anybody have a visual aid? I am having a hard time picturing how a car got involved with a gondola tower. Is this from a parking area to the hill or through some residential area or something? Its not just a lift from the base to the summit or something.

the story said between whistler and blackcomb so I just assumed it was the new one! thanx for the clarification:biggthump Wright said the accident took place near Fitzsimmons Creek, between Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. hows this for possible soiled undies A bartender at the Longhorn Saloon and Grill said other staff in the infamous Whistler pub saw a gondola car flip upsidedown, and then she witnessed it swinging wildly from side to side for quite some time. There did not appear to be anyone inside the car, although she did hear ambulance sirens responding to the scene.

don't hold the inhale quite as long and only hit it once or twice during technical reading type situations:eplus2:

I have some Raichle's in a 29.5 they have a race kit and spoilers and Bts but I could part those out if you don't need them.

Its easy to do providing we have enough interest to justify the expense. If only a few are interested we could go up later in the week when they are open.

I will let you demo a 3800 and a 4807 if you like when you are up here. I also have a dupraz D1. The 3800 and the Dupraz are for sale. I am ordering a stiffer dupraz to go with my 285# butt. love the ride tho.

Thats the crowded week by our standards! You might have to wait in line for more than 2-3 minutes. there is a local group some of which post here. Redman johnasmo westcarven Myself monodude all together probably ten hardbooters although we don't all ride hardboots all the time. I will be on the mountain through the weekend but I have to work mon thru wed. Rick is up daily and rob bernie is there most days. you should see 2-3 of us on a given day without any hookup at all. drop me an email before you arrive and I will give you my cell number. We can meet up and take the tour of the mountain etc. Bring your fog goggles and a powder board both are likely to crop up during your trip. ITs dumping on the mountain right now.

here's another good read to balance your mind. "The Great Bird Flu Hoax" Joseph Mercola

The negative research on vitamin C was done with pure ascorbic acid. True vitamin C is actually a mineral ascorbate. Its actually a base rather than an acid. examples of products would be ester C and Emergen-C I prefer Emergen-C myself. Pharmaceutical grade stuff does not exist in nature and your body is not really programmed to handle it. Your body gets its normal Vit C from food like oranges where the vitamin is accompanied by bioflavanoids and hesperidin complexes and enzyme tags that help the body identify and use the nutrients. When you take pure ascorbic acid you end up squirting most of it out your rear end because the body just dumps it. you can take much higher doses of Vit C in the ascorbate form and get much more out of it. here's a hint don't buy your nutritionals from the companies that say they don't work:freak3: All the drugstore brands are made by drug companies. try a reputable brand like Emergen-C Garden of life shaklee standard process etc.

leaving aside the extra crap and additives in the vaccine and assuming that the theory is actually sound, Its nearly impossible for the drug company to guess which strains are going to be present from one year to the next or whether they will mutate enough to make the vaccine ineffective. The risks involved with the preservatives and other additives in the vaccine very clearly outweigh the benefits. 1 in 500 gets a severe reaction most get a reaction that is unpleasant and usually as debilitating as getting the flu. most people feel crappy for a few days some get really sick after a flu shot. Personally I would rather boost my immune system during the flu season and take my chances. I have never gotten a flu shot without feeling crappy.

reading the complaint the FTC's biggest bitch was the dosage of vitamin C. They make the statement that Vit c taken in that high of a dose could cause kidney stones and is unsafe. The research that gives basis to the dosage is from linus pauling the only 2 time unshared nobel prize winner. Its interesting to me that drug companies have enough hold on government now to effectively negate the lifes work and achievements of such a decorated individual. A lot of great minds were stamped out of existence in the early part of the last century. Rife, tesla etc.

Zicam is also a supplement. I wouldn't put a whole lot of stock in proof that it does anything suits when it comes to natural stuff. The "standard" is peer review research which is so full of insider manipulation and misleading crap that it is little more than a marketing tool at this point. i'll probably get flamed by someone over this but the truth is that any free thinking scientist will tell you that the journal process is totally corrupted and invalid at this time. Its literally pay to play and get the results you pay for stuff. The much maligned anecdotal evidence has more credibility now than ever before. I will personally trust years of positive feedback over the government any day! The drug standard is also different in that results are expected with in minutes of administering the pill. Most nutrtionals can take several days at a minimum to show results. The application of drug type standards to a study on a nutrtional will nearly always show little to no effect. So, if you want to use this type of product start taking it when you know you are at risk. If someone in your house is sick or you feel a little tickle in your throat etc. take the product regularly for a couple weeks. They work much better that way then if you take them after you have full blown symptoms.

Willy flush it with colloidal silver. get yourself some black elderberry tincture and take it regularly 4-5 times a day. Zicam is a decent product however the one invented by the school teacher for air travel is the better one. sorry the name escapes me at the moment.

good to have you back brother. drop me an email
