I'm not sure someone posted this, but accidentally I found this site and I watched interviews with FPW. Very interesting.

Who's that interviewer? She's fascinating. milewinkgrin:

Was this brought up already in Conspiracies, or is this a possible way that Tesla may have more involvment with the Otherness?

"The Philadelphia Experiment was an alleged naval military experiment at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, sometime around October 28, 1943, in which the U.S. destroyer escort USS Eldridge was to be rendered invisible (i.e. a cloaking device) to human observers for a brief period.

According to the theory proponents, a destroyer escort, the USS Eldridge, was fitted with the required equipment at the naval yards in Philadelphia. Testing began in summer 1943, and was successful to a limited degree. One test, on July 22, resulted in the Eldridge being rendered almost completely invisible, with some witnesses reporting a “greenish fog” in its place. However, crew members complained of severe nausea afterwards. At that point, the experiment was altered at the request of the Navy, with the new objective being invisibility solely to radar. None of this has been substantiated.

The theory continues that the equipment was not properly re-calibrated, but in spite of this the experiment was performed again on October 28. This time, Eldridge not only became entirely invisible, but actually vanished from the area in a flash of blue light. According to some accounts, the U.S. naval base at Norfolk, Virginia, just over 215 miles (346 km) away, reported sighting the Eldridge offshore, whereupon the Eldridge vanished from their sight and reappeared in Philadelphia at the site it had originally occupied, in an apparent case of accidental teleportation.

Also, shortly before his death in 1943, Nikola Tesla claimed to have completed a Unified Field Theory; however, it was never published. Relatives of Nikola Tesla propose that much of Tesla's research papers were seized by the FBI promptly following his death, and highlight the apparent coincidence between the year of his death and the supposed date of the Philadelphia Experiment."

[SIZE="3"]Here's the cover for the new trade paperback edition of The Touch. Obviously they're tying the Adversary series (and rightly so) to the RJ series.[/SIZE]

[SIZE="3"]Today I dipped my big toe into the realm of self-publishing: I took the first steps toward creating a POD trade paperback edition of “The Peabody-Ozymandias Traveling Circus & Oddity Emporium.” It's something I've wanted to try - just once in my life - and this seems like a no-risk project. It will be a no-frills edition with simple cover art and no interior illos. Readers have been petitioning for an affordable edition, so that's what I'll be serving up. It should be available early next year.[/SIZE]

Blackwind was by far the finest book that FPW has written. All the charactors were well rounded and believable. During the book you had a love hate relationship with each of them. This book made you think real hard. It made you see things from both sides of the war. Being American it was easy to see the US side of things. The book also invited you to see things from the eyes of the opponent as well. Well written Sir.......from a fan of the time period and reader of much of the genre both fiction and non-fiction. Mark

Couldnt find a thread for this film, which came as quite a surprise considering how good it is!

Excellent story, excellent performances (Casey Affleck not only managed to avoid getting on my nerves, he was rather compelling) and a Private Detective lead character who shares certain surface characteristics with RJ.

I would recommend it to you all.

By popular demand, we will be opening an online store for the crypto Kickers and members of the AFSO (Ancient Fraternal Septimus Order) on the board.

For the Order, the sigil will be the logo. And of course the Kicker Man for the Kickers.

Now...we need tag lines. Someone suggested "I'd Rather Be Dissimilating" a while back. That's good. Can we do better? If your tagline is chosen, you get a free shirt or mug or whatever.

Jack's scars on his chest? The ones that would burn near something from the "otherness" just wondering I read the last 3 books and just remembered they didn't mention them, just a thought?

I don't know his exact birthday but he was conceived Feb 11, 1968. Add 9 months and then 40 years and that's today. Just thought I'd cover my ass with a happy birthday wish. Probably won't do any good, I'm expecting a mid life crisis brewing inside him.

Spoiler, remember.






































So Johan Stevens picked Jim for his hairy palms and other traits, plus Jim liked the violence in football. Q'qrs are hairy, are they not? Does this means that Jim had SO MUCH oDNA that his appearance changed? Does it also mean that is part of why the Otherness chose that particular guy (the father of Jim) to influence in the discovery of cloning? Sorry if this is a repeat.
