    Just a thought, but I'd think that iMovie would have to recognize the external device like it does your video camera. There are some video cameras that are -not- recognized by iMovie (no drivers made for that model). ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

    Keith, I -knew- you were one of us! Thanks for the laugh this morning!! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

    Then that poor man was crying for help so he wouldn't have to go through decapitation! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

    If you can't identify the spider who bit you (hopefully you can catch the sucker and take it with you dead or alive), watch the bite site. If it turns a patriotic red, white and blue then you know you're in trouble. White=the bite site and puss forming Red=surrounding the white and signifies inflammation and infection Blue=surrounding the red and signifies that tissue is dying. This kind of bite spreads very quickly and once the tissue dies it's gone. We've all read about (and I've met) people who have lost limbs due to this nasty spider. And it -can- kill you. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

    Worst brown recluse spider bite that came into the hospital where I was working was a man who was bit just where the testicle attaches. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

    First from the boss himself...now the Happy Birthdays from us lowly folk. A Very Good One to you, b^2!

    Actually, a Pro-tec will protect you better than most helmets. Forget the newbie look it has and think about all that foam that helps with deceleration. Other, more cool looking helmets, don't have this full padded feature. However, all in all, we're talking about bumps to the head being protected. Anything with much force won't be helped by a helmet. The helmet will just become a bucket to keep the brains in one place. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

    Most, if not all, insurance companies -require- that you protect yourself to the letter of the law. For instance, for motorcycles and equestrian riders they require that you wear a helmet to be covered. As for skydiving...we all know that helmets are only worn to keep your dytter in place and keep your ears warm. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

    Certainly. Then let those people who look to the government to pay for their injuries stop doing that too. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

    If my mom had her way, yes this would be the case. However, like skydiving we don't let people out of the plane without a rig, a motorcyclist should wear a helmet. Like I said...feel free to contact me and join me for a day of work. Just a helmet....(or in a car...just a seat belt)...and things would have been VERY different for my patient(s). ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

    I invite anyone with this mind-set to please come and spend just a day at work with me. The young, brain injured men who we have the duty to treat is gut wrenching. They can sit. They can try and stand. Their mind is working and they are trapped inside a useless, painful body. Their insurance (or that of their parents) may be adequate in the beginning....but remember, this is a LIFE-LONG disability and insurance -does- run out. They -then- become dependent on the state to pick up the bill. That, or their parents have to foot the bill themselves. Both are a burden. This is -not- a Teri Shiavo case. She is brain dead and is among the 'living dead'. She should have been let go a -long- time ago. I'm talking about those (mostly men in motorcycle accidents) who are still brain alive...but body dead. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

    The link that you posted is to the -video- connector. It does -not- transmit sound. However, I know what you mean. A regular headphone jack into the headphone port on the computer...along with normal splitter can get stereo sound to any other device that has RCA connections. I use this all the time when I create a short one-jump video (for fun jumpers) and they want it downloaded to a VHS. I hook the video up, with the connector you posted, to the VCR...then add the RCA audio jacks and away we go.

    Sunshine..........Please don't run around the house singing this. My thoughts exactly! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

    Thats the plan. When i get around to adopting a new orange kitten, it will be named Butter. Right now i can't afford the vet bills so i have to wait on the 3rd cat. Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

    Believe it or not, I -have- smelled a 4-way flyer's fart in freefall. There I was, minding my own business...flying camera for this 4-way team.... ltdiver oh please... now you're telling some tall tales. What's next? JP saying he smelled fart in the wind tunnel? Nope. Not telling tales as all. This skydiver has a very well known reputation for having the most horrendous, smelly farts ever! In fact, he's one of my teammates this year... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

    Yes, it is different. One is brain 'dead', irreversibly (Teri). The other is not and perhaps has a normal EEG (unconscious or coma). Very different. Reflexive action, even with the sleep/wake intervals Teri has, does -not- mean she has higher brain activity. Don't let it fool you. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

    Peanut? Jelly? Do you have another cat named Butter? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

    Oh HELL, OUCH! So sorry to hear, Andrea! Vibes to your daughter's skill in getting you all home!! Snowboards....so dangerous! I hear they don't open sometimes and...

    That reminds me of a pre-"A" license solo skydive I made at the DZ. I came down from the skydive and my goggles were all gooped up. I went over to my instructor and complained about the bugs. He just grinned and looked amuzed when he said....."Bugs don't fly that high!" ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  23. ltdiver
    Yep. I chose the place I learned, not because they had the largest and best aircraft on the block (they didn't), but because when I asked about other DZ's around they didn't bash them...they praised them. This made me want to ask more about their operation and their truthfulness signed me up. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

    Yes, in the movies, ALL bombs beep and have flashing red countdown lights. Remember to cut the blue wire, not the green one. And so the general public -would- think something was up... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

    Just don't take your dytter on the commercial plane with ya. I did, flying back from SDC's Nationals back in 2002 and was surprised to hear it going off during the flight. I was so surprised that nobody picked up that there was a beeping coming from my bag.... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
