Don't they have duct tape in Wisconsin? Action©Sports

Photography class!! What a novel idea Good for you....you'll be way ahead of the curve before you get half way through the class

A piece of 2 or 3 conductor insulated wire, a stereo plug, some solder, a soldering iron, a normally open micro switch, some heat shrink, a multi-meter, and some very basic knowledge of electronics should get you there. Why do you need a hand switch as opposed to a tongue, bite, or blow switch? No matter how it's activated it still just plugs in to the remote port on the camera. Peace, Z Action©Sports

NTSC - Never The Same Color

Thought you had a degree in Mechanical Engineering? If you can get a passing grade in Three Dimensional Vector Calculus, and you know how to use a small screw driver, I think you have what it takes to slap in a lens assembly Good luck, Z Action©Sports

Can you explain??? I posted this before in reference to DVD formats.....maybe this can help explain the difference. DVD-R is compatible with more DVD players than +R and that's only logical since DVD-R is the original format. The difference is pretty minimal 93% compatibility for DVD-R and 88% for DVD+R. However, those figures refer to commercially made DVD's which in most cases, are created with much nicer equipment than is commonly found on your home PC or editing station. DVD+R is compatible with the CAV writing technique (Constant Angular Velocity). When burning a disc in CAV mode, the disc maintains a constant rotation speed where as in Zone CLV (Constant Linear Velocity) writing (only method used on DVD-R), the writing of the disc is split into 6 different zones (zones are split from the center and outward on the disc) and each is written at different speeds. When writing is completed for each zone, the writing is suspended momentarily until the disc can reach the new higher rotational speed and then restarted. The recording is then linked to the previous zone using buffer underrun protection. The errors most often occur at the link points between the zones and results in a poorly written disc that many players will not be able to read. The issue isn't necessarily one of compatibility but of quality. Peace Z Action©Sports

After a blow like that I'd be surprised if the fucker could commit verbal assault on someone he he he he. Payback's a bitch Action©Sports

I lived in an apartment in Austin,TX once and when I moved out the bastards sent me a bill for $700 which they said was for cleaning and repair. Since I knew there was no damage to the apartment, I just sent them a registered letter stating that they needed to give me an itemized bill listing all the damage and the cost to repair each item - I never heard from them again. I think I'm just gonna buy a house..... Action©Sports

Well, you know how it is in this country - Not only do we need to protect the innocent, we have to protect the guilty as well. Action©Sports

Too bad the guy would walk if this happened over here. Clicky Peace, Z Action©Sports

I think it's a little late for that now. I got my first screws and pins in my right arm almost 18 years ago. Oddly enough, I broke that skiing too I'm beyond help at this point but you stick to your plan. I sure hope it works out

The Doc said if I could handle the pain from the impact, I was cleared to get back in the air.

Nice shot - I love that steep angle on tandems

Gotta say it - Taste like chicken Edit - Unless it was killed by Ace....then it might taste like chicken boiled in bleach and ammonia Action©Sports

Too bad I moved. Otherwise you could have borrowed my Boa, Slinky. She digs da' possum for dinner Action©Sports

Ah, what the hell - I guess I can join in a little shameless self-promotion

Now if you could just learn to quit backsliding, corking, and crashin into shit. Can ya feel the love, Brains? Damn I miss you guys Action©Sports

I don't know about that - I lived over there for 12 years and to be honest, when it comes to freaky, they ain't got shit on Texas. Action©Sports

Yeah, it's easy to mess it up A balloon jump is a lot like a B.A.S.E jump - no relative wind to work with on exit. I usually go off backwards and leave standing on my knees with my head facing upwards at a pretty extreme angle. It all depends upon your subject though. The exit has to be timed right so pay attention to the count, and try to leave either a split second before or at the same time. Here's one from last WFFC - I left just a hair too late and we had to go off the wrong side (the sun was at her back) due to the wind direction and the weight shift in the balloon. One thing is for sure - Balloon jumps ROCK Balloon Pic Action©Sports

Thank ya kindly, Mam
