Beginnings.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Bend,_Ohio
John Scott Harrison is the only man in U.S. history to be the son of a president and the father of a president. He was born in North Bend and is buried in his father’s vault in North Bend.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Bend,_Washington
North Bend is a city in King county, Washington, United States. The town was made famous by David Lynch’s television series Twin Peaks (also filmed in nearby Snoqualmie.)

Bracket J.:
I get it. It’s from 1Pink. Pennsylvania is 1Pink.
Hucka D.:
Yes. That’s something I wanted to talk to you about when you weren’t home the other day. I couldn’t have *seen* you but I could have spoken to you still. I wanted to explain about 1Pink. Hatch… Seal.
Bracket J.:
What?
Hucka D.:
Never mind, Long Way. You’re here now. And that’s what counts.
Bracket J.:

Dart:
Refers to the dartboard game of The Shining and the (one of the?) 3 red darts Danny throws at it in the Game Room scene during the Closing Day part of the movie.
http://idyllopuspress.com/idyllopus/film/remembrance_and_repetition_in_kubricks_the_shining.htm
3 Shining darts and 3 U.S. darts (Alabama, Missouri, and this one in Ohio) — coincidence? The dartboard has already been assoc. here with Room 237 through reverse number 732.
Is Dart, Ohio the dart Danny leaves on the board or is it one of the 2 he pulls from the board just before seeing the Grady Twins for the first time? Notice that 2 darts he’s thrown point up, and the third, at the bottom, points down (to Hell?)
Shay:
I believe this refers to the “sha” ambient sounds in the movie remarked upon by several Shining researchers and called that specifically by Juli Kearns of Idyllopus Press. There is no “Sha” place name in U.S., and Shay’s about as close as you’d get, I’d suppose.
Additional note: There are also 3 Shays, like there are 3 Darts in US. 1 of 2 other Shays near Hellman in OK (see Fifteen below).
Fay, Shley:
Back up Shay as rhyming neighbors. Fay also goes into interesting directions of its own. (LINK) Fay is a witness.
Fifteen:
I believe this refers to the tarot card The Devil, the 15th Major Arcana card of the deck. Remember that Jack obviously poses as The Devil in the photo at the end of the movie. Fifteen represents the end of The Shining as well, then, the entrapment of Jack within the hotel forever and ever and ever (as the Grady Twins predicted).
Very importantly here: Jack is also the Dark Man.
In the Tarot of Marseilles, the devil is portrayed with facial features in unusual places, such as a mouth on his stomach, eyes on his knees…
Steel Run, Moss Run, Cow Run:
I do not presently know their relevance here, if any. Perhaps interesting run of Runs, however (sorry).
Heslop:
Ditto. Seems like an anagram of something. But it’s actually a British surname. Heslop might go in several directions as well.

Obviously not as interesting on the surface as the MASH-Pennsylvania material reviewed previously on this blog in December. But let’s look a little closer. Let’s assume Shay represents the “sha” ambient sound of The Shining. Here’s what master researcher Juli Kearns has to say about it. Before getting to that, I’d put forth the idea that the “sha” sounds dictate almost another plot within the movie. Personally I’ve never heard of anything quite like it. When I found Dart, Ohio and Shay nearby, I immediately made the connection to The Shining noise. But to the quote:
http://idyllopuspress.com/idyllopus/film/shining_interview.htm
Jack has glanced in the direction of a model of the hotel’s maze as he crossed the circle upon which Dick will later fall when he is murdered by Jack, who will have been hiding in the lobby behind a pillar. The waiter and his silver service just disappearing from sight, perhaps behind a pillar, seems to be a foreshadowing of this. He would not be so completely hidden by the pillar, with his tray, had this not been staged.
Just a step beyond the circle, Jack’s glance moves up to the stairs on the right, briefly meeting that of a hotel employee who is coming down the steps. This is the stairway Jack will, in the “4 pm” section, use on his approach to the lobby in the scene where he murders Dick. As his glance meets the woman’s, he crosses the spot where Dick will be standing when Jack leaps out from behind the nearby pillar and kills him.
At the same time we are taking in an elevator beyond, before which stands a man who carries a wrapped pole of sort, perhaps a fishing pole as he carries a hat which is typically used for fishing. We can tell he’s a new arrival as the red-coated valet behind him is porting his bags.
Two other things happen as Dick crosses this fatal spot. An elder man in light clothing has entered the area before the elevators from the hall beyond. This same man will later be seen examining the maze.
(3:27 crossing into 3:28) The second thing that happens is a subtle audio cue. We hear a brief, staccato voicing of “sha” which, at this point, we take as being part of the natural ambient noise of the lodge. I will write more about this voicing later. It’s enough now to note that it has meaning, expanding in some way on the action which will later occur on this spot, action which is already being anticipated.
So the first “sha” of the movie sounds right as Jack crosses the spot where he’ll later kill Halloran (Scatman Cruthers). Kearns states this happens at 3:27 in the movie, and associates it with an anagram of 237, like the dartboard’s 732. It’s at 3:26 by my player, but maybe she has a point there as well. Now let’s move to the *last* appearance of “sha” in the movie, a little over 48 minutes later. Shawnfella, creator of the Shone Report video on the subject, claims there are 16 instances of the sound in the movie. Clearly, however, there’s more than that, and Kearns adds a couple of her own. But these 2 “sha” researchers agree on what appears to be the last one. Let’s check out Juli’s take on this:
http://idyllopuspress.com/idyllopus/film/shining_saturday.htm
First, I want to note a similarity between Wendy removing a red line twice from the switchboard (2 tests) and Danny removing the 2 red tipped darts earlier in the film. Just a note.
And another note before I get to the final “sha” stuff….
Coincidentally, as Wendy crosses over the circle where Dick is to die, an oval flaw appears in the film stock on the wall to the left, white enclosing a tan field. I saw this because I paused the film to get a shot that showed the television was on but we’re unable to see what is playing, and for the brief period of time it is shown whatever is on the screen appears static and isn’t moving.
To me, this could be the seed point for another whole “sha” style mystery about the film, since it occurs when Wendy crosses the very same place (death spot of Halloran) as Jack does during “The Interview” when the first “sha” occurs. Doesn’t seem coincidence (once more).
This scene is the last, to my knowledge, in which we hear the “sha” sound. As the conversation in which we hear it has to do with the lines being down–Wendy asking if there’s any chance of repair and the “sha” being heard before the ranger answers–my assumption is going to be that the “sha” sound somehow has to do with this and the lodge’s status of CRM-114, as it were, of estrangement, of being cut off, just as was the jet carrying the bomb cut off from the outside world in Dr. Strangelove, and Alex was separated out for the Ludovico treatment then cut off and shunned. The “sha” sounds may stop as a state of some degree of irreversibility has been reached. The Torrances, previous to now, perhaps had the possibility of leaving the lodge without a catastrophic incident occurring, whereas that is no longer the situation.
After finding out the lines are down when she can’t reach anyone at the switchboard, Wendy moves to the ham radio in Ullman’s Office and calls the forest service. The last sha occurs right after Wendy (KDK12) asks if there’s any chance of the phone lines being repaired, and before the young ranger (KDK1) replies that he doesn’t think so, and often the lines stay like that until Spring. Not a hopeful situation for Wendy.
Some notes, then. The first apparently “sha” of the movie, besides sounding right at the Halloran death spot, also occurs in the middle of a phone ring. The last “sha” here is placed in the middle of a conversation about downed phone lines. Must be a relationship, and the clincher for this is that a phone has *just disappeared* in the movie beside this young ranger in his office, and replaced by a blue notebook. The white sheet on the bulletin board in front of him, at the same time, is replaced by a pink sheet. These are *not* continuity errors but rearranged on purpose by master manipulator Kubrick. What’s he up to here???
Danny originally shines in the movie during the dart game when he first sees The Twins.
And what lake is that between Shine and The Twins? It’s Teal, but who could tell from this map. May be *Pearl*?
Nearby is Ta(r)boo Bay…

The cat topped City Hall now becomes a recognized, direct symbol of Shiny Hare, which is the same as Carrcass-10 I suppose.
The cat has shiny hare, as I’m now changing it — right now.
The cat is also Catman, sacrificed at the end of the film. The City Hall honors Catman like this article honors The Shining’s Scatman.
If City Hall is this Carrcass-10, the VWX Tower perpendicular to it and 3 times as long is the joint Carrcass 8 and Carrcass 9. Carrcass 10 can be fitted in the middle of the two, as City hall lines up with the middle of VWX Tower in an overhead view below… and also the side view above as it turned out…
I know Hucka D. would agree with this interpretation, since he’s called the VWX Tower an audiovisual tiling, and challenged me to guess what that means.
VWX Tower is towering, just like joined or twinned Carrcass-8 and Carrcass-9. It is a towering tiling, the best at least since 2007. 2013 was a good year for carrcasses, just as 1996 was for crop circles. Tilings are much like crop circles — I’ve long noticed that.
Since 2008, going back again, the most recent carrcass or carrcass to come rules the blog and influences its ideas in a hidden but super-strong way. A nice example is the Sunklands writing of Fall 2009 on the Baker Blinker Blog, culminating with the production of Carrcass-3 using the work of the very same Plant and Marty that were prominent guest spirits on the blog during this period. After Carrcass-3 had been created, these spirits were no longer as essential. Spirits related to *Carrcass-4* then took over, which takes us to Fall 2010 Pietmond. Another interesting example is the very beginning of the Baker Blinker Blog, where we have the otherwise inexplicable intrusion of creatures called Ancients, like Baker Block’s Mr. Low, like Shakenstein that similarly tormented and cursed poor Baker Blinker. Many blog posts could be devoted to this subject alone. The whole run of A-Z posts from Fall 2009 are a lot about Carrcass-1, the first such work formed during the existence of my blogs.
Why does this influence have to remain basically hidden if it is so prevalent, the reader or readers might be asking at this time? A good question indeed. Hucka D. usually helps me out here (pause) but I don’t think he’s still around.
Hucka D.:
Hi. Sorry I had to step out but I had to buy more playdough for my models. Have you seen them? Red, then green, then blue and yellow. Or green, red… aw, they’re pretty anyway.
bb:
Are you talking about the VWX Town towers?
Hucka D.:
No. (pause) But good you figured out what they were, what they stand for. And now you’re in the woods, which is a seed of a new carrcass, beyond even Carrcass 8, 9, 10. This is a mashup. And the new, accompanying collage series will be Farrar — don’t you think?
bb:
Possibility, Hucka D. (!)
Hucka D.:
And that’s why The Shining material is so prevalent in the blog now. Your blog now. It is the Omega to the Alpha which is Oz. You have reached the end of tiling as you’ve come to know it. Other people tile now, as you know. Simpler tiles, because you are the master of tiling. You know that.
bb:
Yeah, I suppose.
Hucka D.:
The new master structures of VWX Town simply mirror this mastering. Yet you don’t have a big head about it.
Good to recognize, however. Now you must start to protect[ what you’ve done].
bb:
Yes.

Hucka D.:
You must head out into the *real* woods and leave the play[dough] woods behind. Else you become a Jack Frozen Head, see.
bb:
Kind of.
Hucka D.:
Do you want the Rubi Woods to absorb you? Your back is getting healed. A 237 healing. Pull away from the dart board. Stop looking into the mirror. See the twins *out there*. Turn around. Face music. Enjoy!

Danny tries the knob twice. The door is locked. Taking his hand down, he looks up at the number 237. This number is on the left hand side of the door, whereas all the other double doors in these halls have the room number on the right hand door.
The Shining – Danny looking up at the door before he sees the girls
Fig. 22 – Danny looks up at the number.190 MS The two girls. (42:44) A vision of the two girls glances through his mind.
The Shining – Danny sees the girls in the hall as he looks up at 237
Fig. 23 – Danny sees the two girls.It is when Danny looks at the number 237 that the girls glance through his mind, just as they had appeared when he was in the game room and playing darts, facing the 732 (237 in reverse) on the dart board.

Jack looks down on The Overlook’s model of its maze just like Second Lyfe avatars can look down on the labyrinthine Rubi Forest either directly (flying) or using distant vision.
But then the maze model inexplicably enlarges as we see down through Jack’s eyes in the movie, mirroring itself in all viewable directions. This reminds me that the Rubi Woods was supposedly part of the much larger Sylver Forest in Ancient or Pre-Linden times.
Jack is becoming absorbed into the past of the Overlook Hotel. Remember The Maze is also a mirror of The Hotel. The past for us, the reader and caretaker of this blog, is the Sylver Forest. Will we become similarly absorbed, as Jack did at the end of The Shining? The Maze took him away forever and ever and ever. He became just a frozen head in the then *present*…
… but, at the same “time”, a member of “all the best people” in 1921.
“You’ve always been the caretaker.”
Gila 09 represents the two halves of “Dark Man” ending Shiny Hare. “Hucka D., can we speak about that now?”
Hucka D.:
A little. The picture on the easel is part 1 of 2, the picture on the wall of the gallery is part 2 of 2, yes. Jack of The Shining is at the end. Same as the frozen Marty [ McCartney] head, yes. Yes. (pause)
bb:
Thanks for showing up in my blog this morning, Hucka D. We are trying to resurrect the past. Is this a good thing?
Hucka D.:
Yes. (pause) In this case, in your case. A positive 237, a healing 237.
bb:
We track down the road in the easel picture, which then continues in the wall picture. This is just like the long tracking shot ending The Shining, ending with Jack at the photograph. The wall picture I mean. The easel represents Catman entering The Hotel, and then being cut or sacrificed. The ax cut by Jack, essentially cutting Catman in two, is also like the edit cut of “Dark Man”.
Catman is physically a “Dark Man”, but also the Dark Man becomes Jack psychologically because he kills. He *replaces* the physical Dark Man by being a psychological double. Dark is not necessarily bad, although society likes to deem it such. But [psychological] evil dark is obviously kind of bad. Was I speaking your words, Hucka? (pause) Hucka?

More twins from the collage before Gila 09 discussed in the Wendy-Danny Trees post just below, in this case Frank Zappa and Ringo Starr from the movie 200 Motels.*
Like the Grady Twins and Wendy-Danny from The Maze, they appear to be holding hands, or perhaps sharing one hand between them (Ringo’s left, Frank’s right). In the collage, they jointly start at a miniature version of the Marge beech grove positioned atop two opposing heads that are pressed together by two giant fingers. These fingers, along with a more realistic presentation of Marge, reappear in the following Gila collage already under discussion: “Head Inside”.
It also seems important to mention here that a mirroring crop circle (another twin!) appeared beside this beech grove’s twin Patty (*another* twin!) shortly after Edna and I returned from England this past summer. Never had a crop circle formed nearly this close to Marge before, nor her sister groves Patty and Selma. Just to note that all of these groves appear near each other on the same ridge, and are all basically convey the same shape, size and appearance.
Now the current state of “Head Inside,” newly reinstalled in Fal Mouth Moon. As you can see, the projecting dogwood branch doesn’t really do any aesthetic harm to the collage, and even adds to it in ways. Note that it appears to, by virtue of its 3-dimensionality, *block* Baker Bloch’s vision of McCartney’s head within Marge.
The truncated column in the back of the Table House discussed in the first post on this subject is found to exist at the very corner of VWX Town, Essence, or just within the part of the town that will be kept in January. A meter or two south or west and the column would lie within VWX Town, Indulgence, the part that is to be abandoned. Note also that the southernmost or “5th” column lies in VWX Town, Indulgence. 4 will remain; the 5th will not.
I also think this “missing” column represents the missing 199th tree of the Rubi Forest, the one that, when removed, makes its Lucas sequence resonance harder to identify. This was done on purpose — by The Woods itself?

* See here for strange tie-in between this movie and Cube-Brick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey:
http://globalia.net/donlope/fz/videography/200_Motels.html
The 2001: A Space Odyssey Monolith
From: Patrick NeveI just snagged this neat-o little piece of trivia from the internet movie database. Anyone know if it’s true? Where exactly does it appear?
200 Motels Trivia: Filmed in the same studio as 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). The black monolith from that film is visible.
From: Clyde200
Yep… I’ve wondered about it too. Although it’s been quite awhile since I last viewed the movie … I can see Ringo (with the lamp) and Theo. B. in front of the object which is on the right of the screen.
From: OnlytheSky
Not to mention during Penis Dimension sequence Dick Barber-as-the-vacuum- cleaner shoots a wad at it.
From: Patrick Neve
Oh, that’s it. I also just spotted it in Don Preston’s laboratory as he pushes the vile foamy liquids onto the unsuspecting Martin Lickert.
From: TTrocc7007
In the complete (unfilmed: see True Story Of 200 Motels for details) version of the original shooting script for 200 Motels, we actually see the monolith quite a bit more. It looms throughout. At the very end of the film (as written), the extreme close-up of FZ’s eye is supposed pull back so that we see the monolith behind him. As the monolith comes into focus we see for the first time that it is in fact FZ’s Marshall amp and speaker cabinet stack! He reaches over, flicks the stand-by switch, and the credits roll.
From: Patrick Neve
Very interesting.. Does that in any way discredit the “trivia” that the monolith in the movie is the one from 2001? Sounds like it may have been kicking around the studio so he wrote it into the script. Yes?
From: TTrocc7007
It sorta sounds logical that way until you realize that the script had to completed well in advance of shooting. It is possible an early trip to Pinewood studios WELL in advance of the shoot date may have turned up the slab, but I expect it was written and concieved BEFORE the excursion to the UK for actual shooting.
From: Jason M Arvey
A long time ago, someone asked a trivia question about the cover of 200 Motels, essentially looking for the three elements on the cover that are references to other films. I effectively found The Shadow above the newt on the building on the left hand side of the cover/poster. At the time, I had noticed a fetus sucking its thumb just to the right of The Shadow, but didn’t know what to make of it; I knew it wasn’t from 200 Motels, but couldn’t place it. Well, I looked back on the poster today, and, shucky- darn, if that ain’t the Monolith from 2001 sitting right there behing the penis dimension march.
Wendy, left, and Danny, right from Square C3. I thought of naming these trees the Grady Trees or the Grady Twins (Gwady Twees?), but the sizes are too unequal, even given that the Grady Twins in The Shining aren’t *exactly* the same size. Close, but not the same. No, this appears more like the size difference between Danny and his mother Wendy in the film. The link is that Danny-Wendy hold hands in The Maze like the Grady Twins do in The Hotel, and it’s obvious that Kubrick (Cube Brick) wanted the two pairs associated through similar set motifs, etc. So the Rubi Forest trees are not the Grady Trees or some variation thereof, but the infamous Shining twins are implied because of this link with Wendy-Danny.
The Grady Twins, in their final appearance in the movie, implore Danny to play with them, “forever, and ever, and ever.” The Overlook Maze trapped Jack at the end forever and ever and ever, and almost did the same to Danny (if Jack would have caught him). But The Maze is a reflection of the neighboring Overlook Hotel and its own maze-like corridors, as designed by Kubrick. Cube Brick. The Maze resonates its energy into The Hotel and visa versa. They too hold hands in a manner, bigger to smaller.
As I studied the trees, different faces emerged than what I saw before through Baker Bloch and Edwardston Resident.
Wendy-Danny from overhead.
Almost directly south of the forest’s Wendy-Danny trees stands the truncated 4th column of 5 holding up the eloganted back of the Table House. During VWX Town’s first days, this was done to make room for Piedpot, then existing directly underneath it and also at the end of the straight portion of 1st Stream or Edward’s Stream. Both the columns surrounding this truncated 4th (3rd and 5th, then), are also floating, like the Danny tree in the forest directly north. Is this synchronicity? Do the 5 columns stands for the 5 rows of 1024 squares in the Rubi Forest? Columns are, after all, paired (“hold hands”) with rows as well (!). What does the missing or truncated 4th column mean, then? I might have to investigate this phenomenon more later on. Is the *Table House* supported by these columns, north to south on its back, symbolic of the forest as a whole?? At any rate, this house is scheduled to be deleted by Jan. 6th.
A VWX Town linden dogwood tree lies almost directly south of Wendy-Danny as well, and thus basically along the line of the columns just discussed. Like the Danny tree of the Rubi Woods, the dogwood is *almost* (but not quite) a floater, with only the tip of its lower point sticking into the ground. As eucalyptuses are one of the largest linden trees, the dogwood represents one of the smallest of same. If we move this dogwood directly north into the forest, it would lie almost equidistant to Wendy as Danny would on the other side — giving the suggestion of another type of child tree or son tree due to its shorter stature.
Of additional note here is that this dogwood presently protrudes through the eastern wall of Fal Mouth Moon and into the pictured trees (beech) of the Gila 09 collage, called “Head Inside”, the head in this case being of Sir Paul McCartney, whom Ringo Starr called the head or the brains of The Beatles.
When I placed the Fal Mouth Moon structure guided by other considerations, this projection just happened — wasn’t planned. But I decided to leave the dogwood there, since it meshed so well with the pictured tree grove in the collage. Keep in mind that both Baker Bloch and Edwardston have examined the faces or *heads* appearing in the Wendy-Danny trees. And it’s paramount to also keep in mind that an *eye* was spotted in the intertwined foilage of these very Rubi Forest trees, later directly associated with a bull’s eye of the forest. I may come back to this idea as well — the merger of beech grove of Gila 09 with the Rubi Forest.

Although he would admit that I could produce a printable take by any reasonable standard within the first few tries, Stanley would seldom respond with anything but derision until about take 14. He did not appear to be comfortable until we were well beyond take 20. Since the editing was to occur entirely after the filming of the production, he wanted at least two and preferably three perfect takes on each scene. Basically this was fine with me. Although most retakes were for other reasons, I could see a gradual improvement in my operating with each playback. I learned the route like a dancer learns a difficult piece of choreography and I could relegate more and more of the navigating to my subconscious and attend to the rhythm of the shot. To be fair, Kubrick later admitted that in selecting takes he went for performance every time and that many were technically indistinguishable. (He has been known to mutter, upon sitting through twenty identical passes in the lunchtime screenings, “Damn crosshairs, they get me every time!”)
The giant Hedge Maze set must be one of the most intriguing creations in the history of motion pictures. It must also be one of the most pernicious sets ever to work on.And folks, every frame was shot with the Steadicam. In its benign “summer” form, the Maze was constructed on the old MGM lot outdoors at Borehamwood.
It was beautiful. The “hedges” consisted of pine boughs stapled to plywood forms. It was lined with gravel paths, and contained a center section (although built to one side of the set) which was wider than the rest. It was exceedingly difficult to find one’s way in or out without reference to the map which accompanied each call sheet. Most of the crew got lost at various times and it wasn’t much use to call out “Stanley” as his laughter seemed to come from everywhere! It was amusing to be lost carrying nothing more than a walkie-talkie. It was positively hilarious if you happened to be wearing the Steadicam.
Stanley and cameraman holding hands (!).
Hmmm…

By the way, the maze is based on the film “The Shining!” Jack Belvedere, owner of the sims, told me he had to clean up all the gore before doing the snow maze.
Have fun!

Significantly, the labyrinthal road that the car travels down is called the “Going to the Sun” road, and construction of it began in 1921. Later we will notice that the film itself ends with a photograph taken in 1921.
….
Legend has it that the Going to the Sun Mountain, and later its main road, were named after a mystical Indian who ascended the 9,642-foot peak to join the sun in eternity. The choice of road is no coincidence, as the film begins and ends with both credits and references to the year 1921. What’s more, Kubrick’s name is nowhere in the final credits, and the film begins with a cast scroll that is typically located where most films end. So what we have here is a film which folds in on itself like an ouroboros snake, the past and the present, beginning and end, merging indefinitely, one big cyclical repetition of history.

The four colors of the Colorado flag recall the Four Directions of Native American belief, which in turn recall the Four Corners states (of which Colorado is the north east.) Color attribution of Four Directions change from culture to culture, and we see this in the clash of cultures inherit in the Overlook’s decor (English, Modern American, American Indian, South American, etc.) Things change color in The Shining, and windowless rooms like The Games Room make it difficult to establish Cardinal Direction. (Note: cardinal means red) Another Native American word for the Four Directions is the Medicine Wheel, which relates to our second symbol, the bullseye.
Supersity Medicine Wheel, visited again just yesterday for the first time in a year and found to be dismantled. The below shot is from a bit over a year ago:
