Ghost Adventures, Ghost Adventures Live

Latest News Updated, Ghost Adventures, Ghost Adventures Live: Security was tight at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, Friday, where Ghost Adventures kicked off its first seven-hour live event. The excitement was high both inside, where the Ghost Adventures crew looked for paranormal proof, and outside, where the believers could not wait to see what they found.
Curious on-lookers started gathering at the hospital while preparations were still being finalized. The thrill of the Halloween Eve show began Thursday night for the crew, right after rehearsal.

“The guys got on a live chat …and we had record numbers of people show up with minimal promotion for the chat,” said Travel Channel Executive Producer Charlie Parsons, “But we blew away the records on our live chats, and I think that’s a good harbringer for tonight.”

Fans of the show of the hospital were easily as excited for Zak, Nick, and Aaron to search for ghosts.

“Every chance I get I try to come down and help out with anything that’s going on, try to volunteer,” said Dawn Ferrebee, who drove in from Salem. “Plus, I love the Ghost Adventures.”

“Listen, honest to God, we watch these guys every week when they’re on,” said Chuck Rogan from Lumberport. “They’re fantastic.”

A few brought their own proof the hospital is haunted.

“It looks to be like two male doctors in a window a long time ago,” explained Kay Beane, who took the pictures.

Fans got a surprise when the crew came to get advice on where they should look.
“The tunnels,” said Beane. “They have places down there where they used to chain the patients.”

“I found that I’ve heard a lot of stories from the from the 4th floor,” claimed Ferrebee. “I hear it’s pretty active.”

Travel Channel, Ghost Adventures Live

Latest news Updated, Travel Channel, Ghost Adventures Live: Ghost Adventures crew — Zak, Nick and Aaron — will lock themselves into the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, WV, for the most ambitious paranormal investigation ever attempted. During this 7-hour live event, they will examine the reported hauntings and ghostly activity at this legendary landmark.

Built during the Civil War, the asylum is the second-largest hand-cut stone building in the world. For decades its thick walls housed the insane, the neglected and the unwanted. Violence was a common occurrence and inmates were often subjected to brutal treatment. Shut down permanently in 1994, this massive edifice has remained vacant ever since.

Ghost Adventures will have unprecedented access to the entire asylum — from the seclusion cells, where the most violent patients were shackled, to the medical center, where primitive procedures and autopsies were performed.

To aid in their investigation, Ghost Adventures will interview local witnesses, call on paranormal guest experts and utilize the latest in detection technology. Specialized teams will also be available on-site to research and review evidence as it’s collected.

This event will be completely interactive. While watching the drama unfold on TV, viewers will have complete access to the investigation online through the webcams, live video chat and text messaging.

Vito And Nicks Pizza

Vito And Nicks Pizza: As I mentioned in the GNR nomination thread for Vito & Nick’s, references to and reviews of Vito & Nick’s pizza are festooned throughout LTH Forum, but for whatever reason, Vito & Nick’s hasn’t had a thread of its own…until now.

Vito & Nick’s serves the platonic ideal of Chicago thin crust pizza. It’s the pizza by which all other thin crusts are judged. They’ve been serving up the same great pizza since 1949, but in the restaurant & tavern business long before that. They serve a lot of pizzas and have developed quite a process for turning them out in volume, while maintaining the same high quality they have always had.

Vito & Nick’s Pizza Production Line

While the guy on the left rolls out the dough and shapes it, the man in the middle sauces and passes the pizza along to the fellow on the right, who adds the ingredients and cheese. After that, the pizza is thrown (almost literally) in the oven to cook.

Charlyne Yi

Charlyne Yi, Asian American performance artist, musician, writer, painter and actress, Charlyne Yi’s new movie “Paper Heart” will open in theaters on August 7.Charlyne Yi
Moviegoers may remember Yi from her brief but memorable appearance in director Judd Apatow’s hit comedy “Knocked Up.”

In “Paper Heart,” Yi stars along with Michael Cera and Jake Johnson. It was directed by Nick Jasenovec and produced by Sandra Murillo.

Yi executive produced in addition to co-writing the screenplay and stars as a fictionalized version of herself.

The “hybrid-documentary” follows her as she embarks on a quest across America to find “love.”

According to the filmmakers, as Yi and her good friend (and director) Nick search for answers and advice about love, she talks with friends and strangers, scientists, bikers, romance novelists, and children. They each offer diverse views on modern romance, as well as various answers to the age-old question: does true love really exist?

But shortly after filming begins, Yi meets a boy after her own heart: Michael Cera. As their relationship develops on camera, her pursuit to discover the nature of love takes on a fresh new urgency. Yi risks losing the person she finds closest to her heart.

The movie combines elements of documentary and traditional storytelling, reality and fantasy into a whimsical story that won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

Ashford And Simpson

Nickolas Ashford (born May 4, 1942, in Fairfield, South Carolina) and Valerie Simpson (born August 26, 1946 in The Bronx, New York) are a successful husband and wife songwriting/production team and recording artists. They met at Harlem’s White Rock Baptist Church in 1964.

After having recorded unsuccessfully as a duo, they joined aspiring solo artist and former member of the Ikettes, Josie Jo Armstead, at the Scepter/Wand label where their compositions were recorded by Ronnie Milsap (“Never Had It So Good”), Maxine Brown (“One Step At A Time”), as well as the Shirelles and Chuck Jackson. Another of the trio’s songs “Let’s Go Get Stoned” gave Ray Charles a number one U.S. R&B hit in 1966. That same year Ashford & Simpson joined Motown where their best-known songs included “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”, “You’re All I Need To Get By”, “Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing”, and “Reach Out and Touch (Somebody’s Hand)”. As performers, Ashford and Simpson’s best-known song is “Solid” (1984 US and 1985 UK).
The duo essentially had two careers: one as a successful writing and producing team and the other as singers and performers themselves. They started their career in the mid-1960s, writing for artists such as The 5th Dimension (“California Soul”), Aretha Franklin (“Cry Like A Baby”), and Ray Charles (“Let’s Go Get Stoned” and “‘I Don’t Need No Doctor”). Their work with Charles brought them to the attention of Motown chief Berry Gordy.

Joining the Motown staff in 1966, Ashford & Simpson were paired with the vocal duo of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, and they wrote and/or produced all but one of the late-1960s Gaye/Terrell singles, including hits such as the original version of “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”, “Your Precious Love”, “Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing”, and “You’re All I Need to Get By”. According to Gaye in the book “Divided Soul,” Simpson did most of the vocals on the last album he did with Terrell, “Easy,” as a way of Terrell’s family to have additional income as she was battling an ultimately fatal brain tumor. (Simpson is quoted as denying this in a book written by Terrell’s sister Ludie Montgomery.)

Ashford & Simpson wrote and produced almost all the songs on three 1970’s albums for former Supreme Diana Ross including her first solo album Diana Ross (“Reach Out and Touch (Somebody’s Hand)” and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”), Surrender (“Remember Me”), and The Boss.

Other Motown artists that Ashford & Simpson worked with included Gladys Knight & The Pips (Didn’t You Know You’d Have To Cry Sometime”, “The Landlord”, “Bourgie, Bourgie”, and “Taste Of Bitter Love”), Smokey Robinson & The Miracles (“Who’s Gonna Take The Blame”), The Marvelettes (“Destination:Anywhere”), The Supremes (“Some Things You Never Get Used To”), and The Dynamic Superiors (“Shoe, Shoe Shine”).

Other artists with whom Ashford & Simpson had hits were Teddy Pendergrass (“Is It Still Good To You”), The Brothers Johnson (“Ride-O-Rocket”), Chaka Khan, both on her own (“I’m Every Woman” and “Clouds,” ) and with Rufus (“Keep It Comin’” and “Ain’t Nothin’ But a Maybe” )
Ashford & Simpson’s career as recording artists actually began in 1964, when they recorded “I’ll Find You” as “Valerie & Nick.” This was followed by several obscure singles Ashford recorded on the Glover, Verve and ABC labels such as “It Ain’t Like That”, (later recorded by Martha Reeves & The Vandellas), “California Soul” and “Dead End Kids” backed by his own version of “Let’s Go Get Stoned”. After concentrating on working with other artists, Simpson was the featured soloist on the songs “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and “What’s Going On” on the Quincy Jones albums Gula Matari in 1970 and its follow-up, Smackwater Jack. Simpson subsequently recorded two solo LPs for Motown: Valerie Simpson Exposed in 1971, and, the following year, the album Valerie Simpson, which included the single “Silly Wasn’t I,” which was sampled on 50 Cent’s “Best Friend” from the movie Get Rich or Die Tryin’. The song was also sampled by 9th Wonder on Murs’s “Silly Girl” in the album Murray’s Revenge. Ashford & Simpson were featured singing selections from Simpson’s solo albums on the PBS TV show Soul!, hosted by Ellis Haizlip in 1971. They left Motown in 1973, after the albums Simpson recorded for the label received poor promotion and the company refused to release an album of the two of them recording a collection of their most famous songs for other artists.

In 1974 Ashford & Simpson got married, and they resumed their career as a duo with the Warner Bros. album Gimme Something Real. This was followed by the hit singles, “Don’t Cost You Nothin’,” in 1977, “It Seems To Hang On” in 1978, “Is It Still Good To Ya” in 1978, “Found A Cure” in 1979, “Street Corner” in 1982, and their biggest hit, “Solid”, which they recorded in 1984.

In 1978, they were featured as vocalists, along with Chaka Khan, on the hit single “Stuff Like That” from Quincy Jones’ Sounds…And Stuff Like That album and contributed to the writing of the soundtrack to The Wiz.

Simpson appeared (with Melba Moorman) as part of the “Blood, Sweat & Tears Soul Chorus” on the band’s Al Kooper led debut, Child Is Father to the Man.

On his own, Ashford produced, along with Frank Wilson, the mammoth hit “I’m Gonna Make You Love Me”, which was recorded by Diana Ross & the Supremes in collaboration with the Temptations in 1968. He also appeared in the movie New Jack City (1991), as Reverend Oates, an ordained minister who was part of Nino Brown’s entourage.

Simpson’s brothers were in the record business as well: Ray Simpson replaced Victor Willis in the Village People and their brother Jimmy Simpson, produced the group G.Q., (who had big hits with “Disco Nights” and “I Do Love You”), and was in great demand as a mixing engineer during the disco era.

I am amazed why people are searching for something as wayward as Nick Jonas dead? This is the craziest things that I have witnessed in recent days. Nicholas Jonas is a talented singer, dancer, songwriter, actor, and performer. At the tender age of eleven he has already starred in four Broadway shows, numerous commercials, and a variety of recorded works.
He is a passionate performer. His vocal ability has been compared to a young Stevie Wonder and Donny Osmond. He wrote many of the songs he performs in concert.

His Broadway credits include performing in the role of Gavroche in Les Miserables. He was the last person to play the role of Gavroche in the Tony Award winning production. He also starred as Chip in Beauty and the Beast, Little Jake in Annie Get Your Gun with Reba McEntire and Crystal Bernard, and Tiny Tim and the Young Scrooge in A Christmas Carol ? the Musical at Madison Square Garden.

His vocal and performing abilities have been highlighted in Broadway showcases, including yearly Easter Bonnets, Gypsy of the Year Events, outdoor performances, and a special Broadway Christmas recording, which included a song he wrote with his father. He is currently starring in the Papermill Playhouse version of The Sound of Music.

Sixteen year old Nicholas Jerry “Nick” Jonas is best known as one of the Jonas Brothers, a pop-rock band he formed with his brothers Joe and Kevin. The Jonas Brothers originally started with a solo singing career for Nick, but when his brothers Kevin and Joe sang backup for him, the record producer liked their sound and signed all three of them. He currently stars in the Disney channel original series JONAS as Nick Lucas, alongside his brothers.
In the meantime the young actor and singer has said that he wants to be the President of United States. “I’ve always had this dream of becoming president one day” he said when asked about his recent trip to white house and went on to add, it was “very cool” and “such an honor” to visit the White House earlier this year.

The three Jonas Brothers had made trip to Washington DC to see daughters of President Obama. Later Nick Jonas met Obama in June as part of his diabetes efforts.
