  1. I too; would like to see the towers put back the way they were. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  2. Detailed PM sent... NOTE: If you have a firewall on your laptop AND on your wireless router, the two _may_ conflict. Some wireless routers instruct the end-user to disable XP Firewall, however, I haven't had any issues with Norton's Firewall (Internet Security) on my XP along with the wireless router's firewall.

  13. Well, as most people on here will tell you, I can get get pretty wound up about this subject more than just about anything else. 1. You'll use PLF/R's a LOT more in your skydiving career than you will EP's yet PLF's are the most under-taught subject to students. You come to my FJC class and I will make you beg for mercy before it's over. No puss pads or golf clap for doing one or two... I am going to wear you out. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=639628;search_string=plf%20front%20front;#639628 If you're really into abuse, take the parachute packing class.

  16. I use your Mom's concession at WFFC. I have used independents at other boogies, but I watch them pack a couple of times while I'm packing. The ones that are sloppy or cut corners or shove the nose all the way back to the tail till the tail rolls completely around... nope Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  17. Nope it's really about $3.00 in materials. The rest is really stupid shit like; labor, insurance, taxes, vehicles, overhead, (phones, lights, advertising, equipment, materials carrying cost, etc.) And then, there's this itty bitty little part called "profit" which when done may be the equivalent of the $3.00 in materials.

  21. Well, I'm not going to disagree that Rob & Amber pulled some shit. Some of it was cunning and some of it was out of bounds. I am glad Uchena and Joyce won - if for no other reason than her having to shave off years of dreadlocks (or braids). But, I'm still thinking there was a little sumpin sumpin about the plane crackin the seal on the door. I'm really glad the POW and his girlfriend didn't win... but not so much for the POW as for his girlfriend who said to him, "You never commit to anything, you even got out of your commitment to the Army!" And he said, "How?" She replied, "By becoming a POW." Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  22. Sorry, but I'm calling foul on this one. Rob & Amber were in the plane with the door closed and the plane backing up. And, the Captain suddenly stops the plane and has a change of heart when there's another plane in an hour?? I've done some serious traveling and have arrived while they are closing the cabin and/or ramp door and there is no mercy after that happens. Puhlease. I'm calling 15 yard penalty for bullshit on the show for not allowing Rob & Amber the one hour head start on the final two hour leg. At the very least, we know that television cameras have an effect on courtrooms, so even if the pilot didn't get a direct phone call from above, he may have gotten the phone call about and been influenced by the cameras. I am glad that Uchena and Joyce won a million. They seem like wonderful people. But, no matter how much you dislike Rob & Amber, they played a hard game and played to win. I "think" we're going to hear how the show's ending was tampered with and it will be their sudden downfall in viewership... just a prediction.
