Sylmar Hang Gliding Association

According to my math, 10,000 square feet is the area contained in a circle with a radius of about 55.2 feet' So there's not much danger of the SIBL moms yakking it up on our dime (what about the SIBL dads, you sexist pigs - - as far as I have seen, annoying cell phone use appears to be unrelated to ...

Ilona, the exotic.

Last time I saw her was at Tuttle Creek campground a couple of summers ago. She frequently goes on the Herkin (Right near LaVerkin, UT) Trip in July with Powerline Mike Hopkins, of Las Vegas.

Ask Hungary Joe about defecting from Hungary with Ilona.

Mark also designed and managed the original SHGA website. If the link in Lisa's post doesn't work for you, try it without the period at the end. http://events.caltech.edu/events/event-5482.html Also, there is a great video at http://www.nizer.com/pages/video_pages/promovideo_home.html It includes Ma...

Actually, the first paragraph of the SHGA by-laws provides that: "The purpose of the Sylmar Hang Gliding Association (SHGA) is to preserve the sport of hang gliding especially in the Sylmar Area, to support the goals and aims of the United States Hang Gliding Association (USHGA), and to promote...

That's all I know, from Rome. He said that it has been on the TV news.

Don Banas apparently saw it.

Prostate Cancer is the third-leading cause of cancer deaths among men in the United States. Yet, when detected in its early stages, prostate cancer can be effectively treated and cured. Men, the chances are good that you have or will have prostate cancer. But the chances that it will kill you are lo...

I will send the District Ranger a link to this post to see if the Forest Service Firefighters are interested in monitoring 147.555. Hey, Greblo, do you think that L.A. County FD Airborne Ops would be interested in monitoring 147.555. We could tell them that it might be a way for them to get the earl...

The Forest Service has informed us the the Fire Danger Level is now up to FOUR, meaning "Very High" NEWS RELEASE USDA Forest Service Angeles National Forest Date: August 11, 2008 701 N. Santa Anita Avenue ANF-17-08 Arcadia, CA 91006 www.fs.fed.us/r5/angeles FOR RELEASE UPON RECEIPT Contact...

Allen King, the geologist mentioned in the story, was the Forest Service Regional Geologist who helped us with the Kagel Road washout in 2006.

It was John Cusack.

Angelina Jolie was in that movie, too.

I might get sued, but I registered Moon Unit Zappa, Certificate No. 1527322. I thought it was appropriate.

The Angeles National Forest has bumped up the fire danger to "High." Please be careful about fire dangers on the road to launch and at launch. NEWS RELEASE USDA Forest Service Angeles National Forest Date: June 04, 2008 701 N. Santa Anita Avenue Arcadia, CA 91006 www.fs.fed.us/r5/angeles F...

In Spring 1992, there were record rains, forcing the opening of the lower gates of the Pacoima Dam. Someone said at the time that, at first, water didn't flow from the gates, which had been covered with silt. Instead, the ooze sqoze out like brown toothpaste, then water gushed through. The river bed...

The legal stuff. We all know that personal injury cases can result in huge judgments against the persons found to be liable. In any case where a person is uninsured or the judgment is greater than the insurance policy limits, the winner will come after the loser and start taking his assets – his h...

Under the Club's written Rules Enforcement Policy, an unfair result is pretty unlikely. If a person violates an SHGA rule, there is normally a three-step procedure. 1. The person gets an oral warning that he has violated a rule, and might be penalized in some way, and that if there is a second viola...

Next question – Isn’t “annoyance� a little vague? Doesn’t it depend on the person making the judgment? YES. It is intended to be a flexible standard that can be adapted to conduct that we cannot anticipate. What if a friendly dog jumps up on a little kid and knocks her down so that it inju...

The new dog rule is better. It tracks the L.A. Municipal Code, which provides: SEC. 53.06.2. RESTRAINT OF DOGS. (a) Every person owning or having charge, care, custody or control of any dog shall keep such dog exclusively upon his own premises provided, however, that such dog may be off such premise...

Richard -

Thanks for all the months of work you have done on the windsock.

I'm hoping we can now keep one up there.

We have a lot of unauthorized vehicles getting in, and it's difficult to understand how they are doing it. It seems that our combination is often compromised. It's possible the off-roaders are hacking our website to get the combo, or maybe some SHGA member is giving it out. If our combination lock k...

Groundhog, that is a very nice photo.
