This is one of my favorite threads on the board. I nominate for the award of best thread.
Certain songs they get so scratched into our souls
I was just reminiscing about the wonderful story about the girl getting her ass fingered during Jay Z
You watch too much porn, Drinkey.
You are absolutely correct, Mugs
YEAH....this thread goes out to you .
Your a fucking disgusting pile of shit .
Here's the story . My friends and i got a sweet spot against the rail ( in the corner left side ) early in the day to post up for Jay Z , and to watch all the other great bands playing before . Two bitchy fat Mexican girls come over and wiggle their way in between us , and start making phone calls to their boyfriend ( lil black douche i will call him ) , so eventually lil black douche makes his way over , i see him stepping on people , shoving his way through the crowd , and just annoying the shit out of everyone to get to his fat girls . When he gets there ( right before LCD started ) hes right in front of my friend all grinding on his girl , then pulls out some lube , squirts it on his fingers , and sticks them in her ass . I could hear him say , " does it hurt , does it hurt " , and the whole time grinding away .
Lil black douche and the fat mexi girls are prime example of what alot of people this year seem to be complaining about , or is just my bad luck that i had to experience that annoying sack of shit ?
English guy I was camping next to in 2012 cut his toe, logical solution:
The guy is a living legend. If you're out there… I love you.

In 2012 I camped with a huge group (30+) of friends and coworkers which networked to people from LA, OC, Inland Empire, to San Diego. One night we were all hanging out, drinking, etc. to the point where someones music playing in the distance was that Big Sean song where it goes ASS ASS ASS ASS, and in our hammered state, we chant ASS ASS ASS ASS ASS ASS as loud as we can. And anything we found amusing ended up turning into an ASS chant.
The next day we're at the water line between Mojave and Sahara when we overheard some people having a conversation about how tired they were and how they might take a nap because they were kept up by a bunch of people yelling ASS ASS ASS ASS all night.
Coachella Class of '09, '10, '11, '12W2, '13W1, '14W1
Find me in that Barry Sanders jersey.
2013, Weekend 2, at the DoLab, I fell off the stage towards the crowd. Someone help my friends and I find a video or at least a picture of this so we can relive the hilarious event!
2012 Weekend 2 two guys dressed up as mothra and godzilla were going around the campsite every night fighting and making some spot on noises. They weren't responding to anyone. Security was following them around for a while trying to get them to stop but the just kept on doing their thing.
Weekend 1, in 2012. There was a big bamboo art structure next to the sahara tent, a guy started climbing up and of course gets noticed immediately and a crowd draws quick. He makes it up basically to the top and hangs out and is getting cheered upon and security is just waiting for him to come back down.. He nearly makes it to the bottom and then a bystander just walks up and tells him to go back up.. And the hippie started climbing up to the top again! Security was pissed but he kept getting cheered at..
Then on his 2nd decent, a bamboo breaks off that he was holding on and he falls about 12ft.. Absolutely hilarious--->
1:53 is when he goes back up again, and around 2:23 is when he falls.

That guy was such an idiot. We were right there when it happened. My brother, a doctor, was going to go check on him, but security was there and Greg didn't want to get involved unless it was absolutely necessary.

lets meet at the snail. wait the snail moves. maybe the snail stays still and its the world moving around the snail.
I was on the rail at Motorhead, when a fat guy pushes me so he could get the rail where I was. He says "I hope you don't mind me here, because I don't mind at all." A couple minutes later he turned to someone who was standing nearby and asked "Did you come all this way just for Coachella?"
Prepare for a tl;dr
During the Lana Del Rey wait, the crowd was a clusterfuck. This was the first crowd-push I felt all weekend. Just my luck, I had a pair of twatty lovebirds (SoCal douchebro and flower girl - surprise!) behind my buddy and me. They had just met at the fest, and I got to hear their entire getting-to-know-you-eye-rolling-vomitous-bullshit, but OH there were some gems:
Douchebro: You're so beautiful, you're perfect!
Flowergirl: You're pretty cute, too, I like your smile!
DB: Oh, thanks! I'm actually pretty insecure about my teeth...
FG: Yeah, one of them is crooked...
DB: Oh my God, you're so beautiful!
FG: Tell me about yourself, do you eat exotic foods?
DB: Uhhhhhhhhhhhh...well I can't answer that, not off the top of my head anyway...
FG: I'm tohhhhtally a foodie, so burgers and pizza all the time wouldn't do it for me.
DB: Oh! No, I'm not about that at all! I...uh...I've had some deer before...and elk, too, I think.
FG: What about your parents, are they still together?
DB: No, my parents are divorced.
FG: Oh, that's sad.
DB: Yeah, my dad's been divorced 4 times and my mom's been divorced 3 times.
FG: Oh! Ummm...
DB: Are your parents still married?
FG: Yeah...do you believe in divorce?
DB: Do I believe in it? Oh, no, of course not!
FG: (Silence)
DB: Well, I mean, it's worked for my parents and they're both really happy since they've been divorced...
DB: What do you hate?
FG: Snail drivers...and people who point, I can't stand them!
DB: Yeah, right, they're the worst!

Divorce is always good for a happy relationship.
On Friday I saw this guy fall off the medical cart... this may sound not funny, but he tumbled and landed like a cartoon character and left everyone in shock. There were two people in the cart that was carrying him (both sitting up front). I don't know why one of them wasn't securing him in the back. They picked him up, put him back in the cart and carried on.
Guy taps me on the shoulder twenty minutes into Tiga: "Who is that? Is that Tiga?
Me: "Yeah"
Guy: "Is he singing? Why is Tiga singing??? What's going on?????"
Me: "Hahaha, nah dude, I don't think he's singing."
Guy: Who is that?...Is that Tiga? He's singing!!! OH MY GOD TIGA IS SINGING!!! TIGAAAAA!!!"

Last year, on Thursday after setting up camp we went to go check out the big light-up dome in the camping area- and some woman was staggering on the path nearby and fell over, very drunk. Some big dude comes up to her and just starts yelling at her, "IT'S DAY ZERO GIRL! IT'S FUCKING DAY ZERO"
there was a guy crowd surfing during QOTSA and this big buff guy in front of me turns around and yells all excitedly "I want to do that!" looks at me and says "lift me up" (im a pretty small girl). i grab him around the stomach and pretend to throw him up. he goes "no no no, you have to lift from the legs." made me smile.
also a girl pushing through the crowd before muse... "i'm going to the front and i'm not gonna be polite about it."
some young rave girl to her friends, "omigod its the Muse crowd, we've got to get out of here." runs towards Skrillex.
Was it just me or did the amount of mollied-out bros seem excessively high this year?

From the Chicago Tribune:
The University of California, Los Angeles Library has purchased the literary archive of Susan Sontag, one of the best-known and most influential American intellectuals of the late 20th Century. Sources close to the sale say the library paid $1.1 million for the materials, $440,000 of which is for her personal library. Funds were donated by an anonymous UCLA alumna.
Sontag, 69, was reared in Tucson, Ariz., and Los Angeles but has lived in New York for more than four decades. She said her first choice for placement of her archive would have been the New York Public Library, but added \"it is a source of great pleasure to me that it is going to a place I had a connection with. Southern California has been part of my life.\"
A bit more. Even more from the Las Vegas Sun.
From the New York Times (registration required.):
For most former mayors of New York City, the trip into the dusty files of history began with hundreds of boxes of mayoral papers and artifacts being carted from City Hall across Chambers Street to the Municipal Archives in the old Surrogate\'s Court. There, city archivists undertake a long, slow process of sorting and indexing.
Aides and friends of Rudolph W. Giuliani, however, decided that he deserved better. So, on Dec. 24, just a week before leaving office, Mr. Giuliani\'s staff hammered out an unusual agreement with the city\'s Department of Records and Information Services, giving custody of all of his mayoral papers and artifacts to a private nonprofit group that Mr. Giuliani will control . . .
But the transfer of these items, which remain city property, into the custody of the nonprofit group, the Rudolph W. Giuliani Center for Urban Affairs Inc., has drawn the ire of some archivists and historians, who fear that Mr. Giuliani will try to filter history to bolster his image . . .
\"It\'s particularly a terrible idea, because the Giuliani administration had a very dismal record on making information accessible to the public,\" said Michael Wallace, a historian and co-author of \"Gotham: a History of New York to 1898.\"
From the New York Times (registration required):
The Jerome Robbins Dance Division of the New York Public Library of the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center is one of the city\'s great cultural treasure troves. It is the largest dance archive in the world, with holdings that date back to 1460. But even dance fanatics tend to forget about this research center once known simply as \"the Dance Collection.\"
What could dance, that restlessly vital art form, have to do with dusty tomes pored over in sleep-inducing fluorescent light and in tomblike silence?
Or tried to, anyhow - a flood of genealogists has swamped the servers of the UK\'s Public Records Office, which unveiled the online version of the census this week:
The growing fascination with family history came to the fore this week when an estimated 20m people attempted to access the newly launched online version of the 1901 census.
Designed to cope with just 1.2m visitors a day, the site effectively seized up with a couple of hours and within 24 hours had been withdrawn for a quick overhaul that the Public Records Office said would allow more people to log on.
Plans to put all Victorian census records online are also to be speeded up to meet the obvious demand from a public fascinated with when their relatives were born, married and died and how they lived their lives . . .
An editorial from the London Evening Standard:
The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there. Or so LP Hartley told us in the opening sentence of his novel The Go-Between, published in 1953. But we\'re now keener than mustard to catch hold of all our yesterdays.
Two days ago, the Kewbased Public Record Office was stunned by the overwhelmingly avid response to its decision to put the 1901 census on line (the most recent census released under the 100-year rule that protects individuals\' privacy). I\'m surprised at its surprise. The Public Record Office should have known that, these days, everyone wants to be a DIY historian . . .
More. The 1901 census data can be examined here, although as Ananova recently reported, heavy demand is making it difficult to use the site.
This site is just plain cool, it\'s a quirky historical archive of
short, old movies and films (ads, educational, propaganda films, and others)
available in two different formats: .mpg (mpeg-2) and DivX
.avi\'s (mpeg-4).
From Archive.org\'s description:
\"This collection contains movies that the Prelinger
Archives has digitized (about 956 now online) and donated to the Internet
Archive. The films focus mainly on everyday life, culture, industry, and
institutions in North America in the 20th century.\"

Museums and libraries around the country are hoping to get their hands on artifacts from the September 11 terrorist attacks. The items range from personal memorabilia from victims and survivors, to makeshift flags, cards, notes, photographs, and more.

A web site may also be created where people from all over the country can submit the email that they sent on that day. More

\"Coca Cola is building an online digital media archive, which will make it the first company to move an entire advertising and brand history to an online digital media environment.

ABC News' Rick Klein (@rickklein) reports:
As President Obama engages in high-level talks to reach a deal on the debt ceiling, House Democrats are issuing a stark warning that they'd better be part of any agreement.
On ABC's "Top Line" today, Rep. John Yarmuth, a member of the House Budget Committee, said it's not "responsible policymaking" to use debt ceiling talks to determine major policy areas.
"What I think is really unfortunate is that we're using this debt-ceiling crisis to basically circumvent the budgetary process, and I don't think that's responsible policymaking," said Yarmuth, D-Ky. "You're not going to end up with anything that the American public understand or appreciates or is willing to buy into if you do this down at the White House, and then present us with a fait accompli."
Yarmuth pointed out that House Speaker John Boehner will almost certainly need Democratic votes to push through a compromise, given the vow of so many Republicans to oppose a higher debt limit under virtually any circumstances.
"We're not sure where the negotiations are, so it's hard to tell how many votes he can actually bring to the table, [and] how many Democrats he would need. It's all up in the air," he said. "That's why I think these quiet negotiations are not the responsible way to go about long-term policymaking. We need to have this process out in the public eye."
Yarmuth said he's "willing to have conversations about anything," including changes to Social Security, as part of budget talks. But he blasted Republicans for ruling out higher taxes as part of a solution.
"It's clear that they're not very serious about actually reducing the deficit," Yarmuth said. "What they're trying to do is use this debt-ceiling deadline, taking the economy hostage so they can get things done in entitlements that they otherwise could not get through."
He wants a package that's tailored to protect the most vulnerable:
"If it's all an impact on low- and moderate-income Americans, I think it's going to be a really hard sell in my caucus," Yarmuth said.
Yarmuth also made a bold prediction: If Rep. Michele Bachmann is the Republican presidential nominee, he told us, "President Obama would win all 50 states."

Last week Boogie Woogie Mummy's Championship had the first round of elimination, where 30 mothers from all over the nation competed to fulfill their hidden desires of dancing. Ten out of the thirty were selected to go to the next round.
The Telly Buzz team talks to four of the ten contestants who compete for the winning title.
I am Sonali, from Kolkatta. I have a six year old daughter and a two year old son. My daughter is in Kolkatta with my parents, and I am here with my son, I am baby sitting and dancing, so it just gets hectic for me at times. My sister was a participant, but unfortunately she couldn�t make it to the top 10. I couldn�t make her stay here with me, so she�s gone back to Kolkatta. My husband passed away in the Tsunami, I guess everyone knows about it after the last episode, so life at times gets tough, but as they say, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going� Hopefully my daughter should join me in a few days time; she�ll be there to cheer me in the next episode! The experience here has been great, the people here are extremely nice, we get to wear such new outfits, and flaunt in costumes, it feels great to be a part of this show!
Sonia Jaswal:
I am Suneeta from
am Megha, 34 years old. I have two daughters. I do not know any
classical form of dancing, I used to dance as a kid, and I have got that
in me from my mom. She is an excellent dancer. I am from Jai Hind
college, Mumbai, I used to take part in the cultural events in college.
I quit dancing after marriage. One day, I performed in my daughter�s
school event, and the principle was very impressed and she asked me to
come and begin teaching in her school, so now I am a part time dance
teacher. I couldn�t have asked for a better opportunity to let out my
talent, I am having a blast here, with the make up, the costumes, the
photo shoots, and all the attention, it just feels out of this world!
the mummies the very best. One can learn a lot from these ladies, who
are striving at various ages to fulfill their desires. That�s what we
call 'Living life to the core'.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 - 6 nights
Location: In Hound Ears Club near Boone, North Carolina in Blue Ridge Mountains. USA (15 minutes to Blowing Rock) View map.
Accommodations: House, 3 bedrooms + loft. 3 baths (sleeps 8)
You will experience the ultimate relaxation sitting on our large private deck surrounded by a canopy of mature trees and listening to a bubbling mountain stream as it rushes through the yard of our enchanting mountain home. This may be a time to read, reflect or just take a nap as you enjoy the wonders of nature. A meal cooked on an outdoor grill and served on the deck will provide many hours of family togetherness and conversation. A huge rock in front of the deck also provides a sitting area to enjoy this clear flowing stream as it journeys down the mountainside. This unique place has an unusual and fascinating history. It was never built to be a rental. The original builder was Terry Sanford, former Governor of North Carolina and U. S. Senator. This charming home served for many years as the summer home and family getaway for the Sanford family. Neighbors still recall how the Governor walked down the mountain each morning to the Hound Ears clubhouse for his coffee and daily newspaper.
This comfortable home with 3 bedrooms and a loft can sleep 8 people. 3 colorfully decorated bathrooms join these sleeping facilities. The Governor's master bedroom has a king bed with a private bathroom and a flat screen TV. A second bedroom has a queen bed with a private bath and a flat screen TV. A third bedroom has twin beds and the full bathroom is just outside the door. The loft has twin beds. There is a new large flat screen TV in the family room. WiFi (high speed internet) is provided.
You will find all the comforts in this well equipped home to make your vacation one to be remembered. A well stocked kitchen with everything you need to prepare a delicious meal is provided. The kitchen has new appliances. A beautiful stone wood burning fireplace can cultivate an atmosphere of coziness and warmth on a cool mountain evening.
You will feel safe and secure in this mountain retreat. It is located in Hound Ears Club, a prestigious gated community with 24 hour security. The Watauga River, one of the best trout streams in the south, borders the Hound Ears property and is very convenient for those who dream of the ultimate fishing experience.
The Hound Ears, Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk area provides all the opportunities necessary for a fulfilling vacation for adults as well as children. Many fantastic hiking trails are easily accessible including those on the Blue Ridge Parkway and Grandfather Mountain. Blowing Rock is a haven for antique shoppers and for those who enjoy outlet shopping as well as live theatre. Excellent restaurants can be found in the entire area. Tweetsie Railroad, Hawks Nest Zip line, gem mining, and Valle Crucis park (picnicking, playground, swimming, basketball) and the wildlife park at Grandfather Mountain will provide unforgettable fun experiences for any child, as well as your entire family. During the winter months, avid skiers and snowboarders can enjoy some of the best ski resorts in the eastern US only a very short drive from Hound Ears.
Keywords: House in gated community, large deck, mountain stream, near great entertainment/arts/ restaurants/fishing, hiking and skiing.
Barbara is a retired surgical nurse and Ron is a retired pastor. This home has been in our family since the mid 90s and we have come to love and appreciate the enchanting surrounding area of Boone and Blowing Rock. The lure of the mountains draws us here again and again as we enjoy all that the area has to offer. We have spent treasured hours with our children and grandchildren in Hound Ears. Kids and grownups alike can have fun and good times in our mountain home. We are sure you can have the same experience.
Ron and Barbara, Maryville, Tennessee
Barbara Hammond purchased this house in 1993
My brother bought this home from Gov. Terry Sanford in 1993 and we secured the property in 1996. Through the years we have enjoyed so much getting away to this special place. The mountains truly are magical.
Our home is kid friendly but there are steps to the loft. Our grandchildren enjoy playing in the mountain stream. Valle Crucis Park is located behind the original Mast General Store. This park is a wonderful place for family activities- picnicking, fishing, soccer, basketball, and playground area. Kids can play while parents walk the large oval track along side the scenic Watauga River. Children as well as adults will enjoy the thrills of Tweetsie Railroad Amusement Park' , 'Grandfather Mountain with its hiking trails, museum, wildlife park and fantastic views is a must ' , 'Great base for exploring the Blue Ridge Parkway and leaf watching in autumn' , 'The Watauga River, which runs along side Hound Ears, provides outstanding trout fishing amid the beautiful scenery' , 'Collegiate sports at Appalachian State University' , 'The area provides many opportunities for golfing'

/ Gloves for Scotland
I also opened this in gear, but then thought the winter would prob get the attention of "people who know".
I want a second pair of gloves for the up coming winter fun, 1 pair and some mitts just wasn't enough once they had soaked through they were only just dry come the next day.
I currently have a smallpair of Mountain Equipment gloves, the Lowe Alpine Freeride Gloves on Joe Brown's website have caught my eye but can't find many reviews.
I did look at the Mammut Alpine 2010 gloves but they didn't get great reviews.
�50 quid is really my max spend I think.
You'll need about 6 pairs per season. Mountain Equipment Randonee or Mountain Stretch get my vote, or Outdoor Research Extravert.
Investing in a pair of overmitts - I have a Gore-Tex pair which cost �30- is worth thinking about. I Have winter climbed in Scotland for 30+ years and combined with my old Dachsteins they are the perfect combination- unfortunately took me 29+ years to discover this
I use Gore-tex shell mitts for everything in winter (they are just like a gore-tex bag for your hands). I just put an appropriate glove/liner underneath.
They don't absorb water and you don't have the same struggle of trying to put damp gloves onto damp/cold hands.
I used to have a pair of these but eventually grew to hate them, as it felt like wearing a pair of crisp packets.
I eventually settled on a system which combined Dachstein mitts for hillwalking and bad weather, and some Windstopper gloves which actually worked really well for more technical climbing.
I have to recommend the Chamonix Bin Men Gloves. Bought a pair this summer and used them on routes in the Alps and new routing in the Tien Shan.
I waxed them to stop the leather soaking much water up, and carry other pairs of gloves and mits as well, however for someone who struggles with cold hands they worked very well in the cold conditions.
The only place ive found them in the UK is Ebay

It's all a matter of taste - I have a penchant for cheese and onion
In recent years I've used ninja ice work gloves after seeing them recommended on here. Cheap and light so you can pack a few pairs. Sizing is small. http://www.ninjagloves.com/
I've got 3 pairs of these to trial this winter. Bought them last year but alas never got out ice climbing :( Bought a pair for a mate and he said they can run a bit cold, but yeah most would want to pair them up with some mits for belays.
I'm coming around to this being the best system - cheap thinner dextrous gloves for climbing, mits for belays. (similar to the belay jacket principle)
> I have to recommend the Chamonix Bin Men Gloves.
I'm not sure if these are the ones you mean but the ubiquitous "Guide Gloves" are available in the UK from Snow Shepherd:
I don't think mits are they way forward for the climbing - too clumsy and slow for most people, they are fine to chuck on at belays once you've set it up though.
Hve you tried the ninjas? I think they are about 6 quid a pair
SKYTEC-Argon-HPT-Foam-Coated-Cold-Grip-Glove (on ebay)
recommended by guides in the alps and scotland!
The Ninja Black ice are the same as the Skytec Argon, just with a different branding or colour.
They are a stretchy tight fit for dexterity but it's still difficult to get smaller sizes for short fingers. Ideally you need to try them on.
I bought six pairs for about �30 three years ago expecting them to be almost disposable at only �5.00 a pair.
Since then I've been using two of the pairs most of the time in Scotland for winter courses and climbing and they're still going strong!
They've been the only gloves I've used in the Alps during the past few summers on mixed ice routes.
I've also used them leading for two seasons ice climbing in La Grave.
Designed with great grip and dexterity for engineers and mechanics they are ideal for climbers placing and removing gear. A bit too grippy for coiling the rope easily though.
The only drawbacks I've found is when your hands get really wet, it's difficult to put them on or to take them off. However as the dexterity is so good you often don't need to take them off to faff with gear and the rubber grip makes them ideal for icy rock climbing.
They can take ages to dry unless you reverse the inner linings out and afterwards putting the fingers back in, is a test of patience!
Not the warmest of gloves for hanging around in, but great for leading or moving quickly.
I suffer from poor circulation and have always had big problems with my hands going numb and getting the hot aches. Yet despite this I been pleasantly surprised at how rarely I've needed to use my back up Extremities wind pro berber fleece gloves or Buffalo mits.
BTW great for placing ice screws when leashless ice climbing ;-)
Cheers Ron
Do you have the ones that just cover up to your knucles with the rubber leaving the backs with fabric? Do you think the version that covers the whole hand with rubber would be better?
I have Argon's size medium with rubber on knuckles and backs in stretchy fabric...
Not sure what the difference would be apart from maybe stiffer to fit but then more windproof on the back of the hand!
well I guess they would get wetter slower (but dry slower) too. Also a bit less flexible.
I may trial run some :)
Some some advertised at 60ish quid which I could just stretch to, but they aren't in stock anywhere.
Two or three pairs of these will keep you right...i run v cold and have found these to be great. Apply a bit of nikwax as they soak through quickly.
Back them up with the montane extreme glove for belay and the Outdoor designs summit inferno mitt for when yer bollock cold.
Hot aches will still be a feature but put yer belay gloves under yer pits and that should help.
I was having a quick look on the MachineMart website today and found they are selling the Argon Skytec gloves under the Dickies brand. They only seem to have them in L and XL, but maybe worth a look if anyone has a local shop and wants to check sizing?
AS for the OP's question, I bought the Mountain Equipment Guide gloves last year. They're �45 now, and whilst I don't do any mental winter climbing (yet), I've found them warm, robust with a full leather grip, and have handy features like the built in retaining cords. I don't know how they'd fair for hard mixed climbing, but they feel quite dextrous to me for a fairly thick glove, just another pair to check out as most shops have them?
I bought my size medium Argon gloves from
They are currently selling for �5.40 plus Vat
In my opinion, pay the extra tenner!
Hope that helps.
I've used a variety of work gloves over the years for leading. Lately I've found Timberland Dry Extreme to be fairly good, apart from an annoying downside- the velcro wrist closure leaves a bit of skin exposed, even when fastened.
Think I'll have a look at the Ninja gloves mentioned above. I'm allergic to spending 50 bar on a pair of branded 'climbing' gloves!
My belay solution is a pair of Dachsteins inside Goretex mitt shells. If I dropped a glove I could use a Dachstein and continue the day happily.
I just tried to buy 3 pairs of those gloves- they wanted �8 delivery!!!
CurlyStevo mentioned eBay as a source (assuming they are same glove ?) and these seem to be �6.48 all in.
Cheers to yourself and Curly Stevo.
That's why I bought six pairs to avoid the delivery charges as it used to be free over �30. Looks like the delivery is now free over a �100, so you'll have to buy about �20 pairs to save on delivery ;-)
Too tight for a thin wool liner underneath Ron?
I havn't tried the Ninja's but would like too, though lack of waterproofing worries me. I'd recommend the Dickies insulated (thinsulate lining on them,) work gloves for a few years now and love them. In Scotland in winter my bugbear is that the cuffs are a little short (I will bodge this year by using a cuff off another glove,) but I use them instead of a pair of BD Punishers which I found wear out quickly. For Alpine use the dickies gloves are superb. I nikwax them regularly to keep waterproof.
> The Ninja Black ice are the same as the Skytec Argon, just with a different branding or colour.
Cheers Ron... just ordered a pair from Ebay for �6.49...
> Too tight for a thin wool liner underneath Ron?
They're a tight fit for dexterity so liners would't work that well...
> CurlyStevo mentioned eBay as a source (assuming they are same glove ?) and these seem to be �6.48 all in.
Yup, just ordered some too, as they had S, for us blokes with ridiculously small hands :o)
> They're a tight fit for dexterity so liners would't work that well...
Ta Ron, just thought I'd ask before ordering a couple of pairs!
+1 for the ME Super Alpine gloves. I've found them a good balance between warmth and dexterity but I don't think they'd be enough in very cold conditions or if you run cold.
I'd suggest a pair of liner gloves to walk in, Super Alpines or similar to climb in with a spare pair in case they get wet and a pair of pile mits in case you get cold and as a warm-up option for belays.
Funny you should say that....I was showing a bunch of FE students what kit to get for a Winter Skills trip in Decathlon today and made a similar comment on the the inverse relationship between cost of glove to time. Mind you I have two pairs of each glove, walk in gloves, tech climbing gloves, belay mitts, super cold gloves, summer glacier gloves etc and none cost more than �20'ish and very few are 'climbing gloves'.
I have even ordered a pair of Ron Walkers recomended gloves to add to the box, well they only cost �6 inc P & P.
A;so very good for cold meat and freezer section in Asda. Do take big mitts for belays but I never used mine, as I was warm enough. Happy climbing.
Just bought a couple of pairs of the Dickies leather gloves....they seem sturdy and warm. Time will tell.
I got a pair of Dickies ones off Cragmonkey, (thanks), and they seem OK. Have daubed 'em with wax, so we'll see.
I also bought a really nice pair off the 'net, as I have small fingers, but at S, they were too tight. Better insulated than the Dickies, and fabulous nubuck-type material.
'leather work thermal safety Sperian Deer Fit Thinsulate Glove'
SKYTECH ARGON THERMAL GLOVE approx �7.00 a pair lined freezer glove.
I have to agree; these are by far the best gloves i have ever used. I don't understand why people use anything else? I waterproofed the back of a pair with nikwax and made them completely water proof but this was maybe not that necessary. They are also surprisingly hard wearing; i hammered them with ropework last season and didn't wear a pair out.
Oh and they are extremely grippy for leashless monkies.
Enough said? Now, where can i buy shares in SKYTECH...
James e
SKYTECH ARGON THERMAL GLOVE approx �7.00 a pair lined freezer glove.
Just ordered a pair from Amazon (Arco and all the usual lab suppliers wanted more for shipping than the cost of the gloves). Be interesting to see how they perform.
�6.95 from Amazon but I already had the account and all my details saved so it was quick and easy :-)
Sounds like your hands are bigger than mine; i wear a size 8 and they fit me like a glove.... (i'll get my coat)
I bought a pair for my nephew in the forces, he thought they were excellent too.
You really need to try them on as the are a nice neat fit and offer great dexterity. The bigger sizes will easily fit you, but you could end up with the tips of the finger catching on crabs. This was why I down sized from my large sized gloves to a medium size.
Not easy to get the smaller sizes in the UK unless someone knows better..!
First impressions: thin pile liner is warm and they feel fairly robust. The wrists covers are long which will be good for blood flow to the hands warm. Making a clenched fist is a bit hard due to the way the gloves pull on the backs of the hands - maybe this will soften up with time?
Looking forward to trying them out in anger.
If you look on some of the ice climbing vids on the other thread you'll notice people using the ninjas (same as the argons) in anger.
Interesting, I was just about to post a question about the wrists length. They look very short in this pic
Are they the same gloves?
Thanks, Loz
Just bought some of these at lunchtime from Machine Mart.
The wrists are longer than that pic. At least 1.5 inches beyond bony protuberance of medial wrist (pinky side lump on back of wirst at base of hand).
About as long as you'd expect for gloves like this. Not short like that pic. So length isn't a problem. Waterproofness of the wrist bit would be only concern. As discussed above.
Fit great so if no good for climbing will find plenty of uses for me :)
Thanks Bruce.
I found the fingers relatively long. Was sure I'd be XL, but ended up with L as the XLs weren't snug across the end of fingertips. (Since these are for precision work.)
So it is a tough one. The L are good fit, with perhaps just a tiny bit of pulling across back of fingers on flex. So I'd be right at the top of their range.
It'd be tough to order without testing. I don't really wear too many standard gloves but usually take XL in most. My longest finger (middle) is 88mm long (tip to web) if that helps. But I have very skinny fingers and hand :)
Index finger = 79
Middle finger = 90 (avg both sides)
Ring finger = 86
Little finger = 61
And I estimate I've got nearly 8-10mm left at the end of each finger. Going to order a Large pair and see what happens. At least I can use the too big ones for gardening :)
> If you look on some of the ice climbing vids on the other thread you'll notice people using the ninjas (same as the argons) in anger.
God, this has moved on since I last looked! Glad to see folk are thinking outside the flashy marketing box and looking at performance and function rather than fashion!
Maybe worth looking at Helly Lifa work-wear thermals and other pile garments such as Buffalo. You'll save loads of money on durable winter kit that'll last you a lifetime ;-)
What's this other ice climbing video thread showing the Ninjas?
Cheers Ron (Sponsored by your local charity shop and Duct Tape!)
Bought a pair of these argon gloves. They seem really good.
> I waterproofed the back of a pair with nikwax and made them completely water proof but this was maybe not that necessary.
I just bought a pair of the Skytech's off ebay after being a dickies user for a few years. (I offered to review them for UKC once but was told that they weren't "recognised outdoor gear,") They have greater cuff length, which was my big bugbear with the dickies and the back, which I thought may get damp has a hydrorepellent treatment that seems to work well. The Skytech Mediums are similar in size to the large Dickies gloves. As to which is better, I'll know in a month or two, but the Skytech will have to do well to be as good as the dickies on alpine rock!
Anyone found a source of small or xs that you don't have to buy in bulk as the other half is keen...
Hi Ron,
I'm willing to take your word on the gloves, I also buy cheap thermals (and fleeces) seem to work fine to me! But I can't stand pile and pertex ;)
The ice climbing vids are here but you've prolly seen a lot of them.
Bye for now.....
Good shout!
2 pairs for a tenner, free post (FedEx) very grippy, long enough wrist cuffs, tough material, warm and fleecy, dexterous feel for fiddling with gear. A real bargain for a mid weight glove. Also Perfect for pushing the car out of snowdrifts! Now for some ' Alpine Binmans gloves'.
Snow Shepherd website...you can text to ask if they have your size in stock. Venitex and Kinco leather 'ski gloves'
If so then people should check the Marmot Basic Work gloves, as they look very similar and are excellent. I've only �20 euro for my ones. http://lightfromthenorth.blogspot.fi/2012/10/marmot-basic-work-glove-review.html
I bought a couple of pairs of these last winter. They are quite thick, so good for belaying and easy routes, but I wouldn't lead anything interesting in them.
I used the Skytech Argons in the wet on the great ridge of Garbh Beinn this weekend and they were very good.
Ok the Argons in XL are pretty much a perfect fit on me although there is a tiny bit of tightening across the back of my hand when I make a fist. They seem pretty robust and warm but I'll wait for some axe based silliness to confirm that!
I'm a spot on fit for the XL, sizing is:
10cm across the palm, 9.5cm middle finger, 22.5cm tip of middle finger to wrist

Adam - www.Dortechdirect.co.uk
Ha ha!! re you a climber, or did someone direct you here? In any case, my girlfriend would like some of the Skytech Argon in Small or XS if you would consider getting them in stock?
Hi Jonnie!
I'm not sure why we only stock 3 sizes. I'll get on to Argon tomorrow and see if I can help you.
I'd buy another pair of size small argon gloves if you stocked them.
My votes are for the Simond Bionnassay leather gloves from Decathlon - as warm as bin mens but more dextrous. They're �20 from Decathlon, but I bought 4 pairs when they were on special offer for a tenner. ME Guides are good value but lack a little on dexterity; tend to use them on lower grade routes where it's easier to stand around placing gear and with less frequency. When it gets cold and technical, another vote for Punishers.
It seems as if many of the bank account-friendly work gloves recommended here are not commonly sold in sizes wee enough to fit women with small hands. :/ I couldn't find the Dickies or Argons in small when searching on Google.
Any recommendations if you're a woman with small hands?
I'm waiting for a reply from Dortech direct about smalls, will post when I hear.
And I think I've figured out who you are, so I'll put in an order for you if I get some for Carol...
Just call Adam at Dortech, very helpfully.
Also I found an email to Skytech Argon re nearest supplier was answered very quickly.
A text to Snow Shepherd will tell you if they have the Alpine binmans glove in your size in stock.
My local TKmaxx have loads of quality ladies Ski/outdoors gloves in stock too....in wee toattie sizes! Also have good number of 'brands' in shells, mid layers, thermals etc. worth a look if your near one.
> Just call Adam at Dortech, very helpfully.
What did he say? Does he have smalls? (Save me asking the same question twice...)
Sorry I didn't ask about size smalls, but I found the XL pretty spot on.
As I mentioned, try emailing the importer direct for a supplier near you?!
Those Sperian ones I mentioned above seem very good, and are in small. Google them (or look on E Bay)
they are gore tex extrafit(no slippy liner) and primaloft on the back of the hand so you can still feel what your doing,cant reccomend them enough.
cheers cliff...
For anyone interested in the above...
> And I think I've figured out who you are, so I'll put in an order for you if I get some for Carol...
Yes, you probably have. :) If gloves fit Carol, they'll fit me. We're probably about the same size.
Jonnie, Sorry for just getting back to you;
Unfortunately I can't get hold of anything smaller than 8,
I'll let you know if we do manage to stock these in the neer distant future.
Regards, Adam - Dortech Direct
You could try the marmot basic work gloves. They come in women and girly mens sizes. And are�17 but I've never used them so don't know how good.

Modern Navy presents cybersecurity challenge
PORTLAND, Maine — Combining mechanical and combat systems into an integrated network aboard U.S. warships presents cybersecurity challenges, but there's no evidence that a Navy ship has ever been hacked, according to one of the Navy's top cybersecurity officials.
The stealthy Zumwalt that's under construction at Maine's Bath Iron Works represents the highest level of automation and integration to date on a destroyer, Rear Adm. William Leigher said.

text: Who are you looking forward to watching? Who will win? etc. etc. etc. I'm really looking forward to watching Kapron Lewis-Moore. I'm surprised he hasn't been valued that highly draft-wise. The only ND game where I've really docused on individual play was USC and I thought Lewis-Moore was as impressive as Tuitt. So it'll be interesting to see whether that was just a flash in the pan. Also looking forward to watching Jesse Williams. Would like him to show some ability beyond just run-stopping as good as he is at that.

Another charming line amidst all the bragging about money and being the best in the game: "Tired of every chick saying she models before she swallows."
Toward the end of the track, which leans heavily on a sample of late Temptations frontman David Ruffin's "The Double Cross", J. admits with a laugh that he's "talking shit."
Well, more power to the Roc Nation rapper for rhyming Jamaican, Hatian, datin', Sanaa Lathan and Satan. But overall, the main feeling we're left with after listening to "Grew Up Fast" is that we need to download "The Double Cross" ASAP.

Foyer light.
By Theresa D. from Raleigh, NC on Apr 26, 2012
Bargain Hunter, Practical, Casual Do-It-Yourselfer, Designer, High-End Shopper, Stylish, Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
The Beveled Glass on the top and bottom are clear, but the larger center glass panels are not clear. I am going to try to use some kind of glass cleaner, but it will be difficult with the location of it on the ceiling.
I have NEVER, had to worry about glass on a chandlier. This was a suprise because it was not noticed until the light bulbs were installed.
I had this exact light in my old home, but purchased it from a lighting store. That is the only problem with purchasing items online. It isn't so easy to make returns.

Granite City Food & Brewery® Reports 35.7% Increase In Revenue In Third Quarter 2012
Third Quarter 2012 Financial Results
Total revenue for third quarter 2012 increased by 35.7% to $31.1 million compared to $22.9 million for the third quarter of 2011. The five Cadillac Ranch restaurants acquired in November and December of 2011 and the one Cadillac Ranch restaurant acquired in May 2012 accounted for approximately $5.9 million of the $8.2 million increase in sales. Total cost of sales before occupancy was $23.5 million in the third quarter of 2012 or 75.3% of revenue compared to prior year third quarter cost of sales before occupancy of $17.6 million or 76.9% of revenue.
General and administrative expenses were $2.3 million or 7.4% of revenue for the third quarter of 2012 compared to $2.0 million or 8.7% of revenue for the third quarter of 2011. As this increase was primarily attributable to expenses associated with our Cadillac Ranch acquisitions, we expect similar general and administrative expenses in future months. However, we believe that the benefit of restaurant, menu and food upgrades and future restaurant unit growth will help to reduce general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue.
The net loss for the third quarter of 2012 was $0.9 million compared to a net loss of $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2011. Additional depreciation due to the purchase of Cadillac Ranch assets, expenses related to pre-opening costs, and costs related to the Cadillac Ranch asset acquisitions totaled approximately $0.7 million, thus affecting our net income in the third quarter of 2012. Net loss per share available to common shareholders was $(0.14) and $(0.26) for the third quarters of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Net loss per share available to common shareholders in the third quarter of 2012 included $(0.03) attributable to a declared dividend. There was a weighted average of 8.0 million and 4.7 million shares of common stock outstanding in the third quarters of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] US/PAKISTAN/GOV - Grossman holds talks with Pakistani leadership
Released on 2012-10-18 17:00 GMT
|2011-05-19 18:53:42
ISLAMABAD: US special envoy Marc Grossman held talks with Pakistana**s
leadership on Thursday, stepping up efforts to smooth over a crisis
sparked by the US operation that killed Osama bin Laden.
In the second high-profile American visit to Pakistan in days, the special
representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan held talks with President Asif
Ali Zardari and other senior cabinet ministers in Islamabad.
In a brief statement, Islamabad said only that the meeting followed talks
with US Senator John Kerry on Monday, when both sides tried to smooth over
mutual distrust exacerbated by the May 2 raid in Abbottabad that killed
the al Qaeda chief.
Kerry said Pakistan was stepping up efforts to battle extremists and help
stabilise Afghanistan, where US-led foreign troops are trying to end a
10-year Taliban insurgency, amid pressure on US lawmakers to cut aid to
He said there were a number of a**actionsa** that would lead to an
improvement of the relationship and that were being undertaken.
a**They are concrete, they are precise, they are measurable and they are
in many cases joint a** and we will know precisely what is happening with
them in very, very short order,a** he said.
Kerry said senior US officials would visit Islamabad to work on the
details of implementing the initial steps and that if further talks went
well, then US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would decide a**when and
ifa** to visit Pakistan.
Clinton told reporters at the State Department this week that Grossmana**s
visit would a**continue more detailed consultations.a**
Pakistana**s civilian and military leaders were left angry and embarrassed
over a unilateral US raid that killed Al-Qaedaa**s chief, who had been
living, possibly for years, in a military academy town two hoursa** drive
from Islamabad.
It rocked the countrya**s seemingly powerful security establishment, with
its intelligence services and military widely accused of incompetence or
complicity over the presence of bin Laden in a suburban house in the city
of Abbottabad.
Pakistana**s parliament demanded no repeat of the raid, although US
President Barack Obama has reserved the right to act again.
The military threatened to review intelligence cooperation in the war on
Al-Qaeda and Islamabad called the raid a**unauthorised unilateral

WCPO-TV Cincinnati investigative reporter Hagit Limor assumed the role of president of the Society of Professional Journalists Tuesday night on the last night of the 2010 SPJ Convention & National Journalism Conference in Las Vegas.
Limor had served as president-elect for the past year, and she succeeds James Madison University journalism instructor Kevin Z. Smith atop SPJ. Her term will last one year.
Limor said at her induction:
Here I am standing before you, and I'm truly humbled but look forward to a year of service. We're all here for a reason. We have all been drawn to this room at this moment by a common denominator. We're fighting for a way of life.
We have future generations to rely on us for factual information. Only we watchdogs can prevent the worst of history from rising again.
