Sex comes back to haunt Megan Fox
The rollout of the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES is just about set for a momentous culmination.. the movie’s release will come after months —and many hardcore weeks—of Megan Fox headlines. She has cussed out haters, she said she’s sexy, and she dressed in attire that nearly didn’t cover the most sensual places on her body..
But perhaps regret is starting to creep in. Film companies has used her body and her beauty—not her thumbs—for about a decade. Her roles have focused on the beauty and not the brains.. and isn’t that really a shame.
USA TODAY reports this about her real attitude:
Just, please, please, don’t call her a bombshell in front of her kids. Fox, who plays intrepid reporterApril O’Neil in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesreboot opening Friday, cringes visibly when she thinks about her two toddlers, Noah, almost 2, and Bodhi, 5 months, one day being confronted with images of their mother all sexed up.
"I wanted to be a superhero for my children. They can’t really see Transformers, because it’s too sexualized for them to deal with their mother. That’s their mother bent over the car. We don’t need to go there — maybe ever," says Fox, 28, referring to her breakout performance in Michael Bay’s 2007 cinematic explosion.
Michael Bay’s use of Megan’s body in promos ..It has been apparent that TMNT spots are featuring her on purpose in order to attract a potential gender and age group.. And her outfits to the premieres? My oh my.. Little left to an imagination..
Even more sex related news concerning Megan Fox: Apparently, Brian Austin Greene is not having sex with Megan.. We know that because of gossip rags and E!ONLINE reporting it..
It’s bizarre to me—and always has been—to know the secret and sultry sex lives of Hollywood stars. People in grocery store lines have always eaten it up as much as the pastries surely in their grocery carts.. And now with the internet’s cheapening of gossip, now it’s even worse. The paparazzi would love to snap Fox and others in any position they could..
But Megan has kids.
And her body has been used for years..
Up and until now..
Regret perhaps? The uncomfortable fact that eventually her children will see films in which she’s bent overtop of a car with her scantily clad breasts hanging out? You can’t cover kids’ eyes forever.
But it will be ‘mom’ .. and no one wants to look at ‘mom’ ..

Pennsylvania museum says finds 6,500-year-old skeleton in its cellar
It is in the Philadelphia archaeology museum.. The skeleton, 6,500 years young, was in the basement of the building for 85 years.. In storage. Just laying around all this time..
Maybe they should start searching their couches for any other ‘loose change’ or bones.
Pennsylvania museum says finds 6,500-year-old skeleton in its cellar
This happened 40 years ago today.
Philippe Petit left a crowd of thousands breathless as he traversed a wire strung between the Twin Towers. Eschewing a safety harness or a net, the 24-year-old walked and danced across the 130-foot gap between the towers, balanced on a one-inch thick steel cable strung at a height of 110-stories.
In later accounts, Petit traced his inspiration for the performance back to the first time he saw a photo of the Twin Towers. He was at a dentist’s office with a toothache when he came across the image in a magazine. The 18-year-old ripped the photo out and left the office. He spent the next six years planning for the death-defying act.
And now those towers are gone.. remaining are memories of them, and recollections of seeing this amazing feat on that day in August, 1974..

Skeptics In Sierra Leone Doubt Ebola Virus Exists
Sierra Leone is at the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak. But many people there don’t think the virus is real. Others are so frightened by Ebola that they’re afraid to take sick relatives to clinics.
This is fascinating, and a symptom of oppression and constant upheaval in certain places on the continent of Africa..
So many in the hot spot for Ebola don’t think it even exists..While workers, government officials, and military personnel all drive around in cars with loudspeakers—cars that feature images of people looking like zombies, vomiting—some listening are ignoring.. Ignorance is what may be causing the virus to spread faster and further than ever before in recorded history of Ebola.
NPR reports on some of the Ebola deniers:
Opinions are mixed, but there’s a strong dose of Ebola deniers— those who don’t believe the virus exists at all. Zainab Koroma, a street hawker, is adamant it isn’t real.
"I do not believe Ebola exists because none of my family members has been affected by it," she says. "When you get sick of cholera, they say it is Ebola. When your body temperature rises, they say it is Ebola. So I honestly don’t believe Ebola exists. There could be a lot of other diseases killing people."
That’s one of the challenges facing Sierra Leone — trying to convince the nation that “Ebola is real, Ebola is here, and Ebola kills,” as one poster reads. Some people do survive, if they receive medical care early, as soon as they fall sick.
The case of 32-year-old Saudata Koroma transfixed the nation late last month. She was brought to a faded blue government hospital in Freetown, feeling unwell, and was admitted.
"Yes, and we were suspicious that she had Ebola, and she was put in isolation," says Amadu Sesay, the doctor in charge of the hospital. "The tests proved she had Ebola. Prior to the arrival of the test results, the relatives of the patient stormed the facility. They stormed this hospital and took the patient away."
When his staff learned Koroma had Ebola, Sesay says, they had to track her down. But it took some time. “She was put in an ambulance, but unfortunately on the way to [an Ebola clinic in] Kailahun, she died,” he says.
And with that epic account, more infections were spread due to the denial of the disease..
The world may spin their eyes at tales of denials of a deadly virus, but consider some facts: You may live in a nation absent these abuses:
- Harsh conditions and treatment in jails
- Female genital mutilation, forcibly done
- Widespread government corruption
- Rampant discrimination from the government based off of sexual preference
- Child abuse and trafficking, with high officials involved
- Forced child labor
- And this: A civil war that actually killed 25 times as many people as the Kosovo war did.. During wartime, children were often forced into the military and women were raped in brutal attacks.
All of that while the world ignored, and then Sierra Leone was put on the United Nations Human Rights Council in 2012.
So doubt that Ebola exists? Common sense would tell someone it’s real.. But live in a nation where the citizenry has been oppressed by a tyrannical government, and it’s easy to see why disbelief in reality is rampant.

California wildfires temporarily suspend search for aliens
Wildfires raging in Northern California briefly halted the search for extraterrestrial life on Tuesday.
Quite possibly one of the best news headlines ever to appear on CNN..
But the real news is this: For those not aware, tremendous wildfires are burning and raging in California, the home of SETI. A fire was near SETI, about 200 miles north of Sacramento.
CNN goes on to report:
At SETI — which stands for Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence — scientists search the heavens for signs of extraterrestrial life by “listening” with an array of small satellite dishes.
The blaze came within a mile of the facility, located near Hat Creek, California, on both the east and west, according to Shostak.
"The fire on the west had jumped the road, burnt down our favorite lunch place, got within a mile of the telescopes," he said. As the flames got closer, the staff fled to safer ground and shut down the satellites.
"We just lost some search hours," he said. "To expect that E.T. will somehow reach out at this moment, that would be very bizarre."
That is the amazing part.. imagine the irony if this moment, when computers were abandoned and no one was home, ET phoned earth?
Strangers things may have happened. Or not. That we know of.

Wednesday, August 6, 2014
This is quite possibly the best wedding photo ever taken: Adam Biesenthal, the photographer who snapped the picture, told The Huffington Post that Jeff Goldblum and his fiancee attended the wedding of Pamela and Jesse Sargent this past weekend in Toronto…The couple wanted a T.Rex Photoshopped into one of their pictures..
The big porn bust in LA
Another example that the internet is changing everything.. the Los Angeles porn industry is being hit by bad economic times.. it’s fleeing LA.. the number for permits has plummeted 90% in the city when compared to 2 years ago. Only 20 porn permits issued in ’14.. but websites are still hopping with the free stuff posted by users and regular people across the world, those desperate for attention and the desire to be the next online porn star..
Living through weather history.. never fun. Hawaii is bracing for Iselle. And then Julio follows.. that’s right: A double trouble bubble in the Pacific is forming, and two tropical storms are aiming for Hawaii, one after the other.. While some are nervous and preparing, others are undoubtedly preparing surf boards for waves..
EBOLA SUMMER
EBOLA SUMMER: A few days ago, we were told of a person being tested for Ebola at Mount Sinai in New York.. the results of which are not known..But it turns out that that 1 sole patient number may be a bit skewed.. it is now 6–I suspect maybe more–being tested.. And it’s also not just the Big Apple.. Ebola tests are being conducted across the nation, and it would appear that at this point the government is attempting its best to surpress information on where the tests are being conducted.. Numbers are being concealed.. Press reports from Ohio indicate that the suspected patient in that state is negative for the virus.. Meanwhile in the hotspot of the outbreak: Sierra Leona is being ravaged by the disease, troops are being deployed, and doctors are describing a scene of chaos and horror.. One doctor, as quoted in the UK DAILY MAIL, described a frightening appearance of Ebola patients prior to death, saying that patients typically look healthy up until a bit before they succumb .. A possible carrier is also being watched in Wales..
A few questions still revolve around why the two Americans with Ebola got the secret serum.. And while the world is clamoring for a vaccine, some are beginning to question if people should line up in droves to get the yet undone antecdote: Red flags are being raised over the use of experimental Ebola drugs..
Fear and loathing with Ebola: The internet world is abuzz with reports information over Ebola: 90% death rate, vs the more realsitic 60% rate with this outbreak is one item that is constantly being misreported.. And even more: Lola Okolosie writes in the UK GUARDIAN today that “Ebola has infected public discourse with a new xenophobia”.. It’s a summer of fear..
Oh, back to that ‘secret’ serum thing? Maybe we gave the two Ebola patients the antecdote, and then brought them to the CDC for observation to see how effective it is. It is somewhat common sense and really not conspiracy conjecture.. we would probably desire to know if our ‘secret’ cocktail worked..
And this: VOX reports that the Ebola patients in America are the subjects of a science experiment..

12-year-old suspect in playground attack calls 911: ‘I just stabbed someone and I want to die’
This is a truly disturbing story..
A 9-year-old boy was found critically injured..
Kids aren’t alright..
12-year-old suspect in playground attack calls 911: ‘I just stabbed someone and I want to die’
An amazing calorie comparison collection of images.. not to be a food preacher, but these photos teach a thousand lessons on good food health.
Now if only I could get my 3-year-old son to understand…
Now this is amazing.. Scientists captured three supermassive volcanic eruptions on Jupiter’s Moon Io.. They took place in August 2013.
This:
A co-author on the study, Ashley Davies, a volcanologist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), is de Pater’s long-time colleague.
"These new events are in a relatively rare class of eruptions on Io because of their size and astonishingly high thermal emission," Davies said in the release. "The amount of energy being emitted by these eruptions implies lava fountains gushing out of fissures at a very large volume per second, forming lava flows that quickly spread over the surface of Io."
Maybe we are watching the trials and tribulations that earth went through billions of years back, long before we had telescopes able to see anything like what we see here ..

Spanking the gray matter out of our kids
The effects of spanking may include less gray matter in certain areas of the brain that have been linked to depression, addiction and self-control.
I have had some very serious and almost friendship-ending debates over spanking with people.. I do not condone it.. I even get a little queasy when I hear people argue that people have the right to do with their kids what they want in their own homes.. Some even use the Bible to justify their punishments. Then again, lots of people use the Bible and any other religious text to justify anything..
If you’re the spanker, things can escalate too quickly and go too far too fast.. Even those parents with the best of intentions can also direct the punishment with anger—using too much force as a means to get their own vent of frustration as opposed to simply ‘teaching a lesson,’ as proponents say the method of torture punishment is..
Some from aging generations will argue that spanking never hurt them.. they will say that ‘kids these days sometimes need the paddle’ over other means of punishment.. But.. who says that parents aren’t still aggressively engaging in corporal punishment? The CNN story quotes a survey from 2012—not long ago—in which half of the woman in this nation and three quarters of the men think a good ‘hard spanking’ is a good course of action with a child.
Sarah Kovac points out this in her article:
Harsh corporal punishment in the study was defined as at least one spanking a month for more than three years, frequently done with objects such as a belt or paddle. Researchers found children who were regularly spanked had less gray matter in certain areas of the prefrontal cortex that have been linked to depression, addiction and other mental health disorders, the study authors say.
That’s important.. Very important.
Even more important, according to the same research, spanking led children to become more aggressive by the ages of 3 and then 5, and it had the greatest impact on a child by the age of 9.
If you’re still in favor or spanking, or whatever other painful ways to punish another human, think first.. And primarily, even ignoring the scientific evidence to show spanking does some more damage to a brain than it does a rear, think of this: Are you inflicting the pain on your son and daughter to teach them .. or to appease your own ancient instincts to hurt..?
This is a sore subject for me—no pun intended.. I was never spanked.. I was ‘poked’ hard in the shoulder to shut my little kid yapper up now and then.. but never had any painful punishments inflicted on me. All of the kids who I know did have those punishments were either mentally disturbed then, or are now..
Spanking the gray matter out of our kids
Is this the BEST ABC news could do?
In a recent story posted on the ABC NEWS website about the two girls who used Slenderman as an excuse in the stabbing and near-murder of their friend, they opted to use this photo, pictured with this post, of ‘one of the many internet depictions of the fictional character Slender Man.’
The choice of this image is bizarre to me.. First off, while it may an internet depiction, it actually ends up looking much more like a Monty Python skit than a Slender Man example? I have seen a tremendous abundance of Slender Man images all over since this tragic case took place, but this is the first time I have seen the giant big-bellied version of Slender Man..I even Google searched images for “Slender Man costumes” and I found no evidence of this ABC news ‘internet depiction’ .. this really is more like the Big Boned Slender Man.. or even The Fat Bottomed Slender Man.. Perhaps Slender had a few too many buffet trips..
While the image has next to nothing to do with the story, nor the fact that one of the accused girls talks to unicorns and Voldemort,, I just found its use to be peculiar..
Fat Bottom Slenders make the rockin’ world go round.
Tornado takes the Istan by the bul
This is not normal weather for Istanbul: A tornado..
With it came heavy rains and high winds on Saturday..
Some roads were submerged.. firefighters worked through the weekend to pull cars out of water..
The tornado hit after an excessively hot week in the nation..
But though it’s rare, it’s not the first time in very recent memory that Istanbul got hit with a twister..
Back in June, another tornado hit the Eastern part of the nation..
Weather indeed in a changin’…
I watched SHARKNADO 2 last night
While some mock it, and others decry the acting skills, I quite loved it. How can it not be loved.. I certainly will not review it, rate it, or recommend it.. unless you’ve got a well established group of friends who, perhaps a wee bit, are under the influence of some sort of legalized liquid mind changer. Otherwise, you’re forced to see the movie for what it is: A tremendous waste of time.
But that’s why I loved it.
Time was meant to be wasted, especially on a Sunday night when the other real new programming on is HOARDERS..
Tara Reid? Oh my.. but making up for her lack of skills to deliver a solid line even in a joke film: Al Roker and Matt Lauer driving sharp objects through CGI sharks. That cannot be missed..
So watch this at your own peril.. try to make it a group thing. If it’s not.. you’ll wonder why you did what you just did..
This Iselle.. it’s currently a hurricane churning the Pacific Ocean.. it is expected to impact all of the Hawaiian islands later this week—precautions are being made and actions are being taken now .. residents are preparing..
Hopefully forecasters are right at the storm will be downgraded to a tropical storm or even less.. but if that happens, it won’t cut down the rain that is expected to fall..
Any fluctuation with the storm, and different models take hold. A potential hit on the big island can still happen..
Fresh water from Lake Erie..
Not safe to drink.. Not safe to shower. Not even safe to look at..
The residents of Toledo, Ohio, are getting even more horrid news today.. Despite earlier allowances by officials to bathe and shower in water (as featured here) in their city, now they are being warned not to use it to clean their bodies.. this after days of restrictions has 500,000 people scrambling to get fresh water..
Story keeps getting worse..
Hopefully the toxicity of the water allows life to resume soon..
But looking at pictures like this, and others featured in news articles about the Erie algae bloom, the water looks more like the vat of chemicals that made Jack Napier the JOKER in 1989 BATMAN movie..
This is a dramatic scene of Biblical proportion devastation—at a Biblical camp ground in California!
More than 2,500 are stranded .. residents of Oak Glen and Forest Falls in the San Bernardino mountains of the Left Coast state were hit by freak flash floods. Mudslides began to create a hell on earth scene .. now those who are cut off include 500 adults and children at a Christian campground…
The pictures and videos tell a thousands stories.. or in this case, 2500
Here’s one of a dramatic wall of water.
Apparently no ark was handy at the moment..
Prayers will be flowing, undoubtedly, by those stuck by nature..
My local fishwrapper actually informed me of something
I didn’t pay much attention to world events yesterday, so when I actually read the pages of my local newspaper today, I was informed of something monumentally big that I don’t think too many news networks even covered: A shallow 6.1 earthquake in China has killed almost 400.. 1800 injured.. 12,000 homes have been destroyed.
And now, as though God didn’t do enough, torrential rains are slowing down relief efforts, and probably creating a soggy hell on earth for all hit by the earth event..
The biggest impact was in the city of Zhaotong .. Roads and bridges are out.. the military has been sent in.. As more people are being pulled from rubble, it’s expected to have an increased injury and death toll.. once the rains allow rescue workers to get to them, that is..
Until then.. dramatic photos are being taken and published for the world to see.. The one that most affected me was a Chinese soldier rushing a baby to safety.. But how many innocent others are gone..?

Ebola terror at Gatwick as Sierra Leone flight passenger dies
Staff tell of fears as jet from Africa is quarantined after the death of passenger who was ’sweating and vomiting’ before she collapsed
MORE:
The woman, said to be 72, became ill on the gangway after she left a Gambia Bird jet with 128 passengers on board. She died in hospital.
Ebola has killed 256 people in Sierra Leone. A total of 826 have died in West Africa since the outbreak began in February. Tests are now being carried out to see if the woman had disease.
The plane was quarantined as officials desperately tried to trace everyone who had been in contact with the woman.
But before emotions get wild and assumptions get made: This is not yet ruled Ebola related. As a matter of fact, the MIRROR goes on to report—deep in the article—
The passenger was taken to hospital and sadly died.
“In line with standard procedures, tests are being undertaken to determine the cause of death.
“The patient’s symptoms suggest that Ebola is very unlikely but as a precaution this is one of the tests being undertaken.
It is a matter of time, of course, before cases pop up outside of Africa.. The world is too connected and close for that not to occur. It’s just the hope that health officials will calmly take matters into their responsible hands.. and that panic will not ensue.
Like today…when the vomiting 72-year-old led to a world crisis.

Behind Ohio drinking-water ban, a Lake Erie mystery
Phosphorus levels are lower today than they were in 2007, and in 2007 when they were higher the algae bloom being blamed for this water crisis did not exist.. among the reasons, scientists are now speculating, climate change and warmer temperatures.
But the only wrinkle of doubt and logic I will throw in that theory would be how cold all of the Great Lakes were this year, even up until now…

The lady in black.. here and gone
I was perplexed as the mysterious ‘lady in black’ roamed small town America.. news media organizations followed her, Twitter did too.. Facebook posts and pages were dedicated to her. She was on a ‘religious mission,’ she said.. she said she worked for the Pentagon, others claim she did not.
The woman walked cloaked in black with a walking stick.. the frenzy over her appearances got to the point where, on Wednesday, she apparently had enough. Police officers swept her away from a crowd of dozens of people this past week in Winchester, Virginia. And with that, the long national mystery has become even more mysterious..
The police say “she wants to be left alone.” Which is understandable.. As a matter of fact, on her long voyage on foot through the states she went to, she never went to the media or broadcast her perils or plight to the world. Instead, social media was the buzz buzzing over her existence.. And with it came thousands of comments about what she was doing and where she was going.. some even thought she was a sign of dreadful things to come, in the same way that the Mothman did.. Others saw her as a sad person on a special voyage for personal ambitions.. Facebook posts began defending her and demanding others stop mocking her travels..
Religious voyage?
Woman with mental problems?
Those mysteries may remain just that.. as the lady in black vanishes into the night..
Plane Carrying Ebola Patient Stopped in Maine
An American infected with the Ebola virus in West Africa was flown on Saturday to the Atlanta area to receive treatment. But not before the plane carrying the patient made a pit stop in New England.
But no one will be harmed by the stopping of the Ebola patient plane..
The paranoia in my is strong: My first inclination was to immediately remember the peaceful scene presented in the book and TV movie THE STAND.. Maine was the place where Frannie Goldsmith lived with her father. Molly Ringwald in the TV version..
Hope Frannie will be ok.
Plane Carrying Ebola Patient Stopped in Maine
….so this guy, without any protective gear, was sneaking behind walls to take a photo of the Ebola patient arriving in Emory..
Either stupidity.. or perhaps a clear sign that my hunch is right: This was a decoy van for publicity and media attention while the real one was either there already or going in another way..
This is what store shelves in Toleda Ohio look like right now.. organisms in the water.. not a drop to drink. OR boil.
A few reports online say that water is clear out empty in stores 25 miles away from Toledo in Delta, OH.. additionally, people are driving as far as Michigan and Indiana to buy bottled water..
In crisis, people either act like amazing patrons of glory or rabid animals looking for a quick piece of human flesh.. In this Twitter picture, we see a car so weighed down by all the water a woman purchased that her car got stuck..
So the bottled water is gone.. remaining: Propel on the right hand side.. Perrier *(I think)* to the left.. but who drinks that..
