Not that you asked, but I have to brag about my new toy somewhere. Last week I got a Sony Vaio FW190, built to order. P8600, 2.4 GHz 3 Gigs of RAM 320 Gig HDD (only 5400 rpm, but the 7200 rpm Black Scorpion is on the way) X-Bright Hi color screen (16.4" of amazingness) Blu-Ray Read/Write Extended battery 1080p output through HDMI Bluetooth wireless hub Added Photoshop, Office 07, and Vegas Pro 8 (so I can edit AND BURN hi-def ) Did I mention it's awesome? Last night I backed everything up so I can do a clean install tonight. This being my first experience with Vista, I'm a bit nervous about that. I also got some kick-ass peripherals (new monitor, speakers, BT keyboard/mouse, and a USB port replicator for ease of use as a desktop replacement). And it plugs in easily to the TV & stereo at my trailer at the DZ, so at night I can watch Blu-Ray movies in hi-def, with surround sound. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

FY09 Federal Deficit estimated at $406 billion

You might want to check that out a bit more closely. Prior to becoming Governor, she supported a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman. Later, the Alaskan Supreme Court ruled that such a definition did not preclude the granting of benefits to same-sex partners and that denial of such benefits violated their Equal Protection clause. Palin argued that when voters approved the amendment, they thought they were denying benefits too, but that was not obvious in the legislation. With her hands tied, she vetoed a bill that would have denied such benefits because it was unconstitutional, she let stand a resolution encouraging the court to delay implementation of such benefits, and she signed into law a bill calling for a statewide advisory vote on the provision of same-sex partner benefits. Bottom line? Her actions have been about as anti-gay rights as she could make them. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Am I the only one who would be a bit hesitant to invest in "Nigeria's best bank? I love the fact that they've got a link on their home page for "protecting yourself again scam emails". Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

That, Carnivale, X-files (before it got too convoluted), Seinfeld, and MASH. And yeah, Star Trek TNG was pretty good too, but not so much that I always kept track of the story from episode to episode (I was glad most of them were standalones). I'll also admit to having liked Friends, Ally McBeal (), and Celebrity Deathmatch. Does 10 episodes count as a TV show? If so, put Band of Brothers up near the top too.

OK, fine...I'll submit to my punishment (provided it's you administering it, not Ed, and Muttley gives her permission) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Your rigger can also change CYPRES batteries during a repack, so it only needs to go back to Airtec twice (4 year and 8 year checks). Granted, it's inconvenient and expensive for folks with lots of rigs (like me), but for the average Joe I wouldn't worry about it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

Sexist or not, chivalry is still pretty commonplace in this country. Treating her like he would a male opponent will, right or wrong, make him appear unchivalrous at best. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Two weeks ago, a buddy & I took a young couple on tandems to celebrate their first anniversary. Their names were Andrew and Katrina. I told them they probably shouldn't move to the Gulf area. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I know some "professional teachers" that can't teach for crap. Even if you believe that you are a great teacher, there still may be something to take away from seeing another person teach. I personally love to watch teachers...both good teachers and bad teachers. Of course, I also like to learn. If they're that bad after years of formal training and experience, why do you expect a few more hours in a coach course to make the slightest bit of difference? If they have that much training and experience, what's a few more hours in a coach course going to hurt? If you modify the system such that each candidate only needs to take certain sections, some candidates will likely miss some sections that they needed. Keeping it simple and teaching all candidates the same curriculum prevents such an occurence. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Does he really have a choice? If he attacks her in the way that he is capable, he'll come across as an ass. If he doesn't, he'll likely be on his heels the entire time. He needs to keep it civil and issue-oriented or he'll be screwed, and could really use Hillary's help on this one. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Jumping @ "the Ritz"- Sept 12-14th

Speaking of which, did TheStepchild & I volunteer to bring anything yet? If not, what else do we need? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew) -

I generally try to avoid eating anything that spent its life marinating in piss or poop. Tripe may technically come from a "pre-poop" location, but the fact remains that it's marinated in stuff that's in the process of becoming poop. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

This coming weekend. We start jumping at noonish on Friday and go till we can't put the plane up anymore on Sunday. There'll even be food Saturday night (in addition to beer and debauchery). (Oh, and 85 sq ft doesn't count as "reasonably sized" when you haven't jumped in a year! I have a nice Spectre 190 you can use. ) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

I don't recall previously agreeing on a bribery price for you two. For you...I guess I could forgive one case of your unpaid beer debt, maybe the one for that giant you took this morning. I think Ed's all paid up in that department though. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Holy shit, Roy's still alive! You gonna make it to our mini-boogie this year and get at least one jump in for the year? I'll loan you a rig with a reasonably sized canopy in it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
