Do you have any idea of how restricted the airspace is around the pentagon? Why have the defence force if it is useless? It is not useless the people in charge are. and that is only assuming the official story is correct. the truth is that they are not useless.

Too many in these forums will dismiss an opinion due to bad grammar, spelling or punctuation. It a shame these people are so narrow minded. Some genius' cannot talk or move properly let alone write. and by the way, You can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a Pig!

Let me take another angle on this. If the 911 story that has been released by the USA govornment is true... How incompetent and hopeless are the military leaders at thier Job. The FAA had taken all the appropriate measures to inform the appropriate authorities about the aircraft that had infringed the air law by turning off transponders and flying in a direction that is not manifested. How were these planes allowed to hit thier targets when the US military has several air bases in the regon that have aircraft that can fly at mach 2 and can be in the air within 5 minutes of recieving the command. That is some very sloppy work by the USA military. We'll let them away with the first strike but the second? and the pentagon? the pentagon is hit by a hijacked airplane 57minutes after the world trade centre is hit by the first plane? The pentagon is supposed to be in the most restricted airspace on the plannet but a 757 did a low level beat up and was allowed to slam into it? Either way the US leaders should have been removed, tried and penalised for their wrong doings or faliures to do what they are payed very well to do. This whole thing is an outrage.

Don't you mean, release all the information, video tapes and evidence that thet siezed within n=minutes of the vents to the american public as well as come clean about what is really was that hit the pentagon? I think you are dreaming. It is easier to kill thousands more people that are innocent, destroy economies and infrastructure and take the money and run... It is so hard for such a powerful military, so thourough and calculated to not capture 1 suspect. What a joke "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

USA missle attacks in Pakistan to counter terrorism on election day??
rhys replied to rhys's topic in Speakers Corner
http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080903/15-reportedly-killed-in-us-led-pakistan-attack.htm How is this apporach even close to an intellegent way of eradicating terrorism and determining what progress has been made? If you are all so good a shooting your guns then surely you don't have to blow up the whole neigborhood in order to, 'maybe' hit your target and not know for sure wheather or not you had hit it? (it being the terrorist leader) This world is so fucking idiotic. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix -
Restrict ammunition, make ammunition harder to get if you are not a legal gun owner, make the ammo very tracable and put the fucking price up on it. Eddie murphie did a great stand up piece on that subject. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

Why does the American election process take so F***ing long?
rhys replied to shropshire's topic in Speakers Corner
probably so the actual govornment can go ahead and tweak the system to its own advantage while everybody concentrates on the next potentials instead of them. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix -
Mine came from a book called 'the complete metalsmith'. It was my reference book when i was a jeweller a few years ago. At the bottom of most pages there are famous quotes. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

It depends on which canopy. i like to plan to be open at around or above 4000'. We use icarus canopies and some have been modified with longer brake lines, some at our DZ prefer this but i do not. if i have to use a super sniveler(modifird brake lines) i will pull as high as 6000' as they can take up to 2000 feet to open. These idiots giving you shit for pulling at a normal opening height, seem like they need to break a fimur or something to knock thier ego back into shape.

Personally i don't believe annual income has anything to do with being rich. Some people have all the meney in the world and are miserable and soem have nothing and are happy. But you do need money in our so called modern societies so for myself i would think that a combined income od $200k would make me rich. At present we are about $100k from commercial skydiving. we jump for a living and get to go overseas on holiday each year. we have it pretty good so i would call ourselves comfortable. To be rich for me is not the amount of money you have but what you can do with what you have. I don't desire an expensive car or a large house. I feel great that I could buy a $1000 electric skateboard that takes me to work, jumping out of planes all day. I would be less happy driving a flash car because the distance is short and the parking is a hassle. Not to mention worrying about someone sealing or damaging it. Some people however will never be happy, especially thise that have not had a taste of poverty. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

who would win a war between Russia vs USA if it started right now?
rhys replied to rhys's topic in Speakers Corner
And if you are trying to hold/defend north america without being attacked you woul fortify alaska/kamchatka, central america/venizuela and greenland/iceland with 10 -20 armies. if you then placed 20 armies on nothern or southern europe, the holder of asia would start to get worried! no one ever holds asia though do they "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix -
who would win a war between Russia vs USA if it started right now?
rhys replied to rhys's topic in Speakers Corner
Just wondering what you think? Personally I beleive the USA has spead itself pretty thin with the Iraq war and servicing circa 700 military bases around the world. Russia has some serious wealth these days and the US is treading on thin ice putting missile silos right next door in Poland and calling them Defence Missiles.

HI, My fiance jumps 7 cells in strong and sometimes turbulant conditions. She used to have a spectre but now she has an Icarus Omega, she now can continue jumping in stronger wind conditions than she could before. She used to be the first one to remove herself fom the list due to being only 100lbs, now she can jump and penetrate into the wind when the tandems are coming straight down. She is very experienced however and jumps a 99 sq/ft canopy She does say though that the difference between the spectre and the omega is huge when it comes to wind and turbs..... ...this should be the case a lighter wing loadings also. try an omega if you get the chance.

you can take your head out of your books, professor. we are talking about respect/service not heathcare. If you are a loud ass, demanding asshole but give big tips you will be likely to be treated well wherever you go, if not then you will not be treated well. Who said anything about being in distress or pregnant? We are talking about travelling, eating etc. etc. I am sure that in france if you are pregnant and in distress you will be helped very well, and you will probably not get a bill fir it at the end of your treatment either "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

so you would trat a french person with respect if they walked up to you in america and sarted aking questions in french? without the slightest hello ot excuse me? this is what we call respect, and without it, you don't get it.... unless you pay$$.

true, but nobody can patent it in any of the treaty countries now due to my, prior art. Not sure if I can take out individual patents in other countries, sure hope so. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

I believe the reason people have treated us so well is that We tried to speak french If a french, german, russian or any nationality came up to you and asked for directions in a foreign language in you home country.... you would not take it too well. It took me all of about 5 minutes to learn the basic hello an thank yous. maybe you deserved to be treated the way you were!

i couldn't afford it at the time and my time was running out. i am sitting on it so to speak, I cannot get the IPT patent anymore but New Zealand belongs to the treaty so no one else in the treaty countries can get it now. It cost me $2k for the NZ one and would have cost me $10k for the IPT so i simply couldn't afford it.

in the speed rounds at world championship level i have seen teams making spocks, vertical compresses accordians etc really fast but they can take a little longer getting the belly star, not that they can't do it, it just looks more akward than the more complicated tricks sometimes. That is not the case for most of the teams though, I think the world record will be broken at the world meet this year, some teams can make 20 points now.

I read it was a refibulator, he has a weak heart and has had frequent medical attention for it. His drooping left shoulder and left side of his mouth are also tell tale signs.... "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

The name of an awesome video/dvd of numerous so called extreme sports with soundtracks of top punk bands. I love that DVD "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

that is not true, thsat is why they have the preliminary application(very basic overview) once that is filed your priority date is from that time and you can contact experts in the field to see if it is worth pursuing, you will be safe from being scammed like the poor origonal poster. I have a patent for intergrated camera helmets of any shape or form. http://www.iponz.govt.nz/pls/web/DBSSITEN.main?p_access_no=4BE2F56281CC4CA355033A3A244A0DC1 The link wont take you through to the patent so type in the words 'camera system' in the patent search field, and click the 'Submit query' button. My name, Rhys Tristan Kempen. i am no expert in the field but had a good idea a few years ago, the preliminary application is there so you can make the patent public before the complete specification is filed.

When do/will you change your 350/300lb HMA lineset?
rhys replied to rhys's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
I saw a Velo that had snapped 6 lines on deployment yesterday, the opening was soft and the places seemed random where the lines had snapped, not on the end of the fingertrapps. the lines had around 300 jumps on them and were the first set from the factory.
