A man who waved a plastic flower in a police officer's face has been fined £500 at Londonderry Magistrates Court. The court heard that Neil Brian Devine, 20, from Beechwood Street in the city, waved the flower at police in an "aggressive manner" in November 2006. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/northern_ireland/7373737.stm
Stan Lee is an ageless wonder. At 85, he's busier than most guys half his age, and his mind is as sharp as ever, too, still cranking out ideas for comic books and films, and still capable of recounting stories about his remarkable career. SCI FI Weekly recently caught up with Lee in advance of the May 2 release of Iron Man, the latest would-be blockbuster based on one of his comic-book creations. In this wide-ranging conversation, Lee talks about being an action figure, contemplates the differences between a good comic book and a good film, discusses his cameo appearances in Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk and reveals that he doesn't plan to retire anytime soon.

Doon Hill and the Old Kirk in Aberfoyle, will forever be associated with the Reverend Robert Kirk, who wrote the Secret Commonwealth in 1691. The book is an essay on the nature and social structure of supernatural beings or fairies. Robert was a seventh son, said to have been gifted with second sight. In tradition he did not die but entered into the fairy realm through the local fairy hill. From Surfer Richard Crowe.

The Dutch cabinet has proposed a ban on the sale of all hallucinogenic "magic" mushrooms because they could induce life-threatening behaviour.
In recent years the Netherlands has looked to shed its "anything goes" image and has tightened laws on drug use and prostitution. "If they succeed with this mushroom ban then I am sure they will try to ban things like cannabis as well. This is part of a wider trend," said Freddy Schaap of the VLOS.

The Hell Fire Club was the legendary public sex club years ago. Now it's a travel destination, and you can bring the kids! From Surfer Richard Crowe! Read more about the original club next link! http://www.hellfirecaves.co.uk/
The Hell Fire Club! The club motto was Fait ce que vouldras (Do what thou wilt) from François Rabelais, later used by Aleister Crowley. According to Horace Walpole, the members' "practice was rigorously pagan: Bacchus and Venus were the deities to whom they almost publicly sacrificed; and the nymphs and the hogsheads that were laid in against the festivals of this new church, sufficiently informed the neighbourhood of the complexion of those hermits." However, these activities were, according to Noblitt and Perskin, to cover the real reason for the club's existence - sexual activities. Many of the Hell Fire Clubs were allegedy created to provide male members with opportunities for "sexual debauchery" [11]. Female "guests" (a euphemism for prostitutes) were referred to as "Nuns".

University of Minnesota college student Chris Jenkins was found in the Mississippi River in February of 2003. Minneapolis Police began investigating the case, which also caught the attention of two retired NYPD detectives. Turns out, Jenkins' death was the missing part of the puzzle for Kevin Gannon and Anthony Duarte. They think Jenkins connects dozens of other deaths around the country over the last decade. The stories are the same all over the country--an athletic, intelligent, well-liked college student goes missing. Because of extensive investigation by Duarte and Gannon, Jan Jenkins now says she knows exactly what happened to her son on the night he disappeared, Oct. 31, 2002. "Chris was abducted in a cargo van," she said. "He was driven around Minneapolis for hours and tortured. He was taken down to the Mississippi River and he was murdered. And after that, his body was positioned and taken to a different spot and then to a different point in the Mississippi River." Gannon and Duarte say they've discovered a link between Jenkins' death and the drownings of at least 40 other men in 25 cities in 11 different states.
These detectives believe there are multiple organized murder rings or clubs across the country that are in contact with each other in some way, a serial killer ring if you will. ......

A family inbred like serpents entwined
Had no heart and little mind
A clan of madness, a terrible scene
They cursed the earth—the Sawney Bean
Lurking in the fog a fearsome brood
Poor traveling folk they caught and slew
No graves have the victims of these ghouls and fiends
Those taken and eaten by—the Sawney Bean
From their flesh they made a meal
Their skin the floor for their bairns to kneel
Their skulls a table from which to feed
Alas the victims of—the Sawney Bean
They lived by the sword, were felled by the axe
And I say "nothing wrong with that"
But in their hellish caves worse than any dream
Cursed with the stench of—the Sawney Bean
Some are haunted by the tolling bell
Some by the fiery pits of hell
But what haunts me is what we did see
When we entered the larder of—the Sawney Bean -Traditional
 Bram Stoker best known for Dracula, was the author of several other novels including this, his last novel. The Lair of the White Worm is also Stoker's strangest novel. Written as the author was dying, and possibly loosing his mind, it is an interpretation of the legend of the Lambton Worm, a giant snake-like monster sometimes considered a flightless dragon.
Read this rare brilliant work here, read the traditional song lyrics that inspired the book.

This week on TED.com, novelist Amy Tan takes the TED audience on a funny, thoughtful walk through her head, in search of the germs of creativity. Watch this master storyteller tell her own story -- she sets fire to the TED Commandments in the first minute, and rolls from there. Also look for Brian Greene, a master storyteller in his own right, as he explains string theory to you (really!). And check out a talk from last week that is packed with insight and inspiration: Dr. Ernest Madu, talking about the creative tactics he uses to bring good health care to poor communities in Jamaica.
 Dr. Dean Ornish: Your genes are not your fate
At TED2008, Dr. Dean Ornish shares new research that shows how healthy lifestyle habits can affect a person at a genetic level. For instance, he says, when you eat better, exercise, and love more, your brain cells actually increase. And new findings show that a healthier lifestyle can actually turn off disease-provoking genes and turn on the good ones. Watch this talk >>
 Brian Greene: The universe on a string
In clear, nontechnical language, string theorist Brian Greene explains how our understanding of the universe has evolved from Einstein's notions of gravity and space-time to superstring theory, where minuscule strands of energy vibrating in 11 dimensions create every particle and force in the universe. (This mind-bending theory may soon be put to the test at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva.) Fun fact: Greene is the co-founder of this month's World Science Festival. Watch this talk >>
 Amy Tan: Where does creativity hide?
Novelist Amy Tan digs deep into the creative process, journeying through her childhood and family history and into the worlds of physics and chance, looking for hints of where her own creativity comes from. It's a wild ride with a surprise ending. Watch this talk >>
 Dr. Ernest Madu: Creative ways to bring health care to the poorest
Dr. Ernest Madu runs the Heart Institute of the Caribbean in Jamaica, where he proves that -- with smart design and creative technical choices -- it's possible to offer world-class health care in the developing world. And it takes nothing more than re-imagining the hospital. Watch this talk >>

Jon Fairaizl on Jan Chipchase's Our cell phones, ourselves:
As an international traveler. I am that person whose phone number is their address. I am that person that isn't bound to a physical address, but rather bound to a means of contact. The Wow moment in this talk in the realization that we may all be less bound to physical addresses. How do we identify ourselves then: Instead of saying we are from Britain will we say we are British Telecom users? Or we are Nokia-ers? Will more of our identity be caught up in our phones rather than where we sleep most nights?
Robert Fraser on Dr. Ernest Madu's Creative ways to bring health care to the poorest:
I am glad to see the idea that cost should not be a determinant of health care provided to the individual. The next advancement I want to work on is: How do we tie all of these current hot topics into a health facility:
+ environmentally friendly -- green roof, solar panels, wind generated power, smart design... etc.
+ conservation of water -- re-using grey water, minimizing waste
+ promoting health -- athletic/wellness facilities for staff, clients and the community
+ good food -- local, organic, free-range etc.
 The world will be watching on PANGEA DAY, May 10
Recommended: Check out the videos of the Anthem project on pangeaday.org. It's such a simple idea -- singers from one country perform the national anthem of another. But the results are surprisingly, powerfully moving. As Prashant K comments on the TED Blog: "Absolutely brilliant. To begin with, my children had a curious look on their faces ... and that turned to genuine happiness ... and obvious questions. It is a step in what Pangea Day wants to achieve, of bringing the world together (through film)."
In two weeks, Pangea Day, a first-of-its-kind global event, will be bringing the world together through the power of films made by the world for the world. On May 10, 2008, at 6:00 PM GMT, millions of people from all over the world will come together to share a program of short films, talks and music, broadcast on TV, the web and mobile phones around the world. | | | | | | | Posted at 10:06 pm by Psychomike

I am a granddaughter of Eiji Tsuburaya, who was in charge of the special effects in Godzilla. It was fascinating to see your article about the film by Peter Bradshaw (A monster of a movie, April 18). It was a good occasion for me to think again of the theme behind Godzilla at my age of 35. In the wandering period after the fatal defeat in the war, what did Japanese people see in Godzilla? And what did my grandfather want to say?
In England newspapers have given away CD's, movies- and recently The Guardian gave away free copies of the original GODZILLA
- and sales for the paper went through the roof! Here is why Godzilla still rules:
NOT YOUR PARENTS GODZILLA: It has since become a popular piece of Hollywood schlock, but the original Japanese film is a powerful meditation on war and the price of peace. GODZILLA!

Carl Hammer Gallery proudly welcomes the genius of Chris Ware back for another luminous solo appearance. This newest body of original work comes mainly from his two most recent publications The Acme Novelty Library #17 and #18. While most of the superlatives about the uncanny mastery Ware demonstrates in his story-telling art have already been said, new insights re his unique personal perspective on life culls a never-ending stream of new interpretation and understanding. He is the widely acknowledged giant within this burgeoning genre. Ware's brilliance rests on his development of a language of simple graphics focusing on timelessly simple life experiences, transforming them into profound and understandable declarations concerning the human condition.

(1947) classic noir: Bosley Crowther, film critic for The New York Times in 1947, liked the film and especially Robert Montgomery's direction, and wrote, "...Mr. Montgomery, as director and star of this story, has contrived to make it look shockingly literal and keep it moving at an unrelenting pace. And he has also managed to lace it with grisly action and rugged sentiment without deceit. Indeed, he has artfully fashioned a fascinating film within the genre. He has done something else exceptional; he has given the other actors a real chance." Crowther also praised the work of Fred Clark and Wanda Hendrix

Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil in Rosedale, Mississippi
Last month, while I was driving down the Mississippi River on a magazine assignment, I had a curious experience in Rosedale, Mississippi. As I was eating lunch in a place called Leo's Market, a waitress mentioned that Rosedale is the place where the legendary bluesman Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil in exchange for musical genius (an event alluded to in -- among other places -- the Cohen brothers' movie Oh Brother, Where Art Thou). As if to prove it, the waitress handed me a wrinkled, typewritten transcription of a "vision" about Johnson's fateful moment that had appeared to bluesman Henry Goodman as he was traveling the road from Rosedale to Anguila. For the sake of posterity (and because I have never seen it elsewhere), I am publishing Goodman's "vision" in full below, as well as a postscript by Rosedale's Crossroads Blues Society.

The Chinese in American Feature Films
Bruce Lee and Suzie Wong - mention "Chinese in Hollywood" and it's all about the exotic.
But it's not.
Hollywood Chinese is a captivating revelation on a little-known chapter of cinema: the Chinese in American feature films. From the first Chinese American film produced in 1916, to Ang Lee's triumphant Brokeback Mountain almost a century later, Hollywood Chinese brings together a fascinating portrait of actors, directors, writers and iconic images to show how the Chinese have been imagined in movies, and how filmmakers have and continue to navigate an industry that was often ignorant about race, but at times paradoxically receptive.

1977. On the one hand, disco was raging on the dancefloor. On the other, dinosaur acts such as Pink Floyd were hogging the stadiums and arenas. But for the younger and up-and-coming bands in New York, they had supportive clubs such as CBGB. Above all, they wanted to create music that meant something to themselves and their peers. And they really needed to reclaim rock music for themselves. And they had that do-it-yourself punk ethic.
Playing on January 26, 1977, Talking Heads were still about nine months shy from the release of their debut album, 77, but the group already had their intellectually stimulating and frenzied, staccato sound patented down. Even the dance-y rhythms were already in place - listen to the rolling basslines in The Book I Read. And how can anyone not be moved by the percussive Psycho Killer?
