Buying Used Skydiving Equipment

Thursday 7 August 2008 @ 8:11 pm
by Matthew Anderson

It may sound odd, but there is a great value in used skydiving equipment. As in other items such as exercise machines or skis, where people buy them and only find time (or devotion) to use them once or twice, the same thing goes for the equipment involved in skydiving.

Whether it is from lack of use or because a skydiver decides to go into a different area of the sport that involves different equipment, there is a lot of skydiving equipment that goes up for sale in the used market. If you are new to skydiving, this is a great opportunity to buy some usually expensive equipment at a deep discount.

If you do decide to go this route, do not not take any chances with safety. Make sure the equipment you are considering is checked out by a certified rigger. Riggers are trained to spot any kind of wear or defect that will affect the quality and safety of the equipment. Even after you have bought your equipment, you should make sure your parachute it is packed by a certified rigger; this is the only way you will be assured that it will open safely.

There are a lot of reasons to buy used equipment. Many people move up in a sport and want more or different features in their equipment. The original owner may be the type who has to have the latest and the greatest and even though his old equipment is just fine, he wants to get rid of it for new. Then, of course, there are the legions of people who buy all the equipment for a sport, try it out, and then either decide they don’t like it, or just never get around to doing it again. This can lead to great buys in jumpsuits, goggles, helmets and other items.

To avoid becoming one of the above and wasting a lot of money, you should consider buying used equipment until you know for sure that skydiving is the right sport for you. Many times that will work out to be cheaper than renting the equipment for a few jumps. You will be able to find out what is the best shape of chute, or size of suit that is best for you, without the major expense of new equipment.

A lot of new skydivers will choose a larger parachute that allows for a slower descent, but once they feel confident they want to move to something smaller that will allow a faster fall. As jumpers move through these various stages of expertise, their old equipment becomes available for sale.

Whether you decide to rent or buy used, it is a good idea to avoid spending too much money on a sport such as skydiving until you sure are going to be enjoying it for years to come.

WHAT DO I NEED TO GET STARTED? Give it a try at one of our events or come along to one of our ‘arrive and drive’ sessions at Hullavington Airfield, near Malmesbury every Friday and Monday evenings 6:30pm -11:00pm - it is always a good idea to ring and check. Also available to try at race meetings. A good Helmet, gloves, knee sliders and leathers are the best, but to start with a good, strong pair of jeans and jacket with an overall over the top.What is Motorcycle Roadracing? Motorcycle Roadracing is the best time you can have with your leathers on. Motorcycle Roadracing is better than drugs, sex, or money. This is good, since you need to give up all three to do it.

What safety equipment is required to race? One-piece or zip-together leathers in excellent condition (no holes, rips or tears); a full-face helmet with a 1995 or later Snell sticker inside or a BSI 6658-A or ECE 22-05 certification sticker on the shell, and which is in excellent condition; boots at least 8″” high; gloves in excellent condition; a back protector (either built into the leathers or separate) that consists of impact-resistant material and impact absorbing padding, and which covers the spine from the shoulders to below the wai.Holsters and the selection of a holster is an important decision for people serious about self defense. A good “”defensive”" type holster is as important as a good “”defensive”" handgun. You’ve invested a lot of money in your handgun, now it’s time to invest wisely in a good holster. Unfortunately many people buy a $500-$800 high quality defensive handgun and then carry it in a $39 “”one size fits all”" holster.

What type of leather do you use? Our leather is grade 2 premium American cowhide. It is good leather, durable and strong. It does take some oiling and “”breaking in”" as it is a little stiff when new. Usually oiling the underside of the stirrup leathers and fenders thoroughly, then placing a broomstick through the fenders or stirrups overnight makes it ready for that first ride.

Will my Leather stretch? Many leathers will have a little give to them with wear, but it’s not a good idea to count on them stretching a lot to get a comfortable fit.

Can you match my present office furniture color? Usually. Sometimes that is up to you. Don’t order a cherry desk if you have all mahogany wood or oak if you have walnut. If you look at our stains & leathers page you will most probably see a very close match. If not, pick up a MinWax stain chart at your local paint, stain, hardware or Sears store and see if any of those samples match. We can also use Sherwin Williams stains or Pratt & Lambert stains.A captain is an individual who commits to be part of the build from 7am to 9pm for the duration of the build or a good part of it.

Who Is A Captain? A captain is an individual who commits to be part of the build from 7am to 9pm for the duration of the build or a good part of it. Captains are assigned different areas of responsibility by our Site Supervisors from Leathers & Associates. If you are interested in being a captain, please email Linda Harding at . Captains will help their teams by assigning tasks, ensuring quality, and helping wherever necessary. This is a special job requiring much dedication.NAOT shoes and sandals are extremely well made for durability.

Police Vehicle Auctions vs Car Dealerships - Which is Best?

Tuesday 5 August 2008 @ 6:25 pm
by Doug Smith

There are advantages and disadvantages to purchasing a vehicle at a government or police auction instead of going to a car dealership. Many people don’t realize it, but the police seize thousands vehicles every month and in most cases auction them off to the general public at greatly reduced prices.

Obviously, police auctions are a secret that car dealerships don’t want you to know about. This is because not only is there one less potential customer looking to purchase a vehicle but there is also another bidder competing against him for the cars that are being auctioned.

So why does 90% of the general public buy from car dealerships? Well that’s a good question and I think it comes down to education. People are simply not aware or these government and police vehicle auctions. The government would be ridiculed is they spent money on advertising. Here is a list of advantages and disadvantages in buying at these auctions:

Pros:

- Business Methodology allows much lower prices.

- Police auctions are held everywhere in US and Canada.

- Detailed listings of vehicles at government and police auctions are now available on the Internet

- There is a large selection of vehicles that can be found at police auctions including: cars, jeeps, trucks, minivans, ATV’s and more!

- No middle tier channel (middleman) to go through or pay

- No commissioned salesperson to have to deal with

- Motivated seller who is not equipped to handle inventory, everything must go

- Better income tax advantage (can be set up as a business for resale to spouse, kids etc.)

- May pay less sales and new car tax

- Once you understand process you can do as a side business (i.e sale cars in Autotrader.com or eBay)

Cons:

- Most sales are made in cash so credit is typically not offered

- No warranty period beyond manufacturer warrenty, although most used dealerships only provide 30 days or so

So if you don’t mind paying cash, or have access to credit, then it’s obvious that the pros far out-weigh the cons in favour of government and police auctions. Just as with a used car dealership it is a good idea to bring someone with you who can inspect and determine the vehicles condition.

Running a Home Business Means it’s Working for You

Tuesday 5 August 2008 @ 12:12 pm
by Robert Eagle

Owning your own business is the American dream. Having that business be a home business makes that dream even sweeter. A home business ensures you do not have to pay for day care, travel, and commercial real estate rent.

Any kind of home business is a great idea but one that comes with a cost. Starting a business, whether in your home or outside, is not as simple as some think. However, the benefits rival any small problems that might come along.

People who want to start a home business find that the main benefit is the freedom of being your own boss. Many people think that this only pertains to those who have had bad experiences with their superiors in the past. This is not the case, as it is always better to work for yourself.

Doors that have previously been shut due to office politics are opened when working for yourself, which also guarantees control in decision-making. The self-employed no longer constantly has to prove themselves just to earn a small raise, they can earn what they deserve. Someone with their own personal agenda no longer will determine what you are worth.

A person has the opportunity to control the product or service rather than have their brilliant ideas dashed by superiors when they own their own home business. The business owner decides how much money they make with that control over product and service regulations. The owner also decides how much or how often they work.

At the beginning of a home business, the workweek will often be much more than a regular job. Once the business is established, though, the workweek could become much less than a regular nine-to-five job. Depending upon the product or service, the owner could be financially able to work whenever he or she wants.

Getting projects done is easier when there is no boss looming over your shoulder checking every detail of your work. The pace and choice of projects you work on is up to you. Petty work that takes up the time you could be working on something of more importance is often requested when working for others.

Running your own home business is not always fun. Frustratingly, it can be hard work to get a business to the point where it is running smoothly. However, the benefits of your labor will be seen personally instead of waiting for the annual review.

Many times in a business like day care, lawn care, or even website design, the worker who takes care of the product, the children, the lawn or the websites, sees only the immediate results. The praise often only goes to the owner of the company. The worker hardly ever hears what a great job they did until months later during a review.

Owning your own home business, you hear from the client immediately about the spectacular job you have done. The benefits of seeing the total results and hearing the praise from the client are not the only benefits of owning your own business. The compensation from the product or service comes directly to you rather than you only getting an hourly wage and the rest going to the owner of the company.

Many benefits are found in owning your own business. Just some of the benefits are being your own boss and controlling the product or service. These do tend to be the most rewarding of the benefits.

What is PMI? PMI, or Private Mortgage Insurance, is an insurance from a private company that is required on conforming loans where the borrower does not have a minimum of 20% equity in the home.

For example, 1 point on a $100,000 loan is $1,000 ($100,000 * 1%). The first point you pay is usually referred to as an origination fee. This is the compensation that the lender receives for originating (processing) your loan. Additional points are usually referred to as discount points. They are called this because you pay them to “”discount”" your interest rate.

Top Seven Insider SEO Tricks to Boost Your Website Rankings

Sunday 3 August 2008 @ 8:35 am
by Peter R. Doliaen

Gone are the days when you could get easy traffic from the search engines using doorway type pages, or even cheap clicks using PPC such as Google Adwords. The recent Google Slap has made it now fairly difficult to promote affiliate programs using Adwords. Even if you have your own website it now has to meet certain quality standards or the click price goes up rapidly.

The Google Slap, as it has been unofficially called, was the introduction of a new quality metric in the Awords system, the effect was that a lot of Adword users suddenly found that most of their keywords had become inactive overnight. The solution suggested by Google was to either improve the “quality” of the website you were advertising or increase the max cost per click that you were willing to pay. In some cases it was as much as $5 or $10 which many considered a slap in the face!

Many internet marketing people have given up on PPC as it is becoming too expensive and almost impossible to make money with. A better solution is to try and get more free organic traffic from the major search engines Google, Yahoo and MSN. These three account for 85-95% of the search traffic out there.

Most website can be improved in terms of SEO with a little work, if you have been neglecting your site over the last few years now would be a good time to do a make over. Here are some quick fixes that you can make:

1. There is a big issue with duplicate content on websites, never copy and paste content from other websites, it may look good but it will kill your website and more than likely get your site banned or pages de-indexed from the listings. If you have copied material from other sites replace it with some re-written text.

2. This is the other side of the coin to point one above; the search engines love original content. Write some original content for your website; I don’t care how you do it, just do it! Hire some students, ask a relative, pay your kids, subcontract a free lancer or even do it yourself because it will be worth it. Try and write at least 700 words on each page and use good descriptive keywords relevant to your business.

3. Search engines also hate affiliate links, and believe me they can find them pretty quickly. Not only do they make your site look cheap if they have not paid you a penny in years they are a waste of time, get ride of them. Another issue with affiliate links is that they can bleed page rank from your page and site. Why give away one of your most valuable assets?, see point 6 below for a fix.

4. Most websites have non profitable pages, or pages that are not expected to rank in the search engines. Examples are the site map, contact us, privacy policy and disclosures pages. It is a big mistake to link these pages from every page on your site, there are several problems. The extra linking will degrade the link reputation for the pages they are on making them less likley to rank for the page keywords. They will also again bleed rank from the important pages. It is only necessay to link these pages from the home page, visitors will easily find them there.

5. Two of the most important parts of each page is the title and description, and each page should have unique ones. This is very important for SEO and will improve your rankings. Many webmasters either make the mistake or just forget to fix them when creating new pages. Task yourself with checking every page in your site and take a little time to write new titles and descriptions, the search engines will love it.

6. Make use of the nofollow tag in links that connect your non money pages to your money pages. Pages like the privacy policy, contact us etc should be linked using this parameter. It will stop page rank from being wasted, it can also be used in affiliate links. See below for details:

Alter it to this by inserting rel=”nofollow” as shown below in the link

Click Here For Info

7. Back links to your site is still the number one factor in determining your search engine position. The best way to achieve this is by submitting well written and original articles to the top article directories. The article should be between 575 and 800 words in lenght and contain a resource box linking to your website. Modify your articles as much as possible when submitting to different directories to avoid duplicate content issues.
