    Dude, you got it all wrong. THIS is not even close to the govt and it's involvement in everyday captitalism. This is about a big fuck up by BP that has turned into a disaster for the Gulf Coast and many affected states. Many of these states can't act without certain approvals/ok's by the fed gov't. The fed is already "regulating" the safety requirements of off-shore drilling, so we may as well at least call for them to do it right. The gov't also needs to conduct this clean up to be done as quickly and effectively as possible, to be paid for by BP. *I am not afraid of dying...

    What resources does the federal govt. have to deal with oil leaks thousands of feet under the ocean? Anything and everything that might be available to the govt. and the oil companies etc... Obama quote: 'Nobody will do anything without our command or approval, we are calling all the shots and the buck stops with me.' *I am not afraid of dying...

    Yep, its official... Even Chris Mathews bashed Obama today regarding his response to this cluster fuck. So did James Carville. But Obama has no problem tell you and I that their doing everything they can. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

    Yeah, these guys had a blast. yeah that looked like a really well planned out jump. Kinda one of those, "Lets all jump out together and then each do our own thing, just try not to open next to anyone... ok GO!" What a shit show. *I am not afraid of dying...

    I don't blame Obama at all... I'm just sick of hearing him tell the public, 'how it is', when everyone can see that what he's saying isn't the truth. Only now even the left wing media is beating him up on this one. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

    Obama today regarding the BP spill: 'All that can be done, is being done.' Except timely sweeper tankers, approval for barriers that were requested weeks ago, continued use of toxic chemicals by BP..., etc, etc... What a joke. He looked like he was choking on his own words today. This "Top Kill" thing is at least sounding promising. But the ball has already been dropped on clean up. *I am not afraid of dying...

    I'll add that it's ONLY worthy of being seen on a big screen. I pretty much agree... I saw it twice in 3D IMAX and the CGI is a bit more realistic in the theater. I just watched it last night on Bluray and while still a great movie something is lost off the big screen. People definitely missed out if they didn't see it in the theaters & in 3D. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

    I've never seen these ads... Probably thanks to Firefox and add-blocker settings. Anyway, to do a 'screen shot/grab' on a PC all you have to do is press the "PrtSc" key on the keyboard and save. I think some keyboards have that key non-abbreviated, "Print Screen". *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

    I found out that the countdown timer (in minutes) is a load countdown timer.

    You ARE being 100% sarcastic right??? Never mind, guess it's pretty obvious you are. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

    Well, it was Thanksgiving when they said grace. I think for even more "non-practicing" Christians it is more common to say grace on major holidays and when the family is together even though they likely don't say grace on an average day. As far as mentioning Christianity, I do remember the one point already mentioned where someone referred to Bullocks character as a 'good Christian woman'. *I am not afraid of dying...

    I have all my different profiles set with their 3 different altitude alerts as I want them. It sounds like you may be able to chose the type of tone you want for each altitude alert, not sure but wondering. I have it set and ready for use, I'm just curious as to the other functions that are not well discribed in the "reference guide". Any idea of what the "countdown timer" is for? Looks like you can set it from incriments of 5 up to 35 (seconds I believe), and it can be set for each profile. *I am not afraid of dying...

    I don't think stories like that could ever get old.. for me anyway. The whole sports team integrating or the white coach that turns the team around on the other hand has been done. You should give it a try. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

    Your right, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a PLF landing. As far as, "The only reason to stand up your landing is to try and look cool"... is kind of a goofy statement. I can't speak for anyone else but I simply prefer standing up my landings rather than rolling around on the ground, but to each their own. *I am not afraid of dying...

    Yeah... it came with that. Can you answer my questions by using that "quick reference guide"?????????????????????????? Any help from anyone that HAS or HAS USED this audible would be greatly apreciated. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

    That was a great movie... I hadn't heard much about it and didn't even know it was based on true events. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

    Melissa can find the ISP and AFF jump objectives in the Skydiver's Info Manual - CHapter 4 Free download at USPA http://www.uspa.org/USPAMembers/Downloads/tabid/84/Default.aspx DZ's might vary a bit from the curriculum there, so still it's best to drive 15 minutes and hang out and ask questions My first log book came today ... the best was when mom looked over "WHAT do you think you're going to be doing???" Careful where and when you say that from now on... *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

    I just got a NEOXs Audible by Parasport: DZcom Review:http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/safety/detail_page.cgi?ID=692 I have a few questions: 1. What is the countdown timer for? 2. What are the "Ground" and "Up" features for? 3. How do you change the alert tone? or are each of the 3 different alti alert tones pre-set for that altitude? For those of you that don't know there really isn't an owners manual with it, there is just a quick reference guide that maps out the features but doesn't explain a damn thing. Thanks for any help. ps- other than some reviews etc... I couldn't find much else helpful online. *I am not afraid of dying...

    Better yet, just get a backpack from Walmart and sew a big piece of nylon onto it. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
