Antarctica’s ocean flip: Satellites catch sudden salt surge melting ice from below
A massive and surprising change is unfolding around Antarctica. Scientists have discovered that the Southern Ocean is getting saltier, and sea ice is melting at record speed, enough to match the size of Greenland. This change has reversed a decades-long trend and is letting hidden heat rise to the surface, melting the ice from below. One of the most dramatic signs is the return of a giant hole in the ice that hadn’t been seen in 50 years. The consequences are global: stronger storms, warmer o…

What Other #PunkRock Tour Admits It's Age And Sets Up Its Own Museum?
Kevin Lyman's Tour That First Tried To Bring #Sublime To America Returns To The

LBC PRESS-TELEGRAM Vans Warped Tour’s 30th anniversary is a love letter to a scene that never died. Performances from day one included The All-American Rejects, A Day to Remember, Sublime, Pennywise, Silverstein, Black Veil Brides, and more. At Shoreline Waterfront in Long Beach, Sublime delivered a hometown set on the Vans Left Foot Stage during Warped Tour's 30th anniversary. (Photo by Holly Alvarado/SCNG)
Performance Highlights: From Tony Hawk to Long Beach Legends Goldfinger’s set brought one of the day's most unforgettable moments when skate legend Tony Hawk took the stage to sing “Superman,” the same track that helped define a generation via the Tony Hawks Pro Skater video game, released in '99. The crowd erupted, and fans like Ish Costales of Monrovia, California, were visibly emotional. “I used to waste hours playing that game as a kid to just forget about school and life,” Costales said.…
“Need a shirt that says ‘I survived Warped Tour,” one fan joked in the comments, a phrase that just about summed it up. Offstage: Record Labels, Skate Ramps & Museum Moments Beyond the music, the grounds paid homage to Warped’s roots. Skaters and BMX riders hit the half-pipe throughout the weekend, echoing the early days when action sports and punk rock were side-by-side.

You know what I really have about "long weekends"?
Not just the timetable changes — but the fact that for smaller bus companies, you just can't find any information whether they follow the regular timetable or the weekend timetable. And both timetables are so disjoint that you can't simply choose one bus that would run either way.

This weekend is the last chance to say goodbye to our local West Montrose Covered Bridge ("Kissing Bridge"). The historic 145 year old span of the Grand River is the last remaining original one in #Ontario. It will be replaced over the next 2 years by a rebuilt covered bridge, with hopefully many of the original elements reused.

The entrance to an old red covered bridge is seen with a blue historical plaque to the side.
