My mother has been suffering from Trigeminal Neuralgia for many years and a couple brain surgeries have not fixed it. I have done some studying on it, it is universally considered to be one of the most painful afflictions known to adult men and women and the suicide rate amongst TN patients is high I have not learned of anyone being put into a coma by it - but that does not mean it is not possible. I suffer from CNS (http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/central_pain/central_pain.htm) as a by-product of a very large spinal tumor and it is quite debilitating. Have not slept in 3 days, pain meds are useless and I am envious of the dead today - wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy, it sux. Some good info on TN here: http://www.tna-support.org/ - Mykel AFF-I10 Skydiving Priorities: 1) Open Canopy. 2) Land Safely. 3) Don’t hurt anyone. 4) Repeat…

I’ve been ribbed about jumping a “student canopy” (Stiletto 135 at a 1.7WL) by my colleagues. Probably because I am very proficient on this wing, have flown some 100ish canopies quite fine and capable of safely downsizing to just about anything I want. But at the end of the day, I can make really long swoops on the Stiletto 135, can put it down in a very tight landing area when the chips are down, make really low avoidance flat turns safely etcetera - and bottom line is I have plenty of fun where I am at. I do not see giving up the little extra margin of safety to go a little faster, make a little longer of a swoop or to be cool. There have been times where I have been appreciative of that small, extra margin of safety. So, I’ll just keep flying my “student canopy”… - Edit to add: Stating the size of your canopy is only one piece of the information and does not tell the whole story without stating the WL as well. A 220 can still be loaded heavily (yes, smaller lines on the smaller canopies etc) but still gives a more complete picture stating your WL)...

Apocalypse Now "Great, and for this I get my ears pierced"

Why are Jewish people called "God's chosen people"? They don't believe in John 3:16, so "God's chosen people" will not be in the afterlife? (Sorry, I have way more question than answers)

Okay, here ya go!

>> Jesus was born and testified of God, saying, I and my Father are one. Then what does he mean by saying “Son of Man”?

Here is a link to the Skydivers Information Manual at the USPA website, it will tell you everything you want to know about the licensing under the USPA guidelines. I believe you can also download it as a PDF file, easy to preform searches and find answers quickly. http://uspa.org/publications/SIM/2007SIM/SIM.htm Mykel AFF-I10 Skydiving Priorities: 1) Open Canopy. 2) Land Safely. 3) Don’t hurt anyone. 4) Repeat…

**************************************** I am curious, you are knowledgeable and this is a sincere inquiry... Is the Koran, Torah or are there other religious books that could have possibly been directed by God? Reason I am asking is that I have met other seemingly intelligent individuals from different religious beliefs who accept as true that the doctrines they subscribe to as being inspired by God were, well, as you said – “He is a perfect God, and HE would direct and write nothing less than a perfect Book.” They believe it about the texts they subscribe as much as you seem to, they seem to be good people and true to their belief systems. I only started seriously reading the Bible a few years back and there is a lot I don’t really understand (trying to get a grasp of it) – but is it possible that God, being all powerful and knowledgeable that he would have been able to figure the nature of mankind and knew we would divide into tribes and all that stuff that he might have sent his message in different formats in order to spread his message to the varying cultures and religions throughout the ages of mankind? There just seems to be (in my limited understanding) many similarities between different belief systems. I guess I do not understand why there is so much division and why many seem to believe that the notions they subscribe to are the correct ones and everyone outside of their box is incorrect. They seem to believe it so sincerely that they will hold on to their beliefs to the end. I do feel, ummm, silly in a sense that I am sitting here trying to figure out and understand a being whose existence, power and knowledge is incomprehensible to me. - Mykel AFF-I10 Skydiving Priorities: 1) Open Canopy. 2) Land Safely. 3) Don’t hurt anyone. 4) Repeat…

ANYTHING Country!!!

It also relies on your belief system.. It also relies on your belief system??? I don't understand...

That would be sooooo cool... But it is Saddam, he is going to be ressur-errected!

"a 4-inch wave hit Nemuro in northeastern Japan " 4 inches? Don't know much about waves - is that big?

Some conflicting/confusing information about your WL to clarify: 175 exit weight, means you weigh around 150 lbs? W.L. on the 288 is .61 (rounded up) WL on the 210 is .83 Your profile lists a Saber 170 which would have a WL of 1.03 So do you mean you are currently jumping the 1.03 WL on a Saber 170? ****************** As for the left handed container, Terry tells a pretty interesting story and brings up some good points to consider as well. The one person I knew that had a left handed throw-out had a physical impairment necessitating the custom job - I do not know any left handers with a setup like that and since you have been jumping the student gear I can only assume you do not have any physical reason you cannot throw from the right? - Mykel AFF-I10 Skydiving Priorities: 1) Open Canopy. 2) Land Safely. 3) Don’t hurt anyone. 4) Repeat…

"These papers do not odour or interfere with the characteristics of the tobacco and herb material wrapped within." Herb material? Like Chamomile? Sounds very neato - what will they think of next?

Done - sorry...

This is not unheard of. Not everyone has full use of all of their appendages. Right, correct - but I have only known one person that had to use one so far so to me it is rare, was curious why and if the student gear was retrofitted.

I need a left-handed container??? Mykel AFF-I10 Skydiving Priorities: 1) Open Canopy. 2) Land Safely. 3) Don’t hurt anyone. 4) Repeat…

Guess that means I'm goin' to Hell.

Hope not, I like Walt... Mykel AFF-I10 Skydiving Priorities: 1) Open Canopy. 2) Land Safely. 3) Don’t hurt anyone. 4) Repeat…
