I don't think the fractions part is a new problem. My mother used to tell me the story of a nurse who needed to give a patient 1/8 grain of medicine. She only had 1/4 grain tablets, so she added 1/4 and 1/4 to get 1/8 and gave him two tablets. I'm not sure if he felt a lot better or a lot worse.

I agree. It's kind of like balancing on a unicycle. Even though the platform is inherently unstable, it is kept stable by constant small inputs. Some modern, fly-by-wire jet fighters use the same principle. Without constant computer input, they will go unstable in an instant. Skydivers learn "muscle memory" so they don't have to think "I'm turning right, I need more left turn input." They make the small corrections without conscious thought - at least, if they are relaxed in freefall. That's why some of the posters here have said that stability is easy. It really is if you don't over-think it. Now back to the original question. A cannonball would stop a flat spin by turning it into something else, but then what are you going to do? I hope you are only asking this out of curiosity and not as a survival strategy. Your instructors will help you learn to stop a spin and get stable, and I feel sure the word "arch" will be part of the conversation.

Just a thought here. If you're headed for Deland anyway, why not stop by the wind tunnel in Orlando and spend a few bucks on tunnel time. That's in addition to what the others said about getting recurrent.

The goal is not to stand up the landing. The goal is to walk back to the hanger.

You can get penile enlargements ???

No one in Auburn skydives. It's because of the War Eagle. He will attack anything in flight and attempt to mate with it. Only Chuck Norris can survive such an attack.

No one mentioned getting water from a well or going to the bathroom in an outhouse, so I assume you're all city folk. I'd love to stay and chat, but I need to go replace the points and condensor in my car's ignition.

Mine looks a lot like yours, except I ate all the Special Dark Hershey's miniatures. Is that wrong??

It's based on the sacrifice offered before the game. A few coins in the collection plate, they sacrifice a chicken; they win. You sacrifice a chicken, they sacrifice a goat; they win. You sacrifice a goat, they sacrifice a virgin; they win. You sacrifice a virgin, they sacrifice a virgin; now things get interesting.

Had 'em. Don't like 'em. I prefer roasted, salted peanuts or fried peanuts (you take them out of the shell and cook them in the frying pan with a little peanut oil). If you want to drink a lot of beer real fast, try Cajun boiled peanuts.

One of the few things I've learned over the years is that you don't need to beg someone to take your money. There's always someone down the road who will be more than happy to get it. After watching Spence in action at Dublin I can only say thanks for going to so much trouble. Courtland is an interesting idea. Decatur already holds a large hot-air balloon festival every year. We could distract attention from the noise and partying by holding a tractor pull on the other side of the airport every night.....

You keep using the phrase "my realtor". Start thinking in terms of "my money"..... "the realtor".

1. Buxom women could get relief by lying on their backs. 2. Nothing makes you feel more comfortable with who you are than having someone snuggle up close and tell you you're terrific. 3. No. 4. ...

By the time you get an answer to this, it's probably going to be too late for the dog.

Cheesy repost, but here goes: Hydrogen atom walks into a bar. Bartender says, "Why the long face?". Hydrogen atom says, "I think I lost my electron.". Bartender says, " Are you sure?". Hydrogen atom says - "Yeah, I'm positive."

Chuck Norris can see what happened before the Planck Time.

Have you ever played "BullShit" ? Before a meeting, you give each attendee a page containing about a dozen bullshit phrases like "synergy", "best of breed", "paradigm shift", etc. When the presenter uses one of the phrases, you cross it off. When all the phrases on your page are crossed off, you yell "BULLSHIT" and wave the page in the air like you've won a bingo game. Don't do this if the presenter is your boss, but it can make an otherwise dull meeting fun and exciting.

The fact is, a week on each of the main islands would barely scratch the surface, but I vote for at least a few days on Maui. Lahaina has some night life and the Old Lahaina Luau is one of the best. There's a dormant 10,000 foot volcano ( Haleakala ), snorkeling, whale watching, and a drive to Hana and a hike to Waimoku falls can be a fun adventure if you're up for it. Whatever else you do, I would recommend you make time for a visit to Pearl Harbor and the Arizona Memorial while you're there. It's easy to do, and it's an opportunity you shouldn't miss.

"I lied" - Schwarzenegger - Commando, a little later when he breaks his promise to kill Sully last.

Butter pecan. But that comment about the root beer float raises the question - what's the best way to eat ice cream. Ice cream cone? Bowl and spoon? Root beer float? Milk shake? Straight out of the carton with a bigger spoon? Scoop of ice cream over apple pie? Scoop of ice cream over chocolate cake or fudge brownie? Something else?

Love it. I used to do it a lot when I lived in Texas. Not so much now. The area where I live is not really hostile to bikes. It's just that most of the roads have no shoulder and the cars go 60 mph. It gets a little scary, so I'm more particular about where I ride and I don't do it as often. Maybe your post will inspire me to get out a little more.

Did somebody get this yet. It was a movie where Warren Beatty ran for president. Don't remember much else about it, including the title, except that it was forgettable. Here's mine: " Hey, where are the white women at? "
