I have a suggestion to change the primary system. Republicans will have to participate in the democrat primary. Democrats will have to vote for republican primary candidates. Independents can vote in both. Maybe then we will get representatives that actually represent mainstream america. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS WE CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

The looters are choosing to act in a 3rd world manner, I have no qualms in dealing with them in the same way. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

I don't like her. I don't like the extreme left wing people in government either. It would be great if we could swing our representatives back to the center! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Sparky, don't be so smug! Do you realize you with a cessna the planes jump run speed can be signficantly slower. And yes these deployments started with a typical subterminal deployment behind me and into the relative wind and then ended up over head streamering with the exact configuration above me that I described earlier as I came off the hill. I was under the canopies. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

This is a good thread. I am going through the process of getting my strong rating right now. I will say it is quite the transition going from a 100 sq foot canopy and its flare timing to these big tandem canopies. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

In CT we jump every weekend that the runway is clear of snow and ice, and they plane can get to jump altitude without icing up. No different than skiing, dress for the cold, and remember you need to be able to operate all your handles easily. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

I have actually experinced wrap lock myself with one of the canopies I used to own. It was a PISA Hornet 170, the canopy was made of the tacky gelvanor south african ZP, and the slide had the larger size brass grommets. It was out of trim and opened hard so for a while I was rolling the some of the nose cells, tucking them in to the two center nose cells, and rolling the shit out of the tail. I had several instances with subterminal openings where the canopy would come out of the bag, get to line stretch but would be hanging above me with the tail still rolled like it was back on the packing mat. I would then have to pull apart the risers to get the tail to unwrap to clear the "wrap lock" streamer. I stopped wraping the tail as much and the problem went away. I think the wrap lock was a combination of sticky gelvanor zip, larger slider grommets that I suspect were keeping the wrapped tail locked up, and subterminal openings without enough initial drag to peel the wrapped tail apart.

Looook out the bankers are coming the bankers are coming!!!!! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Running a large multi state multi national organization is not a skill most people posses. You have to pay for that kind of talent, or you get substandard people in that role. Who would want to run a corporation or a large nonprofit for 90K a year? I wouldn't keep the money, not even close to the amount of effort involved. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

What would be appropriate if they were burning down your house, business and general livelihood. I guess you are just going to sit there and scream at them while foaming at the mouth. TRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICKKKKKKKLEEEEEE. reeeeeeePUBICtarrrrrrDDDD. KOOOOOOOOOOOOCK BROTHERS. DEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIP DERRRRIIIP That might actually keep them away from your stuff! Sounds scary. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

No, we are on the monopoly money game system that uses the electronic debit card. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Trade union in my town has several million dollars of property and buildings. I would estimate it around 50 million or so. They don't pay a dime in property taxes to the town. Neither do other non profits, private universities, etc etc. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Your going to do what ever you want, but I would wait a bit longer than your AFF jumps so you can build your eyes and your internal clock before you add an audible. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

What ever you say Mao. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

They don't lack adrenaline. They lack parents that are worth a damn. They lack community that teaches respect for other people and for the value of hard work. They don't need a hug, they need a boot on their neck because they are worthless thugs. None of them would have the balls on their own to confront and look in the eyes of the people whose lives they destroyed. Cowardly little shits. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Wow... your all so partisan it is rediculous. None of you can see that it was a long road that got us here. It took two political parties to get us down that road. It took the american society sitting quietly in the back seat. Socialism, the military industrial complex, our societies focus on price over quality, financial deregulation, credit hungry fraud homebuyers, there are a huge number of things that lead to this. It has brewing for a looooooooong time and the hammer just happened to fall now. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Why create value when you can siphon off some one else. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Ever hear of systemic risk? Ask Germany about how great it is to share a currency with other countries with drastically different economies. Why don't we disband all governments too. We can let the UN govern. Fuck this soverign state idea. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

More of the same. Cry about it on the interweb with endless nonsense posts about bankers that reak of petty jealousy and socialist bullshit. Go do something of value, go create a business, go hire some people. Go get your own bonus, you can earn it with as much virtue as you see fit. But don't ask any banks to help you on your way. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Those white kids should hang, violent racists regardless of color should be locked up or turned into soluent green. Do you see anything in the article talking about how the boys came from a broken home where their father was locked up in prison? Or that they grew up on the wrong side of the tracks and dropped early out of school? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

I bought one for 100 bucks. I sold it with a dolphin container for 450 or so bucks. Not worth a whole lot. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

I have fit as small as a 117 (regular ZP) in a I5 with some drastic shortening of the closing loop. It still had decent tension on the closing loop, but it was getting pretty soft. I think an I5 is an excellent first container choice. Put the smart 175 reserve in there so you have something nice to land in someones small backyard after a chop. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

I dont disagree entirely, but that is only true if a true solution is at hand. If your extra effort is all for nothing, and the real problems aren't going to be fixed, then you should fight the extra effort at all costs because you won't reap any benefit from it. The kids should do everything possible to leave instead of busting their ass if mom and dad can't get their shit together. If you don't fix the real problem with social security and medicare I will resist and resent any tax increase because in the end we will still be in the same mess. I would take a 15 to 20% increase in my Federal taxes if it part of a meaningful plan that left us solvent in the near future. I would give up any claim to social security or medicare even. But my tax increase will not be paired with medicare or social security reform. It will be matched up with BS accounting tricks, cutting around the edges, and other nonsense. You want me to really sacrifice, come back and see me when the sacrifice is shared. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

In my analogy it was the teenage kids that have to shoulder the burden of their dumb ass parents. I tried to keep the analogy mixed between female and male stupidity. If we switched back to your analogy, where the wife was driving the families finances off the cliff, I think the husband should get the second job, but only after asking the wife to get with the program. If the wife doesn't get with the program he should get a lawyer. You don't really have that option as a taxpayer who intends to stay in the country do you? Now we can see how silly equating a family to the federal government is. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
