  1. Man, I hope I don't have to find another lawn guy cause of this Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  2. No. PSB# 20031203 /12.03.2003 / Skyhook RSL Inspection I've seen it work in a "real world" cutaway and it's a magical thing to watch. But, 1) it is not meant as a replacement for good-decision-making and 2) I agree with Ron. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  3. And herein lies the problem..... "Flippant" or a focal instrument about fundamentals. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  4. 30#s That's quite a feat. How'd you do that? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  5. I'm in. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  6. Have to agree with John here. I would encourage more manufacturer spec information in this forum. I know Bill has discussed the sSkyHook and other things in here and that type of information is always welcomed.

  7. Lowe's 3" swivel casters $3.95 Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  8. Read it this morning and had the same thoughts. There wasn't even anything about the police approaching him, asking any questions, if he made any threatening gestures or comments, etc. Course, as you point out, this has to be about the most flagrant attempt at reporting something first; rather than providing any information. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  9. My initial instincts are to say, "No." The RSl just pulling the reserve cable. I would be more inclined to think the skydiver was probably legs out kicking, de-arched and/or turning while performing EP's, thereby resulting in the line twists. I'll let others weigh in with their opinion. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  10. I doubt it. Imagine the number of lawsuits in the U.S. from a bad date? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  11. 1001' Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  12. Make sure to give the bourbon to the rigger AFTER BEFORE s/he repacks the reserve, or the next pack might not be so good... Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

  15. While there are not enough details in the article, it does mention she graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Assuming she passed the bar there, she may have thought she was covered by http://www.lawschool.com/cabarchange.htm And, considering the constant state of flux California has regarding reciprocity, may have thought she had reciprocity?

  16. You talking about the canopy or the person flying the plane? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  17. Use as much or as little as you like. I've taken bits and pieces from others to develop my own method and continue to learn other things to incorporate into my style. Thanks to all those I've learned from. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  18. There are times that I've had some difficulty reading the student to find out if they want to talk on the way up... So, at the end of training, I tell them, "We'll talk on the way up. If you don't want to talk, feel free to tell me and I'll shut up and take a nap ." And, I've had that backfire... I took an older lady up on the last dive of the day. She had paid for all the grandchildren to jump and she was last. On the way up, I tried talking and she said she was just going to enjoy the view... Just about to doze off and she reaches over and pats me on the leg, "Hey! Are you going to be alright?!?!??" "Yes, Ma'am, why?" Well, you looked like you were going to sleep!" Yes, Ma'am, I was." "Well, how can you be going to sleep when we're about to jump?!?!" We wound up talking the rest of the ride up. I still crack up about that... thinking I had nailed how to determine whether they wanted to talk or not. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  19. Very powerful. I like it. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  20. Oh sure, take the easy way. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  21. A previous thread regarding the prevention of panic in tandem students prompts the following method I’ve come to use to reduce anxiety in students. It takes five minutes before starting the formal training and seems to help. Since beginning to use this, the feedback I’ve received from students has predominately been, “It’s just like you said it was going to be.” I’m not saying that this is “the” way, but offer it up for others to “test” with students and to encourage fellow TI’s to share their way. Perhaps a buffet of ways would allow new TI’s to pick and choose a little from each technique to develop their own method of relaxing tandem students. Addressing the students: OK. Your turn to share.

  22. You mentioned "new computer." http://www.azpolonia.com/polishfonts.php?azplg=en Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    My mom rocks.

    Did she offer the return trip too? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  24. And Keith is buying all the slots Okie Dokie. I haven't been the only man on the plane and patted on the butt by 25 women since winning the raffle for the TeXXas Pink Patch dive. Oh the horror... all those women making me walk up and down the aisle while patting my butt. It was brutal and degrading, I tells ya. So when's the next one!??!?!

  25. Nope. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
