  5. Jimmy T. I may not know you but I do agree with you. There were some areas of post deleted before I read them so I make this statement based on what is available now. to original poster: As for the original poster you really should take into account what someone with 34 years in the sport has to say. Dude just be really careful before you do this. I have worked ground crew on several demos and jumped several. There are alot of factors that come into play even with the proper aircraft and experienced jump pilot. Of course the size of the area you are jumping is alot larger than a typical demo area you still should have an experienced diver on the ground in comms or least some sort of signal (smoke) for wind direction and in case for whatever reason, to abort the jump. I think fun jumps like this are great if done safely and under the guidance of experience. Have fun and be safe. BSBD Home of the Alabama Gang
  6. Yeah weather here is great during the week but the weekends have sucked. example fri=71 degrees clear little wind sat=35 degress low clouds wind gust 30-40 sun= 45+ mostly clear but severe wind gust its pretty much been this way since December with only a few jumpable weekends. Hell I am even posting about converting a radio to aircraft freqs so I can at least listen to pilot talk. BSBD Home of the Alabama Gang
  7. I haven't tried this yet but I hear d it works. Convert your AM/FM (Non-digital) radio to an Aircraft broadcast receiver. I recommend doing this with a battery operated radio so you don’t fry yourself. Open the case and look at the part under the tuning dial that selects stations. This is the variable capacitor. You should also see 2 or 3 small square metal components which are filter transformers. Look closely at the filter transformers and you will see a small srew slot to make adjustments. One of the filter transformers will have 2 or 3 small glass diodes next to it. This is the transformer that will need to be adjusted. First tune the radio on an FM band between stations until you hear a background hiss. Now adjust the filter transformer and turn it until the hiss gets as loud a possible. When the hiss is at its loudest point you have converted the FM portion to receive AM signals. Next look at the radios tuning dial and notice the large tuning capacitor on the main board the will be 2 small copper wire coils next to it, with the screwdriver carefully spread the small coils out as mush as possible without letting them touch another part of the board. You have now extended the broadcast range from 88 MHz to 108 MHz and above. Next tune the dial up and down the FM band and you will notice that the station locations have moved. You should now be able to tune in aircraft frequencies. To change the radio back, just reverse the instructions. BSBD Home of the Alabama Gang
  8. What about He-Man Master Of The Universe With Battle Cat, Man At Arms, Skeletor and the incredibly cartoon hot Teela. (She is not as hot as I remember though.) BSBD Home of the Alabama Gang
  9. I wonder if the landing was like this http://www.killsometime.com/Video/video.asp?ID=315 BSBD Home of the Alabama Gang
  10. When the company I used to work for merged I went to one for a free consultation. I took my current resume and other self marketing ideas with me. He pointed out several things (mainly about the resume) that I would never had thought of nor saw in any of the resume books. I looked on it as not only an expensive resume service but also an agent so to speak with my interest in mind and not the hiring agencies. They not only help identify your strengths and weaknesses but can also help you market those talents. (Its all about the marketing) I honestly believe that if I had used him I could have gotten about 20% -30% more than I currently make. Not only do they know the "Tricks" but they usually have a good network of folks who can help in a job search and /or job upgrade. I personally would recommend one though the one I went to was a flat fee (800.00)and not hourly based. I would be more hesitant to go to an hourly charge. Just my .02 good luck
  11. I can't believe I actually read the website. I got a little sqeamish about this part "The middle stream of fresh, warm, morning urine is the most potent, and drinking it mixed with freshly squeezed orange juice..." Nothing like Fresh OJ and piss to get the day going... (I think I stick to coffee) BSBD Home of the Alabama Gang

    Bad Puns

  17. I hear one more DAMN X-Mas song I will definitely go postal. The only avoidance to this is to stay away from restaurants,shops,work,bars,home,car,so,kids, and people wearing Santa hats... BSBD Home of the Alabama Gang
  18. Photoshop! Same dog in all 3 holding false teeth. Check out the freckles on the nose, they are identical. I believe 3 diffrent pictures of the same dog laid on top of a background. Also the shadows cast on the middle dog do not match with the position of the right hand dog. IMO BSBD Home of the Alabama Gang
  19. Angelina by far She is hot!!! Been a fan ever since the movie "Hackers" BSBD Home of the Alabama Gang
  20. One more thing to add. When transferring profiles remember that whatever background noise is in the original profile will be copied as well. So using the profile in a different noise environment will affect its ability to recognize. BSBD Home of the Alabama Gang
  21. Maybe a barber style close shave and a hot towel wrap. I would definitely go for that. BSBD Home of the Alabama Gang
  22. ***Limited experience with lower end software.*** Its the Mic that will make the diffrence not the hardware platform. If the software allows for multiple profiles, you can copy a profile from one machine to another rather than "Retrain" each machine. The more you train your profile the better it will perform. The software I used to use (Dragon speak I think) toook several samples of common words and phrases and would overlay them. It would then search for a matching pattern. Unfortunatley I mumble alot and had to retrain several times. I was the cause of many hours of laughter, me sitting yelling at my computer that "I said X and not Y." One of the upsides is it did teach me to innunciate better in casual conversation. Good luck edit to add: Its sometimes more about training yourself to speak clearly than training the software to learn your speech patterns. BSBD Home of the Alabama Gang
