    Seattle Area Get Together July '09

    Just checking in to confirm that I'll be there....won't be bringing anything impressive, but I'll be there anyway. I did just go to the 'wiki' page and it has been defaced again (with spam, of course.) Can someone post the location address to this thread sometime today...or at least before the...

    Seattle Area Get Together July '09

    I'm good to go for the 11th, if that works for most of the rest of you. And while things are a little tight money-wise at the moment, I'm sure FlashlightNews can contribute something to the property owners (cash or lights or a combination of the two) in return for making the location available...

    Seattle area get together....

    I'll be there...as long as the snow holds on the passes and the car doesn't give me any issues (it never has...so what am I worried about?) I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the folks I met last summer, and also looking forward to meeting some of those who didn't have a chance to make it...

    Seattle area get together....

    I just became aware of this thread and just wanted to say 'I'll be there!!!'. OK...wait...I guess I have more to say than just that. I kind of like the idea of having two get-togethers if possible. Perhaps the Magnuson Park date as a one day style event, and then in late summer we could try to...

    Northwest/Washington Get-Together?

    You're right, GreenLED...so here are the four (that's right, just four) of mine that turned out OK. I hope these aren't too big size or file-wise...if so I can redo them.

    Northwest/Washington Get-Together?

    I just want to let everyone here know that I really got a kick out of meeting everyone at the get-together...it was my first chance to talk face-to-face with other flashaholics, and I was really impressed by everyone's knowledge and friendliness. We definitely have to do it again. I started a...

    Northwest/Washington Get-Together?

    I'll definitely be there and have reserved spot #102 for Saturday night (right across the road from #101) and look forward to meeting you guys. I've been looking at the Google Earth aerial views of the place, and since it appears that we will be on the northwestern edge of the campgrounds, I...

    Northwest/Washington Get-Together?

    Peewee -- What campsite did you reserve at The Potholes? I'm getting ready to make a reservation for Saturday night (I'll only be able to make the one night) and it would be nice if I could get a site that's reasonably close to the rest of you. It looks like there are several sites at the South...

    Northwest/Washington Get-Together?

    If you guys decide to do this on weekend of Aug 1-3, and especially if you decide to go with the Othello, Wa location, then I can make it also. The previous weekend (July 23-25) is the same time as the hydroplane races in the Tri-Cities, and I have a commitment to do that since it's been 35...

    Brightest LED Flashlight Ever Made?

    I'd like to thank everyone who posted their opinions about my explanation of the headline for the Dorcy flashlight story. This is the first time that I'm aware of a press release headline on my site causing any controversy or misunderstanding regarding either the release itself, or the...

    Brightest LED Flashlight Ever Made?

    Just for the record, everyone should know that Dorcy is responsible for the press release headline, and not myself or FlashlightNews. While I do edit headlines for space reasons, if the company's original title for the release fits OK, I use it...after all, it is their press release, not mine...

    Pepperball Flashlight?

    Seems like most days the members here beat me to most of the day's new stories. but today must be unusual. It looks like no one has stumbled over this one I posted to the site this morning: PepperBall Technologies Introduces FlashLauncher With the decision by Universal Guardian to suspend...

    SureFire Gets Investment

    I posted this story this morning, and didn't see any mention of it here... SureFire Receives Growth Capital from Institutional Investors The press release doesn't say what the dollar amount of the investment was, but I would suspect it was sizable, since three different investment houses...

    Need Lawn help. Which Shrub for a "Privacy Wall"???

    You might want to look at a plant called Photinia...the 'fraseri' variety is well-suited to the use you are looking at. Low-maintenance (once a year light pruning or shearing), takes 100+ degree heat, grows moderately quickly when well watered, and is dense enough to give you significant...

    Anyone got Cree's promotional flashlight? Tacical switch, faceted reflector..

    I just ordered one...I'll try to do a review on it after receipt, but probably not until early July. I'm working hard to get the first group of flashlight reviews ready for publication, and I doubt I'll be able to work this one in until then. I'll try to post a note to this thread about it...
