Where Is "Nessie?"

Pictured is Robert Rines at Loch Ness, in his last television appearance before his death, during “MonsterQuest.”

Well known in matters related to the Loch Ness Nonster "Nessie", was his dire feelings about mortality the basis for the news circulating about the possible demise of this well known and loved creature? An editorial at the favorite Cryptomungo site addresses the matetr.

"Time For Some Level-Headed Thinking On “Death at Loch Ness”
An Editorial
By Loren Coleman
http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/editorial-nessies/

...I am not certain of the actual reality of the Loch Ness Monsters, any more than the next open-minded, skeptically-inclined cryptozoologist. But I see no less or more evidence for them during the 21st century than was available during the 20th century. Sightings at Loch Ness of the watery cryptids have routinely had good years and bad years.

Robert Rines, whom I met at Loch Ness, corresponded with before and after, and greatly admired, is no longer with us and is missed. He died November 1, 2009, at the age of 87. His sense of his own end, as projected psychologically from himself onto the Loch Ness Monsters, should not slow down the search for valid proof of whatever has been encountered in that Scottish lake for centuries.

Of all the people linked to Loch Ness, surely it would be Bob Rines who would say, in the final analysis, Onward! Continue the search at Loch Ness."

"Attempts to Contact Aliens Date Back More Than 150 Years

The desire to contact intelligent life on other planets is much older than the UFO craze and the SETI movement. Several 19th century scientists contemplated how we might communicate with possible Martians and Venusians.

These early proposals - which predate by 150 years the first extraterrestrial message that was sent in 1974 - were based on visual signals, as the invention of radio was still decades away.

In fact, as history shows, ideas for interplanetary communication have largely been driven by whatever the current technology allowed - be it lamps, radios or lasers.

"You go with what you know," said Steven Dick, NASA Chief Historian.

Are we alone?

Over two thousand years ago, the ancient Greeks argued over the existence of life on other planets, but the idea really took off after the Copernican revolution.

"Once it was realized that all the planets go around the sun, it was not hard to imagine that the other planets could be like Earth," Dick said.

Galileo, Kepler and others considered the inhabitability of the planets, while being careful not to upset Church authority.

"The idea blossomed in the 17th century into the 'plurality of worlds' debate, but it remained controversial," said Dick, who has written several books on the topic.

One of the most influential proponents for extraterrestrial life was Bernard le Bovier de Fontenelle, who wrote Conversations on the Plurality of Worlds in 1686.

Despite the interest, there was no recorded discussion of how we might locate or contact these potential aliens until more than a century later.

Crop triangles and burning canals

Florence Raulin-Cerceau of the Alexandre Koyré Center in Paris has documented the early attempts at communication with extraterrestrial intelligence (CETI), or what is now often called active SETI.

"As early as the 19th century, inventors imagined "sky telegraph" equipment to communicate with the supposed inhabitants of the solar system's planets," Raulin-Cerceau recently wrote with her colleague in the French magazine Pour la Science.

The first of these inventors was Carl Friedrich Gauss, the German mathematician. In the 1820s, he spoke of reflecting sunlight towards the planets with his land surveying invention, the heliotrope. He is also credited with the idea of cutting a giant triangle in the Siberian forest and planting wheat inside.

"The size and color contrast should have made the object visible from the moon or Mars, and the geometric figure could only be interpreted as an intentional construction," Raulin-Cerceau wrote.

Twenty years later, the astronomer Joseph von Littrow came up with a similar idea to pour kerosene into a 30-kilometer-wide circular canal that would be lit at night to signal our presence. "

An Atlantic Article About George Noory

A chronicle of the development of Coast to Coast AM and the interesting dedicated host George Noory is featured in an article "The Listener".A good read for listeners and there are millions of them...
"For four hours every night, on holidays and weekends, George Noory is the voice in the darkness for millions of Americans. His show, Coast to Coast AM, has perfected a charged and conspiratorial worldview that now pervades American media. It’s quite possibly the oddest show ever to cross our airwaves. And it may change the radio business forever.

"Traveling with Wands:

On Tuesday night, expert in how to use the brain's neurocircuitry for increases in paranormal ability and creativity, Neil Slade discussed his new work on how wands can actually help us traverse multiple dimensions. Differentiating his use of wands from the magic wands of fairy tales and lore, he explained that any number of tools can be appropriated by humans to concentrate their intent and energy on (see related images). The wand takes diffuse energy and narrowly focuses it, he said. Any item that can be held in the hand that extends your arm, such as a cane, stick, pen, or pole, can serve as a wand to facilitate travel both out to alternate realities, or conversely bring them to you, he continued.

Slade shared his account of being paralyzed after a serious back injury, and how his doctor told him he would need major surgery to ever walk again. Instead, he used his wands to access an alternate reality where he was not injured, and was also healed by other travelers who used their wands, he detailed, noting that consciousness has no limitations or boundaries.

The brain's frontal lobe must be activated to successfully use the wands, Slade stated, though everyone can develop their own wand process through self-discovery. He also talked about some of his encounters with beings made of colored lights that communicated through sound and melody."

What The Year Holds From Coast To Coast

I was looking forward to these programs but my radio station the only one locally that had Coast To Coast AM no longer has it.Ftom the Newslatter here is the recap of what is said to be ahead for 2010..
"Ian Punnett hosted Coast to Coast AM's annual prediction show, which featured a variety of prognosticators on what they see looming for the new year, 2010. In order of appearance, here are some highlights:

Psychic medium Christian von Lahr:

* Pop superstar Mariah Carey will leave her husband, Nick Cannon, because he is unable to father children.
* "Something grave will happen" to one of President Obama's daughters that has to do with letters "P," "I," "N," and "K" -- letters found in the word KIDNAP, he noted.
* In August, a volcanic eruption in the Aleutian Trench will trigger other volcanoes to erupt in Ring of Fire region of the Pacific Ocean.
* New York may be split into two states.

Paul Guercio of the Merlin Project:

* Crisis in the Obama presidency between winter and the November mid-term elections. Sudden changes could lead to a reshuffling of the primary administration players (Obama, Biden, Clinton).

* Unexpected career changes for conservative talk show host Sean Hannity.

Numerologist Glynis McCants:

* Drama of some sort will surround President Obama's daughters.
* Obama is entering a personal year cycle of 6, which means "he is coming into his power." This is the year that will define his presidency.
* The economy is going to get worse. Families will become closer.

Psychic Tana Hoy:

* Two major natural disasters in Indonesia: one will be an earthquake and the other will be "caused by high waves or water," like a tidal wave.
* Orchestrated terrorist attack on the United States, taking place in four different cities, that will kill more than a 100 people. One of the cities will be New York.
* An Eastern European country will claim official contact with aliens.
* Losses in stock market will be made back in 2010.

Quake sensitive Cal Orey:

* Aleutian Islands / Anchorage, Alaska overdue -- 70% chance of a 7.0 or stronger quake in either location.
* An earthquake of at least 6.0 will hit Northern California in 2010.
* Quakes will likely happen in Greece and Southern Italy.

Terry & Linda Jamison, the Psychic Twins:

* There will be no tsunami activity this year.
* No Katrina-level event, but Florida will be hit by a couple of hurricanes later in 2010.
* Three assassination plots against President Obama will be thwarted.
* Russia, China and Korea will launch successful cyber attacks on the United States.

Astrologist Mark Lerner:

* America's economy will be impacted by Pluto's opposition to Venus (the money planet).
* The windows of February 6th and 7th, and the month of November, will be the best times to work toward a new world economic system...."

Some Psychic Predictions For 2010

Everyone seems to be on the bandwagon with what is to happen.Here are a couple that so far I did not see elsewhere...

"A Toronto psychic known as Nikki has already made headlines and raised eyebrows with her prediction of the possible assassination - or attempted assassination - of President Obama in 2010. Nikki claims to have successfully predicted the death of Michael Jackson and the September 11 attacks. Other predictions from Nikki for 2010: Sarah Palin will pose nude and giant bats will attack a South American city.

Psychic heavyweight Sylvia Browne also predicts a presidential assassination involving a complicated scenario designed to "damage the American people’s faith in their government" as if such a thing was possible. She hedges her bets by noting that it may not happen this year. Sometime between now and 2020, she says. This prediction should be safely forgotten by the end of the decade.

The “channeler, spiritual teacher and spiritual healer” Oneesha of Las Cruces, NM, sees war between Israel and Iran and an attack “from within” on the United States. St. Paul's Fatima takes a safe bet and predicts "more wars." She's probably right on that one."...

Personally hard to guess which is more scarey, Sarah Palin nude or giant bats,,

New Year-Decade-Feature

Many of you know that I opened a new store to expand the Paranormal offers.
http://paranormalpresents.etsy.com
Most of the items are in the video above.This month will feature Big Foot /Yeti.All new additions for the store will be theme related.The new idea is to have some Etsy Artist/Stores also featured with specific items.The first of 2010 is finalscore.

The print pictured is from the shop and by the Artist.
The shop announcement reveals
"I specialize in the odd and unusual type of art. I focus on optical illusions and art that can be viewed different ways. My work has been featured nationally on Coast To Coast AM, Grand-Illusions.com and TMZ.com, it has appeared on magazine covers and has been purchased by museums including the Daewoo Classic Car Museum California, The Rod Serling Foundation Twilight Zone museum and others. My art is owned by NFL Hall of Fame coaches and has been requested by professional athletes, celebrities and mixed media/pop art lovers in over 20 countries! In 2007 I received a lifetime pass to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown NY as thanks for items donated.
Many times when I am commissioned to make a piece there is an agreement in place stating I may sell a limited amount of prints of the custom art. I do this not just for the money but I feel my items make a unique and valuable addition to many peoples personal collection."

I am a fan.A free "Footprints" soap will be a gift with purchase during January as well.A fun way to start this special year.
