    I don't have a good answer for that, other than maybe 7th or 8th (varying degrees of commitment timeframe to failure). You're at 10 days right now? On what day did it start getting easier rather than tougher? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    16 hours. I think I now know what it feels like to be blonde. I can't concentrate on anything and keep getting confused. There's also something screwy going on with my vision that's making it difficult to read. I'd really like a nap. Day 4 is right around the corner, right?

    Just PM the picture of your boobs to me and I'll photoshop it and PM it back.

    I absolutely will not click a link you provide in a thread you started that contains any variation of the word "poop" in the title! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    It pisses me off when I rent a dvd and it's full screen with the big black bars. For that reason, all my dvd rentals and purchases are widescreen. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Are you kidding? The last thing I need on a tandem is a passenger telling me how I'm doing everything wrong, need to slow down, and just missed my turn to final. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Our TMs get paid additional $1 for every pound over 220 pounds. I saw one little TM make almost $100 on a tandem jump $30 TM fee $30 Rig fee (his own) $10 packing #28 (Dude was 248#s) At the two DZ's I've done most of my tandems at, I've gotten $1/lb over 185 (now 190) and $2/lb over 200. My biggest tandem to date was probably a 6'4", 245 lb guy. He happened to also be gay, and grabbed my ass from canopy opening till landing... and with the $90 "fat fee" I was getting, I didn't mind.

    Forgive me, but nothing screams 'poor white trash' more than a wedding reception in a banquet room at Denny's. I went to a wedding two years ago in a cheap Mexican restaurant. The couple and 80% of the guests were a "who's who" of the Washington wine industry, the nuptials were less than 5 minutes long, and the drinking was awfully damned good. It wouldn't be my choice for *my* wedding, but as a guest it was fucking awesome.

    Yes, it is. And that is the worst reason there is. If they don't already know whether they intend/hope to breed him someday, they most certainly won't be doing it to improve the breed. There is no other good reason to breed a dog when there are so many sweet mutts being euthanized for lack of a good home...due to irresponsible owners who leave their pets unaltered.

    :11:0 Went to see Jackass 2 Friday night with a group of jumpers and my body STILL hurt from laughing so much. Did 8 tandems, 1 tandem video, a 2-way sit with a former student of mine, and a sweet sunset tracking dive. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Imagine you were under investigation for child molestation, a grand jury was convened, and they decided there was insufficient evidence to warrant a trial. Would you be ok with a journalist cherry-picking the details of the grand jury investigation and only printing those which seem suspicious? I don't have a firm answer to this question myself. I think in some cases it seems appropriate for journalists to be able to protect their sources, but in other cases there should be consequences for irresponsible reporting.

    In a similar manner to EPs...make it simple. I teach that the proper response to any external surprise close to the ground is "First - slow things down...flare". Once they've done that, they can then decide whether to do a braked turn, land in brakes & PLF, or, if altitude permits, let the toggles back up and proceed with a normal landing once the hazard is abated. If they are too close to the ground to make any of these decisions before landing, well at least the impact will be softer than it would have otherwise been. This method does two things: 1-makes the initial decision tree very simple so that there is a quick response (and it's a better response than a panic turn) and 2-provides additional time to consider a more complex decision tree.

    Your statement also works with a couple of words changed. I think Australia has turned out pretty well, given the nature of its founding society. I vote for us to evacuate it and start it over, populated by all Muslims who think all westerners represent an evil civilization, all westerners who think all Muslims belong to a violent religion, all Palestinians who think all Israeli's are the problem, and all communists and capitalists who cry for the destuction of the other. Let's give them basic medical and agricultural technology, then check back in 50 years. It's pretty freaking simple people. Humanity varies. Everyone has more things that make them unique than things that tie them to any particular group besides "human". The actions of any individual or subset of individuals are not attributable to all members of a parent set. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
