makes a lot more sense than bombing the place, like some people (won't say any names) like to do. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

GM were Farking stupid doing what they did with that car, they could be leading the world in that technology but they decided their oil stocks (that is an assumption)were worth more?

Skydiving in Sweden - Aros, Gryttjom or Nyköping?
rhys replied to degeneration's topic in Events & Places to Jump
It is at first, then you realise that no one really cares about it at all, you can wear a towl in the sauna, nobody will say anything but you feel like the odd one out. i was suprised when iwas having a shower, i rinsed the shampoo out of my mair and opened my eyes to see a big breasted swedish girl soaping herself up next to me!!! i was too embaressed to crack a phat so not too much of a worry You'll have a good time there and have some quality jumps.

I have also been to Gryttjom and not the other but i do suggest gryttyom. The bunk house is free(was when I was there) if you become a member which is worth while if you are going to do any significant amount of jumps. the staff are cool, the food is good and healthy, the sauna is nice, and it doesn't get dark until midnight!! You basicall don't have to leave the DZ! Warning!! if you are shy, be prepared for mixed showers and sauna. You will be the odd one out in the sauna if you wear any garments. It took me a couple of days to get used to that but it feels quite natuaral after a while. oh the 2 twin turbunes are a bonus too.

I am not american but I believe that offshore drilling need not be a problem. The main thing is that sufficient money is put into making sure the setup is least likely to pollute the surrounding area. submergable platforms etc would be a good idea.

Africa is giving nothing to anyone -- apart from AIDS

Going back to the OP. Cell phones(essential minerals used in electronics), diamonds(and other precious stones), copper, tourism and Human life from the very beginning are all things africa gives the rest of the world. the title to this thread is really incorrect.

I (we) used to carry on our rig/s. Until august 2006 when some idiot tried to blow up a plane with liquid explosives. Since then we have had nothing but trouble, almost missed a flight due to this. I would suggest checking you rig if you are on a tight schedule or have little time between connecting flights. It really comes down to the opinion of the person you are dealing with at the time, it is incredible what comes out of some whuffo's mouths!

Advertise it with the option of cypres or no cypres. let the buyer decide. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

The fact that these states want to ban such guns, is proof that not all american think the second ammendment is a good idea. the speakers corner is usually filled with gun tot'n folk that aint got nuthin better to do than shoot some thunder sticks for some good ol fashin fun. so the poll will not reflect the real opinion of all americans.

It is a sensitive subject, if the aid stops then people will die, but some of this aid is making more problems than it is solving. any sigificant amount of money (millions of dollars) more often ends up in the wrong hands. i have personally witnessed volunteers from USA, Canada, england etc. come over to africa, get thrown in a classroom with 100 kids that don't speak english while they don't speak the native tounge either. they stay for 3 weeks spend over $10,000 doing so and all the kids endup with is confusion. The amount of monry that goes into aid is not the same as what is being spent on the people there. Companies are formed purely to tap into the aid money that people give to make themselves feel better. is aid supposed to help the africans or make the donors feel better about themselves? The situation is fucked up. Meanwhile the vast amount of natural recources are being raped while the locals starve and work (hard)for less then $2 per day. are the people to blame for that? where should the money from these recources go? to the locals or foreign stock exchanges?

Try the 'salutes to the sun' these are yoga positions. I do those when i feel stiff and they do not take up too much time or energy. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

just becasue you don't understand something, you shouldn't bash it. Some of the worlds best freelyers frequently engage in atmo jumps. Maybe try giving it a go before you try so hard to bash it. maybe then you will realise it is a nice way to fly.

I'm not, in alot of cases they are worthless pieces of shit, all they care about is themselves and thier brand new Toyota landcruizers. They would not have thier brand new landcruizers if they weren't being paid off by foreign corporations. If you have spent any amount of time in Africa? as i have, you will come to realise there is not much of an option for the leaders there, than to continue the corruption. if they do not they will most likely be thrown out on the street and set alight with parafin oil.

While the western world continues to pay off corrupt african leaders to rape them of thier diamonds, oil, metals and other valuable commodities. The west is really to blame here. If some real action was taken to stop the corruption, and Africa's recources were used to develop education, health and infrastructure, then african nations would be amoung the most wealthy in the world. Many of these countries are supposed to be socialist countries but the people get nothing. There is a strange belief in southern africa that having sexual intercourse with a virgin will cure an AIDS patient. You can see how education might have a positive effect on the place but education is not happening?

That is a shitload of murders, Many of them probably not with guns, many with. that is too many murders. How does the ownership of semi automatic pistols reduce this figure? banning the ownership of semi automatic pistols would reduce this fugure because there would be less concealable guns available.

It is not that hard to shoot someone when you are stood in front of them. If you think that pulling a gun on someone that already has a gun pointed at you is going to save you more than obeying thier commands, then when you are confronted, you will be a dead man! if they were going to shoot you anyway, then you are already dead. Most likely they want your money or valuables so they can buy thier next hit of crack! "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

If someone pulls a gun out at me will do what they say, if i were to have a gun and present it, i would think my chances of being killed would become a lot higher. having a gun for defence is more likeley to get you killed than not having one.

A situation where you would have to use a gun! In my 33 years of living I have never been close to needing a gun, If you live in constant fear of needing to use one..... you live in the wrong place.

The recall is not a joke! a good friend of mine had his cypres pop at 1000' and ended up landing with two out. he was on a tandem but imaging he was swooping?? send your unit back and have it serviced! don't make another jump with t in, it could cost you your life! "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

It depends what you want, in my opinion and i'm sure anyone that swoops. is that the crossfire is by far the superior canopy, it has superior openings and a nice recovery arch. The stilletto has firm openings and a short recovery arch. If you intend on swooping then the crossfire is a safer choice, the longer recovery arch allows more margin for error. if you see people swooping stilettos, it is more often scary to watch. the silletto is overly elliptical IMHO and become too twitchy. Jump them both a few times and choose for yourself, make sure you jump similar sizes though to get a good comparison.
