Alright now, lets keep this about Pink and Minx MmmmmK? Pictures and a TR?

Our own Geoff would chase that ambulance for you quite capably I suspect, but he lives in PDX. Once they start working with you, you usually don't have to keep beating them over the head with the lawyer thing. If you do need to toss it out there, filing a grievance as Rad says is another tool in the box though. Good to see it moving along for you, looks like it's going to work out OK in the end. We'll keep our fingers crossed: good luck!

I hope to be at this one Sunday. Most likely soloing a tad on untested rock. If things don't work out, well, it's pretty isolated up there, doan' cry for me Argentina. I have a new Noveske AR-15 and a CZ75 Tactical Sport 9mm pistol I need to send some rounds thru the pipe. Shoot then climb then come back is the plan. Interestingly enough, despite it's appearance - this rock is more solid and harder than anything I've seen in a long while. Certainly much harder than the stuff above.

interesting news: anyone who bought shit from this prick has to give it back!

By Mike Carter Seattle Times staff reporter Authorities have broken up a gang gym thieves they say was responsible for using stolen credit cards to buy computers and other electronic equipment which was then sold for millions of dollars on eBay, according to federal charges. Officers assigned to a federal Electronic Crimes Task Force today arrested Billy Morris Britt, 36, of Seattle, and Gabriel K. Jang, 37, of Renton, on charges of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. Both appeared before U.S. Magistrate Brian Tsuchida this afternoon, where they were ordered held pending a detention hearing on Tuesday. The pair are charged in a 40-page complaint alleging they and others stole hundreds of credit cards from gymnasium lockers in Washington and Oregon, created nearly instant fake identification in their cars, and then purchased expensive electronics equipment with those stolen cards within hours of the theft. Detectives determined that many of those items were posted for sale on eBay within days. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kathryn Warma said the men operated what amounted to a "mobile counterfeiting lab" that could create within minutes realistic driver's licenses, bearing the names on the stolen credit cards and the photo of the thief. She said several search and forfeiture warrants were served today as the men were arrested. And thousands of people who bought electronics from Jang's company, Nexus Systems Inc., are being tracked down and told that they will have return their purchases, Warma said. Many of the items were "high-end computers and cameras," including Apple laptops, that were sold for thousands of dollars — but just under retail prices — on eBay by Jang as "overstock." The thefts were so extensive that they had already caught the attention of police and of store security officers at the electronics big-box store, Best Buy. Seattle police Detective David Dunn, assigned to the U.S. Secret Service-led task force, was able to track the thieves and tie the credit-card thefts to the purchases through an e-mail address that was linked to a Best Buy Rewards card that had been used hundreds of times. Rewards cards provide loyal customers with special deals and other incentives for buying at the store. Britt had drawn suspicion to the card because it had been used more than 125 times using 77 different credit cards for purchases of more than $250,000. The case opened in October 2007 when another Seattle detective, investigating a credit-card theft from a Seattle gym, contacted Dunn in October 2007 after learning that the rewards card had been presented when the stolen cards were used at a Best Buy. The rewards card had been used with that purchase, and Britt was able to find the person whose name it was registered in. That individual said he had never opened a Best Buy account, but that his credit cards had been stolen from a Bellevue gym several years earlier and used at Best Buy before he could cancel them, according to the complaint. Dunn was able to track the e-mail address on that card to Britt, and began following him, the complaint said. Meantime, a Best Buy store investigator had become suspicious of the Rewards card and opened his own investigation. By watching eBay, he was able to track items purchased using the fraudulent Rewards card to identical items being sold just days — and sometimes hours — later on eBay by a broker named "Nexusi," an identification registered to Jang, according to the charges. A financial investigation showed that $2 million from the sale of electronic goods had passed through a PayPal account used by Jang since 2004, and another $1.3 million into a checking account traced to Jang. Britt was arrested in October at a Best Buy after a clerk became suspicious. Investigators found a card-reading device in his car often used by credit-card thieves, the complaint says. Warma said hundreds of gym locker rooms in Washington and Oregon were hit over the years and the thieves were smart: they'd take only one or two cards from a wallet, leave the cash, and replace the wallet where they found it. Often, the thefts went unnoticed for hours. "In the meantime, they're buying a couple of MacBooks while you're in the shower," she said. Mike Carter: 206-464-3706 or mcarter@seattletimes.com"

Bone, this is an album cover. You should make it your sig line? ie, you've been BONED! Sample song titles include: "Drain the Main Vein," "Ain't No Talkin' With Your Mouth Full" and "Tails Up Heads Down"

Damn, I missed all the good stuff bullshit cause I was off raising my kids. That's a good thing I'll bet. You might check with the "Phantom", whomever that is/was, and everyone else so that another chop job doesn't ensue before placing more bolts Ivan. Where did Nate go off too BTW, never hear of him anymore.

oppps, mean Janet Napolitano. Similar Dyke like look. "The Obama transition team keeps on leaking: word has it that the president-elect will appoint Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano to head the Department of Homeland Security, replacing the controversial Michael Chertoff. The move puts the border governor in charge of immigration and border security. Arizona has a large number of undocumented immigrants. Napolitano, 50, endorsed Obama in early January and became one of his most visible supporters. Sources told Politico the offer is likely to be made, and that Napolitano is expected to accept." All kidding aside, might be a great choice. Full story link: http://www.politico.com

OK, I need to revise my thinking for 2008, #1 no longer. link

Thanks for the link: here's mine. Link May be dated (2006), I was in China in 2007 I think, and GM was still the largest then I'm pretty sure. Buicks everywhere. Not like our Buicks, but more like Toyotas.

GM (Buick) sells more made in China cars than any Japanese Mfg. Does GM get your Chinese government bailout or just Chery? Do you have a link Hugh or did this come to you in a dream last night?

No more private jets?

I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for an answer. Interesting in that when I was in college I use to ask the communists who were rabidly anti-American/pro-socialism the very same question. They really wanted to trash what we had and start fresh so that paradise could finally be achieved. However, once they were asked this very question, the whole conversation tended to go downhill and end fairly quickly.

I own that statement! Unless of course shes in the car, .... then I'd be up....so to speak.

Well, you always can invest YOUR OWN GD MONEY if you think it's such a gd good idea Hugh! Have at it! I fully support your right to put your money where your mouth is. Go ahead.

Ha! And they missed the first 8 years of Geo W Bush and company! Well, they must drive forward by looking in their rear-view mirrors, so perhaps this comes natural.

Don't believe everyone is too stupid for this. Link "Nigeria email scam artists hit $400,000 jackpot By Wolfgang Gruener Tuesday, November 18, 2008 15:17 The Nigerian email scam, which promises millions of dollars as a payout after helping out a distant family member has been of the most known email scams for several years, but senders of such emails still find victims. Janella Spears of Sweet Home, Oregon, says that she is out about $400,000 after falling for the promise of $20.5 million. Spears reportedly went through the equity in her house, took a lien out on the family car, and ran through her husband's retirement account. Spears continued to send more money through untraceable wire services against the advice of her family and her bank. More multi-million dollar promises as well as documents that appeared to come from the Bank of Nigeria and even from the United Nations, both of which claimed that the payment was guaranteed, convinced Spears to keep sending funds. Spears said that she hopes others won’t fall as hard as she fell for the promise."

Well, if you read the 2 previous posts prior to mine, you may see my point. I know that reading others words appears to be difficult though, but I'd rather not just say it again despite your request. Substantiate what? Just read it, it's black and white, right here, no need to look any further sir. Unless I just need to start talking slower.....hmmmmm? Take care Jb, I'm moving on as this is starting to just get silly now.

Heh heh, toddler ya say Tomtom? Hey, JB, heres a link if you need it. link to help JB examine his own posts and not argue like a toddler

I suspect this one is just a nuisance lawsuit. Usually, politicians have their investments in blind trusts for this very reason. However, I'm hoping President Obama looks into the previous admins. detailings and if any wrongdoing was involved anywhere, persue the miscreants like the hounds of hell with the full letter of the law. There may in fact truly be nothing there but a bunch of internet assholes complaining and cvetching, but at least we would all know if Barak and a team really were to look into all this.

Hey, I got you a LEFT fielder over here from team Redbaiter. A little old but you can pick up his contract cheap.

Well, if there's one bright spot in Detroit, it's that they will have a Pheasant season which will be opening Dec 1st INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS. No Shit! MMMMmmmmm, tastes like Chicken.

What you think you are saying: He seems like a great guy to me. You're OK too when you lighten up a bit BTW. PS, Matts a good guy too, despite what gets said.

Dec 7th- @17-19th or something like that. Good belay skills is all I NEED, sense of humor and drinking ability would round that out well:-)

There there lil fella..... ps, JB, try not personally attacking anyone who doesn't agree with you and see if some of that virtrual stops coming back your way hey?
