Calling the federal agents surrounding his fortified compound "guns for hire," a New Hampshire man convicted of tax evasion vowed today that he and his wife would fight U.S. marshals to the death if they tried to capture them.
"Do not under any circumstances make any attempt on this land. We will not accept any tomfoolery by any criminal element, be it federal, state or local," said Ed Brown in a press conference from the stoop of his concrete-clad home in Plainfield, N.H. "We either walk out of here free or we die."
Brown and his wife, Elaine, were sentenced in absentia in April to serve 63 months in prison for failing to pay more than $1 million in income tax.
The couple, however, insists that there is no law that requires citizens to pay income tax.
"There is no law. We looked and looked," Brown told the press.
Brown and his supporters, including Randy Weaver, leader of the 1992 standoff with ATF agents at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, told the press that the government has unlawfully tricked people into believing they have to pay income tax, knowing full well that such a law would be unconstitutional.
"We will defend it to the death. This is 1776 all over again. You cannot tax someone's labor because that is slavery," Brown said.
Carrying a pistol in his waistband, Brown also insisted that he could not receive a fair trial in a federal court because "the court system falls under freemasonry."
"There [are] no longer any lawful courts. The Freemasons have taken over our nation. … [Freemasons want] to take over our nation and all nations on the planet," Brown said.
Weaver, whose son was killed by federal agents and who later received a $100,000 settlement from the government, said he was there to support the Browns.
"I'd rather die on my feet right here than die on my knees under this de facto government," he said. "Bring it on."
Despite months of surveillance and reports of agents hiding in the woods of the couple's 110-acre compound, U.S. marshals said this morning that the Brown's Plainfield, N.H., home was not surrounded by their officers.
U.S. Marshal Stephen Monier made an effort to starkly contrast the actions of the Marshals with those of the ATF agents who besieged Ruby Ridge in 1992. In addition to Weaver's son, one federal agent was killed in that incident.
"There is no standoff and the house is not surrounded." Monier told ABC News.com. "We have no intention of assaulting the house or engaging in a violent confrontation."
Monier said he believed Weaver would attend the press conference the Browns are hosting this afternoon. He said Weaver and others -- some of whom are believed to have brought the couple weapons -- have been freely allowed to enter Brown's property.
"There is no reason to block Weaver. People are free to exercise their First Amendment rights," Monier said. "We are not setting up roadblocks or surrounding the house."
In April, Ed and Elaine Brown were sentenced in absentia to 63 months in prison for failing to pay more than $1 million in taxes.
Since failing to appear in court the couple has remained within the concrete-fortified walls of their rural New Hampshire home.
Monier said the Marshals have been communicating with the couple in an effort to get them to turn themselves over the federal authorities without having to resort to the use of force.
"We know they have weapons and we do not want to see this escalate," he said.

Vacuum Cleaner Belts
Did you know that proper maintenance can extend the life of your vacuum cleaner? One of the most basic maintenance items is belt maintenance. It is crucial part in your cleaning system that connects your motor to the brush roll. To check this, you need to remove the bottom plate and place a finger under the best to feel if it is taut. If you find that it's not, and it is showing signs of wear, it is time to replace it. While it is recommended you change vacuum belts once or twice a year, the frequency will actually depend on how often you use your vacuum cleaner. Frequent use makes it prone to cracks, sagging and other forms of damage. The motor is unable to turn a belt that does not have good traction on the brush roll. As a result, your vacuum does not clean up to its potential.
Looking for belts for your vacuum cleaning system? At GoVacuum, we recommend customers reduce the risk for vacuum repairs in the long-term by regularly checking the internal parts including belt, bag and hose regularly. While our advice represents general care and maintenance, we also stock a wide range of vacuum cleaner accessories including belts for a wide range of cleaners and ensure that your vacuum cleaner performs according to your needs!

Originally written on MyTeamRivals.com | Last updated 12/1/12
The answer to the question in the title seemed a little more obvious if this was posed last offseason. Justin Upton was considered one of MLB's few "five tool" players being he could hit for average, power, steal bases, play solid defense and blessed with a strong throwing arm. Dexter Fowler, on the other hand, was a player the Colorado Rockies liked, but to that point, he had not established himself as a big time player. In addition, the thought of Upton being on the trade market was unfathomable, as it was thought that the Arizona Diamondbacks were building their team around their young star. This was also a team coming into its own, winning the NL West division in 2011. But, Upton did not match the power he had shown in the previous season, and despite having a respectable season, the Diamondbacks have made it known they have interest in trading him. Of course, lately GM Kevin Towers and Owner Ken Kendrick have stated they intend to keep him. Is it a ploy? Are the ...

Democrats had their own issues, but so far, they have remained largely submerged as Republicans struggle.
Reps. Peter DeFazio of Oregon and Jim McDermott of Washington, both veteran liberals, announced their opposition to a provision that Obama is backing to slow the growth of cost-of-living benefits for Social Security and other benefit programs.
At the White House, Obama repeated that he is ready to agree to spending cuts that may cause distress among some fellow Democrats, but he saved his sharpest words for Republicans.
"Goodness, if this past week has done anything, it should just give us some perspective," he said in a reference to the shootings of school children in Connecticut.
Yet even as he implored Republicans to "take the deal," he made it clear he's open to more bargaining.
Asked whether he might be flexible on the level at which tax rates should rise, he said he wasn't going to bargain in public. He also addressed the issue of politics.
Speaking of Republicans, he said, "It is very hard for them to say yes to me. But at some point, they've got to take me out of it."
He added, "I'm often reminded when I speak to the Republican leadership that the majority of their caucus' membership come from districts that I lost. And so sometimes they may not see an incentive in cooperating with me, in part because they're more concerned about challenges from a tea party candidate, or challenges from the right, and cooperating with me may make them vulnerable."
Nor did Boehner slam the door on further compromises in his brief appearance before reporters. "Republicans continue to work toward avoiding the fiscal cliff," he said.
In the talks to date, Obama is now seeking $1.2 trillion in higher tax revenue, down from the $1.6 trillion he initially sought. He also has softened his demand for higher tax rates on household incomes so they would apply to incomes over $400,000 instead of the $250,000 he cited during his successful campaign for a new term.
He also has offered more than $800 billion in spending cuts over a decade, half of it from Medicare and Medicaid, $200 million farm and other benefit programs, $100 billion from defense and $100 billion from a broad swath of government accounts ranging from parks to transportation and education.
In a key concession to Republicans, the president also has agreed to slow the rise in cost-of-living-increases in Social Security and other benefit programs, at a savings estimated at about $130 billion over a decade.
By contrast, Boehner's most recent offer allowed for $1 trillion in higher taxes over a decade, with higher rates for annual incomes over $1 million. He's also seeking about $1.3 trillion in spending cuts.
The two sides disagree, too, over increases in the government's debt limit, which will soon need to be raised when borrowing reaches the current $16.4 trillion cap.
Also at issue are unemployment benefits, which are scheduled to expire for an estimated 2 million out-of-work Americans at year's end, and the prospect of reduced payments beginning Jan. 1 for doctors who care for Medicare patients.
Associated Press writers Andrew Taylor, Jim Kuhnhenn, Andrew Miga and Alan Fram contributed to this report.

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU head coach Todd Graham returns to his coaching roots Saturday night
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Just days before one of the biggest games of his coaching career, Todd Graham can't help but feel a little nostalgic.
Saturday night, Graham won't just be looking to become the first coach to lead his team to victories over USC and Notre Dame in back-to-back weeks, he'll be looking to make a statement in the state where his career started.
Graham's roots as a coach date back to 1988, when he served as an assistant at Poteet High School in his hometown of Mesquite, Texas for three seasons.
From there, he moved on to Oklahoma, where he spent three seasons as a defensive coordinator at East Central University and one season as the head coach at Carl Albert High School.
But ASU's second-year head coach admitted Monday that his professional maturation didn't really begin until 1995, when he came back to Texas to take over the football program at Allen High School -- located 45 miles away from where his team will play Saturday.
"That's probably the coaching position that I had the most growth," Graham said at his weekly press conference Monday. "I had been a high school coach at Carl Albert High School in Oklahoma City for a year, and then took the job [at Allen]. I was the eleventh person offered the job.
"They hadn't won a 5A game since they joined 5A, I don't know a couple years. I think we had 28 or 32 kids on varsity. When I left, I think we had 287."
Although it didn't appear to be the most desirable stop on his career path, Graham more than made the best of it -- program made five playoff appearances in six years -- and along the way learned what it took to be a successful head coach.
While he's now seven jobs and 13 years removed from his days at Allen, Graham wasn't shy about reminiscing about what that experience meant to his overall career.
"Being there, I developed a relationship with Coach [R.C.] Slocum and the staff there [at Texas A&M], said Graham. "That's how I met Coach [Tim] Cassidy. It was just about learning, getting in a spot where you could really, really learn. It was just incredible.
"I worked for a superintendent that was really dynamic there, Barbara Irwin. She taught me a lot about leadership. It was probably the place where I experienced the most growth."
Dallas, the host city for Saturday night's Shamrock Series with Notre Dame, also holds a special place in Graham's heart.
As a teenager, Graham made a little extra money working Sundays at Texas Stadium.
"I was in high school, and I had to work to make money," Graham said. "So I worked the Dallas Cowboys games. It was called Smith's Security, and you would work in the portholes at the old Texas Stadium. I would work the games. You'd just stand there and be a security guard. That's kind of interesting to go back there.
"The other thing I did in [high school], I worked for Mercury Painting. I painted the structural steel in the top that went into the columns that they tore down."
Odd jobs aside, ASU's non-conference clash with Notre Dame isn't just another game for Graham.
Saturday's nationally-televised contest against a program 10 months removed from the BCS title game is about more than strengthening the brand and impressing potential recruits.
For the man who built his coaching resume by winning meaningful games in the Lone Star State, it's about paying homage to his past.

Today we were at a picnic for our local Ds group. We played on the playground for quite a while because Evan loves it. Today he climbed up to the tallest slide, scooted on his butt up to the edge of the slide and slid down all by himself! Before today someone would have to help him get into position or he would just slide down head first. Mommy was so proud. On top of that, everyone who hadn't seen Evan for a while commented that he isn't a baby anymore and has become a big boy!
Went down a slide all by himself!

In November, the Senate voted on and passed anti-filibuster laws that make it easier for Federal judges to be appointed. The Senate also changed its rule on cloture, which lowered the requirement for confirming a judicial nominee to a simple majority from a 60-vote supermajority.
In fact, these actions allowed the Senate to confirm Patricia Millett and Nina Pillard to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Had they required the supermajority, neither of these women would have been appointed despite their excellent qualifications. The Senate was also able to confirm Robert Wilkins, an African American judge, to the D.C. District Court.
While this is a gain, there are a plethora of other options that senators can use to prevent the president from nominating judges that don't require a filibuster. In fact, the general consensus is that some of these tactics are much more dangerous than filibusters which often receive national press and attention. The options left for senators are more quiet and don't gain national attention. According to Women's eNews:
Some refuse to attend hearings. Others refuse to cooperate with the president in nominating judges from their state. Or senators from the state of residence of a federal judicial nominee refuse to turn in blue slips containing their opinions of the nominee, thereby preventing nominees from receiving a hearing at all. White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler declared the blue-slip rule for judges more problematic than the filibuster, in part because it is a silent, unaccountable veto.
This is a considerable problem. The federal district and appellate courts are facing an unprecedented number of vacancies. 93 positions remain unfilled, and those vacancies considered judicial emergencies has risen 100 percent since 2008. This means that the American people living in jurisdictions where there are judicial emergencies are not able to have their cases ruled on in a timely fashion. To give you an idea of some of the issues that aren't being heard, federal judges rule on issues impacting health care, immigration, marriage equality and the environment among many others.
Fortunately, President Obama has nominated women to federal judiciary positions more than any other previous president, and at twice the rate of former President George W. Bush. With more women and racial minorities in the judiciary system, the U.S. will start to have a more diverse court system that is reflective of the people living in this country. Unfortunately, however, the Senate is stalling on appointing many of those nominees. Women make up only 30 percent of federal judges, and it is time for that to change.
Here's what you can do to help the process along. First, sign the petition below telling the Senate to stop stalling and to approve these diverse judges to the courts. Second, tell your senators to return blue slips and give the president names of judges. We must do all we can to stop this judicial emergency!

It's time to fire all who can't understand their jobs in this republic. We need adults not spoiled children and I'm talking about BOTH parties.
Yes and every opposition has had to work with the President. THIS congress refuses rto do so.
They will NOT let the economy recover (except for the rich who have done amazingly well) until Obama is gone. The right has decdied liberal thought should simply not be allowed.
Retire the position, in which we the people will be poorly represented anyway given the minimal requirements that must be met.
Dangerous to leave the position vacant until a "suitable" candidate can be found guaranteed to rule favorably on issues near and dear to those who set them in place.
Actually Paul its CONGRESS that has made their NUMBER ONE GOAL since he has been elected to be a one term president to shit him down., But you go ahead and delude yourself into thinking Obama is the problem. Your Obama hate is well known and by now ignored.
Congress will do NOTHING to help Obama do anything period. Every bill he presented they tried to attach tax cuts for the wealthy to. Every bill they themselves presented had the same thing. There has been virtually NO NONE NADA attempt by this congress to ever compromise with Obama. They have held him in contempt from tthe very day he was elected. All the things that congress has done to neuter the President have been documented fully on this site over and over for the last 5 years. You can rewrite history if you wish .but half of the shit is on video tape. The Right in Congress has wanted from day one for Obama to be a failed presidency. They have made absolutely NO bones about it.
Retire the position, in which we the people will be poorly represented anyway given the minimal requirements that must be met.
Dangerous to leave the position vacant until a "suitable" candidate can be found guaranteed to rule favorably on issues near and dear to those who set them in place.
Congress cannot accomplish much of anything until Obama really sits down to tries to work with them or the USA gets a new president.
Robert, I will believe what you say if and when Obama actually takes the time to negotiate, debate and discuss the issues HE wants to get passed. so far all I have seen is a MY way or the Highway attitude. that is NOT leadership, that is dictating policy, whining when you don't get YOUR way.
Every president has had to "work with" the opposition, Reagan had 8 years of Dem control of Congress and still managed to get a lot accomplished. Obama can't seem to be bothered with governing. All he knows is "this is what I want, now I will find a way to get it, regardless of what I have to do to get it." Sounding much like a spoiled child... which in many ways he has been treated that way his whole adult life, coddled and pushed way beyond his capability... so what should we have expected?
Obama doesnt WANT to rule by fiat
he is being FORCED to because the right will not compromise on ANYTHING!!!! They wont even vote for shit they have ALWAYS voted for
and when they get a Republican in the whitehouse they will vote favorably on those items once again. You are simply overcome with Obama Hate. I dont hate him or love him.
Very few liberals think he is the annointed one ..that is a name the right loves to use.
Sharon, have you even considered the fact that these representatives in Congress were hired to represent their constituents and that is what their constituents want as they oppose much of the legislation this administration is proposing and enacting through EO.
You can't tell me that Dems didn't do the same thing during Rep presidencies, or were you just oblivious to that fact since they were upholding YOUR beliefs.
Our system of government was designed to create a compromising through debate and discussion that no one in DC wants to do anymore. There has been so much finger pointing, and accusations of all kinds that defenses are up at their highest. You cant' work with people who are unwilling to have a discussion.
Obama wants to rule by fiat, and ANY opposition is viewed as obstruction, but no more obstruction that any president has had, he is just unwilling to get in the trenches and debate the ideas.. he prefers backroom discussion with his party about how they can "
get around" the opposition, never how can we can SELL our ideas to the public, because MOST of his ideas are denounced by the public, but they wnat them anyway, so they find ways around the system.
And yo wonder why Reps are not seen as cooperative... they have rarely ever been asked to be dealt with fairly by Dems, only as obstacles... that is NOT how you lead or govern in our system, and as a result you get very little accomplished. You would think by now Obama would have learned that les

On this brand new episode of the Project Spurs-News 4 WOAI Spurs Roundtable, Paul Garcia and I discuss whether the San Antonio Spurs' record (27-9) is fool's gold. They are beating the teams they should but don't have a great record versus some of the best teams in the NBA. We also discuss whether Tim Duncan should be in the mix when it comes to the NBA MVP or the team MVP. Paul says it is tough with Tony Parker playing at a high level. All that and much more including Nando De Colo going back and forth to Austin with the Toros on this episode of the Spurs Roundtable.

Formed: 1998
From: Helsingborg, Sweden
Last Known Status: Active
Evergrey is a progressive metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden. The band was founded in 1995 and released its debut album The Dark Discovery in 1998. Evergrey's lyrics have always been of the darker sort, and the same can be said of the band's imagery. While The Dark Discovery dealt with a variety of ideas, many later albums have been concept albums, dealing with issues like self-reformation (Recreation Day), paranoia, alien abduction (In Search of Truth), child abuse, cults and religion (The Inner Circle).

Below is our complete Evergrey news coverage, including columns and articles pertaining to the band. Some articles listed may be indirectly related, such as side projects of the band members, etc.

Mind Key Readies Sophomore Album
Frontiers Records has announced the return of the Italian prog metal band MIND KEY with the release of the band's second studio album entitled "Pulse for a Graveheart" on July 3rd in Europe, August 11th in the USA with a Japanese release to follow on King Records.
The band began the recording of the second album "Pulse for a Graveheart," simplifying their songwriting and giving the chance to Fierro to showcase his immense vocal potential which can be described as a powerful mix of Ronnie James Dio, David Coverdale and Jorn Lande. The album was later mixed and mastered by none other than Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69, Angra, Krokus, Place Vendome etc.) to ensure the best sounding quality. According to guitarist Emanuele Colella "We knew from the beginning that Dennis was the right choice! Since the first communication together a perfect synergy was built. He could understand our need and desire to combine a modern melodic metal sound with our progressive roots and an heavier edge. He could totally deliver what we and the music needed, he's just great."
"Pulse for a Graveheart" also features some guest musicians appearing such as Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Alice Cooper), who plays a keyboard solo on "Citizen of Greed", Reb Beach (Whitesnake, Winger) on "Now Until Forever" and Tom Englund from Evergrey, dueting with Elio Fierro on "Graveheart." Mind Key's line-up now includes: Aurelio Fierro on vocals, Emanuele Colella on guitars, Dario De Cicco on keyboards and Andrea Stipa on drums.
"Pulse for a Graveheart" introduces to the fans a completely re-designed band, with a mature attitude and astonishing songwriting. "I hope the new record will give Mind Key the chance to get rid of the label of 'prog metal band in the style of....' and bring us to a different status. We aim to be a Metal band - still staying true to our diverse influences ranging from progressive to hard and melodic rock – but with a personal and trademark sound" concludes Andrea Stipa.
The final tracklisting includes: "Sunset Highway," "The Seventh Seal," "Citizen of Greed," "Crusted Memories," "Dead Fame Hunter," "Ventotene (The Island)" "Graveheart," "Eye Of A Stranger," "Now Until Forever," and "A New Generation."
Evergrey Cancels 2009 European Tour Dates
Evergrey has issued the following announcement about canceling all but two of their upcoming European tour dates:
"This month is getting embarrassing, for us and the people who we work with. We are sorry to announce, that for circumstances and reasons beyond our control, we are forced to cancel the scheduled Evergrey European tour in April.
"We would like to apologize to all the fans of both bands for the last minute decision and promise to work on getting new dates set up as soon as possible. Its always hard to let people down and both bands were extremely excited to play for all of their fans in Europe but sometimes things apparently don't go as planned. Which makes us in the band really frustrated and mad.
"I hope all of you understand that we are a band nothing more. This is what we live off and for, to play and tour, therefore we can promise that we are more sorry than anyone. This might not ease the disappointment for some of you but as said it's out of our control and involves so much details that none of you would be wiser of knowing.
"As with the canceled date in Atlanta we promise to make up for it as soon as we can and get a chance. More...
Evergrey Postpones Atlanta Show
Evergrey will be unable to perform their scheduled show in Atlanta, Georgia on March 12th as a result of a delay with the immigration paperwork. A message from the band reads as follows:
"We are so fucking sorry for not being able to play, but the rules of USA's immigration prevents us from doing so. Normally this has never been a problem as the paperwork has always been swift enough, but now, for some reason we have yet to be approved.
"Even more frustrating (if possible) is that we will be there, in Atlanta, but not be able to perform. We have all our shit with us and everything as we are also going to Mexico BUT WE CAN'T PLAY. We are so terribly sorry for this, as we are not and have never been a band that cancels, anything. However this is out of our hands... we are looking to make this up by returning in May to perform for you guys and also try to fit some more gigs in there. More...

Evergrey Signs With SPV Records
This press release has been posted on EVERGREY's official website:
Following intense and very constructive discussions, Steamhammer/SPV have announced their future collaboration with Swedish dark melodic metal act, EVERGREY. The deal includes not only the group's brand-new studio album, "Torn", which will arrive at the stores at the beginning of September, but also EVERGREY's complete back catalogue. EVERGREY mastermind Tom S. Englund is looking forward to a productive cooperation with Steamhammer, explaining: "After long and intense negotiations, we feel that we have arrived at optimum conditions for everybody involved. We are confident that EVERGREY will continue to grow artistically under the terms of this contract, that SPV will enjoy our cooperation and – this is definitely the most important aspect - that our fans will thoroughly benefit from the new deal."
The first stage of this ambitious target will see the release of EVERGREY's new studio album, "Torn", at the beginning of September, featuring eleven compositions, described by Englund as a "modern mix of In Search Of Truth and Recreation Day". "The tracks are all guitar-oriented and very atmospheric. They have exactly the sound that our fans expect from us." According to Englund, the slightly more experimental direction of EVERGREY's previous release, "Monday Morning Apocalypse", has given way again to old strengths and virtues. "Two years ago we needed an album with a slightly different approach and an expensive producer, just to find out how that sort of thing works. It was the right album at the time, but now we have returned to our typical trademarks." This is one of the reasons why the tracks on "Torn" were self-produced by Englund together with drummer Jonas Ekdahl. In addition, the band has a new bassist, Fredrik Larsson having been replaced by former STRATOVARIUS musician Jari Kainulainen.
Since the band arrived on the scene in 1998, EVERGREY have brought out six studio albums and one live cut. All of them made the top 20 in their native Sweden and the last two made the top 10 (no. 6 and 3, respectively). On top of that, their DVD was number 1 for four weeks and nominated for a Grammy in Sweden. The band has toured around the globe several times, together with IN FLAMES, NEVERMORE, THROWDOWN, ARCH ENEMY, CHILDREN OF BODOM and ICED EARTH, among others. Along with "Torn", their new contract with Steamhammer/SPV includes the band's complete back catalogue, so top-quality reissues featuring a selection of bonus tracks are likely in future. "There is so much additional material for each album that we could theoretically re-release it on an extra DVD. Whatever we manage to do - premium reissues are certainly a possibility."
Evergrey Close To Signing With A New Label
EVERGREY's singer/guitarist Tom S. Englund has posted the following update:
"Hey Guys…
Just a few words to let you know that we had a great time in Finland, the shows were really awesome and the finnish fans R O C K!
We knew that already but it was nice to see that what we remembered from prior shows were really true.
We are almost done with our label-negotiations and think we will be able to present a release date within 2 weeks, and just to clarify, we have lot's of history with different labels that we needed to clear up before signing a new deal with anyone. This has taken so much longer than anticipated, I mean we have been sending contacts back and forth since last JUNE, so of course this has been really frustrating for us as musicians, but at the same time we've been forced to be really business-minded. BUT… as I said we are now down to one label and hope to tell you which one really soon.
During the month of April we decided to sign all of the stuff bought in our webstore and dedicate it to the person who's on the order-form (that is if you want us to of course, we wouldnt want to fuck your CDs up). So if you don't want them signed, or if it is for another name, write that in the order .
Also we made some really cool shirts for the shows in Finland , we have a couple of them left so be sure to check that out: www.evergrey.net/merch.php
Monday or Tuesday we will hand you the 2nd "TORN" trailer so you know where and when to check!
Til' next time ….."

The Project Hate Complete 7 Songs For New Album
THE PROJECT HATE — the Swedish band featuring vocalist Jörgen Sandström (ex-ENTOMBED, GRAVE), guitarist Lord K. Philipson (GOD AMONG INSECTS, ex-LEUKEMIA), bassist Michael Håkansson (ENGEL, ex-EVERGREY), guitarist Petter S. Freed (2 TON PREDATOR), singer Jo Enckell (IGNORANCE BLISS) and drummer Daniel "Mojjo" Moilanen (RELEVANT FEW, DRACENA, RUNEMAGICK, LORD BELIAL, ENGEL) — has issued the following update:
"All the seven songs [for the new THE PROJECT HATE album] are now finished. Seven songs of the music you love when it comes to the HATE. It's time to complete the lyrics now, something that will definitely take some time. During the coming months (or more thruthfully; until we actually record the album) we will enhance the material as we go along, making everything even better, more infernal and all-around even more utterly dominating. We dig to work like that, you know."
"All vocal parts have been decided and both Jo and J are hard at work with what they will deliver next time. We have even contacted some of the planned guest musicians that we want on the next masterpiece. Some of them being childhood heroes actually. Maybe..."
THE PROJECT HATE's last album, "In Hora Mortis Nostræ", was released in September 2007 via Stormvox Records, the label owned by Swedish actor Peter Stormare.
Evergrey Reveal New Album Title
EVERGREY singer/guitarist Tom S. Englund has issued the following update:
"After a couple of turbulent weeks we have now finally mastered our album. When we listened to the finished product for the first time we all agreed that we were beyond satisfied with the result and can't wait for you to hear it! We have also decided to post video teasers for you to enjoy, there will be a new 'trailer' every month up until we release the damn thing and oh, the title for it is TORN!"
"Complete tracklisting will be presented here as soon as we have decided what songs will end up on special editions and/or bonus tracks for singles etc. Other than that I am glad to read that all of you seem to love our new Evergrey 'EY' logo. It will look pretty cool on a shirt that's for sure." More...
ProgPower UK Cancelled
This year's ProgPower UK, which was scheduled for March 28-29 in Bristol, England, has been cancelled. The following message has been posted on wwwww.progpoweruk.com:
"This is the hardest decision we have ever had to make, but it is with great regret that we have had to cancel ProgPower UK III.
"We have made no secret of the financial difficulties that have dogged our first two years, which is why we made a significant number of changes for year three. However, ticket sales have been extremely poor and, as a result, there is no way we can stage the festival without losing a substantial amount of money – again.
"This decision has not been taken lightly and we are fully aware of both the disappointment and inconvenience it will cause. However, we simply cannot afford to keep pumping money into ProgPower UK and we can assure you that we are as disappointed about this as you no doubt are.
"As a result of this, ProgPower UK LLP will cease trading with immediate effect.
"Ticket holders who purchased tickets via cheque or Paypal through the ProgPowerUK website will be refunded by the method through which the tickets were purchased. This will be done within twenty-eight days.
"If you purchased tickets at Bristol Ticket Shop, please contact them directly for a refund.
"Please direct any enquiries to firstname.lastname@example.com All enquiries will be dealt with, but please be patient.
"We would like to sincerely thank everyone who has supported us over the past three years, and also thank Rene Janssen and his team giving us the opportunity to make ProgPower UK a reality.
"The ProgPower UK Team"
The following bands were scheduled to perform at ProgPower UK:
Circus Maximus

SARA NETANYAHU meets with four-year-old Ofek Castillo311.
(photo credit:Avi Ohayon/GPO)
Under cross-examination in the Haifa District Labor Court on Monday, Sara
Netanyahu's former housekeeper Lillian Peretz said the prime minister's wife had
"high standards" and had required her to work long hours including on
Saturdays.Peretz, who filed the lawsuit against the prime minister's
wife two years ago, has claimed Netanyahu refused to pay her various social
benefits required under law, paid her less than minimum wage, and made her work
long hours including on Saturdays, even though Peretz is
Shabbat-observant.Netanyahu has denied the allegations, and says they
are slander. In response to Peretz's lawsuit, the prime minister's wife has
filed a counter-suit, demanding that Peretz pay her NIS 600,000 compensation for
defamation, invasion of privacy and breach of confidentiality.During the
cross-examination by Netanyahu's lawyer David Shomron on Monday, Peretz said she
had worked on Saturdays.The former housekeeper said the Netanyahus would
come to the house in Caesarea every Saturday but on two occasions they decided
not to come and instead had asked her to pack food for them to be driven to
Jerusalem.Peretz said that she loved Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu
and his children and broke Shabbat for them."I worked every Saturday,
including on those Saturdays that [the Netanyahus] decided to stay until
Sunday," she said.Shomron asked Peretz whether she was in fact asked to
work on Saturday evenings after sunset, after Shabbat had ended, and only for
around an hour and a half to package up food for the next day.In
response, Peretz said there was only one Saturday that she told Netanyahu she
could not work, because she had a conflict with her husband and could not leave
her children that day.Netanyahu's former housekeeper said the prime
minister's wife had "high standards" that were hard to meet."Nobody
could meet her standards," Peretz said."When she was on holiday and I
was in the supermarket, they would tell me to come and meet people who were
supposed to come to the house, like technicians, I had to change my clothes all
the time."Peretz added that there were frequently building contractors
in the house and that she was "always busy wrapping stuff in
plastic."The former housekeeper also told the court that Netanyahu asked
her to cook at her own house."When I don't cook at her house, the
Picasso doesn't smell the frying, but at my house my Baba Sali smells it,"
Peretz said, presumably referring to and comparing pictures by the famous
Spanish artist Pablo Picasso and of the Moroccan Sephardi rabbi and Kabbala
practitioner, Rabbi Yisrael Abuhatzeira, popularly known as the Baba
Sali.The former housekeeper also said she had to ask the Netanyahus for
permission to go on vacation.When asked why she did not quit her job, if
the conditions were as bad as she claimed, Peretz said that she was pressured
not to leave.Peretz also claimed that the family's lawyer, attorney
Michael Rabello, also convinced her not to leave.Netanyahu's former
chief of staff, Natan Eshel, also testified at Monday's hearing, and said the
Netanyahus had only stayed in Caesarea at most one Saturday per
month.The lawsuit will continue on July 17.

Rotorzen HelicoptersRead MoreRotorzen instills students with the skills and savvy needed to command the open-air cockpit of a powered parachute. Certified instructors nurse knowledge over 60 minutes of pre-flight training, teaching aspiring daredevils how to handle instrumentation and sneak up on cirrus clouds from behind. Students next take to the skies for 30 minutes of turbine-charged cruising as they skim over and sail through the air above the Lansing Municipal Airport. Flight lessons depend upon wind conditions and are offered Friday evenings, Saturday mornings, Saturday evenings, and Sunday mornings. While powered parachutes accommodate only one pilot at a time, individuals can bring along fellow flyers to join in on the acrobatic antics. All flight time can be applied toward FAA sport pilot certification and subsequent opportunities to tickle the moon into sneezing green cheese.6640 South Cicero AvenueBedford Park, IL US
The Children's Museum in Oak LawnRead MoreAfter health, the most important thing parents want for their children is a good education, and that means learning inside the classroom and out. But if learning becomes simply memorizing facts in a textbook, it quickly turns into a chore, leading kids to lives of mindless entertainment and ignoring the last 12 mystery ingredients on junk-food labels. To combat this, The Children?s Museum in Oak Lawn introduces children to the arts, sciences, and industry with a series of engaging exhibits that uphold the standards set by the Illinois State Board of Education. These exhibits occupy every inch of their two-story facility, giving kids hands-on experience with concepts such as cause and effect, gravity, and motion. Painting and dress-up theaters cultivate healthy imaginations, and the infant tummy-time zone allows even the tiniest guests to flex their neck muscles and reach stuffed-animal friends. In addition to daily visitors, The Children?s Museum in Oak Lawn welcomes school field trips and family birthday parties.5100 Museum DrOak Lawn, IL US

Enhance a 4" x 6" headshot of your child-star hamster with an 8" x 10" frame and a standard 2-inch mat ($69?$195), or buff up an artistic masterpiece in a 32" x 40" frame with a 2-inch mat ($278?$613). Heather and Janice?s specialty shadow boxes ($300+) display valuable photographs and mementos in personalized packages that protect them from light exposure and the enchanted curses of their original owners.12723 South Ridgeland AvenuePalos Heights, IL US

Knotted Necklace classes teach the ways of spacing beads between knots of linen to highlight glittering baubles, while Braided Crystal Bracelet classes merge shimmering Swarovski crystals with miniature seed beads to create eye-catching accoutrements.700 West Burlington AvenueLa Grange, IL US

Hawthorne Race CourseRead MoreOn May 20, 1891, an estimated 6,000 people attended the first-ever Opening Day at Hawthorne Race Course. The event featured the Chicago Derby—a quarter-mile race won by a horse named Brookwood. Since that day, the facility has thrilled Chicago-area racing fans season after season with live competition and full-card simulcasting. But it hasn't always been easy. In 1905, for instance, racing was banned in Chicago for more than 15 years after several of the facility's horses became mired in a political scandal. And Hawthorne Race Course itself has had to overcome its fair share of adversity, including two fires, the most recent of which destroyed the grandstand in 1978.3501 S Laramie AveCicero, IL US
