Overall Color for the Week:    Pale Gold

While there will be those who will say that there was nothing especially memorable about this week, those with open eyes and questioning minds will recognize that the events of this weeks were both harbingers and turning points for the movement of the energy in the times ahead.  This is true on all levels, the personal, the communal, the societal, the political, and the global.  This is a week in which things that need to be said will come to the fore. This is a time in which people will begin to question a lot of what is going on around them. Complacency is no longer a safe haven. Continue reading →

One of the thousands of documents the FBI placed in its new online site (find out where) reportedly seems to confirm that aliens did land at Roswell, N.M., in 1947. (See where that is.) Conspiracy theorists have said for years that the U.S. government covered up its discovery of this in a field, saying instead it was a weather balloon.

According to the predictions of Christian radio broadcaster Harold Camping, May 21 will be the day of the rapture, when God calls believers to heaven to live in everlasting paradise.

By Camping’s estimation, that means the Earth will be 200 million souls lighter by Sunday morning. [Infographic: A Brief History of Doomsday]

While there’s no reason to believe that Camping’s doomsday predictions are more reliable than the hundreds of failed end-of-the-world predictions throughout history, the loss of 200 million people all at once would be the largest single population decrease in human history. It’s safe to say the world would take notice — but the effects of such a mass disappearance would depend on where believers were concentrated.

Solar Filament

JUMP: Solar activity is low, but it’s not zero. Just look at what happened yesterday. On May 20th, an enormous filament of hot plasma and magnetism reared up from the edge of the sun and …. (click on the image)

…it jumped! The magnificent leap spanned more than 200,000 km of fiery starscape. This is the sort of thing that happens routinely when a 1027ton nuclear explosion (a star) is “quiet.”

First there was “Dawn of the Dead.” Then there was “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” (Quirk Books, 2009). Now, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are jumping on the zombie bandwagon.

Yes, that CDC. A post on the health agency’s blog titled “Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse” went viral this week, causing the blog’s servers to temporarily crash. The blog normally gets 1,000 to 3,000 hits per day, said CDC spokesperson Dave Daigle. Before the page went down on Wednesday (May 18), the post had garnered 30,000 hits. As of Thursday morning, 55,000 people had clicked on the post.

“We did not anticipate this type of reaction,” Daigle told LiveScience.

Panera ‘Pay-What-You-Want’ A Success

Year Later, Pay-What-You-Want Panera a Success

By JIM SALTER Associated Press
CLAYTON, Mo. May 16, 2011 (AP)

 

 

Rashonda Thornton looked up at the menu on the wall, ordered a Caesar salad and dropped a $10 bill in a box. Pretty generous, considering the meal at Panera Bread Co.’s café in the St. Louis suburb of Clayton sells for less than $7.

It was a year ago that Panera converted the Clayton restaurant into a nonprofit pay-what-you-want restaurant with the idea of helping to feed the needy and raising money for charitable work. Panera founder and Chairman Ronald Shaich said the café, operated through Panera’s charitable foundation, has been a big success, largely because of people like Thornton.

“Sometimes you can give more, and sometimes you can give less,” said Thornton, a teacher’s assistant. “Today was one of my ‘more’ days.”

Mammatus Clouds over Minnesota

MAMMATUS OVER MINNESOTA: On May 10th, a severe storm captured national attention when it dumped golf-ball-sized hail on a Minnesota Twins baseball game. “I missed the hail,” reports John Rogers of New Hope, Minnesota, “but I got a nice view of the clouds that formed after the storm passed.” He snapped this picture in waning twilight at 8:30 pm local time:

These are mammatus clouds. Named for their resemblance to a cow’s underbelly, they sometimes appear at the end of severe thunderstorms when the thundercloud is breaking up. Researchers have called them an “intriguing enigma,” because no one knows exactly how and why they form. The clouds are fairly common but often go unnoticed because potential observers have been chased indoors by the rain. If you are one of them, dash outside when the downpour stops; you could witness a beautiful mystery in the sky.

Overall Color for the Week:  Rose Red

This is a week of changes and changing.  There will be little time for rest on any level as the Earth continues its movements.  Discoveries will be made concerning the shifts in the crust of the Earth that were heretofore unexpected. Moreover there will be information coming out concerning the magnetics of the earth and a change regarding them. These things will be amended as footnotes to newscasts, etc., but they will be picked up by many as more and more odd Earth events take place. Continue reading →
