Xavi Names Two Players Who'll Dominate Football After CR7 & Messi

Beitragvon makaralove » Mi 10. Jan 2018, 07:21

Former FC Barcelona captain Xavi Hernandez has named his two favourites to dominate football when the Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi era comes to an end.The 37-year-old, who finished in third spot in the Ballon d'Or ranking in 2009, 2010 and 2011, believes that Neymar will eventually end the Ronaldo-Messi reign."I think there will be a while after Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo when Neymar will be the reference point," Xavi told El Pais.

"Especially as he is Brazilian; Brazil have every chance of making it to a World Cupsbofinal."Xavi also added that he believes Neymar won't stay at the top of the game for too long before his Paris Saint-Germain teammate Kylian Mbappe replaces him as the world's best.

"The Neymar era will last three or four years, and then Mbappe's time will come," he added."He has mad potential. And he is still young; he's only 19. He is a monster."The Ronaldo-Messi era began in 2008sbowhen the Portuguese lifted his first Ballon d'Or, before his longstanding rival won four consecutive Golden Balls.

However, Ronaldo launched an incredible comeback and has now won the award for the world's best player in four of the past five years, with both superstars having claimed five Ballons d'Or each and dominated world football for the past 10 years.Neymar, meanwhile, finished in third spot in the past two years, while Mbappe became the youngest player ever to finish in the top 10 after ending up in seventh position in the 2017 ranking.sbo

I'm very interested in this problem. The thing is that if people press login directly without entering Username and Password they will end up at the wp-login.php site which is the ordinary site where people log in, the login sidebar is just a widget. But when that is done I have noticed that sometimes the site is "blocked". If the user then press "ctrl+F5" (works on firefox and IE) to refresh the site they will see the login site and be able to login. This works just as well as if they would use the direct login http and enter it to the address bar directly. So I belive that it is the login sidebar widget that is causing the "block" situation because it sends some extra information to the wp-login.php site that the site don't agree on.

So if anyone has the time I would like them to try something out, if my theory checks out I will have to remove the sidebar login widget and replace it with a link to the login site.
1. First go to http://dwelvers.com/ and press "login" in the sidebar without entering any username or password, if it says "blocked" or white screen with a error message comes up then proceed to step two.
2. Leave the site and go to another address (anyone will do) and then enter this address to your address bar: "http://dwelvers.com/wp-login.php", now you should see the login screen.

If you first had the blocked screen when entering the login screen from the sidebar, and then had it functional when entering the login site from the address bar I am almost certain that I can blame the login sidebar widget.

Please comment on how it went Smile
I'd love to test this but unless my old login from the previous version of the website's still active I'll need a new account. I did get an email saying something about how I should have received an email with new login info but I never got any such email. If that's so then I have no login for the new site.

I think you do. Press the lost password or go here: http://dwelvers.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
Enter your email and press "Get New Password", if no error messages come up then your email should be registered and you should have gotten some info on how to reset the password by mail.

Then you can login with the Username mentioned in that mail.
I re-registered all the members the day before yesterday. Maybe the individual mails didn't went out as they should to all of you. But I can see that you are a member and registered as you should be, it is just the password that couldn't be transferred with the site change.
OK, I'll give that a try and let you know how it goes...

EDIT: It worked, I now have access to log in again. I also tested the login widget and got no problems at all. I logged in both by leaving the login fields blank and going to the login page and logged in by filling the widget login form and both worked.

I use Firefox 26.0. I'll try again with IE next.

OK, I tried with IE 10.0.9x and got a 403 forbidden error, so this looks like an IE related problem.

I'm installing Chrome and Safari to test with them next...
[Image: 11619898803_7d3a89e6bd_n.jpg]

Okey, do you get the same error when you enter "http://dwelvers.com/wp-login.php" directly into the web address bar of IE?
I'll test that next.

I tried on Google Chrome V31.0.1x and when clicking on the login button for the 1st time I got the "blocked" page you mentioned earlier. Entering the login info on the widget worked, and after that the login button, when the widget was left blank would send me to the login page. I'll do the above test in IE and also test in Safari next.
[Image: 11619898803_7d3a89e6bd_n.jpg]
The Golden One!
Here's my last tests:

IE: entering the login url directly into the address bar worked, it got me to the login page where I was able to log in properly.

Safari V5.1.7: also gave me the "blocked" page just like in Chrome. Again, entering the log in url directly fixed this and got me to the login page.

In all cases, once I was able to log in once successfully, the widget would start working properly thereafter. At least for this session.

The results so far are that the login worked seamlessly without any errors only on firefox, all other browsers produced some form of error initially.
[Image: 11619898803_7d3a89e6bd_n.jpg]
The Golden One!
This is what I wanted to hear!

My conclusion is that when the widget is doing the login for the user the error comes up. I use firefox, and there everything works as it should, with IE sometimes and with Crome almost never. But it works for all internet browsers when I go directly to "http://dwelvers.com/wp-login.php" via the browsers login bar. So the problem must be with the login widget.

Another reason why I think it is the widget is because the link "Sign up for the news crow" also goes to "http://dwelvers.com/wp-login.php?action=register", and I have never gotten an error there. So I think the widget is doing some nasty things behind the scenes that certain explorers don't like.

My direct solution to this is to have a link in the sidebar just saying "Login", which will direct the user to http://dwelvers.com/wp-login.php
It makes no big difference anyway, the login widget is a little bit more visible, but the link text shouldn't be so hard to find either.

Thanks a lot for your help SU. Two points too you Wink
no problem.

You could also check for a better login widget, if that one's no good. Or at least use a huge font size for the login link.
[Image: 11619898803_7d3a89e6bd_n.jpg]
The Golden One!
I added a new widget - the login bar at the top of the website. If you're logged in the bar will turn to default bar that was from the start on website. Can someone please, ckeck this login bar in different browsers?
Spec: Win 10, ATI 7800 HD, res: 1280x1024x75. I support The Venus Project & Resource-Based Economy
Hmm, the new widget causes the same issues that the old one did. The problem is that the website don't accept login information to be sent to http://dwelvers.com/wp-login.php the users needs to go there via a link and login via the site directly.

I do find it a lot more handy to have the login directly on the site, but for now we need the users to login on the wp-login site.

SQ1 VGA: Stop the Hate

Definitive SQ1 poll

15 members have voted

  1. 1. Do you prefer the fantastic VGA version of SQ1, or the other one?

    • VGA
    • EGA

Recommended Posts

You know, I do have memories though, crystal clear, of observing my father playing space quest 2. Specifically, I remember him walking into the screen on Labion where the giant carnivorous mushrooms resided, and getting eaten by one of them. I was amused by that. I also observed him choking from the spore dust. I remember calling him "funny guy" because of those observations. I would go up to my father and plead "funny guy!, play funny guy!" because I wanted to watch him play it. I must've been two, three years old at the most during the time.

Years later when I dug up the sq3 diskettes (as I mentioned, he'd misplaced/lost the ones for games one and two), at age 8, and had played through to the planet pestulon (where the aluminum mallard first lands, and there are swirling cyan plants all around) I was very confused as to why suddenly there was only one screen on that green planet, and walking any direction led to the sequence where Roger observes the pirates coming out of the bunker. I'd mistaken Pestulon for Labion as I'd remembered it 6 years prior, when I was two years old, and was expecting to see those giant mushrooms again.

I've always liked the art direction SQ1 VGA, as I dig the whole b-sci-fi feel quite a bit. But I do agree that as an SQ game it stands out like a sore thumb, as the other SQ games have so different art style

EGA version all the way... I actually played it in CGA back in the late 80s.  The game booted in monochrome and then you used one of the drop down menus to give it colour...(a generous splashing of magenta and bright yellow).

Recently for the first time ever I've started trying out ports of Sierra games.  I've just completed Space Quest 1 in monochrome for the Apple Mac 128k through an emulator.... Now there's a combo between the EGA & VGA versions as this one came with mouse control!  It actually looks and plays very nicely.  As a side note, to bypass copy protection on this one you hold down the cmd key and type "4givmeken" :lol:.  That made me smile.

The original (not the remake) of this Apple version has copy protection?

There are two versions bundled with my download.  The copy protection refers to the 16 colour version which was also included which I presume is for another mac model with colour graphics.  I believe after initial booting of the game you are prompted to re-insert the apple's system disk again.  It loads from this disk then prompts you to "Insert Your ORIGINAL Space Quest Disk 1" At this point you hold down the little apple key and type "4givmeKen" then enter INSTEAD of re-inserting the space quest disk.  Seeing as these computers didn't have hard drives, maybe the was to make sure you didn't boot the game up with one disk for a room of people... I'm not sure.  But the actual cheat itself is funny... I wonder if it was by Scott, or perhaps whoever did the Mac port?

(Side-Note: I own the complete SQ collection from GOG, and own physical retail copies of the 1,2 and 4 for PC.  I only downloaded this version as a curiosity) .

It's Foto Sauter in Munich, they are indeed very nice people to work with and were always on my side with this issue. I'm going to try to make the exchange happen today and will report back with a short comment when the PRO-1000 is printing ;) My feedback in this thread is kind of finished once I returned the P800, so I don't wanna stretch it too much ;)

The pizza wheel marks are real and do exist. I'm a fine art printing professional of 20+ years. In my shop ( high end premedia - prepress - digital content production) currently I have 2 epson P90000's 2 epson 9900's and a P800. I've been through dozens of epsons over the years.

The P800 will leave sprocket feed marks on most robust glossy or semi glossy smooth stocks. I'll attach a picture where you can see. They are spaced around an inch apart along the entire paper feed path. It doesn't matter if you use the sheet feeder, front feed, or thick feed paths. Platen width, ink drying slowed down per pass, etc etc... The marks are there. Also, I picked this P800 up late in the game, so IMO it's not an initial design flaw that was corrected early in production. I think a bean counter said we're sticking with what we got, 90% of users won't see it. My gut says select epson ambassadors, reviewers, and industry notables probably got a machine that was "tweaked" or within a tight tolerance spec so it wouldn't show this overlooked design error. As others have mentioned, it shows it's ugly head most notably in solid heavy ink areas. Areas of mixed detail such as branches, rocks, and other areas that have a wide variation of ink density and texture mask the small sprocket perforations that are occurring on the papers texture. I've worked with Epson tech support with no positive outcome. My review of the printer is #1 on the BH site. I've spent hundreds on ink and high end fine art papers trying to mitigate this problem. Epson, if your reading, please let me return this printer for a P5000 plus change. I love your printers, my 9900's have served me well. Unfortunately, the P800 is fatally flawed.

Stocks I prefer to use, and all have the same issue with the pizza wheel sprocket marks.

I am having the same problem that Matt Anderson describes, but with a P600 which I bought in January of '16.  Just before it was out of warranty, the photo black print head died and they sent me a replacement printer.  The replacement had a feed problem -- just wouldn't take anything via the front freed tray.  So they sent me a second replacement and this one shows these pinwheel marks.  With the other two P600s I never noticed if there were pinwheel marks.  I've been using Canson Platine Fibre Rag mostly but have also tried Canson Photogloss Premium RC.  The dots seem less noticeable on the Photogloss and changing settings to 5 for drying time and 6 for paper thickness may have eased the problem a bit, but it's hard to tell given the weird angles one has to use to see this problem.  Epson is now sending me some Epson paper to test.

Epson's support people have been very helpful but this is getting beyond annoying.

I have been dealing with a roller mark issue and the Epson 3880 for some time. It involves an exotic material that is not relevant to this discussion and I was searching the internet for the "roller mark" topic to see if I could dig up any additional indicators, when I found this thread.
It was in reading this thread that I learned there was a more or less universal roller mark problem with less exotic materials and occurring across printer brands, as referenced by several persons, here. Until now, I thought a roller mark issue with HP brand printers that I solved several years ago was unique to that brand and that what I was experiencing with the 3880 and the aforementioned exotic material, was a one-off thing of no interest to anyone but me.
I have the answer, at least for one printer brand and it is most likely an indicator for the other two. First, a little history.
I had an HP B9180 (and its eight replacements under warranty in less than three years) that was producing roller marks on prints made on a variety of matte, inkjet coated papers, primarily in the heaviest blacks. It was not occasional and quite ruinous. (And BTW, some here mentioned they thought the problem was not common. Yes, it is. The problem is that most people don't examine prints very closely and miss the roller marks. I have said "yes it does" while at the same moment pointing roller marks out to people on their very own HP prints, before they actually saw them.)
With HP printers these marks tend to show in the darkest areas where ink deposit is heaviest. HP knows about the problem, but they won't admit it exists. They count instead on the the lack of observation on the part of most of their users. They of course said the problem must be with the brands of paper that were not their own. (Sound familiar?)
With HP printers, the roller marks are the result of heavy ink deposits having insufficient time to dry before being run over by rollers in the machine. After I realized this, the solution was simple and is 100% effective:
During the entire printing process, stand in front of the stupid printer with a handheld hair dryer and blow warm air into the printing path, moving the hair dryer back and forth, across the printer. No roller marks, ever again. Of course, the printer I had did not offer a more reasonable solution: increase the drying time between passes. If your printer has that option, try it first.
Now the Canon printers. I have never owned a Canon printer and have no clue. Try the two options above first, before moving on to the Epson options.
Roller marks with Epson printers ARE NOT the result of rollers marching through still-wet ink as they are with HP. At least not with the material that has been driving me nuts and therefore, probably not with your materials, either. AND, Epson printers are designed differently. There aren't any rollers to pass through after ink has been deposited. At least not in the 3800/3880/P600 series.
I ran tests with only two thin lines of black ink down the edges of the print area, parallel to the paper path and at the outside edges of the image area. Roller marks occurred on the material, in between the lines, where no image at all was printed. So, if you are going to get roller marks on the material you are using, it will happen even if you print no image at all. However, ink deposit does of course make the marks far more noticeable.
With the Epson printers, try the hair dryer trick and try increasing the drying time between passes, if your printer has that option. Someone mentioned somewhere in this thread that increasing drying time did have a positive effect.
Recent communication with another researcher using the same exotic material I mentioned originally suggests strongly that this problem, at least with Epson brand printers, is related to relative humidity. I live in dry Arizona, he lives in the NorthWest where he practically needs SCUBA gear 24/7. His roller marks are infinitely worse than mine.
Put a dehumidifier in your work area if you can, AND take a hair drier to your paper BEFORE you print on it. And brush it off first, too. Paper debris doesn't help this problem.
As I understand it now, all three printer manufacturers have this problem and all three refuse to acknowledge it, so the only thing that will get them off the dime is a lot of complaining. Most people using these printers do not see the roller marks on their prints. Point them out to them.

ION Discover DJ help

Postby 337Panda on 18 Mar 2017, 04:04

New user here. In a nutshell I bought a ION Discover DJ *used* at the local "consignment" store, It lights up but I have no software CD or Serial for a CD. Not going to Lie!! It didn't come with any software or manual etc. I have no problem buying the MixVibes Cross DJ to play around with. I am guessing if I buy the Cross DJ I will be able to use all of the functions without having to map all the buttons and sliders.

I tried the Cross DJ Free 3.2.4 and it only shows 4 keyboards. The ION Discover DJ lights up but doesn't really do anything. So I am just looking for a hint "You need to buy the software to be able to access all the cool stuff . I understand its a risk buying the device used. I am just trying to verify that if I buy the software and My ION Discover DJ functions correctly... I will be able to play with all the knobs and sliders. Thanks for your time in advance!

:cool: try the demo ,, give time limitations ,,but MIDI control ,,that might help you feel justified in getting the software,,but as you get along you will want a better controller ,,
the free version was intentionally set up to give a overall feel of the software but orientate toward the apps ,,
ion discover DJ was sold as a bundle with a le version ,,so heres the hint ,,if you like the feel of the software ,,and plan on expanding/getting higher standard of equipment then get Cross DJ ,, if you plan on jumping in all the way then get Cross ,, full featured ,, see the comparison chart ,,
no matter what the choice welcome to mixvibes ,and making the music :cool:
to the lastpoint of useing all the buttons and sliders ,yes ,, just curious as to your audio set up ,, :idea:
and yes it mapped to the software :idea:

Sweet! Thanks I appreciate the help!!
My audio setup is a Memorex Soundbar attached to an aging Quadcore Extreme edition Intel Badaxe2. Um and you aren't going to believe this but I think I found the CD serial torn off the envelope. It fell out from under one of the turntables... I am not sure if this is the correct one?

Never mind it was a key for Ulead SE V6 DVD. I will buy and play around thanks!!!

A very unusual event.....

A very unusual event.....

Monday evening a very large missle was launched just 35 miles off the coast from Los Angeles. So far, Norad and the Department of Defense say they had no idea this missile was even launched. It did not register on the defense shield. DOD says it wasn't one of their missles.

Very freekin wierd and scary.  Any foreign government or terrorist group initiating a surprise launch of a missle of this size and so close to our coast....that's not good Hombre. It would demonstrate a stealth technology of missles and maybe of Naval vessels capable of evading our most sophisticated defenses. It would also infer an " in your face - screw you " warning to our country.

Hopefully,it's a hoax or the Pentagon actually did launch it. However, that just doesn't add up as normal protocol was not followed. Launching missles is very serious business preceeded by restricted air space, warnings, diplomatic notifications and a whole host of other safety precautions that were just not present in this launch. In one video shot, you can see an Airliner in proximity to the missle, ie no restricted air space. Very odd.

Watch for the spinmeisters to be out on this one. That is not a jet contrail and it is not a horizonal contrail from a jet as some are suggesting, This contrail is vertical and there's an Airliner flying at a right angle to the missle's contrail.

Do the Chinese have a blue water navy?

Hopefully it's a hoax/mistake. I just found it very odd and worth comment.

Looks like the pentagon is calling it a contrail.  Personally I like the more frightening theories better.

Re: A very unusual event.....

Lot of holes in their explanation..... " It was probably an airplane ".

   If it was an airplane, there would of been....
   a) a filed flight plan
   b) a radar signature
   c) FAA awareness of the flight and radio communications
   d) a pilot who could verify his flight
   e) an Aviation company who could verify the flight
   f) a flight destination
   g) an airport- (The " flight " originated 35 miles out in the sea and well north of Catalina Island i.e. open waters)

None of these are present. Note the Pentagon Spokeman's inconclusive wording....." probably a airplane ". Besides other National Defenses, Vanderberg Airforce base and the San Diego Naval base are in that area. The aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (and it's battle group) are currently operating in those waters.

If it was an airplane, there's no way in hell they wouldn't of known that. Those guys know when a fly farts in flight. They would have known instantly what it was. They didn't. They don't. They didn't even have it on radar, nor did the FAA,obstensibly.

Aircraft have Transponders, transmitters that send out a signal identifying exactly what aircraft they are, civilian or military, altitude and other info. This helps ground radar. It's also used to aid in other aircraft's collision avoidance systems. Radar pings activate transponders. Over high use airspace(L.A.) this would be constant.

If it was an airplane, all the above would have been present and they would have had a definitive answer...."It was flight #xyz out blah blah airport bound for BFE ". It would not have taken two days to get any answer let alone their inconclusive one.

Then there's the plume itself. Rocket like and vertical. They said it's an optical illusion cause it's heading towards the camera and that it's actually a horizional contrail.

In that case, it would have flown over land, over the camera (it didn't), and over others enroute to a verifiable mainland destination being tracked all the way by the FAA and Homeland Security/Pentagon. That did not happen, hence their inconclusive answer.

Unlike the other contrail illusions they showed, this contrail has points of references, landmarks. The horizion (w/land) is clearly visible. The contrail originates at, touches this horizion, so to speak. That wouldn't be visible in their example, the distance would be far to great for the camera lense and the contrail would have long dissipated at it's juncture with the horizion.

Any horizional jet contrail at elevation would not juncture at a right angle with the land, especially the close-by land in this camera's view, beyond which is the Pacific Ocean.

Jets don't leave contrails at take off or lower elevations. That happens at cold, high elevations.

Rockets leave contrails(exhaust flumes) at launch. Big, thick, fluffy ones like this one was.

Plus there's an airliner flying perpendicular to the exhaust flume as it's being created - it's a fresh exhaust flume. Vertical attitude.

This thing is just odd. It doesn't even come close to adding up. Their supposedly initial ignorance and then delayed inconclusive answer is curious. There maybe an answer, but haven't heard it yet.

I'm like Dr. House. When there's an anomoly, something that doesn't pass the smell test, I can't help but dissecting it till it makes sense or I at least cut though the PR crap. Curiousity, that's all.

Given the backdrop of other current world events, I thought this worth posting.

Default A few interface tweaks?

Well if Weird Worlds is suddenly updating after this long haitus, maybe there's a chance of another patch for LOL. These are my 3 suggestions:

1. Please make the "win if you control 2/3 of cities" victory condition optional in skirmish games. Yeah, it's a given once you hit 2/3 you're going to win, but it's really disappointing when you've got your army poised to wipe out the remaining defense force and take the capital to suddenly have the game end because your one runner who was sitting on a city finally captures it.

2. Please make it possible for all the cash to accumulate in one "jingle" instead of displaying the money accumulating city by city. I have at least one friend who was dissuaded from buying LOL because of having to wait through all that every round.

3. The afflicted don't really have a way of killing super units like archangels before they can capture a city. I suggest adding an additional effect called "lingering horror" or something to the hag's attack that causes a -1 to influence for a single round. Coupled with leprosy, it'll be enough to reduce an archangel's influence from 12 to 9 and increase the capture time to 3 rounds.

Adding the -1 influence to plaguebearers would work, too.

Great game!

Adding that many damaging effects to Afflicted would really make them super strong. As they are, they're pretty good already (even though I don't like to play them, 'cause I don't use the Plaguebearer too well).

If the Humans are bothering you with Archangels, just buy a Hag and a Missionary for every Archangel they make - the Archangel is slow as hell, and once hit by a Missionary, it's just a big slow bag of lost gold. Buy a cheap unit on cities it might land in, if that's the problem.

Check this organization out.  If you spend time along the Oregon Coast, you can see the impacts of man on what was once and functioning ecosystem.   The dikes and dams have limited the rearing habitat of juvenile salmonids.  Small steps can lead to great changes in estuary fish habitat.

I believe we will see the day when the lowlands become wetlands once again, and the industrialization of that critical habitat is reversed.

The cron service is installed but cannot start due to the following. The installer for the cron service names it "coral_cron". The section header in ".....\UniServer\uni_con\cron_service\srvstart.ini" is referring "[US_CronS1]" instead. (That bug seems to persist since at least 12/22/2011...)

Unfortunately SrvStart cannot create a meaningful error report. Please correct this asap. Thank you!

KPU/HPU: A Major Piece of the Puzzle

Discussion in 'Fibromyalgia Main Forum' started by RadioFM, Oct 3, 2014.

    "KPU/HPU: A Major Piece of the Puzzle in Overcoming Chronic Lyme Disease"

    "Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt MD, PhD is a practicing physician in Kirkland, Washington with a focus on the treatment of chronic neurological conditions such as Lyme disease, autism, and CFIDS. In the many years that he has treated patients with chronic infections, he has observed that, for many, recovery is elusive. Patients may often plateau or find that their recovery is stalled. In other cases, patients may not succeed in their attempts to rid the body of a particular toxic or infectious burden; such as in patients with long-standing or therapy-resistant late stage Lyme disease."

    "In looking for possible explanations as to why some patients struggle more than others to regain their health, Dr. Klinghardt has found a high correlation between patients with chronic Lyme disease and those with Kryptopyrroluria (KPU), or more precisely Hemopyrrollactamuria (HPU). The condition is alternatively known as the "Mauve Factor" or "Malvaria". HPU may be an inherited condition but it can also be induced by childhood psychological trauma or chronic infections. "

    "The HPU complex is a biochemical marker and neurotoxic substance frequently identified in the urine of patients with autism, learning disabilities, alcoholism, substance abuse, schizophrenia, ADHD, Down syndrome, depression, bipolar disorders, and even criminal behavior. Some estimate the incidence of KPU to be 40-70% in schizophrenia; 50% in autism; 30% in ADHD; and 40-80% in alcoholism and substance abuse."

    "Dr. Klinghardt has found the incidence of HPU in Lyme disease to be 80% or higher; in patients with heavy metal toxicity (lead, mercury, cadmium, and others) over 75%; and in children with autism over 80%. These are very significant percentages of the patient population with chronic illness that may benefit from a treatment program which addresses HPU. Normal, healthy controls do not test positive for HPU. "

    "Elevated levels of HPL found in urine are the result of an abnormality in heme synthesis. Hemoglobin is the substance the holds iron in the red blood cells. HPL is a byproduct of hemoglobin - or heme - synthesis and can be identified in the urine. HPLs bind to zinc, biotin, manganese, vitamin B6, arachidonic acid and other important compounds and lead to a significant depletion of these substances in the body. "

    "Turning to the importance of zinc, biotin, manganese, vitamin B6, and arachidonic acid in the body, it becomes clear how widespread the problem may be that is created by this condition. "

    "Zinc deficiency may result in emotional disorders, delayed puberty, rough skin, delayed wound healing, growth retardation, hypogonadism, hypochlorhydria, mental lethargy, short stature, diarrhea, stretch marks or striae (which may be misinterpreted as Bartonella in some patients), white spots on the fingernails, reduction in collagen, macular degeneration, dandruff, skin lesions such as acne, hyperactivity, loss of appetite, reduced fertility, transverse lines on the fingernails, defective mineralization of bone leading to osteoporosis and many others. "

    "Zinc is a powerful anti-oxidant and lower levels of zinc, as found in those with HPU, lead to an increase in oxidative stress. Lower levels of zinc are correlated with low levels of glutathione, an important part of the detoxification system. Zinc is required to support proper immune function. "White blood cells without zinc are like an army without bullets," says Dr. Klinghardt."

    "Biotin deficiency may be evidenced by rashes, dry skin, seborrheic dermatitis, brittle nails, fine or brittle hair, and hair loss. More importantly, however, it may be associated with depression, lethargy, hearing loss, fungal infections, muscle pain, and abnormal skin sensations such as tingling. Biotin is an important factor in the production of energy in the mitochondria. Biotin is essential for a healthy brain and nervous system. Biotin deficiency is associated with many aspects of the aging process.?"

    "Manganese deficiency may be associated with joint pain, inflammation, and arthritis. It may result in a change in hair pigment or a slowing of hair growth. It is essential for normal growth, glucose utilization, lipid metabolism, and production of thyroid hormone. It may be associated with diseases such as diabetes, Parkinson's disease, osteoporosis, and epilepsy."

    "Vitamin B6 deficiency is thought to be a rare occurrence. However, in those with HPU, this is not the case. B6 deficiency may lead to nervousness, insomnia, irritability, muscle weakness, poor absorption of nutrients, decrease of key enzymes and cofactors involved in amino acid metabolism, impairment in the synthesis of neurotransmitters, impairment in the synthesis of hemoglobin, seborrhoeic dermatological eruptions, confusion, and neuropathy. Similar to zinc, B6 is also an anti-oxidant and correlates to levels of glutathione."

    "Arachidonic acid (from omega-6) deficiency may lead to the impairment of white blood cell function, primarily the leukocytes which may lead to one being more vulnerable to infection. It may lead to neuropathy, neural and vascular complications in preterm babies, skin eruptions, behavior changes, sterility in males, arthritic conditions, dry eyes, growth retardation, dry skin and hair, slow wound healing, hair loss, kidney dysfunction, heart beat abnormalities, and miscarriages."

    "When one considers the magnitude of potential health problems that may be present when a single condition causes a deficiency in zinc, biotin, manganese, vitamin B6, and arachidonic acid simultaneously, the negative implications on health are almost endless." See more here:

    HPU and Lyme Disease

    "Three possible origins of HPU are discussed in the literature: genetics, early childhood trauma, and chronic infections. The connection between HPU and many of the illnesses previously discussed has been known for quite some time. However, never before has a connection been observed or published between HPU and Lyme disease. This discovery has been a key for Dr. Klinghardt to return his patients to a better state of health and wellness. The changes he has observed have been profound."

    "Dr. Klinghardt has found that 4 of 5 patients with chronic Lyme disease test highly positive for this condition. That suggests that 80% of patients with symptoms of chronic Lyme disease might benefit from a treatment protocol that addresses HPU. "

    "Dr. Klinghardt believes that it is not possible to have chronic symptomatic Lyme disease as an adult without a preceding mold illness or the patient having developed HPU. He postulates that the biotoxins from microbes block one or more of the eight enzymes of heme synthesis. This leads to a significant loss of key minerals in white blood cells which effectively disarms cellular immunity."

    "Dr. Klinghardt has observed numerous patients that have struggled to rid the body of parasitic infestations. In these patients, regardless of the interventions used, the patient continues to expel these parasites on an ongoing basis. Therapy-resistant infections are a hallmark sign of HPU. Dr. Klinghardt has found that once the HPU protocol is put in place, there is often swift resolution of long-standing infections and infestations. This includes patients who have failed years of antibiotic therapy for chronic or late stage Lyme disease."

    "Chronic Lyme disease patients often suffer from severe jawbone infections that may require cavitation surgery, which often tends to fail in these patients. When the clients are pre-treated for HPU, the outcome of the surgical procedure is generally much better. In some cases, ozone treatment of the jaw is sufficient to turn things around."

    "Dr. Klinghardt has followed the interest in HLA genetic typing in regards to biotoxin illnesses such as Lyme disease and mold. Until now, patients with certain haplotypes were considered more difficult to treat as the body could not properly and effectively respond to and remove biotoxins from Lyme disease, molds, or in the worst cases, both. In his experience, once the HPU issue is addressed, these HLA types become far less of a concern in most patients. "

    "Once all of the bodily systems are back online and functioning properly, a few months after introducing the HPU protocol, patients are essentially made invulnerable to Lyme disease, to molds, and even to heavy metals. Their bodies are now much better equipped to deal with these conditions when they have appropriate levels of zinc, biotin, manganese, vitamin B6, and arachidonic acid to support optimal functioning of numerous bodily processes."

    HPU and Heavy Metal Toxicity

    "As mentioned earlier in this article, both zinc and vitamin B6 deficiencies - important cofactors in the methylation cycle - reduce levels of glutathione in the body. Glutathione is important for the detoxification of heavy metals. When HPU is an issue and zinc and vitamin B6 are depleted, the detoxification pathways are overwhelmed and ineffective. Replacing missing zinc and vitamin B6 increases glutathione. This in turn increases the rate of detoxification of heavy metals and other body burdening toxins."

    Radio: We need to get the right testing done, before we can rule out Pyroluria as a possible contributing factor.

    Evaluation and Testing

    "HPL levels can be measured from urine through the laboratory Vitamin Diagnostics. The test costs approximately $55 dollars. A lab kit is ordered and the urine sample is returned to the lab by the patient. It is important that the patient follow the instructions as Dr. Klinghardt outlines and not the directions that come with the test kit from the lab. "

    "Until recently, Vitamin Diagnostics offered a test for the related compound called kryptopyrrol only. Recently, they began to offer a test for the hydroxy-hemopyrrolin-2-one (HPL) compound. When filling out the requisition, the practitioner can now select HPL in addition to kryptopyrrol. The HPL test results in a much higher yield. "

    "Dr. Klinghardt finds that in order to get the best possible insight into the patient's condition, it is best to avoid all supplements, especially those containing zinc, biotin, and vitamin B6, for 5-7 days before the urine sample is collected. He suggests that patients use a 24-hour urine collection as opposed to first morning urine as the release of HPL complex into urine is not consistent and might be missed in a single urine collection. The sample should be shielded from light. 500mg ascorbic acid should be added to each liter of urine as a preservative. To further maximize the benefit of testing for the condition, it is best for the patient to be under stress at the time the test is being performed as HPL excretion is known to increase during times of stress."

    "Dr. Klinghardt has found that Vitamin Diagnostics has the best test for HPU available in the United States. In some circumstances, however, patients may still test negative even when the condition is suspected. In those cases, an empiric trial of the HPU protocol may still be warranted."

    Other laboratory results that may be suggestive of HPU include:

    • "WBC < 5000/mcL (due to low levels of zinc)"

    • "High LDL / Low HDL"

    • "Low omega-6 fatty acids in red cell membrane test"

    • "Low taurine in amino acid profile"

    • "High MCV"

    • "WBC and RBC zinc and manganese levels may be normal while biopsies from bone and CNS are completely deficient"

    • "Bone biopsies are a reliable predictor of HPU. Severe deficiencies of zinc, manganese, lithium, calcium, magnesium, and molybdenum are often found"

    "Hemopyrrollactamuria is a severe, but reversible deficiency of zinc, biotin, manganese, vitamin B6 (or P5P), and arachidonic acid. "

    The treatment that Dr. Klinghardt uses for HPU is as follows (dosages for adults):

    Before Breakfast:

    "Zinc 27-40mg elemental zinc per day (as Picolinate, Gluconate or Sulfate; liquid is more effective). Initially, up to 240mg of elemental zinc may be used under the care of a doctor in those with metal toxicity and chronic infections. Nausea after zinc supplementation may be a sign of hypochlorhydria or low stomach acid. This tends to resolve after 2-4 months on the protocol. "

    "Manganese 5mg per day (initially up to 20mg per day in those patients with joint and ligament weakness)"

    With Breakfast:

    "Arachidonic acid from Omega-6 oils (Ghee, Evening Primrose Oil, Black Currant, Borage, Pumpkin; 4-6 capsules of Evening Primrose Oil per day is commonly used)"

    "Fish oil 1 teaspoon per day"

    Before Bedtime:

    "Vitamin B6/P5P 25mg B6 per day and 50mg P5P per day (Most patients do better with a combination of both B6 and P5P. Some require P5P. Approximately 10% do not tolerate P5P at all. Initially, up to 750mg per day may be used, especially in those with seizure disorders.)"

    "Magnesium (Glycinate or Malate) 600-2000 mg per day - or titrate to bowel tolerance"

    "BioPure MicroMinerals 1 tablespoon per day"

    "Biotin 10mg per day for brain, skin, hair, and nails"

    "This is the core treatment for HPU. "

    • "Niacinamide 1000mg three times per day for psychiatric symptoms"

    • "Taurine 500mg three times per day for brain-related symptoms such as seizures, brain fog, and memory loss. Supports elimination of neurotoxins, improves bile quality, increases glutathione, and normalizes brain rhythms"

    • "Lithium Orotate or Aspartate 60mg-240mg per day "

    • "Chromium: 500 mcg per day (initially up to 2 mg, especially in certain brain disorders and hypo/hyperglycemia and insulin resistance)"

    • "Molybdenum 300 mcg (initially much higher, especially with sulfur reactivity)"

    • "High Gamma Vitamin E 400 IU per 40lbs of body weight per day (Unique E is the brand often used)"

    • "HPU clients are also often deficient in silica, iodine, and boron."

    "In Europe, "Depyrrol" is a product which contains Zinc, Manganese, and a mix of vitamin B6 and P5P. It is used as a method of treating HPU.

    "The more complete US product "Core" is available from BioPure Healing Products. Omega-6 oils must be supplemented in addition to Depyrrol or Core, but these products provide the patient the convenience of getting the key components of the protocol in one product. One potential consideration is that some patients may not tolerate both vitamin B6 and P5P; both of which are contained in Depyrrol and Core. As a result, it is occasionally necessary for patients to take each component of the HPU program separately."

    "It is critically important to monitor mineral levels during this treatment. Copper levels should be assessed using a red cell mineral test. Copper replacement is often necessary at a dose of 2-4mg per day due to the high zinc dosage. This is evaluated and introduced when necessary after the treatment has begun, often between months four and six. Zinc, manganese, and vitamin B6 are copper antagonists. Thus, monitoring levels of copper and supplementing where needed is an important part of the treatment protocol. Zinc and copper should not be taken at the same time of day."

    "Copper deficiency can lead to hemorrhoids, varicose veins, fatigue, edema, hair loss, anorexia, skin problems, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, aneurisms, and many other undesired conditions. Current nutritional teachings are misinformed on the topic of copper toxicity. The immune system uses copper and iron to fight infections associated with Lyme disease. As a result, oxidized copper is displaced in the connective tissue and may appear as though the patient is copper toxic by some testing methods when in fact copper supplementation may be appropriate. High dose Vitamin C has the effect of changing copper to a form that can be reused by the body. "

    Detoxification and Course of Treatment

    "For many patients, the course of treatment will not be an easy one. This is a treatment that should be done only under the care and supervision of a doctor as patients often experience a worsening in their condition before they improve. According to Dr. Klinghardt, many of our metabolic enzymes use zinc as part of their molecular makeup. However, in patients with HPU, there is not enough zinc available to satisfy the need. In these cases, lead, mercury and other 2-valent metals bind to these sites instead in a poor attempt to fulfill the role of zinc. "

    "Once zinc is reintroduced into the body, heavy metals are displaced from these sites. Zinc is once again highly supportive of human health. However, the patient now has dislodged heavy metals circulating throughout the body. These are either competing for the already overtaxed detoxification pathways or are redistributed to places where they may be more harmful."

    "For this reason, it is wise to have detoxification and binding agents on board at all times while implementing the HPU protocol. In fact, starting a heavy metal detoxification protocol several months prior to beginning the HPU treatment is strongly advised. Heavy metal detoxification agents may include chlorella, BioPure MicroSilica, BioPure Phospholipid Exchange (NaEDTA), Detoxamin (CaEDTA) suppositories, fiber, green and red clays, zeolites, pectins, beta-sitosterol, DMSA, DMPS, OSR, and other agents to mop up the mobilized heavy metals. "

    "Generally speaking, about two to six weeks after the treatment begins, it is important for the practitioner to be ready to deal with symptoms of acute metal toxicity. This healing crisis continues in waves for months. The severity is not to be underestimated. Hair analysis can be used to monitor the client. Strong metal detoxification agents are often needed. Supplementing zinc liberates 2-valent metals such as Mercury, Cadmium, Aluminum, and Lead. Patients express symptoms of acute heavy metal toxicity, which have to be addressed. At this stage of the protocol, the patient generally will require treatments addressed at heavy metal detoxification such as binding agents, chelators, colonics, liver/gallbladder flushes, castor oil packs, sauna and other heavy metal detoxification modalities. The practitioner may opt for the old workhorses such as DMPS, DMSA, EDTA, and IV Glutathione to address detoxification of metals. Freeze-dried garlic and vitamin E have a protective effect."

    "To increase the body's ability to detoxify, sound-wave enhanced chlorella at a dose of 15 tablets three times per day with meals is often used. To mobilize heavy metals from their binding sites and provide glutathione precursors and binding-peptides, nanonized chlorella (BioPure Matrix Metals) at 5-6 sprays twice daily and energized cilantro tincture at 15 drops three times daily are used. To assist in shuttling metals from the intracellular environment to the liver, BioPure Phospholipid Exchange (alpha-lipoic acid, phospholipids, and magnesium) is used."

    "One approach is to start the patient on agents that will first support removal of metals from the gastrointestinal tract such as chlorella and BioPure MicroSilica. Rectal EDTA (Detoxamin) may be used next followed by BioPure Phospholipid Exchange. Most patients will require a number of different agents. It is critical to support the kidneys with specific drainage remedies in order to optimize the removal of heavy metals. BioPure Matrix Electrolytes at two tablespoons daily mixed with a capful of M-Water in water and a teaspoon of agave syrup supports kidney function. "

    "In some cases, the rate of detoxification may need to be slowed in order to improve patient tolerance and comfort. Consideration may be given to both lowering the dosages of the protocol as well as to agents that will alkalinize the body. Detoxification of heavy metals occurs only in an acidic environment. However, in such an environment, these metals are also highly reactive. Thus, the practitioner may alkalinize the patient in order to slow down process underway. The saliva and urine pH is monitored and used in determining if an alkalinizing protocol may be appropriate. "

    "The next stage of the treatment response is often the appearance of fevers as the immune system wakes up and begins to respond to previously ignored or under-addressed infections. As soon as the nutritional losses of HPU are corrected, the previously intractable chronic Lyme patient tends to respond to much milder and more biological antimicrobial interventions. Dr. Klinghardt prefers the use of plant peroxides from ozonated plant oils such as Rizol Gamma, Rizol Zeta, and BioPure Quintessence."

    "An interesting observation has been that patients with HPU often get worse when an attempt is made to incorporate detoxification agents or antimicrobial agents prior to having first addressed the HPU condition. Once HPU has been addressed, these other treatment options are much more effective and better tolerated."

    Additional Considerations

    "Many patients with chronic Lyme disease have issues with sulfur intolerance. This leads to a patient being unable to effectively utilize a number of detoxification agents such as alpha-lipoic acid, DMSA, DMPS, and glutathione as well as supplements such as garlic. This may be related to genetics, but some of the enzymes involved in sulfur metabolism (CBS and others) are heme and B6 dependent - both of which are depleted in HPU. As patients are treated for HPU, these sulfur tolerance issues may resolve. Dr. Klinghardt has found that molybdenum at a dose of 300mcg per day may correct sulfur intolerance in patients with HPU; as molybdenum may also be lost in these patients. Ammonia is generally high in patients with HPU. As HPU is treated, high levels of ammonia tend to normalize."

    Radio: Please watch this interview with Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt about Lyme Disease and co-infections.

    Dietritch Klinghardt, M.D.'s presentation on HPU / KPU / Pyroluria, Lyme disease

    We need to ask the right questions in order to have full understanding of the contributing factors to our illnesses. We will live with these pathogenic monsters everyday of our lives. I do believe recovery is possible for many and that is my goal. I feel it's important we document our experiences and help others understand that we do have non-toxic treatment options and functional comprehensive testing that may be beneficial.

    Never give up the fight!

    Incredible, cutting-edge information! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    This post inspired me to order a HPU/KPU test. I have 20 out of 32 symptoms on a checklist, they recommend testing if you have over 15.

    I have just started to take some B6 in the form of 25mg P-5-P sublingual and I am feeling more relaxed, easier to fall alseep at night. It is a big contrast to the 'wired' feeling I was suffering from.

Default James3 and jhall5754 Potential Scammer

If you receive a p.m. or email from "james3" or "jhall5754", whatever you do, do not send either money for anything. We are trying to figure out how he is able to access the forms under a ghost username. He has scammed at least two people that we know of.

You cannot make an assignment to a character string.  You need to create
an intermediate variable before making the assignment statement.  However the answer
is still not that easy.  The behavior of Mathematica in this case is quite subtle.
Let me give you one solution and chew on coming up with a good explanation for why
Mathematica behaves the way it does.

newData = Import["test.dat"]
{{"a", "b", "c", "d"}, {1, 23, 45, 678}}

lhs = ToExpression[newData[[1]]]
{a, b, c, d}

rhs = newData[[2]]
{1, 23, 45, 678}

MapThread[(#1 = #2) &, {lhs, rhs}]
{1, 23, 45, 678}

Sorry for any duplicate messages.

Does anyone know how to change the color of the font in a ToString command.

For example, in the following, the text should be blue, but the number 3 should be red.

n = 3;
Text[Style["There is "<> ToString[Style[n, Red]] <> " numbers here", Blue]]

Thank you,

A weekend story

Angel Antonius looked appreciatively at his tiny wooden workbench. Many millennia ago, he had carved it from a giant oak tree he had found after the great flood. He did not need the workbench to do his chosen task, but he found that it helped him focus. He needed that focus sometimes to help with the competing emotions of his chosen task. He ran his hand over the smooth finely-grained surface and once again felt connected to the earthly world he served.
“Antonius” a small voice cried out, “Antonius.”
Antonius saw the small Cherubim flying towards the area where he had positioned his workbench.
“Malachi.” Antonius replied to his friend. “I cannot talk now. I have to return to Earth.”
“I know.” Malachi responded. “I want to come with you. I want to learn what you know and to help.”
“Are you certain that this is the task you want for yourself?” Antonius asked as he gestured to his simple workbench and the tattered hem of his robe.
“You could fix your robe if you wished.” Malachi answered. “Many of the other angels think it is silly to have such a tattered robe.”
“It is not all joy and happiness, Malachi.” Antonius stated, a slight frown creased his brow. “My task brings pain with the joy, tears with the laughter.”
“But you bring the kittens to earth.” Malachi replied, “And I do love the newborn kittens.”
“But I also bring the Lost Ones back to Heaven.” Antonius stated.
“Please, Can I help you?”
“Yes.” Antonius agreed. “You may help me.”
Antonius motioned for Malachi to follow him.

They walked together across the vast expanse of Heaven.
Malachi noticed a simple cobblestone bridge. It shimmered with the colours of the rainbow. This side of the bridge was clear but the far side was concealed with a faint haze. Every so often, a human would appear. Sometimes they would be accompanied by a single cat or dog or bird or ferret or bunny or horse or other animal, other times they would be followed by several.
“Is that the Rainbow Bridge?” Malachi asked.
“Yes.” Antonius said. “We built it soon after Humans befriended the first animal.”
Antonius and Malachi reached a small spot where there appeared to be thousands of newborn kittens all sound asleep. Antonius walked softly amongst the sleeping kittens. He looked lovingly down upon the tiny little furry bodies.
“How do you know which ones to take?” Malachi asked.
“There are no wrong ones to take, Malachi.” Antonius replied. “Each has a purpose and a destiny set for it by God. I simply place them on their path.”
Antonius methodically picked from the multitude of sleeping kittens. The kittens barely stirred from their slumber as Antonius kissed them on their foreheads and placed them into the folds of his robe.
“Can I carry some?” Malachi asked.
“Certainly.” Antonius replied as he picked two small Siamese kittens and placed them into Malachi’s hands. “Now slip them into the folds of your robe for they get very cold.”
Malachi slipped the two kittens into his robes and grinned as he felt the kittens snuggle up to the warmth of his body. Antonius smiled.
“We will go and deliver these beloved ones to Earth.” Antonius said as he motioned for Malachis to follow.

Antonius and Malachi stood over the sleeping body of the pregnant Siamese cat. She was sleeping soundly and did not stir at the presence of the two angels. Antonius looked at Malachi.
“Take your kittens and give them to their mother.” Antonius guided.
“But there are four within her, Antonius.” Malachi asked. “Why did you have me bring only two?”
“Because that is all God said to bring.”
“What about the other two?”
“They were never meant to breathe the air of Earth.” Antonius said. “Do not fret for them. They will remain but a husk, an empty shell. Sometimes, that is the most merciful thing we can do.”
Malachi took the two kittens from his robe and placed them next to their mother.
“Now pay attention.” Antonius began to sing softly to the mother cat.
Malachi listened to the words of Antonius’s song and grew sad as he heard each note and syllable leave Antonius’s tongue. The forms of the two kittens slowly merged with the mother cat. When Antonius was done, Malachi saw that the angel was crying and that his tears fell softly on the still sleeping cat.
“Why do you weep, Antonius?” Malachi asked. “Is not birth of a creature a joyous thing?”
“The creation of life is a joyous event.” Antonius replied. “But life for these two will not be happy or pleasant. You wondered why we only brought two kittens. It is because the Humans who own this poor creature do not care for it properly and see it as a means to satisfy their own greed. Their callousness is why we could only bring two.”
Antonius brushed the tear from his cheek.
“Come.” Antonius moved away from the sleeping cat and her ready to be borne kittens. “We have many more to deliver yet.”
Malachi followed Antonius to the next cat. Antonius once again pulled a certain number of kittens from the fold of his robe and placed them next the sleeping cat. Once again with his mournful song, he merged the kittens with their new mother. The act repeated itself over and over. Malachi thought his heart would break as he felt the loss Antonius carried in his song. Soon there were no more kittens in Malachi’s or Antonius’s robes.

“We have one more thing to do.” Antonius said. “For now, we have to guide the cats and kittens who have passed back to Heaven.”
Antonius took Malachi to a dreary forlorn spot. The building might have once been a warehouse where Humans worked and toiled, but now it was blackened and lifeless. Antonius moved to a small corner where several charred beams and pieces of wood had collapsed. Malachi gasped as Antonius lifted the burnt wood away and exposed the still, scarred body of a cat.
“Poor cat.” Malachi mourned, “I hope she did not suffer.”
“But she did.” Antonius replied. “She suffered most cruelly. But she gave her life in an attempt to save those she held most dear.”
Antonius gently moved the body of the cat and exposed the uncharred forms of three small kittens. Unlike their mother, their bodies bore no mark of fire.
“Knowing that she could not escape, she placed her body between her kittens and the fire in hopes of saving them with her sacrifice. But it was for naught, for although the fire did not touch them, the smoke surely did.” Antonius noted. “And now it is time to take them all home.”
Antonius knelt beside the still forms of the cats. He pulled one feather from his left wing and placed it on the ground in front of him. He then pulled another feather from his right wing and set it next to the other. Antonius repeated this pulling of feathers from his wings until he had four sets lying on the ground. He reached down to hem of his robe and pulled a thread from the silken cloth. Gently, he bound two feathers together with the thread and then he placed the feathers on the charred body of the mother cat.
Malachi listened to Antonius as he worked on the feathers. Once again Antonius was singing, but the song was not mournful or sad. It was full of joy and happiness. Malachi was confused.
Antonius placed his fingertips to his lips and then touched his hand to the feathers on top of the mother cat. There was golden shimmer as the feathers grew into a set of angel wings and attached themselves to the mother cat’s back. As they grew and fixated onto the cat’s body, the scars and burn marks from the fire faded. Antonius placed the feathers onto the kittens and placed a kiss onto each kitten. He sang as the wings appeared and smoke-filled lungs once again breathed clean air.
“That’s why your robe is tattered.” Malachi stated.
“Yes.” Antonius replied. “This is why it is always tattered. Never more than thumb-width, but never less. My tattered hem is a reminder of all the cats I have brought back to Heaven. To repair it would not be right.”
“But why was the song placing the kittens on Earth so sad, but the song of their death so happy.” Malachi asked.
“The song of their birth is sad, because I know that I might be dooming them to a life of fear, pain and loneliness far from the grace of Heaven.” Antonius said. “But my joy knows no bounds when I know that I have come to return them to Heaven. I am allowed to free them from their existence on Earth and bring them back into the light of God.”
“Some of the cats will choose to stay at the Rainbow Bridge and wait for the Humans that cared for them.” Antonius stated. “But Lost Ones, such as these, will come back with us to Heaven, for they have no one to wait for at the Rainbow Bridge.”
Antonius scooped up the three kittens and motioned for Malachi to pick up the female cat. The kittens purred and squirmed in Antonius’ arms. The female cat looked over at her kittens and accepted that they were finally safe. She snuggled into Malachi’s robe.
“Now we take them home.” Antonius smiled to a beaming Malachi.
Malachi smiled back and then briefly closed his eyes. The hem of his robe unraveled to match Antonius’s. Only a thumb-width. No more. No less.

A Special Post

Dad: Sargeant-At-Claws!
Magoo: Yes, Sir!
Dad: Is Everyone Present?
Magoo: Yes, Sir!
Dad: Honour Guard! Attention!
Dolce and Baci:: shuffle nervously :: Attention, Sir!
Dad: M'Ladies, Would you please escort in our honored guest.
Bella and Chloe: As you wish.

Bella and Chloe leave the room. They return, escorting Smudge, one on each side.

Dad: Smudge, Present yourself to your family and kin!

Bella and Chloe lead Smudge until he stands before Dad, and then they solemnly move two paces away.

Dad: Smudge, Do you know why your family and kin have brought you here tonight?

Smudge: No.

Dad: They are here to bear witness and affirm what I as head of this household am about to bestow apon you.

Baci, Dolce, Magoo, Bella and Chloe look at each other and then at Smudge.

Dad: Tonight, You stood at the backdoor and growled for no apparent reason.

Smudge: I might have.

Dad: Good. So you admit the action which is the cause of all this ceremony tonight. Do you know what was discovered apon hearing your growl at the backdoor?

Smudge: I think so, I was growling at it.

Dad: But was it in your yard?

Smudge: No. It was past the fence over near the...

Dad: It was over near the road. Not a real busy road but a dangerous road nonetheless.

Smudge: Yes, You always told us to stay away from the road because it was dangerous.

Dad: Do you know what I saw when I went to investigate what you were growling at?

Smudge: The furry cat that sometimes comes to visit us.

Dad: Yes. The furry cat that comes to visit our yard from time to time. You have done a great and noble thing dear furriend.
:: Dad speaks to the other Cats ::
When I looked to see what was bothering dear Smudge, I saw our dear furry visitor attempting to cross the road at the end of our block. Now our road is not extremely busy but other stupid humans drive too fast and without care and attention to felines and puppies who might be out for an unsupervised stroll. I saw this poor feline soul starting to cross the road. I yelled at the feline. The cat surprisingly turned back and did not cross the road. Now if its home had laid across the road's expanse it would have ran faster across the road. But it did not. It came back to our side of the road. The side of the road where its home must surely be. By your actions, Smudge, I was able to prevent an unknown furriend from doing something that might endanger it own life. To do something for someone or some furriend that you do not even know that is the greatest act of honour and compassion known on this Earth.

As the bean of this household, it is my honour to bestow upon you the rank and privileges of the Holy and Ancient Order of the Catnip. Rise now, Sir Smudge, and accept your honours.

  2. Oh dear Smudge, we are so proud of you! Oops, we meant to say Sir Smudge!

    Purrrrrrrs, China Cat & Willow

  3. Go, Sir Smudge!

    I hope everycat is getting on better in the house whapping or hissing!

  4. Way to go Smudge! We all need to look out for each other, and you are setting a great example.

    Good luck to your Dad in his job hunt.

  5. Yay Smudge! You did a good thing!

College dreams encouraged through state’s CHET competition

This is an archived article and the information in the article may be outdated. Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated.

HARTFORD -- Emily Bjornberg, director of financial literacy for Connecticut's Office of the Treasurer visited FOX61's Good Day Connecticut to talk with Amanda Raus about the Connecticut Higher Education Trust's Dream Big! competition.

This year marks the tenth year of the competition, which is a drawing and essay competition for K-8 grade students sponsored by the Connecticut State Treasurer’s Office, CHET - Connecticut 529 College Savings Plan, and TIAA Tuition Financing.

The competition invites students to express themselves creatively by submitting an original drawing illustrating “what I want to do after I go to college?” or writing a 250 word essay responding to the question “how will I change the world after I go to college?”

The rising cost of college can be daunting for families. Dream Big! was created to promote and encourage families to start saving for college early so their children can realize their dreams and make a difference in the world.

Read an excerpt

Daydream Believers: How a Few Grand Ideas Wrecked American Power (2008)

“A lively and entertaining—if occasionally horrifying—read… Like a master archaeologist who can see through the shards and stones of a dig to reconstruct the culture of the city below, Kaplan lays out all the failures, omissions, and delusions of Bush administration officials. The result is an account of the pathologies…of Washington itself…a caution about the limits of purely military power and the dangers of seeing the world as a morality play.”
Anne-Marie Slaughter, The Washington Post Book World

Michiko Kakutami, The New York Times

“Excellent and devastating… Go, please, and buy Kaplan’s book. His great work deserves attention and reward.”
Joe Klein, Time

“The inside history of our time, told with precision and confidence, by an author who knows where the secrets are kept.”
Thomas E. Ricks, author of Fiasco

“Fred Kaplan has long been one of our most incisive thinkers about strategic issues. In this provocative book, he challenges many of our assumptions about the post-9/11 world and offers a dose of realism about the way the world actually works after the end of the Cold War. It’s a bracing read.”
Walter Isaacson, author of Einstein and The Wise Men

“In his Slate chronicles through the Iraq War years, Fred Kaplan consistently outshone other analysts with his explanations of what was going wrong, and why. In this engrossing and completely new work, he tells the story of the little-known theorists who have shaped much of the world’s recent history. For me this book was full of revelations.”
James Fallows, national correspondent, The Atlantic Monthly

At Last, Sunny Days and Lawn Mowing

This has turned out to be a busy week. I'm reading a book that I'm dying to finish, but since it finally stopped raining every other day and the yard gradually dried out, I haven't had time. Every day since last Saturday I've been out mowing for at least a couple hours a day. I started with the least "gooshy" sections and then moved on as the drying continued. I've even gone over sections that were too damp when I mowed the first time, so now the yard is looking good. I have one section to go, the one that is normally the wettest. Hopefully I won't get stuck this afternoon; I've had to have Dave help me out several times when I got stuck in mud or fell into a woodchuck hole. He won't let me hear the end of it.

I also got my new crown at the dentist's office. The temporary was driving me crazy because it was rough and had a kind of sharp edge so my tongue has been feeling raw. Now I'm back to normal, thankfully.

Most of the leaves are out now but still have that "new" green appearance. Dogwoods are blooming around the towns nearby and the magnolia trees are losing their blossoms. We had a magnolia in our front yard in Connecticut; I have fond memories of its beauty but less fond memories of trying to clean up the juicy petals from the ground.

Update on Scaredy Cat, our stray that I've been trying to make friends with since last summer. She is not only eating on the patio, she actually talks to me now (no, I don't know what she's saying) and has come within a couple inches of my hand. When I get up in the morning, she's waiting and watching the window for me. I don't think her name will change after all. Scaredy Cat will be it forever. I think this summer we'll finally get to be on a touching basis, and she's getting curious about the inside of the house. I hope she won't be spending next winter in the barn.

Tomorrow I'm going to take a day off from yard work (my body will be sooo grateful), have lunch in town with an old friend, and finish that good book. I can hardly wait.

  1. Holy cow! How big is your yard? We opted for a small yard the last time we moved and are now ready for no yard.

  2. That's a coincidence, my wife and I spent much of Mother's day doing gardening. Now our front yard looks spiffy and we're remodeling a bathroom.

  3. Good ol' Blogger. These comments got lost in the ether for a while, then suddenly appeared today! At any rate, we mow a lot - I would estimate around 3+ acres. That's what happens out in the country. I have an ulterior motive for keeping the grass short; I hate snakes so I figure the shorter the grass is, the less likely I am to accidentally get close to one.

    After this post it started raining again. Yesterday I was out trying to get as much as possible mowed before it rains again. Could only drive on the grass right around the house though. The rest is too wet - I'd get the Cub Cadet stuck for sure. What I mowed was like a hay field so there are piles and windrows of cut grass all over the place and the lawn needs mowing again. Can't win.
