Take note, folks: One Direction's Harry Styles and Taylor Swift will now be known as #Haylor. The two pop superstars were spotted in the Big Apple over the weekend and quickly prompted a new batch of romance rumors as they became the subject of the Twitter trend and hashtag, Haylor.
They were photographed walking through Central Park together on Sunday. They stopped by the zoo, and according to some reports they were spotted chilling with Harry's stylist Lou Teasdale, her fiancé Tom and their baby, Lux. Additionally, some photographers caught the casually dressed pair walking through the park arm-in-arm and smiling by themselves. They also were photographed sharing some snacks on their stroll.
The photos of the rumored couple quickly prompted many an emotional response from fans, who took to Twitter to express their feelings on Haylor. "Y'all going crazy about Haylor when it hasn't even been confirmed," @mljyx wrote. "Maybe they are just dating like getting to know one another?!"
"What Do U Think About Haylor?" @MonicaTeodora17 wrote. "I Think they Will Be Great Together <3 ~Pixie." Other fans noted their speculation about the twosome, "@sun_loves1D I think Haylor is only a friendship! and I hope it is..." While fans like @kea_sarmiento remained even-keeled in their response (she wrote: "Haylor... Being a swiftie and a directioner.. I don't know what to say.. As long as they're happy, I don't really mind"), other fans seemed more outraged by the public date between the pair. @themalikfeels wrote, "If haylor gets confirmed I'm moving to the wanted's fandom I heard there's still space for few more." [article id="1697993"] One Direction take fans "deeper" in their 3-D movie! [/article]
Taylor and Harry first sparked romance rumors this spring after they met at the Kids' Choice Awards in March and the boys later hinted at something during an MTV News interview in April. After what seemed to be a cooling off period, Taylor and Harry then met up again during an "X Factor" taping last month in L.A.
It seems that there might be more opportunities for Haylor photo ops this week as both acts are slated to play Madison Square Garden on Friday for Z-100's Jingle Ball. 1D will play the legendary NYC venue days prior, on Monday night.Will One Direction, The Wanted End Their Feud In NYC?
In other 1D relationship news, Liam Payne sparked his own set of headlines when he was spotted in New York walking hand-in-hand with his ex, Danielle Peazer. The couple ended their two-year relationship back in September, but looked to be very much back on strolling around NYC together. Zayn Malik's GF, Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards, and Louis Tomlinson's girl, Eleanor Calder, are also rumored to be in town for the boys' MSG gig.
And, how do the fans feel about that reunion? @OnexDirectionnn wrote, "Seeing Peazer back together makes me really happy! but then you have Haylor…" @LouissCarrots1D added, "I would much rather talk about Payzer than haylor. IM SOOOO EXCITED THAT THEY ARE BACK ON <3 <3."
The rumored couple also took in the zoo's various sights — including a seal, which left Swift giggling and Styles with a perplexed look on his face.

A former police commander is in county jail in Oakland. The one-time Pinole cop is accused of the financial abuse of an 82-year-old woman.
Matthew Messier, 36, was a commander with the Pinole Police Department when investigators say he used his position of authority to convince the Pleasanton woman to sign over all her assets.
"Property and other assets probably range is estimated about $750,000," Pleasanton Police Sgt. Kurt Schlehuber said.
Schlehuber was one of the investigators in the case that began in July when a social worker with the county's adult protective services noticed some problems with the woman's assets. Schlehuber says Messier's wife, 30-year-old Elizabeth Regalado, was also involved.
"They gained the trust of the victim including an actual trust of the victim's estate where they were named as trustees," Schlehuber said.
The Alameda County districts attorney's complaint lists 14 counts of financial elder abuse that range from grand theft to practicing law without a license. Regalado is being charged with conspiracy.

Mursi decree annulled
President Mohamed Mursi of Egypt has annulled a decree he issued last month expanding his powers.
But an official said in Cairo on Saturday that a referendum on a draft constitution will still go ahead as planned on 15 December.
The decree and the referendum are at the heart of protests in the past two weeks. The decree was issued on 22 November.
Earlier, the opposition called for daily street protests to continue until Mr Mursi acceded to their demands to give up his expanded powers and drop the referendum.
"The will of the people is turning toward a general strike," a statement issued by the National Salvation Front said.
Mr Mursi, 61, has been at loggerheads with the judiciary since taking office in June this year.
His critics have accused him of acting like a dictator, but he says he is safeguarding the revolution and the extra powers were needed to force through reforms.
Critics say the draft constitution was rushed through the constituent assembly without proper consultation and does not do enough to protect political and religious freedoms and the rights of women.
Military statement
Earlier, the military urged all political forces to solve their differences in dialogue.
A spokesman said dialogue is the best and only way to reach consensus. A statement read on state television said the opposite of that would bring Egypt to a dark tunnel, which the military would not allow.

The term "gluten free" has been a growing trend in food and snacks recently. Gluten is basically protein found in foods processed from wheat and some other grains like barley and rye. It's what makes dough elastic, helps it rise while maintaining its shape and sometimes gives the product a chewy texture.
So why the seemingly sudden popularity of gluten-free foods? An intolerance to gluten is the root cause of celiac disease, which affects "[m]ore than 2 million people in the United States… or about 1 in 133 people," according to the National Institutes of Health. An even greater number of people suffer from sensitivity to gluten, which can cause similar but less severe symptoms than celiac disease. The more that scientists and consumers learn about food and how our bodies digest it, the better we can formulate alternatives to mainstream ingredients.
FDA has paid attention the food industry and consumers' call for information on the foods that we eat. Six years ago, they issued a proposed rule on gluten free labeling for food, and just last month, FDA issued a final rule defining the term "gluten free" on food packaging. The threshold for making the gluten free claim is 20 ppm gluten. In the final rule foods or beverages that are inherently gluten free (e.g., water) do not have to add disclaimer language qualifying that it is an inherently gluten free food. Additionally, foods that contain wheat that have been modified to have the gluten removed (e.g., wheat starch) must have an allergy statement that the product contains wheat.
The confectionery industry's number one priority is the health and safety of consumers and we welcome this final rule. Companies not in compliance have until August 2014 to update their packaging. With three million Americans suffering from celiac disease, according to FDA, and some 18 million more having gluten sensitivity, we want everyone to be able to have their candy and eat it, too.
Do you have celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity? What gluten free candies do you enjoy eating that do not impact your health?

(11:20 p.m.) -- Katrina is nearing Louisiana as a Category Five hurricane -- the highest rating on the Saffir-Simpson scale, making this strongest storm of the 2005 Atlantic season. At 10 p.m. CDT, the center of the storm was 170 miles south-southeast of New Orleans. Katrina is expected to strike early on Monday; a mandatory evacuation has been issued in New Orleans, according to CNN.
Katrina has already been blamed for seven deaths in Florida, according to CNN, and forecasters fear worse from this second, stronger landfall. (The storm was originally expected to make a second landfall in Florida, hitting the Panhandle after blowing across the southern part of the state earlier this week as a Category One.)
The National Hurricane Center says this "potentially catastrophic" hurricane's maximum sustained winds are currently 160 miles per hour. Though intensity could fluctuate, the storm is expected to come ashore as either a Category Four or Category Five; only three Category Five hurricanes have hit the United States since record-keeping began (the last being 1992's Hurricane Andrew).
The National Hurricane Center has issued a hurricane warning for the north central Gulf Coast, including New Orleans; a hurricane warning means that hurricane conditions are possible within the next 24 hours. Tropical storm warnings and hurricane watches are in effect from east of the Alabama/Florida border to Destin, Florida, and from west of Morgan City, Louisiana to Intracoastal City, Louisiana. A tropical storm warning is also in effect from Destin, Florida eastward to Indiana Pass, Florida, and from Intracoastal City, Louisiana westward to Cameron, Louisiana.
The entrance to the Mississippi River has been closed; below are storm-related itinerary changes reported by major cruise lines in all affected areas:
Carnival's Holiday will be delayed arriving back to Mobile. The ship is expected to return on Wednesday, August 31. Holiday's upcoming cruise, originally scheduled to depart on Monday, will become a three-day cruise to nowhere to depart on Wednesday. Guests who elect to cancel will receive a full refund; guests who elect to sail will receive a 50 percent refund of their fare as well as a discount of 50 percent good toward a future Carnival cruise of three to five days.
Carnival Conquest's current sailing ended in Galveston today instead of New Orleans due to the evacuation. The ship will remain docked in Galveston until noon on Monday; guests are allowed to stay onboard while coordinating arrangements home. Carnival will provide free motorcoach transportation to the Houston airports, and a $200 credit will be added to guests' shipboard accounts to offset additional travel expenses guests may incur in returning home. Additionally, all guests will receive a 25 percent discount on a future three- to seven-day cruise.
Guests parked at the pier in New Orleans will not be able to access their cars until the storm passes and there is a complete assessment of the area. For more information, please call the port's toll-free hotline (866-476-7866).
Carnival Miracle's August 28 voyage departed from Port Everglades instead of Tampa. Guests received free transportation by motorcoach from Tampa (available from both the port and airport) to Port Everglades, and a $50 per-person shipboard credit.
Inspiration will end its current cruise in Port Everglades on Monday instead of Tampa. The next voyage, set to depart Monday afternoon, will leave from Port Evergaldes. Carnival will provide complimentary motorcoach transportation (between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.) between Ft. Lauderdale and the Tampa airport and cruise port for both embarking and debarking guests. Guests who have purchased air transportation from Carnival will be assisted in changing incoming flights to Ft. Lauderdale or Miami. All guests sailing on the August 29 departure from Port Everglades will receive a $50 per-person credit to their shipboard accounts.
Imagination, which was originally scheduled to end a cruise in Miami Thursday, remained at sea and arrived Saturday instead. The following voyage, a four-day cruise converted to a two-day Bahamas cruise, departed Miami on Saturday. Guests who opted to sail this modified itinerary will receive a 50 percent refund of their cruise fare and a 50 percent discount off a cruise of three or four days. Guests who opted to cancel will receive a full refund.
Fascination, which was originally scheduled to end a four-day voyage in Miami Friday, spent an extra day at sea, arriving instead Saturday. The following voyage, converted from a three-day cruise into a two-day Bahamas voyage, departed on Saturday. Guests who opted to sail on the modified cruise will receive a 35 percent refund of their cruise fare and a 50 percent discount off a future three-day cruise. Guests who opted to cancel will receive a full refund.
Royal Caribbean's Majesty of the Seas departed from Miami yesterday on a converted two-day sailing. Guests who opted to cancel will receive a 50 percent refund; guests who opted to sail will receive an onboard credit of $100 per stateroom.
Empress of the Seas, now on four-night sailing, sailed from Tampa on a modified itinerary. The ship will return to Port Everglades on Monday.
Check back often; we'll continue to provide updates and itinerary changes as necessary.

This reflection is taken from my book Pro-Life Reflections for Every Day, which is available for purchase at: ProLifeReflectionsForEveryDay.org
"He consoles us in all our afflictions and thereby enables us to console others in their tribulations" (2 Corinthians 1:4).
Reflection: Terri Schiavo's family now assists other families who face tragedies similar to their own, and is calling for laws in various states to protect the disables from being dehydrates to death as Terri was. Rather than being absorbed in bitterness or despair, this family has accepted from the Lord their mission to be a voice for the voiceless. Their book, "A Life that Matters," is their personal account of what happened to Terri.
Prayer: As I battle the culture of death, Lord, may I receive and share your consolation. Amen.

College Hockey:Cornell All Alone in First Place
Big Red Give Vermont 8-1 Pounding; Palahicky Scores Twice
ITHACA, N.Y. — Excuse Vermont for not feeling sorry for Dave LeNeveu.
The Cornell goaltender, having already shut out Vermont once this season, lost another shutout bid in the game's closing minutes Saturday night. It was the only blemish in the otherwise complete manhandling by the Big Red, 8-1, at Lynah Rink.
It was the third straight game in which LeNeveu — the nation's leader in goals against average at 1.16 — allowed just a single third-period goal in a Cornell win. As a result, he still remains one shy of Ken Dryden's single-season school record of six shutouts, set in 1967-68.
After the late power-play goal snapped the shutout, LeNeveu gave a bemused look of exasperation.
"I'm really upset for him," said Cornell forward Shane Palahicky. "The guy works so hard and plays so well. He keeps us in the start of the game, and the least we can do is play strong defensively. But it was just a bad bounce."
Nevertheless, the win put Cornell two points up on idle Harvard, each with six games to play, including next Saturday's contest against each other in Cambridge.
The Big Red showed no letdown after Friday's big win over Dartmouth, and for the second straight night they jumped on an early power play, getting a goal from Mark McRae at 1:37 of the first period. Cornell coach Mike Schafer could tell things were going well early.
"I think those guys have learned their lesson very, very well," said Schafer. "Especially this weekend, we were very thorough, and we were very disciplined."
Cornell had only just begun to unleash its fury, overwhelming Vermont with an 18-2 shot edge in the first period and two more goals. Palahicky made it 2-0 on a deflection of a point shot, and Matt McRae put in a rebound after Shane Hynes had paved the way with a power rush down the left wing.
"I didn't have a lot of room," said Hynes. "I was right on top of the goalie, which is pretty much why I ran him over. There was a pretty big rebound and Matty put it home."
As if Vermont was not already up against it enough, early in the second period saw a parade of penalties which led to two consecutive 5-on-3 power plays for Cornell. The result: two 5-on-3 goals, plus another goal on the ensuing 5-on-4 power play.
Stephen Baby and Sam Paolini scored the 5-on-3 goals, basically uncontested in front of the net. At that point, Vermont starter Shawn Conschafter — who, really, played well, believe it or not — was pulled in favor of freshman Matt Hanson.
The third goal of the power-play sequence, which made it 6-0, came off a tremendous one-time pass out of the right-wing corner, from Mike Knoepfli to Shane Hynes. Knoepfli fired a perfect pass along the ice to Hynes at the top of the crease, and Hynes somehow put it in the top shelf.
"We've been working that pass a long time in practice," said Hynes. "It's been working the past week in practice. Before [Knoepfli] even got the puck I yelled, 'Net,' and he didn't even look; he knew I was going to be there. He just one-timed it there.
"Both goalies aren't very big, and you know you have to go upstairs on those goalies. And they're butterfly goalies, they go down in a hurry. So I just tried to get underneath it as much as I could, and it just went underneath the bar."
Late in the period, Matt Moulson tacked on another power-play goal, using Hynes as a screen. It was Moulson's fourth goal of the weekend, and 11th of the season.
The Cornell power play finished 5-for-7.
Palahicky added his second of the game midway through the third period, off a gorgeous give-and-go with Dan Pegoraro.
"Pegoraro made an unbelievable play," Palahicky said.
Tim Plant scored the power-play goal for Vermont, as his shot got a piece of a defender and went in the top left corner.
Schafer then replaced LeNeveu with freshman Louis Chabot for the final 2:58. Chabot made one save in his first official varsity action.
During a late power play, Palahicky had a couple great chances for a hat trick, including one where he just missed a wide open net. The Big Red almost had hat tricks on back-to-back nights (Moulson did it Friday), after not having had one previously since November 1998.
"Peggy [Pegoraro] made a great play in front, shot the puck, and I went to the net," Palahicky said. "And I have no idea what happened. I was getting mugged, there was like three guys on me. I was just trying to get my stick on it. I thought it went in, I was about to raise my hands, but unfortunately, it just didn't pop in the net."
The third period also saw an all-out fight, between Greg Hornby of Cornell and Jamie Sifers of Vermont. Hornby — whose 90 penalty minutes is 22 shy of Cornell's single season record — landed numerous rights before it was all over. He received a 5-minute major for punching and a game disqualification, while Sifers received 2 for roughing, a 10-minute misconduct and a game misconduct, but no DQ.
An amused Mark McRae said of Hornby, "I can't really get into his head for you, I don't think many people can. … I guess he had some sort of tiff with the guy early in the game, but something deifnitely snapped there."
NOTES: Former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno (class of '60) was at the game, as was another alum, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, whose son is a freshman at Cornell.

Swedish weavers from across the country will gather in the south Mississippi town of Picayune in June for the 2014 National Swedish Weaving Convention. The 11th annual event takes place at Holiday Inn Express from Monday, June 23 to Thursday, June 26, with a Meet and Greet session scheduled for Sunday evening, June 22.
The conference will be hosted by RLM Swedish Weavers of Picayune. Preregistration (required) for the event is $25.
A tradition during the conferences is to create a charitable project. This year's project is baby blankets for a local crisis pregnancy center. Attendees will bring their contributions to the event.
Two exchanges are among the events planned during the convention: a Swedish weave runner exchange and a "froggie" gift exchange. The frog items celebrate the little amphibian mascot of Swedish weavers. Their solution to mistaken stitches echo his call, "rip it, rip it!" according to Edie Flores, leader of the host group.
Attendees can look forward to a sightseeing day on Friday, June 27 with the destination to be determined by poll of the group.
RLM Swedish Weavers meet at Resurrection Life Worship Center in Picayune in the Holy Java Café. The group is open to all interested weavers of all levels. Swedish weaving is a traditional craft that uses even weave fabric as the canvas for a design created by running colored thread or yarn over and under the threads of the fabric.
Picayune is located about 45 miles east of New Orleans. Flights into Louis Armstrong International Airport in New Orleans or Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport in Gulfport, Miss. can accommodate attendees flying in for the event.

Covered bridges are vitally important cultural, economic, educational, aesthetic, and historic resources. Although public support for preserving them is strong, many are vulnerable to the effects of deterioration due to neglect, limited funding, and limited knowledge of appropriate treatments. Consequently, their structural, material, and functional integrity is often at risk. This charter establishes the following goals for insuring the long term safeguarding of historic covered bridges.
1. To preserve the historic structural
and material integrity of covered bridges to the maximum extent
possible, consistent with public safety.
2. To identify, document, and preserve examples of covered bridge design, ingenuity in timber and masonry construction, and unique practices or solutions to specific problems, and to encourage future generations to summon similar ingenuity.
3. To retain covered bridges for in active use for transportation, with the least possible compromise to their structural and material integrity.
4. To identify, document, and preserve all surrounding features that define the historic character of covered bridges and their settings, including approach roads, historic cultural landscapes, and views.
5. To interpret and publicize individual covered bridges and the overall importance of the covered bridge to the history of transportation, engineering, and community life.
6. To establish partnerships among bridge owners; local, state, and federal governments; non-profit organizations; design and construction professionals; craftspeople; and others in order to provide the best opportunities for cooperative stewardship of covered bridges.
7. To undertake research to develop tools essential to the preservation of historic covered bridges, including studies of appropriate treatments of historic materials; methods of structural analysis; techniques for repair and strengthening; and the economic benefits of preserving historic covered bridges.
8. To develop management practices that ensure timely identification of needs and prioritization of treatments.
9. To encourage government agencies and other public and private entities to provide adequate and effective funding to implement the above goals.
Resolved: Participants of the First
National Best Practices Conference for Covered Bridges hereby
adopt this Burlington Charter for the Preservation of Historic
Covered Bridges. Be it further resolved that we respectfully ask
the U.S. National Park Service to develop guidelines that apply
and adapt the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Preservation,
Rehabilitation, Restoration, and Reconstruction to historic covered
bridges in a manner consistent with these goals and objectives,
and to present these guidelines at the Second National Best Practices
Conference for Historic Covered Bridges, time and place to be

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- UPDATE 11:40 AM Recordings of 911 calls from the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting show town dispatchers calmly responding to a janitor, a teacher and others and assuring them help is coming.
The operators urge the people inside the school to take cover as they reach out to town officials and state police for help. The operators also ask about the welfare of the children.
A gunman shot his way into the school on the morning of Dec. 14 and gunned down 20 children and six educators with a semi-automatic rifle. He committed suicide as police arrived.
The calls to Newtown police were posted Wednesday on a town website. A court ordered the release of the tapes last week, despite the objections of prosecutors, after a legal challenge by The Associated Press.
-- Recordings of 911 calls from the Newtown school shooting are being released.
A state prosecutor dropped his fight to continue withholding the tapes this week after an order to provide them to The Associated Press, which has sought the recordings in part to examine the police response to the Dec. 14th massacre.
For nearly a year, the AP has been asking for an opportunity to review the tapes, which will be released Wednesday to the news cooperative along with other media organizations. The AP will review the tapes' content and determine what might meet its standards before releasing material to subscribers.
A total of seven landline calls from inside the school to Newtown police are expected to be released.

Basically I just need someone that knows what they are doing to take Shem's "Bao-Dur wears Jedi Robes" head model and make a copy of it (with animations, i cant seem to be able to retain the head animations), with a newly renamed head texture (P_ZabrakH), and then renaming the head to P_ZabrakH.mdl/.mdx.
Pretty simple right?
Basically this will be a new playable Zabrak head that would have a normal player body so that he could wear robes and such..I was successful in making the new P_Zabrak head, but the animations were missing, I dont know if that was from Shem's head model or something I wasnt doing, but the skins are being worked on to the best of my ability.
Who's game?
So, you want to use the head, as-is, for use as a playable PC? Well, all you have to do is rename the head model, match the skin's name to it, and then in heads.2da, just rename the character that you want to replace(example would be PMHA01) and then fill in the texture slots with the names of your textures.
Alternatively, you might just rename the zabrak head and skins to a row already in heads.2da, that way you won't have to mess with TSLPatcher, if you don't want to.

You've got tiny boobs. You'll never need to worry about them succumbing to the wiles of gravity... or will you? They might unpleasantly surprise you if you insist on bouncing on the treadmill without properly supporting them. Use the Itty Bracer ($68) when you work out to keep those A-cups properly positioned for years to come.

VIA formed on 04.07.13 and released their single "Closets" 04.20.13 and haven't looked back since. Releasing their debut EP "Acid" on July 19th a nice 3 months later. A week afterward they opened for the internationally known Smile Empty Soul. These guys don't need time to do the seemingly impossible. Also were one of the top 5 bands in the nation for RockStar's Uproar Festival 08.07.13. Already having accomplished more than most bands would dream of in less than 4 months. Blowing up is inevitable. Best get on their wagon sooner than later.
VIA is best described as a vocally driven, hard rock group. Quite a bit heavier than what you'd typically find in the local Indie Rock scene, but ear pleasing with melodic twists. Inspired and driven by some of the best grunge music of our time. Dirty and gritty and catchy as hell.
Jason, who sings lead vocals (and by sings, I mean belts out crazy notes in perfect key with a naturally grungy yet captivating voice) has brought a bit of his previous work into this new project. Jason has dabbled in bass and rhythm guitar but has always been a vocalist/singer/songwriter at the core. His previous projects have allowed him to write music in different genres, amongst them punk, pop and classic rock. His most recent project, Aphrodisiaddicts, was a jazz infused bluesy rock group to die for. All the while, during those projects, he was secretly writing music for VIA, although he didn't know it at the time :) The songs you'll hear today have had years of tweaking and even though they probably didn't need it, the end result is quite amazing. Jason has a writing style that you won't see very often. He plays in chords that drive most guitarists nuts but they're fantastic to listen to. But the true magic comes out in his vocals, where just as you think he cant get any higher he'll hit you with a heart stopping note that will leave you wanting more. Jason and Matt met just as VIA was getting off the ground and it's a damn good thing they did. Matt gives VIA the edge it needs and produces combinations on the drums that are somewhat inhuman at times. Matt also has an extensive background in music. His last band was a post hardcore gig called Cue The Doves. It's no wonder he makes his job look so effortless. He'll pull out a pause when you're least expecting it and follow it up by some of the most intricate drum solos I've heard. The two newest members of the band, Mauricio (bass) and Eric (lead guitar), just jumped on board thanks to rocking auditions. Mauricio, also seasoned musically, plays a six string for this gig and plays it well. In fact, so well that he beat out some pretty tough competition. He's a performer at heart and he'll grab your attention......or demand it :) Watching him finger bang his six string is like watching a porno on acid. He is another one that can get up there and make what he does look so effortless and captivating all at the same time. He's a true rocker and you take one look at him and see that. Listening to him play only confirms it. The band admits that the search for a guitarist was the hardest by far. They were looking for something very specific in a lead player and luckily they found it in Eric, or Evo as his band mates call him. Evo has been active in the music scene for the last ten years. He's played lead for a few different gigs over the years, the most recent being Maybe Saints whom you may be familiar with due to their radio play. Evo has a very wide taste in music, as he admits to being a very influential part of his playing. He's well rounded and fits well into the band. You can sense his experience, the way he effortlessly picks his spots to shine, and compliments the music throughout the song. Among his hard core solos, Evo steals the show and is a riot to watch. He breathes, sweats and bleeds music all around.
These four guys get along like best buds and play together as if they've been a band for years. You can sense the chemistry, and the music speaks to their 'vibe' as a band. They're all business and fight hard for their goals as a gigging band. They completed their band on April 7th of 2013 and by 4/20/13 had released their first single to the public. They've since recorded multiple more songs and will be releasing their first full CD in July.
Watch for these guys to blow up in the local music scene, and keep an eye on their page for show updates. Get a front row seat so you can say you them 'when'. VIARockVIARoll my friends.

The disease Alzheimer's is on the rise. According to reports today, men have a 1 in 11 chance of getting the disease, whereas women age 60 or older have a 1 in 6 chance to develop the disease, and "approximately 500,000 people dye each year," according to the Alzheimer's Association.
The disease is of the top 10 killers, and reports indicate, "by 2050, the number of people age 65 and older with Alzheimer's disease may nearly triple from 5 million to as many as 16 million," according to the 2014 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures report.
So far there are no treatments available to help slow the disease, or prevent it, and new drug developments will take years before knowing if they are effective. Other researchers believe it is "diabetes of the brain."
A Neuropathologist, Dr. Suzanne DeLaMonte, who also teaches pathology at The Alpert Medical School of Brown University published her findings in a 2005 article in the Journal of Alzheimer's disease, which examines the disease as diabetes of the brain.
Dr. DeLaMonte was a guest in 2011 on the Dr. Oz show. During this show she revealed her findings, which happened by accident. Apparently, she was investigating diabetes when the compounds were introduced to the brain cells she noticed an immediate reaction that replicated the dying effects as seen in Alzheimer's. During this time she had found that the brain produces its own insulin. In attendance on the show to verify her facts was a former Surgeon General. There is other ongoing research efforts due to the increase in deaths, and the cost in care.
Reports today indicate the cost of care for family members who develop Alzheimer's is "estimated to be $214 billion for this year alone."
Other researchers are looking at other causes. Harvard researchers also show there might be evidence that certain "protein clumps" accumulate on brain cells, causing Alzheimer's. While the Nature journal recently published a protein found that might help genes suppress the Alzheimer's disease, no therapies or cures currently exist, indicating much more research and funding is needed for Alzheimer's.
"One of our concerns is the fact there are 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer's disease, but [so far] we have no treatments to slow, stop, or prevent the disease," said Dean Hartley, director of science initiatives for the Alzheimer's Association.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
'Tis the season when designers congregate in places like Milan and Vegas to show off their new work and gather ideas. I can't afford one single thing at the shows, but they're great for mining DIY ideas. Based on Design Milk's excellent coverage, I found three cool ideas that are ripe for adaptation—the most useful form of flattery—if you're handy with such things.
Architect David Bitton covered last month's iSaloni, the Milan Furniture Fair for Design Milk and found "a clear shift in priorities" toward better production values. "After many years of paying token interest to ecological and sustainable issues, it seemed to me that this year designs really did integrate ecology at the heart of the creative as well as the manufacturing processes," he writes. Natural materials have returned in a big way, he says, and the divide between "man-made furniture" and its surrounding is blurring. Angelo Grassi Design's Collezione Vegetale chair is one such example, and anyone who's handy with tools could make their own version.
Angelo Grassi Design's Collezion Vegatale chair, with vines growing up trellises from planters that are also chair legs, provides inspiration if you have the skills to build your own furniture. Is this cute or what? Photo courtesy of Design Milk
Susan Serra of thekitchendesigner.org, scandinaviankitchens.com and Bornholm Kitchen, covered the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show in Las Vegas for Design Milk. She reports that kitchen sink covers that double as counter space are a top trend. This one is a great way to expand counter space in a small kitchen—and, maybe, hide a sink that could use a scrub.

And who couldn't use a little help with kltchen organization? Serra found these at the kitchen and bath show; I love the idea of storing wine in drawers.
This example of Häfele's Fineline drawer organizer is available with many options and configurations. This could easily be adapted to meet your needs and fit your drawers. Photo courtesy of Design Milk

Going full wilderness on the weekends does not mean going fully gross into town afterwards. Take your campsite shower if you must, but follow that up with the Columbia Rocky Ridge Skirt ($50). We're not asking for much. We're just asking that you leave the mud, poison ivy residue, and bear repellent on the trail. This cotton-blend skirt packs away smaller than a camp stove, and weighs less than a plastic bag full of toilet paper. So do yourself and us a favor by leaving the zip-off pants in the tent.

Kapoor in Berlin
Indian-born artist Anish Kapoor is one of the most important of the world's contemporary artists. He presents his works in the first major exhibition at the Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin from 18 May - 24 November, 2013. In an interview to the Guardian newspaper, the artist says the exhibition, entitled 'Kapoor in Berlin', is the best show he has yet put on, as he feels Germany demonstrates a huge degree of respect for the arts.
Since his first sculptures – simple forms with paint pigments spread out on the floor – Kapoor has developed a multi-faceted oeuvre using various materials, such as stone, steel, glass, wax, PVC skins and high-tech material. In his objects, sculptures and installations the boundaries between painting and sculpture become blurred. Born in Mumbai in 1954, Kapoor is among the most prominent representatives of British sculpture. He travelled to London in 1973 to study sculpture at the Hornsey College of Art and has lived and worked there ever since.
Enlarge image View of a mirror installation at Guggenheim, Bilbao, 2009-2010 (© Anish Kapoor / VG Bildkunst, Bonn, 2013; Photo: Dave Morgan) The show, comprising about 70 works, will provide a survey of the abstract poetic work of this winner of the Turner Prize from 1982 to the present. It covers more than 3,000 sq metres at the Martin-Gropius-Bau. Around half the works were created especially for the show.
In 'White Sand, Red Millet, Many Flowers' for example, he draws inspiration from the land of his birth: India. Objects reminiscent of the decorative elements in Indian temples or Buddhist stupas have been covered with thick layers of gleaming pigment powder in red, yellow and black.
Working with stone for 'Wound', Kapoor has cut a gash in the inner faces of two stones and filled it with deep red pigment. The gash continues along the front of the wall where the stones come together to form a V. The deep red colour emphasizes the organic element. The title of the work calls up numerous images before our inner eye and points to an interpretation.
The centrepiece of the show, 'Symphony for a Beloved Sun', is a new creation that fills the gallery's main atrium. Emerging from holes in walls and a trapdoor in the floor, conveyor belts rise skywards, carrying big rectangular blocks of viscous, wine-red wax. As the wax moves up, it produces a squelching sound before falling off the end of the belt and landing with a satisfying splat on the linoleum floor.
Enlarge image Anish Kapoor in his studio (© Mark Power / Magnum Photos ) 'Symphony for a Beloved Sun' is a nod to one of Kapoor's heroes, the late German sculptor Joseph Beuys, who exhibited in the same atrium space shortly after the building's postwar restoration, in 1982.
In his interview to the Guardian, Kapoor described exhibiting at the Martin-Gropius-Bau as both a challenge and an inspiration as he had to deal not just with its complicated, decorative interior but also with the history that envelops the building. "It's a building with a curious, difficult history that is inexorably linked to the history of Berlin," he said. "That's very potent. You can't make a show here without some reference to all of that. And it certainly makes a show here so much more interesting."

The Pac-10 Is About World-Class Academics
Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano
It is said that you are known by the company you keep. The University of Colorado at Boulder will be keeping very good company in the Pacific-10 Conference as its newest and 11th member.
The CU Board of Regents voted Friday to accept the Pac-10's invitation to join the most prestigious academic and athletic conference in the nation.
On the surface this may seem like an athletics story dominating the weekend sports pages. In actuality it is an investment in our future as a leading academic institution.
While we have a long and proud history in the Big 12 and Big 8 conferences that spawned storied athletic rivalries, CU-Boulder has grown and evolved to the point that we have much more in common with the academic powerhouses of the Pac 10 then we do with the Midwestern universities of the Big 12.
We are excited to be in a conference in which we share a similar vision for transforming the future of higher education in service to our state, our nation, and the world. We are the only member of the prestigious Association of American Universities in the Rocky Mountain West. The Pac-10 has seven fellow AAU members. We are honored to become the eighth.
We share many other similarities with our new Pac-10 partners. CU-Boulder derived $340 million in groundbreaking federally sponsored research in 2009, comparable to Pac-10 universities such as the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Arizona. Our four Nobel Laureates share a legacy of discovery with other Nobel Prize winners at institutions such as Stanford, the University of Southern California and the University of California at Los Angeles.
CU is talked about in the same breath as Cal, UCLA, Arizona, and Washington as the "public Ivies," of the West in national publications.
We have a long history of research collaborations with our counterparts in the Pac 10, especially in the areas of aerospace engineering, biomedical research, renewable and sustainable energy, and geosciences. Here are just a few examples.
The world-class Pac-10 schools are destination universities for international students, a goal we are pursuing in our Flagship 2030 strategic plan to diversify our campus, give all our students an international perspective in the global economy and boost tuition revenue. The new flexibility legislation signed last week by Gov. Bill Ritter, gives us new latitude to pursue this important goal, as international students will no longer be counted as part of our non-resident cap.
Quite simply, the Pac-10 is a great fit for us. We have a strong alumni and student base in California. We have 35,000 more alumni living in the Pac-10 region than in the Big 12 footprint and we are excited about reuniting regularly with our loyal alumni and fan base that reside within the Pac-10.
I also believe this will be great move for our fans. I think the Buffs will be a team that will "travel well" to attractive Pac-10 destinations. California is our biggest out-of-state feeder of students – with more than 600 new freshmen joining us from California each fall. Competing in their home state will offer us fresh exposure as we continue to recruit some of California's top students.
While competition doesn't begin on the field of play until 2012, I can assure you that we are already being associated with the academic-rich Pac-10 schools. Membership in this prestigious conference is the next step in our journey as a comprehensive world-class research university.

Episode 2.23, "Exodus"
Directed by Greg Beeman
Written by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar
Guest Stars: Emmanuelle Vaugier (Dr. Bryce), Terrance Stamp (Voice of Jor-El).
Air Date: 05/20/03
Let's list off the things that seem abundantly clear right now. Chloe is working for Lionel Luthor. The SpaceCrib was destroyed, so no more Terrance Stamp. Martha lost the baby. Lex is plummeting into the ocean, seemingly betrayed. Okay, now for what's not so clear. Was the blood Lex stole last week Clark's? Was Helen working for Lionel the whole time? Did she betray Lex? These are some interesting questions, and a plot summary might shed some light on the answers.
Clark is given an ultimatum by Jor-El, in the form of his spaceship, to leave Smallville or face letting everyone he cares about getting hurt. Clark decides, rather stupidly, to destroy the ship rather than decide. So you know this isn't going to go well. Clark remembers that the ship neutralized Lana's Kryptonite necklace back in "Visage", so he figures the ship might also be vulnerable to the deadly Greek K. He decides to steal a Kryptonite Key in Lionel Luthor's possession to test out his little theory. His theory proves right, and the resulting explosion injures Jonathan and Martha. This causes Martha to lose the baby, and pisses Jonathan off beyond reason. The way he treats Clark more or less explains why Clark goes onto do some things that are even more idiotic later in the episode.
Meanwhile, the Lex/Helen marriage is still on, despite Lex's confession early on that he did break into Helen's office. The vile of blood he stole clearly has a label on it, and Helen claimed last week that she didn't label Clark's blood. I know we're supposed to assume that this is Clark's blood, but he's never named by Helen or Lex during the exchange. Lex was unusually interested in Martha's medical file from "Fever", so this could have been Martha's blood. Also keep in mind that she was a patient of Helen's as well. Either way, the blood is back in her hands, which might not be good news for anybody come next season.
Clark, in shock, decides to turn to the sweet liberation of Red Kryptonite rather than deal with what he's feeling. Pete warns Clark about what Red K does to him, but all Clark can think about is that it makes him feel better. That's a not so subtle metaphor for substance abuse, but it's still not a bad idea. Clark rockets out of Smallville on his dad's motorcycle and heads straight for Metropolis, leaving everything behind. Who here thinks that Clark's gonna have trouble winning Lana back next season? Everybody? Good call. Lana does try to stop him, but she can't get in the way of Clark and a really good brood.
After the wedding, Lex and Helen retire to a private jet for their honeymoon. Everything seems fine until Lex wakes up from an apparently drug-induced slumber to find Helen nowhere in sight. Not to mention no pilots and a seriously damaged cockpit. The last we see of Lex his plane is crashing into the ocean. Producers Millar and Gough have said in interviews that the next season will take place three months after the second season finale. If that's the case, then I have a bad feeling that Lex is going to wind up being presumed dead for three months then return from some Castaway experience a changed man. The only relationship that wasn't totally damaged was Clark's relationship with Lex. Lex didn't even seem pissed about Clark being a no-show at the wedding. Not sure if this is going to have consequences or not just yet. Did Helen actually betray Lex? Most likely, but it's not entirely apparent. Chloe, though, is most definitely betraying Clark by accepting Lionel's offer. A new antagonist has entered the stage, and I'm going to enjoy this development most of all. Now if only they don't screw things up. "Exodus" gets:

I can't honestly say
I know the color of your eyes,
How deep they seem,
Or how brightly they shine.
In truth, I'm afraid.
Afraid to look you in the eyes.
Afraid to let you see how I feel.
So I avoid your chilling gaze.
But I do know your stunning smile
And your incredible laugh.
I see all the joy you bring to others,
And I love the joy your presence brings me.
I wonder if you know this feeling.
Do you have someone like that?
Someone whose eyes you're afraid to meet
Because they might look into yours and see the truth?
Do you ever try to meet my eyes
And wonder why I always look away?
Or maybe you're scared of my gaze as well,
But I could only wish to be so lucky.
I can't honestly say
I know the color of your eyes.
But I know the color of your spirit
And I can't help but love its vibrant hue.

Function of the American Federation of Musicians
The idea of having a society or union to protect the interests of musicians and to aid them while developing their careers started in the 1800s. Musicians realized that they needed financial assistance and insurance against illness or any situation that might render them unable to perform, leading to a loss of income. The first form of this was the Mutual Aid Societies. Unfortunately, competition was cut throat to retain clients, which eventually led to a meeting between the unions and the decision to create one central body. In 1896, the American Federation of Musicians was formed, with the first president being Owen Miller, who presided over the establishment until 1900.Read more..

Today – March 20 is National Bock Beer Day.
The story of Bock beer is a bit of a mystery, but there are a couple of popular stories regarding the origins of the beginnings of this robust malt beer.
In the days of medieval Germany, monasteries would brew a strong beer for nourishment during their Lenten fasts. Others believe it is more of a pagan or old world influence that the beer was only to be brewed during the sign of the Capricorn goat. That may give an indication as-to-why an image of a goat is associated with Bock beers.
Bock beer is a bottom fermenting lager that generally calls for extra months of lagering (cold storage) to smooth out the strong brew.
For a different spin on your Bock beer experience, try one of these recipes to expand your Bock beer familiarity.
Bock Breezer
- 2 oz Vodka
- 12 oz Bock Beer
- 2 dashes Tabasco sauce
- 1 pinch Celery salt
Add cold vodka to frosted glass, add Tabasco and celery salt, top with Bock Beer
Jamaican Bock Beer
- 8 parts Bock beer
- 3 parts Dry Vermouth
- 3 parts Sweet Vermouth
- 3 parts dry Gin
- 3 parts Whisky
- 1 drop Red Vodka
- 1 drop Blue Curacao
Combine all ingredients into a tall glass or mug, with the beer being the last ingredient added.

While I love Twitter and use it quite often hell you can even follow me at @sharonrose cause I am that awesome.
That aside I do think it was inappropriate for the Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff to post about giving the go ahead in the execution of Ronnie Lee Gardner. And sure we all heard about it and it was covered by the news I just can't agree with a Government official "live tweeting" it.
Here is a screenshot of his tweet:
He had also followed with a second tweet that said: "We will be streaming live my press conference as soon as I'm told Gardner is dead. Watch it at (and a web address I don't feel like linking to).
I do not know about the politics of Utah seeing as I live in Texas, but I can't help but wonder if he may be up for reelection and trying to get himself some publicity. That is the only reasoning I can come up with.
An article I read said this one will probably go down in history as one of the most disgusting uses of Twitter ever, I think the most disgusting however was already won by the lady who live tweeted her abortion.
But in other thoughts since they say it is so expensive to have people go to the electric chair or lethal injection. I can't help but to think that maybe the firing squad could save the tax payers money.
Maybe it would? I am just wondering, I am by no means an expert on such things.

(NEW KENT, VA) — The inaugural running of the Dogwood Classic, a new steeplechase racing & tailgating event, has had necessary details in place for a while like a date, time, location and website, but had been lacking a theme — until this week that is.
The area's newest spring tradition will take place Saturday April 6th at Colonial Downs and will feature five steeplechase races on the Secretariat Turf Course in conjunction with tailgating along the rail on the outer 1 ¼ mile dirt track.
Thanks to reader suggestions and contesting done via richmond.com, the theme for the inaugural Dogwood Classic is "The Wild, Wild West".
The winning theme was pit against four others in an on line poll for ten days. Other themes in the running were "The Rat Pack", "Seersuckers 'n Sundresses", a "Masquerade/Carnival" and "Dogwood" themed tie-in. "The Wild, Wild West" theme was suggested by Blair Lownsbery of Richmond, who won a vehicle tailgating spot at the "Classic" as a result.
The winning theme received 28.8% of the total votes while "The Rat Pack" and "Seersuckers 'n Sundresses" tied for second with 23.3%.
Tickets and event details are at dogwoodclassic.com and facebook.com/DogwoodClassicRaces. Tailgating rail spots purchased before January 31st will receive a 25% discount. For more information, call 804-966-7223.

My audio is riddled with pops/crackles/glitches. Sometimes I swear the glitches sound exactly like the facebook messenger sound (best comparison I can give).
Using DPC Latency Checker, it reports the latency to be an abysmal 17,500µs (0.0175s). The first thing I did was disable my 802.11n wireless adapter. This immediately dropped the latency to a nice 250µs. When I re-enabled the adapter, it jumped right back up. I'm 99% certain that this is the cause of my audio glitches.
What can I do about it besides using wired Ethernet or buying a whole new adapter? My adapter is a Dell Wireless 1505 Draft 802.11n WLAN Mini-Card. To be honest, I've had nothing but trouble with the 802.11n standard and am contemplating just going back to g.
