    i use liquid eyewear with foam inserts. One of the more expensive options, but they get the job done and make you look like a bauuse. http://www.liquidpolarized.com/style/gasket

    If your goal is to go to grad school id say make 35k working as a chemist then reapply. I assume your going to grad school for chemistry? If you got rejected now why will they accept you next year? I imagine spending a year working in the chemistry field will look a lot better when you reapply then saying i spent the last year 'screwing it' just my 2 cents

    I say the fastest way to find out if its damaged is just go ahead and jump it.

    looking for gear can in a pain in the ass, i started looking for stuff in the last week of may, and didnt find anything until the first week of july. In the end though i did end up finding an excellent used rig and the only thing i bought brand new was a cypress 2. Buying used will definitively save you a decent amount of money so it would probably be worth it to just keep hunting for a while. Besides just looking in the dz classified section be sure to check out the online gear stores as well like sunshine factory (where i ended up getting my rig) chuting star, and square1. good luck finding something that works for you.

    when i was going through AFF i would be so focused on jumping i would go the whole day forgetting to eat and frequently got head aches. once i started to always make sure i ate b4 jumping/throughout the day i stopped getting headaches. also drink a lot, i drink 2-3 gatorades after almost every jump. eating / drinking a lot will probably help quite a bit

    when ur first learning ur bound to have some rough landings, if for no other reason use their gear so u can put grass stains and beat the hell out of their stuff instead of your own. i imagine most pple use student gear atleast until they get their A, 25 jumps, and some pple continue to rent well after 25 jumps jumping different containers and canopies to figure out exactly what kind of rig is best for them. Having your own rig before uve even started skydiving is really a pretty funny idea.

    they could big just focusing on area and not weight when saying the smaller person falls faster. a smaller person has less surface area so 100 pound 'small' person will fall faster than a 100 pound 'big' person because the bigger person will have more surface area to resist the wind to slow themselves down. if by bigger they mean heavier they every1 in ur class is retarded lol, the heavier u fall with air resistance the faster u fall as uve seen on ur skydives and the exact reason why things like weight belts exist. and ps: i didnt take the time to read everyone else's responses so sry ive im repeating something that has already been said.

    i use adblock for firefox and have no idea what you are talking about. ads are a think of the past havnt seen any banners since ive installed it months ago. maybe were using different adblockers? mine is called 'adblock plus' on the firefox addon page and its absolutely perfect.

    i mailed in for my 'A' about 3.5 weeks ago and saw they just charged my credit card today, so i imagine ill be getting my actual license in the mail sometime soon now.

    well i guess it depends on what ur doing, if theres something in particular that you are struggling with then sure why not. if so far you are learning everything nice and smoothly id wait until u are learning some movements or flying techniques that are more difficult and then get into a tunnel then to perfect them. just my .02

    no its not going to happen. give up now. lol jk. just stick with it. all your hard work will pay off when you finally get there. i was extremely anxious in the plane for my 12 jumps then i got more comfortable with the experience as a whole and everything just came together. just be patient with yourself and as long as ur having fun who cares, the more you do it, the more comfortable youll get doing it and eventually you will have very little to no anxiety when moving towards to door. although a little anxiety is probably a good thing lol. just keep jumping and have fun, ull get there :)

    if my first jump course they said they recommend waiting 24 hours before jumping after giving blood. however the instructor went on to say he jumped as little as 4 hours after giving blood and never experienced any problems.

    whats the easiest way to deposit onto pokerstars? i have no trouble getting money in and out of full tilt. however, when i try to use echecks or my bank of america debit card on poker stars my bank always declines the transaction to pokerstars.

    yes i understand what u meant but i dont understand why u said better than expected. u should expect a strong correlation. if u dont go to class you're not going to do well in it, its that simple.
  21. lolimfalling
    really? way better that expected? who on earth wouldve guessed that those who actually go to class get better grades.
  22. lolimfalling
    more that likely i would just say the wind was a little bit stronger on one jump vs the other.

    hanging out in the library doing calculus hw, i wish i was ur derivative so i could lie tangent to ur curves, or i wish i was ur integral so i could be the area under your curves are huge hits that work every time.

    one thing he could try if this just started happening some what recently is doing start/help and support/ and in there. there is a option called system restore or restore my computer to an earlier time or some thing of the such (im not on an xp running pc right now) and u can open that and just select a date from a couple of days or even weeks ago to whenever it was working and see if that does it. when doing a system restore it wont delete any files or any new documents hes made so he doenst have to wry about backing anything up. it only takes about 15-20 mins too so its worth a shot.

    its not that their legs are bent that makes them spin out of control its that they are not symmetrical as mentioned. if u bend both legs to until your heels touch your butt you will be unstable and begin to slide backwards but you will not spin at all. if u have one leg bent more than the other, it doesnt matter if there bent to your butt or just a little bit, your going to spin.
