to the gamers out there: I desperately need ideas for Wii games for my kid. I am not a gamer and he didn't give me a list either. He is a fan of StarWars and Avatar....

OHH! I just read this post..bought an hc5 last night as well.. didn't know about this.. bummer.. that's 3 jumps and some beer. -
I've used both the NVertigo X and Hurricane with external audible ports for 9 years. Never lost or damaged anything in over 1500 jumps, but maybe I just got lucky

Hillary - She's Been Asked And She Said YES ..
piahenzi replied to christelsabine's topic in Speakers Corner
Good strategy by both people. Obama removes the threat of her challenging him in the 2012 election, while she has the opportunity to reestablish herself as a worthy candidate in 2016, based on more than being the First Lady and a carpetbagging Senator. In 2016 she'll be 69 yrs old...and there was flack about McCain running at 72. hmmm... I don't see it for her, I really don't... -
After 200 vids as a rookie this year, here are the main points for me, leaving out the obvious camera issues etc etc. These are secondary, IMO, to: ..DO engage the student. You have the privilege to be there on one of their most exciting adventures in a lifetime. They will remember you for a long time and it might just be because of you they become jumpers for the long run. ..DO check that their goggles are tight/on if the TM has missed that part in the plane. Be reassuring if they are nervous. Key into their mood and work with it if the TM happens to be less than interested. ..DO instill confidence and fun. No matter how they did on the jump, be there for the landing and make them feel like a rock-star. Smile during the skydive, it gets them to smile and makes for better video. ...DON'T get anywhere near that drogue. Work the exits safely with each TM. Every TM has a different count or none at all. Learn them, memorize them, and if late, so be it, but see sentence one. ...DON'T get complacent about your gear checks... safety first, cameras second... ...DON'T bring a bad attitude to the day. If the TM isn't feeling it, it's up to you to make it happen for the student. Edited to add: I definitely see female videographers bringing a softer side to it all. Product is product and the quality of the jumping/flying and editing has to be there but watching the other chicks at the Ranch and analyzing myself, it does seem we have a slightly different approach to the student from the male videographers...not a criticism but rather an observation.

I received this as an email from a friend and it spurred me to make donations from my company to Operation Homefront "adopt a family" on behalf of my customers as their 2008 Christmas thank you gift..beats the same old same old. Spreading the word matters... I am proof!!

..LOL!! yeah, I think you have to be raised with the stuff... when you're a kid in a blue collar family in Switzerland it's bound to get on your plate at some point...and with strict Swiss parental units, well, what can I say, you don't get bratty about your food...

Nope.. he didn't but I did. Nicely done... and to Virgin Burner - being ex Kanton Bern, I agree. That's the CH version of what we call "comfort food" in the US. Can't get my husband to do the blood sausage but he sure does love the Rosti!

Schweizerin! Als Kind ausgewandert. Schon lange ( 30+ Jahre) in NY - arbeite fuer eine Deutsche Firma (habe in 2000 die US Niederlassung gestiftet). Mein schriftliches Deutsch ist ein Horror (nie richtig Deutsch gelernt) aber ich schlage mich mit CH Mundart durch.

Gratuliere !!! War anscheinend eine strenge Woche. Toll das Ihr es geschafft habt.

...even if the videographer took the video and didn't realize exactly what was going on at the time/the severity of the accident, and that he/she captured it on tape, why not, during the edit/dub just fade before that?? Seems a case of really bad judgment here... There's no need to eliminate the whole video but obviously common sense failed to come into play here and miserably at that...I hope I never have to see something like that...

Any video people taking stills and video of any of the jumps??
