• Q: Why do women fake orgasms?
  A: They think we care.

Seven thousand feet up in the Colorado Rockies, nestled quietly below one of the largest ski mountains in North America, sits a small ranching community that serves as a constant reminder that the Old West is alive and well. Never far from its ranching roots, Steamboat remains firmly linked to a Western tradition that sets it apart from every other ski resort in the world.

Whether you’re stepping foot into a local pub, one of our charming boutiques, or stepping off the gondola, the reception is the same--warm. But the down home friendliness is only half the reason people choose to vacation here. With 142 trails, 3,668 vertical feet, and nearly 3,000 skiable acres, its six peaks are filled with world-class groomed cruisers, bumps, steeps, open meadows, legendary trees & Mavericks-North America’s longest superpipe.

Steamboat is simply known around the globe as Ski Town USA®. Its skiing heritage dates back to the early 1900s. No other town in North America has produced more winter Olympians than Steamboat Springs, a record 54 and counting. In fact, Steamboat sent more athletes to the 2002 Games than many small countries including Travis Mayer, 2002 Olympic Silver Medalist.

And long before people strapped on skis for fun, Steamboat residents in the late 1800s were using ski and snowshoes in their daily lives. In fact, Steamboat Springs recently celebrated its 100-year anniversary. You’ll be hard pressed to find another resort town that exudes this much history, heritage and character. Come see for yourself why so many people call Steamboat home.

* Diamox (Acetazolamide) allows you to breathe faster so that you metabolize more oxygen, thereby minimizing the symptoms caused by poor oxygenation. This is especially helpful at night when respiratory drive is decreased. Since it takes a while for Diamox to have an effect, it is advisable to start taking it 24 hours before you go to altitude and continue for at least five days at higher altitude. The recommendation of the Himalayan Rescue Association Medical Clinic is 125 mg. twice a day (morning and night). (The standard dose was 250 mg., but their research showed no difference for most people with the lower dose, although some individuals may need 250 mg.) Possible side effects include tingling of the lips and finger tips, blurring of vision, and alteration of taste. These side effects may be reduced with the 125 mg. dose. Side effects subside when the drug is stopped. Contact your physician for a prescription. Since Diamox is a sulfonamide drug, people who are allergic to sulfa drugs should not take Diamox. Diamox has also been known to cause severe allergic reactions to people with no previous history of Diamox or sulfa allergies. Frank Hubbell of SOLO recommends a trial course of the drug before going to a remote location where a severe allergic reaction could prove difficult to treat.

* Dexamethasone (a steroid) is a prescription drug that decreases brain and other swelling reversing the effects of AMS. Dosage is typically 4 mg twice a day for a few days starting with the ascent. This prevents most symptoms of altitude illness. It should be used with caution and only on the advice of a physician because of possible serious side effects. It may be combined with Diamox. No other medications have been proven valuable for preventing AMS.

How to defeat the plot of the Illuminati: Part 4

A Luciferian conspiracy

The necessity for Social Credit

The prayers and sacrifices to obtain the assistance of Heaven are certainly necessary to thwart the plan of the Financiers. But a technique, a temporal means, is also necessary to thwart the plan of the Financiers. This means is the Social Credit reform, conceived by the Scottish engineer, Clifford Hugh Douglas, the only reform that the Financiers really fear, and that would put an end to their power to control all the nations. ("Social Credit" means social money - money created without debt by society, issued with new production, and withdrawn from circulation as production is consumed - instead of having a banking credit as it is the case today - money created as a debt by private banks.)

Douglas first thought that once his discovery and its implications would be brought to the attention of the governments and of those in charge of the economy, they would hasten to implement it. But Douglas soon made another discovery: the Financiers, who ruled the economy, were absolutely not interested in changing the financial system, and its flaws and consequences (wars, waste, poverty, social friction, etc.) were absolutely what they desired, and even fostered deliberately, in order to impose their solution of a one-world government. So the Financiers did everything they could to stop and silence the Social Credit idea: a conspiracy of silence in the news media, or deliberate falsification of Douglas's doctrine, in order to render it vulnerable; calumies and ridicule against the apostles of "Michael". Douglas wrote in his book Warning Democracy:

"So rapid was the progress made by the Social Credit ideas between 1919 and 1923 both in this country (Great Britain) and abroad, and so constantly did ideas derived from them appear in the pages of the press, that the interests threatened by them became considerably alarmed, and took what were, on the whole, effective steps to curtail their publicity. In this country the Institute of Bankers allocated five million pounds (then the equivalent of 24 million dollars) to combat the "subversive" ideas of ourselves and other misguided people who wished to tinker with the financial system, The large Press Associations were expressly instructed that my own name should not be mentioned in the public press, and no metropolitan newspaper in this country or the United States was allowed to give publicity, either to correspondence or to contributions bearing upon the subject. In spite of this the Canadian Parliamentary Inquiry at which I was a witness (in 1923) managed to expose on the one hand the ignorance of evec leading bankers of the fundamental problems with which they had to deal, and on the other hand the lengths to which the financial power was prepared to go to retain control of the situation.»

One must not forget to mention here that the best way that the Financiers found to stop the advancement of the Social Credit idea was the creation of political parties falsely bearing the name "Social Credit", to make people think that voting for a new party is sufficient to change the system, whereas what is needed is the education of the people (by having them subscribe to the "Michael" Journal), to force the elected representatives to serve the population, instead of serving the Financiers. Fortunately, all the so-called "Social Credit parties" are dead and buried now, but they did a lot f damage and spread confusion in the minds while they existed.

AL GORE HAS A SCREW LOOSE
DELUSIONS ARE EVIDENT
By: Dave Franklin

While the rest of the world is debating war in Iraq, Al Gore continues to debate himself -- and he's losing. Polls show that Bill Clinton's number-two man has the lead among party voters for the 2004 Democratic primaries. But of 312 members surveyed from the Democratic National Committee, only one third of them support Gore as the declining party's nominee in '04. It is entirely possible, even likely, that the other two thirds of the DNC are holding an Eleanor Roosevelt séance and chanting three words... "President Hillary Clinton, President Hillary Clinton, President Hillary Clinton".

Meanwhile, Al Gore and his loving wife Tipper are engaged in a high profile book tour in which they promote the Democrat's "two for one" book deal. How readers could miss out on an opportunity to grab up the Gore's dual literary masterpieces is unknown. But "The Spirit of Family" (pictures on how children are important in warning against leaving the water running while you brush your teeth) and "Joined at the Heart" (brilliant cultural commentary proclaiming the value of those lengthy kisses at national political conventions) don't seem to be selling well in post-9/11 America. Neither of the two books is getting anywhere on anybody's real best-seller list.

"Nothing" - If you ask your lady friend what is wrong and she says "Nothing," this means something is wrong and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will end with her telling you, "Fine."
NOTE: Always Check with and follow the advice of your Physician!

GALS: When to get tested for Group B strep
Though the bacteria Group B streptococcus is usually benign when found in adults, it can cause a host of problems when passed along from mother to baby. Not long ago, women were tested for GBS between the 26th and 28th weeks of pregnancy. But doctors and midwives now recognize that testing between weeks 35 and 37 is better. The bacteria come and go in adult bodies, so the closer to delivery the test is performed, the better your chances of getting meaningful results. Results are usually available within 24 to 48 hours. If you're found to have GBS, you'll receive antibiotics intravenously during labor and delivery.
NOTE: Always Check with and follow the advice of your Physician!

The woman stands there for a moment, shaken and transfixed; and then exclaims, "Holy shit, it WORKS!"

Suppose a web page appears to hang up. Just click Stop and then click Reload. This will often open the page for you.

If you click Stop and Reload and you still have a problem, click Stop, then hold down the Shift key and click Reload. This causes Netscape 6 to reload from the original site rather than from the cache files on your computer or the cache files of a proxy.

TIP: Safely Cooling Foods
Foods that are prepared in large batches (soups and stews) are especially susceptible to harmful spoilage. It is always advisable to cool down the foods before placing them in the refrigerator. One way to do this is to add ice to your sink (with the stopper in place). Place the soup pot on the ice and add water to the sink (up about 3/4 of the side of the pan). Add ice as needed. Stir the food frequently. When chilled cover and refrigerate. Another way to quick chill is to transfer the soup or stew to a shallow baking pan (like a lasagna dish) before refrigerating. This allows a faster, safer cool down.
