People’s conscious awareness of their speech often comes after they’ve spoken, not before.
Good read from the journal NATURE..
People can actually be tricked into thinking they said something that they did not, and it’s only when they are faced with their actual words that they realize how much their mind can be deceptive ..
Your mind indeed can play tricks on you.
There is also one other thing—something not mentioned in this study. But did you ever notice how you think you sound different than you actually do, and then you hear your voice on some sort of audio and wince at your own sound? So not only do we not know what we are saying but we also think we sound a lot different than we do.. and when we realize our vocal chords don’t give us the Barry White style by instead the Richard Simmons effect, we hang our heads in shame.

Blast from a comedic past.. I still fondly recall watching this segment the first time it appeared on David Letterman’s show in 1996..
Watching this skit again reminded me that I need to transfer all of my 50+ video tapes of old David Letterman shows to DVD before they dry rot..
How fast time goes.
I was 16 when I saw this for the first time.. So many years later, Letterman leaving CBS .. and I am feeling old.
But it’s still as funny to me as the first time..
Hundreds of birds flew into a woman’s home
“I think the most horrifying was how they got in and the mess that they were making while they were here because birds are scared and they are pooping.”
But this new bird story seems to be just a little more intense..

Yes, Those were 'Black Ops' helicopters over Florence

For people who love goodness —and dogs— here is a little story about a dying boy and his special bond with a dog named Juno.
Boy, 8, Killed Defending Sister From Rapist: Cops - NBC News
This headline gives us a glimpse into how heartless and disturbing the heart of man can be—but how amazing and innocent children are..
To set the scene: A man approached this 8-year-old boy and his 12-year-old sister.. He began to brutally rape the girl. The boy attempted to defend his sister. And for that he was brutally beaten until he was lifeless—an innocent and heroic young man’s light was extinguished by a disgusting coward hell bent on stealing the goodness of a child..
From NBC NEWS:
Police hunted for the suspect Thursday night. Initially, he was described as a white male with scraggly facial hair. But Dionne Waugh, a spokeswoman for the Richmond police, told NBC News the description was false because the victim was told her family would be harmed if she gave a true description.
With the help of outraged neighbors, police identified a male teenage suspect. He was being medically evaluated Friday with a warrant for his arrest pending.
"The community’s response has been tremendous," Waugh told NBC News. "They played a very important role in gathering information to lead us to this point."
Waugh called the assault and killing grisly and heartbreaking — “probably one of the most tragic cases” she’s ever encountered.
"Every loss of life here is tragic, [but] whenever it’s a case involving juveniles, it’s especially hard for everyone involved, from our detectives to our fire and ambulance personnel, who are often first on scene," she said. "So it’s been a challenge, I think, for a lot of people here."
Some of my readers and friends tell me that I overwhelm them with bad news.. So often that bad news is about children.. Maybe that’s the case. But I get emotional about crimes against children .. I get truly grief stricken often when reading these types of headlines. And they are very real.
For those who would tell me to ignore them.. for those who say to stop reporting on them or talking about them: No.
Because letting your guard down involves ignoring the demons and black hearted heals that walk the crust of this planet.
The man who did this to this girl and boy, even if he repents, would deserve nothing but hatred .. I find his actions beyond loathsome.
And now a family is going to have to come to grips with this crime—no doubt the horror of it will forever live with them ..
An update: POLICE ARE CHARGING A TEEN IN THE DEATH OF THE INNOCENT YOUNG 8-YEAR-OLD..
Boy, 8, Killed Defending Sister From Rapist: Cops - NBC News
With weird disasters and weather calamities making headlines around the world, it should be notable that past events were often even weirder—one such event occurred in 1919.
The ‘Great Molasses Disaster’ in Boston killed 21 people and injured 150.. It was exactly what it sounds like: A molasses flood.
A large molasses storage tank in the city burst on January 15, 1919.. The wave ran through streets at 35 miles per hour..
The aftermath was sticky ..
Men, women, and horses all perished in this bizarre accident.
The cleanup took two weeks.. 300 people.. and 87,000 man hours.
For years after, historical accounts say, hot summer days also featured the smell of molasses..
The youngest death was a ten-year-old and the oldest was 76.. The people ranged from teamsters to the unemployed to homemakers..
More proof that real news is stranger than fiction—and that events of yesteryear are often weirder than those of today.
Over 2,100 dead in Afghan landslide
This is tragic.. The death toll from this landslide is still climbing higher.. I last knew it to be over 300 .. today it steamed upwards in dramatic numbers to 2,100 *as of now* ..
But the other number that is noteworthy besides the rising death toll: Over 4,000 are now homeless.
This story is the second ‘landslide’ story making headlines this week. In the city of Baltimore, a landslide took out an entire street along with very expensive cars. But in the scheme of things, that seems to be child’s play compared to 2000+ people perishing from the natural disaster..
Numbers set to increase .. an obvious story still developing.

Paul Simon dialed 911 during fight--a call that led to the arrest last week of him and his wife, singer Edie Brickell, on disorderly conduct charges
This is a pretty sad story in all ways, don’t you think?

A story of local note
Here in Schuylkill County, where the trees even look sad lately, there is an aura of depression.. an aura of sadness, perhaps the raping of the land by coal barons has finally hit, now that the generations are changing ..
The Schuylkill Mall in Frackville, PA, is a symbol of this.. It stands nearly vacant, a few stores peppered about and maybe a handful of people shopping. A new movie theater with an awesome bar has livened things up. And just when you thought there was hope that the giant mall could survive to die another day, this news comes: A SUBWAY is coming to the mall.
How I loathe Subway and its processed meat.. how I despise that smell of the restaurant, which somehow can stick on your clothing for days.. How i disdain their bread—though they removed the rubber, I suppose.
Subway?
Seriously? This is the best that a dying mall can do?
My idea for this mall—and any other mall across this nation where shopping is going down hill in favor of online retail: Let the people have their malls back.
Rent is too damn high—yes a candidate for office in New York said that, but when it comes to malls, he was right. The rent in malls in too high.. it’s impossible to sustain your dream of having your own business when you get little traffic in a dying mall but still pay through the roof to have it.
So why not this: Lower rent for a year—maybe even do rent-free for six months. Advertise to ANY PERSON IN THE AREA who has a dream about owning their own store and their own business. How about getting a farmer’s market of fresh food once a week? A grand experiment to buy local—imagine the idea of NO BIG CHAIN STORES, and no big chain restaurants ?? Instead fresh and locally made, locally sold, and locally grown.. It would be amazing and cool.
And perhaps reinvigorate malls.. Not only in Frackville PA but everywhere else a dying mall threatens to blight the landscape with a giant vacant shell..
What made Bubba bubble?
Bill Clinton was on Jimmy Kimmel in April. By now, unless you have been living with the grays in a underground alien base, you know that the former President opined about aliens. Kimmel asked specific questions, and Clinton answered that life may be out there..
But what else, besides the chipper back and forth, exists..? What other secrets lurk in Clinton’s brain—those not of the sexual nature, but of the other worldly?
Hansen said that Clinton became defensive, locked his jaw, and looked away from Kimmel during his answer.. Hansen claims these are signs of evasiveness.. Signs that perhaps there is more than meets the eye?
But remember this: Kimmel’s program would have supplied Clinton’s team with the questions prior to the appearance. Bill knew that Roswell was going to be discussed.. So be caught off guard by a truly scripted question is no excuse. Perhaps the limelight of talking about such issues to a giant audience made him apprehensive? Though he lied before to America, this time around the issue wasn’t whether oral sex was infidelity, but something that actually mattered: Is there life, and does the government know anymore about it than they say.
Does Bill Clinton know more..?
Lest we forget, the aliens did back Bill in the 90s..
CDC confirms first U.S. case of MERS virus in Indiana man who traveled to Saudi Arabia
Male health-care worker traveled from Saudi capital to London, Chicago, then Indiana.
MERS is here.
The camel didn’t come.. but it is probably where this Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome came from.
From Saudi Arabia, with a problem..
Health officials are closely watching this story, obviously.. The man who has MERS —the first case in the US of A— is in isolation receiving oxygen in a hospital.
The hospital is in Munster, Indiana.
Munster.. Couldn’t think of a better town to house the first US patient with this troubling disease..

Unfit for Human Consumption: How nearly 9 million pounds of bad meat escaped into the food supply
To say the CNN report is troubling is an understatement..
Here’s the basic information as reported:
CNN exclusive: A meat processing plant in California was buying diseased dairy cows and processing them when government inspectors weren’t there, federal officials tell CNN.
After the cows were killed, employees at Rancho Feeding Corp., based in Petaluma, California, would hide the warning signs of cancer by trimming off diseased parts, using a fake stamp of approval or even replacing the heads of sick cows with ones from healthy animals, the officials say
In case that didn’t settle in, they’d REPLACE THE HEADS OF SICK COWS WITH HEALTHY ONES… read that?
And things like this don’t help either: We also learn that one of the government inspectors – someone responsible for protecting consumers from bad meat – was having a romantic relationship with a plant foreman..
