Talladega Superspeedway Chairman Grant Lynch Receives NMPA's Joe Littlejohn Award for Outstanding Service
TALLADEGA, AL – Talladega Superspeedway Chairman Grant Lynch was presented with the coveted Joe Littlejohn Award at the 2014 National Motorsports Press Association (NMPA) convention in Concord, NC over the weekend. The award is given out each year in recognition of outstanding service to the NMPA.
Throughout his career Lynch has been a dedicated friend to all forms of media. Lynch joined the Talladega Superspeedway staff in January of 1993 as General Manager and was promoted to Vice President of International Speedway Corporation (ISC) and President of Talladega Superspeedway in November of the same year. While with ISC, Lynch has worked in various capacities, including overseeing the development of Kansas Speedway and Chicagoland Speedway, but has always lived in Talladega. Since 2009, he has been Chairman of NASCAR's Most Competitive track.
"I am honored and humbled to be presented with the Joe Littlejohn Award by the NMPA, an association that does amazing work for the preservation and continuance of motorsports," said Lynch. "I have worked in the industry for a long time and to receive an honor like this really puts things into perspective. I learned so much about our sport from the likes of NASCAR's Bill France, Jr. and Jim Hunter, as well as R.J. Reynolds' T. Wayne Robertson and Ralph Seagraves – who have all had a huge impact on the NMPA.
"Over the years at Talladega, we have had some of the best public relations and communications people in all of sports and entertainment. I am just an extension of them and our incredible racetrack. Helping the media is something I've loved doing since the beginning of my career."
Lynch came to Talladega Superspeedway after 11 years with R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. where, in his last post as senior manager of operations and public relations, he managed the company's involvement in NASCAR Winston Cup (today known as the Sprint Cup Series) racing. His career there spanned back to 1982, when he joined RJR Special Events as a Camel GT Series show car driver.
The award's namesake, Joe Littlejohn, was one of the great promoters in the early days of stock car racing. After racing in the 1930s and '40s and being the first man to post 100 mph in a stock car on the sand at Daytona Beach, FL, Littlejohn worked with NASCAR's founder Bill France Sr. to establish the site for Talladega Superspeedway. Always willing to assist the media, drivers and owners in the sport of NASCAR, Littlejohn organized the National Motorsports Press Association. He died a legend in the sport at the age of 81 in 1989.
NASCAR returns to Talladega Superspeedway in 2014 with the Aaron's Dream Weekend, which is set for May 2-4. The NASCAR Nationwide Series will take to the track on Saturday, May 3 while NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series machines take the green flag on Sunday, May 4.

basically the same thing as Cwigger. A usually male adolescent who feels he has the right to boast ignorantly about his hard life, and then runs around acting like a gangster while wearing a bandanna (his flag) and a cheap cowboy hat.
A person who is somehow able to love both Country music and rap/pop music at the same time and still be sane.

Mos Def Photo Exhibit Opens in Los Angeles
Mos Def routinely blurs the lines between music and other artistic mediums, so it's no surprise that he's become the subject of a new photo exhibit. The show, which opened over the weekend at HVW8 Art & Design Gallery in Los Angeles, features images by a photographer named Cognito. He followed Mos around throughout his two-year journey recording and touring for 'The Ecstatic' snapping candid shots the whole way.
If you're in the area, you can check out the photos until the end of the week. The show prominently features images of Mos Def touring the globe and hitting places like the Cape of Great Hope in South Africa and San Paolo, Brazil. Yet for many, the big attraction will be a series of "end-of-the-night posse shots" that feature Jay Electronica, Talib Kweli, Erykah Badu and Shuggie Otis.
As far as in-studio imagery, we get the mighty Boogie Man in the lab with producers such as Madlib, OH NO, Preservation and Georgia Anne Muldrow. After the exhibition comes down, Cognito plans to package the entire catalogue into an art book so that fans all over the globe can forever cherish the images associated with 'The Ecstatic'.
And what's an art show without a clothing item to market it? As an additional tribute, Cognito sat down with the folks at UNION boutique to collaborate on a limited edition t-shirt that can check it out by visiting their online shop.

|Imon Talis
Imon shook his head at Warren, "There is no need to thank me, they are my enemies as well. I have been tracking these bandits, or perhaps others like them, all the way from Restov."
Sorry about the delayed response, it just seemed a little odd to have a conversation when the bandit could still be up and kicking.
|Tityanna Medvyed
Tityanna felt the bandit's weight shift behind her and breath near her ear. The thought that there was a man so close to her that was not Donal but an enemy had not occurred to her until that moment, and she stiffens.
She is not entirely thick, however, she recognizes that this device is a glaring signal that likely can be seen for miles, and that none are safe here.
'I would ask you to repeat that later,' she says, not knowing that she cannot be heard, and looks to Thad before spurring her horse forward again. 'We must find the priest.'
|DM - Tareth
Warren finishes the bandit with a quick strike to the chest causing the man to drop to the ground, a pool of blood rapidly surrounding the body.
The whistling from the device is slowly grows quiet, but the smoke continues to hang in the air easily marking the site where the object was activated.
The captured bandit points at the globe and then gestures deeper into the woods. His face has a sense of urgency and worry as he continues to speak to Tityanna in a quiet voice. Thad riding just behind hears the name "Kressle" and "...get outta here or let me go!" from the bandit as he seems to become more agitated the longer the party lingers.
|Warren Kingeagle
Warren searches the bandit while he speaks to the new man from Restov.
"This one is no longer a threat, let's meet up with the rest of our group and have a quick council of war. We have an outstanding ranger with us. He can help hide our tracks if we wish to disappear from whoever investigates this signal."
After two eagles land on his shoulder. he adds, "These two eagles are mine. They are quite friendly if you aren't a delicious rodent."
|Imon Talis
Imon nodded, "Lead on then. I suppose it is good that I found you alone then. With all the running around, it was only a matter of time before confusion set in and something unfortunated happened." As they walked, he seemed to relax, lowering his bow. "So you are one of the groups they sent to reclaim the Stolen Lands?"
|DM - Tareth
As the party regroups along the trail, a hush comes over the forest. The crows that had been harassing Warren's eagles have moved on and little else can be heard or seen in the general area.
|Warren Kingeagle
Warrne and Imon lead the bandit back to the group.
Warren immediately consults Kams.
"I found another signaling device, and I am concerned we will be discovered in our current depleted state. Can we erase our trail and melt into the woods. Later we can activate the signaling device and lead them into a fight of our choosing."
Warren tries to gathers others, "I found this gentelman from Restov hunting the bandit. I was hoping he could update us on the doings in Restov, and we can tell him of our charter. It seems we have a few charters that are unclaimed with the absence of Zavac."
Motioning to Imon, "I am Warren the druid and master of eagles. This is the group that I told you about, the group that is going to bring hope to these lands."
|Thad Tanner
Thad riding just behind hears the name "Kressle" and "...get outta here or let me go!" from the bandit as he seems to become more agitated the longer the party lingers.
Thad rides closer and informs the fellow, "The sorceress comes from a distant land and speaks very little of the common tongue. You seem rather eagre for us to move on... what's the hurry?"
|DM - Tareth
The bandit turns to Thad and says in a frightened voice, "D-d-don't you understand! That f-f-fool sent up a signal to warn Kressle and the others. I'd rather not be here when they come lookin'."
Tityanna feels the man shiver slightly before he continues, "Especially if one of them horrible Blackrobes are with her this time."
|Warren Kingeagle
|Imon Talis
Imon nodded to the group. "I'm not sure how much use I can be of in that regard, I have been out of Restov for some time, but I will help as I can."
When he heard the bandit complain about not wanting to be there when Kressle arrived, he said, "Is he not your leader? Why would you not want to be here when he comes?"
Is there anything interesting I can tell them about Restov?
|Tityanna Medvyed
Feeling the bandit tremble, Tityanna frowns. How much else need be lost to this troupe? Dignity, lives, and now pride. She turns and touches his leg gently, then speaks in the language of the wilds, which she is almost certain he is ignorant of. She tilts her head in the direction of the newcomer, her eyes appraising.
'This boy is afraid. Might we find some place where you might communicate with me? I fear I am quite useless to you, now.'
|DM - Tareth
|DM - Tareth
Turning to Warren, the bandit answers his questions with a slight look and sound of panic about him.
"There'll be at least four plus Kressle and that ugly Vosk if he's still visiting. That's if none of the others have returned. Kressle's been expecting some back shortly."
Panic starts to slip into his voice and Tityanna can feel the man's fear oozing from his being as he tries to get her to turn the horse around and flee the area.
"You don't understand!" He shouts. "The camp isn't that far from here. Just another few miles up the trail. They'll be here soon and if they catch me having surrendered to you Kressle an' Vosk will kill me for sure."
|Imon Talis
"Strange that you would suggest that we hide out of fear of what your master will do to you if you are found, have you no fear of what your captors might do? They are the law here, no one will question them." Turning back to Warren, Imon added, "Speaking of which, I do have some information that you might find interesting, though I don't know if you want me to speak it in front of this one. He motioned toward the captive as he spoke.
|Tityanna Medvyed
Tityanna feels the boy continue to tremble behind her. Inhaling, she draws upon the natural elements in the wood, feels them turn in her stomach, fueling a magics she has yet to identify in herself. Exhaling, she touches the boy's leg again, and feels the magics flow through him, intending for him to calm, as there is nothing she can offer to whatever conversation is taking place that she cannot hear or make out on her companions lips.
Tityanna casts Guidance on the bandit.
|Warren Kingeagle
|DM - Tareth
Startled by Tityanna's touch and the subsequent sensation of magical energy the bandit grows still and calm as he makes an old peasant sign to ward off evil and starts to whisper and quiet prayer under his breath.
He continues to mutter the prayer, but remains calm as the party quickly moves away from the site of the fight. Warren expertly covers any sign the group's passage through the woods to a place of relative safety a few miles away. There's no sign that anyone discovered the trail.
Eventually Warren and Thad find a suitable location and you set up a rough camp to wait out the night.
What's the watch order for the night?
Check Two: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Check Three: 1d6 ⇒ 2
|Warren Kingeagle
|Tityanna Medvyed
Let's hope level 3 isn't so far away. I cannot even roll for that.
Tityanna makes a way from camp so that someone can explain what is going on by writing in the dirt. She glances at the young man apparently speaking to himself and wonders, but has not basis for understanding what he is doing. Being told that she must pair with Imon for the watch, she approaches him before she lays out on her bedroll, and speaks softly.
"If they have not already told you, I am deaf. Shouting will not wake me in... any event," her expression appears sad, and she looks to the young man. 'Their dark magics took my hearing. I can understand why he is afraid.'
|Imon Talis
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Sometime before the meeting split up, Imon shared his knowledge of Restov, both of the other groups sent into the Stolen Lands, and of the cult that seemed to be operating out of the Stolen Lands.
When Tityanna spoke to him, she was quiet enough that he didn't hear at first, though he believed that He understood, though he apparently missed the meaning about the captive. His assumed understanding didn't stop him from replying with, "Huh? Could you say that again?"
|Thad Tanner
'This boy is afraid. Might we find some place where you might communicate with me? I fear I am quite useless to you, now.'
Thad almost does a double-take at Tityanna speaking the fey language; it hadn't come up in the weeks he had known her and he'd found very few humans in his long life who could speak it well. Thad nods at her request and gestures for her to come aside with him after they set up the camp site. There is a patch of bare dirt in the shade of a large tree nearby where he takes a stick and begins writing in the flowing sylvan script, smoothing it out over and over and reusing the same space as he runs out of room.
The 'conversation' is laborious, but they manage to discuss a few things...
This would come out as more of a conversation than a lecture, but I can't think of an effective way to conduct something like that in this case without dictating Tityanna's responses for you. Feel free to steer the conversation differently if I've misread Tityanna's mood and this is not the general direction things would go.
Stop feeling sorry for yourself. You were injured by the dark spirit but are still alive and hardly useless. Life goes on. Years ago I knew an alchemist who lost his hearing in an explosion. He continued his business and paid a hireling to learn hand signs and speak to customers for him. I'm sure there is a teacher somewhere in Brevoy who we could send for after the roads are made safe.
I can only imagine how difficult it is to walk through the forest and not hear the birdsongs or the footsteps of friends ahead and behind... but I promise you, I will stand by you. He hesitates for a moment then with a wry grin writes, We all will, Donall would have our hides if something happened to you. When the bandits come you need only send your spells after my arrows; when our duty here is complete we can search for a cure to your affliction.
|Tityanna Medvyed
Tityanna reads Thad's words, and blushes faintly.
'I meant that as I am, I am of little use in making decisions in the field. If I had not watched that boy throw aside his arms, he might have been screaming that he would harm me, and I would not know.'
Tityanna wets her lips and looks toward the camp. 'I am trying to learn to read lips, but I am uncertain what good it will do to allow our guest to know of my current limitation.'
At the mention of Donal, Tityanna blushes, and she nods at Thad's suggestion that her spells should follow his arrows. 'I will follow your lead,' she confirms.
|DM - Tareth
The night passes uneventfully although there were a few tense moments as the sound of several large creatures could be heard passing through the forest just a few hundred yards to the south. However, the creatures didn't notice your small, hidden camp as passed by without trouble.
The day breaks cool with a growing number of clouds in the sky that quickly cover the golden rays of the morning sun.
|DM - Tareth
|Warren Kingeagle
|DM - Tareth
The party breaks camp and sets off into the woods. It doesn't take too long before Warren comes across an excellent site for an ambush. The site offers plenty of cover overlooking a wide open spot in the trail. Any unsuspecting bandit entering the clearing will find themselves at a significant disadvantage.
I'll get a map posted either tomorrow or Sunday. Let me know if you wish to prepare any traps or other special surprises.
|DM - Tareth
Warrens sets of the warning device. The alarm sends its shrill whistle echoing through the forest and another set of flares launch themselves above the trees tops. Purple smoke fills the area in the center of the clearing and lingers there for nearly an hour before it starts to dissipate.
Before the smoke is entirely, a shout breaks through the usual forest noise.
"Over here!" Calls out a rough sounding voice. "I can see the smoke. T'was one o' ours for sure."
After a minute or two passes, a man dressed in the now familiar shabby leathers and cloak of a bandit can be seen moving carefully up the trail toward the smoke. Several others follow a short distance behind.
Place yourselves on the MAP and let me know if you've added any additional surprises
The dotted area is where the smoke is lingering although it is no longer thick enough to block vision.
|Thad Tanner
Thad is beside his horse, hidden in the scrub brush around a rock formation.
Down the way, opposite the direction the bandits are approaching form, I'd like to tie some rope across the road at about calf height. It won't be particularly well disguised (just rubbing some mud or dirt on it), but if someone on foot or horseback were to be going down the path at a dead sprint they might not notice it in time...
|Imon Talis
Imon readies his bow, an arrow nocked and ready to fire. He hoped that his new compatriots would keep their distance, and that the bandits would stay close together, so he would be able to use Grease on them.
Imon is standing on the other side of the rock Thad is behind, at AD10. Aside from getting into position, he hasn't done anything.
|Warren Kingeagle
|DM - Tareth
The bandits make their way slowly up the trail, weapons drawn, but still in a more relaxed stance. Clearly they are looking for whoever set off the warning device, but don't expect too much trouble.
As they get closer the two bandits near the center of the group stand out. The first is a tough, somewhat rough and burly looking woman carrying an axe in one hand with another hanging from her side. The second is dressed in black robes decorated with a thin band of silver knotwork embroidered along the bottom, collar, and sleeves. The hood is up so it is impossible to tell if it is a man or a woman but there's certainly something that feels dangerous the figure.
|Warren Kingeagle
Warren begins the spell to open a dimensional portal to the land of the dogs.
Full round casting time--Who let the dog out?

|Warren Kingeagle
|Imon Talis
|Tityanna Medvyed
Sorry folks, had a sick husband and we spent some alone time at a cabin with limited net capabilities.
Tityana will have her Shield going before setting up for the ambush for her full AC rating.
Tityana looks to Warren and after a moment, nods. If these are the dark ones that fashion the amulets, it is unlikely that her spells will have any effect, but the woman with the axes poses a viable threat.
Tityana begins casting Sleep, she will center the burst when the spell is completed.
|Thad Tanner
I forgot to mention, Thad is also using detect evil to survey their targets as they walk into the ambush.
So, this was one of the 'blackrobes' the bandits had talked about. Here was a chance to stop this one from spreading misery any farther...
Thad will Smite the blackrobe and loose his arrow when Warren's dog appears.
Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 to hit, 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 damage
|DM - Tareth
Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
PER Bandit 1: 1d20 ⇒ 15
PER Bandit 2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
PER Bandit 3: 1d20 ⇒ 20
PER Bandit 4: 1d20 ⇒ 17
PER Bandit 5: 1d20 ⇒ 19
PER Bandit 6: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
The bandits continue to slowly advance toward the ambush. Both Tityanna and Warren begin quietly performing the incantations and prayers necessary to draw upon their magical energies. A few more seconds pass and then a portal opens and a dog comes charging into existence on this plane.
When the dog emerges, Thad sends an arrow zipping toward the black-robed bandit only to see it miss by a few inches.
Finding themselves suddenly under attack, most of the bandits freeze or stand stunned for a few precious seconds. Only two of the men spot the source their attackers and manage to get a weapon drawn.
The woman is B2. The robed figure is B6.
Warren: Let me know where you'd like the dog to appear.
Tityanna: I placed you at AG13, but if you would like to begin in a different spot just let me know. Also you are able to already have your Shield cast prior to the surprise round.
Thad: Let me know the coordinates of where you set up your rope trap
Begin Surprise Round
|Thad Tanner
The rope line would be between AI-15 / AJ-12, assuming those formations were sturdy enough. If not he'd set it up further down the path at the first opportune spot.
Thad winces as his arrow flies wide. The dark sorcerer must have magical protection. He carefully aims again and lets fly, hoping to cut off any blasphemous chants the man might try to raise. It feels good to be on the hunt again away from families and children, where it was just him and what needed to be done.
Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 to hit, 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 damage
Was the readied action separate from the surprise round? We can use this roll for the next round if not...
|Warren Kingeagle
Warren summons his dog next to the lead bandit S12 it will act in surprise round.
In the surprise round Warren casts and the very plants try to grab the group of bandits. Warren sends his eagles aloft the manage to gain a little altitude, and will be swooping shortly. Entangle Centered H17 40'radius. Lead bandit is outside Area Of Effect.
School transmutation; Level druid 1, ranger 1
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, DF
Range long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level)
Area plants in a 40-ft.-radius spread
Duration 1 min./level (D)
Saving Throw: Reflex partial; see text; Spell Resistance: no
This spell causes tall grass, weeds, and other plants to wrap around creatures in the area of effect or those that enter the area. Creatures that fail their save gain the entangled condition. Creatures that make their save can move as normal, but those that remain in the area must save again at the end of your turn. Creatures that move into the area must save immediately. Those that fail must end their movement and gain the entangled condition. Entangled creatures can attempt to break free as a move action, making a Strength or Escape Artist check. The DC for this check is equal to the DC of the spell. The entire area of effect is considered difficult terrain while the effect lasts.
If the plants in the area are covered in thorns, those in the area take 1 point of damage each time they fail a save against the entangle or fail a check made to break free. Other effects, depending on the local plants, might be possible at GM discretion.
The summoned dog attacks the lead bandit while he is surprised.
Dog hit/dam/possible trip vs CMB w/o Dex 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 251d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 111d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Critical?/dam 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 131d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
|Imon Talis
Deciding to wait to see what the others were doing before using any of his spells, Imon stepped out of cover before he fired twice at the woman, deciding that she didn't look like the sort to carry multiple weapons as bluster. After he was done firing he ducked back behind the rock.
Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Attack 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Bandit 5 Will(DC17): 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 9
Warren's summoned dog charges the nearest bandit and eviscertes the poor man. He only has a few seconds to watch as the animal pulls a long section of his bloody innards from his body before he collapses.
Shortly after the dog's vicious strike Warren releases another wave of magical energy that reaches out a turns the surrounding forest into a tangled mass grasping at the surprised bandits. All are quickly caught and begin to struggle to escape the powerful magic.
With the robed bandit grappled by the entangle spell, he is no longer able to duck away from Thad's arrow and the missile strikes true causing the man to curse in pain.
In contrast, Imon's arrows are deflected off of the woman's stronger armor. As she struggles against the vines, she looks at the bard and gives him a wicked grin while she brings one of her axes to bear against the grappling vegetation.
Tityanna releases her sleep spell into the center of the group toward the rear. The two bandits in the rear suddenly drop into a deep slumber, but the robed figure easily shrugs off the magic and begins gathering his own magical energies to bring into the fight.
End of Surprise Round
Bandits 4 & 5 are entangled and asleep
Bandit 1 is dead
Bandit 2,3, and 6 are entangled
Round One
|Warren Kingeagle
Round 1
Before disappearing Warren's dog charges the bandit held.
Dog S12-P14 attack O15 hit/dam1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 251d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Warren moves unhindered through the woods as druids often do V7-R8 firing his light crossbow at the robed one. 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d8 ⇒ 4
Then, Warren's eagles attack the held robed figure and try to hover to harry his casting DC15 fly check
Tuney attack/dam/fly 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 191d4 ⇒ 31d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Montey attack/dam/fly 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 231d4 ⇒ 31d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Montey crit confirm/dam 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 211d4 ⇒ 3
Warren fires ineffectively, but his eagles and dog are quite effective against the held bandits.
|Thad Tanner
|DM - Tareth
Bandit 3 Escape(DC12) 1d20 ⇒ 17
Bandit 6 Escape(DC12) 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Imon Attack Bandit 2 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Warren's conjured dog manages to tear a good sized chunk of flesh from the bandit woman's leg before it disappears back into the aether. At nearly the same moment, Thad's arrow strikes her square in the chest. Staggering under the two solid blows she's unable to free herself from the vines that continue to grapple and hinder any effort she makes to attack or escape. Imon sends another arrow at the woman, but it ends up imbedded in one of the swirling vines.
The robed bandit begins to chant softly but the rhythm is disrupted as both birds dive and attack. Montey's strike leaves the man screaming loudly. The hood of his robe falls back to reveal a completely bald, white head suddenly marred by the crimson flow of blood flowing from where his right eye used to be. As he starts to fall, his death nearly certain, his right hand clutches at something hidden beneath the black robes.
The third bandit manages to break free of the swirling, grasping vines. Seeing the rest of his fellows and his leader both falling to the groups attack he immediately turns and begins to flee into the forest.
Round 2
|Warren Kingeagle
Round 2
Warren rushes full speed into the forest, determined to stop the fleeing bandit. He skirts the north edge of his entangle spell. As he runs, he whistles, sending the eagles to follow. They climb to prepare to harass the man fleeing.
Warren runs using pass without trace 80' west to D11. His eagles have to gain altitude before they swoop in again I would think.
"Let none escape, I have the fleeing one."
|Thad Tanner
As he starts to fall, his death nearly certain, his right hand clutches at something hidden beneath the black robes.
Without needing to look with his god-given sight, Thad knew what lay beneath the man's robes, and he knew all to well what that vile trinket was capable of. He sets his bow aside hurriedly and sprints toward the blackrobe in a desperate attempt to wrest the charm from him.
I don't have enough movement to reach him this turn with a double move, consider these my rolls for next turn if applicable.
CMB(?): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Will save: 1d1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
|Imon Talis
Sorry about not posting last round, it seems like the new posts marker failed me.
Noting that the woman, the only one he had a good shot on, was tied up, he decided to move closer, hoping to finish off the spell caster (moving to Z10). He readied and loosed another arrow, hoping the man wouldn't have time to do whatever he was attempting.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Damage 1d8 ⇒ 2
|DM - Tareth
Thad races toward the mage, priest, or whatever he actually s while Imon lands another arrow into the dying man's arm. Pushing himself to the limit the paladin dives toward the man in a desperate attempt to keep the villain from activating the charm hidden under the robe. Showing a superb amount of dexterity, grace, and a healthy dose of luck Thad manages to jerk the charm out of the man's boney hand just as he begins his final chant over the deadly item.
Eyes burning with a cold, dark, rage match Thad's as he jerk's the charm from the bandit's hand. Blood gurgles from his lips interrupting the last words but a sense of satisfaction crosses his face as the charm releases a burst of dark energy that lances through Thad like a spear thrown from the very pits of the abyss.
Fortunately, Erastil, is guarding his servant today, and much of the energy is blocked as the paladin calls on his god for strength and protection.
The charm of bone shaped like a scorpion is very much like the others encountered in the past and continues to struggle in Thad's grip.
The last bandit continues to run south into the trees. His panicked running is easy to hear even after he disappears into the forest.
Seeing the robed man succumb to his wounds Kressle, struggles harder and finally breaks free of the grappling vines. Grabbing a potion from her belt, she quickly cracks the seal and drinks the contents. A second later a few of her wounds stop bleeding and partially heal themselves.
Thad Damage (Half for DC15 Will Save): 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Kressle vs DC12: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Kressle Potion of Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Bandit B3 continues south. Double move (1/4 for dense forest) to O27

A versatile and well-designed pack.
From quick overnight hikes to weekend excursions into the wilderness, the Osprey Atmos AG 50 Backpack will get you where you want to be, without your back aching every inch of the way. Now featuring Osprey's Anti-Gravity suspension system, this award-winning pack is even more comfortable than before. You might be thinking an Anti-Gravity system sounds like it belongs on a spaceship rather than a backpack, but really the system is pretty simple and is composed of a single lightweight mesh panel that extends from the top of the back to the hip. This seamless design allows the panel to automatically contour to the shape of your back, while also allowing air to pass between your back and pack for a cool and comfortable fit.
An adjustable torso length along with an adjustable hip belt allows you to further customize the pack for your hiking comfort. Fully equipped for full days on the trail, the Atmos comes standard with a removable/floating lid that doubles as day or summit hip pack. An internal hydration sleeve lets you equip the pack with the hydration system of your choice, while two stretch side pockets can be used to stash gear or water bottles. Two front panel pockets are an ideal spot to stow maps, extra layers, and snacks, and multiple gear loops on the front of the back allow you to attach your ice axe and trekking poles.

Confortable high quality backpack!
Loved the space and ergonomic shape and look!
Thanks you Octavio!
Osprey Rep
Great pack!!!!
I've used this backpack for a few backpacking trips, most recently on a backpacking trip to Havasupai. It worked perfectly! I have the burnt orange color and love it, and it doesn't show stains when you throw it in the dirt, which is inevitable. Osprey makes great products but this one takes the cake!
I Need To Go Backpacking More
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
It has been more than a few years since the last time I went backpacking. I have been once since I bought this pack and certainly plan to go a lot more in the coming months. I found this pack to be overall very comfortable, and the occasional discomfort that I did have can be safely attributed to me not reading enough about the proper adjustments. Overall a very great pack.
Cadillac Backpack
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Why have you been driving that old beater car with no a/c and a busted window? So you can buy the caddie of backpacks. This thing has it all and rides really nice on your back. I have used it on trips up to 6 days (50L atmos) and still have a little room to spare. If your going to eat ramen noodles so you can save up money to sit in a tent and eat ramen noodles you might as well splurge on a nice pack.
Nice pic Corey! Always good to see the Atmos AG in action.
Osprey Packs Atmos AG 50
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Fits like a glove looks like it should hold up for a long time. Innovative back support/ventilation system is extra fancy.
Very Comfortable
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is the most comfortable pack I have used. I don't backpack often so I don't go through bags often. My bags was going on 8 years old so I decided it was time upgrade and boy am I glad I did. The anti gravity system is awesome. I have never felt that level of comfort from a backpack. I like that the top lid is removable. I try and pack very light and as such don't need all the extra room.
First backpack
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This fits great. Took it on a 2 hour hike into a lake for an over night camping trip. Had it fully loaded with sleeping bag, two person tent, extra clothes, 100oz camelback, and food. Very little pressure on my shoulders. I'm happy with my purchase and hope to get a lot of use out of it.
Great pack!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I've taken this pack on 2 trips so far and it has been great. My first trip included about 15 miles of hiking with 25 lbs in the pack and it was extremely comfortable the entire time.
This pack is THE BEST. Osprey has the best packs and the atmos is top shelf. The AG system is awesome.
Great pack!!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Used this pack on a 5 day trek to Machu Picchu and it worked out perfect. Very comfortable. I went with the 50 AG over the 65 AG because the trips I go on are no more than 4-5 days. The only issue my wife had with hers was that she could barely fit her synthetic 15 degree mountain hardware sleeping bag into the sleeping bag compartment. That also took up a lot of the main compartments room. So if you have a bulky bag, beware.... Or just upgrade to a down that packs smaller and you'll be fine.
review flagged as It was misspelled. Just wanted to make someone aware of it. . Click here to view.
Awesome pack!
I love this pack. It's very comfortable and easy to manage. It has ample storage space and lots of places to strap items on the outside of the pack. I recently used it for a hike from the south rim of the Grand Canyon out to plateau point and back (12 miles) and I barely noticed I had the pack on which was loaded to about 20-30lbs at the time. The color is also cool. I would recommend this pack to anyone interested in the osprey brand.
Hey Jason - thank you for the great review! Mike, Osprey's founder, owner and designer, really knocked it out of the park with this product. Thank you for noticing!
Osprey Rep
A very good bag .. That could be better
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought this back for a 10 days trek of 120 miles in France and this backpack is very confortable and easily adjustable.
The only concern is about the side pockets on the hips belt that are really too small ( on one side my iphone with a waterproof case don't fit in and on the other side it was not possible to close the zipper with one hand when my wallet was in ( may be i should think of a smaller wallet...)
One easy access pocket on each side would be great and to reach the very top level, a vertical zipper to easily access the bottom of the bag without removing everything would be welcomed
Hi Jean-Bernard. Thank you for the review! I have received some feedback about the pockets and it's something that Osprey is looking at for future generations.of this pack. Aside from this, I am so happy you loved the pack! There is a good reason this pack has won so many awards!
Osprey Rep
Trail Tested
I have had my Atmos 50 for a couple years now. I don't review products until I've really put them to the test. Here's my personal opinion on this backpack.
This is the rest of my review that didn't submit above.
Overall I am extremely happy with the pack. The durability is unmatched. I've beat the heck out of this pack without sustaining any real damage or mechanical malfunctions. It packs well for a weekend or 3-4 day trip. If you're going to exceed that amount of time I'd definitely be looking at the 65. The suspension systems on these packs is top notch and allows for maximum breathability. There is plenty of storage space and pockets. The weight is evenly distributed and sits well on my hips. The downfall to this pack in my opinion was the hourglass shape. It makes it challenging to put certain items at the bottom. I purchased the additional rain cover, but would also like to see that more streamlined and come integrated with the pack. A way to access the guts without taking everything out from the top would also be a nice feature. It's a pain taking everything out to access one item from the bottom. Those are my only real complaints on the pack. As you can see from the photos, I've used it on a variety of terrains and multi day backpacking adventures. Overall I really like the backpack and would recommend it for beginners to advanced. It's a great all round choice.
Steven, thank you for the review. Seems like you have 1 that is a generation before this newer Atmos AG pack. You will be happy to know that we added a front panel access! Also, I have heard the feedback (and so has Osprey) on the raincover. We left it off to not add another $25 to the pack! Still, its not an uncommon request.
Thanks again for writing!
Osprey Rep
Thanks Leta! Looks like it's time to upgrade!
Good pack that could be great
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought this pack for a five-day hike through the jungle-clad mountains of Colombia to the ruins of an ancient city. There were fixed camps, so the loads were light (~20-25 lbs), but the heat, humidity, and terrain were challenging. In those conditions, ventilation isnâÂÂt just a matter of comfort: too much moisture and pressure results in sores pretty quickly. Thankfully, the mesh back panel worked as intended.
The hip belt was surprisingly comfortable and did a good job of keeping the weight off my shoulders. The hip belt pockets were extremely useful for stowing frequently used items, but proved a little difficult to open and close one-handed. The layout and capacity were good â the internal divider between the main section and the sleeping bag compartment allowed me to stow my ziplock of wet, stinky clothes separately from the rest of my stuff. The compression pocket on the back was useful for stowing my river shoes for easy access at frequent crossing.
What was missing was an integrated rain cover â particularly annoying since Osprey offers one on other packs in this capacity range, and because the shape of the pack makes it difficult to secure generic ones over the area where the hip belt meets the body of the pack. The other thing missing is a way to secure excess webbing. ITX Web Dominators are cheap, and thereâÂÂs no excuse for major manufacturers not to include a few with a pack that costs as much as this one (or the Arcteryx Altra 75 I bought last year). Assuming the Atmos proves reasonably durable over future trips, those two fixes would turn a good pack into a great one.
Heyg Max - great feedback. The raincover issue is a tought one, only for the aspect of pricing... it would add $20-$25 on to the pack, and we are sensitive to this. The Osprey raincover does work well here, if you choose to get it.
The strap keepers are a good add, and I will be sure to make that suggestion to them!
Thanks again for taking the time to write,
Osprey Rep
Hey Leta,
Thanks for tracking on my feedback. I'm sure you guys have market research on price sensitivity, but I'd be surprised if a roughly 10% increase would make a difference in this range. Also, having a cover that can't be lost or misplaced would be a huge plus.
On the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
Best pack
This pack is absolutely awesome. Just finished the Inca Trail in Peru last week and I couldn't be happier with my pack choice. I have 50L in cinnabar red size large and it was perfect for me (6'2" 200lbs).
I'm torn between the 50L & 65L
Get the 65. roomy when you need it, and cinches down when you don't
Hike like a Pro
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Atmos makes an amazing pack. Definitely a bit pricey, but absolutely worth it.
Been on the trail pretty regularly and i've tried a lot of packs, including super minimal 30L pack hikes with just the essentials all the way up to tons of luxury items. This pack appeals to me on many levels, because whatever your style this pack can do it. THis bag is designed to be a one-size fits all for style. No major specialization, but it can do a lot pretty darn well.
Its a light pack, with every feature I could want and easily the most comfy i've ever used. Definitely need to make sure you size and adjust it appropriately. If your not sure, look online for instructions and videos on how to adjust a pack.
Super adjustable
Amazingly comfy AG system
light for the features it has
Removable top is great for weekend hikes that don't come close to filling the pack
It was a bit large for a 3 day hike, so i removed the top. But I feel like it would be perfect for a week long hike. Less for cold weather, but i dont really do that much anymore.
I'm a pocket guy, so the one giant duffel scenario isnt as appealing to me. But thats the trend.
wish the removable lid was held on with clips so you dont have to undo straps every time
Only major thing it should have is a built in pack cover. This is not a cheap bag at all, so needing to buy a $30 cover on top of it is a little crappy.
Price - not a cheap pack, and if you do your research you can likely find a pack equally nice for less. But the Osprey name is gonna cost ya.
Pack it up
Camping and fishing gear for a few nights.
Over engineered?
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
First off I want to thank Osprey for hooking me up with this awesome pack! You guys and gals rock!!
As most anyone who backpacks will know, Osprey has been making some of the best packs on the market for years now. They never seem to disappoint. Yet again, Osprey has somehow figured out a way to improve their pack designs. The major improvement with this pack is the "AG" or Anti Gravity suspension system. Seriously, this system seems to make the pack feel lighter than it really is. The large mesh panel on the back panel allows tons of airflow, while still being supportive enough for carrying loads up to 40lbs. Once you have the pack on you hardly notice it's there! The suspension system does an incredible job at distributing the weight, making the pack feel more stable in rough terrain.
The waist belt is the best waist belt I have used. It, along with the AG suspension system helps to distribute the weight of the load very well, allowing you to hike longer without feeling fatigued. The pack also offers cinch straps which help to keep the load in place, so the pack doesn't shift on you when you are maneuvering through large rocks or uneven terrain. The pockets are well thought out, making access to water bottles and snacks a breeze. The top pocket also removes so you can use it for short day hikes. And the large mesh stretch panel on the back works perfectly when you need just a little more room for a few items, or the trash you are packing out.
If I didn't know any better, I would assume this pack was German engineered. If you are in the market for a great pack, to fill the need for overnight up to 3 or 4 day backpacking trips, look no further.
Will the 50L hold a BV500 Bear vault?
Hey David - The short answer is yes, you can fit a BV500 Bear vault container in the Atmos AG 50 (I have this pack and an old bearproof container). But it takes up a significant amount of space inside of the pack. Depending on the length of your trip in bear country, you might want to consider the Atmos AG 65. Feel free to contact me directly with any additional questions.
- Kyle L. - Expert Gearhead
This pack looks great, but I am desperate to get the non-AG version. I have the Atmos 65 from ~2013 and love it. I really want that older model in the 50L.
If that is impossible, can anyone who used the older version and the AG comment comparing the two? Thanks!
hey Mark, the older version holds the weight slightly further from your back, and the hipbelt wrap is not nearly as clean or as comfortable. The AG really wraps your body, and holds it in a tight hug. I love that you love your old Atmos, but I think you will be stoked for the AG.
Thanks for the question -
Osprey Rep
Thanks for the quick response! I'm on the fence, but will probably go with this new AG model.
Hey Mark, if you're still on the fence, some words from a recent convert -- I swapped out my 2008-era Atmos 50 for the Atmos 50 AG this summer.
Leta from Osprey is right; this pack fits like nothing I've ever felt. Easily the most comfortable pack I've ever worn. It's not perfect for me though and I find myself missing my old pack a lot. Some things to consider:
- Old Atmos 50 had two front zip pockets. The 50 AG does not (only the 65). I really miss the organization. AG has an extra pocket in the brain but I'd rather have the zips on the front.
- Old Atmos had sleeping pad straps on the bottom. 50 AG does not (65 does).
- Old Atmos had daisy chains on either side of the front stretch pocket. 50 AG does not, or any lash points at all really, unless you want to repurpose the tool loops on the bottom or the guides that hold the straps for the lid.
- 50 AG is about a pound heavier than my '08 50. It FEELS a lot lighter because the suspension is amazing but still, the knees...
- My '08 Atmos 50 worked as carry-on. It was amazing. The new AG frame is much taller (and skinnier, to keep weight closer to your body) and needs to be checked. Big bummer.
- Along those lines, the frame is much more structured and the empty pack takes up a lot more room in my closet. When I see it in there it seems less like a bag and more like a suit of armor.
BUT it's all worth it I think:
- As said before, it carries like a dream. It feels so much lighter, the torso fit is really adjustable and the weight is closer to your back. I hike faster and my backpacking posture is much improved. This alone might have been worth the switch for me.
- It has a bottom zip!! I still miss those extra front pockets but it's great to be able to access most of my gear without emptying everything out of the pack.
- Bigger hipbelt pockets for snacks/camera/phone.
- Removable lid if you're into that sort of thing. My problem with that is if you leave the brain at home you lose all organizational capability. But stuff sacks I guess...
- Does your Atmos 65 squeak? My 50 did. No squeaks on the AG yet...
- You know how the inside of your Atmos 65 is curved to create that space behind your back, so when you pack you've sort of got to move stuff around this banana shape inside your pack? A LOT less of that, thanks to the taller, skinnier frame.
I hope this helps your decision one way or another. I know Osprey also makes a Stratos 50 that has the same sort of suspension the old Atmos did if you don't want to make the leap to AG. Have a great day!
Thanks Ross. I recently went with the Osprey Kestral 48. I thought it was perfect, but after loading it for a trip last night, it was very uncomfortable. I just returned it to another store.
My older Atmos 65 does squeak a bit, but not a big problem even for a complainer like me.
I wish I would have seen your comments about 2 hours earlier!! I like the idea of it being narrow and taller - exactly what I'm looking for! But I just ordered what seemed to be THE LAST old version Atmos 50 on earth (from Japan of all places). I definitely overpaid, but I'm so used to my 65L, I'm sure I will be happy with it's little twin.
But you helped me make up my mind if I need to get a replacement in the future.
Can this work as carry-on and fit in the overhead cargo on plane?
Depending on the airline you're flying with you'll have a different bag restrictions. Here are a few major air lines and their respective carry on size limitations compared to this pack:
(All in inches)
Delta Air Lines 22 x 14 x 9
Southwest Airlines 24 x 16 x 10
American Airlines 22 x 14 x 9
This Pack: [medium] 31 x 14 x 16 in
The length will be too big.

Would anyone be able to confirm availability of size L in Cinnabar or perhaps Graphite Grey?
I'm interested in a backpack in the 50-55L range to complement my Aether 60, which is great for colder weather camping. However, it's a bit too large for warmer weather camping. My tent, pad and bag for 40+_degree nights is approaching the lighter end: they only weigh 6 lbs combined. So I am interested in this pack - a size Large shows to be 53L, which is perfect.
A 45L pack is a tad small for any food/water for a weekend of backpacking trip, but fine for an overnight trip or where I can readily access water sources on the hike with a filtration system.
Thanks, Marc
Hey Marc!
Just wanted to let you know that we will be receiving size Large of Cinnabar and Graphite Grey in the next few weeks. I'll do my best to let you know when we have one in stock.
Give me a call and we can chat!
Hey Marc - Leta here with Osprey. Your selection and reasoning of the Atmos AG is perfect. An excellent choice! Enjoy it when it comes in!
Do you think this pack is large enough for a 4 day backpacking trip or should I go for the 65. I usually do 2-3 day trips
Depends on how much you like to carry. If you are lightweight oriented and try to find ways to lighten the load the 50 will work. If you like to bring a lot of extra gear and be really comfortable bump up the pack size. For some this would be more than enough on 2-3 days others, no way.
Feel free to hit me up at firstname.lastname@example.com or 801-736-6398.
Hey there, Leta, the Osprey rep chiming in - Right on, Bill. It really depends on your gear. The good thing about going bigger is that you don't HAVE to fill it, although the bad thing about going bigger is that you probably WOULD fill it! You will love the pack, though!
Anyone have a suggestion on what size rain cover to get for this pack?
Hey Daniel!
It all depends on the brand of rain cover that you choose. A good item to look at would be the Mountainsmith Rain Covers.
That cover in the size Small would be perfect for your pack, as it will fit a pack up to 3500 Cubic Inches.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or to place an order. I would be happy to provide you with a personalized experience here at Backcounty!
Ivan Mercado
Hope to see you out there!
Hey Daniel!
Another great option for you that will likely fit even better than the Mountainsmith Rain Covers would be the Osprey Packs Ultralight Rain Cover , which are also a lighter weight!
Depending on which size you go for with the Atmos, the rain cover you would want would be the Medium or Large size! Feel free to contact me with any further questions!
Daniel Goodman
Gearhead Operations
where is this pack made from?
Most Osprey packs are made in Vietnam... I'm not sure about this specific pack, but that would be my guess!

The service is always nice and food is solid. Their Ma Po Tofu dish is excellent, a taint of spice but not overly spicy while the tofu is cooked just right. Their fried chicken fillet dish is also done quite nicely, not overly greasy and a very nice crispy skin.
The portions are not that big, but suffice to fill a hungry stomach. There are also small side dishes and/or BBT to fill you up if you are really that hungry. The place is clean, ambiance is not bad with the new decors.
This is one of the more favored place for most of my friends and I, for their food, service and location. Parking can be easily found on the side and/or street parking. Getting a spot is never an issue here.

The CFPB rules also mandate that if a borrower already has an escrow account that covers hazard insurance premiums and the account runs out of funds, the servicer cannot purchase more expensive force-placed insurance. It must stick with the borrower's current insurer and even forward funds to the account if necessary.
Force-placed insurance "often can be more expensive than the insurance borrowers buy on their own," Cordray said. "Our rules force servicers to provide more transparency in this process, including advance notice and pricing information before charging consumers."
Loss Mitigation
Servicers are required to:
- Inform borrowers within 60 days about their loss mitigation options after a borrower has missed two consecutive mortgage payments, including providing examples of various options to help avoid foreclosure.
- Make a good faith effort to establish "live" contact with a distressed homeowner after they have fallen behind on their mortgage payments by 36 days.
- Provide written notice about loss mitigation once a loan is delinquent by 45 days.
- Acknowledge receipt of a borrower's application for loss mitigation within five days and inform the borrower if their application is complete.
- Evaluate any mitigation application within 30 days for all eligible options to avoid foreclosure based on investors' eligibility rules.
- Give an explanation to borrowers if they are denied a loan modification. Servicers must provide a written decision, including their basis for a denial, and borrowers have a right to appeal as long as their application was received 90 days before a scheduled foreclosure sale.
Fair Review Process
Another major change to the final rules is that servicers now have to double-check with investors that own a delinquent loan what loss mitigation options they offer — from deferment of payments to loan modifications — and provide those options to the borrower. They also have to inform the investor of what they are doing.
For years, servicer incentives have not been aligned with the interests of investors, a senior CFPB official told reporters on Wednesday. Investors themselves have been unable to force servicers to provide loan modifications, in part because servicers may actually be paid more when a loan goes into foreclosure. Under the rules, servicers can no longer steer borrowers to those options that are most financially favorable to the servicer.
The CFPB's final rule differs from a requirement in the national mortgage settlement that the top five banks provide a "single point of contact," to borrowers. Instead, servicers are required to have "dedicated personnel" to provide delinquent borrowers "with direct, easy, ongoing access to employees responsible for helping them."
New Disclosures
The CFPB rules require servicers to provide servicers with a handful of new notices, some of which are more common practices than others. Even for those that are already in use, however, the agency is mandating much more detail and a new set of timetables in certain cases.
For example:
- Billing statements must include a myriad of information such as payments due and made; fees imposed; contact information for the servicer and housing counselors; and delinquencies if applicable. The periodic statement requirement generally does not apply to fixed-rate loans if the consumer has a coupon book with the same information or is provided the remaining information, the CFPB said. The rule will also include sample forms and the timetable required to provide the information.
- Creditors, assignees, and servicers must provide consumers with an adjustable-rate mortgage a notice between 210 and 240 days before the first rate-adjustment payment is due. They must also give notice between 60 and 120 days before a payment is due that has been adjusted because of an interest rate change.
- Servicers must credit the periodic payments from borrowers on the day of receipt. If the borrower sends a payment less than the periodic amount due, the payment can be held in a suspense account. When there is enough funds in the suspense account to covers the payment, the servicer must apply the funds to the consumer's account.
- Creditors, assignees, and servicers must provide the correct payoff balance to a consumer no later than seven business days after receiving a written request from the borrower.
While some of this sounds like basic information, Cordray said such problems have gone on for years and continue today.
"In the second half of last year alone, our Office of Consumer Response fielded more than 47,000 complaints about mortgages," he said. "More than half were about the problems people have when they are unable to make their payments, such as issues relating to loan modifications, collections, or foreclosure."
Fixing Errors
The CFPB also issued requirements for how servicers must respond to written information requests or error complaints. The rule outlines error-resolution procedures that include any error relating to the servicing of a mortgage loan and timetables for responding.
Servicers have five days to acknowledge the notice of an error. They also have 30 to 45 days to: correct the error asserted by the borrower and provide the borrower written notification; or conduct an investigation and provide the borrower written notification that no error occurred.

Hydraulic Rod Pumping
NOV Monoflo has introduced its Corlift high-performance hydraulic rod-pumping system. Pumping sites where conventional pump jacks have not been economical are ideal for these low-profile units, with a small footprint that causes minimal ground disturbance. Additionally, this system requires relatively brief installation time and minimal manpower compared with traditional pump jacks. The system is manufactured in an ISO-9002 certified facility and powered by a 5.7-L EPA-certified field-proven power-skid option. Consisting of a mast mounted directly to the wellhead (Fig. 1), this system has quick and easy stroke-speed and -length adjustments and a pump-fill optimization by use of the hydraulic-pump controller. The system can be used with rod and tubing rotators, and guide wires are not necessary during installation. Available in several models, the system has lifting strength up to 30,000 lbf and stroke length up to 144 in. for various oil- and gas-production applications.
- For additional information, email email@example.com.
High-Temperature Pressure Measurements
Schlumberger's PressureXpress-HT service provides accurate formation-pressure measurements under extreme conditions (Fig. 2). Rated at 450°F and 20,000 psi for at least 14 hours, the service acquires pressure and fluid-mobility measurements in a fraction of the time required by multifunction formation-tester tools. Fully combinable with the company's other logging tools, this tool eliminates a separate wireline run to obtain critical pressure data. Equipped with a flasked high-resolution Quartzdyne gauge, backed up by a Sapphire gauge, the tool does not require thermal stabilization. Coupled with set and retract times as low as 15 seconds, the tool maximizes measurement efficiency while minimizing the possibility of sticking. The tool uses a heat-management-optimized design to perform extended surveys at maximum temperature for measuring formation pressure in a wide mobility range, including very low mobilities. Critical hydrocarbon-fluid profiling can be performed by use of the company's InSitu Pro real-time quality control and interpretation for pressure and gradient analysis. Pressure profiles and mobility measurements are combined with seismic and log data to develop a static reservoir model after the first logging run.

Topdrive Casing System
Weatherford's TorkDrive series of tools is a major component of its OverDrive casing-running and -drilling system. The system was designed to provide a safer, more-efficient alternative to conventional casing installation. Mounted to the rig's topdrive (Fig. 3), the tool combines several conventional casing-running tools into one: power tong, elevator, fill-up/circulation tool, and weight compensator. Hence, the system requires fewer personnel on the rig floor. The company's new electronic-modular (EM) tool for the system has an electronic controller that can be fully integrated with electronic rig-control systems. Most modern rigs use digital-communication systems and robust industrial networks to interface rig equipment. These systems allow the driller to use a single console to control many rig parameters during operations. The EM tool's ability to integrate with the rig's network further reduces personnel requirements. Current casing-running methods with premium connections can require up to four specialized crew members on the rig floor at a time. By use of a fully integrated topdrive-control system, the casing-running crew can be reduced to one person on the rig floor.
- For additional information, visit www.weatherford.com/torkdrive.
Casing-Patch System
Mohawk Energy has introduced its MetalPatch casing-patch system (Fig. 4) developed for cased-hole completions. It is designed for well-integrity issues such as failed completion equipment, leaking connections, corroded casing or tubing, and perforation shutoff, or for relining the entire well. The casing patch can be installed along intervals ranging from 30 to 6,000 ft in length. All sealing elements in the patch, which include the upper and lower seals and premium threads, use metal-to-metal sealing technology. Also, the patch is compatible within the tolerances of the customer's API casing by use of a proprietary compliant-sealing system that allows reliable sealing throughout the variations in API inner diameters. The system targets operations in which the casing patch can be used to seal off failed fracturing sleeves or to work over old wells with corroded casing.

Resistivity and Imaging While Drilling
Schlumberger's MicroScope resistivity- and imaging-while-drilling service provides high-resolution laterolog resistivity and electrical images around the borehole in conductive-mud environments. The new 4¾-in. logging-while-drilling tool (Fig. 5), used in 5⅞- to 6½-in. hole sizes, measures azimuthally focused laterolog resistivity and images at multiple depths of investigation. The high-resolution resistivity measurements help to identify bypassed-pay zones and develop better reservoir estimates. It is particularly suitable for formation evaluation in high-angle and horizontal wells. The high-resolution images are provided in real time and in recorded mode, enabling optimal placement of horizontal wells and identification of fractures and faults for completion-design optimization. The service delivered quantitative resistivity measurements and quality borehole images during a 150-well field-test campaign in diverse environments, including carbonate and clastic reservoirs and unconventional shale plays.

Insulated Pipe-In-Pipe Riser
Recent developments in the UK continental shelf have set new precedents for temperature and pressure requirements in rigid-riser systems, with temperatures ranging from +180 down to –30°C. Tata Steel and its supply partners, Eisenbau Krämer and the pipe-bending plant of Salzgitter Mannesmann Grobblech, recently designed and created a system to produce insulated bends for risers and spools (Fig. 6). One of the most significant challenges of such riser systems is how to pass the inner flowline bend into the outer casing pipe while achieving efficient insulation throughout the riser and bend structure. The solution uses a 16-in.-diameter pipe within a 22-in.-diameter pipe to overcome these challenges by deploying granular Nanogel insulation in the annulus of the pipe-in-pipe system. This granular material has trapped nanopores of air, inhibiting heat transfer by conduction, convection, and radiation, and produces a solid yet flexible barrier to retain insulation, allowing movement of the inner and outer bends. Also key to the solution was annular-gap consistency throughout the assembly, which demands tight control of dimensional tolerances during manufacture of the pipe and bends.
- For additional information, email email@example.com.
Pipeline Cleaning
T.D. Williamson S.A. was contracted to clean two pipelines in southwestern Romania. The lines were choked with produced sand and paraffin. Also, the lines were bent at acute angles at several points and had various internal diameters. One of the lines required installation of a liner into the existing steel pipe, which had to be free of debris. Before cleaning commenced, the operator removed sections with acute bends and replaced them with straighter sections. Pig launchers were installed at strategic points along the line. The pigs were fitted with transmitter units that allowed tracking progress of the pigs by use of the company's remotely-operated SmartTrack tracking and pressure-monitoring system. To clean the lines, a four-step cleaning program was carried out with special cleaning pigs: a medium-foam pig, an OptionAll 2CC pig, an OptionAll 2CC pig with brush, and an OptionAll pig with gauge plate. Every step involved multiple runs with each type of pig. With each successive run, the pressure of the line dropped and flow increased. Approximately 12 m3 of sand and paraffin was removed, allowing crude to flow
much faster.

The best analysis comes from Glenn Greenwald. And why do people not like Glenn Greenwald? I don't get it.
Some adolescent criminal (in mentality if not age) yesterday hacked into a Yahoo account used by Sarah Palin for both personal and business email, and various sites — including Gawker — posted some of the emails online. While the bottom layers of the right-wing noise machine (the kind that make you run for the shower after reading them) are moronically describing the hacker(s) as "liberals" and "left-wing," nobody actually has any idea of their identity, let alone their political leanings (if any). The available evidence strongly suggests the hacker is loosely part of an assorted band of Internet pranksters ranging from the juvenile to the psychopathic. Conventional political agendas ("Vote Obama!") don't exactly appear to be their interest. Either way, whoever did this committed a serious crime — it's rather revolting to see screen shots of someone's inbox splattered across the Internet — and the hacker should be apprehended and prosecuted.
Still, it's really a wondrous, and repugnant, sight to behold the Bush-following lynch mobs on the Right melodramatically defend the Virtues of Privacy and the Rule of Law. These, of course, are the same authoritarians who have cheered on every last expansion of the Lawless Surveillance State of the last eight years — put their fists in the air with glee as the Federal Government seized the power to listen to innocent Americans' telephone calls; read our emails; obtain our banking, credit card, and library records; and create vast data bases of every call we make and receive and every prescription we fill and every instance of travel and other vast categories of information that remain largely unknown — all without warrants or oversight of any kind and often in clear violation of the law.
I mentioned earlier that if you're going to pull this off you had better be pretty good at your hacking skillz. So far it doesn't look good. The hack doesn't even look all that elegant. I guess if you're Batman people might figure out that only a billionaire who runs Wayne industries could afford all those cool gadgets.
Probable first suspect:
State Rep. Mike Kernell confirmed Thursday that his son, a University of Tennessee-Knoxville student, is at the center of heated Internet discussion into the hacking of the personal e-mail of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
Kernell, a Memphis Democrat, confirmed that it is his 20-year-old son, David, who is being widely named on Internet blogs and chatrooms in connection with an unfolding story about Palin's hacked e-mail accounts.
And its not a good sign when the Secret Service gets involved. Not to mention the FBI…run Batman run!
The FBI and Secret Service launched a formal investigation Wednesday. Yahoo declined to comment Thursday on details of the investigation, citing Palin's privacy and the sensitivity of such investigations.
The person who claimed responsibility for the break-in did not respond Thursday to an e-mail inquiry from The Associated Press.
"i am the lurker who did it, and i would like to tell the story," the person wrote in the account, which circulated on the Internet. What started as a prank was cut short because of panic over the possibility the FBI might investigate, the hacker wrote.
Investigators were waiting to speak with Gabriel Ramuglia of Athens, Ga., who operates an Internet anonymity service used by the hacker. Ramuglia told the AP on Thursday he was reviewing his own logs and promised to turn over any helpful information to authorities because the hacker violated rules against using the anonymity service for illegal activities.
"If you're doing something illegal and causing me issues by doing this, I'm willing to cooperate," Ramuglia said. "Obviously this is the most high profile situation I've dealt with."
