As you read the question posed below, most of you will be wondering what the 14th Faction were, but download the PDF and all will be revealed !
So this essay from Chris (12 page PDF) was done in response to the following question .......
"I'm trying to clarify an understanding I have of "energies" of the universe.
I understand from CT's books that our universe was created with the idea of what would happen if everyone had free will with the rule of not being able to take away free will from others. If everything is energy, then our universe, along with everything in it would be created within the energy of free will. The action of acting against free will would not be possible because it's not part of the "energy". The 14th Faction arrived ultimately "infecting" our universe with the ability to take away free will.
Now, CT states that the portal the 14th created is now closed as of 2002, so no one can draw on these energies any longer. However, I assume that those energies still exist. In the books that I have read, CT does not state these energies infecting the Velon. I tend to think they have, since they are effectively taking away our free will.
If we generate enough of the free will energies as a mass consciousness, then, will it be possible to reduce those with the "infected" energies? Is this what those mass meditations are aiming at? Is keeping humanity in conflict the "food" for thesenegative energies, which is what is keeping this cycle going?
Basically, I'm trying to make a correlation with the energies of the 14th Faction brought in and to comments from folks like Icke who state that the entities controlling the Illuminati promote conflict, so they can "feed" off the negative energies humans give off.
If the portal is gone, then we become the main source of food for those remaining with the "infected" 14th Faction energies. I believe it is unknown if all 14th Faction entities were removed. "

Sorry about the large print. I don't know what happened? It was never intended to be that large. Something screwy happened when I transferred the data. My computer is acting weird these days??
Michael, I appreciate the large print (really) but I will have to read this again tomorrow, when I am more awake (and a year older). :)
Thank you for posting it. Lots of fodder for thought in here.

This simply means that the higher densities of existence, whether positive or negative in orientation, all recognize that the business of all being and existence everywhere is always that of Consciousness... becoming more and more "Aware."
Awareness is related to "density" of consciousness, so to say. The STS way of achieving "density of consciousness" is to "gain weight" by assimilation of other consciousness units. This is generally promoted as "All is One" and refers to "evil" as a "rebellion" or a fault or something that will ultimately be "done away with."
STO, on the other hand sees "gaining weight" in a different way. It sees that an acknowledgement of the consciousness of "other self" as equal to its own consciousness, in spite of completely different manifestation of that being, is the way to "network" the consciousness so that the Whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
The difference is that the STO guys recognize consciousness as being an "integrative" activity of mutual networking and interdependence because they view all others as self, even if they are different, and therefore seek to help and assist because the other IS self in an absolute internal sense. In this way, Absolute Consciousness, or God is "glorified" by a marvelous diversity of being if you wish to put it in those terms.
The negative guys, on the other hand, play the game in terms of domination, subjugation and absorption of other consciousnesses into "One." . But, they too, understand that the rules of the game posit that in order for them to truly "absorb" into their being these other "consciousnesses," that the "other" must choose to become part of their "self-aggrandizement." An unwilling "food" is, in essence, not "nutritious" so to say. If the consciousness does not choose, it becomes a "poison" to the consciousness that seeks to "eat it." And so they must promote "Oneness" in a very particular way.
Note that both sides acknowledge "Oneness," but in very different ways.
So, we have to understand here that the true Negative Realm agenda is to "eat consciousness." So, this actually prevents an overt "take-over" in literal, physical terms. If an "invasion" was detected, this would mean that the veil would be lifted and all would see the "man behind the curtain" and would be disgusted and turn away. Just as in the "Wizard of Oz," those Ruby Slippers have to be obtained VERY CAREFULLY!
Gathering the essence is an art of great subtlety! The "negative alien plan" is, in its purest sense, STALKING.
The aim of Stalking is to create a completely controlled artificial environment composed of thoroughly predictable human behaviors - made predictable because they have been programmed to respond to cues of conditioning [inculcated through centuries of lies and obfuscations presented in the form of religions] and all of this revolves around a 'story' that is actually untrue, and wholly misrepresentative of the real negative aim.
For centuries these programming signals have been being set up - either because of time travel capabilities, or because of actual historical presence. Various prophets or religious leaders have been influenced to preach, or teach or prophesy philosophies designed to lay a foundation for later take-over - possibly in our present time.
When people begin to get wise, the Negatives simply go back into the past, add something more to the soup to "cover up" the new awareness. This then act as a domino effect and influences our present. Time loops and all that. A lot of people think that the "alien invasion scenario" is a ruse concocted by the government to create the impression that there is a forming "threat," thereby enabling the institution of a New World Order. But, this idea is based on a misrepresentation of the process just described.
The important thing to remember is this:
There is NOT a "unified conspiratorial activity" going on here in the hierarchy of government.
The "divide and conquer" effect is also manifest at this level and suits the alien purposes to a "T."
Such activity at ALL levels is consistent with their program of STALKING, in which confusion and cross-purpose prevents a clear perception on the part of the Stalkees.
Yet, at some deep level there may be a direct conspiratorial interaction between the "secret government" and the negative aliens... but it is unlikely that any name of those involved would be recognized by anyone, no matter how "in the know" regarding the subject.
These "secret superiors" are just that: SECRET. Any organization you can name, or about which you are AWARE, are merely "outer circles."
What is the designed objective of this STALKING? It is two-fold. First, the effect of Stalking is sort of like stampeding a herd of cattle. Bit by bit, they are consolidated into a "negative mode" which consists of the idea of "us vs. them."
Even though, on the surface, it may seem that this "mode" is positive or STO, (i.e. save the world because it is "wrong" or flawed, or blighted with original sin or whatever) the very fact that it is formed in the "dominator" mode of perceiving salvation "outside," means that it can more easily be "taken over" body, mind and soul at a level that is "unseen and unseeable." In other words: Satan CAN and most often DOES appear as an Angel of Light!
It is only at the lower levels of the power structure that many still believe they are playing out the basic 'antagonism' and 'self- protection' roles. They believe that "sending love and light" to those "in need" is appropriate, without realizing that this activity is predicated upon a deep belief that there is something wrong, in error, in rebellion, and thus becomes again, "us vs. them."
There is evidence that extensive implant technology may be used to ensure influenced obedience; yet, a degree of freedom must be conserved through the consciousness due to the essential fact that the valued commodity is consciousness.
A totally drugged, surgically altered and thoroughly programmed psyche is only good for robotic slave-service (and this may also be going on also, by the way). It is in this understanding that we find our way out of the trap. It isn't easy, but it is a way.
The primary object of Negative stalking is to persuade through strongly influenced, but not robotic, behavior patterns, the Free Choice of the targeted CONSCIOUSNESS to align with negative higher-density existence. Because, in the Long Run, the object is the "eating" of functioning units of consciousness by the negative hierarchy, with Free Will intact! It is not good food otherwise!!!!
And this is where physics comes in again... because the CONSERVED ELEMENT OF TRUE CONSCIOUSNESS is the irreducible value of Free Will. The mind of the subject must retain Free Will which distinguishes consciousness as such.
The instant the negative polarization is chosen as a result of true prerogative of Free Will, the "subject" immediately becomes functionally a "part" of the higher-dimensional entity responsible for having induced the choice in the first place, regardless of the deceptive means employed, or the persuasive misrepresentations used in conditioning the terms through which the fateful choice is made.
In other words, confusion, physical and/or emotional/mental pain, exhaustion, blackmail, and even forms of torture are legitimate modes of "persuasion."
Of course, the more subtle the means used, the more value is retained. A "tortured" consciousness is the equivalent to being "overcooked." Many higher level Beings of Darkness are veritable connoisseurs! They particularly relish the subversion of those who are truly pure and strong willed!
There's an immediate PSYCHIC BOND in this relationship to the higher density negative being who is the "handler" of the human "agent" who is now a functional part of his "eater/master," and, the negative hierarchy is proportionately enhanced with every "induction/absorption" of additional members.
In other words: the negative hierarchy is a pyramidal food chain... the apex of the pyramid is comprised of the most persistent of the negative graduates, the one who has stuck it out against every evidence of diminishment, and is the ultimate example of "wishful thinking."
This "Ultimate Wishful Thinking" means that they/it cannot SEE that they do not become God by assimilation and control of other selves... but that the real result is a gradual compaction and implosion and dissolution into primal matter and NON-being.
And here is where physics comes in again to help us get a handle on this conflict: Without duality, there would be no existence to discuss.
>From the One there is bilateral emergence.
Exactly one half joyfully seeks life and creation and play and exploration... a sort of "love of adventure."
The other half expresses a fundamental fear of "losing self" in this play and exploration. This causes it to recoil upon itself and this establishes the "tension" of polarization which is the stuff of which the cosmos is constructed...
This can be more easily understood as "Love of God through others," i.e. by loving others unconditionally, as God, since all are one, even though differentiated; as opposed to "Love of God through self" i.e. believing that love of himself IS love of God, therefore others must love him too!
The one view sees all others AS SELF, and loves All and seeks to serve others.
The other sees only SELF and seeks to appropriate all others to Self to restore equilibrium... to "go back to the Cosmic Sleep of Oneness," so to speak.
One analogy would be the difference between a free and adventurous child that is full of the sense of adventure as opposed to a child that wishes to "own the mother" and cling to her and incorporate her to himself; i.e. Jealousy.
The "Darkness" is, in fact, a State of Consciousness that has existed from the very beginning of individuation and which COVETS ATTENTION FOR ITSELF ALONE.
This consciousness hates, fears and deeply distrusts Creation, and just wants to effectively "roll over and go back to sleep" in eternal union with the "mother/father."
An important point here is: this Negative consciousness arises from the "self viewing self" at the instant of creation and is, therefore, an integral part of creation. It cannot be separated from it because it exists only because of Positive creative inception. Neither can exist without the other. It's that simple.
Negative consciousness is the SELFness of creation - the gravity that draws all that exists back to itself. It is the aspect of the ONE involved in contemplation and rejection of creativity in its own heart, frozen in that moment of "vertigo" experienced at the out-rush of creative energy.
And, because this "state of consciousness" occurs in conjunction with, and precisely because of, Creative potential, or OTHERness, and is, in fact, identified through that factor, it cannot be "done away with" without ALL returning to The ONE and just "going back to sleep."
Thus we see that the efforts to,
"save the world" via "punishment of the wicked," or
"conversion to the light" or
"spiritualizing matter with love,"
...are all expressions of the fundamental desire to UNDO CREATION; to KILL GOD!
Through the idea that "evil/darkness" is a rebellion, a fault, a thing to be done away with, the "twist" is introduced that lays the groundwork for domination and absorption. This is why, even though promulgated "Christian principles" seem to be good and uplifting, and, in fact, CAN be, the fundamental raison is flawed and also expresses itself in Christian history in such ways as the many slaughters that have been instituted in the name of Christianity.
You are in good company Star Flower.
I am completely lost.

On last week I updated my app and submit it ot QA team.
My app is on Ovi store for many months already and it's minor tweak.
Here's brief description of my app: it's yet another stopwatch, it's free
and it shows QGraphicsView in fullscreen mode, draws digits on it
and shows ads from smaato. That's all.
To my surprise my app failed QA review. And it failed it paritally!
It appears that my app is ok for old S60 devices and not acceptable
for new S3 devices.
QA team leave me this message:
> Passed QA with the following issue:
> SUMMARY: The text on Home Screen are not readable in the similar color with the background.
> 1. Download the content.
> 2. Select the downloaded theme and apply.
> ACTUAL RESULT: The text on Home Screen are not readable in the similar color with the background.
> EXPECTED RESULT: Content is displayed on device screen without any issues and is free of any illegibility and cropping issues.
> AFFECTED DEVICES: N97, N97mini, C6-00 and All Symbian^3 devices.
I think this message and whole QA reiview result is a mistake. Message
tells something about theme and homescreen and text on it. But my content
isn't a theme. My app don't provide homescreen widgets. It's simple
Qt app which mostly consists of a QGraphicsView.
I've already mailed publisher support concerning this matters and
for everyone who interested and have powers to help here's my
ticket number from auto mailer response:
[Nokia Publish Support #77340]
Here's more sad about this: automatic support mailer promised response
within 2 business days. It's fourth day and there's no response from
publisher support.
And there's one screen shot from reporting tool that can show all my
unbearable grief and endless sorrow (WARNING: watching screen shot is

Taking advantage of the feeding frenzy, I dropped my spoon into the water, careful to clear the other anglers' lines, and waited for it to hit bottom. After letting it bounce a few times off the wreck (the single hook also helps it not get stuck in structure), I started to jig the spoon back to the surface by alternating between cranking the handle and jerking the rod tip.
After a couple of turns, a big blue attacked my spoon. As I jigged upward, the fish pulled down, nearly ripping the rod out of my hands. At first the fish didn't realize it was hooked. I could feel it thrashing 100 feet below. When I applied pressure, the blue took notice, peeling off line and heading into the wreck. I pulled every trick to apply more pressure — pinching the line, raising the rod tip high, even lightly thumbing the spool. Nothing would stop the blue until it reached the jagged wreck on the bottom.
I winced as the braided line transmitted every head shake, the butt of the rod kicking me in the gut over and over again — I could feel even the sharp edges of the wreck rubbing the line.
Getting the fish to the surface was a long give-and-take battle. Since they are near the top of the food chain, blues aren't used to losing a fight. When the fish saw the boat, its energies were renewed and I had to wait awhile before seeing it again.
Eventually the blue was beat. Since we already had enough fish for the table, I reached down and grabbed the spoon, swinging the big chopper into the boat.
The bluefish thrashed and gnashed on the deck, finally coming to rest, letting me grab it and remove the hook. It measured over 36 inches.
That fish went back in the water, but I knew I would see its friends again.
Blues Are Back
Since then, bluefish have been showing up in their old haunts.
The following spring, we ran to the edge of the continental shelf, looking for blueline tiles and sea bass.
When we arrived at the groundfish-covered bottom, Neill marked something stacked from the bottom, over 250 feet deep, almost to the surface.
Each of us took a guess at what it could be — sand eels, bunker, silversides. When our tiles and bass came up chomped in half, we figured out what we were marking. A quick drop of a 250-gram vertical jig confirmed it. Big blues had invaded the deep.
Even on the 100-fathom curve, the fish were piled up in big columns.
Later in the spring, anglers from Cape Henlopen, Delaware, to Cape Lookout, North Carolina, encountered chopper blues on nearshore wrecks and reefs.
Not only are anglers happy to see these big bluefish, but alpha predators like bluefin tuna and thresher sharks love blues. When you find one species, look for another.
But it wasn't until this spring that the resurgence of big bluefish was complete. That's when the fish returned in full force to the surf of North Carolina's Outer Banks.
Monster bluefish used to be a coastal Carolina tradition, even earning the name Hatteras blues in some circles.
Last spring, the annual migration of surf fishermen arrived at the Outer Banks beaches in search of sea mullet and other panfish that teem in the suds. Instead they found huge schools of slammer bluefish. Each day, local tackle shops weighed in big bluefish from the surf. And the fish are showing up in other hot spots too. From New England to the Old South, bluefish are being caught in the surf, inshore and offshore. Once again, anglers are happy to have the blues.
Trolling, Live-Baiting and Surf-Casting
The basic trolling rig for bluefish calls for a Bimini twist in the main line, connected to 30 feet of 80-pound monofilament with a no-name knot. Tie a 150-pound-test snap swivel to the end of the leader, followed by a large swimming plug or an in-line sinker, then 20 feet of 100-pound mono and a big teardrop spoon.
The live-bait setup uses the same tackle and line configuration as the jigging rig but is rigged with a fish-finder slide and an arm's length of 80-pound mono leader. The fish-finder slide goes over the main line, and an 8/0 hook is snelled to the leader. Between the leader and the main line, a 200-pound-test swivel holds everything together. To encourage a live croaker to swim into the dark depths of certain doom, clip a 6- to 8-ounce in-line sinker to the fish-finder slide.
Two methods have been proven in the surf at Hatteras, in North Carolina: whole finger mullet and big spoons. Whole mullet are fished on a stinger rig built out of wire and featuring a small float and double-hook setup to snare short-striking bluefish.
When the fish are feeding aggressively, surf-casters break out 9-foot rods spooled with 20-pound mono and armed with a 2-ounce glass minnow spoon. A short length of No. 7 wire between the spoon and the main line is a good idea. Use an Albright special to connect the wire to the main line and a haywire twist to secure it to the spoon.

Eva Weinberg of Los Angeles and Michael Stern of Miami were arrested last week by FBI agents who believe they were trying to flee the U.S.
An FBI affidavit says about $2.2 million was wired from Freeney's account by Weinberg, his financial manager, to a company owned by Stern between June 2010 and last October unbeknownst to Freeney.
Freeney is only identified in records by initials but Stern's lawyer Henry Bell confirms the lineman is the purported victim.

Springfield, Mass. -- February 6, 2012 -- Junior guard Alex Berthiaume scored 30 points to lead the Springfield College men's basketball team to a non-conference 85-70 victory over neighborhood-rival Western New England University this evening at SC's Blake Arena.
With the victory, Springfield now raises its record to 15-7, while Western New England falls to 7-14.
The 30 points is just two short of Berthiaume's career-high 32 versus Amherst on December 2 of this season. His 13 field goals in tonight's contest, however, is a season's best. Alex also had four rebounds, two assists, two blocks, and a steal. He was 13-for-20 from the floor and 3-for-5 from 3-point range.
A Springfield, Mass. native, Berthiaume received a fair amount of help from fellow guards Jordan Rote, a senior from Sheffield, Mass., with 15 points, and Nick Sienkiewicz, a freshman from Cranston, R.I., with 14 points. Rote also had three rebounds, three steals, and two assists. Sienkiewicz had perhaps his best game by shooting 6-for-6 from the field, including 2-for-2 from 3-point range.
For the Golden Bears, they too had three score in double-figures. They included senior guard Andre Shaw (New York, N.Y.) with 21 points, sophomore forward Daniel Minto (West Hempstead, N.Y.) with 15, and junior guard Damon Alston (New Britain, Conn.) with 14. Shaw also had six rebounds and was 8-of-11 from the floor, while Minto had a team-high eight rebounds, three steals, and two blocks, and was 6-of-9 from the floor.
The first half was a back-and-forth affair, with 11 lead changes and seven ties. The Pride jumped out to an early 9-4 lead behind seven quick points from Berthiuame just 2:27 into the contest. The Golden Bears, despite early shooting troubles, were able to stay close by hammering the offensive glass.
After an inside bucket from SC senior forward Evan Christner (Voorheesville, N.Y.) evened things at 27-all at the 5:42 mark, Minto connected on back-to-back mid-range jumpers to give the visitors their largest lead of the opening half, 31-27, with 4:44 remaining. The Pride responded with a 7-2 run, punctuated by a three-pointer from Berthiuame to give the hosts back a 34-33 lead at the 2:34 mark. Shaw answered right back with a three of his own from the right wing, giving the Bears their final lead of the half. The next time down the court, Berthiuame drilled a deep three, kick-starting a 5-0 Springfield burst to end the half as the Pride headed into the intermission up 39-36.
A Sienkiewicz lay-up to start the second half pushed the Pride's lead to five, but WNE answered with a 10-2 run, capped off by consecutive triples from Shaw to give the visitors a 46-43 lead. The Pride benefitted from a big run of its own, this time using a 12-3 push over a 3:05 span, after a Berthiuame floater, to earn a 55-49 lead. Shaw cut the lead to three on the next possession with another trifecta, but Springfield went on a 9-2 run over the next 1:57 to take control of the contest. SC led 64-54 with 10:46 remaining.
The Golden Bears would cut it to five at 66-61 with nine minutes straight up left on a free throw by sophomore guard Ryan Mickiewicz (East Longmeadow, Mass.). But three minutes later, the SC lead was up to double-digits. When Berthiaume scored his final bucket with 34 seconds left, the Pride had its largest lead (17) at 85-68.
WNE won the rebounding battle, 35-31. But SC turned it over just nine times in the game, while forcing 15 turnovers of its own.
Springfield had a very good shooting night -- .537 overall, .567 in the second-half alone. SC was also 21-of-26 from the free throw line (.808), Meanwhile, WNE shot .448 from the floor for the game, including .500 from 3-point range (8-of-16). SC sophomore Sean Martin (Rindge, N.H.) had an excellent floor game with eight points, eight rebounds, five assists, and three steals. The last three figures were all team highs.
Springfield will now prepare for a clash with rival WPI for a critical conference contest in Worcester on Saturday afternoon at 2:00 pm.

Is a band really ready for the Super Bowl halftime show if they have to cover other bands' songs — Fergie please don't ever sing "Sweet Child O' Mine again — and bring along guests like Usher?

---- — Capt. Ronnie Faircloth throttled back the twin 225-hp Yamahas and eased Playin Hookey, his big 31-foot Grady White, into one of Lake Murray's hundreds of coves. Swinging into the light southwest wind, he moved forward and dropped the bow-mounted Minn Kota electric motor into the water. The sun had warmed the air into the 60's and the water temperature to 52 degrees.
Mary Gayle and i had come to Columbia, S.C. to attend the Professional Outdoor Media of America (POMA) yearly conference. No trip to this area would be complete without fishing for fresh water stripers on this famous lake. Capt. Faircloth was generous enough to take us out for an afternoon.
With practiced ease he rigged the 7'6" Ugly Stick medium-light action rods with some very lively blueback herring which are found in the lake. Using Abu Garcia 6500 LC reels with 10-lb. test line, he had about 2 1/2 ft. leaders attached to the running line with a barrel swivel. Just ahead of the swivel he used a small sliding egg sinker to get the line down on four of the six rigs.
On the other two he used a bright orange egg float to work the surface. In a matter of minutes we had six rigs trolling out behind, moving very slowly up wind. On one line he put a planer board to put it some twenty feet out to the side of the boat. Although we were using herring for bait, many folks also use the threadfin shad.
"March is a tough time to fish this lake," Ronnie told me. "The stripers are in a pre-spawning time where they do not congregate. They can be almost anywhere. As the spring progresses, we can usually find huge schools of fish especially in the bays with feeder streams."
The action was slow at first. We watched the Garmin GPSmap 4212 for any signs of fish in the water. Although the bottom lit up, we saw very few fish. It stayed like that until we crossed over a steep rise in the bottom. When the ledge rode up from 50 feet to 24 feet, we could see the fish gathered along the structure.
"Fish on!", hollered Hovey Smith, a fellow outdoor writer.
He reached down and removed the rod from the holder. The Ugly Stick bent to the task as Hovey worked the fish toward the boat. Because there was only light line on the rod, he let the drag do it's job. At first the fish wanted to go sideways a bit, but he gave up pretty quickly and soon came to the boat. Our first fish of the day was a really fatb 22-inch beauty.
Lake Murray is a mecca for folks in this part of the South. It is a huge reservoir that impounded the Saluda River to provide electricity to the area. When completed in 1930, at 1.5 mile long and 220 ft. high, it was the largest earthen dam in the world creating the world's largest man-made reservoir. It backs up the Saluda River about 41 miles and is 14 miles wide at it's widest point. It created over 500 miles of shoreline and covers about 50,000 acres. It's big!
The Saluda River joins the Broad River miles below the dam to create the Congaree river. This river joins downstream with the Wateree river to feed the beautiful Lake Marion. The outlet river from Lake Marion is the Santee river which drains into the Atlantic seaboard. A diversion canal from Lake Marion also feeds Lake Maultrie, whose outlet stream is called the Cooper River that also feeds down to the Atlantic. All of these rivers in this huge drainage system that crosses almost all of South Carolina play host to the striper.
Back in the 1960's Bob Stevens pioneered stalking stripers in fresh water. Based on his work in the Santee-Cooper system, stripers can now be found all over the country in a variety of fresh water dams and lakes.
The main biomass that stripers feed on in the lakes in South Carolina are the threadfin shad followed by the gizzard shad. However, most of the guides seem to prefer fishing with the blueback herring. These herring were not natural to Lake Murray.
"They were introduced to the lake around 1985," said Hal Beard, a biologist for the South Carolina DNR. "The DNR did not stock them. They most probably were used as bait fish brought in by fishermen. However they are now a staple in the diet of the gamefish in the lake."
"We now stock about 1 million 1 inch long stripers every year," Beard continued. "At the request of fishermen we have increased the size limit to 21 inches. That seems to be working well."
"Summer die off," was how he responded to my question about what is the biggest challenge they face. "The fish need oxygen at the thermocline in which they feel comfortable. Unfortunately they congregate around the dam and there is not enough oxygen to support them. Some summers we can get a large die off."
The lake also has a tremendous largemouth bass population. All of the big tours run tournaments here.
So, if you find yourself in South Carolina and are looking for a place to fish, Lake Murray is a hotspot. It is well worth going out of your way to fish. While you are in the area, the zoo, aquarium, and flower gardens named the River Banks Zoo and Garden in Columbia is spectacular.
For more information on fishing the lake, contact Ronnie Faircloth (803-600-4999).

Two men accused of rape in Weare
James Cheney, 21, of 9 Snows Court, Dover, faces four counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault, two counts of simple assault, false imprisonment, criminal restraint and witness tampering. He was held on $25,000 cash bail at the Hillsborough County Jail in Manchester pending arraignment Monday.
Tyler Janvrin, 20, of 71 Daniels Road, Weare, was charged with two counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault, two counts of simple assault, false imprisonment, criminal restraint and witness tampering.

Amazing beer. Had it at The Birch in Norfolk, VA.
Poured black...very little head, no light gets through.
Smelled of berries and fruit, with a bit of alcohol and some spicy notes.
Tasted like heaven in a glass. Berries and melon, with chocolate and coffee notes, a touch of alcohol, and a hint of hops. There was also some spiciness to the flavor that lingered briefly. Very lightly carbonated, with fine bubbles which served to enhance the spiciness. Quite a complex and delicate flavor.
Felt great in the mouth. Little carbonation, crisp aftertaste that goes away in about 10 seconds. Really amazing.
I loved this beer. I had two. I wanted to buy a growler of it, but it's pricey.

4.3/5 rDev +2.1%
A: Very black showing a hint of deep garnet on the edges. The head is very thin but is long lasting and made of a fine medium brown bubbles.
S: Moderate whiskey and malt aromas that well balanced, the smoky and peaty scotch notes blend well with the beer although the light roast and bit of chocolate notes are more stout-like than old ale. There isn't much in the way of hops. There is a light note of stone fruit in there as well. Alcohol is evident and soft.
T: A smooth and palate coating beer with a moderate whisky flavor and a light malt sweetness. The malt has a slight raisin character along with bringing a touch of cocoa and little roast.There is a moderately-light hops bitterness. Some moderately-light oak character comes through as well. The balance is slightly bitter. The finish is medium and the aftertaste is a long lingering whisky flavor blended with a moderate alcohol.
M: Full bodied and slightly slick with moderately-light carbonation.
O: A heavy, sipping beer with layers of flavor and a great balanced whisky character.

Black color, tiny tan head.
Aroma of raisin bread and whiskey.
The whiskey aroma was more peaty in the taste. Still the raisin bread was there.
Pretty smooth and mellow.
Nice beer. Will drink more of these.

Had this at the Brick Store in Atlanta.
Pours completely black with a two-finger brown large-bubbled head that recedes quickly into a thin ring around the glass.
Smells of whiskey with hints of smoked/roasted malts. As it warms hints of chocolate come out.
Tastes similar to how it smells, although chocolate flavors have more of a presence. Whiskey flavors kick things off, and just before they seem overpowering give way to roasted malts and dark chocolate. There's a mildly bitter ending, then the whiskey flavors linger for a bit.
Mouthfeel is good. This was the second day the cask was tapped so there was almost no carbonation, but what little there was served its purpose.
Drinkability is good. I feel like I could drink a lot of these in a cigar-smoked filled room with my own in my hand, but in normal conditions one is enough.
Overall I thought there was a bit more whiskey influence on the 18 year than in the 12 year, but other than that they seemed very similar.

(Served in a teku)
bottle 07696
Date Feb 2009
A- The jet black body supports a fizzy light tan head that is creamy until it fades to a thin ring. This beer is a bit to dense to see any carbonation except for the random bubble that pops at the surface.
S- The blend of smoke and barrel oak lets a few notes of toffee and caramel bled through before the smooth black roasted malt finishes the nose.
T- The smoky taste if full with a mescal quality and some slight saltiness to it. Then a thin black malt roasted flavor peaks through before the smoky oak flavor finishes with a slight bacon quality.
M- This beer has a medium-light mouthfeel and a bright little fizz with just a touch of alcohol that only comes through when warmed a bit.
O- The nice rich smoky flavor has no band-aid or off qualities at all and is supported by a smooth stout with some flavors developing a bit as it warms. Very nice sipper.

330ml black foil-capped bottle. Now I'm into Ola Dubh territory where I've at least had the chance to try the eponymous whiskey malt - here's to ye, Scotland's famous son.
This beer pours a mahogany-tinted black oil colour, with very slight reddish edges, and one skinny finger of thinly creamy and bubbly tan head, which dissipates rather quickly, essentially leaving a few specks of paramecia lace around the glass.
Wafting from the glass is a lovely Highland Park malt aroma analogue - caramel and vanilla cream malt, soft smoked peat, and an agreeably mild ocean air's bounty of salt spray and iodine. The taste kicks off with a solid bittersweet chocolate tinged caramel malt, a hint of dilute treacle, ashen peat, real vanilla, supermarket honey, a drug-store medicinal acridity, herbal tea leaves, and a soft musty, weedy hoppiness.
As the weak head seems to have given up the remainder of the bubbles, the carbonation is quite innocuous at best, leading to a very smooth, and somewhat creamy medium-full weight body. It finishes with a big barrel sweetness flourish - caramel, vanilla, and oaken woodiness, only slightly offset by the underlying alcohol and musty seaside edge.
Having previously enjoyed the 18 year old Highland Park whisky, I'm delighted to find the same beauty in this spin-off project from its countrymen - all the weight of a well-made, generous malt, blended into a world-class cocoa-heavy porter, and still full of an island character delivered with the deftest of touches. Sublime, aye, this is.

Middle of the pack enjoyment of the series. Must do a vertical one night. Pours black, wiskey smoke aromas. Milk chocolate taste, a little more bitter at the end of the bottle. Bit more than medium mouthfeel. Whiskey is right there.Good drinkability.

Wouldn't it be more useful to use explosive trap on the 3 bosses to have more reliable LnL procs for add-killing? We haven't done any pulls on it, but this weekend it will happen.
Also, why are you controlling the adds? You can have warlocks do it the entire fight.
Fair enough, but I'm in a 10 man, and may need to do it as some point. Will I be able to keep BA up on the boss and have enough focus to burst an add down in SV?

You can just plonk a ice trap on their path and single target the adds while your pet is ripping the boss apart. I can see the 70% slow being very powerful but Warlocks are much stronger single target so I'd say you might as well put them on the boss instead. The damage buff also doesn't transfer over to our pet like mentioned in this topic, so you'd lose more DPS keeping a Warlock on add duty instead of a Hunter.
We are a 25 man guild by the way. Not sure if the same applies for 10 man.
I guess in 25 man you can put more dps on the add so it dies faster. Not entirely sure how it works.
This was our very first kill however so our tactics and everything weren't perfected and we had a couple of deaths near the end due to all the panic and chaos. I'm sure a lot of things could have been improved, but this is how we did it in the one kill I was there.
What do you guys think in terms of managing stacks in the raid:
currently, I'm thinking 3 stacks on the add killers, 6 on the ranged nukes (who don't have to worry about the interrupts/cleanses/etc) and then 1 refresh on the add killers, before we start stacking it in melee.
We're doing Heroic Elite attempts, and we're losing ground on Corrupted Waters in p2 when the DPS is split really far with 2 add killers, 3 melee playing at less than 100% because they're sitting on interrupts on Asani, and a tank kiting Kaolon around the edge (gotta 2 tank Heroic Elite as well). I'm thinking if we stack 6 on the non-add killing ranged who're just sitting there like pros, the corrupted waters will be a breeze provided we keep them refreshed on stacks.

Nicole Viscardo led a balanced attack for the Red Storm with 11 points. Megan Kilroy and Katy Buckley added eight points each and Jennifer Ward, seven.
Saranac Lake missed out on an opportunity to win the game as regulation time expired.
"It was tied at 37-all and we had the ball with 20 seconds left," Saranac Lake coach David Zerrahn said. "We were able to get the ball down low but missed a shot from five feet out.
"Dominic then scored all their points in overtime on three 2-pointers and two foul shots. It was a back-and-fourth game and an exciting one."

Jillian Scott paced the improved Bobcats with 14 points and was followed by Rachael Venne with 12 and Taylor Durnin with nine.

"But I was happy with our effort tonight. I'm glad we were able to stick with them. We played a good game."

No one can prove that the March DSLR isn't the 7d2
It will be a surprise if the 7DII gets announced first. I'd be glad if you are right, though .
Total Members Voted: 136
No one can prove that the March DSLR isn't the 7d2
I think the March announcement indeed is the 70D. I also think it will be the first camera with Canons new 180 nm process at around 24 mp and single Digic 5 for modest FPS. Wifi and GPS is a given, especially if it is 60D build. I think it will get a variant of 6D AF also for good low light photos and video.
I think 7D2 will also have a new sensor with same 180 nm process, but stay at 18 mp to be the FPS/Hi-ISO monster we all want. Basically a crop 1DX.
The reason for this is for Canon to put out the new sensor in a lower prestige body to get feedback for final spec of 7D2 before they announce it. It also gives the 7D2 a longer time as "latest and greatest crop body", as if the higher mp XXD is release after, it would pull down 7D2 prices. But if released before, the 7D2 lower mp can be marketed as "better", and as a consequence, will not be as sensitive for the next XXD upgrade, as that will certainly have even higher mp count.

SILVIS, Ill. (AP) -- Daniel Summerhays shot a 9-under 62 on Saturday for a two-stroke lead following third-round play at the John Deere Classic.
Summerhays, whose previous best finish on the PGA Tour was a tie for fourth, enters Sunday's final round at 19-under 194 and in position for his first career win.
Summerhays notched 10 birdies while matching the lowest third-round score in tournament history.
Canadian David Hearn (64) is second at 17 under. Defending champion Zach Johnson held a share of the lead after each of the first two rounds, but he's now alone in third after shooting a 67.
J.J. Henry and Jerry Kelly are tied for fourth at 15 under.

A state-by-state look at the Northeast blizzardThe Associated Press | February 08,2013Snow began to fall throughout the Northeast on Friday in what's predicted to be a massive, possibly historic blizzard. A look at each state in the storm's path:
The storm blanketed the state with snow, though not as heavily as other states, and hundreds of schools were closed. Northern Vermont was expected to get 4 to 8 inches of snow by Saturday morning while southern parts of the state could get 8 to 16 inches.
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont post offices were closing early Friday, at 3 p.m. The storm also disrupted air travel, bus service and Amtrak trains.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy declared a state of emergency and deployed National Guard troops around the state Friday for rescues or other emergencies. The National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning for the entire state; the worst was expected to hit Friday evening into Saturday morning.
Nonessential state workers were ordered to stay home Friday. Schools, colleges and state courthouses were also closed. All flights after 1:30 p.m. at Bradley Airport near Hartford were canceled; Malloy said highways could be closed anytime. Train and bus services were set to shut down later Friday.
Some gas stations ran out of fuel Thursday night during the rush to prepare for the storm. The state's two biggest utilities planned for the possibility that up to 30 percent of their customers [--] more than 400,000 homes and businesses would lose power.
More than 6 inches of snow fell in Portland by midday Friday. The snow was blamed in a pileup involving 19 cars on an interstate in Cumberland, and several people had minor injuries, state police said.
Registration and practice runs for the National Toboggan Championships were held Friday as scheduled, but Saturday's races were postponed for a day.
Up to 2 feet of snow was forecast along the southern coast, with lesser amounts across the rest of the state.
Forecasters said the storm could top Boston's record of 27.6 inches, set in 2003.
Gov. Deval Patrick told nonessential state workers to stay home Friday and ordered all non-emergency vehicles off the road by 4 p.m. The Steamship Authority suspended all ferry service between Nantucket and Hyannis, and between Martha's Vineyard and Woods Hole.
On Cape Cod, shelters opened at high schools in Sandwich, South Yarmouth, Eastham and Falmouth after a flood warning was issued; as much as 2 feet of snow is expected.
Most airlines planned to cease operations between noon and 4 p.m. Friday at Logan Airport in Boston. Flights were expected to restart Saturday afternoon.
Heavy snow, blowing snow and strong winds were forecast. Hundreds of schools were closed Friday, airlines canceled flights and sporting and civic events were postponed. A blizzard warning was to begin at 6 p.m. Friday through 4 p.m. Saturday for portions of southeast New Hampshire.
State-run liquor stores were slated to close at 6 p.m. Friday to encourage people to get off the roads by 7 p.m., when the storm is supposed to intensify.
Light snow or freezing rain was falling in northern areas of the state early Friday afternoon, with light rain reported elsewhere.
A blizzard warning for northeast New Jersey called for as much as 14 inches of snow. Up to 10 inches were possible for most of the state, with 2 to 5 inches in south Jersey.
Parts of the coast were expected to see waves up to 12 feet and minor to moderate flooding during high tide. Brick Township and Toms River, which were hit hard by Superstorm Sandy, issued voluntary evacuation orders for areas still recovering from that storm.
The blizzard zone included the state's largest city, Newark, with a population of more than 275,000. Mayor Cory Booker urged residents to prepare for widespread power failures.
Snow fell heavily Friday afternoon in New York City, where more than a foot was expected. Mayor Michael Bloomberg's main concern was clearing the streets of cars and people so 1,700 city plows could get to work; drivers were expected to work 12-hour shifts. Amtrak canceled service north out of the city.
More than 1,700 flights were canceled at the three major airports serving New York City. Most domestic carriers were expected to suspend operations between 2 and 5 p.m. Friday and resume Saturday afternoon.
The state Emergency Operations Center in Albany was activated at noon Friday to monitor storm response. Outside the city, forecasts called for relatively manageable snowfall of 16 inches from the eastern end of Lake Erie to the Hudson Valley. Six inches was forecast in western New York.
In the Pocono Mountains, where more than a foot of snow could fall, schools were closed or delayed, and flights were canceled at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Airport.
Farther south, dozens of flights were also canceled at Philadelphia Airport as a light rain fell. The city was forecast to get 2 to 5 inches of snow.
The bad weather also curtailed bus service from Pennsylvania into New York City.
The evening commute could be especially treacherous, with snow predicted to fall at a rate of 1 to 1.5 inches an hour in some areas.
The National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning through early Saturday afternoon and predicted up to 2 feet of snow and wind gusts of up to 60 mph.
Gov. Lincoln Chafee declared a state of emergency, and nonessential state workers were sent home Friday afternoon. Many schools were closed Friday. Transit service was suspended at noon Friday. The last plane left T.F. Green Airport near Providence just before 1:30 p.m. Friday; no other flights are scheduled to leave until Saturday.
About 100 state plows were already out on the roads, bolstered by 200 private contractors, officials said. Hospitals and health facilities were testing their generators to make sure they would work if power was lost.MORE IN This Just InTODAY'S WEATHER MINUTE: Researchers studying bones of long extinct gigantic cattle, the aurochs, recovered from a bog in Amesbury, Wiltshire, and tools used to kill and butcher them,declare that place the oldest human settlement in Britain. 0Rutland Herald content editor Rich Alcott shares local weather information and easily digestible...

Bikes that make riding easier.Bikes Types Available in Continental Europe
Bikes Types Available in Chile and Argentina
Bikes on TourzPlus! Tours
We take great pride in our bike fleet. For our bicycle tours in Europe, our bikes are based at our operations headquarters in Italy – on our family farm, where we house hundreds of bicycles and our staff of mechanics. Your bike will be equipped with a men's saddle or women's saddle (we have a variety of styles to choose from), rear rack and pack (approx.11" X 6" X 7" and expandable), pump, patch kit, spare tube, cable lock, toe cages (optional), cyclometer, a water bottle cage and a water bottle that is yours to keep.
What bike should you choose?Pick a bike that is similar to the bike you are used to riding at home. Some people like the exhilaration of a fast-paced road bike tour; others prefer the upright sightseeing of a hybrid bike. The bike you select for your trip with us should be the one you are most comfortable with!
Bike Types Available in Continental Europe**Road Bike: with "drop" handle bars, 30 speeds and 700 X 25 tires. The large majority of our fleet in Europe consists of lightweight (56cm comes in at just over 18 pounds), responsive and comfortable Van Nicholas Titanium frame bikes. Bikes come with a combination of Shimano Ultegra and 105 components featuring 50-42-30 chainrings and a 12-28 cassette. Read more about our Titanium bicycle fleet.
*Hybrid Bike: Van Nicholas Amazon Titanium custom hybrid bikes available in both a standard and mixte (step-through) frame. Each component has been carefully selected to create a bike perfect for conquering Mont Ventoux, the hills of Tuscany, or meandering through the Loire Valley. Your hybrid bike will be lightweight and features carbon forks, rapid-fire shifters, and a 30 speed Shimano SLX drivetrain with a low gear ratio (42-32-24 chainrings and 11-34 cassette that make for a 18,9 low gear ratio expressed in gear inches) for the steeper climbs. In other words they have a granny gear(!) for climbing and a higher range for flats and downhills.
*Hybrid Mixte Bike: sometimes called "women's bikes" these titanium hybrids offer all the features of our typical hybrid and a step-through frame for shorter people or for people who don't want to swing their leg over a standard frame's top tube.
Tandems: we have a few Cannondale road-style tandems with aluminum-frames, powerful disk brakes and 27-30 speeds available for tandem enthusiasts who travel with us in Europe. Be sure to book early and reserve a bicycle built for two if that sounds like great fun.
E-bikes: We are pleased to introduce our new hybrid style pedelecs (pedals assisted bikes). These bikes are excellent quality and feature state of the art technology and are a fantastic option for bicycle travelers who need a little push. Although you still have to pedal the E-bike drive provides a nice boost for your efforts. For example when your pedal stroke increases to get up a hill so does the amount of power the electric motor outputs. Less effort on your part translates to less power assist.
These bikes come with rapid-fire shifters that operate in the same way as a regular hybrid bike. They feature an 11-speed drive train with gear ratios that are very similar to what you'd find on a mountain bike which means you have a great range for climbing.
A few things to consider:
Riding an e-bike is easy and we will offer you instructions at the bike fitting. You should know that because of its weight the e-bike handles a bit differently than a regular bike. It also might take you a day, or so, to reach maximum efficiency using the pedal assist.
* In Ireland and Scotland we have aluminum road and hybrid bikes with similar gear ratios as the hybrid and road bikes listed above.
Bike Types Available in Chile and ArgentinaRoad Bikes: Our trips in Chile and Argentina are designed entirely on paved roads. You have the option of Merida aluminum-frame road bikes, 27 speeds.
Hybrid Bikes: our hybrid bikes consist of GT and Merida mountain bikes outfitted with much skinnier tires and with the shocks locked out.
Bikes on TourzPlus ToursOur TourzPlus partners have a similar quality bicycle fleet as ours. If you have questions about the bikes available on any TourzPlus tour we'll be happy to send you the specifics.

Colin the Crocodile Copper helps to keep children safe in Nailsworth
9:00am Saturday 25th January 2014 in News
COLIN the Crocodile Copper took his snappy advice to Nailsworth to help get children to school safely.
Gloucestershire Police's road safety reptile was greeted with excitement when he arrived in a police car to promote the Thank You For Keeping Us Safe campaign at Nailsworth Primary School.
Children were given fluorescent jackets and road signs were displayed around the main entrance to the school.
The campaign, which aims to educate parents through the pupils on safe and responsible driving around schools, was launched in February at Park Infant and Park Junior Schools in Stonehouse, after a parent was knocked down by a car outside the school gates.
It has been organised by the Gloucestershire Road Safety Partnership – made up of Stroud District Council, Stonehouse Town Council, Gloucestershire County Council, and the police. Colin will make further visits to schools to keep the safety message fresh.

Vandals Strike in Southeast Sioux Falls
Police say tires on at least four vehicles were slashed sometime between the evening of May 27 and the morning of May 28 in a neighborhood of southeast Sioux Falls.
Police Officer Jim Larson says there was one call from the 4500 block of South Prince of Peace Place, two calls from the 3700 block of East Steeple Street and one call from the 4300 block of South Bahnson Avenue.
Larson says in some cases, one tire on a vehicle was slashed, while more than one tire was cut in others.
He says it's possible more cases could be reported.

The health care debate rages on, even though the most conservative members of Congress acknowledge that the nation's health care system is broken and must be changed. Nevertheless, their intransigence continues as they only look to defeat President Barack Obama and ignore the sufferings of their constituents.
A public option, similar to Medicare and stringent regulation of the insurance industry, an entity that is only beholden to profit and its shareholders, is critical to any meaningful reform.
I urge the public to support regulation and a strong public option. The bloated, inefficient, inequitable system must be changed. Health care must be acknowledged as a fundamental right of the people and not a commodity to be purchased by those who can afford it.
