RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES

Got lots of responses to my question yesterday on how the newest APES film was.. Most agree: it was great. Now, anyone out there want to babysit so my wife and I can go?

The beat goes on: 


Lollapalooza day two: Eminem rules..
Coldplay performs new song..

Are the London Riots a glimpse of the future?

Are the London Riots a glimpse of the future?

Latest from London: Riot scene being described by news accounts and Twitter feeds across the net.. Being called a war zone, 26 police officers have been hurt..


Dozens have been arrested in the violence..


The riots are taking place in the economically deprived Tottenham area. Police cars are being set of fire, buildings and buses are being torched..


It all began when Mark Duggan, 29, father of four, was killed in what is being described as an ‘apparent’ exchange of gunfire..


Developing story that the world is watching..

Solar flared out? …not the sun. A sunspot, 1263, is only getting bigger.. As a matter of fact, here is how SpaceWeather.com reports it:



Behemoth sunspot 1263 has almost doubled in size this weekend. A 28-hour movie from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory shows the spot developing a tail that has added some 50,000 km of length to the active region. This development may increase the likelihood of a strong flare.



Watching and waiting… staring at the sun….

What a year!
And if they had to do it again, would they have stayed in the mine…?


Living in poverty: A year after the world was chilled watching Chilean miners get rescused on live TV, they still live in poverty and strife..
And not only dealing with poverty, but now they have to deal with fruit being hurled at their heads! Protesters threw fruit at the rescued miners, accusing them of being greedy..
