Your futile effort to "bait" me into a PA on the forums doesn't become you, well maybe it's just built into your charachter. If you think for a moment, i won't tear you a new one in the forums, your wrong. WYFM. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Odd, i don't recall anyone solicitating your opinion about anything, anytime. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Yeah, that's going to happen. For the record, i've always voted straight Republican tickets, this year i'm voting for myself in the "Write In Candidate" Section. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

CNN is supposed to be airing the VP debate, instaead, John McCain comes out before anything else gets started and starts blaming things that are happening now, to things that triggeres it in 1930's. This guy just lost me. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Experiment by tading a slider out, install something diffrent ie: size, style,something. If that freaking slider is coming down that fast, something's jacked up. I've had to figit a bit with sliders in the past. Are your lines in trim, canopy sound? It also appears you may not be stable at deployment. What size / mfg pc are you using? Do you think it could be Line Dump? Good Luck. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Man, This thread has taken on a life all of its own. Unbelieveble. Ah well, what the hell? Regarding the memory stick, mini 8, CD or any other recording device that captures images of any incident at A DZ is obligated to turn the medium over. This of course could depend on state staturator laws. If you do have it, it generaly ends up on you.tubem or MySpace. If you get busted, your looking at at least a Class B Misdeameanor, and possibly prosecution for obstruction of justice I''m NOT SAYING this will happen. What i'm saying is it could, may and / or will happen. So if you've signed the waiver at your DZ, don't jeprodize the DZ, or his / her buisness by doing something selfish and childish. Worst case scenario, they make a copy of it, turn it over to the Law Enforcement Officials, then you get it back. Is that so bad? I think not. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

I guess this all boils down to is what is written in your DZ contract regarding the chain of custody of any footage of a 'CRIME SCENE" The thing the DZO might want to keep in mind is misc, personal just "Hanging Around" drinkig beer while they watch their kids do their tandem, AFF, Static line etc.. The contract i signed says basically "Hand It Over" I discussed this with the S$TA, he advised me what all of that clause entailed, after the discussion, i clearly inserstood, signed my waivers with no problem. In 1963 when JFK was assinated, do you think John Zapruder gave that film up willingly? I think not, he knew what the value of the footage, but in the end he was given no choice, he gave it uo, right along with about 100 other people that police observed shooting stills. It's one of those things a lot of people may think it's slightly communistic, it is what it is. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

At my DZ, i was doing the paperwork as usual. Then i got to a clause i'd NEVER seen before. There was a amendment in the contract that if you (Me) catch aything wiierd ontape, theyhave the rigt to immediately take possession of your memory stick and your tape. End of deal. It leaves no room for arguement. If i decide i don't like those rules and the S&TA (Whom i have a great deal and respect for) for enforcing the rulses, it's my perogative to go somewhere else. It is what it is. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Hello: I gotta back Dave on this one. Before changing out altenators. After removal of the altenaror, when you go to O'Rieleys's of Napa, or whom ever, get them to "Bench Tesst It" That way it will either eliminate, or solidify you suspesion. Check Your Fusable Link as well. Good Luck. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Jim: That's Great News. SDSL deserves every break it gets. SDSM is my Home DZ now. The new DZO is really makiing somr very expensive changes. We're going to wind up with yet another premier DZ in Texas. Ya'll come visit soon. Blue Skies, Hot Days! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Yo...Bro: All these people can posts all the sentimental posts they wish for you, and what they think you should & shouldn't do. And 99% of them are right. That has nothing to do with what i'm fixing to offer you. This is the time of "Self Examanation" this is what you YOU are reaponseable for, no one else here, no one. I'm not going to give you my opinion, because it mirrors so much of the preceding posts, and it's prety much the same as theirs. And i won't comisserate with you. I'm a Drilling Engineer, my work carries me around the world, literally so I am the "First Line Of Defence" and a First responder, wheher it be fire, man down or any other mehanical failure. Most og the time i have 50-150 souls on board i have to account for all of the time, 00% of the tme. If we ever have to evacuatte the rig, i'm the last man off, this is the waym of it, why doesn't matter. I consider myself culturley diverse, i can't think of any ethnicitity, or someoe whom choses an alternaive lifestly. What i do know is that you YOU ar the only one who can ultimately has to make this decision. I will say this, if i were he DZO or the S&TA, you would not fly my DZ, 3 corner pattern or not. Something else i know is i don't know you, but i know your are a part of "OUR" family, a familiy who cares about the SkyDiving Community as a whole and abroad. I wll close in saying only "Follow You Hewart" and do what you are trained to do, and not what your not trained for. Good Luck, Take Care, Eyes Shut, Ears open for a while God Bless. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Oldest trick i the book. "Let's jerk the new guy around. Haveing said that, have you not learned the fine art of spotting yet? I believe i'd find another DZ where the exerienced jumpers cared for the new jumpers a lot more than these folks seem to. I don'tkow with 14 jumps you should have even been on that aircraft giving you experiemnce lebel. The odd thing here is you made it back, and some of the "Up Jumpesr" did not. Serves their ass right for mot helpimg you out. . Learn to spot for yurself, observe where others are exiting the aircraft, they are using visual pionts on the ground, learn what they are, and use them for youself don''t turst ayone, Learn to spot for youself and be done with it. End Deal. Best of luck mate. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Your post perplexes me a great degreel. Your profile tells us nothing as to who you are. You just registered yesterday, And your already whining about clicks at DZ's? When, or if you visit a DZ, do you go there to sky dive or listen to rhetoric and inuendos. Talk is just that, talk. So WHAT? -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Never. In fact i hate the ride up, i can't wait to jump out. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Should your canopy hit the ground before you do, you'll be in a world of hurt, if you live. I've seen this before, it's ugly. Why do you think this is? Books are allright, but some books, and a couple of canopy courses is one better. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Did you ask her to marry you, and if so was the answer yes. It your answr iwas YES" and he presened you with an engadgement ring, living together, or presenting yourselves at social gatherings as either engadged, or with an intention of getting married, then yes, it's legally binding. Amy other verbal commitments, or promises, or commitments you have made during the perspective engadgement are legally binding. A verbal contract is just as binding as a legal "Word Of Agreemen, of Contract" Your best bet iis if you can come to some kind of legal agreement now, don't wait., unless you want to call everything off, and continue your relationship with the original intentions of nuptials. I'd say right now, she's entitled to 1/2 of everything you have before you were a "One, shoud things NOT go her way. (She would be required to return every piece of jewelry) you gave her during the active engadgement period, unless the kudge in you county considers that a gift.. One more thing, if you did not agree to any of these things, verbally or otherwisw and can prove it, she's done, and there's no paper trail, you may get around it. One other thing in your favor:If there are no binding agreements, or promises and you don't have a joint checking account, you may get by it like that*** One thing's for sure Do Not Lie To Your attorney (Client/P.C. Confidential clause) But if you do lie to him, he will drop you like an anvil in the Atlantic. Make sure if it goes this far, provide any documents you and her have a copy of, and do not destroy any documents. I'm not saying you would, but just in case. When, and if you have to file against her, do so. DO NOT let her file first whatever you do. Any other questions, do not hesitate to call on me.

Regardless of what has been written, it is your right and responseability to carry a firearm. But you are not to discharge unlessm, Your trained to make that decision. Guns don't kill people, people do. So what's the worry? This problem will never go away, guns are plentiful and easy to obtain. So to not have one, and be trained by a professionl, train to use it and get your locense id sbdurd and irresponseable. Am I My Brothers Keeper, (YES!

You fucking A twiddy. One of the biggest mistakes i've ever witnesed, short of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday being elected. (Yeah, Yeah, i know i voted for every Republican since i was of voting age. I'm starting to question my own sense of judgement. In the history of the USA, this is the first time since Pearl Harbor we're made to look like imbiciles in the eyes of the world's other countries. How lonf before we're the on being attacked? I just saw on the news that twe members of the american men's volleyball team. One female, one male, the male was killed, the female is in critical and guarded condition. We should have never went there, there will be MOTS. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
