By pasting the URL after the first letter "L" inside the first box and then the text you want displayed between the boxes. An example, using parens instead of the boxes would look like this.

Who added the word "tomorrow"? If you have an evacuation plan, then you have planned an evacuation. If the military is planning a limited draft, they are planning a limited draft. There's nothing in that statement suggesting a timeline for implementation. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

The number of protons is always equal to the atomic number. The number of electrons is equal to the atomic number plus or minus any ionic charge. The number of neutrons is equal to the atomic weight (sum of protons and neutrons) minus the atomic number (protons). So let's look at your first example... 16 O 2- Protons = 8 (atomic number of O = 8) Electrons = 10 (atomic number of 8 plus two electrons to get a charge of 2-) Neutrons = 8 (atomic weight of 16 minus 8 protons) Hope this helps. Edit to add: Hey, that was your 100th post...isn't that a beer-worthy event? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

A pretty face and a great smile. You all have my condolences. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

After months of serious contemplation, I've decided to allow my new word to expand its role in skydiving's vernacular. It's one of those words that's so fun to say that I just couldn't keep it to myself, but please don't abuse it. It's a good word that hasn't ever done anything to hurt anyone.

Guts. No tripe, no chitlins, no gizzards, no livers...no guts. Period. If it used to help a critter's poop production or filter nasty stuff out of the blood stream, I ain't eating it. Brussel sprouts suck ass. Anchovies and vegemite are disgusting. There may not be a worse smelling food than kimchi. I've never tried it and never will.

On the non-dessert side of decadent, try the following recipe. I know, it sounds like an odd combination of flavors, but it's awesome! 4 cans french cut green beans 1 pound bacon 6 Tbls white vinegar 6 Tbls Brown sugar 6 Tbls bacon fat 8 oz grated cheddar 1 cup finely diced onion 3 Tbls yellow mustard Cook bacon so it's crunchy--cut/crumble into about 1/2" bacon bits--save 6 Tbls bacon fat. Heat green beans and drain (drain really well) combine vinegar, brown sugar, bacon fat and mustard. Heat slowly, just to a slow boil (don't burn it). On the drained beans, sprinkle onions, bacon bits, and cheese. Pour the sauce over the beans and serve immediately. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Nice snack. I do a fair amount of cooking and am looking around for a recipe to add to this thread (decadent and UBER-fattening). A friend and I routinely do "slab of meat" nights, in which we consume massive quantities of food combined with quite a bit of very good to excellent wines. Our record was as follows: 3.5 lbs of boneless ribeyes (1.75 each) 1.25 lbs giant shrimp .75 lb chinese barbeque pork 3 large avocado's (diced & served over rice w/ vinegar & spices) 2 cups of rice (uncooked measure...there was a little leftover) 2 packages frozen corn (w/ butter) 1 turtle cheesecake 5.5 bottles of wine (the dessert wine was a split) We both fell asleep sitting on the couch watching TV afterwards. Go figure. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

If you somehow knew that you were the deciding vote in this Presidential election, would you cast the same vote you currently intend to? Who would you pick? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

An article that refers to the arrests of Badnarik (Libertarian) and Cobb (Green) last Friday http://www.e-thepeople.org/article/35752/ And another: http://www.greenbaynewschron.com/page.html?dbase=gbnc&article=128014 Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I must not be a very good skydiver. I haven't gotten a speeding ticket in 7 or 8 years. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

What do I win? (mouse over guy, click him a few times, click the circle & check out the archives). Also see this story by the same guy. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Nice one! I mean...umm, yeah, that's why I jump. I do it for all the hot chicks that are always baring their asses for me...yeah, that's it. OK, maybe not, but it sure would be a nice bonus! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I won't even try bungy-jumping. I came into this world because of a broken rubber...I'm not gonna leave here because of one too! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Why do they think Badnarik will be taking votes from Bush? I started out as a Kerry supporter in this election, but am now voting for Badnarik. Libertarians might get some Republican votes for their stance on taxes and gun control, but they're unlikely to attract any of the religious right, traditional family value types. Libertarians can steal some Democratic votes because they're the biggest on individual freedom, but are unlikely to attract any of the welfare state types. Overall, I'd say the Libertarians will draw approximately equal votes from the Democrats and the Republicans. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

You are correct that it appears to have been a stunt, for several reasons (presence of a pilot chute not being one of them). Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Cool pictures. I was seriously contemplating heading down there for the weekend because it's been entirely too long since my last roadtrip to California...looks & sounds like I should have! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

...:4:0 2nd weekend in a row that only involved 4 jumps. One tandem, one freefly, one hop & pop, and one flour bombing contest. Should be able to make up for it next weekend though, provided the weather cooperates and enough jumpers show up at the little shindig a friend and I are putting on.

I know that problem! When I'm working in the field, my truck serves as my office, my cafeteria, my rec room, and everything else. It only takes one day of pushing papers in there to make it VERY cluttered. People who see it after two or more days in the field ask me if I'm living in it. The work I do involves a fair amount of either doing nothing or just watching others work, providing me plenty of opportunities to do things like catch up on my mail, so the laptop and the bills also end up in my truck.

These are the minimums for S/L & IAD... 2 exits without PRCP 3 PRCPs 1 clear and pull ---1 five second delay (my personal requirement, not in the ISP) 2 ten second delays 2 fifteen second delays 2 thirty second delays 2 full altitude jumps Blues, Dave (S/L, IAD, AFF, and Tandem instructor) "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

I like my office because everyone else is within easy reach. The secretarial/admin gals are just outside my door and the owner of the company (my "boss") is right next door to me. Having this office keeps me close enough to talk whenever I want, while still having the option of closing the door if I want some privacy for a phone call, nap, etc.

If they manage to live thru a situation where their Cypress would have fired, but wasn't turned on, won't they get grounded for opening that low, either main or reserve? At that point whether or not their CYPRES would have fired becomes a matter of debate. It's possible that Perris would ground them anyhow, if anyone saw them and had a good idea of how high they were when they opened. Rest assured they'll argue that they were higher than they actually were though, just as low-pullers have done for decades. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I had a CYPRES fire once. I sold it soon thereafter and haven't used an AAD since except on tandem jumps. My altitude awareness improved and I've never found myself accidentally in the basement again. I've become pretty well convinced now that I won't make that mistake again and will likely buy a new CYPRES within the next year. I think this new rule at Perris is a good one and doubt it will discourage many (if any) from buying an AAD. More likely is that visiting jumpers who hear of and don't like the rule will simply not turn their AADs on. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Definitely. I've done 10-12 year age differences in both directions, but not when either of us was a minor (much less still going through puberty!) and not for any kind of long term deal. Even now at 35, I'm guessing the differences that come with a 12 year age gap would be troublesome to any kind of ongoing relationship. It's sad to think that guy was not only a perv, but must have related to you somewhat well in order to maintain a relationship for that long. I thought the only people who could relate to 14 year old girls were other 14 year old girls! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
