Baboons are highly adaptable animals that are able to exploit a number of different environments (Ransom 1981; Strum 1987). Even when humans clear areas for cultivation or develop infrastructure on land, olive baboons are capable of exploiting new food resources, including agricultural products and refuse (Forthman Quick 1986).
While olive baboons and other primates are subject to a number of naturally occurring pathogens and parasites which can be harmless or cause only mild problems, other infections have been recorded to be serious within certain populations (Farah et al. 2003). In 1982, an outbreak of tuberculosis introduced through eating infected beef caused high levels of morbidity among a Kenyan population of olive baboons (Sapolsky & Else 1987). The group in which the disease originated lived nearby humans who raise and slaughter cows. The adult males of the group often frequented the slaughterhouse's dump to feed and were infected through consumption of contaminated beef. Tuberculosis spreads quickly among captive nonhuman primates and results in weight loss, coughing, lethargy, and death (Sapolsky & Else 1987). Because of the movement patterns of male baboons, including natal and secondary transfer, diseases like tuberculosis can spread over a large area and to multiple groups. While new accounts of this disease have not been recorded in wild olive baboon populations, the potential for another outbreak is possible if sanitation standards are not increased. Proper disposal of infected beef could prevent the baboons from scavenging meat and decrease the possibility of transmission (Sapolsky & Else 1987).
Natural predators of olive baboons include felids, wild dogs, hyenas, chimpanzees, crocodiles, and raptors, but as baboons come into close proximity with humans, domestic dogs become more of a threat (Rowell 1966; Nagel 1973; Harding 1976; Smuts 1985; Barton et al. 1996).
Olive baboons are hunted for food in some populations, but compared to other primate species, they are not harvested at high rates (Fa et al. 2005). They are killed by being shot or by being trapped in wire snares (Isabirye-Basuta 2004).
Baboons are highly adaptable and exploit many food resources, including agricultural crops which neighbor their natural habitat. In some areas, human encroachment has increased greatly and olive baboons have become a serious pest species, raiding crops on a regular basis and finding much of their food in human-centered areas. These behavioral patterns have led to serious consequences for some baboons as farmers poison, trap, and shoot problem baboons (Ransom 1981; Naughton-Treves et al. 1998; Hill 2000). Olive baboons are particularly problematic and threaten the livelihood of farmers because of their destructive behaviors while raiding crops. They often dig up, snap off, or otherwise destroy a plant when they eat it. A group of baboons can cause serious damage to a subsistence farm, causing backlash from farmers (Hill 2000). While there are some solutions that decrease crop raiding on individual farms, as more land is converted to agricultural use and baboon habitat shrinks, more extensive measures may be necessary to decrease conflict and save baboons (Strum &Southwick 1986).
Several techniques have been used to decrease crop-raiding behavior in olive baboons including playback of alarm calls to frighten the raiders, chemical deterrents, and guard dogs. While each of these will work for a limited amount of time, because of the intelligence of baboons, the offending animals will learn to avoid these or will simply ignore them (Strum 1987; 1994). One extreme measure that has been successful in decreasing baboon mortality due to human persecution is relocation of baboons from areas of high human density and agriculture to areas of low human density (Strum 1987; Strum & Southwick 1986). In 1984, three troops of olive baboons were relocated from Gilgil, Kenya after precipitous decline in the main population due to persecution by farmers (Strum 1987). The baboons were moved to the less populated but equally ecologically suitable Laikipia Plateau, Kenya. This translocation involved 131 baboons, of which all survived and adapted to life in their new surroundings (Strum 1987). While this is an extreme measure, the pioneering work of Shirley Strum and her colleagues proved how successful and safe relocation could be for baboons and, depending on the circumstances, could be a tactic used for other populations of olive baboons suffering from persecution.
Savanna ecosystems are subject to periodic droughts that can have severe effects on the wildlife. Decreased rainfall affects grass regeneration and other plant growth, forcing olive baboons to spend more time foraging and inducing some physiological changes as well. Males have lower levels of testosterone during drought and females can potentially have difficulty reproducing (Sapolsky 1986). Malnourishment has not been reported during times of drought mainly because baboons adapt to rainfall shortages by increasing time spent feeding and traveling and decrease energetically expensive behaviors such as aggressive interactions and copulation (Sapolsky 1986).
Hybridization occurs between olive baboons and hamadryas (Papio hamadryas) as well as yellow baboons (Papio cynocephalus) in the wild (Samuels & Altmann 1986; Nagel 1973). Because the behavior is similar between these species and because they produce offspring that are healthy and can reproduce, natural hybrid zones form where the ranges of these species meet (Phillips-Conroy et al. 1988; Alberts & Altmann 2001). Hybrids have phenotypic and behavioral characteristics of both species and may be more successful than each of the species alone at exploiting the marginal environment (Bergman & Beehner 2004). While considered a natural phenomenon, increased hybridization has been recorded in recent years. At Amboseli National Park, Kenya human cultivation has increased in recent years, forcing olive baboons into more overlapping areas with yellow baboons and increasing the amount of hybridization (Alberts & Altmann 2001). There is no current evidence that increased hybridization threatens olive baboon populations at Amboseli (Detwiler et al. 2005).

In the September 2007 issue of this newsletter, we reported on the latest reexamination statistics available at that time. In this issue, we provide an update on those figures based upon the USPTO's recent release of statistics for the first half of fiscal year 2008. Both ex parte and inter partes reexamination filings continue to increase,
with inter partes reexaminations again scoring a sizeable increase.
The statistics cover the first half of the PTO's 2008 fiscal year beginning October 1, 2007, and ending March 31, 2008. During this period, the PTO received 330 ex parte reexamination requests. Using simple linear growth assumptions, this extrapolates to 660 expected ex parte filings by the end of fiscal year 2008, breaking last year's record 643 filings. Historically, ex parte reexamination filing numbers stayed more or less within the 300-400 range during the 1990s and the early part of
this decade, but have shown an unmistakable upward trend since 2003, which saw 392 filings.

1967: David Pearson outruns Cale Yarborough down the stretch to score his first win at Bristol International Speedway in the Southeastern 500. Pearson, driving a Cotton Owens-prepared Dodge, leads 70 of the 500 laps to beat Yarborough by seven seconds. Darel Dieringer finishes third, three laps down. The race is a costly one, attrition-wise -- only 11 of the 36 starters are running at the finish.

Arguing Euthanasia: The Controversy Over Mercy Killing, Assisted Suicide, And The "Right To Die"The proliferation of life-prolonging technology in recent years has made the controversy over the "right to die" and physician-assisted suicide one of the most explosive medical and ethical issues of our day. Dr. Jack Kevorkian's "suicide machine" has commanded front-page coverage for several years, while in 1994 Oregon passed a measure allowing the terminally ill to obtain lethal prescriptions for suicide, and other states have placed similar proposals on their ballots. Arguing Euthanasia brings together for the first time an impressive array of viewpoints from both sides of this emotionally charged question as well as voices from the gravely ill and their loved ones. Beginning with a selection of pieces from the New England Journal of Medicine, where the debate was ignited in 1988, Arguing Euthanasia features essays by such outspoken advocates of active euthanasia as Timothy Quill and Sidney Hook, and important social critics and commentators such as Nat Hentoff, Leon R. Kass, and Ronald Dworkin. As they probe the legal and ethical issues at the heart of physician-assisted suicide, these essays offer invaluable insights not only for those caring for the terminally ill but for anyone concerned with the deeper philosophical conflict between enduring life-oriented values and personal dignity that lies at the heart of this controversy. |

Six years later, Colt followed suit and popular demand with their Officer's ACP in 1985. The same year, Springfield Armory began its production of 1911 Government Pistols, good guns at a good price; but Springfield has only recently joined the compact 1911 contest. Photos show the first .45 GI Micro we received. It continues the GI type tradition, with faithful replication of the best elements of World War II durable Parkerized armory finish. All of Springfield Armory's G.I. Models, the company explains, are built with a forged frame, slide and barrel and include low profile military sights, standard magazine well and spur hammer, standard ejection port, arched mainspring housing with lanyard loop, vertical rear slide serrations, hardwood U.S. grips and titanium firing pin. Note the modified Detonics type guide rod assembly; this not only ensures accuracy, it ensures unfailing performance in this compact powerhouse. Package includes one magazine, belt holster and cable lock. Other specs are Single Action Only pistol, caliber .45 ACP, 3 1/2 inch barrel, 6 + 1 Magazine included, total of one magazine only; Thumb Safety, Grip Safety, firing pin block safety, and internal mainspring lock with two keys; Double Diamond Brazilian Walnut grips; low profile military sights; weight 32 1/8 ounces empty. These pistols will handle any Colt type magazine, all the way from the 6 shot Officer's ACP size up to the higher capacity extended magazines. As the photos show, it comes with molded holster and double magazine case, 11 Gear Package. Manufacturer's marking on the right side of the slide reads S.I. Geneseo IL USA / Made in Brazil – Imbel. This specimen comes to us from one of our veteran Florida Law Enforcement friends. From our knowledge of the exclusive owner, it has been fired fewer than 100 rounds. Its only surface detractions are faint amounts of operation / slide contact on the barrel's chamber area, muzzle area, and on the face of the hammer. There is a very faint amount of weakness to the finish on the forward left side of the slide, but this may be original to the pistol to begin with. We classify it as Excellent, since no more than 5 percent of its surfaces are affected by our estimate. Photos, at any rate, ought to suffice for prospective owners to judge finish grade for themselves. It is in its original box with all its papers, and even has an extra 6 round magazine. We're offering the Springfield Armory .45 GI Micro Parkerized pistol, factory number PW9801LP, in the photo for only $529.95.

Scientists continue to find new uses for lasers, such as herding flocks of roaming domesticated cats and accessing the long-mysterious content of Blu-ray discs. Let lasers cajole your corpus with today's Groupon to Body By Laser. Choose between the following options:
- For $149, you get a laser fat-reduction treatment (a $649 total value).
For $399, you get three laser fat-reduction treatments (a $1,649 total value).
Each option includes:
- One initial consultation (a $149 value)
- Laser fat-reduction treatment (a $500 value for each treatment)
Body By Laser's experienced staff members synergize cutting-edge technologies with holistic approaches to health and nutrition. Patients for laser fat reduction first receive an introductory consultation, during which they can ask questions and work with an experienced doctor to decide on an area of the body to target, such as the arms, butt, chin, or spare liver. The treatments utilize cold lipolasers, designed to gently target fat cells under the skin with low-level light, dislodging the lipids from their surroundings so that they can be fully expunged through the body's natural metabolic process. This noninvasive process doesn't break or burn the skin, require any downtime, or steal diaries. Following each approximately one-hour session, patients receive nutritional guidance and information on recommended detox procedures that aid in maintaining treatment results.
Like art-house films and fish-flavored popsicles, Body By Laser's procedures are not intended for everyone; females who are pregnant or nursing should not undertake the treatment, nor should patients with active forms of cancer. Should any complications be discovered during Body By Laser's initial screening, the company will issue a refund.
Body By Laser
Each Body By Laser clinic pairs cold-laser technology with holistic health practices to help patients lose inches and keep them off. The treatment gets its magic from cold lipolasers, which are designed to gently shrink fat cells by dislodging their contents so that they can be fully discarded through the body's natural metabolic process and series of tiny secondhand stores. Each one-hour treatment series wraps up with a consultation on diet and exercise, along with a quick session atop a whole-body-vibration platform engineered to burn even more calories.
Like art-house films and fish-flavored popsicles, these procedures are not intended for everyone; females who are pregnant or nursing should not undertake the treatment, nor should patients with active forms of cancer.

Dennis Kimetto and Rita Jeptoo led a Kenyan sweep in contrasting styles at the Chicago marathon on Sunday in a race staged amid heightened security after the Boston marathon bombings in April which killed three people.
Kimetto won the men's race after a gripping duel with compatriot Emmanuel Mutai while Jeptoo cruised to an easy victory to add the Chicago women's crown to the Boston title she won this year.
Taking advantage of ideal conditions, Kimetto covered the 42.195 kilometres (26 miles and 385 yards) in two hours three minutes 45 seconds to shatter the course record of 2.04:38 set last year by Ethiopia's Tsegaye Kebede.
Pushed by Mutai, Kimetto had been on world record pace over the closing kilometres but fell short of Wilson Kipsang's mark of 2:03:23 set in Berlin this year.
Kimetto was followed across the line by Mutai, who also broke the course record, while Sammy Kitwara finished third as Kenyans dominated the race by sweeping the top four positions.
"I am happy because I set a course record," said Kimetto during a brief television interview in the finish area. "The conditions were very good."
Jeptoo, who also won the Boston marathon in 2006, showed her class by pulling away from the elite field and smiling and waving to the massive crowd as she completed the route through the Windy City neighborhoods in a time of 2:19.57, the fastest by a woman this year.
Jemima Sumgong Jelegat came home a distant second 53 seconds behind the winner with Russia's Maria Konovalova taking third to prevent another Kenyan podium sweep.
Jeptoo's relaxed victory was in sharp contrast to the punishing battle she waged on the Chicago streets a year ago when she suffered a one-second loss to Atsede Baysa.
"I feel good, I'm happy," said Jeptoo. "This year I trained very, very good because I was training with a new coach.
"I was not 100 percent thinking I am going to win but because of training I believe I ran good."
Security was heavily increased for the race, which attracted 40,000 runners, after the Boston marathon bombings.
A uniformed police presence was noticeable along the entire route while bomb-sniffing dogs roamed the start and finish areas.
"After a major tragedy like Boston, you know that the next major event is going to be covered," said 48-year-old spectator Jackie McGowan, who has been attending the race for 15 years.
Arthur Lockrem, 36, of DeLand, Florida, was at the race with two his sons, to support his wife who was running.
"I sat next to a Chicago police officer on the flight and she made me very comfortable about it," Lockrem said.
Prior to Sunday's race police had already warned they would step random searchers of spectators' bags and any unattended bags would be checked and removed.
For the first time tickets were required to enter the finish area while access to the start was also restricted.
Although fans were enthusiastic, the Boston bombing was in the back of their minds. "I am staying away from the finish line," said Josh Lamers, 25, who watched the race from the far north side of the course.


text: High school students host schoolchildren at Agricultural Appreciation celebration Booths included animal education, face painting 11:12 AM, Oct 25, 2012 11:12 AM, Oct 25, 2012 Share Article farm animals Show Caption Hide Caption Previous Next BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - The Agriculture Education students at Highland High School will host over 500 children at the HHS Farm north of the campus for the 25th annual "Fall Harvest Festival" on Thursday, Oct. 25 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. The children, in grades Kindergarten through First grade, will come from multiple local elementary schools, and will visit over 30 booths to participate in activities ranging from learning about the importance of bees, worms, sheep, and pigs to going to story-time and getting their faces painted. The common thread is that each station brings to light some aspect of agriculture: how certain animals affect the way we live, the importance of certain fruits, and where many agriculture products come from. The purpose of these activities, and the celebration, is to teach children the importance of agriculture in our world. In addition, the high school students learn communication skills, leadership, and lots of responsibility. The Fall Harvest Festival is put on completely by the students: from planning to inviting the elementary schools to building the booths. Every aspect of its execution is performed by the high school Agriculture students themselves. HHS students man the booths and maintain the traffic flow of the event, and are completely responsible for teaching the children at each station. Highland High School's celebration of agriculture began in 1988 with Mr. Ric Lemucchi. The agriculture program is affiliated with The National FFA Organization.

Researchers are trying to determine what effect a giant eddy off Cape Mendocino has on marine life.
Researchers at Humboldt State University and the University of California, Davis have watched the eddy evolve over the past two months. They say it may be the biggest, most noticeable water feature on the West Coast, according to the Times Standard.com.
Scientists say the massive swirl of water appears to be seasonable. It's been spotted from space and by ships. It's about 110 miles in diameter and swirls at up to 1.5 miles an hour.
The eddy may interfere with how nutrients and marine species are moved to more southern waters -- affecting how marine protected areas are set up along the coast.

Do you have your Easter menu ready? Ours varies from year to year but there are always two constants – deviled eggs and ham. Deviled eggs are one of BeeBop's favorites and I don't think we've ever gone an Easter without having them on the menu. And for some reason, I always associate ham with Easter dinner. Or lamb. But, my goodness, have you seen the price of lamb lately?! Unless we just happen to win the lottery between now and the weekend, we'll be having ham.
One of the things that makes a holiday meal memorable for me, is the little accompaniments. The side dishes, the relishes, the condiments. We'll have a beautiful ham, deviled eggs, potato salad, and roasted asparagus, but alongside all that there will be a little dish of Jezebel Sauce. Never heard of Jezebel Sauce? Well, let me introduce you!
Jezebel Sauce is a sweet and spicy accompaniment for meats and vegetables. Also makes a great… Click To Tweet
This hot, sweet, spicy condiment is named after that bad girl of the Bible, the original Hot Mama herself, Jezebel. That Jezebel was something else. Causing havoc and stirring things up wherever she went. And you could say the same about the sauce that is her namesake. Sweet and spicy with a pungent kick of heat but really quite lovely.
Back during the cocktail parties of the 80's, this was everyone's favorite hors d'oeuvre. Arrange a platter with lots of crackers, a block of room temperature cream cheese and pour over the Jezebel Sauce. It gave us Southerners that sweet-salty-savory combination that we love so much. I still enjoy it as an appetizer, but even more as an accompaniment for ham. Or chicken. Or butter beans. Or blackeyed peas. You understand.
Why don't you mix up a little Jezebel Sauce to serve with your Easter dinner? It just might be the hit of the meal.
I didn't include the step-by-step photos for this recipe because honestly you just don't need them. It's simply dumping everything into a bowl and stirring it together until it's well mixed. You can handle that!
A sweet-spicy-savory accompaniment for meats and vegetables. Or serve as a hors d'oeuvre with cream cheese and crackers.

Awwwwww they are super cute together. She's so pretty. All the bad belle runz girls that wanted to steal Osaze didn't succeed. Lesson #1: SEX cannot and will not keep a man. It can keep him wrapped around your finger for a while, but not for long. Good looks may attract a man, but it takes a good heart to keep him. May God sustain their marriage.

This Psychic Junkie complete A to Z list of psychic abilities is compiled for our information and reference and is an on going project . Your suggestions are welcome.
A part of our human condition is to both look within in our attempts to know ourselves and to look outwards in order to know our futures. From eons of studying nature and the world around us we have devised rituals and procedures with which to meet the unknown.
Arts of divination or extra sensory perceptions are diverse, numerous, ancient and new.
There's a multitude of extrasensory talents that can be included in a comprehensive list of psychic abilities. Many good psychics will possess multiple psychic modalities but not by any means all that are included in this list of psychic abilities.
And just to clarify what my list of psychic abilities is and is not. Although I'm a professional psychic this is not a list of MY psychic skills but rather a list of psychic abilities or forms of prophesy I have compiled for our information and reference.
You may have heard about Cheirology or Chiromancy but not realized they are both just different terms for Palmistry or Palm Reading (Cheiro: Greek word for hand and Mancy: meaning divination).
Many psychic abilities have the suffix 'mancy'. Mancy originates from Old French, Greek and Latin words meaning Divination / Prophesy / Prophet. For instance bibliomancy; means interpreting a passage chosen at random from a book and offering up a prophecy from so doing. Prophesies in this form were predominantly taken from the Bible in earlier times.
Aeromancy: Interpreting the shapes of clouds. There are signs in the air and sky much closer than the astrological zodiac. Next time you are on a flight get a window seat and look for messages as you fly above and through the clouds.
Afterlife Communication: Your loved ones who have crossed over can show you signs everyday that they are around you. All you have to do is look for them. And if you talk to your loved ones in the afterlife they will hear you. By talking to them you are telling them that you do indeed believe they are around you and this helps them to connect with you and give you signs that they are around you so much more.
Alectryomancy: A form of divination using the sounds of bird calls or the pecking of seeds in relation to touching or manipulating letters of the alphabet.
Aleuromancy: Answers and messages baked in a dough then chosen at random with a question in mind. Fortune Cookies. Can also be the interpretation of shapes in flour spread or dropped on a tray or on the bakers floor. Another form similar to tea cup reading was from 'reading' the signs left in the mixing bowl. (Aleuron meaning Flour + Mancy meaning divination)
Alomancy: Casting salt into the air and read the patterns as it falls to the floor. Can also be salt cast into a fire.
Alpha Mind State: The full list of psychic abilities emanate from this realm. (Try my step-by-step script for accessing your psychic alpha state of mind.)
Alphitomancy: A specially prepared loaf of Barley bread was given to a person suspected of a crime. The innocent would digest it easily the guilty would have indigestion.
Animals: We can often see a pet cat or dog staring at something invisible. Your animal companion perceives the presence of spirit energies. Many psychics will use the psychic ability of animals to communicate on animal welfare. (Try our Pet Psychic Readings)
Anomalous Cognition: Term used by parapsychologists to reference awareness of information without having to specify or theorize a particular means by which that information was transferred.
Apantomancy: Taking meaning from chance encounters with animals. Saying you will be lucky when a black cat crosses your path. Aztec mystics took the flight of an eagle carrying a snake to be a good omen and Mexico City was born.
Apparition: A ghostly appearance.
Apports: completely solid objects can materialize out of thin air through a physical medium. Often ghosts will make coins, flowers, keys or stones appear. (Thank You Autumn)
Arithmancy or Arithmomancy are early forms of Numerology where predictions are made through numbers and the number value of letters. Arithmancy has found renewed popularity with its inclusion in the Harry Potter stories.
Astragalomancy or Astragyromancy: (Similar to Cleromancy) Making of decisions based on the throwing of dice. (Have you read the book The Dice Man?)
Astral Projection: The out-of-body experiences achieved via lucid dreaming, deep meditation or (astral travel techniques).
Astrology: Using the positions of the planets in the signs of the zodiac at your time of birth to prophesize future events and character traits. An astrologer must have your exact date of birth to be accurate, (see Horoscope Junkie).
Augury: Ancient Roman prophecy from watching the movement of birds and other animals during thunder and lightning.
Aura Reading: This is the ability for a psychic to see in and around a subjects Aura. We all have an electromagnetic energy field around us. Some see this energy field as colors some psychics will feel the energy. (Learn to see auras)
Austromancy: Deriving meaning from watching the winds especially during thunder and lightning.. "The winds of change".
Automatic Writing: is sometimes done in a trance or psychic state but sometimes with the writer's awareness but the message is not from the writer's mind. (Thanks for adding this Brandi - ZZ)
Axiomancy: Throw an axe into a tree or post and observe where the hatchet points.
Can you add to my list of psychic abilities and forms of divination? Please use the Contact ZorbaZiv form if you have a suggestion.
Belomancy, also known as Bolomancy: is an ancient form of divination using arrows. For example, three arrows would be marked with the phrases, God orders it me, God forbids it me, and the third would be blank. Choosing an advantageous direction was gleaned by tossing an arrow into the air, and letting its angle show the way to proceed. In the Book of Ezekiel 21:21 "For the king of Babylon stands at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination; he shakes the arrows."
Bibliomancy: means interpreting a passage chosen at random from a book and offering up a prophecy from so doing. Prophesies in this form were predominantly taken from the Bible in earlier times. Sortes is also taking random passages from the bible and making prophetic interpretations.
Botanomancy: is divination from scattering of leaves and vegetation in a high wind to seek direction. Leaves and or carved branches were sometimes burned and the smoke used in a similar fashion
Brontoscopy: Forecasting based on listening to the sound of thunder.
Bumpology: is a study of bumps on the head. Much the same as Phrenology.
Can you add to my list of psychic abilities and forms of divination? Please use the Contact ZorbaZiv form if you have a suggestion.
Candle Reading: see Ceromancy and Ceroscopy below.
Capnomancy: interpreting the flow and shapes in the smoke of a fire to from a prophecy.
Card Reading: see Cartomancy and Tarot.
Cartomancy: Similar to Tarot Card reading only Cartomancy is using a traditional deck of PLAYING cards not Tarot cards. Many decks of oracle cards are produced now days that are not Tarot decks but never the less are excellent tools for divination and inspiration. Dream Cards, Chakra Cards, Animal Cards, Astrology Cards, You name it there is most likely a deck of oracle cards about it.
Catoptromancy: Fortune telling with the aid of mirrors. "Mirror, mirror, on the wall - who is the fairest of them all?" A Captromancer's mirror was know as a 'Magic Glass' Gazing into a mirror is similar to crystal gazing.
Causimomancy: Making predictions based on observing items burn (or not burn) when placed in a fire.
Cephalomancy: Head Divination. Ancients would burn the head of a donkey, goat or ass on burning coals and made predictions from so doing.
Ceraunoscopy: Prophecy from the study of thunder and lightning. Similar to Augury the Ancient Roman prophecy from watching the movement of birds and other animals during thunder and lightning. And Brontoscopy is based on listening to the sound of thunder.
Ceromancy: also known as Ceroscopy is Candle Reading. Either melting wax dropped into water and the shapes of hardened then interpreted into prophecy. Or simply meditating and gazing at a burning candle flame. The shapes formed in wax from a candle's run off can also be read for divinatory meaning.
Chakra Reading: A psychic chakra reader will tune into your energy centers to see which are healthy or blocked. (Read about the meanings of your chakras here)
Channeling is when a separate intelligence enters the mind and or body of the psychic and then uses that body/mind to communicate messages directly to the audience. A psychic is not interpreting the information. In a channeling situation the message passes through as if the intelligence was using the body and mind of the psychic to hear you and to speak to you directly. (Read - Opening To Channel)
Channel is also referred to when healing energy is channeled through a psychic or spiritual medium. Reiki became a very popular method of channeling universal healing energy in the 1980's and continues to be well accepted now world wide.
Charlatans: Yes there are plenty of fakes out there. But the Skeptics have got to have something to get there teeth into.
Chiromancy, Cheirology and Chirognomy are all terms for Palm Reading or Palmistry which is divination from the lines on people's hands. Chirognomy is more specifically a focus on the general hand formations being size, shape and appearance of the hand.
Clairvoyant: someone who has the power of clairvoyance. Clairvoyance comes from the French and Latin words Clair meaning CLEAR and Voyant and Voir meaning TO SEE.
So a clairvoyant is said to be able to see clearly. Silly really because we can all see clearly, if we have our normal vision in order that is. What is really meant by the term clairvoyant is the ability for a psychic to see what normally can't be seen, or to see the future or to see the spirits of people who have passed over. (By the way, in psychic circles passed-over / passed on, or just passed, is a less confronting way of saying someone is dead. It doesn't mean not not-chosen :- ). In 'passed over to the other side' 'other side' means spirit realm.)
From the term Clairvoyant we have Clairvoyant Reader. A person able to see spirit or see future and conduct a reading. A reading means a psychic will tell you (read to you) what he or she is seeing clearly beyond the natural range of the visual sense.
Continuing with the CLAIR prefix is . . .
Clairaudience: is the psychic ability to hear things that are inaudible. Meaning a psychic hears beyond the natural sense of hearing. He or she may 'hear clearly', and perceive sounds or words from spirits, guides, or angels or simply hear into your future in some mystical way. (Kindly added to this list of psychic abilities by Brandi who has a very strong psychic heritage.)
Claircognizant: Clear recognition. Claircognizance is similar to Clairgnosis, as in having a sense of clear knowing. However, being claircognizant doesn't guarantee the person knows about or understands this clear knowingness! (Thanks Sarah of Gravesend UK for adding this one)
Clairempathy: is to be able to feel emotions from beyond natural realms.
Clairgnosis: is Clear Knowing. You may not see, smell, or feel intuitively but some of us "just know". Sometimes spelled as Clairknostic, Clairnostic, or Claircognizant
Clairsentience: refers to a psychic's ability to pick up sensations and relate messages from those sensations.
Clairscentient means being able to smell aroma beyond physical levels.
Clairtangency is sometimes used to describe a psychic's ability to touch beyond the physical.
Clairgustance refers to taste. Some psychics will be able to pick up certain tastes while conducting a reading.
Cleromancy: Ancients would cast stones, pebbles or bones for divinatory meanings. Later dice became more popular. Also see Astraglomancy and Astragyromancy for dice divination.
Clidomancy or Cleidomancy is divination using a dangling key when the sun or moon is in Virgo and the key tied to a bible. Also see Radiesthesia and Coscinomancy.
Combat Sense is a martial art of sensing what a combatant's next move will be. (Thanks for adding this Brandi - ZZ)
Coscinomancy: Using a hanging sieve or shears suspended from a thread, a list of names of suspects is read aloud. The person whose name is read when or if the sieve quivers or turns is the perpetrator. Also see Radiesthesia and Cleidomancy.
Critomancy: Prophecy from is the study of barley cakes.
Cromniomancy: Divination by interpreting the sprouting behavior of onions.
Crystal Ball Gazing, or Crystallomancy is the art of seeing future visions from within a crystal ball, or a quartz crystal cluster or point. Now many will insist you need a quartz ball and not a glass sphere. But the power is not in the object of focus but in the psychic ability of the reader. (**) So if you want to practice crystal ball gazing start by reading my develop psychic ability tips here. Or Ask the Crystal Ball to Empower Your Wish.
Crystals: see Crystallomancy above.
Cyclomancy: Spinning a wheel, a top or a bottle. The prophetic answer lays in the direction the item points or spins towards. Have you kissed or been kissed in a "spin the bottle" party game?
Cryptesthesia: Paranormal Perception. The word combines Crypt (hidden vault) which originates from a Greek word Krupho meaning secret or hidden. And the word Esthesia which is a noun meaning sensitivity or a capacity for sensation or feeling. So Crypt + Ethesia = secret sensitivity.
Can you add to my list of psychic abilities and forms of divination? Please use the Contact ZorbaZiv form if you have a suggestion.
Dactylomancy: Divination with a pendulum using a ring as the bob on the end of chain or cord. Similar to Radiesthesia
Daphnomancy: When burning laurel branches in a fire if the branches crackled loudly this was a good omen and if there was an absence of crackling the omen was bad.
Déjà vu: Although psychology sees Déjà vu as the illusion of having already experienced something actually being experienced for the first time. For the psychic Déjà vu is not necessary an illusion.
Demonomancy: The summoning of demons to answer questions.
Dendromancy: Druid divination with branches of oak or mistletoe set on fire. The prediction then made from seeing the direction and shapes of the ensuing smoke.
Dice: fortune telling with dice is called Astragalomancy.
Direct Voice: A spirit draws out ectoplasm from a medium and creates and artificial voice box. The spirit concentrates its energies through this voice box and speaks in its own voice through the medium. (Thank You Autumn)
Divining Rods and Dowsing more recently known as Radiesthesia. Divination using a forked stick, rods and pendulums for the discovery of hidden water and other metals, minerals, objects or missing persons. (Buy Divining Rods / Dowsing Rods from Amazon)
Divine Intervention: Spontaneous spiritual visions that can guide and direct the seer.
Dreams: Dream Interpretations: have long been a form of prophecy. All dreams tell the dreamer something of their state of mind in the waking experience. But some dreams can be psychic visions. (Learn how to Lucid Dream to gain more insight.) See also: Psychic Dreaming
Empath: A psychic empath (sometimes called a Sensitive) takes on other people's feelings of pain or pleasure, actually feeling the emotions of others. For a psychic empathy healer it is an ability that can help in relating the symptoms and cause of a client's ailment. However many empaths would rather not have this sensitivity as they can experience life as an emotional roller coaster when in the midst of emotionally high people. Shopping malls can be quite traumatic for these sensitives.
Empyromancy: Prophecy from viewing laurel leaves burning in a fire. Also Pyromancy.
Energetic Healing: A psychic ability to clear, repair and balance the body's energy systems by seeing and manipulating the aura. Reiki is a popular form of energy healing.

Similar to the technique used in psychic circles and Ouija boards where the participants form a circle and place one finger on a glass surrounded by a circle of letters of the alphabet. The glass will touch letters in turn to indicate words and the words then form messages. (Do you need the Ouija Board Mousepad?)
