  1. The best way to block ads is by blocking them in the hosts file or your DNS server (that way it's not browser specific). I do both. My NAS is serving as my DNS server and I wrote a script so that every Sunday, it will download the newest ad block hosts file and basically import it into the DNS server config. Any device that gets its DHCP from my router will get my NAS as it's only DNS server. I also have the hosts file installed in my laptops as well as my iPhone.

  4. I own my own tandem rig, when I harness the student up, they're not allowed to smoke until the harness is back off. The other students don't get told that, and I have to stop them from smoking in the gear once in a while.

  5. Rob, Most of the Spectra has a synthetic coating and is not a latex coating. Cheers MEL Twardo's canopy lines came with a lead based coating.

  6. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but if you are an attractive woman at a topless beach anywhere in the world there are good odds your breasts are already on the web. There are sites that are devoted exclusively to that subject and use covert camera rigs so as not to "alarm the subject" Well, we know where a couple of DZ.com guys will be searching for a while.

  7. Guy that took me on my first tandem went to that school... He said if he had the option to do it over, he wouldn't go there again. He DID say that it was beautiful out there though.

  9. They were suppossed to launch today but due to bad WX in Houston, that got pushed back till tomorrow at sunrise. They did say they put a day of wiggle room in their flight plan, so it should still get to Cali on time, but that they may have to take out some of the flybys enroute. I don't see what or where they were going to do or what they changed to though.

  10. One of the guys at my DZ recently got an email and friend request from someone running for the BOD and saying congrats on his D-license, blah blah blah... Sounded a lot like lobbying for votes.

  12. When I got my V3-M and packed it, it didn't feel right. After talking with UPT and sending some pictures back and forth (even visited their production floor), turns out, I didn't distribute the bulk properly in the reserve. Moral of the story: make sure your rigger knows how to pack the V3 or it could feel 'off'.

  15. You're doing it wrong YOU'RE supposed to make THEM turn when they don't want to. mwahahahaha I wouldn't ask for it, but would consider doing a tandem if it helps a friend get his/her ratings

    stow aways

    Where there is a will, there is a way. I'm willing to bet there are a large number of skydivers that could get their way past airport security fairly easily. I could probably do it if I really wanted to. Or you could just run out of gas on your jet-ski and jump a fence, then run across two runways at JFK.

  18. Thats a VERY big part of it. Another would be that the RV9 will outfly the 172 in speed and fuel use. Besides, it sounds kinda fun to build your own airplane. How does your 210 compare to the -10/-12's?

  19. That is not an excuse. Either be a professional or find some other career. Any "instructor", regardless of gender, who harasses a student sexually (including hitting on them) should have their rating pulled. Before someone's 18 year old daughter gets pawed, she tells Dad who happens to be a lawyer and... well I'm sure you can all figure out where that ends. It'd sure be nice to know where this happened and who the ride operator is. This is not someone I want my soon to be 18 year old niece jumping with. Would you like your daughter to jump with him? Again, you provide no useful guidance to the OP. We got it, the TI was unprofessional... the question is, what should she do?

  20. I had an out of date repack card when I showed up to a boogie once. Manifest guy caught it, I asked for his pen and corrected the card on the spot. Guess I forgot to sign my data card the week prior when I repacked it.

  21. Hey, just doing a follow up. "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message
  22. So... what did ya decide? I'm looking at putting an RV-9a together. Old fart that owns our airport has a dozen or so under his belt and is more than willing to help me make it happen. Ain't got the money yet, but hey, ya buy it in stages right?!

  23. Think about that for a few minutes. Matter of fact, ask Matt Cline if he agrees. Safety is number 1, period. Professionalism is something that should be required, but let's face it, ours isn't the only industry which has people that may take advantage of their position to get their rocks off. I never said it was RIGHT of him do do it, but the damage is done and she's got the hots for him... now what should she do? Even if he never spoke a word to her at the dz, she still will see him and think about him.

  24. Depending on the rigger and the time of day, there ARE ways to grease the wheels and get it moving a little faster. Lunch time and they've been stuck rigging/packing so far all day, offer to get them something to eat/something to drink (don't tempt them with alcohol yet) Dinner-ish and they're finally finishing the work for the day, offer to get them something to eat and/or a cold beer. Not saying it WILL work, but it probably wouldn't hurt your chances of skipping a couple spots up their to-do list.

  25. Ummm.... how about he gets HIS lust in check? He's the supposed professional here. She's a paying customer who deserves to be treated with respect. Apparently he was able to safely complete the skydive, so while I agree it was unprofessional for him to come on to the student, I don't think it made the jump unsafe.
