-Lucia Peters
Remember back in October when we got a first look of Nicole Kidman as Grace Kelly in the upcoming biopic Grace of Monaco? Well, we've got a new treat for you today: Set pics from the movie!
According to our pals at Celebuzz, Nicole was spotted this past Sunday shooting scenes from the film in front of a Cartier store in Paris. The actress cut quite the figure in a pair of gorgeous, sparkling earrings, long black gloves, and a to-die-for fuchsia hat:

INDIANAPOLIS -- The AMOA–National Dart Association held its first two of three regional soft-tip dart tournaments in Madison, WI, from Dec. 6 to 8, and in Phoenix, AZ, from Dec. 13 to 15. Seventeen NDA operators sent 196 players to the Madison tournament and seven operators sent 133 players to Phoenix, all competing for $15,000 in prize money at each event.
The NDA Regional Tournaments generated "enthusiasm about the extra fun and affordable opportunities" among players and operators, the NDA said.
NDA reported that operators participating in the Madison and Phoenix tournaments purchased 253 and 207 event entry certificates, respectively. Each competition featured Open Singles Combo, Doubles Cricket, Doubles '01 and Mixed Triples Combo, which required varying levels of play based on skill ratings. Prizes were awarded in each event level, providing a fair and competitive environment for all skill sets, NDA said.
"Through the creation of these regional tournaments, we wanted to give players another opportunity to compete and get the most out of their NDA-sanctioned status at a local level," said NDA president Judy Mehle, BMW Billiards (Loveland, CO). "We are overwhelmed by the positive reaction to the two tournaments so far, and hope to have just as great an experience at the final tournament in Florida." This will be held in Kissimmee, FL, from Feb. 14 to 16. Regional tournament participants must be NDA-sanctioned players, and are required to have played a minimum of 48 league games within the qualifying period.
NDA's Team Dart international tournament will be held from April 25 to May 3 at Bally's Las Vegas. Mehle observed that regional tournaments have the added benefit providing additional game practice, and offer players the opportunity to win entries to the annual international tournament.

NDA is an international trade association made up of coin-op vending companies representing some 300 operators members and 45,000 players worldwide. Formed by and for coin machine operators, its purpose is to promote the sport of electronic darting exclusively on operator-owned equipment. To this end, NDA offers a variety of programs, materials and supplies to assist its members to increase the profitability of their dart operations.
NDA and its Team Dart event is sponsored by the Amusement and Music Operators Association, Arachnid Inc., Cyberdine d.o.o., Gaelco Darts S.L., Medalist Corp., NSM-Löwen Entertainment and Shelti/Gold Standard Games.

Last weekend I participated in a 24 hour run on loose dry sand at the beach. We ran as many 3.38 mile loops between 2 piers as we could complete in 24 hours. I managed to do 14...which added up to 47 miles and change. It was the farthest I had ever run barefoot. The winner was Patrick Sweeney who set the world record for greatest distance run on sand in a 24 hour period after running 94.08 miles. It was a fundraiser for the school district, and an after school program to fight childhood obesity, called the 100 Mile club.

Obviously no two instructors will teach BJJ techniques in exactly the same way word for word.
But a triangle is still a triangle and an armbar is still an armbar regardless of where you train, isn't it?
If you train at a Carlson Gracie academy for a month, then train at a Gracie Barra academy for a month will the styles of BJJ be markedly different? What would those differences be?

In our eighteenth flight over the Bible from 30,000 Feet, our tour guide, Pastor Skip Heitzig will take us to our next destination, 2 Samuel 11-24. On this flight we'll see David's transgressions and the troubles that resulted from them. By presenting both the strengths and weaknesses of David, we see a complete picture of a very real person who was described as being "a man after God's own heart." The key chapters to review are 2 Samuel 11, 12, 15, 18, 19, 23, and 24.
The book of Second Samuel recounts the triumphs and defeats of King David. David took a divided and defeated Israel from his predecessor King Saul and unified the nation under God's guidance. By presenting both the strengths and weaknesses of David, we see a complete picture of a very real person who was described as being "a man after God's own heart."
The Settlement of Canaan
Samuel anoints David to be king
Death of Saul
David begins to reign at Hebron
Jerusalem becomes the capital
David becomes king over all Israel
David commits adultery with Bathsheba
Absalom revolts against his father David
King David dies
Solomon dies and the Kingdom divides
The book of Second Samuel can be divided into two parts. The first part, chapters 1-10, recounts David's triumphs. The second part, chapters 11-24, deals with David's transgressions and the resulting trouble.
1. David's Transgressions (Adultery and Murder): 2 Samuel 11
2. David's Troubles: 2 Samuel 12-24
a. Troubles in David's House - 2 Samuel 12:1-13:36
b. Troubles in David's Kingdom - 2 Samuel 13:37- chapter 24
The Mountain of Tears - As David was leaving Jerusalem, he went by way of the Mount of Olives. Saddened by the news of Absalom's plot, he cried as he looked down on his city. Perhaps this is the same spot that Jesus wept over Jerusalem (2 Samuel 15:30; Luke 13:34).
En Rogel - As David fled from Absalom with those who were still loyal to him, Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed back at En Rogel to spy on Absalom to learn his plans. En Rogel was a spring in the area just south of Jerusalem in the Kidron Valley (2 Samuel 17:17).
Bethlehem - This was the hometown of both David and Jesus, located in the hills of Judah about six miles southwest of Jerusalem. David grew up here, tending to his father's flocks of sheep. As a side note, Bethlehem is first noted in Scripture as the place where Rachel died and was buried "by the wayside," directly to the north of the city (Genesis 48:7). The valley to the east was the scene of the story of Ruth the Moabitess. There are the fields in which she gleaned, and the path by which she and Naomi returned to the town.
From Dan to Beersheba - When talking about the entire nation of Israel, the phrase "from Dan to Beersheba" was often used. Dan was located on the northern border and Beersheba was on the southern border. When the messengers were told to take the message "from Dan to Beersheba" it meant to all 12 tribes (Judges 20:1; 2 Samuel 3:10, 24:2).
Abigail - David's sister; mother of Amasa (2 Sam 17:25; 1 Chronicles 2:16).
Abishai - David's nephew and one of his most loyal friends. He was the second of three brothers, Joab older and Asahel was the younger. He was the one who wanted to kill the sleeping Saul (1 Sam 26:6-9). During Absalom's revolt, he remained loyal to King David (2 Sam 16:9). He was the one who rescued David from the giant Ishbi-Benob (2 Sam 21:16).
Absalom - David's favorite son. Absalom led a terrible revolt against David and drove the king out of Jerusalem for a time (2 Sam 15:13-14).
Adino - The first of David's mighty men. Also called Josheb-Basshebeth the Tachmonite (2 Sam 23:8).
Ahithophel - David's counselor; Bathsheba's grandfather. He later joined Absalom's revolt against David. Perhaps this was in response to the way David took advantage of his granddaughter (2 Sam 11:3, 15:12, 23:34). But when his counsel was rejected, he hung himself (2 Sam 17:21).
Amasa - David's nephew, daughter of his sister Abigail and cousin to Absalom, who appointed him commander of Absalom's troops. Also cousin to Joab (2 Sam 17:25).
Barzillai - A Gileadite who along with Machir and Shobi brought food and supplies to David when he was in great need. Barzillai was 80 years old (2 Sam 17:27, 19:32).
Abiathar - When Saul killed all the priesthood at Nob, Abiathar was the sole survivor. He was the son of Ahimelech (1 Sam 22). He remained loyal to David (2 Sam 15:24) but would later turn against Solomon (1 King 2:26).
Doeg - an Edomite called "a certain man of the servants of Saul." This man caused the bloody deaths of 85 priests at Nob, because the High Priest had offered bread to David (1 Sam 21:7).
Eleazar - The second of David's mighty men. He was the son of Dodo (2 Sam 23:9).
Hushai - One of David's friends and counselor. He pretended to be on Absalom's side but gave him ridiculous advice (2 Sam 15:31-37).
Ishbi-Benob - This was a Philistine giant who was killed by Abishai as he was about to kill David (2 Sam 21:16-17).
Ittai - He was from Gath. He left his Philistine city to go live with David in Jerusalem. During Absalom's revolt and when David was driven out of the city, Ittai placed his 600-man army at David's disposal (2 Sam 15:21).
Jonadab - A nephew of David's, the son of David's brother Shimeah (2 Sam 13:3). He plotted with Amnon, David's son, to have relations with Amnon's half-sister Tamar.
Jonathan - Another nephew of David's, also the son of Shimeah who killed a giant from Gath who was defying Israel (2 Sam 21:20-21).
Machir - The caretaker for Mephibosheth before David took him to the palace. He also was David's friend during Absalom's rebellion (2 Sam 17:27).
Shobi - An Amorite, the son of Nahash (who was an enemy of Israel - 1 Sam 11:1), who befriended David and brought them provisions while he was escaping from Absalom (2 Sam 17:27).
Shammah - The third of David's mighty men, the son of Agee the Hararite (2 Sam 23:11). The Lord gave him a mighty victory as he stood his ground in defeating the Philistines.
Sheba - After the rebellion of Absalom had been put down, Sheba, a Benjamite started up his own insurrection against David (2 Sam 20:1).
Shimei - When David was being run out of town by Absalom, Shimei cursed him and threw rocks. He was later forgiven by David but held in house arrest in Jerusalem and executed by Solomon for crossing beyond the borders of Jerusalem (2 Sam 16:5-6, 19:16-23; 1 Kings 2:42).
Shimeah - David's brother (2 Sam 13:3), also known as Shammah. Solomon - David's greatest son, born to Bathsheba and also the firstborn in Jerusalem. He would become the third king in the history of Israel and the nation's most powerful. He would later build the Temple that David had wanted to build (2 Sam 12:24).
Tamar - David's daughter, defiled by her step-brother Amnon (2 Sam 13:1; 1 Chron 3:9), avenged by her brother Absalom.
Zadok - In the priesthood, Zadok was 11th in descent from Aaron. He was loyal to David (2 Sam 15:24). He shared the high office with Abiathar for a short period. Zadok anointed Solomon as king and would become the sole high priest (1 King 1:39-40).
Bathing - Why was Bathsheba bathing in public view? Baths were a rare occasion back in those times. Water was hard to find. There was no indoor plumbing and the water had to be drawn from deep wells or saved from the rain in rock cisterns. Baths were a luxury, the weather was probably warm and she probably had the window open. Soap in those days was made from the ashes of certain burnt plants. Between baths people rubbed themselves with olive oil to cover up the body odors (2 Sam 11:2).
The Watchman - As David's small army battled the army of his son Absalom, David waited at Mahanaim to see the result. Standing on the top of the wall was the watchman whose duty was to warn the king of anyone approaching the city (2 Sam 18:24-27).
Araunah's Threshing Floor - The location of great Bible history. Mount Moriah was where Abraham offered Isaac to be sacrificed. Centuries later, David would buy Araunah's threshing floor. God had commanded David to build an altar on the site. Later, Solomon would build God's holy temple on the same location. This is the site of the temple mount in today's Israel
(2 Sam 18-25).
The Threshing Sledge - When the farmer would want to separate the kernels from the stalks of wheat, corn or barley, he would use a threshing sledge. It was made of wood planks and looked like a sled or toboggan but heavier. The bottom was covered with stones or metal. Hitched to oxen, it was dragged over the stalks of crops as men or children stood on it for extra weight (2 Sam 24:22).

SANTA ANA - A former coach of an Irvine-based girls' soccer team pleaded not guilty Tuesday to having a 13-year-old girl make pornographic videos of herself for him, some of which he allegedly posted online.
Robert Vincent Peace, 45, of Lake Forest, met the girl, who is from Endicott, N.Y., through an online video chat room in 2009, Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Walker said. He had the girl send him videos of herself masturbating, she said.
Peace, a citizen of the United Kingdom, later threatened to post the videos online if the alleged victim did not continue to send new pornographic pictures of herself, Walker said. Peace posted some of the videos online anyway, she alleged.
Prosecutors today charged Peace, who was arrested Friday, with 16 felonies and a sentencing enhancement allegation for substantial sexual conduct with a child.
An Orange County Superior Court judge doubled Walker's bail to $500,000 at his arraignment, Walker said.
Peace allegedly possessed more than 1,500 images and more than 300 videos of child pornography featuring teenage girls on his computer, Walker said.
Someone in Peace's family came across the alleged child pornography in February 2011 and gave the hard drive to Orange County sheriff's deputies, Walker said.
That prompted an investigation headed by the Orange County Child Exploitation Task Force, which includes agents from U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement, Orange County Sheriff's Department and Huntington Beach Police Department.
Investigators suspect there may be more victims because Peace coached the Irvine Blades, a soccer team for girls younger than 14, Walker said.
The charges against Peace include three of lewd acts on a child younger than 14, six of lewd acts on a child, three of contacting a child with the intent to commit lewd acts on a child, two of using a minor for sex acts and one each of using a child for distribution of obscene material and possession and control of child pornography.

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer
OLYMPIA — Lawmakers will get a critical piece of information this week that may hamper their ability to steer more money into public schools without mining new streams of revenue.
The latest forecast of tax collections will be released Wednesday and is the final nugget of data House and Senate budget writers need to finish drawing up their respective two-year spending plans.
Collections are expected to be down. When combined with unanticipated increases in Medicaid costs, the state may be facing a gaping $1.5 billion hole in the next biennium.
Then there's education to deal with.
Last year, the Supreme Court found lawmakers in violation of the state constitution for not providing enough money for the basic education of students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Justices want to see progress in the form of a down payment in this next budget.
"The conversation has already been taking place," said Sen. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor, a member of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, which will produce a two-year spending plan in early April.
"When the final analysis comes out, we will have put more money into education," she said. "This is a big week. Until you know what your resources are going to be, it's very difficult to go forward."
Republicans and Democrats alike say they are ready to set aside more money in the 2013-15 budget than in the current one. But they differ on how much and where it will come from.
Republicans contend they can erase the deficit and boost school funding without raising new taxes or extending existing ones. House Republicans put out a proposal last week to inject roughly $800 million into basic education in the next two years but they do not suggest where cuts in other areas will be made to cover that amount.
In the Senate, where Republicans dominate the Majority Coalition Caucus, there is no support for new taxes but a few members may back the closing of tax loopholes to generate cash.
"We think we can get between half a billion and a billion and a half of new money into K-12," said Sen. Steve Litzow, R-Mercer Island, the chairman of the Senate education committee.
"This is what is going to make Wednesday interesting," he said. "I can fund education. I can't fund anything else. The real question is how do you fund the non-education stuff?"
Litzow insisted the court ruling, known as the McCleary decision, is not simply about a sum of money but also about making changes that boost the achievement of students.
That's why they intend to invest most significantly in programs which aid minority students of low-income families who perform worse than their peers, he said.
"We don't solve for McCleary," he said. "We solve for better student achievement. We solve for better student learning,"
Democrats in the House and Senate are seeking $1.4 billion to $1.7 billion for schools — after erasing the shortfall.
"You need to make an investment," said Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe, D-Bothell, the ranking Democrat and former chairwoman of the Senate education panel. "You have to fund the reforms that are on the books now."
Democratic leaders in both chambers have been saying they see no way to balance the budget, establish a reserve and respond to the McCleary decision without a mix of spending cuts and new revenue. Closing tax loopholes — an idea they support — won't be enough.
Some Democrats want to extend a temporary tax on beer and a temporary surcharge on lawyers, accounts and other professionals that are scheduled to expire June 30. But their party leaders are holding off from endorsing any specific revenue proposal.
Though raising or extending taxes no longer requires a supermajority vote, they said doing so remains politically difficult because the public liked the bar set high.
"Voters want us to be reasonable. We'll be reasonable," said Rep. Ross Hunter, D-Medina, the chief budget writer in the House.

The Office of Student Conduct at Ferris State University is educationally focused and student oriented. Our process is not designed to punish, but instead help students consider the impact of their behaviors. Students are challenged to consider how their behavior may affect the attainment of their goals, compromise their academic success, and/or how their actions may impact the community. Students can expect to be treated with respect, fairness, and compassion. We sincerely care about the success of our students and provide intervention and resources to help students make healthy choices and good decisions. When this happens, students are best prepared to make informed choices that are in their best interest as well as the interest of our living/learning environment. The OSC staff embraces the Core Values of the University and encourages our students to appreciate them and live accordingly.
Ferris State University has students sought out by business and industry before they graduate, with some disciplines having a 100 percent placement rate of those graduates who responded to a graduate follow-up survey. Our college offers small lab sizes, state-of-the-industry equipment, and clinical or internship experiences in each program.

So! I start teaching at the two community colleges the Tuesday after Labor Day. Next Tuesday marks the start of staff meetings. Of course, both colleges are holding important, orientation-type meetings for new adjuncts on the SAME DAY, but I was lucky that the staff meetings at Not Local Community College (NLCC) end in exactly enough time for me to hop in the car and make my way to Local Community College in time to make it to the meetings there.
I've just about got my syllabi put together. I've found myself stressing most about the schedule part of the document; I tend not to schedule out a semester's worth of classes just because experience has taught me that scheduling is a pointless exercise; the first two days go as planned, generally, but then the class takes on a life of its own. I don't want to spend a lot of time and energy on a plan that I'm going to abandon in the second week of classes. If I abandon the idea of mapping out every last class meeting, I can say with some confidence that my syllabi are ready to be printed.
Neither of the classes I'm teaching (college composition and developmental writing, which is essentially pre-comp) are particularly challenging for me to teach; I've done it many times before, and I have more than ample materials and facility with the process to make it work. I'm going into two entirely new environments, however, and I think that's what's accounting for the mild case of low-level jitters I'm experiencing lately. I'm sure that, once I get a feel for what the respective colleges are like (and get to know my colleagues and supervisors a bit better), I'll fit right in.
So, that's my professional life at the moment. What are YOU all up to?

This is so clever . I am wondering if you could substitute other plates or dishes if you could not find the terra cotta saucers in the right sizes. In fact, you could probably use mismatched plates or thrift store finds, depending upon where you would place this cute turtle! If you do put it in the garden, plastic, China or glass would probably be OK in the weather. This idea can spur you on even more creativity and of course, who doesn't like a cute turtle in the garden! )

WOW. This little guy is so cute and will be a great addition to any garden or even a fairy garden. You can adjust the size of the turtle by the terra cotta saucers you get. Pick out any color of your choice and decorate any way you want. Maybe even put a ribbon on head for a girl turtle or even put a small terra cotta planter on top with a succulent in it. Great tutorial for such a pretty piece.

where can I find the 4 1/2 inch saucers? I've looked everywhere I can think of. Please help!

Love any type of turtle projects, as my 5 year old grandaughter is in love with all turtles. Due to her grandfather has given her nickname "Turtle" her room is decorated with all types of turtles. Indoor or outdoor designs, it doesn't matter. The fact that she can design them herself is great, for she has a great imagination, and take great pride in her work. This is something to keep us both occupied, as she practicley lives at our house and has her own room here.

I found the wooden oval and candle cups at Hobby Lobby. I'm also having a hard time finding the right sizes of saucers. As far as I can tell they don't exist. Found a 4.25" at Walmart. No luck on the others. I've noticed a lot of the craft ideas they offer have components that are not easy to find. What's the point if you have to hunt all over the city for parts? Discouraging.

hi, i want to make this turtle and cannot find the right saucers. all they have here are 3,4, 5, and 6. could not find the wood oval either, or the wood candle cups in either size. can you tell me where to get them. thank you. nancy

LONG BEACH - After a decade of balancing deficits, City Council members decided that proposed cuts for next year - some of which would have ended youth programs at most parks - were ultimately too close to the bone.
The City Council passed its 2013 spending plan 7-0 late Tuesday, enacting $12.9 million in reductions but staving off some abatements to parks, libraries, police and other services that had been proposed through $17.2 million in downsizing suggested in the budget City Manager Pat West unveiled Aug. 1.
The $396.8 million general fund budget takes effect Oct. 1.
What remains from West's outline still transforms Long Beach's delivery of services, merging the South and West police divisions into a new Central Division, consolidating detective units, implementing a new paramedic service model and taking a fire engine out of service, among other changes.
The budget vote came after hours of discussion over a proposal introduced and approved only hours earlier by the Budget Oversight Committee. Councilman Dee Andrews was absent, while Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske was at the meeting, but left the dais just before the vote.
The plan built off earlier recommendations by West and used $2.1 million in new revenue from oil money and other sources to reinstate library staff, disabled recreation, pool hours, positions at the El Dorado Nature Center and senior programs.
That proposal, which was read into the council's record Tuesday by Councilman Gary DeLong, the budget committee chairman, maintains $3 million for sidewalk repairs and adds $300,000 for tree trimming.
It also increases fees for unspecified park programs, generating $335,000. DeLong said no free programs would be affected.
Ann Cantrell, who organized a petition drive that collected more than 2,000 signatures in support of saving programs at the El Dorado Nature Center, criticized the budget on Wednesday for restoring only $110,000 of staff downsizing instead of the full $165,000 on the cutting board.
Cantrell said the workers are all trained naturalists whose services are of great benefit to the public, and especially children, in urban Long Beach.
"These are part-time positions and they don't even get benefits," she added.
After-school and youth programs at parks - accounted for as a continuing expense in a plan advanced by West last week - were funded with $1.3 million in one-time sources under the approved budget, meaning the council will have to find funding again next year to continue the programs.
In total, $4.3 million of budget items restored through the use of one-time dollars are ongoing expenses, officials said.
The items include the youth programs and $374,000 for a prisoner transport unit.
Another $2.6 million was set aside for police overtime, gang unit officers and neighborhood safety liaisons. How that money is spread among those services will be up to Police Chief Jim McDonnell.
Mayor Bob Foster expressed discomfort over the council's decision to raise the price floor of oil money used in day-to-day expenses from $65 per barrel to $70, generating $1.3 million. If actual oil prices fall below this projection, the city won't have enough money to maintain the budget as approved.
A projected $10.9 million deficit for next year will swell since one-time dollars are being used for structural spending, Foster added.
"And that gives me a lot of heartburn," Foster said. "I want to put that on the table."
Before the vote, Councilman Steven Neal made a motion to continue budget deliberations until next week. The council's deadline for passing a budget each year is Sept. 15.
The motion, which failed 3-5, was seconded by Councilman Al Austin. Schipske also voted to postpone the vote.
"It gives more opportunity for our residents to weigh in, as well as this council to really fine-tune the budget before us," Austin said.
Cantrell, an attendee of the meeting, claimed the budget was "railroaded" through the council.
"I'm disappointed that this budget was rushed through last night before the public even had a chance to see it," Cantrell said.
DeLong said Wednesday that the proposals presented were the result of input from residents and community budget meetings - most of which he attended in his role as budget committee chairman.
"I think that we were prepared, I think we had a full discussion and it was time to move forward," he said.
DeLong, a Republican running for Long Beach's congressional seat against state Sen. Alan Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, compared local lawmakers favorably against those in Sacramento.
"One of the things the Legislature is guilty of is procrastination, but in Long Beach we're not afraid to make difficult decisions," DeLong said.
Earlier in Tuesday's meeting, Schipske also criticized the timing of the decision and protested some aspects of the budget, including the planned but not-yet-specified fire engine reduction.
"That's kind of an interesting way to budget," Schipske said. "We'll get the details after we pass the budget."
Long Beach Fire Chief Mike DuRee has said that the engine selected for mothballing could be identified this week.

Remember that a line is not necessarily a word, in the above.

If you want to cheat, and see what the article is about, go here: http://www.bluehornet.com/reveal but only if you were one of the kids that peeked at all his/her Christmas presents a week in advance.
Thought about posting this in Web Design, but aside from the neato-keeno design/code behind the effect, for me it's about a spiffy way to present text content.
I think you should post both links in Web Design. It's way cool, but coolest is after you have read the first article the second link lets you see it in action!
OH I TAKE IT BACK! This is great content from both links. Leave it here! (I thought it was posted in a secret decoder forum.)
Web Design shouldn't get all the good stufz.
That decoder glass idea is really cool!
This is perfect if you want to entice your visitors to do a certain action which in this case, hovering their mouse on a particular section of your page.
Exactly... get going with decoder glass idea. Check how things go and later you can go for other options, in case you need them.
What 'other options' would you suggest?
Great Post.
I think that this alternate implementation of the "Anything Zoomer" is going to be used a lot on the web. CSS is changing so fast and I am trying to keep up with it.
Really cool! I want to make my own decoder!
By the looks of things it's only one image displaying, the magic is in the lenses.
Edit: nope it's two images, but I really think you only need one to do this effect.

Whitley Strieber's Unknown Country - The Lake Eerie UFO Case: an Outstanding Report!
Monday, November 19, 2012
It's not often that a UFO case gets such expert treatment as is seen here in Wes Penre's deeply researched and careful analysis of the Michael Lee Hill Lake Eerie UFO case. Noteworthy is the fact that a documentary that was being done by Spike TV on Hill was abruptly cancelled by 'higher authorities.' As many who have gone down that same road know, all too often, UFO related projects are abruptly cancelled for unknown reasons by media at every level. It is hard to believe that some sort of intervention from the outside is routinely suppressing sensible and positive stories about this subject.

Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura, - a cover up of an extraterrestrial invasion"- the so-called "Skinwalker Ranch - The Lake Erie UFO's, Michael Lee Hill & The "BAASS" Bigelow Aerospace investigator!
BAASS means 'Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies', and sounds like a government organization. However, it is not. It is a company, owned by real estate billionaire Robert Bigelow of Las Vegas, Nevada.[12] In late 2009, Robert Bigelow made a deal with MUFON (the 'Mutual UFOs Network), which is officially a non-profit organization which investigates UFO sightings. It is one of the largest and oldest UFO organizations in the United States. Bigelow has promised to provide MUFON with whatever they need to find actual hardcore proof of the existence of alien spacecraft (and of course, alien beings). This means, foremost, alien debris of crashed UFOs etc. For many UFO enthusiasts, this is met with both positive and negative responses. Positive in the sense that MUFON now have the funding they need to expand their investigations, and negative in the sense that some feel that MUFON is now owned by Bigelow. And MUFON has been working as an independent research group, allegedly.
Figure A-13. Billionaire Robert Bigelow, big UFO 'enthusiast'?
However, the above debate is probably not even what is the most relevant. In a policy from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, Order JO 7110.65U with effective date, February 9, 2012, it says under Section 8. Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) Reports:
a. Persons wanting to report UFO/unexplained phenomena activity should contact a UFO/ unexplained phenomena reporting data collection center, such as Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) (voice: 1-877-979-7444 or e-mail: email@example.com), the National UFO Reporting Center, etc.
b. If concern is expressed that life or property might be endangered, report the activity to the local law enforcement department.[13]
This should be quite concerning for the serious UFO enthusiast and researcher, because it shows a definite link between Robert Bigelow's BAASS and the Federal Government. So the FAA, as of February 2012, wants us to report UFO sightings to a private company, under the disguise of a very government sounding name (similar to the 'Federal Reserve', which is not Federal at all, but privately owned by International bankers, such as the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers). And of course, if we follow the trail, we find MUFON on the other side, collecting funds from Bigelow, who has his government connection. So, privacy and integrity is therefore most likely to go out the window, although I'm sure MUFON hasn't been working in public interest for many, many years. This is all, as usual, just the tiniest tip of the iceberg.
So, how does Robert Bigelow come into the picture in regards to the Eastlake UFOs, which is the story line for this paper? Well, in the midst of all happenings in Michael Lee Hill's life, he was contacted by Investigator Gary Hernandez, who said he was looking into the Lake Erie phenomenon. In August of 2010, Hernandez sent a message on Michael's facebook page, inquiring about what Michael knew about the Eastlake UFOs. In short, they communicated some back and forth, and Michael was sharing some information with the investigator, because he wanted the story to come out in the open as much, and as soon as possible.
Figure A-14. BAAS Investigator, Gary Hernandez
In November, curiously enough, Investigator Hernandez, in a facebook message I have in my possession, told Michael there were certain things he couldn't tell him due to the nature of a contract Hernandez had signed. He added, "I don't want to disappear now!", indicating that he was at great risk if he told Michael about classified things. A few days after that he wrote: "In regards to BAASS I am the only investigator who has been revealed through the Isles of Capri, Fla., Niagara Falls, Canada , the Lake Erie incident and the skin walker ranch .org website [Wes' emphasis] under whos [sic] involved (it just so happened that I was an aggresive [sic] investigator and was written about often). If the report is viewed by the screeners I will be identified. I would like to speak about it but we must keep BAASS out of it for it is a keyword in the system."
Apparently, Hernandez wanted to keep the Skinwalker Ranch in low profile as well, breaking up the web address in several parts (see bold emphasis above). We will discuss that place a little bit as well in a moment, but first, let's see what he meant when he was telling Michael about being the 'aggressive investigator'. Let's back up a little bit.
Eugene Ehrlikh of Cleveland, Ohio, had filmed some UFOs over Lake Erie, and the media got involved in the case, just like it had with Michael Lee Hill. So MUFON thought they should get involved as well, and sent an investigator named Tom Wertmen to the sighting spot. MUFON's conclusion over what they saw was planet Venus, but they changed their minds saying that what Ehrlikh had filmed was aircraft coming in and out over Lake Erie from Hopkins-Cleveland International Airport. Investigator Wertmen allegedly had spoken to traffic controllers at the airport, but no references or names were disclosed. This event has been documented by Lon Strickler on his blogspot.[14]
Strickler continues to report that both Ehrlikh and Hill simultaneously had filmed the same UFO event over the lake, without any knowledge of each other. Both were then presenting their material on 'The Alien Agenda' radio show. A few days later, on April 8, 2010, Ehrlikh was called by someone who introduced himself as an investigator from BAASS, something which was later confirmed as being correct. The caller introduced himself, and although Strickler doesn't mention him by name, the investigator was Gary Hernandez. Hernandez then demanded that Ehrlikh gave him the exact coordinates where the sighting had taken place, and when Ehrlikh started questioning the caller, Hernandez told him that these lights were not of terrestrial origin, but alien, and that there was big money involved in trying to get this technology. Ehrlikh then hung up the phone. Ehrlikh didn't have any particular problem, allegedly, to talk to MUFON or some other UFO investigative organization, but like Strickler says, when someone calls, beings quite 'aggressive', and demanding information from the witness, it is indeed time to question the motives of the caller.
So, Hernandez is calling both Ehrlikh and Hill to investigate the sighting, and he reveals to the first that this is alien technology that we are seeing in the skies above the lake (and if he is correct, in other parts of the world, too), and that there is a lot of money invested in this. And indeed, although he seems to have had more cold feet when talking to Michael, in the beginning of their communication he hinted at the same thing, saying (and I quote): "In Regards to the Lights over Lake Erie I am not absolutely convinced that they are coming from conventional aircraft. As an investigator I must be completely objective with any UFO reports which has had multiple witnesses. BAASS employees are paid professionals, all the investigators are formal Law enforcement detectives who have a higher level set of skills and experience. MUFON Takes anyone who pays the money and passes the test and works for free. That does not make them a credible source for information for me to except [sic] they're [sic] conclusion."
However, as time went by and he apparently got more confident with Michael, he told Michael that they knew what the Lake Erie phenomenon is, because it is the exact thing that is happening in Hessdalen, Norway. But not only there; these object were also flying over Utah Skinwalker Ranch, which is owned by Robert Bigelow! He said that his conclusion regarding these orbs is not that they are what people think and expect, which would be 'physical metal, nuts & bolts UFOs', as he put it, but instead more like portals and have to do with time travel. These were Hernandez' own words, according to Michael Lee Hill.
The results from years of study at the Skinwalker Ranch was released in a book called, 'Hunt for the Skinwalker', by Colm A, Kelleher and George Knapp[15]. I need to add the synopsis of the book here, as presented at amazon.com. It's pretty interesting:
"The author of the controversial bestseller Brain Trust brings his scientific expertise to the chilling true story of unexplained phenomena on Utah's Skinwalker Ranch -- and challenges us with a new vision of reality.
For more than fifty years, the bizarre events at a remote Utah ranch have ranged from the perplexing to the wholly terrifying. Vanishing and mutilated cattle. Unidentified Flying Objects. The appearance of huge, otherworldly creatures. Invisible objects emitting magnetic fields with the power to spark a cattle stampede. Flying orbs of light with dazzling maneuverability and lethal consequences. For one family, life on the Skinwalker Ranch had become a life under siege by an unknown enemy or enemies. Nothing else could explain the horrors that surrounded them -- perhaps science could.
Leading a first-class team of research scientists on a disturbing odyssey into the unknown, Colm Kelleher spent hundreds of days and nights on the Skinwalker property and experienced firsthand many of its haunting mysteries. With investigative reporter George Knapp -- the only journalist allowed to witness and document the team's work -- Kelleher chronicles in superb detail the spectacular happenings the team observed personally, and the theories of modern physics behind the phenomena. Far from the coldly detached findings one might expect, their conclusions are utterly hair-raising in their implications. Opening a door to the unseen world around us, Hunt for the Skinwalker is a clarion call to expand our vision far beyond what we know."[16]
And this place is owned by billionaire Robert Bigelow! Can anybody sense a bigger story here? For those who are interested (and I'm sure most of us are), there is an interview on YouTube with the above authors:
Multimedia A-4.
But as far as Michael Lee Hill goes, the Bigelow part of the story doesn't end here. After Hernandez had contacted Ehrlikh (and Hill as well), he got a phone call from 'The Alien Agenda' radio program, he told Michael. The caller asked Hernandez, "Why are you contacting Lake Erie UFO witnesses??? Didn't MUFON already state "Case Closed"; that they were just airplanes???"
The conclusion I must come to, in regards to what we have discussed in this section, is that MUFON, Robert Bigelow, and the U.S. Government are working together to cover up the real agenda behind 'investigating' the Lake Erie Phenomenon, which in fact is worldwide. Their real agenda (on a lower top level of the Shadow Government) is again to research nano technology, because that's where the future is. Like one of my sources once said, "those who control the nano world are in control of the Universe." This is big, much bigger than people think. The biggest investments will be in the smallest of worlds -- the super subquantum, or the nano world. And those who know what they are doing, and why, will achieve what they want, using any means to get it. Those who have read this whole series of papers, of which this is the Appendix, know what I'm talking about.
In Episode #5 of Season Three of Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura, Jesse and the crew take on what the narrator refers to as "the most far out conspiracy yet- a cover up of an extraterrestrial invasion" by Bigelow Aerospace and the so-called "Skinwalker" Conspiracy."
In conspiracy theory culture, multiple theories exist suggesting that, not only do aliens from another world exist and visit us, but that they might be in contact and collaborating with the U.S. government. Some theories even go as far as to suggest that aliens are actually stationed here on Earth, living in secret with the government's aid and approval.
The so-called "Skinwalker Conspiracy" alleges that such high-level collaboration between our government and alien species from other worlds is a reality. The theory is named after the Skinwalker Ranch, a location in Utah with a history of paranormal phenomena and possible UFO interaction. "Skinwalker" is a term from Native American culture to describe supernatural entities that have the ability to shape-shift, and many believe the origin of their myth is rooted in real-life experiences Native Americans have had with aliens and UFO's.
According to the show's narrator, the ranch was bought in 1996 by billionaire aerospace magnate Robert Bigelow, after the previous owners were allegedly driven away from the property by the paranormal events they encountered on a regular basis. Believers in the "Skinwalker Conspiracy" think Bigelow bought the ranch to investigate these paranormal phenomena, and that he might be in contact with alien entities, seeking his own answers to the UFO mystery and possibly trying to unlock the secrets of their advanced technology.
The team's investigation begins with Jesse meeting Robert Regehr, a believer in the Skinwalker Conspiracy, and retired scientist who worked with NASA on the Apollo moon missions and the Skylab Space Station. "I get a lot of calls from a lot of people that want me to investigate conspiracies. This one was different from the start. This guy said he had a conspiracy that is out of this world," says Jesse, in a voice-over. Regehr explains to Jesse that with NASA losing its heavy-launch capability to send craft into space, that "just like the Oklahoma land rush, there's a lot of civilians moving in to take over the void left by NASA." Jesse seems concerned with this move to privatization. "Fat-cat corporate suits… they're already making billions in salaries, and now they're finding a new way to keep us under control- from above," says Jesse, ominously. Regehr points out further concerns with having such operations privatized. "I'm concerned that they're going to start doing a lot of things that were before constrained by international treaties." When Jesse asks if these private companies would have the ability to weaponize space, Regehr confirms Jesse's fears. "The conspiracy is that there's a large consortium of corporations that make Wall Street look like children. Think Blackwater, KBR, Halliburton" explains Regehr. Jesse seems rather unnerved by the proposition. "These guys could be spying on us, shooting at us, enslaving us from outer space. Heck, they could be colluding with aliens from space- I wouldn't put it past them," says Jesse, in a voice-over. "Wild, Wild West all over again," Regehr confirms.
Jesse heads back to headquarters and gathers his team together to talk Skinwalkers. "Alright people, this one's a big one. This person told me that NASA, our space program, is basically being shut down and it's being turned over to private enterprise." Tyrel Ventura, Jesse's son and investigative team member doesn't like the sound of it. "Now we're going to turn space over to these kind of people?" Jesse's advisor, Braverman, explains that the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), which is overseen by the U.S. State Department, allows only one exception to its ban on private companies exporting weapons and munitions into space- Robert Bigelow and Bigelow Aerospace. "He can legitimately take weapons into space and he's the only one that's allowed?" asks a stunned Jesse. "Now you have to ask why, he, out of all them, has an exception? And what's the end game?" wonders Braverman. "I think, people, we better get on this. Let's find out everything we can about this Mr. Bigelow and go from there," says Jesse.
Tyrel heads out to meet with Don Ecker, former research director for UFO Magazine and a paranormal expert. Ecker explains that Bigelow, a Las Vegas native, is a multi-billionaire and former owner of the Budget Suites hotel chain and still owner of Bigelow Aerospace. According to Ecker, as of 2010, public records show that Bigelow has invested over $180 million into Bigelow Aerospace. "To me, he sounds like a new millennium Howard Hughes," observes Tyrel. "There is no doubt he has a dedicated approach to getting into outer space," believes Ecker.
Ecker details Bigelow's long history with UFO research, originally spurred on by an incident his grandparents experienced with a UFO close encounter outside of Las Vegas. Ecker also points out that, long before he invested in aerospace, Bigelow founded an organization called NIDS (National Institute for Discovery Science) to investigate the UFO phenomenon. "Do you know exactly what he was looking for?" asks Tyrel. "Utlimately, proof of extraterrestrial contact," says Ecker. Ecker explains that Bigelow and his team spent eight years searching for alien contact at the ranch, but then mysteriously stopped research in 2004. "All the evidence, all the data that's been collected, has been locked away by Mr. Bigelow," says Ecker.
Meanwhile, team member and son of filmmaker Oliver Stone, Sean Stone, meets with nuclear physicist and ufologist Dr. Franklin Ruehl, whom the team also consulted on the "Time Travel Conspiracy" episode from earlier in Season Three. According to the narrator, Ruehl has followed up on every UFO sighting and close encounter of the last 20 years. "Robert Bigelow knows something the rest of us don't, and it's vitally important, Sean," explains Dr. Ruehl. Ruehl cites an interesting interview with Bigelow from the New York Times in June 2010, in which Bigelow, when asked about UFO's, stated that "People have been killed. People have been hurt." "Wait, what do you mean people have been killed?" asks Sean. Ruehl explains that Dr. Jack Sarfatti, a theoretical physicist and consciousness researcher, was told by reliable sources that there as an invasion of aliens on Skinwalker Ranch, and that a number of Bigelow's men were killed or injured by aliens. "What they had on that ranch was like the movie 'Cowboys and Aliens'," believes Ruehl.
However, when asked later about his mysterious quote about people dying and being injured by UFO's, Bigelow claims he was referring to the Colares, Brazil incident from 1977, not anything that happened at Skinwalker Ranch. The Colares incident was an alleged UFO sighting and attack on the island of Colares in Brazil, during which radiation beams fired by the UFO's injured or killed up to 35 people. Dr. Ruehl also cites an entry on the NIDS website from 2001 in which Bigelow stated that they wanted to develop the same technology as "our UFO friends." "That is the question- did they actually provide him with technology?" asks Ruehl. "It's a scary and dangerous place, but the key is the Skinwalker Ranch."
Sean and Tyrel return to headquarters to report their findings to Jesse. "Well, I tell you what, I don't want two eyes up at this Skinwalker Ranch, I want four, which means I want you both to go," instructs Jesse. Tyrel and Sean then head out to meet up with Zach Van Eyck, who the narrator describes as the individual who wrote the first stories to reach the public about the Skinwalker Ranch. Van Eyck relates a story of a sighting he experienced near the ranch in which openings in the sky appeared, and unusual craft came flying out of them. "Like a portal?" Sean asks, as Tyrel shakes his head in disbelief. The narrator suggests that it was Van Eyck's article that inspired Bigelow to buy the ranch. The guys ask if Van Eyck knows of any encounters Bigelow and his team have experienced since owning the ranch. "We'll never really know, because Bob Bigelow owns the property and controls all the information, in and out," says Van Eyck. "My recommendation to you guys you have to go on a very dark night."
Next, Tyrel and Sean meet with paranormal researcher, Christopher O'Brien, for further insight into Skinwalker Ranch and the phenomena occurring there. "Every type of paranormal event you could possibly imagine at some time has been reported here." Tyrel asks O'Brien if anyone has ever been killed at the ranch, and O'Brien claims that he has heard from several reliable sources that there was an incident at the ranch and that some guards were killed by "something." "By aliens?" asks Tyrel. "That would be the logical, you know, lead," believes O'Brien. O'Brien also contends that Bigelow's agenda is to collect as much scientific data as he can to "give his scientific team a leg up when designing advanced propulsion systems" via reverse engineering. When Tyrel asks O'Brien if he would be willing to join them on a stakeout of Skinwalker Ranch that evening, O'Brien refuses. "No, I don't want to get shot. I don't want to be around trigger-happy ex-military guys."
However, Skinwalker Ranch expert Ryan Skinner has agreed to join the guys on their stakeout. "It's one of the most scariest places on earth. I've been doing this for five years, and each time I've had a close encounter occur here at the ranch," explains Skinner. The ranch is under constant guard and surveillance, so the guys have to tread carefully. "Let's take a look, see how far we can make it around the perimeter," says Sean, who proceeds to jump the fence. "Is he in danger right now?" Tyrel asks Skinner. Skinner concurs. "There are armed guards out there man! Hey Sean, get back here man!" yells Tyrel. Suddenly, Sean turns, runs back and hops back over the fence. "It's weird. I'm getting a tingling sensation in my muscle. Right here, right here in the thigh," says Sean. "It felt like something electromagnetically attacked me, and that's when I ran back."
Meanwhile, team member June Sarpong meets with Las Vegas Sun business reporter Richard Velotta to discuss the activities of Bigelow Aerospace. Velotta tells June about the space habitats Bigelow Aerospace is producing, where people can live and work in space , which can then be connected together to form a space station. "So, if all of these are attached and keep growing, it will essentially be a city," observes June. "It'll be a city in space," says Velotta. "Started by a private individual," June replies. Velotta then tells June that in 2007 and 2009 Bigelow launched two such crafts from Russia, called Genesis 1 and 2, which are the only private spacecraft currently orbiting Earth. "They're doing something," says June. "Yes, they're doing something, but I can't tell you what that something would be," says Velotta.
With the rest of his team out in the field on assignment, Jesse meets with UFO investigator Elaine Douglass to gather more information about Bigelow's relationship to MUFON and UFO research, in general. "MUFON's job is to be absolutely transparent and make all the information available to the public. Robert Bigelow seems to have a different agenda. His agenda seems to be to get the information for himself and his quote 'unseen backers'," says Douglass. "'Unseen backers' is what Mr. Bigelow told the MUFON board he had when he offered them $760,000 for a one year contract. When all this started happening, MUFON suddenly jumped up and said 'these investigations are secret'. Although in the whole history of MUFON, we've always been completely open about it." Bigelow would soon replace MUFON investigators with his own team, possibly, according to Douglass, to recover craft and gather evidence before anybody else can. Also, his investigators are allegedly sworn to secrecy. "Any evidence that aliens made contact is locked away. The only people with access are Bigelow and his cronies," says Jesse, in a voice-over. "Is there a possibility that these secret backers could be extraterrestrials?" he asks Douglass.
"Back at Skinwalker Ranch, things really do begin to happen after dark," says the narrator. While setting up their gear for the night time stakeout, the crew experiences strange technical difficulties. "Something electronic is clouding your signal," says one of the crew members to Tyrel. Apparently, the camera also is having problems, due to a drained battery.
As Sean, Tyrel, and Ryan Skinner drive to another location around the ranch, the radio in the car starts acting strange, spouting out weird robotic-like voice distortions. "Is it a hidden message, or a threat?" asks the narrator. The subtitles of the strange sounds decipher them as threatening phrases, such as "true evil" and "get off." Then the voices from the radio apparently start saying "evil, so evil." Now out of the car, Skinwalker researcher Ryan Skinner leads them to another "hotspot" on the ranch. He then describes an event he witnessed where he and other observers spotted eight spheres of pulsating light, with three eventually breaking away from the pack, heading toward Skinner and the rest of the group.
Then, Sean interrupts Skinner's story. "Hold on a second," he says, asking for silence. "What you got Sean? What are you doing?" asks Tyrel. "Inviting the spirits to come out," explains Sean. According to the narrator "Sean's ritual paid off. Within minutes a light appears in the sky- it's a UFO." Skinner, armed with a laser pointer, points out the strange, glowing object in the sky. "Whoa, there it is!" exclaims Sean. The bright light hovers, makes a sharp turn, darts across the heavens, disappears for a moment, then reappears. "It's flashing us back," says Sean. "I just saw it- it's leaving a long trail. I just saw it with my own eyes," Tyrel confirms.
Shaken up by what they've seen at the ranch, Tyrel and Sean report back to Jesse. "You saw what?" asks Jesse. "I can't say what I saw, I don't know what I saw," says Tyrel. "Hold on- did you report this? Because you're supposed to report UFO sightings to the government," says Jesse. "We did, and they told us to contact Robert Bigelow at Bigelow Advanced Space Studies Group," says Sean. Jesse and the crew are stunned by Sean's discovery. "Contact Robert Bigelow? It's another sign he's trapping the truth, controlling information," says Jesse. "At what point did Bigelow become in charge?" he wonders. The narrator answers, pointing to a FAA directive from February 11, 2010, instructing the FAA to refer all UFO reports to the Bigelow Advanced Space Studies Group. "I think it's about time that Mr. Bigelow and Jesse Ventura have a face to face. Let's find this guy people," orders Jesse.
Jesse and the crew then head over to a Bigelow Aerospace factory, also located in Nevada. When the team approaches the building, they notice a strange logo on its façade- a Grey-like alien head. Jesse then leads the team to the main entrance, where they encounter guards who are also sporting the alien head logo on their hats. Jesse then asks one of the guards if there are aliens on the property, and the guard replies mysteriously, saying "I'm not able to answer any questions about what may or may not be on Mr. Bigelow's property. That would have to be routed through corporate, sir." Jesse's frustrated by the corporate stonewalling. "Yeah, we already ran it through corporate- no go! But then we got a tip on where we might find him."
"Make sure you hit him on the UFO question, this is very important," Sean says to Jesse, as he prepares for his confrontation with Bigelow. "And what I want to find out, too, is why is I the government defers to him," replies Jesse. "Is there a corporate takeover of UFO's too?" Jesse and the team have tracked down Bigelow at a meeting with the "aerospace elite" in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Jesse spots Bigelow as he's coming out of a conference room, introduces himself as Governor Ventura, and begins his line of questioning. "I heard that whenever there's a UFO sighting, they defer to you, the government. Is that true?" he asks. "It's a passion I've had for a lot of years. I have a company that is referred in the FAA manuals, that we're supposed to receive a phone call," explains Bigelow. When Jesse asks how that happened, Bigelow replies with a laugh and says "that's a long story."
Bigelow's people then hustle him away, but Sean is able to catch up with him a few minutes later and continues to ask him about UFO's. "Years ago, I had to make a decision that it was probably best that we not talk too much," explains Bigelow. Sean then asks him if he believes in UFO's, and Bigelow doesn't shy away. "Most folks have somebody in their family that has seen something very strange, that was anomalous. So, yes, I do believe that there is enough evidence, enough proof, that a prosaic explanation doesn't cover the phenomenon." When Sean asks about the "UFO friends" posting from the NIDS website, Bigelow denies that he ever said that or intended to say that. "Would you ever consider putting together some sort of dossier or document based on all the investigation you've done over the years?" asks Sean. "Right now is not the right time for that, and I don't see that on the horizon," states Bigelow.
After their encounters with Bigelow, Jesse seeks out the expertise of his old friend, conspiracy theorist and alternative media mogul, Alex Js. "Governor, Bigelow is an unwitting front man," explains Jones. "The guy who's really behind this is Col. John B. Alexander. This guy headed-up Special Forces in Vietnam, he brought the occult into the Pentagon in the 60, 70's, and 80's." The narrator adds that Alexander was part of the "First Earth Battalion," a "new age military project that tried to develop a super soldier who could walk through walls," which served as part of the inspiration for the book and film "The Men Who Stare at Goats." "Governor, it is insane when you start researching this," says Jones. "The head guy who ran Black Ops was at the genesis of this setup? What is he really doing in orbit? This is literally, the rabbit hole, right here. Something's going on." Jones goes on to warn Jesse that Alexander "is probably one of the most scary, living people out there today. He's the real deal, so watch it. He's one scary son-of-a-bitch."
According to the narrator, Alexander moved to Nevada in the 1990's to work for Bigelow on his UFO hunt. The narrator also states that "Alexander also led a top secret study into the government files. The study concluded that UFO's are not only real, but are controlled by superior intelligence." As Jesse and Alexander sit down in Las Vegas, Alexander denies he still works for Bigelow, but informs Jesse that Bigelow had called him to let him know about Jesse's efforts to track him down at the aerospace meeting. First, Jesse asks Alexander about the connection between the FAA and Bigelow in relation to UFO reporting. "Well, I'm the guy who set that up," says Alexander. "That was easy- he admits he's the connection. I wonder what else he's connected to," wonders Jesse, in a voice-over. "Some conspiracy theorists passionately believe that we have contact with alien life forms, and that they're passing to us technology that we're now using, that they term 'reverse engineering'. What do you say to that?" asks Jesse. "******** (Bullshit)," says Alexander. "Because I think your ******** (bullshit) filters just don't work." Jesse, however, doesn't buy it. "B.S.? Tell that to Bigelow's UFO friends!" says an incredulous Jesse, in a voice-over. Jesse then asks, "What's the story on the Skinwalker Ranch?" "It's a very strange place," Alexander replies, vaguely. When Jesse asks him if he was ever in charge of the ranch and their investigations, Alexander says he's been up there, but insists he never ran the place.
"When you tell me very strange things happened, define strange things to me, what is a strange thing that would happen at this ranch?" asks Jesse, seeking clarification. "I thought we agreed not to go off into here," says an annoyed, slightly frustrated Alexander. "I'm trying to learn about outer space. Is the government being truthful about what they've told us?" Jesse asks. "I'm not convinced those are related issues. That's the whole point." says Alexander. "So Skinwalker has nothing to do with space?" Jesse asks. "I don't think so, no," replies Alexander. Jesse has a big smile on his face, clearly enjoying making Alexander squirm. "Could you call up and get me to the ranch and let me spend a week there?" asks Jesse. "A, It's his ranch, and B, you'd be really bored," laughs Alexander. "I'm not so sure," says Jesse. "I had a couple of my protégés go up there and they said it wasn't boring at all." Jesse then asks if Bigelow ever stated that people were killed by extraterrestrials at his ranch. "He's talking about Corales, that stuff from Brazil," says Alexander. "It's pretty well known. It's a dumb statement," he jokes. "He admitted he's Bigelows connection, but will he admit that he's Bigelow's Dick Cheney- is he the one pulling the strings?" Jesse asks, in a voice-over. "You're not the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain?" Jesse asks Alexander. "Heavens, no!" says Alexander.
The investigation concludes with Sean and Tyrel meeting up with MUFON investigator Preston Dennent, who contacted them claiming to have important information about Bigelow Aerospace and Skinwalker Ranch. According to Dennent, Bigelow "knows what the aliens know, and he's taken their message to heart." Dennent then informs Sean and Tyrel of a deal made between Bigelow Aerospace and Space X in May of 2012. Space X is the privately-owned company that now flies U.S. astronauts into space, replacing NASA's old shuttle program. Dennent is suspicious of Bigelow's intent in making the deal. " "These things only hold six, seven people- just enough to hold Bigelow and his friends." Could he possibly be preparing for an imminent attack by aliens on Earth? "Our planet is in serious trouble- Bigelow knows this. He's ready to take off and evacuate the planet, just he and his cronies, when the whole apocalyptic scenario goes down, as E.T.'s are predicting, which, again, could happen any day. This rocket and this space hotel, it's an escape pod. You've got to let Jesse know this is all real. This is important stuff. This is no joke," says Dennent.
Ultimately, Jesse concludes his "Skinwalker Conspiracy" investigation with more questions than answers. "Robert Bigelow is an American dreamer. He's like Howard Hughes, with all the good and bad that comes with it. He doesn't hide his fascination with UFO's, and his hope is there's life out there. But his connections with government, individuals, other nations, hell, who knows, maybe extraterrestrials, that's got to keep us all worried. When corporations take over space, when they're allowed to spy, haul weapons, even create their own space stations, somebody's got to be held accountable. A conspiracy of silence ain't the answer. And what's going on at that Skinwalker Ranch anyway? I'm Jesse Ventura, and this is Conspiracy Theory." Tune in next week for Episode #6: Brain Invaders.

"Exploring Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Patmore was a great way to go," said Nicol.
"You had better sit still," he said, and Patmore cringed at the Premier's knees.
The brougham was there, and away they went to Mrs. Patmore Green's.
Craning his neck, he could see Patmore hurrying towards Amen Court.
Mrs. Patmore Green came to her on purpose to talk about her daughter's marriage.
There was no more choice for him in following Patmore than for a son born like his father.
Nothing in Patmore, except his genius, is so conspicuous as his limitations.
Patmore had reached the pavement opposite the Church House, and had turned up a little court between the two drapers' shops.
The existence of In Memoriam may be said to be due to Patmore.
Afterwards he was to learn even more strictly from Patmore that the unit of the world has two persons.

Lancaster County residents missed a fantastic event on Oct 13. Storytelling in the Park hosted by the Carolinas Literacy Network was an enjoyable and stimulating event held at Andrew Jackson State Park.
Each storyteller had their unique style that enhanced their presentation. Cathy Jo Jansen and Flynn Crooks brought Thumblelina to life in their rendition of the familiar fairy tale. Andy Offut Irwin used different voices, singing and whistling to entertain the audience.
Recently, I was at a local event where one of the speakers encouraged voters to vote a straight ticket. The speaker used a scare tactic stating that voting a straight ticket would make it easier to ensure a mistake was not made.
I am asking voters not to vote straight ticket and go a step more to vote for Joseph Coy, petition candidate for the S.C. House District 44 seat. Joseph Coy is the best choice in this race for the S.C. House. He has the leadership skills and common sense we need in Columbia.
U.S. Rep. Mick Mulvaney's score card is one of the worst in Congress. He has sponsored 43 bills, zero passed.
He has co-sponsored 216 bills, only six have passed into law.
In a Huffington Post story, Mulvaney ranked the lowest in educational speaking level, speaking at the level of a high school sophomore.
He almost always follows the tea party line, which means no negotiation and more gridlock, as we approach the financial cliff of mandatory hard cuts.
The Upper Palmetto Chapter of the American Red Cross will be hosting the Drive 4 UR Community event at our newly finished Lancaster office from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Oct. 30. The event will give Lancaster community members and Red Cross volunteers the opportunity to become familiar with our new office location at the new state-of-the-art Emergency Management Facility at 111 Covenant Place.
We have partnered with Burns Ford to hold the Drive 4 UR Community event. Through Drive 4 UR Community we are planning on raising $6,000 for the Upper Palmetto Red Cross.
In her Oct. 14 guest column, "Scott Case is the change we need," Michelle Floyd repeats the old saying, "Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely."
The implication is that Sheriff Barry Faile, as well as his father, Williford Faile, are corrupt. However, Ms. Floyd does not offer even one small shred of evidence in support of this implication.
Please, Ms. Floyd, don't be so reckless with your rhetoric. If you can't back up what you are saying, then don't say it.
Hard work is really making a difference. Joseph Coy, petition candidate for the S.C. House District 44 seat, has put in the effort needed to navigate through some tough challenges. His campaign run has been so different from your typical candidate. He is gaining support daily. He is straight forward and to the point with his platform.
Have you ever heard the saying "Once a Marine always a Marine"? Joseph has revealed just what he is made of.
It is imperative that we vote for people in the next election not because of popularity, familiarity or incumbency but because of integrity. The crime and corruption in our dear little Lancaster is horrendous. The economy is poor and worsening. The work ethic is gone. We need new leadership.
My vote is going to Mandy Powers Norrell. She is a wonderful, bright young lady, who I feel will strive to make a change. She is someone who you will not say a year later "why did I vote for her."

Let's be Lancaster and vote no to Sunday alcohol sales. Let's hold on to the last respectful right we have in this county. You say we are Lancaster. Let's prove it on Nov. 6 and vote no.
Ask yourself if a few extra dollars are worth the lives that are taken by alcohol. There never has and never will be any good that comes from alcohol sales. It destroys lives, homes and marriages. It takes family members. I know because I've lost three. They are in a graveyard because of alcohol.
Mr. Mick Mulvaney has been in political office for six years. He's a what-can-you-do-for-me politician, not a what-can-I do-for-my-constituents politician.
Let us look at his voting record:
He voted against raising the national debt ceiling with fellow Tea Party representatives in 2011; thinking that America defaulting on its debt would solve our problems, but in actuality would shut down the government. That vote also resulted in the downgrade of the United States credit rating.
