South Korea’s Yeosu Wins 2012 World Expo Bid

Posted: 07 Sep 2010 12:53 PM PDT


South Korea's Yeosu lost out to Shanghai for the 2010 World Expo. But the southwestern Korean city beat out Morocco's Tangier.

Not a small deed considering the World Expo will be hosted in Asia twice within two years.

The vote was 77-63. Wroclaw, Poland was eliminated after the first round of votes.

Votes came from all over – 36 from Europe, 32 from the Americas, 30 from Asia and Oceania, 12 from Middle East and 30 from Africa.

"'The Living Ocean and Coast'' helped the Jeolla Province city top the

2012.world.expo.jpg other two candidates: Tangier with a cultural, peace-centered theme and Wroclaw focusing on the leisure activities in world economies."

About 10 million people are expected to visit Yeosu to take part in the World's 3rd largest event which stretches over three months.

One thing to look forward to -  "Officials are planning to create an eye-catching establishment, comparable to Paris' Eiffel Tower that was built for the 1889 expo, to attract tourists for years to come."

Sexting worries parents, worries me

Posted: 07 Sep 2010 04:47 AM PDT


The word “sexting” cannot be found in Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary…yet.

Still, some 20% of teenagers in the United States have done it says some estimates. Sexting is yet another epidemic spreading at U.S. schools.

A 14-year-old girl in Orange County, California took nude photos of herself and sent them to at least one friend. That ‘friend’ circulated the girl’s photos.

A 15-year-old girl in Warren County, Ohio said she sent a nude photo of herself via a text message on her cell phone to another minor.

The girl’s nude photo was discovered on a cell phone from a boy in a high school classroom.

“Sexting” — where people send sexually explicit images via electronic communication — is much more prevalent now than it was just a few years ago.

Another study by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy finds that two in five teens say they have posted sexually suggestive messages to others. Nearly one in two say they have received such messages. Young adults – three in five have sent or posted sexually suggestive messages via their cell phones.

One police detective in Colorado say “on something like that it’s child pornography. If you take that picture, you’re manufacturing it; if you send that picture, then you’re distributing it.”

Parents and educators think there is a need for schools to have and follow a consistent cell phone policy.

Nope…parents need to do more parenting and educators more educating on how the whole ‘sexting’ thing plays out.

I have a little girl. I predict that when she is old enough to have a cell phone, she’ll be able to push a few buttons and just talk to the person on the other end. Oh, wait, that’s already possible.

How do you recommend we teach our kids to not do the sexting thing?

Machete review , Trailer video

Posted: 07 Sep 2010 04:34 AM PDT



Cinema Blend suggests, Machete isn’t just the
ultra-violent action movie people seem to be expecting, it’s a movie
intent on making a series of pretty outrageous political statements,
while it blows things up. Read more…

Film Buff Online says, Danny Trejo has long been a
member of director Robert Rodriguez’s stock company of actors, usually
cast as a glowering henchman to a film’s lead badguy, but he has had a
chance to play off that image as the kind-hearted uncle to the titular
Spy Kids. Read more…

When Danny Trejo played “Machete” in Spy Kids, he was gruff and mean looking, but he did so in a movie for children of all ages. This new movie would give young children nightmares for a long time.

It will be difficult for some to resolve the differences between the two characters named “Machete” that Danny Trejo has played. In this, his latest movie, and first starring role, Trejo portrays a man that will as soon take your head off as talk to you.

Ringside Report tells us, Danny Trejo stars in his first lead role as the title character; Machete an legendary “Mexican Federale” agent who loses his position after a run in with a very powerful drug lord with deep pockets and connections called Torrez (Steven Segal). Read more…

It is probably only a coincidence, but a second oil rig has exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. The crew of 13 is said to have escaped to safety. Will this second explosion, and the oil spill that will no doubt follow cause the U.S. to reconsider the safety of drilling in the gulf?

2 News Blog is saying, The Coast Guard reports that a mile-long oil sheen extends from the place of today’s oil installation explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, according to the Associated Press. Read more…

We can rest assured that there will be much more data on Thursday’s shallow water oil rig explosion in the days to come. We wonder what kind of fallout there will be from this one.

Disinformation reports, An off-shore oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico exploded early Thursday, sending its crew of 13 scrambling into the water and creating a sheen of spilled oil. Read more…

Only Kent tells us, It seems that the Gulf of Mexico is destined for bad things at the moment as there is news of another oil rig explosion on an off-shore oil rig in the area earlier today. Fortunately nobody was killed in the explosion which resulted in the crew of 13 having to jump into the water where they were rescued, although one worker did suffer a minor injury. Read more…
