 		An interesting anagram I can see for Ace or Droll is Cellar Door; an interesting phrase, I came across it a while back in some research. It is purported to be the most phonaesthetically pleasing phrase in the English language. Heres a link to the wiki article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellar_door

Thankyou wikipedia:
Quote:
A passage from J. R. R. Tolkien's 1955 essay "English and Welsh" has been cited as the origin of the idea:[1]

"Most English-speaking people...will admit that cellar door is 'beautiful', especially if dissociated from its sense (and from its spelling). More beautiful than, say, sky, and far more beautiful than beautiful. Well then, in Welsh for me cellar doors are extraordinarily frequent, and moving to the higher dimension, the words in which there is pleasure in the contemplation of the association of form and sense are abundant"



Another one might be Lord Oracle/Oracle Lord...

 		Supah anagrams,distilled. Reckon Wallace would be interested. And this odd email came from a new address imo.

Blackbox.

And Wallace in an email wrote:
I did quick check of Pumlumon and the folklore says there is meant to be a sleeping giant underneath it. I'll get some my friends in the Welsh police force to see if Edward has been reported in the area. Anything new on passwords to Bob's files?

I've got an appointment with Esme tomorrow afternoon to tell her where Iam with finding Edward.
Not sure what I'm going to tell her especially with respect to Edward being friends Robert/Bob who receives messages from the future. I mean anyway you say it, it sounds completely nuts.

I've got admit I beginning feel a little paranoid myself these days, thiscase is so bizarre even when compared to my missing pets cases.

Louise is much better thanks.

 		2nd time we've gotten that anagram. It started out as "Lo Draclore".


Leamas Alter sounds like another anagram. "a Tesla Realm" anyone?

 		Bob's latest uplaod is HBEGEWUZKUUW.7z. Having on joy with this as a PW 'tho it deciphers as:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
BICZCLEWHEEL (likely BICYCLE WHEEL) using Edward's substitution cipher "THEQUICKBROWNFXJMPSVLAZYDG" @CipherClerk

 		Received a reply from Wallace:

Quote:
William,

I wonder if Cellar Door refers to Tartarus somehow?

I have actually heard of Cellar Door although it was through a film called
Donnie Darko, which curiously enough involves time travel.

Okay that is really weird I've just noticed that Lo-DracLore (Post-it note
from Edward's house) is also an anagram of Cellar Door. Perhaps it has
multiple meanings...who knows except Edward and Bob.

Thanks for the information.

Wallace.


Well... it does have multiple meanings, in that it has been implemented for a number of different purposes (TV companies, strange planets in books etc etc).
As far as I know, Cardiff has never suffered a "Dirty Bomb" attack. The closest they've come is the German bombings during the war...

 		Why does Style mis-spell "Corporal" as "Corporeal" in his reference to Cpl. Jack Wright?

Quote:
Corporeal may refer to:
Corporeal undead, See also: Category:Corporeal undead
Matter (corporeal, or actual, physical substance or matter)
Body, of or relating to the body
Corporeal (Altar Linen)

 		What's Going On? My Summary.
(How far off can one man be?)
I believe that in his search for alternate forms of energy, Prof. Maad discovered transmissions from the future emanating through the large stones
at Rollright ("Transcript of Orbis is: Stone circles sweet spot point amplify signal ") and possibly other places. These transmissions have been warning us of an impending apocalypse ("This is Major E Denton transmitting from Garrison Below Sector 41...you must stop it from happening again
20232023...transmitting west thru Origin channel decaying not much time now. Cardiff destroyed by dirty bomb").

Denton (correction: White) disappeared in 1929 on top of a Cambrian mountain after hammering a Bronze Anvil (3 times). Presumably this was a portal into the future, 2023 perhaps. Maad has been missing since the end of 2010, possibly looking for more messages. Or maybe he has also been to the mountain top.

It seems that we are being called upon to change the future ("cause and effect").

We should probably find the Bronze Anvil (Drake knows more than he's telling, after all "Professor Danny Drake, his specialty is Ancient Britain" he may be using the Time Portal himself).

Style and Bob may also be from the future (working together or at cross-purposes?) Style seems to have most of the resources for solving the puzzles. I wonder if Style is after Maad to thwart him? I also wonder if Bob is Maad?

Right. Onward.

 		Cellar Door?
"Cellar Door" could refer to Selerdor a city in A World Out of Time by Larry Niven. We've seen one of his books before. Could be a PW in there somewhere. Or it may just mean that we are running out of time.

Or then again ...

Selidor a remote island in Ursula Le Guin's Earthsea books.

 		Wallace has updated. Having hit repeated brick walls with "Ruigzout.7z" am walking away from it atm. The salient points are:
Wallace today in an email wrote:
Chimera sounds like your onto something there what about the 6913.doc file, what did that have in it again?

The 3 poems of 21-01-2011 describe a Chimera (snake, lion, goat).Not PW. The hidden word in 6913 is"Maitiu". Not PW and:
S Leamus wrote:
Ruigzout Unimportant (don't let Bob misdirect u with odd words). Youtube vid, 6913.doc & Jabberwocky important.

Not all the files uploaded readily. Blackbox decodes Jabberwocky:"A mythical creature surely. Unfortunately it is just made up"
Wallace mentions "his original Blackbox" as a aid to Bob's 24-01-2011 upload. JumboTron posted a full list on page 5 here.

 		Picture
This is definitely a picture of the Llyn Llygad Rheidol reservoir set between Pumlumon Fawr (the tallest) and Pumlumon Fach.

It is also called: Pen Pumlumon Fawr.

Thinking back to "pen" and "hertz".

Amandel,

Bit of a bad hair day Chimera was. You were at the end and you stopped why?

So close.You decoded the last bit before you got to Chimera.

Bob will give you what Wallace needs to complete his challenge, help him, for all our sakes.

Chimera still won't open "Ruigzout.7z" on my computer nor will it open Bob's latest "77342829-348_Past_Tents.7z"
Chimera, as mentioned in my above post, was so logical I tried it many times/ways. Maybe a phone pad cipher for this latest?

ETA: New from the Blackbox: Cardiff=Stop the end. Added to the list on page 14 here of stuff found there by me and Louise.

 		"7734 2829 348" reverse it and you get "the watchers" in phone-code.

(Also "7734" in calculator code is "hell" but I get nothing for the rest)

Found this on a previous email you sent me:

"'tho the 6913 doc leads to the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13) so that can't be ignored."
It starts "Our Father..." doesn't it, wouldn't have something to do with the Chimera clue, the last part maybe?

I can't look at it myself because I'm off out to play poker at the loca lpub and Louise is out too.
Bob's likes poker too, odd how it has gained in popularity over the last few years.

"Poker and bicycle wheel" Googles to a common-usage Poker Term. So far no joy with what I've whacked in for the PW 'tho.

 		With a little help from my friends ....
PW to 77342829-348_Past_Tents.7z is indeed "The Watchers".

We now have 2 more audio files
14 says "tsunami wipes out eastern seaboard of the U.S."
15 says "attention, transmitting, dead (?), here (?) we, are"

and these from the "artgur" file (could be "Rugrat"?):
http://www.google.co.uk/#sclient=psy&hl=en&q=arthur%20badon%20hill&aq=&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&pbx=1&fp=e1873af33f33b12&pf=p&pdl=1000

The Battle of Badon Hill was King Arthur's greatest triumph over the Saxons.

A French "Tomb Raider" maybe the company name being an anagram of "Atlantis" is important?
