  2. I'll let you know if the above work; probably try when it's light out. The website's kapute.
  3. Just another sign of success from the war on drugs!
  4. Anyone know how to contact them?
  5. That would be the other advantage of Fristchi's. It's alot easier to find them for less $.
  6. The military presence we maintained in Saudi Arabia since GW1 doesn't count?
  7. In Vietnam there was almost 20 years of war; they didn't use chemical weapons, they had random executions; they only invaded one sovereign nation (South Vietnam); the North didn't lie about Gulf of Tonkin - I don't remember Saddam lying about WMD, he just acted like he had them. Kaskady for all time best avatar!
  8. I've heard of broken Fritschis as well - mostly early generation Diamirs(several known problems) and recent Freeride users who ski them like they were an Alpine binding and huck big. Given the dominance of Fritschi in the AT binding market, and how few people use Dynafits in general(especially on piste), I'm curious if these statistics/impressions may change. Oh, and you can put brakes on a ski wider than 85mm with Fritschis, not Dynafits.
  9. As opposed to the two tiny metal pins on the Dynafit which fit into a tiny metal platee screwed into the plastic of your boot? The slop problem can prolly be shimmed out. In my mind the reasons to go for Fritschi's over Dynafits (I have both) are: - Better Release Characteristics - Step In/Step Out I like many of the gaperish hordes use Freerides inbounds; I've not experienced any problems with them.
  10. The climbing spring returns your boot to the ski fast when in touring mode. It also provides resistance (not a good thing) Some people find it useful on steep switchbacks. I do not. If it's free, pick one up and try it out, it's easy to remove, and BD charge $10 or so for one..

    Arafat has died

    They weren't forcibly displace; 75-80% of the Palestinian population was refused reentry to Israel after fleeing war. To me the difference is small. Amusingly Bush is now pursuing a UN sanctioned strategy (the original 1947 mandate sanctioned 2 states - 1 jewish, 1 arab)
  12. Just in time for my new skis [Thank You!]

    Tax Reform

    Anykind of tax "reform" is dead unless you can convince Joe Public he'll pay less. The only responsible way to pay this in taxes is to cut spending. I doubt that will happen. All you have to do to kill the "national sales tax" is to say "thats what dem Yurpeans have"
  14. I don't think Sean Isaacs was the old man being mentioned
  15. Yeah, but driving through Seattle from the South isn't easy
  16. I have myggrandfathers copy of the Jefferson Bible. Very cool - the moral study side of the bible without superstition and myth.
  17. Too bad there's nothing that cool down south
  18. And I'm Santa Claus Economic Left/Right: -3.62 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.90
  19. Which ones?! Which ones?! Mine haven't arrived yet. Liking skiing in sun just means you should move back to Cali.

  21. Have you been fondling the Adrenalins again? Petting the Dynafits? Do something in the sun; quickest way for the snow to come is to act like you enjoy this kind of weather.
  22. Was that describing Tis-sa-ack or whatever? didn't Roper give this impassioned defence based on the % of pitches bolted, or bolts per feet or something stupid
  23. I'm not so sure we're doing well in Afghanistan - last I checked there were large sections of the country we didn't control and couldn't travel to.
  24. Consumerism - the #1 Religion in America
  25. The former CEO of my company is facing 17 federal counts. The CEO of the prior corporation I worked for has hemorhaged $19 billion (that's billion with a b!) in shareholder equity in the past 4 years. Sure he's lost too - now he's only a centimillionaire
