Tremors VI for real
VIETNAM—You might have seen the popular cult movie series Tremors thinking of it as science fiction.
Recently, however, Karapaia, a Japanese news agency, has posted a video of some kind of huge, slug-like creature dug up from the ground somewhere in Vietnam.
The video shows a crowd taking pictures and videos and watching as the creature is loaded onto a truck.
It is not reported whether or not Val and Earl killed the creature.
With Tremors V in the works, I have a sneaking suspicion where Tremors VI might be filmed.
We’re not in Perfection anymore.

Videos of Russian plane crash appearing on the Internet
KAZAN, RUSSIA–A Tartarstan Airlines plane crashed in the city of Kazan Russia about 450 miles east of Moscow. The crash killed all 44 passengers and six crew members on the flight.
The 23-year-old plane was attempting to make a second landing in a flight which started in Moscow and ended tragically at the airport in its home city of Kazan.
According to a report from Herald Sun in Australia
Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his “deep condolences to the relatives and loved ones of those who died in the plane crash at Kazan airport”, the Kremlin said in a statement.
“After receiving a report on the air crash, the head of state ordered the government to urgently form a commission to investigate the reasons and circumstances of what happened.”
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev wrote on Twitter: “With all my heart I grieve for the relatives, friends and loved ones of the victims. A terrible tragedy.”
The cause of the crash is being investigated.

The last original Navajo Code Talker awarded Audie Murphy award.
Chester Nez, the last of the original 29 Marine Navajo Code Talkers was given the Audie Murphy award on November 9. The risk of torture and death for these warriors was an everyday reality.
The Native Americans used the Navajo language to transmit coded messages concerning Japanese military operations.
“I was very proud to say that the Japanese did everything in their power to break that code but they never did,” Nez said in an interview with Stars and Stripes the day before the award ceremony.
The service of these brave men saved the lives of many Marines.
In politics, you better learn how to duck.
They are on television. Their figures and products are lined along Wal-Mart aisles. And now, they may be in your politics.
Although prominent Republican Eric Cantor backed fellow Neil Riser, a political novice by the name of Vance McAllister took the special election for the 5th Congressional district in Louisiana.
He told local KNOE TV that “Washington may not be ready for me.”
His endorsements? Probably his biggest endorsement came from the “Duck Dynasty” family. His endorsement came from former starting quarterback for the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Phil Robertson.
It is said that he kept Terry Bradshaw on the bench and now he did the same to McAllister’s political rival Neil Riser. With the word from Robertson, McAllister took 60% of the vote from his established political rival.
A handful of Washington GOP operatives tried to get one of the members of the Duck Dynasty family to run for the seat, but failed.
The seat became available for the special runoff election when former Rep. Rodney Alexander resigned on Sept. 26 to become secretary of the Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs under Republican Governor Bobby Jindal.

Sedona International Film Festival and Sedona Smart Meter Awareness offer free smart meter documentary viewing
Sedona International Film Festival and Sedona Smart Meter Awareness groups have teamed up to present a documentary on so-called smart meters.
The documentary, Take Back Your Power, written by Josh del Sol and Daryl Bennett and directed by Josh explores the spying capability built in to the smart meters. The film was released on September 5th.
Smart meters are already in place in Flagstaff, Williams and other northern Arizona cities. Most city and town councils vote to approve them without any idea of the Fourth Amendment violation these meters represent.
The viewing of the film is scheduled for this Monday, September 9th at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre in Sedona. The theater is located at 2030 W. Highway 89A in West Sedona.
The 4 pm and 7 pm showings are booked, so the groups added a special 1 pm showing. To reserve free tickets, you can call 928-282-1177
USDA Requires Magicians To Have “Disaster Plans” For Their Rabbits
To say that American businesses are over-regulated is a bit of an understatement. In very small print, the USDA spends 14 pages to spell out regulations specifically pertaining to rabbits and requirements that need to be met to keep one’s “rabbit license.”
A 1965 law required that labs obtain government licenses in order to use animals for testing purposes. But in 1970, that law was amended to include not just labs, but any entity that exhibits animals. Like zoos and circuses. But because the regulations written to enforce these laws are so vague and wordy like every other law and regulation we have, anything can be said to “exhibit” animals. Not just the big things like zoos.
Apparently, magicians who use rabbits as props for their tricks are not at all exempt. So, they too must obtain a license to “exhibit” their pet rabbits. And since they have to have the proper government license to do so, they must follow all the regs associated with maintaining that license. They have to pay $40 a year, give their animal regular vet care and submit to random house searches.
But now they’ve apparently got a new requirement needed in order for these magicians to hold on to their “rabbit licenses.” 54-year-old magician Marty Hahne knows about it, because he got a letter from the USDA asking him for a “disaster plan” for his rabbit, Casey. You know, like, “What does Marty the Magician plan on doing to make sure his rabbit is safe in case of a flood, a hurricane or an earthquake?” This is not a joke.
