True. The wind does change about two to three times a day so though it is a turbulant airspace it is "normal" and predictable. Its not a perfect answer but it's a start. For a new guy still trying to figure things out and to improve handings and accuracy, it's a good idea. NOT perfect. But good.

There are 3 marks on the LZ of the DZ. So when you get there the instructors will call out which one is the safest for that moment in time. It's not 100% but it's close enough. It's the usual stuff that a new guy like me isn't 100% sure on. Such as how the air bends around and twists around trees, buildings or other. If i see myself going "long" I know I may have a bumpy ride. Not perfect but better than nothing.

AT my "home" DZ, the very experienced guys do something which I find very nice and very smart. They more or less know where the rough spots are depending on the wind direction and as such will cut indicators into the grass. A smiley face or a target or a spiral. And will tell us, the new guys, "Today the wind is from the north/south/east/west the best place to land to avoid turbulence is X Y or Z organize your landing patters accordingly." And it really helps. Not only do you avoid the turbulence but it significantly helps new people such as myself with learning how to set up a coherent landing pattern as well as working on our accuracy. Thoughts?

Hum....this is a good plan. I need to figure out how to put it into practice! Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

An old English teacher who had a thing for dating Freshmen once said while recovering from a bender. "Men, boys, I have some good news. We men age like fine wine. The ladies....more like French bred." SOB was right now that I think about it. I'm 34....I think I'm OK. But the number of times dates have accused me of having my shit together is a little nutty! Yeah I have a condo, yeah I have a job, no I don't have kids and aren't strung out.....I think if anything as time goes on ladies start looking around and thinking "OH CRAP!" Which isn't always a bad thing. But still, trying to figure out who I am and being OK with it...even if who I am really is a shallow SOB who values a cute ass over a half functioning brain.....is kind of a hard thing to come to terms with. After all society tells one to behave in a given manner but that manner may not be what one wishes to be.

I don't think I got the shaft. I mean OK life could have been a little easier here or there but, I look around and well....I have great friends, I'm in good health and I'm still young at 34. Yeah my head looks like an egg and I wish I were a few inches taller, boy you girls are really picky about dating guys uner 5'10", and who wouldn't want a bit more cash. But I think I'm "OK". Yeah it sucks I got divorced via text message and yeah it does suck that my "perfect trajectory" was blown out of the water and yeah it does stink that dating is all a numbers game where you have to hedg one date with anoteher just to never be let down. But....well it could be much worse. I'm just trying to figure out who the hell I am? Try to get some level of Zen in my life. After all it's one thing to type as if you are all cock and balls, it's another to walk as if you are all cock and balls. And in a funny way...the ladies just seem to love that cock and balls.

It's all about self respect. Pease don't get me wrong, she was and I'm sure is a very cool girl. I was very lucky to have been married to her for as long as it lasted and those were some of the best years of my life and maybe just maybe I'll get lucky again and find someone as equally amazing as her. That being said. I have a bit of self respect for myself. I may not be the end all and be all, though the voices in my head seem to think I am, but as I said a man has to have a given level of self respect. I would not slam the door in her face, i would not say anything rude. I'm sure I would just say "Thank you but no thank you." and quietly close the door. I have no real clue who I am, for 8 years I was a husband and a friend to a very cool person who I would have done anything for. But now? Now it's about me. And I have to figure out what "I" want and what "I" need and not be worried about what others think. And that really is not an easy thing to do.

Some do. It depends on the facility and the level of injury. You really don't want the body to recover too quickly and risk one part damaging another part. But for those with serious injury it's just an issue of the drug will do no good. The body just won't use it and it will cause other issues.

Every guy wants this to happen. A woman admitting she was wrong? I mean talk about a cold day in hell right? But let's say it does. What would Shah do? Well simple, smile and close the door and go make myself a cup of tea. A man has to above all have self respect and know his own self worth. And I know full well I'm worth more than that.

You know this would have been a great question for Dr. Shah. BUT NO! http://www.explosm.net/db/files/Comics/Rob/goodboy.png OK maybe that will help a little? This may also clear things up a bit more http://images2.memegenerator.net/ImageMacro/4984561/bitches-be-crazy.jpg?imageSize=Medium&generatorName=Joseph-Ducreux And as always http://imatvaddict.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/tumblr_laq5b7qht21qa8syjo1_500.png Been there done that....boy did I feel stupid.

I'm shallow but I'm ok with it.

Seriously? I picked up on the red flags and that's just from hearing it. Albeit that's only one side. Like I said brother, one day I'm making dinner and being called "the best husband a girl can have" and talking about planning a trip to New Orleans for a quick vacation and the next......i get a text. I have gathered a bit of info as to what happened behind my back but that's for the real bonfire.

Parachutist P31-P44 Very well written article. Sadly I will miss out on freeze fest and safety day...EMBA classes.

You know...I just rememberd. One of the kids in my extended family actually started his own little firm. He approached a few local stores, mom and pop shops, asked if they would pay him if he produced a comercial for youtube for them? Nothing much $100 or so. Well it worked, and now he's charging $1,000 per and has a waitign list. I don't have access to youtube from work so I can't share them. But I'm sure someone at your local DZ has a very good camera. And I'm sure there is at least one local bar that is looking for a comercial put two and two together and maybe that could be her "In". If nothing she makes a few $$$ and it's a good learning experience. Just a thought. Hope it helps and again good luck.

But things become a pissing match real quick. The above videos were perfect. Perhaps the best I have ever seen. Maybe...just maybe...to get more people to stay in the sport it wouldn't hurt if there were some sort of sticky which had vidoes like this and others showing what each level of an AFF should look like and a POV view of what a student landing should be. And for someone with free time and a bit of skill there is a real market need for beginner books and videos. But so far thank you. This has been very helpful. I greatly appreciate it.

Nah I live near NYC and line in NJ and well it's amazing how many good looking young girls seem to go for the cut! Graudate from university and CHOP! Ifact I was on a date no more than a few weeks ago where the girl on the dating sight had photos of her with long hair....but when she showed up....it was GONE! And me being me, I said "Why did you do that?" She game me some dumb answer.....she was a one date wonder...but she wants to go out again. Maybe she can get extensions.
