A Surviving House and A Surviving Name

Bowery Bay is a small indent in the north (East River) shore of Queens, between Astoria and LaGuardia Airport. Flushing Bay, which is a significantly bigger indent, is on the east side of the airport, making the airport a peninsula unto itself. There’s a historic house on the south edge of Bowery Bay, called the Lent Homestead in the National Register nomination and the New York Landmarks designation report.

The house is officially stated to have been built in 1729, but may incorporate portions of a house built in 1656, after the family – not the Lent family, see below – acquired the land in 1654. Which family? Abraham Lent, who built the 1729 portion fo the house, had changed his last name to “Lent,” the name of his maternal family, from “Riker.” His paternal grandfather, Abraham Riker, had received the grant of this land and an adjacent island in the river from the Dutch colonial government shortly before the English takeover of New Amsterdam. The name had been “von Rycken” and was altered in various spellings before its final Anglicization.

Few people have heard of the Riker-Lent house, but Rikers Island is unfortunately well known for its jail complex. The apostrophe in “Riker’s Island” disappeared over time, just as the mid-sized stream that passed though Jonas Bronck’s farm on the mainland and known as Bronck’s River eventually became the Bronx River.

Daniel Wanjiru, the 2017 London Marathon winner, has been banned for four years due to an Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) violation, the sport’s independent Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) said on Thursday.

The Kenyan, who has denied any wrongdoing, was provisionally suspended in April.

His ban was backdated to Dec. 9, 2019, and all of the 28-year-old’s results since March 9 last year have been disqualified, the AIU said in a statement.

He has 30 days to appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

ABPs are used to monitor selected biological variables over time that indirectly reveal the effects of doping rather than attempting to detect the substance or method itself.

The AIU said the anomalies in Wanjiru’s ABP went “far beyond any physiological possible adjustment”.

  1. Really looking forward to getting my hands on iPhoto. Thought faces was particularly impressive.
    iMovie seemed very popular during the keynote; this seems to be the version that probably should have been released after the old version was buried. ’08 is not great.

  2. No way the iphone is far to expensive I got much better things to spend my money on. Here in Thailand you can buy a laptop for the of an iphone. I meen its pretty good and has lots of cool gadgets but at the end of the day its just a phone. look at this site and you’ll see what I meen. Look it up at steroidhome.com

If you had doubts about whether you should buy gold or not, watch these two videos.

Please. Pay attention.

And, here is an excerpt of the article on Zero Hedge that pointed these videos out:

Grant Williams On The Simplicity Of Owning Gold
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/26/2012

As we enter a week in which the expectations are high for yet another large expansion of central bank balance sheets, and ever more extreme monetary policy (thanks to the LTRO 2), we thought it appropos to listen to Grant Williams, of the famous “Things That Make You Go Hhhhm” newsletter, explain in its simplest terms, why it is still a good time to own gold. In two excellent and succinct presentations, Williams discusses the ‘simplicity’ of investing through the last four decades but ends by focusing specifically on the rotation to Gold at the start of the last decade (2000) and why the reason for rotating out of the precious metal has not occurred yet. Seeing the world of Gold as a battle between Too Much and Not Enough (and drawing on global supply, demand, and holdings flow) Williams lays out the reasons for owning gold, and how to know when to cover – as he narrows the five reasons to reconsider Buffett-and-Roubini’s Barbarous Relic down to one simple rule – Central Bank Monetary Policy Changes.

Prepare While You Can – Gog and Magog Is Coming

Lucifer’s plan is in action. It has been active for a long time, but this is the end-game. Or, maybe I should say that this is the prelude to the end-game. This end-game prelude kicks off with Syria, takes us through the Battle of Gog and Magog, and creates global devastation – all within the next few years (or worse, months).

God is going to allow Lucifer (aka, Satan) to run his plan until it hits the prophecy contained in the four chapters of Ezekiel 36-39. That’s where Satan’s plan begins to unravel. The massive army of Gog and Magog is defeated, Israel returns to God and sees Him whom they had pierced.

However, Satan’s plan isn’t totally destroyed at that point. He still will be able to rule the world for a short time through his false messiah, the Antichrist. But, we’ll leave that bit for another time.

The point that I want to address right now is survival – especially, survival during this ‘end-game prelude’. The period of time up-to the Battle of Gog and Magog is going to be rough, especially towards the end. Then, when the Battle of Gog and Magog hits, everything will get dramatically worse – suddenly.

Read Ezekiel 39, specifically this verse:

And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the Lord.Ezekiel 39:6

I’m not sure that anyone really understands what that means, but it should be clear to everyone that this is global devastation. It could be a nuclear weapons exchange. It could be a massive Solar Flare. It could be multiple, massive meteor strikes.

Whatever happens, this will be massive, and you need to be ready for the worst-case scenario. I doubt that it is possible to over-prepare for what is coming. Should you be fortunate enough to actually have over-prepared, you will be able to assist others in dire need.

In light of what I said above, Brandon Smith wrote an excellent article on, and you need to pay close attention to it. The only thing that I can add to what he wrote is that Israel will try hard to stay out of this conflict, while being pressured by the US to jump in. And, I still believe that the best places of safety are outside of the United States.

Are you ready for this?

What To Expect During The Next Stage Of Collapse

Thursday, 29 August 2013, by Brandon Smith

For years now at Alt-Market (and I have carefully outlined the most likely path of collapse to take place within the U.S., and a vital part of that analysis included economic destabilization caused by a loss of the dollar’s world reserve status and petro-status. I have also always made clear that this fiscal crisis event would not occur in the midst of a political vacuum. The central banks and international financiers that created our ongoing and developing disaster are NOT going to allow the destruction of the American economy, the dollar, or global markets without a cover event designed to hide their culpability. They need something big. Something so big that the average citizen is overwhelmed with fear and confusion. A smoke and mirrors magic trick so raw and soul shattering it leaves the very population of the Earth mesmerized and helpless to understand the root of the nightmare before them. The elites need a fabricated Apocalypse.

Enter Syria…

I have been warning about the Syrian trigger point for a very long time. Syria’s mutual defense pact with Iran, its strong ties to Russia, the Russian naval base off its coast, the advanced Russian weaponry in it’s arsenal, its proximity to vulnerable oil shipping lanes, all make the nation a perfect catalyst for a global catastrophe. The civil war in Syria is already spreading into neighboring countries like Iraq, Jordan, and Lebanon, and if one looks at the facts objectively, the entire war is a product of covert action on the part of the U.S. and its allies.

The U.S. trained, armed, and funded the insurgency using Al Qaeda operatives. Saudi Arabia has sent funding and arms as well. Israel has aided the rebels using air strikes within Syria’s borders (even though this means that the Israeli government is essentially helping their supposed mortal enemies). This war would NOT be taking place today without the express efforts of the West. Period.

If one takes more than a brief examination of the Syrian insurgency, they would find an organization of monsters. Wretched amoral wetwork ghouls whose crimes have been thoroughly documented, including the mass executions of unarmed captured soldiers, the torture and beheading of innocent civilians, the mutilation and cannibalism of dead bodies, and the institution of theological tyranny on a terrified populace. The U.S. created and unleashed these demons, and now, we the people are being asked by the White House to support them through force of arms.

But what is the goal here…?

The goal, I believe, is to utterly transform the world’s political, economic, and social systems. The goal is to generate intense fear; fear that can be used as capital to buy, as the globalists call it, a “new world order”. Syria is the first domino in a long chain of calamities; what the Rand Corporation sometimes refers to as a “linchpin”. As I write this, the Obama Administration is moving naval and ground forces into position and clamoring in a painfully pathetic fashion to convince the American public that 90% of us are “wrong” and that a strike on Syria is, in fact, necessary. It appears that the establishment is dead set on starting this chain reaction and accelerating the global collapse. So, if a strike does occur, what can we expect to happen over the next few years? Here is a rundown…

I was once prophesied to repair a broken kingdom. My mistake was thinking that kingdom was Camelot. But now I think I understand. The kingdom I have to repair is here. The Underworld.

—King Arthur to Hook src

King Arthur is a character on ABC's Once Upon a Time. He débuts in the first episode of the fifth season and is portrayed by guest star Liam Garrigan and co-star Webb Baker Hayes.

King Arthur is based on the character of the same name from the Arthurian legend and King Arthur from the Disney film The Sword in the Stone.

Before First Curse

As young children, romance blossoms between Arthur and Guinevere. While walking in their village of Camelot, Arthur relates his dreams of Camelot becoming a great kingdom with him as their king. He promises Guinevere that they're not only dreams and he tells her a secret about a powerful sorcerer who is trapped inside a tree, recounting the night the sorcerer spoke to him, prophesying that he would one day pull a sword from a stone, and become King Arthur of Camelot. He wishes to make Guinevere his queen, promising to fill the kingdom with her favorite flowers, middlemists, on her birthdays. Arthur begins leading her to a meadow of middlemists, but upon seeing a sword stuck in a stone, he halts, fearfully realizing it belongs to Kay, who promptly shows up to disparage him and his claims that he will be king, much to Guinevere's dismay. He sneers at Arthur's dreams, stating that Camelot is the Broken Kingdom because they have no king and never will, adding that no one would ever kneel to the orphaned boy who cleans the stables. Arthur wonders if Kay is right, but Guinevere assures him that Kay isn't and Arthur will find the sword as long as he follows his heart. ("The Broken Kingdom")

Years later, Arthur travels with Lancelot and Percival to find the Excalibur in the stone after Merlin prophesies that Arthur is fated to become the realm's ruler by pulling out the sword. When Sir Kay beats them there, Arthur cautions him to not give into darkness since the sword doesn't belong to him. Having little belief in the prophecy, Sir Kay tries his hand at taking the sword out, only to be turned into ash by the sword's power. As Lancelot and Percival look on, Arthur succeeds in pulling out the sword, but strangely, the blade's tip is missing. Arthur momentarily panics over this, but he then decides to keep it a secret from the kingdom's people, and that all they need to know is he is now their king. ("The Dark Swan")

After returning to Camelot, Arthur proves that he is the kingdom's true king by partially unsheathing the sword. He is then greeted by Guinevere's loving embrace, but she soon realizes something is wrong. In clandestine, he tells her that the sword is missing its blade tip and that he needs to make it whole again. ("The Broken Kingdom")

Arthur bestows the Round Table's Siege Perilous seat, which is only fit for a knight with the purest heart, to Lancelot, who is his most trusted friend. Other members of the Knights of the Round Table include Percival and Mordred, the latter of whom at some point rebels against Arthur and attempts to take Camelot for himself. As revenge, Arthur kills him. ("Siege Perilous", "Tales From The Underworld: A Knight With Cruella")

At some point, Arthur learns the missing part of Excalibur is the Dark One's dagger, and he seeks to find it so Excalibur can be made whole again. ("The Price")

Sometime during his reign, Arthur becomes so consumed in his quest that he begins neglecting Guinevere, who attempts to persuade him into dancing with her on her birthday. He finally accepts and asks her to wait for him, but then continues to research. In the meantime, Guinevere realizes that it wasn't Arthur who prepared her birthday celebration, but Lancelot. Suddenly, Arthur runs up to them in delight, telling Guinevere that he discovered the location of the dagger is a day's ride from the village. Lancelot prepares to go, but Arthur insists he stay and protect the queen, while he himself goes on the journey. When Arthur leaves, Guinevere uses a magic gauntlet that points to Arthur's greatest weakness, which, at that moment, is the dagger. She realizes that Arthur has the wrong location and leaves to find the dagger herself, with Lancelot accompanying her. Having returned empty-handed, Arthur sees Guinevere have a romantic farewell with Lancelot and later confronts her. She tells him that they found the dagger, to which he begins searching her satchel for it. Upon finding nothing, Arthur demands to know where it is, so Guinevere shows him a vial of enchanted sand that can fix anything. He becomes angry at her idea of using an illusion to make Excalibur whole again, but Guinevere argues she just wanted his love again, but now, she realizes she desires something else. Arthur assures her that she will be his, only if she tells him the location of the vault. Instead, she asks him to make a choice, or he will be left with a broken marriage and kingdom. He asks her what would happen if he cannot surrender the quest, to which she says that she'll follow her heart. Believing she will go to Lancelot, a paranoid Arthur tosses some sand on her. Blinded by magic, she decides to support him, to his delight. Later, he disperses more sand from Merlin's tower, which magically transforms Camelot into a castle. ("The Broken Kingdom")

Following Lancelot's departure, the Siege Perilous seat becomes vacant, with Arthur unable to find another person to fill it again. ("Siege Perilous")

After First Curse
Hoping to find magic to help him in his quest for Excalibur's missing part, Arthur leads his men into invading DunBroch, which is known to be a magical land. A battle between the two kingdoms soon takes place, and Arthur kills the king of DunBroch, Fergus after Fergus' daughter Merida tries to intervene with her arrow, but misses. Then he takes Fergus' helm, believing it is an Enchanted Helm which could magically lead all men to battle for him. After he leaves DunBroch with his men, Arthur tries the helm during another battle, but he soon realizes that it does not work because the helm is not a magical one. Eventually, Arthur's army is surpassed, and they loose the battle. ("The Bear King")

Before Third Curse

Somewhere in the Enchanted Forest, King Arthur and his knights approach Emma and some of her allies. He informs them that a prophecy has foretold they will help reunite Camelot with Merlin, who is currently missing. King Arthur then leads them to his castle in Camelot. ("The Dark Swan")

Arriving at the castle, King Arthur introduces his guests to his Queen, Guinevere, and then announces there will be a ball held in their honor. He later shows them a tree in the courtyard which Merlin is trapped in and learns from David that they are desperate to find Merlin in order to defeat the Dark One. When Arthur asks who is the prophesied savior, Emma prepares to speak up, but Regina claims the title in her place, not wanting Emma's cover to be blown. During the ball, Arthur and Guinevere are present during the festivities. Things take a tragic turn when Percival attacks Regina, but Robin intervenes, getting injured in the process. Before Percival can give Robin a final fatal blow, David saves Robin by killing Percival. In the aftermath, Regina outs herself as the former Evil Queen that once massacred Percival's village, which is why he wanted her dead. Arthur believes in second chances, though, and takes Regina's feat in healing Robin's wound as a sign that she truly is the savior, not knowing it was actually Emma who used her Dark One powers to heal Robin. Later that night, Arthur is sitting at the Round Table with Percival's shield when Guinevere comes to talk to him about their guests. She fears trouble on the horizon because of them since they know what will happen because of Merlin's prophecy, but they don't know how. Arthur insists they will have to see it through since the newcomers want to destroy the Dark One, and while it'll be difficult to do, it's the only way to obtain the Dark One's dagger and finally unite Excalibur with it. He reasons that if Excalibur is not made whole, they'll lose the kingdom they worked so hard to build. As a show of acceptance of what they must do, Guinevere places her hand over Excalibur, while Arthur puts his hand over hers. ("The Price")

As Regina researches magical remedies that may be able to free Merlin, Arthur comes to check up on her. Getting inspiration from Mary Margaret, Regina realizes they need a toadstool, the crimson crown, which can communicate with someone through any magical barrier, namely Merlin. Arthur believes it is in the Brocéliande, the Forest of Eternal Night, but the item may only be a myth. David insists on going, so Arthur agrees to accompany him after they get weapons from the Round Table room. There, Arthur tells him about the seats of the Round Table, which represent equal status among himself and the other knights except for the Siege Perilous, a seat he once bestowed to the knight with the purest heart, Lancelot, until he was betrayed by him. When David reveals Lancelot died, Arthur is saddened by the news, lamenting that Lancelot was a good knight despite his fall into temptation. Arthur's squire, Grif, brings them a relic chest, and from it, Arthur takes a torch called the unquenchable flame to help guide him and David through the forest. On the way there, the men find common ground, with both of them having been born commoners and risen above their ranks. Within the forest, they spot the toadstool on mossy land, but someone must cross a water logged bridge to get to it. As Arthur watches nervously, David makes the journey and pockets the toadstool, but on the way back, he is attacked by reanimated dead knights. Upon seeing one force David underwater, Arthur pulls him to safety. Without the latter's notice, Arthur steals the toadstool, which David later believes was lost during the underwater struggle. With the quest being a failure, Arthur and David discuss the irony of their claims to fame; Arthur's being the prophesied king, and David's being his princess' rescuer, although both desire to be known for more than just that. They agree that it's loss that gives them the strength to be brave and heroic. That night, Arthur makes David a knight of the Round Table and gifts him the Siege Perilous seat. Later, Arthur reveals to Guinevere that he stole the toadstool, in order to protect the kingdom. ("Siege Perilous")

At some point, Arthur sees a woman attempting to steal his boat to cross the Ivory Sea to DunBroch but stops her. He later imprisons the redhead in the castle dungeon, while taking away her wisp. ("The Bear and the Bow")

Now that David is a knight of the Round Table, Arthur reveals the truth about Excalibur's missing half to him. Not having much faith in whether Merlin is their only hope, he asks for David's assistance with finding the Dark One's dagger to make it whole again, which will give him the power to purge the Darkness for good. David leaves to think it over, and upon returning, he confesses that Emma is the Dark One, which is why he needs the Darkness banished. To the latter's relief, Arthur is sympathetic to his situation, agreeing to help get rid of the Darkness in Emma. David reveals Lancelot is alive, and though Arthur intended this to remain a secret between them for now, Guinevere overhears them and bursts in, demanding to know the former knight's whereabouts. Arthur fears the dagger isn't safe now that Lancelot is in Camelot, to which David opens a box to show them the dagger, only to realize it's empty and Mary Margaret must have taken it. While David searches for her, Arthur follows Mary Margaret and Lancelot into the Vault of the Dark One, where they prepare to hide the dagger. Arthur forces Mary Margaret to give it to him, and he then attempts to summon the Dark One, but it fails. Mary Margaret admits the dagger is fake, before David takes him unawares from behind, revealing he and his wife were conspiring against him. Handcuffed, Arthur is led into the diner by the trio, who make plans to unite Excalibur and the dagger, as well as install Guinevere as the new ruler of Camelot. Instead, Guinevere ambushes them with soldiers, freeing Arthur, and orders for Lancelot's imprisonment after taking Excalibur back. Left with David and Mary Margaret, Arthur allows Guinevere to do the honor of blowing enchanted sand onto the couple, in order to gain their compliance with getting the real dagger. ("The Broken Kingdom")

With some of his soldiers, Arthur confronts Regina and Emma at the Merlin tree, where the women are in the midst of concocting a potion to free the sorcerer. He demands the dagger, but rather than obey, Regina slips Emma the last ingredient to combine for the potion. Arthur and his men attack, only to be blocked by Regina's incoming fireballs. After the potion is complete, it actives a stream of light and dark magic that Emma harnesses, using it to revert Merlin to human form. The sorcerer confronts Arthur about the disappointment he turned out to be, while the king fumes about Merlin giving him false prophecies that ruined his life. Arthur moves to unsheathe Excalibur, but Merlin coolly cautions him against it, warning that they both know the sword, in its uncompleted form, is useless against him. Refusing to accept defeat, Arthur threatens that things are not over yet before he and his men retreat. ("Dreamcatcher")

In retaliation against the heroes, because they freed not only Merlin but also the imprisoned Lancelot and Merida, Arthur frantically makes a cauldron potion to destroy them for conspiring against him. When his guards arrive, he orders them to get reinforcements to arm all sides of the castle. Taking a guard's helms, Arthur pours some of the liquid onto it, which melts and eradicates it to nothingness. He then orders his soldiers to take the cauldron and throw it on any intruder they see. Later, in the Round Table room, Arthur prepares Excalibur and a spell book, just when the heroes burst in to apprehend him. Regina freezes him with magic, and when she boasts that Arthur does not know how to use magic and therefore cannot hurt them, Arthur gives her a knowing smile, just as his accomplice Zelena hauls in a captive Mary Margaret to subdue the group. Zelena unfreezes Arthur and proceeds to cast a spell to tether Merlin to Excalibur, giving Arthur the power to summon Merlin to him. Arthur confronts the sorcerer about making him into the man he is today because of the false prophecy and broken sword. Merlin offers to help him reunite the sword and dagger and restore all that was lost, but Arthur believes there is no going back, and he doesn't want Merlin to have all the glory. To this, Merlin disapproves, upset that Arthur only cares about his own reputation. Shutting down the conversation, Arthur orders the sorcerer to disarm the heroes and send them away, which he does. ("Nimue")

With Arthur hold's on Merlin, the sorcerer is forced to deliver an ultimatum to Emma; hand over the Flame of Prometheus or her family will die. Emma arrives at the woods, where her family and friends are held hostage by Arthur and Zelena. She asks them to let her family go before she gives them the flame, but because Zelena threatens to start killing people, the blonde forfeits the flame in a box. Arthur cautions Zelena to make sure it's the real deal, but when Zelena opens the box, coils of Emma's dark magic wrap around her, pinning her to a tree. Going by Arthur's commands, Merlin bests Emma in a magic duel and proceeds to choke Mary Margaret, though he is briefly able to resist by loosening his grip on her. As Arthur repeats the kill command, Hook charges at him, causing Arthur to cut him on the neck with Excalibur. Hook disarms Arthur and stops him from reclaiming the fallen sword, to which Arthur rushes to free Zelena, who whisks him with her to the castle. ("Birth")

Believing they need all of Camelot on their side to defeat the heroes, Arthur and Zelena go to DunBroch in search of an Enchanted Helm that can influence people into fighting for their cause. From the old witch, they learn she gave the helm to King Fergus in a deal, leading them to steal a bow that Fergus gifted his daughter Merida, as a way to locate the missing helm. As the villains find the helm in a river, Merida confronts Arthur for killing her father and stealing his helm during the southern invasion. Arthur admits he did, but that the helm he took was non-magical, meaning King Fergus didn't use magic to win the war. Merida duels Arthur to keep him from getting the real helm, and after Merida's clansmen back her up, Arthur finds himself defeated again and quickly retreats with Zelena. ("The Bear King")

Following this failure, Arthur returns to his castle. In the Round Table room, he notices Excalibur has somehow been magically restored to its stone. When Guinevere sees large purple clouds of smoke descending upon Camelot, she calls her husband's attention to the strange phenomenon, which he recognizes as dark magic. Soon, the purple smoke engulfs all of Camelot, sending Arthur, Guinevere and the other residents in the castle to another realm. ("Broken Heart")

After Third Curse

As an effect of the curse that Emma added, she wipes everyone's memories of the last six weeks, in the hopes of finding a way to get rid of Hook's darkness without his knowledge. Shortly after arriving at Storybrooke, King Arthur and two of his knights ride through town and spot Leroy and Happy. The knights quickly disarm the men, to which Arthur takes off his helmet and demands they explain why he was brought to this land. At the mayor's office, Arthur learns from Regina that the memory wipe and realm transportation is part of a curse. Recalling that they spoke of the Dark One's identity during the journey to Camelot, David admits he was dishonest about it, to which Mary Margaret reveals the Dark One is their daughter Emma and that she cast the curse. Upon Robin Hood notifying them about other Camelot residents scattered in the woods, Arthur goes with David to search for them. After everyone is found, some of the townspeople help distribute supplies to the Camelot visitors. Arthur sets up his tent in the forest, where Guinevere finds him and notices Excalibur is missing, but David assures the couple that they will find it. When a fury kidnaps Robin because of an unpaid price of magic, Regina is hurt while trying to rescue him, leaving Arthur, David, Mary Margaret, and Leroy to chase after the fury. By nighttime, they intervene when the fury summons a keeper of the underworld to take Robin's life, only for the fury to magically stun them. Regina forces the fury to take her life instead, but Mary Margaret refuses to abandon her, linking her hands with her. As the fury begins absorbing them, David, Leroy, and Arthur join the women, causing the fury's power to explode on itself, which pays off the price of magic. ("The Price", "Broken Heart")

Growing distrustful of the Storybrooke folk, particularly after their admission that Emma is the Dark One, Arthur makes secret plans to make the town the new Camelot for his people, while he continues to gain David's trust. As part of the setup, Arthur tells his squire, Grif, to later steal a relic chest. Arthur lies to David about someone taking a magic bean that he and his people need for returning home. They examine the chest that had the bean, in which David asks Grif for any theories about who did it. Without David's notice, Arthur shoots Grif a knowing look, to which the squire talks about the Dark One possibly being culpable. David admits Emma recently stole a dwarf pick ax, though Arthur recalls him saying the Dark One doesn't need weapons, and he then points out the chest has scratch marks on it. At the pawnshop, they question Belle about anyone pawning a magic bean, but she knows of no such person. To improvise, David takes a chalice that has no magic, but he announces to the Camelot group that they must drink from it so the magic bean thief can be found. Soon after, Grif flees on horseback, leading Arthur and David to follow him in a truck. At one point, Arthur must assume control of the wheel, as David maneuvers to the back of the truck to grab a wooden beam. On David's insistence, Arthur drives around in a circle, in order to corner Grif, who David knocks off the horse with the beam. Afterward, Grif "confesses" to stealing the chest, under the pretense of being fed up with how Arthur was treating him, but he doesn't recall there ever being a bean. David privately asks Arthur if he believes Grif is lying, but the latter denies it. David promises to help him find another way home, and then prepares to lock up Grif in a cell, when he and Arthur discover a toadstool that came over from Camelot during the curse. Later, Arthur visits Grif in his cell and convinces him to ingest a fatal viper poison, for Camelot's sake, so the Storybrooke townspeople will never learn the truth. ("Siege Perilous")

When Grif's disappearance is made known to the others, Arthur calmly deducts that his squire must have been lying about not having the magic bean and used it to return to Camelot alone. Guinevere grows concerned with how this development will affect her people's spirits, so the Storybrooke natives decide to throw a town party as a much-needed distraction. As they all leave the sheriff's station together, Belle runs up, reporting that Mr. Gold is missing. Later that night, during a town carnival, Hook and his allies reveal to Arthur, Guinevere, David and Mary Margaret that they searched Emma's house and found Excalibur hidden in her basement. After some questioning by Hook, Arthur confesses to knowing the Dark One's dagger is Excalibur's missing blade, and that if the sword is made whole again by uniting them, the combined weapon can extinguish the darkness, but in Emma's hands, she may use it to snuff out the light. ("Dreamcatcher")

Once the Storybrooke group figure out they can use the crimson crown to communicate with Merlin, they call in Arthur to enact the spell, as only someone who was chosen by the sorcerer can harness the toadstool. Arthur pretends to be helpful and forthcoming, but when it comes time to throw the crimson crown into the prepared cauldron brew, he hesitates, suggesting Merlin might only talk to him if he's alone, as that is how they spoke in the past. After everyone leaves the room, Arthur tosses the toadstool into the burning fire under the cauldron. Outside the vault, he tells them that the spell fizzled out and didn't work. While Arthur believes the toadstool is burned to nothingness, the group later find the charred but still whole crimson crown in the fire's ashes, proving that Arthur is conspiring against them. ("The Bear and the Bow")

As Arthur enjoys a candlelit evening with his wife, David enters to confront him about his attempt to destroy the crimson crown. The spell, however, was successful, giving David reason to question him about Nimue, someone Merlin mentioned who can defeat the Dark One. No one says anything in response, to which Guinevere stands up and signals a look to her husband, and as David continues to wait for an answer, Arthur flips the table and cuts an opening in the tent with his sword to flee on foot. Hook tails him into the woods, where Arthur fakes tripping over a tree trunk, in order to shove Hook to the ground and hold him at sword-point. Before he can finish off the pirate, Emma blocks him with Excalibur, which has since been reforged with the dagger, before flinging him hard against a tree, knocking him out. After Arthur's imprisonment in the sheriff's station, Hook tries to force the truth out of him about what happened in Camelot. When it's clear Arthur doesn't have the answers, David gets Hook to back off, by referring to Arthur as a king without a kingdom who has little importance to them now. ("Birth")

Following the heroes' adventures in the Underworld, Arthur escapes captivity when Merida mistakenly puts Sleepy in charge of watching him. He stumbles across Hades and insists that he was imprisoned falsely. Hades notes that he, too, has been imprisoned falsely before and, like Arthur, also believes he deserves to rule a kingdom; in this case, Storybrooke. He then snaps Arthur's neck, leaving the ex-king's corpse on the bridge, where it is later discovered by Merida, who admits that though she wanted to kill him, she now feels sorry for him. ("Last Rites")

After his death, Arthur lands in the Underworld because of his unfinished business. Having no idea he's dead, he stumbles into Underbrooke's diner, where he learns the truth from Hook. When Arthur admits someone named Hades killed him, Hook requests his help to find Hades' weakness. Arthur consents only after Hook introduces him to the concept of Mount Olympus and the "Worse Place", suggesting that if Arthur does a good deed like helping him, he may move on to Mount Olympus. The pair head to Hades' lair, where Hook explains that they need to look for pages from the Underworld's storybook that contains information about Hades' weakness. Arthur soon realizes that Hook's desperation is due to a woman, and after hearing Hook's full story, he feels sorry for the man. Hook asks him, as a king, where he would hide his most precious treasures, and Arthur states he'd hide it in the one place that no one will touch; the throne. His theory is correct, and the pair takes the pages back to Underbrooke. The men then drop by the diner to interrogate Cruella about the book's location. Cruella, clearly taken by Arthur's good looks, briefly flirts with him. After she reveals the book is in Acheron, Hook and Arthur take a boat ride across the river. During this, Arthur reaches for one of the souls in the river, only for Hook to warn him that touching the water will turn him into a lost soul. Once the boat docks, they see the book in the arms of a gargoyle statue. Hook goes to get it, while Arthur is grabbed by a soul emerging from the river. Arthur urges him to go on instead of helping him, but Hook, unable to abandon the man, burns the soul with a torch. As Hook heads towards the book, another soul snatches it. Arthur kills the soul with fire, but as the soul dissipates, the book nearly falls into the river, but Hook grabs it in time. In the hopes that Emma will receive the message, Hook places the pages about Hades into the book. Awhile later, Hook senses that Hades has been destroyed, and a bright light appears in the nearby doorway, which now leads to Mount Olympus. With Hades' defeat being his unfinished business, Hook suggests that it may be Arthur's as well. Instead of joining Hook, Arthur decides to stay in the Underworld and fix it, as he was once prophesied to repair a broken kingdom. While he believed it to be Camelot at the time, he now realizes that it is the Underworld. As Hook leaves for Mount Olympus, Arthur stays behind to repair the Underworld. ("Last Rites")

Arthur is successful in dethroning Cruella and remains in charge of the Underworld for at least fifty years. ("Tales From The Underworld: A Knight With Cruella")

Production Notes

  • The casting call describes him as "a good and just ruler who, beneath the surface, is a master manipulator who can carry a grudge to the grave, and maybe beyond. He harbors an eternal burning love for Guinevere that can lean toward being a bit... controlling. For this role, Once aims to cast a gent in his mid-30s to early 40s, and again a British accent is mandatory".[1]

Props Notes

  • King Arthur's coat of arms is traditionally depicted as azure (blue) or gules (red) with three or (yellow) crowns (in thirteenth century manuscripts), or azure with thirteen crowns (in later texts).[2] On the show, Arthur's coat of arms is red with a yellow crown surround by four yellow sea-wyverns;[3] however, there also a yellow version with a red crown and red sea-wyverns.[4] A sea-wyvern is legendary creature with a dragon's head and wings, a reptilian body, two legs, and a fish tail. It is the sea-dwelling variant of the creature known as a wyvern. ("The Dark Swan" et al.)

Costume Notes

  • In "The Price", King Arthur's herald incorrectly announces him as "His Royal Highness, King Arthur", and not the proper title of "His Majesty".

Note: "Archive" denotes archive footage.

On tension

Surface tension.  Also known as total serenity.

Surface tension. Also known as total serenity.

I used to be a singer, a habit which has served me well as a parent (and not just for singing pretty songs).  Four nights a week when I was in college, my women’s acapella group would rehearse for two hours, and we’d usually perform at least one other night.  It was a lot of singing and it came from a place of extraordinary joy.  Plus, my abs were things of beauty: firm, sculpted, and in perfect support of my breath, voice, posture.

Shortly after that, I started taking yoga for the first time.  I listened enthusiastically to the suggestions on breathing: “Let the air fill you up!”  I can do that!  “The fullness of your breath grounds you, connecting you to the world around you.”  Yes!  But then: “Let your belly be soft.”  WHAT?  Obviously, I said to myself, these yogi people know nothing about breathing.

Now, nearly twenty years later, I find that I have lived, mostly, in a constant state of suspension between these two ideals: tension (albeit supportive) and softness (albeit chosen, and therefore disciplined).  I suspect this has something to do with the human condition: that we are given certain circumstances and we need both to accept them (softness) and to make something of them (tension).

This is the essence of Saul Alinsky’s principle, that we have to live in the world as it is and work toward the world as it should be.  It is also the essence of productivity: understand where you are that you might move forward (and the kind of non-acceptance that manifests as self-flagellation doesn’t help).  It’s the essence of teaching: start where the students are and go on from there.  And of course it’s the essence of parenting, of love, and creativity: compassion, for ourselves, our kids, our world, must undergird every disciplined effort to build and teach and grow.

All the love is making this dog tense.

All the love is making this dog tense.

We can all agree that breath (and for “breath,” from here on out, read “love,” “openness,” “curiosity,” or “spirit”) fills us up, that it simultaneously grounds us and lets us fly.  The musculature and intentionality that produce such breathing are real and profound: such breathing is our natural state (as in sleep), but in the world of our realities, pretty much everything gets in the way and messes it up.  So between nightmares and day jobs, childcare and health care, commuting and computing, we end up – most days – tangled beyond recognition.  For most of us, it takes a walk in the woods (which we don’t take) or a round of meditation (which we don’t get) to rediscover our core.  When we do, we can begin to parse our lives with a little more clarity.  Without clarity and rest, we tend to experience stress (which might be considered tension with an attitude problem).

But here’s the thing: tension itself is not bad.  Tension is a kind of discipline or structure, and its manifest in both.  There are many ways to good posture, or effective work habits, or appropriate human interaction, and tension is a part of them.  I am reminded of the persistent knee and hip pain I experienced in graduate school that stopped my running habit, and of the excruciating SI joint issues that developed in my first pregnancy and didn’t resolve long after the second.  I had worked out and stretched diligently through the first but learned in the second that rest was the only solution, so by the time I sought expert help I was not the strongest person you know.  I was, however one of the more flexible.  And that turned out to be the problem.  I didn’t have enough tension!

You maybe can't tell, but this is a tension rod holding up our puppet theater.  Tension promotes play.

You maybe can’t tell, but this is a tension rod holding up our puppet theater. Tension promotes play.

Hahahaha, she laughs, only slightly hysterical – two babies under three years old and mounting fiscal pressure that made it important to get more work and find more daycare…but it’s true.  That kind of emotional tension was keeping me from the strength-training that my body needed in order to create the muscular tension that would hold my bones in the right places.  Roughly.  Part of the pain was from too much tension; part of it was from too little.  Sound familiar?

It’s the same logic with our lives: an absence of tension doesn’t mean smooth sailing: it means we aren’t learning or pushing or changing or MAKING change.  Of course it’s delightful when in the midst of complications something goes smoothly (I still remember, as do all women who have delivered a baby vaginally while conscious, that moment of exquisite, whooshing relief when at long last that tiny body fully squeezes out of your own).  The trick to managing tension in the rest of our lives, I’m finding, is that damned balancing act.  We need some tension, but not too much; we need resilience and self-care for when we are overwhelmed by too much tension anyway; we need the right kinds of tension, at the right times and places, to keep us alert and accountable; we need counterbalancing forms of relaxation to remind us of our natural state and to help us recalibrate.  This is to say, we need the sturdy muscles of our singer’s core to give us voice, to help us run.  And we need to know how to release that posture to assume a gentler one for the yoga mat.  We need to relieve that tension through twisting core stretches and maintain it with vigorous exercise.  But what we can’t do, it seems, is sidestep the question entirely.  Which I’ll admit makes me a little grumpy.  Because I like the idea of smooth sailing.  I’ll let you know how that works out for me.

  1. I like the idea of smooth sailing, too, but if that is not to be, your beautiful treatise on tension and release substitutes just as well. I have the tension side down cold. Now to work on the release…

  2. Winston Sims says:

    Maria….Schatten der Vergangenheit…. all part of the tension that goes with becoming.

    Love what you have become, D.

  3. loloslunch says:

    Love this post. I am trying to come to terms with going back to work after 20 weeks of maternity leave. I work from home and have a nanny so I will be in the same space as my daughter, but it feels so hard to make the leap in to being a working mom. It is just so appealing to leave it all behind and stay home, but I don’t think that’s the right answer for me in the long term. The sadness I will face in leaving her that first week in the care of another is that tension you speak of. The stretching, growing, maturing we all have to face in this life. Thanks for the post!

    • annasbartel says:

      Loloslunch, I hear you! I’m pursuing some outside-the-home paid work right now too, and it really is a heart-wrenching thing to imagine being pulled away from your kids. Even though we WANT that pull, too. Very hard stuff. I’m glad you found the post useful! Thanks for writing.

On abundance.

“Here is a summertime truth: abundance is a communal act, the joint creation of an incredibly complex ecology in which each part functions on behalf of the whole and, in return, is sustained by the whole. Community not only creates abundance–community is abundance. If we could learn that equation from the world of nature, the human world might be transformed.”

— Parker Palmer, http://fetzer.org/blog/summers-abundant-community

I am reading this Palmer piece for a small community of professionals at my university, and yet here’s what it brings to mind for me:

On Sunday, my husband and a friend rented a pickup and drove to the city’s woodchip pile. They helped themselves to free woodchips, forked and shoveled them into the tarp-lined truck, and then drove back. First two loads to Jon’s house, to cushion the heads of those who fall from the playset. Second two loads to our house, to lay atop newspapers and cardboard, to smother the weeds that grew up through the last load of woodchips we’d dumped. And through it all: assorted children at our house, neighbors and friends, playing elaborate games with sticks, wheeling a tiny plastic wheelbarrow, climbing Woodchip Mountain, helping carry away the deadwood of the old spirea I saw fit to attack while waiting for the truck.

This, I thought, is abundance in my world: the ready company of children and friends, the shared interest and investment of neighbors, the stewardship of a little piece of land that connects to so many others. Homemade watermelon ice pops. What more could we ask?

You can now download all the wallpapers of the Samsung Galaxy S10

With the Samsung Galaxy S10 just presented, the South Korean firm puts on the table its most ambitious proposal for the high-end of the beginning of the year. A bet on raw hardware, the camera and the design, in an attempt to secure its first position as a manufacturer, and redeem the poor sales results it obtained with the previous generation.

The wallpapers of this new generation 10 have not been long in coming to light, allowing us its direct download in the highest possible quality. Samsung has always stood out for the uniformity in the line of its wallpapers, with striking colors, gradients and a subtle trick to hide the hole in its screen.

Color play festival

The Samsung Galaxy S10 are here to stay for the hardware, and we come to your software. Specifically, their wallpapers have been published in AndroidFileHost, so they can be downloaded for free. Remember download them from the previously linked page, since if you do it from the gallery that we insert below you will lose a lot of quality.

Samsung bets on soft but striking tones for its Samsung Galaxy S10, with a darkening of the upper corner where the screen hole is located. An exercise in order to create an experience –at least on the lockscreen and home– without distractions, which does not make us remember the little “stranger” that our screen has.

The Samsung Galaxy evolve correctly, betting on raw power and design to compete in a voracious market. Pending thorough analysis, we are convinced that the new Galaxy S range will add value to the premium segment, maybe even setting a trend in design for this recent exercise 2019.

Information about King Louis VII the Younger of France

King Louis VII the Younger of France (1120 - 18 September 1180)

Louis VII (called the Younger or the Young; French: Louis le Jeune) was King of the Franks from 1137 until his death. He was the son and successor of King Louis VI of France, hence his nickname, and married Eleanor of Aquitaine, one of the wealthiest and most powerful women in western Europe. Eleanor came with the vast Duchy of Aquitaine as a dowry for Louis, thus temporarily extending the Capetian lands to the Pyrenees, but their marriage was annulled in 1152 after no male heir was produced.

Immediately after the annulment of her marriage, Eleanor married Henry Plantagenet, Duke of Normandy and Count of Anjou, to whom she gave the Aquitaine. When Henry became King of England in 1154, as Henry II, he ruled over a large empire that spanned from Scotland to the Pyrenees. Henry's efforts to preserve and expand on this patrimony for the Crown of England would mark the beginning of the long rivalry between France and England.

Louis VII's reign saw the founding of the University of Paris and the disastrous Second Crusade. Louis and his famous counselor Abbot Suger pushed for a greater centralization of the state and favoured the development French Gothic architecture, notably the construction of Notre-Dame de Paris.

He died in 1180 and was succeeded by his son Philip II.

Our Videos

I’m getting into making short videos of people, places, and things related to Ontario wines, wineries, and food. You can find the early videos on the Ontario Wineries Guide YouTube channel. You’ll find the newer ones — and all future videos — on my channel. So, if you subscribe that channel you’ll get notification when new videos are uploaded.YouTube-logo-full_color

There’s a good variety of videos, including a number where winemakers and others involved in the winery/spirits business talk about some aspect of their work – those are my favourites.

If you don’t mind some background noise (whether it’s wind, or bird bangers, or folks chatting in the background) and a, shall we say, “down home” style – I think you’ll enjoy them. There’s lots of interesting information, for example, a description of unique grapes grown at Oxley Estate, what a green harvest is, and even information about barrel making. So check them out…
