Would she also automatically throw out any resumes from applicants if all the lines are not filled in? It irritates me to know the application forms expect you to report previous salary, but if you don't fill it out you run the risk of somebody you will never meet throwing your application in the wastebasket before the interested parties ever get to see it. I've been with the same company for 26 years so I haven"t been affected by this but I could be laid off tomorrow. Who knows? "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Downtown where? Downtown Manhattan? I do love a cold beer, and I wouldn't mind giving a skydiver my business. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Thanks, I appreciate the reply. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

I recently purchased a CX100 and Opteka 0.3 lens along with a Liquid Flatlock mount. Now I am thinking I should buy one of those Cookie Composites boxes to protect everything. Does anybody have this combination and can tell me that the Opteka 0.3 lens will actually fit that box, or would I have to do some cutting with a Dremel tool?

Had to add me self! Did you not figure out the alphabetical part of the list?? ... you're such a hockey player. Good thing you're my brother and I lub you ... But he wanted to be listed beside you, you hockey puck! "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

I have to smile when I read comments about big and bulky camcorders. After reading comments in this forum I went out and bought a CX100 last month. I have not done any skydiving videos in years and the last camcorder I purchased was the Sony DCR-VX700 back in 1995. The BATTERY of that camcorder is a bit less than half the size of the CX100 camcorder. Everything's relative, of course, and I know I sound like my grandfather "Back in the old days we used to ...". I will forever have etched in my mind the memory of seeing B.J. Worth come out of one of those trailers at Perris with an IMAX camera strapped to his chest. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane.

I don't think you are over-reacting. I was pleased to receive my 4-stack patch. My first 4-stack just happened to be at night (2:00am) and I submitted the paperwork for the 4-stack award and also the nite 4-stack award. After I received the patches & stickers in the mail did I look closely at the paperwork and read the line that said you can not apply for the 4-stack and nite 4-stack awards for the same jump. I am happy the folks at headquarters decided to send both awards to me anyway. I have no idea how much it costs to make a run of, say, 30 patches. If they're not so popular they will just sit on the shelf until they do sell out. If I read between the lines of USPA's letter I'm afraid they are saying the other patches will not be available either after they run out of them. Or it may just be that they have to order a certain minimum number of patches and since they have plenty of the others they can't economically order just what they have run out of. I don't get to do CRW much anymore but I enjoyed my time in that activity. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Then you have to be smarter. He has learned that whining doesn't set it off so at night put him in a room farthest from the bedroom. Oh, and do all that behavior modification stuff too. Or you could buy him a friend. Two dogs might keep themselves entertained. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Donkeys cause plane crashes? "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

What about antidisestablishmentarianism? That's a word a school teacher in grade school made us memorize. I don't know why. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Can I use it for a couple weeks and then sell it back to you after my vacation is over? "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Do we have to then jump what we packed? "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

In Utah, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Alabama they would remove the audio "cunt" and replace it with "Walmart". "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

There are certain roads in Hawaii that the car rental companies don't allow you to travel on. If the car becomes disabled on one of those roads you're out of luck. On the Big Island of Hawaii there are three roads that I recall are not allowed; the Saddle road, the road to Waipio Valley, and I think a road on the south side going to the green sand beach. The Big Island is the only one I am familiar with in this regard but the other islands may have similar prohibited roads. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

I can't believe you said that. Is that how you live your life? "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

And now you have lots of jumps and many decades in the sport. Aren't you glad the people back then didn't think the way you are thinking now? Some students just need some calm encouragement from an authority figure. That's one of the traits of a good instructor. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Correct, in the same sense that pulling your ripcord does not, I repeat, does not open/deploy your reserve. Changing the name of that little box from "Automatic Opener" to "Automatic Activation Device" was dreamed up by the manufacturers' lawyers. They didn't want their clients to be hauled into court to explain why their "Automatic Openers" didn't open the parachute. It's a legal technicality. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

That should speed up the line at the airport security checkpoint. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Just learn a few simple French words like "Cut!", "Door!", and "Where's the bathroom?". You'll be fine. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Interesting. I considered buying from them when I wanted to buy one a couple weeks ago, trying to support the local merchants you know, but all I saw on their website was a cam-eye. Well, my mistake.

Tried Chutingstar? I just got one from them. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
