"The most brutal, ugly, degenerate, vicious form of expression it has been my displeasure to hear," Frank Sinatra wrote of rock 'n' roll during the time of Elvis Presley. But Frank wasn't stupid... he knew his relevance was fading and if you can't beat 'em, you have to join 'em. So in
1960, Elvis Presley was welcomed home from his two year
military tour by the
Frank Sinatra Timex Show "Welcome Home Elvis" special. Later Sinatra said,
"I'm just a singer. Elvis was the embodiment of the whole American culture."

Seventy four years ago,
something happened off La Jolla Shores, California, that changed the world of ocean recreation forever. An invitation-only group of watermen, the
Bottom Scratchers became the
founding fathers of free diving. Although the club would eventually grow to only 20 members, the men did everything they could to grow the sport and teach others how to spear fish, keep a good spear gun or get lobsters and abalone on breath-held dives.

"But, it's a post on film noir!" I told her. She jerked away from me like a startled fawn might, if I had a startled fawn and it jerked away from me. I knew that caving into my desires meant I might lose her. But I didn't care. I went out to the kitchen to make
coffee -- yards of coffee. Rich, strong, bitter, boiling hot, ruthless, depraved. I knew she'd be back.

Nearly 60,000* American children (mostly girls) are abducted by strangers each year. After seeing a
security video documenting a young girl's abduction, 15-year-old Dallas Jessup convinced her Filipino street fighting instructor to work with her on a school project and together they developed a method intended to teach young girls how to avoid
Carla Brucia's fate. The resulting 47 minute video,
Just Yell Fire, is viewable free of charge and teaches easy self defense moves created to help a potential victim avoid abduction or date rape. If there's a girl you love and want to protect from harm, the tips in
this video may just save her life someday.

"
Lex has had two tours in Iraq," Jerome Lee said. "He's been through a lot, and we just want to get Lex
home to our family and let him have a happy life." It is the first time a working dog has been granted retirement to live with a handler's family.

In the early 1950's,
Monsanto Chemical Company, MIT and Disneyland
collaborated their resources and creative brainpower
to build "the house of 1986." Using 30,000 pounds of plastic (The building's structure, carpet, chairs, sinks, appliances and floors were all plastic. About $7,500 to $15,000 worth.), the
Monsanto House of the Future* was opened to an excited public in June of 1957. It was closed in 1967 as ideas of the future were beginning to change.
Let's take a quick tour, shall we?
*(Not to be confused with Xanadu Homes of Tomorrow.)
