El sábado 29 de agosto, cuando Michael Jackson hubiera cumplido 51 años, cerca 13.000 seguidores, de todas las edades, se reunieron en México para bailar "Thriller", en tributo al fallecido Rey del Pop. Lo mismo hicieron sus pares españoles en Barcelona, en donde unos 700 fans bailaron al ritmo del emblemático tema.

En México, un total de 12.937 mexicanos, de distintas edades, lograron hoy un récord mundial de baile con la coreografía, marca que deberá ser validada por el World Record Guinnes.

El tributo en México convocó casi 13.000 seguidores del Rey del Pop.

Los miles de bailarines se reunieron en la explanada del Monumento a la Revolución, en la zona centro de la capital mexicana. La coreografía fue seguida además por unos 50.000 espectadores que soportaron una intermitente lluvia.

La iniciativa mexicana, denominada "Yo sí bailo Thriller" fue orquestada por la red social de Facebook, que en seis semanas organizó este evento.

En Barcelona, en tanto, un total de 697 fans de Michael Jackson, caracterizados como zombis bailaron simultáneamente en Barcelona (Cataluña) la coreografía del video "Thriller".

En Barcelona se reunieron unos 700 fans.

Convocados por el grupo de baile aficionado Pocket's y la página web "byebyemichael.com", los zombis se reunieron en un centro comercial de Barcelona ataviados y maquillados como exigía la ocasión, para recrear la coreografía del video con el que Michael Jackson sorprendió al mundo en 1982.

"Thriller" fue uno de los temas emblemáticos del Rey del Pop, que también daba nombre al álbum más vendido de la historia.

Michael Jackson's Dying Wish to Live Forever

Improbable research: Going to great lengths for swear words | Education | The Guardian

Going to great lengths for swear words


What is the lengthiest spoken oath commonly required of witnesses in a formal legal trial? The answer seems to be 374 words, in the judicial courts of Burma, until at least the middle of the 19th century.

An English translation appears in Kenneth RH Mackenzie's 1853 book Burmah and the Burmese, published in London. Mackenzie writes: "The oath is written in a small book of palm leaves, and is held over the head of the witness."

Called The Book of Imprecations or The Book of the Oath, the slim volume also expresses the court's sentiments about any witnesses who would fudge facts. The court is fairly thorough in its wishes, touching on the most likely eventualities.

"May false witnesses die of bad diseases, be bitten by crocodiles, be drowned. May they become poor, hated of the king. May they have calumniating enemies, may they be driven away, may they become utterly wretched, may every one ill-treat them, and raise lawsuits against them. May they be killed with swords, lances, and every sort of weapon. May they be precipitated into the eight great hells and the 120 smaller ones. May they be tormented. May they be changed into dogs. And, if finally they become men, may they be slaves a thousand and ten thousand times. May all their undertakings, thoughts and desires ever remain as worthless as a heap of cotton burnt by the fire."

And so on.

The oath itself is all business. The deponent must say: "If I speak not the truth ... when I and my relations are on land, land animals, as tigers, elephants, buffaloes, poisonous serpents, scorpions, &c, shall seize, crush, and bite us, so that we shall certainly die. Let the calamities occasioned by fire, water, rulers, thieves, and enemies oppress and destroy us, till we perish and come to utter destruction. Let us be subject to all the calamities that are within the body, and all that axe without the body. May we be seized with madness, dumbness, blindness, deafness, leprosy and hydrophobia. May we be struck with thunderbolts and lightning, and come to sudden death. In the midst of not speaking truth, may I be taken with vomiting clotted black blood, and suddenly die before the assembled people.

"When I am going by water, may the water nats [spirits] assault me, the boat be upset, and the property lost; and may alligators, porpoises, sharks, or other sea monsters, seize and crush me to death; and when I change worlds, may I not arrive among men or nats, but suffer unmixed punishment and regret, in the utmost wretchedness, among the four states of punishment, Hell, Prita, Beasts and Athurakai."

After that and a lot more, the oath concludes with a few thoughts of hope and cheer. Then the witness, if he is still alive and not seized with madness, dumbness, blindness, deafness, leprosy or hydrophobia, testifies.

Making the Mickey

Marc Abrahams on the long-jawed white Belgian youth who looks just like Michael Jackson

In 1997, a 24-year-old Belgian male requested that his head be reconstructed to make him resemble the singer Michael Jackson. Three plastic surgeons granted his wish. Their report about it, published in the journal Annales de Chirurgie Plastique et Esthetique, is a lovely read. The loveliness is partly in the detailed technical description, monochromatically in the set of before-and-after X-rays of the facial bones, and memorably in the medically stylish photographs that show the young man before and after his course of treatment.

The doctors are Maurice Mommaerts, Johan Abeloos, and H Gropp. Mommaerts and Abeloos are based at Hôpital Général Saint-Jean, in Bruges, Belgium. Gropp is at Diakoniehospital, in Bremen, Germany. This is how they describe the patient's challenge to them: "His quest was to obtain the facial features of Michael Jackson, his idol that he imitated professionally."

This was an unusual demand. The doctors explain that "normally, patients strive for an ideal, beautiful, normal contour [of the facial bones]. We were confronted with a patient who requested a three-dimensional overcorrection."

This was no ordinary young man. He impressed the doctors with the firmness of his desire, yes, but also with his detailed knowledge of his own craniofacial anatomy (especially his gonial angles and malar prominence).

This task, the doctors decided, was something they could do. "After thorough discussion and psychiatric analysis, we agreed to morph him in a way that all changes could be undone and that the tissues were not at risk for considerable permanent damage."

The case was both easy and hard. The surgeons immediately saw simple ways to rearrange the young man's chin and also his cheekbone arches. But how to achieve the desired posterior-mandibular augmentation? That was the puzzler; solving it would be a medical first.

The doctors rose to the posterior-mandibular augmentation challenge. They conquered it and, in so doing, made medical history. Two rounds of surgery did the trick. Full details are in their report.

But for non-specialists, the important thing may be a simple and comforting piece of knowledge. Yes, we now know, it is possible to surgically morph a long-jawed white Belgian youth so that he looks just like Michael Jackson.

And yet, a prominent institution that houses that particular type of individual suddenly has, at least potentially, a big problem. Hordes of people want to see him, touch him, admire him, maybe even serve legal papers on him. I found no reports of that happening with this Belgian doppelganger.

I suspect that is because the surgeons kept up with the medical literature, and had learned from a 1996 report in the journal Hospital Security and Safety Management. That instructional article, written in the wake of Jackson's dramatic collapse on a stage in New York City, is called: "Michael Jackson at Beth Israel: handling press, fans, gawking employees."

IF ANYBODY'S TRYIN' TO HELP, HERE'S MY DESCRIPTION FROM THE REMOVED VIDEO THAT I'M LOOKING FOR: ALVINO REY: ST. LOUIS BLUES (TALKING STEEL GUITAR PUPPET!) auf Netlog

Entdecken / Videos / ALVINO REY: ST. LOUIS BLUES (TALKING STEEL GUITAR PUPPET!)



http://visualguidanceltd.blogspot.co...

Alvino Rey's 'Talking Steel Guitar' could actually talk, giving Rey's orchestra its distinctive sound (some of Rey's critics called it a 'gimmick'). Rey played with virtuosic skill, demonstrating his guitar's 'singing' quality by manipulating the tone and volume controls. 'Stringy' (the guitar's nickname) was able to sound as if 'HE' were saying words. Of course 'Stringy' wasn't, but Luise King, Rey's wife was. In something that describes like a sexual fetish, Luise stood backstage with a small plastic tube connected between her mouth and Rey's amplifier, forming words with her lips and throat muscles. Rey would make her make 'IT' say his name as he glided the steel bar along the strings of his steel guitar, all while playing, perfectly dressed in a perfect tuxedo.

With the device, Rey and Luise were able to create eerie vocal sounds in four- or five-part harmony, which seemed to mysteriously emanate from the steel guitar.

**INVENTION**

Alvin McBurney (ALVINO REY) was born in 1908, and grew up in Cleveland. His first instrument was a banjo, which he tinkered with, attaching electrical wiring to amplify its twang through a radio loudspeaker. In the Spring of 1935 Rey was hired by the Gibson Guitar Corporation to produce a prototype pickup with engineers at the Lyon & Healy company in Chicago, based on the one he had developed for his own banjo. The result was incorporated into Gibson's first electric guitar.

*SKEETS HERFURT*

Arthur 'Skeets' Herfurt, (clarinetist) moved to California to work with Alvino Rey in the early 1940s. Following his stint with Rey, he worked as a studio musician in Hollywood, in addition to work with Benny Goodman in 1946-47. His studio credits into the '60s, include: Louis Armstrong, Jack Teagarden, and Stan Kenton. He worked with Goodman again in 1961 and 1964. Herfurt appeared in two of Rey's films, 'JAVA JIVE' and 'CIELITO LINDO,'he also appeared as a saxophonist in the 1958 film 'The Nightmare,'playing clarinet on the soundtrack. He was a member of Lawrence Welk's orchestra and weekly television show from 1979 to 1982.

THE PETE DRAKE /ALVINO REY CONNECTION

*Pete Drake's two most famous talking steel songs were 'Forever' and 'Lock, Stock and Teardrops'.

INTERVIEWER: How did your "Talking Guitar" come about?

PETE DRAKE: Well, everybody wanted this style of mine, but I sort of got tired of it. I'd say, "Hey, let me try and come up with something new," and they'd say, "I want you to do what you did on So-and-so's record." Now, I'd been trying to make something for people who couldn't talk, who'd lost their voice. I had some neighbors who were deaf and dumb, and I thought it would be nice if they could talk. So I saw this old Kay Kayser movie, and Alvino Rey was playing the 'talking guitar'--I thought, "Man, if he can make a guitar talk, surely I can make people talk." So I worked on it for about five years, and it was so simple that I went all around it, you know, like we usually do.

Alvino Rey died in Salt Lake City.
He was 95.

**ALVINO REY TRIVIA**

*He changed his name to Alvino Rey in 1929 to help fit in with a Latin music craze* The first electric guitar(Gibson Guitar's ES-150) prototype is kept in the Experience Music Project museum in Seattle* Alvino Rey claims to have been playing electric guitar before jazz guitar pioneer, Charlie Christian* One of the King girls married Rick Nelson* Rey became a Mormon on his marriage to Luise King in 1937* Rey recorded with crazed exotica bandleader Esquivel on RCA Victor* Rey was one of two ukulele players on the March, 1961 recording sessions for the Paramount movie "Blue Hawaii," backing Elvis Presley* Walt Disney eventually bought the rights to Sonovox and used in it cartoons for five years* Alvino used the unit for his band's opening theme, voicing the mantra, "Listen, Listen, Listen"* Sonovox dynamic throat units pre-dated plastic-tube, 'talking instrument' devices, still in use today* In the 1970's, Peter Frampton popularized the talkbox (Heil) on 'Frampton Comes Alive,' voicing a decidedly different sentiment*

Jaycee Lee Dugard Abductor - Phillip Garrido "You'll see, this is a heartwarming story..."

First we learned that Jaycee Lee Dugard had been found, 18 years after she was abducted from South Lake Tahoe. Then we learned that her abductors Phillip and Nancy Garrido had her imprisoned in Antioch and made her bear children for them. See Video: Jaycee Dugard bore children of sex offender abductor. Last we learned that Jaycee had given birth to two girls, now 11 and 14-years-old, that they had all been kept in sheds and tents in a secret yard within a backyard, and that Jaycee and her daughters were reunited with her mother Terry Probyn and sister Shana.

How Garrido Was Caught:
Phillip Garrido wanted to hold an event at UC Berkeley. He wanted to preach about God. When Lisa Campbell, manager of the University of California Police Department Special Events saw Garrido with his daughters Monday she felt something was wrong. They were pasty white, dressed in drab clothes and didn't make eye contact. She told Garrido to return the next day, and asked UC Berkeley police officer Ally Jacobs to sit in on the meeting. When Jacobs found out Garrido was on parole for rape she agreed to be there. Jacobs told ABC News that the older girl was "staring at [Garrido] like he was a god." Both girls, she said, "had this weird look in their eyes like brainwashed zombies." She said whenever the younger girl spoke, her sister would "shoot her a glance" of warning. When she asked the girls what they were doing there, Garrido intervened, not allowing them to answer.

With no legal reason to hold them, she had to let them go on their way. She then called Garrido's parole officer and learned that he didn't have any daughters. The parole officer called Garrido and told him to report to his office the next day. He did, with his wife Nancy, Jaycee Lee who went by the name Alissa, and the two girls. During questioning Garrido admitted abducting Jaycee Lee.

Normal sex, becoming father caused change, says Garrido

During his jail interview with KCRA this week Phillip Garrido said it was the birth of his daughters that caused him to change. He says he never touched them (in a sexual way.) In the paperwork he gave the FBI Monday he says it was during intercourse with his wife that he had his awakening. Garrido wrote that after months of controlling his thoughts away from sex and limiting his masturbation he experienced normal sex with his wife for the first time. He wrote that until that moment the only sex he enjoyed was forced, as in rape. He had plans to change the world with his revelations about schizophrenia. He saw himself educating prisoners. Maria Christenson, a long time customer of Garrido said he started becoming a religious zealot about a year ago. "He started preaching and doing all this stuff. He was telling me about his voices. And then he said, 'You know I've been to prison, and I don't masturbate anymore.' Out of the blue. Then he started crying, and she was crying. I was looking at them - what is this about? I got freaked out."

Garrido's family talks: Manuel Garrido says his son is "nuts, he's crazy." He told the Contra Costa Times that a motorcycle accident during his teen years, the surgery that followed and excessive LSD, had made Phillip Garrido lose his sanity. Before that, he says, "he was a hell of a good boy."
Ron Garrido told the SF Chronicle that his brother is a "fruitcake." He says the way Phillip controlled his wife reminded him of Charles Manson. He said, "She would do anything he asked her to. She was under his control."
Patrick McQuaid met Jaycee Lee Dugard shortly after her abduction. He told the Contra Costa Times that he thinks it was the summer of 1991 when a pretty blond girl who said her name was Jaycee talked with him through the chicken wire fence that separated their Antioch backyards. He remembers an adult male coming out and ushering her inside. Shortly after that a tall solid fence appeared, halting any communication. McQuaid says he didn't see children at the house again until recently, when he saw two girls who looked to be eight and ten riding in Garrido's car. He took note of it, he says, because "Creepy Phil" as the neighbors called him, was a registered sex offender.

Why didn't Dugard escape?

Terry Probyn says daughter Jaycee Lee feels guilt over bonding with her abductor and not trying to escape. She describes what her daughter felt she had was "almost like a marriage." Experts say she may be suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, which happens when a victim bonds with their kidnapper to survive.

Maria Christenson, a long time customer of Garrido told the Contra Costa Times that he started becoming a religious zealot about a year ago.  She says one day he and his wife asked for a $2000 advance. "He started preaching and doing all this stuff. He was telling me about his voices. And then he said, 'You know I've been to prison, and I don't masturbate anymore.' Out of the blue. Then he started crying, and she was crying. I was looking at them - what is this about? I got freaked out."

Dugard had contact with others

 Dugard's daughters had contact with outside

An aunt, Ron Garrido said, told him in 2007 about a time that Phillip Garrido came by to visit.  He was accompanied by two blond girls.  He told her they were neighbors' children and that he was babysitting.   Ron said, "My aunt told me, 'I swear that oldest girl is his daughter. She's got his eyes.'"

Wilma Probyn, Dugard's step-grandmother told People magazine that Terry Probyn, Dugard's mother said the two girls Garrido fathered with Dugard had been allowed to have some normal activities.  They were taken to Hometown Buffet and the aquarium in San Francisco.  One of Garrido's customers said his wife had run into Nancy Garrido and the girls at an Antioch grocery store.

Deepal Karunaratne, also a printing customer of Garrido told the Contra Costa Times, "I met all of them, even the girl Jaycee. He introduced her to me as his daughter. She's the one who handled my printing. She's the graphic designer. She did all the layout, designing and everything. Sometimes when I go there, she comes out with the work, wearing gloves, with ink all over her clothes."

Why didn't Dugard escape?

Terry Probyn says daughter Jaycee Lee feels guilt over bonding with her abductor and not trying to escape.  She decribes what her daughter felt she had was "almost like a marriage."  Experts say she may be suffering from Stockhom Syndrome, which happens when a victim bonds with their kidnapper to survive.

What the girls know now

Wilma Probyn explained that Jaycee Lee didn't tell her daughters about her abduction until now.  Probyn said, "But whether they know what that is, who knows. They have no education."

Garrido's previous victim speaks out

Katherine Callaway, who was kidnapped and raped by Phillip Garrido in 1976 told The Daily News, "I am overwhelmingly relieved. He's a monster." Callaway who was 25 at the time had given Garrido a ride in her car.  Then he attacked her. 

Garrido handcuffed Callaway, tied her up drawing her neck down to her knees, threw a blanket over her, and drove to a storage warehouse in Reno. During the drive he told her it was her fault he had attacked her because she was attractive. 

The storage unit where Garrido raped her had been prepared with rugs on the floor and walls, and was equipped with pornographic magazines, sex toys, wine, a movie projector, spotlight and hot water.  Callaway was rescued by Reno Police Officer Clifford Conrad after he saw her car and a broken lock on the stoarge unit.  When he knocked on the door to investigate Garrido opened the door and Callaway screamed for help.

Phillip meets Nancy, sets up house in Antioch

Garrido was sentenced in 1977 to 50 years in federal prison for kidnapping across state lines, and five years to life on a state charge of sexual assault.  While he was serving time at Leavenworth in Kansas he met his wife, who was visiting another inmate.  They were married behind bars. 

Garrido served less than 20 years and was released in 1988.  It was at this time he moved in with his mother, into her house on Walnut Avenue in Antioch.  She lived there until this week, suffering from dementia for several years.


Current charges

Phillip, 58, and Nancy Garrido, 54,  appeared in El Dorado Superior Court Friday and were charged with 29 counts including kidnapping, rape, lewd acts with a minor, sexual penetration, abduction and molestation.  Phillip Garrido seemed dazed and stoic while Nancy Garrido cried and tried to hide her face throughout most of the hearing.

Garrido possible serial killer?

Garrido's Antioch house was searched again today in connection with the murders of nine local women, some prostitutes, during the 1990's.   Their bodies were dumped in industrial parks in Pittsburg and Bay Point, Contra Costa County, places Garrido frequented.  One victim who was not a prostitute was 15-year-old Lisa Norrell.  She was abducted while walking home from a party, her shoes found on the side of the road she had been walking.  Also murdered were 24-year-old Jessica Frederick, 32-year-old Rachael Cruise, Valerie Dawn "China" Schultz, Sharon Mattos and Andrea Ingersoll.

Statistics

According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children about 258,000 children are abducted in the United States every year.  The vast majority, about 200,000, are parental abductions. Most of the rest are solved within the first 24 hours. 

Cases like Jaycee Lee Dugard's, where the children are taken with the intent to keep them permanently, or with the intent to kill them, or when they're taken for ransom, are rare.  There are only about 115 of those a year.

The investigator never ran a background check or went beyond Garrido's front porch.  Contra Costa County Sheriff Warren E Rupf responds. 


People who tried Garrido's miracle black box said it did not work

In papers Garrido gave to the FBI Monday are affidavits that he says are signed by people who heard his thoughts through his miracle black box.  Some of these people now say the affidavits are bogus.

Normal sex, becoming father changed Garrido, news and video roundup

Video: Jaycee Dugard bore children of sex offender abductor

Phillip and Nancy Garrido kept abducted Jaycee Dugard as a sex slave in their Antioch backyard, possibly in a shed, reports Fox40 news.  They report that Dugard also bore Garrido's children.

They write:

Authorities with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation's Division of Adult Parolee Operations report a parolee agent helped crack the 18-year-old kidnapping case while following up on a tip that Garrido was seen with two small children on the campus of UC Berkeley. The diligent questioning of the parolee officer led Garrido to reveal the kidnapping of Dugard. Further questioning revealed Dugard and Garrido were the parents of the two children.

At this point one can only hope and pray these children receive excellent counseling to deal with this situation.
