might be a case for Regan and Carter, but Clinton has always been a professional politician...that pretty much excludes you from the 'common man' definition.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

there are 'cheater' programs now....just takes a click of a button... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Wasss up JT! i was wondering where you'd been...might make it down to your neck of the desert sometime in the near future... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

last time i was at Eloy there were a couple of birdies around... perhaps you can find one of them to jump with? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

peas = pea gravel a type of 'soft' rock piled as a target at many dropzones it helped disipate some of the energy from early parachutes that dropped you lack a sack of potatoes.. here is a list of skydiving terms from Bryan Burke's Student Skydiver's Handbook ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

in that a calendar is a work of art i'm far more motivated to buy one (or 2 or 10 in addition to other donations) if it contains tasteful, artistic pictures of the female form, who are also talented, motivated, inspirational skydivers. Because as much as you might hate it, JFTC is about saving that form from the ravages of a horrible disease, and i can hang any number of 'regular' skydiving pictures on my walls already that dont really reflect the goal i'm supporting when giving money to help fight breast cancer...[I]which isn’t objectifying women, but your raising money to fight breast cancer here, not brain cancer (which my uncle just died of btw so don’t pretend I’m picking my causes with sexist motivations) is it about 'Women who are skydivers' or 'Skydivers who happen to be women'? there is a subtle difference... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

[reply It's a big problem in places like Perris or Eloy where summer winds can shift quickly in light winds. and suddenly become not so light winds... on a recent no wind day some confusion in landing direction and a sudden change/increase in winds after the first group landed resulted in an experienced jumper doing a downwind "dirt to dirt" landing...luckily with only minor injuries... I had planned on taking the downwinder too as it was the most estabilished landing direction, but the amount of speed he picked up after he turned convinced me i was far better off landing off into the wind than 'jousting' in the main landing area.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

i think i've been sent that link like 12 times since i changed my signature... the 'joke' started last election on a horror literature board i used to write at on occasion...i guess its really spiraled since... strangely enough someone recognized my miskatonic university shirt in the airport last week... uh oh.. i guess we'd better speculate on what dark gods the Skull and Bones Frat worship to keep this thread OT.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Doesn't matter. Dynamic IPs tend to be nearly the same, for area, since they're ususally assigned by POP and people tend to dial into the same number. If its ISDN, xDSL or Cable then its even more so, since ISPs tend to just break up the random blocks per certain groups of subscribers per POP, thus the same group of people all tend to log onto the same POP and all have generally the same IP address, with minor differences. Without going into greater detail of how and why, please just trust me, it doesn't really matter. but then you also get people like me...i travel ALOT and have access to a large number of completely seperate servers all over the world due to the nature of my job... i could be a hell of an internet troll till my bosses caught on so banning me say from the IP i'm using right now is completely useless... i've actually wondered on occasion how many different IP's i've posted from... OT...no i wouldnt pay for TB only. I do donate when the urge strikes however.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Um no, I got a thing for football flicks lol...you know with the rest of your list some how i mentally filled in The Replacement Killers not the Keanu football flick.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

What, rich people can't have more and less in common with the "common man?" I was referring to the fact that he watches baseball, likes to hunt, practices his faith, owns a dog, etc. sort of depends on how they got to be rich...did they earn it or have it fed to them on a silver spoon? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

not the point...what they dont train you to do is check your buddy everytime he fires to make sure he's aiming at the right target.... if you develop and continually practice your own checks and procedures everytime you get on the plane and repeat them on the ride to altitude then we dont have to rely on 'mothering' regulations to make sure your safe. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

you could just train everyone to check and double check their own gear in the first place... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

i'll have to quote my current signature for this particular debate since it might change... pretty much anybody that really wants the job of president is unqualified to hold it...they are all so far above the 'common man' as to have zero understanding of what the people actually think and feel... we've effectively had an aristocracy for the last 100 years or so... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

2 weeks...was going to try to check out skydive El Paso this weekend but the weather sucks for everything but mudding out the radar sites.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

sleep....maybe see if skydive El Paso is open...depends on what time in the morning i manage to get off tonight.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

enjoyed the HP books far more than i've liked the movies they may look the way she envisioned it, but not like i did so... wonders why you wont see Kill Bill? it was split because it would have been faaaaar to long to be one movie.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Kill Bill is a def avoid Hellboy...its beautiful but rather lame, however the preview for King Arthur looked great... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
