Julio is going to college? Communications? Wow! Bet Edison College is proud. First he gets his own song, and now he talks to the president. Song: [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqg9_wwQUNg What is that song about anyway? Probably shouldn't ask.

It's Antleaf...one word. Your welcome

OMG thats funny. Never heard it before and I'm in my 50s! Thanks for sharing it. Dons funeral was today. Just a matter of time till we join him. All of us. My dad died of a brain tumor when I was 18 months old, you'd think modern science.... ...damn..

I'd think that a July trip would be the best time. Days are longer and given the snow (lack of) this year, should be plenty clear. You might be lucky and get it in a 3 day trip. Day 1 to the Lake and scope route. Day 2 up (and down to the lake for a quiet evenings sleep), or up and an evening out on a ledge, then back to camp and hike out the next day. Proud stuff for sure. Those guys were tough.

In this photo of the fearsome West Face of the Matterhorn, photographer Dave Jensen has kindly marked his routes. Think mid-70's, pitons and chocks. I'd have a bolt kit tucked away for an emergency. Trying it in a day would be a worthy project.

Last year at this time, there was so much snow that after it closed the road in October it got so high that it eventually covered and wiped out the road cam 20' up on the pole at tombstone: 4400 feet elevation. The snow hit so hard the 4 wheel drive got stuck and we finished by walked in for this quick pic in early October. When I finally got back up there in July this is what it looked like still. This year, sitting in my office gazing longingly at the road cam, I can shockingly still see the road and its February yet! Early access to remote areas is awesome, but it's gonna suck later in the year for power, lawn watering and Fall Chinook.

Damn, I was looking forward to swimming under the ocean....

... not all labs can be National Champions but they all tend to be good performers Brad....

...and then getting laid. Yeah, that works. ...full sequence, drink, sex, cigarette. So drinking causes sex. (hopefully)

You get around!

Looking for a place to post this.

Hard to argue against that Scott, so I won't, but it's also hard to argue with folks who vote against this kind of rough treatment by NOT buying Kellogg products. Besides, everyone knows swimmers are party animals. If they tossed off all the high school kids who I personally knew who drank (some smoked out as well) at after swim meet parties, the pools would be empty. That doesn't mean you can't yell at them when you catch them doing it (like Kelloggs is doing here) : that's what I did to my daughter when she swam. It's all about choice. If they want to they can toss him aside like a used Kleenex as a spokesman just like Patagonia did Dean Potter, it's their money. I don't have a big problem either way myself. I can understand their position. I also appreciate the company's that stay loyal as well. Consumers can, and will, choose how they feel about all this as well. It does seem like rough treatment, a bit over the top. IMO Pot should not be illegal, nor should prostitution - we waste millions of dollars of resources on prosecuting and incarcerating otherwise good people who are harming no one.

Chalk dust is bad for your lungs. Banz it BANZ it!

Short version, the Hot Chicks, not use to losing anything but their virginity, lose. http://www.thesmokinggun.com ""Douchebags" Lawsuit Dismissed New Jersey judge dumps defamation claim filed by three "Hot Chicks" FEBRUARY 10--A New Jersey judge has dismissed a defamation lawsuit filed by three women whose photos appeared in the book "Hot Chicks with Douchebags." In an amusing February 6 opinion, Superior Court Judge Menelaos Toskos ruled that author Jay Louis's 2008 book was "replete with obvious attempts at satirical humor," and that the inclusion of the women's photographs were "used for humorous social commentary." Toskos, who reported that he "carefully scrutinized" the Simon & Schuster title, pointed to several passages showing that the book was obviously satirical. "For example," Toskos wrote, "how can a person reasonably believe that in 1981 archaeologist Renee Emile Bellaqua uncovered in a cave in Gali Israel a highly controversial Third Century religious scroll suggesting that the "douchey/hotty" coupling was a troublesome facet in early social religious structures?" The 60-year-old jurist also questioned whether a reasonable person could "believe that Jean-Paul Sartre stated 'man is condemned to be douchey because once thrown into the world he is responsible for every douchey thing that he does.'" Last October, Yvette Gorzelany, Joanna Obiedzinski, and Paulina Pakos sued over their appearance in the "Douchebags" book (the women had been photographed in mid-2007 while clubbing at Bliss Lounge in Clifton). As seen below, Obiedzinski (left) and Gorzelany are pictured in Louis's book with a man representing the "Federbag" subspecies of douchebag. A photo of Pakos is included in a chapter offering men various "de-douchification" tips. " (11 more clickable and interesting pages follow)

Maybe the thing to do is to also support those who stuck with Michael Phelphs? As of last August: A look at Michael Phelps' sponsors Posted 8/18/2008 4:29 PM Here's a look at the sponsors of American swimmer Michael Phelps, according to his agents. They declined to specify the value of the deals. Speedo USA - maker of swimsuits, a licensed brand of the Warnaco Group Inc. Visa Inc. - the credit card company Omega - luxury watchmaker that is a unit of Swatch Group AG Hilton Hotels Corp. - hotel chain FIND MORE STORIES IN: Internet | Switzerland | Michael Phelps | Octagon | Kellogg Co | Omega | Frosted Flakes | Nestle SA | Eggo | PowerBar | PureSport | Cheez-Its PowerBar - nutrition bar made by Swiss chocolate maker Nestle SA. AT&T Inc. - communications provider Kellogg Co. - maker of Frosted Flakes, Cheez-Its and Eggo waffles Rosetta Stone Ltd. - language learning software maker PureSport - sports performance beverage, made by Human Performance Labs SwimRoom.com - Internet site for swimmers Source: Sports and entertainment marketing company Octagon. However, I look bad in a speedo and don't need the other stuff. I guess I could start dringing PureSport.

That and the parents need to keep better watch over their kid. They couldn't see a condom on the floor? They didn't see him pick it up till he was done gargling the jizz? Yuk! That's disgusting. Wonder if it's like the mouse in the coke bottle thing, where people were putting them inside to make a buck off Coke until Coke started suing and prosecuting them. Then it just stopped like that. Hope the police do a DNA test to eliminate that possibility.

That's too bad. Dubai has been a normal country and friend of the US in a region full of questionable countries. I'd seen the stories where they'd had to curtail their ambitious building plans as oil prices have dropped, looks like a big double whammy due to the credit markets as well. Real estate story: Link Jayb: as you were the only one around here who consistently put your money where your mouth was on overvalued real estate prices due for a downturn, I'd be greatly interested in what you see in your crystal ball going forward based on current news (stimulus package, fed interest rates near 0, etc etc) Plus, what do you think of storing some money in a foreign currency to offset a potential dollar drop?

I don't recognize the shotgun, it looks classic for sure: but it looks like dinner is at your house! Good looking dog. Part of the master race I'll bet. todays news PETA dresses up like KKK

Here you go: Here they are. Thank you for the huge contribution! I never got to climb with Don, but I did with many people that he introduced to the game at Clackamas CC, including my current main partner Ujahn. They all, without exception, were very skilled for the amount of time they had been climbing, a testament to Dons skill as a teacher.

They're called Beavertails and are a common sight on classic 1911 style .45s although they've been adapted to others pistols. They serve the dual purpose of cradling your hand so that your grip improves, and also helps keep your hand from being slammed by the slide as it comes back after firing. The little bump which is a continuation of that on the handle acts as a safety, and the gun won't fire unless that's depressed. Heres my son on a shoot last summer. With an Emile Zola 12 ga over under. Got any pretty shotgun pics?

I have to keep something in my pocket!

Already did. Kevin Rauch and Jim Opdycke May 2008, a reminder to me of the value of friends. Arent, Kev. all you guys who stood by your buddy. Damn inspiring.
