Anti-Gay Group Hounds Adam Lambert Concert

By Jim Ziebarth

This past week in San Jose, California, at an American Idol concert, "Hate" was the vibe outside. A group of protesters from a Topeka, Kansas, church, named Westboro Baptist, were directing their hateful chants towards homosexuality. Their website, God Hates Fags.com explains their view points and beliefs......

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

Michael Sarver was also present at the American Idol concert. Lambert And Sarver's friendship was a direct effect of American Idol, and according to StarPulse.com, 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."

Disappointment is what I feel towards the Westboro Baptist Church. Their website is dedicated to nothing more then hate. Isn't the purpose of a church to spread love and understanding, and proclaim Jesus, and love their fellow man? This is not what their web site promotes. They travel all over the United States proclaiming "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

Now while this is only one of a few hate derived "so called" churches, it still reminds me that their are some ignorant, uneducated, bigots out there, who have nothing better to do then to humiliate and belittle other people for the choices and lifestyles they live. The thought of people who are crusading for religious reasons, when in fact are doing nothing more then breeding hate, is disturbing. The fact that hate could consume a person let alone a group is nothing new in America, or the rest of the world.

The point I want to make is that we do live in America, and we do have a right to express our opinion. Even when our views and religious beliefs don't agree with everyone elses. We are all entitled to freedom, so while we might not agree with churches like this, they will still exist. It is our job to inform others that hate is not the way to win. It is not the way to get your views across. It is not the way we should raise our children. Stand up, let your views be known, and tell people like this that hate is not right, that hate is not acceptable. Stand up and proclaim that you will refuse to hate and refuse to let hate dwell in your life. This is America, and we have the right to be free. Free from hate

Deciding On A Guitar Amp

By Frank Frederics

Everybody likes music and if you are a guitar player you want that the sound that is produced that your electric or acoustic guitar have the quality you want. The sound of the quality is determined in first place by the quality of the instrument and in second place by the amplification equipment you have.

For this purpose, you need a good guitar amp. Choosing a guitar amp is not a difficult task, and the only thing you need to know are some basic tips that will help you to get the perfect guitar amp.

There are several types of guitar amps and all of them have different level of power, equalization and other important features that will help you to produce a different and more powerful, less powerful sound.

If you have a simple electric acoustic guitar and you are going to play your guitar indoor in a place that don't require a large place, you can use a small guitar amp that can cost about $100 or less. There are different brands but I don't want to talk about brands. For choosing a guitar amp the most important thing is select a good brand and test your instrument in the shop you purchase your guitar amp.

There are a couple of options you can test in the same place you are attempting to purchase the guitar amp. Also there is a special guitar amp of bass guitars. Bass guitar require a stronger guitar amp in capacity and you never should connect a bass guitar in a simple guitar amp because it could cause problem to your equipment.

I highly recommend that you ask to the seller the guitar amps that are specially designed for electric guitars in the case you have an electric guitar.

Pirate Costumes For Children and Adults

By Mik Smith

When Walt Disney Pictures released their first 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movie in 2003 it soon became evident that they were onto a winner.

Since the early days of film when there were such classics as 'Captain Blood ' in 1935 and 'The Sea Hawk ' in 1940 there have been very few films about pirates that are worth any real mention. Only a few examples come to mind such as Roman Polanski's 'Pirates' in 1986 and 'The Goonies' which made good use of a pirate-based storyline. Another movie that should also be mentioned, albeit for different reasons is 1995's 'Cutthroat Island'. This calamity of a movie ended up costing an unbelievable $100 million dollars at the time. The film went on to recover a mere $11 million dollars. The Guinness Book of World Records describes it as 'the largest box office loss' whilst The Washington Post said that 'Cutthroat Island's' lame cliff-hangers are enough to make you a cliff jumper'.

So, as you can see, there was a gap in the movie industry just waiting to be filled with a good old fashioned pirates flick.

If you arerunning an 'adult pirates party' then (yo, ho, ho and) a bottle of rum would be a fitting drink for your guests. Perhaps you could make some cocktails as well. You could easily come up with some appropriate names for them such as 'a shot across the bows' or 'shiver me timbers'. You can see how much fun this could all be!

For the meeker lady Renaissance Fairy peasant garb is just as acceptable. A chemise or peasant blouse with full sleeves, a bodice or corset, and under-skirt and accenting over-skirt. If she was a lady pirate, she may also be wearing a frock coat over this costume, but for sure she will also be carrying all traditional weaponry, including a (plastic) bodice dagger!

If you are organising a themed pirate fancy dress costume party then you could also make up some pirate-style games and activities for your guests. How about a treasure-hunting game?

In interviews, after the release of the first film in the series, 'The Curse of the Black Pearl', Johnny Depp confessed that he had partly modeled his character on aging rocker Keith Richards. Richards made a cameo appearance in the third film of the series, 'At World's End', as Captain Teague who is actually Captain Jack Sparrow's father. He was supposed to have made an appearance in 'The Curse of the Black Pearl' but the writers couldn't manage to fit him into the story.

Unfortunately, audiences will have a long wait before the next installment of 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. The fourth film in the series, 'The Fountain of Youth', is scheduled for release in 2012.
