"(Authorities will) be on bike, they'll be on foot, and you'll see them deployed at various sectors throughout the downtown," Salem Mayor Kim Driscoll told the television station. "But we'll also have folks positioned who may not be as visible, just keeping an eye on things and monitoring the situation."
Salem police posted on Facebook this week a warning to potential visitors saying not to bring any replica weapons or face arrest. *************************

It will be a good moon on All Hallow's Eve, approximately 75% full. I think that we should at times use the term "All Hallows Eve" to remind ourselves that this indeed is truly a holiday ("Holy Day")... a real Holiday. It can be a holiday for any fun seekers, Christians, Pagans, and of course Satanists... who just couldn't come up with any original holidays of their own!
Tales of Halloween Of course, on TV there are many horror flicks--old and new--airing every evening nearing Hallloween. One 2015 horror film, which I haven't seen, but is apparently good is entitled 'Tales of Halloween'. I came across it by searching an interesting actress named Tiffany Shepis, who is in this movie as well as many horror films going back a few years. Sometimes to find those horror gems, you can just search certain names like Bill Moseley who always plays the crazies! Tales of Halloween is a 2015 American horror comedy film anthology consisting of ten interlocking segments. The film had its world premiere on July 24, 2015, at the Fantasia International Film Festival. It was released in a limited release and through video on demand on October 16, 2015, by Epic Pictures. 'Tales of Halloween' is available online at the following link: http://putlocker.io/watch/PGpeyqd3-tales-of-halloween.html

Fall/Halloween wreath ideas I have had a few ideas about making fall/Halloween seasonal wreaths. Such as maybe painting a solid type wreath black, and then painting one some orange and purple; and perhaps gluing a little skull, black/purple rose,or jack-o-lantern inside. The "death" symbolism actually can reflect the "death of the sun" as winter approaches. The hobby and craft store "Michaels" is a step above the rest. They could almost charge admission just to walk through there during this season! *************************
Bivouac of the Dead "Bivouac of the Dead" is a poem written by Danville, Kentucky native, Theodore O'Hara to honor his fellow soldiers from Kentucky who died in the Mexican-American War. The poem increased its popularity after the Civil War, and its verses have been featured on many memorials to fallen Confederate soldiers in the Southern United States, and are even to be found on many memorials in Arlington National Cemetery, including Arlington's gateway. A couple of weeks back, while visiting Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno, California, I saw a plaque with this poem. It seems especially relevant to the season; of remembering ancestors and the dead. I think you could apply the meaning to any past battle in which your ancestors or whomever else had fought.
'Bivouac of the Dead' By Theodore O'Hara The muffled drum's sad roll has beat The soldier's last tattoo; No more on life's parade shall meet That brave and fallen few. On flame's eternal camping-ground Their silent tents are spead, And Glory guards, with solemn round, The bivouac of the dead.

What is a "Nittany Lion"..? It refers to the mountain lions that are thought to have once roamed Mount Nittany, a local landmark. Mountain lions had roamed on nearby Mount Nittany until the 1880s. The origin of the name "Mount Nittany" is obscure, the most commonly accepted explanation being that it is derived of Native American words (loosely pronounced as "neet-a-nee") named after the cougars that roamed the mountain or "single mountain" - a protective barrier against the elements.[citation needed]. The "original" nittany lion can be seen in the Penn State All-Sports Museum as the only known mounted eastern mountain lion. It was killed in Susquehanna County by Samuel Brush in 1856. According to a July 1992 article in National Geographic by Maurice Hornocker titled "Learning to Live with Mountain Lions", "Courthouse records from Centre County, Pennsylvania, show that one local hunter killed 64 lions between 1820 and 1845. During those 25 years an estimated 600 cats were killed in that county alone." Nittany Lion Nittany Lion Shrine Mount Nittany Perhaps the university could bring a mountain lion up to the peak, under proper supervision, just for a photo-op? Maybe even put a little blue powder on its fur. Then there could finally "officially" be a "Nittany Lion"... maybe even a blue one. *************************
Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Lyrics The Dude
Engish "Tudor Rose" Guido von List used illustrations of five-petaled flowers to symbolize the Vehmic concept, which is the same as the Pentagram of Witchcraft (Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit). Although the Tudor Rose is tied to entirely different symbolism, it is also interesting that there are three sets of petals. This could applied to represent the Tri-Goddess associated with the Vehmic principle. Five-petaled flowers are also tied to perceived symbolism of the ancient "sub rosa" concept. *************************

'Experts Divided Over 'Big Cat' in MS' CoastToCoastAM.com - October 13, 2017 A Mississippi man was left scratching his head when he spotted what appears to be a massive black cat walking through a field and even experts can't agree on what he saw. The strange encounter took place as David Sluder was pulling into a Wendy's restaurant in the city of Hernando and noticed something amiss in the distance. After initially thinking that perhaps he was watching a deer or a coyote, he realized that the creature was actually a very large cat. Having never seen such a thing before, Sluder smartly took out his cellphone and captured some footage of the big cat stalking through some tall grass. "That is an absolutely enormous ... something over there," he marvels in the video, "I mean it's a cat, but this thing is gigantic." According to Sluder, he was around 75 to 100 yards away from the creature when he filmed it, which may provide some perspective on the feline's size. The nature of the 'big cat' is apparently the source of some controversy in the state as different officials and departments have expressed wildly different opinions. An expert with the Mississippi Department of Wildlife was quick to dismiss the mystery feline as simply a house cat and asserted that the pointed shape of the creature's ears confirmed that conclusion. However, the city and county animal control offices beg to differ, saying that the creature is the much more dangerous mountain lion and are currently on the lookout for the 'big cat.' With reports of similar ferocious felines occurring in this general region of the country in recent years, it's not entirely impossible that Suder's sighting could have simply been the latest encounter. One way in the mystery may be solved is if someone steps forward to identify the creature as merely their pet cat who has been feasting on Friskies for far too long. Source: GrindTV
************
I believe that it's a large mountain lion, as they are known to weigh as much as 300 pounds. The dark color could be explained by the tree and the position of the sun. Although it looks as if the cat is beyond the shadow of the tree, it's still within the shadow of its peak. Also, some mountain lions can have darker fur. A few years ago in the Carolinas, there were reports of a "monster" taking away numerous dogs and cats in a particular area. It ended up being a "Florida panther" (mountain lion) which had migrated there in search of new hunting grounds. The "black panther" folklore in the UK is compelling due to the clear photographs and video evidence.

Does anyone remember Adam Walsh, the little boy who was kidnapped from his now famous father, back in 1981? The only thing found of him was his severed head. The killer, Otis Toole, admitted to the murder, only before retracting it. Nevertheless, he admitted that he was part of this secret organization called "The Hand of Death," which was a satanic cult that cannabalized and killed. Viscious serial killer, Henry Lee Lucas, was Toole's accomplice, and also was involved in the cult. From David McGowan's Programmed to Kill: "Lucas claimed that he was trained by a nationwide satanic cult in a mobile paramilitary training camp in the Florida Everglades.... Henry further claimed the leaders of the camp were so impressed with his handling of a knife that he was allowed to serve as an instructor. Following his training, Henry claimed that he served the cult in various ways, including as a contract killer and as an abductor of children , whom he delivered to a ranch in Mexico near Juarez. Once there, they were used in the production of child pornography and for ritual sacrifices." Some of the crimes, he said, were committed under orders from the Satanic cult, the Hand of Death, who recruited them to help out with the human sacrifices. "They takea live girl and put her on the table and split her open and take all of her organs out," he told police, adding that sometimes they would take the entrails and put them in a pot and cooked 'em. The Hand of Death has also been mentioned by Charles Manson and New York's infamous Son of Sam as the true masterminds behind their crimes."
From Max Call's Hand of Death, In the book Henry tells of his indoctrination into a nationwide Satanic cult, and says that he was trained by the cult in a mobile paramilitary camp in the Florida Everglades in the fine art of killing. Other training involved abduction and arson techniques. The first task he was given was the murder of one of the "students," a young black homosexual who had betrayed his oath to the Devil. He slit the man's throat and later that same evening, a Satanic ritual was performed in which the dead man's heart was cut out, his blood drained, and his body dismembered. All of the initiated members of the Hand drank the dead man's blood and ate pieces of his flesh. The remains of the body were then burned at an altar. There were several hundred students at the Hand of Death training camp, coming from six different countries; over half of them were women. The camp provided unlimited access to all kinds of drug taking, which was encouraged recreational activity. Liquor was available, and after evening ritualistic sacrifices, there would be a drug/sex orgy involving all of the campers. The daytime part of the program included a full curriculum of training courses in murder, rape, car theft, drug trafficking, and every other form of organized criminal activity. con't....

Guilt by false perception These types of groups give real Neopagans, especially small groups who like to carry out positive energy rituals in remote locations under the moon at night, a bad name. The whole thing is like an exercise in dangerous and false role-playing. Modern Satanists, generally speaking, simply pretend that the "Burning Times" had something to do with them. In other words, that they were actually the victims of it. They were not. Modern Christians also pretend basically the same false concept. Actually, the Satanic tradition came right out of heretical Christians groups in the Middle Ages. These groups carried out rituals so profane that I cannot even give any short summary here in print. As a result, two false items were established: 1) These profane Christian sects were conflated with native European spiritual traditions and put under the label of "Satanism"; and 2) The mainstream Christian perception of "Satanism" actually evolved into a real movement which was literally born from the power of suggestion! Now all malcontents had a real underground movement which they could latch themselves onto and express themselves. I have not heard of any Satanic group which simply wants to bring back the powerful ancient Saturnian traditions from the Phoenicians and other ancient cultures. They just glomed onto the wheel of the year and other old pagan traditions, as the Christians also did. Do you see how insane this all is? The "cult of Saturn" is an absurdly eclectic movement, revolving mostly around Saturnian symbolism (the god "EL"), which has been able to take over organized crime within the highest levels of global societies (banking; corporatocracy; national politics; media; entertainment). Think of it like the old Medici dynasty in Tuscany. They originally came from a small remote Tuscan village, and migrated to Florence where they established themselves in banking and commerce. At the point where they had risen to the top, they still maintained some dangerous groups back in that small village; just as the top Satanic people in banking and corporations maintain their "co-religionists" in groups like the "Hand of Death." This is because the loyalty factor is there. Even top people in the Sicilian mafia or similar secret societies, even if they've grown soft in some ways, of course maintain clans of young men on a small scale who are willing to do anything they ask. It's the same basic principle, "young men doing the dirty work for old men".... the murders, sabotage, propaganda, etc. Think of all of the hundreds of murders and mysterious deaths tied to the Bush and Clinton families. Shadowy people at the top ordered those murders to protect their "middle management" people, and assassins from groups like the Hand of Death carry them out. And to think that some tiny insignificant Neopagan coven or hearth merely wishes to connect with their ancestors and the harmonious energies of nature. We could claim that their age old struggle has nothing to do with us, but they've forced it to have something do with us! It's crazy.
************ "Magic" is entertainment, and not the same thing as metaphysical/spiritual "Magick"; however perhaps there is some conflation? This video is obviously from a Christian perspective, but there is some clear Satanic imagery and symbolism. Now is it just part of the act?
On a side note, Criss Angel had a very popular TV program for years. He was already quite wealthy, and was basically a free agent. Doesn't it seem a bit strange that he gave this up to sign an eleven year contract with Cirque du Soleil to perform something like six nights a week? I know it's the most popular show in Vegas, and he's made a ton of money from it, but it just seemed suffocating where he was unable to act as a free agent and be as creative. The contract ends in two more years. I'm just saying that he was so visible to the public when he was on TV and probably the subject of a lot of water cooler talk. That type of continuous public exposure was peripherally worth a lot of money too. He may be the greatest entertainer in the world. He's more dynamic in his approach and delivery than other magicians. He was almost like an athlete in many of his demonstrations to the point where he collapsed from exhaustion afterwards, and I believe that it was genuine.

MILAN (AP) — The presidents of Italy's wealthy northern regions of Veneto and Lombardy on Sunday claimed victory in autonomy referendums that seek to grab additional powers and tax revenue from Rome, riding a global tide of self-determination that has swamped Spain's Catalonia region.
The votes were nonbinding, but the leaders of the neighboring regions hope to leverage strong turnout in talks with Italy's center-left government. As leading members of the anti-migrant, anti-EU Northern League, they want to keep more tax revenue and have autonomy over such policy areas as immigration, security, education and environment.
"This is the big bang of institutional reform," Veneto President Luca Zaia said in Venice. "We are convinced, and I hope Rome understands, that this is not the wish of a political party. These are the wishes of the people."
In Milan, his counterpart in Lombardy, Roberto Maroni, said that with the votes, the two regions "can unify our forces so we can do the battle of the century." The two leaders say they will meet with their regional councils to finalize their requests before going to Rome to meet with Premier Paolo Gentiloni.
Unlike in Catalonia, the referendums do not seek independence and were approved by Italy's constitutional court. Still, the autonomy drive is a powerful threat to Rome's authority. Together, Veneto and Lombardy account for 30 percent of Italy's GDP and nearly one-quarter of the nation's electorate.
Maroni said an overwhelming 95 percent of his region's vote went to "yes," with turnout above 40 percent of Lombardy's 8 million voters. That far exceeded the bar for success that he set at 34 percent, which was the turnout for a national referendum on constitutional reform in 2001.
Independence-minded Veneto easily met a turnout threshold to validate the vote set by Zaia, with some 60 percent of the region's 4 million voters casting ballots. According to early returns, 98 percent voted "yes."
"It is said that blood is thicker than water. It is what defines us, binds us, curses us. For some, blood means a life of wealth and privilege. For others, a life of servitude." -- Barnabas Collins in the opening scene of the film 'Dark Shadows' (England 1760)
Right up until America established itself as a supreme world power, most of the world was ruled by deep-rooted semi-despotic aristocratic systems. Systems in which nation states, and right down to small rural impoverished territories, were dominated by a privileged few based on their direct family lineage. These systems conflated with the power bases of a society; generally monarchy, religion, banking, economics, and the institution of law. Once established, it was extremely difficult to wrestle power from their powerful grip. It should be noted that many of these aristocracies became disgenic and inbred over time.... aka "genetically unfit" in the eyes of nature. False evolutionary struggle. Underneath these established choke points of a nation were the aristocracy of large cities which ruled over the provinces. For example, the Brescian Council of the Middle Ages was clearly a regional aristocratic oligarchy. There were too many aristocratic families involved to be considered a monarchy; however, for example, the fine reputation of your great-grandfather was literally a requirement for membership. That is not an exaggeration. In fact, certain legal and necessary businesses were shunned because they were just too dirty or harsh in their activities. Are we so much better today? Many snobby urban "intellectual" conservatives and liberals totally dismiss "farmers" or people who merely live in rural areas as somehow "beneath them." Even within an impoverished rural province, such as the Swiss Canton of Ticino in the nineteenth century, who your father was dictated your upward advancement in that society. Not surprisingly, after living generations amid that type of social restriction, Ticinese immigrants became very industrious in capitalist-friendly California, Australia, or Britain. Capitalism can be either a blessing or a curse within this concept; although more often it removed the invisible shackles of aristocracy. If not kept in check however, it can coalesce into an oligarchic defacto-aristocracy with bloodline merely replaced by money.
Communist dictatorships create a type of aristocracy even more than Capitalism does, because it will always be the few ruling over the many. "The intellectuals" who led the revolution now become the new dictators.... usually worse than the old ones. Cubans in south Florida dominate many of those economies, but only after initially living under a Communist dictatorship. Even to use a religious example, the Mullahs who now rule Iran are at least just as despotic as when the Shah was in charge. The Shah was only brutal towards anyone who opposed him, the Mullahs are full on religious tyrants.
Digressing to the original concept of "aristocracy" based on the bloodline, those family bloodlines have a terrible track record in terms of how they treat the people of their own culture. In other words, their concept of a bloodline ends outside of their monarchical circle. This has been proven time and time again, over centuries. In my opinion, it was their very worst trait! At times, they acted almost as though they hated their people. Only during times of war did the scoundrels start talking "we and us." I think that can hold equally true in Capitalism, Communism, monarchies, and religion. Outside of the realms of the usual aristocratic suspects, native folkways provide for a love of one's people and the land. Although one can find some historical elements of brutality, much more often they displayed the qualities of 1) love for one's people, love for the land, love for animals, the divine masculine (law), the divine feminine (justice), and fairness; and 2) respect for nature's laws, including accepting the concept of evolutionary struggle and the necessity of defending their communities.
Law and justice worked together! Everyone within a community was cared and looked after; however if someone was destructive upon their society, there would be consequences. Pulling one's weight to their ability was a requirement. People like the Koch Brothers or George Soros wouldn't last very long. Activities which would harm society would not be tolerated in the tribal-minded society. Had those societies been allowed to ascend in the world, there wouldn't be poisoned water from fracking or sex parades in front of children.
If patriarchal societies based on wealth, aristocracy, and Abrahamic religion is "traditionalism," then ancestral folkways represent "radical traditionalism." Aristocracy wasn't "bloodline" as much as just greedy selfish families in control. Folkways are the love of one's people and respect for nature's laws. The real struggle isn't "Left vs Right," which are just two expressions of the same thing ("opposames"), but the aristocratic mindset vs. the ancestral folkways... true opposites. I think mankind is at it's best when we are energetically humble. Not the disempowering type of humble, but the type of humble such as when someone is a gracious guest. I'm enriched when raccoons, foxes, skunks, hawks, and owls come out've the nearby mountains and woods and travel across the hillside where I reside. I like that I can share the earth with them, while still understanding and respecting nature's laws and evolutionary struggle.
I don't think we are served best when society attempts to make us "totally safe." I like to hear coyotes howling in the darkness of a nearby canyon at night. Awhile back I saw all sorts of white feathers outside my window. Several ravens were attacking and killing a sea gull. Nature is both beautiful and harsh. We are part of that.
One common feature amid the sewer of modern politics is a prevailing attitude that "everything is about ME!!" We're a good fifty years into the era of bad people making decisions for us, so I would have some sympathy for that problem; but everything is not about us. We already had it right thousands of years ago. Nobody can explain why technology is rising so fast, but not as fast as IQ scores are plummeting! People are being killed walking into heavy traffic, across train tracks, or off of cliffs because they can't take their eyes off of their devices. Everything is completely out've balance in human society. .
The Lombard autonomy referendum of 2017 will take place on 22 October in Lombardy, Italy.
The poll is not binding, but might have consequences in terms of negotiations between the Italian government and Lombardy as the regional government will ask for more devolved powers if the "Yes" wins. Also neighbouring Veneto will hold a similar referendum on 22 October. Both President of LombardyRoberto Maroni and President of Veneto Luca Zaia are members of Lega Nord and, more specifically, of Lega Lombarda and Liga Veneta, respectively. *************************

MILAN (AP) — Referendums that seek greater autonomy for two of Italy’s most prosperous regions have the potential to join the Brexit campaign and the Catalonia independence vote in changing the face of Europe, Lombardy president Roberto Maroni said Friday.
Speaking to reporters, he stressed that the goal is not to secede from Rome.
Voters in the Northern League-governed regions of Lombardy and Veneto will decide Oct. 22 if they want their presidents to claim powers from Rome, as already granted in varying measures to five other Italian regions. The referendums will come shortly after voters in the Spanish region of Catalonia are to decide on independence from Spain and as Britain negotiates its exit from the European Union.
Maroni said one of his primary aims is to retain half of the 54 billion euros ($64 billion) in tax revenue from Lombardy that goes to Rome each year, something that could be achieved with a change of law. But the former interior minister also wants control over security and migration, which would require harder-to-win constitutional changes.
“My ambition is to create in Lombardy a model of excellence, security and control of the territory,” Maroni said. “It is a very ambitious project. But it is not that I just want some additional competencies. I want to change history, and this referendum gives me the possibility.” [Left: Party flag of Lega Lombarda. Lega Lombarda ("Lombard League"), whose complete name is Lega Lombarda–Lega Nord ("Lombard League–Northern League"), is a regionalist political party active in Lombardy.]
While the Italy votes are non-binding, Maroni said he and Veneto president Luca Zaia will travel to Rome the next day to begin talks with Premier Paolo Gentiloni, with their demands corresponding to the strength of the vote.
"I hope that the government will be willing (to negotiate), because it would not be against the governors, but against the people," Maroni said.
He said he wants to use any popular impulse demonstrated in the vote to seek greater regionalization within the European Union while respecting national borders. He cited a pan-Alpine region established last year that gives the mountainous area across seven nations the power to negotiate directly with Brussels on limited topics and seek direct financing for projects.
“I am not against Europe. I am for a different Europe. What we call Europe of the people, or Europe of regions,” Maroni said. “I think that the push that will come from our referendum, from Brexit and from Catalonia, all go in that direction.” .
Solar Stones of the Goths - Gotland Survive the Jive The famous picture stones of Gotland are like Viking rune stones from Scandinavia, but they have pictures and fewer runes. The themes and images depicted on them developed over the Iron Age and into the Viking Age. Originally they seem to have pertained to some kind of Indo-European solar cult involving horses, but later stones have more familiar figures from Norse mythology. Early stones could have served as grave monuments which may explain the solar iconography focusing on the eternal solar cycles. There are many images relating to death - including sleipnir, the sacrifice, battles and possibly valknutl. Cremation graves sometimes found at foot of stones. I also explain that Gutasaga records Gotland as the homeland of the Goths and that the nation was founded by Tjelvar, servant of Thor, whose grave I visit. It is a stone ship setting.

Joe Roth - 40 years later From FindAGrave biography: In the spring of 1975, Joe Roth, a 19 year old transfer student from Grossmont College in San Diego, enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley. Joe hoped to earn a degree, meet new people, and learn more about himself. In his two short years at Cal, Joe accomplished so much more. Joe was a quiet, down to earth guy who was dedicated to his school work. He was a Physical Education major who would have blended in perfectly with the general student body if not for one major difference, the golden right arm attached to his body. His arrival on the Cal campus was not by coincidence. Joe was a quarterback recruited from Grossmont to play football. And play football he did! On 22 Fall Saturday's during the 1975 and 1976 seasons, Joe crafted his quarterbacking skills, became a Heisman Trophy contender, and dazzled NFL scouts. Joe's on-field presence and leadership skills won over his teammates while his gentle demeanor and team-first attitude captured not only the hearts of Cal football fans but of an entire University campus. Joe was the face of the Cal football team and he elegantly represented the ideals of a student-athlete by excelling in both the classroom and on the field. In January 1977, while preparing for the Hula Bowl, a post-season all-star game in Honolulu, HI, Joe revealed publicly for the first time that he was again suffering from cancer (melanoma). Unbeknownst to most of his friend, fans, teammates, and classmates, Joe had battled cancer once before. While no one really knows for sure when the cancer returned, it is believed Joe played the 1976 season knowing something was different. Silently and unknowingly during the 1976 season, the gridiron became much more than a football field for Joe. The gridiron became Joe's classroom and on Saturdays Joe taught his teammates, classmates, friends, fan, and family members just what it meant to cherish life. Joe was determined to live his life without pity, excuses, blame, and special attention. His teammates later said that Joe showed everyone how to face adversity with faith, humility, and courage and how to never give up. On February 19, 1977, just three months from his 22nd birthday, Joe lost his battle to cancer and we lost a friend, a son, a brother, a teammate, a classmate, a hero, a role-model, and an outstanding human being. And yet, while we lost, we also gained a clear example on how to embrace adversity, to live life to the fullest, and to never give up. Twenty five months after stepping onto the Berkeley campus Joe's journey was complete. He arrived as a student and ultimately left a teacher. ************ This story would be just as powerful if Joe Roth had been a third stringer, but for all we know he could have ended up the greatest quarterback of all time.

"Universal access to all knowledge" website The old Christian Science reading room building in San Francisco was sold in 2009 to the Internet Archive. The stated goal of this non-profit organization is "universal access to all knowledge" though it's website, which apparently has archived over 400 billion texts and media. The organization chose the church based on its Greek Revival design, which resembles the logo of the Internet Archive. I ran into it just by accident as I was reading up on Christian Science just out've curiosity, and it led me to the archive. Just from a few searches, it's very substantial; and in some ways a better search than google. Internet Archive website *************************
Cub Scouts I was a Cub Scout when I was a kid. In hindsight I would have liked to have remained in it I think, eventually to a Boy Scout. Children and teens often don't have all that much choice; someone is always telling them what they ought to be doing. Often the push is into sports, as with myself. I had a friend whose father had all six children learn to play the piano, model, and partake in the theater department. I'm just wondering... who was it really for? For me it was the sports thing. I enjoyed competing, but wasn't much for fitting into a pack of random boys. I could have really lived without it, and did other things that interested me, such as scouting. *************************

Walkabout (1970's) FunFilm Mix Classic Oz film about a sister and a brother left in the desert to fend for themselves .. ************ I remember seeing the 1971 UK/Australian film 'Walkabout' on TV when I was a child, and it struck me as a powerful movie at that age. I remember having a crush on the 18 or 19 year old Jenny Agutter. I truly felt like it was a true fight for survival, and with the mysterious Aboriginal friend leading the way. The film quality and its cinematography really hold up today. This is the full movie, and that channel has many full movies; mostly forgotten TV films. Sometimes you can find a real gen in the mix. ************************* Quote "The government was set to protect man from criminals--and the Constitution was written to protect man from the government." -- Ayn Rand *************************

Dracula's Daughter (1936) Dracula's Daughter tells the story of Countess Marya Zaleska, the daughter of Count Dracula and herself a vampire. Following Dracula's death, she believes that by destroying his body she will be free of his influence and can live as a human. With the aid of her manservant, Sandor (Irving Pichel), she steals Dracula's body from Scotland Yard and ritualistically burns it, hoping to break her curse of vampirism. However, Sandor soon makes her realize that her thirst for blood has not been quenched and that all that is in her eyes is "Death." ************ I saw this 1936 film a few days ago on American Movie Classics. It was pretty good; considered excellent for that time. There were no scenes of violence as it would not have been acceptable for a woman to be shown committing acts of violence, or even being too overtly evil acting, at that time. Still, the character's alluring yet vulnerable personality could keep the audience on edge. *************************
Sprite - "Red Lightning" above the storm clouds Sprites are large-scale electrical discharges that occur high above thunderstorm clouds, or cumulonimbus, giving rise to a quite varied range of visual shapes flickering in the night sky. They are triggered by the discharges of positive lightning between an underlying thundercloud and the ground. Sprites appear as luminous reddish-orange flashes. They often occur in clusters above the troposphere at an altitude range of 50–90 km (31–56 mi). *************************
Family Ancestry and Veneration The Slippery Spirit - July 17, 2017 The following topic could possibly illicit some horrible reactions. Given that everyone wants to be focused on issues of racism and cultural misappropriation these days, there may be an assumption that this entry is about race. To address that, I have to first note that this is my blog and I can write whatever I want, because until further notice, I do still have the freedom to express myself. You, the reader, also have the freedom to navigate away from my words and not read them. Secondly, let me note that this blog entry is not about race at all, it is about families and their cultures. If you can't separate the two in your head, you need to stop reading now and go away. The honoring of our past relatives is extremely important. Without diving into an extremely long blog entry on why it's important, just follow me down this thought path. Wouldn't you rather your descendants remember and honor you, instead of completely forgetting you? If you aren't going to leave a significant mark on this world through an invention or some major discovery, don't you at least want the mark you leave (your progeny) to recognize your contribution to their existence? And if the previous is true for you, why wouldn't you want to provide the same recognition to those who were responsible for your existence so that they are not forgotten? You exist because of them. To me, that alone makes them worthy of honor. con't... *************************
Elizabeth Gale Last week I was watching an episode of 'Scientology and the Aftermath' with ex-Scientologist Leah Rimini. The episode, which was entitled 'The Perfect Scientology Family' (see above), was about a family in which there was a Scientology-related suicide some years ago. His name was Phillip Gale, a computer/software prodigy who may have gone onto some big things. They interviewed his sister, Elizabeth Gayle, an Oregon woman in her early 30s. At first I ignored her ample beauty, as it was entirely besides the point of her story. By the end of the interview however, it was apparent to me that she was incredibly beautiful; perhaps more so than any Hollywood actress that I can think of! She seemed so on the inside as well, and was really just like any gal next door. She is a good singer, as one can see on one of her YouTube videos, and a mother. Perhaps "Gale" comes from "Gael," as she looks like a Gaelic beauty.
