None of this takes into account how bad your team really is; They suck!

Like Bigway said, relax. If you are stiff, any imperfection you have in your body symmetry will make you want to spin like an air hockey puck. If you take a big breath and go almost limp while you exhale, the rotation will dampen out. Have fun.

Would those Americans who decline to help make the decisions kindly refrain from commenting on those who do for the next two years when you will be once again given the opportunity to sit with the adults.

Buy in the US, pick it up en route and avoid the duty in both countries.

It takes more than a good jumper to make a good instructor. Personally I think you should take the coach course and then spend a season doing nothing but coaching. When you are an accomplished coach, then you should think about becoming an AFF instructor. Depending on what kind of aircraft you have, an AFF jump contains between thirty-five and sixty seconds of freefall; if you have to think about what your move should be in response to your student's actions are, you have just wasted their money. While it is more problematic to be wooden and halting in your flying, being hesitant and stilted in your skill assessment and corrective communication is also a disservice to your student.

An entirely Eurocentric definition of the start of WW2, one with which I doubt many Chinese or Koreans would agree. While the Germans and Japanese were invading their neighbours before that, the conflict developed global dimensions during 1939. (See Wikapedia 'World War.')

Nyeah, nyeah Terrorist supporting evil doer!

Although the Fenians did shamelessly accept arms from the Germans during the first world war, many more Irishmen fought and died with the side of democracy in that conflict. None of your countrymen fought to defend my country during World War Two, Canada was not attacked (see above discussion re sharing a monarch despite being independent countries). Before you get too far off on your high horse lets remember that WWII started in 1939; the US entered the war because they were attacked, not because of any sense of right and wrong.

No! As I said above, we pay no tribute to a foreign government. It just so happens that our Queen is also the Queen of Australia, Northern Ireland, New Zealand, The Isle of Mann, Scotland, Whales, Jersey, Guernsey, The Falklands, oh, and England too. Such is Her Highness and Majesty. In order to appreciate why we want this to remain so you must realise the value of the gradual constitution that is our mutual heritage (yes even you runaway Yankees). The Magna Carta had nothing in it for the common man, but it is the wellspring from which our modern democracies rise. The rights contained in the American and Canadian constitutions are those which were developed within the British Monarchical system. The English common law remains the bedrock upon which both Canadian and American (and Australian, and New Zealand, and South African, and Indian, and,...) civil law are based. when the native North American people resort to the courts the usually refer to the Proclamation of 1763. Our Constitution consists of many documents prior to the Constitution Act of 1981. That was just the first one which was not an act of a foreign government. It was however signed by our beloved Monarch. In a society where immigrants are changing our culture rapidly; where newcomers are hard put to find the base culture to adapt to, our allegiance to our past in a symbolic crown recognises what we agree with in our past, but also recognises what we have in common with a majority of our immigrants (Hong Kong, India, Pakistan). When the thirteen colonies rebelled in the eighteenth century it was not an accident that the northern colonies did not join them. We chose to be loyal to the crown. We remain loyal to the crown.

We are certainly a sovereign nation. We neither pay nor owe allegiance to the government of UK. They seem OK with that, although the same cannot be said of your village idiot and his White House staffers. Our queen is so majestic that She is also queen of many other lands. This does not bother us. That you damm Yanks continue to support the terrorist Fenians as you have been doing for almost two hundred years does not surprise me.

Maybe a "spend not one red cent in town" campaign at the Christmas boogie is in order.

Transfer his Fenian ass to Afghanistan. It is obvious that his first loyalty is to Ireland and not to Canada or Her Majesty.

I don't think he is a Canadian or he would not have been arrested at the border. He is a permanent resident US citizen. The Canadian government will no doubt reevaluate his eligibility to stay in Canada in light of his criminal behavior. What irks me the most about this situation is that he is not allowed back in the US except to visit his parole officer. The Canadian Supreme Court would never allow this kind of restriction to be placed upon a Canadian. The first article of our constitution guarantees our right to enter and be in Canada. I would be very surprised if that kind of restriction would get past the SCOTUS.

Maybe Coolege will pay him to relocate there.

Those who do poorly in these types of rankings always say that. If you look at the criteria used, however, I think that this particular snapshot is in fact a useful if not definitive look at how schools are doing at their prime function; teaching children. Likely one of the main reasons California did poorly is a higher than average English Second Language pupils.

Hello Dylan, My name is Andrew and I'm one of the owners just up the road at Alberta Skydivers in Beiseker. We are still open for a couple of weeks so you should try to come up either this weekend or next and have a look around. Any of the jumpers will be happy to let you buttonhole them about these topics as well as any you haven't thought of yet. Andrew Whyte Alberta Skydivers

I had a total with a drogue in tow and a vicious spin. I dumped my reserve into the drogue. The bridle got wound up in my line twists, but otherwise the deployment was fine. It scared the shit out of me when I first looked up, and I wouldn't want to make a habit out of it, but it convinced me that the two are not incompatible.

What does that sentence mean?

When the camaraman lands out one of his brothers should get the landing shot. I've seen that done lots.

There's great curry in Seatle; try the U-district.

Listen to Bob Dylan's version. It's more of a spoken word style. No disrespect to Cash or his version but the lamenting whine of Dylan with the gospel singers keening in the background will bring tears to your eyes.

Is that the estimated actual population or the legal population I wonder?

Is that pure principle or are you applying an interest rate/rate of time preference?

'General opinion' about charging for coaching tends to come from people who do something else for a living. when I learned to skydive nobody ever charged for coaching, and generally I got my money's worth. There were no coaching programs, Rob Laidlaw hadn't laid out for all to see what was actually required to teach an athlete a skill in a skydiving setting. Coaching meant there was no one more senior to do a 2-way with so I got to jump with the 'skygod' (who had about 100 jumps). Skydives are expensive and so are coaching courses. Coaches deserve to be paid for their work. That said when a novice pays slot plus X for a coach jump "Breath Dude" is not a sufficient debrief. I you hire a professional you have the right to expect professional service.
