    Easy Clean Aid at Index?

    in Newbies

    Posted

    IMHO all of those are awesome training routes, to call city park lame is foolish, especially for someone new to aiding. Just getting up on any of those routes is key to expanding your horizons, we all started there, so save the judgemental comments for pub clubs. nya.gif

     

    -Iron Horse ok

    -Arachnid Arch ok

    -10% ok

    -Stern Farmer good

    -City Park kinda lame

    -Narrow Arrow variation good!

    -Narrow Arrow Direct ok

    -Shirley good!

     

    Dry-Tooling questions

    Just thing how crazy Dwayner is going right now not having the chance to whine about the evils of drytooling and how much damage it brings. hahaha.gif Hey D! the_finger.gifthe_finger.gifthe_finger.gifwazzup.gif

    I dont actually think he cares as much as you think he does...especially since you think he does. yelrotflmao.gif

    Divide into research teams. You have been handed a bag of various fasteners (nails, staples, screws, etc.) As renowned taxonimists, you are to develop a classification scheme that meets the established rules of the Linnaean system. Be prepared to defend your classification scheme orally. You will also write a one page essay on your classification choices--what roles did form, function, derived characters, and ancestral traits play in your classification scheme?

     

    Tasks:

     

    1. Make a phylogenetic chart of your classification scheme (as shown on this handout) using the poster paper, tape, and objects. Include all of the categories from phylum to species. What rationale (s) did you use to for each category and what criteria did you use to differentiate among categories? Did you rely more on "form" or "function?" Or derived and ancestral traits? Provide descriptive names for each category from phylum, class, order, family, genus and species. Apply names that best describe each object and their heirachical location in your classification scheme.

     

    2. What are some of the difficulties and differences between classifying inanimate objects and living organisms? Is it easier or more difficult to classify living or inanimate objects? Why? If you knew nothing about each object's function, would that have made a difference in your classification scheme?

     

    3-Does your classification scheme reflect the evolutionary relationships and phylogeny among taxa? Who evolved from whom? Which "body type" do you consider to be the most primitive? The most advanced? Be sure to include evolutionary relationships in your essay.

    Bring a big rack (that is, many pieces). The pitches are long.

    The cracks are often very nut friendly. Often cams are awkward and difficult to place in the frequently undulating crack systems.

    Bring a Buttload of stoppers! wave.gif

    Napoleon Dynamite

    in Spray

    Posted

    A friend lent me the movie and its actually pretty decent. I can wholly relate to the scenarios depicted. Fun, sad, and rewarding as a whole.

    But after a little googling I found that some folks take it to a whole other level.

    "Napoleon was Mormon"

     

    Exerpt from the main post replies:

     

    Woah buddy! You definitely need to calm down. I am Mormon, and the only religious connotation I found in this was the Ricks College T-shirt. I actually didn't even know it had anything to do with Mormonism (besides the Ricks College T-shirt) until I read on this website that Jon Heder was Mormon. ..... I found their alternate "swear words" amusing because I went to BYU-Idaho and some people (mainly from Idaho and Utah) talk like that. But you have it all wrong about the polygamy stuff. For your information, polygamy has not been practiced in our religion for a very long time. It is now against our beliefs and if anyone who calls themself Mormon and practices polygamy they are not only breaking the law (which is against our beliefs because we believe in being law-abiding citizens) but they would be ex-communicated, which means kicked out. Hence, they wouldn't be Mormon anymore. And I don't see how you can come down on Napoleon and Kip for living with their grandmother. You make it seem like they are the only people who come from non-traditional families. So I find that comment ridiculous also. ALSO, I found nothing of the sort of Mormonism being "shoved down the masses throats." I think I would notice religious connotations before someone not familiar with Mormonism. Are you saying that whoever is watching this movie doesn't have the choice of shutting the movie off if they don't like it? I know that's what most people would do. I also think it's ridiculous that you think we need to protect those who cannot protect themselves from this harmless movie. If I wanted to shove my religion down someone's throat I would make them watch actual church produced movies and force them to read the Book of Mormon. That would be forceful. Like someone posted before, YOU are definitely the one who needs to pull your head out of your arse and seriously calm down because you are totally over reacting!!! And by the way, I am a woman and I know that my religion doesn't degrade me or anyone else of the same sex as me. So once again, chill out buddy, no need for conspiracy theories about this one.

     

    Skoal, your post has the be the most idiotic thing i have ever seen. First off the movie itself has very little premise besides the whole "every dog has his day" theme in the end. But Anti Sematic?! Pologomy?! I could maybe understand the whole degrading women thing with the part where the Rex guy is choking the girl while saying "the wisdom of man" But buddy, u needa lighten up.

     

    PS- Nothing was crammed down anyones throat in this movie, in fact probly the one thing that was slightly even offensive is when that Summer girl said she didnt wanna eat chimmychangas for lunch (reffering to pedro)

     

    But hey w/e ill be awaiting ur rebbutle with proof of such displays of antisematism and pologomy from the movie.

    Old Nuts

    Anybody still have any Slider Nuts?

    Those brass dovetailed wedgies with silver solder on one side were nifty but... take even a small fall on them and good luck removing them.

    Lowe/Byrne Ballnuts are hella superior.
