Faster than a speeding bullet!

Here's your Reader's Digest version of the last few posters over at DamonCarltonandaPolarbear.com

FRAME 10:













































The URL: TrustMeLeaveItBe.com

"Kate says something similar to this URL to Jack in Something Nice Back Home "I'm gonna ask you... to trust me. Trust me. Just leave it be."
But I feel like I've heard Trust Me Leave It Be from someone else and I can't put my finger on it.














Frame 10 proved to be a bit of confusion. The powers that be did a great job of making fans feel lost!

I encourage you to head over to LostArgs.com to review the chain of events that occurred with things getting lost in translation. I know you'll find it very interesting.


POSTER: By Rob Jones titled The Swan Station.



















FRAME 11














































This clue shows up...

The URL reveal is nooysterhere.com
Jin said this line to Bernard in The Whole Truth.







POSTER: By Daniel Danger titled "And that's why my hand was shaking. Because this is not a man you go and see, this is a man who summons you."



















This was my very favorite LOST poster and I wanted this one terribly! Of course I didn't get it. Apparently it sold out in 10 seconds!


FRAME 13:



















This clue's font/colors connects to a 2007 movie called Ping Pong Playa.



















































WARNING!
THE FOLLOW VIDEO CLIP FOR THE URL REVEAL FROM SPiN N.Y. club MAY CONTAIN SPOILER SHOTS!!












The URL is didyouburyit.com was creatively revealed on a ping pong ball at the club.

This is said by LaFleur to Richard-
"The hydrogen bomb with "Jughead" written on the side. Did you bury it?" - In LaFleur.




POSTER: By Nate Duval titled The Barracks.





















Just a quick mention that Paul Scheer made an appearance on the Carson Daly Show. He chatted very briefly about being a huge LOST fan and about his presenting Damon and Carlton with the velvet painting he created at this years Comic Con. Paul felt that the fans needed it. The show is important to him and it was a way of "giving back".
He shares about his blog with all his LOST stuff and how he was contacted by Ronie Midfew Arts, {BTW, does Paul say MIFDEW?!!} and how they struck a deal to create original LOST artwork.

The past few poster experiences have left me thinking there may be some nonsense going on over at Ronie Midfew Arts. I have concerns they may not be running a tight ship over there.
It sparks my curiosity when we head over to the site and mysterious things are going on like words are misspelled, and banners with wrong date or erroneous information, etc.
"Mistakes" had been corrected right away, but not before we all got a good look at it.
You would imagine such a prestigious and influential corporation would not allow such immature grammar and language rules to be broken. Isn't there someone who checks and edits any and all copy before it is executed for publishing?
Somewhere down the line there is a breakdown of communication. Or maybe this is a strong case of "It's all in the details and they're wrong."

As far as my quest for one of theses unique and glorious works of LOST art, as I said in my last post, I just can't seem to beat the odds on a purchase.
Maybe if the Flash himself was here working my computer keyboard when the sale starts, he'd be the faster finger and beat these unbelievable sales that seem to be over in a flash!

Congratulations to those Losties who have been able to purchase posters and to those who got a little extra something with their purchase. I love to hear about when a fan gets that surprise sent to them. It's so damn exciting!!! It's LOSTASTIC!!

Until the next posters...

Love to all who are "LOST"™

Edification in Vagueness.

This clip of Mysteries of the Universe mysteriously found its way to me. It is said to be parts 5 and 6 of the episode highlighting the investigation into the Dharma Initiative. The segment is part of the DVD extras on the Season 5 DVD.

We go round and round with the investigative team trying to shine the light on the secrets of The Dharma Initiative. Again we are warned of the secret organization and its mysterious symbols.

On the Isle of Tonga in the South Pacific is the discovery of a 1 ton air dropped food pallet. All food is marked with the Dharma Bagua symbol on a field of white. Manufactured- unknown. The point of origin is unknown. They believe the delivery must have been intended to be dropped at the real Dharma outpost. Is there an outpost located on one of the 169 islands of Tonga?

They feel the D.I. has made mistakes. As a matter of fact we’re encouraged to Be Vigilant! Be Aware! Of anything that may be suspicious.

An Ann Arbor newspaper prints an article asking for test subjects that are needed for an anthropology experiment. The person in charge is Gerald DeGroot.

Recruitment is a global happening and we’re warned a similar instance may occur near you. WoooHoooo! I say BRING IT!














The investigators of the show claim to have vivid eye witness accounts to “things”.

An “update” is placed within the clip. {We don't have a date or time frame to tell us how much time has passed.} Since the original air date of this production they say they uncovered startling new information. They contacted one Olivia, who mysteriously disappeared for three years. She has reappeared and reveals nothing.

Things to Note…Questions to ask…

* Puzzle pieces.

* Bermuda Triangle-Missing planes. This mysterious happening occurs in the Atlantic Ocean waters. Any link to the D.I. and paranormal activity?

* Character.

* Symbol.

* Roots. Tree.

* Recruiting.

* Reel to reel tape.

* Files.

* Link.

* Documents.

* Records.

* Same testing used for the criminally insane.

* Bagua= Ancient Oriental symbol representing protection. One can stand in the middle of the octagon and be protected from all sides.

* Alvar Hanso is presumed to be tied to the food drop or weapons.
* They mention two clues: Octagonal Logo=special identifier. They found four variations but there may be more.














Mysteries of the Universe also reports that the church they introduced us to previously, now is missing church staff. The investigators went through the church garbage cans and found a charred document with a Dharma Lamppost symbol.

Miss Eloise Hawking is the new General Manager of the church. She has no birth certificate but is listed as the mother on the birth certificate of Daniel Faraday. They question why two different last names and no father listed for Dan.


Mysteries of the Universe isn’t the only one investigating things…Someone is investigation Mysteries of the Universe. I would do the same.














Of course you can’t help but wonder has another organization secretly taken over the D.I.? As a matter of fact that question keeps me up at night. I can't help but relive my own experience with the newly reconstituted Dharma Initiative last year. I was tested and assigned a position and then due to the economy the Dharma Initiative was sold to the television show LOST. This action put a stop to all their projects.

It’s no secret the south pacific is an ongoing character in the Mysteries of the Universes' investigation and mine. So it seems logical to me that I take a field trip to this tropical oasis for a glorious adventure and see firsthand if this is all fact or legend. I can only hope there is some sort of reinstatement of the position I was assigned last year and departure to the "Island" is in my immediate future. Hey, a girl can wish, can't she?!


Forcing questions in to the light of truth! Only time will tell…

Indeed the final chapter of this story will be written and the book will be closed...Or will it?

Poster Madness Continues.

Here's recap on the goings on over at
DamonCarltonandaPolarbear.com






FRAME 8:




This partial picture clue led us to this website that showed the full picture of this first clue...http://www.dgph.com.ar/

My research brought me to: Fair Wind to Java is a 1953 American adventure film directed by Joseph Kane and starring Fred MacMurray, Vera Ralston, Robert Douglas and Victor McLaglen. An American sailor voyages to search for diamonds on a volcanic island but has to contend with mysteries, pirates and an exploding volcano.

But we soon discover that we are really directed to...

"Parque Patricios, BA" which is a district of Buenos Aires.
Yay! Off to Argentina!

The Hatch by Kevin Tong

On the poster you can find “Deus Ex Machina” printed at the bottom of the island.









Cheng mentions to Jack the janitor that “LaFleur is a good man and runs a very tight operation” in the episode Namaste.

FRAME 9
This hunt begins with the image of two feet and an apple.











A clue to a recording mic on a mac computer.






Note: This is a Shure KSM32 S/L condenser mic.





This artwork is for the artist 88 Keys and his disk “The death of Adam”, released November 11, 2008.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_of_Adam





Research on 88 Keys and The Death of Adam leads me to:
Charles Misodi Njapa, better known by his stage name 88-Keys, is an American record producer and rapper.

http://deconrecords.com/

Decon- 84 Wooster Street. #503 Ny Ny 10012 212-343-8486

Decon Records is a New York based independent record label founded and operated through Decon Media, Inc. Founded in 2000 as a film production house.

Note: Although the mic in the clue is a Shure KSM32 S/L condenser mic, I'll note that Wikipedia lists the equipment used in recording this album and an AKG C 414-B – ULS recording mic was used.

Picture clue to Polo Life Thursday
http://polo67life.com/

88 Keys has a blog titled “I heart my polo lifestyle”- Ralph Lauren-Cape Lounge.

At one point the HUB showed us clocks for four time zones: New York, Los Angeles, London and Adelaide.




This all leads us to the 88 Keys recording of Baggage Claim with the URL reveal right in the song. This was friggin brilliant!!
You can listen to the song here : Baggage Claim by 88 Keys









Lyrics to Baggage Claim:

Uh, yeah! My name is 88-Keys & that’s the name you’ll see on the manifest on Ocean Flight 815. We’ve been Lost for a few weeks now. I don’t think anybody’s coming for us. Man… I remember this like it was yesterday; When I lost my bag on day one.

1st Verse:

I woke up from a concussion
With sand on my feet
No futher discussion
I’m a son of a beach

Where’s my briefcase?
It was in reach
I gotta drill these people
Just like a prez before he gets impeached

Let me go straight to the liar & pack rat
Scratch that
Take it to the man
With the desire for that hatch

Locke – Don’t give me that
Philosophical crap
I know is gonna spew
From you esophagus track

Just tell me where my box is
Before I let everybody know
You couldn’t use your limbs
Where your sock is

Save it!
I’ll just ask Sawyer
Now let’s face it
He’ll say he didn’t take it

So now I gotta go to Kate
To sweet talk Sawyer
Just to get my briefcase
For a kiss like cheap dates

Sawyer doesn’t have it
Nobody said they grabbed it
Now they’re all acting like
I’m chasing down a white rabbit like Jack did

Chorus:

My bag got lost
So now I’m looking for it
My bag wasn’t found
I got tooken for it – Lost
Have you see it
Anywhere around here? – Lost
Tell me if you see it
When the ground clears

I’m not taking orders from Jack
Like I’m his soldier
I don’t trust Katie
As far as my arms could throw her
Expect the unexpected
When they do drop bombs so
YouMightWantToConsiderHikingBoots.com

2nd Verse:

Gotta investigate this matter further
This madam that I never heard of
Using words
So absurd to

Me & everybody else
Except for Shannon
Distress calls
Who got balls like cannon?

To tell me where my briefcase is
How ’bout you Michael?
You know us brothers gotta
Stick together

I tried to play the race card
But my plan faultered
The only one he’s cares about
His lil’ man Walter

That’s the kid
Who could
Make reality
Alter

I ain’t messing with him
So I slid
Back to Shannon
Just to see if I could find Sayid

And he’s over there
Talking to Boone
Let me see if I could get closer
And get the scoop like a spoon

I heard him say,
“Stay the Hell away from my sister!”
Mr. Overprotective brother
Not only does he lover her but he used to kiss her… Under the covers

Chorus:

My bag got lost
So now I’m looking for it
My bag wasn’t found
I got tooken for it – Lost
Have you see it
Anywhere around here? – Lost
Tell me if you see it
When the ground clears

I’m not taking orders from Jack
Like I’m his soldier
I don’t trust Katie
As far as my arms could throw her
Expect the unexpected
When they do drop bombs so
YouMightWantToConsiderHikingBoots.com

3rd Verse:

Now I searched all over the island
For my stuff
Man it’s rough
When these dead bodies are piled in

There’s only so much
That Jack can do
With polar bears running through the forrest
Attacking you

Now let’s not forget Claire
She needs the prenatal
Care – Make the wrong move
And Charlie makes it fatal?

I’m not really here for friends
Just my bag
I don’t care about you, your drugs
Or Drive Shaft

Now why did Sun laugh
If she only speaks Korean?
There’s something she ain’t telling
There’s something Jin ain’t seeing

She making ginseng
Just to poison human beings
And everybody on the cave & beach
Disagreeing

I should’ve asked Hurley
Early
‘Cause he took a head count
He knows everybody on the island

I described my baggage
He said he knows who had it
Now we gotta figure out
Why Ethan’s name wasn’t added to the manifest

Chorus:

My bag got lost
So now I’m looking for it
My bag wasn’t found
I got tooken for it – Lost
Have you see it
Anywhere around here? – Lost
Tell me if you see it
When the ground clears

I’m not taking orders from Jack
Like I’m his soldier
I don’t trust Katie
As far as my arms could throw her
Expect the unexpected
When they do drop bombs so

Shouts:

· Needlz – for producing this crazy beat. The beats he gave to me to get this song done are C-R-A-Z-Y!!! If I was a grimy dude, I’d probably put out another 88-Keys album… Entirely produced by Needlz (whether he’d like it or not). (Don’t laugh! You’d be surprised how often that happens with songs). *smh*

· Irko (The Audio Nutrionist) – for blessing me, once again, with an awesome mix. He knocked this out in the matter of minutes practically. Needlz’ tracks are heavily layered so you could just imagine what Irko had to go thru to get this sounding proper. (”What’cha say Hammer? Proper!” – Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest -)

Rousseau's Transmission by Dan McCarthy

Dan McCarthy's website is danmccarthy.org/






















You have to click on the poster to zoom into the bubble dialog...
"Je suis seul sur cette ile ..ils sont tous morts"
Which translates to- "I am alone on this island ...they are all dead"

* In the episode 316 Kate tells Jack, as she refers to Christian's shoes, “Those don’t much sense for the island. You might want to consider hiking boots”.

* The modern piano has 36 black keys and 52 white keys for a total of 88 keys (seven octaves plus a minor third, from A0 to C8). Older pianos only have 85 keys (seven octaves from A0 to A70).

Rousseau's Transmission is the poster that spoke to me. Due to the lovely economy and my lack of cash, I had been holding out for the poster I could relate to. After the link was up only a couple of short moments I excitedly went to click to Buy Now and learned it had just SOLD OUT.

The poster craze has hit the LOST community BIG TIME. This is all very exciting and has understandably led to some great team work between fans to ensure their single purchases or to complete their collections.

The thing that makes me a bit sad is that the posters have shown up on eBay and other sites for sale. I personally don't want to purchase a poster this way because I feel the fun and goal of this hunt is to "stake your claim" {purchase your poster} at the checkout link. Of course I completely understand it's the "fastest finger" that has their purchase go through.

Since discovering that bit of information about the posters on eBay and such, I feel the odds are against me in purchasing one of the posters. I have officially given up my quest to acquire these LOSTASTIC posters. But that hasn't stopped me from actively participating in the scavenger hunt. After all you know how much I love hunting for clues!!

I realize I am a little behind in posting my notes but I am current on my participation in the hunt. I find Frame 10 and Frame 11 to be very, very curious.

Until the next one...

Learn the art of puppetry with The Dharma Initiative.

Ahhh, more Mysteries of the Universe: The Dharma Initiative.

This little segment starts off with a "new series" ad for the detective show Matt Houston.
This show ran from Sept 26,1982-July 19, 1985. It's about Matlock "Matt" Houston, a wealthy Texas oilman who played private investigator in his spare time.

This Mysteries clip reinforced that there are people of great wealth who are secretly spearheading something big. Again these people can funnel resources to anyone anywhere at any time and are master manipulators who seem to be pulling off one hell of a long con...thus far.

We get a little bit about the Great Dane Alvar Hanso, who became a bigwig with new technology and extreme wealth. He has a degree in chemistry and a master degree in engineering. Of course we can't ignore his involvement with the military.

Apparently he attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor for a year as a foreign exchange student. His host family was none other than the DeGroots. Alvar found eight year old Gerald DeGroot to be charming. Isn't that sweet?

When Gerald needed financial backing for his project, he contacted family friend Alvar Hanso for funding.
Through the investigative reporting of Mysteries of the Universe, they discovered Gerald’s college records had been “erased” from existence. How about that? Barred from the truth! That’s disgusting!

Stories layered in anecdotal evidence and legend sounds exactly like the information distributed by the "Island" itself to us.

Moral of this segment...Don't get stymied! Go out and find the truth because it can't stay hidden forever.

By the way, that was the ugliest puppet on a string I ever saw!

Until the next segment...
