Real Player has tons of system files & quality seems poor/ just downloaded a so called "super pass for 14 days trial"..........lets see, why did I want it in the first place? Think to play music in Kazza- can only select 1 tune at a time- in Real Player can make your own playlist and play continuous. What I'm reading from Quick Time- "they support the most formats"... What is the best user friendly format? RAM..MOV...WMA.... Does any have smaller file size?? Which format is best quality?? thanx, Smiles eustress. : a positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being.

My problem: Toooo many players installed and they start to overlap on the media files they support... of course each player wants to be your default media player......... Which media player supports the most formats?? Smiles eustress. : a positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being.

Skydivers can party anytime regardless if it's New Years Eve- or if the kind of girl that could make a whole roomful of people fall madly in bed with each other.......is present. memories... one night a group of us were out in the peas for safety meeting/ a group at the firepit decided that they were missing out on something out in the peas, so they all dropped their pants and ran out........ wow- talk about entertainment. Smiles

Hello all, I am having a house party for New Years and looking for suggestions. Will be mixture of skydivers & wuffos. What has made parties memorable that you have been to-- or had??? Re: have excellent variety of tunes, movies, booze & appetizers... Smiles

ahhhh-stress?? Well, your nerves are wired if you smoke, and smoking doesn't help anyone deal with stress. I know some that have quit the cigs and just smoke the weed. Massage therapy & exercise is great- my massage therapists says....relax- you need to relax, stretch, power walk,swim. "I skydive", she says "but isn't that stress??"...I say "yes- but it is the best stress in the world". Everyone deals with stress differently. In a line up at the store the lady infront of me was having a mental breakdown because there wasn't her brand of toothpaste on the shelf??????????????? She was heading home for a drink.......... Smiles

This was my "next plan"..for complete withdrawal. ZYBAN reduces withdrawal symptoms and the urge to smoke- I am ready for it....worth giving it a try?? Have heard so much negative remarks with the "patch"... Hey, thanx for the help guys! Support is GOOD.. Smiles

I'm pretty proud for 6 months now to have accomplished making rules..don't smoke in the car (no ashtray), don't smoke in the house, don't smoke in my office. This time of the year, outside is not comfortable /rain/wind/snow/..have got down to less than 1/2 pack a day plus never enjoy smoking a whole cigarette. I hate ashtrays with butts, hate smell of smoke...hate sore throats. I used to luv smoking when I came down from a dive, even before I packed...actually always smoked more at the d.z. than anywhere. Now to take the next step and actually stop buying them, and quit. Anybody have any secrets to success??? Thanx, Smiles

Here in the Fraser Valley...(Vancouver, B.C. Canada) we got some white today! Yee ha, talk about "sweet timing". Also, cannot beat the cable channel "Shaw" that programs a "log burning in a fireplace" around the clock......guess what? First time I've enjoyed company where we are all sitting talking around a t.v. watching a log burn!! Have a good one, Smiles

Have been skydiving 15 yrs., used to think BASE was for crazies- no way would you ever catch me close. In the last 6 yrs. I have got more and more curious, watched tons of footage, read everything I can and have come to accepting and respecting BASE and BASE jumpers alot more. I am open to getting all the info I can, this is one place where I've asked questions- and got answers from experienced. This forum would never affect my decisions as I feel info is needed from many varieties of sources, research- ask & ask & ask questions. Have 1000+ skydives, want to concentrate more on accuracy...interested in Cave BASE, still doing research, talking to those that have experienced- learning everything possible before preparing to take a BASE course taught by my mentors. You have to be joking???????? Reminds me working manifest trying to answer students questions.. can they just put on a board and skysurf on their first jump???? The reason I respect the BASE jumpers I know is that they were extremely experienced and current with all aspects of skydiving before trying BASE- and still are. They worked very hard to gain knowledge and researched, and earned the respect they deserve. Once I posted reply to a jumper who just made his first bird-man dive and was so happy. I didn't think anything about asking how many jumps he had, just figured if he had purchased a bird-man suit he would have support from d.z., other jumpers...and would have the knowledge needed to fly one. On his next bird-man dive he bounced. He had borrowed the suit......... I understand fully how forums for BASE exchanging information would be very controversial- on one side exchange of information would be more available world wide and improve safety. On the other could be so dangerous to those that think they do not have to work hard for all experience necessary -before trying BASE.

According to my knowledge ADHD is a controversial diagnosis with no scientific or medical basis. ADHD is not a deficit, defect, or neurological disorder. There is no proof of any physical abnormalties in the brain/ no biochemical imbalances. Adderal causes: inattention, hyperactivity & impulsivity--the very things it is supposed to treat. It suppresses creative, spontanious & autonomous activity. It has adverse effects on the brain, mind & behaviour including the production of drug induced psychosis. It is addictive and a common drug abused today. Using pharmaceutical drugs to subdue & regulate behaviour (psychostimulants- amphetamine mixed salts) is now illegal in my province (B.C. Canada) I am seeking information to confirm that risk takers have a higher number of endorphins and endorphin receptors- hoping to find research to confirm.

..interesting for sure. My boyfriend started skydiving 2 yrs. before I did (1985) He tried extremely hard to "get me into the sport, at this point in our relationship it would be awesome to be doing something we enjoyed together- but skydiving wasn't my choice. For my birthday I was handed a red rose & envelope..opening it I was thinking "a gift certificate?"....oh no- a tandem gift certificate...shit, just wanted him to step back. Carried that around in my purse for at least 1 year... I did want to try, but only because I wanted to- not because "he" wanted me to. Out of the blue one day- I decided to make that tandem jump, ...and went to the d.z. by myself and made it (he was so so upset because he wanted to be there)... Long story short- I decided I wanted to skydive and the only way I was comfortable taking my training was if he wasn't around- he started jumping at another d.z. Damn- looking back I love the guy to death for being a skydiver and putting up with me! We do jump together sometimes now but mostly he may be manifested on the same load- but not on the same dive. Some how our relationship has worked, we are both skydivers but separate people in the sport. Might even get married one day!! --my goal is to experience cave BASE- this is even more so- definately something I want to experience myself.

Endorphins give us a natural high- producing natural opiate effects: enable the body to create it's own anesthetic for pain/ enhance the immune function/ lower blood pressure/ slow heart rate/ enable performance of mental tasks quickly & accurately. Fear was much more prevalent in the past than in our modern world today. The desire to get endorphins to the brain is highly addictive. It is easy to conclude that one can desire behaviors that stimulate the production of endorphins. As I have not yet made my first BASE jump, (over 1000 skydives with full awareness of it's addiction).. know that the flood of nerve hormone "dopamine" to the pleasure center of my brain will be far more potent with BASE. Do BASE jumpers have a higher number of endorphins and endorphin receptors in their brains??????
