  1. This is directed to those of you who have had a spinal fusion or similar surgery (Lumbar to be specific). How much time had passed before you made a jump after having surgery? How did it go, feel? For those of you who had more serious surgeries in the spine, please chime in as well. Thank you *Info given will not be taken as advice!
  2. No pic, but here is a video of our cat & dog. Halftime intermission at 1:10. We all need intermissions! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8KB_505bnk
  3. Very important! It's easy to give insulin to lower your level but much harder to raise when you are not equipped. I'm sure that you know this but always carry some form of sugar with you. I have been a type I Diabetic for 36 years and when I am at the dropzone I always have a small bag of sugar cubes on my person at all times. I also let my blood sugar level run a little higher when I am jumping and I always test my level 20 minutes or so prior to loading the plane.
  4. I am outraged.......................for not reading this sooner so that I could buy a ticket or two! I haven't supported anyone but myself since my last divorce. I want to support the team! When is the next raffle???

  6. Yes it is the same video, just a link to the site for which I viewed it again this a.m. (front page of MSN) oddly enough!

  8. Send them a video of your check-out dive or a copy of your A-License when you get it.
  9. He could have been a real jerk by not turning the fence off but telling you that he did! Did you check that der fence before you crossed it? I probably would've taken him for his word and then got zapped. One to remember.
  10. I don't understand why they don't have Clearance Beams that span the roadway as you approach bridges? So much cheaper to replace and not to mention the unintentional damage to structure and lives.
  11. Thanks for the replies. I'm starting to think it is this site as well. I switched over to Firefox about 2 weeks ago and thought that I had noticed the reloading problem about a week ago, but wasn't quite positive. The page loading works fine when I visit Craigslist. Oh well, I'll just keep resorting to the button on top. Thanks again. p.s. I do notice a faster page load with the manipulation that DS8221 has recommended. Thank you.
  12. Thanks G & T, but I've tried that already. You can set that one to reload every few seconds or whatever you wish, it's quite annoying to have the page flicker every few seconds or whatever you set it to. Thanks though. I'm trying to find the solution where the page reloads when you visit that same page again. I'm stumped.
  13. I've recently switched from IE to Firefox and I like it. I have found that while on DZ.com the page does not refresh every time I visit it. For example, When I visit a forum from the main forum menu, read some posts, then go back to the previous forum, it does not show that that I have read certain posts. It works when I visit Craigslist, but not on DZ.com. I've typed ABOUT:CONFIG in the address bar and changed the frequency number to 1 under (browser.cache.check_doc_frequency), but doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
  14. Two weeks ago I arrived home and turned my computer and police scanner on. As I was just getting ready to log on to Dropzone.com, a dispatcher was alerting the officer of a "RP", (reporting Person) that had just called in to report a skydiver that was landing in a field by her residence. I continued to listen for the outcome but heard nothing more other than the officer was going to visit the location. Why was this woman calling to report? Maybe he had a huge rifle with him, who knows? Even though you may be following all of the rules, don't think that the cops won't show up due to a witness reporting it to 911. I live in Bellingham, WA and I hope the jumper got away without too much harassment, if any.
  15. Could someone post a pic of the proper arrangement or attachment of a seal and routing of the seal thread? Thanks
  16. OK, how about this one? (attached) p.s. I excluded the military version of the Argus, I don't have a clue as to how to illustrate all of the variables on that one!!!
  17. My original objective was to have a one page reference for remembering purposes. I guess that you really only need to remember the numbers for the particular model or device for which you are using. Anyway, I thought I'd throw it out there for someone who might find it useful. I've attached a new one with a few changes. Have fun out there!
  18. I took the information from the Cypres site. I may be misinterpreting the info, so I thought the yellow area in the chart would cover that interpretation. I have read other posts regarding this information. I am not quite sure where the 65 mph is derived from? Could you help me with that equation? I'm here to learn. Thanks
  19. I was bored so I created a visual sheet that shows the activation altitudes for the CYPRES 2 models. I created it to the best of my interpretation, please advise if any info appears to be wrong. Thanks
  20. I received an email today with the following statement. I argued with someone who thinks that the pic attached below is actually real. Is this just a real good Photoshopped image or am I gullible in thinking that nobody could be that stupid??
  21. I am assuming he was given this award as an individual, and not as the owner of a DZ. I am curious as to why Lodi isn't rated as a USPA DZ?
  22. Fleggaard Holding A/S, through its subsidiaries, markets electronic appliances. The company specializes in selling televisions and radio sets. Fleggaard Holding is based in Krusaa, Denmark. Just across Germany's northern-most border with Denmark you'll find an incredible superstore called Fleggaard. There, you can buy everything you need – tubs of gummy bears, cases of wine,, industrial strength dishwashing soap – at prices 30% cheaper than you'll find in Denmark. It is Denmark's Costco, packaged as a German loophole. You'd be hard-pressed to find a man in Denmark who hasn't seen and fallen in love with that commercial. It was geared strictly to men. The ad is real! Here is a link to simply the best advertisement ever made. Honestly… it's awesome!
