While watching the 2010 JUNO AWARDS - The CANADIAN equivalent of the Grammy awards - there was a commercial in which I saw that, on The Big Bang Theory (REPLAY) Monday, April 19, 2010 "the Gorilla Experiment", Sheldon teaches Penny Physics!
You might be able to catch the whole replay at CTV.ca I've only included selected captures because the WHOLE SHow (2hrs) was a synch-fest with every award and performance!!
Classified opened the 2010 Juno Awards with his song OH CANADA... CLASSIFIED - Oh Canada!
I originally included this video in the article Tiger Woods - Tareq and Michaele and the Math of the Epiphany from November 2009 on this blog. (See blog archives)
Alex Bilodeau (AB), first ever Olympian to win a Gold Medal on Canadian soil at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, and ">subject of this blog in February 2010, introduces Michael Bublé (MB) with the big "Blue Diamond" IN THE BACKGROUND!
Michael Bublé (MB) WINs 'Album of the Year' for his album "Crazy Love"
Michael Bublé had performed his song "Haven't Met You Yet" earlier during the awards ceremony.
Wavin' Flag is also the Official Theme Song for the South Africa FIFA World Cup 2010. South Africa is also the homeland of Jake Kotze of The Blob blog and the Sync Whole blog - Jake now lives in my (and Jim Sanders of the Sync Whole blog) hometown of Winnipeg, MB, Canada.
Jully Black, Shiloh, Blue Rodeo, and MORE join K'NAAN's Wavin Flag.
... it seems that the symbolism and fiction of the TV Series "V" has collided with reality.
During the Episode of "V", entitled "Welcome to the War", which aired on March 30, 2010 on the ABC TV network, we saw Elizabeth Mitchell's character on the show, FBI Agent Erica Evans, lookup the address of mercenary and former SAS officer named Kyle Hobbes in an FBI database.
There was a brief flash of the results of her address search shown and this address was displayed as the last known address for Charles Mesure's character of Kyle Hobbes.
1402 ELLRIDGE AVE NY,NY 10028
As HOBBES is the name of a TIGER from the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes and we synchromystics and semioticians have been tracking the "Tiger" appearances lately, the HOBBES reference appearing in the TV show "V" immediately had my attention...
As usual, JiM and Jake from The Synch Whole were live tweeting the LOST episode which aired just before the "V" episode. That night I participated in the live LOST twittering and you can find my replies to @Syncwinnipeg and @Seallion (JiM and Jake) using the twitter gadget in the right column of this page or by visiting my twitter page.
Coincidentally, Elizabeth Mitchell also played Dr. Juliet Burke on the ABC TV series LOST.
Wanna guess what the date was in the "JULIAN" calendar on 3.30.2010, 4.11.2010 and 4.12.2010 ?! ...
4.12.2010 (Gregorian Calendar) is 3.30.2010 (Julian Calendar)
Here is what I tweeted after seeing "Hobbes's" address flashed on the screen...
You'll note the reference to ELLRIDGE STREET in New York, NY. However, I noted that there is NO Ellridge Street in New York, NY. I did, however, notice that there is an ELDRIDGE ST in both New York, NY (the Lower East Side) and Winnipeg, MB.
anyway... moving on to the weirdness and fiction vs reality collision....
This is what is making NEWS out of New York city today....
a 7 alarm blaze in which 11 have been hurt:
(total)Recall the address from the V Lookup...
1402 ELLRIDGE AVE NY,NY 10028
^^^^
See the 4, and 12 in the 1402 ?! as in 4.12.2010 ? and it is "14" days, or 2 weeks, between the 03.30.2010 episode of "V" and the fire in New York.
(4.12.2010 in Gregorian Calendar is 3.30.2010 in JULIan Calendar)
Interesting also that an "L" (being the 10th letter, as in 4/12/10), such as the EXTRA "L" instead of a "D" in EL'L'RIDGE, can also indicate a CORNER (as in a building on the CORNER of an intersection "X" - which is also the 24th letter I might add!)
and if we also look closely at that ZIP we see "10028"
The fire burned from #281 - #285 Grand St (at Eldridge St.)
We could also note that from the LATIN/Roman, the letter "L" and the letter "D" are considered Roman Numerals... but I will leave that up to the reader to discover further.
Over 250 firefighters responded to the emergency call at 285 Grand Street, a six-story residential building that also contains commercial space.
At its fiercest, flames shot up 20 to 30 feet from the roof of the building.
According to BNO News, the 911 call came in at 10:14 pm and fire crews were on the scene at 10:16 pm.
At least seven firefighters and one civilian were injured. The building's residents have all been evacuated.
More details to come.
285 GRAND ST at the corner of GRAND Street and ELDRIDGE St. in New York no less. and the 911 call came in at 22:14 (note the date and time on the Huffington Story!)
124,142,214,241,412,421 The old JUPITER/Zeus/Abe numbers of the striped like a TIGER planet! (Derived from the symbol for Jupiter which contains the numbers 4, 2 ,and 1 - see the symbol in the "GET IN THE SPIRIT FLOW" slideshow in the right column)
and FOX NEWS NY has this to say about the blaze...
Eleven people have been injured by the fire, including a fireman burnt fighting the blaze.
Apr. 12: Firefighters attempt to put out a large blaze near 285 Grand Street in New York City. More than 250 firefighters are battling a massive fire in New York's Chinatown, on Manhattan's lower east side, a New York Fire Department spokesman said Monday.
The alarm was first raised at 10:14 p.m. ET Sunday, when the out-of-control blaze quickly escalated to a seven-alarm fire at a six-story building on Grand Street.
Eleven people have been hurt during the fire including a fireman burnt fighting the blaze, the NYFD spokesman said.
Six other firefighters, a paramedic and three civilians -- including a 92-year-old male who suffered a "cardiac condition" -- have also been injured.
Residents of the building, which is mostly residential, have been evacuated.
Verrry Interesting...
and here's the view from Google Maps of the building that's blazing at the corner of Grand St and ELDRIDGE St...
285 Grand St New York, NY 10002, USA
Interesting Chinese tiger-orange awning on that building... COMET "JOY"CE. JOY, of course being derived from JOVIAL which is derived from JOVE, aka the planet and god JUPITER.
"Here COME the ET's of JOY..."
and for those paying attention to 'the tiger' and world events in this CHINESE year of the TIGER! ...
our usual subject of Mr. Tiger Woods (see the Blog Archive 2009-November in the right column of this page) just completed his first golf tournament, The Masters at Augusta National Golf Club TODAY (Sunday 4/11/2010)!
The Masters was Tiger's first tournament play after his 144 day hiatus due to marital issues and rehab.
and a recent subject of this blog, my fellow Canadian, Mr. Jim Carrey has also (and most likely unwittingly) been drawn into the mouth of the TIGER with his recent tweets about Tiger and Elin Woods...
His tweets even made the Telegraph NEWSpaper in the UK.
Carrey, 48, tweeted that Nordegren should have been aware of her husband's marital indiscretions.
The actor, who currently stars in "I Love You Phillip Morris", wrote that no wife should have missed that much infidelity".
He said: "No wife is blind enough to miss that much infidelity. Elin had 2 b a willing participant on the ride 4 whatever reason. kids/lifestyle."
The Liar, Liar star, who recently split from Jenny McCarthy after five years, added that Nordegren, 30, would have been wise to keep quiet for the sake of their children.
Carrey's tweet received a volley of critical responses from other "twitterers" forcing him to defend himself.
He insisted that he did not condone infidelity.
In a tweet on Friday Carrey wrote "Tiger Woods owes nothing 2 anyone but himself."
He added: "I want 2 make it CLEAR that I do not condone infidelity at all, but 2 some degree the responsibility 4 it is shared by both people."
Tiger Woods, 34, returned to competitive golf at the Masters this weekend following a five month lay-off where it was rumoured he attended a clinic for sex addicts after a string of women came forward alleging affairs with the 14-times major winner.
Jim Carrey used the 2 and 4 together in his tweets...
~SE~ NOTE to Jim Carrey: "Don't worry about the Telegraph BS Jim, you're just a synchromystic is all! Glad to read in your latest you choose to stay awake and be Jim! Welcome to the Wonderful World of Everything's Connected! And best wishes also to You and Obi-Wan / Ewan McGregor with your upcoming movie!"
Phillip Morris... I think I hear a green masked man sayin "SMOKIN!"
BONUS SIDE NOTE: Another connection between LOST, V, AbE/APE and HOBBES can also be found in the mystery of SIMEON HOBBES

From NY to OZ...
'Oz' munchkin Raabe dies By POLLY ANDERSON -- The Associated Press
Meinhardt Raabe, who played the Munchkin coroner in "The Wizard of Oz" and proclaimed in the movie that the Wicked Witch of the East was "really most sincerely dead," has died. He was 94.
His caregiver, Cindy Bosnyak, said Raabe -- pronounced RAH'-bee -- died Friday morning at a hospital in Orange Park, Fla. He was one of the few surviving Munchkins from the 1939 film.
Bosnyak said he complained of a sore throat at his retirement community before collapsing and going into cardiac arrest. He was taken to Orange Park Medical Center, where he later died, she said.
"He had a headful of hair at 94 and he ... remembered everything everyday," she said. "To me he was a walking history book, very alert."
Raabe was one of the 124 Munchkins in the film classic and one of only nine who had speaking parts. He was 22 years old and a show business veteran, earning money for college as a "midget" performer, as they were called then, when the movie was shot in 1938.
Raabe portrayed the diminutive Munchkin official who solemnly pronounces the witch dead after Dorothy's farmhouse lands on her: "As coroner I must aver, I thoroughly examined her, And she's not only merely dead, she's really most sincerely dead."
His costume included a huge hat with a rolled brim, and dyed yak hair was used for his handlebar moustache and long beard.
In a 1988 Associated Press interview, he said he had no idea the movie would become a classic, because at the time of its release, it was overshadowed by "Gone With the Wind."
"It was only after CBS got the film in 1956 and used it for their promotions that it became as well known," he said.
"There is nothing in the picture that dates it," he said. "There are no old vintage cars or old vintage streetcars. ... It's a fantasy picture that will be fantasy for generations to come."
Raabe was about 31/2 feet tall when the movie was made. He eventually grew to about 41/2 feet. He toured the country for 30 years in the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile, promoting hot dogs as "Little Oscar, the World's Smallest Chef."
He also enjoyed going to Oz nostalgia events and getting fan mail.
"It's an ego trip," he said. "This is our reward, the nostalgia."
In 2005, his book "Memories of a Munchkin: An Illustrated Walk Down the Yellow Brick Road," co-written by Daniel Kinske, was published. In later years, he lived in a retirement community in Penney Farms, Fla.
In 2007, Raabe was one of seven surviving Munchkins on hand when the Munchkins were honoured in Los Angeles with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Raabe said he couldn't remember what he was paid for his role in the movie, but that it was very low.
"By today's standards, people would say you were crazy to work for that," he said.
Raabe, born in Watertown, Wis., in 1915, was a member of the Midget City cast at the Chicago World's Fair in 1934. He also performed at other fairs, including the San Diego Exposition in 1935.
"By working at these world's fairs as a midget, I was able to work my way through the university," Raabe said. He earned a bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of Wisconsin and, years later, a master's degree in business administration from Drexel University.
Raabe married Marie Hartline, who worked for a vaudeville show called Rose's Royal Midget Troupe, in 1946. She died in a car crash in 1997.
Raabe said some little people resented the word "midget," but that was the description widely used when he was in show business.
"My wife and I were both in show business, were both midgets. My wife worked from 1929 to 1932 as a member of Rose's Royal Midgets, the largest midget troupe in vaudeville," he said.
Raabe became a regular visitor to the annual OzFest in Chittenango, N.Y., the birthplace of "Oz" author L. Frank Baum, after reading about it in a magazine in the late 1980s.
"Meinhardt wrote us a letter and said, 'You know I'm a Munchkin. I was in this movie. Would you ever be interested in having me come.' Of course, after we stopped screaming ...," organizer Barbara Evans said in 1998.
"Things didn't start to get really big until Meinhardt first came and we started getting the Munchkins to come," said Evans.
UPDATE 4.12.2010 11:23pm ET
"ELDRIDGE" made an appearance tonight on the latest episode of the CBS series Two and a Half Men entitled 'Keith MOON is Vomiting in His Grave'...
The episode synopsis says: "Jake's friend ELDRIDGE is a BAD influence. Alan likes Eldridge's attractive MOM. (guest Courtney Thorne-Smith)."
Courtney Thorne-Smith's Wikipedia page tells us: Thorne-Smith made her first film appearance in the 1986 feature film drama Lucas alongside Winona Ryder, Corey Haim, and Charlie Sheen.
(I found this reversed (left to right) vid of 2 1/2 Men epi S.7 epi 19 on Youtube check HULU.com or Two and a Half Men on CBS.com for the real one.)
note: the show titles begin at 02:42
SIDE NOTE: ... the "SUPER HERO" sub theme, that we hear Charlie singing about (Super Dad), also spilled over into the latest episode of The Big Bang Theory S.3 epi. 19 - "The Wheaton Recurrence" (w/guest Wil Wheaton )
"WW" Wil Wheaton is probably best known for his role as "Wesley Crusher" on Star Trek: TNG
Also an interesting way of continuing with "LUCAS". Wil Wheaton quotes STAR WARS, by George LUCAS, and Sheldon retorts about that not being from his franchise.
An interesting connection to the New York (Grand St and Eldridge) Fire and Indiana: On April 9, there was also a fire on a GRAND AVE in Terre Haute, Indiana. Here's the Story from WTHITV.com:
Fire destroys home on Grand Avenue Updated: Friday, 09 Apr 2010, 11:26 PM EDT Published : Friday, 09 Apr 2010, 5:39 PM EDT TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - A fire destroys a Terre Haute home. It happened around 5:00 Friday evening at a home on Grand Avenue.
The home was fully involved in flames when firefighters arrived. At one point, all fire crews had to be called out from the inside of the home because it was too dangerous. Crews continued to fight the fire from the exterior.
Terre Haute Fire Chief Jeff Fisher says two boys who live in the home reported the blaze.
"The boys were outside playing basketball and one of them said they noticed some smoke and flames around a bail of hay on the outside of the house," said Fire Chief Jeff Fisher. "That's under investigation to find out exactly what happened there."
All of the residents of the home and all pets were able to get out safely. No one was injured in this blaze.
Another interesting connection to 'ELDRIDGE' is the one I tweeted (see above tweet pic capture), the 'USS ELDRIDGE'. The ship is famous for its central role in a Navy experiment to render ships invisible in what has come to be known as "The Phildelphia Experiment"
UPDATE 4.13.2010 02:04 am ET ELDRIDGE in Other NEWS (4.12.2010):
NORMAL — Appropriately, the three seniors took away most of the awards Monday night during the Illinois State Basketball Celebration at Redbird Arena.
After an eventful weekend, one senior had even more reason to celebrate.
Osiris Eldridge saw his possibility of being picked in the NBA Draft improve after an impressive performance during the Portsmouth (Va.) Invitational Tournament for 64 of the nation’s top seniors.
Eldridge averaged 14.3 points as his team fell in the championship game, but he thought it was more than scoring that helped him stand out.
“They said I’m a great combo guard because I can guard two positions, point guards and big shooting guards,” said Eldridge. “That’s what I did and picked up full court and tried to play my best offensively.” (more at story link above)
From Wikipedia: Kesha ROSE Sebert (born March 1, 1987), better known by her first name "Kesha" (pronounced /ˈkɛʃə/ KESH-ə, stylized Ke$ha), is an American pop singer and an active musician since 2005.
Ke$ha was born on 3/1 (or 1/3 in Canadian and EU (dd/mm) date notation) 13
She sang her new song "BLAH BLAH BLAH" with "The 303"... (nudge nudge wink wink... NEE!)
If you're a regular reader of Strange Eye or The Synch Whole you'll also note that "KESHA" is an anagram for "SHAKE" As in "William SHAKE-SPEARE" and the SPEARE-SHAKER god of water and EarthQuakes (heart-quakes), the dude with the TRIDENT, POSeIdON.
13 is also a POSeIdON number through the PSI / Trident
Ψ
7 x 6 = 42
42 is the Jupiter/Zeus/Wotan/Odin/Abe number
(SIDE NOTE: 2,4 / 4,2 puts the year "1776, 17-76" in a Whole new light don't it??>) (and if you doubt it... 7 and 2 are intimately linked... look at the bottom of the 2 and you'll find your 7 - give 2 a spin just like W-M!) (the 7th month is JULY - now add the 4 to mix and you'll get 7.4.1776 ) (The ABE Lincoln Statue in Temple ZEUS in DC sure makes more zense now !)
If we (total) recall the Strange Eye articles from MARCH and APRIL 2009 (1 year ago)
Has an Native American (Dakota/Assiniboine) in a Head Dress leaning (on elbow) on the ARK of the Covenant on top the building's EAST entrance
The ASSINIBOINE river runs right behind the MB Legislative Building !!
If you read that article by Jake Kotze ("Overboard Manitoba") and my post comment, you'll note the position of the Winnipeg Art Galley to the MB Legislative Building. It forms an ARROW pointing NORTH.
Note "ROSLYN RD" runs parallel the ASSINIBOINE RIVER across from the MB Legislative Building to the South.
You'll also note the City Route #42 (4x2=8) and the City Route #62 (Os/OZ-borne) which surround the MB Legislative Building. (88, a solar heavenly number found also in 88 constellations)
The Golden Boy (eng) / EL NIÑO del ORO (esp) / Le Garçon D'Or (fr) (GOLD - the "Golden Child"/"Boy") See the Strange Eye article this month Shrek Forever After
The 8 rayed "Pool of the Black Star" sits directly below the Golden Boy on the Lowest (ground) level of the MB Legislative Building:
Between the Golden Boy and the 8-rayed pool of the Black Star sits the Templar Rose Cross DOME. (each of the blue rectangles contains a single ROSE) Note the ROSE in the center of the Cross.
Sacred Geometry of the Manitoba Legislative Building:
Here's the "White Horses", White and Red Cross and CROWN on the Manitoba Coat of Arms (There's even a beaver holding a six-petaled prairie thistle flower)
And just to make sure we've got it right... we can verify the 1,1,1,9 through the 1911 $5 (shift-4 5 = 9) Indian Head Gold Coin.
Also of Note: In 1911, the government of the province of Manitoba announced an architectural competition to all practicing architects in the British Empire and a grand prize of $10,000 was also offered for the selected design of the new Manitoba Legislative Building.
Some of the world's finest artists in paint and stonework were employed on the project. They included: Georges Gardet; muralist Frank Brangwyn; painter, Augustus Vincent Tack; and the famous stone and marble carvers, the Piccirilli Brothers, Albert Hodge, and William Rhind.
