Damn, I was hoping the Front Rangers would never find Lime Park....
That being said, this area is a very good weekend destination trip. You will probably have the whole place to yourself. You must bring everything you need because it is a long rough road back to town. The road over Crooked Creek pass is not open in the winter or early spring, unless you have a snowmobile.
This is a very cool and wild place. Let's try to keep it that way.

|Hey Richard, errr, I mean AC;are there some moderate lines for big hens like me?

|Don't worry Lee. None of these people will actually make the trip. It's too obscure for most, even if you live close by. Rifle is much better.

|It appears that the choss-starved Front Rangers have indeed found the place. I've heard rumors that a good majority of routes have been put in by Front Range Fiends who have run out of good stone. If you do go, bring your helmet and watch out for the limestone-dust-snorting choss-monkeys using backhoes, dynamite and other new route excavation equipment to trundle boulders into the scree. I've never been to Ceuse, but Shelf and Rifle are certainly not slagheaps like Slime Park. And the camping (in the cow shit!) is at your own risk, what with all the rednecks and yahoos drinking swill and blasting the hillsides full of lead till the wee hours of the morning. Sorry, no plug-ins for the EuroVans (if you manage not to rip your frickin' muffler off on the way in). I guess the gas sippin' Jetta is out - best just make it a Rifle weekend, 'less yer handy with oilpan repair. Oh, and the "moderate" lines seem to be loosely sprinkled with rusting coldshuts circa early nineties - musta' been put up by Old School Hardmen with balls as big as church bells and wallets as tight as a squirrels ass. If you slobbering Front Rangers (you know who you are) do come seeking your choss fix, don't camp in areas that ain't already camped in. You'll piss off the local cowpoke (Maynard), who's like as not to raise a stink with his buddies at BLM, who already view rock apes as rogues and miscreants, and would like nothing better to shut down all the crags on Uncle Sam's land. Your land? My land?.....

|Lime Creek is a beautiful place, especially in the Fall when the aspens are turning, but the routes are pretty lame....for now. The rock is no where near as featured as Rifle, and Ceause?...give me a break! There is a cave that stands to clean up OK and a couple of really nice lines (even moderate ones), but this is really a "check it out once and move on" area. Rifle and Shelf are better destinations. Chances are you will run into "developers" looking to make a name for themselves (jump on board if you missed out on Rifle). Even with aggresive development, you will experience maybe 1 out of 50 routes worth classic status.

|As a long time climber and caver, I urge you folks to please be considerate of this beautiful semi-alpine location. There are many fragile caves in the area that cavers have been visiting for decades. Cavers have fought hard to save this place from loggers, miners and developers. There is plenty of rock here, so please don't put bolts or boulder in the caves or the cave entrances. Cavers and climbers alike have had many areas in the country closed because of inconsiderate bolting. Let's not let Lime Park suffer the same fate.

|As another long time climber and caver, I'd like to add my support to AC's comment - the caves in this area have been carefully protected for many years, and I'd hate to see them damaged by wanton bolting. Please, if you are going to climb here, be respectful of the setting and make every effort to minimize your impact!

Just wondering how much sun the various areas get? Is it climbable now with this hot weather? Thanks...
By Nate Adams
Jul 9, 2007
I've updated the topos above.
Regarding sun, west-facing crags go into the shade early afternoon (1:30ish). The North Wall stays shady all day. East-facing crags are shaded by conifers, so you can climb on this side into the afternoon.
There are about a dozen lines left of the Punchbowl - I don't have good beta on these, but I hear there are a few decent routes. Anyone out there have beta?
There are miscellaneous routes popping up here and there, some look quite good. The projects that I'm aware of have red tags, I presume the rest are good to go.

Hey Nate,
Left of the Punchbowl are some 10's/11's and then some harder stuff left of that. Luke Laeser bolted about 5 of the lines, not sure about the others.

|Mike, I'd be totally psyched to know what routes you did, names, grades, approximate dates, etc. As I mentioned in the postings, I gave the mystery routes names only as a temporary measure (Un-named 09 is a pretty boring name, no?). There are a few routes popping up here and there - if you have the scoop on these lines, let me know. By the way, I sent you an email via Mtn. Proj. back in July - you may not have gotten it. Feel free to email me via mtn proj with beta. Cheers, Nate

Lime Creek is included in the new guidebook Rifle Mountain Park and Western Colorado Rock Climbs. The author of that section of the book is Nate Adams, who contributed many of the routes to this site. As Nate, myself, and probably many others have found out, the history of Lime Creek climbing is not well documented. Apparently there are plenty of instances of people putting up routes in the woods, not really telling too many people, not really writing too much down about the routes, and then not really remembering too much about them when asked. For that reason, researching the history of routes at Lime Creek was very difficult, and the guidebook, and the info on this site, probably contains inaccuracies. But what is one to do? Not publish anything because the info is hard to come by, or publish what you know and hope that the "first draft" inspires others to remember the past and help fill in the holes that for now remain empty? I hope that over time the "picture" of the past at Lime Creek will become more clear, but for now please know that the information for this area is not really definitive.
If you have information that you would like to see in the next edition of the guidebook, or gripes about the current edition, feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I will post corrections and updates at wolverinepublishing.com.
Have fun out there!

If you are making a trip here in the heat of summer and are coming along I-70, you should check out Fulford Cave. Lime Park can get hot and Fulford Cave stays around 40 degrees. There's some really cool huge rooms. It's maybe 20 miles away and a nice distraction and place to cool off. Be sure to bring a spare set of clothes, headlamp, helmet and gloves. Gets pretty dirty in there. I think a google search for Fulford Cave and/or Sylvan Lake can provide maps and info.
If you are camping and the main sites are full, there are two nice separate secluded sites if you make a right leaving either of the two roads leaving the canyon. You'll go over a cow grate then up a slightly rocky hill the sites are on your right after you crest the hill. No more than 5-10 minutes away from the canyon. I think this is south of the canyon. Or you could do what we did and ask to join the climbers you saw at independence pass the week before to join their site. Small world. Thanks guys and ladies.

Wow, I'm glad to see sport/trad climbers are still such immature douche-bags. Front Rangers ? really ? This isn't a turf war you imbecile, it's climbing. No wonder there aren't any hard routes up yet, If it's being hoarded by a bunch of rednecks who can barely struggle up 5.12.
To those concerned about the caving and preserving the beauty of the canyon, how would a few bolts on choice overhangs effect you or the integrity of the canyon. Honestly, it seems like the hatred is going to be its downfall!
My opinion of the canyon (and I've done every route there worth its salt) is that it has vast potential. With the exception of the first hundred yards or so of the canyon, the rock is far cleaner and more beautiful than Shelf Road and most of Rifle, which tends to be blocky and ugly. I have explored a great deal of the gorge, and have found SUPERB overhangs (or caves, if you want to use a misnomer) with excellent feature that are much steeper than the Punchbowl. The east rim wraps around for a couple miles after the canyon opens up, and I know there is a great deal of potential there for those who are willing to make the hike.

|Just visited for the 1st time this past weekend (8/14/10.) The road from Sylvan Lake IS closed, it's probably about a 1 1/2-2 mile hike from where you need to leave your car, but the walk is all mainly on flat road. The area is absolutely GORGEOUS----it's worth going just to camp and hike, but the climbing didnt blow my mind by any means. I don't think the route quality (rock & actual lines) are nearly as good as Shelf (eek, there I said it!! But this is also totally different limestone). Lots of the rock looks good from afar but is pretty sketchy once you're climbing on it. Maybe once it cleans up things will get better, but I do think some of the stuff I saw probably wasn't worth bolting. That said, it's still a great place to visit, explore and to do a little climbing in a pretty setting :)

Needed a shot before Evil Empire. This was a great find since we opened up sLime Creek this season to cars. Forest Service told us not to drive through the snow or they would have to actually DO SOMETHING and pull us out and they left. One shovel, 4 people, 1.5 hours later we opened the damn road this season, and a victory whiskey for everyone!

As someone else mentioned - that "new" (it was there last summer) corner route seemed 9+/10a.
There's another way to get there. You can drive up from Rudei Reservoir. Road is paved from Basalt to FR 512, then it's a much shorter dirt section than coming up from Eagle.

If the developer of these climbs and area sees this and wants to help make the info correct, just pm me and I will change it. I'm adding these routes specifically because the guidebook for Lime Creek is no longer in print, and the new addition has not come out yet, so any info on the area is limited toMountainnproject.

|What is the crag on the immediate right when you turn into the canyon? It has trees around the base and climbs. There is a trail to the rock and then a bit of a bushwhack along the base (at least 1-2 years ago anyway). There were some climbs that had ratings at the marked bottom of the rock. I can't figure out from this site if it is listed and detailed or not.

I believe what you are referencing is Team Wall, and all the routes were put up by Larry Moore (pretty much anything w/ a name-rock at the base at Lime Creek).
There is a more established trail there than eliminates the need to bushwhack up to it.

Manhunt Ends With Capture of Boston Bombing Suspect
WATERTOWN, Mass.—Authorities Friday arrested a 19-year-old college student suspected in the deadly Boston Marathon bombings, following a manhunt that for a full day had paralyzed a metropolis.
Police and Federal Bureau of Investigation agents converged on a house here around 7 p.m., officials said. Before taking him into custody nearly two hours later, authorities exchanged gunfire with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was found hiding in a boat, covered in blood, by a resident checking on his backyard.
Police said Mr. Tsarnaev had been wounded in an early-morning firefight with police. They said it was unclear if he suffered additional injuries in the shootout at the boat.
"CAPTURED!!! The hunt is over," tweeted the Boston Police Department. "The search is done. The terror is over."

Mr. Tsarnaev is one of two brothers alleged to have exploded two homemade bombs at the marathon Monday, killing three people and injuring more than 175. He was taken to a hospital and listed in serious condition.
Neighborhood residents cheered police after the arrest. An officer said, "God Bless America" over a megaphone as police vehicles ferried away Mr. Tsarnaev. "We've closed an important chapter in this tragedy," said President Barack Obama, after the capture was announced.
The arrest capped a violent overnight spree that began with the fatal shooting of a campus police officer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and included a police chase through Boston suburbs. The brothers, carrying an arsenal of explosives, fled police before dawn Friday in a stolen Mercedes and hurled pipe bombs in a firefight with police, which left one officer injured.
The older brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, wearing what appeared to be an explosive vest, was shot by police and died shortly after, while the younger brother narrowly escaped—after first running over Tamerlan's body with the Mercedes, officials said.
Authorities gave no indication of what motivated the brothers. Their family roots stretch to the Russian republic of Chechnya, which has been a wellspring of terrorism over the years.
The FBI in 2011 had interviewed the older brother, Tamerlan, at the request of the Russian government but found nothing suspicious, a U.S. official said Friday.
Friends said the two brothers, especially Dzhokhar, had settled comfortably into U.S. society. He was enrolled at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
The brothers, who lived in Cambridge, Mass., had escaped notice for three days after Monday's bombings. Late Thursday, the FBI released pictures and videos taken from security cameras near the marathon's finish line.
Broad release of the images apparently triggered a chaotic getaway attempt by the brothers, who arrived separately in the U.S., one around 2002 and the other in 2003 or 2004.
"Releasing that video really expedited things. People actually did recognize them," said Rep. Michael McCaul (R., Texas), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee. "That moved things along more quickly, to the point they decided they had to get out of town."
Political fights largely were sidelined during the hunt for the bombers. But on Friday evening, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.), via his Twitter account, suggested the White House consider holding the suspect in military custody. President Obama has ordered that U.S. citizens such as the younger Mr. Tsarnaev who are accused of terror offenses should face trial in civilian courts.

After Monday's attack, the brothers apparently stayed around the neighborhood where they had settled after immigrating, authorities said.
On Tuesday, Dzhokhar came to an auto-body shop to pick up a Mercedes he had dropped off for repairs, said Gilberto Junior, who works at the shop.
The younger brother was jittery, said Mr. Junior. "He was biting his nails and when he was talking to me his legs were like this," Mr. Junior said, shaking one leg. "He said, 'I need the car now. I need the car right now.' "
At 5:20 p.m. Thursday, the FBI released the photos and video of the brothers. Investigators said the two men apparently decided they needed a car to flee. It wasn't clear why they didn't use the Mercedes from Mr. Junior's shop.
Shortly before 10:20 p.m., MIT police officer Sean Collier, 26 years old, was ambushed and fatally shot in his car. Massachusetts State Police officials at first thought the shooting was unrelated to the marathon bombings.
At MIT, police used flashlights and search dogs to search the campus for more than an hour, with officers circling parts of the campus and clearing away passersby. Then the officers ran into their cars and sped away.
After the MIT shooting, the brothers allegedly used a gun to steal a Mercedes sport-utility vehicle, briefly kidnapping the driver and telling him they were responsible for the bombings, U.S. officials said. The victim escaped from his captors at a gas station in Cambridge, Mass. His captors then used his ATM card to withdraw cash.
The driver notified police, who spotted the stolen Mercedes and began the chase, with the suspects throwing explosive devices out of their vehicle.
Authorities believed they had trapped the car in a densely populated residential neighborhood of Watertown. But the brothers put up a fight.
Adonis Karageorgis, a 35-year-old dental student, said he saw the sky light up from his apartment. "You could just smell the smoke," he said. "It went high in the sky."
Tamerlan Tsarnaev got out of the car and was shot, authorities said. Richard Donohue Jr., a police officer, was seriously wounded in the firefight.
Seeing his brother shot, Dzhokhar threw the Mercedes into reverse and drove the car over his brother's body, a U.S. official said. Then he got out, and Massachusetts police said he escaped on foot.
Tamerlan was pronounced dead at a hospital Friday around 1:30 a.m., and the search for the surviving brother intensified. Hundreds of police swarmed the Watertown neighborhood. Helicopters flew overhead.
For most of the day, Boston was virtually shut down as authorities advised residents to stay locked indoors. Public transit, including commuter rail, buses and subways, were halted and Amtrak closed service to and from the city. Schools and offices were closed.
Armed personnel carriers rumbled down city streets and rifle-wielding police officers knocked on doors.
Chalena Graustuck, 23 years old, who lives a few blocks from the brothers' home, said she felt trapped: "It's just scary. I don't feel safe at all. I want to get on a plane and go far away from Cambridge but now we're stuck here."
Friday evening, the search narrowed to the house with the boat in Watertown. Irene Santoro, who lives on the street, said police arrived around 7 p.m. "They started coming down in 10s and 20s and 30s," she said. "It was like something you would see on TV. … My heart was palpitating."
The suspect was captured around 8:40 p.m. "This was truly an absolutely intense investigation,'' said Richard DesLauriers, head of the FBI's Boston office. "As a result of that, justice is being served for the victims of these terrible crimes.''
Authorities said it appeared the brothers were acting alone. The FBI and local police Friday evening briefly took away for questioning three people in their late teens or early 20s at an apartment complex in New Bedford, Mass., not far from where the younger Mr. Tsarnaev was attending college.
Witnesses said an FBI agent at the scene made comments suggesting authorities were interested in gathering information about the suspects.

Corrections & Amplifications
The alleged carjacking victim of the accused Boston Marathon bombers escaped from his captors at a gas station in Cambridge, Mass. His captors then used his ATM card to withdraw cash. A previous version of this article incorrectly reported that the victim was forced to withdraw cash and then was released by his captors. The accompanying maps and chronologies also incorrectly said the victim was released. In addition, the carjacking occurred on Brighton Avenue in Boston. The maps incorrectly indicated it occurred in the area around Third Street in Cambridge. The erroneous information originated in a Cambridge Police Department news release issued on April 19 and in law-enforcement briefings.

A pathogen test kit from DuPont recently earned certification from the Association of Analytical Communities Research Institute for detecting salmonella in a variety of food products, including bagged lettuce.
With the ability to return initial results for salmonella in 75 minutes, the test can speed product release, which can help maintain quality during longer shelf life, DuPont Nutrition & Health's global diagnostics leader Doris Engesser-Sudlow said in a company news release. Complete test results are available in 10 to 24 hours, depending on food type and what enrichment medium is used.
Dupont's BAX system was certified as "performance tested" by the association in using polymerase chain reaction technology to deliver fast, accurate results, the Wilmington, Del.-based chemical company's officials said in the release.
It can be used to test for pathogens on raw or finished product, as well as on some types of food contact surfaces. The test has previously been certified by the association for its effectiveness at detecting listeria and E. coli.
Described in the release as providing "real-time results" the test system determines the presence of several foodborne pathogens and other contaminants, including salmonella, listeria, E. coli and mold. The test differentiates species in each pathogen strain and provides a quantitative control count for each species present.
The test's certification from the research institute provides an independent third-party assessment of the proprietary analytical methods it uses, according to the release.
DuPont specifically sought the certification for use of BAX to detect salmonella in bagged lettuce as it is defined by the Food and Drug Administration. The company also received certification of the BAX test system for detecting salmonella in ground beef, chicken rinses, cream cheese, dry pet food, and on stainless steel surfaces.

Republicans set records for futility as they voted over and over again to repeal the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. They made themselves look petty and impotent as they flogged the legislative dead horse repeatedly. And their efforts to withhold funding for Obamacare partially shut down government and made financial markets panicky.
The only problem is that they were right about the so-called Affordable Care Act. Their methods may have been flawed, but they had the right idea. It�s a bad law that should be scrapped completely. Unfortunately, the best the American public can hope for are daily edicts attempting to put off the political reckoning for this monstrosity.
The ACA was sold to the American public on a foundation of untruths and half-truths. Americans were told that premiums wouldn�t increase; but premiums for many private policies have skyrocketed. Americans were told that they could keep their policies and their doctors if they wanted to. Now millions find their policies canceled or they find themselves with policies that won�t pay the doctors they�ve been seeing. That alone is reason enough to start over from scratch.
The law is so bad that its chief proponents, President Barack Obama and his Democratic allies, keep delaying implementation of its major provisions. They hope that will dull the worst of the impact so that the public doesn�t have to digest all of the flaws simultaneously.
In the latest move, the health insurance industry�s largest trade group, American Health Insurance Plans, got its members to voluntarily extend deadlines for premiums until Jan. 10, giving consumers who buy insurance by Dec. 23 an extra 10 days to pay. The move came at the administration�s urging. The cushion will come in handy as consumers are plagued by further computer problems like the ones that gummed up the system during the launch of the federal government�s website.
President Obama has acted unilaterally to delay the law�s employer mandate and other provisions; but at some point, the full weight of this ill-conceived legislation will bear down on the American people.
The ACA�s main purpose was to help uninsured and underinsured people obtain decent insurance. The belief was that with insurance, they would receive better health care. Most Americans wanted some kind of health care reform, particularly measures that would prevent insurance companies from canceling policies after policyholders got sick, as well as ones that would help people get coverage for pre-existing conditions. Those are still worthy goals that haven�t been met by the ACA.
Now Americans are finding out those who have been responsible and bought insurance over the years are subsidizing a huge wealth transfer with higher premiums. They pay more and get less, while the officials responsible for this fiasco walk away without penalty.

Military operations and training situations present many physical and psychological challenges for service members to adapt to and overcome. The challenges of these changing conditions necessitate having to cope with stress, which is seen as the negative perceptions, feelings, and emotions that manifest from the subjective physical and/or mental strain on life processes. In addition, service members are returning from deployments having gone through traumatic experiences that can develop into posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression or other serious conditions. The Surface Warfare Independent Duty Corpsman (IDC) School is an example of a training environment where some students may be entering the program with symptoms of PTSD, which may preclude or make it more difficult for them to perform well. Autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysregulation has been observed in patients with PTSD and those experiencing chronic stress, such that there is more arousing, sympathetic input to the heart than calming, parasympathetic input, which is usually the dominant division of the ANS involved in controlling one's heart rate. The IDC training program is an example of an environment where the service member is expected to excel while being subjected to multiple sources of stress. The fast tempo coupled with performance expectations may induce stress and actually inhibit learning. The Institute of HeartMath has developed the Coherence Advantage program which teaches one to self-regulate their emotions while focusing on breathing to compliment the active process of self-regulation. In conjunction, the emWave Personal Stress Reliever allows the user to receive heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback, hence giving the user the opportunity to self-regulate their ANS through breathing and self-regulation techniques. The proposed study will test the effectiveness of the Coherence Advantage program versus progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) in reducing stress symptomatology among Surface Warfare IDC students. The effectiveness of these two different interventions will be compared on outcomes of PTSD, depression, anxiety, sleep quality, perceived stress, attrition, and class performance.

Topic: Question on Lung Metastasis and suspension of treatment (Xeloda)
Hey everyone -
My dad (64) was diagnosed 5/06 and has been for the most part OK since (outside of two severe infections stemming from the stent that has since been replaced). His case is quite interesting b/c he has no masses or mets to the liver or surrounding areas and still has no major mass in the ducts. He does have a significant number of lung mets and there seems to be some progression since his last CT scan in April. The confusing problem is that the team of dr's overseeing him have failed miserably at esstimating rate of progression. All they basically tell him is that there is some growth and they suspended his latest treatment (Xeloda) that he only started in April.
I have a a couple of questions:
1) Does anyone have significant experiences with lung metastasis and potential treatment specifically for lungs (embolization/radiation/anything)
2) Is it prudent to suspend treatment after only about 12/16 weeks of using Xeloda
3) He has only been on Gemzar before so we are wondering if a combo treatment might be worthwhile, even using the same drugs
He is still doing quite well and outside of fatigue has no major symptoms so quality of life is critical. We don't know if going directly to some of the more hard core chemo regimens might be a good idea at this point.
We are really confused and I am actually quite angry since my dad is a physician and is taking a very passive approach to his treatment.
Thank you and good luck to everyone!

Detailed Description:
Topical nasal steroid sprays are the mainstream treatment for patients with nasal polyps. Polyps tend to recur after surgery and topical nasal steroid sprays are used as the primary medical management to prevent continued growth. More recently high dose topical nasal steroid sprays are used. It is thought that the higher dose will penetrate the sinus cavities at an increased dose and will allow for greater control of polyp growth. Safety studies have been performed which have shown no suppression of the pituitary axis with long term high dose topical steroid or changes in intraocular pressure. However, studies in efficacy are limited despite their widespread use. The objective of this study will be to compare the effectiveness of two topical nasal steroid sprays in patients with recurrent nasal polyps.

|Official Title:
|Comparison of Topical Nasal Steroids in Postoperative Sinus Patients With Nasal Polyps
Further study details as provided by Kristin Seiberling, MD, Loma Linda University:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Comparison of topical nasal steroids in postoperative sinus patients [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Primary outcome will be symptomatic improvement measured by the SNOT 20 survey and physical size of polyps as measured by nasal endoscopy.
|Study Start Date:
|February 2013
|Study Completion Date:
|February 2017
|Primary Completion Date:
|February 2017 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Fluticasone nasal spray will be given 2 sprays twice a day for 6 weeks.
Dexamethasone sodium phosphate 0.032%
Dexamethasone 0.032% nasal spray will be given at a dose of 2 sprays twice a day for 6 weeks.
Detailed Description:
Recruitment plan- Patients with nasal polyps who have had sinus surgery at least 3 months prior and documented nasal polyps by endoscopy will be prospectively recruited. This will be a randomized blinded study. Patients will be randomized into two groups- group 1 will received topical fluticasone and group 2 will receive topical dexamethasone spray to the nasal cavity. The investigator will be blinded as to which group the subjects are placed in. The medications will be given out from the inland compounding pharmacy located at 24747 Redlands Blvd, in Loma Linda.
- At the time of enrollment nasal endoscopy will be performed to confirm the diagnosis of nasal polyps and to grade the size of the polyps. Polyp size will be graded by the following scale: 0- no polyps, 1- polypoid mucosa, 2- polyps within sinus not occluding ostium, 3- polyps occluding ostium filling nasal cavity
- Subjects will be asked to fill out a SNOT 20 survey before the start of therapy.
- Subjects will be randomized into 2 groups by the flip of a coin. The investigator will be blinded to which group the subject is placed in. The pharmacist (Raylene Mote, Inland compounding pharmacy) who compounds the medications will be the only one aware of which medication was given.
- Subjects will pick up their medication at the inland compounding pharmacy and will be instructed to use the nasal spray- 2 sprays twice a day for 6 weeks.
- After 6 weeks the subjects will return to the office for repeat nasal endoscopy and will be asked to fill out a SNOT 20 survey.
- Continued therapy of the nasal steroid spray will be at the discretion of the physician. If subjects do not appear to be responding the nasal steroid spray the medication will be altered as deemed medically necessary.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|17 Years to 85 Years (Child, Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
|Sampling Method:
|Non-Probability Sample
Study Population
Group 1 - will be given fluticasone nasal spray Group 2- will be given dexamethasone nasal spray The 2 groups will be compared in terms of symptom control and polyp size

text: Overview By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week. About 10 to 20 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage. But the actual number is likely higher because many miscarriages occur so early in pregnancy that a woman doesn't realize she's pregnant. Miscarriage is a somewhat loaded term — possibly suggesting that something was amiss in the carrying of the pregnancy. This is rarely true. Most miscarriages occur because the fetus isn't developing normally. Miscarriage is a relatively common experience — but that doesn't make it any easier. Take a step toward emotional healing by understanding what can cause a miscarriage, what increases the risk and what medical care might be needed.

Beethoven's GraveTrick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.
The tour guide was finishing the tour at Beethoven's grave and told everyone that if they listened very carefully, they could hear actual music coming from the grave. Everyone immediately fell silent and, sure enough, symphony music could be distinctly heard coming from the ground although it sounded as if it were being played backwards. What could possibly explain this?
AnswerBeethoven was de-composing.

Question for the Money Doctors
Question submitted on Sep 23, 2012.
QuestionMy ex-husband has begun to receive disability payments and we have a 17 year old son who lives with me. From what I can glean from the SSA website, the payments will be sent directly to him. He is a minor child in my house. These payments will allow him to support himself if he runs away from home, wishes to become a drug dealer, or chooses to buy a huge pile of polo shirts and Jordan sneakers, rather than spend it on his basic needs. How is this possible?
Hello. You are correct - the disability payments come in his name. That said, he is your dependent which means you decide how that money should be spent. Since disability is paid through direct deposit, I suggest that you have payments directly deposited into your bank account or a joint checking account (jointly held with you and him). You will then have control over how the money is spent and help ensure it is used for his benefit. Good luck!

UNTIL RECENTLY, members of the Jewish community at Alma Via, an assisted living home in San Rafael, were without a Torah, the five books that make up the Jewish Bible.
Last month, a Torah was given to them, a very special Torah, a Holocaust Torah with a long and, at times, harrowing history, beginning when it was smuggled out of Nazi Germany in 1938.
"The Torah we're using today, which my family is so very proud to bring to all of you, has quite a story," 12-year-old Charlotte Smith told the congregation when it was dedicated at a Simchat Torah service in October at Alma Via.
It originally belonged to her great-great-grandfather, David Hamburger, a horse and cattle dealer in Fuerstenau, a quaint village in the countryside of northern Germany.
"The Jewish community in Fuerstenau was so small that it didn't have a synagogue," Charlotte began. "David was the leader of the congregation, and the Jewish families would come to worship in his home. Somehow — we don't know how — the community had its own Torah, this Torah, which David kept safely in his home."
On the infamous Kristallnacht, Nov. 9, 1938, the Nazis went hunting for Jews all over Germany. Neighbors and friends hid David in a hospital in town and, the next day, helped him slip back home to pack, knowing that he had to get out of Germany right away.
"He had to hurry and could only take a couple of things," Charlotte told the seniors. "He took a few clothes, a portrait of his wife and, most importantly, the Torah. He then took a train to Holland, where his daughter was living."
All during the war, Hamburger hid in the Dutch underground, going from one farm to another.
"At one point he was hidden in the home of a Catholic priest for 18 months," Charlotte said. "In case you're wondering, yes, he kept the Torah with him all of those years."
Hamburger's daughter, her husband and their twins, a boy and girl, were not so fortunate. Captured by the Nazis in Holland, they all perished in Auschwitz.
After the war, Hamburger decided to stay in Holland, where he enjoyed ice skating, bicycling and riding his motorcycle. It's sadly ironic that after all he'd been through, he ended up being killed in a motorcycle crash in 1958 at the age of 75. After his death, his son, Siegfried, who was living in San Francisco, brought his father's belongings back to the Bay Area, including the Torah.
When Siegfried died, his son, Steven, gave it to Rabbi Jerry Winston, who led a small congregation in San Anselmo.
"In quite a coincidence, my parents were married by Rabbi Winston," Charlotte said. "And when I was 6 months old, he conducted a baby naming ceremony for me."
As she got older, Charlotte started studying for her bat mitzvah. About a year ago, her mother, Julie Ann Kodmur of St. Helena, thought it would be a wonderful connection to her family's history if the Holocaust Torah could be used for Charlotte's bat mitzvah. But she wasn't sure where it was.
As she began asking around, referring to it as "the lost Torah," she learned that before Rabbi Winston died, he'd given it to his friend, Sausalito Rabbi Alan Levinson, who still had it. When she asked him if her family could borrow it for Charlotte's bat mitzvah, Rabbi Levinson realized that it would be an incredible closing of a circle if the Torah was returned to the family that saved it.
"It's a big thing, not a little book," Charlotte's mother said. "That's one of the amazing things about my great-grandfather. For eight years, from 1938 to 1945, he took it from Dutch farm to Dutch farm where he was hidden. And he carried it with him the whole time. Imagine if it could talk."
As she approached her 13th birthday, Charlotte was studying for her bat mitzvah with Rabbi Jerry Levy of Tiburon, who leads the congregation at Alma Via. Because the assisted living center didn't have a Torah, Charlotte's family thought it best if the Torah be used by Alma Via, and for Charlotte's upcoming bat mitzvah.
"What a wonderful solution," Charlotte's mom said.
For Rabbi Levy, the Holocaust Torah is important to the family that saved it, but also as a symbol of something much larger.
"Every time a sacred scroll is saved, preserved and passed down," he said, "not only from community to community, but also from teacher to student, from father to son, all of those things represent the strength of Judaism."

Description Many years ago a team of hobbyists formed a group called "gm squared". We set out to make new inspired games but never reached our goal. More and more people dropped out because of lacking free time. 6 years ago we had a 3D Engine ready to build games upon. We even managed to put together a small game, but we considered it unfinished and imperfect. We never released it. Until now, when I found this gem on an old HDD of a no longer working PC.
It is a small and action packed game in 3D. First, you equip your gun turret with two weapons of your choice. As soon as you start the game, tanks are coming your way and try to hit your turret, so you have to be quicker and kill them first. You aim with mouse and shoot with the two mouse buttons. Kill multiple targets at once to get bonus points. If you score well enough you may even earn a highscore. It includes an instagib Mod and a "driving mode" Mod. You can even make your own mods by editing some textfile, which describe the game variables.
Here is a download ready for you, if you want to see more then just images: http://gm-squared.de/index.php?target=downloads Just one drawback - as our whole team were germans, everything is in german. If you cannot figure out our homepage, just use this direct link to the download: http://bit.ly/aAwPoW
Looks like it may be fun to play. Will download it later today and post my impressions.
I played it, the textures on the models are really nice, have to say that. It was actually quite fun judging the distances to hit the tanks. You probably could add a few more enemies add a few more bells and whistles and it could be a saleable game. Unless its dropped forever already tho...
Nice little game, had some fun playing it. The download (57mb) is a bit big, I think, but not a problem at all.
The download size is mainly due too the music and the huge terrain textures. But that should not be a big problem nowadays i guess.
The texture artist, who made that 6 years ago used those too apply for a job - at that worked out. Guess they liked those textures too. And as most member of the former team now have regular jobs, it is quite impossible to work further on the game and sell it.
I saw same people using google translate to browse our page. There might be one more interesting thing to find there, we made the sourcecode of the game logic available for download too: http://bit.ly/a0pAUn
Im working on texturing some models now myself, if I get anything like what you have here (most notably the main player turret) thatll be me happy.
Our graphican did not like the player turret to much, he made in in a hurry. The tank was much more detailed, but in that game you only see it from afar.
Nice. Not a bad game for spare time team. You got a lot more done than average.
The horizon looks kinda strange. Adding some white standard fog (a few lines of code probably) might make it look a lot better.
Now make a new multiplayer version
Yeah, you gotta aim for more rouncer... If you aim for stuff like this you will get a better result:
Theres my tank, probably not as good as your stuff in your game, but im happy with it.
The guy who made the turret didnt even like it? I must not judge graphics as harshly... all I think is if it looks like its representing the subject ok, it doesnt really need to be genius.
z80, im only doing old style models at this stage, i still think you could sell a game with them, if im wrong I guess im wrong and then ill move on, but I think just using textures at first is a good simplification cause I actually expect to get a proper game finished by the end of 2010.
So maybe keeping the technology simple (like direct x 8) is my idea.
Yeah, you're right. If the idea and the gameplay is good enough the eye candy will be secondary. Good luck with it Also there is no rule you have to go for photorealistic appearance. You could do some kind of cartoon style instead.

Vanderbilt and Tennessee renew a long-standing football rivalry for the 106th time, when the two teams face off in Nashville at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday evening.
It's been a long season for both squads; the Volunteers (4-6, 1-5 Southeastern Conference) have struggled most of the season with a young squad in the first year for coach Derek Dooley, but with wins in the last two weeks over Memphis and Ole Miss, they're in position to get to a bowl game if they can beat the Commodores, and then Kentucky next week.
Vanderbilt is battered and bruised physically with a number of starters out, in addition to the damage done to their pride after the 'Dores have lost their previous five games by an average of 30 points.
With that in mind, Commodore coach Robbie Caldwell has appealed to the pride of his players, knowing what a win over the Vols would mean for a VU fan base that's struggling to retain interest in this season.
"We're at that place where a win would just cure a lot of ailments that we have," Caldwell said.
There's not been much good news for the Commodores of late, but VU did learn this week that they'll likely have All-SEC linebacker Chris Marve and offensive lineman Joey Bailey back this week.
Marve missed most of last week's Kentucky game, which hurt a defense that's struggling to stop anyone right now. The 'Dores have consistently fielded quality defenses over the past few years, but between injuries and the fact that Vandy's offense averages just 26:02 in time of possession, they've slipped to 106th in total defense nationally.
It's even worse on offense, where the Commodores rank 115th in total offense and scoring offense, 120th in first downs, and 119th in third-down conversions.
On the bright side, senior tailback Kennard Reeves ran for 105 yards in helping VU gain 400 yards for the first time against an SEC opponent since the Nov. 10, 2007 game vs. Kentucky.
Vandy's also found encouragement in the play of a pair of talented freshman receivers. Jordan Matthews, who's now listed first on the depth chart after back-to-back games with garbage-time touchdowns against Florida and UK, and Jonathan Krause turned his four touches into 108 last week.
Tennessee has also found encouragement in the play of a pair of freshmen, quarterback Tyler Bray and Justin Hunter. Since wrestling the starting job away from Matt Simms two weeks ago, Bray has thrown for 648 yards, eight touchdowns, and no interceptions the past two weeks.
Hunter chipped in with 114 yards and two touchdown on three catches last week against Ole Miss.
Bray's top target, though, is emerging senior Denarius Moore, who has caught 16 balls for 419 yards and three scores in the last three games.
UT's Tauren Poole has also given the offense a big lift by rushing for at least 100 yards in six games, including three of his last four.
Like Vandy, though, the Vols have struggled on defense. They've given up over 400 yards on six occasions, and over 500 twice.
However, UT appears to be getting better there, holding Memphis to 308 yards, and Ole Miss, to 295.
Last week, Tennessee was aided by a pair of interception returns by Prentiss Waggner and Nashville native Eric Gordon. Wagner has returned all three of his interceptions for scores this season.
How Vanderbilt can win
While it's unlikely that the Commodores will win, it's not impossible. While the Vols have won two in a row, they did it against a pair of teams with awful defenses, and lost their first five SEC games, four of which came by 14 points or more.
As good as Bray has been in the last three weeks, he's also a freshman, and like most freshmen, he's prone to making mistakes. Bray has been criticized for throwing into coverage and "getting away" with a few bad throws, and so defensive backs like Casey Hayward will be on the spot.
Hayward is about the only player on Vandy's team who's had a great year, but even he's dropped a number of interceptions. With the VU offense struggling to do much, and the defense finding it hard to stop anyone, the Commodores must make good on every opportunity that Bray gives them.
Offensively, Vandy may actually have a chance to move the ball a bit this week against a Tennessee defense that's not very good. But they'll have to sustain a few drives, not make turnovers, and make some big plays.
The biggest two threats to do the latter are Krause and Matthews, which the staff has come to realize. This week, the key will be to get the ball into their hands more.
How Tennessee can win
The bad news is that, while UT racked up huge numbers against teams that aren't stopping anyone, VU's defense fits pretty well in that category as well. The Vols should not have a ton of trouble putting up points against a Commodore defense that's been porous against the pass and the run.
Poole should be able to run well against VU, so the key offensively will be for Bray not to commit turnovers. If they can do that, and keep Krause or Matthews from busting a number of big plays, it's likely that UT wins.
Final analysis and prediction
Caldwell has tried to motivate this team by reminding them that it's UT week, and frankly, VU has appeared to be a team that has lacked motivation for a good part of the last month.
But even if the 'Dores are properly motivated, and even though the Vols are far from world-beaters themselves, it will probably take VU's best performance since the 2008 Music City Bowl to win.
When it comes down to it, there are a lot of broken things on both teams right now. Dooley has found a way to fix some of those things for UT, while Caldwell hasn't been able to do the same. Given that it's game 11, it's hard to imagine it happening now.
Prediction: (8-2, 7-3 vs. the spread): Tennessee 38, Vanderbilt 17

Best Practise: Determine behaviour when form closes
I have a form (frmSubmitterAdmin) and depending on how the form was called, I want different things to happen when the form is closed e.g. if the form was called from a button on the main menu, I want the form to close and the main menu to be re-opened but if the form was called from a double click action on a field on the form frmRegisterClaim, I want it to update that field on frmRegisterClaim with the value of the corresponding field on frmSubmitterAdmin.
Here is how I have accomplished this, but what I want to know is if there is a better way to accomplish the same effect.
On click event of button on main menu:
Private Sub btSubmitterAdmin_Click()
On Error GoTo btSubmitterAdmin_Click_Err TempVars.Add "tvarNewSubmitter", 0 TempVars.Add "tvarSubmitterMenu", "frmAdminDashboard" DoCmd.Close , "" DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSubmitterAdmin", acNormal, "", "", , acNormal btSubmitterAdmin_Click_Exit: Exit Sub btSubmitterAdmin_Click_Err: MsgBox Error$ Resume btSubmitterAdmin_Click_Exit End Sub
Private Sub lutClaimSubmitter_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) On Error GoTo lutClaimSubmitter_DblClick_Err TempVars.Add "tvarSubmitterMenu", "frmRegisterClaim" If Me.lutClaimSubmitter = 1 Then DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSubmitterAdmin", acNormal, "", "", , acNormal Else Dim SubmitterID As Integer SubmitterID = Me.lutClaimSubmitter DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSubmitterAdmin", , , "intSubmitterID =" & SubmitterID End If lutClaimSubmitter_DblClick_Exit: Exit Sub lutClaimSubmitter_DblClick_Err: MsgBox Error$ Resume lutClaimSubmitter_DblClick_Exit End Sub
Private Sub Form_Close() Select Case TempVars!tvarSubmitterMenu Case "frmAdminDashboard" DoCmd.Close , "" DoCmd.OpenForm "frmAdminDasboard", acNormal, "", "", , acNormal Case "frmRegisterClaim" Forms!frmRegisterClaim.lutClaimSubmitter.Value = intSubmitterID.Value DoCmd.Close , "" Case Else End Select End Sub

This seems reasonable. I use a similar method, except I use a global variable since I've used the technique long before we had TempVars. So my open statement would look like this:
gReturnToFormname = me.name
docmd.minimize 'Note: I generally do this, because when I come back to this form, I want to come back to a specific place in it.
docmd.openform "frmWhatever"
When frmWhatever opens, I do this:
glocReturnToFormname = gReturnToFormName 'Note: glocReturnToFormname is at form-level variable
gReturnToFormname = ""
The advantage of this is that I can have an unlimited number forms that open (and can even stay open) and as each closes it knows which form to go back to since each has its own glocReturnToFormname. This could be a weakness in your method as you can really only open the single form. For example, on a search screen the user can double-click to open a customer record. On that screen, the user can double-click to open a screen for a particular property address. On the property screen, a double-click can open a specific Work Order. I can easily go up and down this "tree" and not lose my place.Mark Liquorman

How to Transfer a Car Title in California
Changing ownership of any vehicle requires a transfer of title in California. To transfer a title:
- Seller must complete the appropriate sections on the title.
- Vehicle must pass a smog check, unless exempt.
- Buyer must provide the ownership documents to the CA DMV.
- Buyer visits the local DMV office.
- Buyer pays the $15 vehicle title transfer fee and taxes within 30 days.
- For more details, please continue reading.
Buying a California Vehicle
Buying From a Dealer
Car dealerships take care of all the fees and paperwork required when purchasing a vehicle. As the buyer of the vehicle, it is your responsibility to know your Car Buyer's Bill of Rights and make sure the contract, purchase price, and additional costs are all correct before you take the vehicle home.
Buying From a Private Individual
- Make sure the seller has filled out the title.
- Verify there is no lienholder, or that the lienholder has signed off on the car title.
- Verify the mileage on the title or on the Vehicle Vessel Transfer Form (REG 262), if the title has no field for an odometer reading.
- Complete a smog check.
- Pay the $15 vehicle title transfer fee and all use tax fees to the CA DMV within 30 days of the purchase date (failure to do so will result in penalties).
Notify the CA DMV you have purchased a vehicle within 5 days of taking possession.
Selling a Vehicle
- Provide the title of the vehicle, making sure to sign it (if you do not have the title, apply for a duplicate title).
- Have the lienholder sign the title, if applicable.
- Fill out the odometer reading if the vehicle is less than 10 years old (must be verified by the buyer), If there is no space for the odometer reading on the title you will need to complete and submit a Vehicle/Vessel Title Transfer Form (REG 262) (this form is printed on security paper and is only available at CA DMV offices, or by calling (800) 777-0133.
- Provide smog check certification, if applicable. The certification must be current; it cannot be older than 90 days.
- The buyer must sign the title and all other applicable documents.
- Submit a Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability form REG 138 within 5 days of the sale date. If you're up against the clock, use the online form.
Bill of Sale
If you don't need to verify the odometer reading during the sale of the vehicle, use a Bill of Sale (REG 135) instead of the Vehicle Vessel Transfer Form (REG 262). After completing, give the original to the buyer and make a copy for yourself.
If, however, if you are required to report the mileage, you must complete the Vehicle Vessel Transfer Form (REG 262) if the title does not provide a place to report it. This serves as an odometer disclosure form, bill of sale, and power of attorney. This form cannot be downloaded. You can get it from any CA DMV office. Or, have the form mailed to you by calling (800) 777-0133.
Transferring a Vehicle as a Gift
You may decide to give your vehicle away instead of selling it. These types of gifts fall into two different categories:
- Family or Inheritance
- Gifts or Donations
The transfer process is very similar to selling a California vehicle (see above), with minor differences for each process.
NOTE: You cannot transfer a vehicle to a family member or trust until you've paid all parking/toll violations that have been reported to the California DMV.
Family or Inheritance
You can transfer your vehicle to family members without providing a smog test or paying the use tax. Family members who qualify (including step, half, and adopted family members) are:
- Parents
- Children
- Grandparents
- Grandchildren
- Spouses
- Siblings (smog certification may be required if a smog test is due)
- Domestic partners
All other family members must follow the steps outlined in the Gifts or Donations section below.
To transfer the title to a family member:
- Provide the title of the vehicle, making sure to sign it (if you don't have the title, apply for a duplicate title).
- Have the lienholder, if applicable, sign off on the title. This allows the sale of the vehicle.
- Complete the odometer reading if the vehicle is less than 10 years old (must be verified by the buyer). If there is no space for the odometer reading, complete a and submit a Vehicle/Vessel Transfer (REG 262). This form is unavailable online. Grab it from any CA DMV office, or call (800) 777-0133 to have it mailed to you.
- Have the buyer, which in this case is the recipient of the vehicle, sign the title.
- Complete the Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability (REG 138) within 5 days of the title transfer date.
Gift or Donation
To make a gift or donation, follow the same steps described directly above when transferring to a family member. The lone difference being you may need to provide smog certification. The certification must be current, no older than 90 days.
Depending on the organization, you may be eligible for a tax exemption for the value of the vehicle. Ask the charitable organization for documentation of the donation.
Receiving a Vehicle as a Gift
Whenever you receive a vehicle from a family member, both the use tax and the smog test can be waived. See the Family or Inheritance section (above) for a list of family members who are eligible for family transfers.
If you are not a family member, you can still receive a vehicle as a gift and have the use tax waived. You will, however, still need to get a smog certification.
Receiving a Vehicle from a Family Member
When receiving a vehicle from a family member:
- Make sure the seller (the person giving you the vehicle) has filled out the title properly.
- Verify there is no lienholder, or that the lienholder has signed off on the title.
- Sign the title.
- Verify the mileage and the odometer disclosure statement, if applicable.
- Complete a smog check, if applicable. In some instances, adult siblings transferring a vehicle may be required to complete an emissions certification.
- Submit a completed Statement of Facts (REG 256) for use tax and smog waivers.
- Pay the $8 smog transfer fee (part of the smog check process.)
- Pay the $15 title transfer fee (when submitting all the paperwork at the DMV.)
You have 5 days from the sale date to submit the transfer fees to the CA DMV.
Receiving a Vehicle as a Gift or Donation
When receiving a gifted vehicle:
- Make sure the seller (the giver, in this situation) has completed the title.
- Confirm there's no existing lienholder, or that the lienholder has signed off on the title.
- Sign the title on the designated buyer line.
- Verify the mileage and the odometer disclosure statement, if required.
- Complete a Statement of Facts, indicating the current value of the vehicle.
- Complete a smog certification.
- Submit a Statement of Facts (REG 256). This form is required for a use tax waiver.
- Pay the $15 transfer fee.
You must submit the transfer fees to the CA DMV within 5 days of transfer date.
Removing a Lien From a CA Vehicle
When all the payments have been made on your vehicle, the lienholder will mail you a signed vehicle title.
Within 30 days of receiving the title, send it to the DMV, along with a $15 transfer fee, to get a new title issued in your name. Mail to:
- Department of Motor Vehicles
- Vehicle Registration Operations
- P.O. Box 942869
- Sacramento, CA 94269
Lost Title
Can't find your car title? You'll need it to transfer your vehicle. Visit our Replacing a Lost Title page for step-by-step information on how to order a new one.
California Smog Certification
Need a smog check? Or are you unsure whether your county requires smog certification? Check out our Smog & Emission Checks page for the full scoop.
California Title Name Corrections
California law requires your correct legal name on your vehicle title. You must update your title if your name has changed for any reason, or the name on the title is incorrect.
If you have your title:
- Update your vehicle's title by writing the new or corrected name in the "New Registered Owner" section.
- Fill out a Statement of Facts (REG 256) as to why the name has changed or needs to be corrected.
- Submit both documents to your local CA DMV office.
If a lienholder has the title:
- Submit a Statement of Facts (REG 256) to the lienholder.
- Instruct the lienholder to send the Statement of Facts to the CA DMV.
CA Title and Registration Fees
