    I plan on doing my own editing in the new year. I'm looking at: (nothing showed up on search) sony vegas studio HD 11 ~ $50 '' '' '' platinum 11 ~ $68 '' '' '' platinum suite 11 ~ $90 Mostly just tandem vids, some crw and misc. I'm leaning toward the middle one since I doubt I will need all of the features of the suite. I won't need anything quick, but the money will burn a hole in my pocket (or my wife will find it). Or should I wait for whatever comes out for 2012? Thanks, Keith ''Always do sober what you said you would do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.'' - Ernest Hemingway

    As soon as I get my Christmas bonus I want to upgrade from my old PC. CX110s are available locally for $330. CX 100s on ebay range from $399 new to sub $200 used. What I've seen and heard is the down side to the 110 is the bottom slot for the SD card. I would think it shouldn't be that hard to adapt the bracket/box to switch cards for quick turnarounds. Thoughts, experiences? What are the pros/cons of the SD card (110) vs. the pro duo (100)? The only downside I heard of SD is from the editor not knowing which is video and which is stills without plugging them in. Keith ''Always do sober what you said you would do drunk.

    This may not click, but, good info. Clicky: http://performancedesigns.com/docs/dualsq.pdf There is also other testing on two outs somewhere on the net. Keith ''Always do sober what you said you would do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.'' - Ernest Hemingway

    Chamberin is made by Liftmaster, or vise versa, both are good. Someone mentioned getting the better, aka heavy duty, from a door company. Highly recomended. The big box stores usually carry the cheaper lines and I've found the cost not much more to cash and carry from the pro dealers. Keith ''Always do sober what you said you would do drunk.

    Thanks Dave. That explains a lot and makes me a little more comfortable that ''Big Brother'' isn't here yet. But.... I think he's coming. Keith ''Always do sober what you said you would do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.'' - Ernest Hemingway

    He was using an onboard computer. That seems a lot like texting while driving to me. He said he does it all the time. Thanks for all the replies. I didn't think this would be such a lively discussion. Next question. How much info do they get by running plates? Do they see that I had a DUI 12 years ago? Does that make them want to follow me?

    Having the bi-annual dinner with some family yesterday, my nieces' husband is a sheriffs deputy and I ask him if he recognized me on the way to work one morning. He said he thought it was me but ran the plates anyway. He said he does that for EVERY car he meets that he can catch the plate #. Also says he catches a lot of suspended drivers, warrants, etc... that way. I have nothing to hide but, the driver isn't necessarily the registered owner. Sounds like a Big Brother way of keeping an eye on all of us. The question is: Is that probable cause for pulling a car over? Keith ''Always do sober what you said you would do drunk.

    First off, RELAX! Let me try to put this in perspective. I have almost 44 hours of freefall time (ie: experience), that is a little over one weeks work experience at a new job. You have what?, 10 minutes of actual freefall and 30 minutes of tunnel time. RELAX. No one is really a natural at a new job, let alone a totally new enviroment like freefall. Yes, it takes some longer than others, but, if you RELAX and let it happen, it will come sooner. Keith ''Always do sober what you said you would do drunk.

    You draw and describe exactly how I felt almost 27 years and 3600+ jumps ago. One of the local skygods took me aside after my 23rd jump and said "Keith, you're not good, but you're damned determined." It gets better! Keith ''Always do sober what you said you would do drunk.

    What is missing from the story is; What the hell is anyone doing ''hiking'' in Iraq anywhere near the Irani border? If they were actually hiking, what the fuck are they thinking? Maybe it's a beautiful place to hike, I don't know. Certainly not a smart place to ''hike''. Keith ''Always do sober what you said you would do drunk.

    I'm sending in my neptune 1. Can that be fixed? What's the trade up offer? Keith ''Always do sober what you said you would do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.'' - Ernest Hemingway

    I'm over 50 and prefer digital. Not so much for the for the reading at the time, but way better for the recall later and accuracy. I see 5.6 and remember 5.6. Not just 5ish like I know my student is seeing. Keith ''Always do sober what you said you would do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.'' - Ernest Hemingway

    Dude, This is the funniest thread I've ever read. I'm guessing you were just having fun with this. If so, well played. If not, wow! I want to know what's happening when I'm doing a flat turn above said cloud when I'm going crosswind. Still laughing. Keith ''Always do sober what you said you would do drunk.

    I gotta agree with Chuck on this one. I don't hate the new sticker, but, I don't think it will cause anyone to follow me to the next exit, gas station, whatever. The old sticker has often in the past. Keith ''Always do sober what you said you would do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.'' - Ernest Hemingway

    Just bought a display model, no box, for $495. 18 -55 mm lens included. Looked to good of a deal to pass up. I could use a warm fuzzy here. Did I do good? Keith ''Always do sober what you said you would do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.'' - Ernest Hemingway

    Have you checked the line trim? I know that's not what you asked about but from my experience when they start opening "funny" it means I'm due for a new line set. Keith ''Always do sober what you said you would do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.'' - Ernest Hemingway

    Slight arc in the control lines is not what you should be looking for. How far can you pull one or both control lines down before it deflects the tail is what you should look for. Can you stall it the way it is set up? Can you use the front risers with the toggles still in your hands and not deflect the tail? And of course check the line trim.

    Looks to me like like the right side of your collapsible slider caught your left toggle/riser just as the line twist was coming out. ymmv. Keith ''Always do sober what you said you would do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.'' - Ernest Hemingway

    Good stuff, but, why is it that everyone with a camera on their head is looking at their canopy as it inflates when they should be looking in front of them, looking out for others?
