DSE

Translation for people that don't speak hypocRIGHT-ese. 1. I want to have a rational discussion. 2. I will resort to childish name-calling. 3. You people are making fun of me with your name calling. All I wanted was a rational discussion! 4. I demand you stick to the facts, even though when presented, it's my prerogative to ignore them if convenient to my 'philosophy.'

Exactly....Spot on. What culture has ever attempted to exterminate the entire white race? After all, that was Grant's intent with Native Americans... What culture has attempted to enslave the entire white race? None that I'm aware of. Where did we find predominant culture prejudices against whites seen in media, books, music, in *any* culture even up to very recent times? None that I'm aware of. After most of the Plains culture was nearly wiped out due to smallpox and starvation following the Laramie Treaty of 1868....and all the death marches like Bosque Redondo, Cheyenne River, Tesuque, Oklahoma.... I got no problem being proud that my culture is still alive, kicking, and finally making our way out of the ghettos known as reservations. I can't imagine that other cultures feel similar. I don't accept that being white labels anyone a racist, but neither is there anything wrong with being proud of existing in spite of historical attempts at genocide, either.

Whichever one bests supports the facts the way you'd like them to fit for your viewpoint.

Are we all on the same train here? Obama won. That's a fact. You demand facts, but seemingly miss this fairly significant fact. He isn't president yet, and hasn't done ANYTHING that impacts our nation as of yet, but you're attacking him. Fact three (since you want facts)-Bush cost/lost the Republican ticket, not Palin, and not as much Obama's capability of forming words in a manner that actually makes sense. Hell, he can even say "nuclear" All are factual, which is what you continually demand. Bear in mind it's *you* that began the partisan attack. If you can't stand the heat...kitchen door is as close as your mouse.

Well damn...It doesn't address that Obama has one arm shorter than the other and both of his legs are too long. It also doesn't address the *highly* suspicious level of articulation he offers with most every comment. Does it address that he bought a dog for his daughters? Are we sure the dog is UKC/AKC papered?

had a few mins to kill between sessions this afternoon and built an "Eloy in 60 seconds" piece. See it here.

If you're listening to an iPod Classic during the ride to altitude, you've voided the warranty. Can't take an iPod Classic above 3000 metres and expect it to survive for long. Folks in the know use the right kind of player.

Fact 1-Obama won. He wasn't your guy. What's to dispute?? Fact 2-Fact 1 isn't a "philosophy," but rather a fact. Whassamatta there? Bushie screwed the country, and now it's time to criticize the guy that hasn't done ANYTHING as president yet? "Sore loser" doesn't begin to define the concept.

I suppose if you look at it that way, you're correct, but in practice, once the camera is converted from horizontal to vertical, there is no "upside down" as it has to be edited in horizontal anyway. Whether the image is tilted CCW or CW in post doesn't matter. It's not a right side or left side of the wingsuiter, it's horizontal or vertical orientation. I've seen pix of your helmet where you've got the horizontal aspect of the camera turned at an angle, but this is turning the camera entirely on its side. Again...doesn't matter which side (right or left) is up or down. It's easiest to have the display side exposed, because that grants access to the card slot. It's how mine and Scotty's cages/boxes are made, and Norman's is similar. Scotty and Norman each fly two cams and then I rotate the vert image to horizontal. Except for the exits from the aircraft, everything looks quite good/normal, just a different view. I've attached images from the same jump/same timestamps for comparison for those that might not see the benefit of this sort of shot for wingsuiting (doesn't really apply well anywhere else).

http://www.politifact.com/media/img/graphics/birthCertObama.jpg Photocopy of it. "If this document is forged, a U.S. senator and his presidential campaign have perpetrated a vast, long-term fraud. They have done it with conspiring officials at the Hawaii Department of Health, the Cook County (Ill.) Bureau of Vital Statistics, the Illinois Secretary of State’s office, the Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois and many other government agencies."

What he's describing is taking the horizontal aspect of the camera that becomes vertical when the head is turned to the side. Scotty, Norman, Craig, even myself have been doing this for quite a while. Wes builds custom boxes to do this for various cameras. With the Zkulls box, it's a slightly better option in that it can go both ways. It's a nice option. wouldn't mind having one myself. Beats heck on putting a Schumacher mount on a Zkulls and L-plate.

He doesn't put his finger there slowly, it's a Phantom shooting 1000 fps. EVERYTHING looks slow. That's the point of the show, ie; "Time Warp"

Nationals was a lot of fun, and this year, Skydive Arizona and PD had us put together some short video clips to introduce each of the various places in different competitions. A couple teams asked if we could post their introduction vids, so HERE THEY ARE for everyone to see. These are just the VFS winners, if folks are interested, we'll post the others. Some are cut together by Mark Kirschenbaum/Trunk, and others by me. Congrats again to all the Nationals winners.

Scotty Burns is having some issues with his website, so asked if I'd post a few of his pix. Here they are for now. Hopefully his ISP will get him back up and running soon.

I can make that happen... Yeah, the HVX is the greatest Koolaid EVER. Better than the RED Koolaid. At least RED is honest about what they're doing, attempting to do, and TMK, never have lied outright about anything. Panasonic lied. P2 is ancient anyway. Sony offers 60p on the EX1/3...I love the EX1. Norman shot some beautiful footage with the EX1 this past week (from the Lake Elsinore event)

This camera, like any other video camera that has still-capability, cannot be used to properly replace a still camera. Nor can any still camera that has video functionality be used to replace a video camera. Yet.

nah....not negative. As Berry Gordie said "All publicity is good, as long as they spell my name right." Besides, it calls to mind a scene from "The Jerk..." "Things are gonna happen to me now!"

It will be priced in a range you can afford, AFAIK As far as breakaway cable...that's quite easy, but the connectors I'm aware of that have breakaway capability are quite expensive. Gefen has one that is around 200.00...I didn't get to take the cable apart, so it's possible it's only a 10pin.

oops, grabbed the wrong thread. Thanks for the catch!

Nice review from someone I work wth on the Canon 5DMKII. He had access to the Ducati card; I didn't. That's a nice commentary on speed...

http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3396371#3396371 Gee, and only yesterday the comment was made in the last line of that post....it applies globally. Indian crabs, anyone?

Grads can be used for this, as can linear polarizers. Circulars don't work so well for skydiving, but I've seen some very interesting results from shots taken with a circ. It'll cost you a couple stops.

Very nice work, IMO. Nice flow, and unlike some ACID-generated music...it doesn't get boring due to lack of change ups.

care to post a few seconds of what the receiver output is?
