"Last year we jumped on Thanksgiving Day, but you lose about 2 degrees in temperature for every 1,000 feet in altitude when you ascend. So it gets really cold really quickly."
But, Ashworth says, the jumpers and instructors at West Virginia Skydivers are a dedicated and diverse bunch, "I'm a lawyer; we've got guys who are pharmacists, nurses etc. Skydiving attracts a diverse group of people, but we're all dedicated to the sport. We get together every weekend to do this because we love it and want to promote it."
The sport appeals to men and women both. Ashworth says they get an equal number of both genders jumping, and skydiving cuts a wide swath across socioeconomic boundaries. Anyone over the age of 19 with no disqualifying medical conditions is eligible. Everyone must sign a waiver and watch a safety video before their first tandem jump.
According to the USPA website, skydiving is not without risks. Last year, there were 19 fatalities out of 3.1 million jumps. That is 0.006 deaths per 1,000 jumps. Tandem jumping, which is everyone's first jump, is safer, with a reported 0.003 deaths per 1,000 jumps.
Ashworth says they have never had a fatality at their drop zone. He says even though there is risk of injury, they do everything in their power to minimize those risks. There are the risks of small injuries, such as sprained ankles from improper landing, or discomfort from nausea or dizziness.
He did say, though, that West Virginia Skydivers has had only one person vomit all year. They also had one person faint in the harness during a tandem jump, but the instructor landed them safely and that jumper revived with no incident.
An initial tandem jump with West Virginia Skydivers costs $200; the student course to prepare for a solo jump costs $350. After that the prices drop significantly: student jumps cost $80 and experienced jumpers pay $25 per jump.
Those who want to check off skydiving from their bucket list, can contact West Virginia Skydivers at 304-521-8156, skydiv...@gmail.com or http://skydivewv.com/. The outfit also can be found on Facebook and Twitter by searching West Virginia Skydivers.

18" Club Bone
Item# 00111336
This bone club is a must-have for any cave man or carnivore animal you may wish to impersonate. Either way this is a big 18" life-like bone that doubles as a Club, in case you are into the whole primate bridal ritual. Also great as haunted house decor, or for hungry Ghoulish monsters!

I noticed you are a pro at telling people they are wrong ....But you NEVER EVER correct the poster as to the 'real truth'
you don't learn history from being indoctrinated. You learn history from getting off your ass and doing research - not of vapid books designed to indoctrinate - but research of the primary source documents. Like most leftists - you are lazy and as long as you are lazy - you will never learn to think for yourself.
Oy. You should try and answer direct questions from now on.Originally Posted by Constitutionally Speaking
If a bank does not wish to make a loan but is forced to make the loan under threat of lawsuit, are you OK with that?

Sorry moron. They had LOTS of bad mortgages - are you really that stupid???? By definition ALL of the loans made via guaranteed loans are not of the type that would have been made without government involvement.

One of our former student Insiders, skydiving
Our Insiders are current students sharing their experiences of Cardiff University in their own words. If you want to know what it's really like at Cardiff, this is the place to find out.
Each Insider posts regularly to their blog, to Twitter and to their own Facebook page. Some also post photos to Instagram so you can see what they're up to as well as reading about it.
They're here to answer any questions you have about life at Cardiff University. What's a typical day like? What clubs and societies are there? Is Cardiff's music scene any good? It can be almost anything - just post a comment on their Facebook page or message them on Twitter.
Our Insiders are real students studying a range of subjects.
2nd year Dentistry
I like anything to do with art, and tie dye almost all of my things. I run regularly and play the piano, but am also a bit of a couch potato and watch Smallville constantly. I loved Duke of Edinburgh and really want to go Backpacking and camping again this summer.
3rd year Welsh
I'm studying Welsh here at Cardiff and enjoying all the great opportunities that are available. Since becoming a student I have become an expert in soup making and have developed an obsession for swimming. I love being adventurous and since the summer I have developed a love for mountain climbing and lake swimming. Looking forward to travel Europe and Wales this summer!
3rd year Architecture
Being an architect student I guess you could say I'm creative; I'm a keen photographer and pay the bills working as a club photographer in the union. I'm an avid skier and surfer, lover of mountains,sea and (being a Devon boy) cider!
3rd year Psychology
My passion is dancing, and has been since I was about 7 years old. Needless to say I was quick to sign up with a dance troupe. I also love singing (in the shower), being a committee member for the Psychology Society and am involved in a few volunteering projects.
3rd year Planning & Geography
What seems like yesterday I started on what can be a terrifying prospect; student life. All of a sudden the finishing point is in sight, with only a year to go. University is a journey and one of the best out there; as long as you embrace it... it's a roller coaster of a ride!

Someone had hit my truck in a parking lot and didnt leave any information (I was inside). the rear passenger side door is all that was damaged. Its dented in. I want to take the interior of the door off and see how much I can massage it back out (Dont really want to make a claim since I can get same color door locally for about 250-300).
Question is, how do I get the interior paneling of my 04 extended cab rear door. I only found 2 screws, took them out and door is still solidly attached. Any help is appreciated fellas.[/SIGPIC]James :great:
03-17-2011, 08:24 AM #2Sorry to hear about that. I had the same thing happen to me, and the dent is still there. I'll eventually take it to the body shop to get fixed. Sorry I can't help with the door panel, but I'm sure someone here can. Good luck.
03-17-2011, 09:27 AM #3Sorry to here about your bad luck. I've never taken a e/c rear door panel off so I can't help you. Good luck with your fix.

The international-student population at UI has increased by roughly 60 percent since 2007. As part of an effort to manage this increase, officials launched an immigration software last month that allows international students to access immigration-related documents online via iHawk — an online service specifically for foreign students.

My stomach growling in anticipation, I follow my nose and compliantly slip out of the drizzle into the bright restaurant to my right. It is astonishingly small, just a few tables packed snugly into a dingy storefront. The menus consist of single sheets of paper with lists of indecipherable Chinese characters, and though I always hope for menus with pictures, a good option for the illiterate eater in China is to find something you like and stick with it. In my case, this is the famous, the magical, Gong Bao ji ding (Kung Pao chicken).
This summer I spent six weeks in the village of Jucuapa Occidental, Nicaragua building a footbridge with Bridges to Prosperity and researching how different mixing methods affect the strength of concrete used in the bridge. The trip was a wonderful experience and although I learned a lot about construction and concrete, the lessons I learned from the people I met may be what I end up cherishing most.
I'm not really one to be picky about the authenticity of ethnic food in America. Like all who have experienced its magic, I too was entranced by the bucatini all'amatriciana served up in the street cafes of Rome and Florence, but at the same time I can appreciate Olive Garden for what it is. I can sympathize with the difficulty of re-creating beyond French borders the delicate flakiness of a croissant or the perfect baguette (soft, light interior + crunchy crust), and am equally forgiving of Tex-Mex (my favorite and most dearly missed cuisine when I'm abroad). As a rule, as long as it's tasty, I will accept it with an open mind and mouth. Until China.
In honor of the UI delegation's visit to Asia, we invite you to meet three students from China: Xuyang Han, Wei Du, and Qing Jin. Each has taken a completely different path at the UI, but all have been successful in their academic and personal endeavors.
"Being white" is not something I really think about on a daily basis and, like a lot of people, talking about race makes me cringe just a little bit. But once in China I soon realized that my entire experience would be shaped by this part of my identity that I have rarely been concerned with- the fact that I was white. And not only white, but 5 foot 9'' with sandy blonde hair and blue eyes.
Why should the president of the University of Iowa—an institution serving the people of the state—travel so far from Iowa? The international connections we have established are an integral part of the future successes of the University, and this trip is an important investment to advance these successes for the benefit of the University and the entire state of Iowa.
Today, as never before, the University of Iowa must function as a global institution in order to fulfill its core missions of teaching, research, and public service in Iowa. As business leaders across the state recognize, what we think of as local is fully tied to global processes and trends.
Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China. The Country of Heaven. The Garden City. Land of Abundance. Sounds like an alright place to spend six months to me. I hardly knew what to expect when I arrived in Chengdu, city of 11 million people, after my month-long orientation in the beautifully rural Guilin (think blue skies and Mario World-like mountains). I left early one clear, hot August morning by train and arrived 27 hours later, sweaty and tired at Chengdu Dong Train Station. Talk about an imposing introduction. It opened just three months earlier and still smelled uncommonly like a new pair of shoes. Passengers leaving the train face a mountain of stairs followed by stark white and cavernous rooms seemingly designed to maximize required walking distance or possibly to accommodate the entire population of China should they all decide to vacation here at the same time. I would soon discover that Chengdu Dong Station wasn't the only building that smelled like new shoes in this city and is, in fact, a perfect introduction to the desired feel of modern Chengdu -- bright, new, grandiose and ever-so-slightly extravagant.
"China?" my dental hygienist asks as she inspects my back molar, "Well, how was that?" The dentist chair is in full recline with my mouth obligingly open to allow her metal tools to prod away. In the end all I can manage is, "oh, it was grood…" It is the fate of every traveler when they return home to be asked that dreaded question – to sum up the experience of a lifetime in a sentence short enough to be uttered between teeth x-rays. But China is a particularly ambitious task, dental impediments aside; I have yet to come up with a good response.
As a costume designer in the theater, I feel that my work often is a re-creation of memories. The actors and I create a life for the costumes and the characters, partly based in fact, and partly in imagination.
Working with other theater artists, we construct a world for the audience that they inhabit with the performers during a performance. That is the magic of theater — a shared existence in real time made up of memories and the suspension of disbelief.
There is great sweetness in remembering a work of art, particularly when it is an experience like a theater performance and you are surrounded by a crowd, a community of focused participants all sharing the same time and place.
That is why it is so vital to have theaters, museums and concert halls, both humble and grand, to experience art in community.
Riding on a bus in China one year ago, University of Iowa graduate student Jameela Huq learned that Japan – which she considers like home – had been ravaged by a 9.0-magnitude earthquake and massive tsunami.
Huq said she had called her good friend Aya Hurley – a native of Fukushima, Japan who happened to be in the same city in China that day, wanting to meet up. Hurley delivered the devastating news, Huq said. "She said, 'I'm looking for my friends and family,'" Huq said. "She was like, 'Didn't you hear? A giant tsunami wiped out Fukushima.'"
Navi Bajwa took his studies to the United Kingdom because he wanted to immerse himself in the political and social atmosphere.
"The reason I went to the University of Edinburgh is because of the world-class education that institution has to offer," the University of Iowa senior said. "I have a lot of family in the UK, and I have been there a lot during my life, so I was comfortable going there."
University of Iowa officials are split on whether recent changes easing restrictions on obtaining U.S. visas have affected international-student enrollment. Earlier this year, President Obama signed an executive order making tourism and travel more accessible in the United States. Those efforts include new initiatives to make the process of applying for a visa more secure and efficient for international travelers and students. These changes have led to the issuance of more than 7.5 million visas in fiscal 2011 — a 17 percent increase over fiscal 2010.
On March 11, 2011, a rising tide of dark water wrapped Japan's northeastern coast.
The world was gripped by Armageddon-invoking scenes from this highly industrialized nation in east Asia.
After the visual impact of the unprecedented tsunami, there came news of nuclear meltdown in the Fukushima nuclear plant. Japan's vast northeastern coast — the coastal villages as well as sizable inland areas — was nearly destroyed by the hand of the nature.
In this election year, China-bashing once again has become a favorite activity of the presidential hopefuls. Although Chinese policy does not, in of itself, determine the outcome of the election, it nevertheless influences the American public's assessment and perception of the economic conditions that will likely be central to the outcome.

Mr McCORMACK (Riverina) (12:29): This is an issue that resonates deeply with me, and I commend the member for Kingston for her concerns. But I also associate myself with the remarks of the member for Gippsland, for the reservations that he has. My father, Lance, died of lung cancer aged 76, on the first day of spring in 2008, after a lifetime of smoking. His last words to my then 10-year-old son, Nicholas, were: 'Don't ever smoke.' To watch my father go downhill as the cancer took over his body is not something anyone wants their loved ones to have to endure. It is a cruel, torturous death.
Tobacco smoking is one of the largest preventable causes of disease and premature death in Australia. About 15,500 Australians die from smoking related illnesses each year. The coalition has always acted decisively while in government to address the prevalence of smoking. Opposition leader, Tony Abbott, played a significant role when he was minister for health, with graphic health warnings on cigarette packets in addition to other antismoking initiatives. As a result of these initiatives the prevalence of smoking in Australia declined to being amongst the lowest in the world. In fact, between 1998 and 2007 alone, smoking prevalence in people 14 years and older fell from 20.8 per cent to 16.6 per cent. The coalition continues to support sensible measures that actively discourage smoking—it has recently supported legislation to tighten electronic advertising restrictions—and for this reason we will not oppose the government's plain-packaging legislation but will seek to move amendments; sensible changes to make any laws more workable and more practicable.
While smoking is on the decline in Australia, it is still particularly concerning that almost 60,000 teenagers aged between 15 and 17 are regular smokers, and five per cent of 12- to 15-year-olds smoke. Unfortunately, and inexplicably, with all the warnings and education around, it seems the smoking take-up rate is higher amongst young girls than boys. Often these are well-informed girls from affluent families who know the damage smoking can do to them, yet they still decide to light up. It simply beggars belief. We need to learn what the underlying reasons for this are. I find it hard to believe that it is just to be cool, but as we all know, because we have all been there, peer pressure is a major influence on many adolescent decision-making thought processes. I believe more education is needed about smoking, both at secondary school and at primary school. We need to be better at getting through to children and teenagers the message about the obvious dangers that smoking poses to them, the long-term health complications of smoking and the fact that it will kill you before your time.
It also concerns me that in my electorate of Riverina it is not an uncommon sight in the main street of any city or town you care to visit to see pregnant women lighting up. It is not just a Riverina habit. Right across the country mothers-to-be continue to defy the health and welfare of their unborn babies, and themselves, by smoking. Despite the advertisements on TV and the graphic warnings advising of the risks smoking has to a baby, the addiction factor is so strong that they continue to smoke even though it is so harmful. We need to invest more into education of these women, too, and help them to kick the habit, through a QUIT program with the appropriate support required. Not only will these mothers require medical attention in the future, due to their smoking, but so too will their children, if they continue. It is a huge financial burden to the Australian taxpayer.
The health benefits of quitting smoking are tremendous. The human body is remarkably resilient. It begins to repair the damage from the very first day a smoker quits. Within eight hours the excess carbon monoxide is out of the bloodstream, within five days the nicotine has left the body and in three months lung function starts to improve. If a person quits at the age of 50 they halve the risk of smoking related death, but if a person quits at the age of 30 they avoid almost all of the excess risk, on average.
Education and support are vital to helping a smoker quit, but at the end of the day it is up to the individual to want to quit and then it is a matter of having the inner will power, or won't power, if you like, to do so. We cannot force someone to quit, but government should do all in its power to help educate against starting a practice that becomes a habit—a highly addictive and deadly one. Tobacco control is an important measure but we must tread carefully, because we also must not become a nanny state. No-one wants or needs that. We live in a democratic society for which brave men and women fought and died so that today we may have freedom of expression and freedom of choice.
It is important to remember that while a product is legally available for sale, it is legally available to buy and use. It worries me that this government, having pushed this legislation through, will move to do similar nanny-state legislation for alcohol products and possibly some food products that can cause obesity. Where do you start and where do you stop? This government, unfortunately, cannot be trusted and this is why there is so much scepticism from the general public towards everything this government does.

They are some of the best dogs on the planet as long as you raise them right.
Problem with them is that they can hurt you, and sadly, most people that own them raise them and treat them like shit. You raise any dog like crap and they are going to have a chip on their shoulder. My dogs love people.
big john said...
Very true. Some people just shouldn't own dogs. Its a shame the breed has gotten a bad name due to bad ownership. Hell, the people two blocks down have a boxer that has been tied to the same tree for the entire 6 years since I bought my house. They never let it inside & its below 30 up here right now. It has a house, but its fvcking freezing. I feel horrible for that dog. I don't even get the point of owning a dog just to tie it to a tree for its entire life.
