Just as wild animals mark their territory, a gentleman must choose fragrance to extend the personal space he inhabits. Men who used to experiment with scent were said to be of questionable character, now if you make little effort to smell sweet you are in the minority.Be in charge of your fragrance and know that it should never dominate you. For whilst it may be appealing to leave a subtle scent, a gentleman is seldom smelt before entering a room!
Do your research and choose a fragrance that fits well with your bodies natural pheromones, that way the unique fragrance you create will be alluring. It will never work quite as well on anyone else! Think of this fragrance as the ultimate accessory, a finishing flourish like your cufflinks or tie pin.
It's time to replace the splash and dash routine of our youth with The Grooming Guide's more considered approach to wearing fragrance. To spray or squirt, and where and when? Here are our do's and dont's to being well scented.
DON'T apply fragrances to the face particularly Eau de Toilettes as their high oil content will cause irritation.
DO apply in the right areas. Get to know your hotspots! These are your pulse points, wrists, neck etc and are the places where our blood flows closer to the surface, it's warmth will unlock the power of your fragrance.
DON'T ever apply a fragrance directly onto your clothing, it will not develop
properly and you may also risk damaging your favourite shirt, tie, jumper etc.
DO layer up. If you have a favourite fragrance that works for you invest in multiple products from the same range (shave foam, balm, deodorant, fragrance etc.) This will prevent you from wearing a heady cocktail of competing smells, after all we all know that most body products can be over fragranced.
DON'T overload yourself. Your nose will quickly adapt to your chosen fragrance making it smell less potent, so be aware of this. Also be wary of the words 'intense' and 'concentrate' when connected with a fragrance and approach these with caution.
DO spray onto a freshly bathed (and dried) body. Just a few squirts on a warm chest will let a scent open up and work its magic.

Do you have any other tips about how to wear fragrance?

LOWVILLE Mandate relief and educational initiatives were among the topics raised by area officials Friday during a visit from a representative of the governor.
Mandate relief is not a panacea, said Matthew J. Driscoll, president and CEO of the state Environmental Facilities Corp., adding that local governments need to seek ways to operate more efficiently and cooperatively.
However, the former Democratic mayor of Syracuse also promised to take concerns about mandate relief raised primarily by West Carthage Mayor Scott M. Burto and Lewis County Legislator Philip C. Hathway, R-Harrisville back to Albany. A mandate relief commission remains active and probably will advance more recommendations in the near future, he said.
Well all want to see what they come up with, Mr. Driscoll said.
Mr. Hathway said the state cap on Medicaid cost increases to counties implemented last year was appreciated, but you only decreased the increase.
Lewis County officials over the past few years have had to make some difficult decisions in order to cover cost increases for mandated programs without implementing huge property tax hikes, but there is only so much they can do without sacrificing services, he said.
I think its time the state starts making some on our behalf, Mr. Hathway said.
After Mr. Driscoll discussed the governors plan to promote full-day prekindergarten through grant funding, Beaver River Central School District Board of Education member Marian M. Opela said her district has long wanted to establish a preschool program but has been unable to fund even a half-day one. She asked where the money would come from and how districts will apply.
Mr. Driscoll said more detail will come out with the release of the governors proposed budget, but the grant program initially would target low-wealth school districts. I think all that information will be out shortly, he said.
Mr. Driscoll began his presentation by reviewing major points from Wednesdays State of the State address.
The governor plans to create jobs by taking better advantage of research done in New York colleges and universities, improving work force training, encouraging renewable energy development and improving regional marketing through a competitive grant program mirrored on the regional economic development councils.
Ideas for educational improvement include lengthening the school year, implementing a bar exam for teacher certification and better utilizing school buildings as hubs for community services.
The governor also is seeking to improve womens equality, establish improved response teams for natural disasters and enact a ban on assault weapons. I want to emphasize, this is not about hunters, Mr. Driscoll said.
The governor has appointed an energy czar to oversee several state agencies, like the New York Energy Research and Development Agency, he said.
Legislator Patrick F. Wallace, R-Lowville, expressed concern about over-regulation and larger government and took exception to the czar idea. Thats Obama crap, he said.
Mr. Driscoll said that state agencies are working to get more efficient, not larger, and that having a coordinated effort is needed to improve the states energy infrastructure.
Improving infrastructure at the local level also is important, but federal funding will need to be retained, he said.
Its important that you speak to your elected representatives in Congress, Mr. Driscoll said.

DERBY LINE – World renowned chefs and entrepreneurs have proposed plans to turn a Derby Line historical mansion into a restaurant and inn. Paulitta and Fritz Halbedl, under the name FriPaulita Inc., unveiled plans for a farm-to-chef's-table restaurant with an international flair, drawing on their culinary experience from around the world.
WESTMORE - It takes courage and perhaps more than a little chutzpah to jump into the icy water of Willoughby Lake on one of the coldest days of of the year, and yet that's what people were doing Tuesday as they donned bathing suits, trudged barefoot across the snow-covered ground, and dove in, all for a good cause.
NEWPORT CITY – Alex Tabor, 32, of Newport, was arrested by Newport City Police Monday after he allegedly fired off a shotgun within city limits. Tabor is scheduled to be arraigned today.
City police responded to the intersection of Pleasant and Third streets just before 1 AM Monday after receiving a complaint that Tabor had fired a gun over someone's head. Someone driving by at the time reported that their vehicle may have been hit but no injuries were reported.
NEWPORT CITY – New Year's Day will forever be memorable for Darlene Gilchrist and Cody Reynolds of Island Pond.
Not only did the couple have the first baby of the New Year to be born at North Country Hospital, they also had the first baby of 2013 to be born in the state.
Sayge Reynolds came into the world at 1:59 a.m. Her weight was six pounds, five ounces and she was 20 inches long.
"It's exciting," said Gilchrist. "Just to know I was the first one in all of Vermont to have a baby of the New Year."
Cody Reynolds, who wasn't sure how to react, said he was taking it all in.

Chaco Sandals: the unofficial official recovery sandal of the Rock/Creek Race Team
If you've seen members of the Rock/Creek Race Team at trail races around the country, you've probably seen more than one pair of Chacos, and that's no accident. Chaco isn't an official sponsor of our Race Team, but so many of our runners wear Chacos before and after racing that we're going to go ahead and call them an unofficial one...
Rock/Creek & Chaco Sandals donate $3,000 to plant trees in Chattanooga
The $3,000 will fund the planting of 18 trees in two sections of median on Dallas Road in Chattanooga. The species selected for planting is an American Elm cultivar called "Princeton," bred for its resistance to Dutch Elm Disease. By selecting the American Elm, we're re-introducing a native tree to the urban landscape...

MASSENA - Village officials will continue to explore their options to fund a project to replace aging water pipes near Highland Road.
The villages Board of Trustees voted 3-2 against a proposal to establish new water rates for village residents and town residents who utilize the system near Highland Road, outside the village, in order to cover the $245,000 cost of the proposed project.
Trustees Francis J. Carvel, Albert C. Herb Deshaies and Patricia K. Trish Wilson voted against the resolution.
Ms. Wilson, who had previously supported proposals to fund the work through new water rates, said she voted against the resolution because she wanted the village to look at ways it could potentially reduce the project cost by utilizing the villages Department of Public Works crews and town Highway Department for the project.
The only thing I had a doubt on was is there a way the total dollar amount of the project could be trimmed? Ms. Wilson said. Im just not sure what the total dollar figure to fix it is. Thats my concern.
Mr. Carvel, who was previously a foreman for the DPW, said he is against the plan because he also believes the project could be done for much less than $245,000 if DPW did all the work in-house rather than hiring a contractor. He pointed out that town officials have offered the village use of the towns Highway Department to help reduce costs, and that in-house work utilizes employees they are already paying.
Were putting in a few thousand feet of pipe - its not a big job. And to take this thing and burden the taxpayers any more than absolutely necessary is not the right way to handle government business, Mr. Carvel said. Were here to use the taxpayers money to the best of our ability, and not doing (the work in-house) is a sham. Its a disgrace to the people.
The DPW could handle the project, Superintendent Hassan A. Fayad said, but that would delay the departments work on other projects. He estimated the project would take about a month to complete. The $245,000 estimate is based on the cost of bidding the work to a contractor.
If we do that work in-house something else will be impacted - we wont be able to do everything thats on our place for this year, Mr. Fayad said.
Ms. Wilson said she was in favor of 99 percent of the proposal prepared by Trustee Timothy J. Ahlfeld and Mr. Fayad, including the resolutions controversial plan to charge higher water rates on the town residents who utilize the Highland Road system than on village residents who do not.
I agree with the split, 85-15. I think thats fair, Ms. Wilson said. I think with the way the pilot was designed, (the pay scale) was well thought out.
Under the proposed plan, all village homeowners would have been billed $8.05 per year for five years, while the homeowners who use that system would have been billed $56.69 per year for five years for the replacement of the pipes. There also would have been a permanent maintenance fee, which would have cost village residents $3.76 per year and residents in the Highland Road area $26.49 per year.
Mr. Ahlfeld and Mr. Fayad had prepared a zero-to-100 percent chart for the villages contribution to the repairs. At 100 percent village cost, the homeowners near Highland Road would be charged the same amount as homeowners in the village. At zero percent, the costs fell entirely on those homeowners near Highland Road.
In December, trustees considered a plan that would have put the full costs of replacing and relooping the system, $475,000, on the ratepayers near Highland, totaling $5,000 over 10 years.
Ratepayers along that pipe on Old Orchard and Leslie roads are charged a monthly village water bill, but their homes lie nearly a mile outside the village limits. A half-century-old agreement extended the village water system to that section of the town.
Mr. Carvel and Mr. Deshaies have both expressed dissatisfaction with the amount the plan charged the homeowners near Highland Road.
The village took over ownership of those lines. The village has responsibility to fund maintenance, Mr. Carvel said.
Elizabeth Kaneb, administrator of the Highland Nursing Home, urged the board to hold off on the proposal and consider a plan that is equitable in the rates it charges to village ratepayers and the town ratepayers who utilize the system.
The village owns the system, and they shouldnt come to us now and ask for a maintenance fee, Ms. Kaneb said. If theyre gong to charge a new maintenance fee, they have to decrease our water rates.
Ms. Kaneb claims ratepayers near Highland Road are billed higher water rates than village residents and believes she should only be billed a new maintenance fee if it costs the village more to deliver water to that part of the district.
Ms. Kaneb, who utilizes the pipes near Highland Road at her home, claimed her water rates are $11 higher per month than what village residents have to pay. However, according to Mr. Fayads figures, the difference for residential property owners is only 20 cents per 1,000 gallons of water. Residential property owners near Highland Road are billed $3.55 for every 1,000 gallons of water used, while those who live inside the village are billed $3.35 per 1,000 gallons.
Residents near the pipes dead end began experiencing rusty water a couple of years ago. The water still was drinkable but looked bad and was problematic for laundry. In the meantime, the DPW has allowed the end of the pipe to leak to prevent the homeowners from receiving rusty water. Mr. Fayad has estimated the pipe could be losing more than 200,000 gallons of water per month.
Mayor James F. Hidy and Mr. Ahlfeld, who voted for the resolution, expressed dissatisfaction that the long-delayed, much-debated project would go back to the drawing board, while water continues to run off the pipe.
Obviously we cant have water running out of the line from now until doomsday, Mr. Hidy said.
Mr. Hidy also expressed concern about the involvement of the New York state Department of Health, whom has told village officials they have to address the water-quality issues near Highland Road. He doesnt want the village to be in a position where the DOH has to intervene because a plan to fund the maintenance work couldnt be approved in an adequate amount of time.
However, Mr. Fayad sees the possibility of DOH intervention as unlikely. They dont like to flex their muscles. They will work with us to help us take care of the issue, he said.
Mr. Fayad said he plans to draw up a new proposal that reflects the concerns of trustees who voted against the resolution and residents who criticized it at the public hearing. He couldnt provide estimates for the work if it were done in-house as opposed to contracted, but said the DPW does not have any budgeted funds for the work.
Any new resolution that includes creating additional water rates will have to be voted on twice by the village board: first to establish a public hearing, and then to decide whether adopt the local law after the hearing has been held.

ECHA adds substances to registry of intentions under Reach
February 13, 2014 | Michael Ravenscroft
Five new intentions and two new submissions for harmonized classification and labeling have been added to the Registry of Intentions, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA; Helsinki) says. The registry has also been updated with two withdrawn proposals, ECHA says. The aim of the public registry is to allow interested parties to be aware of substances for which the authorities intend to submit dossiers under the European Union's Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (Reach) regulations, thereby facilitating the provision of...

Oof-da. This turned into a bit of a novel. Any help would be most appreciated....Short version: I want a roomy two-person tent that can handle life above tree line in the Wind Rivers. I also want this for about 4 pounds or less. Finally, for frame of reference I want something more stout in the wind and rain than a TT Double Rainbow or Big Sky Evolution. I'm looking for more info on the Scarp 2, Hilleberg Anjan 3 and any other reasonable alternative that could hope to handle 40 mph winds while providing a good bit of room at 4-4.5 pounds. Long Version:When I'm on my own I tend to go ultralight (unless I'm somewhere very wet or cold), but most of the time my wife is with me and we prefer more of a lightweight style: canister stove, lightly framed packs, tarptent or light double walled tent, light inflatable sleeping pads, base weights around 11-15 pounds etc. Over the past five years we've spent time in Glacier, the high sierra, the SHT in Minnesota, the Pasayten and most recently the Wind Rivers with some paddling and winter trips mixed in. We really like the Winds, and plan on going back frequently. Together we've put about 60 nights in a double rainbow and most recently have moved to a big sky Evolution 2P (3 pounds or so). These are both great for their intended purposes. She doesn't like 'mids or tarps. During our most recent trip to the Wind Rivers in late August we set up above tree line one evening when the weather was quite calm. Later that evening the wind picked up a bit and I'd estimate we had frequent gusts to about 25-30 mph. With four guy-lines (in addition to six perimeter stakes) the evolution handled this fine aside from some noisy flapping, but obviously conditions get much worse and I certainly don't think this tent could handle blowing rain or 40+ mph winds. We really like camping in he high country so a more robust shelter would be worth an extra pound or two to us. Interpretation: Looking to buy a tough new tent.As a starting point, I'm looking for something that can handle more of a storm than the double rainbow or our 3 pound Evolution 2P. Based on my preliminary research, here are a few tents I've come across:1. Tarptent Scarp 2. I have a Scarp 1 and love it for rough whether. I took it to Scotland last year and it kept me warm and dry in wicked conditions, even without the crossing poles. I've read mixed reports on the Scarp 2, though. Specifically, some seem to indicate it doesn't handle wind as well as they'd like, and if you get the solid inner and crossing poles you are nearing five pounds but still possibly not extremely wind-worthy. If the Scarp 2 can consistently handle 40-50 mph winds I'm interested. If not, its off my list. I could be talked into or out of this one. 2. BA Copper spur UL 2 and Seedhouse UL: very light and would be enough room for my wife and I, but would be cramped with one of my buddies. It doesn't sound like these would offer any improvement over my evolution 2 regarding space or storm worthiness. I think they're pretty much out.3. Stephenson's Warmlite. The lack of a vestibule i think is a deal-breaker for me. They also tend to be expensive, and I don't trust the company as much as say, Hilleberg...4. Hilleberg Anjan 3: These have caught my eye, but the price is painfully high. Hilleberg of course has a stellar reputation. I've not seen much around here about the Anjan 3, but it is essentially marketed as a 3+ season version of the Nallo 3. Looks like it would weigh about 4 pounds in my pack, offer plenty of room and much better wind/weather resistance than any other 4 pounds three-season tents I'm aware of. From the limited reviews I've found, people find fault in the fly sheet (doesn't go all the way to the ground), in the the lack of a peak vent, and of course the $590 price tag. Otherwise I can't find much based on real-life experience. On paper it seems to check all of my boxes, but the price gives me pause and means I'd be saving for a bit to purchase it, and probably waiting for a sale (rare). If someone could suggest a 4-pound alternative that offers similar performance in wind and wet weather I wouldn't even have to consider saving up to buy such an expensive tent. The Anjan 2 I think would be a bit too small/short (presumably the same specs as the Nallo 2.Any insights would be most welcome.Matt

I might stay away from the Anjan. Something seems to have been lost in translation from the 4 season Nallo.http://www.trailspace.com/gear/hilleberg/anjan-2/
If you feel that the Anjan 2 is too short (and I concur due to the slope at the foot), be aware that the Anjan 3 is the same length, just wider.
Roger, when do you expect your tent to hit the market? I suspect that your design may be just what the OP is looking for! To the OP: I've used both the Gossamer Gear Squall Classic (now discontinued) and Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo (pyramid shape but with floor) quite successfully in high winds in the Winds (not a pun, just making it obvious how the river and the mountain range got their name). Of course the first is probably a little too cozy for most couples (although perfect for me and my 70-lb. dog) in addition to no longer existing. The second is a solo tent (too small for both me and my dog). It's really too bad that both the Squall Classic (much more streamlined than Tarptent's Squall 2) and the Tarptent Cloudburst (also quite streamlined, but roomier) have been discontinued. Both are sort of tunnel-shaped, and, with the "optional" side guylines well anchored, do fine. Unless you're going to be camping on top of ridges above timberline, which you probably won't be unless you're mountaineering, you don't really need a mountaineering tent, but you do need one that handles winds well and will hold several inches of snow. What about a 'mid with inner tent? Have you looked at the combinations from Mountain Laurel Designs? The result is basically a full double-wall tent. I too love the Wind Rivers and can't wait to go back! If it weren't for the Wyoming winters, I'd be living close by right now!

Matt,You are right about the Warmlite being expensive, but it is darn near bombproof. If you wish you could use ours to test it out. We live just south of Mpls (Lake City)and I'm sure we could get it up to you. PM me. Dave
Matt- I used my Anjan 2 for 5 days or so right at tree line in the Winds last September. We got pounded by wind and rain for two days, and it held up fine. Everything inside the inner tent stayed dry. Gear on the perimeter of the vestibule got a little wet from blowing rain. You could actually reduce that by adjusting the outer on the wind-ward side. Another one of my buddies, a professional fly fishing guide, was with me and had one as well. He had no complaints about wetness.Understand that Hilleberg sacrificed features in order to cut weight. I am 6'1" and actually slept in the Anjan with my head to the rear of the tent. And I used an Exped 7UL-LW pad. I also believe that with this tent, a little more care needs to be used with site selection and tent set up than their four season models.I am thinking about selling mine, as I use PackGoats, not that concerned about weight, and may use a Nammatj and see how I like that.If I need to go UL, I own an Integral Designs wedge w/ vestibule for the Winds.This is my personal shelter, PM me if you are interested. It is an Anjan 2, not a 3.As far as the windy conditions and how the Anjan held up, we both were quite impressed with how well it performed when the bursts of wind that came through at all hours of the night. I felt totally safe in it. I just personally prefer the four season models with the vestibule that goes all the way to the ground, but they are indeed heavier. I do like the ventilation in the Anjan.DISCLAIMER: I am an Authorized Retailer for Hilleberg.

BPL member Mike Reid was selling a Stephenson's 2R. If you're interested in one you could get it cheaper than buying a new one.http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=68498
No suggestions, but merely a confirmation regarding your perception of the BA Copper Spur UL2. I have one and use it for both my solo and on treks with either my wife or 12 year-old son. It's "snug" for two and would be downright tight for two adult men.
I have one and use it all the time. Taken it to Ansel Adams Wilderness with my dad and it was just fine for the two of us. Then taken it this summer on trips with my wife and 1yo son - again, wasn't too spacious, but enough for the 3 of us. This could be a very good option for you:Stoic Arx 2 3 season4lb 3oz with stuff sacks and extrasDouble wall2 doors2 vestibules big enough to store gearlifetime warrantyBackcountry.com return policy!http://www.backcountry.com/stoic-arx-sl2-tent-3-seasonThey used to come up on SAC, but haven't seen them lately.
Edited by Yazon on 12/03/2012 11:13:54 MST.
Not UL, but at 4 lbs the MSR Hubba Hubba is a classic for a 3+ season tent. Durable and well-engineered: compare the pole design on the MSR to that of the Stoic above - I'm pretty sure the MSR design gives you more headroom and better wind resistance. My partner and I are having a hard time justifying upgrading 'cause it's such a do-it-all shelter. Also, doesn't Big Sky make some 4-season/mountaineering models?
Kate, I actually have MSR Hubba (1p not 2p). So while the two are not equal, i can tell you that MSRs design seems to have less headroom when comppared to Stoic. This is due to the fact that Stoic has poles that are bent in order to provide more vertical shape at the head.I love MSR, but at the same spec - it is more expensive.
The Copper Spur gets my vote.
MattWow – you guys are awesome. Thanks for all the replies. It still doesn't sound like anyone can definitively say what I'm looking for is out there. Are there any more opinions regarding the Scarp 2 (with or without crossing poles)? It also sounds like a bit more research into Stephenson's Warmlite tents might be in order. The 2R with window option seems most appealing. Finally, people seem to be suggesting more traditional 2 person tents (Hubba Hubba, Copper Spur etc). Who's used these sorts of tents above tree line with good results? A few responses:David Ure: thanks for taking time to post the link of the Anjan 3 review. I had seen that one already, but didn't want to jump to too many conclusions based on an n of 1. I'm still holding out hope that someone on BPL has logged some quality time with an Anjan 3. Again, I'm not looking for something hurricane-proof, just significantly better than other very light 3 season tents. Paul – I did see that the Anjan 3 is similar in length to the 2, but I'm thinking the extra width of the 3 should make it feel a few inches longer when used as a 2-person tent. Could be wrong. Mary – the various 'mid combos from MLD are quite nice, but I think we'll probably stick with a traditional tent just based on personal preferences. Also, by the time we'd add up a center pole, large mid and a spacious-enough inner I think we would probably be spending some serious cash. The versatility is appealing though.David Noll – Unbelievable offer. I'll be in touch. Charles – glad to hear the Anjan 2 handled some weather for you. I'm in the market for a slightly roomier tent, but appreciate the offer.Erik, Michael, Yuri and Kate: any thoughts on your tents (copper spur, HH, Stoic) in 40 mph wind or otherwise wet/windy conditions? I would consider one of these for my wife and I if it could handle strong winds and rain. Doug – thanks for the FYI about Mike's tent – I'm going to look into Warmlites a bit more and see what I can find-Matt
I have firsthand experience of the Copper Spur 3 above treeline in the Rockies during shoulder season. It wasn't pretty. Despite being properly pitched with all guylines tied down, strong winds gusting from multiple directions at 40+mph caused the tent to act like a lung all night long.Have you considered the TarpTent StratoSpire 2? It has gobs of space inside - far more generous than the Scarp 2, for example, it's more like a 2.5P tent with two large vestibules for ~2.5lb - and yet its geometry makes for very effective wind-shedding. With the semi-solid inner, you'd be protected from wind and dust. I'd caution you against using it if you expect more than a few inches of snow during shoulder seasons. However, given your description I think you're more likely to need wind vs snow handling abilities.On a windy trip above treeline last June (measured constant 30mph, gusting to 45mph) I was so impressed with a friend's StratoSpire 1 that I sold my MLD SoloMid and DuoMid, and replaced them with StratoSpire 1 and 2 for 3 season use. Sure, there's a weight premium over the MLD mids alone, but when I factored in the extra weight of a mid innernet, and assessed the extra comfort of the SS two pole setup, I knew which option worked best for me.Edited to add windspeed context.

Well, I haven't had a chance to test Stoic or MSR in those conditions, so can't say how well it would do. We've slept through 15-20F range and had it in 85-90F heat...In low temps there was very little condensation if any. In heat - we had to keep fly for shade and open both doors for some air circulation.
I've had the Copper Spur UL2 in extended rain, but not in wind over 20mph. In 20mph with some gusting and the tent guyed-out, the Copper Spur was fine. It hunkered down and was stable, but I could see some stretch in the fly material and expect it will deform much more as wind speed goes up. (Hey, it's no Bibler, but it's light.)In terms of extended rain, the tent did well, but the fly did wet-through after 6+ hours of rain (14+ one day). It didn't drip on me, but the entire fly was quite wet. Crawling in and out of the tent, we were sure glad for the twin doors, but I wished that the tent were either a foot taller or that I were several gut sizes less... a grown man crawling in mud, just not right.The thing is, unless you're little pixies, the CS UL2 is fairly narrow for two adults. You'll fit, but it's not "spacious".Now, for one: spacious at 9800' in 6 hours of rain and light hail.
I consider mostly all of these tents people are talking about PURE LUXURIES.Seriously, it depends what your goals are, and how light you want to go.
I've used the 3 above treeline quite a lot, firstly on the JMT where it seems the wind never blows (?) - it was great for the Sierras as being (more or less) a self-supporter it went up easily on rocky areas away from established camps (my preference).Also used it in Scotland (pretty much stripped of trees). It is a bit breezy inside (slightly high cut fly), but I though it handled wind OK (guys deployed). The squeaking of the fly over the poles was a tad annoying at times.The 3 is a barn for two people at just shy of 2kgs. We got all of our kit in easily, and us - me at 5' 7" and my 6' 2" girlfiend. The doors are cut a bit low for really easy use for the lanky. That's not a typo BTW ;-)
Light weight three pole geodesic here - http://www.terranovatents.co.nz/terra-nova-tents/voyager-series/293-voyager-superlite.I would probably get a Scarp. They are pretty well proven in the UK, where strong winds are common.
I have a CS1, used primarily on the east coast of Canada. It's seen 3 day storms with sustained winds of 80k (50mph) with gusts even higher. Pitched end to wind, it's a rock. Shifting wind direction caused a little bending and billowing, but no trouble, all stakes held, no flapping. The wall fabric is just high enough that even in those conditions there was no wind inside the tent. Nor moisture, even when that same wind was full of mist and drizzle.It has also seen upwards of 75mm (3in) of wind-driven rain per day for 4 straight days when pitched as a base camp, with no leaking or 'misting'. That tent LIKES storms.

Phil Spector
Gabriel Bouys/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images
Phil Spector is a record producer whose early-1960's songs created a style dubbed the "wall of sound" that blended multilayered orchestral arrangements with guitars and drums. He was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989. In 2004, he was charged with murder in the 2003 death of Lana Clarkson, an actress who had been found dead in Mr. Spector's home of what he said was a self-inflicted gunshot wound. A trial that began in 2006 ended in a mistrial; a second trial in the case began in October 2008.
On April 13, 2009, he was found guilty of second-degree murder. He was sentenced to 19 years to life in prison on May 29, 2009.
A multimillionaire in his early 20's, Mr. Spector produced records for Elvis Presley, Ike and Tina Turner, Connie Francis and Darlene Love. From 1962 to 1965, his "wall of sound" produced two dozen hits including ''Da Doo Ron Ron'' by the Crystals, ''Walking in the Rain'' by the Ronettes and ''You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' '' by the Righteous Brothers.
Later, he produced parts of the last Beatles album, ''Let It Be,'' and worked with John Lennon on ''Imagine.'' His last major album was ''End of the Century,'' a 1980 collaboration with the Ramones.
Mr. Spector has been embroiled in several lawsuits concerning royalties he may have owed to artists who performed some of his biggest hits. Among those suing Mr. Spector over royalties is his second wife, Ronnie Spector, now known as Ronnie Greenfield, the lead singer of the Ronettes, whom he divorced in 1974.
Mr. Spector is renowned for reclusive and erratic behavior, including flamboyant, sometimes drunken displays and a longtime fascination with firearms. In recent years, he has insisted that those days are behind him.
Stories of high living and gun-waving swirled around Mr. Spector in the 1970's. He traveled with a retinue of bodyguards and sometimes became aggressive with friends and strangers. There were whispers that he was abusive to those around him.
In September 2004, Mr. Spector was charged with the murder of Ms. Clarkson. She was found dead in his Alhambra home in February 2003 slumped in a chair in the foyer with a gunshot wound to the mouth. Prosecutors say he killed her when she rejected his overtures; Mr. Spector's lawyers have argued that forensic evidence suggests the wound was self-inflicted.
Mr. Spector's first trial appeared headed for the annals of big celebrity trials in Los Angeles, with dozens of reporters, many from overseas, attending. But interest faded as the proceedings wore on for five months and ended in a jury split 10 to 2 in favor of conviction.
The retrial began in October 2008. It was delayed as Mr. Spector brought in a new legal team and they and prosecutors engaged in haggling over evidence.

text: Boots are a pretty easy choice for me, as my feet seem to eat them as fast as I can buy them. The Atlantic Medium Sole boots are exactly what I look for. A great price to go with a nice medium sole that protects my feet while walking across the beach and rocks doing my entry or exit. Toe and heel caps to keep me from wearing it out with my fins foot pocket or strap. And of course a durable zipper to keep me from tearing it apart pulling the tab up with a bit of sand or dirt in it. A lot of good thought seems to have gone into a very reasonably priced boot. Comfort, durability and price. What more can you ask for?

Sara says...
Homemade chutney makes a lovely gift for a friend, but for me it is also an essential part of Boxing Day to serve with cold turkey and ham. Whenever I see mangoes being sold off cheaply, I snap them up to make into chutney, and I think this is my very best version yet. Cooking apples, like Bramleys, form a lovely pulpy base to the chutney while not overpowering the flavour of the mango. The result is heady with fresh ginger and aromatic spices – delicious.

- Cut each mango in half down the sides of the flat stone that runs through the centre of the fruit, so that you end up with 2 fleshy halves. Now take each mango half and cut into the flesh, making quite chunky diagonal pieces – take care not to cut through the skin. Turn each half inside out, then slice away the chunks of mango that stand proud from the skin. Cut the flesh from around the stones, trim off the skin and chop the flesh.
- Heat the oil in a large, deep sauté pan, add the onion and fry for a few mins until starting to soften. Stir in the ginger and cook, stirring frequently, for about 8-10 mins until the onion is golden. Stir in all of the spices, except the turmeric, and fry until toasted.
- Stir in the turmeric, add the apple and pour in 500ml water, then cover the pan and cook for 10 mins. Stir in the mango and chilli, then cover and cook for 20 mins more until the apple is pulpy and the mango is tender.
- Pour in the vinegar, stir in the sugar and salt, then leave to simmer uncovered for 30 mins, stirring frequently (especially towards the end of the cooking time so that it doesn't stick) until the mixture is pulpy rather than watery. Spoon into sterilised jars.

Comments, questions and tips
Like other comments I recommend doubling the final simmer time and increasing the apple content to make a chunkier chutney. A 'large deep saute pan' is frankly inadequate unless your frying pan is monumentally huge. Probably worth breaking out the maslin pan and scaling up the ingredients. I also added about 100g of pitted dates. Initial taste is pretty good but will have to wait a few weeks for final verdict.
Made this recipe this morning after receiving such rave reviews from all who tried it. I also doubled the amount of spices and left to simmer much longer. Be sure to stir -regularly- so as not to 'caramelise' the pan forever! It made quite a few jars - large and small for home and gifts. Kept for nearly a year in the cellar after very carefully sterilising the jars. An absolute favourite. Love love love!
I agree that the liquid quantities aren't correct unless you use I unripe mangoes and apples. You really don't need to cook the apples beforehand. Rather than speed up the process by boiling, which can burn the bottom of the pan, I added more fruit and sugar as I prefer a chunkier chutney. Also I took the cardamon pods out once cooked and discarded the shell. It's still not chunky enough for my liking so I'm glad I have time to make more before Xmas. Tastes delicious though!
Hi, Helen, I have used whole cardamom pods every time, they expand a lot during cooking and I quite like to chew on them.. The seeds remain quite hard, so this way you get all the flavour and can remove them easily after cooking.
To Rosie Thomas: Black onion sed also go under names of Nigella and Kalonji, I usually get them at Waitrose. Hope this helps.

Read: Should Michael Del Zotto Feel Insulted By The Rangers Offer?
Over the weekend it was reported that the Rangers are trying very hard to get Michael Del Zotto under contract but the two sides are not that close on a contract.
The Rangers are reportedly offering Del Zotto a short term deal worth $2.2 to $2.5 million.
On TSN's That's Hockey, the panel wondered if Del Zotto should feel insulted with the Rangers offer.
Mike Johnson said "Del Zotto's camp realize it's a business and see that the Rangers are trying to exert some pressure. They also look at this and thinks that it's par for the course with the Rangers as they did this with Brandon Dubinsky, Ryan Callahan and Artem Anisimov. All of these guys took some time to re-sign coming off of their entry-level deals so you know that going in you can appreciate that it's just part of the deal."
He adds, "Michael Del Zotto, like most players would prefer a long-term deal, but he will have to wait and try to negotiate a better deal. It's hard not to be a little offended when money is being splashed around and it's not coming your way."
Jamie McLennan said, "what do you have to gain. He isn't being offered term or a price point where he feels that he belongs so this is a tough situation. When it comes down to it there is not much working for him in his favor. Del Zotto and his management team is going to have to look at what they have been offered and make some decisions.
Craig Button said, "I think the Rangers are looking at two players in their own group for Michael Del Zotto. First is Marc Staal, he signed a long-term deal just under $4 million but the first year coming out of entry-level was $3.1 million. They have Ryan McDonagh coming up next year so they are trying to fit Michael Del Zotto into their defense salary structure with $2.2 to $2.5. Everyone has made the point that Michael Del Zotto doesn't have a lot of leverage, no arbitration rights, and while Del Zotto does want the money, they are moving closer, internally, towards the numbers that Marc Staal is at.
The belief is that Del Zotto will sign before the CBA expires.

|Perfect: 1st ASU BSN Students Pass State Exam
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 30 August 2012 05:49
One hundred percent of the first graduates from the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree from Appalachian State University passed the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). In addition, 100 percent of these students
who were admitted to the College of Health Sciences Department of Nursing program in 2010 graduated in May and passed the exam on their first attempt. These newly licensed BSN/RNs have all begun their careers in locations including Appalachian Regional Healthcare System, Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, Duke University Medical Center, Catawba Valley Medical Center, Frye Regional Medical Center, Caldwell Memorial Hospital, Mission Health and Carolinas Medical Center. Dr. Linda Johanson, interim chair of the nursing department, said the licensure exam pass rate is an important benchmark for any nursing program. "All nursing programs look at the first-time pass rate as a standard of excellence for their program," she said. "It means that the students who take and pass with a high pass rate are qualified as being competent regarding the content in nursing that is relevant into entry into the practice. It's an excellent statistic to have. We are delighted and proud of our students."

Will the New CBA Help the Knicks Keep Fields?
These are teams that are trying to build contenders. The New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls immediately come to mind, but the Oklahoma City Thunder belong here as well. The new "room" exception will be an invaluable tool for any team that seeks to build a contender based on a "Big 3" model. It's no secret that Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks have targeted Chris Paul with their cap room in July 2012. But clearing the cap space means the Knicks would have to rescind the bird rights of Landry Fields and not pick up the option of Toney Douglas. If they do that, they can realistically clear about $13M to offer to Paul. However, with this new exception, instead of filling out their roster with minimum salary contracts—like the Miami Heat did—they have a good shot of retaining either Fields or Douglas using the room exception.
The room exemption is defined here.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
Carbon County residents got an up close and personal look at candidates vying for office during a "Meet the Candidate Night" event on Monday night.
An overflow crowd packed the room at the Carbon School Board Office leaving many people sitting and standing in the hallway. The event, helped put on by the Carbon County Chamber of Commerce, brought many county residents out to see and hear what the candidates had to say on issues ranging from drug problems in the county, their motivations in running for office, USU-CEU and more.
The event was broken down into three sessions starting with the candidates for Carbon County Sheriff with Democrat James Cordova and Republican Robb Radley. The first main question posed to the two candidates was asking for their opinion on what the biggest problem Carbon County is facing currently. Both Cordova and Radley agreed that the biggest problem in the county is drugs. (See related story, this page.)
"It's (drugs) the number one problem in our area," Cordova said. "This is an issue that affects everyone in Carbon County." Cordova also noted that the jail is filled to capacity with an overflow of inmates, many of whom are in jail due to drug related offenses.
To help combat the issue of drugs in the county, Radley suggested that the community can play a large role in tackling the issue.
"The community needs to be involved and we need to work with the families (of drug users)," Radley said. "Bringing everything together will help the most with this issue."
Another topic that was posed to both Cordova and Radley was their motivation in running for office. Radley said the main reason he is running for office is because of families in the county, including his own. Radley wants to resolve many issues, including the drug problem, to "fix and help the community, accomplishing work as a team," he said.
Cordova, a third generation Carbon County resident, said he always wanted to be in law enforcement since a young age and his motivation to run comes from his goal of striving to make sure the community is safe.
The second session of the event had the candidates running for positions as Carbon County Commissioners. Republican Jae Potter and Democrats John Jones and David Palacios attended the event, answering questions and sharing their viewpoints. Republican Travis Blackburn, who is also running for Carbon County Commission, was not present at the event.
One question posed to the three candidates asked them what does the community need from USU-CEU. Potter said that education is a key in getting people and students to come out to the college and stay after finishing.
"The college has done a wonderful job offering an education to the local community. Education is the key for getting people to stay here after graduating," Potter said.
Jones said he has seen a lot of new energy after the merger with Utah State University. He said he hopes to see an atmosphere where students are able to go to school and find work as well.
"Jobs help build the backbone of our education," Jones said.
Palacios said he agreed with their thoughts and said that "the blue collar work going on around here is very important to the community."
Another question posed to the candidates asked how to better market Carbon County. Palacios said one key would be to create better relations with the state government, getting rid of the "stigma" Carbon County has with the state. Potter said that Carbon County may not be big enough to attract a national image. He said the best way to work on the issue is to not just advertise the area, but market it more effectively. Jones said that a lot of traffic passes through the area but there is not a stable hospitality group around here which can hurt the local restaurants and motels. Jones said that word of mouth is very important in marketing the county.
The final session of the event had Utah State Rep. Christine Watkins, D-69, answer questions. Because she is running unopposed, Watkins spent the majority of her time answering questions posed to her by people in the audience.
One question posed to Watkins asked her opinion on what the number one problem facing the state and Carbon County. Watkins said that the one main issue the state is going to be focusing on will be illegal immigration. "It's going to be a huge issue this year," she said. Watkins is hoping to see a type of work permit program started for those people that are already here.
On the county level, Watkins said that the issue of federal government taking land away is an important topic. Having the land be tied up and taken away is not right, Watkins said, especially since the lands have been taken care of by people for generations.
"They are taking away our livelihood," she said. "We're smart, we can take care of it and we have been doing so for generations."
With the turnout from the community and getting candidates to discuss key issues, the event was a success, according to Ann Evans, coordinator with the Carbon County Chamber of Commerce. Evans said she was surprised and excited to see the turnout for the event.
"It's good to see many people that are interested in the local community," Evans said. "Hopefully this event will help people make an educated decision when they go to vote."
