X-MEN off to a big start. Despite all those negative reviews.. Summer is blasts and big budgets. XMEN appears to have both.
“Game-Changing” Study Links Cellphone Radiation to Cancer :
The study was on rats..
The radiation received was similar to what humans get… Even more, when radiation in increased the cancer did as well..
Debate renewed today over the safety of the devices we have grown virtually rurally wear on some part of our bodies..
but doesn’t it make some logical sense ?
Ever feel the phantom vibration in your muscle near where you keep your phone? Ever wonder how ‘normal’ that was ??
Maybe normal in the sense that the object of desire we have grown to love is dangerous and undesirable ..
Pure caffeine powder is killing young people :
It’s dangerous.
And it’s sold online in bulk..

Woman found to harbor infection resistant to antibiotic of last resort:
For the first time, doctors have diagnosed an American with an infection that can’t be treated with an antibiotic of last resort, an ominous development in the battle against antibiotic resistance.
Defense Department researchers diagnosed the infection in a 49-year-old woman with symptoms of a urinary tract infection who visited a clinic in Pennsylvania in April. Doctors sent her lab sample to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md..
This is a worst case scenario, according to a number of people in the medical field.. a time ahead in which bacteria is immune to all treatment.
No word on who the person is.. where, besides PA.. and what the status of the condition is.
This is a hard developing story..
Known so far:
The flight left Paris’ Charles de Gaulle Airport at 11:09 p.m. local time and was supposed to land in Cairo at 3.15 a.m. Thursday. Both the departure and arrival cities are in the same time zone.
— It vanished 10 miles into Egyptian airspace, the airline said.
–The plane’s captain had 6,000 flying hours while the first officer had 4,000, Adel said.
–The Egyptian navy is conducting search and rescue operations in the area it vanished, CNN’s Ian Lee said from Cairo. Armed forces are searching the area 40 miles north of Egyptian coastline.
— There was no special cargo on the flight and no notification of any dangerous goods aboard, Adel said.
— The plane entered EgyptAir’s service on November 3, 2003, he added.
Developing..
The images from Belgium are harrowing.. The nation feared terror for since and especially since Paris.. The arrest of the Paris attack mastermind didn’t help alleviate anything. And now today’s 8am morning rush hour double bombings of a subway system and airport in Brussels is being viewed by some as a response to the Friday arrest..
Clear at this point: Belgium and other European cities and nations are on lockdown.. People are being warned to avoid public gatherings.. The train connecting nation shut down..
The story and situation is developing.. With every passing moment more complications on the geo political sphere and in the world of open borders..
I posted what I thought was an amazing story today about where I have been over the last month.. I discovered after posting it that it never actually posted..
THE HORROR REPORT is not going anywhere .. We never did.
We are here…
stay tuned..
I like today’s Drudge Report headline. Good touch ole sparky.
The story linked above his fold is well to do with weather–it’s some weird weather this year actually. The temperature this Christmas Eve as I write this at 7:15am outside my Pennsylvania abode is nearing 60. It’s going to edge towards 70 as the day persists.. by nightfall, Santa’s sleigh will trudge through mud as it attempts to gain entry to all East Coast cities and towns.
This is going to be a warm one.. Actually a hot one.
All records in various places may be broken today.. There will be no white Christmas.. the Heat Miser is winning.
From ACCUWEATHER:
It is a strange moment, walking out into the December air and being greeted with the warmth of a spring or summer morning.. And even more, explain the Santa’s sleigh issue to a nearly 5 year old child who analysis things way too much for his own good at his age. My son told me he could not wait to build a snow man Christmas day. I had to break the bad news of weather. . while he did not seem to care too much after a few months, it was an intense line of questions hurled at me all about why pictures show snow and he was under the impression that Santa needed it.
Nonetheless,
No white Stuff.
Only the hot stuff.
And lots of it.
Merry Christmas EVE.
A few more reminders of the heat:
