Do you guys know who the skysurfer/videographer are? Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com

I was in those bunk houses before there were windows or matresses. My bed was the wooden floor and by blanket was my jumpsuit! Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com

OMG, that's too funny! Everyone else here at work loved it when the audio started playing.. oops! Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com

Yup, that's why everyone there gives the advice: Don't try to go tandem on the swing! Speaking of Carp, it looked like he had had plenty to drink in that picture of him in your album... Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com

mmm, sour cream & clam potato chips, yummy... next time you go be sure to ask about the swing on top of the hill and get some pictures of that... Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com

We went into Afganistan during the Cold War to protect them (us) from Russia. We put money and weapons into their country and promised to support them and help them in return for their allegiance against Russia. Once the USSR fel apart we left leaving their country in its condition without giving them any further assistance and following through with our promises. Once we had no more political interests there, we left leaving them pissed at us. That is my understanding of it which could be wrong. If anyone else knows more, please correct me.

I'm there checking it out now - looks very cool They do write some excellent software. Unfortunately it takes them about 5 - 10 releases to get it to work. If only we could all use Unix... Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com

You know what? At this point I really don't care what that sounds like to you. Those are my views which I am entitled to and you have yours which you are entitled to. What I do care about is you falsely voicing my opinions what you in fact have no idea what they are. That statement made by you has absolutely no basis in reality. I disagree with what you say (and have experienced the situation first-hand) so suddenly I'm against the United States? Tell me where I said I am not grateful to the US... please...

Speaking of chickens, that guy strapped to me could have used some of that plastic. He, uh, didn't make it all the way through our jump together... he used to sing and dance when you pressed his foot... Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com

First off I am an American citizen, secondly I never said that the US does not provide assistance for Israel. The US provides a TREMENDOUS amount of assistance in many many ways and I am very grateful for it. Yes there is a problem and I acknowledge that the US and Israel are on the same side of the problem - we are both against the terroist extremist groups, NOT against Muslims. How can you try to judge me and post my views (that you got TOTALLY WRONG) on this forum? Please, don't speak for me and don't pretend that you know how I think.

You're done trying to fight the temptation of ice cream and boobies or you need something something to wipe up the mess... Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com

I know nothing about MapObjects, but I do know a lot about pulling my hair out every once in a while. We (I) had to write something to launch an IE web browser in the background, load an xml doc. that we generated, change the print preferences, print, and change the preferences back. The printing stuff IE does not support through their API so we had to do a low level hook. When you're working with hooks and you hit a breakpoint or run-time error the whole IDE would blow up and disappear, now those were fun bugs to hunt down! We've had more problems trying to interface with M$ products (even using their published APIs) than anything else. Misery loves company and there's a lot of us with those problems too Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com

Yeah come on, I mean this is a thread about boobies and.... sorry, I heard the word boobies, lost my train of thought.... Glad you finally decided to stick with the *real* ice cream and boobies thread Steven... Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com

I agree with Eugene about using .NET, it's great the way the you can seamlessly integrate any of the languages within the .NET framework and it's fairly straightforward to use older COM components as well (heck, we're even talking to older apps using DDE.) However, since you probably have a lot of code written that you may not want/be allowed to port over then I agree with what else has been said - take a break. Work on something else or go jump. Clear your mind and the solution will usually find its way in. If you want to get into specifics I would definitely be willing (and I'm sure a lot of others here would too) to look over any code or answer specific questions if we can help. Good luck!

I would definitely agree with the others that having a (good) RW suit will make a tremendous amount of different in your belly flying. It allows for consistent amounts of drag on every jump so that the amount of input you have to put in is consistent too. Booties will also help out tremendously with everything relating to forward motion (getting to a formation, taking grips, tracking.) Most importantly it makes you look good If the suit fits you well and there's just a few minor problems that a rigger or someone else can fix for then I'd say it's worthwhile to keep. If you want to get really good at belly flying then you should definitely have an RW suit. Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com

I could be mistaken, but I recall that before every company out there had a website a few people went out and registered www.peta.com (maybe .org?) and entitled their page People Eating Tasty Animals. PETA ended up suing them to release the domain name and won, but I don't think the original peta on the web would be pissed edit - spelling Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com

I'll be there, tomorrow night at 6:30 is when the briefings start. There's a few other locals who are going as well. Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com

Why not? Is there something wrong with it or would you just rather not spend that much money? Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com

I had earlier only watched the third video, I didn't realize that there were three different videos up, I thought they were just different bandwidth. After watching the first video I feel that the police were perfectly justified in their reaction. Same here, and in the hit of the moment I'm sure the cops would not have stopped to think to themselves whether it was a gun or a cell phone.
