  1. From your question, I am assuming that you aren't sure what corners of the rig are in question. The 'corners' are the bottom corners, where the side flaps and bottom flap overlap. Typical rigs have them sewn so that the corner doesn't completely open, or lay flat, they stay overlapped. They are 'closed' to improve appearance and make it harder for lines and such to find their way out. A closed corner will hold on to the bottom corners of the deployment bag a little bit even after the container is open. An open corner requires a little effort to shove the material get the same appearance of a closed corner.

  2. The Israelis are at war with the PA. War involves the use of violent force to achieve objectives. War will always result in innocent lives lost. War doesn't have to be waged between equally strong adversaries. To play victim because the PA doesn't have the military capacity of Israel is just that, playing victim. The PA should not declare a war when they know they have no chance to win a real war. With all of the billions that the PA has received over the years, they should have been able to buy better weapons. They should try getting some of the money back from Arafat's wife. But they really just want to get media attention and sympathy. The are very skilled at doing that. The PA is fortunate that Israel is willing to wage war in such a limited manner. This is part of the reason why it has gone on so long, world public opinion has been on the side of the poor, oppressed PA for so long that Israel doesn't feel that it can wage a real war against an enemy that vows to destroy them. On the subject of Nazis, what side did the Arab world support during WWII? The PA could have had peace, I refer you again to our middle east envoy while Clinton tried to help them settle things, is there anything you dispute about his characterization of events? He was a witness to it all: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,50830,00.html When the leadership of the PA has the courage that Sadat had, there will be a real peace. I don't think you'll be able to find much from Israel that compares to the filth you can see spewing out of the arab world's mouth on the memri site: http://www.memri.org/video/ People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  3. I get a glance with the corner of my vision (right side) to see that the bag has lifted off, and then bring my head back. I like knowing right away that the PC hasn't snagged something, that I don't have a PC in tow, etc. A lot of altitude can be saved for doing something about it if you realize such trouble right away. The only exception is if there is someone close by also opening, such as after a big way breakoff, and I want to keep track of them. I've caught myself letting go of the PC 'under' my arm a couple times, and then quickly fixed it with a quick 'twirl' of the arm to free it. Don't most of you at least watch yourself toss it? If you look over to the side enough to watch your hand let go of the PC, then you are perhaps 90% of the way to being able to watch the bag lift. Maybe my PC tossing habits are unusual. I really think I am able to do this with very minimal shift in my body position, and I come back very quickly. It would be nice to confirm it with a video to get a better perspective. I certainly am not plagued by bad openings or turns after opening. I do not want a canopy that is so sensitive to body position that I actually have to concentrate on staying level.

  4. Very nice. I see you also have the same low profile reserve handle. I really like it, it was very easy for me to use when I needed it. The standard D-handle seems so bulky in comparison. It is nice to see it becoming more popular. Royal blue instead of black would have been very flag like.

  6. I suppose that a 'fingerprint' of the source material is better than nothing, but the material itself may be obtained from another source. Would we actually have the 'fingerprint' of an Iraian reactor? If a fedex bomb is delivered, what if the material is from a russian reactor in a bomb delivered by others? The Russians could rightly claim that they are only guilty of not being careful with all their material, so much confusion after the fall of the USSR... A lot of what ifs, that is easy to do. I'm just not at all convinced that further proliferation is more of the same mutually assured destruction.

  7. Was there a lineman downfield? That really blows. It is bad for the game when this is the focus. A quick look at ESPN articles shows that it is much of the focus. A simplification of pass interference and some modification to holding is in order. I will change the subject and propose that in basketball, the lunacy of how fouls are called is what keeps me from watching any of it. In baseball, I sure wish they would give the umpires some technology to help them judge the strike zone. It is a bigger issue than just this game. It is a really tough job for the officials, and the rules should be simplified, and technology used to help judgements. At least football does have replay, the owners have been smart on that and it has worked out pretty well. As Madden said, you can call holding...

  8. If the only way for Iran to deliver a nuclear weapon was with a big missle, it would still be horrible, but at least the world could know what had happened and who had done it afterward. If they deliver a weapon in a way that cannot be traced, then that is a very different thing.

  9. The world's history is full of injustices and conquests resulting in cultures that have been wronged, changed maps and boundaries. What exactly do the islamofacists want as compensation? Should we be willing to give it to them? I say no. The arab world chose to not take part in the process that created the modern Israeli state. The arab world vowed to destroy Israel as soon as it was created. They have tried time and again, but failed. They lost the wars, but want it all back without a change of heart, without a change of their original goal. To hell with that.

  10. Islamofacists want us to be like them. That is the problem. No amount of negotiating or apologizing for past injustices will change that. They are determined and the non muslim world must come to realize that. To ask ourselves the question, why do they hate us, implies that the goals and deeds of the islamofacists can be changed through peaceful means. I think not. So, what is 'wrong with them'? Of course the vast majority of muslims are not facists, but too many are willing to look the other way instead of assist in stopping the islamofacist culture. The vast majority of ordinary 'guy in the street' muslims, and arab governments (such as the Saudis) must be willing to turn in the bad guys, for now that is not true. The Saudi govt, and Syria, etc. still supports it. That is what is wrong with them. Their desire to make others live under Shari'a law is wrong with them. It is holding back their own progress. The madrassas, the schools that teach only their religion, and ingrain hatred to all others, is what is wrong with them. This really is a war, the Islamofacists are fighting it for real. Time to choose sides. http://warfooting.com/LookInside/PageID.8/default.asp They have chosen to clearly define themselves for all to see. Many think that the clarity provided by that choice is a good thing, it is at least harder to deny their true intentions. Arafat's intentions were not really different, but he was disguised. Now the disguise is not so convincing. For things to change between the PA and Israel, it will take a positive change in leadership of the PA. If someone with the courage of Egypt's Sadat were to come to power in the PA, there would be a chance. Unfortunately, diplomacy in the style of Neville Chamberlain will not work with Islamofacists. Diplomacy in the style of Winston Churchill is needed, calling them what they truly are, islamofacists.

  11. I saw Frank Gaffney speak earlier today, about his book, War Footing.

  13. I am so reminded why I stopped watching football. Even Madden said it. They can call holding on any play. Pass interference rules have become so complicated that it is impossible for a human to judge. Even offsides on both the offense and defensive sides happens constantly, but only gets called at the whim of the ref. It seemed obvious there were two plays in a row that Pitt's defese was blatantly offside (one resulted in a sack) in a crucial series but no call. Sour grapes, sure it is. What is worse for the NFL is that is makes it difficult to want to be a fan.

  15. I think it was significant in this game. An offensive push-interference that was really barely there. A bullshit blocking below the waist. Bullshit holding. Not calling delay of game, giving the time out instead. The refs get an F. In baseball, it is balls and strikes that ruins the game. In football it is holding, it can be called whenever they want to, it is just a choice of when they want to call it.

  16. Some famous singers are able to put their ego aside and do it straight. Aron is not one of them. A different anthem, but the best rendition of Oh Canada was when Geddy Lee of RUSH did it before a baseball playoff game. He did it beautifully. I sure would like to hear him do the star spangled.

  21. I don't see the benefit of cutting off the rings. Why not preserve the option to easily put it back on, in case you want to sell it for example. On my Infinity, I was able to remove the RSL without even having to cover any velcro. The use of the term "should" means nothing more than advise, it is not a requirement. I would think that you would know that. So, what exactly was the wording from Sunpath regarding their not approving the removal of the RSL?
