  1. Can HOA's be imposed upon landowners or do they have to be set up during the initial subdivision?
  2. I've done 16 tandems out of a Cessna. Damn right I was tired. I only packed a couple of them.
  3. If you have been away for 2 years I would recommend you conduct 100 or so jumps before thinking about a tandem rating.
  4. Maintenance Operator error Packing Body position Packing Packing Packing Operator Error Body position Packing Packing
  5. We get $17.00 A local (Alberta) competitor pays $20.00 Other locals pay $10.00
  6. As I understood the theory behind chopping a round main it was to avoid entanglement with the reserve pilot chute. Pilot chuteless "pull and punch" reserves did not require a cutaway. Once both canopies are deployed there would be no point to cutting away.
  7. 6000 Ft. I have done so with an informed student rather than land. 7500ft is the lowest intended altitude I will board the plane for.
  8. OR,.... It could just be that he is an old guy and that's what happens to old guys. Nawww, you're right. Jebus is punishing him for not doing his homework correctly. Because he loves him.
  9. If Luongo serves up another goose egg he may well get the Con Smythe. 5 shut-outs in the playoffs and 3 in the finals is pretty "most valuable" regardless how bad he stunk in the lossses.
  10. Probably take a bit of the experienced market from the smaller tunnel in Vancouver. However as Rob said the clientele is almost exclusively whuffo. Maybe it will push the large block prices down a bit though.
  11. I watched a doc on the doomsday preparedness industry. Judging by the size of these guys' profits I'd say yes, there are a significant number of people who believe. I've heard a couple of people mention it. The sort of people who read their horoscope. I think they believe in a Unitarian kind of way,...lets do a chant now.
  12. Sheeeittt, we'all got moskitas that size flyin' 'round here this time of year.
  13. After ~4000 jumps and 12 years my Z1 face shield closing tab has broken. I will buy another Z1.
  14. Well I certainly think it is. The interesting thing here is that so, apparently did the great Protestant himself. Not quite sure what process led him to re-think (re-unquestioningly-believe?) the doctrine of Rome.
  15. What would really suck is if the anti-folks in the anti-universe are ahead (behind) us on the whole "power through annihilation" thing. All the matter will start disappearing but we won't be the ones utilising the energy.
  16. "Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has; it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but more frequently than not struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God." "Whoever wants to be a Christian should tear the eyes out of his reason." -Martin Luther
  17. You need to seriously reconsider this one. Why? I like to be amused. Oh, I forgot. There is no humor in the liberal side. Sigh. I remember when rational thought was the purview of conservatives. Men like George Schultz and Howard Baker; Kissinger and Eisenhower.
  18. Yes it maters. Ask them why they did these things. The answers may be more illuminating than the acts.
  19. Nope. He's been wearing them since Christ was a cowboy.
  20. The idea of Karma as a positive feedback loop within one lifetime has little to do with Buddhism or Hinduism and more to do with John Lennon. Those who believe in Karma as espoused by the Bhagavad Gita understand that Paris Hilton is rich because she deserves it due to her behavior in past lives. The same is true for the starving children of the world and those sold into the child sex trade. edited for spelling.
  21. Has the student demonstrated a stable solo exit? Has the student demonstrated an unassisted recovery from an unstable position? Have they demonstrated a stable deployment unlinked from their instructor? If so I see no problem; if not, then not. Edited to add: Correction- they should have demonstrated the stable unassisted exit twice consecutively.
  22. Oh but that is only for that particular group of Christians, who are not really the same as orthodox Christians (Jaybirds words). "We're the People's Popular Front of Judea."
  23. 1st degree? I am not so sure about that. Admittedly the decision was made when he went for the other gun, but is that not part of the entire event. If that was premeditated then isn't the space between 3rd degree (manslaughter) and 1st degree getting a bit thin?
