Dempsey's Office - Translated scroll 9
If you now look for the safe and click on the trophy, a small surprise awaits. Once that has happened the safe now contains a partly translated scroll.
The transcript of which is below -
Soon Heavenly Bodies shall align
And The promised Event shall arrive
And The Righteous Few shall become Many
Death shall be Life
Fathers shall be reborn
And The Pure shall prevail
And the Slaves be vanquished
And we shall all return and inherit the Earth
The Chosen One shall rise among the Slaves
To lead the Guardians of Earth
Protector and Destroyer
Key to their future, Hand of our doom
Only the Chosen One can freely walk the board of fate
And unweave our destinies
And we shall fight to stop the Chosen One
This we know
As you can see there is a missing verse to the prophecy, this may be a key element to a second season assuming Th Event is picked up by another production outfit like Netflix as has been rumoured.

Thanks for posting this. I've been checking the site since last night. I think it was Truthseeker that tweeted to check Dempsey's office before the show last night.
I hadn't checked back for awhile. Guess I gave up to soon. :)

- Zort70 said...
No problem, I was looking as well :-)
To me it sounds like a sort of cyclical prophecy and there seems to be a chosen one that can break the circle somehow.
- 24 May 2011 at 22:55
- SG_Tess said...
Do you think the chosen one is Sean since they say he'll be the leader of the guardians.
Yeah the prophecy seems odd. Since the aliens supposedly came back to Earth in peace. That prophecy doesn't sound very peaceful.

So sad we're left hanging like this just when it was getting good. Hope a Netflix deal works out!

This prophecy seems a bit inspired by the Nibiru theory, the people of Nibiru as told by ancient Sumerian text was supposed to be here first and started civilization here on Earth. They were after some minerals (gold) as it was useful for them for their planet, upon revolt of the EBE miners, the EBE rulers, tinkered with the local species that is most similar to them, and created a slave race that will serve the gods. Hence the "Slaves". I wonder who are the guardians of the Earth, were they also EBEs, or were they the hybrid locals that are born of pure EBEs and local species, and somehow then symphatised with the locals, like Simon. Somehow, the series ended in a lousy, but exciting way, as the loose ends were tied, haphazardly. :(

- Zort70 said...
Good call on the Nibiru DJ, it does sound like a similar scenario.
Do you think it will turn out that the native Earth people will actually be of alien origin ?
Ah well, we won't give up here, and if any new info comes to light we will keep sharing it.

- Amused2bHere said...
Good points, everyone. Nibiru, ancient astronauts, Chariots of the gods? I guess we only have our speculations now.
Why do you think there is this fascination with mixed species children? (I remember there were many cases in Star Trek, Spock being the most famous.)
What do you think is the point they are trying to make?
- 25 May 2011 at 13:16
- Zort70 said...
Hi Amused, I think it stems from the human tendency to fear the unkown.
If you take the fairly recent history of the last few hundered years, mixed race children were the subject of fascination and much worse.
Also in evolutionary terms children between mixed tribes can ultimately produce a new species.
If you think of the Neanderthals they could be considered to be the terestrial humans in The Event so another species turning up would be evolutionary disaster for us.

Now on to Embracing Etiquette with Teresa...
Size Up Your Annoyances
Let it go. If the annoyance is small, such as a person paying with a credit card in a "cash only" line let it go and move on. There are times, especially when a person in a "twenty or less" line at the grocery annoys me, but it is not worth getting killed over. You never know how that person will respond to your comment. They know that they are doing wrong, and nothing you say will change their behavior. In fact, it is not worth wasting your emotional energy on.
Monday we will cover "Taking Responsibility for Your Own Actions."
See you soon,

Outside the South grits are a foreign and sometimes weird food. There's no doubt that they can be phenomenally bad. The worst grits I ever had were "cheese" grits at a waffle house outside of Charlotte, NC, in the late 1980s: a bowl of grits with a slice of American cheese food product on top. Disgraceful. They should have known better (and probably did, more to their shame).
Grits at their best are another thing all together, and this cheese grits casserole comes close.
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup grits (best to use stone ground if you can get them, otherwise regular grits will work, but under no circumstances consider "instant" grits)
- 6 oz grated sharp cheddar (1 1/2 cups); use other cheeses as desired–Gouda is fabulous.
- 1/2 cup butter
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 2-quart ceramic or glass baking dish. Cook grits according to package directions. Remove from heat and add 1 cup cheese, and butter. Stir until melted. Add milk, eggs, and pepper; mix well. Pour into baking dish and sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
Bake for 1 hour or until golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
- 1lb canned cut up mushrooms
- 1 box Uncle Ben's Wild Rice mix
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 lb. country sausage
- 1/2 cup cream
- Seasoned salt
- Tabasco, salt, pepper to taste
Cook rice according to package. Saute sausage and onions until brown & soft. Add cream, chicken soup, and spices. Mix in chopped mushrooms. Pour into casserole and bake 20 to 30 minutes until bubbly.
Macaroni and cheese is a classic comfort food. Recently, we've come across goat gouda, which is an amazing hard cheese from the Netherlands with a sweet, caramelly butterscotch flavor. Great as a snack, even better in mac & cheese.
- 8 oz penne rigati or other short, tubular pasta of your choice
- 3 Tbs butter
- 3 Tbs flour
- 1/2 Cup milk
- dash salt
- few grinds of white pepper
- 4 oz goat Gouda, grated
Cook pasta until al dente. Meanwhile, make a classic bechamel sauce: melt butter in a 2 qt saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour to form a roux, then stir in milk, salt, and pepper and cook until it starts to thicken. Add cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Add drained pasta and stir until well-coated.

Our society is more than a little confused about sex and relationships. For all our advanced technology, society as a whole has not advanced much in the direction of being sex positive.
In your journey to erotic fulfillment, deep intimacy and ecstasy, it's very easy to get caught between the gears out there in the world. Either you're a slut or a puritan. Either there are no boundaries (and no safety) or the boundaries are punishing (and soul-killing).
Instead of all that
- What if you had a great love life – and also deeply loved your whole life?
- Imagine being free to speak your truth and comfortable asking for what you want.
- What if you felt free to let go and fully enjoy your body?
- Imagine becoming a magnetic and masterful lover.
- What would change for you if the mental noise quieted down so you could enjoy every moment fully?
I can guide you safely on this journey to the satisfying intimacy you want and deserve.
In private one-on-one sessions, I work directly with you to remove whatever obstacles are in your path and give you easy-to-use tools so you can transform your experience of sex, relationships and intimacy to create the erotic fulfillment and nourishing intimacy you want.
I have helped thousands of clients all over the world, and I can help you too.
Through the years, I have helped clients who struggled with many issues, including:
- Being more playful, relaxed and happy (including in bed)
- Body image concerns that block intimacy
- We want to be enjoying sex, not arguing about it!
- Resolving patterns that create obstacles in your experience of dating, relating and sex.
- Starting to have sex again (or moving towards it) in their marriage or relationship
- Creating deeper connection with new or longstanding intimate partners
- Overcoming shame and guilt.
- Letting go of the fear of being touched
- Stopping the mental noise and self-judgment that is preventing pleasure and intimacy
- Dealing with anxiety or depression and its impact on sex, dating and relationships
- Enjoying sex, touch and intimacy after trauma or violence
- Being shy or a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and navigating dating, sex and relationships
- Finding a life partner and dealing with frustrations in the process
- Reclaiming sexual pleasure after childbirth (or with young children)
- Many relationship problems
- Transforming erection problems or premature ejaculation (in self or a partner)
- Resolving inability to orgasm (in self or partner)
- Being a partner to someone with any of the concerns listed here
- Uncertainty about sexual identity (in self or partner)

How sex & intimacy coaching works
We start with a no cost conversation where you share with me what is up for you and we talk about what you want to experience instead.
From there I'll show you a map of what it will take to get there, and you can decide if you believe I can help you and want to go forward. (Since what you believe will dramatically affect your results, I don't want to work with anyone who thinks I can't help them.)
In the process of working together, I will offer you practical tools and help you see and change ways that you are unconsciously sabotaging your progress.
Private coaching sessions include a combination of the following elements, custom designed based on your needs, goals, personality and learning style.
- Heartfelt dialog
- Assessment
- Acknowledgement of your journey, challenges, joys, dreams and desires
- Thought-provoking questions
- Insights and guidance
- Problem-solving and trouble-shooting
- Role play of challenging conversations
- Energy healing techniques to help you remove blocks so that moving forward is easier and more fun
- Body-based practices and exercises
- Activities and inquiries (homework) to help you keep the momentum going between sessions.
You may schedule a single session or a series or regular sessions (such as every week, every two weeks or every month).
Because energy transcends time and space, sessions are equally effective remotely as when attended in person. I have been working by phone for years and there are many reasons this method can be more effective than meeting in person when dealing with issues as sensitive as sex and intimacy concerns.
Note: All clients are adults (at least 18 years of age). If you're looking for sex education for youth, please visit Scarleteen.
Confidence, Authenticity and Aliveness
Sometimes our work together will be about sexuality and relationships.
And it's about so very much more.
It's about your having the richest and fullest expression of a meaningful life well-lived.
It's about helping you find confidence, authenticity and aliveness so that all of your life – includiing sex and relationships – is truly rich and satisfying.
You are welcome here
I help people of all shapes, sizes, ages (18+), abilities, genders and sexual orientations.
Some are more traditional in their sexual and relationship interests and expression. Others are very adventurous in the sexual activities and relationships that interest them.
Whether you feel that you fit into a common cultural stereotype or if you feel like an outsider, you are welcome here.
My focus is to help people experience the pleasure and intimacy they long for, and to help them experience being comfortable in their skin, to feel accepted and authentically themselves, vital and fully alive.
Some people come to me having challenges, sometimes things they have been struggling with for years. Others are doing okay, but are eager for something more meaningful, something more alive and authentic.
Each person is unique in what they want and in what will best help them reach their goals and dreams. It would be my joy to meet you where you are today and to accompany you on part of your journey toward a more fully alive and vibrant experience of life, sex and relationships.
Whoever you are and wherever you are in your journey, my heart is open. You are welcome here.

See further notes below. If you are experiencing financial hardship see "what if I can't afford it?" under questions and answers.
Couple's & Triads Sex Coaching & Relationship Coaching Programs
Intimacy coaching for couples and triads is similar to individual coaching, though it does take more time since we are creating a dialog between more than 2 people. Thus, sessions are usually 75 minutes long, conducted on a private teleconference line.Packages can be customized to combine individual and couples sessions.
- Introductory meeting for couples, no cost – schedule here.
- One couple's consultation by phone $225 – pay/schedule here
- 4 couple's coaching sessions over a 1 to 3 month period $825 (save $75) – pay/schedule here
- 8 couple's coaching sessions over a 2 to 4 month period $1,500 (save $300) – pay/schedule here
See further notes below. If you are experiencing financial hardship see "what if I can't afford it?" under questions and answers.
Practical notes for both individual and couple's coaching programs
- For packages, you'll be given a scheduling link after completing payment. For single sessions you'll see the scheduling link first. Make sure to double check that your time zone is listed correctly.
- Your bank/charge statement will show your payment under either Janus Wellness, LLC or Beyond Intimacy.
- Session lengths are approximate. My goal is to work toward a sense of completion at the approximate time. This may be a few minutes longer or shorter. In my experience given that we're dealing with sometimes challenging subject matter, this way you're more likely to finish the session with a feeling of ease, completion and clarity. While some practitioners engage in absolutely rigid clock watching (which is what they are taught to do) I've found that doing so often means that clients are more likely to leave a session feeling stressed because we're stopping in the middle of something important.
In Person Coaching Intensives
In Person Coaching Intensives are available on a very limited basis to select individuals, couples and polyamorous trios or groups.
These half day, full day or multi-day sessions include all the benefits of phone coaching and also offer the chance to go deeper in body based exercises and practices and practical application of the learning. You might think of it as a private workshop.
To help you benefit the most from intensives, usually a series of coaching sessions by phone is part of the process. This ensures assessment, clear objectives for the intensive, as well as follow-up and integration after.
There is tremendous benefit in our having a series of conversations over time where you can go about your life and integrate the learning and exercises/homework between session, then come back to talk with me about your experience.
This is a premium offering. All intensives are custom designed for your learning objectives. Pricing varies accordingly, starting as low as $1,000. The client is also responsible for any applicable expenses (such as travel, meals, accommodation, etc.)
Questions and Answers About Sex Coaching & Relationship Coaching
How long can I take to complete sessions in packages?
When you place your focus on your goals in a concerted way over time – by completing sessions every week or every other week – your progress toward your goals will be much faster. Thus, in order to help you make quick progress with your goals, purchased sessions in the 4 session package expire after 90 days and for the 8 package expire after 180 days. If you have a major life emergency, such as an unexpected hospitalization, an extension is possible and will be evaluated on a case by case basis.
What if I can't afford it?
My hope is that anyone who really wants to do this work can make it happen. Since I have clients ranging from those making multiple 6 figures to others living on limited disability payments, I certainly understand that not everyone is in the same financial situation.
If finances are a challenge, there are several options for you including the many free and low cost resources on this website. I have a very limited number of sliding scale spots for private coaching which might include some negotiating and possibly trading of services, up to half the amount owed. In short, if you're committed then money alone is not a good enough reason to keep you out. Let's talk.

If you have questions, pick a time that works for you and let's talk about them during the free introductory consultation.

How the Material Dialectic Overcame Our Pulpits

How the Material Dialectic Overcame Our Pulpits
Corporate Church Metrics V. Spiritual Growth
How The Material Dialectic Overcame Our Pulpits
By David A. McElroy
August 11, 2014
Critics often say "successful" churches tend to resemble country clubs, and their pastors function more like corporate executives than spiritual leaders or evangelists. We see mega-churches touted as the "feel-good", "seeker friendly" paradigm to emulate. We should ask how this has come about, and look to the Holy Bible and some reputable research. George Barna has long been recognized as a leading researcher of Christian issues, and recently published some shocking facts at OneNewsNow.com this month. Barna says when it comes to a controversy, he found "…less than 10% of pastors who say they will speak to it." Who will rebuke evil if our pastors will not?
Why are some 90% of pastors, reported by Barna, avoiding controversy and carefully sidestepping certain biblical issues relevant to today's circumstances? Barna says, as many have suspected, "Controversy keeps people from being in the seats, controversy keeps people from giving money, from attending programs." And the measure of a church's success, as taught in seminary courses on church administration and quarterly business ddddreports, comes down to five metrics Barna cites:
1. Attendance (number of people)
2. Giving (number of dollars)
3. Programs (number of budgeted activities)
4. Staff (number of persons on payroll)
5. Square Footage (number of facilities)
How did these corporate metrics come to overwhelm the church and supplant the drive for biblical teaching and spiritual growth in Christ? I would posit that church boards and pastors, and, yes, the seminaries, have fallen to these metrics because material things can be precisely measured, whereas spiritual matters do not lend themselves to any system of measure. Spiritual growth is a personal matter science is not equipped to measure. And business practices demand the numbers, precise measures, statistical data. Church boards are dominated by businessmen serving as deacons, pastors, or elders, and most prominent givers are also the business people who do the math and demand accountability. But what would Jesus do?
I recall Christ let Judas handle the money in his ministry, and we know how he wound up!
Jesus always said it was his mission to do the will of his Father in Heaven. What did the Lord God Almighty say about doing things by the numbers? Read I Chronicles 21:1-8, where it begins: "And Satan provoked David to number Israel…" God expressly forbade King David from numbering his people to know the strength of Israel. God wanted the king to trust God's strength rather than the number of his troops, but David wanted that statistical information and numbered them anyway. Statistics are the measure of the state, and most statisticians are employed by governments. Do we trust God, or the numbers?
Churches, through the science of mathematics employed in business administration, have followed the state's corporate model in doing everything by the numbers. Speaking of the five "successful church" metrics, Barna says "Now all of those things are good measures, except for one tiny fact: Jesus didn't die for any of them." And I would note that the fruits of the spirit are not among those five measures. Christ died to save souls that they might have eternal life abundantly in spiritual growth. Christ gave the Great Commission for our souls' salvation and spiritual growth, not numbers in business ledgers or impressive stacks of brick and mortar with stained glass windows! He did not die so men with Texas-sized egos could prance on TV begging for money!
Why do things by the numbers? Fear of loss, the quest for material gain. What does the epistle of Paul to the Philippians say about this in 3:7-8 ? Paul wrote: "But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ." What are we willing to lose for Christ? Are you willing, as Christ bids, to take up your cross and follow him to the bloody end? Or is a cushy pew in an air-conditioned atmosphere of non-controversial happy talk saturated with coffee and donuts your priority? What is your church board or pastor willing to risk following Christ? What loss will you bear for Jesus? Would you face beheading for the Lord Jesus like our brothers and sisters in Iraq? Why are we in prosperous churches risking nothing to rescue them?
We are called to battle evil as Christian soldiers clad in the full armor of God as we read in Ephesians 6:10-20. Christianity is not a spectator sport or a life of leisure. When Christ sent his disciples out as his emissaries, we read in Mark 6:8 that he "…commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only: no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse." Today, ministers expect a generous salary, a nice office, a comfy house, and a church vehicle… perhaps even a plush Gulfstream jet!
Chuck Baldwin, a prominent non-denominational Baptist pastor expounded upon Barna's research in his New Research: Pastors Deliberately Keeping Flock In The Dark , which was published in News With Views online. Baldwin is among the proponents of the unregistered church movement, refusing the 501©(3) tax exemption Uncle Sam grants through the Internal Revenue Service. The primary issue is that the federal statute for that monetary consideration requires the church to obey and conform to all federal laws and policies, surrendering the headship of Christ to Uncle Sam. True Christians know Christ is the head of the church and will never surrender his Lordship. The Apostle Paul suffered execution in Rome because he refused to say Caesar was his god. Jesus Christ said , "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's…" in Mark 12:17. Do you even know the difference? Have you or your church been sucked into Caesar's game of numbers, the trap of mammon? Who is referenced in the motto on our coins that says "In God We Trust"? Which "God"? Do you know the meaning of that pyramid on the back of your dollar bills? Look it up. Could you perhaps do with less of Caesar's currency and move to an alternative means of exchange? Will you submit to the "cashless society" and accept the Mark of the Beast ? It is coming!
Military chaplains are forbidden to pray in Jesus' name or display a cross in the chapels, Gideon Bibles are prohibited in military hotels, and the Ten Commandments are not to be seen on public property. The Bible, Jesus, and prayer are forbidden in public schools. And the pulpits are largely silent on these and other issues. Alcohol, adultery, Freemasonry, pornography, homosexuality, abortion, class war, and other things are overlooked in "not wanting to offend" with talk of sin. Hell is not a pleasant subject! The pews and collection plates must be filled, the church must be, like Disneyland, "the happiest place on Earth"!
Now "President Obama has issued an executive order that requires Christians , Christian groups, and Christian ministries to have no management restriction on transgendered or homosexual lifestyles in their organizations," reports the election forum.org August 11th.
The order applies to all organizations benefiting from federal funding, like financial aid to Christian college students and religious social service ministries. The forum article said "The president now has ordered that the only way a Christian or Christian group can work with the US government is to deny their Christian beliefs and values." Indeed!
Soon the five corporate metrics for the "successful church" will bring us to where we find communist China's state approved churches: large impressive bodies constrained by the metrics of the material dialectic offering a watered-down partial gospel, speaking of God but denying the power thereof as they prostrate themselves before Mammon, Molech, and Lucifer! Onward Christian soldiers, the battle is joined! Forget about the numbers. Trust God!
In Christ's love for Truth, Justice, & Liberty for All,
David A. McElroy

Hood Build - Week 35/37
Time for the latest update and again I have found myself 3 weeks in arrears, not a problem as it turns out. Issue 35 introduces us to some metal work (brass etching). I found it odd they have given us some P/E (photo-etch) now rather than complete the hull, but on looking over what is left to do on the hull it does make sense as the quarterdeck planks right up, which means we need to finish part of the deck below the shelter deck.
I've done my own thing on some of the brass work so don't think you have to follow, it works for me but it may not work for you. I want to find the easiest way to do certain jobs so making bespoke tools for the job is for me part of the hobby. You'll also notice I've changed the way the pictures look, I think it works well, I can get more in and it look good as well. As I write this update I've received Issue 38, more P/E and moving further towards the bow of the ship, it also uses parts from Issue 35 (doors), bit of bending this time.

Hood Build - Week 29/34
Part 2 -
I've spent all week after work and this long weekend to finish the second planking..to say I'm relived is an understatement, I'll spent some time carefully sanding and shaping the hull over the next few days. Part 1 of the planking was on the starboard side, I'll now continue on the port side of the hull. I've approached this in a different way from the magazine and I personally think its the better way. I was working up till 10pm last night so the picture came out a little yellow, so I've adjusted them in Photoshop, that's why they look a little washed out.
Also a new graphic for each week (trying to keep things fresh) showing a percentage bar and figure in % of where we are on the build. The figure is based on a percentage of 140 (Issues) and the bar may not be totally accurate, it's only for a quick visual guide to the progress of my build/Issues.

My travels to UAE and Oman in 2015 – part 2
Today I was going to visit the city of Al Ain located 120 kms south of Dubai. The fourth largest city in the UAE. Al Ain is known as the Garden City due to it greenery nature and it oasis. Al Ain is also the birthplace of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the first president of the United Arab Emirates.
The minibus from Dubai to Al Ain was 20 AED (£3.75) and the journey took one and half hours to two hours.
I was keen to visit the cultural sights that make up the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Al Ain. The citation of the Al Ain entry in the UNESCO World Heritage Site list describes Al Ain as having multiple locations for it citation. That being the examples of construction, agricultural use and water management in the desert since protohistory.
The designated Al Ain World Heritage Site is a serial nomination of 17 locations.
First on my sightseeing was the Al Jahili fort.
The fort has no admission fees. A lone security guy sits on a chair in the shade.
The fort is open everyday except Monday. The fort is also closed on Friday mornings.
At the time of my visit, there was no other visitors and except for the lone security officer sitting on chair, I had the fort all to myself.
in the northeastern corner is the two-storey building which was used for receptions and guests of the Sheikh.
The Al Jahili fort is one if the UAE most historic buildings. It was constructed in 1891 to defend the city and protect it palm groves.
In 1951, the fort was the headquarters of the Oman Trucial Scouts that protected the mountain passes and kept inter-tribal peace.
The scouts were renamed the Union Defence Force (UDF) upon the formation of the Unitied Arab Emirates in 1971.
In the southwestern corner of the fort is the round tower.
The round tower consists of four concentric tiers.
In the 1980's the fort was handed over to the Department of Antiquities and Tourism which carried out restoration work to restore the fort to it original status.
I went for a walk outside the fort.
Another restoration phase in 2007-8 by the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage (ADACH) saw the fort houses a Visitor Information Centre with a shop and cafe, facilities for outdoor cultural events and wider exhibition spaces.
After my sightseeing at the fort I then went to the Al Ain Palace Museum.
The palace is the former home of the late UAE founder, Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
The palace was built in 1910 and in 1998 the palace became a museum.
The palace has no admission fees.
The Al Ain Oasis is the largest oasis in Al Ain. The oasis is 3000 acres and contains over 147,000 dates palms.
It was easy to get lost inside the oasis.
The oasis is known for its underground irrigation system "falaj" which brings water from boreholes to water farms and palm trees.
The falaj irrigation is an ancient system dating back thousands of years.
Other crops grown here are mangoes, oranges, bananas and figs.
Inside the oasis there are remains of an old fortification and an mosque.
Heading back into the city centre, I passed the mosque.
I decided to go to the market.
An assortment of fresh fruit and meat is available here.
Next on my sightseeing was to visit the Al Ain National museum.
Al Ain National museum is the oldest museum in the UAE. Opened in 1971, the museum features displays on the city's exclusive heritage and history.
The museum is housed in the same compound as the Sultan Bin Zayed Fort (also known as the Eastern Fort) which was built in 1910 and is well conserved.
The museum is 3 AED (£0.60) admission. As with other attractions in Al Ain, the museum is close on Mondays and closed on Friday mornings.
The Eastern fort was constructed a 100 years ago by Sheikh Sultan bin Zayed Al Nahyan and served as a residence to his family since then and until he succeeded as the ruler of Abu Dhabi in 1922.
It was converted to a museum and opened to the public in 1971.
The fort is quite small and is only 35 metres in length on each side.
After my sightseeing, it was time to head back to Dubai and my luxury *ahem* hotel.
Tomorrow, I was going to go scuba diving on the east coast of UAE and Oman.
To be continued….

This new study (watch video below) claims that eating chicken during pregnancy may affect the size and development of boy fetus's penis and scrotum due to phthalate contamination of the meat. If this (coupled with the obvious ethical, health, and environmental reasons) isn't enough to get off the bird-guzzling, we aren't sure what is.
Chickens killed for their flesh in the United States are bred and drugged to grow so quickly that their hearts, lungs, and limbs often can't keep up. Read more about chickens. Hens used for eggs live six or seven to a battery cage the size of a file drawer, thousands of which are stacked tier upon tier in huge, filthy warehouses. Read more about laying hens. Egg-industry expert Bernard Rollins writes that "chickens are cheap; cages are expensive." They are fed drugs to fatten them faster and to keep them alive in conditions that would otherwise kill them. Many animals become crippled under their own weight and die within inches of water and food. While the suffering of all animals on factory farms is similar, each type of farmed animal faces different types of cruelty, Chickens are the most abused of all farm animals.
They are smart creatures who have a discernible language that scientists have noted. Chickens are very social animals – they will fight to protect their family and will mourn when a loved one is lost. As Herbivore's tee shirts state "Wings are meant for flying, not frying." A-fricking-MEN.

I couldn't help but have a heyday with it in a recent post.
LOVE Dr. Greger!

Dumbest thing I have ever heard. It's fine to be a vegetarian but by spreading things that are so obviously un-tested, you make yourself look like just another anti-meat website that is trying to scare people into not eating it. Yes factory farming is bad for everyone-including "treatment" of animals in mass slaughterhouses but the rest of this article is just silly. Did these scientists check all male penises and ask their mothers what they ate while the males were in-utuero? I used to like your website but this is just idiotic.
I do not think this is mis-information from vegans. These is an effect of eating phthalate contaminated chicken. This is a real problem.

TIGA with DIE ANTWOORD, AZARI & III, PAUL KALBRENNER, SETH TROXLER and many others at Sound Academy (11 Polson), tonight (Thursday, November 1), 8 pm. $35. PDR, RT, SS, TW. See listing.
Don't call it a comeback, but veteran Montreal DJ/producer Tiga's label, Turbo, has been ramping up lately, and its flood of new releases includes some of the best dance-floor smashers it's ever put out.
"You're not imagining that," Tiga Sontag says from a Barcelona hotel room. "We suddenly have a lot of great new artists on Turbo, which makes for a lot of momentum. It has an exponential effect on the label, because the more good tracks you put out, the more you attract other good artists who want to work with you."
But don't credit Turbo's upswing to the explosion of the North American dance music scene that resulted from the popularity of EDM artists like Deadmau5 and Skrillex. Tiga's market and sound have always been more Europe-based, and continue to be. He sees the difference between the scenes as more chemical than geographic.
"The one area where I really do see a dividing line is drugs. What I mean by that is that there is music that's based on a tradition of psychedelia and losing yourself all night in a club - by which I mean house and techno. And then there's EDM, which is music more based on a drinking and rock 'n' roll model: staring at the stage and losing your shit for an hour.
"To me, the important line to draw is between which of those traditions you're coming from. There's a place for both, but they often get put into the same conversation even though they're completely different."
You could argue that people are doing drugs (and/or drinking) at both types of events, but Tiga's right that classic house and techno play by a very different set of rules than what's currently called EDM on this side of the Atlantic.
The sounds you'd hear at 5 am in a Berlin after-hours club are miles away from the big outdoor stages of the North American festival scene. It's the hypnotic and twisted aspects of the former that Tiga showcases on his upcoming DJ mix compilation, Tiga Non Stop (Different/PIAS).
"Electronic music has grown up within this tradition of sub-genres, of bisecting everything into styles like trip-hop, acid house, drum 'n' bass. We don't even think about it any more. Because of that, though, people look at these different categories as all being united as dance music.
"But the pool has become so big that there's not much that connects someone like David Guetta and Richie Hawtin. It's like, how much are Garth Brooks and Coldplay connected? Yes, they both use guitars and play stadiums, but no one compares them or puts them in the same realm."

Well, Miss XaXa prefers "fruit fly" as an appellation (not for nothing is her middle name "Drosophila"), but you get the drift.
It is no secret that Miss XaXa has had a crush on former cheftestant Carlos Fernandez from the very beginning. It didn't matter that Carlos is gay and is married to a lovely chap named Chuck (she even found it vaguely endearing that they both have the same name, albeit in different languages).
Indeed, despite Carlos' married gayhood, it had always been one of Miss XaXa's wine-soaked fantasies--visions of sin stoked by Zin--to tuck her chulo chef into bed and read him excerpts from Diana Vreeland's D.V. as a bedtime story while the strains of Grace Jones doing her take on "La vie en rose" played soothingly in the background.
After Carlos was eliminated on the Thanksgiving episode, Miss XaXa was disconsolate and inconsolable. Now that a month has elapsed, she finally brought herself to read her chulo chef's blog, only to encounter this statement by Carlos about Mia Gaines-Alt:
And I will always remember the time you tucked me into bed!
We have rarely seen Miss XaXa in such a state. The outraged arias of "How could he?" gave way to a kind of understanding. Her fruit fly qualifications are second to none, but, she wailed to us, "I never stood a chance!"
We gave her our nun-embroidered Irish linen handkerchief. "I suppose I can't blame him. I mean, gay culture wouldn't even exist if it weren't for fierce black women singing in earthshattering tones some combination of the words 'love,' 'pride,' 'party,' 'deep,' and 'show' against a thumpa-thumpa beat, so how could any gay man resist a fierce black woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to celebrity hairstylist José Eber and dresses like the wardrobe mistress on Brokeback Mountain?" she queried rhetorically as she sobbed in the women's shoe department at Neiman-Marcus.
Now it's true that when Miss XaXa visited Mia earlier this month at her restaurant, Feed the People!, she found Mia to be gracious and warm, and her food delicious. But how differently things might have been if Miss XaXa had known about the tucking in. And now she has a message for Mia: "You know what? Your cornbread wasn't very good! So you go ahead and 'feed the people,' but keep your hands off my gays!"

Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
Our mission is to promote opportunities for our vendors to earn income and develop work skills, but also to help share the stories and experience of people facing these hard times that are actively working to change their situation. By supporting Groundcover, customers not only provide financial support for folks who really need it, but also get to interact in a way that helps change the social perceptions of poverty in our community
Groundcover News, a 501(c)(3) organization, was founded in 2010 as a means to empower low-income persons to make the transitions from homeless to housed, and from jobless to employed.
The basic structure is that trained and certified vendors buy the papers from the Groundcover News Organization for 25 cents, and then sell the paper for a suggested donation of $1. In addition to the direct financial support that this provides for our vendors, selling Groundcover also develops skills that people can use to transition to other employment opportunities, while it educates the community at large about the struggles the poor face daily.

One of the most common methods of generating power and speed, push & pull can be found in many movement forms. The technique, quite simply put, involves the simultaneous pushing of one side while pulling with the other.
The first time I learned push & pull was when a friend was showing me the proper way to cut with a katana. At the end of the swing, push down with the front hand while pulling back with the rear hand.
This is a natural harmony of counteracting forces. The momentum generated by the push aids in the ease of the pull, and vice versa. Another example of this technique is found in the class 1-2 (jab-cross) combination in boxing. The pulling back of the jab (left hand) assists and naturally leads into the pushing forward of the cross (right hand).
In my own movement practice, push & pull has come up repeatedly in acrobatics. A perfect example is in the aerial, which is a cartwheel in the air. The move relies heavily on push & pull to generate enough height and torque/rotation to complete.
Pushing with my inside leg initiates the jump and lateral momentum. Pulling with my outside leg complements the jump (helping me reach higher) while also speeding up my lateral momentum and getting me through the move before I lose my height.
Push & pull can be utilized in most movements. I've seen it in basic functions like running, jumping, and climbing to advanced techniques in kicking and twisting. The next time you explore your movement practice, try to look for places to incorporate some push & pull.
Happy moving 🙂
Hey, great and concise article! Keep 'em coming 🙂
Thanks. Interesting. I think push and pull are basically natural though. The problem appears when a person naturally and unthinkingly uses one side of the body to push and the other has to pull, causing an imbalance and later balance and joint problems.

How would you protect your freedoms?
- What is the significance of Connecticut's contribution to America's story?
- How were the beginnings of a national identity created by colonies with very different purposes and varied governmental and economic systems?
Things you will need to teach this lesson.
As a colony of England and English rule, Connecticut originally did not have any rights to govern themselves or even to make local laws. In 1662, King Charles II wrote a charter granting Connecticut the right to elect local leaders and even to create laws. The "Connecticut Charter" became an issue when King Charles II died and his brother, James II became the next king. James II didn't want the Connecticut colony to have that much autonomy, so in 1667 he sent an ambassador, Sir Edmond Andros, to recall the charter.
During an interesting turn of events, in which colonist leaders and Andros met to debate the charter, the candles in the room suddenly went out. When order was restored, the charter, which had been on the table between the parties, was missing. It had been hidden in the trunk of a white oak tree so that it would be safe from Andros.
The Charter Oak became a symbol of American independence. Today, the image of the Charter Oak is commemorated on the Connecticut state quarter.
Write the following question-focus statement on the board:
The legend of the Charter Oak is the story of our independence.
Have students generate questions, in small groups, to reflect on this statement. Narrow the list down to closed questions (ones that have a definite answer) and open questions (inquiry). Have students chose one or two to research.
Have students consider:
- How might the history of the United States have turned out if the charter had not been taken?
- Why did James II decide to take the charter back after his brother, Charles II, had issued it to the colonies?
Have students take the sides of the colonists and the English ambassadors and create a reenactment of the events. What would have been discussed? What would have happened if the ambassadors had taken the charter?
The Connecticut state flag does not contain the Charter Oak. Create a new design for the state flag that would include this iconic image.

WASHINGTON -- Orioles pitching prospect Dylan Bundy will be limited to 75 pitches per outing this season -- no matter where he ends up, manager Buck Showalter said Tuesday.
But that pitch count doesn't preclude him from joining the Orioles at some point this season or even starting games at the major league level.
"No, some people actually throw six innings with 75 pitches, too," Showalter said.
Bundy, 21, is recovering from Tommy John elbow ligament reconstruction surgery last June and has pitched in four minor league games this season. He is scheduled to pitch Thursday for High-A Frederick, where he won't throw over 75 pitches.
"That's something we are probably not going to waver from. We probably could if we had to. I'm kind of cautious when people bring up Bundy as an option at some point [with the Orioles]," Showalter said. "First, he's got to figure out the Carolina League a little bit. But right now, the plan is to limit him to 75 max all year."
It's something in which minor league medical coordinator Dave Walker and his staff believe and has shown to be effective, Showalter said.
"Their track record down there is real good, and we're gonna lean on them," Showalter said. "[Bundy] is pitching. He is back a little earlier than he was supposed to, and he is pitching competitively and professionally and moving right along. So I don't get into that ahead and behind schedule, he is right where he is supposed to be."
The hope all along has been that Bundy will join the Orioles at some point later this season — maybe for September call-ups — and provide another option in the bullpen or, potentially, the rotation.
But the Orioles are not putting a timetable on his return.
Around the horn
Triple-A Norfolk right hander Suk-min Yoon has received treatment on his shoulder and will return to action later this week. He is on the minor league disabled list with a right shoulder impingement. … Right-hander Ramon Ramirez cleared waivers and was outrighted to Norfolk, the Orioles announced Tuesday. … Right-hander Steve Johnson, who has dealt with shoulder issues, will pitch Wednesday for short-season Single-A Aberdeen. He'll be limited to two innings or 30 pitches. … Sparrows Point High School teacher Thomas Arentz was selected by fans as the Orioles' All-Star teacher. He'll be recognized before the All-Star Game on Tuesday.

Jim Cramer knows from his years of investing on the stock market that if a theme is strong enough, money will flood into it.
Right now Cramer sees two powerful industries, cybersecurity and the organic and natural food trends, with money going right into whatever investments it can find.
A perfect example of this to Cramer was when Palo Alto Networks reported its quarter on Wednesday night. While this stock may seem expensive to some, Cramer thinks it deserves to be expensive. As the premier, best-in-breed of cybersecurity companies, it stunned investors with 55 percent revenue growth and 8 percent higher sales from the previous quarter.
This all signals nothing but good news for Cramer.
"This may be the single hottest stock I follow," the "Mad Money" host said.

New Date Being Sought for Super Six World Boxing Classic Final
WBA Super Middleweight Champion Andre Ward received a significant cut above his right eye this past Thursday in a sparring session, which has caused a postponement of his October 29th pairing with WBC Super Middleweight Champion Carl Froch. Promoters now seek a new date for the world title unification bout, which is also the final of the Super Six World Boxing Classic.
"I'm extremely disappointed about this cut," Ward said of the injury. "We used every precaution, including headgear with a face bar, and it was just a fluke situation. My sparring partner and I were involved in an exchange inside, and the next thing I knew, I was bleeding. That is the most frustrating thing about this. I don't have an explanation for how it happened."
Ward received seven stitches for the cut, and he will not have them removed until next Thursday, which led to the postponement of this fight.
"We were in full camp and counting down the days until October 29," Ward continued. "At this point, I'm looking forward to healing up and getting a new date to finish what I started and become the Super Six Champion."
Ward was apologetic for the injury, and he confirmed that this bout will lose no luster in its delayed version.
"I'd like to express my apologies to SHOWTIME, the fans and the Froch camp, but this is part of boxing," he stated. "Ward and Froch will still get it on, but, unfortunately, the date just has to be pushed back."
On the flip side of the equation, Froch did not take the news very well, and he expressed his frustration in his response.
"This is absurd and unprofessional. Ward needs to get his act together," Froch remarked. "Of course, you've got to take the medical advice seriously, but for a cut to put you out of a fight a full five weeks before the event is ludicrous. If it were two weeks out from the fight, maybe I'd understand. But he's got 35 days to deal with it. To me, he's showing his weakness. Nothing changes for me. I'll be ready if and when he shows up."
The announcement regarding the new date for the Super Six World Boxing Classic Final is expected to be revealed sometime in the next few weeks.

I managed to get my scanner working! It took a lot of headaches with uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, but at last my scanner isn't a cat bed anymore. Anyhoo, I bring drawings… but not many. I have been feeling more inspired this week since I'm getting back into writing, so maybe I'll bring better things next time. Well, I'm just going to go ahead and add my
pointless commentaries.
**Sidenote: All of these images are automatically hyperlinked by WP to open to its full size (most of these are about 2000×3000 I believe). Thanks WP! :U
I wish I was able to draw things like buildings and landscapes because I have so many ideas that I want to sketch out. Maybe I should just do it regardless of how shitty I think it will look, you know? I really have to get over this idea that every drawing needs to be done quickly. If I got over that then I could keep returning to the same drawing over and over until it looked infinitely better than the type of things I draw in a 20-40 minute span.
*sigh* Okay then. I'm going to tackle writing and drawing some more. Next time I might post an excerpt from the story if I feel confident enough with my progress to do that. I should also consider uploading some of these drawings to my website and deviant art whenever I find the motivation to. Blah…
Alright. That's it for today. >_<


text: It is quite old(September) video, but very interesting one. Slide of four wheel drivetraine, statistic that total li-ion industry produced 27GWh in 2012 and Tesla alone expect to consume 40GWh batteries in five years. And nice life-cycle comparison of Model S vs S class in terms of CO2 or kWh. And only 350 views so far, so I assume not many people saw this video.

I would love to use that opportunity to educate Matlin about the sort of inclusion that the Ruderman Foundation promotes. Because, while its staff members do write and speak much about true inclusion and accessibility for people with disabilities, the Foundation has also evidently developed a close relationship with Aleh, the leading chain of large, closed institutions for people with disabilities in Israel.
That "marriage" is akin to the tobacco industry hitching up with the AMA, or Coca Cola with an anti-obesity organization.
Oops. That last marriage actually took place [see Popular Science, December 2, 2015] But when its existence - and the influence exerted by Coca Cola on the organization - were revealed by the New York Times, the partners promptly "divorced":
The Global Energy Balance Network (GEBN), an organization founded to help combat obesity, will be disbanding after months of criticism following a New York Times report back in August that revealed Coca-Cola had funded the organization. The group wiped its website clean, leaving a post that said it was discontinuing operations "due to resource limitations".
|Image Source
Nevertheless, the hasty disbanding of that organization, GEBN, contrasts with Ruderman Foundation's attitude towards Aleh.
A year ago, we alerted the Ruderman Foundation -- via an article I wrote for this blog ["Israel is in love with institutions", April 4, 2016], in a May 2016 Algemeiner op ed, and in my husband's phone conversation with its spokesperson -- to the hypocrisy in its "partnership" with a chain of institutions for people with disabilities.
The Foundation says on its website that it is committed to the following:
"Guided by our Jewish values, we advocate for and advance the inclusion of people with disabilities throughout our society; foster a more nuanced understanding of the American Jewish community among Israeli leaders; and model the practice of strategic philanthropy worldwide..."Aleh's warehousing of infants, children and adults with disabilities is nothing short of the antithesis of that purported goal.
The Ruderman Foundation did not respond to us in any substantive way.
To this day, you can still find a blog post on its website ["Positive Impact"] extolling the virtues of Aleh Negev and its so-called prisoner rehabilitation program. It's a post that dates back to October 2013. (Here's some of my December 2016 criticism of that program: "Can Aleh get its prisoners story straight?")
You can also still find on Aleh's Facebook page a post from 2015 boasting of its partnership with the Ruderman Foundation. The Foundation doesn't seem disturbed by Aleh's exploitation of its name to erase the taint of exclusion and isolation.
Today, as I was typing this post, Bizchut began circulating a stellar video clip ("Make room") promoting inclusion that it produced with sponsorship from the Ruderman Foundation. (In Hebrew and with English-language subtitles.)

Gaza rockets strike Israel: army
"Moments ago multiple rockets were fired at Israel from the Gaza Strip," a statement read. "Forces are searching the area."
A military spokeswoman told AFP that two rockets hit Israel, with no immediate injuries or damage reported.
Since the end of the devastating war between Israel and Gaza militants in the summer of 2014, nearly 30 projectiles fired from the Hamas-controlled Palestinian enclave hit the Jewish state, according to military data.
Sunni militants claiming links to the Islamic State jihadist group have said they were behind rocket fire from the Palestinian enclave in recent months, but Israel holds Hamas responsible for all such incidents.
Earlier on Friday, two Palestinians were moderately wounded by Israeli gunfire after they stormed the border fence in northern Gaza, the Israeli army and Gaza medics said.

Doris Richards, 1937-2009
The lives of many dogs throughout the country were changed due to the activism and hard work of Doris Richards, who died July 27. Richards helped to start the Ohlone Dog Park, the first in the nation, and succeeded in keeping the park open despite several attempts to close it down. She served as president of the Ohlone Dog Park Association (ODPA) from 1985 to 2002.
Richards helped people around the country—indeed, around the world—start dog parks. As a result, the limited canine existence of leashed walks and hanging out in backyards was, for many dogs, transformed into one of exuberant play and the chance to run free. It was Richards' entry into civic activism, and she remained dedicated to making a difference until the end of her life.
A colorful storyteller, Richards called the creation of the dog park a true Berkeley happening and a tale of political activism and social concern. Appropriately, it began as an adjunct to the People's Park struggle.
"In the late '70s, People's Park activists planned a takeover of the area along Hearst Street after the city razed the homes there to create a park," Richards was fond of recalling. "The city fenced the area off, and it wasn't being used for anything. Activists cut the fencing at various points during the night. The next day they marched from Telegraph Avenue to Hearst Street and the fence toppled over easily when pushed. There were demonstrations, food, and music. It was a festive time."
People from the neighborhood began hanging out in what was called People's Park Annex, and they brought their dogs. Neighbors raised bail money for those jailed, collected food for the homeless, found, painted and donated lawn furniture. Richards originally got involved because it was just around the corner from where she lived, she had a dog, and "Hey, this is Berkeley."
Eventually, just dogs and neighbors remained, and the idea for the dog park began. As Richards told it, "We were learning that dogs need outings, a social life, and places to run. We started to use it as an off-leash area."
When the city was first approached to create an official park, there were concerns about liability and insurance. By 1983, Berkeley officials had decided to try an experimental dog park. Trees were brought in and an opening ceremony planned, complete with mayor and councilmembers in attendance. The day before the big event, the newly planted trees went into shock and lost all their leaves. So Richards—who is known to have said that if she were to be reborn it would be as a Sheltie because they like to organize and run things—got people together to string up leaves on the trees for the big day.
Threats to the existence of the park began almost immediately. The city began negotiating to transfer the land to BART, and newly arrived neighbors tried to shut the park down. ODPA was formed in 1984 to fend off the attacks. One of the early rules of the association was that you had to have a dog to be a member, so Richards, who was between dogs, was allowed to work for the association and attend meetings, but couldn't become its president until 1985.
However, she quickly organized people and got them to join ODPA and to attend City Council meetings. She designed and ordered teal-colored T-shirts, and, at one critical meeting, councilmembers looked out at a blue sea of 90 people. The vote for the dog park was favorable.
Those members and T-shirts needed to be pulled out more than once as threats to the park's existence continued. During all this, Richards was organizing dog washes to raise funds for ODPA and carnivals for dogs to enjoy competing in recall contests, dunking for hot dogs, and frustrating their two-legged companions in leashed spoon races. She was also taking calls from people locally, nationally and worldwide, advising them on how to start dog parks. With Richards' involvement, dog parks from Point Isabel to Los Angeles, London and several in Finland got started, to name just a few.
The Ohlone Dog Park went on to be designated one of the top 10 dog parks in the country on more than one occasion by Dog Fancy magazine and, in recent years, Berkeley's Parks and Recreation Department has reported that it gets the fewest complaints of all the city's parks and is the most used, as well.
When Richards retired as ODPA president, members had a blue fire hydrant with a plaque in her honor installed at the park, and the city named March 2002 "Doris Richards and Ohlone Dog Park Month." When it was pointed out that dogs do certain things to fire hydrants, Richards' response was a chuckle and the comment, "Don't you just love it?" She is survived by her dog, Tyler, who is in a friend's loving care. Doggone it, Doris Richards will be missed.
