Thanks. I think 1 is allready changing, 5 will change at least partly, 4 is true but that only has an effect if the US can pay for what it buys and i don't see how the US will be able to do that. Who determines how much risk US treasury bonds are? Is that based on experience in the past? On #2 i don't understand how the liquidity will effect the value of the USD. Does anybody have an idea how high the FEDs interest rates are compared to the past? How big is the influence of the future president, could the dollar be stronger with a democratic president? Thanks for all the input so far. Franco If it does not cost anything you are the product.

Ok, so that everything points to a weaker dollar except competitive prices of US good abroad. Can anyone tell me why the dollar will not be just another one of the worlds currencies in a few years and not THE DOLLAR. I think i will chose the waste the money strategy.

China dumping part of its US$ reserve has more influence on the US$ than the war. I wouldn't count on the US$ getting near $1.2 to €1 for quite some time... 1 to 1 will take even longer Ok, but will the Americans be able to prevent their currency from loosing value in the long run. Will they ever be able to get a trade surplus, as far as i can remember they have never had that. I just recently read that the amount the US is paying for their credits is higher than foreign inverstments in the US. Americans households all together are supposed to have a negative savings tendency, meaning they spend more than they save. Along with the wish of some oil exporting countries to trade oil in Euros instead of Dollars that does not give me a reason to think the dollar will ever be a strong currency again. What in the world can people still buy in dollars therefore raising the value. Oil ist one thing, American companies is another but products is not because it get's overwelmed by what americans buy elsewhere. Somebody tell me i am mistaken.

Can someone with more insight on economics than myself give me some reasons why the US Dollar could become stronger against the Euro in a year or so? I am currently earning and saving Dollars, but the exchange rate does bother me when i take my savings back to germany, it is getting worse and worse and i am only finding reasons for an even weaker dollar. I don't want to waste all the money i make :-) Franco If it does not cost anything you are the product.

feuergnom, who sometimes posts here has had a premature reserve deployment in a hybrid because of insufficient slack. I think it is too short i am not a rigger, but i have been told 4 to 5cm f you have the rig on at least. Franco If it does not cost anything you are the product.

tried Premiere first, then movie maker, then just to watch i used resolume, that did not work either, just like Scenalyzer. But, my problem could be that i am using a PC350 PAL like bob.dino said.

I have the same problem only the other way around, i can't capture NTSC from my PAL camera but i can watch it on the camera. Frank If it does not cost anything you are the product.

You have way to many stop signs in this country. Where is the option for only stopping ocasionally. :-) Franco If it does not cost anything you are the product.

What N24 said and yes, they are made at thomas sports equipment in GB. Franco If it does not cost anything you are the product.

Got 3 of those for about 10Euro on german ebay, althoug the right angle plug is a bit bulkier, and of course you would have to cut off the Audio plugs to have more room in the helmet. Franco If it does not cost anything you are the product.

4 way stops What's the point with these 4 way stops, just makes everybody stop use Yield signs and general trafic rules. The US must have the most Stop signs in the world, europe can live with a lot less, why can't you? Franco If it does not cost anything you are the product.

Arrieved in Munich both checked Bags lost in Atlanta, probaby because my flight arrieved a bit late, but my rig was carry on, so all is good. I had to explanin though that my rig does not have a zipper to open it

I just got through security at GSP and they did not even open my case with the rig. We will see if i can take my rig onto the plane. Franco If it does not cost anything you are the product.

Yes, it is an awesome DZ. According to map24.de its 148.18 km away from where he is going. Franco If it does not cost anything you are the product.

Thanks for sharing that, that must have been the best Wingsuit Video i have seen. I even knew someone in there. Franco If it does not cost anything you are the product.

Hmm, may i suggest a bigger canopy and a moped instead of a motorcycle ? Ok, here is mine: 1 broken fibula mountainbiking. Franco If it does not cost anything you are the product.

About 5000 miles

I say a Rodriguez wingsuit jump is in order then! Cool, i will be there too. Any prizes for Rodriguez Brothers whos place of initiation is furthers away from Chester? Franco Rodriguez If it does not cost anything you are the product.

Yes, it is. But it really does not say what you did. Is that all you got? PM me ifor my phone nr. f you need more translation. Franco If it does not cost anything you are the product.

Yes, years ago a just licenced jumper had his hand cought in the risers or the lines just above, but if i remember corrctly he was not in line twists. He cut away wich cleared his hand and pulled reserve. Since then my hands don't go up there until the canopy is open. My canopy is slow enough to have enough time to steer if need be. Can't steer the canopy until it is open anyway. Franco If it does not cost anything you are the product.

When i first heard of the convention many years ago i was a student on a tiny dropzone in Germany. Jumpers from my club just got back and had tons of stories to tell. Some became Rodriguez Brothers and so the family spread further. This year i will most likely be at the WFFC, for me ist about lots of people, lots of planes and lots of people from lots of countries. I am allready 4000 miles closer to the convention :-) where i am now. Franco Rodriguez If it does not cost anything you are the product.

Sounds like a good idea, i will have to try that too. Franco If it does not cost anything you are the product.
