You really don't need all that much strength, most men muscle their way up the rock face powering through moves and burning out their arms. Women tend to use technique and their legs more, so at the end of the climb they aren't as tired. What ends up happening is the men progress to harder climbs much faster than women, but plateau much soon then they either learn technique and get better or the women ends up passing them up because she has the technique and by then the strength to do the very hard climbs. So get out there and try it. Fly it like you stole it!

Actually it wouldn't help anyway cause everyone would just buy the gas the day before or after, so the same amount would be sold. Now it would make a much bigger difference if everyone biked, walked or rode mass transit for a week. No gas consumed=no gas needed, now that will hit them where it hurts. Fly it like you stole it!

You can buy more upright sitting bike they are called comfort bikes, Derek and I just bought one for his Mom where you sit very upright. Lots and lots of people in the US commute to work everyday, some ride road bikes, some ride mountain bikes, and some ride comfort bikes. There are also many things you can do to adjust the comfort level of your bike from the type of handle bars to the stem and seat. http://www.specialized.com/bc/SBCBkModel.jsp?sid=05Globe You aren't forced to get bikes with aggressive stances, but some of us prefer them that way. I don't mind being leaned over because the set up makes climbing hill easier and being in CO that is kind of a big issue. Fly it like you stole it!

There isn't one answer, because it was a chain of events that started with g, hopped up to d, could have been stopped at f, but ultimately ended with h. Fly it like you stole it!

If you don't have them get clipless pedals, once I got them I will never go back it is so much more efficient cause you can actually produce power on the upstroke that the back of the peddle. Fly it like you stole it!

I think that is cause you are eating the "special" brownies. Fly it like you stole it!

Just another thing to add, get your pet microchipped it's cheap insurance that could help bring your baby home if it looses it's collar. Fly it like you stole it!

My Mustang GTs happy spot was from 75-80, above that gas milage went down fast, below that it was good but not the best. My Mazda 6 also gets it's best milage in the high end, but lower than the mustang 70-75 range. In a week and a half we are driving out to CA and will probably stick to around 70 mph. High altitude also helps, less O2 means less gas required in the mixture, it also means less HP, but the trade off is worth it. Fly it like you stole it!

I know I would devastated if during a natural disaster I got separated from my babies. This organization goes into areas that are evacuated and helps get the animals out, then does their best to reunite them with their owners or find them new homes if the owners can't be found. They are currently in one of the affected areas today and are starting their rescue efforts. http://www.noahswish.org/index.htm Fly it like you stole it!

Hey nice bike, starting next week I think I will be using one of my two babies to make the 9 mile hike to the office. Derek and I are pretty good about not wasting gas, but this should save a few more trips a month to the gas station. Hmm...looks like I don't have a side view of the mountain bike. It's the 2004 version of the Specialized Hardrock Pro Disc. Fly it like you stole it!

It's kind of like this site in that it is owned by one person(who is a trainer), and while you can have any view on training you want you just can't slam someone cause they don't use clicker training or whatever method you fancy. http://dogtraining.mywowbb.com Fly it like you stole it!

I'm in an apartment and it works great, ofcourse I also will bitch to them in a heart beat when I have a problem. The best is when I trouble shoot their network for them and tell them they have a problem like when their DNS server(s) went down. Yes a girl does know how to do an ifconfig, ping, and tracert.

Ewwwww......I think in pictures now I'm going to have to poke myself in the eye with a stick. Fly it like you stole it!

yep, rock climbing, dog training, road/mountain biking, a few different Yahoo groups. Fly it like you stole it!

I understand how New Orleans developed, but why continue to build when they know there is a problem with the land sinking? How arrogant of us to think we can stop Mother Nature. As for Holland being okay with it, how many Hurricans do they get? It's not uncommon, but since they don't have tropical origins more like artic they aren't really "hurricanes". http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/encyclopedia/e/eu/european_windstorm.htm Fly it like you stole it!

It's not called AOHell for nothing. I LUV my cable modem and wireless router. (humping cable modem) I know I know...I can luv my cable modem, just not LOOOOVE my cable modem. Fly it like you stole it!

My name is Ula. I live in Hawaii. Come to our Island! Eat our Pineapples! OK Fly it like you stole it!

ummm...where is here? Fly it like you stole it!

One of the guys in the Atlanta office said the gas stations are closing at 4pm EDT today and there will be a gas curfew in effect for the next few days. I'm thinking about riding my road bike into work tomorrow, good for my body, good for my pocket book. Fly it like you stole it!

7pm works, although remember the AMC theater is there so parking could be a bitch. Fly it like you stole it!

Isn't Amsterdam (& a large surrounding area)the same way? ...and Amersterdam is Flemish, AND Hurricanes don't hit the European Continent. Well, "extra tropical" morphings of them do, but they don't have storm surge and high winds. Well the Dutch have experienced enough of a problem to spend billions building the following barriers from storm surges. Maeslant barrier The Maeslant barrier consists of two immense doors, each shaped like a wheel segment. Together with its spokes around which they turn, each segment stretches for 320 metres, about the height of the Eiffel Tower, and it weighs more than four times as much as the Eiffel Tower. The Guinness Book of Records calls it the world’s largest robot. Off-shore dept sounding buys are continually monitoring the sea level. If the level rises 2,3 metres above the average sea level, the weir elements, which float upon the water, are moved to the centre of the river. When both ends meet, the ballast tanks are flooded, to sink the barrier solidly into place. Eastern Scheldt barrier The Eastern Scheldt barrier is no simple dike, but a storm flood barrier connecting two islands. It has 66 sluices that are only closed if the tide reaches an extremely high 3 meters above average sea level. Fly it like you stole it!

My poor young dog looks like a homie with all the bling (tags) on his collar. (Rabies, name tag w/my info, microchip info tag, some other pet recovery tag, 1 other I beleive) My senior dog right now just has her rabies tag, but I'm not worried about her running away cause that would require her to be motivated to run and now days the only thing that motivates her is my bed.

Two major phone providers lost their New Orleans switches to flood waters which means they lost service to not just NO but surrounding areas. They are working as fast as they can to bring service back up, but are running into other problems due to the HUGE volume of calls to the area. (people trying to find their loved ones and emergency personnel) I know this is painful (I'm on the receiving end of customer complaints) please be patient with these carriers they are trying to bring the infrastructure back up as fast as they can. On another note it's times like these I wish my dog was fully mature and had his SARs training done, we would be there in a heart beat trying to find people. It's events like this that make me even more determined to get him through the training and certified. Fly it like you stole it!

One hand - and last time we were there, they said no reservations. But things might have changed, so it's good you're calling. Edit - how about 7 pm? They are under new management now and the last time we were there I saw a sign that said they will only hold your reservation for 10 minutes after your assigned time. Although that may only be for the grill and not the sushi area, which usually isn't that busy other than Monday & Wednesday nights when they have 20% off Sushi. Fly it like you stole it!

While you wait, or do you want to pick it up Friday at Sushi (the place is a hibachi grill also)? Fly it like you stole it!
