Earth at Night NASA
"During the next two weeks, you can help build a map of global light pollution, assisting scientists and astronomers as they monitor the loss of virgin night skies. You just have to look at the stars and write down what you see — or, more likely, what you don't see.
The GLOBE At Night program is encouraging the public to look at certain constellations and compare observations with brightness maps on its site. You can enter your data in a new web app, accessible via tablets and mobile phones. The program, in its sixth year, hopes crowd-sourced night-sky observations will yield the most accurate Earth-at-night maps.
Satellite views like the one above can tell the story only so well; ground-based observations are a better gauge of how light from buildings and other infrastructure illuminates most people's night skies.
By the turn of the millennium, two-thirds of the world no longer saw a virgin night sky, and in some places this may never be reversed. More than half the world's population lives in cities, the most light-polluted of which prevent even the Big Dipper from being seen. Along with robbing us of our natural heritage, light pollution can be detrimental to human health, and it can also harm birds, sea turtles and bats, among many other creatures who are confused by artificial lighting.
The GLOBE At Night project runs through April 6."
This is a picture of our 'modern' world. Overall, we have created many convenient things to help improve our lives: longer lifespan, lower infant mortality rate, increased access to education, etc. Sure, it's not entirely uniform across the globe, but people are living longer, infants are surviving more and people have more access to education than we did a century ago. Yet look at the areas on the map, that many would consider 'developed' nations. Notice how bright they are. Although brightness seems to correlate with how populated an area is, does that really mean life there is really better? Perhaps. Since this is a blog about light pollution, I'd argue no. Light pollution creates more problems than solutions: breast cancer, depression, insomnia, an altered circadian rhythm, wastes an unnecessary amount of electricity and money and finally, loss of wildlife. Light pollution isn't only a human problem, it affects nearly all life on Earth (creatures possessing a circadian rhythm). Read the facts. Get educated. Spread the word.
Let there be night!

Read: What June 17th 2013 Would Be Like If The Season Started On Time
At CBC, Elliotte Friedman looks at the NHL schedule and goes through the important dates, if the season started on time, and projected out how he thinks they would turn out.
June 17: Conn Smythe Trophy winner Henrik Lundqvist makes a huge last-second save on Daniel Sedin to preserve the Rangers' second Stanley Cup victory since 1940.
Madison Square Garden is the scene of the craziest post-game celebration ever. Fans hand beer to players over the glass, Tortorella brings his beloved dogs on-ice to skate with the Cup and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg makes a citizen's arrest when Glen Sather lights a victory cigar in smoke-free Manhattan.
Not a bad double for the business of the sport to have Los Angeles and New York win the Stanley Cup in back-to-back seasons. Good thing the owners and players were able to avoid a lockout.

On a day in which the Big East Conference got even bigger with the addition of Texas Christian University, Providence athletic director Bob Driscoll believes the move can only serve as a boon for the basketball schools.
"I think (the addition of TCU) helps us because it solves some of the football issues," said Drsicoll. "Without it, it probably causes more stress. If Villanova goes in the director of major college football, then I think we'll be in very good shape.
"You can't foresee the future," Driscoll continued, "but I just think in the short run that this will help the basketball schools to the extent that we keep that we keep the basketball conference in the nation together. The football schools value the basketball schools. If it was just a football conference, I'm not sure if it would be as powerful as it is right now."
For more about Driscoll's thoughts about the Big East accepting TCU as league member No. 17, read Tuesday's Times.

So exactly which scent named "Tabacco" was Turin reviewing if not Odori/Profumo di Firenze?

If you check his guide, he seems to review the whole Odori line under the name Profumo di Firenze
Spigo, Cuoio, Zefferano, Tabacco
You know what, you're right. While "I Profumi di Firenze" also has Spigo, Cuoio and Iris they have longer names. And the $$$$ price point suggests Odori. Also, it is Profumo di Firenze in Turin, which it says at the top of the Odori flacons, while "Odori" is etched in at the bottom, below the fragrance name. It is strange he didn't review the flagship scent "Gli Odori" (and comment on the - methinks - hideous bottles.) My apologies for creating confusion where I thought I was clarifying.

I had the his guide quite awhile before I pieced it together. The spelling "Tabacco" with an "a" after the "T" is odd. Then I notice all the other Odoris reviewed by their frag name, but as a "Firenze".
Whattttt??? I love the Odori bottles.

Here you go - its a Cavendish Black cologne - just like your bf carries. Its from an artisan soapmaker who makes great shaving soaps.
Check out Varvatos Vintage. It smell kind like unsmoked tobacco and rawhide leather on the skin. It isn't as masculine on paper.
I imagine Clint Eastwood wearing this. It's a proud member of my wardrobe.
I seem to call "Aramis - Havana" and "Polo Green" as having distinct pipe tobacco scents, though forgive me if I'm wrong.

Chanel Antaeus Equipped With A Double Whipping Of A Black Leather Jacket
I wore Polo for years and sure don't remember that OR if there was such a note it wasn't in the vein that OP is seeking
Of all the obvious notes:
Pipe Tobacco
dried fruit
The reason i ask is that i have all the samples coming my way, and feel I can do everyone on the board a great service if we use TFTV as a baseline for what to compare them to.
I have already tested or own:
Tom Ford Tobacco vanille
Bogart Pour Homme
Micheal Kors for men
Very Valentino
Versace Dreamer, Versace man
Burberry London
Armani Attitude
Serge Lutens Chergui
Serge Lutens Fumerie Turque
Aramis havana
Maitre Eau Des Iles
The samples I have coming are:
Odori Tabacco
Guerlain Spirituese Double vanille
Alt innsbruck
TGQ Black Cavendish extrait
Sonoma Scent studio Tabac Aurea
Demeter Pipe Tobacco
Demeter Whiskey Tobacco
Demeter This is Not a Pipe
Ava Luxe Sweet Tobacco
CB I Hate Perfume Pipe Tobacco Premium Accord
CB I hate Perfume Smokey Tobacco premium accord
So I'm sure out of those we may find a suitable, less expensive scent that may even be more to your liking than Tobacco Vanille, just be as descriptive as possible about what would ideally lessen or strengthen in TObacco Vanille besides the price

PinkFizzy, have you found your fix yet?
Some very nice suggestions gentlemen .
I have had the pleasure of trying round half of these mentioned .
Another one we can add to this list is :
" GRAN VALOR " by Maurer & Wirtz
Here's a link with some fresh discussions on it
SALES JANUARY 2013 ..http://community.basenotes.net/showthread.php?t=232133
*** SPECIAL - LUI ROCHAS , 3.3oz Sealed ***
FLACON .. Updating Soon flacon.ambaric.net/viewtopic.php?t=43
How would you say it compares to the other M&W Tabacs?
And what scent in this thread would you say it is closest to?
"When he shook hands with me my nostrils were assailed by all the perfumes of Arabia."
- W. Somerset Maugham
I've been on quite a tobacco streak lately. Here are a few that I enjoy wearing:
Aramis Havana
Creed Tabarome
Trussardi Inside Man
Cuba Red
Current Wardrobe (in no particular odor, HAHA!):
Creed Green Irish Tweed, Creed Silver Mountain Water, Creed Himalaya, Creed Tabarome, Aramis Havana, Bond No.9 Central Park, Trussardi Inside, Fahrenheit Absolute, Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit De L'Homme, Guerlain L'Instant Homme, David Beckham Signature, Cartier Declaration Essence, Azzaro Visit, Azzaro Silver-Black, Azzaro Pure Vetiver, Dunhill X-Centric, Perry Ellis Reserve, Armani Attitude, Armani Mania, Bvlgari Aqva, Jacomo Paradox Green, Canali Summer Night, Kouros Cologne Sport, Realm Men, Lolita Lempicka Au Masculine, St. Patrick, Cuba (Red, Green, Gold, Black, Grey, Brown, Maya), Opium Pour Homme EDP, Banana Republic Cordovan, Amouage Epic Man, J. Peterman 1902, Bogart City Tower.
The original Monsieur Rochas (not the pink stuff) was formulated to smell like pipe tobacco. It's really good. I know you can buy decants of it from TPC, but it is not available in it's original formula anywhere easily as far as I know.
I am going to make a bizarre thread bump here and recommend Vivienne Westwood's Boudoir for a tobacco accord.
There is a strong tobacco/tobacco leaf accord here once you get past the sweet, girly topnotes. DO NOT look at the bottle and pink juice inside... LOL! This is a vanilla/tobacco scent.
I think the review here is interesting...
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
Bogart Pour Homme
Equipage/Hermes = cold pipe.
Sorry if it's been mentioned, there was alot to read through.
Snarky is as snarky does.
your search is one after my own heart and I'm horribly interested in the outcome, after some searching I settled with Fumerie Turque, maybe I should have tried harder . Of the ones on your sample list I've tried the Odori....meh, the Spiriteuse, is a personal failure on me though lovely on others, and while the Tabac Aurea is gorgeous I find it too feminine for my tastes. Some one has mentioned Gran Valor, it certainly can't be called feminine but it is meant to be out of production, either way it's at the bottom end of the scale.
Hope you post when you decide.

Now that the summer months are upon us, it's important to get outside and find activities for the whole family.
Buffalo Spree chose the perfect example in this month's issue by highlighting the Batavia Muckdogs. After all, baseball is America's sport.
Meet the Muckdogs Manager, Dann Bilardello- a Florida native. We asked him what mindset his players have when they arrived in Batavia for this season.
"For some it's the first time out of the state, some of them maybe went to college out of state, or some near their hometown," said Bilardello. "So I kind of feel like I've got myself. Roger is my hitting coach, Dernier is my pitching coach, that we're like surrogate parents for these kids, and that's the way I feel."
"Though I'm teaching them about baseball stuff, I want to teach them life lessons because I think it's more important. There's more out there than baseball. I love baseball, I've been involved in it for over 30 years as a player and coach, I absolutely love it, but these kids might not be in baseball for 30 years and I've had a lot of experience in life, so maybe I can teach them something in those ways too."
Dann has played ball all over the country but has a soft spot in his heart for Buffalo. He was once on the roster of the Bisons. Some of his players this season, are experiencing pro ball for the first time. Anthony Melchionda is one of them, we asked him exactly who should come out to catch a game...
"I think anyone would enjoy us playing," says Melchionda. "It's a group of young guys who are just starting their pro careers, it'll be competitive baseball all the way through. it'll be great for the kids, great for families, it'll be a lot of fun.
Meet Anthonys teammate Garrett Wittels - a short stop, who has a bit more experience than some of his fellow players...
"I've kind of been all over with some other organizational teams over the past couple weeks," says Wittels. "I'm kind of viewed as a veteran, I see myself as a vocal guy, kind of a captain or a leader. So like I said I'm just trying to go out there and teach the young guys how to play the game, and just enjoy it. Hopefully we win a lot of games."
Matthew Young is an out-fielder for the Muckdogs- a California native, who was happy to be called out to Batavia New York. We asked him how Pro Ball compares to college ball.
The competition is a lot higher," says Young. "I even notice during practice, during inner-squads, during the expedition rounds we had on friday night, everybody's the best of the best. Nobody's a scrub, everyone's making plays, everyone's doing their job. It's a high level of competition so you've got to step up."
We asked him what his family and friends think of his new career...
"Where I come from nobody really pays attention to baseball. Their still wondering why I'm not in St. Louis. When they ask me what a Muckdog is I tell them I don't know, I guess it's a dog, in some muck. Just by looking at the hat. It's new for everybody where I'm from."

Free Food to Fight Waste
28 Mar 14
On April 1, the global campaign against food waste, Feeding the 5000, is heading to Brussels to serve up a free lunch made entirely from fresh fruit and vegetables - including misshapen potatoes, wonky carrots and oversized aubergines - that would otherwise have gone to waste due their physical appearance (failing to meet strict retail specifications). In the lead up to the event, volunteers have been harvesting hundreds of kilos of "unwanted" produce from farms around Brussels.
Bringing together an alliance of organizations working on the issue of food waste - including Slow Food and Slow Food Youth Network Brussels - the event aims to raise awareness of the dramatic amount of food waste that occurs every day around the world and urge the European institutions to take action. The plan is to prepare lunch for 5000 people. The menu will include a delicious curry, along with a salad made by our friends from the Disco Soupe group. The salad will be prepared by volunteers and members of the public: peeling and chopping the huge volume of surplus fruit and vegetables, accompanied (in true Disco Soupe style) by live music, DJs and dancing!
According to the UN, roughly one third of the food produced in the world for human consumption every year — approximately 1.3 billion tons — is lost or wasted. Meanwhile over 840 million people worldwide (12% of the world population) are undernourished. Given these facts, EU Food Sense (the European Parliament's Cross-Party Sustainable Food Steering Group) and Feeding the 5000 are organizing a conference in the EU Parliament the following day. The aim of the conference - The Commission's Imminent Food Policy: Sustainability or Standing Still? - is to engage EU politicians on this issue and provide an opportunity to identify specific solutions that could be implemented, both at the EU level and in the EU member states. The event will be opened with a speech and Q&A from the UN's Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Olivier De Schutter, followed by food waste campaigner Tristram Stuart and a panel of expert speakers, including European Commission representatives.
Alongside the lunch on April 1, the Slow Food network is also organizing a number of different educational activities, as well as a live cooking demonstration on the topic of food waste with Terra Madre chef Philippe Renoux from the restaurant Orphyse Chaussette. So if you are in town, why not drop by?

CAMDEN, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Camden's Windjammer Festival was in full sail this weekend celebrating historic ships and canine devotion.
Thousands of people are drawn to Maine's midcoast to tour classic ships, visit shops and galleries and enter in events and competitions.
A new tradition in recent years is a fundraiser called the Windjammer Sea Dogs Show.
Festival-goers enter their canines in competitions like an obstacle course and beauty categories, like longest and shortest tails.
"You get a chance to see what your dog can do," explains organizer Jean Freedman-White, "And its a big fund raiser."

Final Score: 30-9 Jets Lay an Egg at Home
That was disgusting. Glass half-full, glass half empty it's hard to imagine that this season will, on the whole, turn around for the Jets. That was the team that bumbled ass-backwards into a win against the Dolphins, and who gave up against the Niners. After a three week hiatus, that team was back.
Going into the bye, the Jets had a chance to square their record against a surging divisional opponent and came out totally flat against a riival they were talking about all week. The bill on the Jets brashness is finally coming due.
Now at 3-5, there are far more questions than there are answers. Questions about the starting QB, questions about the team's lack of leadership, questions about the defense's inability to stop even a backup quarterback of a divisional opponent.
Most of all the questions will be about the quarterback, the backup, and why the team traded for a player last spring who they're clearly afraid of.
Oh and there's two weeks to ask all those questions.
Mark Sanchez had another unimpressive day, going 28 of 54 for 283 yards with a touchdown and interception and a fumble. Sanchez is not doing much to ensure his long term viability as a starter in New York. Even so the Jets stubborn unwillingness to use Tim Tebow is now the elephant in the room. Tannenbaum and Ryan might have hoisted themselves on their own petard.
The Dolphins had 239 yards of total offense and won 30-9… wrap your head around that.
Shonn Greene ran for a 5.1 YPC average but wasn't able to make the impact on the Dolphins stout run defense
The self-inflicted wounds were again the story. The Jets could not get out of their own way all game and the Jets coaches did nothing to flip the script.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.com
The Jets are now 3–5 and headed into the bye and a week layoff. In two weeks time, the division has essentially slipped out of their hands and looking at the remaining schedule they'll be lucky to win enough games to put them at .500.
The next two weeks are going to be *very* hot in New York for Mark Sanchez, Rex Ryan and Mike Tannenbaum specifically. Mark Sanchez is dangling by a thread, seemingly unable to focus his game or elevate that of others.
After that game, I seriously wonder about Tannenbaum's tenure after the season, and while I thought Rex was immune, that game gave me serious pause.
A coach trying to get the attention of his team would tell them to cancel their vacation plans this week, I fully expect Rex tomorrow to not do that but also give his players some extra time off to as we've heard so many times before, 'focus for the second half.'

Comments about Gotoh Locking Tuners Left Hand - 6 Pack:
The improved look, sound and tuning stability make me love my project guitar the guitar i never put down.
There isnt much for tuning keys to have feature wise, but the locking feature is very easy to use and works well.
These are obviously very well might, tightly gearded solid feeling tuners. they give you guitar an expensive look and actually improved the sound of my guitar. I had no idea there would be an improvement on the sound, i just wanted to stay in tune. Seriously though my guitar is obviously louder and brighter and cleaner sounding.
80 bucks is a lot for tuning keys.. i havent tried any of the knock offs out there, but there a similar styled tuners out there for half the cost. That said you get a sure thing when you buy these, which was worth it to me
Comments about Gotoh Locking Tuners Left Hand - 6 Pack:
I bought these Gotohs when I started designing my custom Strat style guitar, I wanted something that goes with the rest of the hardware, Black. I've tried several different types of locking tuners, but all of them failed to keep my tune and pitch. When I installed these on, I was blown away by how simple it was, seriously just right out of the package, then when I locked them in, its been about 3 weeks since I tuned, and its still in perfect tuning. Highly recomnended.

Buzz: Scott Howson Reportedly Isn't Demanding Derek Stepan, Chris Kreider or Ryan McDonagh
Speaking of trade speculation … been told repeatedly #CBJ GM Scott Howson has NOT demanded Kreider, McDonagh or Stepan in talks w #NYR.
— Aaron Portzline (@Aportzline) July 3, 2012
He adds, "Told there are lots of ways #NYR could get this done w/o Kreider, Stepan or McDonagh. As noted, McDonagh does not make sense as centerpiece."
It has been reported multiple teams by Larry Brooks that Columbus is asking for at least two of the three players.
Darren Dreger tweets at Portzline and says, "CBJ should let the NYR know that. Multiple scenarios have been pitched by NY and turned away."
At the trade deadline, it was reported that the Rangers offer was Brandon Dubinsky, Tim Erixon, JT Miller, Christian Thomas and a first round pick.
It was reported at that time that Columbus was after a package that included Ryan McDonagh or Michael Del Zotto, Derek Stepan or Carl Hagelin, Chris Kreider and Brandon Dubinsky.
Adam Rotter: This is gamesmanship and two sides trying to tell two different stories. The Rangers end of things is saying that Columbus is being unreasonable and won't get off their demand for Kreider, McDonagh, Stepan. The Columbus side is basically saying, we are willing to make a trade, it's the Rangers who are unwilling. Both sides are trying to blame the other and it's probably a little bit of both.

After reading nearly every thread on wind shirts over the last year, and not really ever intending to get one, I picked up a Salomon Clima Wind at the local REI today. It was marked down and with the 20% discount I couldn't resist once I felt how light it was (scale says 2.5 oz). At any rate, now that I have one, I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. I've got a Super Mica, a Patagonia Nano Puff, and a standard 4 oz light hiking shirt (all of which I got on sale too over the last 2-3 years). I've been taking a cheapo 30% polyester/70% cotton thermal shirt to wear at night forever, but am now thinking of ditching it since it weighs 6 oz. Any thoughts out there? Would the new wind shirt also work as something to sleep in? Would it be too hot? Should I ditch any of the other layers? Most of my trips are in the Sierra. Thanks.
In my experience a windshirt is best used as part of a layering system to manage the conditions. Often times a wind shirt has difficulty working at its best unless it has a thin poly-pro or similar shirt underneath it to wick the sweat off you. I doubt ditching the use of a long-sleeve completely is a solid solution, but would recommend ditching your cheap cotton which isn't an efficient use of weight. I would recommend going to walmart and getting a $9.00 starter dri star shirt. I've stopped purchasing patagonias base-layers I like them so much. Combine a wally world long sleeve and a wind shirt and you've got a winning combo. OR use a long-sleeve of your choosing. FWIW
Edited by Marty_Mcfly on 04/01/2013 18:04:27 MDT.
If you have read every thread on wind shirts then you should have a pretty good idea of how other people use it. My use of a windshirt1] Drastically reduce heat loss from wind and allow me to keep warm when moving2] Protection from biting insects and therefore may very well be worn to bed over my baselayer.Your patagonia nano puff is already wind proof so what I did was replace my Nano Puff with the R2 jacket and so I have a much more versatile system with an insulation layer that can breath very well when I want or I can add wind protection when it's breathing too well.
Here's how I use my windshirt:This past weekend, I went for a long dayhike in the Columbia Gorge. When I started around 8:45ish, it was very cool. I had a short sleeve synthetic t-shirt, a wool Indie Hoody and a Rab Cirrus Windshirt (similar to a Houdini). In the bottom of my pack was a full-on rain shell (not ever used but I was going on a hike I hadn't done before and had thought about that recent lost hiker on Mt Hood). The Gorge is a lot of ups and downs, so within 10 minutes, I shed the windshirt, slinging the pack around on one shoulder and stashing it in the outer mesh pocket of my pack. The trail started up into a steep side canyon. I took off the wool midlayer and never needed it again. For the next hour +, it was only the windshirt that got used, in shade or when stopping along the creek or if there was enough wind to chill me, then off quickly when the trail got steeper and I got hotter. I never felt I needed long-sleeves under it. If light rain had come, I would have put on the breathable windshirt first, hoping that the light rain would pass.If heavy rain had come, I would have put on the rain shell only (at first) and (hopefully) moved more slowly to not overheat. I would have added the midlayer if it got cold.If cold dry weather moved in, I would have put on the midlayer, the windshirt and a hat.If I had been camping, I would have put on the windshirt when I got to camp (if I was starting to chill). I would have eventually added the midlayer (under the windshirt) and an insulation layer (like your Nano Puff) over the windshirt (or finally putting the windshirt away). I wouldn't sleep in it unless it was an emergency and I needed to put on all the clothing I had with me. In drier CA, you could probably do with only one baselayer/midlayer (a L/S wool or synthetic) and the Salomon windshirt for hiking. Carry the Nano Puff (for camp) and the Mica (for rain) in your pack. Some CA folks might suggest only the Mica as both wind and rain shell. I'm sold on both here in the PNW.Hope this wasn't confusing (there's a kid who is working overtime on distracting me!)
Not confusing at all--great actually. It crossed my mind to just return it but I started to think along the lines of your post and the variety of uses I could put it to. As you indicate, it'd be great for cool morning hikes or when it's damp out. I'm even thinking of ditching the shell on weekend trips if the weather calls for it.
anytime it is even relatively cool out i sleep in my windshirt. i believe it really does a wonderful job of protecting the down in my sleeping bag from condensation from my body. it also keeps it cleaner. it also makes it easier to get out of the hammock in the am since i have on a little bit of warmth.
@Randy, love your explanation: "I have a much more versatile system with an insulation layer that can breath very well when I want or I can add wind protection when it's breathing too well."That is the most common use of a wind shirt for most people, but there are other reasons to carry a wind shirt.
Edited by brooklynkayak on 04/03/2013 06:19:57 MDT.
I carry a short cape for rain, but use only the windshirt as my outer shell in most rain and snow.If it is cold and raining hard, I will wear the windshirt under the cape. I find it helps keep me dryer underneath. Perspiration can condense on the inside of any rain shell. The windshirt helps block and redirect this dampness to the ground.
Hi Christopher,I'm a recent convert to windshirts myself. I used to only carry a DriDucks for rain/wind, until talking to a few SUL backpackers who I really trust for gear advice. I now have a Houdini and it's an amazingly versatile piece of clothing that fits perfectly with the other layers in my system. I went with the Houdini over the Montbell Anorak because of the convenience of the zipper, which made sense to me since I am constantly taking this jacket off and putting it on. It protects from wind, light rain, and depending on your baselayer, sun and skeeters. Also, it's a great jacket for trail runs.In fact, I've also switched to Montbell Dynamo wind pants as my primary lower baselayer. My mediums weigh under 3 ounces, and have replaced my convertible pants. I used to be a die-hard shorts guy, but that's how much these wind layers have impressed me.
Hike in Scotland, and you'll know what a windshirt is for! :-)A typical hike might involve 15 miles, with 3-4000 feet of ascent Mostly off trail. On the uphills, you can get soaked in sweat. As we 'enjoy' an Atlantic weather system, a cold wind often blows, so you can be warm and cold every 2 minutes unless you block the wind.If i only strolled along level trails in warm weather without breaking a sweat, i would probably leave the windshirt at home.
Josh: so, Houdini as a vapor barrier? Neat. Have you used it this way in winter?
So if you are hiking in the wind and don't have a windshirt, you can just throw on a little more insulation. The wind will blow right through it, but it will still give you that tiny bit of warmth. Then you turn around a bend in the trail and suddenly there is no wind. You end up overheating. It's even worse when the wind is really gusty and infrequent. You constantly go from being cold to hot.Windshirts are just more comfortable.I sleep in my windshirt all the time.
Edited by justin_baker on 04/03/2013 15:57:01 MDT.
Regarding wearing a winshirt as a vapor barrier in the winter:A vapor barrier should NOT be breathable. So a windshirt or even breathable rain jacket is not a good choice.A vapor barrier works by blocking moisture from getting to your puffy layers. A breathable membrane, especially a proper windshirt, will let moisture through.
Steven: D'Oh! of course! Although I remember someone on a thread who wore their wpb shell at night in winter as a vapor barrier.So now I'm curious as to why you'd wear a windshirt to bed.
Edited by book on 04/03/2013 19:37:33 MDT.
Yeah, a windshirt is not going to act as a vapor barrier unless it is a windshirt that doesn't breathe, which would make it a terrible windshirt. When I wear my windshirt while sleeping, I experience no condensation. I am completely dry. Where did all that moisture go? It went into my bag.
The other 'wonderful' feature of the UK climate is that an awful lot of the time when there's wind there's a sort of light drizzle about. Or very brief, stronger showers either happening or threatened.Windshirts are rather nice for that sort of thing.
I agree, a windshirt is more comfortable than a rain shell in a drizzle.I also find it more comfortable in most snow, unless it is really cold out.I can walk all day wearing a windshirt in heavy snow if the temps aren't much below freezing.I can't say that would be the case with all windshirts. Mine may not breath as much as some windshirts do.
Oh, I'm good in a merino t-shirt, Ibex 1/4 zip Zephyr, and Houdini inn temps down to about 0F as long as I'm moving; have to keep an eye on the ventialtion to avoid sweating everything out and make sure the head's warm and dry when the wind picks up, but that's OK. I just slip on a nano-puff oer the windhsirt at lunchtime.I LOVE the Houdini- my only issue is that i wish the hood didnt' hang out over my face quite so much. A hat with a brim takes care of that, though.
Most hoods on windshits seem loose, awkward and annoying unless there is a hat on underneath.The combination of hat under a windshirt is perfect. The sides of the hood help protect the face from windburn and side spray as long as it is kept reasonably taut by the hat.

Top publishers, mobile and social media experts discuss how to reach multicultural audiences
On Thursday, February 21, 2013, the IAB in partnership with Social Media Week New York held "Mobilecultural: How to Reach the Emerging Mobile, Social and Multicultural User", a discussion about how brands, marketers and publishers can reach multicultural audiences on social and mobile platforms. The IAB AdLab was packed with more than 100 attendees from agencies, publishers, and brand marketers. Panelists included representatives from all sides of the digital ecosystem, who were able to give a broad perspective how mobile and social media are converging for African American, Hispanic, and other multicultural audiences.
However, it's not enough to just tell people where the industry is going, it's better to show them. Monica Bannan, VP of Mobile Media at Nielsen dexterously set the stage with Nielsen's newly released data that featured the latest trends and data on social and mobile media usage within the last year. Monica opened the presentation with data on how digital is becoming increasing mobile with 36 hours spent online vs. 34 hours spent on mobile devices. This data is in line with the mobile research done by the IAB Mobile Center such as Mobile's Role in a Consumer's Media Day. Monica's presentation also revealed how multicultural users are over-indexing on smartphone adoption with 74% by Asians and 68% by African American and Hispanic users. Such numbers reinforce not only the increasing growth of mobile but that multicultural usage of the mobile platform is growing at encouraging rates.
Cheryl Contee, Co-Founder of Fission Strategy, Attentive.ly, and the popular blog Jack & Jill Politics greatly directed and moderated the panel discussion with thought leaders:
- Diana Valencia, SVP of Multicultural Communications, Porter Novelli
- Manny Miravete, U.S. Hispanic Industry Manager, Google
- Lateef Sarnor, Head of Multicultural Marketing and Strategy, AOL
- Marcus Ellington, Director of Ad Sales, Interactive One
- Adrian Carrasquillo, Producer and Social Media Manager, NBC News Latino
The conversation was exciting and dynamic, but if I had to pull out just three main takeaways from it they would be the following:
Marketers and brands must move toward mobile and social to engage users, particularly within multicultural audiences.
Lateef Sarnor was able to hone in on what most of the thought leaders are seeing at their companies which is that "social is part of the DNA" and with the high adoption of mobile devices by multicultural users "those realities have informed mobile strategy and everything is becoming mobile first."
Marketers, advertisers and brands creating engaging multicultural content should avoid the pitfalls of a one-size-fits-all formula.
As Adrian Carrasquillo said, "multicultural consumers don't want a second rate experience just because it's niche. You have to elevate the conversation." Diana Valencia noted that when creating content for multicultural users "it's important to play into cultural cues whether it's with content, style or humor you have to differentiate that. This will enhance affinity and empathy of the consumer."
So, what is the future for publishers, marketers and brands reaching mobilecultural users? Manny Miravete didn't have his Google glasses on hand to tell us the future but did state that "what is now local engagement will become macro." It will be increasingly important for all businesses to sync their local and national efforts for both social and mobile campaigns. A second important trend for the mobile industry is as Marcus Ellington concretely states that "in the future more businesses will invest future budget in multicultural, mobile and social because they will see it works."
Behind every mouse click or swipe is an actual human.
Cheryl Contee brought it all home with a statement that many advertisers, brands and marketers can agree with which is that "it's important to remember you have the technology but be smart with how you're applying that technology to actual human beings." The IAB Mobile Marketing Center strongly supports that idea and will continue to facilitate these and other conversations to continue to move the industry in a direction of growth and understanding of technology and the human beings behind them.

Hello. I recently purchased a bomb proof 5 lb Arcteryx pack. After doing more research on these forums, I'm considering swapping it for something much lighter (I haven't used it). Seems like the Gossamer Gear Gorilla/Mariposa or the Granite Gear Crown VC are good choices, but I'm worried about durability. My backpacking trips are simple 2 to 3 day trips. I'm a lightweight packer and could definitely get my total weight down within the recommended carrying range of the Mariposa or Crown VC (under 30 lbs). But I'm planning an extended vacation through Southeast Asia towards the end of the year. I still think I can easily work with 30 lbs, but I'm worried about durability between planes, trains, autos, etc. Has anyone taken one of the ultralight packs on a multi-country tour? Or would I be better off having a separate lighter back from my local trips and something more durable for international travel?
I travel between two and four months out of the year, and I consider myself a UL traveler. I avoid UL backpacking-style backpacks for two main reasons:1. The "pack everything into one large hole" works great for my backpacking trips, but poorly for travel trips. o when backpacking, I pack just what I need, so at camp, it's a matter of emptying everything outo but when traveling, I don't need to unpack everything every night -- so 'one big hole' works poorly for me2. UL packs are too flimsy for international travels -- picture strap-tearing baggage claim carousels and workers rudely tossing packs up or down bus roof racks.As an alternative, I would highly recommend that you buy a day pack instead -- and switch to packing both 'light and compact'. Being much smaller in size, a typical campus book bag can be kept light while still using heavier pack cloth and providing multiple compartments and pockets for easier packing and organizing.Eagle Creek day packs are very well built, but expensive. For much cheaper but still solid choices -- look at Jansport. Then there are Ebags.com and EMS.com store brands as well.My own pack is a 28L day pack. The longest I've traveled using a similar size pack is on my 7-month, round the world trip back in 2009. Think how free and easy your trip will be -- when all you carry is a day pack -- just 'grab and go'.EDIT: Forgot to add... my pack weight - including the weight of my backpack which is typically 1.5lbs -- is around 12 lbs. -- and that includes a 10-in. Android tablet.
Edited by ben2world on 02/08/2013 17:11:42 MST.
I have taken my Six Moon designs Swift on a couple of multiple country tours, it fits as hand luggage and then I check a light sports bag with stuff that needs to go in the hold.
I just did a couple-months in Ecuador combining multi-day treks and more touristy-traveling. I used a combo of the HMG Expedition and a packable day pack. I chose the expedition because of the large volume, waterproof material, and toughness. Worked out very well.
Sean,Ben has the right idea and makes good points. Going UL while traveling is asking for a disaster- flimsy straps that catch on everything, sensitive fabrics that tear more easily, buckles with sensitive teeth...UL belongs on trail where you carry the pack all day and set it down gently at night to lay your head on. I normally travel with just my pack unless it is more than a four night trip. That being said, I own 5 packs and use each for very specific situations. For travel I use my Osprey Kestrel 48. Why? see below..-read BOMBER: this pack has seen the bottom of canyons (the fast way from 30ft up lol), full on white-out conditions in the Tetons, the business end of razor sharp texas limestone that should have opened her up like a can of beans, and yes- many airports -stiff frame; holds its shape just enough without being rigid and fits head first (shoulder straps down) into any standard overhead bin (yes even when it is over-filled-main compartment has a zipper at the base: I normally keep my sleeping bag at the bottom (loose and not compressed but packed down tight. My spare change of clothes go at the top so I can have them readily accesible without having to pull out half my belongings. Easy access and who wants to repack everything after you took so much care to make it fit? -mesh pocket under the hood: this one is great. I never have to take out my liquids, I just store them in the mesh zipper and leave the hood open (laid shoulder straps down) so it unfolds and is visible as it goes through the security check. -two zippered pockets at the top and one on each hip: many storage options and my magazine stores perfectly in the stretch pocket on the outside-volume: perfect volume for 4 nights if planned out well-compresses everywhere:yep.. straps flapping around so the conveyer belt can eat it alive? nopehope this helps you. weighs roughly 3 1/2 lbs- gulp
Sean,I agree with everything Ben said. I think two packs are a better option with a UL for backpacking and something more sturdy, but not obnoxiously big or heavey for international travel. A good size daybag could do the trick.I traveled independently around the world for 18 months in 2005-06. Of course, this was before I knew anything about UL backpacking, but I was attempting to carry as little as possible. My trip included urban and wilderness areas and everything in between with travel by planes, trains, automobiles, buses, boats, barges, camels, horses, etc. I used an Eagle Creak Intercontinental Journey Pack for the first 12 months. This was a popular travel pack at the time and combined backpack and suitcase funtions. Travel packs are not so much in vogue any more and for good reason. Although it had great travel and security functions and features, like clam shell loading, zippers, secret compartments inside, all openings lockable and a security wire running through it so you can lock it to anything, for anytime it was out of your site, like in a hostel. However, the harness system was really bad and carried poorly, especially with much weight. There were times, in between mailing things home, that the weight was upwards of 40 lbs and nearly broke my back.My itiniary had substantial backpacking built in to the last part, so I knew when I got to New Zealand that I was going to buy an actual backpack, which I did and then used that for the final 6 months. Although not UL, it was much better due to the better harness system and ability to carry well even with more weight.Now if I were to make a similar journey, I would start by analyzing the trip to see how much is urban, how much in developed versus lesser developed countries, how much wilderness areas, etc and whether I was backpacking and how long or just day hiking. For urban or travel in lesser developed countries, I would choose a pack that was made out of sturdier materials than cuben fiber or the other popular UL fabrics. Again, like Ben said, a good 25-30 L regular pack would serve you well. For international travel, you really do need good security features for when your pack is out of your site. Imagine your pack strapped to the roof of a jalopy bus bumping along the back roads of whereever. You can absolutely count on prying hands searching through your bag for anything valuable or attractive for the taking. In that scenario it is really great to be able to lock every opening of your bag, but this feature really only exists in the clunky, uncomfortable travel bags. However, if you have a larger day bag that you can have with you inside of the bus, you avoid being separated from your bag. You should still carry a lock and perhaps a cable to lock your bag in your lodging, etc.If however a significant part of your journey was rugged backpacking for multi-day stints of long duration, you may consider an UL pack set-up or just have UL gear in a regular pack.FYI - some invaluable references I used for trip planning, cheap air tickets, etc. Check out the web site and the books by Edward Hasbrouk, The Practical Nomad and Airtreks.com, which is a travel agency in san Francisco that specializes in independent, global travel. Edward did work with them, then took a sabatical to update his books. He may or may not be back with Airtreks now. Either way, look into both of them before you get tickets anywhere else.Hope this helps.Susan
A big issue IMO is whether the nature of your trip allows you to pack along some things that you leave somewhere in-country while you're roaming that country --- or not. Whether that be with someone you know, or some sort of business or whatever, if you can pack your ultralight pack and some spare clothes and so forth into a duffel that stays in one place while you're there, that makes a big difference.If not, then it boils down to just how much stuff you need in-country --- i.e., whether you can bring everything you need as carry-on baggage. I did that just fine for a few weeks in China, but wasn't trying to sleep outdoors or backpack there in general. In Europe I went with the heavy "convertible travel pack" approach as I just had to check baggage and didn't have local contacts in both the areas I was hiking in.If taking just one flight and little or no local transport, a cheap (disposable) duffel is an option.You might also consider whether a really lightweight duffel combined with a lightweight pack is in total lighter than one of the hefty convertible packs. Something like this:http://www.amazon.com/Osprey-Airporter-LZ-Pack-Cover/dp/B008SAHTUI/ref=pd_sbs_sg_1In that scenario, you carry your protective pack duffel along with you!
I'm just back from overseas having taken the REI Flash 62 (3 lbs) and the "Pack Duffel" (19 oz):http://www.rei.com/product/787296/rei-pack-duffel-bagThis setup was fantastic. I think Osprey had a lighter backpack collapsible duffel, but on our trip, I ended up checking the backpack on no fewer than a dozen different airline flights. The Osprey cover was much thinner, and I'm not sure it would have survived. The REI Pack Duffel weighs more but it's a very heavy fabric. It's also lockable with a single lock - doesn't keep out anyone with a knife but it stops the casual thief. Once we got out of the airport/taxi, it was very fast to take the backpack out of the Pack Duffel, collapse it back down, and get on our way.In case you're wondering what happens to your bag when you check it, watch this Delta video where they checked a camera-equipped case:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocbxS5aWUSoPay attention to all those conveyors and stuff at the beginning - the automated sorting machines are incredibly abusive on fabrics. You really don't want to skimp on the protection of your bag while it's going through those systems. You can see how one dangling backpack strap could easily get caught and torn right off. A thicker, heavier backpack might not tear as easily itself but it would still have tons of straps and buckles hanging off waiting to get caught on something.
Not sure if its durable enough for your trip, but for the price ($30) you can't beat the Campmor Essential Carry On bag. It is manufactured by Outdoor Products and is now sold under the Campmor name. Lots of stuff about it on the internet. Kind of has a cult following with the one pack travelers. I picked up one recently because its cheap and light, but have't used it yet. The removable backpack straps are nice too.
Hi all,Thanks for the thoughtful replies. I'm still considering the benefits of a lightweight back vs. the durability and accessibility of the heavier ones. I do like the suggestion of using a duffel. In fact, I already own the indestructible 19 oz (gasp) REI one. This could be a good solution for transporting an ultralight pack, albeit at a significant weight penalty (though I would probably use the duffel even with a more durable pack).Overall, I feel like 50 liters in the baseline of what I feel comfortable with at my experience level in terms of either backpacking or international travel. I find myself wondering whether a 3.5 lb pack is really so much different to me than a 1.5 lb (or less) ultralight pack (I realize this is a personal preference). The heavier pack would afford me the ability to carry a heavier load, which is both a positive and negative.
... what is the largest bag that you can typically carry on to a plane? I would think 60 liters is too big but my friend swears that he's taken his 75L Dueter on planes several times.
"... what is the largest bag that you can typically carry on to a plane? I would think 60 liters is too big but my friend swears that he's taken his 75L Dueter on planes several times."Generally, it's the Rule of 45 -- meaning the sum of the pack's length, width and depth should not exceed 45 inches. The wheelies that you see people rolling onto the airplanes are frequently 22 x 14 x 9 ( which add to 45). Of course, no one will bat an eye if you exceed by an inch or two -- but a max. configured pack that's bulging at the seams may be redirected to the cargo hold.Translated to volume, the max. is "generally" 40 L. Or 50/60L if it's not fully packed -- but strapped down nicely.Hauling in a 75L -- don't count on it. Airlines are more aggressive at redirecting large packs to the cargo hold -- so they can charge more fees.
Addendum...In addition to size limit, some airlines also impose weight limit. Check with your airline to be sure. I recall a few years back when British Airways had a measly 13 lbs. limit for carry-on!
Reemeber that U.S. domestic baggage rules are different than international. if you're traveling abroad on different airlines, you'll have to check those standards.
+1 watch out for carry on baggage limits on international airlines.The size and weight limits are not only more restrictive than the domestic US carriers, but they actually enforce their rules. It's pretty routine for gate agents to weigh and measure baggage that looks like it exceeds the limits.
I think an UL pack would work fine, as long as you're careful before loading it on buses, trains, airplanes, etc. Personally I think the best bet for international travel (especially to Latin America/Africa) is to pick up a second hand pack that looks retro and worn in. Attracts less attention, and, if you can find a an old Dana Designs pack, carries extremely well.
I tend to agree with Daniel. I've traveled internationally with my backpacks and I think that a pack that can deal with the rigours of the backcountry should be able to deal with being handled by luggage handlers. I would also say: the simpler the pack, the better. Less pockets, daisy chains, webbing, compression straps to catch on other people's luggage.I have always found it a bit more difficult to pack for a trip where I will be going for small (2 - 3 day) trips into the backcountry and combining that with urban travel. In that situation, I have taken a duffel bag as well.

this is a funny one. just arp and latch tempo at 40 and pretend your waiting in line to get in! XP
This one is similar to Octave Explorer, but it is slowed down even more in the low octaves to get some neat sounds!
Arp & latch a note and set tempo at around 190. adjust the tempo along with the lfo 2 depth to get some realistic chopper sound effects. you can also adjust the filter if needed but you shouldn't need to much. I recommend headphones to get the best effect. See if you can land it!!!! lol
Stop running. Its already too late.
Try all the octaves, each one sounds different!
heres a fat tweak my friend did with the Vocal Yeeeeaaahhh preset. it reminds me of massive or r8
Sounds like a heartbeat with arp & latch tempo at 40 with 2 octaves playing. hit quickly and release a note to play a sweet bass drop, and hold the note for a quick thump.
Step 1: Arp & Latch, and play 2 octaves. arp should be on UpDn2 & set the tempo at 40. bust out the smoke n lasers.
Step 2: ???????
Step 3: Profit.
