Cinema Arts Centre and Long Island Friends of WBAI Radio present
THE FIRST VOICES:
LISTEN WE MUST
To undo the long-standing injustices visited by force
on the First Peoples of the two continents
In the Beginning the Sioux and the Kicha were among the First Voices raised on the two great masses of earth surrounded by sky and water. And then from across the great water men with guns came and seized their lands... And invented new names for them: Indians, Native Americans, the first Americans... they had their own names.
Sunday, October 4, 9:30am - 1:30pm
Program includes Native American music, dance, film, panel discussion and food
All Tickets for this Special Benefit: $25 Public
Tickets can also be purchased at the box office during theater hours
or by calling Brown Paper Tickets toll free at 1-800-838-3006.

''Through The Window'' Lord Shinx Ft., I, AVISION
This is a production I was involved with a few years ago, produced and engineered by Sphinx of Defected Records, damn, this is real Hip-Hop...
just thought you all would want to know a little bit about food irradiation
Food irradiation[1] is the process of exposing food to ionizing radiation to destroy microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, or insects that might be present in the food. Further applications include sprout inhibition, delay of ripening, increase of juice yield, and improvement of re-hydration. Irradiation is a more general term of deliberate exposure of materials to radiation to achieve a technical goal (in this context 'ionizing radiation' is implied). As such it is also used on non-food items, such as medical hardware, plastics, tubes for gas-pipelines, hoses for floor-heating, shrink-foils for food packaging, automobile parts, wires and cables (isolation), tires, and even gemstones. Compared to the amount of food irradiated, the volume of those every-day applications is huge but not noticed by the consumer.
The genuine effect of processing food by ionizing radiation involves damage to DNA, the basic genetic information for life. Microorganisms can no longer proliferate and continue their malignant or pathogenic activities. Spoilage-causing micro-organisms cannot continue their activities. Insects do not survive, or become incapable of proliferation. Plants cannot continue the natural ripening or aging process.[1]
The speciality of processing food by ionizing radiation is that the energy density per atomic transition is very high; it can cleave molecules and induce ionization (hence the name), which is not achieved by mere heating. This is the reason for both new effects and new concerns. The treatment of solid food by ionizing radiation can provide an effect similar to heat pasteurization of liquids, such as milk. However, the use of the term "cold pasteurization" to describe irradiated foods is controversial, since pasteurization and irradiation are fundamentally different processes.
Food irradiation is currently permitted by over 40 countries, and the volume of food so treated is estimated to exceed 500,000 metric tons annually world wide.

Lil' Skrappy Boy from a boy to manhood
Jimmy grew up on the hard streets of Long Beach. This pod follows Jimmy's life changing decision to quit a Cambodian gang and we see as he is initiated into the possibility of hope for a better future.

Breathing Heavens Air- By AVISION
Just thought I'd post a poem, I'll be doing this more often so please be sure to take a peek every now and again.....
The hemisphere's of our brains, synchronized to function as one, while the moon overpowered the sun. We kissed beneath the event of a solar eclipse. Her back arched, our pupils dilated, a star burst forth in some other galaxy, the quantum effect of our sacred union, whispered an angel... We ascended into the center of a darkened moon, we were no longer lovers in a darkened room, but transfigured vessels in heavens womb, emitting energy that extended beyond the stellar bounds of Neptune. Her soft hands gently folded into mine, like an ocean tide into the shore. Hearts pounding , consciousness blooming out of our minds, like light reflecting from a sword or rather, like water Lilly's from a pond. Tat, the cherished son of Hermes Trimegistus, adorned us with golden halos, halos considered to be the cosmic crowns of those who love with authentic, virtuous expression. We continued to rise up further into the monad, like two ionic particles glittering in sunlight, a glorious transcendence. We were thrust upward into space like streams of light, leaving behind our images, roaring into the aurora, a heart piercing howl. A splendid dance ascending like a helix. All this transpiring in a small, one bedroom studio in Brooklyn, where profound thoughts and feelings coalesced, neurons fluctuated and souls caressed, finally catching the invigorating attention of GOD, uncovering us with extraordinary light.... Love stood up, unashamed, attentive in it's most concentrated form, exposed, like a new born child, and although I have been alive for some time now, I was born on the day we made love, but even till this day, like a new born child fresh out of a mothers womb, loves residue still remains...
My body desperately yearning to breath again... Her touch is my redemption, her kiss is my absolution, and although I am bound by love, I am set free to explore her uncharted realms, pleasant discoveries inspire me to live, crying with each ray of light that graces the frame of my existence.
Together we divide time from space, rupturing the etheric fabric of this 3rd dimension, gazing momentarily into the overwhelming, silent glory, of supernal consciousness. Suspended in a cosmic embrace, as one life form, we lose sight of ourselves, hoping to be absorbed into infinity... Behold!, look how far love has taken us!, Love has lead us from the cold damp caverns of our ancestors, beneath the sandy waves of the deserts, through the valleys, over the oceans deep, into the fires of passion, carried out unscathed. Love held us over the endless void of insanity, only to refine us and prepare us for the ultimate encounter, the grand expression of the immense potential that lies dormant within us.
A gasp for air, the glimmer of the morning sun on my eyelash, and there I lay, in a small one bedroom studio, in Brooklyn, in her arms...

My Random Cosmic Thoughts and quotes
The universe will take care of you and provide opportunities for you, but only if you're willing to Live and Love. We create the probabilities of destiny with action, without action destiny is non-existent.
We have to save ourselves by facing ourselves, because no one can save you from yourself, but you...
We may realize that once we get to the top and have everything we think we need, the realization is, you never really ever needed anything at all, but Love.
