  2. I think not, the Horcux are made from ordinary objects not living things. Riddles diary Gaunt's ring etc... Nagini???? not a proven Horcrux, merely a suggestion But Dumbledore's suggestion so I wouldn't rule it out. We are not certain of the hard and fast rules of Horcruxes (Horcuxi???)

  4. Anyone live near Mt. Shasta? Or have climbed Mt. Shasta? I've worked on some rocks from there and now have a notion to climb the thing. I'm looking for local info, input and possible expertise before I start hitting up the geologists I know (they can be a bit stuffy). Shoot me a PM if you live near it or have climbed it. Thanks
  5. That would mean part of Voldemorts soul is in Harry.... not sure. Beginning book 4 in my saga. I need to slow down.... Scars remind us that the past is real
  6. Sounds like you want to do pack like I do - a modified psycho pack. Pro pack as normal - lay it on the ground and cocoon like a normal propack, but instead of doing the first s-fold, put your hand on the label and bring the entire cocoon over and back towards the container. You should have one fold and be looking at the tail roll. You can neaten this up, and then roll the canopy down to fit in the bag. Just make sure to pull the bridle attachment point out - should be easy to do. A lot of people pack this way and when I show new packers that have been struggling this method, they can easily get it in the bag and start getting much better openings. If you have questions or need pics let me know. Steven Scars remind us that the past is real
  7. I've always wanted to become the proverbial crystallographic ant so that I could visit all the various minerals crystal lattices. I especially long to visit the clinopyroxene lattice as the mineral fascinates me. Just think of walking around all those atoms and bonds; mirror planes stretching here and there... Maybe even see a few dislocations - or a pencil glide axis!!!! Scars remind us that the past is real
  8. you need canopy coaching???? Scars remind us that the past is real
  9. Who?.................................................................................................. Tell Ian I said hi and show him how we do it Raeford style Scars remind us that the past is real
  10. Raeford Jump Club is pleased to have Ian Drennan up this coming weekend for canopy coaching (Jun 30th and July 1st). There are two classes - a basic class on Saturday and an advanced class on Sunday. The ONLY cost to you will be your jump tickets (although a small donation to jump club is always welcome to offset costs of the cookout and to help out with the travel). There are still slots left in both classes. If you want in, please let me know as there is some info I need to get from you before Ian gets here. The classes will start at 9 am both days. Please forward the word to anyone who you think might be interested. Come get your jump on! Edit to add: As always - cook out saturday evening. Scars remind us that the past is real

    I'm in lust

    I've met Micro in person. He's definitely *not* Mike Rowe, but he's every bit as funny and a riot to hang out with! Walt as long as he keeps his pants on!!!! Scars remind us that the past is real
  12. Ran out of margarita mixer and didn't want to shoot tequila; and as they say - mother is the necessity of invention. Lemon-lime gatorage makes a great margarita mix substitute.
  13. i do believe that only the persons that entered get copies of the videos, hence the $10 entry fee....then again i may be wrong I think $10 bucks will get you a dvd with all the movies. As always PM McDuck...and he thought this was over! Scars remind us that the past is real
  14. I'm the one that put the little red tags on everyones rig. Scars remind us that the past is real
  15. wow- all these people showed up and I didn't know who in the world they were! Now they are piping up! and I KNOW I talked to all of them. Thanks to everyone for coming down (or up - or over) - it was a great weekend. I think Kevin is still recovering At least no one passed out in my yard! The parking lot was a different story though.

  16. I have a VW diesel - Golf TDI. On a recent trip to Boston from NC - I averaged 48.5 mpg over the entire trip with 53 mpg on one leg. And since diesel was cheaper (I filled up for $2.42 in at a truck stop) I've been making out like a bandit. The VW diesels are supposed to be good for 500k miles plus. Mine is at 60K miles and no problems thus far. The only thing that really sucks is that if you do have a problem, VW is not cheap with their repairs. I'm hoping we get biodiesel online here soon. I'm not sure how that will affect the mileage but the on the environmental end I think it will be much cleaner. Scars remind us that the past is real
  17. heh - my diablo 190 fits nicely into my J1. Scars remind us that the past is real
  18. Yep - they still do the diamond track. Two jumpers in freefall with smoke initially track away from each other, then turn and track back towards each other. The smoke forms a diamond in the sky. Got to be careful on the return track because the jumpers literally pass within inches of each other in a full bore track. Scars remind us that the past is real
  19. So far really well In other words, every dz needs a gorilla to come looming out of the hanger when the landing pattern is fubared... Who the hell wouldn't shape up and 're-learn' if a 6-4 cop that can eat nails AND out swoop you comes up to you to 're-teach' you!
  20. Its the voltage that stays the same, that is the one thing you can't change. You do change resistance (lower it) which cause current to go up (killing you). but you got the picture now.
  21. I submitted my application to become an Astronaut candidate in early 2005 and was told the next selection would be made July 6, 2005. Budget cuts and other crap got in the way so it was pushed to 2006, then to July 6, 2007. So I've been waiting and waiting and today found out - due to budget shortfalls, the next astronaut selection will happen summer 2008. Well, guess that gives me another year to get more ratings, polish my russian, get in better shape...yada yada yada. Scars remind us that the past is real
  22. A little bit more to this... Ohms law says that voltage equals current times resistance. So a high resistance (say 500,000 ohms - about the resistance of dry skin) with 120 volts of electricy will be a paltry amount of current - not even enough to tingle. However, if you lower the resistance say 1000 ohms - the resistance of wet skin, the current now becomes deadly even though it is still less than an amp. I have a powerpoint of this that I cover with my physics class when we go over ohms law if you'd like me to send it to you. Scars remind us that the past is real
  23. At Raeford, we all gathered in the bar one night, Tony T. gave us his ideas, we talked about them, came up with a plan and now we all talk at the mock up before each load. So far, no problems and it's working great. Scars remind us that the past is real
  24. There is just WAAAAYYY to much angst, testosterone and estrogen let loose in bonfire today. Everyone take a deep breath and give your fellow posters a ****HUG**** Smile - its friday and tomorrow we jump.
  25. Orhan isnt a "big bloke" as you call him.. orhan's awesome, he's sexy, he can dance and he loves it too, he's one of my favorite people in the whole world
