  1. The manual is available here: http://www.l-and-b.dk/welcome.html 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
  2. My PD210 has about 250 jumps. It still flares very well loaded at 1.15. I get very nice openings from stack packing. If a PD230 is stalling at 1/4 brakes, it sounds like the brake setting is wrong. It definitely takes a lot more than that to stall it if the brakes are set correctly.

  3. At least be wise enough to not use tiny, round reserves, especially if they mount low on the harness. Their descent rate is .... well it hurts! Not worth it.

  4. Because customers don't know any better. I did some ordinary searches and their websites come up at the top of the list, and highlited. Most Students don't know any reason to call the DZ, the skyride people make the arrangements as if they are partners People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  5. Whoa, where's the outrage? 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. Probably a dead bird because your cohorts might build the points around a stationary target - you. How to prepare? Just have more confidence than is justified. Oh, and learn how to do a good flat track instead of just diving down away from people at the end of the jump. You got time for the rest later.

  7. You foolish person, why do you tempt fate so? Seriously, stop while you're in one piece! Or at least just let others try to bust themselves up. 270 lbs! The speed at which I saw one land recently at 100 pound less than that was scary. You must have a heck of a PLF. I'm not going there again on purpose, some things are better left in the past, or at least done with a Jumbo-28 ft (you need extra Jumbo PC) People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  8. To Infinity and Beyond! I will apologize in advance, but personally, I think G4s are a bit ugly, for all that it matters (not much, of course).

  9. Don't do it! I'm sure you had plenty of soft stand-ups with PC's when we were young, I did too, but they weren't all soft . But when I see young guys that don't weigh much pound in fast when they do a nostalgia jump, I don't want that kind of trip down memory lane, thank you. Somebody else will want to do it, just watch them and enjoy it vicariously, you'll still get a kick out of it. Save yourself - just don't do it. (I really am serious)
  10. I get your point now. I think it is pretty cool that Blair was so closely allied with Clinton, yet is also willing to take such political risks with Bush. I think it says a lot for his character, he is not a slave to the party line. A lot of leaders would have just sent a couple of cruise missles and considered it a strong show of force to deter future attacks. Kinda like how our FBI previously was only allowed to act when a crime was already committed. Now they can be pre-emptive.

  11. No doubt! Have you known people that have tried to get specialized health care in Canada? Such care is not in great supply. So everything is free until your life is on the line, then you face the decision of spending your life savings so you can get a bypass operation, or cancer therapy/whatever in the US. Not a good bargain all around, in my opinion. I get this anecdotal info from the Canadian liberal newspapers that I read when I regularly visit on business trips. Where do you think the best doctors will want to live, where they can get paid a lot in the US, or where the gov't dictates their livelyhood, in Canada? I suppose if every country was forced to have the same system/one global government, it would be different - as in there would be a lot fewer doctors (or at least good ones!) I was damn glad that tylenol was so effective at lowering my son's fever when you take the fancy thermocouple out of their mouth and 103 is staring you right in the face! Of course giving them tylenol is not the only thing you should do, but to criticize it is whacked.

  12. ... in which the labour party PM has the guts to do what he determines to be the right thing, at the obvious risk of his political future, even if it is not popular at the time. Leadership is not intended to mean get an instant poll, even if such polls would be quite possible.

  13. Your scenario would not likely happen because DZs will still ask the same questions whether customers come from Skyride or not. And they still have to sign the same waivers. We don't all sue! But it is possible to go from being a sleezy malpractice lawyer preying on 'bad outcomes' to first term senator to having a good chance of being Vice Pres of the US. But of course Edwards was fighting for the 'little guy'. Land of opportunity! Back on topic, I was surprised they did not claim to be affiliated with local DZs that I knew did not accept their certificates.

  14. And, what about Britons?... http://www.mwscomp.com/movies/grail/grail-03.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. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  15. What are the qualifications for "Limey" status? 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
  16. Whatever the average IQ, your attitude could be seen by some as, elitist. 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. You've got a point, but people can lie about their weight or whatever when making arrangements through Skyride or directly with the DZ. As long as Skyride gives their money back if they, for instance, didn't make sure of the 'pre-requisites', then there seems to be no harm except to the potential students free time. If a DZ does accept their certificates, then they have the burden to be sure of Skyride's ability to adequately screen customers. They sure are good at having their websites come up at the top of the list, when you do a whuffo type of web search.

  18. So you agree Kerry should have voted no? But instead he voted yes, wanting his yes vote to mean somethin other than what the resolution said. Like believing a contract says something other than what it says. How did it (really meant 'push for a peaceful solution')? How does Kerry come to the conclusion that it meant something other than what was written? Just because he wanted it to? He should have voted no, just like in '91. Kerry isn't an idiot, but he thinks we are. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  19. I called them to see if they claimed Skydive Greene County(Xenia, Ohio), AerOhio (near Akron), or Skydive Wayne County (Richmond, IN) as one of their locations. They only claimed Richmond to be on their participating list. I informed them that SWC stopped accepting their certificates a couple months ago (straight from Jamie). They are guilty of not being up to date on participating centers, but I really expected them to say that the others were included when I knew it was not true. At the end of the call the guy kept asking me if I wanted a brochure. Even after I finally admitted that I was calling just to "see how much of a parasite on the skydiving industry they were". I thought he would hang up on me for being so rude/blunt saying that I "just wanted to waste his time" I guess he probably gets paid by the number of brochures he sends out.

  20. What document? Nothing there but the drag pic and links to porn. You got nothing. 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
  21. I don't understand, how do you figure this? 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. It was. What is very, very, very sad is that these snipers are being outcast by their fellow soldiers because they worked so close with Americans.....what a fucked up world we live in. They are treated badly, even though it happened in Afghanistan? Goes to show that many peace-at-all-cost types would not have invaded Afghanistan to overthrow the Taliban. Perhaps send a cruise missle or two, but not anything close to getting them out of power. I don't mean to hijack the thread.

  23. http://magazine.novaserve.ns.ca/article361.html It was Canadian soldiers that did it. Very impressive.

  24. Don't get parapak for any of the regular flaps on the container. Parapak will look real 'crinkly' because it is not very stiff. Besides not wearing well.
