Had to take a moment for Teddy P...

Theodore DeReese "Teddy" Pendergrass (March 26, 1950 – January 13, 2010)
Pendergrass' career began when he was a drummer for The Cadillacs, which soon merged with Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes. Melvin invited Pendergrass to become the lead singer after he jumped from the rear of a stage and started singing his heart out. Months later the group signed with Gamble and Huff on the then-CBS subsidiary Philadelphia International Records in 1972. The Blue Notes had hits such as "I Miss You", "Bad Luck", "Wake Up Everybody", the two million seller "If You Don't Know Me by Now", and many more

Food design in the 21th century

We want a printed steak, square fishsticks, dinosaur nuggets, organic coca-cola, hyper fruit, cloned meat, potato-free potato chips, frankenwein, vegetarian hamburgers and hypernatural tomatoes. We want vitamine+Q10 yoghurt that makes you loose weight. We want to hear the sound of a sausage when we bite it – we want notice how well designed that sausage sound really is.

Already for thousands of years people have been food designers. How will food technology develop itself into the 21th century? The Philips Food Design Probes investigate how we will eat and source our food in the future, like in 15 to 20 years. There are 3 products we might have in our homes by then:

The Philips Food Printer, depicted above, brings molecular gastronomy to your kitchen. “Feed” is with some ingredients, pick a shape, let it print … and voilà your amazing 3D dish is ready. We hope the opensource 3D recipes that will be available soon.

The Biosphere Home Farm is your fridge of the future. A mini ecosystem containing fish, plants that allows you to have your food fresh the Philips biosphere Home Farm. It’s a 21st century aquarium crossed with stylish shelving unit, it contains fish, plants and other mini ecosystems.

The Nutrition Monitor. It basically has 3 parts, a sensor which you have to swallow, a scanner which can measure the nutritional value of food and a display device. So you’ll exactly know what your body needs and what kind of effect your food will have on it. Especially handy for people who suffer from the healty eating disorder.

Cash Money,Oil?!?!

Cash Money has added Oil Company Owners to their extensive list of business ventures.
They released the following statement on their website,"Bronald is committed to working cooperatively with governments and private enterprise to recover energy from known oil and gas reserves throughout North and Central America in an environmentally friendly manner,” and it “intends to utilize both historically successful technologies and means, as well as new innovations and technology, to recover energy resources in both and economic and environmentally efficient manner. Bronald is committed to preserving the environment, promoting worker safety and maximizing the potential output of various oil and gas assets.”

I know Cash Money is an Army,better yet a Navy(c)Juvenile,but you crossing over to the world of HALIBURTON&BUSH,they really do have an army and a navy and they go hard for that Oil$$$.Walk Soft a tote a Big Gun Fellas.

The case is constructed of plywood covered with carved clay which is then coated in chrome, giving it a professional-looking polish. LEDs inside light up the carved glyphs, and they can be switched to red or blue.

FILLMORE SLIM INTERVIEW

(from walrus tv): Known especially for his days as the Undisputed Godfather of West Coast Pimpin’, OG legend and bluesman Fillmore Slim made a name for himself on the streets of San Francisco beginning in the late ’50’s that carries through today. He has since left the game to pursue his music career, but his iconic image is anything but forgotten. Rolling around SF in his Cadillac, he recounts his role in pimpin’, run-ins with the law, and what lead him back to his original love, the blues. Watch the interview from Walrus TV below…

The Microsoft Bus

Is this what the future holds? I doubt it since we are light years behind China and Japan. The Microsoft Bus has been seen rolling through China ,but the best thing about this bus is that even at capacity it is a comfortable and productive ride.

FTP MLK March

In the spirit of MLK Day the FTP Movement was full force on Peachtree for the MLK March.The non-violence in any form approach Dr. King took in leading the civil rights movement was well repped as they marched with signs of the faces of the Political Prisoners being housed in prisons(some on death row) in the U.S. for crimes that lack evidence.
Shout out to the homie Goldigold @ Koncrete Jungle for the Dope Vid. and the FTP Movement

Brother Ali "Good Lord"

(from Brother Ali) : I'm glad to finally show yall the new video for Good Lord from the Truth Is Here EP that dropped a few weeks ago. The song is about spirituality and how it works alongside music. I get criticized from both angles on this issue. Some religious people say my music is too crude or obscene. People who hate religion say I talk about it too much. My feeling is that, when done right, spirituality and art are one and the same. The particular faith or medium of art almost doesnt matter. That connection to each other is what were seeking. Something spiritual happens when them hands get to clappin. My good friend Rik Cordero shot the video at a community event we did in the historic Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Center in Harlem NY. This is the place where my hero, Malcolm X held his later meetings and was assassinated in 1965. If you pay attention, youll see Popmaster Fable (Rock Steady Crew) and Ali Shaheed Muhammad (Tribe Called Quest) along with a host of prominent Muslim teachers and activists. Just wanted to show you how we get down from time to time. - Brother Ali

Diddy Co-Signs Rick Ross as Big Reincarnated WTF

The Stop Loss Emcee

Army Specialist Mark Hall was recently jailed after making a "hip hop" song about how the Stop Loss Policy was affecting him being able to come home after completing his tour in Iraq.Coming from a Military State(VA),this subject has been on the dinner table in my house mad times.The thing that makes Mark Hall's case ill is that he is not an emcee with a deal nor is he getting notoriety from Youtube.This video doesn't even have that many hits.The fact that he recorded his feelings about a situation that he was experiencing at the hands of our Government's Military has him locked up,that is what makes this GRITTY.Remember that before signing those enlist papers.
