windofchange Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Well, there's no need to do any changes to the rules at all...cuz She's HERE! If you was waiting till the last minute then you waited to long. We're figuring out the winners right now and as soon as we have them all set I will let everyone know the time, date, and the lucky new kite flyers! Should be a little later today. Mom and baby are doing wonderful, they're both fully healthy and my life couldn't be better. Here's a small pic that I took with my phone so the quality isn't that great. I will have more pictures when I get my camera back. Thank you everyone from the bottom of my heart for participating in this contest. I am happy that we are going to be able to get these kites out for Christmas. Watch for the winners!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windofchange Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I would like to extend a special thank you to John B for giving me the opportunity to share this contest with all of the Kitelife Forum users. Without his permission and help this contest would not have been possible. I would also like to thank all the participants for making this contest fun for everyone. I had a wonderful time running the contest and hope that all of you had a fun time being in it. As said earlier, Joni arrived 100% healthy and strong. How healthy? 8 lbs, 8 oz healthy Mountain View hospital put down the official time of birth at 7:31 AM, December 9th 2007. SOOOOOO, I get to dance around with glee knowing that I have a beautiful new daughter and as said, instead of handing out cigars.....LETS HAND OUT SOME KITES! I used a very complicated method of calculating the times (I counted the hours on the clock from the time of birth to the closest guesses to that time) and this is what I have come up with. 5TH Place winner of the awesome Nighthawk kite from Premier.... MtnFlyer with a guess of Dec 11th, 10:00 am. Missed the exact time by 50 hrs, 29 minutes. 4TH Place winner of the Silver Fox 2.3 from Flying Wings.... Dwayne with a guess of Dec 7th, 9:00 am. Missed the exact time by 46 hrs, 31 minutes. 3RD Place winner of the beautiful Zephyr from Prism Kites.... Kite Dog with a guess of Dec 10th, 1:00 pm. Missed the exact time by 29 hrs, 29 minutes. 2ND Place winner of the coveted Barassi B-Series Revolution Kite Package.... Big Bri with a guess of Dec 10th, 10:45 am. Missed the exact time by 27 hrs, 14 minutes. And the GRAND PRIZE winner of the beautiful Widow Maker from Skyburner Kites is.......... Mikenchico with a guess of Dec 8th, 5:15pm. Missed the exact time by only 14 hrs, 16 minutes. Toyguy missed getting in at 5th place by only 1 hr and 22 minutes. The next closest was Belar at 76 hours 39 minutes. Close one for sure! Toyguy was also the first one to post a guess, that's kinda impressive. Now for the bonus Jumping Jack Flash to our subscribing winner! Mikenchico is not (yet) a subscriber so although you won the big prize, you don't get the bonus. Next in line is Big Bri....you won the cool b-series but you are not a subscriber either (yet) so no bonus kite for you. Kite Dog is third in line with an awesome Zephyr....and yes, he is a subscriber and also the winner of the Jumping Jack Flash! Congrats Kite Dog!!! See, it pays to subscribe. Not only would it have won you the bonus kite in this contest but you are also automatically entered into the Kitelife contests as well. If you have not yet done so, please become a subscriber for Kitelife. Not just for the contests but it also helps cover the many costs involved with publication of the Kitelife magazine as well as time and server expenses associated with running this great forum and the incredible Kitelife site.

Congratulations to all of the winners of this contest and again a big thank you from my family to everyone for participating and allowing me to share my joy and excitement with all of you.

Baloo Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I demand a recount. She was too early. Can you please put her back in and let her try again. As soon as I thought of this it remended me of my crew mate from the Ambulance Service. I stopped the Ambulance one night to help him help a lady to deliver her little Girl. As I was getting in I saw her with her hands between her legs. He said gently "it's no good my lovely, you wont push it back in" all went welland we carried on to Hospital. Kent I am SO glad all went well for all 3 of you. And thank you SO much for the fun of this competition. And also thank you in a strange way (due to the silly working of my mind) for reminding me of my crew mate. A big CONGRATULATIONS to your family and all the lucky winners.

Hedgewarden Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Hey, wait a goll-darn minute here! My time was just 6 hrs 54 minutes post-partum. I guessed girl, 7 lb 8 oz. I think I get something really swell too Oh - wait - that was my posting time, not my selected time It would have been creepy to win with a post entered after the blessed event. And weight was off by a pound. We'll have to see about medical researcher, and soccer star prediction. So, another congratulations to your family. And thanks very much for the contest - a wonderfully creative way to share your blessing with friends.

Late enough after Thanksgiving and early enough for Mom to enjoy Christmas. Just wonderful!!!!! For my family, in 16 days we go in for the first ultra-sound and we can't wait to find out the baby's gender! My wife is hoping for a daughter this time. Again, congratulations on the baby!
