Great Oaks

Golden Bough from Roman mythology 'found in Italy'

They discovered the remains while excavating religious sanctuary built in honour of the goddess Diana near an ancient volcanic lake in the Alban Hills, 20 miles south of Rome. ...They believe the enclosure protected a huge Cypress or oak tree which was sacred to the Latins, a powerful tribe which ruled the region before the rise of the Roman Empire.The tree was central to the myth of Aeneas, who was told by a spirit to pluck a branch bearing golden leaves to protect himself when he ventured into Hades to seek counsel from his dead father. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/

Cold weather splits 1,200-year-old oak near Wrexham

Known as the Great Oak at the Gates of the Dead - to split down the middle.
The 1,200-year-old oak, near Chirk, Wrexham, has a 34ft (10m) circumference trunk and is thought to date back to the reign of King Egbert in 802. It is near the site of the Battle of Crogen in 1165 when the tree is thought to have been spared by King Henry II. http://news.bbc.co.uk/

That 1,200 it looks just like the one in Pans Labyrinth - Cresent-Moon Wild Horses & the Grail -Acorss the Atlantic

Case of the “Spontaneous Text”

OK… this is kind of interesting and weird. I recently upgraded to Windows 7. I discovered the Speech Recognition program in the control panel and started playing around. It worked very well without training and includes a lot of controls. Copy, paste, select, correct, etc…

While I was practicing dictating into WORD, my two sons came stomping up the stairs in the usual “noise” around here. This noise caused the program to misspell a word. I responded with the command: “delete that”. To my surprise and amazement the machine typed: “The ego delete that”. I roared with laughter as I reached for the button to click “off” the Speech Recognition Application. Before I could the machine typed:

“40 over you say to my most of the demons more than in me of all the time of, the move from a what you think is a 3 to 9 edge behind the mask here that the lord of the age to come, stop was a”

Further intrigued, I sat back quietly, folded my arms and watched the machine type. I never spoke a word as I watched and listened. One son sat and strummed his Acoustic Guitar while the other son was banging around in the kitchen looking for a snack.

As all the “normal vibrations” of home life with teenagers ensued, I witnessed the machine work very hard to listen to these vibrations and translate them to TEXT. The machine not only typed it also interpreted various sounds to “commands” and the cursor jumped around within the text, highlighting, deleting, correcting and randomly moving “text” around.

I was fascinated to witness this because amongst the Gibberish appeared “phrases” that caught my attention… Phrases that seemed to connect thoughts….

Strange I tell you. Anyway, below is the “Spontaneous Text” generated by “wordless sounds”. See if you see any interesting phrases and patterns. I was reminded of the MATRIX: KNOCK, KNOCK NEO…

Caprica: “Rebirth” (Episode 3) Soul of a Cylon

At the end of the first episode (Pilot), we're introduced to Zoe-as-robot (Zoe-R) after the human Zoe dies in a terrorist attack and her avatar (Zoe-A) disappears. In Rebirth, we discover that Zoe-A is no more (somehow deleted). We also learn that "Zoe" is in fact a "trinity" of human, avatar, and robot. In her first encounter with Lacy since the terrorist explosion that claimed her human form, Zoe confronts the existential dilemma of being "trapped" in a Cylon body, "Lacy, it's me. It's okay, you can take a good look. Do I look male to you? I'm trapped!"

Zoe reflects on her human self and the confusing nature of being 3-in-1, "Zoe's original program was destroyed when he [her father] put me in here. So, at least he won't be putting any more of me into more robots. God, it's confusing. I mean, I'm Zoe and the avatar and the robot. I'm like some kind of wachacallit... three parts..." Lacy responds, "Trinity, that's what you are, three faces of one thing." http://www.hplusmagazine.com/editors-blog/caprica-episode-2-rebirth-soul-cylon

Evolution of the Cylon

All this reminds me of the Crowley movie- "The Beast" /Chemical Wedding. If u havn't seen it, I suggest the next rainy day download it. The science department put together a kind of virtual reality time machine. If u google the reviews it unfortunately falls into the “films that should not be seen”; only because the movie is based on his work.... no blood, guts and gore 'horror' reviewers are so used to- you do have to have some occult knowledge for it to make sense.

Aleister Crowley was a notorious British occultist of the early 20th century who was dubbed the "wickedest man in the world," so it seems odd that there haven't been more horror movies exploiting his story. (my thoughts exact)

The film begins in 1947, with Crowley recruiting a couple of Trinity College ( Too bad i lost my Meat Suit II -would fit perfect here -it is now 'wip'. When it's finished i will add a link ) students to help him conduct a ritual that will supposedly reincarnate him after death -- or is it resurrect?

Fast-forward 50-odd years later, and American physics professor Mathers comes to Trinity to hook his virtual reality suit up to a super computer dubbed the Z93. What he doesn't realize is that the computer's programmer, Victor, has been secretly inputting Crowley's works into the system.

One day, Victor gets his colleague, Professor Haddo, to try on the suit as he runs the Crowley program, and through the magic of movie science, Haddo becomes possessed by Crowley's spirit. He transforms from a mild-mannered, stuttering professor into a cocksure, sexual jerk who likes to pee on his students.

Rest of the review can be read here : http://horror.about.com/od/dvdhorrorreviews/gr/crowleyreview.htm

But the movie the VR machine "triggered" Haddo's true inner self. He was Crowley from birth, he truely woke up.. he had regained his past lives, along with his 'majic' powers. The whole science team consisted of the reincarnations of his entourage ( Jack Parsons/Scarlet Woman & etc)

Look forward to the rest in MeatSuit II.

Oh and I forgot, I do have an introduction coming soon :)
Until then much peace and love to you all !!

D'oak'town Quake

Canada hit by rare earthquake
February 06 New Brunswick - Magnitude 3.0

http://earthquake.usgs.gov ne00001157
Google maps -45.963°N, 65.618°W

Residents in central New Brunswick got a couple of jolts on Sunday as the Doaktown area was shaken by a series of small earthquakes.

The first earthquake had a preliminary magnitude of 3.6 and struck at 5:16 a.m., and was followed by another tremor of 3.2 at 10:30 a.m., according to the United States Geological Survey's website.

Karen Swim of Doaktown said her dog was acting strangely, and then she heard what she thought was a sonic boom. Swim told CBC News that she didn't think the sound she heard was related to an earthquake until a friend called.

Swim said her friend directed her to the internet where she found that her community was one of a handful of places in the world that reported earthquakes.

"And there we are, in all our glory, little Doaktown, New Brunswick," Swim said.

Out of the Ocean

UFO sighting puzzles N.L. residents

Residents in Harbour Mille, a tiny community on Newfoundland's south coast, want to know what they saw in the sky Monday night.

Darlene Stewart said she was outside taking pictures of the sunset when she saw something fly overhead.

She snapped a picture of the object in an attempt to zoom in on it to see what it was.

"Even with the camera, I couldn't make it out until I put it on the computer," she told CBC News. "I knew then it wasn't an airplane. It was something different."

Stewart's picture shows a blurry image of what appears to be some kind of missile-like object emitting either flames or heavy smoke.

Emmy Pardy also saw the object.

"It appeared to come out of the ocean," she told CBC News. "It was like it was in the middle of the bay."

UPdate :

DND, RCMP mum on UFO mystery

People who saw a missile-like object soaring through the sky over a small rural community in Newfoundland Monday night are getting no answers about what it was, although police say they'd gotten to the bottom of the mystery. Darlene Stewart spotted the object while taking pictures of the sunset over Harbour Mille, a community of about 200 residents on the south coast of the province. She says she started snapping photos.

She then called her neighbour, Emmy Pardy, and the two women, along with Stewart's husband, say they saw three similar objects flying through the air minutes apart, one up close and two farther off in the distance. The photos taken by Stewart show blurry pictures of what appears to be a long, round object, much like a missile, seemingly rising from the ocean, with either smoke or flames shooting out the back end.

Objects made no noise

Stewart said the objects didn't make any noise. "We confirmed that it was something," Sgt. Wayne Edgecombe told CBC News Wednesday. But Edgecombe said he couldn't reveal what the police investigation uncovered.

He said the focus of any police investigation is on whether something criminal has occurred."It's nothing criminal," he said, in relation to the unidentified object.

Edgecombe said he contacted the Department of National Defence and "they gave me some info," but he said that it is up to that department to release the information publicly. Defence department officials were refusing comment.

The sighting has intrigued people in the Harbour Mille area, with some saying they were told by officers who were in the community Tuesday investigating the sightings, that the objects were test missiles launched from the nearby French islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon. Edgecombe said that rumour is completely false.

The suggestion that the object possibly involved the military has Liberal MP Gerry Byrne, who represents the Newfoundland riding of Humber-St. Barbe-Baie Verte, demanding answers."There's a credible body of evidence," Byrne told CBC News, "that suggests there's something spectacular happened off of our shore. Before this goes any farther, I think the government needs to actually respond very quickly with a straightforward, factual statement."

Was safety in jeopardy?

Byrne said if it was some kind of military test, then people should be told whether their safety was jeopardized.

"If indeed this was a man-made object, that it was a missile, was there any potential risk to health and safety from collateral damage should the missile fire have failed?"

Byrne used the mystery to take a shot at the federal government for proroguing Parliament. He said if the House of Commons was opened, he'd be able to question the ministers of defence, transport and public safety about the incident.

"It's cloaked in relative secrecy," he said. "And the only way to get around that secrecy is a special institution called the floor of the House of Commons."

Stewart said Tuesday she has been overwhelmed by the number of calls she has received about the sighting. But she said nobody has told her officially what it was that she saw."I would like to get to the bottom of it," she said.

UPDATE

Finnish UFO researcher says winter sun on jet streams creates rocket effect

ST. JOHN'S, N.L. — A UFO researcher and author from Finland calls it "the December Phenomenon."

Bjorn Borg, a 63-year-old retired economist, says each winter he can count on media reports of what appear to be rocket or missile sightings of the kind seen last week over Newfoundland's south coast.

"Every year this comes up in the news," he said Monday from Helsinki.

But what people are really seeing is the effect of jetliner vapour trails catching winter sunlight, he said....

His theory was backed up Monday by Chris Stevenson, local president of the Royal Astronomical Society.

It's unbelievable how far this went," Stevenson said of rampant speculation about covert foreign missile testing or perhaps alien life forms.

"I've seen this several times," he said of the effect created when transatlantic aircraft, which often travel in pairs, reflect sunlight far overhead after daylight has faded on the ground.

The resulting bursts of colour can be spectacular and startling, Stevenson said.

"They might strike fear in the hearts of people who don't know what they're looking at."

Stewart's photo is obviously not a rocket because the contrail goes transparent at the end, Stevenson said.

"A rocket plume would be thick all the way back to where the rocket was launched. Again, had the sighting not been at sunset, I would have taken this a bit more seriously."

Still, Stewart is adamant that what she captured on her digital camera was no jetliner.

"To me, it was not a jet," she said from her home Monday in Harbour Mille. "No, no, no.

"We didn't hear any noise. No noise. Every airplane that comes over here, whether we're inside or the TV's going, you still hear them. A jet may be farther off but it still makes noise.

"To me and my eyes, it was not a jet."

The federal government had little to say Monday.

"It appeared to come out of the ocean," she told CBC News. "It was like it was in the middle of the bay. "It's kind of scary because you don't know if something is being set off out in the bay, [or] if someone is doing experiments," she said." Emmy Pardy CBCNews

Discovery

Perfect gift for the man, or woman, who has everything, and it has been heavily discounted! Originally worth $42 million, is now being sold for the low price $28.2 m (£17.7m)

Discovery, which has completed 37 missions into space and 5,247 orbits, has already been promised to the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum, but shuttles Atlantis and Endeavour are still available, the Independent reports. ...

Nasa decided to sell the shuttles ahead of their retirement later this year. They are set to be replaced by the new Ares 1-X rocket, which is due to take over all manned space flights in 2015.

If the new price is still too daunting, an even bigger bargain comes in the shape of the shuttle's engines - no longer required once the craft is in a museum. The agency offered them for sale at between $400,000 and $800,000, but there were no takers. They are now offering them free, to anyone with the ability to take them home. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/space/7014890/Nasa-puts-Discovery-space-shuttle-up-for-sale-for-17.7m.html

Reminds me of PlanetSpace's Geoff Sheerin (President and CEO of Canadian Arrow) who a few years back proposed space tourism launching from Nova Scotia's Cape Breton.

Canadian Arrow has been studying the blueprints for Wernher von Braun’s V2 rockets in designing their prototype for a launch unit. http://traveltonovascotia.com/2008/01/26/space-tourism-in-cape-breton-2/

The company chose Cape Breton because it lies at approximately the same latitude as Russia's launch facility, the Baikonur Cosmodrome. ...

The Nova Scotia government has already signed an agreement to provide about 120 acres of land for the project that conceivably could rival the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla.

"It sounds like we are setting goals for reaching for the stars," Chamber of Commerce Vice President Owen Fitzgerald told CTV Atlantic. "Space travel is a big thing and it's going to be a big thing in the future. They say there are some advantages here in Cape Breton geographically -- let's use that to our benefit." www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20060816/cape_breton_space_060816/20060816?hub=Canada
