Haha I like Will/Sean, he likes to take his time with things.

Not like this star.shinegirl, all "hurry, hurry! you have 24 hours, starting now!"

Or the neurotic IrisNetwork.

new video = vertumnalia

"Vertumnus' cult arrived in Rome around 300 BC, and a temple to him was constructed on the Aventine Hill in 264 BC. Sextus Propertius' elegy instancing Vertumnus (Elegy 4.2.41-46) refers to a statue of him that was placed at the Vicus Tuscus and decorated according to the changing seasons. His festival was the Vertumnalia on August 13."

found here :http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Vertumnus

so we have a date .
( other sources are reporting that vertumnalia is 8/23, so we have two possible dates)

and "I am Rocinante, bolting free, wildly"
the horse who was no longer a nag

Good job sparky. I just have to say this is not baconian at all, as he used the literal AB code right there in the open, while Bacon devised it as a steganographic technique.

And I still don't quite get what's the story with Abel. Do you have any theories?

Watching the video on a surface level, a few things stand out.
Absinthe being the focus, of course, but I don't know much about it.
There were mentions of Rocinante, which was also mentioned here as an anagram for container, along with a quote from Don Quixote on his myspace.
There's an Oscar Wilde quote. There's the line, Barking Astral Beast of August, which sounds like the star sirius.
Then there is the riddle itself, answer being: vertumnalia.

I dunno. It just seems like there may be more clues here than the obvious.

new post from sean:
Canicula
Cum vero in vastos surget Nemeaeus hiatus,
exoritur candens latratque Canicula flammas
et ra-it igne suo gemin-tque incendi- solis.
qua su-dente f-cem terris radiosque vomente
divinat cineres or-es f-tumque supremum
sortitur, l-nguetque suis Neptunus in undis,
et viridis nemori sanguis decedit et her-is.
cuncta peregrinos or-es animalia quaerunt
atque eget alterius mundus; natura suismet
aegrotat mor-is nimios obsess- per -estus
inque rogo vivit: t-ntus per sider- fervor
funditur atque uno cessant in lumine cuncta.
haec u-i se ponto per prim-s extulit or-s,
nascentem quam nec pelagi restinxerit unda,
effrenos animos violentaque pectora finget
irarumque da-it fluctus odiumque metumque
totius vulgi. pr-ecurrunt verb- loquentis,
ante os est animus nec magnis concita causis
corda micant et lingua ra-it l-tratque loquendo,
morsi-us et crebris dentes in voce relinquit.
-rdescit vino vitium, viresque ministrat
B-cchus et in fl-mmam saevas exsuscitat iras.
nec silvas rupesque timent vastosque leones
aut spumantis apri dentes atque arma ferarum,
effunduntque suas concesso in corpore flammas.
ne talis mirere artes su- sidere t-li,
cernis ut ipsum eti-m sidus venetur in astris;
praegressum quaerit Leporem comprendere cursu

Look around a third of the page down, or search for "Cum vero in vastos"

The dashes in Sean's post are in place of missing letters (abba code ).

title of the video: The Green Goddess


PLOT:A small plane carrying three British citizens is forced down somewhere near the Himalayas. The plane lands in the tiny Princedom of Rukh ruled by a curiously deranged old Raja. The three visitors find themselves at the mercy of the Raja and are caught up in his lustful plots & plans.
The Rajah holds them prisoner because the British are about to execute his three half-brothers in neighboring India. His subjects believe that their Green Goddess has given them the lives of the three Brits as payment for the lives of the Rajah's brothers. They will execute them when the brothers are executed.
