A "Deadite" is a life-force, person, animal or plant possessed by a Kandarian Demon. They are described as evil demonic Zombie Hybrids and are the main antagonists of the Evil Dead Franchise. Their disembodied forms are rarely shown, notable examples being when the evil was put in the "world of the flesh". In some moments of the films, the camera acts as the "eyes" of one of these demons as it is chasing Ash and some of the other characters. Some of the people they have possessed are Ash and his girlfriend, Linda.
Due to referring themselves as "We" instead "I", and multiple victims are shown possessed at the same time, they are rather in large number and often controlled by the power of the Necronomicon or Kandarian Demon itself, where the control by Kandarian Demon via Hive Mind.
Hive-Mind and OriginEdit
The person possessed by the Deadite is totally overwhelmed by the Kandarian Demon's main consciousness, with the resulting Deadite having access to all the hosts memories and behaviour. By all means, Deadites are the Kandarian Demons, and the Kandarian Demons are them. Deadites are demons from "Hell", though it is unknown whether this is the Hell of scripture, or merely the Deadites referring to a similar place of torture. In Ash vs. Evil Dead, Deadites are like an efficient network, all connected to each other (see Cheryl and Linda; Ed and Henrietta), suggested that both Deadite and Kandarian Demon are connected via hive-mind and support the fact that they are multiple in large but unknown numbers.
Appearance, Powers, and AbilityEditThe Human Deadites in their first and default stadium display white eyes with no pupil, reverberated voice, abnormal facial features, sharpened teeth, altered hands, skin tone change (grey, yellow, rosey or white) and differently-colored blood and fluids (white, dark or light red, black or green). The main abilities of a Deadite include superhuman strength and stamina, levitation, invulnerability to knife cuts and minor gun shots that are not involved with the brain. Over time, they can morph their overall body structure, or even grow extra limbs from the inside of their bodies. The most dramatic change they can sustain is the conversion into a bat-winged brownish creature which no longer resembling the former human form anymore. Deadites can also create hallucinations that change their aspect in order to deceive people, but the effect lasts just a few minutes.
Deadites can survive extensive damage to their bodies (see Henrietta, ED2 Linda). If trapped or blocked, they can immerse themselves into an apparent sleep condition and awake in convenient times (see Henrietta). The hosts body deteriorates alarmingly fast, sometimes as little as a few hours resulting in visible bone and flesh.
The Deadites have complete recall of the lives of their hosts, their memories, their emotions, and their relationships, and are able to temporarily appear as fully human again to communicate with those not possessed. This has only been used to escape from certain death or indefinite confinement. Through this trickery, the Deadites provoke an irrational and emotional response in their captors or would-be killers to allow them an opportunity either for escape or to catch them off-guard.
Possession is vastly achieved with a direct interface and "fusion" with the incorporeal essence of the Kandarian Demon where it starts off possessing someone before summoning it's disembodied minions to possess other potential victims, turning them into Human Deadites. Another instance of possession is through being hit or violently touched by the possessed. The possessed would create a link between other Deadites and the touched host causing possession. In a slow process similar to a biological viral infection, the essence gradually increases within the organism, until the point the new Deadite release himself (the "Rotting": black ramifications can be seen on the skin a few seconds before the definitive conversion). Severed limbs or heads of Deadites can only transmit a limited amount of Kandarian Demon's essence, but not enough to enable possession of an entire organism but at least part of it (see Ash's hand). Ash is one of the few to be resistant to the latter possession mode, though in Ash's case, The Force managed to take Ash's darker traits, enabling it to physically manifests once more as Evil Ash.
When a human becomes a Deadite they have no control over their physical body. Their souls are allegedly taken to "Hell" and tortured, although this might just be the demons' threat to scare those not possessed. In the films, only two people that become a deadite were ever released or returned to normal, the most notable being Ash or Mia from the remake.
The human soul inside the Deadite, while being painfully consumed and dissipated over time, can sometimes emerge and try to stop the Deadite, but only people of great will and perseverance can accomplish this.
In general, Deadites have a comedic but sadistic side and they are a type of very dark hearted beings for such liking of this zombie/demon with angry and childish mood. They enjoy self-mutilation, swearing, and relishing the fear of their prey. But they are neither stupid or clumsy, as each of them have their mind connected within a hive mind (with Kandarian Demon whom lead them). They are also known for speaking "Engrish" (the grammatically incorrect English) at times.
As the series progresses, they developed a strong hatred against Ash Williams, the very man whom capable to endure their torments because he was the Chosen One and therefore, the biggest threat to their existence and their master's goal. Though they responsible for terrorizing Ash into brink of insanity, it was ironic that the said madness has developed Ash into the more formidable adversary for them (continuous battle against Ash made the latter became more talented with his signature shotgun Boomstick as well as skillful with his trademark chainsaw where attempts to kill Ash eventually became more difficult). It's also appeared that they are also so arrogant that they sometimes underestimate their foes, which in turn leads them into trouble because their enemies have become a formidable adversary for them.
If they are confronted with enemies whom armed themselves with Kandarian Dagger, they were less brave against them because the Kandarian Dagger can kill them. They are also obsessed in securing Necronomicon-Ex Mortis, as the said grimoire is the only thing that can summon and control/enslave them.
Killing a Deadite is a difficult task. The rules are identical for each manifestation of both Kandarian Demon and Deadite spirits coming from the conjuring rite in the Book of the Dead. The Deadite must be dismembered completely. Decapitation is not sufficient because their limbs can continue to be animated. Multiple and high caliber gun shots can stop the Deadite for a limited amount of time, or kill if completely if the head is destroyed. In most cases, dismemberment is often necessary to finish off the Deadite so that the limbs have no host. The vulnerability of the head suggests that the Deadite relies on a few neural functions, though they can still survive with hardly any brain at all. It is unknown whether killing a Deadite in a host permanently kills the actual demon.
Even in Evil Dead (2013), the Deadite, which in the movie also called Taker of Souls aka Shaitan, even display abnormal behavior by inflict terrible bodily damage to itself before even begin attacking others. It is unknown if it do this as a scare tactic or simply because they enjoy the pain. Oddly enough, after being a Deadite for several hours, suffering various injuries (mostly self-inflicted) including forking her tongue with a box-cutter, and being buried alive, Mia was completely unharmed after release from her possesion. This may imply that while possesing a human any harm on the body is inflicted on the demon rather than the possesed.

Sponge Art Wrapping Paper
With holidays and birthdays year round, it seems there's never enough wrapping paper around the house. Why not give the kids an activity they can do that also helps replenish your wrapping paper supply? When people open a gift from you, they'll be pleasantly surprised to know that the gift came in paper handmade by the kids. Plus, this wrapping paper is made from sponge art -- and it's a fun way to take old sponges and put them to new use!
What You Need:
- Old (or new) sponges; multiple shapes and sizes are fine
- Paint in primary colors (red, yellow, blue)
- Bowls for holding paint
- Paper plates
- Butcher paper strips, or even newspaper
- Markers
- Scissors
What You Do:
- Help your child cut the sponges into various shapes. Ask her what shapes she would like to use as stamps. Suggest circles, squares, triangles, etc. It is tricky to do anything too intricate when cutting a sponge, unless it is very thin.
- Lay out a long piece of paper. Newspaper will also work as wrapping paper, so you can always use that in a pinch.
- Pour your red, yellow and blue paint into separate bowls.
- Encourage your child to experiment with mixing colors on paper plates. What happens when she mixes blue and yellow? What about red and blue? If she wants to make lighter or darker shades of each color, try adding white or black paint into the mix. She'll use these "new" colors to create the wrapping paper.
- Have your child carefully dip the bottom of her sponge into one color paint, remove excess paint, and stamp it onto the paper. She can place the stamps in any way she desires. Repeat this process until she feels she's created the design she wants.
- After it dries, see if your child would like to use a marker to draw designs on her sponge shapes. A shape might look like a monster, so draw monster faces on it! Encourage her to embellish the stamps using her imagination.
- If it's holiday time, cut triangle sponge stamps and have the kids decorate them with thumbprint hollyberries.
- Let dry, and get wrapping!

Martin Luther King, Jr. Quote
A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our past and present policies. On the one hand, we are called to play the Good Samaritan on life's roadside, but that will be only an initial act. One day we must come to see that the whole Jericho Road must be transformed so that men and women will not be constantly beaten and robbed as they make their journey on life's highway. True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.

Gaia Association, Ethiopia
Ethanol stoves for refugee homes
Having fled conflict in their own country, the Somalian women in the refugee camps of Eastern Ethiopia were provided with basic items and support. However, at first they were not provided with cooking fuel. As a result they spent many exhausting hours each day looking for firewood. The result was deforestation, and danger as many women faced attack.
Meanwhile the Ethiopian government was looking for a solution to the problem of pollution from the local sugar industry. Rather than dumping the molasses by-product, the government was encouraging producers to manufacture ethanol.
The Gaia Association, an Ethiopian NGO, saw an opportunity to provide cleaner, safer cooking to refugee families, using ethanol-fuelled cooking stoves. Working with the UNHCR, the main providers of support in the camps, they raised the funds to provide stoves to camp residents, set up a training and support network and agreed to purchase the ethanol off the government.
The benefits are considerable. By Dec 2009, 1800 households in Kebribeyah camp and 800 in Awbere camp were using ethanol stoves, avoiding the emission of about 10,000 tonnes/year of CO2. More importantly, the women no longer have to forage for wood and studies have demonstrated that the camps are less polluted and health problems reduced. All of which leaves more time for the education so critical to the long-term opportunities of the residents and their children.

The headers are taking up the full space of the widget on the home page but shrink down to the size of the text in the header if you click on an article. I've attached some images with what I'm talking about.
Here is what the widget looks like on the home page.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear Lists › 2007 AT thru hike
Apr 12, 2007 at 9:25 am #1222779
Hello all,
In a couple of weeks I'm setting out for a NOBO thru hike of the AT. My goal for completing the trail is 4 months (123 days).
I uploaded my current gear list to my profile, so please just click on my name at the left and then click on "AT 2007 NOBO".
Any feedback you guys are willing to give is much appreciated as I am sure I will be tweaking the list until I leave!
Ah, also I will be carrying section maps but this is not listed…
Thanks again!

Hi Jeff,
Yes, my wife is putting together a website to follow the hike. Pictures, very basic journal, probably podcasts… It's under construction now – when it goes live I'll be sure to post the address.
Will you be keeping a journal of your hike? Be careful, the planning for your hike will consume you!

What are your plans for food and replenishments along the way?Apr 16, 2007 at 8:34 pm #1386233

David- Your list looks good and your trip looks even better! I'm so excited for you!
I'd also love to hear about your details, goals, logistics, etc. I've always dreamed of a Thru hike of the AT…
The one thing I see on your list is your pound of trekking poles. For long distances like this, nothing will keep you fresher than a pair of lightweight carbon fiber fixed length poles. Super light, stiffer than your Lekis, and with better shock absorbtion. Check out the Gossamer Gear Lightrek to save 10 oz in your hands for just $101. Another good option- the stiffer Titanium Goat poles (new adjustable ones available).
Have a great trip!!!!

Best of luck on your hike! I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't completely jealous. I'm looking forward to following your progress on your website.Apr 17, 2007 at 3:36 pm #1386315
Thank you for your comments and questions. I'm getting more excited every day as Springer approaches. Please bear with my rambling…
Evan wrote "What are your plans for food and replenishments along the way?"
Primarily I will get food from the nearby trail towns. The Thru-hikers handbook as well as Baltimore Jack's article on resupply on whiteblaze.net are excellent resources for letting hikers know what to expect from trail towns in terms of supplies.
Staples include dehydrated things like instant potatoes, Lipton meals, etc. as well as pepperoni (one of my trail favorites), pringles, trail mix, and whatever bars I can find (by which I mean balance, cliff, etc. not the booze bars!).
When I know I will need to resupply in a town that does not have a great variety of groceries, my wife will send me a mail drop with food to get me to the next town. She will also mail me things every few weeks that I like and can't count on getting, like emergen-c packets for drinks and other "heavy" treats I can eat before getting back on the trail.
Doug wrote "The one thing I see on your list is your pound of trekking poles. For long distances like this, nothing will keep you fresher than a pair of lightweight carbon fiber fixed length poles…"
I have toyed with the idea of picking up the GG poles (I like their hand grips better than the new Titanium Goat adjustables). I just read Doug's "Carbon Fiber Trekking Poles Review Summary and Gear Guide Overview". Very good reading…
Pole question…I typically set my poles at 128cm. Am I better off buying a fixed length of 130cm or 125cm, or does it really matter? I am leaning towards the 130cm so I can pitch the Gatewood Cape a little higher…
Thanks again for your posts guys,

How cold can your rayway go?Apr 17, 2007 at 7:41 pm #1386365
Hi Evan,
The Ray-Way quilt is said to be rated to 40 degrees. That stated, I have pushed it much lower than that by wearing all of my clothes and using a lightweight bivy.
The coldest I have gone with my quilt and wearing extra clothing, bivy, etc. is mid 20's, and I think right around 20 degrees is the coldest I would comfortably go.
Does anyone out there know if I should be expecting anything drastically colder than this on the AT?
Earlier this year some friends and I went snowshoeing for an overnight and it got down to 5 degrees in a shelter. I basically used everything I have for my AT trip PLUS a blue foam pad and second ray-way quilt over the bivy. It was cold, but I survived no worse for the wear.
DaveApr 17, 2007 at 9:46 pm #1386385
So this set up you, given a few mods here and there, would suffice as a 3 season AT gear list?
Btw dont mean to pester but im just getting down to UL packing and trying to put together a 3-season set up, similar to your list.Apr 17, 2007 at 10:30 pm #1386387
No problem! Once the decision was made to thru the AT it gave me a great excuse to spend more time researching gear and to spend some money tweaking my list (thus dropping weight and increasing efficiency). As a result my base weight is half of what it was a year ago.
The gear list I posted here is what I'll leave for Springer with, barring last second changes. I will post my website address here in the next couple of weeks once it goes live. Among the updates on the site will be any gear changes I make along the way, and what prompted the changes.
Comfort, especially warmth when sleeping, varies person to person. That said, if I find that I need additional warmth I might send home for my expedition weight capilene zip long sleeve. Wearing that over my lightweight zip, and under my windshirt, then micropuff, quilt and bivy should keep me toasty!
Also, on Doug's recommendation I am seriously considering the Gossamer Gear Lightrek poles. We'll see!Apr 18, 2007 at 12:58 am #1386403

I usually set my adjustable poles at 130cm, but after extensive testing decided that 126cm would work for my fixed poles. That happens to barely fit my Tarptent Squall 2, and it also works for my Gatewood Cape. If you're more comfortable using the 130cm length, then go for it. The Cape will work fine with longer poles, whether pitching it higher or down to the ground. You can just angle the shaft a bit, or prusik a mitten hook to the pole handle and use that to adjust the shelter height. Any excess pole sticking up above the Cape's harness will simply hold up the hood a bit (improving ventilation).Apr 18, 2007 at 9:01 am #1386457
Im using the Gatewood cape and Gossamer nightlight ,then Mountain Laural Designs Alpine bivy (9.5oz) and the REI kilo flash 40+ (19oz.). Thats my sleep/shelter system, any thoughts?Apr 18, 2007 at 10:15 am #1386475
Thanks Doug F.,
Good point about finding alternative ways to get more or less length out of the poles when pitching the Cape. I want the option to pitch it high like Will R. in his product review or lower and tighter for foul weather. I'll pick the best hiking height for the poles and make it work with the shelter.
The thought of 3 oz. poles is going to remain unbelievable until I hold them in my hands!
DaveApr 18, 2007 at 10:30 am #1386480
"Im using the Gatewood cape and Gossamer nightlight ,then Mountain Laural Designs Alpine bivy (9.5oz) and the REI kilo flash 40+ (19oz.). Thats my sleep/shelter system, any thoughts?"
I think the sleep system sounds great. That's a great looking bivy. How do you find the breathability?
From there it is a matter of testing different conditions. That's part of the fun! If you winter camp finding out at what point you need a second pad to sleep comfortably, how much clothing you'll need to wear etc. Be prepared to wear all the clothing in your pack in order to stay warm on the colder nights…
You have a good flexible core system to work with, and maintaining flexibility has been a huge part of lightening my load.
Are you putting together a gear list for a long distance trek of your own?
DaveApr 18, 2007 at 1:48 pm #1386517
I have yet to use the MLD bivy and i hope the condensation does not affect the down bag. I plan to switch in a sub kilo 20+ when needed. Arent you afraid that with a bivy thats not fully waterproof your bag may get wet? By the way is your Equinox bivy windproof?Apr 18, 2007 at 11:38 pm #1386582
Hey Evan,
I'm not afraid of the quilt getting wet under the Gatewood Cape. If the weather is bad, I'll stake the shelter tighter to the ground on the "wind side". The bottom of the bivy is waterproof and the top is water resistant, so there should be no issues there. Also, the quilt is made of Polarguard, so a little dampness won't ruin my night.
I thought the bivy might be overkill under the cape, but stuck with it for a couple of reasons. It will block any drafts that might have negatively affected the performance of my quilt (yes, I consider it to be windproof). Along the same line it will boost the sleep systems temperature rating. Also, it does double duty serving as my ground cloth since it has a waterproof bottom.
A couple of reasons for selecting the bivy that I did…it's very light and breathable, it's economical (relatively cheap). Of course there is a durability tradeoff, but I'm willing to accept that. I anticipate by the end of the hike there will be some duct tape patches to the bivy, especially the bottom portion.
DaveApr 19, 2007 at 8:52 am #1386610
I dont have any really long trips planned just yet, I have a few shorter ones planned in the whites and long the LT, but right now im just trying to refine my UL 3-season pack. The main concern being how the condensation of the cape and or bivy will affect the down bag. Who knows i may have to spend a little more and get a synthetic quilt.Apr 28, 2007 at 11:02 pm #1387573
Thank you all for your on and off list help in preparing for my hike.
My gear list has been tweaked and reposted for the last time. I broke and bought the GG lightrek poles, other than that the final changes were minor.
For those who would like to follow my progress – my wife built a website that will have photos, podcasts, etc. once I begin.
I'll be on the trail this Tuesday, so goodbye for now and see you on the other side.

Hi, David: Bookmarked your journal. I live just a few miles from the AT/LT in southern Vermont and have been wondering whether any UL geeks would be AT'ing this summer, so read your posts with interest. Have been thinking about being a "Trail Angel" if I can find any spare time and would be particularly likely to do that if I knew when a UL person would be crossing VT Rte 9.
Meanwhile, best of luck and more than that, much enjoyment to you.Apr 29, 2007 at 7:32 pm #1387628
Hi Mandy,
Thanks for your interest in the hike! Keep checking out the map on the site as my wife will be updating my progress. Leaving for ATL in the morning!

Group Therapy (sort of)
[posted by dinah, with guest barkers max, tex, and alfie]
Max has a new buddie, Alfie, a chocolate lab who is currently in foster care with Tex and family while she awaits transport to her permanent home in Georgia. Alfie, in her pink, rhinestone-studded collar, makes quite the statement. My only psychiatric observation is that she plays well with others and, as a group, this gang is not prone to introspection. The biscuits are what it's about and surely, the end justifies the means. Not really psychiatry, but who can resist a new puppy?

Florida courting MLS teams for Spring Training

Baseball teams have been holding Spring Training in Florida for so long, it has become ingrained in the sporting consciousness, with baseball fans each year anxiously awaiting the arrival of pitchers and catchers.
The arrival of baseball teams in the Sunshine State and, more importantly, the annual arrival of their fans -- is an economic development engine for Florida, with more than 1.5 million fans attending games annually. A 2009 Economic Impact Survey of Spring Training Baseball showed a $753 million benefit to the state annually. Since the 2000 season, more than 20 million fans have passed through the turnstiles at Florida stadiums.
Now the state wants to do the same thing, albeit on a smaller scale, with Major League Soccer spring training. The idea started with Disney's ESPN Wide World of Sports two years ago.
"They started the Pro Soccer Classic, which was the genesis of the idea," said Kevin Coulthart, Vice President of Marketing & Events for the Central Florida Sports Commission.
This February, six MLS teams, the Philadelphia Union, DC United, Toronto FC, Montreal Impact, Sporting Kansas City and the Columbus Crew, will be joined by NASL side Tampa Bay Rowdies and USL Pro side Orlando City FC in the tournament.
"We want to try to create a permanent property," said Coulthart.
The teams will train at different facilities throughout Central Florida, including Disney, with four dates of the tournament taking place at the ESPN Wide World of Sports facility.
The state is providing some funding for the project, which also has the backing of Volusia, Osceola, Orange and Seminole counties.
Currently there are only two Major League Baseball teams that train in the area, the Atlanta Braves who are at the Disney complex and the Houston Astros who are in nearby Kissimmee, so there is room for growth.
"Its a building process," said Coulthart. "We think the possibilities are very rich. Part of it is changing the mindset of teams."
MLS is firmly behind the idea of centralized Spring Training, and is looking at a model similar to baseball, with Grapefruit and Cactus Leagues.
"They see the benefits of what this could be," said Coulthart.
The Disney Pro Soccer Classic kicks off Saturday, February 9, with four games. There are three dates of quadruple headers, Feb 13 and 16, and the championships are on the 23rd.
The Central Florida Sports Commission hopes to grow the number of teams in the area, but expects at least the same number to return next pre-season.
Moving forward, its probably a good bet teams from Northern climes, especially those in the east, will be approached about spring in Florida.
"We look at teams that would be good travel options," said Coulthart.
