I'm told to never take the volunteer offer for being bumped. If you are involuntarily bumped they are required to pay you real money, and a lot more of it. http://lifehacker.com/if-your-flight-is-overbooked-dont-volunteer-to-get-bum-1722036179 Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

I see we are still waiting for royreader to give us Putin's take on theses events. I guess his network has not given him directions yet. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

I have long had a suspicion that the 3" tape that sliders are outlined with may be a culprit. If both the front and rear of the slider have a 3" border fold under it could leave a much smaller hourglass shape to do the job.

Here are the top four in order based on real life incidents: 1. Sabre II (Early Versions) 2. Spectre 3. Triathlon 4. Sabre I All Spectra lined canopies BTW... MEL Do you know what was changed between early and later versions of the Sabre 2 that make a difference? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

Now, that makes me want to see the rest of your list. What other canopies are on the "hit" parade? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
-
If I read what you are saying correctly, you believe that only Spectra lined canopies are capable of giving jumpers catastrophic hard openings. And that if only people would use your chosen line type they would be eliminated? I've got a lot of respect for your experience and knowledge. But this seems a little like hyperbole. Have you actually investigated, or at least received reports of, all cases of devastatingly hard openings and linked all of them to Spectra lines?

-
That is strictly anecdotal and subject to your own prejudices and perceptions. Not terribly meaningful as data. In any case, a distinction needs to be made between hard openings which may be a habit certain canopies and certain lines may have a problem with, and the type of rouge openings that result in serious injuries. Something else is going on with those. And as far as I can see it must have a cause rooted in the failure of the slider to stay in place long enough to control the spreading of the bottom skin. When that happens a minor characteristic of the lines is not going to be enough prevent injury. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

It's a little misleading to blame those incidents on the Spectra lines. Until recently almost all canopies of those classes were factory lined with Spectra, and they are among the most popular and common canopies ever produced.

I'd agree with this. A 120 is a small enough canopy that line trim matters. On 170s and up it matters a lot less and then I'd go with Spectra. Just my 2 cents. Other people see it differently. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

He learned that from Bill Clinton. Who could forget Operation Desert Foxy Lady. I don't remember it. But you're right. It's a very old trick. And I'm guessing the action you are talking about occurred at the height of the Lewinsky scandal. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Nothing like a little military action to unify the populace. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

OK, polar bears are not thermometers and their population levels do not rise and fall with the temperature OR co2 levels. This whole thing with them comes from the fact that the ones living in and around Hudson Bay are having a hard time. This IS due to a shorter feeding period on the bay due to a shorter ice period. This is the most accessible population of them, and it's where you go to see them if you are a tourist and have money you want to blow on doing so. The overall population of polar bears is not currently in danger. The ones near Churchill MB suck up all the attention. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

That is literally the website I quoted run by the woman who is on payroll from the Heartland Institute. How about this? http://www.cnsnews.com/blog/craig-bannister/international-polar-bear-day-sees-population-pops-27-despite-warming Uhgg.... no, that is a propaganda site.

Assad is supported by his ethnic group, and those who have cast their lot in with it. He would be on the losing end of a slow war of attrition, but for Russian intervention. Russian intervention on Assad's side has been stronger than western intervention on behalf of the mishmash of groups opposing him. Assad is winning largely because his opposition is divided and ineffective, and because of Russian support. I'm paying attention, you can't fool me with your anti-west propaganda garbage.

Dude, only someone who has it can use it. Motive and opportunity. It's always the same. Find who has those and you solve the crime. Remember the story about Iraqi soldiers yanking babies from incubators in Kuwait? It was pure bullshit, made up to justify war. A time honoured tactic. It worked then, all kind of "assholes" fell for it. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Working Nine to Five, what a way to make a livin

Kushner seems to be the best hope for any sanity to emerge from the Trump administration. Not to say that's a great hope. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free. -
You realise there are a number of groups in Syria fighting against Assad. If you think it is just the Syrian government (and Russia) vs ISIS... Then who the hell have the coalition been openly arming and training for the last few years. Do you read or watch the state department briefings? The Moderate rebels that hold the area where the gas was 'released' are allies of the coalition and your money is going to arm them. This is no secret. You might want to clue yourself up on the situation a little better before having such a stance on it. It is nice to see that there are members of congress th\t are stating exactly as I am. Because they are the ones that Trump would have to go through if he is drawn into this and the very same people that stopped Obama from doing so in 2013. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXIJlyxCQyE&feature=youtu.be The anchor looks flabbergasted that he would say and think such things. He speaks absolute sense. Dude, there you go again. Obsfucation is not going to work here. Just answer the question. Who in the world has sarin gas available to them? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
-
But the question at hand is much simpler. Who dropped sarin gas on people? The list of possible suspects is not very long. If ISIS possessed such material they would have done it elsewhere. It defies all logic to think they have that capability. That leaves Assad's forces. With or without Russia supplying the material. I understand that Assad and his people are in a fight for their lives. A fact that is mostly ignored in western coverage. But that does not change the facts of what they are doing.
