When next I awoke I was a slave myself, being sold in the very market I had seen my parents sell the humans and Halflings that we had captured. Although I was only eight years old, when the slavers found out I could speak common as well as Gnoll I sold quickly. My new owner, Al' Versa, introduced himself to me in his opulent house. I stood there upon his marble floor bloodied and still recovering from my beatings. He was a huge sweating human, with fists like maces, who looked at me as if sizing up a nice gazelle or a delicious piece of Caraba fruit. He quickly grabbed me by the throat and proceeded to beat me half to death. As he beat me he said as a Gnoll I couldn't be trusted, but as I was a pup he would allow me to live for the moment at his pleasure. It wasn't long after that that I found out that my master's parents had been killed by Gnolls and I was to be one of his "outlets".
The next 6 months was a blur of beatings or being thrown in a pit with wild animals to fight it out. This was often used as entertainment for some of his guests. If I was gravely injured, Al' Versa would have his house administrator Pimdar, who also happened to be a minor cleric of Abadar, heal me from the brink. Suddenly Al' Versa became bored with beating me on a whim. He decided that he needed grander entertainment, and wanted more Gnolls to suffer. He was a man of great intelligence, but also great vices. From his harem to his sports he lived life richly. Al' Versa decided that a fun distraction would be to buy some adult slave Gnolls to enter into the Gladiatorial games in the city. Adult Gnolls who can speak common are expensive but plain Gnoll warriors are much easier and cheaper to come by. He had me after all to translate for him, his little "pet".
Al' Versa proceeded to have a small training group of cells made at his estate and went out and bought 5 Gnolls. My people are dangerous and unpredictable but Al' Versa knew they also have a great desire to survive. When the Gnoll slaves arrived he decided to teach them the best way he knew how. He took the weakest Gnoll out of the group (who he had purposely paid little for) and proceeded to tortured him to death over 10 long days. I had never seen my master relish so much in the death of another creature. I never bothered to learn any of the Gnolls name, I figured we would all join the one he made an example out of soon enough anyways. A warrior named Hakim was hired to train the rest of the Gnolls for the games. I would watch, learn, translate, and help control the Gnolls. Hakim was paid to make the matches more fun to watch as my master prepared to put the remaining Gnolls into the games. Of course he also wanted to make money off of his new investments and thereby allow him to buy more when we were killed off. Hakim was a master of the Falcion, a large scimitar favored by many guards of Katapeshi nobility. They would make a grander display for the games.
It was during this time that the one small glimmer of hope came into my life. This is when I met the young niece of my master, Haleen. She had started visiting her uncle almost every week and looked at me often with curiosity in her eyes. I couldn't blame her, who keeps a young Gnoll around their house as a pet. I dared not look her in the eyes as my master might kill me for it. It was on her third visit that she approached me. My master was out on a trading expedition and would not be back for almost a week. She seemed almost unafraid of me. By this time I was 10 and almost 6 feet tall and 200lbs of pure muscle. She talked to me through the bars from the other side of the cage to the fighting cells. I answered her questions cautiously, never wanting to offend her in case it got back to Al' Versa. She asked about who I was and what I did in the house. How did I come to be here, how did I learn common. There were so many questions but there was also something about her, maybe it was the pity in her eyes that at first made me want to hate her. But everyday that week she would come back at the same time when I was not training or working with the other Gnolls to learn more about my life. She even began to tell me about herself. There was a great confidence about her. I listened with caution, waiting for her trap to be set so I would get punished and thrown back into some pit to fight something. It never happened. She began to bring me exotic treats from the house and tales about the outside world. But when her uncle came back, things went back to normal. She couldn't dare be caught socializing with me. She would start coming by again every time that my master would leave his house for more than a day. I actually began to believe she wanted to keep me from getting into trouble. Each day that Haleen came to my master's house I started to find things hidden in my pallet. When I returned from working with the Gnolls I would find things such as treats or small things for me like bandages for my cuts. One day I found a shiny charm in my pallet. I was later to find out that it was actually a prayer symbol to Sarenrae. I asked her why she would give me this and it was then that she told me that she thought that there was good in my heart and that Sarenrae would redeem me and show me a path to freedom. I didn't believe her and initially scoffed at what she told me but she continued to work on me over the coming years.
For the next 4 years I worked with his Gnolls, seeing them honed to fight in the arenas. By this time my master was on his 3rd set of Gnolls. I discovered over this time that our trainer, Hakim, was a master of a special type of mental focus that allowed you to set free and focus your inner rage. He called it the "Savage Wind". He had been training the latest Gnolls to learn this technique and the crowds loved it, screaming Gnolls savagely tearing apart their adversaries with great blades, always taking mighty blows themselves and sometimes just shaking them off! Al' Versa was smart enough to not let the Gnolls grow too powerful though. He would decide after a Gnoll had paid for himself and the others upkeep for a few months that he would put that Gnoll up against some type of fearsome creature in the arenas like an Ankheg or one of the Katapeshi Lions. The payout would be great the Gnoll happened to win and would established his fighting Gnolls as a popular event. Even if the Gnoll did win, he would usually be permanently injured in some manner and Al' Versa could put him down since he was no longer of any use to him. He wanted to Gnolls to suffer and die, but not before they made him richer. It was his version of revenge on my people.
It was during this time that my belief in the shiny little charm that Haleen had given me, the symbol of Sarenrae, began to take shape. It seemed when I focused on it that I was happier, I was calmer. My people are the creatures of Lamashtu, but does that mean that we are all like my parents and the other raiders that kill for pleasure? Are there not humans that worship the monstrous one as well as well as Asmodeus, but does that make them all alike? Maybe I could be different, maybe I would be free?
On my 15th year life changed for me again. Al' Versa was growing tired of me. I was too big to beat and I was bigger than most of my brethren and another slave trader had told my master that he expected I would be one of the biggest Gnolls he had ever seen.
Haleen's attentions had not only kept me in good physical health, but had also nurtured something in me that I didn't think could exist, the ability to care for others! The caring was mostly only about her, but I found that I craved her attention. I missed her when she was gone. After all of these years she was even willing to touch one such as me. That she didn't think I was a monster made me care for her very deeply. We talked about philosophy, religion, and she began to teach me how to read when she could. When she was gone my life with my master was almost unbearable, except for the belief that she would return and that Sarenrae might find it in her heart to set me free.
But it was at this time that Al' Versa decided that I was to be trained for the Arena. He could not let a resource like me go to waste. Hakim started to train me in the techniques of the "Savage Wind". I was not a good student. My time with Haleen and my secret belief in Sarenrae had made me soft. I found that it was not as easy to just hate as my brethren did. My thoughts of her would get in the way. But it was Haleen that worked on me to learn it. She said I needed to be able to defend myself, that she didn't want to see me die as all of the others have before me. I believed my time would come though. As soon as my master could find another to replace my ability to talk with my people, I would go to the pits against something horrible.
Surprisingly, my master had me fight some weaker opponents in low quality matches. I grudgingly took down my opponents, but often dragged out the matches to help impress the crowd. I wasn't a crowd favorite but I could at least keep their attention without too many boo's.
It was my 16th year when I discovered why Haleen really had such an aura of confidence. Haleen and I were talking late into the night while my master was away on business. By now Haleen would actually sip into the cells these days, never fearing that I would hurt her. My cell was away from the other at night as I would certainly be killed by my brethren if such an opportunity presented itself, I was not really one of them in their eyes. "What was that noise", whispered Haleen. "I didn't hear anything". I had sharp eyes but had never been known for my great sense of hearing. We sat in silence for a moment and were rewarded by a strange slick noise. To my surprise Haleen drew out a long dagger I had never seen before and whispered, "wait here, I didn't like the sound of that", I shook my head no and followed her into the main cells anyways. We opened the door to find two masked men standing over my brethren. 3 of the Gnolls I could tell already had their throats slit, and they were about to finish of the last two. Haleen reacted faster than I had ever seen her move and bolted towards the closest black garbed killer. She seemed so sure of herself, I don't think she was even afraid. I screamed out and followed Haleen towards that one as well, I would let nothing happen to her! The other killer managed to finish off his last Gnoll but the closest killer wasn't so fortunate. Haleen yelled out "So you bastard, killing warriors straight up too good for you? Well let's see how you like a more stand up fight!" She moved with grace and skill and surprisingly she put the man on the defensive. But he was good and quickly pushed her back. I came up behind him and tried to grab him but he avoided me and I received a slash to the thigh for my efforts. He quickly turned back quickly, parried several blows from Haleen and started to press her back. I leapt at him from behind again and grabbed him in a bear hug. My strength easily overpowering him, and although he slashed me again I held him like an unbreakable vice. Haleen surprisingly stabbed him in the chest without much thought. The other killer had moved towards us rapidly but was intercepted by my brethren now into the embrace of the Savage Wind. The Gnoll took 3 sword blows to get through the killers defenses and started pounding on the killers face. By the time we got over there it was too late for either one of them. My brethren would die in seconds and the killers skull looked like an over ripe melon that had been dropped on the cobblestone from a parapet. I thanked him for his courage as Hakim ran in with 3 other house guards. I dropped the weapon I had procured from the other killer as Hakim grabbed my master's niece and asked her what the hell she was doing in here. "That is none of your concern, I go where I please." "This time you have gone too far mistress, you have put yourself in harms way and I must inform your father," Hakim answered. She looked at me in a concerned manner, "Hakim, you must convince my uncle to spare Grall's life. He has saved mine from these killers, I would be dead if not for him." It was too much, that she would lie to her uncle to possibly save me, a Gnoll! Hakim warned her that she should be careful about what she gets herself into and that he would have to tell her uncle anyways but would let him know what she said. I feared for my life, but I feared more for her and what in his temper he might do to her. I prayed for her that night, probably the first night I openly prayed to Sarenrae.
When Al' Versa returned he was furious. Not only were all of his Gnoll gladiators dead, but his niece was somehow associating with a Gnoll. When he called me into his house I was sure I would die right then, right there. He looked like a man that was ready to strangle a lion. But to my surprise, Haleen was also standing there. I wouldn't die like a dog in front of her so I held my head high and looked Al' Versa in the eyes.
"So Grall, what should I do with you. On one hand you have stained my families honor by associating with my niece, on the other hand you have saved her life. She means a lot to me and she has begged that your life be spared." He sat and thought as he looked back to his hopeful niece. "I couldn't bear to see her hate me, as she says she will if I put you down, so I will spare your life. You will help to train the new Gnolls I must purchase and train. What a waste of what I had built. Grall, know that I will find out who did this and wreak vengeance upon them for daring to damage my possessions let alone what the Pactmasters would do to them!" He smiled as he thought about his next move. It was the first time that my master had not spoken to me with total derision in his voice. Within a year my master had another group of Gnolls into the arenas and I was again teaching my brethren how to fight and die.
I found out from Haleen that she was banned from ever seeing me again, it was part of the deal she had worked out with her uncle that allowed me to live. The only time I would hear from her was when she would write to me and drop a note over the wall at the same day/time/place each week. It was the only good thing left in my life that I looked forward too. I prayed to Sarenrae in secret for the will to continue as each day passed the same, one without her.
I continued to work on my concentration and I was finally able to pull myself into the "Savage Wind" for the first time, and I was starting to do it when I would like as with most of my brethren. My mind remains unfocused as I think about the last few months…
Haleen's last few notes had been strange leading up to the last one I received from her over two months ago. In that note she told me she was going away and to forget about her. She didn't seem herself in any of these last few letters, something had to be wrong. Sometimes she rambled on in the note; I wasn't sure what she meant some of the time. How could I forget about the one thing in my life that I care about! I was crazy to find out what was going on but how could I ask? I finally decided that I would rather die that not find out what was going on. I approached Hakim and asked him about Haleen. A concerned look came over his face and he told me that she had disappeared. He didn't know much but told me that Al' Versa was looking for information about her and asked me if I knew anything. I admitted that I had heard from her a few times after the incident with the killers via letters but had no idea what had happened to her. I showed him the last note she had written to me. It was my last link to her, I had to throw all of the others away, afraid that someone would find them. I really didn't want to give it to him.
Two days later I was in front of Al' Versa. He looked old today. He had been loosing weight lately and the other Gnolls believed him to have the wasting sickness. "Well Grall, it seems that you can't leave my niece alone, I should kill you where you stand." Coughs wracked him for several minutes before he was able to continue. "Enough of that though, I have found out something about my niece. Through magical means I have found out that Haleen is in the vicinity of an old ghost town named Kelmarane. It will also interest you to know that I have also found out that the Pactmasters of Katapesh are looking to revitalize an old trade route to Osirion, and a band of mercenaries and guards is gathering to go out and supplement forces already in place near the ruined village of Kelmarane. The village is said to be infested by gnolls and haunted. I still don't trust you but I think you can help, or at least that is what that stupid cleric of Abadar believes. He divined that you will help her as you can and mean her no harm. If that Cleric is wrong I will wring his neck as well as yours. I have sold you to a man named Garavel who is heading up part of this force. As part of your sale you are to help his forces in retaking Kelmarane, but your main mission is to find Haleen. I am not sure what she means to you, I don't want to know, I would probably kill you if I knew. If you are successful in helping to bring her back alive I have authorized Garavel to give you your freedom. Find my niece Grall, she means everything to me."
"Master, I will not let Haleen down. I will bring her back safely if I must expend my life to do so" I said solumly. "You know Grall I actually believe you, maybe I am just getting old and foolish though, just don't let her down."
I was lead outside where I found a bundle of equipment, more than enough for me to fight in the wilds and in particular was a Falchion, one from Hakim's personal collection. It was perfectly balanced and sharpened to an incredible edge. This weapon could kill many foes. Purposeful Weapon
I have never tried to kill my brethren before, it was always controlled combats were no one died. We might get injured, but we were never allowed to kill each other. I know my brethren hated me even more than my master, they saw me as my master's tool. I probably was but I have known no other life and now I had Sarenae who has shown me the light. My path to freedom as well as Haleen's safety were tied together. The one thing I know now, I will kill anyone or anything that would stop me from finding and saving Haleen from whatever trouble she is in. I stored my gear by my pallet in my cell and readied myself to leave, but there was one last trip to the arenas before I set off to a place outside of the fighting cells and the arenas.
As I finish my final trip to the arenas with my Brethren, I wonder what freedom will really mean to me, I didn't really have it with my parents and I certainly didn't have it with Al' Versa so I have never really had to make a decision on my own other than how to fight. I decide to push it out of my mind and think only of Haleen…
Garavel thought having a Gnoll on his side when fighting Gnolls could give him a strategic advantage, both for the language and for possibly dealing with them, especially one that is loyal to his cause. He doesn't trust Gnolls personally, but he can see your use and has been assured by Al' Versa that you can be trusted.

Study: NSA data collection doesn't aid fight against terrorismKaren Greenberg on CNN, January 13, 2014

Fordham Law Center on National Security Director Karen Greenberg appeared on CNN to discuss the NSA's data collection program.
"Do we want to live in a 'just-in-case' society where they have everything they want and they can say to the American people we want to do this just in case? That's really what we're talking about," Greenberg said.

GARZA WAR. The Garza War was an abortive effort in 1891–92 to organize a Texas-based revolution against the Mexican regime of Porfirio Díaz. Catarino E. Garza was a Mexican journalist living in Texas who had for many years launched editorial attacks against Díaz. Garza and his allies recognized no official border, considered themselves Mexicans, and were active in the internal politics of Mexico. On February 3, 1891, Garza's friend and fellow Díaz opponent Ignacio Martínez was killed by Díaz agents on the streets of Laredo. Martínez's assassination, combined with his own experiences with the regime, convinced Garza that he had to take up arms to defeat Díaz. Using Palito Blanco as his intelligence center, Garza reputedly organized a force of revolutionaries in 1891 to invade Mexico. On September 15, 1891, he led a group of twenty-six armed men across the Rio Grande at Mier, Tamaulipas, and proclaimed the "Plan Revolucionario." The revolutionaries returned to Texas after nine days and a brief engagement with Mexican forces. Over the following months, the Garcistas made at least two more incursions into Mexico. According to Garza's own records, by the end of 1891 his army had 63 commanders, 186 officers, and 1,043 soldiers. Reacting swiftly, the Mexican government sent to the border Gen. Lorenzo García, who so brutally suppressed anti-Díaz dissent that his cruelties caused a pro-Garza reaction in Texas. Fearing border war, influential Texans urged South Texans to remain neutral and petitioned the governor for special rangers to drive out Garcistas. By December 1891 United States Army troops had been sent to patrol the border; one short skirmish occurred, at Retamal Springs. The army generally was ineffective, but Garcistas soon left the area as newly appointed special rangers proved effective and potential recruits opted for neutrality. In 1892 Garza reportedly learned that he was wanted by the special rangers and fled Texas.

More gun laws are not the answer
To the Editor:
In the wake of Sandy Hook, America again debates more gun laws. Yet rather than focus upon better mental health screening and care, some prefer distortion of facts. That or regurgitate such from anti-Second Amendment circles, believing more gun laws are the answer. But reality is far different, that is, even from a politically left perspective.
Professor Gary Kleck, a criminologist and the FBI's top firearm statistic expert, used to be in the liberal anti-gun camp. The stark data from over 30 years of study, however, convinced Kleck that gun detractor rhetoric does not match reality. His work is published and supports that gun restrictions only aid criminal elements, and do not bring about less mass shootings or public safety.
Democrat Craig R. Whitney, former reporter for The New York Times (yeah, that bastion of conservative thought) and author of "Living with Guns: A Liberal's Case for the Second Amendment," attests that anti-gun elements purposely use distortion to promote gun control. Although when the public researches for truth about firearm issues, gun control advocates lose credibility. Go figure.
Liberal memes notwithstanding; gun-ban advocates better brace themselves because in the aftermath of Supreme Court Heller, Heller II, McDonald decisions and three on-point gun cases (Moore vs. Madigan, etc.) now poised for speedy U.S. Supreme Court review. How some envision gun control will not be televised, and the latter is indisputable fact squared at bull's-eye.

VA appears to be failing vets
To the Editor:
Politicians frequently state that they are doing all they can for our brave servicemen and women...Really? If you go to the Department of Veterans' Affairs website and click on "Claims Inventory" you will find the following statement, "VA's goal is to process all disability claims within 125 days at a 98 percent accuracy level." The key word is "goal." It appears the VA will never reach its goal as the efficiency at the VA is on a steep downhill slide. The Center for Investigative Reporting reported that "In the fiscal year that ended in September, the agency paid $437 million in retroactive benefits to the survivors of nearly 19,500 veterans who died waiting." That's a dramatic increase from just 3 years earlier when the agency paid $79 million to the survivors of 6,400 veterans. A message on the answering machine at VA's regional office in Oakland, 510-834-0310, states that it takes from 18 to 24 months to process a claim. Two years to process one claim! The result, homelessness, divorce and suicides. In 2012, more soldiers committed that died in combat.
I am a retired veteran. All of my seniors expected me to meet goals and accomplish tasks. They didn't want excuses or reasons why it couldn't be done. They wanted results. Veterans deserve results, not excuses, promises or hollow rhetoric. A common comment you hear from vets is "Delay, deny, wait 'til I die." It's time for veterans, veteran organizations and concerned citizens let Washington know the delay in processing claims is a national disgrace and totally unacceptable. "We support our troops and we're doing all we can." … Really?

Leave the Blue Mountain CUP alone
To the Editor:
As one who has both lived and worked in downtown for almost 25 years, I must respectfully disagree with Mr. Torchia's letter of Jan. 7. While it is true that trucks hauling limestone for Blue Mountain Minerals, or trees from our forest, are louder than most vehicles, they do not prohibit normal conversation and on their slow crawl through Sonora they are not a menace to life. Rather, these locals are among the most courteous of drivers in stopping for pedestrians.
What is for more important to me, as a downtown business owner and resident, is that the trucks hauling for Blue Mountain, like the logging trucks and the cement truck that just drove by, are welcome reminders of local jobs supported by local employers that keep children in our schools, families patronizing our businesses and taxes going to our local governments. While increased local truck traffic may add a couple of minutes to the drive from the Red Church to the signal, those trucks add far, far more to the lifeblood of our county. The Blue Mountain CUP was studied and debated ad infinitum — it does not need to be reopened.

Federal Communications Commission
COMMISSIONER JESSICA ROSENWORCELRe:
Broadcast Media Ownership, Diversity and Joint Sales Agreements, MB Docket Nos. 14-50, 09-
182, 07-294, 04-256.
Media ownership matters. It matters because it plays a powerful part in shaping who we are as
individuals, as communities, and as a nation.
So today we begin our most recent quadrennial review of our media ownership rules at a time
when every one of us here can acknowledge the landscape is changing. The ways we create, distribute,
and consume content are different. Information is now more plentiful than ever before. Anyone with
Internet access has his or her own digital printing press, and this is exciting.
Still, despite all this change, there is something unique about local broadcasting. Local
broadcasting remains the dominant force in local news. It has special status under the law—and we have
special duties under the law to ensure that the use of our airwaves is consistent with the values of
localism, competition, and diversity.
As we begin this round of review of our media ownership policies, there has been an unusual
amount of attention paid to female and minority ownership of commercial broadcasting. Although our
efforts to restrict Joint Sales Agreements have jumpstarted this conversation, there seems to be broad
agreement among my colleagues, members of Congress, and many broadcasters that women and minority
ownership of broadcast assets matters. This consensus is a good thing.
After all, the number of women and minority owners and operators of full power, commercial
broadcast stations can only be described as unacceptably low. So we need policies that help bring us
beyond the status quo. I hope the steps we take today will make a difference. I hope they are effective.
But I am open—open to new ideas on how to boost women and minority ownership; open to data that
moves beyond intuition and anecdotal accounts; open to the best ideas put forward by all stakeholders—
from civil rights groups to minority business advocates to broadcasters and to members of Congress.
I thank my colleagues for their vigorous interest in these issues and thank the Media Bureau for
their hard work on this issue that matters so much to so many of us.

Stories of distant, weather-rocked communities, from Katerina to China, Thailand to Africa, are enough to make any news reader feel a little helpless. The problems are big, and the ways to support those trying to make a difference are often confusing. How do you choose what projects to support? How will you know your money is truly going to a beneficial, effective cause?
Helping to answer those questions is GlobalGiving Green, new philanthropy service helping to connect donors with community projects that support impoverished populations and reduce climate changing emissions.
The site is a sustainability focused spin-off of the already successful donation site GlobalGiving, a project created by two former World Bank executives (Editor's note: as Ben Block observed, the World Bank itself recently received poor internal reviews of its ability to prioritize sustainability projects.)
Like the original site, GlobalGiving Green also uses information and communication technology to allow users to search through a database of worldwide projects and donate to the one that speaks most strongly to their values and interests. GlobalGiving organizers hope that this strategy will strengthen the likelihood that people will give.
GlobalGiving Green showcases innovative projects that combat the intertwined problem of poverty and climate change. (Many traditional development projects actually increase greenhouse gas production, a sad irony because the natural disasters associated with climate change, like violent storms, flooding and drought, disproportionately affect impoverished communities.)
GlobalGiving Green visitors can choose which project they wish to donate to from four different categories: emissions reduction, reforestation, green technology and climate change education. Browsing each category by project takes visitors all over the world to see how their donation could support projects like sustainable agriculture in Indonesia, bring clean water systems to Mozambique, protect rainforests in Australia, or provide jobs and fuel efficient stoves in Honduras.
For example, donating to the 'Solar Electric Systems for 10 Low-Income Families', a volunteer-based program pictured below, 'helps make it affordable for low-income families to install solar energy systems on their homes, reducing energy costs and having a positive impact on the environment.'
GGG's "How You Can Help" allows donors to choose a level at which they're comfortable giving, and let's them know exactly what their money is going toward:
$50 - Purchases 25 energy-efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs.
$100 - Provides solar training for one volunteer.
$250 - Pays for permit fees associated with one solar electric installation.
GGG allows donors and community-project leaders to connect directly and exchange information on the site. All project leaders provide updates and write blogs tracking the progress of the projects, so that visitors can gauge the success of each one. Donors are also encouraged to participate in the conversation by commenting on why they chose the project or by giving feedback to project leaders.
A project makes it onto GGG if it helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, provides sustainable, positive economic growth, aids the culture and environment of a community, and/or helps educate future generations so they can take sustainable development into their own hands. GGG is partnering with scientific consulting firm Eco-Securities to help evaluate and review each projects' benefits and impacts before it is given the 'green leaf' of approval.
The real strength of GGG, however, is not just that it allows the people wanting to help to choose for themselves how to do so, but also that it helps needy communities bypass outdated industrial models that would only further exacerbate their problems, and instead provides them with tools to let them pull themselves out of poverty, sustainably.

Does not matter. Next year, invitation only. ;)
I apologize. I read the whole thread and found out what it was and forgot to delete my comment. I also checked out the posts about it. I don't know about you, but if I was going, I'd have the biggest pack possible. Skin out weight: 75 lbs. Base weight: 10lbs. Consumables: 65 lbs of beer.
It's OK Paul. Largest pack. don't be silly. We drive the beer in!
What does "San Francisco Bay Area BPL Member Fourth Annual Mid Winter Social Gathering and Lightweight Gear Extravaganza" stand for?Nice Chris, I love it, made my day.
What time are people showing up on Friday. I have the whole day off and was planning on being their around 11 or 12. Will anyone else be there around this time? Don't want to be the first one there.
any spots left? anyone hammocking? we have to haul our water in...is there a creek or lake that we can use our filter?
@ Frank. Marc Eldridge(Mr. Firewood) will be camped at the HQ Thursday night. I plan on getting there late morning as well. There are a few who will show around that time. Half the fun is identifying the other BPLrs that you haven't met yet.
Edited by kthompson on 02/08/2012 06:51:11 MST.
Jack, did you get my PM about the Neoair?Doug
@ Daniel Yes there are. Yes on hammocks. Water is provided for you ready to use. I'll PM you as well.
I would recommend that people be prepared to haul in all the water that they might need, in case we end up with rain and muddy conditions that prevent us from taking the support vehicles in and the supply of water that they have for us.Never hurts, just in case.So that means two types of Platypus bags....6 Liters of water and 6 Liters of booze.No support vehicles = take the waterSupport vehicles allowed = take the booze-Tony
Tony - 2.5 miles in right. Anyone want to rent my 16 year old as a pack mule for booze and water let me know. He is in trouble and I need the money! HAHA!!! I can't wait to get there. I figure if they are still trying to figure out what this event is they don't want to go bad enough. How could you go wrong hanging around with a buch of backpackers who like light backpacking and booze? I am bringing 1/2 my kids anyway and if there are issues there is plenty of room to retreat? The more kids the better for other kids too. Just saying! I can't wait to see you all there and meet some cool people. Even if they are gear geeks!!!Jason
Weather forecast looks great Tony. Plus we have a sympathetic ranger working with us. Just hike in the booze. Can always make a water run.
GGG in 9 days!Still have a few spots available. Speak up or miss out.Read first post in thread.
Still waiting to hear from Morgan and Ryan. Everyone has been great to deal with this time around. Hope everyone is getting excited.There is still a little room. Don't miss out.
I plan on being there Friday. See you all soon!
Edited by Rick778 on 02/09/2012 09:18:37 MST.
Ken,Will be there on Friday too.So what is the total estimated number of people who have commited to attending?Are we at around 75?Pretty exciting to see how this started from a group of 14-16 the 1st year, about 32-35 the 2nd year, about 45 last year, to now.Long live the Gear Geeks!!!-Tony
Tony. It will be BPLrs' en masse for sure. If all show we will be 75+. I have not done a count this week. We have room for a hundred.Great things from small beginnings.
Finally an end to these GGG promotional bumps. Looking forward to seeing everyone. We still have a little room left if you have been on the fence about coming.
One week away and the tradition continues
So my friend just informed me he couldn't get the weekend off from work so It will just be me now.I'm super excited! Seems like we've all been waiting for this forever.

In April 2005, we blogged about the new Internet Explorer 7 User Agent string sent to websites by the browser to identify itself. Since our original blog posting, we have also posted two new articles on the topic to MSDN: Understanding User-Agent Strings, and Best Practices for detecting the Internet Explorer version.
A quick recap:
Over the last eighteen months, most sites that had previously blocked the new version of Internet Explorer have been updated, and we're happy to report that the vast majority of Internet sites are now accessible using IE7.
There are a few remaining sites which fail to recognize IE7 because they are performing exact string matches to look for specific IE version strings. Those checks will need to be removed or updated to accommodate IE7. The Best Practice document linked above provides suggestions.
To enable you to workaround any remaining sites that block access to Internet Explorer 7, we developed the User Agent String Utility. The utility comes in the form of a small executable that opens an IE7 instance that sends the IE6 user agent string. It also provides a mechanism for you to report problem web sites to Microsoft so that we can follow up with the affected site owners. Please download the tool and give it a try.
We look forward to your feedback!

Hm. No one ?
I have a few questions regarding HORM and RoadRunners support for it:
I'm running my system on an EWF protected partition with HORM enabled, which works fine. RoadRunner and WinAMP are installed on an unprotected partition.
rr. ini contains these lines:
So I guess I did everything right. As far as I understand RoadRunner's support for HORM, I once create a hibernate file and even if I cut the power of the PC without hibernating again/shutting down, RoadRunner should load the last used playlist and resume the last song. Am I right there ?Originally Posted by rr.ini
Well, it doesn't work for me. It always shows the playlist I used before hibernating (for creating the horm hibernate file). So it seems to me that RoadRunner didn't notice that I resumed from a hibernate file (PLEASE NOTE: I cut the power without shutting down/hibernating again).
Question 1: From the technical point of view: How is RoadRunner supposed to notice, that it has to reload the playlist and resume the last played song ? Just for my understanding.
I'm using a selfmade skin. When I add the line
to the exectbl.ini of the skin it would reload the winamp playlist. Which would be the last list I used. So this workaround would work."ONRESUME","RELOADLIST"
Question 2: But how do I tell RoadRunner to resume the last played song ?
I'd rather to not use these workarounds. So what's wrong on my configuration that RoadRunner doesn't reload the playlist and resumes the last played song ?
Hm. No one ?
When you hibernate does winamp pause before it starts to hibernate?

The only thing that I would add is what setting do you have for the resume setting in the config? As it should also follow that setting too.

I'm not hibernating but simply cutting the power. That's the whole sense with HORM. Or do you mean when creating the HORM hibernate file ?
I have the same config as you Konrad, and have the same problem. Have you solved it?
using horm doesn't mean you should just cut power to the system -- SPECIALLY when you have non-protected volumes. Instead of hibernating, you should SHUT DOWN the computer properly -- this will ensure RR/Winamp save the resume points properly and that the OS will save any remaining data before shutting off the computer. Once you start up, your hibernate point will be restored and the unprotected volume will be read for the last restore point. HORM is not a "shut me off anytime" license -- it's a simple shortcut for the boot process... however, if you only have protected volumes in your machine than it pretty much allows you to shut the system off at anytime -- even though I'm pretty sure that is still NOT recommend for the hardware's sake.

Well, it's not recommended for harddisks, but I don't see any problems when you use solid state drives.
I see the sense in EWF and HORM for embedded systems, where you don't want the system to change in any way.
What I forgot to mention in this thread is that I'm running a stripped down WindowsXP version. I'm going to reinstall the system and strip it down myself when I have some spare time. But for testing purposes I'll write my own program which watches the computers time to recognize when the system resumes. I know that you included something similiar in a recent version, but it doesn't work for me. I didn't try the newest RR-version though. Did you change/fix the code/behavior in the newest release ?
I am not sure if switch the power off is a problem for the harddrive, but:
1 - My CarPC has been working with no faults for 6 months.
2 - Some time ago (not so much) you have to manualy switch off your computer.
3 - Desktop´s harddrives are not designed for automotive enviroments
Anyway, i can not make it work with a normal power off, nor just switching off.
I have the same problem in this thread:
Till i press some key or move the mouse, there is no update of the screen.

Michigan's grinding hardcore misfits, Cloud Rat, are a band that has apparently slipped through my cracks for some time. The other writers have mentioned Cloud Rat before but I never had a chance to give them a listen before their new full length, Moksha, fell into my lap. I obsessively checked out the band's back catalog before giving this record a listen and was still not prepared for what Moksha would bring. This record shows Cloud Rat at their heaviest, rawest and shows them breaking new ground as well.
