If you live near OpenBiome’s lab in Massachusetts, you can earn up to $13,000 extra a year to donate your fecal matter. Not a bad gig, and with the Seahawks loss in the Superbowl, perhaps the next logical for Doug Baldwin.

If you live near OpenBiome’s lab in Massachusetts, you can earn up to $13,000 extra a year to donate your fecal matter. Not a bad gig, and with the Seahawks loss in the Superbowl, perhaps the next logical for Doug Baldwin.
I think the list is a presumptuous. What is missing, though? JOBS.
SOLD!
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY house quickly snapped off the market for under $800,000// The house is gorgeous and, photos from inside show an even dreamier place to live. And the story is worthy of a flashback.. don’t forget, whoever is the proud owner of the humble abode, Oren Peli claimed he chose the house after real paranormal activity took place prior to making his first film.. At that time, Peli said when he moved into then house, weird things continuously happened there. And that’s what gave him the inspiration to make the movie..
The CBS8 2009 story also quoted a pool cleaner who visits the house saying, “We try to not pay attention. We just do our job and we are in there and we are out. It’s really weird.” The reporter for CBS8 wrote this about the house itself: “Although no one was home, a faint banging was heard coming from the house.”
It is always difficult to tell fact from fiction.. other famous houses from horror exist, like the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET HOUSE that was purchased in 2013 (and it’s a beautiful clean and modern non scary place) .. and the AMITYVILLE HORROR location, which still attracts many and is constantly being sold and resold..
As far as the PARANORMAL ACTIVITY house, new owners can cleanse it of spirits and bring goodness between the four walls. Or… let the oddities occur and let pool cleaners continue to be scared off by ‘weird’ bangs from inside.. So whoever buys it? Maybe you’ll have to clean the pool yourself.. and in the luxurious life of the rich and famous, that’s the truly scary thing..
Who would Jesus have rooted for? A Church in Washington got so into the Superbowl frenzy that it decorated its usually holy altar for the big game this past Sunday. That caused at least one Church blogger to snap out and, in my opinion, fairly so..
Randy Quaid attacks Rupert Murdoch in what may be the strangest YouTube video from a celebrity. Ever.. During the epic rant, his wife is on the bed in a bikini wearing sunglasses.. he refers to CHRISTMAS VACATION and Warner Bros stealing his house and the NEW YORK POST smearing him, and also complains of false arrests..
Sadly YouTube has just removed the video for a violation of their terms of service.. but I saw it before they did.
I don’t think he blinked even once during this video.. But be warned, the video is not safe for work or after dinner.
At the end, Quaid has his wife put on a RUPERT MURDOCH while he either simulates or REALLY has sex with her while speaking about police media corruption.
Pictures published on ISIS’ official al Furqan media site apparently show Jordanian military pilot Moaz al-Kassasbeh being burned alive while confined in a cage.
The cost of leaving the Islamic State: Jail. Or death. That is the dark and stark reality of life under the merciless regime.. the AP details the facts in a dispatch from Tunisia about a man who left Syria and now is fearful for his life..
The AP reports:
“Now he chain-smokes as he describes the indiscriminate killing, the abuse of female recruits, the discomfort of a life where meals were little more than bread and cheese or oil. He recounts the knife held to his throat by fellow fighters who demanded he recite a particular Quranic verse on Islamic warfare to prove himself.“
Vaccines are suddenly becoming a campaign 2016 issue.. Rand Paul and Chris Christie both suggested that parents could choose to vaccinate. Others disagree vehemently.. Hillary Clinton stepped into the fray with a #vaccineswork Tweet.
President Obama has utilized his weekly radio address (yes they still happen) and other appearances, like his beer-swigging pre-superbowl interview, to advise parents to choose vaccines over not. But Rand Paul, the famed anti-establishment eye doctor who is not a Senator and vying for the highest office in the land, says that vaccines have dangers.. Paul said they they can cause profound mental disorders.. the Paul comments raised some eyebrows, and have others in the anti-vaccine world applauding.. you can see his unusually combative interview here on CNBC.. the interview was set to be about financial issues but it took a controversial turn immediately..
Paul says that ultimately vaccines are a good idea but he had his ‘staggered’ over several months.. When the interview turned back to stocks and economics the banter between the host and Paul seemingly went even more downhill..
A New York pastor is making news.. he says that Justin Bieber is transgender and regrets ‘cutting off’ his breasts.. But before you take it seriously, know this: This is the same pastor who claimed Vlad Putin will ‘out’ Obama as gay and that Mr Manning has previously alleged that Vladimir Putin will ‘out’ Barack Obama as gay, and that Starbucks flavors coffees with the semen of sodomites.. Drink up Bieber fans.
A website argues the case of why you and your loved ones should get off of Facebook now.. it’s a good read.
I am on Facebook, I also have a fan page for my other website on Facebook with over 100 followers at this time.
Am I worried about their terms of service? Always. Am I horrified but how Facebook destroys the humanity of people? yes.. but there are cautious ways to come at the social network.
I think more than anything else: The fact they read private message is alarming. And they do. The argument on the tech site is convincing.. read it and judge for yourself. Act accordingly. If you stay on Facebook, be smart and don’t think just because you have ‘nothing to hide’ and the prying eyes of the technocracy don’t destroy you anyway..
I am surprised with how ‘down’ all of these Super bowl commercial are..
The Nationwide child death ad seems to have upset the entire nation.. Along with lots of tearful and somber ads of dads crying and dogs running..
This year we are being hit hard with emotions.. Advertisers a seemingly have abandoned all forms of humor and replaced it down doldrums and a mood slump..
Katy Perry lit up halftime with color and craziness, but the new ad order of sadness was on full display..
Why all the dismay?
Why all of the melancholy blues?
Touchdown..
Field goal.
Smiles you’ll lose..
It’s the way to sell, to tear at your heart..
Advertisers have learned a new way.. Just remind people of how much life can often suck. And they will buy.
And cry..
Tears have filled empty nacho plates this Super Bowl Sunday..
Nationwide is not on our side..
The theme of this year’s ads are dark and depressing, emotional and upsetting.. The Nationwide commercial seemingly hit the biggest nerve..
Avoid all grocery stores from Chicago to New York City today if you can..
At some point, this is all going to break society and a new way of thinking on economics and business will take shape. Mechatronics will replace four jobs–when few work what will occur to the masses of asses?
I love stories of abandoned places.. this one is right in Pennsylvania. But after looking at the comments section on the story, I get the notion that there is controversy about this.. lots of people seem to believe BIGFOOT scared people out. Others know it was much more of a worldly issue like economics and environment..
But what exists is a creepy slew of photos worthy of a late night creep out session in your dark living room.
The story sort of reminds me of Centralia..
And despite the urban legends, there is nothing paranormal about Centralia. I grew up there, and despite a constant stream of ghost hunters, the story of Centralia is about human failure, and not one of the other-worldly.
Forecasters are NOT playing this up, I sense they don’t want to be named the forecasters who cried wolf after botching up last week’s non blizzard.. but there will be a storm this weekend that is sizable enough to be called a major snowstorm.. The track is clear on this. The Groundhog’s Day storm will extend from Chicago to New York City. Everyone in the path will get between a half foot and a foot of snow or more.. And then after it, REALLY cold air comes down from Canada..
That’s fine and dandy.. BUT.. the real question: Who will be monitoring Katy Perry?
There has been some recent doubt as to whether ART BELL would return, but a message posted to Facebook tonight seems to make it official: Art Bell will face George Noory..
Seriously.. A CNN ‘blizzard mobile’… This all was just shameful..
A blast from the past.. midway through the 1900s this Buchanan Brothers song was played under the covers of darkness..
Andrew Sullivan writes,
I want to spend some real time with my parents, while I still have them, with my husband, who is too often a ‘blog-widow’, my sister and brother, my niece and nephews, and rekindle the friendships that I have simply had to let wither because I’m always tied to the blog. And I want to stay healthy. I’ve had increasing health challenges these past few years. They’re not HIV-related; my doctor tells me they’re simply a result of fifteen years of daily, hourly, always-on-deadline stress. These past few weeks were particularly rough – and finally forced me to get real.
We’ll have more to say – and we’re sure you will as well – in due course. I particularly want to take some time to thank my indispensable, amazing colleagues in a subsequent post. For the time being, auto-renewals have been suspended and the pay-meter has been disabled. While we’re in this strange, animated suspension, I just wanted to take one post to thank you personally, the readers, founding members and subscribers to the Dish.
And this
You were there before I met my husband; you were there when I actually got married; and when I finally got my green card; and when Dusty – who still adorns the masthead – died. I can’t describe this relationship outside the rather crude term of “mass intimacy” but as I write this, believe me, my eyes are swimming with tears.
How do I say goodbye? How do I walk away from the best daily, hourly, readership a writer could ever have? It’s tough. In fact, it’s brutal. But I know you will understand. Because after all these years, I feel I have come to know you, even as you have come to see me, flaws and all. Some things are worth cherishing precisely because they are finite. Things cannot go on for ever. I learned this in my younger days: it isn’t how long you live that matters. What matters is what you do when you’re alive. And, man, is this place alive.
And finally
When I write again, it will be for you, I hope – just in a different form. I need to decompress and get healthy for a while; but I won’t disappear as a writer.
But this much I know: nothing will ever be like this again, which is why it has been so precious; and why it will always be a part of me, wherever I go; and why it is so hard to finish this sentence and publish this post.
This is a majorly big deal in my life. I have loved Andrew Sullivan and hated him.. but each time I wanted depth and perspective on any given issue, I would stop randomly clicking headlines and simply go to his website for that missing piece of the larger puzzle. Sullivan has been wrong on some things.. right on some things. But his blog and opinion was always an evolving work in progress.. he brought with him site intelligence and the highest degree of analysis that could be found online..
His live blogs of the State of the Union speeches each year could not be missed..
And to a degree, his little comic logo even inspired the CoalSpeaker’s emblem that rests atop this page.
Indeed, Andrew Sullivan and his site has meant a lot to me..
I certainly hope he’s not gone for good. And as a fellow blogger, I can say this.. when you do this type of thing, you never go for good. I sense we’ll see and hear from Sullivan soon.
But..go he must.
I will miss him.
A 4.2-magnitude earthquake struck Leicester, England, on Wednesday. (Page 1)
Also Kansas near a frack well..
And a 5.7 in Northern California..
And 6.2M earthquake in the West Pacific occurred exactly at 300 miles depth….
I’m not a firm believer in the humanity of people.. Proof in the pudding comes from the endless supplies of Facebook posts on a daily basis about bad parenting and suffering children.. It getting rough to surf around my least favorite social network these days..
The latest this morning came with a story if a woman from West Virginia putting feces in her child’s IV in a hospital causing his fever to spike and also resulting in children and youth taking him..
I am constantly reminded by commenting friends on these stories..
I’m inundated with links on my news feed of horrible things happening to the most innocent..
And then after comments are made or ‘like’ is clicked people move on to the next heartbreaking tragedy..
This is how click porn is done on Facebook now: Offer up the worst of the worst for people to sink their teeth into ,just for clicks on a news story or website. Leaving the Facebook user with a lack of hope by noon..
I for one am ready to check out..
I already have no hope in my fellow humans, and I really and getting cost ed by all of the evidence that adds to my anger at people..
Maybe a little zoning out from Facebook is necessary.. Perhaps it’s time to click off and tune out. Or just filter things a hit better than I previously have..
Otherwise the constant flow of horrid news stories of children facing awful consequences at he hands of care givers or supposed parental figures will continue to obscure the beauty that exists in life.
At least I think there’s still some beauty and goodness.
If not that at least there’s mystery.
And obviously misery too..
Amazing to think that if this would be closer it would dominate earth’s night sky..
If you believe that they put a man on Mars…
We have had squirrels and garbage cans, Obama’s face and more.. but now may be the biggest shocker for people staring closely at Mars rover images..
This picture seems to show a man repairing the probe on the red planet.. At least that is what some are wildly saying online..
Men on Mars?
Or a rover still on earth and faking out the entire population of the globe?
The picture was released by NASA—something strange to do if you would want to hide such an occurrence.
Shadows, Dear Watson, just shadows.
And really.. with the temperature, you really think EGON from GHOSTBUSTERS would survive without a helmet?
Director Paul Feig took to Twitter on Wednesday to reveal his all-female leads in the upcoming “Ghostbusters” reboot.
I think this is going to work out just fine..
Gov. Tom Wolf gave an impromptu audience Tuesday to parents of children who are suffering daily from debilitating seizures and vowed to sign a medical marijuana bill that senators are writing.
Pennsylvania already seeing the difference that a Governor’s race can make..
President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama participate in a delegation receiving line with the new Saudi Arabian King, Salman bin Abdul Aziz, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2015. The president and first lady have come to express their condolences on the death of the late Saudi Arabian King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz al-Saud. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)
And the real reason the photo is poignant: Michelle Obama refused to wear a headscarf..
The ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS THIS:
Under the kingdom’s strict dress code for women, Saudi females are required to wear a headscarf and loose, black robes in public. Most women in Saudi Arabia cover their hair and face with a veil known as the niqab. But covering one’s head is not required for foreigners, and some Western women choose to forego the headscarf while in Saudi Arabia.
As a delegation of dozens of Saudi officials — all men — greeted the Obamas in Riyadh, some shook hands with Mrs. Obama. Others avoided a handshake but acknowledged the first lady with a nod as they passed by.
This is an obvious scene of fear and panic.. Times Square, empty during the Blizzard of 2015 that became the Fizzler of the new year.. I am amazed that the city that never sleeps wouldn’t venture out to enjoy a kiss under the lights during the snow.. or hot coffee and snowball fights on a city street.. I am sort of sad seeing this. If you go through the annals of history when big storms actually hit, the entire city was out and about, doing the same thing they’d be doing if it was sunny and warm..
But this year, with this new found generation if wimps, we hide and ‘hunker down.’ We play video games and stare at the endless supplies of bread and milk purchased in near empty stores.
Don’t get me wrong, weather can be dangerous during storms. Blizzards can also be horrendous with massive power outages and winds that can kill.
But this storm was not that. At least not for millions of people who were told their lives were about to end and their island would be disconnected from the United States, sent out to drift, and subject to alien spaceshifts playing target practice on big buildings in the Atlantic Ocean. Okay. Maybe that is not what was said.. but what was said obviously led to fear and panic..
Are we not able to endure any challenge anymore?
Last night during the brief snow that hit my part of Pennsylvania, I took my dog for a walk and noticed several yards were covered in footprints, sleigh paths, and tunnels. It was amazing to see the work of children playing their hearts out on a cold and school-less winter day.
But that is not the scene in the trendy Big Apple. At least not according to the evidence supplied by this photo..
This photo shows an opposite era than one in the past. Now we hide behind walls and computer screens. We live blog our reactions, and we Tweet about weather.
But we don’t get out and enjoy it. Play in it. Live in it.
Live a little.
It’s snow.
And obviously, it’s not the big storm promised..
I love the energy of Times Square. I think a lot of people missed out on that energy by hiding away from flakes as they fell …
BUT THEN.. Just when hope is lost.. and image comes across a wire like this: People acting like children in the snowy city:
And this:
The only problem for America: Our handstand friend is from Liechtenstein.
Am I missing something here?
While the panic ensued and bread and milk vanished from store shelves about the blizzard that turned into the fizzard, there was something mightily amazing happening well above our heads in outer space..
There was a frighteningly close shave experienced by the planet Earth.
On Monday, asteroid 2004 BL86 was traveling at 35,000 miles .. it passed around 3.1 times the distance of the Earth to the moon. And when it did, there was quite an amazing sight: The asteroid HAS ITS OWN MOON!
This asteroid was discovered in 2004.. the passby it had yesterday was the closest it will be until 2027..This asteroid was so big, obviously, that a moon was gravitated in for the wild ride..
The other obvious aspect of this story: This was exceptionally close.. at least we knew about it since 2004.. If it would have now–or does in 2027–it would be equal to several Hiroshima bombs.. It would be a mass extinction event.. But last night we were safe. Instead we panicked in big cities and bought every crumb of bread and ounce of milk that stores had..
At some point we need to realize that the real threat–and yet ironically the place we should be trying to reach–is space. This one let us live. But it’s the other asteroids floating and whirling in space that we don’t know about which keeps people awake at night..
The Lizard Squid took down Malaysian airlines this weekend.. And last night they took down Facebook and Instagram.. However, Facebook denies the attack took place but a major outage did take place//
THE GREAT FIZZLE OF 2015!
THE GREAT BUST OF 2015! The blizzard fizzle..
The storm, though large for some, failed to live up to the predictions some said..
The Weather Channel went wall-to-wall on coverage for the storm they called Juno.. other networks had their reporters out ready with yardsticks..but each time they did a live report, the snow was vacant and the streets were covered in a simple slushy mess..
Parts of Long Island had a long duration wind storm, and Boston seemed to be the hardest hit of the big cities when speaking of snow totals.. But 6000+ flights later, you sure wonder if the threat was big or if the hype simply took over ..
After all, forecasters have to pick now from dozens of computer models where as, in those ancient days of the 20th century, they’d get guidance from a model and forecast it themselves.
There was science then. Now there’s computer runs… The runs tell the tale correctly: There was a storm on a certain date. They can pinpoint patterns and systems.. but forecasters need to begin doing their jobs again and picking a model for guidance and coming up with their own story.. One forecaster even Tweeted an apology to policy makers in big cities over the forecast being so wrong.
While the major metropolitan areas–with people well-stocked with bread, milk, and liquor–were spared, the real blizzard will take place but not in the big cities.. Maine and Nova Scotia will be getting hit hard.. But will the media care? Will they report? Will they decide?
The bust was a gust,
But hype they must!
Fear gets ratings.
And empty store shelves..
Stock boys must be hating.
A moment captured in time.. as we prep and shop for every last loaf of bread across the Northeast, perspective is key.
Here’s some images of a storm past. Namely the great blizzard of 1888.. While I was alive for 93, 96, 03, and 07’s massive blasts, I surely wasn’t present for the 1888 monster–at least not in my current human form. And neither were you.. but the images are striking, and somewhat haunting. The one I chose to push through with the link for this story shows people silently staring at the camera as they attempted to slowly dig out of the monster that befell them.. Amazing images indeed.
I trust within the coming days we will see even more amazing images–but modern and new as the blizzard of 2015 descends on 30+ million people strong.
Mark Dice, you’ve done it again..
Boy this is catchy..
A security perimeter has been set up but spokesman Josh Earnest said that he drone posed no threat to the life or limb of anyone inside or the building itself..
But a drone found near the White House lawn? With the drones of the future dominating our skies, lots of weird accidents and purposely landings will be happening..
Three feet of snow in places and hurricane force winds expected with the Blizzard of 2015.. The storm is historic –it may shatter records for snowfall in some major cities.
The Drudge Report has been blasting old images of lovers in New York City parks surrounded by snow.. those scenes may play out again in our new age. The part of this which may be the most historic of all: 28 million people are in blizzard warnings and another 11 million are in winter storm warnings and advisories.. this is a widespread monster.
And it is the kind that has not been seen for decades–some people in the area will be experiencing a monster snowstorm like this for the first time in their lives, as they were not present no this planet in 1993 and 1996..
Another point of chaos with the upcoming blizzard: Flight cancellations and delays. And lots of them.. Airlines were preparing to shut down operations along the East Coast late Sunday, leading to the cancellation of approximately 3,000 flights at this time.. That’s a lot.
The SMILEY FACE theory of murder.. ripe for horror movies.. BUT.. I am still doubtful of this as a true theory.. but there have been LOTS of strange deaths lately among healthy college men.. And they all seem to involve floating in water near a path that they should not have taken to get home after drinking.. Is there a serial killer somewhere on the the loose killing all of these men the same way?
You can read the WIKI on this.. It seems tough to think there is something nefarious going on. But for some reason, healthy teenage boys or men in the early 20s drown..
But they do happen when people are drinking. Could all of these deaths be suicide? Or could there be a true SMILEY FACE theory that sensibly connects all of the strange deaths across the nation? You may be interested in joining the discussion on Facebook where a dedicated SMILEY FACE killer theory page has been established..
Cnn reporting:
The National Weather Service has upgraded a blizzard watch to a blizzard warning for the central New Jersey coast all the way to the Canadian border, including Boston and New York City.
Mayor Bill de Blasio warns New Yorkers to “prepare for something worse” than what they have seen before. “We are facing most likely one of the largest snowstorms in the history of this city.”
Twenty to 30 inches of snow is possible in some areas with winds gusting 55 to 65 mph. The National Weather Service says whiteout conditions will make travel extremely dangerous.
“Slenderman” sightings in the UK have prompted paranormal investigation.. reports of an 8-foot man haunting people, causing sleep paralysis.. The term ‘slenderman’ came from a Creepypasta a few years back, but the notion of a tall slender man with a pale white face has been in culture for centuries. What is strange about this is how many similar stories of this type of man are suddenly coming from the UK mining town of Staffordshire..

OPERATIONAL MODELS ARE A GO..
A MAJOR BLIZZARD IS ABOUT HIT THE NORTHEAST..
This could be impressive and historic..
There are chances that by Tuesday parts of Jersey, New York, Boston, and others cities along the seaboard will be measuring the snow with a yard stick..
ACCUWEATHER has information.. This from the site:
Travel disruptions due to the snow should be anticipated as early as the Monday morning commute around Philadelphia and New York City.
The snow is expected to expand and intensify across New England throughout Monday and Monday night, pushing into Canada during the day on Tuesday.
"The worst conditions in eastern New England can be expected late Monday night through Tuesday morning," said AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Ben Noll.
Noll continued by saying that blizzard conditions will occur during this time.
As said by others, the time to prepare is now.. not just bread and milk, but enough batteries to withstand a major power outage.. The grid just ain’t what it used to be..
This is developing winter storm poised to begin tonight and last through Monday January 26.. be aware ..
The LA TIMES,
As the measles outbreak that started at Disneyland grew to at least 70 cases Wednesday, much of the attention has focused on how the vast majority of patients were not vaccinated for the highly contagious disease.
But some medical experts also have expressed concern about the five patients who contracted measles despite being fully vaccinated.
2014 was already a record year for measles, according to the CDC.. This Disneyland outbreak could make that record fall if it continues to spread..
TIME magazine and many others have piled on despite the VACCINATED cases.. They are blaming anti vaccine crowd for the outbreak..
But let’s get real.. people from every part of the globe go to the cesspool known as Disneyland .. and it’s not shocking to think of horrid germs and diseases living fine lives among us the refuse of the park..
I think even more interesting with all of this: measles seems to be getting stronger than the vaccine.
Still can’t figure out why the United States cannot just separate MMR into three shots.
But .. I guess there’s something logical my un-educated mind is missing on that..
Just think.. there are billions upon billions of planets in billions of galaxies.. And each one makes a brilliantly amazing sound.. just like the few creepy ones presented in this brief video.
The voice of earth is amazing—just think of it as the conglomeration of everything that is on earth at any given moment. Listen close.. perhaps you’ll hear your own cries of pain or tears of happiness..
I think we know this already..
BUT there seems to be more than we know.. no?
And more from REUTERS:
Abe, speaking to public broadcaster NHK, said chances were high that a recording and an image of what appeared to be the decapitated body of Japanese captive Harman Yukawa, which emerged late on Saturday, were authentic.
Abe also called for the immediate release of the remaining Japanese captive, reporter Kenji Goto, and said he was putting top priority on saving Goto’s life.
But he reiterated that Japan would not give in to terrorism.
"Such an act of terrorism is outrageous and impermissible, which causes me nothing but strong indignation," Abe said.

A Jan. 12 inspection of Arkansas Funeral Care in Jacksonville found the funeral home’s cooler in its holding facility “filled beyond capacity with bodies,” according to a state inspector’s report, with two bodies “stacked on top of each other” and other bodies, not embalmed, lying outside the cooler.
The state Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors suspended the licenses of the funeral home and its manager, LeRoy Wood, during an emergency hearing Wednesday afternoon. Several hours later, officials with the state Crime Laboratory and the Pulaski County coroner’s office removed 31 bodies from the funeral home.

I love old postcards.. this one is of Ashland, PA.. If you’d see it now, you would never realize this 1907 card could have been the same town..
So often we think ‘progress’ is achieved.. but think back> AT that time we have railways to connect towns and cities.. we had downtowns where people would congregate for shopping and eating.. we had theaters.. so many towns had most of its people working in coal mining or manufacturing.
Sure the past was rough and tough.. but in 1907 when this was sketched, the town was also younger and more vibrant. Filled with business and life.
Now it has boarded up store fronts and dilapidated buildings. Chances are your town is the same, too.
I guess that’s progress..

Pope Francis says families should put aside their iPhones and Twitter feeds and talk to each other
I’m completely okay with that..
Pope Francis on Thursday told Italian police officers in charge of security around the Vatican that he saw “shadows and dangers”, but urged them not to give in to fear.
"On the horizon we see shadows and dangers which worry humanity," he said in the wake of an increase in security around the Vatican amid fears Islamic State extremists may be plotting to attack the head of the Roman Catholic Church.
Security was tightened in Saint Peter’s Square in September after intelligence services intercepted a possible plan to attack the Vatican. Iraq’s ambassador to the Holy See, Habib Al Sadr, at the time warned that “what has been declared by the self-declared Islamic State is clear.
Yesterday on NIGHT TERROR NEWS, I wrote a bit about the troubling ‘prophecies of the Pope’ that litter my mind. The news of this “shadows and dangers” comment provides even more fodder for the paranoid mind, the haunting images of a Pope standing overtop of his people during a final battle or perhaps even on being the last in a series prophetized by St. Malachy so many centuries ago..
This from the AP:
Iraq’s ambassador to the Holy See, Habib Al Sadr, at the time warned that “what has been declared by the self-declared Islamic State is clear. They want to kill the Pope. The threats against the Pope are credible.”
But are the prophetic words of Malachy, Pope Pius, and Nostradamus as credible as the threats?

There is one common thread, though. Most people seem to be quite fine that it will be used as a home to edumucation.. but there’s some other things which are getting some heated reactions among CB alumni, including the following:
I am not in the camp blaming NS for anything.
But instead I blame the Catholic Church. I blame them for having priests who molested children for 50 years, leading to a collapse in faith and lack of church attendance ,and lack of money, and death of Catholic education. If anyone is looking for a villain, they are your best option.
Meanwhile.. This is how CB once looked way in the past, and more recently in the past..
It’s over folks
The blue and gold blood has long dried up..
I knew there would be consequences if I caught up on my dash.
People knew there’d be SOME KIND OF MESS that happened once YAHOO! took over..
Now I just wish, before this mess becomes a full fledged website social networking crisis, they come up with a good backup for people who don’t use MACs.. just hoping..
From the start, the idea of Hatred was supposed to be like it is now. I mean, we somehow knew that the media and some people would find it disturbing and shocking, but we also felt that gamers need something like Hatred, because the market is filled with too many sterile and far too polite games. A little bit of dirt and murky atmosphere never hurt anyone. As you have seen lately, gamers have rushed into support this project, with amazing numbers of Greenlight votes. So if there is a need for such games, we feel that we did the game concept well.
Destructive Creations business developer Przemysław Szczepaniak in an interview with VICE about the controversial new game HATRED
Get read to read and hear a lot of debate and wild comments being made about this game.. The main plot of HATRED: You can play a mass murdering psychopath. And that’s about it..
You can do all the killing you want..
You can gameplay murder as long as you want..
One more point on the interview in VICE: The business developer Szczepaniak *say that five times fast* also said this about the brutal honesty of HATRED when compared to other games:
Any killing game is about violence. It doesn’t matter if you try to justify it by a twist in the storyline, because you are still killing to reach a certain goal. Killing is always wrong. We show with Hatred how killing can be cruel; we did not justify anything about [it] – this is our honesty.
There is no doubt.. if you play HATRED, you will kill and that’s the goal.. For some that is the beauty of this game. To others, that’s the real reason to be scared: The cover is off and the truth is being spoken.. HATRED wants you to score some good death numbers.. Confined to the GAME.. of course..
