“Phew! Thank goodness I caught up with you; I thought I’d missed the mail run.” / Akkermesh grinned with relief, as he skilfully flipped his letters into the snail box. Another gentrime, would have been too long to wait for the return trip. “You are lucky slurped the snail, another three pecsureps and I would have been through the gap. Many Red orbits to wait for my return, had you not caught me in time.” In ages past, on their once unpolluted crystal planet, Kryx, communications had advanced from wires to wireless over a few short gentrimes. Scientific advances soon allowed sub-atomic particle encoding quark transfer possible. Nothing faster, or more reliable than transfer at thought speed, they had surmised. It even made light, pedestrian by comparison. They were correct regarding the speed, but quite wrong re the reliability. The Kryxian miners had reached thought speed, with information transfer, which it turned out, surpassed even that of light. Thought transfer had one major flaw though, it could be intercepted by highly trained individuals using intuitive telepathic look and lock techniques. The invisible “ether” of space, the so called empty or dark zones between solid objects was not, it turned out, empty at all. It was, the scientists had discovered, like an invisible elastic blanket, to which all things were connected and from which all things had sprung. This meant that highly trained individuals could, “surf the blanket” with the right clues and be led, also at thought speed, to the information they sought. The focus of energy required to concentrate and transmit the packets of data, created a “heat” signature in the mental ethers which gave them away and allowed interception and decoding. After a few major breaches of their defences and the lucky discovery of an enemy agent at work, the Kryxians searched for a more reliable method of information transfer. Then, quite by accident, they stumbled upon snail mail. Evolving naturally in the dank, dark, slimy caverns beneath Kryx, the snails had developed an ability to communicate between themselves, using biological wave sensors on their “feet”. Over time they had roamed towards the surface in search of food, and that’s where they found the miners. As a young free thinking miner hybrid, Akkermesh was first to recognise the special transport abilities of the amazing snails. In collaboration with the gastropods and the top scientific minds on Kryx, they had formulated a process using holographic multiplication, to create gigantic thought bubble transfer domes, which could double as protective bubble shields around their cities. The Kryxians used a recently developed write and memory wipe technique so that traces would not appear in the ethers. Once sealed, the writing was chemically encoded with the paper and vibrationally tuned to the recipient. Should anyone other than the intended receiver, open the letter, the paper would instantly dissolve. Thus the era of “Snailmail” was born on Kryx.

“Faster Mnlik, they are gaining on us!” “Keep your party hat on dear, they have forgotten to raise the landing gear on their “Beatle”.” Mnlik allowed himself a self-satisfied smile, while closing the right wing pod slightly to deflect them away from the cliffs. The Hihangers would not be happy if their city rest time was disturbed in any way. He need to maximise the downdraft and use the sweeping air currents through the gorge, to increase his advantage before Bloddk, realised his mistake and raised the legs. Bloddk would not win this year, Mnlik decided, his jovial headgear from the festivities belying his determination. Ever since the early transmissions from Earth all those millennia ago and the “Fab Four” had been popularised into local culture, the planet had changed. A change for the better he thought. In the old days, it was all work and no play. Public and even private displays of emotion were frowned upon. Not anymore, he grinned. The images, filtered through the space-time warp, were grainy, but enough data had arrived to let them know that they were not alone. The priests were wrong, there was life elsewhere after all. From what they could gather, they were humanoid like themselves and maybe “The one who had arrived” to tell them about immortality was also wrong… laughing and finding things funny was probably ok, and just maybe, winning a Beatle race would not consign your soul to hlekka for eternity. Their minds were opening, it felt good. “What are you smiling at, Mnlik?” questioned Frontalia, twisting her head to keep their pursuers in sight. “You know if you lose concentration in this gorge, we won’t make it ahead of them and there are rumours that the river snappers are back to their old tricks, so don’t get too close to the acid. “Relax darling, I was just thinking about how we carved their faces over the vector shields on our craft. They honour life forms, light years away, whom we will never meet. What matters though, is that the carvings remind us not to go back to the old ways.” They flew on in silence, both deep in thought, the race almost forgotten. In the background a song from Earth soothed their minds- ”...on and on, across the universe…”

With the global economy caught in the gravity of the financial crisis, it’s sad that programs like the Constellation Project will have a long wait before anything truly gets off the ground. / / NASA’s Constellation Project is set up to finish the International Space Station, retire the Shuttle Fleet and build a whole new fleet of space vehicles which will take us back to the Moon, then Mars and then the places beyond. / / But with Congressional limitations and funding cutbacks due to the financial crisis, as well as being stuck with a complicated and restrictive “go as you pay” finance structure it’s unlikely we’ll be seeing any groundbreaking manned space flights in the naughties. / / This image represents a fleeting memory of a childhood dream to see man explore our planets and then the stars beyond and it’s one of the few things as a child I looked up to America for. / / The universe is a big place and we’re yet to make it out of our solar system but without programs like the Constellation Project, man may never ever get to make another giant leap. / / DETAIL / / / /

“The sky and the earth are charged with our power as we pay homage to the Ram, who brings us the passing of winter and the emergence of spring. Flowers grow, and new beginnings are here.

As the first sign in the zodiac, and corresponding with the first day of spring, the Aries individual is a mover and shaker, fearlessly forging ahead or “springing forth” into new territory. The Aries personality is always a force to be reckoned with. These are curious and energetic individuals, always delving into new areas, but often quickly becoming bored and moving on, leaving unfinished projects in their wake. Arians are forthcoming and direct. They don’t generally have hidden agendas or ulterior motives. If they find an area in which they are interested for a long period, they can become accomplished, well-known, and wealthy. / From Mysticalblaze / MCN/C4YKS_KEQGL_N7R4L This is the seventh im my Zodiac Series.

Scorpio – one of the most powerful creatures in the world of the zodiac, symbolic of life,death and regeneration. Here, Scorpio is celebrating her power and freedom,after having killed her lover with her deadly sting. She looks to the owl, not for affirmation, but for new companionship. She is oblivious to her deed. Leo, with his family, look on. BEST VIEWED LARGER This was created totally in Photoshop CS4. I started with the beautiful background of trees, and overlaid this with several layers of textures and colour. The individual characters were added and each individual layer overlaid in different blending modes to blend in with the background. / Full stock credits can be found below. / MCN:C3GMM-Y1VKP-RKH72 / ....................................................................... / The music portrays both the passion and the pathos of Scorpio. It speaks of love and loss. / It is Beethoven’s violin romance played by Anna Fontanella, – it is wonderfully moving. / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- / Scorpio being the eighth of the Sun Signs, is considered to be the sexiest soul of the Zodiac, Scorpio attracts others without even trying. Discovering others and the world’s secrets, under various circumstances is, by and large, a life mission for this highly energetic, powerful and passionate Sun Sign. Scorpio has a way of seeming dangerous, even when they he is minding his own business. A typical Scorpio could be walking a puppy, but still have an air of danger, with a subtle attitude of, “Don’t pry into my world unless I give you full permission to look.” Scorpio rarely gives anyone permission to get close, and very few people are allowed to see the Scorpio’s true inner self. This is because scorpions have instinctively learned that the world is not a kind place and they come prepared for it at all times. As a child, this sign is often very trusting – perhaps too trusting, and he allows his generous emotional nature to flourish. That is, until reality sets in and the world shows its true colours. Scorpio then establishes an elaborate defense system, vowing never again to fall victim to unkind individuals. Keep your eyes open when approaching the Scorpio, because you are being watched from the very second you step into their domain. Scorpio is, by nature, a sensitive sign and they are totally peace-loving, until someone gives them a reason to strike. The Scorpio will strike with a famed scorpion stinger if you cross territory lines, or if you’re careless with your words. One must remember that this is a sensitive water sign, so it’s important to tread lightly. They are known to seek revenge when hurt, others should expect it – in fact, it should be marked on a calendar! The intended target is wise to apologize, rather than being subjected to repeated stings from the scorpion. The Scorpio can find a person’s weak spots within seconds, and if for some reason it’s not found immediately, then the outsider is studied until a weak point is discovered. Once found, it’s filed away, and if necessary, that weakness will be used against the target in the future. Why? It all stems back to childhood, when the Scorpio lost faith in human kindness. Thereafter, the Scorpio developed a defense system to protect those passionate, yet vulnerable emotions. The Scorpio’s stinger will usually keep most enemies at bay. Choosing to nearly perish rather than appearing weak, makes this person formidable opponent. Extremes are common place for this sign and they can come in the form of great strength, or great weaknesses. Most commonly it’s great strength, unless abuse was present when they were youngsters. Even so some still manage to rise up from those ashes. / Usually, there is a distinct preference for the darker areas of life, intrigue or anything mysterious. Scorpio minds are known for penetrating beneath the surface of any situation or topic. With all of this darkness, Scorpios are still passionate and loving to the core with those that they care about. Men and women both gravitate to people born under this astrological sign, yet they do not know why. There is a hypnotic trance – something in the air when a Scorpion arrives on the scene. Scorpios are naturally gifted with great magnetism, despite the fact that most Scorpions aren’t aware of this trait. A powerful persona mixed with a confident nature is how a Scorpio is perceived by others.
