Funny stories about the maps to the Stars Homes
Since movie stars have moved into the big mansions of Beverly Hills and Bel-Air, Vendors have sold maps of their homes with varying accuracy. Although most stars resent unwanted intrusions of fans, many take it with good humor. Sitting in his swimming pool, Oliver Hardy would welcome fans who climbed over his fence. “Hey, How about a dip?” In the earliest days, Charlie Chaplin and Douglas Fairbanks would drive up next to people with star maps and ask them for directions. And more recently, television producer Aaron Spelling would come out and pitch show ideas to tourists. Buying a star’s home could bring unexpected baggage. Doris Day’s love of homeless animals was well-known to her fans. For several years after buying her house, the new owners posted a sign that said, “Please do not leave your small dogs and cats, Miss Day has moved!”

Many celebrities simply tire of the fan attention. Paul Newman and Joann Woodward put their Beverly Hills house on sale after they found out it was on the star maps. Pop star Prince threw rocks at passing tour buses. Yet the star maps had their uses. Once actor Lee Marvin was so drunk he couldn’t find his house, so he pulled over and bought a star map to locate it. Unfortunately, it was a new house so it was not on the map yet!

Cyril May and Jack McDonald have just released a new tune called “Mums”, a loving salute to mothers everywhere.

One of the greatest accomplishments a woman can fulfill in her lifetime is to raise her children. Motherhood is often a thankless job, but Cyril May and Jack McDonald have just released a new tune called “Mums”, a loving salute to mothers everywhere.

Cyril performs the vocals on the song, softly spoken in his mild Australian accent, like a love poem with gentle instrumentals in the background, creating an atmosphere of affection and appreciation.

‘Oh they say that men are the stronger sex,
But you know in the long run
I’m sure the power of the people in this old world
Comes one hundred percent from Mums’

Mothers will feel a renewed sense of their own priceless value while listening to this kind-hearted and sweetly sentimental song. And children will perhaps see their “Mums” in a new light and be a little more thoughtful.

‘Such sacrifices have they made for us
And such hard work they have done
So how can we repay them?
There’s no way ‘neath the sun.’

From diapers to diplomas, mothers keep life running smoothly, and often make it look much easier than it really is. For this, and so much more, we owe our mothers a debt of gratitude, and now we have Cyril May and Jack McDonald to thank for this heartfelt tune.

Genre: Punk Rock
Title: End of The Century-The Story Of The Ramones
Format: DVD

End Of The Century-The Story Of The Ramones is one of the very best DVD career documentaries I have ever viewed; it is the type of project that deserves consideration for an award.

The Ramones where the heartbeat for a generation of punk rockers and inspired so many bands, it goes beyond words. Ironically, they never really made it when it comes to album sales; sadly, the people that they inspired left them in the dust in that respect. I can see why the band had such a bitter attitude towards the music business and the entire process of getting their music out. They did it their own way and created some of the best rock music every recorded, I emphasize that, it was not just punk, they recorded some great rock-pop songs. The never compromised their ideals and beliefs, the just played.

While I was fascinated watching this story, I was at the time very saddened how it ended. Dee Dee, Joey, and Johnny are all gone now and all that remains is the music, thank god for that, nobody can ever take that away from us. This was a crazy group of guys, there was a lot of fighting going on all the time, there is some early footage of them on stage arguing about what song to play. Members of the band and people associated with them discuss all of the drugs and drinking stories, the typical scenarios in most rock groups, piece by piece. The fact that they were a bunch of street kids from NYC made their chemistry even that much more volatile, and their music was a reflection of their personalities.

This is a snapshot of life, its does not get any more real and honest than this. Everyone interviewed is right up front about everything that happened during the development of the band. Dee Dee, visibly strung out throughout the interviews, seemed totally whacked out and ended up dieing of an overdose of heroin. It is amazing he lasted as long as he did. Johnny was very bitter and painfully honest about everything, many times answering questions with a straight face and a blank unfeeling stare. The head-to-head confrontation between Johnny and Joey really heated up when Johnny stole away Joey’s girlfriend, yet they remained together, their music was a bond that could not be broken regardless of anything else that happened in their lives. The legendary nightclub CBGB is discussed at length, Joey talks about how the floor was like a minefield of dog shit and sawdust and the audience was miniscule at the time, yet that is when the buzz about the group started. Of course, as they say, the rest is history, and it is all on this DVD.

There was a lot covered on this DVD, I think I will have to watch it again as I am sure I had to miss some points of interest along the way. It is just like a good movie, it has substance, length, and it holds you spellbound through its entirety. I am one of the guilty people that did not acknowledge this band while they were making their music, all of the realizations of how great they were came long after the fact for this listener. Well, I did not miss the boat entirely; I just was not there to see it set sail. Their legend and music lives on and this documentary is surely full of some jolting stories. As Johnny said before he passed away last year-”It’s accurate. It left me disturbed.” Well, I concur, it left me the same way.

The case of the “wine cellar” or “a dozen wines for all times”

It’s cheaper by the dozen, for an everyday wine cellar, all you need are strong shelves, a cool spot and 12 bottles (one case) of wine. Always keep a bottle of sparkling wine and a bottle of white ready to drink in the refrig. Between that and the 10 in the rack, you’ll have a case that is ready “just in case”.

dozen any time wines - 3 Whites and 3 Reds
Three bottles each of Cabernet Franc (Cab-er-nay Fronc) and Chardonnay (Shard-don-a) or Pinot Grigio (Pee-no-Gree-gee-oh). Great all-purpose wines for almost any occasion. These should be simple Virginia wines you’d be just as happy drinking with a weekday dinner. Others- For whites, a Seyval Blanc (Say-voll-Blonc), Viognier (Vee-on-yea) or a Chardonnay is a good choice; if it doesn’t have too much oak, it pairs with everything and works in any sauce. For red, a Virginia Cabernet Franc or Chambourcin (Sham-boor-san) are versatile to cook with and easy to drink.

Special White
Like that Virginia Gold Medal Chardonnay or Viognier you’ve been dying to try.

Wild White
Riesling (Reez-ling) or a soft white blend like Veramar Tres Blanc that goes wonderfully with Asian flavours or other ethnic spicy foods.

Special Red
A heritage blend or as we say here in Virginia, “Meritage”, an interesting Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon and Merlot blend that makes a red Bordeaux for a great pasta wine.

Big Red
Wine for that night you feel like plopping a steak on the grill. This can be full-bodied Cabernet or a Norton, –or whatever chewy red you like with red meat.

Ice, late harvest or dessert wine
Virginia has some excellent wines in this area, the late harvest Vidal Blanc (Vee-doll-Blonc) works great.

Sparkling Wine.
Brut (Broot) a sparkling blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Usually dry.
One goes in the fridge for a spur-of-the-moment celebration.

Now, that’s a case you can solve. The beautiful part is you get to have wine on demand, and you only need to replenish, as your stash gets low and most Virginia wineries offer a discounts on a case- cheaper by the dozen. Cheers!

Numerous individuals who had zimmer hip lawsuit applied in their hip cup replacement surgical procedures are determining that there are negative effects that far surpass the normal expectations for recuperation. These people are experiencing a lot of unnecessary pain for longer periods of time, expecting revision surgical processes and elevated medical costs, and losing revenue by being taken out of the workplace at their normal jobs. Although Zimmer Holdings, Inc. is postulating that that their implant is not defective and not to be held accountable for the faulty surgical procedures, many individuals are filing cases against them and getting settlements.

In October, 2008 Zimmer announced that it had set aside $47.5 million to compensate for claims filed against them. Many docs are not 100% convinced that the hip implant is not faulty as the company has suggested. In fact, when Zimmer offered on-line training to doctors in order to instruct them what was supposedly more accurate methods for doing the implant surgical procedure, approximately half of the doctors declined to take part. Therefore, the entire state of affairs stays on to be bothersome for everyone involved, but none more than the hundreds of unfortunate people who are facing revision operation due to the issues with their implant not staying tight in the socket.

These tormented implant recipients definitely merit some help and compensation which obviously is why product liability lawyers are telling them to initiate lawsuits. zimmer durom cup hip implant lawyers has been paying some of these claims, too. Nevertheless, even if the payoff they are being offered seems like a lot to them, in most cases implant recipients are deciding too fast and with no provision or allowance put in place for ongoing problems in the future. Without waiting to find out what an actual case is worth, people may find themselves paying thousands of dollars from their own personal assets when further complications return.

If your orthopedic MD informs you that you will need to undergo a revision surgical procedure to resolve your Zimmer Durom hip replacement device, contact an lawyer as soon as humanly possible.

Once your lawyer determines that you have a case, be prepared to stick it out for awhile in order to get the very best settlement that you could possible get. Pay close attention to the wisdom and advice that your attorney provides for you and do not rush the process including the restitution. This is the time to be patient and ensure the largest amount of money available to you.

Legions of betters will likely have discovered the phrase “offshore sports betting” recently, but are not completely clear on what that actually means. A foreign betting web site basically works out of the rule of a given nation instead it can be a net based gambling website which has the bulk of its file servers inside the boundaries of a country in which internet wagering is not prohibited. In a nutshell then, it is a wagering web site that functions outside the land of the consumer. Live gambling webpages are mostly regulated by three organizations. These corporations are OSGA (the Offshore Gaming Association), IGC (Interactive Gaming Council) and the Fidelity Trust Gaming Association FTGA.

sports betting online neteller

The Offshore Gaming Association is in fact a self-regulating agency which presently audits the thriving overseas betting industry in an enterprise to afford sports gamers the capability to easily determine trustworthy internet sites to play games of destiny on, without stress. It attempts to preserve client’s rights, and they charge no yearly costs. The association are a professional and objective third party affiliation that asserts unprejudiced impressions, suggested by customer feedback, unbiased analysis, conversations, insider advice and also supplies inside intelligence.

The Interactive Gaming Council are a not-for-profit organisation. The administration was created to provide a forum for involved participants to address controversies also to boost collective concerns in the global interactive gaming business, in an effort to establish just and also responsible business precepts and methods which raise end user trust in web based sports gaming commodities and services, and to aid as the sports gambling trade’s generic procedure counselor and in addition the IGC operates as an info hub.

The Interactive Gaming Council have built up a reputation for dependability, equity and plausibility thanks to the scrupulous criteria it displays, and also its appeal for businesses of proper practise. The IGC monitors offshore sports gambling through implementing an original 10-point code of behavior and in addition charges gaming business concerns fees for the use of their logo. Dissatisfied customers may, should they want to, state their disagreements to the Interactive Gaming Council.

The FTGA was formed in a venture to compose a standard which will reform the transactions of internet based sports gambling trading operations. The council understand that by conducting business entirely with businesses of good standing, they are able to shape a coalition of the most trustworthy and professional cyberspace gaming businesses multinationally. In short, these are councils that inspect the behavior practised by online sports gambling and which should in time assist to mitigate a lot of the apprehensions experienced by doubters. Web based sports gaming websites are consistently safe, in as much as personal details should not be demanded and in addition the payments not to mention the betting odds are as balanced and fair as in a regular Vegas-style stake. They wipe out travel time, but still maintain of a casino, but nowadays you may play in the comfort of your own beloved surroundings.

Both Napster and Microsoft Music Service are working on new way to get customers to download music file to their iPod and otherportable mp3 players for less than $1 per song. Actually, significantly less. Both of these music service are working on a way allow customers to downloads as much music as they want as long as it goes directly to an iPod or similar portable music player.

This is great news for customers who still think $1 per song is too steep. Although the price model words for one song, 10 songs or even 100 songs, it starts getting outrageous when you go by factors of ten. If an iPod holds 10,000 songs and you want to fill it up, you would have to spend $10,000. Most people can fill up the iPod in less than a year.

Unfortunately, they probably won’t spend $10,000 on music, in any single year. So, what you could have is a legal product, the iPod, being used to hold thousands of illegal songs because the space is there. (assuming the iPod would be open later on to all mp3 formats.)

Napster has a workaround

Napster is the first to announce that it is working on a subscription model that would allow it’s user to pay a cheap subscription fee with no restrictions on how many songs they can download. By their estimates, a user can probably download 10,000 songs for about $180. Unfortunately, the Napster system does not work with the iPod so customers can only take advantage of this offer if they purchase either of two Napster approved portable mp3 players.

The Microsoft model would also allow customers to download a significant number of files for less than the average cost of $1 per song. Microsoft is another company that is also locked out of the iPod. They will distribute the songs via Microsoft approved portable mp3 players.

This new pricing model is radical change for the digital music industry. This came about because the success of iTunes has highlighted all that is good and bad about the ways music is sold online.

It shows that customers will buy online and they will browse through digital catalogs for individual songs rather than entire albums. But, it also shows that a lot of work needs to be done to make the mp3 security codes and portable players more compatible. If Apple continues to dominate the portable mp3 player market with the iPod, then customers will only have three choices:

1. Subscribe through iTunes because they want the iPod

2. Hack the iPod which Real Network is doing already

3. Or, ignore the most reliable portable mp3 player out there and deal with having a few files on their computers or on another less prominent player.

This is all great news for digital music fans, but we’ll have to wait and see how the recording industry responds to this cheap-for-all music model.

Is it sufficient to bring back the revenue streams that songwriters and singers have been losing to totally free services such as Kazaa and Grokster? No one knows.

The move is on. Last year millions of Americans switched from cable TV to satellite TV.

Why? When you compare satellite TV to cable TV you’ll discover the main reasons are cost, picture quality, program choices, and customer satisfaction.

Let’s check out the differences …

Cable vs. Satellite TV Fees

<> Cable TV fees across the country average $39.99 per month. In our area the cost for cable TV is $37.30 a month for 64 channels, plus $10.95 a month to add digital channels. Installation in one room is $39.95, plus $9.95 for each additional room.

<> Satellite TV fees from Dish Network are $31.99 per month for 60 channels, while DirecTV charges $41.99 per month for 115 channels. Both satellite TV providers currently offer free satellite TV equipment and free installation in up to four rooms.

Cable vs. Satellite TV Programming

<> Cable TV in most areas offers almost as many channels as satellite TV, and is broadcast in analog (over-the-air) format. If you want to have digital picture and sound you’ll have to pay an additional fee, usually $10 to $15 a month.

Satellite TV offers more channels than cable TV (more than 250 channels), and more HDTV (high definition TV) programming. All satellite TV channels are broadcast in digital format for the highest quality picture and sound.

Cable vs. Satellite TV Equipment

<> With cable you only need cable boxes that connect the incoming cable line to your televisions. There is usually no charge or rental fees for cable boxes, however, If you want a digital video recorder, you’ll have to pay an extra fee.

<> With satellite TV you need a satellite TV dish and TV receivers. Both Dish Network and DirecTV offer that equipment, plus installation, for free. Dish Network will give you a DVR (digital video recording) receiver or an HDTV receiver at no charge, while DirecTV charges $49.99 for DVR receivers and $299 for HDTV receivers.

Cable and Satellite TV Reliability and Customer Satisfaction

<> Cable TV outages average 3% to 5% per year. J.D. Powers and Associates ranks cable companies as good to poor in customer satisfaction.

<> Satellite TV outages average about 1%. J.D. Power and Associates has ranked the two satellite TV providers — Dish Network and DirecTV — higher in customer satisfaction than any of the cable TV companies for the last five years.

The Bottom Line

If you only watch a couple of shows a week, and you live in an area where you can’t get over-the-air TV and cable TV costs less than $20 per month, then cable may be your best option.

If, on the other hand, you want the biggest variety of shows, movies, sports, and news for the least amount of money … you want to watch your all your shows in digital video and sound … and you want the option of watching them in HD format and recording them on a DVR receiver, then satellite TV is what you’re looking for.
