O'Sullivans - The Language School | How to Keep Your English Alive!
10 Top Tips for keeping you English Active!
Maintaining and Increasing your level of English has to form part of your daily routine.
When you get up in the morning, turn on an English language news channel. The idea is to have it as background "music" while you're having your breakfast.
Passive learning is the best. You'll be amazed how your ear gets used to sounds and how after a few weeks you'll be understanding more and more.
Every time you travel by plane or train, buy a magazine such as Time, Newsweek, Cosmopolitan..whatever. We recommend magazines because the articles are short, topical and with lots of photos! In general, magazine articles will hold your attention. Obviously, reading a book is wonderful but it's tough especially when you are tired. How many of you have books gathering dust on your bedside table? Try to catch the general idea.Don't look up every word you don't understand in a dictionary. Only check the new words that are repeated frequently or ones that arouse your curiosity.
Do little mental exercises. Translate ( in your head!) short conversations you have with your work mates. This is a great way to keep the "mechanics" of your grammar alive.
Each week try to watch at least one documentary in English. ( eg. On National Geographic channel).
If you like cinema, try to watch a movie every weekend. As you know, movies are quite challenging. This is because you don't hear the international English you are more familiar with. You hear native speakers talking to other native speakers and usually with lots of slang. Even though it's difficult, try to watch without subtitles. Obviously, occasionally you may need to rewind some sections to check understanding, using the subtitle option.
Don't expect to understand everything. Aim for 15%. Then bit by bit increase this. Listening is improved through listening practice. After a few weeks you'll be surprised to discover that you are understanding more and more.
Sign up for every training course that your company offers that is in English. Maybe it's a course on team-management, IT, time-management, presentation skills….whatever the subject matter is. Even if you know the subject well, go along. It's a great way to practise your English. Training and workshops offer lots of speaking and listening opportunities. Also there is usually quite a significant social dimension ( coffee-breaks, meals etc.) where you'll get a chance to meet and network with your international colleagues in a less pressurised environment.
Use English every opportunity you can. Don't try to avoid situations where you might need it. Language learning is like sport – the more you practise, the more you improve.
Use some of the web links indicated below. Some such as the BBC one are very complete with listening exercises, grammar lessons, reading activities and vocabulary sections. Others are just for Fun.
good for warmers and fillers…. funnylessons has good and extremely bad jokes!
there for posterity as one of the oldest efl websites!


It is common for a supplier of goods and services to a local council to include in their standard T&Cs, not only a monetary cap on their liability, but also an 'exclusion of consequential loss' clause. This is not surprising because the economic loss that a local council can suffer, from a breach of contract or negligence, can be significant and will often dwarf the value of the goods or services supplied.
Because they are so common, a lot of procurement teams don't think twice about them and often accept them as a 'standard' clause.
However, the phrase 'consequential loss' has no well-defined meaning, and is often misunderstood by business people. The use of the phrase 'consequential loss' in a contract can often lead to unexpected consequences, sometimes leaving a supplier with no liability at all.
which were reasonable in the contemplation of both parties, at the time they made the contract, as the probable result of the breach of it.
Until recently it was thought that 'consequential loss' was equated with paragraph 2 above – ie 'consequential loss' was considered to be loss which did not arise naturally from a breach of the contract, but which the parties reasonably knew when they contracted would be the probable result of a breach.
As a result, most business people equate consequential loss with loss of profits or loss of revenue. However, a series of Australian cases has clouded that traditional line of thinking.
In the most recent decisions on this topic in Australia, the Courts have held that the phrase 'consequential loss' should be interpreted in accordance with its natural and ordinary meaning, in light of the contract as a whole. This means 'consequential loss' could include all loss and damage suffered as a consequence of a breach of contract.
The key lesson from recent Australian cases is that if a loss is going to be excluded, it is not sufficient to merely state 'consequential losses are excluded'. The categories of loss being excluded now need to be expressly defined. It is necessary to be specific about the types of loss that are not recoverable and to avoid using broad catch-all expressions.
Common types of loss include: loss of actual or anticipated profits; loss of revenue; loss of savings; loss of production; loss of business; loss of opportunity; loss of access to markets; loss of goodwill; loss of reputation; loss of credit; loss of publicity; loss of data; loss of use and loss arising from business interruption.
Local councils and their procurement teams should carefully review supplier T&Cs, and alarm bells should ring when suppliers attempt to exclude 'consequential loss'.
Any exclusion of liability agreed by the local council should clearly indicate what types of loss are not recoverable. Broad catch-all expressions like 'indirect loss' and 'consequential loss' should be avoided. Instead, phrases like 'loss of profit' or 'loss of opportunity' should be used instead (where appropriate).
If not, a local council may unwittingly accept a clause that excludes a supplier's liability for all loss suffered by the local council.

The Nike Air Force 1 has been through many colorways and designs, but none like this. The Nike Air Force 1 Downtown Hi takes on an all "Gum" facade covering the entire sneaker. In the past, we've really only seen sneakers have Gum bottoms, but it looks like Nike is going to try something new. The sneaker comes equipped with Black laces that match the bottom lining of the sole. There has been no word on when they will be released. What do you think of the Nike Air Force 1's new look?

Thursday Hub Buys a New Encryption Program
By Matt Hinton Jan 24, 2008, 9:10am EST
Share All sharing options for: Thursday Hub Buys a New Encryption Program
• Long, Slow Descent Into Madness. What does Dennis Franchione's infamous Web impropriety have to do with Rich Rodriguez's acrimonous departure for Michigan? It caused West Virginia officials to drag their feet on implementing a similar revenue-generating site for Rodriguez, one of the many promises the coach felt went unfulfilled by the WVU athletic department almost a year after he spurned the Alabama job, and just one more link in the lengthy chain of inter-department disputes between Rodriguez and agent Mike Brown and A.D. Ed Pastilong that drove Rod into the arms of Michigan last month, according to a report by the Associated Press that relies heavily on a series of e-mails obtained through the Freedom of Information Act.
Rod was really out and about with his new friends last year.
Most of the e-mails are between a member of the department and Brown, who beginning in August expressed his displeasure with the "interference" of Gov. Joe Manchin (a friend of Pastilong's), the departure of Pastilong deputy Whit Babcock to Missouri after Rodriguez had been promised a greater role in the department for Babcock (which Brown blamed on Pastilong), control of a fundraising program Rodriguez started in 2001 to secure private air travel and the hundreds of thousands of dollars therein, the immediate public release of Rodriguez's new contract without making reporters jump through time-consuming FOIA hoops, etc. Brown began mentioning other jobs on Nov. 14, a month before the Toledo meeting with Michigan hit the news:
"Why is this important? There is a projected opening at Texas A&M this year and Florida State next year. Rich's name is being mentioned heavily.
"If presented with any of those opportunities, I believe Rich would have to weigh heavily the progress made in those issues he raised this summer and of revenue stream initiatives; ... I am hearing Texas A&M is going to increase the assistant coach's budget to $2.6M with coordinators making 300k and assistants 250k."
Michigan, for all its fumbling through the first month of its increasingly doomed-looking search, was apparently a "right time" option - "right place" is yet to be determined, although the Wolverines obviously are nobody's rebound (unlike, say, Bill Stewart, who at least will love West Virginia with all his heart and stand by it forever) - as the match made in Mountaineer heaven fell apart behind the scenes. Not mentioned is the devastating loss to Pitt, which can't be blamed in any way on political bickering but can be viewed as the last straw - without a mythical championship at stake, what else did Rod have to stay for?
There are signs sentiments are beginning to shift in West Virginia: from "Rodriguez's selfish acts may be his downfall" to Whole sordid affair makes WVU look bad" in less than a week. At least they're finding a creative outlet for their pain:
Coming and Going.
• Digging up obscure stories from, like, a month ago, The Wiz has the latest on Florida's looming mini-scandal over the recruitment of Carl Moore and his gymnast girlfriend. Sample quote: "Carl!, I just won the Heisman! Come on down here, and let's win a national championship!"
• New, spread-oriented Auburn offensive coordinator Tony Franklin visited coveted running back prospect Enrique Davis Wednesday night to convince him the carries will be there in the new scheme after Davis de-committed from Auburn last week. If it's carries he wants, Davis probably has more to fear from competition than Franklin's scheme - Ben Tate, Brad Lester, Mario Fannin and possibly Tristan Davis will start the fall in front of Enrique no matter what they're running.
• Early enrollee Reid McCollum, who threw nine touchdown passes in one game in November, has left South Carolina less than two weeks after starting classes, but the quarterback says he'll be backat USC for summer workouts. Cue your best Spurrier twang: "Reid got homesick and basically thought he'd made a mistake coming in early. He's going to go back and hang out in Summerville a while, and come in with the other freshmen." Yeah, just gotalittlehomesick there.
• Outgoing Michigan safety Jamar Adams told the Detroit Free Press "beating Florida was like winning the national championship or something." Really, I only include that as an excuse to pull this picture of Adams against Owen "Runaway Beer Truck" Schmitt in Senior Bowl practice (in shorts, mind you):
First Rod, now the myth of Owen Schmitt's mohawked Herculeanity? Hasn't Michigan taken enough from these people?
Elsewhere in the Free Press, Terrelle Pryor may be likely to commit to Ohio State, but you know how else you know he's so great? Western Pennsylvania roots. That shit runs deep, yo: "Dan Marino, Joe Montana, Johnny Unitas, Joe Namath, George Blanda and Jim Kelly earned Pittsburgh and its environs the nickname the Cradle of Quarterbacks." Hey, what about Dan Kendra? As always, the giants of the leg press get short shrift by the MSM.
Also: that is the slowest collection of quarterbacks that could have possibly emerged from any single region, and Pryor isn't about to be Dan Marino from the pocket. Just saying. Maybe big-armed talent was outsourced like everything else in the Rust Belt. (To where? Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas. Look it up).
• It's never too early: Southern Cal secured a commitment Wednesday from quarterback Matt Barkley, the first junior to win Gatorade's player of the year nationally, a big (6-3, 220) kid from that other latter-day quarterback machine, Mater Dei High, one-time home of Matt Leinart, his backup Colt Brennan and old school Heisman winner John Huarte. Barkley visited UCLA after the Bruins hired Norm Chow but stayed "on course" - he's only a little over a year now from inking his official letter of intent with the Trojans. Where's your sense of drama, Matt?
• Rumor rumor rumor: Jon Tenuta, he of the sack-happy zone blitz mania at Georgia Tech, could be hours from signing on with Washington as Ty Willingham's new defensive guru. An aggressive Tenuta defense opposite a certain-to-be-improved offense (as long as Tebow-esque Jake Locker continues - that is, begins – maturing as a passer) must equal a bowl bid, or very close, or else for Willingham; he's 11-25 in three years.

Siemens launches Building X, an open AI-enabled suite for net zero buildings – Marketscreener.com
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has launched Building X, a new smart building suite that is open, interoperable and fully cloud-based. The suite is the first next generation offering built on the design principles of Siemens Xcelerator, an open digital business platform launched today to accelerate digital transformation and value creation across industry, transportation, grids and buildings.
Building X Energy Manager
Building X addresses the challenges of various stakeholders, including building users, property investors, real estate companies and facility managers. It acts as a single source of truth to eliminate complexity and supports net zero targets. Stakeholders can now digitize and use their building data from various sources, disciplines and systems on one single platform, Building X.

The suite offers modular, AI-enabled applications, and built-in cyber security. It also facilitates co-creation with customers and partners to address their challenges faster, thanks to the openness and cloud technology, which means digital transformation can be achieved easier, faster and at scale.
'Building X is the antidote to data silos. We can now connect all data that smart building systems generate in one single data lake, scaling up smart buildings faster and moving closer to our vision of autonomous, net zero buildings. Building X creates data-based outcomes for greater efficiency, performance and experience, changing for the better the way we work and live in buildings,' said Matthias Rebellius, managing board member of Siemens AG and CEO of Smart Infrastructure. 'We look forward to co-creating use cases with our customers and partners on Building X to accelerate innovation and sustainability in the industry.'
The Building X suite currently features a set of applications and digital services, tailored to different stakeholder groups, all connected on the AI-enabled platform. Building X opens new possibilities to digitalize, manage, and optimize building operations, bringing value to both existing buildings and new ones.
Its applications cover key domains of building management, including energy, security and building operations, backed by strong analytics capabilities. The applications offer a consistent user experience, where relevant data is intelligently combined to drive outcomes for customers.
A true digital building operations twin
Building X combines the real and digital worlds of buildings by consolidating data from multiple sources into a digital building operations twin. With a virtual representation of a building, building operators can resolve issues faster. Users benefit from the transparency Building X provides in their efforts to make their buildings more sustainable, achieve better building performance and optimize user experience – all resulting in higher business outcomes.
SI Building X infographic
A growing set of applications
The Building X applications are designed to be modular and persona-based, providing the right data to the right people. In addition to co-creation possibilities, users can choose from multiple ready-made applications. This makes the single 'pane of glass' concept user and workflow-driven, while still allowing dashboards and data insights to be customized according to each user's needs. As of now, the offering embraces four applications, with more to be added to the platform over time:
The Energy Manager tracks energy consumption, costs and CO2 footprint of a building or building fleet and enables early corrective actions if necessary. It forecasts energy consumption based on historical data, and supports users in tracking their sustainability goals, helping them reach net zero buildings.
The Operations Manager operates and monitors building equipment and applications in real-time. It can monitor a fleet of sites from one single point and ensures fast issue-response while reducing downtimes. Users benefit from increased business continuity and improved reaction times.
The Security Manager operates and maintains security systems with unified and automated workflows. It centrally manages daily security operations and incidents across all systems.
The 360-degree Viewer App represents a location as a virtual 3D environment, allowing for indoor navigation for insights into equipment topology and installation.
SaaS and driving outcomes with building services
Building X is offered as a SaaS (software-as-a-service) model, on a subscription basis. Thanks to the SaaS model, building stakeholders can access software off the shelf, ensuring they always have access to the latest functionality and find upgrades during the building lifecycle to meet their changing needs.
Aside from the SaaS model, customers can also opt for an end-to-end program of Siemens Xcelerator Building Services, which will be enabled by Building X. This allows them to rely on Siemens to achieve their targets. In this model, Siemens leverages a combination of its technology, paired with the expertise of its digital building professionals. The programs are customized to achieve pre-defined outcomes, such as reducing operating and energy costs, optimizing asset performance for uptime and productivity, meeting regulatory requirements, or enhancing the occupant experience.
Siemens Xcelerator is an open digital business platform comprising a curated portfolio of IoT-enabled hardware and software, a growing partner ecosystem and evolving marketplace to accelerate digital transformation.

Sporting Accidents
Even the most skilled Individual can sometimes injure themselves when taking part in their favourite sport – which is why being insured is so important.
Analysing our internal data we can reveal the sports which are the most injury prone and the sports which have the biggest claims…
Which sports are the most injury prone?
Certain sports will have more risks than others, but which are the most injury prone?
From analysing the number of injury claims per sport type, we can reveal that rugby players have the most accidents as 23.62% of injury claims are for this sport. This is no surprise as rugby doesn't include pads or headgear, which increases the probability of an injury occurring given it's a high contact sport.
Another injury-prone sport is mountain biking, as 15% of claims are for downhill or regular mountain biking. Reports have shown that mountain biking is on the rise, with the market expected to grow 10% between 2020 to 2027. Potential mountain bikers will need to be prepared as riding off-road over varying trails and surface conditions at high speeds can lead to serious injury.
Cycling is the third most likely sport for participants to be injured with nearly 1 in 10 claims being for a cycling injury. There are many reasons why a cyclist can unfortunately fall and have an accident, for instance, unlevel roads and slick surfaces.
Which sports have the biggest insurance claims?
When taking part in sports, the participant should always evaluate the risk of becoming injured. However, even the most careful sportsperson can't always avoid accidents. Being injured can cause many financial burdens, which can be helped by being insured. So you can take part in your favourite activity with peace of mind.
The sport which has the average largest claim is mountain biking, which totals £3,427. Mountain biking and downhill mountain biking has many variables that can lead to risks of injury such as the terrain, weather and faulty equipment.
General biking has an average claim of £1,951. Similarly to mountain biking, injuries can include broken bones and deep cuts. Some top claims include medical bills, loss of earnings and equipment replacement.
In third place is rugby, which has an average claim of £1,841. Rugby is a very physical sport, and players have only a mouthguard as protection! However, there are possible health benefits which include a reduced risk of type-2 diabetes and even depression. Despite these benefits, there are also many injury risks which can even leave rugby players out of work.
Which countries have the highest total sports travel injury insurance claims?
Sport travel is a fantastic way to explore the world and meet new people, whilst taking part in the sports you love most. When analysing the internal data for sports travel claims we can reveal the countries which have the highest total of claims for injuries.
The USA has the highest total of claims at £106,409. It's no surprise the US has the highest total of injury claims, with medical costs contributing the most. In the U.S. the average cost of an ER visit can set you back $2,168 with the cost of an X-Ray ranging from $150 to an eye watering $3,000
Canada has the 2nd highest claims at £88,049. In third place is France with a total of £81,406 injury claims.
Why is it important to have sports travel insurance?
We believe in the necessity of sports travel insurance, particularly in sports where the risk of injury is considerably higher so you can truly enjoy the sport you are taking part in.
Many standard holiday insurance policies won't cover sports, so without specific sports travel insurance you may also face huge medical bills if you become injured. Whether at home or abroad, make sure you are not vulnerable to the financial repercussions of the injury.
To uncover which sports were the most injury prone, we used internal SportsCover Direct claims data for the number of sports which had claimed for accidents and ranked these from the most accident claims to least.
The biggest claims were calculated by looking at the sum of claims for each sport and then dividing it by the number of claims the sport had received to work out the average sum per claim. The sports with the highest sums were revealed as the biggest claims. Sports with only one claim were removed from the data to avoid anomalies.
To reveal which countries have the highest total of claims we looked at the sum of injury claims for sports travel insurance for each country.


Stage Pianos are purpose-built for use in live performance environment. Although they have a smaller amount of built-in sounds than synths or workstations, most stage pianos have a very high standard of piano, string section and organ sounds, making them a great choice for gigging artists. PMT Online has a fantastic selection of stage pianos for sale including brands such as Nord, Yamaha, Roland, Korg and the up-and-coming ROLI. All items in stock are eligible for FREE Next Day Delivery.
Stage pianos will often have a weighted key bed and 88 keys. They are built more robustly than their synthesizer counterparts, in order to handle the rigors of transportation and touring. Even though synths may offer more sounds, nothing beats a good digital piano as the primary choice for players who just want the best piano and vintage organ sounds, and that's why today at most gigs worldwide we see stage pianos replacing traditional upright and electric pianos, Hammond and Farfisa organs.
At the PMT piano shop we stock the very latest models from all of today's leading brands. We recommend checking out the new Yamaha CP range currently used by Jamie Cullum, the excellent Roland RD series or the entry Korg SP models. ROLI's innovative Seaboard GRAND has been turning some heads, too.
Home Pianos are not the best choice if you plan to gig, as they are not purpose-built for the rigours of touring. If you're a gigging musician looking for the best possible piano and organ sounds for performance, we strongly recommend you to choose a stage piano.
On the other hand, nothing stops you from buying a stage piano to play at home, but in terms of looks and convenience, you'll probably be happier if you choose a home piano instead. If you have any questions or is uncertain as to what's the best digital piano for you, please get in touch or visit your local PMT Piano Shop, where product experts at our piano shops will be glad to help!
In addition to all this, our PMT stores in Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham and Bristol are official Roland Planet stores, with dedicated areas featuring a huge selection of Roland pianos and keyboards you can try, so come pay us a visit today!


The Memorial will centre around a full size replica Spitfire aircraft sited in a WW2 blast pen. It will feature the Battle of Britain Roll of Honour and will complement the National Memorial in London and the Southern Memorial at Capel Le Ferne. There is no Memorial in the North of England. The Memorial will not only commemorate the men and women of the RAF who came from every town and village in the country but also those pilots and ground crew who throughout the war came from across the United States, Europe, Poland, France, Czechoslovakia, Belgium, Ireland as well as the Commonwealth, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Barbados, Jamaica, Canada, Australia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and New Zealand The Spitfire is an iconic symbol and it will focus attention on how crucial the Battle of Britain was in the history of the western world. It will inspire young and old alike to enquire and discover how a small group of people defended our islands and went on to help free the western world.
The full size Spitfire will provide a three dimensional experience of one of the most iconic elements of the battle.
In 2020 we celebrate the 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain and by then the participants will be very few in number. Their legacy is one of the greatest achievements in the history of not only Britain but the world. They were a group of young people who were vastly outnumbered and under resourced but their courage and tenacity has become legendary. With their iconic Spitfire and Hurricane aeroplanes their story resonates with young and old alike and it features not just the British but men and women from around the world who came to help defend our freedom. When the eye witnesses are no longer here to tell their story the Northern Battle of Britain Memorial will become a focus for remembrance, a tourist destination and a place of pilgrimage where young and old can come together to be inspired, to learn and to pay homage. This opportunity exists at two sites in the south of the country but the Battle was a national effort. The Northern Memorial will recognise this.
Build the replica Spitfire aircraft that will be the focus of the Memorial.
Launch the education programme designed to educate, inform and entertain visitors both in person and online.
The Memorial will be a significant part of the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire aviation trail attracting visitors who will contribute to the local economy. There will be a need for interpretation facilities that will increase the opportunities for volunteers and potentially create jobs. The memorial will recognise the Battle of Britain as a significant part of our national heritage. It will also draw attention to the role played by men and women from our overseas allies many of which remained in this country after the war. Through focusing on this role we hope to inform and educate the wider community about the contribution made by their ancestors. We hope to promote community cohesion by recognising the multi racial nature of the participants who came together during World War Two. Although its primary role is remembrance the Memorial will be a significant visitor attraction promoting learning and activity across the generations.
This project is enabled for overfunding. If the project hits its funding goal before the end of the campaign period, any extra funds raised will be spent (in order of priority) on: Extra funds would be used to enhance the site with information panels, the Roll of Honour, famous participants in the Battle etc.
Project Delivery Manager: Northern Battle of Britain Memorial The Project Delivery Manager takes legal responsibility for receiving and spending the funds raised and ensuring the project is delivered.


On Saturday 29th October 2016, we enjoyed catering again for the Ward End Cons Bowling Club's end of season award ceremony, which was held at Maitland Hall, 550 Washwood Heath Road, Ward End, Birmingham B8 2HF.
The award ceremony with seventy one guests attending was organised by Adam Weaver, who with his event organising team decided on one of our three course carvery menus.
A selection of three freshly made starters, followed by a delicious carvery, and finishing the meal was a choice of three of our yummy desserts.
The award ceremony was enjoyed by everyone who attended, and we received a lot of great feedback form the guests. We look forward to catering at next year's end of season bowling award ceremony.

Because of the wide range of clinical indications for Librium, the optimum dosage varies with the diagnosis and response of the individual patient. The dosage, therefore, should be individualized for maximum beneficial effects.
Preoperative Apprehension and Anxiety: On days preceding surgery, 5 to 10 mg orally, 3 or 4 times daily. If used as preoperative medication, 50 to 100 mg IM* 1 hour prior to surgery.
For the relief of withdrawal symptoms of acute alcoholism, the parenteral form* is usually used initially. If the drug is administered orally, the suggested initial dose is 50 to 100 mg, to be followed by repeated doses as needed until agitation is controlled – up to 300 mg per day. Dosage should then be reduced to maintenance levels.
*See package insert for Injectable Librium (chlordiazepoxide HCl).

So, what does /x/ think about the legends of the Holy Grail? Do you believe it's been found? Do you believe that it's in Cambodia, as the priests of a certain temple claim? Do you believe it exists at all?
The ark of the covenant is in Ethiopia.
Anyway, I believe it's just symbolic. A myth, not a physical object or a blood line or whatever. Watch The Fisher king.
no ,and even if jesus was real and it did exist, why would it matter.
Of course the Holy Grail exists...haven't you seen Indiana Jones?
>> The Unfulfiller !!nA1z0Vw5MLi
I bet it's just a crappy cup.
OP here. The hell, brain. Mixing my holy symbols apparently.
Never heard of it, but I'll look it up.
Curiosity. If there was a cup that gave you eternal life, wouldn't you want to know where it was, just in case?
Where do you think my pic is from?
Quite possible, and more probable than other theories.
and the only paranormal thing about it is that it's maybe ageless?
OP again. Older stuff than it has been found.
I'm torn between saying it's made of wood and saying it's made of clay. One would assume that clay would have been used more frequently. If it's found and still in perfect condition, I'll be convinced.
The legend of the Holy Grail is older that that of Jesus. It was around before the time where they say Jesus lived.
Check the story of Melchisedek. "bringing forth bread and wine, for he was the priest of the most high God, blessed him"
Rituals with bread and wine are way older that the Last Supper.
The spear of destiny exists. It's not impossible that the holy grail exists, therefore yea.. but cambodia having it? I'm a bit sceptic about that part.
OP here. As I stated above, I was mixing my religious artifacts. Ignore the Cambodia thing.
I was talking of the specific incarnation of the Grail that Knights went out in search of (the one that supposedly caught the blood of Christ), not just a grail that might do the same thing. Also, that excerpt says to me that the rites were there, but there was no single cup.
Read the myth of Perceval or Parsifal. The legend is European, not even Jewish. It was taken from Pagan Mythology and incorporated into Christian Mythology.
I am not searching for documentation right now, cause I am on my way out the door.
I mentioned Melchisedek as an example of this. That Christian Mythology is based on pre existent myths.
ITS IN PETRA
>>If there was a cup that gave you eternal life, wouldn't you want to know where it was, just in case?
Why would a cup that Jesus supposedly drank from give you eternal life?
also, Christians believe that they will gain eternal life in heaven with Jesus + pals, not in this fuckload of ass this world is. why would anyone want that, anyway?
My theory is that it's not the cup, but the acid that Jesus dropped in the wine, that gave the feeling of eternity to people who drank it.
The idea that this world is a fuckload of ass is a very Christian idea.
and this is news to whom?
mm, jesus backwash.

SCP-XXX, also known as the Holy Grail, is currently being kept under strictest surveillance in Site 62. Any attempts to extricate the object from Site 62 will be resisted by any and all means necessary. This is all you need to know.
To Christians. They believe it's true, not just their belief.
ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dukkha
The Holy Grail is a symbol.
http://www.searchforthegrail.com/
As a Christfag: the "holy grail" existed, if what you mean by that is the cup that Jesus drank from during the last supper. But it almost certainly wasn't used to catch his blood (except, as he said at supper, symbolically), it didn't have any special properties, and it's most likely long destroyed.
That's what I said, but nobody listen to reason, here.
It represents the Self, the quest for the grail represents the quest for wholeness.
GAIZ I KNOW WHAT THE GRAIL IS, I FOUND TEH CODEX!11 OMG RTHERES AN ALBINO AFTER ME
As a fellow Christfag, I must concur, this gentleman has it right. Nowhere in Scripture is there any significance attributed to the cup Christ drank from, it was the symbolic "flesh of my flesh and blood of my blood" (semi symbolic, anyway... depending on your theological leanings) that mattered. The cup is irrelevant, but as usual Western Religions want an ICON, not just an idea. The myth of the grail arose from Arthurian legend, so if you think King Arthur and Camelot really existed (they didn't, if you didn't know that...) you are welcome to go on thinking a piece of wood from 2,000 years ago is still around, healin' dem lazors. If people want to look for anything, it should be the Lance of Longinus, it really -was- covered in the Blood.
Only the purest can ever find the Holy Grail. And when you find it you DIE. That's what happened to Galahad.
It is more likely that King Arthur existed than the bullshit in the bible being true
gaiz, you just got mentally pwned by a CHRISTIAN. if you can't be intelligently skeptical without his help, you're fucked.
I'm not here to preach, but in the unlikely event that you're at all interested in having incorrect assumptions changed, I will inform you briefly that:
*Absolute proof that a universal flood occurred has been found in a layer of moisture between several of earth's tectonic plates
*Carbon dating proves that everyone in the vicinity of the historical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were killed at the same time
*There are over 135 prophecies in the Old Testament making predictions about the life and manner of death of the Messiah up to 2,000 years BEFORE the birth of Christ, and Jesus Christ of Nazareth fulfills every one of them. Due to the detail of some and general exclusivity of them, the odds of this happening are astronomical to the point that they are believed to be scientifically impossible.
*There is more historical, archeological, as well as (slightly less important) recorded eyewitness testimony to the existence and life of Christ than Julius Caesar
Just give it some thought friend, look stuff up before you spew =)
Lance of Longinus is another myth.
Cross is another myth. The word for it is Stauros, and it was a stake, if anything Jesus might have been impaled for all I know. Romans didn't crucify people, they hung them at stakes and left then to die. Nails, spears and soldiers playing dice over Jesus robe... it's all Myth.
Christians use the cross because it's an Ancient solar symbol. I represents the *path* of the sun during the year. Marked in four points by two solstices and two equinoxes.
You can find proof of anything, if you dig deep enough.
It's considerably, CONSIDERABLY more likely that Jesus was crucified on a different kind of cross, one that looks more like a capital T than a lowercase t. This kind of cross was more useful because instead of hoisting the whole cross up, using a lot of energy/manpower, you could just raise the top bar into place and it would slide in. Easy and simple.
The Romans used the capital T almost exclusively.
WOW congratulations you saw Zeitgeist too!
Oh my, I see you didn't sniff through the bullshit though... Oh well hey, you'll get there! Thanks for your thoughts. Or someone else's thoughts anyway.
Haha also, don't get me started on the Cross. Not only do I agree with you, but frankly regardless of which type it was, the Greek X, the Roman T or the "Buddy Jesus" t, modern Christians are, as I said, too hung up on symbols and worship them more than Christ Himself. As I was saying before, the bulk of human beings prefer Icons over Ideas.
There is an Arthur figure in British history. He wasn't named "Arthur" but he held shit together in Britain against the Saxon invaders in the 5th century when the whole area was going to pot. At least 4 or 5 other kings (even a couple Romans) had details of their lives thrown in to make the story more interesting, but the main figure is generally thought to be a guy named Riothamus or Artorious. Nobody will agree 100% on this, but eh...take it or leave it.
Well, true. I watched Zeitgeist during my stay in a Monastery in North Italy, on the 11th century. I even did some drawing based on the movie, and then, donate to the National Library in Paris.
Oog speak good. Grammer number 1 subject!
You can tell a Christian for his lack of arguments.
You're an cockholster for immediately assuming I'm part of a religion because I laughed at a guy who writes like a 3rd grader. Fuckin Gypsie.
Insults don't validate your opinion.
Hahah don't worry about this guy, he probably assumes you were me (the Christfag). It's highly likely he hasn't yet grasped the advanced concept of "Anon"; he may even believe this entire thread is a conversation between two distinct people.
He'll make OT8 someday.
So, we should consider these four points written by anonymous in 4chan to be some sort of proof?
I'll laugh in your general direction. Ha.
That's fair. My point was just to say, it merits investigation. You don't have to take my word for it but if you look into empirical proofs for Biblical "stories" you may be surprised what you find. I don't expect you to go "OH NOES QWUT HAV I BEEN DOIN W/MY LIFE" just because some jackass you don't know put 4 things behind a * and said it was true. If I came to my faith on something that tenuous I would have probably been swayed by the Zeitgeist bullshit along with everything else on /x/, haha so your skepticism is both warranted and appreciated. =)
Occam's razor incoming.
*If there was universal flood, it doesn't mean god did it. It could have been a variety of things, such as ice caps melting. Also the story of Noah is almost a carbon copy of a much earlier Babylonian myth.
* It could have been a plague, barbarian horde, invasion, etc. The makers of the Old Testament obviously noticed that these cities where gone and attributed it to God.
*The scrolls that make up the old testament did exist before that time, but the bible was made much later by the Catholic church. They could easily have inserted the prophecies to legitimize their religion. The book of revelations was inserted this way, by the man who had been forced into exile to assemble and write the bible, as his revenge against the catholics.
*Yes he existed, but there is no proof that he was more than a man with a nice philosophy.
Just showing that there are people here who look up this shit.
1. The cup used by Jesus in the Last Supper is much much much much less important compared to the Last Supper itself. So, while the cup itself did exist, there's a very small possibility that it still exists today. Jesus wouldn't have used a golden cup, therefore the cup would've been made of clay or wood, and it wouldn't last for 2000 years.
2. Why would someone took Jesus' blood in a cup? What was the point? I thought they would be busy thinking on where to put His body before Sabbath.
If you look at the painting of the Last Supper, everyone has a cup. Even though this is painted YEARS after the death of Christ, DaVinci was a hard core Christ Fag. So he knew what he was doing.
clearly some sexual fetish involving blood.
Hey guys... here's a bomb for your collective laps:
YOU'RE TAKING IT TOO LITERALLY.
The holy grail isn't a real cup somewhere. It is symbolic.
That is all, you can go back to sleep now.
This is /x/, most of the people here can't help but take things literally. Kind of ironic for a paranormal board
>> Anomynous
There is no Jesus. Therefore, there is no cup that Jesus drank out of at the Last Supper which never occurred.
why the hell would it be in Cambodia?
It's a holiday in cambodia~!
It's tough kid but it's life
The fantasy of cumming in that cup... it helps me get off every night
>> Thammuz
Even if it existed, and it probably did, you have to remember it probably was a cheap wooden cup, it probably decomposed by now
The Grail is probably like every other religious artifact: real or based on reality but without the mysticism.
>remember it probably was a cheap wooden cup
It was a cheap wooden MAGIC cup. So no decomposing there
Thank you for actually looking things up my friend.
You're right about the flood and I'll even grant you're right on all points (except Sodom and Gomorrah, it's unlikely that Barbarian hordes would've killed every person there at the same time without the use of any weapons whatsoever; there was not the slightest hint of battle or even death by trauma/bleeding on any of the bodies), but that's where Faith comes in. If there were 100% verifiable absolute proof, then nothing would be required of us, God would be as mundane as the presence of the moon or the sky's color. For something to have meaning, it must require effort, self sacrifice, and I believe that this is the reason God doesn't just show up and go "It's me, Jesus, lol"; that would rob of us of our own choice, our own effort, our own faith. There's also nothing saying God didn't work within the natural order he created here on earth. The 10 plagues of Egypt for instance were recorded in Egyptian, Hebrew, and I believe even Phoenecian records (I won't pretend I'm -certain- about the Phoenecian, which I'm also probably misspelling) and even if it was red clay dumping into the Nile, turning it to "the color of blood," which drove out frogs which caused an increase in insect population etc. etc. etc., that doesn't account for the timing. How could all those things have been happening at the same time Moses was confronting the Pharoh about the enslavement of the Israelites? God doesn't always utterly circumvent the natural order He created, sometimes He works within it but with miraculous timing.
now thats interesting... the spear of destiny i would much like to know more
then fucking google it, bitch. stop bogging my internets.
the holy grail is really located in Dubbo Australia cunts !!!!!
its a tupperware tumbler !
WHITE WHALE HOLY GRAIL
Sodom and Gomorrah where destroyed by an earthquake combined with unstable ground around the lake which meant they 'sank' into the sandy wet soil they where built on.
Grail legends don't appear till 800-1200 years after the crucifixtion supposedly took place, and they first appear in western europe, specifically france and england, moving one way or the other following the norman conquest. It seems an odd story to be from Christian sources, and so like the Lance of Longinus is likely a Christian modification of an older regional pagan legend.
The holy grail is the genetic map. The human body has always been refered to as a vessel or container. Genetic perfection = An agless life of flawless physical health.
So I heard you were looking for me?
Were talking about the Holy Grail not if Jesus got it on or not...
Since there is no evidence of Jesus' existence, the existence of a drinking cup belonging to him is doubtful
>no evidence of Jesus' existence
You mean asides from that whole "Roman records of his execution" thing, right?
got a source for that?
There was an actual Jesus... no one can say he was God's son but he was still existant. There is just too many references to him in various scriptures....
Did /x/ get off topic again?
Pic is 100% accurate.
Why are you on a paranormal board if all you want to do is dismiss the paranormal? Maybe there should be a /na/ for naturalists.
Give me a few minutes to find a source that isn't all Jesus-freaky, or that starts with "wiki".
Let's start with this:
http://sonic.net/sentinel/naij3.html
I lol'd
There isn't any evidence of ancient Greece existence either.
*Which* legend of the Holy Grail? The one about it being carved from the crown of Lucifer? The one about it being brough to England by Joseph? The one about the holy bloodline? The one by Wolfram von Esenbach? The one nazis believed?...
OP here. I thought this thread died.
You all make some good points. Reading over the thread fully before I reply.
Arthur did exist, just not as the stories say, if I remember right he was like a "general".
RAAAAAAAAAGE
As for Jesus's existence; check his wiki's citations. It's broadly accepted by the scholarly (not restricted to theologic) community that Jesus existed.
Thanks. I concede that there is some historical evidence of Jesus' existence, independent of scripture. But what about his magic cup?
What's wrong with looking for evidence of paranormal phenomena?
THEIR TREASURE WAS KNOWLEDGE!
Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God. The argument goes something like this:
"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves that you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. Q.E.D."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.
>> Frightened Individual !IAd1rUKHuQ
there were probably messiahs just about every other day
....this ones cult just happened to survive longer
actually that's a semi truth. Only 4 of the 80 ish historians of that region/time period. If there was a jesus he was probably not the biblical jesus, or even a jesus who was near as big. That is what alot of scholars believe
I believe it's located in Louvre because I read it somewhere.

Columbia Pictures Original U.S. One-Sheet Poster (27x41) for the Don Taylor surfing-teen movie RIDE THE WILD SURF (1964) starring Tab Hunter, Barbara Eden, Fabian, Shelley Fabares, Peter Brown, Susan Hart and James Mitchum. It was the era of the invading Beatles and America's answer, The Beach Boys. California's beach culture and surfing were hot, and Hollywood was interested. Movies like this brought surf-world to theater and drive-ins in cities and communities far away from any coast. We like this poster for the way it identifies the audience and for its let's-go-surfing-now-everybody's-learning how attitude. We only have one of these, so get it while the surf's up. This poster is theater-used and should be regarded in average used condition. Linen backing this poster would make it shine. Some tape stains, minor tears and distresses. MovieArt Austin guarantees that this poster is an authentic, vintage U.S. one-sheet poster for this film. MovieArt Austin will sell no reproductions.

The most important thing to know about the spleen is this: a ruptured spleen is a greater threat to life than living without a spleen.
The spleen is a soft, spongy organ located on the left side of the body at the division between the chest and abdominal cavities. It's connected to the circulatory and lymphatic system, and it also functions as part of the immune system.
The spleen filters the blood, removing old blood cells and storing an extra supply of red blood cells to be released into the bloodstream in emergencies. It recycles the body's supply of iron and helps the liver process old hemoglobin into bile. The spleen also helps the body create antibodies to treat infections.
For all its useful functions, the spleen is not absolutely vital to life. If the organ has been damaged, it can be surgically removed and the patient will be able to survive with a few minor lifestyle changes. This is fortunate, because Pennsylvania auto accidents often inflict ruptured spleen injuries.
The sudden blunt trauma of a traffic accident can break open many internal organs, and the spleen is fragile enough for this to be a danger. A second level of risk comes from the ribs; if an auto collision in Pennsylvania fractures a rib, the sharp shards of bone can puncture the outer envelope of the spleen (called the splenic capsule). We should note, though, that this may not happen during or immediately after a Dauphin County car crash. The spleen may be nicked or bruised early on, but may not split open for days after the original injury.
Referred pain in the left shoulder.
The spleen is directly connected to the circulatory system, so the rest of the body starts to become deprived of oxygen and nutrients when a ruptured spleen causes an internal hemorrhage. This is a life-threatening event that requires emergency medical care to save the patient's life. Surgery may be able to repair the spleen, but the usual course is to remove it and close the blood vessels.
Surgery for a ruptured spleen or any other internal injury is a risky and expensive proposition. If someone else was responsible for your Pennsylvania auto accident, it may be in your best interest to pursue a personal injury lawsuit to cover your medical expenses, lost time from work, emotional distress, and other losses.

Our Annie has irritable bowel and terrible arthritis. We almost lost her earlier this year and she spent a week at the animal hospital on meds they said she needed the rest of her life. They did not give us much hope so we brought her home to nurse her. I started making her food, weaning her off their meds and giving her your product. She is still with us, happy, eating well and while still arthritic, much more mobile than I ever thought. She is taking one drug for inflammation. Thank you for your product which makes her life one worth living! She will soon be 15 years old and she is a beauty!

Warren can't duplicate opening-game magic
By Terrence Thomas
Published 8:56 pm CDT, Saturday, May 4, 2019

SAN MARCOS — Warren sophomore shortstop Austin Germain pressed her hands against her face and wandered briefly around the infield.
Germain eventually made her way into her team's dugout, tears mixed with face paint streaming down her cheeks, when reality began to settle in.
The Warriors' season was over.
Austin High defeated Warren 4-1 in Game 2 and 8-0 in Game 3 on Saturday to capture their Class 6A second-round series at San Marcos High School.
The Maroons (22-5-1) will play Judson in the third round. The teams will play a one-game playoff at 7 p.m. Thursday in San Marcos.
"I'm sorry, to my team, that we couldn't make it further," Warren senior outfielder Lauren Garcia said. "I hoped it would've turned out differently."
About 40 hours earlier, Warren (23-6) appeared on the verge of making the third round for a second straight season.
The Warriors won the series opener 3-0 on senior outfielder Cassie Davis' three-run, inside-the-park homer in the top of the seventh inning.
It was Warren's only hit, but it exemplified the team's penchant for coming up clutch, often against the odds. A year ago, with a roster loaded with underclassmen, the Warriors advanced to the Region IV-6A final for the first time.
There was no late-game magic, though, for Warren on a warm Saturday afternoon.
Austin High senior pitcher Danielle Serna made sure. The Colorado State signee allowed one run and seven hits in Saturday's doubleheader and had a combined 26 strikeouts.
In the decisive Game 3, Serna tossed a three-hit shutout with 12 strikeouts. She worked out of jams in the first, third, fourth and sixth innings after Warren put in scoring position.
Serna received plenty of support. Catcher Angel Ojeda had an RBI single in the seventh, Serna helped her own cause with a two-run single in the sixth, and first baseman Jayda Lafluer blasted a 215-foot home run that hit the scoreboard in left field.
Austin High took control in the first when it scored three runs on an RBI single by second baseman Natalie Guerrero, a bases-loaded hit by pitch and a sacrifice fly.
"I think it was just our emotions, just the fact that we don't want to go home," Serna said. "It was kind of tough (Thursday) night, but we kind of just woke up the next morning and said we've just got to go out and try our best and get these games."
In Game 2, which was suspended Friday after 12/3 innings because of inclement weather, the Maroons built a 4-0 advantage on outfielder Karina Serna's two-out single in the sixth, Danielle Serna's two-out, two-run single in the fifth, and outfielder Alyssa Ybarra's RBI single in the third.
Warren closed within 4-1 when Germain scored on second baseman Dynasty Harpel's sacrifice fly in the sixth. But the Warriors were undone by their inability to get hits in crucial moments.
"It really sucks coming out here and not being able to hit," Garcia said. "We came out today and we just weren't able to take care of it like we wanted to."

Michael Long on his way to a championship-winning score of 66. Winning amateurs Rhys Britton, Ben Nichols and Greg Bryant. Kent Rayner, Greg Mitchell, Chris Wells and Michael Long.
MICHAEL Long (47) has won the 2016 Yanchep Golf Estate Sun City Pro-Am, topping a strong field of 39 professionals to take the title.
Long finished with a six under the card 66 to win by one stroke from Daniel Fox who scored a five under 67. WA's Braden Becker and Victorian Tim Elliot tied for third one stroke further back.
It continues Long's winning form after he won the Victorian Open in February this year.
"I'm happy with the golf I'm playing in this May Pro Am swing," he said after his one shot victory.
Long's 66 fell one stroke short of beating the course record of 65, set at last year's Pro-Am by Busselton's Brody Ninyette.
The 39 professionals were joined by 78 amateurs in the May 18 competition that saw amateurs team up with a pro for an assisted ambrose competition.
The winning team comprised Greg Bryant, Ben Nichols and Rhys Britton, on nett 56.7.
"It was a great day," Bryant said.
It is the fifth year in a row that Yanchep Golf Estate, Peet Limited's residential community neighbouring the course, has supported the event, part of the PGA's May swing of Pro-Ams in WA.
"We really appreciate the sponsors' support of professional golf, whether for players just starting out or players heading for 50 like myself," Long said, thanking sponsors as he received the winner's cheque for $2245.

Light-hearted debate on serious issue of violence
"A good smack never hurt anyone" is the contentious title of a fun and entertaining debate designed to raise awareness about the impact of family violence.
The debate will be held on Monday, September 16 at the Oamaru Opera House.
It marks the beginning of a week of activities for family violence awareness and has been organised by the Waitaki Family Violence Network and supported by Zonta.
Waitaki District Council community safety and development officer Helen Algar said she hoped the community event would provide an opportunity for a light-hearted look at what is a serious issue in New Zealand.
"The evening will also provide an opportunity for people to hear from Vic Tamati of the 'It's not OK Campaign'," Mrs Algar said.
Sponsored by the Oamaru Opera House, entry will be a gold coin donation with proceeds going to the 'It's not OK Campaign'.
The evening will include entertainment from local musician Elton Crane, who will be performing acoustic cover songs in the foyer before the debate.
Team members for the affirmative, "The Whackers", are David Jackson, Danny Park, Steve Hotton and Rebekah Bisson.
Taking the anti-smacking approach in "The Soothers" team will be Blair Wilkinson, Jibi Kunnethedam, Alex Familton and Mrs Algar.
Waitaki Girls' High School principal Tracy Walker will be moderating the debate.
Oamaru police Senior Sergeant Jason McCoy said while they were going to have some fun with the debate, there was a very serious undertone.
"The fact is in the five years from 2008 until 2012, 127 women and children in New Zealand died as a result of family violence. Of those, 31 were aged under five years," he said.
Other events during the week will include presentations to four secondary schools alongside some one-on-one facilitation by Mr Tamati and Lesley Elliot of the Sophie Elliott Foundation.
"These activities are a precursor to the White Ribbon Ride which will be in Oamaru on Wednesday November 20 and again on Saturday November 23," Mr McCoy said.
Entertainment kicks off at 7pm and entry is by gold coin donation.
