COUNTING DOWN IN A SLUSHY NEW YORK CITY
Just got a message from co-Tumblr user I often talk to from New York City, who is one of many in a crowd just below the giant ball in New York City, waiting for 11:59 pm when he is able to count down to a new year and kiss his girlfriend. Of course until then he’s drinking few liquids, as the bathrooms potentials besides streets and snow piles are rare…
But he is having fun. And hopefully you are too.
And hopefully 2010 will turn to 2011 and we will all be able to breath a sigh of relief. We made it. Another year over. A new one just begun..
Of course in Australia, last year’s problems are already this year’s. And soon here it will be, too.

The New Years tradition continues
Just as The Christmas Story is the background noise of my Christmas every year as it airs on TBS, New Year’s brings a background noise of mystery, parallel universes, and aliens. Also known as the Twilight Zone on Syfy, airing all day today and tomorrow.
It’s a timeless show that was right before its time. And it still resonates in 2011.

The world in 1950 .. Santa Claus happily singing about Camels as the world, weary from a World War, wanted peace and prosperity.
In 2011, we’re not all that different from the grandfolks. We want peace but won’t get it. We want money but don’t have it. We want a world that runs smoothly but it never will. We battle reality. But for one night on New Year’s Eve it somehow all makes sense..

I would highly recommend the film “Grown Ups.” Great humor—enough for adults to get and kids to laugh at.

Goodbye to '10
New York says ‘good riddance’ to 2010
Tomorrow we will all be saying good riddance to the times of our lives, the time of 2010 .. but will the days of a new age be better? With 2011 merely hours away, the sun will soon rise on a new day.
We’ve all been through this before as humans—years when resolutions are quickly broken and the ‘new’ day looks strangely like one which just got scratched off the calender..
Good riddance to 2010. But problems seemingly have been swept under the floor mat to yet another year. The bill is in the mail. It’s scheduled to be here in 2011. Which is only minutes from beginning…

Airline travelers are angry.
Travelers say airlines’ customer service failed
Yes they are angry. But 30 inches plus of snow just fell on a city that rarely gets cold in the winter time!
Now that’s not giving any excuse for some of the most dramatic after effects of the storm of the new century in New York City. Babies dying and EMS workers not being able to get to locations due to snow covered roads is a major problem that hasn’t been greatly addressed by the City.
But I think as far as airlines, it’s important to remember that if a plane took off from an icy runway, lawyers would be waiting on the edge of a tarmac for problems. They would be quick to sue and sue big. I think airlines, being overly cautious, may be annoying as people are waiting, but it’s necessary. Just like the Eagles’ cancellation. I would have loved to see the Eagles (lose) play during a snowstorm, but public safely took precedence. Airlines are making the right choice in their caution. And they are losing about $150mil (so far) ..
The crippling storm..
I dread another storm hitting New York City and other areas before this one melts away. …some streets still not plowed.
Tomorrow’s cover today: please, not again. Without boldness from Barack Obama there is a real risk of war in the Middle East.

I see you picked up the story about all the medicated kids..... Well, considering the rising levels of adhd, autism, bipolar disorder and a host of other neurological disorders (especially in boys), wouldn't you suspect that the drug intake level is also rising. Perhaps a better article would be "what the hell is happening to our little boys?" I certainly don't begrudge the parents out there raising special needs kids trying meds. Walk a mile. And it certainly beats frontal lobotomies and putting them in "willowbrook" to rot until they die like they did in the good old days.
Agreed..
It’s an interesting point that boys, more than girls, seem to be affected by disorders such as autism.
What actually scares me more than the prescription drug issue is that it seems people have slowly just accepted autism as it grows and grows among children.. There has to be an answer out there somewhere.
I agree with your characterization of the article.

I love New York City. I love visiting. Often I wished I'd live there. Today, I'd happy I'm not there.
Looking at video of the “cleanup” in the city that never sleeps is brutal.. cleanup workers smashing into parked cars.. streets still not plowed. A mess is predicted to be coming this weekend, just in time for the Times Square celebration. It may be likely that the ball will drop in a mass of sludge rather than a cold mass of people. Temperatures are predicted to dramatically warm up — and rain will be falling. The maze of snow throughout the city will be left to turn into junk, mixed in with mud and grime of city buses.
A disturbing glimpse at the youth of America: 25% of them taking prescription drugs
As a soon to be parent, this story alarms me as much as it does saddens me. I don’t want little Ayden to be a pill popper. And of the 25% how many really need this..?

This is what a crippling storm in New York City looks like.. The city is still crippled in the wake of the blizzard..

The entire theory of human evolution may now change?
Researchers: Ancient human remains found in Israel
And if it’s true, it could upset everything we ever knew or thought we knew about the evolution of the human species.
