    This is a technical forum. The poll belongs in GS or S & T.

    Duh. First you say, "you're alright girl, you're alright." Then you climb on ones back and run across them like an Aussie sheep dog to the shore. Really dude that should have been obvious.

    I'm sure they would, but she is famous, so they know it would be a PR disaster. Really? Was it a PR disaster when they killed Bhutto? How about when they killed the only Christian legislator? The forces of repression would consider it a PR coup.

    Well, it did have a watermark.

    Can you tell us what kind and size the canopy was? Approx what weight? I am a little concerned about a student canopy going up on a normal flare. Was he perhaps in recovery from a higher flare?
  6. Andrewwhyte
    You have 50 or more jumps and you cannot do better than a 90% stand up rate? Get a better canopy. Landing is not supposed to hurt. All those slightly rough landings will add up. Trust me I know.

    Good luck finding a DZ that is open. You might email Tim at Niagara Skydive Centre as he has a paved runway. If you cannot complete PFF for under 2000 you are doing it wrong.

    Nice! Thanks for that.

    While taking another 5% of the national income is perhaps a bit much, I think you are dreaming if you think there is a way out of this without the federal share of the economic pie rising to some extent

    What's wrong with an X210? I did my first CRW with one of those. Fine canopy.

    I believe Skydive Toronto Inc. Uses FXCs on the main for their student rigs for SL progression. I am not sure if they do for AFF.

    Suck it up and drink your coffee black for a month. You will wonder how you took it any other way. I did this twenty-five years ago when my father developed type 2 diabetes. Today if I take a drink of sweetened coffee by mistake it is hard not to spew it across the room. It helps if you drink good quality coffee.

    Ron Paul wants to institute a Value Added Tax. I think this is perhaps the best tool Congress has to tackle the problem (that and about a 25% reduction in the defense budget). A VAT has several attributes that make it a good idea: 1. It is a flat tax. Spend a buck, throw a nickle in the middle, no exceptions. It does not distort the economy by picking winners and losers. 2. It is taxed when you consume, not when you invest. American individuals need to reign in personal spending while keeping the productive engine flowing. 2. Exports are exempt. America needs to start producing more than they consume to reduce their dependence on rivals picking up their bonds. This is a weakness that eclipses any military threat. Canada's GST (VAT) is 5%. Most provinces add to that, but that is the Fed's take. If US set theirs there it would not give an advantage to Canada. It would still be lower than every (I think) European country as well as Australia and NZ.

    For those who voted no: Would you prefer to be a prostitute rather than unemployed? How about your daughter or son?

    The DZO will relent probably because he knows that in Ontario the policy is not legal.

    The point is to have a lower crime rate. Rehabilitation, deterrence and protection of society all have a part to play, as does cost. Punishment, other than its role in deterrence, has no value worth pursuing.

    The rebels are irregular, do not wear uniforms, and when faced with defeat melt back into the population. Are they not terrorists under the US military's definition?

    Last I heard they were jumping a Cessna 402. It is a stunning view and Johnny and Jessica are fantastic people. It is a Tandem business though so don't expect a lot in terms of volume or fun jumpers. the local scene is a bit busy on Sunday. You need 500 jumps and to be current to jump there as there is no real designated DZ. The place we aimed for was not exclusive to us so your accuracy skills need to be good as your target can shift due to people on the ground.

    Yes, I think it is broken. I checked my bet with Gawain just yesterday. I won't have lost until the end of next year, but I do consider him to have failed on this file.

    Looks to me like the real time aspect does have the potential for security risks. Requests to keep the info confidential after the flight terminates could be treated differently.

    This video contains content from National Geographic, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds. Sorry about that.

    I know I have asked you this before, but why do you insist on referencing the FAA and American Law to people who do not live within their jurisdiction?

    What's the big deal? Just someone needs to tell the lefties that they will have to buy a gun to make them work.
