Homes for Our Troops, a national non-profit, non-partisan 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2004. We are strongly committed to helping those who have selflessly given to our country and have returned home with serious disabilities and injuries since September 11, 2001. It is our duty and our honor to assist severely injured Servicemen and Servicewomen and their immediate families by raising donations of money, building materials and professional labor and to coordinate the process of building a home that provides maximum freedom of movement and the ability to live more independently.

Veterans Day by Mistress Carrie,posted Oct 25 2011 3:34PM

I'm taking today off,  not because I am a Veteran, but because I am married to one. In this time in our nation's history, it's more important than ever to show our Veteran's that we support them and that we are thankful for their service.
We all know someone from the Vietnam era who was yelled at, spit on and disrespected because they served their country...Â
 'Not on my watch!'Â
Our generation has the chance to do, what our parents generation didn't do... Welcome home those who have volunteered to protect this great country of ours!
Today is a day to thank your family members, friends and total strangers for being brave and selfless. Today is a day to celebrate those who made it home and a day to remember those who didn't!
If you have worn a uniform in service to our country, I can say with my whole heart...
Thank you!

One of the benefits of being the Music Director of WAAF, is hearing new music WAY before anyone else! :) Today I got a chance to hear some of the new Slash album that will be released in March of 2010. We should have the new single (which is going to feature Ozzy on lead vocals) in January!
This song was AWESOME!
And, the lyrics are going to piss off Axl & Black Sabbath!
I heard Chris Cornell, Kid Rock, M. Shadows, and even Fergie lending their voices to Slash. They were all great! Also featured on the lineup... Lemme, Iggy, Alice Cooper, Flea, Duff, Â Myles Kennedy and you guessed Dave Grohl!
According to my 'source', Slash wrote the 'blueprint' for the songs with someone specific in mind. Then, he asked that person to get involved and help write and record the track! Every song has a bit of Slash and the other musicians in it... Very COOL!
This album is going to be HUGE!
There is a song online already, that was released by the Japanese band the B'z as their b-side.
It's Slash with Cypress Hill and Fergie doing Paradise City...
Slipknot's legendary self-titled debut is being re-issued in a limited edition package with the full-length LP and a 10th anniversary T-shirt.
The LP is being pressed on green vinyl for the first time in 10 years specifically for this special piece. Each order will also come with a 10th anniversary Slipknot poster, available exclusively with this offer. GO HEREto make it yours.
Well, I know this is going to stir up some debate...
With Rihanna hitting the interview circuit, talking for the first time about her physical abuse with then boyfriend Chris Brown (just in time to promote her new album)...
Here's the new Marilyn Manson video.
The question?
Does this video promote domestic violence, or is it art imitating life or is it Marilyn Manson just trying to piss people off? Or, is it all 3?
I will tell you that I had a hard time watching it all of the way through, so watch at your own risk.
What do you think?
BTW, is it a coincidence that the girl in the video looks just like his ex, Evan Rachael Wood?
