Well Ms. Minx just where is your TR? PP

Just have to say this: look in the RC forum all is there!

We had joy. We had fun. We had Seasons in the sun. But the…..

The park is scheduled to open on 3/19/04. Does open and close apply only to parking? That is if a person was dropped of could he/she go climbing at the park legally or is the entire property off limits? PP

I’ll admit to using one before. My take is that it might be useful for a specific clip somewhere on earth but in general it is not very useful. Maybe a shorter person would like it more than I did.

Ideology: a dogmatic and incorrect set of beliefs held by one's political opponents; usually can be said to include a private plan which, if made public, would reveal the vile nature of the ideology's proponents.

In the Icicle there is a very long crack roof boulder problem. It is about 25 feet long. It ends as perfect hands.

Any word on these guys? REi stocks them.

Looks like it would be hard to place in its smallest configuration.

Has anyone ever climbed at the sandstone area around there. There was a mini guide written a few years ago. I have never been there but it might be a fun place to check out this spring.

Joke - they had to add 1 billion pages for all the spray.

Interesting essay: "Between 2000 and 2025 China’s median age is set to rise very substantially: from about 30 to around 39. According to unpd projections for 2025, in fact, China’s median age will be higher than America’s. The impending tempo of population aging in China is very nearly as rapid as anything history has yet seen. It will be far faster than what was recorded in the more developed regions over the past three decades and is exceeded only by Japan. There is a crucial difference, however, between Japan’s recent past and China’s prospective future. To put the matter bluntly, Japan became rich before it became old; China will do things the other way around. When Japan had the same proportion of population 65 and older as does China today (2000), its level of per capita output was three times higher than China’s is now. In 2025, 13.4 percent of China’s population is projected to be 65-plus; when Japan crossed the 13.4 percent threshold, its per capita gdp was approaching $20,000 a year (constant 1990 ppp dollars). One need not be a “Sino-pessimist” to suggest that China will be nowhere near that same economic marker 22 years from now.... Thus, China’s rapidly graying population appears to face a triple bind. Without a broad-coverage national pension system, and with only limited filial resources to fall back on, paid work will of necessity loom large as an option for economic security for many older Chinese. But employment in China, today and tomorrow, will be more physically punishing than in oecd countries, and China’s older cohorts are simply less likely to be up to the task. The aggregation of hundreds of millions of individual experiences with this triple bind over the coming generation will be a set of economic, social, and political constraints on Chinese development — and power augmentation — that have not as yet been fully appreciated in Beijing, much less overseas."

Maybe I was wrong before : link

why bother with any of this. First, it seems all this happened back in the early 80's. Second, it was a journalist, not an intern. And finally, Wesley Clark, who put the rumor into play, is now going to endorse Kerry. PP

"It's never too early to change the world -- women interns are our future!" Check out the bottom caption!

It was written by a teenager in 1991! Of course on NPR it's the stuff of genius!

Chuck - My post explicitly mentioned uncertainty, since your reply seems not to consider that at all I can only conclude it is not serious. Your reply is also not correct in that Iraq was not incompliance with UN demands. It was this noncompliance which was the issue. PP
