25 year reunion of this fantastic RnB combo originally for Leeds & the north west.
Still crazy after all these years,guys!
Quite some time ago, three engineering students, at the then Leeds Poly, were desperately trying to find a way of avoiding any kind of work whatsoever, when they presently hit on the idea of making a great deal of noise by manipulating various musical instruments. 'Twas at this point that Simon, Tim & Iain formed what the history books will refer to as The Original Gravity Band. Originally the vocalisations were supplied by one Kevin Dobson, whose whereabouts today are not known. Stories of alien abduction are completely made up for the purposes of this bio and it's more likely that we just lost touch. (Kev, if you read this, give us a bell; We're sure you owe us all money!). Soon the services of Mr. Adrian Peever were enlisted, after Simon's glowing report that "he sings a bit ". Even though he was from Crewe we didn't hold this against him and asked if he would be interested in fronting the band. Pressure was relieved from his throat just enough to allow him to gargle "errgh, yeah" & the rest is, as they are said to say, history. The band immediately embarked on a relentless world tour over the next few years (mainly in the Leeds & Crewe areas) which saw them grace the stages of countless venues, such as the 'never-to-be-forgotten' Duchess of York (RIP), the Eagle Tavern (Hello Les!), The Express at Crewe (we didn't knack the window), The Duck and Drake (happy new yeeeaaaarrrghh!!) . . . It was always worth experiencing the band supporting landlord Les Moon's incredibly passionate version of 'High Heeled Sneakers'. And, then, of course, there is The indestructible Grove Inn. Who knows? perhaps one wet and curry-fragrant night, you'll be taking shelter in the longest shadow in Europe (what IS that damn thing? Is that King Kong swinging from the top?) when suddenly an ear-shattering racket will blast once more from behind a frosted pane . . .

Edited Hubble Space Telescope image of SDSS J1138+2754, a cluster of galaxies acting as a gravitational lens (the arc of light above the center of the image).
Original caption: Gravity is so much a part of our daily lives that it is all too easy to forget its awesome power — but on a galactic scale, its power becomes both strikingly clear and visually stunning. This image was taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) and shows an object named SDSS J1138+2754. It acts as a gravitational lens illustrates the true strength of gravity: A large mass — a galaxy cluster in this case — is creating such a strong gravitational field that it is bending the very fabric of its surroundings. This causes the billion-year-old light from galaxies sitting behind it to travel along distorted, curved paths, transforming the familiar shapes of spirals and ellipticals (visible in other parts of the image) into long, smudged arcs and scattered dashes. Some distant galaxies even appear multiple times in this image. Since galaxies are wide objects, light from one side of the galaxy passes through the gravitational lens differently than light from the other side. When the galaxies’ light reaches Earth it can appear reflected, as seen with the galaxy on the lower left part of the lens, or distorted, as seen with the galaxy to the upper right. This data were taken as part of a research project on star formation in the distant Universe, building on Hubble’s extensive legacy of deep-field images. Hubble observed 73 gravitationally-lensed galaxies for this project.

"I was worried you would be unable o get down from there." "it's interesting, the gravity pull along these walls allow us to walk down if we maintain a constant speed." -grippy walls along the a specific trail allowed placement of minifigs on its surface.

dublin, irlanda; 18/09/2009
Aunque parezca que no, fui a Dublin por trabajo. Claro que viendo que las fotos son de bares y tal... en fin.
Al tema. Este es el MARAVILLOSO Gravity Bar, situado en el último piso del Museo Guiness, en parte más alta de la antigua fábrica. El bar es panorámico, y salvo el trocito de ascensores y escaleras tiene ventanales a todo alrededor que dominan TODO Dublin.
Con la entrada al museo te 'regalan' una pinta -de Guiness, claro- que te puedes tomar en este bar. Espectacular.
Nos quedamos hasta que nos echaron y eso me permitió tomar esta foto sin gente, pero lo normal es que esté bastante animado.
Por supuesto sólo ponen música de grupos irlandeses. Palabras mayores.
This is a shirt I designed from the Sara Bareilles song "Gravity" featuring the lyric,
"You loved me 'cause I'm fragile, when I thought that I was strong"
From the official web site:
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics is a basic research centre dedicated to exploring the world around us at its most fundamental level. It began in the summer of 1999 when Mike Lazaridis, founder of Research in Motion and the innovator who was instrumental in launching the smart phone revolution, found himself in a position to help foster research and innovation in Canada by establishing a world-class institute devoted to theoretical physics.
Research
Since research operations began in the fall of 2001, the Institute has grown to include over 80 resident researchers who are involved in day-to-day operations. Additionally, the vigorous Visitor Program has enabled PI to host hundreds of international researchers each year for collaborations and workshops. The current groups involved with cross-disciplinary research include Condensed Matter, Cosmology & Gravitation, Particle Physics, Quantum Foundations, Quantum Gravity, Quantum Information Theory, Superstring Theory and related areas.
Training
Among activities that help develop future generations of scientists, is the innovative Perimeter Scholars International. This research training program exposes rising talent from around the world to the full spectrum of theoretical physics, bringing them rapidly to the leading edge of current research.
Outreach
In addition to the scientific operations, Perimeter Institute also shares the importance of basic research and the power of theoretical physics with the wider community. The award winning educational outreach team provides specifically crafted programs and educational resources for youth, teachers and members of the general public across Canada and beyond.
Funding
Perimeter Institute is an independent, non-profit, charitable organization focused on scientific research, training and educational outreach in theoretical physics. The Institute is funded through an innovative public-private partnership - uniting governments, individuals, corporations, and foundations in a shared enterprise to help advance scientific breakthroughs, nurture scientific talent, and share scientific discovery with the broader public.
Workplace
Perimeter Institute endeavors to foster an inclusive culture that embraces and celebrates the diversity of our organization. We are committed to providing a safe, comfortable, harassment-free working environment for all students, scientists, support staff and volunteers, regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, religion or place of origin. We have a zero tolerance policy towards any form of harassment, discrimination, or violence in the workplace. Trust and mutual respect are the basis of our community.
