There are some things going on at the  Walt Disney World Resort  in November that you need to know about:                                                                                                           

Crowd Warnings:

1. Jersey Week – The New Jersey Public schools all have November 5^th & 6^th off for teacher-in-service days.   This has a huge impact on attendance during the first week of November as thousands of families take the opportunity to take a few extra days and head to Disneyworld.  Expect moderately high crowds for the whole first week of November.
2. Thanksgiving Week – “Holiday Season” is even more crowded than “Peak Season” so expect very high crowd levels November 21^st – 28^th.   Heavy crowds can be fun because Disney extends park hours and adds extra show times but you’ll need a good touring plan to help you avoid horrible lines.
3. Pop Warner National Football, Dance & Cheer Events at Walt Disney World – November 30 – December 12. These events take place at Disney’s Wide World of Sports and the events themselves won’t affect you but you may encounter groups of young athletes (and their families) in your resort and – during their spare time – in the theme parks.
4. Fantasmic! (Disney’s Hollywood Studios) –This great show is no longer presented every night.  It will be offered November 1, 2, 5, 8, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 22, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30 .  This is a very popular show and we highly recommend it – arrive 60-90 minutes early, if you do not have a Fantasmic! Dinner package.  Disney may add a second, later performance on certain evenings during the busiest times – if they do, the later showing of Fantasmic! will always be less crowded than the earlier one   Warning: When there are limited performances, you know Disney’s Hollywood Studios is going to be busier on days featuring a Fantasmic! show.  Afternoons will be especially busy as those with Park Hopper tickets come over to see the show.  A good touring plan will help you manage this.   Warning:  This show  is excellent but it does feature villains for a good 8-10 minutes.  The scene is fairly intense and can be frightening to small children.
5. SpectroMagic Parade (Magic Kingdom) – This wonderful nighttime parade is not offered every night and the Magic Kingdom will be more crowded on days featuring a SpectroMagic Parade.   The SpectroMagic Parade will be presented on November 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 14, 16, 18, 21, 22,  23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 3o.    If Disney offers a second evening parade, the later parade will be less crowded than the earlier.
6. Avoid going to the Magic Kingdom and Epcot on Thanksgiving Day.   There is a good chance that the park could close because of capacity level crowds and the lines will be horrible.  Disney’s Hollywood Studios &  Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme parks are much better choices for Thanksgiving Day.
7. Extra Magic Hours – (Special hours only available to Disney resort hotel guest) We recommend that everyone avoid the Extra Magic Hour park(s) of the day.   Disney has 33,000 hotel rooms and no one goes to Disney alone – that means too many people are pointed in the same direction at the same time. You’ll have a much nicer time by going to a less busy park.  This is doubly important if you are not staying at a Disney resort – you don’t want to get to the theme park and find a bunch of Disney guests in line in front of you. 
8. A good touring plan will keep you ahead of the crowds and out of the long lines.   We provide three choices for custom touring plans – our Custom Touring Plans, the 2009 Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World (book), or a subscription to Tour Guide Mike (online service) – at  no charge to you when you book your trip through Build A Better Mouse Trip.  For more information, see: http://www.buildabettermousetrip.com/freetouringplans.php

Special Events:

1. Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (Disney’s Magic Kingdom)- 7:00PM to Midnight – November 10, 12,  13, 15, 17, 19, 20, 29.  This special event is a lot of fun for families, with rides, a parade, shows, and fun party type events.   These nights require a special event ticket ($49 – $63  per person, depending on age and date) – you cannot enter using your Magic Your Way or Park Hopper tickets.  Ticket prices vary with an advance purchase discount offered on select nights. There are a limited number of tickets sold for each party Warning:  The Magic Kingdom will close to the public at 7:00PM on party nights.  Magic Kingdom resort area restaurants (Chef Mickey’s, 1900 Park Fare, Whispering Canyon, etc.) will fill their reservations early as people look for something nearby to enjoy after the early park closing.  Contact us today to purchase your party tickets. 
2. Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancng  Lights  (Disney’s Hollywood Studios) – November 10, 2009 – January 4, 2010.  This is an incredible holiday light display beginning around dusk.   Every 15 minutes, the display will glow and dim to correspond with the holiday music.  It is quite a sight!  No extra ticket needed – included with your park admission.
3. Holidays Around the World. (Epcot) – November 27 – December 30^th. The World Showcase pavilions will each feature a special holiday storyteller that tells about Christmas (or other holiday) festivities in that country.  No extra ticket needed – included with your park admission.  Check your Epcot times guide.
4. Candlelight Processional (Epcot) – November 27 – December 30^th.  Nightly:  5:00, 6:45, & 8:00PM.   A large choir, orchestra, and celebrity narrators retell the Christmas Story in the America Gardens Theatre.  This beautiful production is extremely popular and fills to capacity.  People sometimes line up hours early.  TIP: Arrive at least 45 minutes early for the 5:00PM performance for your best chance to get in with a minimum wait.   TIP: Candlelight Processional Lunch/Dinner Packages eliminate long waits.  You have several restaurant choices and you’ll receive a voucher that guarantees seating at the Candlelight Processional.  These packages aren’t cheap but a nice meal and the wonderful Candlelight Processional are certainly a special occasion worth celebrating.  The Candlelight Processional Dinner Packages are included in the Disney Dining Plan but will take two table-service meal credits per person.  Call 407-WDW-DINE to check availability and to make reservations.

Can You Save Money with the “Free Nights” Promotion?

Sports and Music. Both packed with vibe, aggression, anticipation, excitement, noise, energy, and soul. As an athlete, hearing a song that boils your blood and widens your eyes is just one small characteristic in which music   can transcend physically into your own actions and thoughts. Eclectic restaurants and lounges are effective with paralleling their visual atmosphere to the aura it emits. Sport venues are no different. Rarely, unless you are at a   cricket match, will the arena blair ‘Mozart’s 21st concerto   in C major’ at the height of battle. 4th and 2 and one play to win or lose the game, here are the top 10 (due to change with time).

I alphavilles forever young har jag har alltid trott att de sjunger ” Can you imagine when this face is one ” men jag har inte riktigt förstått vad det har med att forever young att göra. borde ju vara tvärtom att när man har barn är man inte längre ung.
i alla fall nu när jag läste texten stod det att de sjunger “can you imagine when the race is won” inte riktigt samma sak. Egentligen lyssnar jag på axel rudi pells cover av forever young. tycker den är bättre, men eftersom den är mest känd genom alphaville och för att de har gjort den skriver jag de.

i alla fall tänker jag ha kvar tanken om can you imagine when this face is one. av någon underlig anledning har jag tänkt can you imagine when this faces are one det är ganska fint egentligen. med risk för att bli läskigt djup och känslosam. men när jag börjar se människor jag vuxit upp med få barn börjar jag tänka i de banorna. tänk att ha ett barn. att se sig själv och den man älskar mest av alla i samma människa. i sitt och dennes barn. jag vet inte men det måste vara en märklig men härlig känsla. jag tror det är en annan dimension av kärlek som jag hoppas att jag får uppleva. stop.

påtal om forever young är det en sak jag tänkt på. tänk er kändisar som dött relativt unga. ja det finns flera men för att nämna någon så elvis. de flesta var ju påväg mot fördärv och ja på dekis kan man säga. kanske var det bästa som kunde hända de att de dog unga. förlåt det låter hemskt. men då blir de ihågkommna för det bra de gjorde. Som en vacker bild för eftervärlden. elvis var väl vad jag förstått mycket nära att gå ner sig ännu mer. skulle han idag varit en 200 kilosman som gör tafattiga comebackförsök. för att nämna några mer som eftervärlden minns och troligen vill minnas som unga och vackra. james dean, kurt cobain, jimi hendrix, heath ledger, åh.. han som jag skulle gifta mig med.

Om jag vore ta för exempel ozzy osbourne. kanske jag hellre hade varit ihågkommen som en av de grymmaste artisterna genom tiderna istället för en sönderknarkad rockgubbe. för han gör riktigt bra musik den mannen. sen resten kan vi diskutera. att han har jobbat med så bra artister också kan vara en del. två helt grymma gitarrister. toni iommi och zakk wylde. I LOVE. iommi har något magiskt. och wylde han något sound som bara han kan. få människor får mig helt stum när de får tag i en gitarr. de är wylde och iommi, erik och mamma. de är de som fått mig helt tyst. lyssna på iommis orchid så förstår du. jag får samma känsla av lugn och trygghet som när mamma spelade för mig när jag var liten som när jag hör de och när jag träffa han med stort h.

men nu åter till forever young. jag tänker lite som lenny i ace of spades. I don’t wanna live forever han har förövrigt bra texter.

imorgon ska jag lära mig att skriva lagom långa inlägg.

However, fortunately, the former Black Sabbbath ’s vocalist’s second report came negative.

The doctors who treated him had apparently blamed the error on the singer ’s  immune system , which had become weak due to years of booze and drugs .

He said: “When I used to get loaded I would get myself into all kinds of situations. It turned out that because I was drinking and using drugs so much, my immune system had dropped so that it was a borderline result. When I went back to be tested again it was negative.”

The K-9 police dog purchased by heavy metal rocker Ozzy Osbourne and his son, Jack, made his way to Muncie last week to spend time with his partner, Muncie Police Sgt. Jay Turner, and train on the streets of Muncie.

“Jack and Ozzy sure came through for the department,” Turner said. “The Osbourne family, they donated the money for the dog without even thinking about it, they just did it, which was very nice.”

Turner received two checks in the mail just a few weeks ago. Both Ozzy and Jack gave the same amount: $4,500.

Jack Osbourne became a good friend to Muncie police after he spent time in the city as a reserve officer during the filming of the CBS reality television series Armed in Famous in 2006. He’s kept in touch with other officers and earlier this year convinced his father to help buy the department a police dog to replace an aging K-9 officer.

“Obviously with all the cuts in the city, (getting a new dog) is something that hasn’t been on a front burner for us,” Police Chief Deb Davis said. “When I found out that Ozzy and Jack had agreed to pick up the tab I was a little surprised…it’s kind of neat.”

The money Jack and Ozzy donated is more than enough.

Turner purchased the dog for $8,000 — $1,000 less than most K-9s because Ozzy is only partially trained. Turner is doing the rest himself, and the extra thousand will go into the K-9 budget for food and care for Ozzy and the MPD’s two other K-9 dogs.

Rover, Turner’s 13-year-old partner of nine years, was part of that crew before his recent retirement.

Now, he’ll live at home with Turner and his family, something they all find bittersweet.

“We knew it was time for Rover to retire, but kind of sad for him to retire, but happy that he’ll be home with us more.” Turner’s wife, Dawn, said last Tuesday when the Turner family met Ozzy at the former MPD horse barn just south of the downtown YMCA.

There, the family spent time getting acquainted with Ozzy, who will be living with them for years to come. Turner asked his family to help him give Ozzy a bath, a method used to bond with the dog.

“Giving him a bath, feeding him for the first time, doing things like that is part of the bonding process with the dog,” Turner said.

Turner also practiced apprehensions using a decoy, his daughter’s boyfriend, Aaron Brooks. Training continued throughout the week. On Sunday, Turner took Ozzy to Tuhey Park for training in tracking, as well as the old city parking garage on Washington Street for more apprehension training.

Tracking is used to find missing persons or suspects. The dog learns to pick up the scent of the person. Indiana State Police Senior Trooper Shawn Cosgrove, who helped Turner with the training, said he’s seen a dog track a scent that was two years old.

“The tracking is the only thing he didn’t have. So, what we’re doing now is we’re starting Ozzy off at the very (beginning), like what the green dogs start out, with the very beginning of tracking,” Turner said. “From there we’ll do basic building searches and we’re just starting showing him the way I want him to search.”

Turner expects Ozzy, though he’s still learning, to do well at the police department.

“Ozzy is a very young dog and has a lot of puppy in him…he’s willing to go and work a lot, and he works really fast,” Turner said.

O guitarrista Zakk Wylde (OZZY OSBOURNE, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY) organizou uma seção de autógrafos especial no último dia 30 de outubro em Nova Iorque, na famosa loja de música Sam Ash, para divulgar sua nova linha de guitarras Epiphone Graveyard Disciple.

Don’t worry, everyone — Kelly Osbourne won’t be posing naked!

The rotund daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne – who’s currently taking part in the new season of  “Dancing With The Stars”  – insists she’d never flash her flesh for a magazine cover in case her dad or brother Jack saw the photos.

“It was the second time they have asked and respectfully I declined, as I don’t feel it’s the right thing for me,” said Kelly on why she turned down an offer to strip off for Playboy magazine.

“I know if I ever decided to do something like that I’d want it to be tasteful and done very beautifully.

“But still I turned it down — I wouldn’t want my father or brother Jack to open up a magazine and see me naked!”

Kelly, 24, recently revealed how she once had a collagen injection on her lips — just so she could get some painkillers to feed her addiction.

“My dad got a nose job so he could get drugs,” she told MTV. “I used my dad’s f**king tricks. I found a plastic surgeon and had collagen in my lips so he could give me painkillers.

“I looked f**king ridiculous.”

A lo largo de los años se ha venido hablando de como la música ha influenciado el comportamiento de las personas al punto de motivarlas a quitarse la vida, robar, asesinar,consumir alcohol, tabaco, drogas,al punto que hasta ha sido usada por soldados en combate. Estos son algunos casos mortales de la musica.

5.- Suicide Solution – Ozzy Osbourne

NO. DE VICTIMAS: 1 Adolecente

En Octubre del 84. John M. de 19 años se disparó en la cabeza mientras escuchaba esa canción. Cuando el forense entro al cuarto lo encontró con sus audífonos puestos.

Por su parte, Ozzy declaró que la canción la había escrito después de la muerte de Bon Scott de AC/DC. La letra habla del alcohol como una solución (líquido) mortal. Y se apegó a la primera enmienda, libertad de expresión.

Frase que hizo que busques el revólver de papá:

“Why try, why try? Get the gun and try it! Shoot, Shoot, Shoot”

¿Qué?, ¿No escuchaste cuando Ozzy canto eso? Escucha detenidamente en el min 2:10.

Según el abogado que defendió el caso, envió la canción a ser analizada por The Institute for Bio-Acoustics Research, Inc. IBAR reportó que había encontrado mensajes grabados a 1.5 veces más lentos que la velocidad normal y que alguien que escuche la canción por primera vez no lo iba a captar. Pero IBAR indicó que los mensajes subliminales “son lo suficientemente audibles para que su significado e intención sean mas claros mientras se escuche mas veces la canción”. También incluía una risa y tonos que se supone que aceleran el proceso de asimilación de información del cerebro, haciendo que el pobre chico este vulnerable al mensaje de Ozzy.

4.- The Black Parade – My Chemical Romance

NO. DE VICTIMAS: 1 Adolecente

Últimamente se habla de la gente Emo, sus tendencias suicidas y como les gusta cortarse. En Mayo del 2008, Hanna Bond de 13 años, se ahorcó usando una corbata en una litera. “Pensando que su muerte impresionaría a los seguidores del movimiento Emo”. Ella usaba el nick “Living Disaster”, y “chateaba con emos sobre la muerte y glamorizaban el acto de ahorcarse. Y hablaban del ‘Black Parade’, el lugar donde los Emos van cuando mueren”

Frase que hizo que te pongas tu delineador favorito:

“Take a look at me ’cause I could not care at all
Do or die, you’ll never make me
Because the world will never take my (heart)”

3.- Bark At the Moon – Ozzy Osbourne

NO. DE VICTIMAS: 1 Mujer, 2 Niños

En Halifax, Canadá en fin de año del 83 pasó que James Jollimore, de 20 años, salió y apuñalo a una mujer de 44 años y sus dos hijos. Un amigo de Jollimore declaró que a Él le daban ganas de apuñalar gente cuando escuchaba canciones como “Bark At The Moon”, “Jimmy dijo que cuando escucha esa canción se siente raro por dentro”

Y que cuando escuchó la canción ese fin de año, simplemente se le antojo salir a apuñalar a alguien.

Frase que hizo que cojas el cuchillo:

“Now he has risen
Miracles would have to save
Those that the beast is looking for
Listen in awe and you’ll hear him
Bark at the moon”

2.- Gloomy Sunday – Rezső Seress

NO. DE VICTIMAS: Cientos de Húngaros

Es una canción escrita por un pianista húngaro en 1933 a un poema de László Jávor. De acuerdo con la leyenda urbana, esta canción inspiró ola de suicidios en Hungría. Cuando se lanzó en EE.UU, se la conoció como “La canción húngara del suicidio”. No hay ninguna prueba de esto pero a veces se cita el hecho de que el propio Rezso Seress se suicidó tirándose por una ventana de un edificio en Budapest en 1968. Es verdad que el autor se suicidó, pero lo hizo 35 años después de componer Gloomy Sunday. Dicen que era porque estaba deprimido por ser un One hit Wonder. Esta es la versión de Billie Holiday para que puedan entender la letra.

Frase que hizo que saltes por la ventana:

“Angels have no thoughts
Of ever returning you
Wouldn’t they be angry
If I thought of joining you?”

1.- La Música Country. Ej: Are You Lonesome Tonight – Elvis Presley

NO. DE VICTIMAS: Miles de Personas Blancas

Usada en escenas tristes de un millón de películas y una de las canciones más famosas de country. Este caso es el peor porque no es solo una canción, sino todo un género según S. Stack y J. Gundlach, en su investigación “The Effect of Country Music on Suicide“. Este género de música fomenta un humor suicida en las personas debido a que las canciones siempre tratan de problemas en el trabajo, maritales, de abuso de alcohol, etc. Que al parecer es muy popular con la población suicida. Un análisis de 49 áreas metropolitanas de EEUU demuestra que mientras más tiempo se le da a este género en las radios, mayor es la tasa de suicidio de la gente blanca (Sin importar los divorcios, pobreza, disponibilidad de armas, o lo sureño que sea).

Frase que hizo que te cortes las venas:

“Honey, you lied when you said you loved me
And I had no cause to doubt you.
But I’d rather go on hearing your lies
Than to go on living without you.”

No pueden seguir culpando a los autores de las canciones, pero es cierto que la música, sin importar el género, tiene cierto poder de influenciar tu estado de ánimo,ya sea para bien o para mal, depende de la persona que la está escuchando y la situación que vive. Saquen sus propias conclusiones. Hasta dicen que puede curar.

Por mi parte hay un disco que cada vez que lo escucho hace que intente sacarme los ojos con una cuchara, y se que a muchos tambien. St. Verga.

Sigo esperando que te disculpes por el sonido de ese redoblante Lars.

Holly Robinson Peete, along with Sharon Osbourne (“America’s Got Talent”), Bret Michaels             (“Rock of Love”), Cyndi Lauper (Singer), and Darryl Strawberry (Former pro baseball Player) make the list for this years Celebrity Apprentice. This should be interesting….. the new season will be aired in the Spring of 2010.

Kelly Osbourne, filha do roqueiro Ozzy, sofreu um pequeno acidente ao usar um desodorante chamado Impulse. Ela ficou tão indignada que resolveu relatar o caso em seu Twitter:

“Nunca, jamais use Impulse Body Spray do Reino Unido. Eu pulverizei em mim mesmo e agora tenho queimaduras muito ruins por todo o meu corpo. Suave na pele, meu ***!”

Mais tarde, ela ainda acrescentou:

“Isso é apenas minha axila. O da minha barriga está muito pior! Eles só tinham que mandar meu vestido desta noite de volta para consertar e assim cobrir minhas queimaduras”.

Viu só? No primeiro mundo também tem produtos de qualidade duvidosa!

Season Premiere- Kelly Osbourne – Dancing With The Stars

a stellar Kelly Osbourne dancing with the stars debut. My fair Osbourne – I feel like my kid finally grew up!

if you wonder what
an office job is like – consider this:

what if inside you lived a brutal death metal band, in your bladder, and its groupies – all wearing black and pierced – lived in your kidneys?  every stroke of the space bar sounds like a zildjian trash cymbal, every time you hit “send” it feels like the strum of a tritone against your fingers.

the slow march to the bathroom, at 9:46 every morning, feels like advancing in line for a concert you know you’ll hate.  you try to keep your cool going up the elevator, as working weary mumble how happy they are it’s friday like it was the only one history ever gave them.

imagine your favorite band tuning their guitars for 4 hours, taking a lunch break, and tuning for another 4 hours.  they play a 45 minute set, but only of contemporary christian worship songs. and for the encore, the death metal groupies hang them by their hair until their scalps fall off.

if you still wonder what
an office job is like – i hear
microsoft is hiring.

Muncie Police Department Sgt. Jay Turner works with K9 Rover during the dog’s training session on Monday on the roof of Wilson Middle School. Rover will be retired and a new dog, purchased with the help of Ozzy and Jack Osbourne, will be brought onto the police force. (Kelly Day / The Star Press)

Ozzy Osbourne appears to have a soft spot for canines.

Or in this case, K9s.

The “Prince of Darkness,” who was often shown interacting with his family’s dogs on their MTV reality show The Osbournes, was recently convinced by his son and former Armed & Famous celebrity cast member, Jack Osbourne, to buy the Muncie Police Department a new K9 officer, according to MPD Sgt. Jay Turner.

“Jack and Ozzy are sending the check either this week or next week and then we’ll go get him,” Turner said.

And even though they don’t have the new K9 officer in hand yet, they’ve already got a name picked out — Ozzy.

Ozzy will take the place of Rover, the K9 officer who is retiring this month.

“(Rover) has had a phenomenal career,” Turner said.

The 13-year-old German Shepherd has been with the Muncie Police Department since 2000.

“Most last on the streets seven to nine years,” Turner said.

But the time finally came when it was clear it was best for Rover that he retire.  That’s when Turner contacted Jack to ask if he could help the police department, he said.

“We don’t have any money for the dog and Jack knew that,” Turner said, adding that he called and “ran the idea by him” last month.

“There was no hesitation. He talked to (Ozzy) and called me back in 10 minutes and it was a done deal. (Jack) said, ‘You guys have a new dog,’” Turner said with a smile.

The dog is being trained at Vohne Liche Kennels in Denver, Ind. The Osbournes’ check for $10,000 will cover the cost of purchasing the canine.

A private group based out of the Fraternal Order of Police lodge in Muncie will continue a fundraiser to raise money for food, veterinary bills and other costs, MPD Capt. Chuck Hensley said.

“We’re trying to do it without touching taxpayer money at all,” Hensley said. “We need all the help we can get. Give freely.”

The police department has two other K9 dogs in addition to Rover, Hensley said. The department formerly had six but gradually gave up K9 officers as the department made cuts, he said.

“A dog’s life is worth a lot, but a human’s life is worth more,” Hensley said. “That dog has a better chance of getting to (a perpetrator) without injury than we do.”

The Osbournes’ donation to the department is a relief to Hensley, who oversees the uniform division.

“I was ecstatic,” he said. “The Osbournes love us, and to me that rocks.”

Turner has kept in contact with Jack and other Armed & Famous stars, such as actor Erik Estrada, since the conclusion of the show’s taping in 2006. Though the CBS show failed to catch the interest of TV viewers — the program was canceled after just four of seven filmed episodes aired — the experience was influential in Osbourne’s life.

Osbourne has returned to Muncie to work with Turner, who was his supervisor, and other officers. Estrada has also made return visits to Muncie to help his MPD colleagues with charity efforts.

“When (Jack) comes back, he helps us with our K9 training a lot,” Turner said. “(Jack and Ozzy) are big supporters of our K9 unit and that’s how I thought to talk to him.”

Turner attended one of Ozzy’s shows in Chicago and had a chance to chat with him.

“We’re both World War II buffs,” Turner said. “He’s just a really nice guy.”

Jack has also made a good impression on Turner.

“I would love to have (Jack) on the police department,” Turner said. “He knew how to talk to people, he’s very tactical (and) he knew what it took to be a good cop.”

Turner said Jack told him he is planning to join a police department in California.

“When I talked to him, he said he’s going to go into the regular department (rather than work as a reserve officer),” Turner said. “There’s that taste you have to be a cop and he’s got it.”

As for Rover?

“He’ll definitely miss (being a K9), but now he gets to stay home and protect my family,” Turner said.

Ozzy Osbourne Tribute

Sunset Strip Music Festival

House Of Blues Sunset

W. Hollywood, CA

September 10, 2009

It’s been 40 years…can you believe it?  Ozzy has been inspiring us musically for 40 years now.  To help celebrate this, the Hollywood rock community joined together and kicked off the 2^nd Annual Sunset Strip Music Festival with a special tribute honoring rock legend, Ozzy Osbourne.

The SSMF event honors icons who have made an impact on the legacy of The Sunset Strip. On Ozzy Osbourne’s first U.S. tour with Black Sabbath in 1970, the band performed a five-night stand at the legendary Whisky A Go-Go.

Ozzy’s well deserved tribute included special guest speakers Slash of Guns N’ Roses, actor Billy Bob Thornton, Henry Rollins of Black Flag, Motley Crue’s Tommy Lee, and comedian Jim Norton.

The evening commenced with an all star jam / tribute that included musicians John 5, Steve Stevens, Billy Morrison, Frank Perez, Steve Jones, Kenny Arnoff, Chris Chaney, Donovan Leitch, Mark McGrath and Corey Taylor.

The SSMF culminated into a huge live show that blocked the streets of the Sunset Strip that had Ozzy as the headliner and Korn as direct support.  Sure, the traffic and parking was nuts, but it was mind-blowing to see the Sunset Strip shut down…all in the name of rock!

I will be posting some live shots of Ozzy and Korn from the big event in the next few days.

Stay tuned…

Vaatasin eile inglise stilisti Gok Wani saadet, milles Kelly Osbourne näitas oma riideid ja kõike muud sinnajuurdekuuluvat. Tema kapis oli ka Comme des Garcons’ 2007 aasta sügise kollektsiooni kuulunud Miki-Hiire kõrvadega müts. Minu meelest on sellised humoorikad detailid geniaalsed. Ostsin just hiljuti omale H&M-st suurte roosidega peavõru. Sellega hiljem kohvikus uhkeldades hüüdis üks tüdruk oma isale:” Näe Miki Hiir!” – eesmärk täidetud, kuigi peavõrul oli ainult ühte kõrva meenutav roosikogum, olin ma siiski rõõmus, et tüdruk oli asjale pihta saanud .  Hetkel on kuum ka kikilipsumotiiviga peavõrud, mida on saada nii H&M-s kui kindlasti ka siinsetes pudupoodides. Väga lahedaid peavõrusid oleme näinud ja näeme kindlasti ka edaspidi Gossip Girl’i Blair Waldorfi peas. Louis Vuittoni 2009 sügiskampaanias ehivad Madonnat roosad jänkukõrvad, Peter Jenseni 2010 resort kollektsioonis on aga päikseprillid, mis meenutavad jänkukõrvu ning vuntse. Soovitan mitte võtta riietumist ja aksessuaare liiga tõsiselt, väike kiiks ja huumor teeb olemise palju lahedamaks.

Saving the Town of Garner from wasteful spending to the tune of $144,000.  That was my intention when I began writing my emails to let people know about the “PUSHED THROUGH”, last minute, emergency issue, that had, just come-up, that would need the Town Council to spend $144,000 for someone, unmentioned during the conversation, for a 10 year period at zero interest.

After making readers aware of this and it being published in papers like the Garner News and covered by writers like Ms. K. Griffin, it caused no small stir somewhere because last week the owner of the property arrived at the Town Council Meeting, driving all the way from Charlotte,  to ask the Council to rescind their offer of $144,000, so that the council could settle back down to normal business and not focus on his issues.

I had no idea that a real stir had arisen from my emails or the letters of any of the folks that may have read about this issue.  I quickly took to the email stage and thanked by readers for their efforts in helping the Town of Garner keep its money and I will continue my fight for transparency and common sense in government at each level.

Monday evening was a night of “Speed Campaigning” in the spirit of (speed dating) for the attending candidates.  The hosting Young Republicans (YR) hosted a great evening at the Hi5 Restaurant and Bar in Raleigh on Monday night, giving candidates 8 minutes per table to speak to small groups of YR’s.  This was good chances for candidates to polish up on talking to different groups of people over and over again, telling the same story, sometimes different ways, and answer questions from various people.  The atmosphere was friendly and light and at the same time challenging.  Each candidate was allowed time to express their needs as well as their desires.

The event was attended by about 6 candidates and 36 YR’s.

My thanks to the hosting Young Republicans for their efforts and desire to see their conservative principles flourish.

Kelly had a recent interview with the Houston Chronicle where she opened up about her past drug addictions.  Her illness stemmed from her mother’s bout with colon cancer the her father’s quad-bike accident.  She had this to say:

I was trying to be strong, so I took Vicodin to hide the terrible sadness. I was waking up and emptying six Vicodin into my hand,” Osbourne reveals. “Soon I was taking 50 pills a day. Most people would overdose on 10.” The 24-year-old’s escalating habit eventually led to a stay in the psychiatric ward at the UCLA Medical Center.

I don’t know what kind of superstar, gerry-rigged vicodin she was taking but 10 vicodin doesn’t do shit.  50 is a different story but if you took 50 for more than even 3 days, you’d keel over from the stomach pain.  Vicodin contains Acetaminophen which doesn’t get you high but, when taken in high doses (50 is really high), eats away your stomach lining and you are in so much pain no amount of morphine would comfort you.

She is lying or she isn’t telling the truth.  Either one.  Why not just jump to something harder?  She could have taken 5 percocet instead of 50 vicodin and gotten just as high and spent 90% less.  Kelly, keep your bullshit addiction sob stories to yourself.  Come back to me when you’ve even heard of oxycontin.  At least that point we’ll know you’re actually getting high from your pills and not just looking for profitable fodder for the trash mags.

O Sortudo menininho com Ozzy

Eu vivo falando por aí: “É o fim do mundo”, “A infância está perdida”, “A humanidade está caminhando por uma avenida de mão única para o fracasso”, porém, algumas pessoas, e crianças (!) que lutam bravamente contra a inclusão digital falta de cultura. Yuto Miyazawa, de apenas 9 anos é um bom exemplo dessa esperança que pode salvar o mundo. Mas quem afinal é Yuto Miyazawa? Um garotinho que toca guitarra como profissional. O primeiro vídeo de Yuto foi esse, meio tosco, tocando “Crazy Train”, um dos maiores sucessos de Ozzy Osbourne. É de maio do ano passado.

Na última turnê de Ozzy Osbourne, este ano, Yuto finalmente realizou seu sonho. Tocou guitarra acompanhado pelo maior ídolo. Invejei fortemente esse garotinho ao ver o vídeo, mesmo não sendo fã do Ozzy (digo fã no sentido de fã mesmo, porque gosto dele, mas não fanaticamente).

Esse garoo é realmente muito bom, nem imagino a fama que ele poderá ter quando crescer…

“¡Ja,Ja… toi’ tan feliz de aparecer en Tiramelaneta!”

¡Esa de rojo, yo me la…!

Como que la blusa no es de tu talla ¿verdad? 

“Si, si lo es, solo que no esta hecha para cubrir tanto… carisma que tengo”

“¡Ooops, creo que se me bajo el cierre de la chamarra, perdon (je je je)”

“Caray, creo que no me peine despues del revolcon”

¡Espera, no te muevas, este angulo es muy bueno para la foto!

“¿En serio, por que?”

Kelly derrochando belleza por su casa

“¡Me choca lavar la ropa!”

Pero si claro, si ya sacamos a la madre, habia que postear al retoño, ya que a ambas les gusta presumir lo que tienen. ¡Y vaya que Kelly tiene muuucho que presumir! La alegre gordita no solo gano carnita en la pancita, sino que la naturaleza no fue tan culera y le puso un par de gordos, jugosos y muy chupables atributos para compensar. Aunque no llega al extremo de su jefa, que le vale pito enseñar los pezones al mundo, si le gusta dar cuenta de el envidiable tamaño de sus glandulas mamarias. Podria estar algo fea y ser bastante rara, sin embargo, en una hora de urgencia genital…¿le dirias que no a esa chaparrita necesitada de amor?

Sharon Osbourne, la esposa del mitico cuasi zombie Ozzy, es una mujer de los mas valemadrista y tiranetas del orbe. Aparte de casarse con el inestable Ozzy (para lo cual se necesita tener muchas agallas o muy poco inteligencia), se ha dedicado a promover el metal subterraneo y promover bandas  pequeñas con un gran sonido, mediante el afamado y rompemadres festival Ozzfest, la mayor plataforma de lanzamiento para las bandas metaleras.

Ademas de empresaria, tambien es una hembra  de cuidado, pues mas de una vez se ha liado a golpes con cualquiera que se le ponga al tiro, lo cual le ha causado multiples problemas con la ley.

Mas recientemente, se hizo famosa con al aburrido programa familiar de The Osbourne, en la que lo unico que podia uno ver era el lastimoso estado fisico y mental, fruto de años de desenfreno del abuelo Ozzy, las jugosas tetas y el caracter de niña mimada de la gordita Kelly y el total pendejismo de su hijo . Con todo, el personaje mas interesante era el de Sharon, la que tenia mas cerebro.

Pero toda mujer tiene vanidad y, como el paso y peso de los años le hicieron mella en su carne, la amigable Sharon se le ocurrio darse una Total Makeover en la que se arreglo todo, culo, tetas, cintura, piernas… todo para verse mas sabrosa y convertirse en el oscuro deseo sexual de los amigos (y amigas) de sus hijos.

Claro, como el cambio de cuerpo le dio buenos resultados, Sharon estaba ansiosa de presumirlos. Se empezo a vestir con ropa escotada y entallada para que todos pudiera ver lo cachorra que podia ser a los 54 años.

Y al final, no pudo contener la alegria de ver sus tetas grandes y firmes y de plano le valio verga enseñarselas a todo el que quisiera ver (claro, en lugares donde habian muchos fotografos, no habia que desperdiciar la oportunidad de  la publicidad). Y asi, en varias ocasiones, Doña Sharon se la paso mostrando las gomas a sus fans, hasta que el buen Ozzy le puso el alto. El pago las ciriguias, esas tetas son de su propiedad y no le gustaba nada la idea de que el publico en general gozara de la vista de lo que solo el tenia el derecho de contemplar en privado…¡chale!

¡Hola Doña, que guapa amanecio y que grandotas se le ven las bubis!  

“¿Deveras?  ¡Gracias!”

“¡Miren perros!  ¿se les antoja o no?”

“Me quedaron ricas ¿verdad?”

“¡¡¡Heeey, no andes enseñando a todos lo que es mio!!!”

 ¡Kelly, presentame a tu mamacita, a ver si se apunta para el trio!

“¡Claro que me apunto! Antes, le envidiaba a mi hija estas cosotas que no caben en la mano, pero ahora estamos iguales. ¡A darle gusto al cuerpo!”

  “Mamà, ya sueltame la teta…¡aunch, no me la aprietes tan fuerte!…¡no me pellizques el pezon!…ay, creo que ya me gusto… tu siguele, no hay problema…

Blizzcon happened this last weekend, whom my brother Josh payed for the internet streaming of it. He will also be receiving Grunty the Murloc.  Blizzard, as we all know now, has announced Cataclysm the next expansion for World of Warcraft.  My family (6 of us) all play WoW, so we were all really wanting to watch the panels for WoW on the stream. It was awesome to see what would be coming up for all of us. I loved to listening to the audience’s reactions to the things they will be changing in game before Cataclysm comes out, and what will happen when it does. My family is also big fans of the web series The Guild, which was very entertaining to see Felicia Day being interviewed and to see the sneak peek of season 3 along with all the behind the scenes. I really enjoyed the costume, sound-a-like, and dance contest. I loved that Jay Mohr really couldn’t help his kinkiness/flirting with the winner of the Costume contest, which was Mistress of Pain from DiabloII. After the closing ceremonies of Blizzcon,  Ozzy Osbourne had a concert. It was great Ozzy sprayed people pretty much every song with a white gew then threw a bucket of water on them. I hope to one day be able to go to Blizzcon!
