Introduced in 1981 by a Harlem, New York City resident named “Al Bm,” the dance was initially referred to as “albee” after his name, but later became known as the Harlem Shake as its prominence grew beyond the neighborhood. The popularity of the dance reached its peak around 2001, when it was featured or referenced in songs by several New York-based hip hop artists such as Jadakiss, Cam’ron and P. Diddy.

Headline Tag: Television Rating: Amazing Hits: 675 Comments: 0 Martin Gardner: The Nature Of Things Martin Gardner: The Nature Of Things David Suzukis The Nature of Things featured an entire piece on Gardner, from his math buddies to the sleight-of-hand circles he frequented. Martin Gardner (born October 21, 1914[1], Tulsa, Oklahoma) is an American mathematics and science writer specializing in recreational mathematics, but with interests encompassing micromagic, stage magic, pseudoscience, literature (especially the writings of Lewis Carroll), philosophy, scientific skepticism, and religion. He wrote the Mathematical Games column in Scientific American from 1956 to 1981, and he has published over 70 books User: Pantufas Oct 4, 2012 11:01 AM
Headline Tag: New York Rating: Good Hits: 762 Comments: 0 Linda's Film on Menstruation (1974) Linda's Film on Menstruation (1974) A 1974 film about menstruation financed by the Creative Artists Public Service Program of the New York State Council of the Arts(CAPS), a program that ran from 1970 to 1981. Fifteen year old Judy has just gotten her first period and tries to explain it to her befuddled boyfriend Johnny. In contrast to most menstruation films, we never see Judy's mother or older sister share her experience with her. There's only a cartoon character named Francine, who mysteriously appears on TV to talk about female anatomy and to remind girls to use birth control. The filmmakers also asked both men and women on the street in Manhattan for their feelings about menstruation and got some great responses. User: spam_vigilante Sep 5, 2012 8:47 AM

Unmoderated Tag: Politics Rating: No Votes Hits: 111 Comments: 0 Aids 2012: Turning the Tide Aids 2012: Turning the Tide In 1981, the Centers for Disease Control issued its first warning about a new disease. We had trouble naming this disease, understanding and caring for the people who were infected, and facing down our own fears. But people would not be silent. Communities mobilized to fight HIV/AIDS. We gained the knowledge to create stronger medications, and found new tools to prevent HIV transmission. Instead of helping people die, we turned to helping people live. Now, together, we are saving lives and scaling up. We can see an AIDS-Free Generation. We can turn the tide on this epidemic. Jul 22, 2012 11:03 AM

Unmoderated Tag: Television Rating: Good Hits: 357 Comments: 0 Doctor Who: Regeneration (All the Doctor's Regenerations 1963: 2010) Doctor Who: Regeneration (All the Doctor's Regenerations 1963: 2010) All the Doctor's regenerations 1963 - 2010. * All footage taken from the original episodes (along with original audio) 1. William Hartnell - Patrick Troughton: The Tenth Planet, Part 4 (1966) * The First Doctor dies of old age / exhaustion due to the energy drain on the planet Mondas. 2. Patrick Troughton - Jon Pertwee: The War Games, Part 10 (1969) * The Second Doctor is exiled to Earth by the Time Lords and is forced to regenerate. 3. Jon Pertwee - Tom Baker: Planet Of The Spiders, Part 6 (1974) * The Third Doctor dies of radiation poisoning from the crystals of Metabelis Three. 4. Tom Baker - Peter Davison: Logopolis, Part 4 (1981) * The Fourth Doctor falls from the Pharos Project radio telescope and merges with the Watcher. 5. Peter Davison - Colin Baker: The Caves Of Androzani, Part 4 (1984) * The Fifth Doctor dies of spectrox toxaemia exposure on Androzani Minor. 6. Colin Baker - Sylvester McCoy: Time And The Rani, Part 1 (1987) * The Sixth Doctor regenerates when the Rani shoots down the TARDIS. 7. Sylvester McCoy - Paul McGann: Doctor Who: The Movie (1996) * The Seventh Doctor is shot by a gang member, then dies while being operated on in hospital. 8. Paul McGann - Christopher Eccleston: No official regeneration exists. (This video features a fanmade regeneration created by Mulett.) * The Eighth Doctor's reason for regenerating is unknown. 9. Christopher Eccleston - David Tennant: The Parting Of The Ways (2005) * The Ninth Doctor dies of cellular degeneration caused by absorbing the energies of the Time Vortex. 10. David Tennant - Matt Smith: The End Of Time, Part 2 (2010) * The Tenth Doctor dies of radiation poisoning caused by the faulting power supply of the Immortality Gate. TRIVIA: * The Doctor can regenerate two more times for a total of 12 regenerations (and 13 incarnations of the Doctor) according to Doctor Who mythology. * The Second Doctor was never seen to actually change into the Third, simply fading off into darkness at the end of 'The War Games' (1969) and then stumbling out of the TARDIS, already regenerated, at the start of 'Spearhead From Space' (1970). Both scenes are included in this video. * Colin Baker declined to appear in his regeneration scene after being fired by the BBC, so the regeneration in 'Time And The Rani' (1987) features Sylvester McCoy in a blond wig regenerating into the Seventh Doctor. * No official regeneration of Paul McGann into Christopher Eccleston exists. Nine years had passed between the 1996 TV movie & the 2005 series, and producer Russell T Davies felt that beginning the 2005 series with a regeneration would be too confusing for new viewers. (My thanks to Mulett for creating the McGann to Eccleston regeneration seen in this video.) * In 'The Stolen Earth / Journey's End' (2008) the Tenth Doctor partially-regenerates after being shot by a Dalek, but aborts the regeneration by redirecting the energy to his severed hand. It has never been officially stated whether this used up a regeneration or not (See it in my video "Regeneration 2 - New Beginnings.") * The BBC's Doctor Who FAQ suggests that now the Time Lords are gone, the Doctor may be able to circumvent the limit on regenerations; it says: "Now that his people are gone, who knows? Time Lords used to have 13 lives." * Intro/Outro Theme: M??bius by Floorten. http://whomix.windbubbles.net/remix/41 * The music over the McGann - Eccleston regeneration is called 'The Doctor's Theme (Pappenheim Remix)' by Murray Gold.
