Many of the causes (etiologies) of acute cough discussed above may also persist greater than four weeks and thus be classified as chronic cough. Two causes of acute cough which generally have a shorter than four week lifespan include: upper repsiratory infections (generally a maximum of 2 week duration) and croup (generally 4 to 6 day duration). Some studies have estimated that 5% to 7 % of preschoolers and 12 to 15 percent of older children may have chronic cough. Males are more likely to have chronic cough than female,s and chronic cough is more likely in underdeveloped countries than in those more affluent. Causes of chronic cough (in addition to those listed above for acute cough) include: Irritation of the airways: pollution, primary or secondhand smoke, and an allergen may also produce persisting cough. Elimination or reduction of the offending irritant is therapeutic. Increase in cough receptor sensitivity: Some children seem to have a more sensitive response to irritants than their peers. The mechanism for this increase in cough receptor sensitivity is not well defined at this time. Possibilities under consideration include inflammation, erosion of the surface cell layer of the airway or a sensitization of the airway. The diagnosis may be explored in research centers using a cough-inducing irritant (capsaicin) as a quantifiable stimulant. Interpretation of such data is in the infancy stage. Habit cough: This cough has both a psychological and physical component. While often triggered by the common upper repsiratory infection, the duration of cough symptoms far exceeds the duration of the viral infection. Parents will describe a distinctive quality of cough: short, dry, single episodes that may mimic a benign motor tic (see above). Unlike a tic, the cough may be quite loud and disruptive to the classroom setting. The cough is commonly present during a medical evaluation but it does not characteristically interfere with play, sleep, talking, or eating. No specific diagnostic evaluation exists and habit cough is a diagnosis of exclusion. Counseling is generally an effective management technique. Otogenic cough: A minority of individuals have a branch of the nerve used in the cough reflex lining the ear canal. Irritation of the canal (Q-tips, was [cerumen], etc.) may cause irritation of this nerve and thus induce a persisting and non-productive cough. While this is a relatively rare cause of children's cough, removal of the offending agent is curative. Return to Children's Cough Causes and Treatments Stay Informed!

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Houston's TaShawn Thomas led a dominate performance in the paint with 19 points and 12 rebounds as the Cougars defeated TCU 54-48 on Tuesday night.
The Cougars (6-2) nearly doubled up on the Horned Frogs (6-3) in the paint, outscoring TCU 32-18.
The Horned Frogs kept the nation's 19th-best scoring offense in check, but they couldn't keep up themselves. TCU was the third-best team in the NCAA in scoring defense going into the game, giving up just 52.6 points per game.
Houston, which came into the game averaging 81 points per game — 19th-best in the NCAA — was held to its season low in points. But TCU shot just 33.3 percent, including 5 of 18 from 3-point range and 5 of 13 from the foul line.
Joseph Young added 12 points for the Cougars, snapping a two-game losing streak.
Kyan Anderson led TCU with 20 points. Adrick McKinney scored 10 and had 20 rebounds.
The Horned Frogs were playing catch-up from the get-go after starting the game 0 for 9 from the field. TCU didn't score for the first 6 1/2 minutes until McKinney hit one of two free throw attempts to make it 10-1 Houston. TCU hit its first field goal at the 12:08 mark when Nate Butler Lind knocked down a jumper, but the Cougars were already up 12-3 at that point.

After the Quadrixette frame performed very well on the first testflight, i had to put it under more stress :-)
Ygramul invited me to a place in the woods he found which is perfect for my favorite kind of FPV-flying: in close quarters!
The Quadrixette Frame is a frame concept of mine which will be available soon for a very competitive price. The goal was to have a free cam view, but still a centered control board and an adjustable balance point. This way the motors are stressed equally and the control will not loose precision. More information here (only in german for now):
The frame is now available for purchase at:
As usual: All flying done in Heading-Hold-mode, recording with GoPro and Keychain-Cam (#11). Control: Plejad Celeano, Turnigy Plush 10a, A2280 motors

We've mentioned a few times that we thought the release of a new chipset at Computex followed with a release of a new high-end Intel CPU for the LGA 2011 platform would bring with it a rush of new memory. Instead we've seen very little movement in the market. We're not sure if we've hit a bit of a standstill when it comes to speed and timings or something bigger is coming later down the track. Saying that, we do have a new kit of RAM on our hands today from Corsair. This particular one falls under the Vengeance Pro line which isn't a new one for us. Recently we saw a 16GB PC3-14900 1866MHz DDR kit from Corsair, along with the higher-end 16GB PC3-19200 2400MHz DDR kit for people who are looking at something a little faster. Today we're looking at something a bit faster than that, but before we get into what exactly we're dealing with, let's see what's going on with the kit itself. Looking below, you can see we're not dealing with anything that we really haven't seen before. Like the higher-end PC3-19200 kit, this particular set comes with the red insert. The PC3-14900 kit carried with it the silver one. The black and red combination looks great, but one of the things we love about these Corsair kits is the fact that they also use a black PCB. As always, we know it's only aesthetics, but it doesn't change the fact that it makes the kit look very cool. Looking at each side, you can see we've got the Vengeance Pro Series logo on one side, while the other side has a sticker that gives us a rundown of all the major information. Moving in a little closer, we can see exactly what we're dealing with here today. Looking above, you can pretty much see exactly what we're dealing with the CMY8GX3M2A2933C12R model number giving us a fairly good idea. We've got two sticks on hand with both being 4GB each, bringing a total of 8GB. As for the stock speed, you can see it's a massive 2933MHz DDR. The biggest trade-offs to memory kits that come off at this speed is the fact that they're usual smaller in size, in this case it's an 8GB kit, instead of 16GB, which is what we mainly see these days. Along with that, though, the timings are always a lot looser. You can see when it comes to the timings, we're dealing with a 12-14-14-36-2T @ 1.65v kit. Throwing the kit into our system, we powered up our GIGABYTE Z87X-OC Force. This is the first time we've used the board and we're really looking forward to seeing just how it goes. With the kit installed, we fired up our system and headed into Windows with the kit just running at a low 1333MHz DDR. Before we did anything, we wanted to grab the latest BIOS for the board, which at the time was the F7 version. With the new BIOS in hand, we headed into the BIOS and updated to the latest version. With that all done, we headed back in and set the XMP Profile to number 1. We then double checked that the speed looked corrected and proceeded to reboot the system. We didn't run into any problems at all with the stock settings. Looking above, you can see everything was fine in Windows. So, with that done, it's time to get into the benchmarking side of things. Under AIDA64, we ended up with Read / Write numbers of 29,033 MB/s / 34,848 MB/s, Copy speed of 30,172 MB/s and latency of 41.5ns. These numbers are about where you'd expect them to be considering the speed of the kit. As always, the next thing we try to do is see if we can get anything more out of the kit. To date, though, we really haven't had much luck at all when it comes to going above 2933MHz DDR. We're not sure if it's been our motherboard or our CPU or the RAM itself. We've never had any issue getting 2933MHz DDR, but trying to get higher by an increase in BCLK or memory divider has always resulted with our system no longer booting. Saying that, though, we're dealing with a new motherboard and of course a new kit of RAM, so we headed into the BIOS and tried to adjust our BCLK higher as there was no option for a memory divider above 2933MHz DDR. We moved up to just a 101 BCLK and had no issue booting and getting into Windows. We then started moving up .2 BCLK at a time until we ran into problems. | Going to 101.6 BCLK resulted in our system no longer booting. Moving back just .1, though, to 101.5, saw us get into Windows with no problem with the exact same timings. Looking above you can see our memory comes in at 2976MHz DDR with the 12-14-14-36-2T timing setup. To date this is the highest clock speed we've had on a kit of RAM. We're not sure if it's the new board we're using, a more updated BIOS since the last time we tested RAM or just the RAM itself. In the end, we're not going to complain, though. Along with the higher memory clock this also brings with it a higher CPU speed due to the increase BCLK. As you can see in the above image, we've gone a little higher from the default 3.9GHz to 3.96GHz. With everything looking good, it's time to get into the benchmarking side of things again. Under AIDA64, we ended up with Read / Write numbers of 29,629 MB/s / 35,508 MB/s, Copy speed of 30,437 MB/s and latency of 41.1ns. While this is an overclock from the stock speed, it's not a massive increase. For that reason, we didn't expect a massive jump in performance. Looking above you can see that compared to our original numbers, we've just got a small increase in performance across the board, along with a slight reduction in latency. The next thing we do once we've found our maximum overclock is head back into the BIOS and increase our CPU speed, while leaving the memory at the same overclocked speed. Looking below you can see we've pushed our CPU up to 4.47GHz via a 44x multiplier and 101.5 BCLK. The memory runs just a little higher at 2978MHz DDR with the exact same timings. Under AIDA64, we ended up with Read / Write numbers of 29,563 MB/s / 35,388 MB/s, Copy speed of 30,710 MB/s and latency of 39.9ns. Across the board you can see really no change at all when it comes to the MB/s numbers. We do see a slightly dip in the latency, though. While we've got a 500MHz increase in CPU clock speed, we really see no change in overall speed. This isn't anything new, nor is it an error. The release of the Z87 platform has seen memory performance barely change when overclocking the CPU - no matter how high you go. We've tested it on a number of motherboards, CPUs and RAM kits. The Corsair Vengeance Pro PC3-23400 8GB Dual Channel memory kit doesn't hold much in the way of surprises. The Vengeance Pro series isn't a new one so the overall design isn't new to us. When it comes to the performance side of things, it sits where we'd expect it to. The numbers are strong across the board. I think the biggest surprise comes from the overclocking side of things. Sure, 2978MHz DDR isn't a huge increase from the 2933MHz DDR stock clock, but it's the highest clock speed we've had to date and that's never a bad thing. Whenever it comes to these kits that carry such a strong out of the box clock rate, though, we've always got to mention the importance of your CPU. If you're buying a 2933MHz DDR kit, you'd really want to know that your CPU can handle the clock speed - without actually testing the kit that can be hard to know. Testing these high-end RAM kits are always fun and it's awesome to go into Windows with the RAM running at such high speeds. These kits are in no way for everyone, though, for a number of reasons. While we haven't got a price on the kit, we know it's going to carry a premium, like others that come in at 2933MHz DDR. The other reason that these kits aren't for everyone is that they'd prefer to have 16GB kits at lower speeds for less. If you're looking for a kit with serious speed and you don't mind the fact that it's an 8GB one, then this Corsair kit is perfect. The quality of the kit is great, the looks are fantastic, the performance is extremely high, and if you've got a CPU that's capable, you've got more head room. This is the kind of kit that is either perfect to you or no use. It just depends what you want and need, but if you want high-end, it might well be your answer. |

Gives 50 shades a run for its money!
Killer Heels - Rebecca Chance
Member Name: realisticbeauty
Killer Heels - Rebecca Chance
Date: 17/12/12
Advantages: Unpredictable twists, well developed characters
Disadvantages: none
This is the first book by Rebecca Chance that I have read. I have been meaning to read one of Chance's books for a while now after reading some great reviews about her previous books so when I was sent her latest book Killer Hells to review I couldn't wait to get started but lets just say it was not what I was expecting!
Coco is just your average girl but very ambitious, when she lands a job working for the well known Victoria Glossop at a top Uk Fashion magazine her whole life turns upside down.
When Victoria manages to bag the job she has always dreamed of in New York Coco is flown out to join her but will Coco be able to climb the career ladder and will Victoria be able to hold onto her dream job?
This book is action packed there is so much going on and you never quite know what the next chapter will bring. I was engrossed in the storyline from the first chapter and I didn't put it down and so I ended up finishing it in a day.
There are so many characters in this book and even the characters that we only meet a handful of times have been developed well, there are characters you love and some you hate and others you are not quite sure until the twists start to occur.
There were many unpredicted twists and turns in this book and the suspense that was created in this book had you on the edge of your seat as there was no way of predicting what could happen next, but one thing I never expected was the hot and steamy sex scenes this definitely gives Fifty Shades a run for its money! I didn't find the sex scenes crude they were in context with the characters and the storylines surrounding them but they definitely left you hot under the collar!
With the story set in and around the fashion world there is plenty of glitz and glamour and rivalry so if you are looking for a compelling read that is stylish and steamy this is definitely your next read.
Summary: Stylish and steamy read!

Daumari's last post was on January 4th. If we have not heard from him by February 4th, I'll post on Gamer Connection for a replacement. Unless of course there is someone lurking on this thread who is interested.
Daumari's player is currently running a CotCT pbp HERE, so i know he is still around.
Maybe you can drop in on the OOC thread and remind him of this game?
So posted.
Gah! Thanks for pulling me back; I got so wrapped up in keeping my CotCT game going, getting repairs done at the house, and prepping for the school semester, that this character completely left my mind. I don't really know how I spaced things so badly.
I'll get reading and get back into things, if you'll still have me.
Great! Glad that you are back. Your companions were missing you. You are just in time... :)
Welcome back. You were missed.
I'll say! Let's get the carrion king!
Well it's good to be back. Though Bahir being taken down in one hit isn't exactly the return I expected.
Welcome back Daumari, good timing, he he.
In regards to the critical hit, I have no problem with Bahir being killed here. In one of my old 3.5 RL games, a critical hit from a gnoll ranger did my mage in, killed with one blow. That triggered some consequences which are still unfolding for his daughter...but I digress here. Giving us a chance to return the body to Kelmarane to be raised would be acceptable to me.
If you do decide to kill Bahir here, Sardaukar, I recommend having Bahir's player take over one of the NPC's temporarily (Haleen would be a good choice IMO), if he is OK with being raised later.
PS. If you are curious about who I am referring to, I will give you a hint. The mages name was Richardson...Ourson, he he.
I have no problem with Bahir being killed here.
Hmmmmm, I suspect we have a Carrion King spy in our midst ;p
But seriously, let's not get ahead of ourselves, you may have more than one body to deal with the way our typical luck and rolls seem to be going. Daumari can't take that kind of damage either and with a +18 or so you can bet there isn't going to be much missing. That on top of the fact our opponent seems to be just getting warmed up....sheesh...
Hehe, I know what you mean. If the dice continue to fall as they have thus far, Daumari's likely to follow Bahir in short order. Now I don't doubt the gnoll can be downed, but we might have to consider the possibility of the entire front line being decimated in the process.
Ordinarily I favor character death when it's called for. This goes for games I run, as well as any game I play in. That said, I have to admit the rolls comprising the strike that took Bahir down are rather extraordinary. Whatever course of action you decide to follow, Sardaukar, I know I'll have no problem with it. I say this even given Daumari's current position.
Here's the current status for Haleen for Bahir to run. I probably won't get to the next post until tonight. It's 6am here currently and I have to run off to work. She also has the Ring of the Ram on Efreat's list, 21 charges remain. Uses 3 charges per round to use at full strength. +9 ranged touch attack to hit, 3d6 damage, if hit within 30 feet gain free bull rush at CMB +19. (I was doing +11, but that was wrong. Didn't change outcome though as the dice always hit by long shot.)
Female human fighter 5 CN Medium humanoid Init +4; Senses Perception -1

While I appreciate the offer, I don't have the first inkling on Haleen's character and motivations, and am not really feeling inspired by her at the moment. So, in short, I don't really think I can role-play her. I am still mulling over what I should do now that Bahir is dead, both as a player and a character.
P.S. I am still somewhat in shock at his unavoidable and sudden demise. Yes, I know I could have just stayed quiet but that's not how I play. This campaign has been brutal to the front line guys so far.
... This campaign has been brutal to the front line guys so far.
I've noticed this as well. I don't know if it's a result of just incredibly strong opponents in the AP, or just typical opponents with greater than average dice rolls, paired with less than average rolls on our part. Whatever the reason may be, we have not been holding up well at all.
I don't mind taking a beating. It's what the front-line types are for. But it seems like a lot of things simply scoff at our armors, then drop mountains on us.
... I probably shouldn't put it that way when we're underneath a mountain surrounded by gnolls ...
I think the die roller just hasn't liked you guys...
You need this.
I think I am now beyond needing that shirt. ;p
I want such a shirt.
Daumari, if he survives, will find such a shirt in the next treasure hoard we find. He will wear it beneath is robes at all times.
All things considered, though, this particular course of events is a rather dramatic moment for Daumari. Bahir is really the only member of the group he considered a close friend, and now that friend has fallen brutally at the hands of a gnoll. Just as his mother was cut down when he was a child.
The size of this gnoll in relation to Daumari is even the same as those of the regular gnolls in his memories of the massacre. I apologize in advance if I play this encounter up too much.
After much deliberation, I have decided to leave Bahir's fate to the dice. Not the message board die roller, but real physical dice. Since the hit that potentially killed him was maximum critical damage done by the die roller, I decided to re-roll that damage. There is a chance with 3d12+48 and his hero's defiance roll of 8 that he could survive, though it is less than 50 percent. If he survives the re-roll, he can, at his option, be revived. Otherwise, he will have to hope that his corpse makes it back to Kelmarane where his comrades could seek out the high priest of the Sarenrae temple to raise him or Bahir can generate a new character that arrives in Kelmarane for whatever reason and joins the group.
The roll... clunk, clunk, clunk on the desk
3d12 + 48 - 8 = (3,8,1) + 48 - 8 = 52
With 42 hit points, that places Bahir at -10. Now I believe you still had a couple of points of injury from the previous battles that you never healed, which would put you at -13 and death. If we assume that you would have healed yourself before opening the door to an unknown danger, you can use up one of your lay on hands to be back to full health before being hit.
With Mah'ysa's positive channel energy for 9 points, the gnoll cleric's negative channel energy for 2 points, and Paellat's potion of cure moderate for 15 points, it puts you to 12 hit points and waking up.
And no, I did not fudge the die rolls.
First of all I would NEVER accuse you of fudging any die rolls. Not and expect to survive, he he. Still, such a near death experience would leave a mark, even on a paladin of Iomedae. I would like to see some aftereffects of such a close call with death here. maybe some other planar agency took an interest in this, and allowed Bahir to live...
Plus, there is the fact we are gonna be up to our elbows in gnolls here, so we certainly do need his help here.
You kidding? We downed the Carrion King. We can take 'em. :p
That gives me an idea...
Silly Bahir, you wouldn't go to hell immediately. You'd go to the Boneyard first. Pharasma would kick you around a bit, and only then you'd be on your way out. :p
This morning's snark has been brought to you by GoblinWorks name-brand Fireworks.
GoblinWorks It's not our fault you burned your house down.
I will be going out of town tomorrow morning, and unable to post through the weekend. I should be back no later than Monday night.
He's not exactly keen on the ins-and-outs of afterlife (that was covered in the holy reading course that he was daydreaming during). You did notice that his wisdom is somewhat.....challenged? I am guessing that is why Sarenrae herself shook her head at his lack thereof and boosted it up to a 9, just so he wouldn't embarrass her so much.
I can't use the ring; I'm already using a ring of protection +1, so it's up for grabs. I imagine we'll be selling the breastplate for whatever coin we can get for it.
Pae, Efreat, Mah'ysa, Haleen(?), and Hazreem can all use it. I think Pae should use it, as he is in the front of things usually.
I agree. Pae should get the ring.
Sounds good to me as well.
I love bane weapons, but they're just so situational; it's too bad the axe won't be of greater use to us. I'm guessing it's large as well, Sardaukar?
Anyone want it?
Actually, he was swinging a medium sized GreatAxe as a large creature. The pathfinder conversions I'm using for Legacy of Fire are messed up for this weapon, probably because of this. The original book said 2d6+XX damage (don't have it in front of me right now) and one conversion said 2d6+16 and the other said 1d12+16. At 2d6 instead of 1d12, the chance of doing maximum crit damage is extremely low (1 in thousands). But then add in the extra 2d6 for human bane, which isn't multiplied for crits. I can't find the conversion on damage for large creature using medium weapons. I would of just treated it as a medium creature using a small, which would make it 1d10 damage. But that battle is done and over, moving on...
Adding +1 Ring of Protection under Pae's list. Pae, don't forget to update your character sheet with the +1 AC.
Thanks for the ring every deflection bonus gratefully recieved
I can't find the conversion on damage for large creature using medium weapons. I would of just treated it as a medium creature using a small, which would make it 1d10 damage.
It doesn't change the weapon's damage in any way. However, by using a weapon sized incorrectly for the character or creature, a -2 penalty to the attack roll would result; such a penalty wouldn't have impacted the combat much anyway.
I imagine the reason for making the CKing's weapon medium was to throw the players a bone, since the armor would be too large for most groups to utilize.
According to PFRGP p. 459, magic clothing and jewelry usually resize for the wearer. Armor and weapons seem to be the exception. The question I put to our DM is whether a person with craft magic arms and armor could magically modify the size of armor and weapons?
It's the other way around, actually; clothing and jewelry is the exception. Magic items usually don't alter their size unless enchanted to do so specifically.
I've played both as written, and house-ruled that weapons and armor resize. The latter becomes extremely nice if the party includes small or large characters. In any case, neither ruling has seemed superior to me, and I've even tried both in games I've run. Ultimately, this one truly boils down to GM preference, even more so than most decisions.
From the background storyline, the Carrion King had the medium-sized GreatAxe prior to becoming large. So it used to be the right size for him when he was just a regular gnoll.
My understanding is that weapons don't resize and small sized characters generally need to buy upgrades or you find a way to place small items for those characters in the campaign. If I find opportunities to adjust treasure to small where it fits into the storyline and would be usable by our Halfling, I'll make that change. There will be opportunities to buy stuff up through 7th level at least.
The question I put to our DM is whether a person with craft magic arms and armor could magically modify the size of armor and weapons?
I would believe this would fall under the mending a broken arms/armor as you have to make significant changes to the armor to make the change just as if you were fixing it.
"You can also mend a broken magic weapon, suit of armor, or shield if it is one that you could make. Doing so costs half the raw materials and half the time it would take to craft that item in the first place."
Distraction (Su): At 1st level, a bard can use his performance to counter magic effects that depend on sight. Each round of the distraction, he makes a Perform (act, comedy, dance, or oratory) skill check. Any creature within 30 feet of the bard (including the bard himself) that is affected by an illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment) magical attack may use the bard's Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled, the Perform skill check proves to be higher. If a creature within range of the distraction is already under the effect of a noninstantaneous illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment) magical attack, it gains another saving throw against the effect each round it sees the distraction, but it must use the bard's Perform skill check result for the save. Distraction does not work on effects that don't allow saves. Distraction relies on visual components.
Based on the description above, distraction works against those affected by illusion attacks. The floating creatures are Rasts and used a special attack called "Paralyzing Gaze" that states on page 229 of Bestiary 2:
Paralyzing Gaze (Su) Paralyzed for 1d6 rounds, 30 feet, Fortitude (DC 14) negates. The save DC is Charisma-based.
This does not appear to be illusion based, nor are the paralyzed victims under the effects of a noninstantaneous magical attack. Unless you can convince me otherwise that Distraction works in this situation.
I would not want you to spend a second round attempting to perform a task that cannot possibly succeed. You could switch it to Inspire Courage, though that wastes the natural 20 since that doesn't require a roll. Fascinate doesn't work because the Rasts are in combat already. I've give you the natural 20 for a sling attack if you want to keep the roll (with possible crit).
Maplink no longer working for me
I must have failed on my cut and paste. Here's the current map link, though this may change once I update the map.
I am going to create a new profile and move all the campaign related information over to it. I'll include a link to the parent album there. So if I ever biff the map link again, you can always go there and use this one which will always work.
New profile created, using the Carrion King as my avatar. Details transferred to new profile and permanent map link included.

The Chameleoreptileon – Shapeshifting Shill of Illusory Change
by Zen Gardner
Every Amerikan President has been a doozie in his own way. The politics is all just hogwash but the real language they are speaking is a sight to behold. That's why so many actors become politicians. It's a perfect fit. The Bushes and Clinton were almost too easy to spot for many people. The thuggish Neocon Bush family has been very clear in their drive for global hegemony and the suppression of Americans and their rights, all while pretending to care for mainstream Americans.
That's where they got their camouflage and it was very effectively done.
Clinton was a one man circus of blatant drunken swagger as he did his masters' biddings with a smirk and a wink. An incredible self aggrandizing murderous sleaze and another emotionally sold prototype, perhaps testing the mass psychological waters for someone to come. How these crooks get not just one, but two terms to gloat, cheat, kill and bloviate about it is a remarkable feat of social engineering in itself.
But when it comes to a real super duper snow job of absolute lying bullshit while appearing smooth and honest you gotta hand it to Barry and the Banksters and his ZioCon "backup stingers". How this image with a programmable mouth, which is all he is, was catapulted into this untouchable throne of decadence, obfuscation of truth and absolute dearth of accountability and is firing off executive decrees as fast as he can read a teleprompter has been a hellish, sickening ride to behold from even before his coronation.
But it is oh so telling as to the state of humanity's ignorance of fundamental truths and to what extent they are being manipulated.
Hope and Belief
The mantra of hope and change can sound so positive and promising. That's why almost every politician, executive or religious leader promises them. The right-left ping pong paradigm boys love to play with these, using lies, truths, half-truths and total fabrications. The so-called conservatives will call for "let's get America back" while the liberal left says "it's time for a change and progressive thinking", both using elements of obvious problems they have no intention of slving, such as the fairy tale false promise regarding a true situation to be addressed in the picture above. Also known as B.S.
All of which he obviously didn't intend to do and instead did the opposite. But who's looking?
Both political sides are basically ideologues draining and distracting the mass mind with the charade of participation in the ruling process. There clearly has not been any change of any sort for many decades of administrations. It's a direct dive to the bottom for America while the rich skim off all the cream they can. They even have a very clever security-sounding name for it: continuity of government.
Exactly. In plain sight.
But hope is a real slippery idea. That's why I avoid using that word or concept, and if it pops into my lexicon I'll check carefully what prompted it and how to clearly state what I'm trying to say or conceive. Same with this super subjective "believe" concept. What do these words really mean?
With hope either you think something might happen, are expecting to happen or vaguely want to happen. But just the word hope immediately adds a carousel of confusing emotional baggage. It's flighty, nondescript and one of the most easily misled emotions with all kinds of previous layers of imprints all over it for each individual. It also displaces action. If you're hoping for something to happen the tendency is to then let things take their course without your participation as you've shot your so-called affirmative energy wad by making some air-fairy make believe projection into nowhere.
Not always but this is way too often the case, which you have to realize is a deliberately entrained response behavior.
Hope and belief are really closely related. If you say you believe something, do you really have faith and hence knowledge that it is so, or are you just hoping it is, to fit some expectation, categorization process or way of thinking that needs propping up? It can be a lot of things, but again it is a vague, nondescript and easily misconstrued and potentially extremely misleading and manipulated word and psychological emotion.
And as far as real change goes: there clearly has not been any change of direction, goal or motive of any sort for many decades of US administrations except window dressing and pointless pomp. It's been a direct dive to the bottom for Americans while the rich skim off all the cream they can as the country plummets into disintegrated oblivion, all the while militarily and economically spreading its globalist hegemony as fast as it can and giving itself fully to the new world agenda.
Not exactly the American Dream.
Our Stunted Religious World of Superduperstition
When it comes to believing, either you know it or you don't. When someone has experiential faith, at whatever level, I respect that as their personal knowledge. When you admit you don't know something but are only "hoping" or "believing" it's true, you go and find if it's so or not if you're still spiritually alive. You can't just sit in a church pew saying you believe in God and hope something takes root if you're truly conscious.
But millions of people do exactly that. In fact, it's amazing how many people use religion and belief systems as a sort of insurance policy. They figure better to be safe in case there is this judge in the afterlife who's gonna punish me for NOT believing and at least giving "him and his family", whomever they may be, some lip service.
Such is the way or our very religious – in fact superstitious – world.
Notice superstition is no longer decried as it used to be. It's way too apt for today's mind-controlled world and its credos. Interestingly and appropriately enough, superstition is defined as:
1. An irrational belief that an object, action, or circumstance not logically related to a course of events influences its outcome.
a. A belief, practice, or rite irrationally maintained by ignorance of the laws of nature or by faith in magic or chance.b. A fearful or abject state of mind resulting from such ignorance or irrationality.c. Idolatry.
Sounds almost medieval, doesn't it? This arbitrary definition summons the prejudiced, relativistic mindset of the inquisition. This puts intuition, quantum physics, metaphysics, spirituality et all in the weirdy bin. Then it vaguely refers to the genuinely disempowering aspects of ignorance and fear as the culprits, rather than results following whichever barrage of input of input you choose.
Mindscrew stuff.
Make up your mind. As usual, the so-called "authorities'" definitions are completely wrong, and/or not clear at all and are again, easy to manipulate.
The Religion Cage
Besides the outright god or gods-worshipping related meanings, religion according to Merriam-Webster is:
a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices
If that isn't about as broad as you can get. That's talking about your own personal set or institutionalized system. Isn't that true about anyone's real religion? How and why do they operate? All of us were indoctrinated and groomed with all kinds of sets and subsets of beliefs, attitudes, habits, rituals and behaviors. They can be social, they can be intellectual, they can be spiritual. And they can externalize into the political.
Now back off for a second and look at the Obama phenomenon. Or Beatlemania for that matter. Both strong virtually religious beliefs that bore deep into the core of swept up individuals via emotional manipulation.
You can add social customs in there to this list, as well as pet theories, educational methodologies and schools of thought, just about any potentially limiting cluster of ideas that we allow to solidify into a controlling and limiting system of any sort. And these patterns are usually rigorously reinforced either by ourselves or controlling hierarchical institutions. When you hear someone say "I'm a so-and-so.." you've met someone in a belief system trap.
And that's exactly what they're there for. To ensnare, entrap, vamp your energy and defuse you from your immensely powerful consciousness and connection with Universe.
Get Free and Stay Free
The key to any of this empowering information is finding it out for yourself. It needs to be a genuine part of your reality so until it is and you've examined this experientially don't take anyone's word for it. That totally defeats the process. Conscious awareness is not another method of structured thinking or pablemized force-fed understanding, it is the exact opposite. It's the deconstruction of everything false. In the words of Osho:
"Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It's seeing through the facade of pretence. It's the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true."
We have to come to these discoveries by ourselves. The imposed illusory prison we live in that we call the matrix for convenience's sake is like a multi-dimensional prison of bar codes. If you don't transcend their vibration you're subject to their illusory constraints, which are everywhere on many levels. When we transcend in our understanding and spirit we can pass through any illusory restriction they throw at us like walking through walls or jail bars.
And the beauty is it only gets better, no matter how much they thunder and rage against this awakening. It is happening on a massive scale and will continue to inspire and surprise us with new outcroppings continually and keep reminding us just how powerful a chain reaction we're in the midst of!
Keep the vibrations high and alive. Live and love from the heart. Everything else falls into place.
Much love, Zen
[Special thanks to Edna and Steve for their images. Terrific!]

Good one Zen. When you paint such vivid pictures, one cannot help but notice that the world we find ourselves in is all topsy turvy. It's like a Twilight Zone episode, where all the people are hypnotized in a trance, But you are not hypnotized and can see the insanity. Interesting journey.

If you can dedicate yourself., Watch Know Your enemy on youtube its 77 parts but this is the real deal. Catholic church is not christian, most christians haven't actually been born again, giving the rest a bad name. Whats new isn't true and what true isn't new.

I can't believe you qouted Osho, the lying scum bag who poisoned salad bars in Oregon back ithe 1980′s. My boyfriend's (at the time) mother almost died of salmonella. The Bagwan shree Rajneesh reinvented himself as "Osho" after he was deported. The guy was as evil as they come. By their fruits you will know them. When you posted that piece by Shirley Maclean (the ultimate insider) I wondered, put I gave you the benefit of the doubt. Now I'm just wondering what's up at this site. The New Age is the worst mind-prison there is.

Kris, just because someone quotes a person, it doesn't mean that he may agree with everything they say or do. If I quote Thomas Jefferson, that does not mean that I agree with everything he said or did. One can even find jewels in the garbage heap.

by Kris on October 18
Just a short re-cap of the legacy of Osho and his mind-controlled followers in Oregon: Antelope was the closest town to the old Big Muddy Ranch when the rajneeshees took it over. I knew people living in Antelope at the time. I have hiked the lovely high desert land of the Big Muddy before and after Osho owned it. in fact, two years ago I went back to hike it again, and only now, 28 years later, is the foul resonance of the rajneeshees starting to dissipate, and the former beautiful desert energy to return
Osho bussed thousands of street people into Rajneeshpurum and registered them to vote so he could take over Antelope. After the election, he kicked them out, leaving them to find their own way back to cities in the West. Several of these "voters" were found frozen to death in little towns on Mt. Hood, as they hitched over the Cascades to Portland. It was winter at the time. Osho turned Antelope City Park into a nude park just to fuck with the locals. And who needs 94 Rolls-Royce cars, especially when the only place to drive them are gravel roads used for moving cattle?
As you say, one of the traits of the Elite are morphing personas and changing history. It's like Osho's bad deeds have been erased from the blackboard. The chameleon has morphed from the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh into the "sage' Osho with followers who still drink his Kool-Aid. No-one accomplishes this without powerful help from the top. I witnessed these events close-up, and I have reason to believe Rajneeshpurum was an MK-Ultra project.
At the Wasco County Courthouse there is a beautiful bronze statue of an Antelope, dedicated to all those harmed or killed by Osho and his deranged followers. Zen, I think you need to sharpen your discernment skills. Are you not just wondering… even a wee bit… why Eckhart Tolle is best buds with Oprah Winfrey? This woman is the public face of the Elite. She was the one Shirley Maclaine passed her torch to. The New Age has been a psy-op since it's inception.

Thanks for this inspiring piece of writing! I have waited a long time for the bloggers I have come to respect to take on the h word and expose it for the disempowerment it represents!
Hope concidered by many the best part of being human is imho simultaniously the worst part of being human. It 'displaces action' indeed! How has a species become so enamored by such a wasteful and silly concept as this disabiling word? Why do we give it so much power and then give away our sence of discernment as well if somebody simply says they come from a place called that, or has the audacity for it ?!!
You got to hand it to the handelers (give it up for them as they say in comedy clubs, cause thats what we did!). They pulled off the pie'ce de re'sistance (pardon my french) when they got humanity to not only bite the big hope apple but got them to fight to keep hope alive for ever and ever and ever…..amen
Hope has served its purpose now let us allow it its rightful place, somewhere in our fond memory where we keep things like Santa, the tooth fairy, uncorruptable leaders and military intelligence. Then maybe we will discover that the now is a pretty safe and fun place to be after all and our creator, whom ever we think em to be, never wanted it any other way!!
We are human beings, and not human hopings……and
I thank you for your being, will iam
by Zen Gardner on October 17
Wow, Will, terrific piece there!! Had me lol with the Santa rant run – fun with oxymorons with military intelligence – need to compile a list some time….
Great thoughts – yeah, been wanting to do more on hope for a while…I've hit on it a few times but when Edna sent me that chameleon pic she did it just begged for it – ha!! All the best!-
by will on October 17
Yeah I 'hope' you do some more on hope thing also!! (only kidding of course)
But good luck if you do cause the diffi cult ist thing of all is getting people to give back what they think is theirs….hope. I mean they (we) "own that, and aint nobody gonna take that away from us….. I mean isnt that what all this fighting is for?…. I mean Isnt that why we need leaders in the first place??!
"Give up hope!! How dare you!!… Blasphemy!! etc etc etc…." You may find yourself humming that crusify chorus from JC Super Star the rest of the day.
The best illusion is to get your subject to not only believe the illusion but fight for the right to keep the illusion as well. The gift of hope has resigned humanity to fight for its limitations ever since…and if you fight long enough and hard enough for something, guess what? ….. it is yours!!
I say lets get a gift campaign going and give this hope thing back to its rightful owners so that as the holiday season approaches they can spend the next eternity enjoying what was theirs to begin with.
I say make this a true giving season and give Caesar what is Caesar's.. cheers, will iam
by Zen Gardner on October 17

by will iam on October 23
Hmm Bob Hope MK agent. Hadnt heard that one so I had to look it up. If its true it would bring new meaning to "lets bring Hope to the dupes er I mean hope to the troops"
I always wondered as a kid what all those camera angles and shots were about, and no matter what camera was on him there would be Bob looking right into it with his next one liner. Could there have been some hypnosis experiment going on?
Check out Icke today he has a very interesting video shot of the house stenographer. You think we are seeing an MK agent in action?
by Espico on October 17
Hope and Believe are words so ingrained in to our existence such that it will be abnormal if a scientist does not use the words to draw a professional research-bcked conclusion. These are conjecture-based words but the entire world (matrix) reality is based on these two words. It makes it so difficult to present concrete facts to someone especially if you don't employ these two words. Great post Zen.
by Zen Gardner on October 17
So true. When you keep your filter on for those words it's remarkable how much you see them woven into the fabric. Sly…

"it's like an opium dream

by Randall on October 17
Bravo Zen!! This piece is an important canvass coverage…broad in its eyelight perspective, yet logically presenting the stumbling blocks, hope and faith, that typically prevent most from further inquiry.
"In fact, it's amazing how many people use religion and belief systems as a sort of insurance policy". Now there's a power punching one liner for the proselytizing package. Ha…lip smacking good! If logic is going to be used to find our destiny in the future we need only to look at the past. Much like a boat wake, we can see what has been, and is being "churned up" as opposed to hoping or believing what shore or shoal the bow will arrive at next.
Logic is a sort of auto-tool for critical thinking. While it may appear to "flame out" to arrive at a conclusion, it is best used to determine that there are missing components, thus rendering the user to adhere to something abstract to "fill in the blanks" and fortify ones comfort zone. That is the business of religion.
Good stuff Zen!
by Zen Gardner on October 17
There's so much that can be said on this subject of hope, faith and belief. I didn't mention how faith, which is supposed to be a knowing, is now an extension of hope. "What faith are you?" comes to mind, if you want a real stoner to think about…ha!
by Randall on October 17
Yeah I hear ya'. I remember in Sunday Skull class they told us the definition of faith: The substance of things hoped for. I swallowed it hook, line and stinker and didn't have a clue as to what I thought I understood. What a dumbass…….HA!
by Heather on October 17
Ha! Hope and Belief. Those two words have always shut me down. I was programmed, so I used them.
Someone once said – I hope you believe me when I say how important you are to me, but I have to go.
You hope… you want me to believe… but your actions speak louder than those words.
They inspire such disempowerment… sucks the energetic power out of any words used with them.
I will just sit right here and believe that my hope will be enough… It won't. I am a fuzzy lady, and the fuzzy from hope and belief… it is to make you lie down and take what comes.-
by Randall on October 17
Heather gives Randall good laugh…..so right on….LOL.
I believe in hope and faith religiously.
It is my belief that your faith will give you hope.
Your faith is my hope…I believe.
Believe in hope and have faith.
Faithful believers have hope.
Hopeful believers have faith
Only those who believe will have faith in their hope.I gotta' stop…ya' got me laughing…….
by Heather on October 17
Randall gives right back to Heather! Ha!
It was not until I hung out with the hopeless that I became faithless and I do not believe that to be bad. I know it to be right.

* "How's that 'hopey- changey' thing workin out for ya'all in La-la Land?"….Here… have anther hit of 'Hopium'…"Then you can tell me your dreams & I'll tell you mine"…because you gotta be asleep & dreaming to believe it…as the stockbrokers dive from the 13th floor.
by Kitty on October 17
Yes Heather , Hope and belief are systems to induce apathy and acceptance of the unacceptable .
Faith , well it's often called blind and for good reason .
We are lead by faith into one deception after another not taking the ultimate responsibility for our actions ourselves , always giving that power to another , whether it be the priest or politician .
Knowledge or Gnosis is about us taking responsibility both in the spiritual and temporal world for our actions and thought . We can then as creators create our world as we wish , we need no one to intercess for us or create for us . That's where we need to be now , more than ever . Eyes wide open , looking inward to the knowledge we have of self it's part of our divine right . When we acknowledge this and take responsibility then we can manifest this place that has always been there .-
by Heather on October 17
Kitty, yes! People have to tickle their soul. Then play with the dark and light until they see the experience in it all. Become a child again with the skill of imagination and be a mature soul to create that which truly reflects the lessons learned… simple, huh? I am up for it! XXXXX – Heather
by Kitty on October 18
I love that Heather , 'tickle their soul ', !!! It sounds fun just as it should be .
Finding that inner child we seem to neglect is just part of our connecting or reconnecting
to our divine self . And it should be a joy and fun , no hair shirts for me !!
I am all for it too, much love , Kitty XxXX
by jenX on October 17
Seems kind of extreme. I'm trying to picture any human living without any hopes or beliefs, can't quite manage it. fwiw I believe in physics (the complete physics across all dimensions that drives creation).
