man oh man what are you doing strapping your pack on your pack and missing out on the euro opportunity to put the small pack on the front so it looks like a male pregnancy simulator!

Bouldering is fun. Admittedly there was this sweet three-pitch-high, 500-meter-long cliff 10 minutes uphill from the boulder in question - but in general it's a sad group of climbers who, on getting flown into basecamp, would refuse to send all the problems on the local boulders in between summiting.

Like I just posted above, the patent lasts 20 years but the patent exclusion act allows the generic to manufacture before the patent expires.

catch and release is FISH TORTURE! you aquatic Lynndie England

Sorry Dru, Canadian patents last....20 years. check your source there cj10101010f - patent rights for pharmaceuticals werre reduced specifically to encourage quick generic copying thus lowering prices. OK I checked my own sources and found out technically you are right and I am wrong - patent does last 20 years. However the generics can get exemptions and generally do, average time between introduction of a new drug and availability of first generic compteitor on the domestic market is 7, not 20 years.

the r&d and testing costs are already taken account of in the company profit margin. certainly it will reduce the profitability. but because this will be across the board for all companies equally, it will end up encouraging innovation because if they can't make more money off one drug for a long time, they will have to shift to making a lower profit per drug off several drugs at once.

used to see a guy with his nuts racked on a noseless oval and he kept opening the wrong end and dropping nuts on lead

The only reason you are subsidizing other countries is because your patents last 2 to 4 times as long as they do everywhere else in the world. If you cut your patent rights you would end the subsidy.

hey will think about this - the solution is not extending patent protection but cutting it to conform to the world standard. if your patent lasts 20 years you have less incentive to innovate. you make something new, profit for it for 19 years while you develop something else. if your patent lasts 5 years you have to innovate faster and keep coming up with new things, to continue profiting. shorter patent times speed development of new drugs, and reduce the costs to the poor, who benefit when cheaper generic copies become available once patent expires.

iain its good to see your belaying practice paid off!

women that look like pagetops

better than checking the who's online

some of the best problems are more than 5 minutes walk from the parking lot! i mean they pay money to fly mountain bikes into the alpine for video shoots- why not mats?

yo mama is my stewardess

This particular dreamy line had a 10 minute approach from the drop off.

you could get one of those bolt-on m-12 jobs and cut off the heel spur

if it was gneiss it would probably have more light and dark banding, or be choss.... it could be gneiss but it looks more like diorite and/or gabbro to me from the photos

I was the first one to report a bouldering FA in the CAJ Back on subject a little bird told me the AAJ is gonna be out much earlier this year, like mid-August.

i think snowbyrd just called me an angry woman when all i was really saying is that i didn't want a set of testicles your current rear view mirror ornaments haven't shrivelled away yet?
