Former First lady, actress and mother, Nancy Reagan has died today at age of 94 of congestive heart failure at her home in Los Angeles which was confirmed by her spokeswoman, Joanne Drake of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.
Her husband, President Ronald Reagan (1981-1989) was a very popular President and Nancy was always at his side. No matter what your party affiliation was or political views, you had to admire the loyalty she had to her husband to his last days in June 2004 when he died.

“Some people call me Nessy, some people just don’t know. Some people wait for days and days to see if I’m going to show. I’ve been around for ages, much longer than you think. But when I swim across the loch you’ll miss me if you blink.” (A child’s poem)
From the dawn of time there have been stories of monsters and creatures that lurk in the darkness of the forests or depths of the oceans. While the foundations of some of these creatures are built on evidence and hardcore truths, others are based purely on myth and make believe.

May she rest in peace.
Greatest Song of All Time Vol. 2: “Good Vibrations”
March 4th, 2016 CEO By Ian Murphy
After the Beach Boys completely upped the ante (in response to the Beatles’ Rubber Soul) in rock composition with Pet Sounds, lead writers Brian Wilson and Mike Love wanted to push the envelope even further. The result was “Good Vibrations”, a “pocket symphony” (as it was dubbed by publicist Derek Taylor) that was completely uncharted territory. Nothing prior to it’s release was in the same class in regards to a balance between complexity of composition and songcraft. It did not make it onto Pet Sounds, as “Good Vibrations” was not fully finished at the time of the album’s release in early 1966. Instead, it was put out as a single that fall. 1966 was the opening salvo of the true Rock revolution that was to follow in the upcoming years. At the forefront was a Brian Wilson at the peak of his powers. If Paul McCartney and John Lennon consider you an equal and a rival as a songwriter, your must be onto something. It isn’t coincidental that the next Beatle album was Sgt. Pepper and it’s clear that Wilson’s opus “Good Vibrations” provided a significant challenge for the Fab Four to match.

By Kristi O’Toole
Disney Channel announced this afternoon that it’s bringing back the greatest musical film franchise of all time, and immediately, fans minds started racing.
Given that the new movie is designed to introduce us to the “new” Wildcats and their rivalry with the West High Knights, it wouldn’t be reasonable to expect a return of Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, or any of the other bright shiny faces from the original movies. Even so, we’ll never stop dreaming that it’s possible.
Oscar Winning Actor George Kennedy Dead at 91: Cause of Death REVEALED

By “Bad” Brad Berkwitt
Sad news to report today. George Kennedy who won an Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role as Dragline, in the 1967 movie Cool Hand Luke, has died at the age of 91 from a heart related condition. There are so many great roles he played over the years and he was beloved by the movie industry and fans alike.
In 2011, I had the honor of interviewing him over a two day period for NewzBreaker and found him to be a gentleman, with a great sense of humor, and one hell of a story teller.
Inexplicable Disappearances: Foul Play or Paranormal Phenomena III?

By Kristi O’Toole
In this third and final installment of inexplicable disappearances I feel I’ve saved one of the best for last. When one person mysteriously vanishes we’re quick to lay blame on kidnapping or some fashion of foul play or simply walking away to start a new life, but when a group disappear, well that just isn’t so simple. Add an isolated Scottish isle and three lighthouse workers and that just makes one hunky dory mystery.

How Not to Start Your New Job!
February 22nd, 2016 CEO 
By Dave Siderski
I recently started a new job and I think everyone reading this can probably relate to what that experience is like. You feel completely overwhelmed but try not to let it show. My new boss gave me my first assignment on day one, whipping through the instructions with lightning speed. He then looked at me and says: “Got it!” I looked back at him with a smile and said: “Got it!” Of course, I felt completely clueless but I sure as hell wasn’t going to tell him that. For the first hour, the project ran smoothly until………
Now the system I was working with was called “Pro Forma A+Q”. One very clear instruction I received was: “DO NOT……DO NOT PRESS THE ENTER BUTTON WHILE PRO FORMA A+Q IS RUNNING”. The consequences of doing this, I was told, would be catastrophic. Now, I was good about this at first but sure enough my mind wandered after a while. Next thing I knew, I did the unthinkable and unforgivable. I pressed the dreaded “ENTER” button.

February 20th, 2016 CEO By Kristi O’Toole
In this second part of three installments, I’m covering two more very strange and inexplicable diappearances. The first has intrigued UFO and E.T enthusiasts for decades, and rightly so. I’ve researched this story intil I was nearly sick of reading about it. Nearly.
The disappearance of Frederick Valentich:
Australian pilot Frederick Valentich whilst on a training flight in 1978 radioed to report that an unidentified aircraft was following him at around 4500 feet, but was informed that there was no other air traffic flying with him at that location. Valentich then claimed he could see four bright landing lights as the craft flew closer and began to orbit his plane. After claiming to be experiencing engine problems, the pilot, when prompted to identify the other vehicle, simply responded, “It isn’t an aircraft”, before transmission was interrupted by what is described as a “metallic, scraping” noise.
