Watch Taylor Swift Attacked During Her Grammy Performance [VIDEO]
Taylor Swift's performance during the Grammy's had a lot of hair being tossed around.
You can check out the video of the attack which explains the hair being tossed here.
Taylor Swift's performance during the Grammy's had a lot of hair being tossed around.
You can check out the video of the attack which explains the hair being tossed here.
Remember at last year's Golden Globes when Tina Fey and Amy Poehler warned Taylor Swift to stay away from Michael J. Fox's son? And Taylor responded by telling Vanity Fair, "You know, Katie Couric is one of my favorite people. Because she said to me she had heard a quote that she loved, that said, 'There's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women'"?
Well, it appears that time does not heal all wounds.
Leave it to the hilarious and wonderful Jennifer Lawrence to win Instagram before the 2014 Golden Globes even started!
Ever since she purchased her oceanside mansion in Rhode Island last spring, Taylor Swift has had a rocky relationship with her new neighbors. Let's just say that it's gotten a bit rockier recently, and it's all over the repair of a sea wall situated below her $17 million Watch Hill property.
Your favorite celebs and pop stars celebrated both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and shared images from their festivities with families and friends via Instagram and Twitter.
Apparently, onesies were a thing this Christmas and shots of food remain ever-popular
It's Throwback Tuesday (Dec. 24) for Taylor Swift. The singer shared a vintage video of herself from Christmas 1993, when she was just four years of age. Boy was she cute!
This is the true meaning of Christmas.
Over the weekend, Taylor Swift and thousands of Christmas carolers helped to grant the final wishes of 8-year-old Laney Brown, a young girl who is dying of cancer.
"As soon as (an album) comes out I'm figuring out what the next one will be," Taylor Swift gushed to Billboard. "It's gotten to the point where each one is a reinvention, which is what I like best. I like it when it sounds new and people don't know where you're going to go next."
She may not reveal where she's going, but one thing Swift did spill: She's bringing company with her.
Victoria's Secret model Jessica Hart may not believe that Taylor Swift fit in with the rest of the models at the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show -- but she's the only one. Because T-Swift effing rocked it.
When thinking of Victoria's Secret, pop-punk band Fall Out Boy may not be the first thing to come to mind. But after an impressive performance at the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which aired tonight, Dec. 10, maybe they should be paired together more often.
Taylor Swift looked like a princess in a gold and white gown that she wore to the Winter Whites charity gala, an event which benefits homeless youth, at Kensington Palace across the pond in the U.K. (Nov. 26).

Select Local Merchants
Coeur d'Alene CellarsRead MoreIf one word had to describe Coeur d'Alene Cellars' attitude toward winemaking, it would probably be "meticulous." During each stage of creation, from vineyard selection and harvest to bottling, winemakers carefully supervise and adjust conditions to suit their visions. They hand-harvest fruit from their eastern Washington vineyards only on days that fit specific temperature conditions. Between pickings, the vines are pruned for low yields that concentrate flavor and quality. And their syrah and viognier grapes are both hand-sorted the night of harvest before they're pressed and fermented. That process is carefully controlled as well. Syrah blends first ferment in open-top vessels, allowing for closer management of color and tannins. Only later do they age inside French and American oak barrels, like former daredevils bent on reliving their trip over Niagara Falls. Viognier blends, on the other hand, spend both fermentation and aging periods in small oak barrels. The resulting well-balanced wines can claim myriad accolades from publications such as Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast. Their 2004 Sarah's cuvée viognier, for instance, earned 89 points from Wine Enthusiast, which praised its "good balance" of "peach, apricot, sour lemon candy and even a bit of cinnamon." Current vintages include the 2007 Alder Ridge Vineyard syrah, whose smooth body supports flavors of berries, vanilla, and cinnamon that conclude in a lingering finish. These and other wines are poured at Coeur d'Alene's onsite wine bar, Barrel Room No. 6. Inside, sleek red walls help create an upscale vibe. Glasses perch beneath pendant lighting on the bar or glitter on top of old wine barrels repurposed as tables. As customers sip, knowledgeable wait staff can suggest ways to bring out the wines' subtle flavors by nibbling aromatic cheese pairings or the hem of a neighbor's freshly laundered shirt.3890 N Schreiber WayCoeur D'Alene, ID US
Smitten Clothing BoutiqueRead More"We had a customer, a good friend, who lost 100 pounds." Laura Heikkila beams as she tells the story. "She promised herself as soon as she got to that goal weight, she'd get a whole new wardrobe from the boutique as a reward," Laura says. "When she came in, we could see how excited she was. It was awesome." When Laura says "we," she's referring to her co-owner and best friend, Melissa Valdovinos. It was their mutual love of fashion that started the Smitten Clothing Boutique ball rolling. "We'd travel to California and go shopping, and our friends would be jealous," Laura explains. "So we were rollerblading and talking one day. We decided right there to bring some of Los Angeles here." Within the week, Laura and Melissa signed a lease on a place, but there was still one important thing left to do. "I was looking for a name, something catchy and one word. And then, I thought of smitten. It means, 'to be in love with something.'" Smitten owes some of its success and foot traffic to its attachment to The Coeur d'Alene Resort, which boasts numerous awards including a spot on Travel + Leisure's list of 500 World's Best Hotels in 2009 and a five-star resort rating from Golf Digest. The other key to their success is their loyal clientele. "My mom shops here, and she's 72. But it's really all the regulars, stopping in weekly for the new styles." Laura's referring to the items she ships in from LA, including pieces from Rock Revival, Billabong, and LA Idol, a popular brand which often sells out within a week. During winter months, the duo helms shopping parties, such as Women Who Wine, and hosts fashion shows that benefit local charities. The two love helping people, both on and off the clock. "Taking someone who has no idea what to wear and helping them find their fashion, it's amazing. But the main thing is that Melissa and I love each other. And we have a lot of fun."210 E Sherman AveCoeur D Alene, ID US

The Grille From IpanemaRead MoreGrille from Ipanema, which takes its name from a beach along Rio de Janeiro's picturesque coastline, also draws inspiration from the Brazilian churrasco experience. This type of dining stems from the gaucho tradition of gathering around a fire pit and roasting skewers of meat over the flames. The eatery?s chefs re-create this experience by searing skewers of more than 18 different meats?including top sirloin, pork shoulder, and bacon-wrapped chicken?over a mesquite-filled grill. They then hand the large meat skewers off to servers, who drift throughout the dining room looking for green tokens, which signal that the diner requires more meat. After they?re called tableside, the servers carve the meat into individually sized portions with their industrial-strength laser pointers. By flipping their coasters from green to yellow, guests tell servers to temporarily stop the never-ending meat deliveries, buying themselves time to visit the salad bar and load plates with hot and cold side dishes. Natural light floods in through the walls of windows, illuminating the dining room's blond-wood finishes and draped fabrics. The Pacific Northwest Inlander praised the restaurant's scenic vantage point in 2011, saying, "you won?t get a view of the Rio de Janeiro beachfront but you will get an eyeful of still-impressive Lake Coeur d?Alene."601 Front St, Ste 101Coeur D'Alene, ID US

Michael D's EateryRead MoreWhen most little boys were hoping to unwrap G.I. Joes or dirt bikes on Christmas morning, Michael DePasquale had his fingers crossed for a Suzy Homemaker oven. From this iconoclastic start, Michael advanced from his toy oven to a job as a dishwasher, then prep cook, then lead cook—and then honed his developing skills at the Culinary Institute of America in New York. In his spare time, he adopted a loyal pet rhode island red chicken and taught it to chase frisbees. After graduating, he honed his craft as head and executive chef at several different restaurants before launching his own eatery. Fifteen years later, Michael is still cracking eggs and sizzling sausage for the breakfast dishes his eatery serves all day long. Omelets—which convert to scramblers upon request—can be packed with fresh jalapeños, bacon, and sour cream. For sweeter creations, he slathers honey butter onto pancakes, as well as custard-style sourdough french toast. At midday, hand-pressed burgers enter the lists and don cloaks of spicy habanero or barbecue sauce. Diners can lounge on an outdoor patio on summery afternoons, and on colder evenings, they can savor chicken marsala and roasted tri-tip steak amid the dining room's wood-paneled walls.203 Coeur d'Alene Lake Dr.Coeur d'Alene, ID US

Barcelona are sweating on the fitness of star man Lionel Messi after he limped out of their 2-2 draw with Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final. Messi opened the scoring in the 38th minute but spent the final moments of the first half standing motionless by the touchline and was replaced at the interval by Cesc Fabregas. The Argentina international will undergo a scan on a suspected hamstring injury in his right leg on Wednesday with the return meeting against PSG already on the horizon on April 10. Defender Javier Mascherano is certain to miss the second leg after he was forced off in the closing stages at the Parc des Princes, with assistant coach Jordi Roura confirming the former Liverpool man is facing several weeks out. Roura said: "I think it was a typical quarter-final and a good result but we deserved better. It comes at a price because we have lost Messi as well as Mascherano, who will be out for four to six weeks." Messi's o...

About Geoffrey Doig-Marx
Geoffrey Doig-Marx (GDM) –Visual Artist
Left home at age 15 where he lived in runaway shelters and group homes in the Albany area. In the mid 1980s he moved to New York City and started his career in dance, musical theatre and choreography.
In December of 2011 he married the love of his life and returned to living in Harlem. It was at this time that he started painting, photographing, writing and hasn't looked back since.
Now with over 300 paintings and thousands of photographs, Geoffrey is everywhere. His paintings currently hang as his 4th solo show at Posh in NYC. Strolling on the Upper East Side? You can view his paintings based on Stylist's Davide-Torchio's styling at the Davide-Torchio Salon 69th St and 954 Lexington Avenue
Lunching Downtown? Stroll into the village and see his photography at The Leatherman on Christopher Street.
His first photography show "Bound Voyeuristic Dreams" opened in NYC December 5, 2012 and ran for 8 weeks and was featured in Next Magazine. GDM's second show "A Splash of Color/The Paintings of GDM" opened April 18, 2013 and ran for four months, while his third photo exhibit "Bad Boys" just finished a six-month run.

Artists Statement
The paintings started at the same time as my first photographs did a year ago. I couldn't stop and the work just poured out of me. Painting to me is a solitary art form. It's my moment to "let go" and let my brain do its thing. Sometimes I plan and sometimes I just start a painting, but I feel that I am never done until my brain feels aligned. Around you are some of my inner thoughts, my inner laughs and my inner desires. Most of my paintings are of people and faces. They are images of my friends, family and that random stranger on the bus. They reflect my life and my loves. They are me.

Global agreements in the mechanical engineering sector
PECA - Protocol to the Europe Agreements on Conformity Assessment and Acceptance of Industrial Products
The Europe Agreements are the basic accords governing bilateral relations between the European Communities and their Member States and a candidate country. Normally a candidate country to EU membership should approximate its legislation, including industrial standards and conformity assessment procedures, to that of the European Union.
The Directorate General for Trade is the Commission service responsible for the negotiation of PECAs, although almost all of the sectors concerned fall within the competence of the DG Enterprise & Industry.
ACAA - Agreements on Conformity Assessment and Acceptance
The Commission is engaged with some countries in preparatory work for so called Agreements on Conformity Assessment and Acceptance of Industrial Products (ACAAs), including electrical products, whereby the partner countries are adapting their legislation, standards and institutions to the EU acquis.
Non-Agricultural Market Access (NAMA)
The Commission is also active in the negotiations of the mechanical chapter of the Non-Agricultural Market Access Negotiations (NAMA) in the WTO context.
International Harmonisation under the United Nation Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE)
Under the United Nation Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), specific issues related to Mechanical Equipment are currently discussed:
- The Working Party on Regulatory Cooperation and Standardization Policies (WP.6) deals with a proposal on International legal requirements for explosion protection, as well as with Earth-moving machinery.
- The World Forum for Harmonisation of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) addresses global issues regarding vehicle safety, environmental pollution and energy. In this competence it developed a globally harmonised test procedure for the emissions of non-road machinery engines.
Industrial Policy and Regulatory Cooperation Dialogues
You could find here more information about the Industrial Policy and Regulatory Cooperation Dialogues, in particular:
- with China, with the report of the working group on Mechanical and Electrical Products,
- and with Russia, with a sectoral subgroup on Machinery and Electrical equipment.


text: On Saturday I took The Boy to a competition of various clubs of kids his age. His club was there, too, but not competing. I was there as chauffeur, but also as moral support. The competition was held in a high school gym. We sat on the bleachers. Actual exchange: TB: I wonder if Madison will be here...DD: Who?(TB walks away.)I spotted him shortly thereafter, sitting next to The Blonde Girl.I'd been ditched. Not even so much as a "see ya, Dad."The Blonde Girl has entered our world.

While Lugoff-Elgin stays at home, the Camden and North Central wrestling teams will put on their traveling shoes for Saturday's South Carolina High School League state wrestling championship tournament.
Having seen teammate Robert Gardner carried off the mat with what turned out to be a severe neck injury at the Carolina Invitational on Jan. 19, Camden Middle School wrestlers Sylvester (S.J.) Lucas and Clinton (C.J.) Jones had no other choice than to go out and win the event for their injured teammate.
There was nothing else she could do or say, other than suiting up herself to try and help even things out.
On what turned out to be D.J. Wilson's welcome to the big-time party, Lower Richland stole the cake and then ate it, too.
For at least this night, the bitterness of a Camden versus Lugoff-Elgin contest took a back seat to the big picture.
What better way to kick off the New Year than with having a couple winners come out of your barn.
Bernie Dalton had the best seat in the house when it came to being there for Pierrot Lunaire's unlikely run to the 2012 Eclipse Award for steeplechase horse.
Seeing as how visiting Westwood suited up just seven players for Tuesday's game with Camden, it can be surmised that the Lady Bulldogs' plan of attack was to get the guests into foul trouble and, run them until their tongues were hanging down to the floor.
Rather than subject his team to the confines of the gym for practice on a sunny Sunday afternoon, Camden High basketball coach Ron McKie took his squad to the school's adjoining athletic complex to work out in the great outdoors.
In the days leading up to last year's Carolina Invitational wrestling tournament, Lugoff-Elgin Middle School head coach Ted Monroe downplayed his team's chances at winning the statewide event.
Steeplechase horses in the Carolinas whose owners and trainers have an eye cast on the early season openers now have a place to give their horses a final go 'round prior to the races which count.
It's getting harder and harder to pick and choose your sports heroes these days.
In those old-time Westerns, the Calvary always waited until the end of the movie to come in and save those in distress.
Switching out five new players at a time, Eau Claire wanted to wear down North Central. And, as the minutes started to dwindle, so did the Lady Knights' energy.
Had it been a game of craps, Lugoff-Elgin would have rolled snake eyes.
Page 39 of 85
Turning what was to have been a doubleheader of baseball into, basically, one single game, Kershaw County Post 17 cemented its second-place finish in League III by sweeping Wednesday's pair of games with visiting Manning-Santee.
On the night before his team was to leave to play in the first round of last weekend's Palmetto Invitational tournament along the Grand Strand, Kershaw County American Legion head coach Will Dorton expressed reservations about playing four games in less than 48 hours so close to the end of the League III season and with the state playoffs on the horizon.
At first, it started out with his signing autographs and posing for pictures with youngsters attending last week's annual Vonnie Holliday Football Camp in Camden.
As he made his way onto the track at Springdale Race Course for a photo shoot in late winter 2012, Dale Thiel was asked how he was doing.
This was the unkindest cut of all.
Standing on the stage at Lugoff-Elgin High School as a participant in the 1995 Mr. L-E Pageant, Monte Lee was asked by the moderator of the competition where he saw himself in 10 years.

Drink between: 1984 - 1998 (Add My Dates)
1,249 Tasting Notes
Wine with Friends (Chevalier Fine Wines - Chicago IL): Popped and poured. This was old and tired on the nose to start, with more redeeming savory mushroom character on the palate, but nothing to seek out at this stage in its life.
Lots of pandan leaves and floral scents. Tea and sharp black cherry notes with little touches of tobacco and oak. Past it's glory days and faded away like a dying old man , slowly but softly drifting to a deep slumber.
Birthday dinner for Alex, William and Gina 2014 (Cove99, Peck Seah Street, Singapore): This really belied its bad reputation, being from a rain-soaked vintage and all - I thought it was quite beautiful on the night. The bottle looked in pretty good shape. Popped and poured, the wine still retained a dark brownish colour with a bricking rim in the glass. It had an intriguing nose, with sweet maraschino cherries and some brown sugar notes garlanded with rose petals, orchids, maybe a touch of jasmine - a really floral, perfumed bouquet, with just the tiniest hint of funky earth and a little lift of cinamon spice running behind. A great nose. The palate still had a beautiful, feminine Lafite feel to it. Again though, there were those unusual red fruited notes, with fresh cherries and raspberries, and then more rose petals, all laced with silky tannins and fresh acidity. The midpalate had a distinct coconut water and pandan leaf tawng to it, flavours which were especially clear just before the fresh, gentle finish set in with the littlest pinpricks of mineral and spice amidst the panda leaf and red fruit accents. Clearly past its prime, bit I found this very enjoyable, if just a little puzzling with its unusual flavour profile. It started sliding after an hour or so, but remained a really enjoyable wine all the way up to that point.
Very very light in the glass, almost see through. nose of minerals, flowers. Still tannic in the mouth. Short finish. Past its prime.
A lesson in Sauternes by Jürg Richter (Restaurant Farnsburg, Switzerland): As bad as this wine's reputation is, we trusted the sommelier's recommendation and went with a half bottle of this one and we were rewarded.
Red berries, graphite, some apples, very long and surprisingly elegant. Good choice!

1998 GMC 1500 Pickup Q&A
1998 GMC 1500 Pickup Question: My "Service engine soon" warning light appeared?
The service tech scanned it, said it was the transmission due to a possible slip? He checked the transmission, it was ok and he cleared the code. Now for some reason, it wont pass California smog test and he says its because of the previous transmission warning light that he cleared. He said to drive it 50 miles, bring it back and it should clear smog? IT WON'T, why? - wyoboy84
2 Answers
Answer 1
problem has nothing to do with transmission. it is a prob. with exhaust system, more specifically your cat. conv. if your cat.s fail, than you fail smog test. it is possible that your cat.s are done and no way to save them, however there are other things that contribute to failing emissions. your fuel system could be clogged and due for a clean. ethanol treatment to 1 tank of premium. ethanol in fuel causes build in fuel system, combustion chambers, exhaust system and also causes increased wear to spark plugs. a clean fuel system will allow for cleaner burn and reduced emissions. a strong ignition system will allow for cleaner burn. perform tune up and upgrade spark plugs to premium type. examine ignition cables. if u need to replace them, rec. performance grade type such as accel's. this will allow more conductivity to the spark plugs giving stronger spark and a better burn. this will reduce emissions. using premium type oils(synthetics) for engine will help also. recommend using oil stabilizer with next oil change. this will recondition seals, cylinders, and reduce oil consumption. all engines consume some of the oil supply. consumed oil has to go somewhere(out the exhaust). rec. treatment every 3rd oil change. strong, clean air flow will allow engine to breath properly. engine breaths easier, it burns cleaner. rec. upgrade from conv. air filter to high air flow design such as K&N. these are all things you can do for yourself(save money on shop labour). above all, bring ride in to a shop and have a diagnostic run to find any other issues you should be aware of. good luck. - arturo08

Product description
The Challenge of Islam to Christians is David Pawson's most important - and most controversial - prophetic message to date. Moral decline and erosion of a sense of ultimate truth has created a spiritual vacuum in the United Kingdom. David Pawson believes Islam is far better equipped than the Church to move into that gap and it will not be long before it becomes the country's dominant religion. Based on the audio and video recordings on which he first announced his message, this book unpacks and explains the background behind Pawson's claims, and - crucially - sets out a positive blueprint for the Church's response. Christians must rediscover and demonstrate to society the three qualities that make Christianity unique: Reality, Relationship and Righteousness.

Home Dartford News Article
Tracey Trusler, of Wilmington Academy, spoke out about the pupil premium after centre-left thinktank Demos claimed the coalition's flagship policy was struggling to close the gap in educational achievements between the rich and poor.
The pupil premium was introduced in 2011, and involves the government committing extra money for children from poorer backgrounds in a bid to raise their educational achievements.
Figures show that the divide between the performance of GCSE pupils getting free school meals (FSM) and those whose parents can afford to pay for school food is increasing in Kent.
The county has the 20th largest gap out of the country's 152 education areas.
While 67.3% of non-FSM children achieved five A* to C grades including maths and English, only 32.8% of FSM children did in 2012-2013.
But Wilmington Academy's statistics show 63% of pupil premium students achieved the government benchmark of five A* to C grades – higher than the national average – and Ms Trusler claimed that was partly due to the funding.
"The pupil premium has been a very good thing for us at Wilmington because it has given us the resources that we possibly wouldn't have otherwise to support our disadvantaged students," she said.
"We've been able to improve our services team which looks after the welfare of our students, we have holiday revision and Saturday school and reading and intervention programmes.
"This has all been funded by the pupil premium."
Five years ago Wilmington Academy – formerly called Wilmington Enterprise College – was third from bottom in the league tables, with only 11% of students achieving five A* to C GCSEs.
One problem highlighted was a low reading age, but Ms Trusler claimed government funding had helped that to improve.
"There's been a massive impact over the last 12 months and we've seen a big shift in reading ages."

The network said April 24 that the trivia-based game show, "The Million Second Quiz," will air live in prime time from a specially built studio in the heart of Manhattan. The hourglass-shaped complex will also serve as the living quarters of the four finalists.
When the 12 days -- or 1 million seconds -- draw to a close, the winner could claim a cash prize of as much as $10 million.
Viewers will be able to play along in real time and sync to the prime-time broadcast.
The network didn't announce a premiere date.
