    XM radio

    Its satelite radio - I've been hopeful to get on for my car. Is it true there are no commercials? Jen Arianna Frances
  2. WOw! That is so cool! Congrats!! Jen Arianna Frances
  3. Way to beat a dead horse... Why argue the merits of something you obviously have no control over - in order to bring attention to your bruised ego? Live and let live, and die and let die. Enough already. Jennifer Arianna Frances
  4. Thanks to the mods and HH that dz.com isn't like this. Full of obviously bitter people. I have to agree with Deuce on this one - it obviously must suck to know it all. Again, cheers to to HH and the mods Jen Arianna Frances
  5. Hey guys - I've got a bunch of ideas for you... but I think you would first need to narrow down the disabilities that would be participating for solicitation of funds from companies associated with those disabilities. PM me if you want more ideas. Jen Arianna Frances
  6. woah! Serious? They're open during the week aren't they? Doh... just remembered, they don't like me and won't let me jump htere anyway Jennifer Arianna Frances
  7. I see large alimony payments in your future.... Your an ass - I hope she takes you for all your worth (which from the sounds of it, can't be much - you moron!) Jennifer Arianna Frances
  8. Not a new dr. He's a consultant from Cal tech being brought in to investigate the 'earthquakes'. He's allergic to alcohol or something and it was doing some REALLY wierd stuff to him. I work in a hospital and thought the wierd 'initiation' thing they were doing with that paranoid boston neurosurgeon was SO funny! Jennifer Arianna Frances
  9. hmmm Fresno.... Go to Edwards, see a movie. Blackbeards - on the corenr of ashland and chestnut - mini golf etc. fun place! Roger Rockas - catch a show Can't think of much else, but thats probably becuase I"m freezing here in RI. lol Jennifer Arianna Frances
  10. LMAO! Hey, if thats what Jan wants to do - more power to her. Just don't expect us to watch On a serious side Kallend, we aren't forcing anyone to become involved. None of us are getting a RED CENT from this. If they don't want to thats fine, they're welcome to use other ways. We're defending our idea because we already have MANY photographers and MANY DZs committed to this - and the last thing we need is to have someone with a rod up their butt possibly ruining the months we've put into this (and the months we have ahead of us). Jennifer Arianna Frances
  11. I don't believe any of us are critizing her for choosing a different line - we're getting defensive to the accusations she is making. She is free to use ANY method of fundraising she wants - we're just happy to give all the JFTC girls the option of using the calendar to fundraise with. And did I mention - the calendar will be free for them to use? As in, it won't cost them a dime - they keep all the porfit. Any remaining profit from the sales can be donated to JFTC directly. I don't understand why people have issue with this concept - its a win win situation. The girls win, and more importantly the struggle against breast cancer wins
  12. Hi Jan! We haven't met, but I'll be looking forward to doing that next October
  13. omg - that was funny!! Jen Arianna Frances

    wow

    nah - they're already going away. I have a friend that works as a PA in Los Angeles and even 'the industry' is seeing its fading fast... not fast enuf unfortunately. She figures another 2 years at best. Jen Arianna Frances
  15. Ok, sounds good - I'll just book mark it for the time being. That would be my husband. Those crazy linux server folks just can't appreciate us windows ppl - and his willingness to change configurations is nill. But I can be very persuasive Oh well! Thanks again! Jen Arianna Frances

    wow

    I am proud to say I have NEVER watched an episode of ANY reality TV show. Thankfully they will eventually disappear - its not only the dumbing down of society, but you can see your friends (actors? ) causing it. Its a shame really...a shame. Jennifer Arianna Frances
  17. Nope, that doesn't work either. skydivingmovies.com is a forwarding address? Jennifer Arianna Frances
  18. oh ok.... Got through, but due to the firewall i can only get through on the IP address. Just to let you know other people behind firewalls may have the same issue. Thanks for the help, Jen Arianna Frances
  19. sigh..... "Cannot find page" Danm firewall...sometimes I get through....sometimes I don't.... Need to see some videos to calm me down...guess I'll stick with what I got on my HD. Thanks though - really appreciate your service (when I can get it). Jen Arianna Frances
  20. Is it down? Or is it just me? Jennifer Arianna Frances
  21. I guess its good that there is seperation of the 'controversial' threads now.... But boy oh boy was I surprised to see responses about the type of people who post in there! The freaks are making folks nervous now? Maybe its just that I've always had a genuine interest in how the government (and religion) have worked and ensuring that its all in my best interest - but I didn't think I was in the minority... Jennifer Arianna Frances
  22. I could be wrong... but I wasn't taught to keep my hands up at my face. If you do a PLF correctly your face shouldn't have contact with the ground (theoretically). My JM told me that they were doing something new in training this year and that was to sort of lock your thumbs on flare so you don't have a tendancy to put your arms out in front of you and break something; which I'm having issues with. I'm super pesimistic about this - I just know I'm gonna break something Jen Arianna Frances
  23. In my thirst for more inforamation... Started AFF last weekend, which goes without sayng that we practiced PLFs... Darius11 can attest to how it went. I wasn't pleased. I'm not what you would call an agile or super flexible person, but I am willing to try to learn to be. In watching the video in this thread: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1021403 - great landing falls etc., I got to thinking. What other sports are landing falls routinely practiced? I would love to get involved with something during the week that would help me practice for the weekends. I didn't think to ask this to my insturctor this weekend, because I thought I'd be fine until this coming weekend, but its been on mind, obsessively, ever since. Due to this, I hope I don't get the usual "ask your instructor" answers, as I've talked to enough other AFF JMs who have said that its not 'routine' to search for other outlets, outside of skydiving, to practice these. Just looking for some feedback or examples. I am well aware that PLFs could be the only way to 'land' safely as a student, and the fact that I'm unnatureally terrified of landing makes me want to practice, practice, practice. In thinking about practicing on mats I would be worried about practing on a softer surface that in itself could promote injury. Any ideas on how to practice them? I need to keep my mind on something other than setting up the landing pattern (which is also an unnatural fear for me right now, ok, landing in general scares the begeezes out of me).
