hey man, now I think about it - there's a guy who jumps out of perris in the states who has a tiger jumpsuit - bright orange and black stripes... if memory serves right he also had his shaved head tatooed with the same stripes... maybe you need to get over there and do a big cat 2-way

I'll be there for two weeks from this friday. And I might just come visit Borki while I'm over there.

I'm saving that photo. If anyone ever points to me and say my gear is colour co-ordinated I can show em your pick and say... "No it's not". Nicely done man... ps, am I gonna be able to see your gear in person at Kolomna these next two weeks?

hahaha - shhh, I don't let on... I just love the taste so much...

Er... move what's left of the plane... those firefighters need more practice... lots more practice...

That's not what I said. I said it was an unspoken goal. The fact that no one said it outloud is hardly inconsistent with that statement.

There's two very good amputee FF coaches in the UK called Swifty and Al. Both lost their legs during military service.

Isn't that what I said in the post above that one?

There's talk of these deals on this website so check here. Check the manufacturers website for their deals. Check any dealers websites - some of these may well have offers which are unique to them. I personally[/p] haven't head of a deal which beats the Aerodyne deal on, finacially speaking only of course. But then you might find better. Most

GWB reportedly wished to attack Iraq and take out SH. This in my opinion was a good goal but there was not the political justification for it when GWB came to power, or rather there was not the justification to do it and to remain in power. However, if the public were allowed to believe that SH had a hand in 9/11 there would be the justification required to abate national objection. It was therefore in the administrations best interests to allow this belief to go unchecked. They did nothing to stop the concept growing. If they did not want it to grow they could easily have stopped it by simply making a statement that SH did not have a hand in 9/11. Thus a willful decision to not prevent the spread of the concept in the minds of their electorate is evidence in itself that the idea suited the administration. Plus there's the fact that the speeches given at the time make a lot of use classic techniques to implant and foster this idea in the audiences head. Such techniques are not used by accident but for a reason. For example see this article: http://www.csmonitor.com/2003/0314/p02s01-woiq.html At the end of the day though - this is merely my belief. As I'm neither running a country nor entering a wager I need not adduce any evidence to back up my beliefs, it is sufficient that I alone am secure in their origin.

The goal of the administration at the time was to have the public believe that a link to AQ = a link to 9/11. That was achieved without actually having to tell the public that there was a link. Look at the polls taken at the time - a majority of the American public actually believed that SH himself was behind 9/11. I've said it before - GWB's greatest feat was convincing the US public that SH was behind 9/11. It was very well done. BTW, the wager referenced "substantial further evidence". The wager didn't require proof, only "substantial further evidence". Credibility and weight go to substance.

Exactly - there were other reasons given by some for the war beyond the possession of WMD. Anther reason was the claim that Iraq somehow had some connection with 9/11. It is just such a claim that this thread references. Rhino said there would be clear evidence of a link and if there was not he would cough up. Beyond a very small hint of some connection by our front man in Iraq, Allawi; backed up with absolutely no evidence but his claim that according to Iraqi security services a member of Al-Qaeda once visited an international summit that was held in Iraq. Now if you want to rely on the hearsay reiteration of evidence from a questionable source by an interested party that doesn't actually show anything in the first place, go ahead... but really... it's far from being of capable of description as "real and credible" by anybody but the most inept... and we all know what happened last time people tried to rely on "real and credible" information don't we.

An eye for an eye one might say.

From the latin "parare" (to prepare for) and the french word "chute" meaning a fall. Thus its something you use to prepare for a fall. Some French bloke I'd have to look up coined it 100 years or so ago.

1) who's giving the UN satellite images? / since when did they have their own satellites? 2) I don't see any contradiction there.

I did initially wonder why the prosecution was not going down the joint enterprise route which would effectively see them both found guilty of the rape irrespective of who actually committed the act... but it looks like they gave the driver a plea bargain in order to secure his testimony against his brother.

My only comment would be... um... ask these questions before you jump a canopy.

quicker to take a wrap of the break line

Read the SIM. Listen. Smile.

Know the firm. Read their website inside out and check for referrences to them in the papers. When they ask you a question and you answer a good tactic as an interviewer is to call your answer into question. Stick to your guns and don't let the sway you into thinking you got it wrong, instead explain why you're right. (of course it helps if you got the answer right in the first place).

If you do decide to make the project more complicated I've modified my idea to make it more simple. Go with three blocks and lay them out like the wings on an F14. Central block stays in the same position (body). Two smaller blocks can be in either a swept back position or stuck out from the sides at an angle. You could probably even find data on and/or an explanation of the theory behind the F14 wings and apply it to the data you have regarding a tracking/atmonauti skydiver... if you were to make it more complicated of course.

Main canopies are not TSO'ed; H/C systems are. Getting a TSO is a huge expense that has to be recouped.

hmmm... you're right... what about if we take into account court time, prosectuion time, police time and jail time plus the costs of their re-offending?

Yes its a malfunction... but I wouldn't chop and didn't when I had a very similar problem. Tension knot left break line. Used half breaks on right toggle to fly back to DZ and landed from half breaks with a flare and PLF. Happened at about jump 90 something and on my first jump on a 170 after jumping a 190 for 70 jumps (just demoing not changing canopies).

A spark plug fitted inside the petrol tank would be much cheaper than a tracking device.
