  1. That is not my experience at all. I saw a Chiropractor for the first time when my friend was in great pain and I went with him. I agreed to let him check me out also. I didn't have any symptoms, but he found some minor misalignment. The first adjustment that he gave me to my neck made me feel a huge rush of energy, and I felt like I had perfect posture without trying. At first he had me coming in 2 times/week, but it quickly reduced to once/week, once/month, and he later said I should only come back every few months. I always feel so good after the adjustments, but stopped seeing him after about a year.. My friend who really needed the help, was pain free for the first time in years after the first adjustment. We were both very happy when we left. Years later, my wife needed help bad, orthopedic docs were no help, so I got her to see a chiropractor, and the results were also immediate. Again, she had frequent visits at first, tapering off with time. People can be more pleasant to live with when they don't have chronic pain.
  2. You can have a pad sewn in to take up some of the extra volume. Of course you don't want any snag points, and many would only want the mfg or another very experienced master rigger to do it. Give Sunpath a call and see what they say. Even if they are not interested to do it, it definitely can be done. But actually, I think your Jav might be much more adaptable to smaller canopies than you have been told, even without a pad. You might try to put someone's smaller canopy in your container. You could use your D-bag or theirs to check it out. If you are going for a new container, you might be able to negotiate a price for your old rig at the same time you order a new one, the bigger dealers are probably more likely to be willing to do this.

  3. The bag probably moved up the bridle after you cocked it. As you throw your canopy around and down, it is easy for it to happen.

  4. If you want to raise more money rather than less for a charity, then depending on the 'charitable impulse' will not be as successful as not depending on it. Many are just not that charitable. This should not be a surprise. It would probably be a very good fundraiser.

  5. Such bitterness! People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  6. Good luck keeping it looking good. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  7. PD asserts that they can dictate what reserves get attached with their product. Some riggers go along with it, others don't. It is not more complicated than that.

  8. I understand that it is very frustrating for liberals to not be in power. Can't you post about sex without mixing politics in a bonfire post?

  9. I've never used the 'drop a knee' method. What has worked well for me is think about rotating your leg about an axis running through your upper leg/thigh. Sorta like your lower leg is a rudder that is trailing behind you to deflect the airstream. I think I started doing this after noticing the Knights doing it many years ago. I practiced it on a couple solos and now it is natural. One leg at a time or both can be very effective, especially with booties.

  10. I have 2 from Tony, one swoop and one of the std Tony RW suits. No fraying or torn seams or anything like it.

  11. This post covers it pretty well. I think it comes down to the rigger, many will say it is up to them to decide what is compatible. Others are a little more anal http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=408291#408291 What would really be a drag is to get a rigger that will not repack a rig that already has them installed.

  12. I believe that is possible to tolerate and dissaprove at the same time. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  13. The rate at which you lose altitude is not accelaration, that is velocity. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes. If you start at zero downward velocity, you will fall less distance in x number of seconds compared to someone starting at terminal velocity during the same number of seconds.

  14. Easy to say, but I was once told to unpack both canopies. Didn't matter that I had the TSA policy with me. They said it had been superseded (not true or course). They have the advantage of time, and can allow/disallow what they want. But thanks for the advise, I will put mine in a garbage bag within my suitcase next time.

  15. Sleeves will help a little, but I think you should get another suit, the swoop suit is not appropriate for you. Did the people at Tony Suit advise you on your choice for what version to buy? The slower falling suit version, simply called the 'Tony suit' is baggier, will have a little bit of wing, and made with heavier fabric, which has more drag. In my experience, you must be able to slow down to 110, and fly comfortably at 115 to be able to play with the rest of us. That speed is SAS, were you quoting your SAS or TAS speed? After you lose the weight, you will have 2 suits for different jobs. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  16. No, it is not possible, and it does not matter that it was signed under duress. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  17. That is very true ,my freind. Couild you please post "proof" that Osamas' video is legit? I knew that you couldn't! That tape is of a fat black guy . He be waitin' on the KFC truck to come on down the road. Osama is more a bean sprouts and shish-ka-bob type . Certainly he aint got no fat ,wide nose. Look at yo' Mama! Blues , Cliff Isn't it true that the Arab world believes that UBL did it? Why do you not trust their judgement?

  18. How do you suppose a war should end if one side is getting beaten so badly that it wants to surrender? How does such a surrender document get signed, while not under duress?

  19. Of course our government has more resources. That proves nothing. You are quite sure that it wasn't UBL. This claim is a new one to me. I don't expect you to prove it, but are there any other sources that make the same claim? I don't think any proof would be enough to satisfy you, because you don't want to believe.

  20. I never said and don't think they're unsafe, I just know they are a lot more likely to result in injury when used. The fact that they are better than nothing is not in dispute. The reserves from the good old bad old days really suck compared to what is available now. If the use of a front mounted reserve is an important part of the nostalgia of such a jump, can't it at least be a modern round reserve?

  21. Just because you claim that UBL's claim of responsibility was fabricated does not make it so. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  22. SH did not live up to the cease fire agreement at the end of the gulf war. Should we have just said, "never mind, you don't have to comply after all?" Germany was allowed to violate the terms of the treaty of Versailles. Many thought they were not a threat. They were wrong. He was firing on our planes regularly. He was sending money to bomber's families. Maybe we should have sent a diplomat, he probably could have returned with a piece of paper, declaring 'peace in our times'. Unfortunately, this is still a world where violence is needed to protect our freedom. Some think increased funding for 'first responders' is a critical priority. I think not. Here is the Al Qaeda training manual. It is good to know your enemy. They most certainly do want to destroy us. http://www.usdoj.gov/ag/trainingmanual.htm People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  24. Maybe they got the DC9 because they wanted to bring more stuff with them when they travelled to big boogies. An Otter just doesn't hold enough for a couple weeks on the road.

  25. When it happened to me, I picked myself up and started cursing, then woke up. Where's that necklace you promised? I delivered with the album of the soundtrack of the trailer...
