What Exactly is Google Sniper 2.0 ?
Google Sniper 2.0 can be a product developed by George Brown that is one of many top guy in affiliate marketing world. Google Sniper 2.0 product is a way to create websites to make affiliate sales on autopilot. Websites are made in wordpress and surprisingly rank well on the internet along with other search engines like google as a result of excellent on-page SEO. George exactly explains his secret keyphrase research method, choosing the best affiliate product to promote and particularly the way to create the sniper sites that search engine will enjoy.
Google Sniper 2.0 will be the art of building these essentially one page "sniper" sites that rank inside the search engines exceptionally well. And they rank well with very little if any off page optimization or backlink building as a result of unique 'formula' accustomed to build the websites.Obviously, all the traffic comes clear of the various search engines, so there is really no increasing visitor count whatsoever.
Who's George Brown?
George Montagu Brown, also known as George Brown can be an online internet and marketer. George is twenty years old and arises from great britain. Despite the fact that George is 20, he's an internet marketing expert with only three years of experience but what he was able to do and achieve within 36 months, many online marketers don't neutralize 10.George started with all the online website marketing world in January 2008 when he was 17 and against all odds found good success as an affiliate marketer, making thousands of dollars. George later started making his very own products through which he has shared the ability he gained and revealed his strategies and tactics that helped him be a affiliate in a very short period of time.
How Does Google Sniper 2.0 Work ?
This Google Sniper system just isn't promising you what you will earn 1000s of dollars per day without moving a finger. The offer will allow you to make sniper sites you can do in no more than a few a hours and can get you around 1000$ 30 days on complete autopilot. When George launched the first version of Google Sniper more that 50 people decided that using an offline job is always to hard and started creating wealth only online.
What is Inside The Google Sniper 2.0 Member's Area ?
The Google Sniper 2 system consists of several steps.
- Market and keyword research. In this section, buyers will be exposed on the right way to find profitable keywords. One of the most effective methods would be to use paid keyword tools like Keyword Elite and Market Samurai.
- Site creation with WordPress. WordPress is indeed one powerful tool for site building and search engine optimization. This is one big reason why Google Sniper 2 methods is very effective, since it uses WordPress. This section also teaches what kind of themes to use and some on page SEO techniques.
- Boost the site ranking. Youtube is indeed one powerful site for getting traffic and high quality backlink. Google Sniper 2 buyers will be exposed on the right way to create high quality videos quickly to upload into this site.
Google Sniper 2.0 Modules
- Module 1 : How to Pick a Winning Product – I know this video will likely be boring but I'm glad I watched it. George actually taught me time saving easy methods to use CBEngine for locating Clickbank products. It is just amazing that I'm still learning new tips here and there that could make my techniques more refined.
- Module 2 : Keyword Research Sniper Style – This can be a first video that I watched because I was really intrigued by George's market and keyword research method. It all begins with the proper keywords whenever you're claiming that you could get top Google rankings without any linkbuilding. The real key tip that I got was he's using phrase match. After George finds a keyword, he puts the term by having a sniff test (he prefers to use a results of 17K or less in quotes) and give you some awesome pointers on how to analyze the real competition by looking into the net pages which can be ranking towards the top 10 once you search the keyword without using quotes.
- Module 3 : Creating Your Site's Foundations – I love to install WordPress manually but George will show a less difficult method to install with your hosting. Next, he'll teach you the best way to install necessary plugins for example All In One SEO and Google XML Sitemap. Again this video was boring but beginners will certainly find out how easy it really is to create a sniper site.
- Module 4 : Increasing Conversions by PreSelling – Several cons from the original Google Sniper course is that George encourages you to definitely think of a character and falsely claiming that you've found success even though you didn't. Now within this 2nd version, George were built with a alteration of conscience and is also now teaching the best way to improve conversions within an ethical fashion which also coincides with all the FTC policies. In addition, the recording only contains the introduction as well as the meat influences manual.
- Module 5 : How to Cloak Affiliate Links – In this video, George will take you step-by-step through on the way to make your ugly affiliate links more pleasing to the eye of your visitors. That is geared more for complete beginners as everyone may have their particular method of cloaking their links. I make use of the same system for cloaking and I have to say that simplicity always rocks.
- Module 6 : Creating Your Sniper Site's Content – In this video, George is definitely likely to demonstrate crafting your first post, about me page and the way to add your sidebar bio. I know he's attempting to reach out to beginners but I believe he may have shared a useful video like showing how to write a pre sell page that will convert or showing where you can put affiliate links for higher click through rate, etc. I felt that this video would be a bit evil (16 min) for under showing some elementary publishing.
- Module 7 : The Ranking Process – This video is centered on getting those initial links which means your sniper site could get indexed and ranking quickly. I do not make use of the linkbuilding techniques that George shared with this video because I curently have a method for ranking my webpages using articles. But I know that his linking techniques work specifically for the sort of keywords that you simply're likely to target.
Google Sniper 2.0 – Good Points :
- You can be up and running with less than 20$ (you only need hosting and a domain name)
- You can make as many sites as you want
- The Empire module is really a great outsourcing course (this can easily be a stand alone product for 99$ and it is free for us)
- You will learn how to pick products that really worth promoting
- You will learn how to do a market research
- How to write effective copy that make your visitor wanna buy
Google Sniper 2.0 – Bad Points :
- Sometimes you have to wait up to a couple of weeks for Google to give you proper rankings.
- You really have to work a little bit in order to succeed!

Premiere: Volunteer Civil Protection Volunteers for Jordan
Bonn. Today sees the first-ever civil defense volunteers being trained in Amman (Jordan) for possible missions in the wake of natural disasters. Volunteer trainers from the Technische Hilfswerk (THW) and a project team with full-time THW staff are acting as mentors to provide support for their Jordanian colleagues.
"Here, today, an important building block is being put in place to establish the foundations of a volunteer-based civil defense system for Jordan and the region," said THW Vice-President Gerd Friedsam, who was in Amman for the opening of the training course to witness the skills of the Jordanian volunteers. In their two-week basic training, the future operatives are learning to use technical equipment and being shown what they have to be aware of during a mission if they are to provide safe and effective assistance.
The contents of the training course have been customised by the trainers at the General Directorate of Jordan Civil Defense (JCD), together with the THW operatives, in order to match the circumstances of their country. The schedule includes elements such as mission communication, health and safety, fire protection and first aid. Furthermore, the civil defense trainers are instructing their fellow Jordanian participants in the use of angle grinders and hammer drills to work with metal and stone – as needed, for example, to rescue people buried in rubble.
The Jordanian trainers themselves had previously been taught the special nature of training volunteers during a course given this summer by experienced THW trainers. Visiting several THW local sections in Germany, they were shown how practical and theoretical skills are not the only important aspects: fun, team spirit and motivation are also essential elements.
The training course now starting is part of an ongoing cooperation between JCD and THW. In the future, further training courses for civil defense volunteers are planned throughout Jordan. "The enthusiasm of the first volunteers convinced me the project will develop very well," said Friedsam optimistically. The long-term aim is to support and promote the sustainable establishment of volunteer-based structures in the country's civil defense. This project is funded by the German Foreign Office.

I think that the are certain benefits - it's a good way to scan through a multitude of profiles and options to find people who you think suit you. With that comes a negative - you can judge people on trivial issues that really wouldn't be considered otherwise. Such judgment can lead to shallowness... that would be my major criticism.

lol whut?
This is exemplified on our discussion of physical abuse-- that is to say, I believe that Ferris was not agitated when she hit Ryner, hence, this type of abuse does not typify the same abuse that angry Louise undergoes. Thereby Ferris cannot be a tsundere because she does not fall into the category as traditionally defined. But you're saying that since it's an abuse, that's the tsun side of tsundere.
In the end, it just boils down to semantics. I'm still wondering, though, where did you get the type C tsundere?

Well... the more I watch this anime, the boring-er it gets.... I am now thinking of dropping this series...
Anyways... here's the super old Dere chart (still haven't found an updated one... this is like 3-4+ years old)
Someone should update it, since there's a lot more degrees of Dere, and the newly one that's brought forth by the manga "Onidere" it's the extreme form of Tsundere and Yandere combined...

She is a tsundere, because a normal girl would not try to hide her true feelings so hard and be in a such a constant denial ecven with herself, so she clearly is not what you would call normal, but she is not energy and anger packed up Type A but is not usually sweet and normal but then turning into small furious bits Type B as her mask is more constant than that.
Thus the need for Type C, which is sort of both Type A and Type B but at the same time not them when taken separately. Type C is I guess closer to Type B as Type B tsunderes are not really pent up with anger and are really dere as default and have the explosions of tsun depending on situations. Type C doesn't have such explosions of tsun but their dere is not really a dere either but more like stretched tsun cause their self protection is not anger but rather playfulness and teasing but still nevertheless hiding their true self and feelings from their love interest just like typical tsundere does.
She is not a kuudere too because she is not always calm and composed and she uses a tsun technique. Kuudere should not use tsun technique because her main feature should be kuu (cool, calm) and dere, not kuu-tsun-dere. Thats why the likes like Yue from Negima or Yuki from Harruhi are textbook kuudere's but the likes like Hitagi from Bakemonogatri are not, because they use tsun technique 'smirk' often which kind of makes her kuu part as the main part questionable.
ferris also uses the smirk, (a tsun techhnique) but at the same time does it with calm, cool face like a kuudere. But because of her relationship act she is still closer to tsun (due to her methods even if the lack the hostility) tree. But in any case the discussions of Ferris being a tsundere or kuudere is pointless for now because she doesnt show her dere side in anycase so she cannot be either for now.
I just view that the aloofness can be created by an interaction technique and the character do not actually be really aloof for that. While you think that the character needs to be aloof independently from the interaction technique used.
I don't know if you know but there is a character Yamada from B Gata H Kei, who if you look by her acts is a 100% tsundere, but since the story is told from her point of view she is not a 100% tsundere because it shows how many of her tsun acts are misunderstandings, but even if they are a misunderstandings they still generate the same reaction from her and from others as simple tsun does even if she herself is not really aloof. This character probably illustrates our views differences the best.

It's like watching a show through a fish tank. Most of the episode was sluggish if I want to call it. I really dislike the beating Ferris beating Ryner game as I see it continues in ep 6. That's why I dropped that Occult Gakuin anime...
However, I like the magic aspect of the show and will cross my fingers hoping that Ferris grows up or Ryner shoots a fireball up her ass...
I did find it odd at first that Sion had no clue Miran attack the duo, but guessed that Sion wasn't keeping that close of a tab on him. Next episode looks to have more action, hopefully...

Overall, the pacing is too fast actually. Lots of scenes seem to be cut out / condensed, like fighting the assassins, etc. Maybe they are not necessary to the story telling, but it certainly takes away the tension and excitement. They probably are seriously wanting to cramp all 11 volumes into 26 episodes. The fight between Miran and FxR seems too fast. There's supposed to be more excitement and dangerous situations when I read that part. Meh... tension lost... WTF is with that "crude care" mentioned in passing? Where is the scene of Ryner treating Ferris's wounds!? That would be ultimate! (Ferris holding her sword saying "If you make any strange move, I'll kill you" as Ryner is tending to her wounds)

Now Milan believes in world domination and for Sion to do it he must be the only Messiah. Thus it would be better to have the bad prince rather than his son Toale be the King. Toale is unambitious but he has qualities of a benevolent king.
Milan is basically the Token Evil Teammate of Sion's group.
Milan likes to think he is the king's indispensable subordinate for the dirty stuff. He doesn't really know what is going on. Lucile Eris putting Sion in his position and willing to kill him if he isn't good enough. Sion sending Ryner and Ferris to collect WMDs based on a thesis of Ryner to keep the peace. An equivalent of a nuclear deterrent plan. You don't need conventional magical warfare if one possesses all the Hero Relics.
Lets just say Milan's plan of continental conquest is conventional while Ryner's thesis is revolutionary.

Sion knew full well what Miran intended to do, regardless of wether he ordered him to or not. I also believe he tried to get Ryner and Ferris away from Toale so Miran could kill him off easily, but judging from his reaction at the end, he may have miscalculated how to keep them away...that, or he actually considered acceptable to sacrifice them...

Episode 6 was probably one of my favorite episode up until now. The fight between Ferris and Ryner and Milan, was pretty cool and well done. It surprised me that Sion didn't set up that fight, I thought maybe he was doing it to keep tabs on Milan. I found that rock music rift, that was used, while sneaking around sounded a bit out of place

Ferris' abuse of Ryner is so irritating. Everything else is fine: great setting, great plot, great animation, interesting characters, love the action scenes & effects. I even like the Ferris/Ryner pairing. I just wish they'd toss the petty slapstick out the window.

Shion ordered Ferris and Ryner to look after him at the party. They climbed the roof of a nearby building but they were spotted. So, they ran off. Since they weren't really into watching Shion, they split and went back to Toale. Shion saw them run off.
Shion walks into his room, Miran killed the assassin that was supposed to kill him and tells Shion he's dealt with the nobles who were allied to Shion's enemies. Shion leaves to inform the king about the plot against him and his sons involvement.
Miran leaves Shion with the promise to kill the remaining conspirators/participants or to deal with unfinished business. Miran shows up and confuses Ryner for Toale. Miran believes he was being expected. Was Toale an actual conspirator? Did he assist his fathers' allies?

Toale did nothing. In fact, it was mentioned that his father started conspiring with other nobles, including those of Roland, since the king (of Nelpha) started having thoughts of changing the successor to Toale. Miran just thought Toale as posing a future threat, if he becomes king, to Roland's ambition to conquering the continent, and decided to remove him.

Best albums to start with?
Basically, I only listen to indie music that's from the last few years, with the exception of Pavement. As an effort to listen to some of the older stuff, can you suggest the best album by these bands (or suggest a different band):
Sonic Youth
Built To Spill
Guided By Voices
Silver Jews
Sonic Youth - EVOL, Dirty, Murray St, Sonic Nurse, Washing Machine, Daydream nation. (avodi ny something and ghosts, it's shit)
Pixies - Surfer Rosa, Doolittle
Built to Spill - what's the early one? s/t? w/ Cars ...anyway, Ancient Melodies, Perfect From Now On
GBV - Mag Earwhig, Bee Thousand, Isolation Drills (sorta), Universal Truths & Cycles, Earthquake Glue...but there's a greatest hits thing that might tide ya over, Cos Pollard writes riffs the way O Henry wrote short stories - there's a lot of them and they're all fairly great. (the one with the smashed up car or something is kinda weak)
Silver Jews - American Waters and my fav Starlite Walker
Sebadoh...I don't know.
see lyle's Best of 90s thread for more cool stuff. You should really probably own all this stuff so if I was you I'd hunt them down in the used bin one by one but a lot of folks dig the eMusic way.
I'm being extra nice to you mr intheno cos I was shitty to four-five and this is my amends.
Oh. And because it's smoke a cig before bed time. Hope this helps. Good night!
One word- Bakesale. Apparantly.
Dont start with
Washing machine it's not nearly approachable enough, start with Sister, EVOL, Daydream Nation, SISTER, Goo or Murray Street
^i agree with this
start with either under the bushes under the stars or alien lanes for guided by voices, get bee thousand if you like them
Pixies- Surfer Rosa
some will say doolittle, but I think their first album is a better introdution to the sheer unhinged nature of their sound
Sonic Youth- It's Dirty or Daydream Nation. EVOL is too heavy for most, and Sonic Nurse is a later album of theirs, best for getting after you have earlier ones.
Guided By Voices- I only have Bee Thousand. It's good, not one of my favourite artists though. Jamie_summers would tell you to get that one, he loves them.
Built To Spill- This is hard for me, as I ain't a big big fan. I think their best is Perfect From Now On. follow up with There's Nothing Wrong With Love, or maybe the new one, I forget it's name.
The others I can't help with.

Smart meters measure the use of a product such as electricity and send usage information back to the supplier on a regular basis, according to the American Cancer Society. They emit the same kinds of radio waves — a type of electromagnetic radiation — as cell phones and Wi-Fi devices.
Concerns have been raised about the safety of smart meters due to the radiation. At very high levels, radio waves can heat up body tissues, according to the American Cancer Society, but the low levels of energy emitted by smart meters are not enough to raise body temperature and are further diluted by the distance they typically need to reach people through walls.
Little research exists about the safety of smart meters, because they are relatively new. Research does exist regarding the possible health effects of exposure to radio waves in general. and it suggests that such waves might produce biological effects in human cells, according to the American Cancer Society.

Removing Eyesores & Tackling Blight
Clyde Gateway covers an area some 840 hectares (2,000 acres) in size of which, in 2008, more than 40% was classified as vacant or derelict. A number of Commonwealth Games projects would see large tracts of such land brought back into use but our consultations revealed a strong desire for many other infrastructure and environmental improvements to make our communities more attractive places in which to live and work.
By 2011 we had completed work on four environmental improvement projects at Bridgeton Cross, Rutherglen Station, Tullis Street Memorial Gardens and the Calton Burial Grounds before turning our attention to a range of key physical transformational projects such as new office developments, factory units, business parks and community facilities.
This work has included the re-opening of an historic listed building at the Olympia at Bridgeton Cross, the conversion into offices of shop premises that had lain empty for more than 20 years and, in partnership with the Forestry Commission Scotland, the creation of Cuningar Loop Woodland Park in the heart of the Clyde Gateway area on the banks of the River Clyde close to Rutherglen town centre.
By 31 March 2018, Clyde Gateway had remediated 245 hectares of derelict and contaminated land, which equates to more than 70% of our overall 20-year target to 2028.

A number of the world's largest technology companies today began publishing details about the number of secret government requests for data they receive, hoping to prove limited involvement in controversial US surveillance efforts.
A number of the world's largest technology companies today began publishing details about the number of secret government requests for data they receive, hoping to prove limited involvement in controversial US surveillance efforts.
The tech industry has pushed for greater transparency on government data requests, seeking to shake off concerns about their involvement in vast, surreptitious surveillance programs revealed last summer by former spy contractor Edward Snowden.
The US government said last month it would relax rules restricting what details companies can disclose about Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court orders they receive for user information. Several companies, including Google and Microsoft, sued the government last year, seeking the ability to disclose more of that data.
Apple has already released information based on the new rules.
Microsoft general counsel Brad Smith today said the latest data showed that the info the government has asked online companies to turn over has not been as vast as some feared.
"We have not received the type of bulk data requests that are commonly discussed publicly regarding telephone records," Smith said. "This is a point we've publicly been making in a generalised way since last summer, and it's good finally to have the ability to share concrete data."
Between 15,000 to 15,999 Microsoft-user accounts were the subject of FISA court orders requesting content during the first six months of 2013, the company said.
Still, Smith acknowledged - based on Snowden's leaked documents - that the government may have intercepted user information without tech companies' knowledge or cooperation, by tapping into communications cables that link Google and Yahoo data centres.
"Despite the President's reform efforts and our ability to publish more information, there has not yet been any public commitment by either the US or other governments to renounce the attempted hacking of internet companies," he said on Microsoft's blog.
"We believe the Constitution requires that our government seek information from American companies within the rule of law."
Several tech companies had previously disclosed an approximate number of national security letters, which typically seek customer data without court approval. Now, they have greater leeway also to disclose details around FISA orders.
Google said that between 9000 and 9999 of its users' accounts were the subject of such requests during the period, while Facebook said it received FISA content requests for between 5000 to 5999 members' accounts.
Yahoo said between 30,000 and 30,999 of accounts received FISA requests for content, which it said could include words in an email or instant message, photos on its Flickr photo-sharing service and address book or calendar entries.
The various requests affected a fraction of a percent of the hundreds of millions of users each company says employ its online services, from email and search to social networking.
In terms of aggregate requests, Microsoft, Google and Facebook said they each received between 0 and 999 FISA content requests during the first six months of 2013.
The companies are required to report the number of requests in increments of 1000, and can only report the data with a six-month delay, under the relaxed rules.
The three companies also said they had received between 0 and 999 "non-content" FISA orders between January and June 2013, seeking general information such as user names.

customer reviews for family room den
"No tools, no holes!"
By johnion from Coatesville, PA
My wife and I bought these to install on our windows with vinyl returns. We wanted internal mounted shades but didn't want to have to drill into the vinyl. Simple fit shades were the solution! Installation was simple and the shades can easily be removed and rehung anytime. Just be sure to take accurate measurements for a perfect fit.View this product

Hey guys,
for my final post this week on technology I'm sharing some posts I think might help you guys in your day to day use of technology.
My first life hack today is to help you in your searching for solutions to problems on Google. Although I never think to do it, it really can be this simple.
My next tip is to help you untangle the technology in your life.With every technological advance we make to our lives we acquire another unidentifiable black plug. To help tell whether you're plugging out the DVD player or the sky box, the toaster or the fridge to charge your phone, try labeling the plugs as illustrated here with bread ties. This is especially handy if the wires you're searching through are all under a desk as it speeds things up.
This is especially handy if the wires you're searching through are all under a desk as it speeds things up and minimises the time on the floor with your butt in the air.
And finally, if technology is taking over your life in the wrong ways there's now some software that might help you.
If Snapchat, Facebook or Twitter are constantly distracting you this program can block them for an amount of time that you determine.
That's all from my blog for this week. As always, if you want to see the original website the life hacks came from just click on the images.
Toodles guys,

Officer Tristan Barnes grabbed Jorgieliz Casanova at the Yale Art Gallery before she could get away.
"You remind me of me," the officer told the young woman. "You've got to do an internship!"
Casanova (at right in photo) and a group of other New Haven college students had just told Barnes (at left) and a group of her fellow Yale cops about their career dreams. Casanova, a Metropolitan Business Academy grad who grew up in the Hill, spoke of how she is studying criminal justice at Albertus Magnus College. She had considered going into the army, then decided she'd seek a law-enforcement career instead.
In her youth, Barnes, too, had considered an armed forces career—with the Marines. "My mother begged me not to" sign up, said Barnes, a Quinnipiac U grad. She switched to law-enforcement, landed on the Yale force six years ago. "Law enforcement puts me out there to help people" every day, she said.
Dozens of other similar interactions were taking place amid the pricey modern art on the gallery walls last Thursday afternoon. A "pipeline" was opening up. A jobs pipeline.
New Haven Promise, the program that pays college costs for successful New Haven kids, gathered 69 of its "scholars" to meet with hiring managers from nine different Yale departments as well as a new city job-placement agency. The idea was to connect promising young New Haveners to jobs at New Haven's largest employer, at least through internships or summer positions if not long-term employment.
It was the latest of a number of moves civic New Haven has made recently to address high unemployment and underemployment in a city that's growing an "eds and meds" economy. New Haven's unemployment rate roughly doubled over the past 20 years, to between 12 and 13 percent, while more than 2,000 new jobs were created.
Written Into Development Deals
The idea of creating a "pipeline" to jobs—not just referrals, but training and mentoring—arose two years ago in the wake of an historic local election campaign.
First Yale's labor unions negotiated a new contract with the university that created a preferential hiring track for New Haveners. Diane Young Turner, who oversees the effort for Yale, said around 100 New Haveners have landed positions throughout the university since it got up and running in June.
Labor-backed aldermen worked with government and corporate leaders to create a similar program, called New Haven Works, to prepare and vet and then seek hiring priority for local people at other employers. The agency has a $1.2 million budget. In its first six months the agency found 110 people jobs.
Meanwhile, city officials have sought to build the "pipeline"—the new programs, plus a separate government-spawned trades school launched on Dixwell Aveune—into negotiations on development deals.
The builder of one of New Haven's next big planned projects, for instance, has promised to look for construction workers through new city-hatched "pipelines." The promise is contained in a deal currently before the Board of Aldermen for approval: with a private developer to build a 120,000-square-foot office and retail complex on Legion Avenue across from Career High School, the beginning stage of a broader planned rezoning and rebuilding of 16 acres of land between downtown and the Boulevard called "Route 34 West."
The promise: That the developer (a partnership between a for-profit Middletown-based builder called Centerplan and a local not-for-profit called Continuum of Care) will "utilize the City-sponsored workforce program (Construction Workforce Initiative 2) as a source of recruitment" for construction workers and "use best good faith efforts to negotiate a partner agreement with New Haven Works concerning employment opportunities with the Developer directly associated with the Project."
That means the city can steer to the project workers it has trained through a training center it created for low-income, low-skilled local people, called the Cozzi-J. Miller-Pearson Career Development School on Dixwell Avenue. And it means it can also steer unemployed and underemployed people to the project from New Haven Works, the "job pipeline" program government, business and labor leaders created this past year.
That promise is continued in a land disposition agreement between the city and the builder as part of a proposed sale of $2.65 million of 5.39 acres of land at 243 Legion Ave., which is to become a consolidated home for Continuum of Care along with retail shops. (Click here to read the land disposition agreement. Click here to read a previous story about the Route 34 West project.)
Livable City Initiative (LCI) chief Erik Johnson, who helped negotiate the deal, said he hopes that promise sets a precedent for how New Haven does development in the future: Making sure jobs created by new projects go to local people. That has proved a challenge, in part because it hasn't always been easy to find well-trained people ready for those jobs.
New Haven Works was created to help address that challenge. So was the Dixwell Avenue school, part of a "Construction Workforce Initiative" created by the city's Commission on Equal Opportunities (CEO). The program does screening on behalf of employers, along with job-readiness training.
The Route 34 West agreement also calls for the developer to give the CEO $50,000 to enforce local laws requiring that at least 25 percent of the jobs on government-backed building projects go to blacks and Latinos, and at least 6.9 percent go to women. Another $50,000 would go toward a different city program, the Small Business Initiative, to help develop a pool of minority-owned contractors and subcontractors.
The city obtained similar local-hiring agreements in negotiations with a Montreal developer poised to construct at $395 million project on the former New Haven Coliseum site, according to Johnson.
Nichole Jefferson (pictured), who runs the CEO and created the Dixwell Avenue training school, called the guarantees in the Route 34 West deal the most explicit she has seen since taking over the job in 2001. Since she created the workforce initiative program, some 4,500 people have been prepared for painting, plumbing, carpentry, asbestos-removal, and solar-installation jobs, among other construction trades, she said. The school, the pre-construction program of its kind in New England, has another 55 trainees graduating on Jan. 17. The program teaches the trainees not just specialized skills, but general math skills—and showing-up skills. Many get kicked out of the program for showing up late three times.
"You can't give a bad candidate to a contractor," Jefferson said.
"Contractors want to do the right thing. Sometimes they need a push."
1 On The Way
At the Yale University Art Gallery last Thursday afternoon, the 69 New Haven college students—who as a group graduated from 11 different city high schools and now attend 14 different in-state colleges—gathered in an auditorium to hear from New Haven Promise's Patricia Melton. Melton organized the first-ever event to build on her program's goal of not just helping New Haveners attend and succeed in college, but also return home to good jobs.
Then the students met in small groups for 10 minutes at each of the 10 stations set up by New Haven Works and the nine separate Yale departments, from the university's art galleries and music school to finance and IT and environmental health.
Yale Police Chief Ronnell Higgins (at right in photo) was particularly enthusiastic as he pitched Jorgieliz Casanova and her fellow Promise students on applying for paid summer internships with his department as well as, upon their graduation, permanent positions. Higgins lit up as he heard each student's brief story, offering a reason for each one to consider the Yale PD.
"The goal," he said during a break, "is to grow and pick from our own garden. If a year from now we can hire two to three people from this program, it's a successful start."
Officer Barnes helped Higgins make that start. Before rushing to another 10-minute session, Casanova handed Barnes a copy of her resume. She said she definitely would like to try out that internship.

Indonesia reported a surprisingly large trade surplus for November, while inflation was steady last month, which could give the central bank room to keep its benchmark rate unchanged next week.
Data from the statistics bureau showed a trade surplus of $780 million in November, compared with a projected $70 million deficit in a Reuters poll.
(Read more: Indonesia gets ready for Fed tapering)
The rupiah strengthened slightly on the news, to 12,200 to the U.S. dollar from 12,205, compared with the previous close of 12,160.
November's exports fell 2.4 percent on an annual basis, but imports dropped 10.55 percent as demand was subdued, apparently in part because the weak rupiah has raised import costs.

Summer Series for Singles 20s/30s
For 4 weeks this summer (July 10-31), our Singles 20s/30s Ministry will be hosting a Summer Series on Wednesdays at 7pm in Room 304 at the church (3rd floor of the main building).
This will happen in the place of our regular small groups, so if you're new to Birmingham and/or Brook Hills and want to get involved, coming to the Summer Series is a great first step. Each week will be a different topic, but this year, our overall theme is The Image of God. So each week, we'll be fleshing out how being image-bearers affects how we view ourselves and how we relate to other people.
We'll also have the room open at 6pm each Wednesday for folks who are coming straight from work and want to bring their dinner and eat/fellowship with others.
Last year, we had a great time of teaching and discussion, and we're looking forward to how God wants to use this summer to stretch and grow us individually and as a ministry.

I have travelled hundreds of miles in late July zigzagging across farm regions in several California Central Coast counties as Western Farm Press editor.
It has been a spectacular, visual ride witnessing California's food cornucopia 'under construction' in farm fields.
Interviews with numerous growers have unveiled what those in agriculture already understand – a love and respect for the land, the thrill of getting one's hands dirty in the soil, raising a crop from a seed or small plant to harvest, and accomplishing this amazing feat in a sustainable manner.
The message from wine grape growers I've visited is the same – a good clean crop with good fruit quality.
Andy Mitchell, director of viticulture with Hahn Family Wines, shared two hours out of his busy day with this journalist at the Soledad operation in the Santa Lucia Highlands in Monterey County.
Mitchell said grape quality is good, despite some pressure from powdery mildew and mealybugs. Treatments have managed the challenges. Yields are right on target.
The Hahn Family grows about 1,100 acres of wine grapes. The varieties include Pinot Noir (50-plus percent), Chardonnay, Grenache, Merlot, Pinot Gris, Malbec, and Syrah. About 40 clones are produced.
"Clones are to a winemaker as a palate is to a painter," Mitchell said.
Mitchell has helped re-invent the Hahn wine grape operation over the last 15 years with varieties with a better fit for the area's soils and climate. Look for the full story with Mitchell, and his cultural practices in grape production, coming up on the Western Farm Press website and in Western Farm Press magazine.
Travelling across Monterey County, vegetable fields on the Salinas Valley floor were busy places. Broccoli was under sprinkler irrigation with the always amazing sound of water thrust into the air and landing on the plants and soil. Music to the ears.
Cheers from the Central Coast. My dusty car needs a car wash…or two.

Lower Fitzroy River
The Lower Fitzroy River Infrastructure Project is investigating new water storage infrastructure, specifically weirs, on the Fitzroy River. This potential development was identified in the Central Queensland Regional Water Supply Strategy to help meet future demand for water from urban populations, industry and agriculture in Rockhampton, Gladstone and the Capricorn Coast.
SunWater is working in conjunction with the Gladstone Area Water Board to investigate the options for water infrastructure on the Fitzroy River.
The project encompasses two sites – Eden Bann Weir and Rookwood Crossing. The potential development options that are being investigated are:
- Raising the existing Eden Bann Weir to a number of levels
- Constructing a new weir near Rookwood Crossing, again with a number of levels being considered
- Options comprising a combination of the above
The feasibility of the options for new water infrastructure at these sites will focus on whether these options will provide an increase in water reliability and security for existing regional water users and enable further regional development.
For more information on the project and to view the project's website, visit www.fitzroyweirs.com.au.

Retired Halladay returns to spring training
CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — Retirement is not keeping Roy Halladay away from baseball.
Halladay is a guest instructor with the Philadelphia Phillies for a few weeks this spring.
"I love being here," the two-time Cy Young Award winner said. "I definitely want to keep doing it."
Halladay sounds as if he'd like to parlay his spring tutor work into a second career as a coach down the road. The 36-year-old Halladay spent the final four seasons of his career with the Phillies, following a successful run with Toronto.
"I think maybe this first year (after playing), I want to make sure that I get to spend the time that I want with my boys and my wife, and that's my priority," said Halladay, who retired from a 16-year playing career in December. "Once I see how things work, yeah, I'd love to continue to do it and if I have more time, do more. I'll always continue doing it. It's just a matter of starting to figure out how much I can do. Once the kids are (grown up), maybe it's something to do full time."
Halladay spent the final four seasons of his career with the Phillies, following a remarkable run in Toronto.
In 2000, his second full season in the big leagues, Halladay went 4-7 with a 10.64 ERA in 19 games. At the time, it was the highest ERA for any pitcher with at least 10 starts in a season in major league history.
Halladay rebuilt his career when he was sent to A-ball a year later.
He went 135-62 with a 3.13 ERA from 2001-09 with the Blue Jays, racking up 14 shutouts and 47 complete games. He won the American League Cy Young Award in 2003.
Halladay's dominance continued in his first two seasons in Philadelphia, going 40-16 with a 2.40 ERA, five shutouts and 17 complete games. He won the National League Cy Young Award in 2010, when he threw a perfect game in May and became just the second pitcher in baseball history to throw a postseason no-hitter in October.
The final two seasons of Halladay's career were beset with injuries: he had a 5.15 ERA in 38 starts, made two lengthy stays on the disabled list and required shoulder surgery last May.
Despite the ultra-competitive nature that defined his career, and the fact that he never had the chance to pitch in a World Series, Halladay will not be making a comeback attempt.
"For me it was a long decision - it wasn't something that happened overnight," Halladay said. "It was the right decision for me. I felt it was the best option and the only option. I still feel good about it."
Halladay has sat in on coaches meetings this month with the Phillies. He's also consulted with first-year pitching coach Bob McClure about his own observations and he's enjoyed lengthy, one-on-one conversations with several pitchers in camp, including top prospect Jesse Biddle.
"He's a Hall of Famer," the 22-year-old Biddle. "He's unbelievable. . There are a lot of things you want to learn from a guy like that."
Halladay is content with retirement. He's enjoying time with his family, coaching his sons' baseball and basketball teams. But since his family home is only a short drive from Clearwater, he's happy to help his former team, too.
"Anything they want to talk about," Halladay said. "We've talked mechanics, mental stuff, pitch selection. We've really kind of covered the gambit. I enjoy talking pitching and talking baseball. And I don't have all the answers. I don't claim to, but I'm more than happy to share my beliefs."

Is the weather affecting your shopping?
Snow-covered streets and bedlam mania temporarily deterred holiday shoppers from getting out during part of this past weekend, but some retailers reported heavy customer traffic by Sunday as well as optimism for the rest of the year. And, just remember, most retailers are open no matter the inclement weather. The wintry weather affected local shopping last weekend and with warmer temperatures prevailing, shoppers will be hitting Frontier Mall and other Cheyenne retailers in droves. Several hot items last weekend were gloves, scarfs and more weather related items.

Yoma Strategic Holdings Ltd has signed an agreement with two global construction companies to build Yoma Central and The Peninsula Yangon in Myanmar. Both projects sit on an approximately 10-acre site in the heart of downtown Yangon, with completion estimated to take place in 2021. The combined contract value of the two projects is over US$400 million, and the main works contracts will include civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and heritage works.
For the Yoma Central project, the contractor is BTJV Myanmar Company Limited, which is a joint venture between Dragages Singapore Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of Bouygues Construction, and Taisei Corporation, one of Japan's building construction and civil engineering companies. The Peninsula Yangon project will be built by BYMA Pte Ltd4, which is a joint venture between Dragages Singapore Pte Ltd and Yoma.
"Yoma Central is considered one of the largest foreign direct investments in Myanmar's real estate sector with an investment of more than US$700 million. It is important that we bring in world class civil and engineering expertise to develop this flagship Yangon property," said Cyrus Pun, executive director of Yoma Strategic. "Bouygues Construction has unrivalled experiences in the field of heritage conservation, coming from a history of restoration projects which includes some of the most prestigious historic hotels in Europe. Japan's Taisei Corporation is one of the oldest and biggest construction companies in Japan and was involved in the New Doha International Airport in Qatar, and the construction of the New National Stadium in Japan."
In February 2017, Yoma Strategic held a groundbreaking ceremony to commemorate receiving the Myanmar Investment Commission (MIC) permits. Construction work has already commenced, including the demolition of FMI Centre and Grand Meeyahta Executive Residences, test piling, storm drain diversion and the construction of a culvert under the Bogyoke Aung San Road.
Conservation works including the dismantling, cataloguing and storing of all windows, doors, balconies, cast iron and other architectural items have been completed, and those items will be reused in accordance with the Conservation Management Plan for the former headquarters of the Burma Railway Company. Facade strengthening and underpinning works are being undertaken to ensure that the building is conserved and refurbished to international standards.

Aregatta Principal Andrew Bondarowicz, Esq., as Executive Director for the National Association of Sports Agents & Athlete Representatives (NASAAR), participated in the Uniform Laws Commission's (ULC) Drafting Committee in Chicago on October 25-26, 2013.
The ULC Study Commission is examining and eventually recommending changes to the Uniform Athlete Agent Act (UAAA), which is the basis for agent regulation in over 40 states nationally. The ULC is seeking to publish its draft legislation next year in hopes of gaining adoption in the ensuing years.
"The UAAA, while noble in its intentions, has been poorly applied and largely ineffective in regulating the industry. There is a great deal of interest from the agent community in either rationalizing it or scrapping it altogether. There is at least consensus that something has to change," says Bondarowicz. "This is a keystone issue for agents around the country."
The ULC will be reconvening in April for the next round of drafting sessions in Seattle, Washington.

Crude oil oversupply concerns regained the spotlight in recent trading sessions, forcing credit rating agency S&P to dole out another round of downgrades on energy companies. According to the American Petroleum Institute, crude oil stockpiles rose by 3.387 million barrels last week while other energy supplies also rose.
WTI crude oil dipped below $30/barrel again to a low of $29.47/barrel while Brent crude oil slipped to $32.50/barrel towards the end of the New York session. US equities closed lower, with the Dow 30 down 295.64 points to 16,153.54 (-1.80%), the S&P 500 index down 36.35 points to 1,903.03 (-1.87%), and the Nasdaq down 103.4 points to 4,516.9 (-2.24%).
The S&P 500 VIX, which is considered a gauge of market uncertainty, rose by 2.00 points to 21.98 (+10.01%) to indicate a rise in risk aversion.
European markets down by more than 2%
Equity indices in Europe also closed lower for the day, with the German DAX down 176.84 points to 9,581.04 (-1.81%) and the French CAC 40 down by 108.34 points to 4,283.99 (-2.47%). The Euro Stoxx 50 is down 72.22 points to 2,948.79 (-2.39%) and the London FTSE is down 138.09 points to 5,922.01 (-2.28%).
Data from the UK came in weaker than expected, as the construction PMI showed a sharp drop from 57.8 to 55.0 instead of the projected dip to 57.6. The services PMI is due today and a fall from 55.5 to 55.4 is eyed. Thursday has the Bank of England monetary policy statement, Inflation Report, and MPC meeting minutes lined up.
NZ jobs, dairy auction, and AU trade balance disappoint
Asian markets are currently in the red after seeing disappointing results from New Zealand's dairy auction and Australia's trade balance. The auction yielded a sharper 7.4% fall in prices compared to the previous 1.4% drop, indicating that the dairy industry is still facing headwinds. Meanwhile, Australia showed a 3.54 billion AUD trade deficit, wider than the projected 2.45 billion AUD shortfall.
The Nikkei is down 505 points to 17,258.52 (-2.66%), the China A50 index is down 130.39 points to 8,729.47 (-1.47%) and the S&P ASX 200 is down 102.72 points to 4,890.60 (-2.06%).
According to RBNZ head Wheeler, they are open to cutting interest rates again sometime this year, owing to the fall in commodity prices and external risks. US ADP non-farm employment change data is lined up next, along with the ISM non-manufacturing PMI data.

I feel my readers have been truly deprived lately. A lot of me pissing and moaning about silly shit and not enough sexy. Well friends, I am going to fix that. As a connoisseur of tattoo's and ladies, I would like to welcome you to Foxy Friday! Foxy Fridays: features tattooed females, female artists or women that are sexy, intriguing, and artistic in their own right. Going on the principle that ink and art is sexy and vastly becoming a societal norm, rather than counter culture. These individuals hold both traditional and non-traditional roles in our culture and they need to be celebrated for their overall beauty.
For the inaugural run I bring you a special treat, the luscious Wicked Courtni from Living Wicked:
I live with my plate as full as possible at all times. I am a wife, and a mother of 2 beautiful children. I work, write, blog, and I am a full time student.
I am a self-proclaimed addict. Of ink and piercings. My first trip to Los Angeles at the budding age of 17 and a half, I was on a mission to get my first tattoo. I searched high and low for an artist to pop my ink cherry… but no one would do it. I asked everyone. From Burbank to Venice Beach and all up and down Hollywood Blvd… but was turned away by every single one. Stupid Laws. I had almost given up hope until I found herself at the Slausen Swap Meet. Yes. The one on Crenshaw Blvd. In COMPTON. A very … mean mexican man agreed to tramp-stamp the fuck out of my back. I didn't care that he didn't speak a lick of English, or the fact that he called me a "bendeho" at every flinch and grimace.
I was VICTORIOUS.
From then, I wanted more. Each and every drop of ink on my body means something to me. It tells a story of my life. I do not believe in meaningless tattoos. Ones that fill in space … or connect one piece to another. Filler if you will. I think that if you are going to ink yourself, it needs to have a story attached. Any one of my tattoos I could tell you what it meant to me at that time. WHY it was important then and still IS important now.
Looking at my back, you might not be able to make sense of what it means. The Kanji up my spine is the combination of my name and my husbands. He has the same one on his forearm. Tattoo's have become kind of a bonding between us. He has a love for ink like I do, and I would say that he has inspired me to be more liberal in regard to tattoos.
My back piece is a work in progress. The stars represent my firm belief in fate and that those who pass stay with you… their watchful eyes the stars that shine above us. I think that eventually, each star on my back will represent a person who I love and who I have lost. I have a portrait of Marilyn Monroe on my inner thigh. I plan to have more of her inked on me. We share the same birthday, you know … and from a very young age I felt as if I related to her life. Her story. Her passion. She was who she was, as I am who I am. And it didn't matter what anyone said or thought… she stayed true to what she believed.
I plan on more ink in my future. I am not sure what exactly yet. It will come to me in a wave of inspiration I am sure. It always does. What I am sure of is that the permanence is a part of me. A commitment to who I am. A statement that we can be at whatever place in life that we want to be… and have ink. And show it off. Rock it. Loud and proud.
I am sexier with ink than without it.
Special note: Living Wicked has just written and published her first book entitled Submissive Confessions. Go and check out a 10 page preview and buy the shit out of it!
If you or someone you know would like to be featured on Foxy Friday, please contact JP live and direct at justjpblog (at) gmail (dot) com for more details.

Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer Discussion
Trainer Tools and Resources
All the info I can find is a North American Release date of October 9th?
then no, its not out yet
[Edited by HellFireXS, 10/1/2007 5:12:04 AM]
All the info I can find is a North American Release date of October 9th?
then no, its not out yet
Well if that were true then how is there a Trainer and Cheats for the full game?
In the other hands, CH create a trainer for World in Conflict days before the official release ( NA stores were the first to have it ) 'cause they get a retail version in first hand.
This site does not provide warez or links to warez games but the cheats and trainer must exists for the blockbuster titles.
No one registered in this site has enough pocket to buy every released game in the stores to make trainers and discover cheats.
Be happy for have a trainer and cheats to use with your favourite game.
1) The trainer was made by Unleashed, I believe, and not Cal who makes them for CH, and therefore the release of said trainer would coincide with the warez-web-release and not the street-release dates.
2)Like 90%+ of the cheats from NWN2 works here in NWN2:MotB so that's a no brainer. Also refer early release of cheats to point 1, warez-web-release was like over a week ago or some crap.
that drives the gears to tick and toil,
until at last, it rests, unwound,
and we lay silent in the ground.
* Updated game trainers and cheats daily
* Get notified when new cheats are added
* Request which games get new trainers

Future Market Insights has announced the addition of the "Contactless Payment Market: Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment 2017-2027" report to their offering.
Valley Cottage, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/30/2017 -- Contactless payment is the mode where in secure payment transactions are done using technologies such as bluetooth, infrared, radio frequency identification (RFID), and near field communication (NFC). Contactless payment takes almost one-tenth of the time taken by the traditional electronic transaction making it more hassle-free for the customers. The need to make payment more securely and the convenience to pay fast without having any cash or identity details is making contactless payment mode popular game changer. Initially, contactless cards were used in the form of travelling tickets only; it has evolved and is helping consumers to make payments for almost anything. Contactless payment has an upper limit to amount paid and number of transactions per day.
Contactless Payment Market: Drivers
A number of factors are contributing to the growth of contactless payment systems such as advancement in contactless payment technology, rising awareness of plastic money among the buyers, increasing frequency of purchases and the need for fast transaction time without any inconvenience of standing in long queues. Contactless payment is further evolving, making itself a useful interface between the consumers and retailers, advertiser, and marketers.
Request Report Sample@ http://www.futuremarketinsights.com/reports/sample/rep-gb-3112
Contactless Payment Market: Restraints
The initial installation cost, government limitation to number of contactless payment transactions per day and the amount limitation that can be transacted per day are few shortfalls of contactless payment which are hindering the contactless payment market growth. Risk of spyware, malware and virus attacks due to usage of numerous systems is limiting the adoption of contactless payment globally. Low awareness of this mode of payment, especially across Asia Pacific and Latin America, is further restricting the contactless payment market growth.
Contactless Payment Market: Segmentation
Contactless payment market can be segmented on the basis of type, mode of payment, end user, technology and region. On the basis of type, contactless payment market can be segmented into hardware and software. Hardware can be sub-segmented into smart-cards, point of sale (POS) terminals and smart-card readers. The software segment can be sub-segmented into smartcard reader drivers, POS software, application programing interface (API), software development kit (SDK) and mobile applications. On the basis of mode of payment, contactless payment market can be segmented into smart card, smart wearable, smartphone and others. On the basis of end user, contactless payment market can be segmented into Banking, Financial services and Insurance (BFSI), retail, public sector, transportation and logistics, hospitality, and others. On the basis of technology, contactless payment market can be segmented into infrared based, Bluetooth based, NFC based and RFID based. On the basis of region, contactless payment can be segmented into North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia Pacific excluding Japan, Japan, and Middle East and Africa.
Contactless Payment Market: Regional Outlook
As of 2016, contactless payment system has high penetration in North America. The market in Europe is expected to grow considerably in the near future. Asia Pacific is contributing to the contactless payment market with growing purchasing power of people in the region, and also due to increasing acceptance of this mode of payment.
Visit For TOC@ http://www.futuremarketinsights.com/toc/rep-gb-3112
Contactless Payment Market: Competition Landscape
The key players in the contactless payment market include ACS (Advanced Card Systems) Ltd., Chip & Pin Solutions Ltd., Mifare Pty Limited, Ingenico Inc., Gemalto N.V., Verifone Systems Inc., Heartland Payment Systems Inc., On Track Innovations Ltd., Castles Technology Co. Ltd., and Bindo Labs Inc. These companies are investing in updated technologies to improve the existing system and a few of them are following the strategy of mergers and acquisition to upgrade their payment system. Increasing innovation in the contactless payment mode and initiatives to enhance awareness of contactless payment technology is anticipated to drive the contactless payment market.

(Hey, this is not only my last post of 2011, but also my 270. post! (^.^) )
Because it's something I like about other sew and crafts blog, I decided to make a retrospection about what I've sewn in 2011:
Totally, I made 4 shirts, 2 blouses, 13 skirts (thereof 2 underskirts), 6 dresses (one for my mum), 4 boleros, 2 corsets, 2 jackets, 2 capes, one coat, one pair of bloomers, 5 bags and countless accessoires (such as gaiters, hairbows etc).
Over all, I think there's quite a wide range of variety, I tried a lot of things, although no pair of trousers. My Lolita wardrobe grew a lot (only look at the number of skirts!).
Highlights were definitely the Steampunk Lolita outfit, my graduation ceremony dress and my favourite black jumperskirt.
I think I really improved my sewing skills during this year, my work became a lot more fitting and particulary more neatly, also thanks to some extremely helpful gadgets, like the ruffle foot or the overlock sewing machine.
How was your 2011?
I wish you a sparkling, glamorous party and a good start into the new year - let's rock it!

After a difficult battle with the traitorous Herald, Kaufra, and his undead former brothers and sisters, you have cleansed the temple. The sole remaining Herald, Hemekef, has begun the task of restoring the temple in preparation for the New Morning, with the help of Lieth, a paladin of Lathander who has answered the call to protect the temple from further attacks.
You have given the antidote to the boy, Devek, and he has awoken. He will recover physically, but he may never recover emotionally/psychologically from the loss of his family. Hemekef has offered to take the boy in, as he will need help restoring the temple, and can perhaps aid in the boy's emotional/psychological healing. Devek is willing, and is eager for the chance to learn from Hemekef and Lieth how to defend himself so that he can prevent what happened to his family from happening to others.
When word reaches Havehollow of Crimson's death, the village holds a proper wake to celebrate his life. Meanwhile, word reaches you that the Baron wishes to meet the group of adventurers that has been helping the good people of his domain. He has sent an official invitation to visit him at Northpoint Castle, which lies about a day's travel north along the road that Havehollow is on.
Hemekef says that the party is welcome to stay and rest, and says that, after a few days to fully recover from the sleeping draught, he will be able to remove the curses he senses several of you are afflicted by. He suggests that, in the meantime, you all might make your visit to the Baron (and composes a letter which he asks you to deliver). He notes that the castle has several merchants and outfitters based there. He asks Payorel to remain at the temple during this time, however, to learn more about the New Morning prophesy and Payorel's possible place in it.
After examining the sanctuary, searching Kaufra's belongings, and time in prayer to Lathander, Hemekef is also able to piece together what happened while he was sleeping, and shares this with you: Apparently, Kaufra was secretly a servant of Baphomet, who was sent to infiltrate the New Morning temple and sabotage their efforts. He was able to deceive the Heirophant (leader of the order) enough to be allowed to stay in spite of questionable behavior (Hemekef notes that Kaufra was the one usually tasked with retrieving water from the well until the quake and incident with Kuo-Toa attempting to come up from it…). Kaufra only pretended to take the sleeping draught, and once his brothers and sisters were asleep, he slew all but the Heirophant and his assistant (Hemekef), who were locked in their rooms protected by traps. Once he had set up his profane altar and raised the Heralds as zombies, he used one to get into the Heirophant's room. He killed the Heirophant and must have taken his robes, because Kafra was dressed in them when you encountered him. He must have also then run afoul of the spike trap on the stairs leading to the top floor (as evidenced by the punctures in the robes and his body), and died there. The dark forces he served, in their cruelty, raised him in an undead form and forced him to stay to prevent the temple from being re-consecrated to its original purpose. It was due to Kaufra's oversight and demise on the trap that Hemekef was spared.
