It's a bear out there! Come join us Saturday, at 1 pm Eastern, to hear our Artisans Teams and Groups show with Lily of TulipsTreasureBox as she interviews Shelley, of the Artist Bears and Friends Team.

What IS the Artist Bears and Friends Team?

From their Etsy Team Page:
We are a collective of artists who make soft-sculptured collectibles produced in the image of a bear and/or any other real or imaginary creature. These collectibles are knitted crocheted, needle felted or stitched with an external covering of yarn, mohair, wool, plush or other fabric including real fur and leather. They may be jointed, partially jointed, or un-jointed. Their common denominator is that none of them are intended or safe for children.

http://team.etsy.com/viewteam.php?id=407

Join us as we learn more about this fun team, their work and the artists in the team!

We promise it'll be a BEARY good time!

(Sorry, I couldn't help myself...)

Gooooooooood Morning Blockheads!!

A top of the morning to you me folks!! (that was my Irish accent..)

I thought I'd bring you some odd news in the spirit of the Morning Brew Ha Ha (Weekdays, 9 am Eastern here on www.blockheadradiolive.com)

New York's maple syrup mystery smell solved

NEW YORK (Reuters) – A mysterious, maple syrup-like odour that has periodically wafted over New York City since October 2005 has been linked to New Jersey fragrance processing plants, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said on Thursday.

Fragrance and food additive factories in nearby New Jersey where fenugreek seeds are processed are the "probable source" of the odour, Bloomberg told a news conference at City Hall.

The odour has attracted media attention and hundreds of complaints from city residents.

"Given the evidence, I think it's safe to say that the 'Great Maple Syrup Mystery' has finally been solved," Bloomberg said.

The city had assured residents that the odour was not harmful, but it was not able to explain its source until now.

The mystery was solved after city agencies matched complaints by their geographic location against information about winds and atmospheric conditions.

"The health department confirmed that the odour does not pose a health risk, but I am pleased to know that our ... smelling sleuths got to the bottom of this mystery," Bloomberg said.

Amy the possum here...I can tell you from my breastfeeding days..fenugreek STINKS! So that must've been one heck of a stench!

And I just thought it was Witchy stirring up some new brew....

It's ALMOST the WEEKEND!

YES! It is ALMOST the weekend people!! Let's enjoy a break together and join us Friday nights at 8 pm Eastern, for Friday Night Free For All (FNFFA)!! Join Blockhead Rod as he spins the tunes, and join in chat for some laughs!! Call in if you are so inclined also!!

Blockhead Rod will be taking song requests via chat and phone so get your requests ready! A popular one is, "Hey, Rod, play that one, you know the one that goes, la la?" Oh he LOVES that!

Come on doooown, you KNOW you want to!!
