"Redline is about the biggest and most deadly racing tournament in the universe. Only held once every five years, everyone wants to stake their claim to fame, including JP, a reckless dare-devil driver oblivious to speed limits with his ultra-customized car - all the while, organized crime and militaristic governments want to leverage the race to their own ends. Amongst the other elite rival drivers in the tournament, JP falls for the alluring Sonoshee - but will she prove his undoing, or can a high speed romance survive a mass destruction race?"

In 1978 Horizon broadcast a famous programme, Now The Chips Are Down, about the invention of the silicon chip. It predicted the death of the Swiss watch industry, permanent mass unemployment and showcased a new invention called a "word processor" that would see the end of the typing pool. It was a surprisingly negative view and was followed by a debate with a Government minister about what could be done to prevent a terrible future of mass unemployment. Cabinet members watched the programme to find out what the microprocessor was all about.

The advent of birth control, the sexual liberation of women, and the normalization of sex before marriage, to name a few factors, have drastically changed today’s dating scene. Social networking and mass media have also impacted the way we communicate and behave. In this more permissive age of “hooking up” and “casual sex” it is important to understand the common miscommunications between men and women. Is there a new set of rules that govern our generation since the dating pressures have changed? Growing up within these changes, three classmates and I set out to explore our romantic experiences in this new atmosphere and answer our most personal questions by making a documentary. Our intent is to investigate the difference between a man’s idea of intimacy and a woman’s idea of intimacy in heterosexual relationships. Are there fundamental differences between guys and girls that daters should know about before they fool around or settle down? Research included reading books, journal articles, and essays and even watching other documentary films on the topic. Professionals were interviewed in the areas of sociology, psychology, philosophy, anthropology, and biology in order to understand this age-old conflict. In the course of making Adam, Meet Eve, we discovered that the rules in romance might not have changed so much after all. A majority of the research led to the conclusion that young daters need to acknowledge their goals and the goals of their partner – a lesson universal to all times and relationships.

Ostara is a celebration of fulfillment! Not that all of the promises made at Samhain have been fulfilled, but a special assurance that they will be. The next celebration, after all, will be of The God/ The Lord coming of age. And this one, we celebrate the fact that he is advancing toward that. In many ancient societies in which child mortality was common, a celebration at this point was appropriate.
And here we also celebrate and make a point of something I keep repeating about because it is so important: fulfillment is a fact! The next Sabbat is Beltaine, and we know when it is going to be - you can mark it on your calendar. And, what is celebrated does not depend on anyone's will, either.
Blessed Be!

This week on 1Life2Play, Braz attempts to bring his challenge woes to a halt and beat someone in something! Can he do it? The crew, while hitting on what they've been playing over the past week, find out why Verlane has put picking up the PS Vita on the back burner. Also, Dan Stansbury drops by for some gaming fun! We also talk about the SUPABOY found on Amazon.com and express our surprise at the price of some ol' school classics! All that plus the mod report, weekly steal and the news including our thoughts on EA & Bioware's decision to release Day 1 DLC for Mass Effect 3.
February 20th is Tempest Smith Day, and she deserves a day to mark her short life. On February 20, 2001, Tempest Smith died as a result of the relentless bullying she received from her classmates. She was shy, she liked to wear black "Gothic" clothing and, she was studying and following Wicca.
She was also highly intelligent and talented. She wrote poetry, played the flute, and in general showd more depth to herself that most folks would expect in a middle-school girl. Had she lived, she would be entering her mid-twenties today. One can only imagine the young woman she might have become!
Many of us have endured bullying, and perhaps most of us who would find interest in a podcast such as this. It could be said that Tempest Smith was one of so many, but she is also one who represents ever-so-many. A look at the Tempest Smith Foundation web site reveals photographs of many more.
And so, perhaps let us see her as a patron for those who are the victims of bullying. And if we keep Tempest in mind, we might be able to put an end to bullying.
And this is a special ritual done in her honor to celebrate her life and mark her day.
Blessed Be!

Imbolc in some places is a Sabbat greeted with a feeling of relief. We've had winter with us for a while, the brightness and merriness of Yule is in the past, and what's been left to many of us is simply cold and perhaps a bunch of snow, too! At Imbolc, we celebrate the first stirrings of spring, with the first shoots of the heartier crops pushing their heads through the snow to be seen!
We were made a promise at Samhain when we celebrated the life of the old year. That promise was re-stated at Yule, as the sun began its return to us. And Imbolc gives us the first tangible evidence that it is actually happening. We have the first actual evidence that spring is actually going to be!
Other paths, including the Christian, have flattered us by adopting our Sabbats, and this one is no exception. However, you sometimes might feel forced to dig deep if you want to learn about more than "Ground Hog Day". But that's OK, there is something very significant - and it gives an extra perspective to help us see the full importance of what Imbolc means!
And so, let's celebrate!
Blessed Be!

An 'Occupier' goes nuts at Disneyland
My first music video, "Rocket Stone," shot at Disneyland Paris, is in reaction to the current economic and political climate: I let off steam, with a driving beat, all the while advocating a universal message of freedom. At next mass demonstration we will sing all together « ouh ouh ouh, ah ah ah !!!! »

Judging by the sheer amount of scenes featuring biometrics in Hollywood movies we can reasonably conclude that Hollywood has an agenda. The following movie is a compilation of (just a fraction of) biometric propaganda, or to be more precise 'predictive programming'. Predictive programming is a subtle form of psychological conditioning provided by the media to acquaint the public with planned societal changes to be implemented by the powers that be. If and when these changes are put through, the public will already be familiarized with them and will accept them as 'natural progressions', thus lessening any possible public resistance and commotion. Predictive programming therefore may be considered as a veiled form of pre-emptive mass manipulation or mind control, courtesy of our puppet masters. I find it interesting that they often show how people get around this high tech security and they often show the underlying database (a.k.a. control grid too). Also the casual manner in which people in these movies interact with biometric devices is striking. In the movies people have absolutely no issue with providing any type of biometric ID (this is how you are expected to behave in the near future). Upon editing this movie I also found that the person providing biometric verification usually gets positive confirmation in some subtle way, a light nod, a smile, a cheery ping, no doubt meant to get this tech stuck in your brain as a positive thing. Some might find this montage a bit confusing, but I need to explain that the emphasis is on the biometry, not on the plot of the movie.
It's Yuletide, and here's our Yuletide celebration, in our special chapel where all join in, no matter where you are!
Yule is a special time, for so many reasons, not the least of which is its prominence in the Wheel Of The Year. After all, it is the first visible fulfillment of the promise made at Samhain. There was a death then, but also a promise of a new birth. And that's what we have here, and we celebrate it.
In fact, most paths at the time of their Winter Solstice celebrate it, and for good reason. It was the beginning of the sun's return. There were wintry days ahead, but a promise had been made, and this is its first sign of fulfillment, no matter if it's December in the Northern Hemisphere or June in the Southern Hemisphere. And since I'm in the Nothern Hemisphere, we have this now.
And if you look at it, there's something special. And perhaps we can look at it here.
But above all, it's Yule and a good time to celebrate and enjoy fellowship!
Blessed Be!
Spring arrives in the polar regions, and the sun appears after an absence of five months; warmth and life return to these magical ice worlds - the greatest seasonal transformation on our planet is underway. Male Adelie penguins arrive in Antarctica to build their nests - it takes a good property to attract the best mates and the males will stop at nothing to better their rivals! But these early birds face the fiercest storms on the planet. In the Arctic, a polar bear mother is hunting with her cubs. Inland, the frozen rivers start to break up and billions of tons of ice are swept downstream in the greatest of polar spectacles. This melt-water fertilizes the Arctic Ocean, feeding vast shoals of Arctic cod and narwhal. The influx of freshwater accelerates the breakup of the sea-ice - an area of ice the size of Australia will soon vanish from the Arctic. On land, a woolly bear caterpillar emerges from the snow having spent the winter frozen solid. Caterpillars normally become moths within months of hatching, but life is so harsh here that the woolly bear takes 14 years to reach adulthood. Once mature it has only days to find a mate before it dies! Alongside the caterpillars white Arctic wolves race to raise their adorable cubs before the cold returns. In Antarctica vast numbers of seabirds arrive on South Georgia joining the giant albatross and king penguins that have been there all winter. Elephant seals fight furious battles over females on a beach that contains the greatest mass of animals on the planet. Finally, the female Adelie penguins arrive, chased from the water by killer whales. Mating and chick rearing lie ahead of them.
http://www.einstein.yu.edu - Kathy Anastos, M.D., recalls how a compelling email and pivotal meeting with an HIV-positive Rwandan woman led the development of model programs for women with HIV/AIDS in Rwanda. This first initiative led to the creation of additional programs, including mass public screening for HIV/AIDS, feeding and educating children, and job creation for adults. Dr. Anastos is co-director of Albert Einstein College of Medicine's Global Health Center and an attending physician at Montefiore Medical Center.
