Sending strong signal that he will bid adieu to Congress very soon, the party MP from Anantapur Parliamentary Constituency Ananta venkatarami Reddy on Wednesday extended solidarity with YSR Congress Party President YS Jaganmohan Reddy at the latter's deeskha site where Jagan sat on indefinite hunger strike against the bifurcation of state.
The Congress MP raised a banner of revolt against Congress high command for its endorsement to the formation of Telangana and also fought tooth and nail against the party's decision in the Parliament and public platform. Reddy said he was supporting Jagan deeksha to united Andhra cause. He also enquired Jagan's health condition during meeting.
In yet another shock, Congress MLA from Jammalamadugu Assembly Constituency Adinarayana Reddy joined the YSR Congress party in the presence of Jagan. The Congress MLA arrived the deeksha site at Lotus pond with his supporters and announced to serve the Jagan's party. Reddy has been maintaining distance to Congress since the party approved the bifurcation of state.
The former minister P Vishwaroop, who recently quit the Congress and minister post, also set to join YSR Congress on October 18 in the presence of Jagan.

With MCI WorldCom ruling itself out of the bidding on Friday afternoon, that left only Bell Atlantic, the company that put AirTouch into play with a New Year's Eve $45bn all-stock bid, in the running against Vodafone.
There have been rumours that the three companies might get together. One notion is that Vodafone would spin off AirTouch's US operations to Bell Atlantic after completing its deal for the company, which has extensive operations in the parts of Europe where Vodafone is absent.
A second notion is that the newly merged Anglo-American mobile phone company, VodaTouch, might enter into a joint venture with Bell Atlantic to offer a combination of fixed-wire and wireless telecommunications services.
But on Friday, a Vodafone spokesman downplayed talk of a three-way deal. "We may not have been interested in the US in the past," he said. "But we are interested now, because our European businesses are more mature. We have made a bid for the whole of AirTouch, including its US operations."
Andrew Webber, a telecoms analyst at management consultants Arthur D Little in London, endorses AirTouch's take-all strategy. The fit between the two companies begins, he says, with the fact that there is almost no overlap between their European operations. "Together, they have the second [largest mobile phone operation] in almost every European country," he says, "with 20 to 30 per cent of the market in each."
But a total merger between the two companies makes most sense, Mr Webber continues, when you look into the future. A transatlantic company offering one mobile phone service to businessmen would be attractive - although, Mr Webber adds: "The best mobile phone customers are not executives, they are jobbing builders and plumbers using their mobiles all day long."
The real benefits of a merger, he concludes, will only become apparent when the next generation of mobile phones comes along, allowing users to link into data transmission devices.
"Then you could imagine VodaTouch being the logical phone company to sign deals with Microsoft and Disney or News Corp," he says.
The price Vodafone is prepared to pay is high, according to analysts. It represents a premium of 50 per cent over the stock market value of the San Francisco-based company before Bell Atlantic made its bid.
But, suggests Dresdner Kleinwort Benson analyst James Dodd, wireless is shaping up to be the hot area of the hot telecoms industry in 1999.

"Valentine's Day" poised for box-office win
By Carl DiOrio
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Garry Marshall's "Valentine's Day," which opens Friday, is a prohibitive favorite to top the four-day frame that includes the movie's namesake holiday and Presidents Day.
The ensemble romantic comedy from Warner Bros. is expected to claim the weekend's box-office crown with $45 million or more in domestic receipts.
Two other big pictures also are set to bow wide. Twentieth Century Fox sends out kids' movie "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief," while Universal debuts the Benicio Del Toro-starring horror remake "The Wolfman."
Date-movie couples will represent key support for "Valentine's," though the PG-13 movie is expected to skew heavily female. Figuring among "Valentine's" cast are Anne Hathaway, Topher Grace, Jennifer Garner, Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Biel, Patrick Dempsey, Jessica Alba, Taylor Lautner, Queen Latifah and Jamie Foxx.
"We're going to have a big weekend," Warners distribution chief Dan Fellman said. "All the stars are aligned, no pun intended."
Directed by Chris Columbus -- who's touted in "Percy" commercials as a "Harry Potter" helmer -- PG-rated "Percy" features teen Logan Lerman in the title role. Based on a series of youth adventure novels, "Percy" should pull in upward of $30 million through Monday.
"There could be a bit of a traffic jam this weekend," Fox distribution boss Bruce Snyder said. "But we're well positioned with a family movie, as there hasn't been one for a couple weeks."
The release of the Joe Johnston-directed "Wolfman," co-starring Anthony Hopkins, was delayed four times because of production and marketing considerations. The film originally was set to unspool in November 2008. Continued...

|Mystery rider on a '41 Matchless G3L 350cc military bike
Artist Nick Veasey has been messing around with x-rays ever since he was hired to x-ray a cola can for a TV show in England, when he was a relatively unknown still photographer. He took the opportunity to also shoot his shoe, and was so intrigued with the process he eventually purchased a surplus x-ray machine, and built a bunker inside a warehouse with 30" thick walls and a 2300lb lead door to keep himself safe. While medical x-ray stations have minimal beams directed at very specific, small areas, shooting much larger objects, like guns, motorcycles and even a Boeing 777 jet, meant hospital-style shielding was out of the question. To be clear, Veasey doesn't shoot a whole motorcycle in one go - he shoots it section by section, then has helpers Photoshop the pieces together into a whole. His most recent project, as reported in Wired.com yesterday, was a series of vintage motorcycles, borrowed from a local club. He also installed a handy skeleton prop on a few of the bikes, and later shot the clothing, which was all blended later. I've been a fan of his work for years, as who isn't fascinated by x-rays?
|Nick Veasey developing one of his x-rays in his studio
Here's Veasey's artist statement from his website: "We live in a world obsessed with image. What we look like, what our clothes look like, houses, cars… I like to counter this obsession with superficial appearance by using x-rays to strip back the layers and show what it is like under the surface. Often the integral beauty adds intrigue to the familiar. We all make assumptions based on the external visual aspects of what surrounds us and we are attracted to people and forms that are aesthetically pleasing. I like to challenge this automatic way that we react to just physical appearance by highlighting the, often surprising, inner beauty.
This society of ours, consumed as it is by image, is also becoming increasingly controlled by security and surveillance. Take a flight, or go into a high profile courtroom and your belongings will be x-rayed. The post arriving in corporations and government departments has often been x-rayed. Security cameras track our every move. Mobile phone receptions place us at any given time. Information is key to the fight against whatever we are meant to be fighting against. To create art with equipment and technology designed to help big brother delve deeper, to use some of that fancy complicated gadgetry that helps remove the freedom and individuality in our lives, to use that apparatus to create beauty brings a smile to my face.

To mix my metaphors, we all know we shouldn't judge a book by its cover, that beauty is more than skin deep. By revealing the inside, the quintessential element of my art speculates upon what the manufactured and natural world really consists of."

President Clinton today played down his role in the Democratic National Committee's hiring of John Huang as a fund-raiser, saying he would have ''referred virtually anybody's name to the party'' if that person had volunteered to raise money for the campaign.
The President also said at a news conference here that he had ''no knowledge'' of whether the Chinese Government had tried to influence American elections through contributions. Senator Fred Thompson, the Tennessee Republican who heads the Senate committee investigating campaign finance practices, said on Tuesday that China had spent ''substantial sums of money'' on the 1996 campaigns.
Mr. Clinton said that until the facts were established, such an accusation ''can't in any way, and shouldn't, affect the larger, long-term strategic interests of the American people and our foreign policy.''
The President answered the questions on campaign finance on the second day of a NATO summit meeting at which the Western alliance moved to open its doors to Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic. While the President sought to use the news conference to begin selling NATO's expansion to the American public, domestic issues, including the campaign finance questions, repeatedly intruded.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Huang, who was in charge of Democratic fund-raising among Asian-Americans in the 1996 campaign, is a central figure in the Senate inquiry because $1.6 million he raised has been returned by the Democrats as either questionable or unlawful donations. Investigators have been trying to find out the true sources of the money and the motives of the donors.
Mr. Huang was the former head of United States operations for the Lippo Group, the Indonesian banking conglomerate of the Riady family, longtime patrons of Bill Clinton. Mr. Huang became a Commerce Department official in 1994, and in early 1996 he was named vice chairman for finance of the Democratic National Committee. Mr. Huang had appealed to Mr. Clinton for the fund-raising post in September 1995, and Congressional investigators say the President took a personal interest in Mr. Huang's hiring.
Mr. Clinton today gave only a sketchy account of why he had intervened on behalf of Mr. Huang, saying, ''I can only tell you what I recall about that.''
The President said that Mr. Huang ''at some point, when I saw him in 1995, expressed an interest in going to work to try to help raise money for the Democratic Party. And I think I may have said to someone that he wanted to go to work for the D.N.C.''
Mr. Clinton said he did not remember whom he contacted, ''but I believe I did say that to someone. And I wish I could tell you more. That's all I know about it.''
White House officials have acknowledged that the President met in the Oval Office in September 1995 with Mr. Huang; James T. Riady, a top executive of the Lippo Group, and Bruce R. Lindsey, the White House deputy counsel, in what they described primarily as a ''social visit.'' They said Mr. Huang told the President he wanted to raise money for the Democrats.
Marvin S. Rosen, the finance chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has told Senate investigators that two months later, Mr. Clinton asked him about Mr. Huang's status, telling him that Mr. Huang had come ''highly recommended.'' Five days later, Mr. Huang accepted a job as vice chairman for finance.
The President said today he had known Mr. Huang since he was Governor of Arkansas. But he portrayed his interest in hiring Mr. Huang as nothing out of the ordinary.
''Most people don't volunteer to help you raise money in this world,'' Mr. Clinton said. ''It's normally an onerous task. And so if anybody volunteered I would have referred virtually anybody's name to the party.''
As he did earlier this year in response to the first suspicions that China tried to use campaign contributions to influence American politics, the President said he did not know whether the accusations were true.
China has repeatedly denied the accusations. Senator Thompson offered no details on Tuesday, saying the information obtained by the committee was sensitive and could not be discussed in open session.
Mr. Clinton called the Senator's assertion ''a serious charge,'' adding, ''If any country -- any country -- sought to influence policy through illegal means, including illegal campaign contributions to people running for President or people in the Congress, it would be wrong and a matter of serious concern.''
Mr. Clinton said he expected ''the most vigorous possible investigation by the Justice Department.'' When he had the facts, he said, ''we will act in an appropriate fashion.Continue reading the main story

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › making the transition, seeking help with gear
Oct 17, 2008 at 10:20 pm #1231583
I am making the transition to ultralight gear.
current gear:
-arcteryx bora 80 pack
-big agnes pitch pine + insulated air core pad
-msr miniworks water filter
-caldera cone setup w/1.3liter titanium evernew
– mountain hardwear hammerhead 2 tent
the tent is around 7lbs, the msr is really too heavy, the bora 80 is a long distance winter pack, so i will need a new pack as well. i think the big agnes is fine, the pitch pine is one of the lightest bags there are.
so those are the big weights guys, now to lighten up. I would like you guys to recommend me a tent that is strong, i don want a tarp that will leak in the tub, and blow over in a storm. I prefer some strength, weatherproffness. As far as weight, sub 3 lbs. I am considering hammocks, but am turned off because of the winter issues with them. I also need some filtration suggestions. I was thinking of iodine with a gold coffee filter for the floaties.
As far as packs, i need something that balances and is comfortable. the whole point of going light is comfort, and i do not want a superlight pack that pulls on my shoulders or does'nt provide comfort. I am looking for 2lbs or less in a pack. Current considerations: ULA packs, Aarn packs, Mariposa plus, golite pinnacle. Aarn packs fascinate me the most, and i think while they weigh more, they will feel lighter.
also for fall and winter clothing: i need some ultralight ideas for clothes for these seasons. The coldest temps i will probably encounter will be 30F.

Please take no offense but I smell a noob. LOL I am more of a lurker than a contributor on this forum but I would say that everyone has an opinion. I still use primitive camping gear because it is lite and I like it but on to your question. I would read through the gear lists to get ideas. If you have not I would also recommend picking up the backpackinglight book. Ultra lite is more a state of mind than strictly gear. I would also suggest you find someone around you that is an ultra lite (if possible) and try their gear if they let you. I am sorry I am not more help but I do not use modern packs, tents, or clothes. Best of luck with your transition. TFKOct 18, 2008 at 8:24 am #1454984
i am new to ultralight hiking. but have been hiking since i was a child with my father. I know a great deal about natrual survival, so ultralight techniques are nothing new to me. I have taken several mountaineering courses while at university and have experience through two survival courses. I have been hunting and fishing all my life. None of this is new to me except the gear. We never had any nice gear and never needed any. Just now i am deciding to invest in this stuff. So i am new to these technologies, but as far as the strategies employed such as living off hte land, fire starting, food catching/gathering, constructing shelters, natrual navigation, finding water, etc, none of that is new. my issue is the new technology. I do not have time to sit around and read all the reviews of new gear, nor stay up-to-date daily with what comes out. so i simply need suggestions about the new technologies in clothing, shelter, etc.Oct 18, 2008 at 9:32 am #1454988

Isaac, It sound like you are making the the same step I did a little over a year ago. I went from a base weight of around 27 lbs to 14 lbs by swapping out some of my big items. Here is what I moved to…
pack = Gregory G-Pack (2.7 lbs)
bag = marmot hydrogen 30 degree bag (1.4 lbs)
pad = ridge rest (9 ounces)
tent = MSR Hubba (3.2 lbs)
rain suit = marmot precip (1.3 lbs)
Though these are not the kind of items that gain much attention here I would recommend each of them for an initial peak into lighweight hiking. Some other options might be a Granite Gear Vapor Trail Pack or a Big Agnes Seedhouse SL1.
Side note…I found I gained so much freedom by dropping 10+ lbs I wanted more and fast. I have swapped out most of my items at least one time over as I explored different light weight techiniques. Now I'm down to 5-6 lbs for my base weight. Only problem is it isn't cheap.

@highlander366Locale: Idaho
Issac seems that we may have had the same tastes in gear. My first set of bping purchases looked like this:
Arcteryx Bora 80
Big Agnes Encampment + Insul. Air Core
(No filter)
Optimus Nova Stove
Sierra Designs Omega
Total Weight – 363.5 oz. or 22.72#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Current Gear:
ULA Circuit
Western Mountaineering Megalite/ Z Lite
Aqua Mira
White Box Stove
Tarptent Double Rainbow
Total Weight – 129.6 oz. or 8.1# (Weight Savings – 14.62#)
I love all my gear and really have no desire to change any of it. The only exception is I am starting to jump into MYOG and want to make a tarp. TT DR is not big enough for me and the two kids.
To answer some of your questions:
Ref filters – Aqua Mira and a bandana work awesome and weigh little.
Cold Temps – I use Patagonia R1 top and bottoms, Smartwool socks, Icebreaker gloves, Smartwool beanie, and a Western Mount. Flash Jacket. This can take me below 30. My rain wear I have Precip tops and bottoms, both work great in mod-heavy rain plus cut the wind quite well.
Hope this helps…Oct 18, 2008 at 11:33 am #1455007

Isaac, It depends on the weather…but on my last trip it looked like this for the major items (20 degree plus weather)…
Pack – Golite Jam2 – 19 oz (trimmed straps, removed hydration sleeve, dropped sternum strap)
Bag – Golite Ultra 20 quilt – 18.65 oz (dropped the under straps)
Bivy – Montbell Breeze Dry Tec – 6.3 oz
Pad – Gos Gear Thinlight – 3.4 oz (trimmed to 38")
Tarp – Integral Design 5×8 silnylon – 6.8 oz
8 Ti stake and 24' spectraline – 3 oz
Insulating Jacket – Montbell UL down inner – 6.9 oz
Rain Jacket – Golite Virga – 8.25 oz
Rain Pants – Golite Reeds – 4.75 oz (I removed the zippers)
Stove – Homemade V8 Can (0.30 oz)
Ti Mug/Pot – Brasslight 550 w/lid and handles – 3.15 oz
Light – Photon X – 0.3 oz
knife – swiss army classic – 0.75 oz
water purification – Katadyn Micropur Tablets < 1 oz
other clothes – fleece hat (1 oz) and gloves (1 oz)
plus other small misc items.
If it is going to be 40+ degrees and only a few nights I can get by with…
Pack – Golite Ion – 7 oz (removed sternum strap and hi strap)
Bag – Montbell Down Thermal Sheet – 14.5 oz
Tarp/Rain Gear – Integral Designs SilPoncho – 8.65
WindShirt – Golite Wisp – 2.85 oz
Drop the rainjacket and pants (use poncho)
Keep the other items (bivy, light, stove, pot, etc).
The thing was I had to learn to reduce my gear enough to no longer need a framed pack, I had to learn to not be afraid to sleep outside a tent (my personal issue) and to be ok with solo travel, I had to learn how to pack a frameless pack, sleep using a quilt and pad, I needed to think through first aid situations, learn to cook, eat, drink from one pot using minimal fuel, etc. The trick was I didn't do it at once, each trip I decided to try something new. It has been a blast.

Hi Isaac,
Like you currently, I went through the same progression to "lightitude" a few years ago. I was also coming from a lifetime of outdoor experience, working in both outdoor retail and experiential education. A big part of the transition for me was mountaineering; self-supported trips required a critical eye when it came to what gear made the cut. A rock rack, screws, deadmen, pickets, ice tools, ropes; that stuff weighs a ton, but you're not climbing anything without it! Anyways …
Something like the Gregory G-Pack (I still use mine) or maybe the REI Cruise UL would be a good place to start. Not too expensive, still has a good frame so it can support a decent amount of weight while you make the transition, and pretty widely available. If you wait a couple of months, the new REI convertible pack looks pretty interesting, the removable frame will allow you a frameless pack when your baseweight is really light, and a frame for heavier loads.
For a tarp, I really like my GG White Lightnin tarp. There are lighter options, but the webbing makes setup pretty quick if you're super-experienced with tarps. I also really liked the bias-taped ridgeline seam; I never worry about too much tension on the ridge seam! Plus, when you get really comfortable pitching tarps, you can just cut the webbing off and make some small loops. I'm about to do this to mine, and I'm going to add some linelocs to keep setup and adjustment simple.
The options mentioned above are also relatively inexpensive; the packs are under $150 and can be found on sale often. (I bought my G-Pack for $75 from STP) The tarp is about $125, I got mine for $90 on sale if I remember correctly.
Good luck on lightening up, it has made my trips so much more enjoyable. Your in the right place; this is the best online community in existence. See you out there!Oct 18, 2008 at 4:25 pm #1455040

Mariposa plus is a very nice pack and on sale right now, not for off trail survivor type bushwacking, but most ul packs are flimsy. Packed well it'll treat you right. Tarp and flimsy are not always the same, but I think you might dig the tarp tent rainbow, if you carry poles. Imo "feels lighter" is always a lie when all is packed well.As for clothes if you're not wearing smartwool (or any marino wool) it will change your life man. Then get the lightest down (lighter) or synth(safer, possibly) sweater you can afford and cover it up with a winshirt. This site has great clothing options if you got the cash to blow.Also try sierra trading post and rei and shop the sales. Find something you like, post it on this site and get 300 opinions by morning.If you get something lame, turn around and sell it on this site one mans trash…But the most important part of the thinking process is light is right.Oct 18, 2008 at 5:30 pm #1455049

If you're going off trail… don't get a Spinnaker or Sylnylon pack… go with a 210 denier pack from ULA of Six Moon Designs. I got the 26-30oz SMD Traveller for my Ground SAR works and altho' I find it a little big (altho' it may be just right for winter)… I love it. Awesome pack.
But for on-trail recreation hikes, I always turn to my 3.8 oz Gossamer Gear "Whisper" pack. Of course, such a pack only works with a sub-8 pound base weight… preferably around a 5 pound base weight. And 'pulling on your shoulders' isn't really an issue with such a setup because the most the pack will ever weigh (with food for 3-4 days and some water) is maybe 15 pounds… at it's heaviest.
As for the comment about tarps leaking of falling over… I guess it depends again on where you're using them and the conditions. I've used tarps, tarp tents, the Gossamer Gear Spinnshelter and "The One" and they are all rock solid and don't leak. Tarp Tent makes really good solid shelters. But if you want something more traditional (double wall)… then the Hubba is a great bet.Oct 18, 2008 at 8:35 pm #1455067

My first weight drop, if you want to call it that, was down to a Kelty 50th Anniversay. Shortly after that, I went to a REI UL Cruise 60, which I've been very happy with. Just went down again, got a Gossamer Gear Mariposa on their garage sale, that I'll be testing against a Golite Jam2. And the Mariposa Plus is supposed to be a heavier fabric than the normal silnylon, FWIW.Oct 18, 2008 at 10:09 pm #1455078
I started the transition 4 years ago; I'm still shaving off an ounce or two here and there trying to get the weight a little lower. For some things, though, I require comfort–especially in my sleeping system.
Here are my "big 4." Some of what you want depends on where you're going to be. I'm in the Pacific NW 3 season and sometimes high in the Rockies in summer (the latter region has more "interesting" weather and below freezing nights even in midsummer):
Pack: Six Moon Designs Comet, with the optional stays, 27 oz.
Sleeping Bag: Western Mountaineering Ultralight Super, 24.8 oz. (short size)
Pad: POE InsulMat Max Thermo (now the Ether Thermo), 16.9 oz.,(48" length)
Tent–seems to be eternally in transition:
Started with Tarptent Squall 2, 36.3 oz with side stakes and guylines and too much seam sealer (this was my first seam-sealing attempt)
Switched to Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo, 26 oz. with stakes and seam sealing (not so much seam sealer this time). Found that when tied to tent by inclement weather the tent and its ventilation system are too small for me plus 80-lb. dog. It is definitely a solo tent–get a two-person tent if you're taking a dog or small humans.
Currently back with the Tarptent Squall 2.
Both the SMD Lunar Solo and the Tarptent Squall 2 have held up really well against full-body Labrador Retriever tail-wags, dogs and kids running through and tripping over guy ropes, me tripping over the black front guy rope of the Lunar Solo in the dark, Rocky Mountain cloudbursts complete with torrential rain, high winds and hail. They look fragile but are plenty strong. They are definitely not winter tents, however.
I plan to get the Gossamer Gear Squall Classic when they start making them again. Estimate the same weight as the Lunar Solo, but should have more room and better ventilation for me and the dog. Ask me a year from now about this tent!
The usual advice is to buy the pack last, after you've bought the rest of your gear. That way you know the pack will fit the size and weight of the rest of your gear, and you can try out the pack with what you'll actually be carrying (include the equivalent of a week's food, fuel and water) to be sure the pack will be comfortable with what you'll really be carrying.Oct 18, 2008 at 10:39 pm #1455082

the msr is really too heavy… indeed. I would suggest aqua mira or any other Chlorine Dioxide based treatment. More effective than iodine, and not as nasty tasting. Or do a gravity filter using a couple of platypus containers and an inline filter. Since I used a platypus for hydration, it's just an extra 6oz to have a system that processes 3L of water in around 4 minutes by holding up or hanging it on a tree.
As to shelter… lots of choices. I am not sure the phrase "don't want a tarp that will leak in the tub". Does that mean you want a fully and sealed and waterproof bathtub floor, or does it mean something else? I wouldn't rule out tarps or tarptents. Several are surprising good in nasty weather. For example, there was a report on this forum about using a MLD superfly which weights around 12oz in a fairly nasty storm. My experiences with the superfly (simular to the golite shangri-la 2) are very similar. Lots of other suggestion on my recommended shelter page.
If you are comfortable using a hammock and go places where you won't have trouble hanging… that don't give up on a hammock just because of cold weather. Yes, you will need under insulation. But one of the hyper-light hammocks + under quilt + over quilt can be approx the same weight as an insulated air pad, quilt or sleeping bag, shelter.
As far as packs go… all the packs you mentioned are decent packs. I would add to the list the granite gear vapor trail (what I have been using for several years) the packs from six moon designs.
> also for fall and winter clothing… low of 30F
I typically have found that a light base (I like powerdry) + a windshirt are enough protection for me when I am moving. When I stop and need to warm up I have found that one of the lighter weight high loft jackets using either down or synthetic insulation have worked well. Something like the montbell thermawrap jacket or vest, down inner jacket or vest. Several other companies like feathered friends, patagonia, BPL, and several others make jackets that compress nicely, weight less than 8-12oz, and are quite warm.
For a lot more thoughts see my recommended outdoor gear pages.Oct 20, 2008 at 9:42 pm #1455460
I'd like to comment that Mark's website is an invaluable source of information. Unlike many sites, he makes an effort to keep up with recent gear innovations. I've recommended it many times!Oct 21, 2008 at 9:39 am #1455506

How has the squall held up to toenails? I'm looking at the squall 2 now, especially since it is on sale but I'm worried about the floor and my dogs nails.Oct 21, 2008 at 11:04 am #1455522

I would recommend the following:
Tent: I would go with a tarp tent, by http://www.sixmoondesigns.com, http://www.tarptent.com/ or maybe http://www.gossamergear.com (there are fewer offerings from Gossamer Gear). A single walled tarp tent is a very good compromise when moving to ultralight. You get all the bug protection and a lot of room, while saving a bunch of weight. A single walled structure has disadvantages, but makes up for that with their weight savings. The tarp tents mentioned all have good ventilation, which helps reduce condensation (the biggest drawback to single walled tents).
Pack: Go for a good compromise pack. The packs mentioned (like the G-Pack) are good choices. I would put the Granite Gear Vapor Trail in that category as well (I like mine quite a bit). If possible, try a pack on before buying (although there are some great packs out there that are mail order only). I agree that comfort and support are more important than saving a few ounces (especially if you are still carrying a fair amount of weight).
Water Filter: A pump filter is heavy. Consider switching to an inline filter with a platypus or treatment. With an inline filter, the water bottle is "dirty" but the water you drink is always filtered (you just have to remember to use the filter). Water management is tricky and will result in more weight savings than any choice of method. If you know that you will be crossing several streams, then you should not carry water, but instead drink plenty at every water crossing. Of course, you don't want to make a mistake and run out (it is much better to carry too much water than to go thirsty). An inline filter has the advantage over treatment in that you can get clean water immediately (which can save some time if you drink water as you go). Other than that though, treatment saves weight.
Bag and Pad: You may want to leave these alone. If I'm not mistaken, the Pitch Pine is a 40 degree bag. Since the sleeping bag doesn't provide a huge amount of warmth, you want to make sure your pad does. An insulated pad does, so you are in good shape. You might consider closed cell pad (from Gossamer Gear, for example) but that might not be as comfortable (and, depending on how thick it is, as warm).
Don't forget to search this site for reviews and gear reports. A lot of stuff gets reviewed here by experts and then forgotten. For example, there is a lot of talk about the Aarn packs (an intriguing design) and it turns out two of their packs were reviewed several years ago.Oct 21, 2008 at 9:26 pm #1455633

The Double Rainbow with the optional liner gives the effect of a double wall tent without the weight.
But if you want comfort, it's hard to beat a hammock. The insulation can be managed, it's just a matter of getting what works best for you. One of the simplest ways of staying warm down to around 40 F is a wide 1/4" Gossamer Gear Thin Light inside the hammock.Oct 21, 2008 at 9:33 pm #1455636

For clothing, consider something like the Montbell U.L. Down Inner Parka along with Merino wool base layers. I've found Icebreaker wool especially nice, and the stuff from BPL here feels great and is really light. It seems a little fragile though since it is so thin.
DriDucks are inexpensive and light rain gear.
Personally I like the REI Sahara convertible pants.
There are a lot of clothing options out there, and everyone pretty much has a different opinion of what works for them. I think that is one area you just have to experiment a little. Fortunately any mistakes can be relegated to 'casual' use.Oct 21, 2008 at 11:41 pm #1455655
Mike, re dog toenails: In the 5 years that Hysson and I have been camping, I haven't had a problem. I do keep Hysson's claws as short as I can, clipping them twice monthly. There was no problem even in the Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo with the ultralight floor (a bit thinner than what's in the Squall). However, he's in the tent only at night to sleep or (when we were in Colorado) during the every-evening thundershower. He was tired enough during our Colorado trip last summer that he slept through all the thunder, lightning, hail, etc. I have a piece of Gossamer Gear Nightlight pad under him.
Keep a close watch on your pooch and don't let him scramble around on the tent floor–or your sleeping bag! I think that crate-training a dog really helps him to adjust to lying there quietly in the tent.Oct 22, 2008 at 12:28 pm #1455719

@paul_treeLocale: Wowwww
Isaac, what area are you thinking for? Often makes a difference as far as gear.
– Pack –
Mine is homemade with super cushy Osprey harness. 20 lb you should be able to use a frameless pack, not even a real hip belt. The Golite packs deserve your attention as well. I hate attaching stuff on the outside of a pack, so I always end up with extra volume compared to others. A 25 liter pack is not enough for me most of the time. Alot depends on how easy you can take it on the pack.
– Sleeping Bag –
The pitchpine looks great. 17 ounces.
– Water Filter –
I use the Katydyn Hiker. 11 – 11.5 oz. It's rather a luxury in weight compared to the new pills, Steripens and such. Affordable – $45 at omc – and the replacement filters are one of the cheapest ~33. I plug my platy hose right into it for hassle-free filling and one less hose. Great for a group of people, they should scale it down.
– Stove –
Sounds like you are set on the stove. For canister, I like the Brunton Optimus Crux. Besides folding, it supposedly blasts out up to 12K BTUs, more than my very nice vargo-ti:
# 2.2"x2.9"x1.3" stove folded
# 3.1 oz
# Fuel: Isobutane canisters
# Rating: Approximately 3515 watts / 12,000 btu
# Burn time: Up to 70 minutes at high output
– Tent –
Howabout a bivy? Integral Designs South Col Event: 22 oz. I can't spend money on this right now so not really thinking about it.. There is a new crop of UL tent supposed to come out next cycle. Most of the summer just a bit of bug net is all you want around these parts. Decisions on tent and water filter can be affected so much by if solo or group camping.
– Fall and Winter gear –
Down jacket is nice, if you can keep it dry. Usually used between getting off trail and into the bag, unless extra cold. I got a Montbell Ex Light Down Jacket this year. 6 oz. It'll do me 90% of my trips, it's like a sweater, so I bring a 3oz. Golite Ether windshirt to back it up. For winter, I'd want more. Maybe take a hooded synthetic parka if expecting weather or not sure. Primaloft is the most packable supposedly.
Event rain gear is nice and breathable. I love hard shells so much, I might never catch on to soft shells.
People are loving the Icebreaker hoodies. Wool base layers in general. Patagoonia R1 fleece Hoody can cover a good temperature range, has more face coverage.
A stretch microfleece balaclava is very versatile. I sleep with it over my face on cold nights, rather than breathe into the bag. It can be used as a neck gaiter, a hat, an earmuff-headband, la la. Also a fun sewing project.
Good gloves and/or mitts can be key. I got some OR Verglas, Goretex paclite mitts off of Sierra Trading Post. They condense on the inside of the rubber palm a tad, but awesome when you have to go get snow off the tent in the middle of the night. OR Gripper gloves look like they would make good liners. If you ever want spare socks, winter will be the time.
In the tent, a small piece of sponge can help to help manage melt and condensation. A pee bottle can be convenient. For groups, maybe include a small brush for getting the snow off pants before entering. It's good if your ground sheet can be under the vestibule area as well, as a welcome mat.
Consider the ridgerest 3/4 foam pad in addition if on snow. I put it between the groundsheet and the bivy floor to lessen condensation inside.. Maybe full length would be better, never thought of that.
Goggles is a consideration for snowy conditions, both for sun and storm.Oct 27, 2008 at 7:55 pm #1456462
thanks for the comments! i have been busy with midterms, however after reading them i feel like a know a think or two about the new technologies. thanks everybody.

8th August
There is a sweet shop opposite were I 'live'. I often gaze at the confectionary piled in the window, my mouth watering. Today as I did so, I saw a family or tourists: a mother, a father and two girls. The younger girl looked up and saw me. After a pause so did the other. And it was with shock and disbelief that I recognised Kate and her sister Natalie.
How could it be? They were about to leave, so I signed to Kate that she should meet me here tomorrow. She nodded just once.
It seems that my prayers - and no doubt everybody back home's prayers too - had finally been answered. Life is looking up.

MARIO BALOTELLI warned of the dangers of playing with fireworks — the day after his sparkling display at Old Trafford.
The Manchester City cracker had to call the fire brigade early on Saturday after his mates started a blaze in the bathroom of his Cheshire home.
But 24 hours later he illuminated the Theatre of Dreams as the Premier League leaders rocketed to to an astonishing 6-1 win.
City's season has started with a bang and Balotelli has vowed to make sure it will not fizzle out.
The shooting star said: "I think this win and this performance showed everyone we can be the best.
"To win a derby at Old Trafford is one thing, but to win it 6-1, none of us knew what to say."
Balotelli insisted the drama at his new home near Macclesfield was nothing to do with him.
He said: "I didn't know anything about it until I heard shouting coming from the bathroom.
"Luckily, nobody was injured and my friend apologised to me for the damage to my house.
"It was a really stupid thing to do, someone could have been hurt."
Mancini has hinted he may make a January move for Cristian Chivu.
The Etihad boss knows the Romanian defender, 31, from their days together at Inter Milan.
And Mancini said: "The fact that he might be a free agent in six months makes him very interesting for every team, including Manchester City."

I must confess a guilty secret: I love Crufts. Officially, of course, I don't approve of this archaic, demeaning beauty parade. Nevertheless, this weekend I will be at Crufts' 100th show. The moment I enter Birmingham NEC, my scornful, ironic exterior will melt away to be replaced with a childlike glee. I will point, stroke, ooh, aah, and engage in earnest conversations apropos sex, age and endearing habits.
Amid this canine-induced ecstasy, however, there will be moments of clarity when I am struck by the oddness of the whole thing. How did breeding dogs become such a finely tuned art? Who decides what a pedigree dog should look like? Why do breeders always wear taupe slacks?
The Kennel Club's breed standards "provide a picture in words of the ideal dog of a particular breed". They include detailed descriptions of desirable physical and character traits. The bull mastiff should have "fair wrinkle when interested, but not when in repose"; the labrador retriever should be "broad and strong over loins and hindquarters". My own dogs are "long and low" and should be "courageous to the point of rashness".
The breeds are divided into seven groups that, more or less, reflect their original function; pastoral or gundogs, for example. But it's not always so straightforward. The Boston terrier isn't actually a terrier, and the useless shih-tzu is in the utility group. This last category is best summed up as "miscellaneous"; it includes bulldogs, made redundant from bull-baiting as long ago as 1835, and chow-chows, originally bred in China for meat.
The Kennel Club recognises nearly 200 different breeds, so where did they all come from? George Bernard Shaw wrote, "I like a bit of a mongrel myself, whether it's a man or a dog; they're the best for every day." Many of his contemporaries disagreed. Dog fancying began in earnest around the middle of the 19th century. The Kennel Club was founded in 1873. A year later it published its first stud book, which identified 40 breeds. Darwinian notions of perfection through selection, coupled with the Victorian preoccupation with social status, resulted in a eugenic pursuit of the ideal dog. Mongrels were regarded with disdain, as were pure-bred pups that didn't meet breed standards.
Nineteenth-century breeders believed careful breeding would produce progressively better dogs. Perhaps paradoxically, they were also keen to preserve the "authenticity" of traditional breeds. The Animal Estate, by Harriet Ritvo, is a social history of animals in the Victorian age. Ritvo tells how members of the Beagle Club, founded in 1895, squabbled endlessly over breed standards: "All the disputants assumed that a standard or ideal beagle existed, even though there was no historical evidence for a single, true, ancient beagle type."
The question of bulldogs' noses was another contentious issue. The Dudley nose question "convulsed the Bulldog Club for over a decade". Bulldogs with Dudley (pink) noses were excluded from competition - a decision that outraged many members. Similar arguments still flare up among aficionados who sit on committees on all matters dog.
The modern bulldog is proof that breeding for "perfection" in the show ring can be bad for an animal's health. For decades, the breed standard decreed that a bulldog's head should be big - "the bigger, the better". Consequently, bulldogs have difficulty giving birth and most are delivered by Caesarean section. The standard was changed in 1988; the head should be "massive" but not so as to "make the dog appear deformed".
I've never shown my well-bred, Kennel Club-registered dogs in competition. I already know they're champions. In any case, they'd rather spend the weekend being courageous to the point of rashness in a muddy field. I get much more pleasure from Crufts than they would.

Government attorneys focus on a particular area of government regulation. These lawyers are often called "regulatory lawyers" and can work for the government itself or work in the private sector helping people interact with the government. Some government law attorneys are also known as "public interest lawyers." Public interest lawyers tend to focus on those areas where a large group of individuals is affected by government regulation–for example, environmental laws or anti-discrimination laws.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
In the previous post, Dean Baker noted that Social Security payments went up considerably last quarter because they're based on inflation measurements that included the big runup in gasoline prices through mid-2008 but not their subsequent fall. Needless to say, though, there's a flip side to that:
For the first time in more than three decades, Social Security recipients will not get any increase in their benefits next year, federal forecasts show.
.... The forecasts, by the Obama administration and the Congressional Budget Office, indicate that Social Security beneficiaries will not receive any cost-of-living increase in 2010 or in 2011.
This certainly won't help whatever recovery we manage to start eking out next year.
