The end is so near. I can taste it.

[rockouthippie]

After that, the end of the world just doesn't seem like it's such a bad thing.

[PriligySir]

Oh, that's Great Sir !!

[ElChevelle]

Seriously, I'm so gravely ill right now, I feel I'll be lucky to make to December

Over 70 Buddhist monks were hospitalized in attacked by giant bee swarm

More than 70 Buddhist monks were hospitalized in northern Thailand on June 23 after being attacked by a giant swarm of bees, according to news reports. It was unclear what provoked the bees, which were from hives kept at the monks' temple and had never posed a threat previously.

Bees from several of the hives attacked the monks while they were sweeping the grounds of the Luang Worawihan temple in Chiang Mai province. Of the 76 monks who had to be rushed to the hospital with stings, 19 were in serious condition and six were in a coma, according to the Deccan Herald.

Temples often keep beehives, as the wax is useful for making candles.

Bees typically swarm in the late spring and early summer, when their numbers have grown to the point that half of them must break away from their hive and form a new colony elsewhere. The behavior is controlled by pheromones, or chemical signals, given off by the colony's queen.

Attacks are also escalated by pheromones. When a bee stings, it not only injects toxins into the victim, it also releases alarm pheromones. When these chemical signals are given off near a hive or swarm, they can trigger other bees to come to their colony mate's defense, often attacking until the victim flees or is killed



When one person comes to another victim's aid, the bees will sometimes turn on the newcomer, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In this way, bee attacks can escalate and spread.

Multiple bee stings can induce nausea, rashes and difficulty breathing. Large doses of the venom cause a sharp drop in blood pressure and can be fatal in humans.

I'd pay you to stop horrifying me with those movie clips!

That movie looks great, and I will watch it as soon as possible.... After my action packed rampage in Just Cause 2.

Big, unusual April earthquake rattled the globe, scientists say

September 27th, 2012 09:15 AM

A huge earthquake that struck beneath the Indian Ocean in April triggered an extraordinary burst of large quakes around the world that alerted scientists to new seismic hazards everywhere.



Seismologists have known for more than 20 years that major earthquakes can trigger small seismic slips thousands of miles away. But the one on April 11 caused what scientists termed an astonishing increase in dangerous quake activity across five continents for at least six days, with temblors in, among other places, Japan, Alaska, Mexico and off the coast of Oregon.

It was a highly unusual event: At least four seismic faults deep underground off the island of Sumatra ruptured within 100 seconds to create a single giant quake with a combined magnitude of 8.7. No major problems occurred anywhere on land, but its effects worldwide call for a new assessment of global dangers, said scientists reporting in the current issue of Nature.

The quake was the largest of its kind ever recorded, they said. And two hours later a fifth fault ruptured nearby, resulting in another major quake with a magnitude of 8.2.

Among the scores of temblors that followed for nearly a week, 16 were registered with magnitudes greater than 5.5, and one of the strongest, in Baja California, had a magnitude of 7.0, larger than the deadly Loma Prieta quake of 1989.


"While the likelihood of events this big is extremely rare, it tells us that when it's over it's not over, and that there's no such thing as an all clear," said Ross S. Stein, a U.S. Geological Survey geophysicist and specialist in seismic hazards.

The unexpectedly dangerous quake in the Indian Ocean was a "strike-slip" temblor, the same type as the infamous San Francisco quake of 1906 on the San Andreas fault, where one side of the Earth's crust moved horizontally past the other side.

But in the far larger seabed quake near Sumatra , the fault rupture sent seismic shock waves speeding through the Earth's surface in every direction, triggering quakes as far as 12,500 miles away.

Scientists at the USGS in Menlo Park, Calif., and those at the University of California campuses in Berkeley and Santa Cruz, the University of Utah and at two French seismic institutions analyzed the events and published three major reports Wednesday in Nature.

The number and size of the triggered quakes was "astonishing," Stein said. At least 16 quakes registered at magnitudes larger than 5.5, representing a sudden five-fold increase in seismic activity around the world, he noted.

Surface waves from the undersea quake -- known as Love waves -- raced across the world in three hours, triggering scores of small temblors, the scientists reported. Some faults as far away as Mexico and Japan ruptured six days later with unusually strong ground shaking.

"If those quakes had been in an urban area, they could potentially have been disastrous," said Roland Burgmann, a UC Berkeley geophysicist and co-author of the Nature report along with Fred Pollitz, Stein and Volkan Sevilgen, of the Geological Survey.

Some of the faults that ruptured into temblors and were triggered by the Indian Ocean quake were already unstable, noted Pollitz, a research geophysicist at USGS.

"We now know that quakes as big as the April one can be felt all over the world and can trigger other quakes everywhere when they are almost ready to fail," he said.

The April quake had struck in the same ocean region as the powerful and much more destructive quake of 2004, which struck with a magnitude 9.1 and generated the tsunami that killed more than 200,000 people. That one was similar to Japan's offshore Tohuku quake of March, 2011, which also caused a tsunami that destroyed the nation's largest nuclear power plant and drowned 20,000 people.

Those two temblors, however, did not trigger any observable quakes anywhere, the scientists said, and their seismic motion was entirely different. They were called "megathrust" quakes, where one side of the fault in each quake suddenly thrust itself over the other side rather than sliding past each other. That kind of seismic motion does not trigger the shock waves that travel as far as strike-slip quakes, nor do they trigger detectable quakes anywhere else, Pollitz said.

In another Nature report, Thorne Lay and Han Yue of UC Santa Cruz and Keith Koper of the University of Utah analyzed the April quake's unusually complicated fault ruptures. The resulting quake, they said, apparently broke through the upper part of a huge tectonic slab of the Earth's crust called the Indo-Australian Plate that butts against the Indian subcontinent.

As a result, Lay said, the plate is apparently continuing to fragment into two separate tectonic plates and ultimately will create a new plate boundary -- a process that will take millions of years and require hundreds if not thousands of similar earthquakes before it is complete, he said.

Have you tried the multiplayer mod yet?

We have the last 6 weeks of 2012 now, before 2013 should come, and 5 weeks, before christmas should come...
Since the Nineties I am afraid of the 21st December 2012 so much. I wanted to enjoy my life a little bit, before that day will come (and maybe I will die), but I had only trouble since so many months. Fortunately I am able to escape into my inner world...
But maybe I had already "My Personal 21st December 2012" on 23rd June. The evening before everything was okay. It was terrible for me to see the burnt apartment of my mother. Is that the "Ground Zero", from which I had my terrible visions already in March? But 2012 itself is a very terrible year, and so many friends of me can confirm that, too...
Okay, I can do the following things: I can listen to the music at my computer and outside, because music makes it so much easier for me. And I can pick up very good music quickly...
To stay with the music:
The Timewriter - Extratiefe

Maybe I will be in the bed after the 21st December and I will wake up on the 22nd December to see: "Nothing has changed"...

I have discovered a photo in Facebook today and also a comment, and I know, we have 21 days now, before the 21st December will come. I have replied in Facebook with this video:
Marko Furstenberg - Juni KK (Kollektiv Turmstrasse dub remix)

But I want to see other things than this on the 21st December, of course...

WE ARE DOOMED!

No doubt about it.

I have been invited to many Facebook Live Events directly on the 21st December. It seems, they all are celebrating big partys directly on that day...
2012 will have passed soon. As an artist I really wanted to compose new songs this year, but I wasn't able to do that (maybe because of too many private problems this year). I have failed totally, that's a shame for me...
What should I do? I think, I know what to do, and enjoying the music directly in the big internet platforms in Full HD makes my life a little bit easier in these days...

Syria loads chemical weapons into bombs; military awaits Assad's order


By Jim Miklaszewski and M. Alex Johnson, NBC News


The Syrian military is prepared to use chemical weapons against its own people and is awaiting final orders from President Bashar Assad, U.S. officials told NBC News on Wednesday.

Andrea Mitchell, Robert Windrem, Courtney Kube and Catherine Chomiak of NBC News contributed to this report. Follow M. Alex Johnson on Twitter and Facebook.

The military has loaded the precursor chemicals for sarin, a deadly nerve gas, into aerial bombs that could be dropped onto the Syrian people from dozens of fighter-bombers, the officials said.

As recently as Tuesday, officials had said there was as yet no evidence that the process of mixing the "precursor" chemicals had begun. But Wednesday, they said their worst fears had been confirmed: The nerve agents were locked and loaded inside the bombs.

It doesn't need to happen directly on the 21st December itself, every other day is possible for "The End Of The World"...
I can only say, Planet Earth had already an impact 65 million years ago, and our dinosaurs are extinct now...
Many scenarios are possible: the explosion of a super volcano, an impact, the global warming, a nuclear war or another nuclear disaster and much more (maybe I have forgotten something now)...
In the radio-chats of the SHOUTcast Radio Stations we have also the discussions about the 21st December...

Do You want to know, how bad does the economy be now?...
And it continues, the economy becomes worse and worse...
I mean also the financial situations, more and more people get financial problems...
Maybe it's a personal end-of-world-feeling, and Planet Earth itself will survive...

I have enough with the terrible year 2012 now, really enough...
Not only our own family has become victims of terrible destinys this year, also many of our best friends, and can I say: many of them...
We have just got the next bad news via e-mail. I cannot understand, why all these things happen now, and I don't want to believe that, but it has happened (again)...
I have to write some PMs now...
And I want a better year! (finally)...
