    LOL - not sure how it's rumor given the article citings. Not to mention that it's common knowledge she's being investigated for abuse of power. As for the moderator quip, I must have missed the memo where we're not allowed to have an opinion on someone - I'll check the power abuse forums just to be sure though I'm pretty sure you're just plain old out of luck on that one though Performance Designs Factory Team

    So in light of the Sarah Palin discussions I've taken more of an interest in her, and her stances on things. I recently came across this line http://www.grizzlybay.org/SarahPalinInfoPage.htm and while it's obviously written from a very anti-hunting point of view, it does have some interesting links to Sarah's history of abusing power, or using religious beliefs to encourage censorship. Frankly, I'm not a fan at all so far. IF anyone is familiar with Donnie Darko, I keep getting the impression that she's like the character that Beth Grant played (the ultra conservative school teacher).

    so does Fox, but theirs is in the guise of "news" and not documentary. Oh, and he does research to support is outrageous stretches of the truth rather than just supplying outright falsehoods with no foundation. DSE, I actually used to be a MM fan. I own Farenheit and Bowling for Columbine. That said, I recently got to see Manufacturing Dissent which, coincidently, was made by a MM fan at the time. Pretty interesting stuff in there, and it definitely changed my view of MM. I think you'll enjoy the view, check it out sometime. Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    To answer your question, YES it can be an informed decision. That said, for it to be an INFORMED decision, the person making it actually needs to be INFORMED (educated) about sex. Performance Designs Factory Team

    Check out Manufacturing Dissent. It's a really good watch. Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    McCain "I won't resort to swiftboat tactics" - LIAR. The Repub Party motto (least from I've seen the last few years) is: If you can't beat 'em, beat 'em down. Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    USPA

    ianmdrennan replied to ChileRelleno's topic in The Bonfire

    Recent experiences with the USPA have made me lose faith in most of them (as individuals). They care more about themselves, and little about what exactly their members want. Personally I feel there's too much 'old blood' with far too many political agendas. As an organization I see it's necessity - just time to change the people. Far too many run unopposed in various regions. I'd like to see a limit that a person can hold a position (2 terms or something). edit: Holy crap this is an old thread. Whoops

    Just found out about this, but USPA has a blog that they regularly update so that we, the members, can see the goings on. Anyone else know about this? http://skydiveuspa.wordpress.com/ Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    Not sure to be honest. I'll ask tomorrow

    No, only the top 8 go. If any one of the top 8 can't go then usually the next person on the list according to rankings is called and so on. I've put in a bid to take on the Team Manager role, but I'll be there regardless

    I'm tinkering with it now. So far I like it - seems very fast, and I like the idea that each tab runs in it's own process. Plus the rewritten javascript engine should show good improvements (will test it at work tomorrow). So far my only complaint is that my touch pad will allow me to scroll down, but not up - not sure if it's a driver issue, or a bug - once again will test tomorrow at work :) Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    The tight shorts cut off circulation to your brain. Combined with Alzheimers that comes with someone your age, that amnesia is to be expected

    Spence, it's generally considered poor form to post PM's in a public thread, regardless of your opposing view points. Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    Since I'm sure this will generate a LOT of interest, but not necessarily replies to this thread, I'm going to make it a sticky for a little while. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    USPA's website says has them priced at $16 per jump. When was the bid put in? Before the massive gas price hike, or afterwards? Performance Designs Factory Team

    Chris Cowden made it to just over 3000 I believe before his first mal. I think there's a few folk out there with 5000+ and no mals. So far, my longest streak is 1400 between mals

    Packing up tonight and heading out tomorrow. I'll be at the DZ from Sat. Can't wait to catch up with some old friends, and meet some new ones. Safe competition everyone! Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    That's ok Bruno, you didn't hurt my feelings at all. No apologies necessary on that. I don't need to get in a pissing match with you about salary, degrees, life accomplishments to make myself feel better. I'm quite secure in what I have, what I own, and what I've done. It appears the same cannot be said for you. Typically people who toot their own horn, at every opportunity, really are trying hard to convince themselves, and others, at how special they really are. You have quite a history my friend, both online and offline. Most of us see through that crap. Ian Performance Designs Factory Team
