Neil Armstrong
Bettmann/Corbis, via AP Images
Neil Armstrong, an astronaut and engineer, became a global hero in 1969 when he made the "giant leap for mankind" as the first human to set foot on the Moon. He died on Aug. 25, 2012. He was 82.
Read the full obituary here.
His family said in a statement that the cause was "complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures." He had undergone heart bypass surgery in August in Cincinnati, near where he lived. His recovery had been going well, according to those who spoke with him after the surgery, and his death came as a surprise to many close to him, including his fellow Apollo astronauts. The family did not say where he died.
A quiet, private man, at heart an engineer and crack test pilot, Mr. Armstrong made history on July 20, 1969, as the commander of the Apollo 11 spacecraft on the mission that culminated the Soviet-American space race in the 1960s. On that day, Mr. Armstrong and his co-pilot, Col. Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., known as Buzz, steered their lunar landing craft, Eagle, to a level, rock-strewn plain near the southwestern shore of the Sea of Tranquillity. It was touch and go the last minute or two, with computer alarms sounding and fuel running low. But they made it.
"Houston, Tranquillity Base here," Mr. Armstrong radioed to mission control. "The Eagle has landed."
"Roger, Tranquillity," mission control replied. "We copy you on the ground. You've got a bunch of guys about to turn blue. We're breathing again. Thanks a lot."
The same could have been said for hundreds of millions of people around the world watching on television.
A few hours later, there was Mr. Armstrong bundled in a white spacesuit and helmet on the ladder of the landing craft. Planting his feet on the lunar surface, he said, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." (His words would become the subject of a minor historical debate, as to whether he said "man" or an indistinct "a man.")
Neil Alden Armstrong was born on Aug. 5, 1930, in the small town of Wapakoneta, Ohio, to Stephen Armstrong and the former Viola Louise Engel. His father was a state auditor, which meant the family moved every few years to a new Ohio town while Neil was growing up. At the age of 6, Neil and his father took a ride in a Ford Trimotor airplane, known as the Tin Goose. It must have made an impression, for by the time he was 15, he had learned to fly, even before he got his driver's license.
During the Korean War, Mr. Armstrong was in the unit that the author James A. Michener wrote of in "The Bridges at Toko-Ri." Back at Purdue after the Navy, Mr. Armstrong plunged more earnestly into aeronautical engineering studies, his grades rising and a career in sight.
By this time, he had also met Janet Elizabeth Shearon, a student in home economics from Evanston, Ill. Soon after his graduation, they were married, in January 1956.
They had two sons, Eric and Mark, who survive. A daughter, Karen, died of an inoperable brain tumor in 1962. The couple were divorced in 1994; Janet Armstrong lives in Utah. In 1999, Mr. Armstrong married Carol Knight, a widow 15 years his junior; she also survives. They lived in Indian Hill, a suburb of Cincinnati.
After his first marriage, the newlyweds moved to California, where Mr. Armstrong had been hired as an experimental test pilot for the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics, the forerunner of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, at Edwards Air Force Base. His first flight in a rocket plane was in the Bell X-1B, a successor to the plane Charles E. Yeager had first flown faster than the speed of sound.
Mr. Armstrong impressed his peers. Milt Thompson, one of the test pilots, said he was "the most technically capable of the early X-15 pilots." Another colleague, Bill Dana, said he "had a mind that absorbed things like a sponge and a memory that remembered them like a photograph." He made seven X-15 flights at 4,000 miles per hour, reaching the edge of space, and piloted many more of the most innovative and dangerous aircraft ever developed.
A Career at NASA
In 1958, Mr. Armstrong was chosen as a consultant for a military space plane project, the X-20 Dyna-Soar, and was later named one of the pilots. But the young test pilot was attracted by another opportunity. NASA was receiving applications for the second group of astronauts, after the Mercury Seven. His reputation after seven years at the NASA flight center at Edwards had preceded him, and so he was tapped for the astronaut corps.
At Houston, the new astronaut began training for flights in the two-person Gemini spacecraft, the successor to the smaller Mercury capsules and forerunner to the three-person Apollos. Mr. Armstrong became the first American civilian astronaut to fly in space, as commander of Gemini 8. He and his co-pilot, David R. Scott, were launched on March 16, 1966. They performed the first successful docking of two vehicles in space, their Gemini linking with an unmanned Agena in an essential test for later operations on lunar flights.
Next, Mr. Armstrong was the backup commander for Apollo 8, the first flight to circumnavigate the Moon, doing so at Christmastime in 1968. It was the mission that put Apollo back on track after a cockpit fire during a launching pad rehearsal had killed three astronauts in January 1967. And it put Mr. Armstrong in position to command Apollo 11.
If everything went well with the lunar module test on Apollo 9 and with a shakedown flight to lunar orbit on Apollo 10, then Mr. Armstrong was in line to land on the Moon with Buzz Aldrin and with Michael Collins as the command module pilot. As the commander, NASA officials decided, Mr. Armstrong would be the first to walk on the Moon.
After leaving the space program, Mr. Armstrong was careful to do nothing to tarnish that image or achievement. Though he traveled and gave speeches — as he did in October 2007, when he dedicated the new Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering at Purdue — he rarely gave interviews and avoided the spotlight.
For a time, he was an associate NASA administrator for aeronautics, but he tired of a Washington desk job. Ignoring many high-level offers in business and academia, he returned to Ohio as a professor of aeronautical engineering at the University of Cincinnati and bought a farm near Lebanon, Ohio. He also served as a director for several corporations.

I've read quite a bit, but for some reason am having trouble figuring out where my "document root" is located.
I looked in the file "httpd.conf" and it tells me that the server root is located at "C:/xampp/apache"
So I created a folder and simple PHP file in that folder. The folder is located at file:///C:/xampp/apache/php_practice/hello.php which I browse to from within my browser. The HTML reads OK, but there's no PHP text showing.
I have the xampp control panel open and it looks like Apache is running, MySql is also running. Am I not looking/working in the right folder?

NEW GLOUCESTER, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Motorists who have driven through the New Gloucester toll plaza in recent months have more than likely seen a large construction project cutting through the heart of the highway.
The work looks complete, with tall concrete barriers separating the new travel lanes from the rest of the toll plaza, but before it becomes the first open road toll plaza in Maine, engineers must fine tune the technology that will make it work.
"We are testing right now," explained Walter Fagerlund, a senior technical advisor with contractor HNTB. "We are testing to make sure the transponders, the EZ Pass, is read correctly and is assigned to the correct vehicle. We are making sure that if you don't have an EZ Pass and you happen to go through here, that we get a photograph and make sure, just like the EZ Pass lanes that are there today, it will behave in the same way, but it is tuned to handle all speeds of traffic."
Fagerlund says the EZ Pass transponders in cars and trucks transmit information that is gathered by antennas mounted to the metal cribwork now in place over the lanes.
"It recognizes who you are and makes sure you are billed appropriately," he said, explaining that the system needs to reach a high level of accuracy, above 99%, before the lanes are opened to the public.
"We have to make sure these things are right. This is about revenue, it is about safety, it is about making sure that we have all the pieces in place to make sure we are providing the customer with the best product possible," said Fagerlund.
While the new technology will enhance safety for drivers, by separating drivers who are stopping to pay with cash from others with EZ Passes who now have to slow down to get hrough the tolls, it will be new to many drivers who haven't been exposed to the toll plazas which are used in many other states.
To make sure drivers are up to speed, the Maine Turnpike Authority will be rolling out an educational campaign and adding signage at the toll plaza to help keep drivers from becoming confused.
"It is going to improve traffic capacity, operations and safety at the toll plaza," said MTA spokesperson, Dan Morin. He says the main thing people need to know about the new toll plaza, is that if they are in the highway speed lanes, that they do not stop, ever, even if they enter them by mistake.
"Those people need to continue going with the flow," explained Morin. "They will be sent a bill in the mail. It is important, it is imperative, that they do not stop, do not pull over, and do not try to seek assistance from the toll takers in the cash lanes."
Morin says drivers who do not have an EZ Pass will have a picture taken of the license plate and will receive a bill for the toll owed in the mail.
He says motorists that do not have an EZ Pass and use the lanes more than a couple times will not only have to pay the toll, but they will also be assessed an administrative fee.
He says they expect to open the new highway speed toll lanes to the public on April 1st.
Once those lanes are open, he says they will begin focusing on replacement of the toll plazas and adding more highway speed lanes at the toll plazas on the northern end of the turnpike.

In honor of the Chinese, Year of the Goat. The Jordan Brand once again nods to the GOAT (the greatest of all time), with the next installment of the Air Jordan series, the Jordan XX9 ($224.99). The lightest Jordan edition yet, the XX9 features a one-piece performance-woven upper designed to bend and move naturally with your foot. It also serves as a virtually blank canvas that allows you to rock a number of color blocks and designs, including the renowned elephant print made famous by the Air Jordan III. A redesigned Flight Plate midsole enhances energy return for a smoother ride; one of the aspects that makes the XX9 a performance-driven shoe that plays as well on court as it looks off it.
What lit a firestorm on the courts in 1985 spread to the hallways and streets with the AJ1 Mid ($109.99). This version of the original Air Jordan features modern materials, including full-grain and nubuck leather on the upper, along with a perforated toe box for durability and ventilation. The ?ir Jordan Wings logo adorns the ankle collar.
Jordan refreshed the Flight Origin, its ode to 1990s basketball heritage that launched in July 2013, with the Flight Origin 2 ($114.99). The 2 features color blocking on the heel counter that fades to an end along the midsole. And a leather-and-nubuck upper offers durability and support with a premium appearance. Webbed loops integrate with the laces to help lockdown of the foot, and an injected Phylon lightweight-foam midsole includes a visible Air-Sole unit for that Nike Air look.

|One action frequently resulting in damage to involves 'chalking' the panels.
The method involves adding non-existant items to the ancient drawing or outlining the faint original markings with chalk.
An example recently occurred when an unidentified individuals attempted to outline and complete one of the drawings at Rasmussen Cave.
According to the established rock art ethics, Carbon County residents should not:
Touch the pictographs or petroglyphs with their bare hands. The paint could rub off and the natural oil in a person's fingers could pemanently damage the site.
Remove loose rocks containing ancient paintings from the sites. Authorities should be notified because many museums preserve rock art.
Attempt to repaint the rock art if a site appears to be losing color. Many pictographs fade due to age and weathering. In addition, restoration requires the attention of trained professionals.
Write, paint or scratch initials, names or graffiti on rock art.
Avoid touching the panels while taking photos and drawing sketches.
The road from Carbon to Duchesne County often dominates the conversation when officials discuss Nine Mile Canyon. from Carbon to Duchesne County. Proposed changes, right of way issues and the dust emanating from the dirt byway are always of concern.
On Aug. 5, the Nine Mile Canyon Advisory Board met and one of the main topics of discussion was a change being considered near where Nine Mile and Dry Canyon roads join.
The project would realign the road to move it away from the Rasmussen Cave area and eliminate some other problems on the road.
The right of way for the road is retained by the county, but the land around the byway is owned by Bill Barrett Corporation, a company exploring and developing gas resources in the area. A proposed project would require joint cooperation between the two.
"I know that Barrett is interested in doing this project," said company representative Don Hamilton. "But we need to wait until the new budget year to get started on it."
The project would begin near the first of the year, added Hamilton.
The realignment of a road in the canyon is not without recent precedent. In summer 2004, BBC moved a section of road up Cottonwood Canyon away from the Great Hunt petroglyph panel, which many people felt was being damaged by the dust created by passing vehicles.
The realignment also created a walkway for people to view the panel without having to stand in the middle of what has become a busy road.
One complex issue involved with realignments involving private property and county rights of way or roads is the projects must be completed in a legal manner. Money is also an important factor.
"The new road alignment that has been discussed looks very expensive," commented Rex Sacco, lands and access coordinator for Carbon County. "There may be some way to do it at a lower cost."
The county recently did some geographical positioning system work in the area to determine exactly where the roads that exist lie in terms of the property in the area where the road changes could take place.
Hamilton suggested that BBC would like to avoid a stream crossing in the area and was thinking of using an existing path where a pipeline is located.
"However, I do know that the company wants to finish the Cottonwood Panel (Great Hunt) road realignment completely first," noted Hamilton.
Floyd Johnson of the United States Bureau of Land Management suggested that the planning process for the proposed changes around the Rasmussen Cave should beginimmediately so the project will be ready to go next year.
"There's a lot that can be done between now and December," said Johnson. "But I know the county has to tie in the easement with the Rasmussen Cave route so it can legally expend dollars to help on the project."
That discussion led to talk about projects in the canyon and how the improvements could be expedited.
"It has taken a lot of time to get the environmental assessments done on the signage we are ready to put in," said Pam Miller of the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum. "There have been a lot of challenges. We must continue to work closely with the BLM on these kinds of projects."
Johnson explained that the BLM is trying to get some of the projects cleared for approval all at once so, once the money is available, groups can go ahead with the plans.
Patrick Gubbins of the BLM explained that federal officials have been working to get a lot of approvals completed in time for Public Lands Day. The agency hopes to celebrate the event in the canyon on Sept. 18.
"The situation is such that we have to balance our decisions between many different factors," he said. "For instance we want to try and get the work done on the Daddy Canyon trail this year, but there is a lot more work to do."
Miller also brought up the fact that the public needs to be educated on rock art ethics.
"Recently, there was wonderful section in the Ogden Standard Examiner about Nine Mile Canyon," she said. "But I was concerned about one of the photos that showed a little boy with his hand on some rock art. People need to learn not to touch the art. I think we need to come up with ways to educate the public that they shouldn't do this type of thing."
The committee looked at the section of the paper provided by Miller and discussed ways the members could let the public know what is proper and what isn't.
The group also reviewed what has been happening at the Great Hunt panel and expressed hope that the site could be ready for a dedication on Public Lands Day. With the road nearly done and the landscape architect's plan in place, it is going to take professional work on the viewing area by a rock mason and volunteer help to finish the area.
Carbon Commissioner Steve Burge noted that Barbara Paul from the Denver office of the National Trust for Historic Preservation in Colorado will be in the county on Aug. 19. The NTHP put Nine Mile Canyon on its list of the 11 most endangered historic sites in America. The move garnered significant national press attention.
Burge indicated that Paul would like to meet with the advisory board and the members agreed to do so.

(2) Selection criteria
The Secretary shall establish criteria for the award of grants under this section and shall include among the factors—
(A) the relationship of the grant to the public housing agency plan for the applicant and how the grant will result in a revitalized site that will enhance the neighborhood in which the project is located and enhance economic opportunities for residents;

(F) the supply of other housing available and affordable to families receiving tenant-based assistance under section 1437f of this title;
(I) the extent to which the plan minimizes permanent displacement of current residents of the public housing site who wish to remain in or return to the revitalized community and provides for community and supportive services to residents prior to any relocation;

(i) Withdrawal of funding
If a grantee under this section does not proceed within a reasonable timeframe, in the determination of the Secretary, the Secretary shall withdraw any grant amounts under this section that have not been obligated by the public housing agency.

SYRACUSE Jerome Smith said he believed Drew Allen could be a starting quarterback when he first arrived on the Syracuse University campus and took him and Ashton Broyld to dinner at Johnny Rockets.
According to Smith, when the check came, Allen grabbed it and looked at his two running backs and said, I got you, Im the quarterback.
The rest of the world found out last Saturday when first-year Syracuse University coach Scott Shafer revealed Allen as the starter over sophomore Terrel Hunt, ending a position battle that dominated SU headlines throughout the offseason and training camp.
After a 23-17 season-opening loss to Penn State, Shafer and the coaching staff supported Allen as the starter.
When SU players met with the media this week, elected offensive captains Macky MacPherson and Smith echoed their coaches and said that Allen has their full support moving forward as well.
SU plays at AP-ranked No. 19 Northwestern at 6 p.m. Saturday, The Wildcats opened their season last week with a 44-30 win at California.
Were all in with him, said Smith, the junior running back who ran for 75 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries on Saturday.
We said that all summer, whoevers the starting quarterback, were going to be all in with him. They had our full respect, Smith added.
Drew came (early) in the summertime so it wasnt a sense of gaining respect. He was here, he ran with us this summer and did some of the tough things we did and he ran hard. Guys were on him. The defense was really after him and made it be known theyd be after him. The way he handled things, hes a tough dude.
MacPherson, the senior center, said that he was impressed by Allens poise in his first collegiate start.
Allen, a 6-foot-5 strong-armed passer, redshirted at the University of Oklahoma in 2009 and spent the next three seasons as the backup to Landry Jones before announcing his intent to transfer to SU this spring.
I think for all the pressure, Drew handled it pretty well, said MacPherson, who is a roommate of Allens.
It was a nice experience to see Drew finally have his dream come true and become a starting quarterback.
MacPherson also discussed the training camp battle between Allen and Hunt from his perspective waiting to see who he would be snapping the ball to in his third and final season as the starter.
It was a real tough situation for me and I couldnt pick a favorite, he said. The other thing was, I was happy with whoever they chose because I knew every single one of those guys was hard-working. They were going to work their butts off and be the best quarterback they can be.
MacPherson also addressed Hunts status as the backup.
Hes a really tough kid. I know a lot of people who would break in the situation like he was in, worked his butt of all spring and hes still working his butt off, and Im proud of him for it. I know hes going to get his chance someday.
But for now, the job is Allens. And so are the dinner tabs. Smith said that Allen treated the offensive line to a meal at Tullys days before the season opener.
He was the leader. He was definitely the sheriff out there, Smith said when assessing Allens first start. He made his calls and we ran with him.
SU sophomore defensive end Robert Welsh was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Defensive Lineman of the Week on Tuesday.
In his first career start, Welsh recorded six tackles, a sack for a loss of four yards, and an interception that he returned 31 yards to set up a one-yard touchdown run by Smith, cutting SUs deficit to 23-17 with less than seven minutes to play.
Syracuse is one of three teams in the nation opening the season with two straight games against Big Ten opponents.
Cincinnati (Purdue, Illinois) and Indiana State (Indiana, Purdue) are the others.
SU is the only team opening up with two Big Ten opponents that garnered votes in this weeks AP Top 25 poll.
According to a December 2011 TVWeek and NewsPro survey, SUs S.I. Newhouse School of Journalism and Northwesterns Medill School of Journalism ranked No. 1 and 2, respectively, for journalism schools in the U.S.
SUs notable alums include Bob Costas, Mike Tirico, Ian Eagle and Marv Albert, while Medill produced Mike Greenberg, Michael Wilbon and Brent Musberger.

World Goodwill
World Goodwill is working to establish right human relations through the use of the power of goodwill
The most contagious human quality which can be organised and made effective is goodwill. It has been defined as "Love in Action". People of goodwill are potentially the richest asset in any nation, and can have tremendous influence on public opinion when properly associated and focussed. To bring in the new day, we do not need a further appraisal of the world condition based on a particular ideology or point of view. Rather, we need a deeper sense of reality based on spiritual values, and a new perception of humanity as a unit of divine life within an ordered and purposive universe.
GOODWILL IS... the touchstone that will transform the world
Learn more about the purposes and objectives of World Goodwill.
In order to place a closer focus on the work of the United Nations, and in particular the post-2015 process which is aiming to replace the Millennium Development Goals, we have set up a new blog, World Goodwill at the UN, which will provide up-to-date reports on relevant UN meetings and processes. Regular updates feature news on what is happening at the UN, focusing especially on the process of defining new Sustainable Development Goals for humanity after 2015 when the Millennium Development Goals expire. A Facebook page provides shorter topical coverage. We invite you to subscribe to the Blog and Like the Facebook page.
Sixteen years ago World Goodwill published a Newsletter By the Grace of Water. The times were urgent then; problems of water scarcity and pollution were bad and getting worse. We reported on the problems, on initiatives to address the problems, and on new understandings of the relationship with fluid, life-giving water. It was a story of impending crisis and also of hope.
So what of our relations with the element Water now? More...
The Child: Awakening the Consciousness of the Soul includes reflections on the innate spirituality of the young, the changing attitudes to children through the ages, right techniques of raising and educating children, and the significance of children for future world transformation. More...
World Goodwill is pleased to announce the updating and re-publication of its booklet, Techniques of Goodwill. Focusing on such timeless principles as Unity, Creativity and Sharing, this booklet presents a series of reflections on how goodwill can be nurtured and practically applied in service in any circumstance.

I have an old pocket rocket that I have been using since it came out. I want a new stove. I have a vargo wood burning stove but cant use it that many places in california I go. i also bought a soto Muka stove and hated that dam thing. Only used it once and took it back. Now i bought a snow peak giga power its a little heavier than the PR but it has a piezo starter and I kind of like that. Not to mention the flame control and spread seems to function better.Did i make a good decision on the snow peak giga or is it just too old now?Should I keep this stove(I havent used it yet)?Are there better lighter stoves with a piezo starter and better simmer control?What would you get right now if you have to buy a new upright canister stove? Im not interested in alchohol or ezbit stoves. Ive used several and prefer the ease of canister stoves.I have no problems with my pocket rocket. I really like that stove, I just think its time for a new UL stove. Plus I need the extra for buddies Im trying to get into backpacking.
The gigapower is the gold standard of uprights for a weekend. There are cheaper, lighter, faster, hotter, sexier, uglier, etc versions available but it does have the best balance and minimum of compromise. I love mine and will probably never replace it unless they can make something similar for 1oz (machined aerogel?). Always reliable, compact, light enough, clean burning and just so damn convenient.You can always take off the piezo lighter if you wanted to save weight down the road.I've tried alcohol and esbit too and they're fun to play with or to have where canisters are hard to come by, but their minimal advantages are minimal and debatable for anything other than weekend trips.I am considering getting a remote canister stove like a Kovea or Fire Maple for the added cold weather versatility but there's a weight and cost penalty for limited use.I was lucky, when I was considering getting a backpacking stove my sister actually got me a piezo gigapower for christmas (uncharacteristic good gift from her and advice from REI staff). I was already leaning towards it at the time but it made my decision easy and I have loved it ever since. I like to constantly swap out gear in an effort to maximize performance but nothing justifies the added cost or fuss factor over my gigapower.
This stove has worked fine for me since I purchased the optional windscreen. I normally use Esbit so it doesn't see a lot of use. I haven't owned or used a Giga anything for comparison.
yeah I am looking at:FMS 300t also just cause its so light, but I imagine the performance would be very similar to my pocket rocket but an ounce lighter. And I dont like ordering things from china if I dont have to.Snowpeak litemax TI- This shows some promise in weight and price is LowJet boil sol TI- I Like the weight and ease of use of this set up. but i like to cook fish and I dont know how easy that would be. Cost is higher. I guess I could get the optional fry pan but that then makes the system heavierFMS gnat- seems like this stove has been around for a bit and is pretty reliable but is slightly heavier than the hornet above.Again I dont really need a new stove Im just ready for a change. Honestly the jet boil seems like a cool deal. I feel like Im at the point where I have gone as light as I Care to go now im just getting heavier. On my last trip(summer) I had such a light pack I barely noticed it was there I dont really see the point of going lighter. Any way if you had to buy a new canister stove right now what would it be and why? no limitations on price or weight.
It's not (at least to my mind) like there's one upright canister gas stove that is so overwhelmingly outstanding that it outshines the rest in all aspects. Rather, I think it's a series of trade offs. I think one has to decide what is important to them and then choose accordingly.-The Snow Peak GigaPower is an excellent stove. It's strengths are compactness, durability, and good pot stability. But it weighs a bit more, especially with the piezo ignition.If you wanted something from the current crop of stoves, here are some thoughts:-The Soto MiroRegulator is an excellent stove if you want light while still having a piezo ignition. It's not as good on compactness or pot stability (not bad, but not as good as the GigaPower in my estimation). Don't expect cold weather performance to be any better than on any other stove.-The Fire Maple Hornet (I've also seen it called the Wasp) is the lightest and is very compact, but I doubt its pot stability is anywhere near that of a Gigapower, and it's loud. There have been some issues reported with the jet getting clogged. I don't know how prevalant those issues are (they may be isolated).-The MSR MicroRocket is a nice stove, far more compact, far more durable, lighter and with better pot stability than the older PocketRocket. If you like the PocketRocket but want some thing lighter and better, then the MicroRocket is a nice one. You could think of it as an improved, lightweight PocketRocket.FWIW, I actually like the Kovea Camp 56 (the "Supalite") which is fairly light, is reasonably compact, and has good pot stability.HJAdventures In Stoving
Just because it may not be the "latest and greatest", the Snow Peak stove (or stoves) don't diminish in utility and value. Those are great stoves and, if you like it, you've got a good one there.Similarly, I am among those who like the Optimus Crux. Mine's heavier than the current latest and greatest, not to mention the Snow Peak, but it cooks great and does what I want it to.
Whoops. You replied while I was composing my reply.I like the Snow Peak LiteMax. It's basically the same stove as the Kovea Supalite. My understanding is that Kovea makes both stoves. The LiteMax is a few grams or so lighter. If I were in the market for a upright canister stove right now, I might get either the LiteMax or the Supalite.I probably wouldn't get the Jetboil Sol Ti for frying. Yes, you could get the fry pan (aluminum only as far as I am aware), but the fry pan has gotten generally poor reviews (I haven't tried one). Also, the valving is a little wonky on the Sol (at least the two I've tried) in the lower range. It works, but just be aware that you have to fiddle with it a bit. I think the advantage of the Sol Ti is lightweight, fast water boiling. If I planned to do a lot of real cooking, I might get something else. If I primarily were going to boil water and only occasionlly planned to do real cooking, then maybe the Sol Ti would be OK. I'd probably just go with the Aluminum version of the Sol in either case. The aluminum version is cheaper, more versatile in terms of what you can cook with it, and only about an ounce heavier at last check*.If I wanted to do a lot of frying, I might get a Kovea Spider or MSR WindPro. They can support a good sized fry pan well. The Optimus Vega might be fine for that too, but I haven't got an experience with the Vega.HJAdventures In Stoving*It looks like Jetboil has done some things to make the current aluminum version heavier, perhaps in an effort to make the Ti version appear lighter.
Jim- thanks for your imput. Any thing to say about the jetboil sol Ti? I agree with you about the differences of the stoves being small. I guess thats why im checking out the jet boil also.
I think I should just keep the new GIGA. Its got all the features I want just a little heavy and as I said before I dont mind adding a pound or 2 to my pack this year. And honestly reliability is my biggest deal. I want it to work and I want it to work consistantly.Thanks for your input guys.
I love my Giga. You won't regret it.
Jetboil Sol Ti weighs about the same as convention upright+pot+windscreenPlus, it requires less fuel to heat up the same amount of waterI think that's probably the lightest over-all system
I believe there was some problems reported with the SolTi. I don't seem to find the links right off...Anyway, some of the heat excahanger fins melted. It appears they may not have bonded fully when welded with the ti container. This kind'a points out the difficulties of welding, even spot welding, dissimilar materials. Also, ti is not as good of a heat conductor as aluminum by quite a bit. And, expansion and contraction are quite a bit different. I suspect these also contributed to the problem. Durability could be a problem with the SolTi...it is hard to send in for a replacement on the trail. FireMaple and Olicamp (same?) are offering a heat exchanger pot that can be used with most stoves. The advantage that JetBoil had is sort of been made obsolete. The heat exchanger is what really gave the JetBoils their bigest advantage. Depending on the usage, between a 15-40% improvement in time or fuel efficiency has been reported with Heat Exchangers (HE) on pots. Optimus/Primus, Firemaple, MSR are a few that have or are producing heat exchangers on pots. Trail Designs gets around them by simply trapping all heated air using the pot's sides as well as the bottom to transfer heat.
I have a Gigapower and the stability and reliability keep it at the top of the list ... it just works.It I were buying a new one I'd probably get a SP Litemax - a bit lighter and more compact.If I were buying a new remote stove I'd like to try the Kovea Spider.
Only if you are boiling water. Any kind of cooking will be better performed by a regular canister stove. Plenty light, more flexible.
The Jetboil Sol does include a separate pot/frypan support ( 1.3 oz.) that allows the use of any pot or fry pan you like. The speed at which my jetboil produces hot water still amazes me.
But the JB is not known for being a simmering stove. It's designed for speed only.
I really like the optimus crux because of how well it stores. With other stoves i always had a hard time fittine the canister stove and wind screen in the pot so the lid would fit on.
Jim- thanks for your imput. Any thing to say about the jetboil sol Ti? I agree with you about the differences of the stoves being small. I guess thats why im checking out the jet boil also.
I believe there was some problems reported with the SolTi. I don't seem to find the links right off...
I have a Jetboil Sol Ti that I picked up for a good price, and it's my favorite most of the time since I usually just need hot water (and it makes it fast!). It does not simmer well, but I've had no problems with it just heating up water and hot beverages.For real cooking and colder weather use, I've been really pleased with the Kovea Spider that someone mentioned above. It has nice wide supports for using a fry pan or bigger pot, and has handled all my cooking needs well.-David

MASSENA As Massena officials continue to study whether to privatize the municipal hospital, they now will be doing so with at least three new members on its board of managers.
Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray appointed two new members to the board Thursday night and said a third vacancy will be filled in two weeks when the Town Council meets for its regular January meeting.
Filling the vacancy left by the resignation of Kirk E. Wilmshurst was Loretta Perez. Since Mr. Wilmshursts term would have expired Dec. 31, she will receive a full five-year term on the board.
Mr. Gray also replaced one of the two incumbents whose terms were up on the board, appointing SeaComm CEO Scott A. Wilson to the seat formerly held by hospital board President Andrew T. Spanburgh.
Andy asked not to be reappointed, Mr. Gray said.
The seat held by Darrel P. Paquin also was up this year, but Mr. Gray said he wont be making that appointment until the boards regular meeting Jan. 15.
Mr. Gray said several people had expressed an interest in serving on the hospital board, including Mr. Paquin, but he has yet to make a final decision on who will receive that term.
What he does know, though, is it will not be Mr. Paquin.
I had a conversation with Mr. Paquin and he was willing to serve another term, but I chose to make another appointment and thanked him for his service, Mr. Gray said after the meeting.
During the meeting, he thanked both Mr. Spanburgh and Mr. Paquin for their time on the board.
They have been excellent board members, he said.
Other appointments made by the supervisor Thursday include Nancy A. Fregoe as secretary/bookkeeper and Councilman Albert N. Nicola as deputy supervisor.
James M. Shaw was reappointed as Massena Electric Utility Board chairman.
Appointments made by the full board included Philip J. Treers and Robert A. Elsner to the town Planning Board and Lynn A. Smith to the Zoning Board of Appeals.
A vacant seat remains on that board, which Mr. Gray said he hopes to fill in two weeks.

Consider the Fork: A History of How We Cook and Eatby Bee Wilson
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Since prehistory, humans have braved sharp knives, fire, and grindstones to transform raw ingredients into something delicious — or at least edible. Tools shape what we eat, but they have also transformed how we consume, and how we think about, our food. Technology in the kitchen does not just mean the Pacojets and sous-vide of the modernist kitchen. It can also mean the humbler tools of everyday cooking and eating: a wooden spoon and a skillet, chopsticks and forks.
In Consider the Fork, award-winning food writer Bee Wilson provides a wonderful and witty tour of the evolution of cooking around the world, revealing the hidden history of everyday objects we often take for granted. Knives — perhaps our most important gastronomic tool — predate the discovery of fire, whereas the fork endured centuries of ridicule before gaining widespread acceptance; pots and pans have been around for millennia, while plates are a relatively recent invention. Many once-new technologies have become essential elements of any well-stocked kitchen — mortars and pestles, serrated knives, stainless steel pots, refrigerators. Others have proved only passing fancies, or were supplanted by better technologies; one would be hard pressed now to find a water-powered egg whisk, a magnet-operated spit roaster, a cider owl, or a turnspit dog. Although many tools have disappeared from the modern kitchen, they have left us with traditions, tastes, and even physical characteristics that we would never have possessed otherwise.
Blending history, science, and anthropology, Wilson reveals how our culinary tools and tricks came to be, and how their influence has shaped modern food culture. The story of how we have tamed fire and ice and wielded whisks, spoons, and graters, all for the sake of putting food in our mouths, Consider the Fork is truly a book to savor.
"Some of humanity's least sung but most vital gadgets are celebrated in this delicious history of cooking technology. Food historian Wilson (Swindled) surveys eons of cookware, from the Neolithic Age's roasting spits and revolutionary clay pots — by enabling the preparation of mushy liquid foods, they kept toothless people from starving to death — to today's programmable refrigerators and high-tech sous-vide cookers. She deftly presents a wealth of scientific lore on everything from the thermodynamics of boiling to the metallurgical properties of knives. But she is also alive to the social context — the medieval taste for highly refined and processed foods, she notes, relied on armies of exhausted kitchen maids whose constant grinding, sifting, and chopping made them the Cuisinarts of their day — and cultural resonances of cooking customs. (She contrasts the aggressive piercing and carving of food at Western knife-and-fork meals with the gentle gathering of bite-sized morsels by chopsticks at Chinese tables.) Wilson is erudite and whip-smart, but she always grounds her exploration of technological change in the perspective of the eternal harried cook — she's been one — struggling to put a meal on the table. This is mouthwatering history: broad in scope, rich in detail, stuffed with savory food for thought." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"Consider the Fork is a terrific delve into the history and modern use of kitchen tools so familiar that we take them for granted and never give them a thought. Bee Wilson places kitchen gadgets in their rich cultural context. I, for one, will never think about spoons, measuring cups, eggbeaters, or chopsticks in the same way again." Marion Nestle, Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health, New York University, and author of What to Eat
"In the lively prose of a seasoned journalist, Wilson blends personal reminiscences with well-researched history to illustrate how the changing nature of our equipment affects what we eat and how we cook....Rarely has a book with so much information been such an entertaining read." Kirkus Reviews
"[A] delightfully informative history of cooking and eating from the prehistoric discovery of fire to twenty-first-century high-tech, low-temp soud-vide-style cookery." Elle Magazine
"In this culinary history, food journalist Bee Wilson shifts the focus from the foods people ate to the technology behind their preparation, tracing how humble kitchen implements such as forks, whisks, pots, and stoves shaped our diets, our societies, and our bodies. In Wilson's hands, even hot water becomes interesting." Discover Magazine
"Bee Wilson's supple, sometimes playful style in Consider the Fork, a history of the tools and techniques humans have invented to feed themselves, cleverly disguises her erudition in fields from archaeology and anthropology to food science....Wilson's insouciant scholarship and companionable voice convince you she would be great fun to spend time with in the kitchen....[Wilson is a] congenial kitchen oracle." New York Times Book Review
"Wilson is a British food writer not nearly well enough known in this country, who writes beautifully and has the academic chops to deliver what she promises....Reading the book is like having a long dinner table discussion with a fascinating friend. At one moment, she's reflecting on the development of cast-iron cookware, then she's relating the history of the Le Creuset company and the public's changing tastes in color and then she's reminiscing about her mother-in-law's favorite blue pots....The pace is leisurely but lively....It's hard to imagine even the non-geek being tempted to skim sections. Just because Wilson takes her subject seriously doesn't mean Consider the Fork isn't a pure joy to read." Los Angeles Times
"At every turn, Wilson's history of the technology of cooking and eating upends another unexamined tradition, revealing that utensils and practices now taken for granted in kitchen and at table have long and remarkable histories.... Wilson's book teems with...other delightful insights." Booklist, Starred Review
