    I recommend the use of Slinks on reserves. They won't cause wear on the slider grommets. Granted, if you're using your reserve to the point where this is an issue, you probably need a packing course, but whenever you can eliminate a wear point, you should.

    What evidence do you have that would support your claim? Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!) AA #2069 ASA#33 POPS#8808 Swooo 1717

    A good one is The Gypsy Moths. Shot in the 60's, it's a cool look at old school jumping. Ignore the plot and "story" line and concentrate on the jumps. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

    And with four more years of Shrubya and company, things like his are going to get worse, much worse. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!) AA #2069 ASA#33 POPS#8808 Swooo 1717

    Thanks a lot. I really do appreciate your help. Nothing like a new piece of software to make you feel like an idiot. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

    *** What does that mean? Never heard of that step either. What does that mean? Ever since I switched to Mac and PS, as opposed to Windows and Corel, I feel totally lost. Here is the original.

    OK, I'm trying to make a new image for my profile. I'm following the protocol for "save for web" but the image size will not go smaller than 24k. This is despite setting it for 9k.

    It doesn't say how they plan to do it, just that they want to do it. Typical whuffo BS. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!) AA #2069 ASA#33 POPS#8808 Swooo 1717

    Basically you can describe the difference as: 4 stroke= suck, squeeze, bang, blow. Turbine= sucksqueezebangblow. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

    Most of them. The fact is that most people make only one or two jumps and then never jump again. I don't understand it, I just know about it. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

    Don't cave in. If you cave on this, they will expect you to cave in on everything else. This is a decision between you and your SO ONLY!!! Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

    Typically, a rig will accept a main that is +/- one size from the original without any problems. Ask your manufacurer though. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

    I'd love to vote for McCain. I just don't see the churches getting behind him, due to his pro-choice stance. Hillary has less than zero chance. There is too much leftover hatred of Bill for her to have even a snowballs chance in hell. OTOH, the dems are done, finished over and out. They are professional losers. The only hope is that they will fold fast and a new, more worthy party will take their place. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

    We've been doing that same trick for years on the Fire Dept. Works EVERY time.

    I was a two can when I started and was a two can when i finished. It's been 18 years and not a shred of regret.

    Yes it is. The state must be secular in its application. That's what the first amendment is all about. You may not legislate your religion into the secular government. The Supreme Court decided this years ago in the Lemon v Curlett case. They stated that any laws passed and enacted must meet the following criteria: 1. They must be secular in nature. 2. They must not entangle the state in religion. 3. They must not favor(or advance) one religion over another. Like it or not, you can't use the state to force your religion on anyone else. This applies whether or not we have a fundementalist x-tian in the White House. Let the shitblizzard begin. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...
