Most Africans agree that ‘juju’ (voodoo or magic) is real. Some have experienced or witnessed it; some have heard narrations and ‘evidence’ from family members and friends. Juju is a ‘fetish, charm, or amulet’ that is common in West Africa

Most recently (24 March 2014), we saw images of a hex (juju) that was allegedly found at the residence of the Special Executive Assistant to the President of Sierra Leone, Sylvia Olayinka Blyden. According to the SEA, desperate people are fighting by all means necessary to get her out of State House (The president’s office). This led to a woman who professes her faith in the Almighty God to seek the assistance of a traditional healer (a euphemism for a witch doctor) one Dr Sulaiman Kabbah, who happens to be the President of the Sierra Leone Traditional Healers Association, in the wee hours of the morning, to explain what the hex was all about and to ‘detonate’ the hex (juju) by way of ceremonies.

“…even though the presidential guards had urinated on the evil black magic arsenal that night, it was so built that when the four horns were split open, red blood flowed out. Also in the witch arsenal were monkey’s hair, dog’s hair, puss (cat’s) hair, cowrie shells, loads of leafy powderish stuff and so much more”, said the shaken Special Executive Assistant to the president”.

This goes to show that even educated, religious people with social and political clout do believe in the existence and ‘power’ of juju. Dirk Kohnert, (Germany’s Institute for African Affairs) was right when he stated that the belief in juju and similar practices are still “deeply rooted in many African societies, regardless of education, religion, and social class of the people concerned“.

Going by the experiences some people have had and the gory stories most have heard (with regards the use of juju to kill, make people go crazy, to curse people, to make them seriously ill etc) it is understandable why most people would be shaken by the situation and wouldn’t want to leave it to chance.

Unwittingly, however, it also questions how powerful people really think God is. If God created man, does it not follow that he is more powerful than man? If one therefore believes in God and walks in his ways, does it not follow that he’s got the power to protect one from the pestilence that flies by night?

With regards to juju playing a part in African politics, my friend the ‘conspiracy theorist’ suggests that juju does play a significant role in African politics. According to him, it is used for so many reasons; to secure positions in government, to get rid of others, to be favoured, to destroy, to be more powerful and for protection etc.

Make no mistake; the corridors of power are contaminated with juju, superstitious beliefs and supernatural powers. If they are not rubbing smelly concoctions, they are drinking potions, carrying amulets or charms and burying objects and animals. It is everywhere. It is no longer about merits or what you know but who your ‘witch doctor’ is. ‘Just lek wae doctor pass doctor…witch doctor pass witch doctor’ he added.

I was intrigued and decided to engage another friend who also questioned the role juju plays in African politics. We recounted stories, rumours, allegations, reports in the past and present with regards juju. He concluded that the manner in which some of our leaders (African) have behaved in the past and continue to behave beggars belief.

They are rendered weak/powerless in the midst of all these jujus. The people that surround them come fully prepared with charms to get their way by hook or crook. Check how many criminal activities have gone unpunished or check how many square pegs we’ve got in round holes then you’ll start to understand the role juju plays in African politics”, he concluded.

During my research, I came across the Nairaland Forum. There was an article there titled ‘Juju Scare In Aso Rock!’ (dated June 28, 2011). The opening paragraph reads: “PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan is ill at ease at the moment. Inside sources in the country’s seat of power the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja confided in National Daily that the number one citizen does not know whom to trust any longer.Reports indicated that the President is suspecting the possibility of some ‘unexpectedly’ highly influential guests using charms better known as Juju or native African fetish spell on him”.

According to the same article, aides to the president disclosed that the president ‘gets tired or exhausted unnecessarily after visits from certain guests’ (most of them not on the scheduled list).

I decided to scroll down and read comments by other contributors. One, from Dan John, caught my eye. “I do not believe in Juju.  I just do not believe in it.  When you believe that a problem is caused by spiritual forces, it infringes on your ability to come up with rational and objective solutions.

For example this story talks about how appointments are added to the President’s schedule at the last minute.  Has there been any conversation about whether the President is overworked or whether he needs to do more exercise in order to have more stamina?  They speak about how the President is forgetful.  How he forgets to reprimand members of his staff when needed.  Can these be early signs of dementia?  These are questions that educated people should ask.

People need to stop jumping into Juju conclusions without even exploring other possibilities.  When the British came to Nigeria, they had machine guns and we had Juju and evil forests.  Well, we know who won that fight”, he responded.

I tend to agree with Dan. We cannot continue to place everything on juju. A lot of our politicians seem to be so engrossed and overwhelmed by the practices it keeps them in a permanent state of paranoia. Though the effects of juju cannot be discounted, the psychology behind it is even more destructive. For Africa to progress, we must be rational in our undertakings rather than be crippled by irrational fears. If they’ve got the power to destroy, why not use it to develop the continent and the various countries?

Still on Nigeria – a mention was also made (in the article above) about a feud between Former President Obasanjo of Nigeria and his estranged Vice-President, Mr Atiku Abubakar. According to the article, President Obasanjo accused his vice of ‘craving to kill him through the dreaded juju spell’. It was alleged that the vice had confided in a former minister that “Don’t worry, the president will be dead soon”. Mr Abubakar suggested that Obasanjo’s mind was full of “the cobwebs of juju or occult”.

In a statement by Mr Atiku Abubakar, he said: “”The next occupant of the State House (presidential villa) will need to spiritually cleanse the presidential lodge to make it habitable for normal people”.

This brought to mind an quote in an article I had read in the past. It was by Esu Biyi – titled: “Temne Land Tenure” (Journal of the African Society). It reads: “In retaliation for this unjust transaction, by which their lands had been wrestled from them, the natives are said to have, in accordance with their custom, consigned the place to a ban by burying an ass’s head on Fort Thornton (now State House). This according to the significance of native occultism, dooms the place to an ever retrograding progress”.

Another brother whose article I enjoyed reading on the topic and found very informative is Kofi Akosah-Sarpong (Journalist). He summed it up perfectly when he said: “African elites are yet to realize that juju practices are counterproductive to progress. Dabbling in juju weakens the rulers’ ability to totally rationalize developmental problems on the ground. As the Obasanjo and Atiku row demonstrates, juju and other such practices not only weaken trust, a key ingredient in national development, but  also undermine “national morality, because they are based on irrational spirit power,” as Robert Kaplan reports in “The Coming Anarchy.”

The conversations I had with my friends and the research I did made me sit and think whether juju was responsible for late President Momoh’s infantile behaviour; whether it led to the RUF dastardly behaviour, whether it affected the late Pa Kabbah and whether it’s rendering our current president powerless and meek. The people mentioned above do not necessarily have to dabble in it but the people around them. Like my friend joked in krio, ‘some man wae dae round de pa en dem ministry dem always strap like Rambo. But instead of guns and grenade, nar jaygay en bokku rub rub’ (meaning: some people around the president and the ministries are well prepared with charms and rub their bodies down with some concoction by witch doctors)

According to Kofi, dabbling in juju is partly responsible for the destructions the RUF caused. “The RUF itself got entrapped in the ancient juju-marabou practices. Expectedly, it derailed RUF’s aimed democratic revolution and made RUF frozen in the dark practices of this aspect of the African culture. In their confusion – stuck in juju practices, the RUF amputated Sierra Leoneans limbs, turned girls into prostitutes, looted diamonds, fire-bombed properties, practiced cannibalism, and frequently carved the initials “RUF” on their child soldiers’ chest”.

Whether one believes in these superstitions or not, the psychology behind it cannot be discounted. Men/women can go to great lengths if they believe in the power of something. To believe that you can use it to your advantage and to harm others is to believe that others can use it also to your disadvantage. The fear can be crippling. Imagine the torment if you find yourself in that position. The paranoia can be overwhelming.

Let’s say a leader believes in Juju. It is fair to say that he/she can afford the most ‘powerful’ witch doctor (that is if one exists). In the process of seeking the assistance of a witch doctor for protection or to find favour with the masses, they automatically become powerless. Psychologically that is.

They are unwittingly handing over power to the witch doctor who in turn controls their every move and make decisions for them. Whilst the witch doctor enriches himself, the leader enters a permanent state of confusion and paranoia. For instance, if the leader had any suspicion that someone was after his job or trying to harm him he’ll subsequently seek further ‘help’ from the ‘juju man/woman’. The leader will swallow hook, line and sinker whatever the witch doctor dishes out.

If he (medium) was to say your deputy, for example, is after your job, this would create tension between the leader and his deputy (whether there’s tangible proof or not) as we saw with Obasanjo and Abubakar in Nigeria. Could the same be said of the sour relationship (that existed) between our president Koroma and his deputy Sam Sumana? Rumours are rife on social media and some Sierra Leonean circles that some of our politicians dabble in juju. This is worrying for Sierra Leone. The irrationalities connected with juju cannot be relied on to move Sierra Leone forward.

Mr Akosah-Sarpong was spot on when he said: “Africa’s development history shows that leaders, both military and civilians, who dabble heavily in juju either paralyze their country, blow it into pieces or are blinded from reasoning properly to solve problems.

Dabbling in juju weakens the rational abilities of the ruling elites to handle the problems of the people. The leader becomes unrealistic, depending on illiterate, irrational, unscientific and impractical juju mediums that, in all measure, are immoral and destructive.

The juju- dabbling Africa leader sees critics as enemies and lives in paranoia to the detriment of Africa’s progress. Such leaders become the manipulative robots of the juju and spiritual mediums”.

Britain is not great because of Juju; neither is America powerful because of Juju. Do you think Obama used juju to be elected the first black president of America? No. He did it through hard work; honesty, dedication, genuine love for the people, people believed in him, he earned people’s respect and was consistent in what he was doing. There are no short cuts in life. Consulting a juju man/woman is attempting to take short cuts. The results can be destructive.

I have read about how Ghana’s General Kutu Acheampong, (then head of state of Ghana) was ‘confused and rolling from one juju/marabou medium to another’. According to Kofi Akosah-Sarpong “the juju/marabou made Acheampong not only gullible but also infantile, believing in everything the spiritual mediums told him”. People also gossiped that Acheampong swam every midnight in a river in Accra as advised by his spiritual mediums. Why, you may wonder? Apparently, to prevent him from being overthrown and to protect him from ‘evil spirits’. Nevertheless, he was still overthrown and executed.

Idi Amin of Uganda was said to have deported all Asians in Uganda because he was instructed by his witch doctor to do so. That led to Economic ruin for his country. I have also read about Jean-Bedel Bokassa (Central Africa Republic) who ‘ate human flesh as part of his juju/marabou rituals for power. We’ve also heard of the late Sekou Toure of Guinea and his mystical ‘walking stick’. Late Samuel Doe was said to have paid too much attention to ‘spiritual mediums’ as well. We also hear a lot of stories about Jammeh of the Gambia. The list goes on.

Decades ago in Sierra Leone kids were warned not to wander off during elections for fear of them being sacrificed for political power. In the last general elections in Sierra Leone there were reports of a woman who went missing in Kambia (Northern part of Sierra Leone). The woman’s corpse was later found with her parts missing. Some suspect she was sacrificed for political power.

The above incidences are just a tip of the iceberg. There are many more reports, gossips and allegations of African politicians dabbling in juju and it’s being going on for a very long time. Might this be partly responsible for the dire situation we find ourselves in today? If these witch doctors are that powerful, it begs the question why they do not use these ‘powers’ for the advancement of Africa to compete on the world stage? It is self-defeating really.

Africa finds itself in a precarious position. If our politicians and the general populace continue to dabble in juju/witch craft for selfish means; for political power, to be favoured or to destroy another – then sustainable development will continue to elude many African countries. At the instructions of the various juju men/women our politicians and the people will continue to act on a whim. Reasoning will go out of the window whenever the witch doctor/marabou opens their mouth. In the process those that consult these spiritual mediums become powerless as they do not believe in their capabilities anymore but the words of the juju man.

Obama never used the help of a juju man but still made history by becoming the First black president in the USA. So, for all those wondering whether it is possible to succeed in life without juju…you have got your answer in Obama. Yes, it is possible!

Woe unto anyone who would sacrifice another for any type of power. Woe unto anyone who would want to harm another just to get ahead. Woe unto any leader who’s entrapped in the psychology of juju.

hey family i am back this time with a lil bit of facts. My ggrandfather Tom Horn's mother was anneliza horn born in 1867 as Anneliza pate in south carolina. Anneliza was listed in the 1900 census as married for fifteen years with 12 children of which only seven was listed in Mt Croghan chesterfield and the husband was not listed. in 1910 she was listed as being widowed and the children living with her at this time were adam horn eva horn and roosevelt horn. Anneliza died in 1929 in chesterfield county. Roosevelt was listed as a boarder in1930 adam lived in mt. croghan with his family and eva disappeared. On my ggrandfathers death certificate the father was listed as henry horn but i could never find a birthdate or anything because he was never listed in any of the census. Im thinking of ordering another one of the childrens death certificate to see if henry is listed. Possibly roosevelt who was born in 1908 in south carolina and died in 1972 in south carolina. he has a social security number thats how i got his birthdate. Do you think i can find anything if i get his death certificate.

One of the keys to the recovery and success of our small business community is the availability of financing. Nearly every day I hear CEOs of banks and "authorities" in the media saying that banks are lending, while there are plenty of small business owners who say that they are not.

What is the truth, and how long must we go on with unresolved conflicting views? When will our media sleuths get to the bottom of this issue and tell us the truth? Small business, their owners, and those who serve them would like to know the answer and see the environment improving in order to commit to expansion, hiring and other investments.

Based upon my business-related conversations with lending officers in recent months, my reply would be, "Yes, banks are lending, but significantly less than three years ago."

The main (obvious) point consistently not made in the media is that the requirements to receive a loan are tighter. While a bank says that it will loan money "to qualified businesses and individuals," here is what probably has changed and what the media should be revealing to the public:

• Some banks will no longer lend to a new business (in business two years or less, for example), regardless of the quality and experience of the management team.

• Credit scores of business owners must be above "X," where "X" is either higher than it used to be or harder to attain given the economy of recent years.

• Businesses must show two or three years of increasing sales and/or profits (many small businesses can't meet that requirement, through no fault of their management acumen or activity).

• Some lenders have pulled back from lending to businesses in certain industries. It certainly is more difficult for an average restaurant to get a loan than it was four years ago.

• Extensive and more stringent personal collateral requirements may be required of owners, who may be more reluctant to commit personal assets given today's political and economic uncertainty.

You get the idea.

Before we tar-and-feather our local lending officer, we should remember that these requirements are generally policy decisions made at the highest levels of a financial institution.

Often, those policy decisions are made in an environment of increasing regulator scrutiny and more stringent capital requirements (which would have been very useful four or five years ago). And, your lending officer is most likely also being affected financially by the current difficulty in making a "normal" volume of loans.

It takes courage and energy on the part of a lender in today's environment to truly understand your business and to stick his or her neck out for a small business with quality fundamentals and a good management team.

Larger businesses have access to private investment banking firms when conventional lending is more difficult to come by ... smaller businesses, not so much.

The good news: There are some banks willing to make the effort to understand your business and bend the rule-of-thumb if you can make a well thought out and solid case for financing.

These banks, and their more industrious lending officers, will play a part in bringing us out of the current doldrums.

Most of them will likely never get the recognition they will deserve for taking the risk and going the extra mile to allow those businesses to be successful.

In General Sometimes, it is very hard to train... Entry Tools Rate This Entry
  #63 New 06-29-2004 08:13 AM
I went to class on Saturday, even though I wasn't feeling 100%. I'd been having stomach troubles all week, and I'd strained my back the previous Tuesday working on my house. I found that my back held up pretty well unless I needed to arch it for ukemi. It's feeling better and better as time progresses.

However, my stomach trouble caused me to throw up a little bit about an hour into training. That's the first time in nearly five years of training that such a thing has happened to me! I've gotten a bit nauseated from time to time during periods of high exersion and/or high heat, but I've never thrown up. My instructor wasn't feeling well either, so I guess there's something going around.

Oh well, the throwing and falling felt pretty good until I got to feeling sick. I'll train again tonight and see how things go.

I've been exceptionally busy for the past month or more and it's starting to catch up with me. Mostly, I've been doing a lot of work on my house.

Still, I've managed to make it to practice twice a week most weeks. We're gearing up for another round of tests at our dojo. Richard and I will test for 2nd kyu in July. Micah will be testing for Shodan soon, and our instructor is going for Sandan soon too.

I'm less nervous this time than I was for the last test. Overall, I'm feeling pretty good about what I need to know for the test, and I still have some time to figure out the stuff I'm weak on.

I'm looking forward to tonight's open mat session and regular class.

In General AAA East Cost Instructors Seminar a huge success! Entry Tools Rate This Entry
  #61 New 06-02-2004 11:03 AM
From Thursday, May 27 though Sunday, May 30, I attended the AAA East Cost Instructors Seminar in lovely Charleston, West Virginia.

And I do mean lovely. West Virginia is a beautiful state and Charleston was a very pretty city. The seminar was held at the Charleston Family YMCA, on top of a hill overlooking the city. The facilities were fine and the instruction was top notch. I'll be typing up a more detailed report soon, but my first impressions are below.

Sato sensei did most of the teaching, but other members of the AAA teaching committee led sessions as well. The primary focus was on weapons. Apparently, instructors seminars have a different focus each year. Last year the focus was on ki tests and running a rank test. The year before, the focus was on teaching ukemi.

One highlight of the seminar, for me, was working on the first five kumijo with Matsuda sensei (the head of the Eastern Region). He pointed out a number of areas where I needed work and really helped me correct the mistakes I was making. My biggest mistake was in letting the ma ai collapse. I was consistently getting too close during the katas. I started to get a little frustrated and asked Matsuda sensei how I can avoid this problem; he pointed out that he is much shorter than I, so I should take smaller steps. It dawned on me that I usually train with people taller than me, so maybe I was too used to a certain range of movement. But, I really should know how to adjust my sense of distance to fit di ...More Read More

Falcon 7X Establishes Speed Record From New York To London City

 - May 21, 2014, 3:25 PM

A Dassault Falcon 7X earlier this month set a speed record from New York Teterboro airport to London City (LCY) airport, cruising at Mach 0.88 for most of the 3,465-nm trip.

At 8:04 a.m. local time on May 2, Dassault test pilot Philippe Deleume and Dassault operational pilot Olivier Froment took off with three passengers on board. The aircraft was fully equipped for normal operation with head-up display and enhanced vision system. Five hours and 54 minutes later, at 6:58 p.m. local time, the trijet touched down on the 4,000-foot runway at LCY. The data has been sent to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale in Lausanne, Switzerland for recognition as an official world record.

From LCY, the Falcon 7X provides the longest range of any business jet, according to Dassault Falcon, allowing it to serve destinations as distant as New York or Dubai. Flying from LCY’s short runway, it is limited in weight and thus in fuel. Therefore, on the outbound flight, it reached Teterboro in 7 hours 35 min, flying at its optimum long-range speed of Mach 0.80.

The Falcon 7X’s maximum range is 5,950 nm but, over shorter distances, it can cruise at speeds up to its maximum operating limit of Mach 0.90.

Paris 2011: Need for Interim Helmet for F-35 Pilots May Be Decided in August

 - June 22, 2011, 7:20 AM

This article is part of AIN’s comprehensive coverage of the F-35. Click here for news, videos and images of the long-awaited Joint Strike Fighter.

Following developmental issues with the Joint Strike Fighter’s helmet display that were raised earlier this year, the F-35 Joint Program Office is faced with making a decision this summer on whether to procure an interim helmet/display to use with standard night-vision goggles. Because the JSF cockpit lacks a head-up display, flight data has to be presented on some form of helmet-mounted device, making it a critical system.

Vision Systems International (VSI) of San Jose, California, was selected to provide the F-35 Gen II helmet-mounted display system, which presents flight data and imagery, such as that from the distributed aperture system, on a visor. Latency and jitter problems were encountered, and concerns were raised over the acuity of night-vision imagery.

As a consequence, a request-for-information was issued in early March to BAE Systems, Gentex and VSI for an interim solution based on proven off-the-shelf components, leading to an request-for-proposals on March 18.

The proposal from BAE Systems Platform Solutions draws on a number of the company’s other products. They include the tracked helmet developed for the Typhoon and the Q-Sight helmet-mounted display, the latter on course to complete safety-of-flight qualification at the end of this month.

According to Paul Cooke, director of business development for BAE Systems Defense Avionics, the Eurofighter Typhoon helmet’s system offers very accurate head tracking and low latency, important attributes for a system that could form a primary flight reference source. The Q-Sight sits close to the eye, and allows NVGs to be swung down easily in front of the display, while still offering a wide field of view.

In the meantime, VSI has elected not to respond to the RFP. “We have confidence in our approach,” asserts Drew Brugal, VSI’s president. “We’ve experienced these challenges before on other programs.” VSI has put in place a series of fixes that address the issues, including a new camera in the helmet that produced “very promising results” in its first tests last month.

Next month, government pilots test VSI’s helmet modifications , and the company is confident that the problems will have been overcome. Brugal commented that such issues were not uncommon when system design and development (SDD) had not been completed before production was launched, as is the case with the F-35.

Brugal said he expects that the JPO’s decision on whether an interim helmet was required would be taken in August.

Question What is an Ambassador Model

Hi Airstreamers,

This is my second post. I have been looking for an A/S and have stumbled upon several, but not to my liking. However, I have a lead on a 28' Ambassador, late '70s. What do the various designations mean in this era, i.e.: Sovereign, Overlander, Excella, Ambassador, etc.? What should I expect with an Ambassador model?

Any help is appreciated.

Take care,

What is an Ambassador Model?

Greetings Sean!

Airstream Land Yachts of the 1960s through 1970s were typically identified as follows:

Sovereign of the Road - - 30' or 31' depending upon year
Ambassador - - 28' or 29' depending upon year
Overlander - - 26' or 27' depending upon year
TradeWind - - 24' or 25' depending upon year
Caravanner - - 25'
Safari/Flying Cloud - - 22' or 23' depending upon year
Globetrotter - - 19' or 20' depedning upon year
Caravel - - 17' or 18'
Bambi II - - 17'
Bambi - - 16'

During much of the above time, International was a trim level available on virtually every Land Yacht. What was included in the package varied by year, but usually included a water filter, some specific interior trim items and in some cases ventilation fans and/or lighting upgrades.

The URL below will take you to a site with plentiful information about Vintage Airstreams.

Basically, the Ambassador will be a tandem axle trailer with either of two typical configurations. One configuration, called a double, features a center coach bedroom with a fold-out double bed facing a wardrobe closet wall. The second configuration, called a twin, has a center bedroom with a twin bed on either side of the aisle. The coach would have typically had a rear full bath with tub and shower and a wardrobe closet next to a linen closet in the bath area. (It is possible that the coach might have a side bath depending upon its actual placement within the 1970s era. The kitchen will be immediately to the left as you enter the door with the lving room to your right - - actual configurations could include a single front lounge with side chairs, twin lounges (one front and one streetside), and if I am not mistaken, a dintte type arrangment may also have been available.

A late 1970s Ambassador will likely have a dry weight around 5,000 pounds with an actual towing weight of around 6,500 pounds when fully loaded for a vacation.

Good luck with your investigation!

How Alabama State's Isaiah Crowell rates among draft-eligible RBs

Isaiah Crowell 10.26.2013
Alabama A&M defensive back Derrick Harris stops Alabama State running back Isaiah Crowell in the second quarter of the 72nd State Farm Magic City Classic at Legion Field in Birmingham, Ala., Saturday, Oct. 26, 2013. (Mark Almond/

on November 29, 2013 at 10:21 AM, updated November 29, 2013 at 11:05 AM

Following Alabama State's 41-28 win against Stillman College in the 90th Annual Turkey Day Classic Thursday, Hornets' coach Reggie Barlow said junior running back Isaiah Crowell would not return to Montgomery for his season and enter the 2014 NFL Draft.

Crowell, listed at 5-foot-11, 190 pounds, was a five-star recruit out of Columbus, Ga.'s Carver High School and earned SEC Freshman of the Year while at Georgia in 2011.

He left Athens after being dismissed from the team, following an arrest on a pair of felony weapons charges which were later dropped.

In 2012, he rushed for 842 yards and a Southwestern Athletic Conference-best 15 touchdowns and was named league Newcomer of the Year. He finished his junior season with 1,126 yards rushing, second in the SWAC, and 15 scores.

He rushed for only 37 yards on seven carries and sat the final three quarters with a nagging ankle injury against Stillman.

Check out an early look at how several outlets, which cover the draft, rate Crowell among this year's pack of draft-eligible running backs.

-Rated Crowell 11th among 15 running backs. He's the only FCS back listed and is ranked ahead of Ohio State's Carlos Hyde, Oklahoma's Damien Williams, Western Kentucky's Antonio Andrews and LSU's Alfred Blue as of Oct. 26th.

-Ranks Crowell No. 24 of among 34 draft-eligible running backs.

-Has Crowell ranked 167th overall and No., 13 among running backs. Projects him as a fifth-round pick.

-Sees Crowell as the 23rd best available running back and projects he'll run a 4.49 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine. Sees him as a fifth to seventh round selection. Of note, the Site has Crowell one spot of ahead of embattled former Auburn standout Michael Dyer, now at Louisville.

-Scout had Crowell ranked as its No. 8 draft-eligible running back prior to the start of the season.

Man Dates with Alan: Special Guest Blog

skip guest 101
[This is a guest blog written by my pal Skip. We go back almost a decade, ever since his lovely, long-suffering wife Sherri brought him to one of my parties. Since then, he’s become a friend in his own right, and a cherished one at that. In the following post, he describes the evolution of our friendship, along with some keen social observations about the dynamics of a gay male/straight male relationship. For instance, I didn’t even realize there was an extra-seat clause when straight guys go to the movies. Read and learn.]

Man Dates with Alan

By Skip Montross

I go to the movies a lot, usually with one of my closest friends. He happens to be gay. I happen to be a straight, doughy, middle-aged, married stay-at-home dad. My wife calls them my “Man-Dates.” Often times when I tell people this, as I’m wont to do while recalling a humorous story from one of our outings, they seem slightly taken aback. As if the thought of it is foreign to them. A gay man and a straight man seeing a movie together. It’s typically a widening of the eyes or a quiet “huh.” A barely-noticeable gesture that tells you they find the thought somehow weird. Though it shouldn’t, this always manages to surprise me. Each time I’m reminded of the fact that what is perfectly normal to me is still viewed as, dare I say, queer to some folks. In fairness though, there was a time where it was new to me too. And I’d wager for Alan as well.

I’m not entirely sure what the first film Alan and I went to see together was. What I do remember was how funny it was when we went to take our seats. Alan didn’t know at the time, nor did I really, that I had become a practitioner of Straight-Guy Movie Etiquette. Something ingrained through years upon years of seeing films with other straight guy friends. When Alan sat I realized that my first inclination was to leave an empty seat between us. As I reflected on this later on I would come to understand a practice that straight men might refer to as the “Homophobia Seat.” You see, in the life of most straight men there are few moments as uncomfortable as sitting right next to another dude in a theater where additional space is available. If it’s a full crowd, of course we’re fine filling all available seats in a row. But when the theater is wide open the threat of incidental elbow contact is too much. Hence the open seat reserved for our mutual discomfort.

As I took my seat next to Alan I vaguely recall explaining the concept to him. It’s one of those things. The little minutiae ~ slight but well-defined differences in culture. Like the first time I went to the bathroom at Alan’s home and realized that when two men live together no one worries about the seat being up. I mean, how cool is that? For what it’s worth, even when it’s an open theater with plenty of space we still sit side by side like Siskel and Ebert. We’re probably more like those two old guys from the Muppet Show if I’m being perfectly honest.

Sometimes it’s a packed house. On more than one occasion we’ve gone to a midnight showing of a new blockbuster, the kind of film that has a line around the lobby. One such night happened last year. I had gone into Alan’s to pick him up for the film. Pretty sure it was the sequel to “Thor.” He was sitting at his dining room table in front of his overpriced MacBook. [Editor’s note: it’s a MacBook Air, thank you, also known as the prettiest girl in the room.] A tab was open to Fandango. He was insistent that we buy our tickets ahead of time. As it was a late Thursday night in the deep cold of a New York November I managed to convince him that it wouldn’t be necessary. There would be plenty of seats. I was wrong. So very wrong.

As we approached the pasty 17-year-old kid who would rip our tickets I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. It was a line of people that looked as if it were 1000 deep. It began about 10 feet to the kid’s right and extended down the hall, around the corner and doubling back again. By my estimation the man up front had probably been waiting a couple hours at best. He eyeballed me. He was big enough to be scary. I don’t believe Alan noticed him. Or the giant line behind him. The ticket boy looked at us and said something I’ll never forget: “I’m just about to let them in. I’m not going to make you wait in line. Go ahead in.” Alan began to walk to the theater and for a brief moment, I’m not afraid to admit, I panicked a little bit. I didn’t know what to say so I started to follow Alan. As I did the line began to open and follow us into the theater. I’ll never forget what I heard the man behind me say as he followed. You see, to him, he had just waited two-plus hours and here we were just cutting the entire goddamned line!

I heard him say, “These two motherfuckers right here better not take my fucking seat I swear to God.” Sometimes at night I wake up in a cold sweat thinking about this man and the utter rage he must have felt inside watching us walk in front of him. But Alan just kept walking. Blissfully ignorant of the fact that rage incarnate was marching 10 feet behind us. Of course as we entered the theater Alan started zeroing in on the best seats in the house. Why not? No one was in front of us to stop us. He went right towards them. I had no idea what to do. With no other valid option I just made a bee-line over to the shitty seats in that weird side row and said, “Hey, let’s sit here!” I was emphatic but Alan was utterly confused. He looked at me like I had confessed that I enjoy backrubs from goats.

“What?!”  He replied incredulously.

“Dude these are great seats…” I attempted.

“Uh no… they’re not.  What are you talking about?” he inquired.

“Dude. Just sit over here man. Please. Dude. Please.” I begged.

He finally acquiesced but until a few weeks ago had no idea why.  I couldn’t explain it to him then.  We were surrounded on every side by people who wanted to kill us.  To him it was just a weird night where I inexplicably had horrible taste in seats. But to me that will always be the night where we were villains who almost incited a hate mob. We would laugh at it later when I explained what really happened. A lot, in fact.

And that’s part of the reason why I dig seeing movies with Alan.

SUBSIDY SCAM!!! Again, FG Arraigns Farouk Lawan Over $620,000 Scam

Farouk Lawan
Former chairman of the House of Representative Committee Monitoring Fuel Subsidy, Farouk Lawan, was again arraigned before a Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court at Lugbe, Abuja. Faruk was arraigned on a three-count charge of obtaining money from the chairman of Zenon Petroleum and Gas, Femi Otedola, sometimes in April, 2012.

The accused, who was docked for obtaining the sum of $500,000 as inducement from Otedola to remove the name of his company from those indicted in the subsidy scam pleaded not guilty to the three-count charge.

Prosecuting counsel, Adeboyega Awomolo, told Justice A.O. Otaluka that he was withdrawing the charges against the second accused person, Emmanuel Emenalo and is ready to arraign Faruk Lawan for the offence. Justice Otaluka consequently dropped the charges against Emenalo and ordered the prosecution to retain his international passport and other travel documents.

Defence counsel, Ricky Tarfa, applied for bail on liberal grounds for Lawan. Ruling on the bail application, Justice Otaluka granted Lawan bail in the sum of N10million and sureties in like sum. The judge ordered that Farouk’s international passport and all travel documents must be deposited before the court registrar, while the sureties must be property owners in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja and must all be a level 14 officers in the employment of the Federal Government.

The trial judge further ordered that the accused should seek the permission of the court before travelling out of Nigeria. Justice Otaluka also ordered that Lawan be remanded in prison custody until all the bail conditions are met, and consequently adjourned the case till April 15 and 16, for the trial to begin.

Learn More About:

Schoharie, New York

Don't let this happen to you!
Don't Let this happen to you!

Update, 2014:

We are in the process of planning our 2014 summer field season for the Schoharie Valley field school. Registration for the field school begins on March 28th. Interested students should email Sean Rafferty to get their name on a waiting list. We are limited to approximately 20 students a season, and the list fills up fast, so get your name in soon! Once advanced registration begins, we will be in touch with studetns on the waiting list with permission numbers and course information. General information on the course is available below.

Sean M. Rafferty
Anthropology Department
University at Albany, SUNY

Course Description:

The archaeological field school is an eight week program designed to teach students the basics of archaeological field work, laboratory processing, and artifact analysis. Students will spend most of their time in the field; there will be a two week classroom session at the beginning of the program, where basic archaeological concepts will be discussed. In addition to field and classroom work students will also have scheduled lab sessions; days with inclement weather will also be spend in the lab.

The field school will be conducted at the Pethick site, a prehistoric Native American site that dates to approximately between 1,500 B.C. and AD 1500. Previous excavations at this site have uncovered numerous stone and ceramic artifacts, as well as the remains of ancient fire hearths, storage pits and house outlines. Excavations at the Pethick site are a copperative endeavor between the Department of Anthropology and the New York State Museum.

There are no required texts for the course. Excavation equipment will be provided. Work gloves and sturdy shoes or boots are highly recommended. Sun block, insect repellant, long-pants, and water are also recommended. Students are responsible for bringing their own lunch as it will be difficult to leave the site for meals.

This course is intended for students planning a career in archaeology; however, students who are not planning on future archaeological work will also find the course a rewarding experience, and are encouraged to attend. Successful completion of the course will allow students to seek employment at private or public contract archaeology firms throughout the United States.

Electric Houseboats - use the wind and solar to power or propel small boats

by Jungle Jim

Houseboat roofs are ideal for solar panels

Houseboat roofs are ideal for solar panels

Houseboat roofs are ideal for solar panels
Houseboat Power - small electric trolling motors

I want to build an electric houseboat and use the wind and solar to power or propel small boats around lakes and rivers.

I would like to one day (4 to 5 years from now) build my own houseboat to live extended time on, vacation on, use to travel extended waterways (rivers and lakes).

I am wanting to build one 8'6" in beam and 24' in length.
My idea is to have the living, sleeping, cooking area, and helm right in the middle of the hull and it to be 12 feet long.

The roof of this section would have 4 small skylights, and the rest of the area would be primarily solar panels and any antennaes, satellite dish I might need.

The front 6 feet of the boat would be an open sitting area. The rear six feet would be roofed (same profile as the living area's roof but dropped 6 inches). It would also have solar panels.

I would want to power it by large heavy thrust trolling motors. They would be the kind that are sold to attach to outboard motors, but, of course they would be attached with my own design. I envision four in the stern that steer together with a total thrust of 320 lbs.

Bass Pro sells tandem ones with 160 lbs. thrust from 24 volts. I would also want single ones (80 lbs.) on the starboard and port sides near the front of my boat at 90 degrees to the hull to help my turning radius when needed.

In my mind I would like to have one located in the front of the boat for an 80 lb. reverse thruster. Total of 7 Minn Kota trolling motors. Hull design would be simple barge type with tons of foam floatation and a strong epoxy hull.

Could probably build that cheaper than buying aluminum pontoons. Interior would be simple, but not cheaply built. Probably at first not have an electric refrigerator, but would leave design open for adding one later.

I would also like to have some type of solar water heater for showers, washing dishes, etc. Would love to hear about good plans to consider.

Would love to attend a boat building school someday before I start my own build. I would start by building some simple boats to get my feet wet. Will try to make a drawing and post those later.

Just my thought, Jungle Jim, Texas.

Well Jungle Jim, I see that you have big plans and lots of ideas to get this houseboat project underway. I always say that everything is possible and that you should get your feet wet (so to speak).

You will want to look at hull size, displacement, power requirements, battery needs, and solar capacity to just name a few.

Like you said, do your research and you might start with buying a used trailerable houseboat, and convert it to solar power and propulsion.

You may want to read up on our wind and solar houseboat information page to get a good start. Do keep us updated with pictures when you get up and running, IAN.

Lastly, hopefully some of our readers and visitors will share and post comments about their solar houseboat experiences.

Dairy Products Not Good For Bone Health

According to a new study published in Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, dairy intake and calcium do not prevent stress fractures. The study comprised adolescent girls followed for seven years. Their diets, physical activity, and stress fractures were tracked, and the results indicated that the girls consuming the most dairy products and calcium had not only no added protection, but among the most active girls, who got the most calcium in their diets (coming mostly from dairy products), had more than double the risk of a stress fracture, compared with those getting less calcium.

Please visit Dairy Products Do Not Promote Bone Health

Cows produce milk for the same reason humans do: for their babies. Cow's milk is designed for a calf, who grows several hundred pounds in less than a year. The dairy industry enslaves dairy cows, steals their babies, steals their milk, and finally slaughters them when their milk production decreases and are too worn out from giving milk and having babies. How can this be healthy for our bodies, our minds and our souls? Many plant-based foods such as collard greens and kale are loaded with calcium, as well as plant-based milks (soy, almond, rice, etc.) Dairy is certainly not needed at all in a human diet.

A Study of: Genesis 15:6, Matthew 9:2, Mark 2:5, 9, and Luke 5:20, 23, 7:48

By Frank and Mary Hoffman - 2 Oct 2010

Dear Bob:

Thank you for encouraging comments about our web site and for you comments on the essay.

We believe that a better translation of Hebrews 9:22 is:

22 And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. NAS

And we believe that the context of the essay and the grammar of the Greek (one may almost say) requires that we leave room for God's grace, and as you point out, God's grace was still at work in the once and for all time shedding of the blood of Jesus.

In fact, the whole act of giving us a Savior was an act of grace.

In the Love of the Lord,

Frank and Mary

Book Description

Textual Reasonings: Jewish Philosophy and Text Study at the End of the Twentieth Century (Radical Traditions (Paperback))

"Textual reasoning" is the name that a group of contemporary Jewish thinkers has given to its overlapping practices of Jewish philosophy and theology. This volume represents the most public expression to date of the shared work, over a period of twelve years, of this society of "textual reasoners." / Although the movement of textual reasoning is diverse and multiform, it is characterized at bottom by the pursuit of the claim that there are significant affinities between Jewish forms of reading and reasoning and postmodern thought. These affinities are presently being pursued by scholars throughout Jewish studies, in fields such as the Bible, Talmud, Midrash, medieval philosophy, Kabbalah, and the Jewish phenomenology of Rosenzweig and Levinas, among others. As the essays in this book amply convey, their work has stimulated a lively and creative reengagement with the philosophical dimensions of Jewish texts and, even more, with the textual dimensions of Jewish reasoning. In large part, this new energy has come from conceiving of the postmodern as a place where some of the most distinctive features of Jewish reasoning can be elucidated as well as challenged. / A fine addition to the Radical Traditions series, Textual Reasonings provides a superb review of contemporary Jewish thought.

Book Description

Court Culture and Literature in Early China (Variorum Collected Studies Series)

The studies brought together here focus upon the literary and cultural activity of the Chinese court during the Han and early medieval period. The first section concerns court literature in the Former Han and deals with the role of literature, especially poetry, at both the imperial and princely courts, including one study of the writings attributed to an imperial concubine, who used poetry to express her resentment at falling from the emperor s favour. The next section looks at a leading court writer of the Late Western Han dynasty, Yang Xiong, while the third part deals with the leading poetic genre of this period, the fu or rhapsody. These papers examine major themes such as praise, travel, dating and authenticity, and problems of translation. The volume concludes with two articles on food culture in early and medieval China.
