  1. I'm a newbie myself, so I'm just relaying what a more experienced person told me. It worked for me. A box position is when all of your control surfaces are neutral to the wind. Your arms and legs are doing nothing with the wind. If you want to go somewhere, or turn, you need to press on the wind. That requires force. If you're spinning, something is pressing on the wind. Relax. When you relax, your muscles stop pressing on the wind, and the wind puts you in a neutral position all by itself. Just relax and feel the wind. Have fun, and let your skydive do your work for you. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

    Clearly there are many problems with it. I was wondering about recoil the most. Frankly, I doubt we will see this technology in the form it is now being used in the real world.

    Yep, that's exactly the way it works. I almost have my A, just gotta chase some coaches around the sky a little more. Basically, our student training is a lot more spaced out. What AFF accomplishes really quickly we do slower, over about a license and a half. It's a little more expensive than a clean AFF progression, but it gives a much easier pace. It was a semi-mature breakup. Kind of. Yeah, that's it Whoo, yeah, big airplane! I'm getting excited just sitting here thinking about it. I wonder if I can make a King Air shake by jumping up and down. Hrm... -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

    And me not doing it up the poop chute is supposed to prevent those holocausts? Quick everyone, hide your ass, stop the terrorists, save America! You will excuse me if I concentrate on chasing the terrorists planning these attacks, and not the gay people committing the latest definition of sodomy. EDITED TO ADD: If any guys from the other side of the fence find the above homophobic, it's meant only as sarcasm.

    How is concensual "unusual" sex in private going to force God to destroy America? If ordinary humans can handle other humans engaging in this activity, why would God have a problem?

  20. Yeah, it sucked The 37,000' cruising altitude was cool. The lack of a rig was not. I felt the usual flyer fear, like I had no control over the situation, but it was amplified. Overall, it's not really a big deal. Skydiving teaches you to be cool in a stressful situation, so just apply it! Have fun! -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

    Me and the gf of the fake boobies thread fame have broken up. I'm into clean cuts, but hopefully, after some time passed, we can be friends.

  25. "Beyond Good and Evil" and "The Birth of tragedy and the Genealogy of Morals", Friedrich Nietzsche. I personally would advise to avoid reading books by the hardcore Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Descartes etc. Read articles and excerpts, but only read the full books if you're serious about studying the history of the subject. I found "Introduction to Philosophy" by Louis P Pojman to be a good collection of snippets. We used this book in my Philosophy 101 class and I chose which authors I want to become more familiar with from there. There's an entire section on religion in that book that systematically addresses both sides of the major arguments on the subject, and has a particularly good section on the Problem of Evil.
