  1. can't get the youtube to insert correctly but.... for my girlfriend's 30th...two 1 day passes for Valhalla Powdercats w/ a night in the honeymoon suite at Ainsworth Hotsprings.....
  2. Where do you live? Sunny in the Toon at the mo The West Kootenays in BC...home mountain is Red Mtn, best tree skiing in BC...steep and deep....
  3. 10-15cm of fresh with the same predicted to fall for the rest of the day fucking brilliant, skiing this weekend and every one til spring
  4. this.. ..local hill slated to open on the 11th, hopefully it won't take that long.
  5. sorry to hear that i was interested in seeing it as it was largely shot in the neighbourhod i used to live in, in Toronto.
  6. The reason you don't like comedians is because you don't like some bloke standing there making you laugh, but you like Chubby Brown, who just stands there, making you laugh. if ever there was proof needed that some people just make mountains out of molehills just because it's me they are replying to The post is quite straightforward and stating the point. Fuck me. maybe try to not be such a dick....might help.

    Nah, fearless still over here kidda. Honest. ignorance is bliss... Only just proved it exists? You're efforts to look smart after that were wasted on me buddy. ....again i am disappointment in your grammar..... Pardon? capitals are over-rated... 1-0 to skidders here like ...again with the passive aggressive love in between you two...i'll leave you two alone as i'm off to have some fun in the mountains. sums you up thanks, i'd like to think so... (the fact you think that comment is a slight towards me sums you up tbh)

  13. http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Fighting/Boxing/...5/16154511.html sounds like a cake walk for Super-Manny....this what i miss by not having TV.....doh!

    i completely agree with SB, i think that we are at the cusp of something, they now have material to study that has never before been available.... ....and they're gonna shoot em with lasers. For the love of god, stop acting like a cock teasing virgin and just tell us what you think it is we are on the cusp of........ let me check my crystal ball..... what is so difficult about this? we now have a piece of the puzzle (the physics puzzle) that we never had, we can now study this piece and learn from it. i'm not an astro-physicist (nor do I play one on TV) but it looks to me as if science is poised to make some significant discoveries based on this newly available information Your doing it again what exactly am i doing? you want me to predict the future? I dont know how to put this any clearer. When you say things like " it looks to me as if science is poised to make some significant discoveries", expand on what YOU think that means. No one connected with this at cern is talking in that way, nor are any of the journalists covering the story that I have read. They are all talking about this as one step in a chain of events that one day might help science understand where anti matter went. well for starters.... "For us it's a big breakthrough because it means we can take the next step, which is to try to compare matter and antimatter," the team's spokesman, American scientist Jeffrey Hangst, told The Associated Press on Thursday or.... Studying such trapped atoms could help answer basic questions in physics, like why antimatter has disappeared from the natural universe while ordinary matter abounds in the stars, planets and galaxies. Theorists say both must have been created in equal amounts in the Big Bang. i think you may be being a little insecure, i'm not trying to sound intellectually superior, i find this interesting because antimatter has been nothing but theory until recently, and then getting it to hang around long enough to study it was not possible. now it is. so now that they can study it and experiment with it, i think that fundamental questions about the universe like 'why if the big bang produced x amount of energy is there only evidence of x-z amount of mass within the universe (z being the amount of matter in the universe)' and fwiw i think scientists at cern are pretty fucking stoked that they've been able to do this and might be playing with their cards close to their chests so as to not tip off any competition to what it is they are studying. anyway, that's why i'm excited about it....hope that clears it up for you....

    for once, skidders has a point. You haven't called anybody a boring cunt lately have you ? LM in "i don't understand , so i will make disparaging remarks" shocker!! while I can understand that you may genuinely not be interested in the topic, the fact that anti-matter (or rather the storage and stockpiling of anti-matter) has only been theoretical until now, makes this one of the most significant scientific milestones of the last 100 years Aye ok. So apart from 'understanding', what actual everyday use is this going to achieve? Good question really from any layman. I read both links and kept thinking........And. I even started to reply twice and thought, fuck it. But as its got going, what is the point and is this research and experiments being carried out with a view to something at the end of it. Not dissing your interest in this btw. fair enough, but how are we to have practical plans for something we've only just now proven exists? i think this is similar: to science debunking the myth that the earth is the center of the universe. or newton's laws. or the theory of relativity. It's interesting because its pushing the envelope of how we perceive the universe, and eventually will lead to more mundane everyday applications of this greater (hopefully) understanding. Thats the bit Im missing tbf. I gather from the article that anti matter used to exist before the big bang and that after the big bang it dissappeared, I just wasnt sure why they were trying to re-create it and what was driving the experiment? IE Was this leading to some great development or breakthrough. Straight forward enough questions I would have thought for a topic of this nature on a football forum. The centre of the universe example makes sense btw. agreed it's really just the tip of the iceburg with this field of study, when looking at the young universe they have all these existing theories of what happened and how it happened, and then when they look at what we have now all the theories fall apart. if they can determine a unifying theory for physics who knows what applications it would have for the everyday experience. personally i'm hoping for flying cars.... Having just had a quick google around I now realise that the Starship Enterprise is powered by an antimatter engine. Now Tooner if you had included this fact in your opening post you would have saved a lot of time. more of a Lucas fan than a Roddenberry fan tbh.....but yeah, and apparently some outfit in arizona has plans for this type of engine.

    well maybe if it was more useful ....we'd have one by now

    ...... you're probably right, why would we want to understand how the universe works? That's what I asked! ...i find it "shocking" that you are that thick.
