Wrong. Larger people have a larger surface area, and therefore lose more heat through convection than smaller people. Think again. Volume increases as the cube whereas surface area increases as the square. I did not state the function of Surface Area v. Volume. Larger people have larger surface area. What is there to think again about? Additionally, because larger people have a larger volume, as you correctly stated, they have higher energy requirements and need more food to maintain homeostasis. They lose more heat, but they have a lot of heat to lose. Indeed more food is required.

Lockers would be safer if you have them, but not necessary. If you are using opposed non-locking carabiners, you want to make sure they are on slings the lengths of which are adjusted so the biners share the load equally, and you want to make sure they are not against a projection of the rock that could hold a gate open.

Fairweather's post was totally relevant. It says the courts have historically protected CITIZENS from suspension of the right of Habeas Corpus.

The technology exists to move UW Rock, if necessary. It wouldn't even be all that difficult.

Whatever you use, you'll want to have about three rolls of paper towels. It would be more of a spray and blot process, otherwise, yes the solvent would just make the paint run down the rock to a new place.

Like picking your nose. You hope no one is watching when you do it.

All I have to do is consider the source of that comment. Clearing the road was nice of him. Now could he get rid of that nasty old mining/logging debris? Thanks in advance Damn, I sure hope you are kidding about the mining relics. That stuff is cool. It's been there since the 1890's, I think, from the Bornite Mine.

I want to have due process applied to ME, if someone points a finger at me and says, "you're a terrorist!".

It doesn't matter what THEY believe in. It's what WE believe in.

I'm not saying anything about innocence or guilt, actually. Just arguing for a set of standards that distinguishes soldiers from terrorists. I could care less if they get trials that make the Milosevic trial look like a model of brevity, so long as there's some recognition that there's a moral distinction to be made between the average private in an interstate conflict, and Mohammad Atta et al. Applying the Geneva convention to members of Al-Queda or their jihadi counterparts seems to repudiate the notion that such a distinction exists. Damn, you just don't get it, man. Everyone should have the same standard of justice applied to them. EVERYONE.

You are falling into the same way of thinking that the Bushies have fallen into. The idea that someone is guilty until proven innocent. It's one thing to say someone is a terrorist, but it's another thing to prove it.

I'm weary of it too, I've climbed it so many times.

I am sure that korup could tell you all about the pharmaceutical industry and how unit costs are miniscule, whereas the development costs are huge.

Matt's shoes fit so well, he can wear them on either foot.

You have to know the right people, and they must LIKE you.

So what's the story behind this Bollywood phenomenon?

You aren't worried about the forecast of rain for Sunday?

We'll call you Jacob Marley. But seriously, why not just wear a pack with water bottles in it? I think Jens has done some of this sort of training. You should ask him.

You guys sure hold me to a high standard. Who's to say where physical development of the brain ends and plain old learning begins? You know the old saying, "good judgement comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgement" (to paraphrase).

I read it in the PI some time ago. You made me go look it up. I think that the age of 16 is traditionally considered to be when the brain's judgement abilities mature, but there have been imaging studies suggesting that it this takes place as late as 25 years. I wish I could find a reference to the one I read. Heavy consumption of alcohol in the teen years can permanently impair judgement. Article

Where's Fairweather?

Slothrop's idea are good. Once you start your workout, do a small number of pullups on the largest holds on your hang board. Then start with short hangs from slopers and jugs.

You elect government representatives to make land use regulations that are in the best interest of the citizens as a group. Sometimes those regulations cost individuals money. Zoning laws are a relatively new phenomena. On the whole, they have made our cities better places to live. 933 Opposed by Nature Conservancy
