  1. and they get up and go to work, just like theyre told, every day, right on time, dont question anything just do your job and shut you mouth. i like how you equate ones current residence w/ amount of knowledge yeah. like noam chomsky.... mit professor, total whacko right? this shit fucking disgusts me. people who are so goddam colsed minded disgust me... sometimes this whole fucking country disgusts me.... people say bush is dumb... they are wrong...
  2. so let me get this straight.... (this is addressed to those who have already written this off as "total bullshit" or have assumed im "in a rental apartment, watching tv") video aside... (again i raised the quesitons 4 years ago..) you belive that a fucking jetliner can vaporize? as in totally disappear... because that was the official explanation from our government...
  3. pretty close actually....( i thought anyway...) on a side note, that building looks very familiar.. any more info ?
  4. sounds about right to me.... many of the facts presented i brought up 5years ago it saddens me to think of the current state of affairs, and how some are so blind to it all.... we are sheep and it may already be too late. whats next? nuclear war? who are the terrorists here.? we can only walk on the other peoples of the world for so long , without repercussion one day, it will all blow up in our face, and those responsible, will already be gone.. it soothes me however, knowing that there is a special seat in hell for mr.bush, and everyone gets what coming to them in the end...
  5. well replace nixon w/clinton,and that settles that...
  6. without a main, actually....
  7. just wanted to repeat that...
  8. i once did a high tower jump, (#3)with a serious tailwind, and a no-go tree line a short distace away at 0degrees... i pitched while intentionally dipping way right, and opened directly into the wind... i believe the wind direction was as much a factor in the opening heading as well as the shoulder however...
  9. matt: pain pills, hot nurses and sponge baths... you really are living the dream..

  13. Paraglider crashes at local park Local man listed in critical condition with head injuries By Christine Reid, Camera Staff Writer February 7, 2006 A paraglider is in critical condition with head injuries after crashing Monday morning at Wonderland Lake. Matthew Hecker, 21, of Boulder, fell just after 9 a.m. about 50 feet out of the air with such force that it "popped" his helmet off when he struck the ground, according to a witness. Hecker was taken by ambulance to Boulder Community Hospital before being airlifted to Denver Health Medical Center, where he was listed in critical condition late Monday afternoon. Hecker's friend, Alex Gilmer, told rescue officials he watched as Hecker took off from the popular paragliding spot in north Boulder. Gilmer reported hearing the yellow canopy "crackle" as Hecker's chute folded and collapsed. Gilmer called 911 from his cellular phone. "He thinks the canopy might have hit the ground first," said Dave Booton, Boulder County emergency services supervisor. Rescuers from Boulder Fire Rescue, Boulder Open Space and Rocky Mountain Rescue hiked about 500 feet up the steep hill popular for paragliding and strapped Hecker in a litter before carrying him down. Hecker was conscious and in pain, screaming obscenities as he was loaded onto the ambulance. Gilmer told rescuers Hecker has been paragliding for about five years, and said he has even more experience in sky diving and BASE jumping, which stands for building, antenna, span and earth and involves leaping with parachutes from buildings, bridges, cliffs and other fixed perches. Hecker was listed as a winner of a scholarship in 2004 by the Mile High Youth Gliding Association for lessons on the nonprofit's Boulder-based glider. Kay Tauscher, owner of Peak to Peak Paragliding in Boulder, was walking her dog at Wonderland Lake near the time of the accident and spotted the two lone paragliders. "I thought 'That's weird, this is clearly not a day to fly,'" Tauscher said, noting the wind was blowing the wrong direction. "Anybody who's been through proper training knows today is not the day to fly." Paragliders launching from Wonderland Lake need winds to be moving in an easterly direction to fly safely, Tauscher said, not from the west like it was blowing Monday morning. When the wind is at a paraglider's back, it creates a condition known as a "rotor," Tauscher said, and paragliders are not engineered to fly in that "kind of air." Tauscher said there had been talk in the local paragliding circles about some younger, inexperienced paragliders launching in less than desirable conditions from Wonderland Lake, but there is no law that they must be licensed.
  14. looking for info regarding high-angle rescue, particuarly, if someone gets stcuk on the wire, how could one initiate self rescue....? not the stuck person, but others on the load... sling+biners over the wire w/a tagline to hold weight/lower to jumper? this is pretty much the only solution i could come up w/... thoughts?
  15. fucking golden.... but of course, an intelligent observation and post must degenerate into because its that easy....
  16. well if thats the case, there is an easy solution.... show up saturday, in numbers, and settle it wild west style... i abhor unnecessary violence, but sometimes...
