  1. Some links on gingko biloba + AMS here, here, and here.
  2. Last minute call for a partner on Monday and Tuesday. Ideally something snowy and alpine, would settle for anything, including aiding Index in the rain. I'm bad at everything, but I enjoy it nonetheless.
  3. Yeah, but it takes an artiste of the the extreme to come up with lines like: Me, I am a player...
  4. My friend Dan has a cockatoo that he's training to clip bolts. It almost works, but the damn bird keeps backclipping. I told him he should've got a parrot instead.
  5. You'd wanna sex me too, if you could.
  6. better yet, let's have a Hot Tub Pub Club- more alliterative bang for your buck.
  7. One more vote for the Buckaroo. The Buckaroo has the highest concentration of Harley's of any bar on the westside.
  8. I hate to say it, but the new system makes a fair amount of sense- the people who climb it once per year are probably using the dog routes (and using the waste management systems) while climbers repeatedly hitting the mountain are probably using different routes, and hopefully not impacting the environment as much. Also, it might be a fair generalization to say that people who don't climb as much put a proportionally greater strain on the climbing rangers (I could be way off base here). It sucks to pay to climb public property, but this system seems a fair alternative to having frozen turds thawing out all along the Muir snowfield all summer.

    Are you safer now?

    The rationale behind Bush's attack was a pre-emptive strike against terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. Now that its a done deal, are you safer now? Are you safer now?Yes, I feel much safer now. Terrorism will cease, and we can dismantle the Homeland Security Act.I'm safer than before, but now Norh Korea needs an ass-whooping.I'm safer than before, but France gives me the willies. Please kill the French.I'm feel safer, but we should annex Canda and Mexico as buffer zones.Hell no I'm not safe yet. Keep them tanks rolling til they hit the Pacific Ocean!I won't feel safe til Bush is out of office and the Homeland Security Act is repealed.

    Prophecy:

    Trask, go back to your room and shut up while the adults are talking. This bullshit about Americans not protesting other injust wars is intolerable, especially in light of this week's tragic death of Rachel Corrie, run over by an Israeli bulldozer. You may not have agreed with her, but she had the strength to back up her convictions. She was doing her best to confront injustice. So shut the fuck up, Trask, and have a moment of silence to support the people who fight the good fight even if they're not wearing a uniform.

    hipper than ebola?

    CDC raises alarm over new form of pneumonia Health organizations work to stop spread of 'worldwide threat' Saturday, March 15, 2003 Posted: 11:11 PM EST (0411 GMT) ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended Saturday that Americans consider delaying nonessential travel to countries affected by an outbreak of a rapidly spreading, severe form of pneumonia that does not appear to respond to treatment. The CDC "is advising persons traveling on nonessential or elective travel to affected areas that they may wish to postpone their trips until further notice," Dr. Julie Gerberding, the agency's director, said in a rare Saturday news conference. Cases of the form of pneumonia, dubbed severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), have been reported in Canada, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. No cases have been confirmed in the United States. But early Saturday, a doctor from Singapore on a flight home from New York was taken off a plane during a stopover in Frankfurt, Germany, after showing signs of SARS, German and New York City health officials said. The doctor, who was in New York for a conference, had recently treated two patients in Singapore with SARS, the New York City Department of Health said. He attended the conference for only "a few hours," the department said, and had "minimal contact with others" during his two days in the city. The physician has been hospitalized with a respiratory illness, the health department said. Also, another person who traveled from the state of Georgia to Canada appears to have been stricken with the illness, Gerberding said. Health authorities in New York and Georgia are attempting to trace the travelers' contacts while they were in the United States, she said. Asked whether the outbreak could have been caused by terrorism, Gerberding said, "We have to keep an open mind." However, a spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration, which oversees security on airlines, said, "All information at present indicates this is a public health issue unrelated to any act of terrorism." The CDC news conference was held a few hours after the World Health Organization issued a worldwide emergency advisory containing guidance for travelers and airlines, and calling the disease "a worldwide threat." However, the WHO is not recommending people restrict travel. During the past week, more than 150 new or suspected cases of the pneumonia have been reported, the WHO said. Nine of those people have died. "This syndrome, SARS, is now a worldwide health threat," said Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland, director general of the WHO. "The world needs to work together to find its cause, cure the sick and stop its spread." The illness is characterized by fever higher than 101 degrees Fahrenheit [39.3 degrees Celsius] and respiratory symptoms such as shortness of breath, coughing or difficulty breathing. Doctors are being urged to look for the illness in people who have either been in close contact with someone diagnosed with the disease or who have recently traveled to areas reporting cases of the illness. Little benefit from medication Neither antibiotics nor antiviral medications -- the standard weapons against pneumonia -- have proven effective, WHO spokesman Dick Thompson said. The average incubation period between exposure to a sick person and onset of symptoms is about three days, the WHO spokesman said. The CDC put the incubation period at between two and seven days. The cause of the disease remains a mystery. "We've run almost every flu test we can run and we don't get consistent results," Thompson said. "We get hints here and there, but right now I couldn't tell you if it's a virus or a bacteria. I just don't have any idea." U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson said his agency "is applying a full-court press to learn more about this outbreak and how it might impact on the United States." It is unclear how long it takes for the symptoms to go away or whether they go away at all, WHO's Thompson said. "Right now, nobody gets better. Some decline and stabilize for a while. Some people rapidly decline and need mechanical-assist devices to breathe." But Gerberding of the CDC said some patients have improved. The disease was identified in November in China's Guangdong province, where an outbreak killed five of 350 people afflicted before ending in mid-February, the WHO's Thompson said. Hospital workers -- doctors, nurses, housekeeping staff, laboratory technicians and medical students -- appear at highest risk, he said. The CDC has activated its emergency operations center to assist WHO in the investigation and will post recommendations on identifying and treating the illness on its Web site, Gerberding said. The CDC also advises passengers returning from areas where SARS has been diagnosed to consult a doctor if they become sick with fever during the week after their return, she said. Disease seems to spread like flu Spread of whatever causes the illness appears to be person-to-person, with a number of cases in Asia being reported among health care and other hospital workers, as well as household contacts of the patients, Gerberding said. That pattern of transmission is typical of any flu-like illness, she said, adding that health officials have no evidence that it can be spread through brief contact or among large groups of people. In addition to the respiratory symptoms, signs of the illness can include initial rapid onset of high fever followed by muscle aches, headache and sore throat. Muscle stiffness, loss of appetite, malaise, confusion, rash and diarrhea are also common symptoms. Early laboratory findings include low platelet and white blood cell counts. In some cases, those symptoms are followed by pneumonia in both lungs, sometimes requiring use of a respirator. -- CNN correspondent Patty Davis contributed to this article HEALTH WARNING: The World Health Organization alerts travelers to be aware of the symptoms, which include: People presenting after February 1 with a history of fever greater than 38 C (100.4 F) AND one or more respiratory symptoms including cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing AND One or more of the following: Close contact with a person who has been diagnosed with SARS. Close contact means having cared for, having lived with, or having had direct contact with respiratory secretions and body fluids of a person with SARS. Recent history of travel to areas reporting cases of SARS. Probable cases are defined as: A person with chest x-ray findings of pneumonia or Respiratory Distress Syndrome OR A person with an unexplained respiratory illness resulting in death, with an autopsy examination demonstrating the pathology of Respiratory Distress Syndrome without an identifiable cause.
  22. Figger 8! You dirty rotten turncoat! I thought you were gonna meet us up here in 'Little Exit 38'. I feel bereaved
  23. gear was thrown on the bed in a messy pile. push it aside at bedtime (use rope as pillow). If getting night-time visitors, quickly shove it all in the closet (on top of the pile of clothes) and make the bed. Leave the rope on the bed, just in case.
  24. and so I was like: Yeah- me too. Good job on the outreach, Newstips. I appreciate it, and I'm sure many others do, too. However, there is a real gem of a news story lurking on CC that really deserves highlighting- me. Not only am I really, really, really good looking, but I'm stupendously photogenic. On the downside, I'm not 'technically' a climber, but I do lurk on CC, which is more or less the same thing, right? Besides, all those other stories would require some phone calls, some interviews, some fact checking and probably some cold and rainy photo ops. With me, you get great photo ops for the small price of a few brewskis in a cozy environment (I'm thinking Toi, downtown) with an attractive, wealthy and single tv anchor. Hell, it needn't be an anchor, I'm not proud, a simple reporter would do. PM me when you're interested.
