There was a post about this some past winter.... Besides hot sake, I recommend HOT CHOCOLATE and RUM! Put a candy cane in it! Rum mixes well with many warm drinks....hot buttered rum, tom and jerry, etc. mp "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

my favorite on I-Drive, although much more expensive, is the TUNNEL! Rick, definitely let's do Taverna Opa some evening! mp "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

A friend of mine is a respiratory therapist. I was surprised to learn that he smoked pot. He said that weed when smoked thru a water pipe actually had some positive benefits and increased the flow of oxygen thru the lungs etc. "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

The Columbia's at Ybor is certainly a Florida classic. Check out the bar, it's beautiful! They also have flamenco dancers many evenings. For a first time visitor to Tampa it is a must! However, if you are near the USF area not far from ZHills, (near I-75 between Fowler and Fletcher on 11009 N 56th St) Cafe Don Jose is really the tastiest of the bunch. They have an extraordinary paella among the Spanish and Cuban dishes! Both places have really great pitchers of Sangria (choice of red or white wine) to go with the food!

HEY ASSHOLES! There's a BIG difference between a muff DIVE and a MUFF JUMP!!! marc "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

They are great stories and lessons to be learned, but snopes.com has this to say about the nat king cole story: "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

You can still do a muff jump and get your muff brothers number. Contact HappyThoughts for more info.....plus ZHills still hosts the annual muff brothers reunion in March. No one can replace Johnny on the ride to altitude, but we can strive to keep the faith! marc "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

Bill and Johnny always came across the landing area together too.....hmmm "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

At ZHills, You might be able to rent a trailer on the DZ from Pip and Judy if one is available. You can contact them through ZHills manifest. marc "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

I think you were thinking about Janine, a long time muff jump organizer at the boogies with Johnny, Bill, and Rabbit. marc

nigel m took at least one....i will send to your hotmail mp "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

Happy B'Day! Post the photos! Marc "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

Hey in that foto: POTATOHEAD SIGHTING!! "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

Yes many are the times that I have walked into a WalMart or other family friendly place and realized I had that 'asshole design' on my back! Same with the ZHills t-shirt showing people mooning out the plane windows.... Maybe a simple 'Count OFF!' without the hand gesture (boring) or "RULE NUMBER ONE....DON'T F**cking DIE!" (hmm...maybe not for Chili's?) Your bro in ass-holiness, Marc "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

I wasn't sure how part I about religion fits into it all....but I thought that part well done for most of it. Errors arise throughout the video. Even the site has a page correcting some of them. But if the 'Occult Powers that Be' really were controlling the sources of information, then how did we get to see this video in the first place through the internet??? Couldn't 'they' easily have it removed rather than let it pollute our minds and set us straight? What they say about the education system is interesting. Back in the seventies there were books written mentioning that daily schooling was created to keep all those millions of kids off the streets and out of the workplace. And if everyone was truly educated, society would change too quickly. The whole radio frequency microchip following our every action is science fiction, and has been brought up among others by christian groups as the 'mark of the beast' mentioned in the bible. I have worked with both RFID and the databases that would be needed to follow our activities. Both technologies are way behind what is presented. Those small RFID chips don't transmit very far for starters. And even though database technology can accumulate lots of information about us and certainly do such, the ability to connect databases to each other and analyse them properly to our detriment is still in infancy for better or for worse. Human incompetency covers alot of the issues....not so much a concerted effort to enslave us, but rather our own laziness at educating ourselves and standing up to those who would diminish our freedoms and privacy. Hard to say where the creator of the video is coming from...libertarian, Noam Chomsky fan, former communist, all and more of the above....not clear at all. But his conclusions include that WE MUST THINK FOR OURSELVES, LOVE MORE THAN FEAR EACH OTHER, and get off our asses and make a difference! I certainly agree with those....thanks Tony for posting the link... marc "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

A guy representing FIOS just knocked on the door to tell about the service. The combined phone, TV, internet are the same price total as I have now with comcast cable and verizon phone, at least for 2 years. As you say, speeds will improve. Did you get the whole package? marc "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

Pepcid AC is good too... What always amazes me is how my mexican and indian friends can handle hot sauces on breakfasts! Just a drop of the sauce is too much for me. They must give it to their babies to build up that cast iron stomach! "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

That's for sure! VM is definitely at the top of the list! What else? Hey you three, didn't see you new years...it was fun being a pirate! Have a great 2008! "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

Hey all of you in IT jobs...what do you think are going to be hot areas in the IT world in 2008? In my area of database technologies, here are a couple links to my favorite site for Business Intelligence etc: http://www.tdwi.org/News/display.aspx?ID=8754 The Year in Review, The Year Ahead http://www.tdwi.org/News/display.aspx?ID=8755 Major Data Warehousing Events of 2007 and Predictions for 2008 I think data visualization is cool, you can play around with the stuff on this site http://services.alphaworks.ibm.com/manyeyes/app...but I'm just a nerd! marc "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

Good for you! I have been reading alot about them lately. The trick is not just getting the price down. The MIT folks (Negraponte etal) thought they had agreements from several third world countries to get them distributed but the countries are stalling. Does your's have a solar powered or hand powered energy alternative? I heard that was a major part of the laptop. I think I will contribute one...will check out the site tonite! "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

I was unaware of that, but that certainly makes sense. The few times I have visited friends were in the hours after they arrived there....but the ortho guys do see a lot of the results of bad landings I'd guess... mp "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

Does anyone have Verizon FIOS? What are they getting speed wise with that? "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

You'll be chillin tonite and tomorrow nite for sure! Stay warm everybody! marc "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

Sorry to see you hurt! We met just as you were suiting up for that jump....All our best thoughts to you! We decided not to jump today due to the winds and were loading up the car when we saw her moments after she landed near our trailer. Didn't see the landing itself, saw Squeak as he reached her. It is always a temptation while on holiday to try to get jumps in. The regulars at ZHills always play it safe since there is always next week.... Friends, If you ever find yourself saying something like "This will be my last jump today before the weather gets worse" then think twice before manifesting for it. The weather will probably be worse by the time you get to altitude.... marc

With the high cloud cover you can easily see the wingsuits tracking across the sky...pretty cool! But most of us are staying mellowed out on the ground.... here's a few pirates from last nite... marc "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton
