I watched the whole video this time and I did see the paraglider using a round reserve to land. Thanks.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,589768,00.html CHICAGO — The once mighty community activist group ACORN announced Monday it is folding amid falling revenues — six months after video footage emerged showing some of its workers giving tax tips to conservative activists posing as a pimp and prostitute. "It's really declining revenue in the face of a series of attacks from partisan operatives and right-wing activist that have taken away our ability to raise the resources we need," ACORN spokesman Kevin Whelan said. Several of its largest affiliates, including ACORN New York and ACORN California, broke away this year and changed their names in a bid to ditch the tarnished image of their parent organization and restore revenue that ran dry in the wake of the video scandal. ACORN's financial situation and reputation went into free fall within days of the videos' release in September. Congress reacted by yanking ACORN's federal funding, private donors held back cash and scores of ACORN offices closed. Earlier this month, a U.S. judge reiterated an earlier ruling that the federal law blacklisting ACORN and groups allied with it was unconstitutional because it singled them out. But that didn't mean any money would be automatically be restored. Bertha Lewis, the CEO of ACORN, which stands for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, alluded to financial hardships in a weekend statement as the group's board prepared to deliberate by phone. "ACORN has faced a series of well-orchestrated, relentless, well-funded right wing attacks that are unprecedented since the McCarthy era," she said. "The videos were a manufactured, sensational story that led to rush to judgment and an unconstitutional act by Congress." ACORN's board decided to close remaining state affiliates and field offices by April 1 because of falling revenues, with some national operations will continue operating for at least several weeks before shutting for good, Whelan said Monday. For years, ACORN could draw on 400,000 members to lobby for liberal causes, such as raising the minimum wage or adopting universal health care. ACORN was arguably most successful at registering hundreds of thousands of low-income voters, though that mission was dogged by fraud allegations, including that some workers submitted forms signed by 'Mickey Mouse' or other cartoon characters.

I did the STP program and I would say that STP was a better way to go for me. It's longer but cheaper on each jump and I graduated with My A license at 25 Jumps. That's all that matters to me.

Priceline Boy? Why would anyone want to punch the SHAT? Now David Hasslehoff...I can see how anyone would want to punch the HOFF.

Thats a good point...but the thing is...shes so ugly you could get away with beating her ass cause nobody could tell anyway!

So you doubt he would punch Nancy Pelosi, but you never said anything about Michael Vick...personally body guards aside...I think he'd have an easier time with Pelosi than Michael Vick.

Tila Tequila (I hate that bitch) Anyone who was ever on "the hills" as a main actor Anyone who was ever on "Jersey Shore" as a main actor Basically anything that MTV now produces is total shit and that channel should be blown up to protect the innocent.

it appeared to be something like the original Soul Flyers where they had some guys with either skydiving grear or BASE gear where they were riding with the paragliders and they exited off into freefall and one of the jumpers in freefall directly impacted a paraglider. I'm sure the jumper was ok since he deployed, but does anyone know what happened to the paraglider...or did his canopy return to normal flight?

And more expensive...but the fun outweighs the cost by miles...

I have no idea regarding pilot rigs...but 75 dollars? That sounds a bit too good (or old) to be true.

I like the second review better.... So, a female esthetician (read: not a doctor) noticed her lady-bits were fading, and invented vagina dye. That really, honestly happened. I would write more, but this entire concept is so stunningly retarded, I am at a loss for words. Does any woman over the age of ten really need to be told not to go merrily daubing her cooter with mystery substances? "Natural" doesn't mean safe (see: hemlock, stonefish, sulfuric acid).

I am not stating this is good one way or another...but I did notice that Spaceland was on their website...and the price listed was the same for tandems (185 weekends)as on the http://www.skydivespaceland.com website. Not saying good or bad just stating what the site said.

Do what I did and just get current again. That's the most important part. I can get my reserve repacked soon in the upcoming weeks...Once that's accomplished I will soon be jumping my rig and the price will be lots cheaper. But for now it feels great to be current again! Paul A. Kirk A53175

I am the youngest of 3 kids. My brother got married and moved away when I was 8 joined the navy and didn't come back to Texas until I was 19 or so. My sister lives about 5 miles from my house and we get along pretty well. My brother currently lives in Thailand and rarely comes to the United States to visit, and he often blames my parents for his misfortunes. Now my lazy ass neice (her most important accomplishment in life was getting pregnant by a hard working guy (damn I feel sorry for that kid!) came by our house and was telling me and my wife about the troubles her grandma and grandpa were having and how if it were up to her she would put her grandpa in a nursing home...I said stop right there...the 'grandpa' person you are referring to is MY FATHER...and last time I checked...you aren't on the board of directors (B!TCH!!) I am. He's my father and you DO NOT have a single say in ANYTHING when it comes to my parent's well being. So step the fuck off before you find yourself knee deep in some shit you can't dig your way out of. She got pissed off and left, but my nephew...Love that kid...we are basically best friends...my neice? no idea what happened to that lazy slug.

Or you could just move to south Texas....Its warm here for at least 9 months out of the year...and our version of cold is probably way different than yours...but we have two miniature dachshunds that crawl in the bed around 9 pm and get under the covers and warm our bed up... http://www.break.com/usercontent/2007/7/12/parker-and-kelsey-330254

Yes I called in sick today *cough *chough...Got Current today BABY... I just re-affirmed I still suck ass...but sucking ass has never been so damn fun! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka65zIshnZo

Are you just joking or referring to a specific 'east' side of houston...I live in H-town...just curious.

And probably slower as well...I was hoping McLaren would produce something to compete with the Bugatti Veyron.

Perhaps he wanted it translated from latin to pig latin?

Oh my god I just had a flashback from the Bruno movie...I think my poor mind will be tainted forever because of this.

Being almost hit by a knob doesn't strike me as being an accurate description of "assault" ---------------------------------------------------------------- What if the 'knob' in question was spewing various liquids at the time of the assault?

Yeah I second that...but as someone who has horticulture experience, I would say there are various ways to germinate seeds...some of which shouldn't be placed into the soil until after they've germinated. One of the best ways to germinate seeds is to put them in a wet paper towel, then enclose in a ziploc bag and leave out in the sun for a few days...once you see sprouts eminating from the seedlings you can insert into the soil. Besides you might want to check out this cool mini garden its called an Aero Garden. It can be done inside your house and it costs about a hundred bucks.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/north_east/8570398.stm The court heard Marium Varinauskas had been drinking heavily A man who assaulted a female police officer with his penis has been fined. Marium Varinauskas, 28, tried to strike the officer on the head with his penis when she was called out to his flat, but she got out of the way. Lithuanian Varinauskas admitted a charge of assault at Aberdeen Sheriff Court and was fined £600. The court heard he had been drinking heavily and could not remember committing the offence at his home in Aberdeen. Police were called to his home by his girlfriend, who had complained about him being drunk last November. They arrived to find the self-employed engineer sitting on the sofa wearing a pair of underpants. He apologises profusely and is extremely embarrassed John Hardie Defence solicitor Fiscal depute Elaine Lynch said: "The accused got to his feet and was standing over the police officer exposing his penis and thrusting it in her face, forcing her to take evasive action to avoid getting struck." Defence solicitor John Hardie said: "He was sitting on the couch drunk with his pants on. "He can't remember anything but accepts that if that's what the police say then that's what happened. "He has never been so drunk before that day and accepts he has to take full responsibility. He apologises profusely and is extremely embarrassed." His not guilty plea to committing a breach of the peace by uttering offensive and sexual remarks was accepted by the Crown. Sheriff Annella Cowan was told that the Lithuanian had now quit binge drinking because of the incident.

I was waiting to see some footage of your rodeo-wingsuit jump...
