http://thinkprogress.org/security/2012/10/10/985191/chaffetz-absolutely-funding-embassy-security/ Apparently funding IS an issue. Actual quote from Congressman trumps your 'opinion from Blaze' Funding did increase year over year, but all the funding requested was NOT in fact granted, which is also not unusual. http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2014/may/13/ronan-farrow/ronan-farrow-says-inadequate-security-funding-cong/ And you are correct, the new 'investigation' will likely focus on improving the future, and security policies, which means your hopes of the smoking gun Perry Mason ending are pretty much up in a puff of smoke on its own. I very much look to the future of ribbing you constantly about it.

sure...because Ron demonstrates the epitome of 'tolerance'.

Oh yes, and yesterday, the Zephyrhills Chamber of Commerce awarded Skydive City as the Small Business of the Year at their annual banquet.....not bad for an 'unpatriotic commie canadian transplant who disagrees with ron'.

I am pretty sure Cliff's business is not actually in operation. much. He is rumored to be running tandems out of Lake Wales. Last I heard his airplane needs some work. Have not actually spoken to him, but that is what some of his staff relayed to me. As far as SOCOM goes, yes, despite your efforts, they have expanded their presence here with a new building and several new team members, many demos, and we regularly host special forces training Glad you are out of the DZ loop actually, I could see little benefit in having you here.....

Disagree with Ron and you are neither 'Patriotic', nor 'American'. got it.
-
I was introduced to him here at Skydive City maybe 7 years ago, he was a friend of the Dellibac's actually. passing through flying his helicopter or something like that. Had a house and airport south of Lake Wales, and he certainly did not appear to be that old.

thank you for making our case and out point.

you are not praying for the leaders of our nation. You directly advocate and work towards their destruction while supporting others. Which reflects on 'your god' and your warped belief in it. As well the attempt some time ago that you directly made to go after me and mine - which also reflects on your warped belief structure and will continue to be the main reason why I will always have disdain for you, for your beliefs and for others that share your beliefs. You sir, are what is wrong with this country, not the administration. People who act based on flawed beliefs, not based in reality, or who act on their faith alone, are exactly the same as ISIS, ISIL, Al-Qaeda, and the others that you think we should 'destroy'. You are EXACTLY like them.
-
So much for you posting 'news clips'..... thanks for making my point. You have zero evidence, zero facts to support your claim, zero investigations that have nor ever will find any evidence to support your claim. But yes, on your dying bed you will continue to believe.....because you belief structure is flawed at best.

I would that MSNBC is not really in the same league as Fox News. How did Fox compare to CBS? ABC? NBC? MSNBC is pretty small in comparison
-
sure, and when Trey finds nothing, then they will set up another investigation and when that one finds nothing they will set up another one, and so on and so on... and even after all that, on your dying day, when no one could find ANYTHING to pin on the administration regarding Benghazi, you sir will still be ranting about it....which does not actually say much about you....
-
except that pretty much everything Bill Whittle alleges or states as 'fact' is not, or has already been addressed in previous investigations and reports, mostly written by REPUBLICANS, and finding no wrongdoing whatsoever. nothing new there - just the same old RonD-like rhetoric. The kind of Philistine pig-ignorance I would expect from hate-filled people claiming to be patriotic Americans.

What happens after a collision?

Rob had some sort of property liability like homeowners or renters, and that was the money that Gerry Dyck got. The insurance company paid it. -
safe reserve wing loading
tkhayes replied to coolskydiverguy's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
that is the scenario I like to relate to people. Save a bunch of money by not buying an AAD, at least depending on the size of your reserve. Because the AAD is designed for the unconscious or incapacitated scenario. Landing your reserve, brakes set, no flare, possibly downwind. Now as k yourself again about what size reserve YOU want to have. -
And our governor Rick Scott is probably going to appeal the recent similar decision in Florida. And that of course after courts shot down his welfare drug testing, his state worker drug testing, his attempted voter purge....and he is still in the lead to get re-elected as Governor of Florida in November.

Feds Punish Business For Engaging In ‘Citizenship-Discrimination’
tkhayes replied to wayneflorida's topic in Speakers Corner
http://www.uscis.gov/n-400 I don't know about several thousand dollars. According to the form itself, $595 plus biometrics, which still makes is about $700. I have no idea why anyone would need a lawyer to fill out a simple application for naturalization unless you fall into some funky category. Mine cost $400 several year ago so obviously the price went up. If you have had a permanent resident card for 10 years, then you pretty much qualify. Fill out the form and send it in with payment. Did mine myself with relative ease. There is nothing on the application that requires an attorney that I could see. And they offer you and send you all the study materials for the history stuff, including a CD you could listen to int he car and practice the questions. Not only was it well laid out, it was fairly educational too. They contact you to schedule an appointment, you do that - it took 2 hours out of my day given that almost everything now is done by appt and not just standing in line, and they scheduled the ceremony right there. Getting permanent residency was by far, an order of magnitude more difficult. Citizenship was a piece of cake once I had 'done the time' -
Another Death Row inmate cleared (after 30 years)

define competent. There are many many dead competent people. This is a flight for hire. This is not a recreational activity solely for the enjoyment of the tandem instructor. Pilots in all disciplines of flight (except skydiving) are taught strict procedures, never to be deviated from, especially if you want to pass the check-ride.. SOPs, POHs. And the best professional pilots are checklist oriented systems managers. They manage the flight from start to finish, executing it according to a standard protocol. Skydiving could learn a thing or two from an average flight school. As least we seem to be more headed in that direction. there is some hope. Defending poor behaviors does nothing for our sport, nothing for our profession either, and certain nothing for you. Glad that everyone walked away from this, it could have been a disaster with a tenth of a second difference.

re-read everything that Bryan Burke and Brian Germain and PD and others have written about canopy flight. Turns are dangerous, the fewer turns you do, the safer it is. There is no such thing as a safe hook turn and there is never a need for a 180 hook to final on a tandem jump. Tandem passengers are paying for and they expect to receive a fun ride, yes, but a safe ride mostly. If you were a passenger in a passenger jet and the pilot decided to hook it into another airplane, you would consider that negligent and dangerous and you would wonder what you were getting for your money. BE a professional. Fly like a professional, be ahead of the game. Like the FAA and the tandem manufacturers and USPA do not have enough issues with skydiving already.

Teen Girls Kidnapped, Raped By Gang Of 9 Racist Thugs
tkhayes replied to CameraNewbie's topic in Speakers Corner
http://www2.cookcountysheriff.org/search2/details.asp?jailnumber=2013-1106210 Aggravated Bodily Assault, held with no bond. Do not see kidnapping charges there.... again, a horrible crime. Even stated factually with nothing but the facts. Turn it into 'racist thugs kidnapping'? I will tune you out in a second. -
Teen Girls Kidnapped, Raped By Gang Of 9 Racist Thugs
tkhayes replied to CameraNewbie's topic in Speakers Corner
does not appear that any of the charges sound like these girls were kidnapped - even though yes AFTER they got in the van willingly, they were held. So the original headline from the 'right wing I hate niggers but am too afraid to say it' website seems to be stretching it maybe just a tad. drunk teenagers got into a van. they got drunker and high. they got raped, yes it is awful. Sounds like the people that are blamed for that are in the system being prosecuted as they should. I do not see any attempt anywhere to make this racist except by a conservative white site nor did I see anyone trying to make the victims out to be anything other than victims. And the story is approaching a year old. try again. -
