Daylight savings coming, waste another year

Well today is it.. It’s not the darkest day of the year, that comes before Christmas, but it’s Daylight Savings Time. There’s lots of old farm reasons we do it.. George W. Bush changed the time of year we did it a decade ago. I still don’t get that one.

But here we are again.. falling back—and hour more of sleep tonight, but of course having a child I will just be up an early earlier than normal.. 

It is strange.. As I type this it’s 11:30am. This time tomorrow it will be 10:30…

Something always feels lost this time of year, besides sunlight and daytime hours. 

Thank God someone decided to keep pagan traditions alive in the early Christian church. If not, there’d be no Christmas lights in the dark, dull winter air..

Daylight savings coming in.

By the way, this Counting Crows song was recorded in the year 1996, and there have been lots of daylights savings since then.  I was 16 and the world was in front of me. But I have come to learn that each November, things all become the same…cold days, lonely nights, leaves slowly falling around me.. A whirlwind of autumn leaving, making way for the death of winter.

TWAS THE DAY AFTER HALLOWEEN. And that doesn't mean the world is not still scary

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 1, 2013
ALL HALLOW'S DAY


RELAX. IT'S OVER.

ALL HALLOW'S EVE has ended.. Trick or treat night ended up being rainy for little Ayden.. the dark side of the night actually became intensified--it was like the ancient Celts were right .. I felt a thin vale slowly lifting for a bit as the wind and rain poured down over streets vaguely light by night lights and glowing orange Halloween decor.. But the night, as things go, is over. Quickly.. And now we march as a civilization into the other season. In America, Thanksgiving. And across the world; Christmas. Santa Claus is putting away the Halloween mask and warming up the sleigh.. His slave labor camp is going into high gear.. Elves' breaks are stopping. Hope he put the suicide nets outside of the North Pole.
Onto Christmas we go, world!
For better or worse.

Happy holidays: Deep cuts to food stamp program starts now. It may be brutal for some.. How it will affect your state.. Yes, indeed.. Congress beats up on the weak before their several weeks off from work.

A new report about Obamacare shows just how bad the website is.. in a nation of million of uninsured people, only six people signed up on day one of Obamacare, and only a few hundred the next day. The numbers are coming as a shock--and most likely numbers that have not improved since those opening days..

Time to start shopping: Obama tells people who lost their health plans to pick themselves up by the bootstraps, log on and try to get to healthcare.gov when it works, and get a new plan. America!

Fukushima has changed the world. And of course, not in a good way..

Recently, there was a story which circulated that Facebook knew when you were going to break up with your mate. But how does it know who you are with, does it really know who you are sleeping with?? Yes. NEWSER.COM explains how

And you thought the NSA snooping in on the Vatican conclave was creative? Move over, spooks: China may be bugging Russia and listening through clothing irons! SPY VS SPY, with freshly pressed shirts..

John Kerry admit: US surveillance went 'too far'

The randomness of murder: Four mass killings in four days..


Meet the little boy who could not leave the Pope..

Strong earthquake shakes Taiwan..

Mass methane gas release is accelerating..

While preppers may be reader, will their kids!? It's a logical question that some parents of tech-addicted teenagers are asking.. A website is asking the question: How will your teen act when the SHTF?

One thing that kids may NOT be able to do when the fecal matter is thrown into the wind, at least in New York State: Buy smokes. New York is raising the legal age to purchase tobacco to age 21..

War, peace, and H20: It's all going to come to a head.. WORLD AFFAIRS details that very notion in a new issue, arguing that climate chance is nothing when compared to the coming water wars on Earth and 'water refugees' roaming the dry land.. British media reports that the circumstances of water use may be so sire that now water companies are beginning to take notice of the scarcity.. But reports aren't stop some leaders from making strange choices, such as Harper from Canada selling the fresh water supply to a French company.. NESTLE has been called the world's worst 'water predator.' Comments from CEO Peter Brabeck, commenting that water should NOT be a right, surely doesn't help the corporate cause. Stay hydrated.

Yellowstone magma reservoir gets larger..

If you are trying to eat fresh and health, there are some Frankenfoods to refuse.. Here are 20 of them.


A clown was hit by lightning two times in one day--and he plans on going to church more often.. I guess that may be a logical step after being hit by lightning twice in one day. I'd prefer him just stop being a clown, though, and we can call it even..

There is a huge bird die off taking place in Australia. It's 'not just a freak event.'

ENDER'S GAME cast left asking: How is this humanity possible?

Porn king Steve Hirsch desperate for Tori Spelling sex tape. He may be the only one..

The HUFFINGTON POST finds it necessary to tell us that Mila Kunis bought her own groceries. And for some reason I found it necessary to link that story..

Anything is possible on Halloween: '666' is the lucky lotto combo for winners in Connecticut..

Four years after the EXORCIST release, the movie slips back into the light for anniversary..

This story absolutely amazed me.. Kepler has found an 'impossible world.' "Impossible" because a rocky exoplanet that swelters in extreme heat really should not be present in a location with tight orbit.. Too cool. So many things that we meager humans simply don't, can't, and never will understand.

Stars and their Halloween selfies.. Heidu Klum ages and Nicki Minaj virtually nude.
Thankfully the Halloween season has ended.

ON MORE DAY 'TIL HALLOWEEN. SILVER SHAMROCK


A year of nothings: Sandy survivors see no path home.. still, one year later..
It is actually pretty hard to believe that it's has been a year already since the massive Superstorm hit..Should you be interested, there is some archived information from last year on both THE HORROR REPORT and my personal website Coalspeaker .. One year since those winds destroyed and those floods killed.. A year goes by fast--but for those who still see no sign of recovery, it must have been a very, very long year..
Winter 13-14 Nor'Easters could spell disaster for Sandy victims..


The latest from St Jude: 15 dead.. That was another historic storm, one year to the same time frame that Sandy struck the North American continent..

The sun has suddenly become active: More big flares are firing off.. And maybe some more to come.

Just in time for the holiday season: Food stamp cuts. And a Food Bank CEO suggests that those cuts could spark food riots..

A report claims that milk prices could skyrocket to $8 a gallon is farm bill is not passed..


Rand Paul set to block Janet Yellen's nomoination with audit the FED pitch..

Obama knew that millions of Americans would not be able to keep their health insurance..

Grill on the Hill: Sebelius testimony at Congressional Hearing about Healthcare.gov glitches..


The Cardinals' plane grounded with mechanical problems.. That curse that used to be over the Red Sox doesn't have a home anymore. Every team that plays them better watch their bats..

Girl kills herself after her parents ban her from Facebook..


This is a bizarre idea.. The United Nations is planning to fight asteroid with "Committee on Peaceful Uses of outer Space" .. And just in case that plan doesn't work, the big shots in big leagues have their backup plan for the 1%: The artic bunker with a doomsday vault featuring every seed from everything on earth. Yes, mankind will persevere.. even if 99% get wiped from the planet..


Why are you (*am me*) always tired? A website gives us some ideas.. They include not drinking enough water, being low on B12, or lots of other possibilities. What about just getting four hours of sleep a night, I did not see that one on the list..

Peru reopening UFO investigations..


A woman believes that she was healed by a ghost, and also goes on to claim that she has a photo to prove it..She said that the 'White Lady' in a church during a family summer holiday.. Does this photo prove that a ghostly angel may have assisted in healing someone, or is it proof that 'mind over matter' is stronger than we think?


All thumbs: New CALL OF DUTY ad will feature Megan Fox..

Religious scholars join horror movie buffs in St. Louis for another look at the film THE EXORCIST..

Batman making horror movies better! This is a pretty fun video..

Man trying to revive Detroit neighborhood Halloween..

A huge Halloween weather system set to impact large area..


Samhain set: Witches are the most popular costume in 2013, princesses for kids. Not making the list: The TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES. I frankly think they were the most popular this year, since we could not find any for my son in a 100 mile square radius. I guess the best gauge for that will be so see if any heroes in a half shell end up joining Ayden in night life trick or treating..

Those childhood stories that were told in the dark..

The best book covers ever—-and some of the best books ever, too. 

I remember being frightened of these imaginative stories as a child—some have stuck with me ever since. 

There was a yearly ‘book fair’ that would show up in my grade school. 

I went to a Catholic school, so nice child-friendly books were proudly on display. 

But if you looked hard enough, you can find these books there.. I bought it sneakily, as though I was doing something bad, and tucked it away in my bookbag until I got home. 

And then I’d read it at night, and cover myself with blankets when I heard the house squeak….They were scary stories to tell in the dark…And if I’m not mistaken, they still exist somewhere in my house.  I just have to find them…

When I do my son Ayden will inherit the treasure..

The monsters of Jedwabne

The film is called AFTERMATH. The HOLLYWOOD REPORTER is reporting about the film today.. It perhaps may be one of the most important movies ever made, and since it is about actual events that some have chosen to forget, will be controversial too..

It details some horrible series of events that happened on July 10 1941.. It premiers in the United States this week.. 

If you want to know how controversial this movie may be, consider just the opening paragraph of the HOLLYWOOD REPORTER story:

On July 10, 1941, half the residents of Jedwabne, a Polish village 85 miles northeast of Warsaw, murdered the other half. The mob, led by the mayor, were Catholics; their 1,600 victims were Jewish, slaughtered over several nightmarish hours with bats, knives, rifles and other improvised weapons. Those who survived the massacre were then rounded up in a barn donated by a local farmer, which was then set ablaze. A plaque erected at the site blamed Nazis for the massacre, but, in fact, Nazis had only authorized it. Locals walked by the plaque for half a century, knowing the truth, but saying nothing 

The story of Jedwabne is not the typical one taught in American high schools. As a matter of fact, most people may not even know of the dreadful story.. They will this week, at least those who hear of the movie.. 

In 2001, a book called NEIGHBORS explores the death of the 1,600 people.. While I never read it, this may be as good a time as any to reflect on history that mostly has gone unnoticed in the United States.

God fearing Catholics..armed with weapons of little destruction, killed their neighbors ... 

One part of the story, also that may come as a surprise to those who are not aware, the Poles actually asked their new rulers, the Nazis, if it was permitted they kill the Jews. When they got the greenlight, they went overboard--so much so that the Nazis actually told the Poles to keep one family of Jews from every profession.. the Poles said no thanks, as they continued their bloody rampage..

There are still a few resources online that re-tell the story and offer images from the atrocity.

Those resources and information sources are set to increase with the movie AFTERMATH.

Consider this review from the VILLAGE VOICE.

This movie is important to understand, watch..and ponder.

Like the MONSTERS OF MULLBERRY STREET of fiction, this movie based on reality can teach a lesson. A lesson that, as sadly timeless as it may be, atrocities can happen where and when you least expect them...

ANOTHER ASTEROID CLOSES IN--AND IT'S VERY CLOSE FOR COMFORT

INCOMING!

breakingnews:

Asteroid due to fly in between Earth and the moon

SPACE.com: NASA’s Near-Earth Object Program says a small asteroid will fly in between Earth and the moon on Tuesday, with its closest pass to our planet occurring around 5:45 p.m. ET.

The asteroid was first discovered on Oct. 25. During its closest pass, the space rock will fly by Earth at a distance of about 176,000 miles. It’s estimated to be between 39 and 89 feet wide.

There sure have been lots of weird anomalies in the sky in recent days. 

Good thing FEMA REGION 3 is ready for anything.. right?
