I wouldn't recommend a sub-9.8 rope to someone new to climbing no matter what level they were climbing and if a lot of TR is going to happen then I'd recommend a 10.2.

Works when done right, but skipping this kind of shennanigans is why a lot of locals climb on twins in Vegas. I much prefer twins to dragging along a small cord solely for rapping.

Sounds like an epic to me. Anytime you add a good bit of rain to Beacon you're asking for an [E]xperience of [P]roctologically nvasive [C]ircumstances...

Thanks for the date fix on the post..!

The rationales people will adopt, crib, or bastardize to justify bolting routes anywhere they want never ceases to amaze me.

Gotta spend a lot of time at the upper picnic area with that view checking on the birds to finally see it as a matter of just being out there.

He does, regularly. But I agree she looks better in the pics above without the rouge and lipstick - although the beard is what I've always found disturbing.

Nope. Ben has met him various times like training and said he seemed pretty nice and laidback.

Maybe they'd like her better with lipstick...

Beacon has a new head ranger - Carl Hinsey, currently at a park in Battleground. Will start next week sometime.

I don't think they were saying Beacon sucks, just that we do.

Yep, the barbs are the giveaway...

Bump for the long shot...

Will pay $50 + shipping for pairs in good condition...thanks.

Like Wushu or the horizontal roof, please PM me...

I had a clever guy in Dubai empty $3k from a bank account once. He stayed in all the best resorts, ate in the best resturants, and went to the best clubs. Looked like he ran through a different cc# about once every 3 days to keep that lifestyle going. He was definitely secular.

Ah, so do I have it right then - your basic assertion is, absent any provocation, the states, sects and tribes of Mideast always have and will act with widespread, systemic violence against far-flung non-muslim individuals and states purely as a matter of broader cultural friction and internal rivalry?

Theron has taken over Ed's production. They are every bit as good as the ones made by Ed. And get some of Theron's Tomahawks while you're at it.

Having social institutions with the real power stand their ground - in this case it would be South Park > Comedy Central > MTV > Viacom. Artists have their place, but then the likes of Rushdie, Westergaard, Van Gogh have either essentially or or actually forfeited their lives. I don't see you prepared to do the same and I don't suppose that was Molly's intention either. I wouldn't necessarily confuse and conflate this issue with that of the karmic payback of reverse colonization. Are there shared themes? Sure, but their's is entirely self-induced. Bummer, but definitely a case of reaping what you sow writ large across centuries.

Bill's original post was more about the right stand in the middle of a freeway waving an advocacy flag of your choice - there is no doubt about the nobility of the intent or cause, but the delivery methodology is naive and an accident waiting to happen. The results in this case were entirely predictable. Again, your responses lack an appreciation for the difference between principle and effective methodology. Advocacy methodologies, like anything else, do have a bell curve of effectiveness. Naivety and martyrdom are certainly in there to count on if you are managing a fundamentalist campaign - but again, that sort of managing and cheering on from the sidelines I personally find just a bit ruthless.

No, you confuse effectiveness with ignorance although I will say there are always those that appreciate a good martyr and like to cheer them on from the sidelines. Got that website up yet?

It's always interesting when effectiveness and ignorance are confused, though admittedly the latter sometimes does have the appearance of the former. It's also rather amusing with otherwise educated folks can't distinguish between them due to "principle". Such lack of subtlety usually makes for fine orthodoxies and fundamentalists, but then of course you become no different then what you rail against.

Oh, that would be the principle that South Park, Comedy Central, MTV, and Viacom failed. Molly is simply clueless, naive and at best 'unhelpful'. But hey JayB and tvash, websites and blogs are dirt cheap dudes, hell it's your chance to pick up where Molly left off and jump on the kiss-my-ass bandwagon and fight for what you believe! Just crank up a site or blog and start compiling those iconic interpretations of the big man hisself: here's a link to get you started: http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&source=imghp&q=mohammed&gbv=2&aq=5&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=moha&gs_rfai= I would expect in two or three weeks max you could be a vertitable beacon for free minds everywhere. Please let us know when you're done and don't forget those press releases (you can get free widespread P.R. distribution here - http://www.prlog.org). Can't wait, I'm feeling freer already...

Oh, is there a principle in there?
