It is also the system that cannot differentiate between Australia and Austria, that has to specify the country in which a city is located (eg Paris, France - as if there is a more important Paris in the world, or Sydney,

Kickers are pretty much what I do every weekend in UT. Too bad I don't go to Japan until next winter or I would be right along side you digging.

I played this one game a long time ago called Ultima Online, after that I was pretty burned out with video games. Always been too much of an outdoors guy to sit down inside that long. Funny I do it now for work.

Okay so this completely backfired. Plagiarism was in no way the intent. Was merely a suggestion for areas of constructive criticism.

I mean papers for school, fun, publishing etc. Anything that you want constructive criticism or just to share!

Post your academic work here! Whether you want peer review or just write for fun. Post any sort of thing you want someone to review.

Do the roads ever close in those areas? Here the Canyons are closed all the time. Is this something to be used to? Also how are Japanese drivers in the snow ?

There is a plan to go global so to speak. The issues really lie within the vendors themselves not us. They are the reason Burton, North Face, etc cannot be shipped internationally.

good to hear some loyal customers on here!

I am so mad that Ireland didn't advance, dang extra time. Who else was shocked about the Russia game? Also watch out for Côte d'Ivoire...they threaten a lot of good Euro teams.

Important news of the day for UT: Last night a meteor literally turned the night to day for 5 mins. I was up drinking a beer at 1am and then all of a sudden a huge flash of light hit. I honestly thought we had been nuked and life was over. It was pretty insane.

Park City opens this weekend!!!

Nice, well I may be able to give you guys some deals every now and then. If you hop on live chat you may talk to me!

I don't even want to think about it. I work for backcountry.com and I still end up paying out the butt. Proforms on everything still adds up.

Sarah Palin, in younger form! Possibly even on the borderline of substantial mental retardation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R0a9xq6uek I apologize to the world if this woman ever gets enough attention to be involved in US politics as she aspires to.

I understand that. I was talking from managerial perspective. I know conditions vary wildly, but I was inquiring about how much effort goes into maintaining resort avalanches as compared to that of UT.

Mitch, you should check out Seattle sometime it has a great beer scene. For the cities I've visited only Portland beats it in terms of selection and quality. You're in Utah right? I've heard that Park City has some decent micro brews, but never been. But Utah has the reputation for being uptight with alcohol. They can't sell beer that's as strong there or something even right? I have been to Seattle and Portland, love them both but it

Don't open up that can of worms with me haha. I am not mormon and Salt Lake City has largely become de-mormonized. Don't get me wrong Mormons are great, but when they collectively act in a political climate I will be right there to shoot them down.

Then I will decide to take my financial asset to the US, Japan, etc.

Thanks! That definitely helps a ton. I have a Bachelors degree right now and will be starting my masters in a year and a half. IF that helps with any info.

So I have been looking at this English teaching school called GABA. I have heard mixed things and was wondering what you guys think? Is it legit? Do they pay well, they let you make your own schedule. Is there one in Sapporo and do you have any experience?
