Besides, France's turning its back on us despite our help through TWO MORE WORLD WARS does a hell of a lot to counter the aid they've rendered in the past*** 1914/1915/1916/1939/1940/(most of) 1941... I guess what (did not happen in) 2003 makes up for it... short term memory selective memory does wonders... Wanna call it even?

You can find many that are like the old recipe though fo less than $700. One thing I look for is no artificial coloring, the green should come from chloraphyl(sp?)*** Very good point. There are may still made the original way. But there are too many places (and people) who think you should drink it straight up. Might as well drink paint thinner... Get the real thing, drink it the way it is supposed to be served...

Be careful with that stuff it looks kinda dangerous.. *** Is that a promise or a threat? It can be if you abuse it, like many things. But in the right dosage...

within the first 24 hours our cruise missiles and gps guided bombs from stealth planes would immobilize their entire defense structure.. Air, Radar, Missile Defense, EVERYTHING... *** Agreed. the air campaign would be the (fairly) easy part. The ground campaign though would make it an un-winnable war. Maybe not losable, but un-winnable.

Yes, yes, yes, you are right. I totally agree with you. However, IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, he followed what he had been taught to do IN THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION to the letter. As he stated, he felt that waiting any longer would/could have made things worse for him, and that is why he pulled. Correct. However, it is not far from suggesting "hey, you had plenty of altitude to keep trying to fix that line over". I agree with most of what you have posted so far, but I do have a problem with in this particular case. I am not trying to flame you or anyone, and my apologies if it came across that way. The good thing is that he has a video he can review with his instructor to be told how to fix the spinning problem.

But if the cutaway pouch was partially pulled, do you need to worry about one riser being just a bump away from detachment? How do you verify that it is again securely stowed?*** 1/ I checked that the handle had not been pulled down 2/ I checked that the cables were still in their riser housings 3/ I re-stowed the cut away handle If I would have had ANY doubt, I would have chopped "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return." -
He was in no danger of passing out, watch some Airspeed vids and see how fast you can rotate without incident.*** once again, onle HE knew how it felt at the time. And if he was taught to dump if unstable for over 5 seconds, then he did what he was taught. It doesn't mean he couldn't/wouldn't have recovered. It just means that he did what he felt (and was taught) was the right thing to do under the circumstances. I know there are many videos showing extreme behavior, but you will find some at both end of the spectrum. And I have absolutely nothing against people expressing their opinions, but jumpers with our (huge) numbers of jumps giving advices to other jumpers can be quite hazardous.

Would that mean the US Army should invade Long Beach?*** Well, the US Navy has already invaded the San Diego bay, so you never know... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

even exiting at 12k you still had at least 25-30 seconds to try and stop your spin. Guys, In this case, only his instructor can really tell him what he did right or wrong. There has been cases of students losing consciousness due to a spin. Maybe the instructor expected him to pull when he got into such a severe spin, and steered clear of him. But that's only speculation. I was taught to dump if out of control for 5 secs. Talk to your instructor.

They may well have their own "plan for a new communist century".*** Highly doubtful under today's Chinese government. Some sectors of the Chinese economy are demonstrating level of capitalism that I believe few outsiders would expect from China. Although China probably enjoys its status in the international scene as NK's big brother, it is becoming more and more a thorn in its thigh. Ideologically speaking, China and NK are quite far apart, and drifting further apart every year.
