New Clip and Screen Captures
Back in December of 2003 I spent a day on a Discovery Channel production entitled, Blueprint for Disaster: Kings Cross. The documentary type show outlined the horrific effents of November 1987, in which a fire at the London Underground's King's Cross Station killed 31 people in only a few seconds; investigators spent months trying to explain the fire's unusual pattern, which they determine was started by a smoker's match. I played a commuter and I finally managed to grab a few screen caps.
Here is also a clip from the episode, uploaded to Rapidshare.

The Singing Chef Passes Away
Chef Pasquale Carpino
From Pulse24.com
He cooked wonderful dishes for television audiences everywhere, and if that wasn’t enough, he sang his way through all of it beautifully.
Pasquale Carpino, also known as the Singing Chef, passed away last week at the age of 69. Carpino, who was the host of one of the longest-running cooking shows on television, died on Dec. 30 of complications from surgery.
Carpino dazzled audiences with his wide array of dishes and ability to turn seemingly paltry ingredients into splendid cuisine. But what really endeared him to the masses was his beautiful voice and huge love of opera.
story
I remember every time when "Cooking With Chef Pasquale" came on my dad would do his rendition of an Italian opera. The Chef wasn't the only one who served up great meatballs.

Rune Reading For The Week Of January 2, 2006-January 8, 2006
Introduction to Rune Readings
Rune readings are arrangements of the 24 runes (letters) of the old Futhark alphabet. The layout of the runes is known as a spread, and determines what each rune refers to. For example, in the Three Norns spread, the first rune represents the past, the second the present, and the third the future.
Sets: In addition to each rune having a meaning, the material in which the runes are carved can color the reading. Most people consistently use runes made of ceramic, stone, or wood. In order to broaden your experience, we offer readings with Gold Runes (for questions about business, career, and property), Jade Runes (for questions about love, friendship, and relationships), Ice Runes (for questions about struggle, conflict, and achievement), Spirit Runes (for questions about mysticism, spirituality, and religion), and Stone Runes (for questions about the natural world and things beyond human control).
The question will remain the same: "Will this week be a successful one?"
Rune Alphabet
Spread:Cross(in order of reading)
The Cross spread is used to plot the arc of your life and the forces acting on it. It is the most popular spread, giving a very complete view of the situation. Ice Runes are most commonly used for questions about struggle, conflict, and achievement.
Here is the Reading Using the Ice Set.
1.
The left rune represents an important element of the past. Berkana, the birch tree, is representative of rebirth, fertility, and a positive outcome to ventures undertaken. It is also the rune of families. Here the rune is reversed, warning you to be heedful of new beginnings, lest they sour. Rebirth is either delayed, or totally disrupted. There is also a warning of family troubles.
2.
The middle rune represents a deciding element of the present. Hagalaz is the rune of hail. Hail is a destructive and elemental force, so one can expect this rune to represent the disruption of one's life. In the harsh northern winter there is a halt to activity, and so delay or hindrance is frequently associated with this rune. The opposite of chaos is yet more chaos, as illustrated by the fact that this rune cannot be reversed.
3.
The right rune represents the critical element of the future, at the core of the final outcome. Wunjo is the rune of joy. The reversal of this rune suggests that joy is withheld. Since joy is frequently communal, this rune often suggests loneliness. Alternatively, some have seen Wunjo as the rune of perfection and the rune of the gods. Therefore this rune reversed could signal a feeling of separation from one's deity, or as imperfection in an important work.
4.
The top rune represents a force that works for you. Man refers to Mankind and your interaction with the whole of human population. This rune is reversed, suggesting a separation from your fellow man. There is a lack of harmony in your interaction with others, either because you do not accept society or society does not accept you. Alternatively, this rune may also represent your separation from nature, and your ability to rise above the base level of being. As the rune is reversed, this may suggest an incomplete level of spiritual attainment or an intellectual block.
5.
The bottom Rune represents a force that works against you. Eoh refers to the Yew tree. The Yew does not go dormant and therefore represents endurance. Even the wood of the tree is strong, resilient, and pliable - the Yew bends, but does not break. The evergreen nature of the Yew is present even in the rune itself, as it cannot be changed even by reversal. This rune is historically symbolic of death, but, as in the Tarot and as suggested by the nature of the Yew tree itself, death is seen only as a transmutation of something eternal and unchanging - the spirit.
If you are further interested in Rune stones, please check out a script I wrote about three years ago. The story tells of a women's chance encounter with the towns rune reader and physcic. Her reading leads to a terrible discovery about her ex-husband.Click here to read 'Evil Of A Different Kind'

Hilarious House of Frightenstein
In a previos I wrote about the great work of Vincent Price. One of his many gems was from 1971 Canadaian Tevelvision.
In 1971 Price starred as the Narrator on the wacky Canadian TV series "Hilarious House of Frightenstein". What can be said about a great locally produced kids show that was on in mornings? I remember always getting up in the morning to watch the show before going to school. All of us who were kids in the 70's from Southern Ontario miss this classic. The show that had all hilarious characters mainly played by Billy Van. The Wolfman was the best with is "Chime Time" and then throwing a golf ball at a clock to tell what time it was. Then watching Igor dance with him with psychedelic visuals behind them to some 60's rock. Or Aaron the ape getting nailed with a golf ball and falling over. I hope it isn't true but I heard that an ex- station manager of what ever network ownes the rights hated the show or something and burned all the masters. I hope this isn't true and Global TV, which ownes CHCH TV here in Hamilton where the show was produced, gets a hold of the rights, because I can still remember Vincent Price's words at the end."The castle lights are growing dim, there's no one left but me and him. When next we meet in Frankenstone, Don't come alone"
To update this post, today was the first weekly episode of this classic show to be aired on Canada's Drive-In Channel. Here are a ton of screen captures from todays episode. This show hasn't been on the aire in at least twenty years. To those outside of Canada and some American states who have no clue what I'm talking about, trust me and pick up the few episodes that where put out on DVD in the U.S only.
