Diabetic type 1 diagnosed at 9 yrs. of age and have been injecting insulin daily for 52 yrs. Logged 2,880 jumps. Skydiving concerns? Always have food to eat, check blood sugars before making a jump and make time for eating if low, carry glucose tabs in your jumpsuit pocket, make sure dz owners & staff are aware of your diabetes. I cannot expand on any negative issue regarding type 1 diabetes and skydiving- eustress. : a positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being.

26 yrs. with my partner in life when he started reading JW bible, started studying with JW's and he did eventually get baptised JW. As we were common law he wanted to get married in the JW hall, and then we could serve Jehovah together. re: "well yolked." I had so many questions about his organization he could not answer re: you do not question anything about the organization because it is god's organization on earth, you do not dare question god's organization. I spent 2 years trying to understand JW teaching before leaving him. He had changed so much it terrified me...he could no longer reason, he could no longer share how he felt,...always was what he had been taught. I could not take being witnessed to....I was not raised with religion, have always followed my instinct- eustress. : a positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being.

My MP also responded the same day with: I replied back asking him for information regarding the recent annual conference that the unaminous vote was made -re: date and location -as all I could find searching online was a "international conference." I also contacted Chief Coroners office in B.C. requesting the same info. (date and location) In the published Gazette it states Summer 2007. So- now waiting for replies- re: was this a "international conference of coroners and medical examiners?????? SMiles Re: quote from cspa chat

Re: Are you suggesting you attended the meeting I refered to?? A Parachute Training Risk Assessment Committee was assembled at the request of Manzur Huq – Director, General Aviation (Transport Canada) regarding NPA 99-148 were directed to review NPA 99-148 and determine if it addressed the risks in skydiving, and identify residual risks attributed to the NPA. This committee consisted of the following representatives. Rick McFarlane Transport Canada – System Safety Wayne Harper Transport Canada – Special Flight Operations David Dixon Pacific Region – Technical Input Ian Flanagan Canadian Sport Parachute Association Gerry Harper Canadian Associates of Professional Skydivers Dr. Graeme Dowling Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, Alberta Al McGee Department of National Defense Tony Pleasants Transportation Safety Board The above panel of experts extensively reviewed the proposed NPA and specifically agreed and recommended against enacting this regulation. They proposed a “Non-Regulatory solution with an Education Program and Advisory body”. Their investigation showed that this form of regulation will provide little to no benefit in safety to participants or to the general public. The reasons for this determination are that Transport Canada lacks sufficient knowledge of the skydiving industry to properly understand and enforce its rules and standards. ------------------------------------------------------- SMiles

Could you reply with your knowledge regarding CSPA vs CAPs bullshit /why the feds are getting involved? Are you suggesting that the sole reason for fatalities is due a CAPs operated dz or the actual operators? I do not understand your reasoning as CSPA operated dz's also have fatalities, There is more than 1 CAPs operated dz in Canada. If one dz has fatalities regarding training first jump students does that mean all CAPs dz's are having fatalities due to them being CAPs operated? I am aware a CAPs dz Skydive Ranch in Calgary, Canada -was training high number of students (over 60,000- largest trainer of 1st. jump students in the country) had fatalities leading to Coroners Inquest/ Criminal Court. CSPA dz's have also had fatalities that have no where near the number of first jump students trained. Skydive Vancouver is a CAPs operated dz in BC for over 10 years and they separated from CSPA due to the fact CSPA at the time was not against government regulation. Do you feel that due to being CAPs operated that this dz is causing feds to be getting involved? DZ operator Gerald Harper (Skydive Vancouver) was present at the Parachute Training Risk Assessment Committee at the request of Manzur Huq – Director, General Aviation (Transport Canada) regarding NPA 99-148, and and recommended against enacting this regulation. I understand the procedure in the case of violent accidental death is the same in every province in Canada. Also that CSPA dz's have also had fatalities leading to Coroners Inquest/ Criminal Court. The Medical Examiner can refer file to the Chief Medical Examiner/ call an inquest (fact finding courtroom held in front of Provincial Court Judge) The presiding judge at the inquest has responsibility to: #1 sift the evidence presented to his court and make final statement of the FACTS that aggregated, define the death. #2 to make constructive suggestions to relevant agencies if he feels that he sees something that might prevent similar deaths. No part of the inquest process is allowed to be a means for anyone to voice opinion regarding the death, or to determine culpability with respect to the death. He is not suppose to make any recommendations that could be read as undermining the authority of any governing body (TC, CSPA, CAPs) That is the responsibility of the press, police, and if there is enough probable cause- a criminal court.

sigur rós hail from iceland, and rightly claim to bring you the beautiful landscape of their homeland with their music. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xqbge_sigur-ros-untitled-aka-vaka_music political activists?...gut wrenching message.. ...this music video shows a post-apocalyptic world in which children, attending school, get ready to go outside and play in the nuclear snow. The children, after putting on many layers of clothes as well as ominous gas-masks, go outside to play. The play of the children is characterized by fun, and destruction of the old world from which they came. The final scene shows a little girl breaking her gas mask and dying in the nuclear snow, finally seeing the world for its true beauty outside of the glass confines the children have been forced to use. http://www.youtube.com/ today sigur rós has taken over the front page of youtube for the day. the band will take over all twelve slots on the sites home page and the centrepiece of this will be “heima” in full. this is the first time a full-length music documentary is available to view on youtube. other clips i luv... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okLCurB1lJw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDxMQaMqsig SMiles

#1 reason where i come from has been relationships/marriage/family. i just got a call from skydiving buddy who met his gal (pilot)- brought her out for all of us to meet and enjoyed her company- she seems totally cool about the sport around us & him then she started dropping him off to skydive while she went elsewhere and then picked him up "at the gate" re: wouldn't even park in the parking lot..... then- he tells us all she gets too worried when he is skydiving= then we don't see him anymore.... now he is sending out wedding invites.... When I ask why he is mailing them- why not come to the dz and hand em out?? Reply: too busy- i have only logged over 1300 jumps in 20 yrs.- but enjoyed the hell outa every one.... now the boyz are raised and it's empty nesting time- at last there is balance in my life to actually log skydives.
