What is x86, i386, i686 I just what to know.
And another silly question do you need DSL to run exploits because I only have Dail-Up( at the moment).
x86 is the name of a computer architecture (probably the one you have currently). i386 and i686 are names of processor generation types. i686 is about most recent processors, i386 is older but more generic.
Maybe should you explain more your question, and maybe should you -concerning your exploit question- read the AntiOnline faq quickly.
Life is boring. Play NetHack... --more--
Go there and read everything in the huge grey top with a purple banner.
When death sleeps it dreams of you...
STOP NEGGING THE PARENT POSTER FOR QUESTIONS! We all started out somewhere, even on the basics, so you need to remember that you too were once as green as he is, and had to work your way up.
386, 486, 686, and so forth are processor types. For example, Pentium III and IV are 686 processor types, Pentium II and I are 486, Athalons are 586 and so forth and so forth. I can't find an exact chart right now to explain it in more detail.
I might be wrong, but I thought pentium 1 is 586 and pentium 2 started the 686 range..
ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI.
When in Russia, pet a PETSCII.
Get your ass over to SLAYRadio the best station for C64 Remixes !
from http://www.dropline.net
i686 CPUs include Intel's Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium IV, and Celeron processors. AMD's Athlon and Duron CPUs also fall into this category. The original Pentium, Pentium MMX, K6, and K6-II processors are from the i586 family
You are completely correct. Guess who's tired, eh
You were asking pretty good inquisitive questions until you asked this:
And another silly question do you need DSL to run exploits because I only have Dail-Up( at the moment).
Based on your previous questions it would appear that you are on a quest for knowledge and that is understandable. However, running exploits can get you into some real serious trouble if you do it on someone else's network, the internet, or someone else's computer. If you want to toy with exploits make darn sure it's on your own computer and that computer is not connected to someone's network or the internet. Additionally when you are done with your test, you will need to sanitize the computer you used prior to using it on a network or the internet. Just because you might have downloaded one exploit doesn't mean that unknowingly you didn't receive another in the process. There's a multitude of threads in AO that will guide you through the cleanup process, but at least a reformat is in order. Don't take this lightly because you can easily be exploited yourself.
take heed to KissCool's advice: "read the AntiOnline faq quickly."
Connection refused, try again later.
Oh people calm the hell down, someone says the word exploit, and you all start crying read the FAQ, the FAQ don't say anything about asking questions about exploits, (Trust me, I have read the damn thing.) It just says this is not a hacking site.
**** the guy, could be compiling an exploit to see how it works. You guys assume to damn much. He hasn't said anything and you guys are accusing the poor bastard of being a 1337 wanna be.
LordWire.... Why does that name sound familiar. Hmm...
I know that name from somewhere.
As for your question, no you don't need DSL to run an exploit, once you get the exploit, it's on your computer, whenever you use it, it's just like running IE it might take a while, but it will run.
Good Point about the posts Whiz...
But, just to catch you up...
He was negged for that question, I greened him to bring him back up because they were just questions and he only had a few posts under his belt....
And if he is that new, then guidance is appropriate because of his question. If he's not, he won't listen anyway.
The original chip inside the first PC - (by IBM) was Motorola chip serial number 8086. Since the inception of it, chip manufacturers have tried to use the little '86 at the end... PC I was 8186, then came 8286, and so forth. The last chip serialled with '86 was the 486, but since most people associated that '86 with computer power, the next series was named "Pentium" - Intel tried to move off the numbers, and still does so even though we're up to Pentium IV's, they, in truth being 8986's, or 9086 depending on who's chips you're counting.
I know it's a bit redundant, and way moldy, but I hope it added to the discussion a bit.
Be Well!

Valerye is a MILF I have had my eye on for quite some time. She goes to this gym I always go to for hunting purposes. We all know I am not the type to workout and my giant gut would let you know this if you had some doubt. I always thought she was cute and kept checking to see if she would finally lose the weight and get into my comfortable hunting range. About six months into my recon she finally had lost 40 pounds and by then I had laid the ground work to tag and bag her. I asked her about her amazing weight loss and how she accomplished it. She mentioned juicing and I set up a little get together with her and I. She would bring the fruits and veggies and I would buy the juicer. We became diet buddies and she was excited to have someone help her stay on task. Once she got to my place with the fruits and veggies I realized she might have been hunting me this whole time. She showed up in a skin tight cat suit and looked FANTASTIC. I banged her all over my kitchen and gave her some of my protein shake. I think we are going to help each other tremendously. Then again, with my lazy, fat ass, I dont think it will last too long.

Hi, well I guess I have had time on all. I think all 3 are good improvements on last years board. It seems the year did a lot for maturing the venturi. The smaller is much more of a freerider, and just lightwind performance. Much smaller form factor. It is fast, and easier to just mess around with, going fast downwind is super fun on this board. Doesn't rides as easily flat as the two bigger ones. The bigger ones, are much more dedicated raceboards. I got the medium board first because the bigger ones was a little more intimidating. I am not sure why, because when you are on it, the board is super solid.discojuggernaut wrote:Anyone have any time-under-feet of all 3 sizes of 2012 Venturi and can care to comment on the type of riding that each one excels at?
I;ve only been in the north board for a very short while, so I'm not going to attempt any comparison. I like my board though.lisaped wrote:Anyone else can say a word about Venturi? How it compares to North and Airush? How is it comfortable to ride?
tautologies, did you ever get overpowered on 190? How controlable is it when overpowered?

This is/will be posted on Markco's site, when he has a slot open for it, but I figured I might as well post it here as well.
Here's another quick thing to keep in mind for making gold if you're Ally side on a PvP server, or if you're whatever on a PvE server. Quest:Recipe_of_the_Kaldorei
is a low level quest available to Ally only characters. How low level? Well, actually, level 1 ONE one (1). So, if you happen to scan your auction house, and find 5 full stacks of 10 Small Spider Legs for 10 silver a stack, you'd have all you needed to make a TON of gold.
Step 1: Make a bunch of Night elf toons. I usually name them Kaldorone, Kaldortwo….
Step 2: Log on to your toon with the spider legs and at least some money. Send 7 small spider legs AND 95 copper to each of these throwaway toons.
Step 3: Zone in to the starting area, and immediately run to Dolanaar. Pick up your copper and legs from the mailbox, make a hard left towards the lake, and talk to Zarrin to learn the cooking skill for 95 copper. Ding! The quest appears immediately over Zarrin's head, and you accept it and immediately turn it in. Sell off the extra Kaldorei Spider Kabob and your starting food, and you end up with 1 silver, 19 copper. Run back to the mailbox, send it to whoever, along with the 89 copper (leaving you broke), and delete the toon. Rinse and repeat for as many times as you can stand. While the entire process only takes about 2-3 minutes, it is extremely boring, especially if you have mods (CT mods always cover my screen when logging in a new toon. I guess I could turn them off, duh!)
Step 4: Collect your recipes, and go to the neutral Auction House in Booty Bay/Tanaris/Winterspring. I prefer Winterspring, since it's not that popular, because if you're high enough for it, you're high enough for Outlands. Posting with an alt on a PvP server at Booty Bay is extremely frustrating, since you can get ganked a lot, or even accidentally ganked by a high level going for the Bloodsail achievement, and his AoE spells kill you.
Now, if you only have access to one account on a PvP server, here's where it stops. I'd say experiment with posting at 60-100 gold, and keep increasing until sales drop off. You can even have another alt Post at 200-300 gold, to get people wondering why these recipes are so expensive. They look it up, they see it's Ally only, they buy it. Cha-ching!
By the way, Horde toons can do the same thing by buying the Recipe: Elixir of Giant Growth and Recipe: Savory Deviate Delight recipes from the Horde AH, and reposting at a large profit on the Neutral AH.
Extra Credit Step 5: If you have access to a second account, or another person you know plays WOW and isn't on your server, ask them to help you get it to Horde (If you're on a PvE server, you could get a guildy to make a Horde toon to help you out.). You post the Kaldorei recipe for 1 copper bid/1 copper buyout, and they immediately buy it out. They or you post it on the Horde Auction house for 80-100-130 gold, and wait for the money to roll in. Now, if you use Auctioneer to make money on the margin, this long of a process won't appeal to you. But, considering that you could get 8 of these recipes in under 20 minutes if you had the 8x7=56 Small Spider Legs and 8 silver, that translates to over 800 gold on Horde side. You (or your friend) can use that to buy mats for your professions, or buy the Recipe: Savory Deviate Delight at wholesale, or just buy Abyss Crystals to bring back over to Ally side and sell off.
Hope you liked it,

Hah that's a kickass way of making gold! One of the most original I've heard.ReplyDelete
I've added you to my blogroll man!
Dude I gotta say I tried this method and I've already sold 2 recipes in 2 days for about 160G and 180G. My 3rd is now in the AH and I've got 2 more waiting. I think overall this has to be the fastest way of making money (not counting glyphs @3.1 release) that I've come across so far.ReplyDelete

African Water Facility Promotes Safe Sanitation, Hygiene Education for Urban Poor in Liberia
The African Water Facility (AWF) offers a €1.2 million grant to the Monrovia City Corporation (MCC) to support a project aimed at increasing access to sustainable and affordable sanitation and hygiene services to over 800,000 urban slum-dwellers in Monrovia, Liberia.
This will be the first initiative by the Government to provide fecal sludge management services to unsewered poor areas of Liberia since the end of the civil war in 2003. The long-standing conflict put infrastructure maintenance and development to a halt, particularly in the area of water and sanitation, which led to a drop in access rates; a situation that continues to deteriorate in the unsewered informal settlements of Monrovia city, where 70 per cent of the city's population live.
Through a community-driven approach, the project will seek to enhance capacity for sustainable city-wide fecal sludge management. This will complement efforts by the Government of Liberia and development partners to improve service access rates and reduce the vulnerability of the urban poor to diseases caused by water contamination resulting from open defecation and septic tank overflows. It is also expected to build donor confidence in Liberia.
The AWF grant will cover 86 per cent of the cost involved in the implementation of an effective, efficient and sustainable fecal sludge management system, which will include the construction and rehabilitation of sanitation infrastructure, as well as the production of affordable crop fertilizer from the fecal sludge collected from the tanks.
"We feel privileged to be given the opportunity to revive the water and sanitation sector in parts of Monrovia, and excited to be involved in a project designed to address the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable citizens," said Akissa Bahri, Coordinator, African Water Facility. "This is a smart project with a slew of all-round benefits bound to restore people's health and dignity, boost the communities' economic growth and enhance food security," she added.
Some distinct features of the project include:
- the promotion of community-based enterprises and management teams to build local ownership;
- the involvement of local artisans for building the required septic tanks, as a way to create local employment;
- the use of a Public-Private-Partnership model for operating and maintaining the vehicles needed for emptying the tanks, to ensure service coverage in areas otherwise disregarded by the private sector; and
- the provision of technical assistance for devising an effective marketing and sales strategy to kick off the sale of fecal sludge fertilizer, to ensure a successful pitch to local farmers and boost sales.
It is hoped that the project will be scaled up to cover the entire unsewered areas of Monrovia, and replicated in other urban areas throughout Liberia.

Coming up: Head of the Fed
Sandy Levinson
Joseph Stiglitz, among other things a Nobel Prize economist, has an absolutely superb column explaining why Janet Yellen really is the clear choice over Larry Summers as the next head of the Federal Reserve Board. It will be interesting to observe Congress's behavior in light of the President's stunningly inept presentation of his Syria policy (and, for that matter, his toleration of a perjurious Director of National Intelligence and general lack of openness, even to members of Congress, on vital matters of intelligence. See, e.g., Alan Grayson's excellent column in the Times.) As a formal matter, there is obviously no direct connection between these decisions. But, as Mark Twain once quipped, the 13th chime of a clock puts into doubt the previous twelve. The President is rapidly losing whatever charisma remained after his re-election (which one might argue was the result of an almost futuristic get-out-the-vote campaign than anything he particularly said). And policies inevitably get intertwined because of political realities, even if the punditry can properly separate them. So I would expect that a greatly weakened President Obama, having been repudiated by significant numbers of his own party (and base) would have a harder time explaining why Wall Street's favorite is his pick to head the Fed. One might even see a filibuster made up of other than obstructionist Republicans (e.g., Bernie Sanders).
"which one might argue was the result of an almost futuristic get-out-the-vote campaign than anything he particularly said"
I would argue it was more about what Willard Romney said, especially the bit where he hired all of Cheney's favorite neocons to be on his war cabinet.
In fact, while I oppose action in Syria, I still thank the American voters every day for not returning the neocon cabal to the White House. What Obama is doing (like handing the matter of to congress, where it belongs) is so much better than what those bastards would be doing it's hard to even calculate.
What Scott Supak said, plus Romney's 47 percent comment.
As for Obama's resigning, I tend to agree that a parliamentary system would be better than what we have--it could hardly be worse. But we don't have one, and if everyone whom Obama nominates and everything he proposes gets voted down 435-0 in the House and 100-0 in the Senate, he won't resign, anymore than he'll start prosecuting war criminals and torturers instead of whistleblowers.
Why would any sane Senate confirm the appointment of either Yellen or Summers?
Both would continue the same Fed policies of printing massive amounts of fiat money which have grossly inflated the prices of world equity and commodity markets, setting both up for crashes. Yellen has championed this madness during her tenure with the SF Fed.
They both would continue the current unsustainable government borrowing and spending, which Summers helped design in the Obama administration.
They only differ in degree in advancing policies more familiar to Argentina than the United States.
Our SALADISTA, libertarian that he (on occasion) is, apparently yearns for an Ayn Rad-y head of the Fed in the nature of an Alan Greenspan who lost his economics embouchure long before his term expired, or who never really had the chops for the job.
There is a reason why Greenspan served five terms as a bipartisan Fed Chair across nearly all of the Reagan Prosperity (1983-2007) - the Fed stayed within its proper role and competence of maintaining a sound currency.
Methinks our SALADISTA is a tad "irrationally exuberant" about the accomplishments of Alan Greenspan as Fed Chair and his not observing the "bubbles" he was blowing out of his economic sax with joyous refrains of markets in admiration of Ayn Rand, finally shrugging when an obvious bubble burst. OOPS!
Hope everything will turn for the better and the country is and will be in good hands.

Naval Stores
North Carolina's production of naval stores-tar, pitch, and turpentine, all products of the pine tree-began in the 1720s and declined as a major industry by the Civil War. The abundance of pine trees in North Carolina and England's dependence on seagoing vessels made naval stores an essential commodity in the colony's economy. Great Britain even offered a bounty for naval stores, encouraging the growth of the industry. With a multitude of longleaf pines, the Cape Fear Valley, especially the region made up of present-day Harnett and Cumberland Counties, was the location of most naval stores production. Settlers in this region extracted sap from pine trees, collecting it in barrels. These barrels were placed on flatboats made of logs and transported down the Cape Fear River to Wilmington. By 1768 North Carolina accounted for 60 percent of the naval stores produced in the colonies.
The nineteenth century saw further expansion in the industry, with a resurgence beginning in the 1830s and continuing through the 1850s. In 1840 North Carolina produced 95.9 percent of all naval stores in the United States. In 1847 De Bow's Review reported that the state produced 800,000 barrels of turpentine, with an estimated market value of $1.7 to $2 million. The industry employed almost 5,000 laborers and had 150 processing stills. By the late 1850s naval stores became the South's third-largest export crop. This growth was further spurred by the completion of the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad in 1840 and the North Carolina Railroad, running from Goldsboro to Charlotte, in 1856, which extended transportation routes into the interior of the pine forest regions.
Because naval stores production was labor intensive, slave labor was crucial to its success. Slaves were used especially in the winter months, and conditions tended to be much harsher than in plantation agriculture because of the solitary and migratory nature of the work. On occasion slaves resisted their harsh treatment by running away or by setting fires in the forest so that turpentine could not be collected.
After the Civil War, the naval stores industry declined in North Carolina. This decline is attributed to several factors: the burning of some large pine forests by Union general William T. Sherman's troops decreased the amount of turpentine produced for a time; iron vessels eventually replaced wooden sailing ships, causing a reduction in demand for the industry's products; and, finally, synthetic solvents began to be used to thin paints, diminishing the need for turpentine.
The phrase "Tar Heel," the nickname for North Carolinians and the state itself, possibly originated from the fact that people working around turpentine stills often got tar on the soles of their shoes, allegedly helping them "stick" to their assigned jobs.

"The McGuire Family welcomed me with open arms from the moment I joined the company. Working among some of the best and most dedicated Realtors naturally pushes me to strive and work that much harder to achieve my personal and business goals. Our management team, marketing team, and support staff offer the best support in the industry, which allows me to perform my very best, which translates to tremendous success for my clients."
"I have so enjoyed working at McGuire and was delighted at how welcoming the entire McGuire community was when I joined. McGuire offers its agents wonderful marketing materials and support but it's the connection between SF and the East Bay that's the unique asset. Whether you are representing a buyer or a seller, the connection makes you stronger and better at your job."
"The marketing and management support in our business is tremendous. I'm going to areas which would be impossible if I didn't have management and marketing support. Our office meetings are so productive. Aldo is just amazing, his assessment on the market value and the street pulse is spot on. This is invaluable especially in our over-active market where every minute counts. My co-workers are professional, diligent, and most importantly positive. McGuire's AgentShare system multiplied my network a few folds."
"From the first day I stepped into the McGuire office, I instantly knew it was the right fit due to its close community and a very clear sense of support not only among agents, but also with management. It is a testament to the integrity and family community that several agents have been at McGuire for 15+ years. Within weeks of starting, Charlie Moore, our CEO, invited me to a Giants game. As a new agent, it meant so much to me, and exemplified the personal relationships and support that McGuire gives within our community and which translates to our clients."
"When I considered an affiliation with a Real Estate firm 10 years ago, I was immediately drawn to McGuire because of its "boutique" presence. That was 10 years ago! My association with McGuire has provided me with a brand whose prominence in the local market is well recognized. The fantastic in-house support of everything from IT to Marketing as well as its well-regarded management team is why I stay with McGuire."
"McGuire has been making me look good, and helping me do good work, for 20+ years. It's a topnotch company, with a terrific staff and friendly, team-oriented agents. McGuire feels like HOME to me."

From Spartanburg to Greenville, from Greer to Landrum, from Lake Bowen to River Falls, our Realtors know this market. And they will do whatever it takes to exceed your expectations.
"Let me begin by saying that buying my first home was very stressful for me. Jeanne suggested loan approval prior to looking at any properties. After looking at several places, I found the home I wanted to purchase. Jeanne walked me through the entire process step-by-step; from making the offer, home inspeciton and the counter offers making sure I got the very best deal possible. She took the time to explain the paperwork used during the closing and made sure I understood what I was signing. Jeanne made my home buying experience easier by being there each step of the way. I would recommend Jeanne to anyone looking to either buy or sell their home. She knows the real estate market and I will use her again when I sell my home. "
- Kerry - Spartanburg, SC
"We worked with Jeanne Thompson in selling our current home and buying the home that we'd move to. The best decision we made in both situations was asking Jeanne for help. Her attention to details, coupled with her knowledge of the Upstate area and willingness to get to know our family's needs made the process of buying and selling as pleasant as possible. We were pretty inexperienced buyer/seller and Jeanne knew exactly how to help when we were unsure, uneasy and treading in waters unfamiliar. If we were going to buy or sell another home, we would without any hesitation ask Jeanne for her help. We would recommend her to anyone that is looking for assistance in the real estate market."
- Paul - Spartanburg, SC
"We had the privilege of dealing with Mr. White from the time we were first looking for a rental prior to our move to Spartanburg to the time we sold the house that he found for us, approximately 2-3/4 years later. . . I don't know anyone in Spartanburg that understands the real estate market better than Lewis and and I don't know anyone that has a sincere and personal connection with more people in Spartanburg than Lewis. We enjoyed every minute of our relationship and would highly recommend him and his company's services to anyone."
- M. Posey & S. Santana - Spartanburg
"We have used Jeanne on 3 of our home purchases, and will never use any other Realtor. She is extremely knowledgeable about the area, professional and never hesitates to humor any request - no matter how foolish it may sound. She listens to your wants and needs, doesn't push you towards one home or another, but, somehow, always seems to know what is right for yur family - even before you do. Her patience with us during all of our home buying experiences was incredible; our kids still rave about Miss Jeanne and always want to stop by and see her! She is a true gem and we send anyong looking to buy or sell a home in this area her way."
- Allison - Inman, SC
"Lewis White was the most knowledgeable realtor we interviewed before listing our mid- century modern home on Ivy Street. Lewis is very familiar with the Spartanburg market. He was very helpful in establishing our sale price and expectations. We are extremely happy we listed with Lewis. We had five showings within the first week. Lewis brought us an acceptable offer within a few days of our initial showings.
Lewis guided us through the contract, inspection stages, negotiation and a successful closing. Lewis was able to work with all parties to enable us to close on this sale and then close in Charleston on our new house the same day !
My wife and I highly recommend W Lewis White Company Inc."
- Gene Kendrick - Spartanburg

Joys Of Spring can finally realise her potential with a win in the Pegasus Pumps Ltd Fillies' Handicap at Newbury.
A half-sister to Group Three winner Albabilia, Joys Of Spring has shown flashes of promise for trainer Luca Cumani in four starts to date, with her greatest strides made in two starts this term.
The Invincible Spirit filly chased home Abseil at Yarmouth back in April with that one going on to land a competitive event at Epsom and finishing a fair eighth in the Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot.
Joys Of Spring was duly sent off favourite on her next start and it was disappointing that she was turned over by a 20-1 outsider, albeit by just a short head.
The winner has done little to boost the form since but off a mark of 78, she has been given a reasonable chance on her first foray into handicap company.
The owners behind Star Of Spring lost their Classic hope Chriselliam during the winter but this filly can brighten their mood in the Pumpmatic Pump Stations By Pump Technology Maiden Fillies' Stakes.
A 100,000 guineas recruit last autumn, she has some big sales race entries later in the season and hails from a good family.
Glebe Spirit has drawn a blank in seven outings so far but his time can come in the Jung Pumpen & Pump Technology Handicap.
He made little impact in maiden company as a juvenile but has looked more at home in handicap company this term, although his rating has fallen a touch from a starting point of 69.
Richard Hannon's charge posted his best effort yet when eased to a perch of 66, finishing a half-length second at Windsor last week.
Even though he was overlooked by Richard Hughes on that occasion, Glebe Spirit kept on well enough and another 1lb ease in the weights can only help his cause.
Tafawuk is the choice in the Racing UK Anywhere Available Now Handicap at Beverley.
The five-year-old has gone well over a year without a win now but that is something of a misleading statistic as he actually spent a total of 336 days on the sidelines until returning this May.
He clearly improved for that slightly lacklustre sixth as he claimed second next time out before a step up in trip to a mile and a half at Goodwood seemingly failed to suit.
Roger Varian drops him back to just shy of 10 furlongs on the Westwood and that move can pay dividends.
Valantino Oyster can follow up a recent Carlisle win with victory in the Racing UK Android App racinguk.com/Mobile Handicap.
The event he won at the Cumbrian circuit was nothing special but the manner of his victory suggested that he would be a likely type to follow up,
Hamble has made a good start for new handler Giles Bravery and can keep up the good work in the pipecenter.co.uk Handicap at Brighton.
He is now at his fifth yard but successfully exploited a very reasonable mark when winning at Lingfield earlier this month.
The handicapper has put him up 6lb for his length-and-three-quarter victory but now he has a confidence-booster under his belt, Hamble could go on again.
The Rattler Obrien has been in good heart of late and is the pick in the Gloria Hera Edwards Celebrating Permanent Residence Handicap Chase at Newton Abbot.
BALLINROBE: 5.10 San Gabriel, 5.40 Noble Call, 6.10 Organise, 6.45 King High, 7.15 Sea Of Steel, 7.50 Mon Carlos, 8.25 Jumping Juju, 8.55 Alton Bay.
BEVERLEY: 1.45 Flatcapper, 2.15 Mange All, 2.45 Tafawuk, 3.15 Miss Lucy Jane, 3.45 Valantino Oyster, 4.15 Jacbequick, 4.45 White Flag.
BRIGHTON: 1.30 Birdie Queen, 2.00 Fast Scat, 2.30 Fair Value, 3.00 Hamble, 3.30 Indian Scout, 4.00 Elle Rebelle, 4.30 Kakapuka.
NEWTON ABBOT: 6.00 Penzflo, 6.30 Top Wood, 7.05 Dovils Date, 7.35 The Rattler Obrien, 8.10 Fintan, 8.45 Nether Stream.
NEWBURY: 6.20 Eton Rambler, 6.55 Secret Spirit, 7.25 Star Of Spring, 8.00 Glebe Spirit, 8.35 JOYS OF SPRING (NAP), 9.05 Monarch Maid.
DOUBLE: Joys Of Spring and Tafawuk.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder involving recurrent seizures. A seizure, also called convulsion, is a sudden change in behavior caused by increased electrical activity in the brain. The increase in electrical activity may result in unconsciousness and violent body shakes or simply a staring spell that may go unnoticed. There is no known exact cause for epilepsy but a number of factors may be at work. It can be brought on by anything that affects the brain, including tumors and strokes. Sometimes epilepsy is inherited. Often, no cause can be found.
Epilepsy is just one of many conditions that may cause seizures. Others include head injuries, infections in the brain, low blood sugar, drug use, and alcohol withdrawal. On the other hand, seizures are just the tip of the iceberg for people with epilepsy. In addition to working to prevent seizures, people with epilepsy typically face an array of other challenges including cognitive, social and medical problems. The good news is that epilepsy is not considered a degenerative disorder. That is, it can be controlled without getting worse and most epilepsy patients lead full and long lives.
There is an inherent relationship between sleep and epilepsy. Sleep activates the electrical charges in the brain that result in seizures and seizures are timed according to the sleep wake cycle. For some people, seizures occur exclusively during sleep. This is especially true for a particular type of epilepsy known as benign focal epilepsy of childhood, also known as Rolandic epilepsy. When seizures occur during sleep, they may cause awakenings that are sometimes confused with insomnia. Epilepsy patients are often unaware of the seizures that occur while they sleep. They may suffer for years from daytime fatigue and concentration problems without ever knowing why.
For people with epilepsy, sleep problems are a double-edged sword; epilepsy disturbs sleep and sleep deprivation aggravates epilepsy. The drugs used to treat epilepsy may also disturb sleep. Because lack of sleep is a trigger for seizures, achieving healthy sleep on a nightly basis is essential for people with epilepsy.
People with epilepsy also have a high incidence of

CANNES, France — For the better part of two decades, director James Gray has been making textured dramas about people, often immigrants and their children, who experience all manner of frustration and struggle.
It prepared him well for the events of the last five years.
Gray came to the Cannes Film Festival in 2008 with "Two Lovers," an immigrant-themed love- triangle story starring Joaquin Phoenix, Vinessa Shaw and Gwyneth Paltrow. Though many would later regard it as a bravura piece of European-style melodrama, it was poorly received in the echo chamber of Cannes reviewers and even booed at some screenings. The film looked at a man who seemed under the influence of his mother (Isabella Rossellini), and some scoffed at for what they thought was dated Freudianism, among other things.
He tried to rebound by signing on for a studio adventure film called "The Lost City of Z" starring Brad Pitt, but after several years of working on it, the project fell apart.
PHOTOS: Cannes Film Festival 2013
And yet a half-decade later, Gray, 44, has come back to the terrain that started this spell of unease — back to Joaquin Phoenix, back to immigrants and back to Cannes, where this weekend he is premiering his first movie in five years, "The Immigrant." Set in the shady world of 1920s vaudeville on New York's Lower East Side — and offering the latest effort from a director who has, uncommonly, carved a career on his own terms — its very existence is testament to a kind of artistic fortitude.
"I'm not sure I would call it fortitude. Maybe foolhardiness?" he said with characteristic gallows humor when the notion was suggested to him.
The director was sitting at a restaurant at one of the city's glitziest hotels in the circus that is Cannes as evening descends. Across the street, a band was performing as part of a live French TV show, and two tables over Alec Baldwin had just told his dining companions that a waiter was far too young to override his choice of sparkling water.
But for all the bling, this is also a place where a serious filmmaker like Gray, whose movies have always played well on this side of the Atlantic, is an A-lister. On the walk back to his hotel he'll be stopped by a middle-aged French fan and asked for a photo. (He obliges, reluctantly.) One of his agents the night before was marveling at the experience of attending a French club with the director. "James Gray is a rock star here."
CHEAT SHEET: Cannes Film Festival 2013
Gray drops a new track with "Immigrant," which will open in U.S. theaters courtesy of the Weinstein Co. this fall and offers surprisingly topical overtones.
In it, Phoenix stars as American Bruno Weiss, a flawed and manipulative vaudeville show operator who doubles as a pimp. His newest charge is Polish Catholic immigrant Eva (French actress Marion Cotillard, speaking a surprising amount of Polish), newly arrived at Ellis Island with her sister. As her sister is quarantined for tuberculosis, Bruno preys on Eva, taking her in as part of his troupe of performer-prostitutes. She resists at first but needs money to bail out her sibling. Jeremy Renner costars as Bruno's cousin and rival Emile, a Chaplinesque performer who takes a shine to Eva, and who is the drifter to Bruno's businessman.
Despite's Bruno's odiousness, the film walks the line of much of Gray's previous work: It shows characters in all their flawed messiness but neither condemns nor pities them. "The point of the movie is that no one is beyond redemption," Gray said. "A lot of people say art should be about showing something darker. But I believe it should also be about extending our sympathy."
In movies such as "Two Lovers" (inspired by a Dostoevsky story) and "Little Odessa," a crime saga set in Brooklyn, Gray has often dealt with the harshness of immigrant life and the tension between tradition and opportunity, as generations clash over the best way to take up new lives. "The Immigrant" is an origin story to all of his work, showing the touchstone American event for many of the characters we've come to know.
Gray shot the slow-burn drama around New York, including on Ellis Island and on a Bronx street that doubles for the narrow sidewalks of the Lower East Side. ("The streets there are all boutiques now," he said.)
And though it's hardly political in a literal sense, Eva's resolve, burnished by her sensitivity, makes an implicit pro-immigrant case.
"The immigration debate was a lot of what I was thinking about when I was writing this movie," Gray said. "What so many on the right say about Latino immigrants was what people said about the Jews, the Italians, the Irish. And they helped make this country great. People say we can't have an open-door policy." He paused. "Why not? Look at France. They don't embrace immigrants, and they don't have the same dynamism as a result."
Raised in New York, Gray has lived in Los Angeles since the 1990s (he currently resides in Hancock Park with his wife and children and is semi-famous in entertainment circles for raucous weekly dinners he cooks for feisty guests like Thomas Haden Church and Robert Duvall). He described the period between "Two Lovers" and this film as more than just creatively vacant.
"People assume movie directors are rich, but I was in trouble financially. If I didn't get this movie made, I would have been in trouble," he said.
The economic necessity sparked something in him. As "Z" was starting to crumble in 2010, he began writing, drawing on a Russian émigré grandfather who spoke little English and pined for the old country ("I didn't like him very much, to be honest") and a story from a great aunt about a neighborhood vaudeville performer who capitalized on but also took care of young immigrant women.
He was happy to be back in this realm, though he admits he had been frustrated by Phoenix, with whom he's worked on four of his five films. In 2009, Phoenix famously appeared in character as a spaced-out rapper for an interview with David Letterman. The actor was ostensibly there to promote "Two Lovers" but barely talked about the movie.
When Phoenix called Gray — who with his family had for a time temporarily lived in Phoenix's house — and told him it had all been a gag, Gray was initially upset. "But who else was I going to hire on this? He's the best."
Critics may think so too, with Phoenix given a showstopping moment in the new film's climactic scene that's the stuff Oscar campaigns are made of. "I know, shameless, right?" Gray said, a twinkle in his eye.
Like Phoenix, the director was a wunderkind of sorts, making 1995's "Little Odessa" when he was in college. The movie won critical plaudits, but making it had its humbling moments.
"I was walking around in college in the early 1990s like I was the greatest thing since sliced bread," he said. "I mean, 23 years old and working with Vanessa Redgrave and Edward Furlong and Tim Roth? And you know when it ended? March 9, 1994. Matt Reeves [the director, a good friend of Gray's] came with me, and we walked to the Raleigh screening room to watch an assembly of 'Little Odessa.' I thought, 'The masterpiece has now arrived.' It was the worst movie ever. It made no sense. My confidence was destroyed."
On the eve of his new premiere, Gray says he's even more on edge, partly as the result of "Two Lovers" at Cannes, which was painful. "I mean, they booed me," he said, still sounding wounded. "This was a film made for all the right reasons, and they booed me." He came back the next year, but from a safe distance — on the competition jury.
Still, he persisted with an unusual career: five directorial efforts, all done on his own terms. This film was financed independently with the help of his agency, CAA. "I grew up in a semi-attached row house in Queens. My father said, 'You'll never be able to make it as a director.' He said, 'Forget it; go into computers.' The boos are the cost of being lucky. But they're still hard to hear."

In the spirit of holiday festivity I wanted to take Lillian to the reindeer farm in Palmer. Remembering past trips made me dig out this little journal gem from Christmas 2001:
The boys and I just got back from Palmer to visit the reindeer farm in the valley, about an hour north of Anchorage. David [age 2] and Spencer [age 5] couldn't wait to check out the deer and see if they were in good flying condition.
When the tour began instead of the customary two or three adult guides, we were met with a teenager who obviously was not enjoying our hardy 10 below temperatures. She silently handed us some cups of feed and led us out to the raised, fenced deck that overlooked a large pen and about 35 reindeer. FYI: all reindeer have antlers, male, female, and fawns, an important piece of information as our story unfolds.
She gave us no instructions other than a casual gesture toward the pen and a warning to stay away from the big male named Ruldoph who evidently has such a mean temper that he'd recently been castrated, a Christmas bonus that had not improved his disposition I'm sure.
Spencer was hanging back so I went first, gingerly stepped through the gate down into the pen. It was difficult keeping David upright who, in his bulky winter gear, kept slipping on thick puddles of frozen reindeer urine and though eager to see the animals up close, was nervous once he was at tooth-level.
Immediately five or six reindeer were upon us, looking for food, but reindeer aren't tall and their antlers were right in my face. They crowded around us from every side, blocking our way back to the deck, and as I realized I was surrounded by strange animals with weapons on their heads I started to worry about David, who struggled as my grip tightened.
They jabbed at me with their antlers, stepping forward with their heads lowered and tossing up their wracks into my body and face. Reindeer may not look particularly strong, but they can really throw things around when they want to and I went from "slightly nervous" to full-blown "anxious" as their pushing grew more aggressive.
Despite my rising panic about the surrounding situation I could tell there was movement behind me but my attention was focused on keeping the animals from jabbing David or keeping him from slipping and being trampled. That's when the teenage guide jerked to life and squealed, "Look out! Rudolph is behind you!"
I heard a puffing sound just before I was hit by a full set of Rudolph antlers. He'd charged at my legs and caught me, throwing me up against the antlers of the reindeer in front of me, pinning me between them. Luckily David had slipped from my hand and was on the outside, unhurt, but there I was, stuck between two killer reindeer while the guide did nothing more than repeat, "Watch out!"
"Well what am I supposed to do here?" I finally snapped, irritated at her pointless directions. She gaped for a second. Then Rudolph suddenly stepped back--I thought he was backing up for the kill--giving me enough room to escape when the guide, finally earning her keep, entered the pen and chased him off.
Who would have thought Rudolph had so much anger? Luckily he didn't break the skin, but I've got purple bruises up and down the back of my legs as a souvenir--forget about the bulls of Pamplona, watch out for the reindeer of Palmer. Needless to say, the boys wanted no part of life in the pen after that, they were content to pelt the animals with feed pellets from the fence. Merry Christmas all.

We enjoyed reading Lee's Scattante Story entry because of his commitment to riding and just for his ability to turn a good phrase. Here's a picture of Lee back in racing shape, tearing up his local crit, but read on below to learn about Club RAW and the cold winter rides that got him motivated to race once again:
Like many who have come to own a Scattante, my story began online as I tried to find a frame for less than it costs to stuff myself with Sushi and booze.
I was once a cyclist and a bicycle mechanic. But as I looked through craigslist, I was just someone years apart from any athletic accomplishment, looking for a way to get downtown without paying for parking or fighting the bus schedules.
A friend of mine from the college rowing team was the first I knew to own a Scattante. He liked the bike a lot. He was 6-foot-7 and it fit him and held up to all the thrashing – from the sprints between the boathouse to the engineering campus, to the bar scene of Madison, Wis.
His Scattante was black – all black, because he'd gotten some stripper from the boathouse to take off the decals and make it solid and maybe somewhat mysterious.
When I found my Scattante, a cyclocross frame, I kept the decals. "Scattante" was a mystery to me. People here in Wisconsin generally didn't recognize the word as Italian. I didn't recognize it as Italian; it's not one of the words I came across while watching "Breaking Away" or reading "A Farewell to Arms." And it had some of the same rhythm and feel to it as names around here: Pewaukee, Wauwatosa, Muskego.
My rides on it started in September a few years ago; I'd cover the three miles from my house to the Capitol Square twice each day. That seems like trivial distance to me now, but I recall feeling stronger as the days went on. I got fenders and put on a hat and gloves. My job required me to dress formally, so I typically rode this bike in worsted wool and leather soles.
In November, I had an idea with a friend who was also riding each day to the Square. We called it Club RAW – or Ride All Winter. I learned that studded tires help with ice and hard-pack, but things still got squirrely in the grey, tire-rutted stuff that I called churn. The Scattante cut through the nighttime snow that was fresh, bright and sharp and also bounded over the refrozen treads. I saw how a night I'd assumed to be cold and dark and dismal can be the opposite when passing through it on a bicycle.
After the lakes opened up and the bike was clean of all its briny grit and grime, I started to do longer tours. I raced the bike path hotshots when someone would throw down a sprint. I started to think about the last crit I raced, almost 10 years ago, where I was behind the leader on the final lap and struck my pedal to slide out in the second corner.
So I gave it a go. The Scattante that I rode under those glowing winter nights was the ticket that got me where I am now: riding strong again, racing, reaching for something.
And bicycle racing is the most exhilarating sport I've ever known. The feelings from it pour into my mind, unpredictably, in full clarity. All of a sudden, I'll be back in a corner that turns into the blazing sun, up a climb when the burn doesn't mean I'll be dropped, under the spray of a water bottle, feeling the sting of salt.
Bicycling and racing is a permanent experience: I have all the corners, descents, breakaways and crashes here with me, and they got there because of a good deal on a Scattante.

PARIS — French President Francois Hollande and the new Syrian opposition leader announced plans Saturday to install an ambassador to represent Syria in France.
The surprise move came after talks at France's presidential palace between Hollande and Moaz al-Khatib, head of the newly formed Syrian opposition coalition. France recognized the coalition days after it was formed on Sunday — and so far is the only Western country to do so.
Al-Khatib said the new envoy will be academic Mounzir Makhous. He has four doctorate degrees and belongs to the Muslim Alawite sect of Islam, like Syrian President Bashar Assad, al-Khatib said.
The new envoy was at the talks Saturday in Paris.
More than 36,000 people have been killed since the Syrian uprising against Assad began in March 2011 and the new coalition is pressing for the means to defend Syrian civilians.

I was reading through some posts at my local Atheist web site, from which I am banned, and came across this interesting article.
To look at this personally, I have no views on blasphemy, if somebody doesn't want me to blaspheme, or draw Mohamed, because they would feel offended by it, I would then not blaspheme, nor would I draw Mohamed. (please feel free to tell me not drawing Mohamed is offensive to you if you like:)
I then looked at the UN's view on the death penalty. (I thought about a compromise, get rid of the death penalty first, and then I'd agree to the blasphemy law, but that would be a stupid idea, the death penalty should be abolished regardless)
And Islam's view of the death penalty in relation to blasphemy.
And Christianity.
I have no problem with not committing blasphemy, I think it's a good personal choice to never commit blasphemy, but to make an international law out of it is a little scary. The main reason why it is scary is because; what is offensive to one person may not be offensive to another. What one person considers blasphemous may not be considered blasphemous by another. This law can only ever be judged by using personal opinion, it can never be judged objectively in any way.
Any opinions out there? Or problems with my views on the subject?
Views: 391
Leveni, the "N" word is just another word, like it or not. Its problem is that it has been given significance out of proportion with what it represents. It is a racial slur, like "Spick" or "Wop" or "Kike," but made far more notorious by its association with slavery in the United States.
As with any such word, the problem is less the word itself, but people's REACTION to that word. That reaction, like the reaction to blasphemy, is LEARNED ... and if it can be learned, it can be unlearned, even as we have unlearned any kind of consideration or respect for deities or the beliefs associated with them. In this day and age, we in the US have yielded such power to one lousy word that it holds us in thrall, but with very interesting conditions. I can't help but note that black people in places employ this word all the time in general conversation, and comedians like Chris Rock use it for shock value in front of black and white audiences.
If a WHITE person uses it, though, the reaction and impact is an entirely different matter. Such a person is immediately looked at askance, and will almost certainly be considered a racist. It is the poison-pill word to end all poison pills. Interestingly, Dan Jenkins attempted to counter this trend in his comedic novel, Semi-Tough, where his main character, a white running back for the New York Giants named Billy Clyde Puckett, delivers his own take on the "N" word and observes its use by him and his teammates of both colors. I should note, though, that Semi-Tough was originally published in 1972, long before the advent of the concept of "political correctness."
It's still down to "sticks and stones," guy ... combined with our own stupidity about language and overreaction to certain combinations of vowels and consonants which haven't the power to so much as muss a hair on our heads, let alone do hard, physical injury. This is true whether we're talking about racial or religious slurs. Stipulated, black people exist where god does not, but people, black or white, CHOOSE how to react to words they hear, and that choice is LEARNED. And to close, I have to say this, because ultimately, it is a truism we all have to face:
No one has the right not to be offended.
Hi Loren.
No one has the right not to be offended.
I can only agree with the statement because being offended is subjective.
I want to change the direction of this discussion a bit.
1.Being offended by the 'N' word, when used by white Americans, is a deep seeded part of African American culture (it is learned, passed down from parent to child).
2.Being offended by blasphemy, is a deep seeded part of religion, and is also learned.
So why do humans learn to be offended? Is it some kind of defence mechanism?
I'm no psychologist, so I don't have a precise or expert answer for you as to why people choose to be offended about WORDS. Words can be true or false or have any number of gray-area values. They can be associated with personal feelings of shame or inadequacy, and therewith may come the reactions that some people have to words. For someone who sufficiently knows and owns himself, however, any attempt at insult or offense is likely going to fall on its face.
Say someone wants to accuse my mother of being a whore. I KNOW who and what my mother is as well as what she is NOT, and my response to such a person is simple: I blow them off. Maybe they want to call me a cocksucker. Whether I am or not, again, all we're dealing with are WORDS here, and spurious words such as those are not worthy of my attention. People who use these words and others are looking to exert power over another, and/or elicit a reaction. Understanding this allows me to easily frustrate their efforts by simply not giving them what they want. My sense is that it's lack of knowledge and/or fear of the truth of an assertion, or an over-inflation of the importance or supposed truth of someone else's words are what give rise to the reactions we see in some people.
All of this comes back to the whole issue of self-ownership and self-knowledge, two very key qualities to my own philosophy of life (if I can be said to have such a thing!). A person who knows and understands his or her own inner workings and motivations is far less likely to be rattled by expletives or epithets. That person may note a threat couched in such words and prepare to react based on that input, but the words themselves continue to have only the impact the listener chooses to give them.
Now ... on the OTHER hand, what about a believer who has his beliefs disparaged by one such as us? How sure is that person in his beliefs? How learned is he in their background? Are we dealing with a William Lane Craig here or just some church-goer who swallows whole what he is taught, without a more wide-ranging understanding of those teachings?
A key word here is "insecurity." By definition, a theist's beliefs are not easily verified or objectively supported, if they are supported at all (and we know they aren't!). It's possible that this person has grown up in an environment which was insulated from outside opinions and discouraged critical thought. When confronted by arguments which challenge what he's been taught, there may be a number of possible responses. A well-schooled theist may attempt to defend his beliefs, using his holy book or the teachings of a more knowledgeable follower, such as WLC or one of his ilk. OR ... feeling that such teachings should be beyond question or analysis, they may insist that those teachings have government protection from such challenges ... which leaves us where we are.
As one respondent to the Center for Inquiry's Blasphemy Contest suggested:
The reason religious beliefs need protection from ridicule is that they are ridiculous.
Maybe we need a new term, like attacking race is racism, attacking faith could be called faithism.
Unlike race, which cannot be changed and is real, faith can be changed and faith can be delusional and fraudulent (as most religions are).
Thus, I believe people can be condemned for being racist.
Though, people can be commended and given credit for being faithist, where the faith has been shown as detrimental to society and human progress.
So Faithism against Christianity and Islam should be commended, as they are both detrimental to society.
Aye M8z! :-D

It's Earth Day, an annual event that encourages us to remember the environment and our place in it. Good news: By cutting back on your energy and water use, you don't just help conserve resources, you put money back in your pocket — where it belongs.
Save Energy
Mary Morris was wary when she had to pay for an energy audit of her single-family home in the North Park Hill to qualify for an Xcel rebate.
Twelve months later, she's a convert. Since contractor Casey Staley from REenergizeCO completed an energy audit on her home, which was built in 1948, and performed subsequent improvements last spring, Morris has saved $438 on her energy bill. That's in addition to Staley finding $1,100 in rebates for a $3,800 project.
"For $2,700, we got the audit, our duct work in the attic sealed with flexible mastic, and I could sense an improvement in the air quality within 24 hours," she says. With that money Morris also insulated the attic as well as a 1,700-square-foot main floor that included a large sun room, and weatherized a nearly 1,500-square-foot "bomb bunker" basement, where Staley added a threshold to her energy-sucking boiler room. The money also went toward purchasing an energy-efficient dishwasher.
Staley, who's a vetted contractor through Xcel and Denver Energy Challenge, works to make sure his clients receive all rebates possible. He says residents are often unaware of how much money they can save on up-front costs. He added that residents who performed home improvements saw additional savings in their tax returns this year through a federal credit.
"That tax credit is 10 percent," he said. "If the work is $4,000, you're getting $400 back from the (feds)."
Morris, who received around $300 back from the tax credit this year, looks forward to a summer where her air conditioner will keep her home at a comfortable 71 degrees. "My husband says the sign of a civilized life is when you're warm in the winter and cool in the summer," she says. "And I agree."
Energy-efficiency resources
• Find a rebate through Xcel
Xcel offers qualified Colorado residents rebates on home improvements ranging from heating and cooling to insulation and weatherization. xcelenergy.com
• Denver Energy Challenge
If you're a Denver resident having trouble navigating rebates, Denver Energy Challenge offers free advising services. They'll connect you to approved contractors, and review bids. They also help with applications for low-interest energy loans. denverenergy.org
• Boulder EnergySmart
This service provides Boulder residents with free phone advising on home improvements. If you've had a home energy audit, their services are free. If not, for $90 they will do the audit and pair you with an energy adviser. energysmartyes.com
Short-term solutions
• Replace traditional incandescent lights with energy-efficient ones
According to the Department of Energy, replacing 15 traditional incandescent light bulbs with energy-saving bulbs like compact fluorescent lamps, or CFLs, saves $50 a year. CFLs last 10 times longer and can pay for themselves in savings in less than nine months.
• Set your refrigerator and freezer to optimal temperatures
Xcel recommends setting your refrigerator between 34 and 37 degrees and your freezer at 5 degrees for optimal energy performance.
• Monitor your thermostat
The DOE recommends setting your thermostat at 68 degrees in the winter and 78 in the summer. Better yet, install a programmable thermostat and save $180 a year.

Mamadu was the grandson of a local Shaman who had converted to Christianity in the late 1950's. His father was raised as a Christian and had become a church leader, helping with famine relief efforts in parts of the country plagued by drought. Mamadu was brought up in the church also but was very defiant and bullied peers that could not defend themselves. He amused himself by torturing stray dogs that would wander into the village looking for food.
As a young teenager he left his fathers house and went to the city of
The local residents and police learned by experience to never cross the Shaman and his followers. But the mysterious deaths did not go unnoticed by the military government of
So one evening the compound of the Shaman was surrounded by heavily armed soldiers, and in the fighting many cultists were killed, including the leader. They found human remains mixed with vile ingredients in pots throughout the main building. Gnawed bones with human flesh still attached were found on ritualistic plates surrounding a large wooden idol covered with mud and cloth that dominated the center of the camp. Two of the cultists were wounded but still alive and taken prisoner, one of which was Mamadu. They were chained and taken to a government prison in the capitol of
During the trial, Mamadu's own father had to testify against him, telling of his fall from grace and his increasing erratic and violent behavior. He screamed curses at his father as he testified, and this only reinforced the courts decision to find him guilty and put him to death.
In the time between the trial and execution date strange things began to happen in the Christian community of Mamadu's former village.
Jenny, a single female missionary nurse who cared for the sick and elderly of the village awoke one night to see a naked man standing at the doorway to her bedroom. He was covered in blood and held a long knife in his right hand. She knew him. It was Mamadu.
Quickly she sat up in her bed and in a stuttering half scream she prayed aloud.
The figure darkened and faded away with a deep growling sound.
They had wondered if he had escaped and in the excitement of the moment Jenny had hallucinated. But a call to the prison from the mission let them know that he had never left his cell. In fact he was still bound in chains since he had made every attempt to either harm others or himself since the end of the trial.
But the paranormal visitation of Mamadu did not just limit itself to the Missionaries. Herdsman in the field claimed to have encountered a wild man drenched in blood who screamed at them as they came upon him while crouching in a field. This "Zozubona-Fato" (or blood crazy man in English) ran after them in the broad daylight only to fade and disappear in a smoke as it ran across a small stream. A young woman claimed she was sexually assaulted by the same apparition one night as she slept alone in her mud brick hut.
Within 7 days of his conviction Mamadu was drug out into the courtyard of the prison. He was fastened to the wall and shot by firing squad. Witnesses say he laughed as the bullets ripped through his body. But after a few well placed shots, the laughter ceased forever.
But the apparitions did not.
Three days after his death, he once again appeared to Jenny the nurse. It was dusk and she was looking out the window as the sun set in the west. A black shape appeared to come from behind a tree and started coming toward her house. It was the naked form of Mamadu, this time his skin was ashen and the blood that drenched his body came from the bullet holes made by his executioner's guns. Once again she prayed but the figure did not disappear as before. Instead she saw it grimace and made an attempt to reach out from where it stood, as if held back by some invisible force. After a few vain attempts, it turned and walked back into the oncoming darkness.
Later that night, Mamadu's father was walking back from a church meeting with an elder of the church. In the darkness ahead of them they saw the figure of his son walking toward them in the path. They screamed and prayed that God would take the demon away from them. It stood there for a second and attempted to say something, but all they heard was a garbled muttering as if someone was trying to speak with a mouth full of water. This seemed to frustrate it. Enraged, it ran away from them back down the path from whence it came.
The next day the church leaders gathered together in prayer in order to rid themselves of this frightful vision from beyond. As they prayed one old woman told them that God had given her a vision. They were to go into a field beyond the home of the missionary compound where Jenny had seen the specter the night before. There God would show them how to get rid of the evil that plagued them.
So as a group they traveled the few miles to the edge of the compound following the woman who said she was directed by God.
And in the middle of the field by the nurse's home there was a tiny fetish pressed into the rock hard earth. It was a tiny wodden idol covered in mud and cloth. A miniature version of the fetish the police had found in the sorcerer's compound. She told them they had to burn it and pray over it to release the soul of Mamadu, and God can make His final judgment of him on the last day.
They poured petrol over the fetish and praying in unison, set it ablaze. They say they heard an unearthly screaming as it went up in smoke. And many there said they thought the smoke itself attempted to take the form of a human body.
But the wind blew it into nothingness.
I was told the basics of this story from Missionaries that I visited with in
I have no idea. But I see a lot of the fetishes stuck in the ground like the tale described when I visit
I give them a wide berth.
Until next time,
Pastor Swope

Christian O lopez has not received any gifts yet
You might like Living with a religious spouse, In an "Interfaith" Relationship, or Partners of Theists. It's painful to have your spouse angry with you and condemning you to hell. Personally, I couldn't take it. I'd be upset all of the time and have trouble sleeping, just getting along. Not being accepted for who I really am would also make me lonely and depressed. Good luck to you. I hope the two of you can negotiate a mutually satisfying living together arrangement. She's no doubt deeply disturbed too. Maybe others who've been through this could give helpful advice.
Welcome, Christian! Glad you could join us. :D

The man accused of stabbing Victorian woman Sarah Cafferkey to death and dumping her body in a wheelie bin has until March to decide how he will plead to the 22-year-old's murder.
Steven James Hunter, 47, stared at the floor, showed no emotion and did not speak during a brief filing hearing in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
Flanked by two prison guards and wearing an olive short-sleeved shirt, the tall, well-built, blond-haired Hunter was appearing after a night in custody following his arrest on Tuesday.
An out-of-sessions hearing at the St Kilda Road police complex late on Tuesday was told Hunter, from Bacchus Marsh, had made admissions to police over Ms Cafferkey's murder.
Detective Senior Constable Damien O'Mahoney, of the Homicide Squad, told the hearing Ms Cafferkey had been stabbed "multiple times" on November 10 at a flat in Simpson Street, Bacchus Marsh, before her body was taken to the Point Cook house where police found it during a raid in the early hours of Sunday.
"Her body was moved from Bacchus Marsh to Fongeo Drive, Point Cook, and placed in a wheelie bin," Det Snr Const O'Mahoney said.
Hunter appeared barefoot and dressed in a white forensic jumpsuit for Tuesday night's three-minute hearing; his clothing having been seized for forensic testing.
In court on Wednesday, prosecutor Luke Exell said a brief of evidence would be finalised and submitted to the court by February 13.
Magistrate Donna Bakos remanded Hunter in custody until a committal mention on March 27, at which he must enter a plea to the charge of murder.
Hunter's Victoria Legal Aid lawyer, Vince Caltabiano, told the court there were no issues with the terms of his client's custody.
Ms Cafferkey, who lived in Bacchus Marsh, was last seen by her family on November 9.
Homicide police took over the investigation into her disappearance after her car was found in a suburban Maribyrnong street late on Tuesday, with bank records showing she had not accessed her accounts since going missing.
Hunter was arrested at a block of units in Hawthorn on Tuesday afternoon by heavily armed special operations group police and undercover officers.
More than a dozen officers surrounded the units and called on the 47-year-old to give himself up.
Witnesses say he quickly emerged without incident, looking dishevelled in shorts, an ACT Brumbies rugby shirt and no shoes.
Hunter and Ms Cafferkey had exchanged messages on Facebook, with Hunter suggesting the pair catch up five days before she was reported missing.

[Tutorial] mtPaint - change hue and rescale clipboard
Mtpaint works with two types of images ---> indexed and RGB.
Read the beginning of the mtpaint manual for a good
explanation of these image types.
The GIF file format was designed for indexed images
(and grey scale photos as well)
The PNG file format is good for both indexed and RGB.
Here's an example of a quick rescaling of part of an image
In this example the green square is made bigger.
Note that this is an indexed image and it will remain indexed
in this first example.
The green square is cut and then transferred
to a new layer using the menu item
Edit > Paste to New Layer
Now do a rescaling
To see your transparency settings make sure you choose
View > Show Dock
Make the layer transparent (transparency color=0)
i.e. black is transparent
Use one of the numbered clipboards to move it back to
the original layer. Move the selection to where you want it
and delete the top layer to finish off the job.
...and the final result
However to change the hue (color) of the clipboard i.e. a portion of
your image, is more difficult and requires the change
of the image from indexed colors to RGB colors somewhere along
the process.
Here's the simplest method I found
using the 'Save composite layer'
Start with a red circle and a green rectangle like in example 1.
We want the rectangle to be blue and bigger.
Let us assume that the paintbucket is unavailable
so the hue change will have be done to the clipboard.
Method : Start with a red ellipse and and a green rectangle.
Repeat the steps in the previous example but
after scaling do a hue change ( by clicking on sunshine icon)
to turn the green to blue.
Make sure that the layer is transparent (transparency color=0).
Position the rectangle by changing the settings in the dock
as desired.
choose the menu item
Layers > Save composite image...
Unfortunately this turns the indexed image to a RGB image,
but this shouldn't matter to most people.
mtpaint can do a conversion back if desired.
If you start with a RGB image, the steps are simpler, i.e.
more like method 1.
The user gets a choice of scaling methods this time.
I recommend that the scaling be done with
the settings...
Nearest neighbor or
Bilinear/ Area Mapping
to avoid odd transparency effects
The above examples used rectangular selections.
Lassoed selections can have their hue changed
as well when you have a RGB image.
The color black remains solid inside the lassoed part.
(Apparently the alpha bit has been set.)
In this example I changed the color red to blue using
the upper layer as a temporary workspace,
then pasted back(using a numbered clipboard or the regular clipboard)
to the original image in the background layer.
The original image is red. I lasso it and copy to clipboard and then to
a layer. Then back to original.
Here's a more practical example of a RGB image with many colors.
Lasso the red circle and transfer it to a new layer,
Make a hue change ( to make it bluish)
Then transfer back to original image. The black inside the
blue circle has the alpha bit set obviously.
Note if you then save the image to disk with the transparency color
= 0 i.e. black is transparent, all the black including inside the blue circle will
be transparent. Here's the result...

Post subject: RGB clipboard
While making this tutorial I discovered that the clipboard wouldn't work sometimes.
Reading the mtpaint manual has provided the answer
It is possible to paste an RGB clipboard onto an RGB image and an
Indexed Palette clipboard onto an Indexed Palette or RGB image.
As the clipboard files are standard PNG files, the user can also open
them in another mtPaint process and edit them.
I think I was trying to paste a RGB clipboard into an indexed image.
This is not allowed.

I discovered that it is possible to easily remove the black paint
inside lassoed objects. The following example shows how.
On the left side of picture you see a typical paste of a lassoed object.
There is clearly black paint inside. To remove this black paint is easy.
See the right hand side of picture...
Method: First paste the lassoed object in the document.
Then choose color A = black and color B = black
Then choose from menu
Selection > Mask Colour A,B
