  1. Great job at Nationals, guys. Good luck going forward. We are all engines of karma
  2. You can find video of all 2012 competition dives here: http://www.omniskore.com/comp/2012/usnats/default.html Get 'em while they're hot. These won't stay available forever. We are all engines of karma
  3. I would love to see that! I had just started jumping in 1986, moved to the SF Bay Area. Trekked to Lodi on the weekends. My very first weekend, I walked up to the hangar to see Mirror Image, Coors, and Army dirt diving 8-ways. A couple of months after that, went out to the DZ on a Wednesday afternoon. Bungie said I could follow Mirror Image out of Dause's Beech ("BTW, I don't want to see you" ). Tom Sanders was videoing. That dive absolutely blew me away! I didn't think it was possible to do the things they were doing, with such control. I've been a RW-junkie ever since. We are all engines of karma
  4. As always, good stuff. Thank you. Are you saying the Keynesian multiplier is only applicable when the velocity of private money is low? We are all engines of karma
  5. And, the timing and impact of global warming. Have the Himalayas finished melting yet? We are all engines of karma
  6. That's my take on the multiplier, also. But, ShcShc11 is an accomplished economist, and he's also very good at explaining his thoughts. I'm looking forward to any reply he chooses to make. I'm certain to learn something, and I love it when that happens. We are all engines of karma
  7. Maybe you could help some of us here by explaining the multiplier. Why is a government spent dollar more potent than a private dollar? Is that a reasonable way to phrase the question? We are all engines of karma
  8. Romney showed himself to be a rationale guy last night, as opposed to some war monger. That's what he needed to show. We are all engines of karma
  9. My 4-way team is going intermediate, and we're turning 10+ avg. We're arriving Friday afternoon, and plan to be at the dropzone all day Saturday and part of Sunday. Anyone else looking? We are all engines of karma
  10. Many times now, I have seen Democratic politicians in NYC proudly hold up shotguns "recovered" where ever, and proudly claim they taken one more automatic weapon off the street. If these guys can't get their names straight, how in the world will any one ever agree to the definition of automatic weapon? It's beyond ridiculous. We are all engines of karma
  11. Having seen other emails and articles around this, expect Trump to say that the Obama administration had made an offer to the Iranian govt along the following lines - do anything to show you've stopped uranium enrichment, even for a month or two, and the US will back easing sanctions. The Obama administration has done this in a effort to bolster their reelection campaign. Expect Trump to say it is a naked attempt, and that Obama is putting himself above the good of the country.

  12. We're still working on this. Have made improvements, and have also discovered that point is the least of the concerns here. OC basically needs to be head down out of the door, with his legs up the hill, so the point can stay head high. IC must be out of the door completely facing prop blast in a head high position. Basically, IC and OC must be acrobats. This is a very difficult thing to do... bob.dino's comments on IC actually make sense to me now. We are all engines of karma
  13. You're right. Let's hope America wakes the fuck up. We are all engines of karma
  14. Big Bird has made enough money to start his own plant... We are all engines of karma
  15. Obama had his ass handed to him, and decisively so. My favorite line was in reference to some tax deduction (IIRC) given to jet owners. Romney said, something along the lines of, "I've owned planes, and I don't know what you're talking about". We are all engines of karma
  16. Good luck! Keep us posted. We are all engines of karma
  17. Our country is broke. We need people making decisions who understand financial math. Every other issue is a distant second. It really has become that simple. We are all engines of karma
  18. +1 We are all engines of karma
  19. Maybe Bernanke is targeting unemployed MBS traders. These guys tend to have a large marginal propensity to consume, when employed. We are all engines of karma
  20. Good point, but the feds/etc. have that market tamped down as best they can. Definite cabal going on there. We are all engines of karma
  21. Stocks react favorably to the QEs. That's about it, though. Most people don't realize that the stock market really isn't sh-t. It's the bond market that makes the world go around. Bond volumes historically dwarf stock volumes. Bernanke himself really doesn't believe QE3 is going to do anything. He has been reduced to managing expectations of a mostly illiterate populace.

  22. $40B/month in the MBS space is not a lot of money, in a short term context. Previous 12 Months Volume for Mortgage-Backed Securities Here's the corresponding DTCC chart for govt bonds: Previous 12 Months Volume for Government Securities We are all engines of karma
  23. I would change the topic to "peak oil" before they show up... We are all engines of karma
  24. Coreece - you should watch the drunk posts... Just step way from the keyboard... We are all engines of karma
