If you are in Houston. Try 'The Golden Room' ...Thai Cusine. Has a good number of vegi dishes. I have not tried any but the meat dishes are good so I know they got their sauces working. Oh and don't forget the "Mango with sweet rice' for dessert. Another good place to eat is Romano's Pizza. Their Baked Ziti is awesome. You will find quite a few Vegitarian choices at Cafe Express as well.

Do you fail to see that till you made your post, cbrumett was getting gear advise? Your post made people respond to it. These replies, as you say are not very relevant to the question.

The machines are fast enough now. You don't need that much of a machine to play it in 720P anyways.

Quoteask to be the last one out and do what ever you want to do. Quote Someone with more experience please give your opinion on this. I disagree on this one. It would be true only if you were pulling high. Even in that case if something went wrong and you had to pull low or have a high speed mal, you could be right on top of the freefliers that left before you. If you are learning to freefly and are mostly on your back or belly(you drift a lot). You need to exit after all the belly people do but before the freefliers. Even if they are a bigger group. Another important thing is that when you initially get the sit and even while learning it....make it a habit to turn 90 degrees to the line of flight. You will be driving forward or backward and you won't even know. I was in a snivel 100' away from another canopy(a 2-way that left before us....the video shows 8 secs(enough on that day) of seperation and that my sit position needed me to lean back a bit more) NOT a sight I want to see again.

Nope not Head Down............High Definition TV. I checked out WMV HD showcase a few months ago. Try it on your computer the quality is amazing. I finally have the setup to play it on my "HDTV" and the quality is amazing. Kris.

Only if they jump first.........

Congrats on the new gear!! Yes night and day difference between the Original Sabre and the 2. This is a good time to learn packing. If you can pack it new you can pack anything. Besides you want to be friends with your canopy don't you

Good advise. I returned to jumping after being down for two months with an ankle injury. I was afraid of putting my legs down for a long time after that. I started on a canopy two sizes up. My own gear is a sabre 2 190 loaded at 1.1. Unless you are confident of the landings, seriously consider lowering that wing loading. Also jump only in moderate winds until you are confident of your landings. Low to no winds can be as bad as high winds. Take a deep breath on final. Kris.

I thought the coverage was not bad at all. Yeah it was there for shock value but hello...........that's what the show was about. Out of all the people in the show the skydiving student walked away with just an excess of adrenaline. Some of the other folks were messed up. And people complaining about this video being "bad" for our sport, I got two words...............Scott Lutz. I was watching a part of the show before this one Spy something....and I think those guys will be taken on tandems next week.

Cool, I'll be watching Vol 2 tomorrow. I was at the video store yesterday but all the copies were out...so I promptly headed to Bestbuy and brought myself a copy of Vol. 1.

84 jumps since Feb 7th. There will be no more jumps until my next paycheck(unfortunately it is'nt today; it is the end of the month). Monthly paychecks suck

With any kind of roll, it's the proportionality that breaks the deal. One or two little slivers of fish for a giant blob of rice and seaweed -- no thanks! I agree with what ya'll have to say. Nigiri is the way to go. However not all places make rolls with too much rice. If you are ever in Houston, Tx try Tokyohana and or Taiko.

Not the ones with real snow crab meat.

I think it was posted a long time ago on the ls1.com forums. Funny.

I voted the last option. I can stay away from skydiving if I don't have money.

What no california roll

That would be an exception rather than the rule. dropzone.com is a bad word around DZs.

There are naked chicks in it. If only for a few secs.

Check it out : NSFW endgame

What about spilling stuff on it at the restaurant??

more likely a parser

I looked much worse than that when I was on my 6th sitfly jump. Just keep at it. It will be like someone turned on a switch....and then there was light.

Congrats!! Now you can jump with others. Be Safe. Kris.

0:7:2 I reached a 100 jumps this weekend. Also did my first cross country.

I don't know about heart pounding....I can't remember...however on a jump yesterday one of the camera guys said that my eyes were bigger than my glasses as I was in the door giving the exit count. Oh that was my 100th jump.
