DELMAR, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- In his quiet suburban home in Delmar, Phil Pascuzzo is hard at work—mainly designing the inviting covers that tempt you to pick up a good book. You’d never guess he’s the mind behind the iconic Twitter bird icon!"It’s so interesting, most people have no idea," laughs Pascuzzo. "It’s kind of like how Milton Glaser created the I love New York logo, but when you see the I 'heart' NY, it doesn’t feel like anybody did it. It's just there."Pascuzzo has run Pepco Studio, his independent freelance design studio, for the last 20 years, but he says his first graphic design job out of college was where he met Biz Stone, one of the three Twitter co-founders."We were both junior designers, so we were lowest on the rank, but he would just after every subway ride have all these wild ideas and we would just talk about them. I would do these little doodles on Post-it notes, and he just liked my drawings," Pascuzzo recollects to NEWS10's Mikhaela Singleton.He says Stone appro...

How wildfires are threatening Colorado water supplies — and costing lots of money

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:59:29 GMT

The Colorado River this spring ran high, fast and so full of sediment pushed downstream from wildfire burn scars that the water treatment plant in Hot Sulphur Springs couldn’t keep up.The sediment repeatedly clogged the town’s intake valves, forcing town leaders to issue an emergency order in April and call for residents to voluntarily cut back on water use.“It was pretty much to the breaking point,” said Nick Rardin, water operator with the town.The 700-person town 30 miles northwest of Winter Park is the most recent Colorado community to deal with impacts to water supplies due to wildfires. As wildfires become larger and more catastrophic across the drying West, water leaders warn communities must prepare for the eventual impact on the critical watersheds that provide the water flowing from Colorado taps.“We need to figure out what strategies we need to be more resilient in the face of these fires – they’re not going to stop happening,” said Esther Vi...

Cannabidiol Straight From Kentucky — A Real Tested CBD Spotlight Review Of Evercure CBD

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:59:29 GMT

Kentucky may not be the first state that comes to mind when thinking about the hemp industry. Unlike Colorado, Oregon, and California, Kentucky doesn’t have a strong reputation in the weed legalization movement. Although Kentucky still doesn’t allow recreational marijuana, many local tobacco farmers have begun adding legal hemp flowers to their crops. Also, CBD-rich products have become a big business in the Bluegrass State.The relaxed laws surrounding CBD have created more opportunities for Kentucky hemp entrepreneurs. For instance, the company Evercure CBD promises to make high-quality CBD products made from Kentucky-grown hemp flowers. So, does Evercure CBD live up to its advertised claims?

Mirrorball Dreams of Beach Boys: Alexandra Johnstone of L.A. dream-pop duo Mirrorball told us about her Beach Boys experience.Alexandra Johnstone: The best gig I ever saw was in 2012 when all living members of the Beach Boys joined on stage for the reunion tour at the Hollywood Bowl.They sang along with the Dennis Wilson song “Forever” and to Carl Wilson’s vocal for “God Only Knows.”In that moment, the Mike Love andBrian Wilson drama didn’t exist, and it was not even a footnote.As a Beach Boys fan, I think this was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. There was a spiritual, brotherly quality that pulsated through you and down into the earth— I felt it, and I will never forget it.Mirrorball Dreams of Beach Boys: Mirrorball’s single “Red Hot Dust” is out now.                                 &n...
