we did something like that when i was getting some canopy coaching at eloy..since we were doing a H&P we were sitting in the door on a load full of tandems...instead of getting up and doing a 'proper' exit we started to argue, fight then rolled out the door wrestling....the priceless moment was when one of the students said "those guys are going to fall out if they dont........" ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

you can see it from Black Mountain... but I'd guess its to far for a paraglider and you cant get to Black Mt. either unless you have the right clearances...

my favorite so seen so far... Cutaway: Ranch! Reserve: Dressing! guess what he eats on everything?

So the man doesn't have a deer. Leave him alone for chrissakes! no i could always use a dear, but apparently my compassion bit is broken so no one wants me... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

some of us were using seperators before then too D... mine will never change although my sig line might...2 beers to the first one who knows where mine comes from.. Heya Lolie! where yea been?? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

call me a heartless bastard if you wish, but i stand up and applaud when animals break the conditioning humanity attempts to impose on them... i'm waiting for the day an orca takes someones brat off the edge at seaworld just like they do seals in the wild....

oh... yea..we used to joke there was a reason all the old AWACs techs were going bald... but seriously i have been told by reliable sources that during the early testing of the radar a hardware store down the street from the test range called to say their lights were flickering, to which they were told "thats the power companies issue, not ours". Until it was explained to them that the lights in question were still on the shelves wrapped in cardboard... unless your climbing towers your REALLY not supposed to be on it shouldnt ever be an issue...so dont worry about the coppery taste in your mouth...it will go away... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

but be sure to check your gloves out on the ground in both your toggles and in your (usually smaller) dive loops.. I had a scare wearing neoprene gloves once where they bunched up and stuck as i tried to pull my fingers out of the dive loop... my favorite gloves so far are the nomex flight gloves..only i cant seem to keep a pair for very long.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

interesting....but i'd really really have to examine the 'escape' hatch... 15k of freefall while stuck inside a cylinder would rrrrrreally suck.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

heh, yeah i'm a little hard to miss sometimes....hopefully the weather cooperates...was lovely last weekend but i promised a friend i'd help him fix his roof......at least one day this weekend is going to be dedicated to Kapow unless the weather really sucks.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

infinity, heads down.....

like seeing that performed in english while i was in Seoul... RHPS in heavy korean accents....a really well done production in a major theater, but i was having trouble breathing i was laughing so hard.....it will never be the same again.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

not true. its what the sheep wish to buy to make their pathetic lives less miserable...the media machine feeds the desires of the masses, no matter how shallow... you've just realized (probably not for the first time and certainly not for the last) that you dont share their same values, or their lack of attention span.. have a quote from another band who only really sells to those who care..... Packaged like a rebel or a hero Target mass appeal To make an audience feel He really means it Package the illusion of persona Careful to conceal The fact that she's only too real She's got to screen it Hit you in a soft place A melody so sweet A strong and simple beat That you can dance to Watch his every move Superconductor Orchestrate illusions Superconductor Watch his every move Superconductor Hoping you'll believe Designing to deceive That's entertainment He can put a target on the market Bask in your applause Reality withdraws Now he believes it The role becomes the actor She's addicted to applause The stage a world because She never leaves it Hit you in a soft place With sentimental ease They know the fantasies That you romance to Watch her every move Superconductor She can manipulate reactions Superconductor Watch her every move Superconductor Pin the donkeys on her tail Fantasy for sale That's entertainment... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

i just LOVE it when people so far from harm make such glib statements that only endanger those doing the actual work.... very very brave words ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

last year when i was in Kuwait it was going for something in the realm of .55 a gallon. Granted there are still some serious transportation issues involved, but the mark up does seem a bit high.. the gas price charged could be higher because they are losing money on some of the other valuable services they are providing to the military.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

and there is the BASE jump in the National Geographic ad thats been playing on Quik mart monitors for a while.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

to the DZ...the clouds have cleared for the moment and there is no telling how long the break will last before the punishing rain comes in...(and its not cold enough to really snow yet damnit) been a long strange week and i am in great need of several doses of 13k

Once. More if you're lucky, and depending on how big your handfuls are. Does Xanax count? only if you really dont want to remember what you did and how you got those strange scars.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

as i've already said previously, take a quick look at the Jewish criteria for salvation and afterlife (such as they believe it, which is FAR different from what the Christians think happens when you die) and compare them to the Christian. Christian bibles translate the OT with the intent to make them align with the NT. The similarities are often manufactured or the result of misunderstanding the words in the context they are originally used in place of more modern usages and interpretations that give the appearance of continuity. For starters why don’t you look up the Hebrew word for ‘sky’ and tell me why Christian bibles use ‘heaven’ instead? Do the same with ‘hell’ oh wait, first you might have to find the Hebrew word for hell and research its contextual meaning too….continue on with ‘lord’ ‘Lord’ ‘divinity’ ‘spirit’ etc….its not hard to rewrite another religions beliefs when you translate them thru the filter of your own, but that doesn’t mean that’s what the actually believe, no matter how much you wish to pretend continuity. there are FUNDAMENTAL differences in belief and dogma the two, you can assert "the only difference is" but you'll have a very tough time backing that up with any sources (please try it should be fun to watch), but i'm not going to educate you if you cant bother to do your basic research first...perhaps you should spend some time in a Synagogue before you repeat the same tired line asserting that Christianity was not a fundamental break with Judaism. it isnt an 'evil plot' at all, its simply a misnomer, created and perpetuated by those who havent bothered to check the history and dogma of the two religions very closely.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

if you really believe that there isnt much point in discussing it with you because there are FAR more differences than that....do a bit more research and come back.... your 'genealogy' has some serious flaws... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Not an excuse, just the way I look at it. Skydiving doesn't make you bad, cool, or tough. Just as not skydiving doesn't make you a p@@@@. My rule for making those judgements is this: Would I tell them that in person? absolutely.. if your scared, say your scared, anything else is just an excuse... pretends to be big, bad and freaky and is still to afraid to make a single jump??? I can understand doing it once and saying its not for you, but never even trying?? please.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

pull up a chair and have a shot with me brother....i think get that exact punch thrown at me several times a day on occasion..... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
