It's a battle of the hot Liams!
Hunger Games star Liam Hemsworth has been making ladies swoon for the last few years — and although One Direction's Liam Payne has only recently come into his mega-fame — he is definitely catching up when it comes to admirers!
These two youngsters not only share a name, but they both have dreamy accents: Hemsworth, 21, is Australian, while Payne is British, 18.
For those dreaming, however, each fella is (sadly) taken. Hemsworth has been dating pop star Miley Cyrus on-and-off for about three years, while Payne is in a relationship with a back up dancer named Danielle Peazer.
We've covered their similarities, but how are the two different?
Blonde Hemsworth is poised to be one of the biggest action stars in Tinseltown, as he not only starred in the box office smash Hunger Games (and will appear in it's subsequent sequels), but he's getting ready to share the screen with Arnold Schwarzengger, Bruce Willis and more in The Expendables 2, which is out in August.
On the flip side, Payne has an intcredibly dedicated fan base, with over three million Twitter followers and he constantly has World Wide trending topics regarding how much fans love him and his band mates.
What's more, Payne is a singer and can make ladies melt with by singing his sweet lyrics. See below.
So now is when we ask the touch question: who is hotter?! Click through the gallery and then sound off by voting in the poll!

Tailgating, we LOVE it! It's all about food, fun and well there's a football game involved!
One of my favorite and simplest Tailgate feasts starts with grilled meat or fish. Everything from chicken wings to fish or kabobs. But, the older I get the more concerned I am about eating healthier. So I spoke with Dr. Raul Serrano about healthier ways to tailgate and a good marinade for #SundaySupper.
Dr. Serrano explained that the problem when grilling meats are acrylamides, dangerous by-products that come from heating meats at high temperatures (frying or grilling). There is an easy solution to this BBQ dilemma. To avoid the formation of acrylamides in meats: Marinade meat before cooking to help prevent the formation of acrylamides (use a combination of olive oil, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, and anti-cancer spices like tumeric and garlic), and do not char the meat. It is better to cook longer at lower temperatures, away from the direct flame.
The bottom line is you don't have to sacrifice flavor to eat healthy. Here's a great recipe for marinating meat, seafood or vegetables that Dr. Serrano shared from "The Cancer Killers" book
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Let marinate for at least 30 minutes but the longer the better. When using meats use grass fed beef or free-range chickens.

Zuckerberg said that the disastrous stock market launch and the fall of the share price, damaged the company's image. He said that the performance of the stock has obviously been disappointing. Talking about his programming skills he said that "everything I do breaks, but we fix it quickly". Although he could have been talking about the company.
Talking to Tech Crunch Disrupt Zuckerburg said staff morale had not been helped by the falling share price. The hardest-hit by the dropping share price, which initially launched at $38-per-share in May and now stands at a miserable $19.48, are employees who are paid partially in stock and can't flog them. We are still predicting the outfit's share price will fall to about $13.
The way Zuckerberg has fixed this problem is give them more shares which is probably not the best idea. Zuckerberg still thinks going public was the right move and he thinks the company will build value over the long run.

Operation Gratitude
A friend of ours is involved in a project called "Operation Gratitude", a California 501(c)(3) that sends care packages and letters to our GIs in Iraq and around the world. We heard they were having a "garage sale" at the National Guard armory in Van Nuys yesterday, so we went down to check it out as it's just a couple blocks from where we like to do what we sometimes can almost call "play golf".
Anyhow, the sale was great; it consisted of items they just couldn't send to the troops that had been donated since the beginning of the program, be it because of size or weight restrictions, or inappropriateness, etc. The proceeds go towards the cost of mailing the packages overseas.
We then went into the Armory to see what they were doing — there was a MOUNTAIN of boxes being put together for next weekend's shipping marathon. We'll be going next weekend to see if we can lend a hand.
This project is amazing. Operation Gratitude describes it's mission as:
Hundreds of thousands of American troops are deployed in hostile and remote regions of the world, including the Middle East, Afghanistan, Africa, Guantanamo Bay and on ships throughout international waters. The physical conditions they must endure are difficult and they may be separated from loved ones for long periods of time. OPERATION GRATITUDE seeks to lift troops' morale, and bring a smile to their faces by sending care packages addressed to individual service members deployed overseas. Operation Gratitude care packages contain food, toiletries, entertainment items and personal letters of appreciation, all wrapped with good wishes of love and support.
Through Collection Drives, Letter Writing Campaigns and Donations of requested items or funds for shipping expenses, OPERATION GRATITUDE provides civilians anywhere in America a way to express their respect and appreciation to the men and women of the U.S. military in an active, hands-on manner.
OPERATION GRATITUDE is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, all-volunteer corporation, funded entirely by private donations. For safety and security, the assembling of all packages occurs at the Army National Guard Armory in Van Nuys, California.
If you have any inkling of donating or volunteering, click the link above and check out their great program and excellent work. And please, help spread the word.

"We arrived at Hurricane bank at 08:45 hours," reported Royal Polaris February 12.
"Weather consisted of a breeze from 12 to 20 knots throughout the day. It was quite comfortable on the anchor.
"Fishing was slow the entire day. We caught ten yellowfin tuna, two of which were 85 pounds, and the other six were from 115 to 188 pounds. Largest fish was caught by Chris Stavaridis on the kite, with a squid.
"To our disappointment the bank was void of Wahoo today and only one was caught on the bait. We plan on being patient and taking things one day at a time. Please keep you fingers crossed for us and with a little luck things will improve."
Revillagigedos Tagging Voyage Underway
"Everything started off right with all our tanks jugged with perfect five to eight inch sardines," reported Owner skipper Tim Ekstrom aboard Royal Star upon departure.
"As we travel south over the next few days, we will be preparing our equipment for the big push to the inside Revillagigedos islands: San Benedicto, Socorro, and Roca Partida. We will soon find out.
"This is the fifth Revillagigedos tagging voyage and we look forward to getting back down there and seeing what has transpired since last season."

Coalition for Evidence-Based Policy seeks RCTs for social programs.
Randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) are typically viewed as the gold standard in developing evidence and separating what works from what doesn't. (I'll leave a discussion of RCTs for another day.)
The Macarthur-funded, Washington, DC-based Coalition for Evidence seeks to "increase government effectiveness through the use of rigorous evidence" - and by rigorous, they mean derived from RCTs. The group says that: "[i]n most areas of social policy – such as education, poverty reduction, and crime prevention – government programs often are implemented with little regard to evidence, costing billions of dollars yet failing to address critical social problems. However, rigorous studies have identified a few highly-effective program models and strategies ('interventions'), suggesting that a concerted government effort to build the number of these proven interventions, and spur their widespread use, could bring rapid progress to social policy similar to that which transformed medicine..."
These guys are drinking the Kool-Aid. The Coalition continues: "[A] central theme of our advocacy, consistent with a recent National Academies recommendation, is that evidence of effectiveness generally cannot be considered definitive without ultimate confirmation in well-conducted randomized controlled trials."
Their Top Tier Evidence initiative is intended as "a validated resource used by federal officials to assist policy officials in identifying interventions meeting the Congressional Top Tier evidence standard, defined in recent legislative provisions as 'well-designed randomized controlled trials [showing] sizeable, sustained effects on important… outcomes' (e.g., Public Laws 110-161 and 111-8)."
Why can't more organizations do this? With that in mind, the group recently identified two programs as promising, describing them as Near Top Tier (satisfying most, but not all, their criteria for rigorous and evidence-based). I like that the Coalition provides an evidence summary explaining its reasoning and the underlying evidence that supports its rating of subject programs. For the Child FIRST program, key findings include "40-70% reduction in serious levels of (i) child conduct and language development problems, and (ii) mothers' psychological distress, one year after random assignment." For the PMTO program, findings include: "Sons of women in the program group had substantially fewer arrests over nine years (an average of 0.76 arrests per boy in the PMTO group versus 1.34 per boy in the control group)."
But wait, there's more. Each evidence summary provides a brief cost-benefit analysis pinpointing the potential taxpayer costs or savings from the subject program.This is complicated, I know, but we can't be promoting widespread programs that are unable to document some type of benefit.
High hurdle. The 2009 National Academies report (mentioned earlier) says:
"Federal and state agencies should prioritize the use of evidence-based programs and promote the rigorous evaluation of prevention and promotion programs in a variety of settings in order to increase the knowledge base of what works, for whom, and under what conditions. The definition of evidence-based should be determined by applying established scientific criteria. In applying scientific criteria, the agencies should consider the following standards:
Evidence for efficacy or effectiveness of prevention and promotion programs should be based on designs that provide significant confidence in the results....
When evaluations with such experimental designs are not available, evidence for efficacy or effectiveness cannot be considered definitive, even if based on the next strongest designs, including those with at least one matched comparison."

A tiny slit of light creaks through the ill-fitting wardrobe door even after it clicks shut behind me. Under different circumstances to these I might feel self conscious, or perhaps unbalanced. But the pain of loss has driven me here, and I care nothing for such thoughts. The coat hangers move quickly under my touch whining the screech of steel on steel, till at last I find what I want. It slips around my shoulders easily, enveloping me in its scent and at once I breathe in a thousand memories. The smell of spearmint gum still lingers in the pocket, and the faint tang of old-fashioned shaving soap comes up to me from the warmth. This coat is a traditional hounds tooth tweed -- but worn soft --and the lining still glows cheerfully, a dull vermilion red like the inside of a magicians cloak. My cheek rubs along the collar where the fibers are flattened with wear, my eyes closed now against the darkness.
The coat is big so I feel like a child, nestled down amongst its warmth. The arms wrap around my body twice, like an embrace, although this was not something which happened with any degree of regularity when my father was alive. Perhaps at Christmas, or if I was ill and therefore a bit weepy.
Everyone in my fathers family was an arch Victorian and truly believed that displays of affection or anything really -- were shameful, somehow belying weakness. As a result, every crumb of praise or acknowledgement uttered by my father was to be cherished carefully evaluated in the mind over and over. I recall each nuance of facial expression, the crinkle of his cheek and smooth slope of his bluish jaw line as he had spoken. Often it was only a single word, kindly delivered in his soft British accent. He had struggled to eliminate this accent altogether since it betrayed industrial roots. But I watched and listened for these slips hungrily and stored them in my memory as proof of his being mortal.
When my father died, an obscure uncle appeared from nowhere to offer his help in sorting through things -- he professed shock at the notion of giving clothes to the Salvation Army and immediately began citing their Hardly-Been-Worn status with all the fervor of an evangelist. Our living room was host to a one man fashion romp as he sorted through wool suits, and squeezed his bovine feet into handmade leather shoes. These are like new! he scolded as if this were somehow our fault. As I coldly regarded him in my fathers blazer and merchant navy tie I was fascinated by his callousness, which seemed to know no bounds. Certainly, he made no attempt to stop my mother as she bolted from the room, her pale eyes streaming. I decided then and there he was not having the coat, and stowed it away in the closet where it remained hanging, dignity in tact. This made me feel rather smug and hate my uncle rather less.
Quite suddenly, I do not want to be discovered sitting in the dark wearing the coat of someone who is no longer alive. A warm blast of claustrophobic shame floods through me as if I have committed some dire sin. It occurs to me that this is the type of thing a therapist would definitely write down.
I open the door slowly and light floods in. Blinking, I shrug off the coat and carefully replace it on the hanger. It swings slightly as it settles with the others on the rail. As I lean against the door to close it, my hand catches on the tweed again and it falls to rest heavily in my arms. Suddenly it becomes what it actually is -- an old coat frayed at the bottom -- and I wonder if its time to say good-bye. Pausing, head bowed, I listen, hoping for some kind of sign to help me. But there is nothing to hear except the soft chiming of empty hangers.

Photogrammetry is the use of photography for surveying primarily and is used for the production of maps from aerial photographs. Along with remote sensing, it represents the primary means of generating data for Geographic Information Systems (GIS). As technology develops, it is becoming easier to gain access to it. The cost of digital photogrammetric workstations are falling quickly and these new tools are therefore becoming accessible to more and more users. Digital Photogrammetry is particularly useful as a text for graduate students in geomantic and is also suitable for people with a good basic scientific knowledge who need to understand photogrammetry, and who wish to use the book as a reference.

I got Pan's Horn last night and I was wondering if the extra +1 to lullaby is worth losing the radius with Nursemaid's. Do you use Pan's with Foe and Nursemaid's with Horde?
Wanted to get some expert brd opinions on this, because as much as I would love to alleviate some inventory room, I would rather keep/have what works best.

Scarlett Johansson looked gorgeous in green as she posed on the red carpet at the Moët and Chandon event held in Shanghai, China yesterday.
As the face of the French brand, Scarlett chose a forest green Marc Jacobs glitter dot lace-inset dress from the Fall 2011 collection.
The figure-hugging dress features gorgeous slightly peaked cap sleeves and a silk Peter Pan collar around the neckline.
Scarlett accessorized her dress with a pair of black patent leather peep-toe pumps with metal detail on the back plus bronze-coloured pearl earrings.
She finished her look by wearing smoky eyeshadow forming a cat eye shape and bright pink lipstick.
The petite actress opted to style her flame red hair in soft curls. I love the way her hair colour pops against the green of the dress.
You may recognise the other lady as Shu Qi. She was one of the jurors during the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.
It looks like her dress sense has taken a nose-dive since then.

ORWELL — Orwell residents on Tuesday for a second time rejected a plan calling for their town to join their fellow Addison-Rutland Supervisory Union towns in forming a unified union school district.
The vote this time was closer than it was in the first ballot; this time it was 166 in favor of the proposed Slate Valley Unified Union School District and 204 against.
Orwell citizens on April 12 had voted 211 to 121 against joining Castleton, West Haven, Hubbardton, Benson and Fair Haven in the proposed union.
VERGENNES — Police spending — especially $110,000 for two new cruisers — dominated a Tuesday Vergennes City Council meeting devoted to the next city budget and municipal tax rate, both of which must be adopted by July 1.
The council is working from a $2.3 million draft budget submitted by Vergennes City Manager Mel Hawley that he calculated, if adopted, would require a 9-cent hike in the municipal tax rate from 75 to 84 cents.

MIDDLEBURY — The Addison County American Legion baseball team opened with one road win on Sunday at Franklin County sandwiched between home losses on Saturday and Monday to Essex and Colchester, respectively
AC was set to play at Stowe on Wednesday night before returning home on Thursday for a rematch with Colchester. AC will visit S.D. Ireland on Sunday for a doubleheader, host Montpelier on June 28 and 30 at 5:30 p.m. both days, and host Franklin County for a twin bill on July 2 beginning at 11 a.m.
Time for just a couple thoughts for the summer solstice.
I do believe the Cleveland Cavaliers deserved their victory over the Golden State Warriors on Sunday, and congratulations to the long-suffering fans of Northeast Ohio.
It's been well-documented Cleveland's last major championship came in 1964. There's been plenty of heartbreak since then.
VERGENNES — During a Tuesday, June 14, meeting the Vergennes City Council authorized Wi-Fi for the Otter Creek Basin, approved a second bicycle rack for the city green, and tapped the Water Tower Fund to pay for work to City Hall that created office space for the Vergennes Partnership.
VERGENNES — In baseball terms, Vergennes resident Matt Birong's performance at the recent Democratic state convention in Barre was like hitting a walk-off homer while trailing in the bottom of the ninth.
The-38-year-old owner of Vergennes eatery 3 Squares was a relative novice in the political world, faced scores of others seeking the same spot, and didn't even get to campaign — and yet he was elected to be a delegate to next month's Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
MIDDLEBURY — A year after playing in the Vermont American Legion championship final and falling just short, the Addison County American Legion team in 2015 saw many players age out of the program, resulting in a young roster particularly short in the pitching rotation.
AC went from a penthouse suite to a basement studio apartment, winning just once and forfeiting a couple late-season contests simply because Coach Mike Estey's team didn't have anybody to put on the mound.
VERGENNES — The Vergennes City Council this week will be studying a $1.848 million draft general fund budget for fiscal year 2016-2017 that, if approved as is, could raise the city's municipal tax rate from 75 to 84 cents.
A 9-cent hike in the municipal tax rate would translate to an additional $180 of annual taxes for a $200,000 home.
That spending does not include the user-supported sewer budget, and City Manager Mel Hawley on Tuesday also recommended a $34 annual increase in the per-unit sewer rate.
VERGENNES — The newly elected Addison Northwest Unified Union School District (ANWSD) board will officially form on Monday at 6:30 p.m. in the Vergennes Union High School library.
Vermont Secretary of Education Rebecca Holcombe will open the meeting and run the agenda, according to now Addison Northwest Supervisory Union (ANwSU) Superintendent JoAn Canning, whose title will change slightly after Monday.
In late June 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled on a case originating in Arizona that may give the nation its best long-term hope for some sort of thoughtful gun control legislation.
We're talking about establishing meaningful background checks that might prevent someone who beats his wife regularly and has twice been interviewed by the FBI from buying a semi-automatic weapon that he can use to murder 49 innocent people and wound 53 more.
