    Not really. Corked means that at one point, the cork allowed air to go through while still being in the neck, which in the process brought the "taste" of cork into the wine. The idea behind using a cork is that if kept in temperate temperature with a slight humidity, the cork expands, hence sealing the bottle shut. If kept in a dry place, the cork will contract, allowing air to seep through and inside the bottle. At least that's my understanding of it. Your understanding is incorrect.

    FedEx was ontime yesterday with my new DBox and altimount, but today they're late. I've been sitting at home waiting for an hour and a half for my new camera (FedEx), Cam Eye (UPS I think), box of tapes (DHL), and Diamond lens (USPS). I was hoping they'd all show up at the same time and fight with each other (after giving me my stuff)! Edit to add: Cam Eye is here, but not much fun without a camera. It came via one Fed Ex guy who said the camera must be with another driver. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Don't worry about it Evelyn, I'm the same way. I might come across as a bit of an extrovert online, but in real life I'm as shy and quiet as a church mouse. People are usually surprized by how reserved I am when they meet me. Even though I'm always tame and usually a little nervous at boogies, I always end up leaving happy that I went.

    So if I don't believe in any gods, and I consider no entities sacred, is it impossible for me to engage in blasphemy? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Humor, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. If I think something's funny, it's funny to me. That won't necessarily mean it's funny to you. It was funny to me, not rude blasphemy. Your mileage may vary. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I don't try to keep god out of everything, just out of the things that I participate in. And no, I don't change tunes when things turn south. Blues, Dave So if you participate in something I do, I have to follow your religion that is no religion. Now I understand Nope, not at all. One of the great things about invisibility is you can imagine he's there without me having to acknowledge the same. Now if you start holding bible study in the middle of the dropzone, don't be surprized if I walk away and go manifest for a load. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

    lol, please let MadJohn know that I am going for ECL Thursday night! Jess Jess - You do realize who you were replying to, right? He signs his post "madjohn" and then you ask him to relay a message to MadJohn? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    It'll be nice to skydive without having to listen to all that annoying whistling. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    OK, I guess I understand that. We'd just have to define "charity" to include and exclude certain classes of activity. e.g. Counseling related to ending drug addiction - charity. Counseling related to ending atheism - not charity. I agree for the most part. I don't really have a problem with charities operating outside the tax code as long as they meet certain criteria. e.g. if 80% of their gross income goes directly to helping whatever social issue(s) they're working on and 20% or less to overhead. I just don't want to see it as a tax shelter. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I hold my religious views very dearly. Whether or not I vow to be under a God is quite important to me. I wouldn't want to lie or even lie by omission during such a ceremony. Quote How is skipping those words lying by omission? I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. I can type that quite honestly. I've been saying it that way (i.e. honestly) for most of my life. The lie would be if I included those extra words. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I get the first one, but not the second. Why should churches automatically be treated as charitable organizations? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    WOW! I see nutbags. They're all around me. Some of them don't even know they're nutbags. Blues, Dave Why thank you Dave....God bless you too. Just for clarification, I didn't realize you actually agree with that webpage when I posted that. Beyond that, I was amazed to read that people in modern society think their pet project ought to exist above the law, without accountability to the judiciary. Seems awfully "un-American", doesn't it?

    You've got me beat! I've lost one ripcord and a couple-three through loops, and that's with only instructing my student to pull on 50 or so jumps...certainly less than 100. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Barring a high speed malfunction, would purpose would an audible serve for a S/L student? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    That's cool. I wasn't trying to jump down your throat, but I realize the way I worded that sounded like it. I was just curious how one atheist could speak to the moral codes of all of us. Without saying I disagree with what you posted, those are not the tenets by which I judge something moral or immoral. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Well, look at it this way. In another 120 jumps or so you'll be ready for a class. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
