Lake Vostok
I see very clearly the difference between the energy of Adar and the energy of Nissan. Suddenly I'm smitten with that Aries selfishness. I'm also feeling the injection of light, and the energy of the ram. Be careful to use the injection to propell forward motion, rather than to catalyze self gratification. I have to be careful to keep my mouth shut. The active sense of speech , the ruling sense of Nissan. I'm starting to shoot off that mouth of mine again, and I should not, unless it is to share the energy of love. Nissan is Left column energy, fire energy, and with that comes judgement. That is the resistance we have to use positively. I'm such a lover of secrets, and keeping secrets, yet I do succumb to that negative trait easily.
And again, I am sure of that the rituals are there for a reason. Kind of like, let's make them keep their minds off of it, and keep busy with something physical. The same with Easter, isn't it. I was out in the store this morning, forgetting for a time that I was in Central Florida, looking for Passover Matzohs and everything was Easter. Oy. The Passover section in the stores is like 3 feet wide period. Interesting. Different. Yet the same, only people don't see it that way.
Last night there was a strangely interesting program on The National Georgaphic Channel. Yes, I watch TV. Most of it is yuchy. Some of it is good. And I like it. I somehow always feel I must defend myself.
The program was about the Ark of the Covenant. Scientists and Ark ists . One of the possible scenarios portrayed was that the Ark was a container for a nuclear device. That would explain why it had to be built in such and such a manner with many different layers, and why people became pulverized if they came too close, and the cloud which covered the Ark. They even gave the explanation that the High Priests garments were anti radiation. I found it fascinating, because I've not been forgetting radioactivity and nuclear holicaust and uranium fission and all that. Another group said that the ark was an electrical generator. And the Ark ists are waiting to rebuild the Temple, but believe that the Ark itself is underneath the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem which is a Muslim sacred site. You can make it into a Sci Fi movie. We learned that in debating in High School. You learned that any subject could be discussed pro or con. First you had to debate pro, then con, so you learned how information revealed or information left out, and the order in which the information is presented pleads the cause.
Debating probably came to mind because of the speech sense. Be careful to speak with conscious energy.

Iran given stark nuclear choice
Iran insists its nuclear programme is for peaceful means
Iran has been given 30 days to return to the negotiating table or face isolation, foreign ministers from the US and five other major powers warned.
"Iran has a choice between isolation brought about through [uranium] enrichment" or a return to talks, Germany's foreign minister said.
His comments reinforced a deadline in a statement by the UN Security Council, which urged Iran to halt enrichment.
Iran has rejected the call, and insists its nuclear activities are peaceful.

well, if the Ark is the nano singularity, and it is nuclear, then maybe the final explosion will put us right back into the center of the nothing/everything. maybe that's what its all about. maybe not. definitely musable.

the year 5766 is the year of the concealed being revealed.

Heat-loving bug find in Antarctic
By Gabrielle Walker
Vostok has been cut off below the ice for 15 million years
Researchers have found traces of a heat-loving bacterium that may live beneath a frozen lake in Antarctica.
Lake Vostok is covered by more than 3km of ice and must have been isolated from our planet's atmosphere for millions of years.
The bacteria appeared in sediment mixed with a core of ice drilled by Russian and French researchers.
The heat-loving, or thermophilic, bacterium may suggest that hydrothermal vents exist on the lake floor.
Meanwhile, a new ice core drilled this season may reveal whether there is also life in the lake itself.
Hundreds of lakes exist beneath the thick Antarctic ice sheet, but with an area of 14,000 sq km Vostok is by far the largest.
It has never been penetrated, but scientists know it is there through radar measurements taken from above.
Lost world
Because Vostok sees no sunlight and has not been in contact with the atmosphere since it was covered with ice around 15 million years ago, scientists hope it might reveal the kind of life that could exist on other planets, or on Europa, the ice-covered moon of Jupiter.
There are more than 70 sub-glacial lakes in Antarctica; Vostok is the biggest
At 14,000 sq km, it is about the extent of Lake Ontario and is up to 500m deep in places.
Its waters have been hermetically sealed from air and light for 15 million years or more .
Overlying ice layers reveal a 400,000-year environmental record with microbes present throughout the core
Many scientists consider Vostok to be a good model for the ecosystems that might exist on Jupiter's frozen moons.
All information about the contents of Lake Vostok comes from an ice core drilled by Russian and French scientists.
The core was originally intended to study past climate, but although drilling stopped more than 100m above the lake's surface, the bottom parts of the core turned out to be frozen chunks of the lake water itself.
Now a team of Russian and French scientists have used this core to investigate what the lake is truly like.
So far they have found no definitive traces of life within Lake Vostok. But the ice also contained streaks of dark sediment that they believe was thrust up from the lake floor by a small earthquake.
In the sediment, the team found genetic traces of a bacterium that usually lives in temperatures of 50-60C.
"We expected to find life adapted to a cold environment but instead we found exactly the opposite," said Jean-Robert Petit of the Laboratory of Glaciology and Geophysics of the Environment in Grenoble, France.
Rare bug
To be sure the bacteria really exist below Lake Vostok, the researchers had to be very careful not to contaminate their sample.
They compiled a list of microbes that could be found in their laboratory, and eliminated every one from their results.
But the heat-loving bacterium appeared only in the ice core. In fact it is quite unusual, making the researchers even more confident that this one must have come from below the lake.
"We were happy because this bacterium has only been found until now in five or six places on Earth," said Sergey Bulat of the Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute.
They now believe that Lake Vostok may have some kind of hydrothermal heating system at its base, making it more active than anyone had realised.
Concentrated bleach
Meanwhile they are still searching for other evidence of life in the lake water itself.
Recently American researchers announced they had found microbes that must have come from Vostok lake water, but the results were controversial with others saying they were simply contamination.
The Russian and French team have even suggested that the lake water itself may be sterile.
They say that oxygen has been pumped into the lake from the ice above for millions of years.
This would have turned the water into a concentrated solution of bleach.
However if this is true it would be the first truly lifeless body of water ever found on Earth.
New drilling from the Russians may help to resolve this controversy. This season they returned to drill again at Vostok for the first time in eight years.
By extending the Vostok drill hole to a depth of 3650m, a new world record, they managed to obtain an extra 27m of ice core.
Since this ice comes from even closer to the water surface, it should reveal much more about the contents of this mysterious lake.
