  1. Then do your best not to run screaming from the establishment! That said! Welcome! This area simply kicks ass for climbing. Might also watch for the various Smith/Leavenworth/Local BBQ/Sausage fests that go on! Should be no reason not to dig up climbing partners around here.

    w00t!!!

    which are of course way more impressive in their combined 200 ft than say any of the summits in the Fitz Roy group.
  3. Which would be ok solution as well.
  4. No progress towards forming an independant state whatsoever. linky linky It's certainly coming closer than the yom kippur war. Though this may not actually fullfill the indifada, having an independant state run by palestinians, and not being actively supressed by the Israeli's should do a good job drying up the supply of individuals willing to blow themselves up.
  5. If I wrote an exam everyone could ace it would be grade inflation
  6. No, still teaching. Have a class of 2 students at Seattle U. lots of fun! and the first 5 weeks of a class at UW, with 150 students Teaching and office hours are fun but 150 exams sucks! Still working on the real job but getting awfully close to a couple!
  7. Damnit! I'm bored again. Grading 150 exams sucks ass!

    Keep digging boy. I just finished my PhD, and am expecting a job offer in the next few days, which is actually sooner than i'd like since i've got some other irons in the fire. Looks like i'll be managing folks like you Oh, and I'm married so i've got dates whenever I'd like. And she's a hot climber chick who supports my ever increasing insanity
  9. Wait a minute. I thought the beginning of the end for the Palestines was when they're country was given away? But i'm sure that had nothing to do with it. They should have simply rolled over and said, here you go, we didn't really need it anyway. Now can you please govern us fairly, and you know maybe in 50 years gives us a tiny chunk, we'd really appreciate that. Just ask the american indians how well diplomacy worked while they were being taken over and funneled onto reservations. Yeah - because unceasing millitary conflict against an opponent with a staggering millitary superiority, that was increasing with every passing year, would have definitely worked for them in the end. In the case of the Palestinians, do a bit of digging and take a look at every measure of prosperity and well-being that you can find on the Palestinians pre-and post-Intifada. I don't think their decline since the onset of the Intifada is a coincidence, but I'll leave you to make your own judgement. were getting into a chicken egg problem. If they're country hadn't been summarily given away there would be no need for the intifada. And with a goal of gaining and independant country, I somehow doubt political pressure would have been effective. The intifada may have caused a significant decrease in their standards of living, but they are (or at least were) moving in the direction of forming an independant state once again. Without the threat of violece they have absolutely no leverage over Israel. I don't really condone violence in any form except as an absolute last resort solution to an untennable solution. Though from their perspective. Once you've been invaded, that could easily seem untennable and last resort. Except in this case the egg was hatched 40 years before the onset of the Intifadah, after Israel decimated every Army that had attacked them numerous times, and it should have been clear that using force was a doomed excerise in futility. The fact that they got "understanding" and "sympathy" in exchange for suicide bombings only accelerated their ruin. With friends like the Palestinians have in the West... Guerilla warfare and terrorism have nothing to do with military might or how effective Israel has been at defending itself from outside attack. Once external force options failed, then I imagine that is when the intifada probably really took off. And increased repression in response to their attacks only breeds suicide bombers faster, the vehicle for terrorism has never been overwhelming victory, but to create a state so repressive that it's own citizens revolt. The only solutions are either A) kill all, and I do mean ALL of the Palestinians or B) recognize that they're will be an ongoing threat and start working towards a tenable compromise.

    Bite me comparative lit/recreational resources boy Can you please compare and contrast these two windshirts? I have lots of spare cash to spend Now, who knows the difference between Pin-Yin and Wades-Giles? Ummm... I've had my MS longer than you And I bet I'm younger than you too I am one of the few engneers whose shower grout also needs cleaning Somehow I doubt your younger and have had your Masters longer . Maybe one, but chances of both are mighty slim. Unless your'e one of those freakish child prodigies who finished college as a teenager. In which case i'm so sorry your parents did that to you! It would explain the foot in mouth syndrome though
  15. But just think how cute he'd look with a miniature working replica of an M-16

  18. Granted. But, out of place, fashion faux paux, and disrespecting your elders are not offences worthy of arrest.
  19. Here damnit! Freedom's on the March here you limp wristed, lefty. Oh wait a minute people are getting arrested for wearing T-shirts at the State of the Union, and are phones are being tapped. Never mind me...
  20. That could get seriously addictive. It doesnt' help that it keeps getting faster! Made it 16s a couple of times then promptly bit it!

    Damnit! I'm underemployed! How the hell come I can't take a nap!!!
  24. Oh be nice everyone. What Dru is trying to say is that he only owns, and will only ever own, one climbing guidebook and it runs from 5.9-5.12 because any other type of climbing is either beyond him or below him. Can you blame him for having a narrow perspective? And I know lots of folks who'd love a copy of this!
