The path to well-being doesn't always include prescription medications.
Doctors trained in traditional Western ways are increasingly embracing and acknowledging therapies that fall into a category they call "complementary medicine."
The path to well-being doesn't always include prescription medications.
Doctors trained in traditional Western ways are increasingly embracing and acknowledging therapies that fall into a category they call "complementary medicine."
Acupuncture, nasal rinses, nutritional supplements and other approaches that many doctors formerly frowned upon - or at least were skeptical of - are becoming commonplace.
A national survey in 2007 found that almost 40 percent of Americans use complementary or alternative medicine, according to the National Institutes of Health.
This month, in its third strategic plan, the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine emphasized the importance of continued research into natural products and mind and body interventions.
The center pays for and conducts studies and has served as a key resource for many doctors, nurses and others looking to diversify the way they care for patients.
Experts say the integration of complementary medicine has been driven in large part by a growing body of research that has helped legitimize treatments formerly seen as alternative and unproven.
They define complementary medicine as treatments that work in concert with traditional medicine, and alternative medicine as treatments pursued instead of traditional medicine.
The other driving force is patients who are seeking less-
invasive treatments or more-
natural remedies for their ailments.
"I kind of look at the body as having an innate ability to help itself, and if we can help it along, that's what I prefer rather than using medicines," said Dr. Doug DiOrio, who practices at Max Sports Medicine on the city's Northwest Side.
DiOrio, who is trained in integrative medicine, said he believes strongly in complementary approaches and performs acupuncture and myofascial release, a technique in which gentle, sustained pressure is applied to connective tissue.
"Things like irritable-bowel disease, migraine headaches ... in Western medicine, we kind of just throw drugs at them."
But in many cases, DiOrio said, patients don't get better that way. Therapies that restore normal body mechanics and blood flow can allow the body to heal naturally, he said.
But he and Dr. Glen Auckerman, director of Ohio State University's Center for Integrative Medicine, said there are times when drugs and other Western therapies are appropriate.
Aukerman said he has spent a lot of time in recent years focusing on how nutritional needs interact with genetic requirements for better health.
Many of his patients go through elimination diets in which several foods are initially avoided in an attempt to get rid of disease through nutritional changes.
Paula Kobelt, clinical-outcomes manager of pain management and complementary therapies at Grant Medical Center, said she has seen much more acceptance of various complementary approaches in recent years.
They include the hospital's Healing Touch program, in which practitioners use their hands "to either balance or work in the energy field that surrounds your body."
Their work resembles gentle massage, but their hands usually are several inches from the patient's body.
"We always have the best intention in mind for our patients, a very positive intention," Kobelt said. "Most of the time we start working with them, and within five minutes, they're asleep."
At first, skepticism from doctors and nurses was common, but many now refer patients to the program for its benefits in reducing stress and helping with pain, she said.
At least 30 Healing Touch sessions take place each month.
"Our medical staff and our nursing staff is more open-minded to some of these types of therapies as long as they know it is evidence-based. They've seen research to show it can work and it is safe."
Diane Crislip said the best description of how the therapy feels is "soothing."
The 43-year-old Reynoldsburg woman suffers from pseudotumor cerebri, a painful condition that sends her to the hospital frequently. An excess amount of cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in patients with the disorder.
Dr. Patricia Stafford, a radiologist who went to the University of Arizona to complete a fellowship in integrative medicine, is about to open a Dublin practice focused on wellness, nutrition and preventive medicine.
As a radiologist, she liked to spend a lot of time talking with her patients and came to realize that many had questions and concerns that weren't being addressed by their primary-care physicians, or that they didn't feel comfortable discussing with those doctors, Stafford said.
"It's interesting to me to know that actually just good nutrition and exercise is not something that's addressed in traditional medicine, not something we learn in medical school," she said.
Many doctors recommend fruits and vegetables and low-fat diets, but they unlikely to discuss how joint pain can be aggravated by certain types of vegetables, including potatoes, or might not consider that a person's bowel trouble is linked to gluten intolerance, Stafford said.
Supplements including vitamin D and fish oil are more commonly recognized nowadays as beneficial for many patients, but most doctors don't have the time and aren't reimbursed for time spent talking about potential nutritional changes or exercise regimens that might be healing, she said.
"I'd love to see more research and good quality research in the United States for many complementary therapies, and I think that's coming along," Stafford said.
Doctors also need to remain open about talking to patients about what they're taking, she said, because research has shown that most patients won't tell their doctors if they're using an herbal supplement or some other type of complementary medicine.
"I think there's benefit to a lot of complementary therapies, and I think we'll see more and greater benefits. But it has to be done safely."

Dutch Diplomat Beaten in Moscow Amid Political Row
Incident Comes Week After Putin Demands Apology for Alleged Beating of Russian Diplomat
MOSCOW—A high-ranking Dutch diplomat was assaulted in his home in the Russian capital by two men who had forced their way inside, officials said Wednesday. The incident came a week after the Netherlands apologized for the alleged beating of a Russian diplomat by Dutch police in The Hague.
The confrontations come amid increased diplomatic tension between the two countries following Russia's arrest of environmental activists from a Greenpeace ship sailing under a Dutch flag who were protesting last month against offshore drilling...

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said today that the Fed will consider making another large-scale purchase of securities if the slowing economy were to deteriorate significantly and signs of deflation were to flare.
The Fed chief offered his most extensive thoughts yet on how to pull the U.S. economy out of a deepening slump. His remarks came 90 minutes after the government said the economy slowed sharply in the second quarter to a 1.6 percent pace.
Fears are growing that the country could lapse back into a recession. Bernanke described the economic outlook as "inherently uncertain" and said the economy "remains vulnerable to unexpected developments."
Although Bernanke acknowledged the recent pace of growth is "less vigorous than we expected" he still believed the economy would pick up next year. And he again seemed to downplay the odds of an another recession as he sought to bolster already shaky consumer and investor confidence.
Bernanke stopped short of committing to any specific action. But he raised the prospect of another Fed purchase of securities, most likely government debt or mortgage securities, to drive down rates on mortgages and other debt to spur more spending by Americans.
"I believe that additional purchases of longer-term securities should the FOMC choose to undertake them, would be effective in further easing financial conditions." he said. The FOMC stands for the Federal Open Market Committee, the group of Fed policymakers that makes decisions on interest rates and other steps to aid the economy.
The other two options he laid out are:
—Providing more information in the Fed's post-meeting policy statements about how long Fed policymakers would continue to keep rates at record lows. For more than a year, the Fed has been pledging to hold rates at ultra-low levels for an "extended period."
— Cutting to zero the interest the Fed pays for banks to keep money parked at the Fed. That rate is now 0.25 percent.
"The issue at this stage is not whether we have the tools to help support economic activity and guard against disinflation. We do," Bernanke said. "The issue is instead whether, at any given juncture, the benefits of each tool, in terms of additional stimulus, outweigh the associated costs or risks of using each tool."
Investors appeared to be pleased by Bernanke's remarks. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 114 points in early trading. Broader indexes were also up.
Brian Bethune, economist at IHS Global Insight, said the Fed is right to hold off until it becomes clear that the weakening trend in the U.S. economy is persisting. If the economy shrinks in the third quarter, he said, the central bank's hand would be forced.
"I think they'd have to make a move," he said.
The Fed's strategy carries no guarantees. Short-term interest rates near zero have yet to rejuvenate the economy. The benefits of federal stimulus programs are fading, and Congress has declined to pass any major new economic aid. That is putting immense pressure on Bernanke to provide relief, and he has no easy options for fixing the economy.
At a Fed meeting earlier this month, Bernanke persuade his colleagues to use a relatively small amount of money generated by its portfolio of mortgage securities to buy government debt. The goal is to further ease rates on mortgages and other loans.
The economy, which has been losing momentum all year, slowed to a near crawl in the second quarter.
At such a weak pace, the nation's 9.5 percent unemployment rate could climb and pass 10 percent later this year or early next year, some analysts say. With economic conditions worsening, there's the danger that consumers and businesses will turn even more cautious in their spending, causing the economy to stall, or worse, slip into reverse.
Bernanke said the prospect of high unemployment for a long period of time is a "central concern" for the Fed. He also made clear that he is determined to prevent the United States from slipping into a deflationary spiral.
Deflation is a widespread and prolonged drop in wages, the prices of goods and services and in the value of stocks, houses and other assets. The country's last serious episode of deflation was in the 1930s. Keeping interest rates super low and taking unconventional to lower rates on mortgages and other debt is a way to nip any deflationary forces.
Japan's deflation problems and stagnant growth caused the country to suffer what many refer to as a "lost decade" in the 1990s. It is still fighting deflation now even as it has kept its key interest rates near zero like the Fed.
Although most economists believe the odds are relatively low that the United States will slide into deflation, it can't be ruled out given the economy's weak growth, they say.
Despite the economy's recent slowing, Bernanke, however, continues to believe there will be "some pickup" in growth in 2011, but not enough to substantially drive down unemployment and reduce the vast ranks of the unemployed.
"We have come a long way, but there is still some way to travel," Bernanke said.

From student to professor to director to president, Palmer Chamberlain Ricketts devoted his entire adult life to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. For 63 years he embraced the ideals of its educational enterprise and slowly crafted its transformation. Ricketts became a respected professor by rising up through the ranks in an apprenticeship-like method common to RPI in the nineteenth century. As a trained civil engineer, he was devoted to both the theory and practice of his profession. P. C. Ricketts led Rensselaer as director and then president for an unprecedented 42 years. As the first modern president, he oversaw an aggressive fund raising campaign, expansion of the campus, development of new curricula, and recruitment of a diverse faculty. He became a "one-man enterprise," a virtual "Mr. Rensselaer."
This exhibit provides just a glimpse of his career through documents from the Palmer C. Ricketts Papers and related collections. You can learn more about the Ricketts era in:

Oh man am I ever excited for 2012. Sadly when it comes to this blog 2011 was not a stellar performance in content and especially in regularity. Several things contributed to this but rather than crying like a child and making excuses I am going to rededicate myself to getting back to a better blog with better regularity. I know we are in the time of New Years resolutions and I could make a long list and then feel crappy about my failures by mid February or sooner. I am instead going to make myself a list of 100 "options" for the New Year and then feel tremendously successful if I achieve a 10% success rate. I have some newly found energy and focus and it is other people in agriculture that I have to thank.
There are so many great "agvocates" out there that do so much in telling our story. What is truly amazing to me is how they do it on such a regular basis and do such an incredible job of it. Many of them find the time to actually post DAILY! I figure I have a minimum of 3 posts a month just taking time to direct my readers to other bloggers and "agvocates". There is a downside to these great people in the fact that the more of them I find the more I prefer reading them than I prefer sharing my own life. I will share some of these incredible people and their contributions as we make our way through 2012. Most of these people I have met through Twitter and if you have an account I would be glad to know and "follow". My account there is http://twitter.com/#!/TheDailyCowman
To help with this new focus and adventure I went out tonight and bought myself a new laptop. This desktop is getting old and slow and between my maintenance schedule of dumping coffee on the keyboard, blowing off the tower once a year and regular kicks from my boots it has developed a few issues. The new laptop uploaded pictures in about 30 seconds tonight that I have been trying to upload on the desktop for months. I just feel that a blog post is so much more interesting if I can post a picture from my daily life when I post.
These days I am working to get as many cows to cornstalks so they can feed themselves and not be fed expensive hay. Lots of hotwire fence building, panel moving and cow hauling rule the day as we fast approach spring calving. Dakota has been home this week for Christmas vacation and having her help makes the day so much more fun and productive. As this young lady approaches her 15th birthday she has become an integral part of getting things done around here, I am very proud and thankful for your help Gus. Between her help and her mother going dutifully off to work everyday to earn money to feed us it makes my addiction to chasing cows much easier to indulge in.
One thing you will notice on this blog as we charge into 2012 is that some posts will be much more abbreviated. Some nights it might just be a few sentences or a picture or two but to see that I only did 6 more posts in ALL of 2011 than I did in January of 2010 makes me want to try much harder. I thank all of you that have supported my efforts and as always I am a big boy and any input you have will be gladly taken as to how I could improve.
I tend to relate just about everything in life to mother cows, sometimes that is not always a good thing but you would be surprised how much cows imitate life. One of the things a good mother beef cow does is raise a good sized calf, while rebreeding and preparing herself for the following year. I am going to do all I can to emulate cow #5231B. This little cow has at times been a bit of a challenge because of her attitude but because of her amazing ability continues to stay here on the ranch. Today's picture is her with her massive steer calf #0231W born in February 2011, clear back in September 2011. This big boy is now being fed out and will provide nutritious, healthy and wholesome protein for a hungry world. His momma will be bringing another stellar child into this world soon I have no doubt.
I also need to shout out a Happy Birthday to a very special lady that turned 21 today. Chelsey, our summer intern is enjoying a few drinks tonight and they are very well deserved. Happy Birthday kiddo!
Today's real environmentalist species found on the ranch is the Eastern cottontail rabbit aka Sylvilagus floridanus.

Mental health push meets politics
Here's one thing President Barack Obama and Republicans actually agree on: Mental health has to be a big part of the gun violence debate in Obama's second term — because people with serious mental illness shouldn't have guns.
Obama thinks he has the perfect solution: the mental health provisions in Obamacare.
Story Continued Below
But Republicans don't want to give him any credit — and that's a lousy starting point for even a small bipartisan breakthrough on guns and mental health, the one place many advocates had hoped they could find common ground.
( PHOTOS: Politicians speak out on gun control)
The Obama administration is playing up how the law will make access to treatment easier by extending health coverage to millions of Americans — the start to curbing shooters with a history of mental health problems like Jared Lee Loughner in Tuscon, Ariz., Seung-Hui Cho at Virginia Tech, or James Eagan Holmes in Aurora, Colo.
But that strategy presents a problem for Obama: By tying hopes for mental health and gun control in his second term to the most divisive achievement of his first term, he's left himself little hope of capitalizing on a rare moment of agreement on mental health to move a bill through Republican-controlled House.
Even the Republicans in Congress most likely to support a mental health push aren't rushing to Obama's side to defend the health care law.
Rep. Tim Murphy (R-Pa.), a psychologist who's the new chairman of the House Energy and Commerce oversight subcommittee, says he had "hoped for more" from Obama on mental health issues, and he's going to hold hearings on how to improve the nation's mental health system because "the underlying cause in mass tragedies like Newtown is that the perpetrator had an untreated or undertreated mental illness."
( PHOTOS: Supreme Court upholds health care law)
Murphy spokeswoman Amy Larkin says the congressman doesn't have other specific solutions in mind — yet. She says he's just going to talk to as many mental health experts as possible to find out what works and what doesn't, and that "he really wants to take his time" before rushing into legislation.
Health care advocates also admit that any package would just be the start of a long process.
"I'm very, very positive about the fact that we're having a national discussion about mental health, but it should be viewed as the beginning of the process, not the end of the process," said Liza Gold, a clinical professor of psychiatry at the Georgetown University School of Medicine.
There are central unknowns: It's unclear how affordable the health care reform law will make mental health coverage or what it'll include.

Back in November, former WNBA star Chamique Holdsclaw was involved in an incident with ex-girlfriend and former teammate Jennifer Lacy. Holdsclaw allegedly smashed the window of Lacy's car with a baseball bat, then proceeded to stick a gun in the window and fire a shot through the car while Lacy was still in it.
Today, Holdsclaw was indicted on two counts of aggravated assault, three counts of criminal damage, and one count of possession of a firearm in commission of a felony. Here is a picture of a 9mm shell casing that was recovered from Lacy's car following the incident in November:
Holdsclaw battled depression throughout her career, and once attempted suicide in 2006.

This drawing shows Aleister Crowley's grand-son "Moonchild", George W. Bush, Pharaoh of the United States of America. He presides over the 9/11 mega-ritual, which saw the World Trade Center used as magickal talisman, invoking the three Great Pyramids of Giza. Our synchro-mystic investigation into these and other related matters continues in this, the first part of three related posts.
Aleister Crowley, the ever increasingly popular magickian will be the starting point of this post's investigation into the world of synchro-mysticism, a place where everything is connected to everything else and no coincidence is trivial or mundane. That very same place you occupy right where you are sitting now, but might not even realize fully, just yet. Your very special and unique space/time coordinates are always significant and filled with intimate inter-connections. You need only open your self to this ever-present self-similar and fractal nature embedded in every point of the universe to realize how seamlessly everything flows into and through you (even because of 'you'). 'Your' mind and body is a bridge, allowing movement of energy as information between 'you' and the 'external' world. Indeed, once the meaning of synchronicity is fully integrated, the internal and external dichotomies collapse and the real fun begins.
"The Great Beast 666" has infiltrated the collective psyche in a very interesting veiled manner. He is being watched unknowingly (in the form of a character believed to be inspired by Crowley) all over the world right now by millions in a popular Hollywood movie! The new 007 film, "Casino Royale," is based on the Ian Fleming novel of the same name. The net is rife with speculation that James Bond is modelled after famed occultist John Dee. The 007 number is said to have its origin in the manner Dee would sign his secret communiqués.
While reading Wikipedia's Crowley pop-culture references, this interesting fact jumped out and hit my brain (with joy): "Ian Fleming based the character Le Chiffre in the first James Bond novel Casino Royale on Crowley."
Tantalizingly, CNN also mansions this possible Crowley connection in context of the new 007 film, making it at the very least, valid as a culturally relevant meme imbedded firmly in the global mind. Whether Mr. Fleming intended thus or not. http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Movies/02/16/film.bond.reut/index.html
Now we have Le Chiffre, (The Number) the main villain from the new James Bond (John Dee) film as a direct echo of Aleister Crowley (The Great Beast 666). "The Freeman Perspective" blew my mind a while ago when making the claim that George W. Bush is possibly descended from none other than Aleister Crowley!http://thefreemanperspective.blogspot.com/2006/09/and-vs-have-it.html
Original article with George W. Bush as Aleister Crowley descendent speculation:
It seems amazing enough that this small possibility even exists, let alone the almost unimaginable wonderful kookiness that is opened to our speculation should it turn out to be true. As this blog is less concerned with truth and much more interested with emergent occult possibilities, we can speculate and rotate this George-W-Bush-as-'Moonchild'-of-"The-Great-Beast-666" idea at length should we choose to do so. And indeed I do, being of the opinion that possibilities are wonderful on their own. Again, 'the truth' of the matter is secondary to the fact that it is even being debated in the collective mind at all. Contemplation of Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken, flying towards the World Trade Centre in "Escape From New York," was part of a causal chain that led me to find resonance between the destroyed WTC buildings 1,2 and 7 and the Great Pyramids of Giza.
Aleister Crowley's head pokes up second from the left in the top row, next to Sri Yukteswar Giri on the iconic Beatles, "Sgt Pepper's" album cover. This cover (and Sri Yukteswar Giri) will be seen frequently as we continue on our journey of enlightenment about Crowley and Bush.
A very interesting article by Ben Fairhall involving the Beatles and their famous cover: http://ben-fairhall.blogspot.com/2006/11/above-us-only-sky.html
German director Wolfgang Peterson's films become relevant in this Crowley/Bush investigation in the following manner: Harrison Ford flick, "Air Force One," sees the actor (who has quested for the Grail as Indiana Jones) play the president of the USA, (who now resonates synchro-mystically with A.C.) who has to fight terrorists hijacking the presidential plane. The interesting 9/11 resonance of this hijack/plane/terrorist theme including the US president, starts this synchro-mystic mishmash off very nicely. When we include the 'US President as Aleister Crowley's grandson' speculation, things get interesting indeed.
I will use many Peterson films as divining rod for relevant sync-echoes in this series of posts.
The 9/11 Prophecy website speculates about the USA dollar bill and its occult talismanic properties.
The bill, with its pyramid and Egyptian winged orb (American eagle), is said to be a magickal talisman designed to bring about the new Aeon and directly involved with the 9/11 mega-ritual. Essentially, the populace who carried the bill, charged the magickal device with energy that helped bring about the 9/11 event. These folks go as far as to say Aleister Crowley prophesized (possibly inspired?) the use of the Talisman on the dollar bill in the Alien or Holy Guardian Angel (Aiwass) inspired, "Book of the Law." http://911origamiprophecy.com/index.htm
Assuming this is even remotely true, we can speculate with much whimsy that Aleister Crowley was inspired by an alien to influence occultists to design the 'US talisman' for the dollar bill that brought about the 9/11 mega-ritual. A ritual, discussed in an earlier post, claimed to have been intended by secret societies to contact aliens through the opening of a stargate. http://thebravenewworldorder.blogspot.com/2006/12/contacting-god-our-alien-creator-occult.html
Remember that I always advise that 'contacting aliens through opening a stargate' can also be described as metaphors for higher (cosmic) consciousness or Illumination, the activation of the fully realized chakra pillar, etc.
Let's go fish some more with the synchro-web in the interconnected ocean of the Tao.
Another Wolfgang Peterson movie can now be highlighted here. The "Never Ending Story," based on the German children's book of the same name, contains elements that resonate with the occult and Aleister Crowley. The movie contains two scenes involving giant blue and gold Sphinxes. The most obvious Sphinx that is invoked in the mind when we hear the word would be that most mysterious of sentinels, squatting at the pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx of Egypt. The Pyramids themselves were firmly connected to the WTC complex and 9/11 in my more recent posts. Indeed the three Great pyramids have been shown to be invoked by the three felled buildings (WTC 1,2 and 7) through their relative sizes in profile. http://thebravenewworldorder.blogspot.com/2006/11/wtc-pyramid-part-2.html
In the next post we will see how Crowley and the Sphinx interact with 9/11.
The climax of the film involves a boy having to name the child empress to save the day. The name he picks brings us right back to Aleister.
"The name Bastian screams out almost indecipherably is "Moonchild," as evidenced in Ende's novel."
"Moonchild," the name that saves the day in the fantasy film and book is "Moonchild"!?
"Moonchild" is also the name of a book by Aleister Crowley. The book concerns the act of sex magick and how it can be used to incarnate powerful forces into a child through guided willful application and invocation of certain occult principals during sex, creating a "Moonchild". It would be difficult not to make the tantalizing jump and accuse old George W. Bush as a possible "Moonchild". Would it be premature and rash to say this? Yes it would, but considering the developing tool of synchro-mysticism and its aim of pointing towards emergent possibilities, not concrete fact, let's tentatively accept George as occult "Moonchild" of the Beast for argument's sake and see where it takes us. Wheee!
The 2003 MTV music awards featured a clip (above) where hosts Justin Timberlake and Sean William Scott were intercut with footage from the film, "The Matrix: Reloaded."
Included in this mess is a scene where Will Ferrel plays the Architect. Keanu Reeves and the Architect came up in the previous post where it was mentioned that the Masonic 'god force' or 'nature's god' (or Providence, if you will) is often called the Architect. The Architect of the Matrix as the designer (God?) of the Matrix. The Freemasonic resonance here seems rather intentional.
Will Ferrel on "Saturday Night Live" as George W. Bush.
Pure synchronistic joy may follow when we learn another role Will Ferrel picks, when not playing the Masonic god, is none other than "Moonchild" Bush. Could we say of the composite entity this investigation creates: "George W. Bush, the Masonic Moonchild God incarnate and President of the United States?" Synchro-mysticly, yes we can, but not without laughing out loud and promptly gaining some composure to remember that this tool, I believe, can only show us possible reality tendencies. The miniscule possibility revealed seems enough to amaze me with its very existence. Please don't take me too seriously. Yet, then again....
A 9/11 connection to the US President through television comes to mind in the form of Martin Sheen. Martin Sheen was TV's American President in "The West Wing" and is actor and prolific 9/11-conspiracy-theory-supporter Charlie Sheen's father. We have a figure here, in Martin Sheen, resonating with Aleister Crowley, George W. Bush and 9/11 conspiracy theory. Pretty interesting, but keep your wits about you folks as things get intermeshed pretty thoroughly as we 'push the envelope'.
H.G Wells, third from the right hand side in the second row again on the cover of "Sgt Peppers". Sharing a position with Aleister Crowley.
The current James Bond movie has made it to the screen before -in a manner- in the 1967 British spy spoof also called "Casino Royale". Le Chiffre, who we learnt in the beginning of this post Ian Flemming is said to have based on Crowley, is played, in this early comedy, version by Orson Welles. Thus Welles resonates with Aleister Crowley and hence our 'Moonchild' -in the mechanics of syncro-mysticism- George W. Bush. Lets not forget the strong Mars theme which is creeping in here with the "War of the Worlds" connection to Welles and the mention a little earlier of the Great Sphinx thanks to Wolfgang Petersons "Never Ending Story". How does Mars connect to the Great Sphinx? "The Mars Mystery" by Graham Hancock, Robert Bauval and John Grigsby on P57 explains.
"We therefore naturally find it curious...that the ancient Egyptians envisaged a profound connection between Mars and the Earth and, more specifically, between Mars and the Great Sphinx of Giza. The planet and the monument were both seen as manifestations of Horus, the divine son of star-gods Isis and Osiris. The planet and the monument were also both called 'Horakhti', meaning 'Horus in the Horizon'. Mars in addition was sometimes known as 'Horus the Red' and the Great Sphinx, for much of its history , was painted red."
Looping this all back to Martin Sheen Wikipedia reveals further in its Orson Welles pages "Orson Welles was Francis Ford Coppola's first choice to play Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now (1979), based on the novel Heart of Darkness which Welles was planning to adapt before he wrote Citizen Kane."
Kurtz was played eventually by Marlon Brando.
Marlon Brando, fourth from the right four rows down.
"Apocalypse Now" stars Martin Sheen and pings (like the sonar on a submarine in Wolfgang Petersons "Das Boot") other elements already mentioned here. Elements such as Harrison Ford (our grail questing terrorist/plane/president resonating Moonchild) who has a small role in the film and the "Matrix" through actor Laurence Fishburne.
Thus we have Martin Sheen and Orson Welles well connected and resonating with favourite subjects such as 9/11, Mars, Aleister Crowley, Egypt, George W. Bush and earily now even the Apocalypse!
We can make the occult synchro-mystic resonance between Welles, Egypt and secret societies more overt by focusing on his classic film "Touch of Evil" with Charlton Heston. Mr. Heston is a synchro-mystic favourite of mine as he has famously played Moses (who resonates Pharaoh Akhenaton) in The Ten Commandments and a time traveling astronaut in "Planet of the Apes". These stargate themes and the identitity of Moses were explored in this post:
Heston's composate charachter "a stargate traveling Egyptian pharaohnic astronaut" seen in "Touch of Evil" allong side Orson Welles fits snug with the occult resonance already atributed to "Citezen Cane". We now have two compostite charachters Welles (resonating Aleister Crowley, George W. Bush, Mars etc) and Heston (resonating Akhenaton, Moses, Stargates etc) interacting in close proximity, ominously within a "Touch of Evil"...
Jumping back too Will Ferrel (Goerge W. Bush, The Architect) I remembered recently that a "Zoolander" billboard was seen in the "World Trade Centre" movie. Zoolander sees Will Ferrel as the main villian.
(Click on image to enlarge)
The shadow of the plane passes over the Zoolander image. A film wich contains Will Ferrel and David Bowie. Bowie came up on the blog a few posts ago in "The Prestige" with his stargate resonating teleporation pyramid shaped machine that transported wormhole veterine Hugh Jackman. See this post for more:
Further close scrutiny of the trailer with my third eye revealed this amazing synch or Illuminati in-joke.
The creepy corporate logo of Paramount (a triangular pyramid shaped mountain, no less!) disolves to reveal the Twin Towers, themselves modelled after the pyramids of Giza, see links below. Is this mind blowing disolving match cut in the "World Trade Centre" movie trailer a telling sectret society coded message to the initiated, or the cosmic giggle working over time? Both answers seem very satisfying to me.
I should reiterate comments made previously that I share similar views with Ralph Ellis about the pyramids being the actual biblical mountain that Moses/Akhenaton climbed to ritualisticly contact god (open his third eye into cosmic conciousness). An historical incident I consider a possible stargate event (allong the lines of the great work of William Henry) and possible extreterestrial encounter intimately connected to the purpose of the 9/11 mega-ritual.
All three Great Pyramids perhaps, with the two towers (pyramids) in the background?
To learn more about the World Trade Center complex and my views as to how they relate to the pyramids of Giza and ritualistic intent of 9/11 see these posts:
WTC Pyramid Part 1 and 2
http://thebravenewworldorder.blogspot.com/2006/11/pharaoh-jesus-and-911-stargate.html http://thebravenewworldorder.blogspot.com/2006/11/wtc-pyramid-part-2.html
The "World Trade Centre" movie poster has been discussed many times in my blog. To see some ideas such as how it relates to "The Last Supper" try:
http://thebravenewworldorder.blogspot.com/2006/09/inner-and-outer-light-of-aten.htmlA close up from Alex Grey's "Gaia" painted in 1989. I was particularly interested when noticing the two planes above the World Trade Centre while staring at my 2007 wall calender.
Is there a connection between 9/11 and Aleister Crowley through the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Sphinx (Horus)? Is George W. Bush part of a giant dynastic secret plan involving the 9/11 mega-ritual (invocation of the Pyramids of Giza) and the New World Order? What about these creepy Mars and Apocalypse themes creeping into the 9/11 Mega-Ritual, how do they fit?
All these issues to be explored (including how Matt Damon synchro-mysticly 'proves' ancient humanoid life on Mars in "Good Will Hunting"!) further in part 2 of 2007's first synchro-mystic investigation! Soon...

text: Well, I suppose I should say hello again. I started geocaching when I lived in Russellville and joined this site then. However I didn't get to know anyone here very well before I went and checked out of civilization and into the United States Marine Corps. I spent three months forgetting how to use technology and now I have a week or so here in Glenwood to learn to use my GPS before I head back out to do more training. Geocaching was one of the best ways to learn my GPS so I want to find the caches I didn't find around here before I have to leave again. Hopefully tho I will be able to maintain contacts on here as I travel the world as a Marine and it will give me many opportunities to find caches that I may never have had a chance to search for before.

LOS ANGELES -- Last year, the Memphis Grizzlies exited the playoffs painfully, on their home court, losing Game 7 in a first-round series to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Payback was rich for the Grizzlies -- a 103-93 Game 5 road triumph over the Clippers Tuesday night in L.A.'s Staples Center, giving the Grizzlies a 3-2 series lead and the chance to advance to the second round with a victory in Memphis Friday night.
It was the first time in the physical, evenly matched series that the home team lost.
It was the fifth time the team with the rebounding edge won the game, though this time it was close -- 42-40.
BOX SCORE: Grizzlies 103, Clippers 93
For the Grizzlies, the win came with predictably strong efforts from their big guys, forward Zach Randolph (25 points, 11 rebounds) center Marc Gasol (21 points, eight rebounds), plus a big night for point guard Mike Conley (20 points, six assists) and clutch fourth-quarter shooting from Tayshaun Prince (15 points).
"We haven't done anything yet," Randolph said. "We still need to stay focused and finish our business. We're getting better each game."
Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro disagreed. The way he saw it, Randolph did a lot.
"He's very good with his body, his angles, his hands and things," Del Negro said. "He's always been a difficult cover."
For the Clippers, the loss came despite a valiant effort from point guard Chris Paul, who led all scorers with 35 points.
"Chris Paul came out with the mindset, 'I'm going to win the game for us,'" said Memphis coach Lionel Hollins. "We were fortunate to get out with a win."
Paul's problem -- and the Clippers' -- was that he was kind of the only one on his team to show up.
NUGGETS-WARRIORS: Denver bounces back
In fact, through three quarters, when he had put up 31 points, he was the only Clipper in double figures and the only starter with more than five points. At the end, only Paul and sixth man Jamal Crawford (15) had reached double figures.
Clippers forward Blake Griffin played with an ankle sprain suffered in practice Monday and was clearly limited, starting but totaling just four points and five rebounds in 19 minutes.
"It's just an unfortunate thing that happened yesterday," Del Negro said. "A freak accident. He came down on Lamar Odom's foot. I give him a lot of credit for trying to play through it. There was a lot of swelling in there. He battled through it. But in the third quarter, he was struggling to move around. It's just an unfortunate thing. it's tough to deal with it, but you have to."
With an opportunity to step up into larger roles because of Griffin's injury, several key Clippers were not up to the challenge.
Center DeAndre Jordan posted another single-single (six points, eight rebounds after registering only two points and two rebounds in Game 4.
Veteran Chauncey Billups was unable to summon up his Mr. Big Shot past, and Del Negro played him only 12 minutes.
Forward Caron Butler made just two baskets, for five points.
"We need more production from a lot off guys," Del Negro said. "Chris Paul did a phenomenal job for us. He was a warrior out there. But we need other guys to step up. We won as a team all season. We need more than one or two guys."
Griffin's status for Game 6 is unknown.
"It's a tough blow, but what are you going to do?" Paul said. "We've just got to be desperate. That's how it is. It's do or die in Memphis."
The two teams battled on nearly even terms in the first half, but the Grizzlies went on an 11-0 run early in the third quarter to take a 65-52 lead.
The Clippers rallied back, though, and stayed close enough in the fourth that the outcome was still in doubt. But for every big play for the Clippers -- mostly by Paul -- the Grizzlies had a response.
Del Negro didn't mince words before the game about how critical the Tuesday night outcome would be.
He said the team that won would "probably" win the series and called it "pivotal."
Not much had separated these two teams, going back to last season, when they went seven games in the first round. This year, they posted identical 56-26 regular season records, then split the first two games of a series that has all the looks of another seven-game survival test.
The Clippers knew if they were to regain the momentum after losing Games 3 and 4 on the road, they would need to improve their rebounding efforts.
Game 4 had been an embarrassment for the Clippers, with Memphis winning the rebounding battle 45-28 and the game 104-83.
"Punked," is what L.A. forward Matt Barnes said the Grizzlies did to the Clippers.
With all that as prelude, it was not surprising that the early moments of Game 5 were physical and chippy. Griffin and Gasol got tangled up fighting for a loose ball, and Griffin drew a technical. Paul got whacked in the face coming off a pick. Memphis' Tony Allen took a low blow and went to the floor.
It would stay physical. It usually does with Memphis, with Gasol and Randolph proving to be an ever more effective 1-2 punch.
"They're both premier post players," Hollins said. "Both of them can post. Both of them can go outside. Both of them can pass the ball."

How well do you know the Code? Think you can spot violations the original installer either ignored or couldn't identify? Here's your chance to moonlight as an electrical inspector and second-guess someone else's work from the safety of your living room or office. Joe Tedesco, who has a knack for finding shoddy electrical work, did the dirty work and found this mess. Now it's your turn to identify the violation.
Find the Answer
Gary Dennington, a project manager with Fox Systems, Inc., ran across this mess during a data gathering excursion at an industrial facility as part of an arc flash survey. "What you can see is a main 600A service, 120/240V delta somewhat parallel service," says Dennington. "All the secondary distribution is fed through a trough. Some travel out of sight. A few disconnects are mounted on the wall. I guess they could not defeat the opening mechanism, so they cut the cover."
I've noted some of the sections of the Code that have been violated. I could go on to add rules from Chapter 3 as well, but the summary page would run way too long.
- 110.14 Electrical Connections. "Because of different characteristics of dissimilar metals, devices such as pressure terminal or pressure splicing connectors and soldering lugs shall be identified for the material of the conductor and shall be properly installed and used. Conductors of dissimilar metals shall not be intermixed in a terminal or splicing connector where physical contact occurs between dissimilar conductors (such as copper and aluminum, copper and copper-clad aluminum, or aluminum and copper-clad aluminum), unless the device is identified for the purpose and conditions of use. Materials such as solder, fluxes, inhibitors, and compounds, where employed, shall be suitable for the use and shall be of a type that will not adversely affect the conductors, installation, or equipment." FPN: Many terminations and equipment are marked with a tightening torque."
- (A) Terminals. Connection of conductors to terminal parts shall ensure a thoroughly good connection without damaging the conductors and shall be made by means of pressure connectors (including set-screw type), solder lugs, or splices to flexible leads. Connection by means of wire-binding screws or studs and nuts that have upturned lugs or the equivalent shall be permitted for 10 AWG or smaller conductors. Terminals for more than one conductor and terminals used to connect aluminum shall be so identified."
- 110.16 Flash Protection. "Switchboards, panelboards, industrial control panels, meter socket enclosures, and motor control centers that are in other than dwelling occupancies and are likely to require examination, adjustment, servicing, or maintenance while energized shall be field marked to warn qualified persons of potential electric arc flash hazards. The marking shall be located so as to be clearly visible to qualified persons before examination, adjustment, servicing, or maintenance of the equipment. FPN No. 1: NFPA 70E-2004, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace, provides assistance in determining severity of potential exposure, planning safe work practices, and selecting personal protective equipment. FPN No. 2: ANSI Z535.4-1998, Product Safety Signs and Labels, provides guidelines for the design of safety signs and labels for application to products."

1/4 cup/55gms sugar
1 tablespoon/8gms all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon/ 2.5ml vanilla extract
1 large egg yolk
3/4 cup/175ml whole milk
Mix together the sugar, flour, lemon zest and vanilla extract in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. To this add the egg yolk and half the milk. Whisk until smooth.
Now place the saucepan over low heat and cook, stirring constantly to prevent the mixture from curdling.
Add the remaining milk a little at a time, still stirring constantly. After about 12 minutes the mixture will be thick, free of lumps and beginning to bubble. (If you have a few lumps, don't worry. You can push the cream through a fine-mesh strainer.)
Transfer the pastry cream to a bowl and cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic film and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight, until thoroughly chilled.

SAN FRANCISCO — The 49ers offense and special teams could get a boost Sunday as wideout Mario Manningham makes his season debut and tailback/returner LaMichael James suits up for just the third game this season.
Aldon Smith also is active after a five-game absence while tending to personal issues. Smith is not slated to start, but that could change, as Dan Skuta is listed as the starter at right outside linebacker.
Manningham, with three weeks of practice under his belt, will be suiting up for the first time since a Dec. 23 knee injury at Seattle. He joins a receiving corps that won't be dressing Quinton Patton (broken foot, fifth-straight game as an inactive) and Kassim Osgood, who has no receptions but has been instrumental as a special-teams gunner since Week 2.
James likely will replace Kyle Williams as the primary return man, at least on punts and possibly on kickoffs. James has been a healthy scratch the past three games and has never returned a punt outside of exhibition-season play.
Eric Wright won't be making his 49ers debut as they're suiting up five other cornerbacks instead: Carlos Rogers, Tarell Brown, Tramaine Brock, Perrish Cox and Darryl Morris.
Rookie defensive linemen Quinton Dial and Tank Carradine are inactive, as is second-year guard Joe Looney.
The Panthers inactives wide receivers Tavarres King and Marvin McNutt, cornerbacks Josh Norman and James Dockery, guard Chris Scott, tight end Brandon Williams and defensive end Wes Horton. Nate Chandler will start in place of Scott at right guard.
The Panthers' Sione Fua, a Stanford product, has switched from defensive line to guard and will wear No. 72.

Islamic State posts video of beheading of U.S. journalist, warns Obama to halt strikes
In a savage response to U.S. strikes on its fighters in northern Iraq, the Islamic State posted a video Wednesday showing the beheading of an American photojournalist, and it threatened to execute a second U.S. captive if President Barack Obama didn't halt the attacks.
The slaying of James Foley, 40, and the video's worldwide dissemination on social media, added a horrific new twist to a crisis in which Obama has tried to limit U.S. intervention almost three years after he withdrew the last U.S. combat troops from Iraq following the nearly nine-year American military occupation.
Foley, a freelance photojournalist from Rochester, N.H., was taken prisoner in northwest Syria in November 2012 while on assignment for the Global Post, an online news site.
McClatchy special correspondent Mitchell Prothero, who was friends with Foley, confirmed that it was him in the video.
The video was titled "Obama authorizes military operations against the Islamic State effectively placing America upon a slippery slope toward a new war front against Muslims."
It began with a clip of the Aug. 7 nationwide television address in which Obama announced that he'd authorized limited U.S. airstrikes against the Islamic State, an al Qaida spinoff that since mid-June has overrun about 50 percent of Iraq and declared a modern-day caliphate on that territory and a huge swath of neighboring Syria that it controls.
Since his announcement, U.S. fighters, bombers and unmanned drones have staged more than 60 attacks to save members of the tiny Yazidi religious faith from Islamic State assaults, protect the capital of the autonomous Kurdish region and help Iraqi forces regain control of the country's largest dam.
The video then featured Foley delivering a statement in which he criticized U.S. policy on Iraq and asserted that he was being killed because of Obama's decision to authorize the airstrikes. He spoke clearly, his face grimly solemn, his head shaved. He occasionally paused to swallow and only briefly did his voice waver slightly.
"I call on my family and friends and loved ones to rise up against the real killers, the U.S. government," said Foley, who was dressed in a loose-fitting costume of orange, the same color as the uniforms worn by detainees subjected to abuse when the U.S. military ran the Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad. "For what will happen to me is only a result of their complacency and criminality."
Flanked by a masked fighter clad in a black uniform as he kneeled in a bleak unidentified sunlit desert setting, Foley continued: "My message to my beloved parents: Save me some dignity and don't accept any meager compensation for my death from the same people who effectively hammered the last nail in my coffin with their recent aerial campaign in Iraq."
He then called on his brother, John, who he said serves in the U.S. Air Force, to "think about what you are doing."
"Think about who made the decision to bomb Iraq recently and kill those people whoever they may have been," he continued. "I died that day, John, when your colleagues dropped the bomb on those people. They signed my death certificate."
The black-clad fighter, a knife gripped in one hand, then warned in slightly accented, fluent English that more Americans would be killed if there were more U.S. attacks on its fighters in the areas of northern Iraq and eastern Syria that it has overrun.
"Any attempt by you, Obama, to deny the Muslims their rights to live in safety under the Islamic caliphate will result in the bloodshed of your people," he said, pointing the knife at the camera.
The fighter then moved behind Foley's back, pulled back his head and began sawing his neck with the knife.
There was no immediate statement from Foley's family.
Caitlin Hayden, a spokeswoman for the National Security Council, said the U.S. intelligence community was working "as quickly as possible" to determine the authenticity of the video.
"If genuine, we are appalled by the brutal murder of an innocent American journalist and we express our deepest condolences to his family and friends," she said in statement.
A separate social media post featured photographs of Foley while he was kneeling and then his decapitated corpse, his blood-covered head sitting on its back.
The end of the video and a separate photograph posted on Twitter featured a man identified as Steven Joel Sotloff, who was dressed in the same orange clothing as Foley and was kneeling in what appeared to be the same desert-like setting. He was flanked by a masked, black-clad fighter holding him by his collar.
"The life of this American citizen, Obama, depends on your next decision," said the fighter.
Sotloff, a native of Miami who wrote for Time magazine, the Christian Science Monitor and the National Interest, has been missing since August 2013. His last Twitter message, regarding the Miami Heat, was posted on Aug. 13. A voice message left at a telephone number listed for his family's home in South Miami-Dade was not immediately returned.
It is highly unlikely that Obama will heed the Islamic State's demand.
"Strategically, it doesn't matter whether one America is killed. One person is not a measure of strategic importance," said Anthony Cordesman, a former senior U.S. defense official with the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "Frankly, it would be irresponsible for a president to react to a single killing."
Foley and Sotloff were among a number of foreign journalists who've been missing in Syria. They include Austin Tice of Houston, a freelancer who reported for McClatchy and The Washington Post, among others. He's been missing since August 2012.
When asked about Foley's death, Marc Tice, the father of Austin Tice, said: "The last 635 days, we have had to share a horrible nightmare, which has made us close to the Foley family and our heart goes out to them. We pray eternal rest for James' soul and comfort and peace for his family."
The Islamic State has released a number of journalists from European countries with histories of paying ransoms to al Qaida and its offshoots. They included French, Spanish and Danish reporters. In each case, it is widely believed _ and in some cases reported in those countries' media _ that the ransom payments were in the tens of millions of euros.
When the U.S. airstrikes began, Islamic State fighters posted a series of statements on Twitter in which they threatened to shed American blood in revenge. The threats were seen as referring to terrorist attacks, but they apparently were referring to Foley and Sotloff.
Foley wrote his final story for the Global Post on Oct. 16, 2012, reporting on fighting between rebels and government forces in the northeastern Syrian city of Aleppo.
Anita Kumar, Nancy A. Youssef, McClatchy special correspondent Mitchell Prothero and Dan Chang of The Miami Herald contributed to this report.
