Ten Years Ago, Paul Simon Sang For Us in Danbury - i95rock.com

Did you know that Paul Simon performed some of his timeless classics in Danbury ten years ago? For only a couple hundred lucky people? Paul Simon, on-stage at the Matrix Conference & Banquet Center? I took a few crappy photos, but I found a great video of the show on YouTube.

The Matrix is now The Summit at Danbury, it's right off I-84 and Old Ridgebury Road. But on Saturday night January 26, 2013, it wasn't an office building, it was alive and rocking to the sweet sounds of a rock and roll hall of famer, with a Legendary New York Yankee by his side.

Hillside Food Outreach is a local non-profit that has provided food to those in need throughout the greater Danbury area for years. Hillside holds events throughout the year to keep their food pantry stocked, New York Yankee legend Bernie Williams has donated his time and efforts to Hillside and their events for years. Bernie is an incredible musician by the way. Hillside's main fundraiser in 2013 was called "Speak Out Against Hunger", and it was announced just prior that Paul Simon was going to play at the event.

I was lucky enough to score a couple of tickets for my wife and I, and sure enough, Rhymin' Simon made his way into the room, and all of us gasped. It was amazing to see two celebrities of their stature on stage together. Paul Simon is New York City, but damn, it's Bernie too. Simon performed a few songs, I remember Me & Julio Down by the Schoolyard, and haunting versions of The Boxer and Mrs. Robinson.

Here's a video from Rock Star Events that I found on YouTube -

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
