I'm a mom of four embracing my 4th decade. I've been doing readings (personal & public) since 2012. My focus includes, but isn't limited to: paranormal, passed loved ones, relationships, remote viewing, and past/future events. I sense things via images, impressions, sounds, tastes, and/or smells. My passion is to help others, seek truth, and provide insight. Feel free to request a Blog Reading topic (BLOG REQUEST tab), or Personal Reading (PERSONAL REQUEST tab). Love and light-

Terra Papers - Secret History of Earth - Jupiter Ascending
A. My focus first goes to Robert Morningsky. There is so much truth and it resonates with me...as if he has fluid thought and honestly behind his papers. I do see his grandfather had a glimpse as to the dynamics of space and how ETs interacted, and that information was later gifted to Robert. As I focus on his accuracy (how accurate was his information) I get an image of an ET shaking his head up and down and I get a mental message of "Yes, he is pretty accurate."
Q. I then ask, why use the descriptor "pretty" accurate. Using the word "pretty" seemed odd. Why did this ET convey it to me like that?
A. I was then told that when Robert's grandfather had his ET experience, and information was relayed to him (which Robert shared later), the source of the information was relayed in a telepathic way. When that happens you just "understand" the concept, or you will see a mental image to describe what happens. You can get a quote of the message you receive (as you understand it), but it may not be "exact" words or "exactly" how you interpret it. It was as if this ET was confirming to me that Robert's grandfather was not "exact" but very close in interpreting and conveying events and circumstances in a earthly spoken language.
Q. Was the concept of the movie taken from Robert Morningsky?
A. I see as the energy on earth changes, and we approach a spiritual connection on a higher level (in higher quantities- more people are waking up), our protector ETs are coming forward and helping us along the way. There are many unanswered questions, and we are as a mass coming to a point that we can handle different realities and crave truth. This movie concept, and the ideas behind it, came to a writer in a compelling and compulsive way to help "enlighten those that are ready." I also get that the answers are not forced on you, but for those that are ready they will find a huge amount of "ah ha" moments and even leave you pondering for days to come- as if synchronicities will develop in the forthcoming days...
I get that the writers found the Terra Papers in some kind of synchronous way... Like they were meant to be found and shared with the masses. I get that the concept wasn't "taken from" but rather "shared with" Robert Morningsky. It was a way to spread truth where more people would be able to see it rather than forcing people to research their own truth.
Q. Why is the movie coming out now? It was delayed from the original release date.
A. It was delayed because this movie based on underlying truth poses as a threat on many levels, and "powers at be" aren't ready for this kind of truth to be released. I also get there are a large amount of disinfo people working to have Robert Morningsky's papers debunked before the release of this movie. The goal is to have many controversies "out there" before people begin to do further research for themselves.
I also see we are at an uncertain time with a (very) harsh winter approaching, economic instability and a dollar that is not sustaining. With these factors combined government and these "powers at be" don't need more controversy (or empowerment) "shaking things up." I hear something about "damage control" being done now. The government needs to make sure the masses are fearful and submissive or maintain order..
This movie shares the importance of ETs in human (and earth's) development. It poses new ideas on creation and religion. It shows the power we have within ourselves and describes the way we can overthrow these "reptilian" type forces around us. All of those things take power away from a higher authority and create power within ourselves.
Q. Was earth seeded and by who?
A. I always see the greys as our parent, but as I focus on this (really tune in!) I get an image of a grey in my mind. When I think of humans, and their protectors, I see the greys, but this time it was different. As I see this grey and try to communicate I was told that they (the greys) were sent here to watch us, guide us and keep us from destroying ourselves BUT they are NOT the ones in charge. The were assigned here. I then got the image of a grey pointing their finger up, telling me there is someone above them that is more advanced and older (higher spiritually evolved). THEY are the ones that seeded earth. "They are around, but not active because they are fighting their own battles."
When on focus on that higher being and try to get a name, all I see is a Chewbacca head??? I feel like I am blocked from getting details or a connection on this.
Q. Is who seeded us coming back?
A. I get their presence never left. I get this image of them being able to see things through our eyes. Like they are psychically connected to us and can tap into what is happening here and "see" it from where they are.
I do get they will eventually make there presence known on earth, but it won't be for hundreds (maybe thousands) of years. They are fighting their own battle (they have enemies), and they don't want to come to earth and have their enemies chase them here. They avoid earth as a way to protect us.
Q. What is the connection between people and dogs?
A. When I first think on this, my mind goes to Orion's belt. I look at those three stars and see a connection to earth. I get that the ETs that helped to create humans and shape earth came from that star system. One of the stars on Orion's belt is Sirius, which is also the dog star.
I realize that is just a name, so what is the significance of the animal- the connection? I get we have similar DNA to those beings that live in the Sirius (Dog Star) system. Then I see a dog barking, and it is mentally conveying that dogs as we know them on earth are the lower level forms of the advanced creatures on this "Dog Star." The higher evolved being on the "Dog Star" look like a hybrid between a dog and a human. When humans were created some of the hybrid Dog/Human DNA was used, creating some of our current day humans. When the ET Dog/Humans left earth to "fight their battle," the lower level beings (or current day dogs) were left behind (where dogs really came from).
Q. Are we Royalty? What does that mean?
A. I get that humans have much more strength than what we use. We may have limitations within our physical body, but we have mental abilities that extend past our physical existence (I see an image of "Lucy" exercising her abilities once she unlocks her mental capacity on the movie "Lucy.") We also have the rare things many ETs don't have, and that is emotion. Even though emotion be be linked to forms of weakness, it allows the opportunity to be empathic, which is held in high regard to many ETs.
Humans as a whole also have a culmination of many DNA links (different nationalities arose from different ET groups seeding or breeding). Collectively our human species has the genetic (residual and true) knowledge of many life forms- if we tap into that our knowledge base is limitless. We are rare in that respect because many other species are a genetic branch of something else, but human are like many different branches spliced together to form a whole new bush.
We have so much strength, that if we come together not only can we spiritual evolve (and increase our vibration), we can take back control and rid ourselves of forced suppression. We just have to first believe we can, and then take action.

Thanks for doing this reading. Whenever I find/read/hear something new I always try to go back and match it up with how it fits in to the Terra Papers. I also find it interesting that you are really the only one I have found that has nice things to say about the Grey's. From what I have gathered, the Grey's give our Governments technology (new for us, old for them) for the chance to study humans.

I really like this reading. Sirius isn't part of Orion's belt. Sirius is next to it, in Canis Major constellation. So does it mean we came from Orion or Sirius or both?
Or do you mean those from Sirius seeded us to be like those from Orion? (I got this from thinking about Egyptian mythology after what you said.)

@Astrolofting: I always find myself looking to Orion's belt- like it is the key to why we are here. Or the key to being here and evolving. Possibly the battle that I wasn't able to fully grasp is between Orion and Sirius... (that came to me as I typed this)

The greys are abducting us and doing experiments how can they be acting for our higher good? Sounds more like they are acting for their own higher good.

Hi Lynn:
I want to know more about these higher evolved beings Chewbacca?
How long have been around? How advanced are they? 5th density? Do they have God like powers?
And are they fighting against the BEK
The Black Eyed Aliens you mentioned previously?

"I always find myself looking to Orion's belt- like it is the key to why we are here." - This is a great example of why I continue to read your posts day after day. I am not a psychic like you are, I can't get such clear details that I can explain like you do, but I just have a natural knowing about a lot of stuff and this quote is exactly what I would have typed myself.
It's been suppressed and I don't focus on it very often but I think I am an empath so I'm curious as to why ETs highly regard empathy, considering that they don't have the emotional levels that we do.

@Gypsycat: I hear this a lot... I don't get the fearful feeling with them (unless I am blocked for some reason??).
@Michelle: Q- I want to know more about these higher evolved beings Chewbacca. How long have been around? A- I don't have a date or, but I see them as the oldest ETs (as if viewing a timeline in my mind they came about early on). Q-How advanced are they? 5th density? Do they have God like powers? A- They are very advanced. I would say 5th (or even higher if that exists). They have been through many incarnations and have some of the highest spiritual developments. Q-And are they fighting against the BEK /Black Eyed Aliens you mentioned previously? A- They assign other ETs to help us against them. I somehow get they are too powerful or too big to be physically here (like they don't have time??)
@Alpha: Thanks for the comment.
Being an empath is powerful. It gives a different depth of understanding. You can see a ball is red, but being an empath can give you the same mental picture, but you can add a feeling (or see a symbology) to it (maybe the red evokes anger, love or passion). Empathy can change the intensity of the image.

Hi all, good evening!3 years ago a known woman working in a fastfood bar next to an expensive hospital in a city in Bolivia had a guest from the countryside who carried a basket coverred with a cloth. They felt sympathy for each other and chatted a lot. The snack bar attendant asked if she was going to enter the hospital. No said the lady from the country I´m just going to do some tests with my baby. A little curious he bar tender asked who´s going to pay the bills? The woman pointed to a stranger waiting outside the establishment. She said the man is from the US and wants to adoppt my baby. At this moment the child inside the basket moved and the mother put away the cloth to see what´s happening. the baby was a Grey/Human crossbreed... (I can´t get a good feeling either when the conversation comes to greys)

I don't think I will trust if they ever do arrive.

@Marina: Thank you for the story. I am sure there are many more of these hybrids out there than we know. In fact I go back to something someone told me once- to use the word "humankind" and the discussion evolved to it is sort of a mental trick people play on us calling man, or human mankind/humankind. That term dilutes what we are: man or human. We aren't like a man or human, we ARE a man or human. I think my mind took me to that talk because with all the hybrids / shapeshifters / ETs in disguise- they are the real man"kind" and human"kind' out there.
@loralei: I do. In fact in the reading something about dogmatic, dogma, dog vs god, etc was all coming it, but it was such a blur I couldn't get a complete thought to convey... It still bugs me, but I know it time it will make sense.

According to the the Terra Papers,
the "second Star Race was one descended of dog-creatures similar to wolves. They were known as KANUS, Wolf Beings of the Star system SIRIUS (the Dog Star)" and then King AN and his sons Enki, Enlil along with rest of Annunaki originated from that.
The Terra Papers can explain so much, it's so fascinating. It really makes you think about things differently, whether you believe it or think of it as science fiction. For example, why in the Bible is the "act of knowing" so "evil" and why after Adam and Eve realized they that were naked had to cover themselves up? Well, Enlil didn't want humans to enjoy procreating but Enki shared this knowledge anyway. Once humans learned this, they could no longer hide the physical signs of being aroused without covering up and if they were spotted they were thrown out of the garden/paradise. If anybody out there hasn't read it, I highly recommend it if you have any interest on things outside the Matrix.

@Ryno: I agree. Now that I did the reading I think I would like to read these. It just "feels" right...
@Beanpod: It gives off the energy of a "rant" but there may be something in there too... I get to take it all in, and then digest what feels true.

Wow. I read the Terra Papers last night and I thought they fit like a glove. The only discrepancy that stood out to me was about Venus. They seem to indicate that Venus was already there in the line-up of planets. However, Velikovsky postulated in "Worlds in Collision" that Venus was expelled from Jupiter and ended up where it did around 1500 BC, causing catastrophes to planet earth. Wondering if you can get any accuracy about this. Thanks!

The Terra Papers explain the origin of the Blacks and Caucasians/Hebrews. But what about the Asian people?
Where they also "engineered" of Enki?! At a later date or just like the Caucasian at the same time...?

@Lisa: All humans were created by combining and manipulating DNA. I do see they were created just as all other types of humans were made.

Hi Lynn! Thx for all of your great work. Can you tell us how you feel about this channeling? According to Channeler Kathryn May (at the link), the cabal were escorted to the light en masse and the few that resisted were recycled. This would obviously be a very significant event for all of us. Please let us know your impressions. Thx much.

We do not come from Orion. We came from a star system called Lyra, that no longer exists because the Orion Reptillians destroyed it. We scattered across the galaxy, hiding from them and colonized many different systems, including Andromeda and the Pleiades. Our cousins, the Pleiadeans (Blonde, Nordics) were the first Lyran/Humans to fight the Orions (Reptillians) but, after thousands of years of war, made peace and joined them.
"Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... " - Friedric Nietzsche
They combined their genetics to create human royalty on Earth to rule the planet and many others. However, ultimately it is the Orions that are in control of all elites/royalty, wealthy humans that rule for them in their absence.

The Greys, as we call them, are from the Zeta Reticuli star system. A very long time ago, the Orion Reptilians discovered the Zetas living on a planet, very much like our own. When the Orions decide to infiltrate a sentient species, they select a group from within and combined their genetics with them to create Reptilian Hybrids. The Hybrid Royalty, as they see them, then take over and subvert that race, as was done on Earth, with us humans.
The Orions, through various forms of manipulation and influence, drove the Zetas to become selfish, obsessed with sex and violent toward each other, to enslave their minds and feed off their negative energy. (again, like us) The Orions drove them to destroy their home world and environment with destructive Nuclear weapons. At some point, the highly technologically advanced Zetas, who were individuals that also possessed a hive mind, telepathic in nature, realized they were being controlled and subverted and made efforts to free themselves. They intuited that they're emotions and sexual desires were being manipulated and distorted by the Orions, as a means of control. They decided to genetically modify themselves to remove their emotions/sexual desires. This freed many of them from the control, however, many to this day, are still slaves to the Orions and do their bidding. The ones that escaped, after many years, realized that as a consequence of their actions, stagnated their soul evolution and were driving themselves to extinction. They became a dying race. To procreate, they grow their fetuses/children in laboratories. However, their children were getting sick and dying, their souls would not stay in the bodies for long, because the life force was not strong. They needed their emotions and sex drive back, as well as individuality, which was also completely removed. At some point, they discovered humans and saw in us a reflection of their former selves. They saw in us, a path to revive their species and save their race, by creating Human/Grey hybrids to incarnate into. This is why they started abducting humans, experimenting on us, retrieving genetic material, impacting their DNA in human fetuses with women, and removing them at a later point in time, to grow in their labs, for themselves to have healthier, evolving children/vessels to survive. Because the abductors/Greys had no emotions, they did not realize the trauma and terror they were causing in us, and were insensitive to our experience, taking us out of our homes, treating us like we treat animals. However, the Grey/Human hybrids do have emotions, individuality, as well as a psychic link/hive mind. They should not be feared, as we fear their Grey/Zeta parents. Also, they have no intention of invading Earth, their only purpose with us, was the Abduction/Hybrid program, which they have completed...they are no longer abducting humans, as they did in the past 30 plus years. I used to fear the Greys as many humans, do. Now, know their story, I have compassion for them. they are not our enemy, despite the mental trauma they have caused in us. The Orions and the Alpha Draconians (an Orion colony) are the ones that enslaved this planet, they are our true enemy.

I found a video on YouTube, uploaded by someone who seems to corroborate the information I have learned about the Zeta Reticulans, as well as the Orions.
My primary source of info on the Greys is from the books Cosmic Voyage and Cosmic Explorers, by author Courtney Brown Ph.D. They are now out of print, but anyone can find online copies, free of charge on his website.

I must revise a previous statement made about the Lyra star system. Lyra, still exists. What was destroyed was not the star, but three of our planets in the system.
According to Alex Collier:
A large ship came out of the huge craft and approached the planet Bila, and reptilians from Alpha Draconis disembarked. Apparently, the Alpha Draconians and the Lyrans were afraid of each other. The Alpha Draconians were apparently the first race in our galaxy to have interstellar space travel, and have had this capability for 4 billion years. When the Draconians came and saw Bila, with all its abundance and food and natural resources, the Draconians wanted to control it. There was apparently a mis-communication or misunderstanding between the Draconians and Lyraen humans. The Lyraens wanted to know more about the Draconians before some kind of "assistance" was offered. The Draconians mistook the communication as a refusal, and subsequently destroyed three out of 14 planets in the Lyraen system. The Lyraens were basically defenseless. The planets Bila, Teka and Merck were destroyed. Over 50 million Lyraen humans were killed.

like a moth to the flame, the avo's attraction to the desk lamp caused it harm. it grew so quickly that i didn't realize it could reach the lamp, and a leaf was singed.
the other thing i've noticed is that the axillary buds (located along the stem) are either smaller or detached altogether. this must have happened just over the last few days. did they fall of on their own? have fruit flies eaten them away? i do not know. i was getting ready to make the decision to pinch, but this is causing me to hesitate.
these buds are meristematic zones! these regions are responsible for a plants growth.
the vascular cambium is the meristematic region located inside the stem and roots of the plant. it produces the xylem and phloem (which transport water/nutrients up and down the plant), and thus controls the girth of the plant. the axillary buds along the stem (from where new leaves, flowers, branches would grow) control vegetative growth. however, they are not as active as the apical meristem, located at the top of the stem. in order to stimulate vegetative growth and obtain a fuller plant, we must eliminate apical dominance. you can do this easily by cutting off the apical meristem of a young plant that has enough axillary buds.
pinching works better with certain plants over others. it is commonly practiced with basil and tomato. it is avoided with pine trees that are grown for the purpose of becoming christmas trees. the resulting adult christmas tree would require two stars (or angels), not one, to guard the highest point. but i do not know exactly how the avocado plant will respond, especially since its axillary buds appear to be damaged.
i will investigate this further before acting. notice how spindly it is:

I was afraid then and I struggled to function amongst all of the new people that were in my space. It was difficult for me to be in a new environment away from the things that made me feel safe because I was holding a big secret. The whole time I was hiding that I suffered from social anxiety disorder.
As a woman of faith, it was difficult to talk about suffering from this disorder because I thought the non-believer would think my God wasn't real because he couldn't or wouldn't heal me and that other Christians would tell me to pray about it because it's the devil. Even now, as a mom, it's scary when I have a panic attack as it causes me not to think clearly. During those moments, it's easy for me to slip into a space where I have to shut myself off from my son because I'm too overwhelmed.
These days I have to push myself to keep from focusing on the negative side effects of my condition. I spend every day educating my son about it and incorporating it into my testimony to show people that as a Christian it doesn't make you spotless, but instead it makes you the perfect vessel for God to fill.

And here comes a Mandrake Sunday strip illustrated by original artist Phil Davis. This is sunday strip No. 72 - "The Casino" from 1957. It's not a very long story but I found the story interesting enough to be taken for colouring.
I had downloaded the black and white strip pages from Lothar's blog, which is a fine blog dedicated to Mandrake strips. It seems that he had downloaded it from some newspaper archive and hence the quality of print was not good. A lot of black spots appeared on the pages which required treatment before the strip could aquire some presentable form. Out of eight pages, four were cleaned by somebody (most probably Lothar himself) when I downloaded it. But the remaining four were still in quite a bad condition.

Classic Phantom Daily Strip by Ray Moore and Lee Falk (D006 - Adventure in Algiers) in full colours.
|Phantom punishing a young girl old school style
For Indian readers this is unread in coloured form (for most even in any form) as it was not published in indrajal comics. In fact they never published any of the Moore's strips. It seems a curious case as to why they overlooked some of the best phantom stories while giving space for some non-Falkian stories from franchisees from american publishing houses e.g. charlton etc.

"Many Christians Were Killed": Dozens Slaughtered After Muslims Open Fire On Christians In Northeast Nigeria
For peaceful purposes …
Matthew 24:22, 27, "And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened… For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be."
Colossians 3:12, "Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering …"
Acts 14:22b, "… we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God."
By Stefan J. Bos and Paul Jongas, BosNewsLife – "Islamic militants attacked a predominantly Christian area in northeastern Nigeria on Sunday, November 3, 'slaughtering' villagers, just days after they killed Christians elsewhere in the region, residents and pastors said.
Local media quoted fleeing residents as saying suspected members of the Boko Haram group 'slaughtered several people as they were heading to church' in Sabon Gari, on the border of Nigeria's Borno and Adamawa states.
It was not immediately clear how many people had died, but at least dozens of Christians were feared dead in Borno and Adamawa states according to conservative estimates, following recent attacks attributed to Boko Haram.
In one of the bloodiest incidents last week, suspected Boko Haram fighters stormed the northeast Nigerian town of Mubi, killing Christians, BosNewsLife learned.
'Many Christians were killed,' confirmed two local pastors to a BosNewsLife reporter. 'Churches were attacked and torched,' added the pastors who were not identified for security reasons.
Some 350 children were reportedly missing following ensuing clashes between Nigerian troops and Boko Haram, Nigerian media reported.
Beatice Elisha, a civil servant trapped in the town, said he heard gunfire north when the attack started earlier in the day. 'They were burning houses and many people have died. There was gunfire all over the place,' he told media.
Last weekend suspected Boko Haram insurgents killed at least 17 people and abducted dozens in several attacks in the central region of neighboring Borno state, reporters said. At least 25 girls were reportedly kidnapped from a remote northeastern town a few days earlier.
In what appears to be escalating violence, Nigerian media said furious Nigerian forces and members of local vigilante groups killed and beheaded 41 Boko Haram members in the area. Boko Haram did not immediately confirm those reports.
Nigeria's Foreign minister Aminu Wali had said the surge in violence would not jeopardise talks on peace with the militants, but Boko Haram later denied Nigeria's announcement of a ceasefire agreement.
It also said hundreds of mainly Christian schoolgirls abducted in April have been converted to Islam and married off." Read more.
Flashback: Nigeria: Boko Haram: Our Goal Is To Eliminate Followers Of Christ – "Terrorist organisation Boko Haram has issued a statement making clear that its goal is to eliminate followers of Christ from Nigeria and establish an Islamic state. 'The Nigerian state and Christians are our enemies and we will be launching attacks on the Nigerian state and its security apparatus as well as churches until we achieve our goal of establishing an Islamic state in place of the secular state … We are responsible for the suicide attack on a church in Jos and also another attack on another church in Biu,' a spokesman for the group, Abul Qaqa, is said to have told reporters in the northeastern city of Maiduguri over the phone."

I like how Bumblebee looks like in robot form this time around. He looks badass and sleek.Its not much to go on but better than nothing. Feel free to add what you think in the comments. (via TFW2005)
The Stingray is one of my favorite looking robots.
So is the Bugatti. Wait til you see this guy in action. He will blow your mind!!
And Hound reminds me of the bearded chubby fellow in Braveheart. He might take the cake when it comes to personality.

The head is more believable as Bulkhead. Shape put me in the mind of his TFP head. But it seems this will be hound, unless Nelson is "misinforming" us. That said.. I don't like it and really wish the artist would stop trashing the characters' designs this way.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous10/02/2013 1:06 AM
I think that face is the best human-like face that suits Hound. Could someone really think any better?ReplyDelete
- Anonymous10/02/2013 2:51 AM
Actually what if his head was a human look-a-like hologram? I mean over at tfwiki, it is said "Hound wishes he were human" it could be possible he made a custom type 'hologram' face to try and blend with the humans or more simply scans a picture and changes to that as his face? It is also said that Hound uses holograms as to disguise himself....... I mean anything is possible in Bayverse right?
Just putting my thoughts out there....Replies

Need I remind that Dino was originally meant to be Mirage and he was never made able to tuen invisible in the film itself. So I don't believe Hound either has his hologram abilities.Delete
- Martinus Prime10/02/2013 8:51 AM
Try to blend in? With a human face? He's a big ass alien robot. I think this is the stupidest Transformers head I have ever seen.Delete
To bad this santabot is in the movie.
Like anon 12:18 says, why are they trashing TF character's? A face, especially a human looking face, does not give it more personality. You give it personality with the things it does and how he talks.
I don't trust what Nelson says, he says Bee looks good in robot form this time around?? Heck, I like bee how he looks now, he already looks good, especially when and how his facemask flips forward. I'm getting worried he 's gonna look goofy.
- Anonymous10/02/2013 9:13 AM
Well since there are so many negative statements about Hound's look, I tried to be positive and it looks like it ain't working. I am not saying I like it, i am pretty much on the same boat as you people, I just wanted to hope it was only a disguise....
I agree with you Martinus Prime, I love the way Bee looked in DOTM and that will be forever my favourite upgrade of him. I have a gut feeling the "new" Bee is going to look crap. To be honest, I still don't even like the 2014 Cheverlot Camaro model..... especially the front and rear lights!
- Anonymous10/02/2013 9:16 AM
Correction: I should have said, try to feel like a human, instead of "blend in with the humans"
- Martinus Prime10/02/2013 11:01 AM
I agree with you on the new taillights on the 2014 Camaro, but overall and especially the front lights with the small grill, I think the new Camaro looks way better, just awesome imho.Delete

I think it is railroadnail instead of a pipe.Delete
Leadfoot's face and beard look much more robotic and looks nothing like this santabot. In fact, all the facial hear on all TF look robotic, not organic. This face and beard are much more organic, that doesn't fit metal vehicle like the Oshkosh, it even has a human nose and big round humanlike eyes.
This is just the wrong way to go.

Dudemus: Sentinel's looked like a cross between both. Its bugs me at times though. I mean with the humanoid characteristics, like for instance. Megatron had teeth for one. Maybe Mike B is hinting on something or he just like the feel of his robotic features.

That's the problem. Its the problem that its not a surprise thats getting the majority of the fanbase. Bay knows this stuff ticks off your hardcore transfan. He also knows that the bulk of us (no pun intended) will fill the seats anyway because we just truly love our bots and cons. I hope the next director takes it to heart better with a more serious approach. Me being a fan of hound, back when I was a kid... I never imagined him with a beard. I show support financially to help keep the brand going. To do my part... However I still say this head sucks.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous10/02/2013 2:14 PM
Hardcore Tff&:I just stumbled onto this blog. I love it...I'm a die hard fan and have been one since the beginning. I like that Bay has a different approach all of the many universes had signature approach. Who would have thought to see optpri as a gorilla?...I think most of you are giving his approach an unfair shake. You guys should be more open minded. I'm a collector as well and I have to say that the toy adaption of the film characters are the better of them all in my opinion, except of course the DOTM version although it had a few good one all the one that were not released here in the states...bye for nowReplyDeleteReplies
- Anonymous10/02/2013 2:38 PM
Your whole "I like them and its unfair that you all don't." Approach is wrong. Most of us have given Bay BEYOND a fair shake. He got rich off the majority of us that still fill the seats and thats why he keeps doing. He doesnt pay attention to the fan that says "Hey I like your movies but can we make the head look more like what the fans grew up loving." How is that not fair? I know for a fact guys like Martinus Prime have been here for years. So have I, just lurking as an Anon (which may change here soon). I agree with your whole statement about Guerrila Optimus, at the same time I disagree. The allure of Transformers is that they can take any shape as an alt more. And across all the different continuities no one has quite slaughtered SOME of the head sculpts quite like Bay and gang. That being said.. He did do somethings right. For everything he did right through, he did a few things wrong. Optimus Prime and Ironhide are completely badass in the movieverse by design. Look at what happened to ironhide. You read into whats being said wrong.Delete
- Anonymous10/02/2013 10:14 PM
Hardcore Tff&: firstly, you read my statement wrong. Just like you have the right to your opinion, so do I. Now you on the otherhand are possibly one of the few who feels that Michael Bay should use a G1 style for the characters. Listen, that look is totally outdated. While I'm reading these comment on how he's so wrong with his idea of face sculpts, have you even concidered the fact that the G1 versions had human like faces, they weren't intricately detailed at all. Michael Bay is doing the samething only his versions are a more definded detail of robotic and humanoid with some of the characters. Those G1days are in the past, move on. Trust l wouldve liked to see some G1 vehicles in the first movie when it was released like many die hard fans, but then it wouldn't make much sense to put 1980 vehicles in a 2007 adaption. And he has heard complaints, why do you think he put the old flatnose truck/Optipri in this movie?...and what does it look like? Exactly what it is...Old.Delete
- Anonymous10/02/2013 11:07 PM
I don't recall mentioning G1... They dont have to pull anything from G1 honestly. I'm a bigger fan of the comics of Dreamwave and IDW. You assume a bit too much from what I said. Im always interested in seeing others' take on transformer but some of the things Bay and gang have done take it too far. Go back read what I said again. I praised his designs for Prime and Ironhide... At this point I will even point out that I liked the Dreads, Sideswipe, Bee, Jazz, Jolt, and a few others from the bayverse. But when you start with guys like Jetfire, Q, Devastator, and the others that were just hardcore messed up... Thats a bit too far. Point blank... You bring up the flatnose truck... I actually dont even like that its there. G1 will always have a place in childhood memories but its not what I'm looking for in these movies. That said again.. You read it wrong and at this point... Drop it.Delete
- Anonymous10/03/2013 4:59 AM
Dudemus:hardcore tff&, you made some good points about the upgrade, yes it wouldve been idiotic to use 1980 concepts in a 2007 version I agree. But I don't think that that was really the posed arguement from diehard fans. What it was? It was that he didn't use up to date models of the vehicle modes. Ex: Jazz couldve been a porshe, bumblebee couldve been a updated vw beetle etc. There were issues with makers of these cars however, getting to the point about mike b version of the head sculpt, again I agree. However there has to be a limit at times. He has a way of taking things too far and it gets under our skin. We watch these movies because we love the transformers as much as you do. We have given him his fair shake. And here's the proof...DOTM roughly about 1.3 billion in ticket sales.Delete
- Martinus Prime10/03/2013 10:57 AM
Yeah, it was never about G1. It's not even about the facial hear imo. It's about Bay taking the headsculpts completely too far.Delete
I do have problems with Jetfire's cane, but I have no problems with Jetfire's beard, nice straight metal points and also Sentinels beard, they look mechanical and I like them, this face alltogether just looks to organic.
I have also no problems with the cars, I like the Pontiac Solstice for Jazz. You can't have a new VW New Beetle for Bee, that's not bad-ass. A boys first car should be muscle car.
- Anonymous10/02/2013 5:54 PM
The only thing we are seeing is a cardboard cutout. They aren't completely accurate to how the character is going to look after the cgi is rendered. Reserving all judgement on the head till we actually see it in action.ReplyDelete
Aside from the Twins and "Q"...Bays cons and bots overall look pretty badass. From their colors, to their size, I think overall they are really cool to watch. I really dont count Wheelie (which I personally liked) and Brains...they were not a huge part of the trilogy. I am crossing my fingers and hoping that Santabot (Hound) was just a prop laying around the Paramount storage room and he used it.ReplyDelete
Was also thinking...what if it is Paramount telling Bay that he has to put in these types of characters to maybe draw in a different type of crowd? Could something like that be put into Bay's contract? Just a thought? Cant wait to see these Cons and Bots in full CGI...
- Anonymous10/02/2013 8:56 PM
If I was Bay, I would purposely put up some faces that would just piss everyone off and then when the movie comes out, be surprised that what we saw was wrong.ReplyDelete
Did anyone see the fan shot video that appearently captures the voice of one of the Autobots? While he says 'slingshot', the voice is very obviously that of Leadfoot.ReplyDeleteReplies

Yeah, totally a "NASCAR warrior god"...white trash mullet, Oakley blades, he's like a trailer park throwback to 1987. The wreckers are like Jar Jar Binks triplets in the transformers universe. I can't believe people like the Wreckers and I really can't believe there are enough people that liked them to justify bring them back for AOE. I wish Bay would stop trying to give the bots human like features, they're not humans they're freakin ALIEN ROBOTS. Enough with the terrible accents as well, they're not Scottish, they're Cybertronian. I Know, it's easy to get the two confused...Delete
- brandon10/04/2013 4:37 PM
The autobots learned to speak by watching videos on the world wide web. so they would have picked up accents if all they watched was Scottish videos, or if they watched Mexican or redneck videos.Delete

Yeah, your're right about that, that old Megatron head stuck for a long time.Delete
I hope Bay learns from this and changes it, but I don't think he will, remember Q? That polehead was also spotted on set several times and everybody complained about that too. That head wasn't changed in the movie. The release is still far away, many things can still change.

Not yet. Now I'm leaning towards Ratchet.ReplyDelete
I also had a thought. With all the different Transformers names being tossed around, I wonder if 'Slingshot' is in fact a cover name for Leadfoot, Wheeljack or Perceptor. From that video (if it's a real video), it sounds like the Bot is a scientist. I still believe the voice belongs to Leadfoot though.ReplyDeleteReplies
- Anonymous10/05/2013 2:20 PM
Leadfoot was referred as Flash and Wheeljack "Que" as Steeljaw in Ben Procter's concept art, but of course filming might use different production names. Only name we know certainly as only production name is "Drift". Bugatti was said to have much better name than that.Delete

I get what your saying. 'Drift' is a working production name. We don't know if 'Crosshairs' and 'Cyclonus' are real names or working production names.

Who says Hot Rod is most fans favorite bot? He for sure isn't one of my favorites, not even close and I always thought Rodimus is a pussy. I don't know how they are portrait in the comics, but I'm not fond of them.Delete
For what i've read on tfwiki, Bludgeon is an awesome Decepticon who is skilled in an awesome martial art. So when Nelson says that the Bugatti has an awesome style of fighting, maybe they are matched equally.
And....... Bludgeon can generate electric fireballs!! So there's a chance that the fireballs that were shot on set last week, that that was Bludgeon.

Dudemus:I agree, Rodimus was trash. I stop watching the next gen cartoon with him as the leader of the Autobots. Couldnt stand him...if he is in this movie l sure hope he has balls, but I couldn't see him fighting and winning against these larger decepticon bad asses. It would be weak...unlike Optimus vs Megatron, Shockwave the Fallen and Sentinel.Delete
- Martinus Prime10/07/2013 10:32 AM
Yes, I also tought Ultra Magnus should have been the Autobot leader after Optimus. He is far more superior than Rodimus and gave Rodimus multiple times advice how to be a leader.Delete
But now we have a brand new Optimus, Bay will never kill him in this new trilogy. I also think Hasbro doesn't want to kill Optimus again, after the ruckus it caused back in the 80's. Children crying and stuff, I think they will never let Optimus die for good again. Look at all the cartoons that came after G1 and Takara, always with some version of Optimus.

"a disgraced "samurai" Decepticon (who seeks to regain his honor by helping the Autobots) will both be added to the robot roster."-BludgeonReplyDelete
The red Kreo toy with a skull face and samurai swords was clearly Bludgeon. And don't tell me the Kreo toys that match all of the color schemes from the movie with a Age Of Extinction label aren't related to the movie. This wouldn't be the first time characters were revealed through toy leaks. It's Bludgeon, get pissed, I'm unreliable, bla bla, it's still Bludgeon.
Again, we only have official confirmation of three Bots: Optimus, Bee and Hound. Just because Kreo released characters with similar color schemes, does not mean they're actual characters in the movie. There have been plenty of Transformers toys released of Bots that were not in any of the movies, but still bore the movie's name ( Seaspray comes to mind). Some of those Bots even had similar coloring to the Bots that really were in the movies. I've run into this time and again, while looking for Transformers to add to my new collection.Nobody is doubting that the Kreo toy you came across is Bludgeon, we're just doubting that he's an actual character in the movie itself,that's all.ReplyDelete

Fast forward to today and, thankfully, most of us have a mature understanding of the game and can distinguish between fantasy and reality. However, an undercurrent of unease towards DnD still exists, especially among those who have never really had any interest in or exposure to fantasy works. The popular Lord of the Rings and Narnia movies - prominent fantasy works by Christian authors - certainly helped to bridge that gap, but the doubt and stigma remain to varying degrees.
When I decided I wanted to run a game of DnD, I wanted to include those people close to me - people who knew I was a fantasy/sci-fi geek (albeit a somewhat closeted one), but hung out with me anyway - people I also happen to share a faith with. As I tried to guide them through the character creation process, there was a definite interest in playing Divine characters - protecting the weak and healing the sick being noble callings - but also an understated anxiety at having to choose only one deity out of many to follow.
To make things easier, I created the following bit of fluff around which the theology of our campaign world would be built (It should be noted that this was written well before PHB2 and the release of the newer divine classes):
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth. When He had finished creating, God decided to rest – but before he rested, He created 20 powerful servants to oversee His new creation and the proliferation of Man, his most cherished creation.
Before long, as mankind spread across the face of the Earth, his memories of God faded and he began to venerate the mighty servants of the Most High as gods. The 20, recognizing their God-given power and might over creation, allowed the worship to take place. Eventually, they come to think of themselves as the gods that the simple mortals who now swarmed across the surface of the Earth believed they were.
Of the 20, nearly half of them became harsh and unforgiving tyrants. Over time, those who followed them became as twisted physically as their master's now-dark and scheming desires. Others remained distant and aloof, occasionally taking an interest in mortal affairs, but finding them, for the most part, pointless and irrelevant. But a few tried to remain true to the purpose and intent for which they were created, despite not quite remembering why it was they held those convictions in the first place.
Then, without warning, God spoke.
The 20 were called together. They were reminded of their creator and the purpose of their existence. They were given a chance to repent of their arrogance and for accepting worship they themselves were not worthy of. Four of the 20 repented immediately and swore fealty to their creator. Nine of the 20 stormed from the Golden Throne in anger, unwilling to humble themselves to a God who had, in their opinion, abandoned the world He had given to them. The remaining seven went their separate ways, undecided on how they should respond or what their course of action would be.
War erupted in heaven. The self-proclaimed gods, seeking to depose the creator they thought weak and distant found themselves cast out of heaven's radiance and into the darkness. But even in this forsaken place, the fallen gods refused to admit defeat. They used what power and influence still left to them to take their war to the mortal plane – drawing all creation into their futile rebellion. Darkness spread through all the races that now populated the world, and monstrosities of every imaginable description were loosed upon the Earth.
It was at this point that God did something unheard of in the history of creation – to those among His followers who were faithful and pure of heart, He gifted a portion of His own Spirit.
These frail mortals now had within them the ability to stand against the darkness and bring hope to their fellow man - The newly empowered children of God taking up arms and placing themselves squarely between the darkness and a world that, in many instances, was still unsure of itself in the ongoing war of powers it could barely comprehend.
Early on, two distinct groups of light warriors emerged in the wake of God's gifting of His Spirit: The clerics, who focused on healing and undoing the harm wrought by the fell powers upon the world; and the Paladins, who fought to prevent any further destruction or corruption by the forces of darkness and evil from occurring.
In terms of gameplay, this meant that all good-aligned gods now fell under the banner of 'God' - players with Channel Divinity can choose any divine feat as long as it was from a good-aligned god. Since Channel Divinity can only ever be used once per encounter, I didn't think this would cause problems. (In practice, it would seem that the non-class related Channel Divinity feats aren't that great anyway - IMHO).
Also, it streamlines things now that all good divine characters can go to a single temple when they visit a city, rather than having to travel between multiple locations.

UnNews has been everybody's first turn when they are looking for the most recent news and announcements, but the website has come under certain scrutiny.
Pete Dochery has complained to local authority, the Police, about an article claiming he took drugs. Of course, Dochery never did drugs. Not ever.[1]
He made the allegations earlier today, and was arrested under drug offenses.
UnNews defended itself, with <insert name here> making the following statement:
"UnNews is a dedicated news server giving Uncyclopedians constant updates in the large world we live in today.
"Of course some[2] articles have some libel, but then what doesn't?"
Charges were subsequently dropped.

Did I mention I've run pub quizzes, in my time … ?
I did … ?
Oh, good … !
Part of that's meant, over the year's, that I've had to rely on all sort's of resources to get a basic stock of quiz questions, and other bits and bobs.
So I've found a few sites to be … handy … !
Quiz Questions.
In no particular order, here's the quiz question sites I've found handiest: these have a good selection of both free and non-free questions.
Art and Images.
I've also source artwork and images from all over the place, artwork-wise.
Most of the more eye-catching jester images were originally commissioned by me, from a friend of mine, called Ms Vix — and are copyrighted to her. I've also supplemented them with various royalty free images.
Here …
- deviantArt Not free, per sé, but worth looking at.
Open Source Software.
I've also found various Open source software useful, over the years. And please note, this is a bit of a mix: there's directories, productivity and games, listed in this section.
- Open Office. THE open source productivity suite.
- NeoOffice. (The Mac port of Open Office, and the one I prefer.)
- The Gimp. The Gnu Image Manipulation Programme, before you get excited.
- Ubuntu. The World's most popular Open Source operating system.
Here's a few open source directories: most of these are directories of genuinely open source software, but it also includes Softpedia, which has a mix of free software.
- SourceForge. This is the most popular open source Directory, and where I'd suggest you look for stuff first.
- Osalt. Osalt has a good range of Open source software, and can offer suggestions to popular commercial software.
- Softpedia. This site offers a mix of free software, open source or otherwise.
Oh, and BEFORE I forget, you might find these fun to play with … !!
- Pac The Man X. I've had my copy of Pac the Man X, by McSebi Software, for years: it's serious retro fun!!
- The Battle For Wesnoth. Which you'll either love or hate. And need time to play!
Now, I hope those are helpful for you. Let's move on, shall we?
Yes …
These sites are ones where I'm either a fan of the sites or artists concerned, or friends with sites thats showing their talents off. Follow the links, and don't forget to mention me when you get there!!
- Terry Pratchett. This is Mr P's UK site: if I get the chance at a later date, I'll add his US one, to.
- Dumpy's Rusty Nuts. Dumpy and the boys have been — much like Jerry Lee Lewis — out there, somewhere, for many years. WAY out there! Miss them at your cost!
- Tyche's Games. Sean's an old friend who's been running Tyche's Games for some years. If you're in Athens, feel free to drop in and browse. Hopefully, the traffic won't be that bad!
- Pinkylips Poetry. Andrea's one of the Old Peculiar's Poet's in residence. And a definite Twilight fan!
- Mama Alfy's Ramblings. Which is the blog page of our other Residence writer, Angela!
And before I forget …
Here's a trio of causes!
- The Alzheimer's Society. And if a Terry Pratchett fan who's lost a relative to this, CAN't put this link in … !
- Searchlight Magazine. Bit left wing, this one … !
- The Robin Hood Tax. As is this one: I'm left wing enough to admit I'm mildly hacked off the Tories have hijacked this for the 2010 Election.
Enjoy those, and don't forget: tell 'em I sent you!!

Beresheit is one parasha where everyone knows the story. God creates the world, Adam and Eve sin and are banished from the Garden of Eden, and so on.
I have taught the creation story many times, each time with a different project, posters, books, etc. My favorite was last year (which I missed blogging about). It was a box where each side was decorated with a picture of a different day of creation. Inside the box were candlesticks, a kiddush cup, and a challah cover.
As I said before, everyone knows the story but if you ask the average person, "What did God create on day three?" they are stumped. They will probably try to count on their fingers. And that leads us to this years project: Beresheit nails! This way, all week (more or less) my girls will be looking at an image which is on the corresponding digit.
There is a someone, Midrash Manicures, who already decorates nails for each parasha and blogs about it. But I am not a good nail artist, so that isn't for me. My plan was to use this very cool method of making your own nail decals. I collected a variety of images for each day. Unfortunately, I don't have a printer to try the process. :(
But I painted the girls nails white.
Then I got the primary colors I used to for milk/meat/pareve in the kitchen and attempted to paint the first three days. Light looks like an omelet, but the girls know it is light and that is what counts.
A blue stripe at the top and bottom of ring finger is for sky and water. 'Tall man' has a flower. But sun moon and stars is going to be really hard to free hand. Hopefully I will find a printer tomorrow. I made lots of those little images for a wide margin of error. If others try this, please let me know how it goes.
Fingers 1-7 are pretty self explanatory. The snake is for 8. Nine and ten are the Torah and the 'bet' for Beresheit.
Moadim B'Simcha!

Château des ducs de Bretagne
The Château des ducs de Bretagne is a large castle located in the city of Nantes in the Loire-Atlantique département of France; it served as the centre of the historical province of Brittany until its separation in 1941. It is located on the right bank of the Loire, which formerly fed its ditches. It was the residence of the Dukes of Brittany between the 13th and 16th centuries, subsequently becoming the Breton residence of the French Monarchy.
The castle has been listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since 1862. Today the castle houses the Nantes History Museum.

Smoking impacts
The Amnesia haze is for the most part in the head. It has an elegant and murky smoke and it is perfect for a solid yet smooth high. The Amnesia impacts are obviously perceptible after around 10 – 15 minutes. Amnesia has a reasonable inspiring, social and cerebral impact yet it doesn't keep going long.
Plant highlights
The dim lime green buds are relentless and thickly secured with precious stones. It's a decent looker too with very much framed calyxes and heaps of precious stones and profound orange hairs. This great Amnesia seed strain has brought forth many crosses.

15 Consecutive Home Victories
Hello world, it's been awhile. This octopus is in honor of the 15 consecutive home victories (passing the Red Wings previous record of 14, back in 1965) the Red Wings achieved on Jan 16th 2012 against the Buffalo Sabres. I was lucky enough to be at the Joe when they chased Ryan Miller in his hometown putting up 5 goals before the 30 minute mark. I didn't have an octopus to throw on the ice but I hoped this would make up for it. And today I can say that yours, mine and our Detroit Red Wings currently are sitting NUMBER 1 in the entire league after defeating Phoenix last night. Let's keep it up!!

I was going for a cloudy evening, but it's still too murky for my liking.

Something tells me I'm going to be visiting 401 more often. I guess I like abuse because he's given me a little bit of a hard time with my Virgin Mobile post.
What he's found out today is golden.
Apparently the Trekkies are getting some funding from people involved in the commercial spaceflight industry.
Man these people have lots of money. Why else would they be spending it on such a useless waste of time? The way I figure it, they will put Enterprise into syndication with re-runs, release a DVD and when both explode in sales and ratings they'll be forced to either bring it back or to pull a FireFly and get turned into a movie.

For the past eight weeks, my mind has been consumed with educational technology. The course objectives for CEP 811 (Adapting Innovative Technologies to Education) were simple in wording, but quite complex in practice. The objectives consisted of understanding ways in which interactive computer technology may be employed in direct support of independent student learning and the roles that Internet-based tools and resources may be effectively used in classrooms in support of educational goals. I can say that this objective was mean; however, a full understanding could not be achieved as the technologies are every evolving. Some of the ways that I enjoyed having the chance to explore were webquests, stand-alone instruction resources (StAIR), and web creation. As a result of these technology explorations, I had a chance to try a webquest with my students. Although the lesson was still mostly teacher directed (due to the needs of my students and their limited abilities with utilizing a computer independently), I felt that they experience of using the webquest was as good for the students as myself. The students were able to see the entire lesson organized upfront. Even though they may not be able to read to content, they still were able to see the organization and the activities for the day. For me, the organization also helped in pacing of the lesson and creating needed adaptations. The StAIR project was truly an experience. Although it was quite time consuming, I see so many applications for creating one to use within the classroom as well as use online. One of my goals is to start creating lessons available for parents to review with students online, such as name practice, letter practice, or sight word 'flashcards'. My StAIR project using PowerPoint as well as the other examples from class, have given me several ideas in which to make this happen. Lastly, the website creation project was a perfect building block from the blog creation. This also gave me exposure and practice with various website services which will help me when I begin to explore creating my own 'tech' website over the next 6 months or so.

Choosing and using technology within the classroom is often a tricky task, especially when you are new to the curriculum, new to technology, or both! This course help me develop a foundation for being able to assess a technology for value and then assess whether the technology adds value to the curriculum. One of my 'pet peeves' is teachers saying they are using technology when they are (a) using a new technology, but an old purpose; such as using a SMART Board only for projection and saying you are using a SMART Board (b) using technology, but the technology doesn't match the lesson or add value to the lesson being taught; hence, using technology to say you are using technology. Through the TPACK exercises, webquest evaluation, and the classmate comments in MERLOT, I feel that I have a better understanding of what technology integration should look like as well as the pedagogy behind the appropriate integration.
The section of this course that most interested me was the session on online learning. Living in Ohio, the commercials seem to inundate me with information about all the online schools available. My own school district has started a Moodle site (yes, exploring this will be my "self assigned" homework over winter break) in order to incorporate more online learning for students and staff. I was intrigued by the information regarding Michigan's online requirements and I wonder how long until these are found in other states, such as Ohio. Although I enjoyed this session, I think it may have left me with more questions than answers.
Lastly, this course allowed me to explore and experiment with technologies I was familiar with, but did not know the full possibilities of using these technologies to create amazing educational resources for students. My main goals have not changed. I want to explore the various technologies and figure out ways to use 'mainsteam' web 2.0 technologies with ALL students. I want to be able to make curriculum and instruction more accessible though the use of these technologies and have the UDL framework become more of a part of 'best practice'. I want to continue to be a resource for other educators for how technology integration can work in ALL classrooms and benefit ALL students.
As I continue this technology journey, I will let this quote provide a framework:
"Technology is a tool that serves a set of educational goals, and if we don't think about what we want the technology for first, we end up with technology-driven solutions that have very little impact in the lives of children and in our educational system."- Linda Roberts, Director of Education Technology, U.S. Department of Education

And yet I DON'T love it anyway!
This review is also up at Channel 24.
What it's about
A mortal thief teams up with the Egyptian god Horus to try and stop the latter's uncle, Set, from bringing Egypt and the rest of the world into darkness in his quest for ultimate power.
What we thought
Way back in the late 1990s director Alex Proyas delivered one of best science fiction films of the decade in the occasionally flawed but largely brilliant Dark City. Sadly, since then he has struggled to match it with much less impressive fare like I, Robot and Knowing. Who ever would have thought he would sink so low, though, that his first film in seven years would be one of the more embarrassing examples of the ever more embarrassing sword-and-sandals fantasy genre.
Gods of Egypt is an overblown, overlong and over-CGI-saturated mess that is saved from an even lower rating only by the fact that, for a while at least, its sheer, unapologetic naffness is almost kind of endearing. Unfortunately, any humble charms it might have had in its earlier sections are completely eroded away by the end as the level of bombast and godawful CGI swallow up anything and everything in their wake.
Ancient Egyptian mythology isn't quite as exceptional as its Greek counterpart but it surely deserves better than what is little more than a glorified toy commercial for a line of toys that I'm reasonably sure are never actually going to be made. This has much less to do with Egyptian mythology than even those terrible Wrath of the Titans remakes had to do with... is it Roman mythology, I forget? This is much closer to something of a mix between Transformers and the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers but somehow even lamer.

NEWPORT NEWS — Over the past 60 years, Newport News-headquartered Ferguson adapted to change and withstood tough economic times while keeping the same business philosophy.
"As long as we create change, anticipate competitive threats and invest in people, we'll still be here," said current President and CEO Frank Roach.
Hundreds of employees enjoyed barbecue at a company picnic in May to celebrate Ferguson's 60th anniversary. For the past two years, the wholesale distributor of plumbing and building supplies reported improved sales and profits, most recently an 8.3 percent growth in revenue at its mid-year. But the atmosphere hadn't been so cheery for several years, as the housing and building downturn during the Great Recession forced Ferguson to cut its workforce by 22 percent.

Thank Heavens it's Friday, and for more reasons than one! I am so excited for this weekend, as we approach the 181st Semiannual General Conference! Conference weekend is the best. Not only does "attending church" involve my pajamas and usually a yummy homemade breakfast, but I am able to listen to the prophet speak. I've already loved all the talks shared in the Relief Society broadcast last Saturday.
To gear up for conference I read this story from a BYU devotional by the prophet, President Thomas S Monson:
On one occasion many years ago, while visiting the Indianapolis Stake, I remember President Low, who was with Purdue University there, saying to me, "Brother Monson, would you like to come out to my home and stay with us Saturday evening, or would you prefer to forego the 40-mile drive and stay here with my counselor in Indianapolis?"
I responded, "Well, President Low, it's late at night, and, if it's all the same to you, I'll stay with your counselor here in Indianapolis."
The next morning President Low greeted me at eight o'clock and said, "Brother Monson, you made an inspired decision."
I asked, "How's that?"
"Well," he replied, "we have a son away attending the university, and our anticipation was that we, of course, would have you occupy our bedroom on Saturday evening. But unknown to us and totally unexpectedly, our son returned home from school at two in the morning, came in the front door, walked up the stairs to our bedroom, turned on the light, and yelled, 'Surprise!' "
I'm not certain who would have been more surprised on that occasion had I stayed with the stake president—the student or me! I think it's rather a good thing we didn't find out.
I most definitely laughed at my cubicle imagining that scene!
The only downside to this weekend is that we don't have BYUtv at home. Still, I think we're going to try out streaming live on the internet this year. I'll let you know how it goes. Enjoy your weekend!
