  1. No, there was a team of two ahead of us. One of those guys did on the second ice step right below the transition back to snow.

    Live 8

    Bono is a media whore, getting rich by selling lame pop albums.
  3. Here's the pic MikeG posted of the Kautz Glacier Chute. This must have been Monday. We were up there Sunday morning and turned around above the chute at 12,400 ft and went back down.

    Live 8

    Live 8 stars to get $4,000 goodie bags 15:43 AEST Fri Jul 1 2005 AP - Live 8 performers are playing for free, but local organisers plan to shower the celebrities with a Hugo Boss duffel bag loaded with high-fashion trinkets valued at about $4,000 They'll also be able to add to their goodie bags with big-ticket items including Hugo Boss suits, valued at $1,000 to $1,310 each; XM satellite radios and subscriptions, $655; Gibson guitars, $2,600; Bertolucci watches, valued between $2,000 and $7,900; and other items. In all, a celebrity could walk away with a bag of gifts worth as much as $15,700 "We want this to be a thank-you to the celebrities who are giving up their time and energies," said Nicole Cashman, whose firm was tapped by Larry Magid's Electric Factory Concerts to put the bags together. One ethicist said it was peculiar that the rich gifts are being offered at a concert whose aim is bringing attention to poverty in Africa. "It's not unethical, but it falls into the middle gray zone," Loyola Marymount University business and ethics professor Thomas White told The Philadelphia Inquirer. "Because on one hand the motivation is to help other people, while on the other hand the motivation is to help yourself, and that doesn't seem to go hand in hand." Another ethics expert said he wonders why the companies who donated the gifts wouldn't just give the money to charity. "There is nothing stopping the businesses from taking a stand, saying, 'No, we are going to take this money, and we are going to give it to the charity,"' said Rushworth M. Kidder, president of the Institute for Global Ethics in Camden, Maine.
  5. Unfortunately, I'm one of those. I start getting a headache around 7000 feet or so. It takes me a couple days to acclimate to Ouray, CO (7800 ft). I was also a subject in chamber experiments researching AMS. In both trials at a simulated 12,500 ft, I came out after 6 hrs feeling deathly ill. Andrew can attest to that. And to repeat, the assertion that conditioning and AMS are related is macho BS. Read the medical literature.
  6. Hell, I had to pay for some guy $60 to break into my car last weekend.
  7. Apparently, that's not the only thing he has blown.
  8. Cut em off if you don't use em.
  9. There's also Tap Plastics near Mercer and Westlake.
  10. Agua Verde. Cod tacos and a side of Raspberry Slaw.

  16. Hey, '80's flashback! Remember when Japan was going to buy the US?
  17. Dearest Marie, Not everyone lives in Seattle or Redmond. My grandparent's house sold for $27k in a small town in Arkansas, and my father's house sold for $43k in suburban Houston, Texas.
