It is a catch 22 for the PNAC criminals. If the debt ceiling is raised with an equal reduction in deficit over the next 10 years, it will become the project for the new Chinese century whatever way you look at it... I reckon we default, fuck the Fed. Quite clearly the US deficit is mainly interest repayments to them on their unconstitutional interest charges. Ron Paul 2012!

Because when a safer opionin is presented, someone usually comes up with, I did XXX and got away with it for XXX so you don't know what you are talking about. That defeats the purpose of the discussion in the first place by putting worse ideas in readers heads... Best to just say your own point then try to avoid an argument about it.

Your statements there are for the most part correct as both Bush and Obama are puppets of the same regime (Corporatocracy). In case you didn’t already notice.

From what we see here, the fact remains that there were injuries and the DZO did not ensure an incident report was filled out. If anything this highlights that we cannot believe everything we are told no matter how official somebody may sound. I would have thought the incident report is the most official statement rather than a short understated comment. Talking to the person that experienced the incident rather than the owner of the company that may skew information to downplay something that they may wish to hide. Surely the repercussions of the unit failing should take at least some precedence in how the situation is dealt with. What contributing factors may have been involved that could be avoided in the future. The DZO did not even ensure a report was filled out even though they had correspondence with airtec about it. That sounds quite unprofessional, I would be pissed off too if I was injured and that was the result. Wouldn't you?

I wouldn't bother, you have explained yourself quite clearly. I have the same (similar) position as you, and understand entirely what you are saying. Some do not. And someone just paid heaps for a coaching clinic and has decided there 'is not' more than one way to skin a cat. At the end of the day, flying against the grain a couple of hundred feet directly above the landing area is a silly idea. And nobody should ever do a high performance turn when there is slower traffic (or oncoming traffic in some peoples cases ) in the pattern in front of them. That stuff should be just common sense but you have to point it out around here.... Back a hundred years ago, especially around Woodrow Wilson, what happened in this country is we took freedom and we chopped it into pieces. Ron Paul

Now you are putting words in my mouth. We will assume everybody knows not to perform a high performance turn into traffic. Then we can see that the guy the does the 180 at 230 feet is putting himself in the traffic beofre the turn has even started. Back a hundred years ago, especially around Woodrow Wilson, what happened in this country is we took freedom and we chopped it into pieces. Ron Paul

No, I clearly said that flyaing against the traffic at a couple of hundred feet is dangerous. Doing a 180 on a stiletto loaded at 1.35 will ensure you are going against the traffic at a couple of hundred feet above the landing area... That is my point, I did a bunch of 180's too, but 270's give you more margin for error and are more predictable to others... you appraoch from the side and basically do the same landing pattern as a 90. I also said that learning 270's on a stiletto loaded at 1.35 is also dangerous. Not enough margin for error.

Obviously it is not a secret, we are talking about it and there is a bunch of information out there, though conflicting. There is not nearly enough interest in it from the media. If it is no big deal to you, try informing us all about your knowledge of the power out that prevented the cooling system form working for a period of time... and how that may have impacted the safety of the plant. Then tell us how this is not of National (global) importance? What news report did you see on it and on what channel?

I'm actually trying to read anything I can on it. What I do know is that there is next to nothing on my news about the fire which shorted out the electical systems to the spent fuel containment vessel. What damage is already done? The Flood waters are expected to linger around until August. there is alot of snow still up there, and it all comes in one direction. what do you think the chances of heavy rain in the tribitaries between now and August? oooh 422 news articles. For a country with a free press, hundreds of millions of people and a very near or possible nuclear disaster. that is pretty fucking weak. and considering there are over 100 million websites out there and this has been gong on for a couple of weeks that is very, very minimal. The news is supposed to keep us informed about such things, we should not be expected to search out information about this. I sure hope you are right but the lack of interest in this from the media has me concerned... they should be all over it like a rash. Back a hundred years ago, especially around Woodrow Wilson, what happened in this country is we took freedom and we chopped it into pieces. Ron Paul

I don't know what to think of this, a overfilled ground level open topped spent fuel rod pool is about to be flooded and ever rising floodwaters have broken levies and are threatening a nuclear disaster of massive proportions. What sort of information is given to us from our 'free media'? Fuck all. If you don't know the Missouri river flows into the Mississippi which flows into the Gulf of Mexico. There could be highly radioactive material flowing down these overfilled waterways very soon. Maybe, maybe not. A media blackout on it is not a good thing, we should be preparing for the worst in order to save lives. I am not going to post a link to avoid the usual ad hominem, but I strongly suggest that EVERYBODY does at least a little research into it. Just search US nuclear disaster and look at the latest results… If you live by these waterways... think about a plan, if you have family or friends by them, inform them. I certainly hope this is just some hype, but it is increasingly looking like it is not.

... and since, safer and more efficient methods have been developed rendering the '180 snaphook' somewhat inefficient. also flying above the landing area at a couple of hundred feet against the grain is outright dangerous.

LOL for sure, the strongest opinions seem to be the ones that discredit it though... Sure does, but we need to define each manoever. Tracking is certainly different to flying head up etc. etc. I look at it as defining each manoever as in the compulsory rounds in artistic skydiving events at FAI sanctioned meets... Atmonauti was a compulsory manoever for a while so I guess that clinches it.

I know the economic ABC's but it s us that can make the difference. You are correct in saying that many things cannot be sourced from US manufacturers anymore, but many can, but people still decide to save a little in the short term. It is we that can tell the corporations what to do by changing our habits. They want to save money but they also want profit. If the Chinese stuff is still on the shelf they wont re-order more... Unfortunately it is the U.S. stuff that is left on the shelf. That is our fault, not theirs. That's capitalism for ya.

I copied and pasted the title, screaming... No. It is a title. I copied and pasted it. Obama is a tyrant, in case you didn't notice, he is ignoring the constitution and taking us into war without congressional approval. When questioned about that he might has well have flipped us the bird. That is the dictionary defintion of a tyrant, would you care to explain anything to the contrary? It seems you have no clue on what our civil liberties are and what the role of a president is. Dubya is an idiot, though his administration was not so stupid, war criminals - for sure. Innocent civilians are dead because of their decisions, they were incorrect decisions based on incorrect information and whether that was purposeful or not is beside the point. They continued to lie to us and I have had enough. America has had enough, and if any of you wish to defend Obama’s decision to bypass congress and take us into yet another war (how many is that now? they forgot to keep tabs for us), then you deserve to be put in the stocks with them. Once Ron Paul is in, watch the cowards run with their tails between their legs. Paul’s momentum is gaining some real strength now, and if you care for your country one little bit, you will support him and forget about all the other chumps. Ron Paul 2012!

WAR POWERS ACT - RON PAUL & THE CONSTITUTION vs. THE TYRANT OBAMA

Typically everything higher than a 270 will be performed from 700 feet up. If your profile is correct you are doing a 180 on a 135 stiletto loaded at 1.5 then you will be flying against the grain only a few hundred feet above the landing area. If you want to swoop and are competent and confident enough to pull 180's, I would downsize and get a more appropriate canopy for these turns. Doing 180's on a (relatively) underloaded stiletto seems like quite a commitment to me, you would be much safer downsizing (crossfire119/katana 120 etc..) and starting again... I wouldn't bother learning 270's on a lightly loaded stiletto. Back a hundred years ago, especially around Woodrow Wilson, what happened in this country is we took freedom and we chopped it into pieces. Ron Paul

In my mind it is more about the predictability of your approach to others, than what you are able to see yourself. If you approach for a 270 it is much the same as approaching for a 90, though you turn the opposite direction. I would avoid 180's. If you want to swoop you need to get as much speed as you can and a 270 gives you more time to gather momentum. Sounds like it is time to upgrade to a 270 approach bro...

Firstly, I used that as an example of the republican candidates being quite un-republican. The Act was drafted, edited and passed within 6 weeks of the attacks. None of the congressman that passed it actually read it, and its whopping 342 page content is very detailed indeed. The act. whether it was drafted previous to 9/11 or after in any case goes against the very principals of what is republican. I am not going to debate this point with you to be cornered into some ridicule, my point is that the bush Admin did not act in the interests of the republic. For your own interest here is a timeline of government movements on Iraq over the past 25 years... http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB326/IraqWarPart1-Timeline.pdf Yes a republic is different to republican political ideal ology, but they are not completely irrelevant from each other. Let me repeat the key point that you missed in all this... This very paragraph explains how the patriot act is not republican, the usual republican candidates (aside from Ron Paul) are not very republican and that you are ignoring the principals of the forefathers. Maybe you should go back and read what they had to say about removing the rights of the American people... I was saying that it is possible to be communist and republican not that they are the same thing. I was also saying (and you missed the point) that the definitions of those terms are clearly misunderstood by most, including yourself. The only person I see in the political spotlight vilifying corruption is Ron Paul, evry other chump is too scared to lose their funding, Ron is funded by individuals and patriots, the rest of the circus are propped up by corporation… What is it that you do for a living? I am interested to learn how you fit into this picture… I am a self employed, small business owner. What are you?
