My understanding is that all the commonly used knots will work on ropes of dissimilar diameter. Personally, I would probably avoid using the EDK to join an 8 mm with a 10 mm, unless I was really worried about difficulty in pulling the ropes.

All attempts at preempting Dru are doomed to failure.

As one can see from the map, persons leaving the lake are presented a choice of going down (to the west and Pratt River) or up (the correct way to the south). Given a choice between up or down, and being clueless as to the correct way, people will take down.

There is no more succinct way to put it.

What about "Boulder Climber", to state teh obvious? Gotta be some fertile ground there.

You aren't making any points that haven't been made before. Why bring this up now?

And never in the history of our nation has this been so succinctly illustrated as under the administration of George W. Bush at the helm of all three branches of government under Republican control. Little did I know this would bring those Libby's out. For a minute I thought you were referring to Scooter, but I then realized you were talking about liberals.

Crass? Yes. Heartless? Yes Truthful??? Yes. Seahawks equates socialism with totalitarianism. One does not follow necessarily from the other.

How much time would Ahmadinejad have if a submarine launched an ICBM with a conventional warhead from the Persian Gulf? And speaking of proxies, why not use Isreal as a proxy same way the Saudis use Al Queda? How could the world hate Isreal any more than it already does?

Do you think we should nuke 'em now? Would the fall out land on Isreal?

That was a snide comment!

Feds say arrest may lead to sharp drop in illegal e-mail Is it any coincidence that I haven't gotten a single Nigerian scam email today? I usually get 2-3 a day. It seems they are the only ones that Yahoo! seems unable to filter out.

Naw, it's predicted to be highs in the low 80's.

You are about as crass as they come.

I wasn't there, Toast was in charge. I'll be there this weekend. I heard they had an awesome cookout on Saturday night.

You don't read the newspaper either, do you? Hugo Chavez the president of Venezuela is on the right. I don't recognize the woman.

Dude it's not Kevbone you need to worry about. Don't think you are anonymous here. B---s are not something to joke about.

I won't go there, but suffice it to say that some people have great trouble distinguishing right and left. They can overcome this by using visual cues.

In all seriousness, though, I just think that Melakwa Lake gets more than its fair share of inexperienced hikers. Back when my kids were young I'd bring them along on hikes and often as we were returning, I'd stop at trail junctions and ask my daughter which way we should go to return to the car. She almost invariable chose the wrong way! (my son didn't have the same problem) I'd have to tell her, "nope, it's the other way!". After a few of those experiences, immediately after passing a junction on the way out, I'd turn her around, point to the left or right tell her, "look, that's the way we have to go on the way back, remember!"

Someone went to a party instead of studing for the exam and then had a little panic attack at 6:30 am.

Melakwa Lake, the Bermuda Triangle of the I-90 Corridor.

It is thought to involve induction of metalloproteinases. Basically, the structural proteins in the tendons are broken down chemically, thus weakening them.

OMG, you're the guy. No big deal?! You should be ashamed of yourself.

Truck tires keep coming off on the freeways and killing people and damaging vehicles. This has happened three times in a short period. Is this just a coincidence? Or is someone going about loosening lug nuts? Story

You guys are so incredibly jaded. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
