    Ah, yes. The older guy in the ball cap. I jumped at Spaceland for a little while, while living in Clear Lake. We are all engines of karma

    Well, invite him over! I'm confident you could fix that problem We are all engines of karma

    It never ceases to amaze me how the search for a simple word can become so difficult We are all engines of karma

    Agreed. Formal semantics can really complicate things in real life. We are all engines of karma

    Very true. The horizon can be pretty scary for those of us in our mid 40s. How do we protect ourselves? Still trying to figure that out. We are all engines of karma

    So, sounds like it's best to kill them out right in battle and avoid all the hassle. We are all engines of karma

    I learned to jump at a Cessna dropzone. On jump run, before the door would go open, I'd always get a huge case of butterflies. Once the door was open, they went away. Took about 50 jumps for it to fully pass. I'd say what you're experience is not abnormal. We are all engines of karma

    That was the lady who used to own Spaceland, right? I met her. She's very nice. Didn't she and her daughter move to Missouri? We are all engines of karma

    The real issue is IT managers haven't figured out what your clients have figured out. Plus, once an infrastructure/application is in place by an experienced professional, they tend to work well for long periods of time. Thus, the lack of perception on IT managers part.

    Ah, so it sounds like my question really involved Rules Of Engagement, not GC. Thanks Nightingale and GQ_jumper. We are all engines of karma

    I was trying to keep billvon out of this We are all engines of karma

    I understand that. The question is more - when does the Geneva convention kick in? Declaration of war? Or, other? Also, why not just kill the "terrorist" out right (ignoring the media consequences in this discussion, for now)? We are all engines of karma

    What I really want here is a simple word to describe the phenomenon, and it's turned into a very difficult problem We are all engines of karma

    Apparently, one is going to open soon. Any word on it? Myself and another group of people are looking to go there, and we're debating to wait or not (e.g., "air stability issues" during first phase operations, etc). 3 of 4 of my team members have never done a wind tunnel, including myself, and there are some unclear concerns. Debate also centers around whether we should just fly to Eloy's, Florida tunnels, etc. Any input would be appreciated. We are all engines of karma

    In followup to another thread here tonight (see I just want to SCREAM!, post #30, http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_flat;post=2327269;page=2;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;mh=25;), I went out and googled several variants of "turtle sex with humans". Nothing came back. Does this mean Slappie isn't human? We are all engines of karma

    I absolutely love facing off and doing nothing but 360s in place. One person does a 360 left, then right. Then, the other person does that. Rinse, repeat. Here's the kicker. The turns must be in place, and the other person can't move while it's happening. Difficult for newbies to figure that out. Once you've got that, go out and both skydivers do 360s at the same time in place. Peripheral motion awareness is developed. We are all engines of karma

    In simple terms, when does a person become "protected", in practice? We are all engines of karma

    That bruised thing of yours should be just about perfect BTW - me and vodka don't play well together, so it's almost time to go to bed. You can thank me tomorrow. We are all engines of karma

    So, what are the responsibilities of the protected persons in this agreement? We are all engines of karma
