  1. I get that a lot. It's a curse I tells ya. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  2. Demo both while doing these for each one: http://www.dropzone.com/safety/Canopy_Control/Downsizing_Checklist_47.html Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  3. If you can open MS Paint. Select File (furthest left tab)\ Select - Open Pick the picture you want to use... On the "Home" tab there is an "Image" Tile which says, Select, resize, or crop. Pick resize. Set the percentage radio button... Try it at 75% first and do a File\Save As "filename75" Right click on the file and check the properties to see if its less than 150kb and you should be good to go Now you can play with it from here, but keep in mind that if you decide you want it at 50%, you'll need to go to the first pic and start over or you will get 50% of the 75%. If it's like 10 Mb directly from a camera, save it as a .jpg file first, then resize down from there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFl_rySMe5o Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  4. Open your own DZ. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    RIP Rev Jim

    That we did, Brother. RIP Jim. Condolences to the family. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  6. It's always your fault, Brother. Even when it isn't. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  7. Here in the US; those are called, "Lobbyists." Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  8. My guess is she's not familiar with JP's communication style. @OP: if you should come back and read this,,,, If you do get a weight belt, please take that into consideration as exit weight when you buy mains and reserves. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  9. I know of three people who found new jobs using LinkedIN in the past four months. You have to follow a set of rules like "Keywords," "Accomplishments" rather than "responsible for," Do not create a dissertation for each job held. just a couple of keypoints that may hit a hiring manager or decision-makers hot button.... you get the idea. http://www.explania.com/en/channels/work/detail/how-to-find-a-new-job-using-linkedin It would appear that Internet networking is the new way to reach key people. Good luck Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  10. IMO, the best resource for this type of information is to contact username: Phreezone He runs the http://www.parachutemanuals.com/ website. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  11. You're welcome. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  12. Which takes us back to the tippy top where I said, "I agree." And in the spirit of your post - this will be my last on the matter. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  13. Probably none... But, how many did you propagate? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  14. Well, something like that, you just need to call the DZ with a turbine and tell them what you'd like to do and I'd be surprised if they didn't do their best to accommodate the request. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  15. 105 unless its been broken and I missed it. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3902695;search_string=tandem%20record;#3902695 Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  16. Would there be so many threads if you didn't post so much? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  17. OK Just for grins using "Gun" in the same criteria: JohnRich = 2,941 Kallend = 2,861 rushmc = 1,572 Bigun = 76 Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  18. Your comment would imply that my search criteria was skewed. I used gun(s) in each case and did not test for just "gun." Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  19. Wendy has a point. You do not want to skip the Spaceland vibe. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    Door fear

    1. You have ~13 jumps. It takes time. Everyone has their anxiety point. For me, I hate the first 3,000 feet and grit my teeth. Seen too many plane crashes on takeoff (not related to skydiving). For some it's just before the door opens, others... you get the idea. It never goes away, but we can minimize it. Please search for Brian Germain's articles/book on "Transcending Fear." 2. Not enough, Baby. Not enough. Now, let's go fuck while I still have a hard-on. You have got to learn to divert their attention. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  21. IRONY: 1. Search Criteria: Speakers Corner + Guns + Kallend = 2,206 2. Search Criteria: Speakers Corner + Guns + JohnRich = 1,889 3. Search Criteria: Speakers Corner + Guns + rushmc = 1,106 4. Search Criteria: Speakers Corner + Guns + Bigun= 65 But, again... I agree. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  22. OK... this has just gone to "wrong." You know he's always wanted to be a smokejumper. We need to be supportive of our Brother's goals Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  23. Same offer if you come thru Oklahoma (Tulsa). Place to crash, feed ya, etc. And my other half can check on your puppies while you're here too (Veterinarian) Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
