    I'm surprised you'd take this tack. Have you read the entire thread? In summary, sometimes a suspect leaves no further practical choice than deadly force. I've done a tone of criminal defense, so believe me, I'm quite sensitive to "due process" and "rule of law" issues. Also please read my most recent post above re: the cops' attempts to gas him out, etc. Yup I've read the thread and I've read some of the news reports, and like most new commentary... its all someone's personal opinion, I have formed my own "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    well first off I am not really sure he's dead... they'll probably find the bodies of two older, un-armed hispanic women in that cabin. But what I find amazing is the hue and cry over the US gov't killing Americans working with terrorists overseas when it appears that Dorner was executed by his gov't too. All the blather about the American overseas not getting due process. Granted I know fuck all compared to many about a lot of things, but it appears to me that someone decided Dorner wasn't going to be seen by a judge and jury either. edit to add: not a response top any one comment on here... just a general comment "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    Hi all, Our DZ uses Facebook pretty well. It lets us get a message out to people pretty quickly with very little effort. I am one of the few admins and its basically effortless. We use it to spread info relating to events, general good to know stuff like service bulletins and of course all the standard BS that gets posted on Facebook. BUT I am not much of a Twitter user. I have a Twitter account but I have not bothered to tweet anything and I follow very few things, BlueSkies mag and USPA are some of the few. My experience with it is limited and the number of things I've seen tweeted by the few things I follow is also few. Are dropzones using Twitter to communicate with their customer base? Are there benefits using Twitter in addition to Facebook, if so what are they? Should the DZ set up a Twitter account? Thanks "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    Good memory! I have no idea if that's a possible solution but here's the links to the old SBs about the silver sleeve. Just posting this for those that are interested in history Original silver sleeve SB from Airtec http://www.cypres.cc/images/stories/storypictures/silversleeve1997.jpg later update silver sleeve - no longer supplied on new units http://www.cypres.cc/images/stories/storypictures/silversleeve1999.jpg "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    I find that much of the information in DZ listings is out of date but I only know that for the DZs that I am familiar with. The others I am left guessing how current the information is. I think it would be helpful if the date that a DZ listing was last updated was displayed. Ideally displayed just under the name of the DZ, close to the top when looking at its information.

    +1 they seem to indicate that there may a another option sometime in the future, but I am not holding breath... not when there is something on the order of 32,000 units to inspect. "4) My CYPRES is in the affected date range but is still responding, can I send it in for the update now? No, at this time please do not send in a CYPRES that does NOT fail the pre-boarding test unless it is time for the 4-year maintenance. We are looking into other possibilities to deal with the affected units and ask that you to be patient with us while we work out the best solution to minimize turn-around time. As you can imagine, it would be impossible to deal with all units at once as there is only a certain amount of capacity available both at SSK in the US and Airtec in Germany ." http://www.cypres-usa.com/SB-FAQ/ "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    I just ran into this very same virus alert on a completely different site.... something must be going around the interweb today But I haven't seen it on dz.com yet "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    Thanks ass. The amount of time it took you to do that it you could of provided some actual help. I'm aware of google and how to use. You asked a simple question that you could have answered by using the search feature on the site and you're calling him an ass? Obviously you don't know how to use Google or you wouldn't have asked this question. I'm very well versed in google searching seeing as my career is technology. I develop the very code you use to browse the internet as well as the back end to systems that support your trolling. Then why can you not see that you got a list of on-line stores with links from the search? Included in that search was this link.http://www.dropzone.com/links/Gear/Dealers/index.html Boy some people are ungrateful "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    Thanks ass. The amount of time it took you to do that it you could of provided some actual help. I'm aware of google and how to use. Maybe he's just better at it than you... His search brought up exactly what you were looking for "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    With the latest AAD issue putting Cypres under the microscope it makes me wonder why someone would voluntarily subject themselves to the rants of skydivers complaining about an AAD not being perfect, service not being immediate, and since they paid for the device it should be perform perfectly and without flaw always and forever. Sure you want this pain? "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    And I'll bet the sport market is probably tiny compared to the military market. If so, I suggest that they would recall military units first. Gotta keep those gov't customers happy "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    cool... I checked the Jumpshack site and I could find pics of the toggles, but I couldn't find pics of the risers. Would love to see pics. I think this is a great idea and I'd love to learn more "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    From Pacific Skydivers facebook page "Thank you everyone for your support during this difficult time. Ian has decided we are done running a dropzone on the Pitt Meadows Airport. Our relationship with the Airport management is beyond repair and it is time to accept that our time here is over. It is our hope that skydiving can continue in Pitt Meadows under new leadership and are pleased to support Shane M with his plan to open his own DZ. Again, thank-you for your patronage, love and support over the past 26 years and lets all give Shane our support. Ian & Deb" sad day for skydiving in Canada "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    at the end of the article it sounds like there is still a chance for Pitt to stay open "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    is like rock-paper-scissors? If not, how does it compare to "rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock"? "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    I agree with your choice of an Alti-2 Galaxy but I suggest that under 200 feet you need to be using your eyes So this: ... shouldn't be a problem. You're only seconds from landing at 200 feet

    this thread too http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4432675;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread Not everyone has his results... some of us have a lot less so it might be him "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    I was curious so I checked using the same tool after browsing around the forums for a while the most I got was 4 I wonder why yours and mine are so different? "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
