The Stimulate This! Tour is coming to Austin Music Hall, featuring rock sensations Staind, Chevelle and Halestorm.
Staind released their sixth album entitled, "The Illusion of Progress," one year ago, on August 19th. The album also had a limited edition disc-set for select fans featuring bonus tracks."This Is It," a track from the set was available for iTunes downloads, as well as for the popular "RockBand" videogame before the album hit the shelves. The rock album debuted at #3 on US Billboard 200, while reaching #1 on the Top Modern Rock/Alternative Albums Chart and on Top Digital/Internet Album charts. The band hails from Spingfield, Massachusetts and is made up of lead singer Aaron Lewis, lead guitarist Mike Mushok, bassist/vocalist Johnny April and drummer Jon Wysocki.
Many of the band's followers had no clue that in November of 2003, Staind attempted to sue musician Jon Stainbrook over his 1980 trademark of "The Stain". If it had came out unfavoralbe than Staind would have had to change their band name and forfeit all trademark claims. Luckily this was avoided and in 2005, guitarist Mike Mushok claimed that Staind had on contact with Stainbrook and had no idea of Stainbrook negotiations. Finally coming to an agreement Stainbrook and Staind share the rights to use the trademark. Later, the band's second single was "All I Want", that came out on November 24 and the video was made available on Staind's Myspace on December 12.
The hit song "Believe", topped Billboard's Top 10 Modern Rock Tracks in September of that year. The band has also been supporting on their 2008 European tour. In recent news the band was accredited for their work with the"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen – The Album " released in late June, 2009. The band had became increasingly popular for the track, "It's been awhile," which debuted at the top of the billboards in a time when hip-hop/pop dominated the charts. Staind has toured with many great acts including Sevendust, Seether, Flyleaf, P.O.D and Tool, and Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit who befriended the band during their first tour leading to him producing many of their following records.
Aaron Lewis recently stated in an interview that he has switched gears and begun writing for his up-coming solo album later set to be released this year. Staind will also be hammering out a fall tour with the newly reunited band "Creed."
Chevelle has a newly released a fourth album, Vena Sera and the band recently finished recording its fifth album, Sci-Fi Crimes, set to be released on September 1, 2009. Chevelle is an American Rock band that started in Illinois. The band was made up of three brothers: Pete (lead vocals/guitar), Sam (Drums) and Joe (Background vocals and guitar). Joe left the band and was later replaced by brother-in-law, Dean Bernardini.
Chevelle started writing songs for their fifth album in 2008. In 2009, the band entered a studio in Nashville with producer Brian Virtue. Sam stated, "We have spent a lot of time making these songs something different from past records without losing the core of our passion. Chevelle has updates and videos from the studio on its official Myspace page. On April 9th, 2009, in their first concert back in Atlanta Georgia, Chevelle premiered two new singles from the new album: "Letter From A Thief" and "Sleep Apnea". It was then that Sam disclosed in an interview that "Sci-Fi Crimes" would serve as the title of their upcoming fifth studio album set to be released on September 1st, 2009.
Chevelle received deep criticizm from the religious community since Chevelle had started of under a Christian label and went on to book shows at Ozzfest and tour with Cradle of Fifth. Sam told the "Chicago Tribune," that they were recovering catholics and that their faith was still extremely important but very personal. They didn't feel that being a rock band on stage would serve as a pulpit. Having been compared to Tool, writers for Christianity Today and The Daily Texan have stated Chevelle as having a unique sound to their music. The Daily Texan described their music as "a kind of controlled chaos, a beautiful darkness, a gentle rampage of aural velocity." Chevelle toured with famous bands such as Machine Head, Filter, and also for four years before Squint Entertainment shut down and the band were signed on to Epic Records in 2002.
Halestorm is a progressive rock band with roots in Pennsylvania and California. The group signed a recording contract with Atlantic Record in June 2005. Then toured nationally from January to March 2006 on the Winterfresh Sno-core Tour with Flyleaf, Seether, and Shinedown which is also on the tour list with the Stimulate This! Tour.
The band features lead vocals/rhythm guitar by Lzzy Hale, back vocals/lead guitar by Joe Hottinger, vocals and bass by Josh Smith, and drums by Arejay Hale. Lzzy remixed a Shinedown song "Shed Some Light", from their album "Us and Them," it never officially released but later the debut album was released on April 28, 2009. However, the song "I Get Off" serves as the album's lead single and has gained heavy radio play.
The Stimulate Thi Tour will be playing at the Austin Music Hall on Friday, August the 21st. It is located at 208 Nueces and attendees can call 512.263.4146 for better instructions.Tickets are available for purchase through GETTIX including Waterloo Records and Pinky's Wireless. They can also be charged by phone at 1-866-443-8849 or purchase online/box office at the Music Hall. They are currently going for $42, a steal to catch these high caliber bands.

Shell Removes Lead From Light Aircraft Fuel
LONDON, December 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Shell today became the first major oil company to develop a lead-free replacement for Aviation Gasoline (Avgas 100 and 100LL), which will now begin a strict regulatory approvals process. Avgas is one of the last common transportation fuels to contain lead and is used by light aircraft and helicopters. Shell's new lead-free formulation comes after 10 years of exhaustive R&D, as well as successful initial testing, carried out in the last two months by two original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
Xinsheng (Sheng) Zhang, Vice-President of Shell Aviation, said: "We are proud of this first for Shell Aviation. This advanced product is the latest milestone in our long history of innovation. We believe that with industry support, a stringent approvals process can be completed for this new lead-free product within a short time-frame. We look forward to working alongside our technical partners and authorities to progress the necessary approvals needed to make this product a reality for use in light aircraft engines of all types." Avgas currently includes lead in its formulation to meet fuel specifications and boost combustion performance (known as Motor Octane rating). Shell has developed an unleaded Avgas that meets all key Avgas properties and that has a Motor Octane rating of over 100, an industry standard. The development of a technically and commercially-viable unleaded Avgas that meets these criteria has been seen by the aviation industry as a significant challenge, due to the tight specifications and strict flight safety standards that it has to adhere to. To get to this stage, Shell Aviation technologists carried out an intensive internal laboratory programme, including in-house altitude rig and engine testing. Working alliances were then formed with aviation engine manufacturer Lycoming Engines (Lycoming) and the light aircraft manufacturer Piper Aircraft Inc. (Piper). As a result, the formulation was successfully evaluated in industry laboratory engine (bench) tests by Lycoming and in a flight test by Piper.

Daily Deviations UpdateHappy Monday Morning I started this morning by signing something "Moonbam13" so either this typo means I need more coffee, or this week is going to be BAMTASTIC!I'm rooting for the latter I wanted to post a quick update on changes to Daily Deviations. It is important to note that these changes have not been hard-coded so my team is manually following these new guidelines. This means that errors can and likely will occur until the coding is complete, your patience and understanding is appreciated The following guideline changes are in effect: The 3-month rule is now the 6-month rule, meaning that it must be at least 6-months since the last time an artist received a daily deviation. (This was an overwhelmingly popular suggestion from the community and I agree, it's a good one!) Daily deviation selectors may only select one daily deviation per day maximum. This has been put in place to focus on Quality vs Quantity.

Self Suggesting DD'sThank you so much for all the +favs, the comments and +devwatchs I've received and still am for my Daily Deviation "Carried Away". You guys are awesome and I appreciate your support so much! Now I have a confession to make... I self suggested this deviation to DomiSM, so it didn't come as a surprise I received it.I know from being a volunteer that some people feel that DD's should be suggested by others or that it should be a surprise. Well no, not always. Sometimes you have to fight for your work to gain exposure. Gone are the days where deviantART was a small site... you need to learn how to use the channels on dA to get the exposure your work deserves.These days, I work in vector and the high pecentage of work I upload to dA is client work. A huge part of being a Freelancer is marketting yourself and putting yourself out there. This is why self suggesting yourself for a Daily Deviation should be

International Women's Day: Female Focused Vector What is International Women's Day?The following has been quoted from the InternationalWomensDay.com:"International Women's Day has been observed since in the early 1900's, a time of great expansion and turbulence in the industrialized world that saw booming population growth and the rise of radical ideologies. The new millennium has witnessed a significant change and attitudinal shift in both women's and society's thoughts about women's equality and emancipation. Many from a younger generation feel that 'all the battles have been won for women' while many feminists from the 1970's know only too well the longevity and ingrained complexity of patriarchy. With more women in the boardroom, greater equality in legislative rights, and an increased critical mass of women's visibility as impressive role models in every aspect of life, one could think
Why must you credit your stock?Hey, photomanipulators!How are you? Hope everyone is doing well tonight. I need your help with something, if you don't mind. I've been digging pretty seriously through deviation after deviation, looking for DDs to feature to show everyone how awesome our community is. And, oh my gosh, you guys, I found two that are BREATHTAKING that I really, really wanted to feature. But-- you guessed it-- they did not credit their stock resources. This isn't just a problem that I have as a CV.I still love saying that! I'm a CV!!Lack of crediting is a problem that affects the entire photomanipulation community, and you should and must care about it. Here's why:It impacts what we can and cannot submit to groups, features, DDs, etc.It is contagious; when one artist does not credit, others tend to follow suit.It is unethical not to give someone credit for their hard work. Plus, it is against dA policy. Oh, and it violates copyright law.IT

Photography Weekly: Edition ElevenPhotography Weekly Header created by TouchedD"I can't tell you how many pictures I've missed, ignored, trampled, or otherwise lost just 'cause I've been so hell bent on getting the shot I think I want."-Joe McNally-I recently blogged about Joe McNally and his book The Moment It Clicks.

Wofford Terriers (21-12)
@Charleston Cougars (24-10)
Monday, March 07
McKenzie Arena - Chattanooga, TN
Attendance: 3,374
Chattanooga, TN (Sports Network) - Wofford is headed back to the NCAA Tournament as Southern Conference champions for the second straight year, upending College of Charleston, 77-67, behind 21 points from Cameron Rundles and 20 points and nine rebounds from Noah Dahlman.
Jamar Diggs ended with 17 points for the Terriers (21-12), who captured their first conference tournament crown last season before bowing out to Wisconsin in a hard-fought first-round game.
Andrew Goudelock finished with 25 points and Donavan Monroe had 19 for the Cougars (24-10), who have lost four conference title games since their last crown (1999).
Both teams tied for the regular season conference title, and Charleston won both meetings coming in, including a lopsided 79-54 decision on February 3, to earn the No. 1 seed.
Monday's meeting proved much different, with neither team leading by more than five in the first half. Monroe's late tip-in yielded a 32-28 lead for Charleston at the break.
The Cougars were up 52-50 before they went five minutes without a field goal midway through the second half. Wofford's subsequent 10-1 run, capped by two Terry Martin free throws, gave the Terriers a seven-point lead with seven minutes to go.
Two Goudelock free throws with three minutes on the clock cut the deficit to 68-64, but Wofford sealed the game at the line by hitting 8-of-10 from the stripe the rest of the way.

ITEM 9070. This fabulous late 19th century sheet metal weathervane was at one time owned by the noted NYC folk art dealer Susan Parrish. The piece is superbly well balanced and beautifully designed to convey an energetic yet graceful running horse. The surface is naturally pitted and shows some worn remains of paint - it has not been altered or enhanced in modern times. Measures 40"L x 28"H. $4200
ITEM 10106. Standing 5 5/8"H, this hand molded figural stoneware dog bank was made by a skilled potter in the mid to late 19th century. The piece exhibits some wear but no damage. Much of the original painted highlights remain, most notably the name "Lois Pinkham" emblazoned on the collar. $1650
ITEM 9838. Black soapstone inkwell inscribed "Solon Huntington - Orford, NH - July 14, 1825." This ink was likely carved to commemorate Lafayette's journey through New Hampshire in June of 1825. July 14 is of course Bastille Day. Ex. Grace and Elliot Snyder. Measures roughly 1 ¾"H x 2" SQ. $1350
ITEM 9876. This stunning two gallon jar is debossed "T. Harrington / Lyons" and it features a boldly rendered bunch of grapes. The piece dates C. 1860 and it presents in a remarkable state of preservation with no damage of consequence of concern. The clay is evenly colored and there is no "fry" in the blue decoration.
ITEM 9301. What a face! This cast iron architectural element dates to the late 19th or early 20th century and it features both glass eyes and the "best" surface. The piece measures 15"H and it is presented on a beautifully designed custom made stand. $2850
ITEM 9251. Decorated with an ochre colored floral design, this wonderful little stoneware flowerpot is likely the work of a Fort Edward, NY potter and it dates C. 1845. Diminutively sized at 5" in height, the piece exhibits fine proportions and it presents itself more than a century and a half after its production in as potted condition with no damage. $425
ITEM 9095. Though unsigned, this exquisite carved bird is quite obviously the work of a masterful late 19th/early 20th century carver and polychrome decorator. Each detail (both carved and painted) is rendered in the best possible manner and the sturdily designed base supports the delicate yet boldly executed bid to perfection. Object measures 5 3/8"H. $975
ITEM 9958. It is our belief that this double sided sign was made in the era (C. 1920) of the "Snow Trains" that brought skiers from the city to the mountains of Northern New England. As shown, one side displays beautifully - the other has been weathered. The sign is sizable at roughly 14" x 48"L but not too large to fit in a multitude of spaces. $1350
ITEM 9929. This early 20th century wooden gameboard incorporates painted cloth in its design. The board is roughly 16" square and it is held together with early round head nails. There is some expected wear to the cloth. $475
ITEM CA0188. This beautifully formed 2 gallon ovoid stoneware jug is debossed "I. Seymour / Troy. Factory" and it dates C. 1830. The jug is decorated with a simple, yet pleasant blue floral design and it is undamaged, exhibiting only the minor flaws associated with the kiln such as stone pings and minor clay discoloration. $450

In short, a city with one of the worst reputations among urbanites for pollution, lawlessness, and general chaos, has an entirely new appeal.
"Outsiders once viewed the city as terrorizing," says Ivan de la Lanza, who works for the city's bike sharing program called Ecobici. "Now it's a city that people want to visit, where they want to live."
Quality of life
It is on the environmental front that Ebrard has garnered the most international plaudits, and one of the reasons he won the World Mayor's 2010 prize for best urban leader. After taking office he outlined a 15-year "Green Plan" to reduce the city's overall greenhouse gas emissions. The Ecobici program now counts over 50,000 users who can forgo their cars to commute to work along 17 paved miles of bike path. The city just unveiled a new $2 billion subway line that not only cuts commutes by an hour and in some cases much more, but also aims to get hundreds of buses off the streets.
"Along with [President] Felipe Calderon, Ebrard has supported environmental causes more than any previous administrations," says Gustavo Alanis Ortega, the director general of the Mexican Center for Environmental Rights in Mexico City.
There are of course "incongruencies," says Mr. Alanis Ortega.
The city closed down a giant landfill as part of its environmental plan, but that's meant that streets have piled up with garbage ever since. Ebrard has forged ahead with new road systems, including a double-decker structure for the highway that rings the city. While it's been supported by some who believe it will relieve unbearable rush-hour traffic, it is criticized by others for the additional cars it will bring to the city center.
