Admitedly I'm pretty undeducated about this issue, but it seems that charter schools would provide the opportunity for schools that focus on specific areas of interest, like aeronautics, robots, or animal husbandry, and teach a curriculum based around that. And I think that would be cool. I mean, as far as I'm concerned we need more kids who know how livestock procreates.

I myself am a White Rastafarian. Praise Jah.

I doubt most born again kristians are that extreme. I think what you mean to have said was Evangelicals. Those folks are usually pretty fucked up.

And he wants to put millions to work with a WPA-like initiative. So maybe he'll build some new trails or ski huts.

Great. Well, at any rate, I've decided I'm voting for Rocky Anderson of the Justice Party. According to his c.v., he used to be a truck driver and a buck fence builder, so I'm sure running a country will be no problem.

No. You think they'd let him live there?

Does anyone else find this shit ironic in light of how much Polish Bob, etc. criticizes Fox News and the Republicans for being so intolerant of other opinions?

Great photos!

Also check out the Volkl Natatuq and the LaSportiva Hi-5 for lighter weight powder touring skis.

A good start would be to get a hold of Backcountry and Powder mag's gear guides for this year. That should get you on the right path. Off the cuff, I'd reccommend taking a look at the Dynastar Cham 107 HM for setup #2. The only criticism I have of DPS is that to get them reasonably light you need to buy the l/w carbon versions which are $1000 plus. But if you can afford it, its probably worth it though. As Jay said, wildsnow.com is also a good resource. At any rate, I think you'll be pretty stoked at how modern equipment performs.

Thanks bro!!! I just got a new pair of Carharts. They're pretty hawt.

not quite, they don't go to Obama "regardless" -- they only go to obama if everyone you assume is going to vote for him actually does so. "Likely" and "regardless" are not the same thing. True enough. But, let's face it, Washington and Oregon's votes will go to Obama. I guess my comment was more of a dig on the electoral college system in general. I suppose popular vote matters, but only as a reason for the losing party to bitch about the result afterwards.

Bone has a point since in Oregon and Washington our individual votes are pretty insignificant as the state's electoral votes will be going to Obama regardless. But I can indeed empathize with undecideds since even though Romney and Ryan are tools, many moderates are obviously disinchanted with Obama.

I don't do crossfit, I do Housework. Like pushing loaded wheelbarrow up hill, cut and split wood, rake leaves, and dig hole in ground.

Most sandbag / old skool routes I ever climbed were at Seneca in W Virginy.

Cycling is a European sport so it was sleazy way before Lance got involved. He just destroyed America's unrealisticly-clean impression of the sport.

Coexist.

My names roughly translate to "Result of thousands of years of white people procreating."

Praise Jah.

When I saw that pic I too was thinking to myself how those miles of hollow unstable cornice wallowing looked soooo much better than the protectible solid rock underneath.

... maybe we should ask Colin Haley and his bro for their opinion though before moving forward.

Looking at the W Ridge of Eldo from Marble Cirque in winter, it sure looks like a lot more of a worthy objective than TFT. Though, I think it has been done in winter before. Probly by Kit Lewis but I'm not sure.

Hopefully Ryan will have the opportunity to regail us with tales of his marathon running prowess.

Wonder what ever happened to Dru? Last I heard he was fighting a nasty case of the clap he contracted from a 350 lb transvestite hooker. Hope he got that cleared up.

I'm sure going to miss all the political tv ads when this whole thing is over. "It's Susan Delbenne!" Almost as catchy as the mattress store jingle.
