QuoteUmmm...you do know that your flag is hung backwards, right?
"The rule is that when a flag is hung vertically the honour point (i.e., the top-left hand corner) should still be at the top-left. This means that most flags rotate 90 degrees and are then turned over. For example, the US flag has to be reversed to keep the canton in the top-left."QuoteSince we're on the subject of proper display of the flag. Why does the Army put the flag on their right shoulder, with the stars in the upper right corner ? It seems backwards, but there is probably a reason.

QuoteConsidering how often these two books are talked about, remarkably few people have ever read either... I myself have many times meant to do so but I've never quite gotten around to it... I bet if you watch the two videos below, you will be interested *and* surprised by what can be found in each... Both are excellent speakers who bring up very good points, and they do it with a touch of humour to boot
This link examines The Bible: A Christian Letting Go of God. (Bit long, but hang in there - it's worth it IMO.)
This one looks at the Koran: An Agnostic Jew Examining The Koran.QuoteWow, that was long. I watched the whole vid though, just to see how it turned out. I thought my neighbor Janet could talk alot, but this woman can gab all day.
Funny and so right on the money....People should watch the Koran vtd first...less than 10 minutes.Life is short ... jump often.
QuoteQuoteScience has shown Solar Flares around that time or a little sooner, that could knock out the power supply and communications for awhile.
Of course, solar flares happen every day and this is a possibility -- EVERY DAY.QuoteOn Dec 21, 2012, we " will " pass thru the plain of the Milkyway.
No. We won't.QuoteWill this reverse the poles ?
No.QuoteThey have reversed in the past, according to science. ( See Magnetite ).
But not for the reason you've stated.QuoteWill life end on Earth and then start again.....who knows.
I do. It won't.QuoteI'm sorry I took so long to get back to you. Here are a couple pages on the subject by someone smarter than I am. Please take the time to read thru both pages fully. You need to click on "continue" at the bottom of the first page to get to the second page. I'm not one to say the world is ending, and never did. This is one of thousand of people who know more on the subject than "us".

I'm amazed at how people will drive by large (20" x 15" ) US flags laying in the streets and gutters after July 4 and Flag Day etc....I have at least 3 that I have stopped to pick up after literally thousands of cars have driven past. Not cheap plastic flags. Nice cloth flags. If I can see them, they can see them. They have fallen off cars and bikes of the Americans who wish to fly them, but when they get away, somehow they aren't worth going back for. I'm not concerned about people burning the flag. A worn out flag is supposed to be burned. But why am I the only one of thousands to stop and pick them up out of the street ?Life is short ... jump often.
If you are half way thru AFF, you should be able to bang out the rest in two more days. When you get to Hawaii, you might only need a good coach to jump with. Call them today and ASK.Life is short ... jump often.

Take an Astronomy class. We will pass thru ( actually, be in the center, on our way to the other side ) of the Milkyway. There is nothing mystical, or scary about it. Just science. The Earth isn't flat by the way.Life is short ... jump often.
QuoteThere is a good-sized boogie that weekend in Georgia. It's gonna be real trippy to be doing a 16-way and all of a sudden 4 people dissappear in free-fall.
QuoteI believe people dissappearing during a formation would be considered a " point ", so make sure to count it. Science has shown Solar Flares around that time or a little sooner, that could knock out the power supply and communications for awhile. On Dec 21, 2012, we " will " pass thru the plain of the Milkyway. Will this reverse the poles ? They have reversed in the past, according to science. ( See Magnetite ).

Minimum tread depth on tires is like minimum opening altitudes....right now your son is just reaching for his pilot chute at 1000 ft. . Buying used tires ( which are sold almost wore out ) brings his PC pull altitude to around 1800 ft.....still too low. Hopefully he has an AAD......Get new tires and make him pay for them. What ever happened to kids leaving home at 18. Me and my friends did. ( I'm 50 now ) I also drove around on alot of bald tires.
Sorry about your friends kid.Life is short ... jump often.
Doesn't look too slow......just right.Life is short ... jump often.
A question would be, is a canopy or wingsuit the "vehicle" that falls into the weight class ( without the pilot weight )........then we're in trouble.Life is short ... jump often.
I'm starting to understand the type of mindset that might create a "problem" in the landing area. Obviosly, you could do the same thing there.Life is short ... jump often.

QuoteI'm driving by a golf course. There are golf holes on both sides of the road, and the road is full of twisties, so you have to go slow. So, I'm on one of the curves, driving slow (with my windows open because of the weather), and I see a guy about to hit a ball. Without thinking, I yell as loudly as I can out the window "FOUUUURRRRRR!!!"
Boy, did he screw up that shot. ________________________________________________ I was out golfing one day, and this young dude drove by and yelled four out his window just to fuck with people. I figured he'd be coming back the same way. So when I saw him coming closer, I drove a ball into his windshield and blew out the whole thing. That was a good day.......I guess I'm just a little old fashioned....You know...respect your elders. Life is short ... jump often.
It's funny how Square One only carries two brands of gloves....Their own brand SQ1..for the educated group and Neumann's Tackified for the truely uneducated jumpers that just don't get it. ....I mean...according to you of course.QuoteQuoteWhy don't you just use what most jumpers have used for the last 20 years. Neumann Tackified Skydive Gloves
( Winter Style ) $ 38 @ Square One Parachutes. You wear them in the cold season, then switch to no gloves in the warm season.
I always wear gloves...newmann tackified are not what most knowledgeable jumpers use, they are too expensive for how fast they wear out, and the tacky stuff tacks dirt which is an abrasive... and that gets transferred to your lines, which wears them out faster.
I use a 12.00 pair of Nike batting loves for summer, had the same pair for two years now...and slightly heavier mechanics gloves for winter, I don't see them EVER wearing out!
