When Israel was created, the Arab nations chose to not participate, and promised to destroy it. They tried again and again, but have always failed. The Grand Mufti made the refugees by declaring that anyone in the path of his attack would be considered an enemy. Please take a look at the words from a former KGB man about Arafat as an operative: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=673688#673688 People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

So a rich guy buys a bunch of land and says people can live and work there if they abide by his strict rules. What's the problem again? Quite right, it is not like he is changing an old neighborhood.

I think your question is valid - to pose to your instructors, and I will say that I might disagree with what some others have said here. You should have to arch, but if you are having to arch till it hurts, and your fallrate still isn't enough, your instructors might be wise to consider a little weight on you so that you can be in a more natural body position. This assumes that you are having to try to arch very very much, as this can make it hard to control your symmetry - avoid turns. I'm just saying that it wouldn't be a bad thing to propose to your instructors that you might all be better off if you didn't have to do aerial yoga to stay at their fallrate. However, if they say it is not needed, then don't press the point, let their judgement be the final word, without pushing further. It isn't that weights 'pull your waist down' to help you arch, the weights just make you fall faster than you would otherwise given the same body position. Good luck.

The Camrys are made in California, right? The Solara is just the 2 door Camry, probably also made there. Honda imports very few cars into North America, and several years back was the biggest exporter of cars from the USA. Even the engines and trannies are made here now. A few low volume models are imported from Japan, and the CRV is imported from England and Japan. Toyota is similar with their car and truck production in North America, although Honda still does a lot more of the design/engineering development in America than Toyota. Compared to a lot of cars by American nameplates that often have a lot less domestic content and are much more likely to be made in Mexico, you shouldn't feel like you're buying a less than American car.

Do you mean that there aren't any American cars that will run longer than 7 years or 110,000 miles? Are Chryslers American cars? Being owned by Daimler Benz makes them no more an American nameplate than cars made by Honda of America (in Ohio), I think. Some would argue that I'm wrong...

My '89 Honda Civic 1.5 liter has 225k, still runs great. I even had it seriously overheat twice when the radiator started leaking 3 years ago, I thought that I had toasted the engine for sure - but it still doesn't even burn oil visibly, and only consumes a very small amount. That kind of durability on the Honda gasoline engines is not unusual. A travelling salesman was given a new accord a few years back, after a special recognition ceremony for having put 500K on his old Accord. He had replaced a few clutches and the manual tranny (my auto tranny is still OK), but still had the original engine. My car was made right down the highway from here, in the USA, parts are therefore relatively cheap because of that.

That whole expedition seemed kind of bogus to me. They went through all that trouble to drop in by air with cargo and personnel, but then when they were all done, everything was removed by truck. Well, if trucks have access to the area, then why go to the extra trouble and expense to deliver things by air? It seems like a lousy excuse to make a skydive to me. Just do the same mission by truck convoy! Flame away. Quite right. I had the same reaction several months ago when I read of a mission. I found it amazing that the issue was not discussed in the article, it seems so obvious. I don't believe that it is an issue of getting into an area as quickly as possible, the missions are planned well before the jump, right?

Im curious as to what the advantage is with the mini? You could argue that resale value is better, and if pulling the slider down is important to you. The decrease in cutaway forces with the wide risers is important to me. The width of the riser has nothing to do with the cutaway forces. The size of the rings does however.

Check this thread about reserve handle options: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=718784#718784 Depending on how heavy you are, the wide risers make a lot of sense.

Get licensed before you leave if possible. If licensed, you should just be treated as a visiting foreign jumper, that happens often. The fact that you intend to stay perhaps should not matter. If you can't get licensed, bring your logs, and perhaps a short letter written in English from your instructor explaining his opinion of your progress. If you have video of you exiting, flying, or landing, that would give instructors here some confidence. Show up early to the DZ, be patient, humble, but confident. Be willing to spend some time to impress them with your knowledge, and show emergency procedures in a harness. Study the USPA web site for stuff that you would need to know so that you can pass the A license exam right away (skydiver information manual - SIM): http://uspa.org/publications/manuals.htm Where are you going?

Why do you still offer the old style bungee stow/pouch freebag if it results in fatalities? Is it just because some will not yet accept your speedbag design. If you have such an important safety advantage on your competition that is being rejected by many, why not educate them in your ads? You market some of the other more unique aspects of your rigs as being a safer design. Jumpers love safety advantages, you're the only ones with it.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ha! Ha! Another person re-inventing the wheel. There is a good reason we discarded brass cones 30 years ago. A worn brass cone is worse than no cone because a grommet could hang-up in the groove that it wore in the side of the cone. The simple answer is to make soft grommets large enough that the knot cannot jam in it. I never suggested a brass anything.

At first, we were greeted as liberators. Is it so hard to remember? "Quisling" is not a uniquely Norwegian concept. They did greet us as liberators. You compare those people celebrating their liberation from tyranny to Quisling? I don't see the comparison, Hitler never wanted to liberate a country from a tyrannical ruler to become self governed in freedom. He just wanted to expand his empire. Big difference, I think. Don't you remember all the people that lined the streets as the American troops drove through, or all the people quite willing to hit the pictures and statues of SH with their shoes (a big insult for them)? SH didn't comply with the terms of the '92 cease fire agreement, and kept shooting at our planes. Some would not have become involved in the first gulf war because Kuwait's govt isn't a democracy. Do you think the first gulf war was justified? I think it was, but the elder Bush was wrong to allow SH to put down the Kurdish uprising with his helicopters, which were still allowed to fly by the agreement. I think he should have ordered the helicopters shot down anyway. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

It is not unusual for the goverment to dictate morality through laws. . Once upon a time you could be burned at the stake for heresy or stoned for adultery.
