  1. I'd like to have one. The problem is that it seems that most of the moderators are in some form of broken. And I'm too busy to do it all myself. If you'd like to help out, reply here or PM me. I assume CC.com could pay the reservation fee for the shelter, and maybe some supply costs? Tasks would include: -setting time/date (my vote is for Thurs May 3 or 10) -contacting the city to reserve a shelter -AV / power / slides stuff -charcoal for grill, condiments, plates, etc. -making a poster -advertising
  2. Awesome, Daniel's a great guy. Thanks for reminding me to email him again. When we were on top of Ruth Mountain, he was like, "Something's missing here... where's the biergarten and the telepherique?" in his classic satirical voice.
  3. Why is the Westside Road having such limited open times? Because there's construction on it during other times?

  5. Those would be pictures taken by other people, not pictures taken by me.
  6. I finally got around to making a website: http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/gyngve/photos.html
  7. Yeah, they make sure that they themselves don't get hurt, and that bystanders don't get hurt. But if there's a closed room where gunshots came from, I don't think they go inside until they're sure a gun is not going to be used on them too.
  8. I assume the media left out a step here? Like I'd expect some cops to show up and take care of scene safety before the FD went in?
  9. You can park your car at the TH for multiple days and all you need is a forest pass. If a ranger encounters you back there camping or with overnight gear, you might be in some trouble. If you're camping up high like AJ suggests, I think that's a great way to go -- that's what I originally referred to with linking via ridges. If I were thinking of camping near the Stuart/Colchuck trail junction (you could get busted there), I'd just go back to the car (2.5 miles of flats x2 is nothing).
  10. You'll need a permit for the Colchuck Lake too. If you're doing both NR Stuart and Backbone Dtail in a day each, just car-to-car them both -- it's just a few extra miles of flats. That way you don't need to carry overnight gear, and you don't have to lug the big cam for Dtail up Stuart as well.
  11. What routes on Dtail and Stuey? If you're trying to link the two via the ridges and are bivying up there, you do not need a permit. Stuart Lake requires a permit. The advance permits were done around Feb/Mar. If you opt for a walk-in permit, you need to be at the ranger station at like 7:45 AM (yes, that ruins your alpine start).
  12. Maybe they got rejected from Jerry Springer?
  13. That's right. I am not in Information Technology. I am in Computer Science. Now where's the IT guy to tell me why my computer crashes when I open Windows Media Player?
  14. I am not an it.
  15. I'm pretty happy I didn't fall into a crevasse today.
  16. Married professor dude having affair with student? What do you think? We need to speculate without any knowledge of what's going on, just as we do with any mountain accident.
  17. We need to pass a law requiring PLBs before 9AM on UW campus! This incident could have been prevented!

    I wouldn't be too concerned about slightly limited ROM just after the injury. Your body initiated an inflammatory response. It sounds like the limb is usable, so I'd HI-RICE it and take it easy. Starting tomorrow or the day after, I'd work on stretching it to full ROM. If it's not getting better, go to a doctor. An x-ray will tell if bones are broken, but they may not be able to tell about soft tissue damage until swelling goes down. Hydration Ibuprofen (max 2400 mg a day, antiinflammatories still kick in even after pain supression is successful) Rest Ice Compression Elevation (I am not a doctor)
  21. what did i miss in the past few days? please put the memo on my desk by 2 PM.
  22. Do people need to carry batteries too?
  23. I don't know how it works for them. Or if they're running into issues with party sizes. But they were there, selling their case.
