Oh great, now EVERYONE knows about it Iain Next you'll tell them about the secret tunnel that runs from Glacier to Cultus Lake.

Oh these would be the same friends who have all the other problems too? "Yeah doc, I'm calling for my friend, see, cause he's too embarasssed to ask a doctor directly about his a) premature ejaculation problem b) impotence c) sheep lust or d) all of the above"

Let's not forget it is a Squamish tradition to fix ropes and "bivy" in the Chieftan Bar when climbing a wall.

Alpine water ice climbing is at least 21/2, maybe 3 months away. Real ice climbing is more like 4 months away. Stoke for FALL CRAGGING!

I didnt think they let you across the Border

Wow! real evidence of full on sponsor stroking!

The only scientific organization investigating the Bigfoot mystery " We find answers while others go in circles." Confused about Bigfoot? Only here, and one allied site, will you find REAL ANSWERS based on solid research. All the others are lost, confused, have inexperienced leaders, silly theories, no real evidence. Description: The B.I.P. was founded in 1975. On the Lummi Indian Reservation, Bellingham,WA. Site includes unusual reports database, advanced expeditions, tips on conducting field research, and the world's largest collection of valid BF photos. A safe place to report your sighting - we will often investigate.The group with real answers to the mystery. We have PhD scientific advisors. We are a "no-kill" group. We carry no guns, for any reason - period. We oppose those who do. We hold that Bigfoot is an animal with extremely advanced or abnormal abilities, thus escaping humans. We study both the animals and their controversial abilities. " EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW ABOUT BIGFOOT ------ IS (mostly) WRONG !" ( Previously known as The Sasquatch Research Project, Project Bigfoot and Project Grendel. ) You may reach this site via www.bigfoot.org -- easy to remember. (Note re the photo - frame 350 of the PG Film - every inch of the creature is filled with other images of other beings, heads mostly, also, Hulk Hogan's face, the Devil, a fox, a four toed track, a lower arm opening up like the one in Predator, Coke bottles, the head of Albert Ostman, and strange other objects. You can spend an hour of "Where's Waldo" looking at it. It reflects the general weirdness of Bigfoot. And, due to recent photos from our 2004 expedition, it now seems that the "baboon head" next to the main head above is really an alien head, and it is the same head...Sorry, but it is now more weird than we had expected.....)

It sounds like you are perfectly qualified to seige up da Toof!
-
This doesn't sound much different than the "personal attacks" and allegations of chestbeating that several people on this site have whined about in the past. Except they have their own magazine to do it.

Olympic judging is a scandal ridden farce. In many cases the win is decided by the judges before the event even begins

Oh c'mon all the cool Japanese kids wear down jackets walking around on Robson Street in the November rains. So they MUSt work.

Tantalus and Chehalis = rain, rain, rain this w/e.

if its this weekend forecast is not looking great for a 4 day trip on the west side so head east, you might have to give up on a glacier to stay dry though.

Re: Loyalty to your comrades or doing the right thing People are saying Kerry sold out his soldier brothers-in-arms by coming home and criticizing the war. Isn't that a good quality for a President, not being loyal to a flawed idea just because your close friends are, but having the candour to stand up for what you believe is right even if it means alienating your friends? Compare to Bush stacking the deck with his ex-oil business cronies?

The significance of Russell's paradox can be seen once it is realized that, using classical logic, all sentences follow from a contradiction. For example, assuming both P and ~P, any arbitrary proposition, Q, can be proved as follows: from P we obtain P Q by the rule of Addition; then from P Q and ~P we obtain Q by the rule of Disjunctive Syllogism. Because of this, and because _nodder theory underlies all branches of mathematics, many people began to worry that, if _nodder theory was inconsistent, no mathematical proof could be trusted completely. Russell's paradox ultimately stems from the idea that any coherent condition may be used to determine a _nodder. As a result, most attempts at resolving the paradox have concentrated on various ways of restricting the principles governing _nodder existence found within naive _nodder theory, particularly the so-called Comprehension (or Abstraction) axiom. This axiom in effect states that any propositional function, P(x), containing x as a free variable can be used to determine a _nodder. In other words, corresponding to every propositional function, P(x), there will exist a _nodder whose members are exactly those things, x, that have property P.[3] It is now generally, although not universally, agreed that such an axiom must either be abandoned or modified.[4] Russell's own response to the paradox was his aptly named theory of types. Recognizing that self-reference lies at the heart of the paradox, Russell's basic idea is that we can avoid commitment to R (the _nodder of all _nodders that are not members of themselves) by arranging all sentences (or, equivalently, all propositional functions) into a hierarchy. The lowest level of this hierarchy will consist of sentences about individuals. The next lowest level will consist of sentences about _nodders of individuals. The next lowest level will consist of sentences about _nodders of _nodders of individuals, and so on. It is then possible to refer to all objects for which a given condition (or predicate) holds only if they are all at the same level or of the same "type." This solution to Russell's paradox is motivated in large part by the so-called vicious circle principle, a principle which, in effect, states that no propositional function can be defined prior to specifying the function's range. In other words, before a function can be defined, one first has to specify exactly those objects to which the function will apply. (For example, before defining the predicate "is a prime number," one first needs to define the range of objects that this predicate might be said to satisfy, namely the _nodder, N, of natural numbers.) From this it follows that no function's range will ever be able to include any object defined in terms of the function itself. As a result, propositional functions (along with their corresponding propositions) will end up being arranged in a hierarchy of exactly the kind Russell proposes. Although Russell first introduced his theory of types in his 1903 Principles of Mathematics, type theory found its mature expression five years later in his 1908 article, "Mathematical Logic as Based on the Theory of Types," and in the monumental work he co-authored with Alfred North Whitehead, Principia Mathematica (1910, 1912, 1913). Russell's type theory thus appears in two versions: the "simple theory" of 1903 and the "ramified theory" of 1908. Both versions have been criticized for being too ad hoc to eliminate the paradox successfully. In addition, even if type theory is successful in eliminating Russell's paradox, it is likely to be ineffective at resolving other, unrelated paradoxes. Other responses to Russell's paradox have included those of David Hilbert and the formalists (whose basic idea was to allow the use of only finite, well-defined and constructible objects, together with rules of inference deemed to be absolutely certain), and of Luitzen Brouwer and the intuitionists (whose basic idea was that one cannot assert the existence of a mathematical object unless one can also indicate how to go about constructing it). Yet a fourth response was embodied in Ernst Zermelo's 1908 axiomatization of _nodder theory. Zermelo's axioms were designed to resolve Russell's paradox by again restricting the Comprehension axiom in a manner not dissimilar to that proposed by Russell. ZF and ZFC (i.e., ZF supplemented by the Axiom of Choice), the two axiomatizations generally used today, are modifications of Zermelo's theory developed primarily by Abraham Fraenkel. Together, these four responses to Russell's paradox have helped logicians develop an explicit awareness of the nature of formal systems and of the kinds of metalogical and metamathematical results commonly associated with them today.

The word sheath has a number of related meanings in English. In general usage, a sheath is any protective covering that fits closely around the object to be protected. A sword's sheath is called a scabbard. A sheath (synonym: jacket) is the outer covering or coverings of a communications or power cable. It is made of tough material, often plastic, that is resistant to environmental hazards such as abrasion, liquid intrusion, solar radiation, etc., and is used to protect cable components such as optical fibers or metallic conductors that transport the signal or power. There may be more than one sheath surrounding a given cable. For example, some cable designs use an inner sheath surrounded by metallic armor, over which is an outer sheath. (Source: Federal Standard 1037C) Sheath leaves are a type of leaf characteristic of some monocotyledonous plants, especially grasses. Sheath leaves are typically long, narrow, and triangular in shape. The leaf veins are parallel. The main characteristic is a basal part (the sheath) that clasps the stem or culm for some distance above the leaf origin (node). An example of a plant with sheath leaves is maize. A sheath is another word for condom. A penis sheath is traditional clothing in New Guinea, worn without other clothing, tied in upward position (image: http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Asia/Indonesia/photo12474.htm)

Kelly didn't tell me. I'm more impressed with the no water for 2 days thing. This is right up there with that Croft/Anker 8000' pillar in-a-day 5.11 simulclimb near K7. Which I have STILL never seen any pictures of were they in a TNF catalogue or somethin'
