Description: FLIGHT Exhibits: It may be aptly subtitled "The first 100 years of aviation". Inspired by the effortless gliding of gulls and the annual marathons of migratory birds, man has always dreamt of flying. From Leonardo's drawings through experiments with kites and gliders, came the breakthrough of those meticulous engineers - the Wright Brothers.
The exhibition pays homage to the pioneers and then skips through the 20th century to set summer-holiday flights and daily airport operations in their technical and social context.
Wannabe pilots and day-dreaming songwriters are catered for equally in a hands-on exhibition with cultural counterpoints. |

Description: Transporter Bridge, Ferry Road, Middlesbrough, TS2 1PL Tel: +44 (0)7000 286433 Email: bookings@ukbungee.co.ukWeb: http://www.ukbungee.co.uk Bungee jumping at the Transporter Bridge takes place every third and forth Saturday or Sunday morning of the month between 9am and 1.30pm. The 'jumpers' need to book the jump and report to the Visitor Centre on the Sunday morning. They are then registered, weighed and have to sign an indemnity form, then they are fitted with a harness before being taken up to the top walkway of the bridge. Once they are on the top walkway they are weighed again and fitted with the required bungee rope for their weight. They bungee off the centre of the bridge 160 feet above the river. They are then lowered into a boat on the river and transferred back to the shore. Do you think you are up for the challenge? If so, the dates for 2009 are as follows:

Description: "A day without laughter is a day wasted"
"Charley Chaplin"
What is his act like? Think of the observational humor of Jerry Seinfeld meeting the energy of Robin Williams and the warmth of Bill Cosby. With every performance Charles takes his audience on a comedic roller coaster ride, exploring every subject from product names, commercials and growing up, to dating and family life.
I'm Not Crazy, but I Might Be a Carrier: Infectious Inspiration from Comedian Charles Marshall In addition to his reputation for excellence and originality, Charles is also known for his ability to produce roll-in-the-aisles humor while avoiding all vulgarities and obscenities. An upbeat comic, Charles also avoids all negative/insult humor in his program. He is adept at involving his audiences and an expert at finding the humor in the minutiae of life.

Acclaimed War Casualties Exhibition in Melbourne FL
Sat. Nov. 28, 2009
10am - 5pm
Wells Park, 635 Hibiscus Blvd. Melbourne FL (next to the Melbourne Auditorium)
Over 245 Pairs of Combat Boots Representing U. S. Soldiers from Florida who have fallen in the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars and Civilian Casualties to be memorialized.
The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) in cooperation with the Peace Coalition Of Brevard, and local patriots will honor fallen U.S. military personnel and civilians with it's traveling exhibition: Eyes Wide Open: The Cost of War to Florida.
EYES WIDE OPEN : The Cost of War to Florida focuses on the specific costs of war to the state of Florida. The exhibit includes 245 pairs of boots representing fallen servicemen and women from Florida, and a visual representation of civilian casualties. This exhibit is part of AFSC's national Eyes Wide Open: The Human Cost of War network.
AFSC, a Nobel Peace Prize recipient is an international social justice organization. AFSC first created Eyes Wide Open: The Human Cost of War to illustrate the lives lost in the war in Iraq. It opened in Chicago's Federal Plaza with just over 500 pairs of boots in January 2004. The national exhibit was last displayed on Memorial Day weekend 2007 with over 3,400 pairs of boots. This was the last time that the entire death toll was represented in one location. Since then the exhibition has been divided into state displays and traveled throughout the nation to smaller cities and towns. All the state exhibits combined now include more than 5271 pairs of combat boots representing U.S. military casualties in both the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars.
"The exhibit will be a site of quiet reflection and thought. Join us in the spirit of this solemn occasion. Let us make November 28th a day of reflection and spiritual transformation that honors those who have died and renews our commitment to create a more peaceful world."
-- Vicki Impoco, Florida State Coordinator EYES WIDE OPEN
The American Friends Service Committee is a Quaker organization that includes people of various faiths who are committed to social justice, peace and humanitarian service. It's work is based on the belief in the worth of every person and faith in the power of love to overcome violence and injustice.
