| Beale Street Music Festival 2011 Line-up Announced Posted: 03 Mar 2011 11:37 AM PST
 Every year thousands of music enthusiasts from all over the country embark upon a journey to enjoy a three day party of sight and sound known as the Beale Street Music Festival. Held the first weekend in May, this year April 29-May 1, the Memphis in May organizers put together an astonishing line-up of artists in genres ranging from folk to blues to hard rock. The combination of the music, an endless supply of food vendors and adult beverages, and the incredible festival atmosphere are just three of the many reasons why visitors flock to the "Bluff City" every year. Over the last 34 years of the festival, artists such as 311, Chevelle, 30 Seconds to Mars, George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelic, Dave Matthews Band, Widespread Panic, and many, many others have travelled to Memphis to take the stage. The anticipation of each year's line-up announcement comes to a head today, when all of the artists are announced to the public. Over 60 acts on 4 massive stages overlooking the mighty Mississippi River at Tom Lee Park will be invited to perform at the festival which has been nominated for a Concert Industry Award for Festival of the Year, and has also been put on Playboy Magazine's Fun 2000 events, proclaiming it a "must-do" event. Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster, and are priced at $69 for a 3-day pass plus tax and Ticketmaster fees. Single day tickets are priced at $30(before April 28th)-$37(after April 28th) plus tax and Ticketmaster charges. Parking is not included in these prices and typically costs between $5 and $25 each day. If you've never been to Beale Street Musicfest, I encourage you to go at least one day, if not all three days, and if you've been, then you know how much fun it is and how many amazing acts come to Memphis from all over to rock the river. Ladies and gentlemen…I give you the 2011 Memphis in May Beale Street Music Festival Line-up courtesy of www.MemphisinMay.org!  |
| Jimmy Fallon Charlie Sheen Video: Now THIS is Winning (Watch) Posted: 03 Mar 2011 11:34 AM PST
 This video is the epitome of winning! After watching this video, you'll quickly realize that no one – NO ONE – does Charlie Sheen better than Jimmy Fallon. Fallon portrays the "b-tchin' dude' himself as he absolutely nails the character in this video. Too bad it's not actually a character – it's 100 percent real life Charlie Sheen. In addition to quoting Sheen's many outrageous comments over the past few weeks, Fallon offers the former Two and a Half Men star a little bit of advice: "Dude, you're 45 with 5 kids, so sit in your little chairs in your big house with your bean bags and laugh and sit back and enjoy the ride. Buckle up cause it's gonna be a long one. It's gonna be bumpy. At one point you're gonna want to put your hands up – not legal – but they're taking a picture, digital photo, $25 when you get off the ride and you can buy a picture of you enjoying the whole Charlie Sheen ride." Some good advice Jimmy. Check out the HILARIOUS video below:  |

| What happens when an insect scientist develops invisible bug syndrome? Posted: 02 Mar 2011 10:49 PM PST
 Approximately 100,000 Americans are afflicted with Ekbom Syndrome, a psychological disorder in which sufferers believe that they're infested with insects. Ekbom sufferers are reluctant to get psychological treatment, as they believe bugs are the cause of their discomfort. And when an entomologist suffers from Ekbom Syndrome, the result is one of the most skin-crawling scientific papers imaginable. Vaughan Bell of Mind Hacks has brought to our attention the case of University of Massachusetts entomologist Jay Traver. In 1950, Traver thought her body was infected with dermatophagoides, or the common house dust mites. Dermatophagoides live in bedding, eat sloughed-off human skin cells, and can trigger allergies, but they don't parasitize humans. You can see why people would be somewhat perturbed by Traver's discovery. In 1951, Traver published her dealings with the phantom insect attacks in Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington. Her paper — "Unusual Scalp Dermatitis in Humans Caused by the Mite, Dermatophagoides (Acarina, epidermoptidae)" — is an uncomfortably visceral account of Ekbom Syndrome: Invasion of the eyes was not confined to the period immediately following the use of the mercuric iodide soap, but continued for many days thereafter, this invasion occurring mostly between midnight and 3 a.m. The victim of their attack would have fallen into a light sleep, when a sharp pin-prick-like sensation in one eye, followed by an immediate response on the part of the already badly swollen eye would drive sleep away quite effectively. The movements of a mite that had entered under the eyelid could be felt as it crawled slowly about, then began to 'dig in' at which moment the eye suddenly became even more swollen than before. An almost continuous flow of lachrymal secretion seemed to attract the mites and made vision difficult. At no time, however, was there evidence of the formation of pus in the affected eyes. Later in the paper, Traver visits a dermatologist, who in turn recommends that she receive psychiatric treatment (Traver declines): A dermatologist, recommended by a local physician, was apparently convinced without more than a very casual examination, that the patient's symptoms were largely imaginary, those that did exist having been caused by an ill-advised attempt on the part of the patient to rid herself of something that was not there. Not until three days after my visit to his office, however, did he tell me this. [...] After the third day in the hospital, he turned me over to a neurologist for treatment of my 'psychoneurotic' condition. The patient, however, succeeded in convincing the neurologist that she had no need of his services. You can read more about Ekbom Syndrome in this recent paper by University of Georgia entomologist Nancy Hickle (NCBI). [Photo via Jonathan Fox's Flickr]  |
| Man Arrested for Making ‘Cat Bombs’ Posted: 02 Mar 2011 10:47 PM PST
 West Virginia's Brian Bailey don' like dem wiley cats runnin' 'round on his property so much. So ya see, he took a lil' bit of toilet bowl cleaner and some of that tin foil and threw it in a plastic bottle, so that when he threw it at the lil' sumbitches, it goes BOOM in their faces and scare the lil' bastards away. But now the cops don't like Bailey so much, as they've arrested him for illegal possession of explosives. Aw, shucks! [Herald-Mail]  |
