Noru Developments 02

An 8092 parcel available in Horisme *right next* to the Rubi Forest. You bet I would jump all over this deal if I hadn’t already bought in Noru. Am I tempted to switch? Sure I am! But strangely I really like the Noru parcel — it seems to have unique qualities. So although I could switch I’m thinking I won’t now. I’ve rocked the Rubi experience last winter. If a deal comes around again it comes around again. But it looks like I’m passing on this option. Hmm.

Noru native Karoz will soon be out and about again, I’m thinking.

… because several hours later the house was gone, replaced by the Power Tower Gowlery on the far east side of my new Noru land. The place has transformed into Collagesity, highlighted by four of my galleries: Gallery Jack (2006-2009 collages), SoSo (2007 collages), Power Tower (2013 collages), and Fal Mouth Moon (2014 collages; most recent).

Notes:

Still have over half my allotted prims free for skybox developments, or a bit under a 1000. Groundside, Collagesity seems basically finished already, except for some interior decorating of the smaller buildings. Is this an actual town like Rubi’s VWX Town? Not really. It’s a totally personal sphere — all my art — and there’s little to connect it to other people’s art. I simply do not have the room this time, and my collages are more numerous than ever before thanks to huge steps forward in 2013 (Gilatona-Lis series) and 2014 (Falmouth series). About 100 collages produced just in the last year and a half (!).

Also on the property are the old VWX Town City Hall, an A-frame house, and the Hole in the Wall bar, which lies at the west end of Drunk Man’s Ridge.

Snapshot1008_009

The only pool of water on the property has been created at its east end, containing 3 schools of yellow fish. Not much else in the way of internal topographic features. Trees are mostly found proximate to parcel boundaries.

It’s really a beautiful place, and seems quite large despite being less than 1/2 the area of Rubi’s VWX Town, my last larger parcel. More magic of Noru, I suppose. I’ve owned or rented in this sim quite a number of times now, starting in 2009. A review is in order — perhaps a building devoted to my history with Noru, like I did with Rubi before.

3:42am update:

Gallery Jack has been replaced by the Toxic Art Gallery to save ground space. This also eliminates the need for the SoSo Gallery, since the Oblong series is included in the TAG. Great! Now SoSo might become the Noru History Center. 1011 prims remaining on the property.

Stan asks his parents for permission to see Cartman’s grandmother in Nebraska for the holidays, but is denied, then sent to his room for refusing to eat dinner. Feeling disillusioned with the idea of family, he runs off to Cartman’s house just in time to join the other boys. On the way to his Grandma’s house, Cartman and his mother sing “Over the River and Through the Woods” repeatedly, driving the other boys crazy. When they cross the border into Nebraska, the scenery goes from green and snow to endless wheat fields and grey skies (a sign reads “You are now in Nebraska, sorry”).

New Land

I’m back in Noru after a several year lapse of ownership there. This time I bought a long 7680 square meter strip of land at the very top of the sim from my former neighbor Olando7 Decosta, who has or at least had strong Chilbo connections.* He was my neighbor during my first stay in Noru. At the time I owned a 5120 parcel immediately south of the present land. And then afterwards, for several years on, I rented or owned a number of other Noru parcels. Immediately after purchasing the present land, I added a 512 parcel to it that was for sale in the west central part of Noru. So my total holdings in the sim amount to 8192, and I’m entitled to lump in another 512 (total: 8704) from somewhere without upping my tier.

It seemed fate to purchase the larger of the 2 properties, since at the time it was the cheapest mainland parcel over 4096 square meters for sale in all of Second Life. Had to get it, you see, since I was already primed for a buy somewhere. Then also last night I began working on the landscaping. My thoughts are to position the Fal Mouth Moon Gallery at the west end of the long parcel, balanced by the Home o’ Fibs at the very east end. In-between would be a lengthy corridor of pure nature, basically, add in some border structures.

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

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

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.

Zap

The Zappers live at the terminus of Frank Park’s 4th Way, Hucka. Chuck and possibly a wife. Like Charlie or Chuck Brown. Chuck represents unification of Zircon (Zappers), or the Confederation. He must be an expert on the history of the Confederation. Not the Confederacy, mind you — Confederation. This would be 1784. Like the United States under the Articles of Confederation (pre-Constitution) from 1781 to 1789.

Joel Maser was a cousin but perhaps distant. He was an Aardvark (Amethyst). Chuck’s name was Chuck Laser. You can see a laser but not a maser. Maser’s are out of sight — distant, perhaps.

Chuck picks 2130 as an address. Anagram of meaningless numbers — just the first 4 numbers. He uses these 4 numbers over again. Doesn’t want to identify himself with any particular slice of history, good or bad. Not the holocast (1942 — Final Solution) nor the discovery of America, another anagram (1492). No, he chooses 2130 for the neutrality. And thus he perhaps chooses the *location* 2130 for the same. It is in Frank Park but yet it isn’t. Chuck’s house lies on Gun Stream, perhaps Gunn Stream. Smaller than a cannon. It also becomes known, perhaps as the Zap Gunn Stream, because of the presence of The Zappers.

Perhaps more clues will thus be found in Philip Dick’s book “The Zap Gun”.

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

The hieroglyphs on the rock outside the house probably tell the story of The Confederation or Zircon. The Confederation’s land tracks to The United States — Cotton is Texas, for example, Olive is Oklahoma and Tin is the OK panhandle. This transfers directly to GNIRPS and Missouri (LINK). Skillet is the pan and also the pan’s handle — Panhandle. I suppose it would also be the Texas Panhandle.

Also related: Gunn, MS/VA. Simpsons related in both cases, specifically “Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Parts 1 and 2)”.

Olive = Oklahoma and Tin = OK Panhandle may be the center but it also spreads out. Eob = Illinois and Monkey City is Chicago if so. Bridee is Michigan or perhaps centered around the 2 St. Joseph rivers whose source lies close to each other. In hyperspace/time these rivers become St. Johns with sources joined. Michigan becomes the St. John’s severed head. Gurr is Indiana or Ohio — both. Antville is Columbus (Cleveland + Cinncinnati?). Then the whole east coast is more ill defined but covered by Middle Gurr with its Scarlet and Uranium states. Sprurel (Spring Squirrel) is New Orleans, perhaps, or the Fla. panhandle extended west to N.O. Vinee is kind of Tennesse. Wurme is kind of Kentucky and Missouri together. Bean is Missouri. Kob is kind of Indiana again. So what is the center? It appears to be Monkey City = Chicago or else Bridgee = St. Johns’ Rivers united. And a second center is Tin-Olive = Oklahoma, with Tin City = the panhandle as a whole. Tinsity is now an important center of Frank/Herman Park mythology as of several years ago. Named for Tin S. Man of Oz fame, but an alternate or variant Tinman who instead works for Alma, not Ozma. Alma is Ozma’s cousin, perhaps distant (like Maser to Laser — see 1st of this post).

2130: What plans were made within? Who is remaking and repairing the 4th Way even as I write these recent posts on the subject?

Is 2130 the headquarters of GNIRPS?

Charon 01

Of course this will commonly be mispelled Sharon.

Sharon, Georgia (Taliaferro County; grayed circle):

650px-Taliaferro_County_Georgia_Incorporated_and_Unincorporated_areas_Crawfordville_Highlighted

Charon, moon of Pluto:

Plutao-e-Caronte

Conclusion: Sharon is likewise The Moon of Crawfordsville.

Taliaferro County /ˈtɒlɪvər/ is a county located in the U.S. state of Georgia. As of the 2010 census, the population was 1,717,[2] making it the second-least populous county east of the Mississippi River (after Issaquena County, Mississippi). The county seat is Crawfordville.

I wonder if Hucka D. has anything to say about this? (pause) Apparently not. This is my space. Space.

—–

Oh, and there happens to be a second Sharon in Georgia, in *Telfair* County, which looks a lot like Taliferro in spelling and contains all the same letters minus the “o” (no other relationship I can spot, however). Unlike the first, the Telfair County Sharon is not incorporated. Parts of Telfair lie directly south of Taliferro.*

Pluto-Charon_System

Now the immediate reason I name this place Sharon, or the area Sharon (centered by New Monkey City) is because of the presence of not one but multiple ladyslippers. Ladyslipper (town) was the capital of Mythos’ Sharon.

Charon may have been an ancient ampitheatre because of its shape. That’s perhaps at least part of the mythology of the place now.

A stone was at its center. Perhaps these are the rounded stones from Mythopolis, that traveled on the last bit of maple from Monkey City. Mom asked me for rounded stones at the end of the day today — my last “task” — and I looked around the old Monkey City area among other places for them. Very tired and also cranky by that time. Something to remember her by.

Tronesis’ Colony of Slippermen could relate to Ladyslipper concept. Colony of Slippermen could also = Sharon.

When New Monkey City was established my guess is that the inhabitants named it Sharon for the Mythos province — perhaps Sharon had just been renamed Chrysoberyl and incorporated into Wazob, and the New Monkey Cy. people identified their own independence with that of Sharon before this reluctant incorporation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charon_%28moon%29

Charon was originally known by the temporary designation S/1978 P 1, according to the then recently instituted convention. On June 24, 1978, Christy first suggested the name Charon as a scientific-sounding version of his wife Charlene’s nickname, “Char.”[19]
Charon discovery image with description

Although colleagues at the Naval Observatory proposed Persephone, Christy stuck with Charon after discovering it coincidentally refers to a Greek mythological figure:[19] Charon is the ferryman of the dead, closely associated in myth with the god Hades, whom the Romans identified with their god Pluto. Official adoption of the name by the IAU waited until late 1985 and was announced on January 3, 1986.[20]

There is minor debate over the preferred pronunciation of the name. The practice of following the classical pronunciation established for the mythological ferryman Charon is used by major English-language dictionaries such as the Merriam-Webster and Oxford English Dictionary.[21][22] These indicate only one pronunciation of “Charon” when referring specifically to Pluto’s moon: with an initial “k” sound. Speakers of many languages other than English, and many English-speaking astronomers as well, follow this pronunciation.[23]

However, Christy himself pronounced the ch in the moon’s name as sh (IPA [ʃ]), after his wife Charlene. Because of this, as an acknowledgement of Christy and sometimes as an in-joke or shibboleth, the initial sh pronunciation is common among astronomers when speaking English,[24][23][25][26] and this is the prescribed pronunciation at NASA and of the New Horizons Pluto mission team.[27][28]

Sharon understood itself as having a 1:8 relationship with neighboring Whitehead X-ing. Separate but making one system, just like Charon and Pluto, another 1:8 volume relationship.

Sharon’s inhabitants originally landed in the equivalent of the Temple of TILE or cubic version of Edwardston Sta. Gallery. 30×30 meters, then. This original ship hovered over the central ground town for some years. I believe it may have even contained the entire “Art 10×10”, since Robinson is on the edge of Taliferro County with county seat Crawfordsville.

Crawford County, Illinois

This may also have been the original Chromacube, which is 12×12 instead of 10×10 if so. However, there are 6 floors to the Edwardston Sta. Gallery, or half of 12.

It was very important for the people of Sharon to remain independent from WH X-ing. They saw this as Sharon remaining ind. of Wazob — directly. It makes sense that the people of Sharon are directly *from* Mythos’ Sharon, launching their rocket just before their home country’s merger with Wazob. Sharon, Blue Mtn. represents the bit of Sharon, Mythopolis that is unique and independent from Wazob. Did Wazob also outlaw toy avatars at this time?

(cont.): These people of Sharon who didn’t identify with the unification of Wazob may have gone to Edwardston to secure a rocketship that could fly them to Blue Mtn. and Frank Park. Did the rocketship basically have only one possible destination? Was Edwardston the only place or one of the very few places in Wazob where rocketships were located and could be launched from? Or did they take their own chromacube(s)?

Sharron or Sharon was the last star forward of the Emerald Elephants college basketball team, last of a quite long list of star players there which also included Moss, Meade, and Greenburg. Costello and Whitehead were stars over at neighboring STI.

More ideas: these people took a “piece” of Carrcassonne in order to rejuvenate her at Blue Mountain and New Sharon. Carrcassonnee = the alien “glop” form of Mythos’ Sharon. She is Sharon. At Blue Mtn., however, she took a different form.

The ladyslippers are now wilting at New Sharon.

* The first 7 letters of Taliferro, in fact, make a direct anagram of Telfair. Peculiar!
