  1. There's a new tv game show coming out this year entitled "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?". Might be a tad embarrassing for some grown-ups.... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  2. I noticed that as well. Coolio on both parts... btw, nice search for an old thread!

    Also into cats

    Pretty funny! Guess they're not the only ones that are 'into cats' with that song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A-tqrS-7yQ&mode=related&search= ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  4. Carpel Tunnel will get you every time when you do too much of that! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  5. OMG! Where was I in 2004 when that thread was posted? Thanks for sharing, Mar! Great to see you posting again, woman! Been a long time! How you doing these days?
  6. Apple has sent me many notices about this kind of battery being faulty, and offering to replace it for free. Each time I check my laptop's serial number and it's not listed in the series of batteries needing to be changed. I'd think that all batteries (Dell's included) had been located and notices sent to their respective owners. That is, if they took the time to register their purchase. Sucks, however, if this person was the first to discover the bad batch of batteries that triggered the recall, though. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  7. Glad to see your learning curve is still going strong... See: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2261972;#2261972 ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

  10. Thanks for sharing. Can we upgrade to something more inspiring than 'milk-toast' music now? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  11. Some of the most beautiful country 'discovered' in my hunt for caches over the years. Haven't been for awhile. Should start it up again. Great work out! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  12. Exactly... Keep your day job.
  13. pulling the risers apart and bicycle kick to get out of line twists Funny story. A student a fellow instructor was training was demonstrating how to get out of line twists. (hanging harness) They spred the risers apart and preceded to actually bicycle in place (no twisting motion). The reason emergency procedures are reviewed with each level of AFF. Who knows what they remember (or think they remember) from Level I to Level II. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

  15. Interesting. The schools where I attended were more like 'apartment-like-policy'. They inspected the rooms before you moved in and after you left. If anything was damaged (even tape on the walls) they billed you. Normal wear and tear were okay, but nothing outside of that. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  16. No, I think I'm just a bad typist. You and I are thinking alike. (note: I lived in these single room dorm rooms for 6 years while I went to school ). By matching the other rooms and hallway, I was -meaning- outside her little dorm room. A school has a particular color they demand for their facilities. Usually Ivory in color. I'd have her go to the dean and make sure she gets an exact match. They might even supply her with the paint, if they know she'll do the work.
  17. Tried to find a picture of Alec's helmet during the match race, but couldn't find it. So, here's the youtube upload of the match race instead. http://youtube.com/watch?v=QFoBtXKwcE4 ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  18. By 'the rest of the dorm' I meant the -other- dorm rooms. The hallway. The kitchette...etc. Yes, all of -her- room walls will have to be painted, whether they have artwork on them or not. Fresh paint looks awful next to old paint. All walls, and the ceiling, will need to be covered with fresh Kilz and paint. Just remember to open the doors and windows, or we'll have more (new) artwork to view here when they become intoxicated in another way! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  19. Here, you can watch them again? (or for those who didn't tune in.... http://www.cbs.sportsline.com/nfl/postseason/superads ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  20. I don't think paint will cover up the charcoal. Unless they scrub MOST of it off and then, it still might not cover it completely. TSP (to clean what they can), Kilz undercoat (no question, needed for sure), then the color that will match the rest of the dorm. Should be fun! Love the artwork, though. I think you should keep the pictures and put them in your portfolio! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  21. How about the Marketing Party? "Everyone wants to work in marketing..." ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  22. See my comment above. :^) We agree! Here is where your FJC instructor can help you. What are you flying? How are you loading your canopy? The general answer you may get here might apply. It might not. Your instructor will know you. He/she will know your equipment. The general answer is yes, get on your risers asap. Don't let the canopy keep spinning (or losing altitude with a line-twist/spin). HOWEVER, be careful not to strip the brake line off the riser, and thus increasing your spin (or line-twist). A docile canopy will most likely not spin up on you, even if you wait a few seconds, but what if you're on a higher performance canopy in the future? THAT canopy will require you have quicker reaction. see why I hesitated to answer you in the first place and directed you to your instructor? ;^) Again, a good question with a lengthy discussion. A low time jumper should clear the line twists and release the brakes. The docile canopy will respect this. A higher performance canopy (with altitude to spare) will like to have the riser counter first (to stop the spin and allow the pilot to not spin to the ground so fast as he/she releases the brakes (see my post in the photography forum yesterday..). Arch. Yes. Do you keep spinning after the cutaway? There are many schools of thought on this. Some say 'yes', others 'no'. The ones that say 'no' point to the fact that if you're spinning that fast you release going -away- from the malfunction in a straight line...and thus no longer spinning, but shooting away. Others disagree. So, do you see why we directed you to your instructor? Keep it simple. In the event of a malfunction we want you to think clearly and not sit there and go through a list of what 'everybody and their dog' says to do. Keep it safe. Have fun. Remember: PULL, PULL AT THE RIGHT ALTITUDE, LAND SAFELY.
  23. Vodka worked great to take dried out 'dry erase' marker off the white board at the DZ yesterday. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
