The arrival of the Jeep Wagoneer in the fall of 1962 was tremendously important for Jeep. While Willys Motors dominated the market for four-wheel-drive vehicles, there was little need to update its 1940s-vintage Jeep Station Wagon. But when industry rivals began entering the field in the late 1950s, a modern replacement became imperative.
Some 1963 Jeep Wagoneer options were two- or four-wheel
drive, base or Deluxe trim, and two or four doors. See more
pictures of classic cars.
Indeed, the development of the Wagoneer was an essential, defining event for an entire class of vehicles that would spring up over the next 40 years, bringing together four-wheel drive, ample passenger and cargo room, and ever-greater levels of luxury.
Willys Motors, since 1953 a division of Kaiser Industries, had the market for light-duty four-wheel-drive vehicles nearly all to itself for years. It began producing the CJ-2A -- the civilian version of the already-famous wartime "jeep" -- in mid 1945, then introduced four-wheel-drive trucks in 1947.
Although the four-wheel-drive market wasn't large in the immediate post-World War II years, Willys dominated it. But for 1961, there appeared a new contender. International Harvester introduced its Scout line of modern four-wheel-drive vehicles. The Scout's target was the Jeep CJ, but with more room and comfort. Suddenly, Jeep was facing serious competition.
Willys management sprang into action. In early 1961, funding was approved for a new-product program that would include an entirely new range of Jeep vehicles and a new engine.
Chief engineer A.C. Sampietro would handle the nuts and bolts, while the styling job was assigned to Brooks Stevens, the talented independent designer Willys had on retainer, and the tiny in-house Jeep styling staff under Jim Angers.
When Stevens was asked to come up with an all-new lineup of Jeep station wagons, pickups, and panel trucks, the project probably seemed a little bit like déjà vu.
A similar request during the mid-1940s was how Stevens began his affiliation with Willys. Back then, he labored on a series of postwar designs that resulted in the Jeep Station Wagon in 1946. In 1949, a four-wheel-drive version made its debut; it was the very first sport-utility vehicle.
But that was then and this was now. Willys no longer owned the four-wheel-drive market as it had a decade before. In the late 1950s, International, Dodge, Chevrolet, General Motors, Ford, and Studebaker all began offering factory-built 4×4 versions of their conventional light-duty trucks.
Then came the Scout, and if it succeeded, would others follow? Stevens was going to have to come up with something really spectacular to compete with them all.
He did.
What Stevens developed, after a series of clay studies and endless sketches, was an attractive station wagon with fashionable, almost elegant lines. Introduced in November 1962, Willys called it the Jeep Wagoneer. It was larger than the old Jeep wagons and capable of carrying six passengers comfortably.
Glass areas were unusually large, endowing the interior with an airy, open feel quite unlike any previous utility wagon. The slab-sided body had a masculine handsomeness.
Front-end styling was especially distinctive: a keystone grille flanked by large round vents almost as large as the headlamps. The hood was low, the flanks spare of unnecessary ornamentation.
It was a simple, honest look without gimmicks. This was not the sort of styling usually associated with trucks, yet it was much more rugged looking than an ordinary car. The overall style perfectly reflected Wagoneer's personality.
Family wagon features abounded, with roll-down windows at each door, a tailgate with retractable window, and a stylish instrument panel. Engineers integrated the various four-wheel-drive components into the chassis design so that although the body sat low to the road, ground clearance remained excellent.
The step-in height was almost like that of an ordinary car. The company boasted that "The Wagoneer ... is the first station wagon to offer complete passenger car styling in combination with the advantages of four-wheel-drive traction."
Wagoneer's 110-inch wheelbase was almost half a foot longer than the previous Jeep wagon, and its 183.6-inch overall length was more than seven inches greater. These were the largest, roomiest wagons Jeep had ever built.
Car Life noted "overall dimensions are almost identical to those of the Chevy II .... But Wagoneer looks a lot bigger than it really is -- for reasons we cannot fully explain."
Yet, despite its size, Wagoneer seemed lithe and nimble compared to an International Travelall or Chevrolet Suburban. That perceived difference was crucial to the Wagoneer's acceptance. In the public mind, the International and Chevrolet wagons were trucks; the Wagoneer seemed more like a family car substitute.
Even more important to its success was this: Wagoneer was a rolling laboratory of new ideas. It simply bristled with innovations. Wagoneers offered not one but two body styles; a conventional two-door utility wagon and a new four-door wagon that greatly expanded its appeal to families.
Wagoneer was also the first four-wheel-drive vehicle to offer an automatic transmission -- by any estimate, the single most-desired feature among car buyers. The optional column-shifted Borg-Warner automatic earned Wagoneer a place on the shopping lists of thousands of new-car prospects.
Wagoneer also was the first four-wheel-drive wagon to offer an optional independent front suspension, utilizing long torsion bars in place of the standard front leaf springs for a smoother, carlike ride. This setup also reduced the turning radius by 16 inches.
Four-wheel drive was operated by a floor-mounted lever. The transfer case included four-wheel high and low ranges, plus regular two-wheel drive, though apparently Wagoneers with automatic transmission didn't come with a low range. Indicator lights told drivers at a glance in which drive range the vehicle was engaged.
There was innovation under the hood as well, where the new "Tornado OHC" six-cylinder overhead-camshaft engine nestled comfortably in the large engine bay.
Although it first appeared late in the 1962 model year as an option on Jeep utility wagons, pickups, and panel trucks, the engine was developed especially for the new Jeep line.
Then the only ohc engine from a U.S. producer, its power output was exceptional: 230 cid generated 140 bhp at 4,000 rpm and 210 pound-feet of torque at 1,750 rpm, 35 horsepower and 20 pound-feet more than Willys's old Super Hurricane 226-cid L-head six.
Willys claimed it offered "the lowest specific fuel consumption of all production gasoline engines." The Tornado was the only engine offered in Wagoneers; Willys had no V-8. Standard transmission was a three-speed manual with a column-mounted shifter. Overdrive could be ordered on two-wheel-drive models only.
Designated series J-100, at announcement Wagoneer offered two trim grades. Base-level Wagoneers came with plain upholstery and rubber floor mats, while flossier Deluxe models offered full carpeting plus fancier upholstery and door trim. Later in the year, the Custom series replaced the Deluxe, apparently without any change in equipment.
The two-door Wagoneer was the price leader, especially in two-wheel-drive form, with a base price of $2,546. A four-door, four-wheel-drive Wagoneer was priced at $3,332. Like most American vehicles back then, the base price was merely a starting point.
Wagoneer offered a broad list of optional equipment. Beside the autobox, buyers could order power steering, power brakes, pushbutton AM radio, electric clock, back-up lights, seat belts, electrically operated tailgate window, chrome wheel covers, and more.
A dash-mounted compass was standard on four-wheel-drive models, optional for two-wheelers. There were work options too, including snowplows, winches -- even a rotary broom.
Automotive magazines loved the new Willys. Four-Wheeler called Wagoneer "a striking and remarkable styling change" and spoke of "important advancements for four-wheelers."
Car Life said the OHC six was "commendably smooth and quiet." Its testers recorded a 0-60-mph time of 15.9 seconds with automatic and 17 mpg on a 60-mph highway trip. City mileage was 14.5 mpg, which Car Life said "certainly demonstrates the remarkable efficiency of the OHC engine."

The Reaction to the Jeep Wagoneer
The reaction to the Jeep Wagoneer was unprecedented. The public flocked to Jeep dealers to see the new Wagoneer. Although Willys had anticipated increased sales, it was unable to keep up with the tremendous demand.
With the exception of optional air conditioning,
the 1964 Jeep Wagoneer mostly stood pat.
During 1963, Wagoneer helped set a retail sales record for Jeep in the U.S. as sales rose 42 percent to $220,799,000 and an operating profit of $9,357,000 was recorded. New dealers flocked to the Willys standard, and by year's end, the sales force numbered 1,600 franchised dealers, the highest number in years.
One historically regrettable event occurred in March 1963: Kaiser Industries vice president Steve Girard announced that the company was dropping the Willys Motors name.
From that point, the division would be known as Kaiser Jeep Corporation. The reason was a desire "to properly identify the Toledo company as one of the growing Kaiser family of industries." The Willys name would continue in some overseas markets, though.
Although there were no significant appearance changes for 1964, Wagoneers offered a new feature especially appreciated by families -- air conditioning. Although the feature wasn't as popular then as it is today, it was important for Wagoneer to offer the full range of passenger-car comforts, which enhanced Jeep's reputation for pioneering new ideas.
In response to complaints of engine knock in high-altitude areas, a lower-compression 133-bhp version of the Tornado OHC was made available.
Sales continued at a good pace and Kaiser Jeep reported an operating profit of $11.1 million for 1964 on record sales of $255,582,000. The sales network grew to 2,150 dealers and production of Wagoneers was begun at several overseas affiliates.

1965 Jeep Wagoneer
The following year saw the first significant changes with the 1965 Jeep Wagoneer. At introduction, nothing seemed different on the surface.
The 1965 Jeep Wagoneer boasted improved
safety and performance features.
But the optional Jeep Vigilante engine arrived and that was welcome news. The new engine was the two-barrel-carburetor version of the American Motors 327-cid V-8 that made 250 bhp. Along with the V-8 came a new optional automatic transmission, General Motors's excellent Turbo Hydra-Matic.
Motor Trend's test of a V-8/automatic Wagoneer yielded a 14.5-second run to 60 mph. Fuel economy ranged from 11.5 to 15.2 mpg. "These added horses let the Wagoneer cruise quietly and effortlessly at 75 mph, give it bags of low-speed torque (340 pounds-feet as compared to 210 for the Six), enable it to crawl up any hill it can get traction on," wrote Motor Trend's Bob McVay.
The Tornado OHC remained the standard engine. Both engines came with a three-speed stick as standard. Overdrive was offered with either engine, though again only on two-wheel-drive models. Wagoneers equipped with the six continued to offer an automatic, though not the new General Motors unit.
Later that same year, Wagoneer was given a handsome new full-width grille. At the same time, the Tornado OHC was replaced by AMC's more powerful 232-cid, 145-bhp seven-main-bearing ohv engine, which Jeep dubbed the Hi-Torque Six.
A new standard safety package included padded sun visors and dash, seat belts front and rear, two-speed electric wipers with washers, back-up lights, chrome outside mirror, safety-glass windshield, and dual-circuit self-adjusting brakes.
For the first time, a low range was offered for four-wheelers ordered with the automatic transmission.

1966 Jeep Wagoneer
The 1966 Jeep Wagoneer was a model that years later would be recognized as a landmark vehicle. The Super Wagoneer was a new idea, a luxury four-wheel-drive vehicle.
The interior of the Jeep Wagoneer was attractive,
masculine, and functional.
Included in its $5,943 base price (which was $2,163 higher than a four-door Custom with four-wheel drive) were air conditioning, automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, electric tailgate window, radio, and a tilt steering wheel.
The exterior included such luxury touches as a vinyl-covered roof, standard roof rack, mag-style wheel covers, whitewall tires, and unique fender ornaments. Antique Gold trim panels ran along the sides, with a matching trim panel on the tailgate.
Inside, Super Wagoneers featured fancy bucket seats, a console, and thick carpeting. The standard engine was a potent 270-bhp four-barrel version of the Vigilante V-8.
The Super Wagoneer, which lasted through 1968, was the plushest, most luxurious four-wheel-drive wagon the world had seen at that point, a pioneer that blazed a trail for today's luxury SUVs.

1967-1977 Jeep Wagoneer
Over the next decade, the 1967-1977 Jeep Wagoneer underwent many changes. Two-wheel-drive models put in their final appearance in 1967. The two-door Wagoneer, never a big seller, was discontinued after the following season.
The 1972 Jeep Wagoner Custom had an impressive
options package.
But bigger changes began after American Motors bought Kaiser Jeep Corporation in 1970. American Motors Chairman Roy D. Chapin, Jr., saw great opportunities in the sport-utility market and ordered his engineers to upgrade and refine the Jeep line.
By the 1970 model year, the Buick 350-cid V-8 had replaced the Vigilante, but during 1971, AMC's own 304- and 360-cid engines were installed as the Wagoneer's optional V-8s.
The base six, meanwhile, became the corporate 258-cid, 150-bhp unit. In mid-1970, an electric sliding steel sunroof became an option, possibly the first offered on an SUV. Interiors were upgraded, and AMC engineers made special efforts to solve noise and vibration problems.
One important result of the AMC buyout was the merging of the Jeep dealer group into AMC's larger sales network. Many more dealers were now retailing Wagoneers. As a result, sales increased at a steady pace throughout the Seventies.
Innovations kept on coming, too. In 1973, Wagoneer got the new Quadra-Trac full-time four-wheel-drive system. It eliminated the need to shift in and out of four-wheel drive, endearing it to drivers intimidated by the shift levers of conventional 4×4s. Not that Quadra-Trac was only for suburbanites.
After testing a Quadra-Trac-equipped Wagoneer, Pick-up Van & 4WD declared it "the best 4WD vehicle in the world." Quadra-Trac started a trend. Today, all premium SUVs offer full-time four-wheel drive.
The following year, a 175-bhp, 360-cube V-8 became the standard Wagoneer engine, with a 235-horse 401-cid powerplant ushered in as the step-up option. Quadra-Trac joined the standard-equipment list in 1975.
To compete with the new breed of truck-based SUVs like the Chevy Blazer and Dodge Ramcharger, Jeep brought out the Cherokee -- a virtual revival of the two-door Wagoneer -- in 1974.
When a four-door Cherokee was added in 1977, the Wagoneer was reduced to a single model with appointments roughly equivalent to those of the former Custom version. That isolation wouldn't last long, though.

1978-1979 Jeep Wagoneer Limited
The introduction of the 1978-1979 Jeep Wagoneer Limited set the sport-utility market on its ear. A spiritual successor to the old Super Wagoneer, the Limited was the most luxurious four-wheeler anyone had ever seen.
The list of standard equipment included in its $10,500 base price would have done a Cadillac proud, including as it did whitewall radial tires; air conditioning; tilt steering wheel; cruise control; AM/FM stereo with a choice of citizen's-band radio or tape player; 360 V-8; automatic transmission; Quadra-Trac; power-operated seats, windows, and locks; and leather trim for the steering wheel, bucket seats, rear seat, console, and door panels -- the first use of leather upholstery in a four-wheel-drive vehicle.
Exterior features included wood-grain side- and rear-trim panels, styled aluminum wheels, wood-grain-trimmed roof rack, and more. "Now with Wagoneer Limited, you have a Jeep vehicle of unprecedented luxury and distinction," general marketing manager R.J. Gilchrist wrote to dealers several months before Limiteds hit their showrooms.
Early advertising was placed in magazines with affluent readerships. Automotive writers were duly impressed with the Limited; Road & Track called it "The Champagne of 4-wheel-drives." Buyers flocked to it like bees to a flower and there soon was a waiting list.
These were golden years for Jeep, with the factory operating at capacity, waiting lists of buyers, and fat profit margins. (Annual Wagoneer production was in the 20,000-29,000 range from 1976 to 1979.) Then, in 1979, a fuel shortage hit America.
This was actually the second oil-producer embargo of the decade; the first came in late 1973 and lasted until the following spring. Although sales of the Cherokee dropped like a stone, Wagoneer sales held up fairly well. Still, no one knew how long this new crisis would last, so the factory began to make changes to improve Wagoneer fuel economy.

1980-1989 Jeep Wagoneer
The 1980-1989 Jeep Wagoneer developed and improved through the decade. New models were developed, and the old ones evolved to provide more desirable function and amenities.
The 1985 Grand Wagoneer featured improvements
to its suspension and Selec-Trac four-wheel-drive.
One step Jeep took in 1980 was to reinstate the 258-cid six with part-time four-wheel drive and a choice of automatic or four-speed manual transmission as an alternative to the standard powertrain of 360 V-8, automatic, and Quadra-Trac. (The optional four-barrel-carb 360- and 401-cid V-8s had already been dropped after 1978.) With the six, the Wagoneer turned in a very respectable 15 mpg in city driving and 19 mpg on the highway.
In 1981, a new Wagoneer Brougham joined the line, slotted in between the base model and the Limited. Brougham included upgraded interior trim, extra insulation, power tailgate window, roof rack, and a host of extra features.
The six-cylinder engine became standard again, with the 175-bhp, 360-cid V-8 optional for all models. The four-speed manual transmission came standard on base Wagoneers and Broughams, but automatic transmission with full- or part-time four-wheel drive was optional. Quadra-Trac and the automatic were standard on the Limited.
For 1982, a five-speed manual transmission was available, and a new Selec-Trac system replaced Quadra-Trac in April. When road conditions permitted, Selec-Trac allowed for more fuel-efficient rear-drive-only operation at the flick of a switch on the dashboard.
The base Wagoneer was dropped for 1983, leaving a choice of Brougham or Limited models. Manual transmissions were also discontinued. An automatic transmission with Selec-Trac became standard. With the standard six-cylinder engine, the Wagoneer was rated at 18 mpg city/25 mpg highway -- outstanding for a full-size SUV.
The big news at American Motors for 1984 was the introduction of smaller and more fuel-efficient Jeep Cherokee and Wagoneer XJ models. But their introduction didn't mean the end of the old Wagoneer.
Like all Wagoneers, the 1989 Jeep Wagoneer could
tow trailers that weighed up to 5,000 pounds.
The former Wagoneer Limited returned to showrooms as the Grand Wagoneer. AMC called it the "Big Daddy" of Jeep vehicles. Appearance-wise it was nearly identical to the old Limited, though new vertical taillamps replaced the horizontal wraparound lamps that been around since the beginning, and the woodgrain side decal was somewhat revised.
The six continued as standard, but the two-barrel 360 V-8 was a very popular option. With standard equipment that included Selec-Trac; automatic; power steering, brakes, windows, and door locks; six-way power seats; dual electric outside mirrors; halogen fog lamps; air conditioning; leather; tilt wheel; quartz digital clock; aluminum wheels; roof rack; and AM/FM stereo with tape player, Grand Wagoneer remained the gold standard of the SUV market.
A full-sized Wagoneer Custom with a shorter list of standard equipment that included air, automatic transmission, AM/FM radio, part-time four-wheel drive, wheel covers, bucket seats, and full carpeting was offered briefly in 1984.
However, even at a price of only $15,995 -- some $3,300 less than the Grand -- it didn't interest many buyers. Grand Wagoneer was what people were looking for in a full-sized SUV.

Jeep in the Early Nineties
In the late Eighties and early Nineties, Jeep's big Wagoneer would continue with incremental advances, such as an improved suspension and "shift-on-the-fly" Selec-Trac (1985), a new instrument panel (1986), a return to standard V-8 power (1987), and added convenience features.
Though it was near the end of the line, the 1990
Jeep Wagoneer continued to impress.
Despite advancing age -- by 1987 it had been on the market for 25 years -- it continued to thrill buyers and road testers.
That year, Road & Track called Grand Wagoneer "one of the most capable off-roaders going," said interior appointments "are truly grand," and summed it up as "a first-rate off-roader and inclement weather vehicle AMC has honed close to perfection." How many other 25-year-old designs could have earned such praise?
Wagoneer officially reached the end of the road in 1991. Having crawled back up a bit in the early Eighties after the 1979 gas crisis, sales had fallen off gradually over the next few years. Chrysler Corporation -- Jeep's parent since its purchase of AMC in mid 1987 -- planned to end Grand Wagoneer production at the end of the model year.
However, some things are hard to let go of, and it seems that a small number of 1992 Grand Wagoneers were built. One enthusiast claims to have documented four 1992s, and reports that perhaps as many as 300 were built.
Why the factory would build such a small run is a challenging question. It may have been that some last-minute orders needed to be filled, or perhaps it was an effort to use up leftover parts -- or maybe it was a combination of those things.
There was a sort of Grand Wagoneer revival in 1993, a loaded, wood-grained version of the all-new Grand Cherokee, but it didn't sell very well. After all, over the prior three decades, veteran Wagoneer owners had become accustomed to having nothing but the best. How could they settle for an imitation?

Now in its fifth year, BAMcinemaFest (June 19-28) may not have the cultural cachet of the New York or Tribeca film festivals, but it's quickly becoming a local favorite for those in-the-know. Two years ago, the New Yorker's Richard Brody called it "the city's best independent-film showcase." And that's still true—maybe even more so. While indie-big releases like Computer Chess, Drinking Buddies, Museum Hours and Ain't Them Bodies Saints will screen this year, there'll also be many films from up-and-coming local filmmakers—at least nine of the 25 features—making it something of a hometown festival. We spoke to the writers, directors and producers of these movies and asked them about life in Brooklyn, what the local film community is like, and which of the borough's movie theaters is the best.
(Full disclosure: The L publishes the programs for BAM.)

High-income U.S. residents tend to be healthier than low-income U.S. residents, but both groups seem to be more likely to suffer from chronic illness.
Lawrence Weiss and Marta Malone, researchers at the Center for Healthy Aging, have including data supporting that conclusion in a report distributed by the MetLife Mature Market Institute.
The analysts looked at the health status of U.S. residents over 40.
In one section of the report, the analysts drew on survey data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to see how the prevalance of chronic conditions changed between the 1999-2000 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) cycle and the 2009-2010 NHIS survey cycle.
The analysts broke data for U.S. residents ages 45 to 64 down by income, then determined how likely a member of each income group was to have two or more of nine common chronic conditions in either NHIS survey cycle.
The analysts then repeated the same exercise for U.S. residents ages 65 and older.
For people in the 45-64 age category with incomes below the federal poverty level, the percentage with two or more diagnosed chronic illnesses increased to 33%, from 31%.
For people the same age group with incomes at 400 percent of the federal poverty level or higher, the percentage with multiple chronic illnesses jumped to 16%, from 12%.
Similarly, in the 65-and-up age group, the percentage of people with multiple chronic illness diagnoses rose to 51%, from 43%, for the people in the lowest income category and to 39%, from 33%, for people in the highest income category.
Among people ages 45 and over, "growth in chronic conditions during the 10-year period reported is due to the prevalence of hypertension increase from 35% to 41%, diabetes from 10% to 15%, and cancer from 9% to 11%," the analysts said.
People with multiple chronic conditions are more likely to be hospitalized than other people and have more physician visits, the analysts said.

I've tried the latest precise 5.7.1 on my ASUS 1015BX AMD Fusion c60 netbook, all work fine except the sound card. It detects sound card but it doesn't work. What should i do then?
I think that when I installed 5.28 on my old laptop, that the sound didn't work initially. Then I ran the sound wizard, which identified the correct driver and it worked fine (Menu => Setup).

I use Slacko 5.3.3 on my Acer Aspire One, the label says "Model Number ZG5". It is an early one, about four years old now, and does not get much use. I take it on holiday, and mainly use it to:
Browse, check news, weather forecast, webmail.
Show slideshows of grandchildren to friends/relations.
Store and get a larger view of photos downloaded from camera.
I find that I have to take a mouse, as the I find the left and right pad buttons too awkward to use.
I don't attempt things like games or photo editing, or other things better done on a desktop when I get home.
Within that requirement envelope I've never had any trouble with Slacko.

Post subject: Pups which Work with the Acer Aspire One D270
Subject description: Cedarview PowerVR poulsbo gma600_gfx Intel GMA-3600
Hi All,
The problem with the Acer Aspire One D270 is its employment of the Cedarview graphics chip, variously identified in the subheading of this post in the hope that doing so will help others find this post. Other computers have used Cedarview chips, including the gma500_gfx and the gma650_gfx. The information here may also apply to those computers.
As of September 2013, at least three versions of Puppy Linux work almost "out of the box" with respect to graphics, wireless and sound on the D270: that is, setting the Pups up is something anyone can do with only a little more effort than setting up any Pup on any other computer. These Pups will boot directly to desktop and automatically initiate the First Run settings wizard. To obtain proper graphics during "First Run" check the video radio box on the right and click OK. Xorgwizard will run. Select "modsetting," then follow the instructions. Sound works, but very quietly. Select "Retrovol sound mixer" on the Multimedia submenu and maximize the appropriate sliders. Sound will be discernible, but not loud. [However, see below]. To obtain wireless internet access, click the Internet Connection Wizard on the Setup subMenu. Click Wired or Wireless Lan. Select the "Frisbee" tool. Wait patiently while it scans for available networks. Click your network to highlight it and then click "connect." Follow the instructions. Wait patiently. Scanning and connecting are slow, but work. (Tip: the strength of a router's wireless signal diminishes with distance. Be close to the router the first time you attempt to connect to a network).
Currently, the three Puppy's which work with the Acer Aspire One D270 are:
Pemasu's Upup raring-126.96.36.199-scsi, available from the first post of this thread:
Pemasu's Upup precise 18.104.22.168-scsi, available from the first post of this thread:
Barry K's Precise Puppy 5.7.1, available from the first post of this thread:
but read thru the thread as I recall there being a faster repository than ibiblio.
Regarding the following: I haven't tested everything. My silence regarding anything should not be interpreted as an indication that it hadn't or wouldn't work. Both raring and precise 5.7.1 will suspend (hibernate?) when the lid is closed, and re-establish wifi connections when the lid is re-opened. I have not, as yet, completely tested any other "special features" the D270 may have. But I would note that under raring, two of those special features work: holding down the Fn key and pressing the function key with the "monitor" icon toggles the monitor on and off. More importantly, holding down the Fn key and pressing the function key with the "volume" icon initiates a slider. Tapping the "direction arrows" increases and decreases volume. The output of
, using that method, was increased to very satisfactory levels.
Note: Functional
as used in this post
does NOT mean providing accelerated graphics.
Edit 9/10: Following the npierce's suggestion below that re-examine the touchpad, substantial revisions are necessary regarding PhatSlacko and Slacko 5.6 Final. For now it is sufficient to state that boot run the D270 satisfactorily. I've deleted my previously misleading information and will post my experience tomorrow.
Edit: 3/02/15: Also fully functional on the D270 are TahrPup and the LxPups based on Precise, Slacko and Tahr. Probably functional are the X-Pups based on them as well (untested). Partially functional is Carolina-1.3 Vanguard and, perhaps, Carolina-1.3 (untested). Vanguard will boot to desktop. However, dimensions are limited to 640 x 460? pixels. I could find no way to obtain a higher resolution.
Edit: 6/16/2015: Lupumini-5.28.7 is also functional. If I understand the versions of Lucid rerwin has published, all versions of 5.28.7 except Lupu3HD and the lupusupers use the 126.96.36.199 kernel and should similarly work. See
regarding versions.
If I were to guess, my guess is that at sometime during his revitalization of Lupu/Lucid, rerwin included the drivers created by Tempestuous. That may have been during his work on the 5.28.6 series. But unless you have a particular reason for using the 5.28.6 series, I see no reason to test them.
I consider the ability to run Lupu/Lucid on netbooks important. Many netbooks shipped with decent processors, but only 1 Gb of RAM. Lupu uses older graphics libraries which, in turn, use less RAM. With, by now, about 5 years of software development, there are applications to meet almost everyone's needs. The exception are recent google-chrome/chromium/SWIron, which require those newer graphics libraries. For those concerned about security, it should be noted that one of rerwin's objectives was to provide in each build patches to any discovered vulnerability. Ergo, my preference for his "7" rather than "6" series.
For what it's worth, although rerwin's Lupu revitalized 5.8.7 do not provide accelerated graphics, glxgears show they currently handle graphics about 50% faster than the other Pup's I've tried.

For controlling the mouse, the D270 has a simple touchpad, not even adorned by the two buttons below the touchpad to which I've been accustomed by Thinkpads.
It seems like you may have a "ClickPad". When you press down on the lower edge of the touchpad do you get a mechanical click? If so, does that cause the results you would normally get from a left-click? (I'm talking about actually pressing on the pad as you would on a button, not just a light tap.)

Post subject: The Acer Aspire One D270 -- further info
Thanks npierce,
I'll try that. I'll also retry Slacko 5.6 Final and Phatslacko, having just re-installed them to a USB-key. Will post what such trials uncover.
For those interested in why I acquired the D270 in the first place, and which netbooks are currently recommended, see my post @

Post subject: Slackos which work the Acer Aspire One D270
Subject description: Hopes for Future Pups
Hi All,
Thanks to npierces' suggestion, I re-examined the D270's touchpad and thus discovered how to work with Slacko Pups.
Although pressing the edges of the touchpad did nothing, it occurred to me while doing so that perhaps the solid black plastic strip just below the touchpad might be more than a design element for aesthetic purposes. Pressing the black strip with the light pressure which would send an alpha-numeric key value to a target also accomplished nothing. But by exerting considerable pressure to the ends of the black strip I discovered that it concealed both left and right mouse buttons. Using a mouse is still considerably easier. But it's nice to know that right-and-left click mouse routines are available from a naked D270.
With that discovery I was encouraged to try running the D270 under Phatslacko and Slacko 5.6 Final again.
Slacko 5.6 Final,
Unlike upup raring and the precises I discussed in the post above, the Slackos do not initially boot to desktop. Rather, during the initial boot you are required to type "xorgwizard", initiating that wizard. By now I knew to select "modsetting." The Slackos will then boot to desktop, providing 1024 x 600 resolution, the default under Windows 7.
Setting up wireless and sound were as with upup raring and the precises, except that the Slackos use an app named generic to adjust volume settings. I'm uncertain whether pressing the Fn Key + either Up or Down keys adjusts sound. No slider appeared, and I couldn't discern a difference. But that could just be me.
Unlike upup raring and the precises, tapping the touchpad has no effect. But the Slackos do respond to the Left and Right "Buttons" below the touchpad, as explained above.
While the above might suggest limitations using Slackos on the D270, such limitations are "bells and whistles", not the absence of essential functions. There are very good reasons to at least try Slackos. After all, they're free. Many users of Slacko Pups claim that their display or sound quality is better than Pups built from Ubuntu binaries. But the main reason is that 01micko, himself, and the other devs who work with him, often develop applications using slackware binaries where equivalent applications based on Ubuntu binaries are unavailable. And pets and SFSes based built from Slackware binaries frequently won't run under "Ubuntu" based Pups.
My repartitioning of the C: drive has given me an over 100 Gbs partition on the D270. Pups rarely need more than 2 Gbs. And an application in SFS form can be loaded into any number of Pups. Consequently, I have more than sufficient hard-drive space to enjoy the benefits of both Ubuntu based Pups and Slacko based Pups.
I did not try Thinslacko. During my search for solutions, I ran across a post which suggested that any Pups developed since February 2013 by pemasu or 01micko are capable of properly handling the Cedarview chip. Thinslacko is an 01micko creation.
Both pemasu and 01micko create pups using the "woof" application. Of course, so does Barry K, the creator of both Puppy Linux and the "woof" application. As noted in the above post, one of the precises which runs satisfactorily on the D270 is Barry K's Precise Puppy 5.7.1. From the foregoing, I would conclude that the capability of generating a Pup able to handle the D270's Cedar Trail processor and CedarView graphics chip is built into the "woof" application. If so, future Pups based on future kernels should be able to do so, as long as the kernels have that capacity and the creators include it in their builds.
I understand that Barry K is presently working on a Saucy Pup, which will utilize Ubuntu Saucy binaries. So I look forward, hopefully, to a Saucy Pup running on my D270 sometime in the future.
PS. 9/12: After posting the above I got to wondering if rg66's new x-precise-2.1.1, --one of my favorite Pup flavors--would work. I does, bringing to those burdened by the CedarTrail/CedarView chips the Xfce window manager out of the box. [I'll also note that the installation of vicmz' OpenboxPlus 1.5.3 with Lxpanel
can be safely installed into Slacko 5.6 Final].
x-precise is based on precise 5.7.1. Rather than unnecessarily clog the Forum's bandwidth, I'm going to assume that future Slackos, Precises, and rarings with the PAE-enabled kernel will also function properly. So I won't report successes. But I will test non-pae (retro) kernels because the D270 with only 1 Gb RAM (maximum 2 Gb) receives no benefit from Pae-enabled kernels; they may unnecessarily consume resources.
x-precise can be obtained here:
P.S. 9/14/2013: I had forgotten that upup raring discussed in my previous post had been built by pemasu using a non-pae-enabled kernel. It's also worth noting that installation of vicmz's Openbox Plus 1.5.3 (I selected lxpanel during installation) went without a hitch. The result was a modern, highly configurable operating system running on the D270.

Puppy Linux LUPU-528.005 dual boot with Grub

This install is working fine, but that is nothing new for me. I've had great results with Puppy from the first try with an old IBM 770 something like 8 years ago. Puppy also worked on an IBM T42, T23, A31, R51, and a HP tower. I would just installed the current version of Puppy that was available at the time, to a Linux partition, and use grub to dual-boot if there was a working Windows install. They all just worked. The only problem I recall was sound did not work on the 770. In that case, I did not need sound, so it was essentially a non-issue for me.

Post subject: Dell Latitude E6400 -- nice machine
Subject description: FatDog64, Upup's Raring and Precise
Hi All,
I had to replace my Thinkpad T42 which ran all 32-bit Puppies very well. Having acquired the light-weight Acer Aspire mentioned above for traveling, the Thinkpad had been relegated to providing quick access to the internet while I watched TV in the den. It was kept next to my chair on a small table by a window. Newton's Third Law and my cat conspired to alter its location. Sturdy bugger that she was, she survived the change, but became mute. Testing revealed a motherboard problem: more costly to fix than replace.
Thought I might as well upgrade. Looked for a Thinkpad T61 on ebay and Amazon Marketplace, but didn't want to spend that much. Figured I'd settle for a Dell Latitude D630, almost as highly rated, but a little cheaper. Then, as I was about to "Buy Now" via ebay I glanced down to "what others are looking at" and saw a listing for a seller refurbished Dell Latitude E6400, Ibm Core 2 Duo, 3 Gb RAM, 160 Gb Sata, Good Battery from a Top Rated Seller for $149, free shipping. Searching suggested it to be superior to the D630 and that it played well with Linux.
It came with XP Professional installed, which I'll keep primarily so that I can use Dragon Naturally Speaking. I plan to resize the hard-drive to create Linux partitions for Puppies and, perhaps, Zorin. As of now, I've successfully run from a USB-key Raring, Upup precise, and FatDog64. All were fast. Overall, it seems like a rather nice machine.

I could resist if I really wanted it but I got curious
so I bought the cheepest laptop I could find today
2800SEK which is a Close to 530USD we are paying
a bit more than in US?
Why did I bought it? To find out if the UEFI would alllow me
to bypass UEFI in BIOS so I need to go the the thread
describing succeses. So if you know the best way to
install on Pachard Bell EASY NOTE maybe it has a modell number
But I am too tired just now. Local time now is 23.20 time to sleep.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

I have a Compaq Presario 2195us laptop that is 10 years old. I bought it refurbished off the HP website at that time. I had been using XP Pro on it, but as there is no more XP support, I decided to run Puppy 5.2.8.005 off a CD. It runs reasonably well for websurfing with Firefox. Everything worked out without any tweaking (sound, headphones, (haven't checked mic)) except wireless. This came with a Broadcom BCM1506 card. I didn't try Frisbee wireless manager. I know that there is probably some pet, ndiswrapper or something I can do to get the Broadcom card working, as supposedly, they don't do too well with Linux. I even tried installing an Intel WM2200ABG card, but didn't have much sucess. I just said F it, and am using a USB wireless dongle that works out of the box with Lucid. The only small niggle is that after booting to the home page, it takes a couple minutes for the wireless to connect.
When I was using another Windows box with Slacko, Lucid 5.2.8 frugally installed with the same wireless dongle, I got a very quick connection within seconds.

I have Precise 5.7.1 frugal install, dual boot with Kubunutu 12,04, and also use Lucid 220.127.116.11 in ''live'' mode with a savefile on USB (which I have set so that there is no automatic save). This laptop doesn't boot from USB, so to use Lucid I boot from CD.
I had some trouble finding a ''large'' up-to-date(ish) Linux OS that this laptop would boot from, as most of them had issues with the graphics; then I eventually discovered Kubuntu 12.04 just yesterday, and I am delighted with it so far.
On the contrary with Puppy which I've now been using for a few months, it took me a while to find one that didn't work on this laptop, and that one (Tahr) is still in its developmental stage.
Precise, Lucid and Slacko 5.7 all work fine, although the latter runs the CPU slightly hotter, and I gather it's primarily designed for more modern hardware. Lucid is the one I have been using the most up until now, and I just installed Precise on the hard drive for fun after deleting Windows, and plan to install more Pups on the same partition.
I was slightly apprehensive at first about formatting the hard drive because of the infamous ''tattoo,'' but found installing Kubuntu (and Puppy) just as straightforward as installing an OS on my desktop pc.
Using GParted on my Lucid 126.96.36.199 installation on USB, I deleted the former sole partition on the HD and created a small primary partition just for boot files, then created an extended partition on the remainder of the HD and divided it into four logical partitions for Puppy, swap, Kubuntu, and files such as photos and videos etc. It's much more fun that way!
Even though this was an XP machine, getting rid of Windows completely was the best thing that ever happened to it. Kubuntu is faster and smoother than XP, and of course Puppy is faster still.

|Climate Projections: Should We Trust the Models?
Climate change is already affecting both natural and human systems in the United States and around the world. As greenhouse gas emissions from human activities continue to rise, the impacts of climate change are expected to become even stronger and more evident. For the first time in the history of civilization, we have reached a point where value of future planning in a broad range of sectors, including agriculture, water resources, and even tourism, depends on our ability to quantify the impacts of climate change at the regional scale. Developing high-resolution projections, however, is a challenging task. In addition to complex modeling tools and prohibitive computational demands, it also requires a solid understanding of the uncertainties and errors involved in this process. The enigmas of population growth and energy demand, the complexities of the physical climate system, and the intricacies of the statistical methods used to downscale global projections all contribute to blurring future projections. Drawing on examples from my research, I will illustrate how these and other sources of error and uncertainty can be quantified and incorporated into assessing a broad range of potential climate impacts, from cotton yields in West Texas to the ski industry in New Hampshire.

Those movies aren't accurate comparisons to a summer tentpole PG-13 sci-fi comedy based on a franchise. A better comparison might be the more recent Men in Black movies.So if this $170 million budget is true then where does the money go. How does it break down to actors/actress, equipment, food, hotels, costumes, props special effects etc.
Honestly? Same here. I thought the budget would be about 90 million. But I'm convinced that the 170 number(whether in CDN or not) is legit.
You know cellphone plans? For example something like 45 dollars gets something like 450 weekday minutes, 2 Gigs of Data and unlimited Eve and weekends? Well that's how *some* movies work a budget. Which is why you see a lot of movies with similar numbers. So, for example, 120 million dollars will you get X number of shooting days, with X Number of crew and X number of visual effect shots. Now it's not EXACTLY like that, but I was trying to find a way to describe why the 170 number makes sense to me and that's the best way I can describe it.
I was trying to find a comparable movie without lots of CGI special effects
2018 The Mule (directed and starred Clint Eastwood)
Budget $50 Million
I have not seen this movie so I would not think it has a lot of special effects or fancy props/ costumes. Besides Clint Eastwood I have not heard of any of the other actors in this movie.
2018 The Favourite (Starred Emma Stone)
Budget $15 Million
I did see this movie and it has a lot of costumes and props. I am not familiar with the director or other actors.
2018 Annihilation (stars Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh)
Budget $40-55 Million
I am not familiar with the director or other actors. A lot more special effects compared to the two movies above. Some props and costumes.
As a comparison Annihilation seems to be the movie closest to GB2020. Even at $120 Million compared to Annihilation where would the extra $60+ Million go? Salaries for the actors?
Would it be CGI SFX? I thought they were going to do as much practical SFX as possible?
The Favourite has loads of costumes and props and only cost $15 Million. Granted there weren't many explosions in this movie but a $100+ Million difference?
So we know GB2020 is working with kids and doing lots of location work. Kids can only work so many hours which limits production time which increases production length and length=money. Location work is also very expensive. Every business that closes, every road that closes, costs money. You've got to feed the crew, house the crew.
Practical effects can actually be more costly than CGI. Christopher Nolan is someone who likes to avoid CGI and his movies are routinely 100 million dollar plus. Interstellar cost about 170. Inception cost 160. The Dark Knight Rises cost 250 million(which is insane).
Some directors are known to get more bang for their buck than others. You mentioned Clint Eastwood. He's known for his very efficient shooting style and doing things very quickly. Michael Bay, who works with some very high budgets, is known for really using his budget wisely. Some productions you can see where the money went, others, like The Dark Knight Rises, blow my mind that they cost so much. Christopher Nolan doesn't use a 2nd Unit like most films, which means he shoots everything himself, so his films tend to cost more. Some directors, like Gore Verbsinki, have a very particular visual aesthetic and that aesthetic needs to be streamlined throughout the entire production. That's means lighting rigs, props, lenses, costumes, make up, everything needs to have a very specific function and look. That raises the budget.
Here's an example I use sometimes. So has everyone seen Hellboy 2? The Golden Army? That movie cost 80 million dollars. It looks like a 150 million dollar film. Easily. There's lots of great CGI, make up, animatronics, big set pieces...the works. It came out in 2008. Same year as Iron Man(which cost about 175-180 million) and The Dark Knight(185 million). I'd say Hellboy 2 has more production value on screen than either of those 2 movies. That doesn't mean those movies are bad. I love Iron Man. But Guilemoro Del Toro knows where to spend his money.
The very first Deadpool cost 50-60 million dollars. It looks like a 100 million dollar movie.
So? How can some movies look more expensive than they are? Planning is a big one. Minimal location work is another. Speed is another. Some directors only do a few setups per day. Directors like Michael Bay and GDT? 25-30 set ups a day. They work hard, they work fast. They work with the same crew over time. Trust and a shorthand get developed. The director of the first Deadpool came from the video game/visual effects world. He owns his own company. So he knew what was required and what wasn't. How many shots he needed to be CGI, what needed to be mocapped. How they could get more for less. And it worked.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (Aug. 27, 2014) – Kids say some funny things, and the members of Horace Mann's Educator Advisory Panel shared some of the best stories from their classrooms in the recent Educator Advisory Survey. The responses were so entertaining, they led to the creation of cartoon series called, "Classroom Fun-da-mentals."
Horace Mann is featuring the cartoons on its Facebook page, and between laughs, teachers are commenting providing more material for future cartoons. The cartoons are also available on horacemann.com.
"Anyone who knows a teacher has probably heard some of the funny stories they tell about their students. The cartoons are a fun way to bring some of those stories to our social community and allow them to laugh about it and add their own funny stories to the conversation," says Dawn Klintworth, Vice President of Integrated Communications. "Teachers have a challenging job, and we want to help them share some of the more lighthearted moments of their days."
To get more of a peek into "Life as a Teacher," you can check out the full survey results at horacemann.com.

Research Interests
Daniel Richter set up and installed the luminescence dating laboratory at the MPI-EVA. The major subject of his studies was hunter gatherer archaeology at the University of Tübingen (Germany) and archaeology at University College London (Great Britain). For his Master thesis he excavated a Mesolithic open air site (Rottenburg-Siebenlinden II) in southern Germany.
Initially trained as a Palaeolithic archaeologist, he switched to luminescence dating methods for his PhD to the Forschungsstelle Archäometrie der Heidelberger Akademie der Wissenschaften at the MPI for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg. During that time he received the major part of his training in luminescence at the LSCE at the CEA-CNRS in Gif-sur-Yvette (France). Subsequent to the PhD he became a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Geology at the McMaster University in Hamilton (Canada), where he received training in ESR-dating. Following his postdoctorate, he set up a luminescence dating laboratory at the Instituto Tecnológico e Nuclear in Sacavèm (Portugal). Fieldwork for numerous dating projects was performed in the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Israel, Morocco, Portugal, Spain and Syria.

Kings Park man helps town fight recycling firm
As an attorney specializing in insurance cases for 25 years, Larry Shaw of Kings Park is no stranger to courtrooms.
Serving as a witness, Shaw helped the Town of Smithtown win a Suffolk County court judgment, temporarily stopping a Kings Park recycling firm from accepting waste materials.
Town Attorney John Zollo said Shaw -- who testified about truck and machinery noise from Town, County and State Recycling, which is behind his home -- helped Smithtown win a rare legal victory in the town's lengthy battle against Kings Park industrial properties.
"It could be 3 o'clock in the afternoon, it could be 3 o'clock in the morning. . . . My house shakes," Shaw said. "If trucks brake, my windows rattle."
Third District Court Judge C. Stephen Hackeling on Feb. 1 issued a preliminary injunction barring Town, County and State from processing yard and solid waste at its Lawrence Road site, because it doesn't conform with town zoning.
Attorney Leonard Shore of Commack, who represented the company, said he and his client are weighing an appeal. Shore said the firm has a state permit to operate legally. "We don't believe that the record before the court justified the granting of a preliminary injunction," he said.
Recycling firm officials have met informally with Shaw and are willing to seek a compromise. Shore said he plans to meet Monday with Zollo to discuss a possible out-of-court settlement.
Complaints such as Shaw's are familiar to the town, which repeatedly took Kings Park industrial businesses to court in the 1980s and 1990s -- and almost always lost. Judges said the zoning code was unenforceable because the businesses predated the law, and the town could not supersede state laws that allow the companies to operate. "We don't do very well in the courts," Supervisor Patrick Vecchio said, adding he's pleased with Hackeling's order. "I think it's kind of a first. We hope that there could be more."
Zollo said the town stopped taking businesses to court 11 years ago. He said Shaw's testimony helped him build a stronger case against the company, and he believes Hackeling's decision could serve as a blueprint for future legal actions against other businesses suspected of violating town code. "We've now established to the property owner some parameters of what you can and can't do," Zollo said.
Shaw, a member of an unofficial citizens task force concerned about the businesses, said the town has legal grounds to shut them down.
"The town says all the time, 'We can't win, we can't win, we can't win,' " Shaw said. "I think they've convinced themselves they can't win. But this shows they can win if they just try."

I think William Morgan and others mentioned the house inside of the EXIT (in the negetive space of EX when tilted) sign a while ago. Only recently did I realize, while staring at one with Jim Sanders at the movies, that it is a house with a red door (on the North American Continent at least in other parts of the world it seems to prefer being green which is interesting in itself..). The EXIT leads us to Home where the heart is.
Rewatching StarMummy 2: FloWman it entrains with this scene I saw yesterday in Montana. Robin Tunney is covered in blood, allot more then ever before, making her again the Robin Red Breast which got its markings while pulling the thorns out of Jesus/FloWman's crown. The syncs with Tunney have been increasing and I think it's the 2010: Contact energy moving into and vivifying the sync web.
She is thrown through a door with a sign that reads B3, Be Free. The Robin covered in the Red Flow of Christ opens the StarG8.
Here we see the Mercury motor Andras Jokes with Seth about.
He spins the Wheel of Fortune/sync to pic the song in answer to Seth's Question "Will the world end in 2012?"
WE/ME know that Jupiter rules the wheel by its association to the Fortune card in Tarot. Note the lightning we see through the spokes of The Wheel on Crowley's Thoth Tarot version.
At 18:48 Andras explains that they have had 4 6's making it 24. Meanwhile Seth strokes his mustache with his Jupiter/42/24 finger.
Right then Andras realizes this resonates 24/42 and we see sincere surprise from Seth.
The Answer song to Seth's Question "Will the world end in 2012" is called "Little Finger".
The little finger is associated to Mercury, just like the Motor Boat Seth sits by in FloWman and which they talk about after the video.
Towards the end of the clip the talk turns to Dead Bees..
The Toynbee tiles (also called Toynbee plaques) are messages of mysterious origin found embedded in asphalt in about two dozen major cities in the United States and three South American capitals.[1] Since the 1980s, several hundred tiles have been discovered. They are generally about the size of an American license plate, but sometimes considerably larger. They contain some variation on the following inscription:
The Dead Bee points towards the Resurrection of our Jupiter/Joy non-conceptual selves in 2010: The Year We/Me Make Contact.
This weeks The Mentalist S2 E20 Red All Over starts with a man called Xander staggering outside where many have gathered for his party. They watch in horror as he holds his neck gushing with blood and collapses dead on this staircase above. I like how the steps make a kind of stepped pyramid shape with two pillars and an arch surrounding Xander, the sacrficial victim on our pyramid.
Robin Tunney investigates Xanders Murder as CBI's Teresa Lisbon.
What makes this syncnificant is that the Seth Green's Radio8Ball appearance, featuring StarMummy 2: FloWman, was uploaded yesterday probably very near the airing of this episode of The Mentalist. FloWman starts with Tunney drinking blood which then cuts to Xander from Buffy The Vampire Slayer (above) saying the words "No, I think it ends with a scary, disgusting, mummy" after climbing stairs and staring at the Inca Mummy Girl (resonating pyramids).
In the beginning of the clip uploaded last night Andras tells the audience that while watching our video they might feel like Malcolm McDowell as Alex in Clockwork Orange.
This references the famous scene where Alex is reprogrammed into subservience by the authorities.
In last nights The Mentalist Patrick Jane from the CBI, reluctantly Tunney's secret weapon, visits a self help 'cult' potentially involved in the Xander's murder.
Inside their Temple we see Blue Light. Immediately reminding me of the Blue Swan event earlier this week. That is when me and Jim Sanders went to the Winnipeg Legislature (a sophisticated Masonic Talisman) and noticed syncnificant Blue Reflections in the Pool of the Dark Star.
See Hey Zeus! post at The Blob for details about the Blue Swan incident and expansion of the Blue Sun idea.
The symbol of the group, with there Blue Lighted temple, is a Big Blue Eye. Below we see the Blue radiating Eye, a variant of the Blue or Second Sun/Swan above yellow floWers.
There leader is, wait for it... just a little longer for the dramatic effect needed.... here it comez...
Malcolm McDowell!!
Peace and Love
At the Heart of it all.
Right after posting the above stuff with Malcolm McDowell and the Blue Eye/Sun I was taking my many Alex Grey posters off of my walls. I am moving rooms in my apartment..
I get to his Gaia painting which has come up before as it features two planes passing the Twin Towers resonating the 911 Mega-Ritual.
It is clearly a prophetic piece..
It shows the world tree, the Pillar of Life that has infinite fractals up and down the macro-micro-cosm such as the human spine, the Earths and other spheres axes and the caduceus.
At the Heart of the image is the eartH which is perfect as Earth is an anagram for Heart. There is a larger Blue earth sphere surrounding within which is contained all the drama of Life's becoming including the 'good' (LOVE) and 'bad' (EVOL) that makes up existence. We then have two Blue Sphere's or Suns, again it is unveiled that the Twin Sun or Blue Sun is Earth. Earth is at the Heart of it all.
It was the Blue Eye, seen moments after the one on The Mentalist, that crowns the Earth in Gaia that made me stop, give attention and let these thoughts arise. The Blue Sun, the Earth is the heart of the matter in 2010: Contact.
Just noticed that the giant Blue Eye of God and Earth has Blue Feathered wings making it a perfect Blue Bird. Tweet!
I panned my attention down and saw this swan and duck right next to a giant highlighted Blue Eye/I palm.
The Blue Bird Swan signifies that the Blue Sun/Son is arisen.
The Ugly Duckling, humanity governed by attachment, ego and mind is turning into the Swan, Earth governed by Heart.
