Dio - Heaven and Hell (LIVE)

Here's the original, in case you wanted to compare. Yes, it's actually a Black Sabbath song, but while Ronnie James Dio was their singer. It was on their first album release with Dio as front man - in 1980, and he wrote the lyrics, although they're usually credited to Sabbath as a band.

I actually went to Walmart today, but it wasn't really for the purpose of "catching deals".. we needed stuff. It actually wasn't too bad, I think they had 3 registers open.

I think Hallmark may have created this particular card just to screw some guy(s) over. Some are even worse, however. They don't reveal it until the inside of the card. So.. Men out there: Read the darn card!!

Apparently It's Working

Many of you have probably already seen this, or also received it in your inbox, but here is an email I received from Fight For The Future:

Today was nuts, right?

Google launched a petition. Wikipedia voted to shut itself off. Senators' websites went down just from the sheer surge of voters trying to write them. NYC and SF geeks had protests that packed city blocks.       ^Image Source

You made history today: nothing like this has ever happened before. Tech companies and users teamed up. Tens of millions of people who make the internet what it is joined together to defend their freedoms. The free network defended itself. Whatever you call it, the bottom line is clear: from today forward, it will be much harder to mess up the internet.

The really crazy part? We might even win.

Approaching Monday's crucial Senate vote there are now 35 Senators publicly opposing PIPA. Last week there were 5. And it just takes just 41 solid "no" votes to permanently stall PIPA (and SOPA) in the Senate. What seemed like miles away a few weeks ago is now within reach.

But don't trust predictions. The forces behind SOPA & PIPA (mostly movie companies) can make small changes to these bills until they know they have the votes to pass. Members of Congress know SOPA & PIPA are unpopular, but they don't understand why--so they're easily duped by superficial changes. The Senate returns next week, and the next few days are critical. Here are two things to think about:

1. Plan on calling your Senator every day next week. Pick up the phone each morning and call your Senators' offices, until they vote "no" on cloture. If your site participated today, consider running a "Call the Senate" link all next week.

2. Tomorrow, drop in at your Senators' district offices. We don't have a cool map widget to show you the offices nearest you (we're too exhausted! any takers?). So do it the old fashioned way: use Google, or the phonebook to find the address, and just walk in, say you oppose PIPA, and urge the Senator to vote "no" on cloture. These drop-in visits make our spectacular online protests more tangible and credible.

That's it for now. Be proud and stay on it!

P.S. Huge credit goes to participants in the 11/16 American Censorship Day protest: Mozilla, 4chan, BoingBoing, Tumblr, TGWTG, and thousands of others. That's what got this ball rolling! Reddit, both the community and the team behind it, you're amazing. And of course, thanks to the Wikimedians whose patient and inexorable pursuit of the right answer brought them to take world-changing action. Thanks to David S, David K, Cory D, and E Stark for bold action at critical times.

P.P.S. If you haven't already, show this video to as many people as you can. It works!

Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon Black Sabbath

Yep - I'm sure you're aware of the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon thing where you name two actors/actresses/celebrites, and figure out how, in fact, they are connected. Now we have Six Degrees of Black Sabbath, which may or may not include Black Sabbath.

Click the link above or the image header.. then input two artists, musicians, bands, rockers, etc., and hit enter.

Here are some of the more interesting ones I tried:

• Staind & Chevelle
• Mike Portnoy & Neil Peart
• Bruce Dickinson & Barry Manilow
• Sully Erna & Lars Ulrich
• Five Finger Death Punch & Celine Dion

Have fun!
