I am nobody to criticize you for wearing one in FF but I would caution you about doing so as it is very easy to get ("head down/ Fixated") just like pilots can when there is no HUD and too much info. Talk to your Jumpmaster or one of the best uninjured skydivers at your DZ ok? PLEASE?

Not a clue, but I'm sure there's a high speed pass in there somewhere. That should help exit separation a bit

that pretty much sums me up. You hear about people paying $$ to go to bullshit new-age seminars to learn to get in touch with their "inner child." What a crock of shit. I need a seminar to figure out how to keep up this "outer adult" facade!! am I alone here? Does anyone else here feel like an impostor when other people seem to think you're actually a grown-up?? Dude read Rainbo's sig line "I would like to find your inner child and kick his ass!" hehehe

They make UV/Blacklight headlamps like for camping

A long time ago I took a friend who was raised antigun and had very strong beliefs about it to the range and let him shoot nearly everything I had. I think it took nearly a month to shut him up and get that grin off his face. He is now one of the biggest collectors I know.(15yrs later)

Was he drinking and then got into difficulty? Cold water? Sorry for your mates loss.

I would have no problem slotting the Parents or Parent myself. I would then have a good nights sleep, knowing I took those girls out to an all you can eat buffet...( for the next 3 months)

I even apologize if it takes a second shot. One shot One kill should be the the lesson to live by. I shoot at running animals but usually never miss. I do not like the idea of using lures and or food as bait that isn't hunting to me, it is shopping.

Hunting is NOT animal abuse and if a hunter is witnessed doing such an act he may be charged with a crime or dealt with summarily by other hunters. Hunting is not about the Kill but the Hunt itself. If Hunting werre only about killing they would have called it "Killing Season"

But you DO know a few of the regs that YOU should be contacting. Rainbo, Gomei, and a few others would be a great start.

Sorry John that is currently beyond my skills by a longshot, maybe in a few years though.

It would be very cool indeed, I only have an older magellan but I may get a newer one soon that is easier on Batt life and in color. I love the Digital compass/ Altimeter/ Barometer capabilites

It looks to be a very nice unit although that antenna can be a prob, also shop it around a bit and find a good price...ebay? Also do some testing with one if you can get your hands on it by using Survey Reference Monuments and see what the GPS says vs. a known Lat/Lon position. Sensitivity variables can cause some erroneous readings, and in the past I have found very small errors in the position reported when still, with a hand held (not really a problem unless youre a surveyor). We once measured between USGS monuments set by GPS, that were over 30 miles apart and when all was done we had found, and proved that the Monument at the end of the traverse was out of POS by over TEN FEET! This should not be a factor unless you are doing an accuracy jump or something in an unknown area.(unlikely I hope) BTW before anyone wants to claim that GPS is perfect and that I am wrong please understand the difference between a spheroid and a geoid in calculating a POS. THAT IS HOW MISTAKES ARE MADE!

Here is a scary story, when I jump, Dave Ciciarelli is willing to jump with me! now thats fucking scary

Truman took the easy way out. And it is a blight on our nation that we annihilated two cities full of innocent people with nuclear weapons. While that statement may be true it is also true that a great many of us may have never existed if we were forced to invade Japan. The estimate of 1 million men to take the home island may have been low. Think of it this way how many lives would it cost any country to try and invade us with a large force? Even our own military would fear having to disarm the American Citizen.

cool I will watch it, TYVM

To The Concerned Citizen of The World: "Killing innocent civilians is NOT an act of self-defense. Destroying a sovereign nation is NOT a measured response." Lebanese civilians have been under the constant attack of the state of Israel for several days. The State of Israel, in disregard to international law and the Geneva Convention, is launching a maritime and air siege targeting the entire population of the country. Innocent civilians are being collectively punished in Lebanon, by the state of Israel for attacks by groups not given proper authority by the legitimate government of Lebanon, in deliberate retaliation to acts of terrorism as described in Article 33 of the Geneva Convention. Hizbollah has now turned Lebanon into a war zone now and the ones that suffer are the Lebanese. Occupying territory of a soveriegn nation, and using that land to attack another sovereign country, is a horrendus act, and is cleary criminal according to international law, and shall be dealt with Militarily, and Diplomatically, as well as Financially for said acts of war. The Lebanese people feel left out by the world that is turning a blind eye on the savagery of the Israeli state. Israel does not seem to be capable of approaching any problem outside the realm of the military power bestowed on it by the government of the United States of America and other western governments in dealing with acts of terrorism visited upon the citizens of Israel and Lebanon alike. We are writing you this letter in the hope that this impending massacre is immediately stopped. It is the universal duty of each individual to defend the innocents and expose the truth. The numerous civilian victims of the Israeli operations are increasing by the hour. The viciousness of the attacks by both sides has attained terrifying levels where a child has been cut in three while another was half burned. The Israeli war machine, in its blind savagery, is destroying not only our lives but the foundations that could help the civilians survive beyond their massacre. The Israeli Defense Forces are destroying in few hours what Lebanon has spent years and billions of dollars to rebuild. Up until now more than 300 Lebanese civilians have been killed and thousands missing under the rubbles , thousands wounded, bridges and infrastructure destroyed, refugees are leaving Beirut in droves and worst of all the enforced siege might lead to a human catastrophe in the next few days. There must be an end to this cycle of violence and continuous violation of international laws and basic ethical behavior. Hizbollah is now using road blocks to stop Lebanese civilians from evacuating the area of operations in southern Lebanon. Between the blindness of the international community and the intentional deafness of the Arab one, the besieged Lebanese population has no way out. Peace begins with justiceQuote That would be a much better and more accurate statement.

Dude that is so easily busted just using the internet you can measure distances pretty damned accurately.

Bill the last time I pointed one at two assholes, it did deter crime.

I think it is time for King Abdullah to step up to the plate and kick some asses. Unfortunately alot of extremists want him dead. No matter what that are of the world may never be happy.

I inferred that it is your contention that Israel unleashing its Armor and Infantry on Lebonon is a good thing. Am I wrong? No a good thing would have been for everyone involved to get along and mind their own fucking business. Israel, Syria, Iran, and all those wonderful religous fanatics in the middle east who don't seem to understand the fucking book they use as their own guidance are the problem. The Lebanese, Israeli's, Palestinians who aren't benefitting from all this conflict, are sick of this crap and tired of being the neighborhood Bully's playground. I wonder if Hezbollah is stupid enough to go starting shit in northern Beirut again? I think so, they want to have all factions warring and it will all be for nothing. Hezbollah will not be the last ones standing if it all comes apart.

Now I've got it! Being a real man means beating up helpless people. Only if that helpless person keeps running their fucking mouth.
