Overnight tonight, Saturday July 28 to early morning Sunday July 29th, will be the zenith of the annual Delta Aquarid meteor shower. This shower is not expected to be overwhelmingly prolific because the waxing gibbous moon will be bright in the sky drowning out most of the duller meteors. The full moon is only a few days away on August 2nd.
The moon will be setting after midnight, so you can still head out and try and catch a few. The peak meteor rate for this particular shower... Read More |

| It's once more time for the Olympics and over the next 16 days of glory we'll get Bob Costas spinning us a 1000 different human interest stories out of the actual sports that are going on. I do thoroughly enjoy the Olympics for the games, especially since we don't get to see many of these except for every four years. I get enough excitement out of the actual winning, losing, competition, and athletics. I don't care too much about the fluff. That's why the Opening Ceremonies usually don't appeal... Read More |

All the speculation about trades or free agency can now end, Cole Hamels signed a contract extension with the Phillies for 6 years worth $144 million. That will keep the left hander with the club through 2018, with a club option for 2019.
Hamels gave Philadelphia every chance to be the first ones to sign the ace pitcher. The native of San Diego has grown to call Philadelphia his home. He has played every year of his 7-year career here in Philadephia after being selected 17th by... Read More |

| Today was Day 3 at the Firefly Music Festival and the sun finally made an appearance or two for Sunday, but didn't bear down on the crowds. It made for a very pleasant day in Dover, DE for concert goers whether they were weekend weary campers or day passers taking this all in for the time. The lines for the free Arcade were still long (especially the Skeeball) and if you wanted to design your own Toms shoes (after purchase of course) I think you had to get in line sometime Friday. The hot air... Read More |

| Saturday, Day 2, at the Firefly Music Festival in Dover, DE, ended with a bang from the pyrotechnics of mainstage headliners The Killers, but there was plenty of action through out the earlier part of the day. The weather was again very cool and cloudy, with a few sprinkles throughout the day. It was very comfortable for a festival held in the middle of a mid-Atlantic summer. It feels like early April. The sun will indeed come out tomorrow, but still only reach about 80. The British isles type... Read More |

This centrally locates it to many of the Mid-Atlantic's large cities including New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, DC. There haven't been many multi-day festivals so easily accessible to fans along the East Coast. Firefly comes complete with... Read More |

Wawa has now expanded way down south to Florida. Today, Florida Governor Rick Scott and Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer joined Wawa executives Howard Stoeckel and Chris Gheysens at the opening of their first store in Orlando. The Philadelphia based convenience chain plans to open another Orlando store and two in nearby Kissimmee in the coming weeks with another in Tampa later. Hopefully they'll be able to satisfy Florida's appetite for soda, ice, snacks, cigarettes, and of course hoagies.

| An airplane flew around State College today towing a sign that read, "TAKE THE STATUE DOWN OR WE WILL." The statue referred to in the sign is believed to be the bronze statue of the late former head football coach Joe Paterno that is standing outside Beaver Stadium on the campus of Penn State. Paterno's name has been tarnished in the wake of the Freeh report into the University's handling of allegations of sexual assault by former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. The flying sign comes on the... Read More |
