It is not a sign of anything, other than pretty much standard weather in the North East. I would advise you to save up your money, and go full tilt come spring time. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

One of my coworkers was in a similar situation, but because of his driving habbits he was able to show faulty equipment. He argued that since his IPASS worked at tollgate 1 and 3, and was missing gate 2, it was most likely equipment failure at gate 2. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

One comment, I've noticed even 35mm film developed at Costco to be extremely grainy, and look like crap blown up to 8X10. Costco negatives printed elsewhere also look like crap. I don't know if it's their machines, their chemicals, or their maintenance.... but something really sucks at the Costco one hour photo. If there's any chance that I'll ever want anything blown up, I'll take it to Ritz or Wolf for initial processing. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

52 miles to Chicagoland Skydiving Center. Under an hour unless it's rushour, then it can be 2 hours plus. 88 miles to Skydive Chicago, 90 minutes if its good, over 3 hours if its bad. This is largely why I haven't been to Skydive Chicago all year... _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

I first got a land line because I wanted a credit card. As of two years ago, credit card applications would be denied without a valid land telephone number. We kept the land line because of DSL. We're moving shortly, and will likely ditch the land-line when we switch to Cable-Internet. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

Skysthelimit NJ dz and court!??!
AndyMan replied to skymaster's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Your flat out denials are of little insight... Are you saying the court case didn't happen? Or that the judge did not rule as reported? Or that the facts as reported are incorrect? Please expand... _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. -
How bout this for a new altimiter?
AndyMan replied to kai2k1's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Keep in mind, thousands of skydivers (myself included) jump using a Suunto wrist-watch as an altimeter. The manufacturer specifically specifies it's NOT indended for skydiving. My advice: Wait until you're thoroughly comfortable with altitude awareness, such that you don't need the device to keep yourself alive. Then give the new toy a try. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. -
For some reason, one scene has always stayed with me. For whatever reason, a band is playing at the edge of the runway, and 60's era dancers are dancing. The band stops, the drummer looks up and says "ah, so!" and the band continues.... Definately the campiest movie ever. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

It appears to be an attempt to 'stun people with glitz', rather than convince them with information. It has been widely debunked. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

I don't think there has ever been any issue of weather Iraq ever HAD WMD's. I think it's quite widely known that they did have them, and did use some of them against their Kurdish population. The issue was whether or not they were all destroyed. It seems like they were. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

From the CDC, US populations: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/stats/hasr1402/table1.htm Your 60% figure is not even close. The actual figure for 2002 (which are the latest numbers), show less half. 44% to be precise. Injection drug use reports in at about 10%. Infections caused by injection drug use is dwarfed by infections caused by heterosexual contact. Women: 22% Men: 12% Total: 34.% Heterosexual causes are only 10% less then homosexual causes. My version of the stats (taken from above CDC table) in excel attached. My impresion of the media reports are that they've stressed that women are at risk, and that minorities are at risk. Given that they ARE at significant risk, that risk and until recently that risk hasn't been widely discussed or even previously acknowledged, it sounds perfectly reasonable to me. I still don't know how this relates to the welfare of the kids of gay parents, nor do I understand how perceived media bias relates to a controlled double-blind nationwide study which was not widely reported. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

Does anyone have any pointers for getting innexpensive multi-stop airfares? We want to book Chicago -> Toronto, Toronto -> Atlanta, then Atlanta -> Chicago. We're seeing prices starting at $500. It's be cheaper if we booked two separate sets of flights... but then we'd have a stopover in Chicago. Is there a secret to getting good prices on Multi-stop trips? _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

You're seriously taking thiss off topic, but as of yesterday 50% of the worlds HIV population are female heterosexuals. http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&tab=wn&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=hiv+women&btnG=Search+News That said, I completely fail to see how this has any relevance to the well being of kids from gay parents. HIV has not been a "gay disease" for at least 10 years. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

Don't do it. MS Access does not have any kind of row level locking. Sharing access to the DB itself is a recipe for disaster. Two unfortunately timed concurrent writes can hose your entire DB. If you absolutely MUST use Access, then write wage page to be the single interface. Relatively straightforward using ASP. Viable alternatives are MySQL and (PHP or Java) _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

It's not one article, it's one study. That one study happened to be done by a very well respected organization, known for doing "good science". The organization doing the study, and the publication printing it are not often accused of bias. The publication itself is well respected for having high standards. The study itself was a peer reviewed, double-blind, nationally scoped demographic study, largely considered the "gold standard" of science. So it's not just "one study", it's "one very good study". If the results can be duplicated by others, it will be undeniable. That is absolutely true, and is a wonderful thing. You've got the right to decide how your children are raised. I would think - and do hope - that your will has more detailed instructions about who raises your children. I hope you've picked individuals to take over, and not just specify their sexual preference. I'm quite sure there are millions of heterosexuals you'd abhor to raise your kids.... The biggest frustrations on the other side of this issue, is that gay people are often NOT given these same rights to decide how to raise their families. Gay partners are often denied basic rights, like making medical decisions about their partners and children, or the ability to specify adoption orders in case of death. This lack of rights is so often justified by myths such as the one this study addressed. Both my loving wife and I are thrilled to see this myth so effectively debunked. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

Kids get shit from other kids for lots of different reasons, most of which are beyond anyones control. As the study shows, despite this they turn out quite normal. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

I presume adopted kids have no parents? I think most would disagree. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.
