  2. His 1st non-emergency jump was out of a skyvan, I believe from Eloy. All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  3. >>>>>> I get a hard time about how big my camera set is... and it is small in comparison to yours... I know how a funky opening is with mine, and would not want one with yours. Get well soon! Josh All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  4. not really a filter, but levels, auto color, and the new shadow/highlight adjustment in CS... The unsharpen mask is also useful for minor focus issues. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  5. My current camera is a Canon D60... The guy landed in a big puddle... got his canopy hung up on one of the buildings... no damage, not hurt, just wet. Its actually a pretty good series of shots... J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke

  7. Kodak has announced that the 14n will also be produced as the DSC Pro SLR/c with a Canon lens mount. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  8. I hadn't realized how far behind I was until I sat down to update my site... anyway... new shots are on my site. Go about half way down the thumbs to get to the newest ones. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  9. She is just trying to prolong her 15-minutes... which were far too long in the first place.
  10. Well, the sun is going down now... so now the Pakis need to keep them contained through the night... Unfortunately, the night favors the defenders who are more familiar with the terrain... Unless of course there are some "assests" in the area that are better equiped to work at night... We can only hope that either the Pakis can contain them, our airbore surveillance assets can track anyone who gets out, or other assets are used to secure the HVT... We'll see what morning brings.

  11. In a tangible sence, he is probably more important that OBL, who is largely symbolic... AaZ is the brain of AQ... The Pakis are backing off saying that it is him, just an unidentified "High Value Target" Hope its him, and he would be of much more value alive.

  12. In general, no I don't care what others think... I do care, to some extent, what they do... In that they begin to either push their beliefs on me, or take away my rights. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  13. I'd say Desertion fits. Since the first gulf war, CO status has been much harder to obtain, and is gernerally not looked upon favorably when decaired in the light of a deployment, hence 2,500 going to jail. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  14. I don't see where his actions force a review of anything... the right vs. wrong of this has been drug through the media for over a year... there were a couple of reservists that tried it at the outset... didn't work for them either... the statement he is trying to make was also thrown about in '91... most people don't buy into it (and don't want to hear it either). J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  15. As do US soliders... they are not free to commit war crimes... we choose to put them on trial ourselves. I seriously doubt that the guy was ever ordered to engage non-combatants (which would be illegal)... If that was the basis of his claim, it would be all over the news... he disagrees with the politics behind the war... that does not make the war illegal, and thus, he does not get to choose.

  16. If he were a naturalized citizen, then I would not be saying deport him... he's not. He has been charged with a Capital offense... if he is convicted, he will be a felon... felons who are not citizens often get the boot... If he is convicted, and he does get to stay, he'll have a hard time finding gainful employment, a) being a felon, b) having either a BCD or Dishonorable dischagre. On another note, my ancestors came over before the US was a country, so as far as I'm concerned the US is the country of my ancestors... and by all scientific accounts "Native Americans" did not evolve here, they migrated too.

  17. Which, if he is found guilty of desertion, he is eligible for... And he already is part of your so called "system"... He's done a tour in Iraq, and his unit is going back... it is the military... in the end, you go where you are told to go, and fight who you are told to fight. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  18. It may not be in that story, but other sources have reported that he is a resident alien... reduction in rank to PV1, 18 months of hard labor at Ft Leavenworth, BCD... when he gets out, kick him out of the country. You join the military, for whatever reason, you don't get to pick which fights you go to and which one you don't.

  19. But the 18th was passed sucessfully, albeit mistakenly... and took over 10 years to correct the error.
  20. I don't see that it is... just throwing it out there so folks can see the full effect of the 10th amendment... not just half of it... It is quite possibly the most ignored amendment there is... as is evidenced by the size of the federal government.
  21. No, the Constitution will not always be right... but there is a process for updating it, through Amendments... a process that has only been sucessful 27 times in the nation's history. J
  22. It also says that anything not specifically granted to the federal governement under the Constitution is up to the states... or said another way, the federal government cannot do anything not specifically called for in the Constitution.
  23. How 'bout the environmental impact of land develpoment? Compare and contrast urban vs. suburban devlopments and the impact to the surounding economies, communities and environments... J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  24. I typically jump a video, still, and flash, or video and two stills... my helmet weighs between 8 and 10 pounds... and has been as much as 15... a sore neck/shoulders is not uncommon... and I have had to take time off twice due to strains. Canopy selection is one of the most important things for camera work... that is for the person flying a video/still+ set up... picking the canopy that has the least likelyhood of slamming you is important. Keeping current helps too... if you are conditioned for the extra weight, and the openings with that weight, you are less likely to get hurt... I took a small break, came back and threw my normal helmet on, had a less than perfect opening, and had to take another few weeks off... so it does happen. picking the lightest possible gear, and positioning it in the right places on the helmet is also helpful. Good body position is a plus... and for the particularly heavy load, I will support my helmet with one or both arms during openings.

  25. The min. is probation... the max is 20 years... and up to $1MM in fines. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
