I'd say that's hardly a functional website. It's about as useful as a football bat. Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

Yeah, and my toothpaste is a preventative measure for my dental treatment. I think my employer should pay for my toothpaste and my toothbrushes. Oh, and food keeps me from suffering from the medical condition malnutrition. There should be an insurance plan that covers that preventative measure too. And.....and......and.....

I've heard people say the original Arthur Bryants is good, but I've been to the Legends one and there are way too many good barbecue places in town to risk trying one that has their name attached to such a terrible one (the one at the Legends). If their original one is good, they should do themselves a favor and close the one at the Legends. I'm not the only one they've chased off. That place is real bad.

Yes, it's out today! First new album in.....well, a while! I'm half way through it. So far, sounds great. Didn't particularly care for the first single, "Tattoo" though. The album has much better to offer. I suppose the DLR vs. Sammy and Michael Anthony vs. Wofgang arguments will rage on. Personally, don't care as long as Eddie's playing. In a perfect world though, I think Sammy with Michael Anthony is the best combination. I think they did their best stuff in that era, but that's just me. Most of their enduring stuff is from DLR era. Anyway, don't care as long as Eddie's playing. Got my tix for the KC show already, loving those AMEX preferred seating pre-sales!

I think your poll choices are spot on. As for me, yes, I exchange expensive gifts and simple things in combination, in hopes to be able to exchange penis and boobies later! Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

Perhaps, but...... it is entirely possible to leave the plane 100% healthy and become incapacitated due to a collision with the plane or another skydiver or, or, or....... It is still worthwhile to think through the situation. If one hand is incapacitated being prepared to cross-pull can make the difference. So there's two forms of mitagation here, 1. sitting out if not physically capable, 2. preparing for situations with contingency training/thinking. Both are good forms of mitigation.

Ah, the good ole flat tax. The problems are, to make it work you'll have to eliminate all the write-offs and loopholes that are used by big businesses and people wealthy enough to hire staffs to do their taxes, otherwise they'll not end up paying their fair 40%. The other problem is that the lawmakers will have to write the plan and pass it. The same lawmakers, that is, that answer largely to the greatest contributors to their election campaigns, i.e., the same wealthy businesses and individuals mentioned in part A. Therein lies the problems with this plan. Personally, I would favor a flat tax as long as it was a true flat tax. Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

I was there the day of this incident and got to see the rig up close and personal after the incident. I can't remember all the details, but I do remember that there was evidence (wear on the RSL and main riser) that this had been happening for some time. This led me to believe that the reserve pin was slowly pulled a little at a time over a few jumps. He had made 3 or 4 that day if I recall correctly. If he had simply pin-checked the reserve pin, not just the main pin (as many only check main), he may have realized that something wasn't right as the reserve pin was displaced. This is speculation on my part, but I'm pretty convinced a check on the reserve pin and putting two and two together would've told him there was a problem with the RSL routing. At first some thought the RSL was too short, but the wear points indicated otherwise. Lesson learned: Check reserve pin, not just main pin. It all counts and it all matters!

Do you realize that this thread is about LAST year's boogie and nobody has posted in it for a year.....until now?

Personally, I think the Safire2 opens too slow and too soft. I think there is also some inconsistency over how many feet that occurs from one jump to the next. I much prefer a canopy that opens consistently and quicker (not hard, just quicker) than the Safire2. To me the Pilot openings are the ideal opening for any canopy. I wish every canopy opened that way, abruptly but not hard, on opening, and consistent. As for bottom end, I simply cannot believe that some are claiming the Safire2 has more. That is totally not my experience. The Safire2 I jumped, wingloaded at about 1.3 at the time, had less bottom end, or flare power of any canopy I've ever jumped, except a T-10 if you're gonna count that. They were close though!

There's a link on the classifieds home page for buyer scams There's also an entire forum here Security and Scam Alerts You should check these out before selling on the classifieds. They may save you headaches and/or money. Basically, the scenario you mention is quite commonplace and easy to spot. Some will tell you to mess with them and lead them on. I prefer to not even contact them. They don't have your email address until you respond to their notification. Their notification, sent by DZ.com, is usually a tipoff that they are a scammer. I've posted here with some tips on what to look for from a scammer. But please do report the user to abuse@dropzone.com so other users don't have to deal with the same scammer along the way. edit: fixed a link Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

And how much do you suppose he'll pay his lawyers to (maybe) collect what sounds like a few hundred bucks? I'm gonna guess totally not worth the time, money, and effort. Of course he may win a judgment for legal fees. Then he's got to squeeze more blood out of the turnip. Personally I'd consult the tax preparer on how to write it off on taxes and cut my losses at that. Then again, I'm not an attorney so what do I know?

Yes, that would be great satisfaction! Unfortunately the problem is so huge, i.e., there's so many scammers out there all over the world and the scale is so small that the FBI probably isn't spending a whole lot of effort and resources in addressing the problem. Maybe a 20/20 or Dateline or some other investigative news show would bring some more attention to the problem and lead to greater effort. But, I wish they could get some of these guys. Of course they would just move on to some other kind of scam....or just keep doing it anyway. These people just suck as you have mentioned. Anyway, best of luck. Hope they get the slimeball!

If you want to have some fun stringing somebody along, go ahead and knock yourself out. Probably not hurting a thing and you'll get some amusement out of it. But.....please do forward the scammer information to abuse@dropzone.com so the user can be blocked. I don't want to have to deal with him and I know there are others that sell quite a bit of gear that just as soon would not have to deal with them if it's possible to get rid of them. As Meso said they email tons of ads, not just yours. So please do us a favor and report it. Go ahead and have your fun, but I kindly request you help DZ.com keep the ads as free from the scammers as possible. Again, they do a great job of it, but they can't do anything about someone that isn't reported. Thanks! Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

Um, no...you don't. It is fact...you don't know shit. Well, I do know you're gone. Sometimes things amuse me more than they probably should. This is one of them. This just cracks me up.

Ok, to me that is very honorable and I applaud that approach. To me, that's good old-fashioned loyalty, perhaps at the expense of a little profit. Loyalty is worth that price, IMHO. I still don't like the certificates in general and I certainly wouldn't recommend anybody actually pay money for one. Not just UPT....all of them.....at least the ones I've seen.
