I must say that I haven't read this post since I lasted posted - - Science to the rescue! LINK

This weekend will be spent listening to Evanescence and playing Sims2. While not climbing it's still pretty

Better than Drum & Bass Night!

Matt - it was a simple question: what facts were disputed? What exactly was retracted. That you choose not to answer this and instead obscure the issue at hand in fact quite telling. You even bring in poor Mr. Rather and again miss the point regarding him. He simply failed to meet journalisitc standards and when he got caught he refused to step up to the plate and admit his error. Whether or not Bush evaded in duties as a memeber of the NG is simply besides the point. I think you know that. Making claims about Bush's behavior is I guess a sideways admission that Rather was not up to snuff. The same can be said for Newsweek. For Newsweek it is simply a case of: Newsweek asserted P. Their attempts at confirmation yielded ~P and Null. They then concluded P. From a standpoint of logic their conclusion was simply wrong. Here is what appeared in the Washington Post: link The answer to my earlier question regarding Deep Throat is I believe that they did not rely soley on Deep Throat. Thus there appears to be a change in journalistic standards. This change is proabaly the result of several things not the least of which is asense of desperation on the part of the MSN - really left in general. PP

You guys miss the real story even while it surrounds you: the Left is now resorting to the cheapest tactics as defensive maneuvers. Evidence of weakness and a sheer love of power and position. Newsweek Read this exchange: link Galloway It was wonderful theater, but read the transcripts (if you didn't see the show) they seem quite similar to the above. BTW - Why hasn't anyone brought up details of his last election.... Canada Paul Martin's bending of the rules turned an unremarkable and narrow electoral triumph into a fundamental political divide. Once the left had the likes of Jean Paul Sartres leading the charge now they have George Galloway, Michael Moore, J_B and Ward Churchill. How the mighty have fallen. Once the left marched at the front in Civil Rights protests now they resort to rule bending and filibustering to deny the will of the electorate.

Interesting study: "Abadie finds that a country's level of political freedom better explains the presence of terrorism." Link: NBER - Charge Earlier Draft - -free Check out the graph on page 15. Note that for a rights index of 7 a country would have to improve to a 3 before terrorist risk index was neutral. It appears as if one of the consequences of the Bush Doctrine (i.e. supporting freedom) will necessarily be an increase in the risk of terrorism as freedom increases. Could increased terorrism be indicative of success?Ultimately isn’t 3 a better position than 7? And 2 better than 3. And…..

You're the man!

Newsweek asserted P. Their attempts at confirmation yielded ~P and Null. They then concluded P. From a standpoint of logic their conclusion was simply wrong.

Dru - I expected that you would have posted this by now! Your slowing down. Pablo Picasso Words and music: Jonathan Richman Well some people try to pick up girls And get called assholes This never happened to Pablo Picasso He could walk down your street And girls could not resist his stare and So Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole Well the girls would turn the color Of the avocado when he would drive Down their street in his El Dorado He could walk down you street And girls could not resist his stare Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole Not like you Alright Well he was only 5'3" But girls could not resist his stare Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole Not in New York Oh well be not schmuck, be not obnoxious, Be not bellbottom bummer or asshole Remember the story of Pablo Picasso He could walk down your street And girls could not resist his stare Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole Alright this is it Some people try to pick up girls And they get called an asshole This never happened to Pablo Picasso He could walk down your street And girls could not resist his stare and so Pablo Picasso was never called...

The perfect antidote to what brings you down.

And on a serious note I just realized that PC attendance dropped precipitously after a certain someone went and got married. Well anyhow that’s my excuse.

I agree with you here!

RumR are you channeling BOB!?!?!?!?

Scoe –While you never said “suck” explicitly you did say: “…it was pretty ridiculous.” “I just think you guys were in over your heads and the fact that you did not realize/nor acknowledge this was what upset me off the most.” “For me your pace would have been tolerable had I not known…” “While I agree climbing is about challenging yourself I don’t think french freeing a route like outerspace, which occurred multiple times, is all that challenging” I agree with Matt about passing. There was a similar thread several years ago where one poster slammed slowbies and bragged of how he passed them just by pushing his way thru. A sshort time later he was in a serious accident on easy terrain. Accidents can easily happen anywhere.

Yup telling someone they suck via the internet is always hard to pass up!

The other options could have been used by the parties with the later start. The odd thing is many consider Orbit to be a better route and it usually has less traffic. I for one do not understand why people like OS so much. The only pitches that I have ever enjoyed are the handcrack pitches and they are a pain to get to.

Good style is climbing in a safe manner despite feeling the pressure from those pressing you from behind yet too timid to actually ask to pass.

Climb popular routes and sometimes you’ll get caught in a line up. Complaining about it is like saying: “I love being a doctor, I just hate working with people.”

I believe C-100 is no longer in production as of at least year or so ago. Not sure if all places have sold out yet. USHBA knows this and have simply not updated their site. HY-150 is commonly used, but there've been some reported problems with it having surface cracking in Thailand. I would not use this glue. The new standard is HIT-RE500. Most reliable place to get it is Hilti or some Home Depots have Hilti mini stores.

Not really similar. Tuition is not airfare. Anyway to help you out here is the audit report. link See page 12. Total airfare exp: `$60k. This is more than likely not student airfare but airfare for the admins. since they are called program overhead.

LOL hey I posted it as a quote and told you to google..two points Actually I was going to find the original stuff but lost interest not really my thing

Ah go google! And you are of course another data point unless you're not cruisin' CC.com late on a Friday....don't ask whyI am on.
