Similarly to the 333-day prophecy, there are occasions when the future speaks to us. Often it speaks in muted tones, flashes of imagery, and occasionally a correspondence lost for many years. This thread is for triads or events within a triad which have not yet come to be but have been indicated (that is, experienced as paranormal activity) in a sufficiently convincing manner to document here. This is not to say that the authors below "wish" for a certain triad or think a certain triad would be "appropriate", rather they feel a need to share their glimpses and seek others to validate or repudiate them. It takes courage to post and this courage must be recognized by all readers.

Courtesy Notice Invoice Diagram
Courtesy Notice FAQThis document answers the most frequently asked questionsaddressed to foropaq@gmail – concerning the Courtesy Notice that points to
The Declaration of Facts
UCC filed by the One People Public Trust OPPT
Reference Links at bottom of document
What is the OPPT – I'm new to this?
In brief: The One People's Public Trust put it to the world's banks and Corporate Governments that nothing stood between theCreator and each of the Creators creations, and gave due opportunity to rebut that statement.
They could not and did not. To do so would have admitted that they operated slavery systems. Default notice was filed, The worlds banks were foreclosed and all cooperate government charters were cancelled. Slavery systems were abolished. See Declaration of Facts at http:// www.peoplestrust1776.org/ UCC Filings 2-012 pt II. Please read all 12 pages of this most important document.
The freeman and straw-men movements were made redundant, most web and blog sites dealing with those topics rendered historical and of no further value.Most banks and alleged government have not got the memo yet and so continue their fraudulent operations. Currently we are passing through a transition period unlike anything in world history.Please study all the information in the links at the bottom of this document until you grasp the fullness of OPPT and use of Courtesy Notices. See also …. I have grave concerns about OPPT later in this document.
What is a Courtesy Notice? – I'm new to this?
A Courtesy Notice (CN) is an offer to contract, sent by you to an individual in a bank or government. It is sent in response to a letter of demand, a threat of action, a summons, or other unlawful demand, detention or arrest – some tangible thing that is causing you harm.
The Courtesy Notice first alerts that person to the foreclosure of their bank or government, resulting from filings by the OPPT.
Secondly it informs that person that they act in full personal liability henceforth.
Third, it offers that individual a choice; to do nothing, or to continue the action as though nothing had changed. Please understand that this choice is not offered to the foreclosed bank of government, but solely to the individual who still believes that entity (his/her employer) has the authority to continue the harmful action against you.
That individual is named as "the Respondent" on the CN, which is addressed by that individuals name c/- of the [alleged]Corporate Name, [alleged] Bank or [alleged] Company You are identified as the "Proponent"The Courtesy Notice IS NOT A NOTICE OF DEMAND. To do so would be the equivalent of YOU operating a "slavery System" -which is exactly what the courtesy notice exposes as "foreclosed"The CN does "order" that the action against you (by the entity) be CEASED AND DESISTED, but also offers terms and conditions that will apply if the action is continued by the Respondent (individual)Accordingly the CN is an offer of contract – based on your terms and conditions. The respondent may choose to accept or decline.

No, I don't mean spinning, as in spinning wool or alpaca. I mean spinning fast.
How did we begin such a flurry with four weeks left of summer?! Seriously, the last two weeks have defied rational explanation. Now I KNOW that summer has not really ended... but how, then, did our days get so very filled with paperwork and appointments? No pool, or beach, or even play dates for the kids. The lazy summer schedule of fun in the sun has eluded us poor souls.
Now, as fate would have it, our household has gotten a nasty bug. My son Mark has a 101 temp and I am dragging myself with the same thing. Two of my three other daughters are showing signs as well. Here we go...
PS I would very much like to learn to spin, as in wool or alpaca.

Anxiety and stress are both natural emotional responses to situations that may present a danger but some people experience elevated levels of anxiety that are not appropriate to the situation they find themselves in. For those people anxiety can become a problem and can in fact stop them from doing the things they want to do.
As many people know, when stress overwhelms your nervous system your brain will respond by flooding your body with chemicals that prepare you for "fight or flight." While the stress response can be lifesaving in emergency situations where you need to act quickly, it wears your body down when constantly activated. Often these responses have come about as the result of a situation that has occurred in the past or the anticipation of a situation that may arise.
Not many people can completely avoid all stress or anxiety, but you can counteract it and learn ways to manage it.
Hypnotherapy is particularly effective for people who become anxious or stressed and there are a number of different approaches to help with these situations.
If anxiety or stress is affecting your life and you want to change that then I can work with you to develop strategies to overcome this and to enable you to take back control and to break free from the old patterns allowing you to move forward in a positive way.

Some people, including Mark Brandon of legal PR agency Overture London, express the need for firms to pack their social media (and tech) strategies with innovation and redefine the parameters of its place within the sector. Not only can effective use of these online channels result in promotion of your firm as a thought leader, but can also be a highly successful networking tool, both personally and in business.
So, what are the top three things a firm should aim to achieve with a social media strategy?
Admittedly, there are pitfalls with this type of marketing. An organisation must rely on its employees, or brand ambassadors, to uphold company values and make time in their already busy schedules to blog/tweet etc. There are also times when social media usage by firms may be a bit misguided or counterintuitive. One such case is of a firm who recently, whilst some victims of the rollercoaster crash at the Alton Towers theme park in the UK were still awaiting rescue, tweeted:
Been injured in a roller coaster crash?! We're experts in Personal Injury!! #Smiler #AltonTowers
So, what's your opinion on social media in the legal sector?

From the adventurous Berlin race to the "the world's most beautiful" Two Oceans Marathon in Cape Town, add these 10 international races to your bucket list
The Best International Marathons
1 of 11All photos
"Run a marathon" is a pretty popular bucket list item. But so many of us who mentally (or literally!) jot it on our lists, don't get into the specifics, like which marathon we hope to run before we die. But if you're going to run that far, shouldn't you do it somewhere awesome? (Check out 7 Travel Destinations That Answer the Call of the Wild.) Sign up for an international marathon and you'll not only feel compelled to hit the pavement on the reg, but you'll also have a seriously great vacation to look forward to. Here, 10 expert-recommended picks to help you flesh out your 26.2-mile goal!

London Marathon
2 of 11All photos
The London Marathon is one of six World Marathon Majors, a series of the largest, most renowned marathons in the world. "This is a spectacular marathon where the spectators make for a grand experience," says running coach Jenny Hadfield, author of Marathoning For Mortals. The 26.2 end at Buckingham Palace—maybe you'll get a glimpse of Will and Kate! (If not, you could always try one of these 7 Sporty Date Ideas Inspired by Will and Kate.)

Athens Marathon
3 of 11All photos
The Athens Marathon is the race that started it all; following the original route that Pheidippides ran from Marathon to Athens to deliver news of the Athenian victory at the Battle of Marathon. "I think it's a great way to appreciate and experience the idea and inspiration behind the marathon," says Francis Diano, running coach and NYSportsMed's running director. Plus, well, it's in Greece.

Berlin Marathon
4 of 11All photos
Another of the six Majors, the Berlin Marathon is one of the fastest marathon courses on record (flat course + trusty tailwind = speedy times!), says Diano. If you're chasing a BQ (Boston Qualifier) time or looking to PR, this may be the ticket. (Find out Why the Boston Marathon Is Such a Big Deal.)

Dublin Marathon
5 of 11All photos
"This is a fun destination and a beautifully scenic run," says Hadfield. Plus, the Dublin Marathon is relatively flat, so it's another good race for those looking to score a PR. You'll finish in the center of the city, so head to the Guinness factory post-run to pull your own celebratory brew!
Photo: Corbis Images
Paris Marathon
6 of 11All photos
"Um, it's Paris in April—what is better than that?" says Hadfield. The Paris Marathon race of nearly 50,000 runners starts at the Arc de Triomphe and weaves past iconic landmarks like the Bastille and, of course, the Eiffel Tower.
Photo: Paris Marathon
Two Oceans Marathon
7 of 11All photos
"This one is on my bucket list. It's billed as the 'World's Most Beautiful Marathon'," says Hadfield. It's a bit misleading though: The Two Oceans Marathon in Cape Town, South Africa is actually not a 26.2 mile marathon, but instead a series of races of various distances including an ultra marathon and a half marathon. Regardless of the distance you choose, it's worth the trip. It happens over Easter weekend, so there's plenty of pre- and post-race celebratory activities to enjoy.
Photo: Corbis Images
Great Wall Marathon
8 of 11All photos
Yup, the Great Wall Marathon in Taijin, China is actually on the Great Wall of China! "This is not your typical marathon; peppered with uneven surfaces and rapid ascents and descents, it's a great way to challenge you're muscles and cardiovascular endurance past the typical stress of a "normal" Marathon," says Diano. In fact, it's considered one of the world's most challenging. But at least you get a great view of China's countryside while you suffer!
Photo: Corbis Images
Tokyo Marathon
9 of 11All photos
The Tokyo Marathon is the third and final international marathon amongst the majors (the other three are stateside: Boston, New York, and Chicago). "Take advantage of the known organizational and logistical skills of the Japanese; it's a flat and slightly chilly race (takes place in February), but a great way to explore the jungle of Tokyo," says Diano, noting that this race is also known for having great post-race entertainment and food (post-race sushi and sake anyone?).
Photo: Corbis Images
Antarctica Marathon
10 of 11All photos
If you want to run a marathon on all seven continents (a common goal amongst marathoners!), this is, of course, a must-run. "It's a challenging marathon, and the expedition of a lifetime," says Hadfield. You'll take a Zodiac ride to the starting line and see glaciers, icebergs, seals, penguins, and whales along the route. But sign up now if this one appeals: The race is sold out through 2017!

Inca Trail Marathon to Machu Pichu
11 of 11All photos
Marathoners talk about how the crowd "gets you through" tough parts of the marathon. Not the Inca Trail Marathon to Machu Pichu. "This (literal) trail run is not flocked by spectators or cheerers," says Diano. In fact, its not really a typical marathon at all. There is a set season for it and you can run as long as you have a permit during that time. Diano advises that you go with a tour group as they organize everything for you so you can just show up ready to run! One big perk: you skip the stress of pounding the pavement in favor of nature's natural surface, he says. You'll climb 10,400 feet in elevation and descend 11,000.

Toyota, no innovation wallflower, has come up with a safety feature that's sure to reduce whiplash injuries and maybe even save a few lives. It's called the Rear Pre-Crash Safety System. A radar system, installed in the rear bumper, comes into play within a millimeter of the car behind when it's within two seconds of rear-ending you. It sets off your warning lights, tightens your seatbelts, and activates the pictured headrest, moving it forward to prevent your head from snapping back after collision. Toyota received an R&D safety award for this device, which is installed in the 2008 Lexus LS. Let's spread the wealth of safety.Man, I'm not sure I want this technology in my car. It would be engaging all the time. And, yes, I do go at least 120 KPH on the 311.

one millimeter... two seconds... How can there be two seconds when a car is one millimeter away?

Yes, that doesn't tally up.
At a travelling speed of 140km/h you cover in 2 seconds a distance of 77.78 metres, i.e. by Dubai standards the space occupied by 10 white Landcruisers on the 311.
This safety feature would never disengage whilst you live in Dubai!

That's right Nick, it doesn't tally up. However, to calculate the active engaging distance for this feature (within the two seconds span) you have to deduct your own speed. In other words, if a car is approaching you with a speed of 140 kph, and your speed is 130 kph, then the actual approaching speed is 10 kph. Two seconds will cover 5.5 meters.
But still, it doesn't make a lot of sense, and it is going to be engaging all the time, even with span as limited as 5.5 meters!

Best Weekend
How To Have the Best Weekend Ever: 'Wild,' Mary J. Blige, Molly Ringwald, + More
What we'll be listening to, watching, and reading to sate our pop culture needs.
We're Wild for this weekend's picks—a bit of pop culture comfort following two weeks of bad news.
Ever since we finished reading Cheryl Strayed's powerful page-turner of a memoir about the death of her mother and her life-changing hike on the Pacific Coast Trail, we've been chomping at the bit to see it on the silver screen. Okay, so we didn't imagine America's sweetheart Reese Witherspoon (who also produced Wild) in the lead role, but she kills it, bringing to life the pain and regret and triumph of the real world Cheryl, who co-wrote the script (with Nick Hornby). After this week, we need a tale of hard-won victory.
Yes, Wishin' and Hopin' is a Lifetime movie based on a Wally Lamb book, which could be considered two strikes against it, but the film features Molly Ringwald and we'll happily watch anything starring this redhead hall-of-famer. In it she plays Madame Frenchette, a substitute teacher who breathes some life into a 1960s fifth-grade class via a Christmas pageant she helps them prepare for. Plus: SNL alum Cheri Oteri plays a nun at the parochial school, so it has to be funny.
Even a queen needs help sometimes, and on The London Sessions, R&B royalty Mary J. Blige gets it from up-and-coming songwriters and producers like Sam Smith and Naughty Boy. The collection mixes ballads and bangers, all dripping with the soul that only Blige's vocals can bring.
"I just want to meet a guy I like as much as you, is that too much to ask?" Gillian Jacobs's character Paige says to her lesbian BFF Sasha early on in this female friendship–centered indie. Of course, then she does—a dermatologist played by Adam Brody at his cutest/nerdiest—and the intimate plutonic relationship the women share is thrown out of balance as they grow up and away from one another. The details of their splintering relationship ring painfully true in Life Partners, and co-writers Susanna Fogel and Joni Lefkowitz, real-life besties, obviously had some experiences to draw from. A brief appearance by SNL–wonder woman Kate McKinnon, as one of Paige's bad dates, is a terrific bonus.
Though this book, about the farcical nature of our "post-racial" society, came out nearly three years ago, it's time to pick it back up, and for those of us who haven't read it, pore over this brilliant book for the first time. In The New Jim Crow civil rights litigator Michelle Alexander explains how America's caste system didn't end with slavery, it's just taken a new form with the help of our Prison Industrial Complex and its target of Black men. This is necessary reading for right now.
This year marks Yo La Tengo's 30-year anniversary and Painful is a perfect way to celebrate. The trio—Ira Kaplan, Georgia Hubley, and James McNew—create the music indie rock dreams are made of and this album hits all their high notes. Lush compositions, ethereal vocals, and just the right amount of reverb on these 11 tracks will make you hope YLT is around for another three decades.

The latest addition to Saadiyat Island will eventually act as the connective tissue between the institutions that will define the heart of the Saadiyat Island Cultural District: Louvre Abu Dhabi, Guggenheim Abu Dhabi and the Zayed National Museum.
For the sake of clarity and for the reader, journalists are often encouraged to make comparisons when it comes to explaining complex facts and figures.
If an object measures 300 metres, for example, it's as tall as the Eiffel Tower. If it weighs six tonnes, then it's as heavy as an African elephant.
Things become rather more complex, however, when you're trying to visualise 200,000 cubic metres. That's the amount of rock and sand that's been excavated to create the "almost tunnel" that now snakes, canyon-like, past Louvre Abu Dhabi.
Twelve metres wide, six metres deep and 1.2 kilometres long, the tunnel will only be 200 metres shorter than the nearby Sheikh Khalifa Bridge, which links Saadiyat Island to the city, and half as long as Abu Dhabi's record-breaking Sheikh Zayed Tunnel.
Jassim Al Hammadi, the director of buildings and infrastructure at the Tourism Development & Investment Company (TDIC), Saadiyat Island's master developer, explains the tunnel's purpose. "Unseen to the museums' future visitors, the tunnel is going to be the entry way for all that is going to be on display at the three museums."
It will also allow deliveries to each of the new museums to take place in a secure and private environment – a key consideration when external temperatures can top 40°C and when priceless pieces by the likes of Picasso, Manet and Gauguin are the likely consignment.
The design and location of the new museums is another factor that has made the tunnel a necessity. All three have been designed to be viewed in the round, a decision that leaves little room for back-of-house operations to take place at ground level. It's a situation that's exacerbated by the fact that both Louvre Abu Dhabi and the Guggenheim occupy island sites and are surrounded by water.
"The tunnel is one of the most important parts of the Cultural District jigsaw," explains Lee Kandalaft, the engineer charged with overseeing the tunnel's delivery. Kandalaft is the project's deputy director of infrastructure delivery. "It will be private, so there won't be any public traffic travelling through it, and it will have two lanes, one for traffic and the other for use in case of breakdowns. There will never be a traffic jam in the tunnel."
The tunnel will also provide separate entrances and exits for each of the museums, meaning that traffic will always flow through it in one direction, like blood through a vein.
Kandalaft is responsible for making sure that Saadiyat receives all of the critical infrastructure that it needs – the roads, bridges, water, sewage, district cooling and electricity – to enable the museums to be built on time, to budget and for the whole island to function once construction has finally finished. Louvre Abu Dhabi is scheduled for completion in December 2015.
"I am the client's representative," the engineer explains, "but I work as a team with the design consultant, the project management consultant and the contractor.
"I have a role to make sure the contractor is getting everything he needs to allow him to get the job finished on time. To complete a job of this magnitude, you have to work as a team."
Luckily, Kandalaft has more than 35 years of experience to draw on when it comes to infrastructure, tunnels and islands. Before joining TDIC, the 56-year-old worked for Aldar on Yas Island, where he was responsible for delivering the infrastructure and another tunnel in time for the inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, which took place in 2009.

Scherzer K's 14 before 'pen closes out LA
LOS ANGELES -- Max Scherzer did to the Dodgers on Tuesday night what the Dodgers usually watch Clayton Kershaw do to opponents, striking out 14 in seven innings while outdueling Brandon McCarthy as the Nationals edged Los Angeles, 2-1, at Dodger Stadium.
"We saw Max doing Max things," said McCarthy.View Full Game Coverage
LOS ANGELES -- Max Scherzer did to the Dodgers on Tuesday night what the Dodgers usually watch Clayton Kershaw do to opponents, striking out 14 in seven innings while outdueling Brandon McCarthy as the Nationals edged Los Angeles, 2-1, at Dodger Stadium.
"We saw Max doing Max things," said McCarthy.View Full Game Coverage
Washington's bullpen, which had blown nine of its 27 previous save opportunities, locked this one down, with Oliver Perez striking out two in a perfect eighth inning and Koda Glover pitching the ninth for his eighth save, which leads MLB rookies. The final pitch was a strikeout of Yasiel Puig, who exchanged words with Glover and catcher Matt Wieters as the benches briefly cleared, but only words were exchanged.
Video: WSH@LAD: Glover fans Puig for save as tensions rise
"Tempers flare a little bit," Glover said. "It is what it is. I don't have any hard feelings towards him. He was staring at me and I didn't like it."
Scherzer (7-3) has fanned 13, 11 and 14 in his last three starts, giving him double digits in strikeouts six times this year and 55 times in his career, one more than Kershaw for the most among active pitchers.
• Max's wipeout slider key en route to 14 K's
"Obviously, he's on a nice run right now," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "And when he's against us, he's going to bring his best and he did tonight. This guy can [get a strike on] any pitch that he throws, getting ahead of guys, and when he gets ahead, he can wipe you out. It was tough sledding tonight."
McCarthy (5-3), coming off a start cut short at four innings because of a finger blister, lasted seven innings and matched Scherzer by allowing only three hits. Nationals speedy leadoff hitter Trea Turner manufactured a first-inning run off McCarthy with a chopped infield single and two stolen bases before scoring on Bryce Harper's sacrifice fly. McCarthy blamed his mental errors for the first run.

"Forgetting Trea Turner was on first and second, and he's going to steal at will, and not doing all I should do to hold him," McCarthy said. "Good chance he's going to go anyway, but I've got to do all I can to increase the odds in our favor and I didn't do any of those. You have to vary the looks. The one at second I didn't vary the look, just handed it to him, should have told him to just go to third."
In the bottom of the inning, the Dodgers converted an error by second baseman Daniel Murphy into a run off Scherzer when Adrian Gonzalez singled home Chase Utley.

But Washington scored the decisive run in the fourth. Harper led off with a double down the right-field line that landed just fair and he scored on another sacrifice fly, this one by Murphy.

Biggest escape act: Two walks by Scherzer, his errant pickoff attempt and a passed ball by Wieters on a called strikeout of Cody Bellinger created a bases-loaded jam with two outs in the bottom of the third inning, but Scherzer wiggled free by striking out Chris Taylor for the second time with a nasty slider.
Video: WSH@LAD: Scherzer ends the threat with a strikeout
Next biggest escape act: Nearly as impressive as the third inning for Scherzer was the first. After Gonzalez's one-out RBI single, Scherzer struck out Bellinger and Taylor to leave two of the seven runners the Dodgers stranded in the game. Scherzer fanned Bellinger and Yasmani Grandal three times each, as Los Angeles struck out a season-high 17 times.
• Dodgers trying to fight through offensive slump
"Disgusting." -- Bellinger, describing Scherzer

"With the mighty Kershaw going tomorrow, it's going to be a great game tomorrow. … I might be wrong, but I don't anticipate too many runs -- it's going to be a low-scoring game. It's going to be a great series finale tomorrow." -- Nationals manager Dusty Baker on the series finale that will feature a matchup of Stephen Strasburg vs. Kershaw
Nationals: Washington concludes its West Coast road trip with Strasburg taking the ball at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday. Strasburg is 7-1 this season and the Nationals are 9-2 when he starts. First pitch is slated for 3:10 p.m. ET.
Dodgers: The last time Kershaw faced the Nationals he was a reliever, nailing down his first career save in the 2016 National League Division Series clincher. On Wednesday at 12:10 p.m. PT, he duels Strasburg for the first time. As a starter, Kershaw is 10-2 with a 2.02 ERA against Washington in the regular season.

On the way for the surprise
Originally uploaded by Michael_L.
His birthday is coming up this weekend and we're not going to have an opportunity to spend a lot of time together so I thought that I would surprise him.
He works downtown and I work near home so we never get to see each other during the day for lunch or things of that nature....so I checked around and found out that The Chicago Symphony Orchestra was practicing this afternoon, so I scheduled a day off from work.
I got in touch with one of his co-workers and worked on a plan to get him out of the office for lunch! So I made a nice lunch of Turkey, Roast Beef and Provolone Sandwiches, an Orzo Salad with Feta some chips and Strawberry Shortcake for dessert.
I told The Boyfriend this morning that "I'm not feeling well, so I stayed home from work." He felt bad for me because of it (and I felt bad for fibbing to him, but it needed to be done.)
On the way I stopped at this nice florist on the way and picked him up a beautiful boquet of orchids and roses....I called my friend to let her know that I was on schedule and that I'd meet them at the arranged place.
When he walked out of his office building he saw me across the street and said "What are you doing here? I thought you were sick?" Finally my plan had worked.
At this point his co-worker was planning on going her way and I said "Oh no, you're going with us." So the three of us went over to Millennium Park, sat in the sun, ate our lunch and enjoyed listening to the CSO practice. (Even their practice was beautiful).
So Happy Birthday Boyfriend! I love you and I'm so happy you're a part of my life!

The day of reckoning is near as the closed alpha rituals for Psyonix's asymmetrical combat title, Nosgoth have been completed. Having wrapped up the closed alpha, Nosgoth is now preparing for the next phase of its transformation, the move to closed beta and the introduction of fresh meat.
Starting tomorrow, February 27th, developer Psyonix will begin inviting more players to taste victory or suffer horrific defeat as Nosgoth opens its doors to additional testing. During closed beta, Psyonix has planned on adding four new characters (two for each side) along with new maps, weapons, abilities and skins. New gameplay modes are also being added, including the new siege mode which Psyonix will debut alongside the closed beta launch.
According to Psyonix's blog post which details the new mode, Siege presents human players with the objective of capturing important strategic locations within the map. These locations must be held for a short time in order to receive points which contribute to their overall score. Conversely, the vampires objectives are quite simple, kill all humans. Since kills are not the main focus for the human side, players will need to work together to defend the points and close any gaps which leave them susceptible to enemy's vicious assaults. Like this one:
Finally, as a small reminder that Nosgoth is indeed still a part of the Legacy of Kain universe, Psyonix is working with Daniel Cabuco, former art lead on Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver in order to create classic LoC skins for the game's vampire characters. Interested players can signup for the closed beta on the official Nosgoth site here.

Have you guys not heard of an NDA which you agreed to when signing up for closed beta.
Was there one? lol. Hell if I remember when I signed up for it MONTHS ago.
Game is amazing. Its rather balanced to be honest, but alot of it does come down to good team work. Stay together live together, go alone die alone. Game does require some basic intelligence to play. You can't go rambo like you could on other games, you'll have a pitiful death. I enjoy killing stragglers as a vampire.
Ahh i wish i could try it.
If you don't have a proper team set up for this you get destroyed. Vamps are very op.
Vamps have great solo strength but get decimated if a human team works together, Humans are devastating as a coordinated team but die horribly as a solo. Seems a symptom of each side and not OP on either one, just complimenting strengths and weaknesses. Proper teams are pretty much a needed given although rare.
i made into the closed beta what what
i signed to the beta like in 2012 and i still didn't recived the key only i recive is sales
so i wrote to them why i didn't got key the dev Banned me from the comuinty for just ask quastion
Hey there, that really shouldn't have happened. What was your forum ID? I can investigate for you and get you back in.
Just FYI, we opened up the beta registrations last September, but I get that 2012 was just a typo 🙂
Probably was a typo but that action was kinda uncalled for lol…
i signed last month still invited 😮
I got an email for it. lol. I just gotta be able to log onto my SE account so I can do all the junk I gotta do but I haven't been able to so I had to put in a stupid ticket because it kept saying an account matching my email doesn't exist when it freaking does lol. So waiting to hear back on that. I hope to be able to get on tomorrow when it starts lol. Fingers crossed.
Update: In the end I was able to log in through the European portal, wtf lol. Good to go now lol.

This past weekend was a pretty big weekend in Maryland. The 139th running of the Preakness Stakes took place on Saturday and while the hubs and I elected to skip this year's Infield fest we still managed to have a great Preakness weekend.
For me that meant waking up at 5am on Saturday morning in order to down a granola bar and head over to watch the Preakness Celebration Balloon Festival at Turf Valley Resort. The festival was supposed to have a mass balloon launch at 6:30am and a special presentation for armed service personnel at 6:15am. However, the winds conditions were not ideal and given everyone's concerns with hot air balloons the executive decision was made to inflate the balloons Saturday morning, but not let them get off the ground.
I was a bit bummed to miss seeing the balloons soaring in the air, besides the tethered balloon that was rising low in the sky for short flights, but in the interest of safety I completely understand and I hope to catch the balloons in all their soaring action next year.
This was the most time I've ever spent around hot air balloons and I must say I was incredibly impressed with their beauty and pageantry. And even more in awe of the work it took just to unload these gentle giants and get them inflated.
Have you ever taken a hot air balloon ride? My fear of flying probably wouldn't go over well in one of those balloons so for now I'm going to keep my feet on the ground and just admire them from that position.

Head baseball coach accepts big league position— November 8, 2016
By Teresa Flores
Special Sports Correspondent
Every young baseball player dreams of becoming a part of a Major League Baseball organization. Northeast's Head Baseball Coach Austin Knight will now have the opportunity to do just that.
The Eagles' coach has been offered and accepted a position within the MLB's Seattle Mariners organization. His resignation will take effect immediately and will be joining a minor league team through the Mariners ball club.
The chance of a lifetime came about from a work connection Knight made with the Mariners' Director of Player Development Andy McKay. Knight said he played and coached for McKay in the past and considered him as a great friend and someone that he trusts.
"When he [McKay] called me the first time, it was a little surreal. I felt like a five-year-old in t-ball again dreaming that you would wear a professional jersey one day," Knight said. "He pursued me and thinks that professional baseball would be a place that I would enjoy and thrive in. So it was an opportunity that I couldn't pass up."
Knight said he would not think a professional ball job would be an option for him. "I never thought about having this chance," he said. "I wasn't good enough to play professional baseball, and I immediately got into coaching and assumed that I would coach college or high school ball for the rest of my life."
Knight described his departure from Northeast as bittersweet. "It's hard to leave because of how much I love this place, how much I have grown to love the people here and how close I have become with our team," he said. "I thought a lot about it, prayed and sought wise council. Because it is going to be such a great opportunity and good fit, I'm very excited about what's to come."
Josh Stewart, Northeast vice president of student and outreach services and former Northeast baseball coach, said despite the short time that Knight has spent on campus he became an integral part of the community. "We are disappointed to see Austin go because he is a great member of our Eagle family and a great man, but we are happy for him to have been a part of Northeast. We will miss him, but we are excited about the future too," he said.
With only a few more weeks left in the fall semester, Stewart said the coaching position will be opened to applicants and filled as soon as possible. "It's going to be a quick turnaround, but it will be an official standard college process on a new hire and we will be beginning that process very soon."
Knight said that he is hopeful about the future of the baseball program. "I am extremely confident that Stewart will bring in someone who will continue the tradition and move us in the right direction and beyond that," he said.
Knight came to Northeast in Fall 2014 and served as the assistant coach where he helped lead the team, under Stewart's leadership, to a playoff appearance the following semester.
He inherited the team early on in the 2016 spring semester after Stewart transitioned into his vice president role on campus.
Along with his coaching responsibilities, Knight also took an interest in his players' lives off the field by offering spiritual guidance through Bible study and helping establish the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) on campus.
The Eagles' pitcher Julio Guaba, a recruit from the Dominican Republic, said Knight has made a great impact on his life both on and off the field. "He believed and had faith in me being able to accomplish my academic goals while studying in the United States," the pitcher said.
Being an international student, Guaba said there is a language barrier within the classroom that Coach Knight motivated him to overcome. "Before Coach left, I made sure to thank him for giving me the opportunity to play here [on a scholarship]," he said. "I also promised him to learn more English and bring my grades up in order to get more field play during the season."
Guaba expressed that the relationship the team formed with Knight in such a short time was important to their progress on the field. "Coach Knight was a livelihood to the team, and we felt great having him as our coach," he said.
Knight's connections at Northeast were with more than just his players. Stewart said he had formed a great relationship with the coach. "He's like my little brother. He's a great man, and he's been like that everywhere he's been whether Texas A&M or Dallas Baptist," Stewart said. "He has got an infectious personality, and he has that impact wherever he is. It is hard losing him, but we wish him well."
Knight said this new opportunity would not have been possible without Stewart's mentorship. "Two and a half years ago, I began to realize how difficult it is to get as an exceptional job as this one. I would've never had this chance come up if it were not for Stewart," he said. "I saw how much trust he put in me to make me the head coach last year when he transitioned into his vice president role on campus and that means the world to me."
Knight said his gratitude for Stewart and his mentorship was part of why choosing to leave Northeast was difficult. "It is a big part of why the decision was tough for me. I really hope that Stewart knows how much I appreciate him and the Northeast family."
As for his time here as part of the campus community, Knight had nothing but positive thoughts to share. "I feel like I fell into a big blessing, and I did not deserve it. I got to be a small part of a rich history, not only with the school itself, but with the baseball program," he said. "I will always have wonderful memories of the last two and a half years at Northeast."

Dan Scott: FSU vs Clemson Prediction
|2005-11-11 17:38:23.0- -
There's nothing worse than a 10-year old with an attitude.
Such is life around my house now. Rebekah, my youngest daughter, made her prognosticating debut last week in place of her befuddled father, and was only brilliant. Given all the factors involved in the matchup with Duke, combined with her vast football knowledge, Becky picked Clemson to win by a 28-point margin.
The Tigers won by 29.
Needless to say, the child has been insufferable ever since.
However, I'm willing to put up with it because A) Her pick made people forget my mistakes; and B) No one dares badmouth a 10-year old girl, especially one with her dimples.
Call me what you wish, but I feel no shame in using the munchkin to deflect criticism. She wants the spotlight, she has to pay the piper like everyone else.
So to that end, it's time for Becky's pick on the Florida State game this weekend at Death Valley. And just for the record, the little diva didn't grant me the interview this week. She just made her pick and, in one quick flip of her hand, waved me aside.
Anyway, after filling her in on everything I thought her small brain could comprehend surrounding this game - history of the series, current trends, stats, color of the uniforms - she carefully considered the situation for a moment and then asked me one simple, yet telling, question.
"Can I ride the Indian guy's horse?"
Informed that no, the visiting Chief might not take to kindly to having his horse rustled by a 10-year old, Becky frowned and rolled her eyes.
"Then Clemson wins by a touchdown and a field goal," she said, walking away to tend to something more worthy of her time.
All I could do is shake my head and think (to myself, of course).
Just like her mother.
So there you have it. I stay retired another week and the kid tries to improve to 2-0.
We shall see if she gets a Week Three.
Becky sez Clemson by 10.

Hello readers! It's been a while since the last update. I posted an author's note and it got a great number of responses. I'm so glad that I have so many people here to support me. It absolutely fills me with joy. I could never ask for better readers. You all are by far the best fans ever. :) I'm excited for you all to read this chapter. I hope you love it.
Since it has been a while since the last update, I'll do a recap in case anyone forgot what happened.
RECAP: The boys all found out about Ariella's pregnancy and they were all happy for "Nariella". Next, Ariella had to tell her step mother Anne about the pregnancy and she was very nervous. Christian and Gemma were at Anne's house, which added even more pressure. Niall felt very sick and threw up in Anne's flowers and then continued to throw up in the bathroom. After that, Ariella told Anne about the pregnancy and she was very supportive.

Chapter Thirty-Three
Ariella's POV
Nausea set in once I looked at the calendar. Tomorrow was my first doctor's appointment and on a scale from one to ten, I was at a level one hundred when it came to being nervous. I squeezed Niall's hand and he yelped in pain. I frowned at him and he just gave me a sympathetic look.
Niall led me to the car and I realized after a few minutes that I had no idea where we were going. I looked at Niall with a curious gaze, who was focused on the road. He swerved suddenly and my body shifted to the left. My head bumped against the window. I glared at my husband who only smiled cheekily after he saw what happened.
"Did you do that on purpose?" I asked.
"No, I almost missed the road," He answered.
"Then why are you smiling?" I questioned further.
"Because it was funny," Niall said.
I rolled my eyes and stayed silent for the rest of the drive. It was four o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at an Italian restaurant called Mario's.
"I'm not complaining, but why are we eating at a random Italian restaurant at four o'clock?" I asked him.
"I just thought we would do something spontaneous," Niall answered.
"Niall, this isn't spontaneous. I can see that you printed out directions from Google right here," I said as I held up the papers that were between our seats. Niall stuck his tongue out at me and snatched the papers from my hands.
"I was trying to do something nice for you. I am allowed to do that, right?" He asked sarcastically.
"I was just wondering why…"
"There doesn't have to be a reason all the time, Ariella. I just want to do cute things for you without you expecting them," Niall told me.
I smiled and pinched his cheek. "I love you."
"I love you more," was always his response.
We walked in the restaurant hand-in-hand. A server saw us and asked for the name.
"We have reservations under Horan," Niall answered.
"Right this way, sir and ma'am," the Italian man ushered us to a booth near the back.

The Ranger is one of the most diverse classes to play in Guild Wars. No other profession says "Jack of All Trades" like the ranger. With a few attribute and skill changes the ranger can move from a ranged damage dealer, to a pet master, morph into a disruption dealer, or set nasty little traps around the field of battle. While the ranger is not designed to be a tank, they can certainly hold up in a fight. In fact, only the warrior has a comparable armor class. While this can be a plus, it also means that a ranger is more dependent on his weapons and armor than any other profession except the warrior.
The Ranger has a myriad of skills at his disposal which allow him to combine preparation skills, such as adding fire or poison to his arrows, with other attack skills such as dual shot. These combinations allow the ranger to throw some serious damage at his enemies from a range. While the ranger excels at his attacks from range, he has several skills that allow him to survive should the battle come into melee range by raising evasion, increasing speed, or blinding the attacker. He's also fully capable of disrupting and hindering the enemy with skills that interrupt or silence casters, and weaken, slow, or blind attackers. In addition, the ranger is also the only profession that allows for taming and raising animal companions (pets) to assist in combat. Add in a few skills for laying AoE traps across the map for your enemy and you have a very well rounded profession that can help his team to victory in any number of ways.
While playing a ranger may seem as simple as standing away from the fray and launching arrow after arrow into the enemy, a savvy player will quickly realize that it is more complex than that, requiring not only sound strategy, but good energy management, skill management, and attribute allocation as well. The Ranger is as dependent on his weapons and armor as he is on his skills, so a good ranger will not only spend time questing for skills but better equipment as well.
At creation a ranger has armor rated at 15AL + 10AL versus elemental damage. As they advance they will eventually acquire armor rated at around 70AL + 30AL versus elemental attacks. Of course there is some variation on the stats. The Ranger has the strongest armor in the game except for the warrior, who is equivalent. The Ranger's armor is optimized to protect the wearer from ranged elemental attacks, where the warrior's armor is optimized to protect against physical damage. Keep this in mind when attacking and let the warriors take the brunt of the melee attacks if possible.
In addition to physical and elemental damage protection, the ranger's armor also offers a few other bonuses. Much of the armor has stats that increase energy or masks that grant bonuses such as a +1 to an attribute. New armor is available to the ranger at levels 5, 10, 13, 15, 17, 19, and 20. Since armor is important to the ranger, it is highly suggested that armor be upgraded at every level except 19 where it is better served to save up your money and supplies to get your level 20 armor as quickly as possible.
As of this writing, Rangers have four attributes, Expertise (their primary), Marksmanship, Wilderness Survival, and Beast Mastery. A fifth attribute, stealth, was planned at one point, but it seems to have either been shelved or dropped all together. As for the attributes; most bow skills are tied to Expertise or Marksmanship, enhancements and traps are tied into Wilderness Survival, and all skills related to pets are linked from Beast Mastery.
Expertise is the Ranger's primary attribute. Every rank in Expertise reduces energy costs on any attack skills, preparations, or traps by 4%. At skill rank 12, energy costs are reduced by 48%. It is highly advisable to have a high Expertise rank as it not only increases the power of all its linked skills but also reduces energy cost on other attack skills as well, even from other professions or attributes.
A Ranger who focuses on high Expertise will not only experience a lower energy cost on all attack skills but also have access to many defensive and disruptive skills with a few attack skills placed in. To many people only glancing at the expertise line, it may seem rather weak as most skills only aid in defense or lower the enemy's abilities. Truth be told, Expertise is one of the more important attributes in the game. The disruption skills are key to bringing down some of the tougher enemies, while the defensive skills will keep you alive more often than you may realize. Add in the reduction of energy cost, and this attribute line becomes almost irreplaceable.
Marksmanship is another important attribute to a ranger and most rangers will be found with points not only high in Expertise, but also in Marksmanship. First and foremost, the Marksmanship attribute increases the effectiveness of all skills linked to it. The more points you can drop in Marksmanship, the higher damage your ranger is going to be dishing out.
Most skills in Marksmanship pack a lot of punch, and if you're looking for skills to make you a more effective damage dealer, you need look no further than the Marksmanship line. The skills found here will not only deal extra damage, but allow for quicker shots, slowing and crippling of enemies, as well as additional attacks (in some cases attacking more than one enemy.)
Wilderness Survival:
As always, Wilderness Survival affects the power of all linked skills such as preparations, traps and rituals. Wilderness Survival offers more skills than any other attribute the ranger has access to. While Wilderness Survival is a hard attribute to focus a build around, it can really stack with skills from your other attributes and offer nice support.
Wilderness Survival is where you're going to find most if not all of your preparations, traps, and rituals. These skills either add additional damage such as fire or poison to your attacks, allow you to place traps for unsuspecting enemies to run into, or grant your ranger additional survival techniques such as removing poisons or hexes. Wilderness Survival is a great skill to focus as a third or fourth attribute. These skills don't stand up very well on their own, but pick one or two and they can really improve your other skills or allow even greater flexibility for your ranger.
Beast Mastery:
The final ranger attribute is Beast Mastery and again, it improves all skills linked to it. Beast Mastery is the attribute that allows your ranger to charm, control, or affect other animals of the wild. Most skills in this line are intended for strengthening your pet. As of this writing there are three different animal companions to be tamed; the lynx, the moa bird, and the warthog. Each of these animals has slightly different attack abilities but for the most part, are fairly indistinguishable other than their graphics. All three of these pets are used as melee combatants.
The pets are great for adding an extra body to the fray. They work well as an added sustained dot attack and as they level, they become much more powerful and useful. Yes, you do have to train and level your pet just as you do any other character in the game and they do start out rarely weak, however, these pets can be quite useful, especially in soloing or in cases where another tank is needed for a battle.
The Charm Animal skill must be equipped to first charm your pet and to also bring it into battle. The many other skills found in the Beast Mastery line serve to make your pet either more resilient or more damaging. The skills range from healing and rezzing your pet, to either strengthening your pet's armor or increasing its damage.
While most skills in the Beast Mastery line are for your pets, there are a few other skills that could make this a valuable third or fourth attribute even if you choose not to bring a pet into battle. These include skills such as Primal Echoes, and Energizing Wind, which grant healing and energy bonuses, and Edge of Extinction, which creates an AoE attack upon death of an enemy. Again, this is an attribute that is hard to make a primary focus unless you're going to let your pet do most of the battle, but it can be a very useful attribute nonetheless.
Building a Ranger
When building a ranger it's important to first decide on what role you want to play. Unlike some other classes, the ranger isn't as straightforward. A little forward thinking would serve you well as you level and save you from having to use too many refund points at a later date.
The main accepted roles of the ranger are for long-range damage, disruption, beast mastery, or a mix of the three. I would strongly advise considering the type of role you would like to fill upon character creation and choose a secondary profession that compliments that nicely. For disruption, a mesmer or necromancer profession would fit well. Should you want to focus on damage, an elementalist or warrior would be a better fit. Of course nothing is set in stone, so study all the professions and find what would compliment your play style and be the most fun for you.
The easiest role for a ranger to play is the long-range damage dealer. This role basically consists of heaping as much damage as possible on your opponent in the shortest amount of time. Make sure that you have the strongest bow that you can find as this will have almost as big of an impact on your damage as your attributes will. To inflict the highest amount of damage, it's important to find skills that stack together well. Look for skills that add damage to your attacks, speed your attack rate, etc… and use those skills with other damage modifying attacks. For example, you could use Read the Wind with Ignite Arrows and Dual Shot. This would serve to speed your attack rate, inflict fire damage on all attacks, and fire two arrows at once.
The more complicated role is the disruption role. First let's define disruption. Basically, your main purpose is not to inflict large amounts of damage on your opponent but to cripple them so that their damage or defense is reduced allowing your other teammates the opportunity to both survive longer and kill them off quicker. The ranger, if played well, can excel at disruption. He has the ability to silence casters, lower armor values, slow attack rates, slow movement speed, etc… Some of the key skills for disruption are Pin Down, Concussion Shot, Debilitating Shot, etc… When building a disruption character, search for skills that disable or weaken your opponent and learn to use them at the appropriate time. Timing can be as important as skill selection with this role.
The final role is Beast Mastery. Beast Mastery can be a great line to supplement another role but is tougher to use as your primary purpose. Pets have an annoying little habit of doing whatever the heck they want. Currently there are no pet commands with which to control your pet, so you just have to hope it does something useful. There is a whole set of skills for adding different types of damage or additional health or armor class to your pets but as a whole they're not the strongest attack, especially in PvP against an intelligent opponent. They do serve well as an added Damage Over Time attack and can run well in a small supporting role, but I wouldn't currently suggest creating your build around one. Pets can be a great help in PvE however. They're great for using as tanks while you stand out of harms way and launch attack after attack and are a nice addition for solo exploration.
Of course, it's not required to focus entirely on anyone of the above builds. Successful players may find that focusing on one or two things may benefit them well. I suggest always having at least one defensive skill on your bar for helping you escape a tight situation. An example build utilizing several focuses might be Read the Wind, Ignite Arrows, Dual Shot, and Power Shot for damage, Pin Down and Concussion Shot to help disrupt enemies and Escape for defense in case the ranger gets cornered.
The Ranger/Warrior combination gives you access to all physical attacks making you the ultimate physical fighter. Adding Warrior as a secondary class gives you access to all of your normal bow disciplines, but also hammer, sword, or axe disciplines, as well as the warriors tactics line. Players who choose the Ranger/Warrior are looking to deal damage no matter what the situation. These characters excel at dealing damage from a range, but with their good armor can also deal out some decent melee damage as well.
For those who want to play the ultimate ranged damage dealer, the Ranger/Elementalist may be a good combination to look at. This character will be able to unleash an arsenal of damage from a distance using arrows or elemental damage. While his energy levels will be lower than a primary elementalist, the ranger's armor bonuses will allow him to survive far longer. Adding a secondary elementalist grants access to all skills from the Air, Earth, Fire, and Water lines. It would be best to focus on just one of the lines and find skills that compliment your purpose.
Players who choose Necromancer as a secondary profession have several options available for them. This player is perfectly suited to deal large amounts of disruption to the enemy. Both the Ranger and the Necromancer have a large amount of skills that allow them to weaken, hex, slow, or silence their enemies. Secondary Necromancers may also want to consider using skills that affect the dead such as raising bone minions. A damage-dealing ranger who also commands an army of undead minions can be a terror on the battlefield.
The Ranger/Mesmer is yet another good combination for dealing mass disruption across the battlefield. Secondary mesmers will gain access to the mesmer's disruption attributes. The Domination line normally reduces the efficiency of casters. The Inspiration line normally alters the buffs and energy storage of enemies, and the Illusions line normally reduces physical abilities and attacks.
An extra monk is always welcome in any party. Players who choose to add the monk to their secondary lines gain the powerful healing and resurrection abilities of the monk. In addition to the healing abilities, monks also have a surprisingly strong smiting line of spells. As a secondary class, a secondary monk is far better served by using his healing line as the ranger can deal far more damage than the smiting line can do.
- Define your role and create your build to fit that role
- Pick Complimentary skills and Secondary Professions
- Keep energy management in mind when selecting skills
- Know your enemies; learn their skills and which skills can counter them
- Conversely, know what your enemies can do to counter you and how to adjust
- Don't overextend yourself during battle, remember to stay with your team and in healing range
- When in PvE missions, always bring your healing signet
Ranger Specific
- Play to your strengths. Rangers work best from a good range
- Use skills such as Concussion Shot, Pin Down, Debilitating Shot, Distracting Shot, etc... for disruption based builds
- Stack Preperations with damage attacks for extra damage
- Use skills such as Read the Wind, Power Shot, Ignite Arrows, Dual Shot, etc... for damage based builds
- Don't forget a few defensive skills in case of an emergency
- Timing can be everything on the disruption skills, learn your casting times and the casting times of enemies
- Most importantly, remember this is a game, and about fun. If a particular profession or role frustrates you, find one that is fun. HAVE FUN!

So much for suspense.
Showtime didn't leave "Billions" fans guessing whether or not the drama series would return for Season 3. The premium network announced the show's renewal just three weeks into its sophomore season, THR reports. Season 2 premiered online on Feb. 10 and aired on Showtime on Feb. 19.
The series, which comes from creators Brian Koppelman, David Levien, and Andrew Ross Sorkin, centers on the ongoing power struggle between U.S. Attorney Charles "Chuck" Rhoades Jr. (Paul Giamatti) and hedge fund manager Bobby "Axe" Axelrod (Damian Lewis). Since the beginning, they've been consistently trying to outmaneuver each other. Now that the show has been renewed again, it doesn't look like their battles will end anytime soon.
The drama, betrayal and gamesmanship will continue in Season 3 of #Billions. pic.twitter.com/foq1Qryt6n
— Billions (@SHO_Billions) March 8, 2017
The network promised more "drama, betrayal and gamesmanship," and Showtime Networks President and CEO David Nevins made it sound like the show will only get better as it goes on.
"[Season 2] has only whetted our audience's appetite for what will come," he said in a statement.
We're ready for it.
"Billions," which also stars Maggie Siff and Malin Akerman, airs Sundays on Showtime at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

GMAC Bank has one of the best deals on a short-term CD.
It's 2.95% offer is almost double the national average for 12-month deposits, interest is compounded daily and the minimum deposit is only $500.
The only downside is that you'll be charged a stiffer than usual six months worth of interest should you have to withdraw funds before the CD matures.
Yes, this is the online banking operation of GMAC Financial Services, which began life as the auto financing arm of General Motors Corp. before branching out into subprime mortgages that just about wrecked the place. But we digress.
The critical thing about GMAC Bank is that it is FDIC insured and earns four out of five stars in Bankrate's "Safe & Sound" scoring system. You're not going to lose your money.

June/July 2010
Peanut Noodle Salad
Peanut noodle salad often gets stuck in the muck. We resolved to make the sauce as smooth as Thai silk.
Why This Recipe Works
We use ordinary chunky peanut butter in our Peanut Noodle Salad for its gentle sweetness, good crunch, and lack of grittiness. Because we used chunky peanut butter, there was no need to add chopped peanuts. Using thick dried spaghetti or linguini kept the sauce smooth—and saved a trip to the grocery store for exotic rice noodles.
Cooling the cooked noodles under cold running water and coating them with sesame oil before tossing them in the sauce created a barrier that helped prevent pasty pasta.
