    Yeah, that was pretty clear. The question is who is behind those murders, and what information were they trying to suppress by killing Palmer. The second part appears to have been given Monday night... a nerve agent attack, though we have seen these things come in layers before, and already this year...assasinations over the top of an airport siege on top of a theft of nerve agents. Still, we don't really know who's behind it all, only that whoever it is knew Jack was still alive. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I hadn't heard that one. So assuming the opposite is true as well, if a gal tells me I'm a great kisser, she also thinks I'm a great lay?! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Hey, wait. I said maybe, but now that I think about it, my SO thinks I'm great!!! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Depends on where you go. We've got riverfront condos with a yacht club just out the back door and a golf course across the street out front that run from $300,000-$500,000, and I know of very nice, new-ish condos without those luxuries that run around $200,000. I don't know of any 1 bedrooms, and 2 bedroom units aren't all that common. Property is cheap enough where I live that most people just build/buy houses. A couple years ago the gal I was with and I built a new house on a quarter acre lot for $168,000... 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2 car garage, 2200 finished square feet. Why would we want to share walls/ceilings/floors with others when we can have that much more privacy for less? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Where I live, apartments are things you rent by the month. Condominiums are things that look like apartments except that you buy them. I asked awhile back whether the terms were interchangeable in some cities (seeing the purchase price of an apartment in Manhattan), but didn't get a very good answer.

    Really? I think the term "old timer" is kind of a compliment. I jump with a few guys who've been skydiving for 30-40+ years, and I see that experience as something interesting and positive. That said, I guess I kind of agree with RL...it's time in sport (with a reasonable number of jumps) more than age. I've had students and novices substantially older than me who I've occasionally referred to as "kids", and one guy I refer to as an old-timer isn't *that* much older than me...we snowboard, wakeboard, rockclimb, and skydive together, so he's definitely not fossilized.

    10 to 4 would suggest 10 towards 4, and thus 10 before 4. 10 away from 4 could be in either direction, before or after. I have no idea on that use of of though, and don't use it in such a manner in my speech. For that matter, I don't use "to" in such a manner either; I use "till" or "after".

    I haven't jumped several of the more modern canopies (HOP, Firebolt, A2, or Sigma), but compared to any of the SETs and EZs I've jumped, I can say that I *really* like the Icarus canopies. I've jumped the 330, 365, and 400. The 330 is nice if you're at a low elevation and/or have a nice landing area...I've taken my max weight students on 330s under such conditions with no problems at all. The 400 is nice at higher elevations with heavier passengers, especially if the landing area is kinda rough. The 365 is a nice compromise between the two and what I would buy as my personal tandem canopy. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I thought the AIC was designed as a "continuing education" course for current instructors, perhaps those interested in being an IE or CD, or just better I's. I didn't think it was an entry level course for those wishing to upgrade a coach rating to an instructor rating. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Sure it does, double pane, it's pie proof glass Good luck with that. It's like the "pope mobile" + It's not like you're gonna do anything about it, considering you are in WA. and anyway, it's been over a week, numbers are up, and I'm immune Ha hah! I *had* meant it just generally, not personally, but since you put it like that... Blues, Dave P.S. Thanks go out to Jim & Jan for the lessons. "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

    Angelina doesn't do much for me, but damn I'd have a hard time picking between Scarlett & Jessica! Can I just have both of them for half the time?! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I'm just replying to get this one saved for posterity in case you delete it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    No. I think that killing people is bad in general, and I'm just curious why you think that doing it for one reason is worse than doing it for another. Talking on the cell phone and driving is not such a good idea. Driving on zero sleep in 24 hours is not such a good idea. Driving after a 12-pack of beer is not such a good idea. Why do you think the last one is worse? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    You didn't answer my question. How does the booze-drugs make it worse? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Just to offer a counterpoint. Both rape victims and molested children have to deal with the fact that they encountered evil incarnate, sexually. However the rape victim may rationally conclude that her attacker was more powerful and there was nothing she could do, while the victim of molestation may be forever haunted by the fact that they were tricked/misled/played along. It does seem to me that both parties will probably have permanent emotional scars as a result of those crimes, but the rape victim may someday find solace in her innocence whereas the child may always feel partially guilty. Then again, I could see both of those going the other way...the rape victim blaming herself and the child accepting that he/she couldn't have known better. Who knows, both suck.

    How does the involvement of alcohol and/or drugs make it worse? If I cause a head-on accident and kill someone, does it really matter whether it was caused by my a) talking on the phone, b) falling asleep, or c) being drunk?

    Yeah, lets go with that. It's been 48 hours since the jump occured so i'm immune.

    My theory is that a lack of skills can make a bad or average kisser, and that one can be a good kisser through skill alone, but *intoxicating* (able to cause weak-knees as Sunny put it) takes more than just the lips and tongue.

    I've only kissed a couple truly bad kissers, but agree that the deal is off immediately upon such discovery. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
