Hey, I'm Hannah!
I grew up in the San Francisco area and graduated from Lewis and Clark College in Portland in 2012. After graduating I worked in rural Thailand as a volunteer teacher for a year and was fortunate to be able to do a bit of traveling throughout the country as well as explore a bit of Cambodia, Indonesia and China. I love to scuba dive, eat/cook good food, play Ultimate Frisbee and travel - have traveled in the U.S.,Mexico, Europe, Australia and hoping to explore more of Asia. I would say I am a relaxed, but organized traveler - ideally having plan A about where I will be going/staying but having plan B or C for backup. My favorite movie is Forest Gump and my favorite food is spaghetti, but I also LOVE ice cream (especially mint chocolate chip). Music - I like all kinds.

It's a question us journalists hear all the time – especially after the three-week swing of racing at Fontana, Las Vegas, and Atlanta. If I had to count up all the random emails in my inbox from fans this month, hidden somewhere in between "Why don't you treat Junior more fairly" and "you suck because of A, B, and C" is a basic complaint about NASCAR's "cookie cutter" racing facilities, ending with, "Why can't the sport build more tracks like the one they have in Bristol?" I hear you, guys … I hear you loud and clear. Read More »
Reutimann Proving Old Guys And Big Dreams Can Still Come Together In Cup
Three races in, the NASCAR Sprint Cup point standings read like a who's who of stock car racing. Four-time champ Jeff Gordon leads the pack, followed by reigning Nationwide King Clint Bowyer, Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth, fellow Roush Fenway superstar Greg Biffle, and … David Reutimann? Nope, that's not a misprint, folks. Read More »
Can Jeff Gordon Lead Hendrick Motorsports Again?
In racing, there's that old analogy of "second place is the first loser." And in certain ways Sunday, Jeff Gordon did come up short. As Matt Kenseth celebrated in Victory Lane late into the night at Fontana, Gordon saw his winless streak extended to 42 points-paying events -- tying the worst stretch of his 16-year career. But for Gordon, losing out on the California Oscar couldn't completely erase the momentum of finishing runner-up. Two races in, a second place finish -- combined with a strong Daytona performance derailed only by the weather -- has momentum back in the corner of Team No. 24. And when you're dealing with a man who's won more Cup races in the past 20 years than anyone else, that's not something to be taken lightly by the rest of the competition. Read More »
Five Feel Good Stories Giving The Great American Race An Unexpected Boost
Heading into Speedweeks, Martin Truex, Jr.'s No. 1 on the side of his Chevy was synonymous with the one piece left alone from a desperation merger. Now, that "1" stands for something far more exciting -- Daytona 500 pole sitter -- closing out a weekend that's given hope to people looking for some different faces up front next Sunday. "The guys felt good about this all winter," Truex said after pulling what had to be labeled a minor upset. "They've felt like they've had a shot at coming down here and sitting on the front row for the 500. I'm just the lucky guy who gets to sit in that seat and drive that thing." Read More »
Hoping For Some NASCAR Give And Take In 2009
Dear NASCAR Faithful, The offseason is over, and I can't wait! What a refreshing change from the past few years; it's amazing what a couple of weeks off not having to cover test after test in December and January will do for your tired soul. After a disappointing year, the worst thing to happen when the racing doesn't match the hype is to have it hammered into your head day in, day out.

Why We Were Robbed Of The REAL Championship Chase
Come with me on a journey into the battle that could have been. Once upon a time, the laps are winding down at Homestead; and while you might not like a fuel mileage finish, for once, you're sitting there on the edge of your seat. Carl Edwards has made the daring gamble to go the final 66 laps on a tank of gas, canceling out the brilliant strategy of Jimmie Johnson and a two tire stop that finally got him the track position needed to run up front. Now, Johnson and crew chief Chad Knaus are staring at a terrifying dilemma; they know their car isn't capable of going the distance on fuel. Knowing a win by the No. 99 will likely cost them the title, Knaus doesn't know which direction to turn. Should he hope against hope his numbers are wrong, leave Johnson out, and hope he can save a little extra Sunoco? Or, should he send him out on a banzai effort to gain as many positions as possible, putting distance between the No. 48 and Edwards before shortpitting for fresh tires with 20 laps to go – a desperation maneuver in hopes new Goodyears can gain enough positions in time to save the championship?

Out With The Old, In With The Who?
For so many millions of us, favorite athletes become so much more. Role models for our kids, our communities, ourselves; they're put on a pedestal of success we can only wish to achieve. Through them, we choose to live our wildest dreams, placed in a fantasy world in which a larger-than-life persona can show us the joys of perfection. Every once in awhile, we get lucky in love, and the dream never dies. Our idols leave the sport we love at the top of their game, and we're allowed to remember the end just the way we want it – like a fairy tale. But more often, the bubble bursts and we find out the truth – that these drivers we worship are human, too, unable to fend off the inevitability of age and time. And that makes it so much harder when you see their careers come crashing down. Read More »
Edwards And Co. Driving With Nothing To Lose
Sometimes, in love and in life, you have to take a gamble. But not everyone chooses to do so at the right time. Just like a craps table in Vegas, people will walk away before they've taken the chance they need to really get somewhere. Or, maybe they'll roll one too many times, and hundreds of dollars in winnings will get wiped out with a simple throw. But for those who play it just right, a gamble can be a wonderful thing. For all intents and purposes, Carl Edwards took his 2008 Sprint Cup championship, threw it on the table, grabbed the dice, and rolled Sunday night. Read More »
With The Chase Halfway Done, Experience — Not Youth — Has Already Won
As one of the younger NASCAR writers on the beat, it's easy to get caught up in the hype surrounding a changing of the guard in this sport. So early on, it came as no surprise I was ready to jump on board with a season in which Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards spent the Spring and Summer trading punches back and forth in their battle for Sprint Cup supremacy. A seemingly unstoppable force on the track and off it, one of the two appeared ready to rise as the first 20-something champion since Busch's brother Kurt in 2004. And if that wasn't enough, these men had personalities about as volatile as Mt. St. Helen itself. They didn't like each other to the point they loved trading verbal barbs, and a title Chase between the two seemed destined for its own set of National Enquirer headlines. But as August turned into September, both men got busy figuring out the code needed to go from self-important to self-destruct. By September, it was Jimmie Johnson, not those two, which had the upper hand, carrying out this year's playoffs to perfection in marking his territory across the Sprint Cup leaderboard. And with each passing week, we've discovered that the edge Johnson owned could suddenly be chalked up to both Carl Edwards' and Kyle Busch's major weakness: experience. Read More »
Time For Joe Gibbs Racing To Fight — Not Fold — Through Its Dark Nightmare
"Adversity is a fact of life. It can't be controlled. What we can control is how we react to it." _Anonymous_ Things can change quickly in the landscape of professional sports, and no one knows that better than Hall of Fame football coach Joe Gibbs. His race team spent the first six months of 2008 threatening to rewrite the history books on several modern era NASCAR records; instead, they'll be spending the next seven weeks dealing with the aftermath of a historic collapse. To say he's got a lot of work ahead these next few days would be an understatement. Those words may be easy to write; but for this multi-car giant of an operation, it looks increasingly harder to accept. Read More »

Astronomers Discover Something 'You Would Expect an Alien Civilization to Build', and SETI Wants a LookPosted by Greg at 14:52, 13 Oct 2015
Well this is interesting. Astronomers have spotted a strange bunch of objects around a distant star - "like something you would expect an alien civilization to build" - and SETI is scrambling for a closer look:
In 2011, several citizen scientists flagged one particular star as "interesting" and "bizarre." The star was emitting a light pattern that looked stranger than any of the others Kepler was watching.
The light pattern suggests there is a big mess of matter circling the star, in tight formation. That would be expected if the star were young. When our solar system first formed, four and a half billion years ago, a messy disk of dust and debris surrounded the sun, before gravity organized it into planets, and rings of rock and ice.
But this unusual star isn't young. If it were young, it would be surrounded by dust that would give off extra infrared light. There doesn't seem to be an excess of infrared light around this star.
...And yet, there is this mess of objects circling it. A mess big enough to block a substantial number of photons that would have otherwise beamed into the tube of the Kepler Space Telescope. If blind nature deposited this mess around the star, it must have done so recently. Otherwise, it would be gone by now. Gravity would have consolidated it, or it would have been sucked into the star and swallowed, after a brief fiery splash.
[T]his light pattern doesn't show up anywhere else, across 150,000 stars. We know that something strange is going on out there.
...Jason Wright, an astronomer from Penn State University, is set to publish an alternative interpretation of the light pattern. SETI researchers have long suggested that we might be able to detect distant extraterrestrial civilizations, by looking for enormous technological artifacts orbiting other stars. Wright and his co-authors say the unusual star's light pattern is consistent with a "swarm of megastructures," perhaps stellar-light collectors, technology designed to catch energy from the star.
"When [Boyajian] showed me the data, I was fascinated by how crazy it looked," Wright told me. "Aliens should always be the very last hypothesis you consider, but this looked like something you would expect an alien civilization to build."

Support High-Quality UFO Research and Receive a Deluxe Collector's Edition of 'Wonders in the Sky', by Jacques Vallee and Chris AubeckPosted by Greg at 23:37, 01 Oct 2015
The scientific investigation of the UFO phenomenon is a relatively new endeavour, with less than seven decades having passed since the sightings in the late 1940s which propelled UFOs into the limelight through modern media. And one of the longest serving, and most highly respected investigators is Jacques Vallee.
Jacques has been fascinated with UFOs since a well-publicised 'wave' in Europe in 1954 (he is from France originally), and his own sighting of a metallic saucer in 1955. He has spent the decades since traveling the world, interviewing witnesses, and authoring a number of best-selling books not just on UFOS, but also on their effects on belief systems and how they might be manipulated.
(During that time he also managed to complete a Master of Science in astrophysics, a Ph.D. in computer science, win the Jules Verne Prize for his first science-fiction novel.)
One of the most important results of Jacques' research was the realisation that the UFO phenomenon extended well back before those first, well-publicised sightings in the late 1940s. In his seminal book Passport to Magonia* he published a chronological 'catalogue' of UFO sightings that began with a case from July 1868 and listed many more from the same century.
More recently, this catalogue was extended in the book Wonders in the Sky: Unexplained Aerial Objects from Antiquity to Modern Times, co-authored by Jacques and researcher Chris Aubeck, which detailed sightings of strange objects from millennia past.
The exciting news is that Jacques and Chris - and like-minded researchers from the 'MagoniaX' group - have continued researching this historical aspect and are ready to release a new, significantly updated edition of Wonders in the Sky. And they're doing so in an exciting way - they are hoping to release the book as a special, deluxe Collector's Edition, limited to 500 copies, which will help fund further high-quality research into the UFO phenomenon.
Employing the benefits of modern crowd-funding platforms, they have now launched a campaign where you can get in early and be one of the lucky few to get your hands on what will surely be one of the most sought-after limited-edition 'esoteric' books in future decades.
Here's Jacques explaining things himself:
The goal of this campaign is to publish a collector's limited edition of Wonders in the Sky. And by supporting this project you will also be supporting UFO research. Help us facilitate future investigations.
Research has flourished in the last five years, with remarkable material added and unique color images obtained from collections and museums all over the world. With the manuscript completed, and the prototype prepared, we now need your help to independently publish this next generation of Wonders that takes the study and research of UFOs to a higher level. We hope you will support our campaign and come to love your book for both its artistic beauty and scientific merit.
This new unique Limited Edition (only 500 signed, numbered and slipcased copies will ever be produced) represents the culmination of many years of exhaustive scientific research.
...Our expanded and updated Wonders in the Sky contains 106 color images of rare photographs and illustrations. These images have been rendered from high quality digital images to create a work of lasting beauty as well as science.
The campaign launches 'officially' next week, but as a good friend of the Daily Grail, Jacques has been kind enough to give us a few days advance notice so that we can get it in early. To ensure you can get a copy of this limited edition masterwork - or even just to chip in a smaller amount to help support further research -head over to the Wonders in the Sky campaign page now.

Fire in the Sky: The Inside Story (An Exclusive Excerpt from Silver Screen Saucers)Posted by red pill junkie at 03:28, 29 Sep 2015
Like the Daily Grail on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter, to find more fascinating articles like this one.
If you're into UFOs and alien abductions, chances are that in 1993 you rushed to your nearest multiplex to watch Fire in the Sky, the Hollywood movie based on Travis Walton's homonymous book.
Chances also are, that nearing the end of it you felt an overpowering compulsion to throw your bag of popcorn on to the screen, and yell "THAT'S NOT HOW IT HAPPENED!" as you stormed out of the theater --or were escorted out in handcuffs. Fact is, Fire in the Sky is paradoxical in being the best AND worst cinematic depiction of the alien abduction phenomenon in a major motion picture.
In an exclusive excerpt from his book Silver Screen Saucers [Amazon US & UK], film researcher and author Robbie Graham shares with us the inside story of what really happened during the arduous journey to bring Fire in the Sky to the big screen; a movie studios rejected from the get-go, because they couldn't understand it or place it in the usual Sci-Fi box where they put all aliens and space monsters.
In a way, Hollywood's repudiation of abductions is but a symptom of how our society at large still hasn't found a way to tackle with this confounding phenomena, even 4 decades after Travis Walton suffered his amazing experience in a snowy Arizonian woods. Which is why Robbie's work is so important for the people inside and outside of the UFOlogy field.
by ROBBIE GRAHAM
Screenwriter reveals why that infamous abduction scene was so creatively distorted…
1993 saw the release of Fire in the Sky – Hollywood's take on the famous Travis Walton UFO abduction case of 1975, in which the Arizona logger claimed to have been taken aboard a flying saucer and later into an expansive spaceport, and to have interacted with two different species of aliens – the now archetypal 'Grays' (or a variant of them), and attractive human-looking beings (commonly known in UFOlogy as 'Nordics'). What distinguishes Walton's story from innumerable other accounts of cosmic kidnapping is that his apparent abduction was witnessed in part by the six other men on his logging crew. They sped back into town that night to inform bemused authorities of how a UFO had zapped Travis in front of their very eyes. Assuming he was dead, the terrified loggers had left their colleague where he lay, the saucer looming above his lifeless body.
A swirling storm of confusion, anger, and allegations was soon to descend on the sleepy town of Snowflake. The loggers, having reported to police that their friend had been
Fifty Shades of Greys from 1895Posted by Chris Savia at 05:26, 27 Sep 2015
Over at the Public Domain Review, there's a few scans from The physiotherapy in gynecology and the mechanical treatment of diseases of the uterus and its appendages by Thure Brandt. These images are eerily familiar for those steeped in forteana, featuring figures with gracile bodies, large heads, largely featureless faces, and big, dark eyes.
Thankfully these are a far cry from the hairy, hippy-sex sketches from The Joy of Sex, it does make one wonder if a copy was on the shelf of Betty Hill's alien gynecologist. Check out the rest for yourself! h/t to Undine on Twitter for sharing this gem.
Snowden vs Fermi: Aliens Might be Encrypting their MessagesPosted by red pill junkie at 03:46, 22 Sep 2015
The say that to a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail. That might explain why world-famous computer hacker --and unofficial Public Enemy #1-- Edward Snowden thinks the reason why our Universe seems to be devoid of chatty aliens, is because they might be more security-conscious than us, Earthlings, and choose to encrypt all of their communications to render them indistinguishable from cosmic background noise.
Snowden threw his 2 bitcoins out there during a 'robot-enabled' conversation with Neil deGrasse Tyson, on his popular Star Talk radio show --the robot was a moving screen which allowed Neil to interact with the wanted engineer, from the comfort of his office at the Hayden Planetarium.
"When we think about everything we're hearing from our satellites, or everything they're hearing from our civilization, if there are indeed aliens out there, all of their communications are encrypted by default. So what we're hearing — which is actually an alien television show or a phone call or a message between their planet and their own GPS constellation, whatever it happens to be — is indistinguishable to us from cosmic microwave background radiation."
Snowden sees this as the natural progression every technologically-advanced civilizations would go through, while Neil rightly pointed out that perhaps aliens would not have to deal with the same type of 'security issues' as we do, meaning the fear of being spied by their government; maybe they are TRULY advanced and don't even need governments in their society --K-Pax anyone?
But perhaps the young computer engineer's solution to the Fermi paradox works better in terms of a possible external threat, behind the so-called 'Great Filter' proposed by Robin Hanson to explain the confounding silence of the Cosmos. Something like a Galactus-like entity which feeds off young, naive civilizations, or advanced aliens who destroy nascent sentient races, the minute they are fool enough to start shouting out their position in the galaxy, like newly-hatched chicks attracting the attention of a snake --if you're a Mass Effect fan, the scenario is quite easy to grasp…
Of course, having the chance to have an exclusive interview with *the* American whistle-blower of the XXIst century, it was impossible for the discussion not to veer into the issues of privacy under our current state of digital surveillance. But the 1st part of the conversation was by far the most enjoyable, because it was a lighthearted chat between two geeks who share a common passion about Science and knowledge --hearing Snowden admit he once read a metallurgy book "just for fun", and that his biggest regret about dropping out from High.school is that he missed the chance to learn more about chemistry in his teens, is perhaps the closest we've ever gotten to knowing who he really is as a person.
But then again, more important than acquiring knowledge is HOW you choose to make use of it. Neil deGrasse Tyson used his knowledge to help the public open their eyes about the wonders up above. Snowden used his to the help the public open their eyes about the rottenness down below.
One of them ended up being a beloved public figure. The other one will perhaps never set foot again on his home.
Talk about a paradox, huh?.
First Reported Alien Abduction Case to be Made into Major Motion PicturePosted by red pill junkie at 19:05, 21 Sep 2015
The Hills are going to Hollywood. Variety reported last week that Bryce Zabel --producer of the TV series Dark Skies-- and his wife Jackie --who wrote the story for Disney's Atlantis-- are teaming up with Gotham/Principal to bring one of the most famous alien abduction cases to the silver screen.
The movie will be based on the book 'Captured!' [Amazon US & UK] co-written by Stanton Friedman and Kathleen Marden, the niece of the late Betty Hill, who had an alleged encounter with humanoid entities along with her recently-wed husband Barney; the beings took them aboard a wingless, circular craft to perform a series of medical procedures on them, on the night of September 19th. 1961.
Producers plan to make the film in a context of both Cold War paranoia and the country's struggle over race relations.
"Captured is a true story that explores the birth of modern UFO lore through the eyes of the first Americans to report that they were kidnapped by aliens," said Eric Robinson, who will also produce the film on behalf of Gotham/Principal. "This is an exciting story that is as intriguing, timely and ripe for adaptation today as it was 54 years ago when this incident occurred."
Stellar CEO Jackie Zabel said the Hills were unique in a number of aspects.
"They were an interracial couple in a country that still had segregation laws, and they lived in a city that was next door to a bomber base bristling with nuclear weapons," she noted. "What they knew and why they were targeted will make for a phenomenal film."
Not only is the Hills case the first documented example of what would be later known as the 'alien abduction' phenomenon, but it has also been one of the most heavily debated. All sorts of theories and hypotheses have been proposed by people on both sides of the UFO camp to explain the incredible account of this interracial couple; from notable skeptic Philip Klass claiming the Hills were spooked by the planet Jupiter, to pro-UFO researchers speculating on whether they might have been the subject of some kind of military experiment --Betty and Barney had members of the Air Force among their closest friends, and it was in fact one of them who suggested the Hills the use of hypnotic regression as a way to solve the problem of the 'missing time' they experienced during the night of the UFO sighting, which had been causing a lot of anxiety on the distressed couple.
But what both skeptics and believers seem to be in agreement, is that the Hills were *not* charlatans or attention seekers; they were two honest, hard-working people who were reluctantly driven to worldwide fame after their story was leaked to the press, and were telling the truth as they perceived it. Dr. Benjamin Simon, the psychiatrist and hypnosis expert who treated them --who also had connections with the Army-- believed the story that emerged in the sessions was the result of Betty's dreams, which had ended up influencing Barney's recollections. The Hills never accepted that theory, and were adamant they had been physically taken inside a circular craft while under the influence of some type of mind control --here's important to remember a large portion of the experience was consciously recalled by the Hills, including the several times Barney stopped the car to take a look at the object in the sky which seemed to be following them and getting nearer, and how he used his binoculars to observe humanoid figures clad in black Nazi-like 'uniforms', who seemed to be observing him inside the craft with a malevolent expression.
This new project will not be the first time the Hills case has been dramatized into a movie, though. In 1975 James Earl Jones and Estelle Parsons starred in the TV film The UFO Incident, based on John G. Fuller's book The Interrupted Journey. As a movie fan I can only say it will be tough to surpass James Earl Jones' masterful performance, especially in the scene in which Barney is in Dr. Simon's office, hypnotized and re-experiencing the terror he felt that night when he realized they were about to be captured, and suddenly stands as if wanting to storm out of the room while yelling "I gotta get my gun!"; this is in my humble opinion one of the best moments in his acting career.
Considering there's never been a good abduction movie come out of Hollywood studios --Fire in the Sky is passable, but The Fourth Kind is just atrocious-- here's hoping Captured! manages to become the exception. I also hope the Zabels manage to show a glimpse of the high-strangeness which haunted the Hills after their abduction, as portrayed by Marden and Friedman in the book --even though I get the feeling they're not planning to deviate too much from the typical ETH scenario.
We will keep you up to date regarding this story, and inform you when a release date and an official title is announced*
(*) With at least 6 movies bearing the title 'Captured' in IMDB's database --not to mention all the *ahem* gay romance books available on Amazon-- I think it would be wise for the producers to seek a more original name for their new film... how 'bout 'A Star Map for Two'? ;)
End of an Era: MUFON Founder Passes AwayPosted by red pill junkie at 03:55, 19 Sep 2015
The largest UFO organization in the world (MUFON) is mourning the loss of its founder, Walter H. Andrus Jr. (1920-2015).
Born in Des Moines, Iowa, Andrus's life-long interest in UFOs began in 1948, when he along with his wife and son had a daylight sighting of four objects flying in formation over downtown Phoenix, Arizona. He then became a regional officer of APRO, one of the leading UFO organizations in the United States back in the day.
In 1969, one year after the infamous Condon Report had given the Air Force the excuse they needed to end their official involvement in the study of UFOs, Andrus founded the then-called Midwest UFO Network --later renamed Mutual UFO Network-- based out in Seguin, Texas, taking a bunch of APRO members with him along also with disenfranchised members of NICAP --the other major UFO organization in the United States-- after their original founder Major Donald Keyhoe was forced to resign and the group came in the hands of a new leadership. In his two books UFOs and the National Security State [Amazon US & UK]Richard Dolan explains how this internal coup in NICAP seemed to have been orchestrated by the American intelligence community, as a way to finally neutralize a feisty civilian organization which had always protested the official cover-up maintained by the government on the UFO phenomenon. At the same time, APRO was also infiltrated and undermined, most notably when one of his directors --Bill Moore-- become involved with Richard Doty in the disinformation campaign which eventually caused the nervous breakdown of Paul Bennewitz, as described in Greg Bishop's book Project Beta [Amazon US & UK] and Mark Pilkington's Mirage Men.
(Speaking about undercover neutralization of UFO groups, I've always suspected Robert Bigelow's involvement with MUFON, during the time when James Carrion was International Director, was an attempt to repeat the same undermining cycle)
NICAP slowly fizzled and died under the new administration, and APRO didn't survive after the death of its founders, Jim and Coral Lorenzen --who never forgave Andrus for what they considered a personal betrayal after he left and founded MUFON; the same could also be said about Dr. Hynek's CUFOS --even though technically it still exists. Andrus on the other hand, lead his group from 1970 to July of 2000, when he retired from his position as International Director, and was succeeded by John F. Schuessler.
Despite my personal caveats with MUFON for its bias towards the extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH), one cannot deny Walter Andrus succeeded where his peers clearly did not: Creating a well-established civilian organization robust enough to survive the passing of its original founder(s); an organization with visibility outside the small niche of UFOlogy, comprised of dedicated members and hard-working field investigators, who try (as best they can) to apply a structured methodology when researching a phenomenon which challenges many of the most basic principles of the scientific method.
Here's hoping MUFON --or other organizations rising to the challenge UFOs pose-- will try to learn from the mistakes of the past, embrace new technologies ASWELL as different perspectives, and continue to honor the efforts of those pioneers who dedicated their lives in the search for answers.
Rest in Peace.
NASA Discovers a Global Ocean Lies Beneath the Icy Crust of Saturn's Moon EnceladusPosted by Greg at 22:42, 15 Sep 2015
Ten years ago the Cassini space probe first discovered mysterious geysers of water erupting from the polar regions of one of Saturn's moons, the ice-covered Enceladus. After much analysis, last year NASA scientists said there was evidence that this water was coming from a sub-surface ocean beneath the pole. But today, they have revised that conclusion - and now believe that there is a global ocean beneath the icy crust of the Saturnian moon.
In a paper published online this week in the journal Icarus, the researchers outline how a very slight wobble in the movement of Enceladus can only be accounted for if the outer, visible ice shell is not frozen solid to the moon's core:
Previous analysis of Cassini data suggested the presence of a lens-shaped body of water, or sea, underlying the moon's south polar region. However, gravity data collected during the spacecraft's several close passes over the south polar region lent support to the possibility the sea might be global. The new results -- derived using an independent line of evidence based on Cassini's images -- confirm this to be the case.
"This was a hard problem that required years of observations, and calculations involving a diverse collection of disciplines, but we are confident we finally got it right," said Peter Thomas, a Cassini imaging team member at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, and lead author of the paper.
Cassini scientists analyzed more than seven years' worth of images of Enceladus taken by the spacecraft, which has been orbiting Saturn since mid-2004. They carefully mapped the positions of features on Enceladus -- mostly craters -- across hundreds of images, in order to measure changes in the moon's rotation with extreme precision.
As a result, they found Enceladus has a tiny, but measurable wobble as it orbits Saturn. Because the icy moon is not perfectly spherical -- and because it goes slightly faster and slower during different portions of its orbit around Saturn -- the giant planet subtly rocks Enceladus back and forth as it rotates.
The team plugged their measurement of the wobble, called a libration, into different models for how Enceladus might be arranged on the inside, including ones in which the moon was frozen from surface to core.
"If the surface and core were rigidly connected, the core would provide so much dead weight the wobble would be far smaller than we observe it to be," said Matthew Tiscareno, a Cassini participating scientist at the SETI Institute, Mountain View, California, and a co-author of the paper. "This proves that there must be a global layer of liquid separating the surface from the core."
The mystery that remains is how this ocean remains in liquid form, rather than freezing. The researchers think it's possibly due to heat from tidal forces generated by Saturn's massive presence nearby.
And the question that is posed by the discovery is: if there is a massive water ocean beneath the surface of Enceladus, could there be alien life living there, out of sight of our prying eyes?
Cassini will make a super-close flyby of Enceladus in late October, passing a mere 30 miles/50 km above the moon's surface through the icy plumes erupting from within.
The Silver Screen Saucers Have Landed!Posted by red pill junkie at 23:17, 11 Sep 2015
Good news everyone! Robbie Graham's long awaited book Silver Screen Saucers: Sorting Fract from Fantasy in Hollywood's UFO Movies is now available. What started out as Robbie's doctoral thesis eventually morphed and was abducted by Destiny itself --see what I did there?-- in order to become one of the most highly anticipated UFO books of this year.
More so than any other medium, cinema has shaped our expectations of potential alien life and visitation. From The Day the Earth Stood Still and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, to Battleship, Prometheus, and beyond, our hopes and fears of alien contact have been fuelled by the silver screen. But what messages does Hollywood impart to us about our possible otherworldly neighbours, from where do UFO movies draw their inspiration, and what other factors – cultural or conspiratorial – might influence their production and content? Silver Screen Saucers is a timely and revealing examination of the interplay between Hollywood's UFO movies and the UFO phenomenon itself, from 1950 to present day.
The book grants the reader a rare, close-up examination of the DNA that builds our perceptions of the UFO mystery. One strand of this DNA weaves real events, stories, and people from the historical record of UFOlogy, while the other spins and twists with the film and TV products they have inspired. With our alien dreams and nightmares now more fully visualized onscreen than ever before, Silver Screen Saucers asks the question: what does it all mean? Are all UFO stories just fever dreams from LA screenwriters, or are they sprung from something more tangible?
From interviews with screenwriters and directors whose visions have been shaped by their lifelong UFO obsessions; to Presidents talking UFOs with Hollywood heavyweights; to CIA and Pentagon manipulation of UFO-themed productions; to movie stars and producers being stalked by real Men in Black, Silver Screen Saucers provides fresh perspective on the frequently debated but little understood subject of UFOs & Hollywood.
I've been a fan (and a friend) of Robbie for quite a while. To say I can't wait to get my greasy palms on this book is an understatement as big as an ID4 mothership.
But wait, there's more! Robbie, along with his associates Bryce Zabel (producer of the cult TV series Dark Skies) and Ben Hansen (host of Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files) are right now in the middle of developing a TV adaptation of Silver Screen Saucers, and are currently pitching the series to the networks: Here's the sizzle reel:
Here's my 2 centavos, you guys: EFF the Jurassic networks! Pitch the show directly to Amazon. They already are the biggest retailer in the WORLD, so if they were to produce and distribute SSS as a free series, they could entice costumers to purchase those UFO/ET movies they *already* carry (along with the book itself). Win-win, y'all!

Glenn Campbell Reminisces with Area 51 'Cammo Dudes'Posted by red pill junkie at 00:49, 27 Aug 2015
It's like 1995 all over again! Glenn Campbell, the self-proclaimed 'former Area 51 guy' who helped put the infamous secret base on the map thanks to his Groom Lake Desert Rat newsletter, had a recent mano a mano with the private security personnel known fondly as 'the cammo dudes', who are in charge of patrolling the roads and areas surrounding the facility, and are known to threaten those curious onlookers drawn by the Dreamland allure.
The Groom Lake Desert Rat (1994-1997) --to which I was subscribed waaay back when-- documented the legal battle between Lincoln county's residents and the Air Force, when the latter decided to expand the territory of the Nevada test site so curious onlookers would have a harder time snooping around in search of Bob Lazar's 'reverse-engineered' saucers. The newsletter also covered several of the fringe rumors which were sprouting back in those merry days of suspicion, beer nights at the Little A'Le'Inn, and X-Files conspiranoia, including the tale of J-Rod, the alias of an engineer who claimed to have worked in the development of flight simulators intended to train Air Force pilots operate the reverse-engineered flying saucers; the story expanded upon Robert Lazar's previous allegations, but got even more complicated since 'J-Rod' was also the name of one of the Gray aliens collaborating with US government's reverse engineering program --the human J-Rod claimed his alien counterpart was fond of wearing terrestrial shirts; he also said Hungarian was the human language which had the closes resemblance to the Gray's own language, something I'm sure would have flattered Zsa Zsa Gabor a lot...
It was later found J-Rod 2 (the human engineer) was a man by the name of Bill Uhouse, who kept telling his (unverifiable) tales of secret alliances between the government and visitors from Zeta Reticulli to anyone who would listen, until he passed away in 2009.
As for Glenn Campbell, while he had officially withdrawn from the UFO scene and Area 51, the mischievous smirk he gives at the end of his clip tells me he's willing to relive the good ole times!

Angelo Cataldi Gives 11-Year-Old Jordan Bondrowski $500 For T-Mac Ball, Who Donates It All
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — History was made last Friday night at Citizens Bank Park, when Tom McCarthy caught a homerun ball (watch) while broadcasting the Phillies game from center field. McCarthy threw the ball—hit by Freddie Freeman of the Atlanta Braves—back on the field and eventually a Phillies ballgirl handed the ball to 11-year-old girl, Jordan Bondrowski.
On Wednesday, July 2nd Bondrowski received a $500 check from Angelo Cataldi on the 94WIP Morning Show for the McCarthy caught ball. Cataldi wants to return the piece of history to McCarthy, in hopes it eventually reaches the Hall Of Fame.
Photos: Jordan Bondrowski join the 94WIP Morning Show
Remarkably, Bondrowski—who joined Cataldi in studio with her father John and sister Lauren—stated, "Half of it I am going to give to Breast Cancer [Awareness] and half of it I'm going to give to the FOP Survivor's Fund for people that are less fortunate."
"I am overwhelmed," Cataldi said. You are an amazing young woman. You should be very proud of yourself."
McCarthy, who said the catch felt like it was in slow-motion, joined the show over the phone and said he will donate the $250 to Breast Cancer Awareness so Bondrowski doesn't have to.
"I want to bring Jordan actually, to a ballgame when we get back and bring her up to the booth and meet all the guys," McCarthy said.

Since I was 12 and first started jogging on city streets, I've always encountered leers and comments. I've jogged in suburban neighborhoods of Silicon Valley, the capital of Costa Rica, Paris, San Diego CA, etc. As your research bears out, I perceive it to be a simple fact of life and my only response has either been retreat or anger. As a 12-16 year old, I would often yell back my age, hoping to expose to the adult male that he was my father's age. My older brother believed I was exaggerating the extent of the staring and sexual comments, that perhaps I was flattering myself. Until, one day he ran with me. He was utterly shocked at how watched and violated he felt after experiencing the level of attention I received. He had an entirely new perspective on how poorly women and girls are treated in public, even with a chaperone. To this day, (25 years later), I will still reflexively flip off anyone who whistles or slows down to stare, etc. It sometimes makes me so angry I will chase after them and hit their car with my fists if they are forced to stop at an upcoming stoplight. I fully understand that some are raised to think that calling out sexual comments is a compliment, but I don't think they've thought it through – to have every single moment on a public street be an invitation for being sexualized is simply not fun.

I was in a taxi going back to my boyfriend's house from a night out at about 4 in the morning, and I was drunk. The taxi driver told me it would be 20$ and being drunk I handed him the money in order to not have to deal with it later.
He stopped the cab 3 blocks from my boyfriend's house in a really quiet, dark neighborhood, and got out. I got out of the taxi and asked him why he wasn't driving the next three blocks. He told me that if I didn't suck his dick, he would leave me there and drive off.
I walked back to the house in the dark, hiding in the shadows because I was afraid. I'm furious that I didn't take down his license number and report him.

When I was 16, I was walking to the bus stop in my nice, relatively safe neighborhood. As I passed an elementary school on a busy street, an adult businessman in a red sports car slowed down and offered me sex, a ride, and told me how hot I looked today. The most shocking thing was that he looked like he could be someones father, so normal and almost safe looking. I was horrified, and loudly told him I was 16, and why the hell did he think it was acceptable as a grown man to hit on a child? I told him his words were disgusting and inappropriate and walked away. Plenty of other people on the street heard and stared at the man with disgust. His shame and embarrassment at being called out was empowering.
Unfortunately, I don't currently hollaback at street harassers. This event happened in Seattle, and I now live alone in Fresno and rarely leave my apartment as I don't feel safe.

I was riding the number 3 bus northbound. A man boarded, sat down and loudly cracked a beer open. He then started to come on to the young Asian woman sitting next to him, trying to get her attention in Cantonese, making kissing motions at her, draping his arm over the back of his seat. She was visibly ignoring him and feeling uncomfortable. I reported him to the driver – first for the beer, then for the assault. The driver notified transit police but did nothing more.
Some guy, probably a couple years older than me, knew that I was looking at something in the distance when I was going into the station and he was leaving. He said "hi beautiful". I immediately turned around, looked him in the eyes and responded "That's not cool! Not cool." He seemed so taken aback that I actually responded with confidence instead of putting my head down and walking into the station, that all he could mutter way "okay."
I was walking home from work on Friday and the traffic was backed up so there was a line of cars by the sidewalk. I heard voices and I looked over and three guys in a car were whistling and yelling at me. Calling me names and telling me they'd give me a ride home. It's scary enough when you have one guy saying things to you but to have a car full of men yelling at me when I'm just trying to walk home is so frustrating and upsetting. People in the other cars nearby were looking to see who they were yelling at so it makes you feel completely on display and so embarrassed even though I didn't do anything wrong. I just want to be able to walk home without having a car full of guys yell at me. I don't think that's too much to ask.
On November 5, 2012 at roughly 11:50AM in Washington, D.C., I experienced street harassment. I was on my way to my local US post office in downtown (Gallery Place) to return my absentee voting ballot. A man was staring at me and leeringly said, "Pretty girl," as he passed. Given the fact that we could have been the same age (29 or early thirties), somehow it felt particularly demeaning, intrusive, and uncalled for. I said "Stop talking to me," but probably did not say it loud or assertively enough for him to have heard since he was already on his way.
Today when a car pulled up next to me with the window down, the passenger said, "You need a new bike, baby."
First of all, my bike IS new. Secondly, I don't even let my husband call me baby. Ugh.
Once, when I was walking home from school. This guy about the same age as me, offered me five dollars to suck his dick. I was stunned.
While my friend walks to class sometimes (more often than once) young male employees of the University who ride around campus on golf carts have holla'd at both her and other girls walking around campus while going to their destination. She says she thinks nothing of it, but the fact that it has happened on more than one occasion and to multiple girls, ESPECIALLY on University equipment by (probable) student employees is unacceptable. It is unprofessional, and it makes the girls who are holla'd at uncomfortable.

Cylindroma transforming into basal cell carcinoma in a patient with Brooke -Spiegler syndrome
ABSTRACT Brooke-Spiegler syndrome is a rare condition with a predisposition to develop cutaneous adnexal neoplasms, especially cylindromas, trichoepitheliomas and spiradenomas. Malignant transformation of cylindromas is rare. In such cases usually cylindrocarcinomas develop within these lesions. We present an unusual case of basal cell carcinoma developing within a preexisting cylindroma.
58-year-old woman with a 30-year history of multiple dermal cylindromas extensively involving her scalp was referred for dermatological treatment. The patient reported that one of the long-lasting lesions, 5.5 cm in size, ulcerated within the foregoing few weeks. Histopathology confirmed cylindromas and basal cell carcinoma within the ulcerating tumor. Surgical excision of largest cylindroma tumors led to cosmetic and functional improvement. Magnetic resonance and computed tomography showed tumor infiltration into the skull lamina externa. Metastases were excluded by chest radiography and abdominal ultrasound examination.
Patients with Brooke-Spiegler syndrome should be followed-up for malignant transformation of skin tumors to prevent deep penetration and possible metastases.

ABSTRACT: Brooke-Spiegler syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder with variable penetrance and expression. It is characterized by a genetic predisposition to develop multiple adnexal neoplasias: cylindromas, trichoepitheliomas, and trichoblastomas. We describe a 54-year-old male patient with cylindromas, trichoepitheliomas, and trichoblastoma.Anais brasileiros de dermatologia 01/2014; 89(1):175-6.

ABSTRACT: Background Brooke-Spiegler syndrome (BSS) is a rare, inherited, autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the development of multiple adnexal neoplasms including spiradenomas, cylindromas, trichoepitheliomas and major and minor salivary glands neoplasms. This syndrome encompasses a wide variability of clinical phenotypes depending on the variable number of tumours present in the given patient.Objective Somatic mutations in adjunct to CYLD germline mutations may play a central role in the development of the tumour phenotype and in the genotype-phenotype correlations.Methods Blood sample and paraffin embedded tissue biopsied from three cylindromas, one trichoepithelioma and one spiradenomas were collected after obtaining informed consent from our patient and genomic DNA was isolated.ResultsWe found out a novel germline mutation in the CYLD gene in exon 15 that resulted in the deletion of one nucleotide. This gives rise to a premature translational termination codon at amino acid position 693 prior to four Cys-X-X-Cys pairs and one of the two catalytic domains of ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolases. In only one cylindroma we detected the same germline mutation (c.2070delT/p.F690FfsX3) in addition to two somatic events (I645V and R936X). The presence of this unique mutation could be linked to the peculiar phenotype of our patient who presented an attenuated form of BSS, an autosomal dominant inheritance with low penetrance and no additional visceral tumours.Conclusions The overall phenotype of our patient may support the hypothesis that somatic mutations in adjunct to CYLD germline mutations may play a central role in the development of the tumour phenotype and in the genotype-phenotype correlations.Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology 07/2014; 29(3).

Nanomaterials is a field that takes a materials science-based approach to nanotechnology. It studies materials with morphological features on the nanoscale, and especially those that have special properties stemming from their nanoscale dimensions. Nanoscale is usually defined as smaller than a one tenth of a micrometer in at least one dimension, though this term is sometimes also used for materials smaller than one micrometer.

I'm looking for something a little heavier than my S&W 642 for STRICTLY pocket carry. What would you recommend? My arthritis has gotten to the point where a few more ounces might make a big difference. I love the 642 but I want to be able to practice exclusively with my carry round and that ship has sailed.
I assume that recoil is the problem when practicing. Boy, you have to be tough to get old someone said. I do not have arthritis, but do have the "infirmities of age."
You might want to try a set of Pachmayr Decelerator grips on your 642 before you give up on it.
Pachmayr Revolver Grips
Those grips in combination with some short barrel/low recoil defensive rounds should help you manage your firearm easier with your arthritis.
Good luck to you Dolphin. My wife suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and I see the pain she endures daily. A .38 would be too much for her wrists anymore. I am trying to save the $$ to get her a S&W617. It's only a .22, but it's better than no gun at all.... I don't know your situation, but I guess you need to think about how bad the disease may get. Because a piece that you can handle today, might be too painful to practice with tomorrow. CW
I have arthritis and I can certainly sympathize with you on your predicament.
Have you considered having your S&W 642 magnaported? That may help a lot with the felt recoil and joint pain.
God bless our troops!
I'd explore grips and ammo choice long before I looked for a replacement gun.
"Just blame Sixto"
Yes, your 642 is a J frame.
"Just blame Sixto"
I'm mostly with Sixto on this one.
However, if you can consider a .380, the difference in recoil and perhaps a larger grip might help. Think perhaps of finding a Colt Mustang--in the used market; or perhaps a Bersa new.
I would think that the lighter trigger pull of a S A gun might make things a lot easier for you. (I don't know if you would have trouble with the slide--can you grip and pull a slide?)
I've stated here before that it is funny how different people perceive recoil. My son is half my age and much stronger, but he can't tolerate shooting a small 38sp. , whereas they give me no difficulty at all. OTOH, he can control my .40, and I have a little difficulty with that one.
I have the Pachmayr Compac grips on my J frames, and they do tame the recoil a lot. It might be worth a try before you go for a new gun. The 642 is light to carry.
"I feel your pain" ...
A couple of years ago, I had the same problem; my right wrist got O.A. and shooting my G-26 was painful ... understatement !!!
I explored different avenues:
- a .380 ... lots of people said bad choice; blowback has sharper recoil.
- changing to my left hand, which is still OK ( I had to do that for a lot of other tasks) but there is always the thought that it might go bad too !
- finally I bought a ported barrel for the G-26; it extends a little over an inch from the slide; not a problem and it gives 60 to 80 fps extra velocity, close to G-27 (.40) performance.
The porting makes the gun a lot easier on my wrist because it was the upward flip that caused the pain, not the push towards the back.
As another member suggested, you could magna-port your barrel.
Speer GD short barrel ammo have less recoil and better performance in barrel shorter than 3"; at least that what they say !!!
Ultimately, you'll have to experiment yourself, we are all different.
Good luck in your quest !!!
The first rule of a gunfight: "Don't be there !"
The second rule: "Bring enough gun"
