How many mistakes have you made while hunting? I have made so many that I sometimes wonder how I ever manage to bag anything. One of those in particular happened many years ago and I still get a chuckle...

Do tree stands and range finders seem like a strange combination? Maybe not, both are needed and sometimes essential when bowhunting. Let's begin with tree stands. If you ever plan to actually shoot a deer with a bow you will certainly need to be up as high as possible in a tree stand. Probably 90% of all bow hunters are deer hunters first and foremost and maybe as time passes you will have the opportunity and resources to expand your horizons. So let's take a short look at what is required for other species. Cariboo hunting, most often will be done from the ground. I have never heard of anyone hunting cariboo from a tree stand. The Baron Ground Cariboo found in northern British Columbia, Yukon or Alaska are going to be found in sparse cover and usually on the move. Also the same scenerio applies to the Woodland cariboo you are going to encounter along the East Coast. Elk sometimes can be hunted from a tree stand, maybe over a mineral lick, but this again is rare. Moose, almost never, the one exception might be in areas where black spruce fill the forest. These woods are often so thick you are not able to walk through it. Here you will be hunting waterways, old roads, beaver ponds or large wet swamps. Here the moose may have trails into or out of these areas and maybe you could find a tree suitable for a stand, but personally, I would not carry a stand into these places. It would be too heavy and noisy. You would do better to slip in quietly and get down wind of the trail where you have the opportunity to move if necessary. Moose found in New York ,,Vermont, Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon, Alaska New Foundland, North Dakota, South Dakota will all be wanderers. They have tons of good brush all around them, they do not need to go to one specific spot to dine. You have to be able to sneak along quietly always using the wind in your favor. Cover ground until you find fresh sign then slow down, listen for the sound of branches snapping, when moose feed they make lots of noise. Be most attentive to the strange noises you make, a zipper grip tapping your binoculars, an aluminum arrow tapping the metal riser, brush scratching a pant leg. These are the strange noises a moose will detect instantly from distances you won't believe. A moose can turn one ear one direction while turning the other another direction to listen to two different noises.
Most of these situations I have described did not require a tree stand but they all will require a range finder. Most ranging devices today are small compact and accurate and I believe one of the first things a bow hunter should buy is a range finder. I hunted moose before range finders were available and I missed many good chances because I did not judge the distance correctly. First, back then the bows were slow so if you misjudged the yardage by 10 yards, you could shoot clean over a moose. Second, I was always on the move, trying to sneak around, either to locate the big boy or get close for a shot. Often to be caught off guard by a moose standing quietly at 20 yards watching this noisy fool trying to act like a squirrel. I would have to make a quick guess at the distance while getting an arrow out of the quiver and all the other good stuff that happens when you are caught off guard. Because of the excitement I almost always over judged the yardage, used the wrong pin and watched as the moose ran off chuckling to himself. Since I bought my first laser rangefinder I have never missed an animal that I fired at after first ranging it. You don't always have the time to range an animal and some get away but at least you are not spending your next 24 hours tracking a wounded moose through some of the dirtiest bush imaginable. Believe me, I've been there done that. I have been shooting a Mathews bow since 1997, it is fast and flat shooting. Had I been using this bow back in the eighties when I was completely missing animals I would have been wounding them instead. Not a good picture.
Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed many wonderful peaceful hours deer hunting from a tree stand, but I enjoy even better knowing that when I get that one chance at a nice animal that I now have the confidence to do it right because my range finder has already given me the exact distance. So tie yourself in, get comfortable and let your range finder guide you to success.
I was in the basement just looking over my hunting equipment and I started thinking back to 1981 the year I started bow hunting, and I wonder how many of you can recall the equipment we used back then....
I was in the basement just looking over my hunting equipment and I started thinking back to 1981 the year I started bow hunting, and I wonder how many of you can recall the equipment we used back then. I was born and raised on a dairy farm. I made many a bow out of young saplings and arrows from not so straight tree branches. This set up didn't shoot well but we had fun and worried the cats around the farm. Back then we never had an archery season. Most people didn't know what archery was. As I got older and started to work I again showed an interest in bows and arrows. I was reading a few articles about compound bows and decided to try this sport once again. I lived 50 miles from a bi city, and soon I found a used Jennings compound for sale with arrows. I knew nothing about proper fit or what shape the bushings were like. But the bow appeared in good shape and I could get it to full draw. It came with 4 fiberglass arrows that were in fair shape so I started practicing. About eight months later the Fish and Game Department announced that there would be an archery only moose hunt, and it was to be held in the county where I lived and grew up. The moose population had been growing in our area and now they were scaring those living in the cottage country. I started reading everything I could find on archery and moose. I found some 2016 Easton Gamegetters and some 150 gr. Satellite broad heads and now the practicing was getting serious. I can't recall the model of Jennings but , I know it was one of the lower end units. However it shot well and I finally found a store that checked the draw weight at 55 lbs. I mounted a rubber rest and a three pin sight and used a 3 fingered glove. A quickie quiver to hold the arrows and I was all set. I knew of a good area from previous deer hunts and the long awaited day was growing near.
When my mother found out what I had in mind she said, and I can still remember the words.( Don't be so foolish, you will get yourself killed. You poke one of those moose with those little sticks and they'll get mad and run over you. You make sure to get up in a tree before shooting at one of those moose).
Opening morning finally arrived and long before day break I was in the woods, dressed in a WWII army surplus camo suit with burnt cork all over my face and I was raring to go. Through the dim light I could make out 6 moose crossing a power line heading in my general direction so I took off to get ahead of them. When they entered the woods I was 60 yards behind but I could tell one was a cow, one small bull and one big racked bull. I don't know where the others went. I was peaking over the top of a hill at them so I gave a small bull grunt to get them stopped. They stopped and stared towards me so I grunted again. the bigger bull poked the cow with his antler, she headed off into the brush with him right behind. After a minute or two the smaller bull turned and started up the hill toward me. I thought of my mother and backed up against a big maple tree and when his head appeared over the top I estimate the distance to be 25 yards. Just then I heard a loud crashing off to my right. There was the big boy, coming down a long slope heading straight towards me, his head was down and swinging from side to side and he snorted with every step. He was coming to kick my butt, and so would my mother if she found out I wasn't up the tree. I started to turn to get into position and at approximately 20 yards he swung behind a spruce tree and stopped, peering out past it at me. I was on my knees and I slowly started to slide sideways to get an open shot at his vitals. I had about 1 foot left to slide when my knee snapped a branch. He turned behind the spruce hiding all the vitals. The young bull was still standing on the side of the hill also staring a this strange creature with the pointed stick. At that same moment he turned sideways getting ready to run. I figured one small bull is better than no bull, and he was in a great position for a shot so I swung the bow in his direction, aimed just behind the front leg and let her fly. The arrow struck perfectly and he took off down the hill and up the other side. the big boy turned and ran up the hill he had just came down and managed to keep that spruce directly between us the whole way. The bull I had wounded ran part way up the other side, stopped, stood for a few seconds and dropped. I couldn't believe it. My legs were weak and my heart was pounding so I leaned against the big maple for a few minutes before going to inspect my trophy. I got a cousin who was cutting wood nearby to come with his big tree farmer and winch the moose out of the woods for me. He hooked his long cable onto the moose right where it dropped and pulled it right to my pickup. Some of his crew helped me load it . I was out of the bush before lunch and when I pulled into the game check-in station I was informed that I was registering the first Moose ever taken in the county, and I did it all with one of those pointed sticks and a clothes line bow.
That was the beginning of many wonderful archery hunts and I am still slinging those pointed sticks today.

I'm a hunter, and a fisherman. It's what I like to do, it's who I am. And like many outdoorsmen, I believe it's important to have the right equipment for the job. And so, last year I picked up Ruger 10/22 Carbine at a gun swap. It seemed well suited to light duty use for smaller birds, gophers, possums, and other little critters. I took the little devil on a Moose hunt and shot 6 nice partridge without a miss. Seemingly, an ideal gun to carry on your quad for this type of hunt.
But yesterday I went to dispatch a few groundhogs that are causing havoc to neighbor's garden. Mister hog stuck his head up at around 60 to 70 yards and I could not keep the crosshairs on him because of the trigger pull. According to my fishing scale the pull is just shy of 3lbs. which I suppose is average for a most rifles. However, this little gun is short and light and a 3 lb. pull is too much. I don't want to spend a lot of dough getting a gunsmith to work on this so instead I reached out to the manufacturer and my fellow hunters for advice since, afterall ,my neighbors garden is depending on me fixing this issue. I'll explore the options, so check back soon to see how this issue gets addressed.

More lenses
Mount type
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Samyang is earning a reputation for good quality yet sensitively priced, high-speed full-frame manual focus primes. Can this new APS-C only 24mm equivalent model offer similar value and optical quality? Read on to find out.
Following on from the lens recommendations for the earlier full-frame Nikon D600, we've now had the opportunity to assess a wide range lenses with that model's replacement, the 24-Mpix D610. We've analyzed a total of 95 Nikkor and third-party prime and zoom models with the D610 to assess image quality, and we've come across some unexpected results. Read on to find out more about that and which lenses perform best when paired with the camera.
In the lead up to Photokina 2012, Canon announced the new Canon EOS 6D full-frame entry-point model within days of Nikon publicizing their most-affordable full-frame camera to date, the 24-Mpix D600. While the EOS 6D boasted some attention grabbing features including built-in WiFi and GPS and slightly undercut the Nikon on price, it couldn't match its rival in one or two key areas, namely the less populated AF system and lower resolution sensor.
The second in our series of selecting the best-quality lenses for your camera concentrates on one of the most highly-anticipated cameras of our time, the successor to the hugely popular EOS 5D Mark II. But by the time it was announced, in early March, it's probably fair to say Nikon had taken fair amount of interest away by announcing the 36M-Pix D800 and D800E models the month before. Be that as it may, there's no denying the 22.3 M-Pix EOS 5D Mark III is a remarkably capable camera, and a formidable rival to the Nikon.
There is a very particular look available to photographers who have a 'Super-Wide-angle' lens in their gadget bag, a 'look' that puts a whole new perspective on things. To get it you really need something quite extreme. Nikon do it, Canon do it, indeed most of the camera makers do it, but so do some of the independent lens makers. Of these who does it best? And do you get what you pay for?

U.S. Rep. Walter B. Jones had barely gotten in the door Monday when a contingent of leaders at the Havelock Senior Center approached, wanting to know if he had a funding solution to the congregate meals program that was recently cut in Havelock.
The 70-year-old veteran congressman said he wasn't aware of the problem but would look into it.
Craven County cut the meals programs in Havelock and Harlowe, citing budget issues. Jones said cuts are the symptom of bigger problem.
"We're probably in the most difficult financial times of my adult life," Jones told about 120 seniors and others that gathered to listen to him speak.
"The debt of our nation is right at $17 trillion. We're spending $1 billion a day to pay the interest on the debt. How much longer can that go on before the balloon will pop? At some point in time we're going to have to pay the debt back. It might be our grandchildren or our great-great-grandchildren, but it's coming. There's no way you can avoid not paying your debt."
It was a concern he expressed earlier Monday to business leaders at the Havelock Tourist and Center.
"It's time to get out of Afghanistan," he said. "We're supporting a crook named Karzai, whose brother's in the drug dealing business. We're spending right about 6 or 7 billion dollars a month in Afghanistan. All that money being spent is very low on accountability."
Jones said he would rather see that money spent in this country, rather than in a faraway place rampant with abuse and corruption.
"When I look at you and your faces, I just think that that money going overseas could be spent right here in Havelock or in Jacksonville, where I'll be tomorrow," Jones said at the senior center.
He added that he would be in opposition to involvement in Syria.
"I don't want to see any more kids go lose their legs or their lives in a foreign country that we never declared war on," he said.
The Republican congressman took questions from the group at the senior center, trying to address all concerns but admitting on a couple of topics that he didn't know specifics.
Nate Johnson, from the local Havelock chapter of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees organization, said his main concern was a proposal to use a consumer price index formula that he said would result in higher taxes and less benefits for federal retirees.
"I have publicly said that I will not support CPI and I don't think that that's an answer that we need to get this country straight," Jones said. "I'm with you 100 percent and I'm opposed to any change."
Inga DeRoche asked Jones why the United States continues to help countries rebuild in a time of war when it's never going to be paid back. DeRoche's comments drew applause from the crowd.
"I'm with you 100 percent and I will tell you that I've been there for 20 years and I have not once ever voted for a foreign aid appropriations bill," Jones said. "I am just sick and tired of making somebody in a foreign country rich while the poor people in our country stay poor."
Doug Arden and Shirley Selepes expressed concern over the recent closure and operational review of the Stars N' Strikes Bowling Center at Cherry Point.
Jones said he wasn't aware of the specifics but believed lack of money was the reason.
George Wooten said he enjoyed listening to Jones.
"I thought he was very good," he said. "I think Walter Jones is behind the city of Havelock. If you have a question, he will give you an answer. It may not be the one you want, but he will get back with you. A lot of other congressmen in other states won't do that."
Mary Bell also said she appreciated Jones' appearance at the senior center.
"I thought it was very good, and Congressman Jones is to the point and he's for us," she said, specifically mentioning Jones' comments on the budget. "I agree 100 percent. And I kind of think if you put some housewives in there, we'd balance the budget."

CHARLOTTE – The good news for the Charlotte Bobcats is that second-year point guard Kemba Walker continues growing by leaps and bounds and had a career-high 32 points on Saturday night.
The bad news?
Even that wasn't enough for the Bobcats to end their losing streak as the Orlando Magic made a late burst for a 107-98 victory that extended Charlotte's misery to 11 games.
It's the fourth-longest losing streak in the nine-year-old franchise's history; Only the 23-game losing streak that ended last season, the 16-game losing streak earlier last season and a 13-game losing streak in the middle of the 2005-06 season are longer.
And the schedule certainly doesn't get easier for the Bobcats.
In fact, after starting this week's four-game, five-day road trip with games at the Los Angeles Lakers (10-14) and Phoenix (9-15), the Bobcats don't face a team that entered Saturday with a losing record again until Dec. 29 at home against New Orleans (5-17).
"It's tough," said Walker, who converted 11 of 20 shots and eight of nine free throws to go with seven assists. "Nobody likes losing and it's all on us. I think we've had too many slow starts and we have to pick it up from the tipoff."
That certainly happened again Saturday, as Orlando fell behind briefly at 6-3 but led all but 38 seconds the rest of the night. Charlotte held 67-66 and 93-92 leads, but the Magic (10-13) responded each time to retake control.
The final lead came with 4:09 left on a driving layup by Walker with 4:09 to play. The Magic then closed the game on a 15-5 surge.
"I'm trying to get better," Walker said. "That's all you do at this point. I'm just doing whatever I can do to help my team win basketball games – no matter how many points I have."
Gerald Henderson, back in the starting lineup for the first time since Nov. 3 – or before he sprained his left foot, added 16 points, Ramon Sessions 14 and Byron Mullens 14.
For Orlando, which has won three of its last four games, got 20 points apiece from Glen Davis and Arron Aflalo.
Notes: When the Bobcats embark on their first West Coast road trip of the season, they'll be hoping to change tradition. The Bobcats not only have a eight-game losing streak in such games that dates to the 2010-11 season, but they're only 20-48 on those trips in their history – with only four winning records in 16 total trips. "It's stiff because of the back-to-backs," said Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap, whose team is 3-3 in back-to-backs this season….
Orlando's visit gave Dunlap a reunion with former St. John's player Maurice Harkless, who played for Dunlap in college last season. "He was a pleasure to coach," Dunlap said. "And every time we coached him, he would improve. I'm really happy for him."…
Charlotte had a 7:30 p.m. start time because Time Warner Cable Arena hosted Charlotte Checkers' 3-0 AHL victory over Houston earlier Saturday. How much time did it take to change arena from hockey to basketball? Two hours, six minutes….
The Bobcats embark on their first extended road trip of the season – a four-game in five-day swing that begins Tuesday at the Los Angeles Lakers. On Wednesday, it continues in Phoenix, before moving to Golden State on Friday and Denver next Saturday. The next home game is Dec. 26 against Miami.

Photography is the art and practice of using light to produce images and record them onto certain sensitized surfaces, usually chemically coated plastic film or a memory card. These materials are embedded inside cameras, devices that take photographs. There is no limit to the subjects a person may photograph. Common subjects include landscapes, people, commercial products, food and buildings, among others. Modern photographers use both analog and digital cameras.
Analog cameras contain a curved glass lens, a shutter and film. As light rays naturally reflect off the photo's subject and hit the lens at different angles, the lens redirects them to a point behind the camera's aperture to form a real image. When taking a photo, the camera's shutter opens as the film inside is placed to where this real image is. Light then hits the film, initiating various chemical reactions that expose the film. The shutter then closes and fresh film is moved behind the shutter for the next picture. These cameras yield better image quality and do not require electricity.
In digital cameras, the redirected light rays hit a semiconductor sensor that converts the light into electrical energy. A firmware drive interprets the electrical energy into binary code that represents every pixel of an image. This information is then recorded onto an internal memory storage unit. Digital cameras provide better convenience, portability, storage and ease of development. (Photo: Wikimedia Commons)

Givenchy Gentleman
Giorgio for Men
Mazzolari Patchouli
HdP Noir Patchouli
I'm in love with this note in scents. Probably because, as a note itself, it offers so many different facets in terms of the depth, powdery nature and it's unique earth like texture.
Here are some of the scents that i've either sampled or own that i'd recommend anyone interested in this accord to try..
L'Artisan Parfumer Patchouli Patch - Soft, Silk like patch with trademark smell of fine, light brown mud. vanilla provides hint of sweetness which adds to the powdery aura of this gem.
Ulrich Lang Nightscape - Oh what a dream...if there ever is a poetry describing Patchouli, then it has to be this beautiful release from the house of Ulrich Lang. We get to experience a multifaceted scent..almost like a hologram. The unique aspect of this scent is it's skillful blending with white florals. which makes it all the more interesting, in that, this scent still manages to be a Patch prominent scent. lovely!
Serge Lutens Borneo 1834 - Niche version of A*Men. Cocoa dusted over Patch. Chocolate accord is perfectly complimented with Patch. a very unique blend, in that, neither of them overpower each other.
Parfumerie Generale Intrgrant Patchouli - I guess this is what they refer to as a "hippie" version when it comes to patch. It's raw, gritty patch...almost smells like being in a tobacco shop. it carries a menthol like coolness which is another charateristic of patch based scents.
Givenchy Gentleman - Probably the "only" designer release which contains Patchouli in such high concentration and purity. A seminal release which is next to none.
Histoires de Parfums Noir Patchouli - Just cant get enough of this one. This is my go to scent for evenings. A scent which i wear to create an air of mystery, and it does! It;s said to combine rose with patchouli...but i dont think it;s rosy. floral? definitely yes. something like black rose if theres such a thing. This is one of those rare patch based scent that doesnt come across as muddy/earth like..it's much darker.. it's probably the smell of mud in a dark forest...creepy huh..yeh it is. again, as with all HdP releases, it has a sublime drydown of patch and vanilla. simply divine.
Chanel Coromandel - This one, i somehow feel is a lighter version of HdP Noir Patchouli. for all we know, Noir Patchouli would've been inspired by this release. Coromandel is much more on the floral side yet, the use of Patch is distinct and adds the characteristic coolness in begining and earthiness towards base. It's stylish and suave
What are your recommendations?

Love, love, love Givenchy Gentleman. Lorenzo Villoresi's Patchouli is excellent but a bit stark for some.
Aramis for Men
Van Cleef & Arpels Pour Homme
Halston Z-14
Agua Brava
If someone said I could just have one patchouli fragrance, it would be Comme des Garcons Luxe: Patchouli. That being said, Chanel's Coromandel comes a close second.
Etro Patchouli is a lightish, herbal take and Parfums de Nicolai's Patchouli Homme has rose, spices and delightful green weirdness.
Ice*Men is probably my favorite patchouli. albeit im not exactly the most experienced person for fragrances, but out of the fragrances ive tried with patchouli, i find this one very refreshing and very...cooling? (hey it is Ice*Men!). i find it serves it purpose very well in the scent
on the topic of patchouli, ive also found myself to be allergic to patchouli upon first sniffing it. anything with a strong patchouli note will give me an aweful headache...but somehow upon 2nd wearing/trying, i find myself loving it with no adverse effects. its such a strange note to me, but its still a great, earthy addition to a fragrance
* pls pardon my spelling errors.. my threads are usually on the fly and i never double check...it's now apparent that my brain and my fingers - are not in sync
strollyourlobster - so nice to see you around ! you need to review least one scent that marvelled you one of these days
Sugandraja love that name bro!
Guys - excellent recommendations so far! thnx much for your time!
Neuroticheese: excelletn recommendation...i need to sample it one more time since i like A*Men.

Snarky is as snarky does.
1000 by Jean Patou. Stealthy patchouli.
If fragrance has a gender, so does all art.
Heehee... conveniently, this is the next note I decided to explore after iris and I just ordered a whole bunch of samples from the perfumed court
My only personal experience with this note so far is Tom Ford's Purple Patchouli. I don't detect any patchouli note in the opening and the mid notes, but I can pick it up in the basenotes and it's just gorgeous.
A Patchouli Club? Cool, this is my kind of thread!
Mazzolari Lui is the most brutal, aggressive patchouli scent I know. The patchouli in it is heavy, gritty, and hits you like a jackhammer.
I think Mazzolari Patchouli is the best patchouli scent I've ever smelled, followed closely by Givenchy Gentleman (any formulation).
Givenchy Gentlemen
Mazzolari Patchouli
Chanel Coromandel
Bois 1920 Real Patchouli
Les Nereides Patchouli Antique
Profumum Patchouly
Micallef Patchouli
Molinard Patchouli
All of them good and bring something different to the table.
+1 on HdP Noir Patchouli & Gentleman Givenchy
But even as a supportive note, the multi-faceted patchouli is still awesome.
CBIHP Patchouli Empire is a really good woody with patch playing second fiddle. It's g2g.
By Killian Straight to Heaven - Rum and patch. Boozy and rich (and expensive!).
Polo - Nothing more needs to be said.
A*Men - Gourmand patch.
Right now, the frags that I like the most with at least reasonably strong patchouli are Michael for Men and Messe de Minuit.

Mazzolari Lui & Coromandel.
I find Lui almost a personal comfort scent, I think because for a year or so in 1973 Patchouli Oil was all I wore. Lui is not shy but it's very affable.
Coromandel is a great dressed up evening number, IMO - who would have thought patchouli could go black tie so effortlessly?
Great thread jenson. I rarely wear patchouli in summer (not sure why) but reading your thread I now have an inkling to. I tested Nightscape but I don't remember the florals being that prominent in it. Maybe I'll retest this again.
Another vote for the magnificent PATCHOULI HOMME ( the best IMO ) by Patricia de Nicolaï
Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."
Clarice Lispector ( 1920-1977) - Perfumes da Terra / Earth Perfumes
Patchouli Club? Sign me up please! I have let plenty of these from the list above lead me around by the nose over the years. Right now my favorite is Ulrich Lang Nightscape because it is light enough to still be attractive in warmer weather. Nightscape is like a whisper that becomes a memory - very ethereal.
I also am a fan of Micallef Patchouli, Patchouli Patch, Patchouli Empire and Mazzolari Patchouli. For now though Nightscape will do it.
Guys - Thanks very much for chiming in!! You know it means a lot to me.
Buzzlepuff - thank you for sharing all those wonderful samples which included Nightscape...it was probably the reason i "had" to post this thread it's such a sleeper...of all the time i have spent on BN..i somehow missed out of this one.
btw, i think it's about time i sample Mazzolari, Micallef, PdN and the rest... really sounds interesting. Any other hidden recommendations such as Nightscape...? i mean, scents which is not necessarily released as a Patchouli scent?

Thanks for this thread Jenson! Patchouli is my favorite note...
My three all-time favorite fragrances are all patch-heavy:
Aramis 900: fresh, floral patchouli with an intoxicating chypre drydown
Guerlain Heritage EDT: warm, woodsy, ambery patchouli
Profumum Thundra: earthy, green, musky patchouli
...I really gotta try Mazzolari Lui.
I wanna say something. Im gonna put it out there. If you like it, you can take it, if you dont, send it right back ."
Bois 1920 Real Patchouly and Givenchy Gentleman are my two current favorite patchoulis. Nightscape is definitely on my test list, as is Coromandel.
"It's not what you look like when you're doing what you're doing; it's what you're doing when you're doing what you look like you're doing."
Bois 1920 Real Patchouly is indeed a nice one! one of those wearable Patch scents...saying so, it's cannot be tamed it;s patchouly alright!
what i like about RP is the fact that it's creamy. olfactory equivalent of patch/vanilla based cold cream

Patchouli Noir by Il Profumo is breathtaking and I believe a really original patchouli based fragrance. It remains earthy with a slightly floral/ slightly vanilla background without going along the chocolate/ cocoa route favoured by so many.
Wearing Nightscape today. Yes, it's lovely here in the heat. When I sniff my skin up close I get a nose full of florals, but very subdued far off (a bit like the florals in Sycomore). A clear, green, floral, summer patchouli. Wonderful!
MPGs George Sand, a wonderful patchouli scent.
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
Hey Jen, I am happy you enjoyed Nightscape! Also am happy everything arrived just fine from halfway around the world. I need to give full credit to Kevin Guyer for pointing out Nightscape a couple months back - I had to try it from his recommendation and he definitely found a great patch fragrance in this new offering from Ulrich Lang.

Patchouli Leaves by Montale
My favorite for now is Bois 1920 Real Patchouly.
If you love patchouli and you liked L'Instant de Guerlain ph, you owe it to yourself to seek out the 'Extreme' (EdP) version. It's the good old L'Instant you know and love, but with a big slug of patch in it (not the hippie/earthy type, but more the refined Coromandel/Borneo 'cocoa' style)
Patchouli Leaves by Montale
Costume National Pour homme (spicy patchouli)
I have tried just 3 patchouli based scents (I dont count A*Men, etc as patchouli based even if they have huge dose of that).
L' Artisan - Patchouli Patch - most civilized one. Not very complex. If I should describe it with two words it would be: "Soft patchouli"
Parfumerie Generale - Intrigant Patchouli - this is most complex one. There are lot of spices here. So this is the "Spicy patchouli"
Montale - Patchouli Leaves - this is most foody one. Vanilla and amber give it almost gourmand quality so for me Patchouli Leaves is "Gourmand/Foody patchouli"
TOP 3 hot weather:
1. Gucci Pour Homme II
2. Lalique Encre Noire
3. Creed Millesime Imperial
TOP 3 cold weather:
1. Dior Homme
2. Eau Des Baux
3. L'Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme Extreme
I own Patch! It is one of my favorites. I love it!
Dior Patchouli Imperial
Want to trade - Chanel Platinum Egoiste for Dior Eau Sauvage...
Micallef Patchouli
Rive Gauche pour Homme
One more to add to this growing list is Nasomatto's Hindu Grass - earthy with a lot of oomph! One of my favorites. For the sweeter, hippie vibe, I like Patchouli Patch.
I'm terrified to disagree. Patchouli Patch has lots of imortelle / straw flower to it - You would agree if You knew the raw oil. That is the important second component, the "patch" as to say.
Regarding a recommendation I'm a bit lost. Patchouli is so widely used, the quest for a classic frag which in contrary doesn't sport it could be more of a challenge. As ever I'm pleased to give a hint on the Etat Libre d'Orange line. May be that the Nombril Immense could come close to Your first description of the Patch-thing. I like it a lot too and thankfully own both. The Nombril has a full bodied yet bone dry woody vibe with tons of sensuality from vanilla/opoponax and whatever. In particular I'm fond of the late but nonetheless fresh camphorous drydown which is the one partner in patchouli. The dirty/oily is missing, though.
Just in the moment I grabbed the Nombril and applied - really exquisite stuff and reiterated much preferred over L'Artisans Timbuktu. It could feel a bit pretentious.
From my experience the Patch of L'Artisan is clearly (and finally) identyfied as a patchouli by most non-voluntary recipients. But due to the lift by immortelle it won't bother these. Sophistication lies in its simplicity here - just a patch.
Mon Parfum Cheri par Camille (Annick Goutal)
Most interesting patchouli to turn up for a year or so, EDT & EDP.
Micallef Patchouli and L'instant de Guerlain Extreme definitely
Givenchy Gentleman has a special place in my heart..i credit it with starting my fascination with fragrances and
is also one of the first images that come in mind when i think about masculine fragrances

+1 for Thierry Mugler Ice*Men. This is an amazing icy/watery mentholated patchouli that I love to wear year round in all seasons. It's my go to energizing and refreshing fragrance.
I LOVE the way Heritage de Guerlain does patchouli in the drydown. Superb.
Patchouli is one of my fave notes so this thread really peaks my curiosity

More oversight needed to achieve billions of dollars in IT savings
Tuesday - 11/12/2013, 4:50pm EST
The government spends around $80 billion a year on information technology. The administration has been concentrating on two initiatives to help get it under control. One is reducing spending on operations and maintenance so there's more money for innovation. The other is PortfolioStat, under which agencies try to identify and root out duplicate spending.
Two recent investigations from the Government Accountability Office on IT say these efforts aren't doing enough.
David Powner, GAO's director of IT and management issues, told the Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp Tuesday that agencies are supposed to conduct annual reviews of investments in operations and maintenance.
"This review is very important, because what it does is it ensures that the investment is still meeting mission needs, that it's the most efficient way of doing it," he said.
This way, agencies can determine, for instance, whether it was better to go to the cloud rather than coming up with a homegrown solution or whether new IT investments duplicate existing ones.
GAO looked at the top 10 O&M investments in the federal government, which account for approximately $8 billion in spending or 10 percent of the federal IT budget. Of those 10 investments, only one — a Customs and Border Protection infrastructure project at the Homeland Security Department — had the annual review conducted.
"That's really not good because we're in a situation where we have $8 billion in these 10 investments and nine of them aren't getting the critical look that they deserve," Powner said.
GAO's Portfoliostat review identified 200 duplicative initiatives across the federal government that could be the source of an estimated $6 billion to $8 billion in savings.
"This is real money and there's a lot of duplication," Powner said. "There's better ways of doing things and we really need to scrutinize the steady-state investments."
The call to end duplicative programs is not a new one. The Obama administration released its 25-point IT reform policy in 2010 and launched the PortfolioStat initiative last year to help agency chief information officers get a more complete picture of where their money is going and what opportunities are out there to consolidate buying.
Although Powner called these "great initiatives," GAO's reports have found that they lack sufficient accountability.
"We find in many of these reports — and these two current reports are falling into the same boat here — they're well-intentioned initiatives, they're poorly executed and really there's not enough accountability," he said. "The PortfolioStat Initiative — we now have 200 initiatives. We know what agencies those initiatives are at. We know what the associated dollars are and that really needs to be driven home so that we get the savings between $6 billion and $8 billion."
The problem as Powner sees it is that the government develops great plans which start out well but lack sufficient follow through.
"I think what we're faced with and with many of these initiatives is that there needs to be clear accountability," he said. "There needs to be clear leadership coming out of [the Office of Management and Budget]. Also leadership out of the various departments and agencies. This is right in the wheelhouse of chief information officers and what they should be doing and be focused on. I think that those are the individuals, ultimately when we look at leadership, that's where it needs to start."
Despite these concerns about the lack of accountability and follow through, Powner said PortfolioStat does offer real opportunities for real savings through identifying and consolidating duplicative initiatives.
"I believe those savings are through 2015, so it's right around the corner," he said. "It's not like these are way out in the future, the $8 billion in plan savings. That's something that the Congress is already asking us to follow up with in future, this next year to make sure that those 200 opportunities get a close look."
OMB did not see eye-to-eye with GAO on every portion of the PortfolioStat report, agreeing to about half of the report's recommendations.
"But some of this we would like to see a little more transparency on the opportunities that are out there and also the expected savings," Powner said. "Because, I think, OMB initially was saying there was about 100 opportunities and a $2.5 billion pricetag on those 100 opportunities. And we actually found double that — 200 opportunities and up to $8 billion in savings. So, we would like to see even greater transparency coming out of OMB on what these opportunities are so that we in fact can get the associated savings."

Ever since I started this hobby, I was always interested in the black art of the inductor. Hardly anyone seems to know what value certain inductors were and from what I have been reading, two measurements seem to be the most important: inductance and resistance. Based on this, I purchased and tested a number of inductors from part numbers mined from the forum and some guesses I made when looking at the spec sheets.
Before you read any further, from what I have been reading, the Fasel inductors Dunlop sells are actually spec'ed pretty good. Although higher than the magical 500mH, they do hover between the 500mH-600mH mark with very low resistance. The yellow seems to have more resistance than the red, but not by much.
The 42TM024 just happens to hit right around the 435mH mark, but with high resistance. The 42TM022 is very versatile with 252mH, 800mH and 190mH in different combinations with relatively low resistance.
The 42TL024 comes in with 1.1H at the primary.
S = secondary
P = primary
o = outside lead
m = middle lead
R = ohms resistance
S o+o = 435mH 160R
S o+m = 102mH 76R
Possibly good for midrange circuit??? Possible use in wah?
S o+o = 252mH 46R
P o+o = 800mH 60R
P o+m = 190mH 32R
All kinds of uses?
S o+o = 196mH
P o+m = 1.1H
Close to 1.5H but not quite.
S o+o = 161-187mH
S o+m = 36-43mH
P?? no reading
Fasel Red 580mH 15R
Fasel Yellow 540mH 23R

Even if the current economic conditions aren't good, history has shown that precious metals such as gold and silver will continue to hold their value. One of the main reasons behind this is that these metals are constantly in high-demand from investors and coin collectors looking for tangible and safe assets.
Now the general public and 'mums-and-dads' investors can easily buy these metals in one of two ways: either buy and keep the metals yourself using your after tax-dollars, or buy them by using a Gold 401k or even an IRA Profile. Investors the world over have known for thousands of years that gold and other precious metals are worth spending their hard-earned cash on for a little something that is risk-free. It's undoubtedly an effective investment technique, and with the Internet, it's now even easier to buy your gold. Today I'm going to cover some basic things that you need to know if you're looking to buy gold online.
Always Diversify
If you have an existing portfolio, don't commit more than 10% – 30% of your total resources to gold. It's always good to diversify your risk when accumulating assets and by sticking to a small amount of gold or precious metal assures you a favorable investment without forking over excessive funds. Some investments are riskier compared to others, and by purchasing physical gold or silver, you can rest assured that you are investing in something that will hold its value and that has a very good long-term outlook. The other thing to do is don't buy all your precious metals at once. Try to spread out your purchases so that you minimise the risk of buying all your allocations at a high price.
Take Advantage Of IRAs
If you can, try to buy your gold with your pre-tax dollars. Instead of trying to buy precious metals yourself, there are actually companies out there that will help you out on effective ways to invest in physical gold and silver and send it to you directly. A particularly cost-effective way to purchase precious metals is by using an Individual Retirement Account or even Gold 401K account. These companies will not only help you setup these accounts, they will also store your gold for you. To find a reputable gold IRA custodian to handle all this for you, check out these excellent and informative reviews of gold IRA companies at http://thegoldirareviewer.com before you make the final decision to invest. They will explain all the advantages and disadvantages of using your IRA and how the whole process works.
Keep An Eye On Global Events
Be aware that events happening around the world can influence the price of gold and other precious metals. By keeping abreast of current world events, you will be able to spot opportunities to buy gold at reduced prices. Gold usually performs well when the global economic climate is in a troubled state. As most currencies are no longer backed by gold, more traditional forms of investments an suffer sudden and dramatic losses in value, unlike gold which will move in the opposite direction in these circumstances.
So keep these things in mind if you're considering buying some gold online to ensure you're making the right decisions.

Classic Flutophone 5 5
Music Lessons While in grammar school, my sister took lessons on a Flutophone. She would sit in our room and practice the scales by playing each note three times. My aunt who lived next door used to come to the window that faced our room and toot along with her. I gave my sister the Flutophone for Christmas. She looked at it with great surprise. She looked at me and we both said together "Aunt Rosie" remembering those happy days. Thanks for the walk down memory lane January 13, 2015
Fun Purchased it to get the grandkids involved with music. May 16, 2014
Happy I am happy to find these. I ordered for our whole family. I played these back in grade school ( a long time ago!) I AM very sorry these did not come with instructions! Are there any available? February 24, 2014
brings back old memories I remember having to take this in school many many years ago. I didn't think they made them as the ones now are just simple black things so purchased one for me and one for one of my grandkids. My dog doesn't like it, as he sure sings with it. Fond memories for sure....and for the future too when she opens it up and plays it for the first time..... December 13, 2013
Childhood Memories Growing up my sister had a Flutophone that almost drove us crazy until she learned to play songs. We had lots of laughs and fun with this little gem. When I found it at the Vermont Country Store I just had to get it for my sister who is now 71 years young. She can still play the Christmas songs she learned as a child. This is a fun gift for anyone learning to play simple tunes. Thank you Vermont for bringing back great childhood memories. December 3, 2013

HUNTINGTON BEACH – Troy High School team members rose from their seats amid applause to accept first place in the OC Science Olympiad on Friday at Golden West College.
Few expected anything less. This is Troy's 18th consecutive win.
"I was a little surprised," said Sean Muleady, 17, of Troy High. "The schools seem to be getting better and better. There's a lot of competition."
Six teams will go on to the Southern California Science Olympiad in April at Canyon High School. The preliminary results show these teams are in the top six: University High and Northwood High of Irvine, Valencia High of Placentia, Canyon High of Anaheim Hills and Aliso Niguel High.
Aliso Niguel High School and Woodbridge High of Irvine tied for sixth place with 131 points each. Officials will finalize the top six teams after a week of review.
Canyon High senior Tiana Baghdikian, 17, was relieved when her team placed.
"I'm glad that I'm going out on a good note," she said. "I'm excited. We're going to kick butt at state."
Twenty-three high schools and 15 middle schools participated Friday at the 28th annual Regional Science Olympiad at Golden West College in Huntington Beach and at Santa Ana College. The Olympiad tests student talents in 17 science, math, engineering and technology events.
Evelyn Yeh and Justin Leong represented Troy High School in the robot arm contest. About 20 people stood quietly next to empty desks in the math classroom to watch Yeh and Leong activate a robot arm they built.
To win, a team must direct the robot arm to accurately grab pencils, ping pong balls, nails and PVC pipes, and place them delicately into three open containers. Teams get points for dropping objects into the furthest container. They win 10 bonus points for each object they drop through the mouth of a half-gallon plastic milk jug – no easy feat.
Engineering competitions included an egg drop; elastic band glider, where students demonstrated flight inside the gym; gravity vehicle, in which students calculated a way to stop their vehicle on a marked line after launching it down a ramp; boomilever, a student-built device that attaches to a wall and must hold 15 kg of sand without breaking.
Inside other classrooms, students were tested on their knowledge of genes, human disease, forestry, circuits, thermodynamics, anatomy and physiology and more.
"Our office views Science Olympiad as a perfect gateway into STEM careers because every field is represented here," said Dean Gilbert, science coordinator for the O.C. Department of Education.
Event information is released in January, but many teams begin practicing and studying months earlier.
Yeh, 15, and Leong, 17, spent about 50 hours practicing with the robot arm they built earlier this year.
