Last updated on September 26, 2017 at 1:20 AM ET
We post metal news every day, throughout the day, covering thousands of metal bands including underground and unsigned bands. You are currently browsing the news archive, but you can also find news by band.

Original Anthrax Singer Announces New Band Lineup
Original ANTHRAX vocalist Neil Turbin has joined forces with the progressive power metal twin guitar attack of Kurt James (DR. MASTERMIND, ex-STEELER, DRIVER) and Beau Simpson (ex-FAIL FOR FUN). The thunderous rhythm section is powered by the double bass drumming fury of Mikey Neil (CAGE) and menacing bassist Mike Giordano (CAGE).
The band is set to headline the second stage at the 2005 Monterrey Metal Fest on Saturday, May 28 in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico.
Four brand new power metal songs have been penned — "Angry World", "Die to Live", "Back from Hell" and "Afterlife" — to be included on Neil Turbin's upcoming sophomore album, "Diary of a Metal Thrashing Madman", tentatively due late 2005.
Slipknot Guitarist On Grammy Awards
The following excerpts were taken from an article from BostonHerald.com of Slipknot guitarist Mick Thompson speaking about the band's Grammy nominations:
Grammy nominations are starting to become old hat for Slipknot but winning one would be more of a novelty than a true honor for guitarist Mick Thompson.
"It would be something to sit on top of my television and joke about,'' said Thompson, also known as Number 7. "But I wouldn't be any cooler today than I was before I won a Grammy. Winning a Grammy doesn't validate our existence.''
"Obviously, we wear masks and the stage show is crazy but when it comes right down to it, it's about the music,'' Thompson explained. "Plus we know how to write a song. It's one thing to play but another thing to write a memorable song that makes you want to listen to it again.''
It's the songs that have ultimately set Slipknot apart from its peers - and likely caught the ears of the Grammy folks. "Slipknot: Vol. 3'' is a perfect balance of speed, power and finesse. There's classic speedcore thrash ("The Blister Exists,'' "Pulse of the Maggots''), catchy metal anthems (the radio hit "Duality,'' "Before I Forget'') and soul-searching acoustic ballads ("Vermillion Pt. 2,'' "Danger - Keep Away'').
"There's nothing else like it. It's very unique,'' Thompson said. "We didn't sound like anything that was out there and we just did our own thing and it worked for us. And it was about honesty.''
Touring the world has taken its toll - physically and mentally - but in the end, the hectic stage show is the band's therapy.
"When it's time to go onstage and play, we definitely function as a unit. Especially with that many people,'' he said. "No matter what we happen to be doing that day or how anyone is feeling, we always manage to bring it together no matter what and focus. At least for the show.''
As for the Grammys, Thompson skipped it at the last minute and wasn't in the crowd when his band lost out in the metal category to Motorhead.
"Last I checked, they were a rock 'n' roll band,'' Thompson said, laughing. "I guess it would be cool to win, but unless your label is the biggest in the world, it's all very corporate. If we ever should have won, this would be the time.''

Infernal Method Reform, Prepare New Release
After a brief hiatus (during which two members of the band joined and then left Aussie power metallers DUNGEON), Australia's INFERNAL METHOD have reformed and will shortly release their long-awaited new studio album.
INFERNAL METHOD split up last July, citing "ongoing straining of relations between us regarding musical direction, general management and so forth," according to guitarist Peter Michael Peric.
Faust Joins Aborym
Former EMPEROR and current SCUM drummer Bård "Faust" Eithun has officially joined Italy's ABORYM as a a full-time member. "I am gonna go to Rome at the end of April to record the fourth album of these cyber black metallers," Faust said in a statement. "I am very excited to hear the result since this is the first time that ABORYM will combine acoustic, organic drums with the electronic beats they have used so far. Should be interesting I think."
In other news, Faust has joined the Norwegian "punk noisers" BOMBEROS, featuring former MAYHEM singer Maniac. "This is a nice break off to the metal music I normally play," Faust said. "The plan is not to conquer the world but rather just play music, do some gigs and fuck around a little."
SCUM, an all-new project featuring Faust, Samoth (ZYKLON, ex-EMPEROR), Happy Tom (TURBONEGRO), Casey Chaos (AMEN) and Cosmocrator (MINDGRINDER), recently recorded their debut album at Crystal Canyon Studio (TURBONEGRO, WE, EUROBOY) in Norway. Although no label or album title has been finalized, provisional songtitles include "Gospels for the Sick", "The Truth Will Be Sold" and "Hate the Sane".

Confirmed bands for Ozzfest 2005: More...
Throwdown Complete New Album, 'Vendetta'
Throwdown have finished recording and mixing their next album for Trustkill Records. Entitled "Vendetta," the album was recorded by Zeuss and will hit stores on July 12th. The track listing is as follows:
01. We Will Rise
02. Speak The Truth
03. Vendetta
04. Burn
05. Discipline
06. To Live Is To Sacrifice
07. Give My Life
08. The World Behind
09. Shut You Down
10. Annihilation (N.W.D.)
11. This Is Where It Ends
According to the band, "It's a lot more pissed than Haymaker and it's a lot more diverse too. The fast parts are faster, the breakdowns are more crushing, and the guitars, drums and especially vocals are a lot more dynamic than anything we've ever done. Every one from Madball fans to Pantera and Slayer fans can get into it."
Head Responds To Davis' 'False Crusade' Remark
Former KORN guitarist Brian "Head" Welch has defended himself against accusations by KORN singer Jonathan Davis that he has embarked on a "false crusade" by leaving the band to focus on Christianity. In an e-mail sent to MTV News, Welch said he still loves his KORN brethren, but that he was beginning to bristle at those who doubt the sincerity of his transformation.
"Sorry Jonathan, my 'false crusade' was not the reason I left KORN, it was what saved my life," Welch wrote. "I still love those guys to death, but if anybody trashes God, I am human and will defend Him and myself by any means necessary."
Welch's solo CD is close to being completed, and he added that he's just finished one instrumental track called "A Letter to Dimebag", which he wrote in tribute to the late guitar legend.
"It's a guitar-solo instrumental," he explained, according to MTV News. "I wrote it for Dimebag because he always used to tell Munky and I to put guitar solos in KORN's music."
Another track which may or may not get released is — as Welch described it — "a personal letter to 50 CENT from God."
"The Big Guy speaks through me a lot when I write, and I have a song for 50 CENT I wrote in the Holy Land. I feel like it's a personal letter to 50 from God, so I'm going to give it to him personally and see what his reaction is," Welch wrote to MTV News. "If it's a positive reaction and he's willing to talk to me, then I'm not gonna release it, but if the reaction is not positive, I'm going to share it with the world."
Epica Posts "The Last Crusade" Sample MP3
Epica has posted a sound sample of the song "The Last Crusade", from their upcoming album "Consign To Oblivion", on mp3 format. Click here to download it .
"Consign To Oblivion" will be released April 21.
Mortiis Finishes New Video, Work On Live DVD
Mortiis recently finished the video for the upcoming single "Decadent & Desperate" and should probably surprise a few people (again). Mortiis says, "I think some of the things going on in there will be new to a lot of people, coming from us, and it was very new to me to, and I'm excited as well as a bit anxious about."
"Decadent & Desperate" will be released in April, to coincide with the UK tour, and will be released in various formats (more details soon) and contains remixes made by Mortiis, a brand new song titled "Underdog" and obviously the title track.
In other news, Mortiis is currently working on the live DVD.
Brainstorm Cancels Bochum Release Party
There has been a slight change to Brainstorm's "Liquid Monster" Release Party calendar. Unfortunately, the party scheduled for April 1 at the Matrix in Bochum has been cancelled due to a major restructuring of the club's musical program, and no replacement date will be set. All other dates remain unaffected by this change.
"Liquid Monster" will be available everywhere April 4.

Yep, you've read correctly – I'm doing a 5k this Sunday with Rex.
I don't think the poor guy realizes that he's going to be forced to race for 30 mins but we've been training together as much as I can fit into my schedule. He doesn't have my base, he missed some of my runs (if they were with others or on the tready) However, I believe he can do this!
Earlier in the week I took him out and tried to run at our race pace (9min/mile) for the total distance. Rex was feeling it and whenever I found myself worrying about him I just chucked those feelings aside and focused on positivity and running. He did so great until I decided to sprint for a little bit and then around the 4k marker I was literally encouraging him to keep moving. <—– I feel bad about this, as I am aware you shouldn't do this to dogs, but I needed him to go beyond his limits so he'd trust me to pace him
We finished in just under 29 mins and I think that was just what I needed – to see that he could do it.
Then it's been taper town all week. We walked the following day and yesterday did just over 2 miles at a 10 min pace. It was great. We sprinted at the end just because I want his muscles used to finishing hard.
Today we are going to do an even slower 10:30 mile and then rest on Saturday.
I have no idea what will happen on Sunday. It'll be interesting to see how Rex handles it. We're running the Drew Hildebrand Race for Teens at Risk. I thought it was an excellent cause and so wanted to jump on board. Although it looks like it's tons of walkers (dogs and strollers welcome) so we'll be lining up at the front.
I'm just happy to be racing with my cubby dog
*yes, Logan is in underwear! He has been using the potty for a few weeks now. He is still in pull-ups when there's lots of excitement going on, we're out in public and at night but we're making progress. YAY!
Anyway I hope everyone has a great weekend and I hope those that are racing have a swift and speedy finish xo
1. ever run a race with your pet? your child? how was it??
2. any tips for avoiding going out to quickly??
3. anyone going away this weekend?? what are you doing??

Dog owner fined after worrying leads to five sheep deaths
10:25am Friday 7th December 2012
10:25am Friday 7th December 2012
A manwho allowed his dog to worry sheep has been fined £830.
Neil Rowe, 40, of Bannings Vale, Saltdean, appeared at Brighton Magistrates' Court, where he pleaded guilty to allowing his dogs to worry livestock at Kirby Farm, Telscombe Cliffs, in May and July and on Telscombe Tye in June.
The incident on the Tye resulted in the deaths of three ewes and two lambs.
PC David Tourell said: "This is an offence that we take very seriously.
"The vast majority of dog owners are very responsible, keeping their animals on leads around livestock and ensuring that they are under control at all times.
"Unfortunately, it only takes a single irresponsible or careless dog owner to create havoc among livestock, often with devastating consequences for the animals and for owners.
"Offenders will be prosecuted and it is quite possible that if found guilty, their dogs will be ordered to be destroyed.
"Nobody involved wanted that to happen in this case, but I would urge people to really think about what could happen if they don't keep their dogs under control."

text: Water company should keep filing reports, advocate says By Caitlin Cook January 22, 2014 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- West Virginia American Water should have to keep filing quarterly reports with the state Public Service Commission because of this month's chemical leak that contaminated water for about 300,000 West Virginians, the PSC's Consumer Advocate Division argued in a motion filed Wednesday.A 2011 investigation required the water company to file the quarterly reports until the end of 2013."Clearly under these circumstances we believe it must continue," said Consumer Advocate Division Director Jackie Roberts.The three members of the Public Service Commission would decide if the water company must keep filing the reports.The reports were originally required as part of a 2011 case in which the Utility Workers Union of American Local 537 filed a grievance with the PSC, alleging that the water company's proposed layoffs would compromise its ability to provide safe water to its customers.According to the latest report, filed Dec. 30, 2013, the water company had a total of 278 employees and 11 vacant positions, for a total of 289 potential employees."This compares with a total headcount of 298 for the same time period in 2012 and represents a reduction of 20 employees. The Commission-approved, minimum headcount is 289 employees," PSC records show.The latest report also said West Virginia American Water was failing to meet two mandates from the PSC: one to do with replacing meters, and one with valve operations.The Dec. 20 report shows West Virginia American Water failed to meet several mandates. During a nine-month period ending September 2013, a mandate required the water company to test a total of 950 meters of its system's pipe works. However, West Virginia American Water only tested 229 meters of its system.That earned the water company a 24.11 percent compliance rate.The Commission also mandated two criteria for the water company to replace a certain amount of meters in its system. One mandate is based on the service life of the system, 15 years. The second mandate is based on the volume measured in the system.Based on the number of meters actually replaced, the water company earned a year-to-date compliance rate of 90.59 percent but based on the system volume criteria the company earned a mere 1.4 percent compliance rate."Additional resources may be needed to realize the mandated level of meter replacement and testing," PSC records state. The report also shows the West Virginia American Water failed to meet its own standard for its system's target valve operations. "Valve operations are an important part of any maintenance program and the data shows the Company is currently failing to meet their own targets in this respect," PSC records state."I am sure many issues that are within the Commission's jurisdiction will come before them and we will be actively involved in that process," Roberts said.Reach Caitlin Cook at email@example.com or 304-348-5113.

I recently got a TT and suddenly, these horizontal red marks appeared. I am unsure as to their nature, as stretch marks are vertical and wide. I asked the nurse, she claims this is from having pulled and stretched the skin far too much. Any idea what caused this? I'm very swollen, could this be the cause?
Red Marks on Abdomen After Full Tummy-tuck
Doctor Answers 1
Red marks after a tummy tuck
I must say that what you have is very unusual. Usually the red marks or stretch marks/ striae occur from a rapid stretching of the skin and that is difficult to do on abdominal skin. Post-operative swelling can contribute to it possibly, but unless someone has some underlying collagen disease, spontaneous stretch marks like that are quite rare. Once the surrounding skin is soft and the swelling decreases, you could consider a series of sessions with a YAG laser to fade the red streaks.

Talk about a prayer from the heavens. Terrence Ross see the clock winding down and figures.. heck, I'll just chuck it up and see what happens.
Well, watch and see what happened.
Ross recognizes the clock and heaves up a shot from beyond halfcourt that catches more air than a 757. This ball has a crazy amount of arc and doesn't even need the benefit of the backboard to splash in for three.
Ross connects on this trick shot with no time remaining in the first quarter of play on Sunday night, and pushes the Raptors lead to 30-20 over the Lakers at Staples Center.
This shot gets little love as it's overshadowed by the return of Kobe Bryant. The Raptors, who had just dealt Rudy Gay to the Sacramento Kings prior to the game, went on to spoil Kobe's first game back, as they won 106-94 on the road.
Amir Johnson finished with 32 points and 10 rebounds in the win. Ross ended up with 11 points, and DeMar DeRozan had 26 in the win.

Inexplicably, President Obama prefers venture capitalist John Doerr's "cash for caulkers" to Bill Sweet's cash for (coal) clunkers, at least so far. In a jobs speech delivered yesterday at the Brookings Institution in Washington, Obama said he might introduce a special home retrofit program, to supplement subsidies in the stimulus bill and make it still easier and cheaper for homeowners to make dwellings more energy-efficient and conserving. The Daily Show's John Stewart poked fun at him Monday night for saying he didn't want to "tip his hand," as if he were giving away a secret. Obama has mentioned the idea repeatedly all year, as Stewart observed, and the concept has got analytic attention in the press and on the air.

Widener man shot; deputies seeking suspect
The St. Francis County Sheriff's Department is searching for a Widener man in connection with a Friday shooting after an argument over a lawnmower.
According to a sheriff's department report, deputies were called to 295 N. Jefferson St., in Widener just after 9 p.m., after it was reported that Hal Wofford, 64, of Widener had been shot.
When deputies arrived, they found several people standing around Wofford, who was on his hands and knees with a bullet wound to the lower left abdomen. An ambulance was called to the scene and Wofford was later transported to the Med in Memphis.
SFC Sheriff Bobby May today said Wofford is in critical condition at the Med.
"It's my understanding that Mr. Wofford and the suspect, Jerome Perkins, got into an argument over a lawnmower that Mr. Perkins sold to Mr. Wofford. Mr. Perkins alleged that Mr. Wofford didn't pay him for it and Mr. Wofford said that he did," said May. "Witnesses at the scene said the argument began inside a house, but carried outside, at which time Mr. Perkins snatched some money out of Mr. Wofford's hand and then fired several shots, striking Mr. Wofford in the abdomen. Mr. Perkins then walked away from the scene and left the area," said May.
"We're working completely off of witness statements at this point because Mr. Wofford is in critical condition at the Med, on a respirator and cannot speak. There were several witnesses on the scene who were instrumental in giving us information on this incident. Even though we don't have him yet, we're going to catch him, and any help from the public would be appreciated," added May.
According to Sgt. Blake Hudson with the department's Criminal Investigation Division, Perkins' last known location was in an area north of Jonesboro, but he may be back in this area. Hudson said Perkins' girlfriend, 21-year-old Ashley Christian, also of Widener, was also taken into custody on several charges after investigators found scales and marijuana during a search of Perkins' residence in Widener.
"The last known location that we have for Mr. Perkins was north of Jonesboro and we were able to use his cell phone to find that out, but he may have since come back to the area. We arrested his girlfriend on obstruction charges in connection with our investigation, and she is also facing some drug charges after we found marijuana in their home along with some scales," said Hudson.
Wofford was last seen in a maroon Chevrolet Sonoma pickup.
Christian is facing charges of obstruction of governmental operations, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Anyone with information in connection with Friday's incident is asked to contact the sheriff's department at 870-633-2611.

I am 1 week post op from a tummy tuck. I have concert tickets that will be on the night of exactly 3 weeks past my tummy tuck. This will also be my first day back at work. Is that too strenuous to only be 3 weeks out of surgery? I don't want to mess up my recovery.
Is It Ok to Go to a Concert Post Tummy Tuck?
Doctor Answers 7
Concert 3 weeks after tummy tuck?
You are 1 week post-op now, so you should know how your own personal recovery is coming, at least compared to other patients your surgeon may have cared for. Ask his or her nursing staff. Let's assume your drain(s) are out and things are healing well. I'm sure your surgeon has outlined various restrictions for you such as avoiding strenuous activities, lifting, and certainly nothing like sit-ups, crunches, jogging, etc. These all have times when they are allowed associated with them.
Your first day back at work may be quite taxing, depending on your type of work, your required pace at your job, the stress you encounter after being gone for 3 weeks, etc. Many of my tummy tuck patients return to work after 1 or 2 weeks; usually, having their drain out so they can shower and wear normal clothes is a prerequisite for even sedentary desk jobs or clerical positions. Standing all day at a hair salon, working at a bank on your feet all day, or any number of other high-level, supervisory, or physical jobs will each have their own requirements, stresses, and take their toll on your ability to get through your day.
And then you want to go to a concert!
Is this a classical piano concert? Or a heavy metal band with a mosh pit and lots of illicit chemicals in use? A rave or a high school band concert? You know what I mean!
The real answer is probably known to you already, and even more accurately if you ask your surgeon while providing those little details such as what kind of job you have, and what type of concert you are attending, and just how your own recovery is coming along.
Feel the Force, listen to your gut (and your plastic surgeon), and don't risk messing up your $8000 operation! That being said, if your surgeon agrees and you behave yourself, have a great time and give yourself a day off to rest up afterwards! You may need it! Best wishes! Dr. Tholen

Concert after tummy tuck
Listen to your body
Many patients are feeling ready to get back to their regular activities by the time you're describing. You may wear out a little quicker than usual, so be sure to take breaks and sit down as needed. Basically the rule of thumb is to listen to your body.

Concert post tummy tuck
Go have fun at the concert!! At three weeks post tummy tuck most people should be back to work. The only real exceptions would be a strenuous jobs or a complicated recovery. Therefore sitting for a concert should not be an issue.
Good luck, and thanks for the question.
Anire Okpaku MD
Concert post tummy tuck
Thank you for the question. It all depends on your recovery In general you should be able to do non streneous activities after three week. Attending a concert should be fine. As a general rule always confirm with your plastic surgeon.
Going to Concert Three Weeks after Tummy Tuck?
Thank you for the question.
Your plastic surgeon will be in the best position to advise you regarding postoperative activities since he/she will be following your progress closely. If I had to predict, I would suggest that you not plan on a full day of work and going to a concert that evening, three weeks out of your tummy tuck surgery. That amount of activity at that stage in your recovery will be potentially exhausting.
Best wishes.

Activities at 3 weeks after tummy tuck
Every patient recovers at her own pace. Every tummy tuck is different. And everyone's job is different.
By three weeks, most of my patients have already been at work for a week, provided the job is not physically stressful. (Someone who digs ditches is back in six weeks.)
If it is to be your first day back it may be a long day. If the concert is more important than that one day of work, you will have a choice to make.
Best wishes.

Champaign County Bd Votes to Set Up Redistricting Commission
In an attempt to take the politics out of drawing county board district boundaries ... the Champaign County Board voted Thursday night to form a special Redistricting Commission, in which the majority of members will be citizens from the community. County officials believe the commission may be a first for Illinois.
The new commission is an attempt to get past district maps drawn to favor whichever party holds the majority on the county board. For the map to be based on 2010 Census data, the Champaign County Board will vote on a map drawn up by a commission made up of four county members --- two from each party --- and seven at-large members representing different sectors of the community, such as business, labor, farmers, students --- and political independents. Democrat Steve Beckett says the goal is to come up with district boundaries that are drawn fairly and don't favor one party over another.
"I think it uses these principles, and it tests maps", says Beckett, "and it tries to look at one that doesn't bust up villages and doesn't bust up townships, and tries to make things compact and contiguous as our statute wants us to do, and have the right population and take into account and take into account federal requirements."
Most Republicans on the county board voted for the new commission, but only a third of the county board's Democratic majority did so. Among the opponents, Urbana Democrat Tom Betz says there's simply no way that politics can be taken out of the redistricting process.
"This is a nice attempt", said Betz. "It's very good public relations. I hope it turns out to be more than good public relations. But let's not kid ourselves that politics is out of this picture, because this is going to be very political.
Betz predicted the real politics would begin when the at-large members of the Redistricting Commission are chosen. The nominations will be made by Champaign County Board Chairman Pius Weibel, who actually voted against the measure. The county board will vote to ratify Weibel's choices.
The commission rules aim for openness, with proposed maps posted on the Internet, and subjected to public hearings. Past voting data would not be considered in drawing up district boundaries. But the Champaign County Board will still have the final say on district boundaries for the 2012 election.

Facebook Apes Pinterest, Allows Users To Collect Items In A Visual Collage
The social media giant will roll out Collections to let users buy and curate products.
Facebook has recently began testing its 'Collections' feature that will allow retailers to add 'Want' or 'Collect' buttons to product-related posts. The items collected can be saved in a 'Wishlist' and shared with friends. There will also be a 'Buy' button where it will take users to the direct site where they can purchase the product.
Collections sound similar to Pinterest where users can curate items by pinning them onto 'boards,' but the social media network assures the media that the new feature is "unrelated." A representative at Facebook recently told TechCruch that:
We've seen that businesses often use Pages to share information about their products through photo albums. Today, we are beginning a small test in which a few select businesses will be able to share information about their products through a feature called Collections. Collections can be discovered in News Feed, and people will be able to engage with these collections and share things they are interested in with their friends. People can click through and buy these items off of Facebook.

WITH her lovely rosy cheeks and gorgeous red hair, Caitlin Hartley is like any other toddler full of fun and mischief.
Nobody would guess that the two-year-old has already had five life-saving heart operations at Yorkhill children's hospital with more surgery ahead of her.
Now her dad, Steve, is set to raise £20,000 to thank the hospital staff for everything they have done for her. He has set himself the challenge of running 2013 kilometres in 2013 to raise money for Yorkhill Children's Charity.
Steve, 36, said: "You wouldn't know there was anything wrong with Caitlin – she's like any other two-year-old, running about, dancing and full of life.
"When she was born at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary in September 2011 she looked so healthy with lovely pink skin and a lively expression.
"My wife and I couldn't believe it when the doctor told us she had a heart murmur and would need tests.
"In a day, we went from the elation of birth to the devastation of hearing that Caitlin had a rare condition and would need open-heart surgery."
Caitlin was diagnosed with truncus arteriosus, a rare heart defect where there is only one large blood vessel leading out of the heart instead of two.
Mum Marie, 32, said: "We were totally shocked. The condition hadn't shown up during my pregnancy scans. Even when the doctor told us what was wrong, it didn't sink in.
"But before we got back from the neo-natal unit we both broke down. I was heartbroken, I couldn't say anything and Steve just held me."
A cardiologist came from Yorkhill in Glasgow to examine Caitlin and told the Hartleys she would need three or four operations to correct the condition.
"We were reassured because we knew our baby was in the best hands," added Marie, from Edinburgh.
The couple took her home for six precious weeks before they brought her to Yorkhill Children's Hospital for her first surgery.
Steve said: "She was so tiny. It was awful to think she'd have to undergo eight hours of open-heart surgery.
"The doctors told us her heart was the size of a walnut but we were reassured every step of the way."
Caitlin was given a cow's vein during her first surgery to separate the low-oxygen blood from the
high-oxygen blood going in and out of her heart.
Doctors later discovered that she was suffering from a complication of her condition, pulmonary stenosis, when the heart works so hard that the muscles thicken and block the right ventricle.
Caitlin underwent another heart operation to insert a stent when she was five months old.
"Her second surgery didn't go so well. Her tiny heart stopped for three minutes and they had to give her a shock and adrenaline to get it going again," Marie said.
"It was terrifying but somehow she made it and by the time she came home she was raring to go again."
Caitlin has since had three further surgeries, including a second open-heart surgery to replace the cow's vein with a prosthetic tube in August last year.
Steve said: "Our little girl has been so brave. We see her after surgery with all these tubes coming out of her and it's just heart-rending. Then she bounces back.
"Four days after a heart stent operation earlier this year she took part in and completed a 1k Yorkhill Rascal Run – she's truly amazing."
Caitlin now has to attend hospital every three months for check-ups and Marie and Steve are waiting to find out what more doctors can do to help her heart.
"It's natural that we worry about her future but we try to stay positive and enjoy our time together like any other family," said Steve.
"She has this huge personality with so much energy. She loves dancing and drawing and is very sociable and outgoing," he added.
Marie said: "Even with all her heart problems, Caitlin never lets anything hold her back. Cheeky and charming, she developed quickly and is always giggling and smiling."
Steve's next race is the Bank of Scotland Great Scottish Run in Glasgow on October 6. He has already raised nearly £9500 through charity runs and his employer, Standard Life, have promised to match every pound raised up to £10,000.
"I've run four half-marathons and two 10ks so far – quite an achievement for someone who only managed
50 kilometres last year," said Steve.
"It was the only way I could think of to try to repay, in a small way, what the staff at Yorkhill Hospital have done for Caitlin.
"They are truly inspirational people who carry out miracles every day and we will be forever thankful for what they have done for Caitlin and for our family."
Marie, who is expecting her second child in March 2014, said: "It has been difficult. But we have so much support from family and friends and everyone at Yorkhill is fantastic at reassuring us.
"There are so many families at Yorkhill who are going through much worse than us. Seeing Caitlin so lively, well and normal makes us realise just how lucky we are."

Churchill China Cooks Up New Jamie Oliver Collection
March 24, 2010,
Jamie Oliver
NEW YORK-Churchill China has launched its Jamie Oliver tabletop collection just in time for the debut of the celebrity's new television program on ABC.
The collection was unveiled at the Ambiente fair in Frankfurt last month and at the International Home + Housewares Show last week. It includes two new dinnerware patterns since the company acquired the Jamie Oliver license last spring and dovetails with the premiere on Friday of the celebrity chef's new ABC television show, "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution."
Oliver's new dinnerware is designed to encourage home cooks to feel comfortable putting a meal on the table. "Home cooked, knarly comfort food is what's in," said the chef in an interview with HFN in Frankfurt, and the two new patterns that bear his name--Keeping It Simple earthenware and Fluted Blue stoneware--are meant to make the home chef "look good."
Attributes of the program include multi-functional pieces, ease of use, easy storage and durability. Oliver said he uses Jamie Oliver White in his own restaurant, and "thrash[es] the crap out of it."
"This stuff is pretty tough," he said.

What is it? How is it different than a pastry arts degree, I am assuming there is a huge difference.
Long story short I have two young kids at home and really do the full program anytime soon. I heard a community college near me had a program but now I see it is only for a certificate in pastry arts. What will that allow me to do?
Any help is greatly appreciated. I want to get started in something soon
A certificate in pastry allows you to take any of the courses offered in the degree or all of them but you are not required to take the basics such as english, math, etc which are req. for the degree. The training is the same just less credits and therefore less expensive. I chose to go the degree route in case I decide to pursue further education such as a BS degree later and also cause it looks better in the eyes of an employer. If you want the training just for the experience or for self employment than the certificate is fine. hth
I did the certificate course and it was basically the pastry courses without the other academic classes. I didn't want a full culinary course because all I wanted was to eventually do cakes, and I already had a MA so I wasn't going to go through all of the academic stuff again anyway. The certificate gives you the kitchen sanitation and basic kitchen skills, then lets you concentrate on just the pastry side of it. I'm also a picky eater, so I didn't want to have to do a bunch of classes where I might have to eat a green pepper or something even more heinous!
Thanks for the input guys! I am embarassed to say I had no idea a pastry art degree required classes like math etc. I thought it was just the pastry part. I have to look into the certificate more, do I need the full program to work in a bakery? Thats all I really want to start out anyway. Any help appreciated Thanks!
Sue, you might not need any of it to "work in a bakery". I went through the certificate program, and I LOVED it. I highly recommend doing it, but it is expensive, and having a certificate/degree may or may not help you in getting a job at as a decorator. Many of the big name guys never went to culinary school.
Everyone else has already told you but which school are you planning on attending. I myself am trying to find a way to go to get my AA at the Culinary Institute of America Greystone. Just have to figure out afterschool daycare for about two hours for my kindergardener. Wishing you luck!
I'm planning to take the certificate program at the community college here once my littlest kiddo is in kindergarten. I only need one more semester to get the two-year degree but I don't feel like taking any math classes after this many years out of school, and I really only want to do the baking stuff.
Spot on with the advice. I have a certificate and an AA in culinary skills and business management. I plan on going back and getting a pastry possibly. However, I always get weird looks since I work as a pastry chef.
Good luck in school, I'm sure you'll love it.
I am also doing the Pastry/Baking Cert. program. I've done my Servsafe class and Menu Management class, but get to be knee deep in flour starting tomorrow.
I'm so nervous. I havent done this college thing in 10 yrs. But my pastry kit and chef coat is ready to go, just need to get my backpack packed.
The cert program works for me b/c I have 1 kid in 1st grade and 1 in preschool and this allows me to do nights and still be home w/them during the day.
Good Luck!
Good luck and have fun!!

LGA775 installation is very straightforward with the BigTyp 14Pro CPU cooler. First, attach the LGA775 mounting bracket, using the four screws provided. Next, place the cooler on the motherboard, and invert the motherboard. With the screws protruding through the motherboard, attach the washers and caps. That's all there is to it.
Weighing in at 800g, the BigTyp 14Pro is sure to put strain on your motherboard. I would have liked to see a back-plate included with the cooler for greater stability. It's also a bit awkward how the motherboard and cooler must be inverted to affix the cooler. This requires keeping the two pieces together as they are turned and holding them together while the caps are screwed down. A more sensible solution would have a back-plate, and screws installed from the front.
As we have seen in all of the previous pictures, the BigTyp 14Pro is a very large cooler. Because of conflicts with motherboard cooling, the heat-pipes can only be angled sideways, leaving only two identical orientations for installing the cooler. In this orientation, however, the fan-mount and heat-pipes conflict with my RAM, requiring that the RAM be installed in a single-channel configuration, in the far two slots on the motherboard.
Once installed on the motherboard, the plastic fan-mount still conflicts with the case. After a small bit of modification (removing a bit of the fan bracket), I was able to finagle the whole assembly into the case. The BigTyp Pro14 again surprises me because the case in use is a Lian-Li PC-A77, one of the most spacious and standard cases on the market. If the cooler cannot fit in the PC-A77 factory-direct, I'm surprised it fits in any other standard tower, especially mid-sized towers.
Now that we've had a look at the BigTyp 14Pro and tossed it in the case, let's test it out.

Last season on "True Blood," Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) disappeared into fantasyland while her longtime beau, Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) was in the fight of his life against the Vampire Queen Sophie-Anne (Evan Rachel Wood) as penance for betraying Sookie. And it looks like the couple won't be getting back together any time soon in the new season.
[Bill's] betrayal [of Sookie] is so deep that I don't think she sees a way back from that," said Ball at last weekend's "True Blood" panel at the Paley Fest (via TVLine) "I do think for them to get back together, it's a journey. It's not going to happen fast."
As for Bill's rival, Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård) has his own problems, when he turns up suddenly without any memory of who he is. And presumably after crossing the wrong witch…
"Things are definitely not stable for Eric," added Skarsgård. "He doesn't know who he is anymore. He's very lost." However, the actor was very coy when asked if Eric's condition would finally send him into the arms of Sookie as it did in Charlaine Harris's fourth Sookie Stackhouse novel, "Dead To The World."
Ball also hinted that Eric's master Godric (Allan Hyde) will return for flashback appearances again, with new guest stars Gary Cole and Fiona Shaw also coming on board. It was also broadly assumed that Denis O'Hare might eventually return as the deranged (and fan favorite) Vampire King, Russel Edgington. Ball admitted that "We specifically made a choice not to kill him," during last season's finale. He also made it clear that Russell would seek his revenge on Eric when the time comes.
While several of the other supporting characters may have new romantic entanglements, Ball also joked that the general rule of "True Blood" was "[Characters] can only be happy for one episode."
The fourth season of "True Blood" debuts this summer on HBO.

While the Longhorns (10-12, 2-7) brought the effort with them on the road this time, it was the same story on a different day against West Virginia (11-11, 4-5). Texas held a lead at one point early in the game, got really sluggish on offense, came all the way back to take a two-point lead late in the second half, and then turned the basketball over and struggled too much down the stretch on offense. WVU, despite fouling Sheldon McClellan twice on three-point shots with under 15 seconds left, held on to beat the Horns 60-58. Here are 10 thoughts after the game:
1) After Julien Lewis knocked down a three-pointer with 4:38 left to give Texas a 55-54 lead, it failed to score a field goal the rest of the game, and managed just four points the rest of the way, which came at the free throw line after West Virginia managed to foul McClellan attempting a trey twice in the final seconds.
Once Javan Felix (12 points, seven assists) got hot from the floor thanks to his mid-range game off the pick-and-roll, WVU made the adjustment to start trapping him when he was in a pick-and-roll situation. Then, the Mountaineers went to a 1-3-1 zone down the stretch, and it left the Longhorns totally befuddled.
While Rick Barnes did do things at times like getting the big man to slip the screen from the pick-and-roll, the Longhorns didn't adjust or execute against the change in defense down the stretch. Instead, Demarcus Holland, who actually played pretty well, was left shooting three-pointers or contested jumpers at the end of the shot clock.
2) If you're a Texas fan looking for some positives, the Longhorns limited West Virginia to just six offensive rebounds while they racked up 17 on their own. And there were stretches when Texas turned over WVU (16 total) often, which led to some fast break points against a team that hardly ever turns it over. Also, Texas' effort and fight this game was much better than the last time it played a road game.
3) It was an up-and-down game for McClellan. On one hand, I think he showed some of his best effort of the year on the glass (eight rebounds). On the other hand, his catch-and-shoot skills were poor including multiple times when he was fading away from the rim instead of squaring himself up. He led UT with 14 points, but shot just 2-of-10 from the floor.
4) Holland's defense was extremely disruptive as the freshman grabbed three steals and five rebounds. His only bucket came when he pump faked a defender at the perimeter and got all the way to the rim for a dunk. That's what he needs to try to do on offense - attack. Again, while he has the confidence to fire it when he's open, he's just not a good enough shooter right now to take that shot early in the shot clock. It became too easy for WVU to trap Felix against a screen up top and leave Holland open when the two were together on the floor.
5) Once again, the Horns let West Virginia get looks at the rim too often and put them on the free throw line too often. WVU attempted just 39 field goal attempts all game, but hit on 20-of-29 free throw attempts. Texas' defense got spread out too often which allowed for open looks to bigs in the paint and mid-range jumpers.
6) A game after the big men really made an impact for Texas, I didn't think it got much from Connor Lammert, Prince Ibeh, and Cameron Ridley. Jaylen Bond had a couple of moments when he stood out, and Ioannis Papapetrou flashed at times. But Texas needs more than 15 points in the paint, and that includes the guards as well.
By the way, film session for anyone that defended Deniz Kilici won't be fun. A guy that is a 43-percent shooter from the floor (as a big man) did whatever he wanted with 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting.
7) Speaking of Ridley, I can't figure out what Texas is doing with him. The freshman played just eight minutes tonight after starting the game and the second half. I understand the idea of going small or sticking with something that is working at the time, but your most talented big man probably needs more than eight minutes.
8) Only three Texas players attempted a free throw, and only McClellan attempted more than two. If you take away the two silly fouls committed by WVU at the end of the game, the Horns would have attempted just 10 free throws. That's not going to win you games when you're a team that shoots under 40 percent most nights.
9) Tonight would have been a good night for Myck Kabongo to make an impact late. You can't really double a guy that fast and talented off a pick-and-roll. He'll return after just one more game.
10) Barnes' woes in close games continue. While the players need to execute and make plays down the stretch, you shouldn't be swept in the regular season by a team as bad as West Virginia because it finds a way to win close games down the stretch and you don't.

I was sad to be the only one posting in the last round. I'm aware that many people don't like my topics and that most of those who do prefer to lurk and never bother to post. The whole Wii U board is in total chaos, what with all these insecure high schoolers flooding it with defamation. I've seen pubescent kids making the same defamatory topics over and over again and I've even seen some making fun of autism. Mature adults are left wondering what the moderators are doing and how we're supposed to filter the board if we can't put more than 50 users, including alternate accounts, on our ignore list.
I can give you advice on how to deal with the cockroaches. Normally you'd want to capture them and put them in a bag but the latter has the capacity to hold only 50 of these insects and it's impossible to get a larger one like in The Legend of Zelda. Instead of putting them all in the bag on sight, consider tagging them for later review. To tag a cockroach, use Z-Targeting (or L-Targeting if you're playing with a GameCube controller) to lock on it and you should see its name while doing so, now select the name by pressing the A button and a menu should pop up. If you look on the right, you should see the tag function, click on it and enter the name you want to give to your newfound cockroach. The name can be anything you want but make sure that you will later be able to recognize it. The next time you see a named cockroach, it means that you already tagged it so you shouldn't bother with it and instead focus on the other critters. Try saving your bag for big and shiny ones only. There's no point in recording the same cockroach again in your Roachdex, gotta tag 'em all only once.
Remember, don't bother running after named cockroaches, just leave them be and focus on the unnamed critters. If one appears, just run away, there's no point in fighting it because you can't kill it. You can't even make it faint, only gym leaders can but it's always temporary as it will always come back later. Only on some very rare and special circumstances will a tagger from the Elite Four remove a cockroach from the metagame but even that is not permanent because it's always possible for one to come back by reincarnating into another cockroach.
I'd like to turn this series of polls into a sanctuary for all cockroach taggers like me, a place to talk in piece about life, the universe and everything, well as long as it's related to the Wii U. I can't guarantee you that some cockroaches won't try to sneak their way here but as cockroach taggers it will be easy for us to deal with them. You may even consider putting them in your bag since those who do come here are most likely to be big and shiny ones. As cockroach taggers, we're nomads and always on the move so we won't be staying here all the time, we'll keep moving and building our sanctuary elsewhere.

Hmm, this was a tough decision for me to make. I love Star Fox and Zelda, but if I had to choose between the two I'd choose Zelda over Star Fox. That leaves me with the decision between Zelda and Chrono Break. I played a lot of Trigger on DS, but things fell apart once I got close to the end (at least, I think it was close to the end. Never actually beat the game). It wasn't exactly that I didn't know what to do (I figured I could go into that thing which I believe was called the
All that aside, I loved what I played. I rather liked the time-travel idea, and the music, art direction, and pretty much everything else was great. However, as I haven't beaten it or played it's sequel (or whatever Cross is) I feel I shouldn't vote for it. I could probably get away with voting for it, but since there's the option for a Zelda game, I felt I should probably vote for that. However, it seems that my vote won't make too much of a difference as Break is winning as I post this. Really, I would like all of the games, but I think I want Zelda a little more than the others.
But once I finish Trigger and play Cross, my opinion on the matter may change. If Cross is as good as Trigger I very well may value a sequel to those to over a Zelda title.

I suddenly remembered that the game supposedly had multiple endings, which I had no clue how to get. I'm going to restart the game and use a guide soon, though, so I'll finally be able to finish the game.
That's a very bad idea because most endings can only be gotten in New Game +. One ending involves beating the final boss before going into the first portal and that's impossible in a plain new game, not because you don't have the stats but because you can't even make the portal to the final boss appear. Just beat the game on a blind run then check a guide for the endings as you play on NG+. All endings you get will be recorded in a gallery.
By the way, Cross is a sequel to Trigger but takes place in 1020 AD, actually twenty years after the main time period of Chrono Trigger. It technically takes place after the events of the original but some of the events in the latter haven't actually taken place yet. Instead of time traveling, Chrono Cross focuses on parallel words. Something important happened at some point and the timeline was split in two, with both following a different result. The game is awesome but some people complained about how it's not a direct sequel and that some things don't make much sense. The DS version of Chrono Trigger has some stuff added that make the connection between it and Chrono Cross more clear.

The Paradise Community Village is changing the face of low-income housing.
"For me, when I come here, it doesn't look like affordable housing at all. It's extraordinary," said Town of Paradise Mayor Tim Titus.
Indeed, the housing complex's bright colors and secluded neighborhood are in stark contrast to the low-income housing stereotype.
The housing project has been about 10 years in the making, said Kris Zappettini, the Rental Housing Program Manager with the Community Housing Improvement Program, one of the partners in the project.
"We went from flat paper to these beautifully designed structures," she said. "It's a wonderful residential community and this is going to be something that will last in Paradise for years to come."
There are 36 units in the housing project, she said, 12 one-bedroom, 12 two-bedroom and 12 three-bedroom units, each coming with a year-long lease. An onsite manager resides in one of the three-bedroom units. The household sizes can vary from individuals to families, Zappettini said. As of now, the village is fully occupied. She said a lot of tenacity, belief, trust, financing and collaboration went into making the community village a reality.
"It took an enormous amount of energy, but it was worth it in the end," she said. The village also puts the town in compliance with the federal government's affordable housing requirements, she said.
Titus said a portion of the grants received from the federal government came with an affordable housing element. Meeting the affordable housing standards gives the town access to more funds for other projects, he said.
"The federal government requires that we have so much affordable housing," he said. "This meets that requirement for now and in the future, which is a great blessing for us."
Nicole Ledford, one of the project managers, said the biggest challenge was the unlevel ground they were building on. The ground toward the back of the construction site was higher than it was toward the front, she said. They had to do a lot of excavation to get the ground relatively level.
"We were just talking about how every building is actually at a different height throughout the site," she said, adding that designers had to make the sidewalks, the landscaping and other features tie together.
"It was an amazingly difficult site, but it was a pleasure to work with our team," she said.
Titus is also happy to have CHIP managing the facility. He said the town was assured it would not have the same type of problems that afflict low-income housing in big cities. Historically, CHIP has managed their facilities well, he added.
"They keep (the facilities) up to date and make sure the rules are being followed. It's their reputation on the line as well," he said.
He said residents have to agree to certain standards, such as no smoking inside the units, no loud music, and no working on vehicles in the parking lot, before they are allowed to live at the facility.
Onsite manager Janell Boirie said she and the project's residents are proud of their little community village. It is nicely designed and decorated, she said.
"I have found there are a lot of Paradise residents who are looking for an affordable place to live that's nice and safe," she said, adding that the grounds are equipped with security cameras for extra safety.
She said there is a waiting list for residency. While all the units are full right now, Boirie said applicants can still turn in applications. When it's time to look for a new renter, she goes through the applications in the order they are given to her.
The Paradise Community Village is a joint effort of agencies including the Town of Paradise, CHIP, Youth for Change, Paradise Unified School District and the Paradise Recreation and Park District. The project was originally conceived with a skate park, soccer fields, a school and other ideas. But when the economy collapsed in 2008, those ideas fell by the wayside.
Though there are only 36 units in the facility, Titus said the village was meant to expand with the need as federal and state funding becomes available. Ultimately, the project is the fulfillment of part of a dream, he said, adding that he hopes the village will be the catalyst for fulfilling the rest of the dream. He was also proud that the village looked not only livable, but inviting.
"When you hear 'low-income housing,' don't make the mistake that I made and assume it's like the stuff you see on TV or in Sacramento," he said. "Come over here behind the bowling alley. Drive through and take a look, because it certainly gives a different impression of what low-income housing is. It really gives a sense of pride to the people who live here. They have something to be proud of and it doesn't look like just a box."

Who's got Flying Weather?
I had flying weather this mourning so i decided to fly my Christen Eagle.
I put her up above the trees about 60 or 70 ft. and while circling the field a big bird of some kind darted right up to the plane and gave it a quick look and then darted away just as fast. Well anyway i had 2 nice lazy flights with her and 2 not so good landings.
So who else had flying weather this mourning?
Beautiful morning here, batteries charged, time to head outside and get some stick time in!!
It's been dead calm the last few evenings here... so, Air Hog action in the front yard waiting for supper!
Not so good today... drizzle T storms roaming around, windy... and thats all because I had the Rascal, the GWS A-10 and the Sky Scooters all charged and ready to go!!!
Maybe tomorrow:{
Monday started this week's trend, and it is expected to be carbon-copies thru Saturday at least; High in the mid 80's, mostly sunny, (hardly any clouds, in fact), with mostly easterly winds 5-10mph. For what more could anyone ask? Can't wait to go flying tonight!
Anyone need some water? We had tornado warnings and sirens going off Sunday evening along with a gentle shower that dropped almost 11" of rain in 24 hours. Monday, Sun came out for 1 hour then more rain. Yesterday, 2 1/4" more rain in 3 hours. We have had over 16" of rain this month and almost 13" of it was in the past 48 hours. Needless to say there is nothing dry here. Lots of flooding, highways closed, bridges out and mud everywhere. I've never had water under my house but spent all afternoon yesterday pumping 6" of water from my crawl space. Flying? What is this you speak of?
Yesterday was awesome. I hit the field at about 7:30 AM and flew two battery packs. Partly sunny, upper 60's, light breezes to about 4mph max.
I love mornings like that. :)
You guys are making me feel ill.
always good here in Florida
Great to be retired in Florida.
We fly every day as the rain only lasts an hour when it comes.
Go ahead... Enjoy! ...singing...'rain drops keep fallin on my head'...
... at least it's only drizzle here (for now)...Grasshopper! Hang in there!
Ahh.....the eternal optimist! You're probably right Kev. Actually it is sunny right now. We'll see how long it lasts. I think it will be just enough to get the humidity up to 250% and help all the mosquito larvae hatch faster.
Just trying to help, Buddy!
You are always welcome up here for pulled pork and flight time! :)
Hey there Grasshopper, you got some pontoons?Just kidding
Hey Grasshopper,
Its been crazy windy here for the last couple of weeks...:{
Hey Tom...
That sounds like a 'Moral Imperative' to me!!! ;-)
Heck, even if you didn't spell it right, I sure wouldn't know. And you're right, I think I have to get one now.
you could always branch into RC boats.....LOL
Talked to my mom, she's in Broken Arrow OK, and she was telling me the same sob story about all the rain.....<snicker> I thought of you as she mentioned it.
Boats aren't any fun. They don't crash as nice.
Good point Tom....
Another nice mourning to fly so took the UB out and put her up for a nice easy flight and good landing. The foam eating JackPines did not get a chance to grab her as i stayed far away from them.
This evening was still calm so i put the Christen Eagle up again and good flight with no curious Birds around.
Hope for more good calm weather in the mourning.
Happy Flying Guys
Grasshopper, The only way to really make that rain stop is to buy a set of floats....I can see you now sitting on your porch plane (with Floats) in hand saying come on RAIN!!!Guaranteed never to rain again.;-):ws:

Here we go, the right is pulling a Susan Rice on Chuck Hagel and will stop at nothing to defeat his nomination for Defense Secretary. The reality is that won't work. He will be confirmed. It's amazing that the Republicans are willing to turn on one of their own, someone who was held in such high esteem. It's interesting to see that now Democrats are going after Chuck Hagel.
The New York Times: "A brand new conservative group calling itself Americans for a Strong Defense and financed by anonymous donors is running advertisements urging Democratic senators in five states to vote against Chuck Hagel, President Obama's nominee to be secretary of defense."
"Another freshly minted and anonymously backed organization, Use Your Mandate, which presents itself as a liberal gay rights group but purchases its television time through a prominent Republican firm, is attacking Mr. Hagel as 'anti-Gay,' 'anti-woman' and 'anti-Israel' in ads and mailers."
"Those groups are joining at least five others that are organizing to stop Mr. Hagel's confirmation, a goal even they acknowledge appears to be increasingly challenging. But the effort comes with a built-in consolation prize should it fail: depleting some of Mr. Obama's political capital as he embarks on a new term with fresh momentum."

The thousands of people packed into Boardwalk Hall on Friday to see the sold-out Beyonce concert will look back years from now and remember the epic night they experienced in Atlantic City.
Beyonce, who performed in the 14,000-capacity arena in the hall for the first time, did not put seats on the floor, which allowed for general-admission standing. This caused people to start lining up as early as 9 a.m. outside of the hall on the Boardwalk, so they could be as close to the stage as possible.
Allizey Shields, 16, of Old Bridge, Middlesex County, first arrived at 7 a.m. Friday, but saw no one in line, so she returned at 9 a.m. and started standing for a concert that would not begin until 8 p.m.
"This is my first time (seeing Beyonce live). I'm very excited. I wanted general admission tickets, to be as close as possible to her," said Shields, who was with her mother and two of her neighbors. "We love Beyonce. I remember Destiny's Child (her previous group)."
This is Beyonce's second appearance in Atlantic City in two years.
In January 2012, Beyonce gave birth to her first child, Blue Ivy Carter, with her hip-hop mogul husband, Jay Z.
Months after giving birth, Beyonce returned to the stage to perform four shows over Memorial Day weekend in the 5,000-capacity Ovation Hall during the grand opening weekend for Revel. First Lady Michelle Obama attended the second of the four sold-out shows with her daughters Sasha and Malia.
The singer did not take the stage before Press deadline Friday night.
Jose Gutierrez, 22, of Vineland, was standing in line operating on very little sleep waiting to enter the arena to see Beyonce, one of the biggest selling recording artists of all time.
Gutierrez spent four hours creating a sign spelling out Beyonce's name in red glitter with a cardboard backing. Gutierrez was so excited that he only slept for four hours before he had to head to work at an immigration attorney's office in Bridgeton.
"I'm a big fan. I had to come," said Gutierrez, who spent $560 to buy two tickets through stubhub.com for him and his cousin, Elianet Reyes, 26, also of Vineland.
Beyonce, 31, billed her concert as "The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour." The tour started April 15 in Serbia and ends Dec. 20 in Boston. Boardwalk Hall was the 20th stop on the North American leg. The tour includes 100 shows - 35 in Europe, nine in Latin America, 13 in Australia and 43 in North America.
Veronica Pozas, 24, lives in the Virgin Islands, but is spending this summer in her hometown of Boston. Pozas could have seen Beyonce in Boston, but she decided to make a vacation out of it and came to Atlantic City with her friend, Devin Youngclaus, 23, also of Boston. Pozas estimated they spent $800 for the whole trip, including tickets to the show and two nights at the Golden Nugget Hotel.
"Her music is amazing. Her dancing is amazing. She spans generations, like Aretha Franklin and Ella Fitzgerald," said Pozas, who added her parents are musicians. "It's worth every cent. … This will be my one show for the whole year. It's an investment."
