Smoky Ordinary, VA

What might be happening:

Smoky Ordinary next to Dolphin linked to Warfield, indicating former Miami Dolphin great Paul Warfield.

Another Warfield (WV/KY):

Another Warfield (GA):

“We need to go back to Willard-Note, then, and look at more examples perhaps. Willard is a note in the Book of Music known as Winesap. We know what Winesap is. It’s in Herbert Domain. You can make Cash off of it. Get Credit for it. At the top is the 2 Hermans and the 2 Fishers. You know what this is. A door, an opening. You know that Bono *shuts* the door after ’23. Faulkner County is deadened, but that may be a green book behind the blue and red book we are dealing with. You know that too.”

bb:

Hucka D.?

Hucka D.:

Yes. In the flesh.

bb:

Thanks for showing up. We have a little time I suppose.

Hucka D.:

Always time for me, right?

bb:

Yes. So the trail leads to the Beech Grove which is the Beach City — for Willard — and inside this grove he thinks of Kate Swift. The reverend who has broken a corner of the Glass in his bell tower study also thinks of Kate — the Lady. He thinks the lady who smokes in her bed and reads is sinful but he also remembers reading books of ladies’ smoking so perhaps it is not so un*Ordinary*. Smoking is ordinary. Smoky Ordinary.

Hucka D.;

Yes. You are doing fine. Good night.

bb:

Thanks Hucka D.

“So continuing… I also believe Lovely and Beauty relate to Kate Swift, as described by both Reverend Hartman and also George Willard. As Lovely is also Love + Lee, this may related to the Civil War and Confederate Army led by Lee, and war fields involved, many of which are in Virginia. We’ve already encountered Love Valley in various disguises.”

bb:

I thought you had gone to bed, Hucka D. Maybe you should turn out the light.

Hucka D.:

Oh… just borrowing your computer for a while. Couldn’t you sleep?

bb:

Kept thinking of Warfield and Paul and wars in general. Civil War.

Hucka D.:

Me too.

bb:

I see that a Warfieldsburg is only several miles north of Winfield in Maryland, Hucka D. Missed that before.

Kermit also here:

https://bakerbloch.wordpress.com/2014/05/15/strange-01/

Hucka D.:

Didn’t Kermit the Frog with the face of Cardboard Derek Jones greet Baker Bloch in the afterlife at West End? Think so. And also Kermit has come up regarding that rock in Sharieland, the one that looks like a frog. *Wait*, there was a *Dolphin* Rock as well there. Wasn’t there?

Sho’ ‘nuf.

Shocking (again!)

Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean”):

Rowan and Martin

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rowan_%26_Martin%27s_Laugh-In

Martin and Lewis

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

Why?

Male partnering: 2 queens in slang. And Queens here in *Lewis* County, KY (and next to a Martin Church at the mouth of a Martin Fork still).

And then Hathaway here refers to a probable 60’s lesbian character played by a lesbian: Jane.

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

Lily may reference Lily Tomlin, former Laugh-In star and married to her own Jane.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lily_Tomlin#Personal_life

Male partnering (queens) is obvious: Rowan and Marin and Martin and Lewis.

Then there’s always Lewis and Clark… hmmm.

Lewis County is a county located in the U.S. state of Kentucky. As of the 2010 census, the population was 13,870.[1] Its county seat is Vanceburg.[2] The county was founded in 1806 and named for Meriwether Lewis.[3][4]

Looking up Queen without the “s”, gives us 2 separate North Carolina Loves bound together, one Love + Joy and the other a Love Valley Baptist Church on a Kings Mtn. topo map with a queer alternate name of Queen.

Better known Love Valley, NC:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Valley,_North_Carolina

Not many Love Valleys, population places or otherwise. 3 to be exact according to GNIRPS…

Then, moving overseas, there’s this…

Just plain weird (again!):

http://www.kuriositas.com/2012/05/love-valley-seeing-is-believing.html

Love Valley in Cappadocia, Turkey certainly has a claim to fame – a very large one. Rather euphemistically named, the valley is home to rock structures that bear a passing resemblance to… well – make your own mind up. Seeing, as they say, is believing.

Willard-Music, KY
Willard-Note, GA

He remembered the look that had lurked in the girl’s eyes when they had met on the streets and thought of the note she had written.

He had just received a note from Helen White, the daughter of the town banker, in answer to one from him.

The first and last “note”s in this Book o’ Music concerns Willard, the receiver. The first note can be viewed as his reaction to the last. We can call this a Wheeler-Wilson paradox.

Willard is himself a Note in this musical book. The Key Tone perhaps. *Or* that music (and its notes, perhaps key notes) now resides in the book and not the album, thinking of Toledo again.

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

We must ask what is in this note received by Willard. It is 2 things in one. But we can answer the higher of the 2 in the following refinements, and define it as “more sophisticated”…

Willard-Beetle, KY

Indicates (music) beet or rhythm. Also indicates Beatles, with variant name Beetles here.

Willard-Sophi, KY

Clearly indicates Sophie’s Place by Larry Jordan (video element of Sophie’s No. 9, with audio by Beatles), but also “Sophistication” (s.story).

sophi:

The sadness of sophistication has come to the boy. With a little gasp he sees himself as merely a leaf blown by the wind through the streets of his village.

When the moment of sophistication came to George Willard his mind turned to Helen White, the Winesburg banker’s daughter. Always he had been conscious of the girl growing into womanhood as he grew into manhood.

In youth there are always two forces fighting in people. The warm unthinking little animal struggles against the thing that reflects and remembers, and the older, the more sophisticated thing had possession of George Willard. Sensing his mood, Helen walked beside him filled with respect.

Two notes, two forces reflected.

We can now return to rainbowology and its death in Toledo.

Map Nonsense

Questions: Why is a Grayson County town called Sadler so identified with the direction South in both Kentucky and Texas? Julie Sadler’s art hangs in Collagesity’s Gallery BOB presently, but I’m not sure if she has anything to do with this. Or does she have everything to do with it. The cardinal direction South opposes the cardinal direction North. The cardinal [bird] just outside Gallery BOB is on the southern edge of Collagesity, in the small Drunk Man’s Ridge Town Park — official town park we’re talking about here. The twinned cardinal is situated in perhaps the other protected nature area of town: Tired Falls, and near the *northern* edge of town. Does the cardinal — both aspects combined — represent the directions North and South, then? It’s a good question to be asking, perhaps a great one. And if true, sheds light on the possible long term nature of Collagesity. I have another concept, perhaps related: Norubi, the joined, hypothetical merger of sims Noru, Rubi, and more.

Also perhaps related: Julie’s presently attempting to resurrect her Collage Clearinghouse site…

New

It’s times to start thinking about a new Carrcass. I wonder if I’m like Dexter in this respect? (but Dexter isn’t on my list to use — don’t think).

Series 03 Episode 13 – The Bozeman Reaction

52 12 “The Psychic Vortex” Mark Cendrowski Story: Lee Aronsohn & Steven Molaro
Teleplay: Chuck Lorre, Eric Kaplan & Jim Reynolds January 11, 2010 3X5561 15.82[13]

Leonard and Penny’s relationship hits an impasse when, while on a double-date with Howard and Bernadette, she reveals that she has taken career advice from a psychic, only for Leonard to laugh, infuriating her. Later, Howard tells Leonard that if he wants to be able to be in a relationship, he will have to accept that people will have differing beliefs. Leonard apologizes to Penny and agrees to visit her psychic, despite her having declined to read a book debunking psychics, remarking that “one of us has to keep an open mind.”

Meanwhile, Sheldon and Raj attend a university mixer, with Sheldon as Raj’s wingman. Sheldon only agrees because Raj bribes him with a Limited Edition Green Lantern lantern, which Sheldon subsequently carries with him to the mixer. They meet Abby (Danica McKellar), who takes a liking to Raj, and her friend Martha (Jen Drohan), who tries to connect with Sheldon. They end up playing Rock Band at Sheldon’s place. For a second date, Raj bribes Sheldon with his pair of Hulk hands, signed by Stan Lee. After Sheldon announces that he is going to bed, Martha asks if she can join him in his room to avoid Raj and Abby, who are “getting busy”. Sheldon obliges but immediately leaves to sleep in Leonard’s room, leaving Martha alone.

Recurring character: Melissa Rauch as Bernadette Rostenkowski
Guest stars: Danica McKellar as Abby and Jen Drohan as Martha
Title reference: Penny’s belief in psychics.

53 13 “The Bozeman Reaction” Mark Cendrowski Story: Bill Prady, Lee Aronsohn & Jim Reynolds
Teleplay: Chuck Lorre, Steven Molaro & Steve Holland January 18, 2010 3X5563 14.99[14]

Leonard and Sheldon return from dinner to find their apartment broken into, with their TV, laptop, hard drives, video game consoles and video games stolen. Sheldon fears being alone in the apartment due to the robbery, so he forces Leonard and Penny to stay in the apartment. The next day, Howard designs a state-of-the-art security system for the apartment using components he “borrowed” from the Department of Defense. However, after Sheldon himself is caught in the security system, he decides that the apartment is no longer safe and plans to leave Pasadena for a safer city. After rejecting Enid, Oklahoma, Boone, North Carolina and the entire state of Nebraska (because Penny is from there), he decides to move to Bozeman, Montana. But when Sheldon arrives there, he gets robbed again, so he returns to Pasadena.

Guest stars: Julio Oscar Mechoso as Officer Hackett
Title reference: Sheldon moves to Bozeman, Montana after his and Leonard’s apartment is robbed.

54 14 “The Einstein Approximation” Mark Cendrowski Story: Lee Aronsohn, Dave Goetsch & Steve Holland
Teleplay: Chuck Lorre, Steven Molaro & Eric Kaplan February 1, 2010 3X5565 15.51[15]

Sheldon’s search for the answer to a physics problem keeps him up all night for several days and he becomes obsessed with finding the answer. His obsession with solving the problem goes to the extent of visualizing food as atoms and even sneaking out in the middle of the night to go to the mall ball pit, forcing Leonard to rush to the mall and get him. He then decides that he needs a menial job to think better because Albert Einstein came up with the Theory of Relativity while working at a menial job at the Swiss patent office. Since the United States Patent and Trademark Office is in Washington DC, and he does not want to move out of Pasadena, Sheldon interviews for any menial job with the County of Los Angeles. At the county office, Sheldon angers the woman interviewing him, to the extent of her calling security to remove him. Sheldon then decides to work at the Cheesecake Factory with Penny as he considers her job the most menial of all. He shows up and works as a busboy and waiter without actually being hired or demanding pay, and turns out to be a more efficient waiter than Penny until he drops and breaks a tray of dishes. The scattering of the shattered pieces leads him to the answer to his problem, and he promptly walks out without cleaning up the mess.

Meanwhile Leonard, Penny, Howard, and Bernadette go to disco night at the roller skating rink where the guys embarrass their girlfriends with their outfits and dancing. Raj is left out as he does not have a girlfriend, even though it was his idea to go to the skating rink. Eventually Raj successfully pressurizes a reluctant Howard to take him to the skating rink.

Recurring character: Melissa Rauch as Bernadette Rostenkowski
Guest stars: Yeardley Smith as Sandy and Kevin Brief as Glenn
Title reference: Sheldon’s attempt at solving his problem by working in a menial job, comparing it to Albert Einstein’s discoveries made while working in Switzerland in the Patent Office.

The novel is set on the fictitious island of Nollop, off the coast of South Carolina, which is home to Nevin Nollop, the supposed creator of the well-known pangram “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” This sentence is preserved on a memorial statue to its creator on the island and is taken very seriously by the government of the island. Throughout the book, tiles containing the letters fall from the inscription beneath the statue, and as each one does, the island’s government bans the contained letter’s use from written or spoken communication. A penalty system is enforced for using the forbidden characters, with public censure for a first offense, lashing or stocks (violator’s choice) upon a second offense and banishment from the island nation upon the third. By the end of the novel, most of the island’s inhabitants have either been banished or have left of their own accord.

The island’s high council becomes more and more nonsensical as time progresses and the alphabet diminishes, promoting Nollop to divine status. Uncompromising in their enforcement of Nollop’s “divine will”, they offer only one hope to the frustrated islanders: to disprove Nollop’s omniscience by finding a pangram of 32 letters (in contrast to Nollop’s 35, or just 33 in the version “A quick brown…”). With this goal in mind “Enterprise 32” is started, a project involving many of the novel’s main characters. With but five characters left (L, M, N, O, and P), the elusive phrase is eventually discovered by Ella in one of her father’s earlier letters: “Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs,” which has only 32 letters. The council accepts this and restores the right to all 26 letters to the populace.

208 MS Jack. (45:47)

Wendy exiting, as she reaches the end of the rainbow painting, cut back to Jack from the angle of where she had been standing. As we hear her footsteps continuing across the floor, Jack returns to work. The scrapbook shows different images and paper is already in the carriage. This shot of Jack appears out of joint with the others, his temperament and face dramatically different, no hint of rage there, but Kubrick has styled the shot so that Wendy’s departing footsteps heard over it tie the cuts together aurally.

The door beyond is now hidden by the lamp. Jack’s position conceals whether or not the table and chair, which were there then gone then returned, are there or not.

Juli contends this is the *real* (or realer) Jack typing the horror story based on the scrapbook he found in the Boiler Room (in King’s book; not shown in or edited out of Kubrick’s film, however, as discussed previously). The typewriter has changed colors from white to gray in the meantime.

Later on in her “Tuesday” section, Juli reveals her “base plan” starting with the above photo…

Jack’s expression is so different here, I really do feel like this is one of the few “real” shots in the film (there are a couple of others), and that the rest are only Kubrick allegory world and mental scenes from Jack working away on his novel. None of this really happens. It is a story. And that’s all right. After all, it’s only a story anyway. It’s fiction from beginning to end.

The film is full of impossibilities from beginning to end, and I have said repeatedly that one can’t approach this realistically. I really do think we have two stories, that of the writer who is at a lodge typing out his story, perhaps one a lot like Stephen King, an alcoholic with anger problems, and the story is inspired by this and a working out of it. And the story is also an allegory, a vehicle for the story Kubrick is intending to tell.

I’ve already discussed this idea of a story within a story (within a story) as well, most likely inspired by an earlier study of Kearns’ massive Shining document. Back to the Base Plan… Juli gives a list of some of the movie’s perceived “90 degree turns” and inexplicable, attached disappearances. She then states…

Fig. 48 – Pyramid and pyramidal trapezoid, monolith, vanishing point and single point perspective, all wrapped up in one, but the apex (and, hence, the vanishing point, the pyramid, the angle of convergence) is obscured.

An expresion for these 90 degree/right angle turns and the disappearances and appearances that seem to be associated with them I again find in the “vanishing point” (angle of convergence) of the trapezoid pyramid shape that is repeated throughout the film. Again, when one views this not as just a trapezoid but a rectangle viewed from an extreme perspective we find in it the disappearing angle of the vanishing point.

Kubrick consistently expresses the trapezoidal pyramid shape in the film with a circle above as if obscuring the angle of convergence. Take a look at the sconce on the wall above Jack’s head and how we have this expressed even in the shadow created by the light and the bottom of the sconce being what obscures the angle of convergence. This is an example of what I’m talking about. A simple expression of light and shadow and geometry.

We see the same later in the peculiar choking poster.

We see it implied in the Colorado flag.

She goes on to give several other examples of this vanishing point, including a corner of the hotel related scrapbook in one shot that appears to be altered by Kubrick to represent this. I personally think Kearns is on to something. She concludes her “Tuesday” section with the following, directly connected to the scrapbook’s sudden, unexplained appearance in the film…

Up to this point in The Shining, things had been going fairly well for Wendy and Danny and Jack at the Overlook, in as much as he hadn’t entered his crisis yet, that state of obsession in which he types over and over again the one phrase, “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.” But that has now changed. The shift has been made.

Things could even said to be heading *south* from this point on.

Grayson/Sadler 02

Why Sadler? Does it really have to do with the collagist I’m acquainted with? See her Collage Clearinghouse for more about the artist. Why South/Dixie attached to Sadler? Julie is not from the South. South may stand for an immersion in an illusion, like Dixie, like Gone With The Wind’s Dixie.

Note: There are *tons* of Dixies strewn across the US, but only 2 “South”s.

But I also think it represent incarnation in a physical form — that kind of illusion. Love Lee. Love Lee (illusion of Lee as South’s savior). Gray is the color of Confederate uniforms. We are all confederates here on Earth, in this school.

Whitehouse, Maryland use to be called Black Rock. 2 Black Rocks in Grayson County, KY, with a White Run on its western side. White, gray, black. Whitehouse is the only *variant* name of Black Rocks in US that’s primary. Black Rock name is most attached to Grayson County, KY (as Sadler is to Grayson County, period).

http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Rock

The Black Rock was a fully-rigged 19th century British trading ship that was found shipwrecked on the Island and overgrown by the jungle. The ship carried a cargo of slaves, dynamite, and other equipment intended for mining. In the midst of a large storm at sea, a massive wave swept the vessel inland, causing it to crash violently into the statue of Taweret, thus toppling the structure, leaving only the foot of the statue intact. This wave carried the ship far into the interior of the Island where it finally came to rest in an area known as the “Dark Territory”. The ship was captained by Magnus Hanso, who was allegedly buried somewhere close to the wreck. In 2007, Hugo Reyes destroyed the ship by detonating the remaining dynamite.

We know from 1P that Black Rock resonates with the Twin Peaks’ Black Lodge thru “loss of arms”. There’s also a White Lodge, another black-white duality.

Only prominent US North in Orangeburg Co., *South* Carolina. North is circular, like an orange itself. Nearby are Norway, Sweden and Denmark, all northern world countries. Very Nordic, very white with blue eyes/blonde hair type of places.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2100947/Eisenhower-secret-meetings-aliens-pentagon-consultant-claims.html

The initial meeting is supposed to have taken place with aliens who were ‘Nordic’ in appearance, but the agreement was eventually ‘signed’ with a race called ‘Alien Greys’.

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

Nordic aliens (also known as space brothers) are said by self-described contactees and some UFOlogists to be a group of humanoid extraterrestrials who resemble European racial images, or more specifically Nordic-Scandinavians.

Stephanie Kelley-Romano observes that “white extraterrestrials are those that are most revered”, compared to other beings like the greys, and argues that claimants may use their stories about extraterrestrials “as a means of articulating racially based fears”.[5]

Grayson = et contact. What happened at Whitehouse?

http://exopolitics.org/Study-Paper-8.htm

At his farewell speech in 1961, President Eisenhower was possibly alluding to the growing power of national security agencies that dealt with the extraterrestrial presence and were gaining great power as a result of the dilemma over what to do with the extraterrestrial presence:

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.

If the President was dissatisfied with the non-disclosure of the extraterrestrial presence, then his speech was indicating that the responsible national security agencies were both dominating public policy and taking a ‘hard-line approach’ that was inconsistent with American democratic ideals.

Additional note: 2 separate Black Rocks occur in Grayson County, KY.

Additional note: Joe (TX), Cartwright (near TX), Ponderosa (KY).

Additional note: Sadler-Dixie, TX. Sadler-South, KY (obvious!).

Aditional note: *Also*, to reinforce above, Sadler-Southmayd, TX (!).

Additional note: Wax in Grayson County, KY (Bee, Byrd — Poe).

Additional note: Whitetop Mtn. in extreme nw corner of Grayson County, VA, which also contains a Whitetop village. All other Grayson Counties harbor “White” town oddities as well. Whitewright, TX on edge of that Grayson County, and White Mound and White Rock close, as already talked about. Larger Whitesboro, TX near opposite edge of same county. White Run near western line of Grayson County, KY. WHITE reinforced — run of Whites.

1/21/14 update:

Sadler may instead be referring primarily to William S. Sadler, who helped publish the controversial Urantia book claimed to be channeled from an extraterrestrial source.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_S._Sadler

In 1910, Sadler went to Europe and studied psychiatry for a year under Sigmund Freud. Sometime between 1906 and 1911, Sadler attempted to treat a patient with an unusual sleep condition. While the patient was sleeping he spoke to Sadler and claimed to be an extraterrestrial. Sadler spent years observing the sleeping man in an effort to explain the phenomenon, and eventually decided the man had no mental illness and that his words were genuine. The man’s identity was never publicized, but speculation has focused on Sadler’s brother-in-law, Wilfred Kellogg. Over the course of several years, Sadler and his assistants visited the man while he slept, conversing with him about spirituality, history, and cosmology, and asking him questions. A larger number of interested people met at Sadler’s home to discuss the man’s responses and to suggest additional questions. The man’s words were eventually published in The Urantia Book, and the Urantia Foundation was created to assist Sadler in spreading the book’s message. It is not known who wrote and edited the book, but several commentators have speculated that Sadler played a guiding role in its publication. Although it never became the basis of an organized religion, the book attracted followers who devoted themselves to its study, and the movement continued after Sadler’s death.

Quedlinburg treasures
Main article: Theft of medieval art from Quedlinburg

Whitewright was the home of US Lieutenant Joe Tom Meador, who after World War II looted several major pieces of art from a cave near Quedlinburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.

On April 19, 1945, American troops occupied Quedlinburg. Various treasures of art were secured in a cave near the castle Altenburg. Meador was responsible for the security of the cave.

Meador, a soldier with good knowledge of art, recognized the importance of the treasures (among them being Gospel of Samuel and the Crystals of Constantinople). He sent the treasures to Whitewright via army mail, and the art was placed in a safe at the First National Bank of Whitewright.

Meador died in 1980, and his heirs tried to sell ten pieces of Beutekunst (looted art) on the international art market. After a long search and judicial processes, the art was returned to Germany in 1992 and were investigated because of damages to the pieces. At first those stolen artefacts were exhibited in Munich and Berlin but were finally returned to Quedlinburg in 1993. However, two of the pieces stolen by Meador are still in the United States at an unknown location.

On April 20, 2000, the IRS and the Meador family settled for $135,000.

Tom Bean
Tom Bean was a mysterious character that showed up in Grayson County one day – having just traded his horse and pistol for a wagon with a yoke of oxen carrying a barrel of whiskey. He had everything needed to open a saloon and so he did – naming it the White Elephant for what he considered his end of the trade. His profession other than saloonkeeper was said to be that of surveyor.

He bought or traded his services for so much land that it was said he could ride to Austin (a three day trip) and camp out every night on property he owned. Reportedly he owned 25,000 acres in Grayson County alone.

When asked where he hailed from – his usual reply was “from a Bean patch.” Bean carried books with him and volumes of Shakespeare and Dickens seemed to be favorites. He was a Mason and a clean-shaven man – rather unusual for that period. According to one source he had one blue and one brown eye. He was not married, although he had a woman with him and quite a few children running around the place. He was described as always carrying an umbrella and wearing a bee-gum hat – whatever that was.

He granted 100 acres of land to the railroad – having the town named in his honor in return. When he died, over 100 people filed claims against the estate, making it one of the most famous of Texas civil law suits. Tom Bean is buried in the Willow Wild cemetery in Bonham, Texas.

The Tom Bean Tom Cats are the local high school football team.
