Mars vs. Venosa

mars

Who does Mars better?  I think Venosa inspired the planet ;)This image of layered deposits on a plateau in the Valles Marineris region of Mars was taken in 2007 by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The image shows about three-fourths of a mile across. Scientists think the layers contain opaline silica and iron sulfates formed through alteration by acidic water.

tuna

TOKYO - A giant bluefin tuna fetched 16.3 million yen ($177,000) in an auction Tuesday at the world's largest wholesale fish market in Japan.

The 513-pound (233-kilogram) fish was the priciest since 2001 when a 440-pound (200 kilogram) tuna sold for a record 20.2 million yen ($220,000) at Tokyo's Tsukiji market.

The Illustrated Man

Philadelphia - New LED tattoos from the University of Pennsylvania could make the Illustrated Man real (minus the creepy stories, of course).

Researchers there are developing silicon-and-silk implantable devices which sit under the skin like a tattoo.

Already implanted into mice, these tattoos could carry LEDs, turning your skin into a screen.

A Rod to reminisce with estranged grandchildren

"I can see it now: I'll visit my grandkids every year and a half or so, remind them that I am actually their grandfather, and if it's not too awkward, I'll sit them on my lap," Rodriguez said during a postgame press conference, adding that he'll probably have grandchildren he barely knows scattered throughout the country.

Then I'll tell them about how I once knocked an 0-2 Brian Fuentes pitch over the right-field wall during the ALCS."

Added Rodriguez, "While I'm doing this I'll make sure my 23-year-old girlfriend waits in the car."

Early Shower for Manny

Phila - If you want to know what Jimmy Rollins's walk-off double looked like from the Dodgers’ bench, don’t ask Manny Ramirez for his vantage point.

"Actually, I was in the shower," Ramirez said. “I only saw the highlight.”

RIP Les Paul

Toying with his mother’s old Victrola had shown him that changing the speed of a recording could alter both pitch and timbre. He could record at half-speed and replay the results at normal speed, creating the illusion of superhuman agility. He altered instrumental textures through microphone positioning and reverberation. Technology and studio effects, he realized, were instruments themselves.

Genius.

Utley Feels Teammates Like Lee More Than Him

PHILADELPHIA—Despite having been with the team for more than six years, visibly upset Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Chase Utley told reporters Monday that he can sense his teammates prefer the company of recent acquisition Cliff Lee to his own. "I really don't get it with these guys. I really don't," Utley said while first baseman Ryan Howard showed Lee around the clubhouse. "You see that? Ryan never puts his arm around me. Never. It's been five fucking years. He should be wanting me to put my arm around him." According to Phillies sources, when Utley approached his teammates and asked what more he needed to do, shortstop Jimmy Rollins said that "this," referring to Utley's approach and demeanor, "is definitely part of the problem."

julia

Little Berlin is proud to present the second in our series of celebrity birthday parties.
This time we honor the one and only Julia Child with a bountiful harvest of music, food and drink.

What better way to spend a lazy August Saturday evening, than chillin in our courtyard listening to music?

Performances by: Niagara Falls http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niagara_Falls_(band)

and Blood Like Mine, a new group consisting of Rosali Middleman and Brother Buckroar.

There will also be an experimental performance by Sam Cusamano as well as the traditional old-school
birthday song sing-along!

Little Berlin collective members will provide a complimentary selection of dishes base on Julia Child's recipes  with something for vegetarians and omnivores alike.

We are also excited to announce a first-time "bottomless" cup of either wine or beer, which will be available for
a $10 donation, as a summer fundraiser for the gallery space. (thanks to Philadelphia Brewing Company for your support)
