ok douche bag, let's here how you're roughing it in the ghetto (suburbs), workin in the mills (cubicle), roughing it like the Boss (Elton John), and scammin hairspray (guzzling jiz)

yeah right.

try a bidet

yep - have spent nights getting too wasted at the Penn Brewery. what the hell else are you gonna do on visits back home? i stopped cruising the monroeville mall for hairspray when i got married.

Hail the Pittburgh Steelers! Double Yoi!!

Relocating the Kalaloch Lodge? That seems like a pretty big project - wonder how much that will cost.

DHarry you're a fucking pussy for dissin the Iron City. Myron Cope would kick your ass all over da Burgh. Now stfu and go back to drinking your wine coolers lady boy. BTW, TG's distributor also happens to be the only distributor of IC this side of the Mississippi.

go with the one that fits better/more comfortable - prolly the xcr is my guess. I don't think you'll need the bulk of the cruiser.

So who's slaughtering chickens up at Asgard? How does food or water get contaminated with Campylobacter? Many chicken flocks are silently infected with Campylobacter; that is, the chickens are infected with the organism but show no signs of illness. Campylobacter can be easily spread from bird to bird through a common water source or through contact with infected feces. When an infected bird is slaughtered, Campylobacter can be transferred from the intestines to the meat. More than half of the raw chicken in the United States market has Campylobacter on it. Campylobacter is also present in the giblets, especially the liver.

Nate, there's at least two good books out there on this topic as well as lots of info on the web on this site and others. Do your homework, and I'm sure folks will help you out if you have specific questions.

Climb: Washington Pass Nirvana-SW Rib SEWS; NWC NEWS; DEB SEWS Date of Climb: 8/18/2006 Trip Report: Just thought I would pass along some stoke from a freaking great weekend. Jeff and I spent three fantastic days at Washington Pass capped off with the DEB SEWS on Sunday. Met Ross and Jesse en route from Bellingham - nice folks. If you're reading, PM me cause we have some shots of you. I thought the rotten rock at the bottom kind of takes away from the route a bit, but overall what a great time. NEWS was busy on Sat. Two parties on the NW Corner and one on the West Face. Stellar climbing! SW Rib was fun as well. I had done it several years ago and thought the 5.9 lieback directly to the bear hug pitch as way better than bypassing it. Haven't gotten any pics uploaded yet - maybe later. Gear Notes: pro Approach Notes: approach DEB from the gully to the south and then across the loose ledges. A bit scary at the bottom but not big deal.

Nice work! Would love to see some pics.

Yeah we almost missed the exit ramp to the ledge and had to rap in from approx 40ft above before getting committed to the direct finish. I thought the routefinding through the first several pitches added to the attraction of the climb.

Woot! Surf's Up is fun fun fun. Way better than then Krause-McCarthy looks from the rap.

quit worryin about the pocket glacier and just go get it!

Stay away from them - they make you shit blue.

Haha! We saw the donut at the parking area. Sad looking thing. Did ya hit up the Darrington rock fest dude?! We tried to bargain are way in after climbing but they wanted $50/person to watch some dude from Styx play with some loser from Foreigner. Cheap Trick cancelled due to lack of payment. Classic Rock Rocks! I mean sux!

Thanks. Bumb. Leaving soon. Anyone else with suggestions?

He wouldn't have have been doping just for one stage. It would be an indicator of a longer program. The UCI uses a ratio of 4:1 - just lowered it from 6:1. Apparently naturaly occurring ratios higher than 6:1 have been documented. Check this out also: Evaluation of testosterone/epitestosterone ratio influential factors as determined in doping analysis. van de Kerkhof DH, de Boer D, Thijssen JH, Maes RA. Utrecht Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Department of Human Toxicology, University of Utrecht, The Netherlands. D.H.vandeKerkhof@pharm.uu.nl The ratio of the concentration of testosterone glucuronide to the concentration of epitestosterone glucuronide (T/E ratio) as determined in urine is the most frequently used method to prove testosterone abuse by athletes. A T/E ratio higher than 6 has been considered as proof of abuse in the past; however, cases of naturally occurring higher T/E ratios have been described. Since the introduction of the T/E ratio in doping analysis, the parameters that may or may not influence the T/E ratio, possibly leading to false-positive results, have been debated. To achieve more insight on the influencing circumstances, an overview is given to obtain an objective view on the merits of the urinary T/E ratio. Relevant analytical aspects of the T/E ratio, potential parameters of endogenous and exogenous origins, as well as some alternative methods to determine testosterone abuse, such as the urinary testosterone/luteinizing hormone ratio, gas chromatography-combustion-isotope-ratio mass spectrometry, hair analysis, and high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, are discussed.

I'm leaving for Juneau tomorrow afternoon for a wedding and staying the weekend. We'd rather sleep outside somewhere and avoid a hotel. Anyone got a good choice spot somewhere near town?

Yes its easy and fun and worth doing. A very nice day out. The only drawback is the loose approach gully, but its short and not that bad.

I think the best bet here is a voluntary donation system. How much money can it really cost to maintain that place? I know I would be happy to kick in a few $$ once in awhile to avoid a mandatory fee system.

message sent.

Well this sucks.
