Cabrera http://newsone.com/author/ccabrera/ July 14, 2010 7:18 pm [image: Mythical Chupacabra] The mythical, mysterious beast called the “Chupacabra” may just be real after all. The “Chupacabra,” which is a goat-sucker in English, is apparently on the prowl and ripping animals limb from limb in Texas. The animal, a cross between dog and wolf, is said to target anything in its sight. Click here to view videohttp://www.woai.com/news/local/story/Chupacabras-Mysterious-creatures-killed-in-Texas/YMYc1PyfZ0imSLKAP7IX4w.cspx Growing up in New York City, where there’s a substantial Puerto Rican population, tales of the Chupacabra were often told. I didn’t know whether to believe the tales or not. I never thought a Chupacabra would be spotted in these parts. I always thought it was an animal you’d find in the Caribbean or somewhere down south. According to recent reports, I wasn’t too far off. Just a few days ago, two Chupacabras were found and killed by a Texas Animal Officer near San Antonio. The rancher who reported the sighting told WOAI that it was the “worst looking animal he’s ever seen.” Chupacabra sightings aren’t anything new. There have been sightings in South Florida in the late 90’s and in Northern Texas a few years ago. While many dispel the myth of these animal exisisting, similar looking ones seem to pop up every now and then. I guess we’ll have to wait for the tests to come out which will determine what this “beast” really is.

On Wed, Jul 14, 2010 at 10:09 PM, Mr. Worf hellomahog...@gmail.comwrote: Another 10 Conspiracy Theories Share This- Published February 18, 2008 - 241 Commentshttp://listverse.com/2008/02/18/another-10-conspiracy-theories/#idc-container Following on from our popular Top 10 Conspiracy Theories listhttp://listverse.com/miscellaneous/top-10-conspiracy-theories/, we are now presenting you with another 10. While the theories on this list may not be as well known as the first list, I think many of them are a lot more interesting. So, without further ado, another 10 conspiracy theories. 10. Paul is Dead [image: Paulisdead] “Paul is dead” is an urban legend alleging that Paul McCartney of the British rock band The Beatles died in 1966 and was replaced by a look-alike and sound-alike. Evidence for McCartney’s death consists of “clues” found among the Beatles’ many recordings, most of which are treated as if they were deliberately placed by The Beatles or others. Literally hundreds have been cited at various times by various people. They include statements allegedly heard when a song is played backwards, symbolism found in obscure lyrics, and ambiguous imagery on album covers. A few of them are well known, such as the fact that McCartney is the only barefooted Beatle and is out of step with the others on the cover of Abbey Road. 9. Pan Am Flight 103 [image: Panam103] Pan Am Flight 103 was Pan American World Airways’ third daily scheduled transatlantic flight from London’s Heathrow International Airport to New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. On Wednesday December 21, 1988, the aircraft flying this route—a Boeing 747-121 named Clipper Maid of the Seas—was destroyed by a bomb. The remains landed in and around the town of Lockerbie in southern Scotland. A theory for which no evidence has been produced suggests that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had set up a protected drug route from Europe to the United States—allegedly called Operation Corea—which allowed Syrian drug dealers, led by Monzer al-Kassar (who was involved with Oliver North in the Iran-Contra scandal) to ship heroin to the U.S. using Pan Am flights, in exchange for intelligence on Palestinian groups based in Syria. The CIA allegedly protected the suitcases containing the drugs and made sure they were not searched. On the day of the bombing, as the theory goes, terrorists exchanged suitcases: one with drugs for one with a bomb. Another version of this theory is that the CIA knew in advance this exchange would take place, but let it happen anyway, because the protected drugs route was a rogue operation, and the American intelligence officers on PA 103 – Matthew Gannon and Maj. Charles McKee – had found out about it, and were on their way to Washington to tell their superiors. 8. Peak Oil is a Lie [image: Peakoil] There are theories that the “Peak Oil” concept is a fraud concocted by the oil industrieshttp://listverse.com/2008/02/18/another-10-conspiracy-theories/#to increase prices amid concerns about future supplies. The oil industry supposedly is aware of vast reserves of untapped oil, but does not utilize them, so that they can maintain the illusion of artificial scarcity. Parallels are drawn between this and the diamond industry, where it is recognized that a monopoly cabal maintain an illusion of artificial scarcity of diamonds, in order to increase their value. 7. AIDS is Manmade [image: Aids] There are claims that AIDS is a man-made disease (i.e. created by scientists in a laboratory). Some of these theories allege that HIV was created by a conspiratorial group or by a secretive agency such as the CIA. It is thought to have been created as a tool of genocide and/or population control. Other theories suggest that the virus was created as an experiment in biological and/or psychologicalhttp://listverse.com/2008/02/18/another-10-conspiracy-theories/#

On Wed, Jul 14, 2010 at 10:09 PM, Mr. Worf hellomahog...@gmail.comwrote: Another 10 Conspiracy Theories Share This- Published February 18, 2008 - 241 Commentshttp://listverse.com/2008/02/18/another-10-conspiracy-theories/#idc-container Following on from our popular Top 10 Conspiracy Theories listhttp://listverse.com/miscellaneous/top-10-conspiracy-theories/, we are now presenting you with another 10. While the theories on this list may not be as well known as the first list, I think many of them are a lot more interesting. So, without further ado, another 10 conspiracy theories. 10. Paul is Dead [image: Paulisdead] “Paul is dead” is an urban legend alleging that Paul McCartney of the British rock band The Beatles died in 1966 and was replaced by a look-alike and sound-alike. Evidence for McCartney’s death consists of “clues” found among the Beatles’ many recordings, most of which are treated as if they were deliberately placed by The Beatles or others. Literally hundreds have been cited at various times by various people. They include statements allegedly heard when a song is played backwards, symbolism found in obscure lyrics, and ambiguous imagery on album covers. A few of them are well known, such as the fact that McCartney is the only barefooted Beatle and is out of step with the others on the cover of Abbey Road. 9. Pan Am Flight 103 [image: Panam103] Pan Am Flight 103 was Pan American World Airways’ third daily scheduled transatlantic flight from London’s Heathrow International Airport to New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. On Wednesday December 21, 1988, the aircraft flying this route—a Boeing 747-121 named Clipper Maid of the Seas—was destroyed by a bomb. The remains landed in and around the town of Lockerbie in southern Scotland. A theory for which no evidence has been produced suggests that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had set up a protected drug route from Europe to the United States—allegedly called Operation Corea—which allowed Syrian drug dealers, led by Monzer al-Kassar (who was involved with Oliver North in the Iran-Contra scandal) to ship heroin to the U.S. using Pan Am flights, in exchange for intelligence on Palestinian groups based in Syria. The CIA allegedly protected the suitcases containing the drugs and made sure they were not searched. On the day of the bombing, as the theory goes, terrorists exchanged suitcases: one with drugs for one with a bomb. Another version of this theory is that the CIA knew in advance this exchange would take place, but let it happen anyway, because the protected drugs route was a rogue operation, and the American intelligence officers on PA 103 – Matthew Gannon and Maj. Charles McKee – had found out about it, and were on their way to Washington to tell their superiors. 8. Peak Oil is a Lie [image: Peakoil] There are theories that the “Peak Oil” concept is a fraud concocted by the oil industrieshttp://listverse.com/2008/02/18/another-10-conspiracy-theories/#to increase prices amid concerns about future supplies. The oil industry supposedly is aware of vast reserves of untapped oil, but does not utilize them, so that they can maintain the illusion of artificial scarcity. Parallels are drawn between this and the diamond industry, where it is recognized that a monopoly cabal maintain an illusion of artificial scarcity of diamonds, in order to increase their value. 7. AIDS is Manmade [image: Aids] There are claims that AIDS is a man-made disease (i.e. created by scientists in a laboratory). Some of these theories allege that HIV was created by a conspiratorial group or by a secretive agency such as the CIA. It is thought to have been created as a tool of genocide and/or population control.

To this genius, Brent, I ask this. Why, in the entirety of human history, hasn't there been a bad hair day, when gravity kicks out and sends thousands soaring off into space? Maybe, MAYBE, in a hundred years or so, something may walk in the door to support this hare-brained chicanery. I haven't been involved in the physics community for close to fifteen years, and it's stuff like this that makes me happy that I estranged myself.

While the theories on this list may not be as well known as the first list, I think many of them are a lot more interesting. So, without further ado, another 10 conspiracy theories. 10. Paul is Dead [image: Paulisdead] “Paul is dead” is an urban legend alleging that Paul McCartney of the British rock band The Beatles died in 1966 and was replaced by a look-alike and sound-alike. Evidence for McCartney’s death consists of “clues” found among the Beatles’ many recordings, most of which are treated as if they were deliberately placed by The Beatles or others. Literally hundreds have been cited at various times by various people. They include statements allegedly heard when a song is played backwards, symbolism found in obscure lyrics, and ambiguous imagery on album covers. A few of them are well known, such as the fact that McCartney is the only barefooted Beatle and is out of step with the others on the cover of Abbey Road. 9. Pan Am Flight 103 [image: Panam103] Pan Am Flight 103 was Pan American World Airways’ third daily scheduled transatlantic flight from London’s Heathrow International Airport to New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. On Wednesday December 21, 1988, the aircraft flying this route—a Boeing 747-121 named Clipper Maid of the Seas—was destroyed by a bomb. The remains landed in and around the town of Lockerbie in southern Scotland. A theory for which no evidence has been produced suggests that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had set up a protected drug route from Europe to the United States—allegedly called Operation Corea—which allowed Syrian drug dealers, led by Monzer al-Kassar (who was involved with Oliver North in the Iran-Contra scandal) to ship heroin to the U.S. using Pan Am flights, in exchange for intelligence on Palestinian groups based in Syria. The CIA allegedly protected the suitcases containing the drugs and made sure they were not searched. On the day of the bombing, as the theory goes, terrorists exchanged suitcases: one with drugs for one with a bomb. Another version of this theory is that the CIA knew in advance this exchange would take place, but let it happen anyway, because the protected drugs route was a rogue operation, and the American intelligence officers on PA 103 – Matthew Gannon and Maj. Charles McKee – had found out about it, and were on their way to Washington to tell their superiors. 8. Peak Oil is a Lie [image: Peakoil] There are theories that the “Peak Oil” concept is a fraud concocted by the oil industrieshttp://listverse.com/2008/02/18/another-10-conspiracy-theories/#to increase prices amid concerns about future supplies. The oil industry supposedly is aware of vast reserves of untapped oil, but does not utilize them, so that they can maintain the illusion of artificial scarcity. Parallels are drawn between this and the diamond industry, where it is recognized that a monopoly cabal maintain an illusion of artificial scarcity of diamonds, in order to increase their value. 7. AIDS is Manmade [image: Aids] There are claims that AIDS is a man-made disease (i.e. created by scientists in a

Firestone soon saw the huge potential for marketing http://listverse.com/2008/10/19/top-10-american-icons-that-are-not-american/# tires for automobiles. The company was a pioneer in the mass production of tires. Firestone used this relationship to become the original equipment supplier of Ford Motor Company automobiles, and was also active in the replacement market. Firestone was bought out in 1988 by Bridgestone, a Japanese rubber conglomerate based in Tokyo and founded in 1931. Bridgestone is currently ranked first in the global tire market, with Michelin second, Goodyear third and Continental fourth. 9 Dial Soap Germany [image: Dial-Antimicrobial-Soap] The Dial Corporation http://listverse.com/2008/10/19/top-10-american-icons-that-are-not-american/# is a maker of personal care and household cleaning products http://listverse.com/2008/10/19/top-10-american-icons-that-are-not-american/# based in Scottsdale, Arizona.

In 2004, the company was bought by Henkel KGaA, a German consumer products firm. Other brands owned by Henkel are Schwarzkopf, Sellotape, and Persil, the company’s most famous brand (and the name of the world’s first laundry detergent). 8 Shell Netherlands [image: Shell-Oil-Barrel] http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/shell-oil-barrel.jpg Shell Oil Company is the United States-based affiliate of Royal Dutch Shell, a multinational oil company (“oil major†) of Anglo Dutch origins, which is amongst the largest oil companies in the world.

For my iPod, for example, I stay upset that it doesn't have a built in antenna for radio reception. The device must have headphones, which function as the antenna. The problem is, that makes it very sensitive to positioning, so that I sometimes find myself fiddling with the position of the headphone cord to strengthen signals for weaker stations. Reminds me of the days when we had to keep adjusting the rabbit ears for the old TVs. Why Apple couldn't have lined the inside of the iPod with a flat antenna, and then let the headphones *add* their strength to that, is beyond me. I know there's room inside for that. I guess it's cost control, but in this one aspect, it was poor design.

Re: [scifinoir2] VIDEO: Mysterious Beast “Chupacab ras” Found In Texas
When I first heard the legends, I didn't know what to think. But when I see the pictures, they all look like some damaged versions of regular animals.

[scifinoir2] Why President Obama loses by winning
Thursday's passage of financial reform, just a couple months after the passage of a comprehensive health care overhaul, should decisively end the narrative that President Barack Obama represents a Jimmy Carter-style case of naive hope crushed by the inability to master Washington. Yet the mystery remains: Having moved swiftly toward achieving the very policy objectives he promised voters as a candidate, Obama is still widely perceived as flirting with a failed presidency.

[scifinoir2] Re: Why President Obama loses by winning
This is the real reason President Obama can't win for losing: In what would surprise media critics outside Washington, many reporters don't much like Obama or his gang, either. They accurately perceive the contempt with which they are held by his White House, an attitude that undoubtedly flows from the top. The press has no business insinuating itself into the political discourse. They hated both Jimmy Carter and Al Gore and America payed the price with Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. I shudder to think what Republican gargoyle is on the horizon and will be enabled by our thin-skinned press. ~(no)rave!

I believe that there are a bunch of species on this continent that has yet to be discovered, but I think that the picture of the head that the lady is holding makes it look fake. It could be something like a South American Dingo. The dog that was shot in the video looks like a mutt with mange. They probably became nocturnal because the sun burnt their skin.

[scifinoir2] Re: Eureka and Haven on SyFy Tonight
[Mild Spoilers] I really enjoyed the Eureka premiere. The move back to the founding days of Eureka was cool. Nice to see the doctor (Baltar from BSG) who was the driving force of the early days. And I love a show where there are consequences that last for a time. Ought to be fun to see how the timeline's been changed. The obvious affection between Carter and Allison was nice, but I'd really prefer they put him with Tess. I hope that actress is brought back as his real love interest once the timeline is fixed. And Henry's been stag for too damn long after they unfortunately killed off his true love. Let that Sister stay for him too! - Original Message - From: Keith Johnson keithbjohn...@comcast.net To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, July 9, 2010 7:39:31 PM Subject: Eureka and Haven on SyFy Tonight I've loved the commercials for Eureka, such as the one showing the nerdy dude as a Terminator, standing in the buff trying to look menacing, or the ones that show Carter and companies in a 40s era noir setting. Not sure about haven yet. Looks okay, but not sure what makes it so much better than shows they've canceled early, like The Dresden Files. ** http://www.syfy.com/haven/about.php Syfy's all-new one-hour drama series Haven , starring Emily Rose ( Jericho , Brothers and Sisters ) is based on the novella The Colorado Kid from renowned author Stephen King. The series follows the shrewd and confident FBI agent Audrey Parker (Rose) who has a lost past, and arrives in the small town of Haven, Maine on a routine case. Before long, her natural curiosity lands her in the epicenter of activity in this curious enclave, which turns out to be a longtime refuge for people that are affected by a range of supernatural afflictions. As the townspeople's dormant abilities begin to express themselves, Audrey helps keep these forces at bay while discovering the many secrets of Haven — including one surrounding her own surprising connections to this extraordinary place. The impressive creative team behind Haven includes showrunner Scott Shepherd ( Tru Calling , The Dead Zone ) who is joined by E1 Entertainment's John Morayniss ( Hung , Copper ) Noreen Halpern ( Hung , Copper ), Laszlo Barna ( The Bridge ) and Michael Rosenberg ( Hung , The Riches ) as well as his partners, Executive Producers Lloyd Segan and Shawn Piller ( The Dead Zone , Wildfire , Greek ). The pilot was written by Sam Ernst ( The Dead Zone ) and Jim Dunn ( The Dead Zone ) who will also serve as executive producers on the series.

Re: [scifinoir2] Warehouse 13 New Season Starts Tonight
Same here, Martin. The flashback that started with McPherson using the Phoenix artifact made sense in his desperation at that moment. But they didn't do a good job of going from that moment to the murderous man he became. It was almost like one of the bad comic books where the genesis of a super villains isn't sufficient for the evil person he or she becomes. I also thought McPherson's "death" (you never know with this show) was a bit too abbreviated. "Sorry Arthur", and then he's dead.One question I had. When Artie was about to be immolated, he used the Phoenix artifact to protect himself. That resulted in Mrs. Frederic's bodyguard dying. What confused me was, Artie never seemed to really deal with the fact that his using the device killed an innocent man. I also couldn't tell if he intentionally used it. They said McPherson put it in is pocket and set him up on purpose, evidently in order to start Artie down the path of cynicism and evil he was following. But, did Artie knowingly use it, or was it a reflex? If the former, we got little in the way of regret about what he did.- Original Message -From: "Martin Baxter" martinbaxt...@gmail.comTo: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.comSent: Wednesday, July 7, 2010 6:23:58 AMSubject: Re: [scifinoir2] "Warehouse 13" New Season Starts Tonight Keith, right off the bat, LOVED the season premiere of "Warehouse 13".

Re: [scifinoir2] Article: How FX Studios Turn 2D Movies to 3D Moneymakers
The point that they have to insert CGI/digital footage, making the film less real is one thing that troubles me. As much as I love tech and scifi and stuff, I'm old-fashioned enough to like real stuff as much as possible in movies. - Original Message - From: Mr. Worf hellomahog...@gmail.com To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2010 11:36:05 PM Subject: [scifinoir2] Article: How FX Studios Turn 2D Movies to 3D Moneymakers It was once believed that 3D filmmaking was something of a dark art, composed entirely of witchcraft and a lock of James Cameron's hair. These days, however, we know better — there's a complicated lunar cycle involved too. And a little something called dimensionalization . In an interview with Studio Daily, visual effects studio In-Three discussed the powerful technology responsible for bringing 2D films into the third dimension -- and its more complicated than you might think. Features like Avatar are filmed with stereoscopic 3D equipment, but not every production is so fortunate; many films are recorded in 2D only to be converted to 3D in post-production. With dimensionalization, In-three takes this flat footage, and breaks down each scene into its core components. This includes the foreground, background and key objects or actors. With the company's in-house software, artists arrange the pieces, tweak for depth, and ultimately create the 3D effect viewed in theaters. As a result, In-Three's Matthew DeJohn explains that the process turns a conventional piece of film into an entirely digital work. Where holes are present, footage is augmented or filled with CGI, the goal being to fool the brain into thinking it’s real 3D. While this can present certain challenges compared to film shot in stereoscopic, it does have its advantages. Because dimensionalization is a post process, you get more artistic control compared to shooting [in stereo], says DeJohn. We can go in and make specific choices and use the available depth budget to its best advantage. The process is time consuming, however, and involves between 300 and 400 artists for an 120-minute feature -- at close to $100,000 per minute. But now that films like Alice in Wonderland have pushed the process to the mainstream, it might not be long before some of our old favorites are given the 3D treatment too. -- Celebrating 10 years of bringing diversity to perversity!

Re: [scifinoir2] It's official: 'Thor' and 'Captain America' will be 3-D films
There aren't any true 3d cameras available yet. Only dual HD cameras (side by side) or the ones with the lens configuration. No one has released a single or double lens single unit camera yet. They basically overlay two streams of video to get the 3d effect but true 3d doesn't exist yet. Also, shooting the film will create new problems such as lighting issues, picture clarity, blur problems etc. Then editing would also be a nightmare as well because the software to do it doesn't exist yet either.

There were some people talking about making greenscreen only films. The thing that stopped it was the cost of doing it. Its easy for a computer to create 3d scenes but it is difficult to make it look realistic. I think that they will find a happy medium somewhere. In the video game industry there are some games that have incredible detail in 3d but they have hundreds of people to work on stuff like that. Hollywood will need to create a software division that is similar to the art houses that Disney had to do 3d work instead of outsourcing it. ILM does great work but they can't possibly do every movie that comes along especially if the entire industry is expected to do everything in 3d. The good thing is that it is creating jobs for new artists.

These days, however, we know better — there's a complicated lunar cycle involved too. And a little something called dimensionalizationhttp://www.dcinematoday.com/dc/PR.aspx?newsID=204. In an interviewhttp://www.studiodaily.com/main/news/headlines/In-Three-on-the-Workflow-Behind-3D-Conversions_12083.htmlwith Studio Daily, visual effects studio In-Three http://www.in-three.com/ discussed the powerful technology responsible for bringing 2D films into the third dimension -- and its more complicated than you might think. Features like Avatar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar_%282009_film%29are filmed with stereoscopic 3D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopic_3d equipment, but not every production is so fortunate; many films are recorded in 2D only to be converted to 3D in post-production. With dimensionalization, In-three takes this flat footage, and breaks down each scene into its core components. This includes the foreground, background and key objects or actors. With the company's in-house software, artists arrange the pieces, tweak for depth, and ultimately create the 3D effect viewed in theaters. As a result, In-Three's Matthew DeJohn explains that the process turns a conventional piece of film into an entirely digital work. Where holes are present, footage is augmented or filled with CGI, the goal being to fool the brain into thinking it’s real 3D. While this can present certain challenges compared to film shot in stereoscopic, it does have its advantages. Because dimensionalization is a post process, you get more artistic control compared to shooting [in stereo], says DeJohn. We can go in and make specific choices and use the available depth budget to its best advantage. The process is time consuming, however, and involves between 300 and 400 artists for an 120-minute feature -- at close to $100,000 per minute. But now that films like * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_in_Wonderland_%282010_film%29** Alice in Wonderland* have pushed the process to the mainstream, it might not be long before some of our old favoriteshttp://www.guardian.co.uk/film/filmblog/2010/jan/28/star-wars-george-lucas-avatarare given the 3D treatment too. -- Celebrating 10 years of bringing diversity to perversity!

I need to be the lady who says the nipples in the Batman suit did not get me to the theater. But I also didn't think it was a subtle touch. It was the first thing I noticed when I saw the suit.

You must remember that the earth's rotation is forcing us down to the ground.

What's the problem here? GL never wore a costume per se.I thought the ring manipulated matter, just converted what he was wearing into the GL uniform. He never jumped in a phone booth , stripped and then flew off to Oa in another galaxy. To escape camp status the space scenes must have its CGI on point.
