eclairs and the TDF

Sheeit, you don't need a beacon to find a sled after spring thaw.

According to ex-Pres. Clinton, Bush did not overrun Bagdad because of a prior agreement with surrounding Arab nations (made before the Storm) to not do so in return for their support (from Atlantic Monthly). Clinton himself was involved with national issues during the first term (it was about the economy then, stupid), then got bogged down in the Balkans (and with the never-ending mid-east conflict. And, BTW, Arafat should have grabbed for nation-hood when is was magnanimously offered) --Totally f'ed up on Rwanda, too. Now Bush --The Sequel-- is pushing to get rid of Saddam. I think Saddam should be exchanging courtroom strategies with Milosevic from their cells. Saddam is a criminal.

A Czech diplomat explained in the Economist why his country takes the American side in NATO debates. "One thing we learned from the 1930s- no more security guarantees from France."

Uh, US Sanctions are totally f'ed up. And they would end if Saddam could release his grasp on power. But he won't. So what options are there? Peace marches?

Whoa! Fights back on. Again.

Uday, uh, I mean "erik"; Do you just not like Iraqi people, and would prefer them to subsist in a dictatorship?

Hey DFA, looks like your Mistress has a wedgie. And needs to shave. Boink!

Naw. You're thinking of Amy "The Long Island Lolita" Fisher. She couldn't leave New Jersey, or something, for the fight with Tanya last March, so Paula Jones went into the ring instead. That fight series also featured Todd "Whatch you talkin' bout Willis" Bridges beating the shit outta Vanilla "fights like a gurl" Ice. That's entertainment.

Ex prison punk Mike Tyson --due to his waffling ("I'll fight. I won't fight. Okay, I'll fight. . . ")-- has denied PDX bruiser Tanya Harding the opportunity for her professional debut Saturday on the Tyson-Etienne undercard. Given her illustrative career contortions, some might find it refreshing that Tanya was denied the chance to fuck-up her image all on her own. Patience, my precious; She'll find a way yet.

Schorr's got the face for radio.

What about for cold and wind?

Yos, of course Pika knocks off designs. And they have had production of pins that were closed-out by the original manufacturers. (eg.: Think Leeper Zs when Leeper wasn't in production. The list can go on and on). They're just a small company that makes funky wall gear, and fills voids where they see them.

Synopsis: "I dislike you. I suck at climbing, but you totally suck. I hate spray, but spray nevertheless. Bitch." Here's a visual: If any of y'all give a fuck that Robert the Polisher disses on the PNW climbing scene, you have serious self-loathing issues.

Feeling vulnerable? Perhaps you know a mental health expert with whom you can share your anxieties?

Maybe, just maybe, the sales clerk at REI is uninformed. It happens every now and then.

Irony?

Do you have a lycra confession to make?

"Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without your accordion."

No one was more pleased with the anit-war rallys than Saddam himself (okay, maybe Tariq Aziz was happier). Protesters in Amman shouted "Our beloved Saddam, attack Tel Aviv! You Arab leaders, where are your armies?"

You were surprised? How many European nations stepped up to the plate to prevent 200,000 deaths on their southern doorstep? Answer: 0. As if China has any moral authority. Or Germany, or France, for that matter. The whole thing is a tragic play, and Bush was an idiot to try to get UN support at any time.

Consider the underlying substrate's ability to absorb water. That may resolve your quandry.

Glad you like www.iceclimb.com Cracked's initial question was phrased strangely. Low elevation ice-climb formation doesn't happen solely in Washington state. All that is needed to form ice is below freezing temps and a water source (it doesn't even have to be liquid. Snow can be sintered into ice). That's the extent of "geographical influences". The specifics of what forms a particular ice-climb can be varied. All of the mechanisms listed on www.iceclimb.com/science.html can come into play, or only one. And that can vary week to week and season to season for an iceclimb. I provided the information on the science.html page so that a climber can evaluate the ice in front of his eyes. Is it anchor ice, or icicles, etc.? And ice does form in Oregon.

I have pairs of Salomon (guide 9) and Tecnica (altitude plus) boots, and highly regard their quality.
