come on man, i wanna know what you learned from this vid.

yea seen that vid. nice. but i'd be like be shuttin up with the venga venga vamos vamos please yo now. btw, what was the biggest thing you learned from that vid?

vanishing point isn't 12+, more like 12a or b. liberty crack went free at 13-, if i remember right.

ahh yes, the reason for the crystal clarity. are there any lesser priced HD's that take pretty damn good instead of damn good footage that you know of?

i think the above says it well, at least for chronic heavy use. but, anything in moderation! as far as the psychosis goes.... i personally think that whatever one is using plays on the current state or condition of the user, so if one is "pre-disposed" due to a variety of factors, then pot (or acid, or mushrooms etc) can set ya off. i personally don't think it's the drug per se, just the state of the user.

i hope you realize that alcohol impairs the ability to keep track of time....

sounds ala Earth or Sunno))))....

what sort of camera machine was used to film this sickness. it looks all clear and pretty.

interesting to me that a house in that area went for 310 at the peak.

what neighborhood is that?

hey i won't argue about the attrocity that is today's spec house. looks like hell and what's up with the pastel colors? is it the rule that you're suposta make em look absolutely as terrible as possible? my argument is that, unfortunately, they're gonna look just as damn ugly 50 years down the road, cuz the shit they're built with will, unfortunately, last. do routine paint maintenance on the cementitious faux wood siding, hardiplank, and i guarantee you it'll out-last any old growth cedar shake siding (which is hard to get nowadays anyway). our apt bldg is sided in t-111, and it's still going strong over 30 years later. and our house, built in '08, has places of dry rot on the original siding cuz of previous poor paint maintenance.

the idea that houses were built better "in the olden days" in terms of materials and craftsmanship is a silly generalization at best. yeah old growth (as an example) tends to be a stronger and more stable material than second or third growth (big deal: the structural parts are generally over-built anyways), but galvie or iron pipes aren't, knob and tube aren't, old skool elec panels aren't, asbestos and lead everything aren't, etc etc. i like my new upstairs remodel!

it seems to me that the lessons learned here are: don't climb with will hockett. typical passive/aggressive northwest bs. instead of telling the guy what's up when it's happening, wait until later and "get revenge" by posting about it on the public airwaves. abysmal.

my prayers go out to him and his family.

i bet tvash has a solution.

i can feel ya rudy, but do you have a solution? kind of a tuffy in a free market capitalist model, methinks.

but more than being simply amused, i am moved, since your collective position becomes so much more convincing. btw, what happened around here? it seems like spray has been reduced to the same three or five humanoids arguing pretty much the same thing day in day out. actually, come to think of it, was it ever any different?

in no way do i intend to threaten your collective sense of outrage(!), but i am amused that lieberman is first compared to an ebola virus, and then despots from h to s. i am amused, yes.

lieberman's positions seem to have been pretty consistent for a while now: quite "liberal" on domestic issues (NARAL gives him 100, for example), quite hawkish on foreign policy. actually a "maverick" of sorts, unlike the self-proclaimed version from arizona. he's an orthodox zionist jew, so it's not entirely surprising that his FP positions indicate a hawkish stance inre the middle-east. do i agree? i feel his position is short-sighted for a variety of reasons, but i do think he believes his positions to be sincere.

"joint drinks" means something with chondroitin, msm, and such? if so, i've taken them for periods of time and have had no conclusive feed-back. it's nice to think they work....but i can't say they do. a "trick" of mine that i DO know works is self-massage on the fingers and fore-arms. find the sore spot in the finger and massage it somewhat vigorously for a few minutes a few times a day. chances are you'll find sore spots in your fore-arms and palms too; massage these as well. it's easy to forget to do this, but i've found that if continued for a week, good results.

thanks maine-iac, but no luck. everyone at UW was like "hmmmmm... try this number:..." until the last one connected me to Sound Mind and Body. 24 Hour Fitness it is.

it depends on what he means by "high-end climbing" and the type of route. i'd say anything steeper than vert, and above mid 5.12, you'll have a much easier time if you don't max out at 10 pull-ups, in general. i can't think of anyone i know who climbs 5.13 or above who couldn't do more than 10 pull-ups....but the inverse is of course not true: having a high pull-up max doesn't mean one can climb well.... also disagree with his "added muscle" with a higher max. i don't think doing high rep pull-up sets builds big muscles, or non-functional muscles. at least i haven't seen this happen. look at haston: 52 years old and rp'd 14d, and does supposedly up to 2,000 pull-ups a day, sets of 20. hard to argue with his results.

anyone know where to get accurate ie. water immersion body fat testing in seattle? 24 hour fitness does it once a month for $50, but couldn't find anywhere else.

for me, it was pretty easy to drop about 6 lbs to 172 (stop eating a pint of ben and jerries every other day!), but tough after that. dropped to 168 briefly, and i suppose once pressing goals are on the horizon then i'll get more motivated again. i read somewhere that most diet "programs" have about the same efficacy, but a key component was to keep a diary and record everything you eat. people who did that did much better.

please explain how i am a hypocrite. really? i love to be questioned. what is your question please? who did i insult, and who's climbing? oh yes, yours, when you went on like an experienced expert. au contraire. i believe i have said on more than one occasion that those disciplines might work wonderfully for people. i even expressed interest in gym jones in seattle, but alas, nothing available. no way dude, at least one person is interested in this shite. if you include me, that is. you seem pretty interested, since you keep replying, even though you are busy keeping tabs on your tendon development dates. i have always detested base levels of intelligence, but i still fail to see how the above is so terrifically offensive.... perhaps you are simply defensive? please list the "several" climbers who i have denigrated. and the love thing: you notice how you brought up all these "obligations" of yours? excuses, dude. and a perfect example of what the quote seemed to indicate: for true love, you will sacrifice. how many will? certainly not rocky joe with the time stamped tendons. no, i kid you. of course people have competing interests in their lives. nothing wrong with that, but i can't quite figure out why you're getting so worked up about it.... and about sucking your balls? tact, sir. at least wait to proposition me until the bathrooms at stone gardens.
