Thunderbolt-equipped peripherals appear on Mac store

Although LaCie was quick to follow Apple's unveiling of Thunderbolt in February with a new HDD supporting the technology, there have been few ripples in the new I/O pond since. Now, after a brief false start, some new Thunderbolt-equipped RAID storage systems from Promise and a Thunderbolt cable from Apple have appeared in the Apple store...

New study finds national parks at risk

Filed under: Activism, Arts and Culture, History, Learning, North America, United States, News

The National Parks Conservation Association released a comprehensive report yesterday that paints a grim picture for the future of the national parks in the U.S. The report, which is entitled "The State of America's National Parks," examines a number of economic and environmental threats to the parks and is the result of more than a decade of research. The non-profit NPCA also calls on the Obama Administration to address those threats while developing a comprehensive plan for the future, ahead of the 2016 centennial of the National Park Service.

The report, which can be read in it's entirety here, identifies a number of challenges to the future of America's national parks. The threats, which are both old and new, include pollution, invasive species, climate change, and continued funding shortfalls, amongst others. The NPCA goes on to say that many of these threats are already having a real and dramatic impact on the parks. During their research they found that 63% of the parks surveyed had issues with air quality to some degree or another. Others were found to have poor water quality as well, while a staggering 95% of the parks assessed had lost at least one plant or animal species over the course of the past ten years.

According to the NPCA, the largest threats to the parks, and their natural resources, stem from two sources - human activity and climate change. In the case of the former, the development of lands surrounding the park is changing the natural habitats of wildlife and contaminating both the air and the water. It may be the latter that has the most lasting effect however, as the report cites threats to everything from the redwoods of Sequoia National Park in California to the coastlines of Katmai in Alaska, as being dramatically impacted by the changing climate.

Family and the Olympics

---

Marcus

My Cousin is "gliding" - walking by holding onto furniture and scaring his parents as he tries to go from one island to the next. He isn't quite up to independent walking yet, but you get the feeling it is coming soon.

2010 Olympics

The Olympics have been a long time coming and they are finally here. I decided to wander around and check out some of the features. It's the Vancouver I remember, but a little different. The zip line across Robson Square is cool - apparently the line up was 6 hours on Saturday. The line up to get into the Bay (olympic store) was steady at 30 to 45 minutes.

The Olympic cauldron was nice to see - you can't get very close, but perhaps that makes it look better.

Granville Street around Robson is closed and people mass there to see the "lanterns". The sea wall swarms with tourists.

On some of the old expo site (soon to be condo's) there are a number of "houses" - Quebec house (the giant Q), Saskatchwan house (the dome) and Ontario House (the string art). The houses don't have that much inside - usually some sort of food service showing off local wine and food. There is usually a photo display of local tourist attractions. Sochi House (Science World) has a large display by the 2014 winter Olympic site in Sochi, Russia. My favorite house was Northern Canada House - they had taxidermy models of northern animals you have your photo with.

Every night there is a small fireworks display in False Creek. The fireworks happens in concert with a laser display that shines images onto a spray of water. It's all very impressive.

Want to mow your lawn faster? The tractor you choose makes a difference

Want to finish mowing and trimming your big lawn in record time? We're not talking about racing lawn tractors and riding mowers here (though it does exist as a popular sport), just getting a big job done. While analyzing reviews for this year's report on lawn tractors, we found some models that not only zip across a lawn--and around trees, shrubs and other obstacles-- but also mow so close that they minimize trimming.

Cucumber Peanut Salad

In addition to the Sharpie pens, the half-full mug of tea, the snapshots, the magazines, the letters to be mailed, and the stamps to go on those letters, I have two new cookbooks on my desk. Two books to really dive into. I've mentioned this before, but a number of us have been choosing cookbooks to focus on, and we've just chosen these to be next. So, if you happen to have Nigel Slater's Tender V. 1 and/or Sanjeev Kapoor's How to Cook Indian, please feel free to join us. These are the picks for the next two months, which should give you enough time to buy them or check them out from the library if you like. We did Breakfast, Lunch, Tea: The Many Little Meals of Rose Bakery last, and Moro East and The Essential New York Times Cookbook before that. Today's Cucumber Peanut Salad was my first foray into Sanjeev's book and it doesn't disappoint - chopped cucumbers, spices, toasted peanuts, coconut, and green chiles come together in a refreshing but surprisingly substantial salad.

Tender V.1 is by Nigel Slater, and is one of the most beautiful cookbooks I've purchased. At its most simple and basic it is about one man cooking from his garden. But, as anyone who has spent much time with a Nigel Slater book knows, the simplest ideas, or ingredients, or cooking techniques often develop into something completely captivating. And his recipes deliver. So, this pick was a no-brainer. How to Cook Indian was a bit of a wild card choice. After my book signing in Berkeley, I was invited by the shop to choose any book I liked. I tucked the massive orange Indian volume under my arm, went home, and spent hours the next morning tagging recipes - so many! And today's salad was one of them.

I took some liberties with this based on personal preference, and readily available ingredients. That's just how I roll when it comes to cooking Indian these days. I don't always have all the ingredients on hand, but I try not to let that deter me. Instead of trying to get thing perfectly "authentic" or as written, I wing it a bit, based on what I think will taste good within the general framework of a recipe. So, for this salad - I didn't have fresh coconut, but I did have big, dried coconut flakes. I knew I could toast them, and they'd be great. So I went with it. I like to leave some of the peel on my cucumbers - so that is what you see here. That sort of thing. I forgot to grind the peanuts - the sky did not fall.

Need A New Camping Stove To Include In Your Outdoor Equipment Gear?

                                I remember, back in November, talking about all the ?soft deep fluffy snow blanketing our mountain trails?. Well, here it is, the 26th of January, and the local mountains are almost bare. I just got back from walking the dog and realized that the grass is very green, there are fat buds on the bushes and tulips are shooting up all over the place? AND? there is next to no snow on the mountains! This isn?t actually very good since we?re hosting the Winter Olympics in a couple of weeks; however, it is affording us an excellent opportunity to get in some early spring camping. So, here we go on our first outdoor camping trip of the year (and decade!). We?ve decided to take two weeks and do a little exploring on some of the local hills (away from the Olympic venues). We?re going to set up a base camp and do a few two-day outdoor hiking forays. Because we?re still recuperating from the indulgences of the Christmas holidays and are a little bit (ha, ha) out of shape, we are going to go as light as we can on the hiking camping gear. There are a few things I can skimp on but a good camping stove is not one of them. For a change we are going to try the EtaPower EF Trail Stove. This stove is the lightweight version of the original Eta Power EF stove. A net stuff sack and a lid have replaced the storage bag and frying pan. It weighs only 27 ounces and it?s about the same size as the Jetboil GCS but it is reported to boil water faster and be more fuel-efficient. They say that a 220-gram gas container (sold separately) will heat enough food for two people for at least 6 days, which will be just perfect for us. As well as the net stuff sack and lid, this EtaPower EF Trail Stove comes with a Piezo electric ignition, windscreen, burner stand, a 1.7-liter pot and handle. I am really looking forward to using this stove for the first time to make the first cup of hot chocolate on our first outdoor camping hiking adventure in the first year of this new decade. Let the games begin!
