The apartment buildings faced a forest with the barracks and training fields behind them. Every morning an army bus collected all the children from these apartments and took us to the village preschool or schools. Every afternoon the same bus collected and delivered us back to the army village. The bus driver, a soldier, knew us by name and kept strict discipline on the bus.

I liked my new home. I remember my foster mother, she had blond hair and she was young. My foster father was tall and they both laughed a lot. In fact they must have thought I was very amusing, because they laughed a lot at what I said.

The apartments had a communal outdoor swimming pool fenced off during the winter. During summer we kids spent our time roaming around the buildings, getting under way at the offices when we wanted to see our fathers, or sneaking out to the forest, which was forbidden territory. During summer, hot lunch was provided to us kids by the army, delivered by soldiers to each house. It was pretty ordinary food, for a child anyway.

On the weekends my foster father would come into my room, scoop me up and take me into their bedroom to lie in between them. Eventually, one of them would get up and make soft boiled eggs, our standard weekend breakfast.

I was well known among the soldiers, when I went to look for my father, one or the other would recognise me and put me on their shoulder for a ride while we looked for my father.

I do have many funny and some almost tragic memories from the time I lived with them. I’ll share some of those within my next posting.

Don’t forget to check out my coming book, The Birth of Races  http://www.gypsyshadow.com/KatalinNagy.html#Races

http://www.thebirthofraceskatalinnagy.com/

The world saw a Christian girl who had last sung in the choir, unaware of how beautiful or sexual she was.  Her image was in stark contrast with the raunchy flash singers, for Whitney didn’t have to dance or wiggle  to catch the eye she had a fantastic voice and excellent stage presence.

Whitney was born in Newark, New Jersey, on August 9, 1963, the daughter of gospel singer Cissy Houston,  cousin of Dionne Warwick and  her godmother  was Aretha Franklin.  In the mid-1980s, she was ‘discovered’ singing in a New York nightclub.

It was all gravy; she had a string of Billboard No. 1 hits; “Saving All My Love for You,” “How Will I Know,” “The Greatest Love of All,” “Where Do Broken Hearts Go,” and “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me).”

In 1991 she was chosen to sing  “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the Super Bowl, just days into the first Persian Gulf War, which electrified audiences.  The next year, she released the soundtrack to her movie “The Bodyguard,” one of the top 10 biggest-selling albums of all time.

Her cover of Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” for the soundtrack is probably her greatest song.

And Then?

Whitney Houston shocked the world by marrying a guy called Bobby Brown.  That she even knew such a person existed, much less would date him made pigs flying mundane.  Sweet little Christian girl Whitney with someone like That?

The public began, during the next few years to realise that the Whitney Houston they imagined was nothing but hype and she was far more like Bobby Brown.   What virtually ended her career, for many of her followers, was her exuberant welcome when he was released from prison.

Few will forget how she jumped on him in one of the lewdest poses, one which persons might have assumed, fooled by her image, would have been unknown to her. 

Whitney Houston was no innocent young lady but a gal more raunchy than Madonna who had been using drugs for years.

The public, angry at being deceived by the packaging turned away.  Houston, in turn, began revealing her real self in coarse interviews and action and erratic behaviour.

In a 2009 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Houston recalled how her mother arrived with sheriff’s officers and a court order in a drug intervention.

She entered rehab and took a long hiatus. Her 2009 release, “I Look To You,” was her first in seven years.

She had attempted a comeback but her voice was no longer there. 

She died on February 11, 2012 at the age of forty eight.

I wasn’t worried if anyone would wonder. Though I am not in a relationship (romantic) I am loved. Just before leaving home I told my son I loved him. He replied saying he loved me. I had spoken to my sister and niece the night before, so they knew I loved them. I had posed it to my Facebook. There were no doubts in our minds. I hadn’t wondered if I would think about such a thing as that ;at a moment such as that but I did. I was content.

I had always told my family members I loved them on occasion of course. But in this last year of my life I have begun to say it everyday. I can honestly say it was because of someone I met. He told me everyday after he declared his love; that he loved me. I use to wonder at it. I wondered why he said it so much. It made me uncomfortable in the beginning. I had always believed unfoundedly if you say it so much it makes one suspicious. Why are you saying it, kind of like, “What did you do?” mentality.

Then I begin to like hearing it. It made me feel good, special…to knew someone felt such emotion and depth of feeling for me. This person use to play a song everyday for me as well. The song explained why he told me this everyday. He said for as long as we were together and after he wanted me to know he had loved me. As I said I had never thought about how those words change our lives. They can blind us or open our eyes. 

Some of us think it’s not important to say you love someone other then family or a lover. Whomever is important to you. We may feel “Well they know it already. I’ve said it before.”  Well let me tell you it is important! For you to say it, for you to hear it.  It is a natural need fulfilled to give and receive love. Not just actions  and but verbal acknowledgement are so very vital. 

I can tell you if I had died I would have been content to know I had spoken my love to the ones love. They would have the last memory of me: telling them how much they meant to me. I would have had the same. It was a validation that I was grateful for them in my life. Wither we admit it or not we all seek some form of validation. When we hear the words “I love you”, it sets off a chemical reaction in us that says “YES!”  I am special to not only to myself, but to someone else in this journey.  

I say I love you everyday now because of him.  I may not get the chance to do it again tomorrow. I don’t want anyone that cares for me to wonder if I loved them. It was my comfort in that moment. It was my number one on my bucket list.  I love to hear those words and I love to say them.  If you love them tell them. Its simple.  All the material stuff matters a damn if there is no love.  Love is manna to us humans; admit it or not.    

            I remember the first time I met you was at teacher orientation.  You came in with your perfectly done makeup and your big eyes and great style.  You rocked YOU.  We met numerous times after that but the most memorable for me was a Birthday party/ Halloween Party in which you saved the day.  Two People with no costumes?  No worries!  You did makeup expertly to make them look like they had bruises.  I don’t know where you learned to do this.  I didn’t ask.  I should have.  It was brilliantly done.  I didn’t tell you this at the time.  I should have. 

            As for you- You were stunning.  You took an outfit anyone would wear on a normal day and with makeup and accessories made it look like a perfectly planned Mime’s attire. Your red lipstick wowed.  You sang Lady Gaga “Bad Romance” and did makeup happily chatting about the bad choice in music.  You were always smiling.  You make me realize that I need to get a handle on ME.  In your words, “To live. To love. To laugh.”   And even though I barely knew you, you’ve changed my life.  This is dedicated to Crystal Veytia.

   Pluto flares in Egypt after 79 die in soccer riot

For those who know me and the Cosmic Code jurisdictions, no explanation is necessary; for those who do not, none will ever suffice…

Dr. Turi

To those readers who have been followed my work for years, I have often mentioned that money spent on religious and sports buildings could only trig more animosity from an uneducated, unconscious mass. I also mentioned many times how crucial it is to invest in my Astropsychology schools instead to educate people on their natal  UCI or “Unique Celestial Identity” to stop them behaving like wild animals… 

Anytime you gather two person together, would it be a mother and her child, two brothers, sisters or friends the lack of cosmic consciousness will induce obvious differences in perception, judgement even beliefs…Imagine now bringing thousands of morons together in the huge arena of stupidity where the goal is to KICK or play with a freaking ball? And these are the 99.09 % of lost idiots I am trying to save… Who’s next to die for a score or a ball? Thus when I tell you my mission to free humanity from fear and ignorance is HUGE may be the advanced reader  can sympathize with me at the wake of this latest deadly news.

Anger flares in Egypt after 79 die in soccer riot

In the aftermath, everybody is blaming something or someone they feel is responsible for the human waste and its stupidity…

“A deputy of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party demanded the resignation of the interior minister, holding him responsible for the loss of lives. Another deputy accused security guards of allowing fans to bring weapons into the stadium in Port Said.”

But the fact is the same very people are part of the ignorant ignobly plaguing 99.09% of the world today.  This “accident” reflects the state of mind of a crowd of  Neptunian human living in the Middle East ready to kill anyone on their path if they object to their goals. This attitude is spreading like a cancer all over the world with small pockets of “Occupy” which will turn bloody with time…  

Frustrations must find its way out, either verbally or physically period! Sports and spirit do not match this is why the highly spiritual soul will not attend any sport events physically. In fact some people would do absolutely anything to get their hand or the best seat for the upcoming Indianapolis super bowl, guess what offered with a free ticket in the best seat in the stadium I would turn it down…and this is what makes the difference between me and other millions of sports fans…I also wonder what would you learn with someone painting his face or entire body in green screaming his head off after each wins? OMG! in what a young world did I land on? and these are the people I am trying so hard to educate and save from themselves? I’d rather let them play with their balls…Enjoying nature, the lake, fishing with Terania and my dogs appeals me better. Mostly because I am far away and safe from insanity…

Egypt victims and perpetrators/killers were only reflecting the battle taking place in the heavens above their unconscious heads between the planet Pluto (death/drama/police/criminals) in the sign of Capricorn (government/structure/order.)  They are all idiotic unconscious ROBOTS acting out the Cosmic Code jurisdiction where Pluto transform their emotions into a volcano of destruction…With this in mind would you allow Plutonium to flow freely to Iran? Makes you think how much, such a “dwarfed” planet called Pluto can do so much damage and the logical, educated scientists are still oblivious of the obvious because they are also also part of the unconscious moronic mass… 

And it is with sadness that I am witnessing the Divine in action and working overtime to make this particular crowd of educated human and  99.09% of the world aware of the Cosmic Code. I am asking them all to wake up, to educate themselves, to acknowledge God’s will outside of their deceptive religious practices or scientific assumptions  and stop self destructing…The fact is the next religious discord or stampede is bound to happen because imbecility rules the unconscious mind of morons acting out all the planets above. Note as a truth seeker I am also speaking the undiluted truth and if you do not like my “French” and honesty you are not yet ready for the truth or my teachings. Worse, some people  do take my comments personally dictating an insecurity or inferiority complex and I can not be blamed for stirring these feelings.  In any case, I do apologize to the over sensitive critical soul misjudging my intend reminding you that the undiluted truth never intended to please anyone…

Will this new wave of death means something to the lost religiously poisoned wealthy morons giving their money away? Little do they know that they are indeed responsible for future discords wasting millions to build more religious or sport buildings where the same dreadful acts will repeat itself.  The fact is they are more churches and religious buildings than schools in the world! And worse the unconscious teachers rely on science and religions to teach the children or comprehend and control a mass of adult morons.

In a world where leaders assign themselves to religious archaic convictions and trust its infantile scientific community only extreme stupidity can plague the rest of humanity.

Dr. Turi

But this does not mean all sports or religions should be abolished, I like sports too  and I understand the need for human to regenerate their spirit with the religion of their choice or the one they were born into. But the educational system is set by the greedy powerful Illuminati political/religious/scientific groups  dedicated to control the information and in turn control your children’s future.  Freedom, love and respect can only become a reality with the right type of education and after 45 years of begging for donations to build my Astropsychology schools I wonder if I will ever be able to beat the Illuminati mind control set up.   

But I seriously begin to wonder if I should quit, go fishing and retire from such an impossible task…I will turn  62 on 02/26/12 and I am constantly witnessing supreme ignorance depleting the human spirit. It does takes its tool on me especially when I see the tremendous waste of financial resources destroying the dollar and America.  My hopes to help the children of tomorrow can never come to pass if the parents are still in denial or unwilling to help me in my mission impossible.

And if science could / would acknowledge, use or predict behavior within the UCI or “Unique Celestial Identity” software system I developed, might they (our politicians/the police and humanity at large) not also find a way to control their mental shortcoming?

Dr. Turi

This disastrous happening in the Middle East is an omen, a sign of things to come for the region  and the world at large. Continuing ignoring the Cosmic Code rules and its obvious Plutonic deadly signs will bring more death, more drama, more re-birthing and it seems to be the only way  any moron will learn… the hard way!  

There is nothing more dangerous than an ignorant, uncontrolled raging mass reflecting the destructive deadly packed Plutonic emotions that must find a way out, often explosively as seen in Egypt. But this deadly steam is about to erupt all over the world and produce the badly needed changes that can not come to pass otherwise. Again readers, there are NO accidents and ALL rulers in ALL countries will have to give in to Pluto’s deadly power.

Memo from my prediction page:

“This Universal restructure of abusive power and obvious greed must stop! ALL corporations that drain countries and people’s resources will be forced to a total financial RESTRUCTURE. The truth can not be hidden any-longer and those greedy corporations (and CEO’s/FCO’s) that banrupted America are no safe anymore on foreign grounds where American sweat, pain and suffering was stolen and invested. 

THEN AFTER AUGUST 2012 AND FOR TWO YEARS EXPECT A FULL RESTRUCTURE OF WEALTH, POWER, THE BANKING INDUSTRY AND LARGE CORPORATIONS WHERE A NEW BRANCH OF “FINANCIAL” SECRET SERVICES WILL BE INTRODUCED SECRETIVELY TO THE WORLD. IT WILL BECOME PUBLIC WITH TIME…”

The mass is slowly realizing its own power where the dance of evil lured by the wealth, the notoriety, the control over others MUST change hands but the new leaders will be as smart as the old ones, repeating  endlessly the infamous couple dance between horror and ignorance…

Imagine that readers, if discord takes place at home between an unconscious mother and her child because their UCI or “Unique Celestial Identity” is totally different, what do think is taking place in a stadium holding thousands of fans or in the stage of life holding billion of human? 

While religious wars are still plaguing this world killing many innocent, our differences, preferences, investments or beliefs can now battle each others in public place in a big stadium or in the political arena.  Nothing has changed really, the gladiators were dying for Cesar with the only difference that the modern gladiators decided to enter the arena to kill or be killed…Blame it all on the supremely emotional Pluto power generated this “Deadly Plutonic Window.” Will human finally realize that; in the eternal battle between emotions and common sense, emotions will always win and this is exactly what happened in Egypt.  

2012 Moon Power Memo:

Events: Let’s hope this trio and the new moon will stop any dramatic happenings but it could also mean that thousands of people may be fleeing nature, forced to relocate to start a new and better life.

Dozens missing after ferry sinks ”The weather was likely to be a contributing factor in the ferry’s sinking, Ruh said, as there were high winds at the time in what is a notorious area.”

“if you are not happy or something is missing in your life it is simply because you do not live your destiny as intended by God through the Cosmic Code”

THE IMPLOSION OF THE MIDDLE EAST

Read  this updated newsletter Dr. Turi Versus David Icke – Help Pamela Please!

Where is Syria crisis heading?

What is happening to the Middle East?

I SEE A FORM OF  “REVOLUTION”

Dear Readers:

It pain me deeply to imagine the state of mind of anyone living in the Middle East today, especially countries forced to “die and rebirth” under the immensely transforming deadly power of the planet Pluto transiting the sign of Capricorn (governments.)  This dramatic and obvious phenomenon makes no sense to both the abusive leaders holding to power and the unconscious mass in need of freedom and justice for all. 

Without any form of spiritual/cosmic education all the people of the world have is a myriad of religious faiths, prophets, deities and a way of life which in reality part of the Illuminati master plan to keep them all fearful, obedient and disciplined.  But life is a constant process of changes where disagreeing old and new generations are forced to battle each others for control and this is exactly what is happening all over the world. Do not think America is immune from the inner power of the planets because the same exact changes are taking place in all countries because the Cosmic Code jurisdictions afflicts the entire world. 

MEMO

Prediction 19. The Tail of the Dragon in Cancer now in Gemini until August 2012, will bring serious insecurity to the poor, where the same very people will demand drastic decisions to be taken.

Without Cosmic Consciousness an autonomic rationalistic humanity “the ants” respond with the revolution I foresaw and warned George Noory audience on Coast to Coast radio am national program well before the first “occupy” group was ever born. Unconscious souls will find answers in the so called “apocalyptic” end of times, while others will be trapped into the mind of conspiracy “Talking Heads” making a good use of the fears those imposed changes produces.

Without the full understanding of  the hidden eternal planetary movements “the working ants” can only relate and trust those they erroneously think knows better than they do…The fact is only a minuscule amount of wise souls own the golden keys of what it means to be human and why the imposed tumultuous, deadly changes are actually taking place. But explaining the cosmic facts or God’s celestial will has never been an easy task, especially when the majority of human are still experiencing a karmic reincarnation  where divine manifestation are still forbidden. This crowd of human will reject religions and aim for political science for answers that would make sense to the morbid dance they are watching or forced into. 

Mention the word “Dragon” and the Christians will run away in fear not realizing they have been religiously poisoned at a early age and subconsciously conditioned to reject anything that is not part of the accepted belief system and teaching the Illuminati subjected them into. The same principle takes place in any of the 875 different religions plaguing humanity trapped spirit. Indeed 2000 years of mental manipulation and controlled information locked the human spirit into total deception fueling endless religious wars and discord all over the planet. In fact a mixture of political/religious various convictions brought this world to this disastrous state where everyone sees, think and talk a very different tune, all can only be blamed on the unimaginable, countless amount of different UCI or “Unique Celestial Identity”  

One day, well into the future, humanity will see for those imposed celestial changes and with full cosmic consciousness generations will understand their differences and instead of bloody wars, pain and suffering God’s celestial wheel will turn and humanity will be able to accept the beneficial changes without bloodshed. But I am very much into the future sharing my visions to you readers but this bloody river is not yet stopped…Replacing fears, ignorance and religious poisoning with the right liberating education has just started with my work and many more Dr. Turi must follow my footsteps and keep teaching God’s universal will before peace, love, respect and harmony bless this lost world…

For the time being, all I can do is to watch humanity in silence tearing itself apart because of fears and ignorance and the day I see my first Astropsychology school operational, I know the children of the future will live and enjoy a much more peaceful and productive safer life…

Yes readers, you are watching the history of humanity’ spirit growth in action right where the essence of the spirit, in the Middle East demands its own psychical and spiritual freedom. But how many of the contestants doomed to die or live can assimilate these celestial  facts? The Age of Pisces, its deception, illusions, religions   must die and rebirth into a New Age and a new perception of God’s celestial divinity…

All I can do is to lead you into the understanding of Neptune’s treacherous waters and…

where you came from, because as a child of the Universe this is where you will find God and your own salvation…The marvels and incredible blessings of the Age of Aquarius is upon us and with it the reality of our celestial brothers, humanity is on its way to the biggest wake up call ever where the Illuminati can not impose any longer spiritual / political limitations making up this dense physical world. My message to acknowledge and handle the Supraconscious forces at work  has started, show me your support by passing my message to all the people in need of the truth and spiritual freedom. Time for you to aim for the light, to rise above fears, imagination, discord and wars. Time to aim for the supreme power in charge of humanity’s future as a whole because as sons and daughters of the universe we are all Gods in training on this dense physical world. One day human will elect those born to handle power wisely by selecting a dedicated, honorable politician’s UCI  that knows himself, his fate well and knows better than you do spiritually and not because of the million of dollars he/she accumulated in her bank account.  We still have a long way to go and it starts by knowing oneself… The day you decide to go UNDER the stars and realize how your STAND under the canopy of the stars, you will UNDERSTAND God’s identity and my mission better! You will also realize how crucial it is for humanity at large to become cosmic conscious and use the Universal mechanics appropriately…The spiritual uniqueness and awareness means freeing humanity from oppression, injustice, death, drama and future wars, and it all starts with you…  I CAME FROM PURE HELL! Do not give in to fears, to not allow evil to suck your life and hopes away, do not sign up for anything or anyone that induces insecurity or make you feel uncomfortable, become a light worker, a truth seeker and aim for love, peace, wisdom and the essence of God himself, its that simple. DO NOT ABANDON YOUR DREAMS, have faith magic and angels are real! Be positive, free yourself from the evil that you allowed to poison your body, mind and soul…Do not listen to his lost manipulating children, doing so is signing up for more fears, more pain more drama. Aim for the light and you will magnetize yourself to the light, to the right people, the perfect teachers and reach this incredible endless source of Supraconscious power. All you have to do is to ask and you shall receive…It works for Terania and I, it will work for you too…If you need more of my valuable teaching and find the source of this immaculate power simply read this book or let me guide you back to your uniqueness…It will change your life and that is a promise…    Blessings to all Dr. Turi 

Apparently on Wednesday around 4 a.m. police found his body in his Sherman Oaks home with a self inflicted gun shot wound to the head.  He was taken to the hospital where he was officially pronounced dead at age 75.  With the confirmation of his death artists that had known him and worked with him or felt that he was responsible for his career immediately issued statements of condolences and utter shock at the way he passed.  Black Entertainment Television (BET) is already scheduled to air The Hippest Trip in America at 8pm 2.1.12 a documentary of the late great Don Cornelius. 

It’s almost unbelievable that he died in such a terrible way.  I grew up watching Soul Train every Saturday morning at 11am.  My siblings and I couldn’t wait to see who would perform, what cool dances they were going to do.  Every time it was time for the Soul Train line we would get up and do our own little dance down the aisle.  Those memories are so vivid in my mind, it’s almost as like it was yesterday.  I’m sure the memories are just as vivid in the minds of others who also grew up watching Soul Train.  The success of Soul Train was that it was nothing else like it on television during those days.  There was nothing else that African American music lovers could relate to and it was a must to tune in to see our stars.  I can almost guarantee that at every African American family get together, wedding, family reunion or other family function there is music, there is a Soul Train line being done somewhere!

Don Cornelius will truly be missed and his legend will live on in the hearts and souls of us who grew up with him and the Soul Train dancers. Don Cornelius is said to be responsible for boosting the popularity of The Jackson 5, James Brown, Marvin Gaye and other such artists that have performed on the famous stage over at the Soul Train studio.  So hats off to you Mr. Cornelius Peace, Love and Sooooooul!!

Ok, so we all know why Suda 51 is awesome right? Some people don’t know why they are awesome and I will tell you why. Suda 51 is a company known for its unique art style and they are best at sexual puns and such that will have you chuckling all the way through, but of course when they make a game its not just about the laughs. Their storylines are always put together beautifuly. Such as, Shadow of The Damned.

Now let me say this. Games that use the Unreal Engine, in my opinion, is marked as a game done lazy. They may put no effort into their games and this game kinda shows it, but at the same time it looks like they at least tried. This game was marked badly, but if you actually gave it a chance, you can see Suda’s charm and actually like the game. I would say its worth the $30 I paid.

So you’re a knight in shining…. Leather.. Er, how about I start like this. Garcia Hotspur, a bad ass guy with leather pants and a strong Hispanic accent. Sounds awesome already, no? He has a partner named Jhonson who is a skull on a stick with an English accent that acts as a torch, but not only that, he is also your weapon. Now this guy’s girlfriend got dragged to Hell and is forced to die over, and  over again as punishment, until he can save her. That’d tick anyone off. 

 Jhonson, as your weapon, turns from a pistol called the “Boner” to an SMG that shoots teeth and thankfully he transforms instantly and as you progress with the story you get more upgrades for your weapons or even a new weapon that kicks more ass then your last. Not only that but you get upgrades yourself by collecting red gems. So in that way it has an RPG feeling.

 As you move through the game it has that old school way of moving, similar in Mario 3, how you had Mario choose a level by standing in front of it. Not many games do this now a days so its nice to see something old school once in a while. That kinda brings nostalgia to mind, like how in castlevania it did the trail thing from one map selection to another, except you didn’t choose the map, it kinda did it for you. Which of course I don’t mind.

The music in this game isn’t half bad, especially the loading music. I could listen to that on a soundtrack and be pleased. The music as your fighting something through the darkness makes you feel frantic, as you should because shit goes DOWN. And there’s this anglerfish thing that makes awesome music while your walking next to it. That is boss.

The gameplay for this game is exceptionally good, I don’t find myself fumbling over the buttons just because this thing needs light shot into it, or this thing needs to die by SMG and such so I applaud them for it. There’s a lot of upgrades to choose from so I’m pleased by this also. There is a bit to do while your going through each puzzle to find a means…and your girlfriend. Also, the shop here is….interesting to say the least.

Finally, the graphics. I personally HATE and I mean HATE the Unreal engine and to see Suda use it in this game made me sad. The Unreal engine either makes the shadows blue, things are too shiny, or when things die their backs break by bending backwards or  they drop to the floor unrealistically. It doesn’t matter to me, I normally refuse getting games with the Unreal engine, but just like Justin Bieber, there are somethings that you hate but kinda have to get over it because it exists. Other than that, this games graphics are ok. Looking at Garcia’s sexy face and thanking that its not shiny is good enough for me, though in the shadows on the PS3, not sure for the Xbox 360, they are definitely a shade of blue. And no matter how I fix my settings its blue. If I change the colors for this game, the other games, like Skyrim or Deus Ex will be too dark. Shame, shame.

All that well and said, I give this game a 7/10. You will either like it, or you won’t, but its worth a try.

There is a tragic awfulness to the sight of something as magnificent as a whale being washed up dead on a beach, and local residents will go to extraordinary lengths to get rid of the decaying and putrid smelling flesh. Such carcasses would be put to use in olden times, but not so these days.

Varying enormously in size, dead whales are by no means easy to dispose of. Burying them through using large excavators is one option, though machinery capable of doing the job is likely to sink itself into a sandy beach, so a preferred option for  disposal of the corpses is using explosives.

Blowing up dead whales is not uncommon, and mostly works very well, though there are occasional mishaps, like that which took place, in 1970 in Florence, Oregon with a 15metre long sperm whale carcass. Decided to have been too big to bury, the locals opted instead for the explosive route, but in an awesome misjudgement employed 20 full cases of dynamite!

The blast was so powerful that, huge chunks of blubber were hurled skyward,  one 300lb lump chunk landing on the roof  of an Oldsmobile 88 and trashing it, the exploding whale story keeping many a bar-fly occupied for months afterward, even though the reality had been anything but funny.

Taiwan was the location, on a beach in 2004, on January 26,where another beached whale blew up explosively, this time because decomposition gases exploded from the decaying corpse. Fifty men had manoeuvred the huge body onto a flat-bed truck to transport it, over a gruelling 13 hours.

It was driven slowly through the local town of Tainan, where a 600-strong crowd, enjoying snack foods, were ignoring the chilly weather to see what was going on. In the centre of town, those gases finally caused the bursting of the  whale corpse, splattering blood and whale guts over everything around it.

Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, locals experienced the same thing, but on a local beach, the blubber reportedly hanging off nearby trees for weeks afterwards. In 2001, a humpback, beached near South African Port Elizabeth, and Southern White, beached by Cape Town in 2005 both got blown up to dispose of the bodies.

It is not at all uncommon for whales to beach, or for those living nearby to want to dispose of the bodies as efficiently as humanly possible, but such sad sights are a tragic reminder of the delicacy of oceanic eco-systems and the vulnerability of wildlife, and blowing up these tragic remains is nothing whatever to be amused about.

This blog post is an official entry for the Law Blogger’s Scholarship, sponsored by The Law Office of Joshua Pond, http://www.joshuapondlaw.com.

What I read was that Jerry Sandusky was accused of molesting 10+ boys over a span of 15+yrs. To me this is absolutely ashtonshing that he can get away with that for as long as he did. It might show that kids really don’t know how to confront problems.

Something that was also troubling was that Paterno never told police! There is some, but little justification to his lack of action.

For example: A less respected collegue comes up to you and tells you that an even more respected collegue, and friend is molesting boys in the Penn State shower room. What do you do?!

Asking yourself things like that makes it seem a little better right? Well it shouldnt.

As legendary as Paterno was, and as highly respected as he was, he made a terrible mistake, and im sure regretted every econd of it. Which brings his death (which I am deeply sorry for) back into question. Did cancer kill him? Or was his heart just ready to burst anyway.
