Use a Digital8 camera to view them and you can firewire directly from there. Digital8 will play Hi8 tapes. Sony's thinking with that that format I believe, was to get people married to Hi8 tech to switch to DV and still be able to play their Hi8 stuff.

I'm speechless.

I'll see you there! I was at the last one three years ago.

Tried phoning Greg but the number I have is not in service. Does anyone know how to get ahold of him or have a source for the buckles? Thanks.

Here's that pic, posted with permission.

Check the pick on the first few pages of the last Skydiving magazine. It was taken by Billy Porter in Zhills.

Rhode Island: not a real State, for comparison purposes only. That's between me and him.

Towerrat is a doofus!

Tony was the only guy that practiced. Boxman hadnt jumped in 2 1/2 months.

Just like whjen they co-opted the "g" word, which used to be associated with merriment ? It still is! I imagine there will be MUCH merriment at the Rainbow Boogie! I heard they were making the exit mockup to look like a closet! Close all windows and log out when you leave a public computer!

Guess we all better get set to take care of ourselves. Are you prepared?

Look, if you really cared you would quit skydiving. Everytime you jump you make Joe eco-citizen pay more for his gas. Put up or shut up. Me? I'll drive whatever the fuck I like, thank you very much.

I'll buy that. You guys need to read my first post again then read the evac plans again. If you cant figure out who was supposed to do what and when by reading the evac plans then I cant help you. Kallend, if you know you cant get out, are you prepared to survive for a week or two in the event of disaster?

So a lot of general direction, not too heavy on specifics. Some tidbits though: "A. If transportation needs exceed available resources, the ESF 1 Coordinator will report the situation to the Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, which will seek additional resources from EMAC and from the federal government pursuant to a Presidential Disaster Declaration." "Mandatory: This is the final, most serious phase of evacuation. Authorities will put maximum emphasis on encouraging evacuation and limiting ingress. Designated State evacuation routes maybe augmented by turning additional lanes into one-way outbound traffic and the State Police with Local law enforcement assistance will assume responsibility for traffic control on those routes. As the storm gets close to the Southeast Region, evacuation routes will be closed and the people remaining will be directed to last resort refuges." ----------------------------- 4. The Area is protected by an extensive levee system, but above-normal water levels and hurricane surge could cause levee overtopping or failures. 5. It will take a long time to evacuate large numbers of people from the Region. 6. The road systems used for evacuations are limited, and many of the roadways are near bodies of water and susceptible to flooding. 7. The combined population of the Region is approximately 1,694,805 (1990 Census, as amended July 1, 1999), of whom the majority are at risk from a hurricane (Annex C). 8. Many of the Region's emergency shelter facilities may be inundated by floodwaters when threatened by a slow moving Category 3 or above hurricane. Sheltering of evacuees outside of the Region becomes necessary. 9. In most emergencies the number of persons needing public shelter will be limited. In the event of a catastrophic hurricane, however, the evacuation of over a million people from the Southeast Region could overwhelm normally available shelter resources. ---------------------- The primary means of hurricane evacuation will be personal vehicles. ------------------------ 7. A portion of the public will act in their best interest and voluntarily evacuate the high-risk areas before a recommended evacuation announcement. 8. Voluntary evacuation will be advised well in advance of landfall. Much of the public will evacuate high-risk areas when recommended by local authorities. Most will evacuate following a mandatory evacuation order. While Rome burned, Nero fiddled. ---------------------------

Edit because my board code sucks. See next post.
