Re: Oh, je Puh, kann mich gar nicht mehr so genau erinnern, wie das war. Ist schon eine Weile her ;-) Wir haben ihn aber eigentlich ganz gut wieder aus dem Baum rausgepfriemelt. War gar nicht so schlimm, wie es aussieht.
The Ultimate Tourist My name is Jennie and i would just like to inform you that there now is a webpage called http://theultimatetourist.com, where tourists around the world finally can get some use out of all the photos they have, posing by different tourist attractions.
Here you can choose from over one hundred attractions and typical touristic activities, upload your photos and collect one tourist point for each photo. Reach different levels and everybody over 80 points will become Ultimate Tourists (Remember you have to be in the photos yourself, to prove you were actually there.. :).
So if you want to compete with your photos, or just spread the word, go into theultimatetourist.com
Swedes are dominating the top 20-list for the moment. Challenge them!
I came across your blog by accident, but I really enjoyed your post. I thought the study done on Buddhism and psychology was really interesting, and the photos of those wedding desserts made me really want to eat cake! My blog is looking for travel photos, reviews, etc, to share. If you have the time, check it out at dirty-hippies.blogspot.com, or email me at dirtyhippiesblog@gmail.com. If you find anything interesting to share during your time in Australia, we welcome all contributions from fellow travelers! Have a good trip!

Re: How about the logos discussion? I could not completely follow the discussion about the logos because I had some other things to do, so I don't know what the result was. I'll try to find out.
Many of the competitors thought that the rule concerning the Japanese pilot who was not allowed to participate in the comp is not a good one because it hinders pilots from participating in a comp. So on the one hand, it is always said that there are too few (female) pilots that fly comps, but on the other hand, there are obstacles put in their way that make it too difficult for them. Therefore, some competitors thought that the rules were too rigid or inflexible.
There is no drug testing, and there won't be any. At least it hasn't been announced.
How about the logos discussion? Was there some understanding/resolution of that?
How did the competitors feel about the CIVL rules?
Any drug testing going on?
Re: No what came out of the discussion? We did not really find out where the money went. It was more a general discussion on how far sponsoring should go. I'll post your links in my next story, thanks, Davis.
No what came out of the discussion? How much money from adidas? Where did it go?
Logos? What came of that discussion?
BTW discussion was held here: http://ozreport.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19940, http://ozreport.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19929, and here: http://ozreport.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19942
I started this blog in late 2007, before heading off to Australia for a hang gliding adventure. After my first solo flight in a hang glider all I wanted to do was fly as much as possible. I gave up my job as a human resources consultant and headed to Australia to live my dream of hang gliding. When I returned after four months, I wanted to build my life around the sport I loved so much, and I did. I was also determined to make it into the national hang gliding team and started flying competitions with only one year of flying experience.
My dream was shattered in earl... full info
