Had a friend who broke her ankle a couple of years ago, and a fellow climber who was there was an ER doc. Basically said without an X-ray there's no way to tell the difference between a bad sprain and break. They both hurt like an SOB and swell like a balloon. Hopefully it's not a break but, sprains do bite though Damn things take forever to tighten up again.

I'm completely out of teh loop but is Sausage fest this Sunday? And if so what time?
-
Me too. But I'm gonna put up the calendar anyway, and then pout when she tears it down. My wife doesn't even know I put the calendar together yet. Pray for me. So is there going to be calendar signing events where we can meet all the models

To the girls who posted It's always nice to put smiles and faces with avatars! To the guys who posted some of that I really didn't need to see first thing in the morning, but it sounds like Arch and Muffy appreciated it Archie the only one who knows why you or anyone else posted your picture is you. The opinions of the 99% of the people on hear who don't know anything about you except your projected persona mean squat. To the wankers, I'd say don't be an assclown, but that would imply that you care about the repurcussions of your actions and are capable of change And we wonder why women in this country have body image issues

Someone mentioned Greenwood, and I'd give that a Access to Greenlake, 99 to get downtown, a quick trip down 15th NW to the climbing gyms, but not as pricey as Freelard or Greenlake proper. Plus your close to the working girls on Aurora

Getting anywhere at any time during rush hour (which includes saturday and sunday afternoons 1/2 the time) is a PITA and doesn't matter if it's I-5, 99, bus, albatross, or riding Archie's dogs. Now just think how much fun it's going to be when they start "fixing" 99

My step sister is having kids, and I remember when she was in diapers Hell I can't even pull the trigger on getting a dog! Though I still have a great grandmother alive so I can't be ancient yet

It it men's shallowness that drives some women to become shallow? I don't think posting a picture has anything to do with being shallow. If it's done to stroke your own ego then it might imply insecurity. Shallow would be us guys ogling said picture and if there was no interest in the person behind it.

I'm up in the Lake City area and have been for 5 years or so. For me it's a good balance of affordable, and not to sketchy. Certainly not a party scene and no good pubs I can stumble home from but close to I-5 so it's easy to get out. Ballard, Freemont, and Wallingford are cool, better pubs, more expensive of course, and Freemond/Ballard a bit harder to get out of. Same thing with Capitol Hill, and Queen Anne. South Seattle has a bit of a sketchy reputation but I think for hte most part it's fine. Prices are also more reasonable. West Seattle lacks the cool factor, is a little harder to get out of, but seems pretty nice and more reasonable prices than the "cool" places.

Damnit I wanna climb as hard are jr. Rumr!

Half of Mrs. Selkirk's job is breaking down criminals sense of entitlement. For a large portion of her several thousand criminal cases there seems to be a very deep rooted belief for them that just because "I'm me, I deserve to have the absolute best of anything I want", and that my deserving it means it's ok to acquire it in whatever fashion is easiest, regardless of legality or who gets hurt in the process. Some of them just don't seem to get that you have earn it just like everyone else. On a related note..... More info on narcissim of College Students

And neither should the next democratic president whomever and whenever they should be.

Huh? And, yes, All USA's serve at the pleasure of the president. However it's looking like he's out of the loop on this one. To my knowledge it's all come from his council and advisors and bypassed Bush completely. Are you referring to USA's who were working on Whitewater prior to Clinton being elected? Who were appointed by a Republican Pres? Of course they were let go. Pretty much every political appointment roll's over with every new president. It has nothing to do with the work they were doing under the old Administration. Mad that some of the Dem's boy's got let go? They were all Republican appointee's. For the most part they were more interested in justice and impartiality than in the toeing the party line. Which is as it should be. USA's aren't just representing the Pres. but the justice branch as well. If they aren't capable of acting without political pressure than the credibility of the office is destroyed which hurts everyone. Once they are appointed it's expected that to some degree they'll act independantly and impartially. Just like Supreme Court nominee's. They shouldn't be bowing to political pressure, but are there to enforce the laws on the books. The issues with Gonzales at the moment boil down to two possibilities. Either he lied before Congress, in which case he should be tossed. Or he didn't know enough about what was going on in his own organization that he didn't know the truth. In which case he's an ineffectual administrator and should be tossed. Let's put it this way, my highly democratic friends are missing the days of John Ashcroft at the moment. He was a putz, but he was at least forthright, honest, and a reasonably good administrator. What's it say to you when Dem's are missing a religious right republican?

Have close friends who work for the local US. Attorney's office... and yes, it's completely normal to replace all the US Attorneys when a president comes in. Hell, last time the local US attorney stepped down after the election in November even before Bush took office, and an Interim served until Bush appointed a new one who was then confirmed by the Senate/Congress. To my knowledge all 93 were replaced when Clinton came in, and all 93 were replaced when Bush came in the first time. Part of the initial suggestion to fire some US Attorneys that came from Harriet Miers was to fire all 93 of them and bring on new ones. (This would actually have been much less fishy or controversial than only firing 8). Gonzalez decided this would be too much of a dissruption and didn't want to replace them all. What makes this case different than a new Pres. is that a select handful were fired. The administration lied about why (especially locally performance was not an issue.).... again.... and several of the US attorneys were linked for either not vigorously pursuing election issues (fraud and or campaign finance) against democrats, or were actively pursuing election issues against republicans. The few things I have heard about the Local US attorney, indicate that he was acting in the best interests of justice, and the best interests of the local US Attorneys office, but he didn't necessarily kow tow to the Republican Party line. The other fishy bit is that in all previous cases when a US attorney was asked to leave or resigned, the local US Court appointed an Interim US attorney to serve until the President appointed one who then had to be cleared by Congressional and Senate hearings. The Interim USA's were limited to only serving for 180 days. This setup was to guarantee someone whom the local courts knew, trusted and could work with was in place to continue the programs that were already in place and/or being developed. In other words to provide minimal disruption during the Interm. Thanks to some wording burried in the last update to the Patriot act the Administration can now appoint an Interim USA directly (who doesn't have to be screened by Congress/Senate), not so bad or odd by itself. However, the time limit on how long an Interim USA can serve was also removed. This combination allows the Administration to bypass Senate hearings, and appoint anyone they want to as an Interim USA, and leave them there for as long as they like. Anybody else see a cronyism loophole that could be abused by both Dems and Republican's? It's f-ing sleazy is what is. Can you honestly tell me that a lawyer who has no significant credentials except that he was Karl Rove's legal advisor is sufficiently qualified to run a US Attorney's office? That's one of the wankers who was in line to be appointed.

Have some G-12's and love them. Easy on, easy off. Nice aggressive second points for steep stuff (more aggressive than the BD's). Never had any issue whatsoever. Oh, and they work great on AT boots
