Metal Singer Arrested in Murder For Hire Plot

If you watch Investigation Discovery, like just about everyone does I imagine since there are about 1500 different shows covering the same murders over and over, and every channel including the Oprah's Network shows some form of them, you have heard this plot before. Usually it isn't someone that is a "celebrity" of sorts, however. While chilling with his humidor accessories he may just have created a plot to hire a murderer.

As I Lay Dying singer Tim Lambesis was arrested Tuesday (May 7) after allegedly soliciting an undercover police officer to have his estranged wife killed.

According to Reuters, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department learned that Lambesis sought an accomplice to kill his wife, and he was taken into custody in Oceanside, California, after reaching out to the detective.

"The information came to us late last week," San Diego County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Jan Caldwell told Reuters. "We acted quickly on it. I believe that we averted a great tragedy."

Lambesis has said he considers himself to be a Christian and acknowledges that he finds inspiration for lyrical content from biblical texts. He is incredibly prolific, having released eight albums with As I Lay Dying between 2001 and 2012, as well as five releases via his solo side project Austrian Death Machine, where he sings and performs on all instruments. He also produced 11 albums for other artists and is part owner of Lambesis Studios.

Snare Drum Kits

When looking for the top selling snare drum kit, I came to quite a few that are considered the "best", or "most Popular", but I eventually settled on one that I think will serve my uses (A gift. I certainly don't have the drummer's rhythm...lol). A snare drum kit at guitar center is really where I have gone for all my music stuff lately simply because i have found what I needed every time I compared. Quite the selection of drum kits and of course guitar stuff. Just plain has the drum kit I was looking for and it is already annoying the parents of my cousin as we speak. ;)

Fox Pulls Recent Family Guy Episode from website depicting Boston Marathon Deaths

This is much more of a coincidence that this episode was made, and not made in direct relation to the Boston MArathon tragedy yesterday. It already aired before the marathon and isn't in any way related to the tragedy.

In the episode, protagonist Peter Griffin is asked by sports announcer Bob Costas about his performance at the marathon. A flashback shows Peter mowing down runners with his car.

“I’ll tell ya, Bob, I just got in my car and drove it,” Griffin says. “And when there was a guy in my way, I killed him.”

Later, Peter befriends a terrorist who, unbeknownst to him, is plotting to blow up a bridge. When Peter dials a cellphone the friend has given him, explosions and screams are heard. On some websites, an edited clip has been circulating that fuses the two scenes, making it seem — incorrectly — as if the explosion was at the marathon. Some commenters have implied that the show “predicted” the bombings.

While it is very much inappropriate for the timing, I still don't claim to have anything against joking about tragedies. It's not to me to decide how people deal with tragedy. Many, like myself, tednd to deal with it very soon after with humor rather than ongoing depression. I am a person that suffers with depression so being able to laugh as much as I can is absolutely necessary. Those that don't have depression wouldn't understand. I suppose they need to feel those negative emotions sometimes. I, on the other hand, try to feel thmem as littl eas possible since it is part of my everyday life already.

Hackers Claim to Post Celebrity Financial Data

Some "Russian" hackers are digging into the past of some celebrities all the way up to Mrs. Obama and Vice President Joe Biden it appears. Besides the political ones there are claims to have hacked into Jay-z, Mel Gibson, and other A-listers. This would make anyone collapse on their whiteboard stand.

A website that supposedly originated in Russia has posted what it claims is personal and financial information of several celebrities, law-enforcement officials and first lady Michelle Obama—documents whose authenticity the Federal Bureau of Investigation said it was working to verify.

The site features what it says are past home addresses and links to the credit histories of Mrs. Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, as well as Social Security numbers for others, such as singer Beyonce and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. FBI Director Robert Mueller, Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, actor Mel Gibson and Paris Hilton also had apparently private information posted to the site.

Paris

One of the most beautiful cities in the world. There is nothing more attractive than the cities of Europe with their rich history in the arts and beauty. Paris is over 2000 years old and is a fashion and cultural leader in the world. It's one of the few places in the world that you should make sure you visit in your lifetime. Best get a paris luxury apartment rentals as well before you head off to Paris.

I know a lot of people hate the Biebs, but wow...

OF course, the way that he is always putting out fake stories trying to get publicity can you really believe any of these stories? This one supposedly has some audio from it though. I'm not sure if these guys planned to use pneumatic sensor, but it sounds like they certainly were obsessed.

This is a follow up on a story from December in which some prison inmates hated Justin Bieber so much that they wanted to have him killed. Today they released more info on the plot in which they wanted to have him castrated.

Decided to Watch 'Carnivale' Finally

I never really knew what Carnivale was all about. Silly me I actually thought because of the way it is spelled that it was going to be some sort of Moulin Rouge musical or some nonsense. I never bothered to look into it. I knew it ended after 2 seasons and was cancelled so that left me even more reason to avoid it. Rather read the instruction booklet to my Security Software most of the time when I know the show doesn't actually end.

Then I heard a couple people talking about it one day and saying that it had some sci-fi/fantasy and battles of good vs. evil, heaven and hell, etc. Totally not what I was expecting obviously.

So I just finished season 1 today and I must say that this is one of the slowest moving shows that I have ever seen. That doesn't mean I didn't think it was great, however. I loved the first season immensely. The characters and their stories. The strange alternate world they live in with just enough from the real world to give it that cyberpunk sort of thing.

The problem? I know that it ends early. After season 2. Season 1 had a bit of a cliffhanger in it. Not a huge one that I couldn't live on without finding out what happens, but if season 2 ends this way as well I might be quite upset. I'm told that it digs a bit deeper and moves along at a faster clip though so hopefully I am not left totally wanting at the end of this unfinished show.

Dexter Now on During the Summer

In very recent news it appears that the possible final season of America's favorite serial killer, Dexter will be on this summer instead of the usual fall/winter schedule. Apparently it will start Season 8 on June 29th to try and split up their biggest shows of Dexter and Homeland and use them as lead ins to their new "hits".

While there has been no word if Season 8 will be the end of the line, many fans speculate that it will. The show has certainly moved into mediocre to terrible for at least the last 3 seasons so the sooner the better so I can quit watching it. I find the kuat bike racks on my car more interesting to view. *cough*

Yes...I think it sucks and I still watch it. Why? I started watching it from the very first episode when it first aired. The premise was awesome and I was on board from the get go. Most people never even heard of it until if you remember they showed a really censored version of season 1 on CBS. I think it ran durin gthe summer late night. Obviously it had to cut some parts out as it had cursing and I'm sure some nudity on Showtime.

So...yes I need to see how it ends no matter how done with the show I am and I will laugh at it and tell people how much it sucks the whole time!

Save Your Monopoly Token

After over 80 years the game of Monopoly is going to be getting rid of 2 of the iconic game tokens to make room for 2 new and more current tokens. A global vote is being held on Facebook here to save your favorite token, or to vote on which ones you want to go away. Currently (pretty much the 2 I expected it to be) the iron and the wheelbarrow are losing the battle.

Of course there are a lot of people wondering why they would do such a thing. Not just a democratic vote for a game that rewards being a sole dictator, but changing a classic. A business mogul game without all the headaches of finding Business Credit and Capital, while still being able to destroy the lives of family and friends. Obvious answer is money. This has and will give them a ton of press, and surely the Monopoly fanatics will have to go out and buy a "new" edition to keep up to date.

The funny thing is that we all know there will still be a "classic" version on the shelves with all the old pieces no matter what new ones are introduced. In fact, you have to wonder why they need to take any out in the first place right? I mean is it that big a deal just to toss 2 new pieces in the box and keep all the old ones? That makes too much sense of course. Then they couldn't sell a "classic" version as well!

'Hobbit' Earns $13 Million for Midnight Shows on Thursday

People lined up outside the crowd control rope barriers to get in for the midnight showing of "The Hobbit: An unexpected Journey" Thursday to rack up over $13 million for the show. Overseas showings earned around $27 million.

Good for a 3 hour movie at this time of day, but it didn't crack the top 10 of midnight releases. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" is the no. 1 spot holder with over $45 million for this type of show. The rest includes two other "Potter" pictures, four "Twilight" sequels, "The Dark Knight Rises," "The Hunger Games" and "The Avengers."
