attn legal mags: can I get out of this?

Crock — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:10:57 GMT

I was just issued a summons for witness, and have to appear in court to testify coming up in a few weeks.

What I have to testify about, I was not present to "witness" and have already given written statements to both the police dept, and attorney.
The court date I was given sucks for me because it's right before finals and i have class that day. The court house is over an hour from where I live. Is there anyway to get out of this? Or am i really supposed to cancel my life for the court date, and any other dates they want me to appear during the trial?

Friends of Shames Mtn

OK maggots, rip me a new ass - whatever,:eek: but I have to post. I know I was an absolute supporter of the Shames Mtn Coop (and the subsequent thread THAT WAS DELETED) however there's been some developments that I would like to share. The SMC idea was started by a gent living in Argentina and his wife, who contacted me up in Terrace to see if there was local interest. There was, so after numerous emails and postings (WHICH WERE DELETED), and meetings, and phone calls - we formed a steering committee (composed of locals and the gent from down under). One of our first orders of business was that we call the "movement" to try and buy our little hill - "The Friends of Shames" NOT a "Coop" due to the fact that we didn't know what business model would be the right one to purchase the hill and keep it viable into the future. Reluctantly, the gent agreed to change the name, and the web page etc was changed to reflect this (out with SMC, in with FoS).

We (The Friends of Shames, the locals) organised a town hall meeting that was very well attended, including the committee member from beneath the equator. We made about 6 grand at the after-town-hall-party, to help us in our efforts (laywers and accountants and trips to vancouver etc aren't free). FoS organized a meeting in Vancouver with 5 members of FoS and 3 lawyers (OK one was retired), all with plenty of experience with non profits, and coops and the like. We met all day. We came out of the meeting with some great ideas, however some on the committee (the FoS steering committee was after all comprised of 9 people, not just the 5 who attended) needed us to bring the information back to our little village and discuss it amongst ourselves some more. Because $3M bucks is a lot of money, and none of us have that much spare change kicking around. Now I am all for getting down to business, and I have my opinion on which direction I'd like to see the ski hill go, however in a committee the majority need to make up their mind and some hadn't.

Last week, a few days after returning from the Vancouver trip I was informed that the gentleman from patagonia no longer wanted to be on the Friends of Shames steering committee. Nope, he didn't want to be a Friend of Shames any more. So he resigned, left us, vamoosed. And we wish him well.

The locally driven Friends of Shames are still investigating which model THEY feel is best for the long term sustainability of our little ski hill. To that end I would like to present our Press Release. Thanks for listening, eh.

FRIENDS OF SHAMES PURSUES SKI AREA OPTIONS

The Friends of Shames (FoS) steering committee continues to investigate multiple options for a sustainable future for Shames Mountain.

Friends of Shames is a steering committee made of up local people in the Terrace-Kitimat-Prince Rupert region committed to preserving this ski operation as an integral part of the community, local economy and key piece to the quality of life so many people in the region enjoy.

�The mandate of Friends of Shames is to pursue the best and most sustainable business model for future operations of Shames Mountain and work continues to pursue those options,� says Friends of Shames spokesperson Mary Bartlett.

�Those options are not limited to the co-op model, but could include other ways of creating a sustainable future for the mountain such as a non-profit society or a for-profit business model.� The committee anticipates having a decision on the business structure by the end of 2009.

The Friends of Shames are a separate entity from the Shames Mountain Co-op (SMC). Look for the upcoming FoS website to be launched in the coming weeks.

The committee looks forward to moving ahead with the Friends of Shames mandate and working with people who have passionately supported Shames for many years. Friends of Shames is committed to finding the best way to keep this incredible resource operating for years to come.

dps mount question

ccwaskier — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:57:04 GMT

I seem to remember the manual i got with some older dps skis telling me to use a 3.5mm bit instead of a 4.1mm. No instructions came with my new pure skis. Does dps still suggest this? Anything else besides no wood glue to tell the tech? Thanks.

REAR fog lights.

doughboyshredder — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:49:19 GMT

You think cars with their fog lights on are bad? Try driving behind a mini cooper with high intensity red rear fog lights. Asshole is blinding anyone that drives behind him.

I almost went full road rage on his sorry ass. Fuck, I need to calm down, but this guy came real close to getting his lights smashed out with a crescent wrench. Lucky for him (or me, I guess) I had been driving for over an hour and needed to piss like a race horse, so after pulling off the freeway and following him for a few, I said fuck it and got back to heading home.

end blog/ end rant, whatever.

35 minutes of McConkey video

couloirman — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:43:19 GMT

I was just wasting some time not studying today, when I came across this video someone just uploaded. It's McConkey's segments from what appears to be Focused, Yearbook, 7 Sunny Days, and In Deep. I'm always surprised by the number of skiers I talk to who haven't seen some of these clips of what is almost entirely McConkey and JT ski BASEing, so I thought Id share what I found.

Grab a beer before you start watching, you might not get out of your chair for a while...
