Question: are you talking about on the hair part or the sticky? If it's in the hair, try scraping, smoothing, and spreading it over a large area of the skin. Helps prevent balling anyways. If there's a whole mess of it, try laying a layer of grocery bag paper on the hair and gently ironing. The wax melts, the paper soaks it up. If you talking about in the adhesive and it's preventing your skins from sticking, I'd guess regluing. Yuck. Good luck. dave

http://wenatchee.craigslist.org/vac/1006004776.html Honestly, I'm not sure you're going to find it. Sorta like asking for a cheap place in Tahoe. I guess there could be a board reader who's cut you a deal on their place. There's a place in Cashmere for ~$50 a night. Pretty cheap. I stayed there acouple of nights and didn't mind it, but that might not be saying much... http://www.cashmerevillageinn.com/ You might try and finagle a five night rate that "another hotel offered you" good luck

I think this was the guy. Good guy, bad plan.

I don't want to sound like a pessimist, but I think a new gym in bellingham would fail. I worked for a guy in '98 that built the gym on cormwall. It lasted for about a year (with little activity). It's now much more sucsesful as a revival gospel mission. I love the Y. Beyond a wall and weights (see comment below), it's got aerobic machines, sauna, racquetball, hoops, yoga and fitness programs, parking, and a kick-ass clientele. I'd get old of listening to climbers at a climbing gym real quick. I'd rather hear a drunk talk about needing to catch the bus than some dick climber spray about cc.com. A note about weights: seems like many climbing gyms think a bench, a universal machine, and some free weights constitute a good weight room. Wrong. Check the y: they've got over 30 different stations, and they're still adding things. Way better workout. As noted above, the Y and wwu walls don't stay up because they bring in the revenue, they stay up because they're subsidized as part of larger programs. Again, I don't want to sound like an ass, I just think this project wouldn't fly as you've presented it. If you're still interested in this project, I think it would be wise to analyze the previous walls in the ham that have failed (the one on cormwall, the leading edge, etc) and create a business model that dodges these. Maybe a private club in your enlarged garage w/ minimal facilities? Think outside the box! Good luck in future endeavors. Dave

Try googling.... serpentine dihedral... I'm not sure about "serpentine dihedral" or "josephine crag", but i do know there's a pretty awesome looking climb up there, 5.9+? 2-3 pitches? but I con't remember where I got this info.. i also stole this photo from someone...

just for shits...

Fourth grade in... can't remeber her name but she was a BIATCH! THe principal was all worked up about it and there was much grumbling between the taqchers about how to break the news. I thikn most of the adults were way more worked up than the kids. It's interesting that for (relatively) how few shuttle flights there have been, there have also been two catostrophic failures. Going into space is dangerous! I can't imagine what it was like for the flight engineers to watch those events go down. Nova has an awesome program about the second shuttle breakup. 50 minutes with lots of amazing telescopic footage (not to be morbid) and analysis of the "NASA culture". http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/columbia/program.html

I'm not encouraging that, in fact, I (honestly) care ZERO about what happens there (I don't even know where TROUTDALE is, let alone the Boroughs...) It just seems like bypassing the land manager is akin to vigialantiasm. It is public property. IF WE DON"T HAVE THE SYSTEM, WE'VE GOT NOTHING (I'm joking about that last bit!) Overall, I'd image most climbers would prefer to take care of this matter "in house"....

It's interesting no one has mentioned the land manager/owner. Isn't this state park territory? Seems like it's their choice (and I'd ASSUME they wouldn't like people installing bolts w/o permission)

As an ed person, I talk alot about this kind of thing (not trying to establish authority, just commiserating on drivel). 1. Take it as a lesson on how to do the stupid shit you're forced to do in order to get to where you want to go. It seems life is full of these "challenges". 2. Your lit class could be just a context to develop other skills: writing, critical, qualitative analysis (outside of a quantitative field like the sciences), sucking up, etc. 3. Someone mentioned schools of engineering above. They;re right: they don't focus on "liberal arts" stuff and the people that come out of those schools show it! NERDS. I'm hearing alot (in the ed circles) about employers looking for "whole" people. Just know there are many others out there suffering with you. Now get back to it!

Not exactly the forum to get a decent answer on this one.

http://www.bellinghamherald.com/255/story/745809.html http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/cfootball/395309_western09.html Seems like a pretty gutsy move to me. I'm a fan of football and all, but I like academics better.

whoh.

Somebody posted a wsdot link above, but here's some more for the lazy surfers: wsdot's "Storm Jan 2009" flikr page HWY 530: Hwy 20 I like the guardrail... White Pass "Yeah, your gun'a need to turn all those semis around and..." Hwy 542 three words: carbide tip chain

Even better: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7814913.stm

My suggestion: [img:left]http://myweb.students.wwu.edu/~brannod/eliminatingtreesgodscursetoearth.jpg[/img] Plants are the other species. It only a matter of time before they rise up and try to take their nucleatoids back.

No shit. That drives me nuts. Next time I'm there and someone asks me if I'm member, I'm going to ask them to "guess how many times I've been asked that?" I guess they probably know it absurd, too. It's annoying in the same way "flair" from Office Space is annoying: All of the sudden, you realize you're being sold by some freshman at Western that is "really into trail running and the YMCA rockwall." Die punk!

1. I have a Jaco album. I listen to it every now and then. 2. I like his playing, but 3. the music he chooses to play detracts from the expereince (Buckethead guy: yeah, thats amazing, but obnoxious to listen to)

I'm a regular bike commuter. I'm pro bike fees. I don't know how to do it, but I'm into users contributing to infrastructure. I always imagine the tax would bikes more into the process. I also forget how lazy most americans urbanites are. MOst people would probably just get rid of their bikes. Edit for clarification: 1. Items two and three are contradictory. I'm pro taxation (although I think we already pay our share in property and sales taxes), but I also realize that taxing bikes would probably get less people riding. Not goood. 2. When I say "urbanites are lazy", I'm obviously generalizing that they are more absorbed in the assessories of life (going ot the gym, working out, going out at night) and unwilling to exert effort to live. I'm not talking about fitness or health. I'm talking about fixing their own cars, cutting their own grass, doing their own maintainance, etc. Perfect example: farmers.

If you rick james'ed me I was going to freak out!

Hey marc: You want to stop acting like a fucking moron and cut that shit out. You just caused me some serious stress during finals. FYI: I appreciate the rest of your contibutions (nice work!), just this one is an error in you judgement. Thanks dave

I just wanted to drop a line. I almost made a reply in the forums asking them not to, but then I passed. Can anyone do something about this "rick rolled" shit. I just lost an hour of revisions on my paper when I had to shut down mozilla. It's fucking bullshit. These are just like viruses (causing harm to my computer and my productivity). The only way I can see people avoiding this problem is not following any links on the board, which makes the place real boring. If you think about it for a while, it's probably not the type of thing that's going to make people want to stick around. I'm honestly not threatening to not come to cc.com (like you really care about my visits), I'm just trying to point out why you might want to curb this shit. Thanks, dave

Something that hasn't been mentioned: I only want to have one pair of tools and crampons. It's part style, part finances, and part ethics (too many toys = wasteful), part practical. Leashless just aren't going to cut it for a glacier tool, a reality of many cascades ice climbs. I'd assume monos don't cut it as well on cruddy some ice/thick snow (anybody weigh in on this?) My vote: leashed. duals. Keep your nuts square when you unclip the leashes.

Starting a discussion about Make Your Day with a group of educators is sure to bring out some... contention. I work in a classroom that uses Make Your Day. My take on the program: + Encourages kids to make self assessment regarding behavior. + Is progresssive in that small infractions merit small adjustments, large infraction merit large adjustments. + Emphasizes learning fundamentally what constitues appropriate behavior, rather than learnig a lst of rules. - effectiveness depends heavily of teachers committing to and consistently implementing program - is another "program" teachers (and students!) must attend to.

This is an incorrect statement. This is a rude statement.
