Raiders storm past Farmersville to earn Homecoming victory
By DEVIN HASSON,
Published: Wednesday, October 3, 2012 3:39 PM CDT
There have not been many bigger game, if any, in the short history of the Sunnyvale football program than the one played Friday night.
The Raiders officially started their quest for the first playoff berth in school history with its District 6-2A Division I opener.
Its opponent was a Farmersville team that is new as a district rival, but a team that has forged some successful seasons in recent years.
The Raiders were also hoping to extend their winning streak, adding to their best-ever 4-0 start.
To top it off, Sunnyvale was celebrating its Homecoming that night.
With all that at stake, the Raiders shined, as they overcame an early deficit to roll over Farmersville for a 33-18 victory at Raider Stadium.
Sunnyvale improves to 5-0 for the first time in school history and is 1-0 in district play going into Friday's contest on the road at Caddo Mills.
The Raiders absorbed a pair of haymakers early on against the Farmers, but refused to buckle.
Farmersville opened the game with a 72-yard touchdown pass from Chris Stanley to Jaelon Clark to grab a quick 6-0 lead.
Sunnyvale answered on a 36-yard field goal by Casey Crenshaw, but the Farmers again struck with a big play when Andrew Simons broke free for an 80-yard touchdown run that made it 12-3.
At that point, the Raiders tightened the screws defensively and the offense went to work.
Crenshaw booted his second field goal of the half, this one from 32 yards out, and Abdul Khalif scored on a 5-yard touchdown run to give them a 13-12 lead going into halftime.
Sunnyvale maintained the momentum in the second half, as Ryan Cottingame snuck in from a yard out to push the advantage to 20-12.
The Raiders then took control in the fourth, as Cottingame threw touchdown passes of five and 24 yards to Josh Quinn to make it 33-12.
Farmersville would score once more late in the fourth quarter but it would not make a difference.
It was another well-rounded effort for a Sunnyvale team that has followed that same formula for success through the first half of the season.
Cottingame has completed nearly 60 percent of his passes for 983 yards and 12 touchdowns compared with only three interceptions.
Quinn has been one of the most dangerous targets in the area, turning 10 of his 25 catches into touchdowns, while Daniel Mullican has also been reliable with 16 catches.
Khalif's touchdown run last week was his fifth of the season to go along with 367 yards.
The defense shook off the two early long touchdowns to slam the door against Farmersville. They allowed only six points in the final three quarters, as the Farmers finished with 310 yards and three turnovers.
And then there was the special teams with Crenshaw, who had two field goals and three extra points, and the special teams defense, which held Farmersville on all three two-point attempts.
That is a scary proposition for Caddo Mills on Friday. Caddo Mills has some playmakers in quarterback Damian Newby, running back Daxx Hill and wide receiver Dakota Monroe, but they will be facing a Sunnyvale defense that is allowing only 13.2 points per game.
The Sunnyvale volleyball team evened its District 12-2A record at 3-3 on Tuesday with a 25-13, 25-20, 25-10 victory over Van Alstyne.
The Raiders had been coming off another sweep in their 25-19, 25-18, 26-24 win on Homecoming against Farmersville on Friday.
Of Sunnyvale's three district losses, two have come at the hands of undefeated Pilot Point and another against Caddo Mills.
The Raiders will have a chance to avenge one of those when they travel to face Caddo Mills on Friday. Sunnyvale will then return home to host Leonard on Tuesday.

Two weeks ago, the New York Times' You're the Boss Blog asked the following question:
How do you handle employee litigation?Do you dig in your heels and fight, settle, or some combination of the two?
The NYT's blog post recounted the story of one small business owner who chose to stand his ground and assume the risk of taking an employment case to trial. As a result the employee dropped his settlement demand to a nuisance value, $10,000.
The reality, however, is that there is no easy answer to the question of how your company should respond to a lawsuit by an employee. You must weigh all of the following factors to come to the right decision for your business in each case.
- Is the plaintiff a current or former employee?
- How much can you afford to spend, and will litigation now impede your ability to fund a settlement later?
- Do you have employment practices liability insurance coverage?
- Is there a risk that a settlement will incent other employees to bring claims, or will long, protected litigation deter copycat claims?
- What is your tolerance for the distractions of litigation—responding to discovery, gathering documents, dealing with the hassles of electronic discovery, attending depositions, and attending court dates?
- Do you want to subject your managers, supervisors, and other employees to depositions?
- What is the reputation of the plaintiff's attorney—is s/he going to make the case more difficult and expensive than necessary?
- What is the likelihood the assigned judge will grant a summary judgment motion and dismiss the case?
- How tight or loose are juries in your jurisdiction?

Waterford — Interstate 95 South has been re-opened at exit 82 following a crash involving two tractor-trailer trucks.
State police said traffic is still slow through the area after the 2 p.m. crash. All lanes had been closed for about 30 minutes, forcing vehicles to leave the highway at exit 82 and travel through town. There were no serious injuries.
Traffic is also backed up on I-95 northbound near exit 89 because of construction.
A City Council committee is considering a proposal to ban smoking at city parks and beaches in New London. Should smoking be prohibited in these public places?

Poll: Why do you pack bento lunches?
Why do you pack bento-style lunches, or why do you want to?
I gradually got into bento lunches through a series of coincidences that I wrote about in my profile. I lived in Japan for almost a decade, but didn't pack bentos often until my husband was misdiagnosed with celiac disease, a food intolerance that all but ruled out restaurant meals. Bento-style packing appealed to me as a way to help my husband eat well despite health restrictions.
After the doctors figured out that my husband didn't actually have celiac disease, I drifted back into the bento habit because of my toddler son: one small bento box took up a lot less room in my diaper bag than four or five Tupperware containers. How about you?

December 31st, 2008 at 3:58 amSince I am an "other" I will explain. I have always packed lunches in this way because honestly, sandwiches bored me. Kids at school thought I was weird because I would show up with all these little potions of a variety of things. I used Tupperware midgets and packets I had made out of wax paper to separate things and keep things from getting all over my thermos. It wasn't till I watched Sailor Moon in Japanese (not English as I had when younger) that I realized there was a name for that sort of lunch. Then I found that there were boxes made for that sort of lunch too! The rest is history.
veganf Says:
December 31st, 2008 at 5:01 amOur vegan diet is the #1 reason, first in preschool, now also in public kindergarten. Plus when I have time I pack for my husband too because it's cheaper & healthier. And with a big family and multiple bentos the cost savings is considerable.
The environmental savings is also important to us. We are avoiding heaps of disposable plastic everyday by using reusable lunch containers.
And of course IMO it's just plain fun to cook and prepare an appealing bento for each family member. -
katiya Says:
December 31st, 2008 at 5:25 amI have had interest in bento since I switched over to being vegetarian and now vegan. It's hard to try and find sensible food options on the road or at work. Plus it's nice to be able to control what goes into my body and have a variety of items.
My husband perfers bento mostly as well but on Fridays he opts out for variety lol. He is a former athlete so he likes for me to help keep him on the right track really. Plus he's trying to become a vegetarian and the variety is helping him solidify his choice! -
Nasicae Says:
December 31st, 2008 at 5:41 amI picked 'other' because a small one tier bento box can pakc the right amount of food for my 2 and 1/2 year old. It is not too big or small and he can pretty much eat all of the food without getting too full or still be hungry. Plus wife likes how cute the bento box looks!
Avlor Says:
December 31st, 2008 at 6:44 amI picked other amongst the choices I checked, because I want to make better lunches for my son than we can buy at school. I'm tired of the hot dogs, pizza, corn dogs, chicken nuggets, etc. Yeah the kids eat it. But it doesn't help the kids pay attention and learn. Perhaps some day the school system doesn't figure it out. Until then, I get the privilege of making my son's lunch. It's part of my resolution this year - I'll be starting to consistently make his lunch. Thanks for the inspiration you provide here.
Jenny Says:
December 31st, 2008 at 7:21 amMy bentos are far tastier than buying lunch at work or at a restaurant!
Anastasia Says:
December 31st, 2008 at 8:00 amI'm one of the "others" also. My biggest reason is because I want delicious food every day
When I was buying lunch on campus I often found that there wasn't anything I really wanted to eat. I'd pick something because I had to (or go hungry). When I bring bentos I know I'll enjoy my lunch!
jo Says:
December 31st, 2008 at 8:23 amMy other is that I like little bites of many things rather than one meal of something. We have begun cooking more Japanese and Korean cuisine around our house and it lends itself to little dishes.
ChrisA Says:
December 31st, 2008 at 8:37 amOther: less wasteful of food and plastic bags.
I started doing bentos a year and a half ago after reading your blog, when my daughters were in elementary and middle school. Even with traditional "American lunch food", if I put the same amount of food in plastic bags, the girls won't eat as much of it. We were throwing away so many bags and so much food, but the same food in the bento appeals to them more. Plus, one of my daughters hates sandwiches and most "normal American" lunch food. We don't do much Asian food, but we do now include many more types of foods in bentos than we could in little baggies.
Sophie Says:
December 31st, 2008 at 9:17 amI originally started packing bentos because of a general interest in Japanese culture, and they were just so cute, but as I started packing them I realized that the variety in food is really important for me. When I used to pack "regular" lunches (usually a single leftover or sandwich) I'd get bored with the food and only eat part of it, whereas if I pack multiple different kinds of food, I'm more apt to finish my lunch.
Kaits Says:
December 31st, 2008 at 9:29 amMostly because they're fun, cute and save money.
But the reason I started was my interest in Japanese culture. I started packing them after I found this site, actually.
Monica Says:
December 31st, 2008 at 9:29 amOther: I bento for my husband, as a way of doing something for him. He really appreciates the days I do it, and it's become a way to "bond." A side perk has been that he loses weight when I do it regularly. I started packing bentos after seeing Cooking Cute on Yahoo's "The 9″, I started that very night in some cheap food container! Since that fateful day, we've since had a daughter and she's now in preschool, so I make bento for her, too.
junie12e Says:
December 31st, 2008 at 9:49 amOther: Being from Hawaii, we grew up with bento lunches. Plus it's tastier than sandwiches!
Jenn Says:
December 31st, 2008 at 10:53 amMy kid's preschool has a trash-free lunch policy and bentos are a fun way to meet that requirement.
You're site is *very* inspiring.
al Says:
December 31st, 2008 at 11:11 amhealthiness and money are my main reasons. if i pack straight leftovers from dinner, it tends to be a huge portion of just one thing. bento encourages me to put more variety in my lunches and think about the balance in my diet. if i have to buy my lunches at work, i waste money and wind up eating unhealthy things with ingredients i wouldn't ever cook with.
KCatGU Says:
December 31st, 2008 at 11:17 amI am not a full fledged bento maker like most of you all, mainly because we have a microwave at work and I use it regularly. Alas I work hard to incorporate the principals of bento boxes in my lunch, like the ratios of types of food and storage solutions. I found you blog while searching for an alternative way to take salad dressing to work and haven't stop reading it for over a year.
Raye Says:
December 31st, 2008 at 11:20 amother: Packing a bento box gives me something to look forward to during the day besides school or work being over, it re energizes me when I see my lunch. I also feel better knowing that I made a conscious decision to pack a healthy and delicious lunch for myself. It's like I'm a big kid making smart decisions and I get a pat on the head
Karmatir Says:
December 31st, 2008 at 1:37 pmI'm an other too. True I pack it for variety of foods and a way to use up leftovers and the like. It does keep me more interested in food. But I also do it for (some) environmental reasons. I use almost no sandwich baggies/foil/etc. and end up packing no waste lunches. And a bento box fits in the fridge at work a lot better than a bag full of small Tupperware containers. That part drove me nuts more than anything else.
Sara Says:
December 31st, 2008 at 2:22 pmMy son, the person I primarily pack bento for, has an early morning math class that's at a different school than his regular classes. This means that this year he had NO option for school hot lunch because he's not there to put in his choice in the morning (I did a "Mom WINS" victory dance behind closed doors). He wasn't very excited about taking lunch every day because sandwiches get so boring. I sympathized. Stuffing a sandwich and grapes into baggies is frankly not my idea of fun kitchen time. Bento lunches with plenty of variety have made him prefer taking his lunch over the greasy sugar bombs they serve for most school lunch.
He knows that he always has the right to critique his lunch ("Mom, that cutesy soy sauce bottle… I'm eleven…?") and tell me what he does and doesn't like. He also gets to help me plan what he's going to eat which is hopefully helping to teach him to make smart choices. Bentos have made a big difference for him.
IdlePalaver Says:
December 31st, 2008 at 6:04 pmWhen my kids started school I wanted to pack a waste free lunch. At first I had a large assortments of small containers in her lunch, and it was very awkward and space-consuming. I eventually stumbled upon the bento concept of carpementalizing food in one container, and discovered the gadgets and gizmos that make bento lunching fun. The rest, as they say, is history. My kids and hubby, and even his co-workers, love to open their lunch boxes and see what goodies they have for lunch. Actually, DH is the talk of the office now.
Natalie Says:
December 31st, 2008 at 6:21 pmI'm a bento-ing fan because i can choose what I eat and actually know what is in it, and how it was made. Also because of the really cute containers and items. =)
badblair Says:
December 31st, 2008 at 6:28 pmI pack for a variety of reasons. I am a commuter in college and I found that running around so much makes me hungrier and its impossible to find time to eat several small meals.
I discovered bento and found that im eating healthier and im happier with a cute fun lunch and snacks.
Now im addicted to this site! Great work
Biggie- I'm a philly girl and saw a great article in gourmet about cheesesteaks and thought of you
Glad to know im not the only one with scrapple and pork roll in my bento! -
Snow Says:
December 31st, 2008 at 9:22 pmI started making bentos as a way of getting my husband to eat a healthy lunch. If I don't pack anything he'll just forget about lunch or eat something like an ice cream sandwich. It's also a nice way of showing one's love for another.
Talina Says:
December 31st, 2008 at 9:44 pmI get bored so easy with many things in life not just the same ole sandwich. I was searching the web for ideas and that's how I heard about bentos. I always liked asian food but I found I can do so much more with bento styled lunch and I never end up starving at the end of the day. I was inspired…
I also need to keep from so much snacking (not all junk food) being on the medication I am now I gain weight quickly but can't get it off. I gained almost 30 lbs in about the first 6 months on it.
One last thing I am excited to try bentos with my daughter she is only 3 and can out eat a grown up. She not over weight and I can't figure where she puts it all. I have bee told she has an empty leg : )
Thanks Biggie for all the inspiration… my coworkers stay jealous of my tasty little lunches!
Katie Says:
January 1st, 2009 at 9:41 amI selected other because one of the main reasons I pack bento style lunches is to not use plastic bags, either ziploc baggies to put individual components, or a plastic bag to put the whole lunch in. My main driver is to be more eco-friendly.
Pratyeka Says:
January 1st, 2009 at 10:16 amIn addition to liking the creative aspect of making a bento, I'm a vegetarian. I work for a large corporation. In our cafe, we have many food options every day, but I found that day after day I had to choose either a small pre-packaged, expensive bowl of cereal or a very unhealthy piece of pizza (which also happens to taste terrible) if I wanted something without meat. Sometimes, I would go to the meat area and ask for just the vegetable sides, if they had any. Eventually I realized that for me, bento was the way to go. It also gives me something productive and creative to do, which I always enjoy.
Clover Says:
January 1st, 2009 at 10:26 amThe main reason I pack a lunch is because I am a letter carrier. It's just easier (and fun!) to make my own lunch. Though during the summer and winter months it gets hard to keep food cold or warm. Mainly because I have no access to a frig or microwave. So Biggie if you have any tips, tricks or recipes for people like me who are outside all day with no access to a frig or a microwave, please pass them on! (Believe me, there are A LOT of us out there.)
squee4242 Says:
January 1st, 2009 at 12:35 pmI picked "other", among others
My "other" reason is environmental, to try and reduce waste, but my biggest reason for starting was to wean myself from daily fast food lunches. Bento makes lunch a little more exciting that a plain brown bag, so it helps me stay motivated.
Linda Says:
January 1st, 2009 at 4:48 pmI picked More variety as the reason I started but I've recently been diagnosed with a food intollerance that excludes wheat so packing a Bento lunch is now a must - no more home or bought sandwiches or pub lunches! Rice is so much tastier than the stuff that passes for wheat free bread! My lunches also intrigue my worl colleagues who seem to enjoy talking about them as much as I do eating them!
gfbentomom Says:
January 1st, 2009 at 6:33 pmEvery year it seems that we bento more and more. I have made bentos for my kiddo for years and got started when he was in pre-school and he has requested them ever since and I'm happy to send a healthy meal-sometimes 6 days a week- that is eaten up rather than discarded as so many lunches are.
I started bentoing for myself occasionally 2 years ago due to a health problem that requires a special diet. Another new challenge was added this year that has it's own dietary restrictions and so I am bentoing even more. Due to my dietary restrictions, I have even made and brought bentos with me, almost daily, when out and about while I was staying oversees and for early morning pre or in-flight breakfasts.
From time to time, when we're on the road early, I pack breakfast bentos to save time. It's sometimes quicker to make and pack a bento than to have a sit-down breakfast with a bunch of sleepy-heads, myself included!
Lastly, Hubby has a work schedule that keeps him away from home for most weekday meals so is making his own bentos these days-sometimes for 2 meals- in the am to help us stay on track budget wise.
I am VERY grateful for bentos and can't imagine what we would do without them!
Melanie Says:
January 1st, 2009 at 8:58 pmOther: I have a horrible habit of running out of plastic bags and HATE going to the store for just one thing. Much better to have reusable boxes I can just wash.
Incidentally, that's also one of the reasons I cloth diapered, lol.
Sabrina Says:
January 2nd, 2009 at 11:13 amTrying to control portion sizes and the cuteness factor are big for me, but not as big as my two "Other" reasons.
1.) I grew up in a big family and my Dad was a chef as an expensive country club that had a lot of banquets cooking for hundreds at a time. As a result, I only learned how to cook large quantities. Most of my favorite recipes are really difficult to make for just two (my best friend/roommate and myself), I usually make enough for at least 4-6. So bento lunches help us use our leftovers more efficiently. I throw away way less food now than I did before.
2.)I really hate my job. It is a little easier to deal with when I have an adorable sunny yellow bunny-decorated bento box awaiting me on my lunch break. It's a great pick-me-up. My roommate and I take turns cooking for each other, it adds a little fun to our days.
chris Says:
January 2nd, 2009 at 2:43 pmI found that bringing my lunch to work is a great way to continuously eat healthy and a great way to save money. I work for a company that makes reusable food containers and they help avoid any unnecessary waste that bringing food in brown bags and plastic bags causes. take a look at some of our products. I use them myself and love them
Emmanuelle Says:
January 2nd, 2009 at 11:28 pmYet another "Other"
I use bentos as a time management tool.
I work from home, I am French and I love cooking. That just spells trouble when lunchtime rolls around- I will drop what I am doing and go cook myself a nice lunch, take my time eating it and then do the washing up. Not good for productivity…
Now that I have switched to bentos, I pack my lunch in the morning and store it in the fridge, ready for when I get hungry around 1:00pm. No extra cooking time and minimal dishwashing required- no wasted time anymore!
Riss Says:
January 3rd, 2009 at 11:10 amI picked almost everything on that list >_>.
To be completely truthful, I have a dysthymic disorder that causes me to um, I guess what most people view it as "lazy." I am a bit apathetic about making food or doing things like that in general which means I skip lunch every day at school…but I do love cooking, it's very therapeutic.
There's something about a lacquered plastic box or a cute little monkey face that encourages me to actually pack in food, no matter how simple like rice it is, and take it to me with school the following day to eat.
I guess it's the little, fleeting fun things like this that make things worthwhile hahaha.
Plus, it means I get to use my Totoro mug and Ultraman fork. ? <<< — chopstick-ally challenged.
Kate Says:
January 3rd, 2009 at 8:31 pmI picked "other" because they also produce less packaging waste and (with respect to the lunches I pack for my husband rather than for myself) are a way of showing affection.
Llyxius Says:
January 3rd, 2009 at 9:25 pmMy "other" was time management. My job often overlaps lunch or dinner hours, and while I get a brief break to eat something, it's not so long that I have time to go off site. Packing a bento gives me time to sit outside and eat a decent meal as opposed to eating nothing!
Imp Says:
January 4th, 2009 at 9:21 pmWell, I live in Japan so that's the main reason. There's no other choice for my husband- like most other blue collar workers he gets a few minutes to eat and needs something easily shoveable into his mouth which will give him enough energy enough not to die during a 16-hour day.
Tiffany Says:
January 5th, 2009 at 11:31 amThe portion control is a big part of it for me. It's not that I eat such terrible food most of the time, it's that I have this "clean your plate" complex and have lost all sense of proportion about what really should constitute a meal. So the idea of picking a box that holds an amount of food appropriate to my needs, and constraining my lunch to that size, has been great for me. And of course, being able to control WHAT I'm eating, by packing it when I'm not ravenous, helps. Especially since I'm trying to be more of a locavore and get processed food out of my diet. And if a cute box and some brightly-colored silicone cups helps motivate me to do that, well, that's money well spent.
g. Says:
January 5th, 2009 at 12:29 pmIt's a good way to figure out what the heck to pack for lunch. Being allergic to wheat I don't eat sandwiches often and it was always a challenge to figure out what to eat for lunch. Bentos are perfect.
Darina Says:
January 6th, 2009 at 5:39 amOther: I want to avoid waste. I'm so sick of individually-packed food, of sandwiches wrapped in cellphane, of the horrible amounts of packaging which come with every takeout, of shouting "I DON'T NEED A PLASTIC BAG" whenever I'm buying clothes… With Bento I can at least have a completely waste-free lunch.
Except for the one other "other":
I got a big pack of empty takeaway packages. Whenever I make bento for my boyfriend and myself, I try to make one more and give it to someone who needs it. I live in Berlin where homeless and really poor people are everywhere and since I'm not comfortable with giving money, I give homemade food instead.
Jessica Says:
January 6th, 2009 at 9:42 amLike so many posters - the "other" all about re-usable packaging and avoiding more trash in the world. I love that going bento has ment that my family (two adults and a four year old) are not adding to the landfil with lunch wrappers and such everyday. And it makes leftovers so much more attactive and fun to eat too.
psuklinkie Says:
January 6th, 2009 at 2:05 pmOther! Well, a few others work for me, but mostly they are convenience and avoiding garbage. I hated throwing away a bag everyday from a small bunch of grapes just as much as I hated dealing with the grape bag, the sandwich box, and the carrot container. Bento lets me avoid all the untidy inconveniences and trash of a typical homemade lunch.
In fact, Biggie, you've got a lot to do with my bento conversion as yours was one of my first sources of bento information. THANKS! -

January 9th, 2009 at 7:38 pmI chose most of the choices including other.
The main reason that I got into it was I watch a lot of anime. I watch the subtitled versions and there is a lot of talk of Japanese food and Bento.Enviromental Reasons.
I was spending way to much money on eating lunch everyday, I did the math for the past 15 years and I spent close to 60k on lunch and coffee.
And I am doing Weight Watchers and Bento is a great way to do portion control.

January 10th, 2009 at 3:08 amI put other, among other things- I really, really love the feeling I get when Orion comes home from work and tells me that his co-workers asked "Where did you buy that lunch?" or "Wow, that's so adorable!" or "I wish I had your lunch, want to trade?" I don't get out of the house much, so it's a way of showing off, I guess! *laughs*

April 19th, 2009 at 8:45 amI got into bento while I was a secretary, and just as an interesting hobby. A friend was into bento, and got me curious about making onigiri. I did and liked it, and then decided to order bento boxes.
I'm a freelancer writer these days and my office is my laptop. Thing is, I tend to eat worse than I did when I had to travel to an office. Making myself and my family bentos every evening for the next day gives me a way to relax from the stresses of being self-employed and assures that we all get at least one healthy, well-balanced meal a day. While I don't always make Asian food, I do try to keep the classical bento balance. The natural portion control helps, too, since I have a SEDENTARY darn job!
My teenaged son needs a bigger bento box, I can tell you that. The one that fills me up just isn't enough for a growing young man.

When I first read this report I gave it little chance to survive the scrutiny of one hour, but this is as real as it gets. (For not actually being there). What you are about to see is in a word AMAZING. If I were to guess, and I am, I say a portal was opened. I will let the pictures and film speak for itself from here.
This is a real picture NOT computer generated.
The mystery began when a blue light seemed to soar up from behind a mountain in the north of the country. It stopped mid-air, then began to move in circles. Within seconds a giant spiral had covered the entire sky. Then a green-blue beam of light shot out from its centre — lasting for ten to 12 minutes before disappearing completely. Onlookers describing it as 'like a big fireball that went around, with a great light around it' and 'a shooting star that spun around and around'.
The Norwegian Meteorological Institute was flooded with telephone calls after the light storm.
Totto Eriksen, from Tromsø, told VG Nett: 'It spun and exploded in the sky, He spotted the lights as he walked his daughter Amalie to school. He said: 'We saw it from the Inner Harbor in Tromsø. It was absolutely fantastic.
'It almost looked like a rocket that spun around and around and then went diagonally down the heavens. 'It looked like the moon was coming over the mountain, but then came something completely different.' Celebrity astronomer Knut Jørgen Røed Ødegaard said he had never seen anything like the lights.
He said: 'My first thought was that it was a fireball meteor, but it has lasted far too long. 'It may have been a missile in Russia, but I can not guarantee that it is the answer.'
Air traffic control in Tromsō claimed the light show lasted 'far too long to be an astronomical phenomenon'. Norwegian defence spokesman Jon Espen Lien also said the lights were probably from a Russian missile test claiming it was normal for Russia to use the White Sea and the Barents Sea as a testing ground. Tromsō Geophysical Observatory researcher Truls Lynne Hansen agreed, saying the missile had likely veered out of control and exploded, and the spiral was light reflecting on the leaking fuel. But the mystery deepened last night as Russia denied it had been conducting missile tests in the area.
A Moscow news outlet quoted the Russian Navy as denying any rocket launches from the White Sea area. Norway should be informed of such launches under international agreements, it was stressed. The Russian Defence Ministry was unavailable for comment.

Cancer patient aims to help other sufferers cope better
Last updated at 20:53, Thursday, 16 August 2012
A Seaton woman who was diagnosed with cancer at the start of the year has set up her own charity to help women with the disease look and feel better.
Karen Shaw, 47, has been undergoing treatment for breast cancer since January and set up the Karen Shaw Feel Good Campaign the following month.
When she was diagnosed her colleagues and friends at the county council's child services department raised money to buy her a real hair wig and other treatments to help her cope with hair loss and make her feel better.
It made such a difference she decided to set up the charity to help others.
Karen said: "Those three weeks when you are diagnosed are the most traumatic ever and you don't believe it will happen to you.
"It would be very easy when you lose your hair to hide away because of the stares you get from people.
"The campaign is about looking good and improving your self esteem so you can go out and face the world.
"It is proved that a positive attitude leads to a better prognosis."
The charity has now raised around £3,000 from events including an Indian buffet lunch and raffle by child services' Whitehaven office and a raffle at Maryport Golf Club.
One of the treatments that Karen found particularly beneficial during her chemotherapy treatment was Reiki, which she received from Michaela Ashby at Tea and Tranquility in Cockermouth.
The shop is now using its first birthday celebrations to help raise money for Karen's campaign by holding a tea party.
Michaela said: "The idea came to me because the whole reason for starting up was to create a place that people can come and feel relaxed and nurtured.
"When I met Karen I felt very inspired by what she is doing, it is amazing and so positive."
As part of the campaign, Karen buys vouchers for treatments from places including Tea and Tranquility and Bliss Nail Studio in Workington and stylish and colourful hats.
She gives these to the Henderson Suite at the West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven for them to give them out to the women who need them.
Karen said: "It is just small things but if it helps just one woman feel a bit better then it has worked.
"Everywhere I am buying vouchers from or recommending I have tried out and it is not just the treatments it is how the people make you feel.
"Michaela makes you feel so comfortable, so relaxed and goes out of her way to recommended things and look into things that could help.
"I have got a lot out of helping other people, it has helped me get through this because it has given me a focus.
"I have shocked myself because I thought I would be sat on the sofa not going out but I haven't.
"Cancer almost gives you another life and not in a bad way, it makes you stand still and take stock.
"It is amazing, I can honestly say my life is more fulfilled than it was before. Everything you do has a purpose now."
The tea party fund-raiser will be held on September 7 with booking slots available between 10.30am and 4.30pm by calling 01900 827752.
Tickets are £15 and include tea, cakes, sandwiches and a choice of mini treatment.
For more information about the charity, visit www.facebook.com/TheKarenShawFeelGoodCampaign

Very hard to just drop when performing a tall snatch/clean with any reasonable amount of weight - this exercise helps to demonstrate the speed needed to get under the bar, and reinforces what needs to be done in the third pull. As there is no jump in this exercise (it is generally initiated from the toes with straight legs), it reinforces the need to pull under.If you haven't yet tried this exercise (I believe it's also called a Barski snatch or clean), you may consider giving it a try. Will help develop speed getting under the bar, however you choose to think about it. http://www.performancemenu.com/exercises/index.php?show=exercise§ionID=2&exerciseID=150
as chris wrote "From my experience as a coach, lifters tend to do more arm pulling when they think in this manner." that would be my experience and concern too. i dont think ive ever had to tell anyone to pull LESS with their arms. its just natural to want to pick something up liek that - if youre thinking of puling it al the way up, which is wrong for weightlifting. thinking of pulling the elbows up to the ceiling during the pull helps keep the bar close to the body, and is different from arm pulling the bar away from the body. i have said that to lifters "if you want to pull, pull your elbows up, not the bar". that works well it seems. then yes, whipping the elbows under and high is good, again different from a slow arm pull. the video was good. thats just a clean from the high hang we'd call it. barski cleans (bob bednarski, coached by Joe Mills) were done from a bit lower, even below knee. they are tremendously helpful to the lifts. but the emphasis was the same, as joe taghut to just reach standing height for a fraction of a second likle a piston, then go down. the "clean from full extension" that i use starts even higher, and done mostly with an empy bar, or eventuall relatively lighter weight. even no weight at first, just practice the feel of stdning up and sqautting down immediatly. start by standing with arms straight but go into full shrug, and onto balls of feet. idea is that now youve got the bar higher off the ground than it is when youre in the full deep fr sq catch position. so the whole idea is to teach just the jump down, - so go ahead, call it pull under or third pull from this position - but get to full sq as fast as you can. then you add wieght and do what th eguy in the vid did, start from high hang, then mid thigh, then below knee, etc. thats how i teach the lifts. think about it this way also. you can stand infrontof a chair and sit down slowly or quickly, right? and youre not using anything to pull you down quicker. so as if by pulling knees up and using hip flxoers to pull you down, yuou go faster. thats more of what we mean by jumping under. and yes, add to that a perfectly timed"third pull", and everybodys happy. :-)i have clip of clean from full extension, email me if you like-g
As stated before, these suggestions are subject to peer review - and please correct where necessary:When you're performing the tall snatch or tall clean, start on the toes with straight legs. As this is an assistance exercise focusing primarily on the 3rd pull, the legs are not used to accelerate the bar upwards. Initiate the movement of the bar upwards solely with a shrug, and then begin moving down under the bar. The bar does not move vertically that much at all. This drill also helps correct early arm bend at the top of the second pull. Line your feet up behind something, like a piece of tape or chalk line, to notice where your feet are finishing - forward or behind the line. Ideally, you do not want to be forward of this line. If so, work more on keeping the elbows HIGH and finishing the turnover. Yes, they are quite difficult to do with much weight, but an excellent drill for the 3rd pull.

People try to couple one's sentiments about Israel to one's sentiments about Jews. Jews are fine, wonderful people. I grew up in Brooklyn. Should be enough said. But Israel? What, outside of almost sinking the Victory and killing American sailors has Israel done for us?
We should have responded to the act of war that they perpetrated when they invaded our embassy and took our citizens hostage. As soon as those hostages were released, an hour after Reagan was inaugurated, we should have invaded. Caving in to terrorists and selling them weapons painted a huge target on our backs.
This country needs to remember history, and observe that wars fought over religious beliefs and ideologies can never, ever be won. Ask the British. Ask the Irish. Ask any devout Jew or muslim.
You can not win a religios war, 15 pills a day Thank you Washington FMF purple heart. Gee!!
The idea of using only military power is narrow thinking. There are numerous instances in history where it has proven to be sheer folly, and extremely costly both financially and in human terms. And not all of these instances have been in distant history.
We have too many problems stateside to worry about anyone else right now. Have to take care of your family first before going off to save another one.

Host and guest protocol in a business meal is a piece of cake. When it comes to ordering, the guest orders first and the host orders last. In all else, the guest follows the host's lead. The host, the person who issues the invitation to the meal, tells the guest where to sit. The host places the napkin in his or her own lap and the guest follows suit. The host pays the check and the guest avoids a surreptitious side glance to see how much tip the host is leaving. The host sets the napkin on the table, slightly crumpled to the left of his or her own place setting, to signal the end of the meal. Today's etiquette tip is brought to you by Culture and Manners Institute.

Re: Limited Time Premium Annual Pass Offer for DVC Members
Quick question and me being a bit dim!! My mum and dad have the DVC so they could get the annual pass for, by the looks of things, cheaper than the passes we get here. Just wanted to double check that if they paid for the passes before Xmas this year but didn't use them until we go October 2013 will they still work?
Also is there a limit as to how many annual passes they can buy? There are 6 adults, 2 children and a baby going next year.

McAfee hospitalized after being denied asylum
GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — Software company founder John McAfee was hospitalized Thursday after being denied political asylum in Guatemala and his lawyers said they were making a last-ditch effort to keep him from being flown back to Belize for questioning about the killing of a fellow American expatriate.
McAfee told The Associated Press that he suffered chest pains overnight but didn't believe he had a heart attack. A government doctor who examined him agreed, saying that McAfee's heart rhythm and blood pressure were normal and that he appeared to be suffering from high stress.
McAfee was moved from an immigration center to a police-run hospital Thursday afternoon after Guatemalan authorities said McAfee's request for asylum had been denied. They did not explain why. Shortly after the decision was announced, McAfee issued a plea on his blog for the public to petition Guatemalan President Otto Perez Molina to let him stay.

This could work out because I relate Shem to the Cimmerians.
Shem was the fore father to the Hebrews which included Abrahams family. There were Cimmerians living around Urartu. Scythians once dwelt in Asia, and there warred with the Massagetae, but with ill success; they therefore quitted their homes, crossed the Araxes, and entered the land of Cimmeria. Abraham moves to Mitzraim and later settles in Kush on the upper Nile, therefore we have a connection between the north and south. Urartu being the North. I have the Akhmin dynasty beginning with Achaemenes on the central Nile. His son, Teispes becomes the father of Ariaramnes and Cyrus 1 Ariaramnes was the king of Persis and begot the Ramses side of the family. Cyrus 1 was the king of Anshan/Aswan and begot the Amen side of the family. As I had previously stated, Amasis II 610-526 BC = Ra-Amasesa II = Ramses II which appears to be Solomon. Combine this with your story and you have a book! |

It would take me a month just to sort out and become familiar with what you wrote in just that one post!!! - I'm only human (>o<)! Hehe.
Actually, where I'm at in my head right now is trying to uncover the Avar connection at the juncture in history when the Merovingian line was killed off and the Carolingians (formerly the Mayors of the Palace) took over in France. There are some family coats of arms - Rangabe, Anjou, Bouillon (Godfroi de Bouillon led the first crusade and allegedly was a direct hier in the so-called "grail" family), and a puzzling stained glass window in the chapel of St. Margaret in Scotland (Margaret, born in the Hungarian house of Yaroslav, became wife of Malcom III making her the Queen of Scotland, and was grandmother of the Matilda of the civil war of succession whereby Stephen was crowned king) - all of which feature the same fleur-de-lis tipped cross. An identical (physical) fleur-de-lis tipped cross was uncovered in the Carpathian basin (modern Hungary/Romania) which is attributed to the Avars. The Avars were the most respepected and feared of the many Turkic tribes of Central Asia. After moving around Asia with tribes such as the Khazars, Bulghars, Magyars, Huns etc. they (with help from the Lombards - I think) conquered the Gepids and moved into Carpathia. This is the very place where the Ubaids, the patriarchs of the Sumerians, were seated in very ancient times, as I mentioned in my post above about "the grail". Charlemagne and his son Pepin conquered the Avars late in the 8th century, with the help of "western Avars" (an alliance spurred, apparently, by a civil war within the Avar kingdom) . In parallel, we have many towns in southern France, in what was then (the fairly large) Aquitaine, named names like Avallon, Avaricord, Auvern. Aquitaine, in the time of Charlemagne's grandfather Charles "the Hammer" Martel, was ruled by Eudes of Aquitaine, who, as per Ahron, a blogger living in Australia who has been doing some incredible and fruitful research, was really Judah Zakkai - "Eudes" being a Francization of "Judah", Eudes/Judah, who allied with Charles Martel against the Moors and won a great victory together at Tours, was the father of the famous Makhir, Exilarch of the Jewish kingdom of Narbonne. It is to this southern part of France that Mary Magdalene is said to have fled after the crucifixion, it is from this area that the Troubadours and their songs of Courtly Love flourished, and it is in this same area (the Languedoc) that the Gnostic Cathars prospered until the Catholic Church spent 40 years exterminating them. The extermination of the Cathars, which we know as the Albigensian Crusade, was so successful that almost nothing substantive, apart from whisps in the wind, remains of the Cathar's existence or beliefs. They were Christian however, but, say, if you had heard the gospel from the descendants of Jesus and Mary of Magdala first-hand, would you willingly lap up the BS being pawned by the Church of Rome? - No way. And so they were a threat - a serious threat - particularly since there is evidence that the son and daughter of Dagobert II fled to the Aquitaine after his murder and married into what would become the "Grail Family". The Church did such a good job of purging the records that it's near-impossible to say with any certainty what was going on, with regard to dynasties, in southern France in those early Middle Ages. But it appears, to me, that the "elves", those "shining ones" of possibly both Merovingian and Davidian descent, realized that they as a sub-race of people were under serious threat of survival - and so, being pretty damn smart, opted to marry into the family that was clearly on the rise - the Peppinids, the very family that, in collusion with the Catholic Church, had murdered their own kin (Dagobert) - as the only hope for the survival of their own bloodline. Scholars/history tell us that Bertrada "the Broadfoot" or, the "Goose-foot", was Charlemagne's mother, this is not disputed. Ahron (Australia blogger) tells us that she is "Mother Goose", who told these children's fables to her son (Charlemagne). Historians insist she was Merovingian - but she was in fact a princess of the Davidic line, Jewish, as is evidenced by the derisive "Goose-foot" nickname that was later applied to her. I'm circling back, so please hang in there a bit longer. Bertrada's mother was, even by official sources, Blanche Fleur. Blanche Fleur means white flower, specifically, lily. The lily was one of the symbols of the grail, the act of extracting (by drinking) melatonin from the ejaculate of royal virgins. There were many "blanche fleur"s, who were all queens of the Davidic line, which descended from Solomon as well of course (and in some cases as well, Jesus). So, having come to grasp this much, I was still confronted with the emergence of the "fleur-de-lis" (obviously derived from the lily) - tipped crosses on the coats of these important families, concurrent with Avar migration into southern France. SURELY there's something going on here!!!!??? And, I was spurred on by the name of Avallon, home of Morgana la Fey where Arthur's ex-calibur was forged, as well Tolkien's choice to name an important race of Elves 'Avari' in the Ring trilogy, and, surprisingly, after delving into the geneologies of the conquering families of America (Rockefeller, Morgan, Root, etc.) their seeming to have fallen over each other to marry into the Averell or Avery family/families (commonly descended from Auvrays of medieval France). The namesake of these Averys of America had to be ultimately the Avars of the middle ages, I thought, and these Averys/Averells had to be connected to the "grail line" or the Davidic line somehow, making their blood particularly valuable? Add to all that, Avar in Hebrew (AVR) meant "Light". (!!??) But, sadly, I could not find a connection. I thought, for a moment, that Eudes of Aquitaine (Judah Zakkai?) was descended from Avars - but, Judah/Eudes lost a battle against the Moors for the lack of stirrups on his troops' horses - hard to believe if Eudes was an Avar, for the Avars had invented the stirrup a hundred years prior. I basically discarded my whole "Avar" theory. Then, today, I read that Charlemagne's grandmother, the mother of his mother Bertrada "the Goose-foot", was Blanche Fleur, the "FLOWER OF HUNGARY". !!!!???? Hungary!!!???? - At this time in history "Hungary" was the Avar Kingdom!!!! Go to any source, Bertrada's mother is the "Flower of Hungary". They didn't cover up this little clue. Bertrada and her mother were clearly Avars - because the Avars were in Hungary before Charlemagne conquered their kingdom late in his life ... there's no getting around it. I did a search for the terms "flower of Hungary", "blanche fleur" and Avar, together. I got NOTHING. |

The other day I was watching a show on ship building and I agreed with the spokesman when he said that only Phoenicians were the true boat builders.
He went on to state that they would look for ports that had trees and set up lumber yards to build more ships. It is fairly clear that Noah and his three sons were ship builders, thus making them Phoenician. It all fits the myths. Agenor was a Phoenician [Eneti, Veneti] who ruled over Sidon [Cydonia, Crete] and Tyre. His twin brother was Belus a king of [Mitzraim] Egypt and father of Aegyptus and Danaus. Sons of Noah/Nch Note: Serpent is spelled = Nchsh Shem/Shm = father of Eber/Obr [Hebrew], Aram Ham/Chm = father of Cush/Kush, Mizraim/Mtzrim, Phut/Phut [Pont], Canaan/Knon. Cush generated Nimrod/Nmrd the builder of Babylon, Ashur and Nineveh. Canaan generated Sidon, Heth Japheth/Iphth = father of Gomer/Gmr, Magog/Mgug, Media/Mdi, Javan/Iun, Tubal/Thbl, Meshech/Mshk Before they arrived there was no Egypt, Troy, Babylon or Nineveh This is why I wonder if the "Sumerians" originated in India and were an extension of the Indus Valley Civilization. |

The Ubaid culture most likely wasn't confined to just the Carpathian basin, so, maybe there was direct contact between the Ubaid and the Indus Valley, pre-dating their contact with the Sumerians. Officially, of course, civilization, and by association, "dragon culture", spread from Sumer to the Indus Valley (and from there to the Chinese dragon court).
So, the question is, did the Indus Valley get its "dragon culture" directly from the Ubaid of Scythia, of which there is no evidence, or the Sumerians, ample evidence of which does exist. It's sort of a moot point ... unless some cuniform texts predating the Tartaria texts of Romania show up in Pakistan. (They won't.) |

Physical history and written history both come in layers.
I like peeling back the layers. The one thing that I will always hit you on is dating. Cross-dating based on Dog-Star dating is not creditable. I see Noahs flood after 1600 BC. Remove all the construction related to the sons of Noah from Mesopotamia. Babylon, Uruk, Akkad and Calneh, Nineveh, Resen, Rehoboth-Ir and Calah all go away. What do you have left? Ive always wondered who invented cuneiform writing. It appears to be in two forms = wedge and pictogram. I feel that the sons of Noah brought the Phonetic alphabet [Phoenician alphabet] which looks like the pictogram writing. I just cannot shake the thought that the sons of Noah were the dragon-culture! Noah = Nch Serpent = Nchsh |

Yeah! - I like your thinking - if it starts with an "N", and there's a 'c' or an 'h' or a 'z' in there somewhere, it's probably a dragon!
Of course, as you state, the "sons of Noah". But also, the "sons of Adam"? The Davidic line (he, David, comes out of nowhere and slays Goliath - and this is the basis of his and Solomon's exhalted family line? - no way.) apparently descends from Cain. |

From what I gather, the mark of Cain/Qin was circumcision.
It appeared to be the act of cutting off and separating. The practice was found along the Nile and was introduced to the sons of Noah as they arrived. This would indicate layers of arrivals on the Nile. The area of Qena/Keneh looks like a good spot. It is only 86 miles from the Red Sea. If Cain went to the Land of Nod/Nud east of Eden/Odn; then he came from the West. Im guessing that Odn was somewhere in Atlandis beyond the Pillars of Hercules. (IMG:http://www.suneagle1.com/images/Cartouche.jpg) What does this look like? Not the Sun! Sanders do you think circumcision could somehow be a Dragon thing? |

The "Grail" legacy is all about "service". The Minotaur in the Labyrinth (and similar legends of obstacles conquered) are all about the Priest-Prince or Priest-King suppressing the sexual urge during the rite of extracting melatonin, stimulating the "grail maiden" to climax (whereby her melatonin can be received) without becoming sexually aroused. Sexual arousal in the male recipient would promote testosterone, a hormone which would work in opposite to the desired affect. That affect being a higher level of consciousness, a level so different from our own day-to-day experience that it has been described and cemented in our culture via symbology as being akin to "rebirth" - the DEATH of the ego and REBIRTH of a new spiritual person. Jesus, with the help of the menstrual and ejaculate (wine and water) juices of his grail-maiden Mary (of Magdala), who, when he was about 30 when he met her was about 12 (the perfect age to start this ancient ritual), achieved a spiritual, or cosmological, or whatever you want to call it, degree of "perfection" to the extent that he became a magnet to anyone within earshot - add to that, he was a "messiah", a priest king of the Davidic line (messiah just means "annointed one", i.e. king, being annointed by the fat of the 'messah', the royal crocodile as per the ancient Egyptian custom, NOT the "son of god", at least not in the way the Catholic Church tried to make it mean.) The ultimate purpose of the rite was to embue the recipient of the "grail-blood" or "grail-ejaculate" with higher mental powers, pursuant to more inspired and foresightful SERVICE to the people he or she ruled. Circumcision, since it lessens the sensitivity of the penis, would seem to fall into place as a rite connected to and complementary to the melatonin-farming "grail rite". (!!!!!????) So, elreb, I think, maybe, you've hit on to something there. (!!!) |

Dear 'Sanders' For some reason, it always appeared that you were a woman. That appears to have been wrong, considering the 'facebook' image, but more to the point, your article regarding, Carbon Tax, CO2, Global warming, have been rekindled by re-reading your profile. No doubt, you would be aware, that in the 'motherland', yes the one America and others arose from, saw fit to burden its citizens, that is the ones that could least afford it, with, Daylight Tax, introduced in 1696, officially called window or glass tax. This was in the 'reign', of King William 111, 1689 - 1702 / 1650 - 1702. This was seven years after he had releived the citizens of a Hearth or Fireplace Tax, of the reign of King Charles 11, 1649 - 1685 / 1630 - 1685. The Daylight Tax, continued for a considerable time, during the Napoleonic Wars, the tax nearly doubling, Wars is expensive you know. Do you see precedent, in the even 'earlier eras', which may have carried over, even into our current times. Because, after all, Wars now, are even more expensive you know. Perhaps, we should all acquire a taste for 'ejaculate', if it has that wonderful affect, of dissolving 'EGO', bringing us all wisdom, which is so sadly lacking.

- s - This "grail ritual" only worked on those of true dragon blood, pure "elven" blood as Nicholas de Vere describes. This royal sub-race of people was all but exterminated long ago. The murder of Dagobert II by Pepin of Herstal (in collusion with the Catholic Church), resulting in the end of the Merovingian dynasty (7th century) was the first major setback. The invasion of England by William the Conqueror a few centuries later was an even more serious blow. William had some dragon-blood in him, but he and his Norman ilk cared nothing for achieving any kind of enlightenment or ruling justly - his slash and burn policy to "pacify" the north of England killed half the population. (He went so far as to salt the earth so that nothing would grow, causing mass starvation for a generation.) I have my own theory that the 1st Crusade was in reaction to William's seizing the English throne. A few years prior to the Norman invasion princess Margaret, who was a "fairy" from both sides of her family (from the English kings on the side of her father Edward 'the Exile', descended from Alfred, or "Elf-red" 'the Great', and the blood of David from her mother) left Hungary with her family and landed in England, where her father was expected to reclaim the throne. The next day her father was murdered. Margaret and her mother remained in England until 1066 when William of Normandy invaded and killed Harold at Hastings and Margaret (along with her mother and some Hungarian royals in tow) got out of Dodge, fleeing to Scotland where she married Malcom III King of Scotland. Malcom was surely "elven", he descended from a long line of Pict Kings. The Picts were one of three invader/immigrant waves to the isles from Scythia (the other two being the Milesians and the Tuatha de Danaan), and it was the Royal Scythians that started the whole "civilization" thing in Sumer in the first place. We get confirmation that these Pict migrants to Scotland were originally Scythians in the Greek myths, specifically in the Calydonian Boar Hunt. (Scotland was once called Calydonia.) The ancient Scythians, the "Ubaid", were the original dragons/elves/grail-rulers, so if the Pict rulers of Scotland had kept their blood fairly pure, and it seems they did, Margaret's marriage to Malcom would have been a purely elven affair. (These "elves" were once, in the early middle ages, just and effective rulers of men. The Catholic Church and their non-elven clients, pursuant to supplanting elven power, tried to diminish elven stature in the public consciousness with tales of tiny fairies, elves, and other mystical little people ... ) Margaret and Malcom had several children, one a son named David who would become king of Scotland, whose name reflects Margaret's royal Jewish heritage on her mother's side, as well as a daughter, Matilda, who married Henry I of England, son of William the Conqueror. THEIR daughter, also Matilda, married Geoffrey Plantagenet, a moderately pure descendent of the grail family in Anjou - it was as if there was an effort afoot to restore pure dragon/elvin blood to power in England by diluting the Norman blood that sat at the throne, for Matilda was indeed the true heir, but her Norman cousin, Stephen, made a bid for the kingship as well, resulting in a civil war. The ultimate result of that conflict was Stephen ruling till his death, at which point Matilda & Geoffrey's son Henry II took the throne - but centuries later, with the War of the Roses and the end of Lancaster family rule, elvin blood in the royal family in England was essentially dead. In the years after the Norman Invasion of England (this is my theory) certain "elves", specifically the members of the Grail family living in France, sensed that the barbarian Normans (and for too many centuries now the Catholic Church) were getting the upper hand in the world and that they'd better do something or they, as a people, were finished. Their bold move was the 1st Crusade, led by the Grail heir Godfroi de Bouillon. In short, despite winning Jerusalem for a time, the affair ended badly, then the Catholic Church (possibly emboldened by the fall of Jerusalem) launched the Albigensian crusade, whereby Cathars (adherents of a form of Christianity handed down to them probably by Mary of Magdala and her and her husband, the Christ's, own family and probable descendents, not to mention refugees of the Merovingian bloodline as well as the progeny of Makhir the Exilarch ... ) were exterminated in one of history's most violent acts of genocide. The Church (and her client knights) spent 40 years killing anything that looked or smelled like a Cathar in southern France. This is from where we get the alleged quote, "Kill them all, God will know his own". Finally in the early 14th century the Templars were burned, banned and forced underground. The Dragon had been effectively slayed. The Templars, in new clothes, would resurface centuries later as Freemasons. But those Templars, even in their original form, had never been full-blooded "elves", nor were they members of the grail family. They were merely the protectors of the grail (posing as the pope's militia). Freemasonry as well would undergo violent factionalization. Speeding to the 18th century, Washington and Franklin were from one faction of Masonry while the order of the Scottish Rite was well represented in the Bostonian members of the 'Essex Junto' ... the former determined to split from Britain and form a more perfect union, the later of which tried to derail that effort, going so far as to foment the Civil War a century later. Spookily, 1776 was also the year that the Bavarian Illuminati was formed - a decade later one of their couriers was killed by lightning and a letter he was carrying discovered - the "Illuminati" were found-out and banned as an organization. Did they disappear? Of course not, they infiltrated the Freemasonic lodges of Europe. The rest is, as they say, history. ............ It all sounds pretty crazy but, I'm a pretty skeptical guy and, after 10 years of digging and reading and digging and thinking and reading and thinking and more digging and reading, I suspect the above is close to our true history. Way closer, at least, than the crap we are taught. |

A little tidbit that shows that I'm (or Nicholas de Vere, or others who are aware of the truth of the Grail, or "Starfire" as it is presently called) are not making all this up ...
Many Egyptian hieroglyphics show a curious royal scepter, with a loop at the top and a stick below, and little "cross-like" arms. This is called the Ankh. The "loop" is the labia, the stick is the straw (usually made of gold) by which ejaculate was either received directly or fed into a chalice (the "grail") and drunk. I don't know what the cross-like arms represent ... maybe the grail maiden's (diminuized) legs? This symbol was merged, at some point, with the sign of the gods of Sumer (which predate the Egyptian era), specifically, an 8-spoked wheel without the rim (if you can imagine it). Inanna's sign btw was an 8 pointed star. As this symbol, a loop and stick below, with an 8-spoked wheel without the rim stuck on the middle, was routinely carved in wood, the horizontal line-part of the Sumerian 8-spokes would get lost in the grain of the wood. (I'm summarizing info gleaned from the writings of Nicholas de Vere.) As this was miscopied, what you were left with was a loop (circle) at the top, a stick extending below it, and an X in the middle. This is the symbol of the act of extracting melatonin from virgin princesses, the source of the ruling class' superior intellect and wisdom, and it solidified into the Chi-Rho, a capital "P" with an "x" along the lower "stick", both the symbol of Christ and the resurrection, and (how funny) the origin of the symbol of the Skull & Bones, embraced by the Templars (and via that connection, both Freemasons and pirates, LoL). The original name for the origin of this "grail" symbol, the Egyptian 'Ankh', over many long centuries, morphed into the name of the "Anjou" provence in France, where the Grail family resided for many generations. It also is, apparently, the root of "Angevin", making the Varangians NOT some Angle-mix of viking-connected people (I'm wondering?), but a people connected to Anjou? And what of that "Var" part of the term??? This is what still disturbs me. Is it a marker for the Avars? A cross was discovered in the Carpathian basin (Hungaria/Romania) with fleur-de-lis tips, matching the coats of arms of Godfroi de Bouillon, the Anjou Fulks, and Michael Rangabe (Makhir/Makhil the Angevin???) Emperor of the East and grandfather of Melissena. Further, there are these towns, one in what was once Aquitaine - Avaricon (name changed later to Bourges), and another north of there, Avallon. I'm sure these names reflect a strong Avar presence in France beginning at least as early as Charlemagne's reign. I suspect the Avars were very important, and whose leaders (Kagans) were "elves". Tolkien named one race of elves in his Ring trilogy the 'Avari'. And the coat of arms of the Avery family (who the early elite of America, including the Morgans and the Rockefellers, practically fell over themselves to intermarry with) features 3 gold circles/rings, evoking the "Ring" fortresses of the Avars (?). Add to that, many found Avar samples of jewelry feature the swastika. I lived in Japan for a time, where the swastika is still commonly used on maps to denote temples. The records tell of a victory (somewhat disputed) of a 'Varangian', a cousin of the very important Vladimir I, Grand Prince of Kiev, Oleg, in Byzantium where he reportedly nailed his shield to the large door of the palace, a shield on which was painted a swastika. This lends credence to the idea that the Varangians (who Oleg is described as) were Avar-Angevins. To further heat up the debate, the Swastika, according to de Vere, was a symbol of the "Vortex" surrounding the "grail", i.e., the labia of the grail princesses from whom melatonin was acquired. So, I'm pretty convinced that Avar blood was part of the "grail" in southern France. Avar, in Hebrew (AVR) means ... LIGHT. To say nothing of the fact that the name of the land where Arthur's sword was forged, was Avalon. |

Please allow me to return to the Avars. In their heyday they were the most feared and respected of the nomadic "Turkic tribes". The names of two Avar Kagans (kings) were recorded around the time of the death of Charlemagne, named Abraham and Isaac.
There is an entry in the annals that the "western Avars" were of purer blood than the "eastern" (Babylon based) exilarchs. What could that mean??? Then we have the research of Aharon of Australia. This guy seems to have really done some homework, but he fails to provide any links or references to any sources for his, pretty important, "historical adjustments". He just states things matter-of-factly. Urrgh ... but that doesn't mean he's wrong. In short, Aharon submits that Makhir, aka Aymery aka Theodoric (the father of a father-son Jewish-knight-duo embraced by the Pepinids and confused as one penultimate knight in writings of the early middle ages) was the son of an Exilarch ruling the Aquitaine, one Judah Zakkai, who we know as Eudes (Frankization of Judah) of Aquitaine. Could this family of warrior Jewish exilarchs in southern France at the time have been Avar? The coats of arms extending from decendents of Makhir and his sons, some of which feature the fleur-de-lis tips, suggest so, and the recorded names of the Avar Kagans (at the end of the Avar kingdom) Abraham and Isaac lend more credence. Where the annals say, "the western Avars were of purer blood", are they talking about Avars in France???? Maybe. But, there was a sort of civil war in the Avar kingdom at the time of Charlemagne and his son Pepin's reigns, and apparently the leaders of the Avars in the western part of Carpathia decided that they could do better allying with Charlemagne and Pepin and destroying their eastern Avar bretheren than being ruled by fellow Avars that they apparently didn't respect. Not much is known about this split, this "civil war", but apparently certain Khazars took advantage of the conflict to submit their own Khazarian Kagan-candidate , named Abraham, for rule over the Avars, which those Avars accepted. So, the recorded names of Avar Kagans 'Abraham' and 'Isaac' do NOT impart on the "Jewishness" of the Avars - those Kagans were not Avar, they were Khazar interlopers. Then, you have the research of Aharon, who fails to mention the Avars AT ALL in his exhaustive work. At that point, having steered into dead-ends at every turn, I decided that the whole "Avar" angle was dead. Varangian didn't really reflect Avar-Angevin, Margaret's fleur-de-lis cross wasn't really an Avar cross, the similarities between Avar, Avari, Avallon, and the Avery family were merely coincidence. Really, I had discarded my thoughts on the Avars, didn't trust any source, and was open to anything to glue this disjointed picture together. Then I learned that the grandmother of Charlemagne was named Blanche in official sources. Aharon states that she was named Susanna, but that she was a "blanche-fleur" - a "white lily", possibly the "blanche-fleur" referred to in the grail legends. The "white-lily" was, according to Nicholas de Vere, a synonym for a Jewish grail-maiden. Then, searching for more information, I found a source referring to Charlemagne's grandmother as "Blanche, the flower of Hungary". Hungary, at that time, was the AVAR kingdom!!! (Maybe I wasn't crazy after all???) |

I think I "sense" the overall picture, but I fear I will never get much closer to the truth. The records which stood in opposition to dogma of the Catholic Church were, as thoroughly as possible, destroyed. The same is true with regard to the Cathars of southern France, the Lanquedoc where Mary of Magdala apparently fled from Canaan following the crucifixion.
The Cathars counted the Templar knights as allies - the later alternately protected, or accepted as new members of the order, or simply remained neutral when it was politically dangerous to do otherwise. The Cathars were exterminated (a 40-year killing-spree), and a bit later the Templar knights were banned, their leaders roasted slowly over fires by Philip the Fair and his pawn, the Pope. What secret, known by the Cathars and the Templars alike, could have fueled such determination? ANKH |

Yesterday's post was plenty wordy. I'll keep it very, very visual today. My friend Megan has been working on a photo gallery wall in their master bedroom and the results are just completely beautiful. Here's a little inspiration for your day.
Megan's wall inspires me personally in 3 ways:
1. The family pictures are a combination of formal portraits and candid shots … taken with her iPhone. Yes, pictures from your phone can absolutely be framed on your wall. I so love that she included those.
2. The neutral colors of all the frames allow the photographs to really pop. (Indeed, spray-painting was involved.)
3. It's DONE! An actual, real, completed project. The reason that inspires me is because I have many unfinished projects. For example — this lovely little stash of frames has been collecting in our upstairs hallway for a few weeks now. Okay, let's get real. It's been months. Many months. In fact, I'm not even sure how many months.
This is what's currently on the wall. I love the pictures. They're family classics. The pictures are couples of our heritage – both sets of parents and 4 sets of grandparents. Also adorning the wall (for months) is this magazine tear-out that inspires me. It's what I've been thinking about doing on this wall for quite some time.
I tore it out from a Pottery Barn catalog.
I like my little collection of family pictures. But the wall is quite large and my current collage is small. Too small-scale for the hallway – for sure. See what I mean?
But the pile of frames will sit a while longer. I have far too much going on right now. I have more cool products to develop for you! My priorities are straight. ; )
Okay, seriously – if anyone has a killer idea for this wall, PLEASE share a link. I'm in no hurry to complete the project and I'm completely open to other ideas, especially because a certain someone in this house isn't convinced that photo collages are his thing. So … a grid? Perhaps 3 giant vertical posters? I don't know.
And just like that, I got wordy with a post that was supposed to be purely visual.
Thank you Megan for sharing your inspiring wall with us! I have a feeling a few more photo gallery walls are going to be popping up. If you want to share your photo gallery wall with me, email email@example.com. I would love to see!
