Surf W/George Bush- Hunter Thompson Party!
WHEN GEOGE BUSH AND HUNTER THOMPSON PARTIED TOGETHER, DITA, HOW TO DEAL WITH CATASTROPHES!
Why do people overcommit? If your appointment book runneth over, it could mean one of two things: Either you are enviably popular or you make the same faulty assumptions about the future as everyone else. Psychological research points to the latter explanation. Research by two business-school professors reveals that people over-commit because we expect to have more time in the future than we have in the present. Of course, when tomorrow turns into today, we discover that we are too busy to do everything we promised. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/02/050211084233.htm

The man who said "you have to know the material you're writing about before you alter it" wrote classics for the counterculture generation. How accurately did Hunter S Thompson capture the distortions and reflections of the American dream? How influential was he? Send us your views and tributes. A great idea being done by the BBC.
There are far worse things we face than terror attacks. And Judge Posner is trying to get us to understand and deal with them. A truly remarkable new way of dealing with the unthinkable.
Catastrophes, whether natural or man-made, that could destroy the human race are often dismissed as alarmist or fanciful, the stuff of science fiction. In fact the risk of such disasters is real, and growing. A collision with an asteroid that might kill a quarter of humanity in 24 hours and the rest soon after; irreversible global warming that might flip, precipitating "snowball earth;" voraciously replicating nanomachines; a catastrophic accident in a particle accelerator that might reduce the earth to a hyperdense sphere 100 meters across; a pandemic of gene-spliced smallpox launched by bioterrorists; even conquest by superintelligent robots-all these potential extinction events, and others, are within the realm of the possible and warrant serious thought about assessment and prevention. They are attracting the concern of reputable scientists-but not of the general public or the nation's policymakers.

HUNTER THOMPSON SUICIDE, WHERE ARE THE GIRL BANDS?, JAPANESE VENDING MACHINES, HONG KONG COMIC BOOK COVERS, SINGING CONDOMS!
Most of us have experienced deja vu at least once in our lives - that uncomfortable feeling that you have been here in this place, in this situation before. There have been attempts at clearing up the phenomenon, which some people see as evidence for metempsychosis - the belief that after death the soul passes to another body, whether human or animal. One point of departure for researchers has been that a deja vu experience is linked to an experience in a dream that has been half or totally forgotten. http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=14&click_id=117&art_id=qw1108355223840B212

TV HORROR HOSTS, JERRY BROWN BLOG, SAND SCULPTURE, P.T. BARNUM'S MUSEUM, ALL GIRL JAPANESE PUNK BANDS!
"A by-product of all these horror film offerings was the invention of a spooky TV horror show host who visited our living rooms around the Witching Hour on Friday and Saturday nights dressed in all sorts of creepy costumes (monsters, hunchbacks, witches, vampires, werewolves and mad scientists.) Their job was to encourage viewers to come back week after week to watch scary movies and hopefully in doing so raise some advertising revenue from local merchants who chose to sponsor the shows." With bios of the hosts.
Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown served as Governor of California from 1974-1982. He also ran for president a couple of times. He blogs.

The Lost Museum is my favorite museum right now, even though it doesn't really exist. It's an amazing Flash-based recreation of PT Barnum's American Museum, lost to fire in 1865. Barnum's Museum was a tour-de-force of oddities, curiosities, and humbuggery:
 P.T. Barnum's American Museum, located from 1841 to 1865 at the corner of Broadway and Ann Street in lower Manhattan, has been long recognized by historians as a pivotal institution in the development of nineteenth-century urban culture. For a twenty-five cent admission, visitors viewed an ever-revolving series of "attractions," from the patchwork Fejee Mermaid to the diminutive and articulate Tom Thumb. But the Museum also promoted educational ends, including natural history in its menageries, aquaria, and taxidermy exhibits; history in its paintings, wax figures, and memorabilia; and temperance reform and Shakespearean dramas in its "Lecture Room" or theater. Foreshadowing trends in American commercial amusement, the Museum was the first institution to combine sensational entertainment and gaudy display with instruction and moral uplift.
The virtual reconstruction contains such gems as a complete scan of an 1850 guidebook to the American Museum, articles from the period about attractions like the FeJee Mermaid, and background on the eccentric characters in Barnum's living "collection."

The alchemical information about cannabis use was reintroduced into Europe after the Dark Ages, when the Knights Templar, founded by Hugh de Payns (“of the Pagans”) around the beginning of the twelfth century, became involved in a trade of goods and knowledge with the hashish ingesting Isma’ilis. This knowledge was passed on from Eastern adepts and handed down esoterically through the medieval alchemists, Rosicrucians[1] and later on to the most influential occultists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. http://www.alchemylab.com/cannabis_stone1.htm

With lyrics like "a horse's ass is better than yours" and "shut up and eat," Yuka Honda and Miho Hatori made a splash in the early '90s as Cibo Matto. Sex- and food-obsessed, the duo gained critical acclaim for their fusion of pop, jazz, funk, punk, and hip-hop. After two albums, Honda and Hatori went their separate ways; Hatori recorded two EPs of Brazilian covers with former Beck guitarist Smokey Hormel, while Honda released two highly praised solo albums.
With her latest LP, Eucademix, Honda has fine-tuned her cut-and-paste technique: disjointed beats and multi-layered effects make Eucademix playful, haunting and beautiful. Here, she comes clean with Nerve about taming dragons and sexual gray areas. — Nic Sheff

It was more than eight years ago in Indiana that Andre Johnson raped and confined a woman, the first of two sexual assaults for which he would go to prison.
On Monday, the victim found herself confronted by her attacker again -- this time at a Target at Roosevelt and Canal in Chicago, where Johnson was working as a security guard.
The woman, who is a representative of a greeting card company, continued with her business, said a police source. But Johnson approached the woman, repeatedly demanding to know her name, police said. When she refused, Johnson allegedly followed her out to her car, again demanding her name and then taking down her license plate. http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-guard16.html

radio personality, odd guest interviewer, who is trying to get his
Christian fundamentalist folks into survivalist in a big hurry before
the shit hits the fan. That said, he has a big interest in giant
sized people. He happens to believe that giants are the offspring of
the biblical Nephilim which he thinks are fallen satanic angles.
Hence people like my great uncle who was a giant, (and perhaps even
me) he believes are descended from some fallen satanic angel.
Well regardless of his weird beliefs he has acquired quite an on-line
collection of photos of giants, dwarfs, and weirdly misshapen skulls.
His most extreme ideas about giants are fantasies and the giant femur
that is he has a picture of I am nearly certain was made of plaster
by the creationist museum in Texas. However the rest of his pictures
of giants are real enough."

It's been called the "missing link" in Neil Young's album catalog.
Neil Young's 1973 Time Fades Away is one of the most remarkable live albums ever recorded.
Certainly at the time of release, it was almost unprecedented for an artist to release a live concert recording of previously unreleased material. Long out of print on vinyl, still unavailable on CD in the early 21st century and widely bootlegged, the album is considered to be the "Holy Grail" of all Neil Young albums.
In an effort to gain wider distribution of this essential Neil Young recording, fans have started a petition requesting that the album be officially released. Those interested in obtaining a legal copy of Time Fades Away are urged to sign the petition today.
Artwork, photos, MP3 song file of "Love in Mind", and the story behind the making of the album.

It was a daring concept for an uncertain time; a weekly series of original movies produced especially for television. But this expensive gamble delivered top-ten ratings for several years beginning in 1969.
The films themselves varied wildly in quality, but the promos used to lure audiences to the couch stand today as state of the art examples of superlative advertising. In addition, the animated opening sequence to the ABC Movie of the Week was a magnificent graphic achievement and a precursor to modern computer animation techniques.

The Movie Actress Scientist: Hedy Lamarr married Fritz Mandal, the first of six husbands, in 1933. During their marriage, which broke up in 1937, Madame Mandl was an institution in Viennese society, entertaining—and dazzling—foreign leaders, including Hitler and Mussolini. Her husband specialized in shells and grenades, but from the mid-thirties on he also manufactured military aircraft. He was interested in control systems and conducted research in the field. His wife clearly learned things from him, because she and her co-inventor, George Antheil, later went on to invent the torpedo guidance system that was two decades before its time.

Since 1977, Pike County has been celebrating Hillbilly Days. This nationally known annual event is a fundraiser to benefit the Shriner's Children's Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky. Held in Downtown Pikeville, April 15 - 17, this is one festival you've got to see to believe!
Started by Howard "Dirty Ear" Stratton and " Shady" Grady Kinney, two Shriners with the Hillbilly Clan Outhouse No. 2 in Pikeville, The festival is attended by over 100,000 folks and continues to get bigger and better each year. Mr. Stratton says that for about as long as he can remember both he and Mr. Kinney wanted a festival in Pike County. They got the idea for Hillbilly Days in 1976 while going to another festival in Portsmouth, Ohio, and upon returning they started their work. In 1977 they got all Hillbilly Clans together in one place, Pike County, Kentucky. Mr. Kinney has unfortunately passed, but his memory lives on in every hillbilly heart. A monument honoring Mr. Kinney has been placed in the Pikeville City Park.

Ironically, as an adult trying to succeed in show business, Eartha Kitt found that most of the available roles went to caucasian actresses.
