Maybe they'll give a discount toward a new Pilot canopy; have you queried them?

The time of the year is critical for some shops. In the winter it's famine, and summer time is a feast!

This frequency of dating must be expensive.

I ordered a jump suit with all the options back on 05/31/2005, and it finally shipped on 08/16/2005. However, it was a rush job and errors were made and missed during the QC before shipping. OK, fine, I returned it, and it was received there on 08/20/2005. Well, I'm still waiting for it, 09/21/2005, and the Northwest skydiving season is just about finished. Thus, you might consider ordering two jump suits. The skydiving industry is very small, and if you ruin one of your suits, you could be in for a significant delay especially in the middle of summer. Fortunately, I own another suit, so I'm still in the air.

The DHC6-100 w/PW-34's and -300 Wings because it's an easy Part-91 airplane, good "spares" program, and they are able to operate comfortably from a soft short field if you get run-off of your regular airport. They are also easy to service in the field with a minimum of tools. Great airplane Canada!

And yet another good looking press!

Here's another seal press I saw while googling. It looks like it has some pride in its construction too.

Pilots walk a fine line during their careers. Any negative character, debt, or physical health issues can sink your job instantly. What if you poke-out an eye during a horseback ride; think the 777 job will still be there? I'm not a pilot, but I hate seeing this happen to them because it makes me wonder when it's going to be my turn.

The argument revolves around living in dependency. Liberals believe that we should care for these people no different than if they were in the hospital and we were in charge of their total well being. While this sounds great on moral grounds there are just too many people living in dependency these days to make this possible.

Sorry, we can't handle the truth! Because these folks were saving their own families, first!

I remember one afternoon when TOP reached for his hat and stepped outside with the CO's hat on his head. When it was pointed out, he pulled it off his head and looking at the two silver bars said, "Great Christ...I've been demoted!"

The GOP looked at his wife who has had problems with depression and the abuse of prescription medications...no way! I'm sure he'd have been an asset to the country.

In the U.S. the use of water tanks for heated water is the preferred method over the flash coil heater typical in Europe. The Uniform Building Code in the U.S. calls for the tank so that the average family has 30-50 gallons of drinking water, enough for the several days needed for the government to mount an organized response to a disaster.

OK, see the attachment!

I would like to hear/see what you end up with from Germany. I've seen these crimping tools for use in packaging that had a beveled nose so that you could get in close, and the jaws were set on dual compound levers such that the jaws remained linear throughout the full stroke, unlike a pair of jaws in pliers that move in an arc.

Well, many of you don't care much about nice hand tools. I don't care for plating, but it would be nice to have handles that align properly and don't wiggle. My lead seal press works fine, and I just closed one of my rigs with it yesterday, but it's still insulting each and every time I hold and use it. What do the Germans use? I know they wouldn't knowingly produce this sort of workmanship.

I'm still trying to find a rigger's seal press that is of the quality typical of snap-on tools. My 28-year old ParaGear seal press still works, but it is poorly made, IMHO. Thanks!

It also works great in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Workstation too!

Hi DBCOOPER, that bruising on your arm looks dark. You should see a doctor just to make sure that you don't have a blood clot move toward your heart. -RMS

Hey, don't forget Pakistan's Abdul Kahn, the father of the bomb, and the shit who sold nuclear weapons technology around the planet!

The smell of power Jul 7th 2005 Odour and mating preferences WHAT'S a girl to do when faced with the choice between a powerful action man who has great DNA but is likely to love her and leave her, and a carpet-and-slippers kind of bloke who will hang around and bring up the kids but may not be Mr Right in the genes department? Well, ideally, she should fool the latter into bringing up the former's children. And a piece of evidence that this is exactly what happens emerged this week from a research group led by Jan Havlicek of Charles University, in Prague. Dr Havlicek and his colleagues were interested in discovering whether women are attracted by the smell of dominant men. A preference for the scent of dominants has been found in the females of other species, and scent is known to be important in attraction between the human sexes in other contexts, such as avoiding inbreeding. The attractiveness of body odour is also correlated with the attractiveness of the body it came from, even when presented separately from that body. But whether the odour of power—or, at least, of powerfulness—is attractive to women had not been established. Deciding who is and is not a dominant male is the first question, of course. To do this, the researchers turned to one of the world's most widely used experimental animals, the hard-up male student. Their subjects were asked to rate such things as their tendency to correct others, to want to control conversations, and to surpass others' accomplishments, in a questionnaire designed to assess their dominance. In their paper in Biology Letters the researchers laconically observe that dominance in this questionnaire “corresponds to the scale ‘Narcissism’ in the widely used California psychological inventory”. After baring their all in this manner, the volunteers had to wear cotton pads under their armpits for 24 hours to collect the sweat therefrom, and also had to lay off curries, beer, cigarettes and similar delights of student life that might affect the smell of their sweat. Surprisingly, given these constraints, the researchers managed to persuade 48 men to volunteer. Compared with this, the female volunteers had it easy. They had to smell the pads and rate them for “intensity”, “sexiness” and “masculinity”. Okay, perhaps not that easy. They also had to vouchsafe whether they were single or in an on-going relationship with a man, and to submit to a saliva test that would show the phase of their menstrual cycle. The upshot of the trial was that women did, indeed, find the odour of dominants sexier than that of wimps—but only in special circumstances. These circumstances were first that the woman was already in a relationship and second that she was in the most fertile phase of her cycle. In other words, dominant males' scent was only more attractive at the point where a woman could both conceive and cuckold her mate. Which, given previous studies that show dominant men are indeed more likely than others to leave a woman holding the baby, makes perfect sense.

Gee John, your better half is easily a keeper, and she's not a whuffo either!

The harness MLW dimension is critical, and you might need to spend a few hundred extra dollars to get it right. If your shoulders become "hunched" when you tighten your leg straps then your MLW is too short. You don't need hip rings to enhance articulation of your hips and legs.

Yes, thanks for the URL!
