If I had to make a prophecy, I would say this: There may be a surge in sales for a book called The Rabbi Who Found Messiah: The Story of Yitzhak Kaduri and His Prophecies of the Endtime.
It’s the tale, whether true or not, of the man who supposedly prophesied that the Messiah would return after the death of Ariel Sharon.
Headlines today, obviously, tell us that Sharon has finally shed his human skin and it somewhere in the other realm..
The author of the book is Carl Gallups. You can perhaps start your research and attain a fair assessment of his credibility on your own with a Google search..
In the mean time. Get your food and water. The Messiah is coming. Hope he has a GPS because he sure has been taking a while..
Bridge Scandal Papers Point to Cover-Up by Chris Christie Allies
Top officials loyal to Gov. Chris Christie went to great lengths to make it appear that the closing of several toll lanes was part of a traffic study, according to documents released Friday.
He said he didn’t know a thing.. he fired his staffers.. he had a two hour press conference. Somewhere in there he had lunch.
But really, what did Chris Christie eat and when did he eat it know and when did he know it?
The documents even show that someone from the Christie Administration was physically on the scene during the lane closure..
The NEW YORK TIMES reports this:
In November, as a number of media outlets continued to raise questions, Mr. Drewniak exchanged a series of profanity-laced emails with Mr. Wildstein, cursing reporters and disparaging Mr. Foye, as well.
The documents also indicate that Mr. Christie’s appointees at the Port Authority had discussed the matter with Mr. Christie’s communications director, Maria Comella, as early as Oct. 2, after the second of two articles appeared in The Wall Street Journal. “Comella didn’t think much of the story. Said nobody paying attention,” Mr. Baroni texted Mr. Wildstein.
The emails also suggest the intimate involvement of David Samson, Mr. Christie’s handpicked chairman of the Port Authority, showing that he was aware of the lane closings before they ended on Sept. 13.
One week after Mr. Foye sent him an angry email about the lane closings, Mr. Samson struck back in an email to New York appointees at the authority. He accused Mr. Foye of leaking a memo critical of the lane closings to The Journal. When the New Yorkers said they did not believe Mr. Foye had done so, Mr. Samson insisted, finally warning, “he’s playing in traffic, made a big mistake.”
I am no political expert. Actually politics has made me become physically ill for some time now.. But in this matter, I am very interested. It is amazing how the media is able to propel a man into fame and fortune.. his attitude helps but the media attention creates the aura that he is a man ‘takin care of bidness’.. and then the downfall. The feeding frenzy.
The bigger they are the harder they fall. That may be the case here..
I think there is a larger story than the bridge scandal. These emails may uncover an attitude, not just a potential crime..
It continues to develop.. And the feeding frenzy continues..

This looks like a great documentary, it’s called the MASK YOU LIVE IN.
Here’s the official Facebook page for the film..
Boys don’t know how to ‘take the mask off’ anymore..
Culture, pop culture specifically, has ruined girls and caused incredibly awful body image issues for decades. Now it’s moving to boys..
What in the hell have we done as a society…?

It has been quite the night.
I guess you know you are meant to keep a dog when he runs away into dark cold woods and after a dashing rescue returns in one piece..
Around 5 o’clock tonight, Ayden suddenly decided to open the door to allow Mutley to escape.. Maybe it was because he was tired of the dog biting his toys, or maybe he wanted to set the dog free from the rules that confine him..
As soon as this occurred a daring chase scene unfolded! I immediately ran after Mutley the dog, over a highway and into the woods, but I couldn’t even catch a glimpse…
Ayden realized what he had done, but his little legs could not join in the search..
So many horrible things were going through my mind, that the dog would get hit by a car, abducted by aliens, or torn apart by Bigfoot..
I said to the higher power “if we’re meant to have this dog let it come back”
Not specifying the fashion I wanted the dog’s return to be in, the higher power answered in his own way.
My father, who joined in the rescue, was driving his car and saw the dog, the dog saw him and darted directly for the vehicle. This is where things get a bit murky.. My dad said that the car and the dog made contact but he said he was not moving at the time. Instead the dog literally railed head first into the car at about 65 mph running speed.. I can attest to that, I’ve never seen an animal on four legs run as fast as Mutley the dog does..
All is now well, the dog has no broken bones but is acting very ashamed.. My dad, as he is done through most of my life, made things right again. Ayden is building his ninja turtle Legos. Mommy is trying, as usual, to understand my meandering and strange stories. And I am just confused and tired from running 2 miles in one minute.
But we will all sleep tonight as a family..
Suicides of young vets top those of active-duty troops
USA TODAY filed an information request about this topic and got some sad results..
As they report:
"The rates … are honestly alarming. This group of young veterans appears to be in some trouble," says Janet Kemp, head of the department’s suicide prevention program.
The Army has struggled with suicide among active-duty troops more than other service branches during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the risk persists after soldiers return to civilian life.
There seems to be a big issue when re-adjusting to civilian life.. that, or the horrors of what these men and women saw in combat haunts them so much so that they choose to take themselves out of the misery of memories..
I’d love thoughts and opinions on my open lines page as to what you think the problem is..

NEW YORK TIMES Review: Wearable Filip Phone/Tracker
The Filip phone, worn like a bracelet, keeps track of a child when paired with an app downloaded to a parent’s mobile device.
I am very conflicted with this story.
On one hand, anyone who reads this site knows I fret—sometimes outright fear—the future and how technology will be used to rid the world of humans and replace our emotions wand actions with those of the virtual nature.. But I’m a parent, too, who understands the dangers of society and how children can easily get lost in a K-MART let alone a big world…
So …I don’t know what to say. In a sense I get nervous about the government and big business monitoring our every move. I don’t like cameras watching my facial expressions in stores. I don’t like public buses recording my conversations. And I don’t like how far the NSA seemingly has overstepped some boundaries, at least according to the Snowden documents..
But parents being big brother? That may be allowable and morally acceptable in my mind. After all, constitutional protections sometimes don’t translate well when you’re talking about the relationship a parent has with a child. A dictatorship in a household is often the best course of action—not always of course..
So … The wearable flip phone tracker for children? I may be a fan. So now tell me, does that make me a hypocrite?

No one owns the moon says scientist - Telegraph
From the TELEGRAPH story:
“The legal status of the moon is currently defined by the 1967 Outer Space Treaty of the United Nations.”
But he added: “There’s a strong case for developing international law in this area because in 1967 it was not envisaged that anyone other than nation states would be able to explore the moon. Clearly that is changing now and there is a case for developing the outer space treaty to include private organisations that may wish to explout the moon.”
He said there was also a case for developing the treaty in light of private companies who may in the future want to mine the moon for its minerals, but that it was unnecessary to worry about this at the moment as scientific exploration was still ongoing.
Makes me wonder if any other life forms out there in space debate the question: Who owns the pale blue dot?

A fire has destroyed the historic Neale Mansion
This perhaps is more a story for my local readers in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania..
According to the Pottsville REPUBLICAN HERALD today, firefighters were called to he Neale Mansion in Foster Twp.. The paper does not yet have specifics as to the totality of the fire, but the word ‘destroy’ in the headline is enough to cause me to think it’s a loss..
This photo is from the newspaper:
This would make the destruction of a house with historic appeal—and controversial appeal over the past few years.
James B. Neale was a coal baron who, according to books about him, was generous and took care of children from the area.. There are some very positive stories about Neale and idyllic goals.. James Neale was one of those coal barons who did little evil. . as a matter of fact, as the book "The Great Chance" explained, he wanted coal miners to be well housed, healthy, and sanitary, and educated.
People have long ventured into the area to snap photos of the expansive and amazing mansion..
The mansion itself was subject to years worth of controversy. In 2008, the owners wanted to bar demolition of the mansion.... In 2010, Foster Twp asked a judge to allow work on the mansion. In 2012, it was officially sold.
In 2014: It’s burned to the ground..
Sad day for those who love history, and those who long cherished the ideals set forth by one of the few honest coal barons of that day, James Neale..
