I was in Toronto this past weekend to see Revealing the Early Renaissance at the AGO.* If you have been around here for a while you'll know that there's nothing I like better than a good hotel - "good" in this context meaning either very old or very new - but I must admit that there is also a place in my heart for the faceless mediocrity and "luxury" of large hotel chains. Anyway.
The aforementioned gallery spaces - the common rooms on each floor - are all pleasingly white walls broken up by a series of identical black-lacquered doors. The space has a delicious nowhere-ness to it - like it only exists to move you on to the next place. Like something out of a C.S. Lewis novel you're very aware that you're about to enter an entirely new and fantastic world.
Fate had clearly stuck a finger in the psychic soup that night because when I opened the door and flipped on the lights I saw this:
What an absolute delight - and terror - for me. I have been slightly…uneasy around Victorian antiques as of late and this is probably because I am currently reading The Arsenic Century: How Victorian Britain was poisoned at home, work and play. Naturally I've been looking at all Victorian items askance since. I am sure I am just being silly since I don't own very many antique Victorian pieces (yet) and I am not in the habit of licking the ones that I do. But still - in the golden glow of the (anachronistically) electric fixtures - the way that those deep green velvet curtains catch the light…well. I never did trust a curtain.
*If you're going to the AGO you simply MUST SEE Patti Smith: Camera Solo. I saw it this past summer in Detroit and it completely blew me away. If you fancy a bit of ring structure, check out this AGO blog post where Patti Smith herself tours the Revealing the Early Renaissance exhibit and offers her insights on both St. Francis and the mystic-influenced work of Pacino di Bonaguida.
**You might be more familiar with Rayne Baron's other incarnation which is that of the incomparable Ladyfag. I knew I had heard the name somewhere before and I was delighted to learn that the room was hers.

From the moment a person comes into existence, he becomes subject to the steady indoctrination of the society. A part of this indoctrination, possibly the foremost of it, holds that reality is all that can be touched with the hand and seen with the eye. This understanding, which is quite influential in society, is carried unquestioned from one generation to another.
A moment of thought, without being subject to any indoctrination, would however make one realise an astonishing fact:
From the moment we come into existence, all the things surrounding us are simply what our senses present to us. The world, human beings, animals, flowers, the colours of these flowers, odours, fruits, tastes of fruits, planets, stars, mountains, stones, buildings, space, in brief all things are perceptions our senses present us. To further clarify this subject, it will be helpful to talk about the senses, the agents providing information about the exterior world to us.
Our perceptions of seeing, hearing, smell, taste and touch, all function similarly to each other. Images we receive from objects we assume have existence in the external world (taste, odour, sound, sight, solidity) are all transmitted by neurons to the relevant centres in the brain. Hence, what the brain receives are only electrical signals. For instance, during the process of seeing, light clusters (photons) that travel from the object to the eye pass through the lens in front of the eye where they are refracted and fall inverted on the retina at the back of the eye. The electrical signal generated by the retina is perceived as an image in the visual centre of the brain after a series of processes. And we, in a part of our brain called the visual centre, which takes up only a few cubic centimetres, perceive a colourful, bright world that has depth, height and width.
A similar system applies in all the other senses. Tastes, for instance, are turned into electrical signals by some special cells in the mouth and on the tongue and transmitted to the relevant centre in the brain.
Something you claim that you see is in fact only a perception in your brain. The world in which you claim you are living is also nothing but a collection of perceptions.
An example will further clarify this subject. Let's assume that at the moment you are drinking a glass of lemonade. The coolness and solidity of the glass you hold is converted into electrical signals by special cells under your skin and transmitted to the brain. Simultaneously, the odour of the lemonade, the sweet taste you experience when you sip it and the yellow colour you see when you look at the glass are all transmitted to the brain in the form of electrical signals. The noise you hear when you put the glass on the table is similarly perceived by your ear and transmitted to the brain as an electrical signal. Sensory centres in the brain that are essentially different yet work in co-operation with each other interpret all of these perceptions. As a result of this interpretation, you assume yourself to drink a glass of lemonade. In other words, everything takes place in the sensory centres in the brain while you think that these perceptions have a solid existence.
However, at this point you are simply deceived since you have no evidence to assume that what you perceive in your brain has a material correlate outside your skull.
The subject that has been explained so far is an OBVIOUS fact proved true by science today. Any scientist would tell you the way this system works and that the world we live in is in reality an aggregate of perceptions. An English physicist, John Gribbin states with relation to the interpretations the brain makes that our senses are like the interpretation of stimulations coming from the external world, as if there is a tree in the garden. He goes on to say that our brain perceives the stimulations that are filtered through our senses, and that the tree is only a stimulation. He then asks: so, which one is real? The tree that is formed by our senses, or the tree in the garden?16
No doubt, this is a reality that requires profound reflection. The subject briefly explained here is one of the biggest facts you can come to realize in your life; so, you never plead ignorance of this OBVIOUS fact. And start reflecting on this subject.
So far we talked about the fact that we live in our skulls and perceive nothing more than that which our senses perceive. Now let's proceed a step further: "Do the things we perceive have an actual existence or are they imaginary?"
Let's start by asking: is there a need for the external world in order to see or hear?
No. There is by no means a need for the external world in order to see or hear. Stimulation of the brain in any form triggers the functioning of all the senses, forming feelings, visions and noises. The best example explaining this reality is the dream.
When we consider this fact deeply, we encounter quite astonishing facts. The brain, where our sensory centres are located, is only a piece of meat weighing 1,400 grams. And this piece of meat is protected in the skull, a mass of bones. This is such a protection that no light, noise, odour of any kind can penetrate through this bony structure. The inside of the skull is pitch-dark and completely insulated from any light and odour. However in this dark space, we live in a colourful world of millions of different tastes, odours and voices. How then does this happen? What makes you feel the light in pitch-darkness? What makes you feel the odour in a place completely insulated from every kind of odour? Alternatively, what makes you feel other feelings? Who creates all of these senses for you? In fact, every moment a miracle happens...While engrossed with everyday routines, you must never plead ignorance about the extraordinary nature of the situation you experience.
While dreaming, you lie on your bed, in a dark and quiet room, your eyes shut tight. Nothing reaches you from outside for you to perceive… neither light nor noise. However in your dreams, you experience any of the things you are likely to experience in your daily life, just as vividly and clearly as in reality. In your dreams, you also wake up and hurry to work. Alternatively, in your dreams you go on a holiday and feel the summer sunshine.
Besides, during the course of your dreams, you feel no doubts about what you see. Only waking up makes you realise that it was all a dream. In your dreams, you fear, feel anxious, happy or sorry. Simultaneously, you experience the solidity of matter. However, there exists no source producing these perceptions. You are still in a dark and quiet room.
Descartes states the following about this astonishing fact of dreams:
In my dreams, I see that I do various things, I go various places; when I wake up, however, I see that I have not done anything, gone anywhere, and that I peacefully lie in my bed. Who can guarantee to me that I do not dream also at the time being, and even more, that my whole life is not a dream?17
In this case, just as we experience our dreams as real and only realise that it was a world of fancy when we awake, we cannot claim that what we experience when awake is real. So, it is entirely probable that, we may well at any time be awoken from the life on earth, which we think we are living right now, and start experiencing real life. We have no evidence with which to deny it. On the contrary, the findings of modern science raise serious doubts about the assertion that what we experience in our daily lives has actual existence.
In this case, we come face to face with an OBVIOUS fact: while we think that this world in which we live exists, there is no ground on which to base this supposition. It is entirely possible that these perceptions do not have material correlates. Since this is so obvious, you must never plead ignorance that what you see, hear, feel and touch, in brief the "things" you acknowledge as the material world, are only images presented to you.
Someone who hears this for the first time is likely to react in the following way: "I hold with my hand, see with my eyes, so they all exist." Yet one should also think about the following: in dreams, that person also holds with his hand, sees with his eye and even experiences everything as if everything is real. He enjoys, feels fear and pain, takes pleasure…yet, he suddenly wakes up realising that it was only a dream. This is exactly the nature of the life in this world. One day man will wake up from this life as if from a dream and he will face real life.
If the thing we acknowledge as the material world is merely comprised of perceptions shown to us, then what is the brain, by which we hear, see and think? Isn't the brain, like everything else, a collection of atoms and molecules?
Like everything else we consider "matter", our brains are also perception… it is surely no exception. After all, our brains are also pieces of meat that we perceive by our senses. Like everything we assume to exist in the outer world, it is only an image for us.
So, who perceives all these? Who sees, hears, smells and tastes?
All these bring us face to face with an OBVIOUS fact: a human being who sees, feels, thinks and is conscious is more than just the sum of the atoms and molecules which make up his body. What makes a person a human being is actually the SPIRIT Allah grants him. Otherwise, attribution of consciousness and all human attributes and skills to a piece of meat of 1.5 kg would be definitely irrational, not to mention that this piece of meat is only an illusion. That is why, you must never plead ignorance that what makes you a person is the spirit Allah "breathed into" you.
He Who has created all things in the best possible way. He commenced the creation of man from clay; then produced his seed from an extract of base fluid; then formed him and breathed His Spirit into him and gave you hearing, sight and hearts. What little thanks you show! (Surat as-Sajdah: 7-9)
Since a person is not a heap of matter but a "spirit", who presents, or to put it more accurately "creates" and presents, the collection of perceptions called "matter" to our spirits?
Another astonishing fact is that, apart from colours, odours, tastes and voices, "width" and "distance" are also perceived in the brain. As mentioned above, all perceptions of the room we are in, for instance, are transformed into electrical signals and transmitted to our brains. The sensations transmitted to the brain are interpreted as the image of the room. In other words, you are, in truth, not inside the room you assume you are in; on the contrary, the room is inside you. The location of the room remains in the brain, or rather let us say, the location in which it is perceived in the brain is a tiny, dark and quiet spot. However, the vast landscapes you see on the horizon somehow also fit into this tiny spot. You perceive both the room you are in and the vast landscape in the same place. Maybe this is something you have never thought about until today. Yet, now you have been reminded of it. So, never plead ignorance that, just like concepts such as distance and width, vast landscapes and narrow rooms are also inside you.
The answer to this question is explicit: Allah, Who "breathes" His spirit into human beings, is the creator of everything surrounding us. The only source of these perceptions is Allah. Nothing exists but what He creates. In the following verse, Allah relates that He perpetually creates everything and that otherwise, nothing will continue to exist:
Allah keeps a firm hold on the heavens and the earth, preventing them from vanishing away. And if they vanished no one could then keep hold of them. Certainly He is Most Forbearing, Ever-Forgiving. (Surah Fatir: 41)
As a result of the steady conditioning, some people are exposed to from the time they are born, they may be unwilling to accept this fact. Yet, no matter how they avoid hearing or seeing it, this is an OBVIOUS fact. All the images shown man remain only creations of Allah. Moreover, not only the external world but also all the actions one claims as one's own happen only by the will of Allah. Any action independent and separate from the will of Allah is out of question. Allah draws attention to this fact in the Qur'an as follows:
… Allah created both you and what you do. (Surat as-Saffat: 96)
… you did not throw when you threw; it was Allah who threw (Surat al-Anfal: 17)
In truth, every individual is enclosed within his own image that is presented to him by his senses. Everyone has his own world. In this world, it is unlikely for anyone to know what others experience or see. Furthermore, one can never know if others see anything or not. That is because, like every other thing, people too are images perceived within his world (brain). This is actually the most important secret of your life.
As a result of all these we understand that the only absolute being is Allah. There is nothing but Him. He encompasses everything in the heavens, earth and everything in between. Allah relates in the Qur'an that He is everywhere and that He encompasses all things:
What! Are they in doubt about the meeting with their Lord? What! Does He not encompass all things! (Surah Fussilat: 54)
Both East and West belong to Allah, so whereever you turn, the Face of Allah is there. Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing. (Surat al-Baqarah: 115)
What is in the heavens and in the earth belongs to Allah. Allah encompasses all things.(Surat an-Nisa: 126)
When We said to you, "Surely your Lord encompasses the people with His knowledge." (Surat al-Isra: 60)
Allah, there is no god but Him, the Living, the Self-Sustaining. He is not subject to drowsiness or sleep. Everything in the heavens and the earth belongs to Him. Who can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them but they cannot grasp any of His knowledge save what He wills. His Footstool encompasses the heavens and the earth and their preservation does not tire Him. He is the Most High, the Magnificient. (Surat al-Baqarah: 255)
You must never plead ignorance of the fact that Allah encompasses you and He is with you every moment in at every place and that He witnesses everything you do and He is nearer to man than his jugular vein.

Circle Furniture's opens store on Route 53 in Pembroke to replace the company's smaller Hanover store about four miles up the road.
More than 50 years ago, Robert Tubman opened the first Circle Furniture store in Cambridge as a place for Harvard students to buy used and unfinished furniture for their dorm rooms.
The company is now run by Robert's sons, Harold and Richard, and Richard's wife, Peggy Burns. "They like to say it was their day care center," said Burns, referring to the store where the Tubmans grew up.
Circle Furniture's latest store at the intersection of routes 53 and 139 in Pembroke is a far cry from those roots. With more than 10,000 square feet spread over two floors, the store is filled with the company's signature furniture – which is now colorful and finished.
The Pembroke store will replace the company's smaller Hanover location about four miles up the road. That store will function as a clearance center for the next few months until the lease there runs out.
Circle, whose headquarters are in Acton, purchased the Pembroke building in May. It had been a home for other furniture stores. Circle gutted it, installing large windows to give the space generous natural light. The company's other stores are located in Cambridge, Danvers, Framingham, and at the headquarters in Acton.
Burns describes Circle's furniture as not so much contemporary as "transitional," or somewhere between modern and traditional, with clean lines and fun colors and fabrics. The company's customers are mainly what she calls "second-time buyers," who have moved past the unfinished furniture of Circle's early days and are ready to spend more money on better quality.
Burns said Circle is proud of its efforts to support local craftspeople and the environment. Most of its wooden pieces are made in New England, with wood from forests that are managed according to what the company says are "strict environmental, social and economic standards." It also sells a collection of bio-based upholstery, including cushions made of soy-based foam.
Even with 65 employees, the company is still very much a family business. On a recent day prior to the store's soft opening on Jan. 24, the three owners pitched in to wash windows while their dogs – which are usually allowed only in the Acton offices – lounged in the sunlight. The company has six employees in the Pembroke store. "We hope we need a lot more," Burns said.

spreadtheword necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 150 diseños de 34 diseñadores freelance.
We are looking for a modern, web 2.0 style, funky, fun and clean logo to appeal to our Gen-Y target audience, ideally with the incorporation of a "chimp" or "monkey" character that could be used throughout our website... (Note: website design comp to follow!!)
Our company provides an online backup service targeted at the younger generation which allows them to easily, quickly and cheaply backup all their photos, music or other data to 'insure' them against losing it all in the event of a computer failure, house fire etc.
Therefore we are looking for a logo that appeals to this generation and explains what we do, but also portrays a professional and trustworthy company. We like the new web 2.0 style of design with non-serif fonts, clean and bold images and cartoon style illustrations.
Note: We will most likely employ the winning designer to supply further alternative illustrations of the 'chimp' character used in the logo that can be used throughout our website as a 'guide'.
- A logo that includes a chimp or monkey character
- A web 2.0 style logo (e.g. clean, bold, non-serif fonts, etc)
- **OPTIONAL** We are considering a logo that includes a tagline (although we have not decided on specific text yet) - if so it would be something like "Because photo backup is no monkey business"
- A silhouette of a monkey - we need a real character that can be used throughout the website
- A character that has been used elsewhere - we need a unique and identifiable character
- Capital letters - we prefer the lower case look, however will be open to look at anything.

Well, that didn't take long. Only days after announcing that Christophe Lemaire would be leaving the brand to focus on his eponymous collection, Hermès announced on Thursday that Nadège Vanhee-Cybulski, most recently the head of ready-to-wear at The Row, will take over as its womenswear creative director, according to Women's Wear Daily.
It's not immediately clear what Vanhee-Cybulski's appointment will mean to accessories fiends; at Hermès, more so than at most other brands, there is almost a church-and-state separation between what goes on in ready-to-wear and how decisions are made about the brand's iconic, immensely profitable leather goods, silks and accessories. The 36-year-old Frenchwoman won't oversee handbags, but her aesthetic will no doubt influence those who do in certain ways.
Vanhee-Cybulski has spent the bulk of her career at Maison Martin Margiela, Céline and The Row, which, as the New York Times' Vanessa Friedman points out, gives a strong indication that Hermès is committed to pursuing the expansion of its ready-to-wear business in the most restrained and dignified of manners. Get ready for more ultra-luxurious minimalism, which is, of course, a look that translates extremely well from clothes to handbags and accessories.

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- It wasn't a space shuttle, but the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force got the next best thing.
A space shuttle crew compartment trainer arrived at the museum near Dayton aboard a cargo plane Wednesday. It's a mockup of the shuttle nose and cockpit that trained hundreds of astronauts for space.
The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/OSmFpp ) reports that over the next year, the museum will build a mock-up of a payload bay and a tail section. A new $48 million hangar will be built in 2014 to house the 23,000-pound artifact.
The three retired shuttles went to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the California Science Center in Los Angeles, and the National Air and Space Museum in Washington.

Little Britain star Walliams declared, Thank you MPs for voting in support of Gay Marriage
Evan Rachel Wood, Elizabeth Hurley and David Walliams are celebrating after politicians voted to support a bill that would legalise same-sex marriage in Britain.
Party leaders in the House of Commons pushed the legislation through on Tuesday (05Feb13) after Members of Parliament voted 400 to 175 in favour of enabling religious organisations to conduct same-sex marriages.
In order to become law, the legislation must now pass a vote in the House of Lords - but a slew of stars are ecstatic with the latest development and took to their Twitter.com pages to celebrate.
In a post Hurley writes, "Thank you to the clear majority of MPs who voted in support of Gay Marriage", while Wood told fans, "UK Parliament has voted for gay marriage. The majority has spoken and the fight for equality continues..".
Little Britain star Walliams declared, "Thank you MPs for voting in support of Gay Marriage. You did the right thing" and singer Geri Halliwell adds, "I'm so proud of Britain, thank you to government for voting on same sex marriage, fantastic and inspirational!" Actor Stephen Fry declared, "Whoop!!!!!! 400-175!!!! Now that's a majority!! A great day in the slow but glorious history of British progress and fairness".

Barbara Kreamer
Class of 1970
Major/Minor: English and American Studies
Barbara Osborn Kreamer pioneered political service for women in Maryland.
A resident of Aberdeen, she was an American lawyer, politician and Democratic member of the Maryland House of Delegates. She was the first woman member of the Harford County Council and the first elected member of a county board in Maryland to give birth.
Kreamer served one term on the County Council of Harford County, Maryland from 1978 to 1982. She represented the County Council to the Northeast Regional Waste Authority and the Board of Estimates. She led the Council to increase funding for public education improving Harford's funding ranking in the state. She initiated a comparable worth plank in the American County Platform from her post on the National Association of Counties Committee on Labor and Employee Benefits.
Two governors appointed Kreamer to four year terms on the Maryland Commission for Women in 1977 and 1981. She led the comparable worth initiative that reformed the Maryland state government pay plan to pay workers in female and minority dominated positions according to comparable worth principles.
Kreamer was elected to two terms of the Maryland General Assembly, representing District 34, Harford County, from 1983 until 1991. She sponsored successful education, employment, family and procurement bills. Kreamer chaired the Procurement Subcommittee that reviewed and sponsored a long delayed revision of the Maryland Procurement Code. The Maryland State Teachers' Association, the Maryland Psychologists' Association, Nine to Five: Baltimore Working Women and the Maryland Nurses Association gave Kreamer awards.
She served as the President of the Maryland Association of Elected Women in 1985. Elected by the Democrats of the First Congressional District of Maryland, she was a Delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 1988 that nominated Michael Dukakis.
In 1990, Kreamer ran for Congress in the 1st Congressional District. She lost in the Democratic Primary to Congressman Roy Dyson, who then lost to first time candidate Republican Wayne T. Gilchrest in the General election, who subsequently lost the Republican nomination in 2008. Kreamer was endorsed by The Washington Post, The Baltimore Sun and EMILY's List.
In 1994, Kreamer ran for lieutenant governor on a Democratic primary slate headed by state Sen. Mary A. Boergers, D-Montgomery, in the "first all-woman ticket" in the nation. The winning ticket was Parris Glendening and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend.
In 1998 and 2002 Democrats of Harford County elected Kreamer to the Democratic State Central Committee with the highest number of votes on the ten member board. In 2006 Kreamer was reelected to a third term, and reelected once again in 2010.
In the 2002 elections Kreamer ran for District E of the Harford County Council to represent Aberdeen, Churchville, Hickory and Fountain Green. Kreamer was unopposed in the Primary, and The Baltimore Sun endorsed her in the General Election. Republican Richard Slutzky, an Aberdeen High School retired teacher, won.
From 1971 to 1976 an English and Creative Writing teacher at Bel Air High School, Kreamer later became a lawyer after graduating from the University of Maryland School of Law and passing the Maryland bar. She conducted a solo general civil practice of law in Harford and Cecil Counties.
She received a B.A. from Washington College in 1970, an M.L.A. from The Johns Hopkins University in 1975, and a J.D. from University of Maryland School of Law in 1989.

A thorough review, Hendrik. I'm a little surprised at the "tentative recommended" rating ultimately awarded, but hey, it's just a rating. One person's awesome is another person's average. I've been very pleased with mine. It's roomy, and extraordinarily comfortable.
Re the burrito packing with a CCF pad, I also have a Multimat, but I found it a little tricky to fit the rolled pad in and then try to get it to expand and fit the bag. The foam material locked against itself, leaving me with quite a bit less room in the pack. Since then I've just carried it outside. PArt of the reason my be that my pad is a Long, and hence more awkward to unroll in a pack.
I was also a little worried at first that the shock cord back panel system wouldn't keep a Z-Lite in place, but it did, very well. I always use this now – you never know when a 4 panel Z-Lite will come in handy.
Lastly, although the side pockets are good, I find my 1L Platy has a habit of falling out the pockets when I bend over. I have to try and create a little tensioning cord over it sometime. Losing the water bottle would be a pain. Losing my puukko would be a major disappointment.
I really hope Mateusz gets the online store up and running though. After all his work he deserves to do well.Jun 15, 2011 at 1:42 am #1749427Sebastian BoennerMember
@racoon-on-tourLocale: beautiful Rhineland (Germany)
Interesting review, Hendrik. Thanks for that. Never thought of using my huckePACK without an improvised frame (I prefer the burrito style).
You wrote that the pack volume (Main body only) is between 42-53 liters.
But in the comparison chart it's listed with 38 liters?
Good point by the way with the prices one have to pay for different packs in the US and in Europe. E.g. the GG Murmur (a rather cheap pack in the US) is sold in Germany for 100€, the G4 for 150€! That makes (at the moment) 144$ for the Murmur and 216$ for the G4 due to exchange rates, shipping, VAT, etc. (The Mariposa Plus is sold for 189€ / 272 $!!!)
I'm missing one of my favorite features of the huckePACK in the review! The unique possibility to wrap the hip belt around the pack when not needed, WITHOUT affecting the shoulder straps! Something I really like when carrying lighter loads, or when going by plane or bus services.
But all in all a worth to read review on one of my most favorite packs! (And the dyneema version does indeed look sexy!)Jun 15, 2011 at 11:19 pm #1749867Sabine SchrollBPL Member
Very good review, Hendrik! I mostly agree with you although I am still a little bit ambivalent with mine.
I bought one of the silnylon pre-series packs in S-M (even mixed sizes are possible!), 330g – using it since more than a year for 2 longer hikes of 400 and 350 km, some week-enders, and 24h's.
Same problem as Mark mentioned I am not able to pack it burrito style without loosing much of available space. 1 liter platypus is falling out of the diagonal side pocket, but _only_ when hunkering down.
The craftsmanship is OUTSTANDING! My Whisper is already disintegrating with loose seams, threads and stitches and has not even seen the half of trails my huckePACK has.
The lid is a real pleasure every time I open and close the pack – brilliant solution. The access to the side pockets during walking is very easy because it opens also sideways.
Contrary to Hendrik my comfort zone with the pack ends unfortunately around 7-8kg – the shoulder straps and the hip belt isn't really comfortable and snuggling to my body. The edges of the straps are way to hard for me and I have bruises on collarbones and hips after a few hours. But then – there are variations in anatomy …
And – I wouldn't rely on the water-proofness, at least not with silnylon!
Overall I really like it and I am sure I will find a solution with Mateusz for the strap edges.Jun 16, 2011 at 11:23 am #1750005David UreMember
Great review Hendrik. Too bad this pack isn't available in the US!Jun 16, 2011 at 12:48 pm #1750034Diplomatic MikeMember
@mikefaedundeeLocale: Under a bush in Scotland
A simple solution is to place your foam mat inside your pacliner. Let it unroll to the diameter you need, then place it inside your pack. Much easier.Jun 16, 2011 at 12:50 pm #1750035. .BPL Member

Great review, Hendrik.
Thank you for the detailed analysis and photos. I especially like the lid on this pack and the clean lines. Perhaps another trip to Germany is in order :)Jun 16, 2011 at 11:57 pm #1750258
Many thanks for the comments!
David & a gould, it is available in the US and one doesn't need to travel to Germany to get one! There are a few huckePACKs already in the US, Japan, Hong Kong, Norway – just send Mateusz an Email to the here mentioned address, and you will receive an answer with an Excel-based configurator (yes, works fine on a Mac and Linux with Open Office) which lets you put together your dream huckePACK.
Mike, a good idea for those who use packliners (I don't). It is right that depending on the mat used it can be difficult to unroll it further and space might be "lost", though I usually just use that lost space for items like my bivy and other soft items to fill it up, which works fine.
Sabine, I put the Platypus in the big pocket for that reason. If one uses the included dyneema cord to create a side compression system, it also can help with that – just tug the platy under a cord and it should be fine! Comfort zone is indeed a personal matter & anatomy. I hope you manage to work out something with Mateusz regarding the shoulder straps!
Basti, maybe a little mix-up with the volumes. I will look into it and have it corrected if needed. Regarding the "unique feature" – well, imo it ain't unique, I can do that with the majority of packs hanging on my wall =) Though you are correct, it is a nice feature!
Mark, a webshop would make the live of potential customers a lot easier, for sure. I went over to carry my puukko in a pant (cargo) pocket, which allows it to be quick to grab in most situations. Losing my puukko is not an option for me, hence in the past I also have carried it in the front mesh pocket and secured it with a simple knot from the lid/ compression line.Jun 17, 2011 at 1:03 am #1750265Mike In SocalBPL Member

Thanks for the review. I think I want one just because I like saying "LAUFBURSCHE huckePACK".
MJun 20, 2011 at 3:58 am #1751209
Great review of what looks to be a great product, particularly for those of us in UK / Europe. I've emailed Mateusz for the configurator and eagerly await its arrival…. Fingers crossed this could be my next UL pack….Jun 24, 2011 at 9:46 am #1752865
deleted – configurator has dimensions.Jul 5, 2011 at 2:12 pm #1756186
Well, having played around with the configurator I've since contacted Mateusz who not only quickly contacted me but also suggested that as my size was between L and XL, that he could make me a custom size order to be certain of a good fit…. now that's what I call service – he also answered my query regarding bear-can compatibility too….can't wait to receive the finished article and I really hope that the Laufbursche 'brand' does well – it certainly deserves to :)Jan 31, 2012 at 7:36 am #1832149
LAUFBURSCHE just announced that they plan to open their long-expected webshop by the end of February!
Exciting! That should mean it should soon be very easy to order a huckePACK or huckePÄCKchen (or a Cuben Laavu, or a Tanzpalast… =)Mar 10, 2012 at 11:46 pm #1851884Sage AsherMember
These packs look and sound amazing! I am planning a long bike tour in Europe and also want to bring a backpack with me for backpacking trips into the mountains. How small can this pack get? Thanks!!!Mar 11, 2012 at 7:54 am #1851909Ken ThompsonBPL Member
@hereLocale: Right there
My German is terrible. What's the latest?Mar 11, 2012 at 2:20 pm #1852050
Ken, Deutsch ist sehr einfach!
Last info I have is mid March. They're busy with filling the storage so that there's no waiting times for packs, shelters and gear.
The pack can get fairly small. Check some of the photos above to see it!Apr 4, 2012 at 5:17 am #1863416
And the webshop is open! Head over to laufbursche-gear.de to get your choice of huckePACK or huckePÄCKchen!Apr 4, 2012 at 9:12 am #1863495Frank H.BPL Member

.766 cents to one Euro. So it seems like it is 25% too much. Thanks mighty dollar.May 9, 2012 at 8:17 am #1875826
A few trips down the line with my trusty Huckepack and I can't be more impressed with this pack. Even on a recent bothy trip carrying coal on top of all gear it was a superbly comfortable carry at c. 17kg. The capacity is more than enough for multi-day trips with food, even in winter. I've now sold the larger ULA Catalyst as this is all the pack I need. Can't recommend highly enough :)

|1961 Gibson SG Custom
In my opinion, the SG shape has to be one of the most original guitar designs. It was shaped like no other guitar at the time. Gibson gave it the designation SG which stood for solid guitar.
Sales of Les Pauls were on the wane and Gibson wanted a new flashy guitar that would attract players.
Ted McCarty. He was head of the company at the time and is credited with designing a number of Gibson's other instruments.
Les Paul body slab which a designer cut with an extra cutaway. To me the SG looks like a totally different guitar that is very unique and original. The SG is very different in size and shape from the single cutaway Les Paul.
Paul states the first time he saw the new guitar he was passing a music store window and there was this new instrument with his name on it.
Les Paul asked Gibson to remove his name from the guitar.
In 1963 Gibson renamed the guitar the SG Standard. The new SG's outsold the Les Paul single cutaway. In the first three years it was introduced it sold on average 6,000 units each year, while the LP only sold 1700 units during 1958 through 1960, its final three years.
the neck had a very slender profile with no heel. The neck joins the SG's body at the 22nd fret. This makes playing an ease. However some luthiers claim it is a bit of a problem when the guitar falls down, it generally breaks at the neck or head joint.
|1963 SG Standard
Gibson also offered the beautiful SG Custom. This was the guitar that caught my eye at the music store. This beauty had a clear white finish and three gold plated Gibson PAF Humbuckers. The Custom came entirely with gold plated hardware. Some early SG Customs came with a short Gibson Vibrola instead of the one with the full cover. There are also some SG Standards and Customs that feature with Gibson's Maestro Vibrola that have a white plastic handle on the tip of the arm. This option was introduced as a option in 1963. The Kluson knobs had white molded plastic buttons.
Bigsby vibratos on some SG Customs a few came with pearl inlaid ebony at the base of the vibrato. This was offered in 1962.
In 1961 the Gibson SG Standard (Les Paul) sold for $310, which was a substantial price in that era.
SG bodies were all made of solid mahogany. The SG Standard came with twin humbucking pickups, a mahogany neck with an ebony fretboard that was inlaid with pearloid trapezoidal makers.
the SG Junior and SG Special came with Gibson's wrap-around bridge.
the SG Junior and the SG Special. The SG Junior came with one P-90 single coil pickup in the bridge position, while the SG Special came with twin P-90 pickups. The pickups came with a black plastic cover.
By 1964 Gibson decided to use six screw to anchor the pickguard instead of four.
By 1966 Gibson gave its budget Melody Maker guitar the SG shape and offered it with a Pelham Blue or Fire Engine Red finish. Gibson also offered SG's in the Pelham Blue finish, however they never caught on.
In 1966 Gibson redesigned the SG's neckset and heel and enlarged the pickguard. Models sold from 1961 through early 1966 came with a small pickguard. The new pickguard was nicknamed the Batwing.
SG Pro. This was a cherry red model with twin P-90 pickups, a Tune-O-Matic bridge and a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece.
The neck was unbound with a rosewood fretboard. The markers were white dots and the logo was silk screened on the headstock. The unusual feature was the triangular shaped black pickguard and the semi-circular black plastic panel that held the controls and input.
The other Gibson offerings were the SG 100, SG 200 and SG 250. These were really odd instruments that were offered around late 1970 or 1971. All had the SG style body, but this time it was made out of maple, however there are examples made of mahogany.
The necks were set maple with 22 frets on a rosewood fretboard and dot inlays. The headstock was black with the Gibson logo silk screened in gold ink.
The control plate was made of a rectangular piece of nickel plated metal and slanted at the lower bout.
This housed the volume, tone controls and an input. This guitar also came with a nickel plated hand rest adorned with the Gibson logo that fit over the guitars redesign Tune-O-Matic bridge. This bridge was different from Gibson's normal one. It was more like a Fender hardtail bridge.
The SG 200 was also available with a Maestro Vibrola. Some of the SG 200 came with a trapezoidal pickguard.
|SG 250 and SG 200
Perhaps the reason these guitars were not popular had to do with the design. The neck, fretboard, and strings were parallel to the top of the guitars body. This resulted in the guitar having a high action for all of the SG 100 line up. Plus the SG 100 series single coil pickups all sounded tinny.
As I stated, this line only lasted a year and was replaced in 1972 by the SG I, SG II and SG III.
The SG I appeared to look like the SG Junior. However it came with one mini humbucking pickup in the bridge position that had a black plastic cover. It had a trapezoidal shaped pickguard and a semi-circular black plastic control panel on the lower bout, similar to the SG Pro. This housed the volume, tone controls and the guitars input. Most players at some point, discard the pickguard.
Once again the SG III was the same guitar as the SG II, except once again it had a cherry sunburst finish. All guitars in this series were made of mahogany. Gibson used Kluson tuners and a wrap-around bridge.
You will find a lot of examples of this guitar with the bridge changed out to one that is adjustable. The SG I and II came with cherry or walnut finishes.
In 2007 Gibson issued a new SG III guitar, but this one was quite different from the original. This guitar had a white pickguard that covered most of the bodies' upper section. Housed in the pickguard were three single coil pickups. The single volume and tone control was on the guitars lower bout. Additionally a 6 was rotary knob was placed near the other controls. This control allowed the player to select all pickup combinations.
The hardware was nickel plated. Tuners were by Kluson. The tail piece was a stop unit with a Tune-O-Matic bridge.
|Steve Moore's SG
It had two chromed humbucking pickups and nickel plated hardware including the Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop tailpiece.
I know Guild made a guitar with carving that looked like an SG.
Guitarist Steve Moore also owned and played one, but his was heavily customized with an extra pickup, additional controls and a gold plated Gibson Vibrola
SG was Gibson's Robot Guitar. This SG comes with an auto tuning system developed by the German company Trionical.
The Tune-O-Matic bridge houses individual piezo units that are connected to a micro processor. The computer then analyses the signal and commands each of the guitar's Powerhead Locking Tuners which automatically pull the strings into tune. These tuners operate by means of small servo motors.
The Robot guitar contains a small lithium rechargeable battery to power the motors. Gibson offers this technology to several of its models.
One guitar that is mistaken for an SG is the redesigned Melody Maker. This guitar was first produced in 1969 as a replacement for the double cutaway Melody Maker. The newer version was given the SG shaped body with one, two or three pickups.
There were differences between the Melody Maker and the SG starting with the Melody Makers narrow headstock, single coil pickups with white plastic covers, cheaper tuning pegs with plastic white buttons and a large white pickguard.
However there was only one three position slider switch. The instrument came with two volume and two tone controls.
The biggest complaint about this era's Melody Maker with the cast saddle bridge and the cheap tuners. This along with the vibrato made tuning difficult. I am told the pickups are great and sound warmer than Fender pickups.
The original models came in Fire Engine Red or Pelham Blue. A burgundy version was added a year later as was Inverness Green.
Some old Pelham Blue models are mistaken for green. This also happens with old Pelham Blue Fenders as the yellowing effect of the clear coat lacquer seems to fade to a greenish hue through the years.
Actually it was the Cream's manager, Robert Stigwood, who contacted Koger to do artwork for the band.
Clapton referred to this guitar as The Fool, after the artists.

MBDA clients created or retained 16,700 jobs, pathways to a stronger middle class
WASHINGTON (June 25, 2013) —The U.S. Department of Commerce's Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) set new records in fiscal year 2012, as detailed in its FY 2012 Annual Performance Report, released today. MBDA Business Centers helped minority-owned businesses obtain over $3.6 billion in contracts and capital and create or retain 16,730 jobs, the highest level in the agency's 44-year history.
MBDA's performance in FY12 builds on success achieved during the first term of the Obama administration. From FY09 to FY12, MBDA helped its clients obtain $14.6 billion in contracts and capital. These efforts also helped businesses create or save 33,048 jobs. This marks the best four-year performance in the agency's history.
"Today's report illustrates the crucial role MBDA plays in helping U.S. minority-owned businesses grow and expand globally, particularly because of the quantifiable return on investment and impact these businesses have on our economy," said David A. Hinson, MBDA National Director. "In his 2013 State of the Union speech, President Obama outlined his vision for making America a magnet for investment, innovation, and economic growth. While we have made significant progress, much work remains to ensure that opportunities to prosper are open to all entrepreneurs who are pursuing the American dream, especially our minority business owners."
In FY12, MBDA completed an agency-wide restructuring, making it leaner and more efficient. This enabled the agency to further expand their national footprint by launching new MBDA Business Centers in Anchorage, Alaska; Fresno, Calif.; Santa Fe, N.M.; Memphis, Tenn.; Bismarck, N.D. and Tulsa, Okla. With nearly 40 business centers nationwide, MBDA has also transitioned to a new operating model that is MBDA Business Center-focused and global in scope.
More details about MBDA's performance, including the size and industry of firms assisted, sources of contracts and capital, and state-level data, can be found in the full report on the Agency's website at http://www.mbda.gov/budget-performance.
About the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA)
MBDA, www.mbda.gov, is the only Federal agency solely dedicated to the growth and global competitiveness of U.S. minority-owned businesses.

Release Date: 2013 |
Album Rating: 4.0Album is streaming on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLG71P8eT4DF0xKVjXg3mFEV4n6ZOOAO62
Whew. Doesn't cover all the aspects I wanted, nor is it as well written as I'd like, but I'm only a humble mortal.
Digging: Run the Jewels - Run the Jewels 4
Album Rating: 1.5"Erra prove they are perhaps the most genuinely inspired band in all of metalcore."
Oh wow.
Album Rating: 4.0Yeah my summaries are fucking awful. I know this. I admit this.
This album is ace, I like it more than Impulse.
Funny how on paper they're not doing anything new whatsoever, but when they start playing it just sounds way better than everyone else.
Digging: Cut Copy - I Thought Of Numbers
Album Rating: 4.0For me its the musicianship, cohesion, and for some reason I can't entirely explain, they really do appear to be more genuinely inspired and love the music they make. I feel like you can really tell they put their all into their songs.
I hear you. You're definitely connected to this stuff more than I.
Album Rating: 4.0Fucking sick album. These guys are machines when it comes to riffs.
Digging: $ilkmoney - Attack of the Future Shocked, Flesh Covered, Meatb
Album Rating: 4.5Holy shit an actual good review for this
They have a unique sound just by the way they make riffs and such. It's like all of the old classic rock bands - same on paper, yet pretty distinctive when you hear them.
"They have a unique sound just by the way they make riffs and such. It's like all of the old classic rock bands - same on paper, yet pretty distinctive when you hear them."
lol u hi mate
Digging: Covet - technicolor
OK I listened to one song and I can pinpoint every single influence from the damn thing, and certainly none of them are classic rock bands
Album Rating: 4.0Treb, that's not what he means. You may consider rereading.
he's saying classic rock bands are the same on paper but sound different or some shit which doesn't even make sense, and this shit sounds like every other album ever so yeah not a good comparison
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffI'm glad they didn't go the Elitist route and turn Risecore.
Album Rating: 4.5you don't make sense
Album Rating: 4.5yeah elitist's last full album was great and then they put out that much, much shittier EP with really, really retarded sounding clean vocals
Album Rating: 4.0It makes pretty good sense to me; I at least understand his comparison. The idea is that Erra aren't physically doing anything different than many other metalcore bands, they simply execute the same elements (polyrhythms, layered melodies, chugs, riffs, breakdowns, screams, cleans, etc etc) more effectively than their peers. And I agree.
Honestly when I read that comment I just pictured you as your avatar. I get that you're not the biggest fan of Erra. That's perfectly fine and I'm sure your reasons for not enjoying it are legitimate. I just don't feel the same way.
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffYeah I was surprised they dropped their sound for bland and awful music.
Album Rating: 4.0I think Between the Balance really suffered lyrically. Still mad love for Elitist as a band, Mike D is the most righteous dude.
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffI still jam Elitist's other albums and still like them but I try to forget they even made that newest EP. Hope they recover from it.
my boy jesse killing it on this

If you haven't already read Tutorial #7, you should check it out first. Or, start at the beginning, if you're new to the series!
Making the Enemies
Now to actually make these enemies! Finally...
Step 4.1 Create a new Code File named Enemies.dm
Step 4.2 Create the /Enemies type and some enemy mobs using the following code
This will create 2 enemies of the type /mob/Enemies, Red Guy and Green Guy, underscores will be converted to spaces in-game.
We set the icons on both of them, followed by setting up their basic stats.
These are the same stat variables that we setup for our Player way back in Tutorials #3 and #4
As mentioned before, we'll just be using our Exp variable to represent how much Exp killing them will reward.
Step 4.3 Now to start up the enemies and their AI
spawn(-1) src.CombatAI()
return ..()
If the object is placed on the map, it will run when the game starts up. Otherwise, it will happen whenever you create a new object through the game's code, or load an object from a file.
You may have noticed that we didn't set the HP of our enemies, only their MaxHP. Instead of writing 2 lines with the same value for countless enemies, we'll just set it in New() for all of them.
spawn() is another built in proc. It will allow you to process multiple things without waiting for each to complete.
Passing -1 as the argument in spawn() will make sure the code still happens in order. This will help prevent runtime errors and timing issues.
spawning()ing off our CombatAI will prevent everything from locking up when a new enemy is created, since their CombatAI will run for as long as they exist.
Lastly, we return ..(), ..() represents the parent proc, we call this to perform any default actions, like setting a location.
Step 4.4 Its almost over! We just need to write some simple combat AI. This code also goes in Enemies.dm
for(var/mob/Player/M in oview())
while(src) will cause everything tabbed under it to repeat for as long as src exists.
The first thing we do in this while loop, is a for loop through all of the /Player types in oview() of the enemy.
If we find any /Players we take some action:
We'll check the distance to the target using the built in get_dist() proc.
If within 1 tile from the target Player (next to them):
The enemy will turn towards them using get_dir()
Then it will use the Attack() verb we created in the previous Tutorial.
If they weren't next to the Player: The enemy will walk towards them using the built in step_to() proc.
step_to() uses built in path finding, so the enemy will make its way around walls and such.
After doing one of these 2 actions, we use break to exit the for() loop. This will prevent the enemy from trying to hunt multiple Players at once.
Then, at the very end, we sleep() for a random amount of time between 4 and 8 ticks using rand().
Notice how this sleep() is tabbed into the while() level. If we didn't have a delay at the end of our while() loop, it would just run non-stop, and effectively freeze/crash the game.
That should get your basic battle system going, and your game into a truly playable state. Enemies can be placed on the map the same way turfs were, way back in the Creating a Map section of Tutorial #1
Contine to Tutorial #9: Interface & Macros
