Buzz: Sketchy Reasons Emerging for Cutting Cook
With the news yesterday that the Jets cut Emmanuel Cook, Rich Cimini followed up on the issue and had some insight into the reason the team cut him.
Rex Ryan declined to give a reason, saying, "Every decision we make is generally for the benefit of our football team. I'm not going to get into the specifics of what led us to make a decision." A cryptic answer, to be sure.
Sources said it stemmed from something that happened Monday during the team's workout, the usual day-after conditioning session. The details are sketchy, but it appears the strength-and-conditioning coach thought Cook was late for the workout when he was actually there. Some close to the team believe Cook was released because one of the higher-ups in the organization was watching the workout and felt he wasn't running hard.
According to Cimini, he goes on to write that the news came as a surprise to his teammates. Cook struggles in coverage, and that's something the Jets safeties already have issues with, in spades. Even so, Cook was establishing himself on specials and could have been working his way into a 'Digs' type role in coming years. We'll see if he stays unsigned into the offseason, and then whether or not the team tries to bring him back.
With the reaction that Cimini makes note of, it seems to me like cutting Cook was public execution to strike a little fear into his teammates. I'm glad that Rex likes the guy who will be replacing Cook, Tracy Wilson on the roster. We'll see if he gets activated this weekend and if so, how Wilson performs on Special Teams.

Mets may play exhibition games in Vegas next spring
According to the Star-Ledger, Mets officials have considered playing an exhibition game next spring in Las Vegas before the 2013 season begins.
Yesterday, at a press conference in Las Vegas, Sandy Alderson announced that Wally Backman will remain in the Mets organization as manager of their new Triple-A affiliate, the Las Vegas 51s.
The Mets played two exhibition games in Vegas right before the 1996 season, along with the Red Sox, Mariners, A's and Padres.

Apple, Samsung, and HTC better have August 7th circled on their calendars. This is the day that a new high-end smartphone is entering the market. LG's G2 is the new contender. Boasting some high-end components and performance, this phone is sure to add another dynamic layer to the phone market and further push tech as companies are forced to take notice.
While we still don't know every feature of the LG G2, what we do know is already staggering. The LG G2 will be powered by a 2.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC with 2 GB of RAM. The screen is huge, measuring in at 5.2 inches. The screen is of course full HD and will have a resolution of 1920x1080. It will house a 13 megapixel camera and will also feature dual speakers, taking on the HTC One as another smartphone with stereo sound. Lastly, this LTE phone will run on the Android 4.2.2 Operating System. Clearly this phone was built and designed to challenge the best of the best.
There are some interesting factors to be determined when it comes to this phone. Firstly, while it is being unveiled on the 7th, we don't know when this phone will be on shelves. Secondly, a phone with the specs that the G2 has should be quite expensive. In order to catch attention LG will need to be competitive price wise. In fact, undercutting the current crop of phones would introduce some real mayhem to the market and make things very interesting for the big phone companies. Lastly, we don't know if these are the full specs for the phone. How much more can they cram in that chassis? We'll have to wait and see if LG stands pat or has any tricks up their sleeve. PureMobile will be on top of the announcement and we'll keep you updated on this new smartphone from LG.

(a) Composition; application; publication in Federal Register; expense; administration of federally owned lands
The national wild and scenic rivers system shall comprise rivers
(ii) that are designated as wild, scenic or recreational rivers by or pursuant to an act of the legislature of the State or States through which they flow, that are to be permanently administered as wild, scenic or recreational rivers by an agency or political subdivision of the State or States concerned that are found by the Secretary of the Interior, upon application of the Governor of the State or the Governors of the States concerned, or a person or persons thereunto duly appointed by him or them, to meet the criteria established in this chapter and such criteria supplementary thereto as he may prescribe, and that are approved by him for inclusion in the system, including, upon application of the Governor of the State concerned, the Allagash Wilderness Waterway, Maine; that segment of the Wolf River, Wisconsin, which flows through Langlade County; and that segment of the New River in North Carolina extending from its confluence with Dog Creek downstream approximately 26.5 miles to the Virginia State line. Upon receipt of an application under clause (ii) of this subsection, the Secretary shall notify the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and publish such application in the Federal Register. Each river designated under clause (ii) shall be administered by the State or political subdivision thereof without expense to the United States other than for administration and management of federally owned lands. For purposes of the preceding sentence, amounts made available to any State or political subdivision under the Land and Water Conservation Act of 1965 [16 U.S.C. 460l–4 et seq.] or any other provision of law shall not be treated as an expense to the United States. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to provide for the transfer to, or administration by, a State or local authority of any federally owned lands which are within the boundaries of any river included within the system under clause (ii).
(b) Classification, designation, and administration of rivers
A wild, scenic or recreational river area eligible to be included in the system is a free-flowing stream and the related adjacent land area that possesses one or more of the values referred to in section 1271 of this title. Every wild, scenic or recreational river in its free-flowing condition, or upon restoration to this condition, shall be considered eligible for inclusion in the national wild and scenic rivers system and, if included, shall be classified, designated, and administered as one of the following:
(1) Wild river areas—Those rivers or sections of rivers that are free of impoundments and generally inaccessible except by trail, with watersheds or shorelines essentially primitive and waters unpolluted. These represent vestiges of primitive America.
(2) Scenic river areas—Those rivers or sections of rivers that are free of impoundments, with shorelines or watersheds still largely primitive and shorelines largely undeveloped, but accessible in places by roads.

WEST CARTHAGE Construction activity should be seen soon at the South Main Street boat launch and trailhead, according to River Area Council of Governments circuit rider Kathleen M. Amyot. The project is scheduled to be completed in September.
According to literature that is now being distributed, an ad hoc committee was formed last year to guide the development and expansion of the existing boat launch and picnic area as a motorized and non-motorized trailhead to promote year-round recreation activities.
Now, as the construction stage is about to begin, the committee is looking for donations of items that were not budgeted for, including trees, a gazebo, park benches, barbecues, signs and a retention wall.
The project has received $114,908 from the Recreational Trails Grant Program in 2009, $4,500 from the Black River Advisory Council and $8,000 from the T.F. Wright Foundation.
Funding applications for the project have been filed with the state Consolidated Funding Application, the state Environmental Facilities Corp. Green Infrastructure Grant Program in the amount of $75,000 and the state Environmental Protection Fund Single Purpose Planning Grant in the amount of $62,500.
To learn more about the project, donate or volunteer, call Ronald J. Blinebry at 783-7113.

Looks fake...
By YogaSandy
from Pittsboro, NC
I was hoping for something I could add on and go anywhere anytime. But it looks too slick, too polished. Maybe if I oil my hair and and really slick it back, it might work for formal affairs in dark rooms. I tried it again today before I wrote the review and found than putting it further back on my head (instead of like a crown), it does look a bit better. I'll also sew more clips in to keep it on. There must be something better than toupe clips...
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I bought this. And was hugely disappointed. The thing is huge. Almost as big as my head. It has small clips so it wouldn't stay in my hair. And it didn't sit properly on my head. Looked like an ugly hair hat.

Big mistake. Shojld be called a fascinator, not a hair piece. Thecolor and texture are all wrong and very artificial looking.

The mission of the food allergy center is to provide the best possible care through multidisciplinary care and research.
Dr. Shreffler has developed a highly integrated research andclinical program to better understand the pathogenic mechanisms of food allergyand asthma and provide the best current and future care. The Shreffler laboratory focuses on the characterization ofcellular and humoral immune response to dietary antigens and the mechanisms ofallergen-induced Th2 sensitization and oral tolerance. Areas of activeinvestigation include 1) the mechanisms of allergenic dendritic cell (DC)activation by allergens and the DC signals that induce Th2 differentiation; 2)the role of regulatory T cells in natural and immunotherapy-induced oraltolerance; 3) the role of IgE diversity and basophil activation and theirregulation in both the effector response and in adaptive immune deviation inthe context of food allergy and asthma.
Dr. Shreffler received his MD and PhD degrees from New YorkUniversity and his Pediatrics training at the Albert Einstein College ofMedicine. He completed his fellowship in Allergy & Immunology at the MountSinai School of Medicine in 2003. He is board certified in Pediatrics andAllergy/ Immunology and is a fellow of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthmaand Immunology. He sits on the editorial board for the Journal of Allergy andClinical Immunology, the leading specialty journal for his field.

We primarily workwith human samples, often in conjunction with clinicalinterventional or observational studies, to interrogate both the innate andadaptive immune responses to major dietary and aeroallergens.
Working together with numerous collaboratorsincluding from the Consortium for Food AllergyResearch , the Inner City Asthma Consortium and our own newly established FoodAllergy Center at MGH, we are adapting the use of polychromatic flowcytometry, peptide microarray-based humoral immune profiling and systemsbiology approaches to uniquely characterize the phenotype and function of allergen-specificT and B cell responses and the regulations of effector cells in pediatric foodallergy and asthma.
Also important is the effort to understand whysome food proteins are potent allergens. In other words, what are themechanisms that influence early immune fate decisions to allergens and theintrinsic properties of those allergens that facilitate an allergic response. Weare studying this in human and murine model systems.

...next they will be saying that they found bushmeat in our food!!!
For those that do not know, there is a food safety crisis here in the UK whereby a lot of ready meals described as being "beef" were found to have up to 100% horsemeat in them. The French meat suppliers of Findus were found to be sourcing a lot of their meat from Romania, which is where the horsemeat got into the supply chain in the first place.
Now we're being told that the horsemeat found could actually be donkey. How much worse can it get? (Actually, they found bushmeat being sold on London markets a couple of years back, so it would not surprise me if they next found bushmeat in our ready meals...).

Congratulations to the Featured Geocacher of the Month, The Weasel
The decibel level from the global geocaching community rose to new heights during voting in January. Hundreds of geocachers commented to support of outstanding nominees from the United States and the United Kingdom. More than 800 comments were tallied for all the nominees.
Each geocacher nominated offers the global geocaching community a unique example of a caring geocacher. All are truly winners, as we learned about these three gracious and giving geocachers. Thank you to all those who supported them. The nominees not chosen as featured Geocacher of the Month will receive a gift of appreciation from Geocaching.
After tallying the comments and careful consideration, 2013 begins with The Weasel being named January's Featured Geocacher of the Month!
The Weasel is recognized for organizing Cache In Trash Out (CITO) events, helping guide local geocaching as a board member of the Iowa Geocacher Organization, and spreading the word about proper geocaching etiquette through conducting and assisting in over 50 geocaching 101, 201 and 301 classes and workshops throughout the State of Iowa and abroad.
A geocacher who voted for The Weasel writes, "I heard my parents speak over and over again about caches put out by The Weasel, so I had to see for myself what was so good about them. On a few visits to see my parents we headed out to get a little caching in. Inevitably nearly every cache that I liked turned out to be placed by The Weasel. His caches are fun, unique, well placed, and well maintained. You can't help but get excited about geocaching when you are working on one of his caches! And to know how much he cares about his community, the environment, and the awareness and promotion of geocaching through friendships and education"
Featured Geocacher of the Month Icon
The Weasel will receive a collector's edition featured Geocacher of the Month Geocoin, along with a Geocacher of the Month hat and certificate acknowledging his contributions, signed by two of the founders of Geocaching.com. See a list of all the featured Geocachers of the Month here.
If you know an outstanding geocacher who should be considered for the honor, send an email to email@example.com. Every nomination must meet the following requirements:
Please inform your nominee that you've submitted them for the award.
Nominations for the February Featured Geocacher of the Month must be received by the end of the day on Friday, February 8, 2013.
Once we have received all of the nominations, we will choose three candidates and post them on the Geocaching blog. You will then get a chance to champion your favorite. Our goal is to involve the entire geocaching community in this process so we might learn from each other.

What do citizens think about companies? Offentliggjort den: 04/04/2013
Do people think that small companies or large companies make most efforts to behave responsibly towards society? And do they think that the overall impact of companies on society is positive or negative? These and other questions are part of a unique survey covering the EU and countries such as the USA, China, Brazil, India and Turkey.
The answers of course depend on who you ask. Europeans are much more likely to think that smaller companies behave responsibly compared to large companies. But ask a Brazilian and you'll probably get a very different answer. Europeans also tend to be less positive than non-Europeans about the overall impacts of business. But Europeans themselves are nothing if not diverse: 85% of Danes think enterprises have a positive impact compared to just 36% of Italians and Slovenians.
See the full survey results here.

Submission Smartphone companies are now entering a phase of Mutually Assured Destruction->
Tryfen writes: As patent trials rage across the globe, it has become clear that smartphone companies are engaged in Mutually Assured Destruction. What's the endgame here? Do they all capitulate and cross-licence their patents? Are they forced to buy patents and pass the costs onto customers? Will companies withdraw — voluntarily or otherwise — from the smartphone space?

that is very dissapointing, although this is one of the best forums in my opinion, just cuz there isnt alot of activity, you can keep up, check out some other linux forums and you are like whoa this is too much, if i post i probably wont see the responce and will have to search aimlessly through the forum.

I agree with Omo... I think that this is the best forum by far. I like the fact that the response time is great, and the advice is usually dead-on.
Another thing that makes the forums appealing is that, when I get a response to a question, the answer comes from a particular person's experience instead of being BS'd. I spent some time at other forums before coming here, and it was almost as if people were just saying things... to say them. They had no background or something. People in this forum actually have no problem going out of their way and doing RESEARCH (absolutely insane!). Take it from me being a relative newb, I have written many questions on these forums, and NEVER have a received the response "go look it up on google". People are very willing to help, and that makes the whole thing worthwhile.
Another important part of this (to me, anyway) is the lower number of members. It actually makes the place more friendly. Since there aren't 20,000 members, you can kind of get to know the people you are dealing with.
So, I would just have to say that although there aren't too many folks left, the forums here display quality, not quantity.

Well, the lack of "RTFM" or "do a google for it" is mostly because Aragorn set this site up from the beginning to NOT respond to questions that way. I will occasionally give an RTFM or "google" response, but only if I feel it's warranted. That's a rare occasion. I'm more likely to say "google" for it than say RTFM, but even then, I tell what combinations of search terms to use for what I feel would be the best results. Google is usually the first place I go when I don't understand a man or info page, and can't seem to find any examples for how to do something. Then I google for it, to try to find a better explanation or example, so I can better understand. Most of the time, I do the google, play with it a bit, then give a response if I don't already have a question, rather than giving a "google" for it though
One of the reasons I like this place is, we try to respect each other INCLUDING the new people, because without new people, the *nix community will stagnate and fall apart. We need new people to be interested and they simply WILL NOT BE if you tell them to RTFM. (I know I said I sometimes give an RTFM response if I feel it's warranted, but I ALWAYS give what FM to R when I do )
It's strange to have so few members, and such a great layout. Oh well, that's how life is. It would be nice if some of our quality members from the past were to rejoin us, but they are to caught up with grudges me thinks.

Skynet, I agree. I have apologized for the lack of care I have given to the site in the past. I also apologized to all of you. I still dont have the time to dedicate to the site that I would like. I also expect you and them to realize I have a life as well that I must pay for on a day to day basis, so work is a precedent to me. If I could find a way to make GLO a full time job I would and spend 24/7 on GLO. I love GLO and even though it hasn't turned out the way I wanted it to after 2 years, it is still my pride and joy. I am proud of what I have created here and although we have almost nill membership I think we have helped quite a few people along the way and have a good website, yes a bit slim right now, but I am trying to work on that over the next few weeks. If I can turn this into a site like LinuxOrbit(I think he does LO for a living) I would, as long as it kept the same kind of feel it does now. I don't want advertising all over the site and I have never asked any of you for money. So GLO has never made me any money, but I still care for it and all the dedicated members greatly. And those who do have a grudge I care for them too, this site wouldn't be even where it is at now if it wasn't for them.
Gaxprels, you are right I have set this site up to be this way and I will keep it this way. RTFM is the bane of linux. Giving ideas for google searches are not RTFM, sometimes we don't have the experience that vwgtiturbo was speaking of, so we give ideas on where to look to find the answer if it is not here.
Mugs, thank you for coming back. I actually had a hard time deleting your name because I figured you were busy with life as well. I've read your website and I know you lead a very busy and involved life as well. Only reason I did go ahead and do it is to kind of give everything a fresh start, so I do apologize.
Thank you for your dedication everyone,
If you give a man a fire he'll be warm, if you light the man on fire he'll be warm for life.
harrah for aragorn!

Thanks Aragorn, I appreciate your concern. No problem deleting me. I have been busy and we had a bad hurricane here last month--had no power for 11 days.
Maybe I have gotten a little better with Linux ;D ??? and dont have to ask as many questions, but I do enjoy coming here and reading other questions. I will try to be around more.

CLEVELAND -- Every election, voters ask why there are school levies on the ballot when the Ohio Lottery and casinos help fund the schools?
There are about 200 school tax issues on the ballot Tuesday.
Every election, voters want to know why, with lottery money and casinos, levies are necessary?
According to the Ohio Department of Education, only about 14 percent of state aid that goes to schools is from lottery proceeds.
As far as casinos, the profits continue to fluctuate, but the Ohio School Board Association estimates that casino money will only add up to about $22 to $50 per student in Ohio.
Considering the average per pupil spending is about $11,000, that is a small amount.
In August, only about 30 percent of levies passed in Ohio, so many districts hope that November will have a better passage rate.

Hi there, new here! I picked up my dog as a stray a month ago. She was abandon in a small town and nobody claimed her. It is very sad, but i dont think she has ever had it as good as she does now! We had her spayed and all her shots updated so she is good to go!
Never a dull moment with this dog, she has quite the personality. You can see from these couple pictures that she is a character. The safety gasses she saw me wearing them, so i put them on her and she wore them around and didnt care at all haha. My lil shop dog. 90% of the time she is carrying her ball around and loves to play fetch!
I am hoping to find some helpful tips and tricks to hopefully train her to be better around people and other dogs. She is very protective over me and her home.

Want to encourage employees or students to eat in your campus cafeterias? Follow the example of Eurest Dining Services (a division of Compass Group USA), which is running highly successful mobile marketing campaigns using Microsoft Tag.
Eurest wanted to add a mobile component to its dining marketing, particular to take advantage of mobile couponing and interact with customers on the fly. Since Eurest manages the campus cafeterias at Microsoft's Redmond headquarters – 35 cafés serving 51,000 people – it decided to start there.
"We chose Microsoft Tag because of its ease of use and the 'green' flexibility of being able to print a Tag once and update the content behind it at will, extending the life of printed materials," says Mark Freeman, senior services manager for the Microsoft concession, the only corporate cafeterias to earn three stars from the Green Restaurant Association.
For the pilot campaign, Eurest targeted 4,875 diners at four locations, placing Tags on disposable cups in cafés and kitchenettes. Employees scanned them with their smartphones to win meal discounts. The response was overwhelming: Cafés saw a 45 percent redemption rate (four times the norm), and winners spent 15 percent more on their checks than non-players. The Tags were also used to communicate information on weekly specials, nutritional information, and other promotions.
The promotion has since been rolled out campus-wide, and to date, redemption rates are 71 percent and winner check averages have increased 11 percent. The broader campaign includes table tents and posters. In addition, the Tags also provide information on weekly dining specials and nutritional values.
"We've had a fantastic experience in working with Tag," says Bill Barfoot, content manager with Eurest. "Adoption has been phenomenal and it's very easy for customers to use."
Results from the pilot were so successful that Compass Group launched Tag marketing campaigns at six university campuses in Fall 2010. At the colleges, Tags were printed on posters, door hangers, brochures, table tents, pagers, and napkin holders. Cafeteria staff even wore Tagged T-shirts. The marketing encouraged students to scan the Tags to receive coupons, promotions, and other discounts for campus food services.
Future plans include leveraging Tag's Device ID functionality to distribute larger prizes based on the number of times a customer has scanned the Tags.

I led a group to Philmont in 2003. Other than prohibiting hammocks and bivies, we were able to limit our weight to 35 - 40 lbs. per person which included food and 3 -4 litres of water per person. The guides assigned to each crew for the shakedown are college-age young men who take their jobs seriously but seem to appreciate the value of lightening the load. I brought my Tarptent Squall. One evening my adult partner and I had to get up and re-orient the tent because the wind had changed direction but other than that, it worked great. I also brought my own silnylon tarp to replace their dining fly (highly recommended). If your troop has good backpacking tents, by all means, bring your own...theirs weigh in at 7 + lbs as I recall. With proper planning and distribution of gear, all of your boys should be able to handle their loads comfortably. After all, thousands do it every year.Have a great time; it is a trip of a lifetime.
What about the 25 lbs of "crew" gear I have read about on the web pages you cite?
I went to Philmont in 2003 as an adult co-leader. Here are my best advice:1. SHELTER. I had an OR Advanced Bivy as my co-leader had a solo tent and didn't want to share a larger tent. (Eveyone does need their space when you are together 24/7 for 11 days.) So I went with the bivy for pure weight reasons. For someone who had claustrophobia as a kid, my bivy and I co-existed just fine. Rain or shine, we survived together. So to respond to the tarp tent question - YES if only if you have the bath tub floor option.2. BACKPACK. I had a Gregory Forester which is optimum for 40 lbs but inadequate for 50-60 lbs. You do really get loaded down with crew gear and food (repack in base camp if you can). I would have preferred a larger pack that could handle the extra bulk and weight more comfortably. 3. FOOD. Don't eat the strawberry cheesecake desert. It made everyone either queasy or sick (like me). The Philmont food wasn't bad but it could be repacked into ZipLOC bags for bulk and weight savings. They give you too many peanut butter and cheese packets. Consider leaving about 10% behind at base camp. I also thought the dry granola in some of the breakfasts was hard to eat. Consider bringing a few extra pouches of oatmeal - mix with either cold or hot water as convenient.
Hi. we're headed to Philmont in a couple of weeks. I have seen the description of the Philmont tests but wonder about the weight. Can anyone give an estimate of experience with them? Thanks.
Tom... read Gerard's post above from 5/4/05... He said his best recollection was 7+ pounds. From what I remember that is about right.
Has everyone read the article on this site "Boy Scout Gear list"? http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/process?id=6ht9SgHz&mv_pc=107#forumtopMany of the ideas there could be used on a Philmont trek.
I just got back from Philmont. Frankly, I was very impressed with the program they have. They do some things that make pack weights go up, but many of them are driven by concerns about bears, hypothermia and keeping a bunch of finicky teenagers from bonking on the trail from lack of food. I carried about a 45 pound pack out of base camp that included a 21 pound base weight (including a large crew first aid kit) and 24 pounds of food (8 two-person meals), water and a 33 oz. bottle of white gas. The crew gear for our crew consisted of a four-pound, Philmont issue tarp, 8 plastic burlap sacks to use as bear bags, two ropes for the bear bags (one pound each), two large aluminum pots (8-quart), and one pot lid. The total was no more than 10 pounds, or about one extra pound for each member of our crew. I don't think the crew gear is the source of the weight problem. Here are a couple of observations:1. The large tarp they issue to each crew serves primarily as a central location to keep packs at night away from the tents. It is pitched with trekking poles, making it virtually useless to cook under if it is raining. They do not allow you to use trees to hold up the tarp to avoid damaging the trees. I thought it was a lot of weight for not much function. If I go again, I would probably leave it behind, or bring some taller poles (Philmont has them) to make it more functional. Others have suggested bringing a siltarp, which is also a good idea but a little pricey. Because the tarp seems to function as part of Philmont's bear protection program, they may insist upon you having one with you if you are not going to use there tarp.2. I am very ambivalent about the clothing recommendations. On the one hand, I think Philmont recommends way too much clothing. On the on other hand, it gets very cold in some of the camps, especially when it rains, and the typical Philmont camper is not as experienced as the people reading this website. I carried only the clothes I hiked in (long pants from Cloudveil and Railriders long-sleeve shirt), one additional set of clothes (nylon shorts and a short-sleeved shirt), a silponcho, a windshirt and a fleece top. If I go again, I will bring some silnylon rainpants for camp, consider bringing a Marmot Precip, a Packa or other rain jacket (instead of the poncho), and also consider bringing some lightweight long underwear. Frankly, I don't know how people like Ryan Jordan make it in the northern Rockies with the lightweight gear they carry. 2. We did not use the Philmont issue tents. I slept in a floorless tarpent and an Oware Epic bivy. My only problem was that we slept in some meadows where there were lots of bugs in the grass. My two sons and one other boy slept in a Sierra Designs Clip 3.3. I think the big area where we could have saved weight was the food. They give you way to much of it. You resupply every three or four days. Often, we would eat only about two-thirds of the food they would issue. While the food is heavy, I understand why they do what they do: Many of the kids on the trail are on their first multi-day backpacking trip, and Philmont wants to make sure they will have something they will eat. Hence, you get a lot of variety. If I go again, I will be much more aggressive about getting rid of food before I leave the resupply point. 4. I was traveling as the guest of another unit and did not have much say in what others brought. One key to going light is to very strictly look at what everyone is bringing. Otherwise, when you plan to go light, you just end up with more food or crew gear. With good planning, there is no reason why you cannot keep total pack weights under 35 pounds per person, including food and water.
I just got back from philmont and our crew of 7 had a great time. Starting out with 4.5 days of food and 2.5 liters of water my pack weighed 32 lbs.We brought all our own gear and used almost none of philmonts heavy gear. For our crew we used 2 stoves (one canister type) 2 4 qt and 2 2 qt Al and Ti pots, silnylon gear tarp, our own 2 man tents (my HS squall tarptent worked well.) I used platypus water bladders of 1, 2, and 6 liter sizes and when they developed leaks we patched them with duct tape. We used the Philmont heavy bear bag rope because it was easier on hands when hauling 60+lbs up on the cable than my spectra cord. Everything with a smell or been in contact with food goes up in the bear bags every nite.If you have specific gear questions, mail me. firstname.lastname@example.com
Michael,I still have questions about how well "bear bagging", canisters, sacks, or boxes really protect us. I'm NOT saying we shouldn't do these things, but I just wonder. I only bring it up here in this Thread since it has been prev. mentioned, though only in passing.Here's what I mean. If "Everything with a smell or been in contact with food goes up in bear bags every nite", then the only thing left with any food odor on is is me (and my trekkin' mates) & clothing. The sensitivity of a bear's sense of smell is probably at least 3x better than a bloodhound's sense of smell.Can we really clean our hands, mouth, breath, skin glands exuding food odors hours later, & our clothes (a stray greasy 'paw' might have contacted pants or shirt, or some other gear, e.g. tent/tarp or sleeping bag)?Is it just that a bear is NOT near enough to be attracted by our odor & we would be the only thing w/i easy reach of eatin'? I don't know. I just wonder about this. Did you see any bears, any recent evidence of bears, or hear any bears? Were any other critters attracted to either the 'bagged' food or the campers? This might indicate an odor. So, if no bears also showed up, is that an indication that they weren't in the area?Any thoughts anyone?

While you probably will have some food smells in your tent, I would be willing to bet it is significantly weaker than what is drifting out of the bear bag. So, the bears are more likly to check out the bag. Discover they can't reach it and move on.Think of it like this. If you heard something screaming from say a half a mile way would you check out the source of the scream? Or go looking for the crickets 100 yds away? For that mater, would you even hear the crickets?

Tents were kept 50 ft away from backpacks, cooking area, and bear bags. You only entered tents wearing sleeping clothes that were never worn while eating. We didn't see any bears or even hear about any bear siteings but with 21,000 campers going thru this ranch every summer BSA is going to extremes to avoid bear encounters. At first I thought they gave us too much food but by late in the trek we were eating everything they provided plus more food we collected from food swap boxes in the camps.
Michael: Can you post your gear list, and also tell us what kind of tents the others in your group were carrying? I thought I was pretty good about getting my pack weight down but you beat my by at least 12 pounds. However, I am sure that one difference is that it sounds like the others in your crew were committed to going ultra light. I ended up carrying a lot of crew gear to lighten the load of others who had equipment that was too heavy.

We never used all 4 pots for a meal so the 2 qt pot was unnecessarythe 10 oz MSR windpro stove worked well with the big pots and used for about half the cooking/cleaning needs we consumed about 16 oz of fuel Cannister fuel NOT available at base or remote camp stores
Michael A Walker said" ...the 10 oz MSR windpro stove worked well with the big pots and used for about half the cooking/cleaning needs we consumed about 16 oz of fuel"If we were only taking the 355 gm canisters of Isobutane then (same as what your MSR stove used), how many would we likely need for the entire trek for a crew of 12?Thanks,Mike
At first I thought they gave us too much food but by late in the trek we were eating everything they provided plus more food we collected from food swap boxes in the camps.Even the chili-mac? ;-)
The food is packaged per 2 persons so our group of 7 carried food for 8 and ate all of it. For a crew of 12 I would bring 3 kitchens, that is 3 stoves, 3 4l pots 3 2l pots, and 16 oz of iso fuel for each stove. This gives you triple redundancy in case of equipment failure. you'll need to ship your stoves and fuel to Philmont.White gas is available at some staffed camps but isobutane is not. the Al pots were the same or lighter than the Evernew Ti pots and alot less $$ but less convienient to use (pot holders required, clean-up) the Ti pots were "dead sexy" compared to the giant wash tubs Philmont issues to cook in. For personal bowls some of us used the lightweight food storeage containers with tight fitting lids. Easy clean-up by adding hot water and shaking with lid on, then pour into sump. Prior to meal dip bowls and sporks in boiling water to sanitize. That water is later reheated for washing.Only food provided that was universally dispised was cherry gorp. Several breakfasts included dry granola and no powered milk!! Bring your own or learn to choke down dry gorp like a snack right out of the bag.hope you enjoy Philmont as much as I did.
You mentioned philmont gear lists on the web. Can you provide any links,Thanks
I think that there is a lot of information here. http://www.lns.cornell.edu/~seb/philmont.html
We'll be publishing a Philmont gear list next week.

A predicted Metropolitan Statistical Area designation for the Watertown urbanized area is expected to encompass both rural and urban areas, but may affect each differently.
A meeting facilitated by the Tug Hill Commission aims to shed light on how certain programs will change in the coming months.
At 7 p.m. Feb. 7 in the West Carthage Municipal Building, 61 High St., representatives from the state Department of Transportation, state Department of Environmental Conservation and U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development Office will explain how the services they provide will be affected, according to John K. Bartow Jr., executive director of the Tug Hill Commission.
Chief elected officials from the 18 municipalities within the area and members of the public have been invited.
The municipalities include the villages of Brownville, Dexter, Evans Mills and Glen Park, the towns of Brownville, Pamelia, Hounsfield and LeRay, and the city of Watertown.
Municipalities that fall within the Tug Hill Region and the urbanized area are the villages of Black River, Carthage, Deferiet, Herrings and West Carthage and the towns of Champion, Rutland, Watertown and Wilna.
Based upon what has happened in the past, the boundaries of the MSA likely will extend to the borders of Jefferson County, according to county Planning Director Donald R. Canfield.
Despite this nominal shift, Mr. Bartow said, he has been assured by the USDA Office of Rural Development that the funding model for rural communities wont change. He said, however, that it is conceivable that some federal funds that they were previously eligible for, they will no longer be eligible for.
W. David Schermerhorn, USDA Rural Development acting state director, will be at the meeting to talk about how programs will be affected, said Candice L. Celestin, USDA public affairs specialist.
As one of 36 new urbanized areas announced in 2012, a computer formula determined the shape of the Watertown urbanized area based on a complex set of parameters, including the amount of paved surfaces, the proximity of an airport with more than 2,500 annual enplanements and a confusing means of linking outlying areas called hops and jumps.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, a hop provides a connection between two urban-area cores along a road connection of 0.5 of a mile or less. A jump does the same thing, but along a road connection greater than 0.5 of a mile, up to 2.5 miles.
Because of these hops and jumps, the Watertown urbanized area looks less like a concentrated mass of development and more like something from a microbiology class.
So while it may not necessarily occur to residents of LeRay, Carthage or Champion that they are living in an urbanized area, the U.S. Census Bureau says they are.
