So the story goes, I met this great Canadian girl, next thing I know I'm putting a ring on her finger in Lynn Canyon Park, I lost the proverbial coin flip on where we were going to live, Seattle or Vancouver (I don't consider it much of a loss really), and now I need to find a job in the Vancouver area. If there are any web developers out there who work in Vancouver, or you know anyone who is, or your company is looking for developers, I'd love to hear for you. I'm not networked up here, the economy kind of sucks, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Drop me a PM and I'll give you the lowdown. Thanks!

I'll change it to onclick tonight thanks for raising the issue.

Due to a failure to nest this year, the seasonal climbing closure on Midnight and Noontime Rocks is being lifted. The closure normally runs from April 1 through July 31. We appreciate those climbers who get their climbs in early and refrain during the closure while it's in place. We hope for better reproductive results next year. Climb on!

Well they paid $135m for combined revenues of $113m, so do the math.

Going through Analytics I noticed that there are about 4% of you still using IE 6 and 10% using IE7. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE upgrade your browser to IE8, Firefox, or Chrome. It will result in a better experience for you. As a web developer, we spend an a lot of time trying to support and test for IE and it sucks. Over the course of the next six months we will be doing some substantial upgrades to cc.com that will use a lot of javascript. Due to costs supporting IE 6 and 7 will not be a priority, so please upgrade! Thanks for hearing me out

Have fun with your little girly computer, Tvash!

The injury played out for about 18 months and just got increasingly worse and was to the point were it was sore 24x7, by the time I saw a specialist it was substantial and clear with the test. Sounds like you have done your homework, so you probably already know that the surgery recovery is substantial.

Sounds like a SLAP tear. Having just had my shoulder done I would say go see a specialist. Google "SLAP tear test" and see if you can find a video. Basically if you have your arm straight in front slightly across your body with your thumb pointed up, and can push against resistance thumb up but not thumb down, it's a labrum tear.

From the Forest Service Biologist.... Raptor nesting has been observed at the north end of the Snow Creek Wall. To protect these birds and climbers from the raptors’ aggressive behavior, Champagne, Spring Fever, and Chicken on a Leash are closed to all entry during the nesting period. Climbs on the Main Wall/Shield and Central areas, Easter Tower, and April Fool’s Tower remain open. If climbers experience aggressive behavior from raptors while on Easter or April Fool's tower, routes on those pinnacles will be closed for the safety of all involved. Climbers are not the only creatures drawn to Leavenworth’s rock faces. The walls are also crucial breeding areas for birds of prey. They are sensitive to human disturbance during their nesting and roosting cycle. People who stray too close to a nest can scare off parent birds or elicit an attack. Even if the nest is not abandoned, disturbance can cause nest failure. Eggs need to be constantly incubated so they do not become too hot or cold. Newly hatched raptors cannot regulate their own body temperature and frightened juvenile birds may attempt to fly before they are ready. It is critical that everyone abides by posted seasonal closures in order to protect the birds. Thank you!

Fairweather, does this mean you aren't riding your bike anymore to train? http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/379810/Re_Cycling_vs_Running#Post379810

I remember my 4th birthday party at McDonalds a few days after, it was pretty "foggy" out and people were cleaning the windows.

Christian Peterson at The Sports Medicine clinic did my shoulder last week for a SLAP tear and a loose body. I can't say enough good things about him, friendly, to the point, efficient, both him and his nurse are highly competent, and were always on time. Mike Rogers at Paragon Fitness for PT. Mike is long time competitive athlete, coach, and understands athletes. Anyone needing a foot guy Tom Chi in Bellevue might be the best doctor that's treated me, I've seen the "best", and I work with physicians on a daily basis.

Dru I haven't watched Dragons Den recently was this a good deal? Would Kevin have put his soldiers in play?

I'm pleased to announce that we have partnered up with the American Foundation for Children with AIDS to help them promote The Climb Up So Kids Can Grow Up. The Foundation lends support to the childhood AIDS pandemic in sub-saharan Africa in the form of medical care. Like our support with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, we will be providing free advertising to this important organization. http://www.helpchildrenwithaids.org/ http://www.climbupsokidscangrowup.com/ Having worked in AIDS research the last 12 years I cannot overstate the amount of human suffering that is occurring in sub-saharan Africa due to AIDS, Kaposi Sarcoma, and KS associated lymphoproliferative disorders. There are regions were the HIV rate is over 50% and villages were the KS rate is 90%. The hospitals are so poor that people who can afford chemotherapy treatment sit in the hospital without any nursing care because the hospital can't afford latex gloves. These pathogens are evolving and are becoming increasingly aggressive in young children. We'll be posting more information about this great organization in the near future.

The camera is nice because it can take a beating. I have a hard time getting pictures I like with this though under harder light conditions. The shutter lag is fucking terrible. The flash is unpredictable. It's great for the beach, but when your hands are freezing the lag will make you want to put pick through it. Before this one I had a Nikon S210 which I got at Costco for $100 and it was awesome. Great pictures in all light with no shutter lag. Not the most durable though and broke with pretty small drop. I just wanted to follow up with this and say I would not buy the Olympus as a primary compact camera. Another ding I discovered is that they have their own size media.

Him. I appreciate you sticking up for Luke.

This is a friendly reminder that there is no spray allowed in the climbing partner forum.

What?
