Layton, I don't wear 'em, or glasses for that matter but do a search. A few people on here have already talked about their first times jumping in contacts. Some report difficulties judging the flair due to the change in perspective. I believe it was even reported that there was a noticable difference between wearing contacts versus glasses. From what I've heard, there is no problem wearing contacts under a good pair of goggles. You'd be perfect in a full face. Cheers, Nick My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

How is that possible?? Can you post the vid? Sounds nuts. I don't have a vid... swear I seen it though... he was the only one in the plane. Well, there could have been a camera man but I assumed the camera was mounted. You can't tell the plane is doing anything because the viewpoint is fixed... you just see a guy sitting on the bench at the front float out of his seat and start 'flying' towards the door. Then, gets 'sucked out' (It just looks that way 'cause as soon as he's out, hes GONE!) You ever hear of the Vomit Comet? A large plane that goes waaaaaaaaaaaaaay up, then the lights flash and it pitches into a dive. They refurbish it and use it to train astronauts to work in a weightless environment... You only get a small moment at a time though. Some of the Apolo 13 movie scenes were shot in the comet. Kevin, I can't see your vid to confirm if that's the one. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!! -
To true. The fact is, Canada is seriously looking to decriminalise. They actually did it a few months ago and it was absolutely legal to carry up to 15 grams (anything over that was subject to fines at the Officers discretion). The courts are sick and tired of seeing kids lives ruined and police time wasted. The act to decriminalise was reversed however for two reasons. 1) They had no system in place for regulation i.e. You can't toke and drive, but we have no official laws/repercussions or a way to test a driver for pot on the road. 2) We were threatenned that boarder-crossings between us and the U.S.A would be made more difficult and that trade agreements between the two would be altered. I'm pretty sure, however, that we will get our legal pot back and soon

I'm confused. Were Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson also installed by Preisdent Bush as Judges on a federal appeals court? I hadn't heard about it. I may agree with you that they have highly racist agendas but this thread seems to be about Charles Pickering. Let me check the thread title again.... yup "Bush INSTALLS Racist Judge" Al Sharpton? Jesse Jackson? Start a new thread and I'll hop in and watch... but just as two wrongs don't make a right, saying "These guys are racist too!" Doesn't really alleviate Mr. Pickering of Garys claims here. Just my $0.02CND, rant-over.

You know, I hear Mexicans think we're all very silly when we go down there and pop the lemon wedges down into the bottle. The reason the lemon (or lime) wedge gets stuck in the top when the beer is served is to keep flies away. You're supposed to simply rim the bottle with the juice to keep 'em away... guess we just started a new fad. I do think it tastes better with though. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

The more things change, the more they stay the same -Complete with "Cheese and Whine" comment (see post 11) Sure there are a few small abuses of the power -Locking the thread to claim the treasure Skybytch makes it clear who gives a shit -Give ya a hint... it sure ain't her Ahhh. I remember my first locked thread. -Some smart ass comment I made to rhino. I maintain to this day that no personal attack was made but... refer to the above link to see who cares.

Hasn't it been said that creating a thread simply to bitch about your last thread being locked was a waist of bandwidth and that these would be deleted? Didn't it go without being said before it was was said?. Shouldn't it go without saying now? My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Disclaimer: I fear not the repost police, let them do with me what they will. Should my post touch the life of one who has not yet seen it's contents, then I shall take my flaming knowing, 'twas not in vain. lol Read away, very funny: Queen Elizabeth and Dolly Parton die on the same day, and they both go before the angel to find out if they'll be admitted to heaven. Unfortunately, there's only one space left that day, so the angel must decide which of them gets in. The angel asks Dolly if there's some particular reason why she should go to heaven, whereupon she takes off her top and says, "Look at these. They're the most perfect breasts God ever created, and I'm sure it will please God to be able to see them every day, for eternity." The angel thanks Dolly, and asks Her Majesty the same question. The Queen drops her skirt and panties, takes a bottle of Perrier out of her purse, shakes it up, and douches with it. The angel says, "OK, your Majesty, you may go in." Dolly is outraged..."What was that all about? I show you two of God's own perfect creations and you turn me down. She performs a rude act of hygiene and she gets in. Would you explain that to me?" "Sorry, Dolly," says the angel, "but even in heaven, a royal flush beats a pair, no matter how big they are." > My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Good {{VIBES}} sent from Ontario. Here's to hoping for the best and even getting her in the air sometime in the near futur. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!! -
It was a wonderful tribute and it prompted a moment of reflection in me. I'm not downplaying it at all. However let me share a pet peeve of mine with you: Movies like this that say "This could be your house"... "This could be your daughter" to instil anger in us. My mind always wanders to images of the retaliation. And how different the captions are. There are more then two sides to any battle and everyone is somebodies child.

Why not? I've only ever had to be screened once in my number of flights and I set the detector off many a time. I had to take off my boots this one time and boy was I pissed (army boots). "Take off you boots and your belt sir." "It's not the boots, it's the steel rod in my leg." "Take off your boots and your belt sir." "I'm telling you it's not my boots, they're made of leather, could you please just use the wand to see? I'll show you my scar and everything." "Take off your boots and your belt sir." Oh well, one born every minute. Anyway, I digress. Other than this instance (and before the rod in the leg), It was always 1 pass. If I set it off I'd take off my belt and anything else that may have been the culprit and I'd go through again. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!! -

John, Here is my reply: If we are ever on the same load, and I am exiting after you, rest assured. So long as you don't track back along jumprun, you will not find me in your airspace in freefall OR under canopy. Cheers, Nick My Karma ran over my Dogma!!! -

Those two are one and the same.... if the plane is straight and level, then 45 degrees downwards of the horizontal is the same as 45 degrees upwards of the vertical... being that the difference between horizontal and vertical is 90 degrees total. Yes, they are saying that this is unsafe. The 'alternative' is to do what most people do in the first place and that's count seconds... add seconds if jumprun is into a strong headwind... remove seconds if the headwind is light/nil.
