That's right, The Beeb is in the house as 'CSI' (Crime Scene Investigations) kicks off its 11th season on Sept. 23 (9PM ET, CBS) with the acting debut of teen dream Justin Bieber.

Picking up where the 10th season finale left off, the season premiere opens with Laurence Fishburner's Raymond Langston clinging to life after being stabbed by serial killer Nate Haskell (Bill Irwin) and the CSI team attending a funeral that takes a turn for the deadly ... or deadlier.

And then there's Bieber, who'll play Jason McCann (which also sounds like a pop star name), a teen who's mixed up with an alternative political organization. McCann has to make a tough decision regarding his brother -- to squeal or not to squeal -- during an interrogation with Nick (George Eads).





Bieber, who joins a list of 'CSI' musician guest stars that also includes Roger Daltrey, John Mayer, Taylor Swift, Travis Barker, Obie Trice and Akon, will also return for at least one more episode later in season 11, likely during February sweeps.


In other season 11 action:

- She's been with the show since the beginning, but 'CSI' Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Marg Helgenberger insists that season 11 will be her last as a CSI, and she'll appear in 19 episodes.

- Another butt-kicking female will be joining the action: 'Battlestar Galactica' and '24' alum Katee Sackhoff will play Detective Reed, a strong, smart investigator who's great at her job, but seems to be missing a sensitivity chip when dealing with other humans. She's in for several episodes, at least, and will debut during November sweeps.

- In the Sept. 30 episode of 'CSI,' cleverly titled 'Pool Shark,' Holly Madison ('Girls Next Door') guests as a woman who witnesses a shark attack at a Vegas casino club's swimming pool. Elliot Gould plays Earnest Boozell, the club owner, while Method Man returns as rapper Drops.

- 'Pool Shark' will also give fans more backstory on Catherine, whose father, like Boozell, was a casino boss. In fact, she inherited the casino from him, and Helgenberger has hinted that the casino could be the reason Catherine leaves her CSI job.





- In that same 'Pool Shark' episode, expect an appearance by Liz Vassey, who was let go from the series after last season. Producers cited the fact that they want to take the show in a direction that won't include Vassey's DNA technician Wendy Simms, so Wendy will presumably bid her co-workers adieu in the Sept. 30 installment.
- The Oct. 7 episode, 'Blood Moon,' finds the CSI-ers investigating a murder at a vampire and werewolf convention. Andy Dick guest stars as an armory dealer, while 'The Young and the Restless' stars Thad Luckinbill and Michael Graziadei play convention goers.

- 'Sqweegel' is the title of the Oct. 14 'CSI,' in which the titular character, Sqweegel, is a serial killer based on a character from 'CSI' creator Anthony Zuiker's thriller novel 'Dark Prophecy.'Ann Margret guest stars as Las Vegas legend Margot Wilton, while Vegas mayor Oscar B. Goodman guests as himself and 'Carnivàle' star Daniel Browing Smith appears as Sqweegel.

- 'CSI' showrunner Carol Mendelsohn says we'll finally meet Mrs. Langston later in the season. Perhaps Fishburne's real-life wife, 'Huge' star Gina Torres, should land the guest gig?

- And we haven't seen the last of nutty Nate Haskell. He'll return later in the season to stand trial for stabbing Langston, and may even defend himself. Selengkapnya...

Michael Stephen "Mike" Portnoy (born April 20, 1967) is an american drummer primarily known as the former drummer and backing vocalist for the progressive metal band Dream Theatre. Known for his drumming prowess and technical skill, Portnoy has won 23 awards from the Modern Drummer magazine. He has co-produced the last six Dream Theater albums with guitarist John Petrucci, starting from Metropolist Pt:2 Scenes from a memory. From A changes of seasons onwards, Portnoy had been writing a substantial amount of Dream Theater's lyrics, filling the void left by Kevin Moore, who left the band after the band's release of Awake. He is the second youngest person (after Neil Part) to be inducted into the Modern Drummer's Hall of Fame(at 37 years of age).

On September 8, 2010, it was announced that Portnoy had left Dream Theater.

Drum kits and percussive equipment

• When Dream and Day Unite/Images & Words Kit - This Tama Imperialstar (the previous model of the Imperialstar, unlike the 2007 Imperialstar, which is an entry level kit) kit and Zildjian cymbals which was bought originally by Portnoy himself through working three jobs. It was used until the end of the Images and Words tour when Portnoy got signed by Sabian and Mapex.

• Awake/A Change Of Seasons kit - This Mapex USA Maple kit was used on the world tour supporting the album Awake. It had two bass drums, one snare, six toms, two small timbales, a section of various percussion instruments, and four Octoban-sized drums in a 2x2 formation. This marked Portnoy's first use of Octobans on a record, which were custom-made by Mapex using maple as opposed to Tama's more traditional arcylic, giving them a slightly different, more "natural" tone.

• The Purple/Green/Red Monsters - These were Tama Starclassic kits which marked Portnoy's signing with Tama in the late '90s after his endorsement deal with Mapex fell through (they took the kit he was using off the market, meaning that he was endorsing a product the public could not buy.) Used for the recording of Falling Into Infinity" and "Scenes from a Memory and the North, South American, and Asian tours for said albums, they are so named because of their striking color/white/color fade finishes. The reason for three identical drum kits were for two copies held in storage in different parts of the world to avoid the shipping costs one extremely large kit around the world; the "Green Monster" in use for European tours and a "Red Monster" for Asian-market touring. It is similar to the "Awake" kit but features many more cymbals, the left-side octobans in a four-inline configuration (as opposed to his last kit which held them in a 2x2 pattern) and two more "low"-tuned octobans on the right side of the kit held overhead of the floor toms. This kit featured a snare drum with a foot-operated snare strainer mechanism which allowed for different snare drum sounds without having to use his hands to adjust it. On the Purple Monster Portnoy used DW 5000 Pedals, instead of the Iron Cobra Pedals. He uses this kit in his 1999 Instructional DVD "Liquid Drum Theater".

• Liquid Tension Experiment kit - A comparatively modest kit used in his supergroup project Liquid Tension Experiment. The bass drum and toms of this kit (not the snare, timbales, and cymbals) were the first Portnoy ever purchased used according to an interview where he gave a tour of his basement and this kit showed up. This kit was unique in that it used a pair of small timbales where the two smallest toms would normally be. It was otherwise a normal "seven piece" rock kit with three toms (five if you count the timbales), and a single bass drum with a double kick pedal. It marks the first time Portnoy uses a floor tom on either side of the kit for a recording (during footage from their Fan Club Show in 1998 featured on 5 years in a lifetime, Portnoy's "Unplugged" kit contained a left-hand floor tom used heavily during that performance) with a 14" floor tom on the left and an 18" floor tom on the right. It is the first time Portnoy used his MaxStax cymbal line in the studio. Portnoy notes in his Liquid Drum Theater instructional video that the reason behind the smaller kit is that when Liquid Tension Experiment went into the studio to record the first album, The Purple Monster kit was still being shipped back from some shows they had played immediately prior in Brazil.

• Transatlantic kit - The kit used to record and tour behind the first album was the same as the Liquid Tension Experiment kit, but with five regular toms. When recording and touring behind the second Transatlantic album, Portnoy added his new Melody Master snare drums for the first time and some different cymbals including a set of custom made 15" hi-hats. The smaller Melody Master displaced the 14" floor tom, which was moved back to the right of the kit for the Transatlantic recordings. For the filming of Portnoy's 2007 "In Constant Motion" instructional DVD set, the Transatlantic kit was reproduced in Tama drums' new line of acrylic shells named Starclassic Mirage in the "Black Ice" finish. The original recording was done with more traditional Starclassic wood drums.

• The OSI kit - Portnoy used the small (right) side of his Red Siamese Monster kit for the recording of the first office of strategic influence album. For the second he downsized even more to a four-piece consisting of his signature snare, one timbale as a tom as previously used on his Liquid Tension Experiment kit, one floor tom, and a single 18" kick drum with a double pedal.

• Yellow Matter Custard kit - A specially designed set for use in Portnoy's Beatles tribute band, Yellow Matter Custard. It is modelled on Ringgo star's kit, and is quite simple compared with his Dream Theater kits. Its in the sizes: 12"x8", 14"x14" & 20"x14". The cymbals are an 14" AA HiHat, an AA Crash on the left and a HH Crash/Ride on the right.

• Hammer Of The Gods kit - A John Bonham-replica kit that was used in Portnoy's Led Zappelin tribute band. Custom-made acrylic shells were used (transparent amber), and the kit is always played while wearing the obligatory bowler hat.

• The Albino Monster - The previous kit used by Portnoy is similar to the Siamese Monster. Aesthetically, it is white with silver sparkle Majesty logos instead of the black/colored logos of the Siamese Monster. In layout it is almost exactly the same, the only differences being the right side of the kit mimics his earlier Hammer of the Gods kit; two of the timbales were removed, the 10" tymp-tom was changed to a 14", and the gong bass drum was replaced with a floor tom. He kept some of the cymbals from the right side of the Siamese Monster, including the 13" HHX Groove Hats, and the 19" Hand Hammered Fierce Crash, so there's more distance between the two sides in the Albino Monster, than there were in the Siamese Monster. So far it has been used for the Gigantour (a tour that Dream Theater participated in alongside Megadeth, Symphony X and several other bands) and throughout the Octavarium 2005-06 World Tour. The modification to the right side stemmed from sessions for Dream Theater's Octavarium album, where what began as an experiment became the inspiration behind most of Octavarium. When recording of Octavarium began, Portnoy brought along the Hammer of the Gods kit, resulting in the kit being used for part of the album: he ended up using it on five of the album's eight tracks. The kit utilizes larger "Rock" sizes, with a 14" rack tom, a 16" floor tom, an 18" floor tom, and a meaty 6.5" x 14" snare drum, much reminding of the drum sizes used by John Bonham of Led Zeppelin. Additionally, Portnoy only used a few crash cymbals, and used a splash and china sparingly. When touring began, Tama had the shells changed to traditional Starclassic Maple shells, because they didn't want Portnoy touring with a kit featuring shells that Tama didn't mass-produce for public acquisition. The touring kit includes two new limited-edition Mike Portnoy signature snare drums with the same matching finish used on the rest of the kit. On Tama's official website, Portnoy released details about changes to the kit for his upcoming tours, beginning with G3 in March. He says the left side will stay the same, but the right side will change. The sizes will change to more conventional sizes-22" kick etc. and will have three rack toms as opposed to the 'Bonham'-size, one rack tom kit of before. The shells would be Starclassic Mirage acrylic shells instead of the Starclassic Maple he has always used. He used this kit in his DVD In Constant Motion.

• The Mirage Monster- Revealed at Gods Of Metal 2007, this kit is made up of two kits once again, except built out of Tama's new Tama starclassic mirage acrylic drums in clear "Crystal Ice" finish. The left side is virtually identical to his previous kit, except made with clear acrylic shells. The new configuration of the right side of his kit has replaced the "Bonzo Kit" of "The Albino Monster." His new right side of the kit includes: a 22" kick and 3 rack toms (8", 10", and 12") "so it's going to be a little more of a conventional, small kit." The snares used are his Signature Melody Master snares. He uses 2 12x5" steel snares (one on the right side of the kit as a main snare and one on the left as a side snare) and uses one 14x5.5" maple shell snare. These snares are the same snares used in the last 2 kits (Albino Monster and Siamese Monster) and they are in the original black color. This kit has been scaled down to a relatively small double-bass kit for several shows taking place in smaller venues.

• Black & Silver Monster Similar to the Mirage Monster, this kit is made up of two different kits, this time with the new Bubinga wood drums with a black and silver finish.

Several of Portnoy's drum kits make use of Roland electronic drum pads. Portnoy uses these as what he calls the "secret cowbell", to count off the songs in a way that only his fellow band members and the technicians can hear it. An example of this can be seen on the DVD, where it can be seen in the background that Portnoy counts off the song "Under A Glass Moon" on the pad. Portnoy explains the use of these pads in the commentary track of the "Drum Cam Only" version of the score Live at BudokanDVD, as well as the "Mike's Stage Tour" featurette on the Chaos in Motion 2007 - 2008 DVD.

Tama has marketed two different sized Mike Portnoy signature snare drums, known as "Melody Masters" (named after Melody, his daughter), since the late 1990s. The smaller of the two has a 12x5" steel shell and the larger has a 14x5.5" maple shell. Both snare models have a unique three way snare strainer mechanism. Portnoy and Tama have custom-made versions in various colors to match the color schemes of the kit he was using at the time (i.e. The "Purple/Red/Green Monsters", "Siamese Monster" "Albino Monster", etc.). For 2006, in recognition of his 'Albino Monster' kit, he released only 250 of these snares worldwide in a white, gloss finish. The older colour (black) is not limited edition.

Sabian has marketed three different sized signature cymbal stacks, known as "Max Stax" (named after his son, Max). They consist of a hand hammered china kang-style cymbal on top of a splash (or crash) cymbal that can be played much more like a drum than a cymbal, used much more in traditional drum fills than most quickly decaying cymbal tones. Their sizes are 8/8", 10/10" and 12/14". Sabian has marketed odd-sized 7, 9, and 11" "Max Splash" cymbals which have a fast decay and can be used in fills and drum patterns that have the same namesake.

Portnoy has endorsed Promark sticks since the early 1990s. His signature stick is the TX420N . It is made of hickory 5A sized stick, with a white nylon 747 sized taper and has purple print to match the Purple Monster's motif. The "420" in the model number, which is printed on the sticks, is a reference to his birthday (and not a marijuana reference, as has been suggested). He is known for gripping his left stick on the reverse side to attain a different sound on the snare drum.

sekian dulu ya, tunggu kelanjutanya lagi jangan lupa kasih reaksi

Ketika sedang merenovasi sebuah rumah ,seseorang mencoba merontokkan tembok
.
Rumah di Jepang biasanya memiliki ruang kosong diantara tembok yang terbuat dari kayu. Ketika tembok mulai rontok, dia menemukan seekor kadal terperangkap diantara ruang kosong itu karena kakinya melekat pada sebuah paku.
Dia merasa kasihan sekaligus penasaran. Lalu ketika dia mengecek paku itu, ternyata paku tersebut telah ada di situ 10 tahun lalu ketika rumah itu pertama kali dibangun.
Apa yang terjadi? Bagaim anak kadal itu dapat bertahan dengan kondisi terperangkap selama 10 tahun??? ,dalam keadaan gelap selama 10 tahun, tanpa bergerak sedikitpun, itu adalah sesuatu yang mustahil dan tidak masuk akal.
Orang itu lalu berpikir, bagaimana kadal itu dapat bertahan hidup selama 10 tahun tanpa berpindah dari tempatnya sejak kakinya melekat pada paku itu!

Orang itu lalu menghentikan pekerjaannya dan memperhatikan kadal itu, apa yang dilakukan dan apa yang dimakannya hingga dapat bertahan.
Kemudian, tidak tahu darimana datangnya, seeko kadal lain muncul dengan makanan di mulutnya........
Orang itu merasa terharu melihat hal itu. Ternyata ada seekor kadal lain yang selalu mem perhatikan kadal yang terperangkap itu selama 10 tahun. Sungguh ini sebuah cinta...cinta yang indah . Cinta dapat terjadi bahkan pada hewan yang kecil seperti dua
ekor kadal itu. Apa yang dapat dilakukan oleh cinta? Tentu saja sebuah keajaiban.
Bayangkan, kadal itu tidak pernah menyerah dan tidak pernah berhenti memperhatikan pasangannya selama 10 tahun. Bayangkan bagaimana hewan yang kecil itu dapat memiliki karunia yang begitu mengagum kan.


Saya tersentuh ketika membaca cerita ini. Lalu saya mulai berpikir tentang hubungan yang terjalin antara keluarga, teman, saudara lelaki, saudara perempuan.....Masih sejauh mana rasa cinta itu ada untuk mereka

JANGAN PERNAH MENGABAIKAN ORANG YANG ANDA KASIHI

Lirik Lagu Boys Like Girls – Love Drunk

The top down in the summer sun
The day we met was like a hit an run
An I still taste it on my tongue
The sky was burning up like fireworks
You made me want you oh so bad it hurt
But girl, in case you haven’t heard

I used to be love drunk
But now I’m hungover
I’ll love you forever
Forever is over
We used to kiss all night
Now it’s just a bar fight
So don’t call me crying
Say hello to goodbye

Cause Just one thing would make me say
I used to be love drunk
But now I’m hungover
Ill love you forever
But now it’s over

Hot sweat and blurry eyes
We’re spinning on a roller coaster ride
The world stuck in black and white
You drove me crazy every time we touched
But now I’m so broken that I can’t get up
Oh girl, you make me such a lush

I used to be love drunk
But now I’m hungover
I’ll love you forever
Forever is over
We used to kiss all night
Now its just a bar fight
So don’t call me crying
Say hello to goodbye

Cause Just one thing would make me say
I used to be love drunk
But now I’m hungover
Ill love you forever
But now it’s over

All the time I wasted on you
All the bullshit you put me through
Checking into rehab is everything that we had
Didn’t mean a thing to you

I used to be love drunk
But now I’m hungover
Ill love you forever
But now it’s over

I used to be love drunk
But now I’m hungover
I’ll love you forever
Forever is over
We used to kiss all night
Now it’s just a bar fight
So don’t call me crying
Say hello to goodbye

Cause Just one thing would make me say
I used to be love drunk
But now I’m hungover
Ill love you forever
But now it’s over

Now it’s over

Green day - basket case

Do you have the time to listen to me whine

About NOTHING and everything all at once

I am one of those

Melodramatic fools

Neurotic to the bone

No doubt about it

Sometimes I give myself the CREEPS

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

It all keeps adding up

I think I'm CRACKING UP

Am I just PARANOID?

Am I just STONED

I went to a shrink

To analyze my dreams

SHE says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down

I went to a whore

HE said my life's a bore

So quit my whining cause it's bringing HER down

Sometimes I give myself the CREEPS

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

It all keeps adding up

I think I'm CRACKING UP

Am I just PARANOID?

Grasping to CONTROL

So I BETTER hold on

Sometimes I give myself the CREEPS

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

It all keeps adding up

I think I'm CRACKING UP

Am I just PARANOID?

Am I just STONED Selengkapnya...
