Rained Out Family Day

It's Love Day and also Billie and Marsha's anniversary! A perfect day to take the kids to the beach, and it looks like it's going to be a beautiful day!

Or not...A complete downpour hit about halfway there. With the family picnic a washout I decided to send them home.

Billy??? What in the what???

Well everyone is finally home and unglitched.

Oh no! Clark!!!

Ummm...Dmitri...no!

That is a MASSIVE hairball right next to Forrest! YUCK!!

Billy opted for a quiet home with the boys, but Marsha autonomously ran off to the arcade downtown!

Edith enjoying a bit of cake for two :)

Flowers now! Boy! Everyone is feeling flirtatious today!

This place is hopping! Poor little Tana Jones is just being ignored in the corner there, LOL!

Looks like Ida and Mack are on a date, how adorable!

Back home the boys are getting tucked into bed.

Candice Marks has aged into a toddler!

Aaaand of course, Otis is home and tearing into the new furniture while everyone sleeps...facepalm...

Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I know ('Til the day that I die) I said I'd never think I wasn't better alone('Til the light leaves my eyes) Can't change the weather, might not be forever('Til the day that I die) But if it's forever, it's even better I knew you in another life You had that same look in your eyes I love you, don't act so surprised

Great Guitarists 100 - John Frusciante, Tom Morello, Kurt Cobain, Billie Joe Armstrong, Kevin Shields, and Noel Gallagher [CROSSBEAT (November 2009)]

John Frusciante Rolling Stone magazine has chosen John Mayer, Derek Trucks, and John Frusciante as the three greatest guitarists of our time. The three greatest guitarists of the 1960s, including Eric Clapton, were from the UK, but all three are now American. Mayer and Trucks have a wide circle of friends, including Clapton, but Frusciante is a solitary figure. He has a thriving solo career, but is a martyr to the band. He devotes all his energies to expressing himself within the collective soulmate that is Red Hot Chili Peppers. John's guitar has no clear style. He can create catchy riffs, he can play well-crafted solos, and he's good at backing vocals. He has the versatility to adapt to any situation, but he is at his strongest in the arena of Red Hot Chili Peppers. This is probably due to the inspiration provided by Flea, a bassist with a deep range, and the support of Anthony, a vocalist who can make you listen with sensitivity rather than skill. The band's tone and phrasing are free and uninhibited. This style is supported by his concentration and the technique he has developed since his teenage years. It would be rare to find a boy who woke up listening to Captain Beefheart and practising 15 hours a day to Frank Zappa and Jimi Hendrix records. -Akihiko Yamamoto

Tom Morello Tom Morello's unique guitar playing is like that of a DJ. This is Tom Morello's trademark, but it is not his main focus. His backbone comes from hard rock. Tom was born in 1964. He got into rock with Led Zeppelin and KISS, then experienced punks like The Clash and formed his first band…… This is a typical generation. Tom followed this completely. In fact, in the midst of the heavy metal boom, he even learned to play technical guitar solos. In short, he had a very normal musical background for someone born in the 1960s. However, an encounter with the members of the band that would later form Rage Against the Machine marked a turning point for Tom. He was shocked by the hip-hop-tinged musicality that centred on Zack, and tried and tested it. As a means of countering this, he came up with the idea of replacing Public Enemy and Run DMC's DJ playing with guitars, which led to a series of unique performances. It was a kind of paradigm shift. In other words, instead of being a better guitarist than anyone else, he makes sounds that no one else can make. By changing his way of thinking 180 degrees, Tom Morello made a great leap forward as a guitarist. -Junya Shimofusa

Kurt Cobain Buzz Osborne, Greg Sage and Calvin Johnson. When considering Kurt Cobain's guitar style, the influence of these three cannot be ignored. Buzz, as you know, was a fellow senior member of the band and the man who introduced Kurt to the appeal of a slower, heavier sound. Greg led the Wipers in the late 70s and early 80s. Nirvana covered a couple of songs, but more than that, it's worth noting that Greg's psychedelic guitar sound is remarkably similar to Kurt's. And then there's Calvin. Kurt was strongly devoted to that spirit for a time. Kurt's lo-fi sensibility and artistry were developed while living in Olympia (Calvin's home base). Heavy, psychedelic, and lo-fi. Kurt has cleverly incorporated these three keywords of 80s American indie music to form his own style. -Junya Shimofusa

Billie Joe Armstrong How many kids picked up a guitar at the sight of Billie Joe playing his battered Stratocaster? His guitar playing, with its simple combination of power chord strumming, arguably played the same role in the 90s as Johnny Ramone's. Despite being labelled as mellowcore at the time of their debut, there is not much hardcore influence in Green Day's sound, including their guitar playing. Rather, there is a strong influence from 60s British beat and 70s UK punk. After establishing his own style with 'Dookie', from 'Warning' he began to use acoustic guitars to great effect. It is interesting to note that, despite having listened to hard rock and heavy metal before punk, there is almost no trace of that influence in his music today. -Tomoo Yamaguchi

Kevin Shields After original members Dave and Tina left the band, My Bloody Valentine became a twin-vocal band with Bilinda, who joined the band midway through. On the Rage label they were still playing an anorak-like guitar sound influenced by The Jesus and Mary Chain, but after moving to Creation they quickly evolved. Kevin's noisy and inebriated guitar sound had a huge influence on the so-called 'shoegazers' that followed. While his followers used a lot of delays and reverbs, the original used almost no spatial effectors. They created "fluctuations in space and time" by holding the tremolo arm, strumming chords and applying reverse reverb. The sound, which no one had ever heard at the time, even led to numerous speculations, such as "Could he be controlling the number of tape revolutions?" -Takanori Kuroda

Noel Gallagher Noel Gallagher is a well-known big mouth. His off-the-cuff remarks are often controversial. As the man who runs the biggest band on the UK scene, he probably has to be that bold. However, when it comes to his guitar playing, his personality is anything but bold. A fear of mistuning is evident. The guitar playing on the album, as well as live, is very collective. He never misses a note, as if he were following a musical score. Even the guitar solos, which are a guitarist's greatest showpiece, are almost exactly the same as on the album. In any case, he doesn't take any risks. In other words, you can see through his surprisingly naïve mind. In a rock world still infested with gymnastic machismo, this is a rare individuality. The band's music has the air of a big-boned, but in fact it is very sensitive. This sense of mismatch is Noel's greatest individuality. -Junya Shimofusa

Butternut

Look at that! Alicia is on the Best Seller List!

Otis braved the Bucktooth Butternut gnome to wake Billy and Marsha. Looks like they didn't get up fast enough because he went out to shred their newspaper!

No going back to bed Marsha, those kids are awake now too... and hungry!

Billy is out tending the garden in his underwear...Are you growing vegetables, or magic gnomes!?

Otis has given up shredding his owner's belongings and decided to chase this deer prancing by!

Just some more town gossip...And yet ANOTHER gift for Marsha!? A clam planter??? Really, Terrell?? That reminded you of Marsha!? LOL, Okay, we'll take it!

Hey! That looks pretty good!

Oh no! Maybe it was actually from Terrell's personal belongings! I decorated his house specifically to foster his rock band career. This is it. When I get to Terrell's household I'm going to have to break up the band for good. Terrell has GOT to be bringing in an actual income.

Meanwhile it looks like Otis has made his way to Saucy Jack's to sleep on the tables!

There's no rest for the weary!

Or the starving! Drink that juice Billy!

Good boy Otis! That is where you are supposed to scratch!

The Doctor recognizes her as one of his former companions, but as he's regenerated and is using a fake name, she does not recognize him.

After the school closes the Doctor, Rose, and Mickey investigate inside, running into Sarah Jane and reconnecting with her. They discover that the principal, several teachers, and dinner ladies are members of a shapeshifting alien race called Krilitanes. They use K9, the Doctor's old robot dog that Sarah Jane had taken possession of, to analyze an oil the aliens are using to discover it is making the children at the school smarter.

They find that the Krilitanes are using the children's accelerated intelligence and imagination to crack a code that would allow them to have the powers of gods. They free the children from the Krilitanes control and blow up the school with the Krilitanes inside. The Doctor invites Sarah Jane to travel with him and Rose, but she declines. Mickey asks to come instead and the Doctor agrees. He leaves Sarah Jane with an upgraded K9.

74: Arachnids in the UK - Season 11, Episode 4: After several unsuccessful attempts, the Doctor finally returns Yaz, Graham, and Ryan to Sheffield. Yaz takes Ryan and the Doctor to meet her family. Yaz goes to pick up her mum from work while the Doctor and Ryan go to check on a neighbor of Yaz's that has not been answering her door, along with one of the neighbor's colleagues. They find that the flat is covered in spider webs, and the neighbor is dead. They also find a spider the size of a small dog.

The coworker explains that she is a scientist that has been investigating strange incidents involving spiders all over the city. They find that the spiders are sending a signal leading back to the hotel that Yaz's mum works at. At the hotel Yaz picks up her mum, who says she's been fired by the hotel owner, who is also refusing to listen to one of his subordinates about a problem they've been facing. They also begin to encounter the giant spiders and spider webs around the hotel.

The Doctor, Ryan, Graham, and the scientist head to the hotel. The group all avoid being attacked by giant spiders while the Doctor questions the hotel owner about what might be causing this. He reveals that all of his hotels are built over re-purposed lands to make them cheaper, and this one is built over a huge landfill, including hazardous material that has caused the spiders to mutate. They lure the spiders to the hotel owners panic room, securing them inside and locking the door and leaving the spiders to die.

After they leave the hotel Ryan, Graham, and Yaz go to the TARDIS to say goodbye to the Doctor, but she asks them to travel with her and they agree.
