Scare Tactics

I never saw this show, and I am sure I wouldn't want to have been a participant. The concept is that one of your "friends" sets you up to be an unwitting victim in a hidden camera horror scene. While it is pretty funny for those in on the gag, I am not sure I would be as amused were I the victim. Regardless, I am showing a couple of scenes here - I hope I don't regret it.

Free Lunch for Internet users!

Thursday, August 21, 2008 - 9AM to Noon - lunch afterward - reservations required

Well, there is no such thing as a free lunch, but this one won't cost you any cash. ELS is considering the creation of a new social networking website especially for seniors - similar to MySapce.com, but no kids allowed. They have selected Coquina Crossing as their focus group. Coming here on Thursday, will be a representative, from New York, to discuss the idea with specific Internet users - those who own a computer and use it for email. If that sounds like you and you would like to express your thoughts and opinions, please make a reservation by calling Mary (at the front desk) at 810-5000, ext. 0. Call quickly, they can only accommodate sixty people.

Io

Thought to be the most volcanically active object in the solar system, Io, a moon of Jupiter, is constantly turning itself inside-out. Its surface is so active that there are no meteor craters - just volcanoes and lava flows. APOD
