Steam is coming from Fukushima Unit 3 reactor building — and it was observed multiple times this week
Another majorly important story about Fukushima that really no media organization is paying any mind to..
Here’s one of the latest model runs for this Thursday.. 2014 may begin with a bang on the East Coast—a bang of snow and winter weather. This is a cold storm, too.. the way the arctic air will settle in beforehand would ensure that anything that falls with this scenario is frozen precipitation.
While local forecasters in the area aren’t scaring anyone to grocery stores yet, this may be one of those storms you’ll want to have a stockpile of pizza and beer, or whatever your vice may be. There could be widespread 10-15 inches of snow over the entire area shaded in blue and green..
Stay tuned. This would happen Thursday January 2, 2014, if it all comes together the right way..
What a weird year it’s been …
We started 2013 hating Vlad the impaler.. Midyear it seemed everyone wanted to boycott the Russian Olympics over the LGBT controversy. And now as the year ends, the world seems to be on his side, hoping he can save the 2014 Winter Olympics from terrorism…
The Winter Games are only weeks away, but this weekend Russia started to look like a war zone..
Security is tightening around the nation, especially near the Volograd—the location of where violence took place.
This is something that may not let you sleep easy tonight..
Imagine traveling down the highway at 65, cool wind in your hair. And suddenly your feel like you hit a truck. But you didn’t.. your car just thought you did.
Your car was hacked..
It’s a serious issue, and as this video shows, just a little data on your location may lead your air bags to deploy, your turns to be manipulated, and your safe ride to be hacked …
The north and south poles of the big star that lights our world have officially flipped. The midpoint of the 22 year process has happened.
Feel better about that?
My niece is a nurse.. she recently linked up this article about nursing, by a nurse, on the site OFCOURSEITSABOUTYOU.COM .. The money quote perhaps that best sums up the article as a whole (though you should still read it nonetheless):
Nursing can be rewarding. But nursing is a fucking hard job. If you are afraid of healthcare rationing, you should know it is already happening. Nurses are unable to give everyone the care they need, so patients with smaller problems may not get the same level of care. A nurse may be pressed to only give the minimum amount of care to a patient if she has 5 or more very sick patients. If you don’t want healthcare rationing, talk to your local hospitals about their nurse to patient ratios. Talk to your doctors. If you hear of legislation to support nurse to patient ratios, vote for it. Support it.
Rationing is happening. And that comes from a nurse.
My father recently had a near death ailment.. and though some fine nurses worked through the wee hours of the night, I saw flaws.. Kinks in the armor of health care.
There are some major issues .. systemic problems.
And for an aging population that’s not something comforting..
So bizarre .. will the people who got all fired up about Obama and those Kenya allegations care about Cruzin for a bruzin from Canada?
I can hear it now.. “Mr. Cruz, did you ever or do you now celebrate Boxing Day?”
Among the most important things I see with this: It’s not printed in United States sources. It’s from the UK GAURDIAN.. foreign press seems to be the only place to go anymore for news about what actually happens in the United States and the effect of our foreign policy on other nations.
Heather Linebaugh’s initial paragraph sets the stage for an important story on drones and their use:
Whenever I read comments by politicians defending the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Predator and Reaper program – aka drones – I wish I could ask them some questions. I’d start with: “How many women and children have you seen incinerated by a Hellfire missile?” And: “How many men have you seen crawl across a field, trying to make it to the nearest compound for help while bleeding out from severed legs?” Or even more pointedly: “How many soldiers have you seen die on the side of a road in Afghanistan because our ever-so-accurate UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicle] were unable to detect an IED [improvised explosive device] that awaited their convoy?”
Few of these politicians who so brazenly proclaim the benefits of drones have a real clue of what actually goes on. I, on the other hand, have seen these awful sights first hand.
Be brave and read this entire article.
And after be honest with yourself..
Do you still support drones..?
And it’s 400 miles from the site of the upcoming Winter Olympics in Russia..
According to report, Russia fears more attacks as the Olympics approach
This is the strawberry that was supposed to be dropped in Harrisburg PA on New Years… Things went very wrong and the strawberry fell and shattered when it dropped..
Now the question: Can they build a new one in time to save New Years?
Around 11 p.m. Christmas Eve, people reported hearing a loud “boom” in Toronto, Newmarket, Aurora, Belleville, Richmond Hill, and Sutton. Not only was the boom heard, but it rattled houses, leaving many to believe that a tree had fallen on their rooftop
When in doubt, blame a ‘frost quake.’ And that’s just what is being blamed for these weird sounds..
Though lots of places have been booming since 2012—and there wasn’t always ice storms that accompanied the strange noises..
I dare make them.
