    Hmm your reply makes me think I'm anywhere but close. The person I'm thinking of didn't seem to have any flops...

    Answer: 诺查丹玛斯 use this (chinese to english)

    *just being silly, please high light the below text, *Aria :)**

    People intercept puzzles in their own way. He gave us puzzles and we keep intercepting them and we do it until it fits.

    Nostradamus was initially a medical student with interest in chemicals. He wrote a cook book where he made a 'Love Jam'..well, people say it tasted OK and didnt work.

    Weird recipes like: "Take the blood of seven male sparrows, bled via the left wing; of ambergris the weight of 57 barley seeds; seven grains of musk; of the core of the best cinnamon that can be found the weight of 377 barley seeds; of cloves and fine lignum aloes the weight of three deniers ['pence']; of the arms of an octopus one eyelet from each, preserved and prepared in honey; of mace the weight of 21 grains; of sweet flag the weight of 500 grains; of the root of Lyris Illyrica or Sclavonia ['Illyrian or Slavonian Lyre'] the weight of 700 grains; of the root of Apii Risus ['Bee's Laughter'] 31 grains; of Cretan wine double the weight of the whole; of the finest sugar the weight of 700 grains, which is just a little more than an ounce."Mix all this together and pulverise it thoroughly in a marble mortar with a wooden pestle. Then boil it on a fire till it becomes like syrup ("take care above all that it is not a willow fire"). Then strain. Store in a gold or silver vessel.

    Then it was a book of cosmetics: How to turn your hair Blonde.

    Then at last were the PROPHECIES.. oooh boy I am glad people coded the wrong date out of his prophecy....all of us lining after 2012!


    Keep playing dearies.... I love it! and I am becoming clever here [​IMG]

    The only things that ran in my mind were


    1. Yesterday = 6633, I love JAM + HER = jammer. What is the significance of patent 6633 radio Jammer ?
    2. Hmm, "Yesterday", "I love her" , Beetles?

    Off-course from what you had in mind :)

    Okay, I totally bombed on this one. But let me present an Aria-esque defense of my thought process. The answer I arrived at was Aristotle. How, you say? Thusly,

    I heart JAM: After sifting through every jam and jelly recipe on the Internet, I couldn't find anything relevant so I homed in on the 'Heart'.
    Blonde beauty: None of Claudia Schiffer and Kate Moss's besties fit the bill, hence I deemed the person irrelevant and decided it had something to with the 'golden locks'.
    Weather forecast: I took this one quite literally.

    So what do Heart, Gold, and Weather forecasting have in common? Why, Aristotle! He was the first to describe the structure of the human heart. His 'golden mean' is a well known philosophical doctrine, that advocates the middle between two extremes. And of course, he wrote one of the earliest treatise on what else? Weather forecasting!

    The quote by Master Oogway seemed relevant, because just as the Samurai master coached Kung Fu Panda, Aristotle tutored Alexander. The past, present and future fit into the Aristotelian definition of time, of the before and after.

    Well, I seem to have overthought this one. It might be a stretch, but it isn't entirely implausible, is it? :thumbsup

    Roar....I thought maybe Michael Jackson laugh1smiley because of his 'Jam' single and 'HIStory: Past, Present and Future album'.. but the blonde did not fit.. I thought for a second that it was a reference to Lisa Marie Presley but then she was a blonde very briefly shakehead

    hah. I washed out totally on Roar puzzle too. I got as far as rastafarian and was considering bob marley although the mystery history bit was stumping me.

    How you ask? Thusly...I love jam stands for I love Jamaica (~ I love NY), then comes the great weather (opp of cloudy/cold) + long hair ===>ergo rastafarian.

    Gauri I got your last puzzle, although teeny quibble with one of the clues: instead of 'titular monarch, perhaps 'royal by name' wd have fit better.
