If you can find a copy I'd also recommend Executioner: Pierrepoint - the autobiography of Albert Pierrepoint. It's a very good discussion on the subject of capital punishment from the viewpoint of an official executioner (btw the book is much better than the film) Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation

Best revenge I've ever seen on speed camera cops was a friend of mine. Girlfriend 9 months + pregnant wakes him at 3am - baby's coming - ambulance is going to be 90 minutes, midwife the same and decides to drive her to the hospital 40 miles away. Gets caught doing just over the limit by a static roadside cam. Arrive at hospital and contractions slow to nothing - hospital staff say to BF go home and get some stuff, it'll be hours yet. He just gets in through the door, the hospital are on the phone - get back here now. Off he goes and gets caught by the same camera. When the fixed penalty notices arrive he appeals both and explains the mitigating circumstances - no go - has to pay the fines so in revenge he goes to the car parts shop he works at and makes up a pair of licence plates with the same number on them as the police mobile speed camera van and then spends the next 3 months speeding past every fixed speed camera in the area. AFAIK, the chief constable in his local police force had something like 300 speeding tickets for the police speed trap van before they twigged something was wrong.

Please forgive me but IMO, and I'm probably wrong, it sounds like your SO's objection to you posting on here is that the sound advice you're getting contradicts what he's telling you. TBH it shouldn't be "WE know what WE need to do" it should be "I got this advice from my instructor and he told me how I need to go about achieving this in a safe manner" - it has nothing to do with your SO's needs or wants. As a student and a noob, my instructors have told me that based on my performance I should be OK flying a 190 but because I know that my finances and my wife's health don't allow me to jump as often as I'd like to, I've opted to fly a 210 main/220 reserve simply because it will be a little more forgiving in a crisis.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I bet if f you hear gunshots outside are you are not going to go stand in front of the window either. I call bullshit. You're not that special I never said I was special, I just listen when the animal within says run like fuck. Human senses record everything - sounds, temperature changes, pressure changes, tastes and visual clues but then the higher brain edits out what it considers to be extraneous information. The lower, animal brain doesn't do this and reacts to possible danger by starting the fight or flight reflex. The trick is to learn to recognise the signs that your animal within is screaming 'run' at the top of its voice. This ability to listen to the animal has been reinforced by military training - in the event of receiving effective enemy fire you are trained to Duck - make yourself a smaller target while ascertaining whether it's just a stray shot that's come near. Dash - run towards substantial cover Down - hit the deck short of your chosen cover and Crawl - into cover quickly making it harder for the enemy to see where you are Observe - your arcs looking for the threat Sights - set them based on observation of the threat Fire - return fire to suppress the threat The first four items do nothing else but remove you from the line of fire (threat) and only then do you start to analyse it and formulate a response. My uncle told me a short story that applies: A fox has chased a rabbit everyday for a week and failed to catch him so standing outside the warren entrance he asks the rabbit why - the rabbit replies "When you're chasing me you're running for your dinner but I'm running for my life!"

Personally, I have a highly developed sense of self preservation and anything out of the ordinary sounds alarm bells. If the sea suddenly went out by two miles I'd be running in the opposite direction as fast as possible. A bright flash in the sky on an otherwise clear day or a bloody great fireball screaming past would have me finding a small dark room with no windows to hide in until I was sure it was safe. (admittedly this comes from tours of duty in Northern Ireland where bomb blasts were common as were injuries caused by flying glass.) Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation

According to the TV programme there was something like a 2.5 minute delay between the flash of the detonation as the meteor fractured because of the pressure and heat caused by the atmosphere and the multiple shockwaves from those detonations. Plenty of time to see what the hell's going on and realise it's probably not a good idea to be standing by a plate glass window. Apparently the blast was equivalent to about 10Kt at 17km altitude. If the meteor had stayed together and impacted there would have been a lot less time to react and you'd have been dealing with a 10Kt ground burst. Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation

I am so glad to be a Jedi - don't have to bother with all the burn in hell crap. The universe encompasses both good and evil and each individual makes a choice whether to do what is morally right or succumb to the baser urges and follow the path that leads to the Dark side.

TV programme on the Chelyabinsk meteor - shown on UK channel 4 on Sunday http://www.channel4.com/programmes/meteor-strike-fireball-from-space/4od very interesting, and as I expected, the vast majority of injuries were caused by people rubbernecking the vapour trail from their windows.

An induction charging system wouldn't work where I live - we can't even get cable television because we're too far from any city for it to be commercially viable for any company to install it.

+1 ^this^ They're being given a medal for operating what is effectively a computer game. Speaking as someone who's been on active service I find the whole idea of this medal insulting to everyone who's ever been on the receiving end of enemy fire. As far as I'm concerned this medal ranks slightly lower than a Tom Mix decoder ring Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation

Of course, the other possibility will be similar to what happened in the UK when farmers started introducing rabbits with mixomatosis into healthy warrens - basically you'll end up with a species resistant to the control measures because they'll be the only ones that survive to pass on their genes. In the UK wild rabbits are pretty much immune to mixy which means that when there's an outbreak it's usually domestic pets that suffer from it. Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation

I have no idea whether that was real but if it was that was shocking - some of them are going to have lumbar problems. When I used to train with weights I always wore a heavy leather lumbar support belt. Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation

Of course, there are those who think that Speakers Corner just allows the security services of the UK to keep an eye on potential troublemakers and subversives. Why bother to follow them around when you know where they're going to be? Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation
