Horror Films made by or starring Latinos are muy especial for anyone wishing to celebrate Dia De Los Muertos or Halloween. This is a timespan which is acknowledged internationally in many cultures as a multi-day holiday that focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember those who have died and help support their spiritual journey from 10/31-11/2.

In this remake of the 1941 classic, Benicio Del Toro plays a bad hombre who is searching for his missing brother and is bitten by a werewolf terrorizing the town.

Respect Restraint

Submitted by ub on

Restraint is the act of self-control, which is not only a virtue but a blessing during these trying and hate-filled times that we have been exposed to.

On this Sunday, let's listen to and talk about a monk. Thelonious Monk was an artist who made restraint the beauty that we don't see but must always be on the lookout look for.

City Island Boondoggle?

Submitted by ub on

Two years ago, NYC DOT opened a temporary bridge to serve as a connector to and from City Island. As work began to replace we wondered if the long-standing permanent bridge would actually be replaced with a new, state of the art structure? Can today's ceremony of the new City Island Bridge be the calm before the storm? Could this also happen here? https://youtu.be/cH3Cz6g2Gz4

Besides watching and waiting for another shoe, or two to drop in the political arena, it's the most wonderful time of the year for sports fans. This weekend offers The World Series, key NFL, and College Football showdowns.

The LA Dodgers face a task this evening in the World Series of baseball and a tough place for opponents to win.

Also, a game where No. 6-ranked Ohio State hosts No. 2 Penn State. Then, on Sunday, the NFL reaches its Week 8 Midway. Which teams might emerge victoriously?

Long-standing news rules require that journalists wait for two separate sources, but Reuters and CNN are now reporting that charges have been approved in the Robert Mueller Russia investigation.

These reports state that first charges have been filed in the Russia probe with arrests expected, but it is not yet known who is charged?

Don't Be Rushing US

What is the reason for the Trump administration's tiny steps toward imposing sanctions targeting Moscow under a new US law by sending Congress a list of entities linked to the defense and intelligence arms of the Russian government?

It is the world’s largest nation, and perhaps POTUS has a vision many Americans have yet to see, like the fact that Russian borders European and Asian countries as well as the Pacific and Arctic oceans. Its landscape ranges from tundra and forests to subtropical beaches.

POTUS35 John F Kennedy was President of the United States from January 1961 until his shocking and mysterious assassination in November 1963. Was it Cubans, Russians, or something more sinister?

A Tangled Web

O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive! I know, there is a typo here and the phrase can be considered grammatically incorrect, but it was penned this way by Walter Scott - Author of Ivanhoe.

When anyone tries to deceive another, by lying or making up stories, they will make a mess of the deception. Once you tell a lie, then you will have to make up more lies to support the first lie, and then, even more, lies to support the other lies, and in the end, you have a messy situation.

Stop the Presses

Anybody who tells you they know what the news business will look like years from now is either lying or delusional. Newsweek, once one the world's largest and best known publications, dropped the print side of the business to online.

But what was supposed to be a decisive step into the 21st Century turned into a cautionary tale. The popular wisdom that online is the future hasn't been realized. It's just some business models don't work anymore. Now the bane of modern newspapers has become aggregator sites like The Huffington Post, which make money from other people's content. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/

And once everything has been made free it is very hard to turn back the tide. There is a serious danger with free content and content aggregation sites like Dose Of News #DONews which have changed how people interact with content.

Digital companies like Buzzfeed Can You Name 100 Countries In Seven Minutes? https://www.buzzfeed.com/robinedds/can-you-name-100-countries-in-seven-…
think they've found the future in their social news revolution.
