First up, LA beaches are toxic. Which isn’t surprising given our storm water assessment fees haven’t been raised since Pamela Anderson first appeared on Baywatch. With the Mayor’s Office dragging its heels (verrucas perhaps?), we encourage individuals to take responsibility for their own actions.
Next, we investigate what’s missing from the Appalachian Mountains. Hint: it’s not Mark Sanford. Seriously, because of Mountaintop Removal (MTR), large swathes of the Appalachias is unable to support life and is causing residents to become very ill. Help support non-profits take the coal companies and banks to task.
Finally, font otakus rejoice. Inspired by a local cheese, Dutch creative agency has come up with a stylish new font that saves the planet by saving ink. Best of all, the ingenious eco-font also saves you money. Brilliant.First up, LA beaches are toxic. Which isn’t surprising given our storm water... more

A TV writer tries his hand at a feature film. His friend reads the script, thinks it’s an ungodly mess of muddled symbolism and Freud 101 anxieties. “Be honest,” the writer says.
This is the way friendships end, and mean, funny films about the deaths of such friendships are born.
In THE BLUE TOOTH VIRGIN, Austin Peck — best known to soap aficionados as Brad Snyder on AS THE WORLD TURNS — plays the writer of said screenplay, not coincidentally called The Blue Tooth Virgin, while Bryce Johnson is his put-upon friend. Director Russell Brown, who also scripted, has structured the film as a series of two-character confrontations, bringing in friends, girlfriends, therapists, and Karen Black as a decidedly off-center script consultant to add their own feedback to the proceedings. The dialogue is crisp, funny, and frequently, happily, nasty, and the film speaks at once to those directly immersed in the machinations of the film industry, and to everyone who puts their creativity, and their egos, on the line.
Austin Peck gave me some good insights into fragility of the creative soul, and whether Karen Black can still deal gracefully with those who ask about the Zuni fetish doll.

The second annual Sunset Strip Music Festival is out to prove that the Westside is the best side with a musical lineup that includes Ozzy Osbourne, Korn, Shiny Toy Guns, Shwayze, the Donnas, LMFAO, and many, many more. This year, the Strip will actually be closed off for a street festival, complete with two outdoor stages, as well as ongoing concerts in the Roxy, Key Club, Cat Club and Whiskey a Go-Go. The low, low price of $49.50 (or $39.50 for presale tix) gets you access to all 50+ bands playing, although some of the indoor venues may reach capacity early.

Megaquake in California in 2010? Could the San Andreas Fault produce a giant magnitude 8 earthquake? The King James version English Bible Code makes predictions of a quake. Such a quake either near Los Angeles or near San Francisco could be one of the greatest disasters in United States history. One day such a quake will hit.
From the Revelation13.net web site, for more on this see Revelation13.net (Revelation 13: Prophecies of the Future, Astrology, Nostradamus, Bible Prophecy, the King James version English Bible Code).

Amateur Psychic by telekinesis tries to bring rain to California and Los Angeles (LA).
Amateur Psychic attempts to send heavy rain to LA to help on the drought and fire conditions there.
Amateur psychic T. Chase attempts to send rain on 8-31-09 by telekinesis to Los Angeles and California generally because of a major fire burning near LA and other fires in California. See other videos where T. Chase demonstrates psychic psychokinesis weather control by making clouds disappear or grow by psychic energy. T. Chase will attempt to help the drought situation in LA and California. What could help, is that a hurricane off the West Coast of Mexico on 8-31-09, if it could head north toward LA, and just send some of its heavy rain to LA, without the wind. So I will try to steer some of that hurricane's rain toward LA.Amateur Psychic by telekinesis tries to bring rain to California and Los Angeles (LA).... more

Two Los Angeles County firefighters were killed Sunday when their vehicle rolled down a mountain side amid the intense flames of a wildfire that threatened 12,000 homes. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger urged those in the fire's path to get out as the blazes rained ash on cars as far away as downtown Los Angeles, spreading in all directions in dry conditions.
Firefighters fixed their attention on the blaze's fast-moving eastern side where flames lapped at the foot of the vital communications and astronomy center of Mount Wilson, and on the northwestern front, where the two firefighters were killed on Mount Gleason near the city of Acton.
"We ask for your understanding, for your patience as we move through this difficult time, and please, prayers for the families of our two brothers that we lost," county Deputy Fire Chief Mike Bryant said through tears at a Sunday night press conference.
Bryant said the men's families have been notified. He did not release their identities or give a cause for the crash, and officials at the press conference would take no questions on the deaths.
Television helicopter video on Sunday night showed an upside-down vehicle on the mountain side.
"Our hearts are heavy as we are tragically reminded of the sacrifices our firefighters and their families make daily to keep us safe," Schwarzenegger said in a statement.
The blaze was only about 5 percent contained and had scorched 66 square miles in the Angeles National Forest. Mandatory evacuations were in effect for neighborhoods in Glendale, Pasadena and other cities and towns north of Los Angeles. Officials said air quality in parts of the foothills bordered on hazardous.
The fire, which broke out Wednesday afternoon, was the largest of many burning around California, including a new blaze in Placer County northeast of Sacramento that destroyed several homes and businesses...

Kelly Gneiting, a 430lb rig-driving 'gentle giant' from Rigby, Idaho, set out on a clear direction 6 years ago: To become the most feared and respected heavyweight sumo wrestler in the United States. Mission accomplished. Kelly has won the US Sumo Championship every year since 2004 and some feel he could very well be one of the best in the world if he continues to train.
Earlier last year, however, his warrior confidence may have gone to his head. Noticing that his trucking route (and yes, he does haul potatoes) took him through Los Angeles at the very time the LA Marathon was taking place, he did the only thing an overly-confident sumo champ would do - he registered and ran.
Never having run more than 7 miles in his entire life, Kelly shifts gears and digs deep to find the heart and courage it will take to complete the 26.2 mile jog. Will he run out of gas, or fulfill his dream of finishing a marathon?Kelly Gneiting, a 430lb rig-driving 'gentle giant' from Rigby, Idaho, set... more
