WNEP: "Mystery in Centralia"
I saw some rumblings about this on my Facebook timeline last week. Now it made the big time—WNEP in Northeastern PA..
Someone has tampered with the Centralia time capsule. They also may have stolen it..
My only suggestion would be—if the time capsule is still within—move it somewhere else secure until 2016.. now that this made news it will happen over and over again.

Are hurricanes with female names really deadlier?

Researchers find that hurricanes with female names are more lethal than the ones named after males — but the reason for that is partly cloudy.
The well oiled Obama machine turns into this..
A sputtering and clumsy news event.
It seemingly all started fine.. Everyone was thrilled and enthralled when the United States announced that hostage Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was freed from Taliban control..
Then news trickled out slowly from there..
Initially Republicans voiced concern that the Obama Administration didn’t notify Congress about the hostage exchange before the release—a law signed by the President last year ordered the executive branch to do just that, 30 days of a warning before anyone is released from Gitmo. Then things got worse.. Bergdahl’s own former platoon members say that he abandoned his post and deserted the United States army. Emails from Bowe to his father don’t help. They imply that he came to dislike the United States the mission in Afghanistan..
And then a strange tweet..
And then a White House surprised by how controversial the hostage for prisoners trade had become.. And then the news of who actually was released. We already had a trendy name for them: The Taliban Dream Team.
It has become shocking to see how great campaigners the Obama team was… but how awful they are at having any foresight into the ramifications of this trade..
We apparently do negotiate with terrorists, at least in a sense. We would not be releasing them would we not have been listening to their requests..
And while it’s testament to the Untied States that we strive to never leave anyone behind, this particular soldier’s ‘desertion’ of the United States makes one wonder if he wanted to be left behind in the first place..
Strange times we live in.
Strange circumstances we are in..
Fellow soldiers call Bowe Bergdahl a deserter, not a hero
This story is getting bizarre..
Obama released 5 potential high profile terrorists in order for an American to be freed—someone being labeled a deserter by fellow soldiers .. He may have also lost his ability to speak English.. Even more, if he deserted it would have actually been a crime punishable in the military.
And with all that said, the White House didn’t even follow the law and consult Congress..
This is yet another weird tale of political intrigue.
Following it closely..

A series of fortunate events kept Rendell off the plane that killed seven others.. A little creepy ..

No damage reported after 4.2 quake near the Getty Center in Brentwood
It was shallow and widely felt..
Things seem to be getting ever so close to the bigger event we know is on the way..

N.S.A. Collecting Millions of Faces From Web Images
We already knew the database was extensive.. we already knew they were collecting information. And we already assumed they had our faces.
Our selfies..
Our couplies..
And doublies..
Or whatever elseies we will be coming up withie..
Have we surrendered our privacy for the fleeting moment of vain attention? Or is this just a product of the future being now?
It’s a big big world in a biometric land..
We are strangers in it.
I hope you smile!
You’re on camera.

Brazil's sex trade: How the country's one million prostitutes are preparing for the World Cup
Only a small part of the preps: Prostitutes are taking English lessons.. Limo services being offered.. Apparently one dental student will earn $5000 for giving ‘exclusive attention’ to a German businessman for two weeks.
The INDEPENDENT reports further:
In one zona, Santo stops continually to chat with the younger girls who stand at the doors of their rooms. “Those girls when they start, they are too crazy, they start making too much money. They have sex without condoms and sometimes they get boyfriends inside of here and that’s when they get pregnant. Loads work until just before they have babies. As I say, they get crazy. They also fall in love, but with the wrong guys. They could have all the businessmen and they end up marrying a builder. I’m not discriminating but they should see the prostitutes that marry a rich guy. One married a judge and lives in luxury. Another got pregnant by a guy, married him and now has eight maids in her house.” How many actually attain this particular fantasy is unclear.
What’s love got to do with it?
Money to be made.
The World Cup is there..

The cast of the WONDER YEARS together again—20 years since the show.
Finally.. proof that Paul Pfieffer is NOT Marilyn Manson..
The MPAA squashed this SIN CITY poster because of the semi-visible breast.
Thanks to the Internet we can still see it.

It's a dog eat dog afterlife
I read a somewhat moving article on HUFF PARANORMAL about a man who lost his pet dog.. In death, he sought to find the animal’s spirit.. His method was to use a smoke bomb and camera.. The author of the article is sure that he saw the face of his beloved deceased pet on the foggy image..
Before you laugh and mock, there’s two things to note.. First off, science can explain so much. But there’s a cutoff when science stops.. At least at this point. Logic may say that this image is just smoke within smoke.. For for the believer when faith, it’s something more. And science by no means can explain even a morsel of faith.,
And secondly– perhaps this would be more for pet owners– who didn’t lose an animal and feel the presence of that same beloved pet after death? And even more, I have known a handful of people that claimed per visitation from an afterlife..
In my own circumstance, I fondly remember seeing my dog Newt walk by my door. It was after he died. I had a witness– he saw it but years later now claims he didn’t. And my dog Bailey loudly walked down the stairs in my house. After death. My wife heard that one and I think would still testify that it happened..
Death of a mystery. One that I have made myself willing and ready to investigate .. I crave answers on what happens to our soul when we perish..
In the case of Steve on Huff Paranormal, he thinks his dog is still with him. Or at least visited.
And that’s a nice thing to think…comforting in a sense , even when coupled with the dark mystery that death is..
