You’re looking at the first picture in a new series I want to sort of kind of start.. ‘I saw you today.’ It will be my artistic rendition of someone I saw today.. Could be someone I know .. Could be a stranger .. Could be a background noise person. Heck chances are it could be you!
Either way this will sort of coincide with my daily doodle ..
So here’s my first. I saw her today.
From the CatholicHerald.co.uk » Can Bad Catholic Music be stopped?
I grew up Catholic and went through Catholic school .. And school masses, even played the piano at a few.
And that’s when church music was good. Had soul. Made you get the tingly feeling that the Old Testament God would go crazy on us at any moment.. Visiting church now is a bit different.. It was interesting to read his perspective from a Catholic site on just how bad Catholic music got..
I say bring back the fiery tunes of yesterday.. The songs that had a cross sound of a polka and a battle March.
Like the song ‘and they know we are Christians by our love,’ which is a type of triumphant March song I can almost picture being sung during the crusades.

Tokyo Transgender Man Found Dead With Face Skinned Off
Nbc news reports this:
“
A transgender man was found dead with his face skinned off, local media reported.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police told NBC News that 38-year-old Yoshi Tsuchida’s body was discovered wrapped in a blanket at his apartment in the Fussa City area on the outskirts of the Japanese capital on Thursday
”
There are several Japanese news sources getting this out to the world but at this time those same sources have not been verified completely ..
Tokyo Transgender Man Found Dead With Face Skinned Off
This is a disturbing story..
I sense mental issue at play or perhaps something more devilish..
At this point, the property’s former resident, a 45-year-old woman, has not been found, but police are questioning several other people..
It was unclear how long the babies had been dead or who, if anyone, was living there at the time of the discovery.
And so far that’s the story.. Sure to change and update as more information becomes known..

New planetary finds hailed as breakthroughs
One of these days everything we have ever known about ‘life’ will change in an instant.. We are just buying time until the great unveiling ..
A part of this time purchase:
Commenting on one of the planets, Brad Tucker, an astronomer from Mount Stromlo Observatory in Canberra, Australia who was not involved in the research, said it “probably gives us the best chance for life outside our solar system right now.”
“One of the goals of astronomy and astrophysics and finding these planets is firstly to really find another Earth,” he added. “And part of the reason of finding another Earth is that we ultimately do want to find life in the universe. It’s a question that weighs on everyone’s mind.
It’s called GJ 1132b.
And it’s the best place to find life –at least known at the current moment..

Warren Faidley – Storm Chasing
NOVEMBER 11, 2015
StormChaser.com Warren Faidley was the first person to pursue severe weather and natural disasters in full-time capacity, as a journalist, consultant, cinematographer, and photographer. He has been labeled as “Americas Top Storm Chaser”
Sounds good to me..
Great article by LUKEW.COM on web design: Placing elements at the top of the screen does not guarantee they are visible because people often scroll right away. So just because something is “above the fold” does not mean it gets noticed.
This is something important to remember when designing a blog.
And just think about it the next time you go to a website.. Chances are you figure the ads are at the top and you quickly scroll right through . Here on Coal Speaker you miss my cartoon mug.. Other than that, content is king. People want content and what is real..
And what is real is so often ignored by web designers just lagging behind the times of modernism.
Which means.. above the fold doesn’t exist.
Great article by LUKEW.COM on web design: Placing elements at the top of the screen does not guarantee they are visible because people often scroll right away. So just because something is “above the fold” does not mean it gets noticed.
There is a secret about Matt Drudge.. He posted this as his headline today along with Twitter messages showcasing his belief that Hillary Clinton wears a wig. The top image shows her with a ravaged look, tired and old.. the perfect hair with smiles below is the most modern Clinton campaigner we have seen in 2015..
The truth is: Matt Drudge is secretly longing for Hillary to win. It would be four to eight years of his brand only becoming more branded.. four to eight years of his ability to utilize the Clintons’ most likely scandals for his endeavors online.
And let’s face it.. Drudge has been running since the mid 90s. IF he chooses to give it up sooner rather than later, what else would be perfect but ending his website at the same time the second term of Hillary completes?
A storybook journalistic ending…

From the AP:
SAN DIEGO (AP) — A former child actor who was the voice of Charlie Brown in beloved “Peanuts” TV specials has pleaded guilty to making criminal threats.
Fifty-nine-year-old Peter Robbins of Oceanside entered pleas Tuesday. He’s facing four years and eight months in prison.
Authorities say Robbins threatened to harm a mobile home park manager and San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore, offering $50,000 to have Gore killed.
Robbins said the threats stem from his bipolar disorder and paranoid schizophrenia.
Two years ago, Robbins pleaded guilty to threatening a former girlfriend and her plastic surgeon.
From age 9 to 13, Robbins was the voice of Charlie Brown in a series of 1960s animated classics, including “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.”
Pretty fascinating article from the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC in its December edition: How the Virgin Mary became the most powerful woman in the world..
Along with the article: A map of the world and every location where the Virgin Mary was spotted or sighted, or where she was said to appear to give a message.. places like Rwanda.. places like
Medjugorje..
People in my local area in Pennsylvania think she even appeared on a garage door in 2007. Which I assume made the map.

A French village priest who smashed a statue of Jesus in his church has blamed the stress and fatigue of his job for an act which shocked his congregation. Jean-Jacques Le Roy, 55, a priest in Plestin-les-Greves in Brittany, shouted out "one less!" as he threw the statue to the ground last Thursday during a visit by a sacred art commission.
The AFP reported that one.
Real stuff..
People are getting weird everywhere.

PLEASE SAVE ME FROM THIS CUP DEBATE
Every year.. it’s something. This year it’s cups. Cups of coffee from Dunkin feature holiday themes.. Starbucks changed to red but eliminated the ‘joy.’ A crisis has begun.. presidential candidates have put off talking about things that matter and delved deep into this issue.. It’s all the rage to be enraged.
From one societal realm to the next, we’re angry. Angry about what we saw online.. angry about television shows. Angry at, yes even this, the cardboard future-pollution we are holding in our life-stained hands..
Atrocious things that mean something are ignored..
Missiles are launching over the West Coast with continuous silent marches towards World War III.. starving people. Children suffering. . endless awful atrocities..
Is this the media paying attention to what we are paying attention to, or diverting us from what needs to be seen? It’s a mystery to me.
Me and my red cup.

so the big reveal was... pseudo-chat?
seriously? this is why @staff took away the ability to comment directly on a post?
how about *not* taking away functionality that i used, and i used it a lot (regardless of what @support told @david about it “rarely being used”). how about instead of degrading the service, perhaps choose to *add* to it instead.
fine. we have this chat thing. great. lovely.
but give us back post replies.
i’m not a change-averse cranky hack. 8.5 years as a tumblr, 20 years as a UX professional, and a lifetime waiting for the community i’ve so happily found here. this is where i’m coming from.
give us back our replies. i enjoy getting them, i enjoy leaving them.
it wasn’t broken.
I concur with this from @notentirely .. It’s a point well made and I could not have said it better myself..
I’m always considering moving this to a self hosted blog.. That just became a higher probability likelihood given the circumstances that the few still cool things about Tumblr are being Yahoo!ed away..
Karl-e-diem! Seize the replies. Make our posts extraordinary again..

TRIDENT AND TRUE: WHAT WAS THAT MISSILE ALL ABOUT ANYWAY?
There have been varied opinions from a lot of sources.. People confused by the recent missile tests—one Saturday night that lit up the sky over the West Coast and another one yesterday during daytime hours, obviously without the fanfare a night test would bring.
The Navy was forced into admitting that they set off a Trident missile for what they labeled a “routine” test. The routine nature of the situation is questionable. Routine? When an entire area around Los Angeles is put into a de facto no fly zone? Routine, when you launch a missile during the evening hours for eyewitnesses to see and become freaked out collectively? Routine? When you launch a missile that typically has a nuclear payload?
An article by Peter Holley in the Washington POST describes what I also wonder (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2015/11/09/california-missile-test-social-media-nightmare-or-exactly-what-the-navy-wanted/) :
Did the Navy think the test would go largely unnoticed by the public? Did officials underestimate social media’s ability to turn a routine event into front-page fodder?
Or was that the plan all along, using the inevitable influence of social media to flex America’s military might for observers in Beijing and Moscow?
The conclusion that Holley makes: It’s complicated..
Some may wonder if this whole thing was something more than a test of military prowess but also a trigger of social media triggering.. How war in the social media era may work.. How an entire city seeing missile strikes could potentially go to Twitter or Facebook and describe it for the masses.. Maybe this was seeing what the implications were when closely associated with densely populated areas. After all, most of the places that see this missile fly into the night sky were cities filled with people out and about for Saturday night social hours..
And what message is being sent? Beyond the borders of America? To China, perhaps. That nation has developed its Navy and is upgrading. We may not have done the same at the pace they have.. but perhaps we’re showing a missile of defiance in the night sky. As the sun sets on America. Perhaps our Navy timed it perfectly at that minute to showcase that the land of the Rising Sun isn’t the world’s leader yet.
Military games across the world.
Sure feels like World War III’s chess pieces are all lining up in the predicted location.

Time Might Be Running Backwards Inside Black Holes
Fun to contemplate. If you can.
Also a reason we may not want to enter a black hole.
Time Might Be Running Backwards Inside Black Holes
I love Toynbee tiles!
I have loved them ever since I first started reading about them a decade ago.. And just this week, I was reminded of how cool they were when I read an ONLY IN YOUR STATE story about them in the city of Philadelphia, in my state of Pennsylvania.. You, too, can read that here.
The author writes this:
You may have spotted them before, or stepped over them without even noticing. About the size of a license plate, they can easily blend in with the storm drains and manhole covers in the streets. These bizarre tiles have been appearing on streets, not only in Pennsylvania, but throughout 26 major American cities and some cities in South America since the first one was spotted in Philadelphia in 1982.
There are also other cities that have the tiles.. Some iof the include this:
TOYNBEE IDEA
IN MOViE `2001
RESURRECT DEAD
ON PLANET JUPITER
Others have political messages.
They are also in Boston, Kansas City, and Washington DC. Some reports indicate Baltimore is included with that.. I have even heard there is one hidden one under some brush in the city of Harrisburg PA. I will feverishly look for that one during my daily grind..
There was a story back in 2013 from a FOX affiliate in Salt Lake City freaked lots of people out with a “mysterious message” appears story.. However the story from FOX 13 also offered up some good history on the Toynbee tiles:
In 2011, a documentary titled “Resurrect Dead” followed the efforts of a group from Philadelphia who attempted to uncover the mystery surrounding the tiles. According to their research, the original Toynbee Tile may have come from a man who believed in the theories of a historian named Arthur Toynbee, who wrote that life could be resurrected.
The first tile that appeared carried a message reading, “Toynbee Idea Movie 2001 Resurrect Dead Plan Jupiter.” The image then began to spread to other states and countries, including Brazil, Argentina and Chile. In many instances, it took on different slogans, as copycat artists began to emerge, much like the one in Salt Lake City.
In 2006, WPVI in Philadelphia had a special report on the Toynbee tiles in that city.. From reporter Matt O’Donnell, a fascinating report that goes into some good detail..
The three filmmakers are Justin Duerr, Colin Smith, and Jon Foy. They run a website called resurrectdead.com, and have been investigating the strange case of the Toynbee tiles for several years now. You may discredit them as true investigators by their looks and youth, but they seem to have done a thorough job so far, and claim they have a prime suspect for the tile-doer.
Duerr says the tiles began appearing sometime between 1983 and 1987. He believes they are constructed out of true linoleum, asphalt, crack filler, glue and tar paper. While there has never been an instance where a tile-maker has been caught, Duerr claims he missed seeing one being placed on a West Philadelphia street by about five minutes (he crossed an intersection, went into a convenience store, and came back out to find a fresh Toynbee tile at the same intersection that wasn’t there before; he says the tile was already affixed to the pavement).
x x x
The amazing time: As time goes on the popularity of these tiles have staying power. They are appearing in more places.. their strange and obscure message is constantly being debated..
Because they are really, really mysterious. Fun. Creepy. Weird. And interesting.
Those descriptions of Toynbee Tiles will never go away..

Creepier than Google Glass? A third eye in the middle of your head
CNET reporting “There’s a camera permanently strapped in the middle of your head. It’s on a headband. The camera has got autofocus and is high-definition.
Whenever you want to take a picture, you tap the headband. You can even post directly to your favorite social medium.”
Someone needs to watch BLACK MIRROR to get a cautionary tale on his before proceeding.. Can’t we see what could go wrong?
In the same light, it’s only natural that this would be the next step in the progression and technological development of humanity.
Now when it gets implanted in your head? Perhaps that’s the moment it gets creepy.

A Tapeworm With Cancer Gave Its Tumors to Someone
From NBCNEWS:
“We were amazed when we found this new type of disease — tapeworms growing inside a person essentially getting cancer that spreads to the person, causing tumors,” said Dr. Atis Muehlenbachs, a pathologist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who helped figure out what happened.
“In January 2013, a 41-year-old man in Medellín, Colombia, presented with fatigue, fever, cough, and weight loss of several months’ duration. He had received a diagnosis of HIV infection in 2006,” Muehlenbachs and colleagues reported in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Blogger: "My vegan diet almost killed me"
This is a pretty misleading article. The vegan who turned against it was only eating 800 calories a day. She had an eating disorder. Not veganism.
However, a balanced diet is fine. Consumption of enough calories and carbs? Also important.

A solar flare briefly disabled radar at Sweden's largest airports on Wednesday causing significant flight delays, the Civil Aviation Authority (LFV) said.

Why It Was Easier to Be Skinny in the 1980s
There’s a meme aimed at Millennial catharsis called “Old Economy Steve.” It’s a series of pictures of a late-70s teenager, who presumably is now a middle-aged man, that mocks some of the messages Millennials say they hear from older generations—and shows why they’re deeply janky. Old Economy Steve graduates and gets a job right away. Old Economy Steve “worked his way through college” because tuition was $400. And so forth.
Chemicals… Doing a body bad one generation at a time.

A MAJOR SOLAR FLARE CAUSING LOW NORTHERN LIGHTS.. AND A PLAN FROM OBAMA?
I have been paying a lot of attention over all of my years on this site blogging and clogging up the networks about solar flares and the like.. See evidence here (http://coalspeaker.com/tagged/solar-flare) ..
Tonight, there is a chance that northern lights will be as low as my state of Pennsylvania.. that’s a big deal. Far down here. It was a major solar flare and storm that obviously caused such an event.
And such an event could be a catastrophe.. And now timing from the Obama Administration couldn’t be more impeccable. A solar flare awareness is evident.. hopefully cool non-flared heads will prevail and this nation will advance beyond 20th century technology and insulate our grid. It would be a stunning achievement for the President–call it a new Dwight Eisenhower interstate system.. it could create jobs and maintain future economy might and security.
A failure?
That could be awful.
As FOX news reports, about the White House plan and obvious dangers:
“The efforts undertaken to achieve the objectives of this strategy will establish a national approach to the security and resilience in the face of our improved understanding of the seriousness of the space-weather risk, and the steps we must take to prepare for it,” Suzanne Spaulding, undersecretary for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s National Protection and Programs Directorate, said Thursday during an event hosted by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) that discussed the new documents.
That risk is indeed serious, many experts say. High-energy solar flares aimed at Earth can affect the operation of orbiting satellites, and the most powerful emissions can even pose a risk to astronauts aboard the International Space Station.
Of even larger concern are coronal mass ejections (CMEs), huge eruptions that send clouds of solar plasma streaking through space at millions of miles per hour. CMEs that hit Earth can spawn intense geomagnetic storms, with the potential to disrupt power grids, satellite navigation and radio communications temporarily.
In March 1989, for example, a strong CME caused a blackout that left 6 million people in the Canadian province of Quebec without power for 9 hours, OSTP Director John Holdren said during Thursday’s event, which was webcast live.
The news just so happens to coincide with a major solar storm.
All of earth should take notice.
Study MAY have found evidence of alternate and parallel universes
It’s all theoretical at this point.. BUT..
This from USA TODAY’s reporting:
While mapping the so-called “cosmic microwave background,” which is the light left over from the early universe, scientist Ranga-Ram Chary found what he called a mysterious glow, the International Business Timesreported.
Chary, a researcher at the European Space Agency’s Planck Space Telescope data center at CalTech, said the glow could be due to matter from a neighboring universe “leaking” into ours, according to New Scientist magazine.
“Our universe may simply be a region within an eternally inflating super-region,” scientist Chary wrote in a recent study in the Astrophysical Journal.
“Many other regions beyond our observable universe would exist with each such region governed by a different set of physical parameters than the ones we have measured for our universe,” Chary wrote in the study.
USA TODAY has a perfect way of dumbing the news down a bit so the average American can read about it.. which in this case is fine to me. It’s beyond my current comprehension. But I promised myself to learn as much about physics as I could before I die. Maybe it’s time now to start learning.
Time slips explained?
Just imagine. An alternate universe bleeding into ours.. How cool. Or scary?
Study MAY have found evidence of alternate and parallel universes
Amazingly high intensity solar activity has led to this potential for the week: The northern lights as low as Pennsylvania .. Amazing .. I’ll be watching from my back yard so as long as the view is good. Right now as I type his the sky is clear and the atmosphere is warm..
A reminder from the sun: We are tiny spokes in the wheel of the universe. And our grid is always in danger.
But until the end, enjoy the beautiful light show coming our way…

3 earthquakes hit Phoenix area; other Arizona cities shaken
More:
The first, a magnitude 3.2 quake, struck at 8:59 p.m. (10:59 p.m. ET), the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The second, a magnitude 4.1 tremor, happened at 11:29 p.m.
The third, a magnitude 4.0 quake, took place at 11:49 p.m.
Several cities in the area felt shaking.
“Ground, walls and bed shook here in South Scottsdale…twice!” Deborah Groseclose tweeted.
More reports across Facebook and Twitter indicated a widespread swath of shaking as a result of the swarm..
There is another swarm still occurring around he west coast .. And with that, my favorite earthquake predictor Dutchsinse is calling for a larger shake in the next 2-6 days..
Be alert and have a plan.

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF A FALLING CHURCH
My article on NIGHT TERROR NEWS about the reign and now fall of a church in the coal region of PA. With a cross above by chance..
THE LIFE AND TIMES OF A FALLING CHURCH
An urban legend come true?
KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. – Police in suburban Philadelphia are investigating Halloween candy reportedly found with “a needle-type item” inside.
The Kennett Square police department said Sunday that such items were reportedly found inside five wrapped Twix bars given to four different children on Halloween night in the Stenning Hills area of the Chester County borough.
Police said the candy and packaging have been submitted for processing and examination and their investigation continues.
Authorities have urged parents to check all candy children are given, and people with candy left over that wasn’t handed out should also check it for possible tampering.
You may not believe it to be true, but movies of the future will feature no acting.. Only robotic performances. Imagine an Oscar award given to the ‘best android’ in cinema? …The future is coming.
From the UK TELEGRAPH, some startling information that should make you question if this all is a good idea or not, this merging of human and machine..
Meet Geminoid F. In many ways, she’s perfect for the movie business. She’s beautiful, engaging, and can carry out a director’s every request on cue.
Time after time, she replicates the same performance without the slightest fluff or fumble, and can work for weeks on end without complaint. You don’t even have to pay her. Just remember to plug her in at night so she doesn’t die on set the next day, and she’ll be fine.
Geminoid F is an android – a robot designed to look and act like a human being (although the one thing she cannot do is walk) – and the first of her kind to co-star in a film. That feels like something of a milestone, considering cinema is full of memorable android characters. But from the seductive “machine-human” Maria in Fritz Lang’s 1927 monolith Metropolis to Star Wars’ C-3PO, Blade Runner’s replicants, and the enigmatic Ava from this year’s Ex Machina, almost all have been played by flesh-and-blood actors in costumes. (The others, including Sonny from the Will Smith blockbuster I, Robot, are digital creations, brought to life with motion capture technology.)
This would appear, in my humble opinion, to simply be a natural progression of how film will evolve.. There will be no stuntmen injured.. there will be no need to re-do a scene, no human emotions that will involve egos or emotions that stop filming.. No tears, only when programmed. And yes, budgets will be adhered to and deadlines met.
We have gone to a CGI world when it comes to movies. I think it’s only natural that we will also progress to a no-acting robotic formula for film..
Androids of tomorrow will not look like androids. They will look a lot like people. And we, as the humans that are left, will most likely buy it all up in the entertainment realm..
Movies..
An escape.
Robotic recreation.
NY POST REPORTS: On Oct. 24, Fallon was stitched up at a hospital in Cambridge, Mass., after falling — and dropping a bottle of Jägermeister — while receiving the Harvard Lampoon’s Elmer Award for Excellence in Humor. “I threw the bottle and then I landed on broken glass,” a bandaged Fallon recapped on his show the following Monday. “There [were] pools of blood everywhere.”
THE NEW YORK POST is hitting at Fallon today with rumors of his impending train wreck.
Fallon has had two strange hand injuries..
From the POST rumor mill:
It’s the party guy’s third injury in four months, and sources say NBC is worried that Fallon’s drinking has turned excessive. And while they’re not doing anything about it — yet — “It’s gone from being a whisper to a chatter,” says one industry insider of Fallon’s over-the-top behavior.
In June, the 41-year-old comedian nearly severed his finger after tripping on a rug at his luxe Gramercy Park pad and catching his wedding ring on a countertop. Prior to that injury he had been out dining and posing with wine-drinking fans at Upper East Side Italian restaurant Scalinatella.
Fame.. Fortune.. the life of luxury. It has happened to better men before Fallon.. and will again after.
Unlike the NY POST, I don’t like watching the famous fall from grace. I hope this event will not occur.. train wrecks aren’t pretty.

Call this a sacrilege, but I am somewhat glad Halloween is over. I am a bit ‘paranormaled’ out .. Perhaps of my own doing.
Perhaps it was that awful DESTINATION AMERICA exorcism show that really got me..
Either way, ghosts and goblins, take a breather.. plenty more paranormal to come–including Christmas, perhaps one of the most culturally paranormal season of them all, even without considering Krampus.

The Tragic, Forgotten History of Zombies
Some fascinating information..
You know zombies well.. But where did the idea of them come from?
Not light reading.
After the Haitian Revolution in 1804 and the end of French colonialism, the zombie became a part of Haiti’s folklore. The myth evolved slightly and was folded into the Voodoo religion, with Haitians believing zombies were corpses reanimated by shamans and voodoo priests. Sorcerers, known as bokor, used their bewitched undead as free labor or to carry out nefarious tasks. This was the post-colonialism zombie, the emblem of a nation haunted by the legacy of slavery and ever wary of its reinstitution. As the UC Irvine professor Amy Wilentz has pointed out in her writing on zombies, on several occasions after the revolution Haiti teetered on the brink of reinstating slavery. The zombies of the Haitian Voodoo religion were a more fractured representation of the anxieties of slavery, mixed as they were with occult trappings of sorcerers and necromancy. Even then, the zombie’s roots in the horrors of slavery were already facing dilution.
And more..
It was in this form—Voodoo bokor and black magic—that the Haitian myth first crossed paths with American culture, in the aforementioned White Zombie.Although the film doesn’t begin to transform the undead in the way that Romero’s films and the subsequent zombie industrial complex would, it’s notable for its introduction of white people as interlopers in the zombie legend. It would take another few decades or so, but eventually the memory of Haiti’s colonialist history and the suffering it wrought—millions of Africans worked into the grave—would be excised from the zombie myth for good.

How the Brits see the America zombie craze
Halloween is over.. Of course for those who read this website, you’ll know that the spirit of Halloween lasts all year regardless of the calendar..
In the light, I was perusing some British fishwrappers and discovered some interesting commentary from Donald Macinnes in the UK INDEPENDENT and some not so kind words about America’s craze with zombies–and how dislike of the British culture being so accepting of it..
From the article,
I first noticed the bloated US obsession with the 31st day of October many years ago, during one of my annual trips to visit my sister in Florida. I tended to travel there in late autumn, mainly because the climate is at its most tolerable then, with the late summer hurricanes having abated and the mosquitos taking a breather from all the raging sucking.
Every year, I got more and more amazed at the scale of the American approach to Halloween. Unlike in this country, where it took a distant back seat to fireworks fight, the Guy Fawkes-free calendar in the US meant Halloween was the be-all-and-end-all – certainly until the next holiday, Thanksgiving, trundled into view in late November.
It’s gets meaner. Really. Written as only a Brit could write,
And things didn’t end with ringing someone’s doorbell. Now kids get a handful of responsibly sourced tofu treats just for turning up, but we had to do something to earn our fun-size Mars bar – maybe sing a song or tell a joke. I would tend to have one joke ready that I would trot out at every door.
And while this incarnation of Halloween may not have swollen the coffers of Tesco or Aldi quite as much, at least we had our dignity. I’m joking, of course.
A big giant ouch.
Of course cruel or not cruel, it does not matter.
As a matter of fact, right now as I write this brief post, my personal Facebook feed is filled with my friends’ photos of their barhopping.. adorned with the most ghoulish of attire, sexualized in nature, they are gratifying themselves at a watering hole of their choice and carelessly drinking the night away. Their makeup is running but that’s the point: It’s the makeup of blood, zombies, and gore.
Yes, America is filled with the nightmares of Elm Streets around the world. But most of those pastimes of Halloween are borrowed. Let’s not forget where bobbing for apples comes from..where Samhain comes from..where all of the customs and traditions come from. Not America. We’re the melting pot. We get them from everywhere else.
Including you Britland.
So don’t let your tea run cold. And we can have our zombies.
After all England.. you have your problems, too.
Vatican exorcists have condemned the celebration of Halloween saying the festival is the equivalent ‘of singing hosannas to the devil'. Rome’s chief exorcist, Gabriel Amorth, has warned of a danger to young people at Halloween, because of the increase in occult activity, which fuels insomnia, mental illness; depression and suicidal thoughts in children, he claims.
While there is lots of the Church can focus on.. they are paying attention to this..
Be back later. I have to try to get my son’s DARTH VADER costume on without ripping.. I will attempt go sing hosanna while I do.

More on the live Blumhouse Periscope Halloween movie..
Apparently for some, it was too hot to handle and too scary to hold on their mobile.
From PC MAG: (note: This was written October 30 during the actual live scope)
Oscar-nominated horror producer Jason Blum, known for films like Insidious and Paranormal activity, is taking his talents to the small screen this Halloween. And, we’re not talking TV — he’s bringing his brand of horror right to your computer, tablet, or smartphone via Periscope. Blum on Thursday night debuted his latest project, a horror film called Fifteen, on Twitter’s live-streaming platform, and it was apparently way too scary for some people.
The film — Periscope’s first-ever live horror event — was briefly taken down after being flagged, but Blum just announced on Twitter that it’s back up for us to enjoy this All Hallow’s Eve.
The 20-minute flick follows a masked serial killer who broadcasts his crimes via the Periscope app. Sounds pretty grisly and awesome, right? You can watch ithere.
Flagged..
People scared.
Too much for a venue where most film themselves talking way too close to their faces.
Love it.

HORROR AND PERISCOPE MERGE!
This is the first LIVE PERISCOPE horror movie.. Blumhouse presents ‘FIFTEEN.’
And this, my friends, is the future of horror.. movies.. streamed live. I hope to theaters though eventually. I still enjoy a larger screen for my frightful delights..
This is how THE VERGE described the short SCARE-I-SCOPE:
What’s most clever about Fifteen is that it blurs the line between fiction and reality by making Periscope a plot device unto itself. In the world of the film, Truman is a serial killer that live streams his crimes, and what we as an audience watch as Fifteen is actually his ninth broadcast; he’s become so notorious in the fictional world, that a radio station in the short actually breaks into its broadcast to inform listeners that he’s begun streaming. Of course, given that it’s all coming from the Periscope account of a prominent movie production company there’s some awkward references to passwords being easy to hack to justify it all, but it’s nevertheless an intriguing (and somewhat disturbing) experiment for horror fans — even if Truman comes off a little hammy at times.

Now could be a fun time to visit the DESTINATION AMERICA Facebook page..
The amount of comments on various threads about last night’s botched live EXORCISM tells the story.. there is anger, “lols” .. all of the rest. Read away and enjoy this Halloween day: https://www.facebook.com/DestinationAmerica/
I still can’t believe in my right mind that the station billed this for a year, plugged it hardcore for months, and for the past 2 weeks, we were even greeted with religious folk who came and said beware watching the show live because you too can conjure demons. Was anything conjured? Anything more than advertisements each and every 5 minutes? It was unabashedly ridiculous.. and I will stop giving it air time on this website now, too.
DESTINATION AMERICA: LIVE EXORCISM. Now joined in the Geraldo Rivero LIVE TOMB UNVEILING annals of broadcast botches..
Today, Halloween, another day when life as we know it could have ended.. changed.. potentially would have been the start of a mass extinction event.. and in another timeline or multiverse, a parallel place, that could be happening.
Luckily here in this timelime, the dead comet with the skull face is narrowing MISSING Earth instead of hitting.
And you read that right. A dead comet. With a skull face. For Halloween and space standards, that mixture can’t get creepier.
From the AFP:
A massive space rock that will shave by Earth on Halloween looks like a dead comet with a skull face, NASA said after gaining a closer look at the spooky space object.
Astronomers initially thought the object was an asteroid when they spotted it in early October, and named it Asteroid 2015 TB145.
But using the US space agency’s Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, experts “have determined that the celestial object is more than likely a dead comet that has shed its volatiles after numerous passes around the sun,” NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory said in a statement late Friday
Scientists have also spotted an eerie skull-like resemblance on the face of the rock, based on radar data from the National Science Foundation’s 305-meter (1,000-foot) Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico.
No danger of hitting earth.
But maybe this should perk us up a bit, if not scare us. We should start getting to know the unfriendly skies more than we do.. we should get to know the threats that lurk. One day, perhaps on a Halloween of the future, a skull faced-dead comet could slam into our lives..
REVIEW: 'Exorcism: Live!' fails to drum up demons
The ST LOUIS dispatch writes the review that I failed to have time to write.. but I concur with the words of Gail Pennington:
“What you are about to witness is a live presentation that may contain graphic and disturbing scenes,” Destination America warned. “Our experts are trained professionals equipped to deal with dangerous situations. Do not attempt this at home. Viewer discretion is advised.”
The only disturbing scenes, though, were cheesy re-creations. And although some viewers, following along on Twitter, reported being frightened, any real tension was quickly diffused by repeated commercial breaks.
Members of the Tennessee Wraith Chasers team from the channel’s “Ghost Asylum,” asked how the “Exorcist” house ranked among “scariest places in America,” declared it “No. 1, especially with demonic activity. We’ve never experienced this level of demonic hopping.”
“We’ve rassled with some demons before, but this is the Devil,” one said.
But the special was all talk and no action. Viewers were asked to believe that Wraith Chasers felt the presence of evil and heard a female voice in the attic. Psychic medium Chip Coffey, who entered the house with a Ouija board for a seance, reported “fast communication” with the spirit world, and a flickering candle flame. He shut the seance down just as it might have become interesting.
There was one personal reason I stuck with the show until the end.. The priest from the ‘Old Catholic Church (not the real Catholic church, FYI) looked a lot like a friend of mine. It was a stunning replica of him, actually.
That enough held my interest. Besides that, I felt bored beyond belief.. there was nothing scary, nothing creepy, and nothing at all entertaining about the show, save a couple of strange wide-eyed one liners from Chip Coffey. Otherwise.. a failure.

Mystery bright spots could be first glimpse of another universe
This could be the beginning of everything strange and bizarre, wonderful and amazing. From the NEW SCIENTIST report,
THE curtain at the edge of the universe may be rippling, hinting that there’s more backstage. Data from the European Space Agency’s Planck telescope could be giving us our first glimpse of another universe, with different physics, bumping up against our own.
That’s the tentative conclusion of an analysis by Ranga-Ram Chary, a researcher at Planck’s US data centre in California. Armed with Planck’s painstaking map of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) – light lingering from the hot, soupy state of the early universe – Chary revealed an eerie glow that could be due to matter from aneighbouring universe leaking into ours.
This sort of collision should be possible, according to modern cosmological theories that suggest the universe we see is just one bubble among many. Such a multiverse may be a consequence of cosmic inflation, the widely accepted idea that the early universe expanded exponentially in the slimmest fraction of a second after the big bang.
Read on if you comprehend..
Some people I speak to about these subjects, particularly those who don’t take well to science ruining certain religious principles they have grown up with, hate the concept of multiple universes. But regardless of our acceptance or not, certain truths still exist.
There have long been many people who have believed in such things. And these strange and spooky things…? Well they come closer to being true..
Amazing times.
Mystery bright spots could be first glimpse of another universe
Destination America: An exorcism
Some are opposed… others are non-believers. Regardless, the live television exorcism set to premiere tonight–Halloween Eve 2015–is making a number of headlines.
The WASHINGTON POST profiled hell night
in an article about the DESTINATION AMERICA live show..
Emily Yahr wrote,
All reality TV producers have to prepare for worst-case scenarios when they air a live event. Jodi Tovay’s worries are a bit more unusual, because she is sending paranormal investigators into a house they believe is infested with demonic spirits.
“The worst-case scenario is that one of these entities will attach to someone,” Tovay said. “It is dangerous.”
Luckily, Tovay says, the physical symptoms are usually obvious when an evil spirit attaches itself to a person: nausea, scratches, superhuman strength. A team of paramedics will be on standby, as will police. She’s ready.
But if you believe that exorcism is real, that demons are not just imaginary devils of our wild antiquated religious imagination, then how can anyone be ready? How could one prepare for the battle against evil. All while the rest of the world watches..
More from the POST report,
Welcome to “Exorcism: Live!” airing at 9 p.m. Friday on Destination America, a cable channel owned by Discovery Communications. The two-hour telecast tasks a clergyman, a psychic and the team from the network’s “Ghost Asylum” series to go into the spooky suburban St. Louis home that inspired “The Exorcist” book and movie. Ghost hunters insist that the house is filled with a dark, sinister energy, and “Exorcism: Live!” is determined to cleanse it.
prepares witnesses to the live event for the story.
Maryland’s famed Roland Doe–the subject of reality who was played by the fictional Linda Blair’s Reagan in THE EXORCIST horror movie–traveled back and forth between the state and St. Louis in the 1940s. The house Doe stayed at in Missouri is the house where Destination America will attempt to propel out demons tonight. Even more, Doe underwent an exorcism on the second floor of the home. The rumor, the legend, the story: The house has been possessed every since then by an evil entity..
The Washington POST story points out something that many have thought of–and something Destination America has bragging rights about:
The most thrilling aspect for Tovay is that this will be live. No one can accuse them of manipulating anything, she said — a criticism often leveled at paranormal shows.
“We can’t fake it on live TV. We can’t fake evidence or pump in sound effects. The drama is unfolding right in front of you,” Tovay said.
But what about the people (okay, lots of people) who believe that this is all completely made up? Long, the clergy member who will accompany the group, is used to that. He just doesn’t have time to worry about it anymore.
“I’m not here to prove that demons exist. I am here to help families who know they do,” Long said.
The St. Louis DISPATCH gave an interior look into the house.
Peeking into the hallways and lighted home, it’s actually remarkably lovely.. Even the aged basement and attic are both well maintained. A visual peer would prove no spirits, no devils, and no darkness besides the normal shadows that would accompany any sundown. The exact opposite of what we are being told by psychics and priests, ghost hunters and television executives.
But some are not so kind.
Pre-reviews are coming in. Without the event able to have taken place yet, we are relying on the mystery that will unfold. VARIETY for one is not impressed..
Columnist Brian Lowry labels the event a stunt.
From his article:
Discovery group president Henry Schleiff, who counts Destination America among the networks he oversees, along with the higher-profile Investigation Discovery, has a bit of P.T. Barnum in him, but he’s much too polite to ever suggest that those people tuning in expecting to see glasses fly around the room might be suckers.
As for the likelihood that “Exorcism Live!” will deliver anything dramatic enough to require steam-cleaning the carpet, he says, “I don’t think we will have Geraldo Rivera and the empty vaults,” referring to the much lampooned but highly rated 1986 special devoted to opening Al Capone’s “secret” vault, which spurred a wave of copycats before the trend cooled. “The people we’re working with really believe in this,” Schleiff adds, noting that much of the public does as well.
Not kind words. There are equally unkind words from other pundits in the online peanut gallery.
The truth is, we don’t know what will happen until tonight. If producers are planning up some trick to ensure we get our money’s worth, then it’s yet to be seen.. Or on the other hand, if reality will prevail and either nothing at all (if that’s your reality) or something strange (if that’s your reality) then we will have something to talk about on Halloween morning.
And if nothing else, Destination America has already won. The buildup has been spectacular–almost a year long, I heard about this first months ago back in the spring time warmth, long before the leaves changed to their vibrant colors of death. The network has conjured up attention from mainstays of media and alternate sources as well. They won. Even if they don’t conjure demons or ghouls..

An Unknown Manmade Object Is Headed for Earth's Atmosphere
“Earlier this month, an object called WT1190F was spotted on a trajectory that will bring it right to Earth. It came here from far beyond the moon, and its hollow nature and cylindrical shape suggest that it’s not an asteroid of meteorite, but human-made. It won’t cause any major problems on the ground, but there’s still something troubling: Astronomers don’t know what the heck it is, or why it’s only now coming up on their radar. ”
But it is almost certainly human made .. Maybe a remnant of an old rocket or the Apollo missions. And soon it will hit the planet earth..

Horrifying times for making Hollywood horror movies?
This article details the apparent lack of interest in Hollywood horror.
The article is right..
The newest PARANORMAL ACTIVITY flick is a sure sign of the big budget failures..
But there’s hope. And it’s not Hollywood. Independent horror makers (and all genres for that matter) are sorting things out and spicing things up far stronger than the known actors guild and pious studios ..
There’s hope.
Just look beyond what’s spoon fed and find your own meal..

Sugar Is Definitely Toxic, a New Study Says
First meat and cancer.. Hot dogs and human DNA.. And. Now the sacred cow and holy grail of Halloween buckets across the world: Sugary candy..
From TIME:
“
But proving that the rise of the chronic diseases was actually linked to higher sugar consumption is a challenge. Dr. Robert Lustig, from the department of pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco, who has made a name for himself publishing books and research addressing the question of sugar’s effects on the body, wanted clearer answers. Now, in a paper published Tuesday, he and his colleagues believe they have come up with the definitive evidence that sugar, as Lustig says, “is toxic.”
”
Of course this isn’t the first time sugar has made the don’t eat list.. Katie Couric gave us a sugar free challenge a year ago.
But this week the war on food, or at least food-lite, is evident..
Go veg.

A mysterious chunk of space debris will hit Earth off the coast of Sri Lanka on November 13. Scientists have no clear idea what it is, other than that it is likely artificial in origin, and have dubbed the object WT1190F.
MORE..
“It’s a lost piece of space history that’s come back to haunt us,” Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, told Nature.
Detected by the Catalina Sky Survey, an observation lab at the University of Tucson, the alleged piece of space debris initially puzzled observers. But astronomers then went back through the lab’s past images from telescopes, and noticed that it had been present for quite a while.
BUT WHAT!
What could it be?
November 13.. some lucky or unlucky water (not land) will find out near the coast of Sri Lanka..

WAR! Industry rebels ahead of WHO report declaring red and processed meats ‘cause cancer’ - including sausages and bacon
The food war is about to get mean..
A WHO report is going to label certain processed meats to be as bad as smoking..
The food industry is fighting back early.
While industry groups are preparing for a damaging blow to consumer confidence as a result, The North American Meat Institute (Nami) has accused the IARC of “dramatic and alarmist over-reach,” CNBC reported.
Nami president Barry Carpenter said: “Red and processed meats are among 940 substances reviewed by IARC found to pose some level of theoretical ‘hazard’.
“Only one substance, a chemical in yoga pants, has been declared by IARC not to cause cancer,” he claimed.
Yoga pants.
Meat.
And the food industry:
It’s about to get mean.
WAR! Industry rebels ahead of WHO report declaring red and processed meats ‘cause cancer’ - including sausages and bacon
Before you take another bite if that hot dog, you may want to read this.
A shock report is making cravers of the highly unhealthy “food” like product think twice: There are reports that HUMAN DNA is being found in the meat.
The source of this: A real and valid group, quoted by actual news agencies..
You are what you eat. Perhaps to the extreme in the case of hot dogs..
MORE:
Clear Foods, which “uses genomic technology to analyze the world’s foods at a molecular level, ingredient by ingredient,” released a report recently that it said was designed to look at the accuracy of the content labels of several major hot dog brands.A new report, however, adds extra meaning to the phrase “you don’t want to know how the sausage gets made.”
The company analyzed 345 hot dog and sausage products from 75 brands and 10 retailers, and said they found “human DNA in 2% of the samples, and in 2/3rds of the vegetarian samples.”
Additionally, 10 percent of all vegetarian products appeared to contain meat.
Despite some of the shocking findings, Clear Foods reports “there are a number of hot dog manufacturers, large and small, that are producing high-quality hot dogs with integrity.”
Butterball, McCormick, Eckrich and Hebrew National were among the major brands that received top scores from Clear Foods. Gardein was the top specialty or regional brand.
That’s fine. They can produce the higher quality.
You know.. I think I will just continue by 20-year-tradition (I admit I ate them during the early years) and avoid this ‘food.’ And also reinforce my son’s 4 and a half year tradition of not eating them as well.
Human DNA, eh?
Nice.
People wish they could be Oscar Meier wieners, I guess somehow we got the chance.
