I could have saved myself the $175 i paid to formerly AT&T Wireless when i decided to get out of my 1-year cell phone contract if i had known about the transfer of responsibility. According to this article at MSNBC, it is possible to transfer your remaining cell phone plan to a third party. The idea is that you offer the potential buyer your phone and/or other accessories (it can potentially be anything) to sweeten up the deal so that the buyer will take over the remaining portion of your contract without paying any activation fee. The article mentioned a company celltradeusa.com that basically allows you to place free ads for a potential stranger to pick up your remaining contract. The thing is celltradeusa.com charges you $19.99 to read the email communication between the seller and the buyer. I doubt this is going to work well for celltradeusa.com. I can see this being easily done for free on Craig’s List.

With the amount of snow dumped on the Cascades this week, it would have been a crime to miss out on the great snow. It snowed all the way from near Everett to Stevens Pass. I witnessed a couple of wrecks on route to Stevens Pass, including a Grand Jeep Cherokee with its rear bumper in the concrete divider and a burned out sedan (i could not even tell the make and model of the car because there was nothing but an empty frame that remained).
The snow could not have been better. Other than a few patches of icy spots, i would say about 95 percent of the runs were nice and powdery. One of the things i needed more practice are ungroomed steep runs with tons of bumps. I can say that after this, i am a little more confident in handling those runs.

The American press is predictably ignoring the story. Yet it is only too plausible that Bush wanted to wipe out what he saw as a nest of terrorists.
Last week, the British newspaper the Daily Mirror reported that George W. Bush had told U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair in April 2004 that he was planning to bomb the al-Jazeera offices in Qatar. The report, based on a leaked top-secret government memo, claimed that Blair dissuaded Bush from bombing the Arab cable news channel’s offices. An anonymous source told the Mirror, “There’s no doubt what Bush wanted, and no doubt Blair didn’t want him to do it.” The Mirror quoted a government spokesperson, also anonymous, as suggesting that Bush’s threat had been “humorous, not serious.” But the newspaper quoted another source who said, “Bush was deadly serious, as was Blair. That much is absolutely clear from the language used by both men.”
White House press secretary Scott McClellan brushed off the report, telling the Associated Press in an e-mail, “We are not interested in dignifying something so outlandish and inconceivable with a response.” In a response to a question asked in Parliament, Tony Blair denied that Bush had told him he planned to take action against al-Jazeera. The two men involved in the leak have been charged with violating Britain’s Official Secrets Act.
