In The Spotlight
FLATLAND BMX: America's Undiscovered Sport !
I stumbled upon a group of young men involved in a new sport in NYC while visiting Union Square. I'd gone to Union Square to support Critical Mass and vloggers who opposed NYC's new requirements for "permits" and "insurance" for people shooting video. I thought the "story" of Flatland BMX was quite interesting. Enjoy the show and the explanations.

Undiscovered America
The ideal vacation planner for people who've "been there, done that," this upbeat guide profiles a wealth of fascinating destinations, some of which may be well known regionally but virtually unknown nationally. In their most ambitious project to date, veteran travel writers Don and Betty Martin have selected the 250 very best hidden getaways, from Alaska to Florida and Hawaii to Maine. Undiscovered America, based on the authors' 35 years of travel, reveals intriguing vacations in all 50 states. These include an obscure but grand vacation island on the Great Lakes; California's best wine country (not Napa Valley!); a little-known Nevada town oozing with "cowboy cool"; and the world's oldest Shakespeare festival, which is not in England but in Oregon...The Most Scenic Drives in America

"Although you could probably find books on the Four corners, the Gulf Coast, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Chesapeake Bay, the Great Basin, the Ozarks, and the badlands/prairies of the Upper Midwest, it would take you a very long time, and a lot of money to find books covering these regions as well as they are covered in this single book.As usual, the National Geographic photographers have done an excellent job, particularly with the Upper Peninsula and the Four Corners..."

The Great American Road Trip
"I saw this for weeks at Barnes And Noble giving it cursory glances before deciding to buy it. By the time I did decide to buy it, the book was hard to find (B&N said is was "out of print/stock"). But I somehow did sniff one out with a sixth sense, almost as if I'd used a divining rod to find water in a desert of the B&N Superstore. The book is not meant to be Shakespeare and makes for a fun, informative read. Like the title here states the book provides a great roadtrip from the confines of a comfy chair. It's also a great companion at your favorite diner (roadtrips and diners go hand in hand, eh?). All the Americana and kitsch you could want is here for about $10. The pages contain a quick vacation in your mind when time or finances do not allow. Recommended!.." Customer reviewOffbeat Museums
In the 17th century-an age of exploration and scientific inquiry-Europe's parlor set entertained themselves by musing over private collections known as "cabinets of curiosities." Collectors gathered items for their educational as well as shock value. The result was haphazard, sensational displays featuring everything from art treasures to such exotic knickknacks as shrunken heads and dried kidney stones. Before newspapers and steamships, let alone computer networks and jet travel, this was how the world's marvels became known.Many of these early collections formed the basis for the world's first museums...
