Trask made his bed and he and she are sleeping in it.

I am disappointed that somehow I didn't meet either Dru or Fern, as we were there at the same time. Bummer. You Canadians like a low profile don't you?

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

The point I was making is that these antibiotics are being prescribed more and more frequently these days because other older ones are encountering bacterial resistence. So watch out!

It's almost too good to be true. "There's definitely fertile ground for more research. Many have stepped forward to volunteer for related research now in the planning stages," he said. Almost every woman is, at some point, going to perform the act of fellatio, but it is the frequency at which this event occurs that makes the difference, say researchers. "

The last question was interesting. Which rope is better. The two were the same, except that the second had a lower impact force. Easy choice.

In the context of climbers, I take the word "geek" to mean highly analytical and detail oriented. Climbers have to pay attention to details or they die.

Hello, this mauling occurred in Alaska where the brown bears, which I referred to as grizzlies, are definitely NOT afraid of people. These are a different animal than the grizzly found in the lower 48.

No, duh? You came to the realization just now?

Grizzly mauls, kills a bear 'expert'. Newspaper Article Would you go camping in a park full of grizzlies- a park that doesn't allow firearms for your own protection?

As long as he keep the jet fuel from running down the street, I say more power to him. Now about the noise...

So Gowans, where's the spray, laddie? You need some angst apparently to get up a head of steam. Here you go.

I Kenya poachers are shot on sight.

You mean "alluded", dude. You are a teacher?

I know what it is like to have someone with brain injury. Three years ago son was in a coma for 8 days. Thankfully he recovered fully. I sure hope Ryan pulls through.

Start your beginners out on low angle ice and don't let them get more than a few feet above "the ground", ie a safe landing, until they have their crampon technique down solidly. And make sure they wear gloves.

It has been a long while since I've seen a Dru trip report. What was the last one? Cheam Peak?

No one wants to discuss trask's frightening scenario. I think you're all so scared you don't even want to think about it.

The Middlefork Valley is rather unique in that it is the only low land forest of its kind that has returned nearly to its original old growth state. It hasn't been logged since the 1940's not counting the lower valley where some recent activity has occurred. Manning was no doubt upset by all the vandalism, littering and hooliganism that has spoilt this otherwise beautiful valley. He figures that if you keep out the vehicles, you keep out the yahoos with their beer cans, shotgun shells, etc. The other extreme is to pave the road to its end and put in ranger stations and camp grounds to manage and control the people who go there. The Forest Service doesn't have the money to do that, so they took a middle stance, which is to close some roads and pave others. I think they did what they had to do. The status quo just wasn't going to cut it. The FS isn't going to sell any timber so they don't want to have to maintain "non-paying" logging roads. They want to be rid of them and I don't blame them. Right now we have a situation in which the bad state of the road discriminates against those who don't have high clearance vehicles. If they can get that Federal money to pave it to Taylor River, then anyone with a car can go there. They plan to have a new camp ground at the same time to meet the new demand. The paved road will make it much easier for the Sheriff to enforce the laws. This will spell the end of lawlessness in the Middlefork Valley.

Now it's time for reality to set in. Three years from now, Arnold will be just as unpopular as Grey Davis.

So is it the case that every known fluoroquinolone has this side effect? Apparently, the answer is yes, but some are worse than others: "We found some significant differences in the safety profiles of individual fluoroquinolones: ciprofloxacin was more frequently associated with skin reactions (p < 0.01), levofloxacin and pefloxacin with musculoskeletal (p < 0.01), and rufloxacin with psychiatric disorders (p < 0.05). Levofloxacin was the fluoroquinolone associated with the highest rate of serious tendon disorders; phototoxic reactions were more frequent with lomefloxacin, and toxic epidermal necrolysis and Stevens-Johnson syndrome were seen only with ciprofloxacin." Source: [/url] Pub Med There were a whole bunch of articles on "spontaneous achilles tendon ruptures" associated with the use of fluoroquinolones. Yikes! So what is the mechanism? No one knows for sure, but they are closing in on the answer. Some think that fluoroquinolones stimulate enzymes that digest cartilage, the "matrix metalloproteinases". Abstract

It worked then. He figures, why shouldn't it work now? Either that, or it's early onset senile dementia. The nice thing about that post is that it makes everything very simple. If you state things in black and white terms, it is very easy to get the opinion you seek.

I predict that this winter, the sun will rise later and set earlier than it does now.

I have a really good doctor who knows I am a climber and is willing to work with me on treatments. He doesn't try to force prescription medicines on me if over the counters will work just as well.
