Simbi water spirits are revered in Hoodoo originating from Central African spiritual practices. When Africans were enslaved in the United States, they blended African spiritual beliefs with Christian baptismal practices. Enslaved African Americans prayed to Simbi water spirits during their baptismal services. In 1998, in a historic house in Annapolis, Maryland called the Brice House archaeologists unearthed Hoodoo artifacts inside the house that linked to the Kongo people. These artifacts are the continued practice of the Kongo's minkisi and nkisi culture in the United States brought over by enslaved Africans. For example, archeologists found artifacts used by enslaved African Americans to control spirits by housing spirits inside caches or nkisi bundles. These spirits inside objects were placed in secret locations to protect an area or bring harm to slaveholders. "In their physical manifestations, minkisi (nkisi) are sacred objects that embody spiritual beings and generally take the form of a container such as a gourd, pot, bag, or snail shell. Medicines that provide the minkisi with power, such as chalk, nuts, plants, soil, stones, and charcoal, are placed in the container." Nkisi bundles were found in other plantations in Virginia and Maryland. For example, nkisi bundles were found for the purpose of healing or misfortune. Archeologists found objects believed by the enslaved African American population in Virginia and Maryland to have spiritual power, such as coins, crystals, roots, fingernail clippings, crab claws, beads, iron, bones, and other items assembled together inside a bundle to conjure a specific result for either protection or healing. These items were hidden inside slaves' dwellings. These practices were concealed from slaveholders.

In Darrow, Louisiana at the Ashland-Belle Helene Plantation historians and archeologists unearthed Kongo and Central African practices inside slave cabins. Enslaved Africans in Louisiana conjured the spirits of Kongo ancestors and water spirits by using seashells. Other charms were found in several slave cabins, such as silver coins, beads, polished stones, bones, and were made into necklaces or worn in their pockets for protection. These artifacts provided examples of African rituals at Ashland Plantation. Slaveholders tried to stop African practices among their slaves, but enslaved African Americans disguised their rituals by using American materials and applying an African interpretation to them and hiding the charms in their pockets and making them into necklaces concealing these practices from their slaveholders. In Talbot County, Maryland at the Wye House plantation where Frederick Douglass was enslaved in his youth, Kongo related artifacts were found. Enslaved African Americans created items to ward off evil spirits by creating a Hoodoo bundle near the entrances to chimneys which was believed to be where spirits enter. The Hoodoo bundle contained pieces of iron and a horse shoe. Enslaved African Americans put eyelets on shoes and boots to trap spirits. Archaeologists also found small carved wooden faces. The wooden carvings had two faces carved into them on both sides which were interpreted to mean an African American conjurer who was a two-headed doctor. Two-headed doctors in Hoodoo means a conjurer who can see into the future and has knowledge about spirits and things unknown.

At Levi Jordan Plantation in Brazoria, Texas near the Gulf Coast, researchers suggests the plantation owner Levi Jordan may have transported captive Africans from Cuba back to his plantation in Texas. These captive Africans practiced a Bantu-Kongo religion in Cuba, and researchers excavated Kongo related artifacts at the site. For example, archeologists found in one of the cabins called the "curer's cabin" remains of an nkisi nkondi with iron wedges driven into the figure to activate its spirit. Researchers found a Kongo bilongo which enslaved African Americans created using materials from white porcelain creating a doll figure. In the western section of the cabin they found iron kettles and iron chain fragments. Researchers suggests the western section of the cabin was an altar to the Kongo spirit Zarabanda

Dillon Cossey

A 14-year-old boy who admitted that he had planned a Columbine-style attack on a suburban Philadelphia high school was sentenced Wednesday to up to seven years in a juvenile treatment center.

The boy, Dillon Cossey, was remaining at the center, in Western Pennsylvania, until he turned 21, unless the courts deem he has been sufficiently rehabilitated before then, according to the ruling by Judge Paul W. Tressler of the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas.

Dillon apologized in court for amassing a cache of weapons and plotting the assault on the school: Plymouth Whitemarsh High School in Plymouth Meeting. He was arrested in October. The authorities do not think he was close to acting on his plan; he had no ammunition.

“I am very sorry, but I do want to get help,” Dillon told the judge. “I also hope that me and my family as a whole can get help.”

Judge Tressler placed much of the blame for the boy’s troubles on his mother, Michele Cossey. He criticized her as doting on Dillon to the point of creating an “unhealthy relationship,” and as instilling in him a “me and Mom against the world” attitude.

“This kid has been so totally desocialized, he has no friends,” Judge Tressler said.

Looking directly at Ms. Cossey, he said: “You want this kid dependent on you? Go buy a dog, go buy a pet.”

The authorities have accused Ms. Cossey of helping Dillon build his weapons stash. She is awaiting trial on charges of illegally buying her son a .22-caliber handgun, a .22-caliber rifle and a 9-millimeter semiautomatic rifle.

Dillon, who was home-schooled, last attended public school in the seventh grade. He told a friend that he wanted to pull off an attack similar to the 1999 assault on Columbine High School in Colorado because “the world would be better off without bullies,” prosecutors said.

The friend then told the authorities, who searched the Cosseys’ home in Plymouth Township on Oct. 11. They found the 9-millimeter rifle, about 30 air-powered guns modeled to look like higher-powered weapons, swords, knives, a bomb-making book, videos of the Columbine attack and violence-filled notebooks. Dillon testified Wednesday that he had been saving the guns for target practice.

He admitted in juvenile court Oct. 26 that he had committed three felonies: criminal solicitation, risking a catastrophe and possession of an instrument of crime.

The county district attorney, Bruce L. Castor Jr., called the police and school officials to testify Wednesday about how the case had drained resources and created fear in the community.

“It raised the specter of everyone’s worst nightmare,” said Marc Orlow, the board president of the Colonial School District, which includes Plymouth Whitemarsh High School.

The boy’s father defended his son Wednesday and said he accepted responsibility as a parent.

“Dillon has a kind heart,” Frank Cossey testified. “He is a good person. He does need help.”

Mr. Cossey added: “We need help. As parents we made some wrong and bad decisions.”

The judge ordered mental evaluations for both parents. Ms. Cossey cried as Judge Tressler made clear that reuniting Dillon with his parents would depend as much on their efforts as it would on the boy’s own rehabilitation.

''A Better Path.''

October 7, 2014 ABC News channel releases the video on their webpage called ''A Better Path'' which is Dillon Cossey talking about his own experience and how other people can live better lives.

Sadly, the video on the webpage doesnt seem to work anymore but i found it on this video right here.

Today we venerate Hoodoo Saint Harriet Ross Tubman aka Black Moses on the 110th anniversary of her passing🕊

Whew! A legendary Freedom Fighter, Mama Moses wore many decorated crowns as a mammoth Abolitionist, chief Conductor on the Underground Railroad, an expert Hunte and Lumberjack, a Nurse, an armed scout & spy for the Union Army during the Civil War - becoming the 1st Woman to ever spearhead an armed military assault. Later, she opened her door to the elderly, sick, & disabled, and advocated for them until her death.

Born Araminta "Minty" Ross as the middle child of 9 siblings to enslaved parents on a plantation in Dorchester County, MD, she suffered a massive blow to the head that would spur a lifetime of seizures, headaches, deep slumbers, & visions. She went on to marry a "Free" man by the surname of Tubman & took on her mother's first given name, "Harriet". In 1849, her husband, parents, & siblings were set to be split up & sold off. Under the cover of darkness, she fled the plantation solo on foot and followed the North Star to escape the jaws of slavery by way of Philadelphia, PA. She'd survive13-19 rescue missions back into the Antebellum South, liberating over 300 souls, as the most infamous Conductor on the Underground Railroad who, over the span of a decade, had "never lost a single passenger", which dubbed her the nickname, "Moses". The bounty for her life maxed out at $40K. Freedom wasn't free & Mama Moses never hesitated to remind her passengers of that. She carried herbs to silence a crying baby and pulled a gun on any cowardly man who might give away their position.

"You'll be Free or Die. " - Mama Moses to her passengers on the Underground Railroad.

Venerated as a Hoodoo Saint to many, Mama Moses was a Seer, a Clairvoyant Dreamer, Dream Interpreter, a Revolutionary Conjurer Woman & Rootworker - born to parents of the same cloth. She received Divine messages & Ancestral knowledge/wisedom through prophetic visions & dreams. Mama Moses proudly attributed her unparalleled death defying success to her Divine guidance, Conjure, Rootwork, intuitive gifts & her faithful willingness to trust/follow them.

Folks have a tendency to grossly undermine, if not outright ignore, the significant pillars that Hoodoo Cosmology, Religion, & Tradition played in her life and in her fight for freedom. Recently, archeologists uncovered her "spirit cache" at her family's home in Maryland; these were some of the Blackbelt Hoodoo staples of her time including: glass bottles - for protection against evil spirits, a figurine made it iron nails - possibly a something akin to an Nkisi, a copper button, perfume bottle topper, and other red & blue items.

Mama Moses transitioned peaceful & free at her home/on her land in Auburn, NY where she is rests at the cemetery in Auburn, NY. She is still expected to be immortalized on the $20 bill USD, however that promise has yet to be met.

We pour libations & give Mama Moses her 💐 for her bravery & selfless service. May she bless the elderly, disabled, young, women, & Workers who seek/fight for freedom.

Offering suggestions: Milk, Apples, & Orange flowers

...The case took a wrong turn when charges were filed against a couple who stumbled upon the burglars when they came to the house to bring the murdered man a pecan pie.....

Martin Cameron Bond, Utah inmate 211601, born 1989. incarceration intake in 2013 at age 25, sentenced to life

Murder

In March 2013, Martin Cameron Bond knew his sentence before he walked into American Fork's 4th District courthouse: life without the possibility of parole.

He had agreed to the sentence to escape the death penalty in the event a jury found him guilty of aggravated murder in the 2009 death of retired Brigham Young University professor Kay Mortensen. That jury verdict came on Jan. 18, 2013. 

But the stipulation didn't stop the 25-year-old from asking 4th District Judge Thomas Low to sentence him to 25 years to life, which offered the possibility of parole.

"I don't use drugs, I don't drink," said the shackled killer, dressed in a red jumpsuit. "I don't use tobacco products... I always thought Corrections was for rehabilitation."

Bond asked the judge to allow the parole board to determine whether he was "worthy of a second chance." But Low said his hands were tied and sentenced Bond to spend the rest of his life in the Utah State Prison.

"Fair enough, your honor," Bond said before being led back into a holding cell. "Thank you."

Prosecutors have said Bond and an accomplice, Benjamin David Rettig (Utah inmate 203136), killed Mortensen to get the cache of guns he kept in his Payson home. The professor was found kneeling over his bathtub, his throat cut, a stab wound in his neck.

The case initially took a wrong turn when charges were filed against Roger Mortensen and his wife, Pamela Mortensen, who stumbled upon the burglars when they came to the house to bring Mortensen a pecan pie.

The couple were tied up but eventually freed themselves and called for help when they found Mortensen's body. Police initially didn't believe their story, however, and the couple were held in jail for five months and indicted by a grand jury before Bond's ex-wife tipped police.

Rettig — who is serving 25 years to life in prison — pleaded guilty in 2011 to aggravated murder and aggravated kidnapping for his part in the slaying. Bond was found guilty of aggravated murder, three counts of aggravated kidnapping, and one count each of aggravated burglary and aggravated robbery.

Bond apologized to Mortensen's family, calling the murder "a horrible tragedy that shouldn't have occurred."

Emotions remain volatile among some of Pamela and Roger Mortensen's friends and family, who are still upset over the couple's arrest and say the grand jury system needs to be revamped. Donna Rissinger, Pamela Mortensen's mother, told media reporters that the couple has never received restitution for the wrongful arrests, although they had to pay for attorneys and their cars were repossessed.

Deputy Utah County Attorney Tim Taylor said the decision to arrest the couple was based on evidence they had at the time.

"When you go back three years ago, we thought we were making the right decision," Taylor said.

King Stephen 12th Century Rare Penny Hoard Found in England

An unnamed metal detectorist recently discovered a scarce collection of 12th-century silver pennies near the village of Wymondham in the county of Norfolk in eastern England.

This valuable cache of coins included seven pieces minted during the reign of King Stephen and two more dated to the reigns of Stephen’s successors, Henry II and III.

A grandson of William the Conqueror, Stephen took the throne on the death of King Henry I. However most of his reign was spent in a bitter civil war between him and his rival for the throne, Henry’s daughter Matilda.

The find is made up of two pennies, three cut halfpennies and two cut quarters of pennies from Stephen’s reign, as well as two cut quarters of short cross pennies from Henry II and Henry III’s reigns.

The discovery of pennies dating back to King Stephen’s reign is especially noteworthy, as these silver pieces are among the hardest to find of all medieval coins.

The Norfolk Historic Environment Service’s numismatist (coin expert) Adrian Marsden announced the discovery of this remarkable collection of rare coins.

In an interview with the BBC, expressed his opinion that the coins minted during King Stephen’s time had been carried together inside a coin purse, while the other two silver pieces had been lost separately at a later time by another individual.

“I suspect this is a purse loss because you’ve got chopped halves and quarters. With a hoard, you hide the best coins you’ve got,” Dr Marsden said.

The Norman Conquest in 1066 destroyed Anglo-Saxon England’s “very monetised and sophisticated economy… setting the country back at least 100 years,” he said.

When money was scarce in the 11th and 12th centuries, pure silver pennies were crudely chopped into pieces of varying sizes to “reinflate” the money supply (put more money in circulation). Because new coins were not being minted in large quantities during King Stephen’s 12th-century reign, the newly discovered coins are an unusual and thus valuable discovery, even in their less-than-perfect condition.

Sims 3 Memory Freer

Been kinda busy so I haven't had any sims3 time lately :( but I'm back at it and lookin' at Error 12 again, this time with an ASI file you can use!

Here is a link to the memory "freer", spoilers, it doesn't really free memory. Please read the readme, but basically it just shows a message box/alert when you're getting close to the cap, and has a hotkey (f8) for setting max detail lots to 0 (sometimes helps free memory in a pinch).

To use it you'll either need the smooth patches ASI loader or dxwrapper's (recommended), then just pop it into your Bin directory (make sure LoadPlugins is set to 1 if you're using dxwrapper). I'm also going to update my performance tweaks post to fix some of the now-inaccurate information, but most of the stuff there I still recommend (just not dxvk).

If anyone knows anything that triggers a purge/cleanup lmk! It would fix literally all of this. I've tried traveling to other maps, entering into various editors, changing settings, chanting hymns etc, but nothing seems to work.

Unfortunately nothing I've tried on the memory-freeing front has really panned out, but I still have some avenues that I want to check out. The issue seems to be lot objects not being fully unloaded once the lot is no longer high-detail loaded, which causes memory to balloon over time as more lots are detail loaded.

Here's some things I've tried, in typical rambling fashion, a lot of this will be meaningless to 99% of people:

DXVK…. Nooooooo…. It seems like it does increase overall memory usage. I'm not sure if I've just stuffed a config option up or something, but it seems to have a substantial impact. I'd recommend just sticking with d9 for now, or using dxwrappers 3D9On12 (idk if it actually works tho)

HeapCompact/Clearing working set. Clearing the working set will let you save, however it wont actually remove that memory, you'll just crash instead of getting an Error 12

Obvious memory leaks. Sadly every alloc has a free assigned to it, so there's no easy, obvious memory leaks.

Setting D3DPOOL to DEFAULT, game no like, textures don't display

Manually clearing textures. Kind of worked, but there's no real way to selectively know which textures are safe to unload, because the game often reports things wrong. I might revisit this failing everything else

Deleting cache files/save cleaning. Not a fan, doesn't fix the issue, merely delays it and makes your game look like glitchy garbage in the meantime. If you're going to clean your save, just delete the _objects file in WorldCaches and then mark it as read only. The sims one isn't worth the limbless horrors that await you, and sims load in much faster than objects, which can sit grey'd for minutes (or until you save your game and they all load in at once and crash you)

Various config options and settings. I did find some neat hidden options and some useful settings, but nothing that really has a huge impact. I found ForceHighLODObjects which is what I was looking for in my initial performance tweaks post, which basically cures stutter, at the cost of much higher memory usage. Useless until there's an object free-ing fix, and even then probably a very bad idea on maps like Alpine County.

Anywho, that's it for this post. Remember to always save in the map screen!

9, 11, and 17 for my favorite jacobs psychological torture victim lucky pls

Lucky my best friend Lucky

9. How do they feel about the preppers? Preppers are just part of the Hope County ecosystem. Lucky never put much stock in all the end-of-civilization talk, but ultimately never felt one way or another about them as a whole. Since Lucky's always tramping around in the woods, they've definitely had run-ins with folks stocking their bunkers or hunting for food. Lucky's amicable, but some have been less than friendly and run them off. There's something appealing about stashing food and supplies out where no one can find 'em, though, so Lucky's got a couple little caches hidden around the Holland Valley. Sometimes squirrels get into their snack stashes, though.

11. First thoughts on the Seed family? Lucky thought they were squares, but generally nice folks. Typical church people, like so many around the valley. Lucky's always been a little dodgy around religious leaders, but when Joseph was cozied up with Pastor Jerome, it made Lucky feel like he was safe and trustworthy. Every now and then the Seeds would drop in on the Silver Lake Trailer Park to mingle with the community - usually Joseph and/or John - so Lucky got used to seeing them around. Lucky and Leland's family issues were well-known around town, and John Seed was the first Seed who personally approached Lucky about it. He didn't pry, but he seemed to understand what the siblings were going through, on a personal level. And Lucky thought he looked cool. The designer jacket looked very chic. 17. From the White Tail militia which one they get along with?

Crystal Jones was Lucky's first real kiss. It was at a party in the woods when they were teenagers. They never dated or anything, but they've always been friendly. They see Wheaty around here and there, but they don't run in the same circles so they don't know him well. The first time they ever really talked, Lucky told Wheaty they were an unironic Limp Bizkit fan so that's probably why Wheaty doesn't really seek them out to chat up when they're at the same get-together.

I'm Blaming the Full Moon

I posted twice here and it vanished. I double and tripled checked that I hadn't accidentally saved them as drafts instead of posting, but nope. I guess my boring little posts are just floating around out there with the rest of the space junk. Little words and photos that extraterrestrials won't understand. That's more fun to think about than the fact that the Tumblr server had a glitch and my posts just bounced off. I don't know how any of that works, so floating in space still seems like the more realistic option. BUT, I'm here, ready and willing to try again. I've spent a lovely couple of days puttering around the house. I put some mums out and I'm going to will them to live while we're gone. I just couldn't wait. Tomorrow I'll probably tidy up the yard a bit more in preparation for full blown fall. I imagine that by the time we return we'll see more color in the trees, we're seeing hints right now. Exciting!

On Monday morning we'll fly out of Baltimore, land in Toronto, then take off again for Dublin. We'll arrive in Dublin early Tuesday morning and shenanigans shall commence. We'll do a clockwise tour of the Emerald Isle. After a day in Dublin we'll head down the east coast to Wexford and Waterford, then turn west and head to County Kerry, Killarney, and finally Killorglin where our Air BnB is located. That will be our base for exploring the Dingle Peninsula, Ring of Kerry, and the Aran Islands. After about a week of that we'll say goodbye to Killorglin and head north to Galway (and points in between) for a bit and see what there is to see. Finally we'll leave Galway to head east toward Dublin again, visiting the Hill of Tara and anything else that caches our fancy. One last day in Dublin and then we'll wing our way homeward. I'm expecting to fall in love with the country. Mickey may have to drag my kicking and screaming onto the plane home. I'm packed, the house is clean, and we have a kitty sitter who will be popping in. I'll take the ol' laptop along and hopefully post a few times from the trip. If nothing else I can share some pics. Stay tuned for missives from Ireland! Stay safe, stay well. XOXO, Nancy
