USELESS INFORMATION #1

STEM CELL RESEARCH HAS ALREADY GONE SO FAR TO HEAL DAMAGES HEARTS, SAVE LIMBS, EVEN MAKE THE PARALYZED WALK AGAIN. BUT BECAUSE OF ETHOLOGICAL REASONS WE CAN’T DO ANY OF IT FOR ANYONE. 

I just read this article on my new hero. He’s the guy that i would put on my myspace page of who i’d like to meet. His name is Robert Lanza and he’s one of those people that could have actually saved my dad’s life.  He is HOPE. This interview is stomach dropping because there is stuff out there that can take so much misery and death from people that need it now. Here’s a few excerpts from this interview In Discover Magazine:

What else are you storing, still unfunded, in the vault?

We have cells that reverse paralysis in sheep that have spina bifida and can’t walk. After we injected our cells, the first animal that we treated returned to normal and was walking fine. The same model could work for paralyzed humans, but without funding, we haven’t been able to repeat the experiment in five years. People are in wheelchairs when there could be a cure.

A few years ago a woman contacted me. In the course of chemotherapy for a tumor, something must have been activated, and for some unknown reason the glial cells in her cerebellum had started to degenerate. She was a lady with all these kids. Slowly she started to lose her ability to talk. She began to use a walker. She got worse and worse, and then, not long ago, she died.

Do more googling on Robert Lanza and see what’s out there for stem cell research.

Behind the Masks.

This DJ duo from Italy can turn an ordinary club into the most intense electro-music party of the night. Many critics, party-goers, DJ’s of the scene, and fans have raved non-stop about how enticingly electrifying their beats are. They really make the party what it is, and never leave the crowd empty-handed. We know their music is amazing shittt, but what is the philosophy behind the culture of bloody beetroots? They draw inspiration from past hip-hop, punk, electro productions and also Sex Pistols. With the outrageous head banging tracks and remixes with a diverse group of artists like Timbaland and Congorock, you would think these guys have no limits when it comes to music production. But in actuality, they do. They love making music and the only way to get people to dance is to dance with them. Get more insight from the music of BB at Trashmenagerie.com

It’s the "Drugs"

Now I’ve raved about Felix Cartel in the past, and now I’m doing it again.  ”Drugs” is now my new obsession. The reigning DJ from Vancouver never seems to disappoint with any remixes that he’s laid out.  This track is at it’s best when amplified! The beats are erratic and you can’t help but head-bounce to it’s tectonic sounds.  The track has made it’s way in many mix-tapes and used as background music for some top runway shows. It’s definitely something to grab and make sure to pump the volume up when you do!
