You country folks.........sheeshe. 8D

Does anyone know just how fast Washington's glacier's are melting? I know the Nisqualy is undergoing measurable retreat every year, but whats interesting is that when I spoke with a park ranger on Rainier a while back he said that glaciers on the other side have actually showed advancement (ie. the Emmons). On Mt. Baker I've seen changes in my own life, but I'm just curious if there is anyone on here that knows about any current research.

Bummer. Looks like Kevbone L' have to find another spot.

uhmm, a whole lot. I think it is visible from space. I saw a picture once.

OK, this is nuts. I know a guy who did it in 18 hours, and I thought that was impossible! FUCKING AWSOME JOB MAN!

Archy, that is bullshit. According to PEMCO, I think insurance follows the driver, not the car. I mean, you have to pay more for your Humvee, but you can still drive any car and keep your insurance. The fact that they are making you pay for your buddy's mistake is insane. Definately fight it. When it comes to insurance companies, I just always remember that they are "companies", which means that all they want is your cash. So squeeze em and threaten them with nuclear attack if you have to! Fuck em. There is no way someones else's driving mistake should EVER go on your permenant record, even if you do own the car. Good luck!

How about MDMA? I've never done it, but apparently it changes your life so profoundly that you will always take care of yourself and there will be no more wars. Apparently.......

Well, the bears have brute strength and massive clawed paws to smack with, but the unicorns have momentum and giant spears to impale an unfortunate bear in the neck....... Tough call......

I've put honey in those squeeze tubes with a pinch of ON whey protein. My ratios were probably far from perfect, but the taste was great!

Great job guys.

Not when the sun expands and the earth is consumed by fire. I'm sure we'll need guns then.

YOU GUYS ARE MY HEROS.

Does the same go for Mari-jua-anna?

I did know that alcohol completes for glycogen storage, but the source I read was talking about really low alcohol content beer.

Here's a thought....in America we have the right to bear arms, and the right to own a hand gun. This law has been around since antiquity. If you don't like it, why don't YOU move to Canada? Listen Mr. B, just because something has "been around since antiquity" doesn't mean that its still a good thing! Fear and violence just breed more fear and more violence. YOU REDNECK.

You are my kinda guy! One time back in high school when I was drunk and stupid I got dared to do just that.........it stung like hell! Oh, speaking of alcohol, I've read that the pre-digested starches in good beer are actually some of the best forms of carbohydrate for glycogen repleation. Anyone heard or read that too?

THANKS FOR THE TR! I was up there last year, and it was one of the most beautiful cascade routes I've ever been on. Your pictures are fantastic too. Again, thanks for sharing!

eP6UvNgbqIA HOLY CRAP. Did he shoot himself in the foot? He was limping afterwards! So Choada boy, get your gun. Then you too can have fun being one of the retards who accidently shoots his wife dead.

Hey, miladugga, THANK YOU. I can't believe the magnitude of genuine responses this thread has gotten. All these words are helping me hugely. Its a pretty tough game, deciding where to put one's energy. As I said earlier, the reason for my wanting to go into healthcare is because of my heart and mind. I want more than just to "help people", I want to change people's lives for the better - especially when it comes to injuries and lifestyle management. It seems like so many out there suffer every day for reasons that could easily be remedied, and I want to have an effect on that. I decided this year that medical school is probably not for me. You see, after putting myself through honestly the roughest battle I've ever gone through, I don't think that the stress and sleep deprivation of four MORE years is what I want to put myself through. On top of that, it seems as though doctors in general live higher stress lives than most (the national statistic for average hours worked per week is 60) and I want to do a lot more than JUST my career. Like climbing mountains and raising kids, for example. So there you have it. I'm pretty sure that I've narrowed my search down to PT, PA, or LNP. I've also considered Osteopathic or Naturopathic medical school. The problem I have with there are: Osteopaths are basically the exact same thing as MD's, so there are the same "not wanting to age myself any faster with excessive stress" problems; Naturopaths seem to have to bust ass super hard just to make a buck - mostly because the field is still "new" to this culture, and its not main stream (an ND friend of mine even told me "just go get your MD degree, and practice with the philosophy of an ND. The path has already been pathed for you when it comes to making a living"). Who knows anymore.........I seem to over think things so excessively that I work myself into a confused mess, and then I just want to say fugg it all and become a climbing dirt bag for the rest of my life. OK, ramble over.

"A gun requires no special training or expertise, other than when to use it" Uhm, yeah, exactly. Hense Americas statistics for the thousands of wankers who kill each other every year because of stupidity. Go to Canada if you are so f***ing scared of getting murdered....... -Only in this country do people fear each other this much. PATHETIC.

Heres an abstract for you, jackass. Williams MB, Raven PB, Fogt DL, Ivy JL. (2003). Effects of recovery beverages on glycogen restoration and endurance exercise performance. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. 17, 1, 12. The restorative capacities of a high carbohydrate-protein (CHO-PRO) beverage containing electrolytes and a traditional 6% carbohydrate-electrolyte sports beverage (SB) were assessed after glycogen-depleting exercise. Postexercise ingestion of the CHO-PRO beverage, in comparison with the SB, resulted in a 55% greater time to exhaustion during a subsequent exercise bout at 85% maximum oxygen consumption (VO(2)max). The greater recovery after the intake of the CHO-PRO beverage could be because of a greater rate of muscle glycogen storage. Therefore, a second study was designed to investigate the effects of after exercise CHO-PRO and SB supplements on muscle glycogen restoration. Eight endurance-trained cyclists (VO(2)max = 62.1 +/- 2.2 ml.kg(-1) body wt.min(-1)) performed 2 trials consisting of a 2-hour glycogen-depletion ride at 65-75% VO(2)max. Carbohydrate-protein (355 ml; approximately 0.8 g carbohydrate (CHO).kg(-1) body wt and approximately 0.2 g protein.kg(-1) body wt) or SB (355 ml; approximately 0.3 g CHO.kg(-1) body wt) was provided immediately and 2 hours after exercise. Trials were randomized and separated by 7-15 days. Ingestion of the CHO-PRO beverage resulted in a 17% greater plasma glucose response, a 92% greater insulin response, and a 128% greater storage of muscle glycogen (159 +/- 18 and 69 +/- 32 micromol.g(-1) dry weight for CHO-PRO and SB, respectively) compared with the SB (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that the rate of recovery is coupled with the rate of muscle glycogen replenishment and suggest that recovery supplements should be consumed to optimize muscle glycogen synthesis as well as fluid replacement. See, sugar is good

It's all about MILK. $2 per gallon? w00t! I drank a liter every day one summer I was biking every day. I was wicked strong. EXACTLY! Milk is one of the most PERFECT sport nutrition drinks. Especially if you get 1% fat chocolate milk - its got near perfect ratios of carbs to protein to fats. Certainly beats the shit out of powerade. Probably the most important thing I've learned about sports nutrition is that its all about ratios. You can't just go eat a shit ton of protein and expect to gain anything. You've got eat roughly four carb units per unit of protein. Care to explain how 20 grams of sugar per 8 ounce serving is the perfect sports drink? Dude, sugar is a very good thing when it comes to post workout nutrition.

FUCK HOTMAIL USE GMAIL.

OK yeah, that was a GOOD comeback! Hopefully she does a lot more than just spit when she talks!
