"The air we breathe is such a precious commodity - let's make it safer for this generation and the next."
If there is even the chance that your home or business premises has asbestos in it, it is crucial that you identify and remove it. At AsMATT LTD, in Billericay, Essex, our team have more than 50 years of combined experience and use it to complete meticulous asbestos surveys and testing. Our surveys will determine if asbestos is present and whether or not it poses a health risk. Rest assured that any hazardous asbestos will be safely removed and disposed of by our team.
All of our surveys are carried out in compliance with HSG 264 Control of Asbestos Regulation 2012, with samples being tested by an independent, UKAS-accredited laboratory. Once the survey is complete, the findings are presented to the client as a comprehensive written report detailing results and recommendations.
Carried out on both commercial and domestic premises, a management survey entails surface sample testing and visual inspections to ascertain whether asbestos products have been used in the make-up of the building.
Used extensively by the construction industry, this comprehensive survey includes full-access sampling. Walls, floors, and ceilings will be penetrated to ensure that all traces of asbestos are discovered.
There may be occasions when the asbestos found in your property does not pose a risk to health. If this is the case, we are happy to provide an annual inspection service.
As we have all the appropriate licences in place, our surveying service satisfies the Control of Asbestos Work Regulation 4 - Duty to Manage requirement. As of 21st May, 2004, the Health & Safety Executive set in action legislation that puts the onus directly on the duty holder, which is the person or organisation that has a clear responsibility for the maintenance or repair of non-domestic properties.
Despite being based in Billericay, AsMATT LTD has satisfied clients as far afield as Birmingham to the north and Eastbourne to the south. To cover as many customers as possible, we are happy to travel to Central London, Kent, Essex, and all of the surrounding counties.

Introduction to Contracts[edit | edit source]
What is a Contract?[edit | edit source]
A contract is "an agreement which creates an obligation."[1] A contract's essential elements are:
Parties competent to contract.
A subject matter.
A legal consideration.
Mutuality of agreement.
Mutuality of obligation.
When one or more of these five elements are missing, the contract is unenforceable (in some cases), voidable (in other cases) and void (in others).
A contract then is the result of agreement and obligation; by agreement being meant the expression by two or more persons of a common intention; by obligation being meant the duty which the law imposes upon the parties to act as they have agreed to act. And this obligation is not present unless the agreement contains the requisites just mentioned.
A contract may therefore be defined as the agreement of two or more competent persons, in proper form, on a legal consideration and with their free consent upon a legal subject matter.[2]
Other Common Law Definitions[edit | edit source]
"A contract may be defined as an agreement between competent parties, supported by a legal consideration, and In the form, If any, prescribed by law, creating an obligation on the part of one or both to do or refrain from doing some lawful thing."[3]
"The agreement of two competent parties about a legal and competent subject matter, upon a mutual legal consideration, with a mutuality of obligation." [4]
"An agreement upon sufficient consideration. to do or not to do a particular thing." [5]
"A voluntary and lawful agreement, by competent parties, for a good consideration, to do or not do a. specified thing."[6]
"The agreement of minds, upon a sufficient consideration, that something specified shall be done, or shall not be done."[7]
"The meeting of minds upon and agreement to a definite thing."[8]
"A bargain or agreement voluntarily made upon good consideration, between two or more persons capable of contracting, to do, or forbear to do, some lawful act."[9]
"An agreement between two or more parties, for the doing or the not doing or some particular thing."[10]
"A deliberate engagement between competent parties, upon a legal consideration, to do or to abstain from doing some act."[11]
"A promise from one or more persons to another or others, either made in fact or created by the law, to do or refrain from some lawful thing; being also under the seal of the promisor, or being reduced to a judicial record, or being accompanied by a valid consideration, or being executed, and not being in a form forbidden or declared inadequate by law."[12]
"An agreement enforceable at law, made between two or more persons, by which rights are acquired by one or more to acts or forebearances on the part of the other or others."[13]
An agreement by which two parties mutually promise and engage, or one of them promises or engages to the other, to give some particular thing or to do or abstain from doing some particular act.[14]
An agreement containing a promise made by the one party for a valid consideration and agreed to by the other party.[15]
"Every agreement and promise enforceable by law."[16]
"A mutual assent of two or more persons, competent to contract, founded on a sufficient and legal motive, inducement, or consideration to perform some legal act, or to omit to do anything, the performance whereof is not enjoined by law."[17]
"An obligation attached by the mere force of law to certain acts of the parties, usually words, which ordinarily accompany and represent a known Intent."[18]
"A transaction between two or more persons, In which each party comes under an obligation to the other, and each reciprocally acquires a right to what is promised by the other."[19]
"An agreement where both parties become obligated."[20]
"A voluntary agreement between two parties, the coming together of two minds by a common intent."[21]
"An agreement between competent parties, supported by a legal consideration, and there can be no contract in its true sense without a meeting of minds."[22]
"The union of two or more minds in a thing done or to be done."[23]
"The meeting of the minds of the contracting parties."[24]
"A drawing together of minds until they meet."[25]
"A writing is not a contract when it fails to express that on which the minds of the parties met, and courts freely exercise power to correct mistakes when the proof leaves no doubt that the real contract was something else."[26]
"A proposition made by one contracting party and accepted by the other constitutes a contract. It evidences the meeting of their minds upon the terms of their agreement, and binds them both."[27]
Where a promise is made on one side and assented to on the other, or where two or more persons enter into an engagement with each other by a promise on either side.[28]
A speech between two parties whereby something is to be done.[29]
"When both parties will the same thing, and each communicates his will to the other, with a mutual engagement to carry it into effect."[30]
"An agreement between two or more persons, whereby, in consideration of something done, or promised to be done, by the party on one side, the party on the other side undertakes to do, or not to do a particular thing."[31]
"A compact between two or more parties."[32]
Statutory Definitions[edit | edit source]
You can help by adding to it.
Simple and Special Contracts Included[edit | edit source]
"Contract," in its widest sense, includes records and specialties, but the term Is usually employed to designate only simple or parol contracts.[33]
"Though the term 'contract' is usually employed to designate either specialty or simple contracts, yet custom has affixed to the term all species of obligation; and in Sturges v. Crowninshield,[34] Ch. J. Marshall has defined a contract to be 'an agreement, in which a party undertakes to do, or not to do, a particular thing.' In this definition the consideration is omitted; and it was no doubt intended to embrace all kinds of contracts, whether by record, specialty, or parol." [35]
"The term contract comprises, in its full and more liberal signification, every description of agreements, obligations, or legal ties, whereby one party binds himself, or becomes bound, expressly or impliedly, to pay a sum of money, or perform or omit to do a certain act."[36]
General Formation[edit | edit source]
The offer by one to do or not to do something becomes a promise when it is accepted by the party to whom it is made. Promise implies futurity; something to be done or left undone hereafter. Something carried out at its inception--like the sale of goods for cash over the counter, is a mere exchange, no promise, no obligation and hence no contract. The parties to a promise are called promisor and promisee and the result of the mutual promises is agreement.[37]
An executed contract is a contract which has been fully performed since it was made, or which was performed at the time it was made, so that nothing remains to be done on either side.[38] An executory contract is one which is either wholly unperformed, or in which there remains something to be done on both sides--as in the case of mutual promises to marry, where the promise of each party is the consideration for the promise of the other, or a promise on one side to furnish goods or perform services, and a promise on the other side to accept and pay for the same. A contract may be executed on one side as executory on the other,[39] as where one has paid for goods which another has agreed to deliver, or where one has delivered goods which another has promised to pay for.[40]
When the consideration on both sides of an executory contract is a promise the contract is bilateral. Where the promise is on one side only it is unilateral, and the offeree is not bound to perform at all nor until performance by him is the offerer bound; but on performance by the offeree the proposal of the offerer is turned into a binding contract. An offer of a reward is a good example of this.

↑ As an agreement to constitute a contract must create a legal obligation, it is not correct to speak of a "void" contract--for it is the agreement which is void, i.e., destitute of legal effect and there is no contract at all. But the words contract and agreement have been so long used by writers and judges as meaning the same thing that it is too late to try to change legal terminology so far as this subject is concerned.

Anson calls it a slippery word (Contr. § 25), and Ashley (Contr. § 6), says that there is no such thing as an executed contract; that one might as well speak of a dead live man. In the subject matter of the contract has been performed that extinguishes it. It either exists or is terminated, is alive or dead. A layman usually speaks of a writing being "executed" when it is signed, or in the case of a deed, signed, sealed, and delivered.

So, I'll say first that I have been a COG member since 2016 and have been attending COG functions since 2014. I am not an active member here, but I do participate some on the Facebook page. After this year's national rally I feel compelled to write this here.
I inherited the bike known as the Spirit of COG at the 2016 Helen GA national rally. I learned the history of the bike there from several members who were involved, most notably Chris Lillie (the original winner) and Jim Miller (the builder). What really stood out to me was how many members, who are also industry partners, donated time and parts to the bike to make it truly a great build.
Unfortunately in the time the bike has been with me I have done little more than oil changes to keep the bike maintained. The paint is faded, the rings are losing compression, and the carbs need to be gone through. In short I have simply ridden it and just enjoyed my time on it. I think that came back to bite me in the long run at this year's national rally in Kerrville. After trailering (yes, yes, i know) the bike to the rally I got two good days out of riding it. On the second day upon returing to the hotel I noticed the bike leaking something profusely from the front of the belly pan. After the bike cooled down and the plastics came off we discovered that the bike had lost roughly 2 quarts of oil out of the bevel gear gasket. The leak was pretty bad and without writing an entire essay on the subject, the bike was down and out for the rally.
Luckily there were several folks present to assist in diagnosing the problem and keep me from redneck fixing it and doing more damage. One person of significant note is Ted Adcock. Ted took time out of another rally function he was supposed to make an appearance at to help me diagnose my issue. When I finally determined that I wouldn't be riding the bike Ted pretty quickly convinced me to take his keys for his spare C10. He brought the bike specifically as a backup for the OTP riders. I dont remember how many times I politely refused, but eventially Ted convinced me that I came to Texas from NC to ride, and I needed to take the opportunity and just ride. So I took his keys and planned out my next two days. I can definitely say I am extremely grateful for Ted's generosity, we saved the 3 sisters ride for Thursday and it did not disappoint. I would have hated to just be sitting around the pool and miss that ride!
In the end I guess my main point to this post is that the true "spirit" of COG doesn't lie in a single motorcycle. The spirit of this group lies in the members that go above and beyond for their fellow riders. So if I didn't say it enough in Texas, Ted, once again THANK YOU!
Well said Matt. Ted's a good man and has a big heart. I found that a common trait among the Texans I encountered wherever I went last week.
I (sorta) disagree. That's a common trait among COGgers from every state.
Yes, indeed. No slight intended to the rest of COGdom.
Well written, Matt. It was nice to chat with you on the porch. I hope your repair/upgrade plans go well. +1 on Ted Adcock.
Indeed a great story. See y'all Ted is a great guy. Maybe someday soon people will stop picking on him.
Geez, ya'll are gonna make me blush.
I didn't do anything that another COGger wouldn't have done.
Matt was there, the bike and the roads 3 Sisters were there.
E'nuff about me. Let's talk more about COG Spirit..
That's what COG is all about..
PS: I don't mind the pickin'.
Just joking man, you are awesome, and I also have a lot to thank you for.
...and drop him into the pond half way there.
He will say he doesn't know how to swim, but I know he floats.
[/i] someday soon people will stop picking on him.
Never gonna happen Nicole! Well at least not as long as I'm around.

It's been more than two years since there were updates to the Spider-Man poses department. My apologies to the two of you who actually read this (yes, Driscoll, haha!).
Spider-Man rode the bus and skytrain last night. He also has beefs with TransLink, but politely posed for the camera. He is a good and considerate public transit rider.

When his family moved to New York City in the 1920's, Galdone took a variety of jobs before finding work in commercial art studios.
Galdone worked for some years in the art department at Doubleday in Garden City, N.Y., on Long Island. There he became friends with Ken McCormick who was to become editor in chief of Doubleday — one of the connections to the publishing world that helped him in establishing himself as a freelance illustrator. The transition came abruptly when he was prohibited from using the Doubleday studio to work on the freelance jobs he had been taking on. He then moved to New York City, eventually settling in an apartment on West 10th Street in Greenwich Village. There he became an independent illustrator in earnest. Working without an agent, he produced a steady stream of jackets and book illustrations.

Q&A: Keishana Washington on Basketball, Balance and Being a Dragon
The Drexel women's basketball guard has had a fiery season and was at one point the leading scorer in the country.
By Nat Kaemmerer
Q&A: Mel Singleton on Leading Drexel University's Department of Public Safety
Drexel University Homecoming Kicks Off on Jan. 17
What's it Like Being a New Drexel Dragon This Fall?
Homecoming 2022 Set to Provide Return to Normal and Renewed Sense of Community
Keishana Washington surveys the court.
Drexel women's basketball guard Keishana Washington keeps a lot of plates in the air — and a lot of basketballs swishing through the hoop. The fifth-year graduate psychology student leads by example on and off the court by exemplifying the ambition of Drexel's Dragons. She was named Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) MVP and CAA Scholar-Athlete of the Year in the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons, respectively, as well as a slew of other awards, and she's gotten off to a fiery start in the 2022-23 season. She spent three weeks in December as the leading scorer in the country and closed out 2022 with that accolade.
She took her academics to the next level this year and is now working towards her master's degree in psychology. She balances school, basketball and life with a little Dragon determination — and a lot of practice.
Q: How do you approach your master's program?
A: I've been passionate about psychology for the past four years and I'm continuing with that in grad school to take it a step further. I chose this program because of my interest in conducting research, specifically pertaining to cognitive function. The main difference between undergrad and grad school is that the course load is more intense, but there's also more flexibility because my classes meet less frequently. Because there's a lot more content, I'm putting in a couple extra hours into studying and really understanding what I'm learning and how it can be applied.
I also approach my master's program as an opportunity to expand on my foundation of psychology. One thing that I am really looking forward to is writing my master's thesis, which will allow me to do extensive research on a topic in the realm of women's basketball.
Q: How do you approach the basketball season and training, especially this season?
A: It takes a lot of hours in the gym, a lot of hours doing film. I work a lot with [Associate Head Women's Basketball] Coach Stacy Weiss] and we do a lot of individual workouts and spend time talking about basketball. She holds me accountable to doing the little things necessary to help our team be successful. The same goes for [Head Women's Basketball Coach] Amy [Mallon]. We just have conversations talking basketball, and I tell her the things I notice on the floor, and she tells me the things she needs from me and how we can implement those things on the court.
I had a year of consistency, which I would say was the key for me especially scoring-wise. Like I said, I put in a lot of extra hours to be consistent in all areas of my game. That also came with a lot of trust in my teammates and my coaches and vice versa, with them trusting me to do what they knew I was capable of doing.
I think our team [this year] has some growing to do but right now we look very good. We have things to work on, but they can be fixed. We're a young team, but when gel, we're a very successful team. We have two talented freshmen and I'm excited about them and their careers in the future, but I think we look solid right now and I'm excited to see what this team can do.
Q: What do you do to make sure you balance school and basketball?
A: I try to find those periods of time where I can actually sit down and study and then take a break and study again because I feel like I'm always on the go with practice or lift or meetings or things like that; so, I find time where I can focus on just school. It's definitely very difficult but I think over the years I've learned how to prioritize basketball and school. Those things come first. It's about finding a balance between studying, playing basketball and finding time for myself. A typical class day involves an 8 a.m. lift, 10 a.m. class, treatment in the training room at 12:50 p.m., 1 p.m. practice, 3 p.m. post practice treatment, and 6 p.m. dinner. Finding time within my schedule to study, meet with mentors/advisors, watch game film, get treatment, do extra on court work, etc., is crucial, and staying disciplined in maximizing my time has become extremely important.
(When I was named the CAA Scholar-Athlete of the Year), I didn't know I was in the running for it. It was the first year the CAA has had that award, so that's an honor in itself to be the first player who stood out on and off the court to receive that award. Something my parents always preached to me was that school has the power to take you a lot further than sports does, so that's something that I always put first in being a student athlete.
Q: What does being a Dragon mean to you?
A: Drexel was my top school because of the family atmosphere they have within the team, from my teammates to coaches. My favorite part is hanging around my teammates, whether that be at practice or lift or during activities off the court. They make college a lot more enjoyable. You have 13 other people that are experiencing pretty much the same thing, so we have a different bond that you wouldn't necessarily get with someone who isn't a student athlete.
Over my five years, I have been so grateful to see my professors and classmates support the team at our games. My growth over these years has allowed me to be more confident in who I am as a player and person. When I first got here, I was a quiet freshman, and now I walk around with confidence with the ability to greet everyone. This confidence has helped me excel on the court. Being the leading scorer means having teammates and coaches that put their trust in me to perform at a high level. To me, being the leader scorer is just a stat, but what drives me the most is leading this team to win games and championships. I'm very proud of myself for all that I've accomplished over the years, but none of that could have been done without the support of my family, coaches, teammates, and Drexel community.
I am lucky to have administration that is supportive of our team in all aspects; especially last year when the CAA needed a school to host the conference tournament, the Drexel community stepped in to make it happen for our program. It was one of the most electric environments I've played in and I'm grateful to those that made it happen. Being a Dragon means having a community that you can always lean on for support, a family.
Q: What would you tell fellow Dragons who want more balance in life?
A: My advice would be to take it one step at a time. I think something I struggled with earlier, like in my freshman or sophomore year, was trying to do too much at one time. I was trying to my homework, while figuring out my schedule, and planning when to do film or extra work, etc. etc., instead of knocking off one thing before moving onto the next, which is something I've improved to give myself that balance without feeling overwhelmed. You should focus on what's in front of you rather than what's down the road. The same goes with basketball. You can't think about Game Three if you haven't even gotten through Game One. So be patient, take your time and take a breath, which is something I frequently tell our freshmen now.

At least 20 Afghan police members were killed, after a group of Taliban attacked security outposts in Sayyad district and on the outskirts of Sar-e-Pul city on Monday night, local officials said on Tuesday.
Sar-e-Pul Governor Abdulqadir Ashna said more than 23 Afghan forces personnel were wounded in the clashes.
He said the Taliban attacked parts of Sayyad district and Qashqari village on the outskirts of Sar-e-Pul city.
According to him, Taliban has also suffered casualties.
The governor said the attack in Sayyad district ended after six hours.
"People have to be concerned. The Sar-e-Pul province has been forgotten," he added.
Meanwhile, Mohammad Noor Rahmani, head of Sar-e-Pul Provincial Council, said thorough attention is required on the province, in terms of providing more facilities to security forces and ensuring new measures in this respect.
This comes after Taliban attacked security outposts in Chimtal district on Monday night.
Local officials said both sides suffered casualties.
The provincial governor said clashes occurred, killing at least 20 police force members, when a group of Taliban launched attacks in Sayyad district.


Ruthie with Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care here once again and I wanted to share with you all a story about one of our recent clients and the rugs they brought into us. Of course, we pride ourselves on our quality work in professional rug cleaning. But we also pride ourselves on our honesty and desire to treat our customers the way we all want to be treated.
Our client brought in three little Moroccan rugs they purchased during their travels. A little T.L.C. was much needed on these rugs, as well as a bit of repair on the fringes for all three. After taking the rugs down to our repair shop for an estimate, we continued through the process of getting approval for cleaning and the repairs from our clients.
After the rugs were out of the shop, we realized something. We had mistakenly turned ONE repair cost for all three rugs into THREE different repair charges, one for each rug. We called up our client, explained the mix up, and had them come back in to refund the overcharged amount. He was so grateful for our honesty and quickness to remedy the mix-up!
I wanted to share this story to show how dedicated we are to our clients. We always provide the best care possible for area rugs, but we also want our clients to leave here knowing that THEY have been taken care of as well. We always want to offer the best possible customer service along with our fantastic professional rug cleaning service!
It isn't every day that we have a slip-up like this, but we always try to make it right as best we can. Thank you to our clients for the beautiful testimonial and understanding!

"MAGIC is believing in yourself.
If you can do that, you can make anything happen".
show you how to do the impossible!
There is more to magic than just shuffling cards. It takes psychology, finesse, timing ... these things take years of practice and experience to perfect. BUT, if you are serious and willing to put in a little work, I can help you.
... to find out how YOU can also become a MAGICIAN !
With almost half century of experience in the magic world, I brought what I knew to teach a course at The University of Alaska-Anchorage called "The History & Art of Magic", as part of the Humanities Department's curriculum and also during the Summer Continuing Education program. This is something that I am considering bringing to the local University as part of their Fine Arts program.
I have had private students in the past, and I'm now accepting interested individuals who are needing help with their magic, or those who are just starting out.
I will show this person all the basics of card magic, sleight-of-hand with coins, and even mind-reading. I will teach this apprentice how to practice, which the art of magic so necessarily requires.
This individual has learned many of the classic tricks and sleights, and will need to have some of the rough edges smoothed out. Scripting and staging is taught to make it more appealing to the viewing audience.
A magician who has many years of experience might need some consultation for a specialized trick or illusion. I can provide ongoing support and provide advice for a show that's in the works.
"Jeff combines the qualities that one seeks in a mentor in any field. Deep practical knowledge and contagious zeal. When you learn magic with Jeff, you not only learn invaluable techniques and sleights, but truly begin to learn how to think like a magician. The lessons he imparts make a rock-solid foundation for lifelong continued learning."
"Jeffrey Day's knowledge and commitment to the history and craft of magic and mentalism is truly a gift to these arts. Anyone seeking out a teacher, consultant, or mentor can benefit greatly from his experience and masterful teaching style. From the age of 12 to 14 he was my mentor. His teaching of basics to advanced sleight-of-hand & illusion techniques set me on a path of magic and performance that has continued to this day over 25 years later ... he had me focus not just 'tricks', but on the underlying principals- the 'why' not just the 'how'. He encouraged me to learn from multiple performance disciplines; theater, dance and music (as he excels in these fields as well). He taught me valuable skills and challenged me to develop originality and to create and to not settle for being a cookie cutter magician. From my first lesson with him, he encouraged a passion for sleight-of-hand and d.i.y. illusion crafting, that would benefit any budding amateur or professional, alike. Jeff is the real deal and he is dedicated to teaching and cultivating others to become true performing magicians".

BURLINGTON – The Committee to Protest the Sky is Blue (CPSB) has started a full-on campaign to stop the proposal to place two orange traffic cones in the middle of Church Street between Main and College.
The protest began after the Department of Public Works sent an e-mail to Church Street merchants informing them that two traffic cones would be place in the middle of the street to block off a three-foot area where a pot hole has developed. The CPSB discovered this because it sends daily freedom of information request notices to all city agencies regarding any and all plans that impact anything.
The CPSB immediately launched into action. It started a Facebook campaign, hired a lawyer, received funding from an anonymous source, sent notices via Front Porch Forum, and began a petition drive.
DPW responded by acknowledging the concern. However, it indicated that engineers, architects, and members of the Church Street Marketplace had met fifteen times on the matter and decided that the cones were necessary. Given the protest, DPW agreed to hold public meetings in all wards to explain the two-week project.
Stay tuned for updates in this developing story. It is sure to rank in importance with other City boondoggles such as the 80-story mall; the 30,000-seat arena at Memorial Auditorium; the south end super highway and the clear cutting of City Hall Park.

Robert Vadra today dismissed as "false accusations" reports related to an Enforcement Directorate raid against a Delhi-based company.
His reaction came a day after Agency sleuths searched the premises of a firm in connection with a money laundering case arising out of land grab charges in Bikaner.
ED's probe found that the firm was "involved" in purchasing land from companies, which had initially procured land from the border town of Rajasthan.
"It is suspected that the firm acted as a dummy or shell company. Some documents and computer peripherals have been seized. The premises, which were brought under the search operation, belongs to a chartered accountancy firm," sources had said.

Dr. Gene Tuskin works with troubled children, perhaps none more troubled than Regan MacNeil, who suffers from bad dreams and repressed memories. The memories she represses are of the time she was possessed by a demon. Dr. Tuskin's invention, a device that hypnotizes two persons and links their minds together, reveals that the demon, named Pazuzu, still lurks within her. It is desperate to emerge again and wreak havoc. Meanwhile, Father Philip Lamont is ordered by his cardinal to investigate the death of Father Merrin, the priest who died while performing an exorcism on Regan. Father Lamont undertakes his task reluctantly. He feels unworthy of his assignment. He also feels that Evil is literally an entity and that this entity is winning the battle over Good. His investigation takes him to Africa where he locates another recipient of Merrin's exorcising and learns something fascinating and terrible about locusts.
Father Lamont: I've flown this route before. It was on the wings of a demon.
Father Lamont: Pazuzu, king of the evil spirits of the air, help me to find Kokumo!
Father Lamont: When the wings have brushed you... is there no hope once the wings have brushed you?
Pazuzu: No! Once the wings have brushed you, you're mine forever!
Kokumo: If Pazuzu comes for you I will spit a leopard.
During the filming, director John Boorman contracted San Joaquin Valley Fever (a respiratory fungal infection), which caused filming to be suspended for five weeks. It was determined to be caused from the dust used in the African sets from the film.
Linda Blair refused to be subjected to the makeup she wore in the first film. In flashback scenes, the possessed Regan was played by a double.
In one scene (lasting eight minutes and ten seconds), the camera cuts to close-ups of Lamont in which he's neither moving nor speaking, twenty six times (not counting genuine reaction shots).
Jon Voight originally agreed to play Father Lamont before dropping out over concerns with the screenplay. David Carradine and Jack Nicholson were considered to play the part: the studio rejected Carradine due to an ongoing dispute with him over the Kung Fu TV series, while Nicholson's salary demands were deemed too high.
Christopher Walken was also considered to play Father Lamont, but the studio management was opposed to his casting.


A series of special cattle industry events are designed for anyone who trades feeder cattle, fed cattle and non-fed beef animals – as well as ranchers, cattle feeders and ag lenders.
Clint Peck, Montana director of Beef Quality Assurance (BQA), says the events are designed to introduce new initiatives of BQA programming to an audience across the region.
"These programs are intended for anyone," he says. "Cattle buyers are a very important segment of our industry and it's our responsibility to keep them in the loop as to what we're doing in BQA programming." He adds that cattle buyers from across the country are being sent special invitations to attend the summits.
