Great story Ben. This is the kind of story I'd like to see more of at BPL, because for me it embodies what it is that I love experiencing out there and brings a very human aspect of walking to the discussion. Sometimes I think we all spend way too much time talking about gear and not nearly enough time telling the stories that have us sitting around the fire until deep into the night. I especially loved hearing about the camaraderie between the three of you. Gear doesn't make a good story, but antics between people do. Thanks!Sep 26, 2007 at 2:55 am #1403634

I did want to ask about your beaked tarp. After being anxious about it when you started out and then using it in some heavy weather, how do you feel about it now. Would you happily go on a trip like that again with it, or would you change anything about it, or would you ditch it altogether and get a more enclosed shelter? I'm asking because I'm thinking of making something similar to it for similar use.Sep 26, 2007 at 7:44 am #1403650

Ben, I loved the story, too — you're a great writer. I enjoyed the psychological angle of hiking with others, as well as the scenery/weather (from the comfort of my air-conditioned room).
Question about the food: had you tried your meals at home beforehand, and then found them lacking in the field? Or were they untested recipes? I've had the the "completely unpalatable after long day of hiking" experience even with things I enjoy at home.Sep 26, 2007 at 7:48 am #1403652

Thanks for an article which is written by and for "the regular folk". It is my estimation that members of BPL want to hear stories about both "expedition members tackling the Alaska back country" as well as "three guys on a backpacking trip". Your story is symbolic of this duality in that the members of your trio represent varying levels of experience, fitness, age and more. Your words are down to earth, from the heart and real. Thanks for a peak into your trip and your world.

Kudos on a successful trip. The Weminuche is an awesome and serious piece of wilderness.
The last time I tried to ultralight there in early September a few years ago (hoping the summer lightening season would be petered out by then) a freak blizzard drove us down off the divide on the second day. Above 11,000' the snow was piling up quickly, too deep for ventillated trail runners. Waiting for the train to Silverton at Elk Park, I was edified to see traditionally geared-up backpackers also bailing. By the time the train arrived over a dozen backpackers wisely made the decision to get out of the high country. The best piece of gear for that trip would have been an accurate weather forecast.
Ultralighters and DIY gear users have an emotional investment in their kit that maybe makes successes higher and failures deeper, but I've seen heavy duty factory-made gear fail to perform as well. Nothing like real mountains to test gear and technique.
I've had a few days at altitude where the only thing I could eat was peanut M&Ms. Kept me going. I love 'em. I deliberately avoid them except on outings so I don't get sick of them.
I'd trade 5 podcasts for one well written article like this.Sep 26, 2007 at 6:11 pm #1403771
Chris BogartMember
I laughed out loud several times reading the story of your hike and couldn't help comparing it to those I have taken with my own kids. It truly is the experience more than the gear but having a lighter kit has helped me enjoy the times more 30 years after Philmont and scout camp. Hope you can continue to learn from each other and enjoy the trail. Thanks for sharing…Sep 26, 2007 at 8:22 pm #1403797

for father and brothers hiking together! Great trail and gear report — and thanks for sharing with us!Sep 27, 2007 at 5:46 am #1403827
Thanks everyone, for the kind comments. A couple of responses:
Roger – that's what I keep telling him!
Miguel – re: the tarp. Actually, after that experience I'm going with a poncho tarp from now on. The pitching flexibility would have been much more valuable than the beaks, IMHO. And when I was hunkering down dodging lightning, a poncho would have kept me and my pack a lot drier than any rain jacket, regardless of the wind.
Heather – I had NOT tried these specific recipes at home. I think that the food was pretty mediocre, but the big altitude jump and my fatigue contributed more to my food being inedible than the actual flavor.
Sam – right on! Coming from a guy who just finished a 1200-mile hike…
Frank & co – re: podcasts, we actually will have podcast transcripts available very soon. We already have a lot of them transcribed, so once we hash out the details of how to format and publish them they'll be available on the site. I love being able to read the transcripts – gives you a whole different feel for the people and places, and yes, it's much less time-consuming to read than to listen.
Neil – wow, that sounds epic! We were early for any serious snowstorms. After the storm on the ridge, we spent about 2 hours hiking through a gigantic Slushee – the trail turned into a muddy mix of ice-cold water and hail. Made for cold feet hiking in mesh trail runners. Interestingly enough, what I craved on those hard days was salt – lots and lots of it. On one day, I found myself fantasizing about just eating straight table salt off my hand! I should have brought more Fritos or CornNuts – those seemed to do the trick for me.Sep 27, 2007 at 7:09 am #1403835

@sarbarLocale: In the shadow of Mt. Rainier
It was very funny :-)
Btw, I noticed you said the part about salt. A big reason you may not wanted to eat was the lack of salt and potassium. (And of being dehydrated as well). Altitude and hard days can add up where nothing looks good.
The freeze dried meals your brother ate are carbs and salt mainly, easy to eat and easy to digest. A small cup of soup works the same way.
I carry potato chips for this reason. If I have no appetite and not wanting to drink, I eat a bag of them. The potassium/sodium kick in them often perks me up in a couple minutes and I find myself hungry and wanting to drink. Food looks better, etc. Try it next trip! It works :-)
A meal of mashed potatoes works similar also!Sep 27, 2007 at 7:51 am #1403844

Yum, tato chips (and salty soup). I eat these smashed to bits on long rides/races to reset the sweet tooth. Delicious.Sep 27, 2007 at 3:30 pm #1403888
Sarah, thanks for the ideas! I was not dehydrated (chugging like a camel, in fact), but was definitely low on salt and potassium. I'll have to try potato chips, though corn chips sit better with me. After this experience, I'll be putting a lot more thought into food in the future. Or I may do what my brother did…
… which was to eat Mountain House or Backpacker's pantry meals every night. He had different ones, but the alfredo pasta and spaghetti were devoured with particular relish.

Milwaukee County has created a disc golf course that provides access for people in wheelchairs.
The course offers three holes on relatively flat terrain and shorter distances on the grounds of the Wil-O-Way Center, 10602 Underwood Parkway, Wauwatosa.
"The Underwood Course hugs along the pathway and offers an opportunity for wheelchair users to play the game," said Tim Ochnikowski, assistant director of the county's Office for Persons with Disabilities.
The tee markers, where people drive their discs, and the baskets that serve as holes are up. With no snow on the ground people of all abilities can play the course this holiday season.
The county also created a disc golf course at the Grant Park Wil-O-Way Center in South Milwaukee.
"The Grant course is more challenging as it requires more use of going over grass," Ochnikowski said.
Beginning disc golfers will find the Underwood Course provides a good learning environment or a practice ground for one's short game, he said.
The courses are open to the public as long as the facility isn't reserved for a group outing. Admission is free, and players need to bring their own discs.
The website, County.Milwaukee.gov/WilOWayDiscGolf, provides information about both courses and has a scorecard that can be downloaded.

Masterpieces from the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia
This 18-part series on the Hermitage Museum will be shown in 9 classes, starting on December 7 until March 29, 2017. It is the most complete historical overview of art ever produced, according to its producers. Since many of us will never go to St. Petersburg, this is a great opportunity to see this incredible museum, its architecture and contents in a very up-close and personal way.
The palace was originally built in 1754 for Empress Catherine II, but now is a state museum of 6 huge buildings, and the home of more than 3 million works of art collected over the past 250 years. Somehow these treasures survived the Napoleonic wars and other wars of the 19th century, the Russian Revolution, and World War 1 and 11. We will see that some parts of the buildings were bombed, but subsequently rebuilt, and treasures looted and some returned.
The camera will take us over the 9 sessions to view the collections, from ancient cultures like Mesopotamia, Greece, Egypt, China, as well as the art of the Middle Ages and the European Renaissance. Raphael, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rubens, van Dyck, Rembrandt, Velazquez, El Greco, Impressionist artists, Picasso, Matisse are just a few of the many artists whose works we will see. Get ready for a fascinating trip through time with splendid close-ups and analyses. Besides, attending these classes is much cheaper than flying to Russia!!
Dec. 7 Palace Architecture
The series opens with a historical tour of many of the public rooms of the six buildings, as we learn about how it was built, the history of the era and how Catherine the Great wanted to impress her people and establish her place as an "enlightened" yet despotic ruler in Europe, like the French and Spanish monarchs. You will compare the excesses of this huge palace with those of Versailles.
The second session highlights masterpieces in the collections. We will see the evolution of style and techniques, as works are acquired over the centuries. Medieval frescoes, paintings of the early and later Italian Renaissance, Netherlandish still lifes, and even (everyone's favorite) landscapes of 18th century Venice, and 19th century Paris and England. We can discuss your favorites and see if they match the tastes of the Russian Czars!!
Dec.21- Russia at the time of Peter the Great and Decorative Arts of Italy, France and England
Even though Peter the Great (1672-1725) lived before the palace was built for Catherine II, he was the czar who transformed Russia from its medieval isolationism, and brought it into contact with Europe and its culture. He was the founder of St. Petersburg and the creator of a new "Russia". His ambitions for Russia, military, social and cultural, are immortalized in many rooms throughout the Hermitage, through paintings, his architectural designs for buildings, naval ships, etc.
The next session highlights the Hermitage's collection of the decorative arts through the centuries, looking at works from Italy, France, and England. The Russian czars collected pieces of silver, glassware, plates, furniture and tapestries from the baroque, rococo and classical eras. They are all displayed in their excessive splendor. We will see how these works reflected the wealth and cultural aspirations of each czar and age, regardless of the cost to all the peasants and serfs in that country.
Jan. 4 – Ancient Art of Mesopotamia, China and Egypt
Like most Europeans, Russians were fascinated by the beginning of civilization, going back to the ancient cultures of Mesopotamia, China and Egypt. The czars collected ancient artifacts, and we will see 200 years of collecting various artifacts. Ancient Mesopotamia with its Sumerian and Babylonian cultures, ancient Persia, and India created many forms of art, interpreting their civilization and beliefs through their art. We will see frescoes, Persian miniature painting, cuneiform tablets, sculptures, war artifacts , all reflecting the daily lives and religious beliefs of their times.
The second session focuses on the art of Ancient Egypt. Their civilization devoted itself to the gods, the pharaoh who was the incarnation of the gods, and the afterlife. Most of their art and buildings reflected this focus. The Hermitage collection has rooms of mummies, sculptures and various artifacts, found in tombs and brought back to Europe.
Jan. 18- The Sculpture Collection of the 18th and 19th Centuries and the Classical world of Greece and Rome
The Russian czars, like other European royalty and aristocracy, collected sculptures inspired by antiquity, the world of Greece and Rome. Catherine the Great wanted to emulate the palace of Louis XIV and show Russia too could be "enlightened". The czars displayed the sculptures in luxurious rooms in the palace, surrounded by paintings and ceiling decorations. As we look at works from the 18th and 19th centuries, you will see how political and philosophical ideas influenced their interpretations of powerful aristocrats, sculptures of classical themes, purely decorative porcelain figures, and works of Rodin.
The second sessions show the classical world of Greece and Rome. The Hermitage houses a vast collection of vases and sculptures of ancient Greece, works of art that showed the Greek beliefs about beauty, proportion and harmony. Many illustrate Greek mythology in bronzes and marble. The collection of Roman sculptures shows us how Rome was inspired by the Greek culture, adopting its gods and legends, to create their representations of the gods and powerful politicians and emperors.
Feb. 1 – Art of the Middle Ages and the early Italian Renaissance
This session discusses art that represents 1000 years of history, 5th century through the 15th. It is a vast collection of medieval Christian images and relics, jeweled crucifixes, golden reliquaries made of precious metals, carved wood and ivory. These artifacts reflect medieval beliefs. We will also see that war and violence was very much a part of the medieval world, with the Hermitage's collection of armor and weapons, focusing on their ideas about chivalry and fighting.
The second session looks at the art of the early Italian Renaissance. In the 15th century, society moved from the remnants of its medieval thinking to a "rebirth", looking at the world here and now. It stressed naturalism, and the perspective that "man is the measure of all things". The collection reflects this new perspective. It still includes altarpieces but with more naturalism in the figures and landscapes. You will see examples by Da Vinci among others. Being Russia, its medieval icons still survived, and there are great examples of this Orthodox tradition. The cult of the Virgin Mary reigned paramount, and there are numerous examples of artistic interpretations of this subject.
Feb. 15- Raphael, Da Vinci and Italian High Renaissance, and art of the Netherlands in the 15th and 16th centuries
The Italian High Renaissance only lasted 30 years, but it produced masterpieces by Raphael, Michelangelo and Da Vinci, as well as the Venetian masters. The Russian czars collected both paintings and sculptures by these masters, which are exhibited in multiple rooms, revealing the drama and dynamism of the "NEW AGE".
The second session looks at the 15th and 16th century art of the Netherlands. The rising middle classes and mercantile class had different tastes that called for a more secular art. This art reflected the world around them with landscapes, seascapes and everyday life. Art in the 15th century was still very religious, but the figures portrayed were more human, as shown in works by Campin and the Master of Flamelle. By the 16th century, art showed softer colors, but still was religious, as the Netherlands continued to be ruled by the Dukes of Burgundy as part of the Holy Roman Empire ruled by Spain. Portraits became very important among the middle classes, as well as art that portrayed Flemish peasants and folktales, shown in the work of Hieronymus Bosch and Peter Brueghel.
March 1- Rubens, Van Dyck and 17th century Flemish artists, and Rembrandt and 17th century Dutch masters
Catherine the Great amassed a great collection of the works of Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony Van Dyke, 1500 of them. Flemish artists were influenced by Italian Renaissance colors and subjects, but their work was more exuberant, whether it was an altarpiece, a portrait of an aristocrat or an ordinary person, or a still life. The collection holds many examples of paintings that depict the life of royalty and peasant in the 17th century.
The second session highlights the collection of works by Rembrandt and other 17th century masters. Peter the Great (1672-1725) collected these works, and then the collection was expanded by subsequent czars to include portraits, landscapes, genre paintings, still lifes and seascapes. The Hermitage holds 10 Rembrandts, works that are religious and secular, works that are known for their use of light and psychological depictions. We will see works of Rembrandt, Frans Hals and Jan Steen, among others.
March 15- Velazquez, el Greco, Goya and Spanish masters, and French classical artists of the 17th and 18th centuries
The Russian collection had to be rounded out with a vast collection of Spanish masterpieces, which reflected the flowering of Spanish culture and its belief in Catholicism. There are works by El Greco, Murillo, Velasquez, and Francisco Goya,( alas only 1 by Goya). These paintings represent religious scenes from the bible, court and secular portraits, as well as still lifes. The portraits are particularly interesting, as we will see differences in the artists' styles and psychological depictions of their subjects.
The second session looks at the works by French Classical artists in the 17th and 18th centuries, works from the Baroque and Rococo periods. Catherine the Great desired her court to be equal to that of the French kings, Louis XIV, and Louis XV, whose tastes for luxury and gilded exuberance set the tone for Europe. She collected works by Nicholas Poussin and Claude Lorrain, classical works that reflected the ideals of ancient Greece and Rome. You will see massive history paintings, genre works and the lighter tone of Lorrain's landscapes, as well as the Roccoco frivolity of art by Watteau and Boucher.
March 29- 19th century France and the Impressionists, and Modernism- Matisse, Picasso and 20th century painters.
The museum has a large collection of early 19th century works of classical art depicting ancient Rome, as well as romantic works of exotic and dramatic settings by Eugene Delacroix. By the mid 19th century, in reaction to the strictures of the French Academy and its Salon, artists searched for new ways to portray the world. The Hermitage collected works by the Barbizon School of Realism with works by Millet and Courbet, as well as the Impressionists, as they emerged in the 1860's and 1870"s. The Impressionist collection is large, with works by Renoir, Pissarro, Monet, Degas, Cezanne, and 15 paintings of his Tahiti era by Gauguin.
The last session looks at the art of the Post-Impressionists and later 20th century art. By the early 1900's, Impressionism was considered "old-fashioned", and so new styles emerged as artists experimented. The collection reflects these experiments with the works of the Fauvists. Artists like Matisse and Derain, with their wild palette of color and decorative perspective, reflected a new world of inner feelings. Pablo Picasso is shown in the collection, with works from his many periods, from the early blue Period, through Cubism and all its facets. He transformed the art world with his originality and experimentation with Cubism, as he broke his depiction nature into spheres and abstract design. This led to the myriad of art styles of the 20th century.
Please join us when we begin this new series on December 7. The crowd is friendly, the illustrated lectures are superb, and the discussions are always stimulating. You don't have to be an art expert, as everyone's opinion is valid and often entertaining. A glass of wine and a sweet treat always enhance the experience. We look forward to seeing you.

"Little help," He finally sighed. I decided to not laugh at him and leaned over, making sure to cross my feet in case I slipped forward. He grabbed my outreached hand and we both froze. I almost pulled away at the jolt but stopped myself. He would've fallen if I did that. Probably just static I reasoned as he grabbed my other wrist with his other hand and nothing happened. He clambered onto another strong branch directly opposite me, leaning against the trunk.
"How are things in Cambridge then?" he asked.
"Boring," I sighed.
"Haven't got a girlfriend yet then?" he asked.
"Just haven't felt … " I trailed off, unsure how to phrase it.
"The spark?" he suggested. I nodded, staring at the sea of leaves surrounding us. The sky was starting to turn a dark purple shade. We would need to climb down before it got completely dark, otherwise we could easily trip and get hurt.
"So you haven't done it yet?" he asked. I shot my eyes back to him, blinking in confusion. A smirk formed on his face and it clicked in place.
"Oh, that," I said, feeling my cheeks burn a little. "No," I admitted, shrugging.
"Really?" Riley asked, surprise evident in his tone.
"Really, " I echoed, "I'm not interested in messing around with someone I don't care about," I added.
"Totally different attitudes there then," Riley joked, his gaze looking at the landscape now. His grin faded as he stared ahead. "Can I tell you something I haven't told anyone? My dad can never find out, he'd kill me if he did." Riley eyes moved to mine and he pushed away from the tree so that there was less distance between us. I sat up a little straighter, wondering what big secret he was trusting me with.
"I won't tell anyone," I promised.
"I'm bisexual," he said. I blinked at him. Of all the possibilities racing through my mind, that hadn't been one of them.
"Oh," I said, "Erm, good for you I guess," I trailed off. I had no clue what to say to something like that. He laughed at my tone, looking down at our feet hanging over the branches. Our knees were almost touching, though I thought the branches had more space between them.
"You could still have a girl for a soulmate," I added.
"I don't know," he murmured. "What about you?" he asked.
"What about me?"
"You haven't wondered if you could just not be into girls?" I opened my mouth to answer and hesitated. I'd questioned it myself before, but I figured it wasn't possible. The soulmate principle is part personality and part genetics I was once told. Which meant it was about having kids and two guys couldn't do that.
"Luca!" The sound of Karl's voice interrupted me. Riley moved back, widening the gap between us. Karl appeared below us, glancing through the branches with a raised eyebrow.
"It's Riley, I met him last time," I explained, climbing down quickly. Riley followed much more slowly, careful with his footing.
"Oh, I remember you, nice to see you again," he said to Riley.
"Same," Riley answered.
"Uncle Peter's doing a BBQ, figured you wouldn't want to miss out on the food," Karl said. I glanced at Riley, ready to ask him to join.
"I better head back too. My dad will be looking for me," he said quickly. "See you later," he added, a strange, determined look in his face when he said it. I started to say bye but he'd already fast-paced far away. I dropped my hand, not bothering to wave.
"How much longer until the blue feast again?" I asked
"Two days. Then the night after it's the blue moon. I can't wait," he smirked.
"Me neither," I murmured, still hoping I'd finally change for the first time. I glanced over my shoulder, remembering Riley earlier concern. "Karl .. " I began, wondering if I was just being stupid.
"What's up?" he asked, pausing momentarily to look down at me.
"Do you think the vampires will come after us here?" I asked. He froze mid-step and let out a tired sigh. There was something agitated about his movements which didn't do a lot to reassure me.
"It was an ongoing debate for a long time when Stewart said the blue moon was going to be here, but we think ultimately the vampire aren't that dumb. We might get one or two idiots, but we can easily take care of those. I wouldn't worry about it," Karl explained. I gulped at his words and silently nodded. I felt like I was worrying more now. If they thought there was the slightest possibility, then surely this should have never happened? It was too late now though. I hoped Karl was right.
Outside the tents Uncle Peter had set up some simple throwaway BBQ's. I could smell food cooking and heard my tummy growl. I hadn't even realised I was hungry when I had been talking to Riley.

Life and Times of Lorraine Dakota- Chapter 16Mature
I paced back and forth, back and forth, waiting for the doctors to fill me in on who was going to be okay, who wasn't. I was hoping both would be okay, both would survive. But I know if I would have to choose I'd choose Melanie in an instant. Because unlike Andrew she didn't have a chance to make a name of herself.
Oh God, the doctor was walking towards me, Nick, and my parents. We turned to face him, Nick having his arm around me, trying to comfort me. "Well…they both aren't doing that well. They were out in the cold wet for a very long time. There was terrible frostbite on both persons. And Andrew is currently in acoma, which we're trying as hard as possible to get him out of."
I nodded during all of this, trying to keep my cool.
I wasn't winning. The tears soon came, running down the old still damp trails along my cheeks from the earlier tears. "I'm…I'm sorry," I mouthed to the doctor and everyone else. And then I ran off, hoping to run away from this all this pain that was called my life.

All the parts have finally arrived, including one or two things I forgot about. I had to order a few extra connectors as the 1/2″ ID tubing was slightly less easy to route as I expected (coming from 3/8″ ID tubing currently). Also worth mentioning that neither Aqua Computer's D5 pumps or XSPC's twin D5 dual bay reservoir include O-rings for the pumps (they are usually included with pump tops though by the looks of things) so they had to be ordered separately but are easy enough to find.
A small amount of initial assembly is required. Firstly, mounting the fans to the radiator:
Then the pumps to the reservoir:
Finally the Aquaero block:
Fitting the Aquaero block is a little more complicated. You have to remove the circuit board, take the screws out holding the heat sink in place, add new thermal pads and then attach the block with the different screws provided. As the block is quite small it's also a bit of a pain to attach the compression fittings, I used a 10mm extender on the left and a 45 degree angled fitting on the right to give clearance from the block.
I've got a fried ASUS P9X79 board that I've not got round to getting an RMA for yet which is a handy way to mount the CPU block in the right place. This case is so big that the full ATX board looks tiny:
This is a full height radiator plus fans and there is still room above the board to see the cable management, a huge improvement over my current case.
Finally it's time to put everything in and add the tubing. At this point after I've fiddled around getting everything in and my hands start to get sore from tightening up the compression fittings, removing bits and adding them again to make things easier, I get a bit slack with the pictures and just want to get things finished!
Here are a few during and after photos:
Fill with distilled water and away we go!
At the time of writing I've had the system running for about 48 hours, I only ordered 1 litre of coolant and it took 1.5 litres to fill it with distilled water. I'm waiting on a new order of Mayhems Aurora fluid which will arrive on Tuesday!

A place to put one's head - that's about all. We needed to get a ferry early in the morning, so we needed to stay in Wellington for one night. It was clean, comfortable, but very spartan. Kitchen was well appointed and the apartment had free laundry facilities.

Friendly welcome and good location. The two rooms and amenities just what we need at a good price for two nights.

... cable car broke down halfway up and we managed to walk to the top with some local guidance. Of course I managed to take some flower photos!
After yummy burger on the harbour-side walk, we went to the Te Papa museum. Had coffee and cake and then explored the fascinating displays including Maori history and art, NZ migrations, NZ cultural ...
Sky dive woooo!
... everyone was feeling so fresh today, a bit of a heavy one the night before... Ask Jake about his night yourself. We stopped in a national park to take a walk up to a cute little waterfall, and some awesome views of mount doom (not that there's really a bad view). Then on to river valley for a huge roast dinner. Had all the trimmings with it too. Glorious. This was also another chilled evening, everyone sitting around ...
Back to Where it All Began...For Now!
... know my trusty steed won't be participating in any cycling championships in the near future (or in fact, ever) it is the first bike I have ever owned in my life. The bike that I lovingly customised back home was my dad's old one, an antiquated but very reliable Saracen. In my overseas absence however, my brother has since hijacked it, removed all my mod cons and converted it back into a mountain bike from the road bike I created. Unimpressed in the extreme ...

Sockeye salmon at risk of overheating due to climate change: study

Sockeye salmon at risk of overheating due to climate change: study
VANCOUVER- From Friday's Globe and Mail
Published Thursday, Mar. 31, 2011 2:31PM EDT
Last updated Thursday, Mar. 31, 2011 11:55PM EDT
Sockeye salmon in the Fraser River are facing such critically warm water in the summer that populations will either have to adapt or die as climate change pushes temperatures even higher, according to new research at the University of British Columbia.
With oceans, lakes and rivers warming worldwide, the study holds a warning that fish stocks are facing increasingly dire environmental challenges.
To test the thermal tolerance limits of salmon, researcher Erika Eliason placed them on "fish treadmills" in the lab, where temperatures and simulated currents could be adjusted.
What Ms. Eliason found was that sockeye, which migrate up to 1,200 kilometers in the Fraser, are already "near their upper limit" for warm water and any further increases could lead to the disappearance of some populations.
The PhD candidate in UBC's Department of Zoology looked at eight distinct populations of sockeye salmon, and found each group had evolved to deal with local conditions.
There are more than 100 sockeye populations in the Fraser and over time they have evolved in response to the specific environmental conditions they face during migration.
Ms. Eliason said one group - the Chilko stock, named for the lake and river system they spawn in - was able to handle such a wide range of conditions that she began calling them "super salmon."
The Chilko fish run up the Fraser far into the northern Interior, and then hook back to the West, in the Chilcotin River, before entering the Chilko River, where they spawn near a glacial lake, high in the Coast Range.
"So they are swimming in the Lower Fraser when it's the warmest [water] temperatures of the entire year, in the middle of August, going through Hell's Gate, in 20 degrees plus," she said. "Then they . . . head up the Chilcotin, which can be as cold as 12 degrees Celsius, so it's a huge range in temperatures. I think it's this massive range of temperatures that they have adapted to, that makes them super."
She said the Chilko stock have "very large hearts," compared to other populations in the Fraser and they are more streamlined and athletic. By contrast the Weaver Creek sockeye, which run a short distance and spawn in the Lower Fraser, are less fit and appear especially susceptible to warming waters.
Ms. Eliason said it isn't known how long it takes a population to change physiologically to adapt to environmental conditions - and it might not be possible for any of the populations to change fast enough to survive in the long run.
"The current challenge is determining whether the rates and extents of physiological adaptation for Fraser River sockeye salmon will allow them to adapt quickly enough to cope with the current warming trend," concludes the paper.
The Fraser has warmed by about two degrees over the past two decades and the trend is expected to continue. The river is usually over 19 degrees in the summer, and often hits highs of around 21.5 degrees.
"They are all near their upper limit. . . 21.5 degrees C is already higher than the optimal temperature for every single population in the Fraser," she said. "There is not much room there, for anybody."
The study, published Friday as the cover article in Science, found the optimal temperature for each fish population matched the historical river temperatures they had encountered.
Above their optimal temperature the fish had increased difficulty swimming and could suffer cardiovascular collapse, said Ms. Eliason, who worked on the study with co-authors Tony Farrell, a professor in the Department of Zoology and Scott Hinch, a professor in the Faculty of Forestry, both at UBC.

Yokohama's Electric Vehicle Wins with Record Time at Pikes Peak EV bests previous "Race to the Clouds" mark by over a minute
FULLERTON, CA (July 1, 2010) - An electric vehicle driving on Yokohama tires and powered by a new AC Propulsion motor broke the record for electric vehicles in the 2010 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado Springs, Colorado over the weekend.
With Japanese driver Ikuo Hanawa behind the wheel, the Yokohama-equipped EV won the Exhibition class with a time of 13:17:575, a 93-second improvement over its time from a year ago. That mark shattered the previous Pikes Peak EV record, set by Jeri Unser in 2003, by 65 seconds.
The Pikes Peak Hill Climb, called the "Race to the Clouds," begins at an elevation of 9,390 feet, and climbs to 14,110 feet, a rise of 4,720 feet.
Hanawa's new EV Sports Concept HER-02, utilizing Sanyo batteries, ran on prototype next-generation tires from Yokohama designed to demonstrate stability on any kind of road surface - the Peak course is run over gravel and pavement - and low rolling resistance, important for this technologically-advanced racecar.
"Breaking a seven-year-old record is impressive, and speaks to the capability of the Yokohama tires," said Mark Chung, Yokohama director, corporate strategy and planning.
Due to the constantly changing surfaces and weather that can occur on the Pikes Peak course, Yokohama tested multiple tires on the HER-02 immediately before the race. Not only does the surface change from pavement to gravel and back, the 2010 race had everything from sun, rain and snow on the mountain course throughout the race day.
Celebrating its 40th anniversary in the United States, Yokohama Tire Corporation is the North American manufacturing and marketing arm of Tokyo, Japan-based The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., a global manufacturing and sales company of premium tires since 1917. Servicing a network of more than 4,500 points of sale in the U.S., Yokohama Tire Corporation is a leader in technology and innovation. The company's complete product line includes the dB Super E-spec™ - the world's first tire to use orange oil to reduce petroleum - as well as tires for high-performance, light truck, passenger car, commercial truck and bus, and off-the-road mining and construction applications.

Transport in the Isle of Man
There are a number of transport services around the Isle of Man, mostly consisting of paved roads, public transport, rail services, sea ports and an airport.
The island has a total of 688 miles (1,107 km) of public roads,[1] all of which are paved. Roads are numbered using a numbering scheme similar to the numbering schemes of Great Britain and Northern Ireland; each road is assigned a letter, which represents the road's category, followed by a 1 or 2 digit number. A roads are the main roads of the island whilst roads labelled B, C, D or U decrease in size and or quality. (The C, D and U numbers are not marked on most maps.) There is no national speed limit - some roads may be driven at any speed which is safe and appropriate. Careless and dangerous driving laws still apply, so one may not drive at absolutely any speed, and there are local speed limits on many roads. Nevertheless, sight lines are such that there are parts of the network where someone in an appropriate vehicle could approach 200 miles per hour (322 km/h)[citation needed], although measured travel speeds (see table below) are often relatively low. Drivers are limited to 50 miles per hour (80 km/h) in the first two years after passing their driving test (Isle of Man citizens are permitted to start driving at the age of sixteen)[2] and some are not used to having to make progress in the same way as on a larger road network such as that in the UK: even a cautious driver can get from anywhere in the island to anywhere else in ninety minutes).
Set against this is a strong culture of motor sport enthusiasm (pinnacled in the TT, but there are many events during the year) and experienced residents are well used to traversing country roads at speeds illegal on roads of such relatively low quality anywhere else on Earth[citation needed]. This leads to a very diverse level of both driving competence and speed. In an official survey in 2006 the introduction of blanket speed limits was refused by the population,[3] suggesting that a large number appreciate the freedom.
There is a comprehensive bus network, operated by Bus Vannin, a department of the Isle of Man Government, with most routes originating or terminating in Douglas.

The island has a total of 68.5 km (42.6 mi) of railway, of which 43.5 km (27.0 mi) is electrified. There are six separate rail systems on the island:
- Isle of Man Railway - operated by Department of Infrastructure
- Manx Electric Railway - operated by Department of Infrastructure
- Snaefell Mountain Railway - operated by Department of Infrastructure
- Douglas Horse Tram - operated by the Douglas Borough Council
- Groudle Glen Railway - operated by Groudle Glen Railway (2012) Limited
- Great Laxey Mine Railway - operated by the Laxey & Lonan Heritage Trust
- The Orchid Line - operated by the Manx Steam & Model Engineering Club
(The last three are short-distance tourist rides which cannot be said to be transport services.)
The only commercial airport on the island is the Isle of Man Airport at Ronaldsway. Scheduled services operate to and from various cities in the United Kingdom and Ireland, operated by several different airlines.
The island's other paved runways are at Jurby and Andreas. Jurby remains in Isle of Man Government ownership and is used for motorsport events and, previously, airshows, while Andreas is privately owned and used by a local glider club. The old Hall Caine Airport, a grass field near Ramsey, is no longer used.
Aircraft Register[edit]
The Isle of Man Aircraft Register became operational on 1 May 2007. The register is open to all non-commercial aircraft and is intended to be of particular interest to professionally flown corporate operators. As of November 2012 a total of 537 corporate and private aircraft had been registered.
Ports and harbours[edit]
Ports are located at Castletown, Douglas, Peel and Ramsey. Douglas is served by frequent ferries to and from United Kingdom and Ireland; the sole operator is the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company with exclusive use of the Isle of Man Sea Terminal, and the Douglas port linkspans under the conditions of the user agreement negotiated with the Isle of Man Government.
Merchant marine[edit]
The Isle of Man register comprises 226 ships of 1,000 GRT or over, totalling 6,055,436 GRT or 9,972,459 tonnes deadweight (DWT). This figure includes some foreign-owned ships registered on the Island as a flag of convenience: Australia, 3; Cyprus, 4; Denmark, 30; Estonia, 3; France, 1; Germany, 57; Greece, 8; Hong Kong, 11; Iceland, 1; Italy, 6; Monaco, 4; Netherlands, 2; New Zealand, 1; Norway, 10; Singapore, 2; Sweden, 3; United Kingdom, 80; United States, 1.
A breakdown of ships by type: bulk, 25; cargo, 40; chemical tanker, 25; combination bulk, 2; container, 19; liquefied gas, 31; multi-functional large load carrier, 1; petroleum tanker, 59; refrigerated cargo, 1; roll on/roll off, 17; specialised tanker, 1; vehicle carrier, 5.

Hello everyone! It's Christmas here over at our side of the world, so everyone's busy opening presents or eating Christmas lunches or talking to their loved ones abroad through Skype (we just finished with ours). And in the midst of all the Christmas celebrations I managed to take a bit of time away from it all to create a little something for everyone.. a free Photoshop Curve from me to you!
To install the Curve on Photoshop:
..and you're done!
- Click Image > Adjustments > Curves
- Click on the Load button
- Choose the Curve that you just downloaded
- Click OK
The result is very subtle, unlike most edits, but I find it really nice. Works well on most photos. A bit too yellow for portraits of people, best used on photos of objects under natural light. I use this a lot on my haul photos. I hope you like it! And if you do use this, please leave a link of your work in the comments. I'd love to see what you do with it.
Happy holidays everyone!

text: Hello, I'm interested in switching to a RAID 0 setup from AHCI now that I have two drives, but I have a concern regarding the type of Windows7 disks I own -- namely they are the Upgrade version. I have successfully done a clean install from Vista -> RC1 -> Home Premium, but my understanding is that my data will be totally wiped by the switch to RAID. In reinstalling Windows from these upgrade disks, will I run into any problems with it thinking that I don't already possess a previous version? Are there any steps that I can take to pull this off if so? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Family Of DeKalb County Fire Victim Files Lawsuit
Updated:DUNWOODY, Ga. - The family of a Dunwoody woman who died after a failed 911 response, is now suing DeKalb county. Ann Bartlett died in January after calling 911 to report her home was on fire. According to investigators, she gave her correct address, but firefighters said didn't see any smoke or fire and left. They were forced to return five hours later when neighbors reported raging flames.
Bartlett's family told Channel 2 investigative reporter, Jodie Fleischer, the failure of the emergency response system was bad enough, but the county has since done nothing to fix the problems.
Bartlett's daughter, Ruth, said, "how many more calls or deaths have to happen before they will change something? We would hate for anyone else to have to go through this."
WEB EXTRA: DeKalb Fire Lawsuit PDF
The lawsuit asks a judge to issue an injunction, demanding the county submit to a third party review of its 911 response system. The county did fire five firefighters and force the chief to resign. But there has been no clarification of the policy requiring a 360-degree search of a home, or requirement that firefighters get out of the truck and look around. Firefighters said the 911 center did not pass along enough information from Bartlett's call. There have been no changes within the 911 center either.
"There were probably four, five, maybe six different junctures that this went wrong and had any one of those circled back it's highly possible my mother would still be alive." Ruth said her 74-year-old mother was still active and vibrant, and that her three daughters and four grandchildren miss her dearly. She said there's no way to put a dollar amount on what her mother meant to the family. They said they simply want the county to do better.
"It would upset her knowing she died for no reason and they don't change some policies and procedures," Ruth said.
A county spokesperson refused to comment about why there have been no policy changes, saying county policy prohibits commenting on issues under litigation.
Ruth said she would rather have avoided a lawsuit and worked out the details in mediation, but the county rejected that offer.

Topics of discussion ranged from the North American Free Trade Agree ment, government regulations on business to worker's compensation and mandated health care. "There is not one of us that doesn't believe in the moral aspects of legislation being passed in Washington," said Erben. Erben said private enterprise is often assumed to be guilty of misconduct. "Sometimes it (business) is the only fiber and substance that is keeping Borne degree of sanity," he said. "We're not getting that across.''

Officials at foe center recently decided not to close the workshop at the center and to find employment for MHMR clients in normal business environments. "There will be no more work contracts here. We have completed all existing contracts," said Jerry Simmons, director of outreach programs of the Austin State School, which oversees local MHMR centers. "We understand an employer has to have production," he said. "We have people who want to be employed." The program works by helping with job placement for MHMR clients. When foe clients first start their job, they are accompanied by a job coach from MHMR. "Once they are doing it on their own, foe job coach pulls back," said Simmons. MHMR consumers are placed in all types of jobs, according to Simmons. "We have had people who waked in restaurants, book stores, and have volunteered in thrift shops in town," said case manager Deneece Lawrence. "The range of jobs is just as wide for people with mental retardation as for people who don't. It is based oft their interests and abilities," said Robert Wilcox, MHMR area directa. "When our folks get a job and get to pay income tax, our folks get excited," said Simmons. "They enjoy work- • ^ st mg. "They are normal, everyday people who happen to have a glitch in their system," he said. "Our clients are perfectly normal. They just happen to have a little trouble processing information. It's a matter of helping them compensate for that." Efforts to improve community awareness about MHMR are also under way. Lawrence said she has been working with school districts, civic groups, etc. to help people learn the purpose of the center. "We want to let the community know we are trying to increase services," she said. "We are also working more closely with school district to ga awareness to parents who already have children in the school district," she said. Boerne will be leaping the benefits of the increasing services. MHMR hired John Sullivan, as community employment specialist for Boerne. Sullivan will base the operations in New Braunfels.

Audhecs visited the MHMR center for thee days and covered 132 prindpletin their audit. Items covered included services given based according individual need, team programs and qualifications. The avenge program would have 40 to 50 deficiencies, said Jerry Simmons, director of outreach programs for foe Austin State School. The one deficiency concerns quarterly reports filed by care managers. The auditors requested the reports cover medical and psychological aspects as well as the services provided by MHMR case managers. The audit also covered the programs in Kerrville, Llano and Fredicksburg. Only one case referred to in the deficiency was from New Braunfels. "Last year the program had three deficiencies and one of the deficiencies was appealed and reversed 'Our goal is to always have zero," said Susan Westfall, residential coordinator. "And in the past, it has been zero." In addition to this news, MHMR also announced this week that a new area director has been hired. Robert Wilcox will begin working in New Braunfels on Nov. 29. Wilcox holds a degree in psychology from Texas AAM University. He has worked in Corpus Christi for seven years where he has been involved in administering community rehabilitation program.
