    Around here, apartments are things you rent. It appears though, that in Manhattan at least, an apartment is something you buy. There's an article on cnn.com right now about how the average apartment price there is now 1.2 million. I've always thought it was just a funny NY way of saying condo, but in the same article they mention condo's as if they're something different. Sooo....what's the difference?

    WooHoo!

    One of our local jumpers is going through a break-up and a job search at the same time and is staying at my house for a couple months while he gets things straightened out. He's a good guy & all, but I'd kind of gotten used to living by myself. Anyhow, he left this afternoon for the weekend. I've got my house to myself for two days and two nights! YEAH! I'm gonna go rent some porn to watch on my new hi-def TV and buy a bunch of beer and food and then camp out naked on my couch for 48 hours! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

    I'm an atheist and can still acknowledge the goodness that Karol Wojtyla has brought to the world. He was an icon for the Polish Solidarity movement that had a significant role in the collapse of the USSR. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    "The essence of civilization is that the strong have a duty to protect the weak." GWB, 3/31/05 Really? It seems to me that the foundation of civilization is the propogation of the strong and eventual demise of the weak. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    You'll never hear me make that complaint, but that's because riggers have taught me for free.

    Sounds fun, as long as I can get some guarantee that a hot chick will pick me up, take me back to her hotel room, and screw my brains out, and then I'll wake up in a bathtub of ice with note saying "call 911 immediately" so I have a good NSTIW story for Saturday night.

    Is my perception correct that the accused in the UK usually maintain their privacy until convicted? If true, that'd be an improvement I'd like to see in the US (where people are tried and convicted in the courts of media and public opinion long before any facts are presented in court).

    I feel for her family and friends. It sounds like some people are trying to make the best of it by ensuring they don't find themselves in the middle of a similar circus, so at least there is a bright side. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    On a related note, I've come up with the basic concept of what I want for my 10 year sky-birthday, but I am TERRIBLE at drawing. Anyone here really good at translating a concept into something that looks good on paper/skin? It's fairly complex and would probably take some time, for which I might be willing to pay some reasonable amount, whether it be cash, a couple jump tickets, or beer. I might be able to just photoshop it, but that'd only get the concept without any artistic element. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Terminator 2 - Judgement Day at #105??! Well above Ben-Hur, Grapes of Wrath, Mulholland Drive, and Platoon? That's just stupid! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Hmmm...Do you have any grey area in that peeve? e.g. folks who have a fair amount of packing experience and equipment knowledge but don't know how to sew? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    One thing that doesn't seem to have worked its way into this discussion is the difference between main and reserve handles. We're down to one student rig at my dz that activates by ripcord, but it is still my policy to teach them that if they throw away/drop a dummy ripcord or real ripcord, it'll cost 'em $15 and a case of beer. Emergency (cutaway/reserve ripcord) handles are a completely different story. I teach all of my students to throw them away, and explain the rationale for this approach, i.e. if the handle can be thrown away, the student must have completely pulled it.

    they can't even form a government, none the less a constitution. You want them to make laws too? They have a President. In the absence of anything more substantial, I'd guess that anything he says is illegal becomes illegal until he says otherwise. He could also decide the method of determining guilt or innocence and the punishment he deems appropriate, e.g. loss of a hand for theft. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

    However they define torture and whatever penalty they deem fit. It's their country, they get to set the laws. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    More people = higher probability of cameras. Blues, Dave You obviously don't know the rules. Oh, I know the rules, but I also know skydivers and their general regard for "rules". 10-way naked numbers without cameras, easy. 30-way, much less likely.
