Alcoholism #1
Alcoholism and Child Abuse
"He used to always whale me when he was sober and could get his hands on me…"(Twain 11).
Alcohol and Crime
"Every time he got money he got drunk; and every time he got drunk he raised Cain around town; and every time he raised Cain he got jailed''(Twain 23).
Drug and Alcohol Abuse
"He had been drunk over in town, and laid in the gutter all night, and he was a sight to look at''(Twain 26).
Alcoholism has been affecting the society as well as the person responsible. It shows how negative things such as alcohol effect the way you interact with others. Mark Twain has used many examples in Huckleberry Finn to show what alcohol can do along with how alcoholics are viewed by the society.
Alcoholism and Sobriety in Huckleberry Finn
By: Brixton Niebuhr, Champ Newman,
and Sarah Catherine Jones
3rd block
This quote shows how Huck's father Pap takes advantage of his own son. He is so addicted to alcohol that he takes his own sons money to buy alcohol and go act like a foolish drunk and be an idiot. Pap whooping and carrying on is just Twain's way of saying pap is being a foolish drunk who is causing a ruckus in the town and being a disturbance.
In this passage, Twain associates alcoholics as having damaging and abusive characteristics. Huck's father, Pap, is almost always drunk and with this his thoughts are tainted with an aggressive behavior which is also present when he is sober. This demonstrates concepts of child abuse as a result of alcoholism. As a result his father's entire being is damaged by his intake of alcohol.
This quote directly connects alcoholism and sobriety to the issue of child abuse as an effect of how it changes ones self. In this it is revealed that Huck's father frequently whips him and abuses him due to the dependence he has on alcohol. Even when sober Huck was abused when displeasing to his father. This connects to modern society because the child abuse that occurs today is mostly induced by a form of alcohol or substance abuse. An example of this would be Miss Agatha Hannigan from "Annie" a woman who lets alcohol control her while she runs an orphanage. A man by the name of Mr. Warbucks decides he wants to adopt Annie, along with this adoption he decided to put out a reward of $50,000 to whoever can prove to be the real parents of Annie. Miss Agatha Hannigan along with two of her friends decide to come up with a plan to act as Annie's parents to get the money along with Annie. After they planned to kill Annie and take the money and go to "easy street". This is an example of how alcohol is related to child abuse due to the fact that these ideas of killing Annie are made under the influence.
In this passage, Twain draws a connection between pap and Cain, who was the first human born and the first to commit murder, killing his own brother. This suggests that pap's drunken state ends up in him making unwise decisions that negatively affect others. It also reveals how alcohol results in consequences like going to jail. This suggests that those who are dependent on alcohol are more likely to be involved with negative activities and also to go to jail.
Jack Sparrow is a modern example of an alcoholic involved in negative activities. Jack is a pirate who relies heavily on alcohol and finds himself in tight situations. It seems like he prefers to wind up in these tight situation, and also get drunk along the way. He is similar to pap in that he is always in trouble with the law. He raids, kills, steals, and drinks like any other pirate, but when it comes to drinking he tends to over do it. Unlike pap though, Jack always seems to outwit the law and slide out their hands scratch-free. Also, while Jack is after something or on an adventure, alcohol usually breaks his focus, and becomes the center of his attention. When in a tight situation Jack's attention seems to move to alcohol. This decision always seems to come back and bite him in the butt due to the affect it holds over him.
Works Cited
In this passage, Twain demonstrates substance abuse along with drunkenness because it shows the after affects it can have on a person. It also portrays the toll it can have on your body along with irreversible consequences that can come along with it.
This quote is connected to Lindsey Lohan's life because she got so addicted to substances that it affected her life to the point she turned into a completely different person. When she overdosed or got drunk she would not know where she was and at times who she was. Lohan abused these substances and paid the price for it in the end. Her body along with mind have been altered and ruined, at points, due to the substances she indulged herself in. Irreversible consequences from her abuse of the alcohol and drugs have cause her to ultimately ruin her life. This relates to this quote as the old man had ruined himself in his affairs in the previous night.
Example of
Alcoholism #2
"His foot swelled up pretty big, and so did his leg; but by and by the drunk begun to come, and so i judged he was all right; but I'd druther been bit with a snake than pap' s whisky." Ch. 10, pg. 53
This quote demonstrates how alcoholism affects not only the person misusing the substance but the people that the alcoholic's have in their life. Pap's drunkenness has stuck with Huck affecting him even when his father is not present. Huck refers to not wanting to be bit by pap's whisky, suggesting the affects that Huck has seen the whisky take on pap are imaginable.
Example of
Alcoholism #3
"He was drunk, I reckon." Ch. 11 pg. 61
This quote demonstrates that pap was known for being drunk. People who are dependent on alcohol have a tendency to be linked to it. Huck had seen pap drunk so much that he automatically resorted to that conclusion.

I'm Adam and I'm the Team Leader with Forest Paranormal Investigations.
I have worked in the field of the paranormal for over 10 years now. I am most definitely a techy, gadget parageek and love to utilize the latest in electrical wizardry in our hunt for the paranormal. I have worked as an Electronics Technician for 18 years of my life so I'm sure I have a good excuse!!!
My Father and Grandfather were both early pioneers of infrared spirit photography from the 1950s. They would often be invited to séances where they would record audio and take photographs with infrared Kodak film. When my father died in 2011, I had the colossal task of clearing out a lifetime of his belongings. He was a legendary horder so it was quite a task…Amongst his belongings I found old DAT tapes of trance mediums working at séances and some incredible pictures of ectoplasmic manifestations taken with their early adapted cameras. They were truly the Ghostbusters of yesteryear and the paranormal obviously runs thick in my blood.

Me and my brother, Zane. I'm the serious one on the right
I was a bit of a misfit as a kid. When I was 8 years old my favourite books were The Hammer House of Horror and Dracula. I can remember regularly visiting the local library and always making a beeline for the "Occult and Supernatural" section. I would feed my fragile eggshell mind with stories of ghosts, goblins, vampires, werewolves and witches. I was most certainly a very inquisitive child and was always asking questions, so much so, that it was suggested that there was something wrong with me! I was taken to a child psychologist who, after an in depth dialogue (where I asked more questions than he did) it was concluded that I was just a very intelligent young man who had to know the answers to everything! I'm sure in this day and age they would have diagnosed and labelled me with any number of different mental illnesses but I simply prefer the moniker of "intelligent".
In 1980, at this very tender age, my grandmother died, after a long, hospitalized illness. We had visited her often during this time, but it was her funeral that was to have a profound effect on me. She was cremated, and it was at this time that David Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes" was high in the charts. As I watched the polished wooden coffin disappear behind the final curtain destined for the all-consuming flames I heard the haunting lyrics playing in my head…a head that was suddenly filled with questions. I wondered where the energy of that once vibrant woman had gone. Obviously it was not consumed amongst the flames. It had to go somewhere surely? I'm certain this experience played a large role in the birth of the paranormal investigator and, to this day, that song sends a shiver down my spine…
I can remember seeing my grandmother quite regularly after that. In fact, I can remember seeing many strange things as a child. Otherworldly figures that would appear and disappear in an instant. There were so many that I began to give them names. I would often scare my little brother by saying that there was a face staring at us from the window or a "hairy man" watching us from the garden only for him to disappear into thin air. Years later my mother would tell me a story lost somewhere deep in my memories. I would often run into my parent's room crying and scared saying that "the lady is in our bedroom watching us again". My mother would try to placate my fears by saying that it was just her checking in on us, to which I would reply "But mum, you can't walk through walls!" Whether this all was just the over active imagination of an "intelligent" child or something supernatural I do not know. I do believe that children experience more of the paranormal than adults. Perhaps it is because they are closer to that dimension or perhaps because their brains run in the "alpha" cycle more than we adults (a brain cycle said to enhance psychic abilities). I do believe that we are brainwashed away from this magic during our lives by the deluge of information telling us that it's simply not true, that it doesn't exist. Perhaps we shut ourselves down to this part of our minds and the veil that divides our worlds thickens making it so much harder to see through. Perhaps we can reawaken this dormant part of our minds again if we simply believe?
My brother and I had a very difficult childhood. Our father most definitely walked the fine line between madman and genius. He was quite simply the cleverest man I have ever known but had a much darker side. He knew absolutely everything about everything but would always have that crazy look in his eye. He would change in an instant. He could be impatiently explaining something to you and, in the blink of an eye, would explode in an absolute inferno of rage. He was later diagnosed as having a "personality disorder". Living with him was like living in a minefield. You simply didn't know what you were walking into next. Years later a medium would tell me that this would be a hugely contributory factor to what she believed to be my "psychic ability". The fact that I would always have to gauge the mood of the house, without asking, would open the psychic synaptic links in my mind enabling me to pick up or feel the unknown without even trying. My constantly questioning mind always challenges this of course, although I am very intuitive and have had some very interesting experiences on subsequent investigations.
Many of you may find this hard to believe but my grandfather on my mother's side was a minister of the Plymouth Brethren. An extremely strict religious order that emphasizes "sola scriptura", the belief that the Bible is the supreme authority for church doctrine and practice over tradition. This obviously had a profound effect on my mother's religious beliefs and, consequently, my brother and I were dragged to church every Sunday without fail. Dressed up under the name of "Sunday School" (a name that automatically instils an aversion to it) I grew to pathologically hate the church on every level. Couple this with my difficult childhood and throw in a sudden and profound love of heavy metal and you can guess what happens next… Here heralds the birth of the "Devilman"…
I can remember watching the video to Iron Maiden's "Number of the Beast" on Top of the Pops at the time. The clips from all the classic old horror movies as the bands' singer Bruce Dickinson screamed out "666, The Number of the Beast". It was love at first sight… I immersed myself in the darker side of the Universe. I would constantly listen to Thrash and Death Metal. I would read Alaister Crowley, Anton Lavey and Carlos Casteneda. Books on the supernatural, witchcraft, Satanism, Shamanism and the Occult. I would revile the church and would eventually turn their crosses towards Hell. This was more than just a natural rebellion, this became a way of life. My bedroom walls were adorned with band posters and Satanic symbols and imagery. I can remember that, at the time, we had a deeply religious woman who would, twice weekly, clean our house. She would refuse to enter my den of iniquity, claiming it to be "The Devil's Playground". My mother was, of course, concerned for the welfare of my soul but I knew better…"Do what though wilt shall be the whole of the Law". I have no doubt in my mind that this time of my life brought me closer to the darker nature of things. Perhaps it even opened me up to entities of a more "interesting" vibration. All I will say is that it was an inspiring and extremely mind opening path in my existence and that it still follows me to this day…
In my late teenage years and under constant pressure at home I did what most other people do, I left home and got a job. I guess it was time to grow up a little. I settled down and bought a house. At the age of 26 I became a father to my beautiful daughter Taz. The house she grew up in was a strange one. Built in 1888, it had a very unusual energy. I remember being awoken one night to find the figure of a tall man in a top hat standing over the bed. I must admit I panicked and switched the bedside light on only for him to disappear. Over the coming years stranger things began to happen. I was not the only one to see this very same figure. Guests would also see it. People would stay over and their belongings would disappear, particularly the female's makeup. I was worried that they would think I was a secret cross dresser and was particularly embarrassed when, days later, the items would mysteriously reappear stacked up neatly on the coffee table, a particular trait that I have since learned to be that of a poltergeist. The house suffered from the usual things that go bump in the night but I remember one night in particular when I was awoken to an incredible din from downstairs. I thought that someone had broken in and, grabbing the nearest weapon I could find, a baseball bat that I kept under the bed for such occasions, I rushed downstairs. I stood outside the living room door with a trembling hand on the door handle. Flinging the door open, the sound immediately silenced and I was greeted by a quiet, ordinary room. Confused, I turned, only to hear the television burst into life of its' own accord. A very strange night indeed. I remember another evening when I witnessed a candle stick move a full 30cms across window ledge in plain view.
At the time I knew of a local medium who I subsequently called in an effort to explain some of this unusual phenomenon. She visited, one cold winter's day, and immediately entering the house sensed a very negative entity. She moved from room to room and eventually froze at the top of the stairs. She sensed the presence of a tall man in a hat and was immediately wracked by fear. She said that he had committed the most heinous crime on this very spot and had pushed a woman to her death down these very stairs. She left soon afterwards leaving me with a mixture of feelings and, of course, many more questions. Not long after that I sold the house and moved on. Strangely, an old school friend moved into the house many years later and experienced very similar phenomena, including the sight of the tall man in the hat. Obviously a very restless spirit, possibly wracked with guilt over his terrible crime…
I spent a very confusing time in life after that. In the year 2000 my parents divorced and, not long after that I ended a 9 year relationship with the mother of my daughter. I drifted, not quite knowing my place in the world. I even spent some of that time homeless, relying on friends, families, cars and sofas for a place to rest my head. I lived for a number of months during the cold winter sleeping on a camp bed in a friend's living room. He was a postman and, when he would leave for work at 4 in the morning I would jump into his recently vacated bed just to get some warmth. It was a very strange and eye opening time in my life.
During this time I would take my mother to a clairvoyant circle in Monmouth. She hated driving at night and I reluctantly became her chaperone for the evenings. It was on one such evening that I met a very well-known local medium and she and I hit it off immediately. She ran a local development circle and invited me to go along. I remember turning up with an open mind and over the coming years developed a close relationship with the group and its' leader. We worked closely together and I even spent 8 months living in her garden in an old American RV. I organised clairvoyant events for her and built up a thriving business in the esoterical. We travelled around the country holding evenings of clairvoyance and I became her right hand man. It was during this time that we hit upon the idea of forming a paranormal investigation team. "Spectraquest" was born with my clairvoyant friend dealing with the mediumship and I with the dubious title of "Technical Resource Manager". Over the coming years we ran events and investigated some of the most "haunted" venues this country has to offer. My understanding of the paranormal increased and I immersed myself into the field completely. I worked with some of the more famous names on the circuit and found a renewed vigour for life. I had finally found my vocation. I became adept at the technical side of the paranormal, not a million miles away from the alarm systems and computers I had worked on during my career.
The early days of Spectraquest and working with Richard Felix
We eventually set up a small local shop dealing in new age items and things of an esoterical nature. It was while working here that, one day, my life would change completely. One afternoon, much like any other, a strange, beautiful and crazy woman bounded into the shop. She said her name was Paula Meek and asked if I would I stock a number of Vampire novels she had written? We spent an hour together and talked of everything. She bounced around the shop with boundless enthusiasm and I scratched my head, wondering why I was strangely mesmerised by this woman.
She eventually left in the whirlwind she had arrived in and I was left breathless. We had without doubt shared a connection and over the coming weeks I would often find my mind turning back to that moment. Paula had told me she was a keen cyclist and I, stupidly had expressed an interest in improving my health by taking up the hobby up myself…but I didn't have a bike. The weeks rolled by without occurrence when one day, out of the blue the phone rang. It was Paula…"I know this sounds a bit forward…" she said…."shit she's going to ask me out" I thought, "…but would you like a mountain bike, a friend of mine is giving one away". I agreed while she stood true to her word and organized the bike for me. We stayed in touch over the coming weeks with my feeble attempts at cycling being the excuse. She would occasionally visit me at my flat in town and we would find ourselves talking for hours about spiritualism, the occult and the paranormal. Little did I know it but I was definitely falling for this girl.
I eventually plucked up the courage to ask her out one evening and, the rest as they say, is history. Under a starry sky, with the International Space Station gently floating by I fell head over heels in love with her. We connected on every level. She is my soul mate, the light to my darkness and the missing part to the jigsaw that is my life.
Paula and I enjoying a common passion….paranormal investigation
Paula moved in practically immediately. It was a natural progression and we both fell into a beautiful lifestyle together. Now, the flat we lived in was a very strange building indeed. I had always felt the presence of some other-worldly being present. We would often hear disembodied footsteps walking across the floor. Doors would open and shut by themselves. The TV and stereo would switch on by themselves and things would often disappear only to reappear mysteriously in another part of the building with no explanation. Paula, already a supernatural author had a similar interest as my own in the paranormal. In light of the growing phenomena in the flat I decided to introduce her to the Ghostbox. This piece of equipment needs no introduction and over the coming months we amassed some incredible evidence using it. The results of this can be seen in our "Ghostbox Sessions" video on our YouTube page. These sessions truly opened Paula's eyes to the world of spirit communication. She became as hooked as I was.
I went through a period of study in life and after a rigorous course in France I was bestowed with the title of Master Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming, hypnosis and Spectrum Therapy. I worked for some time for the charity Talking2Minds, a cause set up to treat the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in ex military. It was hugely rewarding to see the results achieved over a short period of time for these fallen heroes.
For reasons best left unsaid I fell out with my clairvoyant friend and left her employ on a bitter note. I was told I would never work in the field of the paranormal again….Never say this to a determined Scorpio male such as myself. I immediately decided to readdress the balance. Four friends came together with a common interest in the paranormal and Forest Paranormal Investigations was born.
Over the coming months we amassed a wealth of equipment, experience and media material. On November 5th, my 40th birthday, we pressed the launch button. The defiant bastard monster that was FPI was unleashed upon an unexpecting world. We had the experience, commitment and resources available to stand defiant in the wealth of adversity that we encountered in those early days. We investigated everywhere and on a weekly basis. Our exuberance and raw energy was unsurpassed. Within months we had chalked up more results than some teams had taken years to find. We approached the paranormal from an entirely different angle. Four very strong-minded individuals with a common quest to uncover the truth regardless of the consequences. Another case of history in the making. At the root cause of our ethos was a mixture of spirituality and technology. We would debunk everything leaving no stone unturned until we were left with that grey area known as the paranormal.
Serious Tech at St Briavels Castle
Our results spoke for themselves with some stating that "the ghosts seem to follow us around." It was at St Briavels castle that by coincidence one afternoon we bumped into a fellow paranormal enthusiast Ross Andrews. Ross was already an accomplished paranormal author with a string of successful books on the subject under his belt. He agreed to let us come along and help out at his next event which proved to be a great success. His support during our early days was incredible and we cannot thank him enough. Ross went on to feature us on stage at the Cheltenham Paranormal Festival where we delivered a fine performance and went on to meet CJ Romer, an acclaimed and televised expert in the field. It turned out that he had already heard of our success, was a regular visitor to our website and wanted to get involved with anything we had planned for the future. In early 2011 FPI hosted a charity event at the famous Woodchester Mansion. With the help of the Scream Team over £2,500 was raised for Cancer Research and an enjoyable night was had by all.
Riding high on my experiences it was in 2011 that my world fell apart. My father was already very ill and approaching the end of a 10 year battle with prostate cancer. I became his primary carer and spent most days with him. After an intervention from Paula and after 41 long years we eventually put our guns down. We became very close and it is with deep regret that I realised it had taken my whole lifetime to attain this. However it was the night of June 3rd 2011 that would change all of our lives' forever.
My brother Zane had been rushed into hospital with a sudden and unexpected illness a week previously and on that terrible night we were called with the news that he had taken a turn for the worse. His partner of 17 years and I rushed to the ICU of Gloucester Royal to find him on a bed hooked up to machines and with a drip in his arm. I don't think any of us believed he was in any real danger, perhaps we were in denial. I remember looking at him and, with hope enough for the both of us, I raised a thumb to him in an effort to convey to him that everything was going to be alright. He looked back at me and raised a thumb also. It was the last gesture I would see from him. We were huddled off to a small family room and were told that they had to sedate him, a tube in his throat to help him breathe. A doctor came in and I remember him telling us that Zane was "at a very sticky wicket". I shall always remember those words. At 3am in the morning I drove the longest drive of my life. I arrived at my mother's at 3.30am with the news that she should come with me to the hospital. No man or mother should have to experience that.
Zane battled away in whatever world he was in for the rest of the next day. We sat with him and held his hand, totally believing that he would wake up soon and smile his beautiful smile. At 8 o' clock that evening the doctors took us into an office and told us that there was little else they could do. Paula held my hand, my rock as always. We were given the terrible choice to carry on with little or no hope or turn off the machines and let him fade away. We chose the latter. 14 weeks previously Zane had become the father of a beautiful baby girl and she was immediately brought to the hospital. As she lay on his unconscious form, the machines breathing for him we all silently cursed the injustice of it all. We sat around him in disbelief as they turned off the life support. Zane and I had always had a common love of the band The Doors and in his final moments we shared a headphone earpiece each and listened to "The End". "This is the End, beautiful friend, this is the End, my only friend the End". As we watched the digital display of his pulse slowly drop I held my brothers hand in one and my mothers in the other. He slowly slipped away into oblivion and at 9.32pm was pronounced dead. The nurses removed the tubes and wires from his body and I remember vividly entering the room where he lay and kissed him on the forehead. He was so cold. I had spent his whole life looking out for him, fighting his battles for him but I had failed him in his final battle. I felt useless and lost. I remember going home to catch a few hours sleep and waking in Paula's arms. I have never cried as hard as I did that morning. Over 250 people attended Zane's funeral. He was a beautiful soul, a Light, Love and a true Legend…
My lovely brother, Zane and his daughter, Poppy
As my father was so ill he was not allowed into the ICU on the day of Zane's death and the next day I faced the dreadful task of telling him that his younger son had died. I watched his heart break and there was nothing I could do. I remember now the lowest single moment of my life. My father was very ill and was vomiting into a sink and, as I held his hair back for him, I looked down at his suffering and apologised that I had to leave to make funeral arrangements for his son, my brother. I truly believe that at that moment every drop of spirituality left me.
Over the next 4 weeks his health declined and eventually we were called into another hospital with news that another Heath was facing the end of days. My father was heavily sedated and we were told that he would not regain consciousness. In abject denial I knew that he would. I sat by his bedside every day, returning home to catch a few hours sleep when I could. One morning I walked into the private room to find my father sat up and looking at me. He had lost the ability to speak but there he was looking back at me, fully conscious and aware of me in the room. He spent the next three hours with my mother and I before he slipped back into the darkness. Within those three hours I watched as my mother and father forgave each other and fell in love again. My father would stare at the end of the bed as if surrounded by unseen faces, mouthing silent word to the congregation. He would then turn completely introspective and continue some animated dialogue with something in his mind. He would eventually come back to our world and look up at me with love and acceptance in his eyes. I looked down at him then and said "You've got all the answers now dad", he simply took my hand and pointed knowingly at the bottom of the bed as if to say "It's all there, can't you see it?"
A very strange thing happened on the day of my father's death. Months earlier I had purchased tickets for the Sonisphere Rock Festival. The Big Four, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer and Metallica were playing for the first time on one stage and I simply had to be there. My father was hanging on and with a heavy heart on July 8th Paula and I left for the weekend festival. Before I left I said goodbye to dad and jokingly told him to hang on until I got back. Sadly it was to be our final farewell. At 1pm as we arrived at the festival campsite I received the call from my mother that dad had passed away moments earlier. It was expected but devastating nonetheless.
Now my father and I shared a love/hate relationship for the band Slayer. I loved them and he hated them. They have been, and very probably always will be, my favourite band. As they took to the stage at 7.30 that evening I could almost hear my father's voice from years earlier telling me to "turn that shit down!" The weekend came and went. We enjoyed it as best we could celebrating the lives of our fallen and departed. It was only when we returned home that something very odd transpired. I had taken my phone to the festival to keep in touch with mum but, generally, it had sat redundant in my pocket the whole weekend. On returning home I was surprised to find that it had taken a serious of photographs inside my pocket on the night of my father's death. I flicked through a series of twelve photographs taken from the inside of my pocket. The first 4 were a blank, black screen but the fifth and sixth pictures left me speechless. There, on the screen, taken at precisely the moment Slayer had taken to the stage, was a black background with a perfect love heart in white. The remaining six pictures were once again a blank screen. My rational mind searched through the phone for the capability to do this. Perhaps some emoticon for texting purposes. I drew a blank. A google search later revealed that there was no such function on that particular model of phone. I can only assume that this was a message of love sent from my father and my brother. If anyone could do it they could. It still amazes me to this day.
In that incredible feat of love my belief returned. I am a great believer that even in the darkest of times something positive can be attained. As terrible as that time in our lives was it has made me stronger and more resolute in my quest to find answers to the mysteries of life after life.
In the coming months I inherited an old barn that my father had attempted to renovate. He had partially completed the task before he was denied his dream by several objectionable neighbours and the local planning committee. Before he had died I had promised him that I would do my best to accomplish his dream. Everyone said that we would never live there. After a combination of shrewd manoeuvres and good fortune we gained permission to finish the job and eventually live there. A year and a half out of my life and after several gallons of blood, sweat and tears that wonderful old building has become our home.
That pretty much brings everything up to date. FPI goes from strength to strength. In a little over three years we have racked up over 120 investigations. We have appeared on two episodes of Great British Ghosts with Michaela Strachen. We have featured in numerous local tabloids including two front page stories and have been interviewed by BBC radio. We have now become a real power player in the world of the paranormal. With over 25 years' experience between us of actual hands-on working in the field we have become the number one choice for events, media and professional investigation.
We approach the subject professionally and objectively. We cover every angle, debunk the necessary and scratch beneath the surface of the results we attain. We present the evidence and leave it up to you to make up your own mind. In this game there will always be believers, there will always be skeptics. There will be those who want to be scared and those who want to prove a point. There will be those who simply want to be entertained. Some will require enlightenment, some will just want to come along for the ride. We have to cater for all. Perhaps the strangest thing about the paranormal is that there is no definitive answer. Most phenomena can be explained by natural, scientific reason but there will always be that grey area. The area that you can't quite put your finger on. The one that defies rational explanation. Perhaps we will never have the answers. Perhaps, like my father, it will take the end of our days to provide them. I do know that we will always endeavour to uncover as much of the truth as we can with the time that we have left.
I hope this has given you an insight into my life and my interest in the paranormal. This is my journey so far. Who knows what lies ahead? One day I know I shall pass through that thin veil, joining the loved ones that seemed so far away just a single breath ago and I shall truly have all the answers myself…

(Originally printed in the Summer 2005 Issue of the MCOI Journal Beginning on page 10) Half way through college, during the Christmas season of 1974, I first tasted the adventure of life in Jesus. It soon seemed to me that the most difficult resources to find were the ones that answered questions about conflicting world views. In my eyes, the Christian leaders who provided answers in this area became giants. Little did I expect that … Continue reading

In the first two letters, Lewis plants in Screwtape's correspondence some philosophy and some ecclesiology.The philosophy is about the precariousness uses of argument. Screwtape dissuades Wormwood from using reason at all to corrupt his patient. "The trouble about argument is that it moves the whole struggle on to the Enemy's own ground. He can argue too;" Oh yes he can. And so can his strongest saints. Witness all the times in the book of Acts, … Continue reading
After our webcast, "500 Years after Reformation, Many Protestants Closer to Catholics than Martin Luther," someone posted this question; "Why do you believe these bible stories; are you just afraid of death?" In view of the fact that the fear of death has tormented humanity from the very earliest of times, that is a valid question. In Hamlet, Shakespeare asked the question of what happens after death with the poetic soliloquy, "To be, or not … Continue reading
The first time I recall being aware of the devastating power of Black Lies was probably in the 2000 election battle between George Bush and Al Gore. I was running my daily errands, and while at the Post Office, I witnessed the woman ahead of me having a near emotional breakdown. She was pleading with the postal clerk to not vote for Bush, and finally made the hysterical assertion, "Bush wants to kill women!" Now, … Continue reading

Good deception (by "good," we mean effective) uses language to guide one's thinking in a particular direction. Sometimes deception is harmless fun, as in the case of "magic" tricks, surprise parties, harmless pranks, etc. When our son, Lee, was a lad, he and his friend Mike were great "magicians," enamored with little tricks based on illusion, sleight of hand and/or misdirection – i.e. deception. One of his favorite (and most successful) tricks was called "Cups … Continue reading

BIGBANG's TOP apologizes to fans after getting caught for using marijuana
BIGBANG member T.O.P apologized for marijuana use on Sunday, June 4, 2017. In a handwritten letter titled "apology," T.O.P wrote, "This is Choi Seung Hyun. I would like to sincerely apologize for my wrongdoing, causing trouble and disappointment.
"I am too embarrassed to stand in public and apologize. I regret what I've done and feel distressed. I don't have an excuse.
"I deserve a punishment for hurting the (BIGBANG) members, agency, public, fans, and family. My heart aches and I'm very disappointed in myself. I'll regret this for thousands, tens of thousands of years.
"I won't make another irresponsible mistake like this again. I am sorry for not apologizing to everyone in person. I'll reflect on myself and my wrongdoing. I am so embarrassed of myself. I'm sorry."
Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency announced on Thursday that T.O.P had been indicted with marijuana use in April. Below is a timeline of how the case evolved:
- In March, Ms. Han, a 21-year-old K-pop trainee who was under investigation for marijuana use, states she used cannabis oil with BIGBANG's T.O.P at his place in Yongsan, Seoul, three times from October to December 2016.
- Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency visits T.O.P at Gangnam Police Station to conduct a hair drug test. T.O.P has been serving there as a military police band member since Feb. 9. He receives a positive result, failing the test.
- In April, Seoul police forwards T.O.P's case to the prosecutors' office. On June 1, the police shares that T.O.P is under investigation for violating national drug laws.
- On June 2, T.O.P returns to Gangnam Police Station from a four-day vacation, surrounded by seven managers to hide himself from the reporters. Since then, T.O.P has locked himself up in the barrack, eating cup noodles there instead of the regular meals at a cafeteria, according to Yonhap News.
- On June 4, T.O.P shares a handwritten apology through agency YG Entertainment. He is waiting for the prosecutors' office's decision on the case.
Unlike in the United States, both recreational and medical use is illegal in Korea. Smoking marijuana is a serious crime punishable for up to five years in prison or 50 million won (Roughly 50,000 USD). T.O.P might pay a fine like G-Dragon in 2011 or get jail time, depending on the cannabinoid concentration in hair.
If T.O.P gets jail time of a year and 6 months or more, he needs to re-enlist in the military. If the sentence is shorter, his enlistment maintains the status quo.
For the general population in Korea, drugs are rare to find and almost inaccessible. The notion of marijuana as a gateway drug hardly exists, and many would consider marijuana equally bad as hard drugs like cocaine, methamphetamine, or heroin, possibly because the Korean word for drugs, ma-yak, encompasses all drugs from soft to hard.
On Saturday, the rest of BIGBANG members (G-Dragon, Taeyang, Seungri, and Daesung) got on stage at Kyocera dome in Osaka, Japan, and apologized for "making the fans worry." G-Dragon ensured the fans, "We'll make sure this never happens again."
This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

Which Americans are the most stressed about their finances?
Women with credit scores below 700, according to an analysis conducted by Elevate's Center for the New Middle Class, an independent research arm of the online lender.
This group of women gets hit from all sides: They work more than women with higher scores, are more likely to have children and elderly parents living in their home and tend to be the head of their household.
Fifty-six percent of women with subprime scores say their finances cause them significant stress. About 45% of men with subprime credit scores say the same, as well as only 23% of women with prime ratings and 16% of men with prime ratings.
Seventy percent of women with subprime credit scores work full time, versus 62% of women with prime scores. They are more likely to work hourly jobs than salaried positions. Almost two-thirds of them say they live paycheck to paycheck.
The woman with subprime credit is 41% more likely to have children in her home than a prime woman. She is also 79% more likely to have an elderly parent living with her. She is also more likely to say that she manages checking accounts, sets the financial plan and makes decisions on major purchases for the household.
Women with subprime scores are three times as likely as women with prime scores to have lost a job in the prior 12 months, more than twice as likely to have had their work hours reduced, and are much less likely to have a safety net to save them from emergency expenses.
They are four times as likely to admit to having difficulty predicting next month's income.
They are 38% more likely than men with subprime credit to run out of money every month. More than four out of five of them run out of money at least once a year.
This leads to the need to borrow money just to get by. Almost a third of women with subprime scores have needed to borrow money to cover standard household expenses. And they borrow more than their prime counterparts for just about everything, except to purchase a home. In that wealth-generating debt, they lag significantly behind.
Only 39% of this group believe they have the skills to manage their finances, despite the fact that ongoing research from myriad sources has found women to be the primary financial managers of their households.
"Everyone talks about how women's financial situations lag behind those of men," Jonathan Walker, executive director for the Center of the New Middle Class, said in a press release. "However, we often forget that nonprime women have it even harder. When compared to prime women and nonprime men, nonprime women are faring worse than both groups. The data tell a story of women's increased burden, increased responsibility and increased need for help. It's more important than ever to arm them with the tools they need to improve their finances. Financial literacy training, coupled with the right financial products, could have tremendous societal benefit not only for nonprime women, but also for the next generation."
The research compared the responses of 1,217 Americans using interviews conducted Dec. 6-14, 2016. Of these, 730 were women.

Walking into CURVE New York on February, 25 mannequins representing ten years of iconic lingerie trends greeted me. While the lingerie styles displayed were aesthetically diverse, all the mannequins wore the same size. I feel like that's a metaphor for what it's like to be plus size in an industry still very straight size focused. So much design innovation…but when it comes to those trends appearing in plus, it feels like we're invisible.
A couple of years ago, I wrote an article on black-owned lingerie brands and it became one of TLA's most popular articles to-date. Despite what many business experts or industry authorities have to say about the importance of "neutral" or "colorblind" companies, it turns out many people want to support underrepresented or marginalized designers. This is especially when these brands respond to a need the larger intimate apparel industry has neglected for decades.
The visual story of lingerie is everything, and a brand's lookbook is one of the single most effective ways of transmitting that story. From a lookbook, you can learn if a brand is contemporary or traditional, luxury or inexpensive, French-inspired or American-influenced. A good lookbook conveys a brand's identity, and it's no exaggeration to say it can make or break a label.
Nubian Skin's 2014 debut was a watershed moment for the lingerie industry. After years of campaigns like "What's Your Nude?" being ignored (if not outright mocked), here was a lingerie brand created by a woman of color for other women of color. And the response was explosive. Not only was Nubian Skin featured in O Magazine, Ebony, Self, and Allure (not to mention MTV, The Los Angeles Times, Elle, and […]
Ever since the initial launch of Nubian Skin, there's been an increased level of coverage dedicated to brands making undergarments in shades of nude which look natural on a variety of skin tones. I've been very excited about the level of attention the issue and the brands have received, but disappointed that most of the write-ups haven't included more options for bras in larger band sizes or mention of the fact that these lines don't include larger sizes.

Pink Fresh Studio & The Cut Shoppe Blog Hop with Amanda De JongDec 02, 2015
Hello there! Amanda here today to share a layout I made using the Christmas Wishes collection and cut files from the Cut Shoppe!
I LOVE the designs Ashley has in her shop! I have an affinity towards triangles so this Geometric Graffiti background was the first thing I chose to work with. I just knew it would be perfect to showcase all the fun paper in the collection.
I broke out our Christmas decor a couple weeks ago, yes I am totally THAT person. I've added a lot of new decor this year so I have had a lot of fun playing with where to put things and how to arrange them. I'm so excited to finally having it all come together so I could start taking some pictures!
I mean seriously! Christmas Wishes may be my favorite Christmas collection ever. It just makes me happy! About as happy as my decor makes me :-D Along with a scattering of acrylic and puffy shapes from the collection I used the Winter Weather and Deck the Halls cut files from The Cut Shoppe.
Check out the Cut Shoppe blog to see how their Design Team has used Pinkfresh products today. Then be sure to check back the next two days for more inspiration! Be sure to comment along the way! One winner will be chosen on Dec 6th to receive a $25 credit to The Cut Shoppe!

Excellent Service, great communicationI ordered my favorite shoes and they must be the favorites of many others too because they were out of stock. They contacted me immediately to let me know the shoes would be in during the next 2 to 3 weeks and was it OK to wait. (Thank you for letting me choose) I said I could wait, no emergency, but they arrive within 10 days! Terrific!! They are my favorite shoes because they are comfortable out of the box and hold their great look for a long time.

First class service! I did my order online on a Thursday evening and the shoes arrived early on Saturday morning. The shoes were beautifully packaged, really good value for money and the parcel was tracked which meant that I was advised by text when it was received at the sorting office and after delivery. Shoetique are absolutely fantastic - I have never had better service anywhere and I would be very happy to carry on using them. Loved the fabulous Fit Flop shoes too and am wearing them now!

This minor course revision (to the co-requisite and the catalog description) accompanies the course revision to CH 220. That course currently is a four credit hour course, with three contact hours of lecture and three contact hours of laboratory. The laboratory portion has evolved to be nearly identical to CH 222, which focuses on laboratory techniques, and is not synced to either lecture course (CH 220 or CH 221). Rather than maintain the separate laboratory sections for the two lecture courses, we propose that CH 222 be the co-requisite to each. This will allow us greater flexibility in setting the enrollment for CH 220 (which has risen steeply in the past few years) and allow students greater flexibility in scheduling their classes.
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
1. Demonstrate compliance with the safety procedures and regulations that must be observed when performing organic chemistry experiments in a laboratory.
2. Perform simple separations using Thin Layer Chromatography.
3. Determine melting points and boiling points and use them to characterize organic compounds.
4. Perform Infrared Spectroscopy and use the results obtained to identify organic compounds.
5. Separate chemical mixtures by using liquid-liquid extraction and microextraction.
6. Use Gas Chromatography as a tool for separation and characterization of organic materials.
7. Complete small-scale synthesis of simple organic materials and characterize the products obtained using a variety of techniques.
8. Combine the use of different synthetic and separation methods in order to execute multi-step synthesis.

As people get older, the services of healthcare providers also becomes in demand. This is because increasing numbers of people will get admitted to medical centers, nursing homes, and even rehab centers. For this reason, healthcare teams need extra hands that can help them complete the job in the fastest, most proper way possible. Most of the job openings are intended for certified nursing assistants or CNAs.
First things first, you can't be a CNA if you have not been through a training. And this training has costs. In San Diego, tuition fee can go as high as $1000, while there are those that settle for inexpensive costs like $400 in San Diego. Great news is, there are free CNA training programs you might actually get into.
Start your research for free classes at medical centers, nursing facilities, and even at online learning facilities. Typically, these medical centers and nursing homes offer free classes with an objective of getting trained employees which can benefit their company. After all, the cost of hiring new workers just offsets the training tuition. Some establishments may even require you to work for them after the training. You can also get in touch with the local employment office for scholarship or grant details. This is usually announced to the community. The CNA program is made without charge by the state to those who pass a few qualifications. This already is in effect to most states like California for example.
CNA scholarship grant programs are also offered by the state government. You'll be assured that your CNA training course will be covered. And of course, who will ever disregard the power of the web? This is certainly a cut from your spending budget since you get to have training for free and experience the comfort and ease of your home. Free CNA training on the internet might just be your ticket to a great future ahead.Author: Paula Shelton

Welcome to our Awe-Mazing section of hand drawn mazes.
$12 each includes shipping in the USA.
All of the mazes pictured below are included. They are printed on card stock quality paper, and are spiral bound so they lay flat. Email me to inquire about buying the maze book.
In the beginning my wife, Jacqui, colored in a few of the mazes with colored lead mechanical pencils. The problem with the colored leads is that they only came in .07 size, and there were only 7 colors. We now color the mazes with Photoshop because we have a huge palette of colors to choose from. Photoshop really allows for much more creativity, and gives a margin to change colors completely, or maybe just lighten/darken a color until it's just right.
It takes me approx 14-16 hours to draw the maze. Then there is another 10-12 hours in editing and coloring. They are great art pieces to look at – and when you want to get closer and see the details – then you can follow the maze.
We strive to continually have new mazes so please check back often to see what we have to offer. We will also be offering a hard bound book in the very near future! This book will contain our mazes and also some fun stories and poems to accompany them.
Our single sheet mazes are sturdy, printed on Card Stock paper, and the colorful 11×8.5 pages and can be purchased in the Store! $2.50 each!
Feel free to browse through our collection of mazes below, click each photo for a larger picture. 🙂

Here's a couple videos I made while drawing!

A few days ago, the communications chief for the Tennessee GOP commented on my blog post which called the actions of the state's Republican leadership childish and self-defeating with regards to the speaker of the house fiasco.
I accused the Tennessee GOP of referring to President Barack Obama as Barack — Hussein — Obama as many times as possible for political gain, playing on the obvious name association with the deposed Iraqi tyrant Saddam Hussein.
To clear the record of our honorable, mostly laughable state GOP, Mr. Bill Hobbs said in a comment that I was mistaken about how many times Hussein had been used:
"False. Completely false.
The TRP used Obama's middle name the exact same number of times that Obama himself used it in taking the oath of office.
Now it's at least two. Today in the City Paper, I read this:
While Sen. John McCain "repudiates" using Sen. Barack Obama's middle name of Hussein, the Tennessee Republican Party is embracing it.
The Tennessee GOP sent out an anti-Obama press release Monday in which the Illinois Democrat was referred to as "Barack Hussein Obama." ...
When asked if Obama's middle name though – the same name as former Iraqi president and tyrant Saddam Hussein – gave off a different connotation than others, Smith suggested that Obama's parents needed to be contacted.
"You can call his momma and daddy on that one," Smith said."
Stay classy, Robin Smith, chairwoman of aforementioned state party. Good grief with this. Where to start?
First, Smith and the Tennessee Republican Party are naive to think this crap works (ahem, election?).
Maybe they are just sore losers and are reverting to (what they are denying is) bush-league name calling. No matter what they say, it's name calling. Point: Calling someone "Hitler" would also be a negative moniker.
Maybe, just maybe, the TRP is actually noble in their Husseining around. Perhaps they are trying to take the sting out of the president's middle name by repeating it until the hurt of hundreds of thousands slain Iraqis is gone. They are taking back "Hussein" for the good guys.
Let's explore the third — and most likely — reason the state GOP keeps on the Hussein train:
- In Arabic, Hussein means "good-looking." Barack: guilty as charged.
- Hussein is a popular name in Sweden. It ranked highest in 1999, when it was the 168th most popular name for baby boys in Sweden. In 2006, it ranked at number 206. I don't see why they are trying to get it good with the Swedes, but I'm monitoring the situation.
- GOPers are trying to give some props to fashion designer, Hussein Chalayan. Tennessee GOPers could use some style. OH SNAP!
With the venom gone and Hussein claimed for everyone, I'm going to start using the president's middle name in my everyday vernacular.
"Hey, bro. That shirt is real spiffy. The gals are going to think your incredibly Hussein."
"OMG. P Diddy and Miley Cyrus are here. This party's Hussein."
"The Tennessee GOP is having a bake sale, but those cookies aren't Hussein enough for me."
Heck, the popularity of the Tennessee GOP's "Hussein" movement might prompt Obama to pull a Coolidge. His given name was John Calvin Coolidge, but he started going by just his middle name. I like this option, but it's not plausible because the name "Barack" is perhaps too awesome.
But there is one thing this "Hussien" deal lays out perfectly. It gives historians the option of referring to Obama by three letters, a designation reserved for great presidents. JFK. FDR. LBJ. And now, BHO. (To be fair, Abe Lincoln and George Washington didn't have middle names.)
A conversation coming to a water cooler near you:
"Lunch today? KFC?"
"You're SOL. I brought a BLT. So what do you make of W's legacy?"
"From my POV, W was a WMD who gave the USA a figurative STD, leaving the economy DOA for BHO."
"LOL. Agreed. He only watched out for VIPs, leaving my IRA TKO'd and me with IOUs."
"We'd be better off if W was MIA."
"ROTFL. What are your acronymical thoughts on BHO?"
"BHO's TCB. He's fixing W's eight years of WTF with a BFB that will finally give taxpayers some TLC and ROI."
"On second thought, I will go to KFC. With BHO's tax breaks I have an extra $8 bucks this week."
Extra reading:
Juan Cole blogs he's proud of his president's name in "Barack Hussein Obama, Omar Bradley, Benjamin Franklin and other Semitically Named American Heroes."

Iraqi Soldier Kills 2 US Soldiers— Daily Kos Commenters Approve
Two US soldiers were killed by an Iraqi they were on patrol with west of Mosul.
It was the first such incident in Iraq.
Capt. Rowdy J. Inman (left) and Sgt. Benjamin B. Portell were killed by an Iraqi soldier west of Mosul.
The AP reported:
An Iraqi soldier allegedly shot dead two American troops while they were patrolling together north of the capital, the U.S. military and an Iraqi official said Saturday. The Iraqi official said the suspect has links to militant groups.
Three other U.S. soldiers and a civilian interpreter were wounded in the Dec. 26 attack, the military said in a statement. The shooting occurred as American and Iraqi soldiers were trying to establish a combat outpost in Ninevah province in northern Iraq.
According to Brig. Mutaa Habib Jassim al-Khazrachi, commander of the Iraqi army's 2nd Division, an initial investigation has indicated that the Iraqi soldier has links to local militant groups.
Al-Khazrachi said the shooting occurred in eastern Mosul as American and Iraqi troops were in a firefight with gunmen.
The Iraqi soldier who allegedly opened fire fled but was identified by other Iraqi army personnel and captured, the military said. Two Iraqi soldiers are being held in connection with the shooting, the statement said.
The U.S. military identified the two Americans killed as Capt. Rowdy Inman and Sgt. Benjamin Portell, both assigned to the 3rd Squadron, 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment.
MNF-I says that the incident is still under investigation.
Aswat Aliraq has more:
The U.S. side denied that this Iraqi soldier opened fire at U.S. servicemen because they sexually harassed an Iraqi girl, affirming that the scene where the incident took place was void of any civilians.
McClatchy Watch has the disgusting reaction from commenters at the leading Democratic blog Daily Kos.

Brian has shared fun moments of video games, hiking, paint ball, barbeques, and many more fun activities with Jeremiah. More importantly, Brian has been a role model for his Little Brother, who provides guidance with homework, productivity, girls, and all of the issues that accompany growing up.

"Even after I turn 18 and graduate from the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, I hope to be a part of Brian's life," Jeremiah said. "I view Brian as family, the kind that's part of your life forever."

Few people have stronger rooting interests in Saturday's Final Four showdown between Syracuse and Michigan than Dave Bing.
Bing is the mayor of Detroit and a former Pistons star who is beloved in the Wolverine State. On the other hand, Bing is a Syracuse legend. He starred for the Orange from 1963 to 1966, leading the squad to the Elite Eight as a senior. He even roomed with current Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim for a year.
But when asked who he'll be cheering for, the answer is easy: Syracuse.
"Who else would I root for?" Bing joked in an interview with the Syracuse Post-Standard.
Bing, who will be in Atlanta for Saturday's game, followed up his time at Syracuse with a stellar career in the NBA. During a 12-year NBA career, nine seasons of which were spent with the Pistons, Bing was the 1967 Rookie of the Year and a seven-time All-Star. His jersey has been retired by both Syracuse and the Pistons.
And even though he'll be rooting against the Wolverines on Saturday, Bing has followed the team closely. He's met coach John Beilein, who he says is "first class, he handles himself very well." Bing also told reporters that he's been impressed with the play of Michigan freshman Glenn Robinson III. Bing said he doubted Robinson III would stay in Ann Arbor for four years.
Bing ran for Detroit's top office in 2009 and won the race to finish former mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's term. He was elected again in November of 2009, and is up for re-election this year. One might think Bing would refrain from rooting against Michigan during an election year, but then again, he hasn't announced whether he's running for office again.

Lemaire Channel
Lemaire Channel is one of the most visited parts of the Danco Coast, and all of Antarctica for that matter. The narrow channel is 1.6 kilometers wide and 11 kilometers long (one mile wide by seven long) and is surrounded by sheer cliffs and often dotted with icebergs. What makes it so popular, aside from its stunning setting, is that the sea here is often unusually calm, protected by Booth Island along its northern side. Expedition leader Adrien de Gerlache named the channel as well as nearby Lemaire Island for Charles Antoine Lemaire, a French botanist and writer.

Welcome back, this week as we begin looking at God as our Abba Father, I thought it might be good to talk about some of the prerequisites for being a father. The first obvious prerequisite is one must have children! As we have talked about before, in Abba's case, the only way for Him to have children would be to adopt them. The apostle Paul speaks of this is Romans 8:15-17.
"For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, Abba! Father!" The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs-heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, in order that we may be glorified with Him."
I feel it necessary to warn you that on the surface this week's edition may seem a little bit dry. I believe though, if we think about what we are going to learn here about adoption, that we will begin to appreciate our being Abba's children even more.
So what does this adoption look like and just how did it happen? To answer those questions we must first put off our thinking around adoption as we know it today. To begin with, in the Roman culture, adoption never had to do with children! It was always adults who were adopted. The word translated 'adoption' is used only five times in the New Testament. Part of the reason for that is that adoption was unique to the Roman culture. Adoption was unfamiliar to the Jewish and Greek cultures. For more on this I am going to quote William Barclay in his commentary on this passage. We will touch on this important topic of adoption over the next couple of weeks.
"It is only when we understand how serious and complicated a process Roman adoption was that we can really understand the depth of meaning of this passage. Roman adoption was always rendered more serious and more difficult by the Roman 'patria potestas.' The 'patria potestas' was the father's absolute power over his family. In that absolute power he had complete disposal and control, and in the early days it was actually the power of life and death. In regard to his father, a Roman son never came of age. No matter how old he was, he was still under the 'patria potestas', in the absolute possession, and under the absolute control, of his father. Obviously this made adoption into another family a very difficult and very serious step. In adoption a person had to pass from one 'patria potestas' to another. He had to pass from the possession and control of one father into the equally absolute possession and control of another.
There were two steps. The first was known as 'mancipatio', and it was carried out by a symbolic sale, in which copper and scales were symbolically used. Three times the symbolism of sale was carried out. Twice the father symbolically sold his son, and twice he bought him back; and the third time he did not buy him back, and thus the 'patria potestas' hold on the person to be adopted was broken. After the sale there followed a ceremony called 'vindicatio'. The adopting father went to the 'praetor',one of the Roman magistrates, and presented a legal case for the transference of the person to be adopted in his 'patria potestas'. When all this was completed, the adoption was complete. Clearly this was a serious and impressive step.
So that is a brief look at the steps of ancient adoption. Next time we will look more at some of the consequences of being adopted. This is going to be an exciting and liberating journey. Our Father's heart is inviting us to travel this path with Him.
