    I don't know why not, seen a couple TDM's go out of it.



    I was wondering if they had done it; Didn't know for sure. Thanks for the confirmation!
    It just seems like the only appropriate way to introduce Mr. Carr to skydiving!B|

    Maybe its time I take the leap, someone recommended Snohomish as the place to go for a tandem jump, is there any other place around the Seattle area where i can do a tandem?



    Call Perris Valley, CA, and see if they will take you tandem out of the jet.

    That exit just about kicked our butts.

    23 sec time. One guy got low and it cost us 3 seconds, but it didn't make a difference. First place team was 17 seconds. Second place is just First Loser. No team jackets for us, but it was awesome fun.

    I knew a lot of people who went to WFFC, just to compete in 10-way speed out of the jet.



    Two questions:
    1. What was the airspeed on exit?
    2. Did you hold on to the money and your loafers?

    So the past few weeks, it would seem that food with the slightest bit of heat (scoville scale, not fahrenheit) is no longer palatable or tolerable for me... I used to get the hot stuff at a Thai restaurant, but now the slightest bit of heat is unpleasant or intolerable...

    Anyone have this happen? WTF is going on w/me?



    Menopause?

    I for one am not putting a lot of stock in the outcome of Iowa. As we've seen in other years, the winner in Iowa is not always the one who get's the party's nomination in the end. It's far from over.



    I suspect Iowa is Huckabee's ideal place for support. I doubt he will do nearly as well in NH.

    >You think Kucinich would be more of the same?

    Kucinich would definitely liven things up in DC!



    About a month ago I saw Mrs Kucinch interviewed, and one question she was asked was if Dennis would consider being Ron Paul's running mate. She indicated he would definitely consider it. Just a few days ago I read a rumor that Obama might consider asking him.

    It has been argued that driving is a privilege, not a right, as spelled out in the BR & Constitution. However, if you read those documents as relating to "pursuit of happiness" with a broad view of what constitutes happiness, then the driving thing is cast in a completely different light.



    (Not disagreeing with you, but elaborating)

    Something to consider is that in 1913 NJ became the first state to require a drivers license. Prior to that, anyone could drive a car without restriction. So how is it that the powers-that-be can claim driving is a "privilege" when at one time it was obviously a right.

    And I have it on good authority that even such high-profile aviators as the Wright brothers, not only flew with no license whatsoever, but never even took flying lessons!:o

    They *all* (with the possible exception of Ron Paul) represent more of the same.



    You think Kucinich would be more of the same? You must not have been noticing what he has been doing and saying over the last six years.

    I am happy with that. Huckabee and Ron Paul are pretty good options form the Rep side in my opinion. I am surprised with Obama bin Ladin taking the lead for the Dem. Maybe its living in the south, but I have not been under the impression that America is ready for a black president. Will be interesting to see how that plays out.



    I can't fathom putting Huckabee and Ron Paul in the same category. Paul is the best the Republicans have to offer. Huckabee and Giuliani are the worst.

  15. On the topic of being responsible for the mistakes of our ancestors, this is one of the best quotes I've seen in SC:

    All that said, I take personal responsibility that my ancestors didn't enact better immigration controls.

    He hasn't been on here since December 11. Did I remember something about him going to Europe?



    Seems like about the time the FBI announced they were re-focusing on the D.B. Cooper case, AirTwardo got really scarce.:|

    The badly tattooed dwarf slut flashed you? Congrats, more people have seen her body then Brittney Spears...



    You say that like it's a bad thing.[:/]

  18. It is FLash. All you need to do is locate where your browser stores Flash and grab it. e.g. on my Solaris box, it just put it in /tmp/FlashIJay4b. Copy it to a name with ".flv" on the end and any multimedia player that can handle FLV should be able to play it.

    Okay, that was easy.

    Let's see if this is harder.

    Dude, I think that wig-wearing business is awesome, though I understand that they are ending that, too.

    I think it'd be sweet to wig up like that when going to court.



    Well, if they would at least make the slightest effort to make the wigs look real, that would be one thing, but those wigs they wear look like some moldy old mops discarded by the cleaning lady.:S

    Seriously, I recently read of the discussion in the UK regarding eliminating the wigs, and one argument stated for keeping them is that it gives partial anonymity to the officials presiding over possibly violent defendants.
