Off Road Driving Course
Today three of our Full Team Callout members Peter Heeley, Elaine Gilliland and Stephen Kenworthy attended an off road training day, organised by Hummer Extreme in conjunction with Bauer-Millet of Manchester.
Meeting at 11:30 at the Pheasant Inn at Higher Burwardesley, Cheshire, the team had no time to get the wake-up brew promised, heading straight in to the off road course.
After meeting the instructors Neil and Jo from Hummer Extreme, the team headed in to the forest tracks, tackling steep inclines on green lanes, testing the capabilities of a Hummer H3 and Hummer H2 vehicles, with each team member taking turns to learn the skills required for off road driving.
Following the end of the course the team and vehicles returned to the Pheasant Inn, getting the promised brew and to get a debrief of the days activities.
Bolton Mountain Rescue and Peter, Elaine and Stephen would like to thank all at Hummer Extreme, Hummer UK and Bauer-Millet (especially Dave) for the valuable experience this gives our team. Hummer Extreme are also trying to arrange a full day experience for the whole team (operational duties will take priority) in the future.

Poor Katie Holmes.
For her sake, I hope she really is blissfully married and that he's not a psycho control freak.

I feel the need for a disclaimer, my Ireland story is nothing spectacular, as I was much too shy for an epic tale...
(When the choir from my high school went, they got to shake hands with U2. They were all getting off of their respective planes at the same time.
I cried when I heard that. In front of all of my polyeser clad Taco Bell co-workers, I stood there with big fat tears rolling down my cheeks because so many unworthy people got to meet them and none of them mentioned how important the Unforgettable Fire had been to ME in my high school years. My summer spent slaving in burgundy polyester never felt more unfair.)

There's nothing like hijacking a family holiday in order to further your political agenda, and for Chelsea Clinton, she's absolutely shameless this Mother's Day about promoting the Butcherer of Benghazi. Blasting a letter out on behalf of her mother's campaign, she not only used the occasion to squeeze out more donations, but then asked America to take it even a step further.
"With all the noise out there, it can be hard to remember how many of us there are who are standing with my mom, fighting by her side to break down the barriers that hold people back," the email read, according to The Daily Caller.
"So for Mother's Day, I thought we could show her just how many of us are on her side — that's why I'm putting together a Mother's Day card for the whole campaign family to sign.
"Will you take a moment to add your name and send my mom some good thoughts? We're going to give her the card and all the signatures on Sunday, and I know how much she'd appreciate hearing from you," the email continued.
"Thank you. I'm so happy you're part of this team — and I know my mom is, too."
Yeah that's ok, Chelsea. Maybe instead of trying to promote your crooked murdering shitbag of a mom, we should send our condolences to the mothers of these brave 4 men, who lost their sons thanks to your dear mother, Hillary Clinton.
Nauseating. Everyone should tweet this pic to Hillary…

Spurs prove once again you don't have to have best players to win title
Some people want to make this series a referendum on LeBron James and his "legacy," whatever that means, but if you understood what you were watching, you know this series wasn't about James at all. He averaged 28.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and four assists, and his percentages (57 from the field, 52 from three, 79 from the free-throw line) were extraordinary. The Spurs whipped Miami anyway, just as they beat Kevin Durant's Thunder in the last series. Durant and James are the two best players in the world by almost any measure. But it's a team game, and the best team won.

I'll definitely use this again when I making lots of decals, but for a single one I'll stick to a stamper xDelete

Apple upgrades Safari for older versions of macOS
Version 11 of the browser adds Intelligent Tracking Protection, a feature that has drawn the ire of the online advertising industry.
Version 11 of the browser adds Intelligent Tracking Protection, a feature that has drawn the ire of the online advertising industry.
Still Safari's share erosion was much less than that suffered by Microsoft's browsers, particularly IE, during the same period.
Microsoft's combination of application reputation technology and URL filtering gave Internet Explorer a malware block rate that blew pass Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari.
Amazon's Cloud Player music streaming service launched only with Android compatibility, but an update rolled out this weekend quietly introduced basic support for Apple's iOS. If you have an Amazon Cloud Drive account (5GB free, plus a free 20GB upgrade if you purchase an album via Amazon MP3), you can now stream music on iOS devices too.
Many cynical users assume Web browsers do little more than dutifully render HTML. The content is the most important part, they say, so it makes little difference which browser you use.
Apple's new Safari extension gallery looks a lot like the iOS App Store, populated with colorful icons that hold strange and wonderful things. In case browsing the 100 extensions Apple offers for Safari 5.01 is too much effort, here are eight good ones to get you started:
For most macOS users, Apple's Safari browser is their window to the online world. These add-ons can make the browsing experience even better.
If you're a regular PCWorld reader, you may have noticed the Browser Blowout story we posted last week. In it, I looked at various aspects of the major Web browsers, including features, interface, security, and performance.
Although it wasn't mentioned during Apple CEO Steve Jobs' keynote address Monday at WWDC, Apple launched an updated version of its Safari Web browser for Mac OS X 10.5.8 and 10.6.2 or higher, as well as Windows XP SP2 or higher, Vista, and Windows 7.
The just-released Safari 5 ups the ante in the browser wars, with two major improvements: a performance boost to rival speed king Chrome, the highly useful Safari Reader, which makes it much easier to read multi-page Web articles.
Google Chrome hit a milestone over the weekend when it became the third-most popular browser after Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, according to metrics firm Net Applications. It controls just 4.63 percent of the browser market, but Chrome has made significant inroads against competing browsers, such as the former bronze medalist Apple Safari.

February is National Children's Dental Health Month—a holiday founded to raise awareness about the importance of oral health for kids. In honor of this, we've put together a guide for the best children's toothbrushes in 2014.
The toothbrush is a key element to maintaining good oral health. And while your kids may have the technique down, if they're using a poor toothbrush, then their technique may not do them much good.
Look into getting them the very best toothbrush to optimize their good dental health habits. And here's a bonus - if you're a parent who struggles to get your child to even brush his or her teeth, some of these toothbrushes may be able to help you as well.
Best "Smart" ToothbrushesWe are in the technology age after all, so this first category of toothbrushes for kids are ones that connect to your phone, adding a fun element to the somewhat mundane routine.
- Kolibree Toothbrush. Produced by a French company called Kolibree, this electric toothbrush syncs wirelessly to your smartphone so it can track you or your child's brushing habits. It will tell you how long you brushed your teeth, if you brushed all four quadrants of your mouth and if you brush well (going up and down) or poorly (just going side to side). You are rewarded for good brushing habits and "shamed" for poor brushing habits. This shaming includes sharing your brushing performance with your social network or even with your dentist. It makes brushing your teeth a game of sorts that most hope to win. This toothbrush costs between $99 and $200 depending on the model. It will be available to pre-order this summer through Kickstarter—a crowdfunding site that shares product ideas and raises money through campaigns to fund the actual product.
- Beam Brush. The only other "smart" brush out there right now is called the "Beam Brush." This manual toothbrush also connects to your smartphone, but, unlike the Kolibree, it cannot track the toothbrush's movement in your mouth as you are brushing. However, it still connects to an app on your phone and uses a sensor located inside the brush to record how long and how frequently you brush your teeth. You can share the data between the whole family so each person can see how long and how often everyone's brushing their teeth. This toothbrush can be purchased for $25 on Beam Brush's website. The replacement heads are $3.99.
Best Electric ToothbrushesMost of the time, electric toothbrushes clean children's teeth better than manual brushes because it does most of the moving and brushing, going over the teeth methodically and effectively. And while electric toothbrushes are great for kids because of this—and because it seems to make brushing your teeth more fun—there is a big difference between adult electric toothbrushes and children's electric toothbrushes. Each toothbrush model is specifically designed for either kids or adults. For kids, brushes have soft bristles so they don't harm a child's teeth or gums. Kids under 12 years of age should be using kid-specific electric toothbrushes and not adult ones. That being said, here are the best electric toothbrushes for kids:
- Arm & Hammer's SpinBrush Electric Toothbrush for Kids. Kids brush their teeth 38 percent longer when using this product. It is available in several different designs and characters. It has a smaller toothbrush head for smaller mouths and has a comfortable grip. Children under three years of age should use this toothbrush with adult supervision. Arm & Hammer also has another fun toothbrush for kids called Tooth Tunes. Tooth Tunes plays two minutes of music as the kids brush their teeth, making their twice-a-day task a little more fun.
- Oral-B Pro-Health Stages Power Toothbrush. This toothbrush provides a thorough clean by cleaning chewing surfaces, reaching between teeth, cleaning gently and making brushing teeth fun with the different Disney characters available for these toothbrushes. This toothbrush is for children three years or older.
- Philips Sonicare for Kids. Sonicare for Kids was designed to help children develop healthy brushing habits. Parents can teach their children how to brush properly with this product and it is a great toothbrush to use when transitioning from brushing together to having your children brush their teeth on their own.
Best Manual ToothbrushesThe American Dental Association provides a list of manual toothbrushes that have achieved their seal of approval because they have each proved:
- All of the toothbrush components are safe for use in the mouth
- Bristles are free of sharp or jagged edges and endpoints
- The handle material is manufacturer-tested to show durability under normal use
- The bristles won't fall out with normal use
[This information was taken from the American Dental Association's website.]
Manual Kids' Toothbrushes with ADA Seal of Approval
- Dr. Fresh Peanuts Toothbrush. This toothbrush comes in a pack of four. It fits a child's mouth, has a comfortable grip and soft bristles.
- SmileGuard Toothbrush. Available in a variety of characters, this toothbrush is designed for children's mouths and has a suction cup on the end of the handle for easier storing.
- RADIUS Kidz Toothbrush. Very soft, BPA-Free and made with FDA-approved plastic, the Radius has a customized grip for kids six years of age and above. What makes it special is its smooth oval head, which cultivates pressure-less brushing.
- Firefly Toothbrush. This toothbrush is available in a variety of characters.

Philippine Independence Day 2011: PNoy speaks at 113th Philippine Independence Day, leads flag raising ceremonyBy Angel Cuala on Jun 12, 2011 in Asia, Events, National, Politics •
Manila, Philippines – Philippine President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III (PNoy) led the flag ceremony today, Sunday, June 12, 2011, celebrating the 113th Philippine Independence Day.
PNoy, leading the ceremony during the celebration
of Philippine Independence Day 2011 (June 12, 2011)
Image Credit: Danny Pata/GMANews.tv
As noted at local news sites on Sunday, PNoy made his speech after the flag ceremony at Kawit, Cavite as part of celebrating Philippine Independence Day 2011.
President Noynoy Aquino was joined by some of his cabinet members including Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin and Cavite officials led by Cavite Governor Juanito Victor Remulla Jr. and Kawit Mayor Reynaldo Aguinaldo.
"Isandaan at labingtatlong taon na ang nakalipas nang nagtipon ang mga ninuno natin dito sa Cavite, lupaing diniligan ng dugo ng mga bayani, upang ihayag sa mundo: Kahapon ang huling araw na ituturing akong mababang-uri sa tinubuan kong lupa. Ngayong araw, isa akong malayang nilalang ng Maykapal na may karapatang mangarap, at tumungo sa katuparan ng mga ito." PNoy said on his speech.
(One hundred and thirteen years ago, our ancestors gathered here in Cavite, a land watered with the blood of heroes, to reveal to the world: Yesterday was the last day that I will be treated as a low-class native of my land. Today, I am a free person created by God who has the right to dream, and went to make it a reality.)
"Dito ko ngayon pinipiling kausapin ang taumbayan, Pilipino kaharap ang kapwa malayang Pilipino, sa unang pagdiriwang ng Araw ng Kalayaan sa akin pong administrasyon." PNoy added.
(Now, I choose this place to talk to my countrymen, Filipino facing fellow free Filipinos, on the first Philippine Independence Day on my administration.)
In addition, PNoy noted that corruption is the reason why Filipinos are poor, and stopping corruption is the only way that Philippines can be called as a free country.
Later, the bachelor president added that it is being free that people can voice out their opinions and even oppose to others' opinion, citing the pro and anti-RH Bill and on-going 2011 NBA Finals Dallas vs. Miami.
On the latter part, Pnoy stressed out that the time has ended to feel shy about being a Filipino and that Filipinos should be proud of his race, helping his country, the government and his fellow countrymen.
On the same day at Rizal Hall in Malacanang Palace, PNoy also delivered a short speech on the celebration of the 113th Philippine Independence Day.
"My father once said that the Filipino is worth dying for. My mother articulated it again after she won back our democracy: The Filipino is worth living for. I have now committed my life to showing the world the truth that both my parents proclaimed." PNoy was quoted as saying.
PNoy's parents are being noted to have played important roles for the freedom against the so-called dictatorship implemented by the late President Ferdinand Marcos.
Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino, PNoy's father, known to have the strongest voice against the Marcos regime, was assassinated on August 21, 1983 at the Manila International Airport (MIA), now called Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
On other hand, Corazon "Cory" Aquino, PNoy's mother, fought then President Marcos in a snap election on February 7, 1986 and ended through a peaceful People Power, as Cory became the 11th president of the Philippines.
The full transcript of PNoy's speech during the Philippine Independence Day 2011 can be found at the Official Gazette of the Philippines.

Key Arena – Seattle, WA
Words by jakobross424
I woke up Friday, May 13 and thought: I am seeing System of a Down tonight.
Alternative-metal band SOAD went on hiatus in 2006 and are back for their triumphant return. Although most of their tour was scheduled for Europe, they still had time for the west coast of Canada and the U.S. I arrived at the Key Arena, and I was directed and redirected to different lines that would eventually take me to the front door.
I finally got in and I immediately found the merch booth where I purchased a SOAD shirt (the band's logo on the top, a large picture of a tank, bottom says "Mine is bigger than yours!") and a Gogol Bordello shirt. Gogol Bordello is a "gypsy punk" band composed of around 7-8 people, all of them from various countries (Ukraine, Russia, Ecuador, USA, China, etc.) Lead singer Eugene Hutz is the coolest man alive. Just sayin'.
At around 8:00 Gogol Bordello came on after an introduction by a Seattle radio host. Gogol raced through a 40-minute set and immediately won the crowd over with their ingenious combination of klezmer music and punk, as well as their energy that couldn't even be matched by SOAD. Gogol played favorites from previous albums such as "Start Wearing Purple" but most of their songs came from their most recent album Trans-Continental Hustle. "Immigraniada (We Comin' Rougher)" and "Break the Spell" were two highlights of the new material.
When Gogol left the set, I was thirsty and in pain from all the jumping and singing I did. I was 2 rows from the front when I saw Gogol, and a lot farther back when I saw SOAD, unfortunately, because I lost my spot due to my need for water. A large screen covered the stage when Gogol left, and it was SOAD's logo. The crowd waited for about 30 minutes, then we heard the opening riff to "Prison Song." When the intro ended and the full band came in to start the first verse, the screen fell (on purpose) and the band was revealed.
On the left, the always unpredictable Daron Malakian, the guitarist. In the middle, bearded lead singer Serj Tankian. Behind him, calm-yet-articulate drummer John Dolmoyan. On the right, the braided bearded bass player Shavo Odijian. Together, they make Armenian-American political band System of a Down.
SOAD played a KILLER set, playing songs from all four of their major releases. Highlights included "War?", "Toxicity", "Cigar", "Lonely Day" and many many more. The crowd sang along and moshed and jumped and had the best time. SOAD sounded great, although Serj's mic made him sound like he had a high pitched voice. Oh, well. The boys ended their set with crowd-favorite "Sugar", and left the stage after a 29-song set with no encore. All-in-all a phenomenal night. My ears rang like crazy, but it was worth it.

AKG Studio Headphones
Whether you're an amateur enthusiast or an experienced professional, no audio technician should ever underestimate the importance of studio headphones. For example, when you're recording a separate track from the ones you've already recorded, you'll need to mute the studio monitors in order to avoid any bleed. In this situation, your studio headphones will come in extremely handy. Not to mention, if you have a home studio and need to do some late-at-night mixing and editing, headphones will allow you to get the job done without causing any noise complaints. Simply put, studio headphones are useful for a wide range of studio applications, and the sonic accuracy provided by AKG studio headphones are sure to exceed the expectations of even the most meticulous audio guru.
Throughout AKG's selection of options, you'll find plenty of huge sellers and top rated studio headphones, including the AKG K 44 headphones. Designed specifically for critical listening, these headphones are versatile, well-made, and make an optimal choice for home recording projects. Another popular item is the AKG Quincy Jones Q701 Headphones with Q on Producing Book. This astounding package represents a monumental partnership between AKG and legendary musician and producer, Quincy Jones. As you'd expect, an American icon like Quincy Jones would only put his name on the best, and rest assured, the Q701 headphones are the most accurate headphones ever constructed by AKG. In addition to these headphones, you'll also receive the Q on Producing Book/DVD, which collects a year of in-depth interviews, instructions and courses from the master himself.
You could be the most talented sound technician the world has ever known, but even the pros need exceptionally crafted gear and equipment to hone their skills with. When you go with AKG, you can have peace of mind knowing that your studio headphones have been designed with your greatest ambitions in mind.

Did you know that unpopped kernels in the bottom of your popcorn bag, box or bowl are called "old maids?" Popcorn is another fun, audience food, another of those "bet-you-can't-eat-just-one-mouthful" treats. Carelessly, we think of it as "junk food," however, popcorn is a thorough-going vegetable which supplies your body with more iron than eggs, peanuts, spinach or roast beef. It contains more phosphorous and fiber than potato chips, ice cream cones or pretzels!
Marketers have fun with this popped stuff, too. Grown in four possible natural colors, white, yellow, red and blue, popcorn can be plain or spicy, oil-popped or air-popped. Buy it sweet, salty, buttered, caramel coated or bright orange with nacho cheese flavor. Pale white (calorie laden) cheddar seems to be riding a flavor crest right now, yet mail order companies tempt with flavors from black cherry to coconut macaroon or dark licorice. Some order pina-colada or bubble-gum-flavored popcorn. There's also seasonal flavors like cranberry.
The culture of popcorn is broad. Until the 1950s, most people ate their popcorn at the movies; now seventy percent of popcorn is popped at home. The Popcorn Institute reports we eat 56 quarts of popcorn each year, an increase of 50 percent, according to the Snack Food Association. Sales now exceed $2 billion a year. Americans today consume nearly 16 billion quarts of popped popcorn, that's 59 quarts of per man, woman and child. Five types of corn are grown today, the sweet, dent, flint, pod and popping corn.
Few foods are as old as corn. As far back as 80,000 years, fossil corn pollen was discovered 200 feet below Mexico City, and scholars believe the first use for corn was popped corn. Besides eating it, they used the white "beads" to adorn their bodies. Native Americans held ears of corn over a fire until kernels popped, then they ate it off the cob. Later, they removed kernels, threw them into the fire, then scramble for them as they popped free. This led to heating kernels and sand in clay pots and separating the two. Shallow clay vessels, as broad as eight-feet, have been found in Mexico and South America from as far back as 500 A.D. People from the Pre-Incan society used similar pots as early as 300 A.D. Popping corn has tremendous keeping qualities. Archeologists tell of a donkey which came upon some thousand-year-old kernels and ate at them. Also, scientists discovered corn this old will still pop.
The popping of corn has probably fascinated every civilization, as if it were some form of magic. What makes it seem a mystery is water inside the corn kernel heats hot enough to become steam, and it causes pressure which overcomes the strength of the protein and starch coating, causing the kernel to explode. Each took one of two shapes: snowflake, which is big and shaped like a cloud; and mushroom which pops into a small ball.
It's a great dietary bargain states the Popcorn Board in Chicago. "Because popcorn is a high-carbohydrate, low sugar food, it is ideal for snacking. When Hunger strikes between meals, popcorn satisfies the appetite without spoiling it."
Twentieth-century corn poppers have changed, too. Early, we shuffled long-handled boxes across stove burners. The first electric popping kettle needed us to turn a handle in a circular fashion until popping ceased. Then we could buy fat-free, air popping machines. At last, we had microwave popcorn which tasted much better, and all we had to do was listen. During this era, Orville Redenbacher, sometimes called the Popcorn King, was born on a farm in Brazil, Indiana, our largest popcorn-producing state. After becoming an agronomist, and a very shy one, he became a life-long popcorn promoter. He died in 1995 at the age of 88, and he's supposed to have eaten popcorn every day of his life.
Sugar-free, fat-free and low in calories, popcorn receives the endorsement of the National Cancer Institute, the American Dental Association, the American Diabetes Association and the American Dietetic Association. Use this calorie guide for one cup of popped corn:
Air-popped, 30 calories
Oil-popped, 55 calories
Buttered, 90 to 120 calories
Caramel-coated, 151 calories
It's a great dietary bargain states the Popcorn Board in Chicago. "Because popcorn is a high-carbohydrate, low sugar food, it is ideal for snacking. When Hunger strikes between meals, popcorn satisfies the appetite without spoiling it."
Use popcorn wherever you'd use croutons; this includes tossing with salads and floating on soups.
Serve popcorn in a bowl with milk as any puffed cereal. Some may want to add a bit of sugar.
Create your own trail mix using dried fruits, nuts and popped corn
Right after popping, go over it quickly with some lite butter-flavored cooking spray, then toss with your favorite spice, seasoning mix or finely-chopped herbs.
Stir ½ cup each of sugar, light corn syrup or honey and chunky peanut butter over low heat until melted.
Drizzle over freshly popped corn.

Pine beetles and S.W. #Colorado forests
From the Associated Press via The Fort Collins Coloradoan:
Over the past two decades, more than 120,000 acres of the Weminuche Wilderness — Colorado's largest designated wilderness area at 488,210 acres — have fallen prey to the destructive spruce beetle.
In its wake, the spruce beetle has left vast areas of dead trees, most visible over Wolf Creek Pass. However, the spruce beetle, for the most part, targets only Engelmann spruce at elevations of about 9,000 feet.
The pine beetle, on the other hand, is another destructive force all its own.
From 1996 to 2016, the pine beetle ripped through more than 3.4 million acres of Colorado's forests – about 14 percent – according to the Colorado State Forest Service, by far the state's largest infestation.
However, the majority of forests affected by the pine beetle were in northern areas of the state. Southwest Colorado, for the most part, has been relatively unaffected by Colorado's most harmful tree pest.
That is until recently.
The Forest Service's Fitzgerald said an annual survey of an area by Vallecito Lake, northeast of Durango, found that a number of ponderosa pine trees appeared dead because of beetle kill.
"We did what we could do to remove the population there, but it made me concerned the beetles may be increasing up there," she said. "We just haven't seen too much pine beetle on the Columbine District."
Upon further inspection, it turned out there were three subspecies of bark beetle that appeared responsible for the kill-off.
The western pine beetle hit the tree's main body. The ips beetle worked on the top of the tree, as well as its limbs. And the red turpentine beetle ate away at the base of the tree.
"Any one of those beetles don't necessarily do enough to kill a tree, but when they all get together, you start seeing mortality," Fitzgerald said. "The length and number of different kinds of beetles attacking all at once is unprecedented as far as we know."
This particular kill-off is a new discovery for forest managers in this region, which prompted other surveys that found the pine beetle at work near Rockwood, Junction Creek and Falls Creek.
Kent Grant, a district forester with the Colorado State Forest Service, said southwest Colorado has seen periodic outbreaks of pine beetle, but current conditions in the forests here have spelled out a sort of perfect storm.
Most of the ponderosa trees at risk are more than a 100 years old in densely forested areas.
"When trees are getting older, and at the same time competing for sunlight, nutrients and moisture, they're stressed and easier targets," Grant said.
Plus, Grant said the effects of climate change are added to the mix: warmer winters translate to longer seasons for beetles to take their toll, and drought weakens a tree's ability to defend itself.
"Bark beetles are native, but when the conditions are right, then that's when we start to see more and more tree mortality," he said.
And with climate change, "we're not used to seeing this kind of mortality."
Unfortunately, there's not much in the way of preventing a beetle outbreak. Certain steps, such as thinning and prescribed burns, can hold off a massive die-off, but those costly measures can work only for so long…
Fitzgerald said at this point, the pine beetle activity is not at an "epidemic" level, but it's worth keeping a very cautious eye on. The Forest Service is evaluating its options to get out on the front end.
Some good news, she said, is that there are tree stands in the area that seem to have fought off the pine beetle's attack.
In the meantime, Fitzgerald said people need to be aware that cutting wood could attract beetles at certain times of the year. And, it's important that recreationists do not damage any trees, thereby making them easier prey for beetles.
"So far, it's natural," Fitzgerald said. "I just don't want it to get any bigger."
An ambitious new climate plan for #Denver — The North Denver Tribune #ActOnClimate #KeepItInTheGround
Here's an in-depth report from Laurie Dunklee writing in The North Denver Tribune. Click through and read the whole article. Here's an excerpt:
Their 80×50 Climate Goal Stakeholder Report suggests accelerating the strategies already underway in order to meet the goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 80 percent in Denver by the year 2050 (compared to 2005 levels). That goal was set in Denver's 2015 Climate Action Plan. "Future generations will judge us on how well we preserved the habitability of our only home—Earth," says the report's introduction.
One of the accelerated targets of the recent 80×50 Climate Goal report is to power 100 percent of Denver's electricity through renewable sources by 2030. "More renewable energy on the grid is the most important thing because the grid powers other points, like heating office buildings, homes and electric vehicles. The cleaner the grid, the cleaner it is to power all these things," said Tom Herrod, Climate & GHG Program Administrator with the Environmental Quality Division of Denver's Department of Environmental Health.
Electricity providers have been required since 2004 to increase the percentage of their power from renewable sources. In 2016, 29 percent of Xcel Energy's power mix was renewable energy. "Xcel already has made a big commitment to raise that percentage to 55 percent by 2026," said Herrod. "We're having discussions with them about lots of options. Innovation is moving quickly, so the 100 percent goal is possible."
CPW: Harvey Gap inspection complete, popular reservoir begins to refill, emergency fish salvage lifted
Here's the release from Colorado Parks and Wildlife:
Colorado Parks and Wildlife has lifted an emergency fish salvage at Harvey Gap Reservoir. Effective immediately, all usual bag and possession limits for the various fish species are back in place.
The reservoir is steadily refilling after the Silt Water Conservancy District lowered levels to perform an inspection of the reservoir's outlet infrastructure. According to Silt Water, they found no significant concerns.
"It depends on snowfall, but even if we have an average winter, water-based recreation at the reservoir should be pretty much back to normal by spring," said Park Manager Brian Palcer. "However, folks may still have an opportunity to enjoy canoeing or kayaking before the reservoir ices over this winter."
Harvey Gap Reservoir currently does not have an Aquatic Nuisance Species inspection station. All watercraft normally requiring an inspection cannot launch at Harvey Gap until further notice.
Muddy conditions still exist around the water's edge and everyone is advised to use caution and avoid becoming stuck in deep mud.
Harvey Gap State Park is a day-use area only, except when fishing. Overnight camping and pets are prohibited.
A valid park pass is required, available at self service stations at Harvey Gap State Park or at the Visitor Center at nearby Rifle Gap State Park.
Farmers Irrigation Company owns Harvey Gap Reservoir. The Silt Water Conservancy District is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the reservoir and associated irrigation water delivery infrastructure. CPW leases the surface of the reservoir and manages the park's trails, day-use areas and fishery.
CPW: Voluntary fishing closure in place at 'toilet-bowl', near Ruedi Reservoir, effective immediately
Here's the release from Colorado Parks and Wildlife (Mike Porras):
Effective immediately, Colorado Parks and Wildlife is instituting a voluntary fishing closure at a popular area on the Frying Pan River located downstream from the Ruedi Reservoir Dam. The fishing spot – known locally as the 'toilet-bowl' – will experience significantly reduced flow as water that normally feeds the pool will be re-routed to facilitate required dam maintenance.
Work on the dam – owned and operated by the Bureau of Reclamation – could continue through Nov. 10; however, it could take longer if additional work is necessary.
"The situation will leave the fish in the pool isolated, stressed and very easy to catch," said Area Aquatic Biologist Kendall Bakich. "It would not be very sporting to fish in this area until after conditions improve."
Bakich says the angling community complied with a voluntary closure when a similar situation occurred last year.
"We appreciate everyone's patience." she said. "We will let the public know when conditions improve and when the voluntary fishing closure is lifted."
Anglers can expect to see signage advising of the closure and are urged to find alternative fishing locations in the meantime.
Although the closure is voluntary, CPW officials say a more stringent emergency closure enforceable by law is an option if angler compliance is minimal.
For more information about the voluntary fishing closure, contact Colorado Parks and Wildlife's Glenwood Springs office at 970-947-2920.
For more information about work on the dam and dam operations, contact Tim Miller of the Bureau of Reclamation at 970-962-4394.
The day that Breckenridge got lucky — The Mountain Town News
From The Mountain Town News (Allen Best):
Bags were packed, but then the wind shifted. Emergency over—for this time
Breckenridge was full of people the day last summer that fire erupted in the nearby Tenmile Range. "It was scary. It was so close," says Peter Grosshuesch, the town's director of planning.
July 5 was a warm day, even at 9,600 feet in elevation. The three feet of wet, spring snow that had doused Summit County six weeks before had vanished. More important than daytime heat was uncommon overnight warmth: temperatures dropped only to about 60, instead of the normal 40s.
Grosshuesch watched the smoke billow into the sky from his office in Breckenridge, about four miles away. "Everybody got real serious, real fast," he remembers.
Flames pushed 150 feet above the top of the trees as the fire roared through stands of lodgepole pine, both live and dead, then invaded the band of spruce-fir.
High wind can easily send firebrands aloft for a mile and onto roofs and into front yards. Residents in the most vulnerable neighborhood near Breckenridge, a rural subdivision called Peak 7, were evacuated. But some had begun wondering if this fast-moving fire would reach Breckenridge itself.
Then the winds shifted again, turning the blaze back on itself. The fire was contained and then extinguished. The emergency was over—this time.
"We were very lucky," says Scott Fitzwilliams, supervisor of the White River National Forest, on whose lands the fire occurred. The winds, had they not changed, might well have pushed the fire through the rural subdivision and to the Breckenridge ski resort. Beyond was Breckenridge, the town. "It looked like there was nothing to stop it."
The question posed by the Breckenridge fire is whether enough has been done to abate the risk. It's a question worth pondering far beyond Colorado's Summit County as fire season lengthens and intensifies even as construction of homes continues into what is called the wildland-urban interface.
Mountain towns this summer had many reasons to be reminded of their own risks. Smoke in Whistler from fires in the interior of British Columbia was "ungodly," in the words Grosshuesch, who was there for a visit. Fires also raged in Montana and Idaho while the beetles killing spruce trees in southern Colorado continued northward toward Crested Butte.
This autumn, wildfire has killed 42 people in the wine country north of San Francisco and destroyed 5,700 homes and other structures. The Napa Valley has a different climate, drier and more Mediterranean, than ski towns.
But there's also this: high mountain towns are warming, perhaps more rapidly than lower elevations. It's possible the fire risk is also escalating more rapidly. That's one of the possible take-aways that came within a strong wind during July of incinerating Breckenridge.
Asbestos forests
Large-scale wildfires have always occurred in high mountain valleys, if perhaps not very often. For example, paleoecological research has shown evidence of a large-scale fire in the early 1600s that burned much of the forest in the Fraser Valley, home to Winter Park.
Fires, however, were virtually unknown as resort communities were built around ski areas during the 1960s and 1970s. It was a cooler, wetter time, and many forests had been logged heavily in the century before. The trees were still relatively young, and those fires that did occur were quickly suppressed.
Breckenridge and Summit County—and many other mountain communities—continued to believe they were different, their forests more like asbestos, yet still lovely. Who among the oldest residents—and to be clear, there weren't that many older residents in the young ski towns—could remember anything else?
That same sense of exceptionalism continued even as fires raged most of the summer of 1988 in Yellowstone National Park and then, in the 1990s, in the foothills along Colorado's Front Range southwest of Denver.
Then came 2002, hot winds in April eviscerating the thin snowpack and producing a peak runoff six weeks early that was almost too feeble to be noticed. In the first weekend of June, major forest fires erupted near Durango, in Glenwood Springs, and west of Colorado Springs, the latter going on to burn 138,000 acres.
Summit County heeded those visual cues. In 2006, the county adopted a community wildfire protection plan. A wildlife council continues to meet regularly. In 2008, voters approved property tax assessments that yield $500,000 a year for grants to assist neighborhoods and homeowners' associations. The money can also be used to create water cisterns, to assist firefighters. A portable wood-chipper was purchased with the money, and it is taken to every street in the county at least twice a year.
Insurance companies have also pushed for efforts to provide what is called defensible space, by removing vegetation around homes. In some instances insurance companies are asking homeowners to have their properties inspected by the local fire districts.
"We used to require people to preserve trees and use them to screen development as much as possible," says Jim Curnutte, the county planning director. "We would not let you cut down a tree. Now, we might require you to cut down a tree, because of the defensible space ordinance of the building code. If you come in for a new permit or a substantial remodel, you have to meet your defensible space requirements."
Vegetation must be at least 30 feet from a structure and in some cases 100 feet. But under Colorado law, statutory-rule town and county governments cannot impose defensive space requirements retroactively; only home-rule governments such as Breckenridge and Pitkin County can.
Social license to cut trees
Summit County Commissioner Dan Gibbs, who is also a wildland firefighter, says that all planning now assumes fires will occur. "It's not a matter of if but rather of when we have more fires in our community," he says.
As a firefighter, he has worked in California and elsewhere. "I have seen homes with defensible space that were saved, and I have seen homes where vegetation is connected to houses, and those homes have been destroyed," he says. It's not an absolute, he adds, but he also knows that firefighters will spend more time trying to save a home with defensible space for a simple reason: they have improved chances of success.
Educating homeowners about wildfire risk is important, but Gibbs say there's often a difference in attitudes between locals and those who are second-home owners. The non-residents more generally resist efforts to impose defensible space around buildings.
In Summit County, the beetle epidemic gave the Forest Service social license to cut trees from 12,000 to 15,000 acres.
"What chance do you think there was of doing that before the bark beetle?" Fitzwilliams asks.
The Forest Service has spent $18 million in the last 10 to 12 years in forest thinning, clearing roads and trails and other work related to removing vegetation in Summit County. Some has been sold to sawmills, but there's little revenue from that. "We have low value trees," explains Fitzwilliams of lodgepole pine.
Denver Water has been a major partner in this new work. It collects water for diversion to the Denver metropolitan area from a tunnel at Dillon Reservoir; the agency provides water for 1.4 million people, a quarter of all Colorado residents. The water agency has found forest fires expensive. Two hot-burning fires, in 1996 and then in 2002, caused heavy erosion into Denver's reservoirs in the foothills southwest of the city. The soils there are highly erosive and granitic by nature. The reservoirs had to be dredged, with incomplete success.
Better and less expensive than remediation, the agency decided, would be prevention.
In a program called Forest to Faucets, Denver in 2010 partnered with state and federal forestry agencies to thin forests in Summit County and the Winter Park area. The city draws water from both areas.
Fires sop up Forest Service budget
Denver Water in February announced a five-year renewal of the partnership, putting in $16.5 million to match like amounts from the state and federal agencies for continuing thinning of forests. The first phase also saw 750,000 trees being planted.
In announcing the commitment, Denver Water's CEO Jim Lochhead said Congress should take heed of what Denver and other water providers, including Aurora and Colorado Springs are doing.Instead of allocating massive amounts of money
for putting out fires, he said, Congress should provide more money to the Forest Service for forest management in critical areas.
That same point was made by Fitzwilliams, the White River supervisor, in an August meeting with officials from Colorado ski towns. He said fire suppression used to account for 15 percent of the Forest Service budget nationally, but has grown to 55 percent. This year it will probably push 60 percent. "So much of our money is in managing these large, expensive wildfires," he says.
Ironically, fire suppression in the past is partly to blame for the growing threat. In recent decades, foresters have taken a more measured approach about when to let fires burn and when to put them out.
But if cutting trees is one obvious solution to the threat of fires, ecologists warn it cannot be the only answer: There are simply too many trees.
"Treatments in and of themselves are not going to save the day in terms of changing patterns of fire," says Ray Rasker of Headwaters Economics in Bozeman, Mont. Treatments do make sense in targeted areas, such as what Denver Water is doing, he adds. But like Fitzwilliams, he stresses that fire altogether cannot be contained. It's part of the ecosystem. Instead, communities need to adapt themselves to living within a fire ecosystem, he says. His consultancy, working with two others, helped Summit County create its community plan.
Speaking with members of the Colorado Association of Ski Towns in August, Fitzwilliams emphasized the words "conversations" and "responsibilities" among communities, land managers, and local governments. He thinks many tools— including prescribed fire and thinning—must be employed. He hopes to see greater age diversity in trees stands and some deliberate manipulation of forests in the wildland-urban interface to promote species such as aspen, which are somewhat less fire prone.
And warming temperatures
All this will be needed, if a trend noticed by Brad Piehl at the Peak 2 fire becomes more prevalent. He's a watershed planner whose company, JW Associates, works with Denver, Colorado Springs, and other cities that draw water from high mountain valleys. Piehl himself lives near Breckenridge and watched the Peak 2 fire from his home with this important characteristic: It started in lodgepole pine and, after continuing to warm up on the downed logs, then invaded spruce-fir. This is a changed dynamic, previously observed last year in Colorado's North Park. It also puts high-mountain resorts at greater risk.
Piehl, in speaking with Colorado Association of Ski Town members in August, also showed a slide (above) that represents the changing species that may result from warmer temperatures predicted as a result of accumulating greenhouse gas emissions.
Fire season is lengthening, some say by 75 days. That seems too much for Summit County, says Piehl. But even if it's just 30 days more each year, "we're still in trouble," he adds. "That's still a significant change."

When we discuss living trusts and other estate planning documents, we often focus on how they can help and how to set them up. But we often overlook details about what happens once the plan is in place.
California law limits how long a trust interest can last
Creating a family trust that will endure for generations is an ambition of many people who have amassed significant wealth. Under California law, however, there is a limit on how long an interest created by a trust can last. That limit is called the "rule against perpetuities."
Living trusts have many advantages in California
For some people in California, estate planning is very simple. The cornerstone of their estate plan is a simple will containing instructions as to how their assets should be distributed upon death. Combined with a durable power of attorney to provide some protection if they become incapacitated, and a living will to make sure their health care wishes are respected, they have all they need in an estate plan.
What are the duties of a trustee when the trustor dies?
Under California law, a trustee has significant responsibilities. Some of the most important of these arise upon the death of the person creating the trust - called the trustor or settlor.
Using a living trust to avoid probate in California
Probate in California is unfortunately an expensive and time-consuming process. Probate refers to the court proceedings to administer the estate of a deceased person and distribute their assets to heirs and beneficiaries. Court costs and legal fees can be prohibitive. For this reason, many people who are beginning the estate planning process are interested in avoiding probate.
A California pet trust can ensure care for a beloved companion
Trusts are a popular estate planning vehicle in California. But trusts can be used for many purposes besides managing financial assets for the benefit of loved ones. In fact, California's Probate Code specifically says a trust can be established for any purpose that is not illegal or contrary to public policy. A good example of a specialized trust is the pet trust.
Is it possible to modify an irrevocable trust in California?
In this blog we have on several occasions discussed the advantages of a revocable trust for estate planning purposes in California. A revocable trust is what the name implies: it can be modified or terminated at any time during the settlor's lifetime. But what about an irrevocable trust? Can it ever be modified or terminated?
Transferring assets is key to a California trust
The revocable trust is a popular estate planning vehicle in California. With a revocable trust an individual can avoid probate, protect the person's privacy, and provide for management of assets both during the person's lifetime and after death. To establish a trust, the first major step is to prepare and sign a trust document which sets out how the assets in the trust are to be managed, and under what circumstances income and principal are to be distributed to the beneficiaries.
Can a trust shield an inheritance from creditors in California?
In California, the revocable trust is a popular estate planning vehicle, in part because it provides for management of trust assets by a trustee during the settlor's life and after their death. A trust will typically provide that income generated by the trust assets will be paid to the beneficiaries at designated intervals. The trust may specify circumstances under which the trustee can pay trust principal to the beneficiaries, and may provide for lump sum payments of principal at designated times. A revocable trust may also give the trustee discretion about when to make payments to the beneficiaries.
What are the different types of estate planning trusts?
This California estate planning blog has discussed trusts in the past. Generally, a trust is a legal device that protects a property right for a person while that property is held by another individual. Though trusts can serve a wide range of intents and purposes, they are generally grouped into one of two categories -- revocable or irrevocable.

Okay, he wasn't serving Drake eyebrows. It was even better than that!! My BFF in my head, Kid Fury, blessed us with his presence in Brooklyn this week at Cold Stone Creamery (my off-limits happy place). He was as jovial as you would expect him to be, as he surprised his fans serving his very own icecream creations behind the counter in full uniform ensemble. From the self-titled "Kid Fury" to the "Don't Come For Me" (my choice of the evening remixed with caramel and sprinkles. He called me creative. Thanks dear!) to "T.RASH," flavor concoctions featuring amaretto and cake batter icecream, fudge, yellow cake, brownies and Oreo galore, there was a diabetes-in-a-cup flavor for every sweet tooth appetite.
The turnout wasn't as big as his last Brooklyn event at Paper Doll Boutique, (most likely because the Cold Stone location was in the far, far away Sheepshead neighborhood of Brooklyn), but that was a good thing because that gave him more opportunities to interact with his admirers and focus on his day job as a Cold Stone employee. He was such a good sport and quickly got the hang of the complex gourmet icecream assembly line. He even provided back-up beats for the staff when they sang their tip songs! Too cute…for you.
Kid Fury, the YouTube sensation with over 6.7 million video views and over 46,00 subscribers, stole my heart when I watched him in the "S**t Black Gays Say" videos late last year has found himself a home on my bookmark page, entertaining me week to week on the latest "Lies, Fairytales and Fallacies" going on in the gossip world as well as updates on the life and legacy of his fairy godmother, Beysus, known to most as Beyonce. He's based in Miami, so when he comes up for a visit to NYC I have to make time for my queen. It was a drive to get there, but nothing could keep me away from an evening of Kid Fury and my diet-breaking Cold Stone Creamery. He took pictures, cracked jokes, made icecream, kissed people's babies…it was like meeting the President without the Secret Service.
Needless to say, everyone had fun getting served by the server of unforgettable one-liners. My fave new one of the evening:
Fury: Are you allergic to nuts?
Customer: No
Fury: Great, so we all a part of the same ministry.
I. Can't. With. This. Boy. Hopefully this will be the beginning of a beautiful Twitter friendship.
Another Day in Brooklyn…
