News from the world of importance to me and hopefully you..

LockheedMartin, a major defense contractor, says it was hit with a cyber attack on May 21 but also said no information was compromised.. May 21? The rapture didn’t happen, but a cyber rapture of sorts may have..

Major embarassment for the magazine PSYCHOLOGY TODAY, which had to say sorry after a article was posted saying that black women were less attractive than other women.. Can it get more offensive than that?! .. Well, yes. The article used data based on another study to make several claims such as “black women are objectively less physically attractive than other women” yet “subjectively consider themselves to be far more physically attractive than others.”..

Little green monsters: E. coli cucumbers may be in Autralia and HUngary .. don’t be hungry in Hungary for the deadly bacteria..


The quickening: More than 800 tons of fish have died and rotted on fish farms in a lake near Taal volcano south of Manila, with authorities blaming it on a sudden temperature drop…

Dr. Drew says that Conaway did not die from a drug overdose, as is being reported widely in the afterhmath of his relatively young demise..


Born that way and selling this way: Lady Gaga’s newest album expected to sell 1 million copies within its first week alone..

Thousands turn out for Austrlian ‘slut walk’..

Everything is changing: Married people no more .. the number is low.. More people not married than married in the United States..

Bad business: 91-year-old grandmother busted in California for selling suicide kits..

Joplin heartache

Barbecues are lighting up around the fruited plain, but in Joplin Missouri, celebrations are few and sadness is abundant.. The rays of sun cannot even help diminish the pain so many are feeling this Memorial Day as the death toll rises yet higher to 139.. About 100 people are still missing—but that is a far cry from the frightening number of 1500 a few days ago..

What to make of the weather this week? The anger of mother nature.. the quickening coming? .. Just a pattern that happens now and then and all over again? 

Experts will opine until their eyes run dry, but states across the nation this week, including Schmuckraker home base of Pennsylvania, all have battled severe weather and tornadoes. Well, not battled but instead took cover from the wrath of the path..

May next week be better. And this summer too.. And may some comfort come to the town of Joplin, along with Tuscaloosa, both which have experienced losses beyond anyone else’s imaginations this spring.

I’m a dog person myself, but seeing this video of a mom cat comforting a kitten having an apparent bad moment during sleep makes me know that no matter the species on earth, we are all connected in our emotions. In a sense, no matter our size of type, we are all the same.. I’d bed if we looked close enough even trees do the same. Of course modern science would call me crazy.. But if cats can do it, what can’t? Maybe ..worms.

JUST ANOTHER DAY IN THE PARK

Cool stuff: The moon may have a lot more water than imagined, perhaps as much as on Earth in some parts, a study said Thursday, in a discovery that has cast doubt on long-held theories about how it was formed

Amazingly huge melon-sized hail fell in Norman, Oklahoma…

Thanks inflation..

The Memorial Day barbecue is almost 30% more expensive this year over last..



And in kind, I’m searching for the perfect burger. I’f love suggestions and where in the states is the USA where I can find one.. comment appropriately. The hunting begins for the cheeseburger in paradise.

I envy people who start holiday weekends early.. And secretly laugh when they leave early just to get stuck in traffic.

Wherever you are tonight, let me know your weather

Wherever you are tonight, let me know your weather

Hail.. tornado watches.. heavy rain. It's all here

The heavy storms have moved east.. here in the deep and dark abandoned coal region of Pennsylvania, heavy hail is pounding roofs, sidewalks, and car windows.. Tornado watches sounding.. heavy rain falling.. 


There is something going on. The weather is intense. These storms, as they has moved through the nation, has brought pure and utter hell to whoever was hit.. And it is no different today and will be no different tomorrow.


I can’t imagine an entire summer of this. And I certainly never thought it would be an entire spring.. But since Tuscaloosa when so much damage started, it just seemed to never stop…


I write this as the sky turns black yet once again..

It could be anyone! Anywhere!! Maybe even you..

New research on how to spot a psychopath..
Helpful stuff. This will only make me just more paranoid about neighbors, bosses, and even family and friends.. Maybe rightfully so.
