Make The Reading Viaduct Park A Reality

Philadelphia has a great opportunity to add 300,000 square feet of new green space to the city’s already impressive network of parks. It’s known as the Reading Viaduct and it would improve our quality of life and add new opportunities for outdoor activities for all of the city’s residents and visitors.

Email Mayor Nutter and City Council and ask them to make this new park a reality in 2012.

Weds Sep 7 - To raise funds and awareness for PAWS and help adoptable pets find new homes,

Brazen Boxing & MMA Gym will host an evening of mixed martial arts and boxing exhibitions, along with food, drinks, and adoptable pets.  

If you think people are generally too nice, that the world is too good, or that you have the balls to be truly horrible, then don’t wait! Make a mobile device happy. Buy something horrible.

Geared towards the B-boy world and the consumption of old school classics.

A classic Breaker making music to break to.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled a new Apple product, iCloud, that underscores a major shift taking place in the tech world as users' information moves from gadgets to the cloud, where it is stored on remote servers and accessible from any device with an Internet connection.

"We're going to demote the PC and the Mac to just be a device," said Jobs, according to a live blog of his remarks at the Worldwide Developers Conference keynote. "We're going to move the digital hub, the center of your digital life, into the cloud."

 

WASHINGTON -- Former Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) violated campaign finance laws and conspired against lobbying laws while he was in office,

leaders of the Senate Ethics Committee said on the floor of the upper chamber Thursday.

Here’s the takeaway for Wednesday night’s launch of the 10th annual Tribeca Film Festival:

The movie wasn’t very good and everyone had a great time. 

For Tribeca, that’s a sensible oxymoron.

 

A Sam Cooke biopic has taken a significant step toward becoming a reality;

The screenwriters behind the all-Beatles musical Across the Universe have finished their adaptation of Peter Guralnick's definitive biography of Sam Cooke for ABKCO,

which owns Cooke's publishing and the bulk of his master recordings.

 The difference in densities... just as with the differences in densities in air currents of our atmosphere creating hurricanes, is what generates space-time torquing matter/energy, and spinning it into the observed topology of a galactic disc with its galactic halos and galactic polar jets.

Peter Gorman will be appearing at the 4th Annual Ayahuasca Monologues in New York on Tuesday, Nov. 30.

His new book Ayahuasca in My Blood: 25 Years of Medicine Dreaming, is brewed with an enchanting lucidity. To read it is to drink down a story, a whirlwind, a wild fire of spirits and curanderos, pirates and teachers, frogs and vines, snakes and shamanism, plants and visions woven across the arc of a quarter century's worth of heavyweight Amazonian, Texan and New York City adventures. 

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP)—Paul the Octopus, the tentacled tipster who fascinated soccer fans by predicting results at the World Cup, died Tuesday.

Paul had reached the octopus old age of 2 1/2 years and died in his tank on Tuesday morning at the Sea Life aquarium in the western German city of Oberhausen, spokeswoman Ariane Vieregge said.

The octopus seemed to be in good shape when he was checked late Monday, but he did not make it through the night. He died of natural causes, Vieregge said.

Cleese's idea is that we must create a sort of "tortoise enclosure," an atmosphere that is safe and free from the threat of interruption.

Play happens when there are clear boundaries from ordinary life. 

For introspection and for insight, we need to slow our busy minds. Often this means getting off the grid completely, if even only for a short period.

"The Kids in the Hall: Death Comes to Town," a four-hour miniseries on IFC. The first pair of half-hour episodes airs tomorrow.

All five "Kids" - Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch , Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney and Scott Thompson - star in this twisted murder mystery, tackling all the major roles (male and, in masterful drag, female, too). The tale, set in bucolic but bizarre Shuckton, Ontario, begins with the arrival of the Grim Reaper on a Greyhound bus, followed by a murder that leaves nearly everyone in the community a possible suspect.

 

WELLINGTON, New Zealand – A crate of Scotch whisky that was trapped in Antarctic ice for a century was finally opened Friday — but the heritage dram won't be tasted by whisky lovers because it's being preserved for its historical significance.

Nonsense!  Luckily, we have a pirate up there who snagged us a bottle..

A middle-school science teacher and a hot sauce mogul vie for the Guinness World Record on the arcade classic, Donkey Kong.

Greatness!  " Don't get Chumpatized!"  -What????

 

 

Wyclef for President of Haiti?  Wy-not?

Half the polpulation of 9 million is under the age of 25.  Looking pretty good for Fugee.

Easter Island eclipse July 11th 2010

Explanation: Makemake, a god in Easter Island mythology, may have smiled for a moment as clouds parted long enough to reveal this glimpse of July 11's total solar eclipse to skygazers. In the foreground of the dramatic scene, the island's famous large, monolithic statues (Moai) share a beachside view of the shimmering solar corona and the darkened daytime sky. Other opportunities to see the total phase of this eclipse of the Sun were also hard to come by. Defined by the dark part of the Moon's shadow, the path of totality tracked eastward across the southern Pacific Ocean, only making significant landfall at Mangaia (Cook Islands) and Easter Island (Isla de Pascua), ending shortly after reaching southern Chile and Argentina. But a partial eclipse phase could be enjoyed over a broader region, including many southern Pacific islands and wide swath of South America.
