Look at who is killing and shooting each other in this country... It isn't the people like me, white male, graduate degree, live in the suburbs.... Does Canada have the same ethnic composition as the US, with the associated drug/welfare/etc state? NO!!! I used to live within a mile of Columbine, and really am sick of hearing about it. You fools that are willing to give inanimate objects personalities should also make the inanimate objects responsible for their actions. My AR-15s don't walk around at night on their own, looking for people to kill... Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than all my guns combined, but he still gets to drive. Not to get into a gun control debate, but anti-gunners just piss me off about as much as people that drive slow in the left lane... ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

WTF? This is BS, I am driven by sexuality... Peter, your unconscious mind is driven most by Curiosity This means you are full of questions about life, people, and the potential of your future. You spend more time than others envisioning the possibilities of your life — things that others are too afraid to consider. Your curiosity burns with an almost physical need to know and do more. It's only through new experiences that you feel a greater understanding of yourself or the world — which ultimately is the greatest way for you to feel satisfied. It is possible that the underlying reason for your drive towards curiosity is a deeply rooted fear of boredom. That means that you are probably more susceptible than others to feel like you're falling into a rut when life slows down into a comfortable routine. You need to make sure you have stimulation in your life — that makes you feel like you're innovating or being exposed to the ideas and experiences that truly inspire you. With such a strong orientation towards curiosity, you're also prone to a rebellious quality that shows up when you feel you are just going through the motions, and are unable to really influence the world around you. But interestingly enough, your drive towards novel experiences also indicates an openness others don't have, but wish they did. Unconsciously, your curiosity presses you to learn more, experience more, and get the most out of life. Though your unconscious mind is driven most strongly by Curiosity, there is much more to who you are at your core. ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

Not to detract from the question about Leading Edge gear, but I thought I would post these just in case I'm not the only one in love with the Leading Edge girl... ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

I am definately getting into BASE, and want to take my FJC soon. However, I hear Idaho sucks even worse than Denver this time of year, so I might have to wait until spring. I am thinking of buying my gear within the next two weeks, so that it will be ready for my class, and also, once I take the class, I don't have to wait 10 weeks to BASE again, while the gear is being built. I also don't want to make the same mistake that I made when I started skydiving, buying new gear that I outgrew halfway into it's production, and then selling for a big loss. I am looking at the Vertigo and CR packages. On top of that, I'm looking at which FJC to take, between the two of those, unless there is another that is much better. But most importantly, as a newbie that has very little understanding of BASE equipment and selection, Vertigo suggests a pin closed container, and CR suggests a velcro container for a first. I know that I want to BASE, but not sure I know what I should get. I am also thinking if the velcro is more of a low container, and the pin is a high/terminal container, I wouldn't have a problem getting the velcro first, (if that is a good idea), and then the pin container after a while, and just have two rigs in the future, depending on the object... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

I haven't spent too much time trying to capture stills using Premiere, because when I tried it, the interlacing made it look like I had ghosts, and the files were WAY too big. I guess my suggestion to your problem would be to use the photo option on your Sony, (I hope you have a Sony, otherwise my suggestion is worthless). If you don't have the video on tape, just on the hard drive, put them back onto tape with Premiere export, and then click off pictures onto a memorystick... Hope you have a Sony...

Just wondering what others can say about the Stiletto, Vengence, and Velocity. I've been jumping the Stiletto for a while, and wondering what the "natural" progression is from there in time. Also, how do these compare to the FX and VX, and is there anything that is on the drawing boards that is worth watching out for? Thanks, Peter ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

How about a different poll- Ketchup - Sauce, condiment, or only thing in Peter's refrigerator? ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

Yea, it was with the system... I put this post on one of the other topics... Re: [kevin922] Anyone have problems with Premiere??? [In reply to] Quote | Reply -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So it appears that after all the frustration and help offered, the problem is that Dell computers SUCK!!! The computer I am on is the third warranty replacement, after 4 replacement hard drives, a replacement monitor, a replacement motherboard, a replacement CD-R, and about 15 times of reformatting and reinstalling Windows. This computer works, which I think is just by chance, but it works... Thanks to all that gave me suggestions and advice, but in my case, it is just that Dell sucks so bad that I cannot begin to put into words how much they suck.... ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

That is true.. The interval recording feature is cool, when that is what you want, but that would suck if the solution was that easy to fix.... ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

Yea, Brandon, as I'm sure you've figured out that a lot of those East Coast places out in NY, NJ, etc, are scheisters, and they sell a lot of gray market, no warranty, the included battery/memstick/etc is extra. And if you just want a setup, like you would get at Best Buy, and nothing else, they aren't willing to sell the camera to you. So beware all out there about these places.... ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

I use .45 on my PC9 for freeflying, and seems to work great. I would venture to say, and chime in if you disagree, that .45-.50 seems standard for freeflying... ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......
