  1. I learned in Dubai. So stay right the fuck outta my way. (Edit to add: Watch out for Canadians in hire cars!)
  2. This should get you started: http://books.google.ca/books?id=YQnRrUvFPoIC&dq=%22solar+gardening%22&printsec=frontcover&source=bn&hl=en&ei=jX-YSYqEB5mktQOY4_V8&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=5&ct=result#PPP1,M1
  3. In all seriousness, I am one of those with a lot of experience. To offer any help at all, I would need a lot more info - like what kind of project? PM me with as much info as you can. edited to add: Jeffyxyz knows what he's talking about, no doubt can offer solutions as well. Jim
  4. Whatever the hell you do with this thing, don't play with it in the bathtub!!
  5. The World POPS Meet will be held there June 2010. http://www.paracadutismoverona.it/interne/scuola_di_paracadutismo_Contatti.ashx?ID=5319.
  6. Yeah, I know. Pick up one of these: http://www.day-lights.com It's just the cat's. Looking back on many winters in the arctic never seeing daylight for months on end, I wish I'd had something like this then. Happy days!
  7. "not all those who wander are lost" j. r. r. tolkien
  8. Looking at someone's wife the wrong way has got me into a bit of a pickle in the US. Iran is one of the places I'd love to visit, the Iranians I've met at home are great.
  9. Well, there's a small town in Texas..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNJltiySGp8&feature=related
  10. "It's part of being a citizen" That's interesting. The United States of America has no "official language".
  11. Military only in Bahrain, if you are military you might have a chance. Super nice guys, do mostly (classic) accuracy. Qatar also as a military team (4way). Otherwise, it's UAQ. Very friendly dz as has been mentioned already.

    "House"

    Amazing in HD. The guys doing the cinema-photography and lighting are brilliant.
  13. Pass on my regards. Vic may remember me from the old Grindale dropzone, summer of '73. I ran into him again at Perris, late 1981. Some people you don't seem to forget. Vic must be one of them! jimp
  14. A few more new friends. I am lucky indeed.
  15. Skydivers. Amazing, talented, beautiful. Or, some of my new friends! (From the Asiania championships at Al Fujairah UAE last month)
  16. This year it's my time for an upgrade - from a 252 Foil to a 260
  17. Had to settle for a couple of these my last half-dozen jumps: www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/row/cn-235.htm
  18. A few shots taken at Umm Al Quwain last October. Teams from Oman and Bahrain were there training.
  19. Thanks, John. A wonderful tribute to an everyday hero. Please re-post this on Nov. 11. "Lest We Forget"
  20. When I sent in my application I didn't include money for both SCR and SCS. When the mail came back from Bill the SCS was awarded, plus a refund. So, I have an SCS but no SCR. When you guys get caught up, I'm going to re-apply. It's going to look something like this: SCR 20,000-and-something, SCS 173 Thanks for all the dedication and hard work over the decades.
  21. You're thinking of this, maybe? www.wollemipine.com/news/herald-tribune.php So far as I know, nobody's jumped there yet.
  22. Took a while, here we are. Pete Ford used a Mamiya C22 twin lens reflex for this sequence - no motor drive, just the old fashioned hand crank method to advance the film. I learned recently from Dave Smith in Australia that Pete died a few years ago. He was a good friend, and will be remembered.
  23. Lyle Cameron? I remember a shot like this from many years ago of Lyle; one of the 200 or so different aircraft types he logged.
