Until she dies or abdicates (relinquishes her throne) when it will pass to Charles, being her eldest son. Vicki Is this true? I am English (or was) and I always thought that a divorced male could not become head of The Church of England, and therefore not become King (which also carries the title Defender of the Faith). Isn't the succession straight down to the eldest son of the Charles/Dianna alliance. ps: I really don't care which of the inbred idiots gets the crown........

Chris, I'm doing this for you brother....... I have been 100% wrong on EVERY prediction throughout the playoffs. So, I'm picking the Pats (There - you're assured of a victory now) ps: Just watched Earth Wind and Fire and The Black Eyed Peas on stage together, I may have just died and gone to heaven - but Paul McCartney at Half Time - did we just plain run out of talent to hire????????????

I found a picture of the "pulley System" which we currently produce at Jump Shack for adjustable Main Lift Webs. These are for tactical and student rigs primarily. I couldn't find a picture of the system that John designated for round parachutes only, but you can find one on the Sunpath website in relation to their bulletin.

When I worked for my buddy Dene, the nearest lunch spot was a Subway, and it was just after that Jared dude was schilling for them as a weight loss lunch. I'd see these mountainous people lining up to get their 6" lean turkey sub on whole wheat bread, with a huge bag of chips and a 48 oz soda (guess you gotta wash it down with something eh) Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

I just left the 7-11 (where I got my Black Forest Ham, deli sandwich mmmm) and the guy ahead of me at the cashier had a huge hotdog with everything on it, a pile'o'nachos dripping in hot cheese sauce and a 64 oz Dr. Pepper. Just after the cashier made his change, he leans over and grabs a banana. A healthy dessert you think????????

no - because if they were meant to be something else, they would be. They all choose their own path (and hopefully learn the lessons) Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

That's not really my field, (but as that's never stopped me before) however, I would think that the passenger harness has enough attachment points that the opening shock would be deflected from the adjustment hardware. The Racer Tandem harness is not adjustable. The only other tandem rigs that I have experience with use a different adjuster (thread through) not spring loaded friction grip, but I have never looked at the others on the market. That's an interesting thought....... Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

Not quite. The older style had the lift web going through a friction adapter at the bottom of the MLW and coming back up. You shortened the MLW by pulling up and released it just like a leg strap. The newer design works like a pulley. The MLW is passed through a 5000 lb link at the bottom, comes back up and through an adapter at the top.

I already have, and I am using Thunderbird too! They are both excellent ! I have IE and Outlook shrunk down and buried so deep on my computer I hope that I never find them again Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

Indirectly, yes. We have serious concerns that a single point, adjustable main lift web "could" be insufficient to take the force exerted by a malfunctioning, ram air main parachute, especially if generated by line dump, or some other situation that caused the parachute to open excessivly hard. While this problem hasn't arisen with Racer Trainers that were constructed that way, John decided to designate that design as suitable for round parachutes only. This is a pre-emptive action to avoid the situation that caused the grounding of the Student Javelin with a similar design.

Derek, this is, at best, a provocative posting as that is NOT what the bulletin states, and your comment that you do not work on Racers suggests to me that you posted it for effect only. If I am wrong here, I apologize in advance, but suggest that you read more carefully before posting inaccurate information here. The note on the web site is very clear. In an effort to prevent the kind of problems experienced by some other manufacturer's equipment, pre-emptive action has been taken regarding some older style of rigs with a single adjustment point.

I did a lot of research on Nicotine and it's "addictive" nature - if it were truly as addicitve as you think, Bertus wouldn't be able to smoke just one or two.... the addictive nature of smoking is psychological, with some VERY minor physical attributes. Anything taken with regularity (even oatmeal) every day will provide some withdrawal symptoms if you stop taking it, but most smokers tie their habit in to other actions (phone/eating/coffee/sex etc) which then don't seem complete without it. However there is nothing good in the 40,000 toxic and poisonous chemicals produced in the combustion of a cigarette, so common sense says "don't breathe it in" Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?
