I just went down to the freezer, and I'm down to about 40 #

Nice lol. It's addictive, isn't it? I'm lucky I can buy it freshly roasted at the Farmers Market down the street.

*********Once you do the obligatory touristy things, absolutely nothing. It's a barren desert with some interesting scenery in the form of a few mountains, canyons, and rocks.

I tend to agree... Boring city.

I tend to disagree... I want to move there.

What to do in Santa Fe?

Get a vehicle and run - run as fast as you can and get the hell out of there.

J/k

Its not too far from Roswell. You can visit area 51.

Roswell is pit and it's 4 hours away. Area 51 is 12 hours in the other direction, in Nevada.

The actual city of Taos is nothing special but the ski resort is nice. Red River is gorgeous, way more so than Santa Fe. If you feel like taking a hike one day, Tent Rocks south of Santa Fe is very cool. The Sandia Tram in Albuquerque (about 1 hour south) is the touristy thing to do but the restaurant up top (High Finance) is pretty lame.

You can also take a quick trip south to Madrid - an old mining town where they filmed "Wild Hogs". It's mostly a small artist community but they have some good places for lunch.

Try a new ethernet cable.....

I have often thought about the possibility that some folks are without the genetic predisposition for any understanding of spirituality. My thought is that without the seed of Abraham in their heritage it is difficult to impossible for them to comprehend. As the AA Big Book says, "There are such unfortunates. They are not at fault; they seem to have been born that way."

We should probably kill them.....

>Read Chuteless's posts and you'll see the exact same BS.

Well, Chuteless does give exact dates at least.

I think Chuteless and Ron are sharing the same bag of shrooms

Works for me....One live saved and one less violent offender on the streets

That's some good stuff man. Very nice work

Lemme check. Do you want one from above or something more like Dave's?

I normally ski at Loveland Basin. The elevations of their lifts are on the lower half of this page:

http://www.skiloveland.com/themountain/MountainStats.aspx

You guys have gotten quite a bit of snow already.... bastards . I was on my way to Telluride on Wednesday but had to turn around before I even made it to half way to Durango because the road conditions got so bad

Where are you skiing above 12,000ft in the USA on a regular basis? 10-11,000ft is the average peak at most resorts. Back country That is a good 4-6 hour hike based on conditions. Are you heli skiing or cat skiing to get above 12,000ft?

I ski mostly in Taos and Telluride. The lifts in Taos go up to about 11,900 feet and then you can climb out along the ridge that goes up to I think around 12,400 feet at it's highest (don't usually climb that far out though)

The base elevation in Taos is around 9,500 feet and in Telluride it's just under 8,500 feet but the mountain is much bigger..

best thing to drink is lots of te de coca....seriously, it will help immensely

What does that do?

I'm pretty used to the elevation because I live at 5,300 feet and I ski above 12,000 feet on a regular basis. But even after living at this elevation for more than 3 years, skiing at those elevations still gets to me by the end of the day...

According to the NIJ, 56% of arrested armed criminals said they got their guns from person-to-person sales. Looks like a big loophole to me.

Really? Wow! All this time I thought they got them from vending machines....

Where's the Ducati option ?


Italian = Sexy=broke down all the time and expensive parts.

Not really. I've already put over 10K on my 1098 and haven't had a single problem with it. I actually had more issues with my Honda 1000RR and it was nowhere near as fast or as much fun to ride.

As for the CBR vs. R1 debate - the R1 is a new design while the CBR is on it's second year of production. The 08 CBR had some issues with the transmission as well as some pretty serious oil burning problems.

Personally, I stay away from first year production models for just that reason. They usually work out the main problems by the second year. And these days, most bikes don't see a third year of production.

The R1 does sound pretty sweet with it's new firing order though. It sounds more like a V4 than an I4.

Pretty sure you won't be disappointed with either one.

A buddy I used to shoot IDPA with bought a Sig GSR and to be quite honest, it was a p.o.s. It jammed constantly.

I also played with one the other day when I was out gun shopping and man, the trigger on that thing was horrible. It's completely unlike any Sig I've ever owned or test fired. I usually love Sigs, but the GSR just doesn't feel right at all imho.

If you're going for a compact 1911, I'd go either Kimber or Springfield Armory...just my 2 cents

I'm not a BASE jumper...but.... I did go to bridge day this year and jump. It was a 1000 times more intense than skydiving. No option for "other" in the poll so I didn't vote.

Yep. First BASE jump was far more intense than skydiving. Of course, I did mine from a 400 foot building . Racing a bike on a track at 150+ mph is far more intense for me as well.

If you don't trust your partner - then walk away, life's too short to let it chew you up.

that's pretty much where it should end.

If you think low enough of your partner to even consider buying this stuff your relationship is already pretty screwed.

You mean end it before you collect samples from your significant other’s crusty underwear, and test it with your very own Fisher Price do-it-yourself CSI kit? That's just absurd

I'm pretty fortunate as far as the vacation/sabbatical thing. I get a 2 month sabbatical every seven years and 6 weeks paid vacation every year. The vacation goes up to 7 weeks after 5 years and 8 weeks after 10.

We can also add on as much vacation as we've saved up during the sabbatical. It's a pretty nice benefit for sure.

Apparently you didn't read all the way to the end of the report.

It's O.K. You can share your findings with the rest of the class

Quote

In common with most professional educators, I've found that sometimes it is necessary to repeat things three or more times before the entire class sees the pattern.

I'm sure has more to do with your consistent inability to stay on topic....

kallend changing the subject in straw man tactics?
Sacre bleu!

Yeah, he's pretty unpredictable

So here you go, Kallend. You previously dismissed DrewEkardt's claim that one's risk of falling victim to a violent crime was greater in the U.K than it is in the U.S. Well, he's right. The stats come directly from the U.S Department of Justice.

Even though we still have more murders in the U.S. the U.K still leads us in violent crime such as Robbery, Assault, and Burglary.Hell, they even lead us in car theft. I'm sure you'll be unable to see any correlation between the dramatic rise in these crime rates and the Firearms act of 1988

Ummm... does she run the FBI, then? That's where I got my numbers.

You just said "According to the FBI blah blah"

Feel free to share the actual source of your information so we can look at it with our own eyes. I did.

You're quoting violent crime statistics, that's it. Again, your changing the subject. There's plenty of violent crime in this country that doesn't involve legally obtained firearms.

Where is the correlation between legal gun ownership and violent crime in the stats that you referenced?

You're obviously more than willing to dismiss any source that isn't "impartial" yet, you offer no credible information to the contrary. Feel free to educate the rest of us.

YOU brought up gun bans, no-one else did.

And you brought up homicides, what's you point?

That there's always an excuse by the right wingers for poor performance by the USA, whether it be homicides or healthcare.

Man, you're the liberal personification of the Chatty Cathy Doll - just pull your string and you repeat the same old shit, over, and over, over again
