Rain Plays SWTOR: Why Do We All Hate Makeb?

Viri has been going through the GSI dailies on Makeb to bump my GSI reputation up to Legendary, and it's given me time to really think about the planet, and the Rise of the Hutt Cartel story as a whole. I tend to take my characters through Makeb just to spend more time with them, and to enjoy the scenery. Having said that, most players seem to detest Makeb and skip it. It's weird. Makeb has: 1. Some of the most beautiful scenery ever seen in the game.

2. Some really stunning design for the houses and gardens. Seriously. Look at this.

3. Really, really nice decos available from the reputation vendor. 4. Other really nice decos' designs are based on Makeb. 5. A departure, mostly, from the Imps vs. Pubs!! storyline that some of us had grown so bored with. 6. Some interesting creatures such as the exoboars and underwalkers. We all love the exoboars in Vaylin's palace, don't we?

And yet, it's still loathed. The question becomes: why do we hate Makeb? There are a lot of very valid reasons. 1. We don't get to bond with the NPCs we meet, nor do they play any critical part in story before or after. With the exception of Doctor Oggurobb, Darth Marr and Chancellor Saresh, the NPCs with whom we interact in the entirety of the Makeb expansion are neither seen nor heard from again. We're kept at arms' length from them. This is different from both the class stories and Shadow of Revan, where the characters we meet become regular presences in our toons' stories. 2. The romances...aren't. When RotHC was first released, Makeb was called "the gay planet" and a lot was made of the fact that the expac contained the game's first same-gender romances. Considering LGBT+ players got absolutely nothing in the class stories, this was a Very Big Deal. However, the romances fall very flat. For one thing, they're restricted by class. If you're Imperial, there's no wlw for you. If you're Republic, there's no mlm. The moment that a male OC can have with Lord Cytharat feels like it can work - it's essentially an "I was so scared for you, and I care, and don't ever do that again" sort of moment. The wlw romance, on the other hand, really doesn't feel like one, at least to me. Lemda Avesta never seems particularly into the player's character. As a wlw, I usually avoid this romance because it feels so awkward and forced. 3. It's really grim. Almost the entire time you're on Makeb, you know the planet is about to be destroyed. Anything beautiful you're seeing is about to disappear. People have lost their homes. It's pretty grim. There's no happy ending on Makeb. Like, none. The planet dies. Even though it's physically saved, nobody can live there anymore for any length of time. Lots of people die, including some that work with the PC. There's no way to save them in some cases. Even though each side does have a win - the Makeb citizens escape in the Ark; and the Empire gets its isotope -5 - it's very empty because so much tragedy surrounds it all. While Star Wars isn't sunshine and rainbows, there's usually something positive to perk up a reader/player even in the darkest storylines. At the end of Revenge of the Sith, there's the promise of baby Leia and Luke, both being raised in safety. At the end of Empire Strikes Back, Luke's got a nice new hand, he's safe on a Rebel Alliance ship and he's reunited with Leia and the droids. At the end of SWTOR's class stories, the player has triumphed somehow in their own field, and they usually have controlled their own destiny in some way. Makeb doesn't have that, and I think it makes a difference for replays. 4. It may hit too close to home. Makeb is dying because people exploited its natural resources for profit. Hmmm. We've heard that before in our own world, haven't we? The mining causes groundquakes. In our world, fracking is said to cause earthquakes. Not only that, but seeing the houses crushed by groundquakes can hit a little close to home to anyone who lives in an area with lots of earthquakes, or has witnessed the destruction they can cause. While I don't think any sort of environmental message was intended with Makeb, I do think there are things about it that can, even subconsciously, make us feel uncomfortable. 5. The maps and mobs.

For me, the maps of Makeb are not nearly as frustrating as some of the ones on Taris, Balmorra and Hoth. For one thing, the land is divided into individual little mesas so you're not covering large swaths of ground the way you do on a planet like Alderaan or Tatooine. Having said that, they can still be daunting. And unlike other planets, there's often no real way to go off the beaten path. If you do, you just might plunge to your death over the edge of the mesa. Making this more problematic: the mobs. There are a lot of enemy NPCs, and they are everywhere, and you often have no choice but to plow right through them. This makes navigating very tedious. If you're a lower level, it can also make getting from Point Aurek to Point Besh very difficult. Also, if you have a fear of heights, you may really, really hate this planet. It's nothing but sheer drops and light bridges across chasms in this nook of the galaxy. 6. The gameplay can be very repetitive. A number of the quests just have the player doing the same or similar actions over and over again. It gets boring. 7. The heroics are hell. Makeb heroics are incredibly long, complicated and overly tedious. They can literally take as long as some of the very short flashpoints, with ridiculously high difficulty in some cases. I don't think most of us bother with them. 8. It feels very detached from the rest of the story. Nothing we do on Makeb matters. Or so it seems. What our characters accomplish in the class story, or Oricon, or Shadow of Revan seems to make an impact. RotHC, on the other hand, is something we can literally skip over without it having any repercussions. The only time it seems to come up with any significance is in Onslaught, where it's mentioned that the Empire still has some ships fueled with isotope-5. But even that is said in passing...and if your character never did Makeb, the ships are still fueled. If you're a Republic character, Oggurobb has very little to say to you about Makeb - except to tell you that you've aged badly since then (thanks, dude). 9. Some of the classes don't seem to fit. Oddly, you would think the underworld characters - the smuggler and bounty hunter - would be peas in a pod here. They're not. You really can't find much of a reason for the smuggler to suddenly be interested in saving a planet's humanity. The bounty hunter isn't given any clear targets to assassinate. It's one of the times where certain classes seem to be really out of place. 10. And there isn't much said about our individual classes. Each class does get an individualized intro cut scene, as well as some NPCs referring to them as Master Jedi or Dark Lord or whatever, but there's really not much difference doing this as a Jedi or a Trooper, a Sith or an Agent.

11. The Force isn't a part of things. It's weird. When things in SWTOR are entirely focused around the Force, it does exclude the non-Force using classes to some extent. When it's completely absent, though, it feels wrong, too. On Makeb, our little space wizards find that there's nothing specific to the Force for them to care about. The alignment of the planet isn't mentioned. No ruins. No weird artifacts someone's left in their mansion. Nothing. It feels slightly disconnected taking a Force user through these areas. To me, Makeb feels like it had more potential than it received. I've read more than once that there were several other planets intended for expacs that were scrapped; perhaps with them, and a wider arc, Makeb would have played differently. All the same - come here for the scenery. You probably won't want to stay for the gameplay.

Surprise! There’s actually a PART TWO to your Secret Santa gift @ubilupus! I didn’t know whether you wanted an AH or canon story, so I wrote BOTH! The two go together, as they both concern Jasper and Alice passing notes at the Law Library at the University of Michigan.

Summary: Jasper’s studying is interrupted. Post-BD.

Title: Apricity

Words: 1,401

Rating: G/K+

Read on: AO3 or FFN

Jasper sat in the grand Reading Room of the Law Library, soaking in the other students’ anxiety and releasing tranquility. It was only a few days before finals at the University of Michigan, and the Reading Room was packed with students eager for a quiet place on campus to study, due to the strict no-talking policy enforced at the Law Library. Jasper had witnessed several students throw out one of their own for a stray cough or cacophonous giggle. Jasper was doing his best to ease the tension in the room and provide a bit of supernatural focus. He himself was very engrossed in his textbook for his torts class. There were so many new cases to read about since the last time Jasper had gone to law school.

When Carlisle had announced his intention to return to medical school himself, the family had quickly decided they would all enroll as students and--as Emmett would say--give it the ole college try. It had been a while since the family had all gone to college together. Renesmee had already gone to college once--on her own, to get the true experience as Edward had explained it (Bella had scoffed at that). The family was spread across the school, in different majors and years. Rosalie was a sophomore majoring in Business, whereas Emmett was a junior majoring in Economics. They were planning an elaborate classroom romance for next semester.

Bella and Edward had decided to start as freshmen like Renesmee, though they had agreed to give her as much space as she needed. Bella had returned to her comfort of English Literature, while Edward set his sights on a degree in Classical Studies. Renesmee had majored in Biology her first go around, and was planning on expanding her knowledge through exploring Biomedical Engineering this time. Jacob had thought it would be funny to attend a rival school--“Cause some things just never die” he had joked with a smug grin--and had instituted a year-long bet on the outcomes of every Michigan vs Michigan State game, no matter the sport. Emmett was thrilled by the idea, and he and Jacob spent many hours cheerfully ribbing the other over their school’s sports team’s various wins and losses. Rosalie and Renesmee, on the other hand, found the whole thing utterly annoying.

Esme had vacillated between several graduate programs, before ultimately selecting a path in social work. She adored her classes and the opportunity to be a GSI and return to her teaching roots, and spent her free time refinishing and reupholstering the antique furniture she had purchased for their new house. And Alice was busying herself as a junior in Art and Design, as well as delighting in telling people that she was Edward’s older sister, enjoying their confusion as they processed the height difference.

Like she knew he was going to think of her--which she probably did--Alice’s honeysuckle and lilac scent suddenly drifted into the Reading Room. Jasper breathed her scent in deeply as it swirled around him like a caress. Alice stood at the far end of the hall, her beauty striking him dumb as always. She was dressed simply, all in black. Her knee-length black coat was unbuttoned, flaring out at her waist, revealing a form-fitting black cashmere dress. It must’ve started to snow outside, for a light dusting of crystalline snowflakes coated her ensemble. Alice shook the snowflakes out of her hair with a gentle flick of her hand. She glided over to him, her high-heeled boots effortlessly silent as only a vampire could be. Jasper held up a finger in warning as she approached his table. Alice gave an inaudible sigh, sinking into the chair across Jasper as he wrote a message to her on his notebook.

What are you doing here? I thought you had claimed the kiln for the next several hours.

There’s going to be a blizzard tonight. Emmett’s planning a snowball fight in the Arb at midnight.

The Arb, formally known as the Arboretum, was a stretch of forest, fields, and flowers protected and cultivated by the University. A river ran through the park, and the acreage was enough that the Cullens could play baseball or any other game without disturbing the other students. Stepping into the Arb was like entering another world and leaving the University far behind. Almost like walking through the wardrobe to Narnia.

I’ll be there.

I know. Alice added a spiral flourish to the ends of her letters. But I was thinking we could head over to the Arb early, just you and me, and scope out the terrain.

Jasper could feel the innuendo through the subtle change in Alice’s emotions. He smirked as he jotted down his response.

I really should finish this reading.

Alice’s emotions turned towards annoyance.

Why? I know that you’re going to pass, whether you stay here and read or come with me. So why not leave this place and have a little fun? You’ve been here for hours.

I like the atmosphere. You should appreciate it, too. It’s very beautiful. Maybe it’ll give you inspiration for one of your finals.

Alice scoffed, but her eyes lifted to the high ceiling with its elaborate design. Jasper felt her appreciation as she took in the stained glass windows, the Gothic arches, the stone and woodwork that evoked a sense of arcane knowledge. He watched the subdued electric light that emanated from the chandeliers reflect and twinkle in her eyes.

See? Stay a while, darlin.

Alice read Jasper’s message with a furrowed brow. She briskly wrote him back.

Why are we even passing notes? We can speak so quietly that no one would ever hear us.

It’s the principle of the thing.

Alice rolled her eyes.

C’mon, Jazz. I’ve been handling clay all afternoon. I’d much rather run my fingers over...marble.

Alice’s dainty fingers danced over Jasper’s thigh. He stifled a groan he knew would get him kicked out of the library, and gingerly removed her hand. He gave an apologetic rub of his thumb across the back of her hand as he drew his back. Alice begrudgingly returned her hands to herself. She propped her elbows on the table, interlaced her fingers, and lowered her chin to sit atop her hands. She batted her dark eyelashes at Jasper and pouted.

Temptress.

Alice laughed silently. She radiated joy, and Jasper could not help softening under her gaze. Even now, decades after their first meeting, Jasper still felt the same sense of awe as he had in that diner in Philadelphia. Alice’s emotions were so wonderfully pure and magnificent; a dazzling light in a sea of darkness. They reminded him every day how lucky he was to have her. How lucky he was that she found him and brought hope and love and purpose back into his life.

Jasper unzipped the bag that sat at his feet, closed his textbook, and deposited it into the bag. Alice raised an eyebrow at the action. She quickly scribbled a message on the notebook before Jasper could pack it away.

So that’s a yes?

You know I can’t say no to you.

Grinning broadly, Alice swept the notebook and pen off the table, clutching them to her chest. She darted out of the library as fast as the human charade would allow. Laughing to himself, Jasper hoisted his bag over one shoulder and followed his wife out into the Quad.

Outside, Alice was gazing at a tree whose branch was curved, heavy with the accumulating snow. Icicles hung from the other branches like teardrop silver necklaces. The fresh snow sparkled prettily, as if thousands of minuscule diamonds were coating the ground.

“You know, maybe I will stay and sketch a while,” she teased. “Nothing like campus in the winter.”

Jasper swept Alice up in his arms, twirling her in a circle as snow flurries fell around them. He brought her close to him and kissed her deeply, her feet dangling in the air. Slowly, Jasper lowered Alice to the ground, but he didn’t break their kiss till her boots nestled in the snow.

“I don’t think so, ma’am,” he said cheekily.

And though the sun was hidden by a grey sky, Jasper could swear he felt its warmth spread through his body as Alice took his hand and skipped down the street.

Self-Insert Characters And Their Sub-types.

Self-Insert (or SI) characters are interesting. They come around when a writer or artist decides to use the person they theoretically know best to act as the main character of their story; themselves.

There’s a few sub-types and, often, overlap between them. It’s not uncommon for a Self-Insert to qualify as more than one at any given time and a few cases might even go on to check almost every single box (this isn’t something you should go out with an intent to do, just saying). Seeing as I have an article on Writing Self-Inserts already, I’ll use this one to focus on the pros and cons of the various sub-types.

The Friend Insert (FI)

Slightly more removed from the self as your typical Self-Insert character, this is when the writer uses a friend of theirs as their story’s focal point. These are usually the stars of collaborative projects that take advantage of both the writer’s superior fandom experience and their friend’s fresh-eyed approach to the material.

These have an advantage of being less susceptible to the most common weaknesses of the Self-Insert in being too knowledgeable about the setting and ‘plot’ they’ve been inserted into and being able to side-step most of the temptation of immediate wish-fulfillment... though they have their own disadvantages in that, as a collaborative work, any upsets in the relationship can affect the story, and that schedule conflicts might cause update times to get pushed back.

The Self-Insert OC (or SI-OC)

Technically speaking, they’re not a Self-Insert proper - they’re an OC that functionally acts like a Self-Insert without betraying too many details about the Author’s actual life. They have the advantage of being less close to home in terms of personal issues and make it easier to deal with strangers reading your fic, but you also have to put more effort into them than you would with a regular Self-Insert because now you can’t just copy down your own personality and backstory now.

The thing about SI-OCs is that every Self-Insert becomes one sooner or later. Your SI is getting character development you’ll probably never get because you’re - hopefully - not going to actually go through the shit you’re putting them through.

The Connecticut Yankee (or CY-SI for convenience, because Connecticut is kind of hard to spell off the cuff)

One of the oldest sub-types, if mostly because Mark Twain managed to get the spirit of the Self-Insert with his story, A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur’s Court, back in 1889. The CY-SI is a character who’s main weapon is knowledge. Specifically, an encyclopedic expertise on... well, pretty much anything the author has an interest in, combined with the ability to make it, allowing them a ‘unique’ edge in the new world they’ve found themselves in.

Yeah, you can already guess at how easy it is for this one to go horribly wrong in the hands of a writer without a strong sense of restraint. Even Twain fell prey to this one with the original Yankee, allowing band of 52 boys and one average 19th-century dude military victory over 30,000 knights with the power of electrocuting the fuck out of everyone. Even the most clever ways of evening the odds can become really obnoxious in practice if taken that far... hell, even 52 versus 3,000 would have been unbelievable, even without taking into equation the actual science of why that wouldn’t have worked.

The most important thing about writing this sub-type is believability.

You need to do your research on what the technology and tactics your character is bringing to the table is really capable of. Twain’s work suffered from several misunderstandings, mostly on the point of how armor worked - not only was the armor he was using inappropriate for the period of time he was working with, he didn’t understand the weight and freedom of movement plate armor really had or that the leather and cloth layers separating a knight from his metal armor would have offered protection from electrocution.

Not only that, it has to make sense for the character to know these things. The average human being does not know the exact blend of ingredients needed to make gunpowder, what molds can be used to produce penicillin, how to make dynamite, or any number of other things, much less be a veritable encyclopedia on all of those possible subjects. However, if they are a highly specialized researcher or have structured their entirely life around a specific subject - gun history enthusiasts are a good example of this -, it makes more sense. There is also the merits of having some manner of computer or database to remember the finer details for them.

There is also the suspension of disbelief to take into equation. Like as was mentioned with the 52 untrained boys + 1 regular 19th century dude winning vs 30,000 trained knights thing mentioned earlier, there’s a balance between believable science and what you can believe as a reader if the narrative grants too much success to too small an effort. There’s a sense of proportion to be respected there and having a perfect, no-fail, flawless victory run isn’t reasonable or entertaining for a story.

I’m not saying your character has to fail constantly or regularly, but there’s no drama or tension in battles where there was only ever one contender on the field.

The Ghost Self Insert (GSI)

One of the rarer types I’ve personally seen is the Ghost. This is a Self-Insert who has little to no physical impact on the world they’ve been sent to because they don’t have a physical form. This can be because they are a ghost or, in other cases, a secondary personality for a canon character or OC.

Usually, they don’t have much ability to affect or change things, as they are limited to advising the few people - usually only one or two, with any others being a surprising revelation - that can perceive them, though a few have exhibited the ability to ‘take over’ their hosts/victims for short spans of time.

An interesting way to give a canon character or OC a sounding board for their plans or even a second hand source of common sense, this sub-type can also cross over with Reincarnation-type Self Inserts.

Reincarnation-type Self-Inserts (RSI)

Slightly trickier than the average bear. While the RSI neatly sidestep the usual issues of how the SI is able to adapt to the setting both socially and physically in the most natural way, often leading to them becoming SI-OCs thanks to either memory loss or character development especially if you pick the Reincarnated As Canon Character Sub-subtype, they often fall victim to other problems.

The biggest one is the threat of the Slow Crawl Start. Not every Reincarnation-type gets hit with this one, but there are enough that decide that the story has to start immediately before the rebirth of the character and cover the infancy and toddlerhood of the character. This is usually a pretty big turn-off for most readers unless you can make these relatively boring things more interesting... which I’ve seen done pretty much once by someone who decided a baby with the mentality of an extremely bored young adult would be a great person to give Killing Intent to.

They were right. It was hilarious. But I wouldn’t recommend this approach to anyone else except under very specific circumstances. Skip to an age where your character is speech capable and actually interacting with the world in a meaningful way, because spending multiple chapters following a very smart baby that is very much confused by their lack of mobility and sensory capability isn’t very interesting.

I’ve also seen variants where the SI reincarnates as an animal. This is even trickier, because it adds in a further aspect to the Slow Crawl Start - the process of learning how not to be terrible at being a dog/cat/lizard/dragon/owl/whatever.

7 Tips Every Camper Should Know About Campfire Cooking

A little scared about cooking over an open flame? Try not to be. Open air fire cooking is simple with these privileged insights, beginning with: Pack a Dutch stove.

Manufacture the Right Fire

First of all: Never light a fire until you are certain you are building it in a protected spot. In the event that you don't have a flame pit, search for a detect that is free of free earth, grass, and garbage inside a 10-foot border of your site. Scout for any tree roots, as well, says Sarah Huck, coauthor of Campfire Cookery: Adventuresome Recipes and Other Curiosities for the Great Outdoors ($30, amazon.com): They can without much of a stretch burst into flames. Also, avoid low-hanging branches. A decent standard procedure is to have multiple times the stature of the flame in unhindered overhead space.

Following stage, says Huck: Determine the motivation behind your open air fire. On the off chance that it will be utilized distinctly for cooking, she prescribes "the tracker's flame": Position two lower leg thick bits of dead, dry wood in an unpleasant V shape, with the sticks six to eight inches separated at the top and three to five inches separated at the base. Spot tinder (Huck uses dry pine needles, greenery, or folded paper) in the V. Utilizing little bits of bark wood or twigs (between the thickness of a match and a bit of chalk), construct a teepee around the tinder. Light and gradually feed the flame extremely dry logs that are about the size of your arm (Huck's preferred kind of wood is maple or oak; she says they are the most steady when consuming).

In case you're hoping to cook over a flame that will later be utilized for amusement purposes (i.e., singing pit fire melodies, recounting to apparition stories), Huck prescribes the conventional teepee technique, which will consume longer and all the more relentlessly. Spot the tinder in your assigned flame zone and manufacture a teepee of bigger stays it. As the flame consumes, keep on including greater logs; cautiously position them with the goal that they edge toward the flares to abstain from covering the flame. Include each sign in turn, enabling it to consume a piece before including another; along these lines, you'll abstain from making a flame that all of a sudden ends up unmanageable.

Get the Right Gear

The conspicuous likely bears rehashing: Plastic can dissolve, so utilizing metal utensils is significant, says Julia Perry, an educator for the REI Outdoor School in Chicago and the Wilderness Medicine Institute. For a similar explanation, she prescribes skipping pots and skillet with elastic covered handles (rather, utilize an aluminum pot lifter, similar to Open Country Aluminum Pot Lifters, $4; REI.com). Your most logical option is to go with utensils that are explicitly made for the outside. Her pick: GSI Outdoors Pioneer Enamelware Chef's Tools ($25 for a spoon, scoop, and spatula; REI.com).

Hard core calfskin gloves and durable close-toed shoes that can take heat from nearness to an open air fire will likewise give a layer of assurance from hot surfaces, coals, and ashes.

Pick Your Cooking Method

There are an assortment of approaches to cook over a pit fire, contingent upon your nourishment decision. Stick to great good old stick cooking on the off chance that you are wanting to broil marshmallows or wieners. Need to grill? Swing an open air fire amicable metal barbecue grind over the blazes. (The Texsport Heavy-Duty Swivel Grill can without much of a stretch be staked into the ground and situated over a flame pit at a tallness that is ideal for safe open air fire barbecuing; $44, amazon.com.) Paul Kautz, maker of CampfireDude.com, likes cooking with a Dutch stove when outdoors; he feels the pot gives you about as much adaptability as cooking in the kitchen. Cast-iron Dutch broilers ($36, amazon.com) can be really substantial, so they are most appropriate for long haul stationary outdoors, he says. Pick an aluminum or hard anodized Dutch broiler ($68 to $140, amazon.com) for progressively easygoing excursions.

Comprehend What Not to Cook

Nourishments that can make hot, drippy fat as they cook—duck bosom, steak, bacon—may cause flare-ups and ought to be kept away from, says Huck, regardless of whether you're cooking them in a dish. In the event that conceivable, renounce nourishments that should be seared or require any sort of oil. In the event that you should sear around the open air fire, Huck proposes utilizing a Dutch stove, which offers more solid warmth than a skillet with included assurance from splatters.

Know the "Threat Zone," Too

Hauling crude meat or poultry out of your ice chest for your trip? Ensure you keep the nourishment all around pressed in ice paving the way to flame broil time: Bacteria can develop hazardously on nourishment that warms to between 40 degrees Fahrenheit and 140 degrees Fahrenheit, conditions that make a reproducing ground for nourishment borne pathogens. Make certain to pack up remains immediately, as well: Food ought to never sit out for over two hours—or 60 minutes, if the open air temperature is 90 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, says Shelley Feist, the official executive of the Partnership for Food Safety Education.

When barbecuing, consistently utilize a meat thermometer. Nourishment should be warmed to between 140 degrees Fahrenheit and 165 degrees Fahrenheit to slaughter any nourishment borne pathogens. "You can't tell if nourishment is cooked by seeing it," says Feist. For more in-depth information I highly recommend metal grill grate .

Holiday Gift Guide 2017

It's time again to start thinking about getting a gift for the outdoorsy person in your life! If you're at a loss for what to get the hikers you care about something unique, let my holiday guide help you.

STOCKING STUFFERS

GSI long-handled silicone spoon - VERY necessary for those who eat pre-made freeze-dried meals! This guy will get down into the nooks and crannies of even the longest bag meal. Hikertrash Stickers - I don't know a single hiker who doesn't love putting stickers on just about everything they own. Help them rep their Hikertrash status proudly! Sawyer Mini water filter - Being able to have clean water on the go is very necessary for anyone who spends any time outdoors. These compact filters are super easy to use and easy to clean. Klymit Pillow X - Makes a great pillow for backpackers and a good seat on a day hike too! Therm-a-Rest Z seat - In case your hiker isn't a fan of things that can pop on the trail, consider this Z seat instead of the Klymit Pillow. MSR Piezo Ignitor - If your hiker uses a canister fuel stove, this thing is amazing! Lightweight and doesn't require fuel like a lighter. Never worry about running out of fluid again.

Under $30

Road ID - Have piece of mind when your hiking buddy is out solo. These bracelets (or shoe charms) can hold emergency info and some charms too. Darn Tough Socks - The only socks I've found that can keep up with the abuse I put them through - and that's saying a LOT! A Scratch-off Map of the US - for the hiker trying to hit every state (or every high point!) this fun multicolor map is a great way to keep track of your travels in the US. A US National Parks Scratch-off Map - Just in case you're trying to get all those parks in there too ;) An Anker Portable Charger - A lightweight charger that won't break the bank. Great for those who use their phones to listen to music or podcasts in the tent at night. GSI Microflip Mug - This mug is vacuum sealed to keep your coffee or tea hot on the way to the trailhead on those early mornings.

Under $50

MSR Pocket Rocket 2 - A new stove is never a bad thing! This guy can boil water in 3.5 minutes. Black Diamond Storm Headlamp - 350 lumens to keep the trail bright when you're night hiking or getting in those before dawn miles. A Mountain Ring - Let's face it, sometimes lady hikers want to look nice (and sometimes we even have to go to places in the "real world"). This ring will let her take the peaks wherever she goes. White Blaze Pendant - This unisex Appalachian Trail pendant comes on polycord and is adjustable. In fact, check out ALL of Tarma's jewelry. Dirty Girl Gaiters - Keep debris from your shoes and look good at the same time.

Splurge Items

A Handmade Replica Trail Sign - Handmade to match nearly any sign, these will definitely make your favorite hiker's heart skip a beat. Suunto Traverse Series Watch - For the hiker who loves data and stats, this watch will leave a trail of breadcrumbs and show the trails in the area right on the wrist. Excalibur Food Dehydrator - For the hiker who loves eating well in the backcountry! This 9-tray dehydrator will make huge batches of jerky, meals, and more. Helinox Chair One - Because being comfortable shouldn't mean breaking your back trying to carry that chair to camp.

These are just a few of the things I'd love to see as a holiday gift this year. What are some of your favorite gifts to give?

SWTOR: Galactic Seasons objectives

The objectives for Galactic Seasons have been datamined and meticulously listed by someone on Reddit. A few takeaways:

1. Every single weekly objective requires grouping. It's Ops, World Bosses, PvP, etc. They seem to even discourage playing with friends - the Veteran flashpoint objective specifically requires going through groupfinder, for example.

2. The daily objectives look a lot like conquest objectives.

I'm guessing a lot of people are going to be playing this and trying to get the objectives, at least at first. Unfortunately it means there might be more crowds which means more ninjas and mob thieves. For those of you like me who solo and like quiet areas, well, it's not our day.

Looking at the new GS objectives, it seems as though there might be a few very specific trouble spots. I'm listing the ones which seem to yell, "If you want a character to do these things without stress, do them NOW." I am not marking this for spoilers because there's nothing about story in here.

Areas with reputation that are being added as GS objectives:

1. Oricon

2. Yavin 4

3. Rishi

4. Iokath

5. Onderon

6. Ossus

7. Section X

8. CZ-198

1. Daily PO: Defeat Home World Enemies - Defeat non-player opponents across Hutta, Korriban, Ord Mantell, or Tython.

I dearly hope this objective is gated to the lower levels, because otherwise it's going to be a nightmare. The only starter planet that has fully instanced heroics (ie, an opportunity to kill mobs without interfering with other players) is Korriban. The other three? Nope. Most of the mobs are open world, and players just starting new characters need them - to level up, to fulfill their story and side missions, and often to practice a new class or advanced class.

I'd like to think the devs have had some foresight on this but, well, you know. If you have a character on a starter planet, you might want to finish up before 6.3 comes out.

2. Daily PO: Makeb Daily GSI Missions - Complete [DAILY] GSI Missions on Makeb

RIP to one of the most relaxing sets of missions in the game. The Makeb GSI dailies take you through waterfalls and bucolic landscapes, and there's little combat. The only trouble is that there are also very limited objectives in each area. If even three players are looking for them simultaneously, it can be tough to find what you need. Throw in players who have been specifically directed to the missions for GS? Yeah.

Between items 3 and 4, I think doing Shadow of Revan might suck for a while. I'm planning on trying to rush a few characters through, even if it means they need to go back and do Makeb and Ilum afterward out of order.

3. Daily PO: Yavin 4i Daily Missions - Complete [DAILY] Missions on Yavin 4. Daily PO: Defeat Seat of the Empire Enemies - Defeat non-player opponents across Oricon, Taris, Yavin, or Dantooine.

This, to me, is going to be a real problem. Yavin 4 is already very crowded - you have limited space, they never have enough instances, and you have both players completing SoR and players doing dailies/weeklies in both factions, ALL going for the same objectives. You need the mobs to complete one of the missions (both for story and the weekly/dailies) and now more people will be going after them. Great.

4. Daily PO: Rishi Daily Missions - Complete [DAILY] Missions on Rishi. Daily PO: Defeat Outer Rim Enemies - Defeat non-player opponents across Belsavis, Hoth, Rishi, or Tatooine.

Rishi isn't quite as much of an issue, but: there aren't very many clickable objectives for the missions here, and they're all open world. Also, the mobs needed to find the parts in Pieces of 8 are the same ones you need for a bonus mission in the SoR story, so there may be a clash here.

5. Daily PO: Oricon Daily Missions - Complete [DAILY] Missions on Oricon. Daily PO: Defeat Seat of the Empire Enemies - Defeat non-player opponents across Oricon, Taris, Yavin, or Dantooine.

The only reason these two are not going to be as much of an issue as Yavin 4 and Rishi is because a lot of people skip this one due to the forced Ops at the end. But you have the same perfect storm: a small area, not enough instances to accommodate them comfortably, both Imperial and Republic players going for the same mobs and objectives, and both story chain and weekly/daily players going for them, too.

6. Daily PO: Section X Daily Missions - Complete [DAILY] Missions on Section X.Complete Section X [DAILY] Missions

Section X is the only daily area I play now, because I actually enjoy it. It's quiet, it's usually not well populated, and it's fun for me. I'm trying to enjoy it as much as I can in these last few weeks before it's more crowded.

7. Daily PO: CZ-198 Daily Missions - Complete [DAILY] Missions on CZ-198. Daily PO: Defeat Unknown Wild Space Enemies - Defeat non-player opponents across CZ-198, Ilum, or Iokath.

If you've been to CZ-198 when there are even 15 people in the instance you know how annoying it can be. Adding more? Yep. Good luck ever getting that droid now. Of course we know the stock answers to anyone complaining about this will be "well, group!" and "well, go to the PvP instances," both of which place solo players in positions they might not want to be in. We also know that even though these concerns have been raised on the Public Test Server, there isn't a huge trend of the devs actually listening to those who have been gracious enough to test. So, do it now.

COVID-19: Indian team among 3 chosen for IBM's Call for Code challenge

New Post has been published on https://apzweb.com/covid-19-indian-team-among-3-chosen-for-ibms-call-for-code-challenge/

COVID-19: Indian team among 3 chosen for IBM's Call for Code challenge

An Indian team, that has designed an app to help individuals to evaluate their symptoms of COVID-19 and connect them with medical professionals, is among the three groups chosen for this year’s edition of IBM’s Call for Code challenge.

Call for Code is a global initiative for developers to solve pressing global problems with sustainable software solutions. While the focus of this year’s competition was on addressing climate change, IBM decided to add tech solutions for addressing the COVID-19 crisis as well.

IBM said it recognised the urgency to act, so it created an accelerated timeline for the Call for Code COVID-19 track. Three solutions – Are you Well? (Indian team), COVID Impact (global team that came together at the University of British Columbia) and Safe Queue (created by a developer in Los Angeles) – were chosen.

The Indian team comprised Deepak Goyal, Chandresh Tiwari, Hitesh Choudhary, Manoj Gupta and Yogesh Kumar and the four work with Altran, which is now a part of IT firm Capgemini.

The team has worked on building a comprehensive medical assistance system that could reduce the stress on over-taxed medical systems.

The app is designed to help individuals evaluate their symptoms, aided by IBM Watson Assistant. It then leverages a global dashboard that assigns cases a high, medium or low level of risk based on thresholds set by healthcare providers.

The system allows them to connect them with medical professionals who could use the data to prioritise cases and offer care in a safer manner.

One of the team members, Deepak Goyal said the solution helps the entire society.

“Starting with the user, it’s a system to get hooked to a medical infrastructure which is not actually in the hospital, because the hospitals can’t take care of everybody at this moment. But it gives them a feeling that the wellness of the people is taken care of,” he said.

He added that the solution also helps medical teams because it gives them the power to take care of more people in less time. “It helps them expand their work without being overworked. It takes care of augmenting and expanding the medical infrastructure,” he said.

Yogesh Kumar, another team member, noted that the solution uses Watson Assistant chatbots on the backend that helped the team speed up the process.

Gaurav Sharma, Vice President at IBM Cloud and Cognitive Software (IBM SW Labs, Global GSI Partnerships & IBM Cloud Paks AP) said countries globally are facing unprecedented challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic and to address some of these challenges, IBM expanded the scope of Call for Code 2020 to include COVID-19 as a separate track.

“The intent was to urge the global developer community to leverage their creativity, collective skills and open source technologies to respond to some of these pressing challenges. I’m excited that one of the winning solutions is from India, which is home to one of the largest growing developer population in the world,” he added.

Since 2018, the Call for Code Global Challenge has grown to over 3,00,000 developers and problem solvers across 168 countries who have participated.

The ‘COVID Impact’ solution was created by a global team that came together at the University of British Columbia, hailing from Canada, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, and Mexico.

The predictive assessment tool aims to reduce the financial impact of COVID-19 on small businesses. It offers a curated list of federal resources for small businesses, and a real-time news feed of sentiment-analysis evaluated articles.

The solution also offers an economic impact heatmap that visualises where need is greatest, which can help officials direct business aid to specific regions or industries.

The third solution chosen was Safe Queue. Created by a single developer in Los Angeles, the solution is a community-driven mobile app that is intended to replace physical lines at shopping centres, small businesses, and polling places with on-demand virtual lines to enable a safer way to manage entry during COVID-19.

It uses GPS location data to create a virtual queue of those within 1,000 feet of a location, allowing employees to control the queue digitally, and validating entry with a randomly generated QR code for each customer.

if(geolocation && geolocation != 5 && (typeof skip == 'undefined' || typeof skip.fbevents == 'undefined')) !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s) if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function()n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments); if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0'; n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0; t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)(window, document,'script', 'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js'); fbq('init', '338698809636220'); fbq('track', 'PageView');

*Originally hiked: August 10, 2019

McGee Creek Canyon is one of those hikes that I’ve been waiting to do, since last year I had to cancel it due to other plans getting in the way. The original overnight permits I got were for Sawmill Pass, which would be a 6,000+ feet elevation gain to the pass. Either way, for some reason I kept checking Recreation.gov to see if other permits were available for the weekend. On the Thursday before, we decided to cancel our permits for Sawmill and head to McGee Creek area.

If you read my last blog for Ruby Lake via Mosquito Flats Hike, we had some trouble with elevation and being out of shape. The last few weeks I did exactly what I said I would need to do to feel better in the mountains! We killed it and I can’t wait to get even in better and better shape for more of these kinds of trips. I fell in love with hiking again and can’t wait for the next trip. Motto: do it for the mountains! Hence, go work out and get your body ready for what you want to do!

Want to read more about the hike? Check out some of the details below and if you want to skip ahead to more pictures and our adventure, it’s at the end. Save the best for last.

What’s in this Guide?

I have put together a lot of information on this hike, so if you want to skip ahead here are some of the sections I will be covering. Enjoy the adventure!

How Do I Get Permits for this Hike?

There’s a couple of ways to obtain permits for the hike. One way is to go onto recreation.gov up to 6 months in advance and reserve permits for McGee Pass. Day use does not require a permit. The other way is to go to a permit office and pick up an overnight permit. The locations of permit offices for the Eastern Sierras are: Permit Issuing Stations. *Note: for this entry the closest permit station is White Mountain Ranger Station.

Go to RECREATION.gov

Click on Inyo National Forest – Wilderness Permits after searching for it

Click on Explore available permits

Under Detailed Availability, click No unless you are a commercial guided trip.

Pick the date you would like to go and the group size.

Under Filters in the Search you can enter the Trail which is McGee Pass and click Show Results.

Scroll down to McGee Pass under the Sites and see if the date is available.

If it is click on the entry date of choice and click Book Now.

Follow the rest of the steps to book the overnight trip.

If you have any questions on this process, please go ahead and contact me.

Directions to Get to McGee Creek Trailhead

The closest permit pick up station is White Mountain Ranger Station Visitor Center, but we ended up picking it up at the Eastern Sierra Agency Center.

About McGee Creek Area

The McGee Creek area is very close to Mammoth Lakes, CA a popular ski area in the Sierra Nevada mountains. If you wish to visit the area, I definitely recommend jumping in and checking out Mammoth Lakes.

McGee Pass Trail

McGee Pass Trail – I must say that the wildflowers weren’t in full bloom when we were there, but I bet earlier this spring it was! There were still many left in the canyon and I’m thinking of making it out during wildflower season. There are a few water crossings, one especially high this year to where the water was up to our knees.

McGee Creek Pack Station

The McGee Creek Pack Station is located very close to the trailhead; it gives you another option to possibly pack in or go for a horseback ride. See more of what McGee Creek Pack Station has to offer on their homepage: https://www.mcgeecreekpackstation.com/pack-trip-vacations

Camping

If you arrive the night before, a good place to camp is McGee Creek Campground. July and August the campground has it’s busiest season, so don’t count on finding a spot mid Summer. We ended up not finding a spot and sleeping near the trailhead. Closest towns are Crowley Lake and Bishop that have campsites and places to stay.

Gear Recommendations

I have a longer list of items that I pack on my trips including some of my Backpacking Gear Ideas. Check those out if you have a moment. The list under here were items I was especially happy I took with me.

Water Shoes – Crocs or you can get something similar like the KEEN Women’s Newport Sandal

Tent – Big Agnes Copper Spur UL Backpacking Tent – we have the 3 person and for this trip the 3 of us slept in the same tent.

Stove – Jetboil Zip Cooking System – I have owned mine for over 6 years and wouldn’t get any other stove.

Towel – Sea to Summit Drylite Towel – This is a towel similar to the one I have owned for over 10 years. I definitely recommend adding this to the packing list especially in the summers when dipping in alpine lakes is a thing.

Mosquito Repellent – Ben’s 100% DEET Mosquito Repellent – much needed still in August.

Hat – Taking it Easy Retro Trucker Cap – Everyone always should bring a hat, this one is special to me because my sister and I designed it and if anything take a look at help us out by buying one and sharing it around.

Water Filter – LifeStraw Gravity Filter – don’t go without this.

Sleeping Pad – VENTURE4th Ultralight Sleeping Pad + Thermarest Zlite Pad – the perfect combination I tell you. I’ve also written a review on the VENTURE4th Sleeping Pad if you want to check it out.

Spice Holder – GSI Outdoors Spice Missile

Soup – NongShim Shin Black Noodle Soup – once again makes the list, seriously good stuff especially if it’s cold and windy outside

amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit0"; amzn_assoc_search_bar = "true"; amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "beyondlimit03-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_title = "My Amazon Picks"; amzn_assoc_asins = "B071LJ1Z29,B01HHUXN5E,B01IOXBAG2,B004UVPDUM,B001Q3KLF4,B00TV2J5IG,B00XWAP2SU,B07GX4HC9H"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "7f0d4582d5a1bb4e6154617d7b25051e";

Blabbering-

I put together a video that is premiering today at 5:00PM PST on YouTube. Please go check it out if you have some time: https://youtu.be/CiHghSOhjHM

Instead of driving up the morning of the hike, we decided to still head out around 5:00pm. Surprisingly traffic wasn’t as bad as we thought it was gong to be. We picked up our permits at the Eastern Sierra Interagency Visitor Center in Lone Pine, this or the White Mountain Ranger Station in Bishop is also a good option to pick up your permit.

We reached the trailhead around 10:00pm and went straight to sleep after putting all our food in the bear boxes. The trailhead also has two vault toilets available and a good sized parking lot. The next morning we woke at 6:30am made some coffee in the back of our Subaru. Before we came out I boiled some eggs that we could have for breakfast and the day after too. After eating and coffee, we packed up and headed on the trail around 8:15am.

getting started

The beginning of the trail is nice a gradual, a perfect warm up for a long hike. The sun didn’t peer out behind the mountain yet, which was extremely nice as we climbed into the backcountry. I was thinking it was smart for us to get a head start early, because I’m sure this canyon gets very hot during the day. With the wind against us, once we were sweating a little it was a bit chilly. After about 2 miles we finally got into the trees, which the sun wasn’t on us just yet but it was getting there. We took a quick break and snacked and continued on.

I was thinking around this time that we hadn’t seen a soul, just one day hiker who started before us and was on his way out. The reason I was thinking about this was that there were over a dozen cars parked in the hikers lot. The spot that we picked to snack was just below Horsetail Falls which we had a great view of it from almost as soon as a mile in from the trailhead.

water crossings

The next couple of miles there were some water crossings, one especially at about 3 miles in where we changed into our Crocs to cross McGee Creek (more like a river). After this water crossing the scale of up in compared to mileage went up drastically. I did enjoy the fact that after a big hill there was a flat portion of the trail almost the entire way to the lake. There was a hill right after this major crossing that leveled out with an amazing view over the creek below. The creek flows in this valley in a few different spots and the water was extremely turquoise. We spotted an old beaver damn as well down there, which I don’t ever recall actually seeing one in person.

About 4 miles in there is another crossing where you end up back on the other side of the creek. I remember getting to the crossing and thinking “Oh my, we might be swimming across”. But literally just around the bend and behind a bush there were two logs that would take you easily across.

much more hills and meadows

I honestly didn’t know exactly how far Big McGee Lake was because there aren’t that many write ups about it, but some sites said 6 miles, some said 8 miles. I kept looking at my Garmin Fenix 5X Plus Watch to see if even the first lake was on my map screen. If I remember correctly about 4.5 miles in there is a turn off to head to Steelhead Lake. Just before this we stopped at a perfect bench (fallen tree) to eat our To Go Wraps for strength to finish of the hike to Big McGee. After the turnoff for Steelhead there was a nice flat stretch. After another lovely uphill we hit the first lake (pond) near the trail, this is a great spot to eat lunch if you are on a day hike. This is where I finally saw a few day hikers taking a rest with a nice view of the lake.

The last 3 miles were gorgeous, we kept being spoiled with more and more views and the meadows we got to go through were spectacular. We got to the lake around 1:30pm and made some soup (NongShim Shin Black Noodle Soup, Spicy) because it was windy and cold.

setting up camp and fishing

Just after we set up camp we set out to fish for a few hours. I MUST say that we had literally best campsite ever. Our Big Agnes Copper Spur Tent fit just perfect in a spot that showed to have a bit of use. We even had a kitchen area with a perfect table and view of the lake. While fishing one by one we jumped in as the clouds and wind allowed us and between the 3 of us we caught 8 fish total just with lures. Unfortunately I lost two lures that I just bought because I wasn’t paying attention and let them drop into the rocks.

Just passed 7:00pm it was getting quite cold so we decided to hit the tent and all 3 of us were fast asleep.

quick coffee and packing up

Since we fell asleep so early, we woke up at 5:30am on our own and fell back asleep till about 7:00am. There’s a reason I come up to the mountains and it’s to get my good sleep apparently. I don’t remember sleeping over 10 hours in a long time. While drinking our coffee we packed up and headed out on the trail by about 9:30am. It was shorts weather, much better than the day before. It took us just under 3 hours to get back to the car and in turn perfect timing to hit lunch at the Burger Barn in Bishop just 20 minutes into our drive.

Hope you guys enjoyed the write up. If you have any questions about this hike or the area, please contact me.
