The car in this entry is the Ferrari 512P designed by Pininfarina. This model is made in 1:43 scale, all in metal with plastic interior, windshield and wheels.
Maybe the wheels are the worst thing in the model since they are plastic and hollow in the interior. The hubcaps however look great and give the wrong impression of two-parts rim + tyre. This makes me think, that the car could actually be a reedition of the original 1971 model.
The car has opening cockpit plus opening bonnet, with nice details on the inside: like the steering wheel, highly detailed cockpit or the simulated motor. It's only decal is the Ferrari emblem on the front of the car.
Mercury is the third "classical" die-cast manufacturer after Polistil/Politoys and Mebetoys. Maybe a step less famous than the other two, but also with a nice production over many years. The company was founded in 1932 in Torino by Attilio Clemente and Antonio Cravero to produce metallic components for the automobile industry (for "real" cars).
In 1945, the company decides to specialize in the production of die-cast toys, mostly cars. This turn was quite surprising at the time, since they were the first toy producers in Italy (together with Rivorossi, that started also in 1945), right after WWII. They foresaw a quick recovery of Italy after the disaster of war and an expanding market for quality toys. Other Italian manufacturers would follow, but much later (for example, Polistil, 1960).
The concurrence to Mercury came from outside Italy. Most precisely from England, were Dinky already produced the same type of toy since 1934. The production of those first years were not only die-cast models, but also traditional toys like toy kitchens or rifles that could fire grains of rice.
The first toy car (1946) was a 1/40 fictitious model named "Aero" (looks like a Lancia Aprilia Coupé). This model was not intended to be sold initially, but as a giveaway to promote SAFAR an italian radio manufacturer. After those giveaways, it was mass produced from 1946 to 1952 with many colour variations and even with a motor made of a rubber band. Other models in scales ranging between 1/40 and 1/50 followed. The "standard" scale of the time was 1:43, the scale that had adopted Dinky and also Solido, and that would be also adopted by Mercury in 1962. The first models produced were the ones in the picture below
|Catalogue picture taken from collectors-club-of-great-britain.co.uk
The cars were sold in cardboard boxes with a colour illustration on it. The artwork was made by Mario Davazza.
A short series of 1:86 scale cars was also released around 1949. The name given to this series was Micromercury. These models could be used in railway modelling (H0 scale), but could also be sold as cheap toys. Very rare are the models of trains and wagons for railway modelling made by Mercury.
In 1954, 9 years after the re-foundation of the company, Mercury produced a 1:48 model of the Fiat 1100 103, which was the "middle class" car of the time in Italy. This was a great success. Fiat had a great relation with Mercury as it had with Rivarossi, up to the point of showing drawings and confidential designs of cars that were not yet in production. For example, Mercury built a 1:43 Fiat 850 before the car was produced intended to be a giveaway in the presentation of the car (May 1964). By this time, Polistil and many other competitors had already started their businesses and the models are not so detailed anymore. If until now it was common to find cars with practicable doors, bonnet and trunk, that Fiat from 1964 only had opening bonnet. The price had to remain under 600 lire.
By the end of the 60s, Mercury still had those price restrictions and launched the "Special" collection with even fewer details that were sold for around 500 lire.
|Mercury's Ferrari 512S cockpit detail
|Mercury's Ferrari 512S motor detail
The 70s were a period of decadence. The founders died in this decade, the catalogue had each year fewer and fewer models (most re-releases of older models), with almost no new models, whose cast costs couldn't be afforded. Even the packages couldn't be updated and the toys were still being sold with the obsolote cardboard box with no windows.
Many think that the " coup de grace" for Mercury was the start of the Bburago series in 1:43. The company sadly closed in 1978. The last model produced was a Fiat Ritmo.
The company is not to be confound with the American company Mercury, which also did some toy cars and trucks, and even with similar or shared casts.
Information for this article was taken from http://www.rivarossi-memory.it/Altre_Marche/Mercury/RR_Mercury.htm (italian).
This is the second model by Mercury that appears in this blog. The other one was a race motorbike published very early (#2). I also used the tag Mercury for some other Guiloy motorbikes, since the casts are shared between the Spanish and the Italian companies. This Ferrari itself was also made (same or very similar cast) by Pilen and Joal, and before by Mebetoys/HotWheels! (same or very similar cast) and also by Politoys (different cast).
Some other time, we will talk about Speedy, the 1:64 collection by Mercury. I own just one model of these.
- Name: FERRARI 512S (Nr. 66)
- Scale: 1:43 (approx.)
- Year: 1971 (model shown is a re-edition, maybe 1975?)
- Company: Mercury (Italy)
- Size: approx. 10 cm

Easy to make and satisfying to taste, these tea breads will fill the house with the aroma of baking. Time it to the arrival of your guests when you entertain!
First attempt - dry and crumbly and bit too dense.
Much better when I split the batter into 2 loaf tins. Now it's soft and moist and looks like the one from SwissBake. The aroma fills the whole house!
- 3 very ripe medium size bananas peeled
- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup or 125g butter or margarine softened (get one stick of butter from the stores and you don't have to measure)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup chopped nuts optional (dry-fried almond flakes yum!)
- 1 cup fresh or unthawed frozen blueberries optional (another yum!)
- Position oven rack on middle rung. Preheat oven to 180C. Lightly spray the bottom of one 9x5 inch or two 8x4 inch loaf pan with non stick spray.
- In a medium bowl, mash the bananas with a masher until well mashed.
- In a large bowl, sitr the sugar and butter with a whisk or wooden spoon until well mixed.
- Stir in the eggs until mixture is well blended. Add mashed bananas, milk, vanilla and mix with a spoon until smooth and well blended.
- Stir in the flour, baking soda and salt just until moistened and combined.
- Stir in the nuts or blueberries (or both!).
- Spread the batter into the large loaf pan or divide evenly between the 2 smaller pans smoothing out the top of the batter.
- Bake the small pans for about an hour and the large pan about 1 hr 15. Do toothpick test. You're done if toothpick or satay stick comes out clean. (I read somewhere the best test is using an uncooked spaghetti stick. If it breaks, the bread is not ready. I haven't tried this though and would be interested to hear from anyone who has.)
- Remove from oven and cool for 10 min on wire rack. Loosen the sides of bread from the pan with a butter knife or metal spatula. Carefully tip the bread out and place top side up on the rack to cool completely. Wrap tightly and store at room temp for up to 4 days and in fridge for up to 10.
- Tell me about it!

Well, I haven't posted here in quite some time. Really havent visited the site much in the last couple of years but I have noticed these:
Rufus is still a libtard who for some reason simply CANNOT learn to spell.
Chip in particular but almost everyone in general literally destroy every post he attempts to use to bash anything NOT immoral and repugnant.
Charles still types like he's attempting a folksy version of Poor Richards Almanac
Well, that's hopefully enough to get it out of my system. I'll check back occasionally, but nothing has really changed. Except maybe Rufus is even more deranged since his Queen deity was soundly defeated by Russia and our founding fathers masterpiece known as the Electoral College...
Good day and good running all...

The 1st amendment allows the usual liberal narcissistic "I think.." which is how they start all their sentences.

K&N cold air intake kits are designed to replace your vehicle's restrictive factory air intake system with a high-flow performance K&N air filter and aerodynamic air intake tubing in order to increase horsepower and acceleration. K&N air intakes are designed to dramatically reduce air intake restriction as well as smooth and straighten air flow. Most K&N cold air intake systems will have the air filter located in the original air box space and are protected from hot engine bay air with a heat shield. Larger amounts of air flow from the air filter through a free-flowing intake tube and into the engine's throttle body (or turbo inlet where equipped) for a guaranteed power gain. K&N cold air intake systems are usually easy to install in about 90 minutes with common hand tools. The oversized performance air filter can be used up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is needed.
K&N Cold Air Intake Systems replace the restrictive factory filter and air intake housing with an aerodynamic intake tube and high performance air filter. The K&N high flow air filter is washable and reusable, and can be used for up to 100,000 miles before servicing depending on driving conditions. K&N cold air intake kits are relatively easy to install in about 90 minutes and only require common hand tools.

I was helping out recently with the final touches of the spanish version of a very cool research (really!) that focus on copyright enforcement, piracy and copy cultures: Media Piracy in Emerging Economies:
"By locating piracy within histories of non-elite media practices, we have tried to avoid definitions of piracy as theft or crime and focus instead on how pirate practices weave into existing social relations while at the same time transforming them."
So language is power and when it comes to naming phenomena related to culture, internet and copying, the struggle over language has resulted in interesting misuses that has led to labels like pirates, whom i salute!
Those who want to control the way our culture propagate started a very vicious trend years ago by referring to the very normalized practice of copyright infringement as "theft". There have been many attempts to explain why this is not the case. Many. At this point most people know (even supreme courts!) that infringement does not equal theft — yet there is lot of stuff that makes your eyes bleed and end up distorting the debate.
ENFORCE! is a corrective bookmarklet that force your webpage to refer to copyright infringement, copying, monopoly and culture by its proper names.

You might remember i got kicked out of a MAFIAA hearing in Mexico just for tweeting about a secret copyright trade agreement called ACTA. Boing Boing and TechDirt have fun details about it.
Lots of people have been involved in the fight against this insane legal weapon designed behind closed doors to protect the 1%. Unfortunately the United States and 7 other countries already sign it. México has pulled out for the moment and Europe still could do something to smash ACTA, once and for all.
Our friends at La Quadrature du Net in France released an awesome video that already have more than 500K views on the tube. You may share it, copy it and remix it.
Got it? Do something. Internet is for the 99%.

- What Makes a Great Monitor for Programming?
- Best Monitor for Programming
- How to Choose the Best Monitor for Programming?
The best monitor for programming is a tool that can facilitate you in your work. Every field of work has a monitor of its own. Graphic designers have monitors that have great color, 10 or 12 bit panels etc, Gamers have monitors that have a high refresh rate and low input lag.
Similarly, there are monitors that are of specific interest to programmers. We know that every artisan has his/her tools of trade. A programmer is nothing less than a master craftsman. Therefore, it makes complete sense if you decide to invest in a monitor that can improve your work efficiency.
What Makes a Great Monitor for Programming?
Well, every programmer must have a different answer to this question. To some colors are important, whereas to others, adjustability is an important factor.
Some programmers are on a tight budget, whereas others can spare top dollar for their monitor.
In the end, there are a few basic features that every best monitor for programming should have. This includes HDMI port, at least FHD resolution, at least 23″ in screen size and preferably and IPS panel.
Best Monitor for Programming
Here is our list of best monitors for programming. We personally recommend getting either a cheap multiple monitor setup or a wide screen monitor for better multitasking experience.
We also recommend considering investing in monitors that change their orientation to vertical (portrait) mode. The vertical monitor gives you a better view of your code than a conventional monitor.
Budget Monitor for Programming
When you hear the word budget, one of the first things that come to your mind is that it would be lacking. However, that is hardly the truth when it comes to monitors.
Screen technology has come so far that you can amazing monitors for very cheap. I mean there are tons of monitors out there that you can buy for less than $200 or even $150 a piece.
I wouldn't recommend going for the cheapest monitor that you can find especially if you are truly looking to enhance your programming experience.
Another amazing option with the budget monitors is that you can get two or three of them and have them setup as a multi-monitor display. There is no experience like working on a triple monitor setup. Your efficiency simply sky-rockets.
In any case, here are few of the best monitor for programming that I would recommend that are made for budget conscious people out there.
Display: 32″, IPS Panel, 1920×1080, 60 Hz, 8ms response time, VESA Mounts
Ports: Display port, HDMI, D-sub, USB 2.0 (2), and USB 2.0 up
Price Scale: 2/10
- Great for programming if you like large screen.
- Has a better response time and lower input lag as compared to TVs.
- Offers a USB Hub and VESA mounting capability.
- Does not have a tuner like the TVs.
- Working up close could become uncomfortable and tiring for the eyes.

- The resonse time is just decent enough for quality gaming
- The defective pixel policy is not very comprehensive
- The stands not fully adjustable
- The IPS panel used is not of the top notch quality
Vertical Monitor for Programming
Vertical monitors, or adjustable monitors, are one of the best display for programming. In fact, most of the programmer feel a lot more comfortable working on a vertical monitor than on a conventional monitor.
The reason here is quite simple. A code is typical written in a vertical manner meaning from top to bottom. Therefore, if a monitor can give a rather longer vertical work-space, it can make your work much more comfortable. Less scrolling up and down meaning you can save up on time.
Since we are not expecting you to carry out any sort of design work, most of the best monitor for programming in this category are quite cheap. Here are some of the great ones that you can find in the market.
Of course, the wider a monitor, the more vertical space it will offer when rotated to portrait mode.
Display: 24″, IPS Panel, 1920×1080, 6 ms Response Time, 60Hz
Features: Fully Adjustable
Ports:DP, VGA, USB 3.0

- Affordable
- Offers only TN panel
- If you are not a gamer, then there is no point in investing in this.
Ultra Widescreen Monitor for Programming
Ultra Widescreen monitors are the new trend in the monitor market. In fact, the best possible monitors that you can get these days are Ultrawide monitors. Some of them can be had for quite cheap; whereas, the some are atrociously expensive.
They can harbor the best features available for commercial market.
These monitors are available in 25, 29, and 34-inch sizes mostly. They have an aspect ratio of 21:9 instead of the regular 16:9.
For a programmer, an Utlrawide monitor is useful in the sense that it gives you a lot of real estate to fit multiple windows right next to each other.
Although most of the Ultrawide monitors do not have the ability to pivot to portrait modes, you can get separate stands that can enable you to do so.
Display: 34″, IPS, 3440 x 1440, 8 ms Response Time, 60Hz Refresh Rate

- Not a gaming monitor; however, the response time is suitable for casual gaming.
- Expensive monitor. You can get almost similar features in monitors that are $30 – $40 less.
Portable Monitor for Programming
Portable monitors are excellent companions to go along with your travel. You can use them with your desktop as well as your laptops.
Although the do not have the highest of specs, the idea behind these monitors is to provide you some extra real estate. Plus, they are highly affordable.
ASUS MB169B+ Portable Monitor - Recommended
Display: 15.6", IPS Panel, 1920x1080, 14 ms Response Time, 60Hz
Ports: USB 3.0
Price Scale: 2/10
GeChic 2501H

How to Choose the Best Monitor for Programming?
Here are some of the features that you should look for in the best monitor for programming. In the end what really matters is whether the monitor is comfortable to view or not.
IPS Panel
If you don't want to compromise on the quality of the visuals, then go for a monitor embedded with an IPS panel. In fact, most of the best monitor for programming already have IPS panels.
What's interesting about this panel is the deliverance of vibrant colors with great viewing angles, providing the users with a high quality of content on the screen.
Another option in the market when it comes to panels is TN. This Twisted Nematic panel delivers a low quality of colors with inferior viewing angles but has a low price tag and much faster response time.
Response Time
This is generally a feature that gamers talk about often. As a programmer, you don't really need to worry about this much unless you are a Gamer too.
As a rule of thumb, the faster the response time, the better is the gaming experience. Most of the IPS panel monitors feature a response time of 5 ms. This is quite decent.
At Least 1920 x 1080p Resolution - Biggest Factor
When choosing the best monitor for programming, the resolution is one of the biggest factors in making a difference in your experience.
Resolution is directly related to how you can multi-task. The higher the resolution, the more real estate you have. The more real-estate you have, the more screens you can fit. This, in turn, improves your programming efficiency.
If you cannot afford a high-resolution monitor then the least you should settle for is an FHD or a 1920x1080 monitor.
Other Factors
Some other factors to be considered before buying a monitor for programming includes the monitor having a capability to facilitate USB hubs, and the facility to provide adjustability options such as height and angle adjustment.
Pivot is one of the required feature by many programmers. The options to view monitor in vertical mode gives much more comfortable experience to many programmers. These adjustments are necessary if you want to endure the perfect view of your screen and coding experience.
Investing in a Stand
If you are looking to setup a dual or triple monitor setup, then choosing a right stand is very important. You can get stand in several configurations ranging from single monitor stand all the way to Quad monitor stand that can harbor four monitors.
Most of you would be either interested in dual or triple monitor setups.
In order to do this, the first thing that you need is a to make sure that your monitors are VESA compatible. If they are, then they can be mounted on the stands. If not, then there is unfortunately no other way.
Most of the monitors listed here are VESA complaint.
There are basically two types of stands out there, clamp stand and free-standing stands. A clamp mount stand needs to hook on to the desk; whereas, a free-standing stand can be placed anywhere and does not need to be hooked.
Here are some of the great stands out there
Double Monitor Stand
Free Standing Dual Monitor Stand
Clamp Dual Monitor Stand
Triple Monitor Stand
Free Standing Triple Monitor Stand
Clam Triple Monitor Stand
Accessories for Programmers
You will be delighted to hear that you can further improve your coding experience by investing in accessories and peripherals designed specifically for software developers. You can find monitors, mice, and even keyboard dedicated to improving your professional life.

Rachel "I'm Black, bishes," Dolezal keeps popping up to remind us how ubiquitous racism and White Supremacy are in our lives. Even with more urgent issues commanding our attention, her bold claims of racial domination run like an open app in the background, forcing our attention and draining precious energy we'd rather invest elsewhere.
Her recent headline-snatching-shenanigans include giving herself an African name, claiming she was financially destitute about to be homeless, bragging that her first Black husband couldn't deal with her being "too Black," and clarifying that she is Black, not African American. Now her memoir, In Full Color: Finding My Place In A Black And White World, is out, and she has books to sell.
The responses to Rachel are interesting. Many Black folks express how they are weary and ready to dismiss her—if only the media weren't addicted to her human click-bait. In an ironic turn, Huffington Post ran an apparently serious piece titled, "Can We Please Stop Giving Rachel Dolezal A Platform?" while doing exactly that.
Even as Blackfolks drag her on social media, the deep sigh of racial exhaustion seeps through the Tweets, the memes and the hashtags. Nobody has time for Rachel's foolishness beyond an increasingly annoyed, "Girl, bye!" followed by teeth-sucking, eye rolls, SMHs, and constant calls to just ignore her hoping maybe she'll go away.
On the flip side, I've also seen Black folks who say they're curious and are reading her book to find out more about her backstory and motives. And I've seen a number of Black people—mostly men—expressing support or wondering why she's an issue. Which makes me feel the bitter sting of the Tweet that said, "How do you know Rachel Dolezal's not Black? So many Black men are supporting her."
Ouch! But it certainly rings true.
As a Mixed person, I share the anger, the outrage and the weariness. But I don't have the luxury of ignoring Rachel and all that she symbolizes. While she claims to be Black it's physically obvious that she'd never in a million years be mistaken or able to "pass" for a Black person born of two Black parents. While she claims Blackness as her desired destination, it is Biracial and ethnically-ambiguous identity that she's trying to use as her passport and visa into all things Black.
When first confronted about her identity, Rachel cited one Black parent, not two, and repeatedly claims to be Biracial. She's open about keeping her skin tanned or bronzed, and her hair looking as Mixed-Black as possible. So wherever she hopes to end up, she's on my turf now. Though she's dated and married Black men, mothered a Biracial child and tried to adopt her Black brother; though she holds a degree from Historically Black Howard University and has made a living repping Black causes, teaching Black college courses and styling Black hair, Rachel Dolezal is pimping the tragic Mulatto because she knows it provides easy entrée into the racial funhouse that seems to be her life.
I can't brush Rachel off the way I'd like to because she is mining the fluidity of Mixed-race Ancestry and harvesting the physical ambiguities that I live with every day. I can lean to one side or the other, play with folks' perceptions and even toy with claiming an identity that isn't repped anywhere in my DNA, if I want to play that game. The life I've lived has earned me those rights. What does it mean that a Rachel Dolezal can simply lay claim to the challenges, nuances and abstract notions of my existence without ever having to pay the price of being a Person of Color in a White Supremacist society? Without having to ACTUALLY navigate ambiguity? Or any of the countless ways that Blackness and Mixedness are interwoven too tightly to separate from each other?
I'm not interested in Rachel's reasons or rationale for her claims to Blackness. And I'm definitely not here for her as the poster child for some insane "transracial" identity. Many accuse her of being mentally ill and/or delusional. But she's no dummy; she's in full possession of her mind, and she knows exactly what she's doing. I can't predict her end game, but nobody can stop her from making these claims or from gaining a platform to do so. She's dangerous because she's not just a household name and a punch line; she's the most painful kind of reminder that Whitepeople created their notions and policies around race to maintain their power and supremacy at all costs.
As if any Person of Color needed that reminder. As if we have the option to forget, even for the briefest moment of our lives. Her claims would be problematic at any time, but they have additional impact right now, when REAL Mixed-race people have a hard time inserting our voices into the public conversations taking place about our presence, our identities and our cultural choices. While most of America feels entitled to police our identities, Rachel comes along to remind Mixed and Black people alike of the power she wields—power we can neither diffuse nor vanquish. She's the biggest most abusive Identity Cop on the block.
Those who accuse Rachel of cultural appropriation have got it all wrong. Her offense is far greater: she is colonizing Black and Mixed identity to feed her need for dominance, reminding us—even as she bleats that "race is just a social construct"—that it is White people who created the concept of race in order to build and sustain a nation upon the foundation of racism in service of capitalism. The fact that she feels justified in laying claim to Blackness—and is consistently rewarded for doing so—is the real message we have to heed.
Mixed-race people in the USA know the endless stream of looks, attitudes, questions, challenges, and appropriations that come at us from all groups—those we share DNA with and others as well. We forge our identities against the constant pressure of everyone feeling that they have the right to TELL us what we are or aren't, where we can or can't go, how we either must or dare not identify, where we do or don't belong. And Rachel adds bold, highlighted headlines to mock our experiences and mine them for her own benefit.
So Rachel plants her flag and lays claim to Biracial identity en route to her promised land of faux Blackness. And Biracial America regards her warily from the front lines of the endless battle to be respected for our perpetually complex truths, ambiguous exteriors and inconvenient choices.
I cannot ignore Rachel Dolezal because she would thoughtlessly destroy me to reach the destination that she has claimed as her rightful destiny. I cannot write her off because she is sloshing around in the world I inhabit, spewing her brand of supremacy and bulldozing the nuances we Mixed folks are given to build our lives on into the rubble of her disdain.
She is Miz Anne reincarnated for the 21st century whose sole purpose is to demonstrate that every aspect of our beings is fair game in her hunt to be special. She doesn't want to be Black; she merely wants to rape and pillage and consume Blackness in her quest for the ultimate act of White dominance: reminding us that even her most bizarre claims are considered credible and attention-worthy.
I can't look away because she so perfectly reflects everything about America. And America so perfectly reflects everything that is Rachel Dolezal: the entitlement, the presumption of superiority, the mining of every human Black and Black-ish crop on her plantation, upon which she so greedily feeds.
The irony is that, in contrast to her dogged claims to Blackness, and in spite of the indisputable fact that she looks Blacker than I do, Rachel Dolezal is the Whitest person alive, whipping us with her arrogance, chaining us with her privilege, and choking us with her contempt as she reminds us that every aspect of our lives and our beings are hers for the taking, reality be damned.
She is here to challenge my agency and mock my Ancestors. I know precisely the dangers and problems that Rachel represents. Which is why I simply don't have the luxury of writing her off, averting my gaze from her grotesque masquerade, or ignoring the havoc she is only too happy to wreak upon my never-ending quest to be respected for my racial and cultural truths.
So I swallow my revulsion and recycle my weariness into steely resolve to keep her bizarre contortions in my line of vision at all times. I know she is wielding the weapons designed to destroy us, and I stand on the front lines to challenge and confront what she represents. Mixed-race identity might be the bridge she wants to use to cross over, but my back won't be lowered or bowed to assist her journey in any way.

Major changes are coming to the Wiki! To learn more and let your voice be heard, please go here.
Additionally, we are currently experiencing some bugs and glitches. We're working on fixing them, but please be aware this means certain images, such as the collection grid for items, will be replaced by errors for the time being.
|For the item with a similar name, see The Mulligan.
Mulligans are enemies with tear-filled eyes and a bloated head that appear in Chapter 1. Mulligans are afraid of the player and will actively try to avoid them. Their eyes widen and their speed increases when evading a nearby player. In their panicked state they may stumble over spikes or into fire.
Mulligans may self-detonate. Upon death they can spawn several Black Flies, Attack Flies and occasionally a Pooter. Mulligans cannot deal contact damage to the player unless they are champions.
In later chapters, deformed variants of Mulligans will appear.
Variations[edit | edit source]
Mulligoon[edit | edit source]
Mulligoons display a depressed appearance, but unlike Mulligans, they do not have tears in their eyes. They will audibly wail and attempt to evade the player. Their skin is a darker shade and one eye appears to be missing. They also don't generally hurt the player on touch and may self-detonate. They release 4 projectiles in an X-pattern and drop a troll bomb on death. If they self-detonate, they release 8 projectiles rather than 4.
Mulliboom[edit | edit source]
Mullibooms have a bomb wedged into their head. Instead of avoiding the player like all other Mulligan-types, they will charge at the player and explode on contact, dealing half a heart of damage. They also explode immediately if they are killed, similar to Boom Flies. Make sure to keep a safe distance when delivering the final shot, and consider killing them next to a wall that might be adjacent to the Secret Room.
Hive[edit | edit source]
Hives are enemies with a large rotting head and no eyes. Inhabited by flies, they can be found in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3. Although harmless on contact and lacking any direct attacks, they will spit out Attack Flies and spawn multiple Black Flies and Attack Flies upon death. They behave similarly to Mulligans including audibly whimpering and evading the player. Hives have higher health than Mulligans.
Drowned Hive[edit | edit source]
Drowned Hives behave similarly to Hives, but spit Drowned Chargers instead of flies. Upon death, they spawn 1-2 Drowned Chargers.
Nest[edit | edit source]
Nests, a new enemy in Rebirth, are a difficult variant of the Mulligan. Instead of flies, they are swollen with Spiders which they will periodically spit. Nests share the same high health as Hives. On death they can spawn Trites or Big Spiders.
Leper[edit | edit source]
Lepers are a Mulligan variant introduced in Booster Pack #5. Lepers are initially afraid of the player and will actively try to avoid them. For every 15 damage they take, a chunk of their head, known as Leper Flesh, will detach and start erratically chasing Isaac. After being reduced to 15 health, Lepers will start chasing Isaac, leaving a trail of damaging red creep. Upon death they leave behind one Leper Flesh and a slightly grayer Gusher.
Lepers in varying levels of destruction can spawn.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- Lepers deal no contact damage if their heads are fully intact, if they are in any state below that then they will deal contact damage.
- Their head chunks also die if Isaac walks into them, though this will result in him taking damage.
- Lepers can naturally be found with some head chunks missing.
Leper Flesh[edit | edit source]
Leper Fleshes are head chunks from Lepers that erratically chase Isaac and are spawned from Lepers for every 15 damage they take. Upon death, they fire a red blood shot at Isaac.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- Aside from Mullibooms and damaged Lepers, Mulligans and their variants are particularly susceptible to items that apply status effects to enemies on touch, such as E ColiGives "Turdy Touch" Effect. Enemies that touch Isaac are changed into poop. or Midas' TouchEnemies that touch you are stunned and turn gold. Any enemy killed while in this state will drop a coin..
- You can tell a Mulligan or Mulligoon is about to self detonate when they hold their breath and inflate.
- Red Champion Mulligans, Hives, Nests and Drowned Hives are difficult, as when they die, they can regenerate and spawn more enemies.
- White Champion Hives, Nests, and Drowned Hives are difficult as every enemy they spawn will give them invincibility.
- Pulsing Red Champion Hives, Nests, and Drowned Hives are difficult as every enemy they spawn will regenerate until Isaac kills it.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The Mulligan, Mulligoon, Hive and Swarmer are all the same monster in stages of decay and infestation.
- In the original Binding of Isaac, when a Mulligan self-detonated, the explosion would not break rocks.
- In the game's files, there is an unused Mulliboom self-detonation animation, an unused graphic of a Hive with a Mulligoon's face, and an unused graphic of the Drowned Hive with a blue-tinted Mulligoon's face.
- Drowned Hives, along with Drowned Chargers (name of Drowned Charger wasn't revealed), were revealed for Afterbirth in this official Binding of Isaac post.
- A leper is a person who suffers from leprosy, or a contagious disease that causes discoloration and lumping on the skin plus disfigurement and deformities.

A woman identified as Nomhle Punguzwa has revealed that her pet dog has been r*ped by her neighbour.
According to Daily Sun SA, on Saturday morning, the 37-year-old from Joe Slovo in Port Elizabeth was horrified when her pregnant dog was allegedly r*ped.
She told Daily Sun: "At 7am, a neighbour woke me up after seeing my neighbour taking my dog into his house."
Nomhle said she rushed to the house fearing the suspect was going to kill her pet.
"We knocked at his door but he didn't open. We waited for over 30 minutes before I went to fetch my uncle. Soon other neighbours were also on the scene," she said.
"We entered his house and I saw my dog escaping through the fence. Her privates were bleeding and she was crying in pain. We decided to call the cops."
When police arrived with the SPCA, they found blood stains on the floor and arrested the neighbour. "The SPCA took my dog for treatment and confiscated his own dog."
Nomhle said the man destroyed the love she had for her dog.
"She was like my baby. People adored her. She was pregnant when this evil man r*ped her," she said.
"I hope the SPCA keeps my dog because I'm traumatised. I can't live with her anymore because I constantly will be reminded of what happened to her."
The suspect was taken to Kwadwesi Police Station.
At the time of going to print, the officers' phones were switched off.

Sicilian Squid Pasta
After leaving work surprisingly early on Tuesday, I managed to catch my favourite fishmonger (Ocean Wave on Seven Sisters Road). I hadn't planned on buying anything in particular, but a huge white squid caught my fancy. As Paul (just found out my fishmonger's name and will of course be using it) lifted the squid I realised it was far bigger than anticipated, but I left with a bag full o' tentacles and began thinking up a recipe.
Given how disgusting the weather has been this past week, I wanted to make something un-characteristically summery, and a trip to Michael's (another Sever Sisters Road gem) provided me with these pretty gawjus tomatoes.
This squid is Sicilian only in the sense that it reminds me of some squid I had on a recent break to Sicily, and the tomatoes and mozzarella pulled through the pasta give it a rustic Italian feel.
I also used the remaining pasta the next day (recipe 2), with the addition of tuna and a poached egg, it made a delicious lunch.
Recipe 1 (Serves 2)
Large Squid (Body)
Zest of 1 lemon
Salt & Pepper
2 Cloves of Garlic
Get your fishmonger to prepare the squid because otherwise you have to pull 'the beak' out. Don't even ask. Score the inside of the quid lightly in a criss-cross pattern and cut into smaller pieces. Marinate in the olive oil with the salt, pepper, and finely chopped garlic (see below). Leave for an hour in the fridge.
During this time prepare the tomatoes and pasta. After this has marinated heat a griddle pan until it is smoking hot. Cook the squid for 1-2 minutes per side.
About 2 handfuls of mixed small tomatoes (cherry, baby vine, yellow…whatever you have)
1 Banana Shallot
1 Red Chilli
2 Cloves of Garlic
Balsamic Vinegar
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
1 ball Mozzarella
Handful of Basil Leaves, Roughly Torn
Rigatoni (for 2)
Leave the tomatoes in cold salted water for an hour before using them. If you don't have time to do this it is really not the end of the world. Finely chop the chilli (as much/little as you like), garlic, and shallot. Chop the tomatoes into halves or quarters, and mix these ingredients all together along with the basil, a glug of olive oil and one of balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar on top, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly, and leave to soak while you prepare the pasta. (NOTE this first part is also a great tomato salad recipe on its own.) Cook and drain the pasta, and add the tomato mixture. Tear the mozzarella ball into smaller pieces and mix this in too. Cook the squid at this stage (it's super quick) and top with the squid pieces, and a squeeze of lemon.
Recipe 2
Leftover Pasta mix (if you're like me, there will be no squid left by this point)
1 Tin Tuna
1 Poached egg
Plenty of Salt & Pepper
Mix the tuna in to the pasta mixture, poach the egg, pop on top, season to taste.

I stood at his door before lunch straining to hear the rhythmic beats pulsing low and steady from his laptop. The song was mellow and monotonous—understated sophistication—and I thought I should be having an intellectual conversation with someone while it played. I wanted it to be with Mr. Connelly, but the 59 percent on my math test suggested the conversation would sound more like this:
"Cadence, there are special classes for students like you."
"You need to be in a special class for math."
"I don't understand."
I considered walking away. I was extra nervous to be near Mr. Connelly ever since the wet wipe incident. I still couldn't figure out what he was doing. He had been just as remote and distant after the wet wipe incident as he was during the weeks that followed my lunch from Moe's. Back and forth. Back and forth. He was giving me a headache.
In any case, I needed help. I could not fail math. I had to graduate, so I pushed through the door before I lost my nerve. He looked up from the stack of papers in front of him, throwing his pencil carelessly on the desk. Like everything he'd been working on was suddenly unimportant.
"What's up, Cadence?"
"It's obvious I don't understand anything," I said, slapping my test in front of him. "I'm not stupid, though. I mean, just because I don't understand derivatives doesn't mean I'm a freaking idiot."
I shuffled my feet and hung my head low, biting nervously on my bottom lip.
"No one said you were an idiot," Mr. Connelly replied, turning off the music.
I looked up and saw a slight grin on his face. Glad he found me amusing.
"Well, a 59 percent sure does look stupid," I said sulkily.
"We'll make it better," he said.
"I'm starting tutoring sessions next week after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays," he replied.
I bit my lower lip harder. How could I stay after school? I had no ride home and was not asking my parents to pick me up. They both worked anyway and wouldn't be able to.
I shook my head and shrugged. "Oh well." Again with the instant tears. I had a knack for being out-of-control emotional around this guy.
"What does that mean?"
"I can't stay after school. I have no ride home." My lower lip quivered.
"Hmm." He swiveled in his chair and scratched his cheek. "Well, you can't fail calculus or you won't graduate. And I suspect you wanna graduate and get the hell out of here." He looked up at me expectantly.
I nodded, fighting the tears. I thought about Oliver's intramural soccer game this weekend and how boring it'd be. There. That seemed to work. I felt my eyes drying up.
"Don't worry, Cadence," Mr. Connelly said. "I'll work something out."
"Don't worry about it. Just leave it to me," he replied, then took a sip of his Orange Crush.
I smiled. "I've never seen anyone over the age of eleven drink Orange Crush."
"Well, my friends in college gave me hell over it," he replied. "Apparently in college you drink iced lattés. That's what you do."
"Duly noted," I said.
Mr. Connelly cleared his throat and looked down at the papers on his desk. I took it as a signal to leave. I turned around, then froze at his words.
"I've got something for you," he said.
"You do?" I asked, turning back around to face him. He dug around in his messenger bag.
"Yeah. Just give me a second to find it . . ."
I stood nervously pulling on the buttons of my shirt. My girlish heart and brain thought it might be a flower or a box of chocolates. I was an idiot, okay?
"Here we go," he said, and pulled out a CD. He handed it to me. "I remember you said you couldn't get on the Internet. Thought you might wanna listen to 'Midnight in a Perfect World' since you were curious about it."
I blushed, hanging my head so that he couldn't see. This was way better than chocolates or a flower.
"I did," I whispered. "In computer class." I didn't have to tell him that, but I wanted to. I wanted to hear his reaction.
"Oh? When you were supposed to be working?" The question came out as a flirty admonishment. And that's the reaction I wanted.
I shook my head. "I finished my work first." I looked up at Mr. Connelly.
"And what did you think?" he asked.
"I thought it was . . . perfect."
His stare made me uncomfortable and extremely excited. I wanted to know what he was thinking, but I wouldn't dare ask. It looked utterly private and off limits.
"Would you like to keep the CD for a while?" he asked.
"You won't miss it?"
He shook his head. "I've got an iPod."
"Okay. Thanks," I replied, and tucked the CD securely in my bag. "Who were you listening to when I came in?"
"DJ Premier," he replied.
"Another DJ?"
"Uh huh."
"What's the song called?"
"'Teach the Children'," he said with a smirk.
"You've gotta be kidding me."
Mr. Connelly chuckled. "I'm really not. The song is called 'Teach the Children'."
"So what? Is that, like, inspiration for you when you're planning out your lessons?"
He cocked his head slightly and considered me. "You're funny. And yes, maybe it is inspiration."
I swear his eyes burned holes into my face. He was so . . . intense. But a quiet, stable kind of intense, if such a thing could exist. I stood awkwardly, waiting for him to dismiss me.
"You should go to lunch, Cadence," he said, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"I should?"
"Okay." I turned to leave.
"I'll see you tomorrow."
"Mmhmm," was all I could say.
The phone rang after dinner, and Oliver picked up.
"Miller residence," he said, then paused, listening politely to the person on the other end. He looked at me and grinned. "Hold on just a minute, sir," he said, and called for Dad.
Dad took the receiver, and Oliver sidled over to me, the grin still plastered on his face.
"What?" I barked.
"Did you get in trouble today?" he asked.
"Then why is your math teacher calling?"
My heart plummeted to the floor. Why was Mr. Connelly calling my house? And then I remembered our conversation earlier. Tutoring sessions! Oh God! I never showed my parents that test grade!
I hurried over to Dad, hovering near him like an irritating gnat.
"I understand," Dad replied, trying to shoo me away. "No, no. I'm glad you called."
Was he?
"We'll work something out," Dad went on. "She'll be there Thursday. Thanks so much for the call, Mr. Connelly. Take care," and Dad hung up.
I bounced from foot to foot, dying to get it over with. My punishment for withholding that awful grade from my parents. What would they take away from me next? I had only my cell phone left. Surely they wouldn't make me part with it. They used it to track my every move, call me incessantly, make sure they knew exactly what I was doing.
Dad stood staring at me. I couldn't stand it any longer. "Here!" I shoved my phone into his hands.
"What are you doing?" Dad asked. He pushed my phone away.
"I know I'm in trouble," I said. "Just take the phone. I know you're going to anyway."
Dad shook his head. "You're not in trouble."
I breathed a sigh of relief.
"But you could have told me you were having trouble in calculus," he said. "Mr. Connelly told me he spoke with you today during lunch. He's offering free tutoring sessions."
"Yeah, after school starting next week," I said. "I can't stay, Dad, or else I'd miss the bus."
Dad thought for a moment. "Suppose I let you drive to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays."
My mouth dropped open.
"You think you could handle that?" he asked.
I nodded, mouth still hanging open. Dad smirked.
"Close your mouth, Cadence," he ordered, and I snapped it shut. "I'm taking a risk here, letting you drive so soon."
Drive so soon? I hadn't driven in close to a year, but I didn't argue.
"Don't make me regret it," he warned. "You get two days. Do you understand me? The rest of the week you take the bus. Once we work out a part-time job, we'll see about reinstating your driving privileges."
I flung my arms around him.
"Oof!" he cried, then wrapped me in a hug.
It was the first time Dad hugged me since I left for juvie. It felt strange and wonderful.
I squeezed his neck hard and heard him laugh.
"Two days, young lady," he said, lips pressed to my forehead.
I'd take whatever I could get.

Nascent Iodine
- Nascent iodine is the best and most efficient form of iodine to take.
- It was the famous psychic Edgar Cayce, who suggested iodine for all sorts of thyroid problems, who advised that it would be necessary to electrically charge the iodine to change it into its "atomic" form.
- Iodide has to be converted back to the nascent form in order to produce T3 and T4. Would the body not recognize nascent iodine as what is needed in the thyroid and take it there to avoid the steps of active transport to produce nascent iodine when it already has it available? This could explain why some people report that they feel the atomic form of iodine in their thyroid within 10 minutes.
- This charging converts the iodine into a form that the body can most fully recognize and assimilate (Iodine trichloriteclaims to be atomic iodine, but it's not.) A true atomic iodine is the best kind to bring the thyroid to its optimal function because it supports and saturates the thyroid without any toxic buildup.
Nascent Iodine
Here are the benefits of nascent iodine:
- Supports thyroid health.
- Promotes balanced iodine levels in adults and children.
- Encourages focus and a sharp mental state.
- Supports breast milk production and quality.
- Provides immune system support and defense against environmental toxins!
- Detoxifies mercury, lead, and toxic halogens like bromide, fluoride, and chlorine.

Pictured above is this years Frankfort Michigan 4th of July parade, one of many festivities celebrating the birth of our nation. For many, the July 4th weekend is filled with fun, family, community activities and the loud crack of fireworks. But on the south side of Chicago, residents were just as likely to hear the bangs of gunfire when more than 80 people were shot in the Windy City over the long holiday weekend, leaving at least fourteen people dead.
The bloody weekend began around 2:30 a.m. Friday when a 34-year-old man was fatally shot in a drive-by. From there, the violence intensified.A teenager was shot in his car. A woman in her 60s was grazed in the head by a stray bullet while standing on her front porch.A man was struck by a falling bullet.A teen was standing on the sidewalk when her ex-boyfriend allegedly walked up and shot her in the legs. A man sitting in his car was killed when a gunman fired shots into the vehicle. A woman who was also sitting inside was injured by glass.Two people were killed and another three wounded in police-involved shootings.
Shootings were so numerous this weekend that the Chicago Tribune ended up publishing a roundup of attacks, focusing on just a four-hour period Sunday afternoon. Since Jan. 1, more than 1,100 people have been shot in Chicago.Police spokesman Martin Maloney told the Chicago Sun-Times that since Jan. 1, Chicago has had its lowest homicide rate since 1963. And the toll from violence over the July 4th holiday weekend was actually lower than last year when 12 men were killed and at least 60 others wounded, NBC Chicago reported. However, police also noted an 8 percent increase in shooting victims through the first six months of the year compared with the same period in 2013. To those Chicagoans affected by shootings, the city has not done enough.
"We're celebrating independence, but we feel like we're in prison," Father Michael Pfleger of St. Sabina Catholic Church told ABC 7 News. "It's unacceptable. We wouldn't accept it in Iraq, we shouldn't accept it in Chicago."
