If the purpose of a GHB is to get home, then many people here are simply overloaded. To be honest, I too walked around with food and water until I realized how stupid it was. That stuff is heavy and food and water will not be an issue if you are just trying to walk back home.
The average person walks a little faster than 3 miles per hour. If you're 15 miles from home, that's 5 hours of walking. Even 30 miles away just means a long day of walking. Therefore, you won't need thousands of calories. You won't need to shoot squirrels with your survival rifle. You won't need portable stoves to cook said squirrel. You won't be camping out in people's front yards. You won't be so far from home that you need that solar charger. You won't be in so many gun battles that you need your gun cleaning supplies. I'm just pointing out how wholly unnecessary some of these items are for the vast majority of CA residents.

I only work 2 miles from home,and have a CAT front end loader I can drive.
That's my plan.
Get Out Da Way,Get Out Da Way...
Also, I keep one of those store bought emergency 2-3 day packs in my truck,along with a CCW.
Worst case I can always leave my bag on the side of the road while I merrily skip along the downhill easy happy path back home.
My pack sits in my trunk and doesn't take up too much space. Better to be prepared I say. To each their own.
At least I'll know who to call if I need a bandage for a blister on my foot
OTOH, sometimes small and compact is a good idea.
Something like this : http://www.survivalmetrics.com/store...y_survival_kit - 6 x 6 x 2.5 inches, 14 oz, small enough to fit in a cargo pocket if your work allows that kind of casual dress - might work for a with-you-ALL-the-time kit. (It's still a bit of overkill for walking home - not a lot of likelihood one might be fishing or trapping food - and is missing food and an actual water bottle - but wouldn't fit in a pocket if it had those; trade-off.) These days, I kind of expect EDC pocket knives and a flashlight outside emergency kits.
A bit expensive, I think.
Madoka, where are you getting your med supplies? I bought some stuff through Amazon, and some from https://www.shopmedvet.com/

They had this deal where you got free shipping for orders over $150, hence why I ordered so much Kerlix. They also allow you to stack a small discount (usually 5%) for signing up for their newsletter or holidays like the recent President's Day weekend.
Survival vs camping. Big difference.
Try living out of your GHB for a weekend and see how many things will not be needed.
Better still is to actually use GHB to walk home. Just carry the damn thing and then theory will evolve to knowing.
Survival means staying adaptable and inventive. Rolling with the variables. Your brain is the best defense. Think about absolutely have to have stuff that'll help you live another day. You can go days without eating. Just water is needed. Focus on EDC items that'll mesh with your other supplies and think about loosing everything. Can you utilize things at work or wherever that'll help you survive?
Think outside the GHB and plan to have nothing (if lost or destroyed). Can you scrounge some survival items from what's around you every day? Things at work?
Use mylar birthday balloons taped together for a blanket?
Garbage bags to carry stuff or as rain poncho?
Woman's restroom has blood stoppers in it?
Shredded paper as kindling or insulating your shirt/jacket?
Hand sanitizer to help start fire or clean wounds?
Ballpoint pen or scissors as improvised weapon?
Packing tape for wound care or taping ankles?
My point is that there is a lot of good stuff in your GHB and lots of wasted redundant heavy stuff that can be improvised when you keep your eyes and mind focused on what is really needed.
Be inventive. Stay warm, Stay dry. Stay mobile. Stay safe. Get home.

The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
-- Frederick Douglass --
I didnt know I was a slave until I found out I couldnt do the things I wanted.
Frederick Douglass --
I'll also add that everyone should get out and use their stuff. When you need it most is not the time to learn how it works or how well it does/doesn't work.
Even taking a day hike with your GHB is a nice way to see if it weighs too much and will be uncomfortable and hold you back. GHBs should be nice and light and not weigh you down.
Also, periodically go through your GHB and see what haven't been used in a while and determine whether or not the weight is justified to keep it. Your bags will constantly evolve for the better that way. For example I don't think I've ever actually used a zip tie out of my GHB but the weight/size/utility comparison is worth it to me to have a couple for whatever random reason may come up.
I actually use the stuff in my GHB very often - more often than I thought I would actually. Things like the gloves, solar panel, flashlight, water bottle (with the filter removed), etc. Often I eat a Cliff bar when I get munchy at work and forget to replace it for a while. So good to keep track of what you have for sure.

I was in Denver during 1997 and we had 3' of snow fall overnight. Shut down the freeways and most roads. I thought I would run down to Safeway and see what was available. The parking lot was full of 4X4's and the shelves were empty. All of that in just a few hours. Don't kid yourself that if something bad happens, that people do not hoard. They understand that if things get worse, you are on your own. Back then, if the power was out, you were on your own for at least a week. People died in their cars because they were stuck in feet of snow just a few miles from town.
That storm taught me to never be unprepared again, and I think this is a great thread that reminds us about getting home and what to have in case the roads are not available. For me, the worst case would be eathquake, bridges out, raining cats and dogs and 100 miles to go.

That due diligence is especially important if you have kids. You're not going to cover 50 miles a day with small kids, you might cover 10 if the weather cooperates.

I say carry what you feel most comforable with in a disasterous situation.
If that means a huge 3 day bag then do it.
If that means a small fanny pack or satchel then do it.
Ive modified my EDC and GHB over the past few years I started doing it.
I started off with a huge regular backpack with enough supplie for a week.
Now I just carry a smaller satchel type bag with still plenty of stuff to get me home.
My SHTF bag has changed over the years also to be more lighter and effective.

My GHB are actually a part of my BOB that I throw into it if a possible bug out scenario happens.
Also, I've integrated my GHB as my hiking pack.
Contents are as follows:
-I use an Adventure Medical Kit 1.0(various bandages, gauss, etc) as the base of the kit and store all these inside
-super glue
-emergency blanket
-bic lighter
-water proof matches
-lip balm
-Folding knife
-water purification tablets
-folding eating utensils
-P38 can opener
-paracord bracelet
-knife sharpener
-1 cliff bar
In addition I have a multi tool, EDC pocket knife, flashlight, and 32oz nalgene water bottle.
I keep all of these either in my backpack or my car. I work about 15 miles away from home, but have carried all of this on regular 10 mile hikes with no problem. I always carry a days worth of water with me (why i got the 32 oz water bottle). I can't imagine a 15 mile get home hike will last any more than a day so I pack to prepare and prevent injury, and sustain for a day (2 days and toughing it out) to cover 15 miles.
silly question...
why cant your car be used? i mean if say the parking garage collapsed of your car, you are screwed if you keep your GHB in the car.
backed when i worked... sigh... at a pubic university up on a hill in hayward, i made so many plans on driving home. even if the hayward fault, which is less than half a mile from the center of campus broke, using my 4wd which then i had kinda setup as a rock crawler, which means i could go over certain "obstacles."
those who planned on abandoning their vehicles, what scenario were you looking at such that, your vehicle is still in tact and drivable but the roads have collapsed...?

However, looking at our east coast friends that have to deal with hurricane evacs, the roads almost always turn to parking lots.
Even around here, a small car wreck or even rush hour on the highway turns them into an unbearable parking lot. We are all expecting the same will be the case for a disaster.

Several years ago, perhaps 17 or 18, we had a terrific windstorm that hit L.A. County. The area around my home was without electricity for 3 days. The local 7-11 had no electricity for about 36 hours until they could bring in a large generator. No electricity meant they were not selling any product for the first 12 hours, then they went on a cash basis, open only during daylight hours until they got the generator online. Imagine this same scenario on a much larger, perhaps most of the state magnitude. What do you think you will be buying in most any store?
1. Less mobile.
2. Wasting energy carrying unnecessary stuff.
3. Wasting time picking through your bag to find things to discard.
4. Wasting your resources on things you will never use.
In this thread there are lots of little backpacks that weigh around 10# give or take. Sure there's lots of crossover between items in a BoB or GHB, a container, lighter, IFAK, etc is just common sense.
Some people have multiple day trips to get home and/or small children which is an issue if they can't drive for whatever reason.
If someone isn't mobile with a 10# pack, that's a physical limitation issue due to another factor perhaps as simple as being grossly out of shape.

I'll comment here. This is my own personal opinion, YMMV.
For most people, the difference between "getting home" vs. "bugging out" boils down to two factors - destination and duration.
A GHB is intended to get you by for a short period of time where you may not have access to usual infrastructure support or transportation, but you have a known destination (your home) and ideally a short trip between you and home (commonly a few hours or 1-3 days max).
A BOB is when you are leaving wherever it is you start from, and are looking to get to some unknown destination where things are hopefully better or more conducive to your health and welfare. Since you may not know where that place is, you may have no idea how long it will take you to get there... and in fact, you may NEVER get there in the sense that you may have to lead a migratory/nomadic existence for a while.
Because of that crucial distinction, a GHB does not need the depth and comprehensiveness of a BOB. Because it assumes you will have the bulk of what you need at home (to weather an extended situation) it can afford to be light and fast. You won't need a tent or a very involved medical kit. You will not need pots and pans, sleeping bag, etc. With a pack that anticipates you may be on the go over a period ranging from days to weeks or perhaps multiple months, you're not going to be able to get by - or at least, you will have a very rough go of things if you are without a lot of stuff that just wouldn't be justifiable for a GHB in terms of weight and bulk.
Here's an example. Let's say the individual (let's call him Joe) works in a city that is a 90 minute commute from his home (on a good traffic day). For whatever reason, one day while Joe is at work, something happens. This something has two effects - it makes it untenable for Joe to stay in the city, and it denies Joe the use of his usual transport mechanism for getting home. This may be an earthquake, a terrorist action, a grid collapse or other such scenario. A lot of people were in this situation on 9-11 and had to find a means of getting home during a chaotic situation when many of the usual resources (subway) were not operational and others (cab, bus etc) were either shut down or taxed to the limit. So Joe needs to get himself home. This may take him a few hours (if he is able to get somewhere that there is at least partial transportation support) or it may take him a couple of days to make that long hike home. Hopefully, Joe will be able to find a way to get out of the worst of the weather, catching a few hours of nod-off sleep under an overpass or huddled in a doorway, if he is not able to obtain better accommodations. If the weather is good for a few days, Joe will probably be just fine - obviously, the more days he is en route, the odds increase that the weather will turn cold or rainy, making his journey much more unpleasant and possibly life-threatening. For a short trip, dedicated rain gear, tent, saw for firewood, etc can be omitted with a high chance of success. On a longer trip, one would omit these at great personal peril.
Those are just some quick examples and possibly not the best ones - but there is a distinction between a GHB and a BOB. They are not the same... the crucial distinction being that in a GH situation a destination is known where one will be welcomed and support (supplies, food, shelter) will be abundant, and the time needed to reach that destination is reasonably short in duration. Those are not necessarily true of the BO situation, where one will have to carry ALL of what they would foreseeably need for the unknown duration of the event. That translates to, a much larger pack with a much more complete compliment of necessities, IMHO.
Some packs are modular - think MOLLE or similar with detachable pouches, pockets etc... that makes for a pack that can go from BOB to GHB with a simple detaching of a few outer modules containing the gear not needed for a GH scenario. This kind of pack is very versatile and if it is well-thought out (specifically in the packing of BO supplies in the detachable modlules) it can convert very quickly from one purpose to the other. For instance, the outer module would contain the camping water pump/filter, the core module would contain a lightweight "survival straw" which are typically rated good for up to 20 gallons. 20 gallons should be more than enough to get you home even if you have to drink out of a mud puddle from a busted fire hydrant. But twenty gallons isn't CLOSE to enough if you may be on the road for more than a couple of days. The swiss army knife goes in the core module... the Ka-Bar or Gerber goes in the outer module. Multi-tool in the core, hatchet and entrenchment tool in the OM. Trash bag in the core, rain poncho in the OM. Zippered fleece hoodie and extra warm socks in the core, wool blanket or sleeping bag in the OM.
Also I think it's safe to say that in most cases, a GHB anticipates that one will essentially be traveling solo, whereas I think it would be less common for someone to BO solo. For instance, a working husband/father would be coming home from work solo. But if the decision is made to bug out once dad arrives at home, the family will leave together. Mom, Dad and 16 year old Junior will all carry packs with their own personal gear, plus they will have distributed among them the things that make a bug out existence bearable (such as tent, cookware etc) as well as distributing the gear needed for little sis and baby who are too young to carry a heavy pack. So the GHB should contain everything the individual would need, but a very small quantity. While the BOB does not need to be "everything" because others in the group will be carrying some of the shared gear too- for instance, the group of 5 people does not need five camping water pump/filter units - one or two will do just fine.
The one thing worse than defeat is surrender.

@Bruss01, I agree with your assessment completely.
I was asking Madoka b/c he's posted in this thread a decent amount criticizing the people showing their GHB bags.
Some simple differences between my GHB and BoB are:
BoB has hammock tent, sleeping bag, stove, cookware, 3L water bladder, extra clothing, more extensive IFAK, wood cutting supplies, food, water purification pump, etc.
Also my bob is around 33# and a large pack, not inconspicuous at all.
My GHB looks kinda like a school backpack and about 1/3 the weight.
Now granted, I do have a sleeping bag under my seat in the truck in case I needed to or ever wanted to camp out in the truck.
WTB: multiautomatic ghost gun with a .30-caliber clip to disperse with 30 bullets within half a second. Must include shoulder thing that goes up.
So, I've thought about when I would be caught away from home: I'd either be at work or shopping. If I'm at work, I'll be 20 miles away. If I'm shopping, I'll likely be 10 miles away or less. In either case, food is not necessary. Heaven forbid I arrive home hungry, but 7 hours without food won't kill me. Plus at my work there is plenty of food and if I'm out shopping there's likely a source of food nearby. I feel the same about water, but I do have some more reservations about that.
But as requested, here's the contents of mine:
First I have a pair of running shoes and socks. From where I work or shop to home, it's all asphalt.
In a plastic bag, I have my weather related items, which I can leave behind if it's sunny out.:
- poncho/rain jacket
- small umbrella
- headlamp
In a Condor Pocket Gear Pouch, like this:
I have:
- first aid items
- two glow sticks
- solar blanket
- Fenix flashlight with spare battery
- maps
- compass
- two dust masks
- small Swiss Army knife
- two hand warmers
- nitrile gloves
- pen
- handwipes
I've thought about adding the following because they are lightweight and sound useful, but haven't figured out when I would ever realistically use them:
- box of Strike Anywhere matches
- multi-tool
The Condor Pouch is about 2 pounds and is probably all I'd ever need. Plus, as you can see, there's very little in there that will be affected by heat or time, so i don't have to worry about leaving it in the car for years. Since it's so compact, I won't draw any undue attention to myself like walking around with a loaded hiking backpack through disaster areas. But most importantly, it allows me to be as mobile as possible which will let me get home faster.
Madoka, I like your setup. To each his/her own.
Personally I just carry a good bit more including a container and some other things I use on a daily or weekly basis.
Yes, fishing kits and such are overkill for GHB. But I still can't figure out why, based on other bags posted on this thread, you are so negative about the posts. Some of them are pretty good.
A 10 pound backpack isn't heavy, at least by my standards and I'm a small female.
edit: I looked back over the kits listed here adn didn't see any fishing kits in anyone's bag who posted a list.

Allot of interesting bags. I've just started working on my GHB, here are some of my thoughts. I live 27 miles from work (road miles) in the foothills - most of which are past the edge of town. So a good days walk will get me home. I bring my lunch to work everyday, so if the SHTF in the AM or PM I'll have one good meal to start the trip. Also, my parents house is ~2 miles (or less) from work, so I can get there rather quickly. I can grab a quick bite to eat and if it's late I can spend the night and start the hike in the morning. My plan is to pack as little as possible, mostly water. As with everyone else, plan A is to drive as far as possible.

LONG BEACH >> They aren't painted.
Instead, zebras developed stripes to keep biting flies away, according to Theodore Stankowich, an assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Cal State Long Beach, and colleagues at UC Davis.
The researchers discussed the mystery of zebra stripes in an April article for the online journal "Nature Communications."
"We think that stripes disrupt (the flies') ability to see the outline of the animal," Stankowich said by phone while traveling. "It's not clear how the stripes do that. They seem to not land on striped items as much."
Stankowich worked with Tim Caro, Amanda Izzo, Hannah Walker and Robert C. Reiner Jr. of UC Davis, and 2013 CSULB graduate Rikesh Patel illustrated the Equid family tree.
The researchers conducted an analytical study of existing data, looking at differences in zebra stripe patterns, and checked the findings against variables including terrain, temperature, predator range and biting fly distribution.
They found that the presence or absence of the tabanid fly was heavily influenced by zebra striping. A secondary finding was that rump stripes correlated with the presence of hyenas, suggesting that zebras can defend themselves well against hyenas, but not lions, Stankowich said.
"There's some indication that there may be some sort of warning effect against hyenas, but it's tenuous at best," he said.
Stankowich said there are differences in zebra stripes, with each having its own pattern. Some have thin stripes on their bodies, while others might have light brown stripes, or "shadow stripes" between their regular ones.
Stankowich, a Whittier native, lives in Long Beach. He earned his bachelor's degree in biological sciences from Cornell University in 2000 before earning his master's degree and doctorate in animal behavior from UC Davis.

Dima* and her sister invite us into their house. It is newly built and smells strongly of fresh paint, they have no furniture, only some thin mattresses on the floor. It is draughty and cold inside; the single pane windows do not provide sufficient insolation against the cold winter. Their five children, ranging in age from two to nine years, are excited by the food parcels and blankets we are carrying.
"We live here together, and pay 200 US dollars a month for two rooms and a kitchen. It's the cheapest place we could find; in the nearby town where we stayed for two months, we were paying 300 US dollars for just one room. We couldn't afford it", said Dima.
They come from Qaboun, one of the outlying suburbs of Damascus that has been severely damaged during the last few months. Over the summer they fled Qaboun, first to Damascus and finally to Lebanon.
"It wasn't easy coming here, leaving Qaboun was difficult. But they were destroying everything, so we had to leave. We left with just our suitcases and took a taxi to Damascus. But we didn't feel safe there either".
Every day their two husbands go out to find work, usually casual labour, which is rarely guaranteed due to the high number of Syrians and Lebanese vying for the same jobs. Between Dima and her sister, they take care of five children – four girls and one boy.
Inaccessibility to education. "I want them to go to school, but it's so far away. I can't afford the cost of transport. It's also difficult because here they speak French or English at school. My children won't understand anything", explained Dima's sister.
A critical problem facing Syrian children in Lebanon is that the education system uses French or English as the language of instruction, with Arabic only reserved for language courses and sometimes history lessons. Conversely, in Syria the education system is entirely in Arabic.
A rapid needs assessment carried out in late 2012 by the UN children's fund in Lebanon (UNICEF) and Save the Children also cited language barriers as the principal obstacle for Syrians in Lebanon. The report found that most Syrians would like their children to learn either French or English as they see it as a "chance for upward mobility".
"I used to get top grades in class in Homs – I'm not stupid. But now, I cannot understand anything in class. I don't speak French, and everything, except for history, is in French. I still keep going to school though, I will learn French eventually", explained 16-year old, Hamoudi.
In addition, the Lebanese education system is unable to cope with the influx of Syrians across the border. More than 160,000 Syrians are officially registered with the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) in Lebanon and a further 71,358 are awaiting registration. This number is increasing rapidly as up to 3,000 Syrians are crossing the borders daily to Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan and Iraq.
Yet it is estimated that the actual number is significantly higher, as many Syrians do not register due to fear and a lack of understanding of the benefits of registering with UNHCR.
Reaching out to the most vulnerable. JRS Lebanon is currently assessing the needs of Syrians in very remote border areas in the Bekaa Valley, where small villages host up to 60 Syrian families who do not receive any support from local or international organisations.
"In Kafar Zabad we found up to five families living in one small house. No one is helping them there; this village is very small and also very poor. The local community can barely offer them anything. And it's so remote, that no one else [other NGOs] knows there are even Syrian families living there", explained JRS Lebanon staff member, Shadi.
Shadi, himself a Syrian who was displaced months ago, heard about these families through word of mouth – the fastest form of communication amongst displaced Syrian communities.
Despite poverty and a lack of resources, the local community has offered JRS the use of a community hall for educational purposes.
"It's a good facility, we would be able to partition it into smaller areas, and each area could be one classroom".
Until the needs assessment is completed, there will not be a final decision as to which curriculum JRS Lebanon will use – Syrian or Lebanese. If the Lebanese curriculum is used, teams will need to organise remedial classes in English and French to enable the children to enrol in the Lebanese system in the future.
"The crucial thing is we get the children back into a schooling system. Some of these children have missed out on more than a year of school already. Going to school also restores a sense of normality for them and is an important step in helping to cope with trauma", said a JRS staff member.
The JRS presence is Lebanon is the most recent in the region. After needs assessments were carried out in late 2012, the office was opened in mid-November. Currently activities are operational in remote areas of the Bekaa valley and in Beirut. Up to 350 families receive direct support from JRS Lebanon, with a plan to expand services throughout 2013.

The Bitter End?
John Rhadigan, FOX Sports Southwest
Several Cowboys fans have already approached me with the statement, "This is not how it was supposed to end." I beg to differ. This is how it was "supposed to end." You see the best team won on Sunday in Minnesota. The Cowboys were the hottest team in the playoffs, the Vikings might be the best. There is no shame in losing to a better team.
This is nothing like the finale to the season a year ago when the Cowboys were embarrassed 44-6 by the Eagles. This might be equally as disappointing but that is where the similarity ends. The Cowboys took a huge step this year. A year ago this week we all chuckled as Wade Phillips said that he would be a different guy this year, that he would hold his players accountable and change the culture of the Cowboys locker room. Guess what? He did all of those things. Wade the defensive coordinator got the defense playing like they haven't in 15 years. Wade the head coach got the players to like each other and to pull in the same direction. Wade the talent evaluator encouraged the acquisition of three players (Brooking, Olshansky and Sensabaugh) without whom this season would not have been possible. Give Wade credit because Jerry will give Wade a contract.
Ironically the Cowboys popularity and visibility may have worked against them this week. Back on December 19th the Cowboys started rolling with a Saturday night win in New Orleans. They became the popular pick to win the NFC. Plenty of pundits thought the Cowboys would be this year's version of the Cardinals from last year or the Giants from two years ago. Each of those two clubs got hot at the right time, each made it the Super Bowl and the Giants even won. The Vikings were asked time and time again if they could beat the vaunted Cowboys, the hottest team in the NFC. It made them mad and yes it motivated the Vikings. Brad Childress said as much during his post game press conference.
The Cowboys will spend the off season trying to improve, the first order of business should be to find a kicker. The must also sign several of their own free agents, first and foremost Miles Austin. The first year of the Cowboys new stadium in Arlington was the most successful season since 1996. The second year in Jerry world could conclude with the Cowboys becoming the first team ever to play in a Super Bowl on it's home field.

Here's something we don't see very often on TV -- a comedian bursting into tears on television! But that's what happened in a special birthday episode of the Steve Harvey Show. A man named Rich Liss in Orlando, Florida called Harvey via satellite to ask him one question: "Do you still love me baby?"
What the hell? Who is this mysterious man, and why is he asking Harvey if he still loves him? It sounds like the set-up to a prank, but then you see Harvey's reaction. He's stunned at first, and then Steve Havey breaks down in tears. "Yeah man, I still love you." So what's the story? The answer may make you cry, too.
Harvey leaves us dangling in suspense for a few seconds before he explains. Rich Liss and his wife, Becky, were early supporters of Harvey back when he was a struggling young man with nothing in Cleveland, Ohio. Without the faith and financial backing of this couple, Steve Harvey probably would not be standing in front of a live audience on his own show.
I was 26 years old, struggling. I didn't have nothing and these people owned a furniture store in Cleveland. They took me in and gave me a contract with my little carpet cleaning company. When I became a comedian at 27, I didn't have money to travel. They gave me an account at their travel agency and I ran up a bill that was $11,000 just traveling and trying to make it. Those people right there, they helped me out!
Wow -- Rich and Becky must have seen the talent and drive in Harvey all those years ago. But even before Harvey became a comedian, they must have seen something else in him that made them want to help him out, just as a fellow human being with potential. They're small business owners and must have been doing well enough to pay for his travel expenses, but not so wealthy that it wouldn't still be a risky investment for them.
It's so inspiring to see the love and faith behind a success story, isn't it? Imagine if more people like Rich and Becky took those risks. It's people like them who change lives -- and it's not just Steve Havey's life. The Liss' encouragement has had a ripple effect in the world extending beyond Harvey's career. It's sweetly gratifying to see Steve's immense gratitude to them, and to see them share in his success.
Are there people in your life who believed in you and have helped you pursue your dream?

Fire Wars Forest Jihad in America (True?)
alh1020: There is a very sobering 8 minute film clip below, as well as the link to this article, of a briefing on Capital Hill given by Mr William Scott, a fellow of the American Center of Democracy (ACD) & Economic Warfare (EWI), an organization dedicated to exposing and monitoring threats to national security of the US.
American focus on the NSA leaks diverts attention from real existential threats and economic devastation that for now affects mostly the West.
The fire raging in Colorado Springs forced William (Bill) Scott and his wife Linda to evacuate their home. Last we spoke, Bill didnt know if theyll have a home to return to.
As of Saturday afternoon, June 15, the apparent arson that set Colorados Black Forest on fire last Tuesday killed at least two people and destroyed and damaged more than 388 homes. The fire that burned 15,500 acres led to the evacuation of 38,000 people. The six-hour delay of federal air tankers to help extinguish the fast spreading fire didnt help. All the while, local law enforcement and firefighters have been collecting whatever evidence they can find to identify the arsonist(s).
Bill Scott, a senior fellow at ACD, warned about such a scenario last July, speaking at the ACD/EWI Economic Threats briefing on Capital Hill. An expert on aerial firefighting, he presented a sobering analysis of the devastating Waldo Canyon Fire, pointing out that the striking rise Western U.S. wildfires may be caused by elements other than nature.
He noted that in spring 2012, al-Qaedas English-language online magazine, Inspire, published an article called It Is of Your Freedom to Ignite a Firebomb, which featured instructions on how to build an incendiary bomb to light forests on fire.
A few months later, Russias security (FSB) chief, Aleksandr Bortnikov warned, al-Qaeda was complicit in recent forest fires in Europe as part of the terrorists strategy of a thousand cuts.
Bortnikov spoke of extremist sites [that] contained detailed instructions of waging the forest jihad and stressed that such a method had proved itself effective as it inflicted both physical and moral damage, needed little training or investment and it was extremely hard for police to find and apprehend the arsonists.
Since then, more fatwas advocating that Fire is cheap, easy and effective tool for economic warfare have been issued. Theyve included detailed instructions for constructing remote-controlled ember bombs, and how to set fires without leaving a trace.
Fire wars are not limited to Europe and the U.S. Palestinan jihadists have been setting fire to Israels modest forests for many years. However, political correctness seems to override Israeli and Russian warnings of that jihadist modus operandi. How many Tzarnaevs are hiding in Colorados woods?
While many of the fires that have scorched millions of acres and destroyed thousands of homes in Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and other states have been identified as arson, none have been publicly attributed to criminal or terrorist groups, despite the presence of Mexican gangs and large number of other illegals in our Western states
Bill Scotts Fire Wars presentation on YouTube led several Colorado legislators to propose a bill to allow the formation of Colorados Firefighting Air Corps. In military terms, Colorado is a target-rich environment an arsonists dream-come-true, and the U.S. Forest Services worst nightmare, Scott said while giving a riveting testimony before the state Senate a few months ago. He went on to say that Colorado wildfires took six lives, destroyed 647 homes and consumed $48 million in fire suppression costs. And we are one match or lightning strike away from a disaster that will make 2012 look like a GOOD year.
Consider this scenario: A hot day with humidity levels below 10 percent. High winds, blowing into a dead-end valley, toward a picture-perfect town on the shore of a large mountain lake. Also watching the weather, an Islamic jihadist decides, Todays the day. He takes off in a rented Cessna 172 and flies across the mouth of that valley, pitching lighted road flares from the airplane. In a matter of minutes, a wall of fire with flames topping 200 feet roars up that valley, trapping hundreds of tourists and citizens.
The local U.S. Forest Service district ranger issues a top-priority emergency call for fire-fighting air tankers, noting that lives and property are in imminent danger. A harried federal dispatcher responds with this chilling truth: Were out of air resources. Were fighting fires all over the nation, and all federal assets are committed. You folks are on your own.
Within hours, the small Colorado town burns to the ground and hundreds of trapped people die horrific deaths. After-action reviews conclude that the deadly fire was ignited by an al Qaeda terrorist who was never caught and all fatalities were attributable to insufficient firefighting resources. If large air tankers had been deployed in a timely manner, a protective corridor through the conflagration could have been created, providing an escape route.
Some will scoff and dismiss that scenario as mere fiction, noting that Colorado has never suffered such a disastrous fire. True, but were in a new era, facing a perfect storm of unprecedented elements: Drought; tinder-dry beetle-kill trees blanketing millions of acres; a real-and-present terrorist threat; and a cash-strapped, dysfunctional federal land-management agency that has less than a dozen large air tankers to serve the entire nation.
Indeed, a state firefighting airforce would make Colorado independent of the cash-strapped, dysfunctional federal land-management agency, reducing the response time from six hours to 20 minutes. Colorados Senate Bill 245 was reluctantly approved last April by the Democratic majority; however, it refused to allocate the funds necessary to buy the air tankers. It was signed into law last week by Colorados Governor John Hickenlooper.
Ironically, Bill and his wife had to evacuate exactly one week after the unfunded bill was signed into law, and the worst fire in Colorado history was raging, endangering the states citizens, its forests and economy.
In California alone, during the first two weeks of June, wild land fires have already surpassed the total cost of the last two years of firefighting in rural areas.
Most U.S. state economies seem to be rebounding this year. However, recovery from anticipated natural disasters could easily deplete their treasuries. There is little that can be done to prevent hurricane destruction. However, states, as well as the federal government, could and should more to do to minimize the effects of man-made forest fires.

Fire officials discovered the source
of the fire but are still searching
for what caused it
Photo by Christian Knight
Odell Chief Greg Borton wanted sprinklers
on the burn site to keep it cool.
By RAELYNN RICARTE
News staff writer
July 20, 2005
Odell firefighters braved the summer heat on Sunday afternoon but were unable to stop an aged storage building from burning to the ground.
"I believe there were some definite accelerants inside the building to make it burn so hot and fast," said Fire Chief Greg Borton.
The blaze at 3754 Central Vale Road was reported shortly before 5 p.m. by Sheriff Deputy Chris Guertin. He had been patrolling the area when he noticed that smoke was pouring from the 30-by-30-foot structure. By the time that he could call for help — and the few minutes it took for the first engine to arrive — the building was fully engulfed in flames.
Borton said the unoccupied shed was between 70-80 years old and packed with flammables and old appliances. Although his crew, joined by Pine Grove and West Side fire departments, battled for more than one hour they were unable to prevent its destruction. Borton was told by Ricky Parker, the owner, that the building was uninsured because of its age.
"It was real dry wood so when the fire started it burned extremely fast," Borton said.
With the outside temperature at more than 90 degrees, Borton made sure his firefighters drank plenty of fluids while they worked to keep the flames contained. At the end of the day, only the metal roof and the singed remains of a few appliances remained.
Borton and Jim Trammell, West Side Fire Marshall, looked over the charred ruins on Monday morning. They determined that the fire had started in the southwestern corner of the building but were unable to locate an ignition source.

Many of the children at Fort Leavenworth had not been born at the time of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, or they are too young to remember that day.
Many of the children at Fort Leavenworth had not been born at the time of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, or they are too young to remember that day.
"But this is a day you should learn about and never forget," Col. Timothy Wulff told students from the Fort Leavenworth public schools.
Wulff, the fort's garrison commander, spoke Wednesday during a Freedom Walk ceremony at the post's Normandy Field.
Students had walked to the football field from the fort's three elementary schools and junior high school. Superintendent Keith Mispagel said about 1,900 students and 250 school staff members had assembled for the event. He estimated that between 500 and 750 parents and other patrons also were in attendance.
Wednesday was the 12th anniversary of the terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon.
"If you ask your parents, they will surely remember that day in detail," Wulff said to the assembled students. "They will remember where they were at and what they were doing the morning of Sept. 11, 2001."
He said the country was attacked by "terrorists who hoped to weaken us and threaten our way of life."
Wulff said the terrorists failed. He said Americans recovered from the attacks and became stronger.
"We have successfully defended our freedoms and the way we live," he said.
Wednesday's event was the Fort Leavenworth school district's sixth annual Freedom Walk.
"Freedom Walks were started in 2005 by Pentagon employees to honor the lives of those lost on Sept. 11, 2011," Mispagel said.
He said the walks have become a way to renew the participants' commitment to freedom and honor the people who help Americans maintain their freedom.
For Wednesday's ceremony, students from each of the district's schools read essays about what freedom means to them.
Jesena Hernandez from MacArthur Elementary School questioned how she can write about freedom when she's had it all her life.
"We tend to take for granted the freedom and liberties we enjoy every day," she said.
Sarah McMartin from Bradley Elementary School said many Americans use their freedoms without realizing how valuable they are.
Kate Bircher from Eisenhower Elementary School said she was born 10 days after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. She said she's never known the country when it wasn't at war.
She said the Constitution provides the freedoms Americans have today. But she said freedom means more than what's written in the Constitution. She said one of the things freedom means is being able to grow up to be whatever a person wants.
Lawson Smead from Patton Junior High School said freedom means different things to different people. Smead, who talked about some of the liberties outlined in the Bill of Rights, said freedom undoubtably was a founding principle of the country.
During his remarks, Wulff said there are many things that make Americans strong but he focused on two reasons.
The first reason he cited ― the Fort Leavenworth children's parents.
"They have fought in the war against terrorists or they have supported the war effort from here," he said.
Wulff said many of the children's parents joined the military because of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
And the second reason he cited ― the children's teachers.
"Teachers make us all smart which makes the United States smart," he said.

Arizona State Parks "Plein Air"
Paintings Exhibited January 2008
Arizona State Parks' 50th Anniversary celebration may be best remembered by
the variety of paintings it inspired from artists all across the Grand Canyon
State. "Paint-out" events, which challenged artists to complete
a finished work in one day throughout 2007, celebrated the red rocks of Sedona,
the placid waters of Patagonia Lake, the magnificent timbers of Riordan Mansion...
and the lovely gardens here at Boyce Thompson Arboretum.
Editor's Note Join us August 14, 2011, for an informal plein air painters' gathering from 7:00 to 11:00 a.m.
Visitors to the Arboretum during January, 2008, saw the impressive variety of paintings as Arizona State Parks exhibited award-winning works from the statewide plein air series. On January 5 nearly two dozen artists participated in the afternoon "paint-out" here at the Arboretum, including (from top-to-bottom on this page) Gold Canyon painters Burdell Moody and Hank Reynolds; Mary Anne Verell-Sedillo (shown painting the Drover's Shed); Susan Strom, Lexia Gibson, Jasmine Nahorniak, Barbara Donahue and Cassandra James. For details about future "paint-out" events during 2008 at other state parks, email coordinator Mary Alice Daenzer or call her at 602-542-7119.
Tempe artist Cindy Carrillo arranged the current exhibition, after making it her personal mission during 2007 to attend most of the plein air events around the state. Her continuing goal is to paint a scene from all 27 state parks before the 50th anniversary celebration is over. Listen to an interview with Cindy Carrillo.
"As an oil painter, the contrast of those green cottonwood trees against the deep reds and oranges of the volcanic cliffs up above was a challenge for me at the Arboretum. And then, at Dead Horse Ranch State Park, it was the deep purple of Mingus Mountain in the distance and delicate bare trees in front -- I have several large paintings done from that scene. The Arboretum provides so many choices it is hard to choose a spot to paint! My completed piece in this show was painted from a viewpoint looking west from the Demonstration Garden...and I would guess I have completed about 15 pieces this year which were painted on location at various state parks. With the tremendous variety of scenery the parks have to offer, I don't think I will run out of subject matter."
"And you meet so many amazing artists! At Red Rock State Park one man had been traveling through Arizona on his way to a big art event and heard about our gatherings celebrating the State Parks' 50th Anniversary....he is now putting next year's Arizona paint-outs on his calendar so he can visit again. How cool is that?" said Carrillo.
"Plein air" is a French term which means painting in person, right in front of your subject, as opposed to an artist working in a studio or from a photograph. Plein air painters prefer to get it down live, exactly the way the sunlight is that day, on the spot -- that's plein air painting! And a paint-out is typically just an organized event where you're inviting artists to come in and work within a timeline, starting with blank canvases, then gathering later to see each other's artwork," said Carrillo.
Arizona State Parks Education Outreach Coordinator, Mary Alice Daenzer, spearheaded the statewide plein air painting in the parks series. In 2006, Daenzer, Karen Farias, Cindy Carrillo, Mesa Art League President CJ Rider, and painter Barbara Burton brainstormed art-related events to celebrate the State Parks Anniversary.
"We hoped to attract new guests into the park as well as the usual folks who visit. With these painting events, you get artists from all over Arizona -- even other states -- and other visitors come simply to watch the painters. We also hope the paintings completed this year will continue to inspire viewers who see the art to visit those particular state parks," said Carrillo.
"Here's something else which the series initiated: a new statewide organization: the Arizona Plein Air Painters and one of the biggest parts of their mission statement is raising awareness of open lands, the land still in existence that we still have. Land that doesn't have model homes on it; maybe awareness can help preserve this. One of the rules the group is really adamant about is to go in, do your painting, and then leave without any sign you were there. Most painters bring along trash bags and pick up anything they find on the ground."
"It has been so rewarding to see all the different painting groups paint together. Our styles might be diverse and in a variety of mediums, but all having the same vision and love of our natural world. Two artists may be together painting the same scene, yet each work is unique. It really opens my eyes to a scene to see it another way, through another artist's eyes."
"Arizona Plein Air Painters was formed to unite artists from all corners of the state. The group provides educational opportunities for artists and encourages artists to give back to their communities. The group is actively working with Arizona State Parks, the National Park Service, and the Nature Conservancy to use the arts to raise appreciation of our natural beauty in Arizona," said Carrillo.
Founding members have announced a February exhibit at the Sedona Art Center, and will schedule numerous shows and painting opportunities for members throughout 2008. Eleven plein air events are scheduled for 2008 at various Arizona State Parks.
Boyce Thompson Arboretum is located at Highway 60 milepost #223, just three miles west of the town of Superior - a drive of about one hour east of Phoenix or two hours from Tucson (take Oracle Road North to Highway 79 past Florence to Highway 60, then East for another 12 miles). Monthly exhibits may be seen in our Visitor Center gallery daily from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (summer hours 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. from May-through-August). The Arboretum is an Arizona State Park and daily admission must be paid to enter the Visitor Center where the gallery is found. Admission is $7.50 for adults and $3 for ages 5-12. Annual memberships at the Arboretum begin at $45, and include a year's access, guest passes for your friends and family, along with many other benefits. A membership may be purchased in the gift shop on the day of your visit.

Deactivate, uninstall, run Clean Script several times, rebooting between runs, install, activate and update.
2. Re: missing sequence presets or codecZac Lam Jun 18, 2012 8:05 AM (in response to flounder house)
Is the application still activated? If you start a new project, then go to the Help menu, do you see a Deactivate menu item? Or does the menu item allow to activate the application again?

I reinstalled Windows and installed PrePro CS6 again and it was still missing presets.

Did you run Clean Script several times?

Did you try pressing and hold the shift key while launching Premiere Pro?

No, because it was a clean install on a clean OS. there were no remnants of anything Adobe on the install

Do you have the physical install disks, or did you use a download version? In the latter case, I would try a new download. Maybe the download you have is corrupted.

In the New Sequence dialog, if you go to the "Settings" tab is "Custom" an available choice at the top of the list of editing modes? If yes, what choices are available in the "Preview File Format" popup? I suspect that I-Frame Only MPEG is absent.
10. Re: missing sequence presets or codeceday_2010 Jun 20, 2012 6:11 PM (in response to Jesse Zibble)
There isn't much under custom. I didn't see I-Frame Only MPEG, but what I did notice right away was the absence of all the AVCHD presets, which is what I had previously used.
11. Re: missing sequence presets or codecDavid_V_Clarke Jun 21, 2012 4:48 AM (in response to eday_2010)
I had this and spent ages trying to sort it out. What solved it was going into Adobe Encore where it suddenly popped up demanding a serial number. I hae already done this when I installed my software (in may case the master collection) and had previously used Encore. I was getting no other information telling me there was a problem with activation etc.. However I entered my serial number again, got into Encore, and when I went back to Premiere I had all the presets. I fiddle a lot with my computers so I just assumed I had done something which messed it up in some way. Try opening Encore and see what happens. Unfortunately this is no help if you are running the trial version since you won't be able to open Encore.
12. Re: missing sequence presets or codecRussell450F Jul 9, 2012 6:27 PM (in response to David_V_Clarke)
I have an international show that needs to ship out in a couple of days. Worked till 1.30am then arose to find this not so pleaseant surprise that Premier couldn't see / understand my RED .R3D sequence all of a sudden. Spent the entire day on this. I uninstalled, used cleaner & re-installed countless times. Finally uninstalled everything via Adobe cleaner, went through and deleted other adobe folders that I found. I downloaded & Installed a fresh stand alone version of Premier 6 & all of the normal slew of sequences settings were back. Then I went & seperately installed AE, Photoshop & Audition from the Master Suite. Did Not install Encore or anything else & I'm now back up & running with some new grey hair... Frustrating. I hope this infor perhaps helps someone in the same bind... Good luck!
13. Re: missing sequence presets or codecFluxcrou Jul 10, 2012 2:22 AM (in response to flounder house)
Ugh, I had a problem importing AC3 audio that held me back from working on my already late project, and now I have this exact same problem out of the blue!
I cannot access animations I have saved in a project. I need to copy the animations into a project that is thankfully operational, but the dreaded error message appears whenI try to open it. Several other project files I have saved will not open either.
My sequence presets list is bare, exactly like the OP's screenshot. But, I can see the full compliment of sequence presets is still at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS6\Settings\SequencePresets. For some reason, only DV and Mobile&Devices presets show in Premiere.
I have uninstalled the CS6 suite, ran the Adobe cleaner, reinstalled and updated. No effect, whatsoever. The sequence presets are still in the folder, but cannot be recognized.
I do not have Creative Cloud.
14. Re: missing sequence presets or codecbrowndoggin Aug 1, 2012 11:41 AM (in response to Fluxcrou)
I too am having this soul destroying message. I am running OS 10.6.8, no creative cloud and using CS6.00. I have now had it happen twice on projects all created using ProRes 422 files and had a reasonably complicated edit. all opens and closes fine and then just randomly wont open. Thought it would go away but hasn't. Has Adobe come up with a bug fix for this as its a pretty monumentally tragic fault. I have switched over form FCP and was stoked with CS6 until this. Luckily I had virtually finished both projects and could get around it with the draft mastered ProRes file.
I see no reply to Fluxcrou's last response so i wont get my hopes up.
My confidence in Adobe is at a low.
15. Re: missing sequence presets or codecTodd_Kopriva Aug 2, 2012 3:57 PM (in response to browndoggin)
The underlying problem here is with the activation and licensing system. Several codecs and the sequence presets that they rely on must be unlocked by the activation and licensing system. The problem is that sometimes the activation gets messed up in some way, and these codecs aren't unlocked.
For most people on this thread, the issue should be fixed by a new version of the activation system that was release in late June.
Try this to get your activation back into the right state:
1) Fully deactivate your software (Help > Deactivate).
2) Quite all Adobe applications.
3) Restart your computer.
4) Restart the application.
5) Choose Help > Activate to re-activate the software.
6) Create a new project.
7) Create a new sequence.
The above should restore all of your codecs and the sequence presets that depend on them, and you should be able to work normally with all of your codecs.
If not, write back, and we'll see if we can figure out what's up.
16. Re: missing sequence presets or codecgmizzle39s Aug 7, 2012 8:19 AM (in response to Todd_Kopriva)
I have downloaded the 6.0.1 Update for all of the CS6 applications and I stil get this problem. When opening Encore I get an error that says:
Adobe Encore CS6 cannot run in a non-royalty serialized mode. The application needs to be serialized with a royalty bearing serial number.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still get the same issue. We are government so I am not cnnected to the internet because of regulations. The deactivate option in Premiere Pro CS6 is greyed out and unavailable as well.
We purchased a volume license for 2 edit stations and both have this problem. We are on Windows 7 SP1 x64.
Sorry just wanted to give as much info as possible to help resolve this. I literally can't do any work until this is resolved!
17. Re: missing sequence presets or codecJohn T Smith Aug 7, 2012 8:28 AM (in response to gmizzle39s)
As far as I know, you must be connected to the internet for registration/activation to complete
Since this is a user to user forum, not Adobe support, I think you are going to have to contact Adobe on this one... unless someone comes along with information on how to make Encore work without internet to complete registration/activation
18. Re: missing sequence presets or codecTodd_Kopriva Aug 7, 2012 10:01 AM (in response to John T Smith)
There is an offline activation option. You don't need to be connected to the Internet. There is more information about offline activation here:
For issues with activation, this forum is very useful:
19. Re: missing sequence presets or codeclorraineyoga Aug 10, 2012 10:29 AM (in response to Todd_Kopriva)
Thank you for recognizing that the problem is with the activation and licensing system. I have called Adobe technical support many times about this issue--the latest being twice today--and it is still not resolved.
I have a new Windows 7 computer on which I installed the disk version of CS6 and the disk version of Captivate 5.5. I mention this because I had Media Encoder 5.5 and 6 (5.5 I think may have installed with the Captivate), but otherwise I have no older CS products on this computer.
If I enter my serial number when the trial window comes up (which it shouldn't), I can open my projects, but this is just a temporary fix until I close the program and the problem shows up again.
For my first call to Adobe today, the technician took over my computer and tried to update to version 6.0.1 (which was running anyway). It took about 3 attempts from her. She told me that my problem was solved and closed the case. Ten minutes later I tried to open a pdf file and saw the trial window again.
For my second call to Adobe, the technician assured me he had solved this problem 6 times by having customers reinstall CS6. He then told that there was an internal document which had the solution to the problem. He tried to tell me that my problem might be caused by incorrect information in my Adobe ID, such as birth date (my information is correct and has not changed). He told me that my problem would be fixed if I turned off my anti-virus software and then entered my serial number in the trial window. He also kept telling me not to trust forums and I kept telling him that the forums served as a way for Adobe to recognize that there is a problem.
I have reopened my case and requested an escalation to second level.
Update: I haven't heard anything further from Adobe. In the meantime I uninstalled Captivate 5.5 and tried to remove Media Encoder 5.5, I also used the Adobe Cleanup tool. Then I reinstalled Captivate 5.5 but declined to install Media Encoder 5.5 with it (I have Media Encoder 6 with CS6). I also uninstalled and reinstalled Premiere Pro and updated it. So far far I haven't encountered the dreaded Trial Version window again so I'm holding thumbs.
20. Re: missing sequence presets or codecTodd_Kopriva Aug 18, 2012 1:59 PM (in response to Todd_Kopriva)
If you're having problems with sequence presets and codecs missing from Premiere Pro, see this document for solutions for this activation issue:
This document relates to the following problems:
- missing sequence presets when creating a new sequence
- Encore error: "Encore will not launch in non-royalty bearing mode. The application needs to be serialized with a royalty bearing serial number."
- When opening a project in Premiere Pro: "Error Adobe Premiere Pro: This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
- When importing footage, the footage is missing audio or video.
These failures are all because Premiere Pro and Encore use some codecs that require activation before they can be used. If activation of these codecs has failed, these codecs will not be available to use.
21. Re: missing sequence presets or codecthizzzordie Oct 4, 2012 2:58 PM (in response to flounder house)
I have been trouble shooting this and I finally found something worked. (for the tl;dr go to Solution: Method 1)
Here are things I tried and observed
I opened up the Project within another project.
1. It wouldn't allow me to import the the full project because of the default problem of missing presets, but I could open single sequcences.
2. I eventually imported each sequence into the new project.
3. Unfortunately, after I closed the project, it wouldn't open again for the same previous problem.
4. I repeated step 2 and this time I created custom sequences. I created a dslr preset - 1920x1080, 23.973, progressive...
5. Using that preset I created a copy for all the seuqences.
6. I cut and pasted all the clips into the new sequence and deleted the old sequences.
7. This actually worked, and I can open the projects no problem.
But this is the most efficient and simple solution -
Solution: Method 1
Close Premiere Pro.
Open the project file in a text editor (e.g. Windows Wordpad) and replace all instances of "I-Frame Only MPEG" with "Microsoft AVI".
Relaunch Premiere Pro and test it.
Found Solution here - http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/premiere/pro/troubleshooter/sequence-could-not-be-opened .html
22. Re: missing sequence presets or codecJim_Simon Oct 4, 2012 3:03 PM (in response to thizzzordie)
Seems a lot easier to just fix the actual problem by using Adobe's solution.
23. Re: missing sequence presets or codecthizzzordie Oct 4, 2012 3:07 PM (in response to Jim_Simon)
It took me less than 1 minute to edit the project files in notepad... Sounds a lot faster than re-installing it
Note: My deactivation was greyed out, so I couldn't do that.
24. Re: missing sequence presets or codecJim_Simon Oct 4, 2012 3:09 PM (in response to thizzzordie)
Adobe's solution doesn't require a reinstall.
If Deactivate was grayed out, then all you had to do was reactivate.

Deactivition wasn't available
The alt + ctrl didn't work for me.
If you are referring to - http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/features-presets-missing-premiere-pro.html
I am activated, and I was not give any serial number/activation options
or Re-installing CS6 which I didn't have to do.
I'm not aware of any other adobe solutions, but if you have any please share.
26. Re: missing sequence presets or codecJim_Simon Oct 4, 2012 3:22 PM (in response to thizzzordie)
Sounds like something got really smurfed up with your installation beyond this issue.
Your fix might be the easy band-aid, but a reinstall might still be the better option in the long run.
27. Re: missing sequence presets or codecthizzzordie Oct 4, 2012 3:20 PM (in response to Jim_Simon)
Totally agree. I do miss my presets.
28. Re: missing sequence presets or codeclorraineyoga Oct 4, 2012 3:23 PM (in response to thizzzordie)
This is really a problem with Adobe's registration and activation system. Adobe needs to fix the bug so that our activation information is retained. We should not be having to resort to all these measures just to use software we have purchased, registered, and activated. I have tried all the "solutions," but none works permanently. They're all just temporary quick fixes. Please report the bug to Adobe.
29. Re: missing sequence presets or codecDan from Atlanta Oct 31, 2012 11:46 AM (in response to flounder house)
This is still an issue as of this morning. It's happened to me twice in one month for no apparent reason.
From what I'm reading, it's happening more often with the Creative Cloud.
Both times, I had to uninstall Premiere Pro, reinstall it, and install the latest updates.
During the failure, it renders existing projects, that worked minutes before, completely ununsable. And even after a reinstall, some video clips within a project will work, but some identical-type (AVCHD) clips stay "offline," and won't render.
Today's solution was a complete uninstall of all CS6 products, running the cleaner and rebooting twice, reinstalling, and updating. But then, Dreamweaver was missing a dll file until I installed and updated another CS6 applicaion.
Many hours later, everything's back to "normal," and my original Premiere Pro projects now function properly.
This is a very serious bug that shouild be addressed immediately, please!!
30. Re: missing sequence presets or codecxTLS Dec 1, 2012 6:48 PM (in response to Dan from Atlanta)
I felt pretty brilliant when I thought maybe I could edit the .prproj file in a text editor (Premiere Project files are actually just XML) and edit the sequence settings, tried it, and it actually worked. Then I found out other people had figured that out.
To repeat: in an emergency, where you can't or don't have time to reinstall Premiere repeatedly, you can manually edit the XML file and change all of the sequence settings to common codecs - it's actually pretty easy.
Found this link in another thread: http://schiho.com/2012/09/25/adobe-premiere-cs6-sequence-cannot-open/
31. Re: missing sequence presets or codec44r0n.5 Jan 7, 2013 8:50 AM (in response to xTLS)
My "preset missing" problem seems to be intermittant. I started Premire this morning, got the message that "one or more 3rd party items were missing and your sequences will be modified, or quit Premire and reinstall all 3rd party items", and when I looked at my sequence presets, they were mostly gone.
I found this page and started to follow the easiest of the Adobe directions "unregister and reregister", but when I re-started Premire to unregister, I didn't get the "3rd party items missing" message and all of my sequence presets were back.
I'm currently using the cloud subscription.
32. Re: missing sequence presets or codecHiddenpictures Ltd Feb 11, 2013 4:10 AM (in response to flounder house)
I am a Creative Cloud member and I am also getting the same hugely time-wasting nonsense error message: "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type". The solution seems to be to deactivate and the reactivate but it is not obvious WHERE that can be done - using the help menu - register, licence, license, deactivate produces no results - the Adobe answer is to use 'deactivate' - OK so WHERE is that on the menus - how do I get to that screen?
After wasting a lot more time I did get it to come up but not sure how. I reactivated and now it works again - but not sure for how long. I also don't know whether I am now running a trial version or not.
So in summary - very confusing, total waste of time, gives me a lack of confidence in the product - hello Avid
33. Re: missing sequence presets or codecJim_Simon Feb 11, 2013 10:04 AM (in response to Hiddenpictures Ltd)
the Adobe answer is to use 'deactivate' - OK so WHERE is that on the menus
34. Re: missing sequence presets or firstname.lastname@example.com May 27, 2013 2:43 PM (in response to flounder house)
I had the same problem, same message. Finally after reading through all these post it began to sound like an activation issue to me. Sure enough, it was. For some reason my folks forgot to talk to their folks and tell 'em I paid. . . or come sort of cyber equivalent. I just opened a new project and deactivated (under the HELP tab) which closed the program. I then restarted and all was good as new. Hope your fix is as easy.
35. Re: missing sequence presets or codecJeffRev63 Jul 19, 2013 9:49 AM (in response to Todd_Kopriva)
So what if you can't go "online" to activate? My system has this issuebut it is a standalone machine that is not allowed to hook to any network. I had to do a phone activation when I did my initial install but apparently that doesn't unlock all of the codecs I need because there are only a minimal number available when opening a new project. One critical one is for my Canon MXF files that can longer be opened for editing.
Any solution would be greatly appreciated by one of your "unplugged" customers.
36. Re: missing sequence presets or codeccapt_kilgore Jul 8, 2014 1:49 AM (in response to flounder house)
I can't be bothered being polite because this problem has happened far too many times. Fix the problem. Don't tell us we need to de-activated, re-download, re-install, or whatever. Once the software is installed and working it should stay that way.
You have enough mechanisms in place to staunch pirates as it is; this ******** "activation" of codecs is simply a kick in the shins for those of us who pay for the products. I'm sick of crossing my fingers when I open my projects hoping that the codecs haven't randomly disappeared.
Fix the problem.
37. Re: missing sequence presets or codecShadreck Rukweza Jul 8, 2014 11:32 AM (in response to capt_kilgore)
I still get that in CC and I think I might not renew my membership because I waste a lot of time about these missing codecs, especially, MTS files and HDV mpeg.
38. Re: missing sequence presets or codec247Visuals Feb 2, 2015 3:55 PM (in response to Todd_Kopriva)
All in all, it sucks that this problem still exists.
After trying the free trials of Adobe CC 2014 for a month, I purchased the Creative Cloud subscription today.
Then problems began. Adobe Premiere did not open the projects I worked on. It missed the proper sequence settings.
Reinstalled several times, used the cleaner tool....
Adobe, how happy I was to purchase this CC. How I curse now everytime Adobe Premiere opens after a reinstall without the proper sequence settings.
Still trying to reinstall to no avail.. This just sucks.
39. Re: missing sequence presets or codecShadreck Rukweza Feb 2, 2015 4:18 PM (in response to 247Visuals)
This problem have existed for years and continues to exist right now. I edit lots of HDV sequences and I get this very often like once in a fortnight or weekly at times. I will have to sign out and sign back in at times after signing in all the softwares will appear as trial hence I pay every month in this world. Shame on adobe-software! Some Adobe remote technicians pointed that the activation might be bloced by Antivirus softwares. But that being said I remember that the Creative Cloud will only need to check activation once every 90 days or less I don't know. I think it does check activation on a daily bases or every time you launch it.

Last week: ETSU used a team effort to cruise past Milligan, 94-46, last Thursday evening inside the MSHA Athletic Center. Seven different players reached the scoring column with red-shirt freshman Lester Wilson (Knoxville, Tenn.) leading the way with a career-high 27-point effort, while John Walton (Memphis, Tenn.), Rashawn Rembert (Tampa, Fla.) and Mario Stramaglia (Birmingham, Ala.) also scored in double figures. Walton (15 points), Rembert (16 points) and Stramaglia (14 points) also notched career highs in scoring, while Wilson nearly missed a double-double after pulling down nine rebounds. As a team, the Blue and Gold shot 54.8 percent (34-62) from the field and knocked down 11 three-pointers en route to the 48-point victory.
Women's Basketball (2-2)
This week: Idle
Last week: The Lady Bucs picked up a pair of wins last week as ETSU defeated Memphis 83-73 at home on Friday night, while using strong free throw shooting to hold on for a 57-53 victory Sunday afternoon at Morehead State. On Friday, sophomore guard Brianna Bogard (Georgetown, Texas) netted a career-high 22 points on 4-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc, and junior Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) added a double-double – finishing with 14 points and 16 rebounds. Meanwhile, on Sunday, the Lady Bucs went 23-of-27 (12-for-14 in the final minute) at the charity stripe, and Mitchell paced the Blue and Gold with 15 points as ETSU came away with a four-point win after outscoring the Eagles, 39-35, in the second half.

It's getting to be that spooky time of the year again. Halloween is actually ranked as second in holiday decorating, just falling behind Christmas. Kids and parents are gearing up for the season, already thinking about who will wear which costume. And, of course, some stores have displayed Halloween wares even before the back-to-school rush, hoping to extend the season. Here at Ziggity Zoom, there are costumes to make and masks to print. Boys love the priate vest & eyepatch www.ziggityzoom.com/activities.php and Pirate hat for dressing up as a pirate for Halloween or playtime. Fun printables for masks include an Alien, Monkey, Giraffe and an Elephant. www.ziggityzoom.com/activities.php So Kids can dress up anytime of the year but it's especially fun for Halloween. Children get particular enjoyment from making something and then being able to actually use it. Some of the newest crafts for Halloween are fun inexpensive recycling projects. The cute little Trick or Treaters can be used as table decorations to spook up any table. It's an easy craft for preschoolers. www.ziggityzoom.com/activities.php Another easy Halloween project involves using small, discarded boxes, such as cough syrup boxes and band aid boxes.
New crafts are added on a regular basis and at Ziggity Zoom we try to offer many fun options for making crafts out of recycled household items. Have a Spooky Halloween!

We want to make sure you can continue to enjoy all your music for as long as you please.I like how Rhapsody pretends that backing up all these songs to CDs, then re-ripping them back to your computer, is just "a small step."
On November 7th, 2011 Rhapsody/RealNetworks will no longer support certain music files you purchased before July 2008. These songs will continue to play after November 7th unless you change to a new computer or substantially update your current computer. However, we strongly recommend you back up these RAX tracks to audio CD to ensure you can continue to enjoy your music.
Once you take this small step, you can continue to play these tracks on your audio CD or rip them to any format you desire and play them on your PC.
Please don't delay - after we shut off support for RAX files, you will not be able to play them if you move to a new computer or upgrade your operating system.
In the meantime, those who continue to insist that music is "licensed" and not "bought," can you explain what happened here? If the music was truly "licensed," why can't Rhapsody just provide non-DRM'd versions of the same music? Once again, all this really does is make you wonder why anyone "buys" any DRM'd product.
