Question to kbordson. Typically how long is the typical length of time that it takes for a women to heal (max+min)? Also, are stitches needed for tearing of the perinium or is it only if levator ani or pelvic fascia are torn?

Ha! Stupid fuckers. http://youtube.com/watch?v=WCoVaeYHzWA I rest my case.... P.S-Actually, i am somewhat surprised at this video, as nothing that any american jumper has said on this forum has led me to believe that this is something that is universal to americans, indeed everyone appears to be well travelled etc. however the fact that some grown up people don't know the answers to some of these questions does surprise me...

Tanglefoot is good, but badger champion is better imho. Also love trappsit beers, really good. There is one that comes in a clay bottle, prob. one of my fav. morrisons is really good for real ale actually, four for a fiver! Bargin!! edit: it's the one in the middle http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en-commons/thumb/1/1b/150px-3_la_trappe.jpg

fish and chips with a pickled egg, mmmmmm

how can they do an efficient gear check when some dont even know how the 3 rings work Just a point on knowing about something and recognising a fault. I think it comes down to seeing money. Everyone knows what a 50p coin looks like (if your english, i guess 50c if your american etc.) but i doubt you will know the number of edges, perhaps the writing on it, or its exact layout, person on it etc. I think it is the same with a rig. You know what it is supposed to look like, so if it isn't you are able to say so. Just throwing out ideas.

Organs donated, if this can't be done (e.g-pickled to shite ) then donated so medical training for disection. When finished with, burn and shake baby!

One, but it was a waste of money, i knew i wanted to do aff before really, so don't know why i did, but hey, i'm here now!

fizzy drink Or by it's trade name, i.e fanta, sprite, etc.

What context are these said in? Edit: The deffinition given of blazer is the only one i know. It is a jacket, but usually is a kind of uniform, either at school, or in rowing people often have rowing blazers. I've once heard someone say a girl is flossy, basically means she is fine, but also bangable all in one, other then that i've never heard of it. You wouldn't normally say it infront of that person.

I love med school, it is awsome fun! Don't know what you are complaining about, i don't think the work load is that horendous, and it's nothing compared to actually working working, as in a job, not a holiday

Went to see this guy last week, he is my new most favorite comedian, he was even better live! http://youtube.com/watch?v=MbdNBy7gs0I

Randsom idea, but couldn't you wear a wingsuit? The lift you get at the speed that a jet flys may give you +ve lift, enabling you to clear the top of the tail of the plane. Essentailly flying over it and allowing the plane to overtake you underneath you. Quite some stunt and i would assume several hundread wingsuit flights needed. But i must say, when i first saw the question, it too struck me as a bit odd.

LOL, and how the %(&$ would you devise an experiment to prove this? You couldn't.

Just a reply to the original poster of this thread: I take it you have never worked in a hospital ward where a heroin addict has gone into arrest. It is not safe. Excluding the fact that i am yet to have a user on a ward i work on who does not have hepititus. If you trust the 50 odd people that have handled it until you pump it into your system, (brick dust and vim are 2 things that have been used to bulk out heroin) don't care that you will probably bankrupt yourself to try and pay for another fix great. I don't, and you would be a fool if you thought so. Off the top of my head i don't know the dangers of heroin on pregnancy. But the way that the statement was worded 'heroin is better than alcohol' sounds suspiciously like 'freediving with great whites is safer than BASE I could rant all day on this subject, but play with heroin, your stupid.

I posted a thread a while back with the problem of my parents HATING the idea of me jumping. I mean, sit down, long talks asessing my sanity, the whole thing. I ended up learning in my gap year so i funded it myself, but i still had several herdles to climb. I ended up talking through a load of safety features of a rig, misconceptions etc. (just to get them to sit down to listen about it was hard work enough) and in the end they still hated it. Nevertheless they have learnt to accept it as something i do and do not hound me for it any more. This said, i would never ask them for any skydiving related gift. Most importantly because i don't think it is fair, as if they did, and i went in, they could well feel some guilt over it, something i would never wish apon them. However this is just my opinion and do not condone them in any way. As for money, well, you could always get a job working as little as one evening a week, i reakon in a couple of months if that you would have enough for a FJC.

It is the little things that help out in putting on muscle, and i agree that it can be done thorugh own body weight excercise. I'm not sure exactly what would be needed for skydiving (if any really, although i'm not the best person to ask on this) but as a good strength work out, try this: Everyday, spend 20 mins doing the following you can build your way up to this), like do half or 1/4 of this and add 5 more every week) 3X50 chinnies=hands behind head so shoulders stick out, legs flat on floor, do a 'sit-up' so right elbow touches left knee (which is also brought up. thus body bends in the middle) before doing the same for left elbow and left knee. 3X50 pressups (again, to be worked up to, could start at 3x10 or something) 3X50 Squats (again can be started at 3X20 or something) 3X (some comfortable figure) pull ups if you have a bar could also be done, (but not after pressups).. Just remember that clasping the bar with hands over the bar or under it works different muscle groups so do both. You can also spend some time down the gym etc if you want to put on larger muscle, but Allen Wells (olympic sprinter) won golds just doing this regime, and he looks pretty big! I don't work out for skydiving, i do it for rugby, but if i didn't play rugby, i still would, more than anything just to avoid injury if i were to have a hard landing/opening, although i'm not sure if it would be nessessary. Edit: Oh and be sure to go for regular (3-4 x per week) 20min+ running, cycling etc. so as not to put strain on your heart. Work it into your lifestyle ,wake up 20 min early, do a body weight regime, go for a 25 min run in the evening for example, or even alternate between days. 30 min decent excersise a day is really good going.

I was taught, "look and grab right, look and grab left, arch, peel and pull right, peel and pull left, arch" or as i think of it, 'look, locate, arch, cut-away, reserve, arch" I know my instructor was saying that he was changing his to the two hands thing due to his small canopy size, however i am not going to have to worry about that for a few years yet.

Basically, at the moment, the only reason that circumcision is still wide spread in the US is because of tradition. People can try and BS their way to justify it, but there is no good scientific evidence to support this. In japan, from a young age, girls had their feet bound in tight shoes so that they had 'tiny feet', a fashionable tradition at the time. This was obviously quite unnecessary, and thankfully, japan became a more cilivised soicety and as such put away with this infringement of human rights. Here is to hoping...

I remember seeing some FS being done on a bsae jump, they actually made some points as well, really impressive stuff, but i can't find where i first saw this, does someone else know where i can find it?

What is the name of no. 2? I'm on the lookout as well, and it looks awsome! PM me or else just say!

In no perticular order: Scrubs House ER Prison Break Green Wing (english program) Smallville (hey, i know it's cheesy!)

So if i bought a rig in the US for say £1000, i would have to pay £200 in import duty? Sounds crazy!! Is their any way around this?

Thanks guys, how much should i pay a rigger to check it over, and other than shipping would there be any other charges?

Is it worth flying over to the US to buy a second hand rig to save money? I.E- After the exchange rate to US dollers (1.8 to 1 for the pound) + travel expenses, would i be getting better off value for money? I can only really aford £1400 ($2520)) so would i be better off just buying in sunny england? I konw that it is worth it for new rigs, but what about second hand?

well, i've only just started med. school this year but i plan to keep it up! How long this will go on for i do not know but hey, i can always hope! I don't see why i can't, even when i go into clinical years although no doubt i won't b able to go as much, however if i work hard in my holidays i should be able to keep ticking over! What year are you in at the moment?
