Many years ago, as a young man, I read a very interesting book about the rise of the Communists to power in China. In the last chapter, the author tried to explain why and how this had happened.
Among the factors he cited were the country's educators. That struck me as odd, and not very plausible, at the time. But the passing years have made that seem less and less odd, and more and more plausible. Today, I see our own educators playing a similar role in creating a mindset that undermines American society.
Schools were once thought of as places where a society's knowledge and experience were passed on to the younger generation. But, about a hundred years ago, Professor John Dewey of Columbia University came up with a very different conception of education — one that has spread through American schools of education, and even influenced education in countries overseas.
John Dewey saw the role of the teacher, not as a transmitter of a society's culture to the young, but as an agent of change — someone strategically placed, with an opportunity to condition students to want a different kind of society.
A century later, we are seeing schools across America indoctrinating students to believe in all sorts of politically correct notions. The history that is taught in too many of our schools is a history that emphasizes everything that has gone bad, or can be made to look bad, in America — and that gives little, if any, attention to the great achievements of this country.
If you think that is an exaggeration, get a copy of A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn and read it. As someone who used to read translations of official Communist newspapers in the days of the Soviet Union, I know that those papers' attempts to degrade the United States did not sink quite as low as Howard Zinn's book.

ONEONTA SUNY Oneonta spun a one-hitter in the first game, then thwarted a SUNY Canton rally with the winning run in the eighth inning in the second game to register a nonleague softball doubleheader sweep Monday.
Katie OFlynn allowed only a single to Kangaroos center fielder Nicole Mulieri in a 10-0 victory for Oneonta in Game 1. OFlynn struck out nine and walked one. Kalyn Deso went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBIs.
In the second game, Deso delivered a run-scoring double in the bottom of the eighth to give Oneonta a 7-6 victory. Oneonta (7-13) held a 5-2 lead until Canton (9-13) rallied for four runs in the sixth to take a 6-5 edge.
Andrea Rogers supplied two hits and two RBIs for the Roos. Allie Gibson knocked in a pair of runs and Mulieri singled and doubled.

If Michigan lawmakers have their way, those under the age of 18 will have one less option to upgrade their looks, as the state is considering putting a stop to youngsters using tanning beds.
The state already has regulations in place that require parental consent before a minor can use a tanning bed, but now lawmakers want to take it a step further and strip moms and dads of their power to parent their children.
While the intent of the law might be good in its effort to curb people from damaging their bodies, this is yet another example of "big brother" reaching in and trying to micromanage our lives.
Take another recent example in New York, where Mayor Michael Bloomberg tried to ban the sale of sugary drinks larger than 16 ounces. The move was part of an effort to combat America's obesity epidemic. Good intentions aside, a New York court ruling has put a lid on the ban for the time being.
However, the fact remains that government is trying to do our jobs for us.
Let us decide if our children are able to go to a tanning salon. And let us decide if we can have the jumbo-size soft drink.
While these actions may be questionable health decisions, at what point do we begin to live in a world found in a page torn from a George Orwell novel?
Bottom line: If we don't have the freedom to make our own lifestyle choices or the choices for our own children, then how free are we?

Fenton, MO (KSDK) - Firefighters are used to saving lives, but some members of the Fenton Fire Department found themselves trying to save the life of a smaller member of a family today.
Fire crews responded to the 1900 block of San Lucas for a fire in a home around 3:20 p.m. Wednesday. When they arrived they called for a second alarm to help extinguish the fire as quickly as possible.
When they entered the home they found a cat and rescued the animal from the burning home.
Coincidentally, when they received the call for the fire, they were training with oxygen masks specifically designed for animals.
The training paid off, and at last check the cat is doing well.
The home suffered serious damage and is uninhabitable at this time.

Long Range
The Long Range Series belt is another outstanding and durable "Smitty" fighting belt. The LRS is larger than the very popular Smitty's Large Day Belt and can be worn with or without a harness. It is handcrafted and created for the angler that wants a light weight belt that is large enough to spread the pressure over the thighs while wearing it with a harness and still do the job for those who do not want to wear a harness. The LRS comes with a 2" webbed belt for those times you are not wearing a harness
There are two considerations when selecting the right long-range belt: size and construction.
Belts made to fight fish over 150# have to be wide enough to fit across your thighs. If the harness is just barely wide enough it will work until you have to set your legs apart to really pull on a fish. At that point one side or the other will slip inside your thigh, the rod butt slips off the belt, etc. etc. Not good.
For fish over 150# select the extra large size. The large size will work with care if you do not get too crazy while pulling on manageable fish.
Construction is another matter. At the risk of offending some vendors I am recommending you avoid a plastic harnesses for fish over 150#. It is not unusual for the rod pin on a plastic belt to rip loose under extremely heavy strain. If you are planning on using a harness (where maximum pressure can be achieved) on fish over 150# pick a welded aluminum belt. These types of belts are not mass produced, they are constructed one at a time. Smitty belts are this type. The only other option that could be strong enough is the SKB belt. It is built with some type of super durable material and it is cheaper, but it is a little smaller than I like. For the big cows (tuna over 200#), I would stay with the Smitty. You only buy it once.
Smitty Long Range Belt B-LRS-BLUE Large Blue$129.99
Smitty Special Long Range Belt B-SPECELGBLUE Large Blue$230.00
Smitty Special Long Range Belt B-SPECEXLGBLK X-Large Black$230.00

Use yum to install your packages. Really. Either that or use a thumbdrive to move the actual RPMs over if you cannot use a networked system to the net.
Linux is not like windows really, when it comes to installing software. Linux like to break things into small very specific tools/tasks/utilities and have other software link to that as it needs to. Thus making the software modular and more easily updated when a security flaw needs to be rolled out.
On FC6 (the box I am on now), the command to get the file(s) you need would be a simple (I think that is the package. Install as root, or via sudo or su):

CARTHAGE The Augustinian Academy Craft Fair will return Saturday after several years on hiatus.
Its all handmade local crafts, said Sarah Graham, event coordinator. Theres a wide variety of products, something for everyone and every age.
Ms. Graham operates SEWsational Sarah and will be selling handmade clothing items at the fair. The fair will offer clothing, photography, maple products, jewelry, pet items, childrens items, quilts, candles, accessories and holiday items.
Im going to have some quilted items, table runners and stuff like that, said Jeanette Turner of Sew What Quilts and Reflections. I also do handmade Christmas stockings and Ill have my embroidery machine on site where I can embroider names on the stockings.
We just tore down an old barn on our property so my husband is making crafts out of the old barn wood, said Mary E. Harding of RE Re-used, Re-purposed and Re-invented. Wine racks, coat racks and all kinds of things.
Mrs. Harding and her husband, Robert J., whose son attends the academy, said they would like to see the event support the school.
I do oils on canvas so I will have mostly those, said Nicole Smith of Artistic Reflections Studios. They are everything from landscapes to figure paintings of various people. I specialize for the most part in horses and a lot of animals.
Ms. Smith has been painting for more than 15 years, but has been selling her products for only the past two years. She anticipates selling Christmas cards at the fair, as well.
The fair was not held in recent years because of a struggle organizing the event and finding a chairperson.
The fair will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Augustinian Academy gymnasium, 317 West St. About 30 vendors are expected to attend with a variety of specialties.
Students will be selling food as part of a fundraiser for the academy. There is no cost for admission.

110 & Counting: WSU flag flies high on 'GameDay'
For 110-straight college football Saturdays 'Ol Crimson and Whitey' have been flying as a backdrop to the set of ESPN's College GameDay.
In a tradition that dates back to 2004, wherever show sets up shop, a Cougar alum in that town, city or just general vicinity, lets Wazzu's iconic logo wave high in the national TV sky.
"The Cougar flag becomes a reference point when you are at the taping because people will see the Cougar flag and they will call their friends on their cell phones saying, 'Hey, I am up here by the Cougar flag' said Springfield resident Craig Murphy. He added, 'You don't hear them saying by the Husky flag."
Murphy is a 1998 graduate of WSU and the flag waver and caretaker when ESPN's traveling road show pulls into the Willamette Valley.
"There's pressure to that because you don't want to be the one that breaks the streak. You have got to make sure you get it on the air."
The current editor of the Springfield Times newspaper was even featured in a Super Bowl commercial that aired in Eastern Washington last February.
A film crew followed him around before the Civil War in Corvallis upon his arrival on the Oregon State campus at 4:30 in the morning.
"I didn't know it was going to be during the Super Bowl until a friend of mine, the day of the Super Bowl emailed me and said, ' you are my hero!'
The commercial coincided with the launch of UndefeatedFans.com
Even if GameDay has never made the trek to the Palouse, Cougs across the country always make sure the tradition never wavers.
"It's been through thick and thin. Back in 2008, 2009, the Cougar flag was still waving and there were a lot of people saying, 'why are you still waving the flag when your team is that bad?' That's just who we are."
The flags are currently in route from Texas to Murphy's home in Springfield and even though it is homecoming in Pullman, Craig is staying put to wave the Crimson and Gray on GameDay before the No. 9 Oregon and No. 18 Arizona State game to make it 111 appearance in a row.

I want to commend the Sun Advocate for the fine job of covering the Helper Cruise Night last month. The article and photos in the paper were great.
I was, however, a little disappointed that the actual car show didn't receive more coverage.
We plan to have a bigger and better cruise night next year. I hope the paper can cover it and the car show next year.

Here's a good vegetarian/pastafarian dish me and my girlfriend like to enjoy regularly.
Spinach-Ricotta Sauce
1-lb box of penne pasta
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 gloves garlic, minced or crushed
1 cup cooked spinach
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 large tomato, chopped
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper (feel free to eyeball this instead of an exact measurement)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (and please, for your sake and the sake of those around you, the good stuff, not the green can)
In a large skillet, warm the oil over medium heat. Add the onion. A minute or two later, add the garlic and saute until the onion becomes translucent
Add the spinach, ricotta, tomato, and pepper. Mix thoroughly; season with salt

I have
2006 BMW 330xi whose car-keys (the automatic one) is dead. I think its batteries are dead. What are my options?
I tried driving around to charge it but that didn't work.
You should be able to get the battery changed, either by an automotive locksmith or by your nearest BMW dealer. The batteries are usually standard coin cells, but I wouldn't try changing one without checking first as you might find it will need to be re-programmed afterwards.
Try a locksmith first as they will probably be a lot cheaper than BMW!
Not sure on your 330, but on my E39 the the battery in the key is automatically recharged when it is in the ignition. There's a clever induction system that keeps the battery charged.
Your battery may not work that way and may have died.
You may also have somehow gotten the car security system to "forget" your keys, so it isn't responding to them any longer. Some BMWs have a process where you can re-learn your keys without needing to take it to the $tealer.

Advanced technology in traditional surroundings at the Abcoude municipality, Netherlands
The Abcoude municipality had a lot of problems with the old conference system, and the audio quality was insufficient for the room or transmission via radio and/or internet. Therefore, the municipality contacted the Dutch company PTH to find a suitable solution.
PTH recommended them to use the Revoluto conference system to prevent interferences caused by wire cracks. As Revoluto does the traditional gooseneck microphone away, the Council members can all be seen very well and due to the Revoluto technology they can move freely without deteriorating the intelligibility of speech.
Before the municipality bought this revolutionary conference system, they wanted to test it. Therefore, PTH arranged Revoluto microphones for a meeting of the Council. The Council members unanimously believed that this is the optimal solution. Meanwhile the system has been installed and works to full satisfaction.

China's current dominance is, as previously pointed out, one reason why the iPad must be made in China—and probably a reason why many electronics are now made in China at facilities like Foxconn (above, pictured).
This week, Japan's NHK reported that a University of Tokyo led research team discovered a 6.8 ton rare earth deposit in a seabed near the island of Minamitorishima, which is located in Japanese waters. This isn't more than the 13 million tons of rare earths that exist in the US, but according to University of Tokyo professor Yasuhiro Kato, it's enough to supply the country with 227 years worth of electronics and hybrid car batteries. It's enough for Japan to break free of China.
This latest discovery comes as both the U.S. and the European Union are asking the World Trade Organization to end China's monopoly on rare earths. Tensions are even spilling over into the virtual world: upcoming video game, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, is centered on a future conflict over rare earths.
This latest discovery is also a huge boom for Japan—a country that imports 60 percent of China's rare earths and a country with limited natural resources. While last summer, Japan discovered rare earth deposits in international waters, this is the first large scale rare earth discovery of its kind on Japanese territory.
Environmentalists worry that mining could disrupt sea life, but if Japan is able to safely extract the minerals, it could rely on itself for the creation of electronics and batteries—for the next two centuries.

I purchased the Thorntons hamper to send to my mum for Mothers Day. She was absolutely delighted with it, and not just with the amount of chocolate, but with presentation. I asked for gift wrapping as it was a present and she raved about the wrapping as much as the chocolate!

Video: Infant Dies in Overnight House Fire
Video: Infant Dies in Riverside Fire
BUFFALO, NY - An infant has died after a two-alarm fire in Buffalo's Riverside neighborhood overnight.
The fire started around 2:45 a.m. at 367 Riverside Avenue and spread to a neighboring home and an adjacent building.
The parents and the infant, whose name was Savior, escaped on their own and were down the street when rescuers arrived at the scene.
Witnesses say the parents were pounding on neighbors' doors for help before firefighters arrived.
Sixty to 65 firefighters were on-scene battling the flames at one point.
The Buffalo Fire Commissioner says the parents of the infant refused medical treatment in order to be with the child on the way to the hospital.
A man who identified himself as an uncle to the infant that died told Two On Your Side, the baby was named Savior Lopez and was six months old.
Firefighters helped residents out of 365 Riverside Avenue where the flames had spread.
Investigators remained on scene late Tuesday morning collecting evidence and photographing the home where the fire began.
The Buffalo Red Cross assisted four people who also lived in the home.
A fund has been set up for the family of Savior. You can send a donation to the Rodriguez Lopez Family at any Keybank.

Do you have ldap logins enabled on your server?
I need to make my a DHCP server on Fedora 11 and when I configure the dhcpd.conf and try to start the server it says this error. "Not searching LDAP since ldap-server, ldap-port and ldap-base-dn were not specified in the config file". Please help me out.
All I have to do is make my computer into a DHCP server so that when other people connect to my router, it will assign them an ip address.
This is my dhcpd.conf file.;
# dhcpd.conf
# Sample /etc/dhcpd.conf
# (add your comments here)
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
option routers 192.168.1.254;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2;
option domain-name "mydomain.org";
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.100;
range 192.168.1.150 192.168.1.200;
Do you have ldap logins enabled on your server?
No I don't have ldap enabled on the server.
You may have it set in your PAM configuration. Try running authconfig or authconfig-tui. These programs set it up with a GUI and will make it easy to see.
1 hey soccer05 , do 1 thng open dhcpd.conf
i.e. vi .etc/dhcpd.conf
2 make the chnges: subenet = giv ur ip
option router= chk if the ip are in same series ,if not kae thm in same series
option nis domain =disable it by putting # at beggining
option domain name = put the zone name like "abc.com"
leasetime= this time is in seconds. u must specify time ...it means for this time only ip will exists.
3 range dynamic-bootp = giv the ip addresses tht u want in network .....
i hope it will work ....report me what happened..
I also see a message in /var/log/messages (CentOS 6.2) as follows
but I simply took this to be a warning/info message rather than an error and disregarded it.dhcp: Not searching LDAP since ldap-server, ldap-port and ldap-base-dn were not specified in the config file
Just for completeness I did run authconfig-tui to see if that shed any further light, but I don't think it does. It simply show the following selections (for Authentication)
- Use Shadow Passwords
- Local authorization is sufficient
I'm actually having different problems with setting up DHCP - on which I suspect I will post later - but I came across this whilst searching for possible solutions and thought that this additional info might help the next person that comes across it.

For professionals who demand nothing less than the best, the EOS-1D X is designed to perform superbly, even in the most treacherous environments, every time. The body is constructed of rigid, high-strength magnesium alloy for rugged performance and features a new grip design for easier finger placement and reduced hand fatigue. Its newly redesigned shutter has lightweight and carbon-fiber blades, and is rated to maintain up to 14 fps performance without compromise, for up to 400,000 cycles. The EOS-1D X and accessories like the new Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E6A and GPS Receiver GP-E1 have extensive gasketing for improved dust and water resistance, even at their connection points.
The EOS-1D X's integrated cleaning dust removal cleaning uses a carrier wave type self-cleaning sensor unit. While previous dust removal systems removed dust adhered to the surface of the infrared absorbing/ultraviolet-blocking glass in a frontward direction by vibrating the glass with ultrasound, the new system effectively rolls rather than shakes the dust particles off, removing an even greater amount of dust, especially smaller particles. As with previous cameras, the IR/UV absorbing glass in front of the EOS-1D X's sensor is treated with an anti-dust fluorine coating making it easier to remove damp or sticky dust particles. As part of Canon's Integrated Cleaning System dust missed by the camera can be identified and removed using the Dust Delete Data feature of Canon's Digital Professional Pro software, bundled with every EOS digital SLR.

Video: Obama Urges End to Political Name Calling as Second Term Starts
Video: Time Lapse Video Captures Crowds Filling National Mall
Video: Myrlie Evers-Williams delivers inaugural invocation
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama has begun his second term by declaring that the nation's "possibilities are limitless."
Speaking before a flag-waving crowd of hundreds of thousands on the National Mall, Obama said a decade of war is ending, and the nation's economy is recovering.
Moments after taking the oath of office on a crisp day in the nation's capital, Obama said, "We are made for this moment, and we will seize it, so long as we seize it together."
In his second inaugural address, Obama didn't dwell on any first-term accomplishments, but instead looked to hard work ahead in a country still grappling with a sluggish economy. And he urged Washington to find common ground over his next four years.
He rejected the idea that the nation "must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future."
He also said the nation must "respond to the threat of climate change" and tackle the issue of immigration reform. And he said it must protect its children from the kind of violence that erupted in a Newtown, Conn., elementary school.
Obama earlier placed his hand on two Bibles -- one that was used by Martin Luther King and the other used by Abraham Lincoln -- and recited the oath of office.
Vice President Joe Biden was also sworn in for his second term.

Was thinking about reasonable weight goals to shoot for when putting together SUL. Easy info that'd be good to know the first day you start thinking about going SUL. What do you think?SUL Wt Goals For Comfortable WeatherItem Lb==== ==Pack < .5Pad < .5Bag < 1.5 ---updatedShelter < .75 ---updated< 3.25 lb without wt for kitchen, extra packed clothing, hygiene, medical, etckitchen < .51.25 for extra packed clothing, hygiene, medical, etc
Edited by gmatthews on 08/03/2011 10:29:44 MDT.
there are lots of sub 20oz bags and some sub 16oz quilts out there, so shout for less that 1.5lbs for both pad and bag. look for sub 0.75oz shelter options or multi-use items like ponchos.
I would say that 0.5 / 8oz is generous for the pack because there are 1oz packs out there, and it's pretty easy to put together a nice robust and nicely featured 1.5oz cuben pack for under 5oz. Going with a nice light 3-5oz pack really frees up a lot of weight which will be much appreciated elsewhere. With that said, there are many ways to go SUL. Some people will want to stick with a DyneemaX pack, and then 8oz really is the minimum.
Going under 3 oz. for a cuben pack is extremely easy so to me 8 oz seems like a ton. Those 5 oz are better spent elsewhere like for me adding a kitchen and 2" air mattress for full comfort SUL.
George, A couple of questions...#1 are these goals that you should go after or are you wanting to discuss what goals might be for the general backpacking population that would want to try to get to sub 5?#2 what is comfortable weather? a kit that can handle below freezing with rain or sleet?#3 is this meant to handle all approaches...i.e. poncho tarp, tarp, others? because I have found that the goals should change slightly depending on the approach.If I assume this is general goals. I would encourage the use of these assuming non cuben gear because you can certainly do SUL without cuben gear and the cost differential is significant. I would not want have goals that can only be reached with a $250 tarp when a $50 tarp will work just fine.On weather...I will assume 30 degree nights with a kit that can handle solid rain.Next I would suggest taking another look at Chapter 15 LWB&C, Ryan suggests weights for items in a sub5 kit. I have read this chapter at least 30 times.Given the above background here are my comments. First I would convert target to ounces to provide additional granularity, but I will stick to lbs for now realizing any one of the big 3 might be +- 2 oz.Pack - 1/2 lb agreed this is a Murmur - $90 (7.9 oz)Bag - I would suggest 1 lb - this would be a Katabatic Palaside or Arc GhostPad - 4 oz - trimmed 3/8" CCFShelter - 1 lb - 8 oz tarp (NON cuben), 2 oz stakes and line, 6 oz bivyTotal is 2.75 lbs.Cook kit - 1/4 lb - ti cup, ti spoon, cat can stove, foil wind screen, foil lid (if cooking kit contains water purification, water carriers, and lighter then yes go with 1/2 lb)This leave - 2 lbs for everything else The biggest concern I have with your goal is in the remaining gear. I would suggest that 1.25 lbs is not enough to have proper safety items, hygene items, and extra clothing.Extra clothing - If not using a poncho tarp....fleece cap - 1.5 ozfleece glove - 1.5 ozpuffy jacket - 8 ozextra stocks - 2 ozrain gear - 11 oz (anything less means goals require poncho, non durable rain gear, or no rain paints)this is 1.5 lbs, if you are using a poncho tarp then the above list can swap out the 11 oz rain gear for a 3 oz wind shirt, but now the goals only work for people who are skilled in poncho tarping and you should probably add in 2 oz to the shelter weight target.If I have done my math right 2.75 + 1/4 + 1.5 lbs leaves a round 1/2 lb for light, fire, whistle, compass, cutting device, first aid kit, hygene items, deet, sun screen, water purification, water carriers, bear hang kit, etc (1/2 lb will be cutting it close). For what it is worth my suggested goals aren't just theories, I have tested and practiced these goals using items that are not made of cuben. Yes I own cuben and think it is great I'd just wouldn't set goals in general that can only be achieved with limited approaches or limited budgets.Jamie

My zPacks zero cost me almost exactly what my Gossamer Gear Murmur did yet is a full 5 oz. lighter and every bit as functional. Cuben certainly has its place and it needn't be prohibitively expensive either. I personally don't see the utility in setting guideposts which ignore one of the better fabrics we have at our disposal.
Chris, I agree with the zpacks zero, but if we are talking general goals I am not aware of too many other non cuben options that are significantly below 8 oz that I would suggest a general goal any lower than 1/2 lb.Again for goals I am looking for targets that work under the most conditions possible. Techniques, finances, options, etc. I would say my goal of 1 lb for a bag is the most restrictive. There are not many options to make this happen.Also if using pounds it is just nice to have them in round number like 1/4, 1/2, etc.I'd say a goal of 1/2 lb is still reasonable for a pack, you just found an option that would give you 3 oz to spend somewhere else...i.e. on a bag so now you can use WM summerlite instead of a quilt.Lastly my goal posts don't ignore cuben, certainly it is still a great option. I simple argue goals that don't "require" it are much more applicable to a wider audience. I believe that goals that can be applied to wider audiences are better than goal that can only be applied by narrower audiences. This is why is was my first question to George.Jamie

>#1 are these goals that you should go after or are you wanting to discuss what >goals might be for the general backpacking population that would want to try to get >to sub 5?General like you assumed I meant. And, affordable by most backpackers. I'm assuming backpacker already has traditional gear or UL gear. Now backpacker decides to go SUL. What is a good weight guide to reach safe, comfortable gear list? I did this a few years ago after reading your (Jamie's) SUL trip. Jamie's trip report inspired me to try SUL. I then used Ryan's book for the details. Over the years, seems like it is much easier to go SUL and cheaper. But is it that clear and easy for a backpacker on day one of building the SUL gear list? Is it affordable? Is it within reach only needing a bit of inspiration?>#2 what is comfortable weather? a kit that can handle below freezing with rain or >sleet?Yes, down to freezing or about 30 degrees F. Handling rain for sure.>#3 is this meant to handle all approaches...i.e. poncho tarp, tarp, others? because >I have found that the goals should change slightly depending on the approach.Might be good to have different paths. Goals based on if backpacker wants a fully enclosed tarp/tent, tarp and bivy, poncho tarp, etc. Maybe a transition from traditional to UL to SUL.Maybe we can unofficially update Ryan's chapter based on our weight guide.
with Jamie's input... 8 oz Pack 0.50 lb <$10016 oz Bag 1.00 lb <$200 4 oz Pad 0.25 lb <$5016 oz Shelt 1.00 lb <$20044 oz Total 2.75 lb <$550Cook/Water .5Extra clothing 1.52.75 + .5 + 1.5 lbs >> leaves a round .5 lb for light, fire, whistle, compass, cutting device, first aid kit, hygene items, deet, sun screen, water purification, water carriers, bear hang kit, etc (1/2 lb will be cutting it close).
Here is a link to that George. For those who haven't read it,http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/00138
I'm really excited about the thought of trying to get these goal costs down. I'm a college student taking a lot of hours, so working for much money isn't really an option. The only way I made it to SUL was by making all of my own gear during bits of free time, but that isn't an option for everyone. With this in mind, I'm not totally sure a 16oz bag for under $200 is very reasonable. Please correct me if I am wrong, but about the best option for a (rated) 30* bag I can find would be maybe a MLD Spirit 30 at 18oz for a regular length and costs $180. Another option (that I haven't made yet or tested) would to be to just use the combination of the puffy jacket I think we are including in our clothing weight with the MLD Spirit 45, but I think that would be pushing it at 30* according to MLD's description.Also, $50 is seems too much for a closed cell foam pad. I would say $25 would get this item for you, such as item cost and shipping for a Gossamer Gear Thinlight.
Chris, Glad to see your post. I am passionate about making LW, UL, and SUL gear available to a wide audience which is why I find this thread so interesting. Again it is not to down play the fact that a specific item might indeed come in well below any of these goals, but instead to provide as many options to as many people as possible...like a college student on limited funds.I will say you found the weakest link from weight and cost perspective...the sleeping bag/quilt.The 16 oz target is hard for a 30ish bag. Yes extending a 40-45 degree quilt with your 1.5 lbs of clothing gear is a great approach. My experience is if the temp dips below 30 you will be pretty cold, but will come out fine the next morning. Some options are....MLD spirit quilts as you pointed outJRB Shenandoah (or stealth) for $190, ~16 oz, 40 degreeWestrn Mountaineering Highlite for $270, ~16 oz, 35 degreeKatabatic Palisade, $315, 17.5 oz, 30 degreeKatabatic Chisos, $285, 14.6 oz, 40 degreeNunatak Ghost, $365, 15 oz, 32 degreeThru-hiker quilt kit, $160, ~16 oz, 30 degree (w/down left over) - Cheapest if you can sewGiven this if we need 30 degree kit then I would up the $ goal to $300, but if 40 degree will work then I would leave it at $200.As far as packs go...a great alternative is a Ray Way pack at ~9.0 oz for $58Jamie

Regarding sleeping bags and quilts on a budget, the GoLite quilts are pretty much hands down the best value. The MSRP is quite reasonable and they pretty much always have a 40% off coupon out there (there's one now, check out the gear deals forum). The Golite 1+ Season quilt (40F rating) is 20oz and comes to $132 with the 40% off coupon. There are quilts that use a bit lighter shell fabrics to save up to 4oz, but not for $132. It's probably a better use of your money to buy this and then shave the ounces elsewhere.Even better but hard to find, the previous version of the GoLite quilt was called the 'Ultra 20' and was optimistically rated at 20F for just 19oz. Even if you assume a 30F rating, 19oz is still quite good when you're only spending about $130. These quilts used a lighter fabric than the current Golite quilts, which is why a better temp rating was possible at less weight. I have one of these and it's been awesome. The only way to get something better is to spend hundreds to save a couple ounces.Regarding SUL in general, I'm going to stick with an inflating pad (rather than a CCF one) because the trade off in comfort isn't worth it to me to go with a ccf pad. I'm currently using a 9oz NeoAir small and I would consider a 6oz Klymit X-frame for summer use (too low R-value for spring/fall). The problem is that I don't really want to spend money on gear that is really only useful 2-3 months of the year. My goal is to get to SUL while still using an inflatable mattress and have enough warmth to go camping in temps down to about 25F so I can do it 5-6 months of the year. I can currently come pretty close (5.1 lbs) if I opt to go without the stove and just eat cold food. Here's where I'm at...notice the quantity for a lot of items is 0 as they would be left at home.
Dan,Interesting point about pad. When I did go SUL a few years ago, I did not like the pad because I got too greedy. Afterwards, I'd add weight of a comfortable pad.I'm still going to try the GG torso and 1/8 thin combo again on my next trip - I'm okay with that but just barely. Might try tweaking my lists and go with another pad. Also, the bag price/weight you noted above looks really good for someone who is considering SUL and is stuck on that piece of gear. Looks good for anyone in fact : )
Dan,You could be full SUL if you drop your extra pair of underwear and your clothing storage bag you would make the 5 lbs barrier.I like the philosophy of your list. Most of your expensive items are ones that you would use in your UL kit as well.
I've been thinking a bit about the underwear....mostly that 60g (2.2oz) seems like a lot for one pair. Underwear is an area that I've never really explored, but I haven't been super happy with the undies I've been using so I should experiment a bit. I've heard a lot of good things about the ex-officio briefs and I bet they're way lighter too. Anyone got recommendations?It would be fairly easy for me to go 'summer SUL'. I'd just have to replace my 19.2oz sleeping quilt with a nice light 13oz 40F one and then I could be sub 5 lbs even after adding back in some other nice tidbits....maybe even the stove. However, I'm really trying to keep this kit applicable to at least the warmer half of the year which is why I don't want to pick up a 40F quilt. I've been wanting to buy a replacement 25-30F quilt for my Golite that uses even lighter 7D fabrics and 900fp down to save 3oz or so, but no one seems to be making these. Perhaps Javan will make some with the new sevenD fabric. Eventually I'll get a quilt around 16oz and then that'll make SUL quite a bit easier.
I'm going to one up you and say that I want my next quilt to be a k-step wearable quilt made from 900 fp down and either SevenD or CT0.3K.08 depending on how light I want to go with it. If I decide to go with cuben, it will be MYOG since bonding it is extremely easy.
Dan, first of all nice list :) I would nix the deodorant, unless you are going with your significant other, in which case, it might be needed. I am lucky in that my wife does not care when I am a little stinky.Next, about underwear. I used to always take an extra pair "just in case", but over the past spring and now summer, I have experimented with only taking one pair (which I wear out with me, and I count as clothing worn). I am not sure how long you go out or where, but what I have found to be a great routine for me in my area on overnighters and weekenders in warmer weather, and goes like this:1. Hike for a while and get sweaty. My boxer briefs get damp with sweat, sometimes soaked.2. Set up camp, then go to the nearest body of water and take a swim using underwear as swimming trunks. Now I have clean-ish (or at least much cleaner) undies.3. When done swimming, take undies off wring em out, then put on pants and go commando.4. Go back to camp and dry undies by the fire, then put dry undies on as PJs before going to sleep, and let pants air out overnight.Hope this helps, unless you don't like going commando, in which case you can get silk undies that are lighter (but warmer and perhaps not the best for multi-use as swimwear).
Nice list, Dan. I do Cesar's list (steps 1-3) for my ExOfficio boxers. I'm a nut about getting under my quilt in clean clothes, so I pack a pair of silk bottoms for bed (or Cap'3 for the colder seasons).I like ExO's, but they are definitely synthetic and I can sweat and stink in them by simply wearing them in town for half the day - never mind a few days on the trail (which means almost daily washing, as Cesar describes above)! I love the drying time of the synthetics but hate the stink. I'll be looking into something merino when the budget allows.

|Parkway Packed as Leaf Season Peaks
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 21 October 2013 12:57
It didn't take long for the tourists to return to the Blue Ridge Parkway after the reopening of the federal facilities there late last week. Coupled with the 20,000 or so who hit Banner Elk for the Wooly Worm Festival, the Parkway was awash in the peak color of leaves and
overflowing with tourists taking it all in. A trek from Grandfather Mountain to Blowing Rock showed every overlook overflowing, parking out on the Parkway at places like the Moses Cone home and Price Lake. With the crowds—there in spite of overcast skies Saturday—what the season might have been without all the campgrounds, visitors centers, and other locations closed for over two weeks. Some estimates were in the tens of millions of dollars lost to areas surrounding the Parkway and Smoky Mountains. And speaking of weather, Fuzz, the woolly worm, won the Saturday races and owner, Michelle Griffin from Ansonville, NC, took the $1000 grand prize. Fuzz is now the official predictor of the Avery County high country weather, which now calls for winter to arrive with a blast of cold and snow, then moderate, ending with above normal temps. We'll see.

Delaware Leads Evolution Education!
Evolution education in Delaware just keeps getting better. An article in the News Journal hails, "While other states wrestle over whether to even use the word "evolution" in their science standards, Delaware has become one of the nation's leading states in teaching the theory in public schools, state officials and national experts say."
Local Group Pushes for ID in Science Classes
A local conservative group in Montgomery County, Texas is mounting a petition drive to mandate the teaching of "intelligent design" in all six school districts in the county. Jim Jenkins, president of the Republican Leadership Council (RLC), said that the group is attempting to convince school boards to supplement evolution with intelligent design, reported the Magnolia Potpourri (2003 Jul 22); available on-line here.
DI again accused of quote-mining

William Jewell College Upholds Evolution
William Jewell College, a liberal arts college founded in 1849 associated with the Missouri Baptist Convention, is about to lose the MBC's support due to its position on a variety of issues, including the teaching of creationism.
The MBC's executive board voted 44–4 to recommend that the MBC discontinue its support of the college -- about $850 000 per year, roughly 3% of the college's annual budget. The recommendation is expected to be followed at the MBC's annual meeting in early November.
Another "Design Hypothesis" Bill
On July 17 House Bill 5005 was introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives and referred to the Education Committee. HB 5005 endorses "teaching the design hypothesis as an explanation for the origin and diversity of life."
House Bill 4705, introduced in 2001, contained the same provisions and some of the same sponsors as HB 5005. The 2001-2 Education Committee took no action on HB 4705. The full text of HB 5005 follows:

If you're looking for the sharpest edge possible we recommend our leather bench strops. We have found nothing puts that final edge on a knife better than a leather strop.
Our 12" XL Leather Bench Mountable Strops are made of leather bonded to a solid red oak base. The leather accepts honing compounds of various grades. We recommend our Green Honing Compound.
The leather strop isn't new to sharpening but it is still confusing to some. Like a razor strop, the bench strop is used to put a very fine edge on your blade. Barbers have been using leather razor strops for decades to keep an extremely sharp edge on their straight razors. The razor strop is an essential tool for any barber or anyone needing to keep a straight razor sharp enough to shave with. While a razor strop can be used to sharpen a traditional knife, it just isn't the right tool for the job. For putting the final edge on tools and knives, we recommend a Bench Strop. After sharpening your knife or tool on a bench stone, we recommend finishing it off with a bench strop for an extremely sharp edge. Just think of this strop as your finest stone.
The leather area on our 12" XL Leather Bench Mountable Strop measures 12" x 3" in size. The total length of the strop is 15". We've designed it to be securely mounted to a bench with screws (screws not included). Due to the large size and width, this strop is ideal for both tools and knives.
Strops can be made with smooth leather (grain side) or suede leather (flesh side). When deciding which one to carry we had to consider not only our own preferences but also the preferences of others for woodworking tools, carving tools, and knife sharpening. We even put them to a performance test and in the end, either one worked great. Instead of just carrying one type, we decided to carry both.
Smooth - The smooth leather option is a very firm piece of leather. This leather is selected specifically for the smooth side only. If the leather is too hard, it just doesn't doesn't work well and doesn't accept compound well. If the leather is too soft, it doesn't produce as fine of an edge and won't hold up. This leather is more durable than the soft.
Suede - The suede side uses the opposite side of the leather (it is technically called the flesh side). The leather we use is selected for its flesh side properties. This leather is different leather than our smooth side leather. In our research, the leather that makes a good suede side is different than the leather that makes a good smooth side. Our suede leather is a little softer than the smooth leather. The suede leather accepts compound very readily.
Made with pride in the USA.
Q. Do you recommend using a compound on the strop?
A. Yes, we highly recommend a compound. Our Green Honing Compound will quickly put a fine polish on the edge of knives and tools.
Q. I'm sharpening carving tools, should I choose the rough or the smooth side?
A. We've used both sides and have found either to work very well. That being said, carvers seem to prefer the rough side.
Q. Will the smooth or rough side provide a finer edge?
A. We have not found the edges to be noticeably different. The firmer leather of the smooth side will in theory keep a tighter angle tolerance than the rough leather. Keep in mind in both cases, this is the finest and last step in sharpening and the tool or knife will be as sharp as it can possibly be.
Q. I can't make up my mind on whether to purchase the rough or smooth sided strop. Can you help?
A. If everything else is equal we offer this suggestion: if you have a knife... get the smooth, if you have a tool... get the rough. This seems to be what people prefer.
