So where does the raft go? Is it like "Sky Ball" in that you can only do this over an area where it won't kill anyone or trash something when it lands? No horror stories of rafts landing on motorways/people/etc? CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

So we were discussing this last night and wondered what the story was. I have heard that they are very hard to keep stable - 2 in boat and 2 AFFing boat - but the main question is what do you do with the bioat afterwards? Does it just float off or is there a way of keeping it with you? Anyone done one? Was it fun? things to watch out for? Any feedback appreciated. CJP CJP Gods don't kill people.

My suggestion got me thinking about the book again and I need to dig my copy out. here is a Synopsis: I still get nightmares. In fact I get them so often I should be used to them by now. I'm not. No one ever really gets used to nightmares. Mark Z. Danielewski's first novel House of Leaves is a multi-layered fiction--part horror-story, part philosophical meditation, and mostly very good storytelling. The Navidson family move into a house in Ash Tree Lane. Will Navidson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist, decides to document his family's domestic acclimatisation in a film, The Navidson Record, but it soon becomes apparent that something is very wrong with the house, and the film becomes a document of the growing disorientation and terror of the occupants. Later, a blind old man, Zampano, writes about this film: at his death, his papers are in disarray, and the strange narrative and commentary are reconstructed by Johnny Truant, a young LA slacker working part-time in a tattoo parlour. Try as he might, though, Truant can find no record that the film ever existed, but the unaccountable fear begins to haunt him too. Ever see yourself doing something in the past and no matter how many times you remember it you still want to scream stop, somehow redirect the present, reorder the action? Danielewski builds, around the armature of the central horror fiction, a complex and involving portrait of three very different characters: Truant's hedonistic trawls through LA are counterpointed by Zampano's intellectual obsessiveness and by the disintegration of Navidson's "cosy little outpost." What is common to all three is a concern for the elusive nature of truth and experience, and the fragility of the deepest human needs for security and family. A first, casual glance through the book might initially be intimidating, for Danielewski uses an arsenal of post-modern and avant-garde techniques, from multiple typefaces, footnotes and collage to the insertion of photographs, sketches, a page of Braille, and even an index--these are introduced gradually, however, and used almost cinematically to slow down or speed up the reading experience. The use of devices like these is not new of course, but, akin to writers such as David Foster Wallace and Jeff Noon, Danielewski freely unites avant-garde and popular art forms, finding new ways to explore what is, at heart, a deep interest in the addictive properties of narrative. Elsewhere, House of Leaves has already been compared to the film The Blair Witch Project for its mix of pseudo-documentary and genre horror: such comparisons draw attention to the way in which many young writers and film-makers are reinventing tired and formulaic genre traditions. The book begins "This is not for you": a warning most readers would do well to ignore, for House of Leaves, despite its occasional stylistic overload, is a book that is near impossible to stop reading CJP Gods don't kill people.

This proves one thing in my opinion. That is: Eat too much, get fat. Wow - stop the presses!! McDonalds is not designed to be a three times daily meal is it? is anything. What happened to a balanced diet? If he had had to eat three chinese meals a day and had to accepty rice when offered he would probably be in a simalar vomiting boat. That goes into my list of all time top worst studies. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

If you can find it then read "The House of Leaves" by Mark Danielowski. Very scary, very wierd but abslutely brilliant. You will never read anything quite like it - I swear. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

There is also the fact that the US waited to see which way the war was going before joining in - to a degree. Granted we couldn't have done it without them (I'm English). It was, at the time, a case of united we stand divided we fall. What I find interesting about Chuteless' comment about not supporting the US is that one can believe that not to support someone is the same as being against them. France stuck with the UN on this one. Let me ask the question - If it had been another country invading a 3rd country to topple the leader they disagreed with, against UN support - what would the US have done? CJP Gods don't kill people.

In this thread I was trying to underdstand the reverse riser side of the mal. I undertsand that the fatality was the result of a number of issues but one that is cited is the slow release/non release of her risers as they were reversed and this is what I was trying to get my head round. i will have a look at the other threads and BPS stuff as recommended. Thanks for the input. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

I don't really understand why the reversed risers were an issue in the recent Australian fatality of Clare Barnes and am looking for some clarification Apparently the container was not set up for rear risers but surely if this was a bag lock, as is inferred, then the risers would have cleared the container and the removal of the cutaway cord should allow their release. I can see why if they were hard against the reserve risers/container there would be little room for the 2nd and 3rd rings to pass but why would this be an issue at line stretch? I can understand that if the risers had not been flexed then it would reduce the speed of removl but if anyone could clarify this for me it would be great. CJP Gods don't kill people.
