I think priors are the best of the bunch. But i am staying with my old ascent skis and my real deck. Can I recommend switching bindings to bomber's trench diggers? They'll take your mountaineering boots and make the deck much more responsive.

the route was put up by a team with wolfgang gullich on it. oli lived in my apartment in new york when he was homeless in america after running away from band camp.

hey jay, i'm not trying to pick on your posts, it's just happening that way! um no. no. and no. That's crap. The government in no way shape or form makes money on smokers. my fiance works at a health policy think tank. They do about half of the health policy analysis and planning that happens in this country. The only group more costly on a short or long term basis than smokers is early onset diabetics with other comorbities related to being fat. i think that all the policy wonks and their ilk that actually develop rates for health care companies wish they could either segregate fat people out of groups or charge fat people more.

Which is precisely why most muslims in Europe moved there! Having their immigrant goals of transcending bigotry and zealotry thrown back in their faces by zenophobic danish bigots who refuse to acknowledge any of their positive contributions to danish society pisses off and alienates the would-be assimilators off. Nobody deserves congratulations for doing a normal job well, but everybody appreciates it. From what i hear, the islamic immigrants to northern europe would at least like to be thanked for providing doner as an alternative to sausages for street food rather than be constantly discriminated against and treated as subhuman by other citizens or area residents. On a side note, i've never seen more bigotry and racial hatred than between east germans and turkish germans. Its really crazy and frankly kind of scary. Personally, I think the dossier of the Danish Imams is baroque, bizarre and mostly very wrong. It's also really really weird. Read it, you'll see what I mean when I say it seems to have been written by a bipolar nutjob who wanted to catastrophically destroy the reputation of anybody who read it and took it seriously. It's worse than the protocols of zion. I think that your views on Iran are very rosy colored glasses.

A few points from skimming this thread. I have to say that this is partially what i've read in papers here, in translation of the leading german papers, and in turkish media. I've also spoken with my workers and my friends. Oh and by the way, having visited Iran and speaking decent persian and fluent turkish, it's not that america friendly. My experience is that's what upper class rich people think, not the vast majority of the country who pretty much don't like the USA very much. The reason that danish muslims and muslims across scandanavia found the cartoons as published very insulting was that the scandal started because a danish children's book writer wanted an illustrator and claimed he couldn't find one. From what i've heard, the book was published right around the time that original page was published in J-P. After that auspicious beginning, they found problems with the way muslims were referenced in all of the cartoons but one. Those drawings struck the the muslim population as marginalizing and stereotyping a group that's actually tried very hard to integrate into danish society. That the paper then refused to meet with the state council of religious leaders pissed them off more. Denmark's largest dairy pulled all of their advertising from the paper at that time, saying that they thought that this was a breach of the publisher's civic responsibility. People compared the drawings of burnt out suicide bombers and all that to watermelon seed spitting black americans. I can't really argue. According to my friends who lived in Copenhagen for the past two years, J-P is a tabloid catering to right wing voters. The wikipedia articles are an excellent reference, but the translation of that strange pencil drawing is not what I heard it means. According to my above referenced friends, the translation of the weird pencil drawing is more like "Prophet? You asshole, keeping women as slaves." here are some links I found interesting: wiki article about the drawings. wiki article about the danish iman's inflammatory dossier.

I'm not touching that with a hundred inch pole. It's funny, Distal has not mentioned once that he will use the pack for climbing. Instead he's said things that I'd try to transliterate like: argaliye kamaraliya mekonaniyam. whatever that means.

Did they publish all of them or just the four I saw when I loaded their website?

It turns out that the ground pad in question is not kelly's, it's josh wharton's. It had one side that was aluminized. Kelly said he didn't know if it really helped or not, but they figured why not. He also doesn't know where Josh got it. I'll go ask the manufacturer that I get my evazote from...

I don't like Bauer or Sen...years working in developing economies suggest to me that the world has significantly changed since 'from subsistence...' was written. Freakonomics is tolerable. Post Cowboy Economics is fantastic. (disclosure: written by my econ prof, i helped on early versions of one chapter...) The White Rock, An Exploration of the Inca Heartland was pretty good.

i'll ask him what he was thinking with that...

40secs. its non random. it repeast every so often and then you just have to remember the geometry. down right corner, up right, up left, down right pause. up right, down right, down middle, pause...

I've been told that it's going to take us a year and a half to achieve ISO 9001 out at my factory in Turkey. So, 'working on implementing' could just be that they've got the process book together, but they haven't had it running for that time yet...

35 pound barbell thrusters / pullups alternating rather than just pullups. So min1 was thrusters for me, min2 was pullups... we're crazy but we still like working antagonist muscle groups. I don't think i'd like to do burpee/pullups. no. apparently we're gonna do pukey brewster on saturday. i'm already working on my sick note.

we did thrusters / pullups instead of just pullups. i fell off the bar at 12 minutes.

they've got vince anderson, kelly cordes, a bunch more...and everybody who drinks the juice! I drank it, and i'm going to go have more right now!

I also have the tang MEC belay parka. Very very warm...the outer is dryloft.

I think it's pretty standard. The smaller the store, the less willing they will probably be to potentially get stuck with the product. I think a lot depends on the relationship between the store and the company, but as was said, the warranty is from the company not from the store. just my $0.02 as a manufacturer...

I have DC in both hands. I am 31, and honestly its not a big deal yet. I highly recommend massaging them a lot, which i was told to do by our relatives still over in norway/sweden. Take your thumb and massage the area from the base of the hand to the finger with deep massage. I do this every couple of days. You will know pretty damn quick when it's gone bad. You'll have a twisted lump of a hand. Your skin will seem to make a little twist and your two fingers at the end of your hand will be ratcheted down. They won't extend any more, and it'll be really painful. Just before that, you'll do something with lots of vibration--run a chainsaw or go mtbiking--and you won't be able to open your hand for three or four hours. DC sucks. hope for a misdiagnosis. It tends to be hereditary, so ask any living relatives if they have it or remember somebody who had it. My mother, her brother and sister, her father, his father and his brothers all had it. Sorry dude.

Check out fight gone bad or any of the videos on gymjones.com ... I do stairs with pack twice a week, as a rest day morning thing. I don't go for time or anything, just at a comfortable pace, for about half a hour to fourty five minutes. I take the stairs up and the elevator down, and I do about a hundred flights. Last summer I was working as a mover and trying to crossfit at the same time. It was pretty fcking brutal at first, but then it got okay. The problem is that crossfit uses a lot of the same muscles and just enough different muscules to kill. I'm having a real hard time doing hypertrophy crossfit and climbing gym on the same day.

I think the old Nike's were Timex. I got a Nike a few years ago that was a total waste of money POS. I threw it out and then got another one that was just as bad. That was three years ago. I haven't even considered them since, but i've also been too broke to think about buying a new one.

If you use tmobile or cingular, you can get your phone unlocked as long as it is either a triband or quadband GSM. Either company will do it for you if you've had a contract for more than 90 days and you're in good standing, you just have to call them and ask. If you have a sprint/nextel/verizon phone, you're SOL. Nokia 6610's are fine cheap phones. There is a cell phone card place in one of the airports in Ukraine. I bought one, it worked fine for me. I wish i could remember more about which one I flew into, but it was three years ago. I have no idea how much a phone rental would be, but the SIM card was like $25 and i bought $25 of time which was enough for me to call turkey and the usa a bunch over a weekend.

Wow, there are some amazing shots there...congrats to seeing the results of all the hard work.

The thing is, this time i'm trying to do it with a minimum of effort (which i describe as the limit called TIME). Its not an easy path, its the most rational path: I'd rather work out for an hour in the climbing gym than hang out socializing for three hours. Therefore, for the first time, i am trying to train while climbing in the gym rather than just climb without structure and hanging out. I want to achieve the best results with a minimum of waste and without injury. People on this board talk about crossfitting, and I was trying to find out whether they blended crossfit with their climbing workouts, or fit those climbing workouts into a system. thanks.

For the julian alps in slovenia, there are three guidebooks for the 'classic routes' alone. Slovenia is probably about the same size as most counties in Washington or Montana.

this is a list of specialty fabric retailers. You might try making a more or less disposable outer, with the seams necessary to make it work as a pack, and then a silnylon or ultrex inner with just one seam. how tall are you?
