Yep, there's no hope for you my friend. Better home in on one of those elusive trustafarian climber chicks.

Somehow I find irony in the juxtaposition of "honest" and "drilled pockets"

Mike, I'm in the same fucking boat mate. Either you can get her back or not, you probably know by now if that's possible. The question you've gotta ask is: If she can't tolerate the climbing and you being away now, are you willing to cut back? There is no other way. For me the answer was no. You may smooth it over for a while, but eventually the ice will be in phat for two weeks solid (gotta get on it while it's in), then you'll be honed from the 16 consecutive days on ice and you'll get a once in a lifetime invite for a secret FA...which of course you'll have to accept, after that you come home sucessful and rest and celebrate trying to get your head straight from the intensity of the FA, she thinks you're being "distant", the success from the FA leads to an invite to Alaska. You come home after doing a big Alaskan route in a push and find a note on the door and your shit piled in the garage.... Could be for the best in the long run. As for me, I've got a date Thurs. And I've come to the conclusion that being a 30 yr old ripped climber dude with a graduate degree, making good money, with no kids, no previous marriages, no prison time, and not bad looking to boot, is in pretty high demand among the ladies.

I heard a bit of an interview with this lady on NPR late last week. They were talking about Allison Hargreves (sp?), and the author definitely seemed to "not get it". They also made some mention of how climbing was THE "it" thing right now. Made me slightly nauseous...too many already, don't encourage them. Need more people sitting on ass eating chips, not more people clogging da hillz. We need to colloborate with Mountain Dew and promote full-on DIRT RAPPELLING as the new extreme sport. The Mounties could help get it going. Aussie-style dirt rapping, EXTREEEEMMM!! That way the influx of people would stay on the 3rd class choss and eventually kick rocks on each other, break a few bones, and move on to the next "hot" extreeeeeeeemmmm sport.

Mary Lunatic: I know you union workers make a decent wage, but you seem to be a little short on cash. I just mailed you a check for $12.95 so you can... 1. Buy a clue 2. Stop off at Wal Mart and buy a can of STFU You want to cite some other media that conflicts with the US media accounts of the events? Or you just want to be bitter and continue to make an ass out of yourself? Stick with your talents I guess...

Hey Scott, can you send me one of thoses cigars? I need to roll a blunt Just kidding man, congratulations! Looks like she's ready for the alpine in that second pic

Lance, you must be climbing at Red Rocks or sumpin...oh wait, you are

Met two 50+ year old dudes in the desert a few years ago who were still onsighting 5.12 cracks...

I've got Lambone's old pair, I like 'em alot. Good for exactly what you describe...all arounder that can handle whatever you want to throw at them. Simple, functional, and cheap. Unless you've got money to burn, or are climbing strictly difficult water ice or mixed, I don't see why you'd need any more tool than this. I'd love a pair of Cobras, but I'm not shelling out the loot for them...not until those college loans are paid off anyway.

I read this recently in another magazine...Harpers or something..can't remember. Really a sad state of affairs, hopefully the publicity will help him. Living in a fucking airport would make me insane in short order too!

Well, a mix of metal halides for growth and hps for flowering works well. If heat and/or ballast noise are a concern you can get 48" fluorescent tubes that are full spectrum for about $12 each and have blue/red in one source. I'm not referring to the "plant growth" bulbs which are usually really pricey and put out less light, but rather the phillips or GE plain old "full spectrum". Of couse it would take a bank of about 6 or 8 of those tubes to put out the same light as a 400w. Another way is to use a bank of fluorescents with alternating bluish and reddish bulbs, ex: warm white(redder) and daylight or cool white (bluer). What the manufacturers call a "daylight" bulb is not even close to real daylight...their bulbs are around 6500k...the photographic std for "daylight" i.e. how films are rated, the light temp for lightboxes, is 5000k. Now that's thread drift.

Catbird, You know it's getting to you when the day you're most looking forward to is Dec 22nd. It's marked prominently on my calendar. The upside is, the sun is always so low in the sky that when it is daylight, the light is that sweet golden "photographers light" that most folks only get during the first and last hour of the day. And with all the ice crystals in the air you get some cool atmospheric phenomena like the 21 degree halos around the sun...which combined with a sunset make for some nice views from my desk.

Here's a couple of shots from each side off summitpost...not the best but gives you an idea anyway.

CAPTION: MisterE's surfing for gay porn yielded queer results again

Yeah Pete, I can "here" it too: "Oh Will, we beg of you, please lay your infinite wisdom upon us, so that we might see the light" Trask, three words: pot kettle black. Mr. E, It's amazing how those 400w HPS lights simulate the sun. Add the right greenery and it feels like a tropical island...Jamaica. We had right at 4hrs sun today. Amazing sunset from my office window at 2:45pm.

The environmental organization is charged with "sailor mongering," an obscure 1872 antipiracy law ARRRRR!!!!

Credentials don't mean squat Pete...take Mr. Shrub for example, he's got dick for credentials and he's the Prez And my hoops team can beat your hoops team I gave you stats from an unbiased source re: the election. And I do believe that my EXPERIENCE as an environmental engineer in the regulatory field has bearing on my ability to assess the value of an administration's environmental policy. College chestbeating was an offtopic ramble/spray against cracked. I think O'Reilly might be coming on soon, you better go turn on the tele. Oh yeah, Rupert Murdoch called and asked what was keeping you....said to tell you it's time for you to get back to slobbering on his sack. Buh Bye now shillboy

Exactly, we didn't have "minor" per-se, but most schools do and it only confuses people to try to explain how you could essentially minor by getting a certif, but it wasn't required. I took something like 22 credits of Econ. Fuckin E-Mag and DiffEqs baby! Super weedout classes. Every math TA spoke about 3 words of english and with horrible accents. Guy to girl ratio of 7:1. You could smell the Varsity restaurant from campus. Junior's Grill! The North Ave bum-toll bridge! Steam whistle for class changes. Creepy ass third street tunnel...never knew what you'd find in there. Walking up the hill everyday and that stupid ass Mickey Mouse clock on the Skiles Bldg. I was back on campus about 5 months ago...scary how it's changed.

Pete, you're a right-wing shill. I work in ennvironmental protection and regulation, 5 years at US EPA Region IV in CWA NPDES Enforcement, currently with US Army Corp of Engineers Regulatory Office (404 Wetlands issues/permitting & Sec 10 work in navigable waterways,). To posture as if Bush has done some great service to the environment is absurd even for you. We could get into a long debate about the whole credits system, the history of the CAA, and the intention of credits / why credits came to be in the first place, but I'd rather do actual work on the environment than argue with you about it.

Damn! 118 reviews? Mostly funny, but a bit repetitive. And what's with these new bands who call themselves punk? They're about as punk as the Monkees. I saw a personals add in the paper in Fairbanks the other day, I'll post that shizz if I can find it. I had tears rolling reading this thing....

Glassgowkiss might be your best bet for good info on this condition...and there are some MDs on this site as well. You might PM him directly, if he doesn't scare you off with his spray-rage, he's probably got good input due to his line of work.

Actually, I'd say that was knowing how fucking hard that school was and that anyone who could get through it in good fashion could certainly handle any of the job requirements easily. I'm not talking flag waving, football fan fantics in the alumni association. Either way, I got the job
