Jailing those who publicly deny that the Nazis attempted to exterminate European Jews might make people think more carefully about what they say or write. But even if the three-year sentence recently imposed by an Austrian court on the British historian David Irving put the Holocaust back in the news, prison is hardly a reliable instrument for changing hearts. Nor is it the most effective educator.
An arguably better approach is evident in a bleary-eyed queue of passengers, most of them in their late teens, at 5am at Luton airport. Twice a year, a chartered Boeing 757 packed with students, teachers, politicians, journalists and others prepares to fly to Krakow, the ancient capital of Poland. The "others" include a group of police officers who work in areas of Britain where anti-semitism is a problem.
From Krakow, we are taken by coach to a town called Oswiecim. Most people know it by its German name, given by the invaders who occupied it in the late summer of 1939: Auschwitz.
For 60 years, the town's inhabitants have lived beside the former labour and death camps whose names became synonymous with the Holocaust. Auschwitz, the former Polish army barracks taken over by the Nazis, and Birkenau, the purpose-built death camp, are our destination.
The Holocaust Education Trust (HET), which is funding and organising the trip, is a charity dedicated to raising public awareness of the 20th century's most notorious genocide, and understanding its relevance more than half a century on. "As our rabbis point out succinctly, hearing is not like seeing," says Rabbi Barry Marcus, of the Central Synagogue in west London, who is on the trip. "We need to see for ourselves, however painful, if only to strengthen our resolve not to forget the memory of the millions who were so mercilessly butchered."
The trust was set up in 1988, when its founders realised the curriculum included no formal teaching about the Holocaust, says Kay Andrews, HET's head of education. Its first mission - achieved in 1991 - was to ensure all pupils receive some teaching on it. HET's aims - "to teach about the Holocaust, to learn the lessons from it and to remember its victims" - haven't altered, but it has shifted its focus to how effectively these lessons are delivered. Latterly, HET has aimed its work at helping teachers approach such subjects as the treatment of refugees, racism and prejudice.
Apathy and ignorance are bigger problems than Holocaust denial, which Andrews has never encountered from a pupil - although others have. "One of our educators was in a school about a month ago and a group of year 10 students said: we don't believe this happened. It's quite common for teachers to send students to the net to research the Holocaust, [and] a lot of Holocaust denial is on the web."
There has been, according to the Community Security Trust, an organisation dedicated to safeguarding Jewish communities in Britain, a rise in anti-semitic incidents in particular areas. HET now directs some of its work at these areas, which include parts of the London boroughs of Tower Hamlets, Newham and Bexley. "We use the word 'Jew' to have a go at someone," a child at a Tower Hamlets school recently told a visitor from HET.
One of the most effective ways the trust has found of spreading its messages to schoolchildren is via their school seniors. The bulk of the flights to Auschwitz carry sixth-form students. Before the trip, they are invited to a seminar, which includes an introduction to Jewish life in Europe before the war and a talk from a camp survivor.
We arrive outside the first camp, Auschwitz 1. Snow covers all surfaces. The sun shines from a cloudless sky. Later, when the sun goes down and the temperature drops, we are reminded that on top of every other horror, those inmates who survived a winter did so in flimsy pyjamas. At night, in Birkenau, they were crammed 700 at a time into drafty wooden huts, built to stable horses.
At the former barracks the combination of snow, uneven red brickwork, wrought-iron lamps at the doors and the tiled roofs give an almost quaint, middle-European fairytale look, topped by the grotesquely whimsical loop in the arch over the main entrance bearing the notorious motto: Arbeit macht frei. Three kilometres away, Birkenau, which eventually got its own railway spur so Jews could be delivered right into the camp, many to be herded straight to the gas chambers, is unequivocally sinister.
Halfway through the visit to Auschwitz 1, you start to see the mounds of suitcases, spectacle frames, artificial limbs, brushes and hair looted from the prisoners. And the baby clothes, tiny boots and sandals.
"I was walking around speechless - and I talk about everything," says 17-year-old Gemma Knott, one of two students from City of Leicester College. "I think it was the clothes that did it, then the hair and the glasses. I think I was crying by then."
"I only found out about the Holocaust in the last year and I wanted to see it," says Daniel Ashwell, 17, from Dudley College. "I think I've been a bit overwhelmed. I don't know how I should react."
The students are expected to convey what they have seen to their year group and to younger children when they return to school. "We find that the students who have been on this visit act as tremendous ambassadors," says Andrews. "Their peer groups listen to them."
On its website, the trust has a quotation from Joel, the Old Testament prophet: "Has the like of this happened in your days or in the days of your fathers? Tell your children about it and let their children tell theirs, and their children the next generation."

ATLANTA -- The Braves will have a hard time making the playoffs, despite their most remarkable comeback of the season. So they went ahead and celebrated as though this one was for a championship.
Matt Diaz capped an improbable rally with a two-out, three-run double in the ninth inning, giving Atlanta a 9-8 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday.
The Phillies squandered leads of 5-0 and 8-2, giving up four runs in the eighth and watching in disbelief as Diaz's liner skidded off the tip of Chris Robertson's glove with the bases loaded.
"I'm not believing that," said Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel, whose team remained five games behind the NL East-leading New York Mets. "I totally can't believe that. I've never seen that -- ever. It's mind-boggling."
The Braves' chances looked slim when Brett Myers (3-6) retired the first two hitters in the ninth with an 8-6 lead. But Jeff Francoeur and Martin Prado hustled to beat out infield hits, and Yunel Escobar walked to load the bases.
That brought up Diaz, who entered the game as a pinch hitter in the seventh. He went the opposite way with a liner that eluded Roberson's lunging attempt and stuck at the base of the wall.
Roberson hit the relay man, but the throw home was up the first-base line. Escobar slid across with the winning run, thrusting his right index finger toward the stands. Diaz, who had just rounded second, pumped his fists and was mobbed by his teammates in a wild pile beside the pitcher's mound.
"When I got it in the air, I thought I got too much," Diaz said. "I didn't realize how shallow he was playing."
Manuel remained on the top step of the dugout for at least a minute, watching the celebration and subtly shaking his head. Finally, he headed for the clubhouse.
"It didn't look good," Braves manager Bobby Cox said. "But we did it."
The Braves still must face reality. They won for just the second time in six games on a crucial homestand against their top two rivals in the NL East, having been swept by the Mets last weekend.
Atlanta is 7½ games behind New York, which lost 7-0 to Cincinnati.
"Whatever happens, we're going to play till the end," Francoeur said. "That was the most exciting game of the year for me."
Braves starter Tim Hudson allowed five runs in the first two innings, and the Phillies added three more in the seventh off Oscar Villareal for an 8-2 lead. Rafael Soriano (3-3) picked up the win with a scoreless ninth.
Atlanta sent 10 hitters to the plate in the eighth, scoring four runs off Tom Gordon. But it looked like another frustrating finish for the Braves when Kelly Johnson popped out on a 2-0 pitch from Myers with the bases loaded, then Chipper Jones hit a lazy fly to left for the third out, slamming his bat in disgust.
Gordon blamed himself for letting the Braves back in the game.
"It's devastating," he said. "We need to win those kind of games. I take responsibility for it."
Myers struck out Mark Teixeira to start the ninth, and Brayan Pena grounded out to first. Francoeur hit a grounder past third that shortstop Jimmy Rollins fielded in the outfield grass, giving him no chance to throw out the runner. Prado followed with a high hopper off the plate, just beating Myers' throw to first, which pulled Ryan Howard off the bag anyway.
"When Prado got that base hit off home plate, I thought, 'Uh oh, something's going to happen here,'" Atlanta's Willie Harris said.
He was right. Diaz came through with the biggest hit of all, giving the Braves a glimmer of hope in the playoff race. The team that won 14 consecutive division titles from 1991-2005 has only 22 games left to avoid missing the playoffs for the second year in a row.
"It happened so fast," Myers said. "The game got out of control: cheap hits, balls falling in."
Hudson gave up 11 hits in five innings. The remarkable comeback kept him from his third loss in a row and kept the Braves (71-69) above .500.
"This is the kind of win we've been needing for a long time," Hudson said.
Pat Burrell hit his 25th homer in the second, a two-out drive over the center-field wall that put Philadelphia ahead 5-0.
Kyle Kendrick breezed through the first five innings, allowing just three hits. The Braves finally broke through in the sixth, knocking out the rookie with three consecutive hits that included Harris' leadoff homer.
The Phillies escaped with a 5-2 lead when Aaron Rowand raced over from center to make a sliding catch on Francoeur's blooper toward left, then Andruw Jones struck out against Kane Davis.
"We had no business winning this game as lousy as we played the first few innings," Chipper Jones said. "We got lucky."
- Kendrick's five-inning stint was the shortest of his surprising debut season.
- Braves SS Edgar Renteria took grounders before the game and expects to come off the disabled list before Friday's game against the Nationals.
- Hudson has allowed 14 runs and 26 hits over his last three starts, covering 16 innings.
- Braves C Brian McCann left in the eighth after tweaking his left ankle -- which has bothered him most of the season -- while running the bases. He is day to day.

I've been using this body wash for about 3-4 wks now. The vanilla mint aroma is nice for a wake me up in the mornings plus it also suds up really well. I haven't noticed much in the way of skin moisture vs. others I've tried but I would buy it again since it's a good quality in a large bottle for a decent price.
My new favorite.

I love this wash. The smell is not strong, but it is pleasant. The spearmint aspect is more noticeable than the vanilla to me, but you can smell both. It cleans well, rinses well, yet doesn't dry out my skin. The price and size make this a great value, and I intend to make this product a staple in my home.

This bottle is very economical. However, it's a bit too drying for my skin. I've been looking everywhere for a hydrating body wash, since the water at my new place is terrible, even with a filter. No such luck. :-/ Smells faintly of vanilla mint, not too strong for those sensitive to smells.

Home › Forums › General Forums › General Lightweight Backpacking Discussion › New Lightweight Convert…
May 12, 2009 at 7:22 am #1236258
Well, maybe. I'm a traditional backpacker who now has the 'means' to afford new gear, and am EXTREMELY excitied about venturing into the Ultra-light School of doing things.
I go on 1 (possibly 2, if its a great year) trip a year. I live in Florida unfortunately and have family commitments to 2 small kids and my wife, so I can't hike/camp as often as I want to.
Got a trip coming up to the Pecos Wilderness in NM. I'm gonna give it a go LightWeight style. I've noticed that I love being in the outdoors but I actually don't care for the hiking, its the camping that I love. End up cursing myself ("Why am I doing this?") after a day or two on the trail, before I get to camp and start enjoying things again.
I'm still compiling my .xls file with my current gear. Here are some basic questions I have. Yes, I've already searched the forum for the answers, but was wondering if anyone had anything else to add. Here goes:
1) I've got traditional hiking boots, and I going to 'convert' to lightweight trail-running shoes, which I think may end up being the biggest bang-for-my-buck. How 'heavy' can one go with most of these shoes? I'm thinking I probably won't get my weight down to the 12lb range…yet. At what pack-weight would you say to someone "Yeah, at that weight, you should start to think about traditional hiking boots?"
2) Shelter. I've got a Eureka! Zyphyr and its done right by me, but is pretty heavy at over 3 lbs. Looking into tarp systems or maybe even tarptent. I've got issues with bugs though, esp. since we love hiking in the desert southwest. Paranoid about snakes or scorpions crawling into my bag as its the only source of 'warmth' around. How 'unrealistic' is that? My hiking partner uses tarps on occasion, and it takes me 1/5 the time to put up my shelter when we get to camp, esp. when camping on rocky surfaces.
3) Pack. Ok, now here's the tough one. I've yet to decide 'how low I can go', but my Jansport Long Peak is way to heavy. It seems like most of these lightweight packs require you to commit to going really low, as they can't handle moderate loads. Esp. since I don't know how low my TOTAL weight will end up being. This is partly due to the fact that a lot of places we carry a fair amount of water (in the desert esp) as well as alot of food (we like to eat well in camp and on the trail). Are there 'intermediate' load packs out there that people would recommend a noob, that would allow for flexibility?
Thanks a bunch in advance. I can't tell you how stoked I am about this. I may actually, believe it or not, ENJOY the hiking itself once its all said and done.

@tippymcstaggerLocale: North Texas
1) Not just weight. Fitness, gait, trail surface, etc. You can do a lot of training on day hikes to discover your abilities.
2) Snuggling snakes would be all over the news. The few pictures I have seen of your area show forests and bald areas and lots of steep terrain. Depending on where you sleep you could choose any of the options out there. Hammocks are nice in trees. Bivys are great for rocky, scrubby, windy slopes. Choices could be limited by your partner's tarp. Will you need to be stuck under a canopy much?
3) Can't comment on those packs. At least part of your area is reputed to have reliable water. Your route could affect how much you carry.May 12, 2009 at 8:33 am #1500767

@rezniemLocale: San Francisco
You'll be amazed at how much you enjoy the hiking once you get rid of the heavy pack. Since I 'saw the light', I have done longer days but enjoyed the hiking part of the experience much, much more.
To answer your questions–simple drawcord bivy from Oware could keep out unwanted night-time visitors as well as shield you from the wind and provide additional warmth. Also, check out the bug bivies at the following sites: alpinlite.com mountainlaureldesigns.com and owareusa.com. I've slept out in the open plenty and never had a problem. Other people have done it much more than me and I haven't heard any horror stories here. (at least not as big a concern as bears and smokers, if the conversation around here is any indication.)
Another option is the incredibly light and mostly freestanding Terra Nova Photon elite, which you can pick up for a fairly decent price at moontrail.com.
This is double wall and will give you the protection you're used to.
I use Adidas Super Nova trail runners and love them. Steer clear of goretex in the shoes and you should be fine. Drying fast is the key. I've used trail running shoes with a pack weight up to 25-30 lbs and was fine.
Packs — have to buy this last so you know what you're putting into it. I really like the Osprey packs for a medium-weight alternative to the ultra-light frameless pack. I have a Jam2 that I use when the weather is nice and my pack weight is low. When I need to carry more weight I use an Osprey Stratos 40. It transfers the weight well and allows lots of circulation between the pack and my back, which is nice in hot/humid or rainy conditions.May 12, 2009 at 8:34 am #1500768

@benwoodLocale: flatlands of MO
first off, i live in NM, where are you going in the pecos and when? I love the pecos wilderness.
i think you may start to enjoy the hiking. i found that with a comfortable, light pack and comfortable footwear, hiking is the most enjoyable part. some traditional backpackers find the hiking a necessary evil to get all of their heavy gear to the campsite. i find that with a lighter pack i can cover more ground easier and really enjoy the breaks while still covering more ground than some others.
anyhow to answer your questions:
1- can't help you there as i use traditional hiking boots and really like them.
2- there are a number of options here. but there are 2 common ones. one is a tarptent, which are light and offer complete bug protection. the other is a tarp with a bugnet or bug bivy. mountain laurel designs sells lightweight tarps and bug protection. i am assuming you have already seen tarptent.com. i wouldn't worry too much about snakes and scorpions, etc. i have never had problems with any of these. they don't want anything to do with people and will avoid you when they can. if you go with a tarp, the more you use it the more you will get better at using it. just like anything else.
3- i have a granite gear nimbus latitude that i really like. i have only once had it near the recommended maximum weight, and it is very comfortable for me. what i like about granite gear packs is the quality frame mated to a lightweight bag. although my pack is not nearly as lightweight as most here. the best advice for pack purchases is to go to your local retailer and put weight in different packs and wear them around for awhile to see what fits you the best. since you may have to carry alot of water at times, you would want to look for a pack that can accomodate the water weight and then be compressed down comfortably when you are carrying less weight.
have a good trip to NM. hope this helps and remember just my thoughts.

I wear super-light innov8s with any load up to 30 #'s. So don't sweat it. Get some light shoes you'll love it. Get some insoles if you need arch support.
Gossamer gear packs are not the lightest but the gorilla and the Mariposa plus can both carry big 30# loads.
Be a man! Kill and eat the rattle snakes ans scorpions, then you can carry less food:)May 12, 2009 at 9:12 am #1500776

You are right on in trying to lighten 2 of the most important items in your arsenal: Your pack and your shelter. Lots of choices in those areas. Naturally, the next one would be your sleep system.
I don't know what the weather systems are like in the Pecos or when you are going, but since I was at Philmont Scout Ranch last year during monsoon season I would surely make sure to have a bathtub floor on any shelter I had. You can get a shelter with full bug protection and a bathtub floor starting at 18 ounces. You could do a bivy and a tarp for less.
Work on the weight of the big 3 and you can really go light.May 12, 2009 at 11:09 am #1500801
Thanks for the responses. I truly appreciate it.
Re: where and when. The current plan is to head to the Pecos in the last week of July (week of the 27th). Don't know what trail we are going to do- the Pecos map is 'in the mail', and once I get it, I've got to find a loop hike that will satisify my picky friend.
I am intrigued about a tarp to be honest. I've seen my buddy's bivy, and it seems waaaay to confining for me. A nice tarp could work though. I think the bugs/snakes issue is something that enters my mind at night, and not a real non-starter for me.
I will certainly look into to innov8 shoes. I actually was already looking at them, given that they were named in the Best of 2008 list on this site.
The only problem or concern I have it that I probably should get the shoes now, as I imagine they need 'breaking in' before I hit the trail. Also I'd like to try on the pack as well. My Jansport I bought sight unseen from Campmor many moons ago, and while its a sturdy pack, I've suffered from it not being the right pack for my torso. My shoulders ache from wearing it after about 3 hours or so.
The next hurdle is this: believe it or not, in Florida there is a paucity of hiking/camping gear stores. No REI, no Eastern Mountain or Eragon, etc. So, if I want to try something out for fit in the store, its gotta be carried by Sports Authority, or some other big box store. So, I'll have to hope and pray that they have a decent selection (I have yet to visit them).May 12, 2009 at 11:09 am #1500803

About the pack…
I suggest buying a used pack on this forum and giving it a try. It's a good way to experiment with different models, especially if you don't have a good store near you. You can always sell if on the forum if it doesn't suit you for not too much loss. By trying packs this way, you can narrow in on what you do and don't like in a pack without spending so much money.
If you want to try this route, then post a "WTB – pack" message on the Gear Swap forum, and see what options present themselves.

that should be a good time to be in the pecos. you need to be prepared for the afternoon rains as they start about that time of year. since you don't know where you are going yet let me offer a bit of advice – don't park a car near the rio quemado trailhead or the others nearby. this location suffers from vandalism. i have heard of people coming to their vehicle with no glass and slashed tires. apparently the local youth like to go party out there. anywhere else is safe and this sould not at all deter your trip. there are many good loops available as you will see when you get your map.
it is always a good idea to get shoes early to make sure they will fit good and be comfortable.
as far as the pack, you may want to look online for companies that offer free shipping and order packs from those companies, that way if they don't work you can get your money back.
how much weight do you expect to be carrying? 3 liters of water should be enough in the pecos as there are many water sources.May 12, 2009 at 2:46 pm #1500854

" I've seen my buddy's bivy, and it seems waaaay to confining for me. "
Well, it can be confining if you look at it that way. However, if you really think about it, it is quite liberating to sleep out in a bivy. If the weather is clear you basically have an open view to the stars. If there is a chance of weather you can start out with your head peeking out from under a tarp and still see the stars. If it starts to rain you just have to scoot back under.
When I was a kid I never slept in a tent while camping with the family. Nothing like going to sleep under the stars. I have a few real nice lightweight tarp tents but prefer the bivy for where I hike (Sierras) since I can sleep out under the stars. I use a tarp as a backup.
There are a lot of great articles relating to bivy usage on the site. I think you need a membership in order to read them. It's all a personal choice. I still use my tarptents when the weather is going to be constantly wet though.May 12, 2009 at 6:31 pm #1500899

If you use a sleeping bag, then you shouldn't find a bivy, which is OUTSIDE the bag, confining.
Now with a closed hood on a bivy, it may be a different ballgame, or if you want to sit up and change clothes in a bug free environment….
I'm a little claustrophobic but I've adapted to a bivy rather easily.May 12, 2009 at 10:27 pm #1500946

"The next hurdle is this: believe it or not, in Florida there is a paucity of hiking/camping gear stores. No REI, no Eastern Mountain or Eragon, etc. So, if I want to try something out for fit in the store, its gotta be carried by Sports Authority, or some other big box store. So, I'll have to hope and pray that they have a decent selection (I have yet to visit them)."
For the most part, you are not going to find a good lightweight pack in a big box store. And REI, et al are not going to carry the, even, lighter packs.
Gossamer Gear, Mountain Laurel Designs, Six Moon Designs, Ultralight Adventure Equipment, and others are small companies who make affordable and effiecient packs. Their websites have instructions for measuring fit. You can also call them and speak to the owner for help and customized solutions.
Read the reviews and posts here on BPL. Then as mentioned earlier, you can often buy a used pack here.May 12, 2009 at 10:43 pm #1500948

The ULA packs are some of the most popular packs for people who hike the PCT. Also the Gossamer Gear Mariposa or G4. On the PCT people carry lots of water and food so although all the rest of their gear may be light, the dang water cancels it all out. I used an Osprey last year. I thought at less than 4lbs it was a decent weight for a pack. And with carrying over 30lbs because of water and food, (and guide books and journals and battery chargers and other things I'd never have to carry normally) it worked very well.
As for shoes, my recommendation would be to start trying them now but don't be surprised if you have to go through a few brands before you find some you like. Once you do find some you like, put them aside until your trip. Don't use them too much. Light shoes break in quickly (often don't even need any break in) and don't last as long. If you're hiking in them every weekend from now until July, you'll wear them out.
A tarp can be pretty cheap. I have one of the Equinox/Campmor silnylon 8×10 ones. It's really cheap but it's great. I didn't expect to enjoy tarp camping so much. It may take me longer to set up, but setting it up is half the fun because I get to try new shapes. It's big enough that I don't think I would need a bivy to stay dry. But I got one of those, too, again a super cheap Equinox one. You actually don't even notice a bivy is there. It's not the same feeling as one of those tiny tents the normal outfitters call a bivy.
But if you are really concerned about having full enclosure, I think that the lightest tarp tents are going to be lighter than the tarp/bug net/bivy option most of the time. Or at least more easily and for less money. A tarp tent is my choice for buggy places.
You'll enjoy the hiking again once you reach the magic tipping point for you.May 13, 2009 at 10:20 am #1501019

I have a 50 litre (3000 inch cubed) GoLite Lite-Speed pack (2lbs, 10oz) which I love and it might be a good choice for you. It's heavier than GoLite's frameless packs like the Jam2 (also 50 litre) which is a pound lighter (1lbs, 10oz) but the advantage with the Lite-Speed is that you can remove the aluminum frame if you want, and thus save a good portion of that extra pound. So you are kinda getting both by buying the Lite-Speed.May 13, 2009 at 10:29 am #1501024

@hikinggrannyLocale: Gateway to Columbia River Gorge
On the pack–get the rest of your gear first, then get the pack. You don't want a pack whose volume is a lot bigger than your gear, but you don't want to have to tie stuff on the outside, either. Either situation is liable to throw the pack out of balance. I'd suggest one of the lighter (under 3 lbs.) semi-frameless packs that can carry up to 35 lbs. I have the Six Moon Designs Comet with the "optional" stays (mandatory, IMHO). It weighs just under 2 lbs. I easily carried up to 37 lbs. (well, easy on my back and shoulders, but murder on my knees and feet) on one occasion. This pack is on sale (closeout, unfortunately) right now, if the volume is OK for you. The ULA packs are also excellent as are others suggested in the above posts. I wouldn't use the ones that rely only on a pad for support unless you always have total pack weight under 25 lbs. This may be hard to do in places where you need to carry lots of water plus food for a week or more. Whatever pack you order, when you get it, load it up with all your gear plus the equivalent of a week's food and a couple quarts of water and carry it around the house for several hours. Boring, I know, but you need to be sure the pack fits you and comfortably carries the weight you'll put into it while it's still returnable. Pack fit is almost as individual as shoe fit. You will not find lightweight packs in standard sporting goods stores (except possibly Granite Gear or the Osprey Exos). You'll have to be prepared to pay return postage on a few before you get a comfortable pack. While I dislike REI and their advice, they do have a couple of good videos on fitting a pack that will help you. Be sure to get someone else to measure your torso length (bump on the back of your neck to a point level with the top of your hip bones)–when I tried to do it myself, I came out several inches different every time!
If you want a completely bug and critter-free enclosure, the lighter tents from Tarptent or Six Moon Designs are generally no heavier than tarp plus bivy plus bug net. It all depends on what you're comfortable with. Or, if you have the $$$ and want a strictly solo tent, Gossamer Gear's "The One." Gossamer Gear also is getting the Squall Classic (2-person) back in stock after almost a year's "drought" (they are starting to fill back order requests now). It's the same price as "The One."
Find a pair of comfortable trail running shoes and do some hikes in your neighborhood with pack weight similar to what you'll have on a backpack trip. Try to do this on rough or at least uneven ground if you can. If they work for you on rough ground with the pack, fine. If they don't, you can still wear them for exercise walking around home. When I got mine, I ordered two pair, not knowing which size I needed. I ended up keeping both–the larger for hiking, with thicker socks, and the smaller with thin socks for everyday wear. They're more comfortable and supportive than the running shoes I used to buy for everyday wear and about $20/pair cheaper! If you decide that boots work better for you, try to get a lightweight "mid" that's well-ventilated like a trail running shoe. Get it without goretex if you can (unfortunately, that's getting more and more difficult). My experience is that once goretex footwear gets wet inside, it takes days to dry!May 15, 2009 at 8:34 am #1501463

Where in Florida are you. I use to live in Bradenton. There are a couple of stores in that area. 1st is Bill Jacksons at 9501 U.S. 19 North, Pinellas Park, Florida 33782 – phone 727.576.4169. 2nd is Environeers at 5373 Fruitville Road, Sarasota, FL 34232 – phone 941.371.6208. I have been to both and they are good shops.
Also in the Sarasota area is a good fabric store if you want to make your own gear. Quest Outfitters at 4919 Hubner Circle, Sarasota, FL 34241 – phone 800.359.6931.
As far as boots or trail runners. Make sure your ankles are strong enough for the trails your on with sneakers and there is less ankle support. The more you hike the better. Also make sure you have proper fit. check thread. http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=21052&skip_to_post=168948#168948
Also I like tarp tents no brand specific. but with just a tarp setup you would more than likely also need a bivy for wind and added protection from rain.
Packs again get one that fits your torso. You may not find something at a local store but they may be able to help with sizing.May 15, 2009 at 8:37 am #1501465

X2 on Travel Country in Altamonte Springs. I too, live in Florida and know what it is like to not have a good variety of 'specialized' stores. When it comes to a pack, I strongly emphasize the need to try them on. One might have a preconceived notion about a particular pack's features, etc., only to order it in the mail, try it on and be uncomfortable. At Travel Country (like any other good shop), they had me try on quite a few packs meeting my criteria. Each one was stuffed with weight bags and I walked around the store with them. I view a pack like a piece of clothing; if it doesn't fit right then I'm going to be uncomfortable.
I drove all the way up to them from Boynton Beach, but it was worth it!
Enjoy your travels.
ChrisMay 17, 2009 at 7:15 am #1501754
Thanks for the advice!
Wolftracker: I also live in Boynton Beach! And I actually went up to Orlando this weekend, but it was an EXTREMELY short trip and didn't get a chance to visit Travel Country. I probably should go give them a look sometime soon.
Also, living in Florida, what do you do to get 'trail-ready'? For a lot of the other people on this board, they've got easy access to mountains and terrain. For my upcoming July trip, I've started doing the stair-master and the gym (the one with *actual steps* like a stairwell). I still remember my last hiking trip after moving to Florida. My friend and I were sucking MAJOR wind climbing out of Woodenshoe Canyon in the Dark Canyon Wilderness. We were probably at around .75 mph, or thereabouts. Not fun, and looking to try to avoid a repeat. Hopefully going light will be part of the solution.May 17, 2009 at 3:21 pm #1501815

Another vote for Travel Country in Altamonte Springs (NW Orlando). I too, drive up there from south Florida.
However, most all of my purchases are from the fantastic cottage industry that produces top quality ultralight gear that mainstream manufacturers simply do not offer. The reason is that mainstream manufacturers sell to mainstream users who do not know how to handle ultralight gear, and that's fine.
Going light not only makes me feel like I'm just out for a walk in the woods but it also allows me to bring extra luxuries or toys, if I so choose, without being "the straw that broke the camels back."

9/11 Tributes in Photos
Posted by Holly Hughes on Friday September 9, 2011 | Photos In The News
Posted by Holly Hughes on Friday September 9, 2011 | Photos In The News
The September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City was the most photographed terrorist act — and perhaps the most photographed single news event– in history. Photography also played an important role in efforts to comprehend the grief, loss, and actions that followed. On the tenth anniversary of the attacks, photographs –taken before, during and after that day – form the centerpiece for numerous cultural events and public reflections. Here is a partial list of exhibitions and online galleries.
Exhibits and Events

"Remembering 9/11"
The International Center of Photography has collaborated with the National September 11 Memorial Museum on "Remembering 9/11," a five-part exhibition: "Memory Remains: 9/11 Artifacts at Hangar 17;" photographs from Eugene Richards's Stepping Through the Ashes; a five-channel video installation, cedarliberty, by Elena del Rivero and Leslie McCleave; "Above Ground Zero," photographs and proof sheets by Gregg Brown; and excerpts from the storefront exhibition that opened in New York shortly after 9/11, "here is new york: a democracy of photographs." Through January 8. International Center of Photography, 1133 Avenue of the Americas at 43rd Street, New York.

For more information visit www.mcny.org/exhibitions/current/Twin-Towers-Vergara.html or call 212-534-1672

Julie Saul Gallery 535 West 22nd Street, New York
"Nights of 9/11: Photographs of Hale Gurland"
Gurland is a sculptor and photographer in Tribeca who helped with the rescue and recovery mission on the night of 9/11.

The opening reception is on Saturday, September 10 from 5 to 9 p.m. 143 Main Street, Beacon, New York, 12508. www.foveaexhibitions.org
"John Botte – The 9/11 Photographs" As a former NYPD detective and first responder, Botte had access to Ground Zero in the days and weeks after the 9/11 attacks. Botte calls his 9/11-related images "a permanent tribute to the people who shaped me as a person and professional – to the friends I lost and the ones I never got a chance to make." Curated by photographer Timothy White, the exhibition runs through September 24. Calumet Gallery, 22 West 22nd Street, New York.
Frank Schramm's "In Shock, Reporting Live from Ground Zero"
Portraits of television reporters off camera, part of the program on 9/11 and the media at the Paley Center for Media in New York, 25 West 52 Street New York. Through September 25.

The magazine's special feature, "Beyond 9/11: Portraits of Resilience" features portraits and video interviews by photographer Marco Grob with more than 40 individuals who "les us, moved us and inspired us, from the morning of the attacks through the tumultuous decade that followed."
Witness to History: The Photographers of 9/11
Video recounts the events of 9/11 through the words and images of photographers who working that day, including Richard Drew, David Handschuh, Shannon Stapleton, and Thomas E.

Kingborough Council is currently made up of ten elected Councillors, including the Mayor, Cr Steve Wass.
Recent changes to the local government electoral system provide for the introduction of all-in, all-out local government elections every four years, with four-year terms for mayors and deputy mayors.
Council meetings are usually held on the fourth Monday of each month and the public are welcome to attend. Council has to consider a large volume of business so a Council Committee structure is used to help streamline the high workload. Council and Committee meetings, which are open to the public, are audio recorded and made available on Council's website.
The Kingborough Strategic Plan 2015-2025 forms the basis for Council to develop and deliver plans into the future and determines priorities upon which future resource allocation decisions are made. The Strategic Plan is supported by the Strategic Delivery Plan 2015 – 2020 and the Annual Plan. Copies of all Plans are available in the Publications section of the website

Barcelona is a banquet for all the senses, though perhaps mainly for sight. Not far behind are the pleasures of the palate. The air temperature is almost always about right, more and more streets are pedestrianized, and tavern after tavern burrows elegantly into medieval walls. Every now and then the fragrance of the sea in the port or in Barceloneta reminds you that this is, after all, a giant seaport and beach city, with an ancient Mediterranean tradition that is, at the outset of its third millennium, flourishing—and bewitching visitors as it has for centuries. Today new architecture and design—including some of Europe's hottest new fashions in hip boutiques—provide the city with an exciting effervescent edge.

Among the other texts I'm hoping to have ready for the bookfair is Gray Light, by Paul Brown, the early American communist, friend of Josiah Warren, enemy of Robert Owen, etc. It is an interesting, sometimes frustrating, but also unjustly neglected work of more or less libertarian communism, which has not, as far as I can see, ever been published as a separate work, after its run in the New-Harmony Gazette. Its serial run was thirty-two installments, over parts of three years, and the originals are of poor enough quality that I'm having to type the whole thing in by hand, but I think it will be worth the trouble to begin to reestablish Brown in his proper place in our radical histories. Once Gray Light is finished, I have some essays from the Boston Investigator that I'll probably transcribe. You can get a taste of Brown's idiosyncratic style in the portions of Gray Light I have already uploaded.
The third in-progress project is a translation of Ravachol—the Man with the Dynamite, a popular fictional account of the life and deeds of the in/famous anarchist. I had begun to work on this about a year ago, when other things took precedence, and it's been hard to find an excuse to come back to it at all seriously. Among other things, it's a fairly massive tome, and there are a lot of more significant projects already in the queue. But I've been working hard to get together the first three issues of the forthcoming Corvus monthly, M. Courbeau's Gallery of Rogues, which will be a collection of biographical and autobiographical writings about anarchists and fellow travelers, and it struck me that a serial publication of the Ravachol book might be a fun addition to that project. So here we go. The first chapter is now online.

Search and rescue operations during a Donetsk spark cave finished Thursday after rescuers took out a bodies of 33 miners who died in a collision that happened on Wednesday morning, internal authorities said, SIA informs citing the AA.
Aleksey Kostrubitskiy, the eastern Ukrainian self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic's puncture minister, said that 15 miners, who were harmed in a incident, were taken to an area hospital.
He combined that some-more than 200 rescuers had taken partial in a hunt and rescue efforts.
The apportion also pronounced that officials were questioning a means of a accident, though initial reports contend a methane gas blast is to blame.
The Zasyadko spark cave was non-stop in 1958 and produced 144 million tons of spark in 2013.
Six large incidents took place during this cave in a past 15 years, claiming a lives of 244 miners.

Serve an API backed blog with Public (available to everyone) and Private posts (have to log in to see).
We are going to go through the full process for doing this project, including seting up Mirage and Testing our way through. Follow along below or grab the code on github .
ember new ember-jwt-esa-blog`
- We'll be using Ember Simple Auth for authentication
- Our API was built in this previous tutorial ( JWT + JSON API)
- We'll use Mirage to mock the API for testing
What We're Making, More Detail
Public Posts
- List of public posts on left
- User not logged in– show a login form
- User logged in– show a button to log out in place of the form
- User not logged in– show a notice to login
- User logged in– Show a lists of posts
In terms of components
{{public-posts}}— A list of all public posts
{{blog-post}}— A single post
{{login-form}}— A form to help users login / logout
{{private-posts}}— A list of all private posts
Mocking The Backend & TDD for Public Posts
Installing and Configuring Mirage
Mirage allows us to fake our API so far as that we can use for testing and development.
ember install [email protected]
We'll start by configuring mirage to handle our public posts.
When we do
GET /public-posts from an ajax call, we'll get a JSON API compliant object back with posts (which is exactly howour API responds). For Mirage to do this we'll need to create a
publicPost mirage-model and a
publicPost mirage-factory to start.
Mirage models create tables in Mirage's in memory database, while factories are the blueprints for what the data should look like in those tables.
ember g mirage-model publicPost ember g mirage-factory publicPost
We don't have to do anything with the model out of the box.
For the factory, we'll need to describe what kind of data we'll want back. This should make the Schema from the API
PublicPost(title:string, body:text, type:string) .
// mirage/factories/public-post.js import { Factory, faker } from 'ember-cli-mirage'; export default Factory.extend({ body: faker.lorem.words(), title: faker.lorem.paragraphs(), createdAt: faker.date.past() });
Mirage is using faker to generate realistic fake data. Check it out for additional methods you could use in your factories.
So far, we have a fake table to store our
public-posts , and a blueprint to describe what that data should look like, but we are missing a way to associate a route (e.g.
GET /public-posts ) to that data. So, similar to
router.js in Ember we are able to describe these mock mappings in mirage/config.js.
// mirage/config.js export default function() { this.get('/public-posts'); }
To better understand what Mirage is doing here, I recommend reading the concerning docs or more specifically about the shorthands , which allow for such expressive statements.
Now that we've modeled
PublicPosts from the backend, let's move on to write some acceptance tests to help us implement
PublicPosts on the front-end.
Acceptance Test for Public Posts
ember g acceptance-test public-posts
(I've left notes in the comments)
import { test } from 'qunit'; import moduleForAcceptance from 'ember-jwt-esa-blog/tests/helpers/module-for-acceptance'; moduleForAcceptance('Acceptance | public posts'); test('public posts on /', function(assert) { visit('/'); // Here is where we are telling mirage // to stick 5 public posts, generated from // our blueprint, into the public-post table // available from our api server.createList('public-post', 5); // the server variable is something that // mirage gives us. andThen(function() { // We're saying that the css class // `.public-post` would be used on a // display container for any public posts, // and based on our `server.createList`, // we exepct there should be 5 assert.equal( find('.public-post').length, 5, 'We can see all the public posts on /' ); }); });
And now if we
ember serve and visit
http://localhost:4200/tests , Yay! Failing test!
( code checkpoint )
Let's work naïvely from the router down. This way, the errors will guide us through the implementation. I'll start by generating the application route and trying to pass in
PublicPosts through the model hook.
ember g route application
And then...
// app/routes/application.js import Ember from 'ember'; export default Ember.Route.extend({ model() { return this.store.findAll('publicPost'); } });
Cool, so now our tests are throwing
Error: No model was found for 'publicPost' . So let's generate that:
ember g model publicPost
Since we know what attributes we're supposed to have on the model, let's dive down a level and write a unit test. While this is not 100% necessary, I think it's a good practice and helps us be intentional about what gets added/removed from the model.
What we want to test:
- We have the correct number of attributes on the model
- Our attributes match the Schema (i.e. title, body, and createdAt)
// test/unit/models/public-post.js import { moduleForModel, test } from 'ember-qunit'; moduleForModel('public-post', 'Unit | Model | public post', { }); test('has correct attributes', function(assert) { let model = this.subject(); // Converts props on our model to array const actualAttributes = Object.keys(model.toJSON()); // Should have the same values as this array const correctAttributes = [ 'title', 'body', 'createdAt' ]; assert.equal( actualAttributes.length, correctAttributes.length, `We are expecting ${correctAttributes.lenght} attributes, and have found ${actualAttributes.length}` ); // Loop through the keys and check them one at a time actualAttributes.forEach((actualKey) => { assert.equal( correctAttributes.indexOf(actualKey) > -1, true, `We are expecting ${actualKey} to be in the list of correctAttributes` ); }); });
Now let's lock the tests to
Unit | Model | public post and get'em green.
import Model from 'ember-data/model'; import attr from 'ember-data/attr'; export default Model.extend({ title: attr('string'), body: attr('string'), createdAt: attr('date') });
And now we can go back to filter for all...
We know we have the correct public posts model, and we have that loading with the
/ route, so what's left?
We need to actually display them!
// app/templates/application.hbs {{#each model as |post|}}
 {{post.title}}
 {{else}} No Public Posts Found! {{/each}}
:boom: passing tests!
Below is a screenshot from
pauseTest(); , where we can preview Mirage doing its thing.
( code checkpoint )
Let's take a moment to refactor towards the component structure we decided on about for
{{public-post}} . And now, our acceptance test will help ensure we don't mess stuff up as we do.
{{public-post}}: Minor Refactor #1
ember g component public-posts --pod
// app/templates/application.hbs {{public-posts posts=model}}
Notice we are changing the variable to be named
posts .
// app/components/public-post/template.hbs {{#each posts as |post|}}
 {{post.title}}
 {{else}} No Public Posts Found! {{/each}}
Our previous acceptance test is now green, but a component integration test is blowing up.
This test was generated with our component... let's change it to be more of a sanity check. We are just going to render the component, and expect some type of class on the components wrapper for now:
import { moduleForComponent, test } from 'ember-qunit'; import hbs from 'htmlbars-inline-precompile'; moduleForComponent('public-posts', 'Integration | Component | public posts', { integration: true }); test('it renders', function(assert) { this.render(hbs`{{public-posts}}`); assert.equal(this.$('.public-posts-component').length, 1); });
And add a CSS class name to our component wrapper to make it pass.
// app/components/public-post/component.js import Ember from 'ember'; export default Ember.Component.extend({ classNames: ['public-posts-component'] });
:boom: Passing tests!
( code checkpoinst )
And now let's make one more refactor for our
{{blog-post}} component.
{{blog-post}} Minor Refactor #2
ember g component blog-post --pod
// app/components/public-post/template.hbs {{#each posts as |post|}} {{blog-post title=post.title body=post.body}} {{else}} No Public Posts Found! {{/each}}
At this point our tests are passing, but nothing is showing up! Let's use this moment to make use of the component integration test that was generated for us with
// tests/integration/components/blog-post/component-test.js import { moduleForComponent, test } from 'ember-qunit'; import hbs from 'htmlbars-inline-precompile'; moduleForComponent('blog-post', 'Integration | Component | blog post', { integration: true }); test('it renders', function(assert) { const title = 'Blog Post Title'; this.set('title', title); const body = 'Now is the time for all good robots...'; this.set('body', body); this.render(hbs`{{blog-post title=title body=body}}`); assert.equal(this.$('.blog-post-title').text().trim(), title); assert.equal(this.$('.blog-post-body').text().trim(), body); });
And now, great!! Failing tests. Once we implement this functinality, we'll be sure to have generally the right thing showing on screen.
// app/components/blog-post/template.hbs

 {{title}}

 {{body}}

YAY! Green tests.
( code checkpoinst )
Cut over to live API
We've been working out of tests this whole time, without much going on for
http://localhost:4200 .
Let's go ahead and cut over to our live api for a sanity check on our progress. This is the one we made inthis tutorial, which I'm going to assume is running on
http://localhost:3000 .
If setting up the API is an issue, please let me know on twitter @ryanlabouve and I'd be happy to deploy to heroku and swap tutorial to use external link
ember g adapter application
By default, this is DS.JSONAPIAdapter , which is what we want.
Inside the environment, we'll want to configure our host name (i.e.
http://localhost:3000 ) and make sure Mirage is only turned on for the test environment.
// config/environment.js // Disable mirage by default ENV['ember-cli-mirage'] = { enabled: false }; if (environment === 'development') { ENV.host = 'http://localhost:3000'; } if (environment === 'test') { // remove host address for tests // so the paths display omits the url ENV.host = ''; // Turn on mirage only for testing ENV['ember-cli-mirage'] = { enabled: true }; }
Then inside the generated adapter.
import JSONAPIAdapter from 'ember-data/adapters/json-api'; import config from '../config/environment'; const { host } = config; export default JSONAPIAdapter.extend({ host });
And now if we look at our browser, we should see a lot of posts loading from the api!
This is actually quite cool. We've implemented all of this without a live API, and then we cutover to the actually API and it just works.
( checkpoint, level complete )
Now that we have our API hooked up and public information flowing correctly, next up is working on Ember Simple Auth, Logging in and Out, and Private Posts! See ya next time!
