Horoscope 2011 for all zodiac signs
by Edward Espati, on Thu Oct 28, 2010 5:52am PDT
Horoscopes 2011: compared with 2010 next year promises to be more tolerant and it will bring us less unpleasant surprises. Should say that after the last year it will be also much harder to surprise somebody with ecological disaster or financial crash ;)
Having spent couple of weeks on the wave of philanthropy, already at the end of January we will be totally determined to cope with our lives. Till the beginning of June energetic, courageous action, achievement-oriented spirit will be appreciated. In March for Aries the planet of fortune Jupiter will be joined by Uranus, the patron of progressive and original ideas, sciences and discoveries (last year both were expressing in the same position the hostile aspects with the other planets, but this year „the Good ones“ will have stronger cards and the Bad ones“ will attack one by one, and because of that the horses should be managed to be saddled up on the run, especially in the business area, as we know, only the ones who have managed to get on the merry-go-round, will have a seat there). For a moment also Neptune drops in to the Pisces sign, reminding about the ideals and taking care that there will not be stepping over the corpse in the fight for competition.
Everything that will be planned or started in the spring, claims for proper grounding in reality, and starting from June we will be given such a possibility. The planet of fortune and development Jupiter will stay till the end of the year under the sign of hardworking and in all matters profoundness loving Taurus, by the way to whom also the topics of passion and money are not unknown. Use this energy of the fertile ground in your life and let it be a productive year!

The Most Awesome Music Videos Of 2010
20. David Crowder Band - "SMS (Shine)"
Contemporary Christian rockers the David Crowder Band finally saw the light in 2010. The Lite-Brite, that is. The band's stunning breakthrough video for "SMS (Shine)" did for Hasbro's beloved '70s electrical toy what the White Stripes' "Fell In Love With A Girl" video did for Legos, and it was worth every one of the 2,150 hours it took to painstakingly piece it together .
19. The Like - "He's Not A Boy"
After undergoing a mod makeover courtesy of producer Mark Ronson (known for his retro-soul work with Amy Winehouse and Sharon Jones), these L.A. ladies shot the perfect video to match their new ready/steady/go sound and Mary Quant/Twiggy-ish image. Featuring mini-skirted mobs of mods and rockers frugging, ponying, mashed-potato-ing, and shimmying in earnest to the Like's girl-group beats inside some supercool cavern club, this adorable video made us all want to party like it was 1964

Best Of The Worst: The Least Awesome Videos Of 2010
It's time for the worst. In a weird way, this list is just as entertaining and compulsively watchable, because it's truly fascinating that videos like these ever got made.
\Brace yourself, and happy viewing!.
10. Susan Boyle - "Perfect Day"
Granted, SuBo is no video vixen. No one expected--or wanted--her to get down at some Ke$ha-style warehouse rave or fiery Lady Gaga bathhouse. But no one wanted to see her brave the elements at Scotland's Trussochs National Park, looking like one of the missing members of Celtic Woman, either. And the fact that SuBo received "creative direction" on this gauze-lensed, new-agey snoozer from the song's originator, Lou Reed--supposedly one of the coolest rockers ever--boggled the minds and broke the hearts of NYC hipsters everywhere. Talk about taking a walk on the mild side, Lou! .
9. Kings Of Leon - "Radioactive"
2010 was the year of the Great KOL Backlash, as news of them being targeted by naughty pigeons and shunning "Glee" garnered more attention than their disappointing new album, Come Around Sundown. This head-scratching video, which took place in the old-timey South in some sort of attempt to prove that the Followill brothers hadn't lost touch with their Pentecostal roots, only alienated fans even more. It was just...odd.
8. Michael Jackson - "One More Chance"
The posthumously shot video for the new MJ/Akon single "Hold My Hand" was a nice tribute to the late King Of Pop, but this lost video from 2003 should have never been seen. The clip was shelved long before Michael's death, and now that it's out there, it's easy to see why--it just didn't hold up alongside his many other great video masterpieces. The most disappointing thing about this video was its utter lack of clear shots of Michael's actual face; he kept his back to the camera during most of the shoot, so much so that some viewers even thought he'd used a body double. This indicates he might have been ashamed to let the cameras get too close-up. Sad. This is one chance that Jackson archivists should have passed up.
