Vladimir Putin is no longer at the reigns of the USSR. Now wh have some clown at the wheel of the country who obviously took notes from Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday who have done just about anything they wanted for almost the last 6 years, I see further invasions of Syria, and who knows where it will stop. I feel they are moving in for a logistic aquizition. Nothing that happens will suprise me....nothing. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Bernie, i watched your television series when i could, your scripts made me smile and laugh. I especially liked your monologue at the end of the show. Now, you "Broke on through to the other side" I'll just bet you keeping the angels in stitches. Your life touched so many. You are gone now, but not forgotton. God bless your soul, and R.I.P. I'll see you when i get there! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

I couldn't disagree with this statemen more. in fact it's bordinline ludicrous.. How will tunnel time help a new sky diver over come fear, reiticnecy to breath? Not to mention you do not have your rig on your back, which you shouldn't. So the air stream your feeling isn't at all waht you'd be experiencieng through actual free fall. Do me a favor, humou an old man. Next time you exit, just watch the plane fly away on the prot side wing tip on the pilots side, then just fall into the slip stream. I must give Chris Miller SDSL, a wonderful and telented Dive Master Chris Miller At SDSL, "Do a prop exit, and watch the plane fly away and enjouy you canopy ride. When i did my grauduation Hop-N-Pop at SDSL, Chris had a tandem passenger, and could't be with me, best Hop-N-Pop I've ever had! Thanks Chris! Not him brin there, but knoening wss om my own and relying on my own skill taught to mr by my Excekkent sjyu=ive Thank you, you know who your re, These two professiomal sky master diving masters, I leaned andlearned wekk. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

You obviousily didn't read my whole post, i prempted it by saying just because i do it this way don't mean for you to do it this way. As i said, i own 4 rigs, i know them like i know the back of my hand, i know their tendencies. I've never had a problem finding my handles, and i never have (And Wont) throw my fucking handles away. If you want to instruct others (Student & Low Timers Aside) to spend valuable time dicking around looking for their handles, that's cool with me, i ain't doing it. This is a joke right? So basically what your saying is don't do anything until you see the handles? What if you can't find them until 400-500 AGL, with no AAD? I kmow, don't do nothing until you see your handles. Biggest bunch of crap i've ever heard. They've never not been there. I didn;t say i spend time looking for them, what i did say how ever, is that i stil do at least 2-3 PHT's on every dive. I've forgotten my altimeter before, guess i should have rode the plane down, but i paid for that jump, and i made it. I also forgot to turn on my AAD, i know, i should have truned it on in the plane!

# 1 & # 2 are allright. # 3, is incorrect. If you wait until 500' AGL or until your stable, you'll be in a bind. "Pull at you assigned altitude, stable or not." -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

I'm not instructing anyone to do as i do. But i DO NOT spend time looking for my handles, (It's my rig(s) i know where they ara ALL the time) and i don't throw the damn handles away either. I do how ever still do 2 or 3 PHT in freefall, becuase your handles are on you main lift web, not on your jump suit, so they're not going to on your jump suit. they're going to be riding a little higher. Sometimes when your under canopy SSS., Enjoying the view, look and see where your shoulder straps, chest strap, RSL (If you have one) Look and see where these handles are, and where they're at with your body weight on the main lift web. Check it out, you'll see what i mean. How ever, if you think this will make you uncomfortable, don't do it. Just because it worked for me, doesn't mean it will work for you. I have a suit that would fit you with swoop cords which would allow you much more control over your fall rate Also, entertain the idea of doing some intentional cut-aways, they are a great learning tool for students. (I have a cut-away rig, and i do lease it out, pm me if you feel you can make use of it.) Good Luck! Take caer, Be Safe. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

2 1/2 years in the sport i lost a friend, stupid accident, his fault. the next 2 months 2 more, don't even want to discuss the incidents, I almost sold my equipment and quit, but i just couldn't. I've also lost 3 more to natural causes.

Well............. Bye............ -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

You mean like a Minister? Or a layman? Or are you referring to a person who just simple tries to share their beliefs with others? It was your parents Christian Responseability to ensure you attended church and would have the opportunity to hear the word of God. "Faith cometh by hearing, hearing by the word of God" Good as any excuse i can think of. Your creator and supreme being loves you very much. Share it! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

If this is the way it is, it won't be long before this young knave is riding the pine in the local County Pokee for Contempt Of Court. Anymore the sitting Judge will give them 30 days to get something going, because let's face it, the non custodial parent can't pay if they can't make money, now can they? I also want to take this opportunity to tell all of the custodial mothers out there that haven't been paid child support in a month, year or 5 years, resists the temtation to hire one of the T.V. lawyers. You don't really think they're doinf that for free, do you. Simply file a Contempt Of Court Charge, and let the judicial process work. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Money has nothing to do with this one, in fact it's going to costs money to get it done. Perhaps the non custodial parent feels like he/her didn't get the alotted visitation time in the original divorcee decree and wanted to "Modify The Original Divorce Decree" Which is either of the divorced parents rights. This would certainly not lower his/her payments. Now on the other hand if the non custodial parent is a habitual drugee, or alcholic and because of erratic behaviour poses a health risks, or physical risks, then if they are ordered to pay, and don't get visitation rights, tough shit. Pay, or go to jail. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

***He is still the children's father, and his concern should be for their welfare. Cutting off their support because he is refused visitation shows clearly where his concern lies[/quote.] RL: What a statement for such a learned legal mind. It is indeed predudiced and most rhetorical. The Final Divorce Decree is just that, the FINAL DIVORCE DECREE. Whether the non custodial parent pays or not, this is not sufficient circumstances for refusal of visitation, you know that. In fact, it's quite the opposite, it's called "Contempt Of Court" On the custodial parent's behalf, and you know that. So why ever would you let such words come out of your mouth? I'm shocked! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Wrong. The reason it's structured like that is because the women all get on AFDC as quick as they can, swear to God they've never recieved a dime, and then when you go to Court, the Judge will tell you, "Well son, it's easier for me to get the money out of you than her." So they put you on probation, cut you loose and tell you if you have to get 10 jobs to catch up the arrears and get current, then by all means, get at it. I do not condone these ideals, i do not agree with AFDC being tax free, i do not condone the custodial parent being the only parent who can declare the children a tax deduction either. Play your cards right, 99% of divorcing women have no money for Legal Council, therefore they have it written in the filing of the original divorce decree that the male should pay for all of her lawyer bills and expenses. Simply file a motion that she pay her's, and you pay your's, and she's done in. NOW, it's her that has to pay Legal Council to get YOU to pay. In fact 99% of the laywers will quit that case, or "Continue It To Death" Another point: Whom ever (The male, or female in the relationship) takes any possessions, real or personal, those items belong to the man or woman that took them before the divorce was filed, until the Final Divorce Decree has been handed down from the court. That's the reason the women aleays leave on the "sneak" when they know your out of town, etc...File a restraining order ASAP and as often as possible. As far as it causing the father to have to caugh up a bunch of money to retain a lawyer, YOU FILE FIRST. Then ask the court to have her pay your laywer bills, that's a kick! All these little BS tricks available to the mothers, are available to the fathers as well, the fathers just dont know about them. Note: NEVER MAKE A CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENT IN CASH....NEVER -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

A non custodial parent, whether paying child support or not is still obligated under the family law code to pay child support. Most women don't know the family laws Having said that, if the mother is the custodial parent, and is, or is not recievieng child support money DOES NOT give her the right to be in Contempt Of Court, refuse to let the father have his visitation rights. But for clarification; Anything in the Final Divorce Decree are not only the judges decision, it's now become the law(s) you both must follow. Breaking ANY rule in the Final Divorce Decree is Contempt Of Court. The sad thing about Family law, let's face it, it's only the children who get hurt, not the parents, they're too busy being vindictive. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

I said, nor did i infer any such thing. I simply quoted the law from a family law book in my library. Please do not put words in my mouth. Thanks. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

"This is a Smith & Wesson 44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun known to man. One shot from this pistol and it will blow you head Clean Off!" "I know what your thinking punk. But to tell you the truth, in all of the confusion i, ah kinda lost track my self. So you have to ask yourself punk, "Do i feel lucky", well do you punk? Do you feel lucky?

C'mon guys, this is nonsense. Both of you have been in this sport long enough to put ideas in other's, whom may not know any better. You may unwittingly cause someone else into pulling this nonsensacal BS. How would that sit with you? Cut it out. If it's a pissing contest ya want, have it some where else. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Your entitled to your opinion as well as these religious people have the freedom of speach. Just because i don't believe in what your thoughts are, or what your views are on anything, i would fight to the death your right to make plain your views and ideas. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

It sounds to me like some pores got closed up on the skin around the swelling "tumor" I had one on my back for ever until i couldn't stand the pain anymore, then i had it removed day surgery in my family Dr's office. They sent it to the lab it came back negative. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Family Law Statutes in the State of Texas leaves him or her no choice, Unless he signs them over to the mother with an agreement that he not pay. Other than that, he's done. In the state of Texas, being one day late, a week late, being late at all with a child support payment is a felonious charge of "Failure to provide financial assitance" Let's say your 5 payments, late or behind, or the amount is more than $5,000.00 All you Ex has to do is sick the AG's office on you, you will have a bench warrant placed on you with no possibility of bail. (In some instances) So, we get back to "Pay, or not to Pay" Looks to me like you would be doing your self a service by paying, continue working and keep felonious records off of your sheet. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

I'm hoping your making this remark in jest. Don't ever cut away a good canopy, unless you have a chest mount reserve. (3 canopies) -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
