Destruction Of The Global Food Crisis Of Civilization?


Destruction Of The Global Food Crisis Of Civilization?

Foreseen the sudden change of things, is one of the things people are the hardest to do. Typically, we will extrapolate past trends in order to predict the future. Many times, this approach can work, but sometimes this approach obviously does not work, such as the current economic crisis is completely beyond our expectations.





"Civilization itself might collapse," the idea, most people seem very absurd. For such a complete departure from what is expected of our daily lives, who feel that serious consideration will be up an easy thing? What kind of evidence to make us aware that such a terrible warning? How should we respond to this warning? Highly unlikely on a long list of disasters, we are too disapproval of the. For them, we really just waved his hand, did not seriously children: Yes, our civilization could fall into chaos?? Even the Earth is possible because an asteroid hit and destroyed it!





I spent a few years to study the global agriculture, population, environment, economic trends and the interaction between them.

The combined effect of these trends and the resulting political tensions show that the government collapse and social breakdown is likely to happen. However, "food shortages not only result in the fall of a single government, but also destroy the global civilization" point of view, I have also strongly opposed.




But I can no longer ignore the danger. No long be able to solve problems of environmental degradation, are shaking The world's food economy?? Most importantly, the water table to fall, the soil was lost, temperatures are rising?? This forced me to conclude that: a global crash is possible.





Problem of failed states Even cursory look at the real world order, "Vital Signs", will find evidence to support my conclusion, although this is that people do not want to see. 30 years Environmental protection Those records to the trends of environmental degradation, did not even see a trend to reverse over the world to pay any significant effort.





The past 9 years, 6 years lower than the consumption of world food production, food reserves are declining. Grain harvest began in 2008 when world food stocks sufficient only to maintain 62 days, nearly close to historically low inventory records. Therefore, the spring and summer last year Food prices Set the highest record price.





Grain demand growing faster than food supply has become increasingly serious, arising from soaring food prices is a serious threat in the chaotic edge of governments. Hungry people can not buy food or kind of not necessary, it began to take to the streets. In fact, in 2008 before soaring food prices, failed states (failingstate) in increasing the number of (see the left supplementary material). These countries have many of the problems arise from failure to control population growth. If the food situation continues to deteriorate, these countries will accelerate the collapse. Geopolitical (geopolitics) has entered a new era. The 20th century, the main threat to international security is the superpower conflict; now the main threat to international security is the failed state. So that we are not at risk of concentration of power, but the absence of power.





When a country's government can not protect the personal safety and food security, can not provide Education And health care and other basic social services, the country has failed. Failed states often lose some or all of the control of the territory. When the government lost power monopoly, the law and order began to disintegrate. More than a certain critical point, the country would become very dangerous, and even the personal safety of food aid can not guarantee the rescue will be forced to stop. For example, in Somalia and Afghanistan, the deteriorating situation has to be at risk of food relief.





Failed state of international concern, the main reason is that these countries may be terrorists, drugs, weapons and a breeding ground for the refugees, threatening political stability around the world.

Q&A: Have you ever seen a U F O "honestly" no joke, if so when, and where were you at the time?


Question by avid reader I love people.: Have you ever seen a U F O "honestly" no joke, if so when, and where were you at the time?

No I`ve not seen one, as I can tell, but I hear of people who claim to have seen them. I thought I`d ask just to see if any of you can tell us if this is a fact. that you`ve actually seen unidentified flying objects in the sky.
Well Jo don`t feel stupid, I just said in ever saw a u f o. but one night we did see something at night, many years ago in the sky, far far in the distance that seemed as a flying saucer with lights all around, under the edges of it, we watched it for a long time, until it went behind a cloud or vanished from sight, but I think it was an air plane, at least that was the conclusion we all came to. I`d forgotten that.

Woman Attempts To Break Facebook World Record

Now that's dedication.



In an attempt to break a Guinness World Record, Cathy Matthews and about 106 other people -- many of whom, like herself, are fans of the Facebook game "Frontierville" -- posted a whopping 1,001,291 comments to a single Facebook post, KTXL-TV in Sacramento reports.



Scroll down for an image of the post.



Matthews and her friends have submitted the post to Guinness World Records and are now waiting to hear back about whether or not they've officially broken the record.



The original post, which was written on the wall of a Facebook group called "Ffgpioneers/gwr/attempt" on October 30, 2011, has garnered even more comments since the group submitted their claim to the record keeping organization.





With slightly more than 100 people participating, each person had to comment on the post an average of about 9,300 times.



This would have been much more difficult just one year ago, before Facebook introduced its new commenting system. Prior to March 2011, the world's largest social network required users to press "comment" with their mouse before a comment would appear on a post. But as The Next Web reports, Facebook began rolling out a new system in March of last year, so now users only have to press "return" or "enter" to post a comment.



"The most comments on a single Facebook item" record currently stands at 529,335, according to Guinness World Records. That record, held by Roberto Esposito, was set on June 29, 2011.



Zynga, the company behind Frontierville, holds several Guinness World Records itself. Not only is it "the most popular Facebook games developer," but its "Cityville" was named "the most popular game on Facebook" in 2010.

FOX News: UFO Sightings on the Rise in 2012






**Note from me: It should also be considered that reports of UFO sightings being on the rise are on the rise (and perhaps not the actual sightings themselves). Some of the reports being given to MUFON or NUFORC *might* be false reports, to hype up the year 2012. I know of at least one false report already, which I posted in a previous upload: www.youtube.com ********************************************************************** "LAKE MARY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - The National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) says more than 1000 new reports of UFO sightings have been received since October 25, 2011. A large number of reports have flooded in just this year, with increased sightings in 36 of the 50 states. Over a hundred sightings were logged by NUFORC on New Year's Eve with 13 sightings reported in Florida. On December 11, 2011 in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, three people see an estimated 8 orange objects pass from south to north in the night sky, covering approximately 60 degrees of arc in an estimated five minutes. Two more lights appeared shortly after the first group had disappeared, and followed approximately the same path as the first group had followed." Read more: www.myfoxorlando.com

You can then use these elites in later battles to have even more aggressive onslaught of battle against those you come up against. And as they will all be dressed in the garb to represent your nation, you will easily be able to identify them as you charge them forth into battle.

How Many Cherokees Fought In The Civil War? A Lot...


How Many Cherokees Fought In The Civil War? A Lot...
It is not common knowledge that Indian units fought in the Civil War. Although the problem with Indian tribes, including forced removals from their territory, brutal treatment at the hands of American soldiers and militia and skirmishes from revolutionary times onward occurred regularly, some of these tribes, particularly the Cherokee, had a mixed relationship with the powerful government of the United States of America.

By 1806, a series of treaties had whittled down the Cherokee lands so dramatically that when a group of leaders ceded a final parcel of 10 million acres to the Federal Government it resulted in the assassination of the chief responsible, Chuquilatague, known as Doublehead. A rebellious faction under the leadership of Guwisguwi, known as John Ross, and Kahnungdatlageh (Major Ridge) took over determined not to cede any more land. They also gradually made some astounding cultural changes, introducing a constitution modeled after that of the United States as well as creating an elected tribal council as opposed to leadership by clan.

Unparalleled prosperity followed within 30 years. The Cherokees were soon able to boast well made homes, beautiful cultivated fields, and large herds of livestock. They invited Christian missionaries into their territory who taught them how to read. In almost no time the Cherokees became a literate people. They built schools, developed a court system, and published a newspaper named the "Cherokee Phoenix" in 1828. They copied colonial methods of home building, weaving and farming. Religious literature was translated into the new language created by Sequoyah, a Cherokee who aided the American Army in the Creek War of 1813-1814.

An inventory made in 1826 showed how successful the Cherokee had become: It listed "1,560 black slaves. 22,000 cattle, 7,600 horses, 46,000 swine, 2,500 sheep, 762 looms, 2,488 spinning wheels, 172 wagons, 2,942 plows, 10 sawmills, 31 grist mills, 62 blacksmith shops, 8 cotton machines, 18 schools, and 18 ferries."

But the good times would not last. Gold was found in Northern Georgia, white miners poured into the territories, President Andrew Jackson forced through the Indian Removal Act of 1830 ordering the Cherokee out of their lands. Through a terrible journey known as the "Trail of Tears" these eastern Cherokee were pushed into Oklahoma. There they united with previous settlers. Tensions between the "old" and "new" settlers erupted into civil war, but ultimately they were compelled by self interest to band together into the "Cherokee Nation".

Through the 1850s, the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma prospered, with the "new" settlers wealthy and prosperous, owning slaves. But most of the Cherokee Nation, especially the "old" settlers, were mostly non slave owning, and all of them were about to become pawns in the festering tensions between the north and south. In the summer of 1861, the Union army left the Indian Territory and the Confederate Army moved in. A treaty was signed by the Cherokee nation with the Confederates and this was to prove deadly to the Indians at the end of the war.

In the meantime, for the Indians as well as for the American soldiers who fought, it was often brother against brother. 3000 "New" settlers fought for the Confederacy, and about 1000 "Old" settlers fought for the Union. In the east, 400 North Carolina Cherokee fought a bitter war on behalf of the south as bushwhackers and guerilla fighters in the mountains of the region.

When all is said and done, the Cherokee nation lost more than 1/3 of its population during the Civil War. No side suffered correspondingly in the conflict, or came even close to experiencing those kinds of losses. Because they fought primarily on the losing side, they were treated harshly by the Union forces and never regained the prosperity they had prior to the Civil War. For the Cherokees, who in their history with the political and military forces of the United States Government fought against them, appeased them, made treaties with them and appealed to them, it was all in vain.

The Cherokee story is a sad mixture of selfishness, hostility, cruelty, deceit and theft. Yet today the Cherokee Nation has managed to become a powerful presence in northeastern Oklahoma, responsible for some 200,000 tribal members. With a good working relationship, at last, with the United States, the spirit that led the Cherokee Indians on the Trail of Tears still leads them today to a much more hopeful future.

Ghost Hunting


Ghost Hunting
Enjoy The Ghost Hunting Experience

The upsurge in popularity for ghost hunting and the paranormal in general has been spurred on by the massive number of reality shows and films that are made based on this same topic. Viewers are invited to witness paranormal goings on in various locations, some of them seemingly innocent and some of them steeped in local lore and carrying paranormal reputations. This popularity has spread out of the living room and away from the TV into the shape of amateur and professionally arranged ghost hunting trips.

The Location

Ghost hunting events tend to take place around historical buildings and locations because these are the ones with the longest history. Dungeons, castles, and even nuclear bunkers are also popular because of the atrocities and incidents that are believed to have occurred in them in the past.

Paranormal Weekends

As well as trips that last a couple of hours, it is also possible to enjoy paranormal weekends that give you a real insight into the paranormal goings on in a particular location. Weekends like this can also include some elements of education and learning the art of ghost hunting making them even more involved and informational.

The Guide

When choosing a ghost hunting event to go on, choosing one with a knowledgeable and skilful guide is also an important factor in ensuring that you get the most from the experience. Proper ghost hunting is an applied science and some of the best proponents have been studying the paranormal for ten, twenty, or even more years.

Corporate Entertainment And Events

As well as individuals and groups that are inquisitive of the paranormal, ghost hunting experiences can prove an excellent way to offer something unusual for a corporate event. Overnight investigations are especially popular and typically take place in some of the most haunted locations in the UK.

Memorable Parties And Occasions

Ghost hunting has become incredibly popular in recent years and not just on TV and in films, but for parties, experiences, and corporate events. Make any party, event, or occasion extra special and more memorable with a ghost hunting experience or a paranormal weekend.

Ghost of Micheal Jackson

Ghost of Micheal Jackson

Barack Obama told CBS, "There are certain people in our popular culture that just capture people's imaginations. And in death, they become even larger,"


There is a new spirit in the form of a ghost among us, and not just any spirit it's the ghost of Michael Jackson. Hundreds of millions of fans prepares and bid emotional farewell to the "King of Pop". In Los Angeles fans lined up in droves to be a part of a "star-studded" memorial of his tragic death. Michale Jackson still may have something else in mind before he finally leaves us.


Extraordinary people seem to always have a way of communicating with us.


Even before the memorial was over the spirit of Michale Jackson popped up in the national scene for everyone to view and although we all have inquiring minds it's unbelievable, still the unadulterated truth remains. The ghost was caught on tape from one of the largest networks in the world but one sighting was noticed by a small yet renowned, local award winning production company "Copperpoint Comm.(CC)".

One sighting was shown during a Larry King interview and another, July 3rd while watching an NBC-Dateline broadcast "Remember the Time", CC caught a picture and took a video of the ghost of Michel Jackson, they were astounded and sent them around. "I didn't see it at first," said owner K. Ohara "My editor did. Once she showed me it was clear". Being an editor it was natural she would be the first to see it, editors have a keen eye for this these type of filming phenomenons.

Ghost and spirits are not easy to capture on tape and it's more likely to be a timing issue, snap that shot one second too early and the ghost of Michale Jackson isn't there one second to late it's gone. This was not your normal ghost, it appeared long enough to be caught on video, imagine that Now some of us firmly believe in ghosts while some of us need more proof and there's those who cast doubt in the face of evidence and science, but we still all share a common knowledge of spirits that return or never leave us, that is they usually are here due to untidy affairs. The ghost of Michael Jackson may be no different than any other ghosts but it's likely that just like the superstar the ghost of Michael Jackson may also have super qualities and a message. Is Michael Jackson attempting to show us something through his spirit. Like they said at his funeral he'll live forever and ever and ever and ever....It was said at his memorial "he'll live forever and ever and ever and ever".... he probably will. This was a sad day for all.


"To be uplifted and by such a great soul I believe in my heart he will live forever".LP

What Are Residual Hauntings?






www.netplaces.com If the same apparition is seen over and over again, doing exactly the same thing, if the same sounds are heard at the same time of day, if the same scene plays out over and over again over a period of years or even centuries, it is a residual haunting. Also called energy remnants and memory imprint, the apparition in a residual haunting never interacts with onlookers, but rather seems totally oblivious to them. What Are Residual Hauntings? Perhaps residual hauntings are simply playbacks of past events. The apparitions involved may not even be actual spirits but just impressions or recordings of events that were so traumatic that they have become imprinted on the very materials of the space in which they occurred. There are many theories regarding residual hauntings. One of the first to offer a possible hypothesis of how residual hauntings occur was Thomas Charles Lethbridge, in his 1961 book Ghost and Ghoul. His theory is that just as audiotapes and videotapes record sounds and images, certain materials used in the construction of older structures may record impressions of events. If a traumatic, emotionally charged incident occurs, these materials record it for future playback. The event can suddenly occur and play out without an apparent cause. Sometimes there is no visual component to the event, only repetitive sounds, such as footsteps, breathing, or smells that have no apparent cause. No one knows what triggers the playback of these recordings. It ...

As the saying goes, a dog is man’s best friend- yet the interesting thing is that although we rely on our canine pets to see for those who can’t; to protect us against those who want to harm us; and to know who their owners are and to love them unconditionally, few of us really know what it is that they actually see on a day to day basis.

For people who take their pets to be a part of their families and lives, it is almost unbelievable that we would not take a wider interest in knowing what and how our pets see the world and how that differs from the human optical world. Knowing these differences may help people to better understand, love and view their furry friends.

While dogs cannot see as much detail as humans can, their field of vision happens to be wider because of the placement of their eyes. Therefore, although your dog may not pay the attention to detail that a human friend would, your dog will be able to spot an intruder far sooner than you would. In addition, dogs are ultra-sensitive to moving objects (and movement in general) and so, will spot any movement up to a mile away - this is precisely what makes them such an invaluable support for the blind and such excellent search and rescue companions (not to mention hunters). It is necessary to add that dogs could be considered far-sighted as their close-up vision is far inferior and they do not and cannot focus at close range and will generally see things as being fuzzy. They also do not have proper depth perception.

Another interesting fact is that while dogs do not have clear day vision, their night vision is far superior to humans. While we head off to the optometrist for glasses to wear at night - like while driving, a dog becomes an even better watch-dog when the sun sets.

Interestingly, in stark contrast to humans, one should know that a dog who becomes blind generally adapts well to his new condition as sight is least strong of his five senses, with smell and sound being the two strongest. Just as humans who become blind will need time to adjust, so too will a dog - they just do so quicker than their human masters. A noticeable similarity between dogs and humans is that both can note down failing eyesight as one of the downsides to the aging process.

For years now, the myth has circulated that dogs are completely color blind and cannot see or distinguish color at all. Studies have disproved this theory and shown that just as humans (mostly males) can be colorblind, and still detect some color, so can dogs. For canines, red and orange are generally the only two indistinguishable colors, while blue and yellow are the most distinguishable. Today, one would describe a dog as being red-green color blind.

Just like humans, dogs also face a possible host of eye problems and conditions - including cataract, pink eye, glaucoma, dry eye, tumors and infections - just to name a few. Moreover, just as humans need to visit their eye doctors when eye disease seems to be lurking; so too should they see to it that their dogs are afforded the same right. Sure signs that they are up for a veterinary visit include them rubbing their eyes, avoiding light and rubbing their faces on the ground. An excess of tears or red eyes are other tip offs.

Where we find solutions for our optical problems, the nature of a dog is to adapt accordingly and use his other senses as compensation. In the end, probably the greatest difference between the visual ability of humans and canines is that where humans have the simple solution of visiting their eye doctor, updating their eyeglasses prescription and choosing to buy glasses which will correct their visual inefficiencies, the same is not available for dogs.

Can The Crop Of The Future Be Found?


Can The Crop Of The Future Be Found?

1.Ecosystem theory.


2.Vine protection


Ecosystem theory


In order to understand what this theory really means, it is sufficient to follow both the traditional and current methods: plantations treated with synthetic substances (against biologic agents which attack culture plants), growth simulators, modified seeds, more resistant to fruit treatment for a better storage resistance and traditional culture with low quantity products.


As one can simply notice, all these have obviously react on the large scale health, in a way or another: those who got away easily had better conditions to diversify the alimentation or used different medication, supplements which attenuated the effect of that particular substances or they were helped by the genetic fond. Obviously, nowadays there is no hope for a better situation, the trends being of genetic seeds "strengthen" and acceleration of plant growth in order to supplement the demand with products which seems unaltered.

But we all sense the reverse, which can affect our metabolic control senses and body development: endocrine glands, with the increase of severe conditions as diabetes, cancer, senile dementia - Alzheimer with premature death.

Culture technology is relatively correct: for a certain number of years, a terrain must be planted with another crop - technique called crop rotation, which has the role to prevent the fast absorption of some soil substitute by a certain crop and also to destroy some specific biologic agents which consequently have no time to develop. In reality, the crop rotation technique is extremely difficult as it can not be precisely established which crop should be the next and the costs of changing to on microeconomic level are high in an area with low development degree.


Have you ever considered there would be something much simpler which can change completely the crop treating methods and which would also imply benefits? The answer is definitely positive, as many attempts were performed within the developed countries, reaching currently the ecologic crops.

These crops are not treated with chemical agents and are present in minimum pollution areas. Unfortunately, the current reality illustrates that these crops can be present only in unpolluted areas (very rare) and the benefits are not high, as the losses due to organisms which attack those plantations are numerous (in lack of chemical prevention). Likewise, the fruits alter more rapidly, not being covered by chemical substances.

In the current conception, the solution cannot be on large term a biologic crop.
Which can be the solution for the situation applicable at reduced costs even within the sub developed countries!? The answer is simpler than it seems: the ecosystem.


Crop ecosystem


Ecosystem denomination represents itself a biologic environment where all the biologic components are in harmony, in an unaltered, natural environment.


Here, all takes place in a form which belongs to the natural way of universe organization, ecological for the human part, where there are no elements given by the human destructive interference. This is the real ecological concept.


Still, from theory to practice, there is an apparently difficult road, but for the purpose of this crop model, there is an element not used up to present: habitual birds.


The birds represent the only real possibility to completely change the crop organization, which would create an ecologic environment without vast scientific and financial interventions. The answer is given by their capacity to exterminate the predators of large scale crops, without affecting the plantation. Well, you might say there are predators which barely appear, being to small or underground animals; so if you eliminate from the circuit a necessary intermediary chain link, as predators of surface crops - the favorite food for habitual birds - you will notice how the small predators also begin to disappear, which need the support of the others to develop in a large number.


Example:


French farmers built an artificial micro cave for bats, which led to a substantial profit increase after the appearance of these colonies.


We can continue in order to achieve spectacular results. The birds will not be present in any crop if they don't dispose of what they naturally need to shelter: trees. In this way, a culture can be mixed, having at certain distances row of fruit trees which will thus bring benefits. The benefits brought by fruit trees cultivation largely overpass the loss of a meter from the cultivated terrain, the crossed pollination does not intervene and the crop rotation can be performed without any loss! What can be best than no investment in health hazardous substances, also a stable revenue - the fruits emerge almost with no investment and the culture becoming ecological?


There is also another aspect that can be essential for a crop: water presence in the soil. During certain periods, lack of water can finally compromise a crop leading to irreparable losses in that particular year. The trees present in rows at well established distances maintain the water into soil for a long term, thus avoiding the risk of torrid period and reducing the investment in irrigation systems.


Example: Mixed plantation with rows of fruit trees. These maintain the water into soil, insure shadow areas and attract the habitual birds which maintain the crop by destroying the crop harmful agents.


There can be imagined helpful methods for different cultures: example the vine, which needs protection from rain and sun light, by dragging between the plastic foil intermediary pillars a kind of roof which wouldn't allow rain to drop directly on the plant, improving the crop (at this point, the author does not consider it a major problem).


Reminder: the human being would not be able to defeat by chemical methods the crop destructive agents, instead he will self destroy though secondary effects. Let's turn to the natural source capable of doing this.

Help Edit This Halloween Story?


Question by Denver: Help Edit This Halloween Story?
Ok I've been helping my little brother edit this story for class.
And now we're totally lost.
His teacher wants him to make a Halloween story.
Tell me if he needs to :
Add Something.
Delete Something.
Please try to remember he is only in 6th grade.
Its Not A Poem.
I'm writing it and I write weird. (:
Just tell me if it needs anything.
I'll tell him in some hours to fix it. (:
Don't tell me 'It's Fine'
He and I know it's not fine.
He said he needs more Dialogue

Here it begins :


It was a chilly, foggy night.
The moon was high.
The sky was dark.
All I could see were faint lights, and glowing from Halloween decorations in peoples lawn.

There were two people with me.
John, Jill, and me, George.
John, was Jill's little brother.
John was short and clumsy.
Jill was weird and creepy.
I am strand and funny.

We were all going trick or treating.
We were on a street we've never been on.
There were lots of houses with decorations of BIG pumpkins , and tiny pumpkins.
Haunted Houses flickered on and off.

I heard screaming, laughter, and music.
I smelt pumpkins, candy, and popcorn.
Kids, passing by with pillow cases ful of candy.

One hour later we were done...
All the houses were done.

"How do we get out of this place?" John said tiredly.

"I know a short cut!" Jill said

"Lets go then," I intisapated

Jill lead us down to the woods

It was so dark that we had too use glow sticks.
It was so dark we couldn't even see ourselves.

"We're lost!" John said.
"No we're not." Jill said angerly.

She was right.
She knew the woods very well.

We walked around and around.
Trying to find a way to get out.
We stumbled and fell on roots.
The crunching of leaves, and twigs under out feet.
The pitter patter of animals feet.

Twent - some minutes later, the glow sticks ran out.
We were now lost!
We had no way to get out of the woods.
I looked in the back of me, glowing like, lights.
Very faint.

Look," I said surrprisingly. "Lights everywhere!"

Maybe there are people," Jill said "They could help us get out."

We were trying to get closer and closer.
After we were about three feet, we heard fimiliar voices, voices we knew.

"SHHH!"

....

I heard, I turned around and saw Jill and John shrugging.

After the 'shhh' the lights went out. I was scared.

"What do we do?" Jill whispered.

"Well, we still can go near the light that was there." I replied

We all walkedd toward it.
As we moved the small branches infront of us, everone jumped out.

"Surprise!!"

Jill, John, and I fell to out feet.
Everyone there were our friends.
It was a Halloween Party.
I saw Ghost, Vampires, Zombiess, Fairys.
The weirdest one I saw was the Burger King Man.

After about an hour.
Everone was gone.
It was empty.

this time we knew out way back.
The Halloween Party was on our street.

We said out 'Good Byes' and 'This was the best halloween ever' with a sack of candy on our back.
And we went out opposite ways.

The End.
It's sopose to be spelled wrong.
It's a kids book.

Zombie Dream after asking and answering zombie questions?


Question by WOO WOO WOO! YOU KNOW IT!: Zombie Dream after asking and answering zombie questions?
Last night after looking up cryptozoology "study of weird animals" i went to bed. I had a dream where i was driving my moms car even though im 15 and everything was abandoned with flyers on walls saying "head to the safe zone" so i drive 20 miles to my friends house after a conversation about whats going on i hear moaning....so my friends mom even though they live in a trailer took me into a shelter.They had three handguns,10 big boxes of ammo, a few cots,food,and somehow a water fountain (the ones you drink out of). There was pounding on the celler door and my friend answered it and a zombie came at her and bit her my friends mom took a sawed off shotgun she had and shot its head off she then shockingly enough says "Sorry" and blows her head off no remorse at all.So then after staring at the body she says we have to go and we travel into the Adirondacks which we go to every year with them and some other friends. We go into my camp and wait upstairs,then all of a sudden a Zombie Like Black Bear jumps through the window and I fall 1 story onto the ground on my head.I wake up and my friends mom is dead with the bear next to her.I run into the woods with the shotgun and 3 zombies chase after me,I trip on a log and shoot which attracts more zombies and finally before i die i wake up.Whats this all about?

i always have dreams of this place, until i saw the picture i had never seen i before.?


Question by be nice, i like to report people: i always have dreams of this place, until i saw the picture i had never seen i before.?
i had 4+ dreams of this place: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:London_Temple_Church.JPG without ever seeing it until i found this pic after the dreams. 1 was that i had a sort of mission and got there by flying......on a potter-type broom..lol....... after that was a field trip from school where we learned that some parts of the castle were haunted and we heard "demonic" voices & i said "i remember this place!" later 1 was that i couldn't fly but other people could, and they made fun of me. then some white birds(possibly doves) took me and flew me there, and i was being watched by some scary person on the ground in front of the castle...the most resent was that there were trees attacking my summer camp. the ghosts were mad at us and told trees to throw fire at us. while we were putting out the fire on the road (by throwing sticks/twigs/branches at it) a bunch of people ran up to a field in front of a building where outside everyone (mostly adults) were talking about what to do, then someone shouted something lie "hurry, the doors are opening" and the wall started to slide open. someone was holding my hand and said to someone else we should go where the trees cant see us (she looked/talked like aunt jackie from Roseanne lol) she ran to the "IN" (it looked like this http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:London_Temple_Church.JPG ) and she was so fast that i was waving in the air behind her (LOL) then when we got there i saw the sign that said "IN" & freaked out like, "no, no, no, not here, i just had a flash back" (took a while to get the word, flash back) then we were inside and went up to a balcony where a guy that looked like a pope holding a golden Cross with 2 (fake) birds attached to it (also gold) came over and said something like "i heard what she said about flashbacks" and he talked about how i was probably kidnapped by "the birds" and brought there. unfortunately i woke up and wasn't able to finish this awesome/scary dream. (What do you people think of it!?)
the cross kind of looked like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gillianam/3075225470/ but only had the 2 birds at the top and they were attatched with a curved bar.
(Im a Christian, and its a Christian camp)

Question by Krayor: Watch "Legend of the Chupacabra" Online?
I used to own a movie called "Legend of the Chupacabra". I don't have it anymore and I'm trying to find it online to watch. I would truly prefer not to order a copy, so does anyone know where I can actually watch it? All I can find are reviews. It's from about 1996 and stars Stan McKinney I believe. I would greatly appreciate it, thanks.

Miss NY Contestant Wants To Have Dinner With Hitler

DNAinfo profiled the 13 New York City women competing for the Miss New York crown this weekend in Westchester. The questions and answers range from the harmless:



DNAinfo: "What do you prefer: Bikini, Monokini, or one-piece swimwear?"

Marquita Johnson of Prospect Heights/Park Slope: "I love bikinis!"



To the genuine:



DNAinfo: What makes you blush?

Tonic Joyce Taylor of Jamaica: I blush when young girls come to me (or message me on Facebook and Twitter) telling me how much I inspire them to chase their dreams...



To the bizarre, from a a 21-year-old City College student studying political science and Jewish studies :



DNAinfo: If you could have dinner with anyone, who would it be & why?

Merlix Ventura of Washington Heights: "Hitler because I am intrigued by the Holocaust and I would love to know his reasoning for genocide. If it was a person from our time, I would say Charles Barron because I would like to know what motivates him to be so active with the community."



As Noreen Malone notes, "Pretty sure it was 'he was a completely evil sociopath who hated Jews,' Merlix." And as for Charles Barron, you may know him as the City Councilman who eulogized slain Libyan dictator Moammar Gaddafi. But hey! It's your dinner Merlix!



To all the Gotham contestants headed up to Westchester for this weekend's competition, a hearty good luck from HuffPost New York. You all will be going up against some strange, heady competition from Laura Hajek of Glens Falls:

Coast To Coast AM - 21.9.2011 - 1/4 - Peak Oil / Saudi Arabia & 9/11






MP3 www.4shared.com Guests: Richard Heinberg, Craig Hulet Peak Oil: In the first half of the program, leading educator on Peak Oil, the point at which we reach maximum global oil production, Richard Heinberg, talked about the devastating impact it will have on our economic, food, and transport systems. Heinberg speculated that the world is either at this point or "very close to it," because "high prices and increasing demands don't seem to be budging supply very much." He said that the dire straits of oil production can also be seen in how energy companies have exhausted the easier "low hanging fruit" reserves and are now faced with extracting oil with increasingly more expensive, slow, and environmentally hazardous locations and means. Beyond just oil, Heinberg warned that other forms of fuel are also in danger of reaching their peak. On a local level, he explained that merely producing a meal requires extensive use of gas to transport the food, coal powered electricity to refrigerate it, and natural gas to cook it. This current journey from farm to plate, he said, requires a staggering 7 to 10 calories of fossil fuel energy for every 1 calorie of food consumed. At the point where the world reaches peak oil, Heinberg foresees a gradual decline in production that will cause a panic from the financial systems around the globe. In order to better prepare for this grim future, Heinberg suggested that the United States begin training people to manufacture and repair goods as ...








MP3 www.4shared.com Guests: Robert Zimmerman, Open Lines Climategate: Filling in for George Noory, John B. Wells hosted space historian Robert Zimmerman, in the first half of the program, for a discussion about Climategate and other science-related issues. Zimmerman contended that Climategate was the "perfect example" of scientists distorting data to come to conclusions that were preferable to their research community. He pointed to money as the key factor which drove Climategate, since climate research is fueled by multi-billion dollar grants issued from various governments around the world. Additionally, Zimmerman surmised that misplaced "good intentions" have clouded the judgement of climate researchers who are adamant that global warming is an imminent danger to the planet. Regarding the aftermath of the controversy, Zimmerman lamented that, rather than punish the scientists involved in the disputed findings, the research community "spent the next two years whitewashing those scientists that had committed that fraud." He called this turn of event the "biggest tragedy" of the scandal, since it undermines the public trust in not only the climate research community, but also the scientific establishment as a whole. Chillingly, Zimmerman warned that, in light of our culture's overhwelming reliance on science as a foundation for human knowledge, "if we don't trust our scientists or they become untrustworthy, then we're in big trouble." Going forward, Zimmerman shared some ...

TERRIFYING VIDEO: Bungee Jumper's Cord Snaps In Freak Accident

"I think it's definitely a miracle that I survived," a bungee jumper said after her cord snapped during a 111-metre nosedive into an African river.



Erin Langworthy, a 22-year-old Australian, bungee jumped head-first from the Victoria Falls Bridge into the Zambezi River on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia on New Year's Eve, Australia's Channel 9 reports. Fellow tourists cheered Langworthy on when she jumped, but when the cord snapped in two, plunging Langworthy into the river, one exclaimed, "She's in the fucking water!"



Langworthy recalls the harrowing experience: "It went black straight away and I felt like IĆ¢??d been slapped all over."



After she hurtled into the crocodile-infested water, her bungee cord, still attached to her feet, had gotten caught on debris.



"I actually had to swim down and yank the bungee cord out of whatever it was caught into," she said.



Langworthy swam to Zimbabwe's side of the Zambezi, where she met rescuers. She spent a week in a South African hospital with a broken collar bone and bruising, but luckily escaped without any life-threatening injuries, the Telegraph reported.



The tourism company that organized the jump, Safari Par Excellence, calls the jump "111 metres of pure adrenalin."
