Packing Ideas and Tips for Traveling by Dale Montz

Knowing how to pack a suitcase is essential to being a good traveler. Ever wonder how to pack light and still stay in style, my suggestion is to pick a basic color that you enjoy wearing and then add two other accessory colors and when you do this it will look and feel like you have several different outfits, for the males it is easy just a different shirt or tie and they are set.
Knowing how to pack a suitcase is essential to being a good traveler. Ever wonder how to pack light and still stay in style, my suggestion is to pick a basic color that you enjoy wearing and then add two other accessory colors and when you do this it will look and feel like you have several different outfits, for the males it is easy just a different shirt or tie and they are set.

The first think you want to do is start making a list of all the different items you will need for your trip, mentally take a note of all the activities and places you will be visiting and what you will be doing there so that you can gather all the items you will need for them. Pack a couple of plastic coat hangers in your bag, it seems like they never have enough hangers in the hotel rooms, if you pack plastic ones they weight almost nothing and are very handy to have.

When packing liquids remember they can expand under pressure, so never fill to the top and/or take some out if it is a new container. Toiletries should be as small as possible, and packed in sealable plastic bags for protection against spillage.

Pack each outfit in its own large re-sealable plastic bag, the rolling method works well for this packing style. If you have bulky items like for skiing use space bags that suck out all the air, you can fit so much more in your suitcase. The only word of caution here is that you want your suitcase to be packed firm so the contents won't shift and also you want to keep in mind to pack so your clothes will unpack wrinkle free.

Guard against lost luggage woes by packing your plastic bag(s) of toiletries in your carry-on bag, along with your most valuable items, and one change of clothes. Put all of your camera and computer items together in one carry-on bag, it will be easier during inspection, and then easier to put it all back together again after inspection.

Be vigilant in removing metal and in packing your carry-on. You also need to be aware of metal and batteries etc in you checked luggage, as that sometimes sets off an inspection alarm and may delay your luggage, it is easier to carry these items in your carry on so they can inspect them during your personal check in, rather than delay your checked in luggage.

No matter what type of bag you are packing, you will want to avoid spilling any liquids on your clothes or equipment and when you arrive at your destination unpack your bags as soon as possible after you get into your hotel room.

Like Rolling Stones Editor David Fricke's 2003 List, The First 100 Is Heavy On Classic Rock, With Boomer-Friendly, Blues-Influenced Players Dominating The Top 10.

For the second time in 10 years Rolling Stone magazine has named Jimi Hendrix the best guitar player ever. The hundred Greatest Guitarists list, displayed in the December eight issue of the mag, improves upon Rolling Stone's 2003 rankings by opening voting to "a panel of top guitar players and other experts" including 1 or 2 rock legends who themselves occupy spots on the list.

Similar to Rolling Stone editor David Fricke's 2003 list, the top 100 is heavy on classic rock, with boomer-friendly, blues-influenced players dominating the top 10. Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page tail Hendrix, while rhythm god Keith Richards finishes 4th. Southern slide master Duane Allman, Fricke's runner up, slid to number nine, just ahead of the wind-milling punk ire of the Who's Pete Townsend.

The rest of the list is light on modern day rockers and crammed with the guitar gods of generations past. While this reflects the graying readership of Rolling Stone (the mag's heavily white [75%] and male [58%] circulation audience is stuffed with tie-died kids of the 60's) it also showcases rock and pop music's gentle drift away from the guitar-as-lead instrument setup which dominated Rolling Stone's early years. At number thirty three, Prince who rose to prominence 27 years ago is the top ranking guitar strummer still actively evolving as musician. Tom Morello (fortieth), who earned guitar king standing with late 90's revolutionaries Rage Against the Machine, stands as the highest ranking guitar player to "recently" break onto the scene.
So where have all of the guitar gods gone? To the dance-floor, generally. The rise of hip hop and dance music have crippled rock music's growth, pushing it out of the conventional and toward the fringes of youth culture. One just desires to spin the FM dial to see the proof. In the past 3 years, the New York metro area has lost its two largest modern and alternative rock radio stations. Though the (previous) 101.9 RXP lives on in the quick growing Internet radio realm, a lack of FM presence actually hurts{ as even the most hot ears need stations to tune to.

Lacking important radio exposure, rock bands have seen sales suffer. Having a look at the "Charts" page of the Greatest Guitarist issue of Rolling Stone, the top 10 Billboard best-selling albums contain only one entry from an act that could be given the "rock" tag. That band Coldplay exists several hundred weepy and insecure miles from the swaggering Led Zeppelin types who dominated the charts in years past. In the meantime, the latest copy of the pop compilation series NOW, the fortieth contains only two tracks from rock groups, one being evergreen punchline Nickelback. Hip-hop and dance music fill the iPods of the Apple generation and rock sales plunge. In the place of the guitar wielding machismos of Rolling Stone's list, rappers and DJs became the new rock stars witness David Guetta hanging with Bono or Lil Wayne donning Wanderers and croaking Bob Dylan's part on the "We Are the World" remake,writes tagza.com.
