Right back where we started

Thank you for following this ...
Just wanted to send a quick note to the old, new, and constant followers of the Coal Speaker. I am humbled. And probably wouldn’t be doing this and the HorrorReport.com is no one was paying attention.
Watching a wave
A tropical wave has the ability to become a named storm and perhaps even hit the United States.. That’s according to forecasters at Accuweather who are throwing the possibility on their website today.
If the storm can escape dry air attacking it now, warm waters in the Atlantic could help strengthen it quickly..
Where it is at now: 550 miles east of the Lesser Antilles, separated from the U.S. by a week’s time..
BANK OF JUDGEMENT?
Perhaps there is a sign somewhere in here
Bank of America..
Layoffs will soon begin. 3,500 going to lose their jobs..
And how does God respond? Lightning. Indeed.
Tremendously sad story..
Pittsburgh emergency responders throw a life vest to Robert Bailey, 80, who climbed onto the roof of his car after being caught in the flash flood. (Chris Langer / AP)
We’re keeping our eyes on Pittsburgh today, wehre last night a pair of storms caused a flash flood that submerged more than a dozen vehicles, killed a woman and two children and left another person missing and presumed dead.
It's always sunny on earth
Scientists aim: Predict sunspots by monitoring sound waves…
Hope: Forecast solar storms..
Prayer: It will help..
Fear: Sunspot will develop, cause a massive solar storm and it will disrupt just about every thing on earth.
61-year-old lifeguard refuses his speedos as sues over mandate to wear them..
I don’t think many people will have a problem with that…….
Prayers for the city of Pittsburgh, PA
Update: Tragic Pittsburgh: 3 dead from flooding..
…one missing..
Rescue workers floated over the car of woman and two dead children in the city—not even knowing it was there due to high water that fell from nasty storm system..
The storms were quite severe. After rolling through Western Pennsylvania, they landed in coal country causing heavy rains and intense winds..
Storms scare me this time of year. Spring and late summer.. some of the worst weather can happen during change of seasons.
Somehow this makes perfect sense.. the irony..
Bank of America tower in New York City struck by lightningMaybe they should rethink the thousands of layoffs they are planning?

Just another day in economyland
Downer: The DOW falls yet another 400!
Jobless claims rise..
What happened to that global recovery?
Global risks..
Obama on vacation on a sunny island..
Thousands gather in Atlanta for a job fair..
Twas always thus. And always thus shall be.
This is not a bit
First the Ed Sullivan theater ransacked and now this
An extreme Jihadist online is calling for the killing of David Letterman ..
The chip to end all chips
IBM is at it again.
The future is now
If you’re not queasy at technology’s implications this may get you there: IBM is revealing that it made a chip that can mimic the human brain..
As the sun turns
Sunspots heating..
And now unfortunately are pointing at earth.. Today NASA released a stunning movie that is galvanizing experts. This as the sun turns to the pale blue dot…as the solar flares churn and the sun burns.

Mark Zuckerberg is on Google plus.. before he upped his privacy settings that’s how he looked. After he looked even happier. FORBES has more.
Now this is really cool stuff..
Imagine a planet.. absorbing all light? It’s the darkest ever planet found, it’s coal black with a slight red glow, and it was found by Kepler.
Discovered: Huge black planet that absorbs all of its light from its star
It’s coal black..
Reflects no light..
Darknest known planet..
Life in the fast lane.
Whenever we get to the month of September, I begin thinking about the year in review prospects for my other site, the HorrorReport.com.. after all there would only be four months left to the year.. And now, here we are, mid August — already! The time is moving faster than I ever remembered.. is it because I have a child? A new life this year making my own zoom ahead in fast forward? Or perhaps it’s because I hit the 30-year-old mark.. halfway home depending on my social security age health..? I don’t know. But what I do think, though no science will ever prove it, the idea of time does change and it does, for some reason, go faster as you get older.. My mom and dad almost 70… my brother and sister in the 40s… and my life changing rapidly daily. All as the earth rotates into infinity..

The end of today.
Goodnight.

Just breaking
A stage at the Indiana State Fair has collapsed, injuring an unknown number of people.
I think I'm going to buy a chalkboard..
and every time Michelle Bachmann speaks, I’ll screech my fingernails across it… since I’d rather listen to that than her.
A little worries over how far a Prime Minister can go…
London’s response to riots: Lose your hat, your home, and cell phone signal..
Going to tackle ‘social problems’..
David Cameron: The iron fist?
Rights groups are uneasy about the Cameron crackdown..
Was it a ‘welfare road’ to riots?
Look to the sky this weekend
Annual Perseid meteor showers light up night sky..
Beautiful August meteor shower..
Cholera outbreak spreads in Somalia..
Famine as well..
Somalia cholera outbreak related to water and sanitation .. spreading quickly ..
Frustration over famine relief..
Somalis flee ‘child conscription’..
Children flood hospitals..
And speaking of Somalia..the United States has been busy—hiring contractors! The US is hiring security firms to train troops.. Bancroft gets the mission .. the US is relying on contractors in the conflict..
There seems to be something fundamentally wrong with this planet, so many times over, and over again.. Prayers for Somalia (and everywhere else strife and famine rule the way)..
Prediction: Rick Perry will be the Republican nominee for President.
Other predictions:
- Ron Paul will run as an independent.
- Big bankers will give big money to both Perry and Obama.
- Obama will still win.
- The Great Depression will continue.

After midnight...
…a meteor shower is set to dazzle watchers… Good luck watching. If you have kids, as I do, you’ll most likely not be able to make it.

Poverty and prejudice..
Police flood streets..
The night the cops lost control..
BBC: From the scene..

Rioters take over city streets..
Fears over 2012 Olympics..

The only song I can think of for a night like tonight. London on fire.. solar flares dire… Wall Street for hire. What a bad day… hopefully it will just get better tomorrow… …*Why do I doubt it will?*

More from London... And not good news, either
Momma said there’s be days like this. And I’m sure ‘mum’ did too.. Too much in bad news today.. my head is spinning.Joblessness, service cuts could fuel more UK rioting
This will undoubtedly become of the more famous photos from the London mayhem: A terrified women jumps from a burning building as the riots continue in one of the most wonderful cities on earth..
Speaking of solar flares.. another one just erupted
Spaceweather.com reporting:
Sunspot 1263 produced an impulsive M3-class solar flare on August 8th at 1810 UT.
The latest on today's horrid day in economics
Big Wall Street plunge: 633 points..
Worst since 2008..
World reacts to USA credit downgrade..
Buying while the market buckles..
The market tanked as Obama talked..
Michael Moore: “Show some guts” to Obama.. arrest the S&P head..
…instead of Michael Moore’s suggestion, Obama blames Tea Party..
Republicans, in turn, blame Obama..
Obama says USA is still AAA..
Financial Armageddon? So say some after the Great American Downgrade..
The news today .. for the first time in a long time.. alarmed me
Call me paranoid but the news of financial Armageddon doubled with prospects of solar flares… yea… call me paranoid. but THAT!
Great story from mothernaturenetwork:
U.S. pipelines at a crossroads
As the Yellowstone oil spill and other recent disasters reveal the risks of aging pipelines, MNN takes a closer look at the 2.5 million miles of oil and gas lines zigzagging across the U.S.
Even more alarming in my mind: So many of the pipelines and gas lines traveling the underground of the United States are made of wood. Really.. they do. More here
Question for science folks?
What scares you the most:
- Solar flares?
- Asteroids?
- Comets?
- The unknown
Just wondering.
For me, it’s probably solar fares… At least there’s the possibility we’d be hit with an asteroid by surprise, but a solar flare? …we got hours of knowledge before it strikes. The ‘knowing’ scares me more than the unknowns…

Everyone is almost all used up.

The hottest trending jobs in a jobless market
It’s all tech. Social media. Marketing… Want to know why we are screwed? WE DON’T MAKE ANYTHING ANYMORE!
The hottest trending jobs in a jobless market
Wow…
Bus on fire in Tottenham, London riots. More at BBC.

RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES
Got lots of responses to my question yesterday on how the newest APES film was.. Most agree: it was great. Now, anyone out there want to babysit so my wife and I can go?
Latest from London: Riot scene being described by news accounts and Twitter feeds across the net.. Being called a war zone, 26 police officers have been hurt..
Dozens have been arrested in the violence..
The riots are taking place in the economically deprived Tottenham area. Police cars are being set of fire, buildings and buses are being torched..
It all began when Mark Duggan, 29, father of four, was killed in what is being described as an ‘apparent’ exchange of gunfire..
Developing story that the world is watching..
Solar flared out? …not the sun. A sunspot, 1263, is only getting bigger.. As a matter of fact, here is how SpaceWeather.com reports it:
Behemoth sunspot 1263 has almost doubled in size this weekend. A 28-hour movie from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory shows the spot developing a tail that has added some 50,000 km of length to the active region. This development may increase the likelihood of a strong flare.
Watching and waiting… staring at the sun….
What a year!
And if they had to do it again, would they have stayed in the mine…?
Living in poverty: A year after the world was chilled watching Chilean miners get rescused on live TV, they still live in poverty and strife..
And not only dealing with poverty, but now they have to deal with fruit being hurled at their heads! Protesters threw fruit at the rescued miners, accusing them of being greedy..
