i'd say yes to that. i don't know what other forums he's posted in, so maybe you can do that, but since the survey itself is rather vague, coupled with him not responding to any questions about its purposes....

hey, fun read on the tr. good stuff.

pretty good points, but just to pick a little: depends on what you're doing. with rock-climbing, i'd argue this point. if you weigh 150, and are at 12% bf, dropping to 6% would put you in the 130's. if you drop this intelligently and don't lose strength, it's not very intelligent to claim this wouldn't make a difference in your climbing. firstly, i doubt there are many "anorexic" climbers in danger of losing their lives. secondly, "radical exclusion diets" can work to drop weight for a specific goal. in this context, speaking of their "eventual" failure doesn't really make sense; one isn't necessarily trying to make a lifestyle of starvation. the rest is pretty spot-on.

Can you explain what the results of this survey will be used for? The questions seem more applicable to an actuary than a physician, but perhaps I'm missing something....

to what end? what's the purpose?

ramuta's I'd call John Ramuta and explain what you've got. I doubt he'd take something on that wasn't a go. Just got my Solutions back from him, and they are, no hyperbole, better than when I first got 'em. His edge is superior to the factory edge, and he preserved the fit perfectly. Pretty nice when the shoes fits me just right, costs a buck fitty per pair, and are built to probably go through quite a few resoles. I had such a sour experience at dave page's over a decade ago that i'd never go back.

"Parenting advice"? I suppose there's always the mariners.

Linky your point? (not that you'll answer, because your "point" is nothing you really care about.)

Right, so that only rich people can afford to be in office. Fail. dual density. both at a very high density. the humor here of course is that any president in the history of the US might have been motivated by the salary. or that any president wasn't rather wealthy to begin with. or senator. or congressman. but, it's not only the religious that need their myths.

nice work drew. rudy, after seeing drew's fingers, i think he'd get two or three fingers in each pocket on the thing i'm trying. definitely something to consider, if he's siked. the top of aggro monkey is what might be more work, with the potential reach issues....

Kinda backwards there, since meat is undeniably good for you (although completely unnecessary for optimal health).

how so?

Start with reading Fast Food Nation. Then think about our biological make-up: hardly one built for heavy meat consumption. Veganism seems to express itself as a bit of a cultish fad at times, but if well thought-out, obviously very healthy. I personally think lacto-ovo veggie is the healthiest, physiologically/ethically.

Good hangboard recipe: -3' by 2' piece of 3/4" ply -3' strip of 3/4", 1/2", and 1/4" trim -maybe coupla pieces of 2" by 4" for pinches Screw everything on, screw unit on wall, and start hanging! Use 1 or 2 finger open hand to train pockets, etc etc.

coupla interests: 1. your bolting set-up 2. any ideas on renting a house down there close to the park in mid-march for 10 days to 2 weeks? been looking on craigslist but kinda thin next to park....

you can buy unpasteurized dairy in select spots in seattle. health dept hasn't shut it down, probably cuz there are very few cases of illnesses associated with them. and regarding the health of vegetarians and vegans, just read the studies on 7th day adventists.

you were funnier carrying a gun in everett.

fascinating. especially the percentages of women supporting FGM.

and, just to belabor the point a little longer, my suggestion regarding male mutilation wasn't a "comparison" per se, only an apt rejoinder, since we were talking about genital mutilation.

< shrug > many women like 'em cut < shrug > I'm sure many men like 'em cut too meaning-before i'm misunderstood- that many men won't marry women who haven't had the ritualistic mutilation performed.

Scalping and beheading.

< shrug > many women like 'em cut < shrug > I'm sure many men like 'em cut too

i call male circumcision "mutilation" also. amazing there are as many adherents as there are, here in the "reformed" US. The Jewish especially seem to get quite up-in-arms about their rights to mutilate their male off-spring.

on to other news.... an afghani is facing the death sentence for converting to christianity (this sentence is koran-based, yes?) karzai, the president of afghanistan, will not step in to save the man. in other news, 90% of egyptian females have suffered genital mutilation (probably not koran-based; anyone know?).
