For nearly a decade, Taco Bus has proudly delivered a healthy, fresh, authentic Mexican taste experience to our Tampa fans. Just one bite of a burrito, tostada, ensalada or quesadilla, and your taste buds will be singing traditional Mexican folk songs. The word "quality" falls miserably short in its attempt to describe the Taco Bus commitment to doing everything better, from gluten free and vegan offerings, to the freshest, tastiest, crunchiest flavors on four wheels. The textures will enchant, the fresh baked Telera rolls beckon, the roasted poblano breaks into song with every bite, as you are invited on a journey south, across the border.

If you've never taken a Taco Bus trip to Authentic Mexican Flavortown, it's never too late to push the outer limits of a casual, healthy, fun experience you can only get in one place.
Meet Chef Rene
You may have seen Taco Bus on the Food Network, the Travel Channel and the Cooking Channel, but the national spotlight was a long time coming. Chef and restaurateur Rene Valenzuela likes to say Taco Bus is one of those "overnight successes that was 30 years in the making."
At 9 years old, while other kids were playing marbles or soccer, Valenzuela was busy making and selling his own tacos at a farmer's market in his native Mexico. By college, he was running a taqueria in El Centrito, the Ybor City of Monterrey. He soon followed the food business to the United States in 1994 and brought his love of Mexican street fare with him to Tampa in 1996.

Heritage of A San Diego Historic Hotel
There's no better way to celebrate our 51st anniversary than taking a look back at our island's storied history. Today marks the day when Paradise Point Resort & Spa first opened its doors in 1962 as Vacation Village, the fantasy-island resort where individuals could escape reality. Even though our historic San Diego hotel has undergone many changes over the years, we've made a point to preserve its original award-winning architecture and notable artifacts.
There's a lot to explore across Paradise Point's 44 acres, but for a glimpse into this historic hotel in San Diego's past, don't miss these five highlights of our heritage:
BAREFOOT BAR & GRILL – Constructed at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, this San Diego restaurant was originally built to double as a bunker. Frequent patrons joked the restaurant was a place you could "get drunk, but not bombed!"
MOVIE SET MEMORABILIA - Paradise Point was founded by an Academy Award-winning Hollywood producer who worked on several Hitchcock films. He incorporated remnants of movie sets around our historic hotel in San Diego, including the porpoise fountain near the lobby (Cleopatra) and ornate doorway masonry.
LOBBY - Mission Beach's famous Giant Dipper rollercoaster served as the inspiration for the wavy roof of the lobby building, originally home to a restaurant that also had an amusement park theme: The Carousel Room.
OBSERVATION TOWER – A guest favorite, our iconic observation tower stands above the lobby at 70 feet tall. Breathtaking 360° views of our historic hotel and the city of San Diego can be seen from the top. The crowning wire sculpture was designed by the architect's daughter as a tribute to the red-eared slider turtles that can be found in the hotel lagoons.
ORIGINAL MISSION BELLS – Scattered across the grounds of our historic San Diego hotel is the country's largest collection of original El Camino Real bells. These bells were brought to San Diego in 1914 to line the famed 700-mile-long highway that connected California's 21 missions. Can you find all eight?

Teachers in training at Mount Saint Mary College are sharpening
their techniques early on through a video series spearheaded by
professors David Gallagher and Matt Hollibush, of the Mount's
Collaborative for Equity in Literacy Learning (CELL).
The series, which demonstrates how to use various kinds of
instruction, appears on YouTube and the Mount Saint Mary College
website. It was filmed at the Bishop Dunn Memorial School in
"Video is incredibly important for helping people see the
implementation of strategies," explained Gallagher, who hopes
students from many colleges will utilize the films.
"Viewers get a window into a great classroom, with real students
and real teachers."
The sessions focus mainly on literacy strategies, including
writing and comprehension techniques and read-alouds. Literacy is
important in all areas of education, notes Gallagher.
General techniques, such as reciprocal teaching, are also
explained and demonstrated.
"We want to focus on best practices," Hollibush explained. "We
can use the videos to critique what teachers are doing well, and
what can be improved."
Watching the videos can help students prepare for the new
Teacher Performance Assessment (edTPA) guidelines, said
"I think it will definitely help students build reflective
skills on teaching," he explained. "The instruction in the videos
is also connected to the Common Core, which we are preparing our
students to teach towards."
Mount Saint Mary College education professors also provide a
number of additional advantages to their students. They recently
collaborated on a trio of conferences aimed at teachers,
pre-service professionals, and students.
At Family Literacy Night – provided by CELL at the Newburgh
Armory Unity Center – close to 300 local children of all ages and
their families were enthralled by a variety of activities,
including storytelling workshops, poetry stations, bilingual books,
and literature-inspired performances from Mount education
professors and students. Speakers included literacy expert Patricia
A. Edwards, professor of language and literacy in the department of
teacher education at Michigan State University; and Laconia
Therrio, professional storyteller.
Other CELL programs include Mount "book clubs" offered at the
Newburgh Armory Unity Center. College volunteers help their young
students to explore books that reflect various cultural backgrounds
and interests of the Newburgh community. Children actively share
their own ideas and stories as well.
In "Engaging Challenging Youth with Children's and Young Adult
Literature," students from the Mount and other area colleges
explored the educational use of graphic novels with "comics"-like
illustration; children's and young adult literature; art
conversations; drama and reader's theater; writing; poetry; blogs;
choral reading; and hip-hop.
Guest presenters included Karen Romano Young, author of many
children's and young adult books and graphic novels; Merle Rumble,
author of "I Too Have a Voice: Black Boys Engaging with Literature
Depicting Black Males"; Wendy Gladstone-Brown, assistant professor
of teacher education at Marist College; and Jane Gangi, associate
professor of education at Mount Saint Mary College and author of
"Genocide in Children's and Young Adult Literature: Cambodia to
A collaborative effort among MSMC, Marist and New Paltz faculty,
CELL, and the Mount chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, the conference was
sponsored by the Association of New York State Educators of
Emotionally Disturbed (ANYSEED). The Mount's Carolyn Brauer and
Jennifer Wutz prepared and facilitated for the event.
The 21st Annual Conference on Literacy at the Mount examined the
ways families, communities, and schools meet the literacy needs of
all students. The keynote speakers were writer/ illustrator Bryan
Collier, whose works include "Knock, Knock: My Dad's Dream for Me,"
the winner of the 2014 Coretta Scott King Award; and literacy
expert Patricia A. Edwards. Workshops included "Promoting Literacy
with Technology: The Potential for Parents, Teachers, and Kids to
Collaborate," "Diversifying the Common Core Text Exemplars: A
Collaboration," and "Integrating an Author's Visit into a Common
Core Based Guided Reading Lesson."
Mount Saint Mary College, 60 miles north of New York City, is
ranked a Top-Tier Regional University by U.S. News & World
Report, and offers bachelor's and master's degree programs
preparing students for careers in healthcare, business, education,
social services, communication/media and more.

Tory levvington needs a roommate. Not because she needs one, but because she's bored of being alone. When she finally finds the right roommate, things don't go as expected... "Tory." he whispered in my ear. Shivers falling down my back. "I...I can't do this." I shuddered. "But, Tory." he groaned as he slid his hands across my stomach. "Please. I don't want to..." I let out a moan as he sucked on my ear. "James..." I sighed as I melted into his hold. "I knew you couldn't resist me." he cooed. "Shut it." I said and spun around, placing my chest against his, and kissed him hard.

John Hughes has taken over as Hartlepool boss after leaving Livingston
John Hughes has departed Livingston to take over as Hartlepool first-team coach, the League One club have confirmed.
Last Updated: 13/11/12 10:31pm
The Scottish boss steps into the Victoria Park hot-seat following the resignation of Neale Cooper two weeks ago.
Former Hull City and Preston manager Phil Brown had been a front-runner for the role but Pools have gone with Hughes, who has left the Scottish First Division to take over.
Hartlepool chief executive Russ Green told the club's official website: "We're convinced we've got the right man in place to take the club forward.
"Everybody knows that this appointment was a crucial one for the club so we have taken our time, assessed our options and John is the choice we are all extremely happy with.
"He has a vision for the football club, he has a passion and a drive to succeed and we hope that the fans will be as excited as we have to have him in place."
Hughes, who has also previously managed Falkirk and Hibernian, will take charge for the first time at home to Coventry on Saturday.
Hartlepool currently sit rock-bottom of League One, having failed to win since September 1st.

Asciano has reported a net profit of $199 million for the six months to December, a 74.5 per cent increase from the previous corresponding period and beating analyst expectations of $171 million profit.
The ports and rail operator also declared an interim dividend of 5.25 cents per share, fully franked.
The company reported an operating revenue net of coal access of $1.74 billion, a 12 per cent increase from the same period the year before.
"We are particularly pleased with this result in light of the very soft first quarter market conditions across most of our businesses, which made forecasting customer demand and responding with the appropriate level of resources extremely challenging," Asciano's chief executive and managing director John Mullen said.
Asciano shares jumped 1.9 per cent to $5.35.
Profit growth was driven by significant growth in volumes in Asciano's Pacific National coal haulage business due to new contracts, the company said.
Its ports business also experienced higher volumes, as activity from the resources sector rose and a record number of cars were imported, Asciano said.
The company said it expects earnings and revenue in the second half of the 2012-13 financial year to be higher than in the same period in the previous year.
Mr Mullen said that, based on the first six weeks of trading during the second half of the financial year, the group expected to report a rise in revenue and earnings before material items.
''We continue to believe that, based on the long-term customer contracts that underwrite all four divisions, we will report long-term earnings growth in line with previous forecasts, albeit the mix and timing will be slightly different from original forecasts given the variable market conditionS,'' he said.
Asciano expects its PN Coal and Bulk & Automotive Port Services businesses to continue their strong performances, driven by new contracts, stronger regional port activity and the contribution from cargo handling unit C3 Ltd.
Improvements are also expected at the PN Rail division in the second half on the back of stronger export grain volumes.
Mr Mullen said that while current market conditions made forecasting volume growth for its Terminals & Logistics division difficult, Asciano did not expect the current flat market growth to deteriorate further.
''The division will continue to focus on the redevelopment of Port Botany and driving improved customer performance, productivity and cost reduction in general given the uncertain volume outlook at the current time,'' he said.

University of South Carolina names dean of libraries
Thomas McNally, who has served as interim dean of the University of South Carolina libraries since 2007, has been named to the post permanently.
Dr. William T. Moore, executive vice president for academic affairs and provost (interim), made the announcement Monday (Feb. 16).
McNally, who joined the libraries nearly 19 years ago as university librarian for public services, said strong libraries are essential to the university's success.
"The library plays a key role in the process of teaching, learning and research," McNally said. "We must continue to build and conserve our collections. We must work every day to develop services that keep pace with the technologies that our users are employing. We must remodel our libraries to reflect the changes in the ways our students learn and interact with one another. Each librarian we recruit must be a leader capable of creating initiatives and moving them into daily practice."
McNally earned a bachelor's degree in education from Kent State University and a master's in library science from the University of Washington. He was a librarian at Ohio State University, the University of Michigan and Loyola University in Chicago before joining the University of South Carolina's library staff in 1991. McNally served as director of Thomas Cooper Library from 2003 until he was named interim dean of libraries in 2007, replacing Paul Willis, who retired.
McNally has worked tirelessly to provide innovative library services to the university community, moving the library into the area of electronic resources and services and developing statewide partnerships and negotiating statewide database contracts.
"Tom McNally's leadership will undoubtedly enhance the well-established reputation of the USC libraries and promote the development of even stronger collections and services in support of scholarship, teaching and learning," said Dr. Deborah Jakubs, vice provost for library affairs at Duke University who has worked with McNally through the Association of Research Libraries (ARL). "His broad expertise and his dedication to collaborative approaches in addressing the most pressing library issues combine to make him an excellent choice to lead the libraries at the University of South Carolina."
For more than 200 years, the University of South Carolina libraries have grown and matured from humble beginnings in Rutledge Hall on the historic Horseshoe. Today, the collections span eight buildings and include tens of millions of items, which are viewed by more than a million visitors each year.
Beginning in 1805 with Elisha Hammond, the university libraries have been led by a distinguished group of individuals. Thomas Park led the library twice in the 1800s for a total of 20 years. In 1875, Richard Greener became the first African American to lead a major U.S. research library. Margaret Rion began the 20th century, leading the library for 12 years. The second half of the 20th century marked the greatest growth for the libraries. Alfred Rawlinson and Kenneth Toombs directed the libraries for 20 years each, with George Terry and Willis serving at the helm in the last 20 years.
"This is a time of transformation in our libraries, and I am honored and humbled to be following the footsteps of so many individuals who have done so much for our university," McNally said.

BREVARD, N.C.- Darius Moose, Dominique Pickett and Miles Leathers combined for 83 points in Brevard College's 101-90 South Atlantic Conference win over the Tusculum Pioneers in Boshamer Gymnasium on Wednesday night.
Darius Moose helped Brevard (3-8, 3-4 SAC) complete a sweep of the season series with his fourth double-double of the season, posting a career-high 33 points and tying his career-high of 18 rebounds. The redshirt junior went 10-for-15 from the field and added 12 points from the free throw line.
Not far behind in the offensive onslaught were Dominique Pickett and Miles Leathers, who added 30 and 20 points, respectively. Both shot efficiently from the floor as Pickett hit 10-of-16 shot attempts and Leathers connected on 7-of-9 attempts from the field.
Tusculum was able to cut the Tornados lead to only four points midway through the second half after the Tornados led by as many as 12 in the first half. Leathers answered TC's comeback attempt with seven straight points to turn a 63-59 lead into a 70-59 advantage with 10:50 remaining in the game.
While the Pioneers cut their deficit to single digits four times over the final 10:12 of the game, BC hit five free throws over the final 1:20 to seal the victory.
Brevard's offense surpassed the century mark for the first time this season, and shot a season-high 65.4 percent (34-for-52) from the field. BC hit 8-for-17 from beyond the arc, led by Pickett's 5-of-9 effort from three-point range.
Wil Collins dished out a game-high six assists in 25 minutes off the bench for the Tornados. Leathers also added to the cause with five assists, which tied his season-high.
The Tornados aim to make it two in a row on Saturday afternoon as they host the Catawba College Indians in Boshamer Gymnasium at 4 p.m.


text: Yesterday in court, Shield actor Michael Jace pleaded not guilty to the crime of murdering his wife. I presume that he is either going to try and get this down to some type of manslaughter or that he might try not guilty by reason of insanity, but it is pretty apparent that he killed his wife. I mean he did it in front of his kids and then called 911 and admitted it and called his father-in-law and told him the same thing. This is pretty much open and shut. Currently Jace is in jail and has not posted bail which is set at $2M. Should he ever post bond, the judge ordered him to stay away from his kids. I don't think it would be a good idea for him to get out. There is no way that ends up with him going to court quietly every day until the end of the trial.

Americans lagging in life expectancy
(Cleveland) - A new study finds Americans are living longer than they did 20 years ago, but our life expectancy still lags way behind many other countries.
And it is illness and chronic disability that are keeping the numbers down.
Dr. Mike Roizen did not take part in the study, but is the director of Cleveland Clinic's Wellness Institute.
Dr. Roizen says, "This should make us humble because we've fallen. We're in the middle, about 28th or so in the countries with both life expectancy and worsen disability rates. These are things that are going to cost us our standard of living. These are things that are going to cause rationing in health care if we don't change them."
University of Washington researchers led the study, which compared the overall health of Americans to people living in 34 other countries.
They found that life expectancy in the U.S. increased from 75.2 years in 1990 to 78.2 years in 2010, but 26 countries have higher life expectancies.
They're living longer in places like Australia, Germany, and even Iceland. But it's Japan that tops the list at 82.6 years.
"Japan has a lower smoking rate and a lower, if you will, chronic obstructive disease rate, lower heart disease rate; almost every one of the factors that is important in long-term health, they have less of," says Dr. Roizen.
Diseases like ischemic heart disease, lung cancer, and stroke account for the largest number of premature deaths in the U.S., but injuries like car and motorcycle crashes also take their toll.
Researchers do concede that although the overall health of people living in the United States did improve over the last 20 years, it did not keep pace with other wealthy nations.
Dr. Roizen says we hold the power to change all of that.
"This should be a wake-up call for each family to say what can we do as a family, what can we do as a small community to make each of us live healthier," says Dr. Roizen.
Complete findings are available online on the website of the "Journal of the American Medical Association."

Author: Thomas Burden
Burden is a senior designer at design boutique I Love Dust. He also freelances under the name Therewillbeunicorns. He likes to produce work that references the pieces of vintage tat and printed material he gets from car boot sales and junk shops. Thomas has created work for book covers, ad campaigns, music videos and magazine editorials to packaging, animations, websites, stage visuals, building projections and the entire exterior of a Beirut shopping mall.
It's easy to associate vectors with flat shapes – but creating Illustrator images with real depth needn't be a headache. In this tutorial, Thomas Burden (who works under the name ...There Will Be Unicorns) shows how you can create striking, vibrant work in Illustrator using a simple colour palette and basic blur effects – particularly Illustrator's built-in Gaussian Blur effects.
Along the way, you'll also learn how to bring simple shapes to life, and how to create charming characters and elements, using only basic Illustrator and Photoshop.
Shading elements in Illustrator with the Gaussian Blur leaves your objects completely editable. Once you've scaled these elements to the right size, you can import them into Photoshop for a quick brightening up and some tweaks to layer blending modes and styles.
The net effect is fresh, clean and irresistibly cheerful.

Nintendo Wii Sports Value Kit : Golf, Baseball and Tennis!
With Nintendo's latest Wii console gaming, their innovation is once seen again. Play golf, tennis, baseball all in the comfort of your own lounge room! And play like you've never played before --- with the Nintendo Wii Sports Value Kit, the most truly amazing feature is that the Wii console "senses" the strength at which you are wanting to hit the ball, whether that be a hard drive on the golf course, or a light putt on the green; slice the tennis ball and drop it short, or take a massive swing to drive it down the base line; console gaming has never seen such excitment or fun. In the light of Nintendo Wii, other consoles appear to have just 'stepped up' their processing power with prettier graphics, not that there is anything wrong with that; but let's face it, consoles have needed a facelift since the N64; Nintendo Wii has brought that revolution, a revolution that all owners will want a Nintendo Wii Sports Value Kit, to play outdoor sport-games indoors; as an aside... for an FPS gamer... I hear that the Nunchuck makes FPS games just that little bit "real-er".
*Nintendo Wii, Nintendo Nunchuck, Nintendo Remote Controller sold seperately.
Features of the Nintendo Wii Sports Value Kit:
- Pack includes 3-in-1, Golf club, Baseball bat, and Tennis Racket.
- Simple "plug-and-play" with your Wii console.
- Adds to the real-feel of playing a sports game, in the comfort of your own lounge room.

New York (May 29, 2013) -- There's no contest when it comes to the preference of chocolate… milk chocolate rules this confectionery battleground. However, dark chocolate just might be creeping up in popularity. The latest research from Mintel reveals that for just more than half (51%) of all adult consumers the favorite type of plain chocolate is milk chocolate, followed by 35% who favor dark chocolate and 8% who prefer white chocolate. In contrast, Mintel's 2011 report found that 57% of consumers favored milk chocolate and 33% of consumers preferred dark chocolate.
"The progressively better understood health benefits of dark chocolate may be increasing its popularity as more consumers are looking for indulgent foods that can serve multiple functions such as nutrition or convenience," says Sarah Day Levesque, food analyst at Mintel. "An exception to the pattern of milk chocolate being the consumer favorite is among consumers aged 55+ who are more likely to favor dark chocolate, most likely because they are seeking added nutritional benefits."
Some 46% of men age 55+ and 48% of women over age 55 favor dark chocolate, followed by 38% of men that prefer milk and 40% of women that also prefer milk. These numbers are indicative of the trend toward the increasing favor for dark chocolate. Indeed, 73% of all chocolate consumers are aware that dark chocolate is healthier.
The chocolate confectionery market has fared seemingly well in a lagging economy, growing 19% from 2007 to 2012. This growth can be attributed to consumers' demand for affordable luxuries or indulgence, as well as the foodie culture that has increased interest in premium, high-quality and artisanal varieties of chocolate. However, due to countering trends, Mintel expects slow growth for the chocolate confectionery category in the next five years, with sales growing 15% from 2012 to 2017.
"As the economy recovers ever-so-slowly, consumer demand for the affordable indulgence that chocolate provides is expected to remain and interest in chocolate as part of the larger food culture will continue. However, obesity, the dark cloud that looms over this category and many other indulgent categories, and related health risks will remain a concern for many consumers and present challenges to increasing category sales," adds Sarah Day Levesque.
When deciding to purchase chocolate, some 89% of consumers buy chocolate as a treat or reward and 87% buy it as a snack option. Meanwhile, 83% of consumers look carefully at the size of chocolate candy packages to determine the best value for the money and 72% buy chocolate as a way to improve their mood or provide an energy boost.

Beaten Back
Thor Hushovd found himself slipping out the back of the peloton on the hot and hilly Stage One.
A Hard Chase
Cannondale Pro Cycling moved to the front following the final KOM to reel in the breakaway, but limited team members available for the chase and there was little help for Peter Sagan at the end.
Ahead of the Pack
Lieuwe Westra wins Stage One ahead of Francisco Mancebo and a charging peloton in Escondido, CA.
A Winning Grin
Following his victory, Lieuwe Westra was all smiles on his way to the podium.

Topic: Taonga Maori at Te Papa
Is part of topic Te Papa's Collections
The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa has over 30,000 taonga (cultural treasures) registered in the Taonga Māori Collection.
This spans a diverse range of material, from the most highly prized tribal taonga - such as ancestral carvings, personal ornaments, garments, and weaponry - to 'worked' material such as fragments of flaked stone from archaeological excavations, bird bone, mammal bones, and shell.
Included in the collection is contemporary Māori visual culture that reflects our most current ideas about cultural identity, continuity, and change.
That 'Te Papa Acknowledges Mana Taonga' is one of six corporate principles informing the philosophy of Te Papa. Mana Taonga is a recognition of the power of taonga to communicate deep truths about our people.
Te Papa also 'recognises the role of communities in enhancing the care and understanding of collections and taonga.' Taonga in this sense embraces any cultural items of significance or value.
The Mana Taonga principle guides our direction and approach to access and research.
An important aspiration of the team who care for these objects is the reconnection of people to their tribal taonga. Another goal is, in its broadest sense, the reclamation of Māori knowledge, language, and customs.

Steelers running backs Rashard Mendenhall and Jonathan Dwyer were both limited participants during Thursday's practice. For Mendenhall, it's the same track he followed on Wednesday. He has been dealing with Achilles tendon soreness for a few weeks now. Today's activity represents Dwyer's first practice action of the week after he sat out on Wednesday, as expected, to rest his strained right quad. Right now, Dwyer is expected to be available for Sunday's game versus the Giants. Mendenhall's status is much more up in the air.
Fantasy Analysis:
For what it''s worth, Dwyer said he will play in this game. If it's only Dwyer and Isaac Redman in the Steelers' backfield this weekend, I'd be OK rolling with Dwyer as a flex against the Giants. A hearty number of beat writers don't expect Mendenhall to play, but If all three of them are active, it's a messy situation that you should avoid. Mendenhall shouldn't be in any fantasy lineups until he proves that he's over his latest injury.

INTERVIEW: Henrix at Electric Zoo
Miami-based producer/DJ Henrix has been turning up the heat in dance music. Releasing two huge tracks this year "Hit It" and "Jumangee" - which have been supported by guys like Steve Angello - plus a busy summer of touring, he still has more up his sleeve.
We caught up with Henrix at Electric Zoo in New York City, after he played his set on the main stage. He told us about his new track "Raverz," who he looks up to in the industry, revealed he has more new music on the way (which he played in his set), and of course, talked NBA champs the Miami Heat!
How was playing on the main stage?
It's amazing, you know. It's my first time at Electric Zoo, so playing the main stage is an honor!
How's your summer going?
Good. A lot of traveling, a lot of touring. This month, I'm actually taking some time off to get in more studio work. It's been five hectic months, nonstop, and I haven't had a weekend off since before WMC. So, it's been crazy. I can't complain, you know. But, starting next month it's gonna be just touring again, hard. So, looking forward to it. A bunch, [in the] US, Canada, I'm going to Mexico. It's gonna be crazy.
You're no stranger to New York, opening up Governor's Island with Hardwell, Dyro, and Audien? How did you like playing with those guys?
This is my third time here. That was amazing. That was actually my first big New York gig. There was just energy. It's crazy. In New York, the energy is just crazy as it is. It's one of my favorite cities to play at.
I went on tour with Dyro in April right after WMC. It was me, him and Bassjackers. We went on tour together [and] Dyro became a good friend of mine. We were on tour for like about two or three weeks. Hardwell's, you know, I know him too. It was just awesome to play with them. Especially Hardwell, you know, a guy I really look up to, you know, his music and everything.
Tell us about your track "Raverz?"
Yes! I can't talk about it too much. But yeah, Steve [Angello] has been playing it. It should be released, hopefully, I think by the end of this year. Hopefully! You never know. But, yeah, I'm looking forward to it. It's also gonna be a little different than what's out right now. We got some melody going on, but the good thing is that Steve is supporting it and that's the main priority for me.
It seems like he supports a lot of your stuff. Is he a little bit of a mentor to you?
Yeah, yeah. He's a nice guy and everything I sent him and he'll tell me some feedback, and if he likes it, he will play it. He's helped me a lot. I [have] already released two songs on his label which is "Hit It" and "Jumanjee." Laidback Luke is also like someone like that to me. So, yeah, they're kinda someone I look up to and help me out, and everything, so. Yeah, definitely!
In honor of being here at Electric Zoo, you gave away a song to your fans "Heat." Is that an ode to your city, Miami?
Yes, yes. 'Cause I am an obsessive Miami Heat fan. Most of my fans know that. I am on Twitter always talking a lot of crap, especially when the playoffs come around. So, there's something for me, you know. Like when the Heat won the championship, you know, 'you should make a track called "Heat."' All right, cool. So I did it!
Just want to remind everyone out there that...the Heat are NBA champs ok..cool now continue with your day— Henrix (@HenrixMusic) June 23, 2013
Do you ever go to the games?
Yeah, I go to the games. I went to a playoff game. But the problem with the playoffs is that when the Heat won, I was in Asia. And I'm there like 7:00 or 8:00. It was 9:00 in the morning and over here is 9:00 at night or 10. And everyone was just going crazy when the Heat win. I'm here in Asia by myself in the hotel room. I was like, "AHHH!" So, yeah, that's the only thing. When the playoffs come, I'm like, "Oh my god!" I'm always traveling. That's the one time that I wanna be in Miami. When I can, I go.
Now that you're taking time off for the studio, do you have new music in the works?
Yes, a lot of stuff actually. This month has been nonstop studio, remixes, a lot of originals. It's just been nonstop, hectic. So I kinda just took off and I'm like, "All right, I've got to focus here." Because you do need that studio time to put out music. People want to hear stuff from you. And then when you don't have that time, it's a little hard, you know. You always gotta [be] constantly put your stuff out.
*Hint: he played some new tracks during his Electric Zoo set! He said, "When they hear the set and they don't really know the song it's probably mine!"
Well, since you're here at Electric Zoo. If you were an animal, what animal it would be?
Let's say a lion, but there are other animals too. I like the lion ... or the white tiger.

Brevard, N.C. - The Tornados made it two in a row, sweeping the season series over the Virginia Intermont Lady Cobras by taking both games in the doubleheader on Sunday, 8-0 and 6-3. With the wins, Brevard improves to 4-0 on the season while Virginia Intermont falls to 2-6.
Game 1: Brevard 8, Virginia Intermont 0 (5)
Jennifer Gift (2-0) scattered five hits in five innings, recording her first shutout of the season. The junior pitcher from Durham, N.C. struck out two, while walking one in her second start against the Lady Cobras this season. Chelsi Mallory went 4-4 with a double, scoring two runs and driving in three to pace the offense in the first game of the doubleheader.
The Tornados jumped on Virginia Intermont starting pitcher Melissa Hudgins early, scoring three runs in the bottom of the first. Kristina Clayton reached base on a one-out walk, then stole second before scoring on a Mallory double laced to right center. After Katie Thornburg went down with a strikeout, Beth Brooker punched a single to left field, scoring Mallory. The third run of the inning came across when Jennifer Brown scooted a single though the right side of the infield, bringing home Brooker.
After Gift set Virginia Intermont down 1-2-3, Brevard continued to put the pressure on the Lady Cobras as Sarah Carlos opened the inning with single to left field. VI Coach Eric Senter moved his first baseman Brittany Lewis to the mound, but the Tornados continued to hit as Mallory placed a single down the right field line, driving in a run ad Beth Brooker hit a sacrifice fly to right, scoring Clayton to put BC up 5-0 after two.
Brevard added another run in the bottom of the fourth as Mallory scored from third when Brooker got caught in-between first and second trying to steal.
Meanwhile, Gift was cruising through the Lady Cobra lineup, getting Jessie Blevins and Hudgins to foul out to Carlos down the first baseline in the top of the fifth. The Lady Cobras were able to put a runner on base every inning, but stellar defense by the Tornados prevented a run from coming across the plate.
Katie Brown led off the bottom of the fifth with a single to left center. A sacrifice bunt by Carlos and a stolen base later, Brown scored on a double by Clayton down the left field line. The game ended on the next batter as Mallory singled through the right side of the infield, scoring Clayton, and ending the game due to the NAIA 8-run rule.
Game 2: Brevard 4, Virginia Intermont 2
Liz Houser (2-0) threw a five-hitter and gave up two unearned runs and Clayton went 3-4 with an RBI and a run scored to lead the Tornados to the sweep against the Lady Cobras.
The game was scoreless until the top of the third when Virginia Intermont pushed across a run. Megan Branson reached with one-out on a throwing error by Jennifer Brown, and then moved to third after a groundout to first. Blevins drove Branson in with a single to left for the first run of the ball game.
Brevard answered in the bottom half of the inning as a double by Thornburg over the left fielder's head scored Mallory from first base. The next batter, Brooker, drove Thornburg home on a single down the right field line as the Tornados took the lead 2-1.
The Lady Cobras tied up the game in the top of the fourth as Lewis scored on a two-out single up the middle by Katie Bowles.
The Tornados took control of the game for good in the bottom half of the fourth as a single by Clayton through the right side scored Carlos from second base, and a double by Mallory to the wall in centerfield brought Clayton all the way around to put Brevard up 4-2 with three innings remaining.
Virginia Intermont put runners on in the fifth, sixth, and the seventh, but each time Houser shut the other team down without giving up a run. In the top of the seventh, Branson led off the inning with a single that dropped in front of Becca Curlee in center. However, Branson was doubled up as Curlee made a great running catch and throw on Kidd's shallow fly ball, to give Houser two outs in the last frame. A Blevins grounder to Jennifer Brown at third ended the game as Brevard completed the sweep, 4-2.
The Tornados take to the field again on Friday, February 20th as they host North Greenville. First pitch for the doubleheader is set for 2 p.m. Virginia Intermont stays on the road as they take on Lees-McRae on Tuesday, February 17th at 2 p.m.

No. Falure to blow in Kentucky is an automatic aggravated DUI.
Listen- the only time you don't blow in Kentucky is if your blood alcohol level is over 1.6.
That is very, very drunk, and any lawyer would know that.
And if you weren't very, very drunk, then you should have blown.
If your BAC is 0.8-1.6, you get a DUI. Higher than that is an aggravated DUI, which is what you get charged with when you refuse to blow.
So sue your lawyer and bend over and grab your ankles and pray for a plea.
That's how they get you to blow.
This is not optional. By not blowing, you automatically are charged with this, whether you were a choir boy or Adolf Hitler.
Now- you may not be convicted of this becuase of your prior record, but believe me, you're charged with it.
It is against the law to not blow in Kentucky. It is a crime.
Even if they end up not charging you with a DUI, you didn't blow, so it's an automatic license suspension.

If you were arraigned, you should have some paperwork saying what you were charged with someplace.
"But I do know Joey's sister indirectly (or foster sister) and I have heard stories of Joey being into shopping, designer wear, fancy coffees, and pedicures."
I'd look at my outgoing calls and any paperwork I might have from the incident before I queried a bunch of baseball loving guys on what the law is.
Fact is by you not doing that (or realizing it??) makes me ponder if you still might have a slight buzz happening.
This thread has been extremely helpful. Does anyone know where I could get a great price on a lawyer for the sake of plea bargaining? At the moment, that's what I'm leaning toward.
It's just odd to me that a lawyer would tell you to not take a breathlyzer without knowing the facts.
He essentially just guaranteed you an aggravated DUI charge over a DUI.
Just remember- if you are really drunk- like fall down, crazy- refuse the breathlyzer. At this point you know you're up for aggravated, so make them prove it. If you arent, though, then take it.
I also find it odd they didn't give you a field test. Usually that provides them with probable cause. They need that, because a good DUI lawyer will try and get your case thrown out under that premise. To just see you swerve or cross a yellow line, isn't enough, so they normally want you to fail a field test, then they can ask you, with cause, to take a breathlyzer test. These guys aren't stupid (well, they can be, but you know what I mean...)....
In your case you were just sitting at a light asleep, so not sure how much cause is there, other than the alcohol smell. That may be enough, but that field test is a good way to have cause for you to blow....

Schedule a Hunger 101 session for your group.
What is Hunger 101?
Hunger 101 is the education project of the Atlanta Community Food Bank. The Food Bank created the very first Hunger 101 Project and curriculum in the early 1990s. Today, many other food banks in the Feeding America network have adopted Hunger 101.
Through workshops, online curricula and other creative tools designed for a variety of age groups, Hunger 101 strives to increase awareness about hunger and poverty on the local, state and national levels. Hunger 101 plays an integral role in furthering the Food Bank's mission to fight hunger by engaging, educating and empowering our community.
Hunger 101 workshops can be adapted for almost any audience. Hunger 101 participants include teachers, youth, college students, K-12 public and private school students, as well as faith, corporate, civic and volunteer groups. Hunger 101 workshops are interactive and free of charge. Workshops can be held at the Food Bank, where participants can tour the facility and gain a better understanding about how the Food Bank addresses hunger in the community, or brought to your school, faith, or work location if you are located within metro-Atlanta. All participants are encouraged to follow up with one action step such as volunteering, organizing a food drive, contacting their senators and representatives, or connecting friends and family to ACFB through their social networks.
Hunger 101 curriculum materials were developed in the early 1990s with the help of Emory University's School of Public Health, and were recently updated with the help of Georgia State University's School of Social Work. The materials are full of facts, resources and fabulous activities that you can use to educate your community, office or classroom about hunger and poverty. The entire Hunger 101 Curriculum can be downloaded, or you can choose to download sections of the Curriculum: individual modules, resource pages or activities. Check out the Hunger 101 Curriculum, download materials and start educating yourself and your community today!

The Youth Summit is a unique multi-day service opportunity for local high school students hosted by ACFB each summer. It includes interactive workshops and service projects with ACFB and other hunger fighting organizations in metro Atlanta. Each year the Youth Summit brings together a diverse group of students from across the metro area who learn about hunger and poverty issues, address hunger in their own communities, earn community service hours, and build new friendships. Each Youth Summit session is limited to 20 students. Each participant agrees to complete at least one hunger fighting action step during the following school year.
Learn more about the Youth Summit.
Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta, Inc. and the Atlanta Community Food Bank have partnered to develop the Hunger 101 Patch Project for Girl Scout Daisies through Girl Scout Ambassadors. The Hunger 101 Patch Project is a wonderful opportunity for girls to learn about hunger as a contemporary issue.

Anybody questioning Utah's status as the second driest state in the nation need look at dwindling reservoir levels for validation.
Farmers, boaters, anglers and water-use planners are all dealing with drought conditions.
As for recreation, receding water levels are making reservoirs feel even more crowded than usual, leading to the potential for more accidents. Anglers have already witnessed one fish kill at a popular destination due to low water, and state wildlife officials have increased fish limits at several reservoirs in the face of an almost guaranteed loss of the fishery as a whole, at least for the near future.
Utah State Parks officials say visitation at water-based parks is down, likely a result of the low reservoirs, but that safety education and patrols are up.
"The boating surface area is shrinking daily," said Ty Hunter, boating program manager for Utah State Parks. "The waters are getting more and more crowded, which can be dangerous. Places that may have been boatable on someone's previous trip may not be the next time."
Hunter advises all boaters to use extra caution when on the water this summer and he suggests people check the Utah State Parks website or contact the state park they plan on visiting for current boating conditions. Boat launching ramps remain open for the most part, but "it is only a matter of time" before the concrete is out of the water, Hunter said.
"Being able to launch boats affects our patrol efforts as well," Hunter said. "We have to start limiting boats we can use for patrols and for rescues. People may still be able to launch smaller watercraft and they may still need us to help them."
Reservoirs are down across the state. Among the lowest as of Sunday, according to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, were Hyrum Reservoir, at 43 percent of capacity; Echo Reservoir, 32 percent; Lake Powell, 47 percent; Steinaker Reservoir, 34 percent; and Scofield Reservoir, 38 percent.
The north marina at Willard Bay State Park, closed since March due to the Chevron diesel fuel pipeline spill, reopened last week, but may not remain that way for long as the water level about 61 percent drops below the marina.
The low water at Jordanelle State Park, currently at about 60 percent of normal, forced officials of the massive Outdoor Retailer Summer Market Show to move its Open Air Demo Day on July 30 to Pineview Reservoir.
Show organizers called Jordanelle an "unsuitable venue." The Open Air Demo was staged at Jordanelle last year and exhibitors complained then about the lack of shoreline due to high water.
"It's feast or famine," Hunter said about the big change in water levels.
At Strawberry Reservoir, one of the state's most popular fisheries, about 600 fish died last week due to low-water conditions. Most of the fish were non-game suckers, but there were some trout in the count.
Drew Cushing, warm water species coordinator for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR), says people can expect to see more fish kills as the summer goes on.
"Low incoming flows to reservoirs and warm water are not a good combination for fish, particularly trout," Cushing said. "There is less oxygen in warm water and we see more vegetation in warm water which also contributes to a drop in oxygen levels."
Smaller and more shallow low and mid-elevation reservoirs will most likely experience fish kills. Cushing said the Bureau of Reclamation is taking advantage of low water in some places, like Moon Lake and Piute Reservoir, to repair and improves dams.
DWR Director Greg Sheehan has already signed emergency fishing regulation changes for at least four waters, increasing the daily limit for trout to eight at Piute, Anderson Meadow Reservoir and Spirit Lake. The tiger muskie limit at Cottonwood Reservoir was increased to two fish.
Cushing said other emergency changes may be coming as the summer progresses. He points out that, while fishing and accessing reservoirs might be difficult at this time, better fishing opportunities exist in the high-elevation lakes and streams of the state.
The heavy rains so far in July haven't done much to help the declining water levels in reservoirs, but it does make the landscape around them green and lush. It also helps reduce the threat of wildfire, something else that wipes out fisheries.
Snowpack controls water levels in Utah's reservoirs and there is no replacing it when it doesn't happen.
"These summertime thunderstorms are spotty in nature. If you are underneath one you may get a lot of rain, but they are not widespread the way our snowstorms are in the winter," said Nanette Hosenfeld, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Salt Lake City.
And that may leave more fish gasping for oxygen.
"This is just the way things stack up when you live in a desert," Cushing said. "It is the price we pay for these artificial systems. You just have to plan on these kinds of years every so often."

Surprising Fun,
|reviewer: Emily from Ohio
|I had no idea what to expect when I stumbled into this show last weekend. From the first few words spoken in the darkness, I knew I was in for a treat! Although probably more enjoyable for the frequent musical go-er, everyone can appreciate the witty writing and wonderful timing of this quirky little show. It's a terrific look back at when theatre was fun, and proves as silly and over the top as musicals can be, audiences still love them. Who needs vampires and vines, when you can have good old fashioned slapstick and a few spit takes?

|What a treat! The premise is appealing; the narration, clever. The music, lyrics, dancing, jokes, sight gages, sets, and costumes are outstanding. I'm surprised that it didn't win even more Tonys than it did. Don't hesitate. Treat yourself to some pure fun!

I Left the Theater Smiling!,
|reviewer: Elizabeth Vyner from Connecticut, USA
|I just saw "The Drowsy Chaperon" at yesterday's matinee. What a great show! Its very well written, with wonderful songs and music. The performers were all spectacular. It was fresh and original, and perhaps the best thing I've experienced in New York in years. The awards were well deserved, and I hope it has a long successful run. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Dr. Zimmerman's TUESDAY TIP: "Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go." William FeatherDr. Alan Zimmerman's Personal Commentary:
You want to be successful? Well, who doesn't? After speaking to more than 2500 audiences around the world, I have yet to meet a person that says, "No, I want to be a failure. I want to be a loser. I want to scrape the bottom of the barrel and live at the bottom of society."Almost everybody wants to experience some degree of success, however that might be defined. The good news is ... success, to some degree, is a science. It has been studied and researched as much if not more than any other topic on earth. So we pretty much know if you do certain things, you're going to succeed. And if you do other things, you're going to fail. It's that simple ... although not always that easy.And on the list of things you've got to do to succeed is to PRACTICE PERSISTENCE. You've got to keep on doing your best at your job, at your marriage, at your exercise program, and at anything else BEFORE you can expect a breakthrough and experience the success you want.As inventor and entrepreneur Thomas Edison proclaimed, "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try one more time."Of course, you may be wondering how you develop a persistent personality when everything in you is telling you to give up, throw in the towel, and call it quits. From the job losses, economic setbacks, marriage failures, physical disabilities, death, imprisonment, suicides, and a host of other challenges in my life or the lives of my immediate family and my employees, I've learned five things that will allow you to PRACTICE PERSISTENCE.1. Change your thinking and speaking patterns.Some thoughts and some words rob you of power. They make it more difficult for you to PRACTICE PERSISTENCE.For example, if you sound like you're hedging, if you sound uncertain or wishy-washy, you're telling yourself, in effect, that you can't do something. And if you talk to others about your goals and plans and use words like "I think ... I guess ... Sort of ... or ... Maybe," you're broadcasting your lack of self-confidence. That's dangerous. After all, the basic premise of psychology is the fact that "you perform exactly as you tell yourself." If you speak with a lack of conviction and confidence, you will actually kill off your ability to persist. So DON'T do it. You need to change your thinking and speaking patterns so you are continually going UP the conviction ladder. Change your thoughts and comments from "I won't do it ... to ... I can't do it ... to ... I want to do it." From there, keep on going up the ladder by telling yourself, " How do I do it? ... to ... I'll try to do it ... to ... I can do it ... to ... I will do it ... to ... Yes, I did it!"Success researcher Orison Swett Marden said you've got to speak boldly and act boldly. As he wrote, "Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them."2. Appreciate your obstacles.We'd all like smooth sailing. We'd like our lives and careers to just plain work without having to PRACTICE PERSISTENCE. And we'd prefer to have no obstacles whatsoever.Well, that's not only unrealistic but unhealthy. Obstacles can actually be good for us. You see ... life's obstacles or God's tests (choose whatever terminology you want) are seldom the ones you would have chosen for yourself. After all, they never seem to come at the right time and always seem to test you in your weakest areas. That's because they're not for the teacher's benefit; they're for your benefit!The tests of life are designed to sharpen you mentally and strengthen you spiritually. When tests come ... and they certainly will ... you've got two choices. One: you can act like a victim and complain that you've been singled out and treated unfairly. You can walk around feeling sorry for yourself, staying emotionally unfit and flabby. Or two: you can use those tests to build your reserves. You can push against them. It's like working out in a gym. The more you push against the weights and practice resistance, the stronger you get.When it comes to success, it's not just a matter of where you're going but what you're going through. Alfred D. Souza had to learn that the hard way. He said, "For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin -- real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."So appreciate your obstacles. Use them to your advantage. PRACTICE PERSISTENCE.Remember what master juggler Rob Peck says. When you have an obstacle, when you make a mistake, when you have an oops, Peck reminds himself that "WHOOPS" simply means "When Humans Overcome Obstacles, Providence Smiles."3. Give your feelings a vote, not a veto.More often than not, failures fail because they don't FEEL like doing what needs to be done. But winners win because they PRACTICE PERSISTENCE. Winners win because they have the determination to do what is necessary ... whether or not they feel like it or they are in the mood. Winners do what has to be done, even if they find it unfair, inconvenient, or requires them to do more than others.Certainly, your feelings have a vote in whether or not you decide to PERSIST, but your feelings are only your feelings. They come and go. So give your feelings a vote in the decision you make, but don't ever give them a veto.Charles Carlson had to learn that. He developed the process of photocopying in 1938, but he had to persevere for 21 years before the first Xerox copier was finally made.Chuck Yeager, on his first flight as an astronaut passenger, threw up all over the back seat. He vowed never to go back up again, yet later on he became the first man to break the sound barrier.And a woman once said to the great violinist Fritz Kreisler after a recital, "I'd give my life to play as beautifully as you!" "Madam," Kreisler replied, "I have."The professional baseball manager, Tommy Lasorda wrapped it up quite well when he said, "The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person's determination."4. Lighten up.When people encounter obstacles instead of instant success, some people get all negative and depressed. And their negative attitude makes it even more difficult to keep on PRACTICING the PERSISTENCE they must have in order to succeed.Lighten up instead. Find the humor in your challenges. Laugh about your difficulties. It's good for your spirit and your persistence.I found several examples of people who seem to do exactly that. In fact, they even put their whimsical thoughts on the bumper strips of their cars. A few of the bumper strips read:
Persistence is never easy, but it's always a lot easier to keep on keeping on with a good sense of humor and a positive attitude.5. Don't let failure stop you.In other words, failure is a PART of life, not the END of life. When you fail, refuse to give up.
The author of "Dances With Wolves," Michael Blake says, "I tell people that if you stay committed, your dreams can come true. I'm living proof of it. I left home at 17 and had nothing but rejections for 25 years. I wrote more than 20 screenplays, but I never gave up."Let me remind you ... and maybe you need to remind yourself ... even if you fail, you are NOT a failure. Don't let failure stop you. The biography of almost every successful person reads the same: he or she had some failures along the way, but they did NOT let failure stop them. And don't let it stop you.Action:How much credence to give your feelings? Too much or too little? What can you do to give your feelings a vote but not a veto?"Transforming the people side of business ... to help you get the payoffs you want and need" Dr. Alan ZimmermanTel: 800-621-7881E-mail: email@example.com

AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- The University of Akron is selling the old Rubber Bowl stadium to a marketing company that wants it to be the home of a United States Football League franchise.
Team 1 Marketing of Canton will pay $38,000 for the stadium on nearly seven acres. The Akron Beacon Journal (http://bit.ly/U1noxF ) reports that university trustees agreed to the sale Wednesday.
The USFL team would be the first to play in the Rubber Bowl since the University of Akron team moved to InfoCision Stadium on campus in 2009. Team 1 expects to announce in about a month that it will purchase one of eight teams in the fledgling league and plans to renovate the stadium.
The Rubber Bowl was built by Works Progress Administration in 1939.
