There Are No Words To Describe What You're About To See.. TEAM HOYT

I just watched this below 1st video and knotted up in my stomach as tears welled up. If you are able to watch this and NOT feel moved, something is severely wrong with you.. How many could do this without Pushing, Pulling, or Carrying your Disabled Son?



  A Son asked his father, "Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?" The father who, despite having a heart condition, says "Yes". They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons. The father always saying "Yes" to his son's request of going through the race together. One day, the son asked his fater, "Dad, let's join the Ironman together." To which, his father said "Yes". For those who don't know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island. Father and son went on to complete the race together!

Miley Cyrus Dresses As Lil Kim For Halloween, Terrifying Pictures Inside

Halloween just got a little sluttier scarier. Miley Cyrus has admitted in the past that she is a huge fan of Lil Kim. In fact, she even thinks she was Lil Kim in another life, so it should come as no surprise to see Miley Cyrus dressed up as Lil Kim for Halloween.


Miley posted the photos you see down below to her Twitter account last night. As you can see, she’s wearing the same outfit Lil Kim famously wore for the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards.


mileycsmileycss


She’s got the wig and she even has the nipple pasty to make the costume complete. Lil Kim saw the costume and wrote the following response to Miley…


lilk


“Awwww. Look at my baby @mileycyrus tonight!!! Looking GORGEOUS!!! I wish I was there to squeeze your boob :) :) Love U so much!!! #mytwin.”


Did Lil Kim just call herself gorgeous? I think she did. Anyway, I can’t really hate too much on her costume. It’s certainly better than my, “I’m a broke loser” costume. It looks similar to this…

Glenn Beck: The Art of Being Unmistakable With Srinivas Rao - The Way Out Of Just About Every Mess The World Finds Itself In

In the video below just released by TheBlaze, Glenn Beck talks to Srinivas Rao, author of The Art of Being Unmistakable, about the values and freedom of the truth and living within it. Nicely enough, this chat leads Glenn to declare that THIS book is "the way out of just about every mess the world finds itself in" now. What divine secret does this book hold?
Glenn Beck invited Srinivas Rao, the author of The Art of Being Unmistakable: A Collection of Essays About Making a Dent in The Universe, on his television show Wednesday, praising the book as “the future,” “what’s coming,” and “the way out of just about every mess the world finds itself in.”
The two have almost nothing in common on paper — Rao is a Berkeley graduate whose primary passion is surfing — but Beck said he believes the two have “a soul in common,” and see most people as “walking around in a fog … not even using or understanding the power that they all have inside.”

Pamela Anderson Joins The Short Hair Club

Pamela Anderson Joins The Short Hair Club

Well, the trend of women in Hollywood chopping off all their hair is continuing. Pamela Anderson shocked everyone when she stepped out in Los Angeles yesterday with a brand new haircut.


She’s had long hair for almost 20 years now, but obviously she felt like it was time for a change. And why not? Everyone else seems to be cutting off their hair, so she might as well join the crowd.


Check out the picture of her new look down below…


pam


Daaaamn. She really did chop it all off, huh? I think her hair might be shorter than mine at the moment. It’s hard to tell how it actually looks on her with those big a– Mickey Mouse sunglasses on, but it looks like she can pull it off.


pammm


Many people online are saying she looks better now than she has ever looked before. That might be true, but who has really paid attention to Pamela’s hair in the first place? I’ve never really found her that pretty or anything, it was just her giant breasts that you couldn’t ignore.


What do you all think? Does she look better now? Would you still watch her run on the beach in slow motion?

THIS VIDEO which briefly covers the 3 core meltdowns, the vulnerable and leaky water storage tanks, radiation health effects, contamination of the Pacific Ocean and marine life, Unit 4 collapse risk and Unit 4 fuel rod removal risk. The situation is ongoing and deteriorating, and it's highly likely that it's actually worse than presented here. This is only a basic outline of some key elements, which I have tried to present in a way that should be easily understood by everyone, particularly those who've not been following this crisis. I have also compiled a list of links below that will inform you more.

Mysterious People Or Alien Invasion? Franz Beckenbauer Drops A Bombshell

Are the Mysterious People Showing Up At Numerous Football Games as shared in that linked viral story really 'preparation' for a false flag alien invasion, 'the final card', as examined in the 2nd video below? Is former 'football' star Franz Beckenbauer correct in the 1st brand new video below when he says that 'aliens' want to 'destroy the planet' or is this all preparation for 'Project Blue Beam' and our first brush with 'aliens', or is this merely a viral marketing campaign for World Cup Brazil in 2014?

★Strange Symbols Appeared Same Day Oct 21 in Times Square in New York City and at Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro


Before It's News | Popular Lifestyle

★Strange Symbols Appeared Same Day Oct 21 in Times Square in New York City and at Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro


A three-meter football displaying the sign then gouged a huge hole in the turf at London's amateur football hub Hackney Marshes 24 hours later, while New York City's Times Square was struck by similar images on the tourist spot's world famous digital billboards.


Further sightings of the symbol have been witnessed in the Copacabana neighborhood of Rio and on the Brazilian city's Santa Marta hill, but this is the first time that the mystery has spread to a professional football arena. Also repeatedly spotted at the locations has been the message: #WINNERTAKESEARTH


People are getting confused about the mysterious black-robed men who are showing up at professional soccer games, and the mysterious circles that are appearing at spots around the world that are affiliated with the men.


These guys are creepy looking and at the end of the last video, it said, more on November 1, so we have to see what's next. Is this just a fake movie promo or what? The 11 men dress in black robes with hoods with identical symbols emblazoned on the front of the robes.  People all over the globe have been wondering what is the mission of these men - who look devilish.


I did a bit of research of this and because I spent ALOT of time, found the home site, http://www.mysteriouscircles.com/  CALLED WINNER TAKES EARTH!~


The clips below to me, are a Very Hollywood style promo piece, music and all.  This could be the fake alien invasion....and I mean fake.  Maybe these guys really do live in the center of the earth, they look so very pale.


Don't get fooled if a company bought Times Square Billboard space, you know a giant corporation is behind this. One of the major film studios for sure.

They can't be real aliens as they would not do a banner like this...just sayn

Mysterious figures at Juventus


photo via http://www.goal.com/en-ca/news/5638/mysterious-circles/2013/10/29/4367869/mysterious-figures-at-juventus?ICID=AR_FS_3


Soccer fans saw them making odd, synchronized movements during the Chelsea-Manchester City Game at Stamford Bridge in London on Sunday.


The figures are dressed the same as men who were seen at another game on Sunday, at Juventus Stadium in Turin, Italy; and a soccer match the previous day at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany.


The men at times hold up tape with the same symbol as the ones on the robe and with the words “#WinnerTakesEarth.” The strange symbols also appeared on the same day–Oct. 21–at Times Square in New York City and at Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro.



The same symbol has been seen at locations across the globe, starting with the appearance of a hologram on Rio de Janeiro's Sugarloaf mountain on Sunday, 20 October.


Above: Residents of Rio de Janeiro were left bemused by the appearance of a series of unidentified signs and circles on the face of Sugarloaf Mountain on Sunday night.


As darkness fell, witnesses reported seeing a green laser beam fired from an unknown location onto the 396m mountainside overseeing the Atlantic Ocean.


The beam gradually enlarged to form scrambled symbols which gave the impression of an encrypted message. "What does it all mean?" asked one stunned bystander. "Why is this happening?" The encoded letters increased in brightness before settling into the shape of a gigantic logo.

It resembled a giant circle with a football shape carved into the centre of the image.


Rio is due to stage key matches and the World Cup final next summer but it is not yet clear what connection this unexplained incident has to the sport.


The mysterious hologram remained illuminated on Sugarloaf for more than two hours before finally fading, at which point w0rding appeared clearly stating: #winnertakesearth.


The unusual scene also prompted passing drivers to reduce their speed and residents to flock to the edge of the oceanic Guanabara Bay.


It was not long before the discussion spread to Twitter where grainy photographs were posted.


Maria Clara Rocha, 27, said: "I have lived in Rio all my life and I have never seen anything like it. It was very eerie and spooky. I really want to know what this all means."


The 11 unknown men, each dressed in black robes and sitting in a line, were spotted making strange synchronized gestures during the league match, which Bayern won 3-2.



This guy looks like a clone, what do you think? Expressionless pale skin robot man.




Men In Black | The robed figures startled supporters


Situated six rows from the pitch just beside the halfway line in the stand opposite the broadcasting gantry, the group was also seen by TV viewers all across the world.



One fan, Torsten Schmidt, said: "It was very weird. They sat very still for a long time but then would hold their hands up together, or stand up in unison and then sit down again. Everyone near me was very confused. Some people laughed, some looked astonished. It was just very weird."



A key feature of their clothing was a circular symbol on the chest of their robes. It clearly resembled the logo spotted at a series of linked unexplained event over the past week.

A Message For BUZZSAW (and anyone else in alternative media)


Before It's News | Popular Lifestyle

A Message For BUZZSAW (and anyone else in alternative media)

Johnny Cirucci
Tuesday, 29 October 2013; 07:54 PM, EST

Uncle Jesse 


I like to think of Jesse Ventura as my crazy uncle.  His Liberal views and Democrat affinities drive me crazy but he’s honest and has a heart for the common citizen and for that I adore him.


But it wasn’t until “Tru TV” produced the docu-drama Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura that I really fell in love with the man.  In regards to pulling the curtain down to see who really makes things happen in America and why, they were some of the best shows I’d ever seen.  You know you’re striking at “the man” when you invest time and money into episodes that get pulled at the last minute or they play games with your air time to minimize your audience.


In the third season Jesse’s son Tyrel and Sean Stone, son of director Oliver Stone joined the cast.


Now if Jesse’s Liberal leanings drive me crazy, Oliver Stone’s anti-American antics make me apoplectic.  When Sean “converted to Islam” in Iran I figured, “Well now there’s a chip off the old Eastern Block.”


But I had to say that Sean and Tyrel were great and young Stone won me over.  They came across as good, open-minded investigators which was what I wanted as a “truth seeker”.


Season 3 (minus the episode critical of the TSA) ended all too quickly.  Although the former Minnesota Governor generously uploaded several episodes to his YouTube Channel, I wanted more.  I harangued my wife until I was able to download each one on iTunes (she holds the purse strings).


It still wasn’t enough.


Then I saw that Tyrel had interviewed his dad (love it when he breaks from “Jesse” and calls him “dad”) for a new internet variety/news show called “Buzzsaw”.  Could this be a continuation of what I so enjoyed?


Unfortunately, the answer has been, “yes” but more often, “no”.


Sean Stone continued to impress me with serious, open-minded investigation into all kinds of unusual subject matter...like the role Satanism has played in the United States government.



Tyrel (from what I saw of him) did a wonderful job of adding a fun, neutral persona to investigative news.


But the key figure behind Buzzsaw was producer Tabetha Wallace and in each episode it isn’t long before she devolves into an attack on Right-minded thinkers (like me) and the Tea Party.


I have to say, it crushed me.


And it’s illogical.  The most burgeoning audience hungry for real news resides on the Right and is populated mostly by Christians.  It is Evangelical Christians who already know Elites who hoard money and power hate you and fear you and will do all they can to sicken, impoverish and enslave you but secretly lest you find out and overthrow them.


This isn’t “conspiracy”, it’s human nature!


The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked.  Who really knows how bad it is? ~ Jeremiah 17:9 (New Living Translation)


Peter said to Him, “Explain the parable to us.”  Jesus said, “Are you still lacking in understanding also?  Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated?  But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man.  For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders.  These are the things which defile the man...” ~ Matthew 15:15-20 (New American Standard)


Unfortunately for me, Tabetha thought it was more important to use Buzzsaw as a platform for a personal agenda—which seems to be the problem at “LippTV” in general.  Nearly half of the videos produced are hit pieces on Scientology, probably because someone there had a bad experience with the cult is using the venue to exorcize their own demons rather than focusing on real news issues that will broaden the channel’s appeal.


Worse, there is no direct contact information for any of them, just a couple of addresses for “LOVE” or “HATE” e-mails.


But being in “alternative media”, myself, I didn’t want to just stop there.  I was very excited to watch the episode entitled British Gov't Pedophilia Conspiracy, Drone Strikes and Blackwater War Crimes.  These were all topics that I knew would get to the heart of the evil that was running America and the world and such topics I had reported on, myself, in the past.



Sadly, within the first few minutes Tabetha started off on yet another anti-Right rant and I couldn’t watch anymore.


But rather than just give up, I thought I would try to get through via the “comments” section.  I wanted to see Buzzsaw successful and gain a broader audience.  Maybe if I appealed to Tabetha Wallace to court me as a potential viewer by toning down the “hate the Tea Party” rhetoric I could do some good.


Allas, after several rounds with someone who spent hours laboring over their YouTube moniker only to come up with “zthg4821” I did get a response from Miss Wallace.


Sadly, it was to accuse me of “slut shaming” her on abortion (cute, I haven’t ever seen that before) and attacking her religious views which I never did and aren’t even aware of.


Clearly, my heartfelt message of “I WANT TO LIKE YOUR SHOW.  PLEASE STOP ATTACKING MY VALUES.” was not received.


And I am heartbroken because I must close the door on yet another rare source of real news.

The Monsters That Killed The Giant Oar Fish Found

The Monsters That Killed The Giant Oar Fish Found

 

 



Dissecting a small sampling of tissue from an 18-foot oarfish late last week, UC Santa Barbara parasitologists discovered the elusive California sea monster hosted its own little monsters inside.



On October 13, 2013 The crew of sailing school vessel Tole Mour and Catalina Island Marine Institute instructors hold an 18-foot-long oarfish that was found in the waters of Toyon Bay on Santa Catalina Island, Calif.

"Our findings say that these are actually majorly parasitized fish," said Armand Kuris, professor of zoology in the UCSB Department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology, of the late night dissection last Thursday.



Part of the team that dissected an 18-foot oarfish l to r: Armand Kuris, professor of zoology, and graduate student researchers Sara Weinstein and John McLaughlin. Weinstein holds a 15 cm larval tapeworm found in the fish's intestine.

The oarfish carcass was found on October 13 by a Catalina Island snorkeler. Because the oarfish lives in such deep, dark and mysterious waters, and doesn't take bait, said Kuris, the creature is a rare find, especially for parasitologists.



The small white threadlike organism is a nematode, or roundworm, found in the sample of oarfish tissue dissected by the researchers.

"Oarfish wash ashore, one every few years," said Kuris, adding that finding such a fish that hasn't rotted or been eaten by other organisms, and is found in a place where scientists can get a hold of the carcass is "the result of many uncommon events." There are only two papers on oarfish parasites, he said.



Also known as the "king of herrings," and "ribbonfish," the oarfish (Regalecus glesne) is thought to be the world's largest bony fish, reaching over 30 feet long, giving rise to its sea serpent reputation. However, because it lives in deep waters (from 650-1000 feet), relatively little is known about the creature.





UCSB Scientists Find Parasites in Giant Oarfish from UC Santa Barbara on Vimeo.



With the help of UCSB research biologist and ichthyologist Milton Love, the group was able to obtain a small sample of tissues –– gills, intestine, stomach, spleen and gallbladder –– for dissection. The results of their examination not only revealed more parasites than previously documented, but also clues into the ecology and habitat of the deep-water fish.



"In this little piece of intestine that we had, we found quite a few of these rather large larval tapeworms. One of them was about 15 cm (6 inches) long," said Kuris. They found a couple dozen specimens of two species in the small segment, along with two juvenile roundworms. And, unexpectedly, grad student Sara Weinstein found the hooked proboscis of an adult spiny-headed worm embedded in the intestine as well.



The life cycle stage in which these parasites were found is important, explained Kuris, because such parasites live out their life cycles in different hosts. The larval tapeworms, which hadn't yet developed their telltale segments, for instance, will stay in their larval stage indefinitely until the oarfish gets eaten by a shark, whereupon they resume their maturation inside the shark. The spiny-headed worm, on the other hand, was an adult, indicating that the oarfish ate the organism –– probably krill or some deep-water crustacean –– that hosted its juvenile form.

"These (findings) tell you about what the natural enemies of the oarfish are," said Kuris. The species it feeds on also indicate where the elusive oarfish is likely to live or hunt for food.



The next step for the researchers is to send parasite specimens away for further identification, and possibly even molecular analysis of the DNA. Despite the fact that they had only a small portion of the total fish, the researchers were able to come away with a huge amount of information.



"This thing had all sorts of stuff in it, even when we had almost no actual tissue to work with," Kuris said.



The dissection was also performed by researcher Ryan Hechinger, grad students John McLaughlin and Alejandra Jaramillo, and undergraduates Maggie Espinoza, Gabriella Dunn and technician Jake Ashford.

To determine the number of distinct species in the family of humpback dolphins (animals named for a peculiar hump just below the dorsal fin), the research team examined the evolutionary history of this family of marine mammals using both physical features and genetic data. While the Atlantic humpback dolphin is a recognized species, this work provides the best evidence to date to split the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin into three species, one of which is completely new to science.

"Based on the findings of our combined morphological and genetic analyses, we can suggest that the humpback dolphin genus includes at least four member species," said Dr. Martin Mendez, Assistant Director of WCS's Latin America and the Caribbean Program and lead author of the study. "This discovery helps our understanding of the evolutionary history of this group and informs conservation policies to help safeguard each of the species."



The authors propose recognition of at least four species in the humpback dolphin family: the Atlantic humpback dolphin (Sousa teuszii), which occurs in the eastern Atlantic off West Africa; the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin (Sousa plumbea), which ranges from the central to the western Indian Ocean; another species of Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin (Sousa chinensis), which inhabits the eastern Indian and western Pacific Oceans; and a fourth Sousaspecies found off northern Australia yet to be named (the formal adjustment of the naming and number of species occurs through a separate and complementary process based on these findings).



"New information about distinct species across the entire range of humpback dolphins will increase the number of recognized species, and provides the needed scientific evidence for management decisions aimed at protecting their unique genetic diversity and associated important habitats," said Dr. Howard Rosenbaum, Director of WCS's Ocean Giants Program and senior author on the paper.

Working to bring taxonomic clarity to a widespread yet poorly known group of dolphins, the authors assembled a large collection of physical data gathered mostly from beached dolphins and museum specimens. Specifically, the team examined features from 180 skulls covering most of the distribution area of the group in order to compare morphological characters across this region.



The researchers also collected 235 tissue samples from animals in the same areas, stretching from the eastern Atlantic to the western Pacific Oceans, analyzing both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA for significant variations between populations.
