Planning and Executing the Linaro Cycle
The Linaro release cycle is similar to the Ubuntu one but does has some subtle differences, specifically around the planning stages. This presentation shows how Linaro plans, implements and finally releases software every six months.
The slides for this presentation can be found on slideshare.net and are available in many formats on my Linaro wiki page.
LinuxCon 2010
This month I had the pleasure of attending LinuxCon in Boston. The event was a great success and I managed to get some face-to-face time with old and new friends alike, including the new Ubuntu Release Manager, Kate Stewart and the new Ubuntu Technical Architect, Allison Randal among others. I attended many, many sessions and even managed to catch up with one or two people to talk business but the sessions that stood out for me were:
A Technical Look at Linux at Oracle – Wim Coekaerts
Wim is a great speaker and the topic was new to me so I listened intently. Unfortunately Oracle followed up by promptly suing Google.
Mobile Linux: Adapting Practices, Driving Innovation, Collaboration, and Scalability – Rob Chandhok
Rob outlined Qualcomms Open Source effort. They do a lot of good work with Linux and their latest announcement, that they would be making an effort to consolidate work done in the ARM eco-sphere, echo's what Linaro is tasked at achieving. I'm sure there will be a lot of overlap and collaboration going forward.
Android/Linux Kernel: Lessons Learned – Matthew Garrett
Matthew spent his time describing the failed attempt to get Android's power management solution, suspend blockers, into the mainline kernel. It was a heated discussion at times but did highlight some failings on both Google's and the kernel communities sides.
Linux Kernel Panel – James Bottomley, Jon Corbet, Dave Jones, Chris Mason, Ted Ts'o
Kernel panels, or round-tables, seem to be a common practice at many conferences and this was no exception. A good bunch of speakers, lots of questions from the audience including one or two on the status of the ARM kernel.
Open Source Software Adoption Patterns in Enterprise IT – Jeffrey Hammond
Jeffrey fired of statistics and facts about the studies his company have been doing with regards to Linux adoption. The facts proved interesting with a trend for an accelerated Linux adoption from the pool of people he surveyed.
MeeGo: Where Are We Now – Dawn Foster
Dawn gave a high-level introduction to MeeGo, the project bearing the fruits of the collaboration between Nokia and Intel. Nothing new was discussed but the level of interest in MeeGo was evident by the full room.
Doing What it Takes: Current Legal Issues in Defending FOSS – Eben Moglen
Listening to Eben speak is a pleasure in itself, let alone listening to him talk about a subject close to the heart of many open source developers. For someone to stand there for 30 mins, without slides or prompts, never fumble a word and capture the attention of everyone in the room, Eben must be commended.
Selling the Value of Open Source When Cost is Not the Driver – Ravi Simhambhatla
Virgin America wouldn't be my obvious choice when selecting a company that really utilizes and 'gets' open source but Ravi's explanation of how they use it, where they were before open source, and what they have planned for the future was captivating. Virgin America really are revolutionizing their internal IT departments by using Linux and they have even bigger plans for the future.
Overall a good event, looking forward to the next one.
Linaro Tools and Infrastructure Sprint
For the past couple of days I've been attending the first ever sprint held by the Linaro Tools and Infrastructure team. The sprint itself lasts all week but I arranged to be there for just Tuesday and Wednesday to find out what they had planned and to join up with a few guests.
This event is slightly different from what we typically do at Ubuntu sprints. The team hasn't been together for that long so there was equal focus on both information sharing and collaboration. To that end, mornings were for presentations and discussion, afternoons for hands-on hacking.
A link to the whole schedule is here; for my account of what happened whilst I was there, read on.
Tuesday started with a discussion on image building by Michael Hudson. Often lively and full of good information, the key steps to producing the Linaro images was the focus of conversation. Two launchpad specifications cover this effort, the first, arm-m-image-building-tool concerns improving live-helper to accommodate Linaro's needs, the second, arm-m-image-building-console aims to produce a web based front-end for the image building tools.
Zygmunt Krynicki's project entitled Validation Dashboard was next (slides can be found here). An ambitious project to produce a front end visual representation for various testing tools; this effort is of great importance as validation and correctness is paramount to the software releases Linaro makes.
Another requirement for Linaro is the ability to branch and rebuild parts of the Ubuntu archive. Linaro benefits from the great effort that is put into the Ubuntu archive but as Linaro's needs are at times, different, being able to diverge without affecting Ubuntu itself is important. This effort is being lead by James Westby.
Tuesday morning finished with Paul Larson's testsuite and profiler presentation. Closely related to Zygmunt's dashboard effort, Paul is working on combing the various testsuites and profiles into one big validation effort.
At this point the guys from Code Sourcery joined us to discuss toolchain's and related tools. Will Deacon, Matthias Klose and David Rusling joined the conversation and many points were ironed out. Linaro will benefit from the great work Code Sourcery do around GCC and related tools, producing what we think will be the industry standard tool chain for ARM based devices. A lofty goal but everyone behind the effort is confident.
Talk on tools and toolchains continued to be the focus for the rest of Tuesday and Wednesday. Code Sourcery went away with a pile of work items and the Linaro members todo lists were equally full. There was just enough time Wednesday to sit down with Dave Rusling to formally sign off the technical requirements.
As one Linux Weekly News author put it,
the list of planned achievements for the five months before the release is quite ambitious … even completing a big chunk of it would be quite an accomplishment
We believe we can do it and with the great individuals such as those at the sprint this week, the 10.11 release will be something special.
Towards Linaro 10.11
"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex… It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction".
- Albert Einstein
A little history
Perhaps a little known fact is that well over 15 billion chips have been shipped using ARM's technologies, 1.3 billion in the last quarter of 2009 alone and as the internet goes truely mobile this is set to sky rocket. ARM have sold over 600 processor licenses to more than 200 companies and 12 of the top 20 semiconductor companies use their technologies. ARM based devices really are everywhere. In contrast, Intel have shipped just 3.3 billion to date. Renowned for their low power consumption and high performance, ARM based devices really do seem to be the holy grail of computing but why is it that Intel continues to dominates the desktop, laptop, netbook and server market?
Developing for ARM devices isn't without its problems. There are a lot of companies all working independently on producing their own products, often duplicating effort. Kernels, boot loaders, and to a lesser extent middleware are being worked on in isolation with little in the way of standards and a common direction. This is scary for those who are used to working in the Intel world where one kernel and one boot loader will pretty much work on all compatible devices. To really push ARM devices into the standard spaces Intel currently enjoy's, something needs to be done.
Ubuntu's Linux on ARM initative
Canonical, creators of the renowned Ubuntu distribution, and ARM saw the need to rally around an effort to produce a modern, full-featured Linux distribution tailored for ARM devices. Together, starting in 2008, Canonical and ARM took on the task of bring Ubuntu to ARM platforms. Release 9.04, codenamed "Jaunty Jackalope" was the first Ubuntu release supporting Freescales iMX51 and Marvell's Dove platforms. This distribution was further refined in the 9.10 Karmic Koala release and 10.04, Lucid Lynx even added support for a third ARM platform, TI's Beagle Board. With a completely redesigned user interface, a web based office solution and many more improvements, Lucid is a magnificent release; however there is still a need for a more consolidated effort. This is where Linaro fits into the story.
What is Linaro?
Linaro is an initiative undertaken by ARM, Canonical and partners with the task of improving the state of the whole Linux on ARM ecosphere. It brings together the vast talents of the open source community and ARM's wealth of experience in the electronics industry to work on key and game-changing projects. It will work in the various upstreams where possible and provide engineering, technical and guidance support for a wide and diverse set of problem area's. Linaro will not just help other projects, there will also be a clear set of deliverables which will culminate Linaro's efforts into regular 6 monthly engineering releases, starting this November.
Release Objectives
So this is the area which gets me the most excited. As the release manager for Linaro I am responsible for making sure each and every release captures exactly what the essence of Linaro is, consolidation, collaboration, improvement and robustness. Each of these qualities are goals for the Linaro releases and to that end our first release, 10.11, will contain all of these in abundance.
Building upon the already successful Linux on ARM effort, Linaro will utilize Canonical's Launchpad framework including bug management, code hosting and blueprints.
Just some of the high-level highlights are below. I'll leave the other Linaro team members to blog the details about their teams efforts later.
- Help standardize the industry on common kernel versions and features.
- Improve debugging and performance analysis at the kernel level.
- Bring power management and performance improvements including boot speed reduction.
- Promote and implement device-tree's on ARM hardware.
- Provide test 'heads', whole vertical software stacks and distributions, to show what can be done on top of Linaro.
- Explore integrating telephony right into the distribution.
- Improve the state of graphics acceleration.
- Provide QA and validation harnesses to ensure anything built with Linaro is of the highest standard.
- Offer performance analysis and suggestions on how to improve.
- Supply a whole host of development, archive and image management, and distribution creation and customization tools.
And much, much more. A full list of blueprints which capture what we are trying to achieve can be found on the Linaro wiki.
Get Involved
For more information on the Linaro initiative please see the official website and the wiki. We have mailing lists and a Launchpad project page and I invite you all to come and participate in this exciting and ground-breaking venture.
What next?
So whats next? Well, the famous words of Albert Einstein that opened this post are most relevant here. We are the Genius's trying to make ARM development both easier and simpler. So with courage and a bit of luck, Linaro will succeed in bring Linux and ARM to a whole new level.
Ubuntu Lucid Lynx on ARM
What a fantastic release Ubuntu 10.04, aka Lucid Lynx was. Many, many people helped to make 10.04 rock and as some of them attend the Ubuntu Developer Summit (UDS) this week to thrash out the roadmap for Maverick Meerkat, its a good time to look back at what happened to the ARM version of Lucid this cycle.
A new user interface
One of the most obvious changes is the user interface. The ARM version of Ubuntu's previous release, Karmic Koala, booted to the default Ubuntu desktop. For some this was fine but typically today's ARM devices tend to be different. At present, they tend to have smaller screens, less resources and little in the way of graphics acceleration. To overcome some of these limitations in the x86 netbook world, the netbook-launcher user interface was created. Based on Clutter, netbook-launcher could not run on the ARM devices Ubuntu was targeting due to a lack of 3D acceleration. Enter netbook-launcher-efl, a 2D version of the x86 netbook interface written using EFL packages.
Read more about the 2D EFL based launcher.
Faster Live CD boots
Booting a Live CD is something that most new Ubuntu users do (and many existing users too). Its often their first experience of an Ubuntu release and should give a good impression. Well, on some ARM hardware, booting this Live CD image took over 3 minutes, not exactly the impression we would hope. So investigations happened into what was causing this slowness. In the end the final boot time was reduced by around 35% on all Ubuntu Live images, not just ARM ones.
Read more about the Live CD boot time improvements.
Web Office and Web Mail integration
Open Office on a resource limited platform isn't the greatest experience and to make matters worse, on the ARM architecture there are issues building it correctly. A new way of viewing, editing and saving office documents was needed and for the Lucid cycle a web-based solution was integrated into the desktop called webservice-office-zoho.
Read more about the web office integration.
Similarly, Evolution could be considered too heavy-weight for ARM device needs. A solution was implemented to enable integration with several online mail providers.
Read more about the web mail integration.
Optimized Tool Chain Defaults
This release includes a complete archive rebuild using more modern tool chain defaults that the latest ARM hardware can take advantage of. As of Lucid Lynx, packages are built using Thumb-2 to reduce code size and improve performance, NEON for accelerate multimedia and signal processing, and are optimized for ARMv7A based chips. Although this means that some older hardware will not work with the latest Ubuntu release it does mean that the images perform much better on modern hardware.
Other Improvements
Much bug fixing went on this cycle. The fail to build list (FTBFS), a list of packages that fail to build on a given architecture, was a focal point of activity. For the first time ever, the number of packages that failed to build on ARM from the main archive was zero (apart from libx86 which refuses to leave the build queue for ARM due to a bug), a great achievement.
The Chromium browser now works on ARM, rootstock, the tool to build ARM rootfs tarballs gained a gui frontend, we added support for the very popular OMAP platform (beagle board) and many small improvements were implemented, making this the best Ubuntu ARM release ever.
We here at Canonical are very proud of the Lucid Lynx on ARM and are extremely excited at what future releases will bring.
The New UI for ARM Based Ubuntu Devices
ARM based platforms traditionally have a problem with graphics drivers and free software. Encumbered by licensing issues, many platforms only ship with 2D based drivers whilst the 3D driver-enabled offerings only frequent the poshest of circles such as Nokia's N900. There are exceptions, but its a painful reality at the moment.
Vendors are trying to work around it, especially as there is the expectation of a ramp-up in the availability of ARM based hardware. Super long-life netbooks, low powered touch based computers, and even a flurry of smaller embedded devices are forecast to hit the market this year, many of which will be based on the Linux operating system. Ubuntu would be a great match for this.

Ubuntu live cd's, now 33% faster
One of the goals for the Lucid cycle was to investigate why it took so long to boot an Ubuntu live cd session. Why is this important I hear you ask? Well the live cd is usually the first thing a potential new Ubuntu user sees. They get an Ubuntu Desktop (or other flavour) cd from their friend/colleague/random person, insert it into their machine, wait for a while and are then presented with a live session. All well and good but if your running on slower hardware, even a different architecture such as ARM, this initial slowness can be orders of magnitude more than a fast desktop/laptop. For example, the ARM images we shipped for Karmic took over 3 minutes to boot into a live desktop session.

What would you like to see for ARM based embedded distro's?
So its that time of year again, we released a great product and instead of being content, we want to make an even greater one next time. It's scary to think that I leave for the Ubuntu Developer Summit (UDS) next week but as a Canonical employee we are all charged with coming up with great idea's on how to make our particular field of interest even more awesome than it is now.

New Ventures Ahead
As a follow-up to my work related post about me losing my job to the economic crisis, I though it would be only fitting to announce my new role, that of Ubuntu Mobile Developer for Canonical. I'm really looking forward to working with a hugely talented team and helping Ubuntu continue to be the first choice OS for Linux based machines.

Diet and Depression
Posted by Doc in Uncategorized on June 1, 2014
I would never have guessed in my 'out there' imagination that I would find worthwhile medical information reading a fashion magazine while waiting for my car to be serviced!
I had not read nor for that matter seen a copy of "ELLE" for a very long time, never mind the June 2014 issue! Arizona is not LA or NYC!
Here was the scoop Harvard School of Public Health followed 43,685 women for 12 years looking at depression as it relates to diet. At the onset no one had a diagnosis of; nor were taking anti-depressents.
The researchers evaluated a 'pro-inflammatory diet' versus one that was not.
Let me share with you the diets – before the findings – as you will probably be able to guess outcome:
- 'pro-inflammatory' diet – soft drinks, red meat, margarine, refined grains
- 'non inflammatory' diet – red wine, coffee, olive oil, green and also yellow veggies
OK you guessed:
- 29 a 41% of those on 'pro-inflammatory' diet were more likely to be depressed then those on non inflammatory diet.
I did not feel the need to verify this blurb shared with ELLE readers, it is so intuitive. Gluten is a well-known pro- inflammatory agent to human body especially the brain. Know I feel very responsible when blogging so yes here is a good link for more details!
CPR & You
Posted by Doc in Adult Medical Sense, Child Medical Sense, Uncategorized on December 18, 2012
Would you stop if someone collapsed near you? Would you know what to do? Yes call or shout for help. What next?
Please use common sense, find out if person is responsive -breathing.
A nationwide Japanese study just published (Circulation) showed bystanders starting "Hands Only CPR" allowed 40.7% of out of hospital cases to survive at least a month functioning on their own! Very impressive numbers. A system was in place that started with bystanders performing "Hand – Only CPR" & public access to a defibrillator (paddles placed on chest –machine prompts you). These are in many public spaces through out the world
What I am getting at – YOUR doing the recommended "Hands Only CPR" can save lives! It is straightforward –
Not breathing/responding
Find the middle of person's chest (between nipple) & middle breastbone (sternum)
-Place flat of your hand over each other lean over lock elbows and push fast and hard (about 100/min.). It is said The Bee Gees disco song "Stayin' Alive" is in sync with pace needed to make a difference. Please go online and spend 60 seconds watching this AHA video.

I am always looking at mocks, and I found this updated one just a bit ago: http://nflmocks.com/2012/01/14/new-york-jets-mock-draft/
Here's what it says (it does NOT include compensatory picks) with my thoughts on each pick:
1) Nick Perry, OLB, USC
My thoughts: As I have previously stated, I love Nick Perry. I would be extremely happy with this pick. It is no secret that this is a position of need, as the lack of pass rush is outstanding. We might be the best in the league at not having a good pass rush. Nick has decent size and pretty good strength. He has a nice rip move and is blazingly fast (projected 4.5 40 yard dash) with good acceleration. He also performed well versus good opponents (i.e. Jonathon Martin, the second best OT in college football this year). He had 9.5 sacks this year. USC has a knack for grooming linebackers and I think this kid could be something special.
2) Zebrie Sanders, OT, Florida State
My thoughts: OT is an obvious position of need. Whether we address it in the draft or free agency (I'm looking at you, Demetrius Bell), it needs to be fixed. That is without question. By all accounts, he has good footwork, size, and athleticism. He has a good shot at being a good pro. He is a little infamous for this play, but don't judge him (I still don't understand what happened here...)
3) Nick Toon, WR, Wisconsin
My thoughts: Not sure if he'll be available here, but if so I will be happy with this pick. I kind of have an obsession with big, deep threat receivers. Toon is 6'2 and projected to run a high 4.4 (closer to 4.5 probably). He has good hands, uses his body well, blocks well, and adjusts to the ball well. He finished the year with 64 receptions for 926 yards and 10 touchdowns. These are not only good numbers, but he did it in a run first offense (running back Montee Ball close to 2000 rushing yards and 33 rushing touchdowns while also catching for another 300 yards and 6 touchdowns). Of course the Jets love his family as his father, Al, was a great WR for the Jets. I'm not sure that he can be a great #1 receiver, but he will definitely be able to produce at the next level and could one day be a #1 receiver. Other receiver options with this pick are Tommy Streeter (Miami) and Brian Quick (Appalachian State).
4) Tank Carder, ILB, TCU
My thoughts: With the rumors of Bart Scott possibly being gone (I hope that doesn't happen), Carder can possibly fill in for him I guess. I really don't know much about Carder to be honest so I really don't know if this will work out. In the meantime, if Bart is still around next year, he can learn some things under Bart and help out in pass coverage hopefully. I think that at this time we could possibly get someone else who I feel would contribute more. This includes receiver Juron Criner (Arizona), pass rushers Shea McClellin (Boise State)/Donte Paige-Moss (UNC), and running back Isaiah Pead (Cincinnati).
5) George Iloka, FS, Boise State
My thoughts: If you don't already know, I really, really like George Iloka. Like, a lot. We obviously need safety help. Iloka is 6'3, fast for his size, did well in coverage in college, and can be used in blitz packages. He could be the missing piece to the puzzle, as he may be able to cover tight ends in the NFL one day. He may be pretty raw and not ready to step right in and start Day 1, but I think he will get there. I love this pick.
6) Dominique Davis, QB, East Carolina
My thoughts: Not loving this pick. In this round I want a punter (Shaun Powell, Florida State or Bryan Anger, California).
7) Michael Williams, TE, Alabama
My thoughts: We need a blocking tight end. I guess this will work. I'm fine with this pick. I also would like to draft a kicker so this may be the time to do so. I don't know any kickers so I will leave this to the Jets to figure out.
According to another fanpost by tinley24, we will get a 5th, 6th, and 2 7th. I have two ideas for the use of these picks.
1) Use them all. In the 5th, get another FS. In the 6th, get a kicker to go along with the punter we draft and then use the original 7th rounder on that blocking tight end. With the other two 7th round picks we would just take BPA.
2) Use them as trade bait. We can get another 2nd or 3rd rounder by using them (i.e. trade all 4 for a pick in the middle or towards the beginning of the 2nd or 3rd round). If we got a earlyish to mid 2nd rounder, we could not only draft Sanders, but we could also double dip on a position. This could be pass rusher Vinny Curry from Marshall to go with Perry (potential superstar duo of the future), WR Dwight Jones from UNC to go with our 3rd rounder Nick Toon (I love Dwight Jones and I think he could be a star), or RT Mike Adams from Ohio State to go with 2nd rounder Zebrie Sanders and let them fight it out for the starting position. The other can be a backup for D'Brick and the starter (great depth). Another guy we could draft with an extra 2nd rounder is OG Kelechi Osemele from Iowa State. He would provide nice depth and Brandon Moore is getting older. If we were to get an extra 3rd rounder, we could use the same "double dip strategy": another pass rusher to go with Nick Perry, another WR to go with Toon (i.e. Tommy Streeter from Miami, Brian Quick from Appalachian State, or Stephen Hill from Georgia Tech), or OT Brandon Mosely from Auburn to go with Zebrie Sanders and let them fight it out for the starting job, the other will provide great depth.
Would you guys be happy with this mock plus my additions??

ROLLINSFORD, N.H. (MyFoxBoston.com) -- A newlywed is at Mass. General trying to recover from his injuries while mourning the death of his wife after an accused drunk driver crashed into their car Saturday in New Hampshire.
Minnesota natives Leah Fonda and Brian Preiss had been married for less than two weeks and were on their honeymoon road trip when they were hit along Route 4 in Rollinsford, N.H. Leah died as a result of her injuries.
"On Friday we were with them, dancing with them. We were toasting them," said Brian's uncle, Ken. "And then the following Saturday they're gone. Brian is in the hospital and Leah has passed away."
Leah and Brian met at an amusement park at the Mall of America where they worked for years. The couple couldn't wait to get married.
"The love that you saw in their eyes, that was true love," said Ken.
New Hampshire State Police allege Matthew Tsopas of Somersworth was drunk when he hit the car the couple was riding in nearly head-on. Tsopas took off from the scene, but Dover police found him hiding in a ditch a short time later.
Investigators say Tsopas had hit four cars in the parking lot of a nearby American Legion where he had been drinking prior to the crash. He is facing charges that include negligent homicide and felony DUI. Tsopas remained in the hospital Monday night, but he will be taken to Strafford County Jail and held on $250,000 cash bond once he is released.

Help for hospital on Otley couple's menu
8:00am Friday 14th February 2014 in Local news
The owners of an Otley cafe have held another fundraiser for a hospital unit that saved their son's life.
Erkan and Lisa Can's now five- year-old son, Emre, was born with a heart condition that required urgent surgery when he was just two weeks old.
The couple were so grateful to the Children's Heart Surgery unit at Leeds General Infirmary that in 2012, with the help of some cycling friends, customers and family, they raised £2,700 for the fund that supports it.
Last Friday, February 7, they held another fundraiser at the Otley cafe they run, The Rumblin' Tum, in support of the Children's Heart Surgery Fund's Wear Red Day.
Erkan said: "We had a good day in the cafe with lots of customers in, it being a market day, and the support was fantastic. We were wearing our custom-made heart surgery fund T-shirts, provided by Wharfdale Embroidery, in the cafe and asking our customers for donations.
"We also have been supported by Emre's school in Cookridge, Holy Trinity Primary, who asked all parents to send their kids to school wearing an item of clothing or an accessory in red, and to bring £1."
The cafe is keeping its collection boxes out for a few more days to boost its fundraising total The Cans, meanwhile, are hoping the Leeds unit – whose future is still in the balance – will remain open to help other local families. Erkan said: "We need this unit and we admire the people who work there from top to bottom."

The Rocky Mountains stretch through western North America from Alaska to New Mexico, forming the middle section of the Western Cordillera, an extensive belt of mountains that reaches from the Arctic Circle to Mexico. The Rocky Mountains straddle the continental divide, a natural barrier to the west of which water flows toward the Pacific Ocean and to the east of which water flows in the direction of the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans.
Habitat Classification:
The habitat zones found within the Rocky Mountains may be classified as follows:
- Ecozone: Terrestrial
- Ecosystem: Alpine / Montane
- Region: Nearctic
- Primary Habitat: Temperate forest
- Secondary Habitats: Aspen forest, ponderosa pine forest, high elevation willow forest, spruce / fir forest, alpine tundra
Birds that can be found in the Rocky Mountains include:
- American dipper
- brown-capped rosy finch
- black swift
- blue grouse
- Clark's nutcracker
- gray jay
- MacGillivray's warbler
- mountain chickadee
- pygmy nuthatch
- northern pygmy owl
- pine grosbeak
- red crossbill
- three-toed woodpecker
- Townsend's solitare
- Virginia's warbler
- Western tanager
- white-tailed ptarmigan
- Williamson's sapsucker
- Wilson's warbler
Mammals that inhabit the Rocky Mountains include elk, mule deer, and bighorn sheep. Bison and predators such the grizzly bear, gray wolf, lynx and wolverine are very rare in the Rocky Mountains and in some areas they are locally extinct. Salamanders, toads, frogs and a variety of fish inhabit the mountain range.
Geology and History:
The Rocky Mountains are part of the Western Cordillera, one of the most extensive mountain ranges in the world. The Rocky Mountains lie in the eastern midsection of the Western Cordillera and stretch from British Columbia to New Mexico. The geological history of the Rocky Mountains is complex. Large sections of the mountain range were formed during a series of significant uplifts that have taken place during the last 15 million years (Tertiary Period). Additional mountain formation occurred during the Cretaceous Period.
The northern portions of the Rocky Mountain range have been repeatedly glaciated during the Pleistocene Epoch, Halocene Epoch, and as recently as 15,000-20,000 years ago. Water played an important part in sculpting the profile of the Rocky Mountains, with rivers, lakes, snow, and melt water runoff eroding the range throughout its history.
Where to See Wildlife:
Some of the places you can see wildlife in the Rocky Mountains include:
- Rocky Mountain National Park (Colorado)
- Grand Teton National Park (Wyoming)
- Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming, Montana and Idaho)

My pet peeve is reading someone's negative review…
Price Paid: $175
My pet peeve is reading someone's negative review of a product only to find out that they didn't buy the correct product to begin with. This is not a winter boot, although if you buy it 1/2 size bigger and wear winter socks with liners and stay reasonably active these boots will get you through some cold days.
This is my 5th pair of Asolo boots. After 40+ years of owning various brands of backpacking boots by nearly every manufacturer. I now stick with Asolo. The quality is unsurpassed and the fit is always consistent.
The problem for Asolo, though, is that their boots typicallly last a long time and I just bought this pair because I just wanted a new pair of hiking boots. My FSN 99 GTX's are sill going strong after 7 years! I've worn out a pair of Merrill's in less than 1 year.
Very comfortable light boot for high and dry conditions.
Very comfortable light boot for high and dry conditions. The GTX will not save you from cold, wet feet in Sierra snow. The outside rand started to blow fairly early. Not impressed, which is too bad because I like Asolo, or did.

Average Scores
The SAT has three sections and three scores, each on a scale of 200 to 800.
- Writing (200-800)
- Math (200-800)
- Critical Reading (200-800)
An average score is acceptable for most colleges and universities. However, some of the top schools will expect you to achieve an SAT score of 2,100 of more. A score above 2,100 puts you in the 90th percentile, meaning that you scored better on the test than 90% of test takers.
Perfect Scores
A perfect score is 2,400 points. Approximately 1,000,000 students take the SAT each year and on average, only 20 of them get a perfect score. Click here to learn more about preparing for the SAT.
