We set very high standards for our cuisine, and train our staff extensively before the season starts, to ensure that you will thoroughly enjoy every meal on your own holiday with us. We also take our Health and Safety responsibilities extremely seriously, so all our chalet and Chalet Hotel staff during the pre-season training course are trained to the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health's Level 2 in Food Safety*. For six days of the week our staff prepare all your meals, as described below.
A good breakfast is essential on a ski holiday, so we provide both a cooked breakfast including your choice of bacon, eggs, sausages and beans, as well as a continental selection with a choice of cereals or porridge, fruit juices, plentiful tea, coffee and bread (and croissants in France), cold meats, cheese and preserves, which is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. On our staff's one day off a week, only the continental breakfast will be provided.
Afternoon Tea
The traditional 'welcome home' after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff's one day off per week. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of freshly home-baked cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until dinner is ready. As an added benefit for guests in our Chalet Hotels, our chefs prepare a selection of cakes for afternoon tea.
Children's High Tea
In Chalets and Chalet Hotels with family guests, High Tea provides children under 13 years with a healthy menu, tailored more towards children's tastes and puréed food is available for infants on request. High Tea is at 5.30pm, and children do not join the main adult-only dinner.
Dinner in Chalets
A tasty and innovative, freshly cooked dinner will be prepared for you six nights per week by your Chalet Host – or by an experienced and professional chef in our larger chalets – and served with a choice of wines. Our four-course adult-only chalet dinners start with canapés and an apéritif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert, and completed by coffee with chocolates to round off your evening. Your choice of complimentary quality wines is unlimited during the meal service, and freshly chilled water is also of course always available.
2017/2018 Ski Season - canapés and an apéritif will be replaced with a glass of Proseccco.

Hi! My name is John and I'm a fan of cage fighting. I want to learn and discover more about this sport. This is my first post and I like to share with you this wierd and funny story that I discovered today. I enjoyed watching this granny.
Have a nice day


text: I think the term is almost derogatory. Every pissed up mug that goes all jonny ninja claims to be a cage fighter. To me it makes the sport sound brutal, like caged animals where as the fighters are some of the most highly trained athletes in the world. This imo is part of the problem that the general public have with the sport

The Studio 23 collection shows the move towards clean and fresh resort looks. Featurung Panama, Lenpur Linen, Shimmer and Savannah yarns.
We're seeing denim everywhere at the moment, both on the high street and on the catwalk. This collection is Rowan's interpretation and what to wear with your denim favourites using Wool Cotton 4ply.
Folk influences were to be found for both adult and child's wear this season and Rowan Studio 30 offers a capsule wardrobe of knits for every little fashionista! From a cosy 'grandad' cardigan for boys to a pretty cape for girls. Hopefully this collection will have everyone wishing they were young again.
Crochet has been on trend for the last few seasons and it looks to remain very popular for winter 2012 and into spring 2013. Many of the influential designers have included crochet in their catwalk shows, helping to dispel the once 'dowdy' image of crochet and making it 'chic' and a must have item to wear. The Christopher Kane collection in particular received much acclaim, reviving the use of the traditional 'granny square'. Looks can vary from the fitted, high round neck sweater to the grunge inspired loose structured knit.
Inspired by the 1960's 'Mod' look, this collection features strong graphic patterns and bold stripes. The designs predominantly feature our Rowan Kid Classic yarn with the addition of Kidsilk Haze to some designs to emphasize the trend for thick and thin textures.
Studio 27 is a fun and fresh collection designed by Amanda Crawford. 'Spring retro' look reflects the current trend for 1950's inspired fashion. Knitted in our ever popular Wool Cotton, this summery collection also introduces the new Wool Cotton 4 Ply.
Studio 26 is inspired by the trend for tweed and relaxed, easy to wear, slouchy designs.
Seventies Chic, designed by Sarah Hatton. Drawing from the 1970s influence as seen on the catwalks, this is a collection of trans-seasonal designs, great for layering to take you from summer to winter.
Monochrome is always in fashion and keeps coming back around on all the catwalks. This edition of Rowan Studio shows the hand knit interpretation of this trend. Each garment has its own unique take on the black and white mix, some simple colour changes and more complex stitch patterns mean that there is a garment in this collection for all knitters from beginner to the more experienced.
The Last Hurrah is the final collection for Rowan's Studio publications and so, by way of celebration, we asked some old friends to design a garment for the festive season. Using Kidsilk Haze, Anchor Artiste Metallic, Kidsilk Haze Eclipse, Mohair Haze and Kidsilk Haze Glamour the designers have ensured the final collection is a fitting last hurrah and covers all knitting skill levels from beginner to the more experienced.

Landmark Windturbines
Small sized wind turbines which are placed in urban areas have different functions besides producing energy. The fact that they are placed in view, usually at a relatively expensive location, demonstrates that there is an added value. This landmark function is usually of even greater importance than the actual profit of the wind turbine. Therefore we have chosen to perform additional studies on the aesthetic side of wind turbines to improve the acceptance and implicit value.
Actiflow has made several designs according to this philosophy, in which this landmark function is centralised, while its efficiency is at least as good as that of comparable wind turbines. Our designs are produced in small series for people who are interested.

This home electrolysis roller eradicates unwanted hair without the pain or scarring associated with needle electrolysis. The roller emits safe electrical energy that reacts with the included conductive gel to destroy the derma papilla--the foundation of hair growth--at the base of the follicle. In independent clinical tests, this technology helped participants achieve a 60% permanent hair reduction after 90 days of treatment. Ideal for larger areas along the arms, underarms, bikini line, and legs, the electrolysis glider is about the size of an electric razor and just as easy to maneuver for daily treatments. The device's facial hair mode consists of three 20-second cycles and the body hair mode consists of two 5-minute cycles over a 1" W x 4" L area. Includes two AAA batteries, tweezers, 3 oz. of conductive gel, and travel case. 4 1/2" L x 2" W x 1 1/4" D. (2 oz.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Home Electrolysis Roller comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.

disappointed with this product
By hairy chin
from South Caralina
I had high hopes with this, but did not help with hair. I wish that I had sent it back to get a refund earlier.
Felt a tingle, results still pending
By Candid
from Pueblo, Co
Easy to use. Unable to get conducting gel from Hammacher-S. Why? You sell the product, why not the refills?
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your comments. We do sell the conductive gel (search item 79179) currently, although both products are set to be discontinued soon.
great idea, not for every BODY
By wants to be hairless
from Los Angeles, CA
Unfortunately this product did not work on my body as it did for people who had previously purchased it. I tried on several different places, face, legs, arms, and exactly as directed but did not see any results whatsoever. Such a shame too because pain free hair removal is something I've been looking forward to.

My primary goal is to get my patients back to the activities that are important to them. I believe that communication is a crucial aspect of this. Care and healing is a process that goes hand in hand and is a collaborative effort between myself and my patients. My background in Family Medicine and Sports Medicine gives me the unique opportunity to facilitate this communication and treat the whole person.
I enjoy running, spending time with my wife and 3 children, coaching my kid's sports teams and anything to do with the weather.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/9/2013 (1399 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The first impression I had of Panama City was of its vertically soaring skyline. A decade of frenzied construction has made the city a centre of modern architecture -- and notorious for poorly engineered "ghost highrises," so named because several sit eerily vacant.
In the heart of the prestigious financial district, the newly constructed Revolution Tower, designed like a corkscrew, is wondrous to behold as it revolves around itself. Already grumbling thrums about the lack of elevators (only four) to service this 52-storey office tower, of which only four floors are occupied.
Pushing 1.5 million residents, Panama City is a melting pot of races and cultures representing the entire globe. They're running businesses, investing -- and these days, retiring. The country's laws favour foreign investment and handsome incentives encourage foreigners to retire there.
Since 1999, after the U.S. turned over control of the Panama Canal to Panama, construction has boomed with the buoyant economy. Cranes reach into the sky and everywhere men and women in helmets and safety vests are building or restoring something -- turning the city into a construction zone.
Frequently stuck in the city's perennial traffic snarl, I had lots of time to hear cabbies complain about President Ricardo Martinelli's fevered push for more growth. They, however, applaud the new subway slated to become operational in 2014, the same year the new canal will open. The Panama Canal, the largest income generator in the country, is being doubled in size to accommodate massive modern ocean liners.
From the time it was discovered in the mid-1500s, Panama has been a commercial crossroads, used to launch expeditions into South America and ship gold to Spain.
Panama City remains a commercial centre.
It also boasts five huge shopping malls; myriad small shops; and vendors selling electronics and Gucci, lighters, indigenous crafts and all manner of merchandise.
At the Caribbean entrance of the canal, cruise ships stop at Colon, the world's second-largest free port after Hong Kong. People laying over between flights can take shuttles to one of the big malls or to one of the city's 23 gambling facilities.
The streets are alive at night. Neon lights flash in the business centre and the tourist destination of El Cangrejo. Tourists and Panamanians alike cruise the streets looking to take in a nightclub show, try their luck at a casino or simply watch people.
It's all part of what makes Panama City a favourite destination for North Americans -- whether they're gambling, shopping, investing or retiring.
-- -- --
IN sharp contrast to Panama, Cuba is one of the world's most retro economies. Foreign investment is strictly regulated. You won't see casinos or huge shopping malls in Havana. Neither will you see jaw-dropping modern architecture. No significant construction has occurred in five decades.
But you do see architecture that spans 16th-century Spanish colonial, baroque and art deco to 1960s revolutionary. Unlike Panama, where the construction boom has resulted in shoddy workmanship, many of the old buildings in Havana are unsound for different reasons.
When wealthy Cubans and foreigners moved out after the revolution in 1959, they left behind elegant estate homes, confiscated by the state and occupied by ordinary Cubans. Now, many are collapsing due to decades of neglect.
A small section of Old Havana is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is being restored.
Havana, a city of 2.5 million, has none of the bustle of Panama City. Its wide boulevards are almost devoid of traffic, with a few 1950s Fords or beaten-up Ladas sputtering by with black diesel smoke in their wake.
That these cars even run despite the ongoing U.S. economic embargo is a testament to Cuban ingenuity and resilience.
You won't hear Cubans grumbling about runaway growth. Instead, they complain about the stalled economy in the country where ordinary citizens earn the equivalent of about $20 a month on the state payroll. Their stress comes from the frequent shortages for basics, such as eggs and potatoes.
I knew Cuba was transforming itself from a rigid -- and broke -- communist state to a blossoming free-enterprise system. The financially strapped communist government has allowed the nascent entrepreneurial culture to flourish because it needs to slash its payroll.
Cubans have embraced this brave new world and entrepreneurs are selling everything from real estate and car parts to the proverbial kitchen sink; but most are setting up business to serve the booming tourist industry, the primary source of foreign currency in Cuba.
Havana is a mecca for tourists from all over the world, except for the U.S., which restricts citizens' travel to the island. Tourists aren't coming for the shopping. They come for a cultural experience, the music, the dance and the art.
The sounds of rumba, salsa and traditional Cuban boleros waft from restaurants, bars, makeshift dance halls and the street. It's an inescapable part of island life where every family seems to have raised a musician and every musician has a CD to sell.
The Cuban government supports the arts. Havana boasts several museums, galleries and bookstores and has one of the best ballet companies in the world, housed in the beautiful baroque-style Gran Teatro de La Habana.
Panama has the wealthiest economy in Latin America, but it also has among the worst records for equitable distribution of that wealth. Cuba is among the poorest countries in the region, but everyone has a home, decent educational opportunities and access to free health care.
People in Panama City are open, but they face the pressures of an aggressively modern city. In Havana, people are friendly, but they have the stress of keeping up with the shifting economy.
Earlier this year, I met a Cuban man who advised me to "go to Cuba before McDonald's does." That's sound advice.

Atlanta greets visitors with a warm "Hey, y'all!" Originally built as the terminus of the Western & Atlantic Railroad, Atlanta remains a hub for transport (with the world's busiest airport), industry (with the headquarters for Coca-Cola), art (with treasures from the Louvre on display at the High Museum of Art), and tourism (with the world's largest aquarium). The city's half million residents enjoy a mix of old-fashioned Southern charm, offbeat artistic funkiness, chic luxury shopping, superb dining, and major attractions.
In the past, many of the city's big draws—Stone Mountain Park, for example—were outside the city limits. Today there's plenty in town to keep you occupied. The Georgia Aquarium, the largest in the world, draws visitors who want to get up-close and personal with whale sharks. The Woodruff Arts Center is a cultural hub where you can catch a performance by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra or gaze on treasures from the Louvre on loan at the High Museum of Art. And the fizzy World of Coca-Cola is dedicated to the hometown beverage.
Atlanta continues to experience explosive growth. A good measure of the city's expansion is the ever-changing skyline; condominium developments appear to spring up overnight, while run-down properties seem to disappear in a flash. In Buckhead—once home to a noisy, raucous bar district—most of the taverns have been razed and work is underway on what developers are hoping will become the Rodeo Drive of the South. Office and residential towers have risen throughout the Midtown, Downtown, and outer perimeter (fringing Interstate 285, especially to the north) business districts. Residents, however, are less likely to measure the city's growth by skyscrapers than by the increase in traffic jams and crowds, higher prices, and the ever-burgeoning subdivisions that continue to push urban sprawl farther and farther into surrounding rural areas.
"The city too busy to hate," Atlanta has become the best example of the New South, a fast-paced modern city proud of its heritage. Transplanted Northerners and those from elsewhere account for more than half the population and have undeniably affected the mood of the city, as well as the mix of accents of its people. Irish immigrants played a major role in the city's early history, along with Germans and Austrians. Since the 1980s, Atlanta has seen spirited growth in its Asian and Latin-American communities. The newcomers' restaurants, shops, and institutions have become part of the city's texture.

"UFOs in the USA: Proof is on the News"
I originally uploaded this on July 29, 2011 under the title "UFOs in the USA: Proof is on the News" back when I was ObjectiveObserver4. It has been uploaded by many others and has now been seen over 1 million times.
In the last 5 years, there has been a major escalation in UFO sightings. Orbs of light, often in triangular formation, have been appearing all over the world. It is obvious that they are not flares, balloons, or Chinese lanterns. There truly are only two possibilities: they are in fact some form of extra-terrestrial spacecrafts, or they are military.
Here's why they aren't military:
1. The technology is too advanced. These are not solid triangular crafts, they are individual orbs of light. They are clearly employing anti-gravity technology. There are many videos and eyewitness accounts in which they are seen accelerating at high rates of speed and maneuvering in ways that suggest a level of technology hundreds if not thousands of years ahead of ours.
2. The exact same orbs have been appearing since at least the 1940s(see: foo fighters), when we definitely didn't have the technology to produce such a craft. There have been many, many sightings of these orbs(not to mention huge triangles and disk-shaped crafts) by highly credible witnesses all throughout the century.
We are being observed by beings from other planets. And is it really so surprising? There are 200 billion other solar systems just in our Milky Way Galaxy. There is life everywhere!
And what is so interesting and amazing is that they are not simply observing us from afar. They are intentionally appearing for us to see. They want us to see them. Why? What is the purpose?
Could it be they are attempting to wake us up to the reality that we are but one of many, many, intelligent civilizations in the Universe? If so, why don't they just land and talk to us?
Perhaps they understand it isn't best to force it upon us all at once. First contact is a very shocking thing. We need to time to absorb the reality of it. To get over the shock and disbelief.
These orb triangle appearances are part of a process designed to help us get over the shock and disbelief before they formally introduce themselves. These beings understand human psychology very well. They know what they are doing.
The question is: are they going to "arrive" at some predetermined date, or are they waiting for us to reach out to them in some way first? Or are they just waiting for our awareness to reach a certain level?
Whatever the answer, what we need to do is continue to raise awareness about this new reality, while also thinking of ways to reach out to them in peace and in unity.
The exact same type of UFO's - Light Phenomenon is showing up worldwide right now!
All of these sightings are from the last 5 years!
Why are orbs of light in triangle formation repeatedly appearing over cities the world over? What is the purpose?
For these are not chance "sightings", they are intentional appearances. They want us to see them.
Why not just come down and talk to us directly?
First contact is a very shocking thing. Perhaps they know it isn't best to force it upon us all at once. How would we react to ships unexpectedly descending upon the planet?
How would the media react? How would the military react?
Pretty orbs of light in the sky are non-threatening. And it is not immediately obvious what they are. Yet they give us all the information we need to conclude that they are in fact extra-terrestrial in origin. But it is up to us to figure it out for ourselves.
And in the process of figuring it out, we have time to absorb the reality of it, to get over the shock and disbelief. Time to realize that these beings are nothing to fear.
Perhaps when enough of us come to realize this, and we welcome them in peace, then they will formally introduce themselves.
These visitors, our galactic neighbors, understand human psychology very well. They know what they are doing. We are not the first planet they have visited.
This is real. This is not a joke. Research the history of UFO sightings for yourselves. You will see that these orbs have been appearing for a long time. But never like this, with such frequency, clarity, and purpose. Something amazing is happening. We are being prepared for first contact.
Don't freak out. These are wise, benevolent beings. And it probably isn't just one race from one planet. It is most likely an alliance of civilizations cooperating to help our planet progress.
Meeting our galactic neighbors will be extremely good for us. It will expand our minds greatly and do so much to help us progress into a peaceful, environmentally sustainable society.
Let us welcome them with love and gratitude!
There is GOOD out there!
To start with, wouldn't it be nice to know how much the government know about these UFOs that they often are so quick at explaining away as military experiments, Chinese Lanterns, Flares, Planes, illusions etc?
In fact, we do know a few things about how much the government knows! First of all, we know that they are aware of that the Lake Erie UFO orb phenomenon is not local for the Great Lake, and secondly, we know that they have been hiding their knowledge about these kinds of UFOs from the public for quite a long time.
How do we know that? We know, because in 2006, the British 'Ministry of Defence' (MOD) released some classified UFO files to the public, which can be viewed here: [
link to webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk
When we open up the link, the best thing we are perhaps expecting to find is some general UFO document that doesn't say much, just like it usually is when the government releases information of this nature. However, when opening up the first pdf file, the image hits us right in the face; it's the exact same orbs that have been sighted, photographed and filmed worldwide! So the phenomenon is not isolated only to the Great Lakes! And moreover, we can see that there has been a big cover-up in the United States regarding the orbs over Lake Erie, where so-called 'experts' have expressed their 'informed' opinions about that this can be, when in fact, their knowledge on the subject was there all the time. Instead, they try to make reliable witnesses look like fools.
In the MOD report it says, amongst a lot of other things that are indeed noteworthy:
"That Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP or UFO) Exist is indisputable. Credited with the ability to hover, land, take off, accelerate to astonishing velocities and vanish. They can reportedly alter their direction of flight suddenly and clearly can exhibit aerodynamics characteristics well beyond those of any known aircraft or missile - either manned or unmanned.
The Conditions for the initial formation and sustaining of what are apparently buoyant charged masses (of Plasma), which can form, separate, merge, hover, climb, dive, and accelerate are not completely understood.
Dependent on a color's temperature and aerosol density, it may be seen visually, either by it self generated plasma color, by reflected light, or silhouette by light blockage and background contrast.
Occasionally and perhaps exceptionally, it seems a field with, undetermined characteristics can exist between certain charged buoyant objects in loose formation, the intervening space between them forms an area, viewed as a shape, often Triangular, from which the reflection of light does not occur.
This is a key finding in the attribution of what have frequently been called black "Craft", often triangular and up to hundreds of feet in length
. - The UK Ministry of Defence"
This report is interesting in many ways. Although these lights show up clearly in many videos now posted on YouTube, I wanted to ask Michael Lee Hill how he would describe them. He told me:
"They are beautiful! Imagine a house sized ball of Light/plasma that is pulsating with what seems like the brightest most intense multidimensional colors I have ever seen. They usually appear as a single Orb. Then sometimes that Orb will "divide", or another 2nd Orb will appear next to the first. Sometimes a third Orb will appear and then all three Orbs will join into a huge triangle formation and create what seems to be one solid Triangular craft.
So now we know that the exact same kind of UFOs have been seen by reliable witnesses (even the Coast Guard) over Lake Erie, Suffolk, Virginia (see 'The Terrell Copeland Case'[1]), and the Great Britain, recorded by the Ministry of Defense. Now, are there even more places in the world where these specific types of UFOs have been sighted? Yes, there is!
2. The Portal -- The Hessdalen Lights Phenomenon
Hessdalen is a central Norwegian small village located in a 9.3 miles (15km) long valley. We find it approximately 75 miles south of a larger Norweigian city, Trondheim. Normally, it would have been quite an insignificant little village, with only 120 people living there, and few people in the world would have known it even existed. However, Hessdalen has been quite well known internationally for occasional occurrences of a "sometimes ominous luminous phenomena called the 'Hessdalen Lights'. The phenomena is monitored by the 'Hessdalen AMS [Automatic Measurement Station, editor's note]'"[2].
These unusual lights have been reported in Hessdalen since at least back in the 1940s. However, there was a great increase in these sightings over the period of December 1981 until the summer of 1984, when people could apparently see the lights as often as 15-20 times a week. Then the amount of sightings decreased again to a relatively steady amount of 10-20 sightings a year, in average.
The light people see is often bright white or yellow (compare the Eastlake UFOs) and of unknown origin to the villagers and scientists. These lights are "standing or floating above the ground level."[3] And these are not just flashing lights; they can be seen, sometimes for hours at the time!
Due to the increased sightings in the early 1980s, a research team nick-named 'Project Hessdalen'[5] was initiated by Dr. Erling Strand in 1983. In 1988, the 'Hessdalen AMS', which basically is a research station, was built in the valley. It registers and records the appearance of these lights. Later, the EMBLA program was initiated. It brings together established scientists and students into researching these lights. Leading research institutions are Østfold University College (Norway) and the Italian National Research Council.[4] So it's obvious that these lights can't be easily explained. In fact, these research institutions, after almost 30 years of steady research, have no clear idea of what these lights are. In Wikipedia, it gives us a number of bullet points, showing us what some scientists are guessing that it is. However, none of these explanations includes that the lights has some kind of higher consciousness, which is quite apparent to anyone who has ever seen them. Nothing artificial can make loops and patterns like that. There are those who would object and say that nothing we know of could make patterns like that, but the thing is that anyone who is objective to start with will see that these lights are moving around by consciousness. I haven't watches them on site, but it's enough to watch them on videos to be able to tell.
But to make sure, let's see what local eye witnesses think about the lights in Hessdalen:
Multimedia A-3.
One of the remarks a professor does is
"where is the power cord; where is the fuel?"
And he is nailing it down right to the point; these lights are not moving around with assistance from any known energy source, at least not to mainstream science.
The video presentation, 'The Portal' (Multimedia A-3 above) is a 47 minutes long video, filled with very reliable eye witnesses that have all seen similar things. The light phenomena are changing speed, indicating no mass by physical means, and "seems to be able to take on pieces of plasma or energy from the ground while passing by".[6] The same thing has been reported regarding the Eastlake UFOs. 'The Portal' continues the presentation by saying, "The phenomenon seems to radiate energy, due to the light and frequent change of color".[7] But also, some eye witnesses have, in connection with the sightings, felt the foul smell of sulphur. Apparently, in 2004 the scientists detected the light phenomenon several times, directly above a specific sulphur mine outside the village. "So this mine must be very special", says one of the interviewed locals of Hessdalen.[8] Although these lights have been seen hovering above the sulphur mine, it's just another theory, they add. The lights do not follow any fixed pattern, and certainly don't always hover over sulphur mines.
A spectral study has been done as well of the phenomenon, and it's been shown to contain oxygen, nitrogen, and silica, which in reality means air and dust. But there were also traces of the rare element of scandium, which can only be found in Scandinavia! Scandium is an extremely hard substance which can be found in the production of Soviet hydroplanes. This material is strong enough to cut through ice caps![9] The same material was used in Soviet fighters (and perhaps still is?) The Soviets had developed high-strength weldable aluminum alloys using Scandium. Now, that is interesting, because it's exactly what has been reported in the Eastlake UFO sightings! Eye witnesses have sometimes heard, sometimes seen (or both), how the UFOs have cut through the ice cap, making a massive sound. The Norwegian research team has now, as mentioned above, expanded their staff to include college students and others, because they need much more manpower to go to the bottom with this interesting phenomenon. It should be mentioned for research purposes that this phenomenon has also been observed in combination with the aurora borealis, starting out around 9:30 in the evening (fig. A-11).[10]
Figure A-11. The Light Phenomenon over Hessdalen in 2007, around the time of the aurora borealis (snapshot from 'The Portal'). The exposure time in this photo was 30 sec, and according to the Hessdalen researchers, the best photo ever taken of this phenomenon.
What we're seeing in the picture is the light starting out with the glowing orb to the left, moving all the way to the right, and back all the way to the left, past the start point. The distance between the far left and far right is estimated to be 10-15km, which is about 5-7 miles. The exposure time from the camera was 30 seconds. What surprises the scientists is when they look at the spectrum at the bottom (made on purpose by the camera lens) it's continuous over the spectra, from red to violet. The way the spectrum shows up indicates there is no gas or fuel that's running the 'engine' (if any), but it certainly looks like it could be a solid object, they say, or from plasma with high density, or molecular chemical compositions.
Figure A-12. Nikola Tesla
At the same time, the phenomenon is registered on radar. The interesting thing with the radar readings is that the object was only seen for a few minutes, but on the radar it registered for 4 hours!
A scientist that's interviewed in the video is quite curious about the phenomenon, because it acts like a ball of fire, but it doesn't expand, and in the combustion process, it should expand according to today's scientific norms. So something must be able to hold that ball of fire together, he says, like a magnetic field; like a plasmoid; a magnetic field that 'traps' plasma and keeps it inside the volume of the orb. They are therefore looking for the mechanism that stores the energy, and why this power source is so incredibly powerful in its intensity. And what's really curious about it is that the orb can keep this plasma trapped and in a powerful density over a long duration of time. This is mainly what the scientists are now trying to find the solution to. The scientist in the interviews ends off on a positive note, saying that this mysterious way of storing energy could be something we humans may be able to use in the future instead of petrol (gas), and nuclear power. He thinks there may be in the atmosphere, a natural storing mechanism not yet understood by science. Can this become the energy source of the future? they speculate.
The idea of extracting energy from thin air (or vacuum), is not new. Already in the 1920s, Nikola Tesla had discovered enormous energy potentials in what he called the 'flux field', or the 'vacuum field', by some scientists called the 'plenum' (in other words, the 96% dark matter and energy, which in alien term is called the 'KHAA', meaning 'breath'). Today, we hear about this as 'Zero-Point-Energy'. At this point, the narrator in the video says, there is no known way to extract this kind of energy, but suggests that this may be what we are seeing over Hessdalen; someone, or something is able to do just that, and whatever it is, it's showing us that it's doing it!
Lastly, the film producer is elaborating on that this could potentially be even bigger than that. Is Hessdalen perhaps a portal to another world, or another reality?
So, what is known so far about the pulsating orbs of light UFOs showing up worldwide? The following is the conclusions from over 25 years of research and after Italian SETI scientists got involved with much more sophisticated equipment:
The phenomenon is identified as a bright flying object with special characteristics making it unique to science.
The phenomenon is more complex and diverse than expected, indicating more than 1 single kind of phenomenon.
The phenomenon is sometimes made up of separate units that may depart and fly away.
The speed varies from still to 8km per second.
The phenomenon changes course in speeds indicating no mass by physical means.
The phenomenon seems to be able to take on pieces of plasma or energy from the ground whilst passing by.
The phenomenon seems to radiate energy due to the light and frequency change of colour.
Many interesting spectra in the optical and radio frequency range have been detected but more data is needed to draw proper conclusions.
These scientific data are quite sensational! We are dealing with a real existing phenomenon which can be observed even though this is difficult.[11]
For a layman it would be convenient to brush these phenomena off as atmospheric balls of light, which do exist and is an atmospheric phenomenon, and therefore moving back and forth on some atmospheric 'current', but this is not logical when we observe how the orbs move and the typical, precise formations they are taking. It's easy to see that it's not random, and therefore most likely is something controlled by some perhaps higher intelligence.
3. BAASS and the Bigelow 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: firstname.lastname@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.
What Bigelow Aerospace has revealed about these Orbs Of light that they have been studying over the now famous Skin Walker Ranch!
Keep in mind these "Orbs" are showing up worldwide right now!
Bigelow Anomaly Classification - Pulsating Spherical Ball Of Light - "Flash Drones"
A pulsating spherical ball of light. The light appears bluish to a yellow green glow. The light it casts is not extremely bright but will cast light on objects immediately surrounding the orb. Typically there is more than 1 orbs gathered. They have the ability to hover and make no noise. There appears to be no physical shape supporting these orbs. A characteristic feature is that they will pulsate their light intensity for a matter of seconds growing extremely bright, and then fading away to nothing as if the object simply vanished. Apparently these have been witnessed during the day but are more visible at night. Have been seen transforming into other animal shapes and is suspected of having the ability to transmorph into the shape of local living animals. Can affect other electrical objects and knocked out the power to the ranch house. Shift between a visible and invisible state as they pulsate on and off.
These are intelligent and purposeful like in nature. I suspect they are some sort of transportation vehicles for another intelligence or the drones for this intelligence. They have a role of observing.
They are unique in that they appear almost curious about any humans they come across. They seem to easily detect your presence, and may be influenced by meditative thoughts/requests. I believe their function is to observe, report, and to transport either consciousness, or actual entities within them, as if some form of vessel. This is the most interactive of all the anomalies on the ranch and will pursue and entertain its viewers.
The flash drones tend to take on a more interactive role if the observer is alone. Possess the ability to generate a state of uncontrollable "panic" in those targeted, Witnessed working in groups in a predator/prey fashion. The sensation of being hit by one is described as being hit by a high velocity warm water balloon. The after effects of which immediately evaporate away.
Although speculative, the light may only travel in a light-off configuration. When the light is visible, the object appears stationary, however it disappears, only to reappear in a different location. This postulates that the light may possibly be "phasing" in and out from one location to the next.

You know what is great, this info can not be debunked!
This info comes from the highest sources available on the subject such as Bigelow Aerospace, The UK Ministry Of Defense, and the conclusions from over 25 years of research by Italian SETI scientists who got involved with very sophisticated equipment.
So what can you say? these sources would stand up in a court of law as EXPERT WITNESSES, can you say the same?

African Cemetery No. 2 (Lexington, KY)
Start Year : 1869
End Year : 1976
The cemetery has been located at 419 E. 7th Street since 1869 when, according to The Kentucky Leader (02/03/1892), the Union Benevolent Society No. 2 formed "to take care of the sick, bury the dead and perform other deeds of charity." The organization purchased four acres in November 1869; the charter from the Legislature permitted the operation of a cemetery in 1870. In 1875 another four acres were purchased. The official name of the cemetery became Benevolent Society No. 2 of Lexington, Kentucky. Well over 6,000 men, women, and children are interred in the cemetery, and 100 have been identified as U.S. Colored Troops of the Civil War. The information in this entry comes from African American Cemetery No. 2, a flier published by African Cemetery No. 2, Inc. (Feb. 2005). Board member Yvonne Giles has been researching the history of the cemetery and completed the publication titled Stilled Voices Yet Speak in 2009. There is also a film about the cemetery titled Eight Acres of History: Lexington's African Cemetery No.2, produced by the Lexington Public Library Cable Channel 20. For more information about the cemetery, Juneteenth celebrations, and other events, see African Cemetery No. 2 or contact the African Cemetery No. 2, Inc., P. O. Box 54874, Lexington, Kentucky 40555.

Berry, Ella
Birth Year : 1884
Death Year : 1939
Ella Berry was born in Stanford, KY, and grew up in Louisville. She was the daughter of Dave Tucker and Mathilda Portman [source: Chicago Death Record, for Ella Berry]. Berry moved to Chicago where she was one of the leading African American women political and social activists. She would become president of the Cornell Charity Club, she had been a member of the organization since 1913. She was a suffragist and became the state organizer of the Hughes Colored Women's Clubs of the National Republican Headquarters in 1919. Illinois Governor Frank O. Lowden appointed her an investigator for the Chicago Commission on Race Relations. She was also president of the Women's Second Ward Protective League, and a federal census enumerator in 1920. Ella Berry was the first African American to be employed by the Chicago Department of Welfare, she was a home visitor. She was elected to the Order of the Eastern Star, and served three terms as president of the Grand Daughter Ruler of the Daughters of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks, which was the highest office a woman could hold in the organization. Berry used her positions within the various organizations to campaign for African American votes and for women's votes during presidential elections. She traveled between Louisville and Chicago networking and making political connections between the two cities. Ella Berry was the wife of William Berry. For more see the Ella Berry entry and picture in chapter six in The Story of the Illinois Federation of the Colored Women's Clubs by E. L. Davis; For the Freedom of Her Race by L. G. Materson; and photo of Ella Berry [online] in the New York Public Library Digital Gallery.

The organization was also referred to as the Lexington Colored People's Union Benevolent Society No 1. The Union Benevolent Society, No.2, of Colored People of Lexington, was incorporated in 1870. The organization had existed for a number of years. In 1870, the executive members were James L. Harvey, President; Jordan C. Jackson, Vice President; Henry King, Secretary; and Leonard Fish, Treasurer.

Hathaway, Robert Elijah
Birth Year : 1842
Death Year : 1923
This entry was submitted by Yvonne Giles and the information comes from her research.
Born in Nicholas County, Kentucky, on June 25, 1842, Robert Elijah Hathaway was a slave to Senator Garrett Davis of Bourbon County, KY. Robert E. Hathaway escaped from his owner, and on June 6, 1864, he joined the U.S. Colored Troops, Co. B, 100th Infantry. "His regiment was engaged in repulsive action against John Bell Hood in Tennessee [in] December [of] 1864." After receiving an honorable discharge, Robert E. Hathaway returned to Lexington, KY on January 1, 1866 and lived with his mother, Easter Jackson, and stepfather, Isham Jackson. Robert E. Hathaway was a founding member of the Kentucky State Benevolent Society, which was the organization that founded the First Convention of Colored Men of Kentucky in 1866. Robert E. Hathaway was also a minister and served at the following Disciples of Christ Churches in Kentucky: Midway in Woodford County, Little Rock (39 years) in Bourbon County, and Germantown (27 years) in Mason County. Robert Hathaway also served as an elder at East Second Street Christian Church in Lexington, KY. He was co-organizer of the 1872 Convention of Negro Disciples, Church of Christ, and he served as president of the State Convention in 1902. He was also active on the local level. "News articles listed R. E. Hathaway as one of the committee members who consistently questioned the actions of the City Commissioners regarding the money voted on for establishing park facilities for the colored people. A tribute, following Robert E. Hathaway's death on March 2, 1923, credited him with the securing of Douglass Park and Booker T. Washington School, as well as the founding of the Colored Civic League." The VFW Post #1096 is named in his honor. Hathaway was also a member and the commander of Charles Sumner Post No.61 (1913-1916). He was a member of Masonic Sardis Lodge No.8. He was a member (1898) and president (1904 & 1912) of the Emancipation League in Lexington, KY. Robert E. Hathaway was the husband of Rachel Scott of Lexington, KY, and they were the parents of Fannie, Isaac, and Eva. Rachel Scott Hathaway died in July of 1874, and Robert next married Amanda Newman of Carlisle, KY. Robert E. and Amanda Newman Hathaway are buried next to each other in Greenwood Cemetery in Lexington, KY. Rachel Scott Hathaway is buried in African Cemetery No.2 in Lexington, Kentucky.

Migration to Ethiopia [Fannie B. Eversole, 1865-1951]
Start Year : 1930
End Year : 1935
Beginning in 1930, a number of African Americans and West Indians migrated to Ethiopia in search of the "Promised Land" in the Back to Africa Movement affiliated with Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association. The exact number of persons who left the U.S. was in question, with estimates as high as 100, and as low as 25. The group was led by Arnold Ford, rabbi of Beth B'nai Abraham [Harlem, NY, Black Jews]. The migrating families were promised land, livestock, and a farming life, but the promises were unfulfilled. In 1932, the U.S. State Department issued a release to discourage others from migrating to Ethiopia due to the number of destitute American immigrants, and because there were no government funds for transportation back to the States. By 1934, thirty-five immigrants had returned to the U.S. In 1935, the Italy-Ethiopia War put an absolute end to any further immigration, and all but two of the prior immigrants returned to the U.S. September 1935, U.S. Legation Officials warned that any Americans who remained in Ethiopia did so against the advice of the State Department. Three of the last African Americans to leave were the wife of Baron Jackson and her daughter, Predonia, from Alabama, and Mrs. Fannie B. Eversole. They had all gone to Ethiopia in 1931 as part of the Back to Africa Movement. The American Negro Benevolent Society paid their fare back to the U.S. Seventy year old Fannie Eversole (b.1865 in Paris, KY) arrived in New York Harbor, October 8, 1935, aboard the ship Berengaria, according to the New York Passenger List. Fannie Eversole had been the wife of Man G. Eversole (b.1865 in VA), and according to the 1910 U.S. Federal Census, they had been homesteaders in Glade, Washington. Fannie Eversole was living in Los Angeles, CA before leaving for Ethiopia in 1931. She had been a cook and a housekeeper. Upon her return to the U.S., she made her home at 1621 W. 35th Street in Los Angeles and is listed as retired in the 1940s California Voter Registration Records. According to the California Death Index, Fannie Eversole died in Los Angeles on June 22, 1951.

Riggs, Arthur J.
Birth Year : 1855
Death Year : 1936
Arthur J. Riggs was born in Shelbyville, KY, the son of Rachel and Lloyd Riggs. In 1860, the family was free and is listed in the U.S. Federal Census. Arthur Riggs is regarded as one of the founders of Elkdom among African Americans. He took the last name Riggs after being freed from slavery; his family had been owned by Reverend John Tevis, a Carmelite minister. Riggs worked a number of jobs, including a stint at the Galt House in Louisville, KY, and later left for Cincinnati, where he was employed as a waiter at the Grand Hotel. He helped organize the Knights of Pythias Lodge in 1896 and served as Grand Chancellor of the State. Riggs and B. F. [Benjamin Franklin] Howard of Covington, KY, established the Negro Elks Lodge in Cincinnati. Riggs's participation in the Elks cost him his job as a Pullman Porter; he had gained access to the white Elks Ritual, which was used in establishing the Negro Elks Lodge. Riggs was later run out of Cincinnati and settled in Springfield, OH, with his family. He lived under an assumed name. With assistance from lawyer William L. Anderson, Riggs had learned from the Register of Copyright of the Library of Congress that the Ritual had no copyright; therefore, it was redrafted and copyrighted to Riggs in 1898 for the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World. As the organization continued to grow and add form, Riggs received more threats. He left the Elks then for two decades. B. F. Howard took over the management of the organization and moved it to Covington, KY. Riggs died prior to the 37th Grand Lodge meeting in August 1936; his death is mentioned in the April 15, 1936 issue of the Springfield Daily News. For more see History of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, 1898-1954, by C. H. Wesley.

Cavs Earn Top Pick In NBA Draft
(New York, NY) -- The Cleveland Cavaliers have earned the top pick in the NBA Draft. The Cavs had a 15.6-percent chance of landing the first overall pick in the NBA Draft Lottery in New York. The Orlando Magic had the best odds at 25-percent. The team with the worst record in the NBA has only captured the top spot three times in the history of the lottery. It happened most recently with the 2004 Magic. Only the top three picks are selected from the lottery slotting system, with the rest of the first-round draft order in inverse order of the win-loss record for the remaining teams. The Magic earned the second pick, while the Washington Wizards grabbed the third pick. Washington had the eighth-best odds at 3.5-percent.

Happy Cinco De Mayo (Marcelino is 1/64th Mayan).
Bolts in the conference final. B's are close … but they won't get ahead of themselves this time. Claude Julien is going to bring in a motivational speaker: The Most Interesting Man in the World, to tell them, "Stay Thirsty My Friends."
1) Wow. Pierre McGuire really ripped a piece off of Alex Semin for packing it in, didn't he? Good for Pierre. With Semin's act, and Backstrom turning invisible, Alex Ovechkin was really on his own.
2) How cool is it to have a Gordie Howe Hat Trick in a playoff game, like Nathan Horton did for the B's?
3) People are making a big deal out of Tampa Bay's 1-3-1, and for good reason. But the thing that really separates the Lightnings is the power play — 12 PPGs already in the playoffs. Absolutely lethal.
4) In case you hadn't heard, John Tortorella — who helped build this Tampa team — is undergoing the knife for the second year in a row. Last year it was a hip replacement, this year a knee replacement. He'll be bionic soon.
5) Gee. Philly having goalie problems. Odd.
6) Sean Bergenheim=this generation's Chris Kontos.
7) Actually, and this isn't new or unique, but have you noticed how many goals are being scored by role players, third-line types?
8) Colie Campell's kid has turned into a pretty darn effective hockey player, hasn't he?
9) I love that they play "Louie, Louie" in Tampa when MiniMonster scores a goal.
10) Game over. Season over. … for the NHL and it's Crosby-Ovechkin crush.
11) Pretty good night for the Bergeron boys in Boston and Tampa.
12) I'd love to know who came up with the stick salute, because it's one of the coolest things in sports.
13) That Marchand kid in Boston has a lot of Ryan Callahan in him. And he reminds me, too, of the Little Ball of Hate.
14) I'll be interested to see how the Lightnings handle a really physical team, because they haven't yet. The Capitals weren't nearly as physical vs. the Lightnings as they were against the Rangers.
15) I guess the countdown is on for the launch of Bruce Boudreau. He'll have plenty of time to work on his vocabulary for the next time he stars in a reality show. … All the king's horses, and all the king's men …
16) Did you see Darren Pang get hit in the onions?
17) I don't think the Flyers are coming back by any stretch of the imagination … but I'm certain that everybody, all these analysts, were saying the exact same thing last year.

Luke Bryan making 'special announcement' next week
Listen to Luke Bryan on iHeartRadio
Luke Bryan has something brewing. The country star says he'll be making a "special announcement" in Nashville on January 14th.
The singer's big reveal will take place two days before he launches his "That's My Kind Of Night Tour." Bryan is slated to kick off the trek in Columbus, Ohio on January 16th. The first leg of the trek runs two months, wrapping up in Bossier City, Louisiana on March 8th. Lee Brice and Cole Swindell are on board as openers.
Bryan is touring behind his latest album, Crash My Party, which arrived in stores back in August. The disc includes Luke's current single, "Drink A Beer."
Wonder what his "special announcement" could be!
