Coinciding with this extreme long shot coincidence, possibly totally unrelated: Second drilling rig overturns in Louisiana 30 Apr 2010 20:50:22 GMT Source: Reuters HOUSTON, April 30 (Reuters) - The U.S. Coast Guard said Friday it was responding to another oil drilling rig accident near Morgan City, Louisiana. The "mobile inland drilling unit" overturned in the Charenton navigational channel south of U.S. Highway 90 at Morgan City. (Reporting by Bruce Nichols)

I couldn't make this stuff up if I wanted too: "May 1, 2010 US Orders Blackout Over North Korean Torpedoing Of Gulf Of Mexico Oil Rig By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers A grim report circulating in the Kremlin today written by Russia’s Northern Fleet is reporting that the United States has ordered a complete media blackout over North Korea’s torpedoing of the giant Deepwater Horizon oil platform owned by the World’s largest offshore drilling contractor Transocean that was built and financed by South Korea’s Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd., that has caused great loss of life, untold billions in economic damage to the South Korean economy, and an environmental catastrophe to the United States. Most important to understand about this latest attack by North Korea against its South Korean enemy is that under the existing “laws of war” it was a permissible action as they remain in a state of war against each other due to South Korea’s refusal to sign the 1953 Armistice ending the Korean War. To the attack itself, these reports continue, the North Korean “cargo vessel” Dai Hong Dan believed to be staffed by 17th Sniper Corps “suicide” troops left Cuba’s Empresa Terminales Mambisas de La Habana (Port of Havana) on April 18th whereupon it “severely deviated” from its intended course for Venezuela’s Puerto Cabello bringing it to within 209 kilometers (130 miles) of the Deepwater Horizon oil platform which was located 80 kilometers (50 miles) off the coast of the US State of Louisiana where it launched an SSC Sang-o Class Mini Submarine (Yugo class) estimated to have an operational range of 321 kilometers (200 miles). On the night of April 20th the North Korean Mini Submarine manned by these “suicidal” 17th Sniper Corps soldiers attacked the Deepwater Horizon with what are believed to be 2 incendiary torpedoes causing a massive explosion and resulting in 11 workers on this giant oil rig being killed outright. Barely 48 hours later, on April 22nd , this North Korean Mini Submarine committed its final atrocity by exploding itself directly beneath the Deepwater Horizon causing this $1 Billion oil rig to sink beneath the seas and marking 2010’s celebration of Earth Day with one of the largest environmental catastrophes our World has ever seen. To the reason for North Korea attacking the Deepwater Horizon, these reports say, was to present US President Obama with an “impossible dilemma” prior to the opening of the United Nations Review Conference of the Parties to the Treat on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) set to begin May 3rd in New York. This “impossible dilemma” facing Obama is indeed real as the decision he is faced with is either to allow the continuation of this massive oil leak catastrophe to continue for months, or immediately stop it by the only known and proven means possible, the detonation of a thermonuclear device. Russian Navy atomic experts in these reports state that should Obama choose the “nuclear option” the most viable weapon at his disposal is the United States B83 (Mk-83) strategic thermonuclear bomb having a variable yield (Low Kiloton Range to 1,200 Kilotons) which with its 12 foot length and 18 inch diameter, and weighing just over 2,400 pounds, is readily able to be deployed and detonated by a remote controlled mini-sub. Should Obama choose the “nuclear option” it appears that he would be supported by the International Court of Justice who on July 8, 1996 issued an advisory opinion on the use of nuclear weapons stating that they could not conclude definitively on these weapons use in “extreme circumstances” or “self defense”. On the other hand, if Obama chooses the “nuclear option” it would leave the UN’s nuclear conference in shambles with every Nation in the World having oil rigs off their coasts demanding an equal right to atomic weapons to protect their environment from catastrophes too, including Iran. To whatever decision Obama makes it remains a fact that with each passing hour this environmental catastrophe grows worse. And even though Obama has ordered military SWAT teams to protect other oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico from any further attack, and further ordered that all drilling in the Gulf of Mexico be immediately stopped, this massive oil spill has already reached the shores of America and with high waves and more bad weather forecast the likelihood of it being stopped from destroying thousands of miles of US coastland and wildlife appears unstoppable. And not just to the environmental catastrophe that is unfolding the only devastation to be wrecked upon the United States and South Korea by this North Korean attack as the economic liabilities associated with this disaster are estimated by these Russian reports to be between $500 Billion to $1.5 Trillion, and which only a declaration of this disaster being an “act of war” would free some the World’s largest corporations from bankruptcy. Important to note too in all of these events was that this was the second attack by North Korea on its South Korean enemy, and US ally, in a month as we had reported on in our March 28th report titled “Obama Orders ‘Immediate Stand-down’ After Deadly North Korean Attack” and which to date neither the Americans or South Korea have retaliated for and giving one senior North Korean party leader the courage to openly state that the North Korean military took “gratifying revenge” on South Korea. And for those believing that things couldn’t get worse, they couldn’t be more mistaken as new reports coming from Japanese military sources are stating that North Korea is preparing for new launches of its 1,300 kilometer (807 miles) intermediate range ballistic “Rodong” missile which Russian Space Forces experts state is able to “deploy and detonate” an atomic electromagnetic pulse (EMP) device, and which if detonated high in the atmosphere could effectively destroy the American economy for years, if not decades, to come. © May 1, 2010 EU and US all rights reserved [Ed. Note: Western governments and their intelligence services actively campaign against the information found in these reports so as not to alarm their citizens about the many catastrophic Earth changes and events to come, a stance that the Sisters of Sorcha Faal strongly disagrees with in believing that it is every human beings right to know the truth. Due to our missions conflicts with that of those governments, the responses of their ‘agents’ against us has been a longstanding misinformation/misdirection campaign designed to discredit and which is addressed in the report “Who Is Sorcha Faal?”.]" I give it little credence, but stranger things have happened.

Looks like a great trip and super time. I especially like the lack of bolts in your pics so that Dwayner doesn't show up spraying about how all the routes are bolted blah blah. What was the longest route you climbed Chris? ________________________________________________________________ Not much to say on Lord AW's bit except that it's right on the money as a period piece and I foresee a knighthood for this kind of writing. opps, nevermind my question, all I had to do was click the link and read it which I did. ".....the route checked in at III+, 5.11- A0, 2300'. Most of the climbing is super easy and the cruxes are all well bolted. The rock is excellent. The views are amazing. Serious fun! " "......about 1000 ft of high quality sport climbing up a steep wall with a brilliant crux pitch up sporting awesome exposure." ...."I climbed more than 90 pitches over 9 separate climbing days while I was there..." ....."7 pitches and 700 feet to the top of the ridge. " Awesome......just awesome, thanks for sharing it with us. -
I made it this far agreeing and thinking I need to try harder to stop being like that. I got here and went....Uhhh....whaaa....oh? Me? ........whoh....W00t! LOL LCK!

Fail: nothing a quick re-read of Jayb's post won't fix though there Prole.

True dat, and after that, we really need to be committing that money to solid early childhood education and tutoring/headstart programs if not sooner. ..and stop being the worlds policemen too....walking around bossing everyone around.

I have no idea, I haven't even read the law like you have. As far as the big gov't thing, the Obama admin are spending $55,000,000,000 (billion) on security so they probably are at least keeping an eye on you and your kind for that kind of money I'd bet. Of course, most of that money is getting borrowed from the Chinese, so that you can spend the rest of your lifetime paying extra taxes and digging out of that hole. Congrats! Oh, you really don't get security for that 55 billion either, as terrorists can pretty much still cross the Mexican or Canadian border. With more difficulty though. All I know for sure, is that the border states have been screeching like zombie harpies for well over 10-15 years asking the feds to address this issue and coincidentally, here is today's news for your further consideration and edjumacation: "Obama: Congress may not tackle immigration soon Associated Press Posted on April 29, 2010 at 1:02 AM WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says there "may not be an appetite" in Congress to deal with immigration immediately after going through a tough legislative year. With energy legislation on the table and midterm elections approaching, Obama said Wednesday he didn't want to force an immigration bill through Congress "just for the sake of politics." Still, he said discussions on the issue must move forward in a way that can garner the support of the American people. "We've gone though a very tough year and I've been working Congress very hard, so I know there may not be an appetite immediately to dive into another controversial issue," the president told reporters aboard Air Force One returning with him to Washington from a Midwest trip. The issue of immigration bubbled to the surface in recent weeks after Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed a controversial bill into law requiring local and state law enforcement to question people about their immigration status if there's reason to suspect they're in the country illegally. The law also makes it a state crime to be in the U.S. illegally. Obama has sharply criticized the law, asking the Justice Department to look into whether it violates civil rights. On Wednesday, he said he understands the frustrations of people in Arizona who are faced with thousands of immigrants coming into their state illegally, but he said the state's new immigration law would only end up polarizing the debate over reform. "What I think is a mistake is when we start having local law enforcement officials given the power to stop people on the suspicions that they may be undocumented workers," Obama told reporters. "That carries a great amount of risk." The president said that while he believed he could get a majority of Democrats to support immigration reform, he still needs help from Republicans. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had talked about moving immigration ahead of climate change legislation, a suggestion that splintered bipartisan support for the climate bill. Then Reid said Tuesday he was willing to bring up climate change legislation ahead of an immigration bill, but Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., was still angry that Reid considered putting off the climate bill. Reid said the long-delayed climate bill "is much further down the road in terms of a product" than the immigration measure, which remains unwritten. An immigration proposal by three Democratic senators calls for more federal enforcement agents and other border security-tightening benchmarks before illegal immigrants could become legal U.S. residents, according to a draft of the legislation obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press. The bill is being developed by Reid of Nevada, Chuck Schumer of New York and Robert Menendez of New Jersey."

True dat.....at least I could understand your post. I'm in the dark on this one below....

uhhh, take a cleansing breath Off....could just be and attempt at satire there..... BTW, until we get it figured out weather Arizona should be enforcing the federal laws like they say this is all they are doing, I'm not going to the Grand Canyon and staying home eating my Freedom Fries. I wasn't going there anyway of course. Buying Wired Bliss cams is fine as they are not part of the boycott, however.

OK, bring it! Nice TR! Glad you had (relatively) good weather too! -
LOL Gene. The WB are the 6061-T6 softer alum material (bet I screwed that up) that aliens are made of. Everyone else uses the harder alum. They also have a gentle cam angle like the Metolius, meaning that they stick like hell. The downside? Don't last as long and less range. Life is about trade offs. ______________________________________________________________ ...you don't have to drive down there Josh K, they will ship.

Hey, I already apologized for that Pat! This thread is warming up.....I'll be over here watching.

You go girl, he's probably a closet Bush voting right winger utilizing these tired regressive rhetorical tricks. Is it time to bring out the "he's a Nazi" argument, salute the flag and march off into the distance as a group still burning our torches?

Get some. It looks to me like the Moses stuff is every bit as good as the Leeper cam hooks. http://mosesclimbing.com/cam-hooks/ I've found that what Theron describes on the site is right on the money truth: the 2 middle sizes most useful, but if you are climbing at Smith or other soft rock, the large one is mfg out of aluminum and will help to not destroy the rock and should be utilized every chance you get. For thin cracks, put them on the biners that are on your aiders and you can crack jug, left right left right, dropping in a piece of real pro (nuts camz etc) here and there when your nards shink up. # Narrow # Wide # Extra Wide/ Fragile Flake all good. The smallest one is a rare placement and if it never existed no one would probably notice it. Now that I've said that, someone will pop in and say that the crux on XXX route is one of the damn things LOL!

Not hardly. This is one of those "momma always said it takes 2 to tango" things. Most under reported story of the decade: former Cat had made the mistake of criticizing the Saudi government and in response the Wahhabi Muftis had pronounced a Fatwa on his ass for chanting religious verse's. Youssuf Islam (former Cat) avoided the Saudi country for some time. All that talk of swinging a dead Cat would have been right at home here as the Muftis and the Saudi religious police would have rammed the Peace Train up his converted ass san's lube. But they made up and moved on, which is a damned good thing, as he's since come out with some very UN-Islamic songs that would have upped the Fatwa anti.

Get in line bitches. "1995 prices that we are doing for the launch. We are about 10 dollars cheaper than Metolius which is the closest competitor. You are already a fan I am sure and you will be getting the same great Wired Bliss cams from before. Made in the USA, high quality, no compromises. The website had a short set back but should be up soon. Our shopping cart will be done through PayPal. We can take your order with straight PayPal at wiredbliss@usa.com. This will give you the option of payment types and the security and confidence of a great money processing company." Just call the phone number for now, suppose to open @ May 1st, it's a work in progress, this stuff is a lot of work, so be patient with them. http://www.wiredblissusa.com/ "Wired Bliss is still in Flagstaff, Arizona as it has been from the beginning. Wired Bliss is committed to local suppliers and Made in the USA. Wired Bliss is returning with the same high quality Original TCUs and Quad cams. Wired Bliss will remain a small company directly connected to the climbing community offing the best TCUs without gimmicks. The Original TCU Smooth as Butter Quality Made in the USA Carbon Neutral" oh, and this of course: "William, thank you for being the first customer of the Wired Bliss return." LOL!
