Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984)
Release Date: 1 June 1984 (USA)
Plot Outline: Admiral Kirk and his bridge crew risk their careers stealing the decommissioned Enterprise to return to the restricted Genesis planet to recover Spock's body.
Assuming I created this artistic device and that I wanted to associate my wife with this other important event in my life, I would have made the following calculation from the known dates of 7/16/1963 and 4/10/1972:
From 7/16/1963 to 4/10/1972 is: 3191 days
3191 divided by 0.3459 equals 9225 days
From 3/3/1959 to 6/4/1984 is 9225 days and 6/4/1984 was a Monday. Since movies in the U.S. usually premier nation-wide on Fridays, I went with Friday, 6/1/1984, which was 3 days earlier, for the premier of "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock."

This movie opens with a guy digging holes in a desert and I think it basically reflects my escape across the desert in 1986 and 1987. The movie was released, I assume, to create a 3-5-9 connection to my escape across Africa. The premiere date was on a Friday, as are most movies in the U.S., and the next Monday was 3 years, 59 days, after I escaped into the desert from being a Prisoner of War in Libya.

Release Date: 6 December 1991 (USA)
The actress who portrays "Antonia" was 15.93 years old on 7/16/1970. The reason for that detail, I believe, is because Phoebe and I were arranged to be married, possibly before I was born, and we had some kind of ceremony in 1970 to represent that arranged marriage. The next step in that arrangement was for when she turned 16 and to see if she wanted to continue with the arrangement, or something like that.

The actor who portrays the Midshipman who is killed in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" was 3 years, 4.59 months, younger than me. I assume this also reflects that I was almost killed on that first flight of the space shuttle, where I would have still been a U.S. Navy Midshipman at the time. That name Preston also means something I can't completely remember. In my artificial and symbolic memory, I had a friend named Preston Lee. He was a U.S. Navy TM3, formerly of the USS Kitty Hawk CV-63, and he was attending Basic Electronics and Electricity School with me at the U.S. Navy base in Orlando, Florida, in early 1986.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shout_%28Devo_album%29
Released October 9, 1984
Shout is a 1984 album by the New Wave rock band Devo. It was their 6th and final album for Warner Bros. Records. Keeping with the synth-pop sound of their last few records, Shout sounds very much of its time. Despite the popularity of synth-pop in 1984, the album was a critical and commercial failure, and ultimately led to Warner Bros. Records dropping the band. Following its release, the band went on hiatus for four years.
One of Shout's best-known tracks is "Are U Experienced?", a Jimi Hendrix cover that carried on the Devo tradition of 'mutating' famous songs which began with 1978's "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction". Ironically, the cover was marginally more accessible and danceable than the heavily experimental Hendrix track, perhaps harkening to the idea of "de-evolution" through its return to a more conventional sound. Many believe this to be a smart move on the band's part considering the trouble with Warner Bros. Records at the time ("Are You Experienced?" being a 'sacred cow' of the WB catalog). As well as that Hendrix song, the chorus melody of Hendrix's "Third Stone from the Sun" is transformed into a guitar solo partway through the piece. The track "The 4th Dimension" incorporates the guitar hook from The Beatles' song "Day Tripper".

Knights Templar Seal
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_Templar_Seal
The Master of the Knights Templar's great seal was double-sided and showed the picture of The Dome of the Rock (some opinions are that the picture represents a circular dome of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre) on one side and the Order's symbol of two knights on one horse on the other side. There was also a smaller, single-sided seal, which showed the Dome of the Rock (or the circular dome of the Holy Sepulchre). Every Grand Master seal shares distinctive characteristics. In order to avoid misuse, special measures were taken regarding the seals. They were kept in a locked compartment which required three keys to open. The Grand Master himself kept one of these keys, and two of his high officials held the others. The forgery of the seals was a very difficult process because each seal was unique and hand made.

President Ford presented 4 Medals of Honor on 3/4/1976. One was Admiral Stockdale. Another was Thomas R. Norris. The third one was Lance Sijan. This represents something of a death march that started for me after I left Mars as I was heading to the Saturn moon Phoebe for a landing before I intercepted the comet on 7/2/1976. I hit some kind of meteor storm that caused a lot of damage to my Project Orion space ship and I wouldn't have enough oxygen to return to Earth if I continued on my mission as planned. I made the choice to continue to the comet instead of returning to Earth for repairs, which turned out to be the best decision any Earthling has probably ever made.

Wish You Were Here is a concept album by Pink Floyd. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios between January and July, 1975 and released on September 15, 1975 (see 1975 in music), the album would later be regarded as one of Pink Floyd's greatest albums. Its lyrics, composed by Roger Waters and concerning the music industry, question the market-oriented record companies' lack of understanding and interest for musicians. The album also pays tribute to Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd's former guitarist and chief songwriter, especially "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", and the title track itself.

As I was watching this movie on television recently, I was thinking of how similar "Dr. Floyd's" wife resembled Phoebe. I also wondered if that "Dr. Floyd" character is the basis for Pink Floyd, in that Phoebe is "Pink" and I am "Floyd." I have artificial and symbolic memories of working for a manager at ISA-ISS whose first name was Floyd and he worked out of the Memphis office.
The birthday listed for her makes her 19 years, 6 months, 3 days, old, on 7/4/1976, which is the day I recognize as when I diverted the comet, having arrived 2 days earlier on 7/2/1976.

NASA to search attics for missing moon-walk tapes
By Seth Borenstein
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Red-faced because the best pictures of its glory days are missing, NASA said Tuesday it was launching an official search for more than 13,000 original tapes of the historic Apollo moon missions.
What's missing are the never-before-broadcast, clear, original videos — not the grainy, converted pictures the world watched on television more than three decades ago.
The tapes aren't lost, says the NASA official in charge of the search. But he doesn't know where they are.
Most likely they are somewhere at the sprawling Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., which misplaced the tapes originally. But they also could be stored somewhere else.
The original video, taken directly from the moon and beamed to deep-space network observatories in Australia, has never been seen by the general public or even NASA officials.

Released

December 8, 1979 (U.S.)
The Wall is an album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released in 1979. Hailed by critics and fans as one of Pink Floyd's best albums, the album is widely regarded as a rock classic, and its morbid anthems have inspired many contemporary rock musicians. The album is included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[1]
The Wall was the last Pink Floyd album to feature Richard Wright until his return in 1987. By the time the album was being recorded, Roger Waters had tightened his grip on the band and demanded near-complete artistic control, creating tensions within the band. On January 29th 1999, the RIAA certified The Wall at 23x platinum, denoting shipments of 23 million copies in the United States alone, making it the band's best-selling album there. Internationally, the album has sold an estimated 30 million copies worldwide (60 million discs) which makes it the best-selling multiple-disc album of all-time. The album reached #1 on the Billboard album charts in the U.S. where it stayed for 15 consecutive weeks. The album would remain on the U.S. charts for two years. However, the album peaked at #3 in the band's native UK.
"Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)" was the band's only number one single from The Wall, reaching #1 in both the UK and the US. Around the world, the album produced a number of hit singles for Pink Floyd, including "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)", "Young Lust", "Hey You", "Comfortably Numb" and "Run Like Hell".

President Ford presented 4 Medals of Honor on 3/4/1976. One was Admiral Stockdale. Another was Thomas R. Norris. The third one was Lance Sijan. This represents something of a death march that started for me after I left Mars as I was heading to the Saturn moon Phoebe for a landing before I intercepted the comet on 7/2/1976. I hit some kind of meteor storm that caused a lot of damage to my Project Orion space ship and I wouldn't have enough oxygen to return to Earth if I continued on my mission as planned. I made the choice to continue to the comet instead of returning to Earth for repairs, which turned out to be the best decision any Earthling has probably ever made.

We are gathered here today to honor four Americans for exceptional military gallantry in the service of our Nation. All four of these men distinguished themselves above and beyond the call of duty. I deeply regret that one of the awards, to the late Captain Lance P. Sijan, of the United States Air Force, is posthumous. The other three, Rear Admiral James P. Stockdale, United States Navy; Colonel George E. Day, United States Air Force; and Lieutenant Thomas R. Norris, United States Naval Reserve, are here with us today.

Wish You Were Here is a concept album by Pink Floyd. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios between January and July, 1975 and released on September 15, 1975 (see 1975 in music), the album would later be regarded as one of Pink Floyd's greatest albums. Its lyrics, composed by Roger Waters and concerning the music industry, question the market-oriented record companies' lack of understanding and interest for musicians. The album also pays tribute to Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd's former guitarist and chief songwriter, especially "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", and the title track itself.

As I was watching this movie on television recently, I was thinking of how similar "Dr. Floyd's" wife resembled Phoebe. I also wondered if that "Dr. Floyd" character is the basis for Pink Floyd, in that Phoebe is "Pink" and I am "Floyd." I have artificial and symbolic memories of working for a manager at ISA-ISS whose first name was Floyd and he worked out of the Memphis office.
The birthday listed for her makes her 19 years, 6 months, 3 days, old, on 7/4/1976, which is the day I recognize as when I diverted the comet, having arrived 2 days earlier on 7/2/1976.

NASA to search attics for missing moon-walk tapes
By Seth Borenstein
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Red-faced because the best pictures of its glory days are missing, NASA said Tuesday it was launching an official search for more than 13,000 original tapes of the historic Apollo moon missions.
What's missing are the never-before-broadcast, clear, original videos — not the grainy, converted pictures the world watched on television more than three decades ago.
The tapes aren't lost, says the NASA official in charge of the search. But he doesn't know where they are.
Most likely they are somewhere at the sprawling Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., which misplaced the tapes originally. But they also could be stored somewhere else.
The original video, taken directly from the moon and beamed to deep-space network observatories in Australia, has never been seen by the general public or even NASA officials.

Released

The Wall is an album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released in 1979. Hailed by critics and fans as one of Pink Floyd's best albums, the album is widely regarded as a rock classic, and its morbid anthems have inspired many contemporary rock musicians. The album is included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[1]
The Wall was the last Pink Floyd album to feature Richard Wright until his return in 1987. By the time the album was being recorded, Roger Waters had tightened his grip on the band and demanded near-complete artistic control, creating tensions within the band. On January 29th 1999, the RIAA certified The Wall at 23x platinum, denoting shipments of 23 million copies in the United States alone, making it the band's best-selling album there. Internationally, the album has sold an estimated 30 million copies worldwide (60 million discs) which makes it the best-selling multiple-disc album of all-time. The album reached #1 on the Billboard album charts in the U.S. where it stayed for 15 consecutive weeks. The album would remain on the U.S. charts for two years. However, the album peaked at #3 in the band's native UK.
"Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)" was the band's only number one single from The Wall, reaching #1 in both the UK and the US. Around the world, the album produced a number of hit singles for Pink Floyd, including "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)", "Young Lust", "Hey You", "Comfortably Numb" and "Run Like Hell".

Remarks on Signing a Resolution and a Proclamation Declaring National P.O.W.-M.I.A. Recognition Day, 1981
June 12th, 1981
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to what I think is a very important and worthwhile little signing ceremony here in the Rose Garden. I am pleased that I'm going to sign a joint resolution and a proclamation designating July 17th, 1981 National P.O.W.-M.I.A. Recognition Day.
The brave men and women who fought for our country should all know that America does remember and is grateful and will always be proud of their courage and honor on the battlefield. And it's fitting that we pay this special tribute to those who so heroically endured the hardships and torture of enemy captivity—unusual in any war in our history, because it was the longest period that American fighting men have ever been held in captivity. Just the thought of the terrible pain that they suffered and endured should be seared in our memories forever. And let us remember, too, that 6 years after American involvement in Vietnam, in the war, we still don't have a full accounting of our missing servicemen from that conflict, an accounting that was guaranteed in the Paris peace accords that brought the fighting there to an end, an agreement which has been violated.
Recently there have been reports that Americans are still being held captive in Indochina. None of these reports, I'm sorry to say, has been verified, but the world should know that this administration continues to attach the highest priority to the problem of those missing in action. We intend to seek the fullest possible account from the governments involved.
I'm grateful that we have with us here today one of America's outstanding heroes from the Vietnam war, one of the former prisoners of war, and now the Senator from Alabama, Jeremiah Denton, accompanied by his lovely wife Jane. July 17th, it is just 16 years—or that will be—to the day that he was shot down over Southeast Asia. Now, lest someone think that there's a little confusion there, he was shot down on July 18th, 1965, but when it was the 18th there, on this side of the dateline it was the 17th. Jeremiah Denton. Who will ever forget on that first night in that first plane that arrived at Clark Field in the Philippines, and he was the first man we saw come down the ramp from the plane, salute our flag, ask God's blessing on America, and then thank us for bringing them home.
They're joined here by leaders of the House and Senate, many of their colleagues, Cap Hollenbeck and Bob Dornan, John LeBoutillier and Bill Hendon and John Paul Hammerschmidt and Tom Lantos from the House, and Senators Dennis DeConcini and Bob Dole, along with Senator Jeremiah Denton.
And now, I'm going to have the happy task of signing the proclamation and the bill.
Note: The President spoke at 3:02 p.m. at the signing ceremony in the Rose Garden at the White House.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah_Denton
Jeremiah Andrew Denton Jr. (born July 15, 1924 in Mobile, Alabama) is a retired U.S. Navy admiral and a former U.S. senator of the Republican party. He spent almost eight years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam and later wrote a book about his experiences.
Military career
Denton attended McGill Institute and Spring Hill College and graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1946. His 34-year naval career included service on a variety of ships, in many types of aircraft, including airships (blimps). His principal field of endeavor was naval operations. He also served as a test pilot, flight instructor, and squadron commander. In 1957, he was credited with revolutionizing naval strategy and tactics for nuclear war as architect of the "Haystack Concept," while serving on the staff of Commander, South Fleet, as Fleet Air Defense Officer. Denton graduated from the Armed Forces Staff College and the Naval War College, where his thesis on international affairs received top honors by earning the prestigious President's Award. In 1964, he received the degree of Master of Arts in International Affairs from George Washington University.
While serving as Naval aviator during the Vietnam War, Denton was shot down and captured on July 18, 1965. He was held as a prisoner of war for almost eight years, four of which were spent in solitary confinement. Denton is best known for the 1966 North Vietnamese television interview he gave, as a prisoner, in Hanoi. During the interview he blinked his eyes in morse code to spell out the word "torture" to communicate that his captors were torturing him. He was also questioned about his support for the U.S. war in Vietnam, to which he replied: "I don't know what is happening now in Vietnam, because the only news sources I have are Vietnamese. But whatever the position of my government is, I believe in it, I support it, and I will support it as long as I live." For his continuous resistance and leadership, even in the face of torture and inhumane conditions, he would be awarded the Navy Cross.
Finally in 1973, he was released from prison and on stepping off the plane, as a free man back in his home country, he said: "We are honored to have had the opportunity to serve our country under difficult circumstances. We are profoundly grateful to our Commander-in-Chief and to our nation for this day. God bless America."
"The Navy Cross is presented to Jeremiah A. Denton, Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy, for extraordinary heroism while serving as a Prisoner of War in North Vietnam from February 1966 to February 1973. Under constant pressure from North Vietnamese interrogators and guards, Rear Admiral Denton (then Commander) experienced harassment, intimidation and ruthless treatment in their attempt to gain military information and cooperative participation for propaganda purposes. During this prolonged period of physical and mental agony, he heroically resisted cruelties and continued to promulgate resistance policy and detailed instructions. Forced to attend a press conference with a Japanese correspondent, he blinked out a distress message in Morse Code at the television camera and was understood by United States Naval Intelligence. Displaying extraordinary skill, fearless dedication to duty, and resourcefulness, he reflected great credit upon himself, and upheld the highest traditions of the Naval Service and the United States Armed Forces."

POWs will get another homecoming, 30 years later
By Brian Kelly
Herald Writer
OAK HARBOR -- Two words. A snippet of a sentence, a phrase that lifted them higher than the lumbering Air Force C-141 could ever soar.
"Feet wet!" came the call. And in plane after plane, shouts of joy erupted as each "Hanoi Taxi" crossed the coastline of Vietnam.
Thirty years ago today, the first wave of prisoners of war came home from Vietnam. Dubbed "Operation Homecoming," it saw the release of almost 600 of the 801 Americans captured during the war.
Today at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, the freedom flights will be marked by a symposium and panel discussion hosted by a half-dozen or so Vietnam POWs. It's a hot ticket for people in uniform: Roughly 400 or more sailors and Marines are expected to attend.
Richard "Skip" Brunhaver, the pilot of a Navy A-4 Skyhawk, recalled being on the second flight out of Hanoi on Feb. 12, 1973. He spent 2,729 days, more than seven years, as a prisoner of war, most of them in Hoa Lo prison, better known as the "Hanoi Hilton."
He was 25 when he was captured -- his fighter-bomber went down because of mechanical trouble in August 1965 -- and 33 when he went home as part of Operation Homecoming.
No cheers came from on board when his plane took off from Vietnam, bound for Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines.
"We had developed so much cynicism over such a long period of time, you never knew," Brunhaver recalled. "You thought there might be some trick going on."
Brunhaver, now 62, said the mood changed once the plane crossed the coast.
"When we hit 'feet wet,' we knew it was for real. About that time, your brain clicked over and said it's time to start living again."

"Rio"
Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right you catch that mirror way out west
You know you're something special and you look like you're the best
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande
I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV
Two of a billion stars it means so much to me
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande
Hey now woo look at that did she nearly run you down
At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive
You make me feel alive, alive alive
I'll take my chance cause luck is on my side or something
I know what you're thinking I tell you something I know what you're thinking
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twists across a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grand
Her name is Rio she don't need to understand
And I might find her if I'm looking like I can
Oh Rio, Rio hear them shout across the land

Remarks on Signing a Resolution and a Proclamation Declaring National P.O.W.-M.I.A. Recognition Day, 1981
June 12th, 1981
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to what I think is a very important and worthwhile little signing ceremony here in the Rose Garden. I am pleased that I'm going to sign a joint resolution and a proclamation designating July 17th, 1981 National P.O.W.-M.I.A. Recognition Day.
The brave men and women who fought for our country should all know that America does remember and is grateful and will always be proud of their courage and honor on the battlefield. And it's fitting that we pay this special tribute to those who so heroically endured the hardships and torture of enemy captivity—unusual in any war in our history, because it was the longest period that American fighting men have ever been held in captivity. Just the thought of the terrible pain that they suffered and endured should be seared in our memories forever. And let us remember, too, that 6 years after American involvement in Vietnam, in the war, we still don't have a full accounting of our missing servicemen from that conflict, an accounting that was guaranteed in the Paris peace accords that brought the fighting there to an end, an agreement which has been violated.
Recently there have been reports that Americans are still being held captive in Indochina. None of these reports, I'm sorry to say, has been verified, but the world should know that this administration continues to attach the highest priority to the problem of those missing in action. We intend to seek the fullest possible account from the governments involved.
I'm grateful that we have with us here today one of America's outstanding heroes from the Vietnam war, one of the former prisoners of war, and now the Senator from Alabama, Jeremiah Denton, accompanied by his lovely wife Jane. July 17th, it is just 16 years—or that will be—to the day that he was shot down over Southeast Asia. Now, lest someone think that there's a little confusion there, he was shot down on July 18th, 1965, but when it was the 18th there, on this side of the dateline it was the 17th. Jeremiah Denton.

I have is that I am pretty certain navy.mil had some photos of a Midshipman flying a fighter jet a long time ago that I noted but that I can't remember when I saw it. I can still visualize that one photo about the Midshipman at the controls of the jet. He might have taken the photo or someone in the backseat made it look like it was from his perspective. They were sitting on the runway about to take off.
This photo shows the Midshipman Lt.j.g., according to the chart I found. I haven't found a Midshipman Ensign, but I would assume that the Midshipman Ensign has the same stripe as the Midshipman Lt.j.g. and the j.g. is definitely more narrow that the standard U.S. Navy Ensign shoulderboards.

That license plate from the car Forest Whitaker drives in the 1982 "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" not only has what appears to be a 1793 on the end of the sequence, but that could also be a clue about Princeton University. I have also noted a similar color scheme with certain F-14 Tomcat squadrons. I think this represents that I was flying secretly with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels while a U.S. Naval Academy midshipman, though. I have artificial and symbolic memories that suggest the Superintendant Waller of the Academy either did or did not want me to fly with the Blue Angels while I was a Midshipman. The U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Team was flying the A-4 Skyhawk back at that time and were painted blue with yellow highlights. The U.S. Navy jets are normally painted with a gray color. Whitaker's character also wore a 33 on his football jersey.

I have also been thinking this is a photo with me in. I think I am the person wearing the blue flight suit in the image below, which is from the larger image of the Pegasus rocket on the wiki site. The hair style looks familiar, but then, I really do not know what I would have looked like before 1998. I can only assume I had a similar appearance. I could have had red hair until I was 20 years old, for all I know.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_rocket
The Pegasus rocket is a winged space booster developed by Orbital Sciences Corporation (Orbital). Three main stages, filled with solid propellant, provide most thrust. The vehicle is launched from another aircraft at approximately 40,000 feet (12,000 m). The vehicle is capable of placing small payloads into low altitude orbits; launch is approximately US$30 million, depending on additional services.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bono
In 1976, Bono responded to an advertisement by fellow student Larry Mullen, Jr. to form a rock band, as did The Edge (David Howell Evans), Dick Evans, and Adam Clayton. After Dick (nicknamed 'Dik') Evans left the group, the remaining four officially changed the name from "The Hype" to "U2". Initially Bono sang, played guitar, and wrote the band's songs. When The Edge's guitar playing improved, Bono was relegated mostly to the microphone, although he occasionally still plays rhythm guitar and harmonica.
Bono writes the lyrics for almost all U2 songs, often rich in social and political themes.[1] Frequently his lyrics allude to a religious connection or meaning, evident in songs such as "Gloria" from the band's album October and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", from the The Joshua Tree album.[5] During the band's early years, Bono was known for his rebellious tone which turned to political anger and rage during the band's War, The Joshua Tree and Rattle and Hum eras.[1] Following the Enniskillen bombing that left 11 dead and 63 injured on 8 November 1987, the Provisional IRA paramilitaries threatened to kidnap Bono. IRA supporters also attacked a vehicle carrying the band members. These acts were in response to his speech condemning the Remembrance Day Bombing during a live performance of Sunday Bloody Sunday.[3] The singer had been advised to cut his on-stage outburst from the Rattle and Hum film, but it was left in.[25]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provisional_Irish_Republican_Army
Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA; more commonly referred to as the IRA, the Provos, or by some of its supporters as the Army or the 'RA.[2]) is an Irish Republican, left wing[3] paramilitary organisation that, until the Belfast Agreement, sought to end Northern Ireland's status within the United Kingdom and bring about a United Ireland by force of arms and political persuasion. But since the signing of the Belfast Agreement have sought to use purely political ways to achieve it's aims. Since its emergence in 1969, its stated aim has been the overthrow of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and their replacement by a sovereign socialist all-island Irish state.[4]
The organisation is classified as an illegal terrorist group in the United Kingdom[5] and as an illegal organisation in the Republic of Ireland.[6] However it is not currently listed as a "Foreign Terrorist Organization" by the United States of America.

I have also been thinking this is a photo with me in. I think I am the person wearing the blue flight suit in the image below, which is from the larger image of the Pegasus rocket on the wiki site. The hair style looks familiar, but then, I really do not know what I would have looked like before 1998. I can only assume I had a similar appearance. I could have had red hair until I was 20 years old, for all I know.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_rocket
The Pegasus rocket is a winged space booster developed by Orbital Sciences Corporation (Orbital). Three main stages, filled with solid propellant, provide most thrust. The vehicle is launched from another aircraft at approximately 40,000 feet (12,000 m). The vehicle is capable of placing small payloads into low altitude orbits; launch is approximately US$30 million, depending on additional services.

Hey Rudy,
I found several credited to you on this website:
http://www.dodmedia.osd.mil/
The one that caught my attention is listed below, along with the caption on the photo. Can you confirm that the cruiser in the background is actually the Jouett?. I magnified the image and I am quite certain the number on the hull is a '28' and not a '29.' There is a little shadow on the second number that indicates to me that it has the closed lower loop of an eight and a nine wouldn't have that shadow. Or more properly, it is the painted on shadow that produces the effect of raised numbers. I was on the Wainwright during the 1988 Persian Gulf deployment as an FC2 and I thought this might be a good artifact to add to the Wainwright Veteran Association.

Hi Kerry, I was out of the office the last three days. Yes, The hull number looks like a "28". I don't remember the USS JOUETT around when I was onboard the Roberts. I spent 18 hours onboard the Samuel B. Roberts photographing the damage and video taping interviews and I was trying to catch a ride on any ship in the area going back to Bahrain. I did hear the The USS Wainwright was in the area but not going my way.
That photo was taken the morning after and I was burning off the last shots in the camera before a helicopter flight out.
Thanks for the information. Rudy

Thanks for the info Rudy. Yeah, it was one hell of a ride on the Wainwright after that. We had stopped in Bahrain earlier, but we didn't touch ground again until a liberty port on our way back to Charleston. We stopped at Palma Mallorca and it was quite the extreme, going from Bahrain to the topless beaches of Palma. I was certainly also glad to see Charleston again. I saw your name on the credits for that Clooney vampire flick from a few years ago. Sounds like you've done pretty well for yourself. Going from a photographer to, I assume from your email address, to working for Paramount Studios. That's a pretty good recruiting story for the Navy. Take care, Kerry

The Sullivan brothers were five siblings who all died during the same incident in World War II, the sinking of the light cruiser USS Juneau (CL-52), the vessel on which they all served.
The Navy named two destroyers The Sullivans to honor the brothers: The Sullivans (DDG-68) and The Sullivans (DD-537). These were the first American navy ships ever to be named after more than one person. The motto for both ships was the very motto of the Sullivan brothers, "We stick together."

Lofton R. Henderson (b. 24 May 1903, Lorain, Ohio – 4 June 1942) was a naval aviator in the United States Marine Corps during World War II. He was the commanding officer of VMSB-241 at the Battle of Midway and is recognized as the first Marine aviator to die during that battle while leading his squadron to attack the Japanese carrier forces.
Navy Cross citation
The Navy Cross is presented to Lofton R. Henderson, Major, U.S. Marine Corps, for extraordinary heroism as Squadron Commander of Marine Scout-Bombing Squadron TWO HUNDRED FORTY-ONE (VMSB- 241), during action against enemy Japanese forces in the Battle of Midway on June 4, 1942. With utter disregard for his own personal safety, Major Henderson, with keen judgment and courageous aggressiveness in the face of strong enemy fighter opposition, led his squadron in an attack which contributed materially to the defeat of the enemy. He was subsequently reported as missing it action. It is believed he gallantly gave up his life in the service of his country.

Royal Gun Salutes mark special royal occasions. On these days salutes are fired from locations in London and other authorised stations in the United Kingdom and the Union flag is hoisted on government buildings.
In London, salutes are fired in Hyde Park and at The Tower of London however, on State Visits, at the State Opening of Parliament and for The Queen's Birthday Parade, Green Park is used instead of Hyde Park.
The number of rounds fired in a Royal Gun Salute depends on the place and occasion. The basic salute is 21 rounds. In Hyde Park and Green Park an extra 20 rounds are added because they are a Royal Park.
Royal Gun Salutes in Hyde Park:
Salutes are fired by the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery (41 Gun Royal Salute) in Hyde Park at 12.00 noon. They occur on the following Royal anniversaries, however gun salutes are not fired on Sundays, so if the date falls on a Sunday, the salute will take place the next day.

I assume that Lieutenant j.g. is there because he resembled me somewhat, at least from that angle. I guess I wore a moustache back then. In my artificial and symbolic memory, I "remember" that I had a moustache ever since leaving home and going into the Navy. I don't know if that means I did or did not have a moustache in reality. I can "remember" kissing a girlfriend who must not have liked it because she said something about how she was kissing my moustache. I wonder if that is actually some kind of symbolic and artificial memory about how actors and actresses kiss in movies, in that they don't really, at least not usually, kiss each other on the mouth. I have noticed that lately in some navy.mil photos. For some reason, I felt compelled to shave off my moustache after I completed my official United States federal undercover assignment at Microsoft Corporation. I also do not know if that means I usually wear a moustache or do not wear a moustache. I have artificial and symbolic memories of my younger sister telling me one time in 1995, which was the one time I had stopped wearing a moustache since 1984, in the context of my artificial and symbolic memory, that I should grow back my moustache. I also cannot tell from that artificial and symbolic memory whether I normally wear a moustache. I have been thinking I will wait to find out if my wife wants me to wear a moustache when I am allowed to return home from this official United States government assignment of prosecuting the insurrection against the United States of America.
That officer appears to be U.S. Coast Guard, judging by that shield crest on his shoulder boards. The U.S.C.G. has very similar uniforms to the U.S. Navy, except that they use that shield instead of the star for a U.S. Navy line officer. I would graduated from the U.S. Navy Academy a few months earlier and I was probably a Lt. j.g. by that time or would be before the end of the year.

http://www.reagan.utexas.edu/archives/photographs/large/c9186-21.jpg
The caption on this next photo says that the officer is a senior Midshipman but I'm not sure about that. At first glance, I would say he has already been commissioned as a U.S. Navy Ensign, judging by the shoulderboards. There is a Midshipman Ensign though, that I found on the internet, that has a similar shoulderboard. The Midshipman also wear shoulders boards, but the non-Brigade Midshipman officer, if I am using the correct terminology, wears a shoulderboard that has a narrower stripe and is easily distinquished from the commissioned officer rank of Ensign. The telling feature may be that the officer appears to have a moustache and I doubt any grade of Midshipman could wear facial hair while attending the U.S. Naval Academy. I also am quite certain that is a photo of me after I had graduated with the Class of 1982 and was commissioned as a U.S. Navy Ensign.
As I look at the image of the Midshipman insignia, it could be that the Midshipman Ensign has the same narrow gold stripe on the shoulderboard as the Midshipman 1/C. The only difference may be that the Midshipman Ensign has the star on the shoulderboard while the Midshipman 1/C has the fouled anchor. If that is all true, then the Midshipman Ensign shoulderboard would be easily distinquishable from the U.S. Navy Ensign shoulderboard and the officer in this photo would obviously be a commissioned officer. And if that is me, I wonder if the date stamp is correct. The Falklands War would have been over by then but I wonder if I was in Lebanon at that time.
And every time I look at that U.S. Navy Ensign standing as he is and how I think he is me, I think I am standing like Jim Morrison of The Doors would pose in a photo. Every time I look at that photo, I think that.
I also think of how my step-sister, Deana, asked me if she could have a football jersey I wore my first year on the De Queen football team. That jersey looked just like those shirts the Plebes are wearing, except that my jersey and the number 62 in the standard location for football jerseys and did not have that U.S. Naval Academy crest on it. I found a photo of Phoebe where she seems to be recording a song and she is also wearing a shirt like those Plebe shirt, except that hers doesn't have the crest on it either, which of course, could have been edited from the photo. I am quite certain that my step-sister, Deana, is a stand-in in my artificial and symbolic memory for Phoebe. It is from when Phoebe and I were friends long before we started dating. The photos of Phoebe from the early 80's resemble Deana. She would be my step-sister, in the context of my artificial and symbolic memory, because the Apollo and Phoebe figures from mythology were brother and sister. I can't "remember" how my step-sister looks though. I just have some kind of unexplained sense that is the reason for that artificial and symbolic memory.

Date Shot: 1 Jul 1982
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/75/USN_Midshipman_Insignia.png
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midshipman
In the United States Navy a Midshipman is for all intents and purposes an officer cadet, although the rank of Midshipman is still an appointed line officer rank in the Navy, similar to the Royal Navy. The rank of Midshipman is utilized by the U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, and Naval ROTC. Midshipmen wear uniforms similar to those of U.S. Navy officers, with rank insignia which varies by school year. A Freshman (Midshipman Fourth Class or "Plebe") wears no collar insignia, a Sophomore (Midshipman Third Class or "Youngster") wears a single fouled anchor on the right collar point, a Junior (Midshipman Second Class) fouled anchors on each collar point, and a Senior (Midshipman First Class or "Firstie") wears fouled anchors with perched eagles, or a Midshipman officer rank. Marine Corps options wear enlisted Eagle, Globe, and Anchors in place of the anchors or crows. Shoulder boards have a gold anchor (or Marine Option EGA), and stripes, slanted or horizontal, indicating rank, except for Midshipman officers, whose shoulder boards have a small gold star and horizontal stripes indicating their rank. Midshipman officer ranks are those of the U.S. Navy, but the collar insignia are gold bars, for the ranks of Midshipman Ensign (one bar or stripe) to Midshipman Captain (six bars or stripes) in the Brigade of Midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy and in Naval ROTC, with the second highest Midshipman grade being Midshipman Commander, which is the highest rank at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. A Naval Academy Midshipman receives about $850 a month for expenses, but it is usually greatly reduced by books, barber, and uniform bills. NROTC Midshipmen receive a $250 to $400 monthly stipend if they are on scholarship or advanced standing after their sophomore year. All NROTC Midshipmen are issued uniforms, typically service dress blues, service khakis, summer whites and dress whites. Some NROTC units may issue camouflauge utility uniforms to the majority of students, but all NROTC Marine Option Midshipmen and Naval Academy Midshipmen receive them.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensign_%28rank%29
In the United States Navy, the rank of "Ensign" superseded in 1862 that of "Passed Midshipman". Ensign is the most junior commissioned officer in the United States Navy, the United States Coast Guard, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Corps and the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps ranking below Lieutenant Junior Grade. It is also equivalent to a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army, United States Marine Corps and the United States Air Force. A typical Ensign is at specialty training for up to two years after receipt of the commission, depending on specialty, and after that is a division officer, leading a group of petty officers and enlisted personnel in a division. Even this billet, however, is for training purposes, as the division officer's duties and responsibilities are specifically designed to familiarize the "Div-O" with the appropriate naval systems, programs, and polices. U.S. Navy and Coast Guard Ensigns wear a collar insignia of a single gold bar, hence their nickname of "butterbars" (shared with Army, Air Force and Marine 2nd Lieutenants).
I wonder if I "remember" this in terms of not being able to make it back home in time for Melissa's wedding because I was getting leave until later that month, which was for my transfer to the USS Taylor. I think it was 12/1/1984 when Bobby and Melissa married and I must have only missed it by a few days. I can still visualize the wedding photo in the paper and thinking I wished I could have been there to be in the photo.
I want to say it was 12/4/1984 when I made it home on leave and then I reported to the Taylor on 12/19/1984. I didn't understand my orders, which indicated that the ship was in Bath, Maine, because the orders indicated the home port was Charleston, so I flew there. I can still "remember" flying in to that old airport. I can "remember" going to the Charleston base to check in and waiting for a while until they told me the ship was in Bath, Maine. My original orders indicated the ship was in Bathe, Maine, and I had no idea what that meant. I can "remember" taking the taxi back to the airport. The taxi driver told me to not forget to give him a tip. A few months later, after the Taylor had moved to Charleston as the home port, I was on liberty and I got in the taxi again with one of the drivers from that first night and I was talking about that mix up.
I don't know if that artificial and symbolic memory means that I did make it to her wedding or I did not make it to her wedding in 1984.

Some other subjects I was thinking about again:
John Tower is 33 years, 5 months, 3 days, older than me, suggesting to me that President Reagan was trying to create a 33-59 connection to me. I assume that Iran-Contra was really about why I was missing and presumed dead and I guess he was taking heat for it. I am quite certain he knew I was still alive though, for certain periods of time, but he couldn't send in any forces to extract me. And when he could, the traitors would sabotage the rescue attempt somehow. It was all part of the effort to pirate my identity. I see signs of it happening still today and it is evidence that Microsoft-Corbis-Al Qaeda has corrupted certain public officials in the United States of America, in support of their insurrection against the United States of America.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tower
John Goodwin Tower (September 29, 1925 – April 5, 1991) was the first Republican United States senator from Texas since Reconstruction. He served from 1961 until his retirement in January 1985, after which time he was the chairman of the Reagan-appointed Tower Commission that investigated the Iran-Contra Affair.
From 3/4/1986 to 2/26/1987 is: 359 days
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tower
In November 1986, President Reagan asked Tower to chair the President's Special Review Board to study the action of the National Security Council and its staff during the Iran-Contra Affair. The board, which became known as the Tower Commission, issued its report on February 26, 1987. The report was highly critical of the Reagan administration and of the National Security Council's dealings with both Iran and the Nicaraguan Contras.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Center_bombing
In the 1993 World Trade Center bombing (February 26, 1993) a car bomb was detonated by Islamic terrorists in the underground parking garage below Tower One of the World Trade Center in New York City. The 1,500-lb (680 kg) urea nitrate-fuel oil device killed six and injured 1,042 people. It was intended to devastate the foundation of the North Tower, causing it to collapse onto its twin.
Agents and bomb technicians of the U.S. Treasury Department's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) responded to the scene of the blast. An ATF bomb technician subsequently found the axle in the bomb crater with the VIN of the Ryder truck that was used to contain the explosives. Further investigation by ATF found that the vehicle had been rented by a Palestinian named Mohammad Salameh. Yousef's friends reported the van was stolen in an attempt to slow investigators down.
On March 4, 1993 authorities announced the capture of Salameh. In March 1994, Salameh, Nidal Ayyad, Mahmud Abouhalima and Ahmad Ajaj were each convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for the World Trade Center bombing.
I pondered over whether STS-26 would point to my experience in Africa because I was 26.95 years old on 2/14/1986, which is the date I recognize as when I was shot down by anti-aircraft fire. I turned 27 when I was a Prisoner of War in Libya, if I have this all figured out correctly. I would have been 28 when I finally got home, having completed my escape on 5/13/1987. It is suspiciously similar to 10 years earlier. I spent my entire 17th year in outer space. I recognize that I spent my entire 27th year missing Africa.
The space shuttle flight STS-26 returned to Earth 3.586 years after my 26th birthday. The following day was 3.589 years after my 26th birthday. If the shuttle flight STS-26 had landed 2 days later, it would have been 3.59 years after my 26th birthday. The time period from my 26th birthday to when STS-26 landed is 1310 days. That landing was only 2 days off from creating a perfect 3-59 clue pointing to me.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STS-26
Launch: September 29, 1988
Landing: October 3, 1988
STS-26 was a space shuttle mission by NASA using the Discovery. It was the 26th shuttle mission, and the seventh for Discovery. It was the "Return to Flight" mission, being the first mission after the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. This was the first mission to use the original Space Transportation System numbering system since STS-9, and the first to have all crew members wearing pressure suits for launch and landing since STS-4.
Space Shuttle Discovery lifted off from Pad B, Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center, at 11:37 a.m. EDT on September 29, 1988, 975 days after the Challenger disaster. Launch of America's return-to-flight mission was delayed for 1 hour and 38 minutes because of unseasonable and unusual light winds aloft, and to replace fuses in the cooling systems of two crew members' flight suits. The suits were repaired, and a waiver was issued for the wind conditions after officials determined there was a sufficient safety margin for wind loads on the orbiter wing leading edges. The 26th Shuttle flight was the seventh for Discovery.
The primary payload for the STS-26 mission, a Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS), was successfully deployed, and 11 scheduled middeck scientific and technological experiments were carried out. The orbiter sustained only minor Thermal Protection System tile damage and the redesigned solid rocket boosters showed no signs of leakage or overheating at any of the joints.
Two minor problems occurred during the flight. After ascent, the Flash Evaporator System for cooling the orbiter iced up and shut down, increasing the crew cabin temperature to approximately 87 degrees Fahrenheit. The problem was resolved on Flight Day 4 and cooler temperatures resulted. A Ku-band antenna for communications was successfully deployed on Flight Day 2, but it failed to respond properly and had to be stowed for the remainder of the mission.
Besides conducting the various experiments, crew members practiced suiting up in new partial-pressure, or launch-and-entry, flight suits, and unstowing and attaching the new crew escape system. On Oct. 2, the day before the mission ended, the five-man crew paid a moving tribute to the 51-L Challenger crew.
Discovery landed on Runway 17, Edwards AFB, CA, at 12:37 p.m. EDT on Oct. 3. Mission duration was 4 days and 1 hour. Capsule Communicator Blaine Hammond Jr. welcomed the crew, saying it was "a great ending to a new beginning."
The space shuttle flight STS-27 launched 33.59 months after 2/14/1986. I recognize the date 2/14/1986 as when I was shot down by anti-aircraft fire somewhere in Africa. I would have turned 27 years old while a Prisoner of War of Libya.
From 2/14/1986 to 12/2/1988 is: 33 months, 18 days

STS-27 was a space shuttle mission by NASA using the Space Shuttle Atlantis. It was the 27th shuttle mission, and the 3rd for Atlantis, 2nd after the Challenger disaster. It carried a payload for the U.S. Department of Defense.
The Space Shuttle Atlantis (OV-104), at the time the youngest in NASA's fleet, made its third flight in a classified mission for the Department of Defense (DoD).
3 years, 5.9 months after 2/14/1986 occurred during space shuttle flight STS-28. I recognize the date 2/14/1986 as when I was shot down by anti-aircraft fire somewhere in Africa. I was 28 when I returned on 5/13/1987.

STS-28
Launch: August 8, 1989
Landing: August 13, 1989
Fourth mission dedicated to United States Department of Defense, and first flight of Columbia since mission STS-61-C. Due to the nature of this mission, details are classified. Believed to have deployed two satellites, possibly including one second-generation Satellite Data System relay.
It has been reported that STS-28 also deployed an Advanced KH-11 photo-reconnaissance satellite that used an all-digital imaging system to return pictures. The satellite was placed into a low earth orbit with a high-inclination to the equator to allow coverage of most of the Earth's surface. The KH-11 series is a digital imaging photo- reconnaissance satellite with both visual and infrared sensors.
The pioneering Space Shuttle Orbiter Columbia (OV-102), the first operational reusable spaceship in NASA's fleet, lifted off from Pad 39B, Launch Complex 39, KSC, on 8 August 1989. Liftoff time was 8:37 a.m. EDT. It was the 30th flight of the Space Shuttle, and the first flight of the refurbished Columbia since the 61-C mission on 12 January 1986. Landing was at Edwards AFB, CA, at 9:37 p.m. EDT. The mission lasted for 5 days and 1 hour.
During the flight, the crew shut down a thruster in the reaction control system (RCS) because of indications of a leak. Also, an RCS heater malfunctioned.
Post-flight analysis of STS-28 discovered unusual heating of the thermal protection system (TPS) during re-entry. A detailed report ([1] identified protruding gap filler as the likely cause. This filler material is the same material which was removed during a spacewalk on the STS-114 Return to Flight mission in 2005.
They - whoever 'they' are - were going to let my "Nova" visit me in my cage but I have been thinking that a friend observed that I didn't recognize him and told Phoebe she should wait until I have completely regained conscious awareness of my real identity. If this mental condition was permanent, then we would get back together - for better or worse, as we certainly once promised - but this condition is not permanent so at this point, we might as well wait. I'm not sure how much control I have over the conscious awareness of recognizing my real identity. It seems to come and go. I want her to have as little exposure to the dangerous world I live in of the criminals I prosecute that are actively engaged in an insurrection against the United States of America. Some of the criminals that are actively engaged in insurrection against the United States of America are Microsoft Corporation, Corbis, Rudy Guiliani, Bernard Kerik, Dave Reichert, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Robert Mueller, to name a few.
I've been undecided about when the comet would have hit the Earth if I had not successfully diverted it on 7/4/1976. Sometimes I want to say it would have been in 1978 but other times I want to say the comet would have hit the Earth in late 1976. Those comets move pretty fast through the solar system....and that always comes back to mind for some reason. I always come back to that. I don't know why. If it was going to be in 1978, then I assume the comet was going to circle around the Sun and then hit Earth on the second round.
But why do I keep thinking I would have had time to return to Earth for repairs? I can't reconcile that part, but yet, I feel as though I did have time to return before setting out again. The part about it getting closer all that time would still be true, as well as what I wrote about it being impossible to divert if I had not hit it while it was so far out in the solar system. I also keep thinking it was high above the ecliptic.
There is also the fact that there would be a speed limitation on my ship. I could travel very fast, but there would be a maximum to that ship. I could have only traveled a certain distance over a certain period of time with the maximum expenditure of the propulsion system. So if I left the Saturn moon Phoebe on 6/7/1976 and intercepted the comet on 7/2/1976, then it must not have been very far from Saturn, relatively speaking. Especially considering that I made it to Saturn from Earth in 7 months, 5 days. I intercepted the comet precisely 8 months after leaving Earth. Considering that I did not travel in straight lines along the eliptic plane, I must have traveled well over a billion miles to get to Saturn. What that means is that I must have left a tremendous amount of radioactive material in my wake to travel such a long distance in such a short period of time. I guess as long as I did not travel along the elliptic, then that radioactive material would drift harmlessly through the solar system and beyond because it would dissapate before it reached another solar system. But I don't know. It is a factor that would have to be considered before using again that type of propulsion system.

“Tiny Literary Giant”
Diane Sawyer---Good Morning America
On Good Morning America, Diane Sawyer called Adora Svitak a ‘Tiny literary giant.” The title seems astute when you measure her diminutive stature against her accomplishments. Though only four feet tall, seven-year-old Adora has written over 250,000 words this year alone. Try that one on for size.
She may be small, but she has big ideas, and, thanks to writing, she has the means to express them. At an age when most kids are still eking out simple sentences; Adora is staggeringly prolific. Her grasp of grammar, structure and syntax would be considered advanced in most high school classrooms, and her complex and intriguing plots lead readers to wonder what else Adora has up her sleeve. Hearing a seven-year-old casually use words like ‘fatalistic' and ‘immolate' is so startling, it's almost humorous, but once you get used to it, it's easy to slip into a conversation about books or politics and forget that the person you are talking to rides a bike with training wheels and sleeps with a stuffed bear.
Adora started to read chapter books at three-and-a-half. Since her first chapter book (“ Bug Inspector ”), she has never looked back, and tends to gravitate towards challenging materials. Discovering historical fiction cultivated a passion for history. The history book she cherishes the most, The Century for Young People , was a gift from author Peter Jennings, and is inscribed ‘Adora and Adrianna, you are the future!'.
It has been studied and noted that literary prodigy is far less common than aptitude in music or math. We credit Adora's achievement to her immense desire to know and understand history and human nature, and her desire to help others. Despite her rather macabre interest in piracy and despots, her simple and sincere wish is for human beings to live in peace and harmony. She has a huge kind heart and she wants to do many things in her life.
The paparazzi on television also thought this was funny when I spoke out loud about it when I was sitting alone in my room a while back. Can you even begin to understand how crazy it is that people on television know what you say when you sit alone in your apartment? These paparazzi-types are literally Nazi's and those paparazzi-insurrectionists will certainly be arrested on federal charges.

New Blog!
If you have been waiting to hear from me, you will have to wait no longer! Today is my grandma's birthday, so I'm just scraping up a little time to write this. Unfortunately, we were informed of the special occasion just before we were about to eat our dinner, so we were not prepared and all I could give my grandma was an extra-large pinecone. I was not terribly hungry, so I skipped the meal and chose to write this instead. Write back later!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adora_Svitak
Adora Lily Svitak (born October 15, 1997) Usually known simply as Adora Svitak. Svitak is an American child prodigy and internationally published author, known for her essays, stories, poems, blogs, and full-length books. Adora first became known to the public when, at the age of 6, she was recognized on local news in Seattle for her writing abilities.[1] Adora became an object of national interest at the age of 7 when she appeared with Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America.[2] Her book, Flying Fingers describes Adora's abiding love of language and writing and contains tips and hints for other aspiring writers. [3] In 2005, at the age of 7, Adora began writing blogs and keeping an online journal, where she comments on matters of both international significance and subjects of personal interest.[4][5] Since Nov, 2005 Adora has been leveraging her talent and fame to promote literacy and interest in reading and writing. She has lectured before large audiences of both students and adults across the United States, and recently in Great Britain.[6]
As of January 2007, Adora is completing her first full-length novel "Yang in Disguise," serving as a spokesperson for Verizon Reads campaign for literacy, and working on an animated computer program to help develop children's reading and speaking skills.

Hey Rudy,
I found several credited to you on this website:
http://www.dodmedia.osd.mil/
The one that caught my attention is listed below, along with the caption on the photo. Can you confirm that the cruiser in the background is actually the Jouett?. I magnified the image and I am quite certain the number on the hull is a '28' and not a '29.' There is a little shadow on the second number that indicates to me that it has the closed lower loop of an eight and a nine wouldn't have that shadow. Or more properly, it is the painted on shadow that produces the effect of raised numbers. I was on the Wainwright during the 1988 Persian Gulf deployment as an FC2 and I thought this might be a good artifact to add to the Wainwright Veteran Association.

Hi Kerry, I was out of the office the last three days. Yes, The hull number looks like a "28". I don't remember the USS JOUETT around when I was onboard the Roberts. I spent 18 hours onboard the Samuel B. Roberts photographing the damage and video taping interviews and I was trying to catch a ride on any ship in the area going back to Bahrain. I did hear the The USS Wainwright was in the area but not going my way.
That photo was taken the morning after and I was burning off the last shots in the camera before a helicopter flight out.

Thanks for the info Rudy. Yeah, it was one hell of a ride on the Wainwright after that. We had stopped in Bahrain earlier, but we didn't touch ground again until a liberty port on our way back to Charleston. We stopped at Palma Mallorca and it was quite the extreme, going from Bahrain to the topless beaches of Palma. I was certainly also glad to see Charleston again. I saw your name on the credits for that Clooney vampire flick from a few years ago. Sounds like you've done pretty well for yourself. Going from a photographer to, I assume from your email address, to working for Paramount Studios. That's a pretty good recruiting story for the Navy. Take care, Kerry

With utter disregard for his own personal safety, Major Henderson, with keen judgment and courageous aggressiveness in the face of strong enemy fighter opposition, led his squadron in an attack which contributed materially to the defeat of the enemy. He was subsequently reported as missing it action. It is believed he gallantly gave up his life in the service of his country.

Royal Gun Salutes mark special royal occasions. On these days salutes are fired from locations in London and other authorised stations in the United Kingdom and the Union flag is hoisted on government buildings.
In London, salutes are fired in Hyde Park and at The Tower of London however, on State Visits, at the State Opening of Parliament and for The Queen's Birthday Parade, Green Park is used instead of Hyde Park.
The number of rounds fired in a Royal Gun Salute depends on the place and occasion. The basic salute is 21 rounds. In Hyde Park and Green Park an extra 20 rounds are added because they are a Royal Park.
Royal Gun Salutes in Hyde Park:
Salutes are fired by the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery (41 Gun Royal Salute) in Hyde Park at 12.00 noon. They occur on the following Royal anniversaries, however gun salutes are not fired on Sundays, so if the date falls on a Sunday, the salute will take place the next day.

I assume that Lieutenant j.g. is there because he resembled me somewhat, at least from that angle. I guess I wore a moustache back then. In my artificial and symbolic memory, I "remember" that I had a moustache ever since leaving home and going into the Navy. I don't know if that means I did or did not have a moustache in reality. I can "remember" kissing a girlfriend who must not have liked it because she said something about how she was kissing my moustache. I wonder if that is actually some kind of symbolic and artificial memory about how actors and actresses kiss in movies, in that they don't really, at least not usually, kiss each other on the mouth. I have noticed that lately in some navy.mil photos. For some reason, I felt compelled to shave off my moustache after I completed my official United States federal undercover assignment at Microsoft Corporation. I also do not know if that means I usually wear a moustache or do not wear a moustache. I have artificial and symbolic memories of my younger sister telling me one time in 1995, which was the one time I had stopped wearing a moustache since 1984, in the context of my artificial and symbolic memory, that I should grow back my moustache. I also cannot tell from that artificial and symbolic memory whether I normally wear a moustache. I have been thinking I will wait to find out if my wife wants me to wear a moustache when I am allowed to return home from this official United States government assignment of prosecuting the insurrection against the United States of America.
That officer appears to be U.S. Coast Guard, judging by that shield crest on his shoulder boards. The U.S.C.G. has very similar uniforms to the U.S. Navy, except that they use that shield instead of the star for a U.S. Navy line officer. I would graduated from the U.S. Navy Academy a few months earlier and I was probably a Lt. j.g. by that time or would be before the end of the year.

The caption on this next photo says that the officer is a senior Midshipman but I'm not sure about that. At first glance, I would say he has already been commissioned as a U.S. Navy Ensign, judging by the shoulderboards. There is a Midshipman Ensign though, that I found on the internet, that has a similar shoulderboard. The Midshipman also wear shoulders boards, but the non-Brigade Midshipman officer, if I am using the correct terminology, wears a shoulderboard that has a narrower stripe and is easily distinquished from the commissioned officer rank of Ensign. The telling feature may be that the officer appears to have a moustache and I doubt any grade of Midshipman could wear facial hair while attending the U.S. Naval Academy. I also am quite certain that is a photo of me after I had graduated with the Class of 1982 and was commissioned as a U.S. Navy Ensign.
As I look at the image of the Midshipman insignia, it could be that the Midshipman Ensign has the same narrow gold stripe on the shoulderboard as the Midshipman 1/C. The only difference may be that the Midshipman Ensign has the star on the shoulderboard while the Midshipman 1/C has the fouled anchor. If that is all true, then the Midshipman Ensign shoulderboard would be easily distinquishable from the U.S. Navy Ensign shoulderboard and the officer in this photo would obviously be a commissioned officer. And if that is me, I wonder if the date stamp is correct. The Falklands War would have been over by then but I wonder if I was in Lebanon at that time.
And every time I look at that U.S. Navy Ensign standing as he is and how I think he is me, I think I am standing like Jim Morrison of The Doors would pose in a photo. Every time I look at that photo, I think that.
I also think of how my step-sister, Deana, asked me if she could have a football jersey I wore my first year on the De Queen football team. That jersey looked just like those shirts the Plebes are wearing, except that my jersey and the number 62 in the standard location for football jerseys and did not have that U.S. Naval Academy crest on it. I found a photo of Phoebe where she seems to be recording a song and she is also wearing a shirt like those Plebe shirt, except that hers doesn't have the crest on it either, which of course, could have been edited from the photo. I am quite certain that my step-sister, Deana, is a stand-in in my artificial and symbolic memory for Phoebe. It is from when Phoebe and I were friends long before we started dating. The photos of Phoebe from the early 80's resemble Deana. She would be my step-sister, in the context of my artificial and symbolic memory, because the Apollo and Phoebe figures from mythology were brother and sister. I can't "remember" how my step-sister looks though. I just have some kind of unexplained sense that is the reason for that artificial and symbolic memory.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midshipman
In the United States Navy a Midshipman is for all intents and purposes an officer cadet, although the rank of Midshipman is still an appointed line officer rank in the Navy, similar to the Royal Navy. The rank of Midshipman is utilized by the U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, and Naval ROTC. Midshipmen wear uniforms similar to those of U.S. Navy officers, with rank insignia which varies by school year. A Freshman (Midshipman Fourth Class or "Plebe") wears no collar insignia, a Sophomore (Midshipman Third Class or "Youngster") wears a single fouled anchor on the right collar point, a Junior (Midshipman Second Class) fouled anchors on each collar point, and a Senior (Midshipman First Class or "Firstie") wears fouled anchors with perched eagles, or a Midshipman officer rank. Marine Corps options wear enlisted Eagle, Globe, and Anchors in place of the anchors or crows. Shoulder boards have a gold anchor (or Marine Option EGA), and stripes, slanted or horizontal, indicating rank, except for Midshipman officers, whose shoulder boards have a small gold star and horizontal stripes indicating their rank. Midshipman officer ranks are those of the U.S. Navy, but the collar insignia are gold bars, for the ranks of Midshipman Ensign (one bar or stripe) to Midshipman Captain (six bars or stripes) in the Brigade of Midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy and in Naval ROTC, with the second highest Midshipman grade being Midshipman Commander, which is the highest rank at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. A Naval Academy Midshipman receives about $850 a month for expenses, but it is usually greatly reduced by books, barber, and uniform bills. NROTC Midshipmen receive a $250 to $400 monthly stipend if they are on scholarship or advanced standing after their sophomore year. All NROTC Midshipmen are issued uniforms, typically service dress blues, service khakis, summer whites and dress whites. Some NROTC units may issue camouflauge utility uniforms to the majority of students, but all NROTC Marine Option Midshipmen and Naval Academy Midshipmen receive them.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensign_%28rank%29
In the United States Navy, the rank of "Ensign" superseded in 1862 that of "Passed Midshipman". Ensign is the most junior commissioned officer in the United States Navy, the United States Coast Guard, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Corps and the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps ranking below Lieutenant Junior Grade. It is also equivalent to a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army, United States Marine Corps and the United States Air Force. A typical Ensign is at specialty training for up to two years after receipt of the commission, depending on specialty, and after that is a division officer, leading a group of petty officers and enlisted personnel in a division. Even this billet, however, is for training purposes, as the division officer's duties and responsibilities are specifically designed to familiarize the "Div-O" with the appropriate naval systems, programs, and polices. U.S. Navy and Coast Guard Ensigns wear a collar insignia of a single gold bar, hence their nickname of "butterbars" (shared with Army, Air Force and Marine 2nd Lieutenants).
I wonder if I "remember" this in terms of not being able to make it back home in time for Melissa's wedding because I was getting leave until later that month, which was for my transfer to the USS Taylor. I think it was 12/1/1984 when Bobby and Melissa married and I must have only missed it by a few days. I can still visualize the wedding photo in the paper and thinking I wished I could have been there to be in the photo.
I want to say it was 12/4/1984 when I made it home on leave and then I reported to the Taylor on 12/19/1984. I didn't understand my orders, which indicated that the ship was in Bath, Maine, because the orders indicated the home port was Charleston, so I flew there. I can still "remember" flying in to that old airport. I can "remember" going to the Charleston base to check in and waiting for a while until they told me the ship was in Bath, Maine. My original orders indicated the ship was in Bathe, Maine, and I had no idea what that meant. I can "remember" taking the taxi back to the airport. The taxi driver told me to not forget to give him a tip. A few months later, after the Taylor had moved to Charleston as the home port, I was on liberty and I got in the taxi again with one of the drivers from that first night and I was talking about that mix up.
I don't know if that artificial and symbolic memory means that I did make it to her wedding or I did not make it to her wedding in 1984.

Some other subjects I was thinking about again:
John Tower is 33 years, 5 months, 3 days, older than me, suggesting to me that President Reagan was trying to create a 33-59 connection to me. I assume that Iran-Contra was really about why I was missing and presumed dead and I guess he was taking heat for it. I am quite certain he knew I was still alive though, for certain periods of time, but he couldn't send in any forces to extract me. And when he could, the traitors would sabotage the rescue attempt somehow. It was all part of the effort to pirate my identity. I see signs of it happening still today and it is evidence that Microsoft-Corbis-Al Qaeda has corrupted certain public officials in the United States of America, in support of their insurrection against the United States of America.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tower
John Goodwin Tower (September 29, 1925 – April 5, 1991) was the first Republican United States senator from Texas since Reconstruction. He served from 1961 until his retirement in January 1985, after which time he was the chairman of the Reagan-appointed Tower Commission that investigated the Iran-Contra Affair.
From 3/4/1986 to 2/26/1987 is: 359 days
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tower
In November 1986, President Reagan asked Tower to chair the President's Special Review Board to study the action of the National Security Council and its staff during the Iran-Contra Affair. The board, which became known as the Tower Commission, issued its report on February 26, 1987. The report was highly critical of the Reagan administration and of the National Security Council's dealings with both Iran and the Nicaraguan Contras.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Center_bombing
In the 1993 World Trade Center bombing (February 26, 1993) a car bomb was detonated by Islamic terrorists in the underground parking garage below Tower One of the World Trade Center in New York City. The 1,500-lb (680 kg) urea nitrate-fuel oil device killed six and injured 1,042 people. It was intended to devastate the foundation of the North Tower, causing it to collapse onto its twin.
Agents and bomb technicians of the U.S. Treasury Department's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) responded to the scene of the blast. An ATF bomb technician subsequently found the axle in the bomb crater with the VIN of the Ryder truck that was used to contain the explosives. Further investigation by ATF found that the vehicle had been rented by a Palestinian named Mohammad Salameh. Yousef's friends reported the van was stolen in an attempt to slow investigators down.
On March 4, 1993 authorities announced the capture of Salameh. In March 1994, Salameh, Nidal Ayyad, Mahmud Abouhalima and Ahmad Ajaj were each convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for the World Trade Center bombing.
I pondered over whether STS-26 would point to my experience in Africa because I was 26.95 years old on 2/14/1986, which is the date I recognize as when I was shot down by anti-aircraft fire. I turned 27 when I was a Prisoner of War in Libya, if I have this all figured out correctly. I would have been 28 when I finally got home, having completed my escape on 5/13/1987. It is suspiciously similar to 10 years earlier. I spent my entire 17th year in outer space. I recognize that I spent my entire 27th year missing Africa.
The space shuttle flight STS-26 returned to Earth 3.586 years after my 26th birthday. The following day was 3.589 years after my 26th birthday. If the shuttle flight STS-26 had landed 2 days later, it would have been 3.59 years after my 26th birthday. The time period from my 26th birthday to when STS-26 landed is 1310 days. That landing was only 2 days off from creating a perfect 3-59 clue pointing to me.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STS-26
Launch: September 29, 1988
Landing: October 3, 1988
STS-26 was a space shuttle mission by NASA using the Discovery. It was the 26th shuttle mission, and the seventh for Discovery. It was the "Return to Flight" mission, being the first mission after the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. This was the first mission to use the original Space Transportation System numbering system since STS-9, and the first to have all crew members wearing pressure suits for launch and landing since STS-4.
Space Shuttle Discovery lifted off from Pad B, Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center, at 11:37 a.m. EDT on September 29, 1988, 975 days after the Challenger disaster. Launch of America's return-to-flight mission was delayed for 1 hour and 38 minutes because of unseasonable and unusual light winds aloft, and to replace fuses in the cooling systems of two crew members' flight suits. The suits were repaired, and a waiver was issued for the wind conditions after officials determined there was a sufficient safety margin for wind loads on the orbiter wing leading edges. The 26th Shuttle flight was the seventh for Discovery.
The primary payload for the STS-26 mission, a Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS), was successfully deployed, and 11 scheduled middeck scientific and technological experiments were carried out. The orbiter sustained only minor Thermal Protection System tile damage and the redesigned solid rocket boosters showed no signs of leakage or overheating at any of the joints.
Two minor problems occurred during the flight. After ascent, the Flash Evaporator System for cooling the orbiter iced up and shut down, increasing the crew cabin temperature to approximately 87 degrees Fahrenheit. The problem was resolved on Flight Day 4 and cooler temperatures resulted. A Ku-band antenna for communications was successfully deployed on Flight Day 2, but it failed to respond properly and had to be stowed for the remainder of the mission.
Besides conducting the various experiments, crew members practiced suiting up in new partial-pressure, or launch-and-entry, flight suits, and unstowing and attaching the new crew escape system. On Oct. 2, the day before the mission ended, the five-man crew paid a moving tribute to the 51-L Challenger crew.
Discovery landed on Runway 17, Edwards AFB, CA, at 12:37 p.m. EDT on Oct. 3. Mission duration was 4 days and 1 hour. Capsule Communicator Blaine Hammond Jr. welcomed the crew, saying it was "a great ending to a new beginning."
The space shuttle flight STS-27 launched 33.59 months after 2/14/1986. I recognize the date 2/14/1986 as when I was shot down by anti-aircraft fire somewhere in Africa. I would have turned 27 years old while a Prisoner of War of Libya.
From 2/14/1986 to 12/2/1988 is: 33 months, 18 days

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STS-27
Launch: December 2, 1988
Landing: December 6, 1988
STS-27 was a space shuttle mission by NASA using the Space Shuttle Atlantis. It was the 27th shuttle mission, and the 3rd for Atlantis, 2nd after the Challenger disaster. It carried a payload for the U.S. Department of Defense.
The Space Shuttle Atlantis (OV-104), at the time the youngest in NASA's fleet, made its third flight in a classified mission for the Department of Defense (DoD).
3 years, 5.9 months after 2/14/1986 occurred during space shuttle flight STS-28. I recognize the date 2/14/1986 as when I was shot down by anti-aircraft fire somewhere in Africa. I was 28 when I returned on 5/13/1987.
From 2/14/1986 to 8/10/1989 is: 3 years, 5 months, 27 days

STS-28
Launch: August 8, 1989
Landing: August 13, 1989
Fourth mission dedicated to United States Department of Defense, and first flight of Columbia since mission STS-61-C. Due to the nature of this mission, details are classified. Believed to have deployed two satellites, possibly including one second-generation Satellite Data System relay.
It has been reported that STS-28 also deployed an Advanced KH-11 photo-reconnaissance satellite that used an all-digital imaging system to return pictures. The satellite was placed into a low earth orbit with a high-inclination to the equator to allow coverage of most of the Earth's surface. The KH-11 series is a digital imaging photo- reconnaissance satellite with both visual and infrared sensors.
The pioneering Space Shuttle Orbiter Columbia (OV-102), the first operational reusable spaceship in NASA's fleet, lifted off from Pad 39B, Launch Complex 39, KSC, on 8 August 1989. Liftoff time was 8:37 a.m. EDT. It was the 30th flight of the Space Shuttle, and the first flight of the refurbished Columbia since the 61-C mission on 12 January 1986. Landing was at Edwards AFB, CA, at 9:37 p.m. EDT. The mission lasted for 5 days and 1 hour.
During the flight, the crew shut down a thruster in the reaction control system (RCS) because of indications of a leak. Also, an RCS heater malfunctioned.
Post-flight analysis of STS-28 discovered unusual heating of the thermal protection system (TPS) during re-entry. A detailed report ([1] identified protruding gap filler as the likely cause. This filler material is the same material which was removed during a spacewalk on the STS-114 Return to Flight mission in 2005.
They - whoever 'they' are - were going to let my "Nova" visit me in my cage but I have been thinking that a friend observed that I didn't recognize him and told Phoebe she should wait until I have completely regained conscious awareness of my real identity. If this mental condition was permanent, then we would get back together - for better or worse, as we certainly once promised - but this condition is not permanent so at this point, we might as well wait. I'm not sure how much control I have over the conscious awareness of recognizing my real identity. It seems to come and go. I want her to have as little exposure to the dangerous world I live in of the criminals I prosecute that are actively engaged in an insurrection against the United States of America. Some of the criminals that are actively engaged in insurrection against the United States of America are Microsoft Corporation, Corbis, Rudy Guiliani, Bernard Kerik, Dave Reichert, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Robert Mueller, to name a few.
I've been undecided about when the comet would have hit the Earth if I had not successfully diverted it on 7/4/1976. Sometimes I want to say it would have been in 1978 but other times I want to say the comet would have hit the Earth in late 1976. Those comets move pretty fast through the solar system....and that always comes back to mind for some reason. I always come back to that. I don't know why. If it was going to be in 1978, then I assume the comet was going to circle around the Sun and then hit Earth on the second round.
But why do I keep thinking I would have had time to return to Earth for repairs? I can't reconcile that part, but yet, I feel as though I did have time to return before setting out again. The part about it getting closer all that time would still be true, as well as what I wrote about it being impossible to divert if I had not hit it while it was so far out in the solar system. I also keep thinking it was high above the ecliptic.
There is also the fact that there would be a speed limitation on my ship. I could travel very fast, but there would be a maximum to that ship. I could have only traveled a certain distance over a certain period of time with the maximum expenditure of the propulsion system. So if I left the Saturn moon Phoebe on 6/7/1976 and intercepted the comet on 7/2/1976, then it must not have been very far from Saturn, relatively speaking. Especially considering that I made it to Saturn from Earth in 7 months, 5 days. I intercepted the comet precisely 8 months after leaving Earth. Considering that I did not travel in straight lines along the eliptic plane, I must have traveled well over a billion miles to get to Saturn. What that means is that I must have left a tremendous amount of radioactive material in my wake to travel such a long distance in such a short period of time. I guess as long as I did not travel along the elliptic, then that radioactive material would drift harmlessly through the solar system and beyond because it would dissapate before it reached another solar system. But I don't know. It is a factor that would have to be considered before using again that type of propulsion system.

“Tiny Literary Giant”
Diane Sawyer---Good Morning America
On Good Morning America, Diane Sawyer called Adora Svitak a ‘Tiny literary giant.” The title seems astute when you measure her diminutive stature against her accomplishments. Though only four feet tall, seven-year-old Adora has written over 250,000 words this year alone. Try that one on for size.
She may be small, but she has big ideas, and, thanks to writing, she has the means to express them. At an age when most kids are still eking out simple sentences; Adora is staggeringly prolific. Her grasp of grammar, structure and syntax would be considered advanced in most high school classrooms, and her complex and intriguing plots lead readers to wonder what else Adora has up her sleeve. Hearing a seven-year-old casually use words like ‘fatalistic' and ‘immolate' is so startling, it's almost humorous, but once you get used to it, it's easy to slip into a conversation about books or politics and forget that the person you are talking to rides a bike with training wheels and sleeps with a stuffed bear.
Adora started to read chapter books at three-and-a-half. Since her first chapter book (“ Bug Inspector ”), she has never looked back, and tends to gravitate towards challenging materials. Discovering historical fiction cultivated a passion for history. The history book she cherishes the most, The Century for Young People , was a gift from author Peter Jennings, and is inscribed ‘Adora and Adrianna, you are the future!'.
It has been studied and noted that literary prodigy is far less common than aptitude in music or math. We credit Adora's achievement to her immense desire to know and understand history and human nature, and her desire to help others. Despite her rather macabre interest in piracy and despots, her simple and sincere wish is for human beings to live in peace and harmony. She has a huge kind heart and she wants to do many things in her life.
The paparazzi on television also thought this was funny when I spoke out loud about it when I was sitting alone in my room a while back. Can you even begin to understand how crazy it is that people on television know what you say when you sit alone in your apartment? These paparazzi-types are literally Nazi's and those paparazzi-insurrectionists will certainly be arrested on federal charges.

New Blog!
If you have been waiting to hear from me, you will have to wait no longer! Today is my grandma's birthday, so I'm just scraping up a little time to write this. Unfortunately, we were informed of the special occasion just before we were about to eat our dinner, so we were not prepared and all I could give my grandma was an extra-large pinecone. I was not terribly hungry, so I skipped the meal and chose to write this instead. Write back later!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adora_Svitak
Adora Lily Svitak (born October 15, 1997) Usually known simply as Adora Svitak. Svitak is an American child prodigy and internationally published author, known for her essays, stories, poems, blogs, and full-length books. Adora first became known to the public when, at the age of 6, she was recognized on local news in Seattle for her writing abilities.[1] Adora became an object of national interest at the age of 7 when she appeared with Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America.[2] Her book, Flying Fingers describes Adora's abiding love of language and writing and contains tips and hints for other aspiring writers. [3] In 2005, at the age of 7, Adora began writing blogs and keeping an online journal, where she comments on matters of both international significance and subjects of personal interest.[4][5] Since Nov, 2005 Adora has been leveraging her talent and fame to promote literacy and interest in reading and writing. She has lectured before large audiences of both students and adults across the United States, and recently in Great Britain.[6]
As of January 2007, Adora is completing her first full-length novel "Yang in Disguise," serving as a spokesperson for Verizon Reads campaign for literacy, and working on an animated computer program to help develop children's reading and speaking skills.

[I went down to lunch here in the shelter and I picked up a cup for some milk. I reached around another person and without looking at it, picked up the cup and went to sit down. I turned the cup around and on it was printed "Canberrra World Cruise 1988" with an emblem on it of their travels through the Pacific and approaching the Persian Gulf. I looked it up here on the internet, thinking of how it seemed a Lost-esque messages in a bottle.]
http://www.sscanberra.com/index.htm
Canberra started her illustrious career in 1961, taking emigrants to a new life in Australia, but as global transportation and travel habits evolved, so did Canberra. In the early 1970's she was almost scrapped. The need for passenger liners diminished as both air travel and oil prices increased. A last minute reprieve saw the ship transferred to the growing cruising market. She never looked back.
In 1982 Canberra became an national heroine as she transported British troops into the war zone of the Falkland Islands. After the conflict, "The Great White Whale" as she had become known, returned home to a fantastic welcome in Southampton. After this, her popularity reached new heights and she became the country's favourite ship.

It seems hard to imagine that I was flying a helicopter for U.S. forces in combat during this battle because I was not even quite 7 years old back on 11/14/1965. But if I have this all figured out correctly, I had won at least 2 gold medals in the Olympics almost 2 years earlier, so I must have had very good reflexes and capabilities. I recognize the date 5/1/1967 as when I first flew a fighter jet by myself and it would seem I could fly helicopters before that.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Ia_Drang
The Battle of Ia Drang was the first major battle of the Vietnam War between the United States Army and the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN). The two-part battle took place between November 14 and November 18, 1965, at two landing zones (LZ's) northwest of Plei Me in the Central Highlands of South Vietnam. The battle derives its name from the Drang River which runs through the valley northwest of Plei Me, in which the engagement took place. "Ia" means "river" in the local Montagnard language.
Representing the American forces were elements of the 1st Battalion 7th Cavalry, the 2nd Battalion 7th Cavalry, and the 1st Battalion 5th Cavalry of the United States Army. The communist forces included the 33rd, 66th, and 320th Regiments of the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN), as well National Liberation Front (NLF) of the H15 Battalion.
The battle is the subject of the critically acclaimed book We Were Soldiers Once ... And Young by Harold (Hal) Moore and Joseph L. Galloway. In 2002, screenwriter Randall Wallace depicted the first part of the battle in the film We Were Soldiers starring Mel Gibson.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sullivan_brothers
The Sullivan brothers were five siblings who all died during the same incident in World War II, the sinking of the light cruiser USS Juneau (CL-52), the vessel on which they all served.
The Sullivans were natives of Waterloo, Iowa. They were:
George Thomas Sullivan, 27, Gunner's Mate Second Class
Francis "Frank" Henry Sullivan, 25, Coxswain
Joseph "Joe" Eugene Sullivan, 23, Seaman Second Class
Madison "Matt" Abel Sullivan, 22, Seaman Second Class
Albert "Al" Leo Sullivan, 19, Seaman Second Class
As a direct result of the Sullivans' deaths, the U.S. War Department adopted the Sole Survivor Policy.
The Navy named two destroyers The Sullivans to honor the brothers: The Sullivans (DDG-68) and The Sullivans (DD-537). These were the first American navy ships ever to be named after more than one person. The motto for both ships was the very motto of the Sullivan brothers, "We stick together."

This was a pleasant surprise. I was disappointed though when I first saw them that they were preparing to leave. I think this is the one at the link below. I love these ships. Who needs a parade when you can watch a U.S. Navy warship getting underway? If I could choose any ship I wanted for a personal yacht, it would be a Burke-class destroyer.

[I went down to lunch here in the shelter and I picked up a cup for some milk. I reached around another person and without looking at it, picked up the cup and went to sit down. I turned the cup around and on it was printed "Canberrra World Cruise 1988" with an emblem on it of their travels through the Pacific and approaching the Persian Gulf. I looked it up here on the internet, thinking of how it seemed a Lost-esque messages in a bottle.]
http://www.sscanberra.com/index.htm
Canberra started her illustrious career in 1961, taking emigrants to a new life in Australia, but as global transportation and travel habits evolved, so did Canberra. In the early 1970's she was almost scrapped. The need for passenger liners diminished as both air travel and oil prices increased. A last minute reprieve saw the ship transferred to the growing cruising market. She never looked back.
In 1982 Canberra became an national heroine as she transported British troops into the war zone of the Falkland Islands. After the conflict, "The Great White Whale" as she had become known, returned home to a fantastic welcome in Southampton. After this, her popularity reached new heights and she became the country's favourite ship.

It seems hard to imagine that I was flying a helicopter for U.S. forces in combat during this battle because I was not even quite 7 years old back on 11/14/1965. But if I have this all figured out correctly, I had won at least 2 gold medals in the Olympics almost 2 years earlier, so I must have had very good reflexes and capabilities. I recognize the date 5/1/1967 as when I first flew a fighter jet by myself and it would seem I could fly helicopters before that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porter
Porter (railroad), a railroad employee who assists passengers
Porter (carrier), a person who carries objects
Porter (college), member of staff in many of the colleges of the Universities of Cambridge, Oxford, and Durham
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portage
Portage refers to the practice of carrying a canoe or other boat over land to avoid an obstacle on the water route (such as rapids or a waterfall in a river), or between two bodies of water. A place where this carrying occurs is also called a portage, while a person doing the carrying is called a porter.
Over time, depending on the importance of the portages, they were sometimes upgraded to canals with locks, and even portage railways. Portaging generally required unloading the vessel and carrying vessel and contents across the portage in multiple trips. Voyageurs would often employ a tump line on their head to carry a load armfree on their back. Small canoes can be portaged by carrying them inverted over one's shoulders and the center thwart may be designed in the style of a yoke to facilitate this.
Portages can range in length from dozens of meters to many kilometers in length (the famous 19 km Methye Portage being a good example), and often cover hilly or difficult terrain. Most portages are the result of elevation changes, either changes in elevation from one body of water to another, or changes in elevation of the land in between. This results in most portages involving some measure of climbing or descending. However some, such as Mavis Grind in Shetland exist on an Isthmus where it is easier or safer to transport a boat over-land than round it. In these cases the climbing or descending required is often minimal.

Guiliani isn't great in a crisis - he just knew what was going to happen to New York because he is a willing participant in an insurrection against the United States of America.
George W. Bush has been impeached by me since May 17, 2004.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeach
In the constitutions of several countries, impeachment is the first of two stages in a specific process for a legislative body to remove a government official without that official's agreement. The second stage is called conviction.
Impeachment is so rare that the term is often misunderstood. A typical misconception is to confuse it with involuntary removal from office; in fact, it is only the legal statement of charges, paralleling an indictment in criminal law. An official who is impeached faces a second legislative vote (whether by the same body or another), which determines conviction, or failure to convict, on the charges embodied by the impeachment. Most constitutions require a supermajority to convict.
One tradition of impeachment has its origins in the law of England and Wales, where the procedure last took place in 1806. Impeachment exists under constitutional law in many nations around the world, including the United States, India, Brazil, Russia, the Philippines, the Republic of Ireland, and Kyrgyzstan
In the United States, impeachment can occur both at the federal and state level. At the federal level, different standards apply when the impeachment involves a member of the executive branch or of the judiciary (and dispute currently exists over the use of impeachment against members of the legislative branch). For the executive branch, only those who have allegedly committed "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors" may be impeached. Although treason and bribery are obvious, the Constitution is silent on what constitutes a "high crime or misdemeanor." Several commentators have suggested that Congress alone may decide for itself what constitutes an impeachable offense. In 1970, then-Representative Gerald R. Ford defined the criteria as he saw it: "An impeachable offense is whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history." Four years later, Ford would assume the Presidency, following the resignation of President Richard Nixon. (Nixon resigned following a committee vote to approve impeachment proceedings, but before actual impeachment by the full House.)
The standard for impeachment among the judiciary is much broader. Article III of the Constitution states that judges remain in office "during good behavior," implying that Congress may remove a judge for bad behavior. The standard for impeachment of members of the legislature is/would be the same as the Executive standard, "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_House_Resolution_333
House Resolution 333 is a resolution submitted to the House of Representatives by Representative Dennis Kucinich during the 110th United States Congress that impeaches Vice President Dick Cheney on three charges.
The resolution charges that Vice President Cheney:
has purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive the citizens and Congress of the United States by fabricating a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, as well as
fabricating a threat about an alleged relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda, in order to justify the use of the U.S. Armed Forces against Iraq in a manner damaging to U.S. national security interests; and
in violation of his constitutional oath and duty, has openly threatened aggression against Iran absent any real threat to the United States, and has done so with the proven U.S. capability to carry out such threats, thus undermining U.S. national security.
The resolution was authored and submitted by Congressman Dennis Kucinich, a representative of Ohio who is also a presidential candidate in the 2008 election. Congressman Kucinich has made available more than 45 documents supporting the articles of impeachment at his Congressional website, including at least 15 for each article
Including Rep. Kucinich, the resolution has fifteen co-sponsors
The resolution has been referred to the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties, chaired by Congressman Jerrold Nadler.
Neither the subcommittee nor the full Judiciary Committee, chaired by Congressman John Conyers, has yet scheduled a hearing on the resolution. Absent a positive referral from the Judiciary Committee, the only way the resolution could reach the floor of the House is with the approval of the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
Failure of the Judiciary Committee and Speaker Pelosi to act favorably would result in the resolution remaining in committee indefinitely, where it would never receive a vote.
The resolution was introduced by Congressman Dennis Kucinich on April 24, 2007. During his press conference announcing the resolution, Kucinich stated that he had not informed his party's leadership of the resolution and had not recently spoken about the resolution with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi or Congressman John Conyers, the Chairman of the committee to which his resolution was referred.[5]
On CNN's The Situation Room, Kucinich stated, "I'm not promoting [the resolution]... Members of Congress will have to search their own conscience, take counsel with their constituents, and make the decision independently."
George W. Bush has been impeached by me since May 17, 2004.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeach
In the constitutions of several countries, impeachment is the first of two stages in a specific process for a legislative body to remove a government official without that official's agreement. The second stage is called conviction.
Impeachment is so rare that the term is often misunderstood. A typical misconception is to confuse it with involuntary removal from office; in fact, it is only the legal statement of charges, paralleling an indictment in criminal law. An official who is impeached faces a second legislative vote (whether by the same body or another), which determines conviction, or failure to convict, on the charges embodied by the impeachment. Most constitutions require a supermajority to convict.
One tradition of impeachment has its origins in the law of England and Wales, where the procedure last took place in 1806. Impeachment exists under constitutional law in many nations around the world, including the United States, India, Brazil, Russia, the Philippines, the Republic of Ireland, and Kyrgyzstan
In the United States, impeachment can occur both at the federal and state level.

Mercedes-Benz
From 6/28/1926 to 1/21/1976 is: 3 days, 3 weeks, 594 months
33-59-4
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes_Benz
Mercedes-Benz (sometimes shortened to just "Mercedes", "Benz" or "Merc") is the world's oldest German brand name of automobiles, buses, coaches, and trucks owned by Daimler AG (2007-Present), previously Daimler-Benz (1926-1998) and DaimlerChrysler (1998-2007). The Daimler-Benz company originated on June 28, 1926 when two companies, Benz & Cie. and Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (DMG), pioneers of the automobile, merged. Karl Benz is credited as the inventor of the first 'true' automobile (patented in 1886) since Daimler's was a horse carriage adapted with an engine, whereas the Benz automobile had a chassis designed from scratch.

Tiffany Cross
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medal_of_Honor
The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration awarded by the United States. It is often colloquially referred to as the Congressional Medal of Honor because the President presents the award "in the name of the Congress".[3] It is bestowed on a member of the United States armed forces who distinguishes himself "…conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States…"
Between 1919 and 1942, the Navy issued two separate versions of the Medal of Honor, one for non-combat bravery and the other for combat-related acts. Official accounts vary, but presumably the combat Medal of Honor was known as the "Tiffany Cross", after the company that manufactured the medal. "The Tiffany" was first issued in 1919, but was rare and unpopular, partly because it was presented both for combat and noncombat events.[26] As a result, in 1942 the United States Navy reverted to a single Medal of Honor, awarded only for heroism
Since the beginning of World War II, the medal has been awarded for extreme bravery beyond the call of duty while engaged in action against an enemy. Arising from these criteria, approximately 60% of the medals earned during and after World War II have been awarded posthumously
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_cross
The Victoria Cross (VC) is a military decoration awarded for valour "in the face of the enemy" to members of armed forces of some Commonwealth countries and previous British Empire territories. It may be awarded to a person of any rank in any service and civilians under military command, and is presented to the recipient by the British monarch during an investiture held at Buckingham Palace. As it is the highest award for bravery in the United Kingdom, it takes precedence over other postnominals and medals.[2]
The VC was introduced in 1856 by Queen Victoria to reward acts of valour during the Crimean War. Since then the medal has been awarded 1,356 times to 1,353 individual recipients. Only 14 medals have been awarded since the end of the Second World War. The medal itself is made from the gunmetal of a weapon supposedly captured at the siege of Sevastopol, but several historians have since questioned the true origin of the gunmetal.[3] Due to its rarity, the VC is highly prized and the medal can reach over £200,000 at auction and there are a number of public and private collections devoted to it, most notably that of Lord Ashcroft, which contains over one-tenth of the total VCs awarded
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_war
A world war is a war affecting the majority of the world's major nations. World wars usually span multiple continents, and are devastating.
The term has usually been applied to two conflicts of unprecedented scale and slaughter that occurred during the 20th century. They were the First World War, also known as the Great War (1914–1918) and the Second World War (1939–1945).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Underwater_Demolition
The United States Navy Sea, Air and Land (SEAL) forces are the Special Operations Forces of the U.S. Navy, employed in unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, direct action, Counter-Terrorism, hostage rescue, and special reconnaissance operations.
Those qualified to become Navy SEALs are authorized, after completing Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL school (BUD/S) and a specialized program known as SQT (SEAL Qualification Training), to wear and display the Special Warfare Badge, also known as the SEAL Trident. This badge serves as the insignia for the SEALs as a whole and is one of the most recognizable warfare insignia among U.S. Special Operations Forces. It is usually worn along with the U.S. Navy paratrooper wings, which are awarded after 10 jumps. In order to blend in with units they are supporting, Navy SEALS wear modified versions of all service Battle Dress Uniforms (BDUs). However, during the Vietnam War, SEAL members wore 'tiger stripe' camouflage uniforms, often with civilian blue jeans and 'coral' sneakers, for patrol missions.

Colitas, "Little Tails", or its slang, "Little Buds".
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair, warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air...This part of the lyrics of the song "Hotel California", by the Eagles, brought on curiosity about the word, as the bigger quest for understanding the entire song itself has met with as many "ideas" as to its meaning... but...
The word "colitas" means literally, "Little Tails", thus use of the slang, "colitas", (as referenced in the song) meaning the burning of little marijuana 'tails/buds'.
Reference material for my definition was confirmed from Eagles management, as follows:Irving Azoff a manager for the group: during the writing of the song 'Hotel California' by Messrs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outdoor_Cannabis_cultivation
Harvest and processing
Cannabis Buds are typically harvested when fully ripe. Generally, ripeness is defined as when the white pistils start to turn dark yellow, orange, light to mid red, etc. and the trichomes, "crystals", barely begin to turn milky from clear. These trichomes can range from completely clear (generally deemed underdeveloped), to amberish-red. Ideally, professionals will use a decent power magnifying glass, a brix meter (to measure "sugar" content), and a microscope. The potential seed pods swell with resins usually reserved for seed production, thus improving the quality of the buds (called colitas), which will swell to form full "colas". If harvested early on with only a few of the pistils turned color, the buds will have a more pure THC content and less of the cannabinoids CBD and CBN. The later, non-psychoactive cannabinoids contribute to create the bouquet of the marijuana, and modulate the overall nature of the high from anywhere from purely psychedelic to purely sedative.
Contrary to sinsemilla (bud production focused cultivation), seeds are harvested when fully developed and often after the accompanying buds have begun to deteriorate. In contrast, hemp grown for fiber is harvested before flowering, and cannabis grown for cloning is not flowered at all.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemp
Hemp (from Old English hænep, see cannabis (etymology)) is the common name for plants of the genus Cannabis, although the term is often used to refer only to Cannabis strains cultivated for industrial (non-drug) use. Licenses for hemp cultivation are issued in the European Union and Canada. In the United Kingdom, these licenses are issued by the Home Office under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. When grown for non-drug purposes hemp is often called industrial hemp, and a common product is fiber for use in a wide variety of products. Feral hemp or ditch weed is usually a naturalized fiber or oilseed strain of Cannabis that have escaped from cultivation and are self-seeding.
Cannabis sativa L. subsp. sativa var. sativa is the variety grown for industrial use in Europe, Canada, and elsewhere, while C. sativa subsp. indica generally has poor fiber quality and is primarily used for production of recreational and medicinal drugs. A major difference is the amount of ?9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) secreted in a resinous mixture by epidermal hairs called glandular trichomes. Strains of Cannabis approved for industrial hemp production in Europe and elsewhere produce only minute amounts of this psychoactive drug. Some botanists use a different taxonomic classification to circumscribe the various taxa within the genus Cannabis.
Fiber
The fiber is one of the most valuable parts of the hemp plant. It is commonly called "bast", meaning it grows as a stalk from the ground. Hemp fibers can be 3 to 15 feet long, running the length of the plant. Depending on the processing used to remove the fiber from the stem, the hemp naturally may be creamy white, brown, gray, black or green. The use of hemp for fiber production has declined sharply over the last two centuries, but before the industrial revolution, hemp was a popular fiber because it is strong and grows quickly. Hemp has been used to make paper.[8] It was used to make canvas, and the word canvas itself derives from cannabis.[13][14] Hemp was very popular as it had many uses. However, as other coarse-fibre plants were more widely grown, hemp fibre was replaced in most roles. Manila yielded better rope. Burlap, made from jute, took over the sacking market. The paper industry began using wood pulp. The carpet industry switched over to wool, sisal, and jute, then nylon. Netting and webbing applications were taken over by cotton and synthetics. Since hemp grows quickly, it produces 250% more fiber than cotton and 600% more fiber than flax when grown on the same land.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope
A rope is a length of fibers, twisted or braided together to improve strength for pulling and connecting. It has tensile strength but is too flexible to provide compressive strength (i.e., it can be used for pulling, not pushing). Rope is thicker and stronger than similarly constructed cord, line, string, or twine. Common materials for rope include natural fibers such as Manila hemp, hemp, linen, cotton, coir, jute, and sisal. Synthetic fibers in use for rope-making include polypropylene, nylon, polyesters (e.g. PET, Vectran), polyethylene (e.g. Spectra) and Aramids (e.g. Twaron, Technora and Kevlar). Some ropes are constructed of mixtures of several fibres or use co-polymer fibres. Ropes can also be made out of metal fibers. Ropes have been constructed of other fibrous materials such as silk, wool, and hair, but such ropes are not generally available. Rayon is a regenerated fiber used to make decorative rope.
Rope is of paramount importance in fields as diverse as construction, seafaring, exploration, sports and communications and has been since prehistoric times. In order to fasten rope, a large number of knots have been invented for various uses. Pulleys are used to redirect the pulling force to another direction, and may be used to create mechanical advantage, allowing multiple strands of rope to share a load and multiply the force applied to the end. Winches and capstans are machines designed to pull ropes.
The use of ropes for hunting, pulling, fastening, attaching, carrying, lifting, and climbing dates back to prehistoric times and has always been essential to mankind's technological progress. It is likely that the earliest "ropes" were naturally occurring lengths of plant fiber, such as vines, followed soon by the first attempts at twisting and braiding these strands together to form the first proper ropes in the modern sense of the word. Fossilised fragments of "probably two-ply laid rope of about 7 mm diameter" were found in Lascaux cave, dating to approximately 17,000 BP.[1]
The ancient Egyptians were probably the first civilization to develop special tools to make rope. Egyptian rope dates back to 4000 to 3500 B.C. and was generally made of water reed fibers. Other rope in antiquity was made from the fibers of date palms, flax, grass, papyrus, leather, or animal hair. The use of such ropes pulled by thousands of workers allowed the Egyptians to move the heavy stones required to build their monuments. Starting from approximately 2800 B.C., rope made of hemp fibers was in use in China. Rope and the craft of rope making spread throughout Asia, India, and Europe over the next several thousand years.
In the Middle Ages (from the thirteenth century to the eighteenth century), from the British Isles to Italy, ropes were constructed in so-called rope walks, very long buildings where strands the full length of the rope were spread out and then laid up or twisted together to form the rope. The cable length was thus set by the length of the available rope walk. This is related to the unit of length termed cable length. This allowed for long ropes of up to 300 yards long or longer to be made. Short ropes are useless on tall ships which require ropes to be long, relatively uniform in diameter, and strong. Short ropes would require splicing to make them long. The strongest form of splicing is the short splice, which doubles the diameter of the rope at the area of the splice. This would cause problems in the rigging hardware such as buckles and pulleys.
Leonardo da Vinci drew sketches of a concept for a ropemaking machine, but just like many other of his inventions, they never got built. Nevertheless, remarkable feats of construction were accomplished without advanced technology: In 1586, Domenico Fontana erected the 327 ton obelisk on Rome's Saint Peter's Square with a concerted effort of 900 men, 75 horses, and countless pulleys and meters of rope. By the late 1700s several working machines had been built and patented.
Rope continued to be made from natural fibers until the 1950s when synthetic fibers such as nylon became popular.
Handling rope
Rope made from hemp, cotton or nylon is generally stored in a cool dry place for proper storage. To prevent kinking it is usually coiled. To prevent fraying or unraveling, the ends of a rope are bound with twine, tape, or heat shrink tubing. The ends of plastic fiber ropes are often melted and fused solid. If a load-bearing rope gets a sharp or sudden jolt or the rope shows signs of deteriorating, it is recommended that the rope be replaced immediately and should be discarded or only used for non-load-bearing tasks.
Line
A piece of rope that has a specific purpose is called a line, especially in nautical usage. Examples include clothesline, chalk line, anchor line, stern line, fishing line etc.

Some ropes are constructed of mixtures of several fibres or use co-polymer fibres. Ropes can also be made out of metal fibers. Ropes have been constructed of other fibrous materials such as silk, wool, and hair, but such ropes are not generally available. Rayon is a regenerated fiber used to make decorative rope.
Rope is of paramount importance in fields as diverse as construction, seafaring, exploration, sports and communications and has been since prehistoric times. In order to fasten rope, a large number of knots have been invented for various uses. Pulleys are used to redirect the pulling force to another direction, and may be used to create mechanical advantage, allowing multiple strands of rope to share a load and multiply the force applied to the end. Winches and capstans are machines designed to pull ropes.
The use of ropes for hunting, pulling, fastening, attaching, carrying, lifting, and climbing dates back to prehistoric times and has always been essential to mankind's technological progress. It is likely that the earliest "ropes" were naturally occurring lengths of plant fiber, such as vines, followed soon by the first attempts at twisting and braiding these strands together to form the first proper ropes in the modern sense of the word. Fossilised fragments of "probably two-ply laid rope of about 7 mm diameter" were found in Lascaux cave, dating to approximately 17,000 BP.[1]
The ancient Egyptians were probably the first civilization to develop special tools to make rope. Egyptian rope dates back to 4000 to 3500 B.C. and was generally made of water reed fibers. Other rope in antiquity was made from the fibers of date palms, flax, grass, papyrus, leather, or animal hair. The use of such ropes pulled by thousands of workers allowed the Egyptians to move the heavy stones required to build their monuments. Starting from approximately 2800 B.C., rope made of hemp fibers was in use in China. Rope and the craft of rope making spread throughout Asia, India, and Europe over the next several thousand years.
In the Middle Ages (from the thirteenth century to the eighteenth century), from the British Isles to Italy, ropes were constructed in so-called rope walks, very long buildings where strands the full length of the rope were spread out and then laid up or twisted together to form the rope. The cable length was thus set by the length of the available rope walk. This is related to the unit of length termed cable length. This allowed for long ropes of up to 300 yards long or longer to be made. Short ropes are useless on tall ships which require ropes to be long, relatively uniform in diameter, and strong. Short ropes would require splicing to make them long. The strongest form of splicing is the short splice, which doubles the diameter of the rope at the area of the splice. This would cause problems in the rigging hardware such as buckles and pulleys.
Leonardo da Vinci drew sketches of a concept for a ropemaking machine, but just like many other of his inventions, they never got built. Nevertheless, remarkable feats of construction were accomplished without advanced technology: In 1586, Domenico Fontana erected the 327 ton obelisk on Rome's Saint Peter's Square with a concerted effort of 900 men, 75 horses, and countless pulleys and meters of rope. By the late 1700s several working machines had been built and patented.
Rope continued to be made from natural fibers until the 1950s when synthetic fibers such as nylon became popular.
Handling rope
Rope made from hemp, cotton or nylon is generally stored in a cool dry place for proper storage. To prevent kinking it is usually coiled. To prevent fraying or unraveling, the ends of a rope are bound with twine, tape, or heat shrink tubing. The ends of plastic fiber ropes are often melted and fused solid. If a load-bearing rope gets a sharp or sudden jolt or the rope shows signs of deteriorating, it is recommended that the rope be replaced immediately and should be discarded or only used for non-load-bearing tasks.
Line
A piece of rope that has a specific purpose is called a line, especially in nautical usage. Examples include clothesline, chalk line, anchor line, stern line, fishing line etc.

Modern bank robbers
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20012792/
Modern bank robbers taking low-key approach
Despite Hollywood portrayals, criminals are often less violent than thought
MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. - Think of bank robberies and the image that comes to mind is probably a Hollywood version where Depression-era antiheroes like Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow leave with guns blazing.
The modern reality looks a lot more like the low-key work of the “Mad Hatter,” a New Jersey robber who apparently was armed only with a threatening note.
“These days, it’s pretty much pen ablazing on a piece of paper, the guy walking out and nobody knowing, other than the teller,” said Special Agent Steve Siegel, the bank robbery coordinator for the FBI’s Newark office.
Despite security, robbers often are able to get away from banks with their pockets full of cash — though perhaps not as much as you’d think.
The “Mad Hatter” had an impressive run: 18 banks robbed and more than $60,000 taken over nearly a year, according to the FBI.
This past week, James G. Madison, a 50-year-old machinist who was released from prison two years ago after serving nearly 20 years on an aggravated manslaughter conviction, was arrested and charged with one robbery attributed to the “Mad Hatter.” He’s a suspect in the 17 others. He has said in jailhouse interviews that it’s a case of mistaken identity.
Hats in common
The “Mad Hatter” thrived on appearing to be average, a middle-aged man of average height and build who strode into banks quietly. He did not brandish a weapon or even speak. He just handed the tellers notes demanding money, got it and drove away in a Nissan.
The only distinctive thing about him was that he always wore a hat — hence the nickname. Distinctive but not original; two years ago, a man dubbed the “Fishing Hat Bandit” pleaded guilty to 21 bank robberies in Minnesota.
FBI statistics show the Mad Hatter’s M.O. was typical. From 2003 to 2006, about three in five bank robbers delivered their threats by note.
That’s not to say there aren’t any violent, gun-toting bank robbers. In Los Angeles, about one-fifth of robberies are committed by organized gangs that take over an entire branch. In New Jersey, an FBI officer was shot dead by a colleague when a stakeout of a similar gang went awry in April.
But mostly, violence is talked about far more often than it’s used in bank robberies. According to the FBI statistics, half of robbers threatened to use weapons, but only about one in four displayed a gun. Acts of violence are committed in about 5 percent of bank robberies.
In 6,000 to 7,000 bank robberies per year, about 20 people get killed. Most often, it’s the robbers themselves.
Nearly every bank now has surveillance cameras, alarms and other security measures, such as “bait bills” and exploding dye packs, but Siegel said not all of them work efficiently.
‘Bandit barriers’
Alarm systems usually ring at outsourced monitoring services. The monitors call bank executives, who sometimes verify with the bank that there was a robbery before calling police. The lag hurts the chances of getting a robber on his way out of the bank, Siegel said.

Craig R. Barrett (born August 29, 1939) is the Chairman of the Board of the Intel Corporation since May 2005.
Previously, he served as the President of Intel Corporation starting in 1997 and its Chief Executive Officer from 1998 to 2005. He successfully led the corporation through some of its worst times, including the burst of the "dot-com bubble" and a severe recession.
Dr. Barrett was employed by Intel Corporation in 1974 as a manager. He was promoted to vice presidency of the corporation in 1984; to senior vice president in 1987, and executive vice president in 1990. Dr. Barrett was elected to Intel Corporation's Board of Directors in 1992 and was named the company's Chief Operating Officer in 1993. He became Intel's fourth President in May 1997, and Chief Executive Officer in 1998. He became Chairman of the Board in May 2005, when he was replaced as a CEO by Paul Otellini.

They call this guy "Ray" in "Mission To Mars." He was 2359 weeks old on 3/3/1976. As I watching this movie again this morning, I noted he was called "Ray" by Cheadle, who was on Mars and he was singing a birthday greeting to another character. I also remember that cheadle is saying something about how Gary Sinise would be standing there with an expression on his face as though he doesn't really understand what is going on, or something like that, was the impression I got when I watched this movie again on television recently. I recognize the date 1/21/1976 as when I first landed on the planet Mars and 1/23/1976 as when I left Mars for Saturn. I am quite certain I went to see this movie in the theatre when it premiered in 2000.

I assume I was asked by the U.S. Navy if I wanted to select the decommissioning date of the USS Ray and I made the proper calculations to create this detail.

Wish You Were Here is a concept album by Pink Floyd. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios between January and July, 1975 and released on September 15, 1975 (see 1975 in music), the album would later be regarded as one of Pink Floyd's greatest albums. Its lyrics, composed by Roger Waters and concerning the music industry, question the market-oriented record companies' lack of understanding and interest for musicians. The album also pays tribute to Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd's former guitarist and chief songwriter, especially "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", and the title track itself.

Royal Gun Salutes mark special royal occasions. On these days salutes are fired from locations in London and other authorised stations in the United Kingdom and the Union flag is hoisted on government buildings.
In London, salutes are fired in Hyde Park and at The Tower of London however, on State Visits, at the State Opening of Parliament and for The Queen's Birthday Parade, Green Park is used instead of Hyde Park.
The number of rounds fired in a Royal Gun Salute depends on the place and occasion. The basic salute is 21 rounds. In Hyde Park and Green Park an extra 20 rounds are added because they are a Royal Park.
Royal Gun Salutes in Hyde Park:
Salutes are fired by the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery (41 Gun Royal Salute) in Hyde Park at 12.00 noon. They occur on the following Royal anniversaries, however gun salutes are not fired on Sundays, so if the date falls on a Sunday, the salute will take place the next day.
6 February - Accession Day, celebrating Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the throne

The 1976 movie "Midway" is important to the events associated with me intercepting the comet in 1976. There are several clues associated with that movie and I believe it was created and produced to reflect that I was just about at the point of intercepting the comet when the movie premiered in the U.S. and that I was half-way through with my mission to the outer solar system. It was also probably done to represent the notion of '41' for the 41-gun salute, as some kind of connection to my approach to the comet and my work to divert it.

Customer Reviews
This review is from: Midway (Collector's Edition) (DVD)
Charlton Heston is terrific as Captain Matthew Garth, the fictional character in the script, who has to deal with his son (Edward Albert), in love with a Japanese-American girl (Christina Kokubo), who has been interned with her parents. This little bit of "romance" I imagine was included in the film to round out the "human interest", and though I could have lived without this non-historical addition, it is peripheral to the action.

Presumed Dead
Originally aired: Tuesday October 26, 1976 on NBC
Captain Charlie Dobson, a naval flyer, has been shot done and presumed lost at sea. He has actually been picked by the Japanese and put through an intensive brainwashing program. He is taken by submarine to just off Vella La Cava. The Japanese tell him they are planting a val bag on the beach with explosives and timers for him to use at a later time. He is then placed in an inflatable raft at sea near Vella La Cava.
President Ford presented 4 Medals of Honor on 3/4/1976. One was Admiral Stockdale. Another was Thomas R. Norris. The third one was Lance Sijan. This represents something of a death march that started for me after I left Mars as I was heading to the Saturn moon Phoebe for a landing before I intercepted the comet on 7/2/1976. I hit some kind of meteor storm that caused a lot of damage to my Project Orion space ship and I wouldn't have enough oxygen to return to Earth if I continued on my mission as planned. I made the choice to continue to the comet instead of returning to Earth for repairs, which turned out to be the best decision any Earthling has probably ever made.

176 - Remarks on Awarding the Congressional Medal of Honor to Four Members of the Armed Forces.
March 4th, 1976
We are gathered here today to honor four Americans for exceptional military gallantry in the service of our Nation. All four of these men distinguished themselves above and beyond the call of duty. I deeply regret that one of the awards, to the late Captain Lance P. Sijan, of the United States Air Force, is posthumous. The other three, Rear Admiral James P. Stockdale, United States Navy; Colonel George E. Day, United States Air Force; and Lieutenant Thomas R. Norris, United States Naval Reserve, are here with us today.
This is an additional observation I made about the Medal of Honor ceremony dated 3/4/1976 that I think is relevant to me. I find it curious the relationship of these dates I recently found on the internet. The first relationship points to my visit to the planet Mars on 1/21/1976. The second set of dates points to my next stop, which was the Saturn moon Phoebe. The ceremony where U.S. Air Force Captain Lance Sijan was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor was in between my visits to the planet Mars and the Saturn moon Phoebe.

Sijan was probably a real officer of the U.S. military and a Prisoner of War during the Vietnam War, but certain details about him were changed to provide support for protecting my identity, of which there would certainly be a tremendous effort by organized crime to pirate.
I probably knew Sijan, and all the other POW's in Vietnam, because that was one of my assigments. I had some kind of assignment, among my other activities for the United States goverment, for which ever intelligence agency I was assigned, as well as the U.S. Navy, to monitor the status of our people that were captive, as well as to try to get them out, if I could. I spoke the Vietnamese language fluently so I would dye my hair black and sneak into hostile territory to check up on our people. If I was going to be there for a while, I would cut off my hair. One time, though, I wasn't able to for some reason and my lighter colored hair started growing out and it was obvious my hair was dyed black.

USS Bataan (LHD 5)
Commissioned: September 20, 1997
About the Ship’s Name, about the heroic Defense of the Bataan Peninsula:
Just ten short hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th 1941, Japanese planes again surprised US forces with an attack on Clark Field, the main US air base on the Philippine island of Luzon. Subsequent Japanese landings on Luzon took place on December 10th and 12th, and on December 22, after two weeks of diversionary tactics, a large Japanese invasion force landed at Lingayen Gulf.

General David Monroe Shoup (30 December 1904 - 13 January 1983) was a World War II Medal of Honor recipient and the twenty-second Commandant of the United States Marine Corps (January 1, 1960–December 31, 1963).
The President of the United States takes pride in presenting the MEDAL OF HONOR to
COLONEL DAVID M. SHOUP
UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS
for service as set forth in the following CITATION:
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as commanding officer of all Marine Corps troops in action against enemy Japanese forces on Betio Island, Tarawa Atoll, Gilbert Islands, from 20 to 22 November 1943. Although severely shocked by an exploding enemy shell soon after landing at the pier and suffering from a serious, painful leg wound which had become infected, Col. Shoup fearlessly exposed himself to the terrific and relentless artillery, machinegun, and rifle fire from hostile shore emplacements. Rallying his hesitant troops by his own inspiring heroism, he gallantly led them across the fringing reefs to charge the heavily fortified island and reinforce our hard-pressed, thinly held lines. Upon arrival on shore, he assumed command of all landed troops and, working without rest under constant, withering enemy fire during the next 2 days, conducted smashing attacks against unbelievably strong and fanatically defended Japanese positions despite innumerable obstacles and heavy casualties. By his brilliant leadership daring tactics, and selfless devotion to duty, Col. Shoup was largely responsible for the final decisive defeat of the enemy, and his indomitable fighting spirit reflects great credit upon the U.S. Naval Service.
The 12/8/76 release date for the album "Hotel California" was 5 days, 9 months, after 3/3/1976, my 17th birthday. I would spend my entire 17th year in deep space. The single "Hotel California" released on 2/22/1977. I think this song has something to do with me approaching the comet and then going on to the Jupiter moon Callisto, where my oxygen would run out. I think about the lyrics of "mission bell" has something to do with an alert that sounded when I was receiving a communication from Earth. The part about the candle makes me think of beginning to see the comet far off in the distance. The part about the smell of the colitas makes me think of where we stored all the rope on the USS Taylor. There is also the part about the "night watchman" which is probably something about the mission control back on Earth, which would have been manned 24 hours a day while I was in space.

They call this guy "Ray" in "Mission To Mars." He was 2359 weeks old on 3/3/1976. As I watching this movie again this morning, I noted he was called "Ray" by Cheadle, who was on Mars and he was singing a birthday greeting to another character. I also remember that cheadle is saying something about how Gary Sinise would be standing there with an expression on his face as though he doesn't really understand what is going on, or something like that, was the impression I got when I watched this movie again on television recently. I recognize the date 1/21/1976 as when I first landed on the planet Mars and 1/23/1976 as when I left Mars for Saturn. I am quite certain I went to see this movie in the theatre when it premiered in 2000.

Wish You Were Here is a concept album by Pink Floyd. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios between January and July, 1975 and released on September 15, 1975 (see 1975 in music), the album would later be regarded as one of Pink Floyd's greatest albums. Its lyrics, composed by Roger Waters and concerning the music industry, question the market-oriented record companies' lack of understanding and interest for musicians. The album also pays tribute to Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd's former guitarist and chief songwriter, especially "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", and the title track itself.

Royal Gun Salutes mark special royal occasions. On these days salutes are fired from locations in London and other authorised stations in the United Kingdom and the Union flag is hoisted on government buildings.
In London, salutes are fired in Hyde Park and at The Tower of London however, on State Visits, at the State Opening of Parliament and for The Queen's Birthday Parade, Green Park is used instead of Hyde Park.
The number of rounds fired in a Royal Gun Salute depends on the place and occasion. The basic salute is 21 rounds. In Hyde Park and Green Park an extra 20 rounds are added because they are a Royal Park.
Royal Gun Salutes in Hyde Park:
Salutes are fired by the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery (41 Gun Royal Salute) in Hyde Park at 12.00 noon. They occur on the following Royal anniversaries, however gun salutes are not fired on Sundays, so if the date falls on a Sunday, the salute will take place the next day.
6 February - Accession Day, celebrating Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the throne

The 1976 movie "Midway" is important to the events associated with me intercepting the comet in 1976. There are several clues associated with that movie and I believe it was created and produced to reflect that I was just about at the point of intercepting the comet when the movie premiered in the U.S. and that I was half-way through with my mission to the outer solar system. It was also probably done to represent the notion of '41' for the 41-gun salute, as some kind of connection to my approach to the comet and my work to divert it.

Ens. Thomas Garth: There's nothing to talk about, sir. You had your old pal Jessop ship me out before I could do something stupid; like trying to help the girl I love. Look, if you couldn't help, why couldn't you just leave it alone?
Captain Garth: I did all I could! A *hell* of a lot more than I *should* have!

Customer Reviews
This review is from: Midway (Collector's Edition) (DVD)
Charlton Heston is terrific as Captain Matthew Garth, the fictional character in the script, who has to deal with his son (Edward Albert), in love with a Japanese-American girl (Christina Kokubo), who has been interned with her parents. This little bit of "romance" I imagine was included in the film to round out the "human interest", and though I could have lived without this non-historical addition, it is peripheral to the action.

Originally aired: Tuesday October 26, 1976 on NBC
Captain Charlie Dobson, a naval flyer, has been shot done and presumed lost at sea. He has actually been picked by the Japanese and put through an intensive brainwashing program. He is taken by submarine to just off Vella La Cava. The Japanese tell him they are planting a val bag on the beach with explosives and timers for him to use at a later time. He is then placed in an inflatable raft at sea near Vella La Cava.
President Ford presented 4 Medals of Honor on 3/4/1976. One was Admiral Stockdale. Another was Thomas R. Norris. The third one was Lance Sijan. This represents something of a death march that started for me after I left Mars as I was heading to the Saturn moon Phoebe for a landing before I intercepted the comet on 7/2/1976. I hit some kind of meteor storm that caused a lot of damage to my Project Orion space ship and I wouldn't have enough oxygen to return to Earth if I continued on my mission as planned. I made the choice to continue to the comet instead of returning to Earth for repairs, which turned out to be the best decision any Earthling has probably ever made.

176 - Remarks on Awarding the Congressional Medal of Honor to Four Members of the Armed Forces.
March 4th, 1976
We are gathered here today to honor four Americans for exceptional military gallantry in the service of our Nation. All four of these men distinguished themselves above and beyond the call of duty. I deeply regret that one of the awards, to the late Captain Lance P. Sijan, of the United States Air Force, is posthumous. The other three, Rear Admiral James P. Stockdale, United States Navy; Colonel George E. Day, United States Air Force; and Lieutenant Thomas R. Norris, United States Naval Reserve, are here with us today.
This is an additional observation I made about the Medal of Honor ceremony dated 3/4/1976 that I think is relevant to me. I find it curious the relationship of these dates I recently found on the internet. The first relationship points to my visit to the planet Mars on 1/21/1976. The second set of dates points to my next stop, which was the Saturn moon Phoebe. The ceremony where U.S. Air Force Captain Lance Sijan was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor was in between my visits to the planet Mars and the Saturn moon Phoebe.

Sijan was probably a real officer of the U.S. military and a Prisoner of War during the Vietnam War, but certain details about him were changed to provide support for protecting my identity, of which there would certainly be a tremendous effort by organized crime to pirate.
I probably knew Sijan, and all the other POW's in Vietnam, because that was one of my assigments. I had some kind of assignment, among my other activities for the United States goverment, for which ever intelligence agency I was assigned, as well as the U.S. Navy, to monitor the status of our people that were captive, as well as to try to get them out, if I could. I spoke the Vietnamese language fluently so I would dye my hair black and sneak into hostile territory to check up on our people. If I was going to be there for a while, I would cut off my hair. One time, though, I wasn't able to for some reason and my lighter colored hair started growing out and it was obvious my hair was dyed black.

About the Ship’s Name, about the heroic Defense of the Bataan Peninsula:
Just ten short hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th 1941, Japanese planes again surprised US forces with an attack on Clark Field, the main US air base on the Philippine island of Luzon. Subsequent Japanese landings on Luzon took place on December 10th and 12th, and on December 22, after two weeks of diversionary tactics, a large Japanese invasion force landed at Lingayen Gulf. Japanese General Masaharu Homma, with a contingent of 80 ships and 43,000 troops, waded ashore through both a typhoon and the resistance of US trained Philippine reservists. Homma landed tanks and artillery later that day and began advancing south toward Manila despite the valiant resistance of Major General Jonathan Wainwright's Philippine Scouts.

The actor who voiced "Lisa Simpson's" future husband, in the episode I referred to recently as it relates to Phoebe and me, was 34 years, 5 months, 9 days, old on 5/9/1987, which was 4 days before 5/13/1987. Patinkin was probably cast for that role because that was as close as I could get to a '34-59' artistic device with 5/13/1987.
It's odd - I always thought that was a Hugh Grant voice-over.
The 5/9/1987 date also makes me think of how I found on the internet that Mimi Rogers and Tom Cruise were married on that date and I started wondering if I had actually been married to her before that and they thought I was dead. That notion was supported by George Clooney's "O Brother Where Art Thou" where he was trying to get back to his wife before she re-married while he was in prison for "practicing law without a license," which is probably a play on something the Libyans were saying to me when I was a Prisoner of War in 1986. I thought of that notion also when I read that Lindsay Lohan's dad was in prison for securities fraud, and that reminded me of that scene from "Iron Eagle" where "Colonel Masters" was telling his captors that the trial was a fraud. After reading about that Alabama governor, I have to wonder what really happened with Micheal Lohan and whether that was something I created or whether he was persecuted because of the criminals working to pirate my identity, of which there is tremendous commercial value.
So anyway, I think that Tom Cruise, with his "Top Gun" and "A Few Good Men," as well as actors Bruce Willis and Will Smith, are cast in near-literal portrayals of my real identity. When I pondered over the theory Mimi Rogers and I had been married, I considered such details as a scene in "Lost In Space," which I think I had just seen on television, where she comments that she thought her husband would have made it back. That theory was supported by the scar above "Major West's" eye in that movie and I have noted details that suggest that movie does have a connection with the period I was lost in Africa, which was suspicously almost exactly 10 years after the time I was in space to divert the comet. There were some other observations I wanted to note here related to this topic but then the train of thought escaped me.

I was 59 months, 3 days, old on 2/6/1964. That was also during the 1964 Winter Olympics at Innsbruck.
I haven't sat down and watched this whole movie, but I think it has some bearing on my experiences in Africa in 1986 and 1987, although only in the general sense that I was involved in a conflict and was trying to save some people. I don't really know what it means. I wonder about that wound above his eye though, as I have a very noticable scar over my eye that I think occurred in Africa. I think someone made a deep incision with a knife above my eye and I probably thought my eye had been cut out of the socket. I probably had to wear an eye patch for a while as a bandage that covered my eye. In the context of my artificial and symbolic memory, Thedia told me that the scar was from a time I was trying to crawl out, to escape in effect, of a window and the laudromat when I was a young child. She said I was crawling through a window in a brick wall and I cut my eye on one of the bricks, which is kind of hard to reconcile as I don't see how such a precise scar could be created from the edge of a brick, as I would expect the cut to be more jagged. I also have an artificial and symbolic memory of a kid we called "Frazy" being shot with a BB-gun, which left him with a similar cut above the eye as I have.

This was the first episode Ashley Judd was in, as I noticed when I was reviewing it the other day. I also noted this episode, considering the content, might have been scheduled to point to when I returned home after being missing in Africa. I assume this episode represents some kind of conflict I was involved as I was escaping from the Libyans and when I was trying to communicate with locals. I'm not sure if there is a reason this was Ashley Judd's first of two episodes other than for the specific identifying information I noted about her, relevant to me.

Darmok
First aired: 30 September 1991
Picard is captured, then trapped on a planet with an alien captain who speaks a metaphorical language incompatible with the universal translator. They must learn to communicate with each other before the beast of the planet overwhelms them.
When I was reading a year or two ago about that episode, just after I began unloading my artificial and symbolic memory, it made me think of Tanzania and Turkana.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanzanian
Tanzania officially the United Republic of Tanzania (Swahili: Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania), is a country in East Africa. It is bordered by Kenya and Uganda on the north, Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the west, and Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique on the south. To the east it borders the Indian Ocean.
The country is named after Tanganyika, its mainland part, and the Zanzibar islands off its east coast. Tanganyika united with Zanzibar in 1964, forming the "United Republic of Tanganyika and Zanzibar", which later the same year was renamed the "United Republic of Tanzania".[3]
In 1996, government offices were transferred from Dar es Salaam to Dodoma, making Dodoma the country's political capital. Dar es Salaam remains as the principal commercial city.[3][4]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkana_District
Turkana District is an administrative district in the Rift Valley Province of Kenya. Turkana is the northwesternmost district in Kenya. It has an international border with three countries: Uganda, Sudan and Ethiopia. Its neighbouring districts in Kenya are West Pokot, Baringo, and Samburu Districts, while Marsabit District is located on the other (i.e. eastern) shore of Lake Turkana.
Yar <<< >>> Ray
Her character was killed off in the episode that aired a few days after the USS Samuel B. Roberts FFG-58 struck an anti-ship mine in the Persian Gulf. We probably did that to make the Microsoft-Corbis-sponsored insurrectionists think they had killed me. Although, that episode was probably created to represent when I was shot down by anti-aircraft fire on 2/14/1986 and was a Prisoner of War. I feel that episode was moved ahead of the planned premiere date in response to the hit on the FFG-58, which I believe also occurred because I was onboard. The FFG-31 was struck precisely 333 days after the Stark had been hit. I have been thinking that I was on the FFG-31 when it hit the mine because that was my first deployment after recovering from my escape across Africa on 5/13/1987, which had actually ended with the missile strike on the Stark. I have been thinking I was onboard the FFG-31 as the leader of a team of U.S. Navy SEAL's because the FFG-31 had been commissioned right around the time of the air strike that broke me out of that Libyan prison. The ship had actually been commissioned for another reason relative to my activities in space in the 60's. At this time in 1988, I believe I was still a U.S. Navy Lieutenant.
I noted that the Windows XP standard desktop background looks a lot like the funeral service scene for "Tasha Yar" in that episode. The Windows XP product released when I was working undercover at Microsoft. The general availability date for Windows XP that I found on the internet was 34.59 months after 12/7/1998.
This episode was probably about me getting shot down over Africa in 1986, which the downed "shuttle" represents, along with "Troi's" captivity.
http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Natasha_Yar
Lieutenant Natasha Yar, better known as Tasha, was a Human Starfleet officer born on Turkana IV, and former security chief on the USS Enterprise-D. Unfortunately, Tasha was killed not even a year into the Enterprise's mission. She was fondly remembered by the Enterprise crew, and an alternate timeline version of Tasha indirectly played a very important role in Romulan politics.
http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Denise_Crosby
Denise Michelle Crosby (born 24 November 1957; age 49) is the actress best known for playing Lt. Tasha Yar during the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Although leaving before the end of the season, she would return to the role in later episodes and would also play Sela, the Romulan daughter of Yar from an alternate timeline.
Born in Hollywood, California, Crosby appeared to be destined for showbusiness. She is the granddaughter of famous crooner and actor Bing Crosby, the daughter of actor and singer Dennis Crosby, and the ex-daughter-in-law of director Blake Edwards. Crosby even began her acting career with a small role in her then-father-in-law's hit romantic comedy 10 (with John Hancock, Michael Champion, Jeanetta Arnette and William Lucking) in 1979. She also appeared in two of Edwards' Pink Panther films, Trail of the Pink Panther in 1982 and Curse of the Pink Panther in 1983. Also in 1983, she appeared in Edwards' The Man Who Loved Women.

Skin of Evil
The crew encounters an entity of pure evil, costing them the life of a dear comrade.
First aired: 25 April 1988
The away team discovers an odd tar-like lifeform that, trying to entertain itself, strikes down Yar. She is beamed directly to sickbay in a desperate attempt to save her, but she dies. They beam back down to the planet and try to negotiate with the evil skin. The thing takes Riker and pulls him into the pool of itself.
Deanna learns while talking to the creature that its name is Armus, and she also learns that it was abandoned by someone. When it thinks of its desertion, it becomes very angry with an unfocused anger.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard beams down to the planet and after getting Armus to release Riker, orders everyone to beam back to the ship. Armus allows Picard to enter the crashed shuttle to see Deanna, and Picard tells her that he has a plan.
Armus takes Picard out of the ship and talks to him some more. Picard deliberately makes Armus angry by speaking to it – as Deanna said to do – about its desertion. The unfocused anger that Armus feels allows Worf and Wesley Crusher to beam Troi, Riker, and Picard out and onto the ship.
After out of harm's way, the crew of the Enterprise mourn the loss of Natasha Yar, and watch a hologram that she had made to be watched after her death.

Ensign Robin Lefler
Played by Ashley Judd
Episode: TNG 206 - The Game
Starfleet engineer serving aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D in 2368, and the compiler of Lefler's Laws. Both her parents served in Starfleet. Lefler had a brief romance with Wesley Crusher, and was instrumental with Crusher in preventing the Enterprise crew from falling prey to an addictive computer game.

The Game
Production: 206
Season: 5 Episode: 6
Air Date: 10.28.1991
Stardate: 45208.2
http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Robin_Lefler
Robin Lefler was a Human Starfleet Ensign who was stationed on the USS Enterprise-D in 2368 and became close with Wesley Crusher. Her parents were exobiologists and moved around very often, so Lefler could neither call a place 'home' nor develop friendships, claiming her first friend had been a tricorder.
Lefler served as mission specialist for a mission exploring the Phoenix Cluster. She had a brief romance with Wesley, and she and Wesley foiled a plot by the Ktarians to take over the Enterprise (and subsequently, Starfleet), using an addictive game to get control over the crew. (TNG: "The Game").
Robin Lefler was played by Ashley Judd. Lefler is also featured in the Star Trek: New Frontier series of novels.
In April 2002, ZENtertainment (a now-defunct Hollywood news source) reported "Ashley Judd was on Letterman the other night to promote her new movie, High Crimes. Dave surprised her with a clip of her appearance on TNG, where she went on a date with Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton). Judd mentioned that she was reprising the role (of Robin Lefler) in Star Trek Nemesis as Wesley's wife." [1] [2]
This was also reported by About Sci-Fi, which added to the report "... Wil Wheaton, however, says he's heard nothing about that. Somehow, I'm not surprised Wesley doesn't know he’s married."
Later on, "Judd's spokesperson denied this cameo appearance." [3]
In August 2002, Wil Wheaton found out, and reported, that his scene had been cut from Star Trek Nemesis. There was no mention (by him) about Judd or Lefler.
It's odd - I always thought that was a Hugh Grant voice-over.

Skin of Evil
The crew encounters an entity of pure evil, costing them the life of a dear comrade.
First aired: 25 April 1988
The away team discovers an odd tar-like lifeform that, trying to entertain itself, strikes down Yar. She is beamed directly to sickbay in a desperate attempt to save her, but she dies. They beam back down to the planet and try to negotiate with the evil skin. The thing takes Riker and pulls him into the pool of itself.
Deanna learns while talking to the creature that its name is Armus, and she also learns that it was abandoned by someone. When it thinks of its desertion, it becomes very angry with an unfocused anger.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard beams down to the planet and after getting Armus to release Riker, orders everyone to beam back to the ship. Armus allows Picard to enter the crashed shuttle to see Deanna, and Picard tells her that he has a plan.
Armus takes Picard out of the ship and talks to him some more. Picard deliberately makes Armus angry by speaking to it – as Deanna said to do – about its desertion. The unfocused anger that Armus feels allows Worf and Wesley Crusher to beam Troi, Riker, and Picard out and onto the ship.
After out of harm's way, the crew of the Enterprise mourn the loss of Natasha Yar, and watch a hologram that she had made to be watched after her death.

Ensign Robin Lefler
Played by Ashley Judd
Episode: TNG 206 - The Game
Starfleet engineer serving aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D in 2368, and the compiler of Lefler's Laws. Both her parents served in Starfleet. Lefler had a brief romance with Wesley Crusher, and was instrumental with Crusher in preventing the Enterprise crew from falling prey to an addictive computer game.

The Game
Production: 206
Season: 5 Episode: 6
Air Date: 10.28.1991
Stardate: 45208.2
http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Robin_Lefler
Robin Lefler was a Human Starfleet Ensign who was stationed on the USS Enterprise-D in 2368 and became close with Wesley Crusher. Her parents were exobiologists and moved around very often, so Lefler could neither call a place 'home' nor develop friendships, claiming her first friend had been a tricorder.
Lefler served as mission specialist for a mission exploring the Phoenix Cluster. She had a brief romance with Wesley, and she and Wesley foiled a plot by the Ktarians to take over the Enterprise (and subsequently, Starfleet), using an addictive game to get control over the crew. (TNG: "The Game").
Robin Lefler was played by Ashley Judd. Lefler is also featured in the Star Trek: New Frontier series of novels.
In April 2002, ZENtertainment (a now-defunct Hollywood news source) reported "Ashley Judd was on Letterman the other night to promote her new movie, High Crimes. Dave surprised her with a clip of her appearance on TNG, where she went on a date with Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton). Judd mentioned that she was reprising the role (of Robin Lefler) in Star Trek Nemesis as Wesley's wife." [1] [2]
This was also reported by About Sci-Fi, which added to the report "... Wil Wheaton, however, says he's heard nothing about that. Somehow, I'm not surprised Wesley doesn't know he’s married."
Later on, "Judd's spokesperson denied this cameo appearance." [3]
In August 2002, Wil Wheaton found out, and reported, that his scene had been cut from Star Trek Nemesis. There was no mention (by him) about Judd or Lefler.
Roe
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_of_engagement
In military or police operations, the rules of engagement (ROE) determine when, where, and how force shall be used. Such rules are both general and specific, and there have been large variations between cultures throughout history. The rules may be made public, as in a martial law or curfew situation, but are typically only fully known to the force that intends to use them.
U.S. Military ROE
The 1999 Marine Corps Close Combat Manual (MCRP 3-02B) presents a “Continuum of Force” the following breakdown:
Level 1: Compliant (Cooperative). The subject responds and complies to verbal commands. Close combat techniques do not apply.
Level 2: Resistant (Passive). The subject resists verbal commands but complies immediately to any contact controls. Close combat techniques do not apply.
Level 3: Resistant (Active). The subject initially demonstrates physical resistance. Use compliance techniques to control the situation. Level three incorporates close combat techniques to physically force a subject to comply. Techniques include: Come-along holds, Soft-handed stunning blows, Pain compliance through the use of joint manipulation and the use of pressure points.
Level 4: Assaultive (Bodily Harm). The subject may physically attack, but does not use a weapon. Use defensive tactics to neutralize the threat. Defensive tactics include: Blocks, Strikes, Kicks, Enhanced pain compliance procedures, Impact weapon blocks and blows.
Level 5: Assaultive (Lethal Force). The subject usually has a weapon and will either kill or injure someone if he is not stopped immediately and brought under control. The subject must be controlled by the use of deadly force with or without a firearm or weapon.

"Lisa's Wedding"
This ship with the Royal Navy was commissioned on a date that might point back to my 17th birthday. I have made some other observations about that date and I think it had something to do with how we thought my mission to divert the comet had turned into a one-way trip because I hit a meteor storm after leaving the planet Mars and lost a lot of oxygen. I pressed on to my objective and successfully diverted the comet in July 1976 and went from there to the Jupiter moon Callisto where I found a source of oxygen.

Richard Nixon
37th President of the United States
In office
January 20, 1969 – August 9, 1974
Richard Milhous Nixon (January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) was the thirty-seventh President of the United States, serving from 1969 to 1974, and the thirty-sixth Vice President of the United States in the administration of Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953–1961). During the Second World War, he served as a Navy lieutenant commander in the Pacific, before being elected to the Congress, and later serving as Vice President. After an unsuccessful presidential run in 1960, Nixon was elected in 1968.
Under President Nixon, the United States followed a foreign policy marked by détente with the Soviet Union and by the opening of diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China. His centrist domestic policies combined conservative rhetoric and liberal action in civil rights, environmental and economic initiatives. As a result of the Watergate scandal, Nixon resigned the presidency in the face of likely impeachment by the United States House of Representatives. His successor, Gerald Ford, issued a controversial pardon for any federal crimes Nixon may have committed. Nixon is the only person elected twice each to the offices of both vice president and president. He is also the only President of the United States to have resigned from the office.
From 7/24/1969 to 6/17/1972 is: 34 months, 3 weeks, 3 days
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergate_scandal
Watergate is a general term for a series of political scandals, which began with the arrest of five men who broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Washington D.C. office/apartment complex and hotel called the Watergate on June 17, 1972. The attempted cover-up of the break-in ultimately led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Investigations conducted by the FBI, Senate Watergate Committee, House Judiciary Committee and the Press revealed that this burglary was just one of many illegal activities authorized and carried out by Nixon's staff. They also revealed the immense scope of crimes and abuses, which included campaign fraud, political espionage and sabotage, illegal break-ins, wiretapping on a massive scale, including the wiretapping of the press and regular citizens, and a secret money fund laundered in Mexico to pay those who conducted these operations. [1] This secret fund was also used as hush money to buy silence of the seven men who were indicted for the June 17 break-in. [2] President Nixon and his staff conspired to cover up the break-in as early as six days after it occurred. [3] After enduring two years of mounting evidence against the President and his staff, which included former staff members testifying against them in a Senate investigation, [4] it was revealed that Nixon had a tape recording system in his offices and that he had recorded many conversations.[5] Undeniable evidence, spoken by Nixon himself and recorded on tape, revealed that he had obstructed justice and attempted to cover up the break-in. [3] [6] This recorded conversation later became known as the Smoking Gun. After a series of court battles, the United States Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the President must hand over the tapes; he ultimately complied. With certainty of an impeachment in the House of Representatives and of a conviction in the Senate, [7] [8] Nixon resigned ten days later, becoming the only US President to have resigned from office.
On June 17, 1972, Frank Wills, a security guard at the Watergate Complex, noticed tape covering the locks on several doors in the complex. He called the police and within minutes, five men were arrested inside the Democratic National Committee's office. [9] The five men were Virgilio González, Bernard Barker, James W. McCord, Jr., Eugenio MartÃnez and Frank Sturgis. The five were charged with attempted burglary and attempted interception of telephone and other communications. On September 15, a grand jury indicted them and two other men for conspiracy, burglary and violation of federal wiretapping laws. The two others were: E. Howard Hunt, Jr. and Gordon Liddy.[1] In March 1973, James McCord wrote a letter to Judge John J. Sirica charging a massive cover up of the burglary. His letter transformed the affair into a political scandal of unprecedented magnitude
The scandal revealed the existence of a White House dirty tricks squad, which was behind an orchestrated campaign of political sabotage, an enemies list (the Nixon's Enemies List), a "plumbers" unit to plug political leaks and a secret campaign slush fund associated with the Committee to Re-elect the President (CRP), all with high-level administration involvement. It brought into the open the involvement of the Attorney General, John N. Mitchell, in the dirty tricks, funds and cover-up, as well as key White House advisers, all of whom went to prison for these crimes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergate_burglaries
The Watergate burglaries, which took place on May 28 and June 17, 1972, have been cited in testimony, media accounts, and popular works on Watergate as the pivotal event that led ultimately to the Watergate Scandal. Five men who were apprehended inside the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters in the Watergate building during the second burglary implicated themselves on other counts and charges by voluntarily telling investigators about having committed a "first break-in." Congressional and law enforcement investigations into the first break-in relied entirely on the testimony of the conspirators because there was no physical evidence of a first break-in, and there were no independent witnesses to the event.
Physical evidence that might or might not have corroborated the testimony was destroyed by a number of people involved in and peripheral to first break-in, including G. Gordon Liddy, Jeb Magruder, John Dean, and the acting head of the FBI at the time, L. Patrick Gray, who resigned after his admission of destruction of evidence that had been taken from the safe of E. Howard Hunt.
As a result, the only information available concerning the first break-in is contained in the sworn testimony and anecdotal accounts of the participants themselves.
As Senator Howard Baker reflected during congressional Watergate inquiries, the available testimony and accounts are "in conflict and in corroboration."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11
Launch: July 16, 1969
Lunar landing: July 20, 1969
Landing: July 24, 1969
The Apollo 11 mission was the first manned mission to land on the Moon. It was the fifth human spaceflight of the Apollo programs, and the third human voyage to the moon. Launched on July 16, 1969, it carried Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin. On July 20, Armstrong and Aldrin became the first humans to land on the Moon, while Collins orbited above.
The mission fulfilled President John F. Kennedy's goal of reaching the moon by the end of the 1960s. In a 1961 speech he had proposed - "I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the earth".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STS-1
The first Space Shuttle mission, STS-1, was launched April 12, 1981, and returned April 14. Space Shuttle Columbia orbited the earth 36 times in this 54.5-hour mission. It was the first US manned space flight since the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in July 15, 1975.
Mission anomalies
STS-1 was the first test flight of what was, at the time, probably the most complex spacecraft ever built. Unsurprisingly, there were numerous problems – 'anomalies' in NASA parlance – on the flight, as many systems could not be adequately tested on the ground or independently. Some of the more serious or interesting were:
During reentry, a protruding tile gap filler ducted hot gas into the right main landing gear well, which caused significant damage including buckling of the landing gear door.[1] Also, a tile next to the right-hand External Tank (ET) door on the underside of the shuttle was incorrectly installed, leading to excessive re-entry heating and melting of part of the ET door latch.
Inspection by astronauts while in orbit showed significant damage to the thermal protection tiles on the OMS/RCS pods at the orbiter aft end, and John Young reported that two tiles on the nose looked like someone took 'big bites out of them'.[2] Post-flight inspection of Columbia's heat shield revealed that an overpressure wave from the Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) ignition resulted in the loss of 16 tiles and damage to 148 others.
The same overpressure wave pushed the body flap below the main engines at the rear of the shuttle well past the point where damage to the hydraulic system would be expected, which would have made a safe re-entry impossible. The crew were unaware of this until after the flight, and John Young reportedly said that if they had been aware of the potential damage at the time, they would have flown the shuttle up to a safe altitude and ejected. Columbia would have been lost on the first flight.[3]
Bob Crippen reported that all through the first stage of the launch up to SRB separation, he saw 'white stuff' coming off the External Tank and splattering the windows, which was probably ET foam.[4]
The toilet suffered from 'low urinal flow and a feces separation problem'.
Columbia's aerodynamics at high Mach number were found to differ significantly in some respects from those estimated in pre-flight testing. A misprediction of the location of the center of pressure caused the computer to extend the body flap by sixteen degrees rather than the expected eight or nine, and side-slip during the first bank reversal maneuver was twice as high as predicted.[5]
For a more complete list, see the STS-1 Anomaly Report, the source for most of the anomalies listed above.
Despite these problems, STS-1 was a successful test, and in most respects Columbia came through with flying colors. After some modifications to the shuttle and to the launch and re-entry procedures, Columbia would fly the next four Shuttle missions.
"Rio"
I keep puzzling over a visual memory I have of being at Stampede Pass on a nearby mountain. I can still see myself being up there. I remember that I studied Stampede Pass a lot on the map, for some reason, before I moved out here in 1998. But the puzzling part is that I cannot remember how I got up there. I can visualize being there, but I cannot remember what I drove up there and it is very puzzling. After Microsoft approached me in 1998 to work for them, at a point after my real memories had been suppressed and I found myself needing employment, and then transported me out here for the job, they also transported a burgundy Buick car I had bought earlier for about $600. I can't remember the model of that Buick but I remember it was rather beat up and the company that transported it made a lot of notations about the dents and dings in the body of the car. So I am quite certain I did not drive that car up those gravel roads to that mountain pass. After Microsoft transported me out here across many states from South Carolina, my Buick didn't arrive for a while, so they gave me a rental car to use until the movers got my Buick to me. When I flew in to Seattle on the flight Microsoft arranged for me, the rental company that Microsoft uses told me something about how they didn't have a car available for me and asked if I would take a Dodge Caravan van that was available and I did take the van. But I am quite certain I did not drive that van up there because I only had it for the first month, from about 12/5/1998 to 1/5/1998, give or take a day or two, and when I visualize being up there at Stampede Pass, it was definitely not winter. So how did I get up there? I definitely did not drive up there in my Jeep Wrangler. After my Buick, I bought a blue 1990 Mazda RX-7 and I definitely did not drive that up there. So I can't figure out how I got up there because I just cannot visualize the automobile I was in. I have been thinking this is a real memory trying to return to my consciousness but I cannot reconcile it with my artificial and symbolic memory. I want to say that I drove up there in my 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in terms of my artificial and symbolic memory, that would have been impossible. I have puzzled over other details such as this before and then seemed to have started to remember my real life, such as a detail about the USS Stark FFG-31 that I later understood could not have happened as I distinctly remember it happening. So this memory about Stampede Pass is something similar but yet, I still don't have it figured out.
What an incredibly lonely photo. I don't know which one was taken first, but the premiere dates for that movie suggest they were taken around the same time. I have also puzzled over my expression in that photo for a long time and then I puzzled over why I was puzzling over my expression in that photo. I also pondered over how she is wearing that silver bracelet and I have on that silver identification band that all the racers wore during the event.

De-Lovely is a 2004 film that chronicles the life of songwriter Cole Porter. Directed by Irwin Winkler, the film stars Kevin Kline and Ashley Judd.
The film is made up as a rehearsal of a musical telling the famous composer's life and takes place on a musical stage as well as in several locations of his life; it focuses especially on Porter's love life and his bisexuality yet controversially suggests that the real love of his life was his wife.
I don't know which one of these premiere's that photo of Phoebe was taken at, if any of them. That photo could be from last year, for all I know.

Phoebe turned 7 years old on 7/16/1970 and I was 11 years old at that time, which is when I think I chose her to become a princess in my family royal house. I planned certain aspects of our relationship so that she could demonstrate that we had a mutual attraction, which was always confirmed. All the art I created was to represent just how good she has been to me all these years of our relationship.

USS Cole (DDG 67)
Commissioned: June 8, 1996
To produce that commissioning date for the USS Cole DDG-67, which I assume the U.S. Navy asked me to create, I would have used the following calculation, using two known dates:
The date 7/16/1963 is my wife's birth date and I recognize the date 6/7/1976 as when I first landed on the Saturn moon Phoebe. This calculation uses my '34-59' artistic device to identify my work.
From 7/16/1963 to 6/7/1976 is: 4710 days
4710 divided by 0.3459 = 13,616 days
Those ships are normally commissioned on a Saturday, so that would have been a constraint on the date that was used.
From 3/3/1959, the date 6/12/1996 was 13,616 days later and was a Wednesday. That meant I could select Saturday, 6/8/1996, or Saturday, 6/15/1996, as a commissioning date that would meet the criteria of pointing back to 6/7/1996. I probably chose Saturday, 6/8/1996 because that was one of the days I was actually on the surface of the Saturn moon Phoebe in 1976. I recognize the dates 6/7/1976, 6/8/1976, 6/9/1976, as the time period I was on the surface of the Saturn moon Phoebe.
From 3/3/1959 to 6/8/1996 (Saturday) is: 13612 days
I don't know precisely why this is but the commissioning of USS Porter DDG-78 points to my first landing on the planet Mars. The Porter was commissioned on 3/20/1999 and I recognize 4/30/1982 as my commissioning date from the U.S. Naval Academy. I recognize the date 1/21/1976 as when I first landed on the planet Mars. My first year at the Academy would have been 1978. I am thinking there is a specific reason this particular hull was named Porter and scheduled to point to my landing on the planet Mars, but I don't yet remember what is that reason.
There is also the notion that I don't actually remember any of this in the conventional sense. These are just thoughts that are in my mind that I cannot explain where they come from. I have also been thinking that they - whoever 'they' are positioning people around me that I should definitely recognize but they see me and they see that I do not recognize them. I feel certain that at some point in the future, I am going to be able to tell them precisely when I saw them even though I do not recognize them today or in the past.

Patrick Stewart OBE (born July 13, 1940) is an Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated English film, television and stage actor. He is also Chancellor of the University of Huddersfield.[1] Stewart has had a distinguished career in theatre for nearly fifty years, including performances as various characters in Shakespearean productions. However, he is most famous for his roles as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation, and as Professor Xavier in the X-Men film franchise.
Stewart was born in Mirfield, West Yorkshire, England to Gladys, a weaver and textile worker, and Alfred Stewart, a Regimental Sergeant Major in the British Army.
The HMS Sheffield was commissioned 34.59 years after the birth date listed for Patrick Stewart. The distance from Mirfield to Sheffield is about 30 miles.

HMS Sheffield (D80) was the second Royal Navy ship to bear the name Sheffield, after the city of Sheffield in Yorkshire. She was a Type 42 Guided Missile Destroyer laid down by Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering at Barrow-in-Furness on 15 January 1970, launched on 10 June 1971 and commissioned on 16 February 1975.
The ship was part of the Task Force sent to the Falkland Islands during the Falklands War. She was struck by an Exocet cruise missile fired by a French-made Dassault Super Étendard belonging to the Argentine Navy on 4 May 1982 and finally scuttled on the 10 May 1982.

Some other work I was reviewing again:
As I was just watching this movie, I have symbolic memories from this movie. The part that is just about to come on where the guy gets his head blown off. I can distinctly remember on the Wainwright that I put one of my dog tags on my boot. I associate that detail with this movie. Why would I have such a specific artificial and symbolic memory in that context? Why, in my artificial and symbolic memory, would I "remember" a certain action based on watching a movie in the context of my artificial and symbolic memory? In my artificial and symbolic memory, I put that dog tag on my boot because I "remember" watching this movie in my artificial and symbolic memory. That has got to mean something; probably that I fought in this Vietnam battle. And even worse, it was only a few weeks before Apollo 11 went to the Earth's moon. I have other memories returning to consciousness about Vietnam but I am not really sure what it all means.
I assume I had some kind of creative input into the movie before I was shot down by anti-aircraft fire on 2/14/1986 and was a Prisoner of War in Libya. I probably mapped out production and scheduling of these movies years before they were actually created.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Hamburger_Hill
The Battle of Hamburger Hill was one of the most controversial battles of the Vietnam War.
Date May 10, 1969 - May 20, 1969
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburger_hill
Hamburger Hill is a 1987 American movie starring Dylan McDermott, Steven Weber, Courtney B. Vance, Don Cheadle and Michael Boatman; directed by John Irvin and written by James Carabatsos.
Set in May 1969 during the Vietnam War, the movie is based on the actual assault of the U.S. Army's 3d Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment, part of the 101st Airborne Division "Screaming Eagles", on a well-fortified position, including trenchworks and bunkers, of the North Vietnamese Army on Dong Ap Bia Mountain near the Laotian border. American military records of the battle refer to the mountain as "Hill 937", its map designation derived from its being 937 meters high.
The film realistically depicts the realities of war, combat, courage, camaraderie and dedication to the mission among troops. It also brings up painful questions about war, such as the stigmatizing of replacement troops ("newbies" or, more crudely, "FNGs", for "Fuckin' New Guys") and of the seeming caprice of high command in the Vietnam War, specifically the lack of strategic value of the hill and subsequent unnecessary casualties. Other issues include the effect of anti-war sentiment on morale, and racial tensions among troops (especially the overcoming of racial tension by gradual friendship and earned respect).
The film was distributed by Paramount Pictures, which had only theatrical rights to the film, whereas the video rights were owned by Vestron Video, and in later years by Live Entertainment, Artisan Entertainment, and Lions Gate Entertainment (which also recently acquired the UK video rights with distribution by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment).

I recognize the date 11/25/1986 as when my family had a funeral service for me, thinking I had been killed when the Libyan prison I was being held at was bombed. In my artificial and symbolic memory, the date 11/25/1986 is when my step-brother, Michael, was killed when he wrecked his pickup truck. I believe that in reality, my family chose the date 11/25/1986 for my funeral service because I was Jim Morrison's total age plus 59 days on that day.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robocop
Release date(s) July 17, 1987
RoboCop is a 1987 cyberpunk action movie and satire of business-driven capitalism, directed by Paul Verhoeven. Filming took place in Detroit, Michigan, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Dallas, Texas filling in for Michigan locales as well. [1] It spawned two sequels, several comic books, multiple video games, two animated series, dozens of action figures and two television series, all featuring a cyborg police officer. The film was produced by Orion Pictures.
The film is set in a dystopian near future, in Detroit, Michigan. Violent crime is out of control, and the city is in financial ruin. The city contracts the megacorporation Omni Consumer Products (OCP) to fund and operate the police department, in effect privatizing it. OCP is not interested in rebuilding "Old Detroit" but with replacing it with a modern utopia called "Delta City". Before this large construction project can begin, OCP wishes to end crime in the city, and creates a superhuman law-enforcement agent known as RoboCop.
RoboCop, set in the near future, included satirical comment that set it apart from other action movies. The film starts with the broadcast of an extremely short television news program called Media Break, with the slogan, "Give us three minutes, we'll give you the world" and even that is interrupted by a commercial-- for discount artificial hearts. Violent crime has nearly overwhelmed the Detroit police force, which has recently been taken over by a large, multinational corporation and Megacorp, Omni Consumer Products (OCP). There are also rumblings of a potential strike by the police, who feel they are being mistreated by OCP. They are also angry about the brutal murders of several of their comrades, masterminded by a well-known crime boss, Clarence Boddicker (Kurtwood Smith). One officer is clinging to life, and the broadcast closes with the smiling Casey Wong cheering, "Good luck Frank!"

USS Kidd (DDG 993)
USS KIDD was the lead ship of the KIDD - class of guided missile destroyers. These ships were a modified version of the SPRUANCE - class destroyers. Originally built for Iran, the ship was first named KOUROUSH, but after the destroyer's takeover by the U.S. Navy the ship was renamed KIDD, becoming the second ship in the Navy named after Rear Admiral Isaac Campbell Kidd.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_8
Launch: December 21, 1968
Landing: December 27, 1968
Apollo 8 was the second manned mission of the Apollo space program, in which Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot James Lovell and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders became the first humans to orbit around the Moon. It was also the first manned launch of the Saturn V rocket.
NASA prepared for the mission in only four months. The hardware involved had only been used a few times—the Saturn V had launched only twice before, and the Apollo spacecraft had only just finished its first manned mission, Apollo 7. However, the success of the mission paved the way for the successful completion of U.S. President John F. Kennedy's goal of landing on the Moon before the end of the decade.
After launching on December 21, 1968, the crew took three days to travel to the Moon, which they orbited for 20 hours. While in lunar orbit the crew made a Christmas Eve television broadcast in which they read from the book of Genesis. It was the most watched broadcast to date.
Lunar orbit
Igniting at 69 hours, 8 minutes and 16 seconds after launch, the SPS burned for 4 minutes and 13 seconds, placing the crew of Apollo 8 in orbit around the Moon. The crew described this as being the longest four minutes of their lives. If the burn had not lasted exactly the right amount of time, the spacecraft could have ended up in a highly elliptical lunar orbit or even flung off into space. If it lasted too long they could have ended up impacting the Moon. After making sure the spacecraft was working, they finally had a chance to look at the Moon, which they would orbit for the next 20 hours.
On Earth, Mission Control continued to wait. If the crew had not burned the engine or the burn had not lasted the planned length of time the crew would appear early from behind the Moon. However this time came and went without Apollo 8 reappearing. And then exactly at the predicted moment, the signal was received from the spacecraft indicating it was in a 193.3 mi by 69.5 mi (311.1 km by 111.9 km) orbit about the Moon.
Anders continued to take photographs while Lovell took the controls of the spacecraft so that Borman could get some rest. As always, resting was difficult in the cramped and noisy capsule, though Borman was able to doze for two orbits. He would awaken at times to ask a question about their status, only to be told that everything was going fine.
Borman did wake up however when he started to hear his fellow crewmembers make mistakes. They were beginning to not understand questions and would have to ask for the answers to be repeated. Borman realized that everyone was extremely tired having not had a good night's sleep in over three days. Taking command, he ordered Anders and Lovell to get some sleep and that the rest of the flight plan regarding observing the Moon be scrubbed. At first Anders protested saying that he was fine, but Borman would not be swayed. At last Anders agreed as long as the commander would set up the camera to continue to take automatic shots of the Moon. Borman also remembered that there was a second television broadcast planned, and with so many people expected to be watching he wanted the crew to be alert. For the next two orbits Anders and Lovell slept while Borman sat at the helm.
The only thing left for the crew now was to perform the Trans-Earth Injection or TEI, which would occur 2½ hours after the end of the television transmission. This was the most critical burn of the whole flight. If the SPS failed to ignite, then the crew would be stuck in orbit around the Moon, with only about 5 more days of oxygen and no chance of escape. And once again the burn had to be performed while the crew was out of contact with Earth, on the far side of the Moon.
The burn occurred perfectly on time. The spacecraft telemetry was reacquired as it re-emerged from behind the Moon at 89 hours, 28 minutes, and 39 seconds, the exact time predicted. When voice contact was regained, Lovell announced, "Please be informed, there is a Santa Claus", to which Ken Mattingly, the capcom, replied, "That's affirmative, You are the best ones to know". It was Christmas Day, 1968.
The article indicates that Apollo 8 launched at 1251 UTC on 12/21/1968 and it looks like it entered orbit around 68 hours later, although I need to concentrate harder on that.

Honolulu is capital of the state Hawaii
Honolulu is on the Oahu island
Current time Tuesday, June 5, 2007 at 10:23:53 PM
UTC/GMT Offset Standard time zone: UTC/GMT -10 hours
Current UTC (or GMT/Zulu)-time used: Wednesday, June 6, 2007 at 08:25:24
UTC is Coordinated Universal Time, GMT is Greenwich Mean Time.
So it looks to me that Apollo 8 launched at 0251 Hawaii time on Saturday, 12/21/1968.
If it entered orbit 68 hours later then:
48 hours after launch would be 0251 on Monday, 12/23/1968.
20 hours after that, for a total of 68 hours, would be 2251, Monday, 12/23/1968.
So 58 minutes after that would be 2349, Monday, 12/23/1968, Hawaii-time, when Apollo 8 went behind the Moon.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_8
At 64 hours into the flight, the crew began to prepare for Lunar Orbit Insertion-1 (LOI-1). This maneuver had to be performed perfectly, and due to orbital mechanics had to be on the far side of the Moon, out of contact with the Earth. After Mission Control was polled for a Go/No Go decision, the crew was told at 68 hours, they were Go and "riding the best bird we can find". At 68 hours and 58 minutes, the spacecraft went behind the Moon and out of radio contact with the Earth.

I recognize the date Monday, 6/7/1976, as when I landed on the Saturn moon Phoebe. This observation suggests to me that I was onboard Apollo 8 for the first orbit of the Earth's moon and that I noted it was still Monday in Hawaii when we entered the Moon's orbit. The last known lunar landing, with Apollo 17, was a Monday, and the day I recognize as landing on the Saturn moon Phoebe was a Monday. This observation suggests I created this comparison to connect those events with my wife, Phoebe.
To create this artistic device, I would have started with known dates that represent important aspects of my life. The first is Phoebe's birth date and the second is the date I landed on the Saturn moon Phoebe. Another one is the date, Hawaii-time, that Apollo 8 entered orbit of the Earth's moon.
I assume that I wanted to use Hawaii-time because I was born in Hawaii, which is a notion supported by the plot element of "Aloha, Mr. Hand" in the 1982 "Fast Times At Ridgemont High." Also, the word 'moon' is the basis for the word 'monday.' So I knew there were 1987 days between Phoebe's birthday and when Apollo 8 first entered the Moon's orbit on Monday, 12/23/1968, Honolulu-time.
The Apollo 17 date doesn't figure in directly to the calculation, but I noted Apollo 17 landed on the surface of the Moon on a Monday and that was the last known time that humans have landed on the Moon. I thought of that when I was reading the lyrics to "New Moon On Monday," especially the part about "Last time, La Luna."
Only after I ran this calculation again today that I understood it is a simple mid-point device. I was computing it relative to Phoebe's birthday but it doesn't seem to need that and I am feeling very confused and it is hard to concentrate more on this topic.

I find this very amusing. The part about the broken neck is probably something that was said during the flight. Maybe we were all getting on each other's nerves or something. Based on my artificial and symbolic memories, I wasn't the easiest person to get along with in my youth. This also reminds me of why I was poisoned back in 2005 by the Microsoft-Corbis-Al Qaeda insurgents that are currently in control of King County, Washington, having infiltrated the U.S. government.

Memorable quotes for
Gremlins (1984)
Kate: Now I have another reason to hate Christmas.
Billy Peltzer: What are you talking about?
Kate: The worst thing that ever happened to me was on Christmas. Oh, God. It was so horrible. It was Christmas Eve. I was 9 years old. Me and Mom were decorating the tree, waiting for Dad to come home from work. A couple hours went by. Dad wasn't home. So Mom called the office. No answer. Christmas Day came and went, and still nothing. So the police began a search. Four or five days went by. Neither one of us could eat or sleep. Everything was falling apart. It was snowing outside. The house was freezing, so I went to try to light up the fire. That's when I noticed the smell. The firemen came and broke through the chimney top. And me and Mom were expecting them to pull out a dead cat or a bird. And instead they pulled out my father. He was dressed in a Santa Claus suit. He'd been climbing down the chimney... his arms loaded with presents. He was gonna surprise us. He slipped and broke his neck. He died instantly. And that's how I found out there was no Santa Claus.

Rio is an album by Duran Duran, originally released worldwide on May 10, 1982, but re-released in November in the United States. It reached #2 on the UK charts.
The album went gold in the US on March 1, 1983, and platinum on April 26, eventually reaching double platinum status. It peaked at number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US (on June 5, 1983), and remained on the charts there for 129 weeks -- almost two and a half years.In 2000, Rio was ranked #98 in Q magazine's "100 Greatest British Albums". In 2003, it was listed at #65 in the NME "100 Greatest Albums Of All Time". In 2004, CMJ ranked it as #1 in their "Top 20 Most-Played Albums of 1982".[1]

The day 6/7/1976 is the date I recognize as when I arrived at the Saturn moon Phoebe. The single track “Rio” from Duran Duran released 334 weeks after 6/7/1976. At that time in 1982, I would have been out in the U.S. Navy fleet flying the F-14 Tomcat, where the person in the backseat of that aircraft was called the R.I.O., or Radar Intercept Officer. There is probably some kind of inside joke between us that she was my RIO when I was home. Something like that. Something about how I thought of her.

Plot Outline: A joint American-Soviet space expedition is sent to Jupiter to learn what happened to the Discovery.
Release Date: 7 December 1984 (USA)
As I was watching this movie on television recently, I was thinking of how similar "Dr. Floyd's" wife resembled Phoebe. I also wondered if that "Dr. Floyd" character is the basis for Pink Floyd, in that Phoebe is "Pink" and I am "Floyd." I have artificial and symbolic memories of working for a manager at ISA-ISS whose first name was Floyd and he worked out of the Memphis office.
The birthday listed for her makes her 19 years, 6 months, 3 days, old, on 7/4/1976, which is the day I recognize as when I diverted the comet, having arrived 2 days earlier on 7/2/1976.

What an incredibly lonely photo. I don't know which one was taken first, but the premiere dates for that movie suggest they were taken around the same time. I have also puzzled over my expression in that photo for a long time and then I puzzled over why I was puzzling over my expression in that photo. I also pondered over how she is wearing that silver bracelet and I have on that silver identification band that all the racers wore during the event.

Release date(s) January 15, 2004 (Cannes Film Festival)
De-Lovely is a 2004 film that chronicles the life of songwriter Cole Porter. Directed by Irwin Winkler, the film stars Kevin Kline and Ashley Judd.
The film is made up as a rehearsal of a musical telling the famous composer's life and takes place on a musical stage as well as in several locations of his life; it focuses especially on Porter's love life and his bisexuality yet controversially suggests that the real love of his life was his wife.
I don't know which one of these premiere's that photo of Phoebe was taken at, if any of them. That photo could be from last year, for all I know.

Phoebe turned 7 years old on 7/16/1970 and I was 11 years old at that time, which is when I think I chose her to become a princess in my family royal house. I planned certain aspects of our relationship so that she could demonstrate that we had a mutual attraction, which was always confirmed. All the art I created was to represent just how good she has been to me all these years of our relationship.

USS Cole (DDG 67)
Commissioned: June 8, 1996
To produce that commissioning date for the USS Cole DDG-67, which I assume the U.S. Navy asked me to create, I would have used the following calculation, using two known dates:
The date 7/16/1963 is my wife's birth date and I recognize the date 6/7/1976 as when I first landed on the Saturn moon Phoebe. This calculation uses my '34-59' artistic device to identify my work.
From 7/16/1963 to 6/7/1976 is: 4710 days
4710 divided by 0.3459 = 13,616 days
Those ships are normally commissioned on a Saturday, so that would have been a constraint on the date that was used.
From 3/3/1959, the date 6/12/1996 was 13,616 days later and was a Wednesday. That meant I could select Saturday, 6/8/1996, or Saturday, 6/15/1996, as a commissioning date that would meet the criteria of pointing back to 6/7/1996. I probably chose Saturday, 6/8/1996 because that was one of the days I was actually on the surface of the Saturn moon Phoebe in 1976. I recognize the dates 6/7/1976, 6/8/1976, 6/9/1976, as the time period I was on the surface of the Saturn moon Phoebe.
From 3/3/1959 to 6/8/1996 (Saturday) is: 13612 days
I don't know precisely why this is but the commissioning of USS Porter DDG-78 points to my first landing on the planet Mars. The Porter was commissioned on 3/20/1999 and I recognize 4/30/1982 as my commissioning date from the U.S. Naval Academy. I recognize the date 1/21/1976 as when I first landed on the planet Mars. My first year at the Academy would have been 1978. I am thinking there is a specific reason this particular hull was named Porter and scheduled to point to my landing on the planet Mars, but I don't yet remember what is that reason.
There is also the notion that I don't actually remember any of this in the conventional sense. These are just thoughts that are in my mind that I cannot explain where they come from. I have also been thinking that they - whoever 'they' are positioning people around me that I should definitely recognize but they see me and they see that I do not recognize them. I feel certain that at some point in the future, I am going to be able to tell them precisely when I saw them even though I do not recognize them today or in the past.

Patrick Stewart OBE (born July 13, 1940) is an Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated English film, television and stage actor. He is also Chancellor of the University of Huddersfield.[1] Stewart has had a distinguished career in theatre for nearly fifty years, including performances as various characters in Shakespearean productions. However, he is most famous for his roles as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation, and as Professor Xavier in the X-Men film franchise.
Stewart was born in Mirfield, West Yorkshire, England to Gladys, a weaver and textile worker, and Alfred Stewart, a Regimental Sergeant Major in the British Army.
The HMS Sheffield was commissioned 34.59 years after the birth date listed for Patrick Stewart. The distance from Mirfield to Sheffield is about 30 miles.

Some other work I was reviewing again:
As I was just watching this movie, I have symbolic memories from this movie. The part that is just about to come on where the guy gets his head blown off. I can distinctly remember on the Wainwright that I put one of my dog tags on my boot. I associate that detail with this movie. Why would I have such a specific artificial and symbolic memory in that context? Why, in my artificial and symbolic memory, would I "remember" a certain action based on watching a movie in the context of my artificial and symbolic memory? In my artificial and symbolic memory, I put that dog tag on my boot because I "remember" watching this movie in my artificial and symbolic memory. That has got to mean something; probably that I fought in this Vietnam battle. And even worse, it was only a few weeks before Apollo 11 went to the Earth's moon. I have other memories returning to consciousness about Vietnam but I am not really sure what it all means.
I assume I had some kind of creative input into the movie before I was shot down by anti-aircraft fire on 2/14/1986 and was a Prisoner of War in Libya. I probably mapped out production and scheduling of these movies years before they were actually created.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Hamburger_Hill
The Battle of Hamburger Hill was one of the most controversial battles of the Vietnam War.
Date May 10, 1969 - May 20, 1969
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburger_hill
Hamburger Hill is a 1987 American movie starring Dylan McDermott, Steven Weber, Courtney B. Vance, Don Cheadle and Michael Boatman; directed by John Irvin and written by James Carabatsos.
Set in May 1969 during the Vietnam War, the movie is based on the actual assault of the U.S. Army's 3d Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment, part of the 101st Airborne Division "Screaming Eagles", on a well-fortified position, including trenchworks and bunkers, of the North Vietnamese Army on Dong Ap Bia Mountain near the Laotian border. American military records of the battle refer to the mountain as "Hill 937", its map designation derived from its being 937 meters high.
The film realistically depicts the realities of war, combat, courage, camaraderie and dedication to the mission among troops. It also brings up painful questions about war, such as the stigmatizing of replacement troops ("newbies" or, more crudely, "FNGs", for "Fuckin' New Guys") and of the seeming caprice of high command in the Vietnam War, specifically the lack of strategic value of the hill and subsequent unnecessary casualties. Other issues include the effect of anti-war sentiment on morale, and racial tensions among troops (especially the overcoming of racial tension by gradual friendship and earned respect).
The film was distributed by Paramount Pictures, which had only theatrical rights to the film, whereas the video rights were owned by Vestron Video, and in later years by Live Entertainment, Artisan Entertainment, and Lions Gate Entertainment (which also recently acquired the UK video rights with distribution by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robocop
Release date(s) July 17, 1987
RoboCop is a 1987 cyberpunk action movie and satire of business-driven capitalism, directed by Paul Verhoeven. Filming took place in Detroit, Michigan, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Dallas, Texas filling in for Michigan locales as well. [1] It spawned two sequels, several comic books, multiple video games, two animated series, dozens of action figures and two television series, all featuring a cyborg police officer. The film was produced by Orion Pictures.
The film is set in a dystopian near future, in Detroit, Michigan. Violent crime is out of control, and the city is in financial ruin. The city contracts the megacorporation Omni Consumer Products (OCP) to fund and operate the police department, in effect privatizing it. OCP is not interested in rebuilding "Old Detroit" but with replacing it with a modern utopia called "Delta City". Before this large construction project can begin, OCP wishes to end crime in the city, and creates a superhuman law-enforcement agent known as RoboCop.
RoboCop, set in the near future, included satirical comment that set it apart from other action movies. The film starts with the broadcast of an extremely short television news program called Media Break, with the slogan, "Give us three minutes, we'll give you the world" and even that is interrupted by a commercial-- for discount artificial hearts. Violent crime has nearly overwhelmed the Detroit police force, which has recently been taken over by a large, multinational corporation and Megacorp, Omni Consumer Products (OCP). There are also rumblings of a potential strike by the police, who feel they are being mistreated by OCP. They are also angry about the brutal murders of several of their comrades, masterminded by a well-known crime boss, Clarence Boddicker (Kurtwood Smith). One officer is clinging to life, and the broadcast closes with the smiling Casey Wong cheering, "Good luck Frank!"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_8
Launch: December 21, 1968
Landing: December 27, 1968
Apollo 8 was the second manned mission of the Apollo space program, in which Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot James Lovell and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders became the first humans to orbit around the Moon. It was also the first manned launch of the Saturn V rocket.
NASA prepared for the mission in only four months. The hardware involved had only been used a few times—the Saturn V had launched only twice before, and the Apollo spacecraft had only just finished its first manned mission, Apollo 7. However, the success of the mission paved the way for the successful completion of U.S. President John F. Kennedy's goal of landing on the Moon before the end of the decade.
After launching on December 21, 1968, the crew took three days to travel to the Moon, which they orbited for 20 hours. While in lunar orbit the crew made a Christmas Eve television broadcast in which they read from the book of Genesis. It was the most watched broadcast to date.
Lunar orbit
Igniting at 69 hours, 8 minutes and 16 seconds after launch, the SPS burned for 4 minutes and 13 seconds, placing the crew of Apollo 8 in orbit around the Moon. The crew described this as being the longest four minutes of their lives. If the burn had not lasted exactly the right amount of time, the spacecraft could have ended up in a highly elliptical lunar orbit or even flung off into space. If it lasted too long they could have ended up impacting the Moon. After making sure the spacecraft was working, they finally had a chance to look at the Moon, which they would orbit for the next 20 hours.
On Earth, Mission Control continued to wait. If the crew had not burned the engine or the burn had not lasted the planned length of time the crew would appear early from behind the Moon. However this time came and went without Apollo 8 reappearing. And then exactly at the predicted moment, the signal was received from the spacecraft indicating it was in a 193.3 mi by 69.5 mi (311.1 km by 111.9 km) orbit about the Moon.
Anders continued to take photographs while Lovell took the controls of the spacecraft so that Borman could get some rest. As always, resting was difficult in the cramped and noisy capsule, though Borman was able to doze for two orbits. He would awaken at times to ask a question about their status, only to be told that everything was going fine.
Borman did wake up however when he started to hear his fellow crewmembers make mistakes. They were beginning to not understand questions and would have to ask for the answers to be repeated. Borman realized that everyone was extremely tired having not had a good night's sleep in over three days. Taking command, he ordered Anders and Lovell to get some sleep and that the rest of the flight plan regarding observing the Moon be scrubbed. At first Anders protested saying that he was fine, but Borman would not be swayed. At last Anders agreed as long as the commander would set up the camera to continue to take automatic shots of the Moon. Borman also remembered that there was a second television broadcast planned, and with so many people expected to be watching he wanted the crew to be alert. For the next two orbits Anders and Lovell slept while Borman sat at the helm.
The only thing left for the crew now was to perform the Trans-Earth Injection or TEI, which would occur 2½ hours after the end of the television transmission. This was the most critical burn of the whole flight. If the SPS failed to ignite, then the crew would be stuck in orbit around the Moon, with only about 5 more days of oxygen and no chance of escape. And once again the burn had to be performed while the crew was out of contact with Earth, on the far side of the Moon.
The burn occurred perfectly on time. The spacecraft telemetry was reacquired as it re-emerged from behind the Moon at 89 hours, 28 minutes, and 39 seconds, the exact time predicted. When voice contact was regained, Lovell announced, "Please be informed, there is a Santa Claus", to which Ken Mattingly, the capcom, replied, "That's affirmative, You are the best ones to know". It was Christmas Day, 1968.
The article indicates that Apollo 8 launched at 1251 UTC on 12/21/1968 and it looks like it entered orbit around 68 hours later, although I need to concentrate harder on that.

Honolulu, Hawaii, U.S.A.
Honolulu is capital of the state Hawaii
Honolulu is on the Oahu island
Current time Tuesday, June 5, 2007 at 10:23:53 PM
UTC/GMT Offset Standard time zone: UTC/GMT -10 hours
Current UTC (or GMT/Zulu)-time used: Wednesday, June 6, 2007 at 08:25:24
UTC is Coordinated Universal Time, GMT is Greenwich Mean Time.
So it looks to me that Apollo 8 launched at 0251 Hawaii time on Saturday, 12/21/1968.
If it entered orbit 68 hours later then:
48 hours after launch would be 0251 on Monday, 12/23/1968.
20 hours after that, for a total of 68 hours, would be 2251, Monday, 12/23/1968.
So 58 minutes after that would be 2349, Monday, 12/23/1968, Hawaii-time, when Apollo 8 went behind the Moon.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_8
At 64 hours into the flight, the crew began to prepare for Lunar Orbit Insertion-1 (LOI-1). This maneuver had to be performed perfectly, and due to orbital mechanics had to be on the far side of the Moon, out of contact with the Earth. After Mission Control was polled for a Go/No Go decision, the crew was told at 68 hours, they were Go and "riding the best bird we can find". At 68 hours and 58 minutes, the spacecraft went behind the Moon and out of radio contact with the Earth.

Or: 68 hours, 58 minutes
I recognize the date Monday, 6/7/1976, as when I landed on the Saturn moon Phoebe. This observation suggests to me that I was onboard Apollo 8 for the first orbit of the Earth's moon and that I noted it was still Monday in Hawaii when we entered the Moon's orbit. The last known lunar landing, with Apollo 17, was a Monday, and the day I recognize as landing on the Saturn moon Phoebe was a Monday. This observation suggests I created this comparison to connect those events with my wife, Phoebe.
To create this artistic device, I would have started with known dates that represent important aspects of my life. The first is Phoebe's birth date and the second is the date I landed on the Saturn moon Phoebe. Another one is the date, Hawaii-time, that Apollo 8 entered orbit of the Earth's moon.
I assume that I wanted to use Hawaii-time because I was born in Hawaii, which is a notion supported by the plot element of "Aloha, Mr. Hand" in the 1982 "Fast Times At Ridgemont High." Also, the word 'moon' is the basis for the word 'monday.' So I knew there were 1987 days between Phoebe's birthday and when Apollo 8 first entered the Moon's orbit on Monday, 12/23/1968, Honolulu-time.
The Apollo 17 date doesn't figure in directly to the calculation, but I noted Apollo 17 landed on the surface of the Moon on a Monday and that was the last known time that humans have landed on the Moon. I thought of that when I was reading the lyrics to "New Moon On Monday," especially the part about "Last time, La Luna."
Only after I ran this calculation again today that I understood it is a simple mid-point device. I was computing it relative to Phoebe's birthday but it doesn't seem to need that and I am feeling very confused and it is hard to concentrate more on this topic.

Track listing
2. "New Moon On Monday" – 4:16
I find this very amusing. The part about the broken neck is probably something that was said during the flight. Maybe we were all getting on each other's nerves or something. Based on my artificial and symbolic memories, I wasn't the easiest person to get along with in my youth. This also reminds me of why I was poisoned back in 2005 by the Microsoft-Corbis-Al Qaeda insurgents that are currently in control of King County, Washington, having infiltrated the U.S. government.

Memorable quotes for
Gremlins (1984)
Kate: Now I have another reason to hate Christmas.
Billy Peltzer: What are you talking about?
Kate: The worst thing that ever happened to me was on Christmas. Oh, God. It was so horrible. It was Christmas Eve. I was 9 years old. Me and Mom were decorating the tree, waiting for Dad to come home from work. A couple hours went by. Dad wasn't home. So Mom called the office. No answer. Christmas Day came and went, and still nothing. So the police began a search. Four or five days went by. Neither one of us could eat or sleep. Everything was falling apart. It was snowing outside. The house was freezing, so I went to try to light up the fire. That's when I noticed the smell. The firemen came and broke through the chimney top. And me and Mom were expecting them to pull out a dead cat or a bird. And instead they pulled out my father. He was dressed in a Santa Claus suit. He'd been climbing down the chimney... his arms loaded with presents. He was gonna surprise us. He slipped and broke his neck. He died instantly. And that's how I found out there was no Santa Claus.

Rio is an album by Duran Duran, originally released worldwide on May 10, 1982, but re-released in November in the United States. It reached #2 on the UK charts.
The album went gold in the US on March 1, 1983, and platinum on April 26, eventually reaching double platinum status. It peaked at number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US (on June 5, 1983), and remained on the charts there for 129 weeks -- almost two and a half years.In 2000, Rio was ranked #98 in Q magazine's "100 Greatest British Albums".

"Ever since, people think we spend all our time riding around in silk suits, on yachts, getting wet." -- Nick Rhodes
The day 6/7/1976 is the date I recognize as when I arrived at the Saturn moon Phoebe. The single track “Rio” from Duran Duran released 334 weeks after 6/7/1976. At that time in 1982, I would have been out in the U.S. Navy fleet flying the F-14 Tomcat, where the person in the backseat of that aircraft was called the R.I.O., or Radar Intercept Officer. There is probably some kind of inside joke between us that she was my RIO when I was home. Something like that. Something about how I thought of her.

As I was watching this movie on television recently, I was thinking of how similar "Dr. Floyd's" wife resembled Phoebe. I also wondered if that "Dr. Floyd" character is the basis for Pink Floyd, in that Phoebe is "Pink" and I am "Floyd." I have artificial and symbolic memories of working for a manager at ISA-ISS whose first name was Floyd and he worked out of the Memphis office.
The birthday listed for her makes her 19 years, 6 months, 3 days, old, on 7/4/1976, which is the day I recognize as when I diverted the comet, having arrived 2 days earlier on 7/2/1976.

Tiger Cruise (August 6, 2004) is the 53rd Disney Channel Original Movie. It stars Hayden Panettiere (Remember the Titans) and Bill Pullman (Independence Day). The film's fictional events are intertwined with the real-life events of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Maddie Dolan is on a mission to convince her dad to give up his naval career and come home to his family where he belongs. To do this, Maddie accepts her dad's offer to participate in Operation Tiger, a week-long cruise for family and friends aboard his aircraft carrier.
Maddie thinks her plans might actually work until September 11, 2001, two days into the cruise. When the ship goes into high alert, Maddie gets to see her father's courage, honor and commitment to his family firsthand and discovers the importance of the sacrifice he makes to serve his country, and she now understands why her dad wants to (and has to) serve.
The actress who portrays the daughter of the US Navy officer in this movie was born 3332 days after the birthday listed for Michelle Kwan and I assume that was done to represent that Michelle is my daughter and the goal was to create a 33-34 artistic device.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_8
Apollo 8 was the second manned mission of the Apollo space program, in which Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot James Lovell and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders became the first humans to orbit around the Moon. It was also the first manned launch of the Saturn V rocket.
NASA prepared for the mission in only four months. The hardware involved had only been used a few times—the Saturn V had launched only twice before, and the Apollo spacecraft had only just finished its first manned mission, Apollo 7. However, the success of the mission paved the way for the successful completion of U.S. President John F. Kennedy's goal of landing on the Moon before the end of the decade.
After launching on December 21, 1968, the crew took three days to travel to the Moon, which they orbited for 20 hours. While in lunar orbit the crew made a Christmas Eve television broadcast in which they read from the book of Genesis. It was the most watched broadcast to date.

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: Sleep journal 3/19/06
Yesterday was some kind of foreign dream that was more of an emotion than a visualization. I couldn't remember any of the details although I felt like I had been seeing details. All I remembered was feeling like it was something intense, there was some intensity to the communication, almost overwhelming like a very strong and clear signal on a radio. After I woke up, I could only characterize the message as positive.
Today the first foreign dream wasn't too clear either. It had something to do with me, someother characters, and something about the stars. We were under the stars, or we were talking to the stars. I can visualize the sky with the stars but they may have also been a metaphor for people. Then I left somewhere and there was something about a goose, not sure what that meant, maybe something to do with staying meant something about a cooked goose.
The second foreign dream had a lot of detail. I was sitting on a bus with someone that I knew but I don't know who it was. It may have been Britney Spears but that makes no sense. I was sitting next to her and she was someone that I had lived with before, someone I had a relationship with, like a girlfriend. I was getting off the bus to a place I was staying that I don't recognize from anyplace I've been in real life. She asked me if I was really staying there, she may have commented that it was amazing I was staying there, or someone else said that. Apparently, it was the same place she and I had lived during our relationship. It was some kind of little travel trailer. A young woman was letting me stay there. I was taking up a little open seat or bench in a hallway of the trailer. I had a little storage bin to put my stuff in.
For a while I was thinking this was about Britney Spears mother, in that I was dreaming of a time before the first space shuttle launched and I was telling her mother that I was launching on that flight. But more likely, it is about my wife, Phoebe, who I guess is her step-mother. And I have no idea the context of this conversation that was occurring in my dream because I don't think Phoebe knew about my space shuttle flights. Or maybe I told her about it later and she told me it was amazing that I was an astronaut. Or maybe that it what I anticipated her to say when I told her about it in the future.

Britney Spears’ ‘manny’ is Navy man
Perry Taylor is ‘more of a bodyguard,’ says his mother
Updated: 3:53 p.m. PT June 9, 2006
EASTON, Md. - At the U.S. Naval Academy, Perry Taylor was addressed as “midshipman.” Now, though, he’s known as Perry Poppins.
The 28-year-old Easton native has popped up in supermarket tabloids as the male nanny — or “manny” — for Britney Spears, who has a 9-month-old son, Sean Preston, and is pregnant.
“Actually, he’s more of a bodyguard,” says Taylor’s mother, Caroline Moncure-Taylor, a Washington real estate agent. Moncure-Taylor told The (Baltimore) Sun that Taylor has worked for the 24-year-old pop singer for less than a month.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Ia_Drang
The Battle of Ia Drang was the first major battle of the Vietnam War between the United States Army and the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN).
The two-part battle took place between November 14 and November 18, 1965, at two landing zones (LZ's) northwest of Plei Me in the Central Highlands of South Vietnam. The battle derives its name from the Drang River which runs through the valley northwest of Plei Me, in which the engagement took place. "Ia" means "river" in the local Montagnard language.
Representing the American forces were elements of the 1st Battalion 7th Cavalry, the 2nd Battalion 7th Cavalry, and the 1st Battalion 5th Cavalry of the United States Army. The communist forces included the 33rd, 66th, and 320th Regiments of the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN), as well National Liberation Front (NLF) of the H15 Battalion.

Tiger Cruise (August 6, 2004) is the 53rd Disney Channel Original Movie. It stars Hayden Panettiere (Remember the Titans) and Bill Pullman (Independence Day). The film's fictional events are intertwined with the real-life events of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Maddie Dolan is on a mission to convince her dad to give up his naval career and come home to his family where he belongs. To do this, Maddie accepts her dad's offer to participate in Operation Tiger, a week-long cruise for family and friends aboard his aircraft carrier.
Maddie thinks her plans might actually work until September 11, 2001, two days into the cruise. When the ship goes into high alert, Maddie gets to see her father's courage, honor and commitment to his family firsthand and discovers the importance of the sacrifice he makes to serve his country, and she now understands why her dad wants to (and has to) serve.
The actress who portrays the daughter of the US Navy officer in this movie was born 3332 days after the birthday listed for Michelle Kwan and I assume that was done to represent that Michelle is my daughter and the goal was to create a 33-34 artistic device.

Kate: The worst thing that ever happened to me was on Christmas. Oh, God. It was so horrible. It was Christmas Eve. I was 9 years old. Me and Mom were decorating the tree, waiting for Dad to come home from work. A couple hours went by. Dad wasn't home. So Mom called the office. No answer. Christmas Day came and went, and still nothing. So the police began a search. Four or five days went by. Neither one of us could eat or sleep. Everything was falling apart. It was snowing outside. The house was freezing, so I went to try to light up the fire. That's when I noticed the smell. The firemen came and broke through the chimney top. And me and Mom were expecting them to pull out a dead cat or a bird. And instead they pulled out my father. He was dressed in a Santa Claus suit. He'd been climbing down the chimney... his arms loaded with presents. He was gonna surprise us. He slipped and broke his neck. He died instantly. And that's how I found out there was no Santa Claus.

Apollo 8 was the second manned mission of the Apollo space program, in which Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot James Lovell and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders became the first humans to orbit around the Moon. It was also the first manned launch of the Saturn V rocket.
NASA prepared for the mission in only four months. The hardware involved had only been used a few times—the Saturn V had launched only twice before, and the Apollo spacecraft had only just finished its first manned mission, Apollo 7. However, the success of the mission paved the way for the successful completion of U.S. President John F. Kennedy's goal of landing on the Moon before the end of the decade.
After launching on December 21, 1968, the crew took three days to travel to the Moon, which they orbited for 20 hours. While in lunar orbit the crew made a Christmas Eve television broadcast in which they read from the book of Genesis. It was the most watched broadcast to date.

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: Sleep journal 3/19/06
Yesterday was some kind of foreign dream that was more of an emotion than a visualization. I couldn't remember any of the details although I felt like I had been seeing details. All I remembered was feeling like it was something intense, there was some intensity to the communication, almost overwhelming like a very strong and clear signal on a radio. After I woke up, I could only characterize the message as positive.
Today the first foreign dream wasn't too clear either. It had something to do with me, someother characters, and something about the stars. We were under the stars, or we were talking to the stars. I can visualize the sky with the stars but they may have also been a metaphor for people. Then I left somewhere and there was something about a goose, not sure what that meant, maybe something to do with staying meant something about a cooked goose.
The second foreign dream had a lot of detail. I was sitting on a bus with someone that I knew but I don't know who it was. It may have been Britney Spears but that makes no sense. I was sitting next to her and she was someone that I had lived with before, someone I had a relationship with, like a girlfriend. I was getting off the bus to a place I was staying that I don't recognize from anyplace I've been in real life. She asked me if I was really staying there, she may have commented that it was amazing I was staying there, or someone else said that. Apparently, it was the same place she and I had lived during our relationship. It was some kind of little travel trailer. A young woman was letting me stay there. I was taking up a little open seat or bench in a hallway of the trailer. I had a little storage bin to put my stuff in.
For a while I was thinking this was about Britney Spears mother, in that I was dreaming of a time before the first space shuttle launched and I was telling her mother that I was launching on that flight. But more likely, it is about my wife, Phoebe, who I guess is her step-mother. And I have no idea the context of this conversation that was occurring in my dream because I don't think Phoebe knew about my space shuttle flights. Or maybe I told her about it later and she told me it was amazing that I was an astronaut. Or maybe that it what I anticipated her to say when I told her about it in the future.

Britney Spears’ ‘manny’ is Navy man
Perry Taylor is ‘more of a bodyguard,’ says his mother
Updated: 3:53 p.m. PT June 9, 2006
EASTON, Md. - At the U.S. Naval Academy, Perry Taylor was addressed as “midshipman.” Now, though, he’s known as Perry Poppins.
The 28-year-old Easton native has popped up in supermarket tabloids as the male nanny — or “manny” — for Britney Spears, who has a 9-month-old son, Sean Preston, and is pregnant.
“Actually, he’s more of a bodyguard,” says Taylor’s mother, Caroline Moncure-Taylor, a Washington real estate agent. Moncure-Taylor told The (Baltimore) Sun that Taylor has worked for the 24-year-old pop singer for less than a month.

The Battle of Ia Drang was the first major battle of the Vietnam War between the United States Army and the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN).
The two-part battle took place between November 14 and November 18, 1965, at two landing zones (LZ's) northwest of Plei Me in the Central Highlands of South Vietnam. The battle derives its name from the Drang River which runs through the valley northwest of Plei Me, in which the engagement took place. "Ia" means "river" in the local Montagnard language.
Representing the American forces were elements of the 1st Battalion 7th Cavalry, the 2nd Battalion 7th Cavalry, and the 1st Battalion 5th Cavalry of the United States Army. The communist forces included the 33rd, 66th, and 320th Regiments of the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN), as well National Liberation Front (NLF) of the H15 Battalion.
The battle is the subject of the critically acclaimed book We Were Soldiers Once ... And Young by Harold (Hal) Moore and Joseph L. Galloway. In 2002, screenwriter Randall Wallace depicted the first part of the battle in the film We Were Soldiers starring Mel Gibson.

Apollo 10 was the fourth manned mission in the Apollo program. The mission included the second crew to orbit the Moon, and the test of the lunar module in lunar orbit. The module came to within 8.4 nautical miles (15.6 km) of the lunar surface during practice maneuvers. According to the 2001 Guinness World Records Apollo 10 has the record for the highest speed attained by a manned vehicle: 39,897 km/h (11.08 km/s or 24,791 mph). The speed record was set during the return from the Moon on 26 May 1969.

"Keiko O'Brien"
As I think more about the American POW situation during the Vietnam War, I think I was being trained specifically in rescue operations with the U.S. Navy SEALs, as well being a U.S. Navy aviator. I was most likely a commissioned U.S. Navy officer during the Vietnam War, but I put that all behind me in 1978 to try to start over with a regular career for my age. However, based on my past experience with the U.S. military and intellignce agencies, I maintained a higher level of seniority within the United States intelligence agencies, which continues to this day.
So anyway, I think I was captive in North Vietnam more than once, but the worst was at the Hanoi Hilton. I think I actually volunteered to go in there and assess the situation and I stayed in there for a while, possibly for at least 2 months, before I escaped and returned to friendly forces. I have been thinking I escaped at that specific time so I could make it back for the Apollo 16 launch on 4/16/1972, where I was feeling a lot more stressed on that flight than others, bcause I had a very difficult time escaping through hostile territory and they were really plastering me along the way with artillery and mortars. So I think I parachuted from a helicopter, or similar transport, over enemy territory and made it seem I had ejected from a jet and so they threw me in with Stockdale, McCain, and the others. I have been thinking I already knew James Stockdale from before he was captured. One of the reasons I might have gone in there, at the minimum in case we couldn't get them out, was to tell him I had been to the Moon in 1969.
I think about all that when I think of that recent "Lost" episode and why that woman who had escaped the helicopter, according to her, before it crashed, and I wondered how often you would see a helicopter crew person wearing an oxygen mask, especially if they are, presumably, making low-level flights to the island looking for humans on the island.

Griffith Park is a large public park at the eastern end of the Santa Monica Mountains. It is situated in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. The park covers 4,210 acres (17 km²) of land, making it one of the largest urban parks in North America. It is the second-largest city park in California, after Mission Trails Preserve in San Diego.
There is a lot of symbolic value in these places I "remember" living at in my artificial and symbolic memory.

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: Saturday, May 05, 2007
I have thought for a long time that Tina Mason, from my symbolic and artificial memories, has a distinct resemblance to the actress Bette Davis. She had the same eyes. I think there is a song about her eyes. And it might not be a coincidence that my grandmother - from my artificial and symbolic memory - was named Bettie Davis. It might also not be a coincidence that my grandmother Bettie - in my symbolic and artificial memory - resembles Queen Elizabeth II. Tina's son was named Philip. We stood outside one time - in my artificial and symbolic memories - looking at a comet in the night sky.
Phoebe must be the woman I “remember” from my artificial and symbolic memory that grandma Betty told me she approved of. I have been thinking of that “memory” for a while.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bette_Davis
Bette Davis (April 5, 1908 – October 6, 1989), born Ruth Elizabeth Davis, was a two-time Academy Award-winning American actress of film, television and theatre. Noted for her willingness to play unsympathetic characters, she was highly regarded for her performances in a range of film genres, from contemporary crime melodramas to historical and period films and occasional comedies, though her greatest successes were romantic dramas.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Private_Lives_of_Elizabeth_and_Essex
The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (1939) is a romantic drama film based on the relationship between Queen Elizabeth I (played by Bette Davis) and Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex (played by Errol Flynn).
From what I can tell by my research on the internet, there isn’t even a house where I “remember” living at Country Club Estates in South Carolina. The street address that I remember” seems to an empty, wooded lot. I do see the house I “remember” living in, but it is well down the street and at a very different street address. There is just no way I could not remember the correct address for that house. It is burned into my memory.
In my artificial and symbolic memory, I lived there when I worked for a company with the initials UFP. This all on the work history documents I got from the Social Security Administration so it is part of my official federal undercover identity. I think UFP was chosen to symbolize the “United Federation of Planets” from “Star Trek.” Before I worked for UFP, I worked for ISA-ISS in Memphis, Tennessee and I believe that is a similar work of symbolism. While I have never heard of an “International Space Agency,” the ISS could be a reference to the International Space Station.
At one point, sometime in 1995, I think, according to my artificial memories, UFP transferred me to Charlotte, NC, to work in a bank there and I lived in an apartment named Arrowood at corner of Arrowcreek and Royal Point. From there, I moved across town to an apartment on Dresden that was near Sheffield. Then I moved back across town to Whitehall Estates. That was the last place I lived in North Carolina, until I moved to Rock Hill, SC. I lived at Paces River apartments in Rock Hill before I left for Microsoft to begin my work there with my undercover identity. Lately, I have been wondering if that is some kind of symbolic reference to my wife, Phoebe Ray.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_of_Whitehall
The Palace of Whitehall was the main residence of the English monarchs in London from 1530 until 1698 when all except Inigo Jones' 1622 Banqueting House was destroyed by fire. Before the fire it had grown to be the largest palace in Europe, with over 1,500 rooms (and was at one time the largest building in the world).
The palace gives its name — Whitehall — to the current administrative centre of the UK government.

Just call Dame Helen Mirren Your Majesty on-screen
She plays the 16th-century queen in the two-part miniseries "Elizabeth I," premiering on HBO Saturday at 8 p.m. Later this year, she'll be seen as the current Elizabeth II in the feature film "The Queen," which takes place in the days following Princess Diana's death.
Scripted by Nigel Williams, the miniseries uses many of the intellectual monarch's own words. England's Palace of Whitehall was re-created in Lithuania inside a Soviet-era concrete gymnasium.
"It was this amazing set, all in one piece so you could walk from one room to another," said Mirren, describing the juxtaposition of the private and the public -- the "almost erotic" atmosphere of the queen's bedroom being right next to the political council chamber.
She also has great praise for the costumes, designed by Mike O'Neill.
"The older she got, the more extreme they got and the lower cut. Funnily enough, there's a lot of talk about her baring her bosom," laughed Mirren, who has never shied away from playing nude scenes, but doesn't have to go that far this time.
Elizabeth II wasn't on duty when Mirren was dubbed a dame -- Prince Charles did the honors -- but Mirren once met the monarch briefly at a polo match.
"It was a great place to meet because she was in her element," the actress recalled. "She's very charming. Sparkling. People don't see that. ... She's just not interested in smiling when she doesn't have reason to smile."

"the royals and the press"
December 25, 1992 In the Queen's Christmas message the distress over family turmoil and press revelations is clear: "Like many other families, we have lived through some difficult days this year...It has touched me deeply that so much [support] has come from those of you with troubles of your own. If we can sometimes lift our eyes from our own problems, and focus on those of others it will be at least a step in the right direction."
Afterwards, The Times writes: "What matters is the national sense that something is wrong with the state of the Royal Family, that, while the Monarch remains high in her subjects' esteem, the rest of 'the firm'is variously at fault and failing to live and work as it should."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Wales
Thomas C. Wales (1952–2001) was a federal prosecutor and gun control advocate from Seattle, Washington, who was the victim of an unsolved murder.
Wales was born in Boston, Massachusetts. After his graduation from Milton Academy, he went to Harvard University and then to Hofstra Law School, where he graduated with distinction in 1979 and served as the Editor-in-Chief of the Law Review.
He worked as a U.S. Attorney in Seattle and specialized on the investigation and prosecution of fraud in banking and business. As a community volunteer, he was active in civic organizations and served as a trustee of the Federal Bar Association. He was president of an anti-gun organization, Washington CeaseFire ([1]). He died on October 12, 2001, aged 49, one day after having been shot by an unknown subject. He was shot while sitting at a computer in his basement. His murderer apparently shot him and fled through Wales' back yard.
There is an open reward of one million U.S. dollars for information leading to the conclusion of the case.
The Seattle Times reported that in 2006 two homes and vehicles belonging to a man whom Wales had prosecuted were searched by the FBI in further investigation of the murder. The owner of the homes and vehicles was a pilot who, with others, Wales had prosecuted in a fraud case. Charges against the pilot and others were dismissed but the corporation they ran was convicted. The pilot later filed a malicious prosecution claim seeking $125,000 in legal fees but the complaint was dismissed.
In his memory, the Thomas C. Wales Foundation ([2]) was set up to support civil commitment.
In the Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy, media reports suggest that John McKay may have in part been dismissed from his position as United States Attorney for the Western District of Washington due to conflicts with his superiors at the Department of Justice concerning the investigation of Wales murder. [1] One media story asserts that McKay felt "that senior Justice officials were not paying enough attention to the case".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11
The Apollo 11 mission was the first manned mission to land on the Moon. It was the fifth human spaceflight of the Apollo programs, and the third human voyage to the moon. Launched on July 16, 1969, it carried Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin. On July 20, Armstrong and Aldrin became the first humans to land on the Moon, while Collins orbited above.
At 2:56 UTC on July 21, Armstrong made his descent to the Moon's surface and spoke his famous line "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind" exactly six and a half hours after landing.[1] Aldrin joined him, saying, "Beautiful. Beautiful. Magnificent desolation." Then for two-and-a-half hours, they took notes, photographed what they saw, and drilled core samples
As with my 33-34 artistic device for my birthday, some articles note that the Apollo 11 astronauts walked on the Earth's moon on 7/20/1969, while others note it as 7/21/1969. I generally use 7/21/1969, which was UTC. In terms of Eastern Time, it is known publicly that Neil Armstrong stepped on the surface on the Moon at just about 11 PM on 7/20/1969.
Using that Eastern Time as the basis, I calculate that Neil Armstrong stepped onto the Earth's moon at a point 139.9583333 days after my 10th birthday of 3/3/1969.
So by my calculations, I was 10 years, 3359 hours old at the time known as when Neil Armstrong stepped onto the Earth's moon. I believe that detail was created because I was actually the first human to step onto the Earth's moon, and that is why I have some kind of artificial and symbolic memory that seems to ask me who set up the camera on the Moon that recorded Neil Armstrong stepping on the Moon surface, as some kind of rhetorical question I encoded into my artificial memory. I was only 10 years old at the time, so technically, Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the Moon.
From 3/3/1969 to 7/20/1969 is: 139 days
139 * 24 = 3336 hours
3336 + 23 hrs = 3359 hours

Plot summary for
Princess Caraboo (1994)
Bristol, England, early 19th century. A beautiful young stranger who speaks a weird language is tried for the crime of begging. But when a man claims that he can translate her dialect, it is understood that the woman is a princess from a far away land. She is then welcomed by a family of haughty aristocrats that only wants to heighten their prestige. However, the local reporter is not at all convinced she is what she claims to be and investigates. Is Caraboo really a princess?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Caraboo
Princess Caraboo (1791 - January 4, 1865), a noted impostor, pretended to be from a faraway island and fooled a British town for some time.
In 1821, she had returned to Britain but her act was no longer very successful. She briefly traveled to France and Spain in her guise but soon returned to England and re-married. In September 1828, she was living in Bedminster with the name Mary Burgess and gave birth to a daughter the next year.
The hoax was the basis of the 1994 movie Princess Caraboo, written by John Wells, which added some fictional incidents to the true story.
The two appearances listed for Phoebe on The Late Show with David Letterman were around the time her movie “Princess Caraboo” was in theatres. Her first appearance was just before the movie released and then her second appearance would have been my 36th birthday.

This actor portrays Phoebe's husband in "Drop Dead Fred." Those artificial and symbolic memories about the anchor chain of the USS Taylor FFG-50 were when we making a port call to Frederiksted, St. Croix, so that is probably relevant somehow to all this, in that it has something to do with a vacation Phoebe and I went on. The notion is that she is very important to me.

Marsha Mason, according to this information on the internet, was 34 years, 33 weeks, 6 days, old on 11/26/1976. I recognize the date 11/26/1976 as when I landed on the Jupiter moon Callisto after successfully diverting the comet a few months earlier. I assume that my oxygen supply was almost depleted and Callisto was going to be my grave site. I discovered there was water ice, though and I was able to convert it into enough oxygen to make it back to Earth on 4/14/1977.

That 11/9/1985 photo of Diana dancing with John Travolta at a White House party was 3 months, 3 weeks, 3 days, after Phoebe's 22nd birthday. There is also something so familiar about that. I have memories of Jim Shea and his very attractive girlfriend with the black hair, Phyllis, that might be symbolic of that real event. Travolta does kind of resemble Jim Shea in those photos. They are quite similar in appearance, but I think that Jim Shea is more a representation of me in my real life, in certain characteristics.

C31893-10, Princess Diana dancing with John Travolta in the cross hall at the White House. 11/9/85
JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 05/06/07 10:42 AM
In a dream just before I woke up, I was standing in line for a movie. I can remember something about looking at some dime coins in my hand. I was there for the early showing of the movie, but something is confusing about that. I'm not sure if I was there to see the movie, or I just found myself in line for the movie. Then John Travolta was there because I think he owned the theatre. I feel as though I knew him but I couldn't actually remember that I knew him. I think it was before I saw him but after he saw me that he called out to me. I walked over to where he was nearby and he was asking me questions about who I was. He knew who I was but he wanted to see if I knew who I was. I told him I recognize that Thomas Ray might be my real name. He asked my middle name and I told him Allyn and then I spelled it for him as he asked. I can't remember what happened after that. There are thoughts about Phoebe but I am not sure if that was part of the dream or if I was just thinking of how I miss her. It could be that Travolta was telling me that she missed me.

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall (Camilla Rosemary; formerly Parker Bowles; née Shand, born 17 July 1947) is the second wife of Charles, Prince of Wales, heir apparent to the thrones of the United Kingdom and the other 15 Commonwealth Realms.
Prior to their marriage she had been his long-time partner. As the consort of the Prince of Wales she is legally the Princess of Wales;[2] Clarence House has announced that she is officially styled HRH The Duchess of Cornwall (Duchess of Rothesay in Scotland). This is mainly because the princely title was so closely identified by the public with her husband's first wife, the late Diana, Princess of Wales.

Blade Runner (1982)
Release Date: 25 June 1982 (USA)
Harrison Ford ... Rick Deckard
Sean Young ... Rachael
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_runner
Blade Runner is an influential 1982 cyberpunk, neo noir film directed by Ridley Scott from a screenplay written by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples, which was adapted from the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick. The film features Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James Olmos, Daryl Hannah and Joanna Cassidy.
The film depicts a dystopian Los Angeles in November 2019 in which genetically manufactured beings called replicants, visually indistinguishable from adult humans, are used for dangerous and degrading work in Earth's "off-world colonies." After replicants became illegal on Earth, specialist police units — blade runners — were trained to hunt down and "retire" (kill) escaped replicants on Earth. The plot focuses on a brutal and cunning group of replicants hiding in Los Angeles and a semi-retired blade runner, Rick Deckard (Ford), who reluctantly agrees to take on one more assignment.
Blade Runner initially polarized critics; some were displeased with the pacing, while others enjoyed its thematic complexity.[1] The film performed poorly in North American theaters but achieved success overseas. Despite poor early ticket sales, it has since become a cult classic. Blade Runner has been hailed for its production design, one said to depict a "retrofitted future". The film is credited with prefiguring important concerns of the 21st century, such as globalization and genetic engineering. It remains a leading example of cyberpunk and neo-noir. Blade Runner brought author Philip K. Dick to the attention of Hollywood and several films have since been made from his writings. Ridley Scott regards Blade Runner as his "most complete and personal film."

Rachael
Rachael is the latest experiment of Eldon Tyrell. There is a problem with his more recent, advanced Nexus 6 Replicants - they start to develop their own emotions. The other replicants we see provide plenty of evidence that this is true. They then start to rebel against being slaves. Tyrell believes that this is because they have no framework within which to deal with their new emotions. Thus, if he can gift them with memories, they will cope with situation better and therefore be a better product.
Rachael has the implanted memories of Tyrell's niece, and she is led to believe that she is human. We do not know how long she has been living, but Tyrell admits that he thinks she was beginning to suspect the truth of her existence. While it is not specified what model type Rachael is; it can be inferred from her purpose and actions. She would be Physical Level B as she does not require great strength, and would actually undermine the illusion of being human; as to Mental Level she would be a top level A so that she would be best equipped to process and comprehend the memories given to her.
When Rachael learns the truth, she is ignored by Tyrell. In desperation, she turns to Deckard, who has been told by Captain Bryant to terminate her. He eventually falls in love with her. Many possibilities exist in interpreting their relationship. Some of interpretations depend on whether or not one believes Deckard is a Replicant himself.
Both of them are allowed to live: Roy saves Deckard from falling off a building, and Gaff does not kill Rachael. Gaff leaves his calling card, a foil unicorn, at Deckard's apartment to show he's been there.
Sean Young was the love interest of the star character in "Blade Runner," "Fire Birds," and "Dune."

USS Cole (DDG 67)
Commissioned: June 8, 1996
USS COLE's Commanding Officers:
June 8, 1996 - 1997 Commander Stewart O'Bryan, USN
About the Ship’s Name, about Sergeant Darrell Samuel Cole:
On August 25 ,1941, Cole enlisted in the Marine Corps for the duration of the National Emergency, and following a boot training at Parris Island, South Carolina, he was appointed to the Field Music School for training as a Marine Corps Field Music, the equivalent of a bugler. Completing instruction, he was transferred to the First Marine Regiment, First Marine Division, and on August 7, 1942, reached the shores of Guadalcanal for the first American offensive of World War II.
Not too happy in his role of field music when he had joined a fighting outfit to fight and after acquitting himself meritoriously as a machine gunner in the absence of the regular gunner, he applied for a change in rating, but was refused due to the shortage of buglers. Cole completed his first overseas tour of duty and returned to the United States in February 1943, where he joined First Battalion, Twenty-Third Marines, then forming as a part of the Fourth Marine Division at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. When the unit moved to California he again asked for relief as a Field Music and for permission to perform line duties, but was again refused due to the shortage of buglers in the Marine Corps.
During the first engagement of the Fourth Division at Roi-Namur in the Kwajalein Atoll, Cole, again forsaking his bugle, went into action as a machine-gunner. Four months later, when the Division stormed ashore at Saipan, he had been assigned to a machine-gun unit. Because of his proven ability in combat, he was designated a machine gun section leader. During the battle when his squad leader was killed, Cole, although wounded, assumed command of the entire squad and acquitted himself in such a manner to be awarded the Bronze Star Medal for "...his resolute leadership, indomitable fighting spirit and tenacious determination in the face of terrific opposition..." , He was also awarded the Purple Heart Medal for wounds received in action.
A few days after the battle of Saipan, Cole, again led his squad ashore in the invasion of the neighboring islands of Tinian, where he continued to live up to his growing reputation as "The Fighting Field Music."

Rosalind Chao
Born September 23, 1957
Chao played Keiko O'Brien (maiden name Ishikawa), a Japanese exo-botanist, in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Keiko is the founder and teacher of a school on DS9's promenade, the wife of engineer Miles O'Brien, and a mother of two.
One of her earliest roles was a bit part as a receptionist in the initial Season 2 episode of The Incredible Hulk, "Married". She also had a role in a two-part episode of The Amazing Spider-Man (TV Series) called "The Chinese Web" (which turned out to be the series finale). In it, she plays Emily Chan, the niece of Min-Lo Chan, a diplomat framed for crimes he didn't commit during World War II. She reluctantly teams with Peter Parker (Spider-Man's civilian identity) to help clear his name. She also ends up being a love interest for Peter after discovering that he was Spider-Man.

Data's Day
Data tries to comprehend human emotions.
Data is excited about his friend Keiko's upcoming wedding to Chief O'Brien, where the android will be giving the bride away. When the bride succumbs to jitters and calls the wedding off, Data applies android logic, and decides that since O'Brien loves Keiko, if calling off the wedding makes her happy it will make O'Brien happy. Of course, the heartbroken groom's reaction to Data's news quickly reflects otherwise. Data's confusion is compounded when Geordi assures him that the wedding will proceed as planned. With this in mind, he attempts to buy a gift for the couple, and encounters Worf, who informs Data that he will have to dance at the wedding. Data has never danced, so he enlists Dr. Crusher's help — after learning from her file that she was once a tap dancing champion.
Picard confronts Mendak, the Romulan commander, with this information and learns that T'Pel is actually a Romulan spy. After a tense standoff, the U.S.S. Enterprise heads home. With the danger now passed, Data approaches Keiko to make amends. She informs him that he did not offend her and that the wedding will continue as planned after all. Data soon walks his friend down the aisle, where she and O'Brien are married by Captain Picard.

"The Perfect Mate" was the 120th episode of the science fiction television series Star Trek: The Next Generation and the 21st episode of the show's fifth season. It was first broadcast on April 27, 1992.
In this episode, Federation Starfleet starship USS Enterprise Captain Jean-Luc Picard develops feelings for a woman destined from childhood for an arranged marriage
So anyway, I think I was captive in North Vietnam more than once, but the worst was at the Hanoi Hilton. I think I actually volunteered to go in there and assess the situation and I stayed in there for a while, possibly for at least 2 months, before I escaped and returned to friendly forces. I have been thinking I escaped at that specific time so I could make it back for the Apollo 16 launch on 4/16/1972, where I was feeling a lot more stressed on that flight than others, bcause I had a very difficult time escaping through hostile territory and they were really plastering me along the way with artillery and mortars. So I think I parachuted from a helicopter, or similar transport, over enemy territory and made it seem I had ejected from a jet and so they threw me in with Stockdale, McCain, and the others. I have been thinking I already knew James Stockdale from before he was captured. One of the reasons I might have gone in there, at the minimum in case we couldn't get them out, was to tell him I had been to the Moon in 1969.
I think about all that when I think of that recent "Lost" episode and why that woman who had escaped the helicopter, according to her, before it crashed, and I wondered how often you would see a helicopter crew person wearing an oxygen mask, especially if they are, presumably, making low-level flights to the island looking for humans on the island.

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: Saturday, May 05, 2007
I have thought for a long time that Tina Mason, from my symbolic and artificial memories, has a distinct resemblance to the actress Bette Davis. She had the same eyes. I think there is a song about her eyes. And it might not be a coincidence that my grandmother - from my artificial and symbolic memory - was named Bettie Davis. It might also not be a coincidence that my grandmother Bettie - in my symbolic and artificial memory - resembles Queen Elizabeth II. Tina's son was named Philip. We stood outside one time - in my artificial and symbolic memories - looking at a comet in the night sky.
Phoebe must be the woman I “remember” from my artificial and symbolic memory that grandma Betty told me she approved of. I have been thinking of that “memory” for a while.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bette_Davis
Bette Davis (April 5, 1908 – October 6, 1989), born Ruth Elizabeth Davis, was a two-time Academy Award-winning American actress of film, television and theatre. Noted for her willingness to play unsympathetic characters, she was highly regarded for her performances in a range of film genres, from contemporary crime melodramas to historical and period films and occasional comedies, though her greatest successes were romantic dramas.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Private_Lives_of_Elizabeth_and_Essex
The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (1939) is a romantic drama film based on the relationship between Queen Elizabeth I (played by Bette Davis) and Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex (played by Errol Flynn).
From what I can tell by my research on the internet, there isn’t even a house where I “remember” living at Country Club Estates in South Carolina. The street address that I remember” seems to an empty, wooded lot. I do see the house I “remember” living in, but it is well down the street and at a very different street address. There is just no way I could not remember the correct address for that house. It is burned into my memory.
In my artificial and symbolic memory, I lived there when I worked for a company with the initials UFP. This all on the work history documents I got from the Social Security Administration so it is part of my official federal undercover identity. I think UFP was chosen to symbolize the “United Federation of Planets” from “Star Trek.” Before I worked for UFP, I worked for ISA-ISS in Memphis, Tennessee and I believe that is a similar work of symbolism. While I have never heard of an “International Space Agency,” the ISS could be a reference to the International Space Station.
At one point, sometime in 1995, I think, according to my artificial memories, UFP transferred me to Charlotte, NC, to work in a bank there and I lived in an apartment named Arrowood at corner of Arrowcreek and Royal Point. From there, I moved across town to an apartment on Dresden that was near Sheffield. Then I moved back across town to Whitehall Estates. That was the last place I lived in North Carolina, until I moved to Rock Hill, SC. I lived at Paces River apartments in Rock Hill before I left for Microsoft to begin my work there with my undercover identity. Lately, I have been wondering if that is some kind of symbolic reference to my wife, Phoebe Ray.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_of_Whitehall
The Palace of Whitehall was the main residence of the English monarchs in London from 1530 until 1698 when all except Inigo Jones' 1622 Banqueting House was destroyed by fire. Before the fire it had grown to be the largest palace in Europe, with over 1,500 rooms (and was at one time the largest building in the world).
The palace gives its name — Whitehall — to the current administrative centre of the UK government.

Just call Dame Helen Mirren Your Majesty on-screen
She plays the 16th-century queen in the two-part miniseries "Elizabeth I," premiering on HBO Saturday at 8 p.m. Later this year, she'll be seen as the current Elizabeth II in the feature film "The Queen," which takes place in the days following Princess Diana's death.
Scripted by Nigel Williams, the miniseries uses many of the intellectual monarch's own words. England's Palace of Whitehall was re-created in Lithuania inside a Soviet-era concrete gymnasium.
"It was this amazing set, all in one piece so you could walk from one room to another," said Mirren, describing the juxtaposition of the private and the public -- the "almost erotic" atmosphere of the queen's bedroom being right next to the political council chamber.
She also has great praise for the costumes, designed by Mike O'Neill.
"The older she got, the more extreme they got and the lower cut. Funnily enough, there's a lot of talk about her baring her bosom," laughed Mirren, who has never shied away from playing nude scenes, but doesn't have to go that far this time.
Elizabeth II wasn't on duty when Mirren was dubbed a dame -- Prince Charles did the honors -- but Mirren once met the monarch briefly at a polo match.
"It was a great place to meet because she was in her element," the actress recalled. "She's very charming. Sparkling. People don't see that. ... She's just not interested in smiling when she doesn't have reason to smile."

"the royals and the press"
December 25, 1992 In the Queen's Christmas message the distress over family turmoil and press revelations is clear: "Like many other families, we have lived through some difficult days this year...It has touched me deeply that so much [support] has come from those of you with troubles of your own. If we can sometimes lift our eyes from our own problems, and focus on those of others it will be at least a step in the right direction."
Afterwards, The Times writes: "What matters is the national sense that something is wrong with the state of the Royal Family, that, while the Monarch remains high in her subjects' esteem, the rest of 'the firm'is variously at fault and failing to live and work as it should."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Wales
Thomas C. Wales (1952–2001) was a federal prosecutor and gun control advocate from Seattle, Washington, who was the victim of an unsolved murder.
Wales was born in Boston, Massachusetts. After his graduation from Milton Academy, he went to Harvard University and then to Hofstra Law School, where he graduated with distinction in 1979 and served as the Editor-in-Chief of the Law Review.
He worked as a U.S. Attorney in Seattle and specialized on the investigation and prosecution of fraud in banking and business. As a community volunteer, he was active in civic organizations and served as a trustee of the Federal Bar Association. He was president of an anti-gun organization, Washington CeaseFire ([1]). He died on October 12, 2001, aged 49, one day after having been shot by an unknown subject. He was shot while sitting at a computer in his basement. His murderer apparently shot him and fled through Wales' back yard.
There is an open reward of one million U.S. dollars for information leading to the conclusion of the case.
The Seattle Times reported that in 2006 two homes and vehicles belonging to a man whom Wales had prosecuted were searched by the FBI in further investigation of the murder. The owner of the homes and vehicles was a pilot who, with others, Wales had prosecuted in a fraud case. Charges against the pilot and others were dismissed but the corporation they ran was convicted. The pilot later filed a malicious prosecution claim seeking $125,000 in legal fees but the complaint was dismissed.
In his memory, the Thomas C. Wales Foundation ([2]) was set up to support civil commitment.
In the Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy, media reports suggest that John McKay may have in part been dismissed from his position as United States Attorney for the Western District of Washington due to conflicts with his superiors at the Department of Justice concerning the investigation of Wales murder. [1] One media story asserts that McKay felt "that senior Justice officials were not paying enough attention to the case".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11
The Apollo 11 mission was the first manned mission to land on the Moon. It was the fifth human spaceflight of the Apollo programs, and the third human voyage to the moon. Launched on July 16, 1969, it carried Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin. On July 20, Armstrong and Aldrin became the first humans to land on the Moon, while Collins orbited above.
At 2:56 UTC on July 21, Armstrong made his descent to the Moon's surface and spoke his famous line "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind" exactly six and a half hours after landing.[1] Aldrin joined him, saying, "Beautiful. Beautiful. Magnificent desolation." Then for two-and-a-half hours, they took notes, photographed what they saw, and drilled core samples
As with my 33-34 artistic device for my birthday, some articles note that the Apollo 11 astronauts walked on the Earth's moon on 7/20/1969, while others note it as 7/21/1969. I generally use 7/21/1969, which was UTC. In terms of Eastern Time, it is known publicly that Neil Armstrong stepped on the surface on the Moon at just about 11 PM on 7/20/1969.
Using that Eastern Time as the basis, I calculate that Neil Armstrong stepped onto the Earth's moon at a point 139.9583333 days after my 10th birthday of 3/3/1969.
So by my calculations, I was 10 years, 3359 hours old at the time known as when Neil Armstrong stepped onto the Earth's moon. I believe that detail was created because I was actually the first human to step onto the Earth's moon, and that is why I have some kind of artificial and symbolic memory that seems to ask me who set up the camera on the Moon that recorded Neil Armstrong stepping on the Moon surface, as some kind of rhetorical question I encoded into my artificial memory. I was only 10 years old at the time, so technically, Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the Moon.
From 3/3/1969 to 7/20/1969 is: 139 days
139 * 24 = 3336 hours
3336 + 23 hrs = 3359 hours

Plot summary for
Princess Caraboo (1994)
Bristol, England, early 19th century. A beautiful young stranger who speaks a weird language is tried for the crime of begging. But when a man claims that he can translate her dialect, it is understood that the woman is a princess from a far away land. She is then welcomed by a family of haughty aristocrats that only wants to heighten their prestige. However, the local reporter is not at all convinced she is what she claims to be and investigates. Is Caraboo really a princess?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Caraboo
Princess Caraboo (1791 - January 4, 1865), a noted impostor, pretended to be from a faraway island and fooled a British town for some time.
In 1821, she had returned to Britain but her act was no longer very successful. She briefly traveled to France and Spain in her guise but soon returned to England and re-married. In September 1828, she was living in Bedminster with the name Mary Burgess and gave birth to a daughter the next year.
The hoax was the basis of the 1994 movie Princess Caraboo, written by John Wells, which added some fictional incidents to the true story.
The two appearances listed for Phoebe on The Late Show with David Letterman were around the time her movie “Princess Caraboo” was in theatres. Her first appearance was just before the movie released and then her second appearance would have been my 36th birthday.

Phoebe Cates ... Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Cronin
This actor portrays Phoebe's husband in "Drop Dead Fred." Those artificial and symbolic memories about the anchor chain of the USS Taylor FFG-50 were when we making a port call to Frederiksted, St. Croix, so that is probably relevant somehow to all this, in that it has something to do with a vacation Phoebe and I went on. The notion is that she is very important to me.

Marsha Mason, according to this information on the internet, was 34 years, 33 weeks, 6 days, old on 11/26/1976. I recognize the date 11/26/1976 as when I landed on the Jupiter moon Callisto after successfully diverting the comet a few months earlier. I assume that my oxygen supply was almost depleted and Callisto was going to be my grave site. I discovered there was water ice, though and I was able to convert it into enough oxygen to make it back to Earth on 4/14/1977.

That 11/9/1985 photo of Diana dancing with John Travolta at a White House party was 3 months, 3 weeks, 3 days, after Phoebe's 22nd birthday. There is also something so familiar about that. I have memories of Jim Shea and his very attractive girlfriend with the black hair, Phyllis, that might be symbolic of that real event. Travolta does kind of resemble Jim Shea in those photos. They are quite similar in appearance, but I think that Jim Shea is more a representation of me in my real life, in certain characteristics.

C31893-10, Princess Diana dancing with John Travolta in the cross hall at the White House. 11/9/85
JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 05/06/07 10:42 AM
In a dream just before I woke up, I was standing in line for a movie. I can remember something about looking at some dime coins in my hand. I was there for the early showing of the movie, but something is confusing about that. I'm not sure if I was there to see the movie, or I just found myself in line for the movie. Then John Travolta was there because I think he owned the theatre. I feel as though I knew him but I couldn't actually remember that I knew him. I think it was before I saw him but after he saw me that he called out to me. I walked over to where he was nearby and he was asking me questions about who I was. He knew who I was but he wanted to see if I knew who I was. I told him I recognize that Thomas Ray might be my real name. He asked my middle name and I told him Allyn and then I spelled it for him as he asked. I can't remember what happened after that. There are thoughts about Phoebe but I am not sure if that was part of the dream or if I was just thinking of how I miss her. It could be that Travolta was telling me that she missed me.

Blade Runner (1982)
Release Date: 25 June 1982 (USA)
Harrison Ford ... Rick Deckard
Sean Young ... Rachael
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_runner
Blade Runner is an influential 1982 cyberpunk, neo noir film directed by Ridley Scott from a screenplay written by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples, which was adapted from the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick. The film features Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James Olmos, Daryl Hannah and Joanna Cassidy.
The film depicts a dystopian Los Angeles in November 2019 in which genetically manufactured beings called replicants, visually indistinguishable from adult humans, are used for dangerous and degrading work in Earth's "off-world colonies." After replicants became illegal on Earth, specialist police units — blade runners — were trained to hunt down and "retire" (kill) escaped replicants on Earth. The plot focuses on a brutal and cunning group of replicants hiding in Los Angeles and a semi-retired blade runner, Rick Deckard (Ford), who reluctantly agrees to take on one more assignment.
Blade Runner initially polarized critics; some were displeased with the pacing, while others enjoyed its thematic complexity.[1] The film performed poorly in North American theaters but achieved success overseas. Despite poor early ticket sales, it has since become a cult classic. Blade Runner has been hailed for its production design, one said to depict a "retrofitted future". The film is credited with prefiguring important concerns of the 21st century, such as globalization and genetic engineering. It remains a leading example of cyberpunk and neo-noir. Blade Runner brought author Philip K. Dick to the attention of Hollywood and several films have since been made from his writings. Ridley Scott regards Blade Runner as his "most complete and personal film."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minor_characters_in_Blade_Runner#Rachael
Rachael
Rachael is the latest experiment of Eldon Tyrell. There is a problem with his more recent, advanced Nexus 6 Replicants - they start to develop their own emotions. The other replicants we see provide plenty of evidence that this is true. They then start to rebel against being slaves. Tyrell believes that this is because they have no framework within which to deal with their new emotions. Thus, if he can gift them with memories, they will cope with situation better and therefore be a better product.
Rachael has the implanted memories of Tyrell's niece, and she is led to believe that she is human. We do not know how long she has been living, but Tyrell admits that he thinks she was beginning to suspect the truth of her existence. While it is not specified what model type Rachael is; it can be inferred from her purpose and actions. She would be Physical Level B as she does not require great strength, and would actually undermine the illusion of being human; as to Mental Level she would be a top level A so that she would be best equipped to process and comprehend the memories given to her.
When Rachael learns the truth, she is ignored by Tyrell. In desperation, she turns to Deckard, who has been told by Captain Bryant to terminate her. He eventually falls in love with her. Many possibilities exist in interpreting their relationship. Some of interpretations depend on whether or not one believes Deckard is a Replicant himself.
Both of them are allowed to live: Roy saves Deckard from falling off a building, and Gaff does not kill Rachael. Gaff leaves his calling card, a foil unicorn, at Deckard's apartment to show he's been there.
Sean Young was the love interest of the star character in "Blade Runner," "Fire Birds," and "Dune."

USS Cole (DDG 67)
Commissioned: June 8, 1996
USS COLE's Commanding Officers:
June 8, 1996 - 1997 Commander Stewart O'Bryan, USN
About the Ship’s Name, about Sergeant Darrell Samuel Cole:
On August 25 ,1941, Cole enlisted in the Marine Corps for the duration of the National Emergency, and following a boot training at Parris Island, South Carolina, he was appointed to the Field Music School for training as a Marine Corps Field Music, the equivalent of a bugler. Completing instruction, he was transferred to the First Marine Regiment, First Marine Division, and on August 7, 1942, reached the shores of Guadalcanal for the first American offensive of World War II.
Not too happy in his role of field music when he had joined a fighting outfit to fight and after acquitting himself meritoriously as a machine gunner in the absence of the regular gunner, he applied for a change in rating, but was refused due to the shortage of buglers. Cole completed his first overseas tour of duty and returned to the United States in February 1943, where he joined First Battalion, Twenty-Third Marines, then forming as a part of the Fourth Marine Division at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. When the unit moved to California he again asked for relief as a Field Music and for permission to perform line duties, but was again refused due to the shortage of buglers in the Marine Corps.
During the first engagement of the Fourth Division at Roi-Namur in the Kwajalein Atoll, Cole, again forsaking his bugle, went into action as a machine-gunner. Four months later, when the Division stormed ashore at Saipan, he had been assigned to a machine-gun unit. Because of his proven ability in combat, he was designated a machine gun section leader. During the battle when his squad leader was killed, Cole, although wounded, assumed command of the entire squad and acquitted himself in such a manner to be awarded the Bronze Star Medal for "...his resolute leadership, indomitable fighting spirit and tenacious determination in the face of terrific opposition..." , He was also awarded the Purple Heart Medal for wounds received in action.
A few days after the battle of Saipan, Cole, again led his squad ashore in the invasion of the neighboring islands of Tinian, where he continued to live up to his growing reputation as "The Fighting Field Music."

Born September 23, 1957
Chao played Keiko O'Brien (maiden name Ishikawa), a Japanese exo-botanist, in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Keiko is the founder and teacher of a school on DS9's promenade, the wife of engineer Miles O'Brien, and a mother of two.
One of her earliest roles was a bit part as a receptionist in the initial Season 2 episode of The Incredible Hulk, "Married". She also had a role in a two-part episode of The Amazing Spider-Man (TV Series) called "The Chinese Web" (which turned out to be the series finale). In it, she plays Emily Chan, the niece of Min-Lo Chan, a diplomat framed for crimes he didn't commit during World War II. She reluctantly teams with Peter Parker (Spider-Man's civilian identity) to help clear his name. She also ends up being a love interest for Peter after discovering that he was Spider-Man.

Data's Day
Data tries to comprehend human emotions.
Data is excited about his friend Keiko's upcoming wedding to Chief O'Brien, where the android will be giving the bride away. When the bride succumbs to jitters and calls the wedding off, Data applies android logic, and decides that since O'Brien loves Keiko, if calling off the wedding makes her happy it will make O'Brien happy. Of course, the heartbroken groom's reaction to Data's news quickly reflects otherwise. Data's confusion is compounded when Geordi assures him that the wedding will proceed as planned. With this in mind, he attempts to buy a gift for the couple, and encounters Worf, who informs Data that he will have to dance at the wedding. Data has never danced, so he enlists Dr. Crusher's help — after learning from her file that she was once a tap dancing champion.
Picard confronts Mendak, the Romulan commander, with this information and learns that T'Pel is actually a Romulan spy. After a tense standoff, the U.S.S. Enterprise heads home. With the danger now passed, Data approaches Keiko to make amends. She informs him that he did not offend her and that the wedding will continue as planned after all. Data soon walks his friend down the aisle, where she and O'Brien are married by Captain Picard.
The day after that "Power Play" episode aired, Phoebe was 343.3 months old.

I have been thinking for a while that San Francisco, California, was chosen as the location of the fictional "Starfleet HQ" in the "Star Trek" franchise because it was also the setting for Clint Eastwood's "Inspector Harry Callahan" character. That detail about "Starfleet HQ" was not established until the 1979 "Star Trek: The Motion Picture," according to information on the internet.

Magnum Force (1973)
Release Date:
25 December 1973 (USA)
There was something else I have thought about from that 1979 movie after I recently watched it on DVD, which I am certain was the first time I had seen it in the past 10 years, but I remembered the movie very well. As the "Starship Enterprise" was leaving the Earth to intercept the "V'Ger" space ship, as "Captain Kirk" orders "departure angle on viewer" and it looked to me they were either going straight up from the Earth's north pole or straight down from the south pole. The reason I thought about that was because of the nature of the sunlight reflecting off the Earth. In their viewscreen, about half of the top of the Earth is reflecting sunlight and I think that if they had been traveling along the ecliptic plane, then the reflecting sunlight would have been on the side of the Earth, assuming they were traveling perpendicular to the Earth and Sun. If they had left orbit along the ecliptic plane and from behind the Earth, relative to the Sun, then they would not have seen any sunlight reflecting from the Earth. If they had left the Earth along the ecliptic and traveled directly towards the Sun, then the Earth would have been fully illuminated by sunlight.
As I have pondered that detail since then, thoughts occurred to me that I probably would have made a similar manuever in my Project Orion space ship as I was leaving Earth in 1975 on my mission to divert the comet. The reason could be because the Project Orion ship is propelled, similar to something out of a "Road Runner" cartoon and something from the "Acme" company in those stories, by detonating nuclear bombs at the stern of the ship. The explosions are precisely timed so that the blast hits a large metal plate on the stern of the ship, which then kicks the ship away from the blast and away from the radiation. The problem is that the radiation and associated effects will still be in the area of the detonation. Space is full of solar radiation as it is, so it is nothing new to space, just in terms of danger to organic life. However, that radiation from that Project Orion pulse propulsion would be different if it drifted to the surface of any planet or moon, leaving the surfaces contaminated. Or so I assume.
That radiation from the Project Orion ship has to go somewhere and indeed the solar wind will be pushing it away from the Sun and out into the solar system. That means if I traveled in a straight line from all those nuclear explosions in my wake, then the solar wind would push all that radiation back to where ever I am traveling to. So I must have traveled well above or below the ecliptic plane to keep that from happening. Essentially, I was leap-frogging my way out into the solar system.
If I understand correctly the nature of the solar wind, then it does not travely solely along the ecliptic plane. Rather, it radiates outward in all directions from the Sun, which means if I was above the ecliptic, then the solar wind would be hitting me from an angle from below me and thus causing the radiation from my Project Orion ship to travel up and out from the ecliptic plane, and the planets orbiting the Sun. And I would be coasting, probably, for half the distance between the planets, I guess, I'm not really sure how far I would have used the pulse drive, but I am certain I would have had to coast into the planets so that means I would not have engaged the nuclear pulse drive as I got near to the planet. My ship was probably large enough that I was able to carry with me a lot of conventional fuel. If what I read on the internet is accurate, then those Project Orion ships were actually more efficient if they had more mass, meaning a larger ship was better than a smaller ship, which is the opposite of the conventional space craft, such as used by NASA today.
All of the conventional space craft we launch will, I assume, travel along the ecliptic plane for several reasons. One is because the shortest distance is a straight line. Another reason might be something I read about space being launched from near the equator because that gives the ship more momentum going away from the Earth. If I have this figured out right, then we are all traveling at 1000 miles per hour while on the surface or the atmosphere, which itself is similar to a blanket. The Project Orion space ship would have enough power, or "power to spare," which is featured prominently in my artificial and symbolic memory, to have to rely on this type of planetary transfer, but I'm not sure. I think these are all important details, but I find it hard to concentrate at a certain point as I am reading about it, such as now as I am writing about this. I want to read more about it, but something makes it hard for me to concentrate and I find that interesting. I have described the sensation before as trying to kick down the door to a room with no walls.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hohmann_transfer_orbit
In astronautics and aerospace engineering, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an orbital maneuver that, under standard assumption, moves a spacecraft from one circular orbit to another using two engine impulses. This maneuver was named after Walter Hohmann, the German scientist who published it in 1925. (See also interplanetary travel.)
Application to interplanetary travel
When used to move a spacecraft from orbiting one planet to orbiting another, the situation becomes somewhat more complex. For example, consider a spacecraft travelling from the Earth to Mars. At the beginning of its journey, the spacecraft will already have a certain velocity associated with its orbit around Earth – this is velocity that will not need to be found when the spacecraft enters the transfer orbit (around the Sun). At the other end, the spacecraft will need a certain velocity to orbit Mars, which will actually be less than the velocity needed to continue orbiting the Sun in the transfer orbit, let alone attempting to orbit the Sun in an Mars-like orbit. Therefore, the spacecraft will have to decelerate and allow Mars' gravity to capture it. Therefore, relatively small amounts of thrust at either end of the trip are all that are needed to arrange the transfer. Note, however, that the alignment of the two planets in their orbits is crucial – the destination planet and the spacecraft must arrive at the same point in their respective orbits around the Sun at the same time, see launch window.
A Hohmann transfer orbit will take a spacecraft from low Earth orbit (LEO) to geosynchronous orbit (GEO) in just over five hours (geostationary transfer orbit), from LEO to the Moon in about 5 days and from the Earth to Mars in about 260 days. However, Hohmann transfers are very slow for trips to more distant points, so when visiting the outer planets it is common to use a gravitational slingshot to increase speed in-flight.

I recognize 9/2/1965 as my first day at Princeton University. I have been thinking also that when Phoebe turned 7 years old on 7/16/1970, I selected her as my future wife, as part of the marriage arrangement process I have been thinking about. If I have this figured out correctly, then it was about me selecting my future wife, who would become a princess in the British royality. I have been wondering, though, if she was already part of a royal house, probably in Japan. I'm not sure if she knew that, though. When I think on this track, I think also of that plot element to "Blade Runner" where I think it was "Decker" that was wondering if "Rachel" knew she was a replicant.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam-12
Adam-12 was a television program which ran from 1968 until 1975 on NBC. The program concentrated on the daily activities of a pair of Los Angeles police officers, veteran Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) and rookie Jim Reed (Kent McCord), and to a lesser extent Sergeant William "Mac" MacDonald (William Boyett). The show was produced by Jack Webb, who also was behind Dragnet and Emergency!. The series was nominally considered a spin-off of Webb's Dragnet 1967, and the Reed and Malloy characters appeared on episodes of the parent program.
The police radio used (the Motorola Motrac/Motran series) is an actual radio used by the LAPD in the 1960s and 1970s, with the call sign KMA-367. Dragnet 1967/1970 also used this same radio. The dispatcher was also a real-life LAPD dispatcher, Shaaron Claridge. Claridge's typical page to Reed and Malloy of "One-Adam-12, One-Adam-12, see the [man/lady/victim] at [address] about a [crime/incident]," along with the response of "One-Adam-12, Roger," became a catch phrase ingrained in American culture, and these same radio procedures are still in use at the LAPD today. Badges used on the show were actual LAPD shields -- LAPD Badge numbers 744 for Malloy and 2430 for Reed -- which were lent (with technical assistance supported by the Los Angeles Board of Police Commissioners) by the Office of the Chief of Police, a practice that began when Dragnet was on television in the 1950s and 1960s.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight_rider
Knight Rider was a popular American television series that ran between September 26, 1982, and August 8, 1986.
In the pilot episode, police officer Michael Arthur Long (played by Larry Anderson) was betrayed and nearly killed by a gunshot wound to the head by an industrial espionage expert named Tanya Walker (Phyllis Davis). A metal plate in Long's skull, the result of a head injury sustained during the Vietnam War, deflected the round, which still inflicted serious facial damage.
Declared dead to the public, his medical care was taken over by the Foundation for Law And Government (FLAG). This part of the story is shown in the pilot, titled "Knight of the Phoenix" in syndication. The symbolism in this title is related to Michael's car, a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the likes of which usually featured a giant decal on the hood depicting the fire bird (the Phoenix). The phoenix traditionally is symbolic of rebirth, and the scene of Long collapsing on the hood foreshadows later events.
FLAG is a private crime-fighting arm of the Knight Foundation, an organization founded by a billionaire philanthropist Wilton Knight. In the context of the pilot, Wilton Knight (Richard Basehart) is dying of an undisclosed illness. Given a new face via facial reconstructive surgery, Long is resurrected as Michael Knight. Together with a high-tech automobile called the Knight Industries Two Thousand (KITT), Michael Knight agrees to carry on Wilton Knight's crusade of aiding the powerless. He usually was given mission objectives by the new director of FLAG, Wilton Knight's longtime friend and confidant, Devon Miles (Edward Mulhare). Michael was selected for his high level of self-defense training, intelligence, law enforcement experience, and his ability and preference to work alone without assistance or back-up.
Michael Knight was a special type of hero, a modern knight who avoided violence whenever possible and generally refrained from using firearms. Although most of Knight's cases were based in Southern California where FLAG was headquartered, the operation was not confined there. He could travel to whatever part of the country where trouble arose; sometimes even crossing borders into Mexico. FLAG also had facilities in Las Vegas and Chicago. FLAG's legal jurisdiction, however, was within the boundaries of the United States. The organization also owned an 18-wheeler that served as a mobile office and also offered technical support for KITT.

Magnum Force (1973)
Release Date:
25 December 1973 (USA)
There was something else I have thought about from that 1979 movie after I recently watched it on DVD, which I am certain was the first time I had seen it in the past 10 years, but I remembered the movie very well. As the "Starship Enterprise" was leaving the Earth to intercept the "V'Ger" space ship, as "Captain Kirk" orders "departure angle on viewer" and it looked to me they were either going straight up from the Earth's north pole or straight down from the south pole. The reason I thought about that was because of the nature of the sunlight reflecting off the Earth. In their viewscreen, about half of the top of the Earth is reflecting sunlight and I think that if they had been traveling along the ecliptic plane, then the reflecting sunlight would have been on the side of the Earth, assuming they were traveling perpendicular to the Earth and Sun. If they had left orbit along the ecliptic plane and from behind the Earth, relative to the Sun, then they would not have seen any sunlight reflecting from the Earth. If they had left the Earth along the ecliptic and traveled directly towards the Sun, then the Earth would have been fully illuminated by sunlight.
As I have pondered that detail since then, thoughts occurred to me that I probably would have made a similar manuever in my Project Orion space ship as I was leaving Earth in 1975 on my mission to divert the comet. The reason could be because the Project Orion ship is propelled, similar to something out of a "Road Runner" cartoon and something from the "Acme" company in those stories, by detonating nuclear bombs at the stern of the ship. The explosions are precisely timed so that the blast hits a large metal plate on the stern of the ship, which then kicks the ship away from the blast and away from the radiation. The problem is that the radiation and associated effects will still be in the area of the detonation. Space is full of solar radiation as it is, so it is nothing new to space, just in terms of danger to organic life. However, that radiation from that Project Orion pulse propulsion would be different if it drifted to the surface of any planet or moon, leaving the surfaces contaminated. Or so I assume.
That radiation from the Project Orion ship has to go somewhere and indeed the solar wind will be pushing it away from the Sun and out into the solar system. That means if I traveled in a straight line from all those nuclear explosions in my wake, then the solar wind would push all that radiation back to where ever I am traveling to. So I must have traveled well above or below the ecliptic plane to keep that from happening. Essentially, I was leap-frogging my way out into the solar system.
If I understand correctly the nature of the solar wind, then it does not travely solely along the ecliptic plane. Rather, it radiates outward in all directions from the Sun, which means if I was above the ecliptic, then the solar wind would be hitting me from an angle from below me and thus causing the radiation from my Project Orion ship to travel up and out from the ecliptic plane, and the planets orbiting the Sun. And I would be coasting, probably, for half the distance between the planets, I guess, I'm not really sure how far I would have used the pulse drive, but I am certain I would have had to coast into the planets so that means I would not have engaged the nuclear pulse drive as I got near to the planet. My ship was probably large enough that I was able to carry with me a lot of conventional fuel. If what I read on the internet is accurate, then those Project Orion ships were actually more efficient if they had more mass, meaning a larger ship was better than a smaller ship, which is the opposite of the conventional space craft, such as used by NASA today.
All of the conventional space craft we launch will, I assume, travel along the ecliptic plane for several reasons. One is because the shortest distance is a straight line. Another reason might be something I read about space being launched from near the equator because that gives the ship more momentum going away from the Earth. If I have this figured out right, then we are all traveling at 1000 miles per hour while on the surface or the atmosphere, which itself is similar to a blanket. The Project Orion space ship would have enough power, or "power to spare," which is featured prominently in my artificial and symbolic memory, to have to rely on this type of planetary transfer, but I'm not sure. I think these are all important details, but I find it hard to concentrate at a certain point as I am reading about it, such as now as I am writing about this.

Milner looks familiar beyond recognition from the series, as though he is related to my family. I have definitely not watched that series in the past 10 years.
Vague memories. I don't know why this piques my interest. Vague memories in the context of my artificial and symbolic memory. They can't be real memories, but why do I "remember" them and why does this episode description remind me of those vague, artificial memories?

Assuming I was the writer for this series, or at least one of the writers, I believe it reflects my military training, which included working with the United States police forces. I probably spent a lot of time riding patrol with Los Angeles police officers. I have artificial and symbolic memories that support that belief.

Hypnosis
It is just simple hypnosis. I do not completely remember because it is not in the best interest of those I protect to completely remember. When I 'remember,' it is because I saw something that I recognize as in the best interest of those I am protecting to remember. This all is probably something I have practiced at for a very long time; a form of zen.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a process in which critical thinking faculties of the mind are bypassed and a type of selective thinking and perception is established. Although some individuals experience an increase in suggestibility and subjective feelings of an altered state of consciousness, this is not true for everyone. In fact, some supposed hypnotic indicators and subjective changes can be achieved without relaxation or a lengthy induction by means of simple suggestion or waking hypnosis, a fact that increases the controversy and misunderstandings around hypnosis and the hypnotic state.
Hyper–suggestibility theory
Currently a more popular theory, it states the subject focuses attention by responding to the suggestion of the hypnotist. As attention is focused and magnified, the hypnotist's words are gradually accepted without the subject carrying any conscious censorship of what is being said. This is not unlike the athlete listening to the last pieces of advice from a coach minutes before an important sport event: Concentration filters out anything that is unimportant and magnifies what is said about what really matters for the subject
Focused attention
Some schools of thought hold that hypnosis as a state is very similar to other states of extreme concentration, where a person becomes oblivious to his or her surroundings while lost in thought. Often suggested as an example is when a driver suddenly finds his or her self much further down the road without any memory of driving the intervening distance (see highway hypnosis), when a person is watching television and focuses so intently on the program that he or she ceases to be aware of the sides of the screen, or when a person is thinking about another subject while reading, then realizes that he or she has read several pages without consciously doing so, or taking in any of the content.
According to state theorists, the act of hypnotizing, is, in effect, the act of deliberately and mechanically inducing a similar state

Plot summary for
"Adam-12"
Log 1: The Impossible Mission (1968)
Pete Malloy, a six year veteran of the L.A.P.D., plans on quitting the force after his partner is killed. However, prior to his handing in his resignation he is to break in rookie officer Jim Reed on his first night on the force. During what would be the first patrol of their seven year partnership the two officers deal with a hysterical woman who thinks her son's salamander has crawled down the back of her dress, a pair of liquor store robbers, a baby in distress and a group of trigger happy teenagers.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam-12
Adam-12 was a television program which ran from 1968 until 1975 on NBC. The program concentrated on the daily activities of a pair of Los Angeles police officers, veteran Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) and rookie Jim Reed (Kent McCord), and to a lesser extent Sergeant William "Mac" MacDonald (William Boyett). The show was produced by Jack Webb, who also was behind Dragnet and Emergency!. The series was nominally considered a spin-off of Webb's Dragnet 1967, and the Reed and Malloy characters appeared on episodes of the parent program.
In the pilot episode, seven-year veteran Malloy is planning to resign from the police department following the death of his partner, who was killed in the line of duty while trying to foil an armed robbery. Malloy is persuaded to stay on and train a new partner: rookie officer Jim Reed, fresh out of the police academy and a two-year stint in the Army. Reed has a lot of potential, but is green and overeager. At the end of the pilot episode, Reed disobeys Malloy's direct order, but succeeds in arresting several armed persons. Malloy yells at him; however, the Division's Watch Commander, Malloy's one-time training officer (played by veteran character actor and voiceover announcer Art Gilmore, who also narrated the openings to the 1955-59 TV series Highway Patrol), reminds Malloy that he was once an eager young rookie, much like Reed. Malloy takes it on himself to mold Reed into one of Los Angeles' "finest," which, as evidenced by later episodes, he does.
Adam-12 episodes centered on Malloy and Reed's maturing skills and relationship as patrol partners, and their shared experiences. Both would be wounded in the line of duty, kidnapped, and held hostage (separately and together), and face disciplinary measures for their mistakes. Car chases and shoot-outs occurred, but with less frequency than in other TV cop series. A typical episode involved Reed and Malloy encountering people and places on their daily patrol beat, with incidents ranging from humorous to deadly serious. Sometimes a common incident or theme is explored throughout the episode, or incidents therein. Other episodes focused on mistakes of rookie, and sometimes more experienced, officers.
A memorable 1970 episode, "Elegy for a Pig," detailed Pete Malloy's earlier relationship with his best friend from the police academy (Officer Tom Porter, played by Mark Goddard), starting from the stormy night that Porter was killed in the line of duty, and going back to their shared experiences as LAPD cadets in the early 60's, before ending with Tom Porter's full-LAPD-honors funeral. Among some of the one-time-only features of this episode were that it used relatively lttle background music, especially over the opening credits (which included a voiceover by Jack Webb) and end credits. There was also no on-screen dialogue in the half-hour, episode, except for Pete Malloy's narration.
In later years (after the 1-A-12 patrol car switches from Plymouth Belvedere to AMC Matador), Reed completed his probationary period, and was granted regular LAPD Officer status, and Malloy was promoted to Field Training Officer ("Officer-3", ranking one step below Sergeant, with two chevrons/star patches on his shirt-sleeves).
In the latter part of the seventh and final season it is strongly implied that Malloy will become the Division's new Patrol Sergeant/Watch Commander, and Reed will attain Detective status, after a successful plainclothes stint in LAPD's Narcotics Division.

Presumed Dead
Originally aired: Tuesday October 26, 1976 on NBC
Captain Charlie Dobson, a naval flyer, has been shot done and presumed lost at sea. He has actually been picked by the Japanese and put through an intensive brainwashing program. He is taken by submarine to just off Vella La Cava. The Japanese tell him they are planting a val bag on the beach with explosives and timers for him to use at a later time. He is then placed in an inflatable raft at sea near Vella La Cava.
Gutterman and Anderson are flying towards a photo recon mission when they spot Dobson and call for the air-sea rescue to pick him up. They continue on to their target, a supposedly deserted island with an old Japanese airstrip. When they approach to shoot the pictures, they come under heavy fire from ground artillery.
Meanwhile, Dobson has been rescued and brought to Vella La Cava. The flight surgeon, Dr. Jerry Corgney, asks Pappy and the Black Sheep to meet Dobson. Pappy knows Dobson from their time in flight school and thinks that Dobson is acting strangely, although he chalks it up to Dobson's ordeal at sea.
Gutterman and Anderson return from their photo recon and check the pictures with Pappy. The airstrip still appears deserted, but Gutterman believes something must be going on there, because it is odd for the enemy to fiercely protect mere jungle. Pappy orders him to fly another photo recon there.
The Black Sheep have a celebration party that evening in the Sheep Pen for Dobson, but he appears uncomfortable and disoriented and leaves abruptly. Pappy goes after him and tries goading him into reacting, but Dobson continues to be aloof and strange. After Pappy leaves, Dobson heads to the beach to the hidden val bag and a radio, where he receives orders from the Japanese on what he is going to do.
Dobson tells the Doctor he wants to go to Espiritos Marcos to continue "his recovery," but the Doctor believes he needs to stay in the hospital on Vella La Cava. Pappy tries to help the Doctor with Dobson.
Gutterman, Anderson, French and Boyle fly the photo recon mission. Anderson and Boyle shoot photos while French and Gutterman fly high cover. Gutterman and French get into a dogfight with Zeros above the island, while Anderson and Boyle encounter heavy artillery fire from the ground.
Dobson again tries to talk the Doctor into letting him go to Espiritos Marcos, but the Doctor refuses, puts Dobson in a jeep and starts off to the hospital. The Doctor mentions he can't let Dobson go to Espiritos anyway, because there is some sort of restriction on flights and personnel that can enter there for the next 24 hours.
These new photos reveal a hidden airstrip full of heavy Japanese bombers with larger fuel tanks. After trying to contact Espiritos with this information, Pappy decides to just break the ban and fly into Espiritos. He and Gutterman then spot the Doctors jeep abandoned on the flight line. They ask Hutch if he knows where the Doctor is, but Hutch doesn't remember seeing the Doctor, only Dobson getting on the regular transport plane bound for Espiritos. The Doctor is then found badly beaten off to the side of the field.
Pappy, Gutterman and 3 other Black Sheep fly to Espiritos, where they are greeted on the airfield by Colonel Laird and some MPs. Laird informs them they violated a general shutdown of the island for a high level staff conference and will be arrested. Pappy convinces Laird bombers are targeting the island, then slips away with the Black Sheep searching for Dobson, who they believe is up to something connected with the staff conference.
Dobson meanwhile has been planting explosives and timers in the bomb shelters, just as the Japanese had brainwashed him to do.
Pappy and the Black Sheep find Dobson's empty val bag, although Gutterman finds and recognizes the explosive material in the bag. They realize Dobson may be targeting the staff conference and head for the bomb shelters. They find Dobson near the shelters and stop him, but realize that he has already planted some devices. Pappy and Gutterman fight their way past some guards to warn the various Generals and Admirals that they are in danger in the shelters. Everyone leaves in time, and as the last people evacuate, some of the set explosives detonate.
Dobson is taken into custody and sent back to the states "to be studied and deconstructed again."
This was the final episode of "Adam-12," where the first part of that series finale aired the previous week.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam-12
Episodes from Adam-12 and Dragnet have been used for training purposes by police academies in the United States, especially when teaching recruits correct handcuffing procedures, as the camera often zoomed in closely when the officers were in the act of handcuffing suspects. As was Jack Webb's practice, other minor facets of day-to-day police practices were also accurately portrayed, from hand signals used by officers to the methods used in field interviews, and even such minor details as routinely locking the doors of the patrol car before leaving it unattended to interview victims or witnesses.
A 1976 doctoral study by Joseph S. Coppolino at New York University concluded that police officers, peace officers and civilians all perceived the portrayals on Adam-12 as realistically reflecting police work. However, the trend between TV and reality sometimes went in reverse. For example, Coppolino noted in his thesis that while it was not customary for police officers to remove their hats while in the patrol car at the time the series began, after Adam-12 aired for a while, this became the habit of most officers. This could be seen as evidence of Marshall McLuhan's media theory that "we create it, then it creates us."

109:41:28 Aldrin: Okay. Now I want to back up and partially close the hatch. (Long Pause) Making sure not to lock it on my way out.
109:41:53 Armstrong: (Laughs) A particularly good thought.
[The hatch can be opened from the outside, if necessary. The reason for almost closing the hatch is, I believe, to prevent radiative cooling of the cabin. Neither Neil or Buzz remembered any specific reason.]
[Armstrong (straight-faced) - "To avoid having somebody say 'Were you born in a barn?'"]
My first "memories," in the context of my artificial and symbolic memory, are of living in a house that Homer Burgess had been using as a barn. I can still "remember" something about a door that Thedia used as a kitchen counter, which is trivial, but yet seems important to note.
There are several scenes I can visualize in that house. One is of the sunlight streaming in through a door in the kitchen, which I guess was because that was the door Thedia was using as the kitchen counter. Another was of my father, Joseph, stepping on my toes as I was standing behind him as he was kissing my mother goodbye as he went to work. Another was of when we were moving out and the details seem trivial.

Chechaquo
This is an excerpt from To Build A Fire that made an impression with me early on and has felt especially relevant for the past few years:
But all this--the mysterious, far-reaching hairline trail, the absence of sun from the sky, the tremendous cold, and the strangeness and weirdness of it all--made no impression on the man. It was not because he was long used to it. He was a new-comer in the land, a chechaquo, and this was his first winter. The trouble with him was that he was without imagination. He was quick and alert in the things of life, but only in the things, and not in the significances. Fifty degrees below zero meant eighty odd degrees of frost. Such fact impressed him as being cold and uncomfortable, and that was all. It did not lead him to meditate upon his frailty as a creature of temperature, and upon man's frailty in general, able only to live within certain narrow limits of heat and cold; and from there on it did not lead him to the conjectural field of immortality and man's place in the universe. Fifty degrees below zero stood for a bite of frost that hurt and that must be guarded against by the use of mittens, ear-flaps, warm moccasins, and thick socks. Fifty degrees below zero was to him just precisely fifty degrees below zero. That there should be anything more to it than that was a thought that never entered his head.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innsbruck
Innsbruck is a city in western Austria, and the capital of the federal state of Tyrol. It is located in the Inn valley at the junction with the Wipptal (Sill River) which provides access to the Brennerpass, some 30 km south of Innsbruck. Located in the broad valley between high mountains, the Nordkette (Hafelekar, 2,334 m) in the north, Patscherkofel (2,246 m) and Serles (2,718 m) in the south, it is an internationally renowned winter sports centre. The name translated means the bridge over the Inn (Brücke=bridge)
Earliest traces suggest initial inhabitation in the early Stone Age. Pre-Roman place names show that the area has been populated continuously. In the 4th Century the Romans established the army station Veldidena (the name survives in todays urban district Wilten) to protect the economically important commercial road from Verona-Brenner-Augsburg. This road was destroyed during the Völkerwanderung in the 4th century. The first mention of Innsbruck dates back to 1187 (Oeni Pontum or oeni pons which is Latin for bridge (pons) over the inn (oenus)), which was an important crossing point over the river Inn. The city's seal and coat of arms show a bird's-eye view of the Inn bridge, a design used since 1267. The route over the Brenner Pass was then a major transport and communications link between the north and the south, and the easiest route across the Alps. The revenues generated by serving as a transit station enabled the city to flourish.
Innsbruck became the capital of all Tyrol in 1429 and later in 15th century the city became a centre of European politics and culture as emperor Maximilian I moved the imperial court to Innsbruck in the 1490s.
The movie premiered on Friday, 10/1/1993. The following Wednesday, 10/6/1993, I was 34.59 years old. I have been thinking that I was on the gold-medal winning Canada bobsled team at the 1964 Innsbruck, although my first gold medal was the Luge and I am assuming that I raced under the guise of the unified German Olympic team. I don't actually remember any of that in the conventional sense but I assume I have these thoughts for a reason.
I was only 4.9 years old when that Innsbruck Olympics occurred, but thoughts have occurred to me that by the time I was 5 years old, I already had the mental capactity of a 20 year old. I don't remember that, but the thoughts occur to me. Other thoughts that the doctors thought I was autistic for a couple years, but then they realized I was highly intelligent for my age. I believe it was my performance in this Olympic event that got me into the space program. I don't remember any of that though and it feels as though I am just speculating.

Cool Runnings (1993) .... Irving 'Irv' Blitzer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_Runnings
Release date(s) October 1, 1993
Cool Runnings is a 1993 comedy film directed by Jon Turteltaub. It is loosely based on the exploits of the Jamaican Bobsled Team at Calgary, Alberta in the 1988 Winter Olympics. It stars Leon Robinson, Doug E. Doug, Malik Yoba, Rawle D. Lewis and John Candy. It is currently out on DVD.
Irving Blitzer (Candy) is an American bobsled double gold medallist at the 1968 Winter Olympics, who finished first in two events again in 1972 but was disqualified for cheating and retired in disgrace to Jamaica, where he leads a destitute life as a bookie. He is approached by top 100 m runner Derice Bannock (Leon) and two fellow sprinters (Yoba and Lewis), who had all failed to qualify for the 1988 Summer Olympics when Lewis tripped at the trials, and a pushcart driving champion Sanka (Doug), who all wish to use his previous experience as a coach in order to compete in the Winter Olympics as bobsledders.
The first half of the movie centers on Jamaica and assembling and training the team. After Blizter is convinced to coach the team, the three months of practice begins, initially resulting in embarrassment. However, the four men get used to the sport and make their way to Calgary and the Olympics.
The second half of the movie is the drama of the Olympics, and the fish-out-of-water scenario of the laid-back tropical Jamaicans in both the white-dominated sport and the cold of Calgary winter. The Jamaicans' first day on the track results in, once more, embarrassment, and a last-place finish. The second day would prove better; the Jamaican team finished with an incredible time and put themselves in eighth position. For the first half of the final day's race it looked as though they would break the world bobsled speed record, until tragedy struck; their rickety sled (an old practice sled Blitzer acquired from the US team) fell apart towards the end of their run, leaving them mere meters short of the finish line. However, the team lifted their sled up and walked across the finish line to rousing applause from onlookers, even antagonists such as Junior's father (who proudly bears his a Jamaican bobsled team T-shirt beneath his jacket), Josef Grull (East German driver who had ridiculed the Jamaicans constantly) and one of the members of the Olympic alliance. The team, at the end, feels accomplished enough to return in four years to the next winter Olympics, which they did, though neither they, nor any other team in the world, has ever come close to matching the run in which their sled fell apart.
I found it curious that the guy listed as the gold medalist for the Luge event during the 1964 Winter Olympics was 23.59 years old on 1/29/1964, the first day of that event. I recognize that I use '23' as another method to express '33.' The reason is that '23' is a notion for two 3's, or '3-3." I don't know for certain if this means I raced under his name on the Luge course and subsequently won the gold medal myself, but the thoughts linger. There is also the curious connection of the movie "Cool Runnings" to this Olympic event. He also has the same first name as me. Maybe he is a stand-in for me in all regards concerning Olympic activities, or he is an Olympic athlete himself that I substituted for. I don't know. But I am quite certain this is all why I started seeing chatter on a triathlon internet forum back in 2002 about racers competing under other people's names.
Another problem with understanding Thomas Kohler is that he won gold medals in the 1968 Olympics and the German teams were not unified in 1968 as they were in 1964. I doubt I raced for the East German team. That is crazy. I guess I could have though. I don't know. But maybe that wasn't me. He didn't win the gold medal in the Luge singles. It was Schmid with the Austrian team and Kohler got the silver in the singles. Kohler did get the gold in the doubles. I've seen Manfred Schmid's birthdate show up recently but I can't remember where now. According to information I found on the internet, he was 23 years, 35 weeks, old when the 1968 Winter Olympic began. Not sure of that means anything relevant to me.

Thomas Köhler (born June 25, 1940) was an East German luger who competed during the 1960s. He won three Winter Olympic medals in men's luge with two golds (Singles: 1964, Doubles: 1968) and one silver (Singles: 1968).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manfred_Schmid
Manfred Schmid (born June 6, 1944) was an Austrian luger who competed from the mid 1960s to the mid 1970s. Competing in four Winter Olympics, he won two medals at Grenoble in 1968 with a gold in the men's singles event and a silver in the men's doubles event.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1964_Winter_Olympics
The 1964 Winter Olympics, officially known as the IX Olympic Winter Games, were celebrated in Innsbruck, Austria, from January 29 to February 9, 1964. The games included 1091 athletes from 36 nations, and the Olympic Torch was carried by Joseph Rieder, [1] a former alpine skier who had participated in the 1956 Winter Olympics.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Winter_Olympics
The 1968 Winter Olympics, officially known as the X Olympic Winter Games, were celebrated in 1968 Grenoble, France and opened on February 6. Thirty-seven countries participated. Norway won the most medals, the first time a country other than the USSR had done so since the USSR first entered the Winter Games in 1956.
The date 2/5/1964 shows up again here with the second actor who portrayed "Dr. Zee." I think he was actually the first one that series before he was replaced with Stuart, probably because his name was similar to Patrick Stewart. I think it was the movie "Cool Runnings" where I found the date 2/5/1964. My theory is that it has something to do with my participation in the 1964 Winter Olympics at Innsbruck. The date range for that event was 1/29/1964 to 2/9/1964. I would imagine that this casting selection was made to specifically point to the date 2/5/1964, where the movie "Cool Runnings" might have just been to get within that date range. Or so I assume. I believe I made these casting choices, but I don't actually remember any of it. This character "Dr. Zee" is important to my real identity, though, as I believe it has a direct bearing on my life, although I can't remember any specifics.

Robbie Rist
Date of Birth: 4 April 1964
"Galactica 1980" .... Dr. Zee (3 episodes, 1980)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Zee
Doctor Zee was a recurring character in the short lived science fiction series Galactica 1980.
The role of Doctor Zee was portrayed by two actors. In the first three hours of Galactica 1980, child actor Robbie Rist, known also as the Cousin Oliver in the Brady Bunch, played Zee. Rist appeared in Galactica Discovers Earth Parts 1 through 3.
Later, when Galactica 1980 was picked up as a continuing series, another young actor named Patrick Stuart took on the role. Stuart appeared in the subsequent episodes including Superscouts parts 1 and 2, Spaceball, Space Croppers, The Night the Cylons Landed parts 1 and 2 and The Return of Starbuck.
Doctor Zee is a child prodigy of about 12 years of age, and appears to be the most intelligent being in the fleet. He was born during the period of time between the time of the original Battlestar Galactica series, and when the Galactica found Earth - roughly around 1968. His origin is not explained at the start of the series, but he is soon introduced as a scientific wiz who has great influence on Commander Adama and the Council of the Twelve.
It is Zee who convinces Adama not to attempt contact with humanity, as the nations of Earth are not unified and are ill equipped to resist the Cylons should they follow the Fleet to the Solar System.
Zee is also responsible for creating most of the gizmos that are used throughout the series. Zee is the mind behind the invisibility screen, as well as the method of time travel first employed by the renegade Xavier. Zee is an expert on any topic he is consulted on, including sociology, history and agriculture. Later in the series he creates an anti-gravity craft that resembles a UFO (Space Croppers)
Not everyone in the Fleet is comfortable with so much authority having been given to a boy, and Xavier expressed this view from time to time.
At the end of the series in The Return of Starbuck, we finally learn the origin of Doctor Zee. He is the godson of Lieutenant Starbuck and was born on a planet where Starbuck was stranded years ago. While on that remote planet, Starbuck was visited by Angela, who may have been from the race that created the Ship of Lights previously seen on the original series in War of the Gods. (This race was never named onscreen, but were referred to in the scripts as the Seraphs) Angela gave birth to Zee, and Starbuck sent Angela and Zee off to rendezvous with the Fleet in a small escape pod that was too small to carry him. Angela herself disappeared, and did not accompany Zee all the way to the Fleet. Although Adama confirms this information, much of Zee's origin remains a mystery.

Plot summary for
"Adam-12"
Log 1: The Impossible Mission (1968)
Pete Malloy, a six year veteran of the L.A.P.D., plans on quitting the force after his partner is killed. However, prior to his handing in his resignation he is to break in rookie officer Jim Reed on his first night on the force. During what would be the first patrol of their seven year partnership the two officers deal with a hysterical woman who thinks her son's salamander has crawled down the back of her dress, a pair of liquor store robbers, a baby in distress and a group of trigger happy teenagers.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam-12
Adam-12 was a television program which ran from 1968 until 1975 on NBC. The program concentrated on the daily activities of a pair of Los Angeles police officers, veteran Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) and rookie Jim Reed (Kent McCord), and to a lesser extent Sergeant William "Mac" MacDonald (William Boyett). The show was produced by Jack Webb, who also was behind Dragnet and Emergency!. The series was nominally considered a spin-off of Webb's Dragnet 1967, and the Reed and Malloy characters appeared on episodes of the parent program.
In the pilot episode, seven-year veteran Malloy is planning to resign from the police department following the death of his partner, who was killed in the line of duty while trying to foil an armed robbery. Malloy is persuaded to stay on and train a new partner: rookie officer Jim Reed, fresh out of the police academy and a two-year stint in the Army. Reed has a lot of potential, but is green and overeager. At the end of the pilot episode, Reed disobeys Malloy's direct order, but succeeds in arresting several armed persons. Malloy yells at him; however, the Division's Watch Commander, Malloy's one-time training officer (played by veteran character actor and voiceover announcer Art Gilmore, who also narrated the openings to the 1955-59 TV series Highway Patrol), reminds Malloy that he was once an eager young rookie, much like Reed. Malloy takes it on himself to mold Reed into one of Los Angeles' "finest," which, as evidenced by later episodes, he does.
Adam-12 episodes centered on Malloy and Reed's maturing skills and relationship as patrol partners, and their shared experiences. Both would be wounded in the line of duty, kidnapped, and held hostage (separately and together), and face disciplinary measures for their mistakes. Car chases and shoot-outs occurred, but with less frequency than in other TV cop series. A typical episode involved Reed and Malloy encountering people and places on their daily patrol beat, with incidents ranging from humorous to deadly serious. Sometimes a common incident or theme is explored throughout the episode, or incidents therein. Other episodes focused on mistakes of rookie, and sometimes more experienced, officers.
A memorable 1970 episode, "Elegy for a Pig," detailed Pete Malloy's earlier relationship with his best friend from the police academy (Officer Tom Porter, played by Mark Goddard), starting from the stormy night that Porter was killed in the line of duty, and going back to their shared experiences as LAPD cadets in the early 60's, before ending with Tom Porter's full-LAPD-honors funeral. Among some of the one-time-only features of this episode were that it used relatively lttle background music, especially over the opening credits (which included a voiceover by Jack Webb) and end credits. There was also no on-screen dialogue in the half-hour, episode, except for Pete Malloy's narration.
In later years (after the 1-A-12 patrol car switches from Plymouth Belvedere to AMC Matador), Reed completed his probationary period, and was granted regular LAPD Officer status, and Malloy was promoted to Field Training Officer ("Officer-3", ranking one step below Sergeant, with two chevrons/star patches on his shirt-sleeves).
In the latter part of the seventh and final season it is strongly implied that Malloy will become the Division's new Patrol Sergeant/Watch Commander, and Reed will attain Detective status, after a successful plainclothes stint in LAPD's Narcotics Division.

Presumed Dead
Originally aired: Tuesday October 26, 1976 on NBC
Captain Charlie Dobson, a naval flyer, has been shot done and presumed lost at sea. He has actually been picked by the Japanese and put through an intensive brainwashing program. He is taken by submarine to just off Vella La Cava. The Japanese tell him they are planting a val bag on the beach with explosives and timers for him to use at a later time. He is then placed in an inflatable raft at sea near Vella La Cava.
Gutterman and Anderson are flying towards a photo recon mission when they spot Dobson and call for the air-sea rescue to pick him up. They continue on to their target, a supposedly deserted island with an old Japanese airstrip. When they approach to shoot the pictures, they come under heavy fire from ground artillery.
Meanwhile, Dobson has been rescued and brought to Vella La Cava. The flight surgeon, Dr. Jerry Corgney, asks Pappy and the Black Sheep to meet Dobson. Pappy knows Dobson from their time in flight school and thinks that Dobson is acting strangely, although he chalks it up to Dobson's ordeal at sea.
Gutterman and Anderson return from their photo recon and check the pictures with Pappy. The airstrip still appears deserted, but Gutterman believes something must be going on there, because it is odd for the enemy to fiercely protect mere jungle. Pappy orders him to fly another photo recon there.
The Black Sheep have a celebration party that evening in the Sheep Pen for Dobson, but he appears uncomfortable and disoriented and leaves abruptly. Pappy goes after him and tries goading him into reacting, but Dobson continues to be aloof and strange. After Pappy leaves, Dobson heads to the beach to the hidden val bag and a radio, where he receives orders from the Japanese on what he is going to do.
Dobson tells the Doctor he wants to go to Espiritos Marcos to continue "his recovery," but the Doctor believes he needs to stay in the hospital on Vella La Cava. Pappy tries to help the Doctor with Dobson.
Gutterman, Anderson, French and Boyle fly the photo recon mission. Anderson and Boyle shoot photos while French and Gutterman fly high cover. Gutterman and French get into a dogfight with Zeros above the island, while Anderson and Boyle encounter heavy artillery fire from the ground.
Dobson again tries to talk the Doctor into letting him go to Espiritos Marcos, but the Doctor refuses, puts Dobson in a jeep and starts off to the hospital. The Doctor mentions he can't let Dobson go to Espiritos anyway, because there is some sort of restriction on flights and personnel that can enter there for the next 24 hours.
These new photos reveal a hidden airstrip full of heavy Japanese bombers with larger fuel tanks. After trying to contact Espiritos with this information, Pappy decides to just break the ban and fly into Espiritos. He and Gutterman then spot the Doctors jeep abandoned on the flight line. They ask Hutch if he knows where the Doctor is, but Hutch doesn't remember seeing the Doctor, only Dobson getting on the regular transport plane bound for Espiritos. The Doctor is then found badly beaten off to the side of the field.
Pappy, Gutterman and 3 other Black Sheep fly to Espiritos, where they are greeted on the airfield by Colonel Laird and some MPs. Laird informs them they violated a general shutdown of the island for a high level staff conference and will be arrested. Pappy convinces Laird bombers are targeting the island, then slips away with the Black Sheep searching for Dobson, who they believe is up to something connected with the staff conference.
Dobson meanwhile has been planting explosives and timers in the bomb shelters, just as the Japanese had brainwashed him to do.
Pappy and the Black Sheep find Dobson's empty val bag, although Gutterman finds and recognizes the explosive material in the bag. They realize Dobson may be targeting the staff conference and head for the bomb shelters. They find Dobson near the shelters and stop him, but realize that he has already planted some devices. Pappy and Gutterman fight their way past some guards to warn the various Generals and Admirals that they are in danger in the shelters. Everyone leaves in time, and as the last people evacuate, some of the set explosives detonate.
Dobson is taken into custody and sent back to the states "to be studied and deconstructed again."
This was the final episode of "Adam-12," where the first part of that series finale aired the previous week.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam-12
Episodes from Adam-12 and Dragnet have been used for training purposes by police academies in the United States, especially when teaching recruits correct handcuffing procedures, as the camera often zoomed in closely when the officers were in the act of handcuffing suspects. As was Jack Webb's practice, other minor facets of day-to-day police practices were also accurately portrayed, from hand signals used by officers to the methods used in field interviews, and even such minor details as routinely locking the doors of the patrol car before leaving it unattended to interview victims or witnesses.
A 1976 doctoral study by Joseph S. Coppolino at New York University concluded that police officers, peace officers and civilians all perceived the portrayals on Adam-12 as realistically reflecting police work. However, the trend between TV and reality sometimes went in reverse. For example, Coppolino noted in his thesis that while it was not customary for police officers to remove their hats while in the patrol car at the time the series began, after Adam-12 aired for a while, this became the habit of most officers. This could be seen as evidence of Marshall McLuhan's media theory that "we create it, then it creates us."

109:41:28 Aldrin: Okay. Now I want to back up and partially close the hatch. (Long Pause) Making sure not to lock it on my way out.
109:41:53 Armstrong: (Laughs) A particularly good thought.
[The hatch can be opened from the outside, if necessary. The reason for almost closing the hatch is, I believe, to prevent radiative cooling of the cabin. Neither Neil or Buzz remembered any specific reason.]
[Armstrong (straight-faced) - "To avoid having somebody say 'Were you born in a barn?'"]
My first "memories," in the context of my artificial and symbolic memory, are of living in a house that Homer Burgess had been using as a barn. I can still "remember" something about a door that Thedia used as a kitchen counter, which is trivial, but yet seems important to note.
There are several scenes I can visualize in that house. One is of the sunlight streaming in through a door in the kitchen, which I guess was because that was the door Thedia was using as the kitchen counter. Another was of my father, Joseph, stepping on my toes as I was standing behind him as he was kissing my mother goodbye as he went to work. Another was of when we were moving out and the details seem trivial.

And when I was writing about Jack London's "To Build A Fire" a while back, does that represent my survival on Callisto? Do I have "memories" of reading that story when I was young because those "memories" are a metaphor for when I figured how to survive on Callisto at Jupiter where the character in London's story did not know how to survive?

Chechaquo
This is an excerpt from To Build A Fire that made an impression with me early on and has felt especially relevant for the past few years:
But all this--the mysterious, far-reaching hairline trail, the absence of sun from the sky, the tremendous cold, and the strangeness and weirdness of it all--made no impression on the man. It was not because he was long used to it. He was a new-comer in the land, a chechaquo, and this was his first winter. The trouble with him was that he was without imagination. He was quick and alert in the things of life, but only in the things, and not in the significances. Fifty degrees below zero meant eighty odd degrees of frost. Such fact impressed him as being cold and uncomfortable, and that was all. It did not lead him to meditate upon his frailty as a creature of temperature, and upon man's frailty in general, able only to live within certain narrow limits of heat and cold; and from there on it did not lead him to the conjectural field of immortality and man's place in the universe. Fifty degrees below zero stood for a bite of frost that hurt and that must be guarded against by the use of mittens, ear-flaps, warm moccasins, and thick socks. Fifty degrees below zero was to him just precisely fifty degrees below zero. That there should be anything more to it than that was a thought that never entered his head.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innsbruck
Innsbruck is a city in western Austria, and the capital of the federal state of Tyrol. It is located in the Inn valley at the junction with the Wipptal (Sill River) which provides access to the Brennerpass, some 30 km south of Innsbruck. Located in the broad valley between high mountains, the Nordkette (Hafelekar, 2,334 m) in the north, Patscherkofel (2,246 m) and Serles (2,718 m) in the south, it is an internationally renowned winter sports centre. The name translated means the bridge over the Inn (Brücke=bridge)
Earliest traces suggest initial inhabitation in the early Stone Age. Pre-Roman place names show that the area has been populated continuously. In the 4th Century the Romans established the army station Veldidena (the name survives in todays urban district Wilten) to protect the economically important commercial road from Verona-Brenner-Augsburg. This road was destroyed during the Völkerwanderung in the 4th century. The first mention of Innsbruck dates back to 1187 (Oeni Pontum or oeni pons which is Latin for bridge (pons) over the inn (oenus)), which was an important crossing point over the river Inn. The city's seal and coat of arms show a bird's-eye view of the Inn bridge, a design used since 1267. The route over the Brenner Pass was then a major transport and communications link between the north and the south, and the easiest route across the Alps. The revenues generated by serving as a transit station enabled the city to flourish.
Innsbruck became the capital of all Tyrol in 1429 and later in 15th century the city became a centre of European politics and culture as emperor Maximilian I moved the imperial court to Innsbruck in the 1490s.
The movie premiered on Friday, 10/1/1993. The following Wednesday, 10/6/1993, I was 34.59 years old. I have been thinking that I was on the gold-medal winning Canada bobsled team at the 1964 Innsbruck, although my first gold medal was the Luge and I am assuming that I raced under the guise of the unified German Olympic team. I don't actually remember any of that in the conventional sense but I assume I have these thoughts for a reason.
I was only 4.9 years old when that Innsbruck Olympics occurred, but thoughts have occurred to me that by the time I was 5 years old, I already had the mental capactity of a 20 year old. I don't remember that, but the thoughts occur to me. Other thoughts that the doctors thought I was autistic for a couple years, but then they realized I was highly intelligent for my age. I believe it was my performance in this Olympic event that got me into the space program. I don't remember any of that though and it feels as though I am just speculating.

Cool Runnings (1993) .... Irving 'Irv' Blitzer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_Runnings
Release date(s) October 1, 1993
Cool Runnings is a 1993 comedy film directed by Jon Turteltaub. It is loosely based on the exploits of the Jamaican Bobsled Team at Calgary, Alberta in the 1988 Winter Olympics. It stars Leon Robinson, Doug E. Doug, Malik Yoba, Rawle D. Lewis and John Candy. It is currently out on DVD.
Irving Blitzer (Candy) is an American bobsled double gold medallist at the 1968 Winter Olympics, who finished first in two events again in 1972 but was disqualified for cheating and retired in disgrace to Jamaica, where he leads a destitute life as a bookie. He is approached by top 100 m runner Derice Bannock (Leon) and two fellow sprinters (Yoba and Lewis), who had all failed to qualify for the 1988 Summer Olympics when Lewis tripped at the trials, and a pushcart driving champion Sanka (Doug), who all wish to use his previous experience as a coach in order to compete in the Winter Olympics as bobsledders.
The first half of the movie centers on Jamaica and assembling and training the team. After Blizter is convinced to coach the team, the three months of practice begins, initially resulting in embarrassment. However, the four men get used to the sport and make their way to Calgary and the Olympics.
The second half of the movie is the drama of the Olympics, and the fish-out-of-water scenario of the laid-back tropical Jamaicans in both the white-dominated sport and the cold of Calgary winter. The Jamaicans' first day on the track results in, once more, embarrassment, and a last-place finish. The second day would prove better; the Jamaican team finished with an incredible time and put themselves in eighth position. For the first half of the final day's race it looked as though they would break the world bobsled speed record, until tragedy struck; their rickety sled (an old practice sled Blitzer acquired from the US team) fell apart towards the end of their run, leaving them mere meters short of the finish line. However, the team lifted their sled up and walked across the finish line to rousing applause from onlookers, even antagonists such as Junior's father (who proudly bears his a Jamaican bobsled team T-shirt beneath his jacket), Josef Grull (East German driver who had ridiculed the Jamaicans constantly) and one of the members of the Olympic alliance. The team, at the end, feels accomplished enough to return in four years to the next winter Olympics, which they did, though neither they, nor any other team in the world, has ever come close to matching the run in which their sled fell apart.
I found it curious that the guy listed as the gold medalist for the Luge event during the 1964 Winter Olympics was 23.59 years old on 1/29/1964, the first day of that event. I recognize that I use '23' as another method to express '33.' The reason is that '23' is a notion for two 3's, or '3-3." I don't know for certain if this means I raced under his name on the Luge course and subsequently won the gold medal myself, but the thoughts linger. There is also the curious connection of the movie "Cool Runnings" to this Olympic event. He also has the same first name as me. Maybe he is a stand-in for me in all regards concerning Olympic activities, or he is an Olympic athlete himself that I substituted for. I don't know. But I am quite certain this is all why I started seeing chatter on a triathlon internet forum back in 2002 about racers competing under other people's names.
Another problem with understanding Thomas Kohler is that he won gold medals in the 1968 Olympics and the German teams were not unified in 1968 as they were in 1964. I doubt I raced for the East German team. That is crazy. I guess I could have though. I don't know. But maybe that wasn't me. He didn't win the gold medal in the Luge singles. It was Schmid with the Austrian team and Kohler got the silver in the singles. Kohler did get the gold in the doubles. I've seen Manfred Schmid's birthdate show up recently but I can't remember where now. According to information I found on the internet, he was 23 years, 35 weeks, old when the 1968 Winter Olympic began. Not sure of that means anything relevant to me.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_K%C3%B6hler
Thomas Köhler (born June 25, 1940) was an East German luger who competed during the 1960s. He won three Winter Olympic medals in men's luge with two golds (Singles: 1964, Doubles: 1968) and one silver (Singles: 1968).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manfred_Schmid
Manfred Schmid (born June 6, 1944) was an Austrian luger who competed from the mid 1960s to the mid 1970s. Competing in four Winter Olympics, he won two medals at Grenoble in 1968 with a gold in the men's singles event and a silver in the men's doubles event.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1964_Winter_Olympics
The 1964 Winter Olympics, officially known as the IX Olympic Winter Games, were celebrated in Innsbruck, Austria, from January 29 to February 9, 1964. The games included 1091 athletes from 36 nations, and the Olympic Torch was carried by Joseph Rieder, [1] a former alpine skier who had participated in the 1956 Winter Olympics.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Winter_Olympics
The 1968 Winter Olympics, officially known as the X Olympic Winter Games, were celebrated in 1968 Grenoble, France and opened on February 6. Thirty-seven countries participated. Norway won the most medals, the first time a country other than the USSR had done so since the USSR first entered the Winter Games in 1956.
The date 2/5/1964 shows up again here with the second actor who portrayed "Dr. Zee." I think he was actually the first one that series before he was replaced with Stuart, probably because his name was similar to Patrick Stewart. I think it was the movie "Cool Runnings" where I found the date 2/5/1964. My theory is that it has something to do with my participation in the 1964 Winter Olympics at Innsbruck. The date range for that event was 1/29/1964 to 2/9/1964. I would imagine that this casting selection was made to specifically point to the date 2/5/1964, where the movie "Cool Runnings" might have just been to get within that date range. Or so I assume. I believe I made these casting choices, but I don't actually remember any of it. This character "Dr. Zee" is important to my real identity, though, as I believe it has a direct bearing on my life, although I can't remember any specifics.
From 2/5/1964 to 4/4/1964 is: 59 days

Robbie Rist
Date of Birth: 4 April 1964
"Galactica 1980" .... Dr. Zee (3 episodes, 1980)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Zee
Doctor Zee was a recurring character in the short lived science fiction series Galactica 1980.
The role of Doctor Zee was portrayed by two actors. In the first three hours of Galactica 1980, child actor Robbie Rist, known also as the Cousin Oliver in the Brady Bunch, played Zee. Rist appeared in Galactica Discovers Earth Parts 1 through 3.
Later, when Galactica 1980 was picked up as a continuing series, another young actor named Patrick Stuart took on the role. Stuart appeared in the subsequent episodes including Superscouts parts 1 and 2, Spaceball, Space Croppers, The Night the Cylons Landed parts 1 and 2 and The Return of Starbuck.
Doctor Zee is a child prodigy of about 12 years of age, and appears to be the most intelligent being in the fleet. He was born during the period of time between the time of the original Battlestar Galactica series, and when the Galactica found Earth - roughly around 1968. His origin is not explained at the start of the series, but he is soon introduced as a scientific wiz who has great influence on Commander Adama and the Council of the Twelve.
It is Zee who convinces Adama not to attempt contact with humanity, as the nations of Earth are not unified and are ill equipped to resist the Cylons should they follow the Fleet to the Solar System.
Zee is also responsible for creating most of the gizmos that are used throughout the series. Zee is the mind behind the invisibility screen, as well as the method of time travel first employed by the renegade Xavier. Zee is an expert on any topic he is consulted on, including sociology, history and agriculture. Later in the series he creates an anti-gravity craft that resembles a UFO (Space Croppers)
Not everyone in the Fleet is comfortable with so much authority having been given to a boy, and Xavier expressed this view from time to time.
At the end of the series in The Return of Starbuck, we finally learn the origin of Doctor Zee. He is the godson of Lieutenant Starbuck and was born on a planet where Starbuck was stranded years ago. While on that remote planet, Starbuck was visited by Angela, who may have been from the race that created the Ship of Lights previously seen on the original series in War of the Gods. (This race was never named onscreen, but were referred to in the scripts as the Seraphs) Angela gave birth to Zee, and Starbuck sent Angela and Zee off to rendezvous with the Fleet in a small escape pod that was too small to carry him. Angela herself disappeared, and did not accompany Zee all the way to the Fleet. Although Adama confirms this information, much of Zee's origin remains a mystery.

Original run September 26, 2001 – May 13, 2005
Star Trek: Enterprise (titled Enterprise prior to season three) is a science fiction television program set in the Star Trek universe which was created by Gene Roddenberry.
The series, which follows the adventures of the pre-Federation Enterprise, premiered on September 26, 2001. Enterprise's pilot episode, "Broken Bow", takes place in 2151: 10 years before the Federation's founding, about halfway between the 21st century events shown in the movie Star Trek: First Contact and the original Star Trek.
Because of low ratings, UPN cancelled Enterprise on February 2, 2005, but allowed the series to complete its fourth season; the final episode aired on May 13, 2005. After a run of four seasons and 98 episodes, it was the first Star Trek series since the original Star Trek to have been canceled by its network rather than finished by its producers.

Broken Bow: Part 1 (2001)
2151. Starfleet has constructed its first vessel that is capable of exploring the universe and the launch of Enterprise is imminent. Then two alien races land in a cornfield near Broken Bow, Oklahoma. A Klingon is being chased by two yellow-skinned creatures. The Klingon gets rid of the two, but not of a farmer, who shoots him with a plasma rifle. Back at Starfleet headquarters the Vulcans, who have been advising and restraining the human race since Dr. Zefram Cochrane invented the plasma engine almost 100 years ago, announce that they will take the Klingon, Klaang, back to his home world Kronos. They urge the humans to postpone the launch of Enterprise. But for the first time Starfleet will not listen to the Vulcans and the decision is made to let Enterprise bring back Klaang. Barely underway Enterprise' systems fail and the ship is entered by the yellow-skinned aliens. Written by Arnoud Tiele (imdb@tiele.nl)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_17
Apollo 17 was the eleventh manned space mission in the NASA Apollo program. It was the first night launch and the final lunar landing mission of the Apollo program.
Launch: December 7, 1972
Landing: December 19, 1972
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Leap
Quantum Leap is an American science fiction television series that ran for 95 episodes from March 1989 to May 1993 on the NBC network. Each episode of the series begins with a spoken introduction which explains the series' premise:
Theorizing that one could time-travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett led an elite group of scientists into the desert, to develop a top-secret project known as Quantum Leap. Pressured to prove his theories or lose funding, Dr. Beckett prematurely stepped into the project accelerator, and vanished...
He awoke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own, and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And so Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next Leap...will be the Leap home...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genesis_%28Quantum_Leap_episode%29
Originally shown on Easter Sunday, 1989, the pilot was a two-hour movie simply known as Quantum Leap. When the show returned for new episodes in September of that year, however, NBC aired a severely edited (90-minute) version of the pilot called "Genesis."
Original airdate 1989-03-26
A man wakes up in a bed, thinking, "I did it!" His next thought is, "Did what?" His name is Tom Stratton. It's 1956. He works for the Air Force flying planes, and he's got a beautiful wife and a nice son. There's just one problem: he's pretty sure that his name's not Tom Stratton, it's Sam. But he can't even remember his last name. In fact, he's also pretty sure that the year shouldn't be 1956. And worst of all, he's never flown a plane in his life. (OK, make that more than one problem.)
Help (such as it is) comes along in the form of a man named Al. There's just one problem with Al: he's not really there. He's just a hologram. And holograms didn't exist back in 1956. And Al has the tendency to walk through invisible doors. Sam -- whoever he is -- is having a very bad day.
Eventually, Al explains to Sam that he's a part of a time-travel experiment from the future. He "leaped" into the past, but somehow wound up as Tom Stratton. But Tom Stratton died when attempting to fly the Mach-2...which, for Sam, is coming up in just a couple of days. If Sam can survive that, he'll change history, Al says, and hopefully "leap" again.
However, the leap doesn't take Sam home, as he hopes. Instead, he winds up as a minor-league baseball player back in 1968, trying to win his last game for his team.
Sam is really fed up with Al, and wants to know whose hairbrain idea this whole project was in the first place. Al tells him: it's Sam himself. Project Quantum Leap was his idea. "If anyone can figure out how to get you home," Al tells Sam, "it's you."

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is a 1982 science fiction film directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Henry Thomas, Drew Barrymore, Dee Wallace and Peter Coyote. It tells the story of Elliott (Thomas), a lonely boy who befriends a benign alien dubbed E.T., that is stranded on Earth. He forms a mental, physical and emotional connection with E.T. and helps the alien find its way home, keeping it out of the government's sight.

I don't know why this is but the commissioning of USS Porter DDG-78 points to my first landing on the planet Mars. The Porter was commissioned on 3/20/1999 and I recognize 4/30/1982 as my commissioning date from the U.S. Naval Academy. I recognize the date 1/21/1976 as when I first landed on the planet Mars.

Appointment of Roger B. Porter as a Member of the President's Commission on White House Fellowships
April 30th, 1982
This actor portrayed "Capt. Troy," who as I recall, was the son of the character "Apollo" from the original series. McCord was 33 years, 3 months, 4 weeks, old on 1/23/1976. I recognize the date 1/21/1976 as when I first landed on the planet Mars and 1/23/1976 was the day I left Mars for the outer solar system. My next stop was the Saturn moon Phoebe and then the comet on 7/2/1976. And who can forget his work with the "Adam-12" television series. I loved that show. But I definitely have not seen it in the past 10 years. I think of that episode where his partner wrecked his patrol car off the side of the road and his radio was damaged but I think he was able to communicate by Morse code on the police radio, which led to someone finding him, as he was trapped in the wrecked police car.

President Ford presented 4 Medals of Honor on 3/4/1976. One was Admiral Stockdale. Another was Thomas R. Norris. The third one was Lance Sijan. This represents something of a death march that started for me after I left Mars as I was heading to the Saturn moon Phoebe for a landing before I intercepted the comet on 7/2/1976. I hit some kind of meteor storm that caused a lot of damage to my Project Orion space ship and I wouldn't have enough oxygen to return to Earth if I continued on my mission as planned. I made the choice to continue to the comet instead of returning to Earth for repairs, which turned out to be the best decision any Earthling has probably ever made.

176 - Remarks on Awarding the Congressional Medal of Honor to Four Members of the Armed Forces.
March 4th, 1976
We are gathered here today to honor four Americans for exceptional military gallantry in the service of our Nation. All four of these men distinguished themselves above and beyond the call of duty. I deeply regret that one of the awards, to the late Captain Lance P. Sijan, of the United States Air Force, is posthumous. The other three, Rear Admiral James P. Stockdale, United States Navy; Colonel George E. Day, United States Air Force; and Lieutenant Thomas R. Norris, United States Naval Reserve, are here with us today.
This is an additional observation I made about the Medal of Honor ceremony dated 3/4/1976 that I think is relevant to me. I find it curious the relationship of these dates I recently found on the internet. The first relationship points to my visit to the planet Mars on 1/21/1976. The second set of dates points to my next stop, which was the Saturn moon Phoebe. The ceremony where U.S. Air Force Captain Lance Sijan was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor was in between my visits to the planet Mars and the Saturn moon Phoebe.

USS Bataan (LHD 5)
Commissioned: September 20, 1997
About the Ship’s Name, about the heroic Defense of the Bataan Peninsula:
Just ten short hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th 1941, Japanese planes again surprised US forces with an attack on Clark Field, the main US air base on the Philippine island of Luzon. Subsequent Japanese landings on Luzon took place on December 10th and 12th, and on December 22, after two weeks of diversionary tactics, a large Japanese invasion force landed at Lingayen Gulf. Japanese General Masaharu Homma, with a contingent of 80 ships and 43,000 troops, waded ashore through both a typhoon and the resistance of US trained Philippine reservists. Homma landed tanks and artillery later that day and began advancing south toward Manila despite the valiant resistance of Major General Jonathan Wainwright's Philippine Scouts.
The USS Wainwright CG-28 that I “remember” being assigned to in my artificial and symbolic was not a namesake for the General Wainwright of that reference for the USS Bataan LHD-5, but it is curious to note the relationship with 4/14/1977:

They call this guy "Ray" in "Mission To Mars." He was 2359 weeks old on 3/3/1976. As I watching this movie again this morning, I noted he was called "Ray" by Cheadle, who was on Mars and he was singing a birthday greeting to another character. I also remember that cheadle is saying something about how Gary Sinise would be standing there with an expression on his face as though he doesn't really understand what is going on, or something like that, was the impression I got when I watched this movie again on television recently. I recognize the date 1/21/1976 as when I first landed on the planet Mars and 1/23/1976 as when I left Mars for Saturn. I am quite certain I went to see this movie in the theatre when it premiered in 2000.

It also included four #1 Hot 100 singles - "Straight Up", "Forever Your Girl", "Cold Hearted", and "Opposites Attract." This ties for second most #1 songs from a single album. "The Way That You Love Me" reached #3 and "Knocked Out" reached #41.

Paula Julie Abdul (born June 19, 1962) is an American television personality, jewelry designer, multi-platinum Grammy-winning singer, and Emmy Award-winning choreographer.In the 1980s, Abdul rose from being a cheerleader for the Los Angeles Lakers NBA basketball team to being a sought-after choreographer at the height of the music video era, then to being a Pop-R&B singer with a string of hits in the late 1980s and early 1990s. According to Abdul, she has sold over 53 million records to date.[1] After her initial period of success, she suffered a series of reverses in her professional and personal life, until she found renewed fame and success in the 2000s as a judge on the highly rated television series American Idol.
Abdul began dance lessons around the age of eight and showed a natural talent for it. She attended Van Nuys High School where she was on the cheerleading squad, and was an honors student. At 15, she received a scholarship to a dance camp near Palm Springs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Luck_of_the_Fryrish
"The Luck of the Fryrish" is the 4th episode in season 3 of Futurama. It originally aired in North America on March 11, 2001. Along with "Jurassic Bark", "The Sting", and "Time Keeps on Slippin'", it is considered one of the most emotionally-charged and moving episodes of the series.
While walking back to the surface access ladder, they happen across a statue that appears to be of Yancy, with the seven-leaf clover in his lapel. Even more disturbing to Fry is the inscription: “Philip J. Fry—First person on Mars”, indicating that Yancy not only stole Fry’s dream, but also his name.
Professor Farnsworth pulls up a biographical movie about “Philip J. Fry,” where the crew learns that after “Yancy” took the clover, he went on to be a millionaire rock star astronaut, and is now buried in Orbiting Meadows National Cemetery with the seven-leaf clover.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_secondary_characters_from_Futurama
Philip J. Fry II (deceased) – Nephew and namesake of Philip J. Fry, Philip J. Fry II owned the seven-leaf clover found by his uncle/great-grandfather in the 1980s. The clover ensured that he was the luckiest man in history. His achievements included a string of top ten hits with his band Leaf 7, a fling with an Icelandic singer-supermodel, and striking oil in the bathroom of the mansion that he won in the lottery. The achievement he’s most famous for, though, is being the first man on Mars. Philip Fry II was named in honor of Fry; based on his accomplishments, his personality seems to be very much like his namesake, however he looks identical to Yancy, his father. This led Fry, finding information about Philip Fry II, to believe Yancy had usurped his identity after he was frozen. Professor Hubert Farnsworth, Fry's great-great-great-...-great-nephew/grandson, is presumably a direct descendant of Philip J. Fry II, since Fry's only sibling was Yancy, and as far as is known Philip J. Fry II was Yancy's only child.

JUPITER'S MOON CALLISTO MAY HIDE SALTY OCEAN
Jupiter's second largest moon, Callisto, may have a liquid ocean tucked under its icy, cratered crust, according to scientists studying data gathered by NASA's Galileo spacecraft.
The Galileo findings, to be published in the Oct. 22 issue of the journal Nature, reveal similarities between Callisto and another of Jupiter's moons, Europa, which has already displayed strong evidence of a subsurface ocean.
"Until now, we thought Callisto was a dead and boring moon, just a hunk of rock and ice," said Dr. Margaret Kivelson, space physics professor at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and principal investigator for Galileo's magnetometer instrument, which measures magnetic fields around Jupiter and its moons. "The new data certainly suggest that something is hidden below Callisto's surface, and that something may very well be a salty ocean."

NEW JUPITER FINDINGS: OXYGEN AT CALLISTO'S SURFACE, SULFUR DIOXIDE SOURCES AT IO
New data from a University of Colorado at Boulder instrument on board the Galileo spacecraft now at Jupiter indicates one of its four large moons, Callisto, has oxygen on its surface and another, Io, continues to emit hot volcanic gases.
Charles Barth, a senior researcher at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics and a member of the CU science team that designed and built the ultraviolet spectrometer flying on Galileo, said hydrogen atoms escaping from Callisto implies the Mercury-sized moon has oxygen locked up in its ice and rocks. In 1996 the CU Galileo team detected evidence of oxygen on the surface of Callisto's neighboring moon, Ganymede.

"Galactica 1980" .... Capt. Troy (10 episodes, 1980)
President Ford presented 4 Medals of Honor on 3/4/1976. One was Admiral Stockdale. Another was Thomas R. Norris. The third one was Lance Sijan. This represents something of a death march that started for me after I left Mars as I was heading to the Saturn moon Phoebe for a landing before I intercepted the comet on 7/2/1976. I hit some kind of meteor storm that caused a lot of damage to my Project Orion space ship and I wouldn't have enough oxygen to return to Earth if I continued on my mission as planned. I made the choice to continue to the comet instead of returning to Earth for repairs, which turned out to be the best decision any Earthling has probably ever made.

176 - Remarks on Awarding the Congressional Medal of Honor to Four Members of the Armed Forces.
March 4th, 1976
We are gathered here today to honor four Americans for exceptional military gallantry in the service of our Nation. All four of these men distinguished themselves above and beyond the call of duty. I deeply regret that one of the awards, to the late Captain Lance P. Sijan, of the United States Air Force, is posthumous. The other three, Rear Admiral James P. Stockdale, United States Navy; Colonel George E. Day, United States Air Force; and Lieutenant Thomas R. Norris, United States Naval Reserve, are here with us today.
This is an additional observation I made about the Medal of Honor ceremony dated 3/4/1976 that I think is relevant to me. I find it curious the relationship of these dates I recently found on the internet. The first relationship points to my visit to the planet Mars on 1/21/1976. The second set of dates points to my next stop, which was the Saturn moon Phoebe. The ceremony where U.S. Air Force Captain Lance Sijan was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor was in between my visits to the planet Mars and the Saturn moon Phoebe.

USS Bataan (LHD 5)
Commissioned: September 20, 1997
About the Ship’s Name, about the heroic Defense of the Bataan Peninsula:
Just ten short hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th 1941, Japanese planes again surprised US forces with an attack on Clark Field, the main US air base on the Philippine island of Luzon. Subsequent Japanese landings on Luzon took place on December 10th and 12th, and on December 22, after two weeks of diversionary tactics, a large Japanese invasion force landed at Lingayen Gulf. Japanese General Masaharu Homma, with a contingent of 80 ships and 43,000 troops, waded ashore through both a typhoon and the resistance of US trained Philippine reservists. Homma landed tanks and artillery later that day and began advancing south toward Manila despite the valiant resistance of Major General Jonathan Wainwright's Philippine Scouts.
The USS Wainwright CG-28 that I “remember” being assigned to in my artificial and symbolic was not a namesake for the General Wainwright of that reference for the USS Bataan LHD-5, but it is curious to note the relationship with 4/14/1977:

They call this guy "Ray" in "Mission To Mars." He was 2359 weeks old on 3/3/1976. As I watching this movie again this morning, I noted he was called "Ray" by Cheadle, who was on Mars and he was singing a birthday greeting to another character. I also remember that cheadle is saying something about how Gary Sinise would be standing there with an expression on his face as though he doesn't really understand what is going on, or something like that, was the impression I got when I watched this movie again on television recently. I recognize the date 1/21/1976 as when I first landed on the planet Mars and 1/23/1976 as when I left Mars for Saturn. I am quite certain I went to see this movie in the theatre when it premiered in 2000.

I recognize the date 5/13/1987 as when I returned from Africa after being shot down by anti-aircraft fire on 2/14/1986. Thoughts of the Sahara Desert make me think of the planet Mars. I don't consciously remember any of this, but I have consistent thoughts about when Phoebe and I reunited in 1987.

Forever Your Girl is the debut album from singer Paula Abdul. It was released on June 13, 1988 and took 62 weeks from its release to hit #1 on the Billboard 200 album sales chart, the longest an album has been on the market before hitting #1. The album became multi-platinum in the spring and summer of 1989 and was eventually certified 7 times Platinum in the US (19.5 million worldwide). It also included four #1 Hot 100 singles - "Straight Up", "Forever Your Girl", "Cold Hearted", and "Opposites Attract." This ties for second most #1 songs from a single album. "The Way That You Love Me" reached #3 and "Knocked Out" reached #41.

Paula Julie Abdul (born June 19, 1962) is an American television personality, jewelry designer, multi-platinum Grammy-winning singer, and Emmy Award-winning choreographer.In the 1980s, Abdul rose from being a cheerleader for the Los Angeles Lakers NBA basketball team to being a sought-after choreographer at the height of the music video era, then to being a Pop-R&B singer with a string of hits in the late 1980s and early 1990s. According to Abdul, she has sold over 53 million records to date.[1] After her initial period of success, she suffered a series of reverses in her professional and personal life, until she found renewed fame and success in the 2000s as a judge on the highly rated television series American Idol.
Abdul began dance lessons around the age of eight and showed a natural talent for it. She attended Van Nuys High School where she was on the cheerleading squad, and was an honors student. At 15, she received a scholarship to a dance camp near Palm Springs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Luck_of_the_Fryrish
"The Luck of the Fryrish" is the 4th episode in season 3 of Futurama. It originally aired in North America on March 11, 2001. Along with "Jurassic Bark", "The Sting", and "Time Keeps on Slippin'", it is considered one of the most emotionally-charged and moving episodes of the series.
While walking back to the surface access ladder, they happen across a statue that appears to be of Yancy, with the seven-leaf clover in his lapel. Even more disturbing to Fry is the inscription: “Philip J. Fry—First person on Mars”, indicating that Yancy not only stole Fry’s dream, but also his name.
Professor Farnsworth pulls up a biographical movie about “Philip J. Fry,” where the crew learns that after “Yancy” took the clover, he went on to be a millionaire rock star astronaut, and is now buried in Orbiting Meadows National Cemetery with the seven-leaf clover.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_secondary_characters_from_Futurama
Philip J. Fry II (deceased) – Nephew and namesake of Philip J. Fry, Philip J. Fry II owned the seven-leaf clover found by his uncle/great-grandfather in the 1980s. The clover ensured that he was the luckiest man in history. His achievements included a string of top ten hits with his band Leaf 7, a fling with an Icelandic singer-supermodel, and striking oil in the bathroom of the mansion that he won in the lottery. The achievement he’s most famous for, though, is being the first man on Mars. Philip Fry II was named in honor of Fry; based on his accomplishments, his personality seems to be very much like his namesake, however he looks identical to Yancy, his father. This led Fry, finding information about Philip Fry II, to believe Yancy had usurped his identity after he was frozen. Professor Hubert Farnsworth, Fry's great-great-great-...-great-nephew/grandson, is presumably a direct descendant of Philip J. Fry II, since Fry's only sibling was Yancy, and as far as is known Philip J. Fry II was Yancy's only child.

JUPITER'S MOON CALLISTO MAY HIDE SALTY OCEAN
Jupiter's second largest moon, Callisto, may have a liquid ocean tucked under its icy, cratered crust, according to scientists studying data gathered by NASA's Galileo spacecraft.
The Galileo findings, to be published in the Oct. 22 issue of the journal Nature, reveal similarities between Callisto and another of Jupiter's moons, Europa, which has already displayed strong evidence of a subsurface ocean.
"Until now, we thought Callisto was a dead and boring moon, just a hunk of rock and ice," said Dr. Margaret Kivelson, space physics professor at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and principal investigator for Galileo's magnetometer instrument, which measures magnetic fields around Jupiter and its moons. "The new data certainly suggest that something is hidden below Callisto's surface, and that something may very well be a salty ocean."

NEW JUPITER FINDINGS: OXYGEN AT CALLISTO'S SURFACE, SULFUR DIOXIDE SOURCES AT IO
New data from a University of Colorado at Boulder instrument on board the Galileo spacecraft now at Jupiter indicates one of its four large moons, Callisto, has oxygen on its surface and another, Io, continues to emit hot volcanic gases.
Charles Barth, a senior researcher at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics and a member of the CU science team that designed and built the ultraviolet spectrometer flying on Galileo, said hydrogen atoms escaping from Callisto implies the Mercury-sized moon has oxygen locked up in its ice and rocks. In 1996 the CU Galileo team detected evidence of oxygen on the surface of Callisto's neighboring moon, Ganymede.

George W. Bush - murderer of Americans, thief, known coward
There is something that has puzzled me about how the U.S. Navy AQD code is similar to the AQ in the Al Qaeda terrorist group.
I sense that is part of the Microsoft-Corbis terrorist set up. I'm not sure about the letter 'D' though. But it could be because the 'D' is the 4th letter of the alphabet. The terrorist group is a real concern for those of us faithfully serving in the U.S. government, unlike George W. Bush and his terrorist accomplices. I believe he and his accomplices have only been helping the Al Qaeda terrorists by promoting their cause. There are probably a lot of extremists who had not heard of Al Qaeda until George W. Bush started preaching about them and then those extremists took up their cause. And George W. Bush was doing all that to deflect attention away from the terrorists in control of Microsoft-Corbis.
In the social security number for my official federal undercover identity, the middle number sequence is '17' which is the number of "Q" in the alphabet. In the primary specialty field of the DD-214 for my official federal undercover identity, subtracting 59 produces the billet code 1130. That means I am a regular commissioned U.S. Navy officer with U.S. Navy SEAL qualification.
In other words, I am a official federal undercover agent with the rank of U.S. Navy Captain (O-6), my billet number is 1130, and my AQD code is QE1 or QF1.

The Defense Intelligence Agency, or DIA, is a major producer and manager of military intelligence for the United States Department of Defense. DIA, designated in 1986 as a Defense Department combat support and intelligence agency, was established in 1961 as a result of a decision by Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara, under president John F. Kennedy . The Department of Defense created DIA with the publication of Directive 5105.21, "Defense Intelligence Agency" on 1 August, effective 1 October 1961.[1] DIA was preceded by the Counter Intelligence Corps. Approximately 11,000 men and women work for DIA worldwide (about 30% are military personnel and about 70% are civilians). The exact numbers and specific budget information are not publicly released due to security considerations. DIA has major operational activities at the Pentagon, the Defense Intelligence Analysis Center (DIAC), Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, D.C., the Armed Forces Medical Intelligence Center (AFMIC) in Fort Detrick, Maryland, and the Missile and Space Intelligence Center (MSIC) in Huntsville, Alabama. DIA is a member of the United States Intelligence Community, reporting to the Director of National Intelligence. The activities of DIA are often compared to Russia's GRU, the UK's Defence Intelligence Staff, and Israel's Aman (IDF).
DIA's mission is to provide timely and objective military intelligence to warfighters, policymakers, and force planners. It is considered to be a member of the Intelligence Community. The director of DIA is the main adviser to the United States Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on matters related to military intelligence. Under the support of the Military Intelligence Board, DIA unifies the Defense Intelligence Community on major issues such as the number of deployed forces, assessments, policy, and resources. To help weapon systems planners and the Defense community, DIA plays a major role in providing intelligence on foreign weapon systems.

Rule of law
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_law
The rule of law is the principle that governmental authority is legitimately exercised only in accordance with written, publicly disclosed laws adopted and enforced in accordance with established procedure. The principle is intended to be a safeguard against arbitrary governance. Samuel Rutherford was one of the first modern authors to give the principle theoretical foundations, in Lex, Rex (1644), and later Montesquieu in The Spirit of the Laws (1748).
In continental European legal thinking, rule of law is associated with a Rechtsstaat. According to Anglo-American thinking, hallmarks of adherence to the rule of law commonly include a clear separation of powers, legal certainty, the principle of legitimate expectation and equality of all before the law.
The contrast between the rule of men and the rule of law is first found in Plato's Statesman and Laws and Aristotle's Politics, where the rule of law implies both obedience to positive law and formal checks and balances on rulers and magistrates.
Thomas Aquinas defined a valid law as being one that
is in keeping with Reason
was established by a proper authority
is for the purpose of achieving good
and was properly communicated to all.
In Commonwealth law, the most famous exposition of the concept of rule of law was laid down by Albert Venn Dicey in his Law of the Constitution.
"The rule of law is a political principle the classic exposition of which is in Dicey Law of the Constitution (10th Edn, 1959) p 187 et seq. Dicey identified three principles which together establish the rule of law: (1) the absolute supremacy or predominance of regular law as opposed to the influence of arbitrary power; (2) equality before the law or the equal subjection of all classes to the ordinary law of the land administered by the ordinary courts; and (3) the law of the constitution is a consequence of the rights of individuals as defined and enforced by the courts."
— Halsbury's Laws of England, Vol: Constitutional Law and Human Rights, paragraph 6, footnote 1
... every official, from the Prime Minister down to a constable or a collector of taxes, is under the same responsibility for every act done without legal justification as any other citizen. The Reports abound with cases in which officials have been brought before the courts, and made, in their personal capacity, liable to punishment, or to the payment of damages, for acts done in their official character but in excess of their lawful authority. [Appointed government officials and politicians, alike] ... and all subordinates, though carrying out the commands of their official superiors, are as responsible for any act which the law does not authorise as is any private and unofficial person.
— Law of the Constitution (London: MacMillan, 9th ed., 1950), 194.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative
Conservatism is a relativistic term used to describe political philosophies that favor traditional values, where "tradition" refers to religious, cultural, or nationally defined beliefs and customs. The term is derived from the Latin, conservare, to conserve; "to keep, guard, observe". Since different cultures have different established values, conservatives in different cultures have different goals. Some conservatives seek to preserve the status quo, while others seek to return to the values of an earlier time, the status quo ante.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Declaration_of_Independence
Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

The Reports abound with cases in which officials have been brought before the courts, and made, in their personal capacity, liable to punishment, or to the payment of damages, for acts done in their official character but in excess of their lawful authority. [Appointed government officials and politicians, alike] ... and all subordinates, though carrying out the commands of their official superiors, are as responsible for any act which the law does not authorise as is any private and unofficial person.
— Law of the Constitution (London: MacMillan, 9th ed., 1950), 194.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative
Conservatism is a relativistic term used to describe political philosophies that favor traditional values, where "tradition" refers to religious, cultural, or nationally defined beliefs and customs. The term is derived from the Latin, conservare, to conserve; "to keep, guard, observe". Since different cultures have different established values, conservatives in different cultures have different goals. Some conservatives seek to preserve the status quo, while others seek to return to the values of an earlier time, the status quo ante.

Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

In the context of my artificial and symbolic memory, I can still "remember" going to see this movie in Charleston, South Carolina. I could probably find on the map the theatre we went to if I try hard enough. I went to see it with Jim Shea and his beautiful girlfriend, Phyllis. They were both from Hollywood, Florida, and Phyllis still lived down there. She worked for SunTrust Bank, I think was the name of the company.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_8
Apollo 8 was the second manned mission of the Apollo space program, in which Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot James Lovell and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders became the first humans to orbit around the Moon. It was also the first manned launch of the Saturn V rocket.
NASA prepared for the mission in only four months. The hardware involved had only been used a few times—the Saturn V had launched only twice before, and the Apollo spacecraft had only just finished its first manned mission, Apollo 7. However, the success of the mission paved the way for the successful completion of U.S. President John F. Kennedy's goal of landing on the Moon before the end of the decade.
After launching on December 21, 1968, the crew took three days to travel to the Moon, which they orbited for 20 hours. While in lunar orbit the crew made a Christmas Eve television broadcast in which they read from the book of Genesis. It was the most watched broadcast to date.

I believe Donald Cook's identity was either completely fabricated or just certain details were changed in support of this prosecution of the insurrection against the United States of America. It is probable Colonel Donald Cook was a real person in the U.S. military, but certain details were changed in order to provide support to my cover identity, which was created to protect my family and for other reasons, such as support against a grave threat to the United States of America.

COLONEL
DONALD G. COOK, USMC
(DECEASED)
Vietnam War 1965-1973
Medal of Honor Recipient
Colonel Donald Gilbert Cook, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for heroism in Vietnam while held prisoner by the Viet Cong from December 1964 to December 1967, was born 9 August 1934, in Brooklyn, New York. He graduated from Xavier High School in June 1952, then attended St. Michael’s College in Winooski, Vermont, where he graduated in 1956.
Shortly after his December 1956 marriage to Miss Laurette A. Giroux at St. Anthony’s Church in Burlington, Vermont, Cook left Vermont for the Officers Candidate School at Marine Corps Schools, Quantico, Virginia, and was commissioned a second lieutenant, 1 April 1957.
He was promoted to first lieutenant 1 October 1958 while stationed at Camp Pendleton, California. In 1960 he attended Army Language School in Monterey, California, studying Chinese and graduated near the top of his class. 1stLt Cook was assigned to Camp H.M. Smith, Hawaii, in 1961 and was promoted to captain 1 March 1962.
In 1964 the Cook family returned to Vermont when Capt Cook was transferred to Okinawa. In December 1964, he was sent to Vietnam where he was captured by the Viet Cong on 31 December 1964 while serving as an advisor with a Vietnamese Marine battalion.
Captain Cook was in the vicinity of Benh Gia, Phouc Tuy Province, Republic of Vietnam, while participating as a Marine advisor to the South Vietnamese, and went to the site of a helicopter crash with a South Vietnamese unit to check for survivors. When the Viet Cong surrounded the area, he was shot in the leg while attempting to assist members of his unit to safety, and was then captured. He continued to receive promotions while interned as a Prisoner of War and his personal valor and exceptional spirit of loyalty during his three years of captivity resulted in his posthumous award of the Medal of Honor.
Mrs. Laurette A. Cook, widow of Colonel Cook, received the Medal of Honor on behalf of her husband 16 May 1980 during ceremonies at the Hall of Heroes in the Pentagon. The Honorable Edward Hidalgo, Secretary of the Navy, presented the Medal to Mrs. Cook while Cook’s parents and four children looked on along with General Robert H. Barrow, Commandant of the Marine Corps
A list of Colonel Cook’s medals and decorations includes: the Medal of Honor, the Purple Heart with one bronze star, the Combat Action Ribbon, the National Defense Service Medal, the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, and the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal.

VIETNAM WAR MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENTS
*COOK, DONALD GILBERT
Rank and organization: Colonel, United States Marine Corps, Prisoner of War by the Viet Cong in the Republic of Vietnam. Place and date: Vietnam, 31 December 1964 to 8 December, 1967. Entered Service at: Brooklyn, New York. Date and place of birth: 9 August 1934, Brooklyn New York. Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while interned as a Prisoner of War by the Viet Cong in the Republic of Vietnam during the period 31 December 1964 to 8 December 1967. Despite the fact that by so doing he would bring about harsher treatment for himself, Colonel (then Captain) Cook established himself as the senior prisoner, even though in actuality he was not. Repeatedly assuming more than his share of their health, Colonel Cook willingly and unselfishly put the interests of his comrades before that of his own well-being and, eventually, his life. Giving more needy men his medicine and drug allowance while constantly nursing them, he risked infection from contagious diseases while in a rapidly deteriorating state of health. This unselfish and exemplary conduct, coupled with his refusal to stray even the slightest from the Code of Conduct, earned him the deepest respect from not only his fellow prisoners, but his captors as well. Rather than negotiate for his own release or better treatment, he steadfastly frustrated attempts by the Viet Cong to break his indomitable spirit. and passed this same resolve on to the men whose well-being he so closely associated himself. Knowing his refusals would prevent his release prior to the end of the war, and also knowing his chances for prolonged survival would be small in the event of continued refusal, he chose nevertheless to adhere to a Code of Conduct far above that which could be expected. His personal valor and exceptional spirit of loyalty in the face of almost certain death reflected the highest credit upon Colonel Cook, the Marine Corps, and the United States Naval Service.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Intelligence_Agency
The Defense Intelligence Agency, or DIA, is a major producer and manager of military intelligence for the United States Department of Defense. DIA, designated in 1986 as a Defense Department combat support and intelligence agency, was established in 1961 as a result of a decision by Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara, under president John F. Kennedy . The Department of Defense created DIA with the publication of Directive 5105.21, "Defense Intelligence Agency" on 1 August, effective 1 October 1961.[1] DIA was preceded by the Counter Intelligence Corps. Approximately 11,000 men and women work for DIA worldwide (about 30% are military personnel and about 70% are civilians). The exact numbers and specific budget information are not publicly released due to security considerations. DIA has major operational activities at the Pentagon, the Defense Intelligence Analysis Center (DIAC), Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, D.C., the Armed Forces Medical Intelligence Center (AFMIC) in Fort Detrick, Maryland, and the Missile and Space Intelligence Center (MSIC) in Huntsville, Alabama. DIA is a member of the United States Intelligence Community, reporting to the Director of National Intelligence. The activities of DIA are often compared to Russia's GRU, the UK's Defence Intelligence Staff, and Israel's Aman (IDF).
DIA's mission is to provide timely and objective military intelligence to warfighters, policymakers, and force planners. It is considered to be a member of the Intelligence Community. The director of DIA is the main adviser to the United States Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on matters related to military intelligence. Under the support of the Military Intelligence Board, DIA unifies the Defense Intelligence Community on major issues such as the number of deployed forces, assessments, policy, and resources. To help weapon systems planners and the Defense community, DIA plays a major role in providing intelligence on foreign weapon systems.
DIA is organized into these primary operational directorates:
Directorate for Human Intelligence (DH): Otherwise knows as Defense HUMINT Service, this directorate manages DIA's and the DoD's human source intelligence collection. This includes the Defense Attache System. Defense HUMINT reportedly controls the Strategic Support Branch, a unit that deploys teams of linguists, field analysts, case officers, interrogation experts, technical specialists, and special forces.
Directorate for MASINT and Technical Collection (DT): Collects measurement and signature intelligence which is any intelligence that does not fit within the definitions of Signals Intelligence, Imagery Intelligence, and Human Intelligence. This often includes radar intelligence, acoustic intelligence, nuclear intelligence, and chemical and biological intelligence. DIA is the central intelligence agency for MASINT collection within the intelligence community.
Directorate for Analysis (DI): Analyzes and disseminates finalized intelligence products for the DIA from all sources as well as from partner Intelligence Community agencies. Analysts focus on the military issues that may arise from political or economic events in foreign countries and also analyze foreign military capabilities, transportation systems, weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), and missile systems and contribute to National Intelligence Estimates and to the President's Daily Brief. The Directorate of Analysis also manages the Armed Forces Medical Intelligence Center and the Missile and Space Intelligence Center. Analysts serve DIA in all of the agency's facilities as well as in the field.
Directorate for Intelligence Joint Staff (J2): Advises and supports the Joint Chiefs of Staff with foreign military intelligence for defense policy and war planning.
Defense Joint Intelligence Operations Center (DJIOC): Fuses tactical, operational, and strategic intelligence assets and serves as the center for coordination of these assets in response to combatant command requirements.
DIA also runs the National Defense Intelligence College.

United States Navy SEALs
The United States Navy Sea, Air and Land (SEAL) forces are the Special Operations Forces of the U.S. Navy, employed in unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, direct action, Counter-Terrorism, hostage rescue, and special reconnaissance operations.
Those qualified to become Navy SEALs are authorized, after completing Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL school (BUD/S) and a specialized program known as SQT (SEAL Qualification Training), to wear and display the Special Warfare Badge, also known as the SEAL Trident. This badge serves as the insignia for the SEALs as a whole and is one of the most recognizable warfare insignia among U.S. Special Operations Forces. It is usually worn along with the U.S. Navy paratrooper wings, which are awarded after 10 jumps. In order to blend in with units they are supporting, Navy SEALS wear modified versions of all service Battle Dress Uniforms (BDUs). However, during the Vietnam War, SEAL members wore 'tiger stripe' camouflage uniforms, often with civilian blue jeans and 'coral' sneakers, for patrol missions.
SEAL ethics
The SEAL code
"Loyalty to Country, Team and Teammate Serve with Honor and Integrity On and Off the Battlefield, Ready to Lead, Ready to Follow, Never Quit, Take responsibility for your actions and the actions of your teammates, Excel as Warriors through Discipline and Innovation, Train for War, Fight to Win, Defeat our Nation’s Enemies, Earn your Trident everyday."
SEAL creed
"In times of war or uncertainty there is a special breed of warrior ready to answer our Nation’s call. A common man with uncommon desire to succeed. Forged by adversity, he stands alongside America’s finest special operations forces to serve his country, the American people, and protect their way of life. I am that man.
My Trident is a symbol of honor and heritage. Bestowed upon me by the heroes that have gone before, it embodies the trust of those I have sworn to protect. By wearing the Trident I accept the responsibility of my chosen profession and way of life. It is a privilege that I must earn every day.
My loyalty to Country and Team is beyond reproach. I humbly serve as a guardian to my fellow Americans always ready to defend those who are unable to defend themselves. I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions. I voluntarily accept the inherent hazards of my profession, placing the welfare and security of others before my own.
I serve with honor on and off the battlefield. The ability to control my emotions and my actions, regardless of circumstance, sets me apart from other men. Uncompromising integrity is my standard. My character and honor are steadfast. My word is my bond.
We expect to lead and be led. In the absence of orders I will take charge, lead my teammates and accomplish the mission. I lead by example in all situations.
I will never quit. I persevere and thrive on adversity. My Nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down, I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.
We demand discipline. We expect innovation. The lives of my teammates and the success of our mission depend on me - my technical skill, tactical proficiency, and attention to detail. My training is never complete.
We train for war and fight to win. I stand ready to bring the full spectrum of combat power to bear in order to achieve my mission and the goals established by my country. The execution of my duties will be swift and violent when required yet guided by the very principles that I serve to defend.
Brave men have fought and died building the proud tradition and feared reputation that I am bound to uphold. In the worst of conditions, the legacy of my teammates steadies my resolve and silently guides my every deed. I will not fail."

I believe Donald Cook's identity was either completely fabricated or just certain details were changed in support of this prosecution of the insurrection against the United States of America. It is probable Colonel Donald Cook was a real person in the U.S. military, but certain details were changed in order to provide support to my cover identity, which was created to protect my family and for other reasons, such as support against a grave threat to the United States of America.

DONALD G. COOK, USMC
(DECEASED)
Vietnam War 1965-1973
Medal of Honor Recipient
Colonel Donald Gilbert Cook, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for heroism in Vietnam while held prisoner by the Viet Cong from December 1964 to December 1967, was born 9 August 1934, in Brooklyn, New York. He graduated from Xavier High School in June 1952, then attended St. Michael’s College in Winooski, Vermont, where he graduated in 1956.
Shortly after his December 1956 marriage to Miss Laurette A. Giroux at St. Anthony’s Church in Burlington, Vermont, Cook left Vermont for the Officers Candidate School at Marine Corps Schools, Quantico, Virginia, and was commissioned a second lieutenant, 1 April 1957.
He was promoted to first lieutenant 1 October 1958 while stationed at Camp Pendleton, California. In 1960 he attended Army Language School in Monterey, California, studying Chinese and graduated near the top of his class. 1stLt Cook was assigned to Camp H.M. Smith, Hawaii, in 1961 and was promoted to captain 1 March 1962.
In 1964 the Cook family returned to Vermont when Capt Cook was transferred to Okinawa. In December 1964, he was sent to Vietnam where he was captured by the Viet Cong on 31 December 1964 while serving as an advisor with a Vietnamese Marine battalion.
Captain Cook was in the vicinity of Benh Gia, Phouc Tuy Province, Republic of Vietnam, while participating as a Marine advisor to the South Vietnamese, and went to the site of a helicopter crash with a South Vietnamese unit to check for survivors. When the Viet Cong surrounded the area, he was shot in the leg while attempting to assist members of his unit to safety, and was then captured. He continued to receive promotions while interned as a Prisoner of War and his personal valor and exceptional spirit of loyalty during his three years of captivity resulted in his posthumous award of the Medal of Honor.
Mrs. Laurette A. Cook, widow of Colonel Cook, received the Medal of Honor on behalf of her husband 16 May 1980 during ceremonies at the Hall of Heroes in the Pentagon. The Honorable Edward Hidalgo, Secretary of the Navy, presented the Medal to Mrs. Cook while Cook’s parents and four children looked on along with General Robert H. Barrow, Commandant of the Marine Corps
A list of Colonel Cook’s medals and decorations includes: the Medal of Honor, the Purple Heart with one bronze star, the Combat Action Ribbon, the National Defense Service Medal, the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, and the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal.

VIETNAM WAR MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENTS
*COOK, DONALD GILBERT
Rank and organization: Colonel, United States Marine Corps, Prisoner of War by the Viet Cong in the Republic of Vietnam. Place and date: Vietnam, 31 December 1964 to 8 December, 1967. Entered Service at: Brooklyn, New York. Date and place of birth: 9 August 1934, Brooklyn New York. Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while interned as a Prisoner of War by the Viet Cong in the Republic of Vietnam during the period 31 December 1964 to 8 December 1967. Despite the fact that by so doing he would bring about harsher treatment for himself, Colonel (then Captain) Cook established himself as the senior prisoner, even though in actuality he was not. Repeatedly assuming more than his share of their health, Colonel Cook willingly and unselfishly put the interests of his comrades before that of his own well-being and, eventually, his life. Giving more needy men his medicine and drug allowance while constantly nursing them, he risked infection from contagious diseases while in a rapidly deteriorating state of health. This unselfish and exemplary conduct, coupled with his refusal to stray even the slightest from the Code of Conduct, earned him the deepest respect from not only his fellow prisoners, but his captors as well. Rather than negotiate for his own release or better treatment, he steadfastly frustrated attempts by the Viet Cong to break his indomitable spirit. and passed this same resolve on to the men whose well-being he so closely associated himself. Knowing his refusals would prevent his release prior to the end of the war, and also knowing his chances for prolonged survival would be small in the event of continued refusal, he chose nevertheless to adhere to a Code of Conduct far above that which could be expected. His personal valor and exceptional spirit of loyalty in the face of almost certain death reflected the highest credit upon Colonel Cook, the Marine Corps, and the United States Naval Service.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Intelligence_Agency
The Defense Intelligence Agency, or DIA, is a major producer and manager of military intelligence for the United States Department of Defense. DIA, designated in 1986 as a Defense Department combat support and intelligence agency, was established in 1961 as a result of a decision by Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara, under president John F. Kennedy . The Department of Defense created DIA with the publication of Directive 5105.21, "Defense Intelligence Agency" on 1 August, effective 1 October 1961.[1] DIA was preceded by the Counter Intelligence Corps. Approximately 11,000 men and women work for DIA worldwide (about 30% are military personnel and about 70% are civilians). The exact numbers and specific budget information are not publicly released due to security considerations. DIA has major operational activities at the Pentagon, the Defense Intelligence Analysis Center (DIAC), Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, D.C., the Armed Forces Medical Intelligence Center (AFMIC) in Fort Detrick, Maryland, and the Missile and Space Intelligence Center (MSIC) in Huntsville, Alabama. DIA is a member of the United States Intelligence Community, reporting to the Director of National Intelligence. The activities of DIA are often compared to Russia's GRU, the UK's Defence Intelligence Staff, and Israel's Aman (IDF).
DIA's mission is to provide timely and objective military intelligence to warfighters, policymakers, and force planners. It is considered to be a member of the Intelligence Community. The director of DIA is the main adviser to the United States Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on matters related to military intelligence. Under the support of the Military Intelligence Board, DIA unifies the Defense Intelligence Community on major issues such as the number of deployed forces, assessments, policy, and resources. To help weapon systems planners and the Defense community, DIA plays a major role in providing intelligence on foreign weapon systems.
DIA is organized into these primary operational directorates:
Directorate for Human Intelligence (DH): Otherwise knows as Defense HUMINT Service, this directorate manages DIA's and the DoD's human source intelligence collection. This includes the Defense Attache System. Defense HUMINT reportedly controls the Strategic Support Branch, a unit that deploys teams of linguists, field analysts, case officers, interrogation experts, technical specialists, and special forces.
Directorate for MASINT and Technical Collection (DT): Collects measurement and signature intelligence which is any intelligence that does not fit within the definitions of Signals Intelligence, Imagery Intelligence, and Human Intelligence. This often includes radar intelligence, acoustic intelligence, nuclear intelligence, and chemical and biological intelligence. DIA is the central intelligence agency for MASINT collection within the intelligence community.
Directorate for Analysis (DI): Analyzes and disseminates finalized intelligence products for the DIA from all sources as well as from partner Intelligence Community agencies. Analysts focus on the military issues that may arise from political or economic events in foreign countries and also analyze foreign military capabilities, transportation systems, weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), and missile systems and contribute to National Intelligence Estimates and to the President's Daily Brief. The Directorate of Analysis also manages the Armed Forces Medical Intelligence Center and the Missile and Space Intelligence Center. Analysts serve DIA in all of the agency's facilities as well as in the field.
Directorate for Intelligence Joint Staff (J2): Advises and supports the Joint Chiefs of Staff with foreign military intelligence for defense policy and war planning.
Defense Joint Intelligence Operations Center (DJIOC): Fuses tactical, operational, and strategic intelligence assets and serves as the center for coordination of these assets in response to combatant command requirements.
DIA also runs the National Defense Intelligence College.

United States Navy SEALs
The United States Navy Sea, Air and Land (SEAL) forces are the Special Operations Forces of the U.S. Navy, employed in unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, direct action, Counter-Terrorism, hostage rescue, and special reconnaissance operations.
Those qualified to become Navy SEALs are authorized, after completing Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL school (BUD/S) and a specialized program known as SQT (SEAL Qualification Training), to wear and display the Special Warfare Badge, also known as the SEAL Trident. This badge serves as the insignia for the SEALs as a whole and is one of the most recognizable warfare insignia among U.S. Special Operations Forces. It is usually worn along with the U.S. Navy paratrooper wings, which are awarded after 10 jumps. In order to blend in with units they are supporting, Navy SEALS wear modified versions of all service Battle Dress Uniforms (BDUs). However, during the Vietnam War, SEAL members wore 'tiger stripe' camouflage uniforms, often with civilian blue jeans and 'coral' sneakers, for patrol missions.
SEAL ethics
The SEAL code
"Loyalty to Country, Team and Teammate Serve with Honor and Integrity On and Off the Battlefield, Ready to Lead, Ready to Follow, Never Quit, Take responsibility for your actions and the actions of your teammates, Excel as Warriors through Discipline and Innovation, Train for War, Fight to Win, Defeat our Nation’s Enemies, Earn your Trident everyday."
SEAL creed
"In times of war or uncertainty there is a special breed of warrior ready to answer our Nation’s call. A common man with uncommon desire to succeed. Forged by adversity, he stands alongside America’s finest special operations forces to serve his country, the American people, and protect their way of life. I am that man.
My Trident is a symbol of honor and heritage. Bestowed upon me by the heroes that have gone before, it embodies the trust of those I have sworn to protect. By wearing the Trident I accept the responsibility of my chosen profession and way of life. It is a privilege that I must earn every day.
My loyalty to Country and Team is beyond reproach. I humbly serve as a guardian to my fellow Americans always ready to defend those who are unable to defend themselves. I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions. I voluntarily accept the inherent hazards of my profession, placing the welfare and security of others before my own.
I serve with honor on and off the battlefield. The ability to control my emotions and my actions, regardless of circumstance, sets me apart from other men. Uncompromising integrity is my standard. My character and honor are steadfast. My word is my bond.
We expect to lead and be led. In the absence of orders I will take charge, lead my teammates and accomplish the mission. I lead by example in all situations.
I will never quit. I persevere and thrive on adversity. My Nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down, I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.
We demand discipline. We expect innovation. The lives of my teammates and the success of our mission depend on me - my technical skill, tactical proficiency, and attention to detail. My training is never complete.
We train for war and fight to win. I stand ready to bring the full spectrum of combat power to bear in order to achieve my mission and the goals established by my country. The execution of my duties will be swift and violent when required yet guided by the very principles that I serve to defend.
Brave men have fought and died building the proud tradition and feared reputation that I am bound to uphold. In the worst of conditions, the legacy of my teammates steadies my resolve and silently guides my every deed. I will not fail."

Kate Noelle "Katie" Holmes[1] (born December 18, 1978) is an American actress who first achieved fame for her role as Joey Potter on The WB teen drama Dawson's Creek from 1998 to 2003.
Holmes' part on the show, only her second professional role, made her a star. Her movie roles have ranged from art house films such as The Ice Storm to thrillers such as Abandon to blockbusters such as Batman Begins.
In early 2005, Holmes began a highly publicized relationship with actor Tom Cruise. In June, two months after they first met, she became engaged to Cruise. The couple announced Holmes was pregnant in October 2005; on April 18, 2006, she gave birth to a daughter, Suri Cruise. On November 18, 2006, she and Cruise were married in Italy.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were married on 11/18/2006, according to that information on the internet. That was 3 weeks, 359 months, after 11/28/1976, the day I recognize as when I left the Jupiter moon Callisto to begin my return to Earth, which occurred on 4/14/1977.

Top Gun is a 1986 American film directed by Tony Scott and produced by Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer in association with Paramount Pictures. The screenplay was written by Jim Cash and Jack Epps Jr., and was inspired by an article written by Ehud Yonay for California Magazine entitled "Top Guns." The film stars Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis, Anthony Edwards, Val Kilmer, Tom Skerritt, Michael Ironside, Tim Robbins, and Meg Ryan.
The film follows LT Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell, a young naval aviator who aspires to be a top fighter pilot in a prestigious naval school which trains the top 1% of all Naval Aviators. Maverick gets his chance to attend the school after one pilot drops out, allowing for him and his RIO (Radar Intercept Officer, the "back seater" in the two-man F-14) LTJG Nick 'Goose' Bradshaw to train with the best.
The film opened on May 16, 1986 to good reviews, the aerial scenes being most notably praised. The film accumulated over $350 million world-wide, and broke home-video sales records.

As I noted earlier, "Katie" was the girlfriend of "Doug Masters" in the 1986 movie "Iron Eagle," where "Katie" is similar to Cates or Katz. The actress who portrayed "Katie" was born 59 days after 5/1/1967, which is the day I recognize I first flew a fighter jet by myself, when I was 8.16 years old. Phoebe also portrayed a character named "Kate" in the 1984 "Gremlins." The source of the word "gremlin," according to information on the internet, is related to aviation, and I believe I created that art to represent that Phoebe was my wife and that I was a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier pilot.

This is the movie I can still "remember" taking Bobbilynn to see. I can "remember" driving in my red 1990 Mazda RX-7 with her down Highway 76 to a movie theatre in Anderson, SC. She lived near Clemson, South Carolina, as did Tracie Rhodes, who I later married, at least in my artificial and symbolic memories. This “memory” also reminds me of a time later when Tracie and I started dating and I took her to dinner in Anderson and I was feeling depressed that she wasn't Bobbilynn. I "remember" all this because I lived in the town of Central, South Carolina, and the Clemson Tigers were nearby. The Tiger is also the mascot of Princeton University. My apartment in Central was on a street named Issaqueena Trail.

I thought a lot about this photo of the USS Taylor FFG-50 after I saw it. Especially because of the perspective of the photographer compared to my own artificial and symbolic memories. The USS Taylor FFG-50 is the first U.S. Navy ship I was assigned to in my artificial and symbolic memories. That camera perspective was also relevant to an experience when I was onboard this ship, which I have written about several times. The date on the photo was about a month after I quit Microsoft and moved out to Spokane Valley, WA. I was staying at a hotel named Crosslands at the time. I remember a woman at the counter at the hotel was talking to someone on the phone and she mentioned that people sometime call that hotel the “Crossroads.”

The guided missile frigate Taylor is part of the USS John F. Kennedy Strike Group and is currently taking part in a Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMTUEX). COMPTUEX is an intermediate level exercise designed to forge the strike group into a cohesive fighting team and is a critical step in pre-deployment training. During COMPTUEX, more than a dozen ships, and Carrier Air Wing Seventeen (CVW-17) embarked on Kennedy, conducted war game exercises using training ranges along the East Coast of the U.S. and the Gulf of Mexico. The exercise took advantage of existing ranges under the Navy’s comprehensive Training Resource Strategy (TRS). These ranges offer training facilities and realistic simulations, better preparing U.S. Navy ships and Sailors to participate in the Global War on Terrorism.

The U.S. Navy ship USS Donald Cook DDG-75 was commissioned Friday, 12/4/1998 and I started at Microsoft on Monday, 12/7/1998 with my official federal undercover identity. It also piqued my interest because I was reminded of the year 1975, where I launched on 11/2/1975 for my 17-month journey to intercept the comet. That mission turned into a one-way trip at one point, but then I beat the odds and made it back home.

Kate Noelle "Katie" Holmes[1] (born December 18, 1978) is an American actress who first achieved fame for her role as Joey Potter on The WB teen drama Dawson's Creek from 1998 to 2003.
Holmes' part on the show, only her second professional role, made her a star. Her movie roles have ranged from art house films such as The Ice Storm to thrillers such as Abandon to blockbusters such as Batman Begins.
In early 2005, Holmes began a highly publicized relationship with actor Tom Cruise. In June, two months after they first met, she became engaged to Cruise. The couple announced Holmes was pregnant in October 2005; on April 18, 2006, she gave birth to a daughter, Suri Cruise. On November 18, 2006, she and Cruise were married in Italy.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were married on 11/18/2006, according to that information on the internet. That was 3 weeks, 359 months, after 11/28/1976, the day I recognize as when I left the Jupiter moon Callisto to begin my return to Earth, which occurred on 4/14/1977.

Top Gun is a 1986 American film directed by Tony Scott and produced by Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer in association with Paramount Pictures. The screenplay was written by Jim Cash and Jack Epps Jr., and was inspired by an article written by Ehud Yonay for California Magazine entitled "Top Guns." The film stars Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis, Anthony Edwards, Val Kilmer, Tom Skerritt, Michael Ironside, Tim Robbins, and Meg Ryan.
The film follows LT Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell, a young naval aviator who aspires to be a top fighter pilot in a prestigious naval school which trains the top 1% of all Naval Aviators. Maverick gets his chance to attend the school after one pilot drops out, allowing for him and his RIO (Radar Intercept Officer, the "back seater" in the two-man F-14) LTJG Nick 'Goose' Bradshaw to train with the best.
The film opened on May 16, 1986 to good reviews, the aerial scenes being most notably praised. The film accumulated over $350 million world-wide, and broke home-video sales records.

As I noted earlier, "Katie" was the girlfriend of "Doug Masters" in the 1986 movie "Iron Eagle," where "Katie" is similar to Cates or Katz. The actress who portrayed "Katie" was born 59 days after 5/1/1967, which is the day I recognize I first flew a fighter jet by myself, when I was 8.16 years old. Phoebe also portrayed a character named "Kate" in the 1984 "Gremlins." The source of the word "gremlin," according to information on the internet, is related to aviation, and I believe I created that art to represent that Phoebe was my wife and that I was a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier pilot.

This is the movie I can still "remember" taking Bobbilynn to see. I can "remember" driving in my red 1990 Mazda RX-7 with her down Highway 76 to a movie theatre in Anderson, SC. She lived near Clemson, South Carolina, as did Tracie Rhodes, who I later married, at least in my artificial and symbolic memories. This “memory” also reminds me of a time later when Tracie and I started dating and I took her to dinner in Anderson and I was feeling depressed that she wasn't Bobbilynn. I "remember" all this because I lived in the town of Central, South Carolina, and the Clemson Tigers were nearby. The Tiger is also the mascot of Princeton University. My apartment in Central was on a street named Issaqueena Trail.

I thought a lot about this photo of the USS Taylor FFG-50 after I saw it. Especially because of the perspective of the photographer compared to my own artificial and symbolic memories. The USS Taylor FFG-50 is the first U.S. Navy ship I was assigned to in my artificial and symbolic memories. That camera perspective was also relevant to an experience when I was onboard this ship, which I have written about several times. The date on the photo was about a month after I quit Microsoft and moved out to Spokane Valley, WA. I was staying at a hotel named Crosslands at the time. I remember a woman at the counter at the hotel was talking to someone on the phone and she mentioned that people sometime call that hotel the “Crossroads.”

The guided missile frigate Taylor is part of the USS John F. Kennedy Strike Group and is currently taking part in a Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMTUEX). COMPTUEX is an intermediate level exercise designed to forge the strike group into a cohesive fighting team and is a critical step in pre-deployment training. During COMPTUEX, more than a dozen ships, and Carrier Air Wing Seventeen (CVW-17) embarked on Kennedy, conducted war game exercises using training ranges along the East Coast of the U.S. and the Gulf of Mexico. The exercise took advantage of existing ranges under the Navy’s comprehensive Training Resource Strategy (TRS). These ranges offer training facilities and realistic simulations, better preparing U.S. Navy ships and Sailors to participate in the Global War on Terrorism.

The U.S. Navy ship USS Donald Cook DDG-75 was commissioned Friday, 12/4/1998 and I started at Microsoft on Monday, 12/7/1998 with my official federal undercover identity. It also piqued my interest because I was reminded of the year 1975, where I launched on 11/2/1975 for my 17-month journey to intercept the comet. That mission turned into a one-way trip at one point, but then I beat the odds and made it back home.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Cook
Donald Gilbert Cook (9 August 1934 - 8 December 1967) was a colonel in the United States Marine Corps and a Medal of Honor recipient.
Cook was born in Brooklyn, New York. He held as a Prisoner of War by the Viet Cong in the Republic of Vietnam from 31 December 1964 until his death.
USS Donald Cook (DDG-75) was named in his honor.
Medal of Honor citation
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while interned as a Prisoner of War by the Viet Cong in the Republic of Vietnam during the period 31 December 1964 to 8 December 1967. Despite the fact that by so doing he would bring about harsher treatment for himself, Colonel (then Captain) Cook established himself as the senior prisoner, even though in actuality he was not. Repeatedly assuming more than his share of their health, Colonel Cook willingly and unselfishly put the interests of his comrades before that of his own well-being and, eventually, his life. Giving more needy men his medicine and drug allowance while constantly nursing them, he risked infection from contagious diseases while in a rapidly deteriorating state of health. This unselfish and exemplary conduct, coupled with his refusal to stray even the slightest from the Code of Conduct, earned him the deepest respect from not only his fellow prisoners, but his captors as well. Rather than negotiate for his own release or better treatment, he steadfastly frustrated attempts by the Viet Cong to break his indomitable spirit. and passed this same resolve on to the men whose well-being he so closely associated himself. Knowing his refusals would prevent his release prior to the end of the war, and also knowing his chances for prolonged survival would be small in the event of continued refusal, he chose nevertheless to adhere to a Code of Conduct far above that which could be expected. His personal valor and exceptional spirit of loyalty in the face of almost certain death reflected the highest credit upon Colonel Cook, the Marine Corps, and the United States Naval Service.
http://www.navysite.de/dd/ddg75.htm
USS Donald Cook (DDG 75)
USS DONALD COOK is the 25th ship in the Navy's ARLEIGH BURKE - class of Guided Missile Destroyers and the first ship in the Navy named after US Marine Corps Colonel Donald Cook.
Commissioned: December 4, 1998
About the Ship's Coat of Arms:
The Shield:
Dark blue and gold are the colors traditionally used by the US Navy; red is emblematic of valor and sacrifice. The reversed star denotes the Medal of Honor, our country's highest honor, posthumously awarded to Colonel Donald G. Cook for his spirit of sacrifice and extraordinary heroism. The gauntlet grasps a broken chain underscoring Colonel cook's internment as a prisoner of war by the Viet Cong during which he unselfishly put the interests of his comrades before that of his own well-being and, eventually, his life. The swords are crossed to signify the spirit of teamwork while symbolizing the heritage of the US Navy and Marine Corps. The Mameluke represents Colonel Cook's service as a Marine.
The Crest:
The eagle symbolizes the principles of freedom upon which our country as founded and highlights military vigilance and national defense. The tridents represent sea power and underscore USS DONALD COOK'S AEGIS firepower and the capability to conduct operations in multi-threat environments.

bad news - good news
Certainly they wouldn't let me start consciously remembering my wife if I wasn't going home to her immediately.

So I'll bet I see that same guy lurking around me when they are breaking into my apartment. He's a lookout for the insurgents and a pending United States federal convict facing a rather lenghty prison sentence.
What is it about that stuff I "remembered" about Dino Bohanon's sister a while back? Is that how Phoebe is going to return to conscious memory? Am I going to start remember details about Dino's sister that are going to connect to my real memories of Phoebe?
I see flashes of images in my mind of Phoebe that I don't know the source of. I just see her face and I don't know how I......something. And it is not just still images I see of Phoebe. I am started to discern some motion to them. Not much. Just slight movements of her face and of her head moving, as though she is talking and I am remembering something about her. A lot of other stuff is making sense, too. I have a much better understanding - I assume - of why I do not consciously remember any of the real details. But I can feel.....something. I can feel it start to return. I can't articulate it yet.
I don't think Dino was a real person; rather someone I created as part of my official United States federal undercover identity. I think he represents certain aspects of my real identity. I am trying to remember why his last name is Bohanon but I don't remember yet. In the context of my artificial and symbolic memory, I can "remember" trying to make fun of his last name but no one else thought it was funny. I also have artificial and symbolic memories of going back to Ashdown for our 10 year reunion in 1994 and of people saying they didn't remember who I was, although there were people who did remember me.
I also understand that there is so much that is ingrained into my mind that affects what I am consciously aware of. I can't fully articulate that yet, either. But it is expressed well with the notion of riding a bicycle. When I ride a bicycle, there isn't a lot of conscious thought that goes into it. So what is the difference of how I am now? I don't remember when I learned to ride a bicycle in reality, but yet I can do it very well. The same goes with swimming. I swim very well and I have a great deal of endurance in the water. I saw a photo a while back on the internet that suggested I had backup on those last really long swims I completed.
I do not have any artificial memories of learning to ride a bicyle or of learning to swim. I "remember" when I got my first bicycle, the one with Westpoint on it, but I already knew how to ride it and I have no memories of being taught. The same goes with swimming. I have memories of taking swimming lessons, but I already knew how to swim before those lessons and I don't remember anyone teaching me either activity.

Ah...."bat lady," of course. I found something like a bat-shaped fishing lure that I really liked when I was a kid, but one of the older neighborhood kids said it was his and took it from me.

I was thinking about these times when the hood flew up on my red Ford as I was traveling down Hicks Road. It was lucky we didn't crash.

1980. That was the year we moved from DeQueen to Ashdown. I think it was '81 when we moved onto Hicks Road. I started school at Ashdown Jr. High in '80. We had our 10 year reunion in '94 at the junior high school. I was teaching myself how to read Russian that year. Received a Science award. Started shaving. 14 years old when we moved there. Michael and I constructed a tall television antenna to get better reception. We put an American flag at the top. As we were admiring our work, Michael commented something similar to: "we sure are some patriotic s.o.b.'s aren't we?" Mom made us take it down, might have been the landlord, and she told us we were supposed to take it down every night. The school bus stop was a long ways from the house and our landlord, who was next door where we lived in one of the two houses on their farm, let me drive one of their cars to take my siblings and their kids to the bus stop. One day, I parked the car at their house but left it in neutral without the parking brake engaged. As I was walking away, the landlady yelled out that the car was rolling away down the hill. I dropped my books, swiveled around and sprinted for the car. I got the door open, jumped in and got it stopped right before it went into the pond. I think my mom chastised me for that, but I didn't know if it was for not setting the brake or for jumping in the car as it was about to go into the pond. Started going out into the woods a lot there in that place. All I had at first to carry with me was a BB gun. I very much enjoyed just getting out there and exploring. I never got lost despite how much terrority I covered, which was a lot. People at school were really getting annoyed at hearing me reciting Poe's The Raven, as I was trying to memorize it for some reason, in my memory it wasn't a class assignment. Denzil and mom gave me a 20 gauge shotgun for my birthday that year. I think Denzil traded a guitar for it. They left the gun and a camo hunting vest on my bed. The gun had a problem though but they tried telling me I was operating it wrong. They said I was "shortchanging" the action, but that wasn't it because I did what they said and it still wouldn't work. Finally, the guy Denzil got it from disassembled it one day and apparantly found the problem because I don't remember any other problems with it. Eventually I traded it to Michael for a knock-off Franchi semi-auto 12 gauge he had. That was a mistake because it was a piece of crap and would always jam after the first round. I bought a 35-caliber lever action rifle that I used for deer hunting that I absolutely loved. For some reason, I would proud that it wasn't a 30-30, but why I was proud of that is a mystery to me. There was a guy named Dino who was the star of our 9th grade football team. I remember him because I ran into his sister some years later. It was weird because she was working at that same bank in South Carolina. Small world. I remember getting dragged through a swamp during junior high as part of an initiation into Future Farmers of America. Made a chess board in shop class. It snowed on Thanksgiving day of 1980. Went to Camp Couchdale in the summer of '81, after graduating 9th grade. Tried to organize a panty raid on the girls buildings on the other side of the compound, but the staff was obviously listening and showed up at the screen door of our building with a big dog. Tried to start a food fight in the cafeteria but no one else got into it. Met a girl named Phoebe, took her out on the lake in a boat and paddled around. We wrote letters for a long time afterwards.

I had a dream last night that I was flying a desk in an office. Phoebe was there and she seemed impressed as I was pushing buttons to get whatever engine was in the desk, not unlike a VTOL contraption, to get it off the floor. I wasn't flying it very well though because it kept hitting the walls and doorway.

I am guessing that it was so active because it was the first time all that surface area had been exposed to the Sun as a result of it being hit in 1976 and blown into large chunks of the original comet.
2 kilometers is 1.24 miles and who knows how large it was to begin with. 15 kilometers is 9.32 miles and 40 kilometers is almost 25 miles.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_Hyakutake
Radar results from the Arecibo Observatory indicated that the nucleus of the comet was about 2 km across, and surrounded by a flurry of pebble-sized particles ejected from the comet at a few metres per second. This measurement of the nucleus size corresponded well with indirect estimates using infrared emission and radio observations.[7][8]
The small size of the nucleus (Halley's Comet is about 15 km across, while Comet Hale-Bopp was about 40 km across) implies that Hyakutake must have been very active to become as bright as it did. Most comets undergo outgassing from a small proportion of their surface, but most or all of Hyakutake's surface seemed to have been active.

There was a guy named Dino who was the star of our 9th grade football team. I remember him because I ran into his sister some years later. It was weird because she was working at that same bank in South Carolina. Small world. I remember getting dragged through a swamp during junior high as part of an initiation into Future Farmers of America. Made a chess board in shop class. It snowed on Thanksgiving day of 1980. Went to Camp Couchdale in the summer of '81, after graduating 9th grade. Tried to organize a panty raid on the girls buildings on the other side of the compound, but the staff was obviously listening and showed up at the screen door of our building with a big dog. Tried to start a food fight in the cafeteria but no one else got into it. Met a girl named Phoebe, took her out on the lake in a boat and paddled around. We wrote letters for a long time afterwards.

I had a dream last night that I was flying a desk in an office. Phoebe was there and she seemed impressed as I was pushing buttons to get whatever engine was in the desk, not unlike a VTOL contraption, to get it off the floor. I wasn't flying it very well though because it kept hitting the walls and doorway.

I am guessing that it was so active because it was the first time all that surface area had been exposed to the Sun as a result of it being hit in 1976 and blown into large chunks of the original comet.
2 kilometers is 1.24 miles and who knows how large it was to begin with. 15 kilometers is 9.32 miles and 40 kilometers is almost 25 miles.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_Hyakutake
Radar results from the Arecibo Observatory indicated that the nucleus of the comet was about 2 km across, and surrounded by a flurry of pebble-sized particles ejected from the comet at a few metres per second. This measurement of the nucleus size corresponded well with indirect estimates using infrared emission and radio observations.[7][8]
The small size of the nucleus (Halley's Comet is about 15 km across, while Comet Hale-Bopp was about 40 km across) implies that Hyakutake must have been very active to become as bright as it did. Most comets undergo outgassing from a small proportion of their surface, but most or all of Hyakutake's surface seemed to have been active.

National traitors.
If this is supposed to be a joke, I am not laughing and I will be pressing federal charges against these people for providing material support to an insurrection against the United States of America, of which thousands of Americans have been killed so far because of these national traitors.
I suspect this was put out there by the thieves stealing my identity to try to discredit me so they can avoid prosecution for stealing my identity and getting thousands of Americans killed in the process. I mean, George W. Bush is a spectacular moron and known thief, but how stupid can someone be? How idiotic are they to think I would not figure out what they were doing? What he and accomplices have been doing is to help Microsoft-Corbis game the system for when their criminal trial begins.

May 17, 1987
While deployed to the Arabian Gulf, the USS STARK is hit by two Iraqi Exocet missiles but only one of them detonates. Both missiles were accidentally fired by an Iraqi F-1 Mirage aircraft, killing 37 sailors and wounding 21 others. The pilot later claims that he had mistaken the STARK for an Iranian oil tanker.
The STARK suffers heavy damage and could only be saved by the effective damage control efforts of the crew.
The Navy spent $142 Million to repair the USS STARK.

USS SAMUEL B. ROBERTS strikes a mine while operating in the Persian Gulf. Detonation of the mine results in major structural damage to the hull and superstructure, flooding and fires. There are no personnel casualties but 69 injuries reported as a result of the explosion. Damage aboard the frigate was that extensive that she had to be returned to the United States for repairs by a heavy lift ship (photo below). SAMUEL B. ROBERTS was repaired at Bath Iron Works in Maine and the repairs took at least one year.
Three days after the mine blast, forces of the Joint Task Force Middle East executed the American response - Operation Praying Manits. During a two-day period, the Navy, Marine Corps, Army and Air Force units of Joint Task Force Middle East destroyed two oil platforms being used by Iran to coordinate attacks on merchant shipping, sank or destroyed three Iranian warships and neutralized at least six Iranian speedboats.

USS Cole (DDG 67)
October 12, 2000
Port of Aden, Yemen
As part of the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON Battle Group, USS COLE was in transit from the Red Sea to a port visit in Bahrain when the ship stopped in Aden for routine refueling.
Yemen is the Defense Fuel Support Point that had been open just over a year. It had been used 12 times in the year before, usually when an oiler was not part a battle group. The fueling point is in the center of an industrial harbor and consists of concrete pilings built specifically for commercial refueling. The piping runs under the harbor and the fuel is taken directly form those pipes.
COLE completed mooring operations at 9:30 a.m. Refueling started at 10:30 a.m. Later, a small boat approached the COLE.At 11:18 a.m. Bahrain time (3:18 a.m. EDT), when the small boat was situated on the port side of the destroyer an explosion occurred causing a 40-foot by 40-foot gash in the port side of the COLE. Damage control efforts to manage flooding in the ship's engineering spaces were reported successful that evening. Divers have conducted preliminary inspections of the hull and said the keel is not damaged.
The explosion killed 17 of COLE's 320 sailors and injured 39 others. The injured sailors were brought to the Army's Landstuhl Regional Medical Center near Ramstein, Germany, and were later flown to the US.
"If, as it now appears, this was an act of terrorism it was a despicable and cowardly act. We will find out who was responsible and hold them accountable," President Clinton said.
