I've taken the WFR and WFR recert from the Remote Medical folks -- they do a very good job and you spend a lot of time on scenarios

Marmot Mountain Works in Bellevue would be my recommendation.

Given the headlamp discussion, this is somewhat apropos. Basically, don't use rechargeable batteries in your Petzl Myo headlamp if it was manufactured before June of 2008 as there is a risk of melting and/or fire.
More details at the Petzl website .

What the hell has this forum turned into? Pay it forward?

I'm not sure the suspension in those things can handle the vigorous cobbler munching that will undoubtedly ensue.

Get a room you two... or a tent... or some place secluded behind a boulder...

Yes, I can see the spaces just fine in the Approach Notes

Since the upgrade the "Gear Notes" and "Approach Notes" have been messed up. It seems all new TRs have both of those sections stripped of whitespace. Looks like this:
Gear Notes:

Hey, it can't rain forever
Nope, it cannot. Kudos on the GF front

And I guess rc.com is having the same debate... and coming to the same conclusions.

They are copies of "real" cams made in China and being sold by scammers attempting to cash in on the lucrative US market of too many fools with too much money.
Interesting... where'd you find that tidbit?

I'm an expert on Mercedes, because I can see a dealership from my house!
I'm an expert on Mercedes 'cause this one time in Tijuana I met a hooker by that name and... oh wait, this isn't "Dear Penthouse", is it?

What the hell? I was working myself into a libtard self-rightous frenzy. Why do you have to go and ruin it for me?
Well, it seems the rest of life has recently been pissing on your parade, so I thought I'd join in...

i will not vote, no, period. again, i am not going to force my beliefs on anyone. if i vote for it, i am going against my beliefs, but if i vote against it i am trying to force them on others.
You will vote no? How is that NOT forcing your beliefs on gays?
Rob, I think he said he would abstain from voting, since siding with it one way or the other would violate his beliefs.

It is deferred prosecution. You admit to guilt, but they don't put it on your record if you don't get another ticket for a year. If you do get a subsequent ticket within the one-year period, then you get dinged for the one that was deferred as well. I believe WA state law states that you can do deferred prosecution once every seven years.

U.S. Rock Gear is a Ukrainian outfit as well? Or are you referring to gear4rocks?
-
And for those of you wondering what the hell a Crack N'up is (like I was), this article talks about them a little along with all sorts of other esoteric pieces. The last pic of the article probably puts even the most inveterate CC.com gear whore's closet to shame.

And it appears that the bailout deal is off, at least for now.
-
Sure, plus the $85 billion for AIG, plus Fannie/Freddie, plus the auto industry... still way the fuck too much money. And in a couple of months it will be more money. It will be like the Iraq war -- one unplanned funding request after the next. All of them approved, with pork thrown in for everyone around -- exec pay caps, extended unemployment benefits, tax credits for this or that...
In a totalitarian system at least I know I have no say. In this system I supposedly have a say, but it makes no difference either way... Sometimes makes me yearn for an enlightened despot. If only there was a good way to test for the "enlightened" part before letting them run things.
-
No, actually it is looking like he will get the $700 billion, or something close to that. Sure, they'll gild the turd by capping executive salaries and installing some "congressional oversight"... and maybe throwing some foreclosed-upon homeowners a bone, and that will be it.
It has been made abundantly clear that there will be some form of rescue package by this weekend -- after all, everyone needs to run home and campaign for their seats, so why debate this any longer. Have no doubt, there will be a shitload of money spent as a result of that bailout.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but revealing/bragging/outing bro-deal codes/savings/etc. is the single best way to have the deal jerked from you. Why would you want to do something stoopid like that?
Oh, I don't know that it is the best way... you could always wander in to a retail location, try on a bunch of stuff and then loudly brag that you won't be paying these prices because your organization XYZ has a pro deal. That would get you swiftly booted as well.
Having said that, yes, farming out your pro deal access is definitely a very good way of getting placed on the vendor's shit list.

Why must those be our only two choices? That's like being given a choice of being kicked in the left ass cheek or the right one. Waste is waste, at home or abroad, and we're in a situation where we can ill afford to keep doing just that...
