Has anyone ever attempted to dock with a powered parachute canopy? would this be possible if the prop was fully caged? Not that I am going to try, but it seems like this could be done. Did anyone see that explosion? whatever it was, it's a good thing that it landed in that huge smoking crater! -Chief Wiggam Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires.

Eh, I got it out of my system. I'll admit it, I lost it a li'l bit there. I am pissed that the fuse was lit and we have no choice but to proceed with WW3 (as my soldier friends are calling it) Now we have to go to Iran and bomb them, then Syria, finish off the taliban, Hamas & the rest of Islam,then next stop N Korea. Shit,it does not matter who won the election or who has evidence of WMD. The evidence is irrelevant at this point. Now- add a little avian flue pandemic to the mix and maybe CBS & NBC will have to put a body counter at the bottom of the screen, lovely. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go check on my stash of food, guns and antibiotics. Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415

ya mon I've consulted a phanatic mtbiker. It's all about the frame.The grit will chew up components no matter what, so you end up replacing that stuff regularly anyway.Yeah, grind them off and get new bling later. Bike snobs are always switching components out so you may find some deals on E bay etc. Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415

Know what bud? you need all of the evidence you can get. I want to see it because our friends and family are going over to Iraq to lay down their lives and for what, An oil soaked sand pit? The Vietnam of our time. Democracy you say? We need the oil you say? -Our tax dollars couuld have been better spent on alternative energy sources by now and those lives could have been put to better use in Afganistan building a real democracy and a real peace, instead we create more terrorism...nice job. MEANWHILE, Bin Laden, ya remember him? is still free! Evidence??? your precious republicans better fucking produce some more! Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires.

Thanks y'all, Very helpful, The club has a small expense account,but I'll ask how much they are willing to spend. Anyway I'm thinking that it will be a small uncomplicated demo with qualified local jumpers doing average DZ manuvers, That will be plenty exciting. As for a seminar on DZ flyovers Tom, Thats a great idea since this is a fly in and hopefully lots of pilots will be there, They need educating for sure, I'd be glad to do the talking with the right info provided, but if you want to, it would be an honor.

My local sport flying club is having a fly in this Summer. I suggested at the last meeting that I could get some local skydivers to maybe do a demo. This is a nice rural airport with a big grassy landing area and lots of outs. What are the rules & who should I get in touch with? I think it would be really cool to show these pilots what skydivers can do. (besides drink, wize guy) "hey, they have the internet on computers now" H.S.

Could you or anyone else here explain to me how the process of who will be singled out as a terrorist,or extremist cell operative slated for warrentless search/ wire tapping be conducted? Will a black list be started? I want to know because while I want "terrorist" acts to be prevented world wide as we all do. I do not want to end up on such a list because of lets say for example I own an AK47 (legally) and I like to target shoot, a lot. Also while I consider myself a pretty good citizen I have a lot of criticism for the govt. does that make me a terrorist? Who decides and where does the line get drawn? Yo! do you mind? can't you see I'm postin' over here ? Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415

nah, thats just your breath blowing back in your face. Badda bing.... sorry i couldn't resist Actually the thread should read, man it must be hard to be facing investigation and a congressional hearing then possible impeachment. is that whats got you so up in arms? wire taps for the white house! oh yeeeeaaaah Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415

Ya mon Sometimes a bit of vitriol leads to speculation which leads to investigation then results in fact finding which is later converted into what the fuck really happened, then it is distilled by the press packaged and sold back to the voters. I would never want to be a politician...The sheer scrutiny of it all. Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415

Yes, I realize you are not a republican, bush supporter, cheater, or an assassin. Theres nothing wrong with being a supporter of the ruling party anyway as long as you are prepared to defend your choice, which people here do. This thread is not meant to personalize any of this discussion for anyone but Washington officials and their motives. I started this rant because I was pisseed about all of this NSA bruhaha. we live in an increasingly free world and I just wanted to say my piece as a free individual....and make fun of the NSA. Do all of you realize how rare that is? That we don't live in a constant fucking lockdown? Lets just keep it that way. Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415

Yes Mr. Viper, Mr Rocket and yourself are correct, in any game it is wize to use all of the features of the game to the players advantage. after all the point is to win. That goes for bad ref calls, the weather, an opponents weakness whatever it takes, we get it. The trick is to not get caught cheating. When I say that the Bush dynasty has unprecedented power I take into account the other Washington families, It's just that I postulate that GW got a little help from mommy and daddy via phone calls to judges, Florida officials.....whatever it takes right? Hey, the republicans won, OK enjoy your victory. after all you had to suffer through the Clinton years. We did not get any sleep...the NSA van was partying all night; loud dico music, people streaming in and out. I- I think they're selling drugs. my tax dollars at work... Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415

Cuss out flies and bitch about the government. Allow some inner paranoia to go out. And sometimes just say, "Fuck it" to my own expectations and to everyone else's. Yes professor, We would not want to bitch about the Govt. now would we? That might attract attention....WTF do you think the internet was made for, Porn?? You're a skydiver for gods sake, fear is no longer an obstacle, let it out man! what would Lionel Hutz do? Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415

Don't worry professor, I just had a chat with the NSA dudes in the van, They are actually pretty cool, they gave me a T shirt that says "I did it in Guantanamo bay" Hey one of these days I'll catch ya at a DZ and you can either have a free shot at me or we can crack a beer and laugh about this. Don't foreget to question authority. Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415

OK lawrocket, I'll admit that I don't spend enough time re-arranging my pencils in a virtual cubicle at the library of Congress and this is definitely more fun than work, but I will have to comment later on your diatribe. The NSA dudes in the van outside can't keep up with your brilliant posts - now they have a sign in their window that says "show yer tits". My GF is not amused. Sorry I accused you both of being members of the republican party, I can understand how that would be offensive, but according to my republican friends it's not so bad. Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415

Hey you missed it..I spelled Fascism wrong..I expected you to catch that since you are much more familiar with Fascism than I am. you conservative libertarian scholar you. Anyway we shouid go do some target shooting sometime since I hunt for my own food to feed my "hippy" ass, don't judge me either. Instead read, George Orwells Animal Farm and reflect on how history repeats itself. freedom of speech, freedom of speech, I want more freedom of speech ,sam I am.

Um, this post is exactly correct. We don't have a democracy. It wasn't intended to be. The only group of the feds that are elected by the "people" with majority vote are the House and Senators, and until 100 years ago, Senators were elected by representatives. Of course you like the notion of a "republic" - You're freekin republicans! "not that there's anything wrong with that" But I've got another one for you...Lobbyocracy, a facist govt. controlled by corporations. hey Halliburton, how you doin'? Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415

I used the word postulates for a reason, these are just ideas meant to get some discussion going here, It's better than letting the Govt. yank us around - like a good little tax paying dog on a short chain. Somewhere between the extremes lies the truth and since none of us here are Washington insiders, how are we to know what is really going on in their heads. Granted we do not live in a true Democracy but a lot of blood was spilled to forge and maintain fundamentals of the Constitution, it's nice to know that some of us are still paying attention. But hey, if the NSA wants to park a van outside my house and listen while my girlfriend and I fuck- well, the least they can do is DELIVER A PIZZA .......um, we like mushrooms and peppers please, thankyou.

The founding fathers engineered and constructed a brilliant system of government as documented in the U.S. Constitution , 200 plus years later it's utility is unsurpassed on a world stage. I submit the idea that we are entering a period where the fundamentals of the Constitution are unwittingly being slowly eroded and Democracy as we know it is evolving into something else. Here are some postulates; Dynasty- The Bush family wields unprecedented power in the history of this country. George the 1st was underestimated as a "whimp" during his rule but has been vindicated by his sons Jeb and his brother George the 2nd, who no doubt was ushered into the presidency during back room deals made by powerful family allies in Washington. A prime example of nepotism. Next in line? Jeb Bush. As a result the War against Islamic nations are an ongoing family vendetta conducted at the expense of the U.S. military. Dictatorship- Recent interviews with retired senior staff reveal the extent of unbridled presidential power; for example the pressure Cheney put on the CIA to back up the WMD claims so the President could sell the 2nd gulf war for the covert purpose of empire building. Additionally, using the constant fear of attack to bolster support for the republican party...a tactic known to be used by past dictatorships to maintain control. Lastly the use of the NSA to spy on U.S. citizens reminiscent of the Gestapo. The result of these possibilities? Democracy fades like the ink on the Constitution.

GW's first election was a sham & Bush was a limp duck previous to 9 11...The Senate Dems had the majority thanks to the courage of Jeffords, and bush was hiding from the press on his ranch running his dull chain saw and dull mind desperately trying to figure out how to gain "political capitol" UNTIL 3000+ Americans were crushed and burned to death in NY.......Suddenly the republicans had reason to develop a boner fueled by the viagra of terrorism. To this day the republicans are usung 9 11 to gain control of the American people because as Goering once said when the nazi's were running Germany - It is an easy thing to gain power, simply tell the people they are being attacked, this works in a democracy,a communist country, or a dictatorship.... My father spent two years in a Nazi prison camp as a POW and warned me that it could happen in the U.S. if the American people were not vigillant. Oh, and lookie here what do you know...the Constitution is being eroded before our eyes! Are you questioning my patriotism?? Go ahead, do your duty & report me to the N.S.A for smearing your sacred republicans! .......... I am an American and proud of it! ...So was my dad. Blue sky, if I don't see ya in the future.I'll see ya in the pasture. Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415

yeah- like i told a republican- national guard buddy of mine while he was razzin me when the Patriots were still in the playoffs...."Enjoy it while you can dink... (three quarters later) Oh whats that? nice game in Denver!!! HA.... shiny, perfect all american boy Brady has to go home WAAAAAHHH... better luck next year....not!" The lesson here is careful who ya razz bro. Unfortunately that goes for both of us...PEACE OUT! Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415

wow,hey you're funny on so many levels that Im gonna need a frickin elevator. badda bing! Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415

yeah...I just saw an old cartoon tonight- G W Bush at his state of the union address. Did anyone else see that explosion! whatever it was it's a good thing it landed in that huge smoking crater! -Chief Wiggam Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415

People,has it come to this? why cant folks just believe in Santa, the Easter bunny, UFO's, and sasquatch if it makes them happy. Let them rejoice, life is to short. On the other hand if you are an existentialist like me then all of us are just insignificant specks on a larger speck, floating around in an ocean of specks for just a nanosecond....then you're gone and none of this matters..... oops, did I bum anyone out?.sorry. Just another opinion on the WW web.... get the picture? "You cant put that up there- Thats our sacred mountain!" "Well.... this is our sacred antenna!"

Fear not man, oddly it will be the oil companies that will take over the alternative energy industry...its already happening.BP is getting into bio fuels,others are looking at solar and of course hydrogen, fuel cells are getting a nod as well.Always remember that corporations are interested in profit and once oil becomes more expensive or dangerous to produce than it's worth to burn, the change is gonna come. Besides, even in the Middle East, Allah would not look kindly on those that push the button and not everyone there is a suicide bomber. Additionally westernized countries don't have the balls (or ovaries) to start armageddon. its all just posturing and politics. That being said..... I have to go check on my stash of weapons and food and antibiotics now. The problem with skydiving is ya gotta be fuckin' nuts, yet perfectly sane.... at the same time.

Ya mon, Has anyone checked out the oil producing sector in the stock market? I have been trading for years and have noticed that the market is a reliable, albeit weird, barometer indicating what's going on in the world. I do not trade oil related stocks,(granted just about everything is oil related) but I can tell you that those who do on average are making steady gains in the past few months. No doubt due to questionable supply and war mongering. Long term tip of the week; Bio fuels & fuel cells baby! Did anyone see that explosion??? What ever it was it's a good thing that it landed in that huge smoking crater! Chief Wiggam Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415
