Price for 1 night 2 adults*
Not a good location Was put in a Junior Suite in the Residences whereas I was expecting to be in the hotel section Breakfast disorganised quality poor staff attitude poor. The bedroom standard of decor and cleanliness also poor.
Great find, Just booked it on a price basis but really was super value for money. The hotel Staff were friendly and helpful. Pool are was great as well. Used the Gym as well which was full of up to date equipment. Located near to the Airport its about a 25 AED Taxi ride to the Dubai mall, you can ...
Traumhaft! Sehr schöne Hotelanlage. Tolle Pools und sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter.
Good ..but.missed having a balcony.more for kids to do.
The hotel was nice,but the hotel could've been more better if the apartments were in the main building,rather being separate. The rooms were spacious and clean and the breakfast was divine.
Location near airport and Irish village. Shuttle bus to airport
Of course you could spend a lot more (have done it) and have luxury but this is excellent value with most acceptable amenities.
Truly a great idea to break that tedious journey, relax and sleep and set off again refreshed and relaxed. Staff were courteous without exception, but I would like to commend especially the porter who was concerned to hear that we had lost an item of value somewhere between London and Dubai. on his ...

I was lucky enough to see an advanced screening of The Fantastic Four. I was really excited because I thought it was about two hos with nice racks. It was really about these five white people that went into space. Normally, this lack of black representation would make me mad. There is, however, a very good reason there were no brothers in space: Any brother with half a brain knows, if he goes to outer space with five white people and something goes wrong, heÂ's the first one to die.
Something did go wrong when they went into space, but did someone die? No, because there werenÂ't any black people. Instead, they all got super-freakinÂ'-powers. The chick got the ability to become invisible and make objects invisible. You know, when they were deciding what powers to give to whom, they had to give the invisibility one to the chick. If they gave that power to one of the guys, he would just spend the whole time making girlsÂ' clothes disappear and totally forget about saving the world.
The Human Torch could turn into fire and bend flames. It seems like a cool power at first. I mean, sure, you never have to carry around a lighter, and you can make smores anywhere, but what happens when you get gas? I mean, you canÂ't just let one slip and blame it on the dog. EveryoneÂ's going to notice the flames shooting out of your butt.
Mr. Fantastic had the ability to elongate his body. It seems like a boring power at first, but when I was watching him I thought, "Can he elongate every part of his body?" If so, then that's the power I want.
Then thereÂ's the Thing. He is a hideously misshapen monster with superhuman strength. This dude was ugly, I mean U-G-L-Y. I donÂ't care if he can pick up a fire truck; there is no way this dude is getting laid. Let me be sexy and weak as a kitten. That beats being ugly and horny any day.
Now, if there was a brother up there, and those racist writers were nice enough not to kill him off, his power would just be the ability to find the nearest PopeyeÂ's, or some crap. Racist bastards.
These four characters joined together to become the Fantastic Four. They all put on their leotards and fought their enemy, Dr. Doom. Why do they have to put them in those stupid tights? Why canÂ't they fight crime in a nice pair of jeans? Then maybe they could do some undercover work, and find out who the bad guy is before he unleashes his diabolical scheme. WhoÂ's not going to notice the fairy in a leotard thatÂ's shooting fire out of his ass?
I wonÂ't tell you how it ended, because I donÂ't know. Some chick with a phat ass winked at me and I followed her to her car. I would definitely borrow the bootleg from my cousin next week after he goes to see it. However, if the movie ended anything like my night did, youÂ're going to need a shot of penicillin.

Peterbald Breed
The Peterbald is a cat of Russian origin created in 1994, the result of an experiment which bred a Donskoy male with an Oriental Shorthair female. The first two litters of this pairing produced four Peterbald kittens who are the founders of the breed. Although recognized, the Peterbald is a young breed and is still being developed in the direction of modern Oriental and Siamese types.
Peterbalds are sweet, affectionate and peaceful cats. They tend to live harmoniously with everyone, from small children to other cats, and are lovingly devoted to their owners. Though calm and refined, they are also playful and athletic and will impress their owners with their antics. Peterbalds are inquisitive animals and will explore nooks and crannies and investigate every out of place sound they hear. They are highly sociable animals who flourish with attention and affection but become withdrawn if left alone for long periods.
The Peterbald is gracefully built. Long and slender, they are athletic and muscular without being clumsy. They have long tails, webbed feet and oval paws which serve to help them grasp objects, making them adept at opening doors and turning handles. Their heads are narrow, eyes are almond shaped, and their ears are large, widely set apart, and have even been compared to bat wings. In appearance, they are similar to Oriental Shorthairs.
Peterbalds are divided into two groups: Bald and Hairy. Both of these types have further divisions: Bald is available in Ultra Bald, Flock/Chamois, or Velour, while Hairy is divided into Brush and Straight. Ultra Bald are the only variation born without hair. The others are simply variants of a very short coat. Bathing is required for Peterbalds as their skin may become greasy, and care should be taken with their exposure to sun as they burn easily. Peterbalds come in all colors and markings.

My wife and I reviewed many different companies on the internet before reading the great reviews for Vince and All Limo Inc. All of the reviews held true. The car was very clean and he had waters waiting for us as we got into the car. I highly recommend Vince and All Limo Inc. for any occassion. I will use Vince anytime I am in the Miami area.
N. Fuller
I used All Limo for my clients going on a cruise but staying one night at a hotel in Miami. When they were picked up in Ft. Lauderdale Vincent was waiting for them in the luggage area which they loved. They were escorted to a beautiful Mercedes Sedan and he even had cold water in waiting for them. My clients were able to relax after a long flight (from Calif) and the whole experience made them feel special and taken care of and that is exactly what I wanted for my clients. I will be using ALL Limo for all my clients visiting the Ft. Lauderdale/Miami area. Thanks for the superior service!
T. Reick
My wife and I have just returned from vacation in Fort Lauderdale and having used All Limos Inc, for pick-up at Miami airport to our hotel in Ft Lauderdale and return, I wanted to thank Vince, owner/operator, for ensuring that the vacation started and ended on a high. He provides an excellent service which couldn't be faulted and I have no hesitation in highly recommending this company to anyone requiring limousine services in the Ft Lauderdale/Miami area.
T. Hills
My wife and I used the limo services of this company on a recent vacation to Miami. The service provided was first class and we will definately use this facility again in the future. Our driver Vincent Magri was punctual, polite and charming and the vehicle spotless. Thank you.
A. Holliman UK Resident
Getting ready for a trip to the SUPER BOWL I searched Limos.com. I was contacted by email by several companies. But Vincent from ALL Limo Inc. called me himself.Am I happy he made that call. On Feb. 4, 2010, my friend and I were suppose to arrive at Miami airport at 11:30pm, because of flight changes we were rerouted to Ft.lauderdale, I called Vincent from Minnesota late at night, and there he was waiting for us at 1:00am. With no luggage he took us shopping in the middle of the night. Was gracious and his car is fantastic. On Feb 5th we still did not have our luggage I texted Vincent and ask for his help, at 11:00 at night. The next morning Vincent went to both airports found our bags, which the airlines could not. He went above and beyond what anyone had done for us. We also had him take us on a drive to South Beach...He was right we should of stuck with shopping!!! Vincent was the best thing that happened to us on our trip...even better then the SUPER BOWL. Thanks Vincent.
Mrs. Tim Black
Nothing but excellent, on time, professional and outstanding car and service. Booked 12 hrs prior to service. Not a glitch.
A. Soler
My family traveled to FLL where Vince picked up my wife and two kids. He is a fine and nice gentlemen. He provided infant seat and helped my wife with luggage. His car was extremely clean and nice. I will not hesitate to ask Vince to give me a ride next time i am in Florida. He looked very professional too.

1. And Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken to all the people, saying,
2. "Thus says the LORD, 'He who remains in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the plague. But he who goes out to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life as a prize, and shall live.'
3. Thus says the LORD, 'This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, and he shall capture it.' "
4. And the princes said to the king, "We beseech you, let this man be put to death. For in this way he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words to them. For this man does not seek the good of this people, but their ruin."
5. Then Zedekiah the king said, "Behold, he is in your hand. For the king cannot do a thing against you."
6. And they took Jeremiah and threw him into the pit of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, which was in the court of the prison. And they let Jeremiah down with ropes. And there was no water in the pit, only mire. So Jeremiah sank into the mire.
7. And Ebed-Melech the Ethiopian, of the officials in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the pit (the king was then sitting in the gate of Benjamin),
8. Ebed-Melech went out of the king's house and spoke to the king, saying,
9. "My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have thrown into the pit. And he is likely to die of hunger in the place where he is, for there is no more bread in the city."
10. Then the king commanded Ebed- Melech the Ethiopian, saying, "Take thirty men with you from here, and lift Jeremiah the prophet up out of the pit before he dies."
11. So Ebed-Melech took the men with him and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took worn out clothes and worn out rags from there, and let them down by ropes into the pit to Jeremiah.
12. And Ebed-Melech, the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, "Now put the worn out clothes and rags under your armpits, under the ropes." And Jeremiah did so.
13. So they drew up Jeremiah with ropes and took him up out of the pit. And Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
14. And Zedekiah the king sent and had Jeremiah the prophet brought to him, into the third gate in the house of the LORD. And the king said to Jeremiah, "I will ask you a thing. Do not hide anything from me."
15. Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, "If I declare it to you, will you not surely put me to death? And if I give you advice, you will not hearken to me."
16. Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, "As the LORD lives, Who made for us this soul, I will not put you to death, nor will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life."
17. Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, "Thus says the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, 'If you will surely surrender to the king of Babylon's princes, then your soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire. And you shall live, and your house.
18. But if you will not surrender to the king of Babylon's princes, then this city shall be given into the hands of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and you shall not escape out of their hand.' "
19. And Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, "I am afraid of the Jews who have fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and lest they abuse me."
20. But Jeremiah said, "They shall not deliver you. I beseech you, obey the voice of the LORD which I speak to you; so it shall be well with you, and your soul shall live.
21. But if you refuse to go out, this is the word that the LORD has shown to me:
22. 'And, behold, all the women who are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought out to the king of Babylon's rulers, and they shall say, "Your trusted friends have misled you, and have prevailed against you. Your feet have sunk in the mire, and they have turned away."
23. And they shall bring out all your wives and your children to the Chaldeans. And you shall not escape out of their hand, but shall be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon. And you shall cause this city to be burned with fire.' "
24. Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, "Let no man know of these words, and you shall not die.
25. But if the princes hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you and say to you, 'Declare to us now what you have said to the king; do not hide it from us, and we will not put you to death; also what the king said to you;'
26. Then you shall say to them, 'I presented my petition before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.' "
27. Then all the princes came to Jeremiah and asked him. And he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they quit speaking with him; for the matter was not known.
28. So Jeremiah stayed in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was captured.

A year or two ago, I read a bit of advice that really stuck with me. It helped me settle into a regular exercise routine, and it got me through last summer's rigorous effort of writing a first draft of a novel in three months. That advice was really just a simple reminder, something to get you past that hump of resistance that rises up when you're trying to start a new practice and you're tempted to skip it for the day:
If I do this today, it'll be easier to do it again tomorrow.
This has a more negative corollary, of course: if I skip this today, it'll be easier to skip it tomorrow.
New habits are hard, whether it's something you want to do (writing) or don't want to do (exercise). But quitting a new commitment isn't something that happens just once. Very few of us suddenly decide, "I'm not going to the gym ever again!" We just decide (or forget, which is an unconscious decision), "I'm not going to do it today." And when the decision to go or not go comes around again? Well, precedent has been established.
That's why it was so important for me to keep up the daily blogs, even though when I sat down to do it I had nothing of real merit to say. It was the practice that was important, not the performance. I promise, I am not going to keep blogging about what I'm blogging about. But because one of my purposes in posting daily is to keep track of my inner battle against creative resistance, I think it's relevant to indulge in a moment of self-analysis. Resistance1 is a wily bastard, and it'll come at you from all sorts of unexpected directions. Without strategies and tactics to combat it, you'll end up in a years-long abyss of creative inertia. Believe me, I know. I've been there.
So, having spotted this potential road hazard—not having anything interesting to write about when it's time to sit down to write the day's post—I have plotted a detour. I've hauled out my writing journal (another resistance-fighting practice that I haven't made full use of) and laid out a list of topics to blog about for the week. I thought about just making a list of potential topics to choose from, but decided that even the process of having to choose was fraught with potential resistance. There's too much wiggle room, too much opportunity to say, "Nah, none of this sparks my interest today." Instead, I've actually mapped the potential topics to specific days, so that when it's time to sit down and write a post, I'll know exactly what I'm there to do. I'm eliminating the resistance-manufactured block of not knowing what to write about, so I can get right into the meaningful work of actual writing.
I've plotted out the blog posts for the next week, and it's my goal to make scheduling part of my regular Friday routine, as part of my general writing update. Naturally, I reserve the right to change the plan if a passion or interest of the moment demands immediate attention, but on the whole I think it will make every tomorrow a little bit easier.
- If you're unfamiliar with the term "resistance" and it's application to creative work, then I can't recommend enough The Art of War by Steven Pressfield. For anyone who has ever struggled with writers block or other creative discipline problems, it's a real eye-opener about how easily we become our own worst enemies, and a real motivator for finding the strength and strategies for overcoming it.

The Hammond Conjecture
A darkly comic tale of sex, drugs and quantum mechanics…
BLACK FRIDAY SALE: For a limited time, the Amazon Kindle price will be reduced from £3.99 to £0.99 (or $1.28 on amazon.com)!
The Hammond Conjecture is an alternate-history novel which explores themes of memory, identity and historical narrative. It is also a lot of fun.
Are you sure you know who you are? If your memories disappeared and were replaced with someone else's, would you still be you? And what if those memories were not just from another person - but of a different world? A world in which Britain signed a peace treaty with Hitler in 1941, and now – thirty years later – is being wooed by the Third Reich to join its European Community.
London 1982 – perhaps. Regaining consciousness in an isolation ward of catatonic patients, glimpsing the outside world only through a television news bulletin, that is the dilemma facing Hugh Hammond.
Gradually Hugh's memories return – of his life as an MI6 officer a decade earlier. But in a world where Britain has been locked in a lonely Cold War against Fascist-dominated Europe. Are his memories false: delusions, or implanted as part of a mind-control experiment? Or was the television news fake – and if so, why? And what is the role of Carlton, the shadowy Intelligence officer who delivered him there?
Hugh types out his recollections: an adventure which takes him from an opium den in Limehouse, via a hippie encampment in British-occupied North France, to a State Reception for the Deputy Führer in the Durbar Court in Whitehall, and to a Le Carré-style climax in the divided city of Paris.
"Very well thought-out … Reminds me of Michael Moorcock's earlier novels." – Gary Gibson, leading British sci-fi writer.
The e-book has now been published in the Amazon Kindle Store. UK readers can click the button below to see it. Overseas readers should use the universal book link mybook.to/conjecture .
There you can read an extended extract using the Look Inside feature:

Intrigued? Click the button below to join my Readers Club and receive a free Hugh Hammond short story:The Final Patient. I'll send an email when the full novel is on sale at a promotional discount. I'll also let you know when a new batch of background footnotes appears on this website, and when the sequel - The Hammond Catastrophe - is published. I won't pass on your email, or use it for anything else.
"When I imagine things, I imagine the truth. It's so much better when it comes from how you imagine it, rather than how you report it." – Ray Davies (of The Kinks) 1973

Chapters 43 to 46: Spirits and universe
43. Creation of the universe and origin of physical and moral evil
There is not a Bubi who, for as very savage as he may appear, does not know God to be the universal creator of all things. The ancient Bubis knew perfectly well that God created immaterial or pure spirit beings, called bajula by them, and we call them angels. The name bajula comes from the verb o jula, which means to blow, to breathe, to evaporate, etc. From that originate the names rijula and ejururu, which are equivalent to blow or breath, and are identical to spiritus in Latin and "spirit" in English.
God, in the beginning, created the bajula perfect in moral and intellectual goodness. Some of them became perverted, and God, angry at this evil, threw them from his presence and condemned them to live wandering the universe. These are called bajula abé, or angels of bad spirits. The bajula bèbè, who remained in goodness and obedience to God, were retained with him in heaven (o lobakoppuá) with joys and blessings. No evil do they desire nor make to man. Their sole occupation consists of praising and glorifying the Most High for his infinite perfection and faithfully carrying out his orders.
After an indefinite time passed, God made the physical world. They don't explain how he created it, they only say that he formed it from earth, based on the principal that in the end all will return to dust.
The work of physical creation finished, God resolved to create mankind, male and female. He did not make them from common ground, from where he took the earth for other beings, but from an earth that they distinguish with the names of boa or moa, which is a little reddish. Afterward he blew over the bodies and said to them: a i jurippua, na ijeri becho, and he gave them human life.
He made them a comfortable and spacious house on a charming and picturesque site, and next to this he planted a rattan, which would form a perennial canopy around the house to protect it from the sun's burning rays. This plant was a symbol of God's exceptional and loving providence over man. He forbid them to cut it, and assured them that while the rattan lived they would be happy: it would free them from the need to work, all bad luck, and they would never know pain, sickness, or death. The earth would spontaneously produce an abundance of yams, malangas, and all types of edible vegetables and herbs for them, so they would not need to worry about corporal sustenance.
God added that the day his commands were lost he would remove his loving providence from them, and would look at them from a distance as a people banished. Calamities and death would come over them.
However, it happened that a bajula abé, or devil, who was envious of the aforementioned and happy humans, entered the head of the first male and made him frenetic. In his frenzy he cut and killed the rattan. God, ipso facto, threw the man and woman out of the house. His anger for this abomination rose to the point that he completely abandoned them. They remained slaves of Satan, the first of the bajula abé, and God withdrew to the most exalted of the heavens, where he receives homage, glory and praise from the good angels or bajula bèbè. From there he contemplates, as from afar, the events and vicissitudes that occur in this sublunar world.
All the Bubis give as certain the history of the rattan, but not all assure that from this deed came the origin of death, misfortunes, and adversities. In the first place, the woman had no part at all in this story, and the man was responsible physically, but not morally, for his actions, as a bad spirit had possessed him. In the second place, God does not punish man for involuntary evil, only for more serious evils committed with perfect knowledge and free will.
Almost all of them say that bad spirits are the main cause of evil and death, because they are envious of the happiness of man and woman. The bajula abé and baribó abé are the originators of all physical and moral evils that afflict humanity. These bad spirits devise plots to alienate men and women from God, appearing to them as a bad thought to commit a vile sin against their nature. God is merely the permissive cause of them, as he does not restrain these perverse spirits.
From this one can understand the reason the Bubi cult is almost exclusively inclined to honor spirits and the souls of the deceased and to appease them with sacrifices of goats and other offerings when they believe them to be angry.
44. Religion
Some, who are not experts in the psychology and customs of the Bubi people, have said that the primary theme of the Bubi religion is bad spirits or demons. We say this isn't correct. This assertion erroneously arises from the errant concept of the meaning of the terms mmo and morimó, which mean the human soul separated or the spirit of a deceased person.
Bommó and borimó is the site, in general, where the souls of the deceased are reunited. It can embrace, thus, lobakoppuá (heaven) and ommó ich'erié (hell). Thus, then, bajula is not the same as morimó. Bajula is pure spirit and morimó is the soul of the dead. Bajula bèbè is an angel. Bajula abé means demon. Morimó moemoe means blessed soul, and morimó mobé, a soul condemned.
We said earlier that God abandoned man in view of the execrable sin that he committed. We also said that the Bubis believe that God himself creates human souls and later sells them to a morimó of an ancestor, who will always be his master and protector. To him he must give honor all his life. To him he will go for all his needs. He will be obligated to please him and offer him sacrifices when it is clear that he is aggravated. From him he hopes for happiness and well-being in this world, and he fears him as a slave to his master and lord.
God entrusts the physical rule of this world to the bajula, the superior spirits. Nevertheless, the rule of human souls he entrusts to the baribó, or souls of the heads of the diverse families that compose the Bubi race. The reason for this unique theology relies on, simply, that people will give more care and greater interest in the conservation, magnification and perfection of their own things. That is, the heirs of a family or lineage will work with greater zeal and efficacy for the conservation and prosperity of their own. They also claim that the souls of the deceased in the other world are quite informed of all that occurs in their respective families. It is from here that they believe as unquestionable facts: Rupé nèttè e baesó bocho, boae o mmo a bo ori. ("God himself creates the man, but the souls of one's own family buy it.") A Rupé a le eeria a banna, boae e le oddò. ("God gave me life, but in death he buys me.") A baribó ba pur' ommó ba l'eka a loko lamma. ("The souls of the dead from the other world follow all that happens in this world.") Morimó okòne B. mmo le okò. ("I belong to the spirit.") Morimó oróne. ("The spirit bought me.")
The Bubis divide the other world into three regions. The first is lobakoppuá, that is, God's own residence where he lives with the blessed angels. The second is ommó ich'orie, which is hell, where the rebellious angels and the souls of the wicked are tormented; and the third is ommó boeboe, or limbo, a place situated between heaven and hell. In this place happily live the souls of those who, dying in this mortal life, toil now for the common good.
No man or bad angel enters into heaven. God is there in his glory with the blessed angels who worship him and rejoice in him. In hell, bad angels and men suffer unheard of torments. In limbo live only good men, those who enjoy natural wealth, peace, and tranquillity. Here they live grouped in families under the fatherly direction of the first patriarch of each one of them. Their only occupation is to help and to favor those within their power, their family members who still remain in this exile. They celebrate festivals for their prosperity and are greatly distressed by their adversities.
God permits the bammó bèbè to live in places appointed on earth. Thus the great mmo Chibo lives in Pico Basa or Santa Isabel mountain, Esahá in Lake Claret, Lopelo in
Lake Loreto, Lombe in the lagoon of his name in Balacha, and Ole in the depths of the Tudela River. The spirit Moalala lives in the grotto of Riasaká, Ebachú in the mountains of his own name, also called the San Carlos mountains, Jíoba in the cavern of Rebola, and Laja in the Baney cavern and Moeri mountain. There are so many others it would be a long-winded, meticulous chore to enumerate them.
The bajula abé can leave hell and go wandering where they please, but wherever they are they bring torment and work to destroy the good works of the barimó bèbè. When a sick person recovers his health, they say that he has beaten the morimó moemoe, and if he dies, the morimó mobé has won this victory.
45. Bojiammó
This word, literally, means one who worships the spirits. In this sense all the ancient Bubis, in general, were spirit worshippers. But, more specifically, it means a person devoted especially to the particular cult of one of the innumerable spirits that they have.
According to general belief, spirits reside in the island's important mountains, valleys, forests, trees, crags, lakes, lagoons, and rivers. Thus, bojiachiba is worshipper of the spirit Chiba; bojialaja, adorer of the spirit Laja; bojiamohalala, of the spirit Mohalala; mohiaole, of Ole, mojialombe, of Lombe, and that's enough, because they are innumerable.
In times that were, in each region there existed various bojiammó, some more powerful than others. They distinguished them in a singular manner. The bojiammó were held in high esteem: they assisted in all the assemblies, and their decisions, counsel, and resolution carried great weight. In serious illness, death, and notable calamities they alone were consulted to find out the cause of such and to know the best way to a terrible and complete revenge.
The general belief of all the blacks is that illness, death and other adversities afflicting humanity never come from God, but from spells and witchcraft practiced by perverse and malevolent persons.
In addition, the work of bojiammó was one of the best paid, inasmuch as all those who consulted him must present offerings of goats, chickens, yams, oil, palm wine, liquor, cognac, etc. No one came to him with empty hands or the bojiammó would give no answer. If the bojiammó gave counsel and ordered sacrifices to appease the spirits of grandparents, or to plead for the health of a sick person, or to ask the prosperous outcome of some battle or notable undertaking, he took away the victim's greatest and best share.
The great desires of the bojiammó consisted in consecrating and devoting himself in body and soul to the will of the spirit (mmó) of his particular devotion. To do this, he called with intense anguish to the spirit, invoking it with screams to take possession of him and enter his body: ba jorá be jeri choppo, which is to say that one vehemently desired to be an energumen, entirely possessed by the spirit. "Choppo" means crazy or possessed, inasmuch as the spirit that took possession of man made him crazy and he made incoherent and absurd sounds. I have seen that at times they talk and act utterly crazy or, better said, possessed or demon-possessed.
These outlandish cases were common in Rebola and Laka. In 1903 they celebrated in the settlements of Sampaka an eribó, a party and feast in deference to the protective spirit of that village. I went there, accompanied by the now-deceased Father Falgueras, and we saw a bojiammó choppo in the act of diabolic possession. He made such grimaces and faces, movements and actions, that his assistants contemplated him from a respectable distance. For those of us not accustomed to so strange a spectacle, it caused us such horror that we left that place.
He who aspires to bojiammó must fulfill very expressive and excessively superstitious ceremonies. The first, called losupo, is the designation of the spirit to which he must consecrate himself and worship in particular. Losupo is derived from o supa mmó, which is to determine one of the spirits. Afterward, he must go to the residence of the designated mmó, which could be a cave, a lagoon, a spring, a river or another site. A goat would be sacrificed in the name of the spirit, its blood sprinkled on the entrance and inside walls, on the edges, and the water of the lagoon, etc., and the remaining blood washed over his own body. He then cooked the meat and the yams separately, provided himself with abundant palm wine, and ended that which he celebrated with a sacred feast, assisting as meal companions the important men and women of the village. He built a small shelter without walls next to the supposed customary residence of the spirit. He was obligated to live in it for three nights and days, sleeping on the bare ground, with no protection from the damp air and night's chill. In its center, he burned a fire without flame to drive away mosquitoes and other bugs.
The three days of penitence elapsed, he returned to his village, where he built a rojia or adoration temple for the spirit. He surrounded it with a wall adorned with varied amulets, and in it he lived for a week, accompanied by male or female friends, according to whether the aspirant was man or woman.
To enter the rojia, they stripped themselves of their clothing, remaining as Adam and Eve, innocent while they lived inside. They smeared their bodies with ntola and a yellowish earth by the name of mpepa. During their seclusion in the adoration room they made daily sacrifices of chickens and sometimes goats to the spirit. At night they frightened away sleep by singing hymns to the mmó, the aspirant glazing with desire for the spirit to enter his head as soon as possible and possess him completely.
Here are some examples of their vehement wishes and desires for the spirit to enter into them, so that they may better feel the impulses and inspirations of the spirit and to act according to them: "Eh! Bochubo? Je, je, je. Eh, Bochubo! Eh, boobem! Eh, booberibó, boaeribó! Eh, booberibó! Eh, Echubó! ("Oh, Bochubó. Hey, hey, hey. Oh, Bochubó. Oh, my spouse. Oh, spirit spouse, you are among the spirits. Oh, spirit spouse. Oh, Echubó.") Ebetahá to beitole eh jura boekaká. Eh, ijerá ni peri nehoppo. ("To you we confess and we praise. Inspire your raven. Oh, we yearn to be possessed of you.") Eh, boaeribó e Chiba e mpoke me sipapa. ("Oh, spirits. Spirit of Chiba, you are strong as a winged bull.")
When they began to feel inspiration or that a spirit had seized them, which they call bojulera or mohulera, they screamed at the top of their voices: O leppa koppé e ra koé; oá, ne koppé, oá, ne koppé, opah' ommó, o paobio oá' ne koppé. ("Watch the hawk that eats chickens, say: I am hawk, I am hawk. Throw me to the ground and raise me on high and say: I am hawk.")
On some occasions they use an entirely figurative style that the common people don't understand. The witch doctor sings the final canticle and departs the hut adorned with leaves from a climbing plant. He runs, giving leaps and inarticulate screams through the village as if truly possessed by a demon. The afternoon of the same day he makes a banquet that only the bojiammó of the village attends. The next day he goes from house to house in the village to receive congratulations and well-wishes of the inhabitants, who honor the new witch doctor with small gifts of yams and chickens.
The Bubis divide the baribó or souls of the dead in an orderly hierarchy. In ascending order they are: Obtleppe o bommó ich' orié, hell of the condemned; and second, balepperibó, bariribó, the souls that for certain crimes are tied to big rocks or crags found in dense places in the woods. I have seen fields recently planted abandoned for having in their proximity one of these boulders that they consider evil because they believe some soul is tied to it and being punished. In the third hierarchy are the basokoari, or the souls of dead infants. In the fourth, the bantente, which are the souls of the young virgins or young girls. In the fifth level are the souls of women who died in their old age. The sixth is occupied by the barekaita, or souls of boys or very young men. In the seventh live the baolaribó, or the souls that act as guardian angels, buying other souls when God makes and sells them to be as the guardian angels of the same, which they give the name of boaribó. In the eighth category belong the bapoteribó, or spirits of those who in this world worked wonders, such as eating red-hot coals, or raising on high and flying without wings. These they consider the most noble. Finally, in the ninth we find the bateribó, who are, in general, the souls of the batukus or chiefs.
Thus, then, in the ommó or borimó, or country beyond the grave, there exists, according to the Bubis, nine hierarchies. Some claim that the souls of men are presided over by God, and those of the women by Bisila or Bariobadda.
46. Roóbo or Roómo
The Bubi is not only religious, but superstitious. Because of this, he places symbols of his religion in many places. We have said repeated times that his religion consists in the idolatrous worship of his ancestors' souls. Consequently, his symbols must be remains of the dead. A good practice among the Bubi: they never use human bones as symbols, as do other tribes on the nearby continent, but only plant and animal remains. The Bubi has deep respect for the mortal remains of his elders, and there never has been a case of sepulcher violation, a thing that is so common on the neighboring coast.
In times long passed, the cadavers of those who had been feared for their tyranny and cruelty were interred far from any population. And, so that the soul of the hated deceased would not return to molest his family and neighbors, we have already said how they used to bewilder it and, thus, it wouldn't know the road home. Nor did they believe themselves safe from their attacks and evils in spite of these precautions. To further throw the wicked one's soul off-track, they set fire to his house and the neighbors moved their residence to another site, not much distant, but more secure, according to their beliefs. Here is why in many places they have figures and conventional or arbitrary signs, to which they attribute superhuman virtues to repel and drive away spells and curses from perverse spirits. These signs or amulets are called roobo (N), and roomo (S). Nowadays the word has a broader significance, as it refers to anything that directly or indirectly relates to fetishism.
The Bubi wear personal amulets to protect themselves from evil spirits and curses. These include snake skeletons and skins: ebebe or ememe, and bebila or mebila. The ebebe has a reddish-color skin, great strength, and is nonvenomous. The bebila is deep black and extremely venomous. The ebebe represents beneficent spirits and the bebila malevolent spirits. They used to wear snake skeletons and skins around their waists, necks, and wrists. Antelope horns were hung from them, as well as small dried bones (toeha and toploma), knucklebones (tooso), sheep tails (beriba), and gourd necks (rubbé).
They profess great veneration and esteem for these amulets, and they believe in their effectiveness with the utmost faith.
They celebrate a festival called roobo ro botata. Three weeks ago the old women celebrated this festival, and one of them had worn a bebila snakeskin no less than five inches wide, rattan fibers, small shells (chibo), and beads (topotópotó.) In beads that surround their waists, necks and wrists, older children wear anklebones and antelope horns, and small, round, hard, ripe fruit by the name mpepele, which produces a liana. The rubbé, beriba, and mpepele are suitable amulets for pregnant women. If a woman notices miscarriage symptoms, she will tie a skin from one of the two snakes, which the bojiammó keeps on-hand for these and other such cases, around her abdomen. From the snakeskin she will hang her protective amulets, thus believing herself safe from such a mournful and grievous misfortune as losing her child.
There are, likewise, some amulets that are wedge-shaped snails called mpea, worn fastened with some palm filament (tutaneka), and soils of varied colors with which they paint themselves during festivals celebrated in honor of the spirits. Different parts of the body are painted, in particular the forehead, the shoulders, the navel (or mid-section), the wrists, the eyebrows and the instep of the foot. The common colors are yellow (npepa), dark yellow (siobo or siomo), and white (biacha). The pomade ntola is not an amulet, but they use it to soften the skin, keep away mosquitoes, and as a panacea for skin diseases. Between strings of chibo they add small, brightly colored porcelain shells (bibetébeté) that they wear for nahá, naká or ñangá, which is, adornment.
When a notable sacrificed goats to the souls of his ancestors, he wore its fat-filled intestines hanging from his neck for at least a week, suffering the repugnant, sickening stench and swarming flies. In village entrances they placed arches, from which they hung amulets such as feathers from pheasants (nkiso or moleo), from chicken (nkoe) and from other birds, with they planted sacred trees (iko). Small pots of sea water or rain are amulets (bobo), as are land snails (ntochi) and fruits that resemble a big tomato called esasaha. They place smooth rocks covered with copal resin (bejola or majola), in which small snails are adhered, inside doorways and houses, in particular those of sick persons, and these are also amulets.
In brief, amulets are everything that serve to free oneself from witchcraft, spells and curses, etc., which are the cause of illness, death, and the other calamities that afflict humanity.
The Bubi, as we have already said, is extremely superstitious. Wherever he goes or fixes his dwelling, he fears being subjected to evil influences from malignant spirits that lie in ambush for him and continuously pursue him. This is why they have innumerable amulets to defend their people, houses, villages, roads, plazas, rivers, and forests from the omnipotent malevolence of the baribó.
Anyone traveling years ago to the besés, or Bubi villages, observed an arch, sometimes two arches, about five to ten minutes outside the village entrance. These are called belakalaka or menakanaka, and are built either with trunks of tree-like ferns (bisihibisihi), or with living stalks, such as from the iko, the tuhulamoelo, or from the moeke. These arches were resplendent with all the luck of amulets. To the sides they might tie bundles of ditch reed (ripaho) or, driven into the ground, place three fern trunks to support a pot (sipanchi). At other times they made a circle of small stakes and filled its interior with rocks (ribaddobaddo). As the large villages consisted of neighborhoods separated by a strong stockade, at the entrance of each they planted spindly saplings of iko, mpilo, moeke, etc., which in time became corpulent trees. Inside their huts, in a corner, was a clay pot surrounded by small stakes driven into the ground. This pot was called sipanchi sa bajula, and was a rustic altar dedicated to the family's household gods. They put palm wine, sea water, or spring water in it. The same they put in pots at village entrances, plazas, and in the entrances to the main caves (moambo or bosila). In village plazas they built a small chapel to the village spirit with sacred trees (iko) joined to it, and sacred trees were planted next to meeting houses (bietcha), where the important men assemble.
With water that they put in these various pots, they made libations to the family's gods. With this water they asked that their generative virtue be always clean and incorruptible, that their wives not lose fertility, and that births continue with regularity, just as clean water runs from the spring.
In the intersections of the road (erinkoano) and before a drop-off to deep ravines and rivers, they plant a shoot of a sacred tree by the name sijulamoelo, which honors the rivers' and roads' guardian spirits. When a traveler arrives in front of the sijulamoelo, he must make an inclination with his head and give a robust kick in front of it with his right foot. Such ceremony appeases the spirits so they'll not cause falls and other mishaps. The Bubis are most zealous in preserving such practices and they execute them, it appears, with great faith.
It was during February of 1896 when we were returning to the heights of Batete from a grand ripelo celebrated for the motuku of Ríohoricho of Balacha, called Mommó. We were traveling along the road with faithful friends, happy and in animated conversation about the event and our impressions of the big feast, when suddenly they fell silent. We had arrived at the escarpment of the Endá River, or Balombe ravine, where there was a sijulamoelo. Each man, one after the other, began the Bubi rite in front of a stalk planted on the escarpment. He that writes this had just recently arrived to these lands, and I laughed at the ceremony, which seemed strange and ridiculous. We descended without mishap until the bottom of the ravine, where the deep river bed was covered with slippery stones. I was wearing shoes with studs and I slipped and found myself flat on my back on the ground. They ran to lift me up, asking if I had been injured. I responded that I was fine. They told me: "We are happy that it is so, but Father, be informed that the morimó of the river has punished you for having ridiculed and laughed at us when we made reverence to the morialera to keep him favorable."
In this manner there are sacred woods, palm groves, and palm trees where it is illegal to cut firewood, extract palm wine or oil, or to cut palm leaves without permission of the ehebí. A daring or impudent non-believer will not avoid severe punishment from the spirits. In such places there generally are some tall, wedge-shaped rocks fixed firmly in the ground. Those that one finds near palm trees and palm plants they call barekaita. These rocks also face the sipanchi sa bajula, which the winemakers fill with palm wine each day. They pour out the old wine, asking the spirit who resides there to bestow them with abundant wine and oil and to prevent falls from palm trees.
The rocks one may find in forests where there are no palm trees have the name of boariribó or moaririmó. These woods are the most respected and there is no Bubi who dares to start a cocoa farm in them. They are in the custom of planting a bush called bojéddejédde next to these rocks, and a little farther away from them is a line of small rocks (ribaddobaddo ra maté).
Near Balombre is a sacred forest where one finds a moaririmó or rock owned by a spirit. I went up to this village accompanied by a Yaunde who wanted to be nationalized on the island and to plant a field for himself and his family. We arrived at this forest and I asked whose it was. They told me that it belonged to no one. I told my companion: "You can ask for the land from the governor for your farm." Upon hearing this, the Bubis threatened the Yaunde with the ire of all the village spirits and, and as the religion of Africans is essentially identical, that is, animistic, the Yaunde was so afraid he abandoned the project. Then I said: "Since everyone fears farming on this ground, I will order it cleared to plant a great banana grove for my associates." The Bubis immediately lodged protests: "What offense have you received from us that you would desecrate the moaririmó and bring calamities over our village?" I laughed and calmed them down, assuring them it had been only a jest to test them and tease them.
Bubi history tells that in ancient times there was a negligent and impious man who had the audacity to clear and farm a piece of land in which existed a moaririmó. It wasn't long before he suffered the penalties from his profanity and impiety. Overnight, a severe intestinal colic attacked his wife, killing her in a few moments, and the man died in a hunt, with no one to assist him.
In the woods are also sacred trees, those which no one may cut without first consulting the spirits and receiving their response. There are a variety of these trees, such as iko, lojela, boeke, basukésuké, borupérupé, buma, etc. The Bubis tell a story that they swear is true. A Monrovian had in his farm a very old buma tree (a ceiba tree) that had lost its largest branches during a tornado, causing much destruction to his cocoa plantation. To prevent more damage, without consulting with any person or spirit at all, he cut it down. Several days passed and he contracted an insidious and malignant disease that caused his sudden death. The Bubis, naturally, say that the illness and death were a severe punishment from the spirit of the buma or ceiba tree.
