    Thanks, I'm one of what I'm sure will be many who would love to be part of it.



    We'll have to do a plane formation load. Slots will go fast.

    You'll also need to decide if you're going to use an epoxy based resin, or a polyester.
    I prefer epoxy as it's easier to use and provides greater strength, but some like polyester because it still provides enough strength for a helmet and is cheaper, but it does not resist UV very well. Do some research and decide what you'd like to use if you want to do the repair.



    Isn't your choice of epoxy or polyester based on what the helmet is made out of? I thought one didn't stick well to the other.

    OK, we can see we're getting a pretty good group coming, how about when you're planning to get there so we'll know when to expect you.

    I'll be there late Thursday before the boogie starts. I'm coming in from Spokane and will have just enough energy to get my room key, have a beer at McGregor Lake Resort, and then fall into bed. Friday morning I will be fresh as a daisy and ready to jump.

    What about scrubbing? I have an average PC, and I can't get that smooth dynamic real time, non-frame skipping scrubbing on Vegas. Is it my computer or the program?



    What is "scrubbing"?

    Okay, my apologies. I'll crawl back under my rock now.



    Sorry, Bob - I should have thrown a couple smileys in my post, above.



    I did not take your post negatively at all. No need to apologize.

    I am embarrassed that I spoke about something that I did not know about. I WAS referring to the leaf shutter DSE mentioned. I didn't know there was another item in there that could be described as a shutter.

    DSLR cameras don't have shutters.



    DSLR's do have shutters. They're not necessary, but are indeed part of the camera. Perhaps you are thinking of the leaf shutter, as opposed to the plane shutter? DSLR's don't have leaf shutters.

    What is happening at Skydive Elsinore in regards to losing quality Instructors? I understand that this year alone they have lost Luke, Pat, Misha and now Cesar, only to be replaced by newly minted rating holders. Rumor has it that they actually hired a Videographer who needed a long retrain plus 2 coach jumps then he was added to the video rotation. Is Management crazy or do they not care?

    I answered an ad on DZ.COM earlier this year and am now grateful that I passed on working there, something told me that there were problems. It used to be a quality place to learn with very experienced Staff.

    Does anyone have anymore info as to what is happening and why?



    I was offended when Jim Wallace was pushed out many years ago. It may have been a business decision that seemed sound to the owner but it tainted the dropzone for me ever since.

    I haven't been back to jump there since then, but I am sure they don't even know who I am and are doing just fine without me.

    Nonsense.



    Check back with me on that after you get a few more years time in grade.

    Sure, I've only been in the sport for 14 years - I know I'm still a baby.

    Ian, you're one of those 2,950 jump wonders. You don't get to have an opinion.


    :(

    Is the shutter tripping for each frame, or is it electronically segmenting individual frames? I would think (if the former) that the shutter motor would get hot pretty fast...

    I am going to mount this flat [horizontally] on top so i can yous it for flying flat and head down.



    Do they exist? Those aren't photographs, they are computer generated images.

    I answer 867-5309. When they start dialing, I start singing.




    I was at a cell phone provider kiosk at the local shopping mall buying a phone and when they asked what number I would like I asked if some famous song number was available (it might have been 867-5309, I don't remember). They said it was available and I started to say I wanted it but they said there is a reason that number wasn't taken already. When you have a famous number you get called constantly by people who hear that song and just dial the number for the hell of it. I'm glad they talked me out of getting it.

    You are right. I'll stop doing that because no one else is doing it.:)) can't remember what we they had for lunch yesterday, much less a line in........ wait a minute, what the heck were we talking about!?! :o



    We could try obscure song lyrics next. That may be harder to do a google search on.

    This might be difficult :

    "Whenever Mrs. Kissel breaks wind, we beat the dog."



    scratch thru the quote with the mouse + copy + paste into google = 10



    Yes, you could do that but anybody could do that. It kinda takes the fun out of it. Try to do it from memory.

    Here's another one :

    "I've been with thousands of men
    again and again
    they promise the moon
    they're always coming and going and going and coming...
    ... and always too soon."

    I think u have the model numbers mixed up as all cx-155 s are flash memory. the sony hard drive ones have model numbers like hdr-xr150



    Is it possible he saw CX155 HD and thought the HD referred to hard drive instead of high definition?
