  1. I don't think that this is having the effect Pedigree wants; from all I can see about people's reactions on the web, it simply makes people sad. They may go to a shelter but it doesn't motivate them to buy Pedigree. The line that gets me and most others is "I know I'm a good dog ..." Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

    DLP or Plasma

    From what I have observed in stores and in my son's homes (oldest has Panasonic plasma, youngest Samsung DLP) I've dropped DLP off my list of possibilities. DLP is WAY too viewing angle dependent, both horizontally and vertically. I still am considering both plasma and LCD. Higher quality LCDs (with contrast ratios in excess of 3000:1) are becoming more available and when I get set to buy I'll go with the best available then at the price I want to pay. The 1080p LCDs I've viewed do fine with fast motion, btw, but at $3000 a pop they'd better! Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

  7. I have seen two cameras ripped off the helmets in the last three months. One was a top-mounted digital still caught by the risers of a departing main, the other was a side-mounted (badly, at that) video camera that came off after a riser strike. First person was about ready to release his helmet but the camera mount gave out faster, second person just got very lucky...cause there was also this fatality about a year ago, where the most probable cause for main/reserve entanglement was determined to have been a riser hanging up on the camera mount after cutaway. No release system on the helmet and an extremely experienced skydiver. That's three that I know of in the last 12 months... We lost a good friend app. 5 years ago when Jan D. had a mal and her reserve was snagged by her camera helmet -- she got the helmet off and tried to clear the mess but to quote the report "impact was face down, helmet was off." Cameras are a great tool, but one absolutely must have the skills to handle to way they complicate every aspect of the jump. To the OP, the rules many places have regarding when one can jump with a camera are, like most skydiving rules, grounded on experience. They are not there to hamper you, they've come about because we want to keep people from repeating bad history. They are not written in stone. They are written in blood.

  13. Berlin, Wi was known as "The Fur and Leather Capital" of the state. N.B.: Do you remember the old Wild Bill Hickock TV show and his sidekick Jingles (played by Andy Devine)?

  16. Cricket -- as Explained to a Foreigner You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out, he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he's out, he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes there are men still in and not out. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time, and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men are out (including those who are not out), then the game is finished.
