Why does getting the bill feel like you just had a rectal exam.

I wonder if Sky Marshalls get screened.

Happy Thanksgiving. If you do not celebrate Thanksgiving, then just Happy. Thanks Mate, I needed a good laugh today.

Thats exactly what I was looking for. Thank You

I'll start there. Thanks

Does anyone have trim charts for PISA Skymaster Mains. All sizes.

Hi Emmie, there is some disagreement here on what would be an appropriate choice. I suggest calling UPT directly and getting their opinion. 386-736-7589

steering lines,3 canopys blown up,10line overs and the rest tension knots.and i never have packed the main in any of them!!! i get teh impression that the packers just dont like me. and here is to tempt fate,havent had a mal in 2.5 yrs and the last 1200 jumps Im seeing an interesting similarity. I have just about the same percentage of saves to repacks. Most of them are on elipticals. Some with Tandems.

I understand what she was asking. The fact of the matter is what you put in one, affects the fit of the other. Thats what I've found when repacking a reserve. When you put an appropriately sized reserve in the container and an oversized main in its container excess strain is placed on both.

The only thing I can think of is when bombed the US Embassy, he may have stepped across the US boundry to do it. If so, that would hve legally put him on US soil. It also may be the government's justification for holding the trials in civilian court.

I checked the UPT site again just to make sure I wasn't looking at the wrong info, The V310 shows a full fit with a Pilot 140. That would make the Pilot 150 a tight fit. The reserve says PD 143 is standard fit. So both together might make it a pretty tight fit for the 2. Have you bought your Pilot yet. You could consider the ZPX option to make it a bit smaller.

Welcome back. I took a 26 year layoff and came back in 2006. Statistically, the number of malfunctions per number of jumps has decreased. What has dramatically increased is the number of skydivers and the number of jumps those skydivers are making.
-
I don't think the PD 143 is going to work in a 310. The sizing chart on UPT shows 348 for that combo. The 310 would be very tight. That rig will feel like a brick on your back, not to mention you would be putting alot of unecessary strain on the container. I'd go with the Optimum 143. It does fly and land better than the PD reserve also.

I agree, there are drugs available in both locations.

Not sure what I was doing when he was assasinated. I do remember I was mad that my cartoons were preempted by the funeral. I was 4

Honestly, would you be happy about that decision if it were one of you family memers who was blown to bits in one of the bombings Of course not, but my anger would be directed towards the people that caused the information to be thrown out, by using torture. Since they consider themselves soldiers at war with us let the military conduct the trials.

Campus Concealed Carry likely to make a showing in TX this session

Good point. I was throwing the qualification thing out there as a potential "force multiplier," but its surely not a necessity or even a realistic requirement. And you're right: its not like you can say "yeah, you can carry on this campus, but only if you meet these 4 requirements.." sorta defeats the purpose right out of the box. Part of the deterrence aspect involves not knowing who or how many might be armed. Remember kids, "An armed society is a polite society." I agree totally with you. Don't get me wrong on the training issue. I believe everyone should be able to handle a firearm to get the permit, I'm just against making things more restrictive than they are. -
It's been done. Wanna go for 2nds???? JerryBaumchen No thank you, Im full

There's a reason that the law doesn't get made by emotional victims. OK, do you honestly believe that justice was served by this decision.

I I think you've made some valid points. One, the response of law enforcement often is inadequate. Not that they are unwilling, just ill prepared or overwhelmed. Also, they respond to incidents which have already taken place or are ongoing. So, even with a very efficient response they aare not going to be able to prevent many of the deaths in a mass shooting incident on a campus. The vast majority of the time they respond to anything, it is usually after the fact. A couple points of disagree is trying to establish some sort of skill level, for campus carry, above and beyond that required to obtain the permit in the first place. Another point about responding to the incident. A citizen with a permit is not a sworn officer of the law and has no duty to act in that situation. If a civilian happens to be there when the assault takes place and acts in defense of themselves or others, I understand. -

Just goes to show you just how meaningful the UN really is.

I've had rigs with them, the only benefit I saw is you won't have a pilot-chute in tow and it does make the rig smoother...of course I've never had a pilotchute in tow with a throw-out either. I thought about getting one on a rig I ordered a year back but read some logical comments against by Bill Booth and decided to go with a 'standard' throw-out. Im very interested in what Bill had to say. Would you elaborate. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=114198#114198 Thanks
