Where's Norman_Clyde?

But, hopefully, only after the beer runs out.

Martlet is not worth getting your panties in a bunch.

Anything is possible, though you should try faking paralysis for three years, crapping and pissing in your drawers and see how you like it.

Okay it had some historical inaccuracies, see how many you can find yourself. But it was a well done movie with great fight scenes. Ignore what the critics say and form your own opinion. Go see it. I think you'll like it.

AND it's an overnight trip with a bad weather forecast and you've got one of those little single wall two man tents.

The other possibility is that the man had some sore of vitamin or mineral deficiency, such as copper. I tried a Yahoo! seach and couldn't come up with anything that matched Lewis' description.

My son suffered just such an injury and he not only survived, but he is prospering today. With improving weather, I'm guessing they'll get a helicopter in there at first light in the morning.

When I was a toddler, I got it into my head to scribble in crayon all over the walls in the hallway. My Dad made me take a rag and Comet cleanser and try to cleaning it off. My efforts were prettty ineffectual. I cried because I couldn't get it all off. Eventually my Dad relented and let me go to my room to think about it. I never wrote on the walls again.

Hey look, it's ChucK and he is wearing his shit-eating grin.

I was reading The Essential Lewis and Clark, edited by Landon Y. Jones and came to a description by Captain Lewis of an indian chief who had been paralyzed in all his limbs for a period of three years. He was well cared for by his fellows and ate well, was lucid and could speak. The indians having observed the medical skill of Captain Clark asked whether anything could be done for the chief. Lewis recommended that the chief's diet be changed from one of mainly roots to that of meat. They also admisistered a sweat treatment which had recently helped one of their party, Bratton, who had been ill for a long time. In the space of about a week, the chief recovered almost full use of his limbs. I'd have to say that the man must have been suffering from some sort of poisoning. Since he was no doubt eating much the same diet as his fellows, this would seem to be rather puzzling. The only thing I can think of is that there were poisonous alkaloids in some of the roots and that the man may have lacked some liver enzyme that in normal people detoxified the alkaloids. The change in diet to meat was no doubt responsible for the man's recovery. Do any of you medical types know anything about this?

Yep, you got it. You are a shameless wretch, Layton.

If they were getting unfair subsidies, I should think solution should have been to end those subsities, rather than forbiding the use of prison labor.

Miller is from Georgia. I rest my case.

Snowmobilers show no inclination to adopt clean and quiet technology. Skiers have no inclination to ignore snowmobilers. Perhaps the solution is to keep the two groups apart. Maybe skiers should be kept out of the Schrieber's Meadows approach until the close of snowmobile season? I don't think the skiers would go for that, but it would sure stop the complaining.

I wonder what ever happened to Attitude the former page top champion. I'm curious. Does j_b climb? Has he ever posted outside of a political context? Off I go to search.

Achilles?

Martlet is not like trask who was like a dog lifting his leg at every fire hydrant. Trask posted all over the place. Martlet stakes out his territory and others come to him. If you don't like him or his opinions don't go to a martlet thread. You like his abuse. Come on and admit it to yourself.

a·pol·o·gist ( P ) Pronunciation Key (-pl-jst) n. A person who argues in defense or justification of something, such as a doctrine, policy, or institution. Mattp is an apologist on the issue of snowmobiles.

I think it is a crying shame. A program that cuts recidivism rates by 87% is good for the inmate, good for the public and taxpayers.

Iain will be all over me for this, but I should point out that XES is not an allowed word. Across and down are allowed. Bottom to top and right to left are not.

Does 5.5 mm spectra cord fit through those short holes in the stem for shallow horizontal placements? I've seen some pretty spindly looking cord used on Forged Friends. Okay, I answered my own question. It's yes according to the Wildcountry Cam Book. Beal Dyneema 5.5 mm Cord 17.7 kN (3968 lbf) 20 g/m (.70 oz/ft)

Speaking of which...I was up there yesterday and led this little 5.7 trad route at Chainsaw Wall. There was this 200+ lb. block hanging over the belay chains like a sword of Damocles. It was loose to the touch, waiting to be pulled down on the belayer. We trundled that baby. Kaboom! That route was a lot better than I thought it would be. A great little beginner route. Take a small rack and do that one plus Ultramega Crack, 5.8 on Slumbersome Ridge, and Salutiferous Exaltation...blah, blah, blah, 5.8 on The Peannicle. Do them in that order.

Strange as it sounds, the Democrats are more fiscally conservative than the Republicans.
