I asked around, and found out why I'm confused with "Arcadia". I think she owned a fab venue for lightworkers. She sang the Buddhist sutras and crafted lovely crystal steam baths. I'd offered to help her since she was overworked. We were praying for Dad when he went into hospice. The morons knew I had no real job, so I didn't want to stress out Dad while he was fighting cancer for the 4th time. My sister is still a jacked up individual...and my sister in law can't give me Whitney tech support voice when I outrank her insurance dealing ass. They sliced him up good in the surgery she announced, and thinks I didn't pray for him. I told her I was profoundly disappointed in her, for not taking better care of him and letting him get hooked on Glenn Beck
[8:19:37] muzebl: Too many liars here, leading me on, but I don't feel safe with where cynics and posers go with their fears when they check my genealogy research and say words that scare people because they fear I'm evil. I'm not evil, I'm an avionics technician. (swivel heads have great peripheral acuity) And I have quite a sharp BS-o-meter. I think I really need to be an expat where disenfranchised nobles can just talk about the 1600s, or 1066 like it was yesterday, instead of the butthurt masses jealous of those who can count that far back. It's a fascinating story! Who wouldn't want to write it?
[8:27:27] muzebl: I've had a strategy to deal with these things. I need to know more than most people to achieve my goals, and I'm rarely satisfied until someone in the REAL knowing of things, has the creds to say I've reached a milestone... I tend to dismiss the raves and compliments of tone deaf people in regards to my skills. So when my FATHER said I'm a systems analyst, he really didn't know how far I carried the skills into my life. I'm was an empathetic child BEFORE I learned customer service. So, I met someone who wants to teach me Scottish and sail up and down the coast for a week. It's only 500$! But... this IS the porn capitol of the country, thanks to Ron Jeremy's club... sigh.. funny as hell! Harley biker, funny as hell.... gave me a prop dabloon at one of the many shopping centers near here. You would hate it with a purple passion..
[8:32:37] muzebl: It's sad really.. just like Levittown. If you know the album "American Pie" .. and learn the codes of it, the song has so little to do with Buddy Holly, I'm working on the bits we talked about when we were growing up on it. We lost Casey Casem from the American Top 40 show... he laid out the hits and the amazing stories behind them .. the best history teacher ...now that I think about it. Of course we take it for granted. That's the point of multicultural education. I bother you because I need to know who I am, and what to build on my true foundation.
[8:50:15] muzebl: The Bible can be simple, as it was taught to me. Douay Rheims for those who are too conservative, KJV for when things get too liberal.. so here we are, and Rome's burning AGAIN! My brother is 55 years old, and just had a horribly invasive medical procedure. and again, during the HELL of my life, his wife sends me a 25$ gift card to AMAZON! when they were just busted for holding up orders from CERTAIN publishers? GADS, we gotta be real time with books on ipads. And yeah, I got the old teachers checking my math... and fareaking at how much they held us back. We loved them because they gave us a lovely place to learn, HOW to learn, not what to learn. Homeschooling was not an option except for those who could afford it. I just wanted to socialize! I didn't give a fuzzy rat's ass about most of the crap they were droning us, but I learned a bit too late how to fly UNDER the RADAR .. so I had to fly into it. These people are really easy to distract... But yeah, we were not raised to talk much about how I noticed Grandma looked a lot like George Washington. Yeah, it was back iin our little buddy days when it was just the two of us.. hanging around the Smithsonian and his frustration with my taking in what I needed to know, not dates and such. I needed to know how the events related to each other on a global scale. The DC area was known to have been laid out by a Mason Lafayette. well, he was Moorish. That's why I don't belong here. I was raised to be a global citizen. That's why I was interested in UNESCO, but they made some horrendous decisions. What, still butthurt over the Taj Mahal? I'd like to see the Hope Diamond repatriated ... with a great deal of pomp and circumstance.. and I don't care if we've been looking at a copy. That's just one example of outstanding quality we've admired no matter what it's made of. They probably have plenty of footage of me gazing at the thing on one of my unauthorized field trips... I took to playing hooky at the Smithsonian when they took mother's survival benefits.. Loyola was out. West Pointe Military academy came sniffing around, but I only wanted to know how well I'd do in the little Olympics they threw for us to see how much we'd worked to qualify for the Space Race.
[9:00:07] muzebl: We busted almighty TUCHOS to go to space! And that bloviating ignoramous took our only chance to get through it. After teaching Algebra completely backwards no matter how you sliced it. I was FURIOuS! An actual NUN told me I had to do twice as good as the white kids to make it in the world. Dude.. If a teacher said I had to do TWICE as much to get the same opportunities, in the world of ME,
That means I have to do it 3x as well.. Go figure Spacenet having me doing the job of three dumb guys, and LOVING It! The engineers were slime, but the Brazilian with the 3D printer (in 1998), had me KNOWING I had to learn CAD or something like it.
Well, I never had time or money for it, but lots of nerds pulled it off and are doing quite well... But my auntie got a government contract from Eleanor Roosevelt and its MY turn to be the high-octane tax PAYER with lots of highly paid happy workers..
The Husch-Blackwell law firm, who hasn't had a living Blackwell on the board for over 4 years now.. But I like the idea of Wiley-Blackwell to somehow get my daughter and me to talk about this at Oxford. But my stories always come out like.. "This one time, at band camp!" but it's funny... to some.. Just like my favorite actress....since childhood. I loved Willow in Buffy.. and How I met your mother.. Ted was so much like my dad, it's not funny and I can't find the letters he wrote to mother.. I stored them when I moved. I never told him I'd found them.... and never read them all out of respect...after reading one.... I left that idea alone. He was battling cancer. So he knows I found old pictures, but not the letters..
[9:04:57] muzebl: He was a Grand Knight during the Marion years 1987-1988 . He told me of the Visitations of Mary in Czech Republic.
He couldn't go until he "retired".. but the youtube videos show what he described. So.. yeah. Tom Hanks , the Breakfast Club.. we know who we are....but now we're learning who we were.. and ROOKED is what we ARE
[9:07:23] muzebl: George Romney wanted to release the records... Mitt the Twitt held them back and now selling them through genealogy websites? Well, we've always had apps for that... and this is some math I have to catch up on. If I'm just learning what they know... go figure a zombie apocalypse and their killing of whatever god they have left. smdh I won't agree with the Catholic Church to ENDORSE the religion.
[9:07:42] muzebl: The stories were intended to be told together
[9:10:59] muzebl: The metaverse is my Purple pill. that was what I said right after Morpheus said it on the screen. If they REALLY wanna get conservative about it, I can sue the crap out of the prescription marketing it for something stupid like erectile dysfunction. Go figure I'm no Freudian...
[9:15:10] muzebl: So, the sister is in cahoots with the stepmother over the last bit of land in the Blackwell name here in the states... except for that little dump my big brother's paying off literally downstream from 3Mile Island's reactor. His wife can't smell after having her sinuses scraped from a nosebleed issue.. had a miscarriage and is my age, so failed in her ONE job to have a SON. brava.... I had her on the phone and she gave me customer service manager voice. I returned with IRATE escallation desk manager, voice.... and we get nowhere.
[9:22:21] muzebl: The 90 something year old guy had a chortle when I told him who I was and suggested I go to HR! ROFLMAO.. they had an article looking for the geeks they laid off and were offering 20$ an hour. I called a partner nearest to Lexington and told him I wasn't a BBQ sauce Blackwell of the Blackwell vs Gates BBQ hillbilly fueds, we were the ones they were trying to impress! oops... I was a little brown ginger... telling everybody's secrets. And Irish families thought.. "oh, do you think she knows? And things were explained on the lap of my best friend's Dad.... his daughter was ginger, his folks weren't. I was absolutely devastated when they moved away. I tried to keep in touch, but the net took FAR to long for us to network, until now. My hometown radio station follows me on Twitter. I have too many to know who's paying attention.. This is good because @ThyGeekGoddess has a lot of posers. We can't have that.
[9:23:57] muzebl: yeah, I'm gonna blog that. the net needs to evolve....period.
"Wow! U should write/publish those stories!" they said. "What for? What's the point?" I was observant, but didn't know it was a BFD to integrate a Levittown. I'm tasked to kick butts in life somehow, as my daughter is meant to kick mine. It's a blog/social experiment ..interrupted, unedited and mostly written half asleep. Xanadu Grid is finally in work and I hope to get funded and employ some talented nerds Gamifying the metaverse for education. It's important! (/me points to PayPal Button)

American Pie notes
The Beatles had problems in Jacksonville, FL as did Metallica in 1988
(Bible belt...go figure tornado alley)
My Levittown / Levy-town was outside of DC
When Mother passed on Feb 1, 1969, there was a great deal of buzz
and it pointed to not Dad's agency, but someone who wanted to keep us
out of politics. MLK's widow, Malcolm's widow.....
The Sacred Heart Church community came out in droves when Mother passed.
Our neighbors loved her fiercely, but many were jealous and thought we were planted there because Dad earned his master's in Political Science in the 50s at George Washington University but he took a left at the light, to Ft. Meade after serving in the Navy as a corpsman (Class of 49 from Lincoln High in Kansas City)
The patch says "Leaders" backwards and pronounce
"Rey-dels". (For Deltas?) I'm missing the
yearbook now. *sigh*
Category: Expedition, sailed 1635
Categories: Great Migration Ships<-- Grandady's Pin it was really tiny and also last seen in Oregon..
Before Dad passed, he told me to check shipping routes and businesses.
The records were eked out to the web, but it's been a long time since I've had an account with ancestry, so I'm remembering some old conversations in the National Archives.
Expedition, sailed 1635
The Expedition, Master Blackwell, sailed 1635, departing London, England, arriving Barbadoes.
"20 Novembris 1635
Theis under-written names are to be transported to the Barbadoes imbarqued in the Expedition Peter Blackwell Mr. The Men have taken the oaths of Allegeance & Supremacie: And have been examined by the Minister of the Towne of Gravesend touching their Conformitie to the ordrs & discipline of the Church of England die et Ao prd."
*I thought there was a crewman named Blackwell on the 1635 True Love
So, this takes us to where
And we're still at 42
yay, GOD!Mother's nickname was MIMI, not Mina!
Elizabeth Blackwell was the first female doctor.
I rather scoffed at the UK cheater, but rather put off by the Grim stories slandering women of science.
I was teased as a cheater for reading too young.
What interested me in the ERA days, was her role as a suffragette! I was happy that subject was covered. ((shudder))
As it turns out by what I've read so far.... she and I were far too alike. I always rejected Freud as a perv....and after awhile it was ridiculous to apply it to a scientific mind.
At Ocean City,MD "Macho 1"= "Mach One" the name of a Latin band in DC '84? Ahhh hair gel and PINBALL. Post Rio Perm, pre-curl with pink lightning strike. My mallrat days and dancing salsa on the beach!
Oh yeah... my boyfriend couldn't go, and I didn't want to be bothered. We were practicing for something and after practicing "Ice Cream Castles", the Korg blew a fuse and I couldn't play the gig! grumble... I think I even got a speeding ticket on my birthday! We knew of a cousin named "Iron Moccasin"back then. There's a picture somewhere with her hair shaved.... (the rant)

Hey, It's Slash's folks! Grandmother's second husband was a Black/NDN named Foster. She'd dismissed her first when Mother and Uncle Tommy were kids. She let him go and built a home out of two railroad cars! What a BETTY! But she was a happy Golden Girl, so "Dorothy" fits.
HOPEWELL
The Hopewell was a ship that had been commanded by the famous Capt Henry Hudson on some earlier voyages, but on the voyage to America in 1632, it was not Capt Henry Hudson at the helm. This voyage produced a passenger list that was particularly interesting as the vast majority of the passengers were children. They were mostly young and our ancestor was amongst them. His name was Foster and he was only 14 years of age and was not accompanied by an adult. In fact most of these children where unaccompanied. At first I thought they must be children of earlier arrivals, but then I came across some interesting reading materials on old London town. It seems, the upper class in London was getting very frustrated with the many street children running loose in London. They began arresting them for almost anything and they stood trial. I read of one such child being hung for stealing a loaf of bread. Most were chosen to be shipped off to America to be adopted by colonists who had already lost their own children to the hardships of the frontier or who wanted nothing more than slaves. John Foster, our ancestor was on such a ship at the age of 14 and he was alone. I believe he was not adopted as he grew up with the foster name.
Grandad was civil service, a shriner and had a news stand.
Lots of "music" died around that time.
What passes for music at any time in history,
.... one's mileage tends to vary,
And this is a GoOD THING!
Even if it's kinda weird,
There is a point of view being expressed.
And the artist is a teacher in this respect..
"Hey, this is what the people you don't know have to say....grumbling..."You ignorant, sod... got me doing this contract work for scraps, when I got better things to.. (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance)
The Jew-fro was a big hit in the day.
"that music" was a nice way to say what bigot's called "n-bomb music"
Elvis and the Beatles were accused of being lovers of the kind of music that challenged them to make people of color dance.
Chances are, if you pulled a Blurred Lines, we'd recognize the acknowledgement and <jump,twirl> or something...
Hand jive was handy....for passing on the "ghetto codes" with discretion.
When we study the history of the real classics,
And do our best to let them know, we know...oeoeo
People really don't know how to read me sometimes,
I'm snarky as hell..yackin' at the ether...
Learning True Lies of the internet makers, trying to build a new world
on the cloud.
I'm a systems analyst and a troubleshooter, people call "overqualified" when NASA wasn't hiring.
And the world has to have a war on something, or it can't get off it's ass to avoid the precipice...like lemmings..
I remember flags NOT lowering for the death of Martin's Queen.
They dropped like flies for the Bobble-head doll....
And I was so FURIOUS for Kiowa country, being denied employment because my resume, if they read it right, says, the unemployable word,
"Brown Female Engineer....yeah, THAT ONE!"
They take me for the "Oracle"
They should have given me the job.
I'm Muze of Arcadia, as it turns out.
People really oughtn't make shrines for people who aren't dead.
And really pissed when I found out I was looking for the Osage, AFTER I left. And figured they would get online eventually. The department of Interior cut NDN nations off the internet. (there was too much truth in it) If you didn't have cable, all they got by air was Fox news. lying to the masses.. but they got more news from the singers on shows like Xfactor..
smdh
Who made Jesus a rock star in the first place?
OK, so in 1964, my folks integrated Levittown (Levitt's and Son's tract housing /social experiment/ great "equalizer")
And let's say Cairo was DC and he grew up in the burbs, near the Beltway (Silk road)
And his dad took him around town, doing business, and the pretty eyed, olive skinned, all that lovely olive oil running around. I'll bet his locks were gorgeous!
*cough*
...and he's SO well spoken!
cut to Jesus.. "and so are YOUUUUUUuuuuuu! Well done. Mother, can we GO NOW?"
We have friends who's eyes change colors when ticked off...sooo
Or very reflective off clothing.
Anyway, for music history's sake and future of roadside philosophy,
Here's the homework:
Jesus Christ Superstar 1973 soundtrack (careful of tainted recordings, and incomplete or out of sequence recordings.)
Godspell
Hair
Tommy
Billy Jack
B-Movie Gil Scott Heron
The Revolution will NOT be Televised
The 1635 True Love Expedition to Barbados
(there's a comedy group saying the POTUS made them write that stuff)
There was a cartoon about Bush...if you missed it.. smdh
What is the best source for the legend of Blackbeard who was hung in New Bern, NC?
The Unknown
The Discovery
Learn the Pirate's Creed of Ethics
And answer who pimped the Scarlett Pimpernel?
Did the Beatles "fit the suit" or the ideology?
Oh yeah.. class warfare...we've never seen THAT before.
And tell me if it's illegal to auction my own handprint?

Studying The Architecture of the Taj Mahal
And of course....
Please share what you know here.
The Memorial at Asteria on the Hypergrid
Welcome to Reminiscence ~ The Memorial at Asteria
This information could be necessary for you to function here. I will be brief. Please allow me candor and directness as
I know you would like to get on with it..... so ...
Reminiscence ~ The Memorial at Asteria, Is a real life virtual memorial that everyone is free and welcomed to participate in. To us, every Avatar
has a human being behind them with a life, identity and history. Regardless of whom we seem to be here in virtual. So, inevitably as with life... It has a start,
a history and a conclusion. Here is where we celebrate it all, in whatever manner the individual wishes to perceive it.
A. The White Sanctuary's. For Lost Loved ones.
B. For them that have gone to the Sea. (Under Water) Fishermen, Sailors and those that have worked the docks. They deserve it.
C. Dubrovna Park. Obliviously understandable when you see it.
Three short items.
1. Traveling Asteria
The method of moving from area to area in Asteria is through teleport . All around you there will be small pillar stands or books with pictures.
Look at the picture and that is where the TP will take you.
NOTE! FIRESTORM USERS. There is a bug in the teleport on touch system. Please assure that you are NOT in mouse look view (through avi's eyes)
when touching the TP stands. It has a tendency to lock up the viewer and the only way out is through Control, Alt and Delete. If you are in Camera view,
(Panning around) touching the TP stand it will not do that.
2. The Memorial Lutrins (Photo stands)
Touch the stand and it will give instructions in normal chat for placing a photo. To receive a candle for your loved one, touch the small candle holder dish on the stand. Receive the Candle, as its owner will then be you and place it on the holder.
Once your picture is loaded in the stand, touch it again and it will be displayed on the large screen, as well as the upstairs private rooms screen. Note the TP stand to get there.
Errors in picture loading. The script takes the first photo in alphabetical order. If you do not like the one you have used, Example "My photo", Rename another ... "A My photo" and it will be displayed instead. Although please take care in your first choice, it tends to upset the scripts.
*If an error does occur, don't worry. Just IM Zia Frimon or use the mail box in the center venue and we will take care of it. Please do let us know though if you would. It keeps things clean and working well. If you have any trouble, let us know. We are here to help and this place is for you, not us.
With Love and Respect to all...

"House of Cards:
The History of Social Networks
Considered As A House of Cards"
Miso Susanowa
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
House of Cards is a Palace of Memory.
The theme and inspiration of this build is based on personal experience
in the growth stages of the social networking scene leading
up to the present virtual worlds & grids.
Beginning with the earliest BBS and MUD environments, through the
VRML and 2D progenitors of the mid-90s to the current VWs, the
birth and growth of virtual worlds and communities is imagined as a
tenuous structure: a house of cards.
An Avatar has climbed these shaky and transitive platforms and is
reaching for the future hypergrid.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
BUILDER'S NOTES - Only read if you are a fanatic or bored.
All of the worlds shown here are my own personal experience in the
growth of social networking. For those who do not know this
history, or those who wish to remember or reminisce, the following

The House's structure echoes the M-machine's transformation into
the demon Moloch in the Fritz Lang film 'Metropolis', whose society is
divided into two classes: one of planners/management and one of workers.
The Avatar leaping free of the House is Maria.
The architectural inspiration for this piece derives not only from the
Tower of Babel in the film but also the Los Angeles California Temple
on Santa Monica Boulevard. The second largest Mormon Church in
the US and a well-known landmark for Angelenos, it is topped with
a 15-foot floodlighted statue of the Angel Moroni which is visible for miles.
The quotation on the top Hypergrid is From Stephen King's 'The Dark
Tower' - it is Jake Chalmers speaking to Roland Deschain of Gilead.
The House is both a fond homage to the long path I have taken
[along with the Net] in this growth towards the future, and a
warning that such technology and such worlds need not only
our honest and heartfelt critique but also our enthusiastic wonder
and love to survive and grow.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
This installation uses extensive sound as an integral part of the
experience and theme, so please have your SOUNDS channel enabled.
Featuring an original 14-track, 6-positional soundtrack based on
the sounds of computers, modems, teletype machines and telephones.

The House is both a fond homage to the long path I have taken
[along with the Net] in this growth towards the future, and a
warning that such technology and such worlds need not only
our honest and heartfelt critique but also our enthusiastic wonder
and love to survive and grow.

Where's Wil Wheaton?
He's missing a helluva party, but I'll be doing interviews to these short clips and shapshots
for the machinima program afterwards.
Elon James' thinks he knows how to NERD HARD...
Let's see if we can't show him how we do and get Xanadu hosted on a nice, shiny server in Germany, eh? And we'll grog and emot how Geeks of Arcadia RULEZ..
our little eclectic Mount Olympus.
The only German I know, came from the game, "The Beast Within", which had me KNOWING this was possible...if I only had access to the wonderful tools.... This is what Muze Ackland Productions was to me. A mod-able animation studio.
I'll settle for paypal funded, 3D, interactive greeting/business card-making app patents since the Post-it did so well for the Monkeys, n all.

Our avatar ages and participation on forums in the WWW Prove how much time we have on these projects and we're pinging DECADES by my non-watch.
So, this is a real alternative lifestyle for those without access to the antiquated tools offered by those holding back the technologies we need to participate in a global economy, with so many ecological remedies, they can't be listed in my current state of inflamed fibro that I apparently hide well-enough to think I could POSSIBLY tolerate downshifting from the only true relief from my chronic pain/sleep disorders. by networking with "our betters", we find others with the same stress-related damage we suffer at the hands of those we wouldn't hire to install a Microsuck suite.
There are no shortcuts to this kind of passionate artform and no, it won't wait for the Enron calculator jockeys to figure out how to make a flawed plan of self-destruction work for anybody's good to anybody but those moving money around until the NEXT time herstory repeats itself all over itself again.. with the same head-flattening objective to keep people from becoming EMPLOYERS..
What a crock.. This country is full of have's and soon-to-haves? Again with the short attention span.
They forgot about the USED-to-HAVES again!
And luring another generation into the same trap... what a plan.
Open Source isn't on board with monopolizing the infinite.
so the RTFM on how this is all over the WWW.
The latest available release of Muze Ackland Production's Machinima studio is free to download and share, just leave the Paypal box to support the designer/builder (me) and the Creative Commons license applies.
By my real calendar, and according to the laws NOT based on a failed paradigm that applies an even more absurd psychological construct to hard-core thinkers, motivated by the talents we've been blessed and socialized to cultivate.
Freudian, please get a grip on that slave mentality. It's ever so NOT sexy.
As such, my WWJD is in construction of this with renewable and unlimited resources.
As a single mom, I built tools with the next generation in mind.
don't kill us with the corruption of our own TRUE legacies...
by selling our means to learn from what we built TOGETHER.
And as Truth is TRUTH, no matter who's expressing it and how... or when.
Who Am I?
Wait......for......it!
An American Herstory is not an easy one to survive,
So it's no small task to relive and explain it after so many years of
yacking about it to the ether.
You simply CANNOT sing the blues,
Until you've paid your dues.
Very funny about the Arcadia Asylum Builders with the clockwork sets still trapped in SL....the rant.
I tried to explain to Christine that I only exported the builds for Arcadia. Which is why they have no scripts. There are many useless borders in the world.
We long overdue to pull out some obstructive demarcations before we're all trapped where we have no business being, and for no logical reason when there is so much to go around.
there is more to being an American than dropping babies and moving money around.
I've never heard anything as revolting and insulting as this sick mentality... and it doesn't matter what race I'm perceived at the moment.... whitewash my legacy and you'll see all KINDS of colors,
some of them plaid.
Talent will not be denied.
