This is not to say that nothing is real, just that we can never experience reality directly. Our natural instinct to make sense of our perceptions - the desire for order - can be so strong that the obvious can be obscured and the mundane made mysterious, magnifying the merest conjecture into astounding fact. — Excerpt from: Art and Artifice.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;It depicts human metamorphosis and transformation!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It appeared near a town in southern &lt;b&gt;Netherlands&lt;/b&gt; called Goes, on August 7th 2009, but it has gone unreported in the major Crop Circle websites.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A group in the Netherlands called &lt;b&gt;XL D-sign&lt;/b&gt; claim that they did it overnight with a team of 60 people. See: Project Atlas: &lt;a href="http://defotograaf.smugmug.com/gallery/9196806_CYoie#613971448_a2RNJ" target="_blank"&gt;http://defotograaf.smugmug.com/gallery/9196806_CYoie#613971448_a2RNJ&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I would love to see pictures and a proper video of them creating it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here is the &lt;i&gt;“proof”&lt;/i&gt; they’ve provided that they made it. Convincing… you decide?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0BTnZS0XYk&amp;feature=related" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0BTnZS0XYk&amp;feature=related&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Tyrell Headquarters&lt;/b&gt; seem to be modeled on a &lt;b&gt;Mayan Temple&lt;/b&gt;. Internally, its architecture and design is eclectic. A visionary future is held at bay by size. As with the elevation of Deckard’s apartment, here the only concession to the future—albeit an imagined future—is enormity. Conversely, other architectural possibilities  are provided by the transformation of the given; however, the transformation in question is decay.  What comes to be juxtaposed within the cosmopolitan urban fabric is decay—the continuity rather than the teleology of decay—and the modern vast. The replicant is seen as a threat within this context. It is as this point that the constraint governing both architecture and film needs to be  reintroduced.&lt;/p&gt;

Astronauts took this photo of an eruption on June 12. The plume appears to be a combination of brown ash and white steam. The vigorously rising plume gives the steam a bubble-like appearance; the surrounding atmosphere has been shoved up by the shock wave of the eruption. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;High above Earth, in the realm of meteors and noctilucent clouds, a strange and beautiful form of lightning dances at the edge of space. Researchers call the bolts “sprites”; they are red, fleeting, and tend to come in bunches. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;See also the &lt;b&gt;Squid-like (Jellyfish) Crop Circles&lt;/b&gt; that appeared at Waylands Smithy, nr Kingstone Coombs, Oxfordshire on 29.05.2009 // it is very similar to the &lt;b&gt;Bolts Sprites&lt;/b&gt; photographed recently near the coast of southern France. For centuries, man has been transfixed by the spectacular lightning displays of thunderstorms. But after all those years of gazing at the sky, we never realized there was an equally amazing light show going on above the clouds… and similar Crop Formations on the ground! &lt;b&gt;Are those Crop Circles a Heaven’s Mirror of what is happening above in the sky? &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;It weighs less than half a pound, is 4 inches long, and can potentially unlock the mystery of Flight 447.&lt;br/&gt;
French navy ships searching the Atlantic Ocean will dip a receiver into the water to pick up signals from the 4-inch “pinger” attached to the airplane’s “black box” recorders possibly resting on the ocean floor.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brazil: More debris found from Air France jet&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Searchers from three continents are focusing on a remote Atlantic Ocean stretch where Air France Flight 447 mysteriously went down in water thousands of feet deep, leaving debris scattered for miles and little hope of finding survivors.&lt;br/&gt;
A 23-foot chunk of plane and a 12-mile-long oil slick were found early Wednesday, Brazilian air force spokesman Col. Jorge Amaral said. Rescuers have still found no signs of life.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://crystaleagle.tumblr.com/post/117411145</link><guid>http://crystaleagle.tumblr.com/post/117411145</guid><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jun 2009 17:25:33 +0100</pubDate><category>AF447</category><category>air france</category><category>crash</category><category>Brazil</category><category>Atlantic</category><category>black box</category></item><item><title>Update comment on the ‘Jellyfish’ Crop...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://4.media.tumblr.com/d2ezAQ2Qfo9kc9wjBxDqws9so1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Update comment on the ‘Jellyfish’ Crop Circles:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A 600ft jellyfish has washed up in a barley field miles from the sea - in the form of one of the biggest and most bizarre crop circles ever seen.&lt;br/&gt;
Experts say the gigantic pattern in the field in Kingstone Coombes, Oxfordshire, is the first of its kind - and far larger than most crop patterns.   &lt;br/&gt;
Aficionado Karen Alexander said: &lt;i&gt;“We have seen butterfly and bird patterns in the past, but this is the first jellyfish crop circle in the world.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

An Air France plane...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://11.media.tumblr.com/d2ezAQ2Qfo72h3viim1DKm1To1_400.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;A Dark, Stormy Night over the Atlantic&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;An Air France plane (Flight AF 447) carrying 228 people from Brazil to France has vanished over the Atlantic after flying into turbulence, airline officials say.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Airbus sent an automatic message at 0214 GMT, four hours after leaving Rio de Janeiro, reporting a short circuit. It may have been damaged by lightning.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In a place that is home to the world’s worst thunderstorms. Just as it disappeared, the Airbus A330-203 was flying into a thick band of convective activity that rose to 41,000 feet. This equatorial region is known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone – it is where Northeast and Southeast Trade Winds meet - forcing a lot of warm, moist air upward - which condenses – an efficient thunderstorm producing machine.&lt;/p&gt;
