  1. You can hire a C-130, or even bigger, such as an AN-whatever from private companies. If you owned such a company, you would not want the military as your competition. Isn't that the basis for the policy against it? 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. Given that the mounting bracket supplied with the unit is no good, they should replace it for free. 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
  3. Depends on how much voter fraud is uncovered, huge in the 2000 election, and expected to be much greater this year. Dems are by far the bigger recipient of the fraud, as analyzed by those who analyze such stuff.

  4. Well said. 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
  5. Why should people feel such pressure to vote? If you don't already have enough motivation to have registered by now, then so be it. The low voter turnout is a sign of satisfaction with the way things are, in my opinion.

  7. Thanks, I now have the play/FF/REW buttons, but nothing happens! Volume control is not the problem. 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
  8. I get the page saying that the ad will start when I open this website, but nothing happens, even when I click on "welcome". I've got a new hardrive after a crash, what software might I be missing? I've got flashplayer installed and some other obvious programs. Any help would be appreciated.

  9. Would you expect it to be accepted at DZs that actually pay attention to gear checks for visiting jumpers? I would not. I understand he doesn't need anyone to supervise.

  10. I just wouldn't expect other DZs that check carefully to be satisfied with such a packing card. Where am I wrong?

  11. Don't expect that to be good enough at other DZs. 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
  12. It should at least have the number of the rigger supervising. Your card will not be honored at DZs that carefully check. Have it fixed, there really is no excuse for that.

  13. I make my own tube stows from the bulk silicone tubing you can find in the fishing/sporting goods section of any department store (really cheap per foot). Use a pair of needlenose pliers to turn one end over about 5mm. Insert the closed pliers into the other end and open the pliers to expand the tubing. Now take a pair of hemostats (sp?) or similar instrument used for other purposes to grab the turned over end of the tubing and insert it into the opened end. Carefully slide the tubing off the pliers and you're done. No need to glue anything. I believe that the canopy dumping out of the bag when rubber band-locking stows break is more common than we might want to admit. For this reason I am a big fan of tube stows for the critical locking locations.

  14. Wide (old-normal) risers are a little better at keeping the tab contained. I would really have to try to get the tab unseated. another plus for old-normal risers.

  15. If you apply the turn gradually, you will not induce line twists until you really bury it. Apply the turn quickly, or alternate your turn quickly, and you will cause twists at a more moderate amount of turn. You should be aware of what the limits of your canopy are, at an appropriate altitude. If you let up on the toggle too late after the twists start, the steering line will be trapped/not go back up - and you will be screwed.

  17. The way they are always so damn dark! Offices, hallways, even coroners work in dark rooms. One show had the cops serving a search warrant on some rich suspect, and they had to use flashlights to look around in a room! Instead of shining bright lights in a suspects' face, they use darkness in the interrogation room. Also, the way faces almost always are only lit up halfway. Right down their nose! It must be difficult to keep light from reflecting back. Of course the jiggly camera, unnecessary zooms, and fast sweeps of the camera have been irritating for a long time also. Many of these shows have interesting plots, just wish the directors weren't compelled to be so trendy. Commercials lately have a lot of shots where you only see part of the face at the side of the shot, or totally stupid close ups. It used to be that students of broadcasting/filmaking were taught these things were bad.

  18. and stop voting them into office (Kerry/Edwards). Well, maybe you recall that it took a Nixon to go to China... Please show us where you get the indication that Kerry/Edwards would support tort reform. Edwards is a shining example of what people hate about lawyers.

  19. Not an unbiased source of information (nor do they pretend to be), but I think truthful: http://www.honestreporting.com/articles/45884734/critiques/Understanding_Palestinian_Poverty.asp People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  20. 5500, 3500, 1800 I don't often look at my visual in freefall. I can tell with my eyes well enough that the audible has not made an error that matters.

  21. I think you're agreeing with me, but I'm not sure. Of course streamers come in different descent rates depending on a lot of factors, but given that swoopers have had a tough time reaching that speed, and I have no interest in a canopy that can dive that fast, I think a lower threshold would allow it to handle some scenarios that it currently will not.

  22. If your first statement is true, then we should NOT hunt down the terrorists. We would never be finished.

  23. I think they should be forced to apologize for this at the beginning and end of every Dateline show for the next 20 years. edit - Consumer reports should also have to do the same for the 'roll over' claims and 'air quality in airplanes' bullshit they reported as fact.

  24. I would rather be able to set it so it would fire at a lower speed. Not as slow as the student version, but not as fast as the expert. My main just can't dive anywhere near fast enough to reach the expert firing speed. I would rather it be more likely to fire if I am stupid enough or passed out under a 'somewhat' high speed mal and go low. With the existing threshold, I think only a bag lock mal would be fast enough to get it to fire. A really hard opening with broken lines & tears with the user too hurt to save themselves is scenario I am thinking of. At least the reserve would have a chance to help. Of course it would be dangerous for this speed to be too easily adjusted or set incorrectly when powering up.

  25. My old Northern Lite II had no riser covers except about 6 inches worth right at the shoulder. From there to the main tray was completely exposed. The difference - the toggles would be completely insidet the main tray - not exposed at all, never a problem, never could be a problem. The rig was quite wide and not very long, so maybe that is what allowed the toggles to not be exposed.
