The answer, of course, is neither. Jesus Christ is neither god nor demigod, neither superstar nor superhero.
Jesus does not belong to a polytheistic pantheon. He is not one deity among many. He is not the Son of God in the way Thor is the son of Odin or Athena the daughter of Zeus. The mythological divinity of Jesus was ruled out by the Council of Nicaea, which confessed him "the Son of God, the only-begotten begotten from the Father, that is from the substance of the Father, God from God, light from light, true God from true God, begotten not made, with the Father, through whom all things came to be." As eternal Son, Christ perfectly possesses the divine nature of the Father who generated him. His deity is derived yet identical in glory and essence. All attributes of his Father are properly predicated of him, except Fatherhood. The upper-case is critical: we confess Jesus God, not a god. The Church's doctrine of the Holy Trinity may be perplexing, even confounding, but it clearly intends to distinguish the confession of Christ from all expressions of pagan mythology.
So, following the saintly fathers, we all with one voice teach the confession of one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ: the same perfect in divinity and perfect in humanity, the same truly God and truly man, of a rational soul and a body; consubstantial with the Father as regards his divinity, and the same consubstantial with us as regards his humanity; like us in all respects except for sin; begotten before the ages from the Father as regards his divinity, and in the last days the same for us and for our salvation from Mary, the virgin God-bearer as regards his humanity; one and the same Christ, Son, Lord, only-begotten, acknowledged in two natures which undergo no confusion, no change, no division, no separation; at no point was the difference between the natures taken away through the union, but rather the property of both natures is preserved and comes together into a single person and a single subsistent being; he is not parted or divided into two persons, but is one and the same only-begotten Son, God, Word, Lord Jesus Christ, just as the prophets taught from the beginning about him, and as the Lord Jesus Christ himself instructed us, and as the creed of the fathers handed it down to us.
True God and true man. One person, two natures. It's understandable that folks might think of Jesus as a demigod. Didn't Jesus heal the blind, turn water into wine, and still the storm? Who but a god could do such things? One might even point to the nativity narrative in the Gospel of Luke and infer that Jesus was begotten by God in the same way as Perseus was begotten by Zeus, all the while ignoring the rather obvious fact that the Lukan story pointedly avoids any suggestion of sexual union. The docetic turn has always been a temptation, and the best theologians and preachers of the Church have striven against it, even while occasionally succumbing to its mythic lure.
In 1977 a controversial collection of essays by various scholars was published in Great Britain: The Myth of God Incarnate. I was in seminary at the time and well remember the brouhaha that it caused. Oh the heated and entertaining debates we had in the classroom and refectory! Archbishop Michael Ramsey happened to be lecturing Nashotah House at the time, and he eagerly entered the lists. The book prompted an illuminating exchange in the New Blackfriar's Review (subsequently republished in God Matters) between Herbert McCabe and Maurice Wiles, one of the contributors to the volume.
With the idea of God as creator, as source of esse (roughly the being of the thing not just over against a world-without-it, but over against nothing, not even 'logical space') comes the idea of God as relevant to things precisely in virtue of transcendence. This God cannot be a Top Person summoned to fill the gaps in the natural order; this God must be at the heart of every being, acting in every action (whether determined or free), continually sustaining her creation over against nothing as a singer sustains her song over against silence—and that too is only a feeble metaphor, for even silence presupposes being.
Of course Christians, McCabe goes on to explain, do not pretend to understand what it means to confess that the eternal Word has assumed human nature in Jesus, just as they do not "understand what it means to say that God created the world or that the consecrated elements are the body and blood of Christ or indeed that God exists or that I am a sinner. The doctrine of the incarnation, like the doctrines of creation or redemption, is not conveying information, it is pointing to a mystery in Jesus" (p. 58; italics mine).
McCabe then addresses the point upon which we all tend to stumble—namely, the feeling that the doctrine of the Incarnation "ought to tell us what Jesus was like, or what it was like to be Jesus" (p. 58), as if the Chalcedonian Definition is teaching us what the God-Man must have thought and felt. "Of course it does not," writes McCabe; "it does not tell us of his life but of the significance of his life. It authorises us to say, for example, because of the life of Jesus, that our God was whipped and spat upon and that God has experienced total failure and death itself (and, incidentally, not to say, as Frances Young carelessly does, that, in Jesus, God 'bore the pain and the guilt' of evil)" (p. 58).
McCabe provocatively applies his reasoning to the controversial question "Exactly what did the God-Man know and when did he know it?" He acknowledges that extravagant claims about Jesus' knowledge have been made by theologians in the past—if Jesus is divine, how could he not know all about quantum mechanics?—but while these claims may have seemed appropriate to St John of Damascus or St Thomas Aquinas, they are irrelevant to the dogma of the Incarnation. The divine nature cannot be mixed and synthesized with human nature in this way. If they could be, Jesus would be reduced to a mythological deity.
Wiles offers a thoughtful response to McCabe's review, but unfortunately passes over McCabe's assertion that divine nature and human nature must not be understood as competitive, mutually exclusive realities, as if they existed on the same metaphysical plane. Jesus might be God or he might be human, but he cannot be both simultaneously. Against all such either/or construals Chalcedon dogmatically confesses the mystery of the hypostatic union.
Wiles does contest McCabe's claim that the doctrine of the Incarnation does not give us information about the historical Jesus and asks McCabe to explain why he believes that Jesus is divine. In his reply, McCabe acknowledges that Christianity would be disproved if Jesus had never lived or if historical scholarship could demonstrate that Jesus' body had "rotted away in Palestine." But the doctrine itself, he continues, is not vulnerable to this kind of invalidation "because it does not assert historical facts either about the behaviour of Jesus or about his inmost psychology" (p. 69). It is making a different kind of claim.
How then does McCabe justify his belief in the divinity of Jesus?
So long as we are asking historical questions about what Jesus was like, we shall, according to the traditional doctrine of the incarnation, come up with answers to the effect that he was a man; not, therefore, an angel or a 'supernatural visitant', but a human being like ourselves except in not deceiving himself or playing at being superhuman as we do when we sin. But, of course, we do not simply examine Jesus historically to see what he was like; we listen to him, he established communication and friendship with us, and it is this rapport with Jesus that we explore a different dimension of his existence—rather as when we say that the world is created we are considering a different dimension of it from the one we look at as physicists.
The insight that Jesus is uncreated, that he is divine, is available only to those in whom this rapport is established, to those 'who have faith in his name'. That is why the Church alone, the community founded on this rapport, is able to pronounce on the divinity of Jesus, as she has done (I would maintain) implicitly in the New Testament (especially in John) and later more explicitly in the conciliar pronouncements. It would, I think, be absurd for a man to say: 'I'm not a Christian myself, but I do see that Jesus must have been Son of God'.
It is in the contact with the person who is Jesus, in this personal communication between who he is and who I am, that his divinity is revealed in his humanity, not in any way, as it were, [by] clinical, objective examination of him. Any such examination will simply reveal correctly that he is splendidly and vulnerably human.
Here is the answer to the question so often put to us by those outside the Christian faith: "Prove to me that Jesus is divine." We can't. Such "proof," such as it is, is only available to those who have heard the summons of the risen Christ and been baptized into the eucharistic life of the Church. "I do not reflect on the life of Jesus in order 'to check the truth of the doctrine,'" Fr Herbert declares, "but in order to enter into the immense mystery of the love of God" (p. 72).

3 Responses to Jesus of Nazareth—god or demigod?
Breakin' out the comic strip photos! Move over Ed Feser!
> The idea that Jesus, qua Son of God, constructed some special divinely authorized set of propositions such as the Christian creed is as anthropomorphic as the idea that God has a white beard. Whatever we can mean by speaking of God's knowledge, we know that it cannot mean that God is well informed, that he assents to a large number of true statements [sorry Richard Swinburne].
Usually I find myself not entirely agreeing with McCabe, but this is an important point. It's a common mistake (in my view) that isn't limited to out-and-out neo-theists like Swinburne. W.N. Clarke seems to think that there is, in God, a level of intentional being that changes and is directed at the world.
But immaterial beings do not take a look at some foreign object — that is a feature unique to embodied animality. It doesn't make sense outside the context of beings that are spatially limited and have nervous systems. To know is to possess actual intelligible content. Immaterial beings don't have any vector for "inputs", as we do with sensation. There's no way to take a look or intuit anything. They know by identity: they are identical with the intelligible content they know.
The reason that God is omniscient, then, is an extension of the mode of immaterial knowing combined with the fact of his infinite and simple nature. God intelligible and actual. Intelligibility in act is intelligence. God is simple, and so if he is intelligible, he is identical with that intelligibility. He is infinite and so there is no intelligibility left over. Therefore, by knowing himself, God knows all there is to know. Therefore, there is nothing he does not know. What that is like we cannot know. But that God knows all things because he is infinite act follows from divine simplicity (not in spite of it).
This does mean that when we say that God knows contingent fact, we are not saying that God would be different if that contingency did not come about and he knew some other contingency. God doesn't know because he sees what goes on. He doesn't register events in some internal log. God does even not have imminent acts directed at particular things in the world. That's not something he lacks, since the act he does have is utterly unrestricted, all-pervasive, and fully intelligent. And that is the only reason Jesus can have both a human and divine consciousness.
> And that is the only reason Jesus can have both a human and divine consciousness.
Can you expand on this part a bit Thomas? I think I get it, that there's a qualitatively and absolute distinction between Jesus' human and divine consciousness. So there can't be any conflict between the two. You explained the divine consciousness well, but what are we to make of Jesus human consciousness. In what way did it different from anyone else's? How do we apply what you said more explicitly to Jesus' ignorance of the hour?

In this project, we systematically test hypothesized patterns of exploitation, collapse, international markets, and bilateral trade agreements using paired comparative analysis of fisheries in two global databases (RAM Legacy Stock Assessment Database and the FAO Landings Database). We then add detail and context to these patterns using a case-study in North western Mexico. Our results will provide empirical evidence connecting globalized trade to fisheries status, will generate indicators for positive and negative effects of international trade and with that will help managers design fisheries management tools that account for ecological and economic factors in the context of globalized trade.

Stepping up on this soap-box we fondly call Teru Talk: "Ahem".
I say, "Everything is Recyclable with the Right Tools!"
We've blown right past the idea that separating and recovering the papers, bottles, and cans is what constitutes "recycling". Old hat; yesterday's magic, but still a necessary part of the broader realm we now recognize as true recycling. Just because we personally do not have a clue how to recycle something doesn't mean it can't be recycled.
Sometimes it is really as simple as picking the cans and bottles out of the trash, setting them aside to be washed and made back into cans and bottles. For other wastes, processing can be as basic as applying the right amount of hot water and pressure. If you then add some enzyme Secret Sauce, anything woody comes apart and turns into sugar soup. Sweet!
In Ancient Times, we learned how to control yeasts to make beer and wine from letting them rip into grains and grapes, pulling out that magic Sugar to ferment. We now know that microbes can tear apart just about anything. Bright folks have figured out how to make that "foundation chemical" ethanol from letting those microscopic machines tear apart anything lying around from food scraps to paper pulp, animal poop to sewer goop.
Napoleon liked his brandy that was made by steaming the ethanol out of wine. We can distill off just about any vapor contained in stuff with careful application of heat, and if we heat stuff enough, even the solids turn to liquids, then to gas. Some of those vapors and gases are made of small molecules, some of really large and complex molecules. We can sift and sort those liquids and gases as they come off the stuff we are converting with that heat, separating everything into the things we want from what before was just a pile of waste.
OK, so some of the crud we toss out isn't that easy to break down into raw materials. In fact, some things almost defy the tear-down and convert-to-goods process. Almost - but then we have some very sophisticated methods to apply these days. We've learned how to rearrange the innards of those microbes so they now can eat really nasty waste and turn it into cool fuels and chemicals. We've also learned to harness lightening and turn things into raw energy-in-a-tube, called plasma, which vaporizes whatever is left and yep, then we can separate the vapors. Try that trick on circuit boards, and out comes plastic fumes and vaporized precious metals. With the right tools, those dead cell phones are the New Gold Mine.
Bright people the world over are busily figuring out how to turn what we still call Waste into raw materials to make the things we want and need. First, find out who is doing what, where and with what tools. Next, track their trials as they test, break, remake, and prove their tools can actually do what they say. So far, that's been our task at Teru Talk. Finally, someone outside of their company has to also agree the tools work as described, with External Validation. Then: ready, set, sell! But just remember: Everything is Recyclable with the Right Tools.
Microbes in landfills make Nasty Gas. Check out Velocys' plans to turn that landfill gas straight into liquid fuel, right at the landfill. Now, that's using the right tools for the Recycling job!

A GRAPH TO DEBUNK AGW DAVID ROSE DAVID WHITEHOUSE HEADLINE STORY REPLY TO ARTICLE
David Rose: Government's climate watchdog launches astonishing attack on the Mail on Sunday... for revealing global warming science is wrong
Sunday, March 31st 2013, 8:09 AM EDT
The official watchdog that advises the Government on greenhouse gas emissions targets has launched an astonishing attack on The Mail on Sunday – for accurately reporting that alarming predictions of global warming are wrong.
We disclosed that although highly influential computer models are still estimating huge rises in world temperatures, there has been no statistically significant increase for more than 16 years.
Despite our revelation earlier this month, backed up by a scientifically researched graph, the Committee on Climate Change still clings to flawed predictions.
Leading the attack is committee member Sir Brian Hoskins, who is also director of the Grantham Institute for Climate Change at Imperial College, London. In a blog on the Committee on Climate Change's website, Sir Brian insisted: 'The scientific basis for significant long-term climate risks remains robust, despite the points raised . . . Early and deep cuts in emissions are still required.'
He also claimed our report 'misunderstood' the value of computer models. Yet in an interview three years ago, Sir Brian conceded that when he started out as a climate scientist, the models were 'pretty lousy, and they're still pretty lousy, really'.
Our graph earlier this month was reproduced from a version first drawn by Dr Ed Hawkins, of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science. Last week it was reprinted as part of a four-page report in The Economist.
The accuracy of computer forecasts is vital because they influence politicians and their key environmental advisers on how urgently to act on climate change – and how many billions of pounds they take from the taxpayer in 'green' levies.
The Committee on Climate Change claims such forecasts must be right because world temperatures have previously matched computer models' 'outputs' for most of the past 60 years. Yet as this newspaper pointed out, for almost all of that 60-year period the models were not making predictions – because they did not yet exist.
Instead, the models had recently been making 'hindcasts' – backward projections based on climate simulations and tailored to actual temperatures. The evidence shows the models collapse when they try to forecast the future.
Author Andrew Montford, who runs the widely read Bishop Hill climate blog, leapt to The Mail on Sunday's defence and said Sir Brian's reliance on 'hindcasts' was 'crazy, crazy stuff'.
David Whitehouse, of the Global Warming Policy Foundation, said the graph showed models were so unreliable that 'if this kind of data were from a drugs trial it would have been stopped long ago'.
And last week, The Economist repeated our claims that many scientists now believe that previous estimates of 'climate sensitivity' – how much the world will warm each time the level of carbon dioxide doubles – are far too high.
In a key 2007 report, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change suggested this was most likely to be about 3C, with 4.5C considered 'likely'. However, recent research suggests the true figure is much lower – between 1.5C and 2C – giving the world many more decades to avoid disaster through effective new technologies.
The Committee on Climate Change, established by the 2008 Climate Change Act, advises the Government on setting 'carbon budgets' and CO2 emissions cuts. It is chaired by Lord Deben, who also heads Veolia Water UK, which connects windfarms to the National Grid.

Doctor Who Club of Australia » Products Page » Audio » Big Finish Third Doctor Adventures
The Third Doctor Adventures Volume 4
Two Third Doctor Audio Adventures in a 5CD boxset, with Katy Manning as Jo and Tim Treloar's special rendition of the Doctor, featuring Rufus Hound (Doctor Who: The Woman Who Lived), Carolyn Pickles (Broadchurch) and Nicholas Briggs as the Cybermen.
The Rise of the New Humans, alien technology in a remote hospital leads the Doctor to suspect the interference of an old Time Lord rival, while the Tyrants of Logic sees the Doctor and Jo arrive at an abandoned mining colony that holds the key to the resurgence of the Cyber Empire… Aside from a return appearance of the Meddling Monk, this set boasts the Third Doctor encountering the Cybermen – something never seen on screen – in a script from acclaimed Cyberscribe Marc Platt (Spare Parts, The Silver Turk). According to Katy Manning, Treloar's Third Doctor improves with every release, so by now his ability to capture the soul of Pertwee's performance is absolutely extraordinary.
Two Third Doctor adventures in a 5CD boxset, with Katy Manning as Jo Grant and Tim Treloar as Big Finish's own Third Doctor, featuring John Levene as Sergeant Benton, Jon Culshaw as the Brigadier and Daisy Ashford as Liz Shaw.
A visit from the Doctor and Jo spells infernal trouble for Professor Liz Shaw in Primord, while The Scream of Ghosts sees the Doctor and Benton uncover the alarming connections between a new communications technology and the terrifying sounds emanating from the nearby countryside… Big Finish have now gained the confidence to finally recreate the 'UNIT family' in a full-cast drama. Stepping into the beloved characters of Liz and the Brig isn't to be taken lightly, but the canny casting of the late Caroline John's daughter as Liz and a gifted mimic and lifelong Doctor Who fan as the Brig should make this a loving tribute to an era that is sadly lacking in surviving original actors. The characters should be well served not only by the cast, but also by acclaimed audio authors John Dorney (credit here) and Guy Adams (The Transcendence of Ephros).


Print advertising, billboard advertising and word-of-mouth marketing are all viable methods for promoting your product, service or company. However, website advertising has recently become popular because it can be cheaper and more effective than other types of advertising. If you have your own website, you can customize your advertising in any way you want, targeting specific users and making the most out of your marketing. Whether you plan to devote your entire website to advertising or simply create a banner advertisement for your site, there are several solutions to help you achieve your goal.
Brainstorm your advertising strategy. Determine what visual and textual elements would be most effective for promoting your product, service, or organization online. Make sure you know your target customers as this will help you craft your advertisement to be the most appealing. Use a pen and paper to take notes during this planning stage.
Install a web design application on your computer. There are several different applications from which to choose. If you are inexperienced with HTML and other scripting languages, you can use a WYSIWYG editor ("What You See Is What You Get"), which allows you to design your website layout and content without having to use any code. Popular WYSIWYG editors include Apple iWeb and Adobe Dreamweaver, while more advanced web design applications include Evrsoft First Page and UltraEdit.

Releasement and Seduction: Heidegger and Baudrillard on the Preservation of Illusion in the Epoch of Obscenity
Marc Oliver D. Pasco, Ateneo de Manila UniversityFollow
This work interfaces the philosophies of Jean Baudrillard and Martin Heidegger. It hopes to contribute to both Heideggerian and Baudrillardian scholarship by employing Baudrillardian ideas in more effectively describing the historical happening of the so-called withdrawal of Being from man, which preoccupied much of Heidegger's body of work. The work argues that by re-visiting an earlier idea of Baudrillard, which he termed as seduction, one finds a possible way of navigating the obscenity of the current epoch of Being. Akin to Heidegger's idea of Gelassenheit or releasement, Baudrillard's concept of seduction invites one to allow the real to once again appear, no longer by way of subjective representation, but to let it appear in its very disappearance in hyperreality.

Full Court Press for The Historic Trusts – Foreign Courts Doing Business Here! Fraud!
The assets of the world are largely owned by Historic Trusts— vast holdings of actual assets including gold, silver, platinum, rhodium, gems, art, land, government bonds, corporate stock and much, much more.
Other Historic Trusts are family trusts resulting from mining or industrial operations and investments, still others are Treaty Trusts that accrue to specific nations as "national trusts" or for specific purposes such as war reparations or infrastructure investments. Still others result from court settlements and land trust investments. Some of the largest trusts are old Commonwealth Trusts created in the 1600's by wealthy trading companies; the oldest of these Historic Trusts dates to 435 A.D.
And there are, of course, a dizzying array of Church Trusts, which are "historic" but which are not traditionally included as Historic Trusts in the sense discussed here.
These Historic and Church Trusts are the true repositories of wealth and actual assets in the world, but via an insidious process akin to the identity theft that Americans have suffered, many of these Historic Trusts have been effectively stolen by banks entrusted with their safe-keeping.
A variety of specious methods have been used by the guilty commercial banks to attach assets which they very well know are not abandoned and not from questionable sources–two of their favorite excuses for confiscating and holding private property for bank profits are "claims of abandonment" and claims of money laundering or criminal provenance.
You are wealthy and you come from California? You MUST be a pot grower…. You are Hispanic and wealthy? You MUST be involved somehow in South American drug trafficking…. You are wealthy and live in Chicago and you are an Italian Jew? You MUST be involved in mafia activities, money laundering, and racketeering…. You made a deposit of two hundred million dollars worth of gold and silver and you come from a Eastern European country? You MUST be in the Russian or former Eastern Block "Mafia"…..and so on.
All the bank has to do is make the specious, self-interested claim, and their collusion partners in the corporate government (who also stand to benefit from the confiscation of private assets) jump on the bandwagon.
You are from the Philippines and you make a large deposit in an American bank and simply leave it there on deposit for thirty years? Well, you can't possibly be the same person thirty years later when you walk back through their door and innocently ask to withdraw a little of your money on deposit—- can you? It's "suspicious" that you haven't been back in all those years…..
But if you have a couple trillion dollars in assets, more than you could ever use or need as a housewife in the Philippines, and this is what you consider a rather minor account—– why wouldn't you trust an American bank to keep your deposit?
Perhaps the only answer to that is that other banks are historically even worse and less trustworthy.
In 1928 the Nationalist Chinese government made a very large gold deposit with the New York Federal Reserve Bank. The New York Fed was supposed to make regular interest payments, but the war didn't go well for the Nationalist Chinese and the New York Fed just conveniently "forgot" about its obligations for 83 years and when the Chinese government of today asked about all the interest owed on that deposit, the New York Fed refused to pay anything at all and refused to return the gold to the Chinese.
That led to Neil Keenan filing suit against the New York Federal Reserve Bank in 2011 in behalf of the Chinese to recover their assets.
Now, the gold belonged to the Chinese people. Everyone knows that. The Nationalist Chinese Government did not survive to reclaim the assets they left with the New York Federal Reserve Bank in 1928. So the NY Fed used the obvious specious self-interested excuse that the depositors were dead and the assets "abandoned" and tried to cheat the Chinese people out of their assets.
Any honest man hearing all this about how the banks have cheated and defrauded depositors—- very large depositors especially — should feel both offended and distrustful of such banks, but it gets even worse.
When the United States of America, Inc. went bankrupt in 1933, FDR used the occasion to outright steal from average Americans and confiscated privately held gold throughout the country. This gold was held as "surety" for the bankruptcy proceedings and after the bankruptcy settled in 1999, it was released. The Secondary Creditors, the World Bank and IBRD, pretended not to know who the gold belonged to, that it was "abandoned", and so, they came in and made away with $387 billion in gold, that belonged to our grandparents and parents and to us, via the convenient old "claim on abandonment" schtick.
Of course, they knew who the gold actually belonged to and, just as conveniently, nobody notified any of us, did they? There was no offer to return the gold to the actual unincorporated government of the American states and people, the actual owners— some of whom, like my Mother, were still living at the time.
These vicious criminals have done things like this to millions of innocent people and to whole nations, and we have sat here and funded their wars and protected their rumps and chewed our cuds and unwittingly allowed them to make false claims against us, our labor, our names, our copyrights, our land, and everything else in sight.
When does all this end, America? When do you wake up and sound the alarm bells? You are brave, honest and generous people— how can you tolerate dishonest banks and corrupt politicians ruining your lives? Stealing you blind? Even making you live in fear in your own country?
Right now, the same rotten politicians in Congress are attempting to claim that your ESTATE is "abandoned" and their Secondary Creditors, international banks, are attempting to seize your assets—- your copyrights, your labor, your land, your homes, your bodies, even your souls.
Yes, they create bonds off your Baptismal Certificates, too.
Anything that is a "certificate" is a receipt in a commercial transaction of some kind.
Go back to the Church where you were baptized and ask to see the record of it.
They will show you a "registry"—-a big book where the details are noted, but the actual paperwork was sent away in every case. You or your parents received a "baptismal certificate" for your soul, just like you got a "birth certificate" for your body.
Even your soul was sold, "monetized", and traded upon by these unholy verminous unspeakable cads.
What does it take before you get mad enough to do something about all this, America? When do you start buttonholing unfaithful or ignorant clergymen? When do you start walking into "legislative" offices and confronting those responsible for this?
Most of the money in the Historic Trusts—quadrillions of dollars of actual assets— have been set aside by the owners for humanitarian aid. Homes, schools, hospitals, hospices, libraries, public gardens, transportation systems, trails and trains, and new bridges and medical and patient care services, help for veterans, mental health and addiction services, dental and veterinary clinics and programs, art, music, and science back in public schools, new technology—- you name it. The Historic Trusts are ready and able to provide a better world and they will do it voluntarily for everyone.
There's just one little problem. The crooked, rotten, self-interested, greedy banks and the equally crooked, rotten, self-interested, greedy politicians, who think they have some god-given right to ride on your backs and tell lies about you from here to next New Year, a right to steal your bank deposits and retirement pensions, a right to monetize your very souls, and a right to tell you when to sit down and when to get up, too.
Get up off your duffs, America.
One little old granny in Big Lake, Alaska, can't cut it alone. You've been defrauded out of trillions of dollars and if you don't grab hold and stand up for yourselves and object to this corruption like a pack of wolves on the hunt, your children will pay the price of this scandalous criminality for many, many generations to come.
We've formed a Historic Trust Association to gather together all of the Trustees and Beneficiaries who have been defrauded by these dishonest bankers. When enough people reclaim their proper political status and reclaim their ESTATES and stand behind the cause of the Historic Trusts, you will start to see an end to the Bad Old Days we've been living through.
So what are you waiting for? An engraved invitation?

Stand-replacement prescribed fire has been recommended to regenerate stands of table mountain pine (Pinus pungens Lamb.) in the Southern Appalachian Mountains because the species has serotinous cones and is shade intolerant. A 350 ha prescribed fire in northeast Georgia provided an opportunity to observe overstory mortality and regeneration of table mountain pine at various levels of fire intensity. Fire intensity for each of 60 study plots was classified by discriminant function analysis. Fires of low and medium-low intensity gave rise to abundant regeneration but may not have killed enough of the overstory to prevent shading. High-intensity fires killed almost all overstory trees but may have destroyed some of the seeds. Fires of medium-high intensity may have been the best choice; they killed overstory trees and allowed abundant regeneration. The forest floor remained thick after fires of all intensities, but roots of pine seedlings penetrated duff layers up to 7.5 cm thick to reach the mineral soil. In this study area, fire intensity levels did not have to reach extreme levels in order to successfully regenerate table mountain pine.

Do you love brownies as much as I do?? Unless you're someone who doesn't like chocolate (which just makes no sense to me), you'll agree that brownies are one of life's simple pleasures. So even though I already have several brownie recipes, I figured More is More!!!
I made these brownies for my friend Luis. He went WAY far out of his way for me, and this was just a little something to show my appreciation. It was really no trouble, and I already had all the ingredients on hand. It's amazing how something as simple as a little pan of homemade brownies can be so appreciated. I found this recipe on Epicurious.com and it's now one of my go to brownie recipes. So delicious and fudgy! Luis enjoyed them and I'm sure you will too! My favorite way to enjoy them is with a nice cold glass of milk. For a special occasion, serve them warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup or ganache. Just doesn't get any better!
Line the bottom and sides of an 8" square baking pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides.
Combine the butter, sugar, cocoa, and salt in a medium heatproof bowl and set the bowl in a wide skillet of barely simmering water. Stir from time to time until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and hot enough that you want to remove your finger fairly quickly after dipping it in to test. Remove the bowl from the skillet and set aside briefly until the mixture is only warm, not hot. Stir in the vanilla with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously after each one. When the batter looks thick, shiny, and well blended, add the flour and stir until you cannot see it any longer, then beat vigorously for 40 strokes with the wooden spoon or a rubber spatula. Stir in nuts, if using. Spread evenly in the lined pan. Bake until a toothpick plunged into the center emerges slightly moist with batter, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely on a rack. Lift up the ends of the parchment or foil liner, and transfer the brownies to a cutting board. Cut into 9 or 16 squares.
To be honest, I'm not sure what the purpose is of heating everything over simmering water instead of just melting the butter in a microwave and then stirring it into the other ingredients. I'll have to give it a try next time and see how they turn out.
Instead of adding nuts, I chose to sprinkle a handful or two of semisweet chocolate chips over the batter just before baking. Do whichever you like! Or do both! More is more!
For perfectly clean knife cuts, chill the entire batch before cutting with a very sharp knife.


WASHINGTON -- The Senate approved broad legislation Tuesday to give state and local governments new weapons to stop terrorists intent on destruction within U.S. borders.
But more than five years after the Sept. 11 attacks, the bill still faces considerable hurdles. Differences remain with legislation the House passed in January, and the White House threatened a veto over a provision to give airport screeners limited bargaining rights.
Tuesday�s Senate vote was 60-38.
The new Democratic majority made the legislation one of its most urgent tasks, saying it was long past time to carry out the July 2004 recommendations of the bipartisan 9/11 commission formed after the 2001 attacks.
�This bill is a direct response to the appeals of the 9/11 Commission and the 9/11 families to take constructive action,� said Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., co-sponsor of the measure.
The bill approves $3.1 billion in each of the next three years for first-responder grants to the states while adjusting the formula on how the money is divided among high-risk states and states less vulnerable to terrorist attacks. Of that, $1.3 billion is specified for high-risk urban areas.
It creates a new emergency communications grant program, funded at $3.3 billion over five years, requires bags checked on planes to be screened with the same aggressiveness as carryon bags and outlines improvements for rail and transit security.
The House bill, passed in the first week of the new Congress, also requires, within five years, 100 percent radiation scanning of all cargo ship containers loaded at foreign ports and inspection of all cargo on passenger planes within three years.
An amendment to the Senate bill, offered by Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., directs the Department of Homeland Security to come up with a plan, with yearly benchmarks, that leads to 100 percent scanning of cargo containers entering U.S. ports.
The Senate bill additionally moves to block potential terrorists from entering the country by improving reporting of lost or stolen passports and requiring countries to provide information about visitors who could pose a threat to the United States.
The two bills also differ on how security grants are distributed among the states. The House bill would favor high-risk states such as New York and California, while the Senate, where small-state lawmakers have more sway, would divide the money more evenly.
Sen. Craig Thomas, R-Wyo., said his state gets only $10 million out of $3 billion in annual grants. �Some people think all we have is cows and sheep,� he said, stressing that Wyoming also has an important energy base that could be targeted by terrorists.
But Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., who opposes the legislation, said, �The money should go to the threat� -- such as New York City and Washington D.C., with their subways, commercial landmarks and political centers -- even though that would mean less money for his state.
The House version is more in line with the 9/11 commission�s final report, which concluded that �homeland security assistance should be based strictly on an assessment of risks and vulnerabilities,� adding, �Congress should not use this money as a pork barrel.� The House bill does not specify a dollar amount for federal grants to states or for the emergency communications program.
Both bills provide the 45,000 airport screeners, whose jobs were federalized when the Homeland Security Department was created after Sept. 11, with collective bargaining rights, with the rights in the House bill somewhat stronger. That sparked the veto threat from the White House, which said the Department of Homeland Security must have no impediments to the flexibility it needs to move workers around in an emergency.
The administration has also voiced objections to House language requiring screening of U.S. cargo in foreign ports or inspection of aircraft cargo, citing expense and practicality concerns.
The 9/11 Commission issued 41 recommendations in July 2004 covering tighter domestic security, reforms of intelligence-gathering and congressional oversight and foreign policy adjustments.
The White House and Congress have followed through on some suggestions, including creating a director of national intelligence to oversee the intelligence community and enacting a port security bill.
The Senate bill largely ignores a recommendation concerning its own Homeland Security affairs -- that there be a streamlining of committees with a say over intelligence policy and funding.
On the final day of the two-week debate, the Senate rejected an amendment by Senate Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Joseph Biden, D-Del., that would allow for rerouting trains carrying hazardous materials through urban areas. The Senate also rejected amendments by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., requiring the Homeland Security Department to abide by the same financial transparency laws that other agencies must follow.
The defeat of the Biden amendment came as the House Homeland Security Committee accepted similar rerouting language, introduced by Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., as part of a rail security bill.

Pik Uk inmates receive academic and vocational certificates
Young inmates of Pik Uk Correctional Institution (PUCI) were today (December 9) presented with academic and vocational certificates.
A total of 227 inmates from PUCI sat for various academic and vocational qualifications examinations in the past 12 months. Among the 268 certificates obtained, 88 were merits.
Today, 55 of them were presented with certificates for 103 examination papers. They obtained 38 distinctions and credits, as well as 65 passes in the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination, City & Guilds of London Institute Examinations, London Chamber of Commerce and Industry Examinations; as well as skill recognition offered by the Vocational Training Council and the Fullness Christian Vocational Training Centre.
They achieved good results in Chinese, English, Mathematics, Commerce, Travel and Tourism, Word Processing and Business Communication, computer applications, City and Guilds Vocational Qualifications, Kitchen Assistant Certificate, and Basic Hairstyling Certificate. More encouraging is that PUCI struck this year a passing rate record of 77% in HKCEE over the last decade.
Presenting certificates to the inmates, Legislative Council Member, Mr Cheung Man-kwong, commended the achievements of inmates in finding their road though studying. He encouraged them by saying, "Your road, a road to rehabilitation, will be wider and brighter day by day."
Drawing on his own reading habit, Mr Cheung stressed the importance of reading and called on inmates to make full use of the books provided in the institution's library. He said: "Studying is important, but being a good person is far more important."
He shared with inmates his experience when he was young and told them that they could get back on the right track if they were determined to do so.
He also praised the tutors and correctional staff of PUCI for their efforts in helping inmates in their studies. This was important in leading them back to the right path, Mr Cheung said.
Also attending the presentation ceremony were representatives of community organisations and celebrities as well as senior officers of the department.
Pik Uk Correctional Institution, on Clearwater Bay Road, Sai Kung, is a maximum security institution with a capacity of 385 penal places for male young remands and male young prisoners.
Young offenders under age 21 are provided with half-day compulsory education programmes and half-day vocational training. Guidance and assistance are also in place for adult offenders who participate in studies voluntarily.
Ends/Wednesday, December 9, 2009
Legislative Council Member, Mr Cheung Man-kwong, congratulates an inmate on his outstanding examination result.

Yes, indeed one of the good things about umbrella insurance is that it costs around $100 per annum and an extra million in umbrella insurance will most likely cost you only less than $100 per year.
To determine how many millions in umbrella insurance to purchase, you need to assess your personal liability risk, and consider a number of very important factors.
Think about how much a severe bodily injury, for instance, will cost the victim of a tort - including medical expenses, lost wages, and other noneconomic losses, such as pain and suffering. In a liability lawsuit, judges usually take all these factors into account when determining the compensation amounts for each case.
The rule with umbrella insurance is "Buy a million more than you think you need!" Cheap as umbrella insurance is, better be safe than sorry. Experienced insurance advisers usually recommend that you buy a million in umbrella insurance if you think you don't need umbrella coverage. If you assess your umbrella coverage needs at $1 million, buy an extra million, if you feel you need $2 million, buy $3 million and so on.
If you feel that you are very suable, you should purchase a minimum of $2 million, and if you are very affluent, don't go for anything less than $5 million (or $10 million if you insurance provide offers that limit).
Your suability is determined by a number of personal factors that need to be taken into account: for example, a person is considered very suable if they have a high current income and assets, or their income is expected to improve if they have good career prospects. Likewise, people owning dogs, or those with hazardous hobbies, such as hunting, run the risk of being sued for negligence.

had the pleasure of capturing the gorgeous wedding of Jackie and Andrew on Saturday night.
The reception was held at Frenchman's Reserve where every detail was exquisitely executed. From the start of the reception, our photo booth was the hit of the night (besides the ceremony, of course!). Jackie and Andrew took fun pictures by themselves as well as with many of their guests.
With our vast array of silly, elegant, and fun props, there was never a shortage of laughter and smiles. Jackie and Andrew used all of the photo booth pictures to create a customized album where guests could write a message next to their picture.
They wanted this album as a way to remember their amazing, fairy tale wedding.
We had such a wonderful time with both of them and all of their guests.

Re-engineering Calibration for Process Spectrometers – This is a report of a multi-company, multi-industry, hydrocarbon processing consortium, established six years ago, to re-evaluate how the calibration process for analyzers could be managed more efficiently. The first focus was optical spectroscopy, an increasingly important source of process chemistry knowledge due to its advantage of speed, sensitivity, and simple safety requirements. As one of very few analyzer technologies that can measure chemistry, spectroscopy has become a workhorse in the chemical, petrochemical, and petroleum industries. But, even as the number of optical systems is continuing to increase, companies have been decreasing the number of employees who are tasked with their management. As a result, a paradigm shift is required for industry to adapt to a higher workload combined with changes in the fitness level and longevity of the technicians responsible for installation, calibration, and maintenance. What if we could put a spectroscopy system in place and have it handle the application and communicate results as soon as it is turned on? Then, if performance does not match legacy standards, the system dials itself in or calls for help. The systematic approach discussed is not constrained by the brand of hardware or by the software vendor and, as such, the approach can be used to manage any new or any in-place system.

Q: How to dump strings in YAML using literal scalar style? I have a big string of formatted data (e.g. JSON) that I want to dump to YAML using Psych in ruby while preserving formatting.
Basically, I want for JSON to appear in YAML using literal style:
---
json: |
  {
    "page": 1,
    "results": [
      "item", "another"
    ],
    "total_pages": 0
  }

However, when I use YAML.dump it doesn't use literal style. I get something like this:
---
json: ! "{\n  \"page\": 1,\n  \"results\": [\n    \"item\", \"another\"\n  ],\n  \"total_pages\":
  0\n}\n"

How can I tell Psych to dump scalars in wanted style?

Solution:
Big thanks to Aaron Patterson for his solution that I'm expanding on here: https://gist.github.com/2023978
Although a bit verbose, that gist is a working way of tagging certain strings in ruby to be output using literal style in YAML.

A: require 'psych'

# Construct an AST
visitor = Psych::Visitors::YAMLTree.new({})
visitor << DATA.read
ast = visitor.tree

# Find all scalars and modify their formatting
ast.grep(Psych::Nodes::Scalar).each do |node|
  node.plain  = false
  node.quoted = true
  node.style  = Psych::Nodes::Scalar::LITERAL
end

begin
  # Call the `yaml` method on the ast to convert to yaml
  puts ast.yaml
rescue
  # The `yaml` method was introduced in later versions, so fall back to
  # constructing a visitor
  Psych::Visitors::Emitter.new($stdout).accept ast
end

__END__
{
  "page": 1,
  "results": [
    "item", "another"
],
  "total_pages": 0
}

The Clarity Validation Kit is designed to perform the Operational Qualification of the Clarity Chromatography Station (version 2.8 or higher) with INT7, INT9, U-PAD, U-PAD2 or Net-PAD A/D converters. An optional Clarity SST Extension is necessary for data evaluation.
The kit is primarily intended for trained service personnel, who regularly perform validations of chromatography systems using Clarity data stations. However it can also be used by experienced users for in-house validations. The operator must be familiar with Clarity datastation operations.
Validator is a precise peak generator device with predefined sets of signal. This device is connected to the A/D Converter instead of the detector.


How to Be a Good* Girl enables young girls to identify gender stereotypes, and inspires them to stand up for themselves and others.
Girls are deeply affected by gender stereotyping.
The effect of gender stereotypes is present from a young age. Being told to act "more masculine" or "more feminine" is an overwhelming message for girls as young as 4. This is the beginning of a vicious cycle that is carried through into adulthood.
As a grown woman, gender stereotypes have influenced the way I perceive the world and myself. This book made me realize that I have committed this act without knowing.
It was wonderful to watch Nikita express her point of view through drawing and writing. How to be a good girl provided a safe and interactive space for her to do this.

American Cancer Society holds "Talk Derby to Me" fundraiser
by: Priscilla Liguori
Posted: May 4, 2018 / 01:36 AM EDT / Updated: May 4, 2018 / 11:13 AM EDT
The American Cancer Society of Lancaster County held a "Talk Derby to Me" fundraiser Thursday. The theme was to get community members excited about the Kentucky Derby while giving to a good cause.
About 150 people brought out their hats and bow ties to enjoy games, food and a silent auction.
"I don't know anybody who hasn't been touched in some way by cancer," said Melissa Rotay, an organizer of the event. "You've had it. You've known somebody's who's had it. You've helped somebody fight it. You've lost someone because of it. I can't think of a better organization."
Organizers expect to raise a few thousand dollars.


You just make me feel so good. You say things that come from your heart. Here is the little secret, you men. You make my days beautiful and nights wonderful 51. Such as dancing, singing, cooking, martial arts and others. Every once in a while, it really is okay to appreciate all the good things that your partner does, especially if those things are hobbies or activities he or she loves doing.
. It does not matter who invites a date first. Girls appreciate honest flattery, and want you to be very interested in them. Just know that you are not alone as lots of guys experience the same thing. The Party Pieces founder is often and Pippa and James, most recently the christening of grandson. I say that because, well to be honest he didn't.
What is the sweetest thing you can say to a girl?
You are always on my mind… 46. It is thought that this year the Cambridge family will spend Christmas with the Middletons this year. Laugh when she jokes, tell her she is interesting to talk to, or complement her for how passionate she is. How do you look so beautiful all the time? Read this message, and know that the sender loves you very much! If nothing lasts forever, can I be your nothing? I love the way you feel in my arms when I hug you goodbye. Be … observant to her and make her know that you notice her being. I love you with my heart and soul… 68. And when the waitress were asking for our choice of wine, I immediately looked up at him hoping he would suggest something.
But this should not be a problem when you have the right words to use, by right words we mean, sweet words and it works like magic. She might also be too stumped to say anything back to you, but she is going to start to love you a lot more. When I 1st saw you, I was scared to talk to you. I want to be with you forever. Otherwise you can introduce yourself after saying the opening of the conversation.
Make her feel special- Pleasuring a girl is all about how you make her feel around you. Meanwhile, if you are still not married or engaged, you may be thinking that there aren't any sweetest moment for you. You are the one for me, my soul mate… 78. Be stick with your mind and feelings. I love your smile and the way you make me smile. Good morning or night sweetheart! She is going to feel really important and that is going to do wonders for her confidence in herself and in the relationship as well. When you kiss me without uttering a single word, you speak to my soul.
What is the sweetest thing that you can say to someone you love?
All women find getting their partners off the most exciting part of a sexual encounter. If you are a guy, here is the with you. You have changed my life completely 35. See Also: , , 21. The doctor said my heart will always be fine with you in it. Start out by gently tugging at her pubic hair, if she goes for the bald eagle look, or she is not yet able to grow hair in that region, the hair on her head will be fine. What more could you ask for? You complete me so well 48.
I love you more than you will ever know… 38. When I spoke to you I was scared to hold you. I am lucky that I did. You have to do it from the start. You are the lovely surprise that every girl hopes she will get and never does. I feel so happy just spending time with you. When you want to approach someone you like.
This applies both to married and unmarried couples and most of them struggle to find new ways to make their beloved feel special, without having to go overboard. The angel said that angels do not watch over angels. And girls, which one of these you like the most????? The humor needs to stay alive in a relationship. This is why you have to go out of your way to spice things up! I think I am falling in love with you! Therefore learn to express love and tell her how much you love her and what she truly means to you. You satisfy me completely 80. It was going great until I ran out of stars.


It was quite sunny yesterday so I thought we would venture out for a little walk. Harvey, as you know, has a hobby of collecting twigs for his collection. I know, poor little boy! Does he have no real toys?!
He found a twig shaped like a 'Y' and started water divining. Where he has seen that I don't know but off he went!
It kept him busy and allowed us a lovely walk out without the usual repetition of me saying "wait Harvey, wait."
This was a drain in the village where Alyssa fell off her bike and her bell fell off straight down the grate.
I'm not sure if his twig worked or he just read it, but water was found.


By activecarehealth.com, old age issues might occur at the age of forty, though it all is determined by the all around health of an individual in youth.

It's impertinent to note here that physical health can't be attained without taking diet plan that is good .
Physical wellness is as essential as mental health. Rather better to suggest is usually to be healthy fit requires healthy brain and brain.

If you're having one of the above problems, contact the doctor of yours as early as you can. Take part in emotional tasks as chess etc and also ensure you are happy and stress less.

Trek 3700 & Cannondale F7, both are ATB.
I have been registered as Manish Joshi, in the municipality. I love out door sports and the nature. But firstly I believe in the Almighty and I not only pray to him, but also meditate. I fear him and nothing else. For the reason of being close to the Almighty, I also like to be close to nature, and hence would like to use a bike as a means of transport so as to prevent global warming and pollution. It may be a small step or like a drop in the ocean, but once you become part of the ocean, one does not exist. One becomes infinite. So lets all of us become infinite by coming together and heal THE WORLD.
What interests me is cricket, football, hockey, photography, music and gadgets.Cycling is also a sport I love, though its just a recent happening, because I did not own a bicycle. I had seen these MTB or HARDTAIL Bikes on some foreign channel and I said to myself, if I can buy a bike like the one I just saw, I will surely buy. I always wanted to go to see new places on my two wheeler, but that didn't happen. So I think that after joining CYCLISTS IN, I can not only go places, but also be part of gang and see nature and capture the moments to be treasured a long long time. Well now I have a good bicycle, i.e. TREK 3700, which I recently bought, in August 2009. I would like to go some far far places on the bike and with friends, which I would befriend from Cyclist In.
Well that's it, what more to say, maybe more when we meet. Bye for now.
For all my fellow Cyclists friends my Cell Number is 9833 43 6688.
For all my friends and fellow Cyclists good news, now you can get connected with me by calling me on my second Cell Number 8652 338877.
Thank you Manish. That was very Magnanimous and encouraging on your part. I am sure with well wishers like u My luck cant go wrong.
Hey Manish! What happened to you on Sunday? I thought you were coming!
Manish, surprised to find you missing at the biggest ride of the cyclists frm all across Mumbai today. Up with family responsibilities, are you?
how are you, hope to have you ride with us on the sat 27th and sun 28th for the ride to town. be there!!!!!!!!!.

Just a short drive from New Orleans, Louisiana are many acres of swamp land deep in the Honey Island Swamp that are said to be as uncorrupted, primitive, and untouched by man as anywhere in America.
It is for this very reason that some say it may actually be possible for a creature to live in these parts and go unnoticed by humans…well almost unnoticed.
The first documented sighting of the mysterious creature in this area took place in early August of 1963. Harlan Ford, a retired air traffic controller, and his friend Billy Mills came home from the swamp with an incredible story.
The pair of veteran hunters claimed that while out in the swamps they came across a large creature standing over the body of a dead boar. The strange creature had apparently ripped the boar's throat completely out.
Harlan described the creature as being covered in dingy grey hair, with longer hair hanging from its head. The two estimated the creature weighed close to 400 pounds and stood about 7 feet tall.
The creature's enormous size and hair was frightening enough, but the amber colored eyes and horrible stench that reeked from the creature were the two things that stuck in Harlan and Billy's mind from this unbelievable encounter.
Back at home Harlan told his family about the encounter, he said, "It was like nothing I'd ever seen before. Ugly and sinister and looking like something out of a horror movie. It swung around and looked at us for a moment, then tore off into the swamp. I want you to know it scared the heck out of me!"
A cast of the imprint made by the Honey Island Swamp Monster.
From Harlan's description, the monster is seven feet tall. Its legs are slender but its chest and shoulders were huge and it had long grayish hair on its head and short dingy gray hair on its body.
It also had unusual eyes, Harlan said, "They were very large and amber colored and looked hard at us before running off." Harlan was an honest man and didn't care if people believed him or not.
While news of this story spread like wildfire, the locals knew that stories of this ferocious creature go back hundreds of years. The Native Americans of the area called the creature Letiche, and described it as meat eating, human-like creature that lived in the water and on the land.
The Indians from this area believed that the swamp monster was once an abandoned child who was raised by alligators in the deep dark regions of the swamp. Cajuns called the creature Loup Carou, which some say means werewolf.
Some researchers believe that the Honey Island Swamp Monster is related to Bigfoot. While the body size and description is very similar, the tracks found in and around Honey Island Swamp do not resemble tracks collected in the Pacific North West.
They are 4 and sometimes 3 toed, much like tracks discovered in southeastern Texas and parts of Florida. Casts made by Harland Ford are about ten to twelve inches long, and have three long thin toes set next to each other and a fourth set back on the inside, rather like a thumb.
Ted Williams lived on the bayou most of his life. He was a trapper and worked on the swampland every day. Ted claimed to have seen the creature many times, and he knew there was more than just one of them.
He said, "I could have killed them, but I didn't cause they didn't seem to want to harm me. I'd see them swimming the river and get out on the bank then dissappear in the swamp."
One day while fishing one crossed the river and walked right past him. One day Ted took his boat deep in the swamp to set trout lines. He was never seen again. No one has ever found him or his boat.
Today, the creature is still purported to inhabit the swamp and the bayous along the Peal River. Local lore tells of a train crash that occurred near the swamp in the early 20th century in which a traveling circus lost chimpanzees who adapted to the environment and offer a potential explanation as to the creature's origins.

OK, let's cure this. Pull down that notifications shade and hit the settings cog. Scroll down and find the "Apps" or "App settings" / "App management" sub-menu. Then, find "Messenger".
Just tap "Clear data" and your Facebook Messenger will finally forget who you are.
This menu looks a bit different on Google's newest OS, so you may be a bit lost. Fear not, the "Clear data" button is just 1 step away, as shown on the picture in the left here. That's it, you're good!
