The doorway to the future of American energy efficiency points to a blend of 80% highly combustible snowy owl feathers, in easy to haul bundles made from mountain cougar hide.

Wyoming is just as big and beautiful as you can imagine. The Bighorns, the Tetons, the Snowy Range, the Laramie Range, the Wind River Range, they're all God's country. Of course we do have some big ugly open pit coal mines too, but I guess we still need those black rocks, and Wyoming is the country's largest coal producer. Still, it's an outdoorsman and sportsman paradise. There are guys I know just like you who live to fish, and most everyone hunts. If you ever drove around Casper you'd soon notice a lot of houses with boats, fifth wheels, snowmobiles, ATV's, etc. parked in their driveways, because people here live for the outdoors.

If you've never been to Yellowstone or the Tetons then you gotta put it on your bucket list. And while you're here you can check out the Bighorns too. And who knows? You might even swing through Casper with the family to say hi. That would be cool.

And in the meantime the democrats cause fear and make people terrified of something that will never happen. I love stupid people, who would make my food at taco bell without them. This is turning into demosift/antireligosift. give me a break and put something marginally intelligent on again guys.
propaganda
I'snt this site supposed to be about the BEST the internet has to offer?
BEST! Not mental draining, crock of S stuff like this.


This is the cancer that is killing /b. ^ This video has nothing to do with any one opinion, I posted it because I thought that it was an interesting albeit extreme take on how far things could be taken. This is a remote possibility, out in the bleakest, most snowy desert. IE when hell freezes over.

Harry Potter's owl, Hedwig, was a Snowy owl. I presume that the owl here is presumed to be a Snowy.

It was a dark and stormy night...

It was a tall and snowy hill...

i need coffee first. and a muffin would be good.
banana nut. that's a good muffin.

Still a whole day ahead of me, I didn't sleep all night... And yet, just a plain ticket away from heaven, eh? I'd LOVE to get away from this snowy hills and jump into the ocean right NOW

man, whenever i see someone jumping down snowy slope i remember the avalanche that took with him 7 of my friends a month ago on a not so demanding 2000m high mountain some 10 km from where i live. they were on a training hike for alpine climbing course they attended. there were 15 people in the group and 2 of them were very experienced free climbers and mountaineers. this incident happend on 15th of december 2007. here's an article on one of our cable news channels. there are also some video clips of the rescue when they were piloted off the mountain down to where ambulances took them further to a hospital (just a block from where i live). one of the climbers was a co-woker of mine. he's into free climbing but has little less experience alpine climbing so he attented this course for some months before this happened. he got off well, just bruised and in shock. the avalanche started just 100m before they reached the peak. as it happened nobody expected any of that cause there was only 10-20cm of snow on ground. but it was snowing all night before and it was very windy. that caused the unstable, fresh powder to accumulate on top and they somehow tripped this huge patch of snow that drove them down a very steep slope through a gorge that ended some 300m downhill. there were also 6 other friends of mine, most with minor injuries, two girls had more severe injuries. i met one of them just last night, she got out of hospital few days earlier. she's got broken leg and she needed some surgery on her jaw. she was joking that she will always trip the airport alarms now that she's got 6 titanium plates in her jaw nice to see her smiling and so optimistic after something so shocking. she will still need few months of recovery before she's ok but all of them said that they feel really lucky and kinda reborn after that meet with matilda

It sounds like normal anxiety to me. Anxiety is a bitch and can manifest in tons of ways, especially during the holiday seasons. I'm sure you're going to be fine, <mode emt> it wouldn't hurt to talk to someone though if you feel that you could use some help </mode emt>.

Honestly I'm feeling the holiday stress too as this year we're not going to be with the large family and I will be all the way in Florida at my Grandmas, I was hoping for a snowy christmas too

in snowy soviet union lap scorching much benefit feature.

windows used only for to see beautiful outdoor nature covered from snow.

needing license for window is bourgeois capitalist conspiracy.

shrooms are so weird, one day the growbox is just a blanket of snowy white fuzz, the next it's spontaneously twisting itself up into stalks!
(don't forget to make sporeprints for future generations)

My God, this is just beautiful. Here are the lyrics:

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflecting Vincent's eyes of China blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hands

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you Vincent
This world was never meant for one as
beautiful as you

Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
A silver thorn on a bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will

i'm sure it has a lot to do with how smooth the roads are as well. here in colorado the roads are a lot rougher, and we're much better equipped to deal with the wintertime in general. i talked to people in redmond all day during that storm and it pretty much shut the entire area down... that same storm hit us later that week and dumped about 3 feet of snow when all was said and done.

still though, there's a skill to navigating snowy/icy roads, and some people just don't have it. all-weather tires help too.

There's a good payoff at the end: watch what happens a few seconds after 1:15 - that might have clinched it for this guy.

I was tempted to make a blog post about this (and if this video does poorly - I'd say 50-50 odds, I just might send it there for that purpose), but I thought it was interesting to note that Toronto radio station 102.1 The Edge (CFNY) has yet another contest on their morning show (typical obnoxious morning show thing) - as long as listeners/contestants put the Edge 102.1 the logo somewhere in the vid (this one's just at the end), anything qualifies. Whatever the hosts enjoy most wins the $1000 weekly prize. There's a final grand prize of $5000. Technically anyone on Videosift can participate too.

Check out their contest site for details.

Returning to the topic of this video (the week two winner), they chose it for various reasons, not limited to the fact that the juxtaposition of "Afternoon Delight" with a 'vicious' beating was amusing, and that the guy managed to keep that cigarette in his mouth throughout the entire 'fight'. And he was doing it on a snowy deck too.

What I also found interesting was that overt "viral vids" - like this music vid - didn't win. I'd argue that inserting the station promo and logo repeatedly into the vid definitely hurt it. Sort of refreshing to see the "make free ads for us" aspect minimized, in favour of something more, I dunno, original? Or at least minimally commercial

Another phenomenon, I found while going through a few of the vids is that there are people with accomplished vids (say, a funny re-cut of a movie), who spliced in a 2 second clip of the station logo and then entered the contest. Worth a shot at free cash I suppose - would it be considered selling out though?

This is an amateur video recorded off a rooftop/balcony in Portland. The first car keeps smacking into everything and while it's sad for the driver, it doesn't look like anyone was too seriously hurt (aside from all the cars!).

I ended up laughing at it.

And tomorrow I head out to a client in somewhat icy/snowy conditions - I'm so glad I have snow tires!
