I couldn't focus on what she was stuttering because of those crazy freakin' alien eyebrows . Total sigh of relief when she turned it over to Daschle.

Send pictures Can you inquire about rock-climbing in Samui for me? That is, is there any? I may be there next fall.

Why don't climbers developing new routes post here
chucK replied to Thinker's topic in Rock Climbing Forum
I don't think "thin skinned" is the right word here. It's one thing to listen to a polite critique. It's another to read to variations on a theme of your route sucks 20 times over two days. It would probably be a lot more friendly in here if people could resist the urge to add their own unique way to say "that route is an overbolted piece of hot stinky shit" to the pile of ten already there. Critiquing peoples routes is probably actually the perfect place to use the dreaded "me too" or icon. "Me too" lets you add your vote, cause sometimes you just gotta be heard, but refrains from spraying in the route-builder's face. -
Awesome!

Even if there's a TNF logo sewn into 'em? -
Yes there were, and one of 'em was dropping a whole bunch a lotta rocks on us. It's an easy route to be dropping rocks from, but I think they could've been a bit more careful . Which reminds me, I forgot to add "helmet" to the above beta.

Atkins diet is for people who want to lose weight, but not necessarily for those who want to also be "fit". Nurses Health Study came out with a paper saying margarine was worse than butter. Edited to add: I just did a quick search and could find no statement as such from the NHS. Perhaps I just heard it on the news and it was spun by dairy mfr's ? Here's an abstract from a current publication that certainly does not say butter is better and may hint at it being worse.

I haven't seen the official topo so my pitch #'s may be off but here's the beta as per your specifications: p's 1 through ~12 straightforward (follow the bolts) 1.5 bolts, lot's of 'em p's 13-16 might want topo 3 small nuts and tcu's (in looseness) p's 17-? didn't do HELMET recommended

I'm curious as to whether such perfectly rectilinear anchor placements are optimal. To my way of thinking, pits with irregular sides may be more practical in the field, and may actually increase the shear strength.

Both! From Nov -> April the closure will be at Taylor River which is a mile (or less according to Klenke [who seems to know his stuff]) from the trailhead for this climb. May -> October it's closed at Dingford Creek which is well past it. By the way, choss not moss is and will be the issue with this climb.

He's probably hoping that will help him avoid a felony rap for ratting on the prez.

EXACTLY!!! They have completely shifted focus from constituent representation to simply self-preservation and power accumulation. Though you seem to want to deflect this topic (other presidents, congress), I'll readdress the main point, which is Bush. Are you saying that we should vote for Bush again because the congress didn't stop him from doing all the bad things he did? Looney logic.
-
WTF? Are you saying 100,000 Americans died at Kosovo? Enlighten us. That's good to know. I hope all 99% of you go out and vote! Bring your like-minded friends. As for the other 1% of you, don't bother, your vote is wasted . WTF? You're sounding all cryptic like Erik or Caveman. Elaborate or be ignored.

Yeah. So work on getting a president you can support rather than whining about a president who's term will end in months. What are you gonna do impeach him for his last 3 days in office? I am! Why do you think I am writing all this anti-Bush rhetoric on this website! I figure there's a small chance I could jog a Fox-news zombie out of her coma, and a better chance that I can firm the resolve of anti-shrubs to go out and vote and bring 5 friends with them. I think the Dems would have a hard time finding a candidate I would not support wholeheartedly against Bush. I would agitate for another candidate from the Republican party, but here in WA they cancelled our chance to do that. Dean, Clark, Kerry, Gephart, McCain, Perot, Nader, Mosely Braun, Clinton, Dicks. I'd vote for Trask over GWB. Much rather have a president who satisfies himself via sexual harassment in the oval office than one who inflates himself by sending 10000 americans to their graves or the army hospital. So there are 11 people I would vote for over GWB. I'm sure you could find about 11,000 more. I am firmly in the anti-Bush camp. The bleeding needs to be stopped. That is job one.

OK, you're not justifying what Bush has been done by trotting out other presidents. Instead, you seem to be blaming it all on Congress? How lame an argument is that? Are you seriously saying that the Bush administration has just been sitting with their thumbs up their asses (well maybe Bush was) while the congress just developed and passed the various legislation of the past 3 years? I'll trot out a past president at this point(the one who probably has the most deaths on his head). "The Buck Stops Here". You certainly don't seem to be endorsing Bush with this kind of talk. You seem to be distancing him from what has happened on his watch. Does that mean you don't approve of the erosions of civil liberties? As far as I know, Ashcroft was appointed by Bush. Not by congress. I think congress needed to approve him, but they certainly didn't pick him to be in the position. Bush can fire him too. I think you will agree that Bush should be held responsible/get credit for all that Ashcroft has done and will do. Blaming what has happened on congress is disingenuous as well as patently ludicrous.

Well doesn't it make more sense to cry about what is right in front of us? Doesn't it make more sense to agitate for some change that we actually can affect? I guess to make your point more logical and progressive I can assume that what you really mean, is that Bush is not going to be any worse than anybody else we could elect. As far as that point goes, I would heartily disagree with that. Like I wrote above, I think GWB is head and shoulders more dangerous to our country than any president I am familiar with. In 2000, I was not too worried about who was elected because I figured they were both so-so guys, but even if the anti-environmental guy got elected, we still wouldn't be screwed up too much. I can't believe how wrong I was. GWB is destroying this country and it's future. It is a tragedy. I'll bet if the supreme court had the benefit of hindsight, things would be a lot different right now.

We need another Perot. Could get one too. Some kinda rich mexiphobe upset about the illegal alien amnesty diluting our precious bodily fluids.
