New York City Says No to Large Sugary Drinks in Soda Ban
This is a game changer for sure! The city’s Board of Health approved Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s ban on large sugar-sweetened drinks at its monthly meeting Thursday morning. Nine members voted for it, and one abstained.
According to The Huffington Post, under the plan, all restaurants, fast-food joints, delis, movie theaters, sports stadiums and even food carts will be barred from selling sugar-sweetened drinks in cups larger than 16 ounces.
There is a bit of a public outcry as to why this would happen, and some store owners are also concerned sales may go down, but you have to admit, that’s a great way to combat obesity. Read more at the post above, Mayor Bloomberg had some interesting things to say. We’ll see if this lasts long term.
Electric Zoo 2012 Photo Gallery
Photo by Bennett Sell-Kline for ElectricZooFestival.com
This was one of the biggest festivals in the US this year, and we’ve got the photos to prove it! Over Labor Day weekend, Made Event presented Electric Zoo 2012, and once again transformed New York City’s Randall’s Island into a multiplex of music, lights and dancing, along with 100+ of the world’s best and brightest electronic music artists. The 3-day bonanza hosted 110,000 avid fans with sold-out capacity crowds on Saturday & Sunday.
Bigger than ever in its fourth year, Electric Zoo’s technological advances helped transform the festival landscape. Intellitix’s RFID technology was again embedded in wristbands to help festival-goers enter quickly through the front gates. The stadium-scale Main Stage featured high-resolution motion-controlled video panels that created a massive sense of scale, which could be reconfigured live to create unique looks for each individual artist. The Riverside Stage included custom-designed 3D LED technology used for the first time ever at a live electronic music show. Meanwhile, the Hilltop Arena saw a wall of LED panels and mirrors set at specific angles, working in tandem to bathe the tent in a sea of lights and lasers. And over at the Sunday School Grove, original custom-designed school buses integrated LEDs with 3D projection mapping to create an immersive mixed-media experience. In every tent, club-quality sound systems enveloped fans with impeccable sound engineered by Integral Sound.

Drake and Chris Brown get into Brawl at NYC Club
Where’s the beef? Well apparently it’s in NYC at W.I.P Nightclub. Drake and Chris Brown both happened to be partying there early in the AM last night, and that was where the altercation occurred. As you know, Drake and Chris Brown aren’t the best of friends. When Breezy used to date Rihanna, the word is Drake was getting busy with her. Meek Mill who was also present with Drake at WIP has been assumed to have dated Rihanna for a stint as well in the past. That’s where the bad blood begins.
So on to last night… There was some sort of exchange, and from there the two entourage’s met face-to-face where according to all sources, Drake threw a punch at Chris Brown, and then a member of Drake’s entourage thew a bottle at Breezy! Chris Brown took to Instagram to post a photo, and also a few tweets to express his disdain for the “bitch moves” of Drake and company.
We’ll have more on the story as we hear about it! Should get interesting! R & Beef!!!!!
