	SI disfunction is usually (unless you suffer trauma) due to severe muscle imbalances in the pelvic area and legs. Also it's a lifestyle issue (prolonged periods of sitting) and chronic stress combined. Looking for a "silver bullet" solution is completely futile and usually doesn't bring desired results. You can contact me via pm if you want some specific pointers.

	Wars are a good business? Oh yeah, worked great- till 2008. WTF? McKenna can suck my balls, since he pretty much wants to gut higher education funding. With my wife in a nursing program, and me heading back to school next year, there is no fucking way I will ever vote for him.

	Stupid people will not make their decision based upon rational argument. Making any attempt to influence their vote by logic is utter waste of time.

	if people are making a claim of not made a decision in the presidential race, they are either: 1 Liars (they will vote for Romney) 2 They are too stupid, and who gives a fuck what they think.

	I know! The last time I was in there there were all these chain-smoking coho playing the slots when they should have been spawning and dying. and when one whipped on lead, while clipped to the fixed draw, the rope snapped.

	You obviously know tons about salmon fisheries. Good on you for speaking up. Well, after fishing on a commercial boat in Alaska I think I know a thing or two about salmon fisheries. Also having 4 years of college with forestry major would give me a pretty good idea about general dynamics of eco systems.

	I am not for illegal camping and leaving garbage behind, and in no I want to excuse a bunch of dirtbags leaving mess behind. But to argue, that it will somehow effect fish in the river is an utter nonsense. What effects the fish runs are casinos, subdivisions and tree cutting operations. People using fertilizers, oil and chemical runoff (leaking cars) and general deforestation are the REAL causes. So it is a bad form and garbage should not be left, but to argue that it somehow effects fish runs! That argument simply doesn't add up. And yes, it bothers me that people are not using campground, but it also bothers me how much dirt and rock was dumped near the trailhead to Slhanay. It also bothers me that a whole bunch of trees were cut and 50-some houses are going up on Plateau Drive. I also happen to think, that a casino at the base of the Chief is a bad idea.

	Would you fucking go after Dec 21 and send the fucking thing, so we don't have to continue this four page public jerkoff?

	in my 30 plus years of climbing, a vast majority of accidents I have seen or heard of, were mostly due to human error. I am not interested in bashing people, but hearing about mistakes, usually helps me to avoid them. In the last 2 or 3 years I started using helmet on all gear climbs. At this day and age helmets are so light and well fitting, that they don't really effect the performance on even hard climbs. Hope he recovers well.

	Actually it does matter. like Donini said some time ago: "style matters". Climbing is a type of sport, where we don't have a bunch of referees watching what we really do. So honest reporting is a key. It used to be a golden standard, where after a writeup in Mountain Magazine, there used to be a 3 sentence summary. Now it's blogs and reporting garbage, where the reporting party will always claim "we were misunderstood". This leads to bullshit ascents, like "Golden Lunacy" in Greenland by Kaszlikowski and Kubarska in 2007. The description in magazines (Alpinist, AAJ) made it sound like a fucking unreal epic. The team travelled 80 km by sea kayaks with all the gear and then climbed 2000m route (1500 vertical terrain) on one of the largest cliffs on the planet. The route was graded 5.11d, with a lot of climbing in 5.10 range.This was the report they submitted. But there were enough inconsistencies to trigger Polish Climbing Federation investigation. They actually send a team to repeat the route. First of all, there was no 80 km kayak odyssey. They chartered a boat and used sea kayaks to cross a 2 km bay to the base of the climb. The climb was indeed almost 2 km, but the crux was not 11d, but more like 10b/c, and the whole route had only 5 real pitches of climbing- the rest was low 5th class, which was either soloed or simul-climbed by the repeating party. No so big epic after all. In the era of instant media, satellite phones, internet and blogs, we have more Maestries and fewer Doninis. I think pointing out liars is all we have left.

	The whole OS and free is bullshit: Read this: http://mtnequipment.blogspot.com/2012/09/report-nw-greenland-expedition-2012.html They bailed even before the rain, so the route was climbed on 3rd attempt.

	yeah, but mostly they have a law degree...... just saying. Less than half of both houses of Congress have law degrees. You gotta stop getting your world view from the back of a matchbook, dood. For a guy who rails against the Republifuk's anti-Age-of-Reason agenda, you're not all that data driven yourself. Fuck off dumbshit. This is the breakdown: 168 members of both chambers have law degree 83 has MBA 27 has no college degree 5 has Associate Degree 17 have medical degree MD, DO 1LPN So by far the biggest chunk belongs to the lawyers, which make 44% to be exact. So on contrary to the bullshit you spewed, I am wright and you are wrong. None of them list Political Science as a degree.

	We might have the best schools or colleges, but the educational systems seriously lags. And by educational system I mean students, teachers, school administrations and most importantly parents. I mean if it was my kid going for political science (this term is so oxymoron, almost as good as Polish Intelligence Service), I would at least say :"Are you out of your friggin mind, and I ain't paying for it!" I really love, when people go for international business degree, but don't learn a single language. We have very good schools, but shitty system.

	How the fuck do you figure we have the best institutions? People have to get off the treadmill of hype and bullshit and see what is happening in other parts of the world. Why is it that Japanese kick our asses in auto production and electronics? Constant hearing about how this is the greatest is like hearing addict saying that there is no addiction problem. What used to be great about this country is that if they were problems, they would get acknowledged, addressed and fixed. Saying something is not good doesn't make you un-patriotic, it makes you wise. One of the reasons this recession is lagging as it is, it's because of lack of skills. And this is because people choose to major in political science or sociology, and then they end up working as a barista with 100K in debt from student loans and fuck all worth of a degree.
