prince william westminster Abbey, London

Prince William of Wales KG FRS born William Arthur Philip Louis on 21 June 1982 is the elder son of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Diana, Princess of Wales, and third eldest grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. He is second in the line of succession, behind his father, to the thrones of sixteen independent sovereign states known as the Commonwealth realms: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis. Consequently, he is also second in line, again behind his father, to the position of Head of the Commonwealth (figurehead of the 54-member Commonwealth of Nations) and Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
He was educated at four schools in the United Kingdom and obtained a degree from the University of St Andrews. He spent parts of a gap year in Chile, Belize, and countries in Africa. He was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Blues and Royals regiment of the Household Cavalry—serving with his brother Prince Harry and, two years later, earned his wings by completing pilot training at Royal Air Force College Cranwell. In 2009, the Prince transferred to the Royal Air Force, was promoted to flight lieutenant and underwent helicopter flying training in order to become a full time pilot with the Search and Rescue Force. In Autumn 2010, he completed his generic and special-to-type helicopter training and he is now at RAF Valley on No. 22 Squadron performing co-pilot duties on the Sea King search and rescue helicopter. On 16 November 2010 it was announced by Clarence House that Prince William and his long-term girlfriend Kate Middleton were going to marry, and it was subsequently confirmed that the wedding ceremony would take place at 11 am on 29 April 2011 in Westminster Abbey, London.

Surname
Although Royals do not tend to use a last name, in the instance of a marriage, for example, Prince William's last name is Mountbatten-Windsor. This is the surname of all descendents of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II excluding females who marry.
The name Mountbatten-Windsor derives from the Royal surname Windsor, decided in 1917 by George V. Before this, the Royal surname was technically Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, but due to anti-German sentiment after WWI, the decision was made to change the royal surname to Windsor.
In 1960, the Queen and Prince Philip decided to create a surname for their direct descendants, incorporating the surnames 'Windsor' and Prince Philip's previous surname, 'Mountbatten'.
Therefore, Mountbatten-Windsor is the surname of all male, and unmarried female descendants of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II including Charles, William and Harry.

Character Tuesdays! Beetle juice

Beetle juice, an obnoxious, perverted and chaotic "bio-exorcist" who carries a grotesque physical appearance. The character is a mystery; his age and even how he came to die remain unknown, but he refers to having lived through the Black plague and has seen The Exorcist 167 times. He is known for causing mischief and taking a problem and making it worse. Being trapped in the afterlife trying to get out would make anyone go crazy. One day he's looking through the newspaper and comes across the article of Adam and Barbra Maitland's death. Chiming into his mischievous ways he comes up with his idea of trying to get out and into the "real" world. He starts leaving hints to the Maitlands to call him for help but they are warned to stay away from him. They ignore the warnings and decide to have him help get the Dietz out of their house. With him the only way he can be brought back is saying his name three times.



After meeting him in the cemetery they realize that it wasn't the best idea to have him help them. They try staying away from him but the guy just wont take no for a answer. He sneaks himself out and turning into a snake and letting the Dietz know what his motives are. He tells the Maitlands that they made a deal so he's going to get the Dietz out of the house his way. He tricks Lydia into saying his name and bringing him out into the real world since the Maitlands wouldn't use his help anymore. Lydia brings him out and that's when all Hell breaks loose. They try to put him back into the afterlife but that doesn't go as well as they thought. Finally Barbra uses the sand worm from Saturn to bring him back. What I don't get is why don't they just listen to what he has to say? You never know it might actually be useful. I don't know about all of you but if I had the chance to be with Beetle juice I would totally take that chance. He's crazy, unpredictable and dangerous. Hmmmmm... I smell a new boyfriend!!



All he wanted to do is make a new life for himself but no one would let him do that. Yeah he may be a rebel and live on the wild side of life but hey that's what makes life more entertaining. All I'm saying is before you judge someone take the time to see what they have to offer cause you never know they might surprise you. After all he is the ghost with the most. :)

Music Mondays: Marilyn Manson's "Heart Shaped Glasses"

I've always liked Marilyn Manson, his style his music, his way of life. When people hear Marilyn Manson they're instantly turned off thinking he's evil and a devil worshiper. You know people just need to calm down and not be so quick to judge. Just cause he looks a certain way doesn't mean he's bad. I've listened to his songs and they're not bad. Everyone thinks they're going to be so bad cause of the way he looks and acts but they're not. Yes his Cd's do have a parental advisory sticker on them but that's mainly because he says the F word in his songs big whoop! It's not like we don't hear the F word all the time in the real world. Any who now onto the good stuff.

Brian Hugh Warner (born January 5, 1969), better known by his stage name Marilyn Manson, is an American musician and artist known for his controversial stage persona and image as the lead singer of the eponymous band, Marilyn Manson. His stage name was formed from juxtaposing the names of two 1960s American cultural icons, namely, actress Marilyn Monroe and convicted multiple murder mastermind Charles Manson as a critical and, simultaneously, laudatory appraisal of America and its peculiar culture. He has a long legacy of being depicted in the media as a detrimental influence on young people. The seemingly outrageous styles for which he models and the controversy surrounding his lyrics have led to his very pronounced public appeal.

He was born in Canton, Ohio, the only child of Barb (née Wyer) and Hugh Warner. Manson is of German descent on his father's side, and is a fourth cousin twice removed of Conservative commentator Pat Buchanan. In his autobiography The Long Hard Road Out of Hell he detailed his grandfather's sexual fetishes (including bestiality and sadomasochism) influence to the forming of Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids. The environment in his childhood made him vulnerable to further abuse and he was molested several times by a neighbor. The trauma put him on a path of rebellion.

As a child, he attended his mother's Episcopalian church, though his father was Catholic. Warner attended Heritage Christian School from first grade to tenth grade. He later transferred to Cardinal Gibbons High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Manson graduated from high school in 1987, and became a student at Broward Community College in 1990. He was working towards a degree in journalism and gaining experience in the field by writing music articles for a South Florida lifestyle magazine, 25Th Parallel. He would soon meet several of the musicians to whom his own band would later be compared, including My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails.

Manson formed Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids in Florida in 1989 (the name was shortened to Marilyn Manson in 1992). While with The Spooky Kids, he was involved with Jeordie White (also known as Twiggy Ramirez) and Stephen Gregory Bier Jr. (also known as Madonna Wayne Gacy) in two side-projects: Satan on Fire, a faux-Christian metal ensemble where he played bass guitar, and drums in Mrs. Scabtree, a collaborative band formed with White and then girlfriend Jessica (vocalist with the band Jack Off Jill) as a way to combat contractual agreements that prohibited Marilyn Manson from playing in certain clubs. In the summer of 1993, the band drew the attention of Trent Reznor. Reznor produced their 1994 debut album, Portrait of an American Family and released it on his Nothing Records label. The band began to develop a cult following, which grew larger with the release of Smells Like Children in 1995. That EP yielded the band's first big MTV hit with "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)," a cover of the 1983 Eurythmics hit. Antichrist Superstar (co-produced by Trent Reznor) was an even greater success.

He later went on to release his Cd Eat me Drink me with his single "Heart Shaped Glasses" that he wrote for his then girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood. Manson even had Evan be in the music video for the song which made her the highest paid actress in a music video.
