The Solution to the BP Oil Spill: Microbes

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Currently, BP oil executives are sitting around scratching their heads trying to figure out a way to fix their “little” spill and save money.It turns out that a solution has been in from of their faces the whole time and has already been used in previous oil spills and also been proven to be safe for the environment. The Texas Land Office and Texas Water Commission successfully used ‘oil eating’ microbes to clean up large oil spills in just weeks. Microbes hunt down and eat the toxic oil and leave only a biodegradable waste that is non-toxic to humans and marine life. Marshland and beaches were pristine again in just weeks…not years like the Exxon Valdez spill. This is the answer to save the seafood industry and all the precious creatures we are about to kill…if we don’t act fast.

We at Sack Magazine encourage readers to at least spread the word that there is a solution out there and encourage others to inform the public and possibly use the upcoming elections as leverage to put pressure on BP to clean this mess before it spreads to Maine and ruins all that delicious Maine lobster.

Ronald Jenkees…someone get this guy to a big stage

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Ronald Jenkees is an American composer and musician from Kentucky, best known for his Youtube keyboard performances, coverage on G4 TV’s Attack of the Show! and an appearance in Paste Magazine. His YouTube videos have been viewed (in total) over 39,000,000 times. Jenkees has thus far released two independent albums: the self-titled Ronald Jenkees (2007), and Disorganized Fun (2009). Jenkees first began playing music at 4 years old when he received a toy keyboard as a Christmas gift. With it, he learned simple melodies and played with friends. While still at a young age, he received a YamahaPSR-500. He attempted piano lessons in the seventh grade, but these were unsuccessful. Jenkees discovered how to sequence and layer music using his Yamaha keyboard, and began playing hip hop music. He joined a marching band in high school, and despite being unable to read sheet music, the band director let Jenkees create his own keyboard parts and “jam out” in state competitions. The band director encouraged Jenkees to learn to read music, but he continued to play by ear.

How this guy is still unsigned completely shocks me…cause he has true instinctive aesthetic talent. He was even featured on a STS9 album called, Peaceblaster: The New Orleans Make It Right Remixes, producing a remix of “Beyond Right Now”. If you like his tunes show him support and download his 2009 album Disorganized Fun HERE.
