I've broken it up, so they get body position, canopy control, and hand-signals during the tandems. Then the FJC is just AC-emergencies, exit & dive-flow, EPs, landing hazards, and PLFs. One thing on body position - as soon as you know they're going to progress, teach a regular freefall leg position rather than "kick me in the butt" tandem position. A TI worth his salt should have no problems flying it, and it'll avoid exaggerated backsliding problems later. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

When I've done this method, it's been that, with the addition of a non-working tandem on the front (unless we already know they're planning to progress). Ideally, I'll personally do their last tandem before JMing their first AFF, just so I have some idea what to expect for body position, but that's not critical as long as I trust whoever's doing the working tandems to evaluate the jumps squarely. The biggest advantage of this method in my mind is it's easier to get students in the air...they only ever have to wait on one instructor instead of two.

BJ and Roxy moved to Florida last year. He posts on here occasionally as "ikenever" I haven't seen Ken in a couple of years now, since just about everyone that was doing CRW has retired, is taking a break, or has moved away. I'm hoping hoping for an upset tomorrow, with the Dawgs playing well and/or WSU just coug-ing it, but our starting quarterback's gone for season, our 2nd string quarterback is pretty banged up and 3rd string is already scratched. That leaves us a 5th year walk-on who just became a back-up, and a starting receiver who's practiced this week as an emergency back-up. We do have a redshirt freshman who's our slim hope for the future, but it would be silly to lose his redshirt year just for him to play a small part in the last game of a wasted season. Soooo....my expectations are not real high, but the beer is always cold in Pullman and I always have a good time. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

FYI - Consensual is not rape...but I like they way you focus your anger! [austin powers voice]"Yeah...get angry, baby!" Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I've worked with some stuff that will eventually end up there, and I'll be in Pullman tomorrow hoping to see some WSU heads get hunted. Does that help? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Any type of FLUSH is probably BS. agreed on the steering, not sure on the tranny If your oil pan is leaking now, I guess they broke it and they shoud fix it for free. agreed, and if they won't, it's ridiculously easy and much cheaper to do at home You would know if your clutch was out. And if your clutch is out at 30,000 miles, please see your warranty. I think she meant a multiple of 30,000 mile service...probably 120k. And it wouldn't surprise me if it were going The spark plugs MIGHT be a valid repair. and less than $50 & a half hour of time at home I get this same shit ALL THE TIME! I would just go pick your car up and say fuck you very much. Being a guy, I dont get it too often (though I did have a guy at Jiffy Lube try to tell me the clinking sound in my PCV valve meant it was broken ). Still, I agree with your course of action.

No. Funks is the only other owner. Yup, ddt is an owner. Funks we've been trying to get on board, with no luck. He's over-qualified for the job. Is the red text in Funks name going to earn him a larger than normal, flower-wrapped avatar that visible to even those people who have avatars turned off?

From a pessimistic viewpoint, that right there seems to be the primary purpose of dating. It's for figuring out what I don't like about a woman, and deciding whether those things are acceptable or unacceptable. It's sometimes tough to do too, having to step back and predict whether a particular irritant will subside and become just a quirk that I'm accustomed to or fester and become something I can't tolerate.

Yes, but it's entirely possible that these three with the light sentences didn't play an active role in the kidnapping and murder. They may have just been present when those crimes were committed and did nothing to stop them. There are still what, 5 guys remaining who haven't been sentenced? Since we don't know the whole story, let's wait and see how all the sentences pan out before deciding whether some were too light. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

He didn't get 18 months for kidnap and murder, he got 18 months for assault and obstruction of justice. The judge sentenced him to 5 years, but the plea agreement with prosecutors for 18 months took precedence. See here. According to this article two others have been sentenced in this case as well...one to 12 months and another to 21 months. It's my guess that these three were probably more complicit than actively murderous in the killing. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I'm gonna sorta agree with Lucky on this one. When the nation, America, sends hundreds of thousands of troops to invade another sovereign country, the actions of those troops, good or bad, can be properly attributed to the nation of America...we sent them as our representatives. Similarly, when the terrorist organization Al Queda sends dozens of terrorists to the United States to wreak havoc and murder and mayhem, the actions of those terrorists can be properly characterized as representative of Al Queda. It's all about the organization the individuals are there representing. You and I are both partially responsible for the shitty things a few of our troops do over there. You and I elected the government who put them in a position to be such dickheads. But for our actions (as a voting populace), these crimes would not have been committed. We should be proud of our boys when they do good, but we should also be ashamed of them when they do evil. Either way, their actions do reflect on us.

Just in case anyone cares, I've decided I'm going with "Ephemeral Volitations, Inc.", doing business as EV Airsports. For those of you without a dictionary handy, the long version means, basically, "fleeting ability to fly". The acronym EVA is also used to refer to "extravehicular activities", i.e. the maneuvers performed by astronauts while outside of their spacecraft. Yes, I am a complete and utter dork.
