Rennes-le-Chateau: The best overview of Holy Blood Holy Grail is found at
http://www.dreamscape.com/morgana/metis.htm
Her website contains Steve Mizrach's discussion of the book, which is the best on the net. This URl is also part of the Rennes-le-Chateau webring. To me, the most fascinating stuff is not the Merovingian claim to have the blood of Jesus in their veins (thus divine) but the sacred geometry of the entire place and the connection with Poussin's Tomb at Arques painting The Shepherds of Arcadia

Oh yes, which brings us full circle because the Merovingians are part of the One world government of which the latter-day Knights Templar (only the best and brightest, not the rank and file...)and the Trilateralists are also part.

Today's Geomagnetism report from ARRL ( American Radio Relay League)
To give you some idea of what is happening out there right now...
Solar flux and sunspot activity were down last week, but heading
back up. Average solar flux for last week compared to the previous
week was down almost 4 points, and sunspot numbers were off about 28
points. The low point was Friday, February 18, when the three solar
flux measurements for the day were 139.6, 141.1 and 140.4. The noon
measurement of 141.1 is the official reading for the day. Solar
flux is expected to rise, with the projection for Friday through
Tuesday of 197, 197, 200, 200 and 204. Solar flux for the near term
is expected to peak around 205 on Wednesday or Thursday, March 1 and
2, then decline to below 170 by March 9, and bottom out near 130
around March 23 or 24.
Planetary A index has been rising, due to a well-placed coronal hole
streaming charged particles toward the earth. NASA has an
interesting article about this as well as a dramatic photo online at
http://www.spacescience.com/headlines/y2000/ast23feb_2.htm. Also
check http://www.spaceweather.com, which on Thursday had an article
about a gust of solar wind at 1430z on February 24.
The projected planetary A index for Friday through Tuesday is 20,
18, 15, 13 and 10. Conditions may be disturbed again around March 4
and 5, and fairly quiet between March 13-20. Based on the current
solar rotation, disturbed conditions may recur around March 22-23,
and possibly quiet conditions again around March 26-29, although
predictions that far in the future are more of a guess. These
projections are based upon sunspots and coronal holes moving across
the visible solar surface, as the sun rotates relative to earth
every 27.5 days. Various features grow and fade with time, and new
areas appear. Some are oriented toward earth and have a large
effect, while others do not.
The coronal hole that is causing the current geomagnetic disturbance
has been visible for the last seven solar rotations.

Terrestrial Dispatch web site, which seemed to disappear some time
back. Doug did some detective work, and found that it had moved.
The new site is at http://solar.spacew.com/.
George Jacobs, W3ASK has an interesting item in his propagation
column in the March issue of CQ Magazine concerning equinoctial
propagation. This is about the effect that occurs in spring and
fall seasons when the daylight distributed between the northern and
southern hemisphere is roughly equal, dependent on how close the
date is to the equinox. He says that during March intercontinental
openings on 160-30 meters should peak just before local sunrise and
again at local sunset. 20 meter openings should peak an hour or two
after sunrise and again for an hour or so after sunset. 17-6 meter
intercontinental openings should peak during daylight hours.
Signals on these upper bands are stronger toward the west around and
after sunset, while toward the east they are stronger before noon.
He notes that signals to the south are stronger after sunrise and
again late in the afternoon. W3ASK has a web site at
http://www.gjainc.com/.
Sunspot numbers for February 17 through 23 were 152, 146, 126, 131,
122, 129 and 155 with a mean of 137.3. 10.7 cm flux was 168.4
141.1, 144.8, 153.3, 152.1, 172.3 and 185.1, with a mean of 159.6,
and estimated planetary A indices were 6, 2, 4, 5, 15, 5 and 9, with
a mean of 6.6.

last night, i watched a program about the pharoahs (and queen turned king) of egypt. it seems ramses (sp?) was the unnamed pharoah during the mass exodus of the israelites from egypt. he went one on one with God. it was equally as fascinating to learn of the "acting" ruler of egypt in place for her stepson who, by mutual agreement, took the throne and ceremonially called herself king and wore the pharoah's clothing and a beard. she accomplished many things that the male pharoahs could not or would not. after her stepson became pharaoh (upon her death) he decided that she should not be remembered and there was evidence of her name being removed from monuments. funny, she left a message that future generations would know she ruled egypt even though the people of egypt would try to eradicate her memory. i was totally fascinated with the whole thing. would love to visit egypt and see these things for myself.

Hokule'a crew returns home tired but happy
By Leila Fujimori
A tired but happy Nainoa Thompson says it was a very special day.
After an eight-month voyage to Rapa Nui and back, Hokule’a is home.
Shanell Ching, navigator for the final leg of the journey, said, "It's an honor and a privilege to bring the
Hokule’a home."
The 32-year-old navigated the Polynesian sailing canoe, using only traditional methods, from Tahiti to
Hawaii in a record 21 days.
Hokule’a sailed into Kaunakakai Harbor tonight receiving a welcome of hula, chants and leis from
Molokai residents, as well as crew members' friends and family.
The 15 crew members first caught sight of landfall about 7:20 p.m. yesterday, when they spotted the
lights of Hilo.
The voyage to Rapa Nui signifies reaching the final and easternmost point in the Polynesian Triangle --
the migration routes of ancient Polynesian navigators.
On Oct. 8, Hokule’a arrived at Rapa Nui, or Easter Island, the most isolated and remote Polynesian
island.
Hokule’a will depart Molokai for Oahu on March 11, in time for a homecoming celebration at Kualoa
Park. The event will also mark the 25th anniversary of its launching.
The formal morning program will be followed by entertainment, educational activities, food and other
programs from noon to 5 p.m.
Ching said exceptional conditions allowed the Hokule’a to quickly sail through the doldrums, a region
known for dead calms and light breezes.
At times, however, Ching was challenged by rain swells and overcast skies that obscured the stars and
other celestial bodies used in navigation.

One of my freinds has a son on the crew of the Hokule'a. She said the only modern convenience they had was a radio-phone. No watches, no calendars, nothing modern. When they called home they were forbidden to ask the day or time or anything else which the ancient Polynesians would not have known. They really DID do it the Old-Fashioned way...very old!

The modern-day Knights Templar are part of the Freemasons of today. I think there is no connection with Rosecrutions - at least when my father was a Mason.
Illuminati and the like are also suggested as connected in some way. Of this I know nothing other than what I have read by the disgruntled and the guessers.
Of course, when asked, any Freemason would categorically deny any association. but that may or may not be true, as well!

Until the 60'd happened and turned the world upside down, Masonic attachment was a form of prestige. I do not know if anything internal happened to them, but Kings and Presidents were all Masons. If you were a shaker or mover, it was expected of you. My father was not a joiner, but this one he took to heart and became a 33rd degress Master Mason eventually - about as high as you can go.

Oh, indeed...one had to have proven himself a man of worth usually self-made men were most admired, but inherited status was also good (as in Kings). They are elitist, but not necessarily snobs. Shriners do a tremendous amount of good works but that branch did not appeal to my serious-minded father. All you have to be is free and accepted and believe in God. Blacks and Jews and all others that I know of were welcome. Perhaps it has changed and people are reading things into the wording of the degrees and ceremonies which meant different things in another era. I truly do not know since my father was tight-lipped about all thing Masonic.

You have left out Surrey - in your showing of Stone Circles etc. One thing we do have is circles of ancient trees - one of which is near Polesden Lacey and is on the way to Boxhill. There definitly ley lines in Surrey - one on St. Martha's Hill a very strange place - have often picnicked there - you can actually see the ley line it is extremely magnetic and has a strange feel around it. These cirles of ancient trees - Yew most of them are also strange and much used in Witchcraft. In Bookham there is a very ancient common - woods where witchcraft is still practiced. When Heather my friend and I were searching for Ley lines we came across the circle used by them. My dog who was with us behaved in a peculiar manner, but it was he who found it. Of course they would be fully aware of the ancient ley lines and use them.

Leith Hill did get a mention earlier with its nine parish boundaries intersecting and the tower that ensured a viewpoint over 1,000ft high in South-East England. There is also a pond near Boxhill traditionally believed to be bottomless.
Surrey is my original stamping-ground too, though I am not a big believer in ley-lines. Also I do not see why dogs would be susceptible to geo-magnetism; is the theory that humans would be, but have shut it out?

Buildings and landscapes, temples, Mother of all - Earth, the physics of invisible and immortal
by David Pinnegar BSC ARCS
URGENT SOS: THE TIMES NEWSPAPER REPORTS THAT STONEHENGE IS IN DANGER
An old man once asked what was the difference between someone from the town and someone from the countryside. "The
town man", he said, "is clever. The country man is wise".
Town men might laugh at the bee-keeper talking to his bees or the seedsman talking to his plants and tell them that they are
mad. When a swarm of wild bees in the walls of Hammerwood heard a bee-keeper proposing to kill them for fear of the
spread of disease, the bees heard him and felt my fear for them! Within two hours they had fled elsewhere.
Increasingly that which was unimaginable is now understandable. What would the medieval peasant have thought about that
biblical story of Adam being put to sleep, cut open, the extraction of a rib and his being sewn back together, alive?
In the past, life was simple - it was all a matter of belief. As we ate of the tree of knowledge, life became less clear. With
imperfect knowledge Darwinists told us that we evolved from a primeval sea of life and they disrupted the faith of many. Yet
scientific understanding of the DNA mechanism may yet confirm conclusively our old beliefs. If life ever evolved from chaos,
the ancient myths suggest that it did so in another creation.
What was light long ago has faded into darkness. Imperfect knowledge plunges us into a sea of uncertainty but in the deeper
knowledge of science we rediscover the beauty of creation. The job common to artists, priests and scientists is to make that
which was invisible visible. The task of the museum curator is to preserve the source materials.
Astrology should by reason have no connexion with fact or science. It's apparent former connotations with spiritualists and
the occult justified its treatment with the ultimate of caution and scepticism. The availability of modern computer software,
however, has transformed the treatment of the subject from a dubious art to a calculated mechanism. Upon acquiring such
an "instant astrologer" program over the recent year, purely for fun, my perception of the subject has been transformed. The
results, based upon accurate information relating to the subject's time and place of birth, can often give a most remarkable
insight into the characteristics of the person concerned. Their strengths and weaknesses, when revealed can be of positive
benefit to them. Large commercial organisations take astrology as seriously as graphology in parallel with CVs in assessing
prospective candidates for jobs.
So why should it work? What connexion can there be between our destiny cast at the time of our birth and the planets and
stars? The idea that gravity is involved is not new: The moon and planets all exert their gravitational forces and this has a
visible effect on the tides. The connexion with the perception of water in our bodies is then derived. Epidemiologists take the
subject seriously. But the effect is more than the simple alteration of water levels: each planet and astral constellation
appears to exert differing characteristics which affect our behaviour. (People's behaviour, as well as the weather, is
currently being influenced by a massive heavenly body which is travelling through the solar system. The effect is almost
as a perpetual full moon!) We are controlled by thought and, if the results of astrology are testimony to the effect, there is an
apparent communication in the control of our thought at the moment we are born.
Astrology thus provides an idea that there is some influence of the heavenly bodies upon our thoughts by reason of a
gravitational communication, some sort of telepathy.
Matthew 17:20
If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall
remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
John 3:12
If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
At risk of ridicule, an American hypnotherapist, Dolores Cannon records in her book "Keepers of the Garden" an account of
a patient who under regression was, if you like, under the delusion that he was an extra-terrestrial upon another planet.
Hiroshima sent waves to "them up there" and, he says, "they" are worried by us. Before quantum physics, conventionalists
who had heard of relativity would have said it was impossible - nothing can travel faster than the speed of light.
According to Cannon's patient "them up there" know what we are thinking: the pyramids and the Washington Monument are
the earth's telepathic transmitters! Such a concept may not be as ridiculous as it seems: if telepathic waves are gravitational,
tall massive obelisks will vibrate with the earth beneath them, just as a seismologist's earthquake measuring device, and
transmit waves like our tall television transmitters. Similarly, the one thing common to pyramids is mass which leads
to the distortion of the earth's gravitational field, with chambers, tunnels and long small shafts - just like
gravitational microwave resonators, waveguides and transmitters.
The Natural Law Party of Transcendental Meditationalists with their ridiculed Yogic Flying claim that, by 200 of their
members practising in an area afflicted by inner-city troubles, they can reduce the crime rate. The idea is that they are
reducing their mind to the purist levels of thought and conveying these by some telepathic influence. They must believe it with
the greatest of sincerity. In the course of Yogic meditation, not only is the mind straightened into coherent thoughts, just as
light waves in a laser, but the back is straightened. Perhaps in the connexion of our brain to the straightened spine and
thereafter to an array of bones in the rib cage we have within each of us a powerful capacity to transmit and receive
telepathic waves.
As Christians, when we pray, we must believe in telepathy because how else are we allowing "the spirit" of God to talk to us
and we to Him? And don't we believe that the more of us who are praying simultaneously, the more influence our prayers
might have on world events?
The ancient Cretans believed in the earth as mother and their buildings had to pay reverence to the earth and all
that lived therein (Vincent Scully The Earth, the Temple and the Gods). The Minoan palaces together with the Greek
temples were carefully aligned upon manifestations of the earth's features - its valleys and its hills. Just as we
look at television transmitting aerials (dipoles) and might compare them to "telepathic" obelisks, another form of
television aerial familiar to us has arrays of parallel elements - just like the repeating masses of the columns of
ancient Greek temples, aligned on massive distortions of the earth's gravitational field.
Perhaps neither the Classicists nor the Gothicists were wrong in their differing advocations for church architecture? Perhaps
we may rediscover the legendary secret knowledge of the ancient stone masons? Perhaps churches must have either tall
towers or spires pointing to heaven, or vast arrays of classical columns focused in a portico? Within such churches, whether
gothic or classical, more columns are to be found binding the members of the church together and holding up the roof and
perhaps connecting gravitational waves as we pray.
Modern physics confirms that there is matter, perhaps called "super-symmetric matter", which we can neither see nor detect
because it is independent of the properties of electrons and electromagnetism. (This suggests the veracity of the otherwise
incredible story of Claude Vorilhon Rael, which includes a specific reference to metal: "The book which tells the truth"). In the
"Super Unification Thory" of modern physics, super-symmetric matter is linked with the nature of gravity. The transmission of
matter symmetry information is required by modern quantum theory to be instantaneous. Because super-symmetric matter
contains none of the properties of electrons, electromagnetic waves cannot interact with it and we therefore cannot see it.
Gravitational waves do affect us: there are people who we call "lunatics" who are directly affected by the gravity of the moon.
We see the water of the tides move too. We are ourselves 90% water - and our brains are equally full of it. The water
molecule is physically and electrically lop-sided, imbalanced. As water molecules move, electrical charges move and
interfere with other electrical charges moving in our brains. As our brains move charges, they move water molecules with
them!
The formerly incredible and intangible begins thus to have foundation in physics. Our ancient beliefs of what we were told at
the beginning of time should be our foundation: departure from these is more likely to be an aberration of an imperfect
science rather than an imperfection of what we were told.
When we meet the next messenger of our Creation, will we believe him when he is sent to tell us of things unseen now to us
but seen in heaven? Will we recognise "the Son of man coming from the clouds"? Will we crucify him too? That which was
inconceivable a couple of generations ago now seems possible and daily the scientists are proving creation to be true.
Week by week we learn of new advances in our knowledge of DNA, including in 1995 the discovery of the section of DNA
which counts the number of times a cell has divided and thereby controls the lifetime of the body. The removal of this section
from the DNA code results in a body of everlasting lifetime. Immortals and those pre-flood lifetimes of hundreds of years are
myth no more.

The stone circles of The Gambia
Although West Africa has no monuments comparable to the Pyramids and Temples of Ancient Egypt or the ruins of Zimbabwe, it has in the stone circles of the Senegal and the Gambia impressive remains that have puzzled the few travellers who have examined them. Stone circles of many types are found throughout Europe and the Near East, though nowhere is there so large a concentration as found on the north bank of the river Gambia.
Here there are hundreds of circles containing many curious features and in particular the unique V or Lyre stones. The commonest shape is round like a pillar with a flat top. Others are square; some taper upwards. There are small stones with a cup-shaped hollow on top. Others have a ball cut in the round top of the stone. There is a recumbent stone shaped like a pillow.
The Circles are composed of standing stones between ten and twenty four in any particular circle. One of the striking feature is that almost all the stones forming a given circle are of the same height and size. Their height above the ground varying between two hundred and forty five (245cm) centimeters and sixty centimeters (60cm). The diameter is from thirty centimeters (30cm) to one hundred centimeters (100cm).
The largest stones which are at N'jai Kunda must weigh about ten tons each. They were brought down a steep hillside and their transportation on rollers or on hammocks must have presented formidable difficulties and have required a considerable labor force.
The stone circles at Wassu
As a results of Laboratory tests at the University of Dakar, the date of the sample was found to be from 750 A.D plus or minus 110 years.
The stones were cut out of laterite (" a cementation of ferruginous sandstone ") that occurs in large outcrops in this region. It is a feature of this stone that it hardens upon exposure to the air, and that prior to such exposure it is relatively easy to quarry.
Where several circles are found on the same site the exterior stones form a continuos line as at Wassu.
A lot of explanations have been given about the shape of the Senegambia Stone Circles by Islamic historians and wise observers.
One of such explanations was revealed by the late Alhaji Kemoring Jaiteh a well known Islamic scholar of Kuntaur Fulla Kunda in Niani. According to his writings, if a small stone stands near a large one, that shows that, some one was buried with his/her child. Similarly, if the stones are V-shape, that pictures that two close relatives died on the same day and were buried together.
The circles are said to be built around mounds of kings and chiefs, in the same way as royal persons were buried in the ancient empire of Ghana.
Once Islam was brought into Senegambia in the 11th century, devout Muslims especially the "Karamos" were also buried in the same way. Consequently, some of these Circles became holy places.
Today, small stones and vegetables like tomatoes are still left on the stones. Some of these stones are said to shine bright at night.

Did you get my email? That's why I asked if there was a ley line map of Africa. I wondered if it was connected. Did the pictures send OK by email, I just lifted them off the site and they downloaded as jpeg files. These stones are made out of the stuff they make roads with. It's a red stone, I think it's cut in one piece rather than made up of lots of small stones. It just looks crumbly.

This is part of a very long but fascinating article on what are ley lines and are they real. Check it out http://www.isr.umd.edu/~jasonp/leyline.html
Ley Lines and Coincidence
"So, recently folks have been connecting
up all these ancient sites with straight
lines. They can get four, five, even six
of them, all in a row."
"Sure, but it's all by chance, isn't it?"
Is it?
Every time I brought up the ley phenomenon to the uninitiated,
I was immediately cut off by this question. The English countryside
is full of very ancient sites and earthworks, and many of these
fall on alignments over ten miles long, with eerie accuracy. Examples
can be found of these "ley lines" that seem to defy the law of averages,
and one would be hard-pressed to believe that such cases could possibly
arise by chance.
This paper will explore the statistics of ley lines. Leys are
a controversial topic, and objections to their being intentional have
arisen from many directions. I will examine what physically constitutes a
ley line and then review previous work on how likely a ley line is to
arise by chance. A sizeable portion of this paper will then be devoted to
my own computer experiments. Note in passing that to focus on ley
statistics requires being sketchy in other areas.
What's In a Ley?
The simplest answer is "prehistoric standing stones and
earthworks", but already there is controversy. Prehistory spans a
very long period, and when two random "ancient" structures are
chosen it is possible that these features were constructed in
periods separated by almost 4000 years (WB 1983:31). Thus those two
structures could have been constructed by very different societies,
and have had nothing to do with each other.
Many ley hunters when including (non-prehistoric) churches in
leys, cite a letter from Pope Gregory in 601 AD stating that pagan
"temples" ought not to be destroyed, but purified and converted to
churches (Watkins 194:117). Indeed, there are standing stones in
country churchyards, as Watkins shows. Including all churches
because of this, however, is unrealistic. Devereux and Thomson list
a ley through London that consists of five medieval churches,
despite the fact that
"...the city site, while not completely de-
serted...was of no special importance until
the Romans founded their settlement" (WB 1983:138)
Likewise with castles: a mound is more defensible than flat
ground, and many prehistoric mounds exist; castle keeps, then,
belong on ley lines. It is again unrealistic, however, that all
medieval nobility would have their choice of castle site dictated
by existing terrain, when they could simply have the terrain
modified to suit their wishes exactly.
Watkins hypothesized that ley lines were the sighting points
for a vast network of "straight tracks" that covered prehistoric
England, and his book includes several crossroads used as ley
points and instances of dirt pathways uncovered in the course of
sewer excavation (Watkins 1948:38-39).
The impression received is that deciding whether a given site
is a viable candidate for being a "ley point" is a difficult matter
and would often require archaeological evidence. Ley hunting is
typically an easy matter, however. Most ley hunters would only
connect the ley points on an Ordnance Service (OS) map and then
confirm the ley points in the field. Most do not perform more
orthodox research which would tell, for example, that the straight
paths through England are mostly "Planned Countryside" enacted by
Parliament in the 18th and 19th Centuries, while older tracks than
these are "notoriously devoid of straight lines" (WB 1983:88).
Notice also that many of the citations in this paper are from
Williamson and Bellamy, both archaeologists; this is because they
include historical evidence where others do not.
In fairness to the existing material, "questionable" ley sites
(small mark stones, trees, stretches of modern road) are usually
ignored in a published ley.
How wide must an "old straight track" be? Watkins insisted
that ancient tracks be just wide enough to travel on foot, perhaps
two to four yards (DT 1979:72). Using a very sharp pencil on an OS
map produces an effective line about 30 feet wide; this would be
about the best one could expect without doing fieldwork.
Statistical studies often could not work with widths less than a
hundred yards (see Appendix).
Ley Statistics
Watkins was the first (1925) to attempt answering the question
of whether ley lines of significant size could arise by chance
(Watkins 1948:203-204). The OS sheet of Andover contains 51
churches that can be organized into 1 five-point, 8 four-point and
29 three-point leys. To see how many leys could be expected by
chance he marked out 51 crosses "haphazardly" on a similar size
sheet, and found no five-point, 1 four-point and 33 three-point
leys. He concluded from this that with 50 sites, finding a four-
point ley by chance was unlikely, and a five-point ley was ironclad
evidence that the placement was deliberate.
From this he developed a rating system (DT 1979:31) that
assigned points to possible ley features: "ancient sites" got a
full point, and incidental features like stretches of road, "mark
stones", or "ancient trees" fractions of a point. If the total
summed to 5 or more the ley was deemed to be deliberate.
Peter Furness in 1965 derived a closed-form expression
(details unavailable) for the probability of a given size ley
existing (DT 1979:38), and from this declared that a seven-point
ley would only arise in 1 out of 1000 OS maps. Further (WB
1983:94), assuming a given map had 200 ley points, he calculated
that one could expect 1570 three-point, 72 four-point and 2 five-point
alignments to occur by chance. Confirmation of a sort came
from Robert Forrest (WB 1983:95), whose computer study is the only
one of its kind available. His 200 random point run found that 752
three-point, 33 four-point and 2 five-point ley lines existed by
chance alone, and suggested that Watkins' criterion of a five-point
ley being almost impossible was unrealistic for large collections
of points.
Both these studies required many assumptions (WB 1983:96-98):
that there were only 200 points in the average map (the average is
300 to 400), that they were all small (some earthworks can reach 10
acres in area), all evenly distributed, etc. Accounting for these
factors theoretically would have been next-to-impossible, so
Forrest instead ran a simulation. This involved looking at a sample
map, randomizing the points in it but keeping their distribution
the same, and plotting all the ley lines by hand. This time many
more lines were found: 39 five-point, 10 six-point and 1 seven-point
alignments.
There is also a famous study by John Michell, but I omit it
due to doubts about its assumptions. The interested reader should
consult (WB 1983:102-106).
Personal Investigation
"The past evidence for leys is statisti-
cally poor. It is to be hoped that future
evidence will be of a much more rigorous
nature." -Robert Forrest (DT 1979:39)
Computer work on ley line statistics seems to have stopped,
and I wondered if more could be learned with modern computers and
recent mathematical results. I therefore have tried to analyze the
available evidence based on my own numerical experiments. Though I
have attempted to make assumptions as realistic as possible,
getting answers requires ignoring a lot of information, like the
length of a given ley or the topography of the sample region.
The research methodology and results continue in this fascinating article.

I have a little bit of information about magnetic fields in the ocean. It seems that the lemon sharks hatched in the Bimini Lagoon unfailing return every year their natal waters to lay their own eggs. How do they find their way? Magnetic fields. It seems the sharks can sense the proper magnetic field, get onto it, and use like a highway to get to their destination. It never fails them. It would seem knowing where you're going is really important when you're a fish that can't swim backward.

Now folks a serious question to do with geomagnatism. Some years ago I was told
I study Astronomy by the way and meteorology, that they couldn't find the magnetic north pole - apparantly it keeps wondering about the place - now that must have an effect on
ley lines etc. The pool near Boxhill that was being talked about is called the Mill Pond it has not far from the edge and extraordinarily deep hole - and when you look at it it is coloured the deepest and most beautiful blue - and we were told as children not to swim in the Mill Pond because it was so deep. In fact for many years Leatherhead my home town had all its water from there - it was the softest, tastiest water I have ever tasted - now its been taken over and they get London water. ugh.
Do you think whales beach themselves because of the change in the magnetic north sorry to switch back but strange things are happening around the world and its got my attenae working.

http://wwwneic.cr.usgs.gov/neis/plate_tectonics/rift.html
Rift in the ocean floor through which red-hot magma is squeezed up
from the mantle. The magma solidifies with a magnetic polarity
corresponding to that of the Earth's magnetic field. After a long interval
of time, the Earth's polarity changes, that is, the magnetic north pole
becomes the magnetic south pole, and so the polarity of the newly
formed crust changes, too. As new magma is squeezed in, the older
crust is moved out from the midocean ridge like a conveyor belt. This
produces a series of strips of rock magnetized in opposite senses, with
the magnetic stripes parallel and symmetrical to the ridges.
Shallow-focus earthquakes occur on the ridge; intermediate and
deep-focus earthquakes occur on the downgoing plate as it collides
with another plate.

The moon is large enough to cause tides as it revolves around us. When it is on the same side of us that the sun is, the tidal pull is stronger and the tides higher. Spring tides are strongest because in our eliptical orbit, the sun is closest to us. It is more centrifugal - centripital force than magnetism which does the pulling.

Yup! It is massive enough that it is being held into orbit by the sun pulling one way and the Earth pulling the other. That is often how they discover second stars orbiting a large star or planets orbiting a single star. The stars in question tend to have less-than-perfect orbits, and these "Perturbations" are due to the pull of the planets or the minor stars orbiting them.

We went for a walk yesterday from Boxhill station out towards Polesden Lacey and back through Westhumble. Went past Tanners Hatch, a remote youth hostel spoiled by bombs in the War. We read that during the rebuilding in 1970, an old woman knocked on the door one evening asking the way to Wotton Hatch. She was invited in by the National Trust people and given a meal, and complimented them on the work done to the house, saying she had lived there herself long ago. When the time came for her to leave the door was opened, but she had disappeared, and an owl was sitting on the back of the chair she had been in, the same owl that had been the only creature watching the renovation work.
You have to see this cottage in its little thickly-wooded valley to appreciate the spookiness of this story, however apocryphal. Nothing to do with Geomagnetism and sharks, sorry.

Get thee to a auromotive parts store or wherever you can find bronze brazing rods. Mine are about 36" or 1 meter long. You'll need two. They are skinny so I used empty stick ball pen outsides with the ink chamber removed. You're gonna need a vise here or a pair of pliers and a strong arm 'cause you need to bend at a right angle about 4" (10 cm) of one end. David used just his bare hands but I found it easier to hold steady with a larger thing to grip. The rods must be held loosely enough to swing freely.

Now that you have them in your hands and you can pivot your body without moving your feet and have the rods swing in them, we are off to try them out. Holding them so the long parts are parallel to the ground and with your elbows tight to your sides so you do not try to move the rods, consider your hands and arms extensions of your rods. Work in your house first so you know if there are pipes under you and that you are NOT moving the rods. Holding your arms and wrists rigid and holding loosely to your rods but keeping them straight out in front of you, walk slowly across the room.

I'm sorry to throw the topic back to the Moon, but it is a massive sattelite to the Earth. Being 1/6 the size of the Earth makes it so large in fact that the Earth and Moon together can be considered a double planet.
