Found another copy: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/film-news/8549663/The-Girl-with-the-Dragon-Tattoo-Hollywood-trailer-leaked.html I really love the Trent Reznor Immigrant Song cover. Owned by Remi #?

Pubs around here were advertising Bin Ladin shots about 3 and a half minutes after the press release. Nobody behind the bar asking "what's that" Owned by Remi #?

Jeez. I finally get it. I thought you were saying that the trailer made your arse leak. I couldn't figure out if that was good or bad. About 5 minutes after I watched it, YouTube removed it. I'm glad I got in before the lock. Owned by Remi #?

Great skydive! Owned by Remi #?

WTF does that mean? I'm impressed and encouraged by the trailer, but really, really loved the originals and Noomi Rapace. Owned by Remi #?

I think you're right. The guy who posted the video commented that at 12 minutes he's pretty sure you see the same maneuver from the previous day and there's no break away like the one at 24 minutes. Owned by Remi #?

And I agree with you about that. I do not agree with you that a no-knock warrant was the problem here. It seems more likely that the problem isn't with the nature of the warrant but with the behavior of the police. Owned by Remi #?

If I'm reading the article correctly, the police didn't have a no-knock warrant: Owned by Remi #?

when is a hook knife required these days?
labrys replied to mixedup's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I've used the butt end of a hook knife to coax that little Velcro strap on a factory diver out of its channel when it retracted into it's little slot by accident. I've also used one to trim the excess from a closing loop and trim worn fabric and loose threads from my booties. I still make sure it's where I expect it to be every jump though. Just in case I want to stay occupied when there's little or nothing else I can do to be productive. Owned by Remi #? -
No to cutting the other steering line or no to landing with rears? Why would it be necessary to cut the other steering line anyway? Why not just release the brake? Owned by Remi #?
-
The question was about a reserve. I assumed that cutting a reserve away wasn't an option. Owned by Remi #?

I wouldn't be comfortable mixing riders and toggles. It seems like a silly idea to me, but perhaps someone will convince me otherwise. ...seems too easy to do it asymmetrically and risk a rougher than necessary landing. Owned by Remi #?

Why are skydiving helmets so ridiculously, unreasonably expensive?!
labrys replied to bertusgeert's topic in The Bonfire
My 5 year old Z1 looks like someone towed it behind a car racing down a gravel road... but I only remember where 1 or 2 of the more significant scuffs were earned. Owned by Remi #? -
Skydiving Discipline Progression Question
labrys replied to Stearny's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Not trying to be captain obvious here, but the only way to excel at all disciplines is to practice hard at all disciplines. If you are really dynamic in both physical skills and mental focus you might be able to switch back and forth between styles and make forward progress. If you're a normal human being you might be better off making an adult commitment to focus on one thing at a time. Owned by Remi #? -
Check the "About" link on the site you posted: "Oh, and if you believe me about all this… joke is on you. I don’t actually believe any of this, but sure have had some fun pulling your chain." Owned by Remi #?

That third prong isn't as much about not burning down the house as it is intended to prevent you from turning your cojones into nicely roasted chestnuts while you're using anything plugged in without a ground. What's your comfort level? Owned by Remi #?

The link 2 posts up has the answer in it. Owned by Remi #?

Does look like it, but I'm no expert. The language sounds like Eastern Europe? I have no idea how old it is or where it is or what the circumstances are, but that student is getting a pretty heavy handed technique. Owned by Remi #?

Are you using an iPhone or iPad? If so, try the 99 cent Skyfire browser from the store. It plays flash video. Owned by Remi #?

Hmm. Workee for me. Owned by Remi #?

Letter from the Head of the FAA (May Parachutist)
labrys replied to catfishhunter's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
That's also what I meant. I want to add to this. I think we've had a rash of incidents that involved varying levels of negligence. We don't have rules in place to define those deemed responsible as criminals or murderers and I think using that term is a little over the top. We have had some actual murders but I know that's not what you are talking about. Our fatalities per number of jumps has decreased over the years. That's mostly because gear and training have improved over the years. What's left in the filter is attitude (what IMO he's calling professionalism) Owned by Remi #?
