That moment of disappointment

musingsinhtx:



When you turn on the scifi channel and see “Friday the 13th” followed by “A Nightmare on Elm Street” and after being psyched for an 80s slasher fest find out they’re the remakes.



MY GOD.. I agree with this 10000%

'American Sniper' Makes Eastwood's Friday With $30.5M, Can It Hit $80M By Monday?

I haven’t seen the movie..quite frankly didn’t even read reviews.


But one friend posted this on Facebook tonight:



The silence coming out of the theater after seeing American Sniper spoke louder than any critique of the movie. Wow is only word to explain it.



I suppose a number of people are being deeply affected by this film..

The bizarre ESP experiments conducted on aboriginal children without parental consent


This Washington POST story penned by Abby Phillip is a must read.. The aboriginal children in Canada were subjected to so much misery and torture—kids as young as three being separated from their families and taken into a cruel life of bondage a wards of the state..


But the latest news we see here is a little more on the odd side.. Phillip reports,



A recently uncovered experiment reveals the depths of the access given to so-called researchers seeking to find evidence that aboriginal children, by dint of their race, had extrasensory perception, also known as ESP, or a “sixth sense.”


Fifty children at the Indian Residential School in Brandon, Manitoba, became the subjects of a series of tests that sought to establish a new measure for identifying ESP and also to find evidence of supernatural abilities of “primitive” people.



In the end, there does not appear to be any harm suffered by the children—except unless you consider that they happily and willing participated in them surveys because they’d get candy as a reward, candy for their starving stomachs..


But the study also offered nothing worthwhile—the results of the ESP was no better than just the chance guesses kids can make..


While this specific study took place in 1940, I think a bigger question is what else occurred that we do not know..


And lest we forget, these schools—run  by churches but funded by the government—had more than 150,000 total kids in throughout time and were closed in 1996. That’s in most of our lifetimes—1996 was not ancient history..


Phillip goes on to report,



“The mortality rates of these schools were vastly higher than the rest of Canada,” Mosby said. “This comes back to the dehumanizing elements of residential schools in Canada. The entire purpose of them was to destroy indigenous ways of life.”


Linklater, who unearthed the study, forwarded it to Mosby because the researcher had previously examined other experiments conducted on aboriginal children during that time period.


“There’s no parental consent, there’s no research studies that would have been ethical by our standards today, and these kids were exploited,” Linklater told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. “I don’t mean to say this to inspire white guilt, I’m using this as a tool for change.”



In 2008, Canada said sorry..
As rightfully so.


I think as time goes on and those who suffered—children of course, as always—we will learn even more about the tests far worse than this ESP bizarreity.  Much darker things most likely occurred..

A Taiwanese man has died after a three-day gaming binge at an internet cafe in the island's south, the second such case this year. The 32-year-old, identified by his family name Hsieh, was found slumped in his chair in the cafe in Kaohsiung city.

…til you drop.
And he did..


32 years young?
Did anyone know chronic gaming could be so deadly?

Connecticut officials coordinate earthquake preparation


The situation is confusing and challenging—a place that has not shaken in centuries is constantly now moving..


Of course nothing large enough to be earth shattering or teeth chattering has happened at this point, officials must be anxious.. Residents who have homes not built to withstand large shakes must be equally upset about the daily earthquakes that are occurring.


Safe places are now being thought up.. disaster plans.. family meet up points, and ways to get in touch with loved ones should something bigger even occur.


Scientists are still attempting to state exactly why is happening and why.. It has been challenging . The New York TIMES reports it this way :



Connecticut sat in the middle of this massive body of land. Then, about 200 million years after Pangea was formed, it began pulling apart. As the world began to take the shape, tectonic plates were colliding and breaking apart with tremendous force, creating huge faults. One of those faults — extending from near New Haven north to Keene, N.H. — helped create the Connecticut Valley. Although that fault has been inactive for 140 million years, residual stresses still exist and can set off earthquakes.


Since 1980, there have been swarms of several hundreds of earthquakes in and around Moodus, and scientists believe the Indian name was the result of the small tremors that would shake the lands.


But those quakes were mostly only detectable by machines. Not so the most recent swarm.


Dino Chrisovechotis said that he lived through earthquakes as a child in Greece but that his neighbors could use some basic information.


“Nobody here knows anything about earthquakes,” said Mr. Chrisovechotis, standing in Gus’s Pub & Pizzarama in Plainfield, the restaurant of which he is a co-owner. “It’s crazy.”



Just yesterday, a larger earthquake struck on the NE edge of the craton in Canada..

Pretty clever..

Lots of Men Don’t Think Rape Is Rape


And more



Almost a third of the men (31.7 percent) said that in a consequence-free situation, they’d force a woman to have sexual intercourse, while 13.6 percent said they would rape a woman. Setting aside the fact that it’s terrifying that a full third of a random group of college men will admit to this, the 20-point divide is still weird, even if it does reflect what’s been observed in previous research: At the end of the day, after all, the two groups are saying the exact same thing.




Lots of Men Don’t Think Rape Is Rape

Welcome to 2015. Murder and mayhem are already here.


There are stunning satellite images being revealed of just how horrid of a situation Boko Haram has created in the Nigerian towns of Baga and Doran Baga..  The images show before and after photographs taken, and have been released by Amnesty International in their quest for public consumption of the potential horrors that may have been committed on innocent people in both locations.


The images were taken January 2 and then the 7th. Days later, those same towns, if you look closely, have been wiped off the map..


There have been outcries of horror for days now with people accusing militants of killing up to 2000 civilians in their latest route through Nigeria.. If these images are accurate and true, entire villages have been gutted with homes, clinics, and schools being burnt to the ground..


As many as 3,700 structures may have been eradicated..  However, it has been clearly difficult to verify the death toll that this misery has created.  But there are disturbing accounts being revealed, such as one Tweeted by Aisha Dabo claiming that a woman was giving birth during the carnage and ‘half of’ the child was out while she was being killed.. 



Dubai residents pass honesty test in YouTube wallet stunt

Dubai may be the best place in the world to drop your wallet. Chances are, according to the very unscientific test conducted here by some people from the UK, you’ll get your money back. 


45 different wallet drop stunts were carried out on various streets in Dubai. Every time, someone returned it to the owner..


I suppose there’d be repercussions for anyone committing such a crime of theft, though, which probably compels the picker-upper to do the good moral deed..


Return a wallet today? Or find a hand tomorrow.

Eat Like An Okinawan & Live Until You're 100

That headline is probably deceptive.. there are a multitude of reasons, along with heredity that compels a body to live to a ripe old age. But a few things that are doing right in Okinawa consist of these simple principles: 


  1. Little added sugar

  2. Low fat..

  3. HIGH potassium

  4. Nutrients

  5. Fiber

So eat that way.
You may not live to 100, but you’ll feel better as you approach it .. that’s not medical advice, it’s just common sense..

The prisoners had to be evacuated to a nearby church and kept under guard as the jail burned down.  The prisoners are now being transferred to other facilities as a part of an emergency measure put in place..


Already conspiracy theories are arising in the local area.. ‘they wanted a new prison,’ one wrote on Facebook. The jail was old. But an inside job? No evidence (yet) .. but there is enough evidence to show that this brutal fire needs to be investigated fully..

1998 was clearly a solid year..

News from Columbus Ohio..a substitute teacher is up on felony charges for showing the horror movie THE ABCS OF DEATH to her class!  The COLUMBUS DISPATCH has the full story on Sheila Kearns.. 


The defense attorney for Kearns argued that she had her back to the screen for the film and did not see the graphic sex or murder scenes.. The JURY in the case is going to be made to watch THE ABCS OF DEATH–anyone who has been aware of this film knows what the jury is going to see..  


I have written about the ABCs before.. It’s not my type of horror flick to watch for fun..  BUT.. in fairness and, well, in America.. being fired may be the best result. Being kicked off the rosters in the entire state may be fine, too.


But criminal charges?


Prison time? All for a horror movie that, chances are, was already seen by half of the kids in the high school class rooms where it was being shown?


I think that goes well beyond too far.. But even horror movie fans seem divided on whether her punishment equals her crime.. Read the comments section on this BLOODY DISGUSTING article to get a full flavor of the sentiment among people who love horror but are still divided on whether she should do prison time..

‘UNFRIENDED’ is a horror movie that takes place entirely online. And it is being called deeply disturbing by people who have seen it. Perez Hilton says the scariest thing about the movie is how easily some of it can actually happen to anyone..

Is the core of the earth changing? Causing booms? That is what Linda Moulton Howe is wondering, along with lots of people who have felt the ground under their feet shake lately..

Print reborn!! 3 mil copies of the newest CHARLIE HEBDO magazine have sold out across France.. 2 million more copies are going to be printed to meeting the surge of demand in the nation (AND THE WORLD) for the first paper to be published since the attacks.. Interesting to note, this once had a flailing number of 60,000 prints per issue–and more than half of them were trashed due to the lack of interest. From 60,000 from 5 million.. Math tells me that is over an 8000% increase..


Just as SONY made a bad situation into a positive, perhaps the same is true for CHARLIE HEBDO..

As the NEW YORK TIMES reports, 



Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany was right there next to the president of France on Sunday, marching through the streets of Paris for all the world to see — all the world, that is, except the readers of an ultra-Orthodox newspaper in Israel.


The newspaper, HaMevaser, altered a front-page photograph of the march to remove Ms. Merkel and other female leaders, setting off snickers and satire on social media.


Ultra-Orthodox publications generally avoid pictures of women for reasons of modesty, and their intended audience has been known to scratch women’s faces out of bus advertisements and to bar them from running for public office in their parties. But some people saw the deletions from the Paris photograph as a more serious sin.

CBS News is just one media outlet choosing to show the defiant cover of the new, post-massacre issue of Charlie Hebdo, which features a caricature of the prophet Mohammed shedding a tear under the headline “All Is Forgiven” and holding a sign which says “I Am Charlie.”



They are just one.
And not enough others are..

If you get the chance, listen to this 11 minute episode from NPR about the plight and story of Martin Pistorius

I have so many emotions running through my head about this young man—an amazing story. He was trapped inside his body for years.. Could not move.. his parents taking care of him, in a monotonous way, for 12 years.. and yet he now is able to speak through technology and a computer, he wrote a book about his trapped soul inside this body and his encountering of those silent demons of the mind.


Of course some may say the scariest is having to listen to the BARNEY show for hours a day for years—that is horrific, don’t you think?


From NPR, a highlight worth reading:



He was trapped, with only his thoughts for company. And they weren’t particularly nice thoughts.


"No one will ever show me tenderness. No one will ever love me."


And of course there was no way to escape. He thought, “You are doomed.”


So he figured his only option was to leave his thoughts behind.


That was his first strategy — disengaging his thoughts — and he says he got really good at it.


"You don’t really think about anything," Martin says. "You simply exist. It’s a very dark place to find yourself because, in a sense, you are allowing yourself to vanish."


But occasionally there were things that elicited thoughts he could not ignore.


Like Barney.


"I cannot even express to you how much I hated Barney," Martin says.


Since all the world thought Martin was a vegetable, at the special care center where he spent his days he was often in front of the TV watching reruns of the children’s cartoon hour after hour, day after day.


Then one day, he decided he’d had enough. He wanted to gain some small measure of control over his day. So he figured out how to tell time by how the sun moved across a room. That was the start.


Eventually Martin found a way to reframe even the ugliest thoughts that haunted him. Like when his mother said, “I hope you die.”



I cannot even comprehend the magnitude of a child hearing his own mother tell him that she hopes he dies.. and yet she did because she felt he was living in an awful condition..


Yet he came out of it..
His parents are now emotional about the years they endured their trials and he is almost heroic in his description of outlasting his tribulation.. 


The story is inspiring, and it’s also seemingly one of luck.. not dumb luck, but perhaps a guided sense of purpose type of luck.


I would love to meet Martin and shake his hand and thank him for causing me to stop my own life for a while, slow down, and start re-thinking about a big picture I often forget.. the big picture of humanity.. and more than anything else, the big picture of respecting someone’s dignity and how, no matter what, we all deserve dignity..


This caused me to rethink some stuff and open some old wounds.. I am sure it will you, too, should you take the time to listen and contemplate..


Miracles do happen.
But why?
And why not to all?
Those are those unending questions that make me sleepless at night.


But for Martin, this amazing human, his words and inspiration may lead others to find a way out of their plight as well..

Five small earthquakes were recorded within a 5 1/2-hour span in eastern Connecticut on Monday, including a 3.1-magnitude quake that was felt in parts of Rhode Island and Massachusetts

Now we have five..


Five small earthquakes were recorded within a 5 1/2-hour span in eastern Connecticut on Monday, including a 3.1-magnitude quake that was felt in parts of Rhode Island and Massachusetts

The Twitter account published a list of generals and addresses associated with them, titled "Army General Officer Public Roster (by rank) 2 January 2014// Subsequent posts read, "Pentagon Networks Hacked! China Scenarios" and "Pentagon Networks Hacked. Korean Scenarios."

This is how REUTERS is reporting the news of the day:



We can confirm that the CENTCOM Twitter and YouTube accounts were compromised earlier today. We are taking appropriate measures to address the matter,” Central Command said in a statement.


President Barack Obama is preparing to outline new proposals to protect the United States from cybersecurity threats.


After the hacking, the heading of the Central Command Twitter account showed a figure in a black-and-white headscarf and the words “CyberCaliphate” and “I love you ISIS,” using an acronym for the Islamic State group.



Central Command’s YouTube account featured videos posted by the U.S. military of air strikes on Islamic State targets in Syria and Iraq. It apparently was hacked to add two videos titled “Flames of War ISIS Video” and “O Soldiers of Truth Go Forth.”
