Space Weather contradicts report on big solar flare

This morning’s headlines blazed with heat: A near miss! The sun ejected a flare that almost hit earth two weeks ago..

And now today the website Space Weather is responding to that with this:

SPACE WEATHER FACT CHECK: Many readers are asking about a report in the Washington Examiner, which states that a Carrington-class solar storm narrowly missed Earth two weeks ago. There was no Carrington-class solar storm two weeks ago. On the contrary, solar activity was low throughout the month of July. The report is erroneous. The possibility of such a storm is, however, worth thinking about: A modern Carrington event would cause significant damage to our high-tech society. Solar flare alerts: text, voice.

The original report that appeared in the Washington EXAMINER this morning came from Henry Cooper, a former Reagan official who now is pushing for missile defense programs.. And where did he get his information? Peter Vincent Pry–who is pushing for the United States to upgrade its electric grid to help during events of massive EMP attacks of solar events. Which is a noble cause.. But now I am troubled by the SpaceWeather report that all of this was based off of something that never was..

The UK DAILY MAIL picked up this story today, too, running a more dire headline

I will investigate this matter further..

So far I have yet to see a press release or statement on any of this from NASA.

Please email me at bryan@horrorreport.com if you have more information or useful links..

Dying 2-year-old son to be Pa. couple’s best man

Every now and then a story actually makes me tear up. This is one of them.. I could not imagine the prospects of losing a child, especially to leukemia.. The AP dispatch reports it this way:

Two-year-old Logan is the son of Sean Stevenson and Christine Swidorsky, of Jeannette. The couple had planned to wed next year, but decided to move the ceremony up to Saturday so the boy, who has leukemia and other complications, could participate.

The boy has already lost one kidney and has a mass on his remaining kidney. He has Fanconi anemia, a rare disease that often results in cancer. Doctors last week gave the boy two to three weeks to live.

Swidorsky says, “We want Logan in our family pictures, and we want him to see his mother and dad get married.”

Again, as a parent, I have so much empathy for these two adults watching their innocent young toddler succumb to such a disease..

I cam so sad to read it.. but at the same time so heart-warmed to think of how much joy this will bring this young little brave man.

I have said this before and will again, I don’t know for sure if there is a God above or a devil below, but I will be doing my best version of praying or at least sending positive thoughts towards these three as they share the bond of matrimony with a child who will soon be gone from this natural earthly dwelling..

You’ve heard of Christmas in July? And now you’ll hear about Halloween in August.. Kids get their Halloween nine months after Superstorm Sandy forced it to be canceled.. This is actually a pretty nice story to end today’s update with.. It’s good to see kids happy, especially after the misery that prevailed after Sandy ravaged the entire region..

July is over already!!? Now the summer will fly by, what’s left of it. Happy August. It will soon be the REAL Halloween for everyone.

THE ROARING 90S ARE BACK!

Secret Sex Tape: Monica Lewinsky Caught On Explicit Recording Telling Bill Clinton, ‘I Could Take My Clothes Off…’

We already know anything online may be there forever.. But for God sakes Monica made Bill this tape in 1997 and it still exists…

A part of the plan:

“Maybe we could go over and watch a movie together and just have kind of, I don¹t know, boxed dinners or something like that,” she says.

Boxed dinner, plans for 15 minute encounters, and stained dressed.. That was the way we were in the roaring 90s

When Halloween comes to fast it’s good to just slow down and enjoy the rest of summer

I was shocked when I entered my local convenient market a few days ago and saw pumpkin and other assorted Halloween candy already on prominent display.. I was puzzled, befuddled, but at the same time very static to know that the summer he will soon end and turn into the beautiful autumn weather to come..

But just as quick I remembered, “my god this is summertime”! This is not the time to display a time no decorations or seasonal candy, it is the time to celebrate liberty and beauty, heat and those glorious summer nights of teenage lure.. It would seem that the marketing doesn’t necessarily reflect the glory days of the summer season, after all it appears that those powers that be would rather rush the season through and make you forget that the dog days of August are still to come..

And then came my trip to the mall.

One of my favorite places starting around September this to walk into the Spirit Halloween store. I have always loved this place, it is like shopping for Christmas months before the Christmas holiday season begins.. Ghosts and goblins and terrorizing creatures crawling on the floor, costumes which seem to grow a little more sexual every year, and those rubber knives with blood spattering inside with the push of a button. It is truly a wonderful place to shop!

But yet again to my surprise, be Wildermuth, and secret deep down joy, I saw a sign at the mall that the Spirit Halloween store is now hiring. I guess it is not too early when you need to find seasonal help.. And even though I enjoy those dog days of August I have yet to happen, I also enjoy the anticipation of waiting for my favorite season of all: autumn..

The anticipation will begin in earnest this year, aided by the inclusion of some early pants and signs of the season courtesy of those brilliant marketing executives high aloft and aloof in a city somewhere out there..

Coming this September: Christmas decorations and 2014 New Year’s hats! stay tuned for that
