no more link to "show user's posts"??
marcandalysse replied to marcandalysse's topic in Suggestions and Feedback
I liked being able to click on the 'show all users posts' while visiting their profile. Now I only see 'posts started by user'.....or am I overlooking something?? marc "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton -
Zhills 6th Annual 4-Way Scrambles, Sunday May 25th
marcandalysse replied to lauras's topic in Events & Places to Jump
My first time participating in the ZHills 4way scrambles was a skydiving milestone for me. I encourage everyone to participate, you'll have lots of fun and learn alot too! It's my favorite ZHills event. The only difficult part is thinking up the silliest name for your team---there should be a booby prize for funniest name. marc "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton -
Save up your $$ and do more coach jumps! You have some incredible coaches at ZHills, take full advantage of them....if you want longevity in this sport take it slow....and learn from them! marc "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

PBS miniseries "Carrier" USS Nimitz starts Sun Apr27
marcandalysse replied to marcandalysse's topic in The Bonfire
Normiss, I didn't realize your butt was that hairy! As was mentioned early in the series, many of these recruits come from troubled backgrounds and this is the first encounter with discipline and a work ethic. They described the environment being like a high school. They have been showing the complexities of all the activities on the ship, and how every member of the crew, no matter how low in rank, is needed for everything to run smoothly. So they are showing the lives of some of them in more detail. I am not a bellicose/warlike guy and usually not interested in military topics, but I do like aircraft, and this is a view I certainly won't ever see close up.

PBS miniseries "Carrier" USS Nimitz starts Sun Apr27
marcandalysse replied to marcandalysse's topic in The Bonfire
The beginning chapter of "Deep Survival" by Laurence Gonzales, takes place on a carrier as planes are practicing night landings. Very well written, feels like you are there. The chapter is titled "Look out, here comes Ray Charles" and you can read it on amazon.com I wonder if anyone on DZ.com has worked on a carrier...?

This looks cool! There is a website for the PBS show that has lots of detail - info on the aircraft of carrier airwing11, naval ranks etc: http://www.pbs.org/weta/carrier/ Here's a page from the Nimitz website http://www.nimitz.navy.mil/_links/shipinformation.html detailing its size: Commissioned: May 3, 1975 Propulsion system: Two nuclear power plants Main Engines: Four Speed: 30+ Knots Overall length: 1,092 feet Overall width: 252 feet Beam at waterline: 134 feet Area of flight deck: About 4.5 acres Full load displacement: About 95,000 tons Accommodations: About 6,000 persons - Nimitz reaches over 23 stories high from the keel to the top of the mast. - Four distilling units enable Nimitz engineers to make over 400,000 gallons of fresh water a day, for use by the propulsion plants, catapults and crew. - Nimitz' Food Services Department provides 18,000-20,000 meals a day. - Nimitz can stock at least 70 days of refrigerated and dry storage goods. - Literally tons of wash are done every day by Nimitz' laundry, dry cleaning and tailoring services personnel. - Nimitz' one barber shop trims over 1,500 heads each week. - The Post Office processes more than one million pounds of mail each year. - The ship has a fully-equipped dental facility, staffed by five dentists. - The Medical Department is manned by six doctors, including a general surgeon, who provide everything from surgery to hydro-therapy. The ship also features a 53-bed hospital ward, a three bed ICU, and acts as the hospital ship for the entire Nimitz battle group. - Nuclear power allows the ship to store 50 percent more ammunition and almost twice as much aviation fuel as the largest conventional carrier. -

one time during a 4way annemarie had her dytter set to 4500 and alysse heard it so clearly she thought it was breakoff time (4000). its easy to hear whoops and rebel yells while doing a small round...but not an entire conversation like in PB marc "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

You mean besides the two legged ones at ZHills??? Someone was doing their laundry in the shed near the swoop pond when a gator swished its tail from under the washing machine! That was a 'welcome to Florida' moment! Around the forests of zhills there are deer, fox, wild boar, eagles, wild turkeys and more.... And the swamps also have otters, storks, ibis, sandhill cranes, osprey and other hawks....Its nice to do 'crw' with a hawk around ZHills... And of course the coastal waters have their manatees, dolphins and giant turtles etal. Today we were riding our bicycles by a canal and a dolphin followed alongside us for awhile. That was cool! marc "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

Just saw it at the local IMAX. WOW! So much high energy and it is clear how much they enjoy playing together...Keith's head 4 stories tall-- you can almost fall into the creases in his face and what a sound system that IMAX has!

I more or less agree with this. Better yet, get a job, work for awhile and try to work in a couple different areas to see where you'd most like to focus in your MBA. At USF we had mostly an older group in the MBA program and I learned alot from their experiences in the 'real world'. marc "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton
