  2. ERC registration working @ 08:45

    Registered for Delaware's May ERC class. It's always a good refresher, reinforces good practices/skillz.

    Put the slashes " / " in your birth date, otherwise it will bitch.

    Don't use Google Chrome, the site will throw an error after the first registration page.

    Works in Internet Exploder.

    After the ERC finally came up, I registered with Chrome no problem. :dunno:

    Yah.... it can work to your advantage or disadvantage. I was one of the only folks in our class that had rode more than 100 miles... the instructor was pushing me to put pegs down during the cornering tests... on a fucking dual sport. So during a break he grabs my bike and fucking ROCKS it through the turns... full handlebar lock at ~15-20 mph

    Gets off the bike, looks at me and says, "you should be able to do that before the day is over"

    It was boring for those that had been riding for a minute, although it was fun to try to push their bikes a little closer to the limits than I would my own. I had a dual sport too and got pretty good at doing stoppies with it. Instructor just kept shaking his head. I think I did drag a peg, once but I think the parkinglot was a little bit uneven. The one instructor told me to be careful because I was right on the edges of the tread as I did my turns.

  3. Not really, his films are varied and he adapts to each. His success in Edward Scissorhands and Pirates of the Caribbean, didn't stick him with with being a Frankenstein or gay Pirate forever. He moves on...

    If there is a trend, it's scary stuff and pirates and chocolate...

    he's a creepy chocolate pirate...

    His highest rated starring roles:

    Edward Scissorhands

    What's Eating Gilbert Grape

    Ed Wood

    Dead Man

    Donnie Brasco

    Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

    Sleepy Hollow

    Before Night Falls

    Chocolat

    Pirates of the Caribbean: (all three)

    Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

    Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

    Public Enemies

    The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus

    edit: btw, five more movies in the works...

    Alice in Wonderland

    The Rum Diary (producer/actor)

    Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (#4)

    The Lone Ranger

    The Tourist

    No, I agree with the fact he adapts to each role he plays. I think he is a very good actor. I was just let down with the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory remake. But I am sure that was more on the writers/directors than him. I actually just watched Edward Scissorhands yesterday. I do enjoy most all of his movies.

  4. The nature of court hearings is too unpredictable. You'd have to go to every single hearing (and many are continued). You could wind up going there 10 times just to eventually see her lawyer enter a plea agreement.

    Even if they schedule a trial, most are continued at least once, and many are continued several times.

    If they schedule a plea change hearing then that's worth going to. Otherwise it's a crapshoot.

    So is that a no? :p
