Quadruple murder suspect has been caught along with four associates.. Darren Wint was apprehended in the nation’s capitol.. “Just got him,” D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said shortly before 11:30 p.m. Thursday night..


A somewhat major earthquake–major due to the location–has just hit near London.. And with it, the nation and other locations around it were rocked and even violently so, according to some reports..
A “DRAMATIC, violent, jarring and jolting” earthquake has struck the UK near Kent, waking residents in the middle of the night with the shock of their lives.
The unexpected tremor was felt across Britain.
The British Geological Survey confirmed the quake struck at 2:52am British Standard Time with an epicentre 7km south of Ramsgate near Kent.
It measured 4.2 on the Richter scale.
Even more: Twitter lit up immediately with people telling their few-character type tales about the shaking at their own homes.. the fear they have about a quake in England..
I was in my first earthquake in 2011, and it was jarring, mostly because the land I lived in was not supposed to be hit with quakes. I’d expect the same feeling is taking place in the UK right now.. Londonites and Kent-ers may be shaking a more inside than outside …

CBS THROWS LETTERMAN SET INTO DUMPSTER
Well that didn’t take long.. a set of LATE SHOW today is junk by evening..
Right after Letterman’ final show, CBS trashed his set to quickly begin making way for the new guy..
The NEW YORK POST and other sources snapped photos of stagehands and workers uncaringly trashing fragments of late night history..
The POST reports:
“I was literally sitting in one of those seats last night,” said Stephanie Strausz, of Manhattan, who scored a second-row ticket to Wednesday’s star-studded finale.
“I can’t believe they’re just demolishing the whole thing. It’s shocking,” she said.
As stagehands stamped pieces of set into debris, the Letterman lover was able to snatch a bit of dilapidated bridge.
It belongs in the Smithsonian, not the dump, Strausz said.
“I’m ridiculously excited. Now I can leave in peace,” she gloated.
But workers were far less sentimental.
A stagehand said the piles of bridge pieces and particleboard were headed for the dump, adding: “It’s all junk now.”

Bin Laden’s will revealed – & interest in Illuminati, 9/11 conspiracy theories
This from the RT report:
“Among the books that intelligence officials say belonged to Bin Laden are Obama’s Wars, Pulitzer Prize-winner Bob Woodward’s account of the current administration’s roles in overseas conflicts, and two works by American academic Noam Chomsky. There was also a copy of the US government’s report on the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks attributed to bin Laden and reports on Iraq, Afghanistan and Al-Qaeda, among others. There were also more than a dozen items related to France or the French economy, including factsheets and a list of French shipping companies, and books on the illuminati and 9/11 conspiracy theories, such as Bloodlines of the Illuminati and The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11.”
Now tell me, why would the mastermind of 9/11 be interested in theories he didn’t do it?

This is what greeted me today *(and others)* when I logged into TUMBLR today to update COAL SPEAKER..
What am I afraid of, the POLTERGEIST Tumblr account wants to know?
That’s easy.
I am afraid of product placement, the ability social networking and corporate sponsorship to merge together thanks to the YAHOO! acquisition of TUMBLR.
Oh, and one more thing: I am afraid of bad remakes of classic movies.
And I was also sort of afraid of the priest from POLTERGEIST 2, but I will wait until the sequel TUMBLR account asks me what I am afraid of in two years to relay more information about that.

PEPPA PIG smashes records!! The kids love the hog..Smashes the billion dollar mark.. . My son, age 4, has seen the program, and while he doesn’t request it, he will quietly watch it when it’s on..
Five minute programs about a family with one pig that enjoys jumping in puddles? The makers didn’t know it would be this much of a success and quite frankly, how could they have?
It was created in 2004 in the UK.. the same place that gave us quirky comedy with MONTY PYTHON and amazing DR WHO shows also gives us pigs with sidewalks snouts who have overly dull existences and never raise their voices.. And the kids, these days, just love it.
If I have to theorize as to why, I would say this: We have complicated kids’ lives with technology and gadgets. Maybe this low key simple show that eliminates flashy animation is exactly what the child’s mind needs. Something kind and peaceful. Something that doesn’t inspire seizures, violence, rage, or hate. Just a pig that likes jumping in puddles.
