  1. How about going after some awards? www.scr-awards.com Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  2. Just so happens I teach Interviewing at Northeastern State University. Because there are so many laws preventing certain questions from being asked, many companies have had to utilize a technique called, "Behavioral Interviewing." The first question you should be prepared to answer is: "So, tell me[us] about yourself." I have my students prepare an 8 minute presentation on this question alone. And, while you will not need all 8 minutes, you can parse it down to the amount of minutes and highlights you think necessary for your audience. Can't tell you how many students have emailed me over the years to say, "That was the very first question they asked and I was so glad you made me do that exercise." [They usually groan when they get the assignment because so many people have difficulty talking about themselves (except skydivers of course)] Anyway... the following URL is a list of the "type" of questions used in the behavioral interviewing process. Hope it helps. Feel free to PM me for additional info. http://www.quintcareers.com/sample_behavioral.html Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

  6. forevergeek.com has a useful guide on speeding up firefox for broadband users. basically after getting to the hidden config settings you set the browser to request more data that it usually does. 1.Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries: network.http.pipelining network. http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading. 2. Alter the entries as follows: Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true” Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true” Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once. 3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0”. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. If you’re using a broadband connection you’ll load pages MUCH faster now!

  8. Man, I hope I don't have to find another lawn guy cause of this Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  9. No. PSB# 20031203 /12.03.2003 / Skyhook RSL Inspection I've seen it work in a "real world" cutaway and it's a magical thing to watch. But, 1) it is not meant as a replacement for good-decision-making and 2) I agree with Ron. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  10. And herein lies the problem..... "Flippant" or a focal instrument about fundamentals. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  11. 30#s That's quite a feat. How'd you do that? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  12. I'm in. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  13. Have to agree with John here. I would encourage more manufacturer spec information in this forum. I know Bill has discussed the sSkyHook and other things in here and that type of information is always welcomed.

  15. Read it this morning and had the same thoughts. There wasn't even anything about the police approaching him, asking any questions, if he made any threatening gestures or comments, etc. Course, as you point out, this has to be about the most flagrant attempt at reporting something first; rather than providing any information.

  16. My initial instincts are to say, "No." The RSl just pulling the reserve cable. I would be more inclined to think the skydiver was probably legs out kicking, de-arched and/or turning while performing EP's, thereby resulting in the line twists. I'll let others weigh in with their opinion. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  17. I doubt it. Imagine the number of lawsuits in the U.S. from a bad date? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

  19. Make sure to give the bourbon to the rigger AFTER BEFORE s/he repacks the reserve, or the next pack might not be so good... Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

  22. While there are not enough details in the article, it does mention she graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Assuming she passed the bar there, she may have thought she was covered by http://www.lawschool.com/cabarchange.htm And, considering the constant state of flux California has regarding reciprocity, may have thought she had reciprocity?

  24. Use as much or as little as you like. I've taken bits and pieces from others to develop my own method and continue to learn other things to incorporate into my style. Thanks to all those I've learned from. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  25. There are times that I've had some difficulty reading the student to find out if they want to talk on the way up... So, at the end of training, I tell them, "We'll talk on the way up. If you don't want to talk, feel free to tell me and I'll shut up and take a nap ." And, I've had that backfire... I took an older lady up on the last dive of the day. She had paid for all the grandchildren to jump and she was last. On the way up, I tried talking and she said she was just going to enjoy the view... Just about to doze off and she reaches over and pats me on the leg, "Hey! Are you going to be alright?!?!??" "Yes, Ma'am, why?" Well, you looked like you were going to sleep!" Yes, Ma'am, I was." "Well, how can you be going to sleep when we're about to jump?!?!" We wound up talking the rest of the ride up. I still crack up about that... thinking I had nailed how to determine whether they wanted to talk or not. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
