Eventhough DMK chief Karunanidhi extended full support on Raja, some leaders are not happy with his decision on Raja. Sources close to DMK reported that some of the leaders want Raja's resignation from party key positions.
Sources also added that DMK leaders like Union Cabinet Minister MK Alagiri, deputy chief MK Stalin, Kalanidhi Maran and Dayanidhi Maran have the opinion that resignation of Raja would help DMK to get a clean image to compete in Assembly polls.
After the CBI raid, media reported that DMK is not happy with Congress' decision over Raja.
It is expected that DMK would not sacrifice Congress alliance to save A Raja. DMK still fears the chance of Congress-AIADMK alliance as their rival and AIADMK supremo, Jayalalithaa, offered her "unconditional" support to UPA to sack Raja over allegations of 2G spectrum scam.

Chapter 20
"I was just kidding about you and Bane. Is something really going on?" I was towel drying my hair. Clover blushed again before shaking her head. I laughed but let it drop. Bane had walked out to talk to Akira. It was just Clover and I in the bathroom while I was drying off. Teasing her was funnier than teasing Slate. Maybe I was just a mean soul deep down, but it was fun.
We had to leave soon; Clover had been packing while I took a shower. After the water heated back up, we were going to switch places. Slate was stuck in the room with us. After Akira found out about the men searching for us, he decided it would be safer that way. He agreed with my theory that the men were humans. The fact that Madoc had humans on his side worried Akira to no end. I could hear him pacing the motel room.
Clover walked into the bathroom, while I finished her packing. Slate stayed motionless on my bed. I didn't even see him twitch. A knock sounded through the room and Slate hurried to the door. I managed to grab his shoulder before he made it.
"Relax a little Slate, let me get the door." I walked over and opened it peering g out into the hallway. A boy stood at the door with a crooked smile. I smiled back.
"Sorry, s'pose I got the wrong room. See, I'm lookin' for my mama. You wouldn't have seen her anywhere, would ya? She told me the number but I've gone and darn forgotten." I shook my head.
"Maybe if you go the desk you can ask if they know the room number. Or call her phone."
He brightened, "that's a good idea. Thank ya." He waved a goodbye before walking in the direction of the main lobby.
I turned to Slate, "see? He was just lost. No need to panic."
"Did you ever think he was sent to see if you were the right girl?"
"Even If he was, do you think him seeing a white haired boy threatening to kill him would be better? You don't trust people enough."
"And you are to trusting." I bit back my mean retort and sent him a smile.
"And that is why we make a good team." He gave an exaggerated sigh and stopped fighting. I could still hear Akira pacing in the background, much slower than last time I listened.
I told Slate that I was going to get some water from down the hall. He wanted to come as well but I told him to stay here. The humans tracking us would notice him and we would have a problem on our hands.
I walked down the hall and peered at the doors around me. Everyone's anxiety was getting to me. I kept expecting a giant group of people to come barging through a door and carry me off. So far I have managed to get out of almost every attempt by myself, but that was Bane. He really didn't want to do all of the things he did, he just thought it was best for everyone.
I shook my head and focused on finding the water. No need to freak myself out. Nothing is going to happen. Nothing is going to happened. Not one thing is going to happen.
I made it to the vending machine without a problem. Letting out a relieved sigh, I put in the money for water. A man behind me was wandering around calling for someone. He noticed me and walked over.
"Excuse me, I am looking for my puppy, have you seen her? I miss her so much and I am worried she ran off somewhere in the town. Would you help me?" I snorted and turned to look at him.
"I am not five anymore, that trick isn't going to work. I know by now not to get into someone's car. Nice try but you are going to have to try harder." The man looked up, from behind his hat.
"Is that so? Then how about this?" He grabbed my wrist and yanked me to him. Before I could start to struggle, we were in a different building. I looked around and noticed I was in a tiny white room. The room had video cameras everywhere. The man shut the door behind him and locked it. I glared at one of the cameras.
"I am sick of being kidnapped Madoc. Want to try something else?" I didn't hear a response so I took to looking around the room. There was no furniture at all; nothing was in the room except for the cameras and me. I glared at the wall and tried to think of a way out.
I felt something in my head, as if something was slithering through. I leaned against the wall and tried to push it out. It refused to go anywhere. Even though I was blocking as much as I could, the thing was still gaining ground. Something else came into my mind, this time a rush of water instead of a slimy critter. It pushed away the other person before settling. As it faded, I heard a whisper.
"Guess I will have to teach you how to push them away too." Slate's voice disappeared as the water did and I opened my eyes again.
"You have very talented friends, Alecia. Too bad they are not talented enough to save you. They will never make it into this building, it is demon-proof. I gave him an angelic smile.
"Good thing we have an Angel on our side then."

Folky balkan jazz with cinematic classicism
… spellbinding beauty … exhilarating energy.
Welcome to Chaika
2016 took Chaika to many places, including a May tour through NSW and the ACT; the wonderful Humph Hall for a charity fundraiser for UNHCR; the gorgeous Kangaroo Valley Folk Festival; and a whirlwind November tour to Queensland.
We started 2017 with a bang supporting Irish multi-platinum artist Sharon Shannon for her only Sydney show at The Basement: from the likes of playing alongside Bono, Sinead O'Connor, and Alison Krauss, we felt like we were in very good company, especially when her band got cranking out the tunes and the crowd was stomping along.
Our exciting news for this year is that we are getting ready to record our third album. We've spent a year and a half of work honing a dozen or so brand new tunes that we started writing at Bundanon in May 2015 while we were Artists in Residence there. Our audiences have been loving this new music as much as we do and we're looking forward to recording it later this year.
Thank you so much to everyone who came to support our September charity fundraiser last year at Humph Hall, we made over $1200 to go towards helping UNHCR in their efforts to lift the burden for refugees worldwide.
Keep watch on this page, we'll be announcing new gigs soon, and a release date and launch tour for our third album.

Amarchand Mangaldas has promoted five partners into its lockstep equity pool and created 11 practice heads as part of a five-year plan to grow to 1,000-lawyers and 100 partners by 2017.
The firm has taken the steps after a year-long review conducted by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), according to LegallyIndia.com.
Mumbai capital markets partner Yash Ashar, Delhi corporate partner Akila Agrawal, Delhi litigation partner Ritu Bhalla, Bangalore head and corporate partner Reeba Chacko and Delhi corporate partner Amit Kumar have joined Amarchand's non-core equity pool on its modified lockstep.
The promotions were formally announced today by the firm and will take retrospective effect from 1 October.
In August 2008 Amarchand promoted five partners into its modified lockstep: Jatin Aneja, Leena Chacko, Ashwath Rau, Gunjan Shah and Himanshu Narayan. Narayan left to join Dua Associates in September 2010.
Amarchand now has 59 partners and roughly 500 lawyers after eight new partners joined the partnership earlier this month.
The BCG review identified that greater cooperation on clients and management between Delhi and Mumbai was necessary for Amarchand to achieve its aims.
One of the cornerstones is a restructuring of its practice area governance, giving 11 partners the roles of practice heads shared between the Delhi and Mumbai offices, which are headed Shardul Shroff and Cyril Shroff respectively.
The corporate practice will be headed in Mumbai by partners Ashwath Rau and Reeba Chacko and in Delhi by partners Harry Chawla, Gunjan Shah and Kalpataru Tripathy.
Practice heads in the competition law practice will be Mumbai partner Nisha Uberoi and Delhi partner Pallavi Shroff.
The head of banking role is split between Mumbai partner SH Bhojani and Delhi partner Shilpa Mankar Ahluwalia.
Infastructure is shared between Mumbai partner L Viswanathan and partner Jatin Aneja in Delhi.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.
AN: Okay so here's the last chapter of 'Watchtower,' I realize how late it has been, I know I promised to post if weeks ago but the words for this version was not coming to me. But I figured that I have apologized before and now it just seems like an empty gesture. So for those who waited for the Chlark ending, here it is.
I originally wanted to write a note to thank each and everyone who read and reviewed this fic. But as I was going through the reviews I found out that it would take me awhile before I could accomplish the task. So I settled on generally thanking everyone: THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO READ AND REVIEWED THIS FIC! If it hadn't been for all your constant support and ecouragement I probably wouldn't have seen this through to the bitter end, or I may never have reached this point. I hope I didn't disappoint a lot of you with the way the story went. And I am grateful for all the feedback that you guys sent me. I feel a little sad that this fic finally reached the conclusion, but I guess the bright side is that I could always write more Chloe-centered fics. I guess this is it then. Thanks again to everyone for sticking with this story.
And now the Chloe/Clark ending...
Chloe punched in the familiar numbers. She waited with bated breath for the voice she hadn't heard in the last four days.
"Chloe." The utter desperation of the voice made her heart bleed.
"Clark." She said his name tentatively.
"Are you okay? Is there something wrong?" Clark cut her off with his concern.
"I'm okay Clark. I…I just need to talk to you." She replied quietly.
"You do?" The hopeful note in his voice made her smile weakly.
"Yeah, can you-"
A gust of wind almost knocked her off her feet but luckily the source of it managed to hold onto her. She smiled at him wryly. Her best friend. Her super best friend. Their relationship was changed irrevocably by his confession.
She continued to stare at him. He looked tired, defeated. She didn't want to be the one responsible for the way his shoulders drooped but acknowledged the fact that she was.
"Chloe." The way he said her name, it was so reminiscent of a plea.
"Clark." She said simply.
"Are you okay?" He asked the same question he asked over the phone. And suddenly his hands were all over her, checking to see if there were any broken bones, he even went so far as to x-ray her.
"Hey Clark, you don't need to start copping a feel. I'm okay. I just need to talk to you. And stop with the x-ray vision." Chloe grabbed his hands and smiled slightly.
"You do?" His inquiry was filled with such hope that Chloe felt her heart break.
She nodded and took his hand in hers. "Let's take a walk."
Clark was willing to follow her blindly to hell if she asked. He looked at their intertwined hands and couldn't help but feel the utter rightness of it all. This was meant to be. Chloe and Clark, together. He inhaled deeply and wished that life could be simple. That he could end up with Chloe and not suffer the guilt of yanking her away from a man he considered as his friend.
The night air did a lot to calm her nerves. She could feel the tight grip of Clark's hand. Gentle yet firm. Just like the man beside her. They walked side by side, a normal occurrence through their years of friendship. They were friends, partners, and confidants. Their relationship meant the world to her. The very thought of losing their friendship, losing him, was enough to incapacitate her completely.
Her gaze landed on their joined hands. They always showed their affection for each other through prolonged hugs and kisses on the cheek. But the sight of their intertwined fingers, nothing felt more intimate than the feeling of his palm against hers, his thumb traced circles on the back of her hand unconsciously.
She sighed heavily. They were about to cross a line that would either bind them forever or break them entirely. And it made her heart race with fear.
"Chloe." Clark stopped walking and forced her to face him. He could hear her heart beating furiously. "Your heart, it's scaring me." He raised a hand to tenderly touch her cheek.
"I'm scared." Chloe murmured quietly.
"Of what?" Clark looked at her pleadingly. He held his breath as he waited for her to say that she was afraid of him, that she was afraid that he was just going to hurt her.
"Of this. Of us." Chloe held up their hands and clutched them to her chest uneasily. "Don't you understand? This changes everything."
Clark leaned his forehead against hers. "I know Chloe. But I couldn't stay quiet. I can't not tell you how I feel." He looked deep into her eyes hoping to convey his complete devotion to her.
Chloe closed her eyes. "It took you so long." She said softly.
"And I'm sorry. I'm sorry if I allowed my fear of losing you control my desire to be with you, because I want to be with you. So much…" Clark breathed out with such intensity. "My life…it would be beyond meaningless…" He closed his eyes as he contemplated the possibility of losing her. His heart might as well stop beating.
"Clark, don't say that." She took his hand and squeezed it with all her might. She had never seen Clark act and talk with such anguish. Not even when he used to talk about Lana. That was her one fear, that she was merely holding Lana's place. But the utter desperation in Clark's expression, she couldn't help but think that he meant every word. She couldn't help but want him to mean every word.
"It has to be said. I spent the better part of my life holding all my feelings for you back. I can't do it anymore. You need to know… without you I am nothing." Clark held her hand as tightly as he could without hurting her. "I'm in love with you Chloe Sullivan." He placed a gentle kiss on the back of her hand as he looked deep into her hazel eyes.
Chloe smiled at him tearfully. "I'm in love with you Clark Kent. I've always been and I don't think I was ever meant to stop." She told him truthfully as her tears fell.
Clark raised his free hand to wipe her tears away, he felt like his heart was finally free. He felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of his shoulders. He met her gaze and saw that she was waiting for his reply.
He allowed his hand to travel to her cheek. He touched her lips with his fingertips and finally gave into his own desire. He crushed his lips to hers and was infinitely grateful to feel her welcome his kiss. He poured his every emotion into the contact, his pain, his happiness but most of all his love for the woman in his arms.
Chloe was surprised when Clark moved to kiss her. But eventually she found herself responding eagerly. They have locked lips numerous times in various circumstances; they had kissed under the influence of meteor rocks and the threat of the end of the world. But this one kiss… was different from every other kisses that they had shared. This was a confirmation of their love for each other. This was a true love's kiss, as trite as that might sound.
Clark held her as long as he could. This kiss, this one kiss was beyond anything they had shared before. It felt like coming home, as though he finally found the missing piece in his life…a piece that he didn't even know was missing. This was it…she was the woman for him. He felt her pull away from him and he opened his eyes in confusion.
"Need air." She smiled at him lopsidedly as she took deep breaths.
He grinned at her wryly. He maintained the closeness between them. He never thought that answering her call would lead to this, he had hoped, but he tried to keep himself from hoping too much.
Chloe let her head fall against his chest. She felt comforted by the slightest touch from him. It was odd that after all this time she picked him, but at the same time she couldn't help but feel that it was a long time coming. She sighed in utter contentment. "I only see you." She murmured quietly.
Clark allowed his hand to run through her hair, he was having a sensory overload. The feeling of her lips against his, her body flushed against his body, her cheek against his chest, it all felt surreal to him but at the same time it was sheer perfection. He had to shake his head to fully hear what she was saying. "Huh?"
Chloe looked up at him and smiled slightly, his eyes looked glazed, for a second it felt like he was not actually there with her. "I could only see you." She repeated her earlier statement.
Clark's brows furrowed, she was not making any sense. He grabbed the hand that was resting on his chest and held it in his.
"In my future, I couldn't imagine anyone else with me but you." She lowered her eyes, suddenly shy.
Clark placed a chaste kiss on her lips, "What do you mean?"
"Trying to decide who I wanted to be with was…difficult. But what it all boiled down to was who did I see with me years from now. Who would be beside me through all the good and the bad? And I saw you Clark. I saw you with me as I took home the Pulitzer. I saw you with me when I once again ended up at some hospital. But most of all I just saw you." She played with his fingers as she continued to avoid his eyes.
Clark practically beamed at her words. "I see only you too Chloe. Whenever I imagined my future you are my one constant." He whispered as he kissed her again.
"This is it then?" She finally met his gaze. "You and me?"
"Together for always." He uttered with such certainty.
Oliver opened his eyes the moment he heard the ding of the elevator. He straightened in his chair and wondered who could possibly be at his doorstep. For the last few days he had been acting like the elusive billionaire. He found neither the desire nor the inclination to socialize with the Metropolis elite. He was nursing a broken heart. For some reason he couldn't get over the idea that he already lost the war…the battle for Chloe's heart.
His focus was on the elevator doors; his breath caught the moment that he saw the occupant.
"Chloe." He whispered almost reverently.
Chloe shifted uncomfortably at the intensity of his stare. "Oliver." She said quietly.
Oliver got up from his chair and marched over to where she was standing. She just stepped out of the elevator and was looking at him with such profound sadness. He knew then that she was there to break his heart.
"I guess this is it then." He muttered calmly.
Chloe crossed the distance between them and laid a hand on his arm. "Oliver-"
"Just say it Chloe. I believe they have a saying about band aids and such." Oliver took her hand in his and held it tightly.
"I…honestly don't know what to say." Chloe murmured as she stared at their joined hands.
"You're here to tell me that you picked Clark." He dropped her hand and walked towards the balcony.
"I picked Clark." She said in a small voice.
His shoulders stiffened as he heard what he expected her to say. He nodded. He stared at the view blindly and thought idly, 'So this is what a breaking heart feels like.'
Chloe walked over to where he was and placed her hands on the rail as she too stared at the view. She automatically looked down and wondered what Clark was thinking at that exact moment. She took a deep breath and faced Oliver. "I'm sorry." She whispered, so quietly that she was afraid that he wouldn't hear her.
"I know." He nodded again.
"I do love you." She declared with such feeling.
She did love him and it tore her heart out to have to tell him that she picked Clark. But he told her himself that he shouldn't allow other people to dictate how she lived her life. She was following her heart; maybe it was selfish of her. She wouldn't be able to give him all of her, and he deserved to be with someone who would love him so completely.
"Just not as much as you love him." He remarked impassively.
She shook her head. "What I feel for you and what I feel for him…they're two entirely different…I never meant to hurt you." She closed her eyes, in an attempt to hold back her tears.
"I know." Oliver said unemotionally.
"Oliver…" She looked at him pleadingly.
"I should have known." Oliver finally faced her. "You two depend on each other." 'Too much in fact.' He added to himself.
"He's my greatest friend. He and I…we never had a shot at actually being together. This…this is our chance. And I feel that I would regret it for the rest of my life if I don't even try and see what he and I could have." Chloe looked away as she finished speaking, unable to stand to see his reaction.
Oliver laughed humorlessly. "I guess this is it then."
"Oliver, I'm so sorry." She finally opened her eyes and saw the utter devastation on Oliver's expression. She lowered her gaze and shook her head in profound regret.
"Stop Chloe." Oliver tipped her chin up and gave her a weak smile. "Never apologize for loving someone."
"But I hurt you." She buried her face in her hands.
"But you didn't mean to." Oliver murmured as he enveloped her in a hug. "You are the most amazing woman I have ever met. You have a heart of gold Chloe. I would never think that you set out to hurt me." He pulled back and settled his hands on her shoulders as he tried to convince her that he meant his every word.
"Oliver…" She looked away from him.
Oliver shook his head. "Chloe look at me." He framed her face with both his hands and urged her to do as he asked.
She met his eyes tearfully and brought her hands up to hold his.
"I love you. But if I'm not the man who could make you completely… and perfectly… and incandescently happy then I wouldn't want to hold you back from experiencing a great love, even if it is not with me." Oliver took her hands in his and placed a kiss on each hand.
Chloe smiled sadly. "You are a catch Oliver Queen. You'll find someone wonderful, someone way better than me."
Oliver shook his head. "You're a tough act to follow Chloe Sullivan."
Chloe leaned her forehead against his chest. "Oh Oliver."
"It's okay Chloe. It'll be okay." Oliver placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Clark's waiting for you." He hugged her one last time.
Chloe looked at him and then kissed Oliver's cheek before letting go of him.
'How long does it take to break someone's heart?' Clark wondered idly. He was looking up at the building that housed the man who also loved Chloe. His Chloe.
Chloe had unconsciously led them to Oliver's home as they continued with their walk. When he finally became aware of his surroundings she told him that she needed to talk to Oliver.
For a second he was afraid that Chloe had changed her mind. Perhaps it showed in his expression that she kissed him passionately before telling him to wait for her. That was when he finally realized that in choosing him, Chloe had to break Oliver's heart.
So there he was. At the bottom floor of the building, waiting for his love to break another man's heart. A man he actually thought of as his friend, despite the arguments that they have had, all of which centered on the amazing Chloe Sullivan.
He felt guilty. Oliver did not deserve to have his heartbroken because it took him so long to get his act together. But at the same time he could not feel any regret for telling Chloe how he truly felt. He loved her. She loved him. The realization was enough to make him breathless.
They were finally given the chance to be together. Finally, it was their turn. And he could feel that their love would bring him to such great heights. With her by his side he truly felt like a superman, that even if the very next day he lost all his powers he would still feel like the same person, because Chloe inspired him to be more than he ever thought he could be.
Clark inhaled deeply. Perhaps Oliver felt the same way. And once again Clark felt the guilt course through his entire being. He did not doubt that Oliver truly loved Chloe. He could see it in the other man's eyes. Oliver Queen was in love with her. But then again so was he. And in the end it all boiled down to who Chloe wanted to be with. And he would thank the Gods everyday of his life for being that man. He would make sure that he made her happy and that she knew without a shadow of a doubt that he loved her unequivocally.
Oliver would certainly have a tough time getting over Chloe. He knew he would be a complete disaster if she hadn't picked him. He couldn't help but wonder if they would be able to band together in order to save the world. He hoped that he could still be part of the league that Oliver seemed intent on forming. For better or worse Oliver made him realize that his powers were not just for the benefit of the people who were close to him. That he could and should expand his horizon and help everyone, regardless of who they were and what they meant to him.
His hearing picked up the sound of the descending elevator. He eyed the doors greedily and felt his heart beat faster at the sight of Chloe.
Chloe looked completely defeated. He felt a lump form in his throat as he imagined what she had just endured. What she just did in order to be with him. Without a word he crossed the distance between them and just wrapped his arms around her. She instinctively leaned into him. He just held her and hoped that he could provide the solace that she so desperately needed.
Clark was not under any illusions that the encounter between her and Oliver was painless. Chloe would feel the weight of her decision; she would feel all the emotions he was feeling but with more intensity. It was one of the many traits that made him love her all the more.
"Chloe." He murmured quietly as he pulled back to see her expression.
"He took it like a gentleman." Chloe said, sadness permeating her entire tone.
He gave her a sad smile and nodded. "I didn't expect him to react any other way. You really do love him don't you?"
Chloe nodded. "But I love you more. I will always love you more than anyone." She looked at him tearfully.
Clark placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. "I'll love you forever. Cherish you for always. As long as I'm living, you'll mean everything to me." He whispered to her quietly.
Chloe buried her face against his chest and smiled through her tears. "Likewise."
Clark let out a short laugh. "I love you Chloe Sullivan. Now let's go home."
Chloe pulled back, gave him a wide smile and nodded. "Take me home."
Clark steered them towards the alley and then proceeded to sweep Chloe off her feet. Chloe intuitively wrapped her arms around his neck. "I love you too." She murmured just before kissing him chastely.
Clark had a wide smile on his face as they sped off into the darkness of the night.

Griever: The Cost of JusticeMature
Griever strolled through the camp, his excitement for the day ended and his stomach full from some pea soup he had managed to grab. It wasn't as good as that first pea soup he had ate when he first came to the Night Hawks, but it was good and filled him right up.
Rowan, the dirty bastard, was standing toward the center of the Night Hawk camp talking to Jem and Kate about something. Griever could care less if it involved that man. The sight of a sword going through him would be welcome. It was a shame he had agreed to leave him be for now... Why, Griever could have probably gotten away with offing the man for sending a letter or stealing. No one would question him now that the Night Hawks were beginning to trust him.
But... it would be wrong. Dishonor was something Griever could not live with.
'Maybe I can get one of the men to duel me,' Griever thought idly. There were not many men in this camp, which was a shock to many, but somewhat of a disappointment to Griever. He would not face a woman unless his life depended on it. It wasn't that they were weak - Kate and Jem were shining reminders of how wrong that was - but that he always held back. Harming a lady was not something he could consent to. Now, courting them he could do. Griever smiled as a slim woman named Cara walked by.
"Hello, Cara, would you like to have a stroll?" Griever said with his best smile. She ignored him though, saying he needed to look for a lady and not a Night Hawk. Griever sighed. What was with these women. If a man can court and fight, so could a woman! Darn, he needed to step up his game!
"Not much luck huh?"
Griever turned to see Norida. "Well, hello our freshly rescued princess," Griever said with a smile. Too bad she was young.
"Thank you," she said.
Griever barked a laugh. "For what?"
"Coming to my aide, of course!" she huffed. It reminded Griever of his sister when she was annoyed. Griever shook the thought from his mind.
"Well, Jem was right when she said it was a stupid thing to do," Griever said, eyeing a potential candidate for him walking by, "I could have gotten us both killed."
Norida sat down on a nearby log that had been fashioned into a sitting place. "She is much too young for you and it's the thought that counts."
Griever sighed. ALL these women were either much too young, much too old, uninterested in men, or a combination of two of those. Was there any normal females in this camp? Preferably ones that was born around the time he was. Being only 20 summers, he wasn't THAT old...
"I heard you had some sort of magical power," Griever said sarcastically to change the subject.
He barked a laugh. "Don't worry. Holding a weapon doesn't make you a killer, but using to kill does." He winked and walked to where Rowan was walking off towards the grounds set aside for training. "Hey, knight."
Rowan paused and turned to see Griever approaching. "Leo- er... I mean Griever. What is it?"
Griever pulled his Eternal Lion. "I want to train and these ladies aren't my style. Care for a match?" Rowan nodded and within moments they were on the training grounds with their weapons. Griever used Eternal Lion like always. For some odd reason, it never dulled much.
"Ready?" Rowan called.
"I am not going easy on-"
Griever's sword met Rowans in a lightning fast attack to the dark-haired knight, shutting his mouth mid-sentence and shoving him to the side. Not many could stop the Lion's Pounce without prior warning. To do so was a big accomplishment.
Rowan backed off and attacked in turn, his eyes becoming focused. It was not enough. The strike, which was aimed to Griever's arm, stopped as Eternal Lion swung upward. Sad really. Griever had faced many a man and was good at gauging skill. This man was great, but this battle was one he would lose.
Rowan's blade flew upward and Eternal Lion hit the man in the side of the face with the flat of the blade, knocking the knight down. Griever placed his sword's point to Rowan's neck as he tried to stand up.
"Your blade lacks conviction," Griever said slowly, drowning the urge to chop this man's head off while he had the chance, "If you weren't distracted, then you may have beaten me, but as it stands, you can not face me."
Rowan sighed and closed his eyes. "I have nothing against you and I owe you. How am I supposed to face you with my all?"
Griever barked a laugh. "The same way you will face your old comrades when we face them. Even if they are innocent, you must fight and kill them. That is the cost of justice." Griever put Eternal Lion away and turned to leave. "Don't get comfortable just because you think you are doing right now. The sins of a man are never erased, nor are they forgotten."
That should make him think. Griever had initially wanted to beat Rowan to crush his spirit but after fighting him, Griever realized the man would be useless against the knights. There would always be that hesitation when he faced his old comrades unless he learned. Then again, maybe it was just Griever who set the man into a state of incompetence.
In any case, Griever was satisfied. Was that a pretty blonde just now? Maybe he could use a little more satisfying.

- - Morgan 41 in freezing water (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/living-aboard/69514-morgan-41-freezing-water.html)
Morgan 41 in freezing water
Last year a Morgan 41 was left without damage in about 3-4 foot of ice in the port of Montreal.
I inspected the hull in and outside water, and there was no damage or flexing.
Was the guy lucky or is it the shape of the hull that helped?
water dept and bubbler
What is the minimum depth needed for a bubbler.
Let say the boat draft is 4 foot, and there is 6-7 feet of water, will it work?
That is fairly normal. I've used them in less.
why I read everywhere that it doesn't work with shallow waters?
Will they still work in 4-5 feet of water?
thanks :-)
I will try to post some pictures taken with my cell phone if you are curious.
Even the propeller was in ice. They had hard time remove in mid-january and cut the ice with chain saw then used a huge boom truck to remove the boat for there, port authorithies wanted the boat out of there.
I'm thinking to leave my Morgan OI 41 in water next winter and access to electricity for bubbler is difficult. I know that most of in water storage use bubbler, but what if certain shape of hull and solidity where able to take the load in the ice?
Bubblers with automatic start diesel generator
If a decide to leave my Morgan 41 in water, we have problem with ice for about 60 days here in Montreal region.
Were I can leave the boat secure, about 100-150 from shore, I will not have access to electricity.
Do you think it crazy to think to use a inboard automatic start diesel generator with automatic start bubbler to prevent icing?
I have about 170 gallons of diesel in tanks.
If you do not bubble her you are living on the edge. If you are 100-150 from shore you also have to worry about the ice when it moves. Pull her if you are not bubbling!
I am down in NYC in mostly salty water. Very few boats over winter even here without some kind of bubbler mechanism.
It sounds to me like someone is being a bit 'Scottish' or penny wise and pound foolish about not wanting to pay yard fees for the winter.
Good luck with that.
Two words: Ernest Shackleton.
As far north as you are, I doubt a bubbler will work well in that shallow an area. Bubblers generally rely on bringing warmer waters up from bottom to prevent freezing. I doubt that the water at 6-7' is much different from that at the surface.

LensRentals shipping Canon EOS 5D Mark III with Magic Lantern
LensRentals.com is now shipping the Canon EOS 5D Mark III, with a twist. These particular 5D Mark IIIs have Magic Lantern (which adds additional features to Canon DSLRs) pre-installed. The most notable feature gained by using Magic Lantern on the 5D Mark III is Raw video support, which offers much better video quality than on a 'stock' camera. You can also take advantage of the rest of the Magic Lantern feature set, including focus peaking, an intervalometer, too many movie enhancements to list, plus the dynamic range improvement that we reported on last month.
All this can be yours for around $250 per week. LensRentals throws in a 128GB Lexar 1000X CompactFlash card, which you'll need to capture Raw video.

RAW video? Nay..... you really do not need it.
This is great news for everybody. If Magic Lantern turns out to be popular and trouble-free, Canon can re-evaluate. If it causes problems, it voids the warranty so it's 100% the user's risk. If the user wants Magic Lantern but not the risk, they can rent from LensRentals. Something for everybody.
Wow, you already have to hack a fairly new $3,500 camera? And void the mfr's paltry warranty? Phew.... times are a-tough. People are getting desperate all over the place.
Smart move by Lens Rentals that's good for them, their video enthusiast customers, ML, and Canon. Also, Canon has no reason to block the Magic Lantern hack since it makes their cameras even more desirable among the video and movie maker crowd without leaving Canon open to a flood of warranty claims when something overheats or breaks.
There's a potential fly in the ointment here for Lens Rentals - hope they realise.
While ML is free not many care. As soon as someone starts monetising it the patent trolls will be crawling out from under their bridges demanding the tolls.
Hope no one gets burnt.
They have the full right to do so if they are indeed violating patents as soon as they start monetizing these kind of hacks.
How would you feel if someone uses your photo's without paying you any money while the violator make money out of them.
Great trend, hopefully Canon will not block Magic Lantern in their future cameras.
If Canon were smart, they'd know that (some) people buy Canon for ML. If I were Canon, I'd do product differentiation at hardware level instead of selling same sensor with different firmware. This way people will have to buy higher end model if they want to get the best, even with the help from ML hack.
There are some really big hardware differences already. Mainly in buffer memory and card writing speed which is why only the 5D can do raw at full res. Would be fantastic if it was just a firmware difference but at the same time Canon would have been more likely toput a stop to it then.
don't know if it's a good idea for Canon but I'd want to see Canon cooperate with ML and eventually provide us a sound API for Canon cameras, like programmable (instead of programmed) P mode.
it's can go very complex to let camera choose shutter and aperture for best resolution based on analysis of subject movement (need live view but we have dual-pixel AF now) and lens sweeping, etc.
Actually, what you're describing sounds extremely complex, especially if the camera wasn't designed with that kind of real-time image analysis in mind. It may be possible, using the same hardware / processing power that powers autofocus in live view, but that's the only vaguely similar feature I know of included in Canon's firmware (and it's much simpler than what you're suggesting).
the days of SLRs may be numbered when we are going 4K and 8K within a decade, especially for the low-resolution pro models like 1DX and D4. the advantage they have now is mobility, can be carried and operated by a single person.
that I see high level automation (APIs and complex add-ons) and efficient human-machine interface (that can be programmed, too) the key to the future.
there is a large chunk of our brain devoted to visual processing and cameras will need huge processing power to handle 8K video and construct a 3D battlefield for best shooting of the targets.
Setting shutter and aperture for best resolution already exists (MFT program in Pentax camera), not base on subject mouvement though.
For canon, you have CHDK, it have script for motion detection.
Good for Magic Lantern!

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - December 22, 1991, New Braunfels, Texas 75 cents Vol. 140, No. 23 Constant rains flood county rn - This camper at the New Braunfels RV Park, under the Interstate 35 bridge in New Braunfels, was found in flooding waters from the Guadalupe River Friday evening. (Photo by Robert Stewart) Remembering the flood of '72 Umbrellas and rain gear were the necessities when traveling out of doors this week. (Photo by Bill Ervin) Road construction crews were called to Koehler Street Saturday to temporarily repair a washed out bridge (Photo by Bill Ervin) This car was swept into a creek bed off of River Road By LARRY ROWE Staff Writer As threatening rains and flood 'warnings reached their climax Friday night, many of New Braunfels' citizens were forced to recall a similar night 20 years ago, when flood waters took the lives of more than 15 citizens. "It was a scary evening," Fire Marshal Elroy Friesenhahn said Saturday. "The rains were similar to what they were last night, because it had been raining and drizzling for days before, and then it started raining real hard. It was hard to describe — yesterday, I had the feeling that the same type of situation was taking place." Although new flood control dams and better emergency training have made New Braunfels a much safer city during such weather conditions, Friesenhahn said the storm brought up memories of the night in May 1972, when he and fellow firefighters grounded at station #4 listened to dispatch calls answered by the other stations. One firefighter was washed into the flood waters on his way to work, Friesenhahn said. "Later on the following day, we found his body underneath one of the bridges." On that day, he viewed the damage while assisting police in securing flood'Zone areas. "Houses were destroyed or washed off of their foundations. All the houses down in the (Landa) Estates were just covered with mud and debris if they weren't destroyed.... It was just unbelievable all the destruction that water can do." Council Member Rudy Seidel lived on Rio Drive near Interstate 35. a neighborhood that suffered total devastation from the flood waters of the Guadalupe River. Seidel said his family managed to escape before the situation became life-threatening because they mistakenly thought his wife was having a heart attack and tried loProblem areas *ity and county road crews have been busy barricading major roadways in and around New Braunfels. Some of those areas included: Post Road Koehler Street Landa Street U.S. 81 Interstate 35 Farm-to-Market 725 take her to the hospSaL^^^^^ After they left, several neighbors were killed by the flood when their houses were swept from the foundations and smashed together like dominoes. "The next morning, we went down to where our house used to be," Seidel said. "It was very hard to find where it even was because all these houses were gone, utilities poles were gone. a lot of the trees were gone. There was debris everywhere. "When I saw devastation on TV, I always thought, gosh. I can imagine how those people feel, but you can't you can't imagine until it's happened to you." Don Jackson, a member of the Elks Lodge who u JI ped rescue flood victims on that night, recalled the sight of drowning cows stuck in fences as he and others maneuvered a boat through a residential area near the Dry Comal Creek. He said they rescued one elderly couple from a home at the end of Hickory Avenue who were reluctant to leave their belongings "W'hen we got there, they had two or three feet of water in the house, and we had to go pick them up and put them in the boat," Jackson said.Emergency officials mobilizing to ward off dangers from flooding VO/I?CIV*0SundayDecember 22,1991 Serving NEW BRAUNFELS and COMAL COUNTY I Home of Los Thom fining Brsunfril 3 Sections, 46 Pages By ROBERT STEWART StWriter Rising floodwaters in New Braunfels and surrounding areas caused by more than 13 inches of rain since Tuesday had local emergency agencies mobilizing to deal with impassable roads and stranded motorists. "We had no major difficulties," said Elroy Friesenhahn, New Braunfels fire marshal. "There were five incidents where we had to get people out of their cars where streets had flooded and one incident where lightening struck a transformer at U.S 81 and Walnut Avenue. We did call in the off-duty personnel who live in the city to come to the central station and be on standby. Once we got that all accomplished, the rain started to diminish. It was a good exercise for us." The Emergency Operations Center at the New Braunfels Police Department was quickly put into action to coordinate activities. Extra personnel were activated by the New Braunfels Police Department, Fire Department and Street Department to respond to the high-water emergency. "We kept over the day shift and we worked double-shift until about 11 p.m.," said Ll. Felix Roque. "We were Jiusy but we managed pretty good. We were able to keep anybody from getting hurt — that was our primary goal." Roque added that police worked closely with the Street Department to barricade impassable areas. "I just feel real comfortable that if the situation ever does get worse that we'll be ready to go," Syring said. "I'm just real ecstatic with the way the operations have gone so far." New Braunfels Fire Chief Phil Baker said that the city's volunteer firefighters and all the off-duty professional firefighters were called in al 7:30 p.m. "Basically we were rescuing people in low-watcr crossings," Baker said. For more coverage see Page 2A "We had a couple of regular ambulance calls in the middle of that." Some locations were hard to reach by ambulance because of high water. Baker said. "We had a couple of places where we had lo respond from the other side with a different EMS unit," Baker said, adding that the firetrucks generally don't have any trouble getting around. "We established crews and set-up some response teams with our swift-water rescue people on the teams," Baker said. "They didn't actually have to go out and do anything (in the water). They were basically just helping stranded motorists whose cars stalled out." "We've got the type of personnel who say 'let's go do something (to help)'," Friesenhahn said. Friesenhahn said that while officials did not evacuate anybody from their homes, nine people who felt uncomfortable with the rising water did go to the National Guard Armory where the Red Cross had established an evacuation center. "We had the shelter started at 8 p.m. and we were there until 11:15 p.m.," said Darren Bnnkkoeter, chairman of Disaster Services for the Red Cross in New Braunfels. "There were some people evacuated but they chose to stay the night with friends and family." The armory was chosen for the shelter Friday night because access to downtown locations was uncertain because of flooding, Bnnkkoeter said. "We've had such heavy rains in the local area we have the potential for some major problems if the rains just happen to hit wrong," said John Spccht, general manager of Guadalupe Blanco River Authority (OBRA), the agency that determines the water release from Canyon Lake Dam "We will continue to monitor and operate the systems to keep everything moving through as rapidly as we can without having any unnecessary impacts on local areas." Specht said the GBRA cannot simply release all water to go downstream and can't cut off all flow from the Canyon Lake Dam to reduce the amount of water in New Braunfels. "Everything is open and being coordinated to pass the water as efficiently as we can," Specht said. "There are no flood control structures downstream and so all we can do is try to pass the waters as they occur. The (Canyon Dam) release presently is just a little over 200 cubic feet per second and that is needed to maintain the upper portion of the river." The GBRA is an organization that develops water resources, operates facilities to manage river flow and conserves water resources The GBRA works in conjunction with the Corps of Engineers, th. National Weather Service and governmental agencies. Specht said. "Sometimes the local tributaries are coming in so heavy and causing some localized flooding there's really nothing that can be done about that," Specht said. "Once the flow exceeds the normal capability of the river to carry it, it's going to begin to go over banks iii places With a little bit of luck maybe this thing won't catch us with another major storm cell." The Canyon Lake reservoir and the small flood-retarding structures that have been constructed on tributaries like the Dry Comal Creek. Blieders Creek and York Creek are designed to prevent major flooding further downstream. "Certainly they're helpful and there is no danger right al this moment of a major flood occurring," Specht said. "Conversely, if it rains a great deal more, very fait, then you could have some very serious problems," he vaid. "It's a dangerous situation, bul at this point everything is in pretty good shape. We just have such unusual circumstance occurring here." City barricading local roadwaysGood Day There continues lo be a high chance of rain today. The clearing should begin on Monday.

Hanuman Temple of Pandupol, located inside the Sariska National Tiger Reserve of Rajasthan, is one of the most visited locations in Sariska. An enchanting spring emerges from hard and compact rocks at Pandupol or Pandu Gate. According to legends, the Pandava brothers took refuge here while they were on exile. Another myth adds to it, stating that at this place, Bheema (the strongest among the Pandavas) was defeated by Lord Hanuman.
The Hanuman Temple here enshrines a huge idol of Lord Hanuman. During the rainy season, waterfall can be found at this place, and birds of various kinds can also be spotted. Langurs and macaques can also be seen in the premises of the temple.

Veteran Macfarlanes partner Tim Lewis has left the firm to join Clifford Chance's global corporate practice.
Lewis has been with Macfarlanes' M&A group since joining the firm in 1985, making partner nine years later. During his tenure he has specialised in public and private M&A and equity capital markets.
Clifford Chance's global head of corporate Matthew Layton said: "Tim has a great reputation in the London market and a strong track record for developing long-term client relationships with UK and international corporate clients, as well as a strong reputation with senior investment banks.
"He's an excellent fit in terms of our culture and in terms of how he wants to develop his personal practice, particularly the international element."
Layton added that the the firm would continue to focus on its strategy of attracting major corporate clients both globally and domestically.
Macfarlanes senior partner Charles Martin said he understood Lewis' decision to leave the firm for a "fresh challenge", adding that "Clifford Chance operates on a very different model and footprint to us".
He added: "It's sad to see Tim go but we have a very deep M&A team with 17 partners. Clifford Chance has a very different strategy to ours and Tim has gone for a different challenge.
"Our M&A focus is on doing complex work for clients who appreciate a more concentrated team that is very partner focused, and we're competing for high-end M&A work with leading firms around the world."
Martin said the firm is not considering bringing anyone in to replace Lewis, adding: "We have some outstanding talent, particularly among our associates, and don't see a gap that needs to be filled."
In May 2009 Clifford Chance was hit by the departure of leading corporate partner Adam Signy to Simpson Thacher & Bartlett (5 May 2009).
Earlier this year Clifford Chance lost out to Simpson Thacher & Bartlett on private equity house Kohlberg Kravis Roberts' (KKR) buyout of Pets at Home after Signy picked up the mandate to give M&A advice (27 January 2010).
In the UK KKR had traditionally turned to Clifford Chance for advice on company M&A matters, with longstanding US counsel Simpson Thacher handling the financing side of deals.
