I don't really know how my dz would handle those but IMO I think that if the service is not completed a refund should be offered. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity

What was your wingloading with the 150? _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity

0:3:1 We got lucky this weekend with pleasent weather so SDLI opened on Sunday. Crosskeys sent over there PAC 750 and we did a bunch of loads. Damn can that plane climb. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity

I felt that way too when I got my first used rig. I was so excited that I finally had a rig I could call my own. I felt even better when I got my first custom built rig. Congrats! _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity

A friend of mine (skydiver) father is a crab fisherman. Last year his father donated two bushel of crabs to the dropzone, we ate good that night :) Although it did smell like dirty pussy the next day (oops). _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity

It isn't as nice as I thought it would be. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity

I'm going to Hell. I literally have tears streaming down my face from laughing at this one. Good then I will see you there because I had the same reaction to that one. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity

I hope there aren't any lepers in the bonfire: Why did the leper fail his driving test? Left his foot on the gas. -------------------------- What did the leper say to the hooker? Keep the tip. -------------------------- Lepers are really nice people. Ask them for an inch and they'll give you a foot. -------------------------- Why did they cancel the leper hockey game? There was a face off in the corner. -------------------------- What do you get when you put 4 lepers in a hot tub? Stew. -------------------------- What goes, HA HA HA HA HA... Thud? A leper laughing his head off. -------------------------- A leper walks into a bar and as he gets his beer, a finger falls off. The bartender who is serving him turns and pukes all over the place. The leper, feeling bad, asks, "I'm sorry. Was it my finger falling off?" The bartender turns to him and says, "No, it's the guy dipping chips into your back." ---------------------------- What do you call three lepers in a box? A Jigsaw puzzle. ---------------------------- What's the difference between a leper and a tree? A tree has limbs. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity

Top left in the blue jumpsuit is my boy Curt. He was a machine down in Atlanta. He went from the record jump to a sitfly jump to a headdown jump and did that about 12 times a day. Go Curt! _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity

CTRL+SHIFT+Q to insert new video track. Make selection in new video track that is equal in length to the length of title you'd like to create. Inside that selection, right-click and choose "Insert Text Media." Then type your text in the dialog that pops up. In the Text Tool dialog, there is a tab marked "Properties." Choose this tab and be sure the BACKGROUND color is pulled to the bottom, assuring the text has a transparent background/alpha channel. In the "Placement" tab, drag your title to the position you'd like it to occupy on the screen. Be mindful of the red lines indicating "safe title area" so that your titles don't run off-screen. Transition length is determined by how far you overlap media. In Vegas 6/7, you can see the length of time that the overlap occupies merely by looking at the Xfade/overlap, or you can double click the overlap to create a selection, which also indicates the length of the transition. Drag a transition from the transitions folder to the "X" that indicates the overlap/XFade. This opens a transition dialog box, allowing you to adjust all parameters of that transition. If you've closed the transition, hold your cursor over the transition indicator in the Xfade/transition, and click on when the cursor becomes a hand with a pointed finger. This reopens the transition dialog for further adjustment/tweaking. To output as an .avi file from Vegas: 1. Choose File 2. Choose Render As in the file dropdown 3. In the Render As dialog box there is a Save As Type dropdown. Choose "Video for Windows/avi." In the template, NTSC-DV should already be shown. If your movie is a standard 4:3 NTSC vid, then this is the correct format to render. If it's widescreen, choose the widescreen format. 4. Select the "SAVE" button in that dialog, your file will begin rendering. The bundle is version agnostic. It applies to all versions of Vegas. The advanced, separate DVDs deal with Vegas 7 specifics, but the Absolute series as a bundle, encompasses all standard features of Vegas 4, 5, 6, and 7. Hope this helps? DSE you are the man. I will be placing my order for the DVD's this weekend. If the DVDs go into this much depth then I should be a pro in no time _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity

DSE thanks for offering your help. I think I will be using it a lot since I am trying and trying but not going anywhere fast. Things I am trying but getting no where: 1. Adding text (can't get it to show over the video). 2. Transistions (I don't know how to edit them eg. duration and other settings). 3. Trying to find out how to take the final video and outputting it as an avi file. I didn't see any training around where I live (I would take that if it was anywhere close), but I think I am going to order the Vegas Training video bundle. I really want to step up my video editing skills. Does the bundle concentrate mostly on Sony Vegas 7 or will it still help me with 6? Thanks again DSE. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity

What is this "should I be" business? As an American it is your right to leave early the day before a holiday. Stand up proudly for your country and walk out that door screaming "I am out of here bitches, see you on Monday." _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity

I am here at work...but I wouldn't say I am working. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity

I have been using basic editing software for my videos and wanted to get into some more advance editing. So I just happen to get a copy of Sony Vegas 6 and I am very excited about it. The only issue is that there is a lot of stuff to Sony Vegas. So I was wondering if anyone knew of any good books or tutorials to learn the software. I am going to spend a bunch of time just playing around with the software but I would like to get proficient at it. Any tips/tricks? _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity

90 % of all Californians could have used the electric car for their average daily business. Assuming a family has two cars for two parents - they still could have the SUV for the weekend trips to wherever, and a EV1 for commuting to work/play. Also, I lived in LA. I saw many "Electric Car Charging Station" signs... So there was ability to charge. Also - think about it - in LA, when traffic stops (I was there last week, I was in bumper to bumper traffic on the 405, 101, 10 and 5 at every time of day) there is no energy consumption - so sitting in traffic does not ruin the range. I agree with this kind of thinking. Right now if I could afford it I would have a hybrid for my commuting car and have a "toy" for the weekends. There is no reason to drive your 500HP Mustang to work everyday unless it's a beautiful day to do so. Does anyone know whats the average commute distance for people? As tdog said in traffic you are using barely any energy. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity

I have had Sirius for two years now. It truly has no commercials on it's music stations (Some of XMs music stations have commercials on them now, or so I have been told). For the stations I listen to the playlist rock. They have a lot of new bands that would never make it to main stream radio w/out the help of sat radio. Either way you go sat. radio is an awesome present. Being able to go anywhere and have music available to you is awesome. In the past two years I have probably used my sat. radio 95% of the time. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity

I am truly struggling with imagining how on earth that could possibly be considered.. Worse. Yea I was just thinking that after I posted it. It would only be worse for her son, beneficial for anyone in the surrounding area. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity

Could have been worse. You could have been wearing nothing at all! _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
