    organic farming is not typically touted as some sort of solution to greenhouse gas emissions. It's about not using synthetic conventional pesticides, fertilizers and genetic treatments. The goal is to produce a healthier food product and at the same time create a sustainable environment in the soil to be able to continue using the land for decades instead of the massive conventional monocropping ventures that leach every bit of nutrient from the soil while at the same time adding in copius amounts of pesticides and fertilizers that accumulate in the soils. not sure why the study would only correlate organic farming to greenhouse gas emission when that is not the goal of organic farming.

    I would continue filming until it reaches a point where there is no educational or legal benefit. However, posting such a video publicly is a huge no no. I see it as the same as having surveillance video of a crime being committed. It's the best form of evidence to explain why and how certain events occurred.

    I took a few pictures of the Roseville iFly construction site. It's right next to the highway behind a wells fargo bank. Deep foundation is under way and some of the pieces of ducting are there.

    i'm a total newb but even i'd say you are wasting your time and money buying a rig at this point. learn to freefall and pilot a student canopy for a long while before making that investment. I'm 6'1" and 185 and i am jumping a student rig with a 240 main after a few jumps on a 260. If you insist on buying gear, buy yourself a cheap open face helmet (I like my Benny) and get yourself a decent set of goggles. Beyond that you should probably just focus on learning on what they tell you you should jump while you are being instructed.

    I will go by the site and snap some pics of whatever progress they have made in a week.

    Hi, Figured I'd introduce myself. I'm Jason and I live in Roseville, CA. I have jumped before, 10 years ago at skydive spaceland in Houston, TX. Now after floating and flying around the world for many moons I have settled and have finally decided to get back into the air. Starting my AFF course this sunday and I plan on finishing it as fast as possible and trying to get out of student zone. Looking forward to my my adventure.

    Have you asked what the wreck owner wants for the the remainder of the plane? Maybe you could put up a kickstarter or even just organize with DZ members to take donations. If you can make it worth the plane owners while monetarily maybe you can get him to cooperate. Then you just buy the wreck and do whatever you please with it.
