To the Editor:
I appreciate the recent letters by NCTs' (Rick) Hemming (2/11), citizen Rose (2/13), and Dr. Kinder (2/14) in support of their good friend, associate, and advocate (Moffat County) Commissioner (Marianna) Raftopoulos.
Hemming, Kinder and Rose have potential conflicts of interest because they indirectly receive county money in the course of business. Sadly, none of their letters can help taxpayers understand the (alleged) illegal borrowing that funded the NCT contract.
Historically, taxpayers were misled by official press releases into believing the county purchased "tangible" fiber optic lines and underground conduits from NCT. False. The contract provides unspecified services like "prepaid phone card" on a million dollar scale without periodic taxpayer review or deliberation.
The BOCC has the power under Colorado Revised Statute (CRS) 30-11-104 to Lease-Purchase a jail using Certificates of Participation (COP). A COP is the Lease-Purchase agreement. The law says land, buildings, or equipment may be Lease-Purchased, nothing more.
The Uniform Commercial Code CRS 4-9-102 controls security/collateral on loans. Subsection 42 describes qualifying items but it does not permit a prepaid phone card or anything resembling a non-transferable communication services contract such as the NCT prepaid account. On the contrary, the statute prohibits using "... accounts" as loan security.
The BOCC is obligated to correct the (alleged) illegal funding scheme and make a $1.2 million transfer back to the PSC/Jail accounts for the crushing debt service of legitimate "brick and mortar" capital improvements. Other issues exist.
I urge everyone to review the official statutes on the 'Net at http://www.michie.com/colorado.html

I needed to send emails in a product written in C++, so I searched the Internet and found a great article: SMTP Client written by Jakub Piwowarczyk. However, many of my clients use SMTP servers that require secure connection (TLS or SSL), and the SMTP Client does not support it. So I had to add SSL/TLS support to the CSmtp class from SMTP Client before I could use it in my product. As I was new to SSL/OpenSSL, it did take me quite some time to learn how to use it properly, and to make the code work with several popular SMTP servers. I have also seen people searching the internet looking for a C++ implementation of SMTP/SSL/TLS, but just could not find one. So I decided to share the one I wrote, in the hope that it will save people who are not familiar with SSL some time.
Note that this article does not cover the details of SMTP. Please go to the original article SMTP Client if you need to know more about SMTP.
There are 2 kinds of secure connections for SMTP, one is SSL and the other is TLS. Some SMTP servers support only one kind and some support both. Generally speaking, the port for SSL is 465, and the port for TLS is 587, but this is not always the case. In addition to the ports being different, SMTP/SSL is different than SMTP/TLS in that, SMTP/SSL negotiates an encrypted connection directly after the underlying TCP connection has been established, while SMTP/TLS requires that the client send a STARTLS command to the server before they negotiate an encrypted connection.
The steps involved in SMTP/SSL are as follows:
The steps involved in SMTP/TLS are as follows:
I have used openssl (http://www.openssl.org) in the sample code. The directory "openssl-0.9.8l" in the sample code contains all the necessary header files and the two pre-built static openssl libraries. If you would also like to use this version of openssl in your code, be sure to copy the entire "openssl-0.9.8l" directory to the root directory of your project and add "openssl-0.9.8l\inc32" to "Additional Include Directories", and also add "openssl-0.9.8l\out32" to "Additional Library Directories".
static openssl
If you would like to build your own openssl, please refer to http://www.openssl.org for detailed instructions.

Thanks to everyone for the effective crowdsourcing! Please keep up the improvements to our library! Removed Bcc from the header as contributed by o15s19 Added fix contributed by uni_gauldoth with attaching files with a reserved character in their filename Improved the method for checking the size of file attachments as contributed by GKarRacer Added #include <unistd.h> for linux compiles as contributed by jim fred
#include <unistd.h>
Added fix contributed GKarRacer for the improper checking of the MsgBody.size() before working with a line of the message body. Moved memory allocation and checking if all attachments can be opened to before the MAIL command is issued so that if there is an issue with one of them, sending the email can be gracefully aborted without the email being sent without the attachments. Changed all the sprintf commands to snprintf to add greater security. #define'd snprintf to sprintf_s for MS Visual C. Also changed most strcpy calls to snprintf since the MS Visual C version of that function strcpy_s has the arguments re-ordered so it wouldn't be possible to use it without affecting portability. Added fix contributed by jcyangzh about a possible infinite loop in the SayQuit function. Added fixes contributed by sbrytskyy required to make the AUTH PLAIN login work properly.

Sisi Edmiston is the Michelangelo of cake bakers, an interior designer who has turned her hand to works of art decorated with glazed dried fruits and nuts, encrusting them like so many jewels. Not only are they expensive, they're as hard to come by as truffles. Until very recently you had to turn up at food fairs, where Sisi would arrive with a car boot full of them. Or they would surface in upmarket food stores at even more prohibitive prices (we're talking pounds 65 each this time). Now, happily, the world can beat a path to Sisi Edmiston's door, for her cakes have found a place in Henrietta Green's new Food Lovers' Guide to Britain (BBC, pounds 9.99).
Ms Green sums up the cakes' appeal as follows: "They are so meticulously decorated you could almost mistake them for a dried nut arrangement," she says, "made to a family recipe that uses butter, rice flour, molasses and masses of dried Australian sultanas, California raisins and Greek currants, which she first soaks in vintage cognac, sherry, apricot brandy and fresh lime juice for at least seven days to plump up, then adds nuts and even more dried fruit such as apricots, dates, peaches, grated pine- apple and grated carrots to give it colour."
A little glycerine is added to keep the cakes moist, and vanilla and almond essence for extra flavour - and a little flour to bind the mixture together. A little flour is the understatement of all time. There's just one ounce of flour to every 2lb of dried fruit.
I went to see Mrs Edmiston at her west London flat, which is also her factory. Cakes are wrapped and stacked in the living room in green plastic supermarket trays. Amazingly, they have all been cooked in a regular domestic oven.
In August she sends her four children on music, ranch and drama holidays and bakes around the clock, assisted by her housekeeper, Mrs Waller from Wandsworth, and telephone alarm calls every three-and-a-half hours to signal the beginning and end of each batch of nine.
Sisi (her first name is actually Veronica) is better known in London as a rather superior interior designer. Cakes were a late career move, but are not luxury cakes an edible manifestation of the interior designer's art? She says she got the idea from Colin Street Bakery, a Texas mail- order firm for the world's better-off consumers that sends out their pecan- studded fruit cakes as gifts at Christmas. "Their brochure," Sisi says, "shows a photograph of seven very frightened men in suits saying please buy this cake or we'll be out of a job. It's presented as a quaint old Victorian bakery, but it's actually a multi-million pound business."
Colin Street Bakery may have given her the idea of attacking the luxury market, but the cake itself was entirely her own invention. Indeed, its conception was an accident.With her marriage over, she says, she found herself rejected by a new man in her life. In a furious rage she plundered his precious wine cellar and, discovering such treasures as pounds 30 bottles of vintage Hine, poured them into her Christmas cake mixture. In due course, she distributed 10 of her cakes to her children's godparents, to family and to friends. Some wrote to her and said they'd be willing to pay anything for another cake like that. Anything? The idea of Sisi's Christmas cake was born.
In a world where most commercial companies are looking to save on costs and keep prices down, someone who is guided by no such considerations will either go under or soar away from the rest. She has done the latter. I joined her in her home and watched her for an hour as she decorated a dozen cakes. Polythene sheeting covered the carpet, for this is sticky work.
She spreads by hand a base of apricot jam on to each cake, then studs it with clusters of glace fruit or nuts. The fruits glow like stained glass: boxes of red Italian glace cherries for sweetness and crunch; purple French cherries for colour and acidity; dried apricots to impart an orange glow. Large crystallised melon peel, called pepno, has a subtle lime-green hue. She also uses dull brown dried figs, which she butterflies open to reveal their speckled caviar of seeds.
It's not only the cakes' appearance that is stunning. So is their quality. Sisi knows her fruit. She comes from a Garden of Eden, she says, in the valleys of north-east Transvaal, South Africa. "My papa is the Banana King (though mama is a brain surgeon). There every valley has a different crop of fruit. It used to be citrus, but now it's pecans, mangoes, avocados, bananas."
As it's impractical to make a return visit to papa, she goes to local wholefood shops to buy her dried fruit. No one sells better, she says. "Health food shops all seem to be managed by religious groups, so you get these signs saying 'Jesus Lives'. Inside these great warehouses they are playing religious muic." But they know their fruit and nuts, and as well as being religious, ethical and organic, their stuff tastes better than anyone else's. (Community Foods at Brent Cross (0181-450 9411, north London, is a favourite supplier of hers.)
Her cakes are not to be iced, of course, but the finish is breathtaking. She applies a dense glaze made by heating and straining equal parts of damson, apricot and plum jam. For sale, she wraps them, like a bouquet, in cellophane.
For advice on availability of her cakes (but it may be a bit late in the day) phone Sisi Edmiston on 0171-229 6722, fax 0171-792 8092.
There is still time to make a fruit cake for Christmas, though not one with such a high density of fruit as Sisi's. It needs a few weeks to settle or else it will just be a sticky slab. And alcohol really does need several months to do its magic, otherwise it will be simply raw.
So here is a recipe for a Christmas cake that will do the trick. It's from Leith's Book of Cakes by Fiona Burrell (Bloomsbury, pounds 16 99). You may wish to decorate it with marzipan and icing in the usual way; or you could decorate in the style of Sisi Edmiston, embedding clusters of the glace fruits and or nuts in a jam base; then glazing it with a strained mixture of hot jams.
A sure sign that Fiona's Christmas cake recipe is authentic is that it is conceived in imperial measures; metric measures are approximations. Twenty years after decimalisation, cookery writers still have to be if not bilingual, biquantifying, rounding-up and rounding down as they translate from one code to the other. No problem in most recipes, but infuriating in recipes for cakes where imprecise measurements can mean the difference between success and failure.
Fiona's recipe is the one she learnt at school aged 13 (in Denbigh, North Wales) and took home to her amazed family for Christmas. "It was very good, but they had to take a chisel to the icing, it was so hard."
It's a very easy cake to make, but you must follow the instructions carefully. "I told a friend about this, and she rang me up in the middle of making it, saying the mixture had turned into a bowl of liquid. I said, did you really cream the butter and sugar? ('I just beat them together a bit'). Did you add the eggs one at a time? ('I bunged them all in together'). Well then."
There's no raising agent in this cake, so you need the eggs for lightness. Do cream the butter and sugar thoroughly. Do add the beaten eggs gradually and not in one go.
Makes one cake of approx 2.25kg/5lbs
Melted lard or oil for greasing tin
110g/4oz glace cherries
55g/2oz chopped mixed peel
450g/1lb raisins
285g/10oz sultanas
110g/4oz currants
225g/8oz butter
225g/8oz soft light brown sugar
5 eggs, beaten
285g/10oz plain flour, sifted
2 teaspoons ground mixed spice
grated zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons black treacle
200ml/7fl oz beer or sherry
110g/4oz ground almonds
Preheat the oven to 325F/170C/Gas 3. Prepare a 22cm/9in round cake tin or a 20cm/8in square cake tin. Cut up the cherries and mix them with the remaining fruit.
Cream the butter in a large mixing bowl until soft. Add the sugar and beat together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, gradually, beating well after each addition. Add 1 teaspoon of the flour if necessary to prevent the mixture from curdling. Fold in the flour, mixed spice, lemon zest, treacle and beer or sherry, using a large metal spoon. Stir in the ground almonds and the fruit.
Turn the mixture into the prepared tin and make a deep hollow in the centre to counteract any tendency to rise in the middle.
Bake in the centre of the oven for 212 hours or until a sharp knife or skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the tin before turning out.
There's still plenty of time to make a cake that is lighter in style altogether than either Sisi Edmiston's or Fiona Burrell's. This is one that Anton ices, fashioning marzipan into carrot shapes. You can buy the icing and marzipan to mould into cake topping and carrots respectively, or the cake can simply be decorated with a dusting of icing sugar. The glaze is made from sieved apricot jam, boiled with a little water until it falls in slow sticky drops from a spoon.
Makes one 900g/2lb cake
2 lemons
6 eggs, separated
300g/11oz caster sugar
300g/11oz carrots, finely grated
300g/11oz ground almonds
75g/3oz cornflour
a pinch of powdered cinnamon
10g/14oz baking powder
150g/5oz apricot glaze
150g/5oz fondant icing
marzipan carrots
First, preheat your oven to 350F/180C/Gas 4.
Finely zest both the lemons and squeeze the juice from one of them.
Beat the yolks in a large bowl with half the caster sugar, the lemon juice and the lemon zest until they are pale and sticky. Fold in the carrots and almonds carefully.
Sift together cornflour, cinnamon and baking powder, and fold in lightly with a spatula.
Whisk the egg whites until stiff, and fold in the rest of the sugar. Carefully fold this into the carrot mixture.
Place in a prepared 25cm/10in cake tin and bake in the preheated oven for one hour. Test to see that it's cooked by feeling the centre. It should spring back when pressed lightly. Turn out of tin.
When cool, brush apricot glaze over the cake. Allow to set. Cover with icing, and decorate with marzipan carrots. !

Dynamic Revenue Management of a Toll Road Project under Transportation Demand Uncertainty
This study proposes a prototype quantitative method for dynamic revenue management of a private toll road, taking into account the long-term dynamics of transportation demand. This is first formulated as a stochastic singular control problem, in which the manager can choose the toll level from two discrete values. Each toll change requires nonnegative adjustment costs. Our analysis then reveals that the optimality condition reduces to standard linear complementarity problems, by using certain function transformation techniques. This enables us to develop an efficient algorithm for solving the problem, exploiting the recent advances in the theory of complementarity problems.

Eight year after Kanye's sophomore album Late Registration was released, "Gone," featuring Cam'ron & Consequence, has charted on Billboard's Hot 100 at number 18.
How did this happen? We can thank Marina Shifrin, a video producer who dramatically quit her job via a dance video which featured the song. You can check out the video below and see the full story here. The video is now up to 15 million-plus views, seemingly inspiring folks to purchase the song and radio DJs across the country to play it.
"Gone" has never charted before, for it wasn't one of the five singles off Late Registration, but there's no denying its pop appeal. This was Kanye's original Otis before "Otis," as it samples Redding's "It's Too Late."
There's definitly nothing this radio-friendly on Yeezus, but as much as Kanye claims he doesn't care if the public likes him, you can be certain he'll casually brag about "Gone" charting eight years after its release.

One of my new favorite developments at home has been Hope's tendency to perch herself on top of Julia's tiny red knitted pouf in order to look out the window. I was never a big fan of poufs, but now I keep spotting them in stores and wanting to bring them home so I can create more tiny perches for Hope around the house. So today I thought I'd roundup 10 Cute Poufs I wouldn't mind adding to our home to add a little extra seating- even if it's just Hope using them most of the time. From stripes and Moroccan leather poufs to vintage Kilim rug, faux fur and burlap poufs, there's something here for every style. And, if you'd prefer to make your own we have two tutorials on D*S for making poufs/beanbags that let you customize things or save a little money if you'd prefer to make something on your own. xo, grace

I like these! This would make a good sewing machine DIY.
Hi Grace – love these – can you fix the captions as some don't relate to the product shown above?
The round swirl felt pouf at West Elm is very tempting, especially at the price! Poufs are great, I'd love to make my own sometime. I've seen tutorials where you knit or crochet a ball and then take an old duvet and stuff it inside.
Kind of pretty aren't they?! I wonder – How heavy are these usually? What do you think they are stuffed with?
LOVE these! Would you do a pouf DIY? I'd love to get stuck in. Actually- what is inside a pouf…?
These are great – I especially like the kilim pouf. I'm with Sophie – a DIY pouf blog post would be amazing!
This post comes at a perfect time! I have an empty spot in my living/office area and have been thinking about poufs, so thanks for sharing these :)
Love some of the poufs listed, a few I haven't seen before. Like the Kilim Pouf from Target but sadly its link isn't working.

This bright and summery entree salad, which uses a savory apricot puree as both marinade and dressing, makes a refreshing change from the standby Chicken Caesar. The salad also works well with sliced peaches or nectarines.
Nutrition Profile: Gluten Free Diet Heart Healthy High Calcium High Fiber High Potassium Low Cholesterol Low Sat Fat Low Sodium
Serves 4
Prep Time 30 min
Total Time 40 min.
Step 1
Preheat grill.
Step 2
To prepare marinade & dressing: Soak dried apricots in hot water for 10 minutes. Drain and transfer apricots to a food processor. Add 2 cups mint, orange zest, orange juice, honey, mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper. Process until smooth. With the motor running, gradually drizzle in oil. Reserve 1 cup for the dressing.
Step 3

Lightly oil the grill rack (hold a piece of oil-soaked paper towel with tongs and rub it over the grate). Grill the chicken over medium-high heat until no longer pink in the center, 6 to 8 minutes per side. (Discard the marinade.)
Step 5
Meanwhile, combine lettuce, apricot (or plum) wedges and chopped mint in a large bowl. Add the reserved dressing and toss to coat. Divide the salad among 4 plates. Slice the chicken and arrange over the salads. Sprinkle with almonds and serve.

Sean Payton: Preparing for a hot game in Tampa
by Deke Bellavia
posted Sep 10 2013 3:35PM
Following the dramatic win over the Falcons, Head Coach Sean Payton talked with me and Bobby Hebert for our weekly Coaches Show on the New Orleans Saints Radio Network.
The Coach told us the upcoming matchup against Tampa is another extremely important early-season game.
"Well, it's a division game," Payton said. "When you look at the head-to-head matchups...a good example would be a year ago. Atlanta won 13 games in the regular season, and three of their losses came to Carolina, New Orleans, and Tampa Bay. So, any time you're playing someone in the division, especially on the road, it's going to be a challenge.
Payton told us the mid-September matchup in humid, hot Tampa requires some special preparations.
"When we looked at this game early in the schedule, you knew that it was also going to be a game where we're going to have to deal with some hot temperatures, and I'm sure we'll be in the black jerseys. So, we'll have to make sure we're ready to rotate guys in there, handle the heat, make sure we're hydrated and prepared...but certainly this is a challenge for us.
And while he was pleased with the win over Atlanta, he said there is still lots to improve upon this week.
"When you have the chance to come in on Mondays and watch the tape, you see a lot of things, especially in week one. I mentioned this in the team meeting - The corrections we have to make here from week one, heading into next week...we're all kind of in a race to improve now, and quickly get things a lot of things cleaned up, in all three phases."
Click HERE to listen to our full interview with Coach Sean Payton…
Coach said this weekend, some players will be seeing a lot more time than normal.
I also think in Week One, you're playing a lot of players maybe twice the amount of snaps they're used to playing. Fortunately for us, we had a good rotation going with some of the guys in the defensive line. A handful of DB's and corners played, same way offensively at the receiver position, the running back position...keeping guys fresh this early part of the year, it's going to be the case again this week in Tampa, on the road in some warm weather.
One of those key players on offense will again be Marques Colston, who set a team record for receptions in the win over Atlanta. Payton agreed with us that Colston, a member of the Class of 2006, has been the model of consistency for the Black and Gold.
"I think consistency is a great word to start with," Payton said. "It's hard to believe that he's on his eight season. That draft class was very important for us, and looking back on it now, it's a lot easier to evaluate three years, four years later...and now, here we are, the eight season removed from it. But, he's someone that's got exception hands, they're strong, inside and outside, both as a slot receiver....he's also very smart. He's one of those guys who knows all the positions, and he's been very durable and reliable. I think that consistency, when it pertains to the relationship he and Drew has, goes a long way."

Financial Services Act 2012: overview of reforms
An overview of the changes to the UK financial services regulatory structure made by the Financial Services Act 2012.
On 1 April 2013, the FSA was abolished and the majority of its functions transferred to two new regulators: the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA). On the same date, the Bank of England (BoE) took over the FSA's responsibilities for financial market infrastructures and the Financial Policy Committee (FPC) was established on a statutory basis.

Well, isn't Flying Lotus just casually delivering gems? Not only treating fans to his Until the Quiet Comes short film, which accompanies his upcoming album of the same name, the experimental beatsmith previews the "ruff draft" of his remix of Frank Ocean's channel ORANGE charmer, "Thinkin Bout You."
In similar fashion to Kanye of old, FlyLo speeds up Frankie's vocals to near chipmunk-pace, while laying down a glitchy rhythm and various bass stabs over the original melody. Hilariously enough, this version's dubbed "Binge Eating Without You."
Give it a listen below, and keep a look out for the finished version (although we'll have you covered here at Prefix). Don't forget: FlyLo's fourth LP, Until the Quiet Comes, arrives Oct. 2.

Starring Isabelle Carre, Benoit Poelvoorde
"I want to get married and make chocolates with you forever."
Holy fuck, is this movie romantic. A socially-inept cutie named Angelique (Isabelle Carre, from the perfectly pleasant French pop band Lilicub) applies for a job at a chocolate factory run by the equally awkward Jean-Rene (Benoit Poelvoorde, AKA the dude from 90's serial killer comedy Man Bites Dog). The factory is actually on its last legs and about to go bankrupt, but he's never had a relationship before, and his therapist told him he needs to ask somebody out, so he hires her. She thinks she's going to make chocolate, but the job is actually for a sales-rep, which she is terrible at, since she panics and faints whenever she has to speak in public. He doesn't really care if she can sell anything, he just wants to take her to dinner.
So, dinner happens. Jean-Rene is such a ball of nerves that he brings a briefcase stuffed with extra shirts everywhere he goes, just in case he sweats through the one he's wearing. And that's exactly what he does five minutes into their stammering dinner conversation. He retreats to the bathroom, and comes out wearing a ridiculous ruffled shirt. He's so embarrassed, he escapes out the bathroom window and runs home.
Meanwhile, Angelique is trying to make sales and getting nowhere. Everybody thinks Jean-Rene's chocolate is awful. She's got a secret weapon to save the company – she's actually an expert chocolatier – but she can't tell anybody, or she'll be too nervous to make any chocolate. What to do? Also meanwhile, Angelique and Jean-Rene share a kiss, and it's suddenly clear that they're both nuts for each other. The problem is, they're also both literally nuts.
So, can love win out over panic attacks?
Hey man, love wins over everything if it's speaking French.
What can I say? This movie is fucking delightful. If you're not shoveling chocolate down your gullet and/or making out on the couch with somebody by the time it's over, then abandon all hope.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear Lists › How's this compare to most guys/gals?
Mar 1, 2012 at 3:33 pm #1286464
Getting ready for a group hike 2 nights.
Weight of everything; food, water, clothes, everything = 27.4 lbs
Weight without food/water = 18.8 lbsHow does this compare with the average? No, I don't have a goal of super UL.
I admit, since it is a group hike, I did throw in two coke's and a little more food than I normally would. This is the first time I am going with a thermarest. If that thing isn't a whole lot better than the ground, it'll be gone.
Mar 1, 2012 at 4:15 pm #1847526My Skin-Out weight without consumables is in the 14-15lb range when going solo. You're not too far off at 18.8lbs; especially if its only two nights and you don't have a weight goal in mind.
Mar 1, 2012 at 4:59 pm #1847556If you are comfortable with it, can hike at the speed you want, and don't have sore pressure points from the pack then you are good to go.
Doesn't matter what everyone else does.
Mar 1, 2012 at 5:25 pm #1847575If you are out for two nights and are hiking semi flat terrain for under 10 miles a day then you are all good in my mind.
Mar 1, 2012 at 5:30 pm #1847578Depends on your size as well. I hike with someone who is 108 pounds. I am 210 pounds. 20 pounds mean totally different things to each of us.
Mar 1, 2012 at 9:54 pm #1847685I totally agree with what Ken said about relative weight. I started an A.T. thru-hike right in front of a 5'2" average health lady with a 50lb (on the scale) pack that I had to help her lift. I believe she failed to make it past her first night. I also met a 6' healthy male White Mountains shelter caretaker who regularly carries 75 lbs up and down the mountains with supplies and maintenance materials – and he also (successfully) carried a 50 lb pack all the way from GA–> to ME (because, and I quote "anything less than 50 lbs and I'd be out of shape…." (I carried around 20 lbs so go figure). Everyone is different , so find what is comfortable and doable for you – and go with it !
Mar 2, 2012 at 5:54 am #18477462 questuons to ask.
Would your hike be more enjoyable with less weight?
Can you reduce that weight without losing comfort or spending money.To answer your question you are light weight compared to the average backpacker. Around here you are heavy.
I would bet that If you post your gear list we can remove 3 lbs from your pack without spending very much money or reducing comfort. For sure you could lose a lb or two. For me being under 20 lbs creates a big difference from 25 so i think it is worth fighting totake off the weight.
Mar 2, 2012 at 6:00 am #1847747Let's see a gear list. It's fun for us.
Mar 4, 2012 at 7:44 pm #1848767Sure; I'm up for a good lashing. I went out this weekend and had a great time. The pack was very tolerable and actually less weight than most there. We went for 3 days/2 nights. Lots of rocky type steep ups and downs; a bunch of creek crossings. It looks like my sleeping stuff needs the help. I don't know exact weights, I may look them up and edit later.
Bag : Osprey Kestrel 48 , just over 3lbs
Tent : Eureka spitfire, 3 lbs
Sleeping bag : Kelty Cosmic down 20* , over 3 lbs
Pad : Thermarest Trail Small , don't know weight
Pillow : noneOther stuff:
candle lantern : I really liked this. Though I only need to bring one candle, not two.
Optimus cup with trangia alcohol stove. The stove to be nixed, gonna get one of those little burners and small canisters. They will fit into my cup.
Frog Togg thingy rain poncho.
Black Diamond trekking poles. Didn't use nearly as much as thought.
Clothes: fleece shirt, 2 prs socks, 2 underbritches, base layer top & bottom, 1 extra T shirt.
Food: not much here; 6 tortillas, 4 p.butter packets, three packs jelly, one hot chocolate, 6 packs instant oatmeal, 4 granola bars. 2 small bottle cokes.
Katadyn Filter, two filled water bottles.
Folding T.brush, folding hairbrush, small t.paste, contact stuff.That's pretty much it.
What I would like help on is the sleeping arrangement. A suggested lighter/smaller compressible sleeping bag. And, another light and compressible pad option (the thermarest didn't impress me much). As far as the tent, I don't want to completely go bare min. here. I am thinking about seeing if I can just set up the fly with trekking poles. Then, it would be no inside and no poles.I'm ok with the other stuff I listed, but you can tear me apart if you like; others will learn and get new ideas that way. I would be happy to carry only 20 total lbs compared to my 27 total lbs this weekend.
Mar 4, 2012 at 7:46 pm #1848768Temps this weekend got down to 25* at night.
Mar 5, 2012 at 12:37 am #1848839the best(lightest) way to improve your sleeping quarters is really simple,sleeping pills.I am not really a fan of that but my brother who might spend 6 nights a year on his pad swears by them. sleeping on most of the lighter weight pads is something you just kinda get used to. option B could be possibly buying another pad such as the klymite inertia X pad and just stacking the pads,as you camp more eventually you will feel comfortable ditching one. depending on the group and situation alcohol makes for a pretty good pad too,this could just be my college mentality but its worked for lots of my friends.
Mar 5, 2012 at 5:46 am #184885748 litres seems like a lot of pack for a 3 day trip. If you find that you have lots of space left after packing all your gear you might consider downsizing. The six moon designs Feather is 40 litres and 11 ounces for $130.00. If you really do need 50 litres their Swift is only 15 oz.
REI is still listing the Flash 50 at $99.93 http://www.rei.com/product/830582/rei-flash-50-pack-special-buy and 29 oz in its minimalist configuration.
If youre comfortable with sleeping under a tarp you can get one in silnylon that weighs 16 oz or less for under $100.00.
A z-lite 3/4 inch pad is comfortable enough for lots of folks and weighs 14 oz for the full size version at a cost of $35 to $40. They offer other sizes as well.
The Frontier Pro water filter weighs 2 or 3 ounces and costs 25 or 30 bucks. Research this before switching though. Not everyone is comfortable with its capabilities.
Mar 5, 2012 at 6:32 pm #1849297Crocs are heavy, almost a pound. Pool shoes or thongs are lighter if you look around and weigh various models or if you hike in trail runners instead of boots you dont need the crocs. – 1 lb
What kind of water bottles are you using? I would suspect they are some kind of nalagene type. If so switching these out for soft sided platy bottles or plain gatorade bottles would save about 6 oz. The lightest katadyn filters weight about 8 oz. Using clo2 tabs or drops would save all that weight – 14 oz on water system
The cokes are really heavy so unless you really enjoy them i would take something powdered. Even cans you are at 24 oz for two cokes
Hair brush i would leave behind or at least at the trailhead.
Your clothing you look like you have an extra shirt. I would leave that behind as you already have your base layer plus what you are wearing.
So you have about 4 lbs that you can cut for free. I think you would notice that amount.

I've seen this type of question before, and its always been for homework or spam generation -- you say it isn't, great, whats it for?

MacLeod, Matthew and Scheringer, Martin and Podey, Heike and Jones, Kevin C. and Hungerbuhler, Konrad (2007) The origin and significance of short-term variability of semi-volatile organic contaminants in air. Environmental Science and Technology, 41 (9). pp. 3249-3253. ISSN 0013-936X
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Persistent semivolatile contaminants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) cycle between air and surface media in the environment. At different locations and times, PCB concentrations in air over a diel (24-hour) period have been observed to have maxima either during the day or at night. These observations have been interpreted as evidence of temperature-mediated air-surface exchange and of degrading reactions with hydroxyl radicals in the atmosphere. However, a general explanation of the processes responsible for the observed diel variability in concentrations has not been provided. Here, we interpret diel monitoring data using a multimedia mass balance model parametrized with local data on temperature, wind speed, atmospheric mixing height, and hydroxyl radical concentrations. We demonstrate that four factors are sufficient to account for the variability of PCB concentrations in air over a diel period; temperature, local atmospheric stability, hydroxyl radical concentration, and source type. We apply the model to re-interpret past diel monitoring studies and find that the observed patterns of concentrations can be rationalized by consideration of these factors. Using insights from this study, future diel monitoring campaigns can be targeted to observe the influence of specific fate and transport processes. Such studies will contribute to more accurate understanding of the processes controlling the short-term local, and long-term global fate of persistent semivolatile contaminants.

Liverpool 2-2 Young Boys
Match Reports, Updated:
[.[views].], BY ClubCall
Liverpool suffered a Europa League qualification blow as Young Boys twice came from behind to earn a late point at Anfield.
The home side started well and took the lead in the 32nd minute, when Jonjo Shelvey headed home from close range after a chipped cross from the impressive Joe Cole.
Young Boys responded well at the start of the second half though and equalised on 52 minutes, when Argentine striker Raul Bobadilla fired a fierce left-footed shot across Pepe Reina and into the far corner to stun the Anfield crowd.
Liverpool came again and good interplay between substitutes Luis Suarez and Steven Gerrard played in Cole, who turned in the box and fired in left footed.
A win would have seen the Reds qualify from the group, but with just two minutes to go, a powerful shot from Elsad Zverotic from outside the area flew into the roof of Reina's net.
The result now means Brendan Rodgers' men need to avoid defeat away to Udinese in their final group game to stand a chance of progressing.
