to all my republican friends. Of course fox news says otherwise. And you can’t trust the govt. stats says some(although you trust them enough to start wars) – but really, show me some stat to prove otherwise for Gov Romney and his stats in MASS.

WSBKeymasterThe information DBP cites has been in our previous coverage. It’s from a Parks document quoted verbatim in our first story (last blue-highlighted section, near the bottom):
Treetop ziplining at Lincoln Park? City mulls commercial partnership
As for speculation about who will build the course: A French company has built every course Go Ape has opened, both in the UK and the three in the U.S. See section #5 of this document developed for a U.S. proposal that did not go through (among other sources I’ll be citing in the next story).
http://media.hillsandheights.com.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Go_Ape_Proposal.pdf
The jobs are elaborated on in that proposal as 2 FT, up to 12 PT.
There is no specific proposed design for Seattle yet. However, a multitude of other materials I’m finding, including more documents by Go Ape itself, indicate the courses are all from the same template. The company founder told an interviewer: “he and his team can now ‘roll out Go Ape courses in our sleep’…”

Spring ChickenMemberI’m confused as to what you mean by “dressdown” because my comment was not personal or abusive. ALL IN CAPS is similar in appearance to

sales in various places, which you asked us to report if we see again because that one turned out to be a business posing as a garage sale
… sorry TR.

miwsParticipantI just checked the Pets Page, to see if you’d notified the Editor, and you have.
In seeing Mozy‘s pic, my heart broke and melted at the same time.
That Cute Puppy Head Tilt gets me every time! ;-)
I hope that you and Mozy are soon, and safely reunited, and please keep us posted.

miwsParticipantFurry Kids, were all of the keys on the ring, when you got them back?
The reason I ask, is that WSB’er, (and chocolate lover) ;-) “happy hour”, posted this, last evening:

These keys, lost on Beach Dr, were reunited with their owner:

I wonder if the one you found, might belong to the same person, and it just strayed away from its buddies?

WSBKeymasterSonoma:
Since this has not been publicly announced – we found out about it thanks to a tipster – and since the Parks point person for partnerships is on vacation until after next week, I don’t have official information on chain of comments. BUT whether someone is against it, for it, or has something else to say about it, here is a list of key people:
Treetop ziplining at Lincoln Park? City mulls commercial partnership
As for spearheading, while I have heard from many concerned people, I don’t know that anyone has yet emerged as an organizer or leader. Friends of Lincoln Park is a volunteer group that does park cleanups and does not have meetings. The park does not have its own advisory council.
Also to be clear about July 18th, this is the first scheduled public meeting right now at which this has appeared on the agenda, though I would expect there to be other presentations. When I worked on the story on Thursday, I contacted the two closest community councils, which do have regular meetings, and asked if either had heard about this. While the Fauntleroy Community Association – whose neighborhood includes Lincoln Park – had not been contacted, the Morgan Community Association – whose jurisdiction is just north of the park – had, and president Deb Barker told me they had a presentation scheduled as part of their quarterly meeting on July 18th. (7 pm, The Kenney) – because Parks had contacted her and asked to be on the agenda.
This is how “public engagement” usually happens with proposals – the departments get on community associations’ agendas (which is why we continue to urge people to be involved with community associations – you might not think you care about what your community association does, but city/county/state government considers it to be representing you, and considers that if it has made a presentation about something to your nearest neighborhood association, it has done its due diligence in informing/consulting you).
Anyway, this is going to be a tough week to reach anyone in government (and much of the private sector) with the midweek holiday leading many to take the entire week off, but we’ll be following up too.

June 25, 2012 at 1:45 am #761788June 25, 2012 at 1:12 am #761785miwsParticipantSorry this happened to you Marla, and that your little became a victim of the not so nice people in our world, at such a young age.
Did you report the theft to the police?
If not, you can file a report online, here. (You’ll need to create a User Account).
As far as posting pics WSB Forum Member DP/DBP, could probably help you with that.
Good luck.

SueParticipantafrikando, I’m also a member of Snap. One of the things I love about it is that it’s never packed. I have been a member since they opened and have never had to wait for a cardio machine. I don’t think I’ve ever seen more than a dozen people in there at once. And many times I’ve been the only person, or one of two people. I will say though that I have had my membership on hold for the past 3 months due to an injury ($5/month for a hold instead of your fee), so if this has changed in the past few months, I hope someone will correct me.
I believe they offer a free week pass so you can check it out at the times you’d go. This is the page with pricing: https://www.snapfitness.com/seattlewest/memberships – I love that they don’t hide it and make you come in for the hardsell.

miwsParticipantI hope that freerange doesn’t mind me heading off onto a related tangent, but a question for everyone; If you were in the market for, and had the budget for, glass art, are you gonna go with the admittedly local, but world renowned Dale Chihuly, or the very local, soon to be renowned, West Seattelite, 2 Much Whine?

redblackParticipantyou need to look up the standardized testing thing. i have, and there’s a WSB forum thread about who writes and scores the tests here. teach-to-the-test scoring affects the rankings, school competition, and the appearance of effectiveness. it’s a matter of perspective, and these testing corporations are setting the lens. it might have been supported by the unions at some point, but it isn’t anymore. teachers are frustrated by teach-to-the-test and the talk of basing merit pay on those tests, because people learn in different ways and at different paces.
oh, and over 90% of kids in america attend public school. you guys need a bigger infrastructure.
June 15, 2012 at 8:39 pm #603618funkietooParticipantI was at Kitty Harbor last night and just amazed at all the beautiful, wonderful cats and kittens they have available for adoption this weekend!
