  1. I would love to jump from specialty aircraft and I think that a lot of other younger jumpers would too. "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

    Turkey Recipes

    9 people. I'm thinking about getting a 15 pound bird and enjoying any leftovers. Right now I'm thinking that I will soak the turkey in beer for a few days before I cook it. I have a friend who did that once and it turned out really good. Does anybody have any experience doing that and any suggestions?

    Turkey Recipes

    So Thanksgiving is next week and I am responsible for making our turkey. I've seen so many good food posts that I figured I'd ask how you prepare your bird. So share your recipes so I don't ruin the most important part of the meal. "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

  6. Meet Ringo (the one on the left)! He joined our family Friday night and is settling in nicely. The two pups get along and it's so cute to watch them running around and playing together.

    9/11

    It was my freshman year in high school. I had just come downstairs for breakfast and turned on the news minutes before the second plane hit. My dad and I watched the news while we got ready and decided to wake up my mom after the Pentagon got hit. I had geometry first period that day and we spent just about the entire time watching the news. I don't think I'll ever forget that.

  10. I've been to the air and space museum and really enjoyed it. I was pleasantly surprised when I got there and it was full of airplanes and not empty like I had expected. "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

  14. Visualize the successful jump multiple times on the ride to altitude. When its almost time to exit, take at least three slow, deep breaths to calm yourself. And then smile. I've found that it's a lot harder to get nervous if you're smiling. "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
  15. When I had my coach rating I rarely got paid to jump with students. I never asked a student to pay for anything and the only time they did was when they went to manifest before coming to talk to me first. I got a lot of free coaching and help when I was a new skydiver and it just seemed right to pay it forward. Most of the students I jumped with showed their appreciation by picking me up some food when they went to get lunch or bringing me an extra Gatorade.

  19. I think people went into more detail because the OP was about helping his kid figure it out. Even though your post gets him the right answer, its probably more beneficial to the kid to see the process of how that final equation and answer were reached.

  20. So should anyone who is rude to a towing company employee lose their job or just public figures? Why is she being treated any differently? She made a mistake and acted like an asshole. I've worked in retail and if everyone who ever was an asshole to me or a coworker lost their job, the unemployment rate would be a lot higher.

  22. I just saw a tweet from Elon Musk that the rocket landed on the droneship, but too hard for survival. https://twitter.com/spacex I was watching the webcast of the launch and was disappointed when they didn't show the landing attempt.
