do you live in centralia?
I lived there originally in my life. We moved back last century. I still visit. My roots are there, regardless of how few buildings are.. My memories from childhood remain there, too.
I was moved to true emotion and sadness this morning looking at some images from the Philippines. I saw a photo, which I will not share due to the graphic nature, of a father holding his toddler in his arms.. he was weeping. She was dead.. he was taking her to the morgue. She was the victim of this tremendous disaster that will be the storm for the record books.. I cannot fathom the thoughts of what happened here.. I also cannot explain how angry I am at American media for their selfish attitude regarding news. They cover politics as though it matters.. they feed us trivial garbage, a steady diet of nonsense that spews from their talking head mouths. I dislike them not for who they are, but for who they pretend they are.. We don’t get news. Thank God for the Internet. I am going to post some links at the bottom of this update that, if you want help, you can click on and send whatever..
The situation in the Philippines has been officially designated a ‘calamity’ by the government there..
Bodies in the Philippines are being piled high in the streets.. I have a big fear that 10,000 dead is an understatement.. I really fear this..
Anger is rising..
Planes that are carrying important aid are grounded because they are TOO BIG to land at the disaster zone’s airport..
Photos of the wrath..
Even more disaster: Earthquake rattles the area hit by superstorm Haiyan..
There are also warnings coming that mudslides may be the next disaster that will unfold for this poor people..
Once again: I was amazed this morning: Tens of thousands potentially dead in the Philippines, China lost a lot of farms from the same storm, another storm kills hundreds in Somalia.. and the top story on the big three network morning news shows? The ‘cold’ in the United States and the coating of snow that some people got—a coating! It’s November. It gets cold. And it snows. Sometimes there’s cold November rain, so say the Guns N Roses. Sometimes snow. Either way, there was no coverage of the unfolding disaster in other nations. But other nations know what goes on in America—we just don’t know what goes on there.. Sickening, news media..sickening.

The sounds of solar silence
Every 11 years the sun cooks.. bakes.. shakes.. rattles and rolls. But this year, the ball of fire has a little less fire. Sunspots this year are like an Art Bell show: You just can’t find it when you expect to..
The strange doings on the sun, as the WALL STREET JOURNAL calls it, is being covered by major media.. Sunspots are half of what they were supposed to be at this point in the cycle..
I recall about two years ago, people were warning of disaster and catastrophe during this sun cycle.. So far, nothing. Which is great for humanity.. But it certainly brings up the question of ‘why’ ?
One NASA expert quoted in the article said this is the weakest the sun has been in 200 years..And it could be all because of a pole shift. The JOURNAL reports,
Researchers are puzzled. They can’t tell if the lull is temporary or the onset of a decades-long decline, which might ease global warming a bit by altering the sun’s brightness or the wavelengths of its light.
"There is no scientist alive who has seen a solar cycle as weak as this one," said Andrés Munoz-Jaramillo, who studies the solar-magnetic cycle at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass.
To complicate the riddle, the sun also is undergoing one of its oddest magnetic reversals on record.
Normally, the sun’s magnetic north and south poles change polarity every 11 years or so. During a magnetic-field reversal, the sun’s polar magnetic fields weaken, drop to zero, and then emerge again with the opposite polarity. As far as scientists know, the magnetic shift is notable only because it signals the peak of the solar maximum, said Douglas Biesecker at NASA’s Space Environment Center.
But in this cycle, the sun’s magnetic poles are out of sync, solar scientists said. The sun’s north magnetic pole reversed polarity more than a year ago, so it has the same polarity as the south pole.
This may be the prime time, though, to start worry about fixing the grid, upgrading the grid, repairing the grid, and modernizing the grid. NOW.. when the going’s good.
And as far as the solar silence: Perhaps we should not complain. Maybe the Northern lights are tamer than some would hope, but electronics don’t get fried when there is no Kill Shot.
And is Ed Dames still calling for that one? Or is he nestled somewhere in comfort with his new Russian wife..?

I have an urge to do this
I am thinking about creating a special section on this website that deals specifically with Centralia PA.. More coming on that later..
[gallery]
I also met several people walking the highway today, including a nice dad and son from New Jersey, the young man was doing a story about Centralia for school.. Hope I helped him with some info..
I swear one day I’m going to open up the hot dog stand here and do tours, I will make a fortune!
It has been a while since I took a stroll down graffiti highway in Centralia, PA… From my pure non scientific observation, its appears that the roadway is finally buckling beyond recognition.. but some new and wonderful graffiti artwork remains

My experience attempting to quit Sirius XM service
Art Bell was taken off INDIE 104. All of his shows for download have been deleted. You can read my epic updates on WWW.HORRORREPORT.COM if you care to know more about this situation. But with it all being over, I decided to end my Sirius XM Service.
If only it was just that easy..
First off.. I promised myself years ago to never sign up for satellite radio—then Art decided to host and I broke my terrestrial radio self-commandment.
After spending over a half hour on the phone, fighting about hidden fees and little early cancellation costs, I will command myself again: NEVER SIGN UP FOR PAY RADIO. I get that companies want to make money.. and I understand I am canceling before my ‘one year of service.’ And now they know that they have one of the worst companies ever—at least in terms of canceling service—that I have ever dealt with…
Here is the kicker that put me over the edge.. I was asked for an explanation on why I was quitting. I explained the obvious, very calm… The nice woman from somewhere on this planet asked if she wanted me to find shows similar to Dark Matter if it would help keep my service. I said sure, be my guest. Six minutes later she came back and asked if I listen to music—obviously her search ended up in a Black Hole. She put me on hold again.. when she came back, she said she wanted me to understand that me quitting is not her company’s fault, but that is was “Clyde Lewis’ own decision to end Ground Zero.”
I was floored.
First off, I explained, Clyde Lewis didn’t host DARK MATTER, and I further explained that there was a separate issue which forced Ground Zero off of satellite radio .. She was legitimately confused as to what I was saying. I mean, if you’re going to spout Jess-written talking points, at least don’t get them confused with each other.
This also tells me some folks have been ending their service since Clyde Lewis is gone, too…
At a certain point, after my early fees and fees and fees and hidden fees and pretend costs, I ended up with $111.11 back—ironic since it was 11/11 that Art’s shows had all been taken off of Sirius. BUT THEN she told me an extra $12 had to come off for some other reason…. I didn’t even fight at this point. I just wanted my money back.. and they have it, and I want it.
And finally.. the final bombed dropped when I ended the call. She said, “thank you, and you should see your money in 10 to 15 business days.”
WHAT!?
Click. On her end.
I better get this money back.
I really better..
Pope Francis embraces man who is severely disfigured.. The image is touching, and it’s being shown throughout the world today.. The man suffers from neurofibromatosis, which causes tumors and pain.. Pope Francis showing the world what it means to be a true religious leader..
Media accounts seem shocked that the Pope not only embraced this man but also “kissed” him. That shock made me wonder if we have completely lost our humanity.This man, and others who have other similar issues, are people. They deserve respect, and love..
The Pope exemplifies what we all should do with the poor, the downtrodden, and the rejected..
Whether you believe in God or not, it’s clear: The Pope is a light in the darkness of the planet right now.
Reports claim that the destruction in the Philippines from Haiyan is ‘absolute bedlam’.. Red Cross workers are describing the horrendous scene on the ground that they are seeing.. Hundreds of thousands of people are displaced and one town of 40,000 people is called Guiuan is said to be largely destroyed.. Even more alarming, the BBC reports that the city of Baco n the Oriental Mindoro province is 80% under water.. that town has 35,000 people in it. I believe with numbers as harrowing as that, the death toll may rise substantially higher than 10,000..
We do know this: Body bags being rushed in.
There are some attempts for rescue victims from the storm still taking place.. Fear and starvation in the Philippines as food mobs are already attacking aid trucks..
The troubling situation with Haiyan is not over. There is Midweek trouble brewing for the Philppines as a new tropical system gets organized..
An expert debunks YouTube video that purports a microwave beam made Haiyan stronger.. It was none other than “Dutch Sinse” .. and he took to Facebook to defend his accusation of a manmade weather system..
Here is the Dutchsinse video in question..
The Philippines turns into hell on earth.. Some reports have said that the survivors of Haiyan have been said to be walking like zombies across the destroyed landscape, in search of food.. even more, food water, and medical supplies are dangerously short.

Art Bell now actively expressing his anger with Sirius XM executives.
Bell is awesome.. he always ends up hating every employer he had. He reminds me of the main character of the movie OFFICE SPACE, who just decides to quit his job because he wants to.
PG-13 movies are now more violent than R-rated '80s flicks, a study concludes

why did you copy my theme?
I did not. I downloaded the Ashley theme by Jxnblk. And used it. As maybe you did too.. I also made my own logo and own top header. So … I did not steal your theme, no more than 12,000 other people did who are also using the Ashley Theme.
So I don’t quite get what you are talking about
The photo pictured here is an AP image from Jim Weber of 83-year-old Jim Brown, a veteran who served in both Vietnam and Korea.. That is what today means: Pride, honor, and service..
In 1919, Woodrow Wilson proclaimed today Armistice Day. After a few more ‘wars to end all wars,’ Congress changed Armistice to Veterans Day in 1954.. Since then, every November 11, we have stopped to memorialize veterans who are still living..
There is also some confusion, though, as many today have vigils and ceremonies for the dead .. however today is the day to thank and honor the living.
Thank you Veterans for service.. thank you for your sacrifice.. There is so much gratitude owed to you, it can never be completely fulfilled. The world is a better place because of your actions, and the United States is a better nation because of your honor..
The Veterans Day (and more) news roundup is as follows..

GRAHAM From the movie SIGNS:
People break down into two groups. When they experience something lucky, group number one sees it as more than luck, more than coincidence. They see it as a sign, evidence, that there is someone up there, watching out for them. Group number two sees it as just pure luck. Just a happy turn of chance. I’m sure the people in group number two are looking at those fourteen lights in a very suspicious way. For them, the situation is a fifty-fifty. Could be bad, could be good. But deep down, they feel that whatever happens, they’re on their own. And that fills them with fear. Yeah, there are those people. But there’s a whole lot of people in group number one. When they see those fourteen lights, they’re looking at a miracle. And deep down, they feel that whatever’s going to happen, there will be someone there to help them. And that fills them with hope. See what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, that sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky? Or, look at the question this way: Is it possible that there are no coincidences?
It’s been two years since the death of a very important person..
Do they leave signs for you to keep hope, even after they have left this reality?

Under Health Care Act, Millions Eligible for Free Policies
Federal subsidies will pay the entire monthly cost of some plans being offered in the online marketplaces, a surprising figure that has not gotten much attention, in part because the zero-premium plans come with serious trade-offs.

This is the future of war. You thought the weapons of today were modern, think again.. drones will be nothing compared to am EMP attack.. if this story is correct, we are getting awfully close to dramatically dangerous hands getting horrendous weapons of war.

If so, LOTS OF CONTRACTORS and weapons manufactures are having quite the field day with creating a bleak future. Hope the enjoy the money while their ATMs work..

The Naval cavity has been exposed.
Expect to hear about this one .. What do prostitutes, Lady Gaga tickets, and a production of the Lion Ling all have in common? A breaking news story involving a bribery case and the Navy. The WASHINGTON POST has the full story here on something you should know.
The POST reports this:
It started with an invitation to the Broadway production of “The Lion King” in Tokyo for the Navy commander, his wife and their children.
In the end, the Malaysian defense contractor known in military circles as “Fat Leonard” would use prostitutes, plane tickets and other bribes to hook the U.S. Naval officer into a scheme that overbilled the Pentagon by millions, investigators say in court papers.
The subject matter…Gaga…the Lion King… all made better by the inclusion of a “Fat Leonard” into the mix.
And you will not be able to read this story without humming the VILLAGE PEOPLE classic song.. I dare you to try.

Stores Nationwide Begin Holiday Season Early Despite Negative Reaction
You read that CBS headline right. We are already tired of Christmas shopping and it’s not even Christmas.
Maybe that is the reason.
We need to celebrate Halloween…thanksgiving..then other holidays after. WE get rushed through life. Back to school shopping in July. Easter candy in January… Halloween in September, and by the time you’re actually getting a costume, early Christmas sales take place.
I happen to love Thanksgiving..and I find it sad we sort of seem to miss it every year..
So let’s take a pause. There’s plenty of time to shop for Christmas, let’s take it easy..
HOLY CRAP, IT’S ONLY 7 WEEKS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!?!?!?

GAGA did her thing tonight.. And apparently a lot of people hated it
THE LA TIMES SAYS,
She was crying too. Tears streamed silently down her face as she wailed, and viewers streamed silently out of the show. During the three minutes or so that Gaga was on screen more than 4,000 viewers exited and continued to do so as microphones cut in and out, cakes were mashed to uncover awards, and Tyler the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt were bleeped out for most of their unintelligible performance.
By the time the webcast was almost an hour in viewership had dropped from its peak of about 215,000 to a median of about 180,000. This for an event that 60 million people apparently voted for.
YouTube may break viral videos, but unless it tries harder next time it may not be able to break itself.
There may have been a point to how she performed—she is performing the song like a junkie..
But this is the INTERNET baby! If people click off, it’s a loser.
However, in this case, they may be the losers… the performance is pretty darn good for purposely trying to sound bad.

A must read:

Did you know…
40 percent of people with asthma in California are renters, which can limit their ability to rid their homes of dust mites, mold, and secondhand smoke.
Children from low-income families are more likely to live next to freeways and be exposed to bio allergens from proximity to agricultural and industrial operations.
- And nowhere in California is this more apparent than in the Central Valley.

The active sun..
There have been 28 solar flares this week alone.
And more are most likely coming.
The active period of the sun’s 11 year cycle is now here..And that may mean absolutely nothing. Or something. It depends on the strength of the flare, of course.
Science is finally trying to figure out why dogs’ tails wag and what it means when they do.

I believe this may have been a stock photo from the AP that was taken from a hilltop near St. Ignatius cemetery. Could be wrong. All the houses in it are gone. And THAT is what’s wrong.

There are some very interesting details about the 2012 election in the new book DOUBLE DOWN, especially about Chris Christie
During the 2012 presidential campaign, Mitt Romney ranked Chris Christie among the final contenders to be his running mate. That is until the Republican nominee started digging into the New Jersey governor’€™s record
TIME magazine also wrote this:
Chronically behind schedule, Christie made a habit of showing up late to Romney fundraising events. In May he was so tardy to a donor reception at the Grand Hyatt New York that Mitt wound up taking the stage to speak before Christie arrived. When the Jersey governor finally made his grand entrance, it was as if Mitt had been his warm-up act.
Punctuality mattered to Romney. Christie’s lateness bugged him. Mitt also cared about fitness and was prone to poke fun at those who didn’t. (“Oh, there’s your date for tonight,” he would say to male members of his traveling crew when they spied a chunky lady on the street.) Romney marveled at Christie’s girth, his difficulties in making his way down the narrow aisle of the campaign bus. Watching a video of Christie without his suit jacket on, Romney cackled to his aides, “Guys! Look at that!”
There’s more..
I definitely plan on trying to find a bookstore that may still exist to find DOUBLE DOWN..

And with Daylight Savings, maybe you’ll be awake.
Science explains, of course, why these events occur. But that little part of me that likes mystery and menace still loves the myths that have surrounded such solar actions for centuries.

Well today is it.. It’s not the darkest day of the year, that comes before Christmas, but it’s Daylight Savings Time. There’s lots of old farm reasons we do it.. George W. Bush changed the time of year we did it a decade ago. I still don’t get that one.
But here we are again.. falling back—and hour more of sleep tonight, but of course having a child I will just be up an early earlier than normal..
It is strange.. As I type this it’s 11:30am. This time tomorrow it will be 10:30…
Something always feels lost this time of year, besides sunlight and daytime hours.
Thank God someone decided to keep pagan traditions alive in the early Christian church. If not, there’d be no Christmas lights in the dark, dull winter air..
Daylight savings coming in.
By the way, this Counting Crows song was recorded in the year 1996, and there have been lots of daylights savings since then. I was 16 and the world was in front of me. But I have come to learn that each November, things all become the same…cold days, lonely nights, leaves slowly falling around me.. A whirlwind of autumn leaving, making way for the death of winter.

But reports aren’t stop some leaders from making strange choices, such as Harper from Canada selling the fresh water supply to a French company..

Quickly.. And now we march as a civilization into the other season. In America, Thanksgiving. And across the world; Christmas. Santa Claus is putting away the Halloween mask and warming up the sleigh.. His slave labor camp is going into high gear.. Elves’ breaks are stopping. Hope he put the suicide nets outside of the North Pole.

"Now I prefer cloudy days when the drones don’t fly. When the sky brightens and becomes blue, the drones return and so does the fear. Children don’t play so often now, and have stopped going to school. Education isn’t possible as long as the drones circle overhead"
Still not concerned about collateral damage? Perhaps then you lost your humanity.
A Pakistani teenager tells US how his grandmother was killed by strike
A woman believes that she was healed by a ghost, and also goes on to claim that she has a photo to prove it..She said that the ‘White Lady’ in a church during a family summer holiday.. Does this photo prove that a ghostly angel may have assisted in healing someone, or is it proof that ‘mind over matter’ is stronger than we think?
She got better AFTER she was shown the image.. perhaps her mind filled with joy and wonderment .. maybe a spirit did it. OR maybe her brain simply got a jump charge of positive reinforcement…
And maybe, as some would argue, science and God would go hand in hand, that there was a spirit and her brain did jump start, but that they both worked together.
I am undecided. This did not occur to me, so I cannot judge her situation or predicament. I can only wonder.. and question.. constantly.
Halloween safety worries lead to 'trunk-or-treating'
The latest scares of the world have led to this: “Trunk or treating.” People are getting candy ‘off the streets’ and instead putting them in trunks of cars in church parking lots.. to make things safer.. although children may not be safer around certain church leaders, I suppose this is all just eventual.
Nevermind the stories that I have been posting in which there have not been these ‘razor blades in apples’ that people always though.. Blame those rumors and decades-long scares on pure rumor and speculation. They didn’t happen.
Nonetheless, let’s go get dressed up in an expensive costume and go to the trunk of one car. Sounds fun.
Yeah.

The monsters of Jedwabne
The film is called AFTERMATH. The HOLLYWOOD REPORTER is reporting about the film today.. It perhaps may be one of the most important movies ever made, and since it is about actual events that some have chosen to forget, will be controversial too..
It details some horrible series of events that happened on July 10 1941.. It premiers in the United States this week..
If you want to know how controversial this movie may be, consider just the opening paragraph of the HOLLYWOOD REPORTER story:
On July 10, 1941, half the residents of Jedwabne, a Polish village 85 miles northeast of Warsaw, murdered the other half. The mob, led by the mayor, were Catholics; their 1,600 victims were Jewish, slaughtered over several nightmarish hours with bats, knives, rifles and other improvised weapons. Those who survived the massacre were then rounded up in a barn donated by a local farmer, which was then set ablaze. A plaque erected at the site blamed Nazis for the massacre, but, in fact, Nazis had only authorized it. Locals walked by the plaque for half a century, knowing the truth, but saying nothing
The story of Jedwabne is not the typical one taught in American high schools. As a matter of fact, most people may not even know of the dreadful story.. They will this week, at least those who hear of the movie..
In 2001, a book called NEIGHBORS explores the death of the 1,600 people.. While I never read it, this may be as good a time as any to reflect on history that mostly has gone unnoticed in the United States.
God fearing Catholics..armed with weapons of little destruction, killed their neighbors …
One part of the story, also that may come as a surprise to those who are not aware, the Poles actually asked their new rulers, the Nazis, if it was permitted they kill the Jews. When they got the greenlight, they went overboard—so much so that the Nazis actually told the Poles to keep one family of Jews from every profession.. the Poles said no thanks, as they continued their bloody rampage..
Those resources and information sources are set to increase with the movie AFTERMATH.
Consider this review from the VILLAGE VOICE.
This movie is important to understand, watch..and ponder.
Like the MONSTERS OF MULLBERRY STREET of fiction, this movie based on reality can teach a lesson. A lesson that, as sadly timeless as it may be, atrocities can happen where and when you least expect them…

People biologically take pleasure in the pain of others
At one time we watched people get hanged in town squares.. Before that we put people on the rack.. Burned witches… So on and so on…
But now we have proof that we like watching people get soaked by taxis …
Did we really need a study to prove the deepest and darkest secrets about the human mind?
People biologically take pleasure in the pain of others
Samhain set: Witches are the most popular costume in 2013, princesses for kids. Not making the list: The TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES. I frankly think they were the most popular this year, since we could not find any for my son in a 100 mile square radius. I guess the best gauge for that will be so see if any heroes in a half shell end up joining Ayden in night life trick or treating..

The best book covers ever—-and some of the best books ever, too. I remember being frightened of these imaginative stories as a child—some have stuck with me ever since.
There was a yearly ‘book fair’ that would show up in my grade school. I went to a Catholic school, so nice child-friendly books were proudly on display. But if you looked hard enough, you can find these books there.. I bought it sneakily, as though I was doing something bad, and tucked it away in my bookbag until I got home. I’d read it at night, and covered myself with blankets when I heard the house squeak….
They were scary stories to tell in the dark…
And if I’m not mistaken, they still exist somewhere in my house. I just have to find them…
When I do my son will inherit the treasure..
The mystery of yeast
I pride myself in being a decent cook.. someone who can put a little love into something and end up with something tasty..
So in my “one ingredient diet" recently, I planned the big one: Baking my own homemade bread. The concept itself was beautiful in my mind.. in practice? Well..
I’ve not reached three homemade loaves of bread that were crusty, heavy, and didn’t quite ‘rise’ the way I wanted. I have never really used yeast before, and figure my misunderstanding of yeast is my roadblock..
This bread thing? It’s like a science project.. I actually feared that my yeast would rise too much and my house would suddenly take on the appearance of a 1950s rerun of I LOVE LUCY. But alas, it was not meant to be.
The loaves had decent flavors.. but once they got cool, they turned into rock hard entities, things that look like they’d look better as a garden decoration than a food product..
I need more fluff.
More yeast? Less?
A house of bread would be better than a rock hard insult.
I will persevere, though! This dough ain’t got me down.
INCOMING!
Asteroid due to fly in between Earth and the moon
SPACE.com: NASA’s Near-Earth Object Program says a small asteroid will fly in between Earth and the moon on Tuesday, with its closest pass to our planet occurring around 5:45 p.m. ET.
The asteroid was first discovered on Oct. 25. During its closest pass, the space rock will fly by Earth at a distance of about 176,000 miles. It’s estimated to be between 39 and 89 feet wide.

There sure have been lots of weird anomalies in the sky in recent days.
Good thing FEMA REGION 3 is ready for anything.. right?
