This country needs to have a discussion about acceptable personal behavior in a civilized society, and not one about skin color. The liberals keep making it about skin color and identity politics. That's going nowhere. We are all engines of karma

They're clearly British (English actually), none of whom have ever shot a gun in their life. Nice tits, though. Did the Sun put this together? We are all engines of karma

We should all be worried about DS5. We are all engines of karma

That's a good point re: continuity. Very much appreciate the feedback on that. I'll go with variation. Thanks!

IMO, the conversation needs to be about behavior, not skin color. We are all engines of karma

So, still churning over the vocabulary in my head... For purposes of this discussion, the GUI (graphical user interface) will have three drop-down boxes: 1) Formations 2) Variations, or Continuity. 3) Mirrors Once all three selections are made, a diagram will show up on the screen. The more I think about this, the more I like Continuity (not to disparage bob.dino's input). Would I be wildly off base in anyone's mind if I did use Continuity? We are all engines of karma

Thanks! We are all engines of karma

Question for you rehmwa, What would you call the A-slot, B-slot, etc. collection? Mirrors doesn't seem to be the correct word. Thanks, We are all engines of karma

It goes off??? We are all engines of karma

So, now you see where I'm trying to head...

I like that... How would you describe a "continuity plan"? We are all engines of karma

Well, putting this as a tree does eliminate the semantics issue. But, relational databases need tables...

Ok, thanks for all of the feedback. Let me be a little clearer in what I'm trying to do. I'm playing around with a simple software system that will let me catalog all of the various permutations for 4-way formations. If you've ever made a living building software systems, you may agree with me that naming things can become very difficult. Coming up with meaningful and unambiguous names for objects/tables/etc. can be very challenging. On that note, I'll start speaking in terms of database tables. Let's call the core table FORMATIONS. This table will contain a row: FORMATIONS 1) DONUT Now, I can have one child table off of FORMATIONS, or I can have two child tables off of FORMATIONS. In the case of one child table, following Remster's feedback, we'll call it MIRRORS. This table would contain bob.dino's designations as follows: FORMATIONS 1) DONUT MIRRORS 1) A-slot LH donut 2) A-slot RH donut 3) B-slot LH donut 4) B-slot RH donut Now, at the risk of getting pedantic about semantics, the A-slot and B-slot entries really aren't mirrors. Of course, we could live with that within reason. Or, we could add a 2nd child table that will be called GEEIDONTKNOW for now, that would contain descriptive information about the A-slot and B-slot entries, while the MIRRORS table would simply contain LH donut and RH donut. Here's how that would look: FORMATIONS 1) DONUT MIRRORS 1) LH donut 2) RH donut GEEIDONTKNOW 1) A-slot 2) B-slot Would what be a good name for the second table GEEIDONTKNOW ? Or, it that getting pendantic about semantics? Ideally, the GUI for the software will let someone select an entry from the FORMATIONS drop-down. When they picked DONUT, the assoicated MIRRORS drop-down would have Left-Hand and Right-Hand. Then, the GEEIDONTKNOW drop-down would have A-slot and B-slot. Hope this makes sense. Appreciate the feedback very much. Thanks, We are all engines of karma

I'm in need of some unambiguous vocabulary... Consider the two basic forms of a donut: left-hand, right-hand. Is it reasonable to call these "isomers"? Is there a better word that would sit well on the tongue of most skydivers? Next, consider the various formations within an "isomer", e.g., the conventional build that we'll call the A-build. Then, another build with the skydivers in different relative slots, say the B-build. What's a good word to call this collection? Can't use isomers, because that's already taken Thanks for any thoughts/feedback. We are all engines of karma

For those not familiar with squdibillies, Unknown Hinson (Danny Baker) is the voice of Early. Right now, can't get his song "Alkyhol withdrawl" out of my head...

I think the "continue" is in dispute. Watching a few minutes of this trial standing in line at work for coffee, while the defense attorney was up, definitely bought that into context for me. He was on neighborhood watch, in a neighborhood that had been robbed enough times that the folks set up a neighborhood watch, with the help of local law enforcement. We are all engines of karma

I have become completely and utterly addicted to Squidbillies in the last few days. Used to meet people like that at family reunions, and come to find out most times I was related to them. ROFLMAO... We are all engines of karma

Just watched a bit of this standing in line for coffee. Defense seems to have clearly established that TM followed GZ. Where did the assault take place relative to TM's Dad's house? This is a witch hunt. We are all engines of karma

Arch hard through your pelvis, point your toes, and keep your head up. Also, try to keep your hands beneath the plane of your chin. It took me 50+ jumps to get over the door jitters. Don't worry about it. Trust your gear, trust yourself, and have fun. We are all engines of karma

I've never really never tried to hold that position. As you deploy, head into that position. You won't reach it to the extent AZ Airspeed does, but you get the idea. The main thing is be head high/chest high, looking at the horizon, and arching hard through your lumbar vertebrae. I went through a phase where I stayed flat, and watched over my shoulder until the canopy deployed. C4 would go out on a frequent basis. That would entail a lot of discomfort until I saw a decent chiro (...I've seen a dozen now, most are not worth the money, some will actually hurt you). You don't need to watch what is happening, once your pilot chute is clear of your burble. Get up, and watch the horizon. You can feel what's happening. We are all engines of karma

Went through the same issue years ago. Here's what I've learned to do. As you're bleeding your track speed off, and wave off: 1) Sit up on your knees, don't stay flat. 2) Don't watch the pilot chute after it clears your burble.. 3) Look hard at the horizon, head high, and arch through your lumbars, while you're still on your knees. 4) DO NOT WATCH THE CANOPY DEPLOY. You can feel what's happening. Go to this site: HealthBridges Buy the #1 to start. Ride it 3-5 minutes per day. Be sure and follow the directions. This will make sure your lumbar vertebrae are aligned. Riding this board is not a pleasant experience. Then, once you can ride the #1, go buy the #2 (after a month?). This will align your thoracic vertebrae. Be sure and use a large pillow while you lay on this. It's even less of a pleasant experience than the #1. Once you can keep your chin tucked and lift your head off the pillow, for me, that starts to align the cervical vertebrae. Being a male, do not bother with the #3. Only women can ride that one. If C1/C2 are out, go see a good chiro. If you're in the San Francisco area (somehow I have that picture in my mind for you), go see Lloyed E. Latch here: http://www.wellness.com/dir/3914590/chiropractor/ca/san-francisco/latch-lloyd-e-dc#referrer He is one of the best chiros in the world. If he's no longer practicing, see someone who trained under him. Also, look into buying a pillow like this: http://www.quill.com/basic-cervical-pillows/cbs/086972.html?cm_mmc=SEM_PLA_CB_086972 That's all I sleep on, for years now. Makes a huge difference for me. Think about upsizing to a 135, or even a 150. I jump a 150. PM me, let me know how you're doing. We are all engines of karma

I close my eyes when I do that

Yep, that's her. BTW, who was playing guitar in that video? Only the bass player... We are all engines of karma
