After yesterday afternoon's disturbing news, I posted on Forbes about the horrific developments in this case:The last time anyone saw Susan Powell was at dinner on the evening of December 6, 2009, in her home inSalt Lake City, Utah. Soon after her disappearance, her husband, Josh, took their young children and moved to Graham, Washington, to the home of his father, Steven Powell.Josh was already a suspect in the disappearance of his wife, and he had a lawyer, so why was he allowed to leave the state? And why was his demonstration of a total lack of concern for his missing spouse not sufficient reason to remove the children from his care?But still, more than a year and a half later, Josh maintained control of the children. In August 2011, Susan’s boys were living with their father and grandfather, even though there was an ongoing murder investigation and Josh was the only suspect.Read more...

Four Years after Caylee Anthony's Murder
To contact us Click HERE
Over the weekend, we slid past the fourth anniversary of the death of Caylee Marie Anthony. It remains difficult for me to think about her and incomprehensible to me that she did not receive the justice she so richly deserved.
When my book, Mommy's Little Girl, was published in November 2009, I would have laughed at anyone who told me that Casey Anthony would be acquitted in her upcoming trial. I'd read the interviews conducted by law enforcement. I'd seen the forensic reports. I read the autopsy report. And beyond all that, I'd learned that the only consistency in Casey's life was her habit of lying about everything and everyone--including herself.
The circus atmosphere fostered in this case since the very beginning, continues to frolic across the air waves. Reports about Casey reading The Hunger Games, a trilogy centered around fight-to-the-death games involving children; her claim that Caylee was conceived through an act of date rape; and her denials of any involvement in the death of her daughter made to Piers Morgan.
A Lifetime movie was announced starring Rob Lowe as prosecutor Jeff Ashton and Canadian actress Holly Deveaux as Casey Anthony. Then after much fanfare, Deveaux dropped out with no reason given. Maybe she had second thoughts about her career being launched by a portrayal of the "most hated woman in America." Even though, the movie is being based on Ashton's book, I do not think I can bring myself to watch it because of the outcome of the trial. I am too haunted by the adorable face of little Caylee Marie.
The defamation suit filed against Casey by Zenaida Gonzalez continues to move forward as does the civil suit filed against her by Texas Equusearch. Both cases are fueled by Casey's penchant for fabrication and lies.
Casey will continue to be in the news for quite sometime. But one person continues to get lost in the sensationalism--Caylee Marie Anthony, the little girl who would have turned seven years old this summer, if she'd been allowed to live.
Rest in peace, little girl--many of us have buried a piece of our hearts with yours.

Namaste Beer. Really, It's True!
To contact us Click HERE
Namaste Beer--I swear, y'all, I am not making this up. It is brewed with coriander, dried orange slices and lemongrass at the Dogfish Head Craft Brewery in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware--the first state in the nation and the first with beer for yogis.
Yesterday after yoga class, Bonnie, our instructor, pulled out a bottle of this stuff to toast my birthday.
Now, I can hear yoga purists all across the country groaning at this sacrilege: Beer not Tea? Yeah, y'all, I do realize that this divergence from tradition might presage the end of the world but this stuff is really tasty. Namaste beer is not the path to enlightenment but, hey, I felt my chi buzzing just the same. It certainly was a birthday moment to remember. I think it's a good time for a Namaste beer salutation--down dog time, everyone. Now, breathe...
Speaking of my birthday, I have a special message to all of you who listen to my husband's morning show on the radio. No, I did not just turn 87. And, yes, my ant bites have healed. To the rest of you, I am not kidding! Wayne talked about these things on the radio to the local audience and to his international live streaming listeners.
When he said I was turning 87, I sent him a text with a simple message: "WTF?!" It took a while to get a response
Believe it or not, he did not know the meaning of WTF so he had to ask Deric, the other person on the air with him at the time. Deric's first response was: "Man, you are really in trouble." Then he explained the meaning of WTF. I thought everyone knew that. All I can say to Wayne is: "WTF, Dude? Seriously, you don't know the meaning of WTF?"
All in all, I had a lovely birthday! Special thanks to the hundreds of Facebook friends who flooded me with well wishes. I love you all! Here is my birthday wish to you: May the coming year be filled with abundance and optimism--ignore the negative input and banish the fear-mongers. Move forward with confidence and conquer the day.
Namaste, y'all!

Let's Pretend this Never Happened: A Book Review
To contact us Click HERE
"I suspect it was because they[my parents] realized there was something wrong with me and believed that growing up in the same small West Texas town that they'd grown up in might change me into a normal person. This was one of the many things that they were wrong about."
I had a very difficult time reading Let's Pretend this Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir) by Jenny Lawson because I laughed so hard my eyes squeezed shut on almost every single page. If you doubt what I am saying about reading when your eyes won't stay open, duplicate my experiments I did with hardcover books, paperbacks and my iPad--trust me, if you're really intuitive, you may catch some vibes but the words will totally elude you.
Seriously, y'all, this is the funniest book I have ever read--foot-stomping, bend over, guffawing kind of funny. And influential, too. If you saw my post last Friday about Namaste Wine, the impact on my writing style while reading the book was obvious. I didn't go so far as to drop the F-bomb or let the V-missile fly all over the place, despite the temptation. (Yes, y'all, that is a warning. Jenny liberally employs the best known word that should-never-be-spoken-in-polite-company as well as the word forbidden in the Michigan State Legislature. If that language bothers you, Jenny's book will make you nuts. But I promise, you'll never hear anyone use either one to greater comic effect.)
I think the book will have a permanent impact on the rest my life. I'm pretty sure any time I hear the words "taxidermy," "acupuncture" or "raccoon" in the future, I will find it difficult to maintain my composure. All bets are off if there is ever a news story about a taxidermist dying from acupuncture while stroking his pet raccoon.
Jenny takes us from growing up in "the small, violently rural town of Wall, Texas," to her life in a Houston suburb to her current spot in the universe, out in the countryside near Austin. There are a few touching and tragic moments in Jenny's memoir that simply broke my heart. Even if you are non-feeling, callous and bored by the hardships of others, you will still appreciate these serious passages because they will give you a tiny bit of time to catch your breath before you are off laughing till you snort again.
Some of you have read Jenny as The Bloggess on line and like me, have come to appreciate her irreverent, aggressive style of humor. I've been following her on Twitter for quite some time.
You may have noticed that I call her Jenny, which could indicate that I know her, but I don't. I just feel close to her after reading her memoir. She probably would say that indicates something very disturbing about my character. Nonetheless, I genuinely hope I can meet her some day.
I knew Jenny was really funny so my expectations of her memoir were quite high. She thoroughly exceeded them in Let's Pretend This Never Happened. Thank you, Jenny!
Let's Pretend This Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir) by Jenny Lawson from Amy Einhorn Books, an imprint of Putnam, is available from any self-respecting bookseller, even from Murder by the Book.

POLE SHIFT. EARTH'S WOBBLE. GALACTIC ALIGNMENT. WEAKENING OF MAGNETIC FIELDS.

Possible Pole Shift Occuring*** South Atlantic Anomaly is Growing!!
Well, you don't get a better source than this! The British Geological Survey (Natural Environment Research Counsel) states that the "South Atlantic Anomaly" (SAA) is indeed growing. Read this excerpt below for an explanation:
Earth’s magnetic field has had many highs, lows and reversals in its past. The last reversal was around 800,000 years ago. So the Earth is known to be able to re-generate its field and has done so during human pre-history. Understanding the development of the SAA may therefore be significant in understanding the reversal process and its impact on life and the natural environment.
http://www.bgs.ac.uk/research/highlight ... c2010.html
What is the South Atlantic Anomaly?
The Earth’s magnetic field, generated deep within the planet, is a shield against particle radiation from space. In the South Atlantic this shield is much weaker than elsewhere across the globe and radiation from space therefore penetrates deeper into the atmosphere. This region is known as the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) and the radiation in the SAA is a known hazard to satellites, spacecraft and high-altitude aircraft.
Monitoring changes in magnetic field
The radiation input into the atmosphere depends on the Sun’s magnetic and radiation activity and the geometry (or ‘shape’) of the Earth’s magnetic field. So, understanding the space environment, particularly during magnetic storms, is important. Equally important is understanding any changes over time in the magnetic field observed across the surface of the Earth – see also Long-term monitoring of the Earth’s magnetic field.
A magnetic reversal in progress?
The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) is known to be growing in extent and spreading westwards from South Africa, as the Earth’s internal magnetic field rapidly weakens in this region. This may be early evidence of a forthcoming reversal in the direction of the Earth’s internal magnetic field. We do not know in detail precisely what occurs during such reversals, including the changes observed in the magnetic field and the time a reversal takes to complete. However these factors are important in knowing where the radiation risk may be increased and how the atmosphere might respond.

So the Earth is known to be able to re-generate its field and has done so during human pre-history. Understanding the development of the SAA may therefore be significant in understanding the reversal process and its impact on life and the natural environment.
New South Georgia Magnetic Observatory
By establishing a magnetic observatory on South Georgia BGS geomagnetists will specifically help to develop our understanding of the SAA by:
Joined up monitoring
Directly observing changes in the SAA in a region (mid Atlantic Ocean) poorly covered by permanent magnetic observatories. In the middle of the ocean only Ascension Island, Tristan da Cunha and St Helena observatories can provide monitoring of the magnetic field and its changes. We need to better relate observations of the SAA made separately on the land masses of Africa and South America. South Georgia observatory will therefore be a key addition to this small network of observatories.
Improving predictions
Providing new data to construct better mathematical models of the magnetic field. Such models can be used to infer how the flow of liquid iron in the outer core of the Earth is changing. This fluid flow sustains our magnetic field and forecasting how it changes in time will help improve predictions of future change in the SAA.
Understanding the complete ‘Earth System’
Promoting collaboration between space scientists, concerned with Earth’s space environment, and geoscientists, concerned with Earth’s other environments. There are major communities of these researchers both in the UK and internationally and the expertise of both space- and geo-scientists are needed to fully understand the complete ‘Earth system’. Measuring, monitoring and modelling the Earth’s magnetic field is a key aspect of this understanding and that is BGS’ contribution to this endeavour.

Image credit: NOAA National Geophysical Data CenterPole Reversal evidence is clearly shown in NOAA’s new data from the National Geophysical Data Center, named “EMAG2″ Earth Magnetic Anomaly Grid (2-arc-minute resolution).The map colors represent the direction of magnetism of the crustal surface rock (0 – 30 miles deep) as compared to the direction of magnetism of the earth’s core field deep below. The largest portion of the Earth’s magnetic field is generated in the Earth’s core, while magnetized rocks in the crust and upper mantle also make a significant contribution.This map tells it all.The way it works is…
New crust forms about 1 inch per year in many places, and during this process and as magnetic minerals cool below 1,100 degrees F, they develop a magnetic field and direction the same as the the strong core field beneath. This is ‘pretty cool’ because we can then ‘see’ the various fields and their magnetic ‘directions’ by way of data-mapping the magnetic fields of the surface crust and upper mantle.Here’s how to interpret the colors on the map…
The red-to-purple areas indicate magnetic fields of the surface to be in the same direction as the core field, creating a ‘positive anomaly’. The blue-to-black areas indicate where the magnetic fields on the surface oppose the core field, resulting in a ‘negative anomaly’.Yellow, white and light-blue indicate areas in which the surface field is either very weak, or is in the same direction as the (stronger) core field.Pacific Ocean west of California
What to look for…
On the ocean floor ridges you can clearly see stripes of uniformly magnetized crust on each side of a ridge. Every few hundred thousand years the core field reverses direction, and the next set of stripes therefore acquires the opposite direction of magnetization. This is clearly visible in EMAG2 as striped patterns which are symmetric about the ridges and appear asopposing colors of red-purple to blue-black.Wikipedia:
MORE INTERESTING READING ON POLE SHIFT1. Ending of Earth's Current Precessional Wobble.“In astronomy, precession refers to the movement of the rotational axis of a body, such as a planet, with respect to inertial space. In particular, it refers to the precession of the Earth's rotational axis, also called the precession of the equinoxes. Like a wobbling top, the orientation of the Earth's axis is slowly but continuously changing, tracing out a conical shape in a cycle of approximately 25,765 years (the so called Great or Platonic year, and also the determining factor in the length of an astrological age). This movement is caused by the gravitational forces of the Sun and the Moon, and to a lesser extent other bodies, on the equatorial bulge of the spinning Earth. The term "precession" typically refers only to this largest periodic motion; other changes in the alignment of Earth's axis — nutation and polar motion — are very much smaller in magnitude.”[1]Basically, the Earth is spinning on its axis, similar to a spinning top. It takes 25,765 years for it to finish one wobble, and then it starts another. Why is this important? Well, most researchers believe the earth is going to be completing its current wobble soon- "coincidentally?" on Dec 21st, 2012, to be exact.What is concerning is that geological evidence indicates some previous pole shifts and earth crust displacements have occurred at the same time as the ending/beginning of a precessional wobble. Some researchers believe that the earth is somehow vulnerable at this point in its wobble, and particularly so to gravitational influences (such as the one mentioned in the next sections).2. Galactic Alignment.“The Galactic Alignment is the alignment of the December solstice sun with the Galactic equator.”[2]In other words, our galaxy (the Milky Way) has a center. All the stars revolve around it. During each precessional wobble (25,765 years), there are four occasions when our galactic center aligns with the sunrise of a solstice or equinox.Once again, why is this important? Well, once again, "coincidentally?" and amazingly enough, we have a galactic alignment occuring on Dec 21st, 2012...3. Weakening of Earth's Magnetic Fields. The earth's magnetic field has decreased by 10% in the past century, is continuing to decrease, and the rate of that decrease accelerating. Many scientists believe, and the evidence supports it, that the weakening of the magnetic fieldheralds a pole shift. The reason being is that in flipping, it "recharges" the earth's magnetic field- imagine a battery, where positive is on one end, and negative the other. The question is at what point during the earth's weaking magnetic field that the shift will occur, and the answer is unknown.

CONCLUSIONWorrying about vague predictions that have no substantiated reasons is nonsensical- look at how many times Christians believed the end of the world was coming, the end of world predictions by Nostradmous, or even the Y2K scare. However, in contrast, the above IS cause for concern as current and upcoming events are known scientific facts. Let's look at some of these facts:

The cataclysmic pole shift hypothesis suggests that there have been geologically rapid shifts in the relative positions of the modern-day geographic locations of the poles and the axis of rotation of the Earth, creating calamities such as floods and tectonic events. Between approximately 790 and 810 million years ago, when the supercontinent Rodinia existed, two geologically-rapid phases of true polar wander may have occurred. In each of these, the Earth rotated ~55°Are we overdue for a magnetic pole shift? Many say yes.Do we know how quickly the pole shift will occur? No we do not. Many believe it is a very slow process, while others believe it to be much quicker.Do we know the consequences of a magnetic pole shift? There is (are) the obvious issues with navigation methods that may still use magnetic compass. Many believe that earth stresses will occur resulting in dramatic earthquake and volcanic activity and some believe that during a magnetic shift that the surface of the earth will be highly vulnerable to solar radiation which is typically kept in check from the earth’s magnetic field.Be Prepared.

Like a wobbling top, the orientation of the Earth's axis is slowly but continuously changing, tracing out a conical shape in a cycle of approximately 25,765 years (the so called Great or Platonic year, and also the determining factor in the length of an astrological age). This movement is caused by the gravitational forces of the Sun and the Moon, and to a lesser extent other bodies, on the equatorial bulge of the spinning Earth. The term "precession" typically refers only to this largest periodic motion; other changes in the alignment of Earth's axis — nutation and polar motion — are very much smaller in magnitude.”[1]Basically, the Earth is spinning on its axis, similar to a spinning top. It takes 25,765 years for it to finish one wobble, and then it starts another. Why is this important? Well, most researchers believe the earth is going to be completing its current wobble soon- "coincidentally?" on Dec 21st, 2012, to be exact.What is concerning is that geological evidence indicates some previous pole shifts and earth crust displacements have occurred at the same time as the ending/beginning of a precessional wobble. Some researchers believe that the earth is somehow vulnerable at this point in its wobble, and particularly so to gravitational influences (such as the one mentioned in the next sections).2. Galactic Alignment.“The Galactic Alignment is the alignment of the December solstice sun with the Galactic equator.”[2]In other words, our galaxy (the Milky Way) has a center. All the stars revolve around it. During each precessional wobble (25,765 years), there are four occasions when our galactic center aligns with the sunrise of a solstice or equinox.Once again, why is this important? Well, once again, "coincidentally?" and amazingly enough, we have a galactic alignment occuring on Dec 21st, 2012...3. Weakening of Earth's Magnetic Fields. The earth's magnetic field has decreased by 10% in the past century, is continuing to decrease, and the rate of that decrease accelerating. Many scientists believe, and the evidence supports it, that the weakening of the magnetic fieldheralds a pole shift. The reason being is that in flipping, it "recharges" the earth's magnetic field- imagine a battery, where positive is on one end, and negative the other. The question is at what point during the earth's weaking magnetic field that the shift will occur, and the answer is unknown.
....EVIDENCE OF PREVIOUS EVENTSNote: This section pending completion.1. Ancient Knowledge of Planet X and Survivor Descriptions of Previous System Pass Throughs.
According to researcher Zecharia Sitchin, the Sumerians had numerous epics where they explicitly reference Planet X, referred to as Nibiru.- Many believe that references in the Christian Bible by Elijah to “The Destroyer” (Jeremiah 25:32 and 48:8) are to Planet X- "Disasters will soon spread from nation to nation. They will come like a powerful storm to all the faraway places on earth... The Destroyer will come against every town, not one town will escape."
- A previous pass was described extensively in the Kolbrin Bible, as "The Destroyer/Frightener". For example:
- Egyptian Texts of the Bronzebook
- Creation 4:5- "..God caused a sign to appear in the Heaves, so that men should know the earth would be afflicted, and the sign was a strange star."
- Manuscripts 3:10- "...the hour of the Destroyer is at hand...".
- Manuscripts 33:5- "... four times the stars have moved to new positions and twice the Sun has [appeared to] change the direction of his journey. Twice The Destroyer has struck Earth and three times the heavens have opened and shut. Twice the land has been swept clean by water." [See below about the associated pole shift with Planet X's pass through.]
- Manuscripts 3:3- "When ages pass, certain laws operate upon the stars in the Heavens. Their ways change; there is movement and restlessness, they are no longer constant and a great light appears redly in the skies."
- Manuscripts 3:4- "When blood drops upon the Earth, the destroyer will appear, and mountains will open up and belch forth fire and ashes. Trees will be destroyed and all living things engulfed. Waters will be swallowed up by the land, and seas will boil."
- GLN:4:28- "The swelling waters swept up to the mountain tops and filled the valleys. [They] came in great surging torrents... the Destroyer passed away and the gread flood remained seven days afterward. Then the waters spread out calmly. There was brown scum and debris".
- Celtic Texts of the Coelbook
- Silver Bough 7:18- "...I am the prophet to tell men of The Frightener,though many generations will pass before it appears. It will be a thing of monstrous greatness arising in the form of a crab.. its body will be red... It will spread destruction across the Earth, running from sunrise to sunset.".
2. Ancient Knowledge of Poles and Descriptions of Pole Shifts. Many primitive tribes describe not only poles explicitly, but also pole shifts:
- Kolbrin Bible, Manuscripts 33:5 - "... four times the stars have moved to new positions and twice the Sun has [appeared to] change the direction of his journey. Twice The Destroyer has struck Earth and three times the heavens have opened and shut. Twice the land has been swept clean by water."
- The Greenland Eskimos told early missionaries that long ago the Earth "turned over".
- The Pawnee Indians tell the same story of a time when the north and south polar stars changed places and "went to visit each other".
- Brazilian myth describes how the heavens burst and fragments fell down killing everything and everyone as heavens and Earth changed places.
- The Hopi tribe have a legend that explains the death of the second world. There were supposedly two twins, Poqanghoya and Plongawhoya, who were guardians of the north and south axes of the world. They were ordered by Sotuknang, a nephew of the Creator, to abandon their posts since people had become evil. This would allow the destruction of the second world, and allow a new world to form. According to the legend, when the twins left their posts, the world went crazy in space. Eventually Sotuknang ordered [the twins] to their stations at the poles of the world axis. With a great shudder and a splintering of ice the planet began rotating again. When it was revolving smoothly about its own axis and stately moving in its universal orbit, the ice began to melt and the world began to warm to life. Sokutnang set about creating the Third World.[6]
- Some researchers believe that the description of the Flood in the Christian Bible is describing the tidal surges associated with an ECD. This is also described in the Kolbrin Bible, as seen above, seemingly in association with a pass of Planet X:
- OGS:3:22,23- "Then... came a high wave wall of dark, white-fang-edged waters... carried everything... as a broom sweeps the floor... fruits of the land, house debris, trees, bloated dead animals and humans floated upon the wild, wide waters... earthy, brown, foamy scum... great downpouring of rain which stopped after seven days, surging seas tore even between the high mountains.. [Their ancestors] saw the swimming house, made fast against the sea, come up to the land, and out of it came men and beasts from Tirfola [North American continent]".
- Gleanings 4:24- "The Destroyer... opened its mouth and belched forth fire, hot stones, and a vile smoke. It covered the whole sky above and meeting place of Earth and Heaven could no longer be seen. In the evening, the places of the stars were changed, they rolled across the sky to new stations; then, the floodwaters came".
- Gleanings 4:28- "The swelling waters swept up to the mountain tops and filled the valleys. They did not rise like water poured into a bowl, but came in great surging torrents...".
- Old Chinese texts describe how the pillars supporting the sky crumbled; of how the sun, moon and stars poured down in the northwest where the Earth sank and a great conflagration was quenched by a raging flood.
- North American traditions refer to great clouds appearing and a heat so powerful that the waters boiled.
- Peruvian legends say that the Andes Mountains were ripped apart when the sky made war with the Earth.
CONCLUSIONWorrying about vague predictions that have no substantiated reasons is nonsensical- look at how many times Christians believed the end of the world was coming, the end of world predictions by Nostradmous, or even the Y2K scare. However, in contrast, the above IS cause for concern as current and upcoming events are known scientific facts. Let's look at some of these facts:
- The earth goes through periodic pole shifts and earth crust displacements.
- The earth's magnetic field has been unexplicably weakening.
- The earth's molten iron (that powers the magnetic field) was jolted, and is "jerking" the magnetic north pole- which has begun moving at an accelerated rate.
- The sun's activity has reached a new high, and is more magnetically active now that in the last 1,000 years.
- Recently a sun spot appeared on the sun- magnetically backward.
- In 2005, NASA has been so concerned with solar blasts and the effects on the sun (such as the unprecedent solar flares) that they claimed the space weather theory scrapped.
- The earth is finishing its current precessional cycle in 2012.
- Geological evidence (such as magnetically charged lava) has shown that pole shifts occur at the ending/beginning of precessional cycles.
- Primitive peoples specifically describe pole shifts and earth crust displacements.

New Year's Wish: One More Civil Case Against Casey Anthony
To contact us Click HERE
I am really befuddled by the court's decision to allow Casey Anthony to remain silent and cling to her fifth amendment rights. On the one hand, she objected to answer questions in a deposition saying she would incriminate herself if she did so in the civil cases brought against her.
Right now, there are three of them. Zenaida Gonzalez has claimed she was damaged when Casey told lies about her. Judge Lisa Monyon ruled that a deposition in this case would include questions that could directly impact her appeal on her four convictions for lying to law enforcement. Thus, her right to remain silent was upheld.
The judge has yet to reach a decisions in the Texas Equusearch lawsuit. The organization requested reimbursement for the $110,000 they spent on a wild goose chase for a missing child that Casey knew, according to opening statements in her trial, was already deceased. Munyon reserved her decision on this matter, writing that she needed "a more detailed explanation of the defendant's reasons for asserting her fifth amendment privilege." There is little reason, however, to believe that she would rule differently in this case.
The third and most recent lawsuit was filed by Roy Kronk, the hapless meter-reader who found Caylee's body. He claimed that Casey and her representatives, on numerous occasions, alleged that he was responsible for placing the remains where they were discovered. In his filing, he asserted that this accusation has caused him humiliation and embarrassment. The fifth amendment question has yet to arise in this case. Again, it is suspected the courts would protect Casey's silence in the same manner.
On the other hand, a media interview with Casey Anthony has been peddled by an agent working on her behalf, originally for $750,000 and now bargain-priced for $500,000. In addition to that, Dr. Keith Ablow reported that he was approached to do a combo therapy and book deal with Anthony. He found the ethics of that offer questionable and declined to take part in it.
So, Casey Anthony is free to laugh at the court and at her victims because she is protected from answering questions to the people she has harmed in her deal with the devil to get away with murder. But she is free to answer questions for a profit. Does that make any sense to you?
Not a bit to me. I'm not saying that the protections against self-incrimination are wrong. I am simply suggesting that when the person in question is trying to sell her story, she's fair game. She shouldn't be able to have it both ways. Yet, somehow, the courts are allowing that, leaving me wanting something else to top the current crop of claims against her.
Here's what I'd like to see happen on New Year's Day or any time soon after: George Anthony wakes up one morning with Caylee on his mind and enough gumption in his spine to do the right thing for his granddaughter. He files a wrongful death suit against the woman clearly responsible for the little girl's death, Casey Anthony.
Caylee's watching, George. Wouldn't that be a nice way to start the new year?

The Explosion that Killed Susan Powell's Sons

After yesterday afternoon's disturbing news, I posted on Forbes about the horrific developments in this case:The last time anyone saw Susan Powell was at dinner on the evening of December 6, 2009, in her home inSalt Lake City, Utah. Soon after her disappearance, her husband, Josh, took their young children and moved to Graham, Washington, to the home of his father, Steven Powell.Josh was already a suspect in the disappearance of his wife, and he had a lawyer, so why was he allowed to leave the state? And why was his demonstration of a total lack of concern for his missing spouse not sufficient reason to remove the children from his care?But still, more than a year and a half later, Josh maintained control of the children. In August 2011, Susan’s boys were living with their father and grandfather, even though there was an ongoing murder investigation and Josh was the only suspect.Read more...

Four Years after Caylee Anthony's Murder
To contact us Click HERE
Over the weekend, we slid past the fourth anniversary of the death of Caylee Marie Anthony. It remains difficult for me to think about her and incomprehensible to me that she did not receive the justice she so richly deserved.
When my book, Mommy's Little Girl, was published in November 2009, I would have laughed at anyone who told me that Casey Anthony would be acquitted in her upcoming trial. I'd read the interviews conducted by law enforcement. I'd seen the forensic reports. I read the autopsy report. And beyond all that, I'd learned that the only consistency in Casey's life was her habit of lying about everything and everyone--including herself.
The circus atmosphere fostered in this case since the very beginning, continues to frolic across the air waves. Reports about Casey reading The Hunger Games, a trilogy centered around fight-to-the-death games involving children; her claim that Caylee was conceived through an act of date rape; and her denials of any involvement in the death of her daughter made to Piers Morgan.
A Lifetime movie was announced starring Rob Lowe as prosecutor Jeff Ashton and Canadian actress Holly Deveaux as Casey Anthony. Then after much fanfare, Deveaux dropped out with no reason given. Maybe she had second thoughts about her career being launched by a portrayal of the "most hated woman in America." Even though, the movie is being based on Ashton's book, I do not think I can bring myself to watch it because of the outcome of the trial. I am too haunted by the adorable face of little Caylee Marie.
The defamation suit filed against Casey by Zenaida Gonzalez continues to move forward as does the civil suit filed against her by Texas Equusearch. Both cases are fueled by Casey's penchant for fabrication and lies.
Casey will continue to be in the news for quite sometime. But one person continues to get lost in the sensationalism--Caylee Marie Anthony, the little girl who would have turned seven years old this summer, if she'd been allowed to live.
Rest in peace, little girl--many of us have buried a piece of our hearts with yours.

Namaste Beer. Really, It's True!
To contact us Click HERE
Namaste Beer--I swear, y'all, I am not making this up. It is brewed with coriander, dried orange slices and lemongrass at the Dogfish Head Craft Brewery in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware--the first state in the nation and the first with beer for yogis.
Yesterday after yoga class, Bonnie, our instructor, pulled out a bottle of this stuff to toast my birthday.
Now, I can hear yoga purists all across the country groaning at this sacrilege: Beer not Tea? Yeah, y'all, I do realize that this divergence from tradition might presage the end of the world but this stuff is really tasty. Namaste beer is not the path to enlightenment but, hey, I felt my chi buzzing just the same. It certainly was a birthday moment to remember. I think it's a good time for a Namaste beer salutation--down dog time, everyone. Now, breathe...
Speaking of my birthday, I have a special message to all of you who listen to my husband's morning show on the radio. No, I did not just turn 87. And, yes, my ant bites have healed. To the rest of you, I am not kidding! Wayne talked about these things on the radio to the local audience and to his international live streaming listeners.
When he said I was turning 87, I sent him a text with a simple message: "WTF?!" It took a while to get a response
Believe it or not, he did not know the meaning of WTF so he had to ask Deric, the other person on the air with him at the time. Deric's first response was: "Man, you are really in trouble." Then he explained the meaning of WTF. I thought everyone knew that. All I can say to Wayne is: "WTF, Dude? Seriously, you don't know the meaning of WTF?"
All in all, I had a lovely birthday! Special thanks to the hundreds of Facebook friends who flooded me with well wishes. I love you all! Here is my birthday wish to you: May the coming year be filled with abundance and optimism--ignore the negative input and banish the fear-mongers. Move forward with confidence and conquer the day.
Namaste, y'all!

Let's Pretend this Never Happened: A Book Review
To contact us Click HERE
"I suspect it was because they[my parents] realized there was something wrong with me and believed that growing up in the same small West Texas town that they'd grown up in might change me into a normal person. This was one of the many things that they were wrong about."
I had a very difficult time reading Let's Pretend this Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir) by Jenny Lawson because I laughed so hard my eyes squeezed shut on almost every single page. If you doubt what I am saying about reading when your eyes won't stay open, duplicate my experiments I did with hardcover books, paperbacks and my iPad--trust me, if you're really intuitive, you may catch some vibes but the words will totally elude you.
Seriously, y'all, this is the funniest book I have ever read--foot-stomping, bend over, guffawing kind of funny. And influential, too. If you saw my post last Friday about Namaste Wine, the impact on my writing style while reading the book was obvious. I didn't go so far as to drop the F-bomb or let the V-missile fly all over the place, despite the temptation. (Yes, y'all, that is a warning. Jenny liberally employs the best known word that should-never-be-spoken-in-polite-company as well as the word forbidden in the Michigan State Legislature. If that language bothers you, Jenny's book will make you nuts. But I promise, you'll never hear anyone use either one to greater comic effect.)
I think the book will have a permanent impact on the rest my life. I'm pretty sure any time I hear the words "taxidermy," "acupuncture" or "raccoon" in the future, I will find it difficult to maintain my composure. All bets are off if there is ever a news story about a taxidermist dying from acupuncture while stroking his pet raccoon.
Jenny takes us from growing up in "the small, violently rural town of Wall, Texas," to her life in a Houston suburb to her current spot in the universe, out in the countryside near Austin. There are a few touching and tragic moments in Jenny's memoir that simply broke my heart. Even if you are non-feeling, callous and bored by the hardships of others, you will still appreciate these serious passages because they will give you a tiny bit of time to catch your breath before you are off laughing till you snort again.
Some of you have read Jenny as The Bloggess on line and like me, have come to appreciate her irreverent, aggressive style of humor. I've been following her on Twitter for quite some time.
You may have noticed that I call her Jenny, which could indicate that I know her, but I don't. I just feel close to her after reading her memoir. She probably would say that indicates something very disturbing about my character. Nonetheless, I genuinely hope I can meet her some day.
I knew Jenny was really funny so my expectations of her memoir were quite high. She thoroughly exceeded them in Let's Pretend This Never Happened. Thank you, Jenny!
Let's Pretend This Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir) by Jenny Lawson from Amy Einhorn Books, an imprint of Putnam, is available from any self-respecting bookseller, even from Murder by the Book.

Yesterday after yoga class, Bonnie, our instructor, pulled out a bottle of this stuff to toast my birthday.
Now, I can hear yoga purists all across the country groaning at this sacrilege: Beer not Tea? Yeah, y'all, I do realize that this divergence from tradition might presage the end of the world but this stuff is really tasty. Namaste beer is not the path to enlightenment but, hey, I felt my chi buzzing just the same. It certainly was a birthday moment to remember. I think it's a good time for a Namaste beer salutation--down dog time, everyone. Now, breathe...
Speaking of my birthday, I have a special message to all of you who listen to my husband's morning show on the radio. No, I did not just turn 87. And, yes, my ant bites have healed. To the rest of you, I am not kidding! Wayne talked about these things on the radio to the local audience and to his international live streaming listeners.
When he said I was turning 87, I sent him a text with a simple message: "WTF?!" It took a while to get a response
Believe it or not, he did not know the meaning of WTF so he had to ask Deric, the other person on the air with him at the time. Deric's first response was: "Man, you are really in trouble." Then he explained the meaning of WTF. I thought everyone knew that. All I can say to Wayne is: "WTF, Dude? Seriously, you don't know the meaning of WTF?"
All in all, I had a lovely birthday! Special thanks to the hundreds of Facebook friends who flooded me with well wishes. I love you all! Here is my birthday wish to you: May the coming year be filled with abundance and optimism--ignore the negative input and banish the fear-mongers. Move forward with confidence and conquer the day.
Namaste, y'all!
Let's Pretend this Never Happened: A Book Review
To contact us Click HERE
"I suspect it was because they[my parents] realized there was something wrong with me and believed that growing up in the same small West Texas town that they'd grown up in might change me into a normal person. This was one of the many things that they were wrong about."
I had a very difficult time reading Let's Pretend this Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir) by Jenny Lawson because I laughed so hard my eyes squeezed shut on almost every single page. If you doubt what I am saying about reading when your eyes won't stay open, duplicate my experiments I did with hardcover books, paperbacks and my iPad--trust me, if you're really intuitive, you may catch some vibes but the words will totally elude you.
Seriously, y'all, this is the funniest book I have ever read--foot-stomping, bend over, guffawing kind of funny. And influential, too. If you saw my post last Friday about Namaste Wine, the impact on my writing style while reading the book was obvious. I didn't go so far as to drop the F-bomb or let the V-missile fly all over the place, despite the temptation. (Yes, y'all, that is a warning. Jenny liberally employs the best known word that should-never-be-spoken-in-polite-company as well as the word forbidden in the Michigan State Legislature. If that language bothers you, Jenny's book will make you nuts. But I promise, you'll never hear anyone use either one to greater comic effect.)
I think the book will have a permanent impact on the rest my life. I'm pretty sure any time I hear the words "taxidermy," "acupuncture" or "raccoon" in the future, I will find it difficult to maintain my composure. All bets are off if there is ever a news story about a taxidermist dying from acupuncture while stroking his pet raccoon.
Jenny takes us from growing up in "the small, violently rural town of Wall, Texas," to her life in a Houston suburb to her current spot in the universe, out in the countryside near Austin. There are a few touching and tragic moments in Jenny's memoir that simply broke my heart. Even if you are non-feeling, callous and bored by the hardships of others, you will still appreciate these serious passages because they will give you a tiny bit of time to catch your breath before you are off laughing till you snort again.
Some of you have read Jenny as The Bloggess on line and like me, have come to appreciate her irreverent, aggressive style of humor. I've been following her on Twitter for quite some time.
You may have noticed that I call her Jenny, which could indicate that I know her, but I don't. I just feel close to her after reading her memoir. She probably would say that indicates something very disturbing about my character. Nonetheless, I genuinely hope I can meet her some day.
I knew Jenny was really funny so my expectations of her memoir were quite high. She thoroughly exceeded them in Let's Pretend This Never Happened. Thank you, Jenny!
Let's Pretend This Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir) by Jenny Lawson from Amy Einhorn Books, an imprint of Putnam, is available from any self-respecting bookseller, even from Murder by the Book.

POLE SHIFT. EARTH'S WOBBLE. GALACTIC ALIGNMENT. WEAKENING OF MAGNETIC FIELDS.

Possible Pole Shift Occuring*** South Atlantic Anomaly is Growing!!
Well, you don't get a better source than this! The British Geological Survey (Natural Environment Research Counsel) states that the "South Atlantic Anomaly" (SAA) is indeed growing. Read this excerpt below for an explanation:
Earth’s magnetic field has had many highs, lows and reversals in its past. The last reversal was around 800,000 years ago. So the Earth is known to be able to re-generate its field and has done so during human pre-history. Understanding the development of the SAA may therefore be significant in understanding the reversal process and its impact on life and the natural environment.
http://www.bgs.ac.uk/research/highlight ... c2010.html
What is the South Atlantic Anomaly?
The Earth’s magnetic field, generated deep within the planet, is a shield against particle radiation from space. In the South Atlantic this shield is much weaker than elsewhere across the globe and radiation from space therefore penetrates deeper into the atmosphere. This region is known as the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) and the radiation in the SAA is a known hazard to satellites, spacecraft and high-altitude aircraft.
Monitoring changes in magnetic field
The radiation input into the atmosphere depends on the Sun’s magnetic and radiation activity and the geometry (or ‘shape’) of the Earth’s magnetic field. So, understanding the space environment, particularly during magnetic storms, is important. Equally important is understanding any changes over time in the magnetic field observed across the surface of the Earth – see also Long-term monitoring of the Earth’s magnetic field.
A magnetic reversal in progress?
The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) is known to be growing in extent and spreading westwards from South Africa, as the Earth’s internal magnetic field rapidly weakens in this region. This may be early evidence of a forthcoming reversal in the direction of the Earth’s internal magnetic field. We do not know in detail precisely what occurs during such reversals, including the changes observed in the magnetic field and the time a reversal takes to complete. However these factors are important in knowing where the radiation risk may be increased and how the atmosphere might respond.
Earth’s magnetic field has had many highs, lows and reversals in its past. The last reversal was around 800,000 years ago. So the Earth is known to be able to re-generate its field and has done so during human pre-history. Understanding the development of the SAA may therefore be significant in understanding the reversal process and its impact on life and the natural environment.
New South Georgia Magnetic Observatory
By establishing a magnetic observatory on South Georgia BGS geomagnetists will specifically help to develop our understanding of the SAA by:
Joined up monitoring
Directly observing changes in the SAA in a region (mid Atlantic Ocean) poorly covered by permanent magnetic observatories. In the middle of the ocean only Ascension Island, Tristan da Cunha and St Helena observatories can provide monitoring of the magnetic field and its changes. We need to better relate observations of the SAA made separately on the land masses of Africa and South America. South Georgia observatory will therefore be a key addition to this small network of observatories.
Improving predictions
Providing new data to construct better mathematical models of the magnetic field. Such models can be used to infer how the flow of liquid iron in the outer core of the Earth is changing. This fluid flow sustains our magnetic field and forecasting how it changes in time will help improve predictions of future change in the SAA.
Understanding the complete ‘Earth System’
Promoting collaboration between space scientists, concerned with Earth’s space environment, and geoscientists, concerned with Earth’s other environments. There are major communities of these researchers both in the UK and internationally and the expertise of both space- and geo-scientists are needed to fully understand the complete ‘Earth system’. Measuring, monitoring and modelling the Earth’s magnetic field is a key aspect of this understanding and that is BGS’ contribution to this endeavour.

Image credit: NOAA National Geophysical Data CenterPole Reversal evidence is clearly shown in NOAA’s new data from the National Geophysical Data Center, named “EMAG2″ Earth Magnetic Anomaly Grid (2-arc-minute resolution).The map colors represent the direction of magnetism of the crustal surface rock (0 – 30 miles deep) as compared to the direction of magnetism of the earth’s core field deep below. The largest portion of the Earth’s magnetic field is generated in the Earth’s core, while magnetized rocks in the crust and upper mantle also make a significant contribution.This map tells it all.The way it works is…
New crust forms about 1 inch per year in many places, and during this process and as magnetic minerals cool below 1,100 degrees F, they develop a magnetic field and direction the same as the the strong core field beneath. This is ‘pretty cool’ because we can then ‘see’ the various fields and their magnetic ‘directions’ by way of data-mapping the magnetic fields of the surface crust and upper mantle.Here’s how to interpret the colors on the map…
The red-to-purple areas indicate magnetic fields of the surface to be in the same direction as the core field, creating a ‘positive anomaly’. The blue-to-black areas indicate where the magnetic fields on the surface oppose the core field, resulting in a ‘negative anomaly’.Yellow, white and light-blue indicate areas in which the surface field is either very weak, or is in the same direction as the (stronger) core field.Pacific Ocean west of California
What to look for…
On the ocean floor ridges you can clearly see stripes of uniformly magnetized crust on each side of a ridge. Every few hundred thousand years the core field reverses direction, and the next set of stripes therefore acquires the opposite direction of magnetization. This is clearly visible in EMAG2 as striped patterns which are symmetric about the ridges and appear asopposing colors of red-purple to blue-black.Wikipedia:
MORE INTERESTING READING ON POLE SHIFT1. Ending of Earth's Current Precessional Wobble.“In astronomy, precession refers to the movement of the rotational axis of a body, such as a planet, with respect to inertial space. In particular, it refers to the precession of the Earth's rotational axis, also called the precession of the equinoxes. Like a wobbling top, the orientation of the Earth's axis is slowly but continuously changing, tracing out a conical shape in a cycle of approximately 25,765 years (the so called Great or Platonic year, and also the determining factor in the length of an astrological age). This movement is caused by the gravitational forces of the Sun and the Moon, and to a lesser extent other bodies, on the equatorial bulge of the spinning Earth. The term "precession" typically refers only to this largest periodic motion; other changes in the alignment of Earth's axis — nutation and polar motion — are very much smaller in magnitude.”[1]Basically, the Earth is spinning on its axis, similar to a spinning top. It takes 25,765 years for it to finish one wobble, and then it starts another. Why is this important? Well, most researchers believe the earth is going to be completing its current wobble soon- "coincidentally?" on Dec 21st, 2012, to be exact.What is concerning is that geological evidence indicates some previous pole shifts and earth crust displacements have occurred at the same time as the ending/beginning of a precessional wobble. Some researchers believe that the earth is somehow vulnerable at this point in its wobble, and particularly so to gravitational influences (such as the one mentioned in the next sections).2. Galactic Alignment.“The Galactic Alignment is the alignment of the December solstice sun with the Galactic equator.”[2]In other words, our galaxy (the Milky Way) has a center. All the stars revolve around it. During each precessional wobble (25,765 years), there are four occasions when our galactic center aligns with the sunrise of a solstice or equinox.Once again, why is this important? Well, once again, "coincidentally?" and amazingly enough, we have a galactic alignment occuring on Dec 21st, 2012...3. Weakening of Earth's Magnetic Fields. The earth's magnetic field has decreased by 10% in the past century, is continuing to decrease, and the rate of that decrease accelerating. Many scientists believe, and the evidence supports it, that the weakening of the magnetic fieldheralds a pole shift. The reason being is that in flipping, it "recharges" the earth's magnetic field- imagine a battery, where positive is on one end, and negative the other. The question is at what point during the earth's weaking magnetic field that the shift will occur, and the answer is unknown.

The cataclysmic pole shift hypothesis suggests that there have been geologically rapid shifts in the relative positions of the modern-day geographic locations of the poles and the axis of rotation of the Earth, creating calamities such as floods and tectonic events. Between approximately 790 and 810 million years ago, when the supercontinent Rodinia existed, two geologically-rapid phases of true polar wander may have occurred. In each of these, the Earth rotated ~55°Are we overdue for a magnetic pole shift? Many say yes.Do we know how quickly the pole shift will occur? No we do not. Many believe it is a very slow process, while others believe it to be much quicker.Do we know the consequences of a magnetic pole shift? There is (are) the obvious issues with navigation methods that may still use magnetic compass. Many believe that earth stresses will occur resulting in dramatic earthquake and volcanic activity and some believe that during a magnetic shift that the surface of the earth will be highly vulnerable to solar radiation which is typically kept in check from the earth’s magnetic field.Be Prepared.

....EVIDENCE OF PREVIOUS EVENTSNote: This section pending completion.1. Ancient Knowledge of Planet X and Survivor Descriptions of Previous System Pass Throughs.
- According to researcher Zecharia Sitchin, the Sumerians had numerous epics where they explicitly reference Planet X, referred to as Nibiru.
- Many believe that references in the Christian Bible by Elijah to “The Destroyer” (Jeremiah 25:32 and 48:8) are to Planet X- "Disasters will soon spread from nation to nation. They will come like a powerful storm to all the faraway places on earth... The Destroyer will come against every town, not one town will escape."
- A previous pass was described extensively in the Kolbrin Bible, as "The Destroyer/Frightener". For example:
- Egyptian Texts of the Bronzebook
- Creation 4:5- "..God caused a sign to appear in the Heaves, so that men should know the earth would be afflicted, and the sign was a strange star."
- Manuscripts 3:10- "...the hour of the Destroyer is at hand...".
- Manuscripts 33:5- "... four times the stars have moved to new positions and twice the Sun has [appeared to] change the direction of his journey. Twice The Destroyer has struck Earth and three times the heavens have opened and shut. Twice the land has been swept clean by water." [See below about the associated pole shift with Planet X's pass through.]
- Manuscripts 3:3- "When ages pass, certain laws operate upon the stars in the Heavens. Their ways change; there is movement and restlessness, they are no longer constant and a great light appears redly in the skies."
- Manuscripts 3:4- "When blood drops upon the Earth, the destroyer will appear, and mountains will open up and belch forth fire and ashes. Trees will be destroyed and all living things engulfed. Waters will be swallowed up by the land, and seas will boil."
- GLN:4:28- "The swelling waters swept up to the mountain tops and filled the valleys. [They] came in great surging torrents... the Destroyer passed away and the gread flood remained seven days afterward. Then the waters spread out calmly. There was brown scum and debris".
- Celtic Texts of the Coelbook
- Silver Bough 7:18- "...I am the prophet to tell men of The Frightener,though many generations will pass before it appears. It will be a thing of monstrous greatness arising in the form of a crab.. its body will be red... It will spread destruction across the Earth, running from sunrise to sunset.".
2. Ancient Knowledge of Poles and Descriptions of Pole Shifts. Many primitive tribes describe not only poles explicitly, but also pole shifts:
- Kolbrin Bible, Manuscripts 33:5 - "... four times the stars have moved to new positions and twice the Sun has [appeared to] change the direction of his journey. Twice The Destroyer has struck Earth and three times the heavens have opened and shut. Twice the land has been swept clean by water."
- The Greenland Eskimos told early missionaries that long ago the Earth "turned over".
- The Pawnee Indians tell the same story of a time when the north and south polar stars changed places and "went to visit each other".
- Brazilian myth describes how the heavens burst and fragments fell down killing everything and everyone as heavens and Earth changed places.
- The Hopi tribe have a legend that explains the death of the second world. There were supposedly two twins, Poqanghoya and Plongawhoya, who were guardians of the north and south axes of the world. They were ordered by Sotuknang, a nephew of the Creator, to abandon their posts since people had become evil. This would allow the destruction of the second world, and allow a new world to form. According to the legend, when the twins left their posts, the world went crazy in space. Eventually Sotuknang ordered [the twins] to their stations at the poles of the world axis. With a great shudder and a splintering of ice the planet began rotating again. When it was revolving smoothly about its own axis and stately moving in its universal orbit, the ice began to melt and the world began to warm to life. Sokutnang set about creating the Third World.[6]
- Some researchers believe that the description of the Flood in the Christian Bible is describing the tidal surges associated with an ECD. This is also described in the Kolbrin Bible, as seen above, seemingly in association with a pass of Planet X:
- OGS:3:22,23- "Then... came a high wave wall of dark, white-fang-edged waters... carried everything... as a broom sweeps the floor... fruits of the land, house debris, trees, bloated dead animals and humans floated upon the wild, wide waters... earthy, brown, foamy scum... great downpouring of rain which stopped after seven days, surging seas tore even between the high mountains.. [Their ancestors] saw the swimming house, made fast against the sea, come up to the land, and out of it came men and beasts from Tirfola [North American continent]".
- Gleanings 4:24- "The Destroyer... opened its mouth and belched forth fire, hot stones, and a vile smoke. It covered the whole sky above and meeting place of Earth and Heaven could no longer be seen. In the evening, the places of the stars were changed, they rolled across the sky to new stations; then, the floodwaters came".
- Gleanings 4:28- "The swelling waters swept up to the mountain tops and filled the valleys. They did not rise like water poured into a bowl, but came in great surging torrents...".
- Old Chinese texts describe how the pillars supporting the sky crumbled; of how the sun, moon and stars poured down in the northwest where the Earth sank and a great conflagration was quenched by a raging flood.
- North American traditions refer to great clouds appearing and a heat so powerful that the waters boiled.
- Peruvian legends say that the Andes Mountains were ripped apart when the sky made war with the Earth.
CONCLUSIONWorrying about vague predictions that have no substantiated reasons is nonsensical- look at how many times Christians believed the end of the world was coming, the end of world predictions by Nostradmous, or even the Y2K scare. However, in contrast, the above IS cause for concern as current and upcoming events are known scientific facts. Let's look at some of these facts:
- The earth goes through periodic pole shifts and earth crust displacements.
- The earth's magnetic field has been unexplicably weakening.
- The earth's molten iron (that powers the magnetic field) was jolted, and is "jerking" the magnetic north pole- which has begun moving at an accelerated rate.
