Show some sensitivity, Juanito, I think that's how the sheep communicate what they like. One kick means harder, two faster, etc... he cant tell hes the insensitive type, you know, puts their feet in his hipwadders to keep em close.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

to throw some gas on the fire.... now apply this logic to canopy choice.... 'you pays your money you take your chances" its your life, risk it in any manner you chose, poor planes, bad pilots, unskilled jumpers or tiny canopies, just dont whine if the consequences catch up with you...the key word is you would i sue? no way, no how, and i've taken the steps i can to ensure no one else will on 'my behalf' ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

lots of places dont take low numbered checks which is silly becuase banks simply started offering checks numbers at 500+, 1000+ etc... doesnt matter if its the 3rd check you've ever written in your life, since the number says 1003 your golden... bureaucracy sucks.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

whats silly is assuming the dragons were real there are soooooooooo many easier ways to kill on thats after you....can you say canopy wrap and cutaway? maybe thats why the skydiving scenes sucked they had to find a few who couldnt see all the holes in the plot... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

just go jump, get some ground coaching and a refresher jump and play in the lovely arizona sky... eloy eloy eloy!! ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Some times if you get a TSA person who stands too close to the magnitometer themselves it will alarm as you pass through. I believe there are marking tape on each side of the magnitometer. I always check to see if they are standing behind their line as I pass through. Neet little trick huh? If there's no mark on the ground for them to stand behind then I guess your just gonna have to go with the flow and get secondary screening. oh it didnt beep at all (i always try to dress to pass) but i think my breif conversation about when he recommended i remove my shoes and i told him they would be fine keyed his compadre to pick me for the wand waving act.... no biggy i was more amused than anything...no one even blinked at the rig.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

just flew into PHX (again) was given more grief because i decided i didnt need to take my shoes off (they've been thru hundreds of airport screens without issue) than for my rig...in fact when i was 'randomly pulled aside' they didnt even look at my rig or my laptop but instead did a complete overkill with the wand (which didnt beep once on me no matter how many times he waved it over me..) i think the screener was almost annoyed that his wand wasnt beeping ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

why is that? Because even the "experts" disagree on what intelligence really is. and because does not qualify as a definition of 'intelligent' ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

just got mine and watching it now as i pack to head back to the AZ this afternoon... very very nice.... btw it plays on Sony Playstations just fine... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

you might want to reevaluate your definition of the word intelligent. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

is that a bad thing really? hmmm might have to reevaluate some of my past relationships then.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

would seem to be easier to wash your hands and keep your rig out of areas that it might be exposed to such corrosive chemicals in the first place. what i was disputing was your claim that a AAD is a IED () not that there werent at least a few ways to get a 'false positive' for explosives. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

this is an absurd statement. As Phree pointed out, laptop batteries have more explosive potential... fortunately unless you've been out to the range recently before jumping there is no reason why your rig should hit for explosives... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

as a former employee of UPS i can say the motto is (was at least) "fuck it its not going to my house". that should give you a good baseline to extrapolate from... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

they can actually be disqualified from even having a firearm in the house they live in...even if it doenst belong to them... we've gone way past reasonable with the 'domestic violence' repercussions... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

anyone who thinks the war with Iraq wasnt about American economic stability is deluding themselves... sure there are better, more humane ways we could go about ensuring our way of life continues, however when has our government ever taken the hard road vs the easy one?? those in power always do what is easiest for them to remain in power. It doesnt make it right, but it certainly happens everyday... please Bill, American foreign policy allows far more than those 10,000 to die every year because its in our best interest to do so, or simply not to interfere with those who are doing so, so dont pretend those 10k souls matter one bit to those in charge (of either party) I’m also not going to pretend that the improving the Iraqi way of life matters to them at all, other than the benefits it provided to America... other peoples lives are acceptable trades to maintain our way of life, always have been and given the way our government works (and is elected) always will be... paraphrased “its not about dying for your country its about making the enemy die for his …” (or more aptly 'for yours') ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Note to self - PM John and tell him they are all crazy, just some more then others. indeed there is a scale, tis best to avoid those who's average daily number is over 7... this chick sounds like a 9.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

thats a very 'western' idea i'd say there is no such thing as 'too open' the idea is to absorb everything..keep that which is useful and discard that which is not.. 'void' 'beginners mind' lacking expectations or 'no intention' variations of my sig can be found in lots of places, but its a paraphrase of an ideal my sensei expressed often..

Why did you lock the bag? several airports i've been thru recently will allow you to either leave it locked and hang out by the xray in case they need to open it, or you can leave it unlocked and ask the screener to lock it afterwards...i prefer the first method, but it can take some time depending on how busy they are.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

perhaps you should try to imagine your life with gasoline at 5+ dollars a gallon? this war IS about American economic stability and maintaining your continued way of life, as well as reducing and deflecting terrorist activity against the American populace, the benefits to the Iraqi people (and believe me there are already a great many benefits they are seeing and their children will live better than their grandparents ever could under Saddam) are a secondary effect.. you seem to resent the comfort their sacrifices provide you the unfortunate part is the government couldn’t be more honest about their reasons for it... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

you arent kidding...i pay some poor E6's salary in taxes every month.... the military should be something people are competing to be accepted into, the best and brightest to defend our liberties, unfortunately far to often its a 'well what else is there' option.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Oh Zen I have a beautiful brand spankin' new Katana that we can play under....LOL oooooh havent even seen one yet in the really real world... i do have a lovely black and red stiletto i fall in love with everytime she opens... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
