In the 1970s Dock Ellis pitched a no-hitter on LSD and his outspoken

Brothers addicted to speed. At any price. Motorcycle road racing
is the most dangerous of all motor sports. One in which men compete at
speeds of up to 200 miles per hour on closed country roads. Roads that
are lined with trees, telegraph posts, stone walls. Ireland and the Isle
of Man are two of the few places in the world where the sport still
survives. Narrated by Liam Neeson, this is the dramatic and poignant
story of two sets of brothers from Northern Ireland who have dominated
road racing for over thirty years. Two generations of one family that
have been united by success. And united by tragedy.
Your chin, six inches from the pavement. Even bump and turn brings you closer to victory. Your only obstacle, is your own sense of fear and the knowledge that death lurks around every corner.
Kate Upton poses in zero gravity conditions for Sports Illustrated. The shoot took place on a specially modified Boeing-727, known as G-FORCE ONE, which performed a series of 17 parabolas – 13 zero gravity and four replicating lunar gravity – as Upton bounced and soared through the plane for the cameras.

NYC - What was once the mecca for graffiti art is no more.
The Wolkoff family, who own the building in Queens nicknamed "5Pointz" covered more
than a decade's worth of spray-paint art in the middle of the night. Artists likened it to an act of vandalism, as they had fought to have the building designated a landmark.
The area is scheduled to be developed into luxury condominiums. More than 1,500 artists reportedly used the 5Pointz warehouse
as a canvas, turning the formerly derelict brick building into a
tourist attraction.
The building is set for demolition by the end of the year as part of a
$400m project to build more than 1,000 luxury apartments, the New York
Times reports.
