I have had a lot of contract jobs yes...and when I was in my early 20's and I didnt have my degree yet, there were a lot of jobs I didnt want from the start so I am definately NOT bragging...no point in that I'm just stating the obvious that you cant get so wrapped up with your career that you stop living after you lose your job. Just pick up your chin and I wll admit being around supportive people ALWAYS helps. My family and friends have always been there for me no matter who I was working for. I also beleive that the next 3 years are going to be huge the existance of humans in general. I just have always had the thought that my family came first and then my job. I like working and I like my job I have now but if I got laid off I'd just refesh my resume and get back to looking for another one. But I am NOT bragging about having so many jobs...and dont think I landed a 65,000 a year job by having 50 previous employers on my resume.

I would also go and verify if this wasnt malware. You can go to http://malwarebytes.org/ and download the application (its free) and do a spyware scan. You could have run into some spyware or malware that could be affecting your machine. download the most current updates for both and if you are still haivng issues after doing a full scan write back.

Just today two people in my department (IT) got laid off today. People are getting all stressed out and upset at possibly getting axed themselves. Then they looked over and me doing my job and appearantly unaffected by all of this and they asked me why I wasnt stressed out. Well the simple explanation to this is...I've had lots of jobs I didnt like before I got into a career I am good at. I've had at least 50 or more jobs in my life and I've been there before...getting laid off...getting fired....quitting cause someone pissed me off. I've ran the gamut and quite frankly I know that when I go home I've got my 2 weenie dogs with me and if I had to I could go get a gun from my dads house (he's got an assload) and go hunt for and kill my food if necessary. I know that life isnt always on your side and I dont understand that family of people in California that lost their jobs and suddenly they decide its best to shoot the kids in the dome and kill themselves...give me a fucking break! Go do what everyone else does and find another job. Personally there are no jobs beneath me. If I HAVE To I'd clean toilets to make sure my family had something to eat. My girlfriend has had the same job for over 20 years and now the company she is working for is laying off 5,000 people worldwide and 500 people at her location. (Its quite large). So lets do a poll...how many jobs have YOU had in your lifetime...can you beat 50 (or more) jobs in 39 years of life? Give me your input.

enough about the police...were there some hot ladies at the party with no pants? Seeing some hot muff (with pictures) could ease the pain a little.

I have an Optima, and when I got it I opted to get the LED, but I dont want to drill any holes in my Mamba so I just dont use it.

We're going off the deep end!

I cant give you any viruses or malware because I'm in IT and my IP can easily be tracked...however I would like to give you another advertisment on craigslist my sister sent me that should (hopefully) bring a smile to your face. This could have been a boring regular car ad..... but this guy is hilarious. NINJA HAULER: 2005 Nissan Xterra - $12900 (Ronan / Lake County ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to: sale-926508578@craigslist.org [?] Date: 2008-11-19, 10:04PM MST OK, let me start off by saying this Xterra is only available for purchase by the manliest of men (or women). My friend, if it was possible for a vehicle to sprout chest hair and a five o'clock shadow, this Nissan would look like Tom Selleck. It is just that manly. It was never intended to drive to the mall so you can pick up that adorable shirt at Abercrombie & Fitch that you had your eye on. It wasn't meant to transport you to yoga class or Linens & Things. No, that's what your Prius is for. If that's the kind of car you're looking for, then just do us all a favor and stop reading right now. I mean it. Just stop. This car was engineered by 3rd degree ninja super-warriors in the highest mountains of Japan to serve the needs of the man that cheats death on a daily basis. They didn't even consider superfluous nancy boy amenities like navigation systems (real men don't get lost), heated leather seats (a real man doesn't let anything warm his butt), or On Star (real men don't even know what the hell On Star is). No, this brute comes with the things us testosterone-fueled super action junkies need. It has a 265 HP engine to outrun the cops. It's got special blood/gore resistant upholstery. It even has a first-aid kit in the back. You know what the first aid kit has in it? A pint of whiskey, a stitch-your-own-wound kit and a hunk of leather to bite down on when you're operating on yourself. The Xterra also has an automatic transmission so if you're being chased by Libyan terrorists, you'll still be able to shoot your machine gun out the window and drive at the same time. It's saved my bacon more than once. It has room for you and the four hotties you picked up on the way to the gym to blast your pecs and hammer your glutes. There's a tow hitch to pull your 50 caliber anti-Taliban, self cooling machine gun. I also just put in a new windshield to replace the one that got shot out by The Man. My price on this bad boy is an incredibly low $12,900, but I'll entertain reasonable offers. And by reasonable, I mean don't walk up and tell me you'll give me $5,000 for it. That's liable to earn you a Burmese-roundhouse-sphincter-kick with a follow up three fingered eye-jab. Would it hurt? Hell yeah. Let's just say you won't be the prettiest guy at the Coldplay concert anymore. There's only 69,000 miles on this four-wheeled hellcat from Planet Kickass. Trust me, it will outlive you and the offspring that will carry your name. It will live on as a monument to your machismo. Now, go look in the mirror and tell me what you see. If it's a rugged, no holds barred, super brute he-man macho Chuck Norris stunt double, then contact me. I might be out hang-gliding or BASE jumping or just chilling with my ladies, but I'll get back to you. And when I do, we'll talk about a price over a nice glass of Schmidt while we listen to Johnny Cash. To sweeten the deal a little, I'm throwing in this pair of MC Hammer pants for the man with rippling quads that can't fit into regular pants. Yeah, you heard me. FREE MC Hammer pants. Rock on.

DO what I do...fold crap hands and when youve got a nice pocket pair, raise high. That will eliminate (usually) several people from the pot. Then wait for the flop and if you get trips go all in. Sure you could get beat by a straight or a full house but its 60 percent luck 40 percent skill. Be agressive...youll have a better chance.

Probably the same rig because ultimately it is up to the individual because we have to execute our emergency procedures to counteract malfunctions. I know that I would prefer a RSL because last year I had my 1st cutaway. I had a suspension line wrapped around the top of the canopy and it induced a hard left turn before I released the brakes. Naturally I checked my altitrack and I was at 3,500 feet and I decided I should chop it before I lost any more altitude. So I cut away and before I could get my hands around the reserve handle (even though I was looking right at it...the RSL kicked in my reserve and when I checked my altimeter a few seconds later I was at 2,450 (approx). I know this did save valuable seconds if I had decided to be a dumbass and wait longer. But if necessary I would have pulled the silver handle. I know I dont have high jump numbers but once I get my own rig I plan on blasting the number 27 out of the park and one day I'd love to be sitting on 2700 but for now I have to deal with always being called a noob because of my numbers. I have no thoughts of advancing myself too fast, or downsizing at a fast rate. I just wanna jump and eventually learn how to freefly and pilot a wingsuit. I know that we as jumpers are ultimately responsible for saving ourselves so if there is a piece of gear that could assist in that I think money is a small price to pay for being around another day to jump again.

Thanks for your input sir, I appreciate it.

I am now ordering my new rig and I am going to get a new container, new cypres2, new reserve, but I am looking for a good used main. I dont know of anyone at my DZ that jumps icarus canopies so I dont know how to demo one, if they have any to jump. I was going to go the Sabre2 190 route but the one I was looking at is already sold. I found a good deal on a Safire2 189, and I was wondering if anyone had any good/bad things to say about them and their flight characteristics. Thanks Paul

Thanks for the assistance.

I am now ordering my new rig. The Infinity container I am ordering comes with the standard RSL setup. However, now Javelin rigs come with the Skyhook RSL as well as mirage rigs as well. Is there a vast difference between the skyhook and a standard RSL. I mean doesnt an rsl simply use your main as a large pilot chute to easily deploy your reserve. And if there is a massive difference between a standard RSL and a skyhook, why wont more manufacturers jump on the bandwagon?

Just make sure she doesnt try and claim your rig!

So what you're saying is that all parents should go sniff some LEAD based paint and their kids wont commit to a life of crime? Where DO you get your facts?

Finally a topic in the speakers corner I can totally agree to. You, sir have hit the nail on the head.

So why dont you go and poll some of the Jewish people that were in auschwitz and ask THEM if the holocaust was a big lie. Let them tell you the stories of their friends and family that were murdered in front of them and then ask them if it ALL A LIE. This forum is a fucking joke.

Perhaps he's intimidated by hot ladies that arent afraid to jump out of airplanes...

Personally...if I had a girlfriend and her mom was a skydiver, I'd be picking her brain to learn what jumping was like. Ever since I was a kid I watched point break and I've always been fascinated by it. I dont think there are any movies these days that represent skydivers like they did in the past and most kids these days cant relate to it.

so what youre trying to say is that I'm the only perv on this website?

Well...does he know you jump? You see you are a woman in power. You are not 'afraid' like many women are, and in fact you cannot be manipulated like other ladies he has dealt with in the past. Personally I'd take it like you said and run with it. He seems a little scared of you, This is especially nice if you truly dont like him.

First like Bunge said..make sure you have admin rights. Then you can simply go to the add/remove programs applet and remove it ...only make sure you have another web brower installed...(IE7) or download the most current version of firefox before you remove it. Re-install it and you should be able to access that tab. But umm...the only reason MOST people use that is for hiding their history from their spouses....you trying to hide some porn sites from your spouse? Just curious.

I weigh 150 lbs and ever if I was to start freeflying and had a premature deployment having the risers break with 2,500 lbs of force would (at least I think) would rip my butt open (if not more)

Because I'm ordering a used Sabre2 190 main that has around 100 jumps on it. I wanted to forego the brand new main since it would be harder to pack, and because I'd probably be downsizing to a 170 within 100-150 jumps or so. And the used 190 I am going to get has slinks. Thanks to all of you for your advice...I appreciate it.

I am actually ordering an Infinity container.
