<description><![CDATA[Back with a bang! Finally the gigs have started and I couldn&#8217;t have had 2 more different shows]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back with a bang! Finally the gigs have started and I couldn&#8217;t have had 2 more different shows to photograph this weekend!</p>
<p>Saturday I was down at Brixton Academy shooting 4 bands.  They were all metal, it was fast, crazy and FUN!  I didn&#8217;t realise how much I had missed taking photos until I got there, the lights went down, the crowd starting cheering and the band took to the stage.  It&#8217;s an amazing feeling and I love it!  First up were Betraying The Martyrs, you can view my photos from their set <a title="BTM" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/helsbelsmma/sets/72157632567922704/" target="_blank">here</a></p>
<div id="attachment_472" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://helsbelsdotnet.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/6.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-472" alt="Betraying The Martyrs" src="http://helsbelsdotnet.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/6.jpg?w=300&#038;h=199" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Betraying The Martyrs</p></div>
<p>Next up was Motionless In White.  They&#8217;re proving to be really popular on my Tumblr, at the last check I had over 160 reblogs and you can view the photos <a title="MIW" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/helsbelsmma/sets/72157632568013988/" target="_blank">here</a></p>
<div id="attachment_473" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 209px"><a href="http://helsbelsdotnet.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/5.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-473" alt="Motionless in White" src="http://helsbelsdotnet.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/5.jpg?w=199&#038;h=300" width="199" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Motionless in White</p></div>
<p>The sold out crowd was packed into Brixton by now and next to play were While She Sleeps.  I think they were my favourite from the night, it&#8217;s not the kind of music I would normally listen to but they were really fun to photograph and I got some cool shots which you can view <a title="WSS" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/helsbelsmma/sets/72157632563795981/" target="_blank">here</a></p>
<div id="attachment_474" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://helsbelsdotnet.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/3.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-474" alt="While She Sleeps" src="http://helsbelsdotnet.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/3.jpg?w=300&#038;h=199" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">While She Sleeps</p></div>
<p>Finally, the headliners for the night were Asking Alexandria.  The crowd went crazy, I had to dodge crowd surfers and burning embers from the pyrotechnics so it was manic in the pit but good fun for my first gig of 2013!!  You can view the AA photos <a title="AA" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/helsbelsmma/sets/72157632568324622/" target="_blank">here</a></p>
<div id="attachment_475" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://helsbelsdotnet.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/4.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-475" alt="Asking Alexandria" src="http://helsbelsdotnet.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/4.jpg?w=300&#038;h=199" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Asking Alexandria</p></div>
<p>Fast forward 24 hours and I was photographing something TOTALLY different!  I was at the O2, which was exciting as it was my first time photographing there, for Donny and Marie Osmond.</p>
<div id="attachment_476" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://helsbelsdotnet.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-476" alt="Donny Osmond" src="http://helsbelsdotnet.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/2.jpg?w=300&#038;h=199" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Donny Osmond</p></div>
<p>They have brought their Vegas show for a few dates in the UK, and London was the first date of the tour.  It was cheesy, glitzy and really fun.  As usual, I just did the first 3 songs but I can imagine the whole show is great to watch.  You can view all the photos <a title="DM" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/helsbelsmma/sets/72157632568848903/" target="_blank">here</a></p>
<div id="attachment_477" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://helsbelsdotnet.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-477" alt="Marie Osmond" src="http://helsbelsdotnet.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/1.jpg?w=300&#038;h=199" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Marie Osmond</p></div>
</div>
<div class="mceTemp"> In other news, I have upgraded my camera, so I can&#8217;t wait to get out this week and photograph something!  Hopefully by the end of the week I will have been to a gig somewhere with it and of course will be posting the results on here! Don&#8217;t forget to check me out on <a title="FB" href="http://facebook.com/helsbelsphotography" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and <a title="Twitter" href="http://www.twitter.com/helsbels77" target="_blank">Twitter</a>!  &#160;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Velvets</strong> played London&#8217;s now-famous <strong>Marquee Club</strong> tonight in <strong>1963</strong>, along with the <strong>Cyril Davies All-Stars</strong>. In the undesirable opening slot, a brand-new band called <strong>The Rolling Stones</strong>. Admission? A whopping 4 shillings (about $.56).</p>
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/WgHsA53nl7Y?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span>
<p><strong>NBC TV</strong> bought a TV series from Screen Gems Productions today in <strong>1966</strong>, conceived by aspiring filmmakers <strong>Bob Rafelson</strong> and <strong>Bert Schneider</strong> after seeing <strong>The Beatles</strong> film <em>A Hard Day&#8217;s Night</em>. The situation comedy would use many of the same sets and props Screen Gems had constructed for<strong> The Three Stooges</strong>. To keep noise on the set down, any of the four band members not needed in front of the camera used a converted meat locker as a &#8220;green room&#8221;, which <strong>Peter Tork</strong> later noted had the added benefit of concealing any marijuana use that might be going on.  <em><strong>The Monkees</strong></em> would premier in September.</p>
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/JEYNuU6Xtms?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span>
<p><strong>The Jimi Hendrix Experience</strong> were in Luxembourg today in <strong>1967</strong>, recording for the <em>Ready Steady Radio</em> program. While getting themselves properly lubricated to play, they ran up a whopping bar tab of $6.21, which they were unable to pay.</p>
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/LkQVOUmmIQc?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span>
<p><strong>The Yardbirds</strong> were on their way to Australia, but stopped in the British colony of Singapore for a show today in <strong>1967</strong>. Guitarist <strong>Jimmy Page</strong> noted that the screaming fans seemed stuck in the Beatles-era, and after the show met up with a friend stationed there in the British Army, and was struck by how close he and many of his contemporaries had come to being conscripted into the Army themselves. The draft in England had ended in 1960, but had it continued music, pop culture, and fashion worldwide might have been quite different.</p>
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/OFqxiQa74PQ?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span>
<p><strong>Led Zeppelin&#8217;s</strong> debut album was released in the United States today in <strong>1969</strong>, timed to coincide with their first American mostly-headlining tour. They had already played the <strong>Seattle Center Arena</strong> just after Christmas ( Dec. 27th, opening for <strong>Vanilla Fudge</strong>, when the famous Edgewater Inn &#8220;mudshark&#8221; incident occured), and would utterly destroy the <strong>Green Lake Aqua Theater</strong> in May opening for <strong>Three Dog Night</strong>.</p>
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/5EieHafkHbU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span>
<p><strong>The Doors</strong> played the first of four nights at New York&#8217;s Felt Forum tonight in <strong>1970</strong>. The shows, along with most of the others on the East Coast leg of the tour, were recorded and painstakingly edited into their first live album, <em>Absolutely Live</em>.</p>
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/w_zlTNcmjWc?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span>
<p>Bass player and actor <strong>Dino Martin</strong>, son of the crooner <strong>Dean Martin</strong>, was arrested today in <strong>1974</strong> attempting to sell two fully-automatic AK-47 assault rifles to an undercover federal agent.</p>
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/cU2ZgYfu2BM?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span>
<p>&#8220;A little bit rock and roll&#8221; Mormon pop star <strong>Donny Osmond</strong> lost a charity boxing match in Chicago today in <strong>1994</strong> to <strong>Partridge Family</strong> actor and bass-mimer <strong>Danny Bonaduce</strong>, who won 2-1. Sadly, no footage of that bout is available on the interwebs, so you&#8217;ll have to watch him fight Greg Brady.</p>
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/7hJorQ1eAhM?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span>
<p>An acetate of a long-missing recording of a blues song called <em>Too Many Cooks</em> went up for auction in L0ndon today in <strong>2003</strong>, remarkable in that it was a collaboration between <strong>Mick Jagger</strong> and <strong>John Lennon</strong>. It had never been released because the two had been signed to different record labels.</p>
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/91wnkp0ms6o?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span>
<p><strong>Rock and Roll Birthdays</strong></p>
<p>Guitarist #37 on the Rolling Stone Top 100 Greatest Guitarist Of All Time list <strong>Mick Taylor</strong> is<strong> 63</strong>. He&#8217;d played with <strong>John Mayall&#8217;s Bluesbreakers</strong>, and replaced <strong>Brian Jones</strong> in <strong>The Rolling Stones</strong> in 1969, quitting in 1974, but reunited for an anniversary one-off at the 02 arena in London in November.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.radaronline.com/category/tags/staff"><b>By Radar Staff</b></a></p>
<p>Sources close to <a href="http://www.radaronline.com/category/tags/donny-osmond"><b>Donny Osmond</b></a> say the show biz legend will be furious to learn that his 31-year-old son <b>Jeremy</b> was arrested five months ago on a gun charge.</p>
<p>“Donny’s really going to blow his stack, especially in the wake of the Connecticut school shootings,” an insider told the <i>National Enquirer</i>. “Firing a gun irresponsibly isn’t something to just shrug off, like Jeremy seems to be doing.”</p>
<p><a href="http://www.radaronline.com/photos/2010/02/osmonds-through-years">PHOTOS: The Osmonds Through The Years</a></p>
<p>Jeremy was taken into custody July 21 after authorities said he discharged a firearm within the city limits of Cedar Hills, Utah. He <a href="http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/10/susan-boyle-terrified-dancing-with-stars-video-donny-osmond">downplayed</a> the incident to the <i>Enquirer</i>, mistakenly claiming that he wasn&#8217;t actually arrested because he was &#8220;never taken in by police car.</p>
<p>“I was just target shooting and the police showed up,” he told the <i>Enquirer</i>. &#8220;It was right on the border of the city limits and BLM (Bureau of Land Management) property. But I wasn’t arrested … there was <a href="http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2010/11/video-maria-osmond-tells-oprah-sons-suicide-i-understand-darkness">no actual arrest</a>. I was just issued a citation. I had to go down and have my fingerprints taken, but that was it.</p>

<p>“They let me keep my gun, and I wasn’t charged with illegal <a href="http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/11/donny-marie-osmond-then-now-photos-plastic-surgery">possession</a> of a firearm.”</p>
<p>Jeremy, who was eventually fined $200 as result of the incident, <a href="http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/12/susan-boyle-dating-looking-love-donny-osmond">admitted</a> police did take his mugshot, but “it was no big deal.”</p>

<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s almost Christmas &#8230; so who has time to read?!!? I&#8217;m giving you a very simple p]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">It&#8217;s almost Christmas &#8230; so who has time to read?!!? I&#8217;m giving you a very simple post today. Here are the Top 5 memorable songs from My Christmases Past. They&#8217;re in no particular order and there are probably way more than five. Whatever. Please enjoy them as you bake pies/wrap a bicycle/travel to Grandma&#8217;s/shop for a Magic Bullet/pull your hair out today. And feel free to skip the write-ups and just listen to the songs. Sometimes I bore me, too.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>(1) Do They Know It&#8217;s Christmas?</strong> &#8230; How could I not include this one? I still love it so much. I think it&#8217;s the 1984-ness of it all. <a title="Band-Aid post 2011" href="http://wp.me/p1LoLK-JI">I actually wrote a whole post about it this time last year</a>. The &#8220;altercation&#8221; between Boy George and George Michael still tickles me.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/6EJWEXrykdQ?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>(2) Little Toy Trains</strong> &#8230;. Go ahead. Make fun. It&#8217;s from the <em>Donny &#38; Marie Christmas Special</em> in (I&#8217;m going to estimate) 1979 because we owned a VCR to tape it. In it, he sings to his first child. And I just loved it. (I always promised I&#8217;d be honest here, didn&#8217;t I?)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/8MF1bUKHaGY?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>(3) Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth</strong> &#8230; I&#8217;m one of the few people in my circles who actually remembers seeing this original airing on the <em>Bing Crosby Christmas Special</em> in 1977. I have my mom to thank for that. She&#8217;s always been a huge fan of all things Bing and thus I was fortunate enough to see the last annual special or two (variety show-style) when they aired in the 70s. David Bowie joined the ranks of Michael Landon, Roy Clark, Carol Burnett, Connie Francis, Twiggy and several others I likely wouldn&#8217;t have known existed otherwise back then.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/Fulrewj6Noo?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>(4) Snow Miser/Heat Miser</strong> &#8211; From <em>The Year Without a Santa Claus</em> created by Rankin &#38; Bass in 1974. This annual special was always one of my favorites, so much so that I tried in vain to get my hands on one of those little dancing Snow Misers back in the 90s when the internet became everyone&#8217;s best friend. I was lucky enough to hear back from one of their sons but learned that almost none of these little characters were actually stored and preserved. <em>Boohoo!</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/yon2YuXssvo?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>(5) Hang Up Your Stocking</strong> &#8211; From <em>Christmas with the Chipmunks</em> (1963). My grandmother owned this album and I had lots of cousins older than me so I think I was born knowing every word to every song on it. This song was always one of my favorites. And it locked itself in as number one when my daughter learned it as a toddler and consistently butchered the title lyrics with &#8220;Hang Up Your Stop It&#8221; yelled with a big smile every time she sang it. We still sing it &#8220;wrong&#8221; around the house every time it&#8217;s on.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/CC5--lo4WB0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;">* * * * * * * * * *</h1>
<h3 style="text-align:justify;">Anyway, that&#8217;s it. In no particular order. And, by no means, my complete list. I doubt I&#8217;ll be writing again until after Christmas. <a title="christmas 2011 post" href="http://wp.me/p1LoLK-Lu">The short post I wrote on Christmas Day last year is still my least viewed post of all time</a> &#8230; so I&#8217;ll probably just stick to enjoying my family. And you should do the same. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </h3>
<h1 style="text-align:center;">Happy Holidays!</h1>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Quick!  Make yours!  Because tomorrow?  The Mayan Calendar just&#8230;ends.  Kaput.  Done.  It&#8217;s all over.  Again.  Yes, hard to believe, but the world is going to end yet again.  This will be the third time in just over a year, and I don&#8217;t know about you, but I&#8217;m starting to become a little jaded.</p>
<p>Frankly, I&#8217;m expecting this old ball to continue rotating until God himself, says we&#8217;re done.  So, until then what&#8217;s on your list?  Mine might have been a lot different, before this last week.  Might have had stuff on it like; Kiss the Blarney Stone, hug a llama, tell Donny Osmond in person how much I love him, stand before the queen&#8230;</p>
<p>Since the horrors of last week&#8217;s massacre in Newton, CN, my list?  Kiss my husband, hug my children, tell all of them how very, very, very much I love them, and stand, unashamed of our country&#8217;s  Judeo/Christian values and thankful for our freedom.  Why should it take something so horrific to wake us all up and begin living life as if we never have tomorrow?  Because, when you think about it&#8230;  we don&#8217;t.  Today is all we&#8217;ve ever got.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Warning to family members: Reading this blog post could ruin Christmas. That is all. </em></strong></p>
<p>*               *             *            *</p>
<p>At the end of October I set out to knit something special and colorful. A gorgeous and simple shawl.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 435px"><a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/stole-7"><img alt="" src="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/Thris/102024949/1243_GaleZuckerWeWA1111_medium2.jpg" width="425" height="640" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">As seen on Ravelry</p></div>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>I chose this stunning <a title="Stole" href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/stole-7" target="_blank">Stole pattern from Wear With All, by Theresa Gaffey</a> to knit as a Christmas present for my almost-mother-in-law.</p>
<p>For six weeks I knitted away happily. The pattern is a dull 8&#215;8 rib, but hey, it&#8217;s perfect for knit nights and other times when I need a no-brainer project. By Thanksgiving, I&#8217;d finished two out of eight loooong stripes and I realized that I had a problem.</p>
<p><strong>The problem: </strong>The shawl must be completed by December 19 in time for Christmas travels.</p>
<p><strong>The task:</strong> Finish knitting six more sections of the shawl, each one taking approximately 8 hours (that&#8217;s 48 hours of knitting, folks). Then block it and wrap it.</p>
<p><strong>The price:</strong> Put aside all other fiber projects, knitting and spinning alike, no matter how much I want to pick them up. No longer will this be my knit night project. This must be my every-spare-moment-until-I-get-it-done project.</p>
<p>With a groan, I settled down to the task.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I really enjoyed this project and the Isager yarn was gorgeous to work with. But 48 hours of 8&#215;8 rib? Can we say OOG?</p>
<p>Tonight I peeled the shawl off my blocking boards. It was a photo finish, just hours before departure.  Before I wrapped it, I took pictures to share.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1429" alt="Colors long" src="http://25dancer.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/colors-long.jpg?w=158&#038;h=300" width="158" height="300" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1430" alt="Colors scarf wrap" src="http://25dancer.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/colors-scarf-wrap.jpg?w=209&#038;h=300" width="209" height="300" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1432" alt="colors front wrap side" src="http://25dancer.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/colors-front-wrap-side.jpg?w=215&#038;h=300" width="215" height="300" /></p>
<p>As I was snapping away up in the craft room I had a sudden niggling feeling of deja vu. I&#8217;ve seen this shawl somewhere before.</p>
<p>In the back of my mind I heard <a class="zem_slink" title="Donny Osmond" href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/donny_osmond" target="_blank" rel="rottentomatoes">Donny Osmond</a> singing:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>I look handsome I look smart, </em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>I am a walking work of art. </em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Such a dazzling coat of many colors.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>How I love my coat of many colors.</em></p>
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/va6QtO9UYCw?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span>
<p>Oh good grief! I just knitted the amazing technicolor dream coat. Err&#8230;stole.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 160px"><img alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_izfjlVDqvQs/TDn2RiCB-BI/AAAAAAAAAcI/4IN5y1St7nY/s320/Joseph_Coat_Of_Many_Colors.jpg" width="150" height="189" /><p class="wp-caption-text">It does look it, doesn&#8217;t it?</p></div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 312px"><a href="www.offbroadwayboutique.com"><img alt="" src="http://www.offbroadwayboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/joseph-and-the-amazing-technicolor-dreamcoat_000856_1_MainPicture.jpg" width="302" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Amazing technicolor dream coat, as seen at <a href="http://www.offbroadwayboutique.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.offbroadwayboutique.com</a></p></div>
<p>Now I&#8217;m sunk. I&#8217;m going to have that song in my head ALL WEEK. <a class="zem_slink" title="Andrew Lloyd Webber" href="http://www.andrewlloydwebber.com" target="_blank" rel="homepage">Andrew Lloyd Webber</a>, get out of my head. Out out out!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy bday, Redd Foxx. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ab9plpNU3tE" target="_blank">Click for a highlight reel</a> of him working with the great Lawanda Page on <em>Sanford and Son</em>. Both were much, much racier as stand-ups, and you can find plenty o&#8217; examples on YouTube. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.sitcomsonline.com/photopost/data/738/Sanf7.jpg" width="460" height="350" class="alignnone" /></p>
<p>And here&#8217;s Kirk Douglas, so much more interesting than his son when playing a villain. One of his best performances in this noir classic directed by the great Jacques Tourneur. </p>

<p>The great Judy Dench was born on this day. Here, the first installment of the wonderful <em>Iris</em>. You can watch the rest on YouTube if you like. </p>
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/ALsVdYhE3BI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span>
<p>I adore Margaret Hamilton. I&#8217;ve always heard she was an absolutely delightful lady, and here she is in a very sweet (if horrendous quality) clip from Mister Rogers.</p>
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/d1WGKGZZ4U0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span>
<p>One of the great American humorists, Buck Henry, was born today. This brief clip of an interview discussing The Graduate will populate bunches more Buck Henry interview clips, which I encourage you to watch at your leisure.</p>
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/y27ga341bBk?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span>
<p>And it&#8217;s Donny Osmond&#8217;s day as well, here with Michael Jackson. They&#8217;re both cute as little buttons here, though Michael&#8217;s obviously the better performer, even in this scripted hokum.</p>
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ue4Kex_ahzM?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span>
<p>I leave you with a quote from bday man John Milton:</p>
<p>&#8220;The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.&#8221;</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Aging Healthy and Natural Way</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>In a study published today in the online edition of the </strong><strong>Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, </strong><strong>researchers from University College, London found that </strong><br />
<strong>happy people reduced their risk of <span style="color:#339966;">premature death</span> by </strong><strong>as much 35 percent. “NBC News”</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Being happy</span> is vital but there are also factors that we </strong><strong>consider besides eating well and exercise. Because that </strong><strong>process of burning our food and making free radicals is </strong><strong>so central, and because as <span style="color:#3366ff;">everybody ages</span>, that balance </strong><strong>tips toward oxidative stress, it turns out most of the </strong><strong>things that appear as you get older (from annoyances </strong><strong>like stiff joints, severe respiratory infections, and </strong><strong>graying hair to over 200 diseases, such as cancer and </strong><strong>Alzheimer’s) have a strong component of<span style="color:#ff00ff;"> oxidative </span></strong><strong><span style="color:#ff00ff;">stress in the disease process.</span> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Scientists agree that <span style="color:#ff6600;">AGING</span> and many deadly diseases are the result of cellular deterioration due to rogue molecules called <span style="color:#808000;">FREE RADICALS</span>. Free Radical damage is known as <span style="color:#ff0000;">OXIDATIVE STRESS</span> or Oxidative Damage.</strong></p>
<p><strong>There’s only one product that clinically proven to </strong><strong>reduce oxidative stress by 40-70%. Take just one </strong><strong>Protandim a day. </strong></p>

<p>Moms, lock up your sons… Because Scottish songbird, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.radaronline.com/category/tags/susan-boyle"><b>Susan Boyle</b></a> is on the prowl for a man!</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/12/susan-boyle-dating-looking-love-donny-osmond">RadarOnline.com</a> has exclusively learned that after years of living <a target="_blank" href="http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2011/04/photos-susan-boyle-gets-a-wax-job">the single life</a> the 51-year-old singer is ready to settle down and wants to meet a guy just like her ultimate idol, national treasure <a target="_blank" href="http://www.radaronline.com/category/tags/donny-osmond"><b>Donny Osmond</b></a>.</p>

<p>&#8220;Susan has been desperate for a man for a while, and had <a target="_blank" href="http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2010/10/video-susan-boyle-says-she-was-bullied-her-clothes-burned-with-a-cigarette">hoped that her fame</a> might have brought her some luck in finding love,&#8221; a source tells <a target="_blank" href="http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/12/susan-boyle-dating-looking-love-donny-osmond">RadarOnline.com</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;However, sadly, that hasn&#8217;t been the case. In fact, her <a target="_blank" href="http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2010/01/susan-boyle-returns-home-after-whirlwind-us-visit">crazy work schedule</a> has made it almost impossible to meet somebody she could have a relationship with.</p>

<p>&#8220;Her ideal man would be a Donny Osmond type, she recently sang a duet with him on her new album and was absolutely enamored and bowled over by his good looks and charm.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s Susan&#8217;s preference to date a man who is well-groomed and dresses classically. Good teeth are a must, and she likes her men to be tanned. It&#8217;s also important to her that he has a strong love of family and moral fortitude. Oh, and he MUST love cats!</p>

<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s achieved more than she ever <a target="_blank" href="http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2010/01/dream-weaver-susan-boyles-album-sets-record-numbers">dreamed of in life</a> – but there&#8217;s just one thing that&#8217;s missing. Susan really wants a man to share the fruits of her success with.&#8221;</p>
<p>As <a target="_blank" href="http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/10/susan-boyle-terrified-dancing-with-stars-video-donny-osmond">RadarOnline.com previously reported</a>, back in September, Boyle appeared alongside Osmond, 54, on <i>Dancing with the Stars</i> where she sang a rendition of <b>Frank Wildhorn</b> and <b>Leslie Bricusse</b>&#8216;s <i>This Is the Moment</i>, which also appears on her album Standing Ovation: The Greatest Songs From the Stage.</p>

<p>However, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2010/11/video-susan-boyle-chokes-during-performance-view">Boyle appeared uncomfortable</a> from the start and Osmond had to hold her hand to calm her nerves during the forgetful performance.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#33cccc;"><strong>A Better Way To Fight The FREE RADICALS That Causes AGING</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#008080;">Aging</span> starts within every cell of the human body. It is programmed into our DNA. It is generally thought to be inevitable and progressive. But now, there&#8217;s a new scientific breakthrough, a product that is clinically proven to actually slow down the cell aging process. It&#8217;s called PROTANDIM, and it may add not only years to life, but LIFE to your YEARS.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Scientists agree that <span style="color:#ff6600;">AGING</span> and many deadly diseases are the result of cellular deterioration due to rogue molecules called FREE RADICALS. Free Radical damage is known as OXIDATIVE STRESS or Oxidative Damage.</strong></p>
<p><strong>PROTANDIM, offers you a better way to fight the Free Radicals that causes AGING!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Protandim confronts the body’s aging process. It directly targets</strong><br />
<strong>the indicators (oxidative stress, SOD, catalase, glutathione, Nrf2,</strong><br />
<strong>p53, osteopontin, etc) of <span style="color:#800080;">aging and disease.</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>For more info here:</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Take just one Protandim™ tablet daily!</strong><br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, I&#8217;ll admit that I&#8217;m one of those people that doesn&#8217;t want to hear Christmas music until December. Sorry. Don&#8217;t hate me. Let me explain. There are only so many Christmas songs. After hearing the same music constantly for a while, I start to get sick of it. I don&#8217;t want to hear it until December that way I&#8217;m not sick of it by Thanksgiving.</p>
<p>Anywho, I can&#8217;t pick a favorite because that&#8217;s how I am. But I will always love Harry Connick Jr. and Donny Osmond&#8217;s Christmas music. For one, they are different, and two, they are catchy and fun. Problem? Didn&#8217;t think so.</p>
<p>Despite my irritation with the excessive airing of Christmas music, I do like it. Moderation is the key.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>What Is In Sunlight That Puts Our Skin At Risk?</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>The condition known as unilateral <span style="color:#99cc00;">dermatoheliosis, or photoaging,</span> is caused by <span style="color:#ff6600;">chronic exposure to the sun’s Ultraviolet A</span> (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. Ultraviolet A (UVA) rays transmit through window glass, penetrating the epidermis and upper layers of dermis, Chronic UVA exposure can result in thickening of the epidermis and stratum corneum, as well as<span style="color:#ff00ff;"> destruction of elastic fibers.</span> In addition to visible light and other spectrums, sunlight includes invisible ultraviolet radiation (UV-R). <span style="color:#3366ff;">Overexposure to the UV spectrum has been linked to skin cancer</span>, accelerating <span style="color:#ff0000;">skin aging</span> and sunburn.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Excessive<span style="color:#800080;"> UV radiation weakens the body’s immune system</span> in addition to causing cancer. According to the <span style="color:#ff0000;">American Cancer Society</span>, skin cancer is the most common <span style="color:#3366ff;">form of cancer</span> in the United States—an estimated 1 million nonmelanoma cases are diagnosed annually. The majority of <span style="color:#00ff00;">skin cancer cases, up to 90%, are sun-related</span>.</strong></p>
<p><strong>In the fight against damaged and aging skin, <span style="color:#ff00ff;">TrueScience Anti-Aging Cream</span> emerges as a <span style="color:#ff6600;">powerful, safe and natural way</span> to a youthful and vibrant appearance. TrueScience anti-aging cream was formulated to <span style="color:#808000;">fight your aging battles from the outside in.</span> With cutting-edge science battling externally and the <span style="color:#993300;">ingredients in Protandim proven to protect your cells internally.</span></strong></p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Therapeutic Options For Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#333399;"><strong>What is Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)? </strong></span><strong>&#8220;Is a rapidly progressive form of muscular dystrophy that occurs </strong><strong>primarily in boys. It is caused by an alteration (mutation) in a gene, </strong><strong>called the <span style="color:#00ff00;">DMD gene</span> that can be inherited in families in an X-</strong><br />
<strong>linked recessive fashion, but it often occurs in people from </strong><strong>families without a known family history of the condition. </strong><strong>Individuals who have DMD have<span style="color:#ff6600;"> progressive loss</span> of <span style="color:#ff00ff;">muscle </span></strong><strong><span style="color:#ff00ff;">function and weakness</span>, which begins in the lower limbs. The </strong><strong>DMD gene is the second largest gene to date, which encodes the </strong><strong><span style="color:#339966;">muscle protein, dystrophin</span>. Boys with Duchenne muscular </strong><strong>dystrophy do not make the dystrophin protein in their muscles.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>The most common and lethal <span style="color:#993366;">neuromuscular disorder</span> in children, </strong><strong>remain elusive. Oxidative damage is implicated as a pertinent factor </strong><strong>involved in its pathogenesis.

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">A Practical And Potent Approach For Cancer Prevention</span></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="color:#99cc00;">Cancer</span> is affected by alterations in multiple physiological events including apoptosis (programmed cell death), inflammation, differentiation, and angiogenesis. Oxidative stress, resulting from the imbalance between <span style="color:#800080;">antioxidants and prooxidants</span>, has been recognized to play an important role in cancer development. </strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">SOD</span> not only suppresses cell proliferation, but also affects inflammation. The association between chronic inflammation and cancer is now well established. One important mechanism of<span style="color:#808000;"> inflammation-induced cancer</span> is due to <span style="color:#ff0000;">oxidative stress. </span></strong></p>
<p><strong>A new approach to <span style="color:#008000;">antioxidant therapy</span> via the induction of antioxidant enzymes (including SOD and catalase) has been developed. The dietary supplement, <span style="color:#ff00ff;">Protandim</span>, is a combination of five phytochemicals from medicinal plants long recorded in traditional Indian and Chinese medicine. </strong></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff6600;"><strong>One of Peer-reviewed Studies of Protandim</strong></span></p>
