$10 mill for a 4 meter tunnel. That's what I was thinking. Including building the facility and total installation of turbines. As for cost to operate. Safe to assume $1k / day in electricity? And a staff of 5 with the usual overhead? At a cost to the customer of $25/min? Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Again I'm sorry I'm at work so no porn or youtube. But he had it on his shoulder, flaked both sides, pulled up the center around the lines. Gave it a few twists, but only on top, and then layed it on the ground with the twist up and not down. So he put a half line twist in. Then pulled the birdle out suck that the fastner was now visible. Then he did something funky, as the material lay on the gound in a V configuration. Grabbed each corner and corssed it and and folded and rolled. It was really strange, very quick and looked very clean in terms of material controll. After all let's face it it is much easier to roll material than to fold. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

MBA Business Case for a tunnel. I'm sorry to bother everyone, but where can I find estimates as to how much it would cost to build and operate a medium to large sized closed system tunnel? It's a part of an EMBA project and I can't seem to find anything on google. A rough estimate would be greatly appreciated!

Coming from a multicultural background, I have to say when it comes to human contact the only people who are worse than Americans are maybe the Finns. I understand that it's our culture to work then promptly go home and maybe go out on a Saturday or Sunday but......it's not healthy. Of all the cultures I have seen and places I have visited I would have to say Belgium and many of the South American countries such as Bolivia have a better culture with respect to interacting with friends and family. Every other time I speak to my friend in Belgium or Bolivia they are either on their way to or hosting a little lunch or dinner for friends. And when I visit it's the same. Nothing fancy nothing expensive just a mid week get together for a little bit of food, coffee and a few good laughs. Sounds like what everyone wants from their DZ Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Well small as in we all know each other and keep an eye out for each other. I have yet to venture out to larger DZ's but from those that visit most seem to like how the DZ behaves as a small family. As for going out with no handles pulled......I don't know if it's the best way to go or the worst. Perhaps the best for you since in theory you wouldn't feel a thing. Impact speed would be significantly higher than the speed your body can precive pain. But perhaps the worst, think of what your friends having to ID your sorry ass. I don't know. The world is a dark and sometimes lonely place at times. And I know the person who "goes in" is just trying to find peace even if is for just one moment. But maybe we should give all of our friends a good hug when we see them. I know for American's this is kind of abnormal. But human contact can go a long way to helping others see that life may not be perfect but at least they have an extended family.

I've seen all the threads regarding which AAD is better or worse, and I would like to stay away from that. I think I will go with new, they seem to hold their valure rather well. And I intend to stay in this sport for a few more years so I'm sure I will get good value for what I put into it.

I'm sorry I am at work and can't access youtube to post the video. But late last night I saw a video where some guy was packing via some sort of psycho / pro pack hybrid. It was really funky but looked rather efficient. As I recall, he counted out the cells, quartered and flaked as usual brought in the center cell over the top as you would do on a usual pro pack and gave it a few little twists and then turned the thing on it's back and went into the psycho pack of folding and rolling after he pulled the bridle out and to the left. It was rather interesting and looked to be a very efficient method of keeping controll over the material. Did i see something odd or was the video incorrectly shot? What does the step in which in the psycho pack where you roll half of the material around the lines on each side do?

What you need is the right tension. By the way what is STANDARD LINE? I have no clue, it sounds like some sort of bad joke about condom size!

Yes I've looked into the various designs but what I didn't see or perhaps I may have missed when I was skimming the various posts was 1) How much does the service cost? 2) How do you ship an item such as this? I know energetic materials have to be shipped carefully to prevent unintended initiation.

AAD, buy new or buy used? Some of the ones that are in need of an update, how much is that on average? Is it worth it to buy second hand or just buy new and transfer it as you progress?

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS6 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom Lens Just saw it at Costco for $219 with case and 2 gigs of memory! NICE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAqZeYjqy0A Samsung CL80 At Best buy $280...naked. No extra memory no case. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3d_9bpU2c8 Yeah I'm trendy but $50+ trendy? I'm sorry I just can't find the Canon and I really want to "play" and see how it fits in my hands before I blow the cash. I have to say both of these fit perfectly in an adult dudes hand. BUT.....and this is a huge BUT...the CL80 is really tricked out! Think if your I pod and your camera had a child, this would be IT. But when it's said and sone you guys are right, no matter the brains if the camera has a bad lens no matter the brain crap in is crap out. How did we dudes ever shop before there was the net?

What's wrong with being gay or wearing leather! Some of my best friends wear leather! And some of my other best friends are gay. FYI gay guys make for great wing men. For some reason really really really freaking hot size 6 chicks love them and there are no sloppy seconds!

Nope that was part of the contract. Getting to use my name, calling on my expert advice on color choice and a few nude photos of me wearing their equipment. And all that for one complete parachute system. AAD, container, reserve, parachute and leather chaps!

Anybody Use a Credit Watch Company for Identity Protection?

Hard core? God I wish I was good at 99% of you guys but this job and education thing keep getting in the way. But I can bring something he can't. Any thread started by me about any subject goes to 5 pages! Of which 4.5 of those pages are how no matter what I said is wrong and I should be ashamed at myself?
