Back on track about doing something... In the Senate: You surrender; Dianne Feinstein, Bill Nelson, Bob Menendez and Maria Cantwell And I'll surrender; Kay Bailey Hutchison, Orrin Hatch AND Scott Brown. In the House: You give up 6 of the 12 California seats and I'll surrender 1 Oklahoma Seat. And, I'll throw in Mitt Romney for your illegal alien card. Fair enough?

Don't tell the Army that. They might have to change what they've been doing for the last 50 years. They haven't been teaching skydiving using that method; they're teaching you how to be a weapon carrier system that gets on the ground quickly.

The Safire (of which I have the most experience), Sabre 2, and Pilot are three of the most reliable opening canopies (IMO - since those are my most jumped canopies). The thing you're missing is the "consistency." It sounds like the openings are consistent and that's what you want. Now, with 71ish jumps, we can appreciate your concerns about being on the bottom end of your canopy opening and in proximity of your hard deck. A couple of suggestions: 1, Please take into account that while you're dumping at 3500, one question is how long from 3500 to pitching out the PC are you actually taking? A couple of seconds at level and you're really not pitching until 3K, A couple of seconds at track mode and you may really not be pitching until < 3K, so you may have the 500-800 foot opening you're looking for, but not pitching fast or flat enough. 2. For awhile communicate with those on the dive that you'll be pulling at 4K and over the next 50-100 jumps; be watching the opening characteristics of your canopy. I time, you will learn your canopy's "Consistency" and learn of any variations in that opening characteristic that would warrant emergency procedures - faster when you go back to your normal opening altitude. 3. This is the last resort after testing the first two. Check with your rigger about a smaller slider. With Icarus, I've had to both upsize and downsize the slider. On one canopy the openings were so swift that I had to get a larger one to slow things down a bit. In another instance, when I was doing big way camps, it's not unusual for certain rings to have to dump at 2.5-2K and in that case, I downsized my slider for a much faster opening. Take the first two into account and learn your canopy's opening characteristics and in time, you'll probably finds that it works for you and please keep us posted on any changes you make and their results so others at your skill level have additional information on your path to success.

Massive Republican voter registration fraud uncovered in Florida
BIGUN replied to jclalor's topic in Speakers Corner
This has to be the most silly thread from either side, respective of what's wrong with politics today. For the past 20 years. the mudslinging has now degenerated one of the finest minds in our country. I feel nothing but sadness for our country because we look like simpletons to the rest of the world. Can we really not find some form of common ground by which to re-build this nation; or are we going to continue to be more divisive as time goes on and ultimately doom ourselves.

I. Create an ICE profile by entering your identification info, medical info (if any) and listing emergency contacts. Your ICEdot profile will be synced with a personal identification number (PIN). Your PIN is displayed on an ICEdot identifier.$10.00/year https://icedot.org/site/ II. CEdot Identifiers work hand-in-hand with the ICEdot service to identify you to first responders and notify your loved ones in case of emergency. Your membership PIN is printed on the identifier and will be linked to a personal online account with your identification, medical info (if you have any) and emergency contacts. This info can be accessed by any first responder with a cell phone. https://icedot.org/site/how-it-works/ III. Multiple items of wear to identify: https://icedot.org/shop NOTE: There's a helmet chip for when you knock yourself out... The Crash Sensor is a slim device that will mount as an aftermarket device onto any helmet. When paired with the ICEdot app on a smart phone, the system is able to detect motion, changes in forces and impacts. In the event of an impact, the device sends critical data to the app which sounds an alarm and initiates an emergency countdown. Unless the countdown clock is stopped, the app will then notify your emergency contacts and send GPS coordinates of the incident so that appropriate follow up actions can be taken. Cycling, skiing, back-country travel, team sports, and motor sports all involve significant risks. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

The point I was trying to make, but obviously missed was, that according to the second hyperlink you left, "Usually in reputation systems each rating is weighted equally and reputations are computed as the average of all ratings." Therefore, if no has [to date] rated the site, then it will have a zero rating. If one person rated it at a 5, then the average is a five. No one has rated the site so it remains at a zero. That is not an indicator of a site or the customer service value. What if no one rated Google on WOT... then they would have a similar scoring. Personally, I don't see WOT surviving very long.

If nothing else it's good to know that both sides of the aisle and people I respect for many reasons are wrestling with the issue also. In my State, we're not allowed write-ins http://www.anamericanvision.com/info/state_certifications.php And, some of you are right in that you have to show up and cast a ballot of some type to be counted. The other write-in choices are as follows: http://www.politics1.com/p2012.htm Here's a thought... It's too late for 2012; but for 2016, skydivers from each State could be write-ins. Since I can't write-in I guess I'm just stuck with thinking about this one for awhile. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

On a more lighter note... I'm thinkin she could hire Banesuera to walk along side her for a month or so and every time she twitches in his direction - bitch slap. Think of it as a form of behavior modification. On a more serious note... I don't think there's very many people that can profess to not having been in a relationship too long. Longer than it should have gone on for any number of reasons. The best advice I read on here was to learn to like yourself again. That takes time and being alone for awhile.

Based on your location and the caliber of Instrcutors in that area; losing them is going to be a pretty hard thing to do. Not saying it can't happen, but you'd have to get pretty damn creative to lose them. Not saying you can't get that creative, but as Aggie and a couple of others have pointed out, "There's an app for that." Don't over-think it.

Airing out a canopy after sitting for a couple years
BIGUN replied to CrewKC87's topic in Gear and Rigging
It's happened. The Rigger found out while he had the guy's rig in for an AIR. He did as an immaculate professional reserve pack and inspection as he always did. Took the rig back over to the guy and upon handing it to him and after receiving his cash; told him. "I know you're fucking my old lady." Then, turned around and walked off. How's that for a mind-fuck? We never saw the skydiver again. Guess he thought the Riggger was too well known, respected and liked to come around anymore. What he never knew is the Rigger never blamed him as his old lady had done it before and that was just the capstone to their getting divorced.
