Hello! I am new to the site, and to the world of lightweight backpacking. I have been backpacking for quite some time, and my more recent purchases have been more weight-conscious, but I am looking to shed some pounds. I live in New Hampshire's White Mountains, and am out almost every weekend (US Forest Service Wilderness Ranger). I've been looking around the site, and some manufacturers' but it is a daunting task. I am hoping some of you can help. My lighter gear:-Feathered Friends Hummingbird (cold sleeper) 2 lbs.-Osprey Aether 60, around 4 lbs.My middle of the road weight:-older Thermarest Guidelite full length, around 1.5 lbs.-Jetboil Stove, 1 lb.-Patagonia Microburst Shell 13 oz.-Mountain Hardwear Monkey Man unknown weight-Camelbak 70 oz. Reservoir-Sierra Designs Light Year 1, 3 lbs.Heavy:Dana Designs Alpine AV: 7 lbs.Mountain Hardwear Light Wedge 2: 6 lbs.So basically, I am looking for some suggestions on lightening up. I will have to carry around some heavy stuff for work, but I've been looking mostly at my shelter for weight savings. I've looked at hammocks, tarps/bivies, tarptents, and tents. I am a stomach and side sleeper, and bugs and condensation/humidity are concerns for me. In addition, I'd like to find out some info/suggestions about going lighter with my girlfriend. I really appreciate the site, and any help!
You ought to consider getting the book from this site. That is where I started and I'm sure it would help tremendously in your search for lighter alternatives. There are simply too many suggestions to list about gear, so you might get more responses if you asked specific questions about a particular item. Or, surf the forums. They are a great help to find answers about losing pounds from your pack.
Hammocks: I was looking at the Hennessey Hammock, and I was curious about how comfortable it is to sleep on one's side, or stomach.Tarptents: I am concerned about condensation, and mugginess inside. Is this a big problem in the northeast?I've looked around a bit at the forums too. Thanks for your reply.Garth
lose the Ospery pack. There are many packs that have the same volume as that pack and weigh two pounds less. I use the Granite Gear Vapor Trail. Sleeping bag is fine, as well as your pad if you desire some comfort. Nothing wrong there. 70 ounce bladder is a tad much maybe. Is there alot of water sources in the White Mountains, if so, go down to a liter of water??? Jacket wise, Montbell makes awesome down jackets that weigh less. Ditch the Jet Boil and get either the new Snow Peak cannister stove that weighs in at 1.75 ounces or so and get a titanium mug. If it has no lid, use tin foil. Works just fine. Keep in mind this more of one pot meals. Buy the book on this site and try out what you have read. The more you go out lightweight, the more confidence you will have in your ability and the better you will get at deciding what you need and what you don't.Good luck!
also, lose the tent. Six Moon Designs has a poncho tarp with a Serenity net tent that can double as rain gear to. Two use in one, that save alot of weight. If you feel uncomfortable about that, look at Henry Shires Tarptents, MLD Designs tarps, or Gossamer Gear tents. You can lose a few pounds just from doing this!
for hammock specific info:www.tothewoods.netand www.hammockforums.netIMO, it's tough to get comfortable on my stomach in my HH, but my side is OK most of the time. sometimes I wake up with a sore shoulder and roll over. On your back is best, with something under your knees and something as a thin pillow. I love my HH, but there are many other choices, and there is definitely a learning curve even for an experienced backpacker.
If you are a cold sleeper, then I wouldn't mess with your bag.The Aether 60 is a great pack as you transition to a lighter weight style since it compresses very nicely. Hold on to it until you have settled into a light weight approach. Once you are there, you will most likely want to switch to a lighter (.5-2lbs), smaller volume pack.For the midweight stuff:If you don't mind sleeping on closed cell foam make a switch and save close to 1lb. If you can't handle that hold onto your thermarest if it's working for you but keep your eyes out for the 13oz thermarest inflatable due out next spring.I would lose the jetboil and switch to a small alcohol stove and a .9l evernew pot or a titanium mug if you want to be really minimalist. This will save you more than 1/2lb and if you sell the jetboil you might make some money :-)Patagonia Microburst --> DriDucks... save almost 1/2lb for a cost of $15.Mountain Hardwear Monkey Man Fleece... you could save maybe 1/2lb with something like the montbell inner down or thermawrap jacket.Camelbak... I think they are overly complex and heavy. Switch to platypus, or use some 1L gatoraid bottles.Sierra Designs Tent... lots of options which could drop this down to near 1lb if you are willing to spend the money.As to where to get ideas, this forum and website has lots of useful info. I have a fair number of recommendations with links to lots of other sites on my recommended gear page
Edited by verber on 06/26/2008 10:24:43 MDT.
I learned alot from studying other people's gear lists. Many of the articles available on this site include gear lists. Some members have a gear list posted under their profile (Ryan Jordan's is a great place to start)I would recommend buying a pack last. When I made the transition to UL I bought a pack first (a granite gear vapor trail) Its a great pack but by the time I got my base weight under 10 lbs I didn't need the capacity or the cushioning of the vapor trail. I ended up switching to a golite jam 2.
I agree, buy Ryan Jordan's book. If nothing more, it is inspirational and really changed the way I thought about things. Check our Ray Jardine's stuff too. In the end, clear your mind of conventional backpacking principals and all the stuff mass marketing has put in your head. You can have the same gear and remain safe, you'll just do it lighter.As you'll figure out quickly, lightening up is terribly freeing, but it requires you to make very specific gear choices and you really need to focus on everything. Let me repeat - EVERYTHING.The Osprey is a great pack, but you can go lighter. Check out Granite Gear, ULA-Equipment, Gossamer Gear, etc....and keep in mind that you likely can get a much smaller pack then you think because most of your gear will be lighter and smaller.Your sleeping bag isn't too bad in weight, but much like with everything, you can go lighter. You can buy quilts from this site, Jacks R Better, and several other places. If you want to stick with a bag, I'd go with the Western Mountaineering Highlite which runs slightly over a pound and many people on this site will tell you it is a tremendous bag. If you don't think a 35 degree 850 down bag will be enough, wear some extra clothing instead of investing in a heavier bag which won't have as many uses.I looked into hammocks too and spent a ton of time and money trying to find one that worked. In the end, I didn't find them comfortable, they had no real place to store anything, and other options were lighter and offered more space. You could get a tarp (Gossamer Gear SwinnTwinn is my favorite) or a tent of all shapes and sizes. Henry Shire's Tarp Tent is popular on this site, but I chose the Six Moon Design's Lunar Duo because it offers my tall frame more length. You mentioned condensation. Well, you'll get condensation in nearly everything, even a tarp. One of the quickest ways to mitigate condensation is to get something waterproof and breathable. Check out the bivy's sold on this site which will keep your bag drier then without it for just a few ounces.If I can suggest one thing, it's LOOK before you buy. Study gear lists from others on this site, ask a ton of questions and you'll learn that there are a lot of options out there. The people on this site are invaluable to the lightweight backpacking community and each offers amazing insight, skill, experience and study to even the most mundane topic. My biggest mistake was buying before I fully appreciated this market because I was blinded by the fact that there was more then just mainstream marketers of backpacking equipment. The reality is, the "good lightweight stuff" is offered by small shops who don't offer their products to large vendors such as REI, EMS, Dick's, LL Bean, Cabelas, etc. Many are represented on this site. Basically, do you homework, ask for suggestions, weigh EVERYTHING as you'll be suprised how quickly a few ounces can add up when you discard their value for several items. After you knock out the big three (shelter, sleep system, and pack), you'll need to focus on lightening your other stuff (stove, clothing, water bottles, pad, etc.).Good luck!
Garth,As James mentioned, you will see your biggest weight reduction in "the big three". The only problem with that is the big three are usually big ticket items. If you're on a tight budget, go after the cheaper things:Get a small alcohol stove and an aluminum or titanium mug. If you're happy with their performance and weight reduction, sell the Jetboil to help offset the cost or to pay for your next upgrade.Replace the Camelbak with a Platypus tank or a pair of used plastic water bottles. Gatorade jugs work well too.Consider replacing your full length pad with a 3/4 pad (48" long) or maybe even foam instead of inflatable. I use foam and inflatable. Foam for the warmer months, then use both in the colder months. Bot are 3/4 pads, but I can put a pack or jacket under my feet for insulation.Multi-use items are a bonus.Don't sell off your old gear until you're happy with the new stuff. If you don't like your new gear, you can go back to what you used before or find another. I went through about a dozen stoves until I finally settled on one.Reading is free. There's a ton of info online. Read others' gear lists, gear reviews, trip reports... all good stuff that will tell you how the gear performed, whether it be loaded with features or limitations.Best of luck.Chris
Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I really am looking forward to shedding pounds from my load!
First off... you're a USFS ranger in the White Mountains?! What a dream job, where do I sign up, What qualifications do I need? (I am at least half serious about this question)As to your gear questions, Lots of good advice already mentioned. I'll add that a hammok is probably not the best choice for your situation. You mentioned that you are a cold sleeper and warmth is one of the hammok's weak points. Also I don't have to tell you that at higher elevations in the Whites it could be a little tough to find suitable trees to hang it from (I know people who have used hammocks there, but it could limit your options) A tarp/bivy combo would offer the best weight savings and versatility, use them together in rainy weather and on clear nights the bivy will keep dew off your bag if you want to sleep under the stars on one of those glorious White mountain ridgelines. (heaven)
I've worked in NH for the State Parks, and for the Forest Service in Colorado. I grew up in the Whites, and volunteered some last for the USFS, and got lucky! I think I've abandoned the hammock idea for now. I'm looking bivy/tarp combos, but would like one more comfortable (read: face pole thing to keep fabric away). Those seem pretty heavy generally. I've also thought about bug bivys. Does anybody have any experience with those?Thanks!!!
bug bivys are great combo. I used the A16 bug bivy which has to be combined with your sleeping bag. Worked great. Very easy to use and freestanding so you can use it in shelters as well. There are others which are more "tent" like with integrated bottoms. They can also work well.
I second the recommendation for a bug bivy. However, even the lightweight bivys w/ poles (like those by Mountain Laurel Designs) usually have a hang loop that ties to the top of your tarp and keeps the fabric and mesh off your face. Take a look at the MLD Superlight Bivy - very light and many features at a reasonable price (at least compared to the rest of the MLD stuff!). If you are looking to save some cash, take a hard look at hte A16 bug bivy for warmer weather.
Garth,I have to agree, that's a great job to have! Were I in your position, I'd be concerned about one thing- given the heavy use that your gear will most likely see, I'd factor durability into every decision. I'd stay away from cuben fiber packs, etc. A few extra pounds might be worth the added durability and peace of mind sturdier gear will give you. There are still plenty of options for UL gear that will hold up to a lot of use.
Yeah, I have been considering that, hence the Monkey Man jacket, and burlier packs. Thanks, everyone, for your advice!

FC Dallas
Two FC Dallas starters earned some praise from MLSsoccer.com following the team's scoreless draw in Montreal. Raul Fernandez took the top spot in the Castrol Index Weekly Top 20, while Zach Loyd earned a spot on Team of the Week.
Fernandez is no stranger to the Castrol Index. This week's appearance marks his sixth on the season and the second time the 'keeper has been number one for the week. Here's what the MLS staff had to say about the Peruvian national:
Nine goalkeepers made the cut, with FC Dallas 'keeper Raúl Fernández leading the way in the Week 21 marks. His four saves in a shutout performance helped Dallas pick up a road point in Montreal. It is the second time this season Fernandez has had the top spot in the Castrol Index Weekly Top 20.
Meanwhile, Zach Loyd was one of three defenders to pick up Team of the Week honors after his strong backfield performance in Montreal. Here's what Nicholas Rosano said about the defender:
A force on the right flank as Dallas battled to a scoreless draw in Montreal, both quieting the Impact's attack and getting forward to effectively join in on a few attacks himself.
Congrats to both players on their performances!

FC Dallas will host Stoke City FC of the English Premier League this Saturday and while it is the team's first time playing an EPL side, it is certainly not their first international friendly.
FC Dallas has played an international side in almost every season of its existence, Saturday will be the 15th official FC Dallas Stadium international friendly, and a few seasons included multiple international matches. The first friendly hosted at FC Dallas Stadium was a 4-1 FC Dallas win against Atlas CF of Mexico in March of 2006 and FC Dallas is 9-3-2 in the 14 matches.
Saturday's match certainly has plenty of intrigue, however, as it's just the second time a European team has faced FCD in an international friendly with the other one coming in 2010 when then-UEFA Champions League winners Inter Milan drew FCD 2-2. Here's some highlights of international friendlies at FC Dallas Stadium:
2006 - FC Dallas 2 Tigres 0
The first really memorable international friendly in front of a raucous crowd in Frisco saw FCD beat the Mexican side behind goals from Arturo Alvarez and Marcelo Saragosa. FCD went on to win the inaugural Rio Grande Plate on penalties down in Monterrey with Dario Sala saving, then scoring the game-winner.
2007 - FC Dallas 0 Atletico Paranaense 1
FCD fell to Brazilians Atletico Paranaense in the first of two meetings between the clubs in Frisco. This was an unspectacular game except for one major point, midfield maestro David Ferreira played his first minutes at FC Dallas Stadium, though they were with the Brazilians.
2008 - FC Dallas 1 Chivas Guadalajara 2
An exciting mid-summer match between FCD and Mexican giants Chivas de Guadalajara ended 2-1 to the visitors. A starting-quality FCD side produced a fantastic first half, but lineup changes saw Dallas relinquish a 1-0 lead giving up two late goals. The scorer of the game-winner? None other than budding Mexican National Team star Marco Fabian. This is interestingly the last international friendly that FCD has lost as they take an eight-game unbeaten run into Saturday's game.
2010 - FC Dallas 2 Inter Milan 2 (HIGHLIGHTS)
Obviously the biggest international friendly FC Dallas Stadium has hosted, FCD welcomed then-UEFA Champions League winners Inter Milan to Frisco for a prestigious match. "El Principe" Diego Milito opened the scoring for Inter, but George John struck back before halftime with a beautiful header to send the game into halftime tied 1-1. Who else but Samuel Eto'o broke the deadlock in the second half scoring from a blast outside the box before 2010 MLS MVP David Ferreira sealed the 2-2 draw with a penalty kick goal.
2012 - FC Dallas 3 Club Leon 3 (HIGHLIGHTS)
In perhaps the most exciting of the 15 international friendlies, FC Dallas and recently-promoted Club Leon played to a thrilling 3-3 draw that the Mexican side won on penalty kicks. A see-saw match in which both teams held leads was settled by a late Bobby Warshaw equalizer that slipped over the line.
FC Dallas' winless streak continued with a 0-0 stalemate in Montreal on Saturday. Despite the draw on a tough road trip, the team didn't see much positive movement in this week's power rankings.
Yahoo Sports moved FC Dallas down to #10:
Earning a draw at Montreal would normally be a good result, but Dallas really need to locate a win. Talk about a July to forget.
FC Dallas remained number 11 according to MLSsoccer.com:
All things considered, a point on the road is a good result for a team that's trying desperately to hang on in the playoff race. But there's this: They haven't scored a single goal since June. Crisis.
Avi Creditor of SportsIllustrated.com left FC Dallas in the #10 spot:
Center back anchor George John returned following a four-game absence and helped FC Dallas to a 0-0 draw against Montreal, but the club remains winless since May 25, a stretch of eight games. That streak will linger on past the MLS All-Star Game, as FCD does not play another league game until an Aug. 3 date against the Seattle Sounders that kicks off a run of seven games in a row against Western Conference competition.
Pro Soccer Talk also put FC Dallas in the 10th spot:
Speaking of Stoke City, they move from South Texas up I-45 to suburban Dallas for a meeting with Schellas Hyndman's team over the weekend.
ESPN FC dropped FCD one spot to number 13:
George John's return helped Dallas secure a much-needed road point at Montreal. And while FCD was missing some speedier elements, it seems reasonable to expect more offense from a lineup featuring David Ferreira, Kenny Cooper and Eric Hassli.
Finally, Soccer America moved FC Dallas down three to #10.
FC Dallas welcomes Stoke City to FCD Stadium on Saturday in the first-ever game between FC Dallas and an EPL side in Frisco. Their trip to north Texas is sandwiched between games in Houston and Philadelphia. New Stoke manager Mark Hughes has released his travel roster for their week-long USA tour:
TICKETS: FC Dallas vs Stoke City FC - Saturday, July 27, 8:00PM - FC Dallas Stadium
Stoke City FC Travel Roster
Goalkeepers: Asmir Begovic, Thomas Sorensen, Jack Butland

This weekend is a rare first for FC Dallas as they'll make their inaugural trip to the city of Montreal for Saturday's match against the Impact. Montreal is the only team in MLS that FCD has never taken a road trip to, so we thought we'd educate you on the city at the heart of French-Canadian culture.
Join us at The Pub in Frisco for our Party at the Pubs watch party pres. by Budweiser
Montreal has been an incorporated city since 1832 and has been one of the economic centers of Canada since the mid-1800's. By 1930, the Montreal metropolitan area contained over 1,000,000 people and today the Montreal metropolita area population nears 4,000,000.
Montreal is renowned for its beautiful architecture and is one of just ten UNESCO Cities of Design in the world and the only one in North America.
Of course, one of the defining features of Montreal is the fact that most of the people speak French as their native language. Nearly 2/3rds of the population primarily speaks French and all it takes is a simple visit to the Impact's website to get a lesson in French.
From a business perspective, Montreal is a booming city and boasts one of the largest inland ports in the world and also remains the home of many of the top video game developers in the industry.
When it comes to sports in Montreal, the conversation starts with the Montreal Canadiens. One of the NHL's original six, the Canadiens have won the Stanley Cup a record 24 times, though they resemble the Dallas Cowboys in that Montreal is mired in a 20-year Stanley Cup drought.
With the Montreal Expos having moved to Washington, the Canadiens and Impact are the only major North American league teams in the city while the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League have won the Grey Cup eight times.
You can catch FCD's first ever trip to Montreal on Saturday at 6:00PM and we encourage you to head to The Pub in Frisco for our Party at the Pubs Watch Party Presented by Budweiser where we will be giving away Gold Cup semifinal tickets, Breakaway Music Festival tickets and much more FCD swag!

- 25 medium cucumbers
- 1/2 gallon cider vinegar
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 cup canning salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup mustard seed
Combine vinegar, water, salt, sugar and mustard seed. Bring mixture to a rolling boil.
Place a canning funnel into jar. Fill to within 1/2 inch of jar top with boiling vinegar mixture. Adjust caps.
Process in a boiling water bath canner for 10 minutes. Remove to a draft free place to cool using a jar lifter.
Yields about 8 pints. Submitted by: CM
Verdict? I love them. They are not the best sour pickles I've ever had, but they are nice and sour and crisp. And they were pretty simple to make. I'll be saving this one to make again next year.
Wash cucumbers; drain. Combine sugar, salt, vinegar and water in a large sauce pot. Tie spices in a spice bag; add spice bag to vinegar mixture; simmer 15 minutes. Pack cucumbers into hot jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace; put one head of dill in each jar. Ladle hot liquid over cucumbers, leaving ¼ inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Adjust two-piece caps. Price pints and quarts 15 minutes in a boiling water canner. (note: start counting from the minute jars hit the boiling water canner).
Recipe variation: For Kosher-style dill Pickles add 1 bay leaf, 1 clove garlic, 1 piece hot red pepper and ½ teaspoon mustard seed to each jar. Process as recommended.
Verdict - hmmm, I'm not sure about these. They're okay. I've only tried the slices, and they weren't chilled, but they weren't crisp, which I didn't like. The flavor was unique...something like a bread n' butter with a little more dill flavor - if that makes sense. So, I didn't not like them, but I didn't immediately love them either. I'll have to get some other opinions and let you know.

Your views of space and stars
Aurora Borealis over Corbridge, Northumberland
- Jareen, CNN iReport producer
I have lived in the North East of England for 23 years and I have never seen even a hint of the Northern Lights…until last night. I saw reports on Twitter of sightings as far south as Norfolk so at around 9pm I decided to climb the hill outside my house which overlooked the village to see if I could spot them for myself. I was greeted with a barely visible faint green glow on the horizon. I set my camera up for a long exposure and to my surprise this is what I got: The village in the photos is Corbridge.
Unfortunately I had given my sister my tripod to borrow for a trip of hers (typical), so I had to make do with a wall and the roof of my car.
The Aurora kept getting stronger and stronger. It was now easily visible with the naked eye. All of the shots were taken at 30secs, f/4, ISO 1600.
Some red streaks started to show themselves. These are glowing particles higher in the atmosphere and are much rarer than the green glow.
I couldn't resist a quick selfie.
There was a period of about 10 minutes when the sky was unbelievable. The sky just went crazy with red and green colours illuminating the whole of the northern sky. It got better and better.
It was an amazing sight and I got extremely lucky to be there when the Aurora was at its peak. It is probably a sight I won't get to see again around these parts so I'm glad I was able to grab a few shots.
The last 24 hours have been pretty crazy. I uploaded a few of my photos on twitter and one of them was retweeted by comedian Dara O'briain and it just took off. I then posted a different image on Reddit and that shot to the number 1 spot on the site. I wrote a blog which included all of my images and that received 50,000 hits within the space of only a few hours.

Food Poisoning (cont.)
Food Poisoning Treatment
Treatment of food poisoning is mainly done with fluids to avoid dehydration, especially in children and the elderly.
Some patients may benefit from medication to reduce nausea and vomiting. The use of medications like loperamide (Imodium) to treat diarrhea is often not advised as it may prolong symptoms or cause additional problems. Patients are advised to check with their doctor before using the medication. Antibiotics are not used to treat viral and most bacterial causes of food poisoning but may be used in certain circumstances.
Severe bacterial infections and pregnant women with listeriosis will get antibiotics; some other pathogens such as certain parasites may be treated with antiparasitic medications. Other relatively rare causes of food poisoning may require special medications.

An interesting report was released by Nielsen analyzing some of the viewership trends for the Republican and Democratic conventions. Here are a few highlights:
• Nearly two thirds of all U.S. households (64.5% or 73.2 million homes) tuned into at least one of the 2008 political conventions (Graph 1). This equates to 120.1 million people ages 2+ watching a convention. Viewership levels for the two conventions were essentially tied, with about half of all households watching each one.
• 15.0% of all households tuned to just the RNC, and 15.7% tuned to just the DNC. Another 33.9% of all households tuned to both conventions.
• Homes that watched both conventions were more likely to be headed by someone 65 years or older. They also completed the most formal education: nearly one-third (32.3%) graduated from college. Those watching only one convention were fairly comparable on both education and HOH age, within a point or two.
• Homes that only tuned to the RNC were more likely to have higher incomes ($100K+), to have a larger household size (4+), to be white, to own a DVR, and to have a head of household with
higher education (4+ yrs college) and aged 35-54.
• Homes that only tuned in to the DNC were more likely to have a lower income (<20K), to have a smaller household size (2), to be African American, and to have a head of household who is
younger (<35) and who has less education (1-3 Yrs College).
• About one-fifth (21.2%) of the DNC-only homes were headed by an African American. 83.5% of the RNC-only homes were headed by someone who is white.
• Over 70% of African American homes tuned to at least one of the conventions, including 35.7% that tuned into both, more than each of the other ethnic breaks. Meanwhile 27.4% tuned in only to the DNC and 8.1% tuned in only to the RNC.
• White homes had the second highest reach to both conventions (34.5%), and were the only
ethnic break to have a higher percentage of partisan tuning to the RNC (16.2%) than the DNC

Comments about GHS PF270 80/20 Mandolin Strings:
Before even knowing of this site I've been using this brand of strings for years. I've tried other known name brand strings but these prove themselves to be the most reliable in tone, brighteness and life! I've busted many of strings with not even pounding or stressing them during a song until learning of the GHS PF270's.I've found myself changing the set just because of them looking like they've needed to be with their "dull" look BUT NOT because of their loosing of tone. I think GHS strings deliver the bright, crisp sound that I've always wanted coming from my madolin. You'd be surprised of what they'll do a even a lower priced mandolin!PLUS, I love the price I pay for them here oppose to area dealers!

Hi Monster,
3 things to check out:
1. Make sure that any AV on that server isn't perhaps scanning the BE services, and if so, put in an exclusion for them.
2. Make sure any AV on that server isn't scanning the B2D and put in an exclusion for it anyway.
3. Make sure there are no HDD failures/prefailures...this can affect backup speeds.
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
1) You can try doing a backup to disk and see whether the speed improves.
2) You can try tuning your tape drive. See my article below
Although it is written for LTO4, the principle is equally applicable for LTO3.

What size locks do I need for my doors and handles?
Also important is that most locks come in 2 common sizes, 63mm (2.5")and 76mm (3"). This is the depth of the lock, if a backset measurement is given this is the distance from the face plate to the centre of the spindle. All our case locks have lock centres of 57mm. If you want all your handles to match throughout the house then you ideally want all the locks ie tubular latches, bathroom locks and sash locks to match ie all 63mm or all 76mm.
You should also match the finish of the locks to the handles. For chrome and satin chrome handles pick the locks with Stainless Steel finish and for brass handles the polished brass or electro brass plate.
For levers on backset, 63mm locks are the most common. Levers on rose use either 63mm (backset 45mm) or 76mm (backset 57mm). If you think the door you have will look better with the furniture further into the door use the 76mm locks, You need to take into account the depth of side panel and consider variations on glass panelled doors.
The diagram below shows an example of a handle fitted with 2 diffrent lock sizes. You need to consider the style of the doors and also how thick the wooden stop is on the door.
It is likely that Mortice Knobs may require 100mm (4") locks. Although these are not on the web site they can be specially ordered but may take 7-10 days to get. Please call us for prices and delivery times.
IMPORTANT. With all our levers on rose, they can fit to the doors either by simply screwing onto the doors or by using the back to back bolts which go through the door and go through holes in the lock. This method is more likely to be needed if you have doors which may be hollow or not good quality wooden doors.

The wait is over for middle linebacker Lofa Tatupu.
After suffering a torn pectoral muscle that required surgery in October and forced him to miss the last 11 games of the season, the veteran Seattle Seahawks linebacker watched impatiently from the sidelines in 2009, unable to help halt the string of losses his team suffered during a 5-11 campaign.
"It was tough being around and not being able to contribute," he said. "But as far as the record, we were not pleased with that. It's tough to sit there and think that I could have at least impacted two or three of those games. And while 7-9 or 8-8 is not what you shoot for, it's a better record."
Tatupu promises this year will be different. And it begins tonight, when he gets his first start of the season against Minnesota in Seattle's third exhibition game.
Tatupu has been saddled with a string of nagging injuries that have hampered his production recently, including a broken thumb and a balky knee two years ago.
With Pete Carroll, Tatupu's former coach at USC, in the fold and making wholesale changes – 127 roster moves and counting – many league observers expect the losing to continue in Seattle.
However, the 27-year-old said no one uses the dreaded "R" word – rebuilding – in the locker room, and he believes the Seahawks can once again contend for an NFC West division title.
"You're not much of a competitor if you sit there and think that you're not going to win your division," he said. "But that's where it starts. You've got to win your division games. But we're getting ahead of ourselves. I'm getting ready for this preseason game right in front of us against the Vikings and looking forward to it."
Carroll took his time in getting Tatupu back on the field, but now that he's back in the huddle it should help younger linebackers such as Aaron Curry and David Hawthorne.
The three-time Pro Bowl selection has had lingering hamstring issues during this year's training camp, so even though he practiced, trainers decided to hold him out against Green Bay last week. But Tatupu received the go-ahead for tonight's game, and he will start with the first unit on defense.
Linebackers coach Ken Norton, Jr., who also coached Tatupu when he played for the Trojans, said his pupil is the kind of player that makes everyone around him better.
"He's good at figuring things out in terms of what the offense is trying to do to you," Norton said, "He's great at body language, and reading the movement of fullbacks and linemen. He picks up every little thing, and I'm just trying to make sure he helps our younger players pick up those things as well."
The defense could use the infusion of talent and energy from a healthy Tatupu, along with another important returning player, defensive tackle Brandon Mebane, who has been nursing a sore calf and did not play last week.
Seattle's defense struggled in the opening quarters of exhibition games against Tennessee and Green Bay, giving up three touchdowns in the first four possessions. So Tatupu understands the need for the defense to set the tone against Minnesota for how they need to play in the opening regular-season game two weeks from now against San Francisco.
"We never go out there with the intention, no matter if it's the ones or twos, of looking bad," Tatupu said. "Those guys on the other side of the ball, they're paid professionals, too. And they got their job to do."
Tatupu will see a familiar face across the line of scrimmage in Minnesota quarterback Brett Favre, who once again wrestled with the possibility of retirement but returned for his 20th season.
Favre played in just three plays against San Francisco last week but likely will play at least a quarter against Seattle. It's the eighth straight year the Seahawks will face a Favre-led team.
Tatupu said it's tough to deal with such an experienced player as Favre, who can change the game by changing the play at the line of scrimmage, or force the defense to jump offside with a hard count.
"Sometimes he won't even change the play," Tatupu said about Favre. "He won't let anybody know but the receiver. You don't see a hand signal or anything."
Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck admires Favre's durability. Favre holds the regular-season record for consecutive games started with 285. But Hasselbeck also understands he won't be facing him on the field.
"I don't have to play against him," he said. "I'll let (rookie safety) Earl Thomas worry about that."

The implementation of the project will help in:
i) Mapping of routes of public vehicles;
ii) Tracking of vehicles on the route;
iii) Highlighting of violations through visual and text signals;
iv) Panic button alert to transport and police through visual, text and voice.
v) Permit, registration and licence cancellation based criteria for enforcement.
(vi) Providing safety and security to women / girl child in distress in minimum response time.
The total estimated cost of the project will be Rs.1405 crore.
The project will be implemented within a period of two years after allocation of funds to set up a National Level Vehicle Security and Tracking System and City Command & Control Centre with installation of GPS / CCTV / Panic buttons in public road transport.
The scheme for security for women in public road transport has been formulated with purpose of improving safety and protection of women from violence by using information technology in the following manner:
I. Tracking of all public transport vehicles: This shall be done in accordance with Sections 72, 74, 75 and 76 of Central Motor Vehicle Act, 1988. Defaults will be reported and updated on the data base of the vehicle.
II. Emergency button in all public transport vehicles: The button will generate an alarm in the system. For vehicles which are also provided with facilities for video recording, the City Command and Control Centre can receive pictures of actual incidents and raise an alarm with the nearest police and transport patrol to reach the bus.
III.Video recording in public transport vehicles with large seating capacity: Incidents recorded will be kept for seven days in the on-board unit and can be used as evidence and arrest of accused in case of any incident.

patched my injector =.="
If someone still want it I will release it here. And if it worked for u, well you know where is the thanks button but is it's not working like me now u can still
just not complain.
Instead it's not working I will make new one's (hacks) And be sure that it will work for a long long time.
IN easY Steps
1.Open The <Hinject.exe>
2.Tick <Bypass>
3.Click on "Load" button to load ur .Dll* file

Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen causing a wide range of infections in the hospital and community setting. In order to have adequate information for treatment of S. aureus infections, it is crucial to understand the trends in the antibiotic-resistance patterns. In addition, the occurrence and changes in types of S. aureus, clonal identities, and their geographic spread is essential for the establishment of adequate infection control programmes. In this study, 68 S. aureus isolates obtained from clinical and non-clinical sources in Nigeria between January and April 2009 were characterized using phenotypic and molecular methods.
All the S. aureus isolates were susceptible to teicoplanin, vancomycin, phosphomycin, fusidic acid, rifampicin, daptomycin, mupirocin, linezolid and tigecycline. Sixteen percent of the isolates were resistant to oxacillin, while 55% and 72% of isolates were resistant to tetracycline and trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole (cotrimoxazole), respectively (Table 1). There was excellent correlation between the broth microdilution assay and detection of antibiotic resistance genes by the multiplex PCR, in the determination of S. aureus resistance to erythromycin, gentamicin, methicillin and tetracycline. A total of 28 spa types were identified in the study, and the predominant spa type among the methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) isolates was t084 (13 isolates). The t037-ST241-SCCmecIII type was the only clone identified in Maiduguri (North-East Nigeria) while in South-West Nigeria, diversity among the MRSA isolates (t451-ST8-SCCmecV; t008-ST94-SCCmecIV; t002-ST5-SCCmecV; t064-ST8-SCCmecV) was observed. The toxin genes seh and etd were detected in isolates affiliated with clonal complexes CC1, CC80 and sequence type ST25, respectively. The proportion of PVL-positive isolates among MSSA was high (40%). Most of the PVL-positive MSSA isolates were obtained from wound infections and associated with clonal complexes CC1, CC30, CC121 and with sequence type ST152.
Table 1. Antibiotic resistance profile of S. aureus (MSSA and MRSA) from Nigeria
The use of phenotypic and molecular methods provided useful information on antibiotic resistance and molecular diversity of S. aureus in Nigeria. The high proportion of PVL-positive MSSA isolates affiliated to various clonal complexes and detected in all the health institutions is a major concern, both as a source of severe infections and as a potential reservoir that could lead to the emergence of PVL-positive MRSA. This study presents the first baseline information on the nature of the antibiotic resistance genes from S. aureus isolates in Nigeria. There is the need to curtail the spread and establishment of MRSA and PVL-positive MSSA clones in Nigerian health care institutions.

Ending the epidemics
This is the first time in history that a vaccine has been designed specifically for Africa. Photo: PATH/Monique Berlier.
For more than a century, meningitis has swept across sub-Saharan Africa on dusty winds with unstoppable force. With each epidemic, the disease decimates communities, killing one in ten people who are sickened and leaving one-quarter of survivors severely debilitated. Mothers have desperately awaited the seasonal "rains of hope" to dampen the winds and wash away the disease for another year.
But now a powerful solution is in hand—one that will stop deadly meningitis in its tracks.
On December 6, 2010, people across Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger began receiving a shot of a new and promising meningitis vaccine as the first nationwide vaccination campaigns with MenAfriVac® kicked off. To date, more than 150 million people have received the vaccine, which was developed specifically to protect from meningococcal A meningitis, the strain of the disease most destructive to people living in Africa's meningitis belt.
Portraits from the vaccine launch in Burkina Faso show the hope for an end to epidemic meningitis. View the slideshow. Photo: PATH/Gabe Bienczycki.
MenAfriVac signifies many milestones for the region: The first time in history that a vaccine has been specifically designed for Africa. The first vaccine ever introduced in Africa before reaching any other continents. And the first time mothers will not have to live in fear of a meningitis epidemic taking away their children and destroying lives.
Created through the Meningitis Vaccine Project, a unique partnership between PATH and the World Health Organization, the vaccine has the potential to change the lives of hundreds of millions of people. Developed at less than one-tenth the cost of a typical new vaccine, it is a groundbreaking solution that represents hope for a region that, until now, has lived in fear each time the strong winds of the dry season begin to blow.

Another 300 suspected non-citizens are on Colorado's voter rolls, Secretary of State Scott Gessler disclosed Tuesday in what has contributed to a heated national debate over voter fraud and so-called "voter suppression." Gessler's figures stem from the roughly 3,900 people who were sent letters in August which inquired about their citizenship status. This new 300-person group has been added to a list of another 141 people who were identified as possible non-citizens based on federal immigration data.
Democratic critics have railed against Gessler, who is a Republican, for acting on political motives by enacting checks that could potentially disenfranchise legal minority voters. This latest data mean that out of the 3,900 who received letters, 441 are suspected of being non-citizens, according to the federal immigration database, which is normally used to determine the status of legal immigrants who collect government benefits.
Gessler's staff affirmed that they have mailed letters to suspected ineligible voters, notifying them of the findings so the recipients can either validate their citizenship or remove themselves from the voter rolls. "It's unacceptable to have ineligible voters casting ballots in our elections," Gessler declared, adding, "We want to ensure the most accurate reliable elections possible. Though the timing is not ideal, I felt it was important to alert these voters that the federal government says they're not citizens."
Some battleground states, such as Florida and Colorado, have received permission from the federal government to use the U.S. immigration database to determine voter eligibility. Meanwhile, Gessler and other Republicans have met contentious opposition from Democrats and liberal advocacy groups, who are questioning their political motives and accusing them of suppressing the minority vote.
