I didn't say show us her breasts. See Melissa's pose. We are all engines of karma

Ok, I'll bite. Why? We are all engines of karma

Candy should take her top off. Melissa is winning right now. Has any seen the "Killing Kittens" thread ? We are all engines of karma

When a parachute opens in the airplane...
StreetScooby replied to Skyliber's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I had my Vector reserve pop once on the ride up. I was sitting against the back of the otter, and the pin caught an edge of something and came out. Some very quick thinking people immediately sat on me, helped me get the rig off, and I went to the front of the plane for the ride down. We are all engines of karma -

Speeding up your fall rate
StreetScooby replied to Andy_Copland's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
RW is all about deflective momentum. The force available to you in the plane of the skydive varies with the square of the airspeed. For the same amount of body deflection, the faster you're falling, the more force is going to be available for translation and rotation. The limiting step here is the slowest person in the group. They must keep a comfortable box in order to be effective at RW. We are all engines of karma -
Best way to proceed when you get your gear stolen?

What a great idea! We are all engines of karma -
Lessons learned tips appreciated
StreetScooby replied to Broke's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
It's also the responsibility of the other people on the load to get down to you. Lest we forget, that's how Tommy Piras was killed. Someone went under the formation, stayed there, and had a premature deployment. Bad, bad, bad. We are all engines of karma -

As you practice your RW-swoop skills always remember to swoop to the side of the formation, never directly at it. It you're swooping directly at the formation, and overshoot, you may injure yourself and others. In my opinion, the low man is right. It's not your burden alone to stay up with other people. When I jump with my 4 way guys, I wear 16 pounds of lead. If you're going to be doing 4-way as an inside center, learn to keep your head in the outside center's chest/crotch, through exit. God, I wish I could fall that fast without weights. That's a really nice speed for 4 way. RW is all about deflective momentum. The energy available for that momentum varies with the square of the air velocity. The faster you fall, the smoother your dives can be. The limiting factor in fall rate is the slowest person on the group. That person must be able to keep a comfortable box, which usually means they wear weights. Better yet, have the people you jump with work on their fast fall. Have them wear weights. If you're doing 4-way, you must keep a good box position, which means don't overarch or dearch. If you're overarching and go to take grips (e.g., a sidebody), the person overarching will either 1) bring their arms down, or 2) the person docking on this overarched person will have to bring their arms down to make the dock. Either way, you'll introduce a bobble into the formation because of the change in body positions and resultant deceleration in the formation's fall rate. If you're working too hard to stay up, similar problems with changing body positions will affect you. It's not a sin to fall fast. Nor is it your responsibility to fall slow. Find people that'll wear weights or have similar aerodynamics as yourself. When you first start in the sport, that's a very difficult thing to do. Stick with it. You'll get there.

This is my favorite book. Well done in every way. The atomic bomb was inevitable. It makes me angry to see how revisionist historians are trying to rewrite history and turn the US into really bad guys. The fathers of some of my childhood friends served in the Pacific campaign. They thought they were dead men because of the impending invasion of the Japanese home islands. They were very happy we ended the war with the least possible bloodshed, both American and Japanese.

I was thinking of one way to deal with these folks - have a group of paint ballers use them as target practice at one of their demonstrations. hehe We are all engines of karma

Must have been downright traumatizing for the woman. Just wait until places like Louisiana come across these instances. Can you imagine being in front of a Louisiana State Trooper and trying to explain to him there can be exceptions to DNA results? BTW, I've heard Louisiana takes DNA even if you're pulled over for a traffic violation. We are all engines of karma

From what I gathered from the article, client side processing is written in Java Script. AJAX is an add on that must have a Java Script API. Since printing is a basic functionality, I doubt it has anything to do with AJAX. We are all engines of karma
