Miranda Lambert

You've got to have some serious cojones to sing Miranda Lambert songs while her fiance, Blake Shelton, is sitting in his big turny-chair judging you. After all, he's got to have a pretty high opinion of the original.

Two contestants on "The Voice" risked their careers with this gutsy move on Tuesday night's episode. The first contestant, Cherie Oakley, sang "Gunpowder & Lead," Lambert's 2008 hit. While Blake didn't turn around, Christina Aguilera did.

"I'm sitting there listening to you sing my fiancees song," Blake said when she'd finished singing. "That's really cool. But by the same token, you're stepping into some big shoes for me because i know how she sings that, and I wanted you to beat her. I did! I wanted you to beat her and I didn't think you did."

Aguilera felt she had a catch, though, and Cee-Lo was impressed by "such a big voice coming out of a little bitty cute little thing."

The next contestant, Angela Wolff, sang a more recent Lambert song, "The House that Built Me," but she was noticeably pitchy in places. She threatened to unfollow Blake on Twitter, but he still wasn't impressed enough to choose her -- though he couldn't help but smile during her song. Unfortunately, she wasn't chosen.

Wolff no longer follows Shelton on Twitter. She does, however, follow Cee-Lo, Adam Levine, and yes -- Miranda Lambert.

Geronimo Leading Google Searches: Code Name For Osama Dead

As you know, Osama Bin Laden was captured and killed by U.S. Navy Seals. But did you know that "Geronimo" was the code name for this special operation?

That is the top search going on at Google right now. Searchers want to know why the operation was named Geronimo.

As you may know, Geronimo was well known Native American leader of the Chiricahua Apache who fought against Mexico and the United States for their expansion into Apache tribal lands for several decades during the Apache Wars. He lived between June 16, 1829 - February 17, 1909, dying at the age of 79. He actually died as a prisoner of the United States at Fort Sill, Oklahoma from pneumonia.

Some people find the code name offensive and insensitive. But when the Seals killed Osama, they sent a message back to their base, "Geronimo EKIA." It meant they killed Osama.

Anyway, people are searching for answers on the code name and the Osama news is still leading the charts on Google for top searches.

HISD


HISD, This may mean nothing more, but in this case, the experts seem fairly confident. If the forecast holds peak hours, the evening will be bad, but tomorrow’s rush hour will be worse. Unless, of course, schools and businesses decide it’s best to keep their people at home. Seeing how the weather forecasters say we’ll all wake up to a winter landscape, which may be what is happening. We will keep you updated on school closings and other cancellations. HISD has announced no future classes, for example. (No decision yet on whether to have early dismissal today.)

Belinda Crimmins was in the downward dog pose in yoga class at Westside Tennis Club, on Wednesday morning when the lights went out.
Crimmins said the windowless studio was plunged into complete darkness.

“I literally could not see two feet in front of me,” said the professor of 42 years of heights. “I could not find my shoes. I could not find my towel. We have all kinds of crawling out of there.”

Residents of the Houston area who dutifully covered plants and pipes wrapped in advance of freezing weather, this week found themselves facing blind rolling blackouts that turned off the traffic lights and unstable daily in restaurants, offices, schools and houses on Wednesday.

The blackout even took law enforcement and transportation ignore.

CenterPoint spokesman Floyd LeBlanc said the company discovered Wednesday morning that he had outside contact for days for some essential community services – such as the Houston Independent School District, Houston Police Department and the City Houston – if the officials could not have been notified as early as possible.

“It seems there have been recent retirements, though some specific contacts e-mails have changed,” LeBlanc said, without specifying the agencies involved. “This list will improve in the Future. ”

Harris County Constable Precinct 4 stations lost power three times Wednesday morning for about 45 minutes starting from 05:30, said Chief Mark Herman.
Dispatchers had to return to writing calls on paper as they came because computers were not working, “said Herman.

The enclosure scrambled to set up a command post trailer powered by a generator to keep open the shipping center.

“We just play by ear, but we take every precaution we can to ensure that all emergency calls are handled in a timely manner,” said Herman.

The Houston Fire Department rescued 30 people trapped in elevators, on Wednesday, much more than the usual average of two or three on a normal day.

Most incidents occurred between 7 and 10 hours and are believed to have been caused by rolling blackouts, officials said HFD.

Sheriff’s deputies in Harris County were busy dealing with road traffic accidents at intersections where fire had gone out, said sheriff’s spokeswoman Christina Garza.

Wednesday afternoon, members responded to 79 minor accidents and nine major accidents.

“In general this is the case whenever there is heavy rain, or in this case, power outages,” said Garza.

“If conditions continue to deteriorate – an example of ice on the roads – we simply ask people to slow down and look at all the intersections four-way stops,” she said. “And if they do not need to be there, just to stay home in their cozy, comfortable beds. ”

At Hobby Airport, four partial failures temporarily shaded parts of the terminal, but did not interfere with safety or prevent theft of taking off and landing, “said Marlene McClinton, Houston Airport System spokesman.

“In the beginning, we lost the power of the tower and some of the runway lights, but everything comes back up generator,” said McClinton. “This is not a safety issue.”

Thousands of local schoolchildren face dark, cold classrooms as power outages swept their campuses. Most schools in the Houston area remained open, but the Spring Independent School District dismissed students after three hours, saying there was a need to conserve energy.

About 30 of the 300 campuses in Houston ISD lost power during a certain period of time – with a handful to a couple of hours. Students in a school, Kashmere High, were bused to another campus nearby. As plans to move other children were in the works, the lights and heat back slowly warms buildings.

HISD spokesman Jason Spencer said the district would have appreciated a heads-up electricity companies.

“It was a difficult decision for us,” Spencer said. “If you send students home, you do not know what are the conditions that you send them home to. If the power of their school, chances are the power at home, too. ”

Some students decided not to hold on. Houston mom Kristy Martin said his 16-year-old son sent him a text message from Yates High School around 11:50; she picked him up and took him home to his grandmother.

“It is just recovering from being sick,” Martin said. “His first day back, and he had to stay outside in the cold and sitting in school in the cold.”

The Day The Music Died


The Day The Music Died, Today is a day in history when world lost a legend, On February 3, 1959, a plane crash near Clear Lake in the small Iowa, killed three American rock and roll musicians: Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and JP “Big Bopper” Richardson and the pilot Roger Peterson. Don McLean later called the day The Day the Music Died in his song “American Pie”.
“The Winter Dance Party” was a tour that has been created to cover the twenty-four cities in the Midwest in three weeks. A problem of logistics of the tour was the amount of travel, as the distance between sites was not a consideration when planning for each performance. Adding to the confusion, the tour bus used to transport themusicians was ill prepared for the weather; its heating system broke shortly after the tour began. Drummer Holly, Carl Bunch, developed a serious case of cold feet while the bus and was transported to a local hospital. As he recovered, Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens took turns on drums.

The Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, was never intended to be a stop of the tour, but promoters hope to fill an opening date, called Carroll Anderson, who was the manager the Surf Ballroom, and offered him the show. He agreed and the date of issue was set for Monday, February 2.

By the time Buddy Holly arrived at the ballroom that night, he was frustrated by the tour bus and told his comrades that, after the show, they should try to charter a plane to the next stage of the tour, which has been Moorhead, Minnesota. According to VH-1 behind the music: The Day the Music Died, Holly was also upset that he ran out of clean socks undershirts, and underwear. He needed to do some laundry before the next performance, and the local laundromat in Clear Lake was closed that day.

Flight arrangements were made with Roger Peterson, a 21-year local pilot who worked for Dwyer Flying Service in Mason City, Iowa. A fee of 36 per passenger has been charged with the single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza 1947 35 (V-tail), registration N3794N (later reassigned). The seat could Bonanza three plus the pilot.

Richardson has developed a case of influenza during the visit and asked Waylon Jennings, one of the other group members Holly, for his seat on the plane and Jennings agreed to give up her seat. When Holly learned that Jennings was not going to fly, he quipped: “Well, I hope your old bus freezes” and Jennings replied, also in jest: “Well, I hope your ol ‘plane crashes. “This exchange of words would haunt Jennings for the rest of his life.

Ritchie Valens had never flown in a small plane before, and asked Holly bandmate rest on the plane, Tommy Allsup for his seat. Tommy said: “I’ll go back to the remaining seat.” Contrary to what we see in biopics, the draw has not occurred at the airport shortly before takeoff, nor throws Buddy Holly. Bob Hale, a DJ with Krib-AM, was working the concert tonight and flipped the coin at the ballroom shortly before the musicians left for the airport. Valens won the toss and with it a seat on the flight.

Dion DiMucci of Dion and the Belmonts was approached to join the flight even if it is not known exactly when he was asked. Dion has decided that, since the cost of the flight and 36 was the same as the monthly rent paid for his parent’s apartment of his childhood, he could not justify the indulgence.

In 1988, Ken Paquette, a Wisconsin fan of the era of the 1950s, erected a stainless steel monument representing a steel guitar and a set of three records bearing the names of all three performers. The monument is located on private farmland, about a quarter mile west of the intersection of 315th Street and Gull Avenue, north five miles (8 km) from Clear Lake. There is a sign of post-horn-rimmed glasses [clarification needed] to the access point to the crash site. Paquette has also created a similar stainless steel monument three musicians outside the Riverside Ballroom in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where Holly, Valens and The Big Bopper played on the night of February 1, 1959. This second memorial was unveiled July 17, 2003. In February 2009, a new memorial made by Paquette for the pilot Roger Peterson was unveiled at the crash site.

The plane crashed in a field about five miles from the airport because of bad weather. In an interesting bit of trivia, Valens and Richardson are not even supposed to be on the plane. The plane was supposed to be Holly and his acolytes, but Tommy Allsup overturned a coin with Valens for the last seat and Waylon Jennings (country artist now known) has sold its headquarters to a country devastated by the flu Richardson.

Holly was only 22 years old at the time of the accident and left a pregnant widow, who suffered a miscarriage shortly after the crash. The Big Bopper was 28, and Ritchie Valens was only 17.

“American Pie” celebrates the day dubbed “the day the music died” and continues, in its 8-½ minutes, to chronicle the tumultuous 60′s point of view of the music changes. The first verse begins with the death of these three musicians and the last verse speaks of the death of Janis Joplin in 1970. The song is full of interesting references, so you’d better study the history and / or music lovers. We have integrated a video artist Don McLean’s exercise of his iconic songs.

I just put in miles. In doing exercises and drills speed hill, I saw a substantial improvement in my time. ”

To adapt exercises hill to flat terrain of Galveston, the group operates once a week by a local garage.

Texas Gulf Coast Running Club is also commissioning a contingent of runners in the marathon and half marathon.

Binetti and her husband, Frank, are ready for the marathon today, whatever the weather.

“They are forecasting rain, but it’s OK for me. If it rains, it will keep me cool. ”

Tiki Island resident Kim Small is also ready for whatever weather comes its way.

Seeing the snow falling in the Bayou City is a rare event, but there’s a chance it could happen this week.

11 News Meteorologist Mario Gomez said an explosion would blow the Arctic in the city on Tuesday, bringing with it some rain and a significant drop in temperatures.

How serious? We’re talking about a dip of 30 degrees in a few hours. Gomez said that we’ll start the day Tuesday in the 60s, but mercury accumulates in mid-to upper 30s in the evening.

“This will be a drastic change really,” said Gomez.

The National Weather Service issued a Freeze Watch hard to the Houston area early Tuesday night to Wednesday morning, when interim expected to fall below 25 degrees.

Time above can not get out of the 30s on Wednesday and Thursday, and lows will be in the 20s through Saturday.

But the chance for snow will not slide in the forecast until late Thursday.

Gomez said that the Arctic air would always be in the area when moving storm level in Thursday night to Friday morning – a formula that could produce snow.

Specifically, there will be a 20 percent chance for snow flurries Thursday night, more than a 40 percent chance on Friday morning.

Even if the snowfalls, well, Gomez said a significant accumulation is unlikely.

“It is an assessment on a daily basis. There is a possibility that we could see measurable snow, but probably not, “he said.” We see only a few days a year where we have opportunities, but it is one of between them. ”

Memorial has twice this month by taking the Stratford on January 8 and Cinco Ranch a week later, but the Mustangs did not face another team in two weeks. The layoffs are not a concern for Mauss.

“He will not play a factor on how we are doing at the district level,” Mauss said the two-week break. “We needed to be rested and healthy, then we planned two weeks of leave for this reason. The kids had a break. Regardless, we expect children to advance to the regional level. ”

For years, Memorial has used the district meet to prepare for the regional meeting. This year, the district come together should be more competitive.
Katy ISD schools have been teams who normally saw the Mustangs to regional competition.

The storm is unusual in that extremely cold weather preceded the snow and ice, rather than arriving at the same time. This resulted in freezing temperatures a significant lead in two days undermining the latent heat of roads and bridges.

Forecasters with the Houston / Galveston office of the National Weather Service said snow showers could begin this morning along the coast. But they do not expect the main event to begin until this afternoon or, more likely, sunset.

There may be snow and ice to the east and south of Houston, with the north of the snow is more likely and west of downtown. Accumulations of 1 to 3 inches of snow and sleet are expected for most of Harris County.

If the system develops as planned, road hazards will be higher tonight through Friday noon, when temperatures could raise for several hours just enough to melt ice or snow on the roads.

The sudden freeze that saw temperatures drop 50 degrees on two days could be worse today as snow and ice are expected to activate the shuttle tonight traitors.

Crews planned to spray in Houston second and third layers of anti-ice solution on highway overpasses and bridges, while trucks loaded with mixtures of rock and sand were ready to go when the snow makes driving risky conditions late in the day. City employees were prepared to use preventive measures like the roads are vulnerable.

The message for residents: If it’s snowing, stay home.

“Firstly, if you do not have to be on the road Friday at all, the best option is to not…” said Francisco Sanchez, spokesman for the Harris County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management, which established a command center Wednesday to coordinate responses to problems caused by weather.

Temperatures will be low in the 20s in a row tonight Katy Conroe. There is a potential for ice in eastern Harris County and perhaps as much as 4 inches of snow in the Piney Woods.

The region is likely to see more freezing Friday night before temperatures moderate finally Saturday.

Harris County has changed its level of emergency response readiness improved “and brought together members of various state and local agencies in the Texas Department of Transportation office in Houston to coordinate the response to the storm.

TxDOT trucks sprayed liquid magnesium chloride on highway overpasses and bridges, while the Harris County Toll Road Authority has done the same. Officials have focused on the heights, because they are exposed to more wind, which makes them more likely to freeze.

“We do what we can, but still enough snow or ice or sleet can make a dangerous road, so hopefully people will stay home,” said Chief Deputy Randy Johnson, the toll road authority.

Parker said the mayor Annise public works and road crews Engineering Department would be redirected to the laying of asphalt work defrost the freeze continues. At a news conference Wednesday, she reminds residents to take care of the “four P’s: People, animals, plants and pipes “” If you do not remember those last night, your plants are probably dead and you might have some problems with the pipes when they thaw, “said Parker.

The gel was already in trouble for residents on Wednesday morning.

Adriana Lima - Bought Miami Beach


The latest celebrities to benefit from Miami Beach’s down market: Brazilian model Adriana Lima and her husband, professional basketball player Marko Jaric.
The couple has bought a home in Miami Beach for $9 million, about 30% less than its original asking price. Lima, 27 years old, has been a Victoria’s Secret model since 2000 and last month gave birth to her first child with Jaric, who is a guard for the Memphis Grizzlies. Their new abode is a 7,500-square-foot Regency-style home on Indian Creek Island, a private 300-acre island with its own golf course and just 32 waterfront residences. Lima and Jaric’s home is on 1.84 acres on the south side of the island and has 200 feet of water frontage on Biscayne Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway. The property first came on the market in April for $12.9 million and was reduced to $10.9 million before Lima and Jaric scooped it up. It’s their first Miami residence.
The couple plan to completely remodel and expand the 1958 structure, says their broker, Nelson Gonzalez of Esslinger Wooten Maxwell Realtors, an affiliate of Christie’s Great Estates. The home was being sold by the estate of Arthur Appleton, a Chicago businessman whose wife was the late Martha O’Driscoll, a Hollywood starlet from the 1930s and 1940s.

Spring 2010 Fashion Week


New York Fashion Week (September 12, 2009) – Stacey Bendet once again brings her work to life with the launch of alice + olivia’s spring 2010 collection. This season the innovative designer will transform a raw gallery space in New York City’s meatpacking district into a live rock concert scene featuring a performance by French girl band Plastiscines and styled by Stacey’s longtime friends Anda and Masha. 
Following the success of the past themed presentations “alice in wonderland”, “breakfast in bed”, “hippy queen” and Mick Rock photo gallery at alice + olivia’s Bryant Park Store, Stacey once again spins a stylish tale through the music of the Plastiscines, enlisting the band to perform and promote the playful mood of the collection. Both the band and the runway models, posing as adoring fans, will showcase the designers’ spring looks.
Stacey’s inspiration for her spring 2010 collection was “the power of the female”. She wanted to represent girls “predicating sexuality, cleverness and charm” by combining influence from all the women who influence her every day.  Keeping her feminine side in mind, she set about to create a collection she describes as “playful with an edge”. The designer often credits her line as catering to every kind of woman; creating clothes that are meant to make a woman feel both sexy and sweet. After seeing the Plastiscines’ “Barcelona” video, Stacey decided that there was no better way to bring her spring collection to life than with a performance by the band.  The band exudes a “candy punk vibe” that is in tune with alice + olivia’s cleverly unique style.
Chic structured dresses in pale pinks, purples and neutrals are mixed with the brand’s traditional black and white colors. Small floral prints, embellished tops and structured jackets with cut out details define the flirty and inventive collection. alice + olivia will also showcase their basics line featuring t-shirts and button-downs in soft, butter-like fabrics, linens and metallics. This season alice + olivia also unveils their latest collaboration with the jewelry line Erickson Beamon and their continued partnership with Payless, featuring fashion-forward footwear for spring.  
Spring 2010 will also mark the launch of alice + olivia’s premiere high-end collection. The new line was created to add more diversity for their specialty stores and allow customers to have a more unique alice + olivia shopping experience.  The collection consists of hand worked pieces that use luxurious materials and detailed craftsmanship. These edgy and inventive designs will be available as part of a limited edition collection.  
As always, the imaginative and edgy collection will reflect Stacey’s lifestyle, as the ever busy designer continues to live bi-coastally and is mom to ten-month old daughter Eloise Breckenridge Eisner. Stacey views life and fashion as synonymous, and continues to find ways to creatively blend the two elements. With a chic spring collection brought to life by the Plasticines music, alice + olivia pushes the boundaries of art and fashion.
