They're looking VERY hot tonight on UK X Factor. I thought Niall looked very nice.
Just watched them on the UK X-Factor, first time i've seen them since they were on the show as contestants, they're actually rather good, apart from the one with the quiff who can't sing.
The album is pretty much what one would expect from the group. Its formulaic but well executed. Even most of the songs one would call "filler" are generally quality and not throwaways. I feel that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts which was one of my problems with their first outing. I actually respect that they don't feel the need to pander to the hipsters out there by having a rap track, a dance track, and thank god there is no no veer towards R&B radio. Just pop...which is as it should be. The album is meant to be fun, and it is. That is not to say that it does not have issues. Some of the songs sound a bit too similar in style to the singles from "Up All Night" making them a bit redundant, and Little Things is a sellout and artistic flop if I have ever seen one. Still, they don't try to apologize for being what they are, which is as it should be.
The track on the album that is probably the most similar to the style/vibe of their hits on "Up All Night". Its a solid pop anthem but I feel it lacks the something extra that made "You Don't Know Your Beautiful" a massive radio hit. Still a solid, fun song, that I can enjoy if I am in the right mood. The song captures the persona of the band very well and delivers what the fans expect.
Nice fast paced ditty with good rhythm. Supposedly this will be the next single and thats probably a good thing because, while its not groundbreaking by any means, it is a different style than their previous singles. Lighthearted and really plays to their base without coming of as pandering.
Speaking of pandering.....hi Little Things! First off this song is 100% pander. No way to get around that. It's lyrics are super uncomfortable and essentially are just taking the "What Make's You Beautiful" theme way to far. The song only exists because they wanted a super slow song that even the less uh....vocally adept....members of the band could sound good on solo. No one would ever actually want someone to sing this to them. Even if you move beyond the lyrics its just not a well put together song to begin with.
Nice song. Its a very archetypal ....nothing surprising here to be found. Its a solid attempy but it doesn't cause any emotion from me one way or another. Still, no major complaints to be had. I do think other songs on the album do a better job of what this one is attempting.
Mid tempo track that is pretty much exactly what the title implies. Its very obvious that this is going to be a fangirl staple for a long, long time. Would not be at all surprised if this end up as a single if their management does not want to mess with the formula. I personally don't find the song to be all that catchy so meh.
Reminds me of an Avril Lavigne track, especially at the start. Really nothing special about this song in my humble opinion. Very typical.
Blatantly inspired by "We Will Rock You" by Queen, but it is well executed. Fun song that isn't too "pandery" and no filler. I don't think this has much of a chance of becoming a single, but I think it is a very nice change-up in the middle of the album. I enjoy the song quite a bit. Also it's a showcase of the thinly veiled sexual innuendo that the band is slowly getting known for. This helps it have a broader appeal I think.
Another ballad in a similar vein to "Little Things". Its a much better song though as it is has far less pander. Still......I see this song as mostly filler. Itt does pick up a bit at the end and I do enjoy it now and again.
Filler, but GOOD filler. Its very catchy and fast paced. This one has more pander than the average track and it is very, very obviously and blatantly appealing to school age girls. The lack of wiggle room with the lyrics makes it harder for the song to appeal to a larger base, but its not bad enough that I feel like complaining about it too much. Still a nice track.
The lyrics are a bit...all over the place and random. The song does get moving fairly quickly though so it doesn't bother me as much as it could. Of the three ballads that fill the same niche in the album.....this is by far the best. Nice heartfelt song with lyrics that lend themselves to a wide range of interpretations which broadens its appeal. I like it. It has a charm to it that Little Things lacks. It is very easy to tell who is singing, and their different voices actually improve the song (poor Louis).
This song is back to the original formula. Another song I don't have a hard time imagining on the first album. Filler. Still its a solid song.
One of those songs you swear you have heard before because its a very familiar sound. Still its a well executed song that I really can enjoy, and I think it is accessible to a broad audience. I REALLY liked it when I first heard it, but my enthusiasm has cooled a bit since then. Still, I have no major concerns.
Another song I could swear I have heard before.....however, I don't really care in this case. I really like the song as a well executed album ender. I love this type of track and can tell I will be listening to it for a very long time. Warm and fuzzy is how I would describe it.
I like the song. Sometimes the lyrics sound a little bit forced so there are fillers during the verse. Also another very familiar rhythm. Still its fun and fast paced with a catchy chorus. Solid if shallow.
Journey? I guess there is something to be said for just being blatant when copying another songs sound. I really can't get past that like I can with Rock Me. Meh.
The opening had my expectations low...... then the moment the song starts to pick up its amazing in my opinion. This is a song I will be listening to for a long time with its nice swing. I could totally see myself dancing on a beach to this song. It has just the right amount of pandering to make the song appealing without being uncomfortable/condescending. I like this type of song in general rhythm and I won't apologize for that. Easily my favorite song on the album along with Over Again.
A different rhythm than any of the other songs on the album. Solid song but not one of my favorites.

Hmmm. 1D in 3D. Nope, can't think of anything better than that, other than 1D themselves.
Did anyone else see the brief shot today on the Ellen Show where one of the guys (maybe Liam) actually grabbed Harry's ass? It was near the end of their first song when the camara was showing the guys from behind. They were all singing and walking forward in a line and just as they stopped, the guy to Harry's left grabbed his ass. The camara shot changed to showing them from the front and Harry was doing the solo at the end of the song. You couldn't see anything from that angle because the boys were all standing close together.
We've seen this before from the guys so it's no big deal. They have proven they are very comfortable with themselves and with grabbing each other ass. Just thought it was kinda funny to see it done at their Ellen Show Concert.
Niall has amazing eyes. I wonder if any of them will come out as gay, it's as if everyone is straight these days.
Sinestro....that's it! I knew I saw Liam grab Harry's ass. I'm sure Harry loved it. It seems the boys really like messing around together. I love how open they are about it too.
Actually I'd love to be in three-way with Liam and Harry. That would be one hot and sweaty pile of sexy boy flesh.
I would be absolutely shocked if it was Niall or Liam that came out as gay. As this thread seems to lean more towards Louis, Harry and Zayn as gay, I think we should start to debate as to why Niall or Liam could be the gay ones....who wants to go first lol...
Where is Sokker when you need her....
Add me on Kik Messenger for a chat - danny.mo.89
Harry is not gay (too many ladies around him, definetly not a publicity stunt)
Zayn can't be gay even if he was (It is difficult to be gay in a Muslim household)
Louis plays too much with his sexuality (see Robbie Williams), if he didn't want to come across as gay he would have acted the opposite (see Liam), he also had a long term girlfriend.
Niall could be gay, he is a bit shy and we do not have too many info of previous relationships with girls.
Liam could be gay, he act too straight (Maybe because he is), and his relationships seem fake (unlike Harry's)
In fact I believe Liam and Niall fuck each other, Liam top obviously
Happy now?

Harry - As much men as women to be fair, it's perfectly plausible to be Bi. (though possibly not)
Zayn - And? He'd just not tell his family he was. (not that I think he is)
Louis - Well, he acts it, but some straight men are effeminate.
Niall - Strikes me as he's "Meh! not all that bothered."
Liam - Doubtful.
LOL.. I'm here. I could possibly see Liam being gay. The only one I would find a hard time labeling gay would be Niall. He's the epitome of straight imo. I still think it's more likely that Louis is gay. I know all about the twitter drama, but Louis is definitely gay.. insinuating blow jobs, getting boners around his male friends, having a fake girlfriend etc. Then you have Harry with his gender neutral pronouns and rumors of hooking up with Grimmy. Then you have Zayn and people claiming he's bisexual and that he dated a boy in high school (don't know how reliable this is though). Then Liam who I never thought was possibly bi/gay until recently, but he seems very affectionate towards Zayn lately, so I wouldn't rule out him being bi/gay either. I'd say in likelihood, from most likely to least likely being gay would be Louis, Harry, Zayn, Liam and Niall as the least likely.
I like Francisco Lachowski, Jon Kortajarena and other male models
Love Zayn
VERY hot thread
this pic is from Wednesday night in NYC. they fill the Macy's balloons Wednesday night for the parade. i had to share it...and add a caption...
CAPTION: So is this why he's called the "Amazing Spiderman" now...???
"Everyone wants to be adored."
Thanks for the new pics! Seems like we even got some new Larry. Louis and Harry look damn fine too!
I like Francisco Lachowski, Jon Kortajarena and other male models
I'm sorry if this comes off as mean but that's life. But every time I see posts like this "Omg they all gay or bi. Omg is gay or a fake relationship. Management blah blah blah"
All I see is girls finding excuse why they can't date this guys besides from the fact that its prob cause they never would instead of them actually being all gay.
I mean honestly you guys harp on about like its your religion. Louis has said it annoyed him and now he's blown up twice on twitter but instead of you all going "hhmm maybe we're wrong?" It's no hey it's management MORE conspiracy! And it'll will eventually lead 1D to break up whether its true or not.
Umm.. ok. But no. You're wrong. Louis is definitely gay. he's getting boners around his male friends and has a gay boyfriend. Harry is straight or bisexual (I'm leaning towards bisexual). I'm not saying all of them are gay. I was listing them from most likely to least likely. Honestly.. even though I COULD see Liam and Zayn being gay/bi, there's no sunbstantiated proof with them like there is with Harry and Louis.
You know what? If Louis is so pissed off about the gay rumors he should just stop looking at Harry while insinuating blowjobs. He should stop with the sexual gay innuendos if it bothers him so fucking much, but no.. he doesn't. WHY?!? And I have read all about his girlfriend, and I'm still convinced she's fake. He doesn't know when they started dating or how they started dating. He tweets her "love you" while he's asleep on a plane.. they hardly ever kiss and they hold hands all awkwardly. Whenever they go out it's always publicly.. always shopping or starbucks. Then there's all the publicity stunts and photo ops and stupidity and her blatantly lying about how and when they met. Back in september he said they had been going out for a year, and now in november, two months later, it's apparently their anniversary yet again. LOL. He was called out on his lie, which is why he was throwing a tantrum. He is getting more and more pissed because people are not idiots and can see through his lies.
And btw.. bearding has been happening for a long time. It's not something new. It has existed in the music industry, and will probably continue to exist. It's so funny that people are so quick to label everything "conspiracy" yet have no idea what they're talking about. If you actually knew about the industry you'd know that it's quite likely that he'd get a fake girlfriend.. other closeted men have done it in the past. And we're talking about Modest here.. the same company that basically lost all of its important clients because of mismanagement. They were sued by a couple of musicians too. Yet you think they're incapable of convincing Louis to get a fake girlfriend? LOL. There's a reason they were dropped from TXF. They're assholes and they mistreat their clients. You also need to remember he's not doing this for himself, but also for the band. In his mind he probably thinks he's protecting them too. Plus it's so funny that you say we refuse to admit where wrong.. well, you refuse to look past anything. You believe everything you read. How is that any better? I don't ship Larry. I don't think they're real. I do think they're both bi/gay, but I don't think they're in a secret relationship like most larry shippers do. I however do think Louis is gay and has a fake girlfriend. His fake girlfriend is to cover his sexuality. The proof is there if you know where to look.
And btw.. I'm pretty sure Harry is gay.. he constantly uses gender neutral pronouns, half of his friends are gay, he wears equality t-shirts and goes to gay bars.. he changes lyrics from "her" to "him". Need I go on?
I like Francisco Lachowski, Jon Kortajarena and other male models
This gif has been driving me nuts for days.
Now it taunts me too Waffle.
They are such teases....
Just fuck already!
Oh lord, thank u so much Wafflecakes. My 2 favorite members of Wand Erection oozing sexual tension in a single gif. I'm good for years with that one alone.
That is a very hot gif....damn
I've heard rumors that Harry used to have a crush on Niall.. don't know if it's true, but they sure are cute together! Their bromance name is Narry btw :P
I like Francisco Lachowski, Jon Kortajarena and other male models
Wonder if he moved to Niall because Louis has become too much Drama.
he is here and he is about to cum

Harry- very fluid (meaning he will bang or make out with whomever) with his sexuality.
Niall- straight.
Louis- probably closeted (possibly bi).
Liam- totally straight.
Zayn- straight.
I wouldn't be surprised if Harry or Louis were with both guys and girls.
Liam comes off to me as being as straight as can be. The most straight of the group. haha
I think all five of them are totally hot and handsome.....
but I really like Liam the best.
I don't want to say anything too bad about Liam.. because he's an amazing guy. I love his personality. But he's not my type at all. I am all for face.. and he just doesn't have the best face in the world. I find Louis, Harry and Zayn much more attractive for example. But again.. we all have different taste. I can totally see why others would find him hot. He's not ugly or anything like that. I find him quite average though, and he's not what I would go for. Like you can see he's the complete opposite of the guy I have in my profile pic.. lol.
I like Francisco Lachowski, Jon Kortajarena and other male models
I loved his look on X Factor...and his personality because he felt mature for his age.
It has all gone downhill since then.
^fuck yeah! Precisely

Oh Harry you naughty boy!
are those real? lmfao
Which one(s) do you like sokker? I can't remember if you mentioned it before.

Before the successful shift from county to state funding of the trial courts in 1997, trial courts generally received their legal services from local county counsels. With state funding, presiding judges and the Judicial Council asked the Administrative Office of the Courts to begin providing legal services to the trial courts.
The judicial branch agency provides all legal services needed by the trial and appellate courts, including litigation defense and legal advice on labor, employment, and judicial administration issues.

Sweater: c/o sisters closet | Shirt: PacSun | Tank: Rue21 | Leggings: Target | Boots: MukLuks | Glasses: WalMart
Night outfit: Skirt: (tube dress) WetSeal | Belt: F21
From playing with the kids to date night in 5 mins. I love the simplicity, combing a flowy top with comfy pants during the day, then throwing on a fun skirt for the evening to liven things up. If you stopped by my house any day of the week, you'd probably see me in outfit #1. I am most definitely not strutting around the house all dressed up every day of my life, just so we're clear. I think it's important to get out of your routine sometimes though, to put on something pretty and feel girly. Especially when you're a SAHM, life can become a bit routine, you shouldn't lose yourself to sweat pants.

I am at such a loss on what I am going to do. I have been looking at the Hopper ever since CES and it is starting to look real interesting. I have been a DTV customer for 10 years and have been off contract for 4-5 years. I was thinking of the HR44, but not sure I can wait, the Hopper does look pretty nice (and we record 70% of our stuff from local channels).
Anyway, I called to cancel, and they offered me Genie+C31 for $49 plus $20 off my bill for the next year. To me, getting a HR34, with the HR44 around the corner seems like a waste, and the some of the concepts of the hopper are pretty neat. The Dish interface, however, kind of rubs me the right way.
I am not fishing here, I really am at a standstill (I called Direct tv to really cancel, or at least have them try and make me pay $300 for the Genie, in which case I would have had no problem going to Dish)....
I guess the Hopper is for some people. I like having 5 tuners at my discretion and not someone elses. Not to mention isnt there a cap on how long the local channels recordings are available as well? Seems like a waste of a 2TB drive if they are gonna limit those local recordings. The HR44 is not going to be that much different to justify not get a HR34. In no way shape or form would I jump ship. What else would you gain? Are there HD channels Dish has that you want or would you save money? If so great. If not, you might reconsider.

You've identified a couple of "known" issues with the HR2x scheduler. The numbers in the PRIORITIZER lines are supposed to show how many shows are actually scheduled to RECORD. This broke under 0x0290, and I reported it as an issue during beta. You might want to report this as well in the National Release 0x0290 "issues" thread.What do the (#) numbers mean in the priotizer lines?
Why is Notre Dame not being selected to record?
If there are 6 First Run Jon ANd Kate dates, why is only 1 recording?
The Notre Dame and Jon and Kates should eventually be scheduled. This is a longstanding AUTORECORD issue.It sometimes takes days for AUTORECORDS to properly populate the TODO list. The good news is that 99% of the time, they will populate and record, but sometimes you won't see them scheduled until the day of the recording. If you read back in this thread, you'll see several complaints about this.
I'm hopeful that DirecTV is working on new software that will allow us to immediately see the results of our recording scheduling actions or PRIORITIZER changes in the TODO list, but I have no first-hand knowledge that this is the case.

Burmester GR et al. – Analysis of adverse events of interest through nearly 12 years of adalimumab exposure in clinical trials across indications demonstrated individual differences in rates by disease populations, no new safety signals and a safety profile consistent with known information about the anti–TNF class.
Methods- This analysis included 23 458 patients exposed to adalimumab in 71 global clinical trials in RA, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis (Ps) and Crohn's disease (CD).
- Events per 100 patient–years were calculated using events reported after the first dose through 70 days after the last dose.
- Standardised incidence rates for malignancies were calculated using a National Cancer Institute database. Standardised death rates were calculated using WHO data.
- The most frequently reported serious adverse events across indications were infections with greatest incidence in RA and CD trials.
- Overall malignancy rates for adalimumab–treated patients were as expected for the general population; the incidence of lymphoma was increased in patients with RA, but within the range expected in RA without anti–TNF therapy; non–melanoma skin cancer incidence was raised in RA, Ps and CD.
- In all indications, death rates were lower than, or equivalent to, those expected in the general population.

I love everything about genealogy – the twists and turns that our family trees take, the ups and downs of dead ends, the excitement of finding something unexpected and sharing in someone elses excitement at their finds. All of these things keep me absolutely hooked.
I'm also aware how lucky I am to be living in this age of computers and online access, because many of these surprises arrive that way. I'm also lucky because I have a very easy life compared to many of my ancestors. Technology and machines have made my life a very easy one, from doing laundry to cooking and more. However I'm not convinced that they save me time…….especially the one I'm using to write this post!!
I did get a surprise last week though and I'd like to share it with you. A gentleman sent me a photograph of a gravestone from a remote area in South Africa. He wanted it to be available in case anyone might be searching for the person listed on the grave. I was very moved by his thoughtfulness, the fact that he sent it to me via Ancestral Wales because "you never know who might be looking for family" was one of the coolest things that has happened since I launched the website, and so thanks for sending it!
It reads: In Loving Memory of Ann Ellen beloved wife of Ellis Owen born in Carnarvon, Wales who departed this life at Pilgrim's Rest Nov 1st 1897 aged 36 years. (Also their infant daughter).
If you have a connection to this family please feel free to contact me. I haven't posted the photo because it's tagged with a different name than the person who sent it.
The photograph intrigued me and so I did a little bit of research, and found that the England & Wales, National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations),1861-1941, shows that Ann Ellen Owen, wife of Ellis Owen had a will that was probated in 1898 and that Ellis Owen was a miner.
Pelgrimsrus (Pilgrim's Rest) where Ann and Ellis lived is in Mpumalanga, South Africa and was a gold rush town. The cemetery where Ann is buried started during that time. I can't begin to imagine what kind of life people like Ann and others had, moving to remote areas of the world in search of a dream. These days if we want to move around the world, we can look up just about any where we want to go on the internet, but I think it took much more courage to follow a dream as Ann and Ellis did.

Bowing to mounting pressure from Marinwood and Tamalpais Valley residents, Marin County supervisors Tuesday withdrew the two communities from regional "priority development areas" that pave the way for affordable housing.
The move came on a unanimous vote and at the urging of district supervisors Susan Adams and Kate Sears, after the county's development chief assured officials the move would have little effect other than limiting the amount of regional transportation money available for the two areas.
The action does not change zoning that continues to allow housing development including low-income projects, and has no impact on plans for 82 units proposed at Marinwood Plaza.
Supervisor Susan Adams, facing recall petitions circulated by angry constituents, made a lengthy statement in which she noted that housing plans were in line with countywide planning policy; indicated that confusion and misinformation, as well as community newcomers, had roles in propelling contention; and said a host of issues must be resolved before any development proceeds.
"We are focusing growth on areas that are already asphalted, plumbed and wired," she noted, saying targeting urban areas for development prevents sprawl. "Whether you like it or not, property owners have some rights," she said, adding that that doesn't mean development projects will materialize or, when approved, even get built.
"But because of the level of concern," Adams urged removal of Marinwood from the priority zone.
Supervisor Sears in turn called Tam Valley a "particularly challenged community" because of problems including traffic congestion, and that while scrapping the priority development designation may mean fewer funding opportunities, "Tam Valley ... has really thought about these issues."
But withdrawing from the development area "doesn't solve the existing traffic problem, and to do that we need money," she noted. "It's important to take time and think through the tradeoffs," as residents have done, she added. "There's very good reason to remove Tam Valley from the PDA."
Strawberry residents urged supervisors to remove their community as well, but the matter was not listed on the agenda, and Sears, urging constituents to "think about the big picture," said officials are looking at the potential of improving the Strawberry interchange "wye" on Tiburon Boulevard. She noted that county housing policies covering zoning will be debated in two months and added there is plenty of time for a community conversation to refine what is appropriate.
Community Development Agency chief Brian Crawford said withdrawing the Tamalpais-Almonte, Manzanita and Marinwood neighborhood areas from the zone along Highway 101 that county supervisors embraced in 2007 does not pose a problem, although transportation funding for the communities would be limited.
"What exactly would change?" Supervisor Katie Rice asked. Crawford, noting the funding issue, said that residents "may have a good summer block party to celebrate."
Many in the crowd had appeared at a county Planning Commission meeting on housing policies the day before, and 28 rose to speak, reciting familiar arguments.
Strawberry residents demanded their area be withdrawn from the priority development area as well, saying the community faced some of the same issues troubling those in Tam Valley and Marinwood.
"What we're here to say is Marin's character is not for sale," said attorney Riley Hurd, representing a coalition of Strawberry residents. "Please take Strawberry off the list as well," he said. "We need to start over." Almost half the speakers were Strawberry residents who agreed with him, but the board could not act on the request because Supervisor Sears had not put it on the agenda.
Others lashed out at the housing program as well. "We must say no to PDAs, no to Plan Bay Area, and get the hell out of ABAG," declared Clayton Smith of Tamalpais Valley.
But housing advocate Dave Coury had a contrary view, contending that "the truth is the first casualty of war" and indicating supervisors were flip-flopping under fire.
"You know the truth," Coury told the county board. "The staff knows the truth. You keep asking for new versions of the truth," he observed. "That's not fair."

Cleveland native Kerri Morris was recently announced "America's Best Cake Decorator" by Cake Show of The Baking Channel.
"I grew up watching and helping my grandmother Jean Mosley bake. Back then my favorite thing to do was lick the bowl. After I had my own children, I used what Mamaw taught me and started baking their birthday cakes," said Morris.
Morris now owns Somethin' Sweet Bakery in Bellville, Texas.
The contestants for the finals of the show were chosen from a group of semifinalists from around the country.
Morris competed against three other Houston bakers in the categories of "Best Tiered Cake," "Best Sheet Cake," "Best Cupcake," and "Best Overall."
Morris created a circus-themed tiered cake for the first category. The cake consisted of a tall box of popcorn with a hotdog placed in top. The popcorn was created from miniature marshmallows and then airbrushed to look like popcorn.
Morris said she was a little hesitant in the creation of the hot dog.
"I was a little nervous making the hotdog. I'm pretty good about seeing a design in my head so I was pretty confident I could pull it off.
"Only having one hour to complete the design I knew I wouldn't have much time to carve.
"Using the loaf pan let me achieve the shape I needed, without much carving," said Morris.
Despite covering new ground with creating the hot dog, Morris believes the most challenging technique she used was when she made the popcorn.
"Luckily we were able to prepare a few things ahead of time so I was able to make most of it beforehand.
"I used mini marshmallows and a star tool to make the shape, hand painted the 'kernal' on several pieces, then airbrushed the 'butter' on top to look more realistic.
"I have a tutorial on YouTube that shows exactly how it was done.
"Even the camera guys were impressed with the popcorn," said Morris.
From that cake, Morris continued with her circus theme for the next category, a quarter sheet cake in 45 minutes.
Morris carved a big top circus tent from a square sheet cake, then added what she cut off the sides as the second layer for the top of the tent.
While on the show, Morris said, "It'll give it a little more dimension and a little more flow."
All of Morris' creations during the competition were full of color.
"By far my favorite part of decorating is the designing.
"I love the challenge of figuring out how to make the internal structure and how to make it come to life.
"I love to work with color. It's a real challenge for me to create a white wedding cake," said Morris.
Her love of color was shown when her finished sheet cake consisted of a red and white big top circus tent, a banner, a small lion and money inside the tent, and an elephant and clown peeking out from behind.
"Circus is a fun theme, there's so much you can do with it," said Morris while on the show.
From the characters surrounding the big top circus tent, Morris created her cupcakes in the next category.
With only 15 minutes given to decorate, Morris went into the round believing it would not be difficult.
"The cupcake challenge is going to be easy. It'll take five minutes. It's cupcakes, how long could it take," Morris said while on the show.
After the time was up, Morris realized it was a bit more challenging than she thought.
Morris said, after the finals were over, "The most difficult part of the competition was definitely the Cupcake challenge.
"I don't make cupcakes- so deciding on a design I was comfortable with was the hardest part.
"We had 15 minutes to complete four cupcakes, and yes, I ran out of time and did not get the nose on my lion!"
Morris' four cupcakes were a lion, clown, elephant and monkey.
Morris won every category in the semifinals and then every category in the finals, winning cash prizes, a spread in Bake Magazine, and the title of "America's Best Cake Decorator."
"I was so excited when I found out I had won!
"The cash is good but having the title of America's Best Cake Decorator is an awesome feeling!
"I'm excited for the spread in the magazine as well," said Morris.
While Morris grew up learning from her grandmother and licking the mixing bowl, her children will be able to have those same experiences, even more special because they get to learn from America's Best Cake Decorator.

Comments about McDavid Waist Trimmer:
i use the trimmer for my stomach. it works perfect for me. I wear it while doing house work and I've lost an inch off my stomach. IT stays in place and is very comfortable. It's actually helped me with my back. that's been an added bonus. Another great feature is the Velcro being centered in the middle. It makes it very comfortable.

Comments about McDavid Waist Trimmer:
I love this waist trimmer. I had another Velcro one and it was OK but this brand is awesome. I was going to try the zipper one but I read other reviews where people complained about running out of zippers to make it smaller so I decided against that. Also, lots of people @ my gym recommend this brand :)

Saturday night dilemma of what to do? How about catching 3 shows at different locations on the same night in Seattle like myself?
Lets' start in the U-District at the Neptune Theatre with comedian & impressions of celebrities specialist Craig Gass. He has 2 shows this night at 7 and 9:30pm. I'll be covering the 7pm show. What's really cool is Gass is giving a portion of his ticket sales to local comedian Dylan Avila who was attacked onstage by a crazed comedian not allowed to perform that night so he took a baseball bat to Dylan's head resulting in a fractured skull. (See KOMO News story) Dylan is actually going to try to open up Craig's show too only a week after his attack. Buy Tickets Now. Craig Gass is supporting his latest CD/DVD release "The Worst Comedy Show Ever" (Buy Now). So as soon as Craig Gass is done I'm heading down to my 2nd comedy show of the night at the Showbox, Steel Panther! If you don't know who Steel Panther is yet, their Wiki page states it perfect: "is an American glam metal band from Los Angeles, California, mostly known for their profane and humorous lyrics as well as their exaggerated on-stage personae that parody the stereotypical lifestyle in the 1980s". If you recently saw them open for Judas Priest in the Tacoma Dome last November you'll remember them forever and if you had your kids there, you were probably covering their ears at the same time too ha! Catch Steel Panther on Jimmy Kimmel tonight on...that should be interesting 18+ TV ha! To buy tickets to their 21 & over Showbox show this Saturday CLICK HERE. Standing room only left to buy so hurry!
So by the time Steel Panther is done I'm jumping back in the Jeep and heading down the road to Slims Last Chance Saloon where our local old-school metal heads Zero Down are playing their "No Limits To The Evil" CD (on Italy's Minotauro Records) release show. With their stage time set around 11:30 I have a chance to catch some of the show and yes CD's will be available to buy for you all! The band were on KISW's Loud & Local this past Sunday. Hear the hour long podcast with new songs. I recently had the awesome opportunity to shoot the main CD shot of the band to correlate with the amazing cover artwork by the legendary metal artist Ed Repka (Megadeth/ Vic Rattlehead). Guitarist Lenny Burnett had an idea for it to be in a corn field, but once I saw the final album cover and watched the "Children of the Corn" movie (for a little inspiration) the shot and treatment instantly came to mind. I wanted it to be bad ass like the band was in the corn field as it was beginning to burn. Even though we had more fun than evil out in the field, I'm just glad we got out of there alive. Watch this video for a good laugh at our "No Limit To The Evil" band shot at Bob's Corn Field in Snohomish.
So who's joining me for all 3 shows Saturday night? Ha! "Iron" Mike Savoia

Show: Foo Fighters - Showbox Market - Seattle 11.28.14 Review/ iPhone5 photo/video: "Iron" Mike Savoia
You won't see this very often or ever again in Seattle! Foo Fighters playing the Showbox Market!
"Sonic Highways" is latest release from the Foo Fighters. As part of an HBO television series, "Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways", the band recorded eight songs for the album, one in each of these cities: Austin, Chicago, Los Angeles, Nashville, New Orleans, New York, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. in which they documented in each city their recording process and the town's music history for the TV show. In Seattle, it was done at Robert Lang Studio's in which Dave has worked on many of the earlier Foo Fighter songs there. Before the concert the audience was treated to the screening of the band's latest "Seattle" episode of Sonic Highways. What an amazing piece it was and truly showed how the Seattle music scene since the 60s has influenced the world with musical greats like no other city in the USA! After the premier the Foo Fighters jumped onstage and cranked an entertaining 32-song, 3 hour show! Yes you read that right, 3 hour show! Check out this setlist: Winnebago / The Feast and the Famine / Learn to Fly / White Limo / Arlandria / Rope / The Pretender / My Hero / Hey, Johnny Park! / Monkey Wrench / Congregation / Walk / Cold Day in the Sun / In the Clear / I'll Stick Around / Big Me / Something From Nothing / These Days / Wattershed / For All the Cows / Miss You (The Rolling Stones cover) / Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love (Van Halen cover) / Breakdown (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers cover) / Stiff Competition (Cheap Trick cover - Dave on drums, Taylor on lead vocals) / Subterranean (Live Debut, Requested onstage by Producer Butch Vig) / Under Pressure (Queen & David Bowie cover) / All My Life / This Is a Call / Weenie Beenie / Best of You / Exhausted / Everlong
I didn't receive a photo pass so I had to do everything on my iPhone. He's some of my video coverage for those of you not lucky enough to be there. My feet were killing me standing there for 5 hours, but I'm not complaining too much, thanks to buddy Rob I scored the greatest Black Friday deal of them all (free) in the Showbox with the Foo Fighters. Love when big named artist play small clubs. Remember 2 months ago when Tom Morello & Chris Cornell played El Corazon (see video) in Seattle too? Now that was awesome! Seattle, their musicians and the music scene rules!

Flashback May 18, 1986 in the Tacoma Dome. Me a young 19 year old metal head there to witness Judas Priest with Dokken opening. Not in a million years would I have guessed I'd be back there in 2014 to see them in concert again.The Metal Gods still to this day deliver the goods.
Celebrating their current 17th album release "Redeemer of Souls" (the band's first top 10 charting album in the US ever landing at #6 on Billboard) is a perfect mix of Judas Priest over the years. The classic rock sound of the early 70s meeting the molten metal machine they've became from the 80s till now. In their 16 song set, a fourth of the set was new songs including the show crushing opener of "Dragonaut". The remaining third of the set included many of the Priest classics we've grown to love, but I was a little bummed no "Electric Eye", "Screaming For Vengeance", "Green Manalishi" or "Freewheel Burning" in the set. With 40 years of music to choose from I can't be too picky cause look at the final awesome setlist: Dragonaut / Metal Gods / Devil's Child / Victim of Changes / Halls of Valhalla / Love Bites / March of the Damned / Turbo Lover / Redeemer of Souls / Beyond the Realms of Death / Jawbreaker / Breaking the Law / Encore: Hell Bent for Leather / You've Got Another Thing Comin' / Encore 2: Living After Midnight (Joined onstage by Steel Panther) / Defenders of the Faith. Pretty bad ass setlist still!
Highlight for me goes to the Metal God himself Rob Halford. How in the hell at 63 years old is this guy still amazingly singing some of these songs? "Beyond The Realms of Death" was beautifully mind-boggling perfect. Definitely one the greatest singers ever in any music style. (Check out KISW's Men's Room audio interview 11/20/14 with Rob - Click Here)
When original guitarist KK Downing left the band in 2011 and was replaced by Richie Faulkner, it was like a energy infusion to the Priest lifeline. His crazy good guitar skills and energy onstage was an undeniable catalyst with Judas Priest continuing on touring and recording new albums when they originally announced they were done after touring in 2011/2012. It was super bad ass to see Richie come out and play his custom D'haitre' Stealth V! A guitar company based right here in Washington State by former Zakk Wylde guitar tech Andy Beech. His energy and style just fuels the fire of the guitar master himself Glenn Tipton. These two twin guitars rip as good as the old days with KK.
The Tacoma Dome nearly lost their mind as soon as they heard the roar of the Harley motorcycle coming onstage for the encore. We all know what that meant. The classic "Hell Bent For Leather" was here to fill our ears. Definitely one of the Top 5 favorites of all-time with fans in the Priest catalog. The Metal Gods live on and this show proved there's no stopping Judas Priest, the defenders of our faith...METAL! Thanks to YouTube channel Raphaefeli for the live videos! To view my full set of Judas Priest live photos click here.
Opening the show was Steel Panther, the 80s Sunset Strip butt-rock parody act with heavy over the top XXX overtones. They might look like they are stuck in 1984, but these guys play like rock masters and lead singer Michael Starr has the voice 100% of those 80s rock acts wish they still had. Well David Lee Roth at least, ha!
A definite crowd favorite to those there that knew them and a complete shocker to those that had no clue who the band was. I'm sure parents there with their kids plugged their ears and blindfolded their eyes, especially when the crowd of girls were invited on stage to strut their stuff on the last two songs of the night. Opening their set with the awesome "Pussywhipped" (off their new album "All You Can Eat") sent the crowd into fist pumping, head banging, hair metal frenzy. Their hour long setlist was a non-stop barrage of classics in the Steel Panther catalog: Pussywhipped / Party Like Tomorrow Is the End of the World / Asian Hooker / Just Like Tiger Woods / Community Property / Eyes of a Panther / 17 Girls in a Row / Gloryhole / Party All Day (F**k All Night) / Death to All but Metal. One thing most people don't know is Steel Panther guitar wiz Satchel (aka Russ Parrish) use to be Rob Halford's guitar player in his band Fight in the early 90s!
Steel Panther are back to Seattle January 17th at the Showbox Market. Buy tickets here! My biggest personal highlight tonight (besides Michael Starr trying to pull me up on stage numerous times from the photo pit - thanks Mocha Charlie for photo below of one of those moments) was with Steel Panther.
We've done many end-of-show shots over the past years, but to actually be on stage looking out to the thousands in attendance like so many musicians I've seen there for the past 30 years was a moment I'll never forget!! To view my full set of Steel Panther live photos click here.
King Diamond/Jess & The Ancient Ones Moore Theatre - Seattle, WA 10.28.14 Review/Photos/Video: "Iron" Mike Savoia King Diamond photos - Jess & The Ancient Ones photos
As I stood in the photo pit looking around at the other 8-10 photographers ready to shoot King Diamond, I couldn't help but think how much time has flown, but still seems like yesterday. As the elder photographer in the pit on this night, I pondered back to August 8, 1986 where I stood in this exact same place in the Moore Theatre photoing King Diamond. Who was his opener back then you ask? None other than a little known upcoming metal band at the time...Megadeth! 28 years ago I was a 19yo Kodak film camera carrying kid with a true metal heart to capture the times of what I still think were the greatest times in rock/metal music. All these years later it still beats stronger than ever. Here's one from the photos from that show.
Before King Diamond went solo his Danish band from Copenhagen, Mercyful Fate (broke up in 1985), ruled the first wave of Black Metal from Europe onto the world. After scaring kids and parents alike worldwide with their evil overtones and album covers, these 3 records all these decades later still hold their own as to some of the greatest in their genre: Mercyful Fate (1982 EP - also known as "Nuns Have No Fun"), Melissa (1983) & Don't Break the Oath (1984). King wasn't done because his first 3 solo albums Fatal Portrait (1986), Abigail (1987), Them (1988) were instant classics to follow the Mercyful Fate legacy with their horror story themes which instantly fitted perfect into his live concert schemes. Main subject on his "Them" album (King's insane grandmother) still lives in his shows to this day.
Probably the greatest falsetto singer in rock/metal history, I was wondering how his voice could possibly be anywhere near as good as it was years ago. Tonight he blew me away! After a 2010 open-heart triple-bypass surgery he quit smoking and that combo has given him his voice, lungs and energy back. 58 freakin years old and he killed it!!! Watch "Tea" from the show video below...are you kidding me!? He nailed it! He hasn't sounded this good in years! The King is back!!
The production of the show was awesome! Probably the best stage setup I've ever seen in the Moore Theatre for any rock/metal concert. Hailing on is horror meets evil visuals, the stage was draped in various visuals like his logo, lots of black, castle walls and the best one...his cover to the upcoming "Dreams of Horror" the "best of" album. Covering the band's entire career. King and Andy LaRocque mastered and enhanced 23 songs into what they call the ultimate editions for fans and chosen from both the Roadrunner and Metal Blade catalogs. More info & order here.
With a setlist covering decades of his work (including Mercyful Fate), any fan of King Diamond over the years would have enjoyed this setlist: The Candle / Sleepless Nights / Welcome Home / Never Ending Hill / Let It Be Done / The Puppet Master / At the Graves/ Tea / Digging Graves / A Visit from the Dead / Evil (Mercyful Fate cover) / Come to the Sabbath (Mercyful Fate cover) / Shapes of Black / Eye of the Witch / Encore: Cremation / Encore 2: The Family Ghost / Black Horsemen.
From the video above you'll see and hear how pumped the sold-out crowd was. During the Mercyful Fate tunes "Evil" and "Come to the Sabbath" it was hair raising with the crowd singing aloud. With the rumors of a possible Mercyful Fate reunion in the near future I can't imagine what that show will be like from the response of fans during this shows Mercyful Fate tunes. Some of the greatest metal riffs ever! Listen how incredible these sound!
Check out a recent interview with King Diamond in Rolling Stone here.
Before I end I do have to talk a little on the opening act called Jess & The Ancient Ones. One word...WOW! Haven't enjoyed an opening act like that in a while. Jess & The Ancient Ones are a Finnish psychedelic occult rock band that's headed by the hauntingly awesome vocals of Jess. She is the modern day Grace Slick (Jefferson Airplane) vocally and onstage with her near hypnotic state.
Check out their new video for "Astral Sabbat".
If Jess wasn't enough her band was off the hook!!! The chemistry was just so fresh from a 70s-like rock perspective. Nothing flashy, just pure rock music magic to the ears and a female fronted singer that mesmerized me. How about a 12 minute journey called "Sulfur Giants" to make ya go buy their music on iTunes or order CD/LP online.
If you're a fan of Ghost and their music, you'll die for this amazing stuff that's very similar, but much more monstrous in structure and musical efforts. Thank you Jess & The Ancient Ones for proving to us rock music is not dead! Get back to America soon! Thanks King Diamond for personally picking them for this U.S. tour. They are gonna win over a TON of new fans!

Alright Rockoholics it's time to get your metal gear on and hit the Moore Theatre this week for King Diamond (Tuesday) and In This Moment (Thursday).
The lead singer of Mercyful Fate - King Diamond is currently on his first solo tour of America since his 2010 triple-bypass heart surgery in which he came out of the procedure healthy enough to make a full recovery over these past years. As a vocalist, he is known for his extensive multi-octave falsetto vocal range. Lyrically one of the best storytellers of Horror, Satan and Grandma stories you'll ever here and theatrically put into the show. This North American tour will be bearing witness to the band's full European festival stage show! Yes the full stage gated one! This show has been SOLD-OUT for a awhile so unless you find some tickets on Ebay you're outta luck.
Opening the King Diamond show the cool Finnish mainstream occult rock from Jess & the Ancient Ones.

Amon Amarth/Sabaton/Skeletonwitch - El Corazon - Seattle, WA 09.30.14
Swedish music artists have been influencing America and many others around the world for years. Obviously the most popular of those that come to my mind include Abba, Yngwie Malmsteen, Europe, The Hives, etc. but what Sweden is best known for is the heavier to melodic side of rock/heavy metal that you might of never known comes from Sweden. Ghost, Meshuggah, In Flames, Opeth, Arch Enemy, Bathory, At The Gates, Candlemass, Avatar, The Cardigans, etc. In that list you definitely have to include the Viking Kings of Amon Amarth and the War-torn battle stories from Sabaton. Both bands have been raging around for years and finally America is catching on. Of the two, Amon Amarth has been around the longest, since 1992, Sabaton since 1999. It wasn't until 2008 when Amon Amarth's "Twilight of the Thunder God" album reached number 50 in the US Billboard charts and ended up #7 in Revolver Magazine's Top 20 Albums for that year. Then last year they really hit it with an ever bigger Heavy Metal audience in America unaware of them with a main stage spot on the 2013 Rockstar Mayhem Tour opening for Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch and Mastodon. Not only did they take the opportunity and run with it they blew everyone away with a stage show that included a Viking ship with huge dragon mast and drums atop on deck, something I can recall never seeing in my 30+ years of attending concerts. The medieval stages and dragon Dio had back in the late 80s could compare though. Here's a couple of my shots from last years Rockstar Mayhem showing their Nordic Viking ship awesomeness.
Now last night at the sold-out El Corazon it was a little different situation with a stage 1/3rd the size from the Mayhem tour and a roof only 12ft above their heads. For how much I loved their huge stage show last year, last night blew my doors off with no dramatic stage props (the way you know it's a great band) just the music and small club feel. It was packed sardines in there! Hard to believe just a couple days ago I saw Chris Cornell (Soundgarden) and Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine) on that same stage playing together (see video).
Amon Amarth, brutal yet melodic death metal that adds some Viking Nordic folk and singable choruses that stick in your head probably like how a sword through your head in a medieval battle was...permanent. Opening with the title track of their latest album "Deceiver of the Gods", Amon Amarth rolled through a near hour and half, 17 song set of music like a soundtrack to a great Thor or mythological movie.
Deceiver of the Gods/Runes to My Memory/Death in Fire/Free Will Sacrifice/As Loke Falls/We Shall Destroy/For Victory or Death/Varyags of Miklagaard/The Fate of Norns/Father of the Wolf/Guardians of Asgaard/Warriors of the North/Destroyer of the Universe/Cry of the Black Birds/War of the Gods/ Encore: Twilight of the Thunder God/The Pursuit of Vikings. Check out the amazing movie music video (over a million views) for my favorite Amon Amarth song off the new album "Father of the Wolf".
True underground metal that might not be for everyone, but let me tell ya, singer Joakim Brodén & his mates are one hell of a band and their fans (including many girls in attendance) of the same Swedish/Nordic heritage there believed Amon Amarth were Gods in their own right. A piece of their Viking heritage from Sweden live in the flesh! Great experience seeing it in a small club. Amon Amarth haven't been around for 20 years for nothing. Check out their new album on Metal Blade Records "Deceiver of the Gods" for a good punch in the gut!
Opening the show was Skeletonwitch from Athens, Ohio. Evil thrash death metal that was actually enjoyable and the pit was raging for their whole set. Great grooving bass lines and dual guitars that sooth and puncture the ear drums at the same time. Check out their single "Burned From Bone" from their new album "Serpents Unleashed" on Prosthetic Records. Love the band groove!
Now on to Sabaton. Featuring lyrical themes based on war and historical battles, singer Joakim Brodén is fantastic live and always connected one with the crowd with his good humor (see my video below...still laughing on the YMCA thing) between songs interacting and seriously seemingly enjoying all his time on stage.
As you can hear in the live video and music video for "To Hell And Back" below Sabaton are a great melodic power metal band with that European kinda happy folk underlining tone. New CD "Heroes" on Nuclear Blast Records is out now. Overall it was a great show from start to finish and seriously enjoyed every minute of it. I'll be posting some various concert photos from the bands at this show in the next days at www.Facebook.com/SavoiaPhotographyLive so go LIKE and wait and see ;)
