I've thought about that, but I'm not sure that's user friendly enough for all of my visitors (the non-techie ones). I'd rather just deal with the spam as best I can for now. I think I'm better off if I'm the one who has the hassles, not my customers. And I'm having fun giving Spam Assassin Pro a workout.

Lisa, check your email. You'd be surprised what those things can do! Dave

Yeah, mine has to be clickable.

I found some Javascript that was supposed to display your email on a web site but not allow an email spider to harvest the email. I used it on my site until I happened to run an email harvesting spider that I have on my own site and discovered that it would harvest the email even with the Javascript (I only run the tool on my own site to test it, I do not harvest email addresses and I do not spam). The other bad thing is that people who have Javascript disabled will not be able to see your email address. If anyone wants to see the script, let me know. I've gone back to a regular mailto link.

One of each. Cuz I can.

One more observation. From the web site: "Dave Mucci, PJ, '74-'80, Owner and CEO of Special Operations Jewelry served six years active duty as a U.S.A.F. Pararescueman and volunteered for service during the Vietnam Conflict." The last U.S. combat troops left Vietnam on March 29, 1973.

I can't resist any longer (no pun intended). We have a legal system where legislators pass laws and judges render decisions that impose unrealistic standards on society as a whole, and sometimes after the fact. In the case in question, several people made decisions about whether it was appropriate for the sex act to continue as long as it did, and some of those people (not necessarily the participants) made decisions about the consequences to the participants of engaging in the act. Several? Yes. The two participants for starters. Either one could've stopped, but neither did. And neither clearly asked the other to stop (if her statement was clear, there wouldn't be any discussion about whether or not it was clear or what it meant). Who else? The judges. And in the end, only the judges' opinions counted. In Georgia it is legal for 16 year olds to have consensual sex. Last year it was illegal. What's different now? Last year people presumably went to jail for doing something they can legally do now? Where's the sanity in that? And whose business is it anyway? It's no wonder to me that people don't respect the legal system or trust it. And I find it very interesting that Congress exempts itself from laws that they pass that impose burdensome and, some would say, impossible restrictions and requirements on private employers. Anyway, I don't think this is as much about what she said or what she meant, or what he thought she meant, as it is about Government and the legal system. What used to be private matters between indiviuals are now matters that legislators and judges poke their noses into (which means they apply their morals, not yours, to your conduct). Okay, I think I'll go get a Diet Coke now, if that's okay with Your Honor.

My experience has been that the batteries that come with a ProTrack do not last all that long (some only 30 days or so), but that "new" batteries seem to last forever (at least a year, usually longer depending on use and settings). I don't know why that is, but that's been my experience with several of them. And their customer service is second to none.

My Ex wifes family is full of em....two heads at FSDO's in IL, and two who work in Kankakee FAA regional office....so yes...you could say I know them. Two of them are also Senior riggers...and would NOT agree with your idea that packing a main is an alteration or repair of the harness/container/reserve system. I don't mind you putting words in the mouths of your ex-in-laws, but don't put them in mine. You are the one who added the words "harness/container/reserve system", not me. And I really think you are missing the big picture here; meaning the fact that it was a sarcastic comment that was meant to stimulate thought and amuse but was not meant as an expression of an opinion or a conclusion. I deal with the interpretation of laws and regulations on a daily basis, and things are seldom black and white, especially when the laws and regulations are written by a committee of people with limited knowledge of the subject and then interpreted by people with even less knowledge. Logic may or may not prevail. I guess the same is true here in the forums. Anyway, blue skies to you. Time to bury this thread?

Packing a main is NOT a repair or alteration to the harness/container/reserve system... Really?? I'll bet you know someone who works for the FAA.

Well, if you take that to its logical (illogical?) conclusion, only a Master Rigger can pack a main. I don't think even the FAA has thought of that (yet). Just havin' fun.

You might take a look at the FAQ's on DAN's site at http://www.diversalertnetwork.org/medical/faq/index.asp. I took a quick look and didn't spot anything exactly on point, but there were some promising looking titles.

I tend to think that 65.111 applies, and that a Senior or Master Rigger or even the person who will jump the rig next can add or replace a BOC pouch.

It's pretty chilly here in Columbus too!

That makes me think you should go ahead and get that book and follow the advice you're getting.

Okay, the lawyer in me feels compelled to point out the fact that nominations were solicited, not votes. You're supposed to wait until all of the nominations are in before you vote. And I'm not sure "voting" is even allowed. Of course, expressing an opinion as to why you would vote for someone (once the nominations are closed) is probably within the spirit of the solicitation. Okay, I'm done. Keep on voting. BTW, I vote for what's his name.

Get a lawyer and an accountant to advise you. A few dollars spent on good advice up front will probably save you many times that down the road. I've seen it too many times. BadDog (aka Corporate Lawyer Dave)

I have one and I like it. I've done sit-flying, head-down, and RW with it and never had any problem. It's very comfortable and I like the way it looks. I also like the way it is designed (no exposed pilot chute cap, additional riser covers, good bridle protection, no Velcro, etc.). The only negative is that the hardware on the legstraps is a little slippery (the legstraps tend to loosen up on me). Yes, the hardware is stainless. All things considered, I think it's a fine container.

He could also try using a MAC filter if the gateway allows it.

The list price of the software and computer interface is $99. I know a guy who uses a rubberband to fasten his ProTrack to the strap on his goggles when he jumps without a helmet (which maybe he has done too many times?). I sometimes put mine in my pocket when I jump, which is what I recommend if you (for some reason) don't want an audible (that way you don't have to manually enter the jump or have your ProTrack out of sync with your paper logbook).

If you really don't want the data just yet, get the Pro-Dytter now and start saving up for a ProTrack. If you want the data now, get the used Skytronic and start saving up for a ProTrack.
