Feb. 24th, 2005 @ 04:44 pm Annoying Affectations: QUESTspeak, The Acceptable UMMM, & Intentional Word Repetition
Current Mood: creative
Current Music: Marilyn Manson (LEST WE FORGET [The Best Of])
And now for something completely different:

A man with three buttocks!

Just kidding. But I do think that's the first Monty Python reference I've made since I started things up here at LiveJournal on 1/17/2005. So this is a special day! Anyway, I digress. In addition to being a mathematician, a scientist, an IT Professional, and a seeker of All Things Paranormal, I am also a spotter of cultural trends and a life-long student of Humanity's pretensions. Ever since I was a little kid, it's like I can see right through people. Straight to the heart of their intentions. It's almost like I'm an Alien Observer (named Jala*AN?) who's evaluating the risks and benefits of making First Contact. A quick example from the "spotter of cultural trends" category: Search on the word "Kidult" in Google. See what you find. Guess what? I invented that term in 1980 to describe a new kind of big-kid-hybrid-adult that I saw evidence of all around me. I found that this type of person was emerging way back in 1980 and I shared that concept (and the "Kidult" term) with literally thousands of people throughout the course of the early 80's. That term is now used by nearly every big advertising company in the world - they use it describe exactly that type of person - the big-kid-hybrid-adult (usually male). Did I copyright the term for some kind of "proof"? No, I didn't. I don't really need proof. I'm not interested in claiming the rights to any of the things that come to me intuitively. While it might be nice to get some royalties on some of this stuff, I'm already very well paid (as you know) from my "normal" work as a Systems Analyst and IT Project Manager.

Today's lesson will focus on three very annoying Speech Affectations that I've observed over the years. Here we go.

1- QUESTspeak (first observed in Boulder, CO in 1987 but was already well underway even by then) - This is the annoying habit of using question-like inflection at the end of a sentence that's actually a statement and not a question. It's become so commonplace in this day and age that you probably don't even notice it anymore. At any rate, when I first arrived in Boulder in 1987, I certainly hadn't heard anyone doing it before. But back then it was very regional. The folks I observed doing it most often, way back then, were from Chicagoland and Upstate NY. Sometimes, it's polite - as in "do you know what I mean?" Other times, it's completely condescending as in "you couldn't POSSIBLY understand what I'm saying to you but I'm saying it anyway." We run into QUESTspeakers each and every day. We hear them in the media. We can only do our best to discern the reasons why the subject chooses the affectation. Good luck! My usual response to someone who's practicing the condescending version is to say "Is that a question?" Usually, that BURNS them up. And they realize what they've done. It's so funny when the QUESTspoken response actually causes confusion around the condescending user's actual intentions. At that moment, the listeners are saying "well, was that a question or was that an answer?" I must admit, I am not immune. I will find myself, every once and a while and quite innocently mind you, slipping in a QUESTspoken response. Of course, it's usually of the "do you know what I mean?" non-condescending variety. Usually.


2- The Acceptable UMMM (first observed in the NY metropolitan region in 1995) - If you're old enough, you remember a time when putting an UMMM into your sentences was frowned upon. It meant that you didn't have a proper grasp on the ideas and thoughts you were presenting. NO LONGER! Now, it's a sign of UBERintelligence to sprinkle some UMMMs (or UHHHs) throughout one's presentation. The users of the Acceptable UMMM (or UHHH) think that it adds a more humane quality to their responses and allows the listener time to reflect, along with the speaker, upon the greatness of the words being spoken. Of course, there are other examples where the person is a little child or very shy and the UMMM/UHHH is genuine. But most adults using this today are doing it for the drama. And it's an affectation that I find to be particularly annoying. Listen for it.


3- Intentional Word Repetition (first observed in the NY metropolitan region in 1997) - We hear this one more and more often from TV reporters but, I can assure you, it's practiced during our everyday interactions as well. This is not to be confused with stuttering. Stuttering is a neurological disorder. That's not what this is. This is a Human Being who's very caught up in their presentation and they want to make sure we're sharing in the excitement (THE DRAMA) as well. Real-life example: "Peter, if you could see the the the looks on these children's faces as their loved ones meet them here at Newark Liberty. It's it's it's truly remarkable. It really is." Transcripts of this annoying individual's remarks will most likely leave out the repeated words (thinking them to be a typo). But believe me, they're there. Listen for this one and see if you can discern why the non-stuttering Human Being would choose to repeat certain words within the sentence that you're hearing. It's all about THE DRAMA, folks! It's them making sure you feel the excitement and the importance of their words - just like they do!

We are truly living in an era of The Great Communicators! Or so they would have us believe. HA!!!

Current Music: The Police (GHOST IN THE MACHINE)
From the Summer of 1980 and in honor of Drew Barrymore's 30th Birthday (2/22) ---

"At this point, the experience I was having was very private - I hadn't told a soul. I approached a woman at the newspaper who was into numerology and astrology and asked her what it meant if someone kept seeing the same number all the time. She said 'I don't know, but I keep seeing 222 all the time and it's really starting to piss me off !!!'

I thought I was dreaming. How could she be saying this? I hadn't told anyone about my experience until that moment. I said 'You're not gonna believe this, but I was going to ask you why I keep seeing 111 all the time!' We were both a little scared by this. The probability that we would both be having such a similar strange experience seemed very low. At that very moment, I began to think that I was experiencing something paranormal - something that could not be explained with conventional scientific tools."

> What is your analysis of the number 220?

One might simply stop at "well, it's the total number of verses in Crowley's Liber Legis." But I, JAHLON (aka Jala*AN, aka J'lahn), would also offer the following on 220:

1) It's a bloated, distorted, and very distant relative of 22, the number of letters in the Living Language of Light.

2) 220 never stopped. Tenfold times it kept going - needlessly overshooting its goal. In the end, it wishes it had never left home.

3) And finally, it's The Fool [0] pressing its playful phallus right up against The Most Holy 22's midsection. An act of Unholy Blasphemy to be sure, but it's also giving 220 false hopes. False hopes that
some still find it attractive.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. And yes, it's a thinly-veiled swipe at Crowley's misuse of the number. And THE BOOK OF THE LAW, too!

Any questions, let me know...

Feb. 18th, 2005 @ 06:33 pm Before the Weekend: Quick Note about AN
Current Mood: content
Current Music: News, not music (wcbs880.com)
AN.

Pronounced AHHHN (not ANNE). As in JAHLON, J'lahn, and Jala*AN. And ANKS (Wolfram's A NEW KIND OF SCIENCE). And ANS2. It comes up quite often on this little planet of ours. Always has. ANgels. ANtichrist. satAN. ANtipasto. ANdromeda. ANgelo Badalamenti (score composer for most of David Lynch's work). kANsas. The list goes on and on and on. Ahhhn and ahhhn and ahhhn.

It could be AN. It could be ON. As in ON ON ON (111). You know. Just thought I would put this AN/ON teaser out there. And since LJ seems to be taking updates right now, what better time!

From Solara's Nvisible Dictionary [entry for AN] ---

"The Sacred Union of the Sun & Moon into One Being. Also: The merger of male and female polarities into Oneness which occurs within our own beings. Also: An ancient, great star lineage which corresponds with the central star in the belt of Orion presently called Al Nilam. Many of us are part of the Family of AN. The elders of AN are called the Annutara. Some of them walk among us today. The symbol for AN used to be a Sun above a reclining crescent Moon. Since the Second Gate Activation in 1993, this symbol has changed and the upright crescent Moon is now found within the Sun. They now share the same eye.

Ancient Usage: AN was an early God of Sun & Moon as One Being in ancient Egypt. The Temple of AN was located in Heliopolis which is now part of Cairo. The priests of AN also built Stonehenge at a later time. The Tower of Light of AN was located in the Andes Mountains of Peru. Civilizations created by AN have similar characteristics: they worship the Sun & Moon and are ruled by husband and wife who are also brother and sister."

We will explore AN together in the very near future. AN is a key. Somehow. That sound. AHHHN. It's not OM. It's AN. Or ON. OK, that's it. Let's hit Update and see if she takes! Again, have a good weekend!

Free Expression Can Be Costly When Bloggers Bad-Mouth Jobs
By Amy Joyce, Washington Post Staff Writer

Under the pseudonym of Sarcastic Journalist, Rachel Mosteller wrote this entry on her personal Web log one day last April:

"I really hate my place of employment. Seriously. Okay, first off. They have these stupid little awards that are supposed to boost company morale. So you go and do something 'spectacular' (most likely, you're doing your JOB) and then someone says 'Why golly, that was spectacular.' then they sign your name on some paper, they bring you chocolate and some balloons.

"Okay two people in the newsroom just got it. FOR DOING THEIR JOB."

This post, like all entries in Mosteller's online diary, did not name her company or the writer. It did not name co-workers or bosses. It did not say where the company was based. But apparently, Mosteller's supervisors and co-workers at the Durham (N.C.) Herald-Sun were well aware of her Web log.

The day after that posting, she was fired.

[snip]

As you know, I've gone to great lengths to keep the name of the company I work for a secret. You will not find it in ANY of the material I have EVER put out on the web. And you certainly won't find it in this Blog. Not that I'm one of those unfortunate souls who has a boring job that sucks working for a sucky piddly-ass company. On the contrary, the company I work for is awesome. The people I work with are smart, sharp, and clever. And fun! But will you ever catch me Blogging about it? NEVER.

It's just a policy I've had for years. I learned the hard way (in the Pre-Internet days) not to tell strangers who I work for. Unfortunately, they can use it against you. I only had to have that happen once to know that letting anyone other than close friends and family know about work details is inviting disaster. It's hard to imagine why anyone would go on and bash their work in a Blog. These things are indexed in Google, for cryin' out loud!

I give away a lot of personal details. TONS. But who I work for and work-related details are closely guarded secrets. And it's going to stay that way. Yup.

p.s. --- Don't worry, http://www.the111experience.org/ has actually been cleared by my Corporate Security department. Had to make a few adjustments, actually, to get the ALL CLEAR. But in the end, it's perfectly OK for me to share what I share. My company is very big on letting us be ourselves as long as it doesn't interfere with our work. And my Paranormal Side, while a key aspect of my personality, stays very separate and distinct from my "normal" side. You know, my 3-D Earth Techno-Geek Humanoid side.

Current Mood: relieved
Current Music: News, not music (wcbs880.com)
Happy Valentine's Day 2005, everyone!

First off, I would like to point out the obvious - 99% of the people who think this holiday is shallow, or silly, or completely a Hallmark fraud, are very much alone today. In other words, most of the folks who are bitter about this day are simply the ones who don't have someone special to share it with! Like WE do. HOW 'BOUT THEM APPLES?!

On the blogging/writing front, I risked confrontation and posted some thoughts in some places I used to post at back in the good old pre-LJ days. I KNOW, I KNOW - I'M BREAKING MY OWN RULES! On Friday, 2/11, I posted in

1) a Usenet society for misfits and weirdoes (that I have a life-long membership in)
2) a forum for the users of a new piece of telecommunications hardware I recently purchased
3) a message board for collectors of a certain non-sports trading card that I have been collecting for over 33 years

BIG MISTAKE. I got suckered into a number of Flame Wars with some of the old sparring partners I had "let go" of. At first, it felt good. Vibrant and refreshing. I thought, for a few minutes, that I actually missed the back-and-forth of a good Usenet brawl. But after the 2nd, 3rd, and even 4th rounds of this nonsense with these, what amount to complete strangers when you come right down to it, it really started to BORE me. I mean, what's the point? Sharing my thoughts with them, I thought, would be a treat. You know, it's been many moons since I stopped posting (for good) at these places. Don't know why I went back. But it did show me that my fire-breathing ARIES spirit is still alive and well, that much is certain. I still can't let anything slip by without feeling the need to pummel (verbally) the other "player" in the verbal battle. But then I remembered why I stopped doing that. I stopped doing that simply because it had lost its appeal. I was reminded of how boring and predictable it had become. So now I'm back here full time at LJ. I really love writing. And sharing. I know that the 30+ folks a day who link to this journal through my 111experience.org site must enjoy what I'm writing. They wouldn't keep coming back if they didn't! And I don't even have a count for the folks who might happen to see me at New Posts who come in to see what this "Beyond the ||||_|||_|||| Shadow Puppets" stuff is all about. What it's all about is me sharing with The Universe. FOR FREE! And not having to listen to the "noise" that might come back! JOY!

Here are the posts that set folks off. I'll put them here so that they can experience the simple joys of being part of a comment-free blog. It's hard to believe that each one them represented the start of a fire-storm, but they did! They'll go in the order listed above:


1) Subject: One Good Thing in a Sea of UPN-Paramount LIES?

Hi.

I, like most of us, was thinking we wouldn't see an updated version for
another 3 years. Looks like they can start working on it as soon as she
wraps in May.

2) Class Action Lawsuit Against T-Mobile and Danger? It's Time!

Hi.

Sorry to hear/feel the pain expressed in this thread, but at least now I know that I am not alone in my frustration. This product, which most of the time offers completely unreliable service especially when it comes to e-mail and web browsing (outages, slowness, etc.) IS A FRAUD!!!

The question is simple: Who's MAD AS HELL and not willing to take it anymore?

How about a Class Action Lawsuit against Danger AND T-Mobile for thinking it was OK to foist this dog on the market? What would we want? A complete refund for the cost of the device plus retroactive billing credits for poor service. The service they are providing (or NOT providing, I should say) is sub-par and is in violation of the contracts we all signed. T-Mobile and DANGER (BTW, what kind of name is that?!) find themselves in a very actionable situation.

So... Who's as pissed off as I am? Who wants retroactive bill credits for poor service? Who wants the price of the DOG OF A DEVICE fully refunded?

Who wants justice? I do.

MAD AS HELL (and going to do something about it),

Current Mood: busy
Current Music: News, not music (wtopnews.com)
Here you go:

For Key 1b (11:11), I chose an enzyme with a classification that had correspondences into The Horned One. Why did I do this? I did this because, right now, 11:11 is a lightning rod for showcasing Duality - quite simply, the stereotyped "bad" vs. the stereotyped "good". Yes, it's all very basement level but unfortunately, basement level is the order of the day for most folks out there when it comes to 11:11. Very few of them have gotten past the "social" aspects of the pattern. Many view it as a tool for creating social interaction (the "OMG, you see it too?" crowd) and haven't yet gotten into exploring its Esoteric nature.

That will change one day very soon, but for now, I wanted the Key associated with 11:11 to have ties into The Horned One, who Itself has strong correspondences to the being our Christian friends call The Devil.

So I looked for an enzyme that contained that Big Ol' 666 "sign of the devil" pattern. And I found 1.6.6.6 which is commonly known as Hyponitrite Reductase. And it was published this way. Then a rather curious thing happened. An amazing thing, actually. In 2002, Hyponitrite Reductase's classification was changed to something completely different - something that contained no evidence of 666 at all. It was changed to 1.7.1.5 and 1.6.6.6 was "retired". To me, this was completely symbolic of what will happen on Earth with any lingering connections 11:11 may have to "evil" (stereotyped evil, I mean). The fact that the 1.6.6.6 classification was active from 1961 to 2002 and then abruptly changed within 1 year of me fixing its correspondence to 11:11 is absolutely amazing to me.

Why was this done? I don't know. But the fact that I had taken this obscure enzyme and attached it to 11:11 simply because its enzyme classification number contained 666 is fully documented. The fact that it then changed to something completely different after that is also fully documented.

There is a message in there. And it's a big one. It's all about 11:11's journey from where it is now (stuck in Duality) to where it will be later (in a space of ONE-NESS). After all, 11:11=11/11=1. More info about that journey (and why The Horned One has a connection to 11:11) can be found here:

http://www.the111experience.org/PatientZERO.html
http://www.the111experience.org/CipherClues.html

More info about the movement of Hypontrite Reductase's classification can be found here:
http://www.chem.qmul.ac.uk/iubmb/enzyme/EC1/7/1/5.html (see the note at the bottom of the listing) .

I'll save Key 1c (which used to be known as the "third" key) until UNDER THE HOOD Part III (next week some time?). You know, since 3=7 (as in 3=III=111=7) and 1c is all about the ALL_SEVEN. Again: correspondences between the physical nature of the substances referenced and the broader journey we're all on with 111 and 11:11 will one day be discovered. This will form Parts II and III of The Three Keys. Again, for now, it is still THE THREE KEYS. Not just The One (aka Part I).

Get it? Got it? Good!

If you've followed my work for any length of time, you'll know that I am big on "correspondences." What is a "correspondence" you might ask? Well, for most people, it's a piece of mail or some form of communication - either inbound or outbound. But for my work with 111, 11:11, and all things Esoteric ("Esoterotica"), it's these:

a) the agreement of things with one another
b) a particular similarity
c) a relation between sets in which each member of one set is associated with one or more members of the other

These Correspondences can be defined by others or they can be defined by me. In the case of The Three Keys, it's a combination. I've joined together bits of numbers and letters and concepts ("correspondences") into three distinct entities. These are the three parts to Part I of the Three Keys.

Why Enzymes?
Well, quite simply, I wanted to add something into the mix that would act as a catalyst for the correspondences I was presenting. Think of them as Esoteric Catalysts. I must add a quick PSA right here and now for anyone who doesn't know my background: In addition to knowing more mathematics than 95% of my fellow human beings (that's a very conservative estimate, by the way), I also have an extensive background in Chemistry, Biology, and Biochemistry. Sure, all that coursework was from the early 80s, but I've been keeping my knowledge in this area up-to-date through self-study in newer versions of the textbooks I used way back when. So… bringing Enzymes into my Esoteric work represents a fusion of my hard-core scientific knowledge base with my "Way Out There" Esoteric studies. [End of PSA]. So I wanted a catalyst, a quickening agent if you will, to be a part of this bold new set of correspondences that I was laying down. And what better way to choose the substances than by using the accepted tools for labeling and classifying them. Some of the tools and databases that use this common labeling system are as follows:

http://www.chem.qmul.ac.uk/iubmb
http://www.brenda.uni-koeln.de/
http://www.ergo-light.com/EMP

I scanned these databases for enzymes that already had the desired correspondences to the numbers and characters that were already a part of the framework I had in place. And again, those three parts of the framework were based on my own, very personal, spiritual progression that's been in motion ever since I was three. It all started with 111, then came 11:11, and then came the Fusion (ALL_SEVEN or II_III_II). I won't go into how II_III_II is currently undergoing a migration to IIII_III_IIII right now. That will be a good topic for a future UNDER THE HOOD session.

Fixing the Correspondences:
For Key 1a (111), I chose an enzyme with a classification number 1.1.1.21 --- "111 to 1" --- a ratio that, for all intents and purposes, *is* 111. Aldehyde Reductase had now become affixed to 111 simply by my declaration (and the globally recognized classification number for the substance!). More info about 1.1.1.21 can be found here:

http://www.chem.qmul.ac.uk/iubmb/enzyme/EC1/1/1/21.html

The amazing story behind Key 1b (11:11) will be featured in the next entry of UNDER THE HOOD (maybe tomorrow or Thursday?). One final thing to note: there are definitely undiscovered correspondences between the physical nature of the substances referenced and the broader journey we're all on with 111 and 11:11. Discovering those new correspondences is part of what my work with The Three Keys is focused on now. In other words, some day, there will be two more parts added. After all, it is THE THREE KEYS.

Feb. 5th, 2005 @ 11:01 am More ANGER About ST:ENT's Cancellation...
Current Mood: angry
Current Music: Video, Not Music [Indexing a tape of DARIA episodes]

You know, the more this story gets played out the more annoying it gets. Now we have all these know-nothings who never made it past TOS (The Original Series) saying that it was "time to let it go" and that somehow, this new element of the franchise wasn't delivering. Wasn't delivering ratings on UPN? Is that a joke? What really does deliver REAL ratings on UPN? A great example of the Annoying Pundits Phenomena appeared in today's Lawrence Journal-World (our local paper).

http://www.ljworld.com/section/citynews/story/195321

Anyone who says something like this: "In some ways it has grown a little tired, but I don't think this is the end of it" just doesn't get it. IN SOME WAYS? IT HAS GROWN TIRED? Can I swear here? I think we can. I've seen it in other journals. I won't make it a habit, but it might come in handy on occasions like this. Here goes:

Oh please, just shut the FUCK up! [glaring at James Gunn, a professor emeritus in English at KU who is responsible for the lame quote above]

Anyone who thinks ST:ENT was a part of the franchise "growing tired" just wasn't paying attention. Especially given the quality storytelling we've seen in S4. The only thing that has grow tiresome in any way is the apathy from all the fans that never made it past TOS. If I hear one more person say that TOS represented the franchise's best moments, I'm gonna puke! Figuratively speaking, of course. Thank God that comments are off and I won't have to debate this with anyone! Ahhhhhhh... what a joy! Clearly, TOS had some good moments. But everything that happened in the ST Universe since ST:TNG in 1987 until now is a key part of the story. To ignore it, is simply the sign of a closed, mostly inferior mind. YES: THIS MEANS YOU!

The bottom line is that ST:ENT represents quality Sci-Fi television and, as such, doesn't have many viewers. But still, I'm very disappointed with all the Trek fans who never gave this show a chance. And one more thing: even though the show was great, the theme song did completely suck. Totally inappropriate. I've shared my feelings on that over the years on Usenet, I'm not going to rehash it here. Here's one of those threads:

http://groups-beta.google.com/groups?q=theme song sucks s4 st:ent

So... this is me being angry. I'm angry that the show won't be with us for new episodes in the fall. I'm angry with UPN. And I'm angry with all the fans who never signed on. But I'll get over it. "ST:ENT - The Box Sets" start out with S1 in May. And it will be in syndication in the fall. So... we won't be without Trek. But we'll be without new Trek for the first time in 18 years.

And that still sucks.

Well, this really sucks. I've been a really big fan of this element of the franchise for four long years. As have millions of others. Most of us expected that when we made it through last year, we would go the full 7 seasons. This season, by all accounts, is superb. Something's not right here. Maybe it's a ploy to start a "fan outrage" movement. Count me in! The same great group of folks that got us a Season 4 have stepped up to the plate to get us a Season 5. Go here now:

The sad details as they stood earlier today:

02.03.2005
Star Trek: Enterprise Canceled!

After four seasons, Star Trek: Enterprise has reached the end of its mission ...
PRESS RELEASE

UPN and Paramount Network Television have jointly announced that this will be the final season of Star Trek: Enterprise on UPN. [Production will continue until the end of this season, which will finish shooting in March.] The series finale will air on Friday, May 13, 2005.

"Star Trek has been an important part of UPN's history, and Enterprise has carried on the tradition of its predecessors with great distinction," said Dawn Ostroff, President, Entertainment, UPN. "We'd like to thank Rick Berman, Brannon Braga and an incredibly talented cast for creating an engaging, new dimension to the Star Trek universe on UPN, and we look forward to working with them, and our partners at Paramount Network Television, on a send-off that salutes its contributions to The Network and satisfies its loyal viewers."

David Stapf, President of Paramount Network Television, said, "The creators, stars and crew of Star Trek: Enterprise ambitiously and proudly upheld the fine traditions of the Star Trek franchise. We are grateful for their contributions to the legacy of Trek and commend them on completing nearly 100 exciting, dramatic and visually stunning episodes. All of us at Paramount warmly bid goodbye to Enterprise, and we all look forward to a new chapter of this enduring franchise in the future."

A prequel to the original "Star Trek" series, STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE premiered on UPN on Sept. 26, 2001, and aired for its first three seasons on Wednesdays (8:00-9:00PM, ET/PT). On Oct. 8, 2004, STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE moved into its current time on Fridays (8:00-9:00PM, ET/PT). Through its four-year run, STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE produced a total of 98 episodes and earned four Emmy Awards.



Berman Reacts To Enterprise

Rick Berman, executive producer of the just-canceled Star Trek: Enterprise, told SCI FI Wire that he was surprised not by UPN's decision, but by the fact that viewers continued to tune out the series despite a marked improvement in quality, strong reviews and guest appearances by the likes of Brent Spiner. "Nobody is more surprised about that than we are here," Berman said of the precipitous fan drop-off in an interview conducted after UPN announced Enterprise's fate. "We've always seemed to have a big drop from before Christmas to after Christmas, which I've never quite understood."

Enterprise attracted more than 13 million viewers in its debut, but by the fourth season, that audience had fallen to just 2.9 million.

Berman added: "I think the whole network had a big drop from before Christmas until after Christmas. I am not only very proud of the shows that we've done so far for the fourth season, but the shows that we've done that haven't aired yet are undoubtedly some of the best shows that we've produced. I don't think it has to do with the quality of the show. That just might be ego speaking, but I think we've done a great job. If you look at the performance of [Star Trek] Nemesis, you see what I think was a terrific movie that did not perform anywhere near as expected. I think that's been happening with Enterprise." The 2002 movie Nemesis grossed $43 million domestically and had foreign ticket sales of $23 million, the worst performer in the film series.

Berman is the man who has been principally responsible for shepherding the Trek franchise since he was handed the reins by Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. "Whether you want to call it viewer apathy or franchise fatigue or any of the cute little titles that people have come up with, I think it's the case," Berman said. "We've figured out that we've produced 624 hours of Star Trek over the last 18 years, and of those 18 seasons, seven of them we did two shows simultaneously. It's a lot of television. And each show has had the previous shows in reruns to compete with. Climates have changed. I think you can just squeeze so many eggs out of the old golden goose." Berman and Enterprise co-executive Brannon Braga are penning a series finale that will air on May 13.

Current Mood: thankful

Well, it's 2/1. Time to roll up my sleeves and start some Major Divulgin'. Yup. OK, here we go and Here They Are:

:: Key I (a) ::
Aldehyde Reductase
w/Number
Aleph*Gimel*Kaph
3=III=111=7

:: Key I (b) ::
Hyponitrite Reductase
w/Text

11:11 = 22=HEXF=15=TheHornedOne=OMEGA=1

:: Key I (c) ::
DNA-Directed DNA Polymerase
w/Communication
Yod*He*Vau
11_111_11=II_III_II= ALL-SEVEN

OK. Soak 'em in. Soak them in as long as you need to. Then, and only then, continue reading.

"Three Keys Part I, V15.3" Factoids, Hidden Meanings, and Positioning for the Future:

* All the chemical substances are ENZYMES. They all end with -ase. If something ends with -ase, it's an ENZYME. Remember that. What is an ENZYME? Well, it's "any of several complex proteins that are produced by cells and act as catalysts in specific biochemical reactions." What's a catalyst? Well, it's "a substance that initiates or accelerates a chemical reaction without itself being affected." So why are there ENZYMES in the Three Keys? And why these particular ENZYMES? I'll save that for later.

* The Three Keys started out as Keys 1, 2, and 3. But, of course, I used Roman Numerals. I proudly launched Version 14.7 of The Three Keys and the a, b, and c you see above was actually I, II, and III. Why 14.7? Well, it certainly wasn't Version 1. Or even Version 10. It had been evolving for much longer than that. So I pegged it as 14.7 --- partly because of my fondness for 4/7 which happens to be my birthday. It was quite some time later, after I published the Three Keys on Usenet, that I realized something else significant about 14.7. At sea level, the weight of air upon the earth's surface is 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi). If you imagine a 1-square-inch area column of air rising from the earth's surface upward into outer space, it would weigh 14.7 pounds. As a result, one standard "atmosphere" has a pressure of 14.7 psi. So that's a little bit more about the initial version numbers. As I reached V15.0, I began to realize that the Three Keys that I thought were complete were only an appetizer. A preamble, if you will. It was at that time that I changed the Three Keys to be "Part I" and added the a, b, and c to denote that we were only looking at the first glimpse of a broader piece of work. "Piece of work" probably made some of you chuckle. I understand. It's like you're hearing a foreign language or some kind of gibberish or pig latin-ized English. That can't be helped. This is going to go in stages.

* Why With Text, With Number and With Communication? Well, this is a direct reference to a line from the Sefer Yetzirah. It speaks about how the Universe was created

"with Three Books,

with text,

with number,

and with communication"

You'll note that the order is different inside the Keys. This was intentional. Key I(a) corresponds to my experience with 111. Key I(b) corresponds to my experience with 11:11. Key I (c) corresponds to my experience with a fusion of those two numbers. The clues: 111 came to me as number, 11:11 came to me as text, and their fusion corresponds to something that was being communicated to me. Now you know the Three Books connection to the Three Keys and you know how/why each "book" was assigned to each part of Key I.


So... that'll just about do it for this inaugural Esoteric Entry. And it's just the tip of the iceberg. We're going to stay with the Three Keys for the next several weeks. Again, there will probably be other non-Esoteric posts that will find their way into public view as we move on through February. I'll post what I'm thinking at any point in time on any number of different topics. "It won't be just the Esoteric Stuff" is our motto here at "Way [WAY] Beyond Mere IIII_III_IIII Shadow Puppets." I know there was a substantial amount of build-up to this first OFFICIAL Esoteric Entry. Clearly, it isn't really the first Esoteric Entry (review the past two weeks if you need to be reminded). But 2/1 ("two-one") has some special significance for me too. I'll share more on that some time down the line. And that's another reason I highlight this day. As it turns out, this date (singled out by me last week some time) has some major significance in the business world too. Watch Bloomberg for the details.

Can't say when I'll be back, but this now concludes our first look under the hood of "the Three Keys of Jala*AN - Part ONE, V15.3" (yes, I did say UNDER THE HOOD).

More pre-2/1 MADNESS!!!

||||_|||_||||

Yes, it's the whole "Time is three eyes and eight elbows" thing again. The whole "ELEVEN DIMENSIONS" thing again.

||||_|||_||||

It's, you guessed it, the whole "ALL_ELEVEN" thing again. The whole "three EYES in the middle and eight ELBOWS on either side" thing again. So then I was looking at The Last Supper as a follow-up to the blatant 111 reference in the DA VINCI CODE (more on that later) and I noticed something oddly familiar. The archways and the windows! 4 archways on each side and 3 windows in the middle. See? SEE? See what DA VINCI brought home for dinner? Look:

IIII_III_IIII

SEE IT? DO YOU SEE ||||_|||_||||??? WELL, DO YOU??? Oh... sorry... comments are off and you can't actually answer me. Anyway...

A stretcher? I don't think so! More to follow...

Current Mood: contemplative
Current Music: News, not music (wcbs880.org)

OK. I'll do some of these Quiz-type things that float around LJ occasionally. But I will NOT call them "memes" (meaning, I will not participate in the overuse/misuse of the word MEME). Here we go. This one is about High School.

1) What year was it?
Graduated in 1980. The "first Cougars of the 80s" I called us in my graduation speech (I was Senior Class President).

2) What were your three favorite bands or musical artists?
YES, PINK FLOYD, FRANK ZAPPA - you know, "old people" music.

3) What was your favorite outfit?
I never wore jeans. Didn't own them. Corduroys and button-up shirts with crazy geometric patterns on them. Sneakers.

4) What was up with your hair?
A little bit over the ears, short in back and mostly "square" looking.

5) Who were your best friends?
Griggsy (still there - going on 38 years) and all the rest of the Gifted Fredon Elite.

6) Where did you work?
Ummm... work? During HS? I guess I was from a socio-economic bracket where kids didn't work during high school. Worked summers at the local paper.

7) Did you take the bus?
Drove my own car (again, if we're talking 1980 - see question #1)

8) Who did you have a crush on?
I would rather not say. K?

9) Did you fight with your parents?
Actually, no, I didn't. My parents were the "cool" parents who kept all our secrets from the other parents.

10) Did you smoke cigarettes?
No way. Only the scummy, less intelligent kids smoked cigarettes.

11) Did you lug all of your books around in your backpack because you were too nervous to find your locker?
Again, I'm too old to have a LiveJournal. I guess we had "gym bags" back then but we didn't lug them around all day.

12) Did you have a 'clique'?
The Gifted Fredon Elite. We were from Fredon Township. We were in all the advanced classes. AND... we were Daily Pot Smokers! My "clique" (the GFE) was active in sports, music and drama, student government, Math League, Chem League, Physics League, and National Honor Society. And did I mention we were Daily Pot Smokers? Hey, it was the late 70s, what can I tell you. We were those non-cigarette-smoking pot smokers who excelled in everything we were involved in. And we were involved in everything. The burnouts were SO jealous. 

13) Admit it, were you popular?
Yes, actually, I was. I was Senior Class President and in all the plays and the musicals. I was very popular. Except with the burnouts, of course. They couldn't understand how a "druggie" could be so successful. It made them very MAD.

14) Who did you want to be just like?
My dad. A scientist and mathematician for the US Department of Defense.

15) What did you want to be when you grew up?
A systems analyst (something to do with computers).

16) Where did you think you'd be at the age you are now?
Dead. I honestly never thought I would live past 18! Then it was 21. Then 30. Then 40. I'll turn 43 on 4/7. Now I think I may live to be in my 90s.

PLEASE NOTE: I stopped smoking pot for good in 1997. I put a 22-year daily habit to bed on 12/21/97. Did it Cold Turkey. I'm over 7 years "clean" at this point. I do miss it. But I'll never go back. I've got a record going, baby. And it's one that I do not intend to break!

Hope you've enjoyed getting to know more about me via this QUIZ-type thing (you know, the thing you mistakenly call a MEME).

Jan. 30th, 2005 @ 10:22 pm From the "Is This a Stretcher?" Department: 111 & Today's Elections in Iraq
Current Mood: bouncy
Current Music: News, not music (wcbs880.com)
Here it is, STILL NOT 2/1 YET, and again I am compelled to share. Like I said, this is going to be FUN FUN FUN!

As I've said in "the 111 experience" (the chronology), it takes a mighty obscure set of 111s to make me sit up and take notice these days. Like when the Ohio lottery's Pick-3 was 1-1-1 on January 11 (1/11) - that's a keeper. Here's another:

http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&lr=&tab=wn&ie=UTF-8&q=111+iraq&btnG=Search+News

There are two very prominent 111s connected to today's election in Iraq.

1) "Voters chose from among 111 parties for members of provincial parliaments..."

and

2) "...an election for a 111-member Kurdistan National Assembly, which will govern the autonomous Kurdish region in northern Iraq."

Now to me, 111 is ALL OVER THE PLACE in this one. All over the place in a very visible and non-trivial way. To me, the results are very clear:

DEFINITELY *NOT* A STRETCHER!

So... what does it mean? Well, if 111 is truly a sign from Beyond The Beyond and something Truly Divine, then it means the future of Iraq will be a bright one and the positive, transformational power of The ONE ONE ONE has absolutely blessed today's election. Which is a good thing.

And I think I'll leave it at that. For now.

First of all, I will admit to probably being too old to have a Blog here at LiveJournal. If the stats are correct, I am either part of an advanced scouting party or I'm hopelessly trapped in my late teens. The stats:
