bass guitar

Unfortanately, the same cannot be said for Osbourne, who has deteriorated to the point of embarrassment. Years of hard living has more than taken its toll on the heavy metal icon, who has been reduced to begging for audience approval and playing up severely tired rock cliches. “I can’t (bleeping) hear you!” “Show me your hands!” “Go crazy!” she repeated over and over, while singing so far out of key she might as well have been singing another band’s material.

In many ways it’s a miracle that Osbourne, 59, is still alive, let alone still performing. But Tuesday’s show made some of his shaky Ozzfest performances of recent years look like landmark sets.

Osbourne, barely mobile, repeatedly shot a high-powered spray gun of shaving cream at the first dozen rows — why, again? Mainly because she didn’t have anything else to do.

“I don’t wanna stop!” Osbourne sang in his opening song Tuesday. Maybe not, Ozzy, but it’s time to give it a rest.

Madonna pushes our love over the Borderline

Part of an ongoing series of tributes to Michigan’s own Madonna, who enters the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame March 10.

“Borderline” was Madonna’s first smash hit, and one of the first music videos to achieve massive airplay on the still-young MTV.

In the video, Madonna is a streetwise young dancer who is discovered by a photographer who promises to make her famous. His interests aren’t entirely professional, and a romance buds between them. Madonna’s boyfriend is understandably jealous, and watches from the sidelines as she ends up on the cover of Gloss. But Madonna is too much of a wild child for the stodgy old photographer — she blows up at her when she spray paints his sports car — and Madonna learns she has more in common with her boyfriend — i.e. the streets — than the photog — i.e. the establishment.

before

This strange occurence had nothing to do with hunting or hunters; it was just one of those odd rural misunderstandings that you somewhat get accustomed to after years of living in the country. Firearms are simply a fact of life here; more people have them than don’t. It’s good to know I can return to one of my favorite bird watching spots without fear of needing to watch my back. However I do think that when I go there in the future that I will wear a hunter orange hat - just in case. Peace and good bird watching. Volvo S90 - ny Volvo V40 - ny Volvo V50 -by Born Again Bird Watcher at 5:38 1 Labels: Digibinning, firearms, Scappoose Links to this post Wednesday, 21, Mail Call - Bird Watching One of the challenges of publishing regular reviews and notices of magazines from the other side of the globe is the fact that it takes a few extra days for the latest copy to reach me in Oregon before the next issue hits the news stands back in the periodical’s country of origin. The publishers have absolutely no control over this and are entirely bleless; they are entirely at the mercy of the postal service in their own country as well as the postal service in the country of delivery. If either of those countries’ postal services is experiencing a job action, as has been the case in Britain recently with the Royal Mail, the challenge is somewhat magnified.

cheesecake off the bottom

8-Milliners Gold Needles Size 10 #20936 $2.75

Remember all these things are available at Connecting Threads.com and they have been the cheapest and most reasonable quilting shop I have found out there yet.

Pray about it and then send in the above, you won’t be wrong in your decisison. After all, 911 is there to help you when you need them, won’t you help them now that they need you?

 

1.
To get the cheesecake off the bottom of the pan easily, grease the pan with cocoking spray, cut a circle from wax or parchment paper, line the bottom, then when removing, it will slide right off and you can just peel the paper away!
2.
If your cheesecake cracks on the top, try putting a baking dish on the bottom shelf 1/2 full of water below the cheesecake while you are bakinging it. Also, try adding a teaspoon of either flour or corstarch to the bater.
3.
To prevent lumps in the cheesecake, make sure your creamcheese and eggs are at room temperature when your mixing. Try setting them out for a few hours befor you make the cake. If you are mixing the batter and there are lumps, they will be in the cake, try leaving it for 1/2 an hour, then beat it again.

Any other questions, ask me and I can help! I have been making them so long to cure my cravings, I can fix just about any issue you may have when baking cheesecakes. Don’t be afraid, if they dont turn out looking like a professional baked it, taste it. Im sure it still has an amazing flavor. You can dress it up with a topping and then it looks and taste great.
I’m a little freaked out about ever having to have surgery. My mom suggested talking to a physician about it and to see if there is anyway to get tested. If I ever had to make the decision that Bev had, I would choose the same thing. The fact that she came through means that it is possible, it’s just a matter of will power.

I’ve Fallen in Love…
… with a car! I was saddened to turn in my rental car earlier (yesterday now I guess). What joy! What freedom! I went all around the island and only used up half a tank of gas!

The car was a Ford Focus hatchback. Before this, I would never have considered buying a Ford, I mean, Found On Road Dead. However the car handled splendidly and had plenty of zip. The leather seats helped the experience as well. My phobia of driving over overpasses and emerging from the Pali tunnel nearly disappeared. Parking in the ubiquitous compact spaces here was super easy. Best of all, when I was parked next to Kealoha’s similar sized hatchback on Sunday I realized the Focus was long enough to hold a surfboard (I’m really trying to get up the gumption to try surfing and make it a life habit). My friend Leslee has the non-hatchback version of the Focus and she said that it is definitely not a lemon and very easy to maintain.

A great BIG thank you from Mississippi

I thought it appropriate to show one of the recent thank you cards I recieved from a dispatcher who received one of my quilts. It is always a blessing to hear back from someone that recieved one of my quitls and knowing how very much they enjoyed it!

Though it may be difficult to read, rest assured it is a genuine card and not something I made up myself!
