I know. But, I'm just a happy Repub skydiver having fun on a forum. Candidates for VP should be gracious when conceding defeat. He didn't even come close.

The Breck girl's speech was 'very bad form old man' NCAA (No class at all) Maybe he is not happy because he his wife is so fat.

You might have your legs (knees) too close together. Spreading your legs apart will give you more 'roll' stability than if they are close. May not be your problem, but something to consider.

Capewell can bind up when under a side load (as when hanging from one side only after not cutting away at the same time). The rivets that serve as the pivot can get loose and cause the problem, if I memory serves me well. We should make it clear that the technique for the softest landings is to haul down on the whole rear riser just barely before landing. Even so, landings aren't always soft, and I sure as hell wouldn't encourage doing it with a vintage, tiny, hi-porosity round reserve. the descent rate under those things is terrible unless you are really light, and the low attachment points on the harness for many belly mounts really suck for opening shock and the reclined positon it sets you in for landing. We used to have no choice. This is a part of our heritage better left in the past.

The order is based on maintaining horizontal separation. That way if something does change 'mid jump' such as a premature opening, you are still safe. Of course they should not alter their plan, but the standard exit order is designed specifically to provide horizontal separation because just planning on vertical separation is not wise. That is not realistic, in my opinion. We wouldn't need but 1 second between groups if this were true. We wait much more than this so that we can focus on our planned dive, whether it is RW or FF. The std exit procedure takes care of the early opening scenario. No need for one group per pass. Of course with enough time delay between groups, it doesn't matter who goes first or last. Most people are not inclined to wait that long, however. In my opinion, the std group order should not be changed because a belly-flyer is planning on opening at 7K (unless,as stated before, they are willing to wait a significantly longer period of time than normal).

The willingness to overlook the current atrocities officially condoned by Islam because of what happened centuries ago is not a defensible position, in my opinion. Christians that kill abortion doctors in the name of their religion are not sanctioned by mainstream churches, and are sought/prosecuted by authorities. Islam is the modern day religion of death/prejudice/intolerance etc. Republicans are hated if they oppose gay marriage. Where is the hate, or even condemnation for Arab cultures that do not support gay rights or women or religious rights etc. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

Mr Whippy, I like that Some examples of bad landings, and then some examples of good flat turns, doing accuracy type approaches in deep brakes, etc. might be very good to show there are alternatives to hard turns.

Thank you, what is your reference? And all this I thought SH was content with just terrorizing his own countrymen.

Quite right. The world would do well to... Remember the Neutrality Act of 1937? Remember how the lend-lease act passed by just 1 vote in Congress (If memory serves me well)? Remember how so much of the world closed their eyes to what the Austrian corporal was doing? He was clearly violating the terms of the Versailles treaty. Winston Churchill was decried as a warmonger until Chamberlain's 'Peace in our Times' was shown to be no more reliable than the treaty 'dolph penned with Stalin.

Doesn't anyone remember the use of shoes to hit SH's picture? And this was at a time when reprisals by SH loyalists was quite a real possibility. The Iraqi population became more discontent when the infrastructure could not be fixed so quickly after decades of neglect. What Arab country has a history of experience with freedom?

Within the thread concerning the AZ fatality, it was mentioned by a jumper that he had experienced a spinner on a canopy loaded at 1.4 that was nearly impossible for him to raise arms to handles. Of course many have been able to cutaway from spinners at higher loadings, 1.4 is not so extreme, so maybe that particular spinner was uniquely severe? However, as loading goes higher, I would be interested to see the g-load applied when typical spinning mals happen, how quickly does the max g-load get applied? Also, at what g-load is the avg jumper able to still get to their handles? I suppose this must not be too big of a problem, or there would be many incidents like this, but I think it might deserve more study. Has this already been studied? What do you think?

If you are belly flying after a freeflyer, then you are likely to be relatively close to their 'column'. If they should happen to pull early, then you are screwed.

Don't forget that the shoe bomber was nabbed, good thing he was stupid enough to use matches, a butane lighter would probably been quick enough to make it happen. I also remember a few months after 9/11, that a planned attack on a bunch of European sites was thwarted. I remember the NATO headquarters, some EU buildings and such as the locations that were to be attacked. Remember the guy stopped at the border in Seattle, wasn't it coming off a ferry? He had the explosives, planning to use it at the L.A. airport. I heard an interview of a guy that wrote a book about other plans that have been stopped, broken up due to good intelligence. The author was surprised, as am I, that the administration has not wanted to take credit for these incidents. Bush could make big political points if he did. Providing more funding to "first responders" (as Kerry whines about Bush not doing) will do nothing to continue the pre-emptive actions that are needed. We ought not treat this as a criminal matter, responding after the fact, as the FBI was previously required by law to respond.

Then why was the WTC bombed the first time uner Clinton? Following this logic we should have a summit with Middle East dictatorships to find out how we can make them more happy so they don't want to attack us. The Dem claim that OBL actually wants Bush to be elected, and endorsig Kerry is his way of making that happen, is really stretching. Maybe he is using triple reverse psychology, or quadruple...

You can't keep a 767 straight from a 757, and you are surprised that a witness isn't good at planespotting when it goes by at an extreme speed. I won't see anything at all clearly when you look at pictures of a plane flying by so fast. 500mph is about 733 feet per second, or 24 feet of motion during a typical 1/30th of a second camera exposure. What a load of shit! Of course it sounds like a missle when flying low, fast, at high power. But do you think the eyewitnesses have ever heard a missle? A fast flyby of a jet at an airshow, etc. is a lot different than a typical takeoff/landing at a commercial airport.

You might consider one that needs the service to be done (at appropriate cost, of course). You pay SSK directly for the service, seller ships it to Ohio. SSK should owe you the report of the unit's health. Anyway, it will leave in good condition - repair/replace/adjust whatever is needed. You then get a unit with no doubts. Don't buy it until you get the OK from SSK, so that if it got wet you wouldn't have a worthless unit, they won't fix that sort of stuff within the cost of the 4/8 year service. Your risk is only that service cost. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.
