Macy s Thanksgiving Day Parade 2009

Every year at this time I look forward to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Its an annual parade presented by Macy's. The three-hour event is held in New York City starting at 9:00 a.m. EST on Thanksgiving Day.

In addition to the well-known balloons and floats, the parade also features live music and other performances. Btoh ollege and high school marching bands from across the country, such as James Madison University's Marching Royal Dukes, participate in the parade, and the television broadcasts feature performances by famous singers as well as bands. The Radio City Rockettes are a classic performance too.
Pickerington High School Central leading the parade in 2001. Macy's Parade: The PHS Marching Tiger Band from Ohio, has marched in the parade four times, and was selected to lead the parade in 2001

On the NBC telecast from in front of the flagship Macy's store on Broadway and 34th Sreet, the marching bands perform live music but most of the other live acts use pre-recorded music with the performers lip-syncing their singing. This is why I love the Macys Thanksgiving day parade

New Moon Movie Reviews

New Moon Movie Review Consensus from Rotten Tomatoes and various other sources about the New Moon Twilight movie:

The Twilight Saga's second installment may satisfy hardcore fans of the series, but outsiders are likely to be turned off by its slow pace, relentlessly downcast tone, and excessive length.

There are people here who won't "get it" when it comes to the Twilight - New Moon movie. And that's fine. They don't connect with the stories, and this clearly isn't for them. But the movie looks tremendous, the dialogue works, there are numerous well placed jokes, the acting is on point. The fact that certain folks won't be moved is irrelevant as this isn't the way they relate, and they're too far past that moment of having your heart shattered into a thousand pieces. In a way you've got to envy them, as they've already taken the Death Cab for Cutie song to heart. For me? The film worked surprisingly well, and I'm interested to see the direction they'll take with Eclipse. So long as there are people there will be love stories, I hope they all feel as lush and lively as this one.

The plot of the movie New Moon involves a love triangle between Jacob (Taylor Lautner), Bella (Kristen Stewart), and Edward (Robert Pattinson). The setting is again Forks, WA. The supernatural takes center stage with werewolves and vampires battling it out for Bella supremacy. So then, Bella Swan and the gang are back, only this time they've clearly been given solid direction and are up to the task. They're asked to carry a ton of emotional weight, and they generally come through. Little moments about this film stand out, and the interaction between Bella and Edward in the New Moon movie feels a little more subtle, a little more nuanced. There's a moment early on where Bella reacts to something Edward doesn't say, a huge improvement from the monster telegraphs of the first film. The obsessive and seemingly limitless first love of your teenage years feels very well thought out, even if it's with a vampire, even if you happen to run with a few werewolves.

Thanks for reading my reviews about the Twilight - New Moon vampire movie.

Steven Tyler Leaving Aerosmith

After 40 years, Steven Tyler has quit the rock and roll band Aerosmith by walking out on the “Crazy” rockers following a performance in Abu Dhabi last month, if band guitarist Joe Perry is to be believed.

The report comes just months after the singer spoke out publicly to dismiss reports the rock band was on the verge of splitting. In August, Tyler broke his shoulder after falling off stage while performing in South Dakota, and the group was forced to scrap the remainder of its summer tour.

Fedor vs Rogers Fight Video

Previously undefeated martial arts fighter (mma) Brett Rogers gave the Russian legend his toughest fight in recent years at Strikeforce/M-1 Global "Fedor vs. Rogers,"

The first attacks included a looping right and left from Emelianenko and a sneaky left from the burly Minnesotan that snuck under the Russian's right arm, produced a surprising result: a cut on the bridge of the seemingly impervious Russian's nose.

Fedor Emelianenko struck and grabbed Rogers for the first of a few key clinches, then tossed the 265-pound fighter to the canvas as if he were 50 pounds lighter. Rogers wisely rushed to his feet before Emelianenko could snag an appendage and atack.

Rogers was hardly ready to quit the fight, though. Pushing Emelianenko to the fence, he stalled the former Pride champion, as blood trickled down his face.

Fort Hood Texas Army Base Shooting

A shooting at the Ft. Hood Army base in Texas this afternoon has left at least 12 people dead and 31 wounded. The Army said that one shooter was killed and two others apprehended, and ABC News identified one of the shooters as Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan.

Army deputy chief of staff Gen. Peter W. Chiarelli has been at the head of the efforts to reduce the number of Army suicides, which hit a three-decade-high in 2008. [Update 5:01pm: A previous version of this post stated that Gen. Chiarelli was headed to Ft. Hood today, the Army tells us he is not.]

News organizations are updating as quickly as they can about the tragedy, but Twitter users are also expressing their concern and speculations on the social network, using the hashtags “#fthood” and “#forthood.” Topping the trending topics, which show the most popular topics at any given time, are “Fort Hood” “Texas” and “Major Malik Nadal.”
