Overview - Rule of Law

What is the Rule of Law?

The Much Discussed Couplet

“No book had ever really hinted of it, though the deathless Chinamen said that there were double meanings in the Necronomicon of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred which the initiated might read as they chose, especially the much discussed couplet:

‘That is not dead which can eternal lie,
and with strange eons even death may die.’

Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, Volume 1, The Call of Cthulhu, H.P. Lovecraft

The Unexplainable Couplet

“In a point of time, the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred, was the first character of the Cthulhu Mythos to the make his appearance; this was in strongly Dunsanian tale, The Nameless City (1921), fashioned about the unexplainable couplet.”

‘That is not dead which can eternal lie,
and with strange eons even death may die.’

Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, Volume 1, The Call of Cthulhu, H.P. Lovecraft

The Masks of Cthulhu & the Cthulhu Mythos

"The vast, terrible enity from beyound time and sapce who waits brooding in his cyclopean home in sunken R'lyeh symbol and actuality of inimaginable nightmare - the greatest creation of H.P. Lovecraft.

The Cthulhu Mythos inspired many authors to write storoes using it as a theme - and thie anthology contains the best of these, together with key Cthulhu stories by Lovecraft. Some of these authors are: August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, Robert Howard, Frank Belknap Long , J. Vernon Shea".

The Masks of Lovecraft – The Al Azif Texts

“In brief, the book, originally entitled Al Azif, was written circa AD. 730 at Damascus by Abdul Alhazred, “a mad poet of Sana, in Yemen, who is said to have flourished during the period of the Ommiade Caliphs.”

Thereafter, its history unfolds as follows:

“Translated into Greek as the Necronomican, AD. 950 by Theodouis Philetas”
“Burnt by Patriarch Michael, AD. 1050(IE Greek text...Arabic text now lost)
“Olaus Wormius translates the Greek into Latin, AD. 1228”
“Latin and Greek editions suppressed by Pope Gregory IX, AD. 1232”
“Black letter edition- Germany – 1440?”
“Greek text printed in Italy – 1500 – 1550”
Spanish translation of Latin text – 1600?”

It is ashame that I never got around to purchasing other mini-scenes from Sierra West. These kits are simple to build and will great once you have added paint and a weathering treatment. These mini scenes are components from their craftmen kits. The package includes wood strips for the tank stand and several resin detail pieces, all finely detailed.

More Creepy Hero Greeble

I some how lost track of this photo. This set includes six 3D printed objects from Creepyhero Studios. I won't attempt to indentify any of these exhibits with any accuracy. However whatever its attended use I can repurpose it, I can make something new out of it, or I can break it up into smaller objects and add these parts on to larger componets.

1/87 Scale Horse and Plow and Plowmen

Like most of my collections I have had this mini-scene for sometime. I had placed this kit into a small box on a shelf next to my workbench to wait my attention.

I usually use super-glue for the kit parts. The metal parts required very little clean-up.

Why Every Workshop needs Foamcore

Adam Savage shares some of his philosophy for building in foamcore. Adam builds a box to hold and organize his medical tool collection. Interesting set of tools.

The Cyclops Sect

In The City of Lost Children (1995). "The Cyclops Sect ¹ is a cult of blind cyborgs. They aduct small children for the mad scientist Krank using mechanical "Third Eyes" to see and hear."

¹ "The Mechanical Eye: Cult members ritualistically sacrifice or shun their natural organic sight. They replace it with a single, bulky electronic video-camera lens worn over one eye (providing them with a distinct green-tinted point of view)."

Consciousness

"Consciousness can project illusians in a substantial stimulus and deliver objects onto the screen of your awareness"

Random Cellphone Screenshots

I believe I have a few more of these waiting to be posted. They are screenshots from my Motorola cell phone.

I am familar with Space 1889 and I own a few of these miniatures and have a couple of the game-rules pamphlets on my shelf. This really a great game concept. It is like a steampunk universe where somehow nations made the trip to space in hte 1880's.

A blind fat cat. The fat cats are all blind to our needs, except, except they are offering a great deal here?

It is ashame that the word could not have of gotten out eairler. Alas, these deals are set to disapear toward the end of this year.

This is an image that I ran through an AI to enhance the appearance. I am ready to take a bite into this.

What I am listening to at this moment:

Beautiful! Tonada De Luna, Alice Zawadski.

Spanish Lyrics

"Yo vide una garza moraDándole combate a un ríoAsí es como se enamoraTu corazón con el míoLuna, luna, luna, luna llenaAnda muchacho a la casaY me traes la carabina, jioPa’ matar este gavilánQue no me deja gallinaLuna, luna, luna, luna llenaLa luna me está mirandoYo no sé lo que me veYo tengo la ropa limpiaAyer tarde la lavéLuna, luna, luna, luna llena"

English Translation

"I saw a black heronBattling it out with a riverThat is how your heartFalls in love with mineMoon, moon, moon, full moonGo, boy, to the houseAnd bring me the rifleTo kill this hawkThat won't spare a single one of my chickensMoon, moon, moon, full moonThe moon is looking at meI don’t know what it sees in meI have clean clothesI washed them late yesterday afternoonMoon, moon, moon, full moon."

Another Door and Window Section is Nearing Completion

I do realize that this project is taking me an exceptionally long time to complete. This door needs a speck of paint on the door knob.
