La Verrière is a  commune  in the  Yvelines   department  in the  Île-de-France  in north-central  France . "La Verrière" means "The Canopy." A baby died when a family of 12 leapt from their second floor balcony in Paris claiming they were fleeing the devil. Eight more were injured, some seriously, in the tragedy when they jumped 20ft into a car park in Paris suburb of La Verriere. The baffling incident occurred when a wife woke to see her husband moving about naked in the room, police said. She began screaming 'it's the devil! it's the devil!', and the man ran into the other room where 11 others adults and children were watching television. One woman grabbed a knife and stabbed the man before others pushed him out through the front door. When the man forced his way back in, they all began screamed in terror and leapt from the balcony screaming 'Jesus! Jesus!' The naked man also leapt from the balcony, detectives said. A four-month old baby d

The name "Bell" is one that often is found in twilight language material. Add in a clown, and this is worthy of our attention.  There is news today from Bell, California. An activist who often criticizes government officials while wearing a clown suit could get life in prison for allegedly threatening the Bell city clerk, reports KABC and the Los Angeles Times .  Edwin Thomas Snell is accused of making threats at a recent Bell City Council meeting. Because he has two previous felony convictions, a judge could give the so-called "Clown-suit Activist" life in prison under California's "three-strikes" law. Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said a Bell City Council member, whom he did not name, said Snell made threats directed at a staff member during a recent council meeting. Prosecutors said the threat was directed at Bell city clerk Rebecca Valdez. A spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney's office said Snell would be arraigned

  Frank Frazetta's Mothman.   Yes, I am going to be so bold as to predict that an earthquake, large enough for people to feel, is going to hit Los Angeles very soon. You decide what "very soon" means. This weekend, this coming month, in the next, well, thirteen months? Everything is relative, but something big seems to be in the future of the area.    “The Curse Continues” © Charles Berlin, drawn exclusively for Loren Coleman.   All the indicators are there: Mothman-like sightings, UFO encounters, swarms of Gulf of California quakes, animal attacks (such as the mountain goat killing of the hiker), pet disappearances, and moody people (like a mother stabbing twins). I would not doubt that car chases are on the increase too.   We certainly know from research that changes in animal behavior and the appearance of earthquake lights are predictors of earthquakes. Could there be more bizarre precusors? You name it and SoCal seems to be generating lots of strange indications of

Ponder this. An individual or individuals took aim at objects related to two geometric shapes ~ a triangle and a pentagon, on Sunday and Tuesday of this week. Shots were fired at the Pentagon early Tuesday (October 19, 2010), striking a window of the building.  Pentagon police spokesman Chris Layman said it's not known who fired the shots. Pentagon police officers heard at least five shots around 4:50 a.m., Layman added. According to another Pentagon Force Protection Agency spokesman, Terry Sutherland, two bullets hit the Pentagon on the south side of the building -- one striking a window and the other hitting the building itself. This is an unoccupied part of the building that is being renovated. Sutherland said a fragment of one of the bullets is lodged in the window. The windows, which are bullet-proof, did not shatter. There was a partial lockdown of the Pentagon's south parking lot and south entrance for about an hour after the shooting, and authorities briefly shut down a

Alexa Meade Innovative Live Painter Alexa Meade, a 23 year old Washington, DC based artist has a special talent. Where most painters make their paintings and other artistic work lively by trying to imitate a 2-D canvas into 3-D, Alexa on the other hand makes live paintings on 3-D objects and with the use of photography converts them to canvas oil painting, thus imitating life in life. Alexa has innovated this new painting technique called Trompe-L’Oeil that compresses three-dimensional space into a two-dimensional plane. Her work requires a fusion of painting, photography and performance by the artists. In her approach towards creating this lively painting, Alexa coats her models with a mask of paint, that hides the body but at the same time makes it more artistically live. The models are then camouflaged with a similar looking environment and objects. Together they give the impression of a raw 3-D oil painting, which is so clicked that it looks 2-D. The photographic presentati

Apple Inc is set to launch a new 11.6-inch MacBook Air, an Intel Core i-series ultra-low voltage processor and a new iPod Touch in the second half of 2010. The new generation of devices will be manufactured by Quanta Computer, according to a senior analyst at Digitimes Research. The 11.6-inch MacBook Air will feature “an even slimmer and lighter design than the previous-generation models.” * Smaller form factor. Particularly, it will become an 11.6 incher coming from the smallest macbook yet which is 13.3 inch. * It will use an SSD card instead of the conventional hard-drisk drive (HDD). This was said to be the secret ingredient to make the form factor of the new macbook smaller. * Since it used an SSD card, its rebooting time will be faster; comparable to Apple’s handheld units (e.g: iPod, iPhone and iPad) * It may use another type of processor rather than the usual Intel brand. The leak suggests Apple may do a partnership with AMD to launch a newly customized processor for this devic
