Gear List for Snowkiting in Wyoming...Long Day and Multi Day

Postby knewschool » Tue Feb 19, 2013 9:17 am

Hi guys,

This is an equipment list for snowkiting far enough away from the road that you could not walk or skin back that day. It might even make your shorter days dryer and warmer. I’ve noticed a bunch of kiters coming from areas with roadside only access or coastal kiting who could read this list over and be a few steps ahead when they get here and plan on skinning up to the epic stuff. The Jackson Hole Kiters are always looking for extra stuff for people. Even if you never plan on a multi day trip you might still find the overnight list useful as general knowledge. Just a couple of weeks ago I spent the night out unexpectedly but luckily was equipped. I was actually following a fellow Jackson Hole Kiter myself so it could happen to you too!

If you haven’t figured out how to roll your kite up and leave the bar attached without getting tangled 100 out 100 times when you pack it, it’s time to figure it out. You should skin uphill to your launch, pump the kite, ride away downhill unrolling your lines to swing your kite and go. You should NOT pump your kite, post hole your bar out unrolling lines, then post hole the lines back to the kite then tie them on straight while it’s blowing 25mph and -15f with your freaking bare hands, then post hole back to the bar, then post hole out to the side to launch. If you insist on the post hole method then you might want to stay roadside or get way left behind. Think about a transition where you go from kite to skin and back to kite. You’ll be an hour behind. Snowboarders, you strap your board on before you launch the kite. I know I’m preaching to the choir out there, but it needs to be said over and over.

I’m not really going over food, but I usually grab whatever is in my kitchen and shove it in my down coat pockets. I especially like a quick access zip lock baggie with a chunk of sausage and cheese, throw some crackers in the other pocket. There’s a banana and some almonds, and some Hershey’s chocolate, and some oatmeal for camping, some ramen in the corner there…

This isn't the only way to do things, but it's light, fast, dry, and warm. Hope this helps and feel free to add any tips or tricks!

Basics For any long day…

-Splitboard, skins, poles/ski’s AT or Tele, skins and poles

-Shell - breathable waterproof Gore-Tex, I like the Patagonia Pow Slayer

-Pants - breathable waterproof Gore-Tex are ideal

-Packable down coat (I have the Patagonia Fitz Roy for example), I always take it whenever I go off the beaten path. Even stopping for snacks and water with a down coat is awesome and they weigh nothing and pack quickly. If you leave snacks and such in the pockets, when you stop to snack you’re warm and have snacks on hand.

-Glasses- Better for skinning, even if your goggles are up on your helmet. Sometimes your goggles are fogged or iced and you can whip out your glasses just so you can keep up with the crew.

-Beanie – back up for dry headwear, nice for hiking, skinning, and sleeping.

-Balaclava – It’s nice if it easily fits in a pocket. I leave a thin one of these in my coat pocket all the time. I rarely wear it, but if it’s negative temps + wind you need to worry about all your exposed skin for frost bite. It adds a bit of coziness when you’re hanging around camp in the cold as well.

-Gloves – This is the ultimate tip right here. ... nit-wrist/ this glove is one amazing glove. Buy a pair or two of these (try them on for perfect fit, all Larges are not the same) buy some Snow Seal, throw them both in the microwave for about a min each. Just get them hot enough that you can barely put your hand inside and the Snow Seal is hot to the touch. Ovens work too. Put the hot gloves on and take a lotion sized scoop and pretend you’re putting lotion on your hands. Once they’re coated (even on the fabric part) toss them in the freezer for a min and then check them out. You might have to heat them 2 times because they can cool quick. They’ll be a little sticky and smooth at first, but they’ll get soft and awesome. When it’s cold try to get into the habit of putting your gloves up under your coat when you take them off so you don’t misplace them and they don’t ever freeze all the way. I used to carry spare gloves and down mitts until I figured these out. The cuff specifically works well to stay dry. Since your coat goes over the glove the snow easily falls out of your sleeve often keeping you dryer and warmer than a gauntlet style glove, and there’s no tucking the coat into the glove every time you slip the glove off. Also, the wax and leather combination works perfect for handling the sticky on skins for skis and splitboards.

-Layers – I can do a 0F overnight trip with one set of capeline midweight bottoms and midweight tops pretty comfortably. I used to take extra stuff, but I wouldn’t use it since it was colder to change. As long as you can stay dry you should be ok. For 2 days add a set of clean long undies, and go expedition weight for negative temperatures. I basically want to be wearing everything at night around camp and skinning with the lightest layering under my shells. The idea is to not sweat. You’ll obviously always sweat, but notice as you’re touring and kiting how wet you’re getting. If you are too wet to dry off quickly you’ll need to stop and vent to lose moisture. Wipe off the snow from your crashes. As the sun sets and you roll into camp you should be thinking about how to get perfectly dry quickly, where you’ll vent your zippers and shovel camp. Shovel until you start to get comfortably warm then stop and work on the smaller camp tasks like lighting a stove where you’ll get cold quickly. Once you are dry zip vents and go to the Down Coat. Keep shoveling and doing tasks, but at an energy saving rate so you stay comfortably warm.

-Ski Socks – I like a clean pair a day, but as you push multi days you’ll have to sleep with moist socks on to dry them out here and there.

-Shovel - Standard collapsible avy shovel, you’ll use your shovel to stay warm and vent your layers as you work on your camp, and it’s very necessary as Avalanche safety gear. You need to enjoy the sculpting of snow to keep warm. Sometimes I’ll dig just to stay warm for no reason while I wait for someone in the cold or something. A Lifty at a ski resort can work 7 days a week 8 hours a day outside staying warm with a shovel and basic layers. You’ll put your stove on your shovel blade to keep it from melting down in the snow while you cook and melt snow. Sometimes you want your shovel, but it’s under the stove.

-Rescue Probe necessary for Avalanche safety (you can use it to decide where to dig camp, I like deep snow for diggin all night, if you’re making a fire dig to the ground right off)

-Avalanche Beacon – necessary in any steep terrain. Along with an avalanche beacon, shovel and probe comes some basic but formal training. Ultimately you’ll learn how to judge the snowpack and assess layers to ultimately look for dangerous slopes as you tour the back country. People always say go with someone experienced and that’s true, but you should always think to yourself that if you get separated, you’re properly equipped gear and knowledge. So give thought to snowpack. It’ll help you find better kiting conditions if you keep your eye on that stuff anyways.

-Ditty bag - accessory cord (you may have to tie your ski to your foot one day and or fix a …) zip tie, kite bladder patch(for kite, sleeping pad, ripped down coat) Swiss Army knife, tooth brush, ibuprofen (help you sleep if you’re sore),soft ear plugs(snoring buddy, flapping windy tent…)2 lighters(you have to melt water so back that up) and headlamp (I’ll say this one again).

-Water Bottle –

Overnight Specific

-Large pack, Mountain Hardwear BMG (my pack) I fit everything here inside my pack, except my shovel, probe, kite pump and harness. I pack sleeping bag on the bottom no stuff sack for convenience; stove and kitchen stuff next, tent no stuff sack, then kite on top. I slide the bar in first still attached to the kite and the kite in last. Down coat is in the outside pocket for access. Harness is strapped on the very back. The small stuff is in the top pocket, and down coat pockets.

-0F or warmer down sleeping bag (ideally bag should be within 15F of actual forecasted temps)

-Sleeping Pad (I’ve been trying out one of those Big Agnes Air Core pads. It rolls up small enough to fit inside my pack)

-2 person single wall breathable tent is my favorite (any bigger and you’ll really have to squeeze it into your pack. They’re easy to set up and there’s no bother with a fly.

-Unleaded fuel stove, MSR XGK for me its 20 years old and still kicking. Don’t use it in your tent, and check it if you haven’t used it in a while. I like to have my own stove, even if everyone else thinks they can share one.

-Estimate 20oz of fuel per day... You can make that go 2 days, but sometimes the wind and cold hurt the efficiency and use extra fuel. Canister stoves don’t melt snow efficiently at high altitudes and cold temps, though I hear they’re improving.

-Larger size pot with lid (easier for melting snow)

-A plastic measuring cup that can take heat (use as a bowl and water scoop to fill water bottles from your pot)

-Headlamp (check batteries, take extras, even 2 headlamps… always important)

-Down Booties ( the expedition ones with the gators rule for stomping around in snow. I pull up the gator and tighten it around my leg then pull my pants down over the top. Works great.

-3 water bottles, one to keep full of water and drink which is like a 32oz and 2 smaller capable of hot water. The 2 are for hot water to keep your boots from freezing so get appropriate bottles…boil pot of water, fill water bottle, quickly put the water bottle in your boot, stuff wet sock on top. Put your down booties on with clean socks for the night. Put boots in your empty pack or stuff sack and pile snow on it (I often put my helmet with goggles in that bag) the water should be room temperature the next morning easily, and you don’t have to waste time melting snow for coffee, breakfast, and your day. Get the boots on quick once you dig them up and get the water in use so it doesn’t freeze. You’ll never thaw out a frozen bottle of water. Needing the water in the morning helps you get your boots on. I empty those 2 bottles before I move and carry the one full one. That’s all you get because even if you kept one extra full one might freeze before you could drink it depending on the temps. Test this stuff at home. I had a water bottle cap not fit right and spill the hot water into my boot just a couple days ago.

-Extra batteries – Keep batteries warm, in pockets, sleep with them and such. AAA’s in headlamps seem to do pretty well in the cold so I don’t bother sleeping with them.

Great list

The only thing I will add to your list...

I always feel more safe and confident when I take my Spot (personal locator beacon)
Cell phones do not usually work in the back country.

I'm also from the camp that keeps my lines attached all the time.
Such an easy thing to do with just a little practice.
Rig kite, slide down the hill while unwinding lines, launch.

Can you repost you glove link, it is a broken link here?

In addition to Will's listed items, I carry a detailed topographic map, a compass and a GPS and I know how to use them.

Also, for life or death emergencies, I carry an ACR ResQLink personal location beacon ( ... qlinkplus/)

Nice, thanks for sharing this. Y'all get some up there in the cowboy state for sure.

Our kiting spots in Utah are just big enough to go out for a little exploring, and potentially get yourself a full days walk from the road if ill equipped. My daily driver pack includes-

Light down jacket
Spot Tracker
Some food (like Will said, whatever, candy bars work great)
Water - at LEAST 1 liter
Climbing Skins - black diamond kicker skins or any skin trimmed skinny to save weight/volume as we are mostly dealing with low angle terrain.
Poles - I use black diamond carbon z trekking poles that I fit with powder baskets. Super light and packable. If you've ever tried skinning without poles you will pack poles next time.
Beanie and sunglasses - forget the helmets and goggles while hiking
Cell phone (depending on location - if no chance for coverage I don't bother packing it)

I almost never kite with avy gear (beacon, shovel, probe) our sites here just don't justify the extra weight. Sure, there is avalanche terrain around, but its all easily avoidable where most of us kite.

This is all relatively light on my back and I try to throw the pack on even if I don't think I'm going far from the road. Sometimes the wind comes up or the urge to travel strikes spontaneously. With this kit I don't worry much about getting caught out, windless, a half dozen miles from the road. I can walk out, in relative comfort, from the furthest point of any of our park and ride locations in a few hours.

Have fun!

Nice list, Will :thumb:

Actually, a lot of those tips apply to roadside kiters as well. It really irks me when someone asks me to launch their kite on a powder day.

I prefer mitts over gloves. My favorites are Hestra Heli Mitts. They come with handcuffs, so you can take off the mitts and they still stay attached to your wrists. I wear a pair of Monzella glove liners with the touch-tip fingers, so I can still work my phone without taking them off. I never pull them off on cold days.

Thanks guys! Good tips too, GPS, Spot Locaters...I suggest trying to memorize the terrain on Google Earth before you go somewhere new as well, and while you skin along keep confirming what you remember from Google Earth. That way you're constantly figuring where you are and seeking out a good route. Pascal's GPS one time kept Morely and I from spending an extra night out with only a splash of gas in our stove. It was already dark when I cracked it out and started trying to figure out how it worked. Figured it out though!

Here's that glove link. This is the most popular gloves for Lift Operators here at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and many other places. They're good for handling tools and objects in the cold such as skins, tents, stoves...Locals around here take them everywhere. Don't forget you need to treat them with snowseal. ... _item.html

That is absolutely beautiful!
Camping right in front of epic snowkiting terrain, likely all to yourself and the buds you brought in with you. Some day...some day....

800,000 Cards Overcharged At Wal-Mart

By  |

A computer hardware problem caused more than 800,000 credit and debit card transactions to be double- or triple-billed last week at Wal-Mart stores nationwide, according to officials at First Data Corp., which handled the electronic payments.

The excess Visa and Mastercard charges, which occurred Wednesday and were posted on Thursday, have been reversed, First Data spokeswoman Staci Busby said Sunday.

Busby said the problem showed up on reports the company generates for quality control purposes. She said it's unclear how many customers were affected, and that she had no other details about the hardware problem.

"Anyone who conducted a transaction with a Visa or Mastercard on March 31 should check their statements," Busby said.

Danetta Thompson, a spokeswoman for Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-Mart said Sunday the retailer had posted signs about the problem and was informing customers. She said signs in the stores direct customers to First Data's toll-free number, 888-893-0626.

"I feel like they've got their arms around the problem," Thompson said. "Those charges have been reversed."

Busby said some affected customers may not see the reversed charges on their accounts until Tuesday. She said First Data has instituted additional measures as a result of the overbilling.

First Data processes payments for retailers, moving money from consumers' accounts to merchants' bank accounts. The Greenwood Village, Colo.-based company has 30,000 employees and operates in 195 countries and territories.

Simon Schama’s Power Of Art: Bernini

Airs Thursday, May 13, 2010 at 11 p.m. on KPBS TV

Credit: Margherita Mirabella ©BBC

Above: Internationally acclaimed scholar and writer Simon Schama with Bernini's "Ecstasy of St. Theresa" in Rome's Cornaro Chapel, Santa Maria della Vittoria.

Gian Lorenzo Bernini - first boy wonder, then adult prodigy - was a man who defined the term "virtuoso." He was a sculptor, architect and composer, and known to be a dashing cavalier who was socially graceful, personally charming, and the personal friend of Pope Urban VIII, the patron of the arts. Bernini's sculptures had the quick breath of life flowing through them.

But Bernini did not have the field of fame to himself. There was another maker of architectural marvels breathing down his neck - Francesco Borromini. The two men hated each other. In the 1640s, abruptly, Borromini's star ascended while Bernini's fell. After Urban VIII died, the new Pope, Innocent X, became Borromini's patron. To make matters worse, cracks appeared in the bell tower Bernini had built for St. Peter's and (as Borromini gleefully pointed out) it was in danger of collapsing. The campanile was ordered to be demolished. Down with it came Bernini, from the height of fame and power to something of a laughing stock.

A miracle was needed to restore his fortunes. So Bernini made one: "The Ecstasy of St. Theresa," for the Conaro family chapel in the church of Santa Maria della Vittoria. This was the work that changed what sculpture could do, for Bernini made his marble saint levitate and quiver, born aloft by passion and faith. It was a work of irradiating power that hovered on the border between mystery and indecency. This was the greatest of the Roman wonders. It helped the church to hold onto the hearts of the faithful.

Watch video excerpts from the TV series online.

Video Excerpt: Simon Schama's Power Of Art: Bernini

This is not a series about things that hang on walls, it is not about decor or prettiness. It is a series about the force, the need, the passion of art ...the power of art. This series, by internationally acclaimed scholar and writer Simon Schama, tells us why art matters.

Calif. Homeowners Bill Of Rights Aimed At Easing Foreclosures

Michael Lea, director of SDSU's Corky McMillin Center for Real Estate, talks to Joanne Faryon about the Homeowners Bill of Rights.

Dr. Michael Lea, director of SDSU's Corky McMillin Center for Real Estate.

State Attorney General Kamala Harris released a package of bills Wednesday called the “Homeowner Bill of Rights.” These bills are designed to protect homeowners caught up in the mortgage and foreclosure crisis.

But the bills do not provide direct regulation, said Michael Lea, director of San Diego State University's Corky McMillin Center for Real Estate. Instead, they allow banks to come up with the practices that meet the bills’ guidelines.

“The regulation, if you will, is the threat of potential legal action that could overturn a foreclosure,” Lea told KPBS Television’s “Evening Edition.”

“It puts the onus on (lenders) to have this done right, to avoid some of the outsourcing problems that plagued earlier processes,” he added.

The bill of rights is aimed at creating a set of requirements lenders must accomplish before instituting a foreclosure process, he said.

“One of the major objectives of these bills is to provide more of a certain standardized transparent process,” he said.

Lea said the bill of rights codifies the agreements that were put into last month’s settlement with the nation's big banks over their foreclosure policies. While California obtained the “lion’s share” of that settlement, Lea said it would not have a big impact on the local housing market.

K-State Partners with Area Retailers for Football Promotion

K-State opens the season August 30 vs. NDSU

July 19, 2013

MANHATTAN, Kan. – K-State Athletics officials announced today the “This Family Wears Purple” football ticket promotion, a partnership with local and regional retailers that will allow Wildcat fans across the Midwest to purchase tickets to the November 16 Big 12 matchup with TCU.

K-State fans that purchase $50 or more in K-State merchandise at any of the participating stores below will receive a voucher for up to $40 off each ticket (limit two) for the home game vs. TCU.  Ticket quantities, which have been held exclusively for this program, are limited so fans are encouraged to act fast.

Participating retailers for the “This Family Wears Purple” promotion include:

• Cracker Barrel (Junction City, Olathe, Park City, Topeka)
• Finish Line (Manhattan, two Wichita locations)
• Joe’s Sports Time Fan Shop (Wichita)
• K-State Campus Store (Follett)
• K-State Super Store (Manhattan)

• Superstar Sports (two Wichita locations)
• Tad’s Locker Room (Wichita)

Since K-State entered into its current licensing agreement with Licensing Resource Group (LRG) in July of 2010, licensing royalties for the university eclipsed the $1 million mark for the first time in the department's history and have increased to $1.5 million annually.

Kansas State will take part in the 2013 Big 12 Football Media Days on Monday at the Omni Hotel in downtown Dallas, Texas. Representing K-State along with head coach Bill Snyder will be Tyler Lockett, Ty Zimmerman, B.J. Finney and Tre Walker. Complete media day coverage will be available at both www.k-statesports.com and www.big12sports.com.

K-State opens its doors to the new West Stadium Center and kicks off the 2013 season by welcoming two-time defending FCS National Champion North Dakota State in a special Friday-night contest on August 30. The contest is slated for a 7:30 p.m., kickoff and will be televised nationally by FOX Sports 1.

Season tickets for the upcoming season in addition to single-game tickets for the 2013 opener are sold out. Athletics officials have announced that 500 general admission/SRO tickets for seven of the Wildcats’ eight home games will go on sale Monday to the general public, while 500 additional seats from Oklahoma’s returned allotment will also be available. Tickets can be purchased online, by phone or in person beginning at 8:30 a.m. on Monday.

As We Enter A New Year...

I wish, my brothers and sisters, that during this year you may live nearer to Christ than you have ever done before.  Depend upon it, it is when we think much of Christ that we think little of ourselves, little of our troubles, and little of the doubts and fears that surround us.  Begin from this day, and may God help you.  Never let a single day pass over your head without a visit to the garden of Gethsemane, and the cross on Calvary.  And as for some of you who are not saved, and know not the Redeemer, I would to God that this very day you would come to Christ.  I dare say you think coming to Christ is some terrible thing: that you need to be prepared before you come; that he is hard and harsh with you.  When men have to go to a lawyer they need to tremble; when they have to go to the doctor they may fear; though both those persons, however unwelcome, may be often necessary.  But when you come to Christ, you may come boldly.  There is no fee required; there is no preparation necessary.  You may come just as you are.  It was a brave saying of Martin Luther’s, when he said, “I would run into Christ’s arms even if he had a drawn sword in his hand.”  Now, he has not a drawn sword, but he has his wounds in his hands.  Run into his arms, poor sinner.  “Oh,” you say, “May I come?”  How can you ask the question? you are commanded to come.  The great command of the gospel is, “Believe on the Lord Jesus.”  Those who disobey this command disobey God.  It is as much a command of God that man should believe on Christ, as that we should love our neighbor.  Now, what is a command I have certainly a right to obey.  There can be no question you see; a sinner has liberty to believe in Christ because he is told to do so.  God would not have told him to do a thing which he must not do.  You are allowed to believe.  “Oh,” saith one, “that is all I want to know.  I do believe that Christ is able to save to the uttermost.  May I rest my soul on him, and say, sink or swim, most blessed Jesus, thou art my Lord?”  May do it! man?  Why you are commanded to do it.  Oh that you may be enabled to do it.  Remember, this is not a thing which you will do at a risk.  The risk is in not doing it.  Cast yourself on Christ, sinner.  Throw away every other dependence and rest alone on him.

What She Read in the Newspaper, Saved Her Soul

A dying publican’s wife, in England, recently gave the following encouraging testimony, as narrated by the evangelist who visited her.  He says, “I was asked to go to a public house in Nottingham and see the landlord’s wife, who was dying.  I found her rejoicing in Christ as her Savior.  I asked her how she had found the Lord.  “Reading that,” she replied, handing me a torn piece of paper.  I looked at it and found that it was part of an American newspaper containing an extract from one of Spurgeon’s sermons, which extract had been the means of her conversion.  ‘Where did you get that newspaper from?’ I asked.  She answered: “It was wrapped round a parcel which was sent me from Australia.”  Talk about the hidden life of a good seed!  Think of that, a sermon – preached in London, conveyed to America, an extract reprinted in a newspaper there, that paper sent to Australia, part torn off (as we should say, accidentally) for the parcel dispatched to England, and, after all its wanderings conveying the message of salvation to that woman’s soul.  God’s Word shall not return unto Him void.

A Social Network Christmas

If Facebook was used to update people on the lives of Elizabeth and Zechariah regarding the birth of their son John and Mary and Joseph and Jesus' birth (Luke 1 & 2), this is how it might have looked.

This is an amazing work that was created and certainly, to the Glory of God.

Thanks to the J.C. Ryle profile on Facebook for sharing this.  Please share the video and check out the site dedicated to quotes from J.C. Ryle.

Don't Stand at a Distance, Please Come In

But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple. Psalm 5:7

Many misunderstand the word fear in this verse thinking it implies an emotion of being afraid, but it does not.

The word fear in this verse is the Hebrew word yirah (yir'âh), which means moral reverance.  So, to fear God, is to revere Him in the awesomeness of whom He is, the Creator of heaven and earth, the one who came to this world in the form of human flesh, who died for your sins and the sins of the world.

Don't fear going to church if you haven't been there in a long while.  His mercy toward you is far greater than you and I could possibly fathom, especially concerning how great is His love that He has shown toward us.  (Romans 5:8)

Jesus said that he would not turn away anyone who comes to him. (John 6:37).  Come to Him today.

I believe that as you come to know the immeasurable multitude of mercy that He has bestowed upon you that your life would reflect His great love for you through the death of His Son, Jesus Christ whom has atoned for your sins.

The follow is Charles Spurgeon's commentary from his work, The Treasury of David concerning this verse.

May it be an encouragement to you this Lord's Day.

With this verse the first part of the Psalm ends. The Psalmist has bent his knee in prayer: he has described before God, as an argument for his deliverance, the character and the fate of the wicked; and now he contrasts this with the condition of the righteous. “But as for me, I will come into thy house.” I will not stand at a distance, I will come into thy sanctuary, just as a child comes into his father's house. But I will not come there by my own merits; no, I have a multitude of sins, and therefore I will come in the multitude of thy mercy. I will approach thee with confidence because of thy immeasurable grace. God's judgments are all numbered, but his mercies are innumerable; he gives his wrath by weight, but without weight his mercy. “And in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple,” - towards the temple of thy holiness. The temple was not built on earth at that time; it was but a tabernacle; but David was wont to turn his eyes spiritually to that temple of God's holiness where between the wings of the Cherubim Jehovah dwells in light ineffable. Daniel opened his window towards Jerusalem, but we open our hearts towards heaven.

Apple Pay and other mobile payments technologies must overcome consumers’ security concerns, which pose a significant barrier to adoption. Based on findings from Kurt Salmon’s new mobile payments report, Jason Goldberg, senior manager in the Global Financial Services Practice, describes how security plays a big part in convincing consumers. “Demonstrating and communicating the security of the technology consistently and unambiguously is going to play a big part for banks and retailers in earning consumer trust and achieving mass adoption,” he is quoted as saying.

Crews respond to explosive device found in Herington

HERINGTON, Kan. Eyewitness News is learning more about an explosive device that was discovered near the town of Herington Saturday night.

Officials in Dickinson County say the device was found under a bridge along Vane Road near K-4. The package was wrapped in tape and located next to a milk jug filled with an unknown liquid.

Herington City Manager Ed Patton says he first received a call about the device at about 10 p.m. There were evacuations, but by 2 a.m. on Sunday, the scene was clear.

"I want my people to be cautious because I'd a lot rather them cry wolf and not need it than to have not done something to warn them - to be extra careful," said Patton.

Investigators say someone lit the fuse on the device, but the fuse never reached any explosives.

"I don't know if it was someone trying to make a statement or somebody trying to be disruptive, or if it was actually meant to be destructive," said Patton.

The Fort Riley bomb squad was called out to neutralize the bomb.

The sheriff's office says the explosion was small enough that it likely wouldn't have caused any damage. They call the bomb's design rudimentary.

Patton says even if the bomb was just someone looking for a little fun, there will be consequences.

"I really hope we're lucky enough to apprehend whoever was involved with it because this is something that's not a joke; no matter how funny they think it is," said Patton.

Herington City Commissioner Kat Souza wrote about the situation on her Facebook page.

"I'd like to thank the individuals that called this in and express gratitude for their understanding and need for evacuation until it was known they would be safe," she said.

Non-farm Kansas jobs to increase in 2017

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) A recent Wichita State University report says Kansas could see more than 12,000 new non-farm jobs in the coming year.

The Hutchinson News ( ) reports that there are over 1.4 million non-farm jobs in the state this year.

The report from the Center for Economic Development and Business Research at the university's business school forecasts that most of new jobs are expected to be in the service sector. Financial, education and health services, as well as leisure and hospitality sectors are also expected to grow.

Growth in trade, transportation, manufacturing and utilities jobs are predicted as well, but only by a little more than half of a percent.

The report says there will be a slight decline in federal and state government employment.

Taylor Baldwin

Accepted into Ph.D. program

As one of five children in her family, Taylor Baldwin has learned to rely on herself, a quality that has served her well.

“It’s the five of us and my mom,” says Taylor, a 2013 LaGrange College graduate from Woodstock. “She has her hands full, so we’ve all had to learn to be independent. If we want something, we’re driven to do it ourselves.”

For Taylor, the oldest of her siblings, the desire to earn a college degree was paramount. As a high school senior, she had joint enrollment at a large university in Atlanta and entered her first year out of high school as a sophomore at LaGrange College.

“I wanted to go to a college where I could play soccer, which I’ve done all my life,” she says. “I came to LaGrange College on a recruiting visit. The campus was beautiful and the people were so friendly. I didn’t apply anywhere else. I knew then that this is where I wanted to go.”

From the beginning, Taylor says attending LaGrange was completely different than going to class at a large university.

“When I went to that larger school, I had a lot of professors I had no way of even contacting; they came, they lectured, and they were gone,” she says. “We had no homework, just tests. I love it at LaGrange because I have close relationships with my professors and the people in my classes. Instead of having 40 to 90 students in a class, I’ve had anywhere from three to 20 at LaGrange.”

Like many freshmen and sophomores, Taylor was unsure of a major when she arrived on campus, but that all changed when she took an Introduction to Psychology course with a professor who noticed Taylor’s passion for both psychology and mathematics.

“She told me more about quantitative psychology and suggested that I major in psychology and minor in math,” Taylor says. “The college just introduced a minor in computational mathematics, and so I’m the first to graduate from here with that minor.”

Taylor was intrigued. Quantitative psychology would allow her the chance to research, to crunch numbers for the measurement of human attributes. The field of study centers around the “statistical and mathematical modeling of psychological processes, the design of research studies and the analysis of psychological data,” according to the American Psychological Association.

“There’s such a wide range of research in the field,” she says. “For instance, it might mean research for an advertising company so it can better market a product to a certain demographic, or during a certain season. You find connections that help predict an outcome.”

Taylor, one of the youngest LaGrange College graduates to cross the stage at the 2013 commencement ceremony, was one of six students nationwide to be accepted into the five-year Ph.D. program in quantitative psychology at Georgia Tech. In Atlanta, she’ll have an apartment with a 2012 LaGrange College psychology graduate who is in the same program.

“We’ll be roommates and work in the same lab together,” Taylor says.

Friends for the Journey

LaGrange College attracts the best and the brightest from all over the world. For example, our most recent incoming class consisted of men and women from 19 states and 10 countries, and included:

  • 76 members of Beta Club or the National Honor Society
  • 71 members of service organizations
  • 51 team captains in varsity sports
  • 25 leaders involved in student government, with 11 presidents
  • Three students involved in school publications, one as editor
  • Two Eagle Scouts
  • 20 musicians in band or orchestra
  • 18 singers in choir
  • 31 entertainers in performing arts
  • 85 students in religious activities.

But you don’t have to be a star in high school to succeed at LaGrange. Here, you’re given the opportunity to discover the best in yourself and find your destiny – all in a caring and supportive environment.

A New Word on the Internet

Look up: in Forest Hills, on Queens Boulevard and Seventy-first Avenue, atop the Tudor-style building at One Continental, above the Vitamin Shoppe and a palm-and-tarot reader, is a billboard owned by Lamar, the ubiquitous sign company. Lamar estimates that 125,000 people view that billboard per week. One morning, an artist named Julia Weist stood across the way from the sign, of her making, which reads “parbunkells,” displayed fifty feet wide.

CHANGES to the controversial bedroom tax moved one step closer after Labour and Lib Dem MPs joined forces to defeat the Conservatives in Parliament today.

The Affordable Homes Bill, which would see disabled people who need a spare bedroom or have adapted homes exempt from bedroom tax, as well as people who cannot be found smaller homes, was backed by 306 votes to 231.

The private members’ bill, introduced by Lib Dem MP Andrew George, will now be the focus of scrutiny at the committee stage.

Local government reporter Bill Jacobs writes: “On the face of it today’s vote is good news for many hard-pressed families and an embarrassment for the Tories.

“The Lib Dems will feel they have shown their independence and commitment to fairness despite the coalition.

“Now David Cameron faces a decision on ‘talking’ the bill out and looking callous, or accepting it with grace.

“A little egg on the political face might be worth it to remove the most obviously unfair aspects of the legislation so depriving Labour of the ‘bedroom tax’ stick in next year’s election campaign.”

Outstanding, scarcely believable, astonishing, brilliant. Trying to describe what has been witnessed at Turf Moor over the course of the last nine months or so will only lead to adjective fatigue.

Suffice to say that selling your key player the week before the season kicks off, then going on to win promotion using less than 20 players with a net spend of £450,000, (and smashing record after record along the way), is just about as close as you will get to witnessing a bona fide footballing miracle.

With that in mind, let’s celebrate this stellar season with a few gongs.

First up is Player of the Season.

An immensely difficult choice: Danny Ings and Sam Vokes were unquestionably the best striking partnership in the Championship.

Kieran Trippier’s right wing raids and lethal delivery put him at the top of the assists charts.

Tom Heaton was a major factor in making Burnley’s the meanest defence in the league.

And David Jones was metronomically excellent in central midfield.

Yet for this columnist’s money, the winner is Jason Shackell. Playing every minute of every game in any division is an achievement.

To do so in the hurly-burly of the Championship and defend with such consistent brilliance as the captain did is truly remarkable in this day and age.

Equally difficult is goal of the season. Danny Ings scored many memorable strikes; his 25-yard drive at Yeovil, the solo effort at Derby and THAT goal at Ewood.

Ashley Barnes’ first goal at Turf Moor against Wigan was a perfect team goal. David Jones’ exquisite strike against Derby was a peach.

But none of them can quite eclipse Junior Stanislas’ crisply struck, arrowed drive into the bottom corner against Blackburn.

Most Improved Player of the Season – no contest here.

By several country miles, Sam Vokes.

The Welshman was unrecognisable from the previous season.

From 20-minute cameos from the subs’ bench to one of the most feared and revered marksmen in the Championship.

As for Moment of the Season.

This is another category where Clarets supporters are spoiled for choice.

But really, it’s pointless to look anywhere other than the 79th minute at Ewood Park, when Danny Ings banished the 35-year hoodoo to send the travelling hordes into transports of ecstasy.

And finally, Word of the Year. Relentless.

Used in every pre-match and post-match press conference by the man who masterminded our promotion, his use of the word was, well, relentless.

Enjoy the summer. And prepare for next season in the Premier League.

Beware of fake LinkedIn profiles: Symantec

Dec 07, 2015 (LBO) – Global security software giant Symantec calls the users of LinkedIn to be skeptical when using the service as incidents involving fake LinkedIn accounts are on the rise.

Boasting over 400 million users, the Business-oriented social networking service, is a prime target for scammers looking to connect with professionals in a variety of industries, Symantec said.

Symantec has recently carried out a research on the fake accounts of LinkedIn.

As per their research findings, most of the fake accounts follow a specific pattern:

1. They bill themselves as recruiters for fake firms or are supposedly self employed
2. They primarily use photos of women pulled from stock image sites or of real professionals
3. They copy text from profiles of real professionals and paste it into their own
4. They keyword-stuff their profile for visibility in search results

The primary goal of these fake accounts is to map out the networks of business professionals.

Using these fake LinkedIn accounts, scammers are able to establish a sense of credibility among professionals in order to initiate further connections.

“In addition to mapping connections, scammers can also scrape contact information from their connections, including personal and professional email addresses as well as phone numbers,”

“This information could be used to send spear-phishing emails.” Symantec said.

According to Symantec, there are a few ways users can identify fake accounts:

• Do a reverse-image search (e.g., offers a browser plugin)
• Copy and paste profile information into a search engine to locate real profiles

Symantec says users of LinkedIn should be very skeptical of who they add to their network.

“If you’ve never met the person before, don’t just add them. We weren’t surprised to learn that these fake LinkedIn accounts received endorsements from real users.” Symantec further said.

If you suspect that you’ve identified a fake LinkedIn account, report it to the Fake Profile section of the LinkedIn help center.

The students submit their design and the winner has their artwork made into a lapel pin. From the many submissions this past election cycle, Katleyn Wahl’s design won the contest and her artwork was then made into a pin which poll workers wore on November 6th.

Randall "Duke" Cunningham, U.S. House of Representatives

Duke Cunningham, an eight-term Republican from California cooked up a kickback scheme that netted him $2.4 million in cash and gifts to grease the wheels for defense contractors. The companies could order up influence from his "bribe menu" -- one column offered $16 million in contracts in exchange for the title to a boat the contractor had bought for $140,000, according to a New York Times report. In 2006, he was sentenced to more than eight years for actions prosecutors said "undermined faith in government and wasted tax dollars." Former Rep. Randall " Duke" Cunningham, center, is helped by aides as he arrives at the federal courthouse in San Diego for sentencing on his conviction for bribery and tax evasion charges in 2006. (AP File)

Best Corporates: Reaching out

With a newly acquired majority stake in the Dominican Republic’s leading beer brand, AmBev is looking for further Caribbean expansion

Companhia de Bebidas das Américas’ (AmBev) move in April last year to take a majority stake in Cevecería Nacional Dominicana (CND), the Dominican Republic’s largest brewer, marked the culmination of eight years of the company’s expansion into the Caribbean.

The Brazilian drinks maker’s first steps into the region took it to the Dominican Republic in 2004, where it bought a majority stake in the country’s Pepsi bottler Emdobom for $60 million. In 2012, it spent $1.24 billion in its acquisition of a 51.06% stake in CND – a move that was emblematic of the company’s increased confidence in the area.

The move was "an important step to consolidate...
