That is false. It was not the bartack that failed. Do a search for "Raven SB", find the active link to the service bulletin, and read it. The affectted ravens used type III tape for the attachment loop to the canopy. Everyone else uses type V. It was the tape that failed not the bartack. "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

There's a ton of good guys around here, and he's definitely one of 'em. Walt Thanks, Walt. That made my week.

golly, sorry for trying to play with all you nice, caring , vibe-senders. i didn't realize personal style wasn't allowed on dz.com. here's another observation walt: you are currently percieved as ridiculously cliquish by at least one person. oddly enough, anyone who comes to your defense will only make you seem more so. you guys really should stop hijacking this thread, and help this poor girl find her next ex-boyfriend. I'm right here.

Abraham Lincoln had no middle name A ‘jiffy’ is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second. National Pi Day is March 14, at 1:59. (3/14 1:59) 7% of Americans don’t know the first 9 words of the American anthem, but know the first 7 of the Canadian anthem! 5% of Canadians don’t know the first 7 words of the Canadian anthem, but know the first 9 of the American anthem!

UPS just pulled up and delivered a package! Wish number one is granted.... I suppose I'd better learn those blocks... We could have jumpable weather tomorrow.

I've done pretty well only knowing "E is Meeker." Only recently learned "O".

Another example? In Super Bowl XL, the Seahawks led the Steelers in most staistical categories: 1) total yards; 2) passing was dominant; 3) turnovers; 4) Time of Possession; 5) First downs. That's not fair when a team that the stats showed kicked the other team's ass lost. The Steelers were outplayed that game. But the score was Seahawks 10, Steelers 21. A fairly convincing score. The rule has always been that the team that scores the most points win. In presidential elections, the rule has always been that the candidate with the most electoral votes wins. Popular vote is like first downs or total yards - it doesn't matter in the end. It's fair when everyone knows the rules, okay? If my goal is to get the most yards for my team, and I do it, I may not have won the game. Baseball is a better comparison to the electoral college. The idea of competition brings us back to baseball, where the playoffs are creating a typically exciting October. Can you imagine the champion team being determined by a 63-inning supergame instead of seven nine-inning games? "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

It's kind of minor - much like having an engine in a car makes the car go faster. Or like having wings on an airplane help it fly a little bit better RW suits are like girlfriends. Given some experience in the sport, you will find you need about 3 of them and tight booties are very important. "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

It's because of the error that has yet to be fixed. See link. See attachment. "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

Most incidents branded as 'misfires' are usually attributable to Operator Error (failure to read the manual.) Airtec's design philosophy for the cypres is to save lives and not have their AAD activate in a 'false positive' scenario. For example, on one World Team jump there was a need to rapidly pressurize the aircraft resulting in a barometric reading change from +20,000 ft agl to below sea level in several seconds. This translates into a tremendous descent rate. Some Vigils activated in the aircraft. The cypres response in this situation is to automatically shut the unit off until serviced by the manufacturer. No cypres activation. Both brands are reliable AAD's. I have original cypres 1 units which I intend to keep for at least the next 8 to 10 years of their service life.

Have you thought about just ignoring her? When I’m sick of a guy, I usually don’t call back. When they try to talk to me at the dropzone, I always make myself appear to be unavailable. They usually get the message sooner or later, or they become a total stalker! I’ve had to deal with a lot of guys at the dropzone who took our flings a little too seriously if you know what I mean!

Do the right thing. Dump her before she can dump you. The fact that you feel guilty means you have a conscience. Figure out what you can learn from this... it's part of growing up.

I'll be at CouchFreaks. I would let the team know that being absent from work when they are not on approved vacation time or literally sick is an abuse of a benefit. The abuse of employee benefits will be noted in their annual review under "attendance". In short, "I hired you to perform a job, I expect you to show up." "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
