True, but I have a son who is a complete angel. I never let him act out and he never does. My word is law, and if he steps outta line I bust his ass. Works great.

Look at it like a jump ticket to 250,000 miles. It costs a lot of rocket fuel and rocket ship to move that heavy stuff to altitude. If they coudl take it from the moon it would provide water, oxygen (electrolysis), and hydrogen for rocket fuel (electrolysis). edit to add: yes Im a dipshit that didnt read the whole thread before replying... here is the website for the mission: www.nasa.gov/lcross

welcome to skydiving!!

Woo hoo! One step closer to legalization! Maybe DZ.com will stop putting the partnership for a drug free america ads on the site? You know, the one with the big pot leaf? Pot isnt the problem in this country, it is meth, coke, crack and heroine..

Dunno... I just copied and pasted from google... Make up #1 and post it here!

Fox News contributor Karl Rove, who was the top political strategist to former President George W. Bush, said: "This is an administration that's getting very arrogant and slippery in its dealings with people. And if you dare to oppose them, they're going to come hard at you and they're going to cut your legs off." Karl Rove, the architect of the Iraq War, now valued for his input on fox news? "And if you dare to oppose them, they're going to come hard at you and they're going to cut your legs off." Coming hard at you like starting a war that has killed 5000 Americans? Come at you hard like outing an undercover CIA agent? This is really funny coming from Karl Rove - the Joseph Goebbels of the last decade...

" Propaganda must always address itself to the broad masses of the people. (...) All propaganda must be presented in a popular form and must fix its intellectual level so as not to be above the heads of the least intellectual of those to whom it is directed. (...) The art of propaganda consists precisely in being able to awaken the imagination of the public through an appeal to their feelings, in finding the appropriate psychological form that will arrest the attention and appeal to the hearts of the national masses. The broad masses of the people are not made up of diplomats or professors of public jurisprudence nor simply of persons who are able to form reasoned judgment in given cases, but a vacillating crowd of human children who are constantly wavering between one idea and another. (...) The great majority of a nation is so feminine in its character and outlook that its thought and conduct are ruled by sentiment rather than by sober reasoning. This sentiment, however, is not complex, but simple and consistent. It is not highly differentiated, but has only the negative and positive notions of love and hatred, right and wrong, truth and falsehood." "Propaganda must not investigate the truth objectively and, in so far as it is favourable to the other side, present it according to the theoretical rules of justice; yet it must present only that aspect of the truth which is favourable to its own side. (...) The receptive powers of the masses are very restricted, and their understanding is feeble. On the other hand, they quickly forget. Such being the case, all effective propaganda must be confined to a few bare essentials and those must be expressed as far as possible in stereotyped formulas. These slogans should be persistently repeated until the very last individual has come to grasp the idea that has been put forward. (...) Every change that is made in the subject of a propagandist message must always emphasize the same conclusion. The leading slogan must of course be illustrated in many ways and from several angles, but in the end one must always return to the assertion of the same formula." Adolf Hitler - Mein Kampf

Two words: peacock burgers! * 6. Good source of feathers to restuff those old pillows * 5. Place on floor in front of door in winter to prevent cold drafts * 4. Hang on post in front yard with Satanic message to scare off charity fundraisers * 3. Makes a fine punching bag for cardio-boxing workouts * 2. Use as basis for decorative headgear and watch amusing reactions from passersby

Yeah the car designers went to a DZ and it suddenly occurred to them that slowing down a body before impact was a good idea... Stretching the deceleration over a longer time frame from 60 to zero decreases the G forces on the human body.. Hence seat belts, air bags and crumple zones. Here is a car crash simulator.. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/Hbase/carcr2.html#cc2 you can plug in the numbers for skydiving.. A person burning in at 120mph goes through 42 tons of force (96,341 newtons) on the body with a stopping distance of zero.. So if you have a no pull and land on concrete for example. If you spread that deceleration over a 2 foot deceleration (landing on two mattresses for example) the force on the body is decreased to 24 tons (48,170 newtons). For a deceleration of 800 feet the force on the body is 0.0602 tons (120 newtons). According to an internet article I found "8000 Newtons max would be suitable for body weights in the range 100kg to 140kg." Survivable Impact Forces on Human Body Constrained by Full Body Harness http://www.hse.gov.uk/research/hsl_pdf/2003/hsl03-09.pdf 8000 newtons of force is equal to spreading out the deceleration over a space of 12 feet. This assumes a 200lb jumper traveling at 120mph decelerating at a force of 8000 newtons. This results in a force on the body of 8028 newtons or 4 tons of force. This takes into account a 5% chance of injury.. Not too bad. The physics apply to old cars as well as skydiving.

Triage is a bitch. Buuut... It does make sense to save the people you CAN and unplug the ones you can't. Since swine flu season is even milder than normal flu season this year it won't come to the drastic measures that they are planning.,,

I downloaded demos of canopy glide and the landing software to just play with it and both versions crashed on my laptop. One made my computer run so slow it became unresponsive for about 5 minutes. I am running Vista Ultimate Super Duper. My impression is that there is still work to do with the product. Great idea though

4 eggs in a pan, cook em till they are 80 percent done, add in 3 teaspoons of green chile, salt and pepper. Let the eggs finish cooking. Add a half a handful of shredded cheddar. Stop the fire and let the cheese melt. Mix it all together and put in a tortilla. Breakfast burritoes are awesome any time of day!

Bill Clinton also sent Tomahawk cruise missiles after Bin Laden at the same time the Monica Lewinsky case was killing him in the polls. Ever wondered if we created Osama for who he is today???? Muslims praise anyone that get a reaction out of the West. yes Clinton launched missiles at bin laden but it wasnt related to lewinsky. And yes we created the mujahadhadeen (sp) when they were fighting the russians in the 80s

I got a 10 gauge in my nipples. It hurt but not enough to bring tears to my eyes. It hurt more than a tattoo but the pain lasts much less in terms of time. Piercing my tongue hurt less than nipples but I had to remove it. good luck

Agreed. Cliff, stop drinking the bongwater.

Sports Slap the mag Pull the t handle Observe the chamber Release the t handle Tap the forward assist to seat the round Squeeze the trigger and light em up. I been out for 15 years and I still remember that. I was in a combat MOS so maybe I was trained more aggressivly. Dunno. Wasnt she a truck driver? I remember that the training for drivers and cooks was aimes more at driving and cooking and not towards combat because they were expected to be out of harms way in the rear. That being said, People can get brainlock in stressful situations. It has happened to me. Additionally, she didn't ask for the publicity. this was a Karl Rove propaganda effort to drum up support for a war that was losing popularity. I dont think the true facts will ever be known. Im just glad the SF saved her ass. Brainlocking during an ambush isnt a capital crime, although it can get you killed.
