  1. Is that one of those sites that will get you massive spyware? I don't have an IPOD, but am currently learning how to edit video on my computer and need to download some music for dubbing videos. I'm not *that* concerned about having to pay for it, but I'd rather it be free when possible, and I really need it to be in whatever format will let me play with it in Adobe Premiere. Plus, I'll probably buy an IPOD soon, so it should work with that too. Any suggestions for where to go, and more importantly what to avoid? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  2. I have, but not since I was 10 years old or so (other than calling in hungover). Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  3. He weighs 210 lbs. The main was a Navigator 280. The CYPRES was a student model. I wasn't looking at him in the few seconds before the CYPRES fired, but by all reports he wasn't spiralling, just turning "aggressively". I also wouldn't expect that canopy/wingloading to generate enough speed while turning to fire a CYPRES, student model or not. Personally, I don't see an advantage to student models. It's much more common to see students chop things they really don't need to than to see them not perform EPs when they really do need to. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  4. Did you notice how many tandems I did this weekend? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  5. I believe we've had this conversation Jim, and I seem to remember telling you that you're covered in that regard. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  6. My daughter. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  7. :6:0 1 night demo into a high school football game 1 currency jump with a guy who hadn't jumped in 15 years. Among other things, I briefed him on the emergence of AADs and 2-out procedures. We went up and had a nice skydive, then he got himself a personal biplane by turning a little too hard at ~600 ft (student CYPRES, Navigator 280). Nice soft landing. A couple zoo 6-ways A tracking dive A 13-way for a guy's 100th. Much beer was consumed and fun had by skydivers at Deutschesfest Friday and Saturday night.

  8. I agree 100%. I think the US militia should be allowed to legally own weaponry that would be effective against our own military in the event we had to overthrow a tyrannical government. Handguns and rifles don't make a militia "well-armed." Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  9. I'm not sure why that's more disturbing than double-fatalities, but yeah...so can I. The two students who fell out of their harnesses, the Utah landing incident, and the Virginia landing incident (didn't that TI die in a subsequent landing incident on his sport rig, almost exactly one year later?)

  10. Some days it does. I suppose that's still better than it sucking to be WITH me...in bed! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  11. The lady at the Mongolian BBQ restaurant where I got my lunch today gave me THREE fortune cookies. I figured I'd read them all and just believe the best one. I got: Seek out the significance of your problem at this time. Try to understand...in bed. You will be transforming a situation in your life now with a positive attitude...in bed. This year your highest priority will be your family...in bed. I just thought you all should know. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  12. Ditto to all of that. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  13. Poor Dave... I know. It's horrible, isn't it? Please don't tease me about it, I'm quite sensitive. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  14. You're only as damaged as you let yourself be. My early to mid childhood sucked, and I doubt many people would be surprised if I let some of it define who I am. I simply cut the ties to that part of my life and try to not let it affect me. Life mirrors skydiving in that once you've started, you can't pause or start over. You have to get over what happened earlier in your life/skydive and deal with what's coming up next. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  15. On the trivial side of things, I spent most of my childhood in poverty, and we ate like it. My mother's version of meatloaf was about 60% oatmeal and I put milk and sugar on top of popcorn plenty of times for "cereal" in the morning. As a result, I rarely eat meatloaf now, and have to force myself to eat what I perceive as "poor people food" (cheap fillers like pasta, beans, rice, potatoes). I'll routinely eat just a large, good quality steak for dinner, with nothing on the side but a nice bottle of wine. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

  17. I mentioned the same thing in another thread earlier this week. 8 students since August 2005...6 in the process of skydiving and 2 in a plane crash. I'm hoping that statistically it's just an outlying year, but only time will tell. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  18. Mmmmm Yummy. That is why you don't get to be the Gynecologist. I only have a few absolute rules, but one of them is not eating anything that reminds me of a grilled cheese sandwich when I spread it apart. Also, the presence of anything resembling blue cheese is grounds for automatic disqualification. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  19. Your mother was a hamster and your father smells of elderberries. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  20. I watched it Monday night and thought it was pretty good. It did a great job depicting the overwhelming confusion in those first couple of hours. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  21. On some skydives, that's just a subtle way of saying "Thank you for assuming the role of target" Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  22. Her ordination is cause for great joy and celebration, but the reason she did it triggers angst and bewilderment regarding Maria's state of mind. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  23. You, his family, and all his other friends have my sincerest condolences. A double malfunction is an extremely rare occurence, and I can't tell you how much I wish this one hadn't cost us our friends. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  24. I agree. Too bad the person who wrote it is the subject of this thread. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  25. Consider yourself dead to me. Living in Pullman is no excuse for not taking UW classes online. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
