Superstitions Collide: Full Moon Rises on Friday the 13th
The June full moon is nicknamed the "Strawberry Moon," a moniker that goes back to the Algonquin Native American tribe, according to the Farmer's Almanac. June is strawberry season, and the full moon would have traditionally coincided with the harvest.
The June full moon is frequently the one nearest to the summer solstice, which falls on June 21 this year. Because of a neat bit of galactic geometry, this means the full moon on Friday will be the lowest in the sky of any in 2014.
Here's how it works: The Earth rotates on a tilted axis; in June — summer in the Northern Hemisphere — the North Pole is tilted about 23.5 degrees toward the sun, while the South Pole is tilted 23.5 degrees away from the sun. On the solstice, the sun reaches its farthest point north of the equator.
Full moons happen when Earth's satellite is opposite the sun; that's why viewers on Earth see the entire face of the moon illuminated. Thus, when the full moon is directly opposite the sun when our host star appears at its highest point, the moon is at its lowest point with respect to the equator. That's why winter full moons rise higher above the horizon than summer full moons.

Former President Bill Clinton will "campaign" with Kentucky Democratic Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes starting next week. It should come as no surprise to anyone that Clinton is up for some hot "campaigning" with the daughter of his good friend, Jerry Lundergan. They've made movies about such fantasies...
According to the Louisville Courier-Journal, Clinton is planning a "fundraiser" on Tuesday night during which Lundergan Grimes will do her thing and get paid by many wealthy men...prices ranging from $500 to $5,200.

While looking for another story, this one caught my eye when I noticed the headline: Nebraska Catholic school 'praying' after former student masturbates with crucifix
A Catholic school in Nebraska says it is praying for a former student who returned to campus to take nude photos and masturbate with a crucifix.
Valerie Dodds, 19, told KETV that she started a nude photography business after graduating from Lincoln East High School. But she said some her classmates from her former school, St. Pius X High School, started "saying mean things and that's when I decided to go there and show them that I'm here to stay."
"Everyone at my high school had something rude to say to me when I started my website and so this is my tribute to all of you lol," Dodds writes on her website. "I held nothing back I used my fingers, my toys and even my crucifix in my pussy! I used every part of the school I could get into, payback is a bitch ha ha."
Wow. That's hysterical...
The KETV story refers to her "nude photograph business." By which they mean she started her own porn site. Why?
"It looked like something that I just kind of wanted to try, I guess."
When you watch the video of the news report you will see the scumbag who is largely responsible for this nonsense. He's been down this road before.
For the record, I'm not judging her at all. I'm actually a little surprised that I'm not more outraged by her method of "revenge" on the school. It's more of a sad feeling. I hate to think of what may have happened in her life that would make this seem like an attractive option.
I'm sure she feels empowered by what she's doing. And the truth is that there are some superficial, short-term benefits to the porn business. There's money to be made and some people just have a compulsion to exhibit themselves like this. Ultimately, however, the potential for self-destruction far outweighs the chances of this ending well for her. It could go either way. Time will tell.
In the meantime, she seems so happy and pleased with herself that it would be downright cruel to burst her bubble by letting her know that the school and the Church will be just fine. Hopefully she will be as well.
