Niagara Falls Freezes Over Again - Feb 19, 2015!
Feb 19, 2015
Frigid temperatures by the Great Lakes are giving tourists a whole new reason to visit Niagara Falls. The famous waterfalls by the Canada-U.S. border were partially frozen this week as temperatures in the area hit 13 degrees below zero on Monday. Though the falls were hardly frozen solid—water continued to flow—layers of ice built up, giving the impression of a winter wonderland amid its icy mist and surrounding snow.

Jax Audition “I Want To Hold Your Hand” - American Idol 2015!
Jax is originally from New York, but grew up in East
Brunswick, NJ. Her father was a NYC
Jax hops on the piano and does a mellow, balladeer’s version of “I
Want To Hold Your Hand”. It’s absolutely stunning, and is right up there
with Joey Cook as one of my favorite auditions of the entire season so
far. Her vocal control is impeccable, and her tone is unlike anything
we’ve heard yet this season. She has a great look too, although a bit
too sparkly. Source
From the start, Jax has seemed naturally at-ease in a performance
setting. House of Blues is no different with Jax shuttling between piano
bench and mic stand like an old pro. Watch her dramatic rendition of
Lady Gaga’s “You and I” here.
Drones: Know The Rules Before You Fly!
Did you get a new unmanned aircraft for the holidays? Here's how to stay off the naughty list. Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), or drones as they are often called, are increasingly available online and on store shelves. Prospective operators—from consumers to businesses—want to fly and fly safely, but many don’t realize that, just because you can easily acquire a UAS, doesn’t mean you can fly it anywhere, or for any purpose. “Know Before You Fly” is an educational campaign that provides prospective users with the information and guidance they need to fly safely and responsibly. Know Before You Fly was founded by the three leading organizations with a stake in UAS safety – the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) and the Small UAV Coalition. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is partnering with the founding members to spread the word about safe and responsible flying. Source
