Is his account accurate? In places, almost certainly not. But overall, it provides a largely plausible picture of the mundane details Breivik attended to as he readied for mass murder.
A shocked and grieving nation remained fixated on the news Sunday. The royal family attended an emotional memorial service at the national cathedral.
“Every one of those gone is a tragedy,” Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg told the congregation. “Together it counts as a national disaster.”
As sobs erupted in the church, Stoltenberg appeared to be close to crying as he spoke of friends who were killed at Utoya. On Sunday night, a sea of flowers, candles and small Norwegian flags covered the plaza outside the cathedral, while a silent crowd kept watch.
Breivik, a 32-year-old who contends he is waging a Christian crusade against multiculturalism in Europe, believes the killings were “gruesome” but “necessary,” said his attorney, Geir Lippestad. Breivik has acknowledged that he carried out the attacks, his attorney said, but he denies criminal responsibility. Police officials said Sunday that Breivik told them he acted without an accomplice.
His diary is part of a 1,500-page manifesto that Breivik admits posting on the Internet, Lippestad says. Part history, part commentary, part how-to manual, it lays out his loathing of Islam and his determination to preserve a Christian Europe. It is written in English, a language Scandinavians often turn to when trying to reach the broadest possible audience. The Norwegian newspaper VG has reported that sections of it were lifted from the manifesto of Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber.
As of Sunday evening, Breivik’s one-man revolution had left 93 dead and 96 injured, with four still missing. Divers continued to search the waters around the island for bodies.
A judge ruled Monday that Breivik will be held in isolation for four weeks because he might tamper with evidence and claims there are “two more cells in our organization,” the Associated Press reported. Although he has acknowledged the bombing and shooting, he pleaded not guilty and told the court was trying to save Europe from Islam, news services said.
Breivik writes in his manifesto about the period before he began his diary. He says that he had been preparing for the attacks for years — and that he was determined to err on the side of killing too many people rather than too few.
In April, he began his preparations in earnest. He rented a farm in the village of Aasta, in the Hedmark region of Norway, from a man who was going to prison for growing marijuana. His stated intention was to grow sugar beets, because he had learned that they require a large amount of fertilizer — which he planned to use to make bombs.

The Midnight Mix is made of Labradorite for insight, Black Jasper for grounding and Pyrite for protection from negativity. Each stone is linked by wrapped brass wire and it is 18" long. It meets the Moillard medallion where it is joined by a unique bail.

30 mm Cage to Ø1/2" Post Adapters
CPTS20 Adapter Used to Integrate a
10 mm Offset
Thorlabs' 30 mm cage to Ø1/2" post adapters allow the integration of our post-mounted components into our 30 mm cage system. The front face of this clamp is similar to the CP33(/M) cage plate and accommodates our Ø6 mm ER cage rods, which are secured using M4 x 0.7 side-located locking setscrews [5/64" (2 mm) hex]. The center-located SM1 (1.035"-40) threaded bore, which is compatible with our popular Ø1" lens tubes, directly accepts a Ø1" optic up to 0.19" (4.8 mm) thick. Two SM1RR retaining rings are included. For additional information on our cage system, please refer to the Cage Overview tab.
The tail stock of this adapter has a double-bored through-hole and a spring-loaded thumbscrew that provides three-point contact for Ø1/2" posts for secure placement. Two versions are available, providing either 10 mm [Item # CPTS10(/M)] or 20 mm [Item # CPTS20(/M)] separation between the post center and the back of the cage plate.
Cage System Overview
The Cage Assembly System provides a convenient way to construct large optomechanical systems with an established line of precision-machined building blocks designed for high flexibility and accurate alignment.
16 mm, 30 mm, and 60 mm Cage System Standards
Thorlabs offers three standards defined by the center-to-center spacing of the cage assembly rods (see image below). The 16 mm cage, 30 mm cage, and 60 mm cage standards are designed to accomodate Ø1/2", Ø1", and Ø2" optics, respectively. Specialized cage plates that allow smaller optics to be directly inserted into our larger cage systems are also available.
The flexibility of our Cage Assembly System stems from well-defined mounting and thread standards designed to directly interface with a wide range of specialized products. The three most prevalent thread standards are our SM05 Series (0.535"-40 thread), SM1 Series (1.035"-40 thread), and SM2 Series (2.035"-40 thread), all of which were defined to house the industry's most common optic sizes. Essential building blocks, such as our popular lens tubes, directly interface to these standards.

Embattled Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Presidency Omar Shariff, has broken his silence about the ongoing investigations against him by the Special Organised Crime Unit.
In a statement on Saturday night, Shariff, who has remained silent since the probe began, denied any involvement in the embezzlement of public funds and he also lashed out at sections of the media for sensational reporting on the issue.
Mr. Shariff, who was also a candidate for the PPP at the last elections, was sent on leave when the investigations into his wealth started two months ago.
He said after consultation with his attorney, he has been advised that “it is now appropriate and has become necessary for me to address the false and unsubstantiated allegations and imputations being published by the electronic, broadcast and print media.”
Shariff said the probe has to do with a personal income tax matter regarding his private business. adding that “the distortion of this personal income tax matter to make it appear to be theft and embezzlement of public funds was without any factual foundation and mischievous by those who did so.”
“I would like it to be known that I have not been involved by myself or in collusion with others in any theft or embezzlement of public funds”, he assured.
He has also denied reports that he has bank accounts with billions of dollars.
“I am unable to discern from where the publications have concluded that I was holding billions of dollars in my accounts; this is simply not true. The continued publication of these have caused me and my family great concern- security, hardship and otherwise.”
He also said he is disappointed that information that he provided to SOCU and which SOCU took from his home pursuant to a search warrant, “has found its way into the public domain and has been deliberately skewed, distorted, misrepresented and misinterpreted for obvious sensationalism, implying I had stolen billions of dollars of public funds and owned billions of dollars’ worth of property and shares in public companies; none of which have any factual underpinning. This is simply not true.”
He said since the commencement of the investigation by SOCU and other agencies, he has cooperated fully at every level of the process and has provided all of the information asked for “while making myself available to answer any and all questions about my business, its revenue and related tax matters.”
“I deny all allegations which seek to link me and my business to money laundering, tax evasion and any corrupt practice that arise as a result of misuse of public funds or the breakage of the law”, he said.
He said he has confidence in the Government and expects due process and justice to prevail and the rule of law maintained.
“I am confident that I will be vindicated at the end of this matter”, the PS noted.

This is so hard for us to write.
We're still mourning the loss of beloved angel Amy Winehouse…
And a new tell-all book, written by Chloe Govan and sourced from interviews with a close friend of Amy's, is shedding even more light on the darkness that plagued sweet Amy's life before her tragic death in 2011.
According to these interviews, Amy was controlled and manipulated by then-husband Blake Fielder-Civil. The book says he used drugs and 'emotional S&M' to ensure her place in his life:

Doctors have placed Blake Fielder-Civil into a medical coma following an overdose caused by an alcohol and drug binge.
His body is reportedly fighting an infection that resulted from the mixture alcohol, morphine and heroin.
Sarah Aspin, the mother of Blake's toddler son, found the ex-husband of Amy Winehouse choking on his own vomit days after the one-year anniversary of Amy's death.
Sarah explains the events leading up to the overdose:

Such a tragedy.
During Anderson Cooper's premiere episode of his new talk series, Anderson, Amy Winehouse's parents, Mitch and Janice, appeared to discuss the death of their daughter, and during which gave some insight into how her estranged husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, started her down the path of hard drug use, and how they feared it would take her life four years ago.

- Khloe Kardashian was the subject of many memes and info over the weekend after the reality star showed a very different look on Instagram.
- Kardashian posted an image where the shape of her face appeared radically changed from her typical appearance, prompting a quick reaction from Twitter users who also made memes about the new face of the reality star.
- “Khloe Kardashian looks like a different person every year,” one wrote, while the other made a joke linking Kardashian with Faceless Men / Jaqen H’ghar from “Game of Thrones.”
- “If Khloe kardashian enters a contest similar to Khloe kardashian, I’m not sure he will be in the top 10,” said another user.
Khloe Kardashian posted Instagram photos showing a dramatic new look on Saturday, and social media users quickly accused the real star of photo editing and cosmetic surgery.
Kardashian posted the photos to her account on Saturday, along with the statement: “Location: under b —- skiiiinnnnn.”
While some commentators praised the star’s hair and makeup, others on Twitter focused on the fact that Kardashian’s face – including her jaw, eyes and chin – looked very different from usual. Advertisement

The project will transform the current single family house and the two-story apartment building on the two adjacent lots into a four-story, twelve-unit residential building, which will significantly increase the density and compactness of use of this site.
To ensure the proposed building’s compatibility with the immediate neighborhood and make it less prominent in terms of mass presence, we adhere to the conscious design intent of using massing composition, instead of style‐specific ornamentation, to achieve architectural intensity.
Great care is given to breaking down the four‐story building volume into one or two‐story components so the building appears to be a congregation of small houses, provoking individuality in a village with harmony and a sense of community.
This design strategy makes this project homey and contextually friendly in this neighborhood with many single‐family homes. Meanwhile, sustainable features and green technologies are adopted in the design to achieve resource conservation, energy generation, and to address urban growth issues.
This project was designed by amphibianArc in 2014. Image credited by amphibianarc.

Located in the remote wilderness of northwestern Maine Canada Falls section of the South Branch of the Penobscot River is the latest success story for American Whitewater. The first summer recreational release occurred on Saturday July 2nd 2005. An agreement hammered out by AW director Tom Christopher with Brascan power, Plum Creek, and the Piscataquis and Penobscot Indian tribes guarantees releases every Saturday during July and August of each year for the next 50 years.
North Maine Woods Inc.
The Canada Falls section of the Penobscot lies in what is known as the North Maine Woods. North Maine woods is a consortium of private landowners (mostly paper companies), encompassing 3.5 million acres of working forest. It is rugged remote country many miles from the conveniences of modern day life. To get more information on access fees, gate locations and hours, camping information, etc. go to the North Maine Woods website.
It's not the easiest place to get to but the scenery is nice and the dirt roads are not too bad. You will want to start your trip into the small town of Rockwood Maine on the western shore of Moosehead lake.
To get to Rockwood
If you are coming up from the Forks area
Once in Rockwood at the country store get all your supplies including food and gas up your vehicle there are very limited services within the North Maine Woods region.
From Rockwood to Canada Falls
Camping at Canada Falls
Camp right a Canada Falls Lake Campground or use one of the DOC sites in the area. The one right at the Cabin Rapid is a personal favorite.

Probably the most visually intimidating drop on the river. As the river splits around a large island take the narrower right hand channel to the slack water just above a sharp horizon line. Take out on river right to scout or carry around. Just above the drop the two river channels meet once more then plunge over a slanted rock slab. The left side of the slide is a vertical wall that may be undercut. At the bottom of the slide the channel constricts to just about 20’ into a huge exploding boil. At higher levels a rather large keeper hole forms. The usual route is to start at the converging river channels above then run through the center of the slide down into the boil with a left lean as you hit the bottom of the slide. The rock slab on river right gradually angles down to the river bed forcing the water to push to the left creating the exploding boil at the bottom of the slide. Just below the boil there is a shallow spot followed by a large recovery pool.
After a fairly long section of class II and III water you may eye several exposed ledges protruding from river left. Take out in the large eddy on river left just above one of the ledges. Just downstream river left (and out of site from river level) is the South Branch campsite where you can access the river to scout before you run. The river drops sharply towards the right vertical river bank then takes a rather sharp left turn then drops over a two foot ledge into a very large keeper hole. The hole is nearly river wide with a passage on river left. Run the upper rapid directly to a river right eddy just below where the river hits the right bank and takes a hard left. You will need to be fairly aggressive to punch into this eddy. From the top of this eddy set up and execute a hard ferry to the river left eddy, once here it is a simple run to the left of the hole. Do not underestimate the power of the current here and get sucked downstream into the hole. Just after the slot the river splits around a midstream rock ledge then leads into a calm pool.
Not far below SYBOF the calm water ends and you are once again in class II and III waters. A couple ledges and turns down and you will notice some rather large midstream rocks and obstructed passages. Pull out on river left and scout. The top of the rapid has a river wide hole, weakest on the left. Once past the hole the flow splits around a large midstream ledge, the left channel runs through a rather obstructed and shallow drop at the lower release levels. River left drops over an “L” shaped ledge easiest run on far river left. The more difficult line is up close to the midstream ledge where the flow piles up against and takes a sharp and steep left hand turn. I then drops into a two step drop with a trashy hole at the bottom of each. Do not hug up too close to the midstream ledge; at the bottom of the first step there is a large semi-submerged rock that may knock you back into the hole.
This is really just the lower part of the same rapid. Shortly after the upper drop the river once again splits around some midstream ledges. The river left route has a steep drop by a large protruding ledge. Downstream from here the river is somewhat shallow at the lower release levels and requires some maneuvering to get through.
Towards the bottom Lower Split Decision there is a near river wide hole that is best run on the far left.
There is a gage available at http://www.h2oline.com/235119.asp The gage is never that accurate due to the dam type but it will give you an idea. Also Brookfield's "Forecast" flow is very unreliable, check the gage the morning you leave.
There is a gage spray painted on one of the rock out cropping at the dam, however it was pretty faded when I saw it last and I don't know how it relates to actual level. I believe section is easier then this thread suggests, a couple extensive rapids (namely split decision or "Three Doors" as I was taught) but everything is pretty straight forward. I have always run it with a playboat however creekers might make the moves a little more fun. I haven’t done it real high though, only up to 1100ish.
We have had releases on this reach but don't show any currently. This information is

If someone gets hurt on a river, or you read about a whitewater-related injury, please report it to
American Whitewater. Don't worry about multiple submissions from other witnesses, as our safety
editors will turn multiple witness reports into a single unified accident report.
A hardy group of northeast boaters climbed into the natural river channel below a hydropower dam to participate in a flow study designed to assess whether whitewater flows should be restored to this dewatered river reach on the Connecticut River. While significant obstacles remain, this site has the potential for providing instruction, playboating, and a big water feature that that could be run throughout much of the year and provide a much needed boost to the local economy.
Releases for the weekend of Aug. 4, 2012, on New York's Salmon River and the Canada Falls section of the Penobscot in Maine have been cancelled as a result of low water this summer.
Log into the American Whitewater website and you can contribute to river descriptions,
flow and access tips, and maps associated with runs you've done. You can even add new
runs to the inventory!

|Aurelia picking tomatoes|
While we are picking the fruits of our labour, I am already thinkning about the fall and winter months to come, when we won't be enjoying the bounty of our own yard.
August 2011 was a good month for us; the much expected tomatoes and edamame were ripe and were enjoyed.
Here is the overview:
1/2 lbs Artichokes
34 lbs Tomatoes
25 lbs Zucchini
1 lbs Cucumber
Basil (I didn't bother weighing)
1 lbs Edamame (they were sooo good!)
A total of 61.5 lbs of produce!
.... and daily two duck eggs, so a total of 62 duck eggs and sunflowers and lavender!
So, what to do with all these tomatoes, you ask? Well, we gave loads of them away and I made paste, which I froze in glass containers.

The writer Bret Easton Ellis—American Psycho, Rules of Attraction, The Canyons—debuted a new podcast last month with a two-part interview with Kanye West. For his second guest, in a satisfying curveball, he's pulled in Marilyn Manson, whose 2013 has included a number of unexpected resurgences. Over the course of an hour, Marilyn cops to crying when he watched The Notebook and plotting to steal Daryl Hannah's prosthetic pinky finger, calls the Bible's New Testament a "propaganda tool" (classic Marilyn), talks about talking to David Bowie about getting bored with drugs and how Hot Topic wouldn't exist if it weren't for him, and much more—all in a very hypnotizing, deep voice. There's a second part coming next week.

What has been widely suspected is now confirmed by Congressman Devin Nunes who says he has seen evidence that clearly shows “abuse” of government surveillance programs by both the FBI and DOJ.
Now, the question is what are they going to do about it. Heads in high places should roll for this.
As reported by Fox News, House Intelligence Chairman Nunes told Republican colleagues in two closed-door meetings this week he has seen evidence that shows clear “abuse” of government surveillance programs by FBI and Justice Department officials, according to three sources familiar with the conversations, raising more questions about whether the controversial anti-Trump dossier was used by the Obama administration to authorize surveillance of advisers to President Trump.
The California Republican made his comments in private meetings with GOP colleagues as he tried to round up votes in favor of renewing a key section of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, known as Section 702, which eventually passed in the House on Thursday.
That part of the law specifically gives the U.S. government the power to get access to communications, such as emails or phone calls, of foreigners outside the United States who may be plotting a terrorist attack but does not allow the government to target Americans.
Before the vote, Nunes told GOP lawmakers they could trust him that he has not seen abuse of that section of the law dealing with foreigners, but that other sections of the law have in fact been misused by government officials to conduct surveillance of Americans. Nunes vowed that he plans to address his concerns by trying to share the evidence with the entire House later this month, after the debate over Section 702 is complete, according to the three sources familiar with the conversations.
Should Congress Remove Biden from Office?
Nunes said he would “read all 435 members of Congress into major abuses with other areas of FISA and will read members in ASAP” on those problems, according to one of the three sources familiar with the conversations.
While Nunes was not specific about the abuses, his comments came after a Washington Examiner report that during the week of January 1, representatives from four key congressional panels — including the House Intelligence Committee — examined FISA documents from the Obama administration in a secure room at the Justice Department.
That session at the Justice Department, confirmed by Fox News, came after Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray agreed to make the documents available to lawmakers under pressure from Nunes. Nunes had fired off a late December letter to Rosenstein blasting the DOJ and FBI for its “failure to fully produce” documents related to the anti-Trump dossier, saying “at this point it seems the DOJ and FBI need to be investigating themselves.”
Byron York of the Washington Examiner reported this week that representatives from these committees had the opportunity to view documents that cut to “the question of whether the FBI used unverified material from the dossier — a Clinton campaign opposition research product — to apply for permission to spy on Americans.”
Nunes privately told GOP lawmakers that he will be pushing as early next week to secure access for all 435 members of Congress to see the same documents to decide for themselves what happened, as some of his Republican colleagues have already said they believe the dossier was a significant factor in surveillance of Trump officials.
“But I think that there is a broader question here,” conservative North Carolina Republican Rep. Mark Meadows told Fox News this week. “Why would the FBI use a Democrat paid-for dossier to actually surveil another campaign?”
But the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, California Rep. Adam Schiff, charged in December that Nunes is doing the bidding of the White House by pursuing questions about the dossier as a distraction from the panel’s probe into questions of Russian collusion in the 2016 campaign.
“It’s more of the same problem we saw early in the investigation, when the chairman had difficulty removing himself from his role during the campaign of being a proxy for the White House,” Schiff told MSNBC.
