The Bedazzling UFO

The Kougaress absolutely adores wearing velvet capes!

Late night October yowls, my splendid and spectacularly spooky Big Cats... the first thing when the Kougaress got up today and was peering out her fave window, she saw a large red robin girl who was feeding on poke berries... another lovely blue-sky day on the tame prairie... but, where, oh, where is the rain?
~~~~~~

The Bedazzling UFO... okay then, my darlings, this is going to sound really out there and downright unbelievable to some... and, yes, the Kougaress will likely be labeled a kook, or worse... maybe even a liar, or simply someone who desperately craves attention and who is obviously off her nut...

However, here goes... about four thirty in the morning this Big Cat, being a night owl, was throwing some popcorn kernels out the back door because there are some critters who always eat them up so you can’t even tell they were there... anyhoo, she looked up at the night sky like she normally does and spotted what she thought was a really bright star or a planet almost straight up... after that she went to let her pups in, which is in a different part of the house. Well, she looked for the star or planet again, and she saw it from that vantage point also, so it must have been fairly high in the heavens... at that point, the object increased in color as if it had become a giant prism in the night sky... being fiercely curious now, the Kougaress went and got her glasses for a clearer look out the back door. The glasses are only used on rare occasions... this Big Cat won’t go into an explanation here as to why... suffice it to say, she donned the glasses and found the bright celestial object which had become a blazing shimmer of red, white and blue lights, and was definitely larger than a star or planet could be... so, of course this Big Cat continued watching... oh, the beautifully colored lights began flashing and sparkling in such a gorgeous way... and the shape of the object became triangular... not only that, the lights, at one point, were only white and outlined the triangular shape... then moments later, the triangle UFO turned on beautiful golden lights like it was putting on a display... well, at one point the Kougaress waved and said, hi... in seconds, the triangle became color-bedazzling and larger in appearance, then blinked out... there was only darkness... well, the UFO blinked back on, but in a slightly different location in the sky... after that it blinked out and returned to the original position... and after a short spectacular bedazzling display of lights, it blinked out for good... nothing but black sky... nope, it wasn’t an object covered up by clouds.

So, oh sure, that was a meteor... hey, how about swamp gas [no swamps here] or a satellite... sure, yeah, a satellite could put on that performance and remain stationary... sure, yeah... and guess what, the Kougaress had a witness who shall remain nameless.

Feeling-wise, this experience, that particular UFO felt magickal, magically bedazzling... and was nothing like the UFO this Big Cat saw shortly after moving to the tame prairie. That UFO was slow moving and at treetop level, and while it was triangular, it wasn’t all that big and was likely a black ops stealth craft because of the rectangular band of lights.

Given UFO sightings are at record levels across the world, and have been for at least a couple of years now... and, that’s all sorts and types of UFOs sighted all over Mother Earth... well, this Big Cat is glad, happy she saw this spectacular beauty. Thank you! to whomever was in control.

Yes, a typical authorly busy day. On a whim, thought, the Kougar spent part of today checking out the costumes at the Pyramid Collection website. She would love to spend the entire month of October going to Fantasy Costume Parties... however, no such possibility... so, she’s taking the vicarious route, and is planning on posting costumes she would like to wear... unless, something major comes along, or gets in the way... who knows with this world...

BTW! A BIG ROAR OF THANKS to everyone who has purchased KANDY APPLE FOR HALLOWEEN. Sparkly witchy good vibes coming your way.

...I'm Screwed
by Serena Shay

“Hello, Ranger, I’m screwed.”

Riker stared at the little bit of a thing in front of him and prayed he could maintain his stalwart expression when all he wanted to do was smile. Though her voice was cultured and she looked to have been pampered most of her life, she had a sense of humor. She’d have to have, to be standing in front of him bare naked, trying to cover the bits and pieces all the while cracking funny with her introduction. He could like this woman…gawd, he hoped she was a woman.

“Well ma’am, you don’t appear to be screwed—yet, but you definitely have some questions to answer.” Like what the hell she was for starters. Was she human or alien? Did alien’s blush? ‘Cause right this moment she was redder than a currant berry and not just in her cheeks.

Your October Forecast is Here!

The leaves may be changing and the weather becoming cooler and crisper, but the stars see no reason to let the start of Autumn dampen your spirits!

October kicks off with the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn residing in equitable Libra. On October 3rd, aggressive Mars and lucky Jupiter will square off, giving you a dose of enthusiasm and overconfidence. This is great for getting your way, but be careful not to get carried away thinking rules don't apply to you!

On October 6th, chatty Mercury will line up with severe Saturn. This may bring a hint of gloominess and a slight negative tone to conversations, but nothing too difficult. Then, on the 7th, charming Venus will meet with fanciful Neptune. Your good intentions could bring romantic fantasies to life, as long as you're not too impractical with your plans. When Venus moves into intense Scorpio on the 9th, you'll experience blissful closeness with your sweetheart. Just beware of unreasonable jealousy!

The full Moon will rise in Aries on the 12th, making you feel high-spirited and impulsive, but this will be tempered by a distinct cautiousness. Meanwhile, Venus will pair up with Pluto on the same day, creating a sexy and seductive mood. October 13th will be another cosmically active day as Saturn tips its hat to the Sun and Mercury moves into Scorpio. Saturn will ensure agreements are satisfied to their most minute details. Mercury in Scorpio will bring a couple weeks of deep, meaningful conversations, peppered with forceful and exuberant opinions.

After a few days of rest, the stars kick into gear again as the Sun shines a soft light on Neptune on the 21st, creating an aura of compassion. On the 23rd, the Sun will move out of wishy-washy Libra and into decisive, resourceful Scorpio. After spending the last month hearing every side of every issue, you'll now be able to act with confidence.

The new Moon, Mars and Saturn will all play a role on the 26th to give you a military discipline, which will help you force through new plans with unrelenting determination. Finally, October will end on a high note, as first Jupiter and then the Sun line up to shake hands with Pluto on the 28th and 29th. You'll experience incredible confidence blended with a sense of empowerment. Anything and everything is possible!

New Crescent Moon Mews, my sweet sexy Pussycats... strong gusting winds on the tame prairie today, and definitely nice and warm... the New Moon was on Tuesday, and likely significant as far as the overall human psyche.

Fixing a Flat
by Pat Cunningham

I’m going to quote Stephen King today, because knowing a successful author at the top of his game still has to deal with writing problems makes me feel better. In an interview Uncle Stevie once described writing as akin to digging artifacts out of the ground: sometimes you get the whole pot or bowl, sometimes it comes out chipped or cracked. Sometimes it comes out completely broken. Sometimes you only get shards.

What Turns Women On?
Wednesday, September 28, 2011

This is something that all single men yearn to know, as they practice the "lines" they'll use when they meet a new woman. But it turns out that it's not so much what you SAY that matters, but your tone of voice when you say it (and there's not much you can do about that).

Women are turned on by low male voices. In the same way that bright plumage attracts female birds, because it denotes a healthy bird, a deep voice may instinctively attract women, because it denotes healthy masculinity (with lots of testosterone).

Not only that, they're more likely to remember what was said to them when it's said in a low voice. In the September 20th edition of the New York Times, Sindya N. Bhanoo quotes psychologist Kevin Allen as saying, "If you want to drop your voice, you should be prepared to be judged by the details that women remember. It could backfire. It's not really a trick that men can play."

Opera has this wrong: In almost all operas, the tenor gets the girl. But backstage, it may be the basso who wins.

Time is NOT Like We Think it Is
Tuesday, September 27, 2011

One of the main dogmas of physics is that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, but at the CERN collider, some subatomic particles seem to have exceeded this speed, breaking all known laws of physics. Neutrinos sent through the ground from CERN toward a laboratory hundreds of miles away seemed to show up a tiny fraction of a second early.

In BBC News, Jason Palmer quotes researcher Antonio Ereditato as saying, "We tried to find all possible explanations for this. We wanted to find a mistake--trivial mistakes, more complicated mistakes, or nasty effects--and we didn't. When you don't find anything, then you say 'Well, now I'm forced to go out and ask the community to scrutinize this.'"

This breakthrough could eventually lead to a future discovery of how to time travel.

Secret of koala bellow revealed
By Victoria Gill Science reporter, BBC Nature

~ bbc.co.uk/nature/15088320

The loud, grumbling bellow that emerges from a male koala sounds very unlike that of a cute, laid-back creature.

Now scientists have discovered the anatomy behind the strange sound that males make during mating season.

Male koalas have very long vocal tracts - structures in their throats that produce the sounds.

Their vocal tract anatomy is so unusually specialised, in fact, that they are able to make sounds that make them sound far larger than they are.

The study, reported in the Journal of Experimental Biology, used medical imaging to reveal that a male koala's voice box, or larynx, sits very low in its throat. This "descended larynx" was thought to be a uniquely human feature - something that allows us to make the sounds we need for speech.

It was only in 2001 that scientists found that red deer also had a descended larynx. Its discovery in koalas now supports the theory that it evolved in even more branches of the evolutionary tree, probably to allow males to distinguish themselves vocally from females.

The researchers studied the koalas at a sanctuary called Lone Pine in Queensland, Australia.

As well as recording their bellows, the team also carried out a medical scan on one male koala, which revealed the marsupial's strange vocal anatomy.

"A permanently descended larynx hasn't been documented in marsupials before," said Ben Charlton from the University of Vienna, Austria, who led the study. "It was believed that only humans had [this, and] that it was an essential adaptation for the creation of vowel sounds."

Dr Charlton explained to BBC Nature that the thing that made koalas "sound big" was not the just the very low pitch of their bellows, but the "quality" of the sound coming from their long vocal tract.

The effect works like a musical instrument; when an animal's "voice box" vibrates to make a sound, this sound echoes inside the tube that is its vocal tract. The dimensions of the tube change the sound.

So a violin and a cello can make a sound that is exactly the same pitch, but the cello sounds very different - richer and larger.

The sound of a koala's call, the researchers found, would "predict" a vocal tract length of 50cm. This is almost the entire body length of a koala. So when they bellow, the animals sound bigger than a bison.

The medical scans also revealed a muscle deep in the koala's chest that the researchers think might pull the voice box even further down into its chest cavity as they bellow, enabling them to exaggerate their size even more.

Dr Charlton explained that koalas had evolved to "sound big", "probably because it's important for intimidating other males."

There is also some evidence that the bellows attract females.

David Reby is a psychologist from the University of Sussex in the UK who specialises in mammal communication. He led the team that, 10 years ago, discovered male red deer had a descended larynx.

Dr Reby explained how this study in koalas added to the wider evolutionary story of vocal communication. Finding out why male koalas evolved to make such deep, grumbling bellows could help us understand why male and female humans have very different voices, he said.

"Men have a 20% longer vocal tract than women," Dr Reby said. "To find out the evolutionary origin of this, we need to better understand how these [differences] evolved in other species.

"That's why Ben's work is really exciting, because he's not only studying other mammals but also marsupials."

The scientists would ultimately like to take live scans of the animals as they bellow - internal snapshots of what happens as they produce sound.

Dr Reby commented: "It would be difficult, but if we could get some good footage, we'd be able to figure out what was really going on."

Well, how dang embarrassing. This Big Cat thought a book’s ISBN # automatically belonged to that book. However, she learned the ISBN is for the title and the publisher. Not that she ever researched this info, but obviously she should have. So, now she’s looking at purchasing ISBNs... oh, whoopee-poopee... However, Red Lioness Tamed is shaping up... but good gosh, this is a taxing process!!!

The Kougar doesn’t have the energy or time to fully join the SPOOKALOOZA party at THE ROMANCE STUDIO, so she simply reserved an ad spot for KANDY APPLE AND HER HELLHOUNDS.

With the Kindle Fire, adversary of the Apple ipad, coming out, looks like there are some major new opportunities for ebook authors.

As some of you Kitten cuties know, this Big Cat doesn’t care for Facebook because of their outrageous spying, sell-your-data policies. Now, you should know... even if it doesn’t matter to you... that FB tracks you wherever you go on the web, even after you’ve logged out, and have supposedly left their site. Of course, the truth is Google does the same thing... the world wide web is the ‘world wide wiretap’, and was set up that way from the beginning.

Calling All Cougars - pt 2
by Rebecca Gillan

“Are you sure you signed up for the cougars and cubs camping trip?” Kevin asked incredulously. He eyed the woman in front of him. She looked to be about mid-forties, tall, slender and in decent shape. She was also wearing pink Prada espadrilles, a pink and black Juicy Couture velour track suit, and was toting a Louis Viton bag—pink and black, of course—that was bigger than she was. Oh, and she was definitely human.

To his horror, she gave him an annoyed look, then dug one of the flyers his mom had printed up out of her purse and handed it to him.

Whoop-ti-friggin-do ... the Kougaress heard this new-to-her phrase spoken a couple of days ago... it was said in a low-key, yet sarcastic manner... at the time, the word and the tone used resonated deeply with her, because it seemed to sum up so much of what is going on in the world right now... in general, that is.

This usage whether impromptu or not, seems to be an updated version of the phrase ‘whoop-ti-do’ with a *well, la-de-da* attitude added to it, along with, of course... a ‘friggin’ I’m-pissed-off thrown in for good measure.

This Big Cat has always been fascinated with the evolution of words and phrases -- or the organic uprising of the language that accompanies social changes and either reflects or helps to invent the future *art reflecting life, life reflecting art, the dragon eating its tail*... that is, how it all plays out in sociological terms. And, it’s just a kewl way of looking at the times, and how incredibly inventive we humans can be.

Is This Man a Wolf
By Savanna Kougar

“Is this man a wolf?” Bregha dramatically placed the centerfold picture of a nearly naked, somewhat hairy man with cockiness written all over his face, beneath Kazni’s gaze.

Gingerly taking hold of what had been called a magazine approximately sixty years ago, Kazni demanded, “Did you take this from the museum?” She frowned at her younger sister, “Without authorization?”

The mutinous set of Bregha’s jaw, and the defiant spark in her eye, answered Kazni’s question. She sighed loudly, exasperation boiling inside her.

“One of these days you’re going to get into serious trouble, Bregha. I know you enjoy your position there. Why jeopardize it?”

“I’ll return it... undamaged. That’s all Jaeve cares about. Besides, he won’t rat me out.” With a careless shrug, Bregha pivoted beside her. “What do you think? A wolf shapeshifter?”

From Yahoo News ~ Thousands run in underwear to protest Utah laws

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Thousands of people stripped to their underwear and ran through Salt Lake City to protest what they called the "uptight" laws of Utah.

Undie Run organizer Nate Porter says the goal of the event Saturday was to organize people frustrated by the conservative nature of the state's politics.

Nudity was prohibited by organizers. Participants donned bras, panties, nightgowns, swimwear or colorful boxer shorts — and some added political messages by expressing support for causes like gay marriage on their chests, backs or legs.

Salt Lake City is the home of the Mormon church, which is a vocal opponent of gay marriage.

Porter estimates 3,000 people participated in the run, which began in downtown Salt Lake City and circled past the state Capitol building about a mile away.

Weekly Angelic Forecast from Volcano

Straight from the Carnal Cherub himself...

Angelic Forecast ~ #160

The theme for this is week is ‘Lifeline and Lightline’. We, the human community, are each others’ lifeline. As well, we are becoming the ‘lightline’ as we help and guide each other through these upcoming times.

For, it is the community that will survive and thrive in the Aquarian Age, and this week that truth will become more obvious to many. There is a caveat, however. Only communities who cherish freedom, who respect each other as individuals, and who encourage an independent and innovative spirit, will remain strong and viable over the long run.

For the following week, make a conscious decision to look around you. Take notice of the changes that have occurred during the past year in your personal life, and in the world at large. This is crucial to understanding what will happen in the near future.

Also, from this point forward, social changes will occur in quantum leaps. Once again, the good face presents itself, and in opposition the evil face appears. Beneficent, Renaissance-like changes sweep across the globe now, all while the global surveillance grid is used for every manner of evil.

Watch for a zigzag pattern of events this week on the world stage. Your personal life is likely to be all over the map, as well. Sit still long enough to evaluate your best move, then move!

As the economy continues to tank, the global Banksters will ‘crow’ about their success while demanding they be given even more power over the almighty dollar, and the other world currencies. However, they are in for some rude surprises beginning toward the end of this week. This is because the AWAKENING has taken another quantum leap forward.

Sadly, at this time, the witch hunts begin anew against those who are highly psychic. This will not be apparent at first, because this Inquisition-like persecution will be kept beneath the public eye.

Trendwise, this week brings an abundance of opportunities to discover what type of work your soul resonates with most. The Soul Rising of humanity goes into high gear at this time. Those of you who are in touch with and expressing your soul self will be in demand to assist others. Do not be shy about accepting proper payment.

From a prior forecast ~ “a powerful magick is arriving, once again, and is available for those bold enough in vision to claim it. There will be individuals who will emerge as magicians, that is, the use of magick as it was practiced by the Wise Women and by those like Merlin. Before the Turning toward technology was allowed, as a method to circumvent the dark force, Magick reigned as the true and natural force on Earth.”

As All Hallows’ Eve 2011 approaches, there will be a dramatic shift toward true magick -- toward everything that is magical and paranormal.

Watch out for high strangeness this week.

Another day, another second grade. Suzanne Coates hefted carriers into her van in the elementary school's parking lot. No one, not even the school custodian, had volunteered to help her. "You make them nervous, babies," she cooed to her charges. "Don't let it bug you. The children think you're awesome."

Her charges weren't bugged in the least. But then, reptiles weren't normally given to huge shows of emotion. School students, college zoology majors, museum curators, it was all the same to them. Give them a rat every couple of days and they thought life was peachy. Suzy had a few nervous nellies back at the rescue center, but she never brought those on public outings. Only the non-biters got to go on field trips.

She'd just placed the last carrier in the van and was about to shut the door when she realized she was being watched.

Sunday into Monday purrs, my crazy-leg dancing KitKats... a few days in, Autumn is lovely on the tame prairie... yet, there is an odd feel to the weather as in nothing feels in sync... but then, these days most everything feels out of sync.

Tech-manic day... Whew! What a long tech-manic and accomplishing day for this Big Cat. Okay, it is really low, outdated tech compared to lots of folks. However, the Kougaress purchased a refurbished computer tower as a backup in case her other one goes on the fritz... well, at first the modem wouldn’t work correctly... than after attempting to install an external modem, which didn’t work, the original internal modem did work... maybe because drivers were installed... but that’s a tech-dummy guess...

Anyhoo and boo! Oh, yes, the Halloween mood is asserting itself already... the Kougaress spent most of the day uploading updates, installing the Firefox browser, messing with Media Player to get it the way this Big Cat likes it, and making adjustments... the screen display didn’t fit the parameters of the monitor... however, after looking for info on the web, which wasn’t exactly the right answer, the Kougaress found the way to resize so there wasn’t an inch dark strip on one side.

Yeah, this is so not exciting to most of you, however, the Kougaress worked really hard to get as far as she did... now, she has to solve the problem of getting WordPerfect somehow, at hopefully the least expensive way she can... so she can actually use it to write on... double argh, triple argh...

Chapter Eleven ~ The Wolf Slipped His Leash

Saturday into Sunday meows, my beautifulest and boldest KitKats... oh, the days slip past so fast, so amazingly past... and the Kougaress’s mind is worn to a frazzle, or she would have come up with a better description... another wonderful Fall day, however, the tame prairie does need some soaking-in rain... so, please, oh Divine.

Lifeline and Lightline... this was said by an obviously highly spiritual woman, who called in on last night’s Coast to Coast am radio show. It felt uplifting to listen to her speak her awareness since she is in touch with the AWAKENING at such a deep level.

With the veil between the worlds basically dissolved at this point in time, and with All Hallow’s Eve about a month and a half away, the energy connection between the worlds will strengthen, so don’t be too surprised if paranormal phenomena increases dramatically.

*Unedited Six Sentence* progress on the latest WIP novella... a bit rough, but...

Chapter Eleven ~ The Wolf Slipped His Leash

White Fang watched her assess him, even as her half-lidded, jewel-green eyes seduced the hell out of him. When her eyes became crystalline, he knew she was about to speak her innermost truth.

“I seek no rescue, as a damsel in distress. I suppose, yes, I seek rescue from my sorrow. Although, revenge will not ease that place in my heart.”

“No, there are places in the heart that will never be eased.”

AND...

Goodness, big-project meows, this Big Cat author spent a good part of the day organizing her computer files for RED LIONESS TAMED, and formatting. She has ideas for the second book in one file, and several other files. Plus, she has several flashes written between her heroine, Sun Rocket, and the hero, Draxen... and an interview with Sun Rocket. It was all sort of organized, but not in the way needed, that is, if the Kougar can ever get the next sequel written... which, she would adore doing because the first book was such a fun story to write.

Male Cougar on the Prowl
by Solara

“What the?” Tamara dropped her binoculars and rummaged in her pocket. “Where did I put that hanky?” Her hand came out empty. Blowing on the lens, she dabbed at them part of her overlarge t-shirt.

Two feet back on the trail, he sat and watched. Each burst of wind blasting over the hilltops and down through the gullies whipped up against her pulling her shirt tight around her. Pert breasts filled out the top as it slowly sank back down to where its hemline lay just beneath her pussy.

Planetary Pile-up!

First you'll seek out fairness, but hit delays; then, you'll have new opportunities, but find them unsettling. Next, you'll speak without thought, but potentially clear the air; soon after that, you'll enjoy new romantic beginnings, or start old relationships afresh; and then, more romance, but no fireworks. At long last, you'll wonder what all this to-and-fro was, and you'll finally push forward. Quite a lot of activity for a mere six-day period!

So what exactly is going on in the stars that's taking your life in seemingly every possible direction?

This flurry of cosmic activity starts on September 25, when Mercury joins the Sun in Libra. Justice will become so important that you'll agonize over every aspect of a situation before reaching a conclusion.

The next day, September 26, Uranus turns things upside down when it opposes the Sun. This transit will bring lots of new opportunities, but nevertheless, certain aspects of your life will get a severe shake-up.

Then on September 27, Mercury feels the power of Uranus' opposition, prompting you to say what's on your mind with no regard for consequence. Be careful: The right words will clear the air ... and the wrong ones will only make things worse.

Fortunately, the new Moon in Libra on September 27 gives you a chance to renew your relationships -- and hopefully prevent bridge-burning. After a day of cosmic rest, Venus practically falls into Saturn's lap on September 29. Though not necessarily passionate, this pair can be great for long-term relationships.

Finally, on September 30, the Sun and Mars converge to offer you the motivation you need to kick yourself into high gear. No more dithering -- it's time to finalize your plans and move forward with conviction!

Is He a Civil War Vampire?

From Mysterious Universe ~ Is Nicolas Cage Really a Vampire?

Sep 21st in Bizarre & Modern Mysteries by Rob Morphy

The owner of the admittedly eerie photograph is an antiques dealer from Bristol, Tennessee, by the name of Jack Mord — which, in and of itself, sounds a bit creepy, like an old Mad Magazine spoof of Jack Lord that would come out around Halloween time. Regardless of his appellation, Mord claimed that he stumbled across the strange picture in back of an old photo album that was allegedly: “filled with an unusual number of Civil War death portraits.”

Oh, Kittens, this Big Cat just can’t shake a sense of dread about some looming catastrophic event... already, here, in our beloved country, and around the globe, there are horrific happenings, and corruption is escalating like an ongoing avalanche... also, unspeakable evil is taking place on a mass scale... on the other paw, there are good, good things happening, and good, good folks -- and, yes, the AWAKENING is avalanching, too.

Sky Net is Here...

Pic from Coast to Coast am ~ Triangle UFO in KC

Evening of May 6, 2011. I was with some friends in the Cross Roads District of Kansas City, Seeing the contrails in the sky I commented, look "we're in the cross roads and there's cross roads above us!" The funny thing is we all looked up and never saw or even heard anything at all, no UFO or any other lights in the sky out of the ordinary... when we got home later that night I downloaded the pics I took on my iPhone and this is what I found...

Could it be that all the light emitted was InfraRed therefore we could not see them however they would show up on the the VGA cameras our phones have, I always use the camera on my phone to check my TV remotes to see if they're lighting up.... if they are infra red, that would explain that when it is dark out and people see the UFOs they give off a dim orange glow, hell if so they'd have a huge area on the ground well illuminated with IR when we can just barely see them...

Elevenish meows, my Autumn-dancing Pussycats... yes, the first day of Fall is here... yowsa, oh mowsa, where has the time flown to? ... superb and lovely weather for getting stuff done, outside, so that’s what this Big Cat did... of course, there’s always so much more to do. ~sighs~
~~~

Sky Net is Here... for the last several days, this Big Cat has been thinking, off and on, about the movie, Terminator... about Sara Connor, the TV series... and about ***Sky Net***. It simply came to mind, and was not triggered by seeing any reminder about ‘Terminator’. Although, the way Big Brother/Big Sis is taking over via all manner of electronic surveillance and jumbotron screens... well, the idea of Sky Net is always lurking in the back of the Kougaress’s mind. So, today, she heard a killer report based on public documents, that SKY NET IS HERE. In fact, AI, artificial intelligence, exists far beyond what has been revealed by lamestream media, and is being used to monitor everything, absolutely EVERYTHING on the world wide web. Every bit and byte of data about you is being ‘filed’, your biometrics included -- that is, everything about your physical appearance, not just your eyes and facial structure... of course, all your medical info is included... your blood, your genetics... everything they can get their greedy bot hands on. Satellites have been and are being used to track, and also kill, targeted individuals. This has been going on for, at least, the last ten years.

Because of OnStar’s recent changes that will allow them to ‘sell’ data about you to about anyone who wants it... yeah, real time data about where you are, where you’re going, who you’re with, info about your car... anything and everything... these public documents about SKY NET have come to light. Did you know there are AI killer robots, some with skeleton faces? Yeah, just one of the DODs little surprises for all of us should we get too uppity for the establishment. Yowls of fear, for all this Big Cat knows they’ve got robots impersonating zombies... oh, btw, there are miniatures tanks loaded for bear and tiny drone aircraft able to target and kill any individual... gee, good thing Hitler is dead, huh?

Action-packed Transits!

With the Sun moving from dutiful Virgo to social Libra -- accompanied by a spicy, unrestrained Mars-Uranus alignment -- September 23 is shaping up to be marvelously fun-filled!

The Sun in Virgo was all about getting work done. But on September 23, as the Sun moves into elegant Libra, you'll find yourself ready to step away from the grindstone and indulge in some refined fun. This is a time for cocktail parties, dinner with your sweetheart at an upscale restaurant, or a good bottle of wine -- and plenty of friends.

Libra likes to keep things fair and will always try to fall on the side of justice. This may involve you playing the role of devil's advocate, or perhaps it may just take you a little longer to reach decisions, since you'll want to ensure every perspective has been considered. There may be delays, but the results are likely to please everyone!

Also on September 23, battle-ready Mars in flamboyant Leo tips its hat to inventive Uranus in fiery Aries. This will ignite a rush of activity, and you'll suddenly want nothing more than to speak and act with absolute freedom. You'll practically overflow with new ideas, and you won't want to waste time compromising -- after all, watered-down enterprises are never as fun, interesting or successful! You may hit a few roadblocks, but be sure to stick to your guns, follow through with your ideas and discover just how far you can go.

MANGAN, India (AP) — Rescuers on Thursday finally reached some of the villages in India's remote northeast that were cut off by a powerful earthquake in the Himalayan region last weekend, as the death toll in the disaster climbed past 100.

Rescue efforts following Sunday's magnitude-6.9 quake, which also struck parts of Tibet and Nepal, were slow-going because heavy rains kept helicopters grounded and mudslides triggered by the disaster blocked roads leading into remote, mountainous terrain.

Planet X, Consciousness, & Comet Elenin

Date: 09-20-11
Host: George Noory
Guests: Doug Elwell, Deborah Pratt, Richard C. Hoagland

During the middle two hours, publisher of Mysterious World books, Doug Elwell, discussed his research on ancient references to Planet X which connects the work of Zecharia Sitchin to Biblical writings. He noted that astronomers have actually been looking for Planet X for "over 100 years" and clarified that the use of 'X' is merely to denote that the object remains, so far, unknown. "It's not some cheesy science fiction thing," he declared, "it's a legitimate scientific endeavor." Elwell described his interpretation of Planet X as a combination of mainstream science theories on the object along with the voluminous work of Zecharia Sitchen. According to Elwell's research, Planet X circles through our solar system about every 2,000 years and crosses through the asteroid belt.

Elwell observed that numerous ancient texts appear to allude to Planet X and asserted that the object is actually the "core concept behind the Bible." He noted that, in the Bible, Jesus said that, much like his birth, his return would be preceded by the arrival of a bright star, which Elwell interprets, in both cases, to be Planet X. Additionally, he said that if we "take mythology at face value," various ancient cultures wrote about their highest deities facing off in battle against a "dragon" of some kind. All of these references, Elwell theorized, suggest a "cosmic war" between God and the fallen angels, who come to Earth every time Planet X arrives in the hopes of raising an army to "attack heaven, itself."

Quantum Leap & Consciousness

In the first hour, writer/producer Deborah Pratt discussed her work on the TV series Quantum Leap as well as consciousness. She attributed the massive popularity of the program to the strong chemistry between the main characters as well as the concept that past mistakes could be fixed which "gave people hope." On consciousness, she opined that "we are in a shift" and stressed that mankind needs to harness the power of their "collective mass" to shape the future into a positive place. Pratt has set up a special website where Coast listeners can get a free e-download of the first book in her Vision Quest trilogy.

Comet Elenin

Final hour guest Richard C. Hoagland shared his thoughts on Comet Elenin, Friday's impending satellite re-entry, and 2012. He decried the hysteria surrounding Elenin, declaring that he'd "never seen any object so hyped and so lied about than this little nothing, wimpy thing." Hoagland also voiced suspicions over the origins of the comet's discovery, noting that Leonid Elenin, the man who discovered it, has seemingly rebuffed nearly all press surrounding the object. He encouraged listeners to avoid what he sees as "fear conditioning" by the media surrounding Elenin and surmised that something about the approaching comet threatens the world elite. As such, Hoagland mused that "someone in power is deathly afraid of it, so it must be a good thing."

Such Silliness... Nobody Wants Redheads...

Late night meowsa-powsa, my heroic and happening KitKats... loveliness continues on the tame prairie as autumn takes over.. omy and sigh, and life does go on, waiting for none of us... with all that’s currently going on in our world, this Big Cat finds this rather amazing, and also confusing, given humanity as a whole, is under constant attack now, on so many different fronts... obviously, we humans are far more resilient than we often realize... yet, we are also fragile, especially when it comes to our emotions and feelings... in the Kougaress’s experience communicating well with each other is often the key to respecting each others emotions and feelings.

This Big Cat loves ya! Take care, my darlings.
~~~~~~

Such Silliness... Nobody Wants Redheads...

BIG CAT COMMENTARY ~

The Kougaress, when doing research on redheads a long while back, came across this prejudice that is briefly addressed in the article below. If life had worked out differently, this Big Cat would have loved to have had redhead children for a couple of reasons. One, she absolutely loves every shade of red hair, as she’s talked about before. And, two, because she’s a redhead. In fact, the Kougaress has WIPs devoted to finding a red-headed mate, and continuing that hair color via genetics. Certainly, there is no dearth of redhead heroines in romance novels these days. They’re in nearly every subgenre. Although, this Big Cat has no idea if redheads are well represented in the m/m subgenre. Since most often the romance novel hero is not depicted with flaming red hair [too bad]. And, meow-yes, the Kougaress adores adding red highlights or a reddish color like bronze to her heroes’ hair... just because she finds it ultra sexy attractive, and so do her heroines, of course.

Really, how sad that anyone worries about the color of another individual’s hair, in terms of relating to anyone on a one-on-one basis. How absolutely silly. What happened to acting in a grown-up, non-prejudicious manner? Because obviously here’s where the content of someone’s character is far, far more important.

Now, of course, when it comes to the matter of sexual attraction. Yeah, we all have our preferences. That’s only natural and good. Certainly, it’s easy to make a distinction between choosing to be with someone you find attractive as opposed to shunning someone simply because you don’t care for the color of their hair. Yeah, it’s such silliness...

Enough said for now...

Nobody Wants Ginger Children

By Rebecca Greenfield | The Atlantic Wire – Fri, Sep 16, 2011

We always thought having red hair was fashionable, at least that's what Interview Magazine told us, but it turns out nobody wants ginger babies anymore, reports The Telegraph. The world's largest sperm bank has started turning down donors because of a lack of demand. "There are too many redheads in relation to demand," Ole Schou the sperm bank director told Danish newspaper Ekstrabladet, continues The Telegraph. "I do not think you chose a redhead, unless the partner--for example, the sterile male--has red hair, or because the lone woman has a preference for redheads. And that's perhaps not so many, especially in the latter case."

We wonder why anyone wouldn't want a baby with beautiful strawberry locks. Perhaps it has something to do with the teasing red-headed children sometimes face? Or maybe it has to do with this New York Times piece that claims red heads are more sensitive to physical pain? In that case, we guess we understand that you wouldn't want your decision at the sperm bank to produce a child who might grow up as unhappy as this red-headed woman... [pic at flikr].

The Crazy Cougar and the Mad Bear
by Savanna Kougar

Half bombed out of her mind, Sirakusa squeezed the glass between her hands. Blocking out the good-times voices of those around her in Yosemite’s late night bar and lodge, she stared into the depths of her alcoholic beverage. Made with vodka and coffee liqueur, the drink known as a Black Russian, reflected her mood.

“Men are just dogs, doncha know,” she snarly greeted the son of a bitch -- likely a shapeshifter predator of some kind like her ex-fiancé -- and like herself.

Since her third drink -- this was her fourth after eating dinner several hours ago -- he’d been stalking her with his gaze from his solitary position at the bar. Now he towered above her. His burly frame had to be well over six feet, the complete opposite of the young stud who had professed to love her... then left her the minute his pack leader showed teeth.
