Massive hurricanes used to strike New England. Now scientists are worried that will happen again

Monster hurricanes once plagued New England.. new predictions today that the history of horror may repeat itself.. While Europe was going through the Middle Ages, America’s East Coast was being pummeled by hurricanes at least as intense as Katrina every 40 years or so.. Such storms would be catastrophic if they hit the northeast U.S. today, according to lead author Jeff Donnelly of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution… 

Is this simply a plant of a story to mentally prep us for something they know is coming?


Two completely alternate views of the current measles and vaccine controversy.. One from WIRED on anti-vaxxers in Silicon Valley; another from TRUTHOUT on Merck itself..

WIRED magazine argues the case: How to get Silicon Valley anti-vaxxers to change their minds.. But quick the alternate argument was presented in TRUTHOUT with a piece written by ALEX JAMES, who says the dangers presented by recent revelations about MERCK are much more troubling than anti-vaxxers.

NBC expands 'SNL 40th Anniversary Special' to more than three hours

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE 40th anniversary special will be more than three hours long.. Which I think is well worth it. The show, for all its troubles through time, has given us memorable pop culture moments.. sadly most cast members were forgettable. 

Maybe it was because it was when I was younger and dumber, but I think some of the best humor on the show came from the 92-94 seasons and then the 97-2004 years.. The most recent few have showcased how the program is quickly losing its influence as the power of television wanes..

More on Carr's death: Just hours before his death he had moderated a "Times Talks" conversation with Edward Snowden, director Laura Poitras and journalist Glenn Greenwald about the documentary "Citizenfour," which chronicles Snowden's leak of National Security Agency documents. Carr, engaged as always, drew them out with pointed questions and wry observations to speak candidly about the film.

Yep. Getting creepy.

Musingsinhtx is referring to this just posted tonight.. 

And to answer: Indeed I did hear Clyde Lewis—I also sent him the link tonight through Twitter of the most recent two deaths, and he spoke about it on his show only moments ago..

The ‘brain drain’ he is talking about is interesting.. He compared it to the way the Dirty War was fought in Argentina.

There’s one thing about Clyde Lewis that I love.. he makes me think differently than any other host or program out there.

Art Bell resigning the night? Without his bumper music, his show WILL NOT go on

It is really, really, really hard being an Art Bell fan on days like today..


Art Bell resigning the night? Without his bumper music, his show WILL NOT go on

This is Craig Stephen Hicks, 46.. He surrendered to police after allegedly killing 23-year-old Deah Barakat, his wife Yusor Abu-Salha, 21, and her sister, Razan Abu-Salha, 19, in their home.. 

Disgusting to say the least..

There is worldwide anger on social media with accusations that American media is busy ignoring this hate crime..

One fact worth noting:

Some reports point to a possible parking dispute as the catalyst, although Hicks also appeared to harbor vehemently anti-religious views, not only toward Islam but toward all faiths. His Facebook page includes a post denouncing both Christianity and Islam. In January, Hicks posted a photo of what he claimed was his .38-caliber revolver.

Parking anger.. And hatred of all religions..

I suppose another killing in the name of no god.

This is why we should never look at the world as black and white .. We miss the beauty of uncertainly and the simplicity of shades of gray.

Horror behind the walls: PA family finds disturbing discovery in house

This is a story from my local area—but worthy of some attention from fans of the macabre or slightly paranormal..

In Auburn, PA, a tiny little hamlet in Schuylkill County, a secret existed behind the walls of a quaint house..

FOX 43 ran a story about the Bretzius and their discovery of a disturbing secret behind their walls: It was insulated with dead animals..

WNEP interviewed the family .. as expected, Kaiji Bretzius was a little shocked and horrified by what was hidden in their home..

We were shocked, horrified, and disgusted

Fair to say that would be the emotional of us would experience if faced with the same circumstances, no?

WNEP’s  Jackie de Tore goes on to report more:

The mother of four said they first found animals in the walls back in 2012 and have been removing the items ever since.
The dead animals were all wrapped in old newspapers from the 1930s and 40s.
She said when they got a home inspection before they bought the place in Auburn, the inspector didn’t find a thing.
“We got the radon inspection. We looked for everything. We didn’t know to look for chickens.”
The family said when they bought the house in 2011, it was their dream home because they weren’t going to have to do any work, but now that’s all they’ve been doing.

Insurance isn’t covering the situation since the corpses of the animals were there long before this family bought what they thought would be their dream house.

A dream became a nightmare according to their account. They aren’t sure if all the dead animals are out.. 

Various reports indicate that the animals were most likely placed there because of the old Pennsylvania Dutch tradition of pow-wowing—an American folk and magic belief held by the Dutch in the Keystone state decades ago, taking from even older traditions that link back to Germany.. 

So what a tale! Witch doctors and powwows.. the Dutch. Home ownership. Undoubtedly a perogie and sausage sandwich will show up sooner or later..

But there are some not buying it.

The family has chosen to begin a GO FUND ME campaign to raise more money to get more dead animals from out behind the walls.. but at least a few viewers of WNEP and readers of the article aren’t believing the tale..

A few snippets from a few commentators on the WNEP article:

Get freakin real! Mold? There is NO WAY, NO HOW in the WORLD, mold will be caused from a dried up old carcass from the 1930s-1940s. There’s no moisture there. There wouldn’t even be a smell. Creepy? Yeah. Insurance claim? Come on. Welcome to home ownership. Inspectors can’t find everything. They don’t have x-ray vision.

Another:

GoFundMe? How about this: go after whatever home inspector who didn’t do his job, or the previous owners who didn’t disclose the Dead Animal Insulation. Asking for handouts is so damned cocky.

This:

Someone should do a fundraiser to help remove the bones and spices. Maybe a few of the hunting clubs, wait, wait, I know……….THEY COULD SELL T-SHIRTS………

This one from ‘neighbor’ is interesting:

This was actually my aunt and uncle’s house. They lived there for close to 50 years before it was sold, but they did move in it after the critters would have been put in the walls and I can honestly say that they had no clue that any of this was there. I visited there many times growing up and they raised 4 boys and we never were sick or noticed odd smells. It must have been exposed when the walls were ripped out in construction.


Regardless of a few ‘spicy’ comments—powwow pun certainly intended there—the Go Fund Me campaign is already raising some cash..  The story is also making some national news now that various other ABC and FOX affiliates are picking it up.

One comment the Go Fund Me account perhaps said it best.

Look on the bright side… It’s not haunted

As long as the powwow inspired Dutch medicine man in Pennsylvania got his ancient potions and magic right of course.

Like besides being creepy as heck and stuff, smart tv's encourage self censorship. Idk I think that's dangerous.

Amazingly good point, thank you for making it. People will now, because of all of these revelations about what SAMSUNG’s products (and others too) can do, they will be a little more fearful walking in their homes.. a little more self-censored. A little less themselves.. Even if people go by that awfully annoying motto “if you have nothing to fear you won’t be worried” nonsense, they will still act different knowing what their living room friend can hear.

I also think this: Red light cameras have led to less people picking their noses at red lights.. Think about it.

Also street light cams have led to quieter streets..

People, when they are being watched, act different. 

I try to be myself no matter where.. But I certainly don’t want a third party knowing me THAT well.. 

Of course, I have a PHILLIPS. But I didn’t read their legal agreement .. I assume I’m being listened to as well. 

Self-censorship is dangerous. Marching to the beat of ‘their’ drum, regardless of who ‘they’ are, is an insult to your character and your own personality. And it’s going to be more commonplace as our technology tracks our every move.

Samsung TVs freak users out by inserting ads into movies

If people are creeped out by this, they must have missed last week’s big news that SAMSUNG is warning purchasers of smart TVs that they should not have personal conversations in front of the device for fear that third party advertisers will get a hold of it..

It should all be creepy..

I can foresee one day coming soon—very soon since it seems to be going so fast lately—when you’ll be watching a home video of you in your private setting.. and your “SMART” device will note a product in the house. Perhaps a beer can, Pepsi bottle, or particular cereal.. suddenly you’ll be beamed an advertising lallapalooza ..

Until then, people will lament their smart TEEVEES..

Careful, Your Samsung Smart TV Might Be Eavesdropping on You

No chance for damage control at SAMSUNG.. the company has been in the news for having actual text in their documents warning consumers of smart TVs not to have personal conversations in front of them.. They will be recorded and sold to third party people.. SAMSUNG shares fell and an outcry has ensued among people who suddenly realize their privacy got sold when they bought their TV.

The gigantic blast that rocked Donetsk, Ukraine, apparently was at a chemical plant. Videos showing the gigantic explosion were being shared on social media websites and Internet forums, with some claiming it was small, “tactical nuke.” “This was caused by a dropped cigarette butt,” the Ukraine army’s Anti-Terrorist Operation spokesman, Andrey Lysenko, said, according to Russian state broadcaster RT.com. “Accidents often happen in factories where no one is responsible for fire safety. Well, it’s chaos, and they are barbarians.”

Whoa..

Child sex abuse gangs could have assaulted ONE MILLION youngsters in the UK: Rotherham’s Labour MP Sarah Champion describes it as a “national disaster” and is demanding a taskforce to fight the “horror"

The UK MIRROR running this story by Lucy Thornton..

Among the troubling text, this:

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mirror the shaken MP has told how she ‘nearly lost her mind’ after victims turned to her for help - unable to trust the police or local council.
She is currently getting an average of 10 victims a week coming to her for help.
Fighting back tears she told how she feared having a nervous breakdown worried about failing the “amazing women” and her horror after finding out a manual for grooming existed for paedophiles.

This has been ongoing for some time.. Five months ago, I had a post about this when news broke that UK politicians failed to stop the crimes against children in Rotherham that went on for almost two decades..

The UK seems to be the place of perversion as of late.. Not long ago Jimmy Saville’s disgusting image was gracing lots of publications each time a new tidbit of perversion was revealed to the public about his life and ability to molest without much ado..

This new MIRROR article detailed more:

"It feels like the Government is leaving Rotherham to die. It feels like we’re not on their doorstep so it doesn’t matter.”
She welcomed experts coming into Rotherham to help them but said the Government should have stepped in after the Jay Report, six months ago.
“We would have been able to move forward as a town much quicker,” she said.
“There are hundreds of thousands and I think there could be up to a million victims of exploitation nationwide, including right now. Girls in the process of being groomed,” she said.
“I have met people from all over the country.
“If you just think we know at least four big cases each with a couple of thousand each in smallest towns. It’s extraordinary.
“I was talking to sixth formers on Monday and all of the girls there had either personal or direct experience of people trying to manipulate them through sexting. You have online grooming.

There is some more news on the matter.. such as this: Nigel Farage has cancelled a public appearance in Rotherham because of protests outside his party’s office.

And more: Lawyer says complaints about Hassan Ali’s alleged unwillingness to pursue claims must be investigated despite his death after collision with car

Can’t leave out this: Rotherham Abuse Scandal Policeman DiesThe death of PC Hassan Ali, who was reportedly being investigated by the police watchdog, is not being treated as suspicious… Suspicious? how silly.. 

This from the IBTIMES: An editorial on the ‘what must be said’ Muslin connection, as according to the editorial writer..

I think a lot more will be coming out. And being said. And being reported.. rumors and fact will collide in a storm of horror.. But the number of victims will grow. It always does..


Child sex abuse gangs could have assaulted ONE MILLION youngsters in the UK: Rotherham’s Labour MP Sarah Champion describes it as a “national disaster” and is demanding a taskforce to fight the “horror"

This is what an ice storm looks like, and it’s happening today.

Good luck to all in purple..

Pure speculation.. but that's what I often do best..

 Back in September 2007, the LONDON TELEGRAPH reported that Russia had tested the ‘father of all bombs’ .. this is how reporter Adam Blomfield described the new weapon at that time:

Developed in secret, the unchristened bomb, a vacuum device capable of emitting shockwaves as powerful as a nuclear weapon, was unveiled with great theatre on state television’s main evening broadcast.

Boasting that the weapon had “no match in the world,” ORT First Channel television showed a Tupolev Tu-160 strategic bomber dropping its payload over a testing ground, followed by a massive explosion.
Pictures of what appeared to be crumpled multi-storey apartment blocks were also broadcast.

And the picture of what it looked like:

Things have changed since 2007. Then it was Georgia on Vlad’s mind.. Now Pootie Poot’s focus has changed, of course, to Ukraine..

But last night there was an incident that sent shockwaves over the landscape of Ukraine and across social networks—although the mainstream media thoroughly refused to report anything of it and instead focused heavily on Beyonce’s dress from the Grammy awards.

Oh and ACDC performed..
Did you see Kanye? And Beck? ! Oh the controversy.

Nonetheless, this is what last night’s explosion in Ukraine looked like: 

There is also a lot of debate in the comments and reblogs of a post I put up last night showing the video of the blast, which many rumored on Twitter and Facebook to be a nuke..

Could it be that the father has been unleashed? Is it possible we are seeing a chemical weapons blast like some say, or perhaps a larger more battle-ready capable new way of killing?

I don’t know..

Speculation. Speculation..
Speculation.

But it’s worth speculating about..

This Russia Ukraine deal still has a chance of dragging the world down with it in a geo-political quagmire.. 

UK INDEPENDENT reporting: As the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, prepared to brief Barack Obama in Washington on Monday about the state of the negotiations, a former US ambassador to Ukraine predicted that Estonia and the other Baltic states – all members of Nato – could be Vladimir Putin’s next targets if he is allowed to hold on to territory won by force.

There are two sides to all coins.

ON this matter, there’s about about 20 different sides with coins on the table..

Horror is dead.

Good article from MOVIEPIOLOT.COM: Why modern horror movies don’t get it right. I agree with the point of this article by Pedro Asdrubal Diaz.. modern horror is not memorable. Last night after many things led me to miss the ANNABELLE release in theaters, we finally found a copy in a REDBOX and watched it .. The group of us who saw it figured it was going to be a modern classic. It was not. It was actually quite forgettable and unmemorable..  Creativity seems to be completely lost.

Will there be some horror hope? Here are 10 movies  of the horror genre to look forward to this year.  UNFRIENDED looks creepy.. 31 looks avoidable in my opinion.. `KNOCK KNOCK looks ridiculous.. IT FOLLOWS will be great, judging from early reviews..SPRING looks creepy.. And POLTERGEIST?  After a good trailer I am suddenly accepting this remake. We will see and time will tell if the film is as good as the two minute preview..

This news from Oregon and Washington state is alarming: Mysterious ‘dirty rain’ is falling over the two states..


Maureen Dowd: NBC executives were warned a year ago that Brian Williams was constantly inflating his biography. They were flummoxed over why the leading network anchor felt that he needed Hemingwayesque, bullets-whizzing-by flourishes to puff himself up, sometimes to the point where it was a joke in the news division.

NBC THE CHIMES OF DOOM PLAY FOR BRIAN WILLIAMS

The NBC NEWS chimes of doom are famous.. when  they break into the television norm to tell of breaking news,  you know the world has changed in some way, whether small or large.. They sound, quite frankly, frightening. Especially for those who vividly recall things like 9/11, when the chimes were busy for days.. A memory recall for those not familiar with the doom-ish feeling that comes from hearing the NBC breaking news theme:

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECq3NqluCaQ?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1&origin=https://safe.txmblr.com&wmode=opaque&w=500&h=281]

Those chimes are playing for Brian Williams now.

It seems quite unlikely that Brian Williams will be able to continue news in the current environment. As we now have come to learn, Williams is taking a leave of absence from the NBC NEWS job, writing this:

In the midst of a career spent covering and consuming news, it has become painfully apparent to me that I am presently too much a part of the news, due to my actions. “As managing editor of NBC Nightly News, I have decided to take myself off of my daily broadcast for the next several days, and Lester Holt has kindly agreed to sit in for me to allow us to adequately deal with this issue. Upon my return, I will continue my career-long effort to be worthy of the trust of those who place their trust in us.”

His statement sounded complex.. It’s difficult to figure out if he’s done for good or just hoping some of the feeding frenzy lessens.
I don’t think it will..

People following Williams on Twitter already know that his entire Twitter feed vanished early on think ‘my helicopter took fire’ scandal.. Even further, Williams became associated with interesting comments about watching bodies float by him after Katrina–trouble was, he wasn’t in a place of New Orleans where that was happening. He also said he got sick from drinking flood waters.. But it does not appear other surrounding him recall that vividly..

I ponder to myself if Williams just wants to fantasize about these tall tales as a way of giving himself more street cred? Drum up the news and include himself in there so he seems more trustworthy. Get into the action, and if the action doesn’t find you, just pretend it did.

Any return to the news, this age, won’t work.. You don’t have to look too far in the past to realize how truth often begins to slowly leak out and then sooner or later floodgates are broken. And the levees fail. In Williams’ case, even with NBC NEWS deleting his entire online history, there’s enough history in other places. Bill Cosby wanted to be ‘memed’ online. Instead he was maimed and his life turned upside down when this generation found out that the previous generation ignored rape claims for various women.

People will scour through every bit of public record for other flaws in Williams’ character. And when that starts to happen, undoubtedly even the cleanest person will become tarnished with some mistruth and consequence..

This is a lesson: Be honest. Be good. Be real.
People love real. And quite frankly, I think human beings are becoming a little better adapted at figuring out who is real and who isn’t..
Except on this one. Brian Williams had me fooled..

Did he commit a crime? No. Did he do something unforgivable? Not really. But did he include himself and brag about things that never occurred? Yes. And in doing so, he may very well have destroyed his career..


Maureen Dowd: NBC executives were warned a year ago that Brian Williams was constantly inflating his biography. They were flummoxed over why the leading network anchor felt that he needed Hemingwayesque, bullets-whizzing-by flourishes to puff himself up, sometimes to the point where it was a joke in the news division.

Anyone using ELLO?

General Mills Starts Pulling Preservatives After Assault From Food Babe Army

There’s another win in the FOOD BABE category.. People hate this lady. I don’t.. anything to add less ingredients to food is a win in my book..

Lots of nostalgia is on MASHABLE today now that Radio Shack has declared bankruptcy.. among the reads: 

Ads from the early days.

Commercials from long ago..

Among the creepiest:

This is not good..

Not only the pilot story false.. but now questions are mounting concerning about Brian Williams’ memories of Katrina..

I wrote previously of how Brian Williams had the best voice for news. But apparently he also had the ego for it too..

Tall tales from the  various places he has been are now becoming subject to quite a bit of investigation. Even Brokaw wants him gone.

Meanwhile Brian Williams’ twitter account is barren…

Anthem, Major Health Insurer, Suffers Hack Attack

This is big..
And as with every other major hack, we are probably not yet hearing the full story


Anthem, Major Health Insurer, Suffers Hack Attack

Islamic State jihadists are killing kidnapped Iraqi children, including by crucifixion or by burying them alive, with others being sold as sex slaves, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child said.

There are grisly details of the reign of terror.. ISIS has continued to expand its territory.. and with each new town taken, more death and brutal bloodshed has taken place in its path..

The world, mostly, hasn’t talked much about the crimes against humanity taking place.. 

While beheadings and now the burning of the Jordanian pilot have dominated headlines and debate, some more horrific things are taking place to the most innocent: Children in Iraq..

Among the ways children are meeting their early demise: Crucifixions.. being buried alive.. being sold as sex slaves and becoming victims of rape and torture.. And those under 18, more and more, are being used as suicide bombers. Not just kids.. mentally challenged kids. One quote from Renate Winter with the UN committee:

We have had reports of children, especially children who are mentally challenged, who have been used as suicide bombers, most probably without them even understanding

Perhaps you should read that again:

We have had reports of children, especially children who are mentally challenged, who have been used as suicide bombers, most probably without them even understanding


Let it sink in..
Let the headline escape..

There are stories of children being sold at markets with price tags on them. Sexual enslavement has become commonplace..

The news from this land seems to be that of the middle ages, when darkness ruled the land and no hope was found. The modern age has somehow forgotten about the children of Iraq. We went into the nation over a decade ago and ‘liberated’ a people—now their children are growing up in the constant fear of murder and mayhem. That is a punishment not even worthy of animals..

Several cases of the mass execution of boys.
The murder of the most precious of our people on the planet.

This post, as I write, has brought me to literal tears.

In our world—with all of the simplicities and technologies—should be opposed to violence and abhorrent behavior. But now we should have evolved beyond our old style evils and reached for the stars. We should have high speed travel across the planet and a way to quickly get to other planets. Instead we continue to warp our minds in medieval mayhem and, in the end, kill our planet’s very soul in the process.

I think the gates of hell are open. Sadly, the doors blew off and no one can close them up again..

NBC’s Brian Williams recants Iraq story after soldiers protest

I always liked Brian Williams. He was this generation’s ‘cool guy’ anchor.

But now social media has hit him hard.. he ‘misremembered’ events from years ago.. actually, he has been telling a lie for years about something that never occurred. And he was called out on it.

I am very disappointing.. as many others are.

Of course it has led to a number of humorous memes, like this:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B9C02HDCIAA3mnH.png:large


There is one ominous thing to consider with this: Brian William’s entire TWITTER history has been wiped clean tonight.. his profile is there but there’s no tweets left. Gone..

I suppose we may learn why in coming hours..#BrianWililamsMemories has produced some amazingly funny Tweets tonight..

Is this his downfall, or will he recover?
It’s up to the Twitterverse now I suppose.

Obama Admin Grants Immunity To CDC Scientist That Fudged Vaccine Report…Whistleblower Plans To Testify Before Congress

This bit of news is coming at a very interesting time in public health and American politics. The recent measles outbreak has increased an already intense dialogue between pro and anti vaccine groups.. While countless studies conclude that vaccines are safe and don’t have a direct effect leading to autism, others still insist that there has been a overreaching attempting by big drug companies to hide any evidence of vaccine injury cases.

We first detailed the matter of William Thompson five months ago. Then, we attempted to weed through the convoluted and confusing story of his allegations. At that time, mainstream media sources covered Thompson’s accusations but didn’t give them much merit.   The Atlanta study at the center of this controversy supposedly showed a link between African American boys and the appearance of autism after the MMR vaccine was administered.. But Thompson alleged CDC attempts to hide that data and fudge numbers to showcase no link between them..

Thompson, since then, has nto ended his fight.. Even more, as we see today with this grant of immunity as a whistleblower, the next phase may give the still-employed-at-the-CDC Thompson a much larger venue to state his case..

Patrick Howley of the DAILY CALLER writes this,

In 2004, Dr. William S. Thompson worked on a report for the CDC’s National Immunization Program. That report, which ran in the “Pediatrics” medical journal, came to the conclusion that there’s no link between vaccines and autism and that no racial group is more likely to be damaged by vaccines.
But Thompson said that he and other CDC scientists intentionally fudged the results, manipulating the pool of children they analyzed and limiting the proper number of African-American children from participating. The authors limited black children from showing up in the results by excluding babies without a state of Georgia birth certificate.
“It was a mutual decision among the five co-authors,” Dr. Brian Hooker told The Daily Caller. An associate professor at California’s Simpson University, Hooker found out about the deception by secretly taping conversations that he had with Thompson last year. After beginning to talk to Thompson in 2013, he ended up getting Thompson’s information on audio record and disseminated the information in the vaccine-skeptic online community.
“I live close to the Oregon border. I taped the conversations in a hotel room,” Hooker said.
“I didn’t want people to run out and delay vaccination because of this, because it was only one piece of data. But it was the one piece of data that CDC chose to cover up,” Hooker said.

In August 2014 this entire issue reared its head after Rob Schneider—yes the actor—publicly stated that he had evidence showing vaccine fraud. 

And since then, the debate has only gotten much more intense—often repugnant with illogical fallacies presented and truly mean and nasty insults hurled.. And now, enter the possibility of Thompson testifying? I think things are only going to get more intense.


Obama Admin Grants Immunity To CDC Scientist That Fudged Vaccine Report…Whistleblower Plans To Testify Before Congress

This was the scene as a passenger plane with dozens of people on board plunged into a river in Taiwan’s capital of Taipei on Wednesday..

The latest news is that at least 23 are dead, 20 others are missing, and 15 are injured.. the numbers game only tells one part of this. The human impact is tragic—the thoughts of being on this airplane during its final moments are awful to conjure..

And thanks to dashcam video, we can also now see the final moments of the TransAsia flight as it slammed down and took part of the bridge with it. You can see the video here..

During the scene, you can hear the shriek as people in the car witness the airplane soaring into the view and crashing down to the ground in front of them..

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJNAx4BsUtE?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1&origin=https://safe.txmblr.com&wmode=opaque&w=500&h=281]

For me, no matter how many times I see the first few seconds of this video, I get the chills deep down.. 

One comment I saw on a news article concerning this should be repeated here: No matter how good or advanced technology is, an airplane is nothing more than a metal tube filled with human lives. And when these types of accidents occur, they look mighty scary to the human eye..

Why Are Construction Workers The Happiest Employees?

Great article.. and it makes perfect sense when you consider the theory behind it all..

And it also reminds me of the final scene of the movie OFFICE SPACE.. where finally we find the protagonist filled with happiness.

Watch Those K-Cups You’ve Been Trashing Turn Into a Monstrous Problem

Yes.. this was bound to happen..

Sure, the single-serve coffee containers are convenient, but as this parody shows, the tiny pods that work in Keurig machines have become a Godzilla-like creature.

I always think of those monstrous mounds of plastic in the oceans across the planet. And among those: A disastrous amount of stupid little plastic coffee pods that we have bought up for no other better reason than convenience. And all the while, GOOD TASTING coffee is hard to find since we are so hell-bent on buying cheaply made MSG-infused coffee pods..

9 Tips for Picky Eaters

This is a great article. I sure wish my 4-year-old son could read it..

It’s written by Lynn Jaffee and speaks in depth about her picky style of eating when being a child. And how later in life the gift of food became an amazing part of living..

I am having some major troubles in the parenting department.. my son Ayden just won’t try anything new. Dinner time becomes similar to some ancient battle of the Middle Ages, with each us of jousting for the lead.. In the end, my son wins and either doesn’t eat or has some strange dinner of his own.. 

We even tried to ‘you’re not eating anything’ bit. He holds out. He literally holds out and it doesn’t work..

The worst thing that can happen is when he announces, out of no where, that he suddenly does not want to eat a certain food anymore—obviously he gets tired of the same stuff.. And then the crisis occurs.. we are eliminating more foods off of his diet than gaining.

He is missing a world of tastes.. he has helped me cook, doesn’t mind touching things, but when it comes to actually trying stuff, he throws himself into near convulsions of fear.

Any advice parents among us?

FLASHBACK 2014: Merck Has Some Explaining To Do Over Its MMR Vaccine Claims

FLASHBACK 2014: Merck Has Some Explaining To Do Over Its MMR Vaccine Claims

GET PAID TO EXCRETE

If you live near OpenBiome’s lab in Massachusetts, you can earn up to $13,000 extra a year to donate your fecal matter. Not a bad gig, and with the Seahawks loss in the Superbowl, perhaps the next logical for Doug Baldwin.


14 things that may not exist in 2020

I think the list is a presumptuous. What is missing, though? JOBS.



14 things that may not exist in 2020

SOLD!

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY house quickly snapped off the market for under $800,000// The house is gorgeous and, photos from inside show an even dreamier place to live. And the story is worthy of a flashback.. don’t forget, whoever is the proud owner of the humble abode, Oren Peli claimed he chose the house after real paranormal activity took place prior to making his first film.. At that time, Peli said when he moved into then house, weird things continuously happened there. And that’s what gave him the inspiration to make the movie.. 

The CBS8 2009 story also quoted a pool cleaner who visits the house saying, “We try to not pay attention. We just do our job and we are in there and we are out. It’s really weird.” The reporter for CBS8 wrote this about the house itself: “Although no one was home, a faint banging was heard coming from the house.” 

 It is always difficult to tell fact from fiction.. other famous houses from horror exist, like the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET HOUSE that was purchased in 2013 (and it’s a beautiful clean and modern non scary place) .. and the AMITYVILLE HORROR location, which still attracts many and is constantly being sold and resold..


As far as the PARANORMAL ACTIVITY house, new owners can cleanse it of spirits and bring goodness between the four walls. Or… let the oddities occur and let pool cleaners continue to be scared off by ‘weird’ bangs from inside.. So whoever buys it? Maybe you’ll have to clean the pool yourself.. and in the luxurious life of the rich and famous, that’s the truly scary thing..


Who would Jesus have rooted for? A Church in Washington got so into the Superbowl frenzy that it decorated its usually holy altar for the big game this past Sunday. That caused at least one Church blogger to snap out and, in my opinion, fairly so..


Randy Quaid attacks Rupert Murdoch in what may be the strangest YouTube video from a celebrity. Ever.. During the epic rant, his wife is on the bed in a bikini wearing sunglasses.. he refers to CHRISTMAS VACATION and Warner Bros stealing his house and the NEW YORK POST smearing him, and also complains of false arrests.. 

Sadly YouTube has just removed the video for a violation of their terms of service.. but I saw it before they did.

 I don’t think he blinked even once during this video.. But be warned, the video is not safe for work or after dinner. 

At the end, Quaid has his wife put on a RUPERT MURDOCH while he either simulates or REALLY has sex with her while speaking about police media corruption.

Our modern world..

Pictures published on ISIS’ official al Furqan media site apparently show Jordanian military pilot Moaz al-Kassasbeh being burned alive while confined in a cage.

How to live in ISIS land

The cost of leaving the Islamic State: Jail. Or death. That is the dark and stark reality of life under the merciless regime.. the AP details the facts in a dispatch from Tunisia about a man who left Syria and now is fearful for his life.. 

The AP reports: 

“Now he chain-smokes as he describes the indiscriminate killing, the abuse of female recruits, the discomfort of a life where meals were little more than bread and cheese or oil. He recounts the knife held to his throat by fellow fighters who demanded he recite a particular Quranic verse on Islamic warfare to prove himself.“

VACCINE SEASON

Vaccines are suddenly becoming a campaign 2016 issue.. Rand Paul and Chris Christie both suggested that parents could choose to vaccinate. Others disagree vehemently.. Hillary Clinton stepped into the fray with a #vaccineswork Tweet. 

 President Obama has utilized his weekly radio address (yes they still happen) and other appearances, like his beer-swigging pre-superbowl interview, to advise parents to choose vaccines over not. But Rand Paul, the famed anti-establishment eye doctor who is not a Senator and vying for the highest office in the land, says that vaccines have dangers.. Paul said they they can cause profound mental disorders.. the Paul comments raised some eyebrows, and have others in the anti-vaccine world applauding.. you can see his unusually combative interview here on CNBC.. the interview was set to be about financial issues but it took a controversial turn immediately..

 Paul says that ultimately vaccines are a good idea but he had his ‘staggered’ over several months.. When the interview turned back to stocks and economics the banter between the host and Paul seemingly went even more downhill..

The piles keep getting higher

The PARANORMAL ACTIVITY house is up for sale.. $749,000 on the market.


A New York pastor is making news.. he says that Justin Bieber is transgender and regrets ‘cutting off’ his breasts.. But before you take it seriously, know this: This is the same pastor who claimed Vlad Putin will ‘out’ Obama as gay and that Mr Manning has previously alleged that Vladimir Putin will ‘out’ Barack Obama as gay, and that Starbucks flavors coffees with the semen of sodomites.. Drink up Bieber fans.


Facebook and all its dangers considered

A website argues the case of why you and your loved ones should get off of Facebook now.. it’s a good read.

 I am on Facebook, I also have a fan page for my other website on Facebook with over 100 followers at this time. 

Am I worried about their terms of service? Always. Am I horrified but how Facebook destroys the humanity of people? yes.. but there are cautious ways to come at the social network. 

 I think more than anything else: The fact they read private message is alarming. And they do. The argument on the tech site is convincing.. read it and judge for yourself. Act accordingly. If you stay on Facebook, be smart and don’t think just because you have ‘nothing to hide’ and the prying eyes of the technocracy don’t destroy you anyway..

Debbie downer bowl

I am surprised with how ‘down’ all of these Super bowl commercial are..



The Nationwide child death ad seems to have upset the entire nation.. Along with lots of tearful and somber ads of dads crying and dogs running..
This year we are being hit hard with emotions.. Advertisers a seemingly have abandoned all forms of humor and replaced it down doldrums and a mood slump..



Katy Perry lit up halftime with color and craziness, but the new ad order of sadness was on full display..



Why all the dismay?
Why all of the melancholy blues?
Touchdown..
Field goal.
Smiles you’ll lose..
It’s the way to sell, to tear at your heart..
Advertisers have learned a new way.. Just remind people of how much life can often suck. And they will buy.
And cry..
Tears have filled empty nacho plates this Super Bowl Sunday..



Nationwide is not on our side..

Did Nationwide Insurance Just Air The Darkest Super Bowl Ad Ever

The theme of this year’s ads are dark and depressing, emotional and upsetting.. The Nationwide commercial seemingly hit the biggest nerve..
