Chris Kelly RIIP and Ivan Turina RIIP

Chris Kelly from the rapp duo, Kriss Kross,  passed away on May 1st.  Note this excerpt from the Kriss Kross wiki page:

Atlanta natives Kelly (August 11, 1978–May 1, 2013) and Smith (born January 10, 1979) were discovered in 1990 by 18-year-old Jermaine Dupri at an Atlanta shopping mall

Note his birth day August 11th, is the 223rd day of the year... which means it falls into the "Off By One" pattern-cluster category-- being one off from 222.  It interesting to note the layers in the name Kriss Kross-- both named "Chris" (a derivative of Christ), who was crucified on a kross... AND, two "K's" attached back to back make a criss-cross asterisk... and then there's the alliteration.

Their most popular song is "Jump"... a step up from kneeling I guess, butt then again it can convey the same thing-- kneel when I say kneel and jump when I say jump.

Then also listed on the Deaths in 2013 site is there's Ivan Turina:

Ivan Turina (pronounced [iːʋan turina]; 3 October 1980 – 2 May 2013) was a Croatian football goalkeeper. He played his final years for AIK of the Swedish Allsvenskan before his death in May 2013.

What stood out was the reference to "AIK", which makes me think of "ache"... well, there has been a "pain" theme.

ache (v.) Old English acan "to ache, suffer pain," from Proto-Germanic *akanan, perhaps from a PIE root *ag-es- "fault, guilt,"

Note the etymology of the name Ivan: Newer form of the old Slavic name Іѡаннъ (Ioannu), which was derived from Greek Ioannes (see JOHN).

So hmmm, Jumping Jack... also known as the "star jump".  I decided to Key in "Jumping Jack" to the search box of my toumai blog which brought up the following posts:
