Does it get cold in South Carolina and then Georgia? Aren't those places in the "southern" States, at least as defined during the civil war? "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

Another unhappy customer.... this one from "Georgia-based thrillplanet.com" aka 1800skyride http://www.wfsb.com/news/16901987/detail.html Woman: Skydiving Co. Ripped Me Off Company Used Misleading Advertising, Woman Says POSTED: 3:33 pm EDT July 16, 2008 UPDATED: 8:37 pm EDT July 16, 2008 MIDDLEFIELD, Conn. -- Susan Lipper said she was looking for the perfect gift for her husband when she saw a van on the highway advertising a skydiving Web site. “My husband used to skydive, and it's his 60th birthday today, and I wanted to do this for him,” said Lipper, a Middlefield resident. Lipper said she bought a $250 gift certificate from connecticutskydiving.net. The Web site, she said, repeats over and over that they can help you “skydive” in Connecticut. “I had him call last Tuesday night to schedule a jump and found out they don't skydive in Connecticut,” she said. She said the company told her the money is non-refundable and that her husband should go to an airport in Albany, N.Y. The Web site is run by Georgia-based thrillplanet.com. The Better Business Bureau said it’s received nearly 400 complaints about the company. It said the state of Georgia sued them last year for misleading consumers. Calls to the company were not returned. The Channel 3 Eyewitness News I-Team searched the company’s phone number in Google and was directed to Skydive Pennsylvania, Skydive Tennessee, Skydive Colorado and Skydive California, all with one phone number. Many other states popped up with that phone number as well. When consumers click on the Web sites, they’re all the same, aside from the change in location. “We've had experiences with other organizations that have done scams like this,” said Chris Riggio, a coach at CT Parachutists in Ellington. “The question they should ask is are you a person at that particular drop zone, and if they're not, you don't want to speak with them,” he said. “I’m going to look for a local address, or some address, because if you have nothing that indicates it’s here, you don't know if you're getting what you're getting,” said Lipper. Lipper said she also plans to file her own complaint with Connecticut's attorney general. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

"I'm not sure this is something that I'll enjoy doing for the rest of my life." You can say that about anything you start. Realize that once you start you are not required by either the laws of God or man to continue until death in the same job, the same relationship, the same career, the same sport. There are always choices... one choice is to make no changes... there are many others... "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

I am confused: "This AD was raised against French DGAC AD UF-2008-005. CASA has cancelled this AD because it is confusing and the French DGAC is not the Airworthiness Authority responsible for the affected parachute automatic activation device. The Belgian authority has not issued an equivalent AD" They don't like the Vigial becuase they are confused ???

Its been built into MS office for many years. I have Office from 2002 and its there. Open Word. On the Tools menu, click Speech. You're asked if you want to install the feature. Click Yes. After the installation is complete, click Next to train speech recognition. Training begins with help in adjusting your microphone.

I agree with this statement. I sign waivers without reading them but make sure the emergency contact is correct. I ask people before I use them as an emergency contact if they are prepared to get the call and make sure they know who to call next.

My son uses that and it does allow him some nice customization of his desktop but that is not what iGoogle is about. iGoogle is about customizing your home page in IE. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
