HELLO CAPITALISTS YOUR CHINESE BOSS HERE. YOU ALL FIRED.

So if someone tells a lie about a person you don't like, you will believe it?

The fact that DSK fucked a maid is irrelevant. He's French. The interesting question is, who set him up? Sarkozy? (His rival in France) or USA? (didn't like how he ran World Bank) Two potential players, very different motives, resulting in two very different interpretations of the event.

Remember Gennifer? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gennifer_Flowers She may have had sex with Clinton once, but her story of a 12-year affair was entirely funded by the Repubs

Speaking of reading slowly....? Read this VERY slowly. A white woman comes forward to accuse a black man running for political office of sexual misconduct, and, without any analysis of the white woman's past, background, or, most importantly, connection to other candidates for the contested political office, the left and right are both happy to state "That black guy is unfit for office?"

But the interesting suggestion is that it was a set-up. And now, apparently, somewhat of a botched one, except maybe not because DSK's out of his job. The bit with the security guards high-fiving each other and doing a 3-minute victory dance, AND the indication there was a male hotel employee in the suite at the same time who has refused to testify or speak to DSK's lawyers, is also quite interesting.

The $10 fleece insulated rubber-dip glove works great for climbing at temperatures above -20c. Don't rappel with them though. I wear these for climbing with an old trashed pair of insulated leather-palm shell gloves tucked in my jacket for belays and rappels. Add another pair of light leather-palm softshell glove for the approach and you're golden. Make sure you get the ones with rubber over the back knuckles so your gloves don't wet out when you touch the ice. A $10 pair will last approximately 1-3 seasons of ice (100 pitches or so) before getting trashed in my experience.

Out of curiosity, why are you only going to climb AlpineMonkey on Friday?

I won one of the "identify this climber" contests. Sadly my tricam pic didn't win. The winning pic wasn't even of a tricam! It was of a chockstone. But since I won one I don't feel the need to complain.

I won one too.

as an aside, i though i recall from my boy scout days that it is in fact disrespectful to turn a flag into a piece of apparel? Abby Hoffmann caught a lot of shit for his American flag shirt in the early 70s.

i'd die of sweating if I wore all that shit at once at 30f and probably even at -30f!

So we're up to Version 6.1 these days. See attachment. Somewhere over 100 new routes now. I suspect there are a number of unreported routes out there too. So even if you know of some old route from years gone by that isn't mentioned here or in WCI, let me know about it. Blueserac: Vancouver Island's out of guidebook coverage range for this bulletin but I should be up there (Woss area) next week and will report back on conditions. 4522.pdf

Mr Kruk describes it as a one-jacket-does-anything piece... and he's been putting one through the paces for a while now. Of course, since he's a sponsored athlete, he's not exactly gonna tell you the Brand X shell is better. It seems to be highly windproof, but apparently gets wet in the rain eventually like any softshell... Anyways, I wouldn't wear a windshirt over this, or under it. If I had to it would fail its job. http://blog.jasonkruk.net/ Scroll down to Sep 7 post.

So none of you guys figure Cain is getting swiftboated by the other Repubs? all of these women are legit, none are character assassins hired/prepared/bankrolled by another Repub?

so far, that we know of.

Having skied Thermogenesis under a full moon on New Year Eve a few years back, I can't tell you how much fun it is. And that's important, since the best route on Rainier is the one having the most fun.

So is the place where they wire up these things a buggery?

FW is qualified to fuck a pig.

How can a dead theorist explain something they never saw or experienced? What does Aristotle have to say about cell phones?

Hayek, Friedman, Marx, Keynes... these guys are all in the past. Dead theorists. History. Over. Obsolete. Ideology over substance. Kind of like promulgating the ideas of Mao or Jesus or Mohammed. Stale. Past the best before date. Archaic. Old. Most of all, incomplete and wrong. What about guys like Daley or Victor who are still alive?

Hello Syria!

The GPS feature on cell phones will only work when you can communicate with a cell tower. News flash: You can get sat GPS in higher end phones.

Watches are 20th century technology. Any modern phone will do all of this and do it better and not sit on your wrist to get chomped by rocks when you fist jam.
