  2. From our recent local news... ----- "It's very serious and there is no reason for it," says Andrew Bissett of Calgary Bylaw Services. The fine for throwing burning litter out of a window in city limits is one thousand dollars. Eight charges have been laid under the new litter law and 65 warning letters have been issued. Anyone who spots someone discarding a cigarette butt from their vehicle can call 3-1-1 with the licence plate number." ----- "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

  9. What about Alti-Track? If I recall correctly, Pro-Track used a serial interface. Alti-track is USB with a special dongle between the unit and the USB port. You get Jump-Track 3.0 for free with the USB cable and dongle. Some of the features look nice - particularly Linux support for geeks like me. It would be nice if it supported the Alti-Track USB download. From the Paralog FAQ http://www.paralog.net/faq.html Q - Does Paralog support the AltiTrak? A - No. Unfortunately, L&B has decided not to disclose the communication protocol. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

  21. I saw this.... Did the money actually get donated? This article says it was turned down. http://www.theleafchronicle.com/article/20090321/NEWS01/903210341 Humane Society rejects gift over 'questionable' images Charity fundraiser images offend, parachuters say it was all in fun By STACY SMITH SEGOVIA • The Leaf-Chronicle • March 21, 2009 The Humane Society is not in the business of turning away donations, but that's exactly what it did this week, returning by registered letter a $100 bill given by Chuck Owen, a representative of Adventure Skydiving Tennessee (AST). The conflict between the two organizations began eight months ago when Elaine Weil, executive director of the Humane Society of Clarksville-Montgomery County, was alerted to photos posted online of people skydiving while holding animals. Weil became concerned that AST was involved and that the animal jumps were happening at AST's home base, Outlaw Field. Owen said the pictures were from the Web site of an AST employee, no animals were harmed, and that AST itself had no involvement in the jumps, which occurred in Alabama. Ultimately, Weil was satisfied that the skydives had not occurred at Outlaw Field. But in looking at the AST Web site, Weil found information on an event called the "Cat AIDS Boogie" that AST claimed it held as a fundraiser for the Humane Society. Promotional materials included an image of a girl holding a cat captioned "This is your cat," then an accompanying photo of a dead cat floating in murky water captioned "This is your cat on AIDS." The fundraiser Owen is an instructor with AST who has completed more than 7,000 skydives. On weekends, he and other AST staffers take up hundreds of customers for skydives at Outlaw Field. Owen said the promotional Web pages for the Oct. 11 fundraiser to fight FIV, or feline AIDS, were created by volunteers, not AST employees. "All of those images are taken off Google Images. We didn't make those," Owen said. "We try to make light of situations. We portray it in a funny manner — maybe not the most tasteful funny manner, unfortunately." Months passed, and the Humane Society did not receive fundraiser proceeds from AST, so Brandi Wilcox, president of the local Humane Society, contacted Owen and asked that the Humane Society's name be removed from the Web site. Owen said a donation was forthcoming. Owen pinned the delay on problems with the sale of shirts printed to commemorate the Cat AIDS Boogie. "We didn't get them in as timely a fashion or as inexpensively as we thought," he said. Surprise visit Owen brought $100 in cash to the Humane Society office on Feb. 28, along with a photographer to document the gift. "The unexpected visit to our office to turn in the donation, with photographer included, was a bit peculiar given our communication with your organization over the last several months and unfortunately only served to appear as a last-minute attempt to save face after public dissent with your group's actions," Wilcox wrote in the registered letter to Chuck Owen, with which she enclosed the donated $100 bill. The donation was rejected because of "questionable material that in no way represents the mission and goals of the Humane Society of Clarksville-Montgomery County," Wilcox's letter said. Owen said he regrets causing any offense to the Humane Society. "We don't condone any cruelty to animals," Owen said. "I wish it hadn't gotten so blown out of proportion. If anything, we're guilty of having bad taste." "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
