Solve the Mystery of Alex and the Greatest Dream is an armchair treasure hunt in the form of an illustrated fantasy novel, created by Ben Naude and first published in 2007, although it was only marketed on the internet since 2008 The Treasure is discovered by solving the mystery of the greatest dream - once you do so, you send your answer by post to the creaters to claim the treasure.
Synopsis
The book is about a adolescent boy, Alex, and his four friends that enter the story later (Jessica, Janco and Harry). They are led into the dreamless lands by Alex to find the Greatest Dream.
The creator has hinted on his personal site that there is clue the solve the mystery in the similarities between the Caylix Quest and the Mystery of Alex and the Greatest Dream.
According to the official site there are four possible ways to solve the mystery and subsequently claiming the treasure. Each of the four ways or paths are represented by one of the main characters. Still, there seems to be only one answer, leading to the conclusion that it is not four answers but four ways of presenting that one answer.
The Treasure
The treasure is estimated at $500 000, (a portion of each book sold is added to the pot) and will be distributed between the first four people that correctly solves the mystery. It is unclear whether the treasure is a cash prize for the amount or an item(s) worth the amount.
Armchair Treasure hunt
An Armchair Treasure Hunt is any activity that requires solving puzzles or riddles in some easily portable and widely reproduced format (usually an illustrated children's book), and then using clues hidden either in the story or the graphics of the book to find a real treasure somewhere in the physical world. Some newer Armchair Treasure hunts such as the Mystery of Alex and the Greatest Dream and the Merlin Mystery does not require a search in the physical world but merely that the mystery or puzzle be solved correctly. The physical treasure that were sought or mentioned in the book are then awarded to the winners.

The Youth Evangelism Conference 2002 is mostly referred to in connection with a 58 minute sermon by Paul Washer at this conference.
The Youth Evangelism Conference 2002 took place in Montgomery, Alabama with about 5,000 youth partaking in it and focusing on evangelism. Paul Washer was invited to speak, and he did, but not in the way that was expected. Furthermore, the sermon was not actually about evangelism, but about examining ourselves to see if we are in the light. In the beginning, the audience of about 5,000 youth erupted into applause when he talked about being tired of worldy Christians. He shocked them all into silence when told the youth he was talking about them. Brother Paul was not invited back to speak at the conference again.
The Video is widely linked to over the internet in addition to the material given on Paul Washer's homepage.
It was also part of a show on on where Paul Washer was then interviewed about . The video and the transcript are the clearest sources when it comes to a definition of Paul Washers teaching. Even though there are a few other videos and sermons available on the internet this Conference is a crucial part.
The sermon in text and video are available here:

Fedora colinux is a distribution of Cooperative Linux based on Fedora core. It is fully functional (e.g. full development tools graphical and network interfaces) out
of the box.
Features
* Full TCP/IP networking: the coLinux parasite can talk to both its host (via a private 192.168.0 loopback network) and to the Internet, if the host is networked via connection sharing.
* Full software development tools (gcc,g++,gcj,g77,gnat) and debugging tools (gdb).
* Graphical user interface: this can be delivered either by a VNC based virtual terminal server or a rootless X Windows client e.g. freeXer to the host XP system. In either case, the system can be set up to allow seamless interoperability (e.g. cut and paste between windows belonging to the Windows XP host and the coLinux parasite). The distribution provides a number of types of X window manager and also the kde and Gnome desktops.
* Additional bundled functionality, for example an updated verion of the croypid process application checkpointing utility which allows processed to be frozen, stored to file and subsequently restarted.
