another bullshit gun story Turns out she shot herself and tried to blame her ex-boyfriend. liar " A woman who told police that she was shot by a masked man admitted on Friday that she shot herself. Police said that the woman, 25, said on Thursday that she shot herself in the shoulder while she was handling a gun outside her home on Pacific Street in Bellingham. "

Yes, I saw it, even sent a correction regarding Index Wyoming, but still waiting moderation. I am redoing voice over and sound, already made some video fixes. The film is supposed to be shown April 28 in Bellingham, during Children's Film Festival at Pickford Cinema.

did not want your mom to talk about my length/weight proportional package.

"Hours before the report was live, RNC Chair Reince Priebus leveled about the GOP's struggles in an interview on CBS' "Face The Nation," telling host Bob Schieffer that the party did a "lousy job" of marketing itself." Well I guess you have to have a platform and message first, being just pissed off doesn't work. Usually in business, when a company is doing poorly, heads roll, I predict another failure, because you can't teach old dogs new tricks.

ElCap Can see at least 4 parties and one solo (The Shield area) on the rock!

we the people do your post inspires the confidence! If you are one of the decision makers the future looks fucking sunny bright, as bright as the sunny sky today. I better get some night vision gear!

What is the point of this? An unmanned flight can accomplish that and more for the fraction of the cost, minus all the risk factors of flight with the crew on board.

Alex, I have done Guiness something like 7 times by now and it is wet pretty much wet on 2nd and third pitch almost every other time. Only first pitch remains dry most of the time.

travel to mars- wtf? they can't even figure out how to built a decent rail system. and after landing, what exactly would they use as a rocket to brake beyond gravity of mars for a return trip?

plenty of sheep around......

My bike is down, leaking oil out of front fork. Plus I hate pushing 46 pounds up hill for 30 minutes, so I can take a 5 minute ride down on shitty trails. N. Shore is still snowed up.

rained in bellingham most of sat- including baker ski area, did not start clearing up till 1pm today. isn't it a climbers board? who gives a flying fuck if you can go hiking on a half rainy day. the point of this rant is that you can't go climbing. and of course, when it's time to go back to work it clears up- like clockwork. I bet by this thursday it will start getting shitty again.

Oh it's clearing up- must be late Sunday afternoon then. Like fucking clockwork.

Rudy, I am glad Drew is doing really well!!!!

Lukeh - a great time laps video.

Now you can convert grades easy: grades

dane, that tiresome bullshit hardly constitutes proof that twight is still alive. quite the contrary, it probably serves as definitive proof that he never really existed in the first place... oh he is alive and well off now. http://www.gymjones.com

Tvash was actually referring to the Nepalese government. Revenue from mountaineering and tourism in the Annapurna and Everest regions has improved the quality of life for the people in those regions. Electricity, schools and medical centers exist becuase the the money from trekkers and mountaineers. Sure there is wealth discrepancy and environmental impacts (deforestation / garbage etc.) but those issues exist in all third world countries. At least the people in heavily visited areas of Nepal are aware that environmental issues directly impact tourism in their regions. You can't compare China and Nepal, period. And I think agencies and guide services organizing trips to Everest hardly contribute to the local economy above what they absolutely have to. How much of the 50K these companies are charging gullible fools is really left in Nepal? I am not talking about small expeditions or trackers, but organized trips to Everest. In general I hold these companies at the same level as oil industry.

Thanks- topic noted.

I agree with most of your statement, but the crux of the biscuit is how it is implemented. That is my precise dislike of the expedition industry, as most of these companies don't really give a shit. Instead on using their economic leverage, they just rake profit, and leave the places trashed. I'll give you 2 examples: earthquake in Pakistan and teaching Sherpas basic skills- in both cases expedition industry did not really lift the finger. Hence my stance: the only thing they do support is- their bottom line. And participating in this circle jerk should be avoided- Thanks Mark for pointing it out!.

Interesting- a virus isn't really an organism, there is a discussion what it really is (since it doesn't have a cell structure), but it has it's "system". Great way to dumb down the science if you ask me.

Well, at least I have 21 years behind an Iron Curtain, while growing up in a communist country. There might be technical differences, how each of the countries will implement the system, but in a nutshell- these are just technical issues. And the point I am making there is no such term as "decentralization", as the system revolves around a small group making policy. Any "grassroots" "decentralization" is treated as an attempt to decrease the ruling power. Climbers might want to be blind to political facts and tend to ignore them, however in China- the politics and climbing are tied together. As the matter of fact- I refuse to give China my money, and visit- what is an illegally occupied territory.

Both of you are so knowledgeable- have you spent any time in a communist country? This term "decentralization" is not in a vocabulary of the system. Who makes the decision, are the different levels of polit-bureau. Officially in China everyone works only 40 hour week.... go figure. Local population can try to minimize the impact. And particularly in China, the only "local movement" will be within the boundaries established by polit-bureau.

The point is that Chinese don't give a shit about most of things- environmental impact is very low on their priority list. So while the expeditions to Everest generate some revenue for the local population, they also will destroy the area for sure. The entire North side of the mountain is becoming covered with old ropes, old, torn tents, empty O2 tanks, slopes covered with feces and urine stains. And self regulation never really works either. Saying that these expedition have ANY positive impact is utter bullshit at it's best. They offer zero real experience, they offer zero sport value and they just leave wreckage all over the place. But hey, you can justify anything if you spin it fast enough, remember WMD?

Hey everyone! I will be making some videos about some of the common injuries, and injury recovery. They will be free, on-line. I am planning on doing 3 first: medial epicondylitis, shoulder and lower back pain. I was planning on going plantar faciatis and knee pain later. Are there any other injuries you'd like to see covered by these? The format will be simple: a brief description of the symptoms and their causes, forms of treatment out there and self help (like icing and stretching) for specific injuries. Please keep it spray free.
