There's one coming up in May!

And where were -you- during the Eloy dz.com Boogie? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Thanks. That was my pc reply. The -real- reason was to protect the guilty.... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

I got there Friday at 5:15pm. I heard that I'd just missed you and your gal. Sorry! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Was wondering the same thing. I'd be interested to see where they got their information on it being used in skydiving already. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

I forgot it was on today! We used to go down and watch them put the floats together in days previous to the parade (my mom used to help with the decorating when she was a kid). I was listening to Raul Rodriguez, one of the float designers in an interview. He designs and makes about 20 of the floats each year. He was preparing for the rain this year by buying rain ponchos for his crew to wear today. Good guy. Encore broadcast coming on now. Guess I'll get to see the parade anyway! :^) ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Most of us are weekend warriors. Of those who are at Perris during the week (who are dz.commers who post regularly)...look up lewmonst and FrikkenSkydiver at the school. diablopilot has moved on to bigger and better things (well, that's what -he- thinks! ). ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Man! Wish I was back in Eloy with the 70 degree sunny weather and all! I drove home to SoCal last night (especially so I wouldn't have to drive in the rain. I knew it was supposed to come today). No rain at all yesterday or this morning here....but boy howdy it's coming down now! cocheese, go apologize to God! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

None taken. I was on vacation, damn it! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Silly you! Why aren't you here in Eloy with the rest of us! I purposely ran away to Eloy -because- of the rain pelting SoCal. There is a midnight jump tonight to celebrate the New Year. Also a sunset Wingsuit cross country and a canopy cross country here. I'm seeing how my lightly loaded (i.e. taking my 13# of lead off) canopy makes it back to the DZ in the setting sun. Should be a beautiful sunset here. There are thin, wispy clouds to the west, so should be a show. We currently have 3 planes (DC3 and 2 Otters) just for the canopy cross country. Over 90 people have signed up for that. Gotta be fun! Happy New Year to those who can't celebrate with a bunch of their friends tonight (free beer and food at the hanger here).

Siberian Husky/Australian Shepherd mix. Great temperment. Loves to play but has no problem just snoozing in the corner on her own as well. Does not chew or dig holes. Loyal. Quiet. My neighbors know that if -my- dog barks there really -is- something to pay attention to. I have to agree with the shedding, though. Shimano sheds all the year long! She's a great dog, though. Highly recommended breed. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Foes say its risky. 07:37 AM PST on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 By SEAN NEALON / The Press-Enterprise LAKE LEVELS 1,267 feet above sea level: Minimum floor elevation for homes in flood plain 1,265.7: Lake level during 1980 flood 1,263.3: Projected maximum flood level for 100-year flood 1,255: Water begins flowing through outflow channel 1,250.38: Lake elevation as of Dec. 19 1,240: Minimum level for optimum recreation and lake management 1,218: Lake bottom LAKE ELSINORE - Some call it rooftops and recreation. Others fear it will be rooftops and water. Those are the differing descriptions of a 1,670-home development that was approved for construction in Lake Elsinore's flood plain. Supporters say the project will offer home buyers an attractive mix of nearby recreational opportunities. Opponents say the homes could be under water if the lake rises like it did in 1980. Developer Leonard Leichnitz of Lumos Communities in Lake Elsinore is emphasizing the recreational possibilities. Leichnitz said he is working with owners of the city's motocross park and skydiving center that must be moved or altered to make room for the housing. The owners of both are willing to accommodate the project and believe their sites will be improved because of the project. Leichnitz also said he has had initial discussions with developers interested in building a water park and regional soccer venue. Construction of the 600-home first phase will begin in 18 months, Leichnitz said. He expects all the homes to be built in five to eight years. They will range from condominiums to 4,000-square-foot estate homes around a man-made lake. The average lot size will be about 6,000 square feet. City Council members unanimously approved the project Dec. 13. They like how it incorporates recreational uses and believe it will stimulate commercial growth at the city's south end, around Diamond Stadium, home of the city's minor league baseball team. The council also approved a 1,400-home project in the same area last year. Related Flood-plain homes planned Motocross, skydiving facilities plan move Council members and Leichnitz don't expect problems with the Lumos Communities project because of a lake-management program started by the county and city after 1980 to prevent flooding and stabilize lake levels. They also say the homes will have to be built at levels too high to be flooded. Chris Hyland, who has closely watched the lake for 19 years, is among residents who are not convinced. "They can say what they want to," Hyland said by telephone. "All it is, is totally irresponsible." Past Floods The flood plain, which is lower than surrounding land, is at the southeastern end of the lake. The most recent serious flood there came in 1980, when the lake rose almost 2 feet above the 100-year flood level of 1,263.3 feet above sea level. Homes near downtown were flooded and 900 residents were evacuated. Since the 1980 flood, county and city officials developed the lake-management project that built a 17,800-foot levee at the southeastern end of the lake, near the future housing developments. An outflow channel also was improved at the lake's northern end to route excess water out of the lake and into Temescal Wash, officials said. The outflow channel, which was completed in 1994, goes into use when the lake level reaches 1,255 feet above sea level. That happened in 1995 when the lake rose to 1,259.1 feet, said Dusty Williams, general manager of the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, in a telephone interview. At that time, the channel was able to control potential flooding, he said. Earlier this year the lake came within inches of 1,255 feet above sea level when it rose 18 feet in about four months, Williams said. Over the course of 100 years, the lake is expected to rise to 1,263.3 feet above sea level at least once, officials have determined.

Randy Hiner, left, is vice president of Lake Elsinore Motocross Park, Karl Gulledge is a co-owner of Skydive Elsinore, and Leonard Leichnitz is the developer with Lumos Communities. Leichnitz said he is working with the owners of the city's motocross park and skydiving center, which will need to be moved or altered to make room. Excavation In addition to the Lumos Communities project, another is planned. John Laing Homes of Newport Beach is building 1,400 homes and an 18-hole golf course in the flood plain. Both developers must build homes at a minimum 1,267 feet above sea level, almost 4 feet above the 100-year level, according to city requirements. Because the homes would essentially be "individual islands" surrounded by the flood plain, flood insurance would not be mandatory for homeowners, Williams said. All homeowners would be able to get flood insurance because the county is enrolled in the National Flood Insurance Program, he said. Leichnitz said most of his property is between 1,250 and 1,260 feet above sea level. He plans to meet the 1,267-foot minimum by excavating dirt in the recreation areas and using it to elevate the homes. Regulations limit his ability to bring in fill from outside the site because it would mean less space for water during a flood. For example, every bucket of dirt brought into the flood plain will displace an equal amount of water during a flood and enlarge the flood plain. A John Laing representative could not be reached for comment. City officials said that displacement of dirt for the golf course would help elevate homes at that project. City Council members didn't voice any concerns about the home elevations before approving the project. Reached after the meeting by telephone, Mayor Bob Magee said that technical experts advised the city the 1,267-foot minimum is a safe elevation for building. Councilman Thomas Buckley said by telephone the houses would be protected but added, "We just have to watch it very carefully." Affected businesses have also not voiced concerns. Lake Elsinore Motocross Park currently is on leased land where the Lumos Communities homes will go up. It will move to a site about one-third of a mile away from its current location and essentially will be in a 25-foot-deep hole at the development's southern end. Randy Hiner, the park's vice president, who supports the Lumos Communities project, said there is a benefit to being in the hole. It will help offset one of the main complaints about the motocross park: noise. Illustration: Click to enlarge 'It's Ridiculous' Two residents, including Pete Dawson, spoke against the Lumos project before the City Council approved it earlier this month. Dawson, who owns a boat shop and marina on Grand Avenue, said noise would not be an issue if the motocross park, surrounding recreational facilities and homes were under water. Dawson, who has lived in the area since 1964, remembers the 1980 flood. He went waterskiing where the homes will be built. "It doesn't make sense to me to put a house where water once was," Dawson said by telephone. Robert Vermillion also remembers that flood. Vermillion, a City Council member from 1984 to 1988, has been a critic of flood-management policies since his Corydon Street home was flooded in 1980. He believes the depth of the water-table level may limit developers' excavation plans. He also says recent upstream development -- in communities such as Canyon Lake, Sun City and Menifee -- has created more runoff water flowing into the lake. "I've been against the houses because it's ridiculous," Vermillion said by telephone. He fears the homes will flood, the homeowners will sue, the city will have to spend taxpayers' money for legal expenses and residents will lose city services.

Thanks for starting this thread. I need to put in for my time off from work asap and need to know what dates to ask for.

The Digital Rebel XT has a 2.5mm stereo plug need, not what the modification this little handy build-your-own-remote menu entails. This is for a camera like the 10D and 20D. :^) ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

But boy howdy are their jumpsuits dirty! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Typed 2.5mm cable into ebay and came up with this. Don't know what the other end of this cable looks like, but wouldn't hurt to contact the manufacturer and ask. Anyone else seen this remote LANC control switch? I'd still rather use a CamEye, but interesting that this guy thinks he can compete. http://cgi.ebay.com/LANC-Remote-Control-4-Button-4-Helmet-Bullet-Cams_W0QQitemZ7575294378QQcategoryZ23780QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4562194.stm New Year 'delayed' by leap second Scientists are delaying the start of the new year by adding the first "leap second" in seven years. The Paris Observatory said an extra second would be added to clocks worldwide at the stroke of midnight on 31 December. Leap seconds are required every so often to keep our clocks in sync with solar time used by astronomers. "Enjoy New Year's Eve a second longer," said the researchers at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology. Tidal friction The International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service, based at the Paris Observatory, tells the world every six months whether to add or subtract a second from atomic clocks, the standard for everyday timekeeping. A leap second is added to Co-ordinated Universal Time (UTC) to keep it in step with solar time - based on the Earth's rotation on itself - to within a second. Tidal friction causes the Earth's rotation to slow down, which means that solar time tends to drift out of sync with atomic clocks. If this disparity was not corrected, the error could increase to several seconds within a few decades; and would very quickly make software and possibly hardware used by astronomers obsolete. There have been 22 leap seconds added - and no subtractions - since the first one on 30 June, 1972. The new leap second will be inserted at the end of the final minute of 2005, giving the familiar "six pip" BBC radio time signal an extra pip before the long pip marking the hour.

Okay, perhaps someone could clear this up. Does Australia/New Zealand have a higher rate of unusual happenings per their skydiving population...or are their news agencies just more apt to report them? ;^) Here's another one from Down Under. http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3524088a11,00.html Skydivers bale out from smoking plane WEDNESDAY, 28 DECEMBER 2005 By CHALPAT SONTI Nine skydivers had the flight of their lives when they had to make a hasty leap from a plane with a smoking engine in the skies above Taupo. The skydivers - five SkyDive Taupo employees and four clients - were on a routine commercial skydive south of Taupo when the pilot of the twin-engined Cessna 402 aeroplane saw smoke coming from the right-side engine about 3pm yesterday. The plane was about halfway to its planned altitude of 12,000 feet (3657 metres) when the pilot immediately shut the smoking engine down as a precaution. Company co-owner Roy Clements - one of those on board - said the next move was simple. "We just thought we'd better get the hell out of there, so we did. Real fast." Which was easier said than done. The plane was travelling at 225kmh and it took a minute or two to get the divers - four tandem and one solo - out of the plane. Two of the tandems and the solo diver landed in a forestry area near Hatepe, about 15km south of Taupo Airport. The other tandems landed a short distance away. None of the divers - seven men and two women - were injured. Meanwhile, the pilot landed the plane at the airport without incident, aided by the suddenly lighter load. It appeared an oil leak was to blame for the smoke. The plane would be checked thoroughly before returning to the skies again, Mr Clements said. And the company's clients? They didn't have to pay the normal $150 fee for their hair-raising flight. Most were "happily socialising" with staff last night, reliving the adventure.
