Congratulations on the baby Jason!!! Sorry you had to see an accident scene, especially that day. Don't worry so much about what world you are bringing the kid into, they'll have a great time. My neighbor George always says "every day spent above ground is a good one", I like applying it to climbing. -Kat Dang, my grandma always seems to give me ugly sweater vests.

Just because I sleep with you doesn't mean I'll ski with you.

I miss his smell. . . so hard. You lived the dream, you lived the dream harder than it's ever been lived before. You lived it so hard it bleed a little.

I miss riding in the backseat and my neck being clotheslined by the string holding the window shut. Like a little reminder that the general loved me back. & stickers. LOTS of stickers. And late nights slleping in the back and watching 'Jesus the Vampire Killer" General, you are missed. Your pal, Kat.

Can't hike, climb, ski...Orthopedic Surgeon?

I had extreme pelvic surgery. I had one of the best surgeons in the world. Where most surgeons do about 200 pelvic surgeries in their life, he has done 1000's. He said from a scale of 1-10 of pelvic injuries mine was a 9 & he fixed me up very well. I guess people fly in from surrounding states and Alaska to have him work on them. He is at Harborview, I'll pm you. You are in luck. -

We descended above crystal lake and then up and over the very east side of McClellan and back down crystal crk drainage. Nice up there.

Will the American guides that teach them be female or both? -
Monsanto IS the Devil! They refuse to acknowlege that they are also contributing to the decline of amphibians and reptiles by all of the frikkin surfactants they are using and recommending to use in their chemicals. I wish places like home Depot would jump on the bandwagon and offer 'greener' alternatives to Round-up and similar crap. Their products are literally created from toxic waste. About GM products, besides being a little sketchy with harming insects and declination of crop variety and f'n Monsanto sueing farmers that their crops are tainting, and the necessity for labeling GM products, I beleive JayB has a point, that the technology of GM production could be extremely beneficial and is definitly one of the better long-term solutions to growing crops in places you couldn't before.

A second generation robot. My girl brain is too small to comprehend things like robots, machines and hunting. I am just a gatherer and think about flowers and making life. I found this last night. 04.02.2007 20 Things You Didn't Know About... Robots Modern robots can respond to emotion and the smell of fine wines. by Sean Markey, Corey S. Powell (All images courtesy of Gordon Bennett) 1 “Robot” comes from the Czech word robota, meaning “drudgery,” and first appeared in the 1921 play R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots). The drama ends badly when the machines rise up and kill their creators, leaving a sole lonely survivor. 2 They say it was an accident. The first known case of robot homicide occurred in 1981, when a robotic arm crushed a Japanese Kawasaki factory worker. 3 More than a million industrial robots are now in use, nearly half of them in Japan. 4 Archytas of Tarentum, a pal of Plato’s, built a mechanical bird driven by a jet of steam or compressed air—arguably history’s first robot—in the fifth century B.C. 5 Leonardo da Vinci drew up plans for an armored humanoid machine in 1495. Engineer Mark Rosheim has created a functional miniature version for NASA to help colonize Mars. 6 Slow but steady: The real Mars robots, Spirit and Opportunity, have logged 10.5 miles trudging across the Red Planet for more than three years. The unstoppable droids were built to last 90 days. 7 The United States’ military corps of 4,000 robots includes reconnaissance Talon bots that scout for roadside bombs in Iraq and PackBots that poked around for Osama bin Laden’s hideout in Afghanistan. Apparently without much success. 8 PackBot’s manufacturer, iRobot, has also sold more than 2 million Roomba robotic vacuum cleaners, with the same environment-sensing technology. 9 Low tech vs. high tech: Taliban fighters in Afghanistan have reportedly used ladders to flip over and disable the U.S. military robots sent to scout out their caves. 10 Elektro, the world’s first humanoid robot, debuted in 1939. Built by Westinghouse, the seven-foot-tall walking machine “spoke” more than 700 words stored on 78-rpm records to simulate conversation. 11 Life is tough in Tinseltown: Elektro later appeared in the 1960 B movie Sex Kittens Go to College. 12 R2-D2 is the only character that appears unchanged (by aging, say, or a funky black outfit) in all six Star Wars movies. 13 R2’s dark secret: It was played by actor Kenny Baker, who by the end was mostly given the boot and replaced by CGI. 14 Chris Melhuish of the Bristol Robotics Laboratory created robots that use bacteria-filled fuel cells to produce electricity from rotten apples and dead flies. The goal: robots that forage for their own food. 15 Mini Me: Australian researchers are trying to build a microrobot that would mimic the swim stroke used by E. coli bacteria. It would be injected into a patient so it could take a biopsy from the inside. 16 Cybernetics professor Kevin Warwick calls himself the world’s first cyborg, with computer chips implanted in his left arm. He can remotely operate doors, an artificial hand, and an electronic wheelchair. 17 Winebot, built by Japan’s NEC System Technologies and Mie University, can ID scads of different wines, cheeses, and hors d’oeuvres . . . up to a point. It recently mistook a reporter’s hand for prosciutto. 18 MIT’s Media Lab is trying to make robots personal, developing RoCo—a computer with a monitor for a head and neck—and Leonardo, a sort of super-Furby designed to respond to emotional cues. 19 No strings attached! Robotics expert Henrik Christensen predicts humans will be having sex with robots within four years. 20 Hans Moravec, founder of Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Institute, predicts that robots will emerge as their own species by 2040. “They could replace us in every essential task and, in principle, operate our society increasingly well without us,” he concludes, oddly cheery.

What mountaineering activity uses the most energy?
Kat_Roslyn replied to ambys's topic in Climber's Board
You could use the new tether technology they are implementing in space. The rope, a metal tether with some object either at the end or in the middle; each time it whips, the energy goes to the generator at the end to harness the energy. The energy being stored is used to propel whatever type of probe through space. The tethers they are started to use in space are made extremely strong now because of debris hitting the tether. I think there was an issue of a tether being broken and burned through because the energy being produced was a lot stronger than expected or something like that when some astronauts were testing. There are also tethers being used that gather electrons from the earth's atmoshpere, I haven't quite figured that out yet.
