Crop Circle’s Explained

As you know by now, I’ve always been interested in the supernatural, paranormal and hard to explain things about our planet. Well, this time around I’m attempting to tackle the issue of ‘Crop Circles’. What are they, how are they made, who’s making them and why are they making them? Before you read any further be warned this is a pretty ‘out there’ post with some fantastic sounding theories so be ready with an open mind. Think of this post as an opportunity for open discussion, meaning I’d really like to get your thoughts on Crop Circles. If you’re ready…read on.

Where
While there are crop circles popping up all over the world even here in Canada, the phenomenon seems the strongest in Southern England. The explanation for this seems to be the underlying lime stone in the area, that it somehow provides a better ‘canvas’ for creating crop circles.

History
No one knows how far back in history they go. Allegedly, the earliest recorded crop circle is depicted in the 1647 woodcut called the Mowing-Devil. Crop Circles came into prominance in the 1970’s, but the first major “breakthrough” formation that departed from the original patterns was the one at Barbury Castle in 1991 (pictured to the right). Some researchers believe that the Barbury formation was the “Rosetta Stone” to the understanding of the geometric nature of the dimensions in the universe.

How Are They Created
It has been proven that a large number of crop circles have been made by human hands some more obvious than others but it’s the ones that follow 3 certain criteria (see below) that are the most intriguing. Indeed, the increasing complexity of the crop circles created throughout the world makes it easy to determine the true from the false at a quick glance. 

Some say they are created by freak meteorological phenomena others say that they represent messages from extra terrestrials. According to material published by the BLT institute, anomalies found at some circle sites in England and the US are consistent with them having been created when localized columns of ionized air (dubbed plasma vortices/vortexes) form over standing crops. Other hypotheses attribute them to atmospheric phenomena such as freak tornadoes or ball lightning.

Nancy Talbot, a recognized crop circle expert, has stated the 3 criteria for recognizing a natural (not man made) crop circle, they are:

1. Elongated apical plant stem nodes
2. Expulsion cavities in the plant stems
3. The presence of 10-50 micrometer diameter magnetized iron spheres in the soils, distributed linearly

David Tyler’s ‘Weak’ Theory
I was going through some of my other posts and came to a post  called Scary…Weird, a blog about a UFO spotted in Big Basin, California last summer that has been getting a lot of attention on my Blah, Blah, Blog. One of the commentors sent me this link to a guy who uses the alias ‘Isaac’, and says he used to work in what was called the CARET program evaluating Extra-terrestrial technology, in the 80’s. He explained the sudden UFO sightings at Big Basin and describes the work he had been working on. 

When describing the lettering on the (above) UFO parts he explained it this way:

[The UFO part's] had something akin to a language, that could quite literally execute itself, [like our software does] at least in the presence of a very specific type of field. The language, a term I am still using very loosely, is a system of symbols…along with geometric forms and patterns that fit together to form diagrams that are themselves functional. Once they are drawn, so to speak, on a suitable surface made of a suitable material and in the presence of a certain type of field, they immediately begin performing the desired tasks.

I may be going out on a limb here but I think those “geometric forms and patterns” are similar if not the same as crop circle formations.

If crop circles act the same was as this “language” Isaac talks about, is it possible that whomever or whatever is creating them is trying to execute some kind of ‘program’ on the Earth?? Make a comparison of the diagrams and pictures of crop circles and tell me what you think.

Final Thoughts
From what I’ve been researching over the last 6 months on this subject I have a well founded belief that crop circles are being created not by extra-terrestrials but by extra-dimensionals! Science is on the verge of revealing the existence of up to an 11 dimensional Universe (see Dr. Michio Kaku) The why of crop circles is still a bigger mystery!

Somebody has arranged crop circles into an alphabet though I tend to believe that the message being communicated is far more complex than an alphabet.

Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair Photo

OK, so there it is. The picture of Miley Cyrus in Vanity Fair magazine that she’s apologizing for. I don’t see it….what’s the big “issue”? Sure, she’s 15 years old and a ‘role model’ to girls younger than that. If you read the whole story you’ll discover that her family was there during the shoot and gave the OK on everything. The photographer was none other than Annie Lebovitz who has devoted some time defending the photograph.

Now, if I had daughters I think I would still be OK if they wanted to watch her TV show and buy her CD’s…this photograph would do nothing to change that. Though the impression that I’m getting is that there are some parents who, based on this photo, have forbade their daughters from having anything to do with the young multimillionaire.

If I remember correctly didn’t Brooke Shields go topless for most of Blue Lagoon when she was 14? And how about the nude scenes she did in Pretty Baby when she was 12?? And speaking of age appropriate…how old was Jodie Foster when she played a prostitute in Taxi Driver…

What do you think? Is this picture worth all of the hullabaloo?? Or is it just a publicity stunt…?

Here are some of the behind the scenes photographs to show you what an innocuous situation it actually was.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch

According to one sailor, there is an ocean filled with our plastic waste that exceeds the size of the continental United States.

Described as being twice the size of the US, the ‘Great Pacific garbage patch’ was discovered by Charles Moore, an oceanographer in 1997. After sailing for day after day and seeing nothing but plastic floating on the surface, estimates of over 100 million tonnes of plastic in the seas are now emerging.

(NaturalNews) There is about 100 million tons of debris floating, drifting, and swirling in the Pacific Ocean approximately 500 miles off the coast of California, stretching past the Hawaiian Islands, and extending almost to Japan.

Translucent, it lies just below the surface of the ocean and is undetected by satellite photography. The only way it can be seen is by ships sailing through it.

Plastics as old as 50 years have been recovered from the ocean. Approximately one-fifth of the plastic soup comes from trash discarded from ships and oil platforms. The remaining four-fifths come from land. It is estimated that plastic makes up 90% of all refuse floating in the ocean and the UN Environment Programme estimated recently that each square mile of ocean water contains 46,000 pieces of floating garbage.

This plastic soup will of course break down in time and end up in the food chain. I can only imagine what effects this will and is having on us right now.
I dread to think of the amount of ocean going wildlife that has been killed by our disposal methods and our ‘advancements’.

Like a lot of other things we take for granted, the overall outcome of using new materials and technologies is not fully tested and theorised before it is let loose onto the markets for public use. Plastic was a revolution for lots of people, yet it is now becoming one of our most hated products.

The same type of thing came from asbestos. Great for buildings and ships and many other uses, yet completely hazardous to all living things.

The greatest problem is having the time to do a full scale investigation into all new products.

Asbestos must be disposed of properly.. where?
In the ground by all accounts. The seas seem to be the right place for plastics it would appear.

Either way, we are seriously damaging any future for this planet, its wildlife and ourselves.

Plastic Bottle Island

Believe it or not, this is awesome. Plastic bottles are non-biodegradable. What can we possibly think of other than reduce the use of plastic bottles, reuse them and recycle them to minimize their accumulation underground. If you want to guess what this guy did, don’t restrict your thoughts to a possible territory. Think the unthinkable because that’s what this guy Richart Sowa called Rishi did. This eco-pioneer, artist, and musician, originally from England, built a floating island using just bottles. Yes, you read it right - an island with just bottles, in a lagoon near Puerto Aventuras, on the Caribbean coast of Mexico south of Cancun.

Check out the video to believe what you read. The island bears a two-story house with a solar oven, a self composting toilet, a dish-washer and mangrove plantations gives a reminiscence of “Cast away”, yet has the essential facilities, if not sophisticated. Rishi has used 250,000 bottles on the whole to build the house, a 66ft (20 m) by 54 ft (16 m) structure. He laid the foundation also with bottles, that he claims took him 6 months and to complete the construction starting from 1998, it took him about two-and-a-half years. He seemingly used wooden planks and bamboo for supporting structures.

Now, THAT’s a BBQ

Ah yes, the rites of spring, when the birds start singing their springtime songs…and Man’s thoughts turn to…BBQing.

Here’s a collection of gotta have manly BBQ’s.

 

Gas Gone Wild

Well, gas in Montreal is up to $1.29 for a litre. For my American readers a litre is the equivalent of a quart…so for a gallon of gas we’re now paying $5.16!

At this point we can only LOL…

How To Get Organized

I‘m willing to admit it, I have got to be one of the most un-organized people around. There is hope though! This is Organize Your Files Week, apparently it’s every third week in April but I couldn’t find the press release for some reason.

Eileen Roth, author of “Organizing for Dummies,” recommends these quick checklists to get organized:

Use W-A-S-T-E to decide whether something’s worth keeping:

• W — Worthwhile. If the item isn’t worth saving, toss it. If it is, move on to the next four questions.
• A — Again. Will you use this item more than once?
• S — Somewhere else. Can you find it somewhere else or borrow it if you need it?
• T — Toss. Will anything happen if you throw it out? If you need it for tax or legal reasons, for example, keep it.
• E — Entire. Do you need the whole thing, the complete catalog, for example, when you only want to order from one page? If not, keep what you need and toss the rest.

Use R-E-M-O-V-E to clear off your desk:

• R — Reduce all the distractions on your desktop, such as knickknacks or this morning’s mail. Put them on top of a file cabinet or bookcase instead.
• E — Everyday use. Only keep things you use often on top of your desk.
• M — Move items to the preferred side, whether you’re a “righty” or “lefty.” Put the phones, pens, pencils and pads within easy reach. Put the telephone on the opposite side so you can write with your preferred hand.
• O — Organize like items together so you can find them easily.
• V — View your time. Keep an organizer and clock on your desk.
• E — Empty the center. Clear off space in the middle of your desk so you can work on the project at hand.

Use R-A-P-I-D Response to sort mail and create stacks for each category:

• R — Read. Magazines, newsletters, etc.
• A — Attend. Notices and invitations for seminars, workshops, meetings.
• P — Pay. Bills.
• I — Important. All unknown incoming mail that needs sorting.
• D — Dump. Mail you know you won’t read or need.

I hope these tips help, let me know if you have any other tips to share…

Spring Cleaning

Well get this, a clean house may not mean a happy house, but it can mean a happy you. 

Researchers say that doing housework could put you in a better mood.  Previous studies have indicated that exercise can help improve your mood and reduce stress. Now, apparently, it turns out that scrubbing or vacuuming involves enough physical activity to brighten your day.  However, unlike participating in sports, where the more you played, the more stress reducing benefits you received, the same was not true for housework. 

About 20 minutes of cleaning will give you all the benefits you’re going to get.  Researchers say the message is to do a little bit of housework and a lot of sports.
