Backpacker Magazine – September 2005
16 wild ways to find backcountry solitude and big-time scenery. All this, and you can bring the ice chest, too.
Perfect Hot Springs
Enjoy mild rapids and a wilderness soak on the remote East Fork of the Carson River.
If this stream were on the Sierra Nevada's west side, boaters would be lining up like frappuccino addicts at Starbucks. Instead, it runs down the east side--starting high near Sonora Pass, tumbling through pine forests of the Carson-Iceberg Wilderness, and leveling off in Nevada's high desert--leaving it to a few paddlers in the know. The 20-mile run has a short, snowmelt-dependent season, but here's why it's worth watching the water gauge: Continuous Class I-II+ rapids serve up a perfect float for beginners, and the 104°F hot springs located just past Sidewinder, an S-turn rapid midway through, will satisfy boaters of any ability. Good campsites are located on benches nearby.
Get there Start at Hangman's Bridge on CA 89, near Markleeville. The take-out is just above Ruhenstroth Dam (5 miles south of Gardnerville off of US 395). Be sure to heed the graffiti warnings to take out on river right, before the dam. Shuttle and outfitter info: www.c-w-r.com/rivers/east-carson.
Season May and June
Difficulty Moderate. This section is Class I-II; start 7 miles upstream for Class III.
Contact Carson National Forest, (775) 882-2766; www.fs.fed.us/r4/htnf/districts/carson.shtml
was wondering if anyone knew my father kenneth York he guided the Allagash for years.I would be interested thank you
Although you've listed some great waterways, and have limited space for your article, you know, your readers are going to chide you about not listing their favorites. So, to add to that list of incredulousness, when was the last time you paddled down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River, in Central Idaho. For raw jaw-dropping beauty, aqueous power, a wicked challenge, and a great trip, you've got to list this gnarled ribbon of water that slices through the River of No Return Wilderness. I could understand leaving other waterways off your list, but not this beauty!
Wow, I can't believe the (insert favorite) river wasn't included. This is the best! Some of the most beautiful scenery is found on the (insert favorite) river....
Wait a minute. Just wait a minute. You left out the Green River in Utah? Whether its Desolation Valley or Labyrnth Canyon or Stillwater, we are talking the most spectacular rafting and canoeing in the country, bar none, nothing even close. Please. Just my humble opinion, but seriously. Green River, for like 200 miles. THAT'S amazing.

WOW! Do not depend on Larry Rice on this one. First off. The Glory Hole pictured is not even in the Buffalo watershed. Second, the LOWER section will be low in the Fall. The upper half of the river will be virtually dry. The Buffalo is rain dependent, not spring fed. Summer is hot and humid with low algae filled water. The Buffalo is my river. It is by far my favorite river and I spend a lot of time there. Obviously Larry Rice does not. I will be joining Kenneth L Smith tomorrow for a week of trailbuilding on the Buffalo. Ken will be trailbuilding in the fall. If you love trails it is a chance to be in a wonderful place extending the Buffalo River Trail.
The Allagash is indeed beautiful in Sept / Oct
but the river sections are very shallow and rocky.
You will likely be limited to the lakes.
Summer months usually have the best river flow.
Bring 100% DEET and a head net!
I cant believe yall left out the Alabama Scenic River Trail, a trail that spans from NE Alabama to the Gulf of Mexico and includes the Bartram Canoe Trail, a trail that meanders through the beautiful Mobile/Tensaw River Delta.

Like other countries, abuse by priests in Australia has been almost an epidemic. And like other countries, the Church has tried to cover it up and thereby allow abusive priests to continue abusing. Not too long ago, the Government of Victoria launched an inquiry and there was some publicity around that. Last week, the Government of New South Wales also launched an inquiry - their focus is recent comments by Detective Chief Inspector Peter Fox, who spent years investigating abuse allegations in the Hunter region. He said the church destroyed evidence, silenced victims and shuffled around accused priests in a bid to cover up abuse. See the video below which includes a graphic (verbal) description of the rape of one boy by a priest. But now, Australia's Prime Minister Julia Gillard has ordered a federal inquiry. (CBC News)
"Any instance of child abuse is a vile and evil thing. Australians know that," Gillard told reporters in Canberra. "Australians know, from the revelations that they've read in recent weeks, that too many children have suffered child abuse but have also seen other adults let them down. They've not only had their trust betrayed by the abuser, but other adults who could have acted to assist them have failed to do so." The investigation will target religious and state institutions, schools and community groups such as sporting clubs. It will also look into police responses to abuse allegations and is expected to take several years to complete.
Video by ABC News Australia about the NSW inquiry - includes statements by Detective Chief Inspector Peter Fox:
In case you haven't been counting - that's three separate Government Inquiries into abuse by priests in Australia and the cover-up by the Catholic Church.
There are a lot of Catholics in Australia - perhaps 30 to 40% would call themselves that - and NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell is one of them. Like a lot of Catholics he said that he doesn't understand how Catholic priests who admit to paedophilia in confession aren't reported to police. He was commenting after Cardinal George Pell told a Press Conference in Sydney that "the Seal of Confession is inviolable" even if a priest confesses to child sex abuse.
O'Farrell continued: "And I understand that as a Catholic, not a particularly good Catholic, that that is an important sacrament within my church. But I struggle to understand that if a priest confesses to another priest that he has been involved in paedophile activities, that that information should not be brought to police."
My suggestion: perhaps the penance (required for forgiveness) should be "Now go confess to the Police".
A pedophile ring?
The Catholic Bishop of Newcastle, whose northern NSW diocese has experienced some of the worst child sex abuse, said it was possible a pedophile ring once existed among its clergy. Bishop Bill Wright said his staff had "tried to join the dots" between individual abusive priests. "One priest who was abusing someone was in a parish next to another priest who turned out to be an abuser. Or one known abuser contributing funds to the defence of another known abuser," Bishop Wright said.
"We've not exactly been able to join those dots. What we haven't got is evidence of them passing victims around, what you would call a ring. It's possible. The Maitland-Newcastle diocese has paid out at least $15 million in settlements to more than 100 victims, while unofficial estimates put the total number of victims at hundreds more. At least two of its priests have been convicted for serial pedophile abuse, with at least one more now on trial. The former vicar-general, Tom Brennan, died this year while facing charges of child abuse and covering up abuse committed by another priest.
Some of this historic abuse took place with the knowledge of other senior clergy, Bishop Wright said. These officials sent the alleged perpetrators for medical treatment, moved them between parishes or lost track of where they were living, without reporting their alleged crimes to police. "(There was a) lack of knowledge, a lack of experience, a lack of established procedures . . . but I won't close my mind ultimately to criminal conspiracy," Bishop Wright said. "If there are people who have got things to answer for, living or dead, (if) what they were doing was in the lines of criminal cover-up, let them be prosecuted."
More cases
Meanwhile, another case of abuse by a priest was in court in Melbourne. (Sydney Morning Herald) David Edwin Rapson, 59, appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Tuesday (Nov 13, 2012) charged with one count of rape, five counts of indecent assault, four counts of indecently assaulting a child under 16, and one count of gross indecency. The offences occurred from 1973 to 1990 at Salesian College Rupertswood in Sunbury where Rapson had been a teacher and vice-principal.
Sydney cases continue to surface. 59-year-old Brother Martin Harmata was arrested on the NSW Central Coast and charged with five counts of indecently assaulting two boys aged 12 and 13. A former 58 year-old-lay teacher was also arrested and charged with abusing children at the Patrician Brother's College in Blacktown in Western Sydney. ABC News
The saga of the abuse by priests and 3 Government inquiries continues in Australia. Public opinion is hardening against the Catholic Institution in Australia if you can judge by an opinion piece in the Melbourne Age by Mike Carlton.
Calling Cardinal George Pell "every inch a prince of Rome", Carlton first quotes Cardinal Pell:
The sexual abuse of children by Catholic priests had been exaggerated, he told a news conference in Sydney on Tuesday. There was a "press campaign" against the church, with "general smears that we are covering up and moving people around''.
"We object to being described as the only cab on the rank … because there is a persistent press campaign focused largely on us, that does not mean we are largely the principal culprits.''
He then continues:
With those few sentences, Australia's most senior Catholic churchman flung aside any lingering shred of moral authority attached either to his person or his office as the Cardinal Archbishop of Sydney. There were one or two perfunctory remarks about "shame" delivered in that familiar treacly baritone, but that was it. Strip away the apostolic airs and he could have been a flack for James Hardie assuring the world that the dangers of the company's asbestos products had been rather overblown.
It was monstrous. It was despicable. To portray the church as a victim in this filthy business was an Orwellian reversal of the polarity of right and wrong, truth and fiction. With self-serving hypocrisy, Pell delivered yet another slap in the face to those hundreds if not thousands of children, and their families, who suffered abuse. For the rest of us, it was an insult to the intelligence.
Nobody is suggesting the Catholic church is the only cab on the rank. In Australia and worldwide, this epidemic of child abuse has extended across the Christian denominations and into schools, state institutions, the Boy Scouts, and sports clubs and teams. In my extended family, I know of a young boy in country NSW abused by an Anglican rector. The brute was quietly moved on when his crimes were discovered. Just this week in Britain, a retired Bishop of Gloucester in the Church of England was arrested on suspicion of sexual offences committed against eight boys as young as 12.
But the truly sickening thing about the Catholic church was the sinister cover-up, which ran for decades and which, for all we know, might still be happening. The statistics are there, and they are shocking. At a parliamentary inquiry in Melbourne last month, a deputy commissioner of the Victoria Police, Graham Ashton, revealed that since 1956 there had been 2110 sexual offences against 519 child victims in that state alone, about 70 per cent of them committed by Catholic priests, brothers or teachers. Not one of those crimes had ever been reported to the police by the church, he said. Not one.
Like the Bourbons, Pell has learnt nothing and forgotten nothing. For him, the primacy of the church is all. His pastoral failure is absolute.
If Pell was a senior VP in a public company, he'd have been fired by now. Mistakes can be forgiven if the organization first acknowledges the problems then seems to be correcting them. Pell is not doing that.

Tell the FDA to properly regulate GMO salmon before they make wild salmon extinct ! »
Our pal Katie Cantrell of the Factory Farming Awareness Coalition wants to make us aware of two things regarding farmed GM salmon: One, that the FDA is thisclose to approving AquaAdvantage's genetically modified salmon; two, that the FDA plans to regulate this new salmon as "an 'animal drug' rather than a new food product, drastically limiting the safety tests it must undergo."
Equally disturbing, the FDA report does not assess how the salmon would affect the environment in which it is raised, because the actual farming will take place in Canada and Panama (5). The GE salmon grow twice as fast as wild salmon, and eat five times as much food (6). If the GE salmon were to escape, they would lead to the complete extinction of wild salmon within 40 fish generations. AquaAdvantage has sterilized the fish to try to prevent this, but 5-10 percent of sterilized fish are still fertile (7).
And farmed salmon do escape! FFAC invites you to participate in the FDA's public comment period, which is open through Feb. 25. There's a petition here asking the FDA to slow down on its approval of this salmon. Anyone concerned with the future of wild fish should read about AquaAdvantage's product and consider signing the petition. If they are going to force this new fish on us, they should at least study it in depth so they can regulate it properly.

Factory Farming Awareness Coalition says, pink slime isn't the only deadly sludge »
Our pal Katie Cantrell of the Factory Farming Awareness Coalition (formerly known as the Coalition to Fight Factory Farming) would like to remind you that pink slime isn't the only nasty slime in our lives:
[N]ow there's a new alarming factory farmed byproduct: green slime. Blue-green algae is infesting lakes and rivers, making people and companion animals ill and costing billions of dollars in lost revenue, environmental, and public health costs.
There are tons of images of these cyanobacteria covering lakes around the world. The above photo is from Wisconsin; the below is from Finland.
Sometimes it occurs naturally, but the recent uptick is due to runoff from factory farms, hooray! And it's totally toxic and can fuck shit up for you and any other animals who come in contact with it!
Read more at FFAC blog, and curse the heavens that your being vegan doesn't stop you from being affected by the disgusting practices of factory farming.

Home > News > Digital Mammography
Published on March 10, 2011
Jackson County Regional Health Center will be introducing digital mammography to Maquoketa and the Jackson County region later this year.
Hospital administration also said Thursday at the Board of Trustees meeting that the hospital has hired Invision Architecture and KJWW Engineering to conduct a facilities analysis of Jackson County Regional Health Center.
The facilities analysis will assist hospital administration with developing a long-range plan for future needs and the most efficient use for the space of Jackson County Regional Health Center.
The facilities analysis will result in a document that will have the following data:
Cost of the architectural and engineering analysis will be $29,593. A final report is scheduled to be completed by May 25.
"Health care needs have significantly shifted over the years. The changes are still happening and will continue,'' said Curt Coleman, Administrator, Jackson County Regional Health Center. "To make good, long-range plans and address our infrastructure needs appropriately, we need a document that will describe our current assets, their condition, and a prioritized guide for future decisions.''
Women in Maquoketa and the Jackson County region will have access to the latest screening tool for the early detection of breast cancer when Jackson County Regional Health Center introduces digital mammography this summer.
The state-of-the-art machine will mean quicker exams and less need for second exams or retakes. The machine also emits a lower level of radiation than traditional film mammography.
The primary benefit of digital mammography compared to film mammography is that digital images can be enhanced to provide better visualization. Digital mammography can assist in early detection of breast cancer.
Digital mammography does not change the actual examination. Compression of the breast is still necessary for the most accurate images.
Jackson County Regional Health Center is investing $250,000 in the move to digital mammography.
"We are pleased to be able to offer this updated service to women served by Jackson County Regional Health Center,'' said Coleman. "Digital mammography gives radiologists the opportunity to spot cancers at an earlier stage for some women.''
For three groups of women, digital mammography has been found to be more accurate in identifying breast cancers.
A 2005 New England Journal of Medicine study involving 43,000 women in the United States and Canada found:
An advantage of digital mammography for doctors and technicians is that the mammogram images are available for evaluation almost immediately on a computer screen. The images can also enhanced and are easily shared and transmitted between physician offices.
Jackson County Regional Health Center has been serving as the county's only hospital since opening in 1950. It was founded as the result of a community vision to create a modern, full-service hospital to meet the needs of Jackson County residents and the surrounding area. That vision holds true today as JCRHC strives to meet the ever changing needs of the people it serves. Today, Jackson County Regional Health Center is a 25-bed Joint Commission accredited Critical Access Hospital offering a wide range of inpatient, outpatient, emergency and community health services.
Jackson County Regional Health Center announced two important advancements Thursday in preparing the hospital for a long-term future during a period of rapid change in health care.

|A penny For Your Thoughts
|Nancy Whitaker
By Nancy Whitaker
Anybody who grew up in the 1950s is probably familiar with all the delivery men we had stopping at our homes.
Those were the days when you had a milk man, egg man, ice man, brush man, coal man and a bread man. Even though I was quite young, I still recall the ice man bringing the big chunk of ice that went into our ice box. It was always fun for the iceman to give us a chunk of ice to suck on.
Another delivery man we had was a milk man. He used to put bottles of milk on the porch and take the empty bottles. This service was very nice because it was difficult to get the grocery stores more than once a week. Some women did not drive and if they did there was usually just one car in the family to use.

Side effects may last only as long as the treatment, or they may continue and become chronic. Some side effects occur after treatment, such as erection problems. For some men, this problem gets gradually worse over the course of several years after treatment. The long-term effects of radiation therapy on the main body systems are not yet known. Side effects include:
- An irritated rectum that can cause an urgent need to pass stool. This is called proctitis.
- An inflamed bladder and urination problems. This is called cystitis.
- An inflamed intestine and diarrhea. This is called enteritis.
- Being unable to have an erection. This is called impotence.
- Being unable to control urination. This is called incontinence.
- Painful urination. This is called dysuria.
- Bleeding from the rectum or blood in the urine.

Picked this up at Pyramid in Seattle. Great dark pour with very little head. Nose is encouraging with a lot of coffee and dark fruit. Taste is similar with a lighter mouthfeel than expected. This is not my favorite style of beer but is a solid porter from a very good brewery.

The Inkblot poured just like its name would infer. Dark black with not much for a head. The smell brings to mind dark fruit like plums and the mouthfeel is a little more substantive than what your would get with just the regular porter style. Not too bad of a beer. I don't see this style around very often and I tend to like the additional complexity as well as the kick compared to its little brother. It leaves a nice bitterness on the finish of the tongue. Overall a pretty good brew. Mine has been aging for a year.

An American interpretation of a Baltic Porter? Never seen one before, so I had to give this one a shot!
A - Pours a deep, nearly black brown, with a nice two finger tan head, with moderate head retention and lacing.
S - Smell is heavily of burnt espresso, chocolate, a faint smokiness, a little bit of caramel, and plum.
T - Taste is of chocolate/caramel malts up front, with a biscuity texture, but finishes coffee notes and a slight acidity. The smokiness found in the scent is not really present in the taste. Overall, it's a bit on the sweeter side than most American porters, but not as much as most Baltics I've tried.
M - Beer is medium/semi-full bodied (a bit lighter than expected for the ABV), with a somewhat high carbonation. A bit much so for the style IMHO.
D - A pint or two is good.
Overall - A decent, but not great porter IMHO.

Jeesh, this was hard to figure out. So this place is technically autonomous, although it's owned by Magic Hat and somehow distributed through or by Pyramid? Or something?
Anyhow, this was on tap at Pyramid in Seattle. I think it was billed as collaboration between MacTarnahan's and some artist, I think it was supposed to help raise money for some cause. (I really should have taken more thorough notes).
This is one of the smoothest strong Baltics I have ever drank. That's good and bad, since part of the joy of an intense Baltic Porter is the nice burniness they give you on the back of the tongue.
Ink Blot is rich, sweet, and chocolatey. It starts out so thick and smooth that it could be mistaken for a milk stout, but it gets a little more rough and warm near the middle--more like a porter--before ending on long, dry node of semisweet chocolate.

Copyright is perhaps the most significant intellectual property right in relation to the publishing industry. Publishers, at the outset, need to acquire from authors the exclusive rights of reproduction and distribution, which are recognized by the WIPO-administered Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (the Berne Convention) and the WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT).
Publishers play a key role in making literary works known and available to the reading public. They are responsible for acquiring, preparing, managing, marketing, selling and distributing such works. They are also the creators, managers, acquirers and custodians of numerous intellectual property rights, possessing certain rights in the books that they produce and sell, and holding rights on behalf of third parties.
To a large extent, the relationships in the publishing industry are traditionally managed on an individual, or rather on a one-to-one basis. Yet the increasingly widespread use of the photocopying technology has led to an explosion of the reproduction of printed works. Copying takes place everywhere and by everybody. Consequently, rights holders mandate organizations to manage their rights collectively. Such organizations issue licenses for the reproduction of literary and artistic works. They collect the fees, and channel them back to the authors and publishers. In the case of literary works, such collecting societies are known as Reproduction Rights Organizations (RROs).
The WIPO Academy offers a distance learning course on managing intellectual property in the book publishing industry, which serves as a basic guide to publishers who wish to increase their understanding of how to manage intellectual property rights in a business context.

Innovative Apparatus on the Street: Upper Frankford's Rural-Ready Pumper

There are many areas of the country where innovative pieces of apparatus can be found. Some of these vehicles are older, used units which were acquired and then heavily modified to meet local conditions and budget requirements. Others are brand new rigs which represent the latest in technology and safety and typically are larger and heavier in size than their earlier counterparts. Whether old or new, well-designed engine company apparatus should be set up to provide safety for the crew as well as provide a good accounting of itself on the fireground by carrying a number of pre-connected attack lines and appliances to develop the needed fire flow at incidents.
Our "Innovative Rigs on the Street" series started last year with a review of an engine company in Carlisle, PA in Cumberland County. A little farther to the west of Carlisle lays the Upper Frankford Fire Company which operates as Company 48 in Cumberland County. This fire company was organized in February, 1950 and originally operated with a used Dodge pumper that had been modified to carry a 350-gallon water tank for rural water supply. In later years the department acquired a 1967 American LaFrance 750-gpm pumper from Carlisle and rebuilt the apparatus by adding a Harrisburg Blitz Box which provided the unit with five crosslay hose beds. By the early 1980's the station was operating with a 1982 Ford/FMC pumper, a department built tanker on a 1975 Ford chassis and a classic 1952 Dodge brush unit that had been acquired thru the Pennsylvania Bureau of Forestry.
Today the Upper Frankford Fire Company is under the command of Chief James Salisbury II and protects all of Upper Frankford Township in addition to areas of Lower Mifflin, North Newton, Penn Township and West Pennsboro Township where the fire company responds in conjunction with the box alarm system utilized in Cumberland County. The department's current fleet of apparatus includes Engine 148, a 2008 KME Predator Challenger pumper, Engine 248 a Spartan Gladiator Four Guys engine-tanker equipped with a 1750-gpm pump and a 2000-gallon water tank and Brush 48, a 2000 Ford F-350 chassis equipped with a utility body carrying a Darley 150-gallon skid unit. Support units include a Chevy Suburban which is outfitted as an EMS first response unit and a 2009 Ford F-250 pick up which is utilized as a traffic control unit.
The newest apparatus, Engine 148, was designed by the members of the department's truck committee working closely with the local KME representative Lo Barrick. This unit has some unique features including a stainless steel body with a full-width hose bed that incorporates enclosed tunnel storage for both ground ladders and hard suction hose with over 260 cubic feet of enclosed compartment storage space. The apparatus is built on a 192-inch wheelbase with an overall length of 31 feet, 11 inches. The full-width hose bed design allowed for the unit to carry a wide assortment of attack lines, generator and light tower while maintaining an overall height of just 111 inches.
In And Around The Cab
The apparatus is powered by a Caterpillar model C-9 engine rated at 425-horsepower using a Caterpillar model CX-28 five-speed transmission. The front axle is rated for 21,400 pounds with the rear axle rated at 31,000 pounds. The Predator medium extended cab provides seating for six personnel with five seats equipped with secured SCBA brackets for the protection of the crew. The 12-inch raised roof provides approximately 65.50 inches of interior headroom height with an overall cab width of 96 inches.
The front bumper is equipped with a 5-inch front suction with a swivel as well as a 2-inch front trashline that carries 150 feet of 1-inch forestry hose in an enclosed aluminum tread plate compartment. In order to provide sufficient room for these components as well as the Federal Q-2B siren, air horns and electronic siren speaker, a 20-inch bumper extension was required.

The True Cost of Travel
I'm leaving for Lima, Peru in less than two weeks, and the trip planning is going strong. I've got a packing list ready, dug up all my backpacking essentials and I've briefed my dad on how things are going to go. We've decided to head north from Lima to spend a little time on the coast to soak up the sun, sand and surf for the first week or so. It will make for a nice holiday before the adventuring begins!
To be honest, there isn't that much to plan since I prefer more of a spontaneous and plan-as-you-go approach to travel. We've got our flights booked, and I will book us a hostel for the first few nights in Lima. I'm also arranging for airport pickup to the hostel since we will be arriving around 1am so I don't really want to deal with the taxis. They are notorious for overcharging or trying to bring you to a hostel run by their brother/best friend/third cousin instead of where you want to go.
For me, this is the first time I take an unpaid leave from work for travel. I went backpacking through Europe during university and I took six months off to backpack across South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand after graduation. But this is the first time where I actually have to consider the loss of income as a real expense. This got me thinking about all the other "hidden" costs of travel. This trip might end up costing me a lot more than I had anticipated.
Tangible Travel Costs
This includes your flights, accommodation, food, overland travel, activities and spending money while travelling. This is what I generally think of as the total cost of my trip, and makes up a large portion of the total costs.
Bonus Travel Costs
These are costs directly associated with your trip that are generally paid before your departure. This includes visa application fees, travel agent fees, travel insurance (don't travel without it!) and any immunizations you are required to get before you leave for your destination.
Travel Gear Costs
If this is your first big trip, then the amount of gear you need might add up to a lot of cash. Think luggage/backpack, packing cubes, travel-sized toiletries, travel towel, or new walking shoes that you will be spending hours a day in. Some of these items are non-negotiable for an efficient trip, so factor in these costs. This could also include the cost of a new camera, books for the plane, or going to the tanning salon to get a base tan for your beach getaway.
Recurring Bills
You may be gone but your lifestyle back home isn't going anywhere. You will still be left with the mortgage or rent payment, your car insurance, your cell phone bill, you cable bill and your gym membership fees. You may be able to put some of your expenses on hold while you are away, but there will certainly be some extra bills to pay, even if you aren't using the services.
On all my previous trips, my only recurring bill had been my cell phone. And on my 6 month adventure, I'd even arranged for someone to take over my phone and contract. So this cost will be quite larger than I am used to!
Lost Income Cost
This is the money you would have made had you stayed home and worked instead of taken a leave from work. For me this is actually the biggest chunk of change since I will be losing more income being away from work than I will be spending while away: South America is a pretty budget-friendly destination.
It kind of makes me cringe when I have to include this in my costs of travel. But the reality is, the money I'm not making while away is money that is not going towards my financial independence, and it's a big hit.
Lost Benefits Cost
If the loss of income wasn't a big enough hit, then there are also the lost benefits from taking a leave of absence from work. My employer doesn't cover their portion of my benefits package while on leave, so there's an additional cost there. I also don't receive any matched RRSP contributions from my employer, which is free money that I have to forfeit for the duration of my leave. Depending on your employer and their policy, this might be different for everyone, but it's definitely not a cost that I had ever considered related to travel before.
When you add it all up, the true cost of travel is much more than just the tangible travel costs. Compared to the days when I was a student, travel is much more expensive! It really does put the cost of travel into perspective for me. It is that much more motivation to create sustainable passive income streams and work towards reaching financial independence!
Are there any other costs of travel that I may have missed? Do you consider all these related costs when you budget for your trip?

omg so jealous. You're going to have an incredible time! It is WORTH the lost income!Reply
WOW, this is so awesome that you're doing this! Who cares about those costs. You're sitting pretty and can obviously afford to do this. That's what living below your means and prioritizing your spending will do.
Gosh, just like Bridget above, I'm seriously jealous as well. I wish I wasn't stuck in this Minnesota tundra this winter. It's been just brutal.
I'm already making plans for travel either this spring or summer.
I hope you'll continue to write on the blog while your away. We all will be looking forward to the posts coming.
Have a great time and I'll talk to you soon!
I love the holistic analysis. Opportunity costs are real but don't always make the way into our CBAs. (Presuming that we even do them!) Still, I'm glad you're going and think you'll love Peru. Be sure to eat some ceviche! Lots of great places in Lima.Reply
I am so jealous! And this is why I am so happy that I am able to just work from my laptop, because I can go places and still work. You will have a wonderful time though!Reply
Hi Noelle
What you are doing is amazing and probably the only chance you might get for such an extended trip. When I left for my Round the world in 2012 (wow time flies!), I was 32 and I sacrificed my career to do such a trip. You're much younger than me, so going away for a few weeks and losing out on income, benefits etc isn't such a big deal at your age in my opinion. I can't go away for weeks or months now as my priorities have changed since I came back late 2012, now I'm looking to buy my own apartment and getting promoted at work. So im taking holidays out of my work allowance instead. Also if I wanted to go, I'd have to leave my job completely, and it's hard getting a job in my field (IT) And I wouldn't be able to buy an apartment. You're lucky to be travelling with someone,(I think so) and better that it's family and male, I went alone for 10 months on my RTW but I dont regret it at all! best thing I've ever done in my life. Plus I was lucky to get unpaid leave from work with enough money to fund my trip, having worked through my twenties saving. So go enjoy! You're only young once.Reply
You're fortunate to be able to take leave like that (even unpaid) without having to quit your job or getting fired. I'm fortunate that I get five weeks of vacation (very generous in the US) so I'm able to take some nice long vacations. Most folks get two weeks — especially only a year or two into a career. Traveling, in my mind, is always worth the money!Reply
Have you considered the possible costs to your next job? This employer may be very understanding, your next may not. Especially taking a LOA in your first year. I hope this does not affect your future. Have an amazing time. One always needs holidays!Reply
For only five weeks?! Granted I am not from the US but I highly doubt it! If any employer views taking five weeks off as a problem, then gosh, there is something seriously wrong with the culture.
Sounds great. I think spending money on experiences is far better than tangible things. Have fun and keep us updated!Reply
I just have to chime in here once more to say some things:
This IS the right move. You live ONCE. And you're ACTUALLY LIVING as opposed to most people out there.
I cannot believe some of the things that have been said here. This is the way life should be lived. Of course, many people won't be happy that you're doing this but just remember you saved for it and you prepared for it therefore YOU CAN do this.
That's what preparing is for. You can make anything happen that you want (you know this).
You rock and I'm so excited to hear about your journey!
My gosh.. I want to call out so many people here.. I'm seriously upset with some of the things said. For crying out loud, this is YOUR LIFE and YOU CAN DO THIS. Who the flip cares what anyone else thinks of it in the future. I'm impressed that you've been able to make this happen and I'm sure many others will feel the same way in the future.
AND…. Just think of all the experience you'll have because of this. Experience that will give you a new perspective.. one that hardly anyone else has. Talk about competitive advantage in the marketplace…Reply
Ditto! I hate the general American attitude toward travel. Amanda, go forth and rock this. It will be priceless.
One of the benefits of travelling for six months was we were able to eliminate all those ongoing costs – rent, bills etc. We definitely could not afford to travel AND maintain our lives back home simultaneously. If you're travelling for less time the only option with those expenses I guess is to sublet if you can.Reply
What a fun trip! I'm in the same boat with time off. I freelance, so unless I want to take work with me for certain travel (and I have) I lose money going on vacation. I think there is also the fact that some people need pet sitters/people to watch their place when they leave.Reply
That sounds like a pretty cool trip! We have Peru and Machu Picchu on our to do list one day. It looks like you have a good handle on the costs (direct and opportunity costs due to missing work). Enjoy your trip! I doubt you'll ever regret the expense.Reply
That sounds like an amazing trip! I think a lot of those fees and such are definitely really hidden costs often that people don't think about… it is good you seem to at least know where all of the costs are going to be coming from. Hope that you have an amazing trip, looking forward to hearing more about it!Reply
I always try to sublet my apartment when I travel. Even if it's just a few weeks. It's a major way to help offset costs.Reply

Sparky Cookies
Wide-eyed, pointy-eared, and lively (thanks to a healthy dose of electricity), Sparky makes the perfect model for this bull terrier-ific treat.
prep time15 min
cook time15 min
total time30 min
Heat the oven to the specified temperature for the cookie dough. Meanwhile, print and cut out the template pieces.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to ¼-inch thickness and then use the template and kitchen knife to cut out a bunch of Sparky heads. Bake the cookies according to the recipe directions and transfer them to the cooling rack. Next, cut a pair of cookie dough ears for each head. Bake (they won't take as long as the heads) and cool them as well.
Melt ½ cup or so of chocolate chips or Candy Melts in a microwavable bowl, heating them for 10- to 15-second intervals until they are soft enough to stir into a smooth consistency.
Attach a pair of cookie ears to each head. First, flip the ears over so the flat undersides face up. Spread melted chocolate on the lower ¼ inch of each ear, and then stick them in place to the underside of the head.
Now add eyes. Working with one cookie at a time, spoon two nickel-size dollops of melted chocolate where the eyes go. Gently press a Mentos candy onto each dollop so that the chocolate oozes out a bit underneath it. Use the tip of a toothpick to add tiny chocolate pupils to the eyes. (Note: Your can reheat the chocolate in the bowl or melt a new batch, as needed.)
Attach a raisin nose to the tip of each cookie with a bit of chocolate "glue."
For the finishing touch, use the toothpick to apply chocolate eyebrows. Likewise, add a curved chocolate cut line on each Sparky cookie nose and embellish it with a few sprinkle stitches before the chocolate hardens.

Homes evacuated after flooding
Heavy rain overnight has left many areas flooded. West Sussex has been badly hit - the local fire service received around 150 calls.
Staff at Worthing Hospital had to pump out water from the basement. And although it did not have to evacuate, emergency cases are being diverted to Brighton and Chichester. Elsewhere people have reported flood water reaching up to a metre in height.
– Worthing Hospital spokesperson
"All the in-patients remained safe, warm and dry. Parts of the hospital, including the postgraduate medical centre and parts of our north wing were flooded in the basement areas. We are looking at flooding of up to 30cm, just under a foot.
"In terms of times, the hospital was first affected around 10pm last night when the heavensopened, as a result we diverted emergencies to Chichester and Brighton as a precaution. There was no need to evacuate anyone. The Fire Service and Southern Water have been here pumping water out with our own estates teams. As of 4.50am, it was pretty clear and we're trying to get the last of it out. We are still working on it. The hospital isopen, it's just emergencies that have been diverted."
Littlehampton, Bognor Regis, Angmering and Rustington are the worst affected areas.
A rescue centre was set up in the Sportsdome at Littlehampton Swimming Centre for some families who had to leave their homes because of the flooding. The centre is being run by Arun District Council with support from the Red Cross Fire & Emergency Support Service.
The fire service reported that the biggest impact was on Littlehampton seafront where a number of basement flats were flooded to a depth of up to four feet.
There are no reports of any injuries, but people are being urged to stay out of floodwater due to the dangers of lifted manhole covers and water contaminated with sewage.
The Environment Agency, Police and Southern Water are helping to deal with the flooding operation.

Problem creating OpenGL context on windows (C++) (self.opengl)
submitted 10 months ago by BizzyIzDizzy
I'm currently working my way from using freeglut to creating my own OpenGL context and window with windows api.
My question is:
If I wanted to create OpenGL 3.3 context and wglCreateContext returns it by default do I need to use it as temp context and create new one with wglCreateContextAttribsARB or can I keep the original one?
And also - If I need to create OpenGL 2.1 context and I get 3.3 with wglCreateContext trying to create 2.1 with wglCreateContextAttribsARB fails with ERROR_INVALID_PROFILE_ARB. Do I even need to use wglCreateContextAttribsARB if I want 2.1 context or can I count on wglCreateContext for any OpenGL versions below 3.0?
I can't get my head around this, but I've read that you dont need to specifically create 2.1 context you can just use the default one even if it's 1.x and use extensions for 2.1 functionality. But I have also found people using wglCreateContextAttribsARB for creating 2.1 contexts or higher with compatibility profiles.
[–]Azuvector 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago* (2 children)
Snippet from a project of mine that I haven't touched in months: http://pastebin.com/XFS05iKr
I don't know if this is "correct" or not, but I find it works well to grab the default(temp) context, then try to query for the specific context I need. Then either continue to use the default(temp) if that doesn't work, or discard the default(temp) and grab a new one.
There's really nothing much to lose by trying to get a pre-3.0 context explicitly, short of possible driver bugs. (Generally, don't plan for these, if they do come up, deal with them then.) Just consider the default/temp context you got to be your fallback point. If things work with extensions on that, they work. If you want to support doing things that way, then do. If not, don't and specify a minimum requirement.

Thanks=) Tried it on multiple computers and graphics cards (ATI, nvidia and intel) but everytime I get highest possible context version with wglCreateContext. But there is no evidence in any documentation that it will do that everytime... Is that windows specific or driver specific function?
[–]Azuvector 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago (0 children)
If it's wgl*, it's a windows-specific function.
If it helps any, I've seen wglCreateContext returning a lower version than wglCreateContextAttribs does. Nvidia, Windows XP. Don't recall the hardware I was seeing that on much more than that. I believe it's documented somewhere that that's expected behavior too.
[–]Overv 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago (6 children)
Perhaps noteworthy is that usually when people create a dummy window and context, they don't use it for just wglCreateContextAttribsARB, but more prominently wglChoosePixelFormatARB to get access to features like multi sampling.
[–]BizzyIzDizzy[S] 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago* (5 children)
Yea I was just exploring this option as I want to learn how to properly create OpenGL context 3.x+ with multisampling pixelformat enabled.
Is this really the correct procedure:
I was stunned to find out how overly complicated this procedure is. Is this the same on Mac and Linux? How does GLFW or similar libraries create context with multisampling and 3.x+ support?
I'm in disbelief that this is the only way... Please tell me this is not true=)
Oh and, If I understand extension loading correctly (I'm using GLEW for simplification and because even Valve recommends it), you have to initialize GLEW everytime you change context, because extension function may be on a different location in memory or smt like that. Is this also true and can you explain a little bit=)
p.s:. sorry about my english =)
[–]Overv 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago (4 children)
The procedure you've described is correct, there is no simpler way to do it on Windows. I don't know about the OS X situation, but on Linux it's much much simpler. On Linux you don't even need an OpenGL context to get the function pointers.
You are also correct about the repeated GLEW initialization. It is possible that different OpenGL versions and contexts have different function implementations and the pointers will differ. That's why you need to grab the function pointers belonging to the context you are using.
Your English is fine, by the way! I'm not a native speaker myself and still learning as well.
Thanks for all the help. I was really confused when I was writing this code based on specifications - I just couldn't believe that this is the way=)
[–]abelcc 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago (1 child)
Is deleting the window after using it for a dummy context and making a new one neccesary?
Guess it is because deleting the context after the extension load and making a new one seems to show the first pixel format.
[–]Overv 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago (0 children)
Yeah, you need a new window for a new pixel format. It's a Windows limitation AFAIK.

The Nets have been dynamite at home this season, sporting a 6-1 record, including a fifth-consecutive home victory on Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Elsewhere, the Oklahoma City Thunder host the Charlotte Bobcats, who may be the surprise of the season. The Bobcats are 7-5 this year, matching their win total from all of last year.
The eight-game Monday slate finishes up with a matchup between Chris Paul and his former team when the New Orleans Hornets visit the Los Angeles Clippers. Star rookie Anthony Davis will be out with an ankle injury.

Woman's legal action against Lewisham Council over Grove Park station
Updated 2:36pm Monday 3rd June 2013 in News By Mark Chandler, deputy news editor
A GROVE Park woman is taking legal action after finding out a year-long construction project will build a railway bridge right outside her home.
Karen Galloway, 47, of Amble Court Meadows, says she and her neighbours have not been consulted over the impending work at Grove Park station.
The project is part of the government's Access for All scheme, installing lifts, removing ramps and demolishing the old bridge.
But Ms Galloway, an epileptic, said she feared the construction would bring on an attack. She said: "My 80-year-old father had to travel miles from Scotland to come and look after me.
"The stress of it is making me unwell."
The NHS worker, who is now launching legal action against Lewisham Council, said: "They'll be working for a year at least and after that I'll have this big bridge obstructing my view.
"Had we known about this six months ago we could have come up with another strategy. It's about decency and respect for the community as well.
"I feel we've been bullied not just by Network Rail but by the council as well."
Ward councillor Cllr Suzannah Clarke said: "I think it's absolutely right that if a resident is going to have a big structure built within metres of her home then she should be told about it. All of the houses in that area should have been notified.
"People haven't been able to have a say about their local station. We're actually paying into Network Rail after all."
Cllr Clarke is trying to get the work halted and meet Parliamentary Under Secretary for Transport Norman Baker.
A Network rail spokesman said: "The work will be completed by summer 2014. Whenever we carry out improvement work, we do all we can to minimise the impact it has on our neighbours.
"We have written to local people and information on the scheme will be available throughout the work."
A Lewisham Council spokesperson said: "We are unable to comment as legal proceedings have been issued."
Cllr Clarke is also concerned about the loss of ramps and wants to speak to disabled people who are affected. Email email@example.com

There were many factors that hurt Mitt Romney and favored Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election. The Democrats portrayed Romney in the worst light possible; as a wealthy, out of touch millionaire who wanted to return women to the 1800's. The left wing media predictably did everything it could to perpetuate that false caricature. Obama's race was an advantage; voters of all persuasions, particularly minorities, still cannot get over the allure of the first black president. The 47% of Americans on welfare were predisposed to vote for the food stamp president over Romney, wanting the free goodies to keep...
In response to:
I AM THE DOOM KING and thanks to Obama I'm going to make a bazillion shorting the markets!!

On Wednesday, the Duplin County Sheriff's Office
announced the success of a year long joint investigation resulting in the
seizure of hundreds of prescription pills obtained by false prescriptions and
the arrest of eight women in connection with the forgery.
Deputies working with the State Bureau of Investigation
recovered over 1,900 prescription pills of such drugs like Percocet and
Adderral were obtained using forged prescriptions and taken to local and chain
pharmacies like Walgreens in Duplin County. The street value of the pills are
estimated to be nearly $20,000 dollars.
Deputies say Sarah Boone of Rose Hill wrote the false prescriptions and passed them on to six
other people who took them to pharmacies to get the prescriptions.
In September 2012, a deputy performed a stop and search
on a vehicle Boone was riding in. Inside, they uncovered 465 prescription pills
prompting the investigation.
After the traffic stop, the sheriff's office obtained a
search warrant for Boone's home where they found pills, fake prescriptions and
the computer used to make the prescriptions.
Seven people are charged including Boone with obtaining a
controlled substance by fraud or forgery. The eighth arrest is for conspiracy
charges with the initial traffic stop.
The deputies worked with the SBI to track down the false
prescriptions at all the pharmacies.
