Forgotten In Time: The Ancient Solfeggio Frequencies
There is no taste, no sound, no light and no colour. Our taste and sound receptors are impulse converters; There is no light and no color outside of our brain. Colours and light are formed in our brains by conversion. Light energy vibrations of different frequency (i.e., of different wavelengths) are converted by a transducer (the eye) into signals (impulses) that can be received and processed by neurons in the brain of as colours.
Love signal is a healing audio and visual meditation with music, sacred geometry and Solfeggio frequency 528 Hz, the miraculous frequency for transformation and DNA repair. There is a special sound and colour of love according to Dr. Horowitz, a Harvard-trained award-winning investigator. Broadcasting the right frequency can help open your heart, prompt peace, and hasten healing.
"We now know the love signal, 528 Hertz, is among the six core creative frequencies of the universe because math doesn't lie, the geometry of physical reality universally reflects this music; these findings have been independently derived, peer reviewed, and empirically validated," Dr. Horowitz says.
Music & video by Jandy the Decibel Jezebel Poem by Katie Pye The Solfeggio Scale and note names; 1. UT...396 Hz (Center Pillar of the Tree) The third note, frequency 528, relates to the note MI on the scale and derives from the phrase "MI-ra gestorum" in Latin meaning "miracle." Stunningly, this is the exact frequency used by genetic biochemists to repair broken DNA - the genetic blueprint upon which life is based! MI - 528 Hz - relates to crown chakra. Dr Mirahorian suggests an association with DNA integrity,transformation and Miracles . MI - 528 Hz - relates to crown chakra; The regular "C" that we all know of in this culture (which is from the diatonic scale of do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do) is not the 528 Hz frequency "C. A regular "C" vibrates at a frequency of 512 Hz. The "C" of 528 Hz used for DNA repair is part of an ancient scale called the Solfeggio Scale

Hard Learned Lessons
We all have days from time to time when it feels like the world is against us or that the chaos we are experiencing will never end. One negative circumstance seems to lead to another. You may wonder, on a bad day, whether anything in your life will ever go right again. But a bad day, like any other day, can be a gift. Having a bad day can show you that it is time to slow down, change course, or lighten up. A bad day can help you glean wisdom you might otherwise have overlooked or discounted. Bad days can certainly cause you to experience uncomfortable feelings you would prefer to avoid, yet a bad day may also give you a potent means to learn about yourself.
You may consider a bad day to be one where you’ve missing an important meeting because your car stalled, the dryer broke, and you received a piece of very bad news earlier in the morning. Multiple misfortunes that take place one after the other can leave us feeling vulnerable and intensely cognizant of our fragility. But bad days can only have a long-term negative effect on us if we let them. It is better to ask yourself what you can learn from these kinds of days. The state of your bad day may be an indicator that you need to stay in and hibernate or let go of your growing negativity.
Bad days contribute to the people we become. Though we may feel discouraged and distressed on our bad days, a bad day can teach us patience and perseverance. It is important to remember that your attitude drives your destiny and that one negative experience does not have to be the beginning of an ongoing stroke of bad luck. A bad day is memorable because it is one day among many good days – otherwise, we wouldn’t even bother to acknowledge it as a bad day. Know too, that everybody has bad days, you are not alone, the world is not against you. Tomorrow is guaranteed to be a brighter day.

A Word on 'The Aura'
The Aura is the energy field around both animate and inanimate objects. It contains information about the health of a creature, its emotional and mental state, and many other things. Colour, texture, shape, size, and motion of the aura all provide information about the creature or item.
To see the Aura, first relax your body, still your mind, and then relax your eyes. Then, choose any object or a person to look at that won't make you nervous. Begin by looking gently at the object, focusing your eyes slightly behind it. Then begin to look at the object/person with your “third eye” ~ the pineal gland of the mind or the central point of the forehead ~ which is attributed psychic and clairvoyant visions.
Next, close your eyes and feel your awareness focus ‘shift upwards’ slightly, taking your attention away from looking out of your eyes, so that you seem then to be looking out of your forehead.
Now, open your eyes, and feel your awareness focus shift back down to normal sight. Open and close your eyes a few times to learn how it feels. Avoid rolling your eyes upward; that will just give you a headache.
Once you are confident of the focus shift, do it gently with your eyes open. Look out of your eyes and your forehead at the same time. This shift of focus awakens psychic vision, which is used to see auras. To observe the aura at this point, look gently just past the object, using your eyes to see and keeping your focus lifted to the third eye.
When you begin to see lines/segments of colour around the object, you need to determine if it is an after-image of the object or the actual aura of the object.
After-images are defined as a ‘biological effect of your eyes’, caused by eyestrain. To determine if it is an after image, look at the circular image for at least 30 seconds, and then look at an empty space beside the object, or better still, a blank wall. The opposite-colour image you will then see is an after-image.
To prevent after-images, blink often and don't look at one object for too long. As you improve, you will see the aura within a few seconds, before any after-images begin to appear. When you first observe colour or lines around an object, look away to make sure it's not an after-image. To eliminate after-images, close your eyes for a minute or two. When you stop seeing the image on the inside of your eyes, the after-image is gone and you can go back to seeing the aura.
Auras have many shapes, sizes, colours, and textures. There is no standard interpretation because different people perceive differently. The best way to discover the meanings of colours and other attributes is to experiment with viewing as many auras as you can. Better still if you choose someone you know, and observe them during different emotional and mental states. This way you can determine an aura colour for ‘angry’, for ‘happy’, for ‘sad’ etc. Then it would be interesting to choose another ‘subject’, see their aura at a given time and determine if their mood at that time coincides with your own interpretation of a particular colour or pattern seen in their aura. Alternatively, read about traditional meanings and use them to decide what the colours mean to you. For instance, someone who is decisive about his personal space may have a clear edge on his aura, a solid, dense energy, and sharp, clear lines. The aura can affect and be affected by a person's health.
Stay relaxed and calm as you practice. Practice often, but don't tire yourself. Often, the moment you relax and quit trying, you will suddenly see the aura quite clearly. If things aren't working, take a break, do something fun, and try again later when you can be more relaxed and patient. Aura vision may be easier when you are sleepy because you won't have the energy to force anything. If you have a difficult time letting things happen without forcing them, try once or twice when you are tired or sleepy.
Dim lighting can be helpful so you don't strain your eyes. Put a solid coloured background behind the object. Grey, white, brown, and dark colours work well because they are not visually distracting.
The aura has multiple layers, like an onion, but with each layer reaching from the very centre of the person outward. Close to the body, all of the layers overlap. Each layer out reaches farther away from the body and becomes less dense, lighter, subtler, and more difficult to see.
Maybe, first, practice seeing the inner layers. As you improve, let your awareness expand, growing lighter and softer. Reach outward with your aura to feel the aura you are looking at. Feel your vision shifting more strongly toward the third eye and clairvoyance. Remain relaxed and feeling light as your vision expands to include the outer layers.

All Still To Play For ... in 2 weeks time
Manchester United dominated for much of this lively Champions League last-16 clash but had to settle for a goalless draw with Inter Milan at the San Siro.
A Cristiano Ronaldo bullet header was well saved after four minutes and Ryan Giggs then missed when clean through.
Inter were much-improved in the second half as Zlatan Ibrahimovic burst to life, and after dummying for Adriano the Brazilian shot tamely wide.
A new-look United defence stood strong as Inter pushed for a late winner.
Old adversaries Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho started the week by trading friendly jibes, with the United boss disputing claims his side would play defensively, emphasising the importance of away goals. (BBC Sport)

How Soon Is Soon?
Still mesmerised by the mystery; by the pied piper's apparent casual attention to detail (there are many flaws and imperfections after all which still echo in cyberspace forums and chat rooms) ... many still wonder how far into the future 'soon' is? They keep going with 'it'll be over soon' without ever entertaining that 'soon' would roll on to 22 months ... It is a mystery with no real clues ... only heresays and assumptions. The innocent party at the centre of it all condemned by the power of suggestion. The evidence of 'dark magic' is there at every pitch and turn. Someone well versed in mind control has taken the 'bull by the horns' and keeps the baying public at bay with media mesmerism. A seed of thought is planted and enmasse the doubt or the insinuations are cast within the collective.
Those on the fringe of the mystery ... perhaps impervious to the mesmerism (those that know it is there do not let its glamours stand in the way) ... see the situation for it is. Can step right to the centre of the maze (or is it a labyrinth) and realise what is going on. There IS a cover up. There IS a trojan horse. There IS a living and breathing little girl. She did NOT perish on the night of 3rd May 2007 contrary to what the ghouls think and write in certain areas of cyberspace. It is THEY who are deluded preaching their bile. There was no murder or accidental death.
Events were NOT how the public has been lead to believe. There is no conspiracy. The plain facts are there for anyone who is willing to shake off the spell of dark magic they have been deceived by.
Soon may not be soon enough for so many. But for those at the centre of the maze, soon has a different meaning. For them there seems the inevitability (when they are permitted) for a diluted version of what went on to break ranks from out of the veil of silence. There has to be 'brotherhood' permission for something to surface. News will be leaked. Rumours will be started. An announcement will be 'forced' ...
"The little girl who was missing has been found' ... soon? Putting a timing on 'soon' is not possible. The length of that piece of string is indeterminable for the observer looking at it who is unable to comprehend the scale of the drawing it has been included in. Point A & Z do appear on this image ... but it is a zig zagging path like a snake (or serpent) between the two points. Point A was prior to 3rd May 2007. The night of the 'abduction' was perhaps point E or F ... there is much more to this than meets the eye. But, by stepping back to the fringe once more ... it is possible to determine the pattern of it all. A design encompassing religion, politics, secret societies, medicine, research, media, banking and a whole host of other things. Many faces are part of wheels within wheels. Walk circles within circles .... far reaching is this ...
Mystic pursuits can determine that point Z is the missing being found. It can determine there wll be others too that have been taken, linked to 'something nasty' at the core of this rotten apple. However, mystic pursuits cannot accurately put a timing on the end to this situation. There is some deception at bay. Some big brother observation perhaps? The goal posts are forever changing ... or they were. Now silence is the master ... is the cloak behind which who knows what is really going on? Methinks my own thoughts here ... I have my own assessment of what is behind that golden wall. Those who can see this mystery clearly with no suggestive influence clouding the mind, will see the most likely occurrences too.
A smiling face of a little girl meets my inward gaze. A living breathing little girl ... the sound sounds of the Scorpions classic 'Holiday' sound as I write. It is on a par with what I am thinking as to the current trend of the situation. My imagery now drifts to the image of 'death' in the Merlin Tarot which depicts a number of rotten apples laying on the ground below the apple tree, to describe the situation which the mystery of 3/5/7 is part of, with an mysterious woman portrayed as the bringer of change and endings to a situation. It is a cleansing period this. The image of death is not that of a physical death like the ghouls demand ... but a necessary ridding of the bad apples within a deep rooted tradition.
The mesmerism effect; the dark magic spell; appears necessary to prevent names and faces of traditional power from being seen in a sulphurous light ... the engagement of all facets of the power empire to conceal the the hornet's nest which has been shaken ... appears to be sheer necessity.
It is certainly more than one little girl going missing. It is much more than that below the surface ...much is concealed by the cloth of cloak and dagger deception. Silence may be golden at this point in time ... but it will not last forever. Soon will become a reality but how soon is soon? Something is being carefully prepared behind the scenes ... threads checked and double checked as another weaving is created. Destiny is the spider which will reveal its invisible web that has been placed around joe public. There is some enchantment. Some dark intention here ... the way this situation is driven by the power of suggestion and media mesmerism is frightening. People are falling for the trick of the pied piper ... his spell weaving is so obvious here on the fringe. There are picks here beside me which could be used to unthread his original weaving; the weaving that contains the imagery of 3/5/7 and the 'blood on the wall' accusations ... and the subsequent path the mystery took. Most certainly the truth is far removed from those deceptions. But ... it is determined as 'better to be safe than sorry' not to dig too big a hole in that enchantment. It is there for a reason and it does protect the life of an innocent child after all. .... more on these matters again soon.
Harnessing The Power Of The Universe "Mayan Physics"
Active volcanoes, nuclear waste deposits, Mayan pyramids - there are lots of places physicists don't want to go in person, for fear of burning in in a river of magma, lethally and painfully failing to develop superpowers, or incurring the wrath of Cizin (Mayan god of death and winner of the "Most people sacrificed" award three millennia running). Such structures have a scale that laughs in the face of radar and can be so complicated that the best seismic imaging will tell you is "Yep, there's definitely stuff down there all right". Professor Schwitters of the University of Texas suggests using muons instead.
If you just asked "What's a muon?", then congratulations, you're part of the 99.99999 % of the population that aren't particle physicists. A muon is a high energy subatomic particle which can penetrate huge volumes of rock, making them perfect for imaging vast structures. The problem is that the only way humans can produce them is in huge particle accelerators like CERN or Fermilab. These things cost such a spectacular sum of money that it would probably be cheaper to build your own Mayan pyramid and look at the blueprints to see what's inside, and besides, building a particle accelerator into a live volcano sounds like a great way to convince Bond to shoot you. Erecting an atom-smasher around a Mayan temple, on the other hand, is a plot that the SciFi channel would dismiss as too stupidly ridiculous despite great lines like "Professor, the linear coil accelerators are haunted!"
But Professor Schwitter doesn't mess around with piddling little toys like 26 kilometer long accelerators that require the power of a small city. He's bringing a much bigger muon generator to bear - the universe. It's a fact that any kind of radiation you care to imagine is generated somewhere out there, and the only reason we aren't all triple-headed glow in the dark skeletons is that the cosmic rays bathing the Earth collide with the upper atmosphere producing all kinds of fancy subatomic particles. Including muons. Every square centimeter of the surface receives a complimentary muon per minute courtesy of stuff in space (you've gone through a fair few reading this far), and by planting detectors around the mayan pyramids the professor plans to build up a 3D model of the interior.
The key is that while muons can pass through solid matter, they can be deflected from their path - the more mass, the greater the deflection. In this way the detector data can build up a picture of where there is solid rock (more deflection) and empty chambers (less). Combining subatomic shenanigans, astrophysics and archeology in this way is one of the coolest crossing of concepts since the short-lived Trampoline Shark Boxing League, and is at least one positive side-effect of every subatomic physicist in the world standing around bored and twiddling their thumbs waiting for the Large Hadron Collider to come online.

Today's Comment
O what tangled webs we lead ...
We anticipate our own importance in the tiny part of existence which is our life span. We interact with other 'mortals' and exert our right to be noticed, or ascend perhaps to 'fame' and 'fortune'. In those milleseconds within the life span of the universe between us all, we experience every human emotion, every human experience ... every conceivable act of human-ness. We all live within the current human civilisation and dare to perceive it is the most important or the most notable.
Then the cosmic tide comes in and those temporary tracks we've collectively made in the sand are cleared ... and the tapestry is wiped clean. For the next part of the cosmic life span to continue.
In a thousand years, we may well be collectively remembered as the civilisation that were constantly at war with each other. That had the convenience of terrorists among them to help human governments advance their agendas. We may be even remembered as the civilisation that had '911' .... it might be as legendary as Troy or Culloden. We might be remembered. But we might not.
In ten thousand years ... I doubt our footsteps will ever be recalled. Our importance is momentary in it all. Faced with the enormity of infinity or magic of creation, most human beings experience brain failure at such thoughts. Lost deep in their daily chores and concerns, spiritual concepts are rarely internally debated for more than a passing moment.
The concept of 'something being created out of nothing' or trying to imagine 'nothingness' will probably send most minds into overload. Spend a moment or two trying to comprehend all of the universe, all of human existence, all life on this planet ... suddenly coming from nothing. There has to have been a start ... but what was before it all? How can there have been something eternally? How can everything have always been? What is beyond it ... how was it formed? How can nothing evolve to something? It is mind boggling ... and is a perfect tonic for expanding consciousness.
Forgetting human-ness even for a moment is bliss in itself. Rising out of the man made time restraints of 60 seconds per minute, 60 minutes per hour ... is a wondrous thing. Entering into inner dialogue, where timelessness exists ... is a perfect doorway into comprehending the enormity of it all.
Attempting to define true spirituality is another good concept to contemplate. Spend a moment to write down your understanding of 'spirit'. Forget for a moment the endless drip drip of sceptical tedium that states 'there is no life after death'. Forget that constant wasp drone for a moment. Let yourself believe there is life after physical death (even if you don't believe it ...) just for a moment ... enter those precious moments of timeless contemplation and imagine what it must be like to experience being a 'spirit' ... what it is like to be free of this physical form. It is an inspiration to set the mind free in this way ...
Breaking down such stigmatic and binding restraints is a real bonus in this life. Expanding the mind out of the restraints of mortality ~ ignoring the mortgage demand, the bills, the feeling of illness ~ is not an easy thing to do. But we get tied down by the mundane and as a result the bulk of our brain power ceases to function adequately. We become lethargic and fearful. We place more and more importance on these moments in human time. We become limited and thus powerless.
By expanding our minds to imagine; to contemplate; to meditate beyond those mortal restraints we get a true sense of the universal consciousness of which we are all a part. We sense more the unity of all things in the universe. We being to realise there is definitely an intelligence behind the design of existence. Nothing is haphazard. It is all by clever design. It is mystery of infinite possibilities of which we humans are but a tiny part. An average life span of three score years and ten (approx) seems a long time for most humans to comprehend, but compared with the lifespan of stars and planets, it is no time at all.
It is no time at all. It is but a moment in the totality of the infinity which we are part of . Now is a good a time as any to start taking moments out from the busy routine of life to think about expanding the mind ... the health of the physical body can only benefit from those moments.

Breaking down such stigmatic and binding restraints is a real bonus in this life. Expanding the mind out of the restraints of mortality ~ ignoring the mortgage demand, the bills, the feeling of illness ~ is not an easy thing to do. But we get tied down by the mundane and as a result the bulk of our brain power ceases to function adequately. We become lethargic and fearful. We place more and more importance on these moments in human time. We become limited and thus powerless.
By expanding our minds to imagine; to contemplate; to meditate beyond those mortal restraints we get a true sense of the universal consciousness of which we are all a part. We sense more the unity of all things in the universe. We being to realise there is definitely an intelligence behind the design of existence. Nothing is haphazard. It is all by clever design. It is mystery of infinite possibilities of which we humans are but a tiny part. An average life span of three score years and ten (approx) seems a long time for most humans to comprehend, but compared with the lifespan of stars and planets, it is no time at all.
It is no time at all. It is but a moment in the totality of the infinity which we are part of . Now is a good a time as any to start taking moments out from the busy routine of life to think about expanding the mind ... the health of the physical body can only benefit from those moments.

"Glowing Entities"
Interesting video footage ... The first part of the video shows a glowing ufo. The second part shows glowing lights which are possible alien entities on a hill side.
A Word on 'Othel'
OTHEL is the last Rune of the series and in many ways it is the antithesis of the first runic symbol FEOH at where FEOH represents money, OTHEL represents the things that money can buy. OTHEL is also associated with money from an upcoming death, such as a will, trust fund, or pension.Othel, the twenty fourth rune, is the embodiment of family. This needs little explanation, the aspect of life involving companionship and kinship.
Othel is the place where you live, and the word also signifies things you may have inherited. It is the rune of home. Othel has to with being part of a community, to belong somewhere - and to live according to the roots of culture or family tradition.
Jupiter in Astrology
Jupiter (Zeus, Thor, Wotan), king of the gods is the largest planet in the solar system, and it’s symbolism bears this out. Jupiter is the principle of expansion: expanding the mind to superconscious realms and philosophy, expanding our physical horizons through long journeys, and expanding the physical body through putting on weight (or just plain being large). It is also a kind of cosmic Santa Claus: generous, optimistic, or, if afflicted, extravagant, excessive, fond of display, opinionated, fanatical and boastful. Jupiter is the promoter par excellence, the teacher or the con man, the priest or used car salesman, the gambler or the crusader. It represents the higher mind, lifting up our eyes (the arrow of the Sagittarian centaur) with visions of truth, idealism, understanding, wisdom, and aspiration.
Jupiter’s symbol is the crescent of personality raised above (or uplifted by) the cross of matter. It represents man’s (the crescent’s) triumph over earthly experiences (the cross) through his understanding of universal law gained through just those experiences. Saturn is those experiences and the testing through which this wisdom was obtained, and hence their symbols are each other’s turned upside-down. Thus the wisdom and understanding of Jupiter is the way through the tests of Saturn.
In the body Jupiter rules the thighs, liver, hips, pituitary gland, and assimilation on all levels. Its house position shows what activities shaped your social principles and ethics. Just as the liver produces bile to help you digest food, so too does your ethical, religious and social training produce the principles and values that help you digest life’s experiences.
Jupiter is a planet with a lower and higher manifestation. If well placed by sign or house or well aspected it can signify subtle understanding of life’s deeper principles, learning through travel or higher education, general good fortune or luck, and material abundance. If poorly placed or afflicted it symbolizes indiscriminate sensuality, self-indulgence, wastefulness, greed, avarice, dilettantes, and wanderers. Jupiter rules Sagittarius where it embodies all the planet’s positive aspects, and is exalted in Cancer where it expands the nurturing, mothering principle.

Buddhist Inspiration
The only reason we don't open our hearts and minds to other people is that they trigger confusion in us that we don't feel brave enough or sane enough to deal with. To the degree that we look clearly and compassionately at ourselves, we feel confident and fearless about looking into someone else's eyes. --Pema Chodron
The Chemistry of Alchemy
Superficially, the chemistry involved in alchemy appears a hopelessly complicated succession of heatings of multiple mixtures of obscurely named materials, but it seems likely that a relative simplicity underlies this complexity. The metals gold, silver, copper, lead, iron, and tin were all known before the rise of alchemy.
Mercury, the liquid metal, certainly known before 300 BC, when it appears in both Eastern and Western sources, was crucial to alchemy. Sulfur, "the stone that burns," was also crucial. It was known from prehistoric times in native deposits and was also given off in metallurgic processes (the "roasting" of sulfide ores).
Mercury united with most of the other metals, and the amalgam formed colored powders (the sulfides) when treated with sulfur. Mercury itself occurs in nature in a red sulfide, cinnabar, which can also be made artificially. All of these, except possibly the last, were operations known to the metallurgist and were adopted by the alchemist.
The alchemist added the action on metals of a number of corrosive salts, mainly the vitriols (copper and iron sulfates), alums (the aluminum sulfates of potassium and ammonium), and the chlorides of sodium and ammonium. And he made much of arsenic's property of colouring metals. All of these materials, except the chloride of ammonia, were known in ancient times.
Known as sal ammoniac in the West, nao sha in China, nao sadar in India, and nushadir in Persia and Arabic lands, the chloride of ammonia first became known to the West in the Chou-i ts'an t'ung ch'i, a Chinese treatise of the 2nd century AD.
It was to be crucial to alchemy, for on sublimation it dissociates into antagonistic corrosive materials, ammonia and hydrochloric acid, which readily attack the metals. Until the 9th century it seems to have come from a single source, the Flame Mountain (Huo-yen Shan) near T'u-lu-p'an (Turfan), in Central Asia.
Finally, the manipulation of these materials was to lead to the discovery of the mineral acids, the history of which began in Europe in the 13th century. The first was probably nitric acid, made by distilling together saltpetre (potassium nitrate) and vitriol or alum. More difficult to discover was sulfuric acid, which was distilled from vitriol or alum alone but required apparatus resistant to corrosion and heat. And most difficult was hydrochloric acid, distilled from common salt or sal ammoniac and vitriol or alum, for the vapours of this acid cannot be simply condensed but must be dissolved in water.
"Transmutation" is the key word characterizing alchemy, and it may be understood in several ways: in the changes that are called chemical, in physiological changes such as passing from sickness to health, in a hoped-for transformation from old age to youth, or even in passing from an earthly to a supernatural existence. Alchemical changes seem always to have been positive, never involving degradation except as an intermediate stage in a process having a "happy ending." Alchemy aimed at the great human "goods": wealth, longevity, and immortality.
Alchemy was not original in seeking these goals, for it had been preceded by religion, medicine, and metallurgy. The first chemists were metallurgists, who were perhaps the most successful practitioners of the arts in antiquity. Their theories seem to have come not from science but from folklore and religion. The miner and metallurgist, like the agriculturalist, in this view, accelerate the normal maturation of the fruits of the earth, in a magico-religious relationship with nature. In primitive societies the metallurgist is often a member of an occult religious society.
But the first ventures into natural philosophy, the beginnings of what is called the scientific view, also preceded alchemy. Systems of five almost identical basic elements were postulated in China, India, and Greece, according to a view in which nature comprised antagonistic, opposite forces--hot and cold, positive and negative, and male and female; i.e., primitive versions of the modern conception of energy.
Drawing on a similar astrological heritage, philosophers found correspondences among the elements, planets, and metals. In short, both the chemical arts and the theories of the philosophers of nature had become complex before alchemy appeared. (Crystalinks)

Oops...we Overlooked 193,000 Square Miles of Ice
19 Feb 09 – The ice is melting! The ice is melting! . . . Or is it?
In May, 2008, the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) predicted that the North Pole would be ice-free during the 2008 melt season because of ‘global warming.’
Today, they admitted that they’ve underreported Arctic ice extent by 193,000 square miles (500,000 square kilometers). They blamed the error on satellite problems and sensor drift.
And we’re supposed to trust these people?
193,000 square miles! That’s the size of Maine, Vermont, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and West Virginia combined! And toss in Washington, D.C. for good measure. Let’s watch the newspapers. If a pimple of ice smaller than a city should break off an ice sheet, they'd holler to the high heavens.
But do you think they’ll report this discovery of 'lost' ice the size of 10 states?
As opposed to the NSIDC information, AMSR-E data - compiled in cooperation with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and the Advanced Earth Science and Technology Organization of Japan - shows that sea ice extent in 2009 is running ahead of 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008. Perhaps the NSIDC’s prediction of an ice-free north pole is premature. (Source: Iceagenow.com)

Inner Child Meditation
Deep within each of us lives the child we once were. For most of us, our inner child lies hidden beneath the layers that we’ve put on in order to become adults. In our rush to put on grown-up clothing and live adult lives, we may have forgotten the wisdom and innocence that we possessed when we were children. In meditation, we can connect with our inner child and reclaim what we have forgotten. 
You can start by finding a photo of yourself as a child that you can look at for a few moments. School photos often work well to help you connect with this part of you. Sit in a relaxed position, close your eyes, and start taking deep breaths. Set the intention that you are going to connect with your inner child. Wait for an image of yourself as a child to appear in your mind’s eye. See your grown-up self hugging your inner child. Listen to what your inner child has to say. Perhaps your inner child wants to give you the answer to a question that you’ve been mulling over. After all, you never needed to look outside yourself when you were a child to know how you felt or what was true for you. You always knew the answers. There also may be an ache from a childhood wound that you can now heal by talking to your inner child and offering them the wisdom and perspective that comes with maturity. Or maybe you’ve merely forgotten how to see the world with childlike wonder and hope, and your inner child would like you to remember how. Tell your inner child that you love them and will keep them safe. Embrace your inner child and tell them that you are always there for them. Allow your inner child to always be there for you. Connecting to your inner child in with meditation is a very useful tool, but you can also connect with your inner child even when you aren’t in meditation. Treat yourself to a play date, ice cream, or a walk in the park. Let yourself laugh and play more. Give yourself permission to be as wise as your inner child so you can stop focusing on what isn’t important and start living as if every moment is precious. Your life will be filled with more laughter and fun.

Green light for a close encounter: 'Jupiter-sized' comet to streak past Earth tonight
We have known of its existence for only two years. But if you raise your eyes heavenwards tonight, you might just catch a glimpse of the comet Lulin.
Glowing green, it will come within 38million miles of Earth, the closest it has ever been, and about the same distance away as Mars. Lulin, photographed here by an astronomer in Arizona, was discovered by a 19-year-old student from a photo taken at Lulin Observatory-Taiwan, in 2007. The spectacular comet will be visible to the naked eye over the next few nights. Its colour comes from the gases that make up its Jupiter-sized atmosphere. The stellar traveller is very active, shedding nearly 800 gallons of water each second on its journey around the Sun. That's enough liquid to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool in less than 15 minutes. Jets from the nucleus throw out cyanogen, a poisonous gas found in many comets, and diatomic carbon, which glow green when lit by sunlight. It could be visible any time after dark. Nasa said: 'Dark country skies will be required. But no one can say for sure. This appears to be Lulin's first visit to the inner solar system and its first exposure to intense sunlight. Surprises are possible.' (Daily Mail)

Today's Comment
There is nothing new under the sun.
That saying is very true. We are extremely foolish to fall for the traditional brainwashing that we are the most advanced culture ever to walk the earth. There is too much architectural evidence in Egypt, South America, Iraq, and below the oceans that completely contradict this persistent hogwash. Even the bible refers to the walls of Jericho being brought down by a weapon made by sound (we have just developed the technology to do this very thing in concrete demolitions - find the sound vibration that basically shakes the concrete to pieces). There is a vast area of the Sinai Desert too RADIOACTIVE to sustain life. The sand is basically green in colour ... a green glass that is found to be associated with desert areas subjected to nuclear testing!!! There has been nuclear weapons before on this planet. Evidence found in archaelogical digs in South America have revealed items of stone and metal which defy belief ... their manufacture too precise and intricate for our modern day advanced methods, yet supposedly made by 'primitives'.
No, we have been betrayed. Advanced civilisations like Atlantis, Mu, Lemuria ... may now be condemned to legend ... but I believe 100% they existed. Evidence of these places HAS been found. It is just that joe public and the lower echelons of the power pyramid are kept out of the loop.
There was a time that the landmasses of the Earth were completely different to how they appear today. It doesn't interest me how long ago. They just were ... there has been upheavals. There has been comet collisions, and close calls with other planets that have resulted in large quantities of ice being magnetically attracted to this planet which could well have been the reason for the sudden change in temperature over night that wiped out so many creatures at one time on the Earth.
I believe that 'Lucifer - the light bringer or the Fallen One' was actually an astronomical body like a comet or a small planet that was seen in the night sky for hundreds of years, that suddenly was observed falling out of the heavens. It could have collided with the Earth and created some kind of devastation like a huge crater which would have looked like the fiery gates of hell at the time with all the smoke, the molten ash etc ...
Anyway, advanced civilisations will have flourished in other areas of the planet, which may now be covered by expanses of water. As our technology advances ... we are going to find more and more evidence of these cultures. We, joe public, are not going to be told that these cultures have been found as it goes against history. Remember, the winner writes the history so we are not being told.
The google image MIGHT be the lost city of Atlantis ... the comment that because it is so many times larger than the size of London is not an acceptable reason for it not being Atlantis! I knew this image would be debunked ... I expected it. I am open minded enough to make my own assessment. Over the ages a particular pattern forms when artifacts and evidence is unearthed ... it has a certain 'smell' in my awareness. That smell is around this new's story at the moment. It is the mushroom syndrome in my opinion. It may not be Atlantis ... but it is something more than they are saying.
I've studied so much about the ancient cultures. The ancient writings. The Sumerian texts for example ... since I was a small child I've known that far more advanced cultures have walked this earth and that the earth's landmasses have constantly changed over many millenium. As a child I was able to naively receive information about places and peoples without the questioning adult mentality. I would accept information about past lives without it being a problem. Over the years I've built up a library of consciousness which I firmly believe contains factual information about the history of the earth. Someday this will be put down on paper ... then the information compared with the 'scientific' and 'factual' information which research has uncovered many years later .... be an interesting publication don't you think? There will be many of the missing pieces there for sure including Atlantis, The Annunaki and the true identity of the Pyramids of Giza for example ....

Atlantis Find Debunked (as was expected in truth)
The image - discovered on internet mapping tool Google Earth - lay in an area of the Atlantic long thought of as a possible location for the city. Experts were agog, marine geologists baffled and internet bloggers were buzzing.
There were just two problems, however. First, the grid of streets, walls and buildings turned out to be the size of Wales. That meant Atlantis was 20 times as big as Greater London. More problematic still, the grid of lines doesn't exist on the sea floor.
According to Google, the pattern is an 'artifact' of its map-making process. Details for the ocean maps on Google Earth come from sonar measurements of the sea floor recorded by boats - and the area around the Canaries was mapped by boats travelling in a series of straight lines.
The grid can be found by anyone using the latest version of Google Earth on their computer. It lies in the Canary Basin, 620 miles west of the Canary Islands, and east of the undersea Konstantinov Ridge.
'It's true that many amazing discoveries have been made in Google Earth - a pristine forest in Mozambique that is home to previously unknown species, a fringing coral reef off the coast of Australia, and the remains of an ancient Roman villa, to name just a few,' said a spokesman for Google. 'In this case, however, what users are seeing is an artifact of the data collection process. Bathymetric (sea-floor) data is often collected from boats using sonar to take measurements of the sea-floor. The lines reflect the path of the boat as it gathers the data.' The grid was spotted by a British aeronautical engineer who claimed it looked like a 'man-made aerial map' of a city.
Bernie Bamford, 38, of Chester compared it to the plan of Milton Keynes, the Buckinghamshire town built to a grid design.
Dr Charles Orser, curator of historical archaeology at New York State University said the site was 'one of the most prominent places for the proposed location of Atlantis. 'Even if it turns out to be geographical, it definitely deserves a closer look,' he added. (Daily Mail Comment from Daily Mail article (which sums it all up really): 'Everytime a major discovery is uncovered we get told oops we made a mistake its nothing really, for example the missing 11 minutes of the moon landing where the astronauts were describing buildings on the moons landscape, it was heard by millions then subsequently deleted, or the many ancient underwater cities lying off cuba , japan, and another 6000ft below sea level near Florida. )

Bernie Bamford, 38, of Chester compared it to the plan of Milton Keynes, the Buckinghamshire town built to a grid design.
Dr Charles Orser, curator of historical archaeology at New York State University said the site was 'one of the most prominent places for the proposed location of Atlantis. 'Even if it turns out to be geographical, it definitely deserves a closer look,' he added. (Daily Mail Comment from Daily Mail article (which sums it all up really): 'Everytime a major discovery is uncovered we get told oops we made a mistake its nothing really, for example the missing 11 minutes of the moon landing where the astronauts were describing buildings on the moons landscape, it was heard by millions then subsequently deleted, or the many ancient underwater cities lying off cuba , japan, and another 6000ft below sea level near Florida. )
A Word on "Aromatherapy"
Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of volatile essential oils from aromatic plants. It is aimed at rejuvenating the body, mind and spirit.
Essential oils can be used with massage (using aromatherapy massage technique - a combination of lymphatic drainage, reflexology techniques, Shiatsu and Swedish massage), in oil burners, baths, inhalation or by applying small amounts to skin or clothes.
According to aromatherapy theory, the essential oil molecules bring about changes in the brain. These brain changes in turn lead to rejuvenating emotional and physiological reactions.
Essential oils are obtained from a wide assortment of plants, which have been steam distilled or cold-pressed from flowers, fruit, bark and roots.

The Dark Side
If you want to be fully alive, if you want to arrive at your deathbed without too many regrets or unanswered questions, you need to know how to visit your own basement. You need to be able to go to the dark side.
Too often, people associate "the dark side" with evil. They're wrong. Evil is vinegar; the dark side is good red wine. If you’re clever, you can easily recognize the difference.
The dark side is a gloomy old basement full of treasures and dust. Here you find everything forgotten, spurned, out-of-style. The unflattering family photographs, the failed wood shop projects, the pants you can no longer fit into. Here, too, are the gargantuan monsters of H.P. Lovecraft. The sulfury, musky scents this place gives off, like night air, inspire some and make others fall asleep and dream.
Though I wouldn't compare it to a summer's day, it’s a rich place, much richer than most places aboveground. Basically, it's compost. Jung calls this place the shadow.
Shamans believe that illness is caused by soul loss. The shamans think that when you go through trauma, sometimes pieces of your soul break off and get lost. I think they go to the dark side. And you can either travel there and get them back (which is what so many of our favorite fairy tales and adventure stories are about, really), or you can let them go.
We all know people who’ve let pieces of their soul go. Their lives are much diminished. They repeat themselves a lot in conversation. Though the faces of the people they share them with may differ, they keep having the same experiences over and over again. Usually, they don't know exactly what they've lost. Or maybe they're afraid to go down those basement steps.

Embracing the Disinherited
In tribal cultures, the elderly play an important role. They are the keepers of the tribe’s memories and the holders of wisdom. As such, the elderly are honored and respected members of tribes. In many modern cultures, however, this is often not the case. Many elderly people say that they feel ignored, left out, and disrespected. This is a sad commentary on modernization, but it doesn’t have to be this way. We can change this situation by taking the time to examine our attitudes about the elderly and taking action.
Modern societies tend to be obsessed with the ideas of newness, youth, and progress. Scientific studies tell us how to do everything – from the way we should raise our kids to what we need to eat for breakfast. As a result, the wisdom that is passed down from older generations is often disregarded. Of course, grandparents and retired persons have more than information to offer the world. Their maturity and experience allows for a larger perspective of life, and we can learn a lot from talking to elderly people. It’s a shame that society doesn’t do more to allow our older population to continue to feel productive for the rest of their lives, but you can help to make change. Perhaps you could help facilitate a mentorship program that would allow children to be tutored by the elderly in retirement homes. The elderly make wonderful storytellers, and creating programs where they could share their real life experiences with others is another way to educate and inspire other generations.
Take stock of your relationships with the elderly population. Maybe you don’t really listen to them because you hold the belief that their time has passed and they are too old to understand what you are going through. You may even realize that you don’t have any relationships with older people. Try to understand why and how our cultural perception of the elderly influences the way you perceive them. Look around you and reach out to someone who is elderly – even if you are just saying hello and making small talk. Resolve to be more aware of the elderly. They are our mentors, wise folk, and the pioneers that came before us and paved the way for our future.

Rothschild Agents Take 10 Key Posts In Obama Administration
Six former Rhodes Scholars (educated at Oxford University in Britain) and four others associated with the London School of Economics are serving in key posts in the Obama administration. That’s not good. 
Here are 10 of the key “British”—that is, Rothschild —operatives now ensconced in the Obama administration (more can be expected): Susan Rice—ambassador to the UN; Michael McFaul—head of the Russian desk at the National Security Council; Elena Kagan—solicitor general of the United States; Anne-Marie Slaughter—State Department policy planning staff; Neal S.Wolin—deputy counsel to the president for economic policy; Ezekial Emanuel—senior counselor at the White House Office of Management and Budget on health care policy; Lawrence Summers—head of the National Economic Council; Peter Orszag—director of the Office of Management and Budget; Peter Rouse—senior advisor to the president; Mona Sutphen—deputy chief of the White House staff. The truth about the Rhodes Scholarships is not known to the average American who is constantly told by the mass media that Rhodes Scholars (such as former President Bill Clinton) are among “the best and the brightest.”The Rhodes Scholarships—awarded to Americans and students from other former British colonies—are funded by a trust set up by 19th Century British imperial figure Cecil Rhodes, whose intent was to indoctrinate these scholars with the theme that the American colonies should be reunited with the British Empire and that they should work through “public service” to achieve that goal. But Rhodes wasn’t just some rich madcap dreamer. His ventures were underwritten by the international Rothschild dynasty operating from the financial district in London known as “The City”—the banking center of the Rothschild controlled British empire that also includes the London School of Economics.So now a clique of internationalists trained in the idea of extinguishing American independence are ensconced in the Obama administration. And another Rhodes Scholar, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, is widely touted as the great Grand Old Party candidate to “take back the White House” in 2012. Jindal doesn’t offer “change.” He—like the other globalists in the Obama administration—is part of the problem. All of this is not a “conspiracy theory.” Rather, these facts are well known to those familiar with what the Rhodes scholarships are really about. (American Free Press)

Mystic Switchboard
Providing the bridge between the two worlds ... connecting those who have been seperated by the illusion of death. The message is simple, life goes on ... the spirit moves to other levels of this virtual universe ..."Emma ... I wish to speak to Emma, and let her know it was not her imagination that feather in her bedroom. Next time I will send her a leaf to let her see it is me ... and I know she still lives in Yorkshire, I wasn't that stupid to think she wasn't. They thought I'd gone potty at the end ... but I knew those letters were being kept from me ... her Granny '
"Graham, don't be upset about letting the little fish die. There will be bigger ones that the boys will appreciate. I may not be around to help you make the right choice, but know if you put your mind to it, you'll find a better job. That idea wasn't the right one ... and I would have let you know if I was still there. Ask B ... she can hear me shouting at you. Watch her face next time you are in the locked room" ... your ever loving Sarah.
"Madeleine is STILL very much alive. O ye of little faith who are doubting now that truth after so long. Nothing has changed. John is impatient isn't he ... he always used to lose patience very easily and it seems little has changed ..." Elizabeth.
"Your garden is still blighted Julie eh? It's your father Bill here. I can't seem to get you to go to someone who can hear me. I am anxious as I do love you. I have always done but never showed it eh? Don't still think of me of the bickering old fool ... think of me as someone who was scared to show my emotions. Your latest one should be the one you marry. Stop thinking of your past mistake and get one with it ... life is too short ... go to somewhere soon eh?"
A New "Music Connection"
Something from the vaults ... Music Connections have pretty much been neglected over the last few months (along with many other things too). 
So, as I write, I'm speculating with regard to a choice of three songs which will have a cryptic/hidden connection between them. Three videos of these songs will be published with the question (in the vein of Radio One's legendary Friday Night Connection by the late and great Tommy Vance - pictured left) ... 'what is the connection between the three songs?'.

Plus there will be a prize for the person who correctly e-mails the connection first!

Clearing Yourself
The single most important discipline in psychic development is how to keep yourself grounded during the process. Without clear boundaries and the knowledge that you are always in control, you may feel as if you are driving a fast car down a hill with no brakes! 
Also, after any type of psychic work, it is a good idea to close the chakras down - to imagine each of the seven major chakra as flowers, and visualize the petals, one by one, closing down for a period of time. Begin at the crown chakra and continue down the body to the base chakra, but leave this one partially open, to help reconnect to the earth. While there are many great books out there on chakras, here's a brief introduction to them in simple terms: When you think of a chakra - an energy center within the body - picture a spin dryer - front-loading, with its little round window at the front, like a ship's porthole into a view of your laundry.The seven major ones, like seven small spin dryers, live in a semi-straight line from the crown of the head and along the spine in seven fixed points. Their job is to spin the energy of the body, like little furnaces that keep us going. They draw up the energy from the earth, and draw down the universal energy from above our heads, and feed us with it in the form of vitality, passion, joy and healing. When they are all spinning and are on the 'rinse cycle', so to speak - it means that we have shed a whole heap of baggage that we have brought with us to this point in our lives. It shows that we have done some personal growth and have realized that much of what we learnt on the outside of ourselves, especially when we were little, was pure hogwash.Having clean, healthy chakras indicate that, yes, we passed many metaphysical exams and are moving cheerfully towards total enlightenment. The truth is, the vast majority of us have some deep cleansing to do, and like old, dirty diapers - there's a lot there and it's hard to scrape off in just one afternoon! Our chakras are often chockfull of old stuff - from negative family affirmations we grew up with (like "life is a struggle') to decisions we made about ourselves that formed a conclusion that we were either 'not enough' or 'unlovable' or 'undeserving'. And, just like dirty laundry - your chakras need a cleanse regularly, in addition to doing the really hard elbow grease work.So commitment and courage are helpful companions for the task. Commitment and a certain level of patience as you realize that this growth is journey, not a destination. We are like onions - just when we think we are done, we find another, deeper layer of pain, grief, anger.Get to know your chakras. Follow your intuition down your body, and the one you might be drawn to first could be the chakra in need of your healing first. Generally after any intuitive work, we close our chakras down to seal in the protection that we need in order to go back into the outside world. A light snack is also grounding, as is a tepid shower .... More ...

Beaver Magic
The Beaver totem reminds us that we have to act on our dreams to make them reality.It is time for action. If this totem has entered your life, ask yourself: Have I been neglecting my dreams? Am I lost in my dreams and not acting upon them?
The Beaver reminds us that we have to act on our dreams to make them a reality. When it shows up, it is the time for action. Beaver can show you how to construct wonderful dreams! If you are a Beaver person, do not neglect your dental care. It is essential to those with a Beaver totem. A Beaver is also sets the example of teamworkfor you to take into your work life and your family life. Dreams are easier to build with a team helping.
The Beaver is a stocky, sturdy, and industrious animal who creates natural ponds in his environment. This rodent, a mammal, lives on land as well as in the water. Beaver is the engineer of the animal kingdom who, for his own security and comfort, changes his environment. Time and again Beavers expand and alter their habitat. Such industrious activities require great perseverance.
The time of the Beaver is the height of spring, when seeds sprout and seedlings take root. Strong, well-established roots make it possible for the newly sprouted buds and plants to grow in the soil. Beaver people need firm ground under their feet in all areas and situations in their life, and they are always trying to be sure of the outcome of what they do. They need a solid foundation from which they can grow and fulfil their dreams. They are sensible in all things.
Like the totem animal, Beavers are industrious and untiring while remaining level-headed. They are dedicated to the job at hand, always trying to do justice to the task and reach their personal goal. In the end, Beaver people can be proud of what they have accomplished and acquired. They know what they want and go after it with patience and tenacity.
Their strong need for security and stability, influenced by the element earth, might make them inflexible. Beavers are often too focused on a specific subject, and this might diminish their ability to see the bigger picture. That, in turn, might mean that they miss great opportunities, not the least because Beavers hate to take risks since that could jeopardize the security they seek. Last but not least, Beavers relish comfort and are very sensual--a characteristic that finds its expression in their sexuality.

The Greater Cause
With all that takes place in our lives, it can sometimes be easy to overlook the fact that we’re part of something greater than ourselves—a collective consciousness, the Universe, a greater cause. Because of our tendency to forget this, we might make decisions in our lives that don’t reflect that responsibility that comes with this belonging.
All too often, we focus just on the short-term, tangible gain to ourselves without worrying about its consequences. Other times, we may discard the greater cause because it seems like “hard work.” The challenge is to expand our minds so that we transcend the distinction between self and others, so we are aware of how our choices and actions can impact a greater cause.
Contributing to the greater cause doesn’t have to be all about self-sacrifice. For example, if you plant a tree in a community space, its shelter will cool and protect you as well as your neighbours. Or, your reward might be in the form of the beauty that you now see in that space or the sincere smiles of appreciation from neighbours. When you serve the greater cause you also serve your greater good. There is nothing that you cannot do for your highest good that will not benefit the good of all. For example, saying no to a relationship that isn’t right for you not only benefits you but serves the greater good of the other person that you are honouring with your honesty. Saying yes to your dream job not only fulfils you but also serves the people that will benefit from your enthusiasm and productivity.
When you know you are serving a greater cause, there is little room for fear and doubt. You know that what you do will benefit others, so there is no way the universe is not going to support your efforts - even if sometimes it may not look that way. Serving the greater cause allows you to live from the space of your greatness. When you know that what you do can serve a greater cause, you are aware of your power and ability to influence and create change in this world.

'The Atlantis Discovery'?
The first steps that would be required to implement Project Bluebeam includes artificially created earthquakes using HAARP at certain precise locations on the planet as a catalyst for the re-evaluation of all archaeological knowledge and religious doctrines.
Well, according to several reports recently, it seems that they have quite possibly discovered the fabled sunken city of Atlantis, 620 miles off the west coast of Africa near the Canary Islands — a location for Atlantis seemingly suggested by the ancient philosopher Plato. He believed it was an island civilisation sunk by an earthquake and floods around 9,700BC — nearly 12,000 years ago. The legend of Atlantis has captured the imagination of scholars for centuries.
The “grid” showed up on Google Ocean, a Google Earth extension that uses a combination of satellite images and marine surveys. Last night Dr Charles Orser, curator of historical archaeology at New York State University — and one of the world’s leading authorities on Atlantis — called it “fascinating”. He said: “The site is one of the most prominent places for the proposed location of Atlantis, as described by Plato. Even if it turns out to be geographical, this definitely deserves a closer look.”
It shows a perfect rectangle lying on the bed of the Atlantic Ocean nearly 3½ miles down. A host of criss-crossing lines, looking like a map of a vast metropolis, are enclosed by the boundary.
Situated in an area called the Madeira Abyssal Plane, the grid was spotted by aeronautical engineer Bernie Bamford as he browsed through Google Ocean. Bernie, 38, of Chester, said: “It looks like an aerial map of Milton Keynes. It must be man-made.” Google today claimed the criss-crossing lines were sonar data collected as boats mapped the ocean floor. But the internet giant said “blank spots” within the lines could not be explained.
A spokeswoman said: “Bathymetric (or sea floor terrain) data is often collected from boats using sonar to take measurements of the sea floor. The lines reflect the path of the boat as it gathers the data. The fact that there are blank spots between each of these lines is a sign of how little we really know about the world’s oceans.” (Source: The Alien Project)

The legend of Atlantis has captured the imagination of scholars for centuries.The “grid” showed up on Google Ocean, a Google Earth extension that uses a combination of satellite images and marine surveys. Last night Dr Charles Orser, curator of historical archaeology at New York State University — and one of the world’s leading authorities on Atlantis — called it “fascinating”. He said: “The site is one of the most prominent places for the proposed location of Atlantis, as described by Plato. Even if it turns out to be geographical, this definitely deserves a closer look.”
It shows a perfect rectangle lying on the bed of the Atlantic Ocean nearly 3½ miles down. A host of criss-crossing lines, looking like a map of a vast metropolis, are enclosed by the boundary.
Situated in an area called the Madeira Abyssal Plane, the grid was spotted by aeronautical engineer Bernie Bamford as he browsed through Google Ocean. Bernie, 38, of Chester, said: “It looks like an aerial map of Milton Keynes. It must be man-made.” Google today claimed the criss-crossing lines were sonar data collected as boats mapped the ocean floor. But the internet giant said “blank spots” within the lines could not be explained.
A spokeswoman said: “Bathymetric (or sea floor terrain) data is often collected from boats using sonar to take measurements of the sea floor. The lines reflect the path of the boat as it gathers the data. The fact that there are blank spots between each of these lines is a sign of how little we really know about the world’s oceans.” (Source: The Alien Project)
Eight Points Clear ... a Ronaldo Cracker ... and a conceded goal
Manchester United moved eight points clear at the top of the Premier League after a hard-fought 2 v 1 win over Blackburn.
Wayne Rooney lashed in a shot to put United ahead before a precise Roque Santa Cruz finish levelled matters. Jonny Evans' header was controversially disallowed for the home side before Ryan Nelsen hit the post for Rovers.
Cristiano Ronaldo powered in a superb free-kick for United's winner, and Morten Gamst Pedersen was denied a penalty late on for the visitors.
The Norwegian winger looked to have been pulled back by Rafael Da Silva when he was clean through on goal and the decision not to award a spot-kick provoked a furious response from Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce. But given Rovers are third from bottom and two points away from safety, Allardyce's side can be encouraged by their display, troubling a United side that has been sweeping aside all before them in recent weeks.
Blackburn also have the honour of becoming the first side to score against United since 8 November, 2008 when Sir Alex Ferguson's side were beaten by Arsenal. With United playing Inter Milan on Tuesday, Edwin van der Sar and centre back Nemanja Vidic were left on the bench with Tomasz Kuszczak and Evans left to fill the key roles, a policy that almost backfired on the Scot as Blackburn threatened to steal a point.

"Crystal Ball"

A Word on 'Crystal Balls'
Divination is a magical process which utilises various tools to provide 'glimpses of the future'. Crystal Ball gazing is one of the most popular forms of divination. The ancient art of Scrying - gazing into a shining, luminous or reflective surface. A quest for knowledge of 'possible future events'.Reflective or high polished stones have been used for centuries in developing psychic awarenenss. Any reflective stone and those which seem to possess 'inner movement' can be used as 'mirrors of the psychic mind'.
The well-known crystal ball gazing seems to have derived from something even more ancient, that is haunting the quality of reflected images. Many different cultures through out history have used crystals or the idea of reflected energy to enhance their psychic power:
The ancient Greeks used the calm surface of water as a means of entering trance, which enabled them to 'see' their fortune. The ancient Atlanteans used crystal balls as an indispensable source for seeking answers to their questions and fulfilling other needs in their daily lives. Crystal balls were made of different patterns, sizes, colours, and tones. Any reflective surface might create a state of transient consciousness, as the Arab tradition has it that warriors used the polished surfaces of their swords for this purpose.
Nostradamus, the famous 16th century French psychic, also used water and mirror for divination. He often stared at the surface of water in a bowl until he believed saw images of future events.
In the Victorian age, crystal balls were used along with palmistry and astrology.
Selecting a crystal ball can be an interesting experience. Actually, it is a misnomer that you are selecting a particular crystal ball. It is, in fact, the other way round. It is the crystal ball that selects you. Crystals boost your energy and enable you to communicate with spirits or other entities. The larger the crystal balls, the stronger the energy that they release. Moreover, you can view clearer images in larger crystal balls. Crystal ball reading can imbibe you with psychic energy and psychic power. It can make you a clairvoyant. You can see the visuals in the crystal ball, both physical and ethereal.
When two persons gaze into the crystal ball simultaneously, they see different images. It is like tuning to a radio. You choose your own frequency.

Buying some wine? Spy cameras will be watching
Big Brother CCTV cameras are to be fitted inside shops and supermarkets on the orders of the state to keep track on anybody buying alcohol. A law is being quietly pushed through Parliament giving councils the power to order licensed premises to fit the surveillance cameras. Pubs will also be covered. The footage of people innocently buying a bottle of wine in a shop or a pint of beer in a bar must be stored for at least 60 days, and be handed over to the police on demand.Critics say it will mean that citizens will now be tracked everywhere they go. The UK already has more than four million closed-circuit TV cameras covering the streets – the largest number in the world. Cars are also automatically monitored using cameras that check registration plates. Now shops and pubs will also be covered.
The measures form part of the Policing and Crime Bill, but have not been highlighted by Ministers. Under a code of conduct, which will be enforced by the Bill, any business that intends to sell alcohol will have to agree to install the cameras. (Daily Mail)
