Summary of Trace Summary of Trace Reviews for Trace An Excerpt from Trace
The heart-stopping new Dr. Kay Scarpetta thriller from America's #1-bestselling crime writer."Dr. Kay Scarpetta is back with a vengeance!"
Dr. Kay Scarpetta, now freelancing from south Florida, returns to the city that turned its back on her five years ago.
In Trace, Scarpetta travels to Richmond, Virginia, at the odd behest of the recently appointed Chief Medical Examiner, who claims that he needs her help to solve a perplexing crime. When she arrives, however, Scarpetta finds that nothing is as she expected: her former lab is in the final stages of demolition; the inept chief isn't the one who requested her after all; her old assistant chief has developed personal problems that he won't reveal; and a glamorous FBI agent, whom Marino dislikes instantly, meddles with the case.
Deprived of assistance from colleagues Benton and Lucy, who are embroiled in what first appears to be an unrelated attempted rape by a stalker, Scarpetta is faced with investigating the death of a fourteen-year-old girl, working with the smallest pieces of evidence-traces that only the most thorough hunters can identify. She must follow the twisting leads and track the strange details in order to make the dead speak-and to reveal the sad truth that may be more than even she can bear.
The New York Times Book Review
"Patricia Cornwell has created a character so real, so compelling, so driven that this reader has to remind herself that Scarpetta is just a product of the author's imagination."

"We are just practicing hard and playing hard," said Simmons. "We are 9-0 and the season has been a great experience – just being able to practice with the seniors – and learn from them."
"The team this year is more of a team and that has been a big reason for our success. The seniors have been a great example. They have showed us how to be unselfish and play as a team."
Simmons feels good about his performance this season, but knows he could not do it alone.
"I think that I've performed pretty well," he said. "But I know I couldn't perform the way I have without the help of my team."
The junior is attracting interest from college programs.
"I have gotten mail from Cincinnati and Temple," said the 5-foot-8, 170-pound Simmons. "I've also talked to the ODU coaches, and Virginia Tech and UVA have asked for my film."
"I would like to hear from Alabama, LSU, Arizona State, Syracuse, and a lot more schools."
The Ocean Lakes' playmaker has taken a few visits.
"I have taken visits to ODU and Virginia Tech so far," Simmons said.
"ODU gave me a tour around the school. They introduced to a few of their players and a few of their coaches. Then we talked about grades, and I got to see the practice facility."
"Virginia Tech – I got to talk with the head coach (Frank Beamer) and some assistant coaches. They told me that they were looking at me and that they were going to keep following me this season."
While Simmons knows the strengths of his game, he is quick to point out there is always room to improve.
"One thing that I think I do well is follow my blocks and read my keys," he said. "I think I run with aggression and run with heart. The way I run – it wouldn't even be possible without my offensive line. I think I run the ball well, but I'm working to improve on everything."
Despite the fact that Ocean Lakes is undefeated, Simmons knows the journey is far from complete.
"Individually, I have two goals," he said. "I want to rush for 200 yards in one game, and I would like to have over 1,000 for the season. My team goals – I just want us to keep being successful and win a state championship."
Simmons has only gotten to play in the first half of most games because his team usually has a big lead. He has still rushed for close to 800 yards and nine touchdowns this season. Ocean Lakes plays its final regular season game against Kellam on Friday.

Zac Efron Breaks His Jaw After Slipping And Falling At Home
Posted on Tue Nov 12, 2013 08:36 PM PDT
This really hasn't been Zac Efron's year!
After going to rehab twice for alleged addictions to alcohol and cocaine, Efron broke his jaw after slipping on a puddle of water at the entrance to his Los Angeles home on Sunday. The 26-year-old star's jaw has been wired shut, and E! Online reports that the actor also suffered a gash that required stitches.
While Efron is expected to make a full recovery, his appearances to promote his upcoming movie That Awkward Moment have been put on hold.
Efron initially sought treatment in March for substance abuse issues, but after having a relapse, he went back to an undisclosed rehab center to get clean yet again. After taking a trip to Peru with his father in September, Zac has been maintaining a low profile, but last month he had a mellow evening out with former Hairspray co-star Brittany Snow, along with Julianne and Derek Hough at the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride. It sounds like he's getting back on track, so hopefully he feels better soon!

Orlando Leads Florida With Four Chefs Named Semifinalists In 2014 James Beard Awards
ORLANDO, FL, Feb. 21, 2014 /CNW/ - As foodie culture becomes increasingly mainstream, more and more Canadians are eager to fulfill their sense of culinary adventure through travel. While overseas destinations have been historically popular for food enthusiasts, Canadians should remember that there are incredible chefs and restaurants much closer to home. For the second consecutive year, Orlando leads all Florida destinations for the number of chefs nominated for The James Beard Foundation's 2014 Restaurant and Chef Award, securing its place as a top culinary destination for travelers. The nominees are:
"Orlando has emerged as a distinct dining destination with a passionate community of chefs leading a flourishing farm-to-table movement, creating a growing independent restaurant scene and sourcing local and organic ingredients that showcase the benefits of Florida's four growing seasons and proximity to Florida's abundant fresh fish and seafood sources," said Visit Orlando President & CEO George Aguel. "Award-winning restaurants and James Beard nominated chefs across our destination are attracting foodies in increasing numbers."
"I'm so impressed with the growth of Orlando's dining scene," said president of the James Beard Foundation Susan Ungaro during a press conference on February 19. "I expect Orlando, which has been a prime tourist destination for so many years, can now add culinary destination to its long list of reasons to visit."
On February 19, Orlando hosted the first-ever live semifinalist announcement. The event took place at East End Market, Orlando's new community marketplace and the first of its kind in the Southeast.
About the Orlando Semifinalists
James and Julie Petrakis - Graduates of the Culinary Institute of America, Julie and James Petrakis opened their American gastropub The Ravenous Pig in 2007 and have been receiving accolades ever since. The Pig has been so successful that the couple opened a sister restaurant, Cask & Larder in September of 2012. The restaurant is a micro pub with Southern artisanal food and hand-crafted beer.
Hari Pulapaka - Chef Hari Pulapaka and wife Jenneffer are modern day Superheroes. By day, Hari is a mathematics professor at Stetson University. By night, he turns out award-winning fare at Cress Restaurant. Hari first came to the U.S. from Mumbai to earn his graduate degree in mathematics and later got his culinary degree. Restaurant co-owner Jenneffer Pulapaka is a podiatric surgeon and restaurant manager.
Henry Salgado - Chef Henry cooks up creative specialties using a blend of regional ingredients strongly influenced by the bustling barrios of Latino neighborhoods and the traditional Spanish countryside. In addition to Spanish River Grill, Chef Salgado's new restaurant Txokos Basque Kitchen will open in March 2014 at East End Market. While Spanish River Grill features Latin-influenced recipes, Txokos will be an entirely different concept focusing on food and wine specific to the Basque region of Spain.
This is the fourth year that James and Julie Petrakis have been named a semifinalist, the third year for Hari Pulapaka and the second year for Henry Salgado.

In the most optimistic scenario, Cristine and Ron Kern will move back into their Marlborough split-level ranch sometime in mid-October, the storm damage repaired.
Curious storm trackers, of course, are already wondering which storm penetrated the Kerns' interior walls and window frames, cracked ceilings throughout the house, buckled cedar-shake siding, left the roof sagged and unsafe, caused structural damage to three sides of the house and required both mold and lead abatement.
Was it early August's freak rain or, more likely, last October's doubly freaky snow-ice combination and subsequent power outage? Or maybe Hurricane Irene in August 2011?
No, the Kerns are still locked in the cleanup from the monster winter of 2010-11, when a monthly-record 54.9 inches dropped in January 2011. A daily-record snowfall, 21.9 inches, set that month lasted only until Feb. 9, when 22.5 inches fell in Windsor Locks and 29 in Meriden. Roofs across the state buckled, even collapsed. More commonly, water from ice dams penetrated to the core of a home's construction.
When Cristine Kern contacted The Bottom Line this January, almost a year after she filed a claim with her insurer, Kemper Preferred, her home wasn't close to being reconstituted.
"We have been unsuccessful in getting the company to come up with an amount that will repair our home properly," she says.
The Kerns even hired a public adjuster, an insurance claims adjuster who represents a policyholder in negotiating a claim. Still no settlement.
The Kerns' first repair estimate from a local contractor, with snow still piled on the roof, was $22,000. Kemper offered $8,600. The amounts, and difference between them, only escalated as two insurance field adjusters, then a structural engineer, evaluated the damage over the next four months. Kemper, the Kerns say, repeatedly challenged damage assessments from local contractors hired by the family, even the local building inspector's written statement that the roof was not within code because of winter-storm damage.
When Kemper sent a structural engineer in late April 2011 to look into the claim, for instance, Cristine Kern says he attributed the damaged foyer flooring to improper mortar installation, a cracked bathroom ceiling to inadequate ventilation and the sagging roof to a pre-existing condition. With internal water damage unrepaired, the family — which includes an 18-year-old daughter and 17-year-old son — finally left their home that May 2011 when Ron Kern experienced mold-related breathing difficulties. They spent two months in Homewood Suites in Glastonbury during the mold remediation.
When The Bottom Line contacted Kemper in January this year, the Kerns were back in their home, still hoping for a settlement and repairs to their house. Kemper promised to resolve the claim, but Kern says an independent adjuster working for the insurance company soon warned in an email there would be no settlement unless she stopped talking to TBL.
"The assertion made in the email to the Kerns was incorrect and was a mistake made on the part of our independent adjuster," says Leslie Kolleda, an assistant vice president of brand management and communication for Kemper Preferred. "Retracting the complaint was never part of any agreement. We will pay what we owe per the insurance policy the Kerns purchased."
Kolleda, in January, told TBL the Kerns would receive a payment the next day. The Kerns, indeed, were paid more than $78,000. Then they received a check for $20,000 for lead remediation, then almost $28,000 for roof repairs and a siding cost adjustment for the cedar shakes.
The claim wasn't officially resolved, however, until April 2012. That's when the Kerns moved into a rental home in Marlborough, their furnishings placed in storage, and repair work began.
The settlement now stands at more than $126,000, with Kemper's total costs including living expenses closer to $155,000. With the home's contents in storage, demolition sheared the interior of almost everything except the bare studs. Walls, ceilings and floors were replaced. The roof was replaced on the front slop, the remainder re-shingled. Kemper paid to re-side the house, which is valued at about $285,000.
The Kerns say if Kemper had accepted the original estimate from their contractor in March 2011, the claim would have been settled for $80,000 and the family could have remained in the home during the repairs. Instead, mold that grew in the untreated walls forced them to the Glastonbury hotel that cost $16,000, including meals, all reimbursed by Kemper.
"For that amount," says Cristine Kern, "if Kemper had not been so stubborn, it would have paid for most of the roof."
When repair work finally began in April, a Kemper relocation service found the Kerns the home-away-from-home in Marlborough, paying for rent and furnishings, with a six-month lease that expires in mid-October.
"The stress of the situation affected the whole family," says Kern. "I stopped taking classes for one semester, putting off a degree by almost six months. Our son began having problems in school and our daughter was unhappy about having most of her belongings packed."
Shortly after the final April settlement, Cristine Kern says, Kemper notified the family's mortgage holder that it would not renew the homeowners policy. The reason: The Kerns filed two other claims in 2011, for minor food spoilage after they moved back into their home following the mold remediation Both, they say, were encouraged by a local Kemper adjuster after Hurricane Irene and the October ice storm.
"We had no clue that our policy covered food spoilage and would not have filed if [the adjuster] had not brought it up," she says. "We were following the advice of the Kemper adjuster. . . . It is clear that the two claims we made for food spoilage put us in the high-risk category."
In Connecticut, an insurance company is allowed to decline a renewal or cancel a homeowner's policy according to its own guidelines.
"However," says Debra Korta, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Insurance, "we do require that all companies indicate what their new business and renewal underwriting requirements are."
Here are Kemper's requirements for "risk re-evaluation" that could result in the insurer canceling, or declining to renew, a homeowners policy: Two or more paid losses within three years.
Kemper, says Kern, told her that, regardless of the advice, it was her choice to file the food-spoilage claims. Kemper's move made the Kerns all but uninsurable because the family did not occupy their home and the repairs were not completed by the time the policy expired Sept. 2, as required by insurers.
"As you know," says Kemper's Kolleda, "homeowners insurance claims can be complicated, but it is always our goal to help get our policyholders' lives back to normal as quickly as we can. This claim was an exception and we've apologized to the Kerns that the time it took to resolve the claim was unsatisfactory to them."
Finally, Kern found a policy with a builder's-risk provision through Connecticut FAIR Plan (www.ctfairplan.com), which offers basic policies to homeowners who can't get coverage from standard insurers. The cost for a one-year policy, $3,788, represented a $2,300 increase over the Kemper policy. And because they were now in a high-risk category because of the claim, the Kerns had to pay the entire amount up front.
"I, unfortunately, had a meltdown and began getting emotional and teary while talking [with a Kemper manager] about the emotional toll this past year has taken on my family and some health issues like increased allergy symptoms and breathing difficulties while living in our home awaiting the claim to be finalized," says Kern. "Or the fact that our house smelled of mold even with the interior gutted."
What started as winter-storm damage in February 2011 turned into an 18-month odyssey for Cristine Kern and her family. Now, finally, a "normal life" could be less than a month away.
"Quite honestly," she says, "I sometimes wish one of the Kemper executives would have to live the nightmare we have lived."

I, however, don't consider the Repiglican Party to be a political organization worthy of such gentlemanly consideration. They are a criminal enterprise, IMO, and deserve to be shut down for good.

We have seen so skewed imposed principles such free market, market liberalization, currency, forced privatize, etc, all ignoring or belittling democratically elected governments and the people, save those poor' under aids influence. I think it is high time that let the people and their governments choose and decide their internal and global affairs themselves and then collectively under UN auspices. Your suggestion may be acceptable as far as it is suggestion not imposition. There is always a problem from colonial background which tries to play a patriarchal role by considering its ideas as a divine where all are required to accept.
A quick detour into evolutionary psychology and behavioral economics might help here too. Humans don't "follow the herd" on the assumption that the herd is better informed than they are as individuals: humans follow the herd because in the circumstances germane to the evolution of our behaviors, going with the herd was usually the only viable course of action. Even if the group's decision was poor, it would almost always be better to stick with the group rather than try to survive as an individual in a very hostile environment. Great con artists and leaders and propagandists have always known this intuitively. Now it's time for economics to recognize the fact and build it in to the relevant models. Thtis is why venture capitalists always over-invest in some sectors (think social media, smartphone apps) while under-investing in others. Although obviously total returns will be very poor as a result of this strategy, any individual VC who bucks the trend will tend to lose the support of their LLPs, while VCs who blindly follow the herd ("look, we've got a social media website too!") will receive approbation from their LLPs - until, of course, the fund's returns are tallied up. But by then it's far too late to change course. And if people who are individually as intelligent as VCs can repeatedly make this simple mistake, what chance for the rest of us in everyday life?
Choosing to 'play the game' is different than 'running a game' on uninformed people. Ergo, even the best and brightest university 'trusts'(not run by stupid people!) were 'duped' by the "shadow CDO's" and other instruments of economic destruction created by the best and brightest con men(Wall St).

Those who have followed his career know that Terrell Owens is seldom at a loss for words, even if he's doing situps in the driveway.
But the former star NFL receiver, best known as T.O., was shut down by three women — all mothers of children he fathered — on Tuesday's "Dr. Phil" show.
Dr. Phil McGraw, who expressed admiration for Owens as a player, also delivered some Brian Dawkins-type hits to the receiver, who certainly didn't enhance his chances of getting back into the NFL — at least with teams who value character.
The show was probably a ratings-getter for Dr. Phil because there may not be a more potent set of elements than the NFL, sex, confrontation and scandal.
Despite making millions in his career, Owens admitted he didn't have enough money for all of the child-support payments, which is presumably why he was on the show in the first place: to get a check.
One of the women said he blew a lot of the dough on lawyers trying to fight the child-support payments.
Dr. Phil suggested he wasted his money on material possessions.
"Anybody who knows me knows I don't live an extravagant life," Owens said.
The show offered a possible explanation — or excuse — for Owens' behavior when he talked about his own absentee father.
"I didn't have a dad for the majority of my life," Owens said. "I didn't know who my dad was until I was 10 or 12, and surprising as it may seem, he lived right across the street from me. Yes, I did [have a void in my life]."
McGraw then lectured Owens, saying that he could be a "powerful role model" for his kids.
"You have an opportunity because it's not too late," McGraw told Owens. "You have an opportunity to not allow your kids not to get caught up in the middle of this. … It's going to change who you are."
The disappointment for those who were watching on CBS3 is that the station jumped right to the start of its 5 o'clock news program without showing the end of the show, which concluded — according to an Internet report — with Owens reuniting with his two daughters, kissing them, and telling them he loved them.
I happened to be there at Blue Ridge Country Club last week for the Bo Tkach Memorial Golf Tournament when ESPN's Matt Millen was informed of Junior Seau's suicide.
Millen doesn't buy into the theory that head trauma triggered the suicidal thoughts of Seau.
He said that some guys simply are unable to make the adjustment to life without football and told of some of his own struggles.
As for Seau, Millen said: "I had heard that Junior was struggling and guys do go through a lot when they're done. You just wonder why he didn't try to get help.

Showing 1 - 20 of 252 resources
Pupils identify the nutritional value of various cereal grains. Without adding sugar, they cook with grains and compare the taste to cereal containing sugar. In addition, students complete worksheets about the different grains, noting their characteristics.
Study the nutrition of elderly people and how it helps them to remain independent and healthy. Learners investigative the nutrition concerns of the elderly. MyPlate, vitamine requirements and sensory changes in the elderly are discussed. Note: The lesson would be great for 12th graders thinking about working as a CNA.
Students investigate the nutrition benefits of whole grain cereals and oatmeal. They decide to choose whole grain cereals and oatmeal. Students list the protective effects of whole grain cereal and oatmeal against heart disease, cancer and type II diabetes. They try to include more whole grain cereals and oatmeal in their diets
Students watch television commercials, then analyze the nutritional value of the cereals. In this health and nutrition lesson, the teacher shows students several cereal commercials, then the students describe the cereals. Students read the nutritional label for each type of cereal, then look at how much sugar and salt is in each type of cereal and determine how healthy each type is.
Students use the internet to gather information on proper nutrition. They examine the food pyramid and categorize food into the groups they belong. They develop their own healthy cereal idea and advertising.
This activity seems pretty advanced for K-2nd graders, but there are some pieces that can be used with young learners. Look through this comprehensive, fact-filled activity and pull out information and activities that you can adapt to fit your grade level needs. Younger children will need help with reading and understanding the nutrition fact labels, but there is a grocery store activity that would be fun for them.
Eating healthy can be a challenge, especially for people with special dietary needs. After learning about standard nutritional needs for adults, learners take on the role of a dietician and work together to create a menu for one of the following unique nutritional needs: High blood pressure Vegetarian Pregnancy Lactose intolerance Type 2 diabetes High performance athletes Astronauts By examining the special dietary restrictions for their assigned person, groups determine how to ensure a balanced menu while taking into account the unique issues facing their assigned nutritional specialty. Additionally, each child keeps a food diary to get in touch with his/her own caloric intake. To see what the lesson might look like, watch the video included in the Additional Materials section.
How can you choose healthier foods by reading the nutritional labels? Your class will discover how companies market food items to make them enticing and how to check the food labels of those items to see if they are healthy. They listen to a lecture and then work in small groups to practice finding nutritional information on the side of a cereal box. This lesson includes a resource link.
Sixth graders investigate the nutritional value of different types of cereal. They take a survey of students that ate breakfast and create a circle graph with the results. Students examine the nutritional information on the sides of the boxes of cereal and discuss the meanings.
January can be a time to delve into a science lesson about nutrition through a discussion of whole grains, like oatmeal.
It takes some work to ensure you have a balanced diet, but once you know the types of foods that are good for you, it becomes second nature. In the sixth of seven lessons about energy and nutrition, learners create a healthy eating plan using resources from the USDA. Note: The lesson plan was created before the USDA switched from MyPyramid to MyPlate, so you will need to update some of the resources in the activity to ensure it is up to date.
Take a look at this nutrition lesson which is specifically geared for high school competitive athletes. This is a comprehensive lesson and is worth perusing if you are serious about having your athletes understand how important food is to their performance levels. It's not just about training the body physically, because if they don't eat properly they are more than likely going to run out of energy before the end of the game. It's important for them to know how the different types of foods affects their ability to have sustained performance in their sports.
Students identify the properties of fiber. For this nutrition lesson, students investigate types of grain and identify the food groups.
Students learn tips for healthy eating. In this nutrition lesson, students learn about the four main food groups, view a food pyramid, and get tips on how to get the most nutrition out of their meals. Students also learning about eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia.

- The United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and its three protocols (against trafficking in persons, smuggling of migrants and trafficking in firearms)
- The United Nations Convention against Corruption
- The international drug control conventions
UNODC was established in 1997 as a result of the merging of the United Nations Centre for International Crime Prevention and the United Nations International Drug Control Programme. It was established by the Secretary-General of the United Nations to enable the Organization to focus and enhance its capacity to address the interrelated issues of drug control, crime and international terrorism in all its forms.
In the same year, UNODC Southern Africa was formed and now covers 11 countries in the region, namely: Angola, Botswana, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
The funding of UNODC's programmes is fully dependent on the continued support of the donor community.

Quakertown breaks ground on 12-acre park
Published: Oct 11 2013 06:21:23 PM EDT Updated On: Oct 11 2013 06:43:06 PM EDT
Bucks County officials are calling it the last part of the "park puzzle."
Quakertown council members broke ground Friday on a new park located at the site of the former Krupp Foundry.
The town says it acquired the property at Fourth and Mill streets back in the early 2000s.
And it hasn't been an easy process to get the spot park-ready.
"After an agonizing clean-up, we're standing on a great piece of property," said Jim Roberts.
Officials say the finished product will span twelve acres and include an amphitheater.

The Kentucky primary has shown us one thing: The Tea Party has significant influence in the Republican party.
However, as I suspected, this is going to be their undoing this November.
The Republican party is shifting right, shifting to the part of the Tea Party, which contrary to what they would ever want to believe, is a minority party.
Overall, there was only one single race in which a Democrat was running against a Republican. It's the only race that can give us a preview of November, rather than simply showing us where each party is leaning.
In that race, in a CONSERVATIVE DISTRICT mind you....the Democrat won:
So in a conservative district they elected a Democrat over a Republican, and the direction of the Republican is the laughable, easily mockable Paul legacy...well.... this is going to be great...

The crowd was smaller, warmer, yet still electric with the thrill of victory, even if it seemed more like a shared sense of relief more than an aura of limitless possibility. The victory was bigger, perhaps, than expected, but not nearly as big as the time before. And the newly elected president, the man delivering the speech, was older, wiser and once again soaring in his rhetoric—but also noticeably chastened in his expectation for change.
For those who stayed awake for President Obama's acceptance speech, which was delivered just before 2 a.m. on the East Coast, many heard echoes of 2008, calling it "the best speech Obama has given since the 2008 campaign" or wondering why the president hadn't delivered this speech at the convention. He offered a familiar, full-throated and passionate vision for the country, one that was praised as "Lincolnian in its cadences" and that had been trampled during the campaign by poll-tested practicalities and on-message talking points.

Weston "Arcane" Cage aka Why American Black Metal Will Never Be Taken Seriously
In recent news, it came to my attention that Nicolas Cage was arrested for allegedly beating his wife and mouthing off to cops daring them to arrest him. To make the story even more bizarre, former racist drug czar Dog the Bounty Hunter paid his bail.
Now I am sure you are asking: "But ABME, what does this have to do with black metal? What is this blog? Some Perez Hilton shit now?"
Well as many of you know (or probably not if you live outside of the US), Nicolas Cage's son Weston participates in a self proclaimed black metal band that is often times referred to as "...the Dimmu Borgir of LA".
Now after hearing this story, it made me think "why would Nicolas Cage allegedly beat his wife??"
My conclusion is (and remember this based solely on my elitist detective work) that his wife Alice Kim got angry when Nicolas was blasting his sons band "Eyes of Noctum" while speeding down the highway. When she told him to turn that Dimmu Borgir inspired rip-off shit down, Nicolas flipped. I can only then assume she made a comment about how the West Coast Black Metal scene is already in shambles and that supporting this type of garbage was only going to make matters worse. A furious Nicolas cage must have then decided to take matters into his own hands and what happens next we will not know till the American Justice system gets off its lazy ass. I did hear a rumor though that when police arrived on the scene, Cage turned up Eyes of Noctum full blast to try and confuse them and began head banging to it while standing on the roof of his car. This of course is all speculation...
Here I have assembled a time line of what I believe went wrong and how Eyes of Noctum came to power:
Early Childhood
Despite being brought up in a life in front of the camera, Weston enjoyed a fruitful childhood wearing Mickey Mouse shirts and dancing to Michael Jackson (as most kids did in the 80's). Nicolas was becoming an established actor and Weston was suddenly becoming the new kid on the block. His dad was in major blockbusters like Con Air, The Rock, Face Off, and things were only looking up.
Left: Weston at a early age was often times confused about why he had to dress nice and pose for pictures constantly...
...and slowly he began to despise this process.... Little did he know he would soon be trading in his necklaces for spiked arm bands and inverted crosses...
Teenage Years
Research suggest it is about this time that Weston began speaking with imaginary "pet demons" called Lucifri and Moorokook. Also speaking in tongues was not uncommon as well dating women twice his age. I would pin point this era as the stage he first began listening to "evil" music like Rammstein and Cradle of Filth.
Left: During his teenage years, Weston began dabbling in shitty music like Cradle of Filth and later day Dimmu Borgir (post EDT). His appearance changed greatly and began skipping church
While school was a lost cause, Nicolas noticed his son had a "don't fuck with me" appearance and hired him full time as a body guard. This was actually the high point of his life for the next several years, up until he pushed an elderly lady in front of a bus. It turns out she was simply taking pictures of pigeons she was feeding and had no idea who Nicolas Cage was.
Left: Not wanting to attend public schools or college, Nicolas would eventually hire Weston as his personal body guard against Paparazzi.
Early to mid 20's
Defiant and no longer proud of his fathers movie resume, Weston found himself being dragged to movie premiers such as as National Treasure, G-Force, and Bangkok Dangerous. Weston still liked all the attention, but felt he needed to get it by other means...but what could that be?
Left: Weston was often times dragged to red carpet events with his father. Despite his fathers pleas, Weston would show up wearing eyeliner, cheap pleather pants, and non-designer brand boots.Here he is pictured at the opening for "The Ant Bully"
The "RoCk Supa Starz" era - Present Day
Then it came to Weston one night. Form a LA Black Metal band! Perfect! His dad could easily fund the project and it would get Weston out of Nicolas' mansion. Weston set forth with a band of goons, put out a really horrible fucking "sympho-core" black metal album, and some how managed to open for fucking Urgehal!!!. Un-fucking believable.... Here we have some selected pictures for your viewing pleasure:
West pictured here with what I am assuming is his mom due to her age, must have read my blog and is playing it safe by not putting any lame patches on his denim vest.
The most commonly known photo of Weston is not a band pic, but instead this lame photo featuring him with his apparently drunk father. The photo would be pressed in some bullshit tabloid magazine and shipped out to grocery stores across America that I am sure your mom read while ignoring your cries for candy while standing in the checkout line.
In what was considered one of the most disastrous album artwork decisions since Obtained Enslavement's "Shepherd and the Hounds of Hell" album; Eyes of Noctum's "Inceptum" was released to an unsuspecting USBM scene with a Parental Advisory warning slapped on the front. The PA warning alone is serious violation of Black Metal code and carries a very hefty punishment.
According to the information gathered, using his dads money was guaranteed to turn his band successful overnight!! So in conclusion here (again this is gathered from my elitist studies), if it were not for his for his rich father (who at one point owned TWO CASTLES), I am almost positive Eyes of Noctum would not have existed. Need more proof?
Read these liner notes:
Session drums by:
Hellhammer (black metal's drumming whore) and Snowy Shaw (who's only worthy credit is playing for Mercyful Fate which is immediately canceled out for playing on the new Dimmu album and this shit).
The CD was recorded at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden and produced by Fredrik Nordström (which is not a big deal because Dan Swano owns his nu-metal ass when it comes to everything) with contributions by the renowned music producer Jack Douglas (REALLY??? This is a fucking LAME black metal album, so Jack Douglas must have worked wonders on this mule dung).
Name me ONE band that actually is talented that got this first class (or shit class because nothing listed above is worth bragging about) treatment for their debut album. That's right, no demo extensive touring to get your name out. To make matters worse, it is clear Weston has not a single clue what black metal is about.
Here are comments from some retarded apes who thought this album was amazing:
"...(Eyes of Noctum) actually really kicks major ass!! Its like Dimmu Borgir with less keyboards which makes it much cooler"
"Best f*cking album I have heard, Nicholas Cage should be proud of his son for now he knows what true black metal is about"
"...saw them live and Nick cage was there too! He was super nice even though you think he would be a dick like in his movies. Got a picture of him too!"
"Ant Bully is not suitable for kids under 10 as it does use words like "shut-up" and "idiot" at least a dozen times"
People who live in LA are fucking brats. I anxiously await the day LA falls off into the Pacific Ocean and takes all their snot nose bitches and false metal twats with it.
More to come soon regarding Weston's mom and a certain Norwegian clown she is seeing... I leave you with this flyer...
Welcome to America Urgehal, where we will give you a bunch of our shitty USBM acts to open up for you.

I don't anything about black metal however I do agree that he most likely got (or his band that us) by his daddy's money and fame! But I have to say as a woman, Westen is extremely hot!

Sorry for posting so late, but I am a nOOb to the ABME. Please forgive. Honestly, WTF does ANYONE in LA have to be evil about? Its all sunshine and slots. Now, if Westie wants to be depressed, he should move to the Midwest. That will make ANYBODY evil. What a p.o.s. Hope he and his father burn in heaven
- August 7, 2011 at 8:41 PM
The funniest and most ironic bit of all is that Weston's mom (yes the lady pictured with him IS his mom) briefly became the 18th heavily surgically advanced wife of Shagrath of Dimmu. I'm not sure how he tells all his wives apart, since they all look exactly the same. But since he has recently been seen about town with every woman on earth BESIDES his wife, I'm sure she'll be replaced soon...then maybe Weston will fight Shagrath to defend his mom's honor. This I gotta see!

@sharon I think you meant "his father's bank account balance is hot."

You could also write similar articles about why English black metal will never be taken seriously because of Dani Filth, or why all black metal from Norway will never be taken seriously because of butt-fucking Gaahl and his fashionista dick sucking boyfriend. There are worthless fucks in every country in this genre. Funny thing is, when you get into black metal scenes in European countries, all you find is a bunch of child drunks who talk about how evil they are and care more about their spikes and leather than actually spreading chaos. When you get into many American black metal scenes, you find genuinely violent, militant, heavily armed (with guns, not kitchen knives) physically trained soldiers ready to blow your puny head off. So you tell me who is more "troo", those ready to actually wage war, or those who sit around talking about it.

Dynamic Support in the midsole adds stability without adding weight, plus a floating heel-support clip moves with you to keep the back of the foot from rolling. Increase your visibility with reflective elements, making it safer to run when light is low. Gain a smoother, more efficient stride with deep flex grooves in the sole of the kids' running shoes.
