Congratulations on your real life experience! Thanks for sharing.. "Noble".....is the only word I know to express these most highly skilled fliers. The menacing hand of man was responsible for the near extermination of the peregrine falcon through the middle of the 20th century - the introduction of DDT and indiscriminate hunting contributing to the species' demise - and now there is a 21st century problem that has the potential to be worse. We may have a situation worse than DDT in PBDEs (polybrominated diphenyl ether) It's in computers, wall coverings, drapes, tents. It's in the food we eat. PBDEs are commercially produced substances used as fire retardants in a variety of products: the compound is blended into computer and television casings, carpet backings, textiles and electrical insulation. Research in the United States has already found contaminated, or addled, peregrine falcon eggs. They found the highest content (PBDEs) in peregrine eggs, more than any other species. attached my favorite pic of Remington http://www.peregrine-foundation.ca/index.htm Canadian Peregrine Foundation SMiles

awesome better than a rawk star, if you are promoting the sport I luv with class Hey, that wouldn't be a 220 cruise-lite your flying?? After 900 jumps mine ended up in the closet- but.... I would just die to fly her again on a demo...have had too many opportunities to do demo's and always turned them down....(some very tight, too many obstacles (people)..every year my dz does demo into local airshow. Our jump runs fly over the airport and can't count the times I've checked out the huge size of the landing area there.....- thinking what a fool I am--too shy to land infront of that many people!!, that will be the landing I regret...the one that shit happens exactly when I am minus the soft, long, green grass farm field I am so accustomed to...... shame shame... Now you have to have a demo licence (cnd.) to go on a demo and this year I am planning to do just that!! You be so brave

What a beauty tat, Congratulations!!! "A" license too. Pinky rawks! How many jumps under your belt now?? SMiles eustress. : a positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being.

hmm, my sister went for bigger boobs after her 3rd. baby was 2 yrs. She wanted to improve how she felt about her body. The bigger problem is: having to now wear over the shoulder boulder holders, and back pain........... my boobies are beautiful as they are thanx.

is it more dangerous to be a girl skydiver? ...what is the number of female jumpers/ compared to men at Canadian Skydive Centre? ...does your dz have female skydivers with more experience than yourself, (female mentors) enough ladies to manifest a "ladies load?" I think that if you jump at a dz that is male dominated (most are) you may feel less confident about your skills as it may feel that male jumpers feel more responsible- to ensure your safety. Their over concern may be interpreted that as a female, you are more dangerous in this sport. At the same time, they inspire to have more females in the sport. gotta love them all!! I have been so fortunate to have female jumpers as mentors with 1,000's of jumps more than myself. They shine with enthusiasm, communicate effectively their joy in taking you under their wing, relate to your level with ease...inspire to build your confidence and give back to the sport by sharing their skills with you on every jump made with them. Debbie Harper at Skydive Vancouver B.C. not only operates dz with her husband, is a mother, pilot, been skydiving for over 20 years, professional demo jumper, +++rigger skills, jumpsuit designer and seamstress, aff instructor, runs the parachute shop, does video, cooks awesome meals, avid gardner, on top of making time for fun jumps!! What a woman!! Seeing how much women are respected as skydivers by all around the dz, their attitude, their pride.... develops the structure that woman are just as competent skydivers as men.

hi, re: my uncle died recently and years back he build me a burrow clock, (crap pic attached) and a burrow coffee table. (section cut from tree, dried out for years so doesn't crack, and shows grain of wood, has gorgeous colors, table has legs made from limbs of tree) I am looking to purchase another burrow table and expected to find a business online that builds them. Does anyone know the correct spelling???? or another way I could search??? I am trying to google search for burrow tables and I cannot find using buro, burro, burrow, burrows.... spelling---??? thanks, SMiles eustress. : a positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being.

I work hard at minimizing my needs... life is too short. I do appreciate comfort. Own 1 good pair of runners, pair of sandals and walking shoes. 3 pairs of heels. I get my hair done for my birthday every year (color, styled). It doesn't grow fast but keep it cut shoulder length because it is thin, Sheets? luv cotton--thread count over 200 for my douvet so feathers don't escape. Clothes? as I work from my own office in my home, my appearance is not importand for my business or customers as I work online. Own clothes that are all comfortable to me, express who I am....colors that express my mood, and a few outfits that make me feel femine, (...re: dresses, skirts, heels.) Favorite time of year is summer so most of my clothes are for summer. Love visiting art galleries but do not own 1 expensive picture. Priorities....roof over my head, yard like a park and natural...like to garden, food to eat, spend time with my family, make 250-300 jumps in the summer. Life is very simple.

Muncipal Provincial Auto Crime Team's (IMPACT) in my city (Vancouver, B.C.) has just launched their website which includes audio/video clips of everything that is said and done by the suspects inside the bait car. Talk about a program that makes sense, and is getting rave reviews. Bait Cars are parked in high auto crime areas and left there, sometimes for an hour, other times for days. Once the vehicle is stolen, police are immediately dispatched to the moving bait car. Once police are following the bait car, the engine is disabled remotely and the suspects are arrested. gotta luv it!! watching the audio/vid clips crack me up!! http://www.baitcar.com -does your city have a program like this??

great way to start out a Monday! DZcomic rawks! Great read on the climb to altitude!! I started printing them off and taking down to my d.z., staple new ones to collection kept tucked in pocket on the back wall inside porter)............ by the looks of the condition of pages now, it is getting well read by all.

questions.....questions........questions What are the symptoms of overpopulation? famine, deepening poverty, disease, environmental degradation, and resource depletion?? The prefix "over" implies a standard. For example, "overweight" implies a standard linked to height. By what standard is the earth overpopulated?? Dense cities are often surrounded by nearly empty countrysides. For overpopulation to be real, there must be conditions that are undesirable and unmistakably caused by the presence of a certain number of people. If such indications cannot be found, we are entitled to dismiss the claim of overpopulation?? My son read the book “My Ishmael” by Daniel Quinn, and became very interested in facts indicating- re: increased food production doesn’t feed hungry, only fuels population explosion…the story was about: Searching online together in less than ½ hour we came up with many sources of information and even more questions re: SMiles eustress. : a positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being.

I'm still waiting on being able to post: First jump with a cypres! The time has come for me to invest.... Can't imagine I'll feel a burst of confidence or that I am wearing a security blanket....when that day comes. What I know I will feel is: Jumped 18 yrs. without one (minus FXC for training jumps).....and I have chosen to invest in my next 18 yrs. with one.

ahh, you need a draw program- not photoshop! I draw graphics in corel draw and import into flash, and use them to animate with in flash. The export of image from flash to .jpg- isn't as clear as the export to .jpg from corel draw as that is vector image. sent you another version with lines & cells in black, called pinkyrawkz.jpg can also send you .jpg exported from corel draw that is better defined. Also- you can enlarge .jpg image to whatever size you please without distortion..........compared to .gif files.

hmmm, you do not need to eat more- infact your appetite is probably exact for food you eat & physical activity you get. Nurses are on their feet all day moving- but noticed many are way over weight. My hubby works hard in the bush falling trees all day, climbing around, carrying heavy weight- physical work---he eats like a horse, but works it off and is in top physical condition. Re: muscles are rock hard- lean mean working machine. Anywho- I think the problem is most of our population doesn't do physical work needed to work off what they eat- and keep in good physical shape. Some of us are thin for our build- but our appetite or what we eat, is equal to the physical activity we get. Others are over weight and work sitting at a desk all day- along with a huge appetite and no physical activity to balance. Others are over weight and work out all the time, dieting, and still over weight, ...gain weight eating a apple, needing way more physical activity each day than they get. I think eating our largest meal at dinner time is a mistake. Eat, lounge, and then go to bed. Anyone eat their largest meal at noon, and have a lunch at dinner?? Also babies have been fed pablem before their system is ready to digest food and this may set them up for a life time of being over weight. Re: food introduced too soon?????

This week had my system crash..."Win protection error, system halted", and was sure my mother board was tits. When I discovered #2 stick of RAM was tits- and not the mother board, I went with replacing with new stick for now. Re: hurry up and wait for this system to die before I purchase a mac ??? Also interested in what software to purchase for a mac...and the benefits of 64-bit operating systems has my interest. Windows XP 64-bit supports a maximum of 128GB of RAM with further extensions into the virtual memory space. The x64 version of Sonar 4 has massive speed enhancements possible for anyone performing processor and memory intensive functions like audio and video editing. On a per processor basis, you really can't make use of more than 2GB of RAM in a 32-bit system. Even if you have 2 processors to make full use of the 4GB limitation, the RAM is shared by the operating system and any applications currently running, reducing your available memory to something less than 4GB. hmmm, decisions-decisions...

Hey, looks good but wondering if you considered getting goggles hung up on it, or your shades... all I know with eyebrow piercing have had trouble with healing (permanent thick lump in brow where pierced) after getting bumped or caught a few times...re: (hair brush, shades, helmets, goggles...whatever) SMiles eustress. : a positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being.
