If you have lots of draws you can put two draws on one screw for the double-to-single clips and give each rope its own draw, to avoid the scenario gregm describes. But usually you have to clip the second draw into the first draw (sling not biner) to work this.

Dwayner - I like English-French-German- English. Betrueb, amigo. It is English at GermanEnglish. The index: End with the designation " through TO " hot end " - " hot point " - ". the meaning of " is called by program " of hot translation with a form of the verb " is called confused " - " over " good attempt to be called however. I will give you a doll of kewpie as prices anyhow. As you probably know, the majority of these translation programs sucks. They must really have a good functioning knowledge of the interest language to be able to rotate the raw translations which create it. I must treat several different languages in my work, and I sweep an unpleasant text with ROCK and the emptiness in the translation program occasionally, in order to catch the vocabulary, which I just upward often do not know and then outputs as much time cleaning he with a dictionary.

Bro Dwayner - I dont think you read my argument or maybe i didnt come across clearly enough. i dont disagree with you. paying 3rd world employees in a sweatshop American minimum wage is not gonna solve anything. the WHOLE COUNTRY income scale & expenses has got to increase so it is comparable to 1st world. (or at least comparable in the way that EU and N Am are comparable even though Barabee's is damn sight cheaper than REI and so is MEC). but if those employees want to make more coin they pretty much have to unionize cause it is unlikely that the corporations are going to give them more wages purely out of altruism. and the union has to go international and across board or else corp. will move to another country or bring in scabs. and the ability of a union to do that is pretty unlikely. on the subject of gear quality - , i have found. that said the difference between brand x and brand y gear usually comes down to design, materials and quality checking. so you get cheap gear that is made of cheap nylon, and full of flaws, or you get expensive gear made well and well checked. (ideally you want cheap but well made gear but they always end up putting their prices up because consumers think if its cheap it must be crap). country of origin doesnt come into it as much if materials, design and qual checking are equal.

on the issue of sewing skills - a large portion of the Vancouver based garment manufacturing industry including Arcteryx, is composed of recent immigrants, doing the sewing. seeing that Arcteryx uis expanding so fast that they would hire Zebu the monkey if he could sew, im sure they are not discriminating against native born canadians in their hiring practices, more like 1) many native Cdns dont really know how to sew that well, we just buy new jeans when our old ones get worn out 2) those born-in Canada Cdns that do know how to sew are probably not looking for work, they are like my grandma, sitting around home making quilts and jam to give out as Xmas presents. It kinda sucks though, you have a doctorate from Jakarta University, no one in Canada will hire you based on that, but you can make $20 an hour sewing fleece. then again I spent a year after i got my m.sc. belaying kids in a climbing gym, and I only made $8 an hour doing that.

A year ago I was right where I am now. except, a year ago, when I started driving to the Rockies, my engine blew up in Kamloops, it cost me $2000 to fix, and I never made it to the rockies. So this year I have a better car and i am gonna wreak havoc on that phat Alberta floe. so anybody that is reading this that is gonna be in the cdn rockies around new years send me a pm about hooking up for the party.

Is it true that both of you were guarding alien spacecraft at Area 51 a couple of years ago?

I have 5 screamers and i place them on my first 5 scrws cause the fall factor is highest. they have wiregates on both ends because the low gate mass makes them unlikely to open if the stitch ripping causes vibration. i have seen guys fall on screamers on ice suddenly (like all 4 pts of contact suddenly fail while the guy is just standing there psyching) and they work awesome. never seen one rip all the stitches open - just about 1/3 of them- but i heard it can happen with bigger falls.

i am a quiet peaceful guy that types like a loudmouth drunnken asshole. and erik i am going to rip your ### off with barbed pliers and then ***** it and shove it down your %%%%%%% while it is still $$$$$$$ and laugh. is that enough of a bizarre threatof bodily harm or what??

I f the logging companies are gonna shoot spotted owls when they see em.... we make fake spotted owls god damn it!

the difference between a n american seamstress and a seamstress in china, is that the chinese gets paid about 50 cents a day. the indonesian would make 10c. and half that "made in USA" stuff is made in Guam or some only nominally american dependency somewhere. the only way you will solve that problem is eliminating the wage disparity between the first and third world and that wil ltake more than just boycotting the products from one or more countries. and TG, for insomnia, try Kava Kava. melatonin works but i think it can fuck up your biorhythm/circadian cycle in the long run.

read "Lady Chatterly's Lover" Max!

Hatton has been dying for years but somehow he's still alive, barely.

I have M10s and I spit on all your puny crampons.

Dwayner 1) this is Spray 2) i dont want your "hot tip" anywhere near my body.

Is it that climbing on incrément never articles tore off, which rise with dynamite? The famous hard core of Squamish planned a plan in the past, in order to eliminate the good edge of antinode bulge, because too many climbing it is weakly escaped in this manner, instead of continuing Roman chimneys upward. For more désapprover the press they installed the Dynamitfriom stolen a bus shed and to have it on the edge. However no explosion eventuated and the climbing were not weakly further-used, in order to exhaust upward from this mark instead of the progress.

Jim Carrey, Michael J Fox, Wayne Gretzky, Celine Dion, William Shatner etc. are more famous than Trebek. [ 12-17-2001: Message edited by: Dru ]

The stature of the great genital devices of Lou is little important except in context. If Lou were the only body in the universe, the stature of its piece would be inmensurable. It is only when the Pope and Duainer obtain excited on him that he becomes an editing that a certain absolute measurement could be established - for example, is perhaps greater than breadbox, but smaller than the crack of the carnival.

ReviveX is totally different than NikWax, somehow. The gear head design dudes at ArcTeryx were not a big fan of Nikwax when I was there - something about long term decreases in durability or something, i cant actually remember. just use whatever works.

you must be mistaken i am not online.

If only I had a webcam I could hook it up to my laptop, if I only had a laptop, and give the desk bound cc.com sprayers a virtual tour of the Rockies Ice Factory.

I'm gonna send a picture postcard of "Panther Falls" to panther!

Simpson is still alive and drinking beer. The thought of having to use a spoon to scrape the contact lens off that has frozen to your eyeball, however, has always seemed pretty to me. [ 12-17-2001: Message edited by: Dru ]
