If you really want to get into wingsuits, I'd suggest going to Elsinore. DSE has a great program there, so you might as well start there with AFF. "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Does that mean a 3 way is out of the question? Sparky You're horrible!! There's one way to find out. Sparky She hasn't said no. "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

+1 Most non-jumpers look at me funny when I tell them that skydiving relaxes me until I explain this to them. "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

This! Take deep breaths and relax. I know people with hundreds of jumps (myself included) who occasionally leave too early/late on an RW jump. If it happens, take a deep breath, get stable, and continue with the skydive. You're not going to be perfect every time. Even the world's top skydivers make mistakes sometimes. The fact that you have 18 jumps and are aware enough in freefall to notice any mistake you make is great.

Were there ever more than six of them? Well I was only thinking of the 100 that were on the Ed Sullivan Show. I knew about 001 more (Pete Best) .... But I completely forgot that Sutcliffe brings the number of additional Beatles up to 010 for a total of 110. Just proof that there are 010 types of people in this world.

I want to go out and watch the Geminids tonight, but am having trouble finding a place nearby that would give me a good view. I remember using a light pollution map that you could put in your location and it would list nearby dark spots, but its been a few years and I can't find it. Anyone know of something like that?

Yep! I used to work for an airline so I flew standby quite often. There were a few times where I'd get to my destination only to find out that all the flights home were full. I also have gotten stuck in a connecting airport. Nothing quite like sleeping in the airport and hoping to catch a flight the next day. At least if you are a paying passenger, the airlines will sometimes try to help you out if you get stuck somewhere.

But it completely ignored the relativistic effects when the limousine approaches the speed of light. (1 / sqrt( 1 - (v/c)^2)) I'm sure that's because it was travelling on Las Vegas Blvd. and traffic is terrible.

Yeah. It reminds too many people not to steal. Can't have that near politicians. "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Talk about a conversation starter... "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

again i don't understand why people twist and turn to make this ok, the fact is there not just "following criminals and being a witness for the police reports" if you have read any of the posts you would already know this. You can follow criminals and be a witness for the police reports all you like, that is not what is happening here as explained before. I think that you're the one twisting and turning this to make it not okay. Have there been some cases where they go too far? Yes, but pretty much every group has some individuals that go too far. But demonizing the entire group because of a few bad apples is pretty messed up. Its like saying that since some police officers have used excessive force that all of them are terrible people. If you read my entire post, you would have seen that I don't support them doing more than following criminals and being a witness for police reports. And you never did answer the question that I, and a few others, have asked. At what point have they enforced religious law? What if this wasn't a Jewish group? Would you have the same problem with them? What if they were a Christian group or an overzealous girl scout troop? Would be hearing from you then?

Aw, Thanks . . . again we disagree, but thanks. You are! All of the men here are all very handsome gentlemen! Im not Of course you are! I've seen your picture. Maybe he was referring to the gentleman part. "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Where does it say anything about the Shomrim enforcing religious law? To me it sounds like a neighborhood watch group that has had some instances where they've overstepped their bounds. And the ones who have used excessive force have been arrested for their actions. I would have no problem with a mosque organizing a neghborhood watch, so long as they didn't push their beliefs on me. If all you're doing is following criminals and being a witness for the police reports, I don't care if you're Muslim, Jewish, Christian, athiest, Pastafarian, or anything else.

I never encountered this when I was renting gear, but it could be different where you are. I would recommend that you buy one because then you don't need to worry if it comes with rental gear and you can get a used one at a reasonable price. And if the person you buy a rig from throws in an altimeter, then you have an extra one. "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I used to jump at Skydive Santa Barbara a lot and it is a good dropzone with some great people, but it is more of a tandem dz. I haven't jumped there much lately so don't what it's like now, but the drive to Perris or Elsinore is worth it if you really want to advance your skills.

I can't argue with that. "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Maybe the whole situation could have been avoided, but the British were willing to give up the land to create the state of Israel. I don't understand why you say the idea of a Jewish state is foolish. There are plenty of Arab nations. Most western countries would call themselves Christian nations. So why can't Jews have a single state that's smaller than New Jersey? Or are you against all religious states, in which case I completely understand your argument.
