American Idol Concert draws Anti-Gay Group Protest

By Jim Ziebarth

This past Sunday at an American Idol concert in San Jose, California, protesters from the Westboro Baptist Church made it clear that they strongly disagree with "homosexuality". According to their website, which is named God Hates Fags.com.......

Since 1955, Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) has taken forth the precious from the vile, and is therefore as the mouth of God (Jer. 15:19). In 1991, WBC took her ministry to the streets, conducting 41,002 peaceful demonstrations (to date) opposing the fag lifestyle of soul-damning, nation-destroying filth. In response, America bombed WBC & WBC on 8-2-2008. God is America's enemy: 5,058 dead soldiers; crashing economy. America crossed the line on June 26, 2003, when the Supreme Court (the conscience of the nation) ruled in Lawrence v. Texas that we must respect sodomy. WBC believes her gospel message to be this world's last hope. read more about WBC

One of Lambert's fellow American Idol friends was also preforming during the protest outside the concert. StarPulse.com has released the following.......Sarver wrote on his Twitter.com page, "Funny how people think it's a good idea to mess with a big Texan and his AI (American Idol) family. Adam is just fine, shakes it off and so should we. We are together in this thing. You mess with one you mess with all ten. We are strong and we are 1. For those outside protesting I say do not judge less ye be judged yourself. Guys don't mind these people, we are a strong family."

Utter disgust and astonishment. That's my feeling towards the Westboro Baptist Church. The web page they proclaim and advocate is nothing more then "hate" propaganda. Their church spreads hate. They tour throughout the U.S. screaming "hate" in Gods name.I don't know about their "god", but my God does not hate and would never tell his "children" to go out and preach for the devil

These churches, that are completely radical and on the verge of becoming a modern day cult, are spreading their message of hate across America, and using God's name to do it. Their are a lot of uneducated bigots not only in America, but all around the world who have and will continue to use hate as a weapon against others who have a different religious belief or who live a different lifestyle. The notion that hate can consume an individual or a group should not be taken lightly. All we have to do is clothes our eyes and look back in history to know that such things can and do happen.

In the end there will always be hate. Not just in America, but across the world. There will always be radical groups proclaiming "gods" name in their message of hate. In America we have rights. We have right to form and state our opinions, even when everyone else might not share our same views. Freedom is what we are entitled to. Just because we disagree and are appauled with these "hate" groups, they will always continue to exist and deliver their messages of damnation. What we can do is take a stand and shout out loud that hate will not not win. We can proclaim that hate will never be acceptable. Stand up and denounce hate, refuse to let hate dictate how we live our lives. We are in America, and we have rights. The right to be free. Free from Hate.

Piano For All - Learn How To Play Piano

By Chris Jensen

There are different ways to learn how to play the piano. With the hype of new technology, you can choose to learn how to play the piano online. You can also choose to learn it the traditional way - by ear.

Some might say that it is difficult to learn how to play the piano by ear. Indeed, it can be quite a challenge in the first few stages but as you practice more and progress into the next stages, you will find that the learning process becomes easier.

In learning how to play the piano by ear, you will need to work on melody. You can start by thinking of a song that you believe has a simple melody. Try picking out the notes in the melody then try playing them on a piano. To help you in this process, try to recognize intervals in the melody or the distance between two notes in the melody. Being able to easily determine intervals can help you in picking out a melody easily.

After you have learned about picking out the melody, you can try to start picking out chords. You will need this in harmonizing the melody with the chords. As a review, a chord is a combination of at least three notes that are played all at the same time. Beginners will typically learn three chords at a time, based on the first, fourth, and fifth notes of any scale in any key. As an example, the three basic chords in the C major key are C, F, and G. When taken together, these three chords include all the notes in the key of C.

You will also need to learn more about chord voicing. This refers to playing a chord in positions other than the root. For example, you will not always have to play the chord F in the order F-A-C. You can play it as A-C-F or C-F-A. Changing the position by which you play a chord will give it a different voicing.

Learning how to play the piano by ear will always involve melody, chords, and chord voicing. It is therefore important to keep these three things in mind as you try to learn how to play the piano in the traditional way.

The Role Of TV As of Late

By Marcus Wirthan

Who doesn't want to get his or her hands on the best TV shows? Don't you turn nostalgic when you are reminded of a particular episode from some F.R.I.E.N.D.S season? Aren't you turned on when you remember how nicely Baywatch was aired back in the good 'ol days? Don't you wish you had access to all those episodes that you had missed as a teenager, while attending school or playing ball? Well, thankfully, you have the option of catching up with those lost episodes by getting home a DVD of those TV shows.

DVDs of old TV classics seem to have swept the American audience and they are simply loving it! They don't have to worry about being there in front of the idiot box while the episode is being aired, anymore. The idea of being able to watch a whole season, at a stretch- without breaks or commercials is one of the most dominating factors behind people's going in and buying these DVDs. Be it old TV classics or newly aired shows- you can get your hands on any of them by getting home a DVD edition of the season. Besides, you will have unrestricted access to all these episodes forever.

Other than the fact that you will have an unrestricted access to some of your favorite TV shows, the nostalgia of getting home a DVD of one's favorite TV serial ever is more than enough to prompt people into buying these. Besides, some companies market special episodes with behind the scenes shots- which make these DVD all the more special and appealing to the avid collector. Some of the TV shows that are encased and etched in these DVDs are as old as 30 to 40 years- which makes them worth every penny you spend on the DVD.

Some people have sweet memories associated with TV shows from their childhood or teenage and the driving force behind their action of going in and getting their hands on the latest DVD of their age old TV favorite is so intense that they cannot resist buying it. The early days of television were dominated by sitcoms.

America was going through a transformational phase during the 50s and this phase lasted till the early 70s. The psyche, intellect and political orientation of most people belonging to that era was shaped and influenced by the sitcoms of that era. Those shows had a loyal fan following and touched upon the topics that have shaped American history ever since. Getting your hands on such TV shows can be one of the most enlightening and nostalgic experiences for those who associate themselves with that era. Apart from sitcoms, popular shows like The Simpson's, ER and Star Trek have been selling like hot cakes in the DVD format.

With technological advancements taking place with each passing day, newer and better hard copies of our favorite TV shows are coming out. HD versions and Blu Ray versions of the latest as well as classic TV shows are out. It will be great to observe the path these products take in the near future and we hope that the end user gets best in terms of options and quality.

A Good Fim, Find Out As We Review The Aviator

By Henrey Koperpark

While in production of his film Hughes is constantly pushing the boundaries of aviation and eventually buys TWA and challenges Pan Ams monopoly on international flights. Of course the Herculesmore commonly known as the Spruce Gooseis included in the film as well as the congressional hearings and Hughes eventual demise due to his obsessive compulsive disorder. The Aviator, deservedly nominated for Best Picture, and in my opinion, a much better film than the winner that year, Million Dollar Baby. This is a film about Howard Hughes and in particular his love for aviation. The film begins in Hughes directing era when he is making Hells Angels.

The Aviator has a stellar cast highlighted by Leonardo DiCaprios (Titanic,Gangs of New York) portrayal of Mr. Hughes. DiCaprio is wonderful at having an attitude about not caring about money, when ever there is a problem, his solution is to buy it or hire someone to fix it. For example Personally, I thought Leonardo DiCaprio could have won an Oscar for this role. I though both he and Don Cheadle (nominated for Hotel Rwanda) were better than Jamie Foxx in Ray, but we all have our opinions. hiring Professor Fitz, played by Ian Holm (Lord of the Rings), to monitor clouds for in teh background in the movie Hells Angels. DiCaprio is also great in slowly introducing the obsessive compulsive side of Howard Hughes. From being paranoid about washing his hands to the extreme side when he has locked himself in a room, totally naked, trying to avoid any type of germ.

The other outstanding performance, which did result in an Oscar, was Cate Blanchett (Elizabeth) playing Katherine Hepburn. She was incredible with her accent and the way she carried herself in general. As I mentioned this film has a great cast, and many very nice performances..Alan Alda (MASH) was nominated as best supporting actor for his role as Senator Brewster, Alec Baldwin (Beetlejuice) as Juan Trippe, and even a small role for Jude Law (The Talented Mr Ripley) playing actor Errol Flynn.

No your TV does not need adjusting, even the green peas on the plate are blue. The Aviator with its grand scale and top notch cast needed a great director like Martin Scorsese, as where I believe there are a handful of directors that could have done Million Dollar Baby. Behind the camera is Martin Scorsese (Best Director The Departed), and usually what ever he is involved with turns out nothing less than great. Again, another Oscar could have been won here as I thought for directing, he did a much better job and took more risks than Clint Eastwood for Million Dollar Baby. (Although I never mind seeing Clint Eastwood win anything, he has become an American icon.) For instance, look at the first hour of the Aviator, there are no greens in the movie to reflect a look and tone of the time.

As much as I have mentioned the word Oscar here, it did take home 5 Oscars and deservedly so. If you have not seen this film, this is really a great movie and worth watching. It will give you an appreciation of what Howard Hughes did for the field of aviation and the airline industry. At least see this once.
