Greg Bailey master rigger at Richmond has one and jumps it every now and again. He offered to let this kid try it but his last 3 jumps it malfunctioned (slider did not want to come down) he landed it twice then on the last jumpt it was way too high and he chopped. So I just passed on that offer. Crazy looking canopy though. I have really enjoyed reading this thread. We are very fortunate to have jumpers like you to learn from!

I'm planning mine right now out of a C130

I figured you would say that which is why I used Cornell's site but you ignored that one. You are right some states have "married" gay couples but it does not negate the legal definition it simply shows a state redifined the word which is my point and I believe Kall's. I don't like the changing of the defined word either. I love that you use a dictionary as as source when dictionaries are now adding any word ever used including sland yet a legal definition as referenced by Cornell U is not valid? Anyway.... I really don't care this much.... I think homosexuals should have their rights but I guess these days nothing is sacred anymore not even language. Everything is up for interpretation right..... I hate post modernism. Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

The legal status, condition, or relationship that results from a contract by which one man and one woman, who have the capacity to enter into such an agreement, mutually promise to live together in the relationship of Husband and Wife in law for life, or until the legal termination of the relationship. Marriage is a legally sanctioned contract between a man and a woman. Entering into a marriage contract changes the legal status of both parties, giving husband and wife new rights and obligations. Public policy is strongly in favor of marriage based on the belief that it preserves the family unit. Traditionally, marriage has been viewed as vital to the preservation of morals and civilization. The free dictionary MARRIAGE - A contract made in due form of law, by which a free man and a free woman reciprocally engage to live with each other during their joint lives, in the union which ought io exist between husband and wife. By the terms freeman and freewoman in this definition are meant, not only that they are free and not slaves, but also that they are clear of all bars to a lawful marriage. The 'Lectric Law Library's Lexicon In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the word “marriage” means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word “spouse” refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife.

Not in the constitution, but it was culturally, socially defined that way. I'd even wager it existed in some sort of dictionary definition of it, somewhere, back then. Of course I have no way to prove that. Not by the constitution, it's not. Culturally, socially, it is. But that definition is already under debate, therefore it's a shaky "definition" at best (or the debate wouldn't exist). Many dictionaries already mention that there are more than one type of marriage (and I'm not just talking about homo vs hetero here). I am talking about the legal definition... like it or not thats what it says. That's not why it is under debate. It's under debate because a special interest group has the money to make it one. Just to be clear I am for homosexuals having the same rights as I have previously postede but I agree with Kall on this one.

I'm going to the whiskey.... no coke though just on the rocks

Which article of the Constitution did that? It only speaks to "free persons". Color is not mentioned anywhere. And which article of the constitution defines marriage? To the best of my understanding, the consitution does not mention marriage. Please correct me if I'm wrong. My analogy was never about the letter of the constitution. It was about the laws that are in effect today. 99% of which we know aren't mentioned in the constitution (like income taxes, speed limits, and a dozen others). You made this about the constitution, so if you're going to call my analogy poor because of the constitution, then please back that up. Otherwise, accept my analogy. I'm talking about the legal definition not the constitution. Citizen was never defined as a white man or person. The same cannot be said of marriage as a legal definition.

What is the proper way? What are the pros/cons of that way--other than the pro of designation deference? Simple - declare that all formalized unions between partners regardless of gender have the same rights under the law. Leave useful and descriptive dictionary definitions out of it. Then by this standard you are agreeing that a different word should have been used to describe a black as a citizen since a different word has to be used for gays? No, I think that is a very poor analogy for reasons already explained. The US is NOT the only English speaking nation, and sad episodes in US history should not usurp the language. We'll have to agree to disagree then and stop beating a dead horse because I think it's actually a perfect and great analogy, and is laterally equal in describing exactly what is doing on in this situation with another. I think you'd rather not like the analogy then admit that by your theory you would have to change other words in the past like "citizen." Even if you don't want to take that one example with citizen you can not tell me that there are ZERO cases where in the pass the definition of a word has not been changed in a similar situation dealing with human rights issues. It IS a poor analogy because nowhere in the Constitution, original or as amended, was citizenship denied to blacks. So claiming that "citizen" meant not-black is simply incorrect. So then where in the constitution is marriage denied to gays?? Ask Matt, it's his analogy, not mine. I've explained why it is a poor analogy. This has nothing to do with his analogy and has everything to do with your answer as to WHY it was a bad analogy. You said the reason it was bad was because "nowhere in the Constitution, original or as amended, was citizenship denied to blacks." So, with that reasoning you're saying that gays are denied marriage in the U.S constitution. I'd like you to link me to the section that says gays aren't allowed to marry. I don't think it's in there, which makes your reasoning wrong because BOTH of those things aren't in there, making them EQUAL and useful for an analogy. The "word" citizen was never defined as a white man and not a black man. Black people where considered property which is still sad to type but the word property did not change in definition either. Minorities simply moved catagories. Citizen never needed to be changed in meaning because it still meant the same thing. Marriage is specifically defined as man and woman. That is why the analogy makes no sense. Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

The legal definition is a union between a man and a woman so that is the meaning of the word outside of religion.

Please describe how something being of ancient origin has any bearing on its being right? As a scientist I'd expect better from you. Galileo got himself in trouble by bucking things with "ancient origin" in favor of reason. I'm talking about the meaning of an existing word. A word is not a right, so your reply is irrelevant. Here we have an existing word with a well defined meaning going back centuries being co-opted and changed by a special interest group. If we arbitrarily allow any group to change the meaning of words to its own liking, then language will become meaningless. It wouldn't have to be changed if bible thumping conservatives insisted on their beliefs having to do with law. I think you're harping on the wrong special interest group, IMO. That is incorrect although I love how you always go to that. Kall is stating a fact that words have meaning and changing the definition of the word is not the way to go about it. I don't think he is saying he doesn't feel homosexuals should have the same rights...... There may be a better way to go about it. It is just simple logic and putting value in language.

This thread isn't about what you could do, it's about what you should do. There is no replacement for using the right tool for the right job. I agree 110% as well as with your last statement but with my FF coach I learned how much a good suit with the right fit does help. I'm 6'3 200 I would say close to avg but with an advantage of wingspand. That being said..... in FF I found that the suit I bought helps me dramatically with more precision moves and docks and is the right tool for the job for my body. I just think it is as important as it was for me when I bought my RW suit. Both are amazing tools that have helped me in the air. I'm not saying you are flat out wrong I just think the right fit for a FF suit is just as important. You are the one with a TON more experience just giving my input with what I have done and what has helped me. Also..... I think when fisrt starting to FF a suit is not as necessary. Once a person gets to the level when they are docking etc. it then becomes crucial imo. With RW you start doing this right away. The OP should def. invest in a good RW suit.

Quote speed. That said, if you're going to buya suit, buy an RW suit. The fit is a little more important than a freefly suit, and the wrong suit can really hamper your RW progression.

Written by the hysterical guys at RUMINATIONS.com 1. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option. 2. More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me. 3. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. 4. I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they've invented the lighter? 5. Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk. 6. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger. 7. The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending a work email with the phrase "Regards" again. 8. Do you remember when you were a kid playing Nintendo and it wouldn't work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft. 9. There is a great need for sarcasm font. 10. Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the fck was going on when I first saw it. 11. I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone's laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I'm still the only one who really, really gets it. 12. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet? 13. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in. 14. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die. 15. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text. 16. A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it. 17. Was learning cursive really necessary? 18. Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say". 19. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger. 20. Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying. 21. Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart". 22. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said? 23. Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in' examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and said "Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse)...ummm...Goonies" 24. What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other? 25. While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart. 26. MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood. 27. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died. 28. I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water. 29. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever. 30. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired. 31. Bad decisions make good stories 32. Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if I do! 33. Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year? 34. If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible. 35. Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be a problem.... 36. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day. 37. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection. 38. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to fall after leaning your chair back a little too far. 39. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to. 40. I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There's so much pressure. 'I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?' 41. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damnit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away? 42. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste. 43. When I meet a new girl, I'm terrified of mentioning something she hasn't already told me but that I have learned from some light internet stalking. 44. I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes. 45. Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles... 46. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists. 47. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is. 48. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call. 49. I think that if, years down the road when I'm trying to have a kid, I find out that I'm sterile, most of my disappointment will stem from the fact that I was not aware of my condition in college. 50. Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to with it. 51. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time... 52. It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text. 53. I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit. 54. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than with Kay. 55. The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimate d that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself. There's nothing like being made to feel like a fat bastard before dinner. Happy Friday

Saints - I really think they were hurt especially on d twds the end of the season which is why they struggled but I do not think that will be the case. Chargers- I hate them! The Jets are not bad but they are not at that level and I do not think their Offense will produce against the San Diego D. Colts- My boys in Blue will actually make tackles unlike NE and their running game will not get 6-7 yard chunks in the running game. I don't care what Baltimore brings on D Peyton will beat it. Baltimore will kick field goals and the Colts will find the end zone! Go Horse! Cowboys- They have great momentum and are really playing well on both sides of the ball. Romo is playing damn good so I think they will play a more balanced game and control the clock with their running game. They are almost always 50/50 pass run. Very balanced.

No because that is BS. Why would that give an excuse to raise taxes? Do homosexual couples get the same benefit under the tax code as a heterosexual married couple? It was my understanding that they did. I could be wrong..... Giving equal treatment does not give the right to increase taxes. That is the problem with the govt. as they probably would see that as an option. I will say this very clearly...... I do not think they should be restricted from being "married" just so we are clear. It seems like I have said that but I'm still getting a bit of push back like I'm saying I think its wrong.
