That (former) cop is Michael Ruppert, who publishes "From the Wilderness" a wacko newsletter / website. I read his big conspiracy book "Crossing the Rubicon" and while there are some interesting bits in it, particularly on CIA involvement in drug running and financial markets, the guy's out to lunch IMO. Don't know about a video though.

Moab Barbie: This straight haired brunette desert queen embraces the no-makeup look and comes decked out in Chacos, and full prana ensemble. Hey mid 90s Toyota tacoma has a mismatched canopy shell and 6-10 stickers including mandatory SUWA, 5.10, and Keep Tahoe Blue. She has a Mountainsmith lumbar pack as a purse, with a aussie shepherd mix pet on a leash cut from an old climbing rope. She leads .12 at the 'Creek, brah, but that kayak on the roof rack hasn't seen the water in 3 years. She would never date a lamer named "Ken" but instead hangs with a bro-brah of vauge ethnicity answering to "dudemanbro", "heybrah", or "passthatyo".

Any chance you know a cheap source? Seems like all of them I've seen run $80-100 for a pair of wobbles. Stablor, the first step to Wydor - King of the Offwidth.

What do you do? Looking to get some variety into my workouts. Here are a few I'm currently using: Back extensions and crunches on a stability ball thing. Hold a medicine ball or plate to your chest or away from the body for extra pain. Take a medicine ball or plate, hold it straight overhead, tense your lower abs and do slow-mo lunges around the room. Palms together with forearms on the ball, pushup type position with feet together, and slowly roll the ball out about a foot and back (do 3 sets of 25 reps or so, harder than you think!) Leg raises on the "seatless chair" thing (no idea what you call this apparatus, it's like two pads for your forearms with handles and a backrest). Add ankle weights for more pain. Side crunches with a dumbell in one hand where you're "cruncing" with the muscles between the top of hip and bottom of ribcage. (gotta be a better way to train this?) What do you like? Seems like the stabilizing and smaller muscles and side aren't getting hit as well as I'd like with what I'm using.

Depends on how you clip, and/or whether your using it for the rope end, IMO. If you're a finger through the biner clipper, you'll want something with a little deeper "basket" so the end of the gate can clear your finger. (i.e. a neutrino probably won't work well for you). If you clip the other way or use it as a racking biner, doesn't really matter, get whatever is light and cheap. I have neutrinos, superflys, 5.0s, JCs, and hotwires on the rack. I personally like the 5.0s alot because they're huge/deep for clipping and cheap, but they're also relatively heavy. Superflys way light and nice for the price.

GM and Ford better get on the ball and design some engines to run on radioactive oil.

Nope, never been on it, otherwise why would I ask the question: "is there steeper terrain on the route somewhere?". Nice job CBS.

Too funny. These delicate flowers will be in for a rude, RUDE awakening the first time they show up in Camp4, Hidden ValleyCG, Mosquito cove, castle valley, etc etc etc.

MattP after getting a look at Minxy:

Do ya have a #6 C4 or the biggest flex friend? How much. Do ya have any ultra light axes..Raven, airtech evo, or something similar. If so, lengths/models/price?

Just curious, why a rope on 30 deg snow? Is there steeper terrain somewhere on the route? And where is the WI3 in the first pic? I only see low angle snow and trees. Not trying to slag you, just though maybe you posted the wrong pic by accident or something.

I got my direct deposit refund on 1/18. Got an audit letter for the 2004 tax year on 1/21. Got the audit cleared up a couple of weeks ago with a "sorry, we f'ed up" from the IRS. JayB, re: increased tax receipts. What effect did the one-time repatriation at lower rates for corps deal have on fed receipts, and what effect did elevated real estate values/property taxes from the housing bubble/appraisal fraud have on local receipts? Not an insubstantial effect I would reckon. My point is, the oft asserted claim that our "strong economy" is responsible is an incomplete story at best and a lie at worst. Repatriation at lower rates triggered somewhere in the neighborhood of hundreds of billions of extra income taxed at the one time lower rates if I understand correctly.

If someone finds the other two names, please post a link. I have a bro who patrols down there and have not heard from him in a while. A little worried and can't get ahold of him or his parents back east. Thx and condolences to friends and family.

Uh oh. Now I get mine. Run away!

Maybe time for another "Fifty Ways to Leave your lover" post?

Yo yo yo yo yo! Help a po brutha out mang! The forums are pretty funny,especially this:

Dude, I live in Fairbanks, and grew up in Georgia. Sounds like home without the accents or sweet tea.

You don't ever rap off tied slings? Jeebus, just learn to tie a freakin knot.

Thanks for the input everyone. The grilling...er, interview is Monday.

WTF? Is Diamond Dave wearing gaitors, bibs, and a beret? Go ahead Dave, JUMP! Might as well JUMP you corny bastard. My uncle met Diamond Dave in the Bahamas, early 80s. Said Dave was rumoured to be a Brokeback type among the hotel staff. Who knew? Then there's Ed Viesturs Met a pair of soap opera actor/actress in J-tree a few years ago. Couldn't tell you which show or what their names were, but the redhead chica was a SMOKIN hot aussie.

Jizzy: I think PacificCorp does own it as a subsidiary or maybe has a minority stake or something, not sure. Seems like PacCorp has a finger in everything in Utah and WA. They owned the big ass coal fired plant in Utah near Joes Valley. AFAIK, TransAlta has a mine in addition to the coal fired plant and also a hydro plant all in the Centralia area. (They also have ops in western Canada, Australia, and a few other places). EDIT: Looks like TransAlta bought it from Pac. From their site: "Acquired in 2000, TransAlta's Centralia complex includes a coal-fired power plant, a gas-fired power plant and a surface coal mine. Situated in southwest Washington, six miles from Centralia, these operations have the net capacity to generate 1,665 megawatts of electricity for the Pacific Northwest. TransAlta purchased the coal-fired power plant and mine in 2000 and added a combined-cycle natural gas generating facility in 2002. Centralia's coal-fired power plant generates enough electricity each year to supply a city about the size of Seattle. The plant has two generating units producing 1,404 megawatts, with each unit consisting of a turbine, a generator, and a boiler that burns eight tons of coal per minute. Considered a base load station, this power plant is used to offset the seasonal fluctuations in the hydro generation that supplies 70% of Washington's electrical demand. TransAlta delivers power through the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) power grid. The coal supply for this plant comes from two sources so we can blend the coal to increase the burn efficiencies in the boilers. Approximately 85% of the coal is supplied locally from our mining operation with the remaining quantity shipped to us by rail. TransAlta's work at Centralia is an example of the company's commitment to the environment in action. When TransAlta bought the plant, it agreed to uphold the recommendations of a collaborative decision-making process among key stakeholders in the area. In keeping with these recommendations, TransAlta installed US$200 million on scrubber technology, making it among the cleanest coal-fired power plants in North America." I would be doing environmental permitting/compliance/regulatory negotiations that sort of thing. Essentially what I've always done, but from the private sector side instead of govt side and with a broader reg focus (I've been involved in various sections of Clean Water Act - 401, 402, 404, this would include Air, RCRA, possibly additional state regs) .

How are you supposed to scope the babes then? And what will I do with the '79 Trans Am w/screamin' chicken hood and t-top if I caint cruise for honeys? "That what I like about high school girls, man. I get older and they stay the saaaammmme age. Alright."

Any of you spraylords happen to work for TransAlta? Have an interview coming up, and it's always good to get some inside baseball. And go ahead and spray about what a hole Centralia is. I can barely remember passing through it on the five. Think I even had breakfast at some sleazy redneck diner there once, but again not that memorable could have been Chehalis for all I know.

Try putting a fuel filter in a lesbaru sometime
