map sinking feeling 03

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Rocks

The song was covered in 1997 by The Presidents of the United States of America as the opening theme of the television program The Drew Carey Show, a situation comedy set in Cleveland. It accompanied a lavish opening sequence in which the cast lip-synced the song while performing elaborate choreography. The band covered the entire song, but only part of it was used for the Drew Carey theme. At the beginning of the recording, Drew Carey (a native of Cleveland) can be heard saying “Hey!” and then laughing, and at the end shouting “Ohio!” to an echoing effect. The latter soundbite appears in both the theme song and the full-length version of the song, and is a direct remake of the original, which has a similar “Ohio!” soundbyte at the end. The song is a track on the album Cleveland Rocks! Music From The Drew Carey Show as well as on the band’s compilation Pure Frosting. This version is traditionally played after a home win for either the Cleveland Indians or Cleveland Cavaliers.[citation needed]

Hunter’s original version would later open a Drew Carey “mistakes” episode.

As we close in on Election Day in a race that may well be decided right here in Ohio, are you aware that no fewer than eight of America’s presidents have been Ohioans themselves? The only other state that can claim that many presidents is Virginia, and Virginia and Ohio like to bicker back and forth over which one owns the nickname, “The Mother of Presidents.”

Is Lafferty actually Faherty? There is no faher/ pop place in US. Is Faherty the successor or the chosen companion to Anderson?

Last night I looked for Lafferty novels for about 2 hours in the basement, remembering this:

Then this morning found out about the similar sounded Faherty through Rapture, IN. Seems too odd to dismiss.

Does Lafferty/Faherty fit into the 12/13 *middle* of Winesap, a second source? Rev. Hartman, also with tested faith, is Cinderella match for Rev. Owen Keane?

—–
Barton (var=Anderson; see above) in Belmont County, OH
Lafferty (2 of 2) in Belmont County, OH
father/ (included in name Faherty): Maynard (var=Fathermac) in Belmont County, OH

All these are quite close together.

Lafferty, Maynard, Barton

5 lined up “B”s of *B*elmont County, all on *B* & O RR and just below above.

There’s Lafferty, Maynard, Barton again, also lined up as it were.

Another “Father Mac”…

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/rapt

adjective
1.
deeply engrossed or absorbed:
a rapt listener.
2.
transported with emotion; enraptured:
rapt with joy.
3.
showing or proceeding from rapture :
a rapt smile.
4.
carried off spiritually to another place, sphere of existence, etc.

We enter through “apt”, which leads to rapt which implied rapture per above definition. We begin, in others words, in Arkansas, the end (at least before the 3rd US tile, beginning in Maryland). We must show this up front. Then this…

That’s the only rapt/ in the US, population place wise. There’s also only one rapt/ in Winesap, and it is also the only apt/, remembering this.

Apt just below Jonesboro

Rapture IN has a lone variant name of Winfield. It has come up in this list before, along with wick/ and also, perhaps meaningful now as well, Gate City VA.

Here’s the matching Winesap sentence again…

The piece of glass broken out at the corner of the window just nipped off the bare heel of the boy standing motionless and looking with rapt eyes into the face of the Christ.

So I suppose we could actually leave AR alone at the beginning of tile 3 and just introduce “rapt” through not “Apt” (AR) but Rapture as variant name of Winfield in IN. Cool — multiple ways to get to the same idea.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapture,_Indiana

Rapture is an unincorporated community in Posey County, Indiana, United States.[1] Rapture is located on Indiana State Road 68, between Poseyville and New Harmony.

The community was originally called “White’s Settlement”, and is one of the oldest communities in Posey County.[2] It was laid out in 1838 by John Cox, and became known as “Winfield”, and also “Bugtown”.[3] Cox Creek run through the community.[4]

CNN reported in 2011 that just one person lives in Rapture, where they own a home, rental property and airplane hangar.[5] The airplane landing strip is known as “Bugtown Airport”.[6]

Rapture was the setting for Terence Faherty’s 1999 novel The Ordained.[7]

Interesting. So I checked out Faherty’s The Ordained. Here’s a blurb from amazon.com…

In 1844, a religious sect founded a small town and held its breath for the Second Coming, when the faithful would be carried to heaven. One hundred and fifty years later, they’re still waiting. Then three people disappear–and some think the prophecy is finally coming true. Ex-seminarian turned sleuth Owen Keane thinks there’s a more corporeal explanation, something to do with a convicted killer’s parole hearing–because there’s nothing very divine about a cold body in a shallow grave. Martin’s Press.

http://books.google.com/books?id=4c4JBbi2g4kC&pg=PA54&lpg=PA54&dq=faherty+ordained&source=bl&ots=Sy04zfg_5A&sig=LMLwPRBmb8TBSAeOtrX3FVbmLeg&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ejpvVNuhGsSrgwTh7IKAAg&ved=0CFYQ6AEwCA#v=onepage&q=faherty%20ordained&f=false

http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-312-16958-9

Itinerant sleuth Owen Keane’s life has taken some abrupt turns in five previous novels (The Lost Keats, Deadstick, etc.), which have chronicled a believable life odyssey and delivered a handful of satisfying mysteries. He’s lost his religious faith, his girl and most of his more loving impulses. Now Owen is in Indiana to testify at the parole hearing for convicted killer Curtis Morell–to make sure the parole doesn’t happen. Owen runs into Morell’s daughter Krystal, the local doctor in Rapture, a town founded by a religious sect which, a century and a half ago, held its breath for a Second Coming. Waiting in vain, most of the faithful remained in Rapture, devoting their lives to making ornately artistic coffins. Now, after an older woman and then a young man vanish, followed by Krystal herself, many see signs of urgent summonses from God. A local woman even claims to see lights in the sky. But the Rapture cops and Steve Fallon, a DEA official, have a more earthly explanation for the lights: drug planes are descending on Rapture. Is there a new kind of ecstasy to be found in this sleepy town? Without credentials, Owen functions on the fringe of the investigation. He talks to the chilling Morell and gets shot down flying shotgun in a small plane. He takes to Krystal and clashes with Fallon. He scoffs at the notion that aliens are flashing lights but accepts the dignity with which the believers once waited for their miracle of deliverance. He’s an odd bird in an equally odd series, one that is consistently low-key, gently thoughtful and enlightening. (Dec.)

Love Lady, Pickett County, Tennessee.

Just thinking of Static, and on lark looked up Lady immediately afterwards. Only 1 in VA near Glass and Ordinary and Achilles that we’ve already discussed in assoc. with “Strength of God”. But broadening search to lady/ brings up interesting Love Lady in Pickett County, TN, and same county as *Static*.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myst

Myst contains a library where two additional books can be found, colored red and blue…. Both plead for the Stranger to help them escape. However, the books are missing several pages, so the sons’ messages are at first unclear, and riddled with static.

static/: 2 of 2:

He also grew bold and reaching out his hand stroked the face of the woman on the floor so that she was ecstatically happy.

He kissed them ecstatically.

Static is UMapS without signal. We have reached an end trap between red and blue. No way to departe.

All pp in Craighead County west of the county seat of Jonesboro.

Several more from this list, then…..

hern/: 8 of 8:

I won’t list these out but it’s split evenly, 4 to 4, by “Hern’s Grocery” and “Northern Ohio”. Perhaps strange that there is a Northern Ohio in Arkansas not too far from the listed Herndon above, in Poinsett County immediately south of Craighead…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Ohio,_Arkansas

The community of Northern Ohio has been noted for its unusual place name.

gib/: 1 of 1:

All during the first year Louise tried to make her husband understand the vague and intangible hunger that had led to the writing of the note and that was still unsatisfied.

nem/: 3 of 3:

Into Jesse’s mind came the conviction that all of the Ohio farmers who owned land in the valley of Wine Creek were Philistines and enemies of God.

He was not one to arouse keen enthusiasm among the worshippers in his church but on the other hand he made no enemies.

Might not one by striking his person strike also the greater enemy—the thing that smiled and went its own way—the judgment of Winesburg?

All of these regard Winesburg or the people in the Wine Creek valley as enemies or potential enemies. See also: nemesis (anagram of enemies).

This one just east of Jonesboro: oddly named “Apt”.

apt/: 1 of 1:

The piece of glass broken out at the corner of the window just nipped off the bare heel of the boy standing motionless and looking with rapt eyes into the face of the Christ.

A broken piece of glass as “Achilles heel” is implied, with the hole offering a view of a (naked) lady.

See here for talk about this very same location:

I think Scarb (historical) might represent this…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronicity#Examples

My example concerns a young woman patient who, in spite of efforts made on both sides, proved to be psychologically inaccessible. The difficulty lay in the fact that she always knew better about everything. Her excellent education had provided her with a weapon ideally suited to this purpose, namely a highly polished Cartesian rationalism with an impeccably “geometrical” idea of reality. After several fruitless attempts to sweeten her rationalism with a somewhat more human understanding, I had to confine myself to the hope that something unexpected and irrational would turn up, something that would burst the intellectual retort into which she had sealed herself. Well, I was sitting opposite her one day, with my back to the window, listening to her flow of rhetoric. She had had an impressive dream the night before, in which someone had given her a golden scarab — a costly piece of jewellery. While she was still telling me this dream, I heard something behind me gently tapping on the window. I turned round and saw that it was a fairly large flying insect that was knocking against the window-pane from outside in the obvious effort to get into the dark room. This seemed to me very strange. I opened the window immediately and caught the insect in the air as it flew in. It was a scarabaeid beetle, or common rose-chafer (Cetonia aurata), whose gold-green colour most nearly resembles that of a golden scarab. I handed the beetle to my patient with the words, “Here is your scarab.” This experience punctured the desired hole in her rationalism and broke the ice of her intellectual resistance. The treatment could now be continued with satisfactory results.[16]

cash: 4 of 4:

In the barrel beneath shavings lay a tin box containing Cowley & Son’s cash.

Elmer took twenty dollars, two ten-dollar bills, from the little roll containing perhaps four hundred dollars, the cash left from the sale of the farm.

There was nothing to eat in the house, and so he went into a harness shop on a side street and stole a dollar and seventy-five cents out of the cash drawer.

Then he went out into the street to talk to a teamster Tom opened the cash drawer and taking the money walked away.

1 – 20 – 400. Building up from 1 note, then.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cash,_Arkansas

fish/: 5 of 5, (but 4 of 4 sentences):

With a kind of wriggle, like a fish returned to the brook by the fisherman, Biddlebaum the silent began to talk, striving to put into words the ideas that had been accumulated by his mind during long years of silence.

Then he said that she was a wind, a strong terrible wind, coming out of the darkness of a stormy sea and that he was a boat left on the shore of the sea by a fisherman.

In the fall and spring he spends his Sundays fishing in Lake Erie.

In the smoking car there was a man who had just invited Tom to go on a fishing trip to Sandusky Bay.

rish/: 4 of 4:

A kind of feverish boyish eagerness to in some way achieve in his own life the flavor of significance that had hung over these men took possession of him.

A feverish desire to get out of doors took possession of him.

They talk of art and are passionately, almost feverishly, in earnest about it.

With feverish eyes he watched the faces drifting past under the store lights.

rigg/: 2 of 2:

With a kind of wriggle, like a fish returned to the brook by the fisherman, Biddlebaum the silent began to talk, striving to put into words the ideas that had been accumulated by his mind during long years of silence.

Jesse and his grandson were driving in a distant part of the valley some miles from home. A forest came down to the road and through the forest Wine Creek wriggled its way over stones toward a distant river.

three w/: 1 of 1:

And then on a Monday evening two or three weeks after the writing of the note, John Hardy came for her. Louise had so entirely given up the thought of his coming that for a long time she did not hear the call that came up from the orchard.

2 of 2:

I might keep still and get more credit in your eyes.

He, like most boys, was deeper than boys are given credit for being, but he was not what the men of the town, and even his mother, thought him to be.

“Back to Wick/ or Wicke/.”

Hucka D.:

Absolutely.

bb:

Two examples in the magic book. Here’s the sentences now for the reader or readers that I promised before.

Hucka D.:

Certainly.

http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/416/pg416.txt

As a tigress whose cub had been
threatened would she appear, coming out of the shadows,
stealing noiselessly along and holding the long wicked
scissors in her hand.

Also he had a long
yellow mustache that dropped down over his teeth, and
always carried a heavy, wicked-looking walking stick in
his hand.

“Try it youself at home.”

Hucka D.:

Might as well give them the other one.

bb:

Stand back.

With a kind of wriggle, like a fish
returned to the brook by the fisherman, Biddlebaum the
silent began to talk, striving to put into words the
ideas that had been accumulated by his mind during long
years of silence.

Then he said that she was
a wind, a strong terrible wind, coming out of the
darkness of a stormy sea and that he was a boat left on
the shore of the sea by a fisherman.

Hucka D.:

*There*. That wasn’t so hard (!).

bb:

No.

Hucka D.:

And now the other one or two of your readers will know the magic book and the top part of its secrets. They’re even with you — us — now. Return to Sam Parr State Park Lake.

bb:

Okay, in a minute. And just following up on the above, see that scissors is another one of of those two-fers.

Going to a cloth bag that hung on a
nail by the wall she took out a long pair of sewing
scissors and held them in her hand like a dagger.

As a tigress whose cub had been
threatened would she appear, coming out of the shadows,
stealing noiselessly along and holding the long wicked
scissors in her hand.

Hucka D.:

We’ve seen her name before. Can you check for me? We’ll put the lake to one side for now… progressing…

bb:

Could be connected to Elizabeth next to Norfolk Lake in Ark. and its Hand. Elizabeth holds the [sewing] scissors in her hand, like a dagger. long wicked scissors.

Hucka D.:

Not the one I was thinking about, though.

bb:

No.

Hucka D.:

But it is near Heart[ Arkansas] as well.

bb:

Yes.

—–

bb:

Well, not finding it.

—–

“Don’t [put] Run with Scissors, I suppose. I remember that before through Donna.”

Hucka D.:

A Candidate could run with scissors and have no fear.

bb: (checking)

Only Run, Hucka D.

—-

No Paper, Hucka D., per se. Lots of Rocks, including one in Cowley County, Kansas near Winfield. But we do have the story Paper Pills within.

bb:

Mother, the third, contains the 2 scissors I see. She doesn’t run with them. 2nd story [] is about paper. First story must be about Rock, then.

You better end.

Here’s Lego/ again from an older post.

Hucka D.:

In this location, you have the seed of Roger Pine Ridge visit already concluded [Watersville + Barrett], surrounding future synch boy [Daniel + Day]. This could have to do with Blood Dr., and its opposite, Dr. Blood. Where is the good doctor?

bb:

Dunno, Hucka. Looking then at all the Winfields and you get variant Wickes, with an additional variant there of Sherwood. Let’s take a look at that.

bb:

Interesting name of Rapture there too, Hucka D. Hucka?

Hucka D.:

Here. With my morning beer.

bb:

Great. Thanks for waking up so early.

Hucka D.:

Eeh. I could tell you’re having a hard morning in your special magic land[ Blue Mtn.!].

Thanks again. So I’m going to massage that data some more.

“First off, Hucka D., there’s this tiny place called Bloom just north by northeast of Winfield in Carroll County, Maryland, the one already identified as next to Legos Choice which brings up an assoc. with Winfield, Kansas in Cowley County there.”

Hucka D.:

Correct. When you looked up Bloom, Chicago Heights came up as a variant name in a rather short list. Cool! Wonder who did that (snickers)?

bb:

Yeah, and in researching our magical book came up with this yesterday… called the first successful adaptation of the book.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Heights_%28film%29

Hucka D.:

Well, you better not delay, and look up Winesburg, then. Why don’t you broaden it with Wines/. That’ll catch the sap.

bb:

Good one again, Hucka. First… that appears to be the only US Chicago Heights. With a variant name of Bloom and also Thorn Grove. Blooms, like roses, are sometimes accompanied by thorns.

Hucka D.:

Wines/ now. I get your gist. (smiles)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Heights,_Illinois

The first European settler in the area was Absalom Wells in 1833. He built a log cabin where the Vincennes Trail crossed Thorn Creek, but then moved farther west to where Chicago Road is now. The first permanent settlers were Adam and Phoebe Brown who built an inn at the intersection of Sauk Trail and the Vincennes Trace. In 1835, a large group from Ireland arrived. At this time, the town was known as Thorn Grove.

The first school was built in 1836. The Reformed Presbyterian Church of Thorn Grove was formed in December 1843. The Batchhelder and McCoy homes in Thorn Grove were stops on the Underground Railroad. The first railroad arrived in 1853. The village was renamed Bloom. It was then renamed again in 1892 to Chicago Heights and incorporated as a village. In 1897, the village had twenty factories. By 1901, Chicago Heights had a population of over 5,000 and became a city. Its population nearly tripled in the next ten years.

bb:

I like the Coors and Budweiser signs right next to the signs for the church. I think that might be a collage base, Hucka.

Hucka D.:

Nice. I have a Coors right now in my hand. And after that I’ll reach into the fridge for a budweiser. Coincidence? I think not!

bb:

That’s great, Hucka D. I guess you’re allowed to drink since I got you up so early to help me with this particular post.

Hucka D.”

Yes (*hiccups*).

“Let’s then take the first character mentioned in this book. Wing.”

Hucka D.:

Wick(e)s again. Thought I’d say it for you. So is all of Collagesity now going to revolve around this confusing bunch of map stuff?

bb:

Could be, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

What do the Wick(e)s mean? (snickers again)

bb:

Dis-legomenon again, Hucka D., as it turned out. Two “wicks” in the magic book.

Hucka D.:

Well show them to the reader or readers. Including me.

bb:

I’ll give the two sentences. Hold on.

Hucka D.:

That’s a further clue for sure. First off, how about Wick/?

bb:

That’s Wicke/, but that applies more. Lots of stuff connected to that Wicker in Miss., Hucka D. Burns. Lemon. Obvious reference to Lemon of Troy and following Who Shot Mr. Burns. And there’s even the revelation about who shot him (!).

Hucka D.:

Absolutely! But no spoilers here.

bb:

This is obviously, also, the wicker man of Burning Man.

https://www.tumblr.com/veyot/102100720660/you-can-watch-the-man-burn-again-today-and-dance

March(e)

March in Marshall County, Minn., near incorporated Warren (Marshall County seat).

Marche, Arkansas in Pulaski County, with lone variant name of Warren. Marche is linked to Natural Steps, and also 15 steps of nearby county and “Steve” via Rule 110 (connect to Mouse’s Q109).

March, *Craighead* County, AR: may refer to mystery book Winesap as including 15 steps or else Rule 110 in some respect, connected to 2 fis(her)man’s within each (county and book). Nearby Bono =s Sonny, as in King Sonny or King Charles, fighter of Anti-TILE forces near Bill Creek, Ashville.

Marche pronounced Marsh, sometimes mispelled, perhaps, as Marshe. It is a small mashy region just beyond Warren’s river cane grove on the Wilson River. People sometimes march right past Warren on the main trail there, not seeing him. That wasn’t the case, as it turned out, with my new facebook friend JS. She was looking through my eyes, or I her’s.
