Le Morte dArthur Book One Chapter 4: Ban and Bors Arthur returned to London, and following Merlin's advise, he called his barons to council, for Merlin had told the king that the six kings would quickly try to attack him and his lands. His barons offered no advice other than that they had enough men. “I thank you for your courage,” said Arthur, “but will you all who say you love me, speak with Merlin? The barons agreed to hear Merlin, who was sent for. “I say to you,” said Merlin, “I warn you all that your enemies are strong and they are as good soldiers as live. “What shall we do?” “I shall give you my advice,” said Merlin. The king and the barons agreed to Merlin's plan. “Therefore,” said the spokesman of the eight knights, “you shall die or be our prisoners, for we are knights of King Claudas.” When the two messenger knights arrived at Benwick they were pleased to find both Kings Ban and Bors there. “Ha!” “When do you suppose we can expect the two kings?” “Sir,” they said, “before All Hallowmass.” “Who is he?”
Tetradia aubreylstallard:Samplerman(Source: samplerman) for-the-duke-of-paris:monsieurlabette: The picture of phalluses painted on the walls of a house is quite a common sight in Bhutan. The phalluses are that of Drukpa Kunley, the Divine Madman, and recall his legendary sexual exploits, thereby serving as a symbol of fertility. The phallus is not considered objectionable in Bhutan. Indeed, the phallus may date to Bhutan’s ancient Bon religion, adopted from Tibet long before Buddhism. the-duke-of-paris-archive(Source: yourdaddyd, via lostandfound) (Source: faith-in-humanity, via pantycrust) pieffysessanta:Tim Walker for Aquascutum(via pieffysessanta) magictransistor:Joseph Martin Kronheim, There was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe, c. 1875.(via aleatoryalarmalligator) muirgilsdream:Radish Virgin.

Retrogasm Install Theme©Install Theme© The Frenemy. this isn't happiness™ Peteski EPA: Subsea oil dispersants in Gulf were a test? Subsea dispersants the right call, EPA administrator believes Published: Sunday, June 27, 2010, 8:00 AM Jonathan Tilove Six weeks after she OK'd the unprecedented subsea application of dispersants into the oil gushing from a hole in the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson thinks she made the right call. "So far the data show we haven't done any damage and actually we've helped with dispersion and used a lot less of the chemical in the process," Jackson said in her office last week. "But that was probably one of the toughest decisions I've ever made because I don't usually say, introduce any substance, even one that's less toxic, to try to fight a problem, and yet, we had to make it." As of this week, BP has applied nearly 1.5 million gallons of dispersant into the largest oil spill in U.S. history -- almost one million gallons on the surface, and another half-million in the subsea, the first time it has ever been used there. 'This was a test' 'Big tradeoffs'
killerbeesting* GREAT SHOWDOWNS by scott c. Bangable Dudes in History Fuck Yeah, Sherlock. Hey guys! I unfortunately need a little bit of help.Recently, I came out to my parents as trans*, telling them that I intended to start on T as soon as possible since I’ve been living out for more than a year now and the insurance my parents had me under would cover HRT. Unfortunately, when I told them, they didn’t react well at all and told me that if I wanted to go proceed with my transition, I would need to “feel the consequences myself.” So, long story short, they took me off of their health insurance.This is where you come in - I hate to have to ask, but I need to raise a decent amount of money by early December so that I can pay for school-sponsored health insurance for the upcoming year. With health insurance through GWU, my hormones will be covered, thankfully, but it’s an expensive bit of downpayment for a full-time student with little to no outside income to make.I will be offering rewards in the form of art commissions and buttons - check out the campaign for further info!
Scientists Detect Oil on Gulf Floor By Vickie ChachereUSF.edu News Manager ST. PETERSBURG (Aug. 17, 2010) – University of South Florida marine scientists conducting experiments in an area of the Gulf of Mexico where clouds of oil from the BP spill were found now have discovered what appears to be oil in sediments of a vital underwater canyon and observed evidence that the oil has become toxic to critical marine organisms. In preliminary results, the scientists aboard the R/V Weatherbird II discovered that oil-droplets are distributed on the Gulf's marine sediments in the DeSoto Canyon. The preliminary findings may suggest that sub-surface oil is emerging onto the West Florida Shelf though the canyon, a geologic feature located east-northeast of the Deepwater Horizon well site. The observations from the scientists are pending confirmation in further laboratory tests at USF's College of Marine Science. The researchers found:
