  1. agreed. move on, move on and say fuck the drama!!! Scars remind us that the past is real
  2. Also check out the para-gear catalog. There's a canopy pack volume chart in there near the back, just in front of the container order forms. Seems I use the catalog as a reference a lot.
  3. thats it? just take a written test? Scars remind us that the past is real
  4. Oh you messed up now! I'll whore information from anyone and anywhere. I got a Singer 96-47. Which after some digging turns out to be a clone of a 31-15 that went to one cam for the bobbin instead of two so it runs much quieter. I'll post pics of the tube later. It was jumped and worked but I need to work on the bottom ring. the plastic I used wasn't stiff enough so it didn't let in enough air to fully inflate the tube. College professoring is so-so. There are ups and downs. I at least know there are 50 college freshmen in NC that now know how to use a ruler... Scars remind us that the past is real
  5. Lets say you got a current strong tandem master. The TM does two jumps on a vector II. Is he rated for the sigma as well at this point? Scars remind us that the past is real
  6. Before I make a royal ass out of myself - what are the requirements for a tandem master to cross over to the sigma? Do they need to do one jump on the system in addition to packing it? Thanks, S. Scars remind us that the past is real
  7. yeah, you and Kim were kicking ass there during the student jumps. Now look at 'em...all grown *sniff* *sniff*. Scars remind us that the past is real
  8. I was thinking the same thing. Hope you get out soon. Scars remind us that the past is real
  9. Preach it Sister!!! Scars remind us that the past is real
  10. Update, more info and the decision... I marked all three tests zero because I don't know who did the work and who copied. When I went to mark the grades in my spreadsheet, the same three were flagged on the first test. Everyone in the class bombed that test and I made them all take it home, redo it and bring it back for regrading. These same three had very similar answers which caused me to flag the grades. However, those tests were hand written. This last round, they just hit print three times. Per our student handbook code - I will conduct an interview with the three students with an outside observer. I will inform them they have each received a grade of zero on this test unless they can offer an explanation. They had one chance already. and my god - it was a test on volcanos - why wouldn't you want to write own your own about volcanic eruptions, different lavas, different geographical and geological settings....boogles the mind.

  11. I've never seen Kallend post anti-US stuff. anti-Bush, yes - anti US NO. That is something over the past few years that has burned my toast - If you express a disliking and/or distrust of Bush - you're anti-US. What a load. Scars remind us that the past is real
  12. Did you specify working as a team was not allowed??? yes. many times. they even asked and I said no. easy to grade I guess.... Scars remind us that the past is real
  13. I gave a take home test in my geology class. I got three tests back that are identical. same wrong answers, same spelling mistakes - they didn't even bother to change the formatting. You'd think college seniors would be a little more slick. I feel like I've failed. Scars remind us that the past is real
  14. I took it to mean that if writing your congressman fails, then vote them out. I could very well be wrong though. You got it derek. I forgot Kallend is a physicist - you got to really spell out that english Actually, I meant "that" is writing your congressman and he/she does nothing which would be the mostly likely outcome in this scenario - the letter would just be stamped as recieved, filed and forgotten. Sufficient reason in my book to vote his/her bottom out of office. Scars remind us that the past is real
  15. congrats on the new addition! now I owe you several beers... Scars remind us that the past is real
  16. and failing that - vote your congressman's ass outta office... Scars remind us that the past is real
  17. __________________________________________ A few years ago, I had a guy come to me, wanting me to help him get his rigger's ticket. Weeell, he couldn't sew to save his butt. So, before we went any farther, I started giving him sewing lessons. The first thing I showed him and 'tried' to impress on him was; "Start sewing with scrap material!" You never start with whatever it is you are wanting to make. Learn your sewing machine and learn thread tension. Unless, the machine you are using is totally screwed-up, leave the bobbin tension alone. Check with Poynter's Parachute Manual or go to a local sewing store and get a book on 'sewing'. Either, will show you proper stitches. Practice, practice, practice! Good luck to you and show pics of your first project so we can all 'critique' you! Chuck well, we'll see how it turns out. I've sewn some patches on a kit bag and they were okay. I got an old canopy that was ripped to hell in a tree landing - took it apart and now am playing with all kinds of stuff. First 'real' project is taking two panels from said blown up canopy and make a free fly tube. Almost done with it. Scars remind us that the past is real
  18. I'm learning all kinds of things about sewing now that I have my own machine.... Tip 1 - if you're not ready to sew - take your big ass, heavy foot off the pedal..... or be handy with a seam ripper. Scars remind us that the past is real
  19. good luck!! and vibes to the rest of you trying to quit!!! Scars remind us that the past is real
  20. turkey? pfftt We're cooking a whole pig. Scars remind us that the past is real
  21. Hope you did better than the first time I cut mine.... I ended up looking like a hassitic jew with those little pony tails off the side.... I haven't tried to cut it myself since then. Scars remind us that the past is real
  22. Happy birthday beth! Hope you have many happy waffles and chickens today.
