Anyone happen to know the url for the skydiving magazine "Jump"? I think it's an Italian magazine, but I could be wrong. Any help is appreciated. Leon

It was all intentional. This was the "Water Displacement" round. joke Seriously though, my moto is "fly it 'til you land it" or splash into the water....whichever comes first.. That's why my hands are still in the toggles. My main goal, after resigning myself to the fact that this was not going to be my greatest swoop and that I was NOT going to make it out of the pond, was to not hit the side of the pond....to stay as close to the middle as possible. You can't give up just because you displace about four hundred gallons of water with your lower body!! here's the next shot from the series.... (I read the manual and learned that clicky thing. http://www.elsinoreeclipse.com/photos/splash1.jpg If you look closely you can see my shoe starting to come off. And if you had the hi-res version and zoomed it in, you could see that the lense from my sunglasses had popped out. So what did I learn from all that?.....The fabled Lady of The Pond is a mean, mean bitch. ---------------------------- "Insert witty quote here."

Hey! Just ran across this thread..... 1) That's me. We were shooting a film for the Fly Boyz Film Festival where I was supposed to be like this really popular dust devil chaser guy with all the chix......definitely a hard role for me to play, seeing as how I'm as popular as unpopular can be... 2) Not showing up for the keys boogie has definitely put me in the fabled doghouse.... 3) Laurel....i'll always love ya babe, and my bed is that much more cozy having been slept in by you...there's always room there for you..... 4) I'll examine you anytime Rosa!!!! I didn't even know this picture was on the elsinore website......wanna see a shot that truly represents my talents and skills check out this one!!! http://www.elsinoreeclipse.com/photos/ouch1.jpg Sorry....don't know how to do that clicky thing.... ---------------------------- "Insert witty quote here."

hehehehehehehehehe.......do you wear your jacket too? just kidding

I WISH our Cyberguards were "only" in a test lab!!!! ---------------------------- "Insert witty quote here."

Of the firewalls mentioned and the environment you described, I would probably go with the Cisco PIX. Although the Cisco PIX is "only" a stateful packet filtering firewall, it is not any less secure than an application proxy firewall such as Gauntlet or Sidewinder. (Marketing guys and sales reps will try to have you believe stateful packet filtering firewalls are less secure, but don't buy into the hype!) The Cisco PIX is one of the very few appliance firewalls that's not over priced. As far as configuration goes, if you are familiar with Cisco routers and somewhat knowledgeable of acl's, you could probably make the PIX do what you want it to do with minimal training. The PIX also uses conduits, which are, without going into technical details, backwards from acl's. There is also a big push nowadays to run splt DNS. The Cisco PIX can now support a true split DNS configuration. Another major reason I recommend the PIX is because other firewalls such as Gauntlet and Cyberguard sit on a Unix platform, Solaris, BSDI, and in the case of the Cyberguard, SCO (although they claim to have locked it down and made their own proprietary flavor). Unix based firewalls, although I love Gauntlet to death, require a higher learning curve whenever new personnel/security engineers are brought in. If VPNs are required the PIX can support all the things you would need, except, and someone correct me if I am wrong, they cannot use DoD certs for authentication????? This may have changed though....if DoD certs are required (which I doubt they are) then you probably wanna contact Cisco to find out if they can support them. Hope this helps, and no I don't work for Cisco!!

I was gonna make them breakfast but they all snuck out in the wee hours of the morning. I woke up and they were all gone...... So now they need to come back to let me make breakfast....and allison owes for a "birthday" dinner that wasn't her birthday dinner..... ---------------------------- "Insert witty quote here."

That's right folks, two Pink Mafia sisters in my bed at the same time! Laurel and Allisonjr!!! Yummy yummy yummy...... The fact I was ostracized to the couch downstairs means nothing to me! They were in my bed and it's the luckiest bed in the world!

Chronicles III is the video with the chix washing the plane. Charles Bryan and a number of other freefly pioneers made it. Kinda old, but still one of my favorite videos. The whole Chronicles series kicks ass, but my personal favorite is Chronicles II. As far as PG rated videos check out the Airspeed Documentary, Freefly Millinem II, Crosswind, and Good Stuff. There are a bunch of others but those come to mind....... ---------------------------- "Insert witty quote here."

I think you should.....I mean what would a Chicks Rock Boogie be without one of the most riockingest chix I know? Megan from Orange is coming, and I'm picking her up in San Diego that Friday, so you should come too..!!!

Hey man, glad you had a good time out here and definitely glad to see that you made it home after you guyses marathon driving schedule! Good meeting you and I look forward to running into you somewhere out there in the future....... ---------------------------- "Insert witty quote here."

ya know.....i think i might know the julie you are talking about. extremely cool chick? jumps at perris, elsinore, and skydive san diego? i say hi to her every time i see her elsinore or if i'm down at skydive san diego......and i just noticed her wearing a deguello team suit about a week ago. really cool girl.....and from what i hear an awesome flyer. ---------------------------- "Insert witty quote here."

I guess I could give that freeflying stuff a try. I'm in as a hanger...... ---------------------------- "Insert witty quote here."

Well I do operate my camera a little differently from most. I turn it on right as I'm climbing out. I then turn it off right after I open and make sure everything is ok with my canopy. For debriefing I always plug into a tv, never use the lcd cause that sucks a lot of energy. I do check the time left on the battery, but don't change it until around ten minutes remain. Sorry Quade, I didn't know he meant it would last at least 8 jumps, I thought maybe he was told 8 jumps max on one battery or something. Then again, a TRV could require more power than a PC-100....I don't know, and since you jump a TRV, you would know more about the battery life/time than me.... And you are right, there is nothing worse than a video failure due to a spent battery......except falling off the plane before your tandem is even in the door....... ---------------------------- "Insert witty quote here."
