May 1, 1938 - This week Jack Benny's Maxwell was in a race for old cars, the Fresno State College Hack Race. He lost to Fred Allen's entry. In this episode they debate wether or not Jack Benny is considered a movie star. They mention Leo the MGM lion, movie producers Darrel F Zanuck and Adolf Zukor, the comedy team The Ritz Brothers, Screen gangster George Raft, Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies and Mickey, Donald and Pluto. Plus the 1927 boxing match known as "The Long Count". And the great silent film comedian Harold Lloyd.

This broadcast is a favorite legacy show that we produced under our old name Travel’n On and before re-branding as WORLD FOOTPRINTS. World Footprints will travel along the award-winning journalistic trails of the CRAZY RIVER, explore prehistoric Spirit Stones and contemplate the end of the world in Maya 2012. First, award-winning travel writer Richard Grant will take us through East Africa and down the Nile River. Despite escaping death in Mexico’s lawless Sierra Madre, an adventure he describes in his adventure classic God’s Middle Finger, Richard’s curiosity and restlessness took him to Africa, where he set off on another adventure-- to find the source of the Nile River. In his newest book, CRAZY RIVER: Exploration and Folly in East Africa, Richard writes that he had trained and prepared for a physical adventure in the wilderness, but his biggest challenges were intellectual. Then, award-winning author Dianne Ebertt Beeaff shares her transcending book, SPIRIT STONES, a historic exploration that took nearly a decade to complete. Dianne explores the enduring lessons of Western Europe’s prehistoric monoliths, stone circles and burial chambers. Finally, Joshua Berman offers some insights into Maya culture and events surrounding the end of the Maya calendar on December 21, 2012 in his new guide book MAYA 2012. Joshua has been traveling, living, teaching, and leading trips in Central America since 1998. During his travels he's heard tales about “lost worlds” and Maya pyramids. A predominate story that he encountered is what the Maya have been anticipating—the end of the Long Count, a 5,125-year cycle of the Maya calendar, which will occur on December 21, 2012. Some believe that it will be a peaceful transition while others warn it will be apocalyptic.

This week on Windy City Irish Radio, the lads pay tribute to the many contributions that the Irish have given to our country and mark some important landmarks in Irish-American history. As is often discussed on the show, Irish-Americans grew from hardscrabble roots to play a large part in building cities, infrastructure, railroads and canals in linking sea to shining sea. September marks the 190th anniversary of County Longford descendant and New York Governor DeWitt Clinton signing off on the building of the Erie Canal, which opened a waterway from the New York Harbor through to the Midwest and beyond. Tipperary man J.J. McShane was the first construction engineer on the project that employed tens of thousands of Irish immigrants leading up to the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825. September also marks the 90th anniversary of the famed Long Count, the fight between Irish-American boxing legends Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney. In addition to story time there is music from Kildare descendant and birthday boy Bruce Springsteen, Ryan Sheridan & Ronan Nolan, Beoga, Tupelo, Heron Valley, Connla, Hothouse Flowers, Eleanor McEvoy Music with Mary Coughlan, Sharon Shannon and Gemma Hayes, Marys Lane with Martin Furey, Scythian, Robbie O'Connell and Patrick Street. That's an awful lot to fit into one hour but look at that, we did it! Join us each and every Wednesday from 8PM to 9PM on WSBC 1240 AM and catch this week's podcast at www.windycityirishradio.com

In honor of our Nations’ heroes this Veterans Day, we are pleased to introduce you to animal trainer Clarissa Black, founder of Pets for Vets—an organization that serves both Veterans and shelter animals. The Pets for Vets program is dedicated to providing a second chance for shelter pets by rescuing, training and pairing them with America’s veterans who could benefit from a companion animal. Then CBS Soap fans will enjoy our interview with the dashing Don Diamont from the Bold and the Beautiful (B&B). Most known for his character as “Dollar Bill” Spencer on B&B and formerly as Brad Carlton on the Young and the Restless, Don joins us to talk about his illustrious film and television career and his work with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Finally, we have all heard about approaching end of the Maya calendar on December 21, 2012. Certainly Hollywood has sensationalized what the Maya are calling “the end of the Long Count”—a 5,125-year cycle of the Maya calendar. Some believe that it will be a peaceful transition while others warn it will be apocalyptic. We will introduce travel writer Joshua Berman and his new book Maya 2012 (Moon Travel Guides). Joshua will offer some insights into the predictions for next year as well as some suggestions on where travelers can experience the end of the Long Count. Throughout the show you'll hear clips from our interview with fashion designer Christian Siriano. Christian is the youngest winner of Bravo's "Project Runway" show and we met him during our coverage of 'Pink Rocks the Runway'--a fashion extravaganza that raises awareness and money for breast cancer research.

2012 QUETZACOATI http://www.miracleinternetchurch.com/contemplating-the-second-return-of-jesus-christ/internet-church-videos "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." — Philippians 2:5 2 Timothy 4:2-4 (KJV) Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. 3For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. The Greeks called the End of the Age the SUNTELIA AION Ancient historians and especially Plato referred to a cycle of catastrophe at the End of the Age. Since November, at least three new books on 2012 have arrived in mainstream bookstores. A fourth is due this fall. Each arrives in the wake of the 2006 success of 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, which has been selling thousands of copies a month since its release in May and counts more than 40,000 in print. The books also build on popular interest in the Maya, fueled in part by Mel Gibson's December 2006 film about Mayan civilization, Apocalpyto. Authors disagree about what humankind should expect on Dec. 21, 2012, when the Maya's "Long Count" calendar marks the end of a 5,126-year era. “Knowledge and all discernment; so that ye may prove the things that differ, that ye may be sincere and void of offence. . . .” Phil. 1: 9, 10.

Over 2,000 years ago the early Maya formulated a profound galactic cosmology. They saw that the sun, on the winter solstice, was slowly moving toward the heart of the galaxy. Naturally enough, with their uncorrupted intelligence intact, they suspected that the world would go through a transformation when the solar and the galactic planes aligned. They devised their Long Count calendar to target when the cosmic alignment would maximize, and that time is AD 2012.
