Yes, there have been people that have landed in the vineyards there. I did AFF there and was told that if I had nowhere to land but the vineyards, I had to make sure I landed in line between the rows!!

In Reply To It has been shown that plants react to threats and danger. Maybe we shouldn't eat them either. In Reply To Ya, they react, by sending chemicals into the air for other colony mates to prepare for invasion of a different species, seasons changing, etc. This has nothing to do with the pain an animal suffers in the event of a slaughter. Plants lack a nervous system, thus lack the nervous system firing of pain receptors. Even animals with a rudimentary nervous system can feel pain. Comparing plants and animals in this situation is conceptually incorrect. As is basing an opinion of an entire industry on the practices of a very small percentage of that industry. Quote Its not conceptually incorrect if it IS happening in the meat industry, which is what we are talking about. Animal cruelty is taking place in the meat industry as we speak. It doesn't matter that its only a 'few' places, it matters that ITS HAPPENING. Correct me if I'm wrong, but how many poultry farms actually give their animals room to peck at fresh ground, spread their wings and walk around uninhibited, instead of standing in massive piles of shit and urine for the entirety of their life? And don't even get me going about the fact that their beaks get sawed off so they don't peck at each other or themselves or their eggs. Poultry industry, beef industry, pork industry, it doesn't make a difference what kind of animal it is, many of them are being treated cruelly throughout the entire process, are they not? I think its so easy to turn a blind eye to it because we don't see it. And because its not broadcasted to everyone who buys a chicken breast or a t-bone at the store, we are emotionally unattached, thus more likely to not care. But the fact is, MANY mass producing farms do not treat their animals humanely. Did anyone happen to see the undercover video that came out from the KFC chicken farm? For me, it was not hard to become a vegetarian. My distaste for the treatment of these animals outweighed my love for meat. For the last 2.5 years, I have not craved meat ONCE. Sure, its good, but I feel good knowing that something did not have to suffer, whether it be in life or death, for me to eat. Call me a granola, call me whatever you want, I am none of those things. This is not about trying to convert people, I am just telling everybody what makes me feel good personally.

I have been to a couple places that resemble the one at Yuma you mention. Fortunately they are the exception. Quote You've already seen a couple? As in two? ten? twenty? Even a couple is too much, and that tells you that if a single person has seen more than one place like this, how many others are there, just like those, that are out there that you HAVEN'T seen? I would gather that they are more numerous than you think.

[replyI did. What they conveniently left out was that those cattle are ALREADY UNCONSCIOUS OR DEAD before their throat is cut. Ever hear of a captive bolt stun gun? It shoots a stainless steel rod several inches into the brain causing massive damage to brain tissue instantly. But, like I told Bill, don't take my word for it. Go see for yourself. Have you ever seen the interview of Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Eating Animals? He contacted many of the big output meat farms to see if he can get a tour, and not a single one would grant him an in house tour, instead, they would not return his calls and even hung up on him. What does that tell you? Any other food plant gave him tours no questions asked.

This is exactly the reason why I am a vegetarian, and will be for the rest of my life. I refuse to financially support the U.S. meat industry for this reason. (And, because not eating meat makes my body feel effing fantastic). If people had half a clue what was going on behind slaughterhouse doors, they would be utterly shocked. I agree with the OP in that there needs to be a MUCH more proactive push on getting this information out to the public. Also, just because your beef or eggs say 'Free range or cage free', that does NOT necessarily mean their living conditions are better than caged animals. Most 'cage free' poultry are packed in so tight on concrete floors that they cannot spread their wings. I AM NOT on a vegetarian rant, but I do hope that people really understand what is going in meat industries. And, if you continue to eat meat, you support farms that are ecologically and ethically conscious.

I have my personal statement for medical school if you want it....Its a personal statement on steroids No, but really, (I think) it has everything that should be in a personal statement. If you want it just let me know. Your statement should not be dodgy, or scattered. It needs to flow and be succinct. Unfortunately, the length requirement of them doesn't let us say all the reasons we want to go down that future life path, but if you let them know who you are any why you are the one for the position versus every other applicant (i.e., why you stand out), that is a good start.

Also, the phrase 'Saved by the Bell' originates from reviving the dead. They used to tie a bell onto the dead person's finger with a string that was placed outside of the closed coffin. If the bell sounded anytime before the burial, it was because the person inside was still alive and moving. Hence the term' 'Saved by the Bell'

So just because thats the statistic, it makes it right? I'm not oblivious to how often it happens, I'm just disappointed that it is the way it is. I just hope that when I get married, I don't ever have to suffer the humiliation and disrespect of somebody being unfaithful to me. I certainly will never inflict that hurt on my future husband.

Thats fine if you want variety. Just like Rodney Carrington said, 'i like green M&Ms, I just don't want them every day of the week' Then remain unmarried. Know yourself enough not to hurt another over your actions. And if you looked at my post, I never said more men cheat than women, I said I'm tired of the act of cheating in general.

This thread has gotten me all riled up, but that made me giggle And for the record: the appropriate ranking of cool modes of transportation is jet pack, hover board, transporter, Batmobile, and THEN giant ant. D.S. #8.8

Ya, thats just what we need, to make a wrong situation even more wrong. Don't get me wrong, if somebody cheated on me, my first thought would be to bash their head in. But would I do it? No. As hard as it is to walk away, it will make me the better person. Personally, I am so sick and tired of hearing about people, regardless of their class status, cheat on their significant others. From Tiger, to Desperate Housewives, to 48-hours Mystery, to the guy you know down the street, it is shoved in our face 24 hours a day. I don't know if people become 'desensitized' from hearing about it so much, or its just plain disregard of their conscience, or what. But, shockingly, too many people think that it is okay. If you honestly think its okay to cheat for any reason, you need to get your head checked. Due to my biology nerdiness, I always joke that the 'conscience gene' has somehow, somewhere been deleted from the human genome. Not true, but it seems to be a disappointing trend. In many cases, infidelity seems to stem from an unhealthy or unhappy relationship, which, IMO, is where the 'fixing' should have been done in the first place.

I did AFF in Lodi in March. I never felt that it was an unsafe dropzone as far as AFF goes. Will, my AFF instructor, was absolutely awesome, safety conscious, and patient. Since I've been jumping there, EVERY single employee there has helped me in some way or another. Bill has, on more than one occasion, take time out of his duties (even on BUSY days), to sit down with me for 20 or 30 minutes to go over some gear thing, or RW thing, etc. If you have any questions about Lodi AFF, feel free to PM me as well.

[replyReason #1 why guys should not get married! THERE IS NOTHING IN IT FOR YOU! Sure she may be fun and kinky now, she says yes and eats one bit of that cake and you have blue balls for life! And worse yet she has you by the balls! Just look at Tiger Woods! Good guy! Nice guy! Clean cut! Good looking! Make good money and for all we can tell is a stand up individual.......he is what women call a catch.....yeah...and his wife desired him so much he was getting some left over low class tail on the side......because the dog needs to eat! and if the dog can't find any food at home the dog is going to go find food. And guess what boys.....and girls.....guess who wins in all this? Tiger? FRACK NO! Here is how it went down. She cut him off....no more loving....she rather shop.......after all he didn't understand HOW LITTLE SEX WOMEN NEED! So poor Tiger still working hard (how many holes did he play with a broken leg?) still pulling in money decided to "talk to her" To which she replided MEN DONT UNDERSTAND HOW LITTLE SEX WOMEN NEED! and went off and spent $10k on a fracking hand bag! So poor Tiger did what any dog would do...got some on the side. Bitch hit the fan and then hit him. Poor guy all he ever wanted was loving. But now he's sitting in a busted up hooptie watching 50% of his value go with that bitch! Like she did anything to deserve it! Really? So she is cause of his infidelity because you know for a fact that she has a low sex drive and denied him? Wow. Yes it is true 100% of the time that wedding cake causes low sex drive in women, thus ruining the marriage. I can think of no married couples off the top of my head that this has not happened to Way to pigeonhole the woman on this one. For all we know, the marriage is failing due to BOTH of them. But, ultimately, HE is the one that screwed...how many was it....more than SIX women?? On another note as a general comment to the thread-It is NEVER right to cheat. It is NEVER right to use violence. For heavens sake, have respect for yourself and your partner. Stop using your sex characteristics as an excuse for infidelity (this goes for men AND women) and act like the decent human being you were raised to be.

Hello from a fellow Lodi AFF graduate! I did AFF there in March. When you start packing for yourself, you can probably alter your pack jobs, i.e., rolling noses and whatnot to slow your opening and lessen the impact on the body.

Thats awsome

Joey, I have a Jav and I do the MIDDLE locking stow first. Your lines will naturally 'go' to the right or left due to the way you stowed the first stow. So, if the lines are headed toward the left, do your left locking stow. (and vice versa if they are toward the right. Then, continue to stow on the last vacant locking stow. Hope that makes sense.
