The Heaton family minus Dad, who had to work, were there and pleased to see the friends we had made during the summer. The lads played a silly game of skittles whilst the elders tackled a quiz from John "Brentford" Hood. After a hot pot supper Tim "Minus Sunglasses" McKiernan handed out booklets, well actually Coach O'Rourke did the handing over, to each player individually with a nice comment about their season. The booklets contained Tim's report, the results plus averages along with a set of Primary Records going back for 20 years. After that little bit we were told to sit down as Tim had a big surprise for us. He had promised something at the start of the evening. Lo and behold who should walk into the room but Karl Brown clutching in his hands the LV County Championship Trophy. Well done Tim – a coupe of epic proportions. So everyone got to touch the trophy and in most cases have their picture taken with it. Tim had arranged for a proper photographer to do the business but there were many amateur ones taken as well. My missus' camera's batteries went down before we could even take one so for now I have had to rely on Sophie's iPhone snaps. When the official pics become available I will put them on the Blog. Karl could remember his Under 11 days and the get together they had at Atherton Cricket Club. He is one of the players in the Championship winning team who went all the way through our system starting with the Primary team in 1998 and 1999. He even took a copy of the Booklet away with him. In the list of 50 plus scores he features four times Karl Brown 74 v Kent in 1998 Karl Brown 74 v Sussex in 1999 Karl Brown 67 v Derbyshire in 1999 Karl Brown 63 v Staffordshirein 1999 He was ninth in the all-time list of run scorers in a season 621 Philip Neville in 1988 550 Andrew Flintoff in 1989 520 Michael Brown in 1991 455 Jonathan Clare in 1997 431 Callum Parkinson in 2008 417 Haseeb Hameed in 2007 416 Andrew Flintoff in 1988 395 Keith Barker in 1998 384 Karl Brown in 1999 Thanks Karl for making everyone's night last night and good luck in Sri Lanka in the New Year. Can anyone tell me who else from the 2011 County Championship squad went all the way through from the Primary Squad. ??? Tim – Brilliant !! No we did not win the quiz. I have been to headquarters today to see Andy Hayhurst. When I came out of his office to go home I found Dipesh and Titch having a little laugh. I had been telling them about how much I was enjoying doing the blog and that I might just be ready to try some movies. They had been seeking something "appropriate" and played it for me. Dipesh has even shown me how to provide a link on the website. If I get it right then the link at the bottom of the page should work. Right now I need to upload the blog, dust myself off and get up to Walshaw and collect Tom and take him to guess where – Old Trafford – and his first net Skills Net Session.

Information Security is EVERYONE'S Responsibility!
The February 12, 2001 Computerworld article is titled: "University Computers Remain Hacker Havens". This article describes how computers on various university campuses were used to launch full-scale denial-of-service attacks in February last year which disabled high-profile web sites such as Yahoo!, E*Trade, and eBay. And more importantly, it identifies some of the reasons why university computers are vulnerable targets of hackers. One of the reasons cited is "University IT departments don't have responsibility for securing the research machines - and it's not clear who does have that responsibility." In reality, we ALL share that responsibility. Information security is EVERYONE'S responsibility! There are steps that you can take to protect your computer.
Any desktop computer or server could be used to host viruses, trojan horses, and other malicious programs. We all should be aware of the security issues related to our daily use of computers. Here are some basic steps and precautions that you, as a computer user, can take to help secure your computer and to protect the integrity of information stored on it.
Beginning with physical security, some basic recommendations are to turn your system off at night and during the weekends, don't stay logged-in to your system or e-mail while you are not there, and use locking screen savers if you need to leave your system on and unattended for any prolonged length of time (a locking screen saver is built-in to Windows). An unattended, unlocked system allows anyone to walk up to your computer and access files and information (and potentially your e-mail) stored on your computer when you are not there.
Any computer that is connected to a network and "always on" may be vulnerable to intrusions when the system is turned on. There are readily available tools on the Internet that allow other people to scan your system for well-known vulnerabilities. You may want to consider installing a personal firewall on your system to track network activity with the caveat that the firewall will need to be properly configured and monitored to be effective and that an incorrectly configured firewall may interfere with your network usage.
Install anti-virus software and update virus definition files on a regular basis. The largest threat on the Internet is the propagation of viruses and malicious programs through e-mail. You should ensure that attachments are not automatically opened and/or executed and ensure that all attachments are scanned for viruses prior to opening them.
Install operating system (OS) and application patches. When OS and application vulnerabilities are discovered, the developer will create patches to correct the problem, which you must then download and install on your system. Most hacker programs and tools take advantage of these vulnerabilities. By keeping up-to-date with patch releases, you will reduce your risk of being compromised.
Turn off unnecessary services such as file and print sharing. If you have to enable these services, enable password protection. There are publicly available tools that scan the Internet for unprotected file sharing and publicizes the IP number of the vulnerable system to various newsgroups.
Make routine backups, especially of your most critical data and information AND test your backups to ensure that you can recover the information should you need to. Backups are like insurance-- you never know when you'll need it, but you'll be glad you have it in a crisis.
Protect passwords, select a "strong" password, change them regularly, and don't use the same passwords for different accounts. Don't tape passwords to your monitor, or hide them under the keyboard or mouse (those are the first places people look). Choose passwords that are difficult to guess. Don't use your first or last name, user ID, SSN, telephone number, birth date, or dictionary words (most password cracking programs will test against these items). Choose passwords that are at least 8 characters in length and use a combination of upper, lower and special characters.
These are some precautions that you can take to secure your desktop systems. If we all do our part, although we may not be able to eliminate attacks, we can certainly impede the efforts of those who threaten the integrity of our systems.

In this week's eSkeptic:
An introduction by Dr. Michael Shermer
THE CON ACADEMY videos are another resource in our arsenal of Skepticism 101 for teaching critical thinking and promoting science through the use of humor, wit, and satire. In our first set of videos we will teach people how con artists work through various scenarios, as in our first video: a faux commercial for The Con Academy that explains how psychics count on the confirmation bias to convince people that their powers are real when, in fact, they are just remembering the hits and forgetting the misses. We also demonstrate how psychic "organizations" and "companies" are conning people by taking their money for services that are not real.

What's Good for the Mongoose…
On the Isle of Man, between the World Wars, a lonely hilltop was home to a family of hardscrabble farmers. The father was a former piano salesman, and he struggled to make ends meet for his wife and daughter in their windswept cottage. And then one day, from up in the attic and behind the walls they began to hear the whispers of a mongoose-like creature who called itself Gef.

Witch Doctors and Con Artists
A First-Hand Account of Witchcraft in Africa
by Justin Chapman
I'm a freelance reporter and travel writer. Over the course of three months in 2012 I traveled by myself by buses and trains from Cape Town, South Africa to Mityana, Uganda. One of the things that struck me was the apparent contradiction of the practice of witchcraft, especially in East Africa. As I reached Zambia I started to hear about the history of witchcraft. I was surprised to find out in Uganda that the practice is still very much alive, even among otherwise intelligent people.
The Ugandan constitution allows all kinds of worship, but has a (very weak) provision from 1957 called the "Witchcraft Act" setting forth punishments for those who practice it. However, a court later voided the sections about witchcraft for having vague definitions. You are not allowed to threaten someone with witchcraft, but proving that someone has practiced it, let alone succeeded in utilizing evil spirits, is impossible at best.
Unfortunately, the villagers are wary of modern hospitals and doctors, and once they are convinced witchcraft is being practiced, the sick will not visit a hospital because they think the doctors will not be able to find, let alone cure, the problem. This really is a tragedy because if someone has malaria, for instance, obviously the hospital is the place to go. But if they believe witchcraft is the source, they won't go, leaving themselves open to sickness and death.
While in Uganda I traveled around with a local journalist named Luke Kagiri and helped him cover his various assignments. One day we rode on a boda-boda (motorcycle taxi) about halfway between Mityana and the capital city of Kampala, about an hour's ride, for a witchcraft ceremony. The driver turned off the highway onto a walking path that led us deep into the bush to the village where a man named Ronald Kapungu had been accused of practicing witchcraft or hiring witch doctors to curse a nearby family. As proof of Ronald's wrongdoing, the afflicted family claimed that a male relative had died, the husband was supposedly acting crazy like he was possessed, and the wife was ill.
Several villagers had attacked Ronald's house the week before and he fled the village, hundreds of miles away. Riot police had to come and shoot tear gas into the crowd to disperse them. So the villagers called a "traditional healer" to come and use his "powers" to confirm or deny whether Ronald had in fact been practicing witchcraft.
When Luke and I arrived, there were about 200 people from the surrounding small villages to witness the ceremony. I was the only mzungu (white person) there. Of course everyone was staring at me, but they knew I was with Luke and that we were filming the ceremony for Bukedde TV, the local news station. This gave us access that the crowd didn't have.
Under the Ugandan constitution, large gatherings of people are not allowed without permission from the police and without police presence. Indeed, there were several uniformed officers, who stood in front of the crowd (which was compacted together on a small hill 20 feet from Ronald's battered house, people watching among the trees, cows, pigs, and chickens in the bush) while riot police, automatic rifles at the ready, stood at various points in a circle about 40 feet from and around the crowd.
The traditional healer, a well-dressed man in his late 50s wearing an expensive watch (not what you would picture a witchcraft healer would look like or be wearing), had to get clearance from the local police as well as the chiefs of the village before he arrived.
The healer took his time, walking around the square house, tapping at various things with his black walking stick that curved near the top like a handle and continued up another foot (supposedly the source of his "powers"), and finally entering the house to look around. He didn't bring a bag, but two men came with him and one of them had a thick black rain jacket on with many pockets. The healer exited the house and the three of them took a canister filled with local brew and walked around the perimeter of the house, splashing the alcohol against the outside walls of the house. They did the same thing with a canister of milk, then one of the guys tossed small stones up to hit the tin awning that stretched out beyond the roof.
The healer then placed a bag of flour and a wooden bowl filled with an unknown substance at the foot of the door. He lit his pipe, smoked slowly, answered his expensive cell phone and talked for a minute or so, looked around like he didn't care, and used his stick to mix the substance in the bowl. After smoking for a few minutes, he went back into the house. Luke motioned for me to follow him. We walked into the house in time to see the healer's associate, the one wearing the black rain coat, slip a curved, cone-shaped wooden handle with herbs sticking out of the top into a soft, weathered briefcase on the ground.
We went outside and the healer emerged with the bag, which he informed the crowd he suspected contained the witchcraft items.
After another few minutes he opened the bag and pulled out the wooden handle. He held it up to show the crowd (see photo at top of this article), which went wild with excitement, for this was supposed to be the witchcraft item used by Ronald to bewitch the family. I already knew the whole thing was baloney, of course, but when I saw what the healer did, I realized the scam. The man who was wearing the black raincoat had the cone-shaped handle hidden in his jacket pocket the entire time.
Their suspicions confirmed, the villagers began throwing large pieces of wood into a pile in front of the house to make a fire. They brought two chickens over and removed the feathers from their necks, then sliced the heads off right in front of me and threw them into the pile. A guy doused the wood with kerosene and lit the fire. The healer threw the bags in as well as the witchcraft item, which supposedly contained all the evil spirits. People grabbed whatever they could and threw the stuff into the fire. More gas was splashed on, and it became the tallest, hottest bonfire I'd ever seen. Everyone had to back away about 20 feet because it was so hot.
Then the already elated, besotted crowd marched behind the healer down a path to the victim family's home, about 100 yards down the hill. Luke and I ran in front to get pictures and film the single file hikers. When we got there, the healer approached the sick woman and rubbed the curve of his stick around her head, muttered a few words, and gently lifted his hands to the air, as if to say, "Evil spirits be gone."
I followed the healer into the victim family's home, which he inspected thoroughly but still with an uninterested attitude. I saw the room where the family members slept, on thin mats on a hard floor.
The crowd was angry. They wanted vengeance. Everyone marched back to Ronald's house with the intention of destroying it. The police were there to stop them, and Luke told me, "If there is violence, stand behind the police, because they will shoot in front of them into the crowd, not behind." So we stayed behind the police who stood between the crowd and the house. Ronald's father, a very old, frail man on crutches, claimed that his son was innocent. The police told the crowd to disperse. The crowd timidly backed off, but would surely be back later to demolish the house.
The police told Luke and me that they were leaving and that we should leave as well, because if something happened they would not be able to protect us. I wanted to see some mob violence, but it's probably better that we got back on the boda-boda and booked it out of there, following the healer who also rode on a boda-boda. I didn't think we were in danger but Luke told me that the crowd knew they could be identified on television and so when the police left they could potentially attack us.
The villagers will go looking for Ronald, and if they find him or if he ever returns to the village, he will be killed. Many people die this way. Even if Ronald was practicing witchcraft or had hired a witch doctor to put a curse on the family, so what? This stuff isn't real. The only thing he is allegedly guilty of is sending bad vibes. The accused are the victims, not the "bewitched." People practice witchcraft in Africa for various reasons, but usually because they are jealous of someone for having more money, allegedly having an affair, having beautiful children…anything. And people are killed and their homes destroyed because of it.
Meanwhile, the traditional healer is paid between 500,000 and 1,000,000 Ugandan shillings (about $200–$400 U.S.) for his "services," which is a lot of money for villagers to cough up. He's ripping them off, and he also adds to the confusion by spreading rumors about certain people practicing witchcraft.
According to the Ugandan constitution, in order for the police or a traditional healer or anyone to search your home, they must have a search warrant, like in America. At this ceremony, they had no search warrant and yet the healer and others were allowed to enter Ronald's home, search it, seize items from it, burn them, probably destroy the house, and later most likely murder him. If Ronald knew the law, which he doesn't, he could sue the police, the healer, and others. He could say his name and image were tarnished and be compensated 2,000,000 shillings for that as well as for the destruction of his home and property, such as the bags. The chances that he would win the case are extremely high, because how can anyone prove in court that evil spirits were the cause of the victim family's illnesses and death? I told Luke I wanted to help Ronald, to give him the pictures and footage we took of the ceremony so he could use them in court to prove he was not served with a search warrant.
"Ronald could only use the footage and pictures if we published them in the newspaper or broadcast them on TV," Luke told me. "If we supply him with the raw clips and photos, the villagers would think we were spies trying to help him the whole time, instead of attending the ceremony to write and shoot a legitimate journalism story about it."
We would be outcasts in the community, and since Luke lived there and people knew who he was, he couldn't do that for Ronald. The fact remains that if these people really want to hold onto this outdated belief system, fine. But why not try a healer and a real doctor in a real hospital? What have they got to lose? They just think it's a waste of time, because the real reason for unexplainable things is invisible spirits and powers that can't be proved. The fact that Ugandans are mostly Christian doesn't dissuade uneducated segments of the population from letting go of their superstitious beliefs regarding witchcraft.
How interesting. How bizarre.
Our Next Lecture at Caltech:
Give and Take:
A Revolutionary Approach
to Success
with Dr. Adam Grant
Sunday, April 28, 2013 at 2 pm
IN THIS LECTURE, based on his book on the psychology of human interactions, organizational psychologist (and the youngest tenured professor at the Wharton Business School) argues that as much as hard work, talent and luck, the way we choose to interact with other people defines our success or failure. Give and Take demolishes the "me-first" worldview and shows that the best way to get to the top is to focus not on your solo journey but on bringing others with you. Grant reveals how one of America's best networkers developed his connections, why a creative genius behind one of the most popular shows in television history toiled for years in anonymity, how a basketball executive responsible for multiple draft busts turned things around, and how we could have anticipated Enron's demise four years before the company collapsed—without ever looking at a single number.

What are the odds that a lot of the people in the village know this is basically a ritualistic show, used mainly to get rid of people that most of them have come to dislike. More sophisticated societies have more sophisticated ways of doing this, but all have rituals for false accusations that are eerily similar.
This was an extremely ethnocentric and disrespectful article. I am surprised that Skeptic published it. Any ritual taken out of context seems "bizarre". Imagine how a Catholic Mass or a costumed mascot at a football game would seem to someone who did not have the cultural background to understand it. Why wouldn't one expect a healer to wear Western style clothes and a wristwatch? This is 2013 and access to these goods is easy in this globalized economy. "I wanted to see some mob violence". This is a dreadful remark, that only reflects on the disrespect this author feels for the people he was observing. I am offended by the tone and the message of the article and expect more careful screening of future submissions. This "skepticism" borders on insensitivity, prejudice and racism.
Kay, having been raised Catholic, I can only tell you how the Mass seems to someone who has the cultural background to understand it. If you think eating human flesh and drinking human blood is only weird taken out of context, and if you think the priest has the power to convert bread and wine into flesh and blood, and you don't find that a bit strange, well ….
Taken 'in context', to you, seems to be taken with the indoctrination these people suffered.
Utterly ridiculous. Nonsense is nonsense, regardless of which culture it comes from. Are you seriously suggesting that skeptics not report on nonsense in Africa because you feel that is racist?!
@James E. Lassiter
The scope of this article is not, and should not be, so broad as you would like. It is an ARTICLE. Not a comprehensive textbook about Africa and it's people, their politics, eating habits etc. I think most of us know already that the root of their particular nonsense detailed in this article is poverty and it's 'third world' status (where superstition and mysticism of the most harmful varieties flourish) and not an indictment of African people, racially.
" One of the things that struck me was the apparent contradiction of the practice of witchcraft, especially in Denver . As I reached Colorado I started to hear about the history of witchcraft. I was surprised to find out in ith United States that the practice is still very much alive, even among otherwise intelligent people."
Submitted a a parody of a stupid article worthy of "TRUE" magazines of times gone by .
This type of rave is off-topic for eSkeptic and reads like a letter home from a teen-age visitor who is shocked at the presence of " SINFUL Activities and lawless attitudes in countries which are supposed to be " civilized."
Please select articles by someone having some scientific credentials.
What about this example of white man's witchcraft, the allopathic oncologist.
About 18 years ago a young woman I knew went to northern Qld and got a job in a motel. Her mother kept me informed about what she was up to as she had a bad peptic ulcer in the base (pyloris) of her stomach. She suffered a lot of mood swing as well. Anyway a couple of months passed and her mother told me that she'd collapsed at work. Her ulcer was bleeding very badly and her doctor had prescribed a new drug for. Nothing for a couple or more months and she collapses again, has endoscopy and found to have a very fast growing stomach cancer.
The new drug, Cimetidine. I thought Cimetidine, I've got a book on that somewhere. I found it, 50 cents at Dymock's bargain basement. It was called 'Safety Evaluation of Nitosatable Drugs and Chemicals'. Some stuff about nitrates in sausages & water etc. but mostly about Cimetidine, about how when taking sodium bicarb as an antacid, certain bacteria breed in the alkaline conditions, which convert the drug to a carcinogenic nitosamine.
So I photocopied the relevant bits and sent them, along with some Diastix to help her eliminate refined sugar from her diet and the stress underlying the ulcer formation. A few more months pass and her mother gets a call to say she's just had endoscopy done by her oncologist and the CANCER HAS DISAPPEARED, ALONG WITH THE ULCER. As soon as she got the info from me she became so disenchanted with the medical profession for having prescribed the drug she threw it away, snatched her job and laid on the beach, presumably just waiting to die.
Now I assume that she has gone through some sort of rebirth, accepting the inevitability of death and calmed right down, aided by getting off the sugar, because her mother told me that a different person walked in the door when she got home, calm with no more temper tantrums.
This validates what I have long suspected, that some cancers grow to actually deactivate a poison, in this case the nitrosamine, before it can get into the bloodstream where it can cause a lot of damage. In other word they grow for a reason so their growth is not random. Take away the cause of it's growth, in this case Cimetidine, and it will disappear as it is no longer needed.
Because of a unique set of circumstances this was the outcome. Normally it would be 'cut, poison and burn'. Chemo, more poison, vastly more stress, no change of diet. Surgery, poisonous (hepatoxic) anaesthetic Halothane and on and on. I wrote a booklet about this experience and handed it out at a Lorne Cancer Conference I attended about 12 years ago. (I went every year for about 12 years. 500 witch doctors all together.) A woman researcher remarked sarcastically, "It's all anecdotal." Of course it's anecdotal because people who undergo total remission do so by getting out of the clutches of the medical profession and it's witchcraft before it kills them.
No one wants to buy your book or 'alternative medicine' scheme. Your tale is "anecdotal" because there is no way anyone can scrutinize it to verify what you are claiming. The overwhelming majority of people enjoying remission from cancer do so through the modern, scientific medicinal treatments you so despise.
What could be more witchcraft than the Catholic mass or Eucharist. As Ian Paisley puts it "Caaaathlics are all cannibals, they eat the body and drink the blood of Jesus"
The Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, 'Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me'. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, 'This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, for he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself.
This is Paul's version, 2nd Cor the one used in the Eucharist, sacrament, communion, whatever Christian denomination wants to call it. Only in the Catholic Church are the elements supposed to become the actual body and blood of Christ, therefore can only be partaken in the body of the church. Now I've got a huge problem with this for three major reasons, it is of Paul who is the very embodiment of bigotry, chauvinism, coercion, self loathing, and very pro Rome. Second problem is ritual. To me the real Jesus totally eschewed ritual, that it was hollow, empty, meaningless and futile. He plucks analogies out of Nature, the birds of the air, trees, clouds etc. Third the above text is full of threats, guilt and damnation. Is this LOVE???
The last supper was, I believe, a Caucus to give Judas a chance to make a challenge for the leadership. He is making his case and hit's way below the belt, saying. "What about John the Baptist, eh Jesus." "I wonder just how Herod knew his whereabouts, nothing to do with you I suppose'.. (Barbara Threiring reckons that John had the blood line for the (provisional) High Priesthood based at Qumran, so by John being executed by Herod, Jesus automatically became provisional High Priest and King). In actual fact it was Judas who betrayed John's whereabouts knowing that Jesus would be blamed as he had most to gain. As John didn't have a heir there was no other option. Get John first then Jesus and Judas inherits both positions. Judas Iscariot is actually Jesus' step brother and had a legitimate blood lineage, whereas Jesus didn't
Jesus, a bit drunk and thinking about how kings used to be eaten when they died to absorb their power, tears steaming down his face at being so utterly alone because of the mistrust of everyone present, crocodile tears as far as Judas is concerned, a great act. He's going to turn supergrass in court and they'll all be arrested and executed. His hand shaking violently, Jesus rips a piece of bread apart and says sarcastically, 'This is my body'. Then he gulps down the whole glass of wine and croaks, "and this my blood." They all look at each other nonplussed and whisper "What's he mean?" Nothing really. It's hopeless. Everything he says, every gesture has to have some hidden esoteric meaning. Oh, to have just ONE friend. Who needs disciples? He's going to HAVE to die to demonstrate that he CAN be trusted, absolutely. If only there was some way out, some sliver of hope, but of course there isn't.
This regrettable piece does a great disservice to African peoples and is unworthy of the normally high standards of the Skeptic Society. The author, a journalist of very limited experience in Africa, has portrayed a reality of witchcraft in Uganda, not Africa as his title claims. He no significant attention to the fact that such practices are abhorred by most Ugandans, be they Christian, Muslim, non-believer, urban, rural, educated, or uneducated. The author gives no mention of freethinker groups in Uganda (Freethought Kampala; Friendly Atheist) and elsewhere in East Africa (Freethinking African) who actively pursue scientific-secular causes such as the promotion of science knowledge among the public and secular governance. Finally, this essay is yet another example of Western and some African journalists preferring to portray Africans as primitive in comparison to non-Africans. For more information on this persistent approach see the following: How Not to Write About Africa and Is Africa's Negative Image Justified? I fully realize the point of the essay was to show that witchcraft is still practiced and believed in Africa and therefore something of interest to skeptics. That it was not intended as a comprehensive treatment of the subject. Still, The Skeptic Society can do much better than this. James E Lassiter – Being Human: Our Past, Present, and Future in Nature
Just testing to see if I have been locked out of comments as I have been on Everythingologists by Daniel Loxton.
Not yet but keep spamming nonsense and maybe it will happen. Then you can go to another site beating your chest and declare "Look how afraid skeptics are of me! They ban me for 'speaking truth'(translation: 'They ban me for spamming absurdity!')
I find it surprising that once again ignorant westerners are complaining about bias and unfair descriptions of Africa and specifically it's witchcraft rituals. As someone who grew up and lives in Africa I would like to point out two general misunderstandings readers have when responding to the article. I think it's important to do this because especially in the west it seems people on large still abide by the neocolonialist idea of the 'noble savage'. (There's some really good literature out there dealing with neocolonialism which I suggest anyone really interested in the topic should read to inform their position a bit better.)
As @Kay pointed out that Catholic rituals will seem as bizarre when viewed by an outsider does not prove that African witchcraft is not bizarre but quite the contrary. The point we have to take away is that religious beliefs around the world are by default bizarre, and this is just a particularly deadly version of it. As a side note I would like to remind readers of the untold amounts of death and suffering caused by these mindless and vicious acts. It is an unfortunate by-product of poverty and illiteracy which can can only be solved with active promotion and support of education and the eradication of superstitious beliefs.
I would recommend researching some of these rituals via youtube to shock themselves out of their naivety – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsDtsWJ5ibE Please note that this as well as other videos are quite disturbing, but it's worth watching if you want to conform your opinion with the reality of Africa.
And secondly regarding the "I wanted to see some mob violence" comment. I myself had to take pause for a moment, and I think it was not necessarily a good comment to make. Once again though, readers of this article need to understand that the prevalence of mob justice in parts of Africa are so commonplace that surely the participation in mob riots is far more insulting to the intelligence than a misplaced sense of curiosity.
I think Mr Cahill is grossly self-deceived in thinking he possesses THE truth about the rich diversity of human life in Africa, and wrong in his notion that those of us who negatively commented on this article are ignorant and naive about Africa. Most importantly, Mr Cahill is also unjustified in claiming that Mr Chapman's article sufficiently and comprehensively presents its subject.
Having studied Africa and its peoples since 1970 and lived and worked in Africa since 1980 I can assure Mr Cahill that I am not one of those "ignorant Westerners" he looks down upon. I am not someone lacking knowledge about pre-and post-colonial African history and cultures. Finally, I am not a driveling hand-wringing liberal outsider bemoaning the treatment of Africans and seeking to preserve my noble savage misconceptions about them.
My objections concerning this article have to do with the incompleteness of Chapman's coverage and the fact that he does more harm than good for scientific-secular thinking about witchcraft in Africa. Regrettably, there remains a lot of ignorance and prejudice in the West about Africa and its peoples. Perhaps Mr Cahill, having lived in Africa for so long and being so deeply steeped in its history and cultures, has been insufficiently exposed to such persistently negative Western ways of thinking.
Mr Chapman's article lends support to Western (and all other) prejudices about Africa. It does not adequately address outsider ignorance about the continent's peoples in that it fails to present anything close to a comprehensive truth about African witchcraft. Neither does Mr Chapman give a qualifier acknowledging the incompleteness of his approach.
Mr Cahill's defense of Chapman's treatment of this subject gives support to long-standing prejudices and ignorance about Africa by not acknowledging the former and not helping clear away the latter.
I would just like to thank Justin Chapman for his informative article. I have noticed that there are always so many more critics than authors and I guess that's because it's easier to criticise an article than to publish one. Good job Justin for putting your life at risk to highlight these superstitious and fraudulent practices that still exist in so many parts of the modern world

DOLLAR CRASH IMMINENT: We're Witnessing An Unprecedented Moment Where Countries Lined Up Demand Return of Their Golds Reserves While Central Banks Around The World Are Anticipating Unlimited Money Printing
World's Top Gold Producer Holding Onto All of Its Gold
While Western central banks have frittered away their gold, China is quietly building up its reserves.
China is the world's largest gold producer.
And yet – according to various sources – gold bullion brokers have not seen any gold coming from China.
In other words, China is producing more gold than any other country, but isn't exporting any of it.
In addition, china is importing huge amounts of gold.
Countries Lined Up Demand Return of Their Golds Reserves
Are Central Banks Overstating their Gold Holdings?
Romania has demanded for many years that Russia return its gold.
Last year, Venezuela demanded the return of 90 tons of gold from the Bank of England.
The German high court recently ruled that Germany must audit its gold reserves held in foreign countries such as the U.S., England and France. And German inspectors will actually travel to the New York Federal Reserve Bank's gold depository and the Bank of England to inspect their gold.
Germany will also repatriate 150 tons of gold in order to test it for purity.
As Zero Hedge notes (quoting Bloomberg):
Ecuador's government wants the nation's banks to repatriate about one third of their foreign holdings to support national growth, the head of the country's tax agency said.
Carlos Carrasco, director of the tax agency known as the SRI, said today that Ecuador's lenders could repatriate about $1.7 billion and still fulfill obligations to international clients. Carrasco spoke at a congressional hearing in Quito on a government proposal to raise taxes on banks to finance cash subsidies to the South American nation's poor.
So yesterday: Germany… today: Ecuador… tomorrow: the World?
Four members of the Swiss Parliament want Switzerland to reclaim its gold.
Some people in the Netherlands want their gold back as well.
Cheviot Asset Management's Ned Naylor-Leyland says that the Fed and Bank of England will never return gold to its foreign owners.
Jim Willie says that the gold is gone.
The fact that CNBC head editor John Carney is arguing that it doesn't matter whether or not the Fed has the gold does not exactly inspire confidence.
JIM WILLIE: The Battle Is On For Delivery And Verification For Official Gold Accounts
By Jim Willie, GoldenJackass.com
Jim Rogers: Whenever Gold Goes Down I Buy More
Jim Rogers :
I own precious metals because I expect more money printing. I own gold, I am not selling gold, whenever gold goes down I buy more. If it goes down a lot I hope i'm smart enough to buy a lot more because the price is going to go much higher over the next decade.
Politicians around the world are printing a lot of money that's the wrong thing to do, but that's what they're doing and whenever they print money the way to protect yourself is own gold, silver, platinum, palladium, any precious item will protect you in time like that. – in Gold Made Simple
We're Seeing The Results of This "New Gold Standard" In The Marketplace
"All the fundamentals are in place for this to continue," Peter told me. "These guys tend to have a long time frame in mind. So when you see a shift like this, it's a big deal. And the chances are that this could last for a very long time."
The legendary Jim Sinclair has sent an email alert to subscribers comparing this week's terrible situation along the east coast in the wake of Sandy to the coming collapse of the US dollar. Sinclair states that Ben Bernanke is the only person in US financial management that understands the current situation, and that QE? is the only thing delaying a complete systemic collapse.
Sinclair states that if Romney is elected and follows through on his threats to fire Bernanke, it would "be the single greatest error made in US financial management ever", and would result in gold trading above $3,500/oz and a complete US dollar collapse within 6-9 months!

Northborough – In the four years it has participated in the Community Preservation Act (CPA), Northborough has allocated more than $1.8 million to affordable housing, historical preservation and open space/recreation projects.
This year Town Meeting voters approved funding for 10 projects, allocating a total of more than $700,000. Sixteen projects were brought before the Community Preservation Committee (CPC) requesting CPA funding approval.
Committee Chair John Campbell said that the projects that were chosen were selected based on one of three criteria: a strong consensus to support creation of additional aff ordable housing; a commitment to historical preservation projects with the greatest public benefit; and a continued commitment to open space reserves and continued support of the trails network.
In the area of aff ordable housing, the CPC – and subsequently the town – approved $197,000 in fiscal year 2008 CPA revenue, along with $103,000 from reserves sent to the Northborough Affordable Housing Corp. (NAHC), for acquisition of aff ordable housing units. The CPC then recommended to the NAHC that it use the $300,000 for acquisition of any aff ordable housing units it deems appropriate.
Also approved by the CPC and the town was the sum of $3,000 to the NAHC for reorganization costs.
Historical preservation projects approved included: $35,000 for Phase 1 of the Preservation of Town Records project; $20,000 for renovations to the Historical Society Building for creation of a handicapped-access ramp and handicapped-access bathroom; and $2,000 for signage to identify the Meeting House Historic District.
Also approved was the banking of $70,000 in the Historical Preservation reserves.
In the area of open space/ recreation, the CPC and the town opted to approve $225,000 be deposited in the Open Space Reserve, $21,450 be earmarked for the Fire Department for a Trails and Fire Rescue Vehicle for trails preservation, $5,000 for the Trails Committee, and $20,000 to the CPC administrative account.
The summary of the three accounts – the Open Space Reserve, the Historical Resources Reserve and the Aff ordable Housing Reserve – show that:
The Open Space Reserve, to be used for future acquisition of open space, easements and restrictions, totals $772,500, of which $547,500 has been transferred to the Conservation Fund; the Historic Resources Reserve, to be used for future acquisitions of historic properties, easements and restrictions, totals $150,000; and the Affordable Housing Reserve, to be used for future acquisitions of aff ordable housing, restrictions and property, totaled $103,000, although that amount was transferred to the Affordable Housing Corporation in 2008.

A Cake Tasting, New Adventures In Cake…
Like all girls, I grew up planning how my wedding would look in my head. I would wear a huge white princess gown and glass slippers as if I were one of the characters from a fairytale. Let's just say as I got older my wedding visions changed along with me. There were even points where I simply wondered will this wedding thing ever happen?
I have been to many weddings and seen the stress the bride goes through to make it an "event to remember". To me it seemed they spent most of the evening saying hello, thank you and making small talk with guests they barely knew. All that money spent on a party for people I really don't know, not for me.
I chose a much different route – quick vows witnessed by actual people in my life and then a party with great cake and food to follow. My mother made all the food, dad picked the wine, my sister baked an incredible cake, and my best girlfriend took the pictures. Although not that grand of an event, I feel it was something that created a memory for my friends and family.
Over the past few months of writing this blog I have become increasingly more busy making cakes and other confections for people. I was approached with the offer to do a wedding cake for a friend's sister. I was excited and terrified thinking about taking on this colossal effort. Unlike my wedding, this wedding has somewhere between 250-300 people attending. That is a whole lot of cake!
I spoke with the bride over the phone about her vision, and what she likes and doesn't like. I suggested a few ideas from my head and then we set a date for a cake tasting. I have no personal experience with the concept of cake tasting, so I did some investigating.
Some bakeries you must schedule an appointment and pay a fee refundable upon ordering. I have also heard of mass tastings held by bakeries in house or at bridal fairs allowing many to taste their confections.
Typical me, I chose to be different. I wanted to give her three 3 inch mini layer cakes. Me and my big ideas, ugh!
This proved to be more of a learning experience and a lesson of what not to do. Let's just say, I bit off more than I could chew and had lots of leftover cake.
The cakes did taste wonderful, of course, but after all the time baking, cooling, and cutting I didn't have the time to make them works of art like I had planned. This however, was a cake tasting, and taste prevailed…I got the job! Now the work can begin…
In order to keep the brides selections and plans confidential – I am not going to disclose any flavors or recipes. Let's just say I am very excited about what she decided on! Look for upcoming posts on this cake adventure…

Some value in Hispanics sticking together
Updated 6:01 pm, Thursday, March 28, 2013
Thank you, US2010 Project, for stating the often misunderstood obvious: "Hispanic" is not synonymous with "Mexican."
The project, based at Brown University and dedicated to researching changes in American society, has released a report titled "Hispanics in the United States: Not Only Mexicans." For non-Mexican Hispanics who try not to seem anti-Mexican when they explain, again, that they are not Mexican, the report is a welcome acknowledgement of Hispanic diversity.
For the half of me that's Ecuadorean, it's a joy to see an independent organization confirm that "Hispanics come to the U.S. from many origins and there are real differences between them."
My Mexican half, however, wasn't pleased that the good news about Latino diversity was overshadowed by the finding that every Hispanic group has become less segregated since 1990 — except Mexicans.
According to the research, Mexicans, who represent more than 60 percent of Latinos, are still living heavily segregated from whites compared to, say, South Americans.
Segregation as a societal construct is bad and enforced segregation is against the law. But when it comes to Mexicans in the United States, I don't think either applies.
For the majority of Mexican immigrants who come here, self-segregation can be a first step in the assimilation process.
I hail from a city known for its diverse ethnic enclaves, and we've always seen these as assets. Whenever I mention I'm from Chicago, people assume I grew up in one of the two major predominantly Mexican neighborhoods, Little Village or Pilsen. I didn't — my family settled in an Irish neighborhood near a concentration of South Americans — but the strengths of those communities reach every corner of the city and suburbs because they serve as immigrants' first stop in America.
"It cuts both ways. We're anxious to involve Mexicans into the greater city community because the city benefits quite a bit when the segregation breaks down," said Dick Longworth, a senior fellow at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs who studies the impact of globalization on the Midwest. "But a lot of immigrants wouldn't come here unless there was a group already present, with a common language — and often times having arrived from the same hometown — who could help them settle, break them in, get them in housing, schools, jobs and teach them how this strange place called Chicago works."
These highly concentrated neighborhoods are epicenters for integration resources such as English as a second language and citizenship classes.
"There's definitely a progression and, while not everyone moves forward, Little Village is a perfect example of a community that has created a space for so many families to live the American Dream of buying a home, starting a successful business and contributing to the economy," said Nilda Esparza, the executive director of the Little Village Chamber of Commerce.
Yes, assimilation should always be the goal. But sometimes, sticking together can be a community's greatest strength.

Biking is a great way to exercise and explore the trails or a long country road. It is also an easy way to get around town or commute to work. No matter what your reason is, make sure you know how to stay safe while you're on 2 wheels.
Common bicycle-related accidents are due to:
Most of these accidents can be avoided with proper bike selection, use, and care. Consider the following safety tips when shopping for a new bike or taking care of an old one.
There are several factors to consider when you buy a bicycle. If you haven't bought one before, consider going to a professional bicycle shop to get sound advice, look over the selection, and see what is available for accessories. Here are some other tips:
Knowing how to use a bicycle is just as important as picking one out. Follow this advice before jumping on your bicycle:
Regular maintenance is essential for safe riding. Refer to the owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommendations. Have an experienced repair technician do complicated work. This is especially important if your bicycle has been sitting idle for several weeks.

Bosch has always held a responsible attitude towards man and nature. It results an obligation and incentive to develop the most efficient household appliances, produced to ecological criteria. This is illustrated by our ""Green Technology"" signet: and stands for the particularly resource-saving technologies of our products. These not only improve the future but also our quality of life, everyday. Through sustainability in manufacturing processes and efficient operation. With maximum performance for each one of us - and maximum responsibility for all of us.
ActiveWater is one of these technologies. It is a new and unique dishwashing system that gets maximum use out of each drop of water. Faster heating-up, targeted water circulation and improved pump performance means that the new ActiveWater dishwashers use less water, less energy yet achieve better performance.
Patented by Bosch in 1985 and copied throughout the world, the AquaStop™ safety system prevents any type of water damage whether at the inlet hose or because of a leak in the machine. This system provides 24 hours protection each day.
Half Load
For smaller loads, selected Bosch dishwashers offer the convenience of a standard wash as well, with less water and energy. You can now save more water and energy at the touch of a button.
The AquaSensor helps you save even more water during the wash. A sensor measures the amount of soiling at the end of the pre-rinse cycle. If the soiling is only slight, the water is reused for the main wash , saving up to 20% of water for the entire wash. If at the end of the pre-rinse the water is heavily soiled, the dishwasher will pump out the residual water to ensure the best possible wash result.
Sometimes you need things done in a hurry. With VarioSpeed, you can almost halve the wash program cycle without sacrificing washing and drying results. With a Bosch dishwasher, you can look forward to 100% cleanliness in up to 50% of the time.

Today my tweeting was heavily focused on the revelation that Verizon gave up a significant amount of information to the NSA. Among the many interesting pieces I read was an attempt by Slate's Will Saletan to justify the surveillance. In a nutshell, Saletan argues:
- It isn't wiretapping.
- It's judicially supervised.
- It's congressionally supervised.
- It expires quickly unless it's reauthorized.
- Wiretaps would require further court orders.
See his article for further details. But in brief, his arguments seem to rest on the bases that the surveillance could be worse (true but not a justification), and that there are lots of nifty procedures to provide oversight (doubtful that they work). Below are the responses that I posted on Slate to Mr. Saletan's arguments (slightly edited), providing my own translations for what I think the arguments really amount to:
- "It isn't wiretapping." Translated: it could be worse, so suck it up. Not a real strong starting point.
- "It's judicially supervised." Translated: the FISA court "supervises" the surveillance, which means that it probably usually rubber-stamps what the executive branch wants. But since it's a secret court, we have no idea what's going on.
- "It's congressionally supervised." Translation: Congress also "supervises" the surveillance, which means it also likely rubber-stamps what the executive branch wants.
- "It expires quickly unless it's reauthorized." Translation: the surveillance is likely reauthorized continually, making the authorization process a joke. And since we don't know what's going on, we're not in on the joke. We are the joke.
- "Wiretaps would require further court orders." Translation: it's "only" metadata, which ignores the fact that metadata—when aggregated with other user metadata and external sources of data—is extremely revealing of private information. The argument that "[w]iretaps would require further court orders" also goes full-circle back to point #1 that it could be worse, which again is not real persuasive.
Saying that something could be worse is hardly an argument. We don't justify burglary by saying that arson is worse. And "oversight" is meaningless when it is a rubber-stamp that is unseen by the public. Indeed, meaningless procedures provide nothing more a veil of lawfulness to otherwise outrageous conduct. As Congressperson John Dingell once famously said about procedure, "I'll let you write the substance … you let me write the procedure, and I'll screw you every time."

Carrick-on-Suir cyclist Sean Hahessy captains Irish U-18 cycling team
Seventeen year old Carrick-on-Suir cyclist Sean Hahessy was last week named as captain of
the Irish national Under-18 cycling team for the 2013 season.
This honour confirms the Gaelcholáiste Chéitinn student as one of Ireland's brightest young prospects.
The Iverk Produce Carrick Wheelers clubman travelled to Mallorca for a training camp in
February where newly appointed Cycling Ireland Head Coach Brian Nugent put the riders through their paces.
Each day started with a 2-3 hour road training session in the morning from the Team Ireland base in Alaro led by CI Youth Coach Martin O'Loughlin.
This was followed by a 2 hour indoor track session in the beautiful velodrome in Palma. The days were rounded off with a coaching workshop.
Sharing the velodrome was Martyn Irvine, who just a week later became Ireland's first track cycling world champion in 116 years.
By the end of the camp, Brian Nugent had decided that Ireland's focus for U-18 riders would be the World Junior Track Championships in Glasgow in August.
As captain, Sean Hahessy will have a vital role in helping to deliver success.
At 6'4" tall, he is a powerfully built cyclist who has made significant progress each year since beginning with the Ó Ceallacháins Youth League at the age of thirteen.
He is studying for his Leaving Cert in June, and will then train full-time for the World Championships.
Iverk Produce Carrick Wheelers Chairman John Dempsey said everybody in the club was delighted when Sean firstly made the Irish squad, and then when he was made captain.
"His parents Joe and Lilian have instilled a huge work ethic in Sean that has brought him to
this stage. He is a determined and dedicated cyclist who will go a long way. We look forward
to supporting him in Glasgow," he said.

Clarke hopes for a big number
Page Tools
Michael Clarke will fulfil a boyhood dream tomorrow at the SCG.
Michael Clarke knows batsmen get only one chance to impress in their first Test in their home town. Darren Lehmann knows if he doesn't take this chance, he may not have another.
In any event, Australia's young and old middle-order pair are eager for overdue runs in the third Test against Pakistan starting tomorrow in Sydney. Clarke is a young man who does nothing by half measures.
In Adelaide before the second Test against New Zealand, the 23-year-old finally got a moment to mark his induction into the Test side by acquiring a tattoo bearing his Australian player number, 389.
Some predecessors had started the tradition, but usually with a discreet, small tattoo on the ankle or shoulder. Not Clarke. He had his writ large across the small of his back. And not in numbers, but five-centimetre high Roman numerals.
Imagine having III VIII IX tattooed on your skin and you can imagine Clarke's hours-long ordeal, and what the number means to him - even if the more accurate CCCLXXXIX might have caused more discomfort.
"It was a bit painful," said Clarke, who had encouragement from his Test teammates. "A few of the boys were there with me, cheering me on. I like it a lot." Clarke is eyeing some numbers of a different kind as he heads into his first home-ground Test. With his entourage watching and after scores of 1, 27 and 20 so far in this series, he is determined to put the sort of numbers on the scoreboard he knows he can produce, but which have so far eluded him against Pakistan.
"This is a boyhood dream for me," he said. "With every Test match I can't wait to get out there and play, but definitely in front of my home crowd I'm looking forward to it."
Clarke was the only Australian to practise yesterday, through a net session against a bowling machine.
He also spoke about his batting recently with his captain Ricky Ponting. But while disappointed to have missed out so far in the series - and with the ungainly clip to long-off against leg spinner Danish Kaneria that caused his demise in Melbourne - Clarke is certainly not fearing any form slump.
"I feel like I'm hitting the ball OK," he said. "I played an ordinary shot the other day to get out, which was disappointing, but at least we have been playing fantastic as a team. I've had two games where I haven't scored runs, and it's definitely disappointing. Hopefully this is my turn."
Lehmann, after scoring 12, 5 and 11 to continue a disappointing run, said bluntly yesterday that another failure in Sydney could spell the end of his Test career. "If I play, yeah," he said.
Lehmann is still likely to play, despite speculation over the ramifications of Australia adding all-rounder Shane Watson and leg spinner Stuart MacGill to the squad. The fact the SCG pitch looks ideal for batting means MacGill is unlikely to play and therefore Watson would not be required to bolster the pace attack by taking Lehmann's place in the XI.
Lehmann disagrees with speculation that he is vulnerable against fast bowling.
"That's just a fallacy that breeds and people just roll with it," he said in the wake of failures against Shoaib Akhtar. "As you get older, it probably does get a little bit harder. That's just part of the ageing process, I suppose.
"If anything I've probably been trying too hard to play well. You should let natural instincts take over. That's certainly what I'm trying to get back to."

5. Jesse Eisenberg Has Magic and Clowning Around in His Blood
Oscar-nominated actor Jesse Eisenberg has a family made up of performers. Jesse's mother is actually a professional clown. In his home town of East Brunswick, N.J. she has performed at children's birthday parties for over 20 years. Likewise Jesse's little sister was a '90s child star whose credits include Beautiful and How to Eat Fried Worms as well as a Pepsi Superbowl commercial.Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine can't seem to get enough of working with each other these days--or at least being in the same movie together. Now You See Me is the fourth film to co-star the two legendary actors. They previously appeared together in all three of Christopher Nolan's installments of the Batman trilogy.

3. Isla Fisher Almost Drowned While Filming Now You See Me
Isla Fisher told Chelsea Handler on "Chelsea Lately" that she almost drowned while filming her swimming tank scene. Isla joked that she couldn't understand why Tom Cruise doesn't have a stunt double. She made light of the story saying, "All I kept thinking about was picturing myself having an autopsy later, all bloated and gross in a swimming costume. Who wants to die in a swimming costume?"
2. Guess Who Was Originally Cast
It was rumored that Jake Gyllenhaal was up for the role of Mark Ruffalo's character but declined to do the film. Likewise Olivia Wilde was offered a role in the film, and Amanda Seyfried was considered for the role that eventually went to Isla.
1. Michael Caine Sleeps on Set
Apparently, Michael Caine was locked in his dressing room for a whole night during filming. Supposedly, he fell asleep after shooting a scene and didn't hear the director call wrap for the day and the crew pack up and leave. It was assumed that Michael had gone home, so the set was locked. He wasn't discovered until the morning when someone heard him crying for help.
Think that is funny? Check out this clip of Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine, when Morgan Freeman decides to take a nap right in the middle of the interview!

Theme Thursday – Texture
There's a new game in town! It's called texture and it's FUN!
Basically, what your are doing is taking a photograph of an interesting texture, overlaying it on top of your existing picture and reducing the opacity of it so the original shows through. Adding textures to your photos is another thing that would require you to have Photoshop or any other photo program that allows you to add layers, adjust the opacity, erase and colorize.
Creating a textured photo can be as hard or as easy as you want it to be. You can take just one texture, drag it onto your photo, reduce opacity and you are done. You can also add many different textures, manipulate the photo underneath, use different brushes to add effects, etc. The more you learn how to use PS, the more you can do to adjust the photo to what you see in your artist's eye.
This is not something that is quick to do. I find that I generally take a lot of time in figuring out the layers to use and which opacity works and how much to erase. I also use different brushes on them, too. I use a similar process in creating a fantasy land photo manipulation.
Now, where does one get these textures? Well, there are places online that offer free photos you can download. Most of them are just photos that have interesting elements or textures that someone photographed. Can you do that yourself? Why yes you can!
Have a pile of leaves? Take a picture of it! A leather chair? Take a picture of it! Some rocks, tree bark, an open book, crumpled paper, brick, stucco, an old door??? Look around your house and see what would be an interesting texture.
Now, how does one put these picture into practice?
I like to start out with a picture that has a focal point. There is something in that shot I would like to draw attention, and it needs to have an area around it that can allow me to lay in texture and other elements to make it interesting. You can also use digital scrapbooking papers and elements in the same way.
Here is the SOOC shot that I chose:
This is what I did:
1. My basic processing.
2. I used the dodge tool to lighten the grass areas, and the desaturation tool to tone down the vibrant green.
3. I added a few textures on top, and erased around her. You don't want the erasing to be too stark, so make sure the opacity on the brush is lower and the brush isn't too big.
4. I added a hue/saturation layer and gave it a sepia tone. The textures come with their own colors, so I find you really have to do a color adjustment at the end or else you have a bunch of non-matching colors. Once I added the hue/saturation layer, I erased a bit around her to bring back some of the original color on Anya.
5. Next I added some fun swirls for the borders with different brushes. Deviantart.com has tons of free brushes. You just donwload them, unzip and put them in the brushes folder in PS. Make sure the program is not up or your will need to restart it to have the brushes show up. I always make sure to put them on a separate layer so I can adjust more easily.
6. Flatten layers and then it is done! Now this may not have seemed like it took many steps but it took me at least an hour. You are being artistic here, so it takes some time to figure out what looks right and what works. Sometimes you have to go back and start over. It's a process. I'm still not sure I'm in love with how this turned out, but it is what is now. I didn't have the energy to stare at the computer anymore…there's lots of staring when you are trying to be artistic. 😉

The article below is a summary on only some aspects of the Nightblade. If you need something more extensive and comprehensive, this class guide is your best bet. It helped me build a powerful nightblade and reach the level cap in a week's time. The included up-to-date, in-depth section on strategies will perfect your game, just as it did with mine.
When leveling a Nightblade in Elder Scrolls Online, there are a few things you should keep in mind to ensure your survival and dispose of enemies quickly. Whether you are solo leveling or leveling with others, here are six tips that will help:
1. Slot a few self-healing or crowd control abilities (or both).
Damage is important as a Nightblade, but survival and crowd control are also important, especially since Nightblades aren't that efficient at dealing damage to multiple targets at a time. Stuns help a great deal to initiate combat, and self-healing leech spells can make a large difference in a long fight.
2. When in doubt, sneak!
Sneak makes a great combat opener with all of the Nightblade stealth bonuses. Invest in a few talents to improve sneak and you can walk around virtually undetected while picking your battles. This is especially handy with the game's quick respawn rate. Some talents even let you go invisible during combat.
3. Don't forget about ranged weapons and abilities.
There are a few story quests that you'll run into where having a ranged option helps a great deal. You should always either carry around a destruction staff or bow. Alternatively, there are a few morphed abilities that give you ranged options. Read this article if you need gold to purchase a more powerful weapon.
4. Use those quickslots.
When the going gets tough, you are going to want to have a few healing potions and/or draughts on-hand. To place them onto your quickslot bar for easy access, bring up your inventory then hit and hold "Q" on the keyboard (for PC players). Drag and drop the items to the new frame. Now you can quickly use these in combat.
5. Keep an eye on your Magicka.
All classes, even Nightblades, have to worry about Magicka. While most MMORPG combat is focused on spamming abilities, ESO combat flows a little differently. Your light and heavy attacks are just as important as your abilities that cost Magicka, and if you spam too many Magicka abilities at the start of a fight, you will quickly find yourself completely out. Pace yourself and learn to time your hardest-hitting abilities when they matter most.
6. Don't forget to interrupt, dodge and block.
Learn to watch the animations of enemies and interrupt when they're winding up a large spell. Melee opponents will wind up heavy attacks that can similarly be blocked even while not wearing a shield. Ground effects, of course, should be avoided. Keep an eye on your Stamina so you can use these abilities.
The article above is a summary on only some aspects of the Nightblade. If you need something more extensive and comprehensive, this Elder Scrolls Online Nightblade Manual is your best bet. It helped me build a powerful nightblade and reach the level cap in a week's time. The included up-to-date, in-depth section on strategies will perfect your game, just as it did with mine.

Greetings from my summer garden!
We're having a bumper year at our place, which is the result of some serious work during the cooler months. Since my last update we've replaced the crappy pond liner we found in hard rubbish with a new liner that is deeper and better at holding water. Around the pond we've planted hardy plants like aloe vera, parsley and citronella scented pelargoniums to keep the mozzies at bay. In the pond we've got a couple of water lilies and some laksa leaf that seems to be doing well.
I've previously grown the laksa leaf in a pot but on our last trip to Bali I noticed it growing in the rice paddies with its roots fully submerged in water, so I thought I would give it a go and it seems to be really happy. We've also added in some Murray River rainbows and brown tree frog tadpoles that are doing a good job of keeping some of the other bugs (mainly mozzies) under control.
Another focus for me this year has been to get more bee-friendly flowers happening in and around the garden to help with pollination. I've scattered dahlia, salvia, borage, zinnia and calendula seeds randomly about the place and they are all going great guns. The bees love them, as do the wasps who have been working hard to keep the aphids under control.
One of the most profound changes we've made to the garden this year has been our veggie patch, which has been a bit of a labour of love. When we first moved in, the back of the yard was quite beautiful but not really to our tastes. One of the biggest problems we faced was the large gum-tree in the back corner of our yard. It was completely inappropriate for the space because of its size (about 30 metres high – we only have a small yard) and because it stripped water and much-needed nutrient from the soil.
At certain times of the year it would drop toxic leaves over the garden and I was constantly paranoid about it dropping big branches on our roof. So at the end of 2013 it came out – an expensive exercise, but ultimately a good decision as the difference it has made is incredible.
In previous years I've had real trouble getting much of anything to grow in this part of the garden, but look at it now! It's a jungle of green growth. We're pulling in a steady stream of tomatoes, cucumbers and zucchini to the point where I'm having trouble keeping up with it all.
To get it to this point we first grew a cover crop of green manure, which we then dug back into the soil as it started to flower. We then added a layer of organic garden soil, compost and sheep manure, followed by a thick layer of sugar cane mulch. P added drip irrigation in rows and as the weather started to warm we planted out a range of seedlings I had grown from seed. We had really low expectations and I was convinced that the soil needed further work, so to see it flourish this way has been wonderful.
As we start hitting the peak of summer I'm starting to turn my mind to the next season and what we need to do to keep things churning along. It's only a small space but as we've seen this year, it's possible to pack a fair bit in.
I'm also conscious that we've probably pulled a lot of nutrient from the soil, so I'm keen to hear your suggestions on what we should do when it comes time to remove the tired summer plants and replace with winter crops.
How is your garden going? Do you have any suggestions on what we should do when things start to slow down here? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below.

If you live in any of these areas
You are one of our residents who have the "Grinder Pump Sewer System'. It is important that you know there are limitations to this system. The biggest problem we encounter is the pump's inability to grind certain objects. The pump becomes jammed when encountering fabric, plastics, etc. Some examples are baby wipes, female products, clothing, plastic toys, q-tips, even cigarette butts. Another issue is grease that gets in the tank and builds up on the on/off floats causing it to not operate properly. These problems have become a frequent cause for costly system repairs.
Also, if you have lost electricity in your home, or your "grinder alarm" sounds; PLEASE discontinue water use immediately and call the Water and Sewer Department. If the alarm sounds between 6:00 P.M. and 7:00 A.M. and it is possible to wait until the following morning during normal working hours for repair, it would be greatly appreciated. This would cut down any over time costs. The number is 625-8033 and any questions or concerns can be addressed at this number. If you would prefer a consultation at your home we will make arrangements. Thank you for your cooperation and consideration regarding these issues.

Then Edgar relates that, while he was sitting over his father's body, a man came and closely embraced him, and, shouting as loudly as if he wished to burst heaven, threw himself on the body of Edgar's father, and told the most piteous tale about Lear and himself, and that while relating this the strings of life began to crack, but at this moment the trumpet sounded twice and Edgar left him "tranced" -- and this was Kent.
