Simply refreshing the pie chart seems like it resends your vote. When I do it it says "Confirm form resubmission" and get the option for continue or cancel. It appears to be working since the vote went from 33.82 to 33.90 while I was doing it maybe 10-15 times Ohhh Get firefox and install "reload every" addon. Vote and then set reload every to refresh the pie chart open new tab and repeat!

Anyone using Scottrade or Ameritrade? Just wanted to see if anyone here has some input on it. All my searches here pull up stuff from < '06. Just looking at playing with stocks, I've got other stuff for long term.

Wouldn't a parachutist be considered a 'glider'? Since Far 91.113 references a 'powered parachute' but not parachute individually I would assume they would already be covered under a different category in this case glider. In that case a skydiver under canopy would take right of way over everything except other gliders or balloons. I included Weight-shift-control aircraft for reference. I read the definition of 'parachute' as a round canopy. We are aircraft depending on the definition of 'flight' which the FAA does not define. So I say we are jumping foldable gliders. Circular logic is making my head hurt. Just trying to help if I can. ======================= Far 1.1 General Definitions Aircraft means a device that is used or intended to be used for flight in the air. Glider means a heavier-than-air aircraft, that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its lifting surfaces and whose free flight does not depend principally on an engine. Weight-shift-control aircraft means a powered aircraft with a framed pivoting wing and a fuselage controllable only in pitch and roll by the pilot's ability to change the aircraft's center of gravity with respect to the wing. Flight control of the aircraft depends on the wing's ability to flexibly deform rather than the use of control surfaces. Parachute means a device used or intended to be used to retard the fall of a body or object through the air. ================ Far 91.113 (updated 8Sep2009) 1) A balloon has the right-of-way over any other category of aircraft; (2) A glider has the right-of-way over an airship, powered parachute, weight-shift-control aircraft, airplane, or rotorcraft. (3) An airship has the right-of-way over a powered parachute, weight-shift-control aircraft, airplane, or rotorcraft.

10 years ago in high school I had a friends dad give me a canopy. Its been 'packed' in a backpack I had and I dragged it around the neighborhood a few times after he gave it to me to open it up. Almost got a friend to try and parasail with it behind a car after we got it too (I was 16)...couldn't get past the part about having to run behind the car and or how to land safely so we decided against it I pulled it out today out of curiosity and started looking it over and found the following info. DOM 1959 and a USAF serial number. The length of one panel is 13' on the ground. Round canopy. White and Orange panels. My guess is an ejection seat canopy. Any insights? I've attached a photo of the DOM printing, and a youtube link to a video I took of the canopy lying on the floor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=959AWW14IlM Video kinda sucks, too dark + cheap video camera.

Not sure if its still possible, but for my first few jumps (5 years go) someone suggested to buy some seatbelt covers for your car. (you know the 1/2-1" thick foam pads that velcro over the seatbelt so it doesn't dig into your neck)....buy 2 and stick one on each legstrap. Cheap fix for rental gear as it can be installed/taken off easily. Also heard velco can be dangerous around a rig. Any current skydivers thoughts on this? (I've been out for 5 years)

Hey! Those were my nuts!

I was curious if the The Farm had any big boy rigs so I could start jumping when my weight got down to match the (big boy rigs 250's?) 3-4months, or if I'll have to wait till I get into the 220s (8+mo). Been tossing the idea of buying a rig but hopefully I'll be down to a smaller canopy requirement both skillfully and weight wise. I would take a trip up there but its 2.5hrs drive from my house....maybe I just need to anyway. Been out of jumping for 5 years and the sky is calling my name again. I got in 18 jumps before I let life/money get me out of jumping... I'm on the heavy side but thats being worked on....spent the last 7 months doing weightlifting and now changing my diet to lose weight. Anyway currently at 275lbs @ 6'2". Thanks

Is it below freezing where you are? If so just grab a cup of water and pour it around the door seal on his vehicle. It will leave a bead and freeze his door shut. You can do the same thing with the tires although less effective. If its hot where/when you do this, grab a piece of bologna and lay a few on the roof of the car. The sun will do nasty stuff to the bologna and I've heard it can eat through paint.

Wow so many Pinneaple/Ham combos. I dislike ham but Pinneapple and Pepperoni is awesome! Yes, Just try it....

Exactly what Icon134 said. I took it 1.5years ago and yeah you know your doing good if you start getting really difficult/indepth questions as the test basically takes a question as if you would get a 600, get it right and it goes up to a tougher question, 625 or whatever until you start missing questions and it goes back down again. So for the math portion if you start seeing complex trig expansions I think your doing well. And if you see [SKY : blue] in the verbal its time to study again

I love how he looked back after he righted back up "Wtf dude"

They rotate to utilize gyroscopic stability. You CAN achieve the speed of light and it does not take infinite energy....just more than we can measure right now Nannu Nannu

"enough to drink" Most I can get into her are 4 drinks of wine before she quits. EDIT* Nevermind, you have to goto the cabaret with her friend from the lingerie shop and convince her to do it first.

Signing "A", "the", and the like would just add to the workout and or confusion. I had the opportunity to work with a HH individual for about a year. All the stories he told (after he taught me quite a bit of ASL, and if not he'd just open notepad on his laptop and type it in) were somewhat disappointing. So many people will take advantage of the HH individuals car shops, other point of sales, just because more likely than not the individual has no experience in it or the translator doesn't either. But heres a text message he sent me. But a hearing person would probably say: Really??? Thats great! I am just on a mini vacation, I got the whole weekend off starting friday. Then Wednesday its back to work. Welcome back to the lab! The first is not a whole lot shorter but it still conveys the whole meaning.

Never got one, Never got the flu. I really have a hard time with the flu shot idea... Ok let me give myself the flu or a very weak one so in the event that I do catch it later on in the year It wont be as bad. Just doesn't make sense to me.

First 4 minutes are typical wrong answers to the information sheet. Weight: Well now this is a relative question. If I were in space I would be weightless... Etc etc. Starting at 4:09 when he sits down to take the written test. Psssssssst What does a yellow light mean? Slow down. Ok........ What does a yellow light mean? SLOW DOWN. OK!......What does a yellow light mean? What does a yellow light mean? Oh for crying out loud!

Sleep apnea, insomnia, and sleep paralysis here. Whoohooo! Have you tried the notebook approach? Leave a notepad next to your bed and whenever you wake up and start thinking about what you have to do just write them down. Even if they seem stupid write them down. The theory is that your brain will go over and over and over something 'important' to make sure you dont forget to do it (yes even silly things can be 'important'). But, by writing it down your brain can relax because you have it on paper. Just make sure the light is VERY dim; too bright and it could trick your brain into thinking the sun is coming up which would be bad.
