Yes indeedy, I witnessed said negotiations He's got a cool deal on a main/reserve, and I'll be lending him my spare sabre till he gets a main sorted out for himself. In return he will ship some stuff back top Scotland for me, doncha love cutting deals like that with fellow friends and jumpers. He was stoked...

I'm about 30 minutes away from jumping onto a super twotter. Man, you guys are spoiled with CASA..... Make that 29 minutes...

"Far better to start jumping with a good RW coach early on, before you develop bad habits." Good points riggerrob, and ones that could be equally applied to most skydiving disciplines. I just wish more newbie freefliers would make the time and effort to seek a little "professional" help......I wish I had done so sooner....

Its not my fault, its Cyndi, she just can't help herself..... "Don't make me come down there!" I wish you would, we could sit around drinking beer and swapping 'no shit' and TG stories . Cya D GR# 37 Remember how lucky you are to see and touch the sky; the blind may only dream.

Okay, coolio, I'll catch up with you at the free beer thing on wed. where ya staying by the way? Cya D GR# 37 Remember how lucky you are to see and touch the sky; the blind may only dream.

So are you bringing the mat, oil, and zip ties?? And are you in Houston this w/e? Cya D GR# 37 Remember how lucky you are to see and touch the sky; the blind may only dream.

"One man, however, was pure evil! He criticized me for it, but what can ya do?" Find out where he lives, and return the favour??? When I am putting together a crew of guys (or gals for that matter) for a job, there is seldom any interviewing involved. I sit down with some trusted fellows, examine the stack of CVs. We instantly bin those we already know to be idiots/unsuitable, separate the remaining into folk that we know, and don't know, we'll normally choose the guys we know first, then phone around to check the strangers out and pick the ones we want. Of course if a skydivers name appeared, or someone who mentioned skydiving on their CV, they would be looked upon favourably...

Aww Cyndi, we could have had sooo much fun........I'm outta Texas as of 21st....[sad disappointed smiley face] Still, we have a couple of weekends to play don't we??? I'm not interested in your bras, or panties, I wanted to give you hand with that wrasslin mat, the large drum of baby oil, and the huge crate of zip ties.......

Dave, your system sounds very similar to this transmission system Any loss in quality etc? and can you send me specs of your set up.....This has long been a 'holy grail' type of idea/pet project kinda thingy of mine....But I don't wanna spend the sort of money they are talking about..

Peace brothers..My magic app saves everyone falling out..And, I'm assuming from earlier posts that problems are solved..... "EndItAll 2 October 16, 2001 EndItAll 2: A True Killer App By Neil J. Rubenking Install utilities often tell you to shut down all other tasks before running the install. There are also programs that demand so much computing power that any concurrently running tasks will adversely affect their performance. On today's powerful systems, you easily can have a dozen or more programs loaded at any given time. Shutting them down manually is tedious and time-consuming. This issue's utility, EndItAll 2, lists all the programs running on your system and lets you decide which ones to close down. The processes necessary for basic system operation are protected from termination, though. From the remaining processes, you can choose which to close, which to kill (close down forcibly), and which to protect. Once you know which files you want to shut down, you can configure EndItAll for automatic action via a script or a batch file. This is useful for backups and defrags during off-hours. Options let you block power-management utilities and screen savers during operation. Version 2 is a major update to EndItAll, which was originally published on the PC Magazine Extra Web site. EndItAll 2 runs under Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Me, and Windows NT 4.0, and requires version 4.7 or later of the system library Comctl32.dll. If you're running Windows 95 or NT 4.0, you may need to download an update. You can get it here: http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/ ieplatform/ie/comctrlx86.asp. Choose the latest version number of the x86 download. EndItAll was written with Delphi 6. The source code is provided with the utility for those interested in seeing how the program works. Note that PC Magazine programs are copyrighted and cannot be distributed, whether modified or unmodified. Use is subject to the terms and conditions of the license agreement distributed with the programs. Understanding EndItAll EndItAll has the power to shut down almost any program, and that power can be dangerous. Closing a visible application like your word processor is usually harmless, but killing the wrong invisible background process can crash Windows or make it unstable. You must understand EndItAll's two ways of shutting down programs, which we call close and kill. The safest way to shut down any program is to choose Exit or Close from its File menu, or to click the close (X) button in its top right corner. This gives the program a chance to perform any special shut-down tasks like recording configuration settings or asking if you want to save changes. Whenever possible, EndItAll tries to close a program using the programmatic equivalent of clicking the close button. EndItAll sends a message asking the program to close, and then waits up to 30 seconds for the program to finish up. If the program asks whether you want to save changes, you must answer within 30 seconds; otherwise EndItAll will decide that the close action failed. When EndItAll closes a program in this way, all of the memory and other resources the program was using are returned to the system so other programs can use them. To close an application programmatically, a message is sent to the application's main window. If there is no main window, then the application cannot be closed. Some programs, particularly those that are activated from an icon in the system tray, may have a main window that's hidden. As long as a window exists, hidden or not, EndItAll can send it a message asking it to close. If you can't close a program by clicking the close button, either because there isn't one or because the program doesn't respond, your only recourse is to kill the program by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del to invoke the Windows Task Manager and then choosing End Task. Likewise, if EndItAll can't close a program normally, it can try to kill the program. Killing a program, whether through Task Manager or EndItAll, can cause problems. The program doesn't get the opportunity to record its configuration or save changed data. Under Windows 9x, memory and other resources may not be freed for use by other programs. And killing some essential programs can crash Windows. Thus, you should never kill a program if you can close it normally. EndItAll will try to close rather than kill a program whenever possible. After you have killed one or more programs under Windows 9x, there's a chance that some of the system's memory and other resources are tied up and unavailable to other programs. The most cautious course is to restart Windows as soon as doing so is convenient. Under Windows NT and 2000, EndItAll can effectively force a program to close itself, which avoids the problem of tied up resources. Even so, you may want to log off or restart in order to regain the use of programs that are launched at start-up but were shut down by EndItAll. EndItAll categorizes each program as one of four types: Application, Hidden, Explorer, or Process. Application means the program has at least one visible window. In most cases, you can close such a program yourself. Hidden means the program has only hidden windows; you might be able to close it yourself by activating the hidden window and then closing it. Explorer gets special treatment, in that EndItAll will close folder windows only, not Explorer itself. The last program type, Process, is a background process with no windows, hidden or visible. Because there are no windows to receive the close message, this last type must be killed. Killing a process can be dangerous--and background processes can't be closed--so by default, EndItAll excludes (or protects) background processes from close or kill attempts. This protection is optional; you can remove it (more on this later). If you discover that killing a particular process causes problems, you can restore its protection. By default, visible and hidden applications are not protected; both the close action and the kill action are allowed. You can, however, choose to protect any program you like. Certain programs are permanently protected; EndItAll will never close or kill itself, Kernel32.dll under Windows 9x, and Lsass.exe under Windows 2000, among others. Protection for these programs is hard-coded inside EndItAll, because terminating them causes spectacular problems. EndItAll will never kill Windows Explorer, but you can choose whether to let EndItAll close Explorer's folder windows."

Zen, sprachen se Deutsche? Ich sprachen ein kleine Deutsche..... Now where's my AD#? schweinhund..... Gimme it while you are affected by that potent dust. I don't like that drug stuff by the way, just the way it smells..

I noticed the same thing and was about to ask the same Q as Michelle.....Are people revising their procedures themselves or are they doing what 'feels' right under different conditions....... That said, my FJC was on belly mounted reserves, peel the handle, pull the handle, then punch the shit out of the ends of the reserve container to make sure it deployed, if that failed, start pulling the reserve out manually . If even that failed, get religion quick style..

I think she has gone already, but I'll tell to try and contain herself till you get there

Another era has passed, sad, very sad.... Cya D GR# 37 Remember how lucky you are to see and touch the sky; the blind may only dream.

Snowbird, where do you jump by the way... First time you see it real life, you will giggle a lot, then fall in love with it. Its just so weird looking with that big face and the tongue hanging out etc. Skyvans are so ugly this paint job actually enhances the looks of the thing. Now then the 'Frankenotter' is an entirely different thing....But I think its been repainted. Cya D GR# 37 Remember how lucky you are to see and touch the sky; the blind may only dream.

Chris, defragmenting helps everything run faster and smoother. It puts all the bits of information that the system needs in a logical place, next to each other etc..... Its a bit like tidying up your desk, or keeping up to date with a paper filing system. Cya D GR# 37 Remember how lucky you are to see and touch the sky; the blind may only dream.

Genius, pure genius....

If it appears in the box in EndItall, then yes its running, and should be stopped, it should be perefctly safe to do so. Once you have defragged, reboot and all these wee thingies will start up again as if nothing ever happened....

Hmmm, not entirely sure, my discs are all FAT32 (had to check which shows you much I now about this) however if you go here help Ramon there are some smart people who probably can assist. As usual it would be a good idea to search on the subjects first, and reset the show threads from date xxx thingy. The folks that post here have helped me in the past, and the guy who runs it..Bob Crabtree, is a wee mine of information, plus he published an article about lil' ole me back in 99, so he's awl right...... Are you having problems capturing, there are loads of things that can slow discs up..... Cya D GR# 37 Remember how lucky you are to see and touch the sky; the blind may only dream.
