Ever wonder what makes Canada so special?
"The Athabasca Oil Sands (also known colloquially as the Athabasca Tar Sands, although there is no actual tar) are large deposits of bitumen, or extremely heavy crude oil, located in northeastern Alberta, Canada - roughly centered around the boomtown of Fort McMurray. These oil sands, hosted in the McMurray Formation, consist of a mixture of crude bitumen (a semi-solid form of crude oil), silica sand, clay minerals, and water. The Athabasca deposit is the largest reservoir of crude bitumen in the world and the largest of three major oil sands deposits in Alberta, along with the nearby Peace River and Cold Lake deposits. Together, these oil sand deposits lie under 141,000 square kilometres (54,000 sq mi) of sparsely populated boreal forest and muskeg (peat bogs) and contain about 1.7 trillion barrels (270×10^9 m3) of bitumen in-place, comparable in magnitude to the world's total proven reserves of conventional petroleum."
Athabasca rhymes with Ayahuasca
Tar Sands ... DNA Stars
Fort Formation
McMurray ... MM RR Ray
With modern unconventional oil production technology, at least 10% of these deposits, or about 170 billion barrels (27×10^9 m3) were considered to be economically recoverable at 2006 prices, making Canada's total oil reserves the second largest in the world, after Saudi Arabia's.
This would mean that Canadian oil sands production would grow from 1.2 million barrels per day (190,000 m3/d) in 2008 to 3.3 million barrels per day (520,000 m3/d) in 2020, and that total Canadian oil production would grow from 2.7 million barrels per day (430,000 m3/d) to 4.1 million barrels per day (650,000 m3/d) in 2020.
BP would modify its Toledo refinery to process 170,000 bpd (27,000 m3/d) of bitumen directly to refined products
Green Sun
Other major oil sands producers planning to increase their production include Royal Dutch Shell (to 770,000 bbl/d (122,000 m3/d);
If all these plans come to fruition, these five companies will be producing over 3.3 million bbl/d (500,000 m3/d) of oil from oil sands by 2028.

In 1778, Peter Pond, another fur trader and a founder of the rival North West Company, became the first European to see the Athabasca deposits after discovering the Methye Portage which allowed access to the rich fur resources of the Athabasca River system from the Hudson Bay watershed
1778 = 23
In 1888, Dr. Robert Bell, the director of the Geological Survey of Canada, reported to a Senate Committee that "The evidence ... points to the existence in the Athabasca and Mackenzie valleys of the most extensive petroleum field in America, if not the world."

In 1926, Dr. Karl Clark of the University of Alberta perfected a hot water separation process which became the basis of today's thermal extraction process.

The bitumen, diluted with a solvent is transferred there in a 610 millimetres (24 in) Corridor Pipeline.
At about 24 miles (39 km) from the fork (of the Athabasca and Clearwater Rivers) are some bituminous fountains
e steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) and cyclic steam stimulation (CSS)
a barrel of oil equivalent is about 6,000 cubic feet (170 m3) of gas,
Open pit mining destroys the boreal forest and muskeg.
The average annual flow just downstream of Fort McMurray is 633 cubic metres per second ith its highest daily average measuring 1,200 cubic metres per second.
Based on gas purchases, natural gas requirements are given by the Canadian Energy Resource Institute as 2.14 GJ (2.04 mcf) per barrel for cyclic steam stimulation projects, 1.08 GJ (1.03 mcf) per barrel for SAGD projects, 0.55 GJ (0.52 mcf) per barrel for bitumen extraction in mining operations not including upgrading or 1.54 GJ (1.47 mcf) per barrel for extraction and upgrading in mining operations.

n ratifying the Kyoto Protocol, Canada agreed to reduce, by 2012, its greenhouse gas emissions by 6% with respect to 1990. In 2002, Canada's total Greenhouse Gas emissions had increased by 24% since 1990.

I may as well jump in on this one...kinda my territory and all...
Yup, that's where I work...Ol' fort Mac or fort Mack or MaKK I guess. I stayed in a camp right next to the Mackay river which also happens to be my partners last name. I'm supposed to head back to that camp on January 3rd to continue work in the Albian Sands project area. Also a hot spot for Greenpeace activities. Some people refer to the area we work in as 'mother natures anus'. The land masses us humans pile up there resemble ginormous sand pyramids. They take the 'dirty' sand and separate it into many petroleum products. The byproduct is LARGE amounts of C02(33) and sand and other such things. So much oil exists there 'naturally' that when you look at the surface of any pooling water you will see the oily rainbow refraction created by petroleum molecules. Also the natives used the black substance as medicine, makeup, and many other useful things. Like the natives did with everything gaia offered them. They did not waste much.
I stayed in wing 9 room 237(2x3x7=42). The first room on the left when you enter the wing on my floor is room 217 like in the book the shining. The lodging is basically stacked trailers or brick shaped atco trailers. The shape of the stacked trailers beside my complex resembles an 11/11. I'll have to up some pictures someday. Also the biggest trucks in the world occupy my job site. Most of the equipment bares the famous occult symbol of CAT or caterpillar or as some of you may already know Cat ER Pillarmid logo.I had my first most potent synchronicity experience up there. It started my developing Robin Hood pattern that carries on today. Surprised others have written about it much. But all in due time. Here's the post if your interested in mad rambling...
November 18, 2008...
was reading old 'Arc'hives from all kinds of ME3Wonderful ME3Wizards and Skywalking Syn'kk'ers for all of today at w3rk. Could it get any better? It was snowing hexagons pretty much all day......This mixture of incoming data and environmental ambiance, sets the stage for the strangest progression of personal synchronicity I have been through to date!
I have projected a direct thought into reality with my mind!! No shit.
As any person trying to write something interesting would do...I save the best for last. For now I'll bore you with details that are very much relevant and were created on the fly. I would get you a coffee or make you something to eat but I'm not at that level. Maybe one(neo) day I'll Get with the 'Program'!!!.....
I did nothing today at work except sit in a truck, read, and bullshit with fellow slackers.
This enabled great amounts of thought. I gotta say My trade resonates my persona. Welding resonates the Great Work as it is the mastery of manipulating metals. I'm working in Fort McMurray Alberta, Canada. Away from home for 10 days at a time and then I get 4 days off. Its called a 10 and 4 shift(thanks tips!) Anyhow... I'm sure upon arrival to this town, most minds would see it resonates very much with the 'Nature of the Beast' theme. Most of you sensitive synkkers would also notice that this town is a strong, concentrated cluster of synchronicity that relate to things discussed at The Blob. This place is far from my physical home.
Home for me being, Three hills, Alberta. Which has a town logo resonating the Giza pyramids. This will have to be a post of its own....very interesting town consisting of a couple thousand......AAAAANYWAYS Alchemist get to the arrow, I mean point!!!!!
In medieval times... Knights, Wizards, and Journeymen had an apprentice. I'm an apprentice - a sluggish but ambitious one for the record. This day gave me an opportunity to discuss some very interesting 'thatness' with my Journeyman Welding Wizard, but for now....
*A QUIK HISTORY* I started working with this man a couple years ago and by a series of 'coincidences' ended up being trained by him as an apprentice welder... Funny thing...before I had even a glimpse of this syncromystic art form, I had a habit of connecting people, I know, and work with, too cartoon characters and movie stars from my nostalgic past. For example this welder resonated Robin Hood to me, because He wore a green hoodie, wore a Robin Hood resembling welding hat, and lived in..hahaha....Sherwood park, Alberta! I guess I should mention, cast ye stone, at the time I smoked weed regularly. Fast forward. Today, while writing this, I realize that I fucking resonate Little John! Ahem... excuse the profanity ... Well I've been called 'Little Jon' by a number of clever folks in the past.
But with these new, slightly open eyes, I see some fair facts to argue this point(arrow)...And for the first time I'll be looking into the repetitious nickname... I do resonate with this fractal archetype of John Little.
- My name of course being Jon F.D. Kidd- I weigh 360 pounds(163.293253 kilograms.)
- I'm 6'3" tall(For Ferris, 3 sixes...spooky)
- My friends tell me I am a big kid and a friendly giant(teddy bear).
- Being an apprentice under Robin Hood ties this all together...in my mind
Further clicking and button pressing reveal an image. An image which the net gave me quite quickly. A great series of 'coincidences' follow(Flowlo.) I must say folks this is quite A figment.
In the image below we notice that the arrow, pointing to this anthropomorphic bear little Jon, is telling me to investigate further. I google "bear constellation"..and.. climb another rung on this special proverbial latter to find Ursa Minor within my sights!
I ask the (arc)hive Wikipedia Queenbee,
"who is "Ursa Minor?"
..."Ursa Minor is a constellation in the northern sky, the name of which means Little Bear in Latin."
A further retracting of the looking glass zooms me in further to examine this dynamic web ...leaving me ...well ...quite thirsty actually. I'll take a drink from the 'little dipper' and find that this constellation contains a important star(all stars having importance eye know) This Bear cup constellation consists of se7en stars. The brightest star here is our familiar, circle cutter, Polaris! At this point I find it necessary to upload an image I have been thinking about for a couple days. So I projected it to pixels while writing this post...
Polaris connects to the goat through this little tidbit of info from wiki and a little syncromystic alchemy...
To the Bedouin people of the Negev and Sinai, Polaris is known as al-jadiyy, "the billy goat." Time to use the 'Ferrismoon' technique in which he makes 'NY' into 'OZ'. We take the yy at the end of al-jadiyy and shift it over one to make ZZ. Then we take the 'al' at the beginning of al-jadiyy and make it all meaning Pan of course. YY = ZZ = 2 x a(l) = a(ll). Stretching it a bit I know. But in alchemy you can't make something out of nothing! So I'll add a spash of color to the equation. al-JADiyy JAD = JADE = Green = OZ. To further this Goat/Pan/Oz/ZZ/ theme we close it with a circle that is created by Polaris. The precession of the equinoxes over tens of thousands of years causes the Earth's axis of rotation to become perturbed and Polaris points to other regions of the sky, tracing out a circle. We'll leave that there for now and let it distill into something more pure...
So could it be agreed I'm a Little Jon resonator? Then the Welder I work with is Robin Hood. Well lets just say for now I'm acting out this story of Robin Hood in some strange, sorry to say, bizzaro evil scenario.Evil being Live. GASSP! What ever do you mean Alchemist?! Well, I work in the oil patch, or the energy sector if you wanna be nice about it. The force that is quite literally sucking the mako energy from the planet. Up here in the NORTHERN heart of Alberta I work in the tar sands which is basically a gaping earth wound. A mix of... You guessed it ...TAR and SAND. Which connects to previous, DNA themed posts. Tarsands = STARS DNA, STARS AND, RATS DNA, etc? TARSAND is processed and turned into many hydrocarbon products. Rob the Rich planet's heart to feed the poor roops? In a way we Rob the Earth of its dead organic matter(DNA) and(heh) turn it into a copy of Arrested development season 2 or maybe that spoon your using to stir you coffee.
This 'right now' is where I stop writing for the night. Its appx 2:00am. I lay in bed going through the day I finished and the day that lay ahead. At this Point a post from the BLOB comes to mind, and I ask myself some 'quest'iozs...
"Can we take a symbol and manipulate it with our thoughts?"
I continue to ask, "Will I ever achieve such a diliberate influence?"
"I'm gonna pay attention to this Robin Hood theme tomorrow. Lets find something at work Jon. A color, a name, anything subtle. I could put it in the post and......." I drift to sleep finally.
The next day I get up for work. At 5:30 am! Amazingly I feel quite well. I get to work and for some reason feel sociable. I turn into professor beer without the aid of alcohol! I'm chatting to people. Giving advise. Telling stories. Feeling pretty fucking confident! I'm not usually like this... I feel full of Joy. Early in the morning the work crews meet in the job shack for our 'tool box' meeting. After we hear the game plan for the day someone usually sparks up a conversation piece. Usually this is done to stall the inevitable truth that awaits us out on the cold snowy job site. The topic of the day is workplace injury. At this point our crew is consisting of a few people telling their own little story of injury. At the end of this story time the welder I work with, which I listed earlier, tells his injury story. He tells us...
"This one time in high school while in gymclass. While practicing 'arc'hery..." My face flushes pale white as he looks over to me and acts out a scenario where a dude draws his bow and arrow and proceeds to release this arrow that, intern, rips right through his hand!....He goes on to say.....
"yeah this guy in our class was acting all cool like he was ROBIN HOOD and proceeded to shoot himself right in the fucking hand!" Roaring laughter follows and I sit silent as time slows down to a crawl.....
I'm looking at this Journeyman,
who I earlier connected to Robin Hood,
watching him 'Air Archer'(mime)....
and say the words ROBIN HOOD.
As my face drains of blood I feel a slight touch of vertigo move through my whole body. This fully formed Welding ROBIN HOOD notices my quickening condition and with his eyes he says, "what, did you see a ghost?" A ghOZt indeed. I'm speechless at this point. I can't even laugh at the funny violent punchline end to his story.
Not even a courtesy laugh.. nothing... Which is rare for this yappy Alchemist...Maybe I spent to much time trying to turn lead(PB) into Gold(AU).
I leave the room and head back to the truck to think about this....
"Can we manipulate the symbols around us with our minds?"
I try to remember the last time Robin Hood was even discussed by me or anyone else I know. Nothing in the past 2-3 years comes to mind. This leaves me in a bizzaro state of Déjà vu
I found many other Robin Hood syncs that relate to the post. But if you want to...go find them. Seven comes up allot. So do other stars in relation to Polaris. One more thing about "Welding Robin Hood" his trusty steed, would indeed, be a snowmobile(a constant conversation piece with this guy.) Not to many company's manufacturing snowmobiles these days. Polaris is one of the last ones .....weeeeeiiiiiirddddd.....
Robin Hood and Little John
Walkin' through the forest
Laughin' back and forth
At what the other'ne has to say
Reminiscin', This-'n'-thattin'
Havin' such a good time
Oo-de-lally, Oo-de-lally
Golly, what a day
Never ever thinkin' there was danger in the water(little dipper)
They were drinkin', they just guzzled it down
Never dreamin' that a schemin' sherrif and his posse
Was a-watchin' them an' gatherin' around
Robin Hood and Little John
Runnin' through the forest
Jumpin' fences, dodgin' trees
An' tryin' to get away
Contemplatin' nothin'
But escape an' fin'lly makin' it
Oo-de-lally, Oo-de-lally
Golly, what a day
Oo-de-lally, Oo-de-lally
Golly, what a day
