[ARCHIVED] A paint mix-up sparks community upROAR over park and zoo's historic lion statues
A paint mix-up sparks community upROAR over park and zoo's historic lion statues
Even an astronaut is weighing in
Good deed gone south or happy accident?
A shocking new color on community's iconic statues erupts in controversy but brightens the mood.
Independence, Kansas - For decades, a quartet of larger-than-life concrete lion statues have stood as sentries at the main entrances of historic Riverside Park and Ralph Mitchell Zoo in small-town Independence, Kansas. The iconic lions serve as the mascot of the beloved park and zoo, which is a keystone of community pride and widely revered in the region for its well-maintained grounds, free zoo with everything from Siberian bears to free-roaming peacocks, to an operating miniature train and antique carousel that children and families can enjoy for mere pennies. Especially in the spring and summer months, the property is abuzz, with visitors flocking to the playgrounds, amusement rides, picnic shelters, water park and, of course, the zoo exhibits.
The zoo, in fact, earned a significant place in world history, as its "Monkey Island" was the birthplace of Miss Able, a rhesus monkey who became the first monkey to survive a space flight (in 1959) and helped pave the way for human space exploration. Miss Able's contribution was acknowledged with a long-running exhibit at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.
With such a reputation, it's no wonder locals are fiercely protective of this important community asset and were riled by a recent controversy involving those iconic lion statues.
Every year on the last Saturday of the month, the community observes LOVE Independence Day, a day dedicated to intentional community wide acts of kindness. Families, churches, civic groups, businesses, individuals and organizations come together to rehab houses, plant flower gardens, visit nursing homes, pick up litter and volunteer their time in countless other ways to express community pride and make someone else's day a little brighter. On this year's LOVE Independence Day last Saturday, April 30, members of a local organization – SEK Delta Waterfowl, a non-profit waterfowl conservation group – volunteered to repaint the park entrance lion statues, which for years had sported a questionable shade dubbed "circus-peanut orange." With paint and supplies provided by the park, the volunteers covered all four animals, mane to tail, in a fresh new coat of what was supposed to be a lion-ish shade of gold. In reality, due to a little color mix-up at the local paint store, the lions came out, well, a somewhat shocking, nearly neon shade of yellow – "Safety Yellow" to be exact, like the color of vests worn by road workers.
Before the paint was even dry, opinions began to fly on the park's Facebook page, @RiversideParkandRalphMitchellZoo. Comments have ranged from, "Hideous!" "Yuck!" and "They look like lemons in the shape of lions," to "Looks like summer and sunshine," "Really catches the eye," and "Has a lot of pop!" Many expressed their appreciation for the volunteers who painted the lions, even if they didn't like the color. The painters themselves made this clever post, "Fun was had and now you can see the lions from space."
Park staff, though somewhat partial to the vibrant new shade, acknowledged the color mistake and vowed to repaint the statues a more appropriate lion color right away. But the social media debate continued to rage, and instead of repainting immediately, the City of Independence and park staff decided to have a little fun with the whole ordeal – dubbed hashtag #LionGate - and put the issue up for a real community vote via the City's website, with a choice between "Nearly Neon Poppin' Yellow" and "Play-it-Safe Mellow Yellow."
#LionGate is sweeping the community and beyond. Humorous posts have sparked positive community engagement like few other issues in recent history. In one post, the park even tagged the International Space Station – "Hey, Astronauts, can you really see our lions from space?" - which prompted a reply from former space station commander Leroy Chiao, who actually has visited Independence and commented about how much he enjoyed the park, zoo and community. The park's post also drew the connection between the astronauts and the history of Miss Able in space and offered the astronauts a "You're welcome!" for the monkey's contribution to their future careers.
In other promotion, electronic marquees around town are plugging #LionGate and encouraging votes. To date, more than 1,700 votes (in a community of 8,500 residents) have been cast, not counting the hundreds of Facebook comments.
Reaching beyond the color debate, the discussion has prompted many on Facebook to share their childhood memories of the park and zoo, growing up in Independence, and even photos of the lions from as far back as the 1960s. The debate is all in good fun, says City Manager Kelly Passauer, and is shining a new light on the community's gem.
"It's great to see such passion from our citizens about our wonderful park and zoo," Passauer said. "And with so much unrest and bad news in the world, it's fun to lighten the mood a bit with a friendly community debate."
As one Facebook commenter summed it up, "If that's all the worries in the world, we're doing good. LOL. It's just a color."

30 students met at Summit at 3 pm for the 2 hour trip to Richmond KY. Our bus driver Norm had already been at school at 9 am due to a mix-up, but all was well.
It was HOT! Everyone was sweating as we loaded the buses.
I went around to make sure that everyone was there and realized that recent Summit graduate Logan Nagel – a veteran of 5 National Conventions was not there. Will Donovan gave him a call and handed the phone to me. Logan sheepishly confessed that he thought the bus was leaving TUESDAY but would be at school soon. Sure enough, within 20 minutes, Logan rolls up, tosses his luggage in the back, and hops on the bus.
Some fierce storms made the drive down rather stressful. Many vehicles were pulling over to wait out the heavy rain, and there was an accident. But the bus made it through the maelstrom safely and arrived on campus at 5:30. For the next hour or so, everyone got their registration material and unloaded their stuff and got settled in their rooms.
Dinner was next, from 7-8 pm. All meals during the week are in the college dining hall. There was tons of variety: pizza bar, pasta station, African food, Asian cuisine, deli sandwiches, salad bar. The line for the soft ice cream was always about 10 deep.
At 8 pm, the local high school – Madison Central – put on the 1st performance (out of 5 this week) of 'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.' This play is based on the characters and themes of the Roman comic playwright Plautus and won Musical of the Year in 1962. It includes the songs 'Comedy Tonight' and 'Everybody Ought to Have a Maid.' The audience really enjoyed the performance.
The Senex reluctantly submits to a hug from his domineering wife.
Mark Samaan introduces himself to the OH delegation.
Maddie Briner addresses the OH fellowship.
The fellowship was pretty short, lasting about 30 minutes.
It was then back to the dorms for a good night's sleep before the convention begins. All students were in their rooms by 11:30. Each day is long and filled with activities, and there are some nights when students do not get back into their rooms until midnight.


well been to the doctors about chest infection... just keep on taking the tablets she gave.. I suffer from depression and doc changed me Mirtanzapine and on the higher dose, but I keep having bad indigestion when asleep and vomit.. its something to do with the tablets.. so had to go and get some anti gastro tablets...came back from the doctors and me and laurieann (my daughter) made some cupcakes as Mandy my wife had to go to work... then dropped laurieann off at grandma and grandads (she goes every wednesday. Well a week to go.. cant wait... just listening to michael at the moment... I got a cd I havent heard for years I might put on when he supported Bob Seger in 1983 the radio broadacst, only four tracks but it's got one track called Stay, I believe he sang it with Blackjack, I'll have to see what I've got in my collection.. I used to have loads of vinyl but I guess when cd came out I sold nearly half my collection... I started again though as usb turntable players, My wife got it me for christmas... really good... so now I start over again, but I hate to say it the reissuing of vinyl is really not for me, twice I had to take back lp to HMV because the warpness of the records... (The Waterboys - fishermans blues and the eagles - hotel california), I have since discovered it is the way they press the vinyl today at the pressing plant, they dont let them cool down before packaging, and shrink wrapping them does not help because if they are in a warm record store, gonna warp more as sealed. anyway old viny a must.. I was bought up on soul, motown when I was a kid... as got older my music tastes vary... todays music is ok, but most of it is just a noise that I cant hear what they are saying or it's cultivated remakes that new artists put out because they cant write their own material.. I'm babbling on.... hope to see some of you next week anyway. .

Lion eyeing May return

Young Bomber retires
Irving Mosquito has announced his retirement. (Sports Media Image/Marcel Berens)
ESSENDON forward Irving Mosquito has walked away from the AFL at the age of 21 after losing the motivation to get back to the highest level.
Mosquito tore the ACL in his left knee in round 16 last year, and he was granted an absence of leave from the Bombers in May to return to his hometown of Halls Creek.
The speedy goalsneak has spent the past few months considering his future, and he has decided not to return to AFL ranks.
"It was a pretty tough decision to come to, and I had to weigh up whether I could commit to a full 12-month recovery program to get my knee right," Mosquito said.
"In the end, I realised I didn't have the passion that was required to get back so it's the right time to consider life away from football.
"The club has been great with their support of me and my family, I can't thank them enough.
"I will miss my teammates and being at the club every day. I wish the boys well for next season, I'll always love this club."
Mosquito, the No.38 pick in the 2018 national draft, made his AFL debut in the round 13 Dreamtime clash against Richmond last year.
He booted two goals in that match to showcase his potential, but he added just three more games before suffering the serious knee injury.
Essendon also announced that Ned Cahill and Lachie Johnson won't be offered new contracts for next year.
BRISBANE coach Chris Fagan has quashed...

Argentine judge embargoes Chevron assets
Clean-up activites of the Amazon. Photo: ReutersBUENOS AIRES, Nov 7 (Reuters) - An Argentine judge has embargoed up to $19 billion in Chevron Corp assets in the South American country over an environmental damages lawsuit in Ecuador, a lawyer for the plaintiffs told reporters on Wednesday.
Indigenous tribes people and farmers in the Ecuadorean Amazon have sued the U.S.-based oil major in Argentina and Colombia to collect the $19 billion award.
A 2011 decision by a court in Lago Agrio, Ecuador, ordered Chevron to pay the sum as a result of water contamination and inappropriately disposing of oil industry waste during crude production in the Amazon over a period of nearly 30 years.
Because Chevron has few assets in Ecuador that can be taken as compensation, the plaintiffs are trying to get the ruling enforced in other countries.
Chevron is the fourth-largest producer of oil in Argentina. In September, it signed an accord with state-controlled YPF , Argentina's No. 1 energy company, to consider a joint exploration project.
The plaintiff's lawyer, Enrique Bruchou, said the Argentine judgment includes an embargo on 40 percent of Chevron's Argentine oil revenue.
"We consider this to be an exemplary ruling," he said. "We are letting the world know that foreign investment is welcome in Latin America, but that investors must adhere to the same environmental protection standards that apply in their own countries."
The company quickly issued a statement calling the Ecuador ruling unenforceable.
"The Ecuador judgment is a product of bribery, fraud, and it is illegitimate," the statement said. "We do not believe that the Ecuador judgment is enforceable in any court that observes the rule of law."
The plaintiffs in Ecuador deny Chevron's accusations.
All the company's operations in Argentina are conducted by subsidiaries, Chevron said.
"Plaintiffs' lawyers have no legal right to embargo subsidiary assets in Argentina and should not be allowed to disrupt Argentina's pursuit of its important energy resources," Chevron said.

Instead of the above, I would preferably like to know the git commit used to create the artifact, then I could check out that commit in my already configured IDE and/or original source directory. Is this use-case catered for?
You could use git tags to mark commits with the release number/version. Per instance, if you are releasing version 1.0.0 you can create a tag v1.0.0. sbt-release helps you to automate the process.

In the hottest weekend of the year, Trotters braved some races in the very tough conditions.
Firstly, Trotters took on the Coleton Foot Acher event on Saturday 17th June, which is a tough, 6-miler including some steep inclines and steps, starting at the National Trust's house at Coleton Fisacher. The heat was a problem for running, but the spectacular views made up for it in the second running of this event. There were some great Trotter results, with Craig Churchill claiming 1st MV35 whilst Paul Sharples claiming 1st MV60.
Full results are: Tim Pratt (4, 48:08), Garry Smart (6, 51:42), Craig Churchill (17, 1:02:45), Kevin Lofts (18, 1:03:14), Paul Sharples (21, 1:03:31), Pete Hayward (25, 1:04:50), Derek Skinner (27, 1:05:08), Kathyrn Steemson (49, 1:11:34), Stephanie Townsend (55, 1:13:23), Ruth Johnson (62, 1:15:41), Lucy Evans (67, 1:18:42), Tracey Jolly (68, 1:18:42), Kim Nichols (69, 1:18:59), Scott Stephens (71, 1:21:25), Eleanor Taylor (81, 1:29:21), Julie Webb (90, 1:41:15). There were 94 finishers.
Enigma Running held a marathon weekend, around Caldecotte Lake in Milton Keynes - the event was called Clueless. Day 1 was 7-laps clockwise around the lake, whilst Day 2 was anti-clockwise. Enigma have been organising these events for 7-years, and commented it's by far the hottest conditions they've witnessed with temperatures into the mid-30s. With clear skies and very little shade around the lake there was little respite, so runners had to take care and run accordingly, ensuring plenty of sunscreen was worn, and water taken on.
Richard Keatley did Day 1 in 5:38 (his 61st marathon), whilst Graydon Widdicombe did Day 2 in 5:09:58.
Mike Hooper's son, Toby, ran for Devon in the South West Schools Event at Exeter Arena on Saturday.
The event was the Inter Counties Athletic Championship, which covered the counties of Gloucester and Wiltshire down to Cornwall.
He competed in the Inter Boys 1500m steeplechase coming 5th in a time of 5:04, which was a 14 sec PB for him. Fifteen-year-old Toby did brilliantly as this category was for under-17 boys, so he was competing against boys a year older.
Very well done to Toby!

Justin Ravenel sets FAMU career mark for 3-point field goals
Senior shooting guard passes Terrance Woods for all-time ranking in long-range accuracy
Justin Ravenel sets FAMU career mark for 3-point field goals Senior shooting guard passes Terrance Woods for all-time ranking in long-range accuracy Check out this story on tallahassee.com: https://www.tallahassee.com/story/sports/college/famu/2019/02/24/justin-ravenel-breaks-famu-record-career-3-pointers/2967784002/
Rory Sharrock, Tallahassee Democrat Published 5:32 p.m. ET Feb. 24, 2019
Justin Ravenel is the undisputed leader of the Rattlers.
In the midst of a season-long pursuit of Florida A&M's all-time record for 3-point field goals, his mission was to post high numbers in the win column.
This team-first mentality led him to play through a normal game sequence as he stood within arm's reach of history.
Trailing 44-37 with 8:22 left in the second half of Saturday's game versus Bethune-Cookman, the senior shooting guard from Lithonia, Georgia connected from behind the arc. The shot cut the deficit to four points. It also placed him at the summit of long-range proficiency at FAMU.
Ravenel passed Terrence Woods and moved into first place on the school's all-time list with 280 made 3-point shots. The bucket elated the crowd and his teammates. However, FAMU's captain remained focused on the game plan.

"I understand already I'm going to take shots, but there's no reason to go outside what we need to do. It's about trying to win the game. Anything that's outside the line, is outside the line. There's no going one-on-one to get out the element for a record to be broken. That's not why I play basketball," Ravenel said.
The backdrop for Ravenel's historic night was complete with a reunion of Rattler legends.
At halftime, the school retired Waite Bellamy's No. 25 and Cathy Robinson's No. 33 jerseys. They became just the fourth players to receive this distinguished honor.

Bellamy and Robinson were joined by a host of former stars from various eras of FAMU basketball. Among the list of hardwood heroes was Woods, the previous 3-point record holder.
However, the career long-range champion's magical night was a bittersweet occasion. The Rattlers lost 67-54 to the arch-rival Wildcats. Ravenel finished with a team-high 19 points on 6 of 13 shooting. He was 4 of 8 from 3-point land.
Although things didn't go according to plan from a team standpoint, Ravenel was fully aware of the cultural significance inside the Lawson Center. He was awestruck from rubbing elbows with the greats of the past. They inspired him to pay it forward in the future.
"Just seeing them Friday and Saturday, I was really excited. I got to meet Terrence Woods. I've been hearing about him ever since I came here. I was really ecstatic to talk to him, more so. It was nice the former players came back and said great things about FAMU. They want to see the program grow. That's the reason I play. When I come back, I want to see the program excel. That's big to me," Ravenel said.

With the game out of reach in the closing minutes, head coach Robert McCullum emptied his bench. As Ravenel walked off the floor for his final home game, player and coach shared a long embrace of mutual admiration.
McCullum discussed being proud of him for his overall career and landmark milestone. He later mentioned his desire for Ravenel to take more scoring chances throughout the game.
"I can't tell you how many times over the course of the game I was saying shoot the ball. You have enough space. It really says a lot about him," McCullum said.
"This is how he got to this point. We called an X-number of plays for him. Everybody knows he's a marked man. He scored tonight (Saturday), but it's come like it's come all year."
During the first timeout after hitting the record-breaking basket, Woods came on the floor and signed the game ball for Ravenel.
FAMU's second-ranked 3-point scorer praised the new leader for the achievement and compiling a solid collegiate career.

"All records are to be broken. I'm glad I was able to make the trip for the reunion. I know the road he's traveled and how hard it took to get there. He shook my hand and said my bad it took me so long," Woods said.
"Hopefully, he'll come back as I did and pass it to the next guy. He reminds me a lot of myself. He has a quick release. Hopefully, he'll get a chance to play in the league or go overseas."
The Rattlers play their final two games of the season on the road at North Carolina A&T (March 2) and Bethune-Cookman (March 7).

Kent County Chief Code Enforcement officer files to run for the 30th representative district
Kristina Stull,
William "Shannon" Morris
In Delaware, the current Kent County Chief Code Enforcement officer William "Shannon" Morris has officially filed the necessary paperwork to seek the 30th Representative District seat in November.
This comes after State Representative Bobby Outten announced his retirement from the General Assembly after 14 years in office.
"I'd be honored to continue Bobby Outten's legacy in the House of Representatives," Mr. Morris said. "Given some of the things that are happening in state government, I think a viewpoint formed by conservative values is needed more than ever. I will carry on Bobby Outten's tradition of conservative values, accessibility, and service to the constituents of the 30th district."
The 43-year old life-long Delawarean is a graduate of Caesar Rodney High School and currently works for Kent County as the Chief Code Enforcement Officer.
Morris lives on land in the Willow Grove area on which his grandfather once farmed, he says, "Agriculture is the largest industry in our state….We need to protect and promote family farms, the entire agriculture industry and all businesses, small and large."
Morris will focus on small Government, controlled spending, education, public safety, protecting the 2nd Amendment and with the issues that matter deeply to his constituents.
"I will take my conservative values to Legislative Hall and be the voice of my constituents."
In addition to being president of the Delaware Building Officials Association, Mr. Morris is a member of the Lower Delaware Maryland Building Officials Association, the National Rifle Association, the Delaware State Sportsman Association, Ducks Unlimited, Masonic Lodge Union Lodge #7 and the Grand Lodge of Delaware.

UK prime minister fires his party chairman, accused of settling settled an unpaid tax bill while he was Treasury chief
11 PM Sports 01.28.23


If you have ever attended a performance by United States Air Force Thunderbirds you have seen their F-16's and comm cart adorned in the unique Thunderbird paint. Their pilots and crews in their distinctive Thunderbird flight suits and uniforms. However, chances are you have never seen this Thunderbird emblem that appears at each air show. Last summer while covering the Thunderbirds arrival at Dover Air Force Base, I stumbled upon a small red Thunderbird emblem spray painted upon the tarmac. I thought perhaps it's a tag that is a part of some long standing unit tradition. Nobody I had spoken to had ever seen it before or knew what it was. I decided to contact SSGT Tabatha McCarthy, the Thunderbirds Community Relations NCO for the answer.
SSGT McCarthy explained that the answer is quite simple. A small Thunderbird emblem is spray painted onto the tarmac for each of the six show jets to park their nose wheel on. Upon arrival at a show site the emblem is spray painted to mark where each of the jets are to be parked so they are aligned at a safe distance from wing tip to wing tip. Since I had the privilege to be at arrival day, the crowd line had not yet been established and I was standing in an area where the Thunderbird jets were about to be parked and well beyond the where the crowd stands. And sure enough when I reviewed some photos of the parked jets the red Thunderbird emblem can be seen, just barely extending out from under the nose gear wheel. And now you know.

Article: The Babalon Working I: Sub-Figura vel Liber Babalon (ca. 1998)
The BABALON Working
Sub-Figura vel Liber Babalon1
According to tradition, the Sirians who originally settled in Sumeria had cat or lion like bodies. How many hybrids and just plain humans were absorbed into the ancient culture is not exactly known. What is known is that at some time they settled into the area of Cairo and called it Babalon or Babylon which meant Baby Lyon. This city was designated as one of the Sacred Places of the Lion and it was decided that a large repository of knowledge should be constructed nearby so as to preserve their collective wisdom. This construction project turned out to be what we know today as the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx. The Great Pyramid and its satellite pyramids were designed to serve as ancient time clocks that were in synchronization with the entire cyclic nature of the universe. The Sphinx represented the goddess in the form of Bast who was also known as Babalon and eventually Isis. To reiterate what was said earlier, the names Isis and Osiris were derived from Sirius.
In the Sphinx and Great Pyramid, the Sirians illustrated the two key principles of their religion. The two aspects were connected by sacred knowledge which could be found in the Hall of Records.
Aleister Crowley was schooled in all of this information. When he slept in the Great Pyramid prior to receiving The Book of the Law, he was seeking initiation with no strings attached. Projecting himself beyond his own understanding, he had a profound experience. He connected with forms of consciousness that were not only far beyond the norm, they knew the precise mathematics of the universe and this never ceased to amaze him. The resultant effect was that he spent the rest of his life trying to explain what had happened.
Earlier, we spoke of Tetragrammaton, the magical or alchemical formula that accompanied the "first tetrahedron" of existence. The first element in alchemy or the tarot is fire and is assigned to the first point of the tetrahedron of Tetragrammaton. As fire itself forms a wave, the actual pattern of that wave is reproduced to illustrate the vortex shape that resides in the tetrahedron of Stan Tenon's work. This is identical to the ram' s horn and is also the basis of the Hebrew fire letters whereby all the letters of the alphabet could be perceived by rotating the shape within the tetrahedron. With this much symbolism encoded in one particular shape, it is easy to grasp that an energy stream of consciousness is emitted from within the geometric matrix that contains a tetrahedron or a pyramid. It is actually a conical spiral of energy which conforms to a precise mathematical formula known as the Fibonacci spiral. That this cone of energy can influx a mind with extra intelligence was illustrated in history by placing a dunce cap on a slow student. The cone on the head was supposed to make him smarter but evolved into a punishment style degradation of the student concerned. Although Crowley was not known to wear a dunce cap, he did use a magician's hat for some occasions which is really the same thing.
The fire or primal energy of Tetragrammaton that exists in the Great Pyramid was linked to the fire and passion of the Sphinx through the passageway known as the Hall of Records. The Sphinx represents the lustful and unrestricted loins of Bast but also the intelligent female Virgo (known to the Romans as Diana, Goddess of the Moon) who transmutes the lower energies into the higher form. In other words, she could tap into the Hall of Records. When Crowley performed sexual magick, he was often trying to tap into the higher consciousness portrayed in the Hall of Records. He was using the lower energies to tap the higher.
The Great Pyramid itself is a very curious structure for many different reasons. One of its more intriguing features is that it is not a symmetrical polygon. In other words, if you consider the Great Pyramid to be the upper half of an octahedron, you would expect two angles at the base of each triangular surface to measure 60′ each. This is not the case. The angles at the base of each triangle are 51.51′. This means that the pyramid has been squashed. In other words, you would get the same result if you took a perfectly symmetrical octahedron and pushed the top and bottom towards the center. The angles would shift under the force exerted. The reason for this is that the Earth itself is not a perfect sphere. It is a spheroid, i. e. it looks like a tangerine. What this is telling us is that the matrix lines which make up the blueprint for the Earth are not perfectly symmetrical either. They may have been in their original condition, but whenever the Earth was squashed into a spheroid or otherwise assumed that particular shape, the corresponding grid lines assumed the shape of the Earth and were distorted accordingly. The 51.51′ angles of the Great Pyramid correspond exactly to the geometric distortion of the Earth from a sphere to its current shape. What this means is that whoever built the Great Pyramid knew the exact shape of the Earth's grid.
There is another interesting aspect when you consider the angles of the Great Pyramid. When it was in its heyday, the pyramid was encased in limestone which is really just calcium carbonate. If you put this chemical under a microscope and apply a protractor to what you see, you will discover that calcium carbonate also consists of two 51.51′ angles at the base of each triangular molecule. In other words, the molecules in the limestone facing of the pyramid were mirroring the very shape of the Great Pyramid which mimics the Earth's grid itself. Taking this a step further, calcium carbonate is what human bones are made of. This is why the dead bones of the Montauks were so important to tapping into the grid. The geometry of the bones was in complete resonance to the pyramidal structure of the grid. Of course, all human bones have this property. They resonate energy which can include consciousness as well. And if you don' t believe that bones can influence consciousness, try scaring the living daylights out of somebody through the use of a skeleton. Actually, you shouldn't. It works only too well.
In his different works, Crowley hints that he knew these various aspects of the Great Pyramid and its energies. Using this, along with his other knowledge which included an extensive study of the Sumerians, he created specific rituals that were designed not only to reach other planes of consciousness but to communicate with unseen worlds by every conceivable means. This was very much intended to include aliens.
In 1918, Crowley began a sexual magick operation with a lady in New York by the name of Roddie Minor. It was known as the Amalantrah Working and was done just a few months before he spent the summer at Montauk Point. One of the main features in this working was the symbolism of the egg. They were told, "it' s all in the egg". This corresponds exactly to the sacred geometry precepts given earlier in this book. The egg is the first sphere of existence and all the potential that unfolds thereafter. The entity contacted was LAM and an artistic rendering of him by Crowley looks hauntingly familiar to the gray aliens we have all heard so much about. LAM's bulbous head has the shape of an egg.
Documents of the OTO indicate that LAM is the Tibetan word for Way or Path and that a LAMA is "He who Goeth". The Tibetan connection appearing in Crowley's work just before he traveled to Montauk is interesting and should be noted. Earlier, we defined the Tibetan word "mantak" as clarity or understanding. In the Amalantrah Working, Crowley was told "Thou art to go this Way". It is easy to associate LAM with Montauk although the connection warrants further research. But it is certain that Montauk does connect to Tibet, not only through the word "mantak" but by virtue of the German connection mentioned earlier in this book.
Of additional interest concerning LAM is that it is a Celtic word for door jam and implies a stop on the path as opposed to a pathway. There is also an ancient land in present day Iraq that was known as Elam. It is located on the northeast banks of the Tigris River at the beginning of the Persian Gulf. The language spoken in Elam was a curiosity as it had no known relationship with any other language.
There is also current interest in LAM today. The OTO has founded a Cult of Lam for their members who are drawn to this entity and want to use the egg as an astral space-capsule for traveling to LAM's domain and for tantric time traveling.
The main point concerning LAM is that Crowley was contacting an extraterrestrial entity who had links to almost every aspect we' ve studied. The idea that Crowley continued to function in some aspect of LAM after his death in 1947 is a possibility especially when you consider that is the year when the rash of UFO sightings began.
The year 1947 has an amazing correspondence in itself and that has to do with a major grid point that has been found to exist on different planets. It was discovered that Cydonia, the region of Mars that houses the face and the pyramids, rests at 19.47′ from the equator. The same can be said for the whirling red spot on Jupiter and a similar area found on Neptune. On our planet Earth, pyramids are exact at 19.47′ north of the equator on the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico. I have also been informed by someone who just recently visited the island of Hawaii that pyramids have been found there but are covered with jungle vegetation. They are at 19.47′ north of the equator as well.
None of this proves that Aleister Crowley or his death in 1947 is responsible for the UFO sightings since that time period, but many people have noticed and commented upon it along with the UFO crash at Roswell, New Mexico that occurred in the same year. Actually, Crowley's death occurred on December 1st which was well after the Roswell incident. Of course, we could argue that he was weak and dying and that was why the military in New Mexico were able to shoot down "his" flying saucers with their SAGE Radar. That is an unlikely scenario, but whatever the case is with Crowley, it is undeniable that he deeply influenced another magician who has been inextricably linked to aliens, the CIA and Montauk. That man is Jack Parsons and his grand experiment was in 1946.
Jack Parsons was described in Montauk Revisited as having conducted a sexual magick experiment that has been hailed by some as the magical experiment of the century. This activity was done in conjunction with two magicians who were part of the Wilson Clan: Marjorie Cameron and L. Ron Hubbard. The experiment was called the Babalon Working and was designed to invoke the Mother Goddess in her crowning glory: she who is called Babalon.
I have done a considerable amount of research into Jack Parsons since Montauk Revisited was published. He deserves an entire book and only a very brief summary of what I've found can be included here.
Jack was a cofounder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and his innovations in rocketry made our space program a reality. He died officially on June 17, 1952 as the result of a chemical explosion in his laboratory, but a search through all the newspapers and a talk with his wife and a friend revealed mysterious circumstances. His wife, Marjorie Cameron, arrived after the explosion but before the ambulance had left. The attendants would not let her ride in the ambulance nor was she allowed to see him in the hospital. What is most outrageous is that the police violated standard procedure when they omitted asking her to identify the body. She was Jack's next of kin as his mother was declared dead from suicide after hearing the report that Jack had died. Neither Cameron nor George Frey, who took care of Jack's cremation, saw the actual dead body. Further, the newspaper accounts are filled with suspicious characters and accounts. The death of Virginia Parsons, Jack's mother, had equally bizarre circumstances surrounding it.
I asked the Pasadena police department if I could look at the file for the case. They said it was old and that I should write to the microfiche department. If it wasn't sealed, I should be able to review it. I wrote them a letter requesting permission to review the relevant files and after a long delay, I was told that the file was purged from their system. I do know that the FBI watched his every move. Maybe somebody will provide that file someday.
While the circumstances surrounding Jack's death are a mystery, his magical career is not so murky. He was perhaps more passionate and dedicated to the Mother Goddess than any popular magician of the century. Crowley and Jack did not see eye to eve about the Babalon Working. Crowley was at the end of his life and Jack was playing the part of the wayward and rebellious son. According to reports, Crowley wrote him off as a failure, but he did leave a door open. He said that he hadn't received an expected report from Parsons and that a final conclusion would have to remain open.
When Jack conducted the Babalon Working in 1946, he invoked the goddess Babalon and sought to bring an end to the tyranny which had dominated mankind during the dark yuga. That he at least had an idea of what he was doing can be seen by virtue of the yantra he used. A yantra is a two dimensional glyph that is designed to evoke a fourth dimensional experience. It is a common device in magick, yoga and other meditative arts. The yantra that was used for the Babalon Working was the seven pointed star and has been reproduced on the following page [see the A:.A:. Logo which accompanies this series]. Note that the seven letters of Babalon fit into the triangles. In this glyph, all the angles are designed to be 51.51′. These are the same angles of the Great Pyramid of Giza which found their numerical value as a result of the pyramid being structured so as to be in harmony with the Earth's grid. If you multiply 51.51 by seven, you get 360.57, the approximate length of an ancient calendar year. It was by this means that the Babalon workers (Jack, Ron and Cameron) were plugging into the consciousness of the time line. What happened to the participants after they entered their altered states of consciousness is still anyone's guess. But, they did project themselves out of this reality and the consequent result and synchronicity of the act has led in no small part to the writing of this book.
Cameron has said that the operation changed Jack and Ron Hubbard forever. They were never quite the same. After recovering from a paralysis on his right side (as a result of the working), Hubbard eventually accessed incredible genius and a considerable amount of energy. Most of this was channeled into the Dianetics and Scientology movement. He had people doing regressions on alien implants forty years before it became vogue.
Parsons took a different route. Always considered a security risk by the military industrial complex, he continued his pursuit of magick. He had completed the Babalon Working ritual itself, but the consequent chain reactions and results still had to reach their appointed conclusions.
Concerning the Babalon Working, Jack wrote a statement to the effect that he would be consumed by the fire. Whether he meant this in an allegorical or real sense, we don't know. It was said in honor of Babalon and he was willing to serve as the supreme sacrifice. Just a few months before his reported death, he foresaw that some kind of end was near. He knew that this end could mean physical death and he didn't rule it out.
There is yet a greater mystery that has been overlooked by many. Although Jack was on the outs with the OTO after the Babalon Working, he had obtained the Ninth Degree in the order. In order to progress beyond that grade, one has to give up their identity. There is no question that this was accomplished. Whether he assumed a secret identity within the confines of the secret government or simply died is not known. That he might have died physically is rather insignificant in the higher scheme of things. But, he did change his identity. Jack Parsons has been legally dead for forty years.
Another fact about Jack that is often overlooked or not mentioned is that he was not only a member of the OTO but was a member of the A:.A:. No mention is ever made of him having ever fallen out of grace with that particular order which is, of course, the Illuminati. What is of further interest in this regard is that Cameron once told me that she gave Jack's birth time to some of the top astrologers in Southern California. They told her his chart indicated he was or could be the real head of the CIA.
As Crowley and Parsons were both members of the Illuminati, we have to take a look at what the organization is and what it actually represents. From what has been said already, we know that it is related to Sirius. There are also countless books and conspiracy theories on the subjects According to the dictionary, the Illuminati refers to those of a secret society who profess to have special intellectual or spiritual enlightenment.
Let us next consider what happens when someone achieves a brilliant illumination and transcends all experience known. He goes into another dimension and basically understands the entire picture of creation. This is sometimes referred to as a kundalini experience or tapping into the universal consciousness. There are, of course, many types and variations of illuminations. I am referring to a particularly grand one. When one achieves such a state, he is still left with the predicament of relating to the Earth plane which has its share of imperfection and turmoil. If one person achieves such a state, it does not automatically transfer to the entire human race.
All of this catapults us right into the war of consciousness. There are those of us who want to be more aware and expand the consciousness across the entire parameters of existence. There are also those who want to limit such activity. Splendorous and gigantic scenarios can be recognized or imagined that pit various secret groups against one another.
Most important to our investigation, Aleister Crowley and Jack Parsons were plugged into a tradition that identified with the Illuminati and sought to expand consciousness. Whether their activities were good or bad is not the point. Both of their writings reflect the fact that they were warriors for consciousness. Those who decried them seemed to be on the other side of the coin.
Aleister Crowley's goal was to set occult forces in motion that would result in the illumination of all by the end of this century. Jack Parsons followed in the same tradition but the circumstances of his death at a young age leave a different enigma. We are forced to consider whether he lived and has orchestrated forces in a super secret capacity or whether he died and did the same thing from the spirit world. The bottom line is that his magick has reverberated and created effects beyond his own ordinary mortal means. Both men encountered dark forces in their work and neither were afraid to deal with them. They have also chosen dark vehicles by which to communicate. But, ultimately, what did they communicate? That all creation manifests from the light, also defined as the electromagnetic spectrum which is just another word for Mother Nature.
Crowley offered us all a clue when he announced he wouldn't officially assume the name "Phoenix" until the work was completed. In this regard, the true Phoenix Project would be to redeem mankind by purging the forces of ignorance and oppression that have ruled during the last 13,000 years.
Armageddon awaits us all, but not in the sense it has been perpetrated on us by the merchants of fear and those with ulterior motives. For each of us, it will be a personal encounter, if it hasn't been encountered already. In one corner will be the Christ with all the angelic forces he can muster. In the other, will be the Antichrist with his demons.

Dans Immobilité (Extraterrestrial Glitch Remix), un film créé à l'aide d'un téléphone cellulaire, Mark Amerika poursuit l'aventure d'un tournage sans scénario. Il laisse l'improvisation dessiner la diégèse. Acteur majeur de la culture Remix américaine, Amerika compose avec l'esthétique accidentée du glitch informatique et du Video Jockey.
The move back into glitch is intentional. I have been playing with glitch aesthetics for over a decade and, I guess it could be said that I was practicing a form of glitch writing in my first novel The Kafka Chronicles (1993). Just read the 1998 "To Do" section that I remixed awhile back for the adaweb website in response to a series of identity hacks performed on artists and curators such as myself.
Some big news: my co-commissioned artwork for the AND festival in conjunction with the London 2012 Olympics is a go and will also heavily play with glitch aesthetics, although I'll save the details for an appropriate posting later in the year. As always with my large scale digital art commissions, I will start by developing the source material as I travel the world. For this artwork, the places I'll be using for locations shoots include Colorado, London, the NW region of the UK, Portland, Salvador-Bahia, Rio, Istanbul, New York, Sydney, Melbourne and, of course, Hawaii. It will be a busy time (clocking up the frequent flyer miles) and will happen in conjunction with both preplanned and improvised production shoots, a smattering of keynotes/lectures/workshops, and ad hoc postproduction studio "visitations" wherever these facilities may be. I also hope to use this nomadic "artworlding" to read from and/or perform excerpts from remixthebook (University of Minnesota Press, September 2011).

"Adam Lambert's Upcoming GLAAD Award is a Joke" Says South Florida Gay News
April 19, 2013 by Carol
Remember as far back as last weekend, when Miami welcomed Adam Lambert with the key to the city and was their headliner at the Gay Pride festival?
The publisher of the same South Florida newspaper that gave us the wonderful video interview that we posted with Adam and also broke the story of Adam Lambert and Sauli Koskinen's break up, is now throwing dirt on Adam, saying his upcoming media award from GLAAD is a joke. In this attached editorial piece from South Florida Gay News, publisher Norm Kent uses very inflammatory language, all to cast shadow on the legitimacy of Adam being honored so early in his career by GLAAD. He is so disapproving of a young star receiving this, and accuses GLAAD of choosing Adam merely as a way to "fill the seats and make money for GLAAD at its annual fundraising dinner."
After reading this poorly researched piece on Adam, I now understand more of what I've heard about how gays don't support each other. This outtake talks about how Adam became a national star on American Idol: "As obvious as it was that he was gay, he also remained in the closet during his meteoric rise to stardom while on the TV show." I know! I know! I can hear you screaming from my computer desk! There's no way that Adam tried to hide anything on Idol! He was the most stylized male contestant ever to appear on the stage and and even sang Cher's Believe early in the competition. If that didn't scream "gay" I don't know what did! But the final example of irresponsible reporting was the statement that Adam remained in the closet on Idol. We've heard a hundred times that contestants weren't allowed to have any contact with outside media. What was he supposed to do? Put an "I'm gay" sign on his back, right above his cat o' 9 tails during Ring of Fire?!?! The moment he came off Idol, he was right on the cover of Rolling Stone, singing his "outness" to the world.
Kent seems just as upset that after the article was published about Adam and Sauli's break-up, their servers crashed. "Because after Parsley's story on Lambert's boy breakup went online at SFGN.com, it was picked up first by Lambert's groupies and within hours a slew of entertainment and gossip sites had picked up the story and linked back to us. Our servers could not handle the traffic." Oh, heaven forbid. This publication has received more hits and traffic than ever before. The shame. More like your welcome, for now you know how badly you needed an upgrade!
After the scathing editorial on Adam appeared, the South Florida Gay News tweeted:
Adam Lambert fans, please do not mistake the view of our publisher with the view of SFGN as a whole.

But please remember, thank goodness we live in a free country where we are all allowed to express our opinions and live the life we choose. I even enjoyed reading many of the two camps' comments after these articles. If there's anything that will make you laugh, it's seeing how passionate both sides are!

About Carol
I started writing on this site back in May 2009, not knowing what I was in for or where it would take me. I had no idea of the joy and personal satisfaction I'd find here. I never dreamed that I'd get to meet Adam, but that dream came true! The bonus of becoming such great friends with Lila and the other fans is what keeps me going. Music gets me though every day. In addition to Adam, I love Muse, Linkin Park, 80s and finding newer bands and supporting them by attending everything that's within 350 miles. With Adam, the boundaries are farther! Thanks for joining us on this ride! :)

I wrote several comments to that article saying much of what you said Carol. I think the guy was just trying to get hits again. Doesn't matter because he was bombarded with negative comments. I think he learned his lesson.
Carol, after reading all the responses to Kent's article { filled with jealousy and hate,in my humble opinion,} it's very obvious that the only JOKE is the publisher himself. It makes me sad that some in the LGBTQ community don't realize what a special and unique advocate Adam Lambert is, for the causes and rights they have been struggling so long and hard for. I have faith in Adam–he continues to rise above all the ugliness and exhibits a courage only few dare to embrace.

who is this publisher, had his head stuck up someones arse, biggest load of shit I've ever read……I agree with you Lorraine, Carol & Glamity. I'm an AL nutter, and he gets me through my day, everyday, each song means something different to all of us; and have been lucky enough for a M&G and that photo I keep proudly with me at all times, and don't need encouraging to show it to peeps……and I'm a Nana (gran) rofl….
Everything i read he was already out and seen no reason to beat a dead horse.

I would not give this guy the satisfaction or another hit on his site. He sound like a jerk just looking for attention. Of course he really does not know the Adam we do. I started to read some of the comments and then I wanted to tell him off myself but that's what he wants…what a as#@#@@!!!!! I hope his site crashes and burns!!!!
