  1. Maybe he just has ragin' hemorhoids and no Prep H, or enjoys Mexican
  2. If nobody here knows who the owner is, look at the County website. Most counties have their tax maps online and you should be able to access the owner info there. An address will help alot. Lane county's tax maps are at http://www.co.lane.or.us/taxmap/TaxMapSelect.asp You may have to download the viewer
  3. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Thailand
  4. Reminds me of some Primus: I was just a little pup and it was derloy day Was dad and me and Darrell out in San Pablo bay Taco flavored Doritos and my orange life vest Dad caught a hundred pound sturgeon on twenty-pound test Now he fought that fish for 'bout an hour and a half Darrell'd say "Jump ya sons a bitch!" as he grabbed for the gaff When we got him in the boat he measured six feet long I was so danged impressed I had to write a this song called Fish on!
  5. Another look at it in late summer conditions with no snow/ice in the cleft/chimney/gully
  6. Maybe the ladies can have discussions like this one in their private forum:Climbing in a Thong? That would be cool as long as they post pics of them modeling said thongs.
  7. Don't get me wrong, I won't be voting for him, but I think he's doing what any sitting president would do. He is emphasizing his leadership during a time of crisis. Not "what I would do" or "what should be done" but what he actually did. I'm still voting for Kerry.
  8. Right of the existing route 5000ft of ice anybody?
  9. And "Does men prefer girl climbing hard?"
  10. Here's an idea: If you need to commiserate with other ladies, go here Climbr Grrrls Pillowfight Hour Where the current topics include: "Damn boobies" "Climbing clothes for the ladies" "Ever stayed with SO because of climbing?" "Deodorant" "Common climber guy names" "weight perceptions and gender" I'm not making these up, go look for your self.
  11. Icegirl you need to be more like Bush, a uniter not a divider.
  12. From prolotherapy.com: Prolotherapy is helpful for what conditions? The treatment is useful for many different types of musculoskeletal pain, including arthritis, back pain, neck pain, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, unresolved whiplash injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic tendonitis, partially torn tendons, ligaments and cartilage, degenerated or herniated discs, TMJ and sciatica. What is prolotherapy? First, it is important to understand what the word prolotherapy itself means. "Prolo" is short for proliferation, because the treatment causes the proliferation (growth, formation) of new ligament tissue in areas where it has become weak. Ligaments are the structural "rubber bands" that hold bones to bones in joints. Ligaments can become weak or injured and may not heal back to their original strength or endurance. This is largely because the blood supply to ligaments is limited, and therefore healing is slow and not always complete. To further complicate this, ligaments also have many nerve endings and therefore the person will feel pain at the areas where the ligaments are damaged or loose. Tendons are the name given to tissue which connects muscles to bones, and in the same manner tendons may also become injured, and cause pain. Prolotherapy uses a dextrose (sugar water) solution, which is injected into the ligament or tendon where it attaches to the bone. This causes a localized inflammation in these weak areas which then increases the blood supply and flow of nutrients and stimulates the tissue to repair itself. Historical review shows that a version of this technique was first used by Hippocrates on soldiers with dislocated, torn shoulder joints. He would stick a hot poker into the joint, and it would then miraculously heal normally. Of course, we don’t use hot pokers today, but the principle is similar—get the body to repair itself, an innate ability that the body has. How long will it take to complete a course of treatments? The response to treatment varies from individual to individual, and depends upon one's healing ability. Some people may only need a few treatments while others may need 10 or more. The average number of treatments is 4-6 for an area treated. The best thing to do is get an evaluation by a trained physician to see if you are an appropriate candidate. Once you begin treatment, your doctor can tell better how you are responding and give you an accurate estimate.
  13. Can you give the full name for this "prolo" thing? I don't read the R&I shizz, and would like to do some research.
  14. No Shit. I said this because it would be difficult, but not impossible. Provisions like I suggested where the Canadian authorities could deny access to their transmission infrastructure (essentially by disconnecting/shutting it off from the Canadian substation where it ties in) if the environmental constraints were not achieved would be possible. And exactly why is that? If the tie-in is on Canadian soil, and permit conditions provide for it as a consequence of not meeting enviro standards, there is no way the US could stop them from removing/shutting off the connection. Cruise missles? Don't be a melodrama queen!
  15. Maybe so if the engine seizes the torque won't rip a section of the wing off, but shear the bolts instead, thereby saving hundreds of lives...
  16. All you need is a retro Vespa and some dope threads Luke!
  17. Here's the thing though...If they (Sumas) can find a way to sell the output of that plant, say to B-ham or Northern ID or somewhere, you Canyukers will still get the pollution in the airshed, and presumably have to pony up (through rate hikes or other means) for the cost of more power generation infrastructure to supply your needs. Keeping the cash-flow within Canada would be desirable, so I can dig that angle, but the pollution angle is questionable. Natural gas fired plants are a relatively clean source in the grand scheme. I'd think the wise thing would be to approve it with a shitload of special conditions that would dictate the pollution control equipment, allowable emissions, and a means of enforcement by Canadian officials rather than allowing the US EPA to be the enforcement authority. This could be difficult because of the physical location of the plant being in the US. However, the spec conditions could simply have the supply shut off at the Canandian substation if the plant failed to meet the conditions. I'm also curious as to the details of this pollution loading. Specifically a breakdown by pollutant and mass. I've seen enviro groups cite many things as "pollutants" which are arguably not. I work in the environmental regulatory field, and am pro-enviro, but there is hype from both sides.
  18. I didn't know the WWF was in Seattle last night!
  19. I think you would do a fine job Luke. BUT, HOW MANY FUCKING MODERATORS DO WE NEED? Is like a club now or what? You have been selected by the secret society to become a member of the "stick up your ass club".
  20. Epsom salts (MgSO4)
  21. I think that's a reflection of the fractional nature of the Dem party, not Kerry specifically. It's a party cobbled together from a bunch of separate smaller issue groups...enviros, gay/lesbian, social liberals, union, etc. It's not a really cohesive power base. Clinton pulled it off because he was an almost dead in the middle centrist and that reflects the views of the general population pretty well. Mondale is a poor comparison I think, mainly because he ran against Regan who in '84 was not a particularly unpopular President. He also ran with a woman on the ticket.
  22. Yes, you are. I suggest stick a flaming bowling pin up your ass and running around the local 7-11 chanting "Vote for Bush, Rummy is King, all hail Haliburton"
  23. Way homo sperm burpers from Fresno
  24. Yeah, but who cares about the grade anyway...the coolest thing about that video is that is plays like a spoof of Hard Grit until he actually starts climbing.
  25. No, because British 7b is about French 8b. Depending on which table you look at it's given as between 5.13+ and mid 5.14.
