I just know that I can never tell, and it is just one of those things you don't ask people. It is right up there with "Uhm, are you pregnant?" HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

True enough. If I were a woman I don't know if I'd be into butt sex. Well women might not have a prostate, however the reason I don't find this particular activity very interesting is that it tends to be instant orgasm for the girl after which she tends to be "a little sore". Then you have to go wash up before you can finish. It's not like you have the option of sticking it anywhere else. She knows where it's been HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

Might take you up on that... But the tall grass you have in Gruyeres is sooo god for dragging your toes through. HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

As my profile indicate, I am a newbie flying ariound under a Spectre 210. I have ~50 jumps on it. It took me a while to dial in the flare. For a long time, I would start the flare to early and surf along with my feet a few feet of the ground. At the end of the surf I would be put down a bit hard, so I decided to practice flaring a bit later. Straight in approaches only, of course. This has now lead to some immensely enjoyable landings, where I pull my legs up a bit and drag a foot through the grass to keep track of the ground level. At the end of the flare I pop up and put down my feet with nearly no horizontal speed left. While these landings are very fun (ground rush!) it worries me a little that I am reducing my safety margins by initiating my flare so late. If I am too slow I will loose the opportunity to PLF and that might hurt my butt a lot My question is if it is OK to have to pull up the legs on landing at my level, or if I should always conserve the possibility to PLF during the entire flare and thus stick with flaring earlier?

Did you think something was wrong or did you do it on principal? I wouldn't have probably bothered. Just spot for the freebag. It was two things. I wanted the issue to be clear if I had a mal (out of principle as you say). The other reason was more pragmatic. I wanted to know what kind of openings I would get out of this canopy, not what someone else might get. In fact this whole issue makes me hesitant to lend my rig to people. I have never been asked, but it would probably depend a lot on the person asking.

First time I borrowed a rig to demo it, the first thing I did was repack it. Then at least I would know that it was my own damn fault if something went wrong. HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed." "OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!" His staff waits, stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands. Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

Yup. I'll follow my rigger's recommendations. You follow yours HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

I check the cables every time before the first jump of the day. It is not hard to ascertain if they are free to move. I was told to leave the cleaning to my rigger though... HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

Yup. Haven't done it in a while, but IIRC you just need PuTTY and an account on some UNIX server connected to the internet. This could be a Linux box in your closet at home. You then set up an ssh tunnel to map a port on your desktop to the appropriate IP. If what I said here did not make sense to you, then it is probably too much of a hassle

Are you implying that there is a genuine risk that if I showed up at a US DZ, they might insist that I have my reserve repacked? If so, that is just plain ridiculous. I have never had trouble in France and Switzerland. Likewise Danish regulations just require a foreign rigger to sign off his work on the (Danish) papers of the equipment.

You have now learned lesson number one in appreciating foreign movies: See them in the original language. If you don't speak it, put on subtitles

Couldn't agree more. Most often it is only used, because some half-taught webdesigner couldn't be bothered to leave his WYSIWYG cradle and learn some css. Many many flash sites could have made do with some decent css programming and standard compliant html.

When I checked the market a couple of months ago I ended up buying an iPod mini, because it was the cheapest. When you compare the price per GB to other players it actually comes out pretty favourable.
