Just when you thought she couldn't get any cuter!
Tardar Sauce, possibly the grumpiest-looking cat the Internet has ever known, became an online sensation this year thanks to a series of YouTube videos documenting her exploits, as well as an outpouring of Tard-inspired memes. Then came news that the Snowshoe Siamese kitten has a brother, Pokey.

The wait continues, each passing day bringing a bit more anticipation and wonder. We have December 12 to go through first. A day of final adjustments in preparation for 12-21-12. It is such an amazing time to be alive to witness everything unfolding. The downfall of the oppressive governments throughout the world, the raising of the human collective consciousness, the revealing of truths long-buried, free energy coming. It saddens me to think of those living in mortal fear about all of this, those unable to embrace the awe of what is taking place and feel gratitude for being present to be a part of what is going on. I have said before I am certain there was a long line of souls wishing to be chosen to come to earth at this time, but space was limited and many were let down. Even more reason we should feel gratitude for having been chosen for this mission to bring the light back into the darkness. Everyday is awe filled for me, everyday I can feel the excitement increase and I am so thankful for being a part of this unfolding. I hope you all can feel the same within your hearts.
Today is about pretending. We need to look through the surface of things before making any important moves or decisions today. People will tend to pretend to be something that they are not, pretending to be more than they are, pretending to be in control, and pretending to know more than they do. But this isn't necessarily all bad because sometimes emulation leads to actualization. Sometimes we have to project something before we can integrate it. The thing to be aware of here is that the potential for deception is higher today. Let's turn this energy around and come from the angle of using the power of make-believe - the power of imagination - to envision or create something new. Venus meets up with the North Node today, bringing alll kinds of beautiful people, places, and things to us. If there ever was a day to be in a magical land, today is it. Enjoy but don't be fooled!
Today is the first day in the rest of your life, as someone once said, and that is so true. For now, you will pass into the mouth of that energetic vortex that is spinning ever faster just in front of you. For today is 11.12.12 or 12.11.12 if you will, the day before 12.12.12. So get ready dear ones, you are about to enter the wringer in more ways than one. Of course, this is a jestful way to talk about what for so many will be the pivotal point of their life, or rather lives, here. But we do so in order to remind you all that this is a day for rejoicing and for taking stock of just how far you have come. For your footsteps linger still, and they cover much ground, and for that, you need to give yourselves all the credit you deserve. For you have indeed come a long way. Far, far longer than you mayhaps can even envisage, and we say this today in order to make you all take a pause and connect with your past in some way. For your past is what has brought you here, and your past is what has made your future possible. For tomorrow, your future will begin in earnest, so today, give yourself some applause for what you have managed to accomplish in your sojourn here on this planet.

According to a disturbing new report, the world's oldest and largest trees may be dying off -- and fast.
The study determined that trees between 100 and 300 years old are perishing "en masse" because of a deadly combination of large destructive events like forest fires, and other, more incremental factors like drought, high temperatures, logging and insect attack. The steady increase in threats means old trees are dying at 10 times their normal rate, researchers concluded. Their study appears in the Dec. 7 issue of the journal Science.

Since Saturday night, widespread fog has covered large parts of the Washington, D.C. metro region. The explanation is pretty simple: the ground has been relatively cold compared to the air trying to sneak in from the south.
We’ve had a prolonged episode of what’s known as “advection fog”. It’s caused by “the horizontal movement of warm moist air over a cold surface” says the National Weather Service. Note: advection sounds like a fancy word, but it really just means moving air.
