The Pending "Blood Moon" Has Some People Preparing For The Apocalypse

by Jim Dalrymple II
Philip.paulsson

Oh hey, I guess the world didn't end, so that's good.

Members of several faiths believe Sunday night’s blood moon may portend catastrophe.

The event, which will happen overnight Sunday, is basically the convergence of two astronomical phenomena: A supermoon, which happens when the moon reaches its closest point to Earth, and a lunar eclipse, which takes place when the earth moves in between the moon and the sun. With direct sunlight blocked, the moon appears to take on a reddish hue, hence the phrase "blood moon."

The last time this combination of events happened was in 1982.

NASA / Via youtube.com

The idea is that the blood moons are the fulfillment of prophecy from the New Testament, with Revelations 6:12 among the oft-cited passages:

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.

When there is a series of four blood moons within two years, it's called a "tetrad." Saturday's blood moon will complete a tetrad, having followed previous lunar eclipses in April and October of 2014, as well as April of this year.

Each of the recent blood moons have also happened on Jewish feast days, which believers see as significant.

Pastor John Hagee is one of the highest profile figures connecting the upcoming blood moon to prophecy and, potentially, disaster. Hagee is the author of the 2013 book Four Blood Moons, and in a promotional video for the book he predicted a "world shaking event that will happen between April 2014 and October 2015."

Philip.paulsson

Er... $99 plus the cost of a phone that can run the software, which is adds at least $600.

At 2015’s Oculus Connect 2, the device that wants to take virtual reality mainstream just got affordable. Also: Netflix on Oculus!

The current Gear VR headset.

John Locher / AP

The big play to get virtual reality in the hands of normal people — yes, that means you — is here.

At Oculus Connect 2, the virtual reality company's annual developer's conference, Oculus' is touting that its partnership with Samsung is becoming more affordable.

The Facebook-owned virtual reality company has been partnered with Samsung for over two years now, and last year they launched the Gear VR — a headset that allows its virtual reality experiences to play on Samsung smartphones. According to Peter Koo, SVP of Technology Strategy for Samsung, the early Gear VR model was for the developers and innovators and early adopters.

Now, it's for everyone.

And to make that happen, Oculus is bring the price to $99, down from close to $200.

The new Gear VR will work with any 2015 Samsung Galaxy flagship phones, it's 22% lighter than the last iteration and reportedly more comfortable.

It ships in November, and will coincide with the launch of the Oculus Arcade, a partnership with game studios that will bring classic games like Pacman and Sonic The Hedgehog to virtual reality. The company also announced that Netflix will be available on the VR device.

Good! You shouldn't still have an allowance at 23.

Today, at 8:00am, I walked into the kitchen and stubbed my toe. That's quite a normal occurrence, but this time, I stubbed it on my drunk, passed out, 53-year-old father's forehead. He's mad at me now and has cancelled my allowance. I'm 23. FML

"I'm 5'6, middle-class, and obviously a black male. According to most market research the cards are stacked against me. I realised that I could overcome many of my physical disadvantages with humour, so all my profiles are built to make the ladies laugh."

This isn't the first time Vincent's Tinder profile has been the topic of conversation on the internet.

News in Brief: Horrified Pope Calls Philadelphia Humanity’s Greatest Sin Against God

Philip.paulsson

Double hah!

PHILADELPHIA—Visibly aghast as he took the pulpit at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in Philadelphia to deliver a sermon Saturday, a horrified Pope Francis reportedly referred to the city as a “blighted abomination, forsaken by Heaven” and “humanity’s greatest sin against God.” “In my travels, I have seen countless examples of man’s inhumanity toward his fellow man, the most utter wretchedness, and the vilest iniquity, but in this place and in these people I see a darkness blacker than all the world’s evils. God has fled this town,” said the ashen-faced pontiff, recoiling in disgust from the assembled crowd while describing the Philadelphia metro area as “the only corner of Creation where the light of the Lord does not shine.” “The love of Christ falls upon us all, even the lowliest of the low—but not Philadelphia. Touch me not, for you are ...

These Ads For A Gay Hookup Site Were Pulled From Toronto Subways

by Lauren Strapagiel
Philip.paulsson

What a terrible name!

The TTC says the site promotes illegal, public sex.

The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) has pulled ads for a gay hookup site from their stations and the owners of Squirt.org want to know why.

The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) has pulled ads for a gay hookup site from their stations and the owners of Squirt.org want to know why.

Squirt is a Toronto-based site for gay men owned by Pink Triangle Press, which also publishes Daily Xtra.

Two ads for the site went up on TTC subway cars at the end of August, but in mid-September they were taken down.

The company's marketing director, Andrew Nolan, told BuzzFeed Canada they were notified that there had been complaints about the ads and the board would be reviewing them. The next they heard, the ads were being taken down.

Pink Triangle Press

The ads show shirtless men — some embracing — with the tagline "non-stop cruising."

The ads show shirtless men — some embracing — with the tagline "non-stop cruising."

There were 100 ads — 50 of each version — running in subway cars.

According to Nolan, one of the ads ran at Wellesley subway station — the closest stop to Toronto's gay village from June to September. It wasn't until it appeared in subway cars that they heard any complaints.

Pink Triangle Press

Squirt's website mentions cruising as a selling point:

Every city has its own hidden hotspots for cruising. On Squirt.org members list the hottest places to meet other men for sex. With user ratings and details on how to cruise each location, it's easy to find the best parks, beaches, gyms, washrooms, glory holes, and bathhouses in town.

Nolan said that while Squirt has cruising content, it's created by the users.

"The Squirt platform is for men to meet other men, the content on the site is user-driven. Some of that content is cruising content, but if you look at Yelp's website they also have cruising listings," said Nolan.

"I'm not sure whether the TTC would be removing an ad for Yelp."

News in Brief: Obama Scrambling Around White House Kitchen Before State Dinner

Love the pic.

WASHINGTON—Darting back and forth from refrigerator to sink to prep table while hurriedly preparing 350 hand-carved radish rosettes, a visibly agitated President Obama reported Friday that everything must be absolutely perfect for tonight’s state dinner in honor of Chinese president Xi Jinping. “I’ve got to have this duck confit ready for President Xi in just a few hours and I haven’t even finished applying the garlic rub yet,” Obama yelled from across the White House kitchen as he plated the prosciutto-stuffed mushroom appetizers before frantically dicing stalks of celery and sprinkling them over the green apple and walnut salad, and then tossing the peach cobblers into the oven. “Then we have poached salmon with Mousseline sauce for the third course and—my God, I forgot about the president’s seafood allergy!” At press time, a flustered Obama was using a piping bag to write the Chinese ...

Article: Billy Crystal Tearfully Admits He’s Never Seen, Been To A Yankees Game

NEW YORK—Admitting that he could simply no longer continue living a lie, veteran actor, comedian, and self-professed New York Yankees fanatic Billy Crystal tearfully confessed Thursday that he has never seen or attended a single Yankees game in his life, and indeed has absolutely no idea who or what the Yankees even are. “It just sounded good to talk about watching the Yankees and going to Yankee Stadium, but honestly I had no idea what any of that meant—I still have no clue what it means,” said a visibly emotional Crystal, adding that despite having never once witnessed the Yankees “do whatever it is they do,” he continued wearing Yankees caps in public and telling people that he loved the Yankees. “I heard the name ‘Mickey Mantle’ all the time, and people seemed to like him a lot, so I just started talking about him too.

News: Screen Actors Guild Develops Retraining Program For 30-Year-Old Actresses Aging Out Of Workforce

LOS ANGELES—In an effort to help open new doors for the many women struggling to readjust to life after performing, officials from the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists spoke to reporters Thursday about the union’s new job-training program for 30-year-old actresses who have aged out of the workforce.

SAG-AFTRA officials, who said the vast majority of female performers are not prepared for the hardships of losing acting work at the end of their 20s, described the wide variety of tools the new program utilizes—ranging from instructional seminars, to networking events, to hands-on workshops—to help transition women into positions in film production, distribution, and financing.

“As actresses enter their 30s, they suddenly find themselves without a job and nowhere to turn; we want to ensure that they have the skills to find meaningful employment elsewhere in the industry,” said SAG-AFTRA president Ken ...
