hey watzup Stephen? long time mo see.

It's said that peper-soup prepeared using a red-necked agama lizard is a good cure for chronic chesty coughs and asthma. How true is this, and does anyone have the authentic recipe?

I think it will realy help a lot of asthma patients.

You've not had too much untill you've had one over a bushel.
Enjoy.

Gari is a coarse flour made from grated cassava. Its a regular staple here in Nigeria. You get eba by stiringgari in hot water. It forms a nice sticky lump to be eaten with soup.
Feshelo is an atempt to make eba with cold water. It doesn't stick. So you need to just keep adding more gari and compacting until you get something you can mould.
It's just some crazy dish baording students in Nigeria tryout sometimes.

It's pidgin. Translates:-Since you'd rather not walk, I'll take your legs.

You should give us a face along with the body.

As you no wan waka I go kuku take your legs.

what if I no want the whole body? I fit choose parts?

Typical symtoms of mixing too much cream with coffee . . . or is it the other way round?

well the only way you get the gari to stick togethernwith out the benefit of hot water is to realy pound a good deal of it in limited quantity of water and the stuff ends up being very hard. It's not so easy to digest.

Depending on you stats o! No be every kin body naim man dey appreciate.

I don't know if it's rigth but I do it. When I boil the beef or turkey I intend to use for my broth, I add a little curry to the mix and I use the broth to make my soup. It taste okay.

Feshelo is basicaly like trying to make eba using cold water.
It was kinda popular in secondary boarding schools in Nigeria (where boiling rings and stoves where outlawed). I remember many nights of agony I spent on my bed after a meal of feshelo. But it was a welcomed relife from the hunger pangs that drove us to trying this strange meal anyway.

If you 've ever tried feshelo, share your recipe and/or experience here.

Christians believe in the Blessed Trinity and we are not confused about it. If you do not have christian faith then there is no point trying to reason your way around it with logic. The explanations any one will give you on the Trinity will only take root in the heart that has faith.
You can not reason it out anymore than you can reason out the origin of God or how he made the universe with his words. You believe or you don't. You are a Christian or you are not.

@Origin,
What did you find in your own John 1:1?

I used to create HTML pages, using Namo 5.0 web design suite, that could launch executable files and .bat file. Recently I tried running one of my past jobs, an interactive CD I made some years ago and the links to launch the .exe and.bat files would not work on my version of internet explorer (version 6.0) but it still works well on version 5.0.
Does any one know a good way of going about this with either javascript or vbscript so that it will operate across all browser types and version?

Thank for your sugestion @kanirip. I will give that a shot ank let you guys know the result.

@kobojunkie,
Thanks for replying.
The ID generation code is not part of a query. It's a function and it only parses through the database to see how many records already exist. It increments the count by 1 and append the result to a preformated string to get an ID. The ID column is a primary key. If two client systems parse the database after an entry, they will both probably end up generating the same ID and only one of them will be able to update the database.
The program uses a dsn-less connection and connects to the database as soon as the view class is initialised (OnInitialUpdate()). The connection type for the database is opened thus

m_pRS->Open(vNull,vNull,adOpenDynamic,adLockOptimistic,adCmdUnknown);

m_pRS is the recordset pointer

though I've tried using the pessimistic connection and it did not change much.


The defination of the function that generates the ID looks like this:

void CRegistration::m_AddNewRecord()
{

UpdateData(TRUE);

m_pRS->MoveFirst();
int m_maxRecordCount = 0;
while(VARIANT_FALSE==m_pRS->adoEOF)
{
m_maxRecordCount++;
m_pRS->MoveNext();
}

m_strRegNum.Format("PMC-%d",m_maxRecordCount);
try
{
m_piadoRB->Update(&m_custRS);
//can we add a new record?
if(m_pRS->Supports(adAddNew))
{
//create a blank record and add the content from the custom recordset
m_piadoRB->AddNew(&m_custRS);
//Move to the last record
m_pRS2->MoveLast();
m_boolAdded = TRUE;
}
}
catch(_com_error &e)
{
//generate an error message
GenerateError(e.Error(),e.Description());
m_boolAdded = FALSE;
}

}


m_pRS is a _RecordSetPtr pointer.
m_piadoRB is a IADORecordBinding* pointer
m_custRS is a variable to the custom recordset that updates the records of the variable so i don't have to work directly with variant types.

You can also go to Computer village and ask the "afirmative software-vendors" for "Net-Collections".
Its a CD containing hundreds of computer books. Some of the books are a little outdated though but you will find many that you will still enjoy using.

Using Ajax is out of it since its not an online program.
As for the timer, I doubt that that will solve the problem. The software will run in an office where, say, 2 to 5 typists might be working over the LAN to input registration information of clients to the database from their own terminal. The program computes a heirarchy so any record created will definitely affect a lot of the existing records if they are ancestors of the new entry. New records will only be allowed when their ancestors are already in the database. The software works fine as a stand alone program but when on the LAN the update becomes a nasty problem.
If I'm to use a timer to refresh the recordset then the timer would probably have to fire every few second or so and I think this will create some performance issues.
Also the data entry is tightly controlled. Each entry is given a unique ID which is auto-generated and part of the ID is formed by taking a record count and incrementing by 1. If two client terminals are to read the record count from the database at almost the same time, they will both generate similar IDs and only one of the ID will be accepted and that will trigger a rejection to the entry from the other client. This will just continue to happen for almost all the entries.

Dear God! Things realy get flaming hot when one has to rise to the defense of ones belifes. Even so lets try and bear in mind That which ever religion it is that we proffess, our grounds are founded on FAITH - (beliving without the benefit of proof). How many people can actualy provr the tenents of their religion 100% without first expecting the person they are proving it to to belive, even if only marginaly, in some of what they belive? We belive in what is written in our Holy books because we have faith in an unseen God. It's our faith that make us belive to the exclussion of all else.
Does any religion expect everyone else to belive in what they belive (everyone would be a convert then). It is good that we have our faiths and if we can persuade others to share it, WONDERFULL!! But if not then the least we can do is defend that faith that blosoms in our heart and tolorate the "unbelivers" around us. Surely God is more than able to fight his battles if and when the time comes.
Enough with all the tantrums and angst in the religion section of NairaLand.
Listen to other peoples view and if you don't agree, air your disagreement without resulting to belittlement and insults and suchlike.
TOLORANCE should be a good watchword. You don't have to accepts anyone's view but tolorate the fact that they are entitled to their views.

Hi Gurus,
I've a little problem here.
I developed a database application using visual c++ and ADO (activex data object). The program works across a local area network (LAN) such that any system on the LAN running the program is able to update the database.
My problem however is how to inform all other connected systems that the database has been updated so that they can refresh their records.
Any sugestion will be welcomed.

The concept of Christ being the son of God and at the same time God is called the trinity.
As stated in the Book of John

John 1:1-4
1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

John 1:14-15

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

The "Word" in the passage above is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Son of God and He is God (God the son in the blessed trinity). You will have to look beyond the physicsl restraints that nagates the possibility of a human being being one with his father to understand the Trinity. God is a Spirit being and is not hamppered by human restraints.

Create a text file with note pad (or any text editor you prefer). Save the file as "AUTORUN.INF" then type in the following code.

assuming your home page is "index.html" and it is found in the root of your cd i.e. it is not in a folder. And assuming also that you have an icon you will like to be displayed as the cd icon and lets call this icon "myIcon.ico" then your code will look like this:-

Dear nairalanders,
Who says research doesn't pay. I've realy researched this love potion recipe and found several but most of the ingredients are hard to come by. However I've found one that is proudly Nigerian and designed for the average Nigerian guy or babe who wants long lasting love without stress.
All you need is a bowl of noodle (it works also with rice, yam and beans but I'm not sure of other foods).

Prepare a bowl of noodles in any form you find most appealing.
Do not use palm oil (it will neutralise the active ingridient in the potion).
Extract some of the water from the noodles just before it is actualy done. Save the water in a ceramic bowl.
Refridgirate the noodle (make it ice cold to preserve the freshness - the rest of the potion takes three days to make).
Now back to the broth (noodle water) you extracted,
put two petals of sun flower in the broth and heat it up until it boils. cover up the broth and petals for a minute so that the sunflower essence will infuse in the broth. Remove the petals.
Refridgirate the broth till the next day.
Heat up the broth on the second day until it just begins to boil. Gring one bitter cola and pour it into the hot broth and stir it in.
Put the broth back on fire and keep striring until it drys out to form a thick paste.
Scoop out the paste unto a flat saucer and let it dry out at room temprature. Be sure to cover it with a net to prevent insects getting to it. Let it dry for a day.
on the third day, bring out the noodles from the fridge and microwave it to make it hot and fresh (make sure its the same noodles from wich you extracted the broth).
Sprinle the powder you obtain from the broth on the food and be sure to eat the meal with the person you desire.
Thats all.
No incatations or crazy rituals.

Note that this will only work for some one who is already passably intressted in you enough to share a meal with you. It doesn't generate love it only amplify the existing feeling to mega propotions and its permanent. The portion works for both of you that ate the meals so only use it with someone you intend to spend the rest of your life with.

Share your testimonies please.

@havanah
Whats with all this intrusion? I'm trying to have a quiet time here alone on this thread. please butt off.

Anyway, Dear Nairalanders (excluding all previous beefy posters)
My search finaly paid off as a mystic from India sent me the real McCoy.
This love potion is gauranteed to work for any body, even if you are not as handsome as me.


[b]9 Factor Potion
To be performed on the 9th day of the 9th month.
(But you can try it anytime - who knows?)


9 oz. sweet red wine
9 basil leaves
9 red rose petals
9 cloves
9 apple seeds
9 drops vanilla extract
9 drops strawberry juice
9 drops apple juice
1 ginseng root, cut into 9 equal pieces

By the light of 9 pink votive candles, put these nine ingrediants into a cauldron on the ninth hour of the ninth day of the ninth month of the year.
Stir the potion nine times with a wooden spoon, each time reciting the following:

LET THE ONE WHO DRINKS THIS WINE
SHOWER ME WITH LOVE DIVINE.
SWEET LOVE POTION NUMBER NINE
MAKE HIS/HER LOVE FOREVER MINE.

Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat and let it simmer for nine minutes.
Remove the cauldron from the heat and allow the potion to cool off.
Blow nine times upon the potion, bless it in the names of nine love-goddesses, (see below) and then strain it through a cheesecloth into a clean container.
Cover and refrigerate it untill you are ready to serve it to the man or woman from whom you desire love and affection. (Do not allow anyone other than your beloved to look at,touch, or drink the love potion.)
The nine goddesses: Inanna, Ishtar, Astarte, Hathor, Nephthys, Aphrodite, Venus, Freya, Arianrhod.[/b]

@all-the-above-posters,
Una see una self, when person post better thread una no go reply. When useless topic show up, una go rush go there like ant to sugar. Imagine thread wey neva reach 3 hrs don get 169 view and about 20 replies and the thing de top chart!!!
Una do well, children of babalawo.

Clarify please.
Are you looking for someone to draw the currency or would you prefer to render them in 3D?

Seriously, does anyone have a recipe for love potion?
I often read of and hear of people being given love potions to eat or drink and I am yet to come across the stuff.

Picture a scenerio where a next of kin has been involved in a sever accident and is being kept alive only by means of life support systems at a great expense to the family. The patient is in a vegitative state. severly brain damaged, crippled, and has lost some vital organs. Dotors have recomended that you let them euthanise the patient since the patient is under a lot of pains and will definitely not survive much longer despite the best efforts of the medical staff. Will you let the patient remain in pains under the life support system until he/she eventualy expires or will you append your signatuer (being the next of kin) for euthanasia agents to be administered?

What does your bible say?

please share your views with us. And vote on it too.

Nope, very artistic.
