To the Arctic, in IMAX 3-D theaters April 20, invites moviegoers on an unforgettable journey to the top of the world. The film, narrated by Oscar winner Meryl Streep, gives a sneak peek into the lives of a polar bear mother and her twin cubs. The bears' icy Arctic home is changing. Each day brings a new challenge in the family's struggle to survive.
TFK spoke to director Greg MacGillivray about making the documentary, which was filmed over a period of four years. He says the movie "is a tribute to mothers," especially those that are raising their young in the Arctic. "They have the hardest job in the world," he said. "With the melting of the ice, it's getting harder." Read on to learn more about what it was like for the crew to film in the harsh Arctic environment. (Scroll down to watch a trailer for the film.)
What inspired you to film in the Arctic Circle?
Very few people have visited there, so I thought it would be a terrific subject for an IMAX film. I've always been blown away by the beauty and the vastness of the Arctic. It's a unique place.
Did you go up there with a specific story in mind, or did you find the story along the way?
We went up with one story in mind and came back with another, which is often what happens in documentary filmmaking. You write a script so you can plan ahead and bring the right equipment. You do a tremendous amount of research. You interview all the scientists who work up there, and you interview the native people. Finally, you determine what your story should be and you go up and begin to film it.
When in that four years of filming did you come across the polar bear family?
We ran into the polar bear mother and her two 7-month-old cubs on our fifth trip up to the Arctic. She certainly was the smartest bear of the 130 bears we encountered. And she was a perfect mom: attentive, loving, caring, sacrificing, intelligent and just completely dedicated. It's beautiful the way in which the mothers treat their cubs. It's just like a human mother treats her offspring.
What made this polar bear mother smarter than the others?
I think maybe it was her third or fourth litter of cubs. Maybe she was a little bit older than the other polar bear mothers we saw. Whatever it was, she knew she didn't have to run away from us. She sensed that we weren't dangerous, so she didn't waste any energy getting away. She came right up to the boat and sniffed at us.
These are really big bears. Was there ever a time when the crew was scared?
We weren't scared on that particular shoot because we were on a boat that was high off the water. The polar bear mom only came over to us once. But we knew if we fell off the boat and she was near us, she was going to eat us. We're food, as is everything else there. We tried to stay at least 20 to 40 feet away all the time. Most of the time, we were hundreds of feet away. One of the rules of wildlife filmmaking is not to interfere with the natural activities of their lives.
When you follow these animals for a long time and then you see them in danger, is it hard to just watch and let nature take its course?
Absolutely. It was painful to see our favorite polar bear and her cubs being chased by a big male polar bear. He was twice as big, twice as heavy, faster and hungry. Thankfully, this polar bear mom stood her ground. She didn't let him get close to her cubs. She put her life on the line. But while that was happening, we were all thinking, "Oh, no." The family was chased four times when we were tracking them over that five-and-a-half-day period. We became so emotionally attached to them.
Do you hope audiences will connect with the bears in the same way you connected with them?
I want people to fall in love with the animals in the Arctic, so they'll want to help them. Part of our message is that the ice is melting up there, and we have to make changes and be conscious of the fact that the earth works as one big machine. In order to make it a healthy place for all animals, including us, we sometimes have to adapt how we live. If climate change continues at the same rate it's going, the polar bear will not be able to adapt quickly enough to remain in the Arctic.
What do you think audiences will enjoy most about the film?
When you see this film in 3-D on the gigantic screen, you'll feel like you're there in the Arctic. It's almost like going to the moon because it's so different. There aren't many wild places left in the world that haven't been swarmed over by people. The Arctic is one of the last places, and it is gorgeous.

Reviews of this property
Great appartement with really good explanations and touristic advices from Nicolas. I highly recommend this place.
Behind this classical french entrance and courtyard, oakwood brown billiardcoated stairways leads you to the intimicy of a styled well equipped 21th century appartment, giving you a sense of how life could be for an american in Paris or wherever you come from.
Great place to stay in Paris. Nicolas informed us very well in advance so the location was easy to find. We would like to use this appartment in the future.
Very welcome. Very nice apartment. Thank you to Nicolas
Très bon accueil. Appartement très agréable. Merci à Nicolas
sensational preparation using PowerPoint in terms of location, key collection etc. We were already allowed to leave earlier in the Cur and later, after consultation, as no guests came to us. Location perfect in Paris without ursprünglischem "Eiffel Tower Keychain" on every corner. Curr selst generous, bright and clean. With 4 floors without lift you burn the eclairs and other delicacies quickly. We recommend the home of Nicolas continue without restrictions and were not the last time there! A bientot!
sensationelle Vorbereitung mittels PowerPoint hinsichtlich Lage, Schlüsselübergabe etc.Wir durften nach Rücksprache bereits früher in die Whg. und später abreisen, da keine Gäste nach uns kamen. Lage perfekt im ursprünglischem Paris ohne "Eiffelturm-Schlüsselanhänger" an jeder Ecke. Whg. selst großzügig, hell und sauber. Bei 4 Stockwerken ohne Lift verbrennt man auch die Eclairs und sonstigen Köstlichkeiten schnell. Wir empfehlen die Wohnung von Nicolas ohne Einschränkungen weiter und waren nicht das letzte Mal dort! A bientot!
Beautiful apartment, true to the pictures and description, perfectly equipped. Quiet building!
We had a pleasant stay this district, very friendly and lively. The apartment is located less than 10 minutes walk from Montmartre.

Very good place that I highly recommend, for our part, when we return to Paris, we will not hesitate!
Magnifique appartement, fidèle à la description et aux photos, parfaitement équipé. Immeuble très calme !
Nous avons passé un agréable ce séjour, quartier très sympathique et animé. L'appartement est situé à moins de 10 minutes de marche du quartier Montmartre.
Les 4 étages avec les valises nous auront permis de nous muscler ;)
Mesdames, prévoyez une cloche de bain pour la douche si vous ne souhaitez pas mouiller vos brushings (pommeau fixé au plafond).
Très bonne adresse que je conseille vivement, pour notre part, lorsque nous reviendrons à Paris, nous n'hésiterons pas !

October 7, 2006, in Baghlan, Afghanistan
News reports said the pair's personal possessions were not taken. The area, though considered safer than other parts of the country, was still poorly controlled by the government and NATO forces in charge of security.
Local police detained two people for questioning, the Kabul-based daily Cheragh reported on October 12. The Interior Ministry, which led the investigation, said the precise motive was not immediately clear.

I got 19 really nice looking queen cells that are set to emerge on Friday April 22nd. Really surprised how easy it was. I had several that didn't take, but I believe that was partly due to the cell cups being brand new, that combined with the short time queenless state of my cell builder. Next go I hope to get a higher percentage.
Thanks to this forum for all the great information.

HDcctv Alliance Ratifies Latest 2.0 Standards
HDcctv 2.0 NR and AT standards are said to facilitate plug 'n' play and up-the-coax remote control.
By SSI Staff · March 3, 2014
SYDNEY, Australia — HDcctv Alliance, a video surveillance standards organization, has ratified the next generation of its high definition (HD) security video standard, HDcctv 2.0. The new specifications have been developed for equipment that can produce HD video without the need for IP cameras or Ethernet cabling within a secured premise, according to the Alliance.
HDcctv 2.0 provide alternatives which will offer end users the potential to achieve significant cost-savings in many surveillance systems, as well as high-fidelity HD video that is reliable and convenient, says Todd Rockoff, HDcctv Alliance executive director.
"There are two primary variants of HDcctv 2.0 — NR and AT. HDcctv 2.0 NR DVRs and cameras add plug-and-play up-the-coax remote control to the underlying HD-SDI format. HDcctv 2.0 AT delivers true HDTV signals over any legacy CCTV coaxial cabling, along with plug-and-play up-the-coax remote control," Rockoff says.
The Alliance is promoting its new standards to chip manufacturers, as well as camera and DVR manufacturers, to achieve new levels of interoperability for installers and end users.
"We're very excited about HDcctv 2.0 and the potential for flexibility it offers both end users and installers," says Yin Jun, Dahua's director of R&D. "HDcctv 2.0 AT, in particular, provides the means to upgrade any analog system to HD quality video with remote control without disturbing the legacy infrastructure."
Security practitioners who are in the business of designing and specifying surveillance systems are now able to work with HDcctv as easily as they worked with analog CCTV systems from 10 years ago, says Eyenix CEO Jon Hwang.
"Certified HDcctv-compliant products from a variety of manufacturers will always interoperate, without having to test all pair-wise combinations. This means convenience, peace of mind, and freedom of choice for installers and end users," he says.
The new standards where were approved by the HDcctv Alliance Board of Directors at a meeting in February. HDcctv Alliance will be exhibiting at ISC West in Las Vegas, held April 2-4.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Thats cute. Thanks for posting. Great for gifts.
where do you put this extra roll??
Cute idea, thanks for sharing!
If a woman's work is never done....why start?
Such a cute little handy dandy holder. I will surely try my hand at this right soon. Thanks for sharing. Your tutorial is great.
Abiding in the Vine
You hang the straps on the spindle on either side of the roll then pop the spindle back on it's holder. Or if you have the metal hook kind of holder, you slide one strap then the roll then the other strap.
If you make the straps too much wider they don't fit right and bunch up around the roll already on the spindle.
Very nice. I have used paper towel holders in my bathrooms. Each one holds 3 rolls. I got tired of yelling for toilet paper!!!LOL
Carmen E.
Thank you. These will make great last minute gifts.

Peter, thank you for your hospitality. The best thing in your apartment is a great location for exploring the historic districts of Vienna. I will recommend your apartment to all my friends who love Vienna and Austria.
Best regards.
This apartment was everything we needed in Vienna. Located in the 6th area, just 400m Westbahnnoff station and MariaHillferStrasse, it offer easy access to everywhere in Vienna - either by walking or public transport. The apartment is very comfortable, extremely clean and well presented, secure a joy to stay at. Peter was wa wonderful host, always accessible, informative and receptive to needs of his guests. He provided everything we needed in Vienna - maps, recommendations for eating and sightseeing and bikes which we really enjoyed having.
We would recommend the apartment to any couple for a Vienna stay and would stay again on our next visit. Thanks Peter!
Peter is very kind and pleasant fellow.
His house is comfortable like my house.
If I will go wien again, I w.ant to stay Peter's house again
Peter is an excellent host - not only did he meet us at the apartment and gave us a very helpful explanation as to how all the appliances work, he volunteered to,collect us as we left and drive us to the station. The apartment is well located near a major rail station. shops and restaurants and offers travellers a spacious, extremely well equipped and spotlessly clean place to stay. We would recommend this venue unreservedly to all considering a stay in Vienna.
Peter & Edith Fletcher
Peter was a superb host and was very helpful before and during our stay. The accommodation was terrific and spotless. Additional things like cable TV, a computer, coffee machine all added to our enjoyment. The apartment is also so convenient to the city centre.
what to say about Peters apartment? It is good, clean, with a Mac computer, convenient, big enough, good location, new.. perfect perfect perfect.
He is also a really wonderful host willing to help you at any time. two thumbs up!
This is definitely one of the best wimdu stays we've ever had. Peter is an incredibly accommodating host and the apartment provided everything we were looking for.
The bed is large (enough for my 198cm frame) and very comfortable, the kitchen is very well stocked, with an excellent coffee-machine, and the heating works efficiently and quickly.
The apartment is very well situated, with a great shopping area, supermarkets and very nearby access to the trains into the centre of Vienna.
Peter was very helpful when we needed an English speaking doctor, and came by at a moment's notice when we accidentally left our passports in the safe on dearture. Oops!
If we could give this apartment and Peter more than 5 stars, we would. We cannot recommend this apartment highly enough and would stay here again in a heartbeat. Excellent value for money.
This apartment is glorious! We had a delightful stay and Peter was very helpful from the very start.
The apartment is nice, clean, and modern, with the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in! The coffee machine and use of the Mac were also key highlights.
Its a great location - right near a major shopping street and easily walkable to the main sights, or very close to the Metro should you not fancy the walk.
I would definitely recommend and would stay here again in a heartbeat.
In a word - excellent!!!
My husband and I spent three days in Peter's apartment at the beginning of December. Even before our arrival Peter was very helpful and responsive with information that aided in our planning, and when we arrived he met us at the apartment to show us around. He also kindly lent us two bicycles so we could explore Vienna on two wheels, which was a great bonus.
Peter has thought of everything to provide a comfortable stay for his guests. The apartment is warm, super clean and very well equipped, with nice attention to details that make it all that more special. The location is excellent, and although very near a busy shopping area, the apartment (and the street in which it is located) is blissfully quiet.
We highly recommend Peter's place for your stay in Vienna.

I have a son named Landon Neil and am expecting my next one in October. We are set on Isla Fae for a girl, but stumped on a boy name. I would like the middle name to be Connally after my dad. I liked Rowen but I keep seeing as a girls name and that's kind of ruining it for me. I also liked Monroe but that's been voted out. Any ideas that sound good with these? Thanks
March 13th, 2013 09:47 AM #3
My first thought was Roscoe, but maybe also:
Fergus Connally
Tobin Connally
Brennan Connally
Teague Connally
Graham Connally
Ronan Connally
Tiernan Connally
Fletcher Connally
Declan Connally
Grant Connally
Riordan Connally
Lorcan Connally (though maybe a bit matchy with Landon?)
Rory Connally
Duncan Connally
Angus Connally
Alpin Connally
Miles Connally
Boyd Connally
Fife Connally
Griffin Connally
Archer Connally
Hamish Connally
Seamus Connally
Connally is a tricky mn to work with!
Hope this was at least somewhat helpful (also: Isla Fae is super cute)on my mind, for the moment

text: Oh. So because we stumbledcoming out of the gate we're not really all that good.....after WINNING, no less against a team that we were "supposed" to beat. Let's disregard the fact that we were literally 1 yard away from beating the Eagles. And please don't blame the coaches on that btw. Had Ramses not PIed and Eli made a better throw we win the game bc of PERFECT clock management. God forbid they tailor the plan with the assumption we all do our jobs. And the 9ers lost the freaking Vikings. Granted their record says they're a first place team, but so does/did the eagles and we only lost to them by 2 points as opposed to what I believe was a 10 point loss by the 9ers. Unreal. Very glad I never came on these boards before 2010. You guys must have been brutal. Those of you who didn't take the step off the ledge and are still with us, anyway.


text: All, It's a K2500 Suburban with 7.4L vortec. It has 140k on it. There is a small coolant leak where the intake manifold meets the block. It is right where the oil fill tube goes in. I check overflow bottle and it was empty...took rad cap off and filled with the 50/50 dexcool quick fill stuff. Then added to the overflow until it was at cold full level. Talked to my brother-in-law and he said to put stop leak in it. He said there is a risk in pulling the intake manifold with that high of mileage as debris can fall into the engine and cause other problems. Is this a common source of leaks with the 454? Any other suggestions? It is my father-in-law that owns the truck....I think he has an exhaust leak as well. He has the typical ticking sound under load and when we started it with the hood open strong exhaust smell. Thanks in advance for the help.

After watching Yu-Na's performance at the Olympics, Mr. Douglas, a Hollywood legend, wrote on his blog that Yu-Na's performance reminded him of his skating with Peggy Fleming at the Lake Placid Carnival. He said he had to skate across rink to the throne holding onto Ms. Fleming since he was the King of the Carnival and Peggy Fleming was the Queen. And he added, "I wonder if Yu-Na Kim will ask me to skate with her..." Anyway, what is the Lake Placid Carnival? Is it still held?

text: Anybody know what triggers the hive to start ejecting drones? I had a couple of queens (3) not get mated and am trying it again. I have 6 QC that should emerge on September 1. I still have drones (even in my nucs). Is it day length, weather, frost? We dont get rain here for the summer and not much is blooming other than queens Anns lace and some dandelions. Even the clover seems dead for the year. Never tried it this late so I never paid attention before.

Holy cow that's a lot of SHB's. Keep up the good fight and keep killing them!
Tell us how to set that up Please! Looks like polyester fiber over a queen excluder with some foam core board spacers - but it looks to me like you've hit on something that works whatever it is.

Isn't that a layer of those cloths that are available for household use in Australia? (chux, or something like that?) I've heard good things, and clearly they work.

To study and not think is a waste. To think and not study is dangerous.
Is it aquarium filter mat on top of a bee excluder?
How can a hive have that many beetles and NOT be overrun with larvae? Is this a joke?
Aha! My Googlefu has come through for me. http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/__data/ass...nt-options.pdf Page 4
And here is a thread on the felt type material and use; http://www.honeybeeworld.com/forum/v...t=276&start=10 I'm pretty sure i've seen these at Walmart.
Uhm, i gave it to you. Read my post.
Anyone else having trouble getting the honeybeeworld link to open?
The felt look's a lot like the handy wipes we use to get for kitchen cleaning?
I will be at WalMart tomorrow so I am going to be looking to see what I can find.
Just looked on WalMart's sight and Yes they have Handi Wipes and they look just like the photo of the one in the link in crsswift70's post.

hoot owl let us no how your wipes work would like to try this
Attaching more photos of the material. It is a type of table protector with thin vinyl/plastic on one side and a polyester weave on the underside which entangles the beetles. It is not a Chux.
The hive was heavily infested and I placed it under the lid on top of the honey super frames with the polyester side uppermost. From memory I bought it from a Spotlight store here in Australia, sometime ago, and you can Google them to see the type of stock a business like this carries.
I know that some of you need trauma counselling when you see just a couple of beetles in your hives but this hive was teeming with the little blighters and the hive was, in my view, teetering on the edge of a SHB takeover. The trap was on the hive for about 4 weeks.
Thanks - I have seen that kind of tablecloth backing. Gotta go find me some...

It occurs to me that some of that on top of a mite count board might have some real possibility.

@hknewmanLocale: Western US
The desert has seasons like every other biome (having lived and worked in various deserts – outside LA, AZ, NM, far west TX, and Kuwait/Iraq). One constant, I usually go with long pants after much experience with Thorns. Unless it is summer, I usually pack my mostly Patagonia layering system just due to wickiness , though I do have a snag-resistant zip T from MH if thorns are expected. Otherwise, in summer any old poly-cotton will do though i keep a synthetic shirt packed in case of rain. All in light colors. The high deserts (Chihuahuan/Great Basin) can be different (colder/dryer)than the low deserts (Sonoran/Californian), so I would ask you provide more geographic specificity. Summer is a rainy season so that needs to be accounted for though the Sonoran has more rain. Similarly there were even massive puddles sticking around a Bedouin tent in Kuwait( next to the Persian Gulf), so there may be a need for rain gear depending. Even in the US, check the weather. Deserts can get cold at night so don't forget insulation and checking the weather (when I returned to the US, I ran into snow from the outskirts of Los Angeles all the way to my base in El Paso. 1 month later, El Paso was colder than Green Bay.)
Add: maybe TMI but the desert is not always hot and dry.Aug 16, 2013 at 11:19 pm #2016024

I agree with the above. I'm an exOfficio and Columbia addict…. For hiking. The stuff lasts for years with care, light colored is best, desert hats with large brims and a cloth drape on the side and neck, long sleeves and pants to stave off sunburn and reflection. The fabric gets wet with sweat but cools a lot, sometimes too much in the shade!
It's easy to keep clean and wash. Does well in thorny country.
At home I wear linen all summer, it's just cooler. But not for hiking.
Oh and I forgot REI does make some comparable pants and shirts, but they don't last as long as the exOfficio clothing.Aug 17, 2013 at 10:06 am #2016106
MarkBPL Member
As said it really depends as deserts tend to go to both extremes of hot and cold during 24 hours.
If your walking in 40c+ temperatures then it's going to be tough for your body to rehydrate no matter how much you drink.
The answer is to wear a few layers, that way your trapping your sweat and making each drop work as effectively as possible to cool you.
A good indication of what to wear can usually be found at looking what the locals wear.
Usually their dress has been tailored for centuries to suit their environment.Aug 17, 2013 at 10:11 am #2016108
The best clothing for desert use can be very cheap. Go to a thrift store and pick up a button up shirt, athletic shorts, ball cap and bandana. Pants if you sun burn easily or need protection from brush.
Cotton works very well. Some hikers prefer synthetics in hot weather but I find them stifling and they can dehydrate you more quickly. I usually go all cotton on top, all synthetic on bottom. (cotton shirt, cotton hat, synthetic pants/shorts, synthetic underwear, synthetic socks). Moisture retention on your upper body will keep you cool while on your lower body it can cause chaffing.
Just my opinion/experiences from working summers in hot/dry weather.Aug 17, 2013 at 3:45 pm #2016179
There's a company called Sun Precautions that makes clothes/hats. Their "line" is called Solumbra; 100% spf fabric. Not a backpacking company per se. I've modified their full neck drape hat and like the fabric very much; big coverage, highly adjustable. Mosquito proof!Aug 17, 2013 at 6:18 pm #2016207

@minerLocale: SoCAL
I use Railriders brand clothing. Several of their shirts have mesh lining the sides and arms as well as a rear vent. I prefer their full button shirt since I can open some of them for ventilation. Used it on the PCT in 2009 and other then some darker coloration from my backpack, its still going strong. For Pants, I like their Eco-Mesh pants which have mesh down the pant legs which does keep you legs cool. When you don't want the ventilation or walk into town, you can zip the leg and hide the mesh. I found it cool enough on the PCT that I never felt the need to change to shorts once I got out of the desert and wore them all the way to the Washington border when I finally changed them out due to it being mid-September with cooler temperatures expected for the rest of the hike.
I live in Southern California and this is the stuff I still use in the deserts. They recently came out with their similar but lighter weight Bone Flats shirt and pants, but I haven't tried them yet. Everything is rated UPF 30+. As someone who is fair skin and burns easily, I find the sun protection more than enough.Aug 18, 2013 at 1:07 pm #2016353
I've modified a Sunday Afternoon sun hat by attaching the Sun Precautions neck shade to the inside of the hat with velcro. Well, a tailor did this. It's kind of overkill but this combo works really well for sun and mosquitoes. I like the wide brim of the Sunday Afternoon hat much better than the baseball-brim style hat that comes with the Sun Precautions hat; but I really like the neck drape of the latter. Hence the modification.Aug 18, 2013 at 3:15 pm #2016380

I did the opposite. Wear a shirt with a collar, and flip up the collar during sunny hours. This is worn with a Tilley LT5B.Aug 18, 2013 at 4:42 pm #2016401

@wildtownerLocale: Grand Canyon State
I live in Southern Arizona, so desert hiking is a given – I am assuming that what you're REALLY asking is "what should I wear in extreme sun/heat conditions"?
GIVEN THAT: I agree with the collared, lightweight, long-sleeved shirt idea (protects the back of the neck); I also tend to wear cotton shirts (either 100% or a 50/50 cotton/synthetic blend) for daytime, along with nylon pants (which don't get shredded by the plant life as easily). I won't even insult you by having to tell you to wear a brimmed hat! ;~) Sometimes, if I pass a water source (rare, but possible) I wet down the cotton shirt, and enjoy "air cooling" for the 15 minutes it takes to be completely dry.
No single company is going to supply all your clothes — the "rule of thumb" for desert comfort is looser, lightweight (but sun-blocking) clothes, and (although it's counter-intuitive) keep yourself well-covered (out here, tank tops & short shorts in the backcountry are signs of a rookie!). Once you follow these rules, any brand with a style/fit that you like is the right brand. And yes, one of my favorite hiking shirts actually came from a thrift shop, so money is not always a good predictor…Aug 18, 2013 at 7:09 pm #2016435
In my "research" I found that cotton is very often reported as not being a good sun block. I'd be curious to hear about spf values for cotton garments. My guess is that they would be very low. All of the sun shirts/pants that I know of are made out of fabrics other than cotton. However, I'd be delighted to find that I was wrong; I'd love cotton for everyday use here in sunny California!Aug 20, 2013 at 9:10 pm #2017128

For years I just used normal clothes such as 60/40 cotton poly. It works. No need for special clothing.
These days, since I am older and kids have left the nest, I have more expensive clothes. Also, since I don't need anything, family often buy me hiking clothes made by Ex Officio, Columbia, Patagonia, etc.
I like the Rail Rider stuff the best. So it is usually Eco Speed T or Eco-Mesh Shirt. Mostly wear Patagonia 5" Baggie shorts or sometimes Eco-Mesh trousers. The Ex Officio stuff really lasts well too.
Best bet is to go to the thrift store.
P.S. I hike hike most often in the lower Colorado/Sonoran desert, which gets a little hot each year.Aug 26, 2013 at 8:44 pm #2018886
just Justin WhitsonMember
I'm not a desert expert by any means, but do have some experience. I liked my light colored, long sleeved, collared button up linen shirts out there. Theoretically, i can't see why cotton-poly blends wouldn't work fine either.
I'm not sure why some people worry about the sun block protection of clothes so much, when i look rather stereo-typically Scottish of the Celtic-Highland stock (with reddish beard, light gray blue eyes, freckles and all), burn very easy, yet i don't remember a time when i got burned on my skin when that part of my skin was covered–even by.. "gasp" a pure cotton and thinnish shirt. I might not go to the desert that often, but i do frequent the beach down in southern VA plenty near Summer Solstice. Granted if i was in a Mexican desert on top of a mountain (or the like), maybe i wouldn't want a pure cotton shirt if i was going to be outside all day, but otherwise i personally wouldn't worry too much.Aug 26, 2013 at 11:46 pm #2018919

Cotton is generally not very good in the outdoors. Synthetic will start to stink if you get wet and don't dry out quickly or hike in it for a few days (and the smell will never go away completely no matter how much it's washed or how much bleach is used afterwards). So, I have switched to merino wool (Icebreaker).
Running shorts (synthetic), t-shirt, ball cap, bandana. For fall and spring add merino longjones, fleece sweater, rain pants, shell jacket, fleece hat, fleece gloves.
I hike in Utah. Temps can be very hot or very cold, it might rain or snow.Aug 27, 2013 at 1:36 am #2018926
Cotton is great in hot weather. I get that synthetics are more comfortable because they keep you dry, but cotton is going to seriously outperform nylon or polyester in keeping you cool and preserving your body moisture. The wicking action of synthetics dehydrate you faster.Aug 27, 2013 at 12:44 pm #2019090
just Justin WhitsonMember
"Cotton is great in hot weather"
Just a quick correction Justin, "Cotton is great in hot, very DRY weather". But yeah, i more or less agree with the rest of your post. Linen is also great in hot dry weather, and quite good in hot and humid weather. Re: desert use, it's perhaps more useful in the sense that it will provide more insulation from the Sun, more insulation at night for warmth, and slightly better u.v. protection (if you're worried about that kind of thing).
Haven't tried this yet, but would like to next time i get out there, but wear a tighter and thinner pure cotton shirt (black colored) underneath a looser, larger pure Linen (white colored) shirt in the desert. Might maximize one's moisture for cooling, with providing more than enough u.v. protection for even the most u.v. concerned person.Aug 27, 2013 at 1:21 pm #2019107

I like "5.11" tactical gear in nylon for their price and quality.
But RailRiders has the most options in design and probably the best quality – but you really pay through the nose for it.
That said you can see I like tough nylon for pants for protection from our nasty Mojave vegetation. Shirts can be polyester like REI's Sahara shirts.Aug 27, 2013 at 8:14 pm #2019278
I've never hiked in hot weather that wasn't dry. I imagine I would feel like a soggy wet mess.
The idea of an undershirt is interesting to me. I feel like it makes me much hotter but I see many people wearing them in the summer.Aug 27, 2013 at 10:45 pm #2019338

@fugitiverideLocale: Syldavia
It's all personal preference. If you look at the Badwater Ultramarathon, you will see some people wearing synthetics and others wearing cotton. More than just the materials, I also pay attention to the weight of the fabric. I don't like the military/tactical type stuff because I find it too heavy for my needs. I like something light and comfortable that won't chafe when covering lots of miles.
I personally wear REI Sahara pants and then some form of thin, long-sleeved, synthetic shirt. I have a 1/4 zip long sleeve jersey from Performance Bike and also a long sleeve heat gear shirt from Under Armour.
In the blazing sun, I also wear a shemagh around my neck to protect my skin and obviously a hat.

Looking at one of my hives, there were lots of orientation flights going on yesterday. The other hive was relatively quiet. Why?
Let me give some details. The busy hive holds a swarm that I captured 9 days ago. It is a TBH. They have been building comb like crazy, but there is obviously no brood hatching yet. It is equally obvious that since this is a captured swarm, all the bees have been out flying at least once. The second TBH has a swarm that has been hived for just 4 days.
I have a few sort of related theories. One is that the bees feel like they have built enough comb to meet their immediate needs and now they need to fill those combs with honey and pollen, so they are switching from comb building to foraging.
The second theory is that brood is capped, and there is less work for the bees to do inside the hive, so they are foraging.
The third theory is that the big honey flow is over from the fruit trees and they need more foragers to provide food for the colony.
My favorite theory is the first one. The second theory seems unlikely because there should be just as much brood to cap tomorrow as there was today and yesterday. The third theory is OK, although I though the main honey flow continued well into May usually?
Anybody have any other ideas or can you tell me if any of my theories are correct?

2013 story: City of Las Cruces officially supports the Fort Sill Apache's return home
LAS CRUCES, N.M. - Today the City Council of Las Cruces approved a resolution supporting the Fort Sill Apache Tribe's return to its New Mexico Homeland and its job creation efforts through the planned casino in Akela, NM.
The City Council voted today for the resolution: "A Resolution Directed to the Governor of the State of New Mexico and the Entire New Mexico Congressional Delegation to Show Support of the Governing Body of the City of Las Cruces, New Mexico, to the Restoration of the Fort Sill Apache Tribe to a Portion of its New Mexico Homeland with all Rights Natural and Historical Associated to the homeland."
By passing the resolution, the Las Cruces City Council supports the restoration to the Fort Sill Apache of the same rights that other New Mexico tribes and pueblos enjoy. The City Council supports what the tribe chooses to do on its homelands including the right to engage in economic development activity that supports the Tribe and surrounding communities.
"I am pleased that the Las Cruces City Council recognizes our rights as a sovereign nation and supports our return to New Mexico," said Fort Sill Apache Tribal Chairman Jeff Haozous. "As we continue to fight to regain the rights that are naturally and historically ours, the passing of this resolution gives us support from our neighboring community. We look forward to receiving support from the Governor as well."
Today, a 30-acre parcel of land at Akela, New Mexico, 40-miles west of Las Cruces is the extent of the Fort Sill Apache's restored and federally-recognized homeland. Although the Tribe's desire to establish a casino on that site has been withheld, Las Cruces is now in support of the economic benefits the Apache Homelands Casino would bring to the region.
When it's available, a copy of the official resolution will be posted for review on the Fort Sill Apache New Mexico Website.
The Fort Sill Apache Tribe is the successor to the Chiricahua and Warm Springs Apache people that lived in Southern New Mexico until 1886, when they were forcibly removed and held by the U.S. Government for 28 years. The Fort Sill Apache are descendants of those people who, upon their release in 1914, remained in Oklahoma and maintained their status as independent Chiricahua Warm Springs Apaches until the Tribe was restored years later as the Fort Sill Apache Tribe. The Tribe has long expressed its desire to return to its legally defined homelands.
For more information and updates on the Tribe, please follow us on Twitter (@FortSillApache) and visit www.fortsillapachenewmexico.com.

video screens, talking to one another across the width of the planet
using wireless, flip-top communication devices and instantly
accessing obscure bits of information by making simple queries to
their computers. Yet today these scenes are commonplace. So it is
fitting that two new high-tech devices also have eerie similarities
with fictional technology first presented on that venerable
science-fiction series. Remember how Enterprise landing
parties always carried "phasers," weapons that could
conveniently be set on "stun" when less-than-deadly force
was needed? And do you recall the invisible doors that mysteriously
kept air in the ship's shuttle bay from whooshing rapidly out into
space? Such marvels are now reality—or almost.
The phaser look-alikes expected to be appearing soon are similar in
principle to equipment that law-enforcement officers have long been
able to purchase from an Arizona company named, appropriately
enough, Taser International. Taser guns fire two small darts, each
trailing fine wires. After these projectiles strike their target,
this nonlethal weapon uses the newly established electrical conduits
to give the person caught in the crosshairs an electric shock, which
disables without killing. The newer generation of stun weapons will
dispense with the clumsy darts and wires entirely. In their place,
they will use lasers to generate conductive channels of ionized
air—raylike beams of plasma—through which an electric
shock can be administered.
This general strategy, having a laser induce ionization and thus
allow for the conduction of electricity, has for decades been the
Holy Grail of scientists and engineers seeking to control lightning.
They have longed to be able to generate a conductive path between a
thundercloud and the ground, which could harmlessly drain off the
buildup of charge that otherwise might strike a sensitive facility,
say an electric-power substation or an airport control tower. A less
ambitious goal is to create a shorter "laser lightning
rod" that could be deployed at the flip of a switch. The main
hitch early on was that ordinary lasers do too good a job at
inducing ionization, which then makes the air opaque to the light
beam. But more promising results have been achieved using lasers
that emit extremely short pulses. Last December, for example, Roland
Ackermann of Université Lyon 1 in France and 15 colleagues
reported in the journal Applied Physics Letters their
success in ionizing a path in air that served to channel an
artificial electric discharge. This recent experiment is notable
because it was carried out under conditions of simulated rain. The
length of the laboratory discharge was only about a meter, so this
technology has a ways to go before it can be used to control real
lightning bolts. But the same principles are now being apply in a
phaser-like way.
Just as Ackermann's paper was being published, an Arizona company
named Ionatron demonstrated the use of laser-guided electric
discharges in something it calls a "portal denial system,"
which can be set up in a corridor and switched on to prevent
intruders from passing through. Three beams in this system create a
virtual electric fence that spans the width of a hallway. Steve
McCahon, Ionatron's executive vice president for technology and
engineering, explains that the company's system demonstrated
nonlethal levels of deterrence but "that doesn't mean you
couldn't turn it up."
Are guns next? According to the boldly written claim on its Web
site, "Ionatron intends to use our compact, non-lethal LIPC
[laser-induced plasma-channel] technology to replace guns as the
weapon of choice in close-range defense." McCahon confirms that
"the thrust is extending range." Exactly how much range
Ionatron has been able to achieve with such a weapon is being kept
secret. And it's unclear whether the sophisticated lasers needed
could ever be made very small. Still, it seems reasonable to
anticipate that in the not-so-distant future, military or
law-enforcement officers might be caught uttering the phrase
"phasers on stun" in all seriousness.
Similar physical principles are behind a second Star
Trek-like technology now coming into use, something called the
"plasma window," which is the brainchild of Ady
Hershcovitch, a physicist at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
Hershcovitch conceived of the plasma window to serve in
electron-beam welding, a technique used to fashion metal welds that
are narrower and deeper than what can be accomplished with
conventional tools.
The chief drawback of this technique is that the electrons used for
welding must be accelerated in a vacuum (just like, for example, the
electrons that light up the front of a television picture tube).
Hence the objects being welded together must normally be placed
within a sealed chamber from which the air has been extracted. With
that constraint, one cannot make welds to, say, the deck of a
battleship. Even for small work pieces, pumping down the vacuum
chamber each time an object is inserted is time-consuming, making
this form of welding rather costly.
To get around this difficulty, some have tried a variation of
electron-beam welding that has the electrons accelerated in vacuum
but the welding done at atmospheric pressure. Such systems rely on
bulky, energy-hungry vacuum pumps to maintain the pressure
differential between the source of electrons and the work piece. So
they are awkward and costly to operate. What is more, the electron
beam has a troubling tendency to spread out once it passes into the
air, negating the fundamental advantage of electron-beam welding in
the first place. Last May, Hershcovitch and colleagues at Acceleron,
a company in Connecticut licensing his invention, described in the
journal Physics of Plasmas how to sidestep these problems,
making electron-beam welding that much more practical.
The trick is to send the electrons out of the welder through a
window that is made up of nothing more than an electric discharge
channeled through a length of ionized gas—that is, a plasma.
The temperature of the plasma is searing (about 15,000 kelvins), so
it can counterbalance atmospheric pressure even though its density
is only two percent of normal air. The low-density plasma offers
little resistance to speeding electrons passing through it, making
it the perfect window for an electron-beam welder.
Hershcovitch had this idea more than a decade ago, but only recently
did he realize that a plasma window could also counteract the
nagging tendency for the electron beam to spread out as it moves
through the air. The reason is that the electrical current used to
heat the plasma sets up a sizable magnetic field, one that exerts a
radial force on the electrons in the beam. As chance would have it,
Hershcovitch initially had the polarity of this current set in such
a way that the magnetic field inside the plasma window made the
electron beam spread out more than usual. But he soon realized what
was going on. After asking himself, "How stupid can I
be?," Hershcovitch reversed the polarity of the current and was
delighted to discover that his plasma window acted to focus the beam
tightly, thus circumventing the second roadblock to electron-beam
welding in air. Hershcovitch notes modestly that this is a good
example of a common principle: "It's better to be lucky than to
be smart."
Phaser-like weapons and ethereal vacuum windows will surely not be
the last Star Trek technologies to come to life. What's
next? Myself, I'm looking forward to those anti-gravity handles:
Hand trucks are such a pain to use on stairs.—David Schneider

Strong winds again buffeted the sailors in the Oceanbridge Sail Auckland event yesterday, Olympic gold medallists Jo Aleh and Polly Powrie, the only females entered in the 470 fleet, comfortably winning their class.
Winds gusted up to 30 knots, but all 15 fleets sailed - unlike Monday when many races were cancelled.
Aleh and Powrie won the 470 class by 12 points. Their worst result was second over the regatta. Paul Snow Hansen, who was fifth in the men's 470 at London last year, finished the regatta in second overall with stand-in crew Chris Dawson. The pair finished tied on points with James Turner and Carl Evans.
The 49er men's division was won by New Zealand Olympians Peter Burling and Blair Tuke, while second place went to their New Zealand sailing team training partners Marcus Hansen and Josh Porebski, who beat Burling and Tuke only once.
Markus Somerville and Jack Simpson in the 29er too had a near perfect regatta; a second place finish in one race yesterday became the only one of the event they didn't win.
Nicholas Goyard had a similar result in the RS:X 8.5, although his only loss was on the first day of racing.
The only three competitors to win every race of the regatta were Olympian JP Tobin in the RS:X 9.5, and Paralympic sailors Paul Francis in the 2.4mR fleet and Australian Genevieve Wickham with NZ paralympic coach Charlie Baillie Strong in the SKUD 18.
Australian sailors also took home the trophies from both the Laser class (Ash Brunning) and Access Liberty (Russell Phillips).
The Laser Radial fleet was convincingly won by Andrew McKenzie, who excelled as the breeze picked up on the last two days of racing when he won every race.
The 420 division was won by Taylor Balogh and Samuel Lee.
On the final day of Kiteboard racing, Tauranga's Torrin Bright stretched his lead on the fleet of 20 riders with six race wins in a row.

One possible escape is to put the game in the larger context of evolutionary biology, where Prisoner's Dilemma offers a framework for understanding how cooperation might arise in an environment that seems to reward only selfishness. The Darwinian mechanism "closes the loop" on the game: Each agent's probability of success or failure depends on the composition of the entire pool of players, but the composition of that pool depends in turn on which players succeed and fail.
Soon after the Press-Dyson report appeared, Christoph Adami and Arend Hintze of Michigan State University tested various zero-determinant strategies in an evolutionary simulation. The coercive strategies did well against certain opponents, but eventually they were displaced by other players, most notably Pavlov. The reason is that a "nasty" player can become a victim of its own success. The reward for winning in an evolutionary game is to become more common in the population, with the result that you encounter more members of your own species. Dictators and extortionists do not thrive in that environment. Thus Adami and Hintze concluded that zero-determinant strategies are unlikely to evolve in the wild.
But this is not the end of the story. It turns out that not all zero-determinant strategies are weapons wielded by brutes and bullies. Alexander J. Stewart and Joshua B. Plotkin of the University of Pennsylvania have identified a set of "generous" zero-determinant players that form a mirror image to the extortionate ones. An extorter tries to claim more than his or her fair share, but when this gambit fails must accept the low payoff for mutual defection. A generous player offers to accept less than a fair share of the average payoff as an inducement to mutual cooperation. In other words, the generous player is willing to be a patsy if that's what it takes to secure cooperation.
Generous behavior might seem like a maladaptive invitation to abuse, but Stewart and Plotkin found otherwise. In a series of evolutionary experiments, the generous subset of zero-determinant strategies were the dominant species in all contests except those with a very small population (fewer than about 10 individuals). Stewart and Plotkin went on to prove that generosity is a "robust" strategy, able to establish itself and proliferate in a diverse population and then repel invasion attempts by others. Apparently it pays to put up with a little unfairness if that leads to greater opportunities for beneficial cooperation.
Is that the moral of the story? The players of these games are very simple and mechanistic; they are algorithms, not personalities. Nevertheless, it's hard to resist giving them value-laden labels such as "extortionate" or "generous." Axelrod's analysis of tit-for-tat clearly echoes the fundamental principle of lex talionis: take an eye for an eye (but no more than that). The evolutionary results of Stewart and Plotkin hint at a new dispensation: Mercy is greater than justice.

It's our last day with the rental car today. We pull a marathon tourist day, driving about 5 hrs to get to what is called 'The Golden Circle". It's the area that most tourists to Iceland visit. It's not far out of Reykjavik and there are some beautiful sights...At first I was skeptical since it's the most publicized area to tour, but in actuality the sights are quite amazing. After some more back country roads (still trying to find that elusive 'short cut'), we get to Pingvallavatn, the site of the old Parliament...it's where lots of history took place, like should the Pagans turn to Christianity?, for example... There's a beautiful lake there (the vatn part of the name) - again right along the fault line so it's a hot spot, and as always, a gorgeous waterfall, and -my favorite - another geothermal plant, Nesjavellir.. We drive up amidst all the spewing steam and mineral rich waters and even though it's late Friday afternoon, I'm hoping to get a tour. But it turns out there's an unruly group of middle-schoolers there so the guide is busy. She asks us to take OURSELVES on a tour around the plant. Remember what I said about access? How security is just not as pervasive around here. Here is this power plant that provides energy for most of the people in the country and we're strolling around on our own
So after Pingvallavatn, we cruise over to Geysir and Gulfoss. I've included some video clips I took with my camera so you can feel like you were there. I could watch Geysir erupt over and over again and not get bored. In fact I've played this video for myself probably a bit excessively. Actually it's the geyser Strokka - Geysir doesn't erupt as often so Strokka is the star of this show. Every 4 minutes or so. It rumbles and gurgles just like your stomach does when you're nauseous... getting more expressive as the minutes pass until suddenly - big belch, it all comes up, way in the air and we all feel better....I can actually feel it in my stomach...very visceral experience. And once again, you can get right on top of the thing. No security measures separating you from the action. Same is true with Gulfoss. It's this magnificent waterfall that has two sets of falls
Before heading to Reykjavik, we stop at this place called Solheimar. This, Sue M., is your social experiment playing as reality. It's an intentional eco-community of about 100 or so with half the residents being mentally or physically challenged. It's a very beautiful community- the houses are nestled in more vegetation than I've seen anywhere else in the countryside. There are all the facilities one might desire for a high quality life - a well equipped art studio, a gym, greenhouse, hot tub/pool and a big glassed in dining building. There are even some huge xylophones made of tree trunks hanging in the yard which are irresistible, so we don't. I think I need some in my own backyard
We're back in Reykjavik at the end of a week or so of looping around the country. I feel like I've gotten a really good feel for this place, I've been to the key places - except for Snaefellsnes, got to get there - just need a sunny day with no wind...simple but not always easy to come by in this land.

High School Teacher Selected to Attend Supercomputer Conference
FAIRBANKS, ALASKA -- Just how big is the technology leap from using desktop computers to supercomputers? Soon Delta Junction High School computer teacher Jack Detzel will know the answer.
Detzel is the only Alaska teacher among 75 selected nationally to attend a high-tech computer conference in Portland, Oregon, in November. "I'm pumped. I'm really excited," he said.
Detzel runs the high school's lab that has 25 desktop computers made by Apple Computer Inc. At the conference Detzel says he'll learn about supercomputing and share what he learns with his students.
The Delta Junction teacher will attend Supercomputing '93 - an annual conference organized to advance supercomputing technology. To encourage teachers K-12 to participate, the conference pays for airfare, lodging and registration.
The education program gives educators a three-day, hands-on introduction to high-performance computing and computational science. The high-tech supercomputing conference will be held November 14 - 16, 1993.
The Delta Junction teacher was recently recognized for helping his students make a computerized video, sound and text presentation of the Alaska Permanent Fund Corp.'s annual report and education materials.
The University of Alaska's Arctic Region Supercomputing Center will have a research booth at Supercomputing '93 and will present current scientific research being done on the center's CRAY supercomputer.

Downtown Redmond chooses pain now, gain sooner
City will shut Sixth Street to get disruptive project done quicker
REDMOND, Ore. - After three weeks of construction with limited one-lane traffic, starting Monday, Sixth Street in downtown Redmond will be fully closed to traffic between Antler and Deschutes avenues -- a bid to speed the improvements and get back to normal faster.
"It's tough, and we just hope the locals don't forget about us," Urban Legends owner Sandi Slawosky said Friday.
"We're coming off a very bad economy, we were just starting to come back, we were just starting to be able to breathe again," said Gilbert's House owner Jude Anders-Gilbert.
"My first thoughts were, 'No way -- we can't make it worse than it already is," Slawosky said of the decision to close the street.
Safety risks, including flying debris and a narrow lane, prompted the city to stop allowing one lane of traffic through.
The city council held an emergency meeting Friday morning to discuss the pros and cons, and to hear feedback from the business community. Councilors then voted to close the one lane that was open.
"The proposal is go to two (lanes shut), close it all, get it done," said Mayor George Endicott.
The city is fixing infrastructure under the road, pouring concrete and updating sidewalks and benches.
