I need some advice. I am going to throw away all my Teflon pans.. I have cast iron. Anyone recommend anything else? Stainless steel?
I know that Teflon has issues —at least if it chips. My Gordon Ramsay pans are actually scratching and chipping. Time to get RID OF THE CANCER RISK..
But what is best?
I use the cast iron for mostly meats or fish..
I need something else to saute.

…people will be people.. During CNN coverage of the terrible mall shooting in Maryland this past weekend, a manager from a jewelry shop actually plugged her store! When CNN got her on air, this is what Judy Hoffman said: "I’m a manager at Fire and Ice at the Columbia Mall, near Nordstrom’s. Fire and Ice is a very unique, fascinating store. We sell jewelry, fossils, a number of different unique things from all over the world" Life is all about sales.. product placements are everywhere. But when an active shooting is happening, it may be the worst of the worst times to advertise your
Most of America seemed to just disregard months of information about the Edward Snowden leaks.. Spying? eh.. surveillance? whattava.. Listening through my phone? Figured.
But..
SPYING ON MY THROUGH ANGRY BIRDS!? What the hell, yo!
It’s true!
According to some earth shattering information being revealed now, Edward Snowden’s leaked documents show that the NSA is spying on people through the popular game ANGRY BIRDS.
Damage control now:
Angry Birds maker Rovio said it had no knowledge of any NSA or GCHQ programs or mechanisms for tapping into its users’ data.
"Rovio doesn’t have any previous knowledge of this matter, and have not been aware of such activity in 3rd party advertising networks," said Saara Bergstrom, Rovio’s VP of marketing and communications. "Nor do we have any involvement with the organizations you mentioned [NSA and GCHQ]."
But the damage is already done. The Black Bomb Bird already struck. But will you delete? Or just keep playing until you finish the game?
Quentin Tarantino has filed a copyright lawsuit against Gawker Media for allegedly disseminating copies of his script, The Hateful Eight. Last week, the famous director was outraged after details about the Western circulated. He was so irate that he told the media that he wouldn’t be making the picture as his next film.
Even more from the HOLLYWOOD REPORTER:
"Gawker Media has made a business of predatory journalism, violating people’s rights to make a buck," says Tarantino’s lawsuit. "This time, they went too far. Rather than merely publishing a news story reporting that Plaintiff’s screenplay may have been circulating in Hollywood without his permission, Gawker Media crossed the journalistic line by promoting itself to the public as the first source to read the entire Screenplay illegally."

Every now and then, mainstream media sources run a story that causes eyebrows to raise.. Today is no different.. The ASSOCIATED PRESS published an article about the New Madrid fault line and how it’s alive and active. The government held a great American ‘shake out’ last year as a practice to what would happen if the New Madrid moved. But regardless of preparations, we are not really quite ready for what would happen. In 1811 and 1812, quakes there actually were felt in New England. Scientists quoted in the AP article now say that a repeat performance of the 1811 and 1812 quakes are possible..
Concerning the report on the USGS now worrying about an active New Madrid fault line, Holly Deyo noted on Standeyo.com:
”This is a 180º turnaround from what USGS scientists stated a decade ago. They said then the New Madrid quake zone was ‘dead’ – no danger. Maybe this explains why FEMA has totally geared up their preps in and around the entire Midwest over the last 2 years.” ..
Yesterday the my other site the HORROR REPORT and this website alerted readers to what it described as 'signs'.. It was of peace doves being let loose by Pope Francis and other birds attacking them. I know, I know.. tin foil hat time. But..Even weirder, and something I did not see until today, not only did a large seagull attack but so did a large black crow..
Now I see SIGNS where I didn’t yesterday..
One comment to the HORROR REPORT about the bird shot: “precursor of what’s to come..Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee”
BUT!
We’re not done with creepy religious themed news yet: A vial of blood has reportedly been stolen from an Italian church.. The blood of Pope John Paul II And this from the IB TIMES in the UK: The blood has been stolen by Satanists in Italy..
Funny enough, all this bird symbolism with Pope Francis made me think back to 2005, shortly before Pope John Paul II died.. he was visited at the balcony of St. Peter’s Square by his own birds, at that time a peace dove.. And now, almost ten years later, peace doves are being attacked in Rome by black crows..
See the signs?
One reason I avoids cruises like they plague: It’s where plagues fester..
I believe it. I think I can. I think we all can.
Just walk into a day care when something is going around!
The Associated Press reports on the story as though it should be read as the last news bit on a 11pm local news, after weather and sports.. A fun little tale about the government testing 100 Americans over the next year to see just what happens when the flu is sent directly into their bodies..
What I wonder, though, is the darker side of this … How many times are experiments done on Americans without knowledge? Sure, I have my tin foil hat appropriately adjusted. But when I see a story like this drop, I always question is they are trying to get something like this more into the mainstream for some reason
But I ask in advance: please stop showing Taylor Swift dancing during every performance.
Is it me or just my Kmart where no one ever shops there but each checkout lane has 90 people angry waiting to pay?
You need to ask yourself.. Do you see signs?
The AP:
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Two white doves that were released by children standing alongside Pope Francis as a peace gesture have been attacked by other birds.
As tens of thousands of people watched in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday, a seagull and a large black crow swept down on the doves right after they were set free from an open window of the Apostolic Palace.
One dove lost some feathers as it broke free from the gull. But the crow pecked repeatedly at the other dove.
It was not clear what happened to the doves as they flew off.
This is an image of workers shoveling the MetLife stadium in East Rutherford New Jersey. It ran in a DAILY MAIL story about how the United States is facing such ungodly cold and snow that even the SUPERBOWL may postponed!
That sounds awfully scary.
What would scare me would be to know you have to shovel an entire stadium even time it snows—and may it look as pretty as possible for an open air Superbowl. Who decided that again….?
If it snows, unless Chris Christie decides to make a snow cone, chances are it’s going to be messy.
I did a long range forecast look on Accuweather for the Superbowl location. At this time, right now, Superbowl Saturday/Sunday calls for cloudy with snow on Saturday and rain and snow on Sunday. Both days 35 degrees. Bearable temperatures by next weekend.. but the mess of a storm may blanket the game..
Kim Jong-un is believed to have ordered the total elimination of his uncle’s biological relatives. The terrifying purge reportedly started straight after Jang Sung-Taeks execution and is to demonstrate the Kim Jong Un’s “decisiveness.”
The PURGE is real.. it’s happening in North Korea.. The ghastly story has been reported by South Korean news agencies.. Reports indicate that some of the murdered resisted, so much so that they were dragged from their residences and shot dead in front of others.
The word on the street in South Korea, as portrayed by South Korean President Park Geun-Hye:
"North Korea is now engaged in a reign of terror while carrying out a massive purge to consolidate the power of Kim Jong-Un”
A spokeswoman for a Texas hospital says it won’t say whether it plans to appeal a judge’s order to take a pregnant brain-dead woman off of life support.
There seem to be a number of these stories lately concerning people who are ‘brain dead.’ This latest one from Texas appears to be especially dreadful in nature. Even if you’re fully in favor of taking persons like this off of life support, the fact that a pregnancy is involved makes it much more difficult.
We also have not heard much about Jahi McMath’s plight in the past few weeks, even since the family asked for privacy and was allowed to find her care somewhere..
These stories are touching and awful. We all hope none of us ever have to personally experience the horrid nature of having a family member filled with life suddenly succumb to a ‘brain dead’ existence.
Even though science discounts most miracles, they have been known to happen.. So here’s hoping they do ..
I am enjoying my .15 seconds of fame..
The other night during the premiere of BROAD CITY on the Comedy Channel, my website was visible for a brief millisecond. It occurs a few minutes into the episode IT’S A WONDERFUL WORLD, where the main star flips from her screen saver of Lil Wayne to the HORRORREPORT.COM, my other website..
I was contacted some time ago by the producers of BROAD CITY, and they asked permission to use the site. I did not hesitate.. I was honored. And now my waiting has come to fruition.
The coolest part of all: Amy Poehler is the executive producer of BROAD CITY… does she read the horror happenings and paranormal reports from around the world on the HORROR REPORT?
As for the show itself, it has been accepted by critics and refreshing and funny. It was called a winner for Comedy Central..
So cheers to the first episode of BROAD CITY! And thanks for the recognition. Hopefully Amy, if you’re reading, you’re enjoying the HORROR REPORT every day..
An exploding star has suddenly appeared in the night sky, dazzling astronomers who haven’t seen a new supernova this close to our solar system in years.
Also amazing to know: It was first discovered by university students in London.
It’s visible in the Northern Hemisphere between the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper. The last greatest view the earth had of this type of event was in 1987..
Very cool stuff in the night sky.

Maybe Chris Christie can threaten the snow and block it with his mighty flubber.
Clyde Lewis asked an interesting and thought provoking question on his radio program, Ground Zero, last night.
By now you may have heard about the nun who gave birth. She was rushed to the hospital with stomach pains, and a bit later was giving birth to a boy that she named Francis.. The nun, who has not been named in any media, plans on keeping the child. All involved with the story seem shocked that she had a child..
Named Francis.
While many have laughed and scoffed at the notion that a woman would not know she was pregnant, consider this, as Clyde Lewis spoke about last night: In recent years, there have been at least 45 self-reported sexless pregnancies. The HUFFINGTON POST, however, does mention that there are pitfalls in ‘self reported’ information.. Can these virgin birth reports truly be trusted when people, themselves, are claiming them?
While the reports may indicate shame or the result of an ultra religious background, it highlights the possibilities of Parthenogenesis—a medical term for asexual reproduction. There have been no valid claims of human beings experiencing asexual reproduction, as a matter of fact, a study proved a South Korean woman claiming it to have been a fraud in 2007.
But what Clyde Lewis was trying to illustrate, more than anything, is the fierce backlash that this nun has experienced online in comparison to Jesus Christ. After all, religious people have been the first to line up and call the nun a whore, slut, and any other derogatory term to describe women who aren’t chaste. But at the same time, those Christians would line up at Sunday mass each week and worship the notion that Mary had a virgin birth that led the world have a savior, Jesus Christ.
Maybe Mary was the true first and last human who experienced parthenogenesis? Or maybe something was lost in translation and ‘virgin’ was really maiden. Christian Doctrine even says that Mary was the perpetual virgin, remaining one even after having Jesus (and probably other children, too) .. The feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary is not about Jesus, but about Mary’s own mother. Christian belief holds the notion that Mary’s mother’s womb was clean of original sin, thus allowing Mary to be born a perpetual virgin and never having to have ‘relations with a man’ to conceive. While there may be other religions besides Catholicism that hold some sort of belief on Mary, the main title given to her is Virgin. It relates to long held beliefs that sex was unclean and that women should not enjoy it..
Fast forward to now.. a nun claiming a virgin birth—perhaps a miracle—and naming the child Francis after the Pope. How strange.. how weird. How miraculous?
The first thing I thought of when I heard the story of the nun was the movie with Demi Moore the SEVENTH SIGN. It didn’t take long for me to also recall that a famed horror movie icon, Freddy Krueger, was born from a nun.. In the story of Fred, Amanda Krueger, his mom, devoted her to life to God as a nun.. Also Robert Englund played Freddy in NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 5, which was named the Dream Child.
We celebrate miracles from bible times. We still hold up traditions from 2000 years ago. We worship Jesus without hard evidence, but ignore Horus. And many still have a concept that Mary did not have sex to get impregnated. But we condemn a nun who claims the same…
I have a Christian friend who literally believes the Bible—yes, she even believes that the earth is 6,000 or so years old and that dinosaurs never lived after the great Noah flood. I asked her about Mary’s virginity.. I told her my theory, that the only way in my head a virgin birth made sense, was if an alien impregnated Mary with artificial sperm. And that Jesus was an alien. I even spiced it up and said that the great flood happened on Mars and Noah flew a space ship to earth. She paused at that one. And then scoffed.
It comes down to faith. I have faith. I believe God is a combination of math, electricity, and energy.
As far as a virgin birth? I believe anything can be possible but perhaps not probable.
But condemning a nun for claiming it but worshiping a woman from ages ago for being credited with it? That part is where I find people to get a little.. well.. hypocritical.
Ahh for Christ’s sake, whoever, give it back.. jackasses
There are times when God makes himself quite evident. This morning, as the sun began shining over the mountain near my home base, I flipped on the TEE VEE only to discover that Justin Bieber was arrested for drag racing—and he failed a DUI test.
NBC NEWS 6 in South Florida has some information on their channel.. He was in a rented Lamborghini when it all went down. Accroding to reports, the Beebs was spotted in different places around Miami in the past few days..
But as things go, and as fate evolves, life grows darker for the manchild. He now finds himself in custody..
Will he still keep up the act? Will he have that deranged tough boy accent? Will he walk hunched over like an ape? Will he laugh, and smile, and wink at the camera as his mug shot is snapped? Or will he became Justin Bieber minus the fame and fortune? Will he snap into the reality that once was pre-stardom? Will he just be Justin?
I think too much programming and self induced mind control has occurred him ever to just be a kid named Justin again. He’s Bieber. With a fever.
In jail.
NOOOOOOOOO!!!! Is nothing scared!?
Even the Wildman!?

It’s going to get miserably cold again. This time it will be colder for a longer period of time.
I already heard the reports that propane gas is going up about $200 a fill.. I burn coal.. haven’t heard about that yet. Nonetheless, when it’s 100 in July we’ll laugh about -5. Maybe.
CNBC: Get ready for the next era in retail, one that will be characterized by far fewer shops and smaller store footprints.
There are three or four malls within a 40 mile square radius of Coal Speaker home base that are practically empty.. Malls try their best to hide empty stores with decoration and advertisements, but there are barren spots. Too many..
I recall those wonderful days of fall, back in the 1980s and 90s when malls were busy.. Internet came and shut it all down.
I know I actively take part in the current day Internet fad. But I will miss stores. I will miss malls. I will miss places like that.
We all will.
It would seem the economy is about to get a big hit this year.. if CNBC is right, a lot of places you shop at (or don’t?) are about to close doors. JC Pennys was first. Who’s next?

So … how long before Google Glass gets banned—or used—in your bedroom?

Mystery solved: Why clocks seem to stop ticking the second you look at them
It turns out that the perception of time passing is as much in our heads as it is a part of reality.
Cool story.
Do people still have analog clocks…??
There’s lot of chaos happening in Kiev.. RT is there with photos and a full report.
What you need to know about this story: There have been three days of fighting between protesters and police.. There seems to be more black smoke billowing over the capitol city of the Ukraine today .. There are also reports that several protesters have now died during the violent clashes.
The New York TIMES provides a bit of background on why all of this suddenly began:
The Ukrainian crisis escalated sharply last week after President Viktor F. Yanukovich signed new laws restricting public assembly and limiting media freedoms. That revived a protest movement that had been fading, as its political leaders were focusing their efforts instead on elections scheduled for next year.
As though Vlad the Impaler Putin doesn’t have enough to worry about with the Sochi games, he’s getting involved with the crisis in Kiev, chiding the European Union for ‘meddling’ in the affairs of the Ukraine. Reuters reports this:
(Reuters) - Russia told European governments on Tuesday to stop meddling in Ukraine’s political crisis and said events could be spinning out of control in Kiev after violence that left vehicles burning in the streets.
Moscow, which sees its fellow former Soviet republic as part of its traditional sphere of influence, has watched nervously as protests against President Viktor Yanukovich’s decision to shun a trade pact with the European Union have turned violent.
Scores of police and demonstrators have been hurt since Yanukovich, who received a multi-billion-dollar bailout package from Moscow after he spurned the EU deal, angered opponents by signing sweeping laws to curb public protests.
RT has a regularly updated minute by minute blog of the happenings..
The government has called the protesters terrorists. The protesters have said they are the ‘people’s council.’ It is beginning to sound and look a lot like THE DARK KNIGHT RISES in Kiev. But there’s no Batman to stop these scenes..
Take that lamestream snoozies.. You got just got smacked down by someone who you probably didn’t even pay …
Nevermore, I guess.
The Edgar Allan Poe toaster has been absent (not absinthe) for a few years.. The tradition is now almost officially being declared dead. And that’s pretty sad..
There seems to be lots of amazing things from the 20th century quickly vanishing here in this new era. And concerning Poe and other famed literary stars, it would appear that appreciation of good writing, storytelling, and literature, is also dying away too..
Guess who’s back!? Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, who was caught on video in a fast food restaurant ranting and being plain out offensive.
Throughout much of the minute-long video, titled “New Video of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford Drunk, Swearing in Jamaican Patois,” Ford attempts to use Jamaican slang, using the word “bumbaclot” — profanity in patois — at least four times.
The mayor admitted he was drinking alcohol. “A little bit, yeah,” he told reporters. He had pledged numerous times he does not drink anymore, after revelations in 2013 of his crack use while in office.
Good to have you back, Mr. Mayor.
Thank God for a snowstorm, I suppose. Timing couldn’t have been better..
The death of film, quite literally.. PARAMOUNT has become the first movie studio to end releasing film prints .. The end of film is set for the the end of this year, 2014.. 120 years of 35mm .. gone.

According to the TMZ report (with photos of the urine stained snow), Bieber’s entourage pulled up in front of people in an afluent neighborhood.. surrounded by his bodyguards, Bieber began to urinate his JB into the snow. At this point it would appear that Justin Bieber is an animal, marking his territory. In the mean time, TMZ is reporting on the treasure trove of drugs found in Bieber’s mansion .. Cops saw the ‘Bob Marley Room’ and all of Beeb’s sizzurp..

SOCHI, Russia (AP) — A shining new $635 million highway on the outskirts of Sochi stands next to a crumbling apartment block with a red “SOS!” banner on its roof.
This is expected, but interesting. Snooze media sources will be informing us of glory and wonder in Sochi for a few weeks.. But we will most likely not hear of what this AP article describes. The crumbling and desperate city of Sochi, being blinded by the bright light of the world’s attention for two weeks.
You want to know who has the money?? 85 people on this planet hold as much money as the entire half of the world.. That story is being reported by the UK GUARDIAN, and it’s amazing to fathom. So much for the 99%, we are not the 99.99999% ..
But just fathom this. 85 people own all of that? 85..
Residents now watching to see how close to their homes it gets..
We posted the breaking news from CNN ealier that U.S. military will have up to two warships and several large transport aircraft on standby under a contingency plan to help evacuate American officials and athletes during the Sochi Olympics if ordered..
Now we see why. The black widows..
WOW.
SIRI is predicting the end of the world.
And get this, I tried the same dates the person in this video did and I got the SAME responses.
It’s freaky.. strange.. bizarre. And explained here on the CULT OF MAC.
They report:
Apple’s personal virtual assistant Siri is a smart cookie, but she’s veered towards the apocalyptic and apocryphal this morning, predicting the opening of the gates of hell on July 27th.
If you ask Siri “What is July 27,” her response is invariably “It’s Sunday, 27 July 2014 (Opening Gates Of Hades).”
Curiously, Siri’s timetable for this imaginary apocalypse changes quite significantly if you reworded the question. Ask her explicitly when the gates of hell are opening, and she’ll tell you that we’ve actually all been living in hell since May 14, 2005.
Both of these, of course, are just funny errors on the part of Wolfram Alpha, the computational engine that drives many of Siri’s queries.
When Siri claims the gates of hades will open next July, she’s actually talking about the Chinese ghost month, which is the 7th month of the lunar year, and which Chinese legend says is accompanied by the opening of both the gates of hell and heaven.
As for Siri saying that we’ve all been living in hell since the gates were thrown 2005, she might be right, but what she’s actually referring to is the opening of Hades, which appears to have been a mid-2000’s bar or club in Gates, New York. It isn’t around anymore.
I really don’t care who explains it.. to hear it myself on my own iPhone is creepy as hell…
George Knapp is like a cat.. he has 8 more lives to go.
Anyone who knows anything about George Knapp will know that he almost died of sepsis—this website was the first to report that weeks ago after learning the exclusive information directly from George Knapp himself.
Last night, he came back to Coast to Coast AM for his Sunday hosting gig, and thank God he did. Most forget what good radio sounded like..
Knapp had Brad Steiger and Williams Birnes as guests to talk about the ‘other’ America and paranormal topics. It was a great show—and a great credit goes to Knapp for returning and explaining why he was absent his hosting duties since November.
George Knapp is a great radio host and deserves as much appreciation as Art Bell.. people who listen to Coast to Coast AM know how lucky listeners are to have him.
Bravo Knapp. Glad you’re back..

Billy Crystal will be the final Jay Leno TONIGHT guest..
Jimmy Fallon already announces his first TONIGHT SHOW guests: Will Smith and U2.. I think the show will be highly rated for a bit. I think that eventually people will move over to Jimmy Kimmel. I just don’t think Fallon has what it takes to engage a national audience like Leno did—and watching modern ‘comedians’ makes me realize just how unfunny they all are..
"We’ve got a war going on here in Harrisburg," said Theodore Rooks, grandfather of 18-year-old Hauson Keeron Baltimore-Greene Jr.
This is a tremendously sad story from the capitol of Pennsylvania.. So much undeeded violence in Harrisburg.
There’s a new mayor in town, too. With a big job.
I hope to hell Harrisburg gets better. It’s a beautiful city with wonderful people—nothing like the violence it is seeing is deserved.
So now it’s up to you, Mr. Papenfuse..
Anyone in the pink or purple need to pay close attention to weather forecasts.. I have checked a few models and I think the pink especially has some localized blizzard potential for tomorrow.. (Tuesday Jan 21 2014)
Here’s the latest warnings and watches: http://www.weather.gov/
Also be aware: Road salt will not be working effectively at the temperatures predicted..
A team of internationally renowned war crimes prosecutors and forensic experts has found “direct evidence” of “systematic torture and killing” by the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, the lawyers on the team say in a new report.
CNN and the UK GUARDIAN has a joint exclusive on this Syrian story.. Here is what you need to know, thus far, about this developing story: There are photos of thousands of dead bodies in Syria. They are purportedly detainees who were killed in Syrian prisons. According to a ‘team of war crime prosecutors’ the photographs show direct evidence of war crimes and would stand up in an international tribunal …
More from CNN on a KEY point:
CNN cannot independently confirm the authenticity of the photographs, documents and testimony referenced in the report, and is relying on the conclusions of the team behind it, which includes international criminal prosecutors, a forensic pathologist, an anthropologist and an expert in digital imaging
CNN said that the images show a gruesome parallel to the Nazi death photos from World War II..
The evidence, we are told from the CNN report, comes from a defector named “Caesar.” He claimed to CNN that he photographed at least 50 bodies a day..
Obviously this is going to become a very quickly developing story. It’s been a while since Obama addressed the nation on Syria and war potentials.. maybe that address will soon have a sequel.
Then again, it is worth noting: We have been told many things in the past about war crimes that never were, such as babies being thrown from incubators in Iraq in the early 1990s. I do believe, however, that there are tremendously horrid war crimes taking place in Syria.
I suppose we will learn more as time ticks on. I still think there is a potential that the United States will enter a war in Syria..
Yea.. this is weird. A chem bomb alert may be overstated, but the video certainly provokes interest in me.. why does this ball of white light explode over San Diego?
The U.S. military will have up to two warships and several large transport aircraft on standby under a contingency plan to help evacuate American officials and athletes during the Sochi Olympics if ordered, a U.S. official with direct knowledge of the plan told CNN Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr.
The official said the State Department would take the lead in organizing and evacuating Americans. The official declined to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the information.
