  5. WI5???? are you on drugs? that was originally rated WI3 and then crept up to 3+ before settling in at easy 4.
  6. WHAT - no new GRAEMLINS?
  7. Is salinization where the whole valley turns into Salinas and starts selling Steinbeck memorabilia
  8. "What is life without risk?" - Dave McClung, co-author of 'The Avalanche Handbook' (Mountaineers Books) and professor of avalanche forecasting and snow science...as expert as they come and not dead yet.
  9. what the diff between quick reply and normal reply?
  10. mushrooms
  11. If you drain the lake and it rains on the silt for a few years your problem will solve itself although there will be some fierce turbidity problems downstream. Or you could use the silt to fertilize the fields in the Central Valley.
  12. Venus has completely resurfaced from vulcanism within the last 600 million yrs or so. There are huge pillow lavas everywhere. Your source quoted above is 40 yrs out of date. However: there is no plate tectonics on Venus because the planet lost all its water quite some time ago and it turns out you need water to keep the plates ductile. So the crust locked up and it's just "episodic crustal evolution" ever since.
  13. Damn if you froze that lake and put a couple of polar bears in there it'd look like a pint-sized Baffin Island
  14. nonmagnetic material can still be electrically conductive eg: pyrite

    yeah, the scouring of the shire is tolkein's protest against industrial society represented by saruman! also saruman is the best-cast character in the movie except maybe for aragorn and gollum.
  16. Explain what you mean by "necessary but not sufficient" you lost me there Oh well anyway it's cause the core of Venus might be iron sulfate like a giant pyrite crystal, and hence non-magnetic
  17. Ya. as for me I'm too cheap and my life is worth so little I will never leave a screw and bail in 5 minutes if I can leave an Abalakov and bail in an hour

    Hey Sprayton have you tried Russian mail order? You can probably even get a Titanium one from Irbis
  21. Dwayner is an archaeologist we could ask him if he wasn't banned

  23. Some wise words here and what was said could also apply to avalungs and airbags and the latest greatest technology. Also none of those gadgets helps much when an avalanche carries you over a cliff or into a tree at high speed. The best way to avoid avalanche burial is to not get caught in one in the first place, eg: skiing groomed runs or staying at home or whatever if that's what it takes. Also following the conditions as they evolve, being aware of microterrain features, snowpack structure at various scales, blah blah etc.
  24. Well see they logged off the forests in the middle east and never replanted, and overgrazed, and farmed the fields without fallowing or fertilizing properly, and look what you get : a desert! A good example of early human-induced climate change.
  25. well what the hell some arborist told me that the cedars of lebanon were deodars and he obviously hoaxed me good! unless it turns out that the librani is the deodar like the arbutus is the madrone
