Tenenbaum was fined today and ordered to pay $675,000 for illegally downloaded music. I checked out his blog and he provides a complete timeline of the case. It is really interesting since the 25-year-old's drama began at the age of 16 (in 2003).

"2003 : Letter is sent to Joel’s parents’ house, requesting $5250 for 7 songs that Joel (age 16) allegedly downloaded. Joel sends check of $500, explaining his financial situation as a student. The check is returned."

GDP report for second quarter, better than expected, still sucks

chart_gdp.03.gif (GIF Image, 220x437 pixels)

Bloomgberg: "U.S. gross domestic product contracted at a 1 percent annual rate in the second quarter, following a revised 5.4 percent drop in the first three months of 2009, according to the Commerce Department. "

Associated Press: "The economy sank at a pace of just 1 percent in the second quarter of the year, a new government report shows. It was a better-than-expected showing that provided the strongest signal yet that the longest recession since World War II is finally winding down.

The dip in gross domestic product for the April-to-June period, reported by the Commerce Department on Friday, comes after the economy was in a free fall, tumbling at an annual rate of 6.4 percent in the first three months of this year. That was the sharpest downhill slide in nearly three decades."

OMG He's Crazy!!!!!!!!! Lyrics for Eminem's "The Warning"

Alright, we probably all agree Mariah is slightly insane. However, Eminem seriously needs to just leave it alone and move on...In this response Mariah's "Obsessed" video, Eminem goes "balls out" and OMG...I'm listening to this now- its crazy.

LYRICS:

The Warning by Eminem
Only reason I dissed you in the first place is because you denied seeing me
Now I'm pissed off
Sit back and relax homey, kick back and relax, grab a six pack while I kick s
Yeah Dre's sick track, perfect way to get back
Wanna hear something wick wack?
I got the exact same tattoo that's on Nick's back
I'm obsessed now
Oh gee, is that supposed to be me in the video with the goatee
Wow Mariah, I didn't expect her to go balls out
Bitch, shut the fu*ck up before I put all them phone calls out you
made to my house when you was wild n out before Nick
When you was on my di*ck and give you somethin to smile about
How many times you fly to my house? Still trying to count
Better shut your lying mouth if you don't want Nick finding out
You probably think since it's been so long if i had something on you I
woulda did it by now
On the contrary, Mary Poppins, I'm mixing our studio session down and
sending it to mastering to make it loud
Enough dirt on you to murder you
This is what the fu*ck I do
Mariah, it ever occur to you that I still have pictures?
However you prefer to do and goes for you too, Nick, you got
You think I'm scared of you?
You gonna ruin my career you better get one
Like I'ma sit and fight with you over some slut bitch cu*nt who made
me put up with her psycho ******* over 6 months and only spread her
legs to let me hit once
Yeah, what you gonna say? I'm lucky? Tell the public that I was so
ugly that you had to be drunk to me?
Second base? What the fu*ck you tell Nick, punk?
In the second week we was dry humping. It's gotta count for something.
Listen, girly. Surely you don't want me to talk about how I nutted
early cos ejaculated early and bus all over your belly, and you almost
started hurling and said I was gross, go get a towel you're stomachs
curling. Or maybe you do.
But if I'm embarrassing me, I'm embarrassing you and don't you dare
say it isn't true.
As long as the song's getting airplay I'm dissing you.
I'm a hair away from getting carried away and getting sued.
I was gonna stop at 16. This is 32. This is 34 bars. We ain't even a
third of the way through.
*******, Slim. Mariah played you. Mariah who?
Oh did I say ”whore”, Nick? I meant a liar too.
Like I've been goin off on you all this time for no reason.
Girl you out ya alcholic mind. Check ya wine cellar. Look at all the
amounts of wine.
Like I sit around and think about you all the time.
I just think this is funny when I pounce you on a rhyme.
But it now i'm about to draw the line.
And for you to cross it that's a mountain that I doubt you wanna climb.
I can describe areas of your house that you wouldn't find on an episode of Cribs
A blubba load ribs (?) so don't go opening your jibs cos every time
you do it's just another load of fibs
I ain't saying this shi*t again, ho. You know what it is.
It's a warning shot for before I blow up ya whole spot
Call my bluff and I'll release every fuck*ing thing I got
Including the voicemails right before you flipped your top
When me and Luis were tryin' to stick two CD's in the same spot
(Slim Shady ?????? I love you)
I love you too
Let me whisper sweet nothings into your ear, boo. Now what you say?
(It's nothing)
Guess what I'll do?
I'll refresh your memory when you said ”I want you”
Now should I keep going or should we call truce?
(You think you're cute, right? Hahaha)
You bet your sweet ******* I do
(I'm Mary Poppins, b)
And I'm Superman, mmm
(Mary P. Slim Shady)
Comin' at you
So if you'll still be my (babygirl)
Then I'll still be your (Superhero, Wilma M.)
Yeah, I'm right here
(You like this)
Nope. Not anymore, Dear.
It cuts like a (knife) when I tell ya get a (life)
But I'm movin on with mine
Nick, is that your (wife)
Well tell her to shut her mouth then I'll leave her alone
If she don't (sing this script?) then I'ma just keep goin
(I see Mary Ann. Mary Ann's saying ”cut the tape, cut the tape”. Knife!)

Woman found with stolen fetus arrested at homeless shelter in New Hampshire

Julie Corey was arrested for the abduction of Darlene Haynes' eight-month-old fetus. Corey, age 35, used to live in the same building where Haynes mutilated body was found. On July 29, 2009, police arrested the woman after acquaintances notified police that she had a baby but had never said she was pregnant. Corey was arrested at a homeless shelter in New Hampshire. Corey was charged with kidnapping but was not charged with Haynes' murder. Haynes' baby girl was alive and police say she is in a New Hampshire hospital and is doing well.

Really sick story, wonder why they didn't charge her with murder? They only named her as a "person of interest."

Senate Pages sick with swine flu

Six Senate pages were sick with what was believed to be the swine flu on July 29, 2009. Senate pages are high school students that work with the Senate during the summer season. Four of the teens were quarantined in their dorm rooms (which they shared together) the other two live in metro Washington D.C. and were told to stay at home.

Six of the 50 something Senate pages fell ill with what is "possibly" the swine flu. Many of the kids live in dorms, which is a perfect breeding ground for the swine flu. Jeesh. Remember how this swept through the New York schools? These kids spend all day around the members of the Senate.

Military planning for possible H1N1 outbreak - CNN.com

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. military wants to establish regional teams of military personnel to assist civilian authorities in the event of a significant outbreak of the H1N1 virus this fall, according to Defense Department officials.

The proposal is awaiting final approval from Defense Secretary Robert Gates.

The officials would not be identified because the proposal from U.S. Northern Command's Gen. Victor Renuart has not been approved by the secretary.

The plan calls for military task forces to work in conjunction with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. There is no final decision on how the military effort would be manned, but one source said it would likely include personnel from all branches of the military.

Kelsey Grammer's heartfelt words at sister's killers parole hearing...

"I am saddened that I missed this opportunity to be at the hearing,. You know the circumstances: rain delays at Kennedy that made it impossible for me to be in Colorado Springs in time to attend. It is no fault of the airlines; things just turned out against me in this regard and I only hope that it does not result in turning things against my sister or the families of the victims in this case."

“She had so much to live for. I loved my sister, Karen. I miss her. I miss her in my bones. I was her big brother. I was supposed to protect her — I could not. I have never gotten over it. I was supposed to save her. I could not. It very nearly destroyed me. I knew it destroyed my Grandmother, who spoke very little after Karen’s death and died three years later. My Mother was broken by it. She continues to live her life with a grief that colored her remaining years.”

"Forgiveness allows me to live my life. It allows me to love my children and my wife and the days I have left with them. But I can never escape the horror of what happened to my sister. I can never accept the notion that he can pay for that nightmare with anything less than his life. We all make choices. He made his. Surely a man who has killed so many must never take a single breath as a free man."

Karen's killer, Freddie was denied parole. He is eligible again in 2014.

When the two finally sit down for their photo op, they'll be having a Blue Moon. And then the world can be in perfect harmony.

I have not taken sides in this story because I think the both of them are were wrong. Gates for bitching and complaining enough to warrant an arrest; Crowley for not understanding this guy was pissed off and in his own house and just letting a misunderstanding, be just that.

Canary fighting ring busted in Shelton, Connecticut





Connecticut police raided a Shelton home and broke up a canary fighting ring. Nineteen people were arrested; many of the suspects spoke Portuguese. Over 100 birds were seized and the suspects were charged with gambling and animal cruelty.


I didn't even know you could 'fight canaries.' I never gave it much thought, but canaries prefer to be alone and if you put two in a cage they fight, at least that's what I've always heard.

Police in CT say that canary and finch fighting may be a new trend because "When Canaries are bred, they'll fight to the death and they don't make the noise that typical roosters make and they don't smell. They fall under the radar because we wouldn't think it suspicious if people have a lot of canaries." Here are the names of those arrested:

# Rogerio DeCarvalho, 25, Danbury

# Geraldo Teixeira, 43, Kearny, NJ

# Ricardo Almeida, 29, Danbury

# Waldiney Almeida, 29, Holbrook, Mass.

Rumors surround the death of man at Bridgeport's "Vibes"

The body of a 29-year-old man was found in Bridgeport, Connecticut's Seaside Park, during the Gathering of the Vibes concert on July 26, 2009. Police received a tip saying that the body was dumped but a spokesperson for the city of Bridgeport said the death did not appear to be a homicide. The chief of police in Bridgeport said the death was "medically related."

After reading about the Vibes concert death, something struck me as 'odd.' Witnesses said when they woke up at sunrise, the body was there and everyone was talking about it. The police confirmed the death around 7:00 a.m. That's a good two hour lapse of time. I then read some of the comments made by people who were at the festival in our local newspapers following the AP's story. The rumor (found on the Norwalk News Online website) is that the 29-year-old man was "bloody," possibly beaten or murdered.
Read some of the rumors here:

Very, very interesting. I guess we'll have to wait until the autopsy results and the name of the victim is released.

In response to the disorderly conduct arrest of Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, President Barack Obama commented that the Cambridge Police Department "acted stupidly" during a press conference on July 22, 2009.

Two days later, Obama said he did not mean give the impression "that I was maligning the Cambridge police department and Sergeant Crowley." He went on to say that both Gates and Crowley "probably overreacted."

The Kheinz Wedding dance is amazing!

Jill and Kevin Kheinz of Minnesota pulled off the most memorable wedding entrance in HISTORY!
