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.

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..

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)

Just in time for my new skis [Thank You!]

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"

I don't think Sean Isaacs was the old man being mentioned

Yeah, but driving through Seattle from the South isn't easy

I have myggrandfathers copy of the Jefferson Bible. Very cool - the moral study side of the bible without superstition and myth.

Too bad there's nothing that cool down south

Which ones?! Which ones?! Mine haven't arrived yet. Liking skiing in sun just means you should move back to Cali.

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.

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

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.

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

If you already have a digicam - look into buying an external battery pack (connect through the external power port if your cam has one). Keep the battery pack inside your jacket to keep it warm.

Even worse - no booze!

Given the astroturfing campagins used for movies, teen music, outdoor products? it's not improbable. Hell, there are marketing companies you can hire to do this for you.

When I was asked 20 questions (and the interviewer had 20 written technical questions) on E & M and Quantum Mechanics. Highlights included "write down Schrodingers Wave Equation". (didn't get the job) I once showed up at the airport to pick up a rental car to drive to the interview; Avis wouldn't rent to me because I was under 25 so they had to send a delivery van (didn't get the job) For me conducting interview there's the person who answered his cellphone call, from a friend, in the middle of the interview.

Isn't time to leave Iraq? Just pick up and go? After all, John Ashcroft said we're safe from terrorism!

That's way cool!
