RTFA. "He would have voted against it" means he didn't vote. Habla anglais, mon amis? What about "impossible to know when votes will be scheduled in the Senate"? A U. S. Senator in the 21st century does not know when a vote is coming up? What, do they pull them out of their ass on the spur of the moment? He has staff in D.C., right? And they all own cell phones, right? The statement that it's "impossible to know when votes will be scheduled" sounds like something only an asshat would say. I have a recollection of reading somewhere that Obama has one of the highest absenteeism rates in the Senate, has been present to vote only 30% of the time or some such figure. (not sure if that stat is accurate)

I hear there's a going to be a lot of Mounties in the area too.

Rachel Ray good, Maoists bad.

Return fire! You're an American, where were your guns? Flank and deliver suppressing fire.

I have worked out at CF Seattle for almost 2 years. They offer the CF Level certs but they don't push them. The option of going after a Level 1/2/3/4 T-shirt is there but no one makes a big deal out of it and there's not a hint that it's a requirement or even an expectation. The gains I have made in integrating upper and lower body strength, improvements in flexibility while exerting load-bearing effort, and improvement in muscular endurance have made me a different climber altogether. I think if climbers are aware that CF is out there, they're nuts not to jump all over it.

In the National Parks, it's to (a) control how many people camp in certain places so they don't get trampled and ruined and (b) to record usage data to plan new trails, or trail re-routes, close trails or campgrounds, expand them, etc. As for point (a), look at the wrecked conditions in many National Forest locations. They don't have this system (but are not chartered to do so). The NPS is supposed to preserve the National Parks in a way that generations from now, new users can go onto the land and it will be essentially unchanged from when we used it. Conservation.

That's a whole new thread that will swell to bursting in no time.

Except that his version excludes Matthew.

OK, so for sure on the NOAA page "snow level" means *only* that snow might fall at that elevation, regardless of air temp?

GOP: now the party of toilet cruisers. Representing criminals, liars, and jackasses isn't enough. Quite a broad tent they cast.

1. The NOAA mountain zone forecast reports "snow level" as x thousands of feet here or there. 'Freezing level' and 'snow level' mean the same thing, the altitude at which precip comes down liquid or frozen. Is that good enough? 2. If you were not on a mountain zone WS page, maybe they didn't post the freezing level just because it's early October and much too early for the general population to care. Anyway, I see right there on the mountain zone pages that they are reporting snow level so your assertion is incorrect. No BS to call on anything but your kneejerk reaction.

I was a summer volunteer there 2002-2005. In the last year they have had several major personnel changes, including the superinetndent. Several long-time rangers have left, with exisitng people moving into the vacated positions while some new people have come in from elsewhere. The new superintendent, for example, moved here from another park. Either the flux has made people forget the previous culture or the new people have decided to make NCNP an unfriendly place. That said, each year I was there there were always one or two seasonals who were stiff pricks and got reputations within the staff of being ill-suited to their roles precisely because the rangers want people to cooperate with them, not be coerced. These people were never allowed back.

Bascom, Waves and Beaches primarily a scientific study of ocean waves but a major portion covers wave dynmaics on beaches, beach erosion and deposition

Yes, and goddamnit, only 27 are mine. (note to self: buy at least 2 guns this weekend)

Man, these reports are all over the map. Well, by next August I'll know what I bought.

All this criminality would be end if we just adopted Rule .308

Well, I bought it so time will tell. It's a 60m dry 10.2. For $98 I can't go wrong. If Chouinard has used them all these year to make ropes with his name on them, they must be OK, but every Blue Water I've used seemed to have the best hand. So I bought price, I guess...but toast recently warned me against making choices on price alone...

I was thinking on the lines of: loan rope -> get some LSD and dynamite.

I'm glad I'm not the only paranoic here. I thought that too. But, he's so dope-damaged he's lucky he can find the computer's 'on' button.

Well, wait a minute. I shouldn't be all hardass like that. What's Off White got to offer?

No.

I thought our IT guy finally took a look at my usage log and shut me down. Then I realized I could still see my goat porn sites and knew cc.com would soon be back.

All gone. I got the last 10.2 dry last night. Thanks, billcoe. My first.
