I'm guessing you did a reverse canopy turn? That's covered in the Category G portion of the SIM. Right above it, the performance turn entry is talked about. Both subjects indicate line twists can occur depending upon how aggressively the turn is entered, and will happen more often in a reverse canopy turn. It's all about center of lift and inertia. Unfortunately the center of lift thing is not really discussed as much as it should be. Brian Germain and I had a long discussion about it once. Next time you want to scare yourself a bit. Open high and pull the right toggle down aggressively and watch the left side of the canopy. As the center of lift transfers quickly to the right side of the canopy, the left side goes limp. The suspension lines droop backwards. Considering the inertia of you--the mass suspended under the canopy--it's reallllllly reallllllly easy to spin up the canopy. Slack lines=not a good thing. Now the slack on the lines will equalize as the center of lift moves back toward the center of the canopy and your weight increases from Gs, but you get the same thing leaving the turn, if you do it fast enough. Point being: enter the turns slowly and leave em slowly. That's why I now like carving turns (compensating with the opposite toggle to maintain the center of lift nearer to the center of the canopy) rather than hard toggle turns. That's also why toggle hooking is a scary proposition, since you have to start lower too. I guess my turning and learning point was jump #69, when I was just digging the shit out of reverse canopy turns. They never spun me up before on my silhouette 210 and I could actually get above the trailing edge of the canopy. I played with them from 7k right down to 2k when it twisted right up in three linetwists and a partial collapse. I immediately kicked them out, but hmmmmm, time for some reevaluation...

Maybe I am taking this the wrong way, but yer friend sounds like the textbook definition of an asshole (not a personal attack if they ain't a member). Sounds like he's either 15 or has the maturity level of a 15-year-old. If you have a SO, who you don't want around for most of your life experiences, seems to me you shouldn't be with that person. Personally, I want to be with someone whom I am comfortable sharing stuff--lots of stuff. I guess it also goes without saying, but making the person you say you are in a relationship with into the butt of a joke, for whatever reason (to impress friends?), is just wrong. Sometimes you have to view yourself as the other person to refresh your perspective of how you treat, talk to, talk about and act around (and act without) the person you build a relationship with. Like "How would I feel if she/he...(fill in the blank with what you were about to do or what you are currently doing)?" If you can't be comfortable with the answer to that question, seems you got some issues to work on and decisions to make. From what you relay, I guess the other problems I have with your friend are he's got no integrity, honesty or communication skills. He's talking to other people about a big issue and has yet to talk to her about it. I got a feeling if she knew what he thot, she'd be spinning tires half-way down the block from his house, and brakelights at the stopsign would be the last thing he ever saw of her. I guess this does hit a nerve, because it's something I hate (and I don't hate much). If you were the person he was talking about, that makes you the last to know--quite the unenviable position to be in. edit: damn linking verbs--there should be a button that changes them automatically when you change the subject to a plural. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

...as well as the consolation that I am not the only manic wanker out there. "Tough break for handjob. He was all set to get shipped out on a medical" "What was the matter with him?" "He was jerking off 10 times a day" "No shit, at least 10 times a day" "Last week he was sent down to da Nang to see the Navy head shrinker. Crazy fucker starts jerking off in the waiting room. Instant Section 8.

Not like happy in a giddy schoolgirl way, but yes, your candor has created a highpoint in my day. thank you! I hadn't thot about the parachutist ad. good call though. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

I think I would have to create another poll for that. Maybe that could be a subset to the overall study. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

Heaven forbid! Actually, I expected a little more conversation than what's been had so far--by ladies, gentlemen or hermaphrodites. I mean, damn, we're talking about masturbation here, by god! I guess that was the second part of what I was looking for: How openly will people talk about killing kitties. Maybe I am a freak after all. I do know that I am not excessive in how many kitties I kill, according to the most up-to-date results. hehee mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

Seeing the God Kills attachment got me to thinking about a conversation I had with a friend a little while back. How often does a "normal person" take care of business? So, I am posing the question (since the "what hand do you use" poll was already done). Consider this a behavioral experiment and y'all are my control group. BE HONEST! And, comment freely on this subject. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

Letter from a Marine to Civilians... Veterans....
mnischalke replied to rhino's topic in The Bonfire
Speaking of the flag, (it may have been mentioned but i didn't see it) was anybody else about to jump the fuck out of their skin when my fellow Marine placed our colors over the head of Saddam yesterday? Upsidedown! I thot I was gonna fucking have a heart attack. I am not that old, well, maybe. But still. I wanted to go there kick his ass and the ass of the person who handed him the flag, and the ass of the drill instructor who let such a dumbass cross the parade deck. Maybe he thot that was cool and patriotic and maybe someday they would put up a statue of him near Arlington National Cemetary, but I was just repulsed by his poor judgment. Oh, btw, no more flags are allowed to be displayed anywhere in Iraq since at least one other person in a position high enough to do something about it felt the same way I did. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills. -

I spent four years in the Marine Corps. I have also burned several American flags in my life. I will do it again, happily. Burning is the preferred method of dignified disposal of the American colors.

Bad Sebazz! You can't prebuy beer! Prebought beer is free beer and counts toward nothing.

Thanks for the update, Wildblue. It's refreshing to see a slug of a man squirm and shrink when the salt hit's his back. That fucker should pay out of his pocket for the repairs to the field, IMHO. On the other hand, Tom Ridge is a badass. I talked to him in Philly a few years ago and got the feeling he's truly a genuine guy and an anomaly in politics. My condolences to PA for losing him, but I think the country got a very good man in terribly tough position. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

LouDiamond! you never even mentioned anything about that piss-poor batman shot I posted on the weekend numbers. Bastard! Anyway, AR stands for Armalite Rifle. Civilian versions of the AR were introduced by Colt in the 60s and were called the Colt AR-15 Sporter. The Black Rifle: M16 Retrospective by By R. Blake Stevens and Edward C. Ezell is the definitive work on the AR-15. From it's roots as the AR-10 (.308) designed by former Marine Eugene Stoner, through the mid-90s, this book has it all. Another great pair of reads are online at Birth of the AR and Evolution of the AR. If you want to see who the original Lou Diamond was, go here. He was a certifiable badass. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

bwwwahahahahahaaaa. old enough to be your dad? I am 32. How old would that make you? Didn't spend much time in college either. I just don't like the term, ya know? That term perpetuates fear of something as lethal as any semi-auto hunting rifle. I can't get behind a catch phrase a bunch of people are using with the specific intent of taking my toys away. Mikie get mad with no toys. Mikie get very angry... Next time yer in VA lemme know, We can go shoot, then go jump out of planes.

Take a deeep breath with me. Ready one two three and inhale................now let it out. I wasn't trying to say anything about what you saw or what you thought he had. I was just trying to explain that you and I and lots of other people have AR-15s and they are not "assault rifles." Assault rifle was a term created by Hitler when the Germans built the MP-43. He called the rifle "Sturmgwehr" which translated means Assault Rifle. The moniker has stuck with full-autos ever since. The gun-banners have tried very hard to make semi-auto black rifles evil, so they adopted the name "assault rifle." Early on in the life of the M16/AR-15, they were simply named AR-15 and were full-auto due to military requirements. When adopted, the AR became the M16. Colt went into production with a civilian model later and reestablished the AR-15 name. Many were built in the full-auto configuration and are fully-transferable class III firearms. The original M4 was called the CAR-15 Commando which became the XM177E2, which was eventually phased out in 1970. The XM4 was successfully tested by the Army in the early 80s and was later procured and designated as the M4 carbine. (There are even 9mm versions out there, but lets not get into that now.) So, yes, I totally agree with you and could easily say he's holding an AR-15 from the avitar. The point being, I hate calling semi-autos assault weapons. Class, any questions? mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
