Online radio listeners help The Penguin Rocks become a Featured Station at StreamFinder.com, a massive online radio directory.

Belmar, NJ, June 18, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Running an online radio station is basically a labor of love. Few ever make money from it, and even fewer care about such things. The station owners do it because they love music. It’s more than just a hobby; it’s basically a second job. But every now and then station owners are reminded just why all of the time and money spent behind the station is worth it. For Gary Wien, Program Director at ThePenguinRocks.com, that reminder came when his station was named a Featured Station on StreamFinder.com, one of the largest internet radio directories on the web.

Newswise — Aggression in school-age children may have its origins in children 3 years old and younger who witnessed violence between their mothers and partners, according to a new Case Western Reserve University study.

“People may think children that young are passive and unaware, but they pay attention to what’s happening around them,” said Megan Holmes, assistant professor of social work at the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences at Case Western Reserve in Cleveland.

Between three and 10 million children witness some form of domestic violence each year, according the National Center for Children Exposed to Violence.

*Meandering w/ Mark Matthews: Franklin's Paine Skate Park. Philly and Skaters Get it Right

Mark Matthews
CNBNews 

Last month Philadelphia and the skater community completed a 10 yr effort to do something amazing.  Something that works.  Something that made me think "wow, how does this happen?".   An awesome new skatepark... one like you've never seen before... opened in the city in a location that is as perfect as the park design itself. 

And its completely free. 

Ask anyone where the best skateboard locations were to be found, and most would probably say California.  But if you had to pick an East Coast King, there is no doubt it is Philadelphia.  Two locations became world famous decades ago, Love park and its at times taken over by skaters concrete walls, and FDR Park... the skater built, city seems to look the other way, organically grown park that really is one of a kind.  So famous are these two gems, that the best selling Tony Hawk video games have put playable versions into the game series.

But its not always love between the city and the skaters. Love Park and the City Hall grounds have been a key battle ground, and back in 2003 Mayor Street offered up a piece of real estate to the skater community if they could come up with the funding to build it.   And while up close it may not have been much to look at, it really is a prime location... not tucked away under a bridge or along some endless path.  The land is located almost in the shadow of the Philadelphia's most famous Art venue, the Philadelphia Art Museum.  And in the 10 years since that offer was made, the Schuylkill Banks trail which passes along side it, has turned into an amazing place to visit on its own (more on that in another post).  

So now 10 years later it has happened.  The park is open. Who knows if back in 2003 Mayor Street was privately laughing when he made the offer "How are a bunch of skaters going to raise the money for this?"

But raise money they did.

$4.5 Million worth.

*Meandering w/ Mark Matthews: A sign from Gloucester's newest bar The Hog and Bull

UPDATE: Grand opening is Friday June 14th.
Website
The shortest post ever...  drove by the new bar / restaraunt on Rt 130 and noticed the signs are up.  The Hog and Bull must be getting close to opening.  I saw an SUV out front when I first passed, but I was late for an appointment and couldn't stop.  When I came back an hour or so later, they were gone.  Not really any clues to indicate a major construction.  I am hoping the large stage that O'Malleys had a few years ago has still survived.  

Most recently it was called D'Place and the Facebook photo seem to show that the stage is still there, as well as the large center bar.   Its a big place!

So "Hog and Bull".... Country Bar?   Biker Friendly Bar?   BBQ place??  What's your guess, or do you know?
