I'm pretty sure that every movie I've ever seen has had the same subplot – finding your soul mate. (If that's the main plot, it's a chick flick, and I don't watch it, unless my soul mate drags me.) Single life might be fun and all, but no movie ever ends with, "And then the spell was broken and he was single again!" Even The Change-Up ends with both main characters, Dave and Mitch, in loving relationships.
Every movie I've ever seen has had the same subplot – finding your soul mate.
The Change-Up is a movie that some might say is not realistic, because even though Dave is married, he is still somehow able to hang out with Mitch. Dave (Jason Bateman) has a wife and three kids, and is a lawyer who – as is every lawyer in every movie ever – is about to make partner. Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) is a perpetual single guy whose fridge is a morgue to half-eaten take out so that the smell won't escape and take over his apartment, and is the embodiment of the guy everyone went to high school with, who was cool back in high school, so he decided to stay that way forever.
Dave misses the single life – he rushed through it to get to his goal, but now he feels like if he could just go back, knowing what he does now, he would do things differently. Dave would like to be able to read an entire book – on the toilet, preferably – go to a restaurant and order six desserts, not have to call his wife before going to the supermarket, and even visit the aquarium, which he apparently is not aware that you can also do with families. Mitch is jealous of Dave's life as well, or at least he says he is, because when someone says he'd like to have your life, it's only polite to say you'd like his. They express this feeling the weekend before every major obligation of their lives (mergers, big breaks, and a wedding renewal, because "as long as you both shall live" has an expiration date, apparently), and the next thing you know, their wish comes true.
Of course, as soon as they switch bodies, what happens is exactly what happens in every other body switch movie, such as Avatar, Freaky Friday, and that other one with Lindsey Lohan. They learn that the grass might seem greener, but if it's your grass, you have to mow it and water it and keep your kids from digging it up looking for buried treasure. Mitch, for example, learns that it's not easy to deal with whatever twin babies throw at you at 3 in the morning. I'm a father of four kids, and I don't even know if I can handle twins. One of my biggest parenting crutches has always been my kids' age difference. ("Why does he get one?" "Because he's younger than you." Why does she get one?" "Because she's older than you.") And when one twin wakes up, both wake up.
Dave, meanwhile, learns that all the highlights of Mitch's life are pretty disappointing. He learns that his single days are gone, and not just because he got married. They're gone because he's past the age where it was time to move on. Single life is fun, but being the last man standing is not. It's like continuously watching the beginning of a movie because that's your favorite part. You don't get the payoff at the end of the movie, and eventually, you'll scratch the DVD. The end of the movie, as we pointed out, is people finding their soul mates.
Of course, that's not where the story ends in real life. Movies end on that happy ending, and people think that's it – marriage is a happy ending. You got the item you wanted, and you level up. You get your trophy (wife), like anything else you've strived to get for two hours, and then she sits on your shelf forever, aside from occasional dusting. The movie ends at marriage, so people think that from then on, you live happily ever after, and family life is supposed to be smooth sailing. You got that item, now it's time to put all your focus into leveling up on your job. But can you say this when it comes to your job for example?
"I got the job! Now I can put that to the side and never show up, and I'll focus on getting a motorcycle!"
No. Getting a job is just the beginning. If you want to keep getting what you want out of a job, you have to keep showing up and putting the work in. If you want to keep getting what you want out of marriage and family life, you have to do the same. Marriage is not an ending, it's a beginning.
Marriage is an evolution into a new state of being. The Hebrew word for love is "ahava", coming from the root word "hav", which means "to give". The more we give, the more we love. The more we put the work in, the more we get out of it. Nothing worth having ever came easy.
But in today's culture, the word "have" means "to own personally". I have a motorcycle. I have a family.
Sure, it looks like hard work with no end in sight. But like the characters in the movie, it's not always what it looks like.
Take small children, for example. Small children are something that God provides to give married couples a common enemy and hopefully keep them on the same team. A kid is like a boss that makes demands on your time and gives you nothing substantial in return. He will never do anything for you that you couldn't do yourself with less effort, and will never tell you anything you didn't know that will actually affect your life. At most, he will get you things so that you don't have to get up, provided those things are less than 3 feet off the ground, and even that will be an argument. Generally, unless you've made a very big mistake, your spouse does more than that. But the benefit from kids is …wait for it…"nachas" – the pride you feel when they do something that exceeds the simple tools that you gave them to grow. "Look what he did! By himself! I didn't know he could do that!" And that reward is something you will have forever. It's something that won't go away. Ever.
The reward for buying ice cream is ice cream. Ice cream is the best, plus it cools you off. But in a few hours, the reward will be gone. At worst, you will hate yourself for eating it, and at best, you will have nothing to show for it but a stain on your shirt. The reward is proportional to the work. If the line is too long, you don't bother going for ice cream. The longer it takes to accomplish something and the more work goes into it, the longer your reward generally lasts.
So with kids and family, it's all about the nachas factor -- that family of kids and grandkids and a loving spouse with whom to grow old, for the rest of your life. Just think, when you are 80 years old, and it's Passover, and you are sitting around your table and your grandkids steal the afikomen and won't give it back unless you promise to buy them a laser tele-transporter to Jupiter, it will be worth it.

TORONTO (Sept. 13, 2:05 p.m. ET) — In the aftermath of a successful pilot program, Canada's largest city, Toronto, is adding clear PET clamshell containers and all mixed rigid plastics to its Blue Bin recycling program.
Toronto becomes the third major Canadian city — along with Ottawa and Calgary — to recycle clamshells.
The Blue Bin program in Toronto currently accepts plastic bottles, jugs, jars, tubs and lids.
Those additions to the recycling stream are expected to divert 4 million pounds of plastics from landfills annually at a net cost to the city of $78,000, according to a report submitted Sept. 12 to the city council's Public Works and Infrastructure committee by Jim Harnum, general manager of the city's Solid Waste Management Services department.
"Solid Waste Management plans on adding all mixed rigid plastics, including plastic clamshell containers, to the Blue Bin program in the latter part of 2012," Harnum said in the report's summary.
"We applaud the expansion of collection to include clear PET clamshell containers," said Dave Cornell, technical director of the Association of Postconsumer Plastic Recyclers, whose members have more than 90 percent of the post-consumer plastic reprocessing capacity in North America.
"PET clamshell packaging is a valuable new source of raw material for PET recycling," he said. "The announcement is a win for the city, a win for the province, and a win for the plastics recycling industry."
What helped opened the door for PET clamshell recycling in Toronto — which has a population of 2.6 million — was the Canadian Grocers Initiative, which went into effect this past January. That voluntary industry initiative, supported by the five major grocers in Canada, mandated the use of PET thermoformed clamshell packaging for most food packaging in grocery stores.
"Until recently, the city could not recycle plastic clamshell packaging because [it was made from] multiple plastic resins, which existing sorting technology could not process to satisfy market specifications," said the report from the Solid Waste Management Services department.
In the report, Harnum said the types of mixed rigid clamshells that Toronto residents can now recycle are clear fruit and vegetable containers, clear takeout food containers, clear molded bakery item trays, clear food storage containers, and clear egg cartons.
He said black clamshells, typically used by restaurants, should not be recycled at this point.
"We plan to use print and other applicable advertising methods to announce the addition of the new materials and reinforce the message," starting this autumn, said Harnum in the report to the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee. But the recycling of such items can begin immediately.
A year-long pilot program conducted at the Dufferin Material Recovery Facility — which handles about half of the city's recycling — demonstrated the feasibility of that MRF to sort rigid plastics to the specifications of plastics recyclers, said the report.
In addition, the report said Toronto has signed a seven-year recycling contract with the Canada Fibers Material Recovery Facility, now under construction, to replace three smaller processors — which have been handling the rest of the city's recycling on a short-term basis — but who do not have the capability to sort mixed rigid plastics.
Construction of the new Canadian Fibers MRF, which will have optical sorting capabilities, is expected to be completed by May 1 when the contracts with those smaller processors expire, the report said.

U-M, MSU award grants for Great Lakes climate change research
ANN ARBOR—University of Michigan scientists and their colleagues at Michigan State University have awarded six grants to organizations across the region for projects that will help decision-makers adapt to climate change and variability in the Great Lakes basin.
The grants were awarded by the Great Lakes Integrated Sciences and Assessments Center, a federally funded collaboration between U-M and MSU. GLISA researchers study issues related to climate change and variability in the Great Lakes basin and how the region can respond to climate-related risks, such as potential damages from changes in long-term temperature and precipitation patterns.
"Climate change is expected to have significant impacts on the Great Lakes region, and it's important for us to understand and prepare for them," said GLISA program manager David Bidwell, a research fellow at U-M's Graham Sustainability Institute. "These projects are laboratories for learning best practices for making decisions informed by climate science."
In addition to the grant awards, GLISA researchers recently posted a new set of white papers focused on potential impacts, vulnerabilities and adaptation options related to climate change and variability in the Midwest.
"These papers were prepared at the request of the U.S. Global Change Research Program and examine how climate change could affect water resources, forestry, biodiversity, transportation, energy, agriculture, tourism and recreation, and the region's coastal systems," said Donald Scavia, GLISA co-leader and special counsel to the U-M president for sustainability. "These assessments are critical, not only to the U.S. national climate assessment, but also to aid regional adaptation planning."
The reports are available at http://glisa.msu.edu/great_lakes_climate/nca.php.
The GLISA grants total about $231,000. Researchers at U-M and MSU will support the projects by providing information about historical climate in the region, as well as projected climate changes and their potential impacts. Social scientists will track the projects to identify best practices for making climate information more usable for decision-makers.
Details of the grants were finalized Oct. 30 at a GLISA team meeting in Ann Arbor. The one-year grants, which range in size from $10,000 to $50,000, were awarded for the following projects:
- "Adapting to climate change and variability: planning tools for Michigan communities." Lead investigator: Claire Layman, MSU Extension. Climatologists predict that the Midwest will become warmer and wetter, with increased temperature variation and heavier precipitation events. This project team will collaborate with Michigan communities to determine vulnerabilities, strengths and knowledge related to climate change, so that the communities can be resilient in the future by incorporating adaptation strategies into local land use master plans.
- "Assessing and communicating risks from climate variability for the Michigan tart cherry industry." Lead investigator: Nikki Rothwell, Northwest Michigan Horticulture Research Station. This project will compile weather and climate information to provide the cherry industry with reliable adaptation resources and strategies. Research results will help the industry make choices concerning risk mitigation and resource appropriation and will foster an understanding of climate variability and extreme weather events.
- "Development of an indicator suite and winter adaptation measures for the Chicago Climate Action Plan." Lead investigator: Martin Jaffe, Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant College Program. This project will formulate climate change indicators for local officials and planners to assist in more effective and efficient winter climate change adaptation decisions. It will complement strategies contained in the Chicago Climate Action Plan.
- "Climate information to support vulnerability and risk assessment for the Great Lakes basin municipalities." Lead investigator: Chandra Sharma, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. This project will create access to credible, locally relevant climate data for several communities near Lake Ontario in the Region of Peel, one of the most populous and urbanized areas of the Canadian Great Lakes basin. The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority will recommend specific strategies and practices relevant to the regions studied.
- "Making climate-resilient communities through a watershed approach." Lead investigator: Rebecca Esselman, Huron River Watershed Council. Current efforts to create climate-resilient communities within the watershed involve understanding various climate scenarios, identifying best management practices and analyzing case studies on adaptation strategies. The project will build on these tools to broaden the geographic participation of the watershed, support participants with priority tools and strategies, and conduct an in-depth case study to develop adaptive capacity in the basin.
- "How sensitive are agricultural best management practices and models to climate change? Framing key issues and uncertainties with expert opinion." Lead investigator: Kimberly Hall, The Nature Conservancy. This project will assess the vulnerabilities of current best management practices related to climate change to improve the efficiency, effectiveness and transparency of agriculturally focused conservation practices in the Great lakes basin.
The GLISA project is funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, with additional support from U-M and MSU. GLISA is part of a national network of regional centers focused on adaptation to climate change and variability.
GLISA's two overarching goals are to contribute to the long-term sustainability of the Great Lakes region in the face of a changing climate and to facilitate smart decision-making backed by scientific knowledge. For more information about GLISA, visit http://www.glisa.umich.edu.

Ljubodrag Grujic
Professor Grujic, as he is a professor of literature, has been practicing his art since 2000 and has been very active in Serbian heraldic circles and abroad. He is very much involved in trying to popularize heraldry in his native country, a very difficult task for anyone in any country of the world.
Grujic is an outstanding digital heraldic artist based out of Serbia with an exquisite eye for detail and a rare talent overall. These talents have been widely recognized and has been appointed Heraldic Artist to The Board for Heraldic & Genealogical Studies at The Centre for Research of Orthodox Monarchism (CROM), as Heraldic Artist to the Royal House of Bagration-Muhranski of Georgia and also to the editorial staff of the journal "Ocilo" of the Society "Milos Obilic". Also, he was most recently elected to the position of Corresponding Member of the Serbian Heraldic Society "White Eagle", a most prestigious heraldic organization.
I will not go over his biography here, as he has it very well presented on his personal website, however I will present some of his art in the form of what he's done for me.
In his excellent gallery on his website, one notices not just heraldry but also something that is closely related to this art: personal signums or cyphers. He has a deep appreciation for these personal elements and is immensely creative when designing new ones for clients.
Grujic also has a great passion for "Full Heraldic Achievements" as he calls them. Emblazons that include the shield, crest, a standard, any badges, any supporters and components that add more life to the design. There are many cases where the heraldic standard is being held by a supporter but, this is not be confused with supporters in the traditional sense.
As mentioned above, I had the good fortune to commission Prof. Grujic to work on a new heraldic badge and cypher for me and he did outstanding work. I am well aware that my arms are not the easiest to emblazon and combining elements of my heritage, both Greek and Chilean was tough. Another difficulty with my arms is the eradicated oak tree, a charge that at first glance seems simple but doing it right requires lots of patience and even more skill. The results were so great, the commission was extended to creating an ex libris and other art.
Throughout this post, I have used the images created for me by this most excellent heraldic artist that can also be found in his gallery. These images convey much more than anyone, no matter how eloquent, can say about this extremely talented artist.

Hannah Kent was a 17-year-old exchange student in Iceland when she first heard the story of Agnes Magnusdottir, the last person to be executed in that country before the death penalty was abolished in 1928. "She had been beheaded for her role in the 1828 murders of two men," says Kent, who was born in Adelaide, Australia. "I was immediately curious about the story. For some strange reason I still struggle to identify, I felt an uncanny kinship with this dead convicted murderess. How had she come to such a sorrowful end?"
Ten years later, curiosity about Magnusdottir's humanity and motives are twin sparks fueling Kent's meticulously researched Burial Rites, the story of an Icelandic woman who is charged with the murder of her master and sent to an isolated farm to await execution. The writing of the first draft only took five months, says Kent, but this was after she spent years visiting every place she would write about, sifting through parish records, letters, ministerial books, and censuses, and generally immersing herself in 19th-century Icelandic life: "What was the judicial system like? What did people eat, wear, do every day? How often did they wash their hair?"
Little, Brown vice-president and editor-in-chief Judy Clain was at the Adelaide Writers' Festival when she heard the pitch about Burial Rites from Pippa Masson at Curtis Brown Australia; Dan Lazar of Writer's House represents U.S. rights. "I was immediately hooked," says Clain. "I had that rare and wonderful exhilaration of falling in love with the writing, the story, and almost at the same time visualizing the jacket. A perfect moment as an editor."
Rights to Burial Rites have been sold in 18 countries, and film rights have been optioned by Allison Shearmur, who was one of the forces behind The Hunger Games film. Little, Brown is planning a first printing of 50,000 copies.

Keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the steering wheel.
That's the intention behind a new law in Michigan targeting novice teenage drivers.
It's an honorable intention. It might even give in-vehicle voice-operated systems such as MyFord Touch a boost among young buyers.
But it's only a first step in what needs to be an aggressive consistent campaign against distracted driving. Otherwise this law simply misses the mark.
On Tuesday, Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder signed a statute that prohibits novice teenage drivers from talking on a hand-held cell phone while driving. The law is dubbed "Kelsey's Law" after Kelsey Raffaele. Raffaele was 17 when she was killed in a 2010 car crash while talking on a cell phone.
A violation would result in a civil infraction determined by municipalities. But there are exemptions.
Teens can make emergency phone calls and they can talk on voice-operated, hands-free talking systems in vehicles. That last point gives automakers who offer such systems a marketing edge. But will this law save lives if teens are still focusing on anything but driving?
U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has said hands and eyes are not the only problem with distracted driving.
It's the mind, too.
So even hands-free systems can distract a driver from safely operating a vehicle.
This law is a step in the right direction in keeping the conversation going about the hazards of distracted driving.
But until we make texting and talking behind the wheel as socially unacceptable as drunk driving is, this law probably won't be much of a deterrent.

CERT (Community Emergency Response Team)
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Citizens' Academy program is sponsored through a partnership between Santa Clara City Officials, Fire Department Staff, and Firefighters' Local Union #1171 for the citizens of Santa Clara.
CERT training is held at Fire Station 2 / Training Center located at:
1900 Walsh Ave. in Santa Clara.
The Santa Clara Community Emergency Response Team program is designed to help the citizens of Santa Clara to be self-sufficient after a major disaster, when the scope of incidents can be overwhelming, and the need for a well-trained civilian work force can be invaluable. A major earthquake in the City of Santa Clara will cause damage to homes, roads, and other structures. Electricity, gas, water and phone service may be interrupted. Local resources will be overwhelmed with hundreds of emergency calls. You can help your family, your neighborhood, your business, and your community to recover by becoming part of or leading a Community Emergency Response Team.
As a community service, firefighters from the City's Fire Department train participants in neighborhoods and workplaces to be part of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). Through CERT, organizations and trained volunteers can serve as first responders until professional forces arrive. The motto of CERT is "To do the most good for the most people" in the event of a disaster.
The goals of CERT are:
- To promote household self-sufficiency
- To promote community self-sufficiency; and
- To organize for effective emergency response by coordinating the efforts of paid and volunteer responders.
Since the CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) program began in 1995, an estimated 1,500 participants have learned about the City's emergency organization and have received the 20 hour training. CERT graduates are located throughout the City and are an integral part in the City's emergency response efforts. The training, which consists of six, three-hour and twenty minute classes, covers the following:
- Safety
- Basic Medical Care
- Awareness
- Damage Assessment
- Preparation
- Light Search and Rescue
- Utility Control
- Communications
- Fire Suppression
- CERT Team Management
A small nominal fee covers the cost of materials. More individuals belonging to schools, churches, businesses, and other community organizations are being assembled to take the CERT training or are being targeted for training in an attempt to have every neighborhood in the City with a functioning civilian disaster emergency response team.
Consider becoming part of the team. The dates for a Free Disaster Preparedness Course (PDF) and the 2019 CERT Schedule (PDF) are now available. For more information on the Santa Clara CERT program, send an email to email@example.com or call the City's Office of Emergency Services located in the Fire Department at 408-615-4942 or sign up online today!

freebsd 7 installation partition size for 250gb harddrive
what would be ideal partition size for freebsd7 runing on a 250gb hardrive.
The server would be runing apache php and mysql and runing some busy sites with 100000 plus members.
Particularly what should be the size of /var
also of particularly interest would be what would be good sizes to use for /tmp /root etc as disc space I donot this is going to be a problem
will be leaving most of the remaining space for /usr
Freebsd 7 64 bit apache2.2 php5 mysql5
There is no ideal.
I have 250GBas well
Swap 4GB (i got 2GB ram) / 256MB /home, everything left /usr 10GB, can be smaller (perhaps 7GB), i'll probably resize it later, and make /bak slice :) /var 512MB
My last setup used some 5-6GB /usr
Note that you may need to make workarounds for some packages to compile, if you use small /usr, but that's very easy to do..
Edit: Forgot to mention, that i use FreeBSD 7 as my desktop OS, if you will use it as Server os, then you will need way bigger /var.... and something different probably
Last edited by graudeejs; 21st July 2008 at 02:52 PM.
i have my home directory in /usr
i have it as something like /usr/local/home
so after allocating 50 gb to /var the
Swap 4GB / 256Mb
THe rest I allocate to /usr.
I hope having the home directory in /usr is not going to cause any performance hits.
Freebsd 7 64 bit apache2.2 php5 mysql5
It, wont'.
But i won't do it, in case you mess system completely and want to reinstall from scratch, you can't newfs -U /usr, or you will lose your files
Do you have server?
Why do you need 50GB for /var ?
Ah, stupid me... it's a server
Last edited by graudeejs; 22nd July 2008 at 03:22 PM.
50gb for var
infact I have 100 gb for /var :-)
have 750gb disc space and big databases
Freebsd 7 64 bit apache2.2 php5 mysql5
By default 8% of allocated space is 'reserved' and you really do not wan to cut FreeBSD file systems down to the wire: not enough free space == reduced performance.
Since you've got a lot of room, planning to have 15% margin for performance reasons, plus 40~50% of the remaining disk space free on your partitions in case of surges in required space probably wouldn't be a bad idea.
The size of / needs to be large enough for your needs, remember every thing not moved onto another 'mount' is stored on /; my laptop runs 512mb / without problems but I *have* filled it to the brim on occasion. The size of /tmp should be able to hold the largest files you intend to place there, for example I often extract backups in /tmp/SomePrivateDir or /root -- which ever offers more space.
I would suggest a /usr partition of at least 2GB in order to handle the load of /usr and associated files. Remember /usr/ports, /usr/obj, /usr/src and /usr/local are stored on it. The standard contents of /usr alone should consume around 500~600MB not counting the aforementioned directories.
Assuming your storing the websites files in /var, you need it to be _at least_ big enough to hold all of your sites files and their databases. Loving margin for error, something like:
(disk quota + database quota) * 1.7.
would probably be suitable. The greater margins are always helpful and can cause less trouble later when todays constants (e..g sites * quota) change to tomorrows over time spent fixing it ;-).
You can off load most parts of the file system at will, for example you could mount /usr/ read only, then mount another partition on it read write as /usr/ports. (I've never tried this but I see no reason why it should not work!). If you have disk space, you can always create a small partition for a /home and make /usr/home a symlink to it. My file server has like a 400MB partition for /home, just enough free space that I can store larger files their in a 'pinch' without (as much of) the freedom for an attacker to bloat free space on /usr should the account be compromised ;-)
DISCLAIMER: I am not a professional user of FreeBSD, just my families computer geek.

For a server it is also recommended to have a separate partitions for //var/log and /var/tmp.
If you offer mail facilities to your users you also need a separate /var/mail.
And you are ignoring my advice to separate the base system, application and user generated data.

thanks for the replies
hi J65nko thanks for the help.
I would be grateful if you could put down your optimal partitions for a 750 gb harddrive.
Also could you elaborate on
So separate the system software, the server applications software and the user data by giving each a separate partition.
Freebsd 7 64 bit apache2.2 php5 mysql5
Without more detailed information which applications you use and exactly how the data for your users is being stored me. nor anybody else will be able to to give you an optimal suggestion Actually you should be able to get that info from your current server.
According to the FreeBSD hier(7) man page, programs installed from the ports system are installed in /usr/local. So by creating a separate filesystem for /usr/local you will separate your applications from the remainder of the system.
Rationale: a problematic port upgrade from one of your applications can now be easily fixed by restoring the previous version from backup.
If your data for your 10000 users is being stored in MySQL tables/databases somewhere under /var, then create a separate partition for those tables. Same for the mail.
Rationale: you don't want a massive spam attack (delivered to /var/mail) completely fill up your /var partition and thus denying your users to store their data in your MySQL databases located in the same /var partition. Or the other way around
You don't need to be a genius to debug a pf.conf firewall ruleset, you just need the guts to run tcpdump
For disc geometry I thought the below links were the best to get a quick overview.

devfs and procfs's basically are managed in memory by the kernel, it ain't a "formal" file system.
>the only bsd partition with 8GB is the tmp drive. does this mean no swap drive was created ?
I don't quite understand what you mean, because you just listed the contents of a swap partition above that text.

I take it all the below are bsdpartitions and not slices.
ad2s1a ad2s1b ad2s1e ad2s1f ad2s1d
Now the sysadmin who installed freebsd on myserver would he have any sane reason to give me a swap drive of 8gb when I have ram of 8gb.
The normal norm is to have x2 or x3 the amount of ram you have.
As always your help is greatly appreciated thank you

The discussion of what sice swap space is needed on a server, is most defiantly one I'll keep my head out of for any system beyond my personal control.
The only time I've had problems with FreeBSD detecting a machine with only 1 disk as anything >0, is my test machines SATA drive. Where the 'ATA_STATIC_ID' option in FreeBSDs GENERIC kernel configuration usually causes the machines lone hard drive to be detected as ad4, instead of ad0. A lot of people here have used FreeBSD longer then I have and on much more varied system configurations, maybe someone might have an idea?
The disk notation used on FreeBSD is very simple,
[driver name] [disk number] s[slice number] [[partition letter]]
So, using 'ad2s1b' as an example for the above notation. 'ad' is the driver name, '2' is the disk number, 's1' is the slice number, and 'b' is the partition letter.
By convention some of the letters used for denoting partitions have special meanings on some systems. 'a' on the boot disk => /, 'b' => swap, 'c' => the entire slice, e.g. ad2s1c is equal to ad2s1 and all partitions within slice 1's label, in meaning that is.
You can find more details in the FreeBSD handbook and manual pages for bsdlabel. FreeBSD is also fairly consistent in its device naming practices.

Thou shalt check the array bounds of all strings (indeed, all arrays), for surely where thou typest ``foo'' someone someday shall type ``supercalifragilisticexpialidocious''.
feedback please
Now after doing a bit of research and all your fantastic feedback I have decided on the below partitions for my 750 GB hardrive . And few questions still remain but here goes.
/ = 2gb
/usr = 30gb
/var/mail = 20gb
/var = 100gb
/home = remaining . The plan is to host the websites files from the home directory so will need the most space as log of images file etc.
1] /usr = 30gb is it better to give /usr/local =20gb and /usr = 30 gb or just have /usr = 30 gb
2] would it be better to create another directory say /www for the sites I will be hosting ? was thinking of putting them in /home as a subdirectory. There is just going to be one user.
3] /var/mail = 20gb is that enough for a moderately busy website. what would be the size of /var/mail of a typical mailserver.
Anything else you think I should be doing would be most grateful for your help
thank you.
List of links I felt were useful.

A small group of well-educated professionals enjoys rising wages, while most workers toil in low-wage jobs with few chances to advance.
PHOENIX — It's hard to miss the dogged technological ambition pervading this sprawling desert metropolis.
There's Intel's $7 billion, seven-nanometer chip plant going up in Chandler. In Scottsdale, Axon, the maker of the Taser, is hungrily snatching talent from Silicon Valley as it embraces automation to keep up with growing demand. Start-ups in fields as varied as autonomous drones and blockchain are flocking to the area, drawn in large part by light regulation and tax incentives. Arizona State University is furiously churning out engineers.
And yet for all its success in drawing and nurturing firms on the technological frontier, Phoenix cannot escape the uncomfortable pattern taking shape across the American economy: Despite all its shiny new high-tech businesses, the vast majority of new jobs are in workaday service industries, like health care, hospitality, retail and building services, where pay is mediocre.

With Mini's product line set to expand faster than a midwesterner's waistline via the Tropicana buffet's bacon station, the UK's AutoExpress offers shots of the next addition lightly disguises. It's the Clubman-bodied Mini Monte, the BMW company's new SUV-like entry. We'll know it by its higher ground clearance and widened track, they say, along with a few grand's worth of a premium over the Clubman's sticker. It'll also sport BMW's Efficient Dynamics gear, including stop-start and power-saving components, like a system of larger battery and alternator that can disengage from the engine during acceleration. Expect to see one parked next to a jogging path near you by 2009. [AutoExpress]

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Three more employees of the truck stop chain owned by the Cleveland Browns' owner and Tennessee's governor have pleaded guilty in what authorities call a scheme to cheat trucking firms out of rebates.
Regional sales manager Kevin Clark pleaded guilty to mail fraud in federal court in Knoxville on Tuesday.
Knoxville media report that Holly Radford, an account manager, and salesman Jay Stinnett entered similar pleas later in the day.
Prosecutors allege that the sales team of Pilot Flying J, the country's largest diesel retailer, short-changed trucking companies to boost profits and commissions.
Pilot is run by Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, the brother of Gov. Bill Haslam. Jimmy Haslam has denied any personal wrongdoing.
Two other Pilot employees pleaded guilty last month.

Wynne comes under fire as Hudak no-shows northern debate
Published Monday, May 26, 2014 4:46PM EDT
THUNDER BAY, Ont. -- Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne got her first taste Monday of what she'll be facing in the all-important June 3 leaders' debate -- and next time, it'll be double trouble for the Liberal leader.
With Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak absent, NDP Leader Andrea Horwath went for the jugular in the northern Ontario debate, calling the Liberals corrupt and saying voters are fed up with their lies.
"You deserve a hard-working, honest government and that starts by cleaning up the corruption at Queen's Park," Horwath said in her opening statement, hammering the Liberals again and again in almost every response to questions.
Wynne played a role in the decisions to cancel two unpopular gas plants -- at a cost of up to $1.1 billion -- prior to the last election just to save Liberal seats in the Toronto suburbs, and in their attempts to cover up the scandal, she said.
"The day that the OPP showed up and took those hard drives out of (the premier's office in) Queen's Park was the day that I heard the people of Ontario say that they had had enough," Horwath said, referring to the provincial police investigation into the destruction of gas plants documents.
"They had had enough of the Liberal betrayals, enough of their lies, enough of the wasted billions and billions of dollars for their own gain."
Horwath said Wynne can't blame the gas plants and the attempted cover up on the previous Dalton McGuinty administration.
"Ms. Wynne was at the centre of it," she said. "She was a senior cabinet minister. She was a campaign co-chair. She endorsed it all."
Horwath knows the allegations against her are "just not true," but makes them anyway, Wynne said after the debate.
"It's quite a statement, and it's a bit sad that the NDP leader falls back on that when we were here to listen to questions from northern leaders," said Wynne. "Andrea Horwath knows that those allegations are not true."
Wynne said she'd changed the process to allow more community involvement in the location of new gas plants and other energy projects, and broadened the scope of legislative committee hearings into the scandal and alleged coverup.
But Horwath repeated her accusations after the debate ended.
"I think what's sad is that after 40 minutes, Ms. Wynne didn't talk about how there was going to be any expectation of change from the way the Liberals behaved," she told reporters.
"What Ontarians need to think about when they go to the polls is who can they trust to actually keep their best interest at heart, to respect their money and to invest their money in their priorities."
There were no direct exchanges between Horwath and Wynne in the lacklustre debate because the format had them responding to questions from selected northern Ontario leaders, but not engaging with each other.
Both leaders promised they'd help develop the mineral-rich Ring of Fire deposit and take action on soaring electricity rates under questioning that covered a wide range of topics, from the province's $12.5-billion deficit to the employment skills gap to what they would do to provide more social supports, which are most costly in the north.
Wynne tried to maintain a positive tone in the debate in spite of Horwath's pointed attacks, saying she was convinced the hard-hit region would once again become an economic driver of Ontario's economy.
Only the Liberals will spend money to train young people for better jobs while the Progressive Conservatives and NDP are looking for savings, she added.
"Tim Hudak and Andrea Horwath talk about cutting waste ... but the fact is that we absolutely must make investments in the future of this province, and the most important resource that we have is our young people," she said.
"Our plan is the diametric opposite of what Tim Hudak is proposing. He's going to start to grow the economy and consolidate the recovery by cutting the knees out from under the economy, taking paycheques away from 100,000 people."
The Liberals will have to ratchet down government spending to eliminate the deficit as promised in 2017-18, but Wynne wouldn't say whether that would require layoffs.
"But there isn't a yes or no answer," she said. "The reality is, it's more complex than that. The fact is that we have to make the decisions that are in the best interests of the economy and the best interests of the province and in the best interest of the delivery of health care and education to the people of Ontario. "
Wynne will likely face the same offensive from Hudak in the June 3 leaders' debate in Toronto, which is expected to be a watershed in the June 12 election campaign that may decide its outcome.
But Horwath didn't hold her fire at Hudak, saying his failure to show up at the Thunder Bay debate showed his true feelings about northerners.
Hudak, who was campaigning in Peterborough and the Greater Toronto Area, said his schedule wouldn't allow him to attend. But northern residents won't take his absence as a snub, he said.
Thunder Bay resident Erin Bellavance said it doesn't matter anyway that Hudak didn't take part in the debate, which was mostly attended by party supporters there to cheer on their leader.
"I don't think he'd stand a chance getting elected anywhere here in Thunder Bay," she said. "So I don't know. ... Very few people care what he has to say."

After The Sell-Off, Morgan Stanley's Top Ten LatAm Conviction Picks Are…
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
MSCI Latin American has fallen over 30% over the last two years, underperforming MSCI Emerging Markets by 21%.
There must be true gems among recent broad-based emerging markets sell-offs. In a report published today, Morgan Stanley highlights ten stocks that they believe, with "strong conviction", will be "trading significantly above the current levels in 12-18 months." With at least $2 billion market cap, these stocks have ample liquidity. Most of them also have identifiable catalysts that could push the share prices higher in the next year.
Without further delay, these ten stocks are: AmBev (BUD), Banco Santander Brasil (BSBR), BR Properties, CCR, Cyrela, Embraer (ERJ), Endesa Chile, Entel Chile, and Falabella OdontoPrev. I will discuss the stocks that have ADRs in the US.
On AmBev:
ABEV's current ADR price is 10% above our bear case valuation of $6.2, and has 16% upside to our target price of $8.0.
We believe that earnings can reaccelerate this year, thanks to recovery in volume growth and moderated cost pressures. We think the reason for beer volumes' weakness in 2013 was excess pricing and high food inflation, not a change in consumers' views toward beer.
ABEV is trading at 19-20x our 2014 earnings estimate, the lowest level in the last 18-24 months, and only 0.5 standard deviation above its historical average.
On Banco Santander Brasil:
We see 91% upside to our base case and 162% to the bull case, while only 18% downside to our bear scenario. The 8:1 Bull/Bear skew is the most attractive within our Latam banks coverage universe.
Trading at 0.7x P/BV, we think the market assumes earnings and ROE will be flattish over the next couple of years.
Underowned and unloved; won't take much to positively surprise, in our view. After three years of negative EPS growth and significant stock underperformance, market participants have relatively low expectations for Santander Brasil.
On Embraer:
BRL depreciation and scale gains can sustain margins. Concerns on ERJ margins given the likely lower prices of recent large US orders should be offset by the currently favorable BRL and the gains of scale the large orders bring. As EJets are locally manufactured, roughly 25% of production costs are in local currency. Adding gains of scale as commercial deliveries gradually increase, fears of zero EBIT margin are overdone.
ERJ currently trades 5% above our bear case of US$32.00.

Chris Brown checks back into anger rehab
Good to see Chris Brown took care of that anger management problem.
A judge Wednesday sentenced Brown to 90 days in a rehab facility, after the R&B singer was tossed out of voluntary rehab in Malibu because he threw a rock through his mother's car window, according to TMZ.
In case you need catching up, Brown was on probation for assaulting Rihanna in 2009. Earlier this year, a judge decided Brown didn't actually complete the community service hours required as part of a plea deal. So he received more hours and was still on probation. A few weeks back, he fought a man outside a New York club and - facing a possible jail sentence for violating probation - checked himself into a rehab for anger issues.
Which lasted all of 13 days. Apparently Brown and his mother got into a disagreement about how much time he should spend in treatment, and, apparently to demonstrate his mother was wrong in saying he needed more treatment, he chucked a rock through her car window.
Irony can be so ironic.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, Brown will have to spend 90 days in a court-approved, live-in anger management facility and submit to drug testing. No word on when he has to report, or if he has to pay for his mom's car window.

(NewsUSA) - You may not be able to spell or even pronounce the word "acetaminophen," but almost 50 million Americans use it each week to manage pain and fever.
Acetaminophen is the most common drug ingredient in America, found in more than 600 different prescription (Rx) and over-the-counter (OTC) medicines. While it is safe and effective when used as directed, there is a limit to how much can be taken in one day: 4,000 mg for most adults. Taking more acetaminophen than directed is an overdose and can lead to liver damage.
According to the Acetaminophen Awareness Coalition, sometimes people may unintentionally exceed the 4,000 mg daily dose because they don't realize that several medicines they take -- such as pain medications and fever reducers, cough/cold and allergy medicines, and even some sleep aids -- may all contain acetaminophen.
In its report, "Acetaminophen: How It's Used, Preventing Overdose and What We Can Do to Promote Safe Use," the Coalition points out three common acetaminophen dosing mistakes:
* Taking the next dose too soon.
* Using multiple acetaminophen-containing medicines at the same time.
* Taking more than the recommended dose at a single time.
"Educating patients is a key step to promoting safe acetaminophen use and preventing overdose," said nurse practitioner Anne Norman of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, a founding organization of the AAC. "I always tell consumers to be diligent about reading their medicine labels, to know the ingredients in their medicines and to carefully follow dosing directions when taking all medicines."
So whether or not you can spell it or say it, when taking a medicine that may contain acetaminophen, the Acetaminophen Awareness Coalition encourages you to follow these four steps to use it safely:
1. Always read and follow the medicine label.
2. Know if your medicines contain acetaminophen.
3. Never take two medicines that contain acetaminophen at the same time.
4. Ask your pharmacist or other healthcare professional if you have questions.

SuPaw asked the Networking forum how best to sync multiple email accounts, plus contacts and a calendar, so that it's all accessible on both a Windows PC and an iPad.
A lot of this depends on what email service and/or local email client software, and what calendar program, you're using. I'm going to concentrate here on Gmail, because many people use it, you can easily channel multiple email accounts through it, and, since it's cloud-based, syncing comes naturally (well, sometimes).
I'm also assuming here that you're using Google Calendar.
First, the multiple accounts: Once you've set up a Gmail account and are viewing your inbox in a browser, click the tools icon near the upper-right corner and select Settings. On the Settings page, click the Accounts and Import tab.
To receive mail from another account, scroll down a bit and click Add a POP3 mail account you own. You'll need to know the POP and SMTP addresses for the account, as well as the email address and password.
If you want to send mail from that address, scroll up a bit to the "Send mail as" section, and click Add another address you own." Follow the prompts.
Okay. Let's get to the iPad problem:
The obvious solution is to tap Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add Account>Gmail. This will sync your email and calendar, but not your contacts. That's far from a perfect solution.
So here's the workaround:
Tap Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendars> Add Account. But instead of Gmail, tap Microsoft Exchange.
On the first page of the Exchange wizard, enter your full Gmail address (firstname.lastname@example.com) in both the Email and Username fields. Leave the Domain field blank, but enter your password. Then tap Next.
In the next page's Server field, enter m.google.com. Tap Next.
The rest of the wizard should be easy to figure out. At one point you'll be asked what services you want to sync. If you've already synced mail and your calendar the obvious way, you need only sync contacts here.
My thanks to smax013 for pointing me in the right direction in the original forum discussion.

More than 500 hedge fund managers currently each manage $1 billion or more in assets, according to the alternative-assets research firm Preqin.
These firms represent about 90% of total industry assets, comprising a significant proportion of all capital managed by hedge funds.
Recent positive performance and investor inflows have fattened hedge fund coffers to approximately $2.7 trillion. Volume is also increasing: more than 4,600 fund managers now manage upward of 10,500 funds, up from 4,150 managers running some 10,000 funds in May 2013.
In a new report, Preqin examines what it takes to stride the towering heights of the industry and be a member of the "$1 Billion Club."
Track Record
Preqin research found that the largest hedge fund managers typically have the longest track records, demonstrating that they could perform consistently through many market cycles and surpass various competitors.
The study noted that the median establishment date of managers with more than $20 billion under management was 1991, making them brand names.
The mean establishment year for managers with $1 billion to $4.9 billion in assets was 1997.
Some 54% of fund managers with more than $1 billion in assets have been established since 2000, with the newest ones founded in 2012. No fund managers that launched in 2013 are known to have reached the $1 billion mark.
Besides long track record, strategy choices emerge as another pattern in the $1 Billion Club. Forty-two percent of all funds managed by club members use long/short, the predominant strategy.
Whereas 46% of managers in the $1 billion to $4.9 billion range employ long/short, only 32% of those with more than $20 billion in assets do so.
Long/short funds can have capacity constraints because of limited investment opportunities restricted by geography or section in which the manager invests. The same is true for niche strategies, which explains why only 3% of funds belonging to managers with more than $20 billion use them, Preqin said.
Beyond long/short, the largest managers also use multi-strategy and macro strategies. Forty-one percent of the $20 billion plus managers use at least one of these for their funds, most likely, Preqin said, because they offer a wide range of opportunities in a variety of geographies and sectors, meaning they have a larger capacity.
The multi-strategy approach is less prominent among smaller managers compared with strategies such as long/short equity; just 8% of funds managed by firms with $1 billion to $4.9 billion in assets use a multi-strategy approach.
Specialize or Diversify?
Midsize managers face a dilemma. They can offer a diverse range of strategies in order to appeal to a wide group of investors, but take on the burden of staffing up with more portfolio management experts and specialized sales staff across the various strategies. Or they can specialize in a small number of strategies, aiming to be among the best in the market.
According to Preqin data, the very biggest managers are choosing between the two, with fewer opting for a middle approach.
Of all those with more than $20 billion in assets, 29% offer a single strategy through their funds, while 38% offer six or more. Only 8% provide exposure to four or five strategies.
Managers with $1 billion to $4.9 billion are more consistent, with more than half offering a single strategy.
Very few funds outside the $20 billion-plus category offer 10 or more strategies.
$1 Billion Club Headquarters in New York
New York has the largest proportion of fund managers with more than $1 billion in assets, according to Preqin, with 174 managers managing aggregate assets of $938 billion.
London is the main $1 billion hub outside the U.S., with 80 fund managers managing a total of $346 billion in assets. Sao Paulo is the biggest South American hub, with large managers such as Credit Suisse Hedging-Griffo and BTG Pactual primarily employing macro strategies. Countries such as Australia, Germany, Ireland and Japan also have at least one manager with at least $1 billion in assets.
Top 10 Fund Managers
According to Preqin, these are the top 10 hedge fund managers, their location and their assets under management:
- Bridgewater Associates, U.S., $157.2 billion
- AQR Capital Management, U.S., $53.3 billion
- Och-Ziff Capital Management, U.S. $43.5 billion
- Brevan Howard Capital Management, Jersey, $40 billion
- BlueCrest Capital, U.K. $35.8 billion
- Standard Life Investments, U.K, $33.1 billion
- D.E. Shaw & Co., U.S., $32 billion
- BlackRock Alternative Investors, U.S., $31.3 billion
- Viking Global Investors, U.S., $28.1 billion
- Man Investments, U.K., $26.7 billion.

Farrell was officially named manager on Sunday. Then, Bogar was fired and Torey Lovullo was hired as our new bench coach.
In terms of moves, nothing big has happened yet, obviously. Mike Aviles was traded to Toronto for Farrell, so we are in shortstop limbo yet again. Ben met with Shohei Otani, an eighteen-year-old Japanese phenom who, if acquired, will hopefully pan out exponentially better than Dice-K did. And last but not least, the brass is negotiating a deal with Ross and with Papi. The deal with Papi is probably going to be a long one, one that would most likely allow him to retire with us if he chooses to do so at that point.
In other news, the Pats beat the Jets in yet another close one, 29-26.

Montreal Canadiens' interim head coach Randy Cunneyworth doesn't speak any French. This is apparently such a problem among fans that the team's GM had to address the issue with the sort of groveling, mealy-mouthed statement you give when your coach blows a .48 on his Breathalyzer.
"We're disappointed and we're sorry if we offended anybody by hiring someone who is not bilingual right now, but when you're in the middle of a season and you're trying to effect change and you're having the difficulties we were having, you evaluate all your options," said [Canadiens' GM Pierre] Gauthier.
"We felt the best option at this time was to work from within the organization. Those things can be taken care of in due time, but having a bilingual head coach of the Montreal Canadiens is very important and it's something that will be part of our decision going forward."
That's the Québécois version of an ultimatum. Cunneyworth, for his part, is vowing to learn the language, and good for him. Since we're nothing if not helpful, let's start him off with a simple idiom: "Je suis foutu."

New leader settles in at Homestake Peak School
EAGLE-VAIL, Colorado – Bobby Young moved to Eagle-Vail to enjoy the outdoors, and he's taking his classrooms with him.
Young is the new Homestake Peak School principal and comes to the Eagle-Vail school with a long history in expeditionary learning. He's a big fan of feet instead of seats as a teaching style.
Young spent four years as an outdoor educator at North Carolina Outward Bound School in Asheville, and the move to Homestake Peak seemed like a natural one.
In fact, he moved from North Carolina to Colorado in 2003 to Fort Collins to be part of a startup expeditionary-learning school in Fort Collins.
"School can feel like a lot of seat time; it can feel like punching a time clock," Young said.
Expeditionary learning leans more toward field work and activity, and Young said he prefers students be more active and engaged with their environment and local community.
Before landing in Eagle-Vail, Young was assistant principal at Lincoln IB World Middle School, where he ran the International Baccalaureate Program, supervising staff, special education and English language acquisition and coordinating international service trips to Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
Young also led Lincoln's school accountability subcommittee for discipline and safety and was a liaison for student teachers from Colorado State University.
Homestake Peak is in the former Battle Mountain High School building in Eagle-Vail. The idea that kindergartners would be in the same school as eighth-graders was unsettling for some parents, but the renovation separates grade levels so kids are in school with others their own age.
"The school district did a great job renovating the building," Young said.
Homestake Peak combined Meadow Mountain Elementary School and Minturn Middle School, both expeditionary-learning schools.
The teachers and staff had already embraced the concept and curriculum, Young said.
"Homestake Peak is a good-to-great school, and it was running pretty smoothly when I arrived," Young said.
The parents and Eagle-Vail community have been supportive, Young said. Homestake Peak parents fired up the barbecue and threw a welcome-the-new-principal party.
Young will be returning the favor.
"I'll be hosting principal coffees each Wednesday morning from 8 to 8:30 a.m. in the conference room. Over coffee and conversation, I'll seek advice and feedback on all aspects of HPS," Young said.
Homestake is hosting its annual Back to School Night from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday.
Young and his wife, Katie, have three children who he said are all settling in well and looking forward to the snow and getting on skis.
Young was born and raised in Wisconsin and said hunting and fishing were a means of both recreation and sustenance. He was introduced to canoeing, backpacking and rock climbing at a young age, he said.
In North Carolina, Young designed and implemented Outward Bound's staff training, created and delivered youth-leadership courses, guided at-risk youth through personal growth and conflict resolution and instructed canoe expeditions and rock-climbing programs.
Young is a wilderness first responder and Leave No Trace Master Outdoor Skills Educator.
In Fort Collins, Young served as Lincoln's curriculum coordinator, humanities teacher, outdoor educator and social studies teacher.
Young earned his Master of Educational Leadership degree in principal licensure from Colorado State University, a Master of Arts degree in English as a second language from the University of Northern Colorado and a Bachelor of Science degree in broad field social studies education (double majoring in geography and education and triple minoring in Spanish, psychology and anthropology) from the University of Wisconsin.
"We are thrilled that Mr. Young has accepted the position of Principal of Homestake Peak School," said Sandra Smyser, superintendent of Eagle County Schools. "From his wide range of academic experience to his expeditionary-learning outward bound mentality, Bobby brings an impressive background and the skill set necessary to continue to move this school and our district in the right direction."

Grizzly bears once roamed over most of North America west of the Mississippi. Within the last century grizzlies were reduced to a few remnant populations scattered through the Northern Rockies and Cascades. Two of the six remaining areas are in northwest Montana. The largest area straddles the continental divide from Canada south to near Missoula. Another area is near Libby in the Cabinet/Yaak. Scientists estimate 500-600 grizzlies currently live in northwest Montana. In 1975 grizzlies were listed as "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act.
Why do so few grizzlies now roam the lower 48 states? Mainly because people have moved into bear habitat. Population recovery is slow because grizzlies have a low reproductive rate. Recently, many bear deaths have resulted from people inadvertently attracting bears into areas where people live.

As a professional adventurer, I constantly search far and wide for new challenges and new spots to explore. My happiness, my inspiration… essentially everything that fulfills me comes from nature. But looking at how I access these adventures, it's clear: I am killing the world as it stimulates me.
Not only was I well beyond the sustainable level, there was more that the test could not calculate. The heli-guiding, the snowmobile I used for access – these were not added to the thousands of kilometers driven in my F-350, or the multiple intercontinental flights. The truth was obvious: I needed to change my ways.
Immediately I decided to try something suggested by my brother Graham at his TED talk. I became a weekday vegetarian and got my family to join me. (It is amazing to think how much of an impact the global meat industry has!) A simple but very effective change. But for me, with my globe-trotting adventures, I really needed to look into my travel.
So I quit heli-ski guiding, sold my giant diesel truck, let my snowmobile rust and looked at different ways to get to the trailhead.
We are constantly reading about electric vehicles being the future – but I was skeptical. EVs have historically had a limited range – which makes them ideal commuter vehicles for urbanites – but useless for someone where I live.
Revelstoke is a small mountain town, deep in the Canadian mountains, 250–400km from major cities. With cold winters and deep snow there are many very valid reasons to be scared of converting to electric. The sacrifices I needed to make seem daunting – but perhaps they are not as big as they seem.
So we had to test it out. My friend Chris Rubens and I went on an electric adventure. Our goal: live our normal adventurous lifestyle while being more sustainable getting from spot to spot.
Chris and Greg on their electric volcano adventure.
I rented a Nissan Leaf from Ecomoto in Vancouver – a commuter vehicle with 100 miles of range. Far from ideal – but if we could drive down the West coast of the USA, climb and ski a bunch of volcanoes and make it back, we could prove to ourselves that electric access is the future.
So first, we met up and climbed and skied Mt Baker, then began our true road trip down south. An app called "Plug and Share" would guide us to all the level 3 chargers, which take around 40 minutes to fully charge the car. This trip was admittedly ideal, since the I-5 corridor that goes south down to Washington, Oregon and into California is littered with these chargers.
It's not to say we didn't face challenges. The trailhead for Mt Rainier is quite far inland and well away from any Level 3 chargers. But our app showed us a Level 2 charger that someone had set up at their house for their Tesla. We arrived at the park boundary and started charging at Phil's personal plug. The percentage slowly moved upwards. We had to hastily leave with barely 70% as the park's gates were closing. Committed, we drove upwards. As we climbed up to the trailhead our % dropped and dropped. 40%...35% and then finally at 31% we made it. We parked and decided to deal with it when we returned.
Greg charging down a sun-baked volcano.
A great couple of days had us on the 14,400-foot summit and then skiing down a heavily crevassed, but super awesome run. Arriving back at the car we wondered if our first mistake was going to haunt us. Luckily the Leaf has a 'B" mode which allows the car to slow itself using the engine, putting electricity back into the motor. So as we drove down 5500 feet we brought our charge back up to 50%. A few hours at Phil's charger and we were off. Yeehaw! Maybe this is going to work!
Mt Hood was our next objective – and there were Level 3 chargers right up to the trailhead. A great summit and silly ski had us driving south. Eventually the ease of charging had us pushing the battery percentage as low as we could go, extending each drive till the % disappeared and the 'KMs left' blinked out. We realized there was always extra battery left, and we pushed it many times. Never fully running out of gas – or rather, juice.
Charging, charging... to make it to yet another mountain.
We made it as far south as Mt Shasta in California, where there were less Level 3 chargers and we ended up charging up at RV campgrounds – Level 2 chargers that would take 3-5 hours to fully charge. A couple oddball Canadians, camped amongst the behemoth RVs.
While we drove back north, hitting Mt Adams on the way we pondered our experiment. We ended up traveling almost 5000km, climbed and skied six volcanoes, went rock-climbing five times, had amazing adventures and camped in great places. Essentially: our normal lives, with one major difference. We used one liter of gas during the whole trip: for our cookstove.
Not being able to move quickly between objectives made us more relaxed. Forced stops every few hours had us re-thinking our Type A personalities. To me electric vehicles are the future, especially since climate change would affect our jobs so badly.
My lesson has been learned. Since returning from this trip I have bought an electric Chevrolet Bolt and have fully jumped into the electric vehicle movement. I have dreams of summiting 100 mountains and creating minimal emissions while doing so. It's a challenge I am calling 'electric adventures.' I am 14 summits in, and I have run to some, climbed up others, and skied off those volcanoes. It is a great start and it feels so amazing to be part of the solution to our climate crisis. I will never be perfect – but I can search out ways to be better.

The average cost of shipping coal by railroad to power plants increased almost 50% from 2001 to 2010, with rail transport accounting for more than 70% of U.S. coal destined to the electric power sector, said a new report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Though they vary significantly, transportation costs accounted for 40% of the average overall cost of coal delivered at electric power plants in 2010. On average, nominal U.S. rail rates for shipping coal grew from $11.83 to $17.25 per short ton from 2001 to 2010, EIA noted. Rates grew slowly in the beginning of the decade before increasing almost 11% in 2005, then continued to grow at a relatively robust pace until the recession. The impact of the recession on transportation rates was short-lived as rates grew more than 9% in 2010.
"National numbers can be misleading, however, as regional dynamics tend to vary considerably among the six major coal basins," EIA said. "For example, Southern Appalachian coal costs increased more than 10% annually in 2001-10, while Powder River Basin (PRB) rates grew 1.5% over the same period. For a few PRB destination states, rates fell during this period."
The wide range in minemouth coal prices and transportation distances across the U.S. create significant variation in the impact of transportation rates on overall coal costs, with different basins affected to significantly differing degrees, EIA said. While rail transportation costs for Appalachian and Illinois Basin coals as a percent of total delivered cost fall in the low 20% range, the relatively low cost of PRB coal, and the long distances it travels, results in transportation costs that averaged almost 60% of the total delivered cost in 2010—more than the cost of the coal itself.
State-level data show further variation in rate changes over 2001-2010. At the high and low ends, Virginia-to-Tennessee rates grew 83% while Wyoming-to-Kansas rates fell 23%—a 106 percentage point swing.
In this latest release of Coal Transportation Rates to the Electric Power Sector, EIA has significantly expanded upon prior versions of this report with the incorporation of new EIA survey data. Previously, EIA relied solely on data from the U.S. Surface Transportation Board (STB), specifically the confidential Carload Waybill Sample. much of that information had to be withheld for confidentiality reasons. With this current release, EIA augments STB data with EIA's Power Plant Operations Report (EIA-923) data. Unlike the Waybill sample, EIA-923 survey data are intended to be a full population data set, EIA said. Utilizing the EIA-923 Survey's much larger data coverage enables EIA to publish data over numerous routes that were previously withheld, especially for state-to-state rates.
Another feature of this latest release is the incorporation for the first time of coal transport rates by barge and truck. As a relatively new survey field however, barge and truck data currently comprise a limited time series. Further analysis will be conducted as more data are collected. However, three years (2008-2010) are included in this initial release, EIA noted.
This report covers railroad transportation rates from 2001-2010 and barge and truck rates from 2008-2010. STB data covers 2001-2009 and the newly-incorporated EIA data covers the period of 2008-2010. For future releases, using EIA survey data rather than solely relying on the STB Waybill will enable EIA to significantly improve the timeliness of this report, releasing data within several months of collection.
