  1. falls two miles link with some photo's Realising his number was up, he tried desperately to think of his last words. "I tried to think of something, the right thing to say for the camera. But I looked at the ground again and without thinking I just blurted out "Oh s..., I'm dead ... bye!" he told Britain's Mail on Sunday newspaper. Holmes – a former champion skydiver from Britain and 7000-jump veteran – survived, suffering a punctured lung and broken ankle when he landed on a blackberry bush after jumping from a plane at more than 3600m. He spent 11 days in Taupo Hospital. Holmes estimated that he reached terminal velocity of 193kmh during the freefall part of his flight, but that the drag of the parachute had reduced his impact speed to about 128kmh. The Taupo Tandem Skydive cameraman's 30-second fall was captured on his helmet camera. Jonathan King, a friend who was jumping with him, also filmed the fall. As the ground spins dizzyingly below, Holmes can be seen checking his altimeter to calculate how much time he has. He said he knew the reserve parachute would tangle with the other parachute if he could not cut it free. "No matter where I was going to land – the water or the ground – I was expecting that I will die from this."
  2. Trusting all is well and I sure would like to hear from you. Happy Birthday.

  5. Its the curse of Lou Saban, until both men (Ralph and Lou) leave their animosities in the past and Lou is put on Wall of Fame our Bills will be cursed.
  6. I looked around some regarding Sherman Pore and found that his appearance on Idol struck a cord with many people such that a petition has been started that he perform on Idol 6 Final. There are various news articles alluding to this , here is one them Sherman Pore
  7. Hard to know, certainly in this case some slack could be given , here clearly a lovely man who loved his wife. So many folks either in his situation or have been , he sings for many. Given there are many Idol segments on Youtube , Fox being owner of material do pick and choose as to what they will allow. The emotional nature of this precious man, my guess is the Idol program would want to use it to their advantage, having it on Youtube would over expose it , in their eyes. That is one possibility.
  8. A young man has re posted it , with hope they will leave it up.....
  9. The winter season is less busy on a farm as there is less field work, we do try to spread manure some but this not a daily chore. I milk and feed cows in the morning and evening as well this is usually about 6 hrs total. If there has not been much snow we will spread manure but this not a daily chore. in between milking with no field work I work in shed servicing various implements and repairing what needs be repaired. I have other businesses where I am able to sit in office and as many do on wall also have twobillsdrive open on computer. Farmers have times when there is not enough hours in day to seemingly finish work , other times thankfully which are times of rest. I will be going off to India for awhile shorty so I will be out of you folks hair for awhile.

  20. Wigout Now the video has been revealed as a non-branded internet commercial for hair products ordered by Capital C Communications of Toronto. The ad firm wanted to highlight the word "wigout" with the video — a word that will be used in a later more traditional ad campaign for Sunsilk hair products. 'It didn't matter to us whether people believed it or didn't believe it'—Director John Griffith "It's a precursor to the advertising," said McNamara, 31. "They wanted to get the word 'wigout' to the masses." Director John Griffith said he and McNamara spent a few days developing the idea, shot it in a couple of hours and spent only minutes to upload it to YouTube.com. They sent it initially to about 20 people via the internet, but the video was so popular it has been forwarded around the world. "It didn't matter to us whether people believed it or didn't believe it — just as long as they were watching it, sharing it with their friends and talking about it," Griffith said.
