DON MARCIAL RIVERA TOCANDO (98 AÑOS) http://www.youtube.com/watch...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

The great Puerto Rican cuatrista and composer Marcial Rivera Leon died last week at 99 years of age. He was the last great player of his generation, actively performing on his instrument virtually up to the day he died. He was also one of Puerto Rico's greatest composers for the cuatro, writing new pieces in the 19th century danza style. - GuitarBuster - -

Ben Carson Blames Measles Outbreak On 'Undocumented People' - http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewir...

"These are things that we had under control. We have to account for the fact that we now have people coming into the country sometimes undocumented people who perhaps have diseases that we had under control," he said. "So now we need to be doubly vigilant about making sure that we immunize them to keep them from getting diseases that once were under control." According to the World Health Organization, about 93 percent of children in Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, from which a majority of undocumented children have emigrated from, have gotten a measles vaccination. - GuitarBuster - -

Well, he is partially correct, but the undocumented people responsible are not foreigners. It was an unvaccinated Amish missionary that brought the disease back from a visit to the Phillipines, where last year it spread like wildfire through the Amish communities of the US & Canada, particularly Ohio. But unlike the anti-vaxer idiots among the general population, the Amish are not entirely against the idea of vaccines and are voluntarily showing up to be vaccinated, rather than pointing the finger of blame at other people. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.vox.com/2015/1... ; title="http://www.vox.com/2015/1... ; - GuitarBuster - -

Yet again, the promise of a 5,000-acre theme park in Fort Worth. It’s news to Fort Worth too. | Dallas Morning News - http://thescoopblog.dallasnews.com/2015...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

In May 2013 a press conference was scheduled in Fort Worth to announce a massive theme park planned by a faith-based entertainment-maker called The DreamVision Company. Its CEO, Rick Silanskas, promised big things: “We see this as the future family entertainment capital of the world — that’s a big statement to make,” he told KTVT-Channel 11. “There will be substantial opportunity as far as educational development in film, television, animation, and theme park development.” Around the same time, D reported that “DreamVision officials said they hope to produce films and Broadway shows, and possibly build a Christian theme park in Fort Worth.” - GuitarBuster - -

But nothing ever came of the fireworks. Today, Fort Worth officials say the company’s gone “silent.” They also had no idea DreamVision until this morning that DreamVision has scheduled another press conference next week to announce … wait for it .. an “approximately” 5,000-acre theme park in Fort Worth. “I can’t imagine where there would be 5,000 acres to do such a thing,” says Fort Worth media coordinator Kevin Neal. He considers it for a second, and says, well, maybe there’s a big enough spot in north Fort Worth — “maybe near Alliance Airport, the only place I could think of.” The office of Congresswoman Kay Granger, who represents that part of Tarrant County, tells The Dallas Morning News this is news to them. On Friday, DreamVision apparently issued a press release promising a $3.5 billion theme park in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, complete with “golf courses, water parks, hotels, theatres, concert venues, retail and more.” That same release also mentioned the resurrection of the Fort Worth theme park. And, sure enough, according to the company’s website an 11 a.m. press conference is scheduled to live stream on the site Monday announcing what’s currently being billed as “DreamVision Mountain” in “DreamScape, Texas,” which I believe is where Dennis Quaid was born. But many questions remain, and DreamVision isn’t yet eager to answer them. We called this morning for more info and two hours later received a press release from Trisha Clayton, who has a San Francisco area code and a Comcast email account. She said she’d set up an interview with Rick Silanskas following the Monday presser, which the release says is scheduled to take place at The Ashton Depot near the Water Gardens and convention center. Per the release, here’s what the press conferences promises: “new details about the park including visuals,” an “approximate opening date,” “estimated employment” figures and “additional ventures and details.” Silanskas will speak; so to will Ron Logan, DreamVision’s chief creative officer and a former executive vice president at Disney who cast most of its live-entertainment productions. In Alabama, local officials are as in the dark as Fort Worth officials. “No city officials were notified of the big news either,” reports WAAY-TV. An Alabama state rep told the Times Daily he’s “cautiously optimistic” about the proposed development there, but the Muscle Shoals mayor had no idea what DreamVision’s talking about. On Friday AL.com’s Paul Gattis wrote that “no one in Alabama seems to know about it … not the mayor of Muscle Shoals, not the president of the Shoals Chamber of Commerce and not the state secretary of commerce.” Gattis followed up yesterday by noting that the release that went out last week announcing the Fort Worth and Muscle Shoals development “was sent to media outlets on Friday from what appeared to be a personal Gmail account.” The press release isn’t on the company’s website, but there is an October 2014 “exclusive” kinda-sorta concerning the proposed development from Orlando-based Attractions Magazine touting “The Birth Of A New Theme Park.” It doesn’t say where. Another “exclusive” on Attractions Magazine’s website in July noted only a proposed $4-billion North Texas theme park with a proposed $4 billion price tag. DreamVision used to be based in Orlando, incidentally. Both pieces promise it will be North Texas’ version of Disneyland — a theme park imbued “with the essence of Walt Disney himself,” as Attractions put it last summer. “I was fascinated by what [Walt Disney] created and the way he presented it,” says Rick Silanskas on his company’s website. “He brought pure, wholesome family entertainment to the entire family. I am humbled by Walt. He is truly a great inspiration. From the age of seven or eight, I would watch everything he did, and how he did it, and what he was doing next.” So … until Monday, looks like. “I guess we’ll all find out at the same time,” says Fort Worth’s spokesman. Gives us all plenty of time to revisit all those stories about Disney’s Frisco venture. - GuitarBuster - -

The DreamVision Co., which recently moved its headquarters to Fort Worth, plans to develop a massive, 5,000-acre theme park in Fort Worth, which is designed to include golf courses, water parks, theaters, concert venues, retail and hotels. The Fort Worth theme park will become one of the largest theme parks in the world, with a seemingly mountain theme (although officials aren't answering questions on the project yet). - GuitarBuster - -

Over 300 manatees close down Three Sisters Springs - http://www.wtsp.com/story...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

Three Sisters Springs had to close down on Monday when over 300 manatees rapidly moved into the interior of the springs at an unexpected rate. As tides began to rise around noon, the manatees started to swim into the springs. During a manatee count conducted today by the manatee watch volunteers, a total of 293 manatees had moved into the interior of the springs by 1:00 p.m. By 1:30 p.m. the manatee count in the interior of the springs had surpassed 300 total manatees and The US Fish and Wildlife issued the temporary closure of Three Sisters Springs. - GuitarBuster - -

Jeff Greene Walks Back Davos Quote - Business Insider - http://www.businessinsider.com/jeff-gr...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

Palm Beach billionaire Jeff Greene, who made an absolute fortune hedging against the real estate market by betting that people would default on their mortgages, has put a 35,000-square-foot mansion in Beverly Hills on the market for what is believed to be the most expensive public listing in the country -- a cool $195 million. The fortress includes 12 bedrooms, 23 baths, a 25-acre lot, a 24-car garage, an "entertainment complex," a bowling alley, a rotating dance floor with a DJ booth, and of course, its own vineyard. - GuitarBuster - -

At last month’s confab of multi-millionaires and billionaires in Davos, billionaire Jeff Greene said the “lifestyle expectations” of average Americans have climbed “far too high and need to be adjusted so we have less things and a smaller, better existence.” Greene owns three mansions in Los Angeles, two more in Palm Beach and the Hamptons, and a 145-foot party yacht. The ultra-rich say the reason American wages aren't rising is average Americans have priced themselves out of the global labor market and must either content themselves with lower wages or fewer jobs. This view ignores the fact that the U.S. economy is more than twice the size it was thirty years ago, while the median wage is about the same as it was then, adjusted for inflation. All the gains have gone to people like Jeff Greene. The middle classes of other advanced nations, such as Germany, have done far better, while their richest 1 percent rake in a much smaller share of their total economy. Rather than average Americans living beyond their means, the truth is average Americans are living well below the means the U.S. economy could otherwise provide, if the wealthy didn’t take such a large portion of the gains and have such a strangle hold on the levers of political power. - GuitarBuster - -

Almost 60 years ago, in November 1956, LIFE magazine published an article with the deceptively lighthearted title, “Animals Make a Hospital Happy.” Noting that children, especially, are acutely aware of “how depressing it is to be in a hospital . . . the University of Michigan’s hospital at Ann Arbor runs a perpetual animal show which is enjoyed by the 3,000 children who pass annually thought its wards.” - GuitarBuster - -
