  1. Hey all, I went to school with Dr. Layton and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for musculoskeletal care. He knows his stuff, to make a blanket statement. Seek him out if you need help. Mike, sorry to hear about your practice move. Let me know where you end up. I still have a couple of friends in Seattle that like chiropractic care. I would like to send them your way. j
  2. Don't forget to climb Aspiring while you are there. Great photos, thanks for the flashback. Yeah the wine is good as well!
  3. Layton, you're right, Serratus Anterior is the name of the muscle that I was thinking of, my bad, Subscap is an internal rotator. Think the brain is fried from exams.
  4. If you protract your shoulders at the end of your arm range of motion during a push up (like when you are finished with the push up, but you still can get a little more lift our of pushing a little further) you can work subscapularis, which may be the most important shoulder stabilizer. Anyone who concerned about there shoulder should be doing some type of pushing exercise (low weight, high reps, which makes pushups perfect), as well as working external rotators (tubing is good for this). My shoulders are unstable from hanging on them for so many years. I think posterior instability is really common in climbers.
  5. Radon, Glad to hear that you didn't damage the cord and your right because you didn't you should be back to 100%. Lucky and I am happy for you. Make sure to do your rehab as soon as you can, obviously talk to your docs, but the sooner the vertebrae is stabilized and you can start moving the area, the less scar tissue you will have around the area and easier it will be to get back to normal motion in the area. TL junction area is already prone to degeneration, so you should be extra careful to re-stregthen and get the flexibility back before you start pounding on it again (and I am sure you will, which is great!). Hope that is helpful and not too preachy, if I had an injury like that I would want to know. good luck and get well soon,
  6. I agree with Mike on this, rest, rehab, shoes is key. DO NOT RUN THROUGH THIS. ICE 20 minutes on, 60 minutes off while acute, 2 cycles max, while acute. I would also look at nutrition, make sure you are getting enough Vit. C, Ca, Mg, GAG's, Bromalain. If really bad and you want to be agressive, use a posterior splint to keep your foot dorsiflexed (calf stretched position). No longer that a couple nights or so. This will keep your achillies at the maximum length overnight when new fibers are being laid down. (usually we sleep with our feet pointed, first step rips all the new fibers or at least damages them). Acute modified training- No hills, no jumping, no speed training, walk on soft surface (trail), slowly increase training to tolerance. (you will know the next day. SubAcute- likely after 1 to 2 weeks- alternate hot cold. (heat before exercise, cold after. See mike's notes above. If that does not work...?... Don't get a steroid injection, apparently it is risky. Good luck.
  7. About as expected, lots of obscure crap that he never talked about. Better than biomechanics though.
  8. Any parties going on in portland?
  9. As far as I know, true waterproof gloves don't exsist d/t there being so many seams to seal. They would cost like $200 to make it work and not too many people are going to spend that. There are likely mitts out there that are seam sealed, but you will have to look and see if they are. In my experience, best is to get gloves that are good shells that have a thick removable liner, just deal with being wet, at least they are warm, then hang them dry at night.
  10. I have never used the all in one. i thought about getting it but the probe didn't seem stiff enough, it is like a tent pole. i ended up with a Volie alpine shovel (a bit smaller than the all in one) and a BD Alpine light probe. Been happy with both. Fortunately never had to use the probe. Definatley get a metal shovel. think it is pretty hard to go wrong.

    Sisters

    Looking for options to climb this weekend from a pdx base. Anyone have any beta on the sisters, thoughts on conditions, routes that may be climbable?
  13. Yep, we're (notice the correct grammer) quacks. Check out the curriculum. http://www.wschiro.edu/academics/dcprogram/ac_dc_curriculum.html

    Creepy and cool

    Quite possibly the most desturbing thing I have ever read. Very interesting, chilling.
  16. it'd make a weekend in hidden valley campground a lot less busy too No it won't, but at least you could get away with more than 2 cars per campsite.
  17. Mike, ask Borman about this. My guess is that Mesoderm in the adult refers to tissue derived from embryological mesoderm, but I am not sure, and too beat to look it up. I am curious though.
  18. Saying away from the Everett Mall is good advice on any day.

    Appeasement

    So what is the way to deal with terrorists? this is an incomplete list, but 1) Get off the relience on mid east oil 2) don't go to war against whole countries (Bush is a moron) but work with governments to find them in their small groups without so much global attention. 3) Work with their countries to increase their quality of life, by their ideals not ours 4) stop pushing our "business" on the world (ie mcdonalds etc., not that you will find them in the mid east) 5) EDUCATE THEM!, help build the things in life that build good people and communites, ie schools, housing etc. All these would be a better use of our tax payer $$$ than overthrowing Sadam. Scrub is just pisssed he tried to kill his dad and drew the whole world into it.

    Finals bitch thread

    how about: In what tissue can you find simple squamous epi transitioning into Simple Columnar? I mean Straitified Squamous to Simple Columnar, sorry about that.
  21. Yep, Welcome to the new world, where the US work force needs to compete with the Indian work force that has a cost of living 1/10 that of ours. sorry to be grim, it blows, GW isn't helping either. Anyway, I think it has actually been that way for a while. My dad told me something like, over the last 5 years of his career he worked an extra year in work time. YIKES!

    Finals bitch thread

    Believe me, i know. Living off the govt and learning shit w/no boss kicks ass! Who said anything about pre-med? that shit is over and done with (thank god). this is much worse (harder). i topped out at 28 credits in pre-med. next quarter its 33 fun fact filled credits. 7:30-5:30 m-f baby! j.t. you are correct. it becomes nothing. pop quiz #2: T or F Q: The IX or hypoglossal cranial n joins w/the VII or facial cranial n to form the lesser petrossal nerve which joins w/pre-ganlionic parasympathetics to for the nerve of the petrygoid canal or vidian n. to synapse in the sphenopalatine ganlion and send out visceralmotor fibers to the parotid gland? Shit, I haven't got that far in Gross yet, but I'm guessing False because the Otic ganglion deals with the Parotid Gland. how about: In what tissue can you find simple squamous epi transitioning into Simple Columnar?
