Solar Stones of the Goths - Gotland
Survive the Jive
The famous picture stones of Gotland are like Viking rune stones from Scandinavia, but they have pictures and fewer runes. The themes and images depicted on them developed over the Iron Age and into the Viking Age. Originally they seem to have pertained to some kind of Indo-European solar cult involving horses, but later stones have more familiar figures from Norse mythology.
Early stones could have served as grave monuments which may explain the solar iconography focusing on the eternal solar cycles. There are many images relating to death - including sleipnir, the sacrifice, battles and possibly valknutl. Cremation graves sometimes found at foot of stones.
I also explain that Gutasaga records Gotland as the homeland of the Goths and that the nation was founded by Tjelvar, servant of Thor, whose grave I visit. It is a stone ship setting.

North Korea is dark

South Korea is bright, North Korea is dark. This amazing image is included in the standard US Department of Defense briefings on North Korea. It was mentioned in a news briefing on 23 December 2002 by Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, who stated that "If you look at a picture from the sky of the Korean Peninsula at night, South Korea is filled with lights and energy and vitality and a booming economy; North Korea is dark."

From FindAGrave biography:
In the spring of 1975, Joe Roth, a 19 year old transfer student from Grossmont College in San Diego, enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley. Joe hoped to earn a degree, meet new people, and learn more about himself. In his two short years at Cal, Joe accomplished so much more.
Joe was a quiet, down to earth guy who was dedicated to his school work. He was a Physical Education major who would have blended in perfectly with the general student body if not for one major difference, the golden right arm attached to his body. His arrival on the Cal campus was not by coincidence. Joe was a quarterback recruited from Grossmont to play football. And play football he did!
On 22 Fall Saturday's during the 1975 and 1976 seasons, Joe crafted his quarterbacking skills, became a Heisman Trophy contender, and dazzled NFL scouts. Joe's on-field presence and leadership skills won over his teammates while his gentle demeanor and team-first attitude captured not only the hearts of Cal football fans but of an entire University campus. Joe was the face of the Cal football team and he elegantly represented the ideals of a student-athlete by excelling in both the classroom and on the field.
In January 1977, while preparing for the Hula Bowl, a post-season all-star game in Honolulu, HI, Joe revealed publicly for the first time that he was again suffering from cancer (melanoma). Unbeknownst to most of his friend, fans, teammates, and classmates, Joe had battled cancer once before. While no one really knows for sure when the cancer returned, it is believed Joe played the 1976 season knowing something was different.
Silently and unknowingly during the 1976 season, the gridiron became much more than a football field for Joe. The gridiron became Joe's classroom and on Saturdays Joe taught his teammates, classmates, friends, fan, and family members just what it meant to cherish life. Joe was determined to live his life without pity, excuses, blame, and special attention. His teammates later said that Joe showed everyone how to face adversity with faith, humility, and courage and how to never give up.
On February 19, 1977, just three months from his 22nd birthday, Joe lost his battle to cancer and we lost a friend, a son, a brother, a teammate, a classmate, a hero, a role-model, and an outstanding human being. And yet, while we lost, we also gained a clear example on how to embrace adversity, to live life to the fullest, and to never give up. Twenty five months after stepping onto the Berkeley campus Joe's journey was complete. He arrived as a student and ultimately left a teacher.
************
This story would be just as powerful if Joe Roth had been a third stringer, but for all we know he could have ended up the greatest quarterback of all time.

The old Christian Science reading room building in San Francisco was sold in 2009 to the Internet Archive. The stated goal of this non-profit organization is "universal access to all knowledge" though it's website, which apparently has archived over 400 billion texts and media. The organization chose the church based on its Greek Revival design, which resembles the logo of the Internet Archive. I ran into it just by accident as I was reading up on Christian Science just out've curiosity, and it led me to the archive. Just from a few searches, it's very substantial; and in some ways a better search than google.

I was a Cub Scout when I was a kid. In hindsight I would have liked to have remained in it I think, eventually to a Boy Scout. Children and teens often don't have all that much choice; someone is always telling them what they ought to be doing. Often the push is into sports, as with myself. I had a friend whose father had all six children learn to play the piano, model, and partake in the theater department. I'm just wondering... who was it really for? For me it was the sports thing. I enjoyed competing, but wasn't much for fitting into a pack of random boys. I could have really lived without it, and did other things that interested me, such as scouting.

Walkabout (1970's)
FunFilm Mix
Classic Oz film about a sister and a brother left in the desert to fend for themselves ..
************
I remember seeing the 1971 UK/Australian film 'Walkabout' on TV when I was a child, and it struck me as a powerful movie at that age. I remember having a crush on the 18 or 19 year old Jenny Agutter. I truly felt like it was a true fight for survival, and with the mysterious Aboriginal friend leading the way. The film quality and its cinematography really hold up today. This is the full movie, and that channel has many full movies; mostly forgotten TV films. Sometimes you can find a real gen in the mix.

Dracula's Daughter (1936)
Dracula's Daughter tells the story of Countess Marya Zaleska, the daughter of Count Dracula and herself a vampire. Following Dracula's death, she believes that by destroying his body she will be free of his influence and can live as a human. With the aid of her manservant, Sandor (Irving Pichel), she steals Dracula's body from Scotland Yard and ritualistically burns it, hoping to break her curse of vampirism. However, Sandor soon makes her realize that her thirst for blood has not been quenched and that all that is in her eyes is "Death."
************
I saw this 1936 film a few days ago on American Movie Classics. It was pretty good; considered excellent for that time. There were no scenes of violence as it would not have been acceptable for a woman to be shown committing acts of violence, or even being too overtly evil acting, at that time. Still, the character's alluring yet vulnerable personality could keep the audience on edge.

Sprite - "Red Lightning" above the storm clouds
Sprites are large-scale electrical discharges that occur high above thunderstorm clouds, or cumulonimbus, giving rise to a quite varied range of visual shapes flickering in the night sky. They are triggered by the discharges of positive lightning between an underlying thundercloud and the ground. Sprites appear as luminous reddish-orange flashes. They often occur in clusters above the troposphere at an altitude range of 50–90 km (31–56 mi).

Family Ancestry and VenerationThe Slippery Spirit - July 17, 2017
The following topic could possibly illicit some horrible reactions. Given that everyone wants to be focused on issues of racism and cultural misappropriation these days, there may be an assumption that this entry is about race. To address that, I have to first note that this is my blog and I can write whatever I want, because until further notice, I do still have the freedom to express myself. You, the reader, also have the freedom to navigate away from my words and not read them. Secondly, let me note that this blog entry is not about race at all, it is about families and their cultures. If you can't separate the two in your head, you need to stop reading now and go away.
The honoring of our past relatives is extremely important. Without diving into an extremely long blog entry on why it's important, just follow me down this thought path. Wouldn't you rather your descendants remember and honor you, instead of completely forgetting you? If you aren't going to leave a significant mark on this world through an invention or some major discovery, don't you at least want the mark you leave (your progeny) to recognize your contribution to their existence? And if the previous is true for you, why wouldn't you want to provide the same recognition to those who were responsible for your existence so that they are not forgotten? You exist because of them. To me, that alone makes them worthy of honor.

Elizabeth Gale
Last week I was watching an episode of 'Scientology and the Aftermath' with ex-Scientologist Leah Rimini. The episode, which was entitled 'The Perfect Scientology Family' (see above), was about a family in which there was a Scientology-related suicide some years ago. His name was Phillip Gale, a computer/software prodigy who may have gone onto some big things. They interviewed his sister, Elizabeth Gayle, an Oregon woman in her early 30s. At first I ignored her ample beauty, as it was entirely besides the point of her story. By the end of the interview however, it was apparent to me that she was incredibly beautiful; perhaps more so than any Hollywood actress that I can think of! She seemed so on the inside as well, and was really just like any gal next door. She is a good singer, as one can see on one of her YouTube videos, and a mother. Perhaps "Gale" comes from "Gael," as she looks like a Gaelic beauty.
