The Bethlehem-based news agency Ma’an has cited a Kuwaiti newspaper report Saturday, that US President Barack Obama thwarted an Israeli military attack against Iran's nuclear facilities in 2014 by threatening to shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran. Following Obama's threat, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was reportedly forced to abort the planned Iran attack.
Just when your body thought it was safe, this comes along: Cap’n Crunch and Taco Bell are teaming up for a gooey new dessert. My stomach nearly turned to rot when I read the headline alone..
It's time to start growing up
Vertical farming: The quicker we build these types of locations the better off we will be.. Such as this location in Jackson Wyoming: A vacant lot the size of one tenth an acre is going to be turned into a vertical farm that will produce the food five acres could! Back in December, FAST COMPANY profiled the trend in agriculture with an article about how vertical farming could feed millions. And make millions..
Quite frankly, I don’t care if millions are made, that is what America is all about. What I think is revolutionary is a farm in a controlled environment where pesticides and other big agri killers aren’t needed..
In April 2014, Motley Fool asked if vertical farming could kill Monsanto’s tight grip hold on the industry.. The farms of the future are being built today. Rightfully so.. We need more. I would love to see a vertical farm on every empty lot in the world. Let’s feed this planet healthy food. Real food. Vertically farmed food..
I will get off the soap box now, or else I’ll go off in another wild tangent about the need for a high speed railway across America..

Cheap dung.
The Pope is take a voyage into the deep . he’s being critical of the very thing that keeps society going–the reason some, perhaps, even live! MONEY. And he calls it the ‘devil’s dung’.. Francis condemned the “throwaway culture created by the powers that control the economic and financial policies of the globalized world”.. MORE: “When money becomes an idol, it controls man’s choices,” he added. “It makes him a slave.”..

IT FOLLOWS trailer lays out rules for upcoming horror film.
The movie is highly anticipated.. it’s a modern movie about the dangers of teenage sexual promiscuity. Instead of exchanging bodily fluids that lead to an STD, the couple involved will become victims of a sexually transmitted CURSE.. that follows.
I have read a number of accounts and early spoiler information about this movie–it looks to be one of the freshest and most creative horror movies that we will be getting in 2015.Some have even called it a ‘masterpiece‘!
Reviews like that often don’t happen in the mainstream world for this genre.. The UK INDEPENDENT’s Geoffrey Macnab reviewed the movie with a positive four out of five star conclusion.. Macnab wrote,
“The ingenious new teen horror film It Follows will intrigue, puzzle and trouble audiences by turns.”
And this:
“This may be a horror movie but it has some of the same feel as Larry Clark’s cautionary tales about mixed-up, laidback American kids. It is shot as artfully as Clark’s films and, like them, portrays a self-enclosed teen society in which parents and teachers don’t intrude.”
For many years, any watcher of horror either random or astute would know that films often play on the fears of the youth.. Jason Vorhees killed the immoral, in a sense he was the ultimate champion of religious fervor–slaughtering the promiscuous party animal teens that skipped foreplay and went right to the deed at Camp Crystal Lake.
Perhaps no one saw the irony in his kills, the idea that he was the biblical old testament God reigning judgement down on those who sinned.. This new film seems to keep with that same idea: Sin and sex.
In IT FOLLOWS, the predator and villain can only be seen by those who have been cursed with the sexual relations that spread it.. An keeping with my long held notion that horror movies, in any given time (and professional wrestling), perfectly symbolize the current state of modern pop culture for that generation, Macnab paints a similar picture in his INDEPENDENT review, writing:
“It Follows plays not just on the kids’ ambivalence about their own sexual desires, but also on their disgust at the idea of their parents’ sexual lives. The Freudian elements sit alongside action sequences (a car crashing in a cornfield, an explosive final-reel stand-off at the local swimming pool). This is also a love story of sorts. Paul (Keir Gilchrist) is besotted with Jay. He is just a little too geeky for her to consider as a suitor but he is persistent and loyal. His innocent devotion is in very stark contrast to the depravity that surrounds the teenagers..”
The LAZARUS EFFECT showcases the newfound popularity of reanimation horror.. WIRED’s Jordan Cruccihola examines this premise in an article posted today, saying
“Reanimation horror is not the most populated of sub-genres. We’ve surely had more cabins in the woods, unbeatable super killers, and haunted houses. But reanimation has a special place in our hearts thanks to its scientific roots. Sure, it’s all ridiculous science with little to no connection to reality, but there are still a lot more lab coats than in your standard-issue slasher. And if there’s one thing we wish there were more of in horror flicks, it’s lab coats..”
An the author is dead on right! The LAZARUS EFFECT, being released this weekend for public consumption, has an interesting premise: A group of medical students find a way to bring the dead back to life. It’s a horror classification, but easily travails into the science fiction category as you read more about the idea.. And really, we are living in this world.
This horror encapsulates perfectly our fears about future shock, the advancement of medical technology, and how we are on the verge of some amazing but possibly scary things.. The movie is getting intensely bad reviews, not only from the paid informants in entertainment rags, but also the masses who have already been privileged to see and write about it.
The common thread is that this is a rip-off of FLATLINERS. Maybe that’s true, but it’s also bringing to theaters the concept of the future and how it can be dangerous if in the wrong hands.. there’s a cultural allegory here if you pay attention. A commentary on society..
LAZARUS is not expected to rise to the top of the heap in the movie theaters over the next few days, but it is predicted to do fine for its genre for a winter weekend..
I tend to avoid pop culture.. When the story of ‘the dress’ came up, I figured it was some illumanti ploy to divert our attention from something. But I figured to myself, the pictures of the now famed ‘dress’ are just being manipulated to further cause debate online. I propose this very theory to my wife tonight.. I said, “Tara, the dresses being posted are all different colors.” I figured I was right.. then she asked me, “well what color is the dress,” as she showed me a photo. I said, “Black and blue!” … A fierce debate ensued. Even my four-year-old Ayden got involved—though he said it was purple, I chalked that up to him being much closer than what Tara thought, white and gold..
So 48 hours of trying to avoid this, and now like millions of others in the masses, I am fascinated by the dress debate.
Also even more fascinated that one dress, one little post on a rarely known TUMBLR site, can cause a debate the ENTIRE WORLD gets busy with.. (While the world burns) ..
Coming soon to a future near you: Human head transplants. I don’t think people quite realize the future shock that is about to hit them, the amount of changes that are going to quickly occur, and the medical technology that is going to change the world. Now whether human head transplants go mainstream is anyone’s guess.. I still can’t get the image from the 1990s classic movie (in my mind anyway) MARS ATTACKS out of my head.. It’s coming..
