    True, it can be spread through produce, but why haven't similar outbreaks occured in other locations. There are quite a few Chi-chi's around here, and I don't think that this particular resturant had it's own specific produce supply. If it was from the produce, I would expect that the cases would be more widespread among locations, and that the number of cases per resturant would be lower. To have so many cases in one resturant makes me think that this was a person, not an infected green onion.

    The toll is now up to three people dead for no other reason than incompetence. Hepatitis A is transmitted through the oral-fecal route, basically improper hand washing technique after making poo-poo. Some lazy fucktard didn't wash his or her hands, and now three people are dead. I'm not a fan of lawyers, but I hope this resturant chain gets sued into bankruptcy and those responsible get jail time. There's just no excuse for this.

    Relax, you have two jumpmasters there with you to help keep you safe. Don't worry about doing a bunch of stuff in freefall, that will come later. Breathe, maintain altitude awareness, and have a blast.

    Skydive Pennsylvania, cause it's the only DZ I've ever been to. Everyone there kicks butt, it's got a turboprop airplane, it's not too crowded (although I'm sure Jeff and Nicky wished it were more crowded), and did I mention it's the only DZ I know? Clean bathroom, HUGE place to land that's covered in grass, and only a few minutes from Grove City Outlets (good shopping and the best kettle corn I've ever had). I may not know a ton of stuff about skydiving, but I do know that this place is a gem. www.skydivepa.com

    When you go in to see which ones you like, take a cd of acoustic music. See what the acoustic music sounds like. Any company can throw wattage numbers at you, good speakers will sound clear through most of the volume range. And if the salesman won't let you put your cd in for a test drive, consider another audio dealer.

    Nothing ventured, nothing gained. And now that you know that you can indeed talk to the hotties, the next one shouldn't be so bad.

    I'd rather break my arm than my tailbone. Each time you make stinkies the muscles around your bum pull on the tailbone, hence the long healing times.

    Car. Beaches or swimming pool?

    This weekend I have time off, and with the cold weather rolling in here in beautiful Pennsylvania I was checking out the weather sites and this came to mind.

    First time was in a hotel in Bahrain in the Persian Gulf. I was 21 years old, on coed Navy ship and we both were on liberty. Boo Ya!

    I think there's a big difference between being burned, which is too horrible to contemplate, and being burned to death. Burns of that severity stop hurting once the nerves are cooked. I drowned when I was a kid, that was awful, I could see the surface of the pool but couldn't get there. I don't think even HP Lovecraft could describe the things going through my mind. Awful.

    No static lines, no tandems, nothing. The first time I ever actually saw a parachute was the day I showed up to do my AFF level one jump. Was I scared outa me gourd? Better believe it. Did I enjoy it? Big time. I'm not sure if crack can possibly be as addicting as skydiving. What happened was that a few of the girls I work with (I'm a nurse) decided to go skydiving. I showed up, no one else did, their loss.

    In my many long weeks of skydiving I have found out that skydivers have a few things in common with amatuer astronomers. First is that they both love to talk about what they do, share their experience and knowledge, answer questions, stuff like that, and every time I have a question, there's always someone at the drop zone who knows the answer and is willing to help. We've all been that nervous person getting ready to make their first jump, and I only hope that when I'm one of the experienced jumpers and some newbie comes up and asks me a question that I'll be as nice and as helpful as all of the people at my DZ.

    where's the button for Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, the best beer in the world?

    Easier to do stand up landings, that's what I'm after, but the more I think about it, the more it seems I just need more experience to know when to start flaring, seems I'm always a few feet too late in starting.
  25. ripper0289
    OK, I have a question, I'm an AFF student, my exit weight is 210 and I'm using a 210sq. ft student canopy. The DZ has a 190 and I've been wondering if it is easier to flare a smaller canopy. It seems like it would be a trade off, smaller canopy, faster forward speed, maybe a better flare. Am I wrong on this?
