Vans Warped Tour draws thousands to Holmdel despite grueling heat PHOTOS
HOLMDEL As music blared from speakers on eight different stages scattered throughout PNC Bank Art Center on Sunday, a couple phrases could repeatedly be heard cutting through even the heaviest of set lists.
The Vans Warped Tour drew thousands of music lovers of all ages to the PNC Bank Arts Center on Sunday.
But thanks to extremely hot temperatures with a good quality hermes replica heat index above 100 degrees dozens of these concertgoers spent part of their day being treated by emergency medical personnel instead of watching their favorite bands play.

"It's horrible," Woodbridge resident Scott Pagliaroli, 24, said of the heat. "But there's nothing you can do about the weather, so we're just trying to stay as hydrated as possible."
Thousands of concertgoers endured extremely hot temperatures in order to catch the 2015 Vans Warped Tour stop at PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel on Sunday. Many of those in attendance made stops at cooling stations like this one to try to beat the heat.
This year's Warped Tour stop in Holmdel featured an international crop of more than 80 bands many of which were from the pop punk and post hardcore genres including The Wonder Years, Asking Alexandria, Pierce The Veil and Simple Plan.
"There's something for everyone," Mandy Scialfa, 17, of Barnegat. "You get to see a lot of the bands you already like, but there's also so many different bands and different genres here, you also get to see a lot of bands for the first time."
But the Warped Tour is not only about the music.
Lining the spaces between the stages are dozens of merchandise tents for each of the bands, clothing and jewelry vendors, as well as several non profit organizations who travel with the Warped Tour each year in order to get their message out to thousands of youngsters.
One of the groups at the Holmdel stop on the tour was To Write Love on Her Arms, which is a non profit movement dedicated to helping people struggling with depression, addiction, self injury and suicide.
Since it began in 2006, To Write Love on Her Arms has donated more than $1.5 million to treatment and recovery efforts.
This is the ninth year To Write Love on Her Arms has been a part of Warped Tour.
"In 40 to 45 different cities, we have the opportunity to connect with approximately 600,000 to a million people. So it's a really unique and extraordinary opportunity to connect with the youth," said Jason Blades, the music and events coordinator for To Write Love on Her arms. "A lot of these kids are really passionate about getting involved and connected with something. They are empowered, and want to give back and to be part of something."
The Fakelife Clothing Co. was selling t shirts at replica hermes bracelets the 2015 Vans Warped Tour stop in Holmdel on July 19, 2015. A portion of the company's proceeds helps feed children in orphanages around the world. Currently, the company sends cash to orphanages in Nicaragua, Honduras, Ethiopia, Rwanda, India, South Africa, Haiti and the Philippines.
"The kids who come to the Warped Tour are a lot more socially aware than any of the other shows we go to," said Rick Armellino, who cheap fashion jewelry bracelets manages the clothing company's stint on the tour. "I think it's because the people who run the Warped Tour have done a really good job, since the beginning, of creating the underlying theme of diversity not just with the music, but the ideology as well."
Barnegat resident Mike Denti credited the musicians on tour with creating an atmosphere that encourages concertgoers to be open to new things.
"The bands here seem to take more pride in what they're doing, they're more engaging with their fans, during and after their performances, than a lot of the more mainstream artists. It's not like they're just here to play music and collect a check," said Denti, 18. "Because of that, I think that the people who come here are a lot happier and a lot more willing to listen to different types of music and also the different perspectives of some of the organizations here."
Edison resident Kelsey Lemus said she thinks the Warped Tour is popular with the non profit groups because of the large number of millennials who attend.
"I think people in our generation want change," said Lemus, 22. "They're unhappy with how things have replica hermes bags price been run until now and are willing to listen to new ideas on how to make things better."

Van Persie makes magic as United race to 20th league title
Manchester United reclaimed their Premier League crown in style on Monday as Robin van Persie's hat trick inspired a 3 0 win over Aston Villa that gave them an unassailable 16 point lead over Manchester grace kelly purse imitation City and erased the pain of last season.
Van Persie's goals after two, 13 and 33 minutes the second among the best ever scored at Old Trafford propelled Alex Ferguson's side to a record extending 20th league title in front of a jubilant home crowd.
After the hurt of having their crown snatched away by Manchester City on goal difference in stoppage time on the final day of the 2011 12 season, United were determined to make sure of the title with four games to spare.
"So we've all dug in deep, we've all worked together and done fantastic to get ourselves into this position and tonight we finished the job off."
With the championship guaranteed, United still have much to play for as they aim for 96 points to beat the record points total of 95 set by Chelsea in 2004 05.
With United's tally currently on 84 points, Ferguson's side remain on target to overhaul Chelsea's record provided they win their four remaining games.
"I'm so proud of everything I've achieved. I don't get carried away, I don't look back, only look forward," he told MUTV.
"There is no reason why we can't go on and improve for next year."
Ferguson, who has secured some of his 13 championships in strange places over the years including at the gym, on the golf course and while watching snooker, would agree nothing beats doing it at Old Trafford with "champions" ringing out.
Fans had already stocked up on T shirts, scarves and flags emblazoned with "20" before the game knowing they were unlikely to need a refund and their faith was justified with less than 90 seconds on the clock.
Rooney's diagonal ball from his own half found Antonio Valencia on the right wing and the Ecuadorian passed to Rafael who crossed to Ryan Giggs with the 39 year old pulling the ball back for Van Persie to tap in with ease.
The Dutchman could have scored a second a grace kelly purse copy minute later when he volleyed just over, while Rafael hit the post before Van Persie produced a candidate for goal of the season to double their lead in the 13th minute.
Another superb pass from Rooney from just inside his own half set up Van Persie for an exquisite left foot volley from just outside the box that flew past helpless Villa keeper Brad Guzan and into the net.
His third, on 33 minutes, again involved Giggs who was fed by Shinji Kagawa before finding Van Persie in the box. The Dutchman had time to shift the ball hermes kelly bag cost replica on to his left foot before sending it in off the post for his 24th league goal of the season making him the league's top scorer.
"The important thing was to win the game and we won the game. It was great to score so early," Van Persie told Sky Sports.
"I feel very happy, but it's weird you know, I have waited so long for my first title but it's a great feeling."
Villa, desperate for damage limitation in their relegation battle, did a better job of containing United in the second half and Van Persie was called on to demonstrate his worth at the other end of the field with a headed clearance off the line.
Kagawa missed a chance to give United a fourth, inexplicably firing high and wide, but that will be hermes kelly caleche faux forgotten as the party gets into full swing.
Television pictures from the club's in house MUTV station showed the players spraying champagne around the dressing room and jumping up and down on the benches.
United, who have 84 points to City's 68 with their neighbours having played one game fewer, head to Arsenal in their next match on Sunday where they can continue the party in front of Van Persie's former teammates.

Vettel Leads Red Bull Charge For Indian GP
Vettel, who can win his fourth straight title by finishing fifth or higher in Sunday's race, set the pace with a lap of 1:25.722s at the 5.125km Buddh International hermes kelly caleche copy Circuit to go 0.289s faster that Red Bull team mate Mark Webber.
The stark facts make the session appear business as usual for Vettel but it was not without its difficulties. For a start, he was hampered vintage kelly bag imitation by KERS problems the German's pace an ominous sign assuming the issue was not rectified, which is unclear and his car's rear brakes also left him pit bound at one stage.
More importantly in the context of the weekend ahead, both Vettel and Red Bull's cars suffered from blistering of the soft compound option tyre, particuarly on the left hand side.
He was not alone in that regard, with Sky Sports F1's Ted Kravitz reporting blistering and graining up and down the pitlane. However, with a concerned Adrian Newey joined by Pirelli Motorsport Director Paul Hembery in the Red Bull pits at one stage, the suggestion is that they might be struggling more than most.
There is no suggestion, however, that the soft tyre might pose a safety concern but assuming it fails to last in Sunday's race, it could lead to a strategy re think on the part of the teams.
Last year's race was a one stopper, with Pirelli bringing softer tyres in response to spice things up. Twelve months on, a two stop race is on the cards according grace kelly purse faux to Hembery, who appeared unconcerned by the blistering when he spoke grace kelly purse copy to Sky Sports F1's Martin Brundle afterwards.
"To get a two stop race, you've got to push with the choice and that's what we've done with the soft," he said. "As long as the teams can do the qualifying and the ten to 15 laps, which it seems they can Kimi and Fernando did 24 laps runs on the softs then we could be in for a two stop race," Hembery said.
"There were no issues with the medium tyre, which will be the main race tyre."
The session was not without its safety concerns, though, with Williams bringing their running to a premature halt after a wheel nut fell off Pastor Maldonado's car.
The incident, which came shortly after a tyre stop, was very similar to that which befell the Venezuelan during practice at the Japanese Grand Prix two weeks ago. On that occasion, Williams were fined by the FIA, which said it viewed the situation as "serious".
Behind the Red Bull pair, who also finished one two in the morning's session, came Lotus's Romain Grosjean, with Lewis Hamilton fourth for Mercedes ahead of Ferrari's Fernando Alonso.
Nico Rosberg (Mercedes) was sixth fastest ahead of Felipe Massa (Ferrari), with Kimi Raikkonen (Lotus) and McLaren pair Sergio Perez and Jenson Button completing the top ten.
Further down the order, Maldonado wound up 16th fastest, three places behind team mate Valtteri Bottas, while Paul Di Resta was 15th the Force India driver also three place behind his team mate Adrian Sutil.
At the back of the pack, Max Chilton was 22nd fastest, 1.4s down on Marussia team mate Jules Bianchi, who was nevertheless fractionally slower than the rival Caterham of Giedo van der Garde.

"The difference is that I am no longer the fat guy, Lester said. sold my for my chance to live. I would never trade the life I have now with. the endless opportunities I have in store for me, with my old life."
Lester started his acting career in the 1997 Nickelodeon film Good Burger, before going on to star as the lovable football player in teen drama Varsity Blues. He revealed in Knockoff hermes bag styles an interview earlier this year that filming the movie hit close to home, especially in scenes with Jon Voight, who played the football team's coach.
"I had the same feelings that my character had," he recalled. "Jon Voight is like a father figure to me, and after doing this movie, he just the greatest mentor I had. There were times, like in those scenes where he was chewing me out, I allowed the emotion to come out, because it was real."
He later starred on The WB show Popular for its two seasons, and spoofed his Varsity Blues character in Not Another Teen Movie. More recently he made an appearance on CSI: NY, and had a part in the upcoming film Bomb City. Lester was also behind coming of age movie Racing Legacy, that he starred in, co directed and wrote.

victim daughter says in opposing Van Houten parole
Cory LaBianca acknowledges that one of the Manson family members who was convicted of killing her father and stepmother in 1969 has done some good things during her decades behind bars.
It's what Leslie Van Houten did before ending up prison joining in the grisly slaying at the couple's Los Feliz home that should determine whether she should be freed, LaBianca says.
At one point choking up, LaBianca told The Times she was disappointed that a California review board on Thursday recommended parole for the 66 year old convicted murderer.
"I very much disagree with the ruling," she said in a rare telephone interview. "We all need to be held responsible for our behavior. The least we can do, for someone who commits a crime against another human being, is to keep them in jail."
LaBianca did not attend the parole hearing, held at the California Institution for Women in Chino, but her cousin attended. Her son listened via telephone, she said. At one point, she said, he couldn't bear to hear the detailed account of the slayings.
"He started crying. My son is 41 years old," LaBianca said. "He stood, crying, and told the [parole] commissioner, 'I can't listen to this.'"

Over the years, members of her family have attended parole hearings but for the most part, she said, they chose to remain in the background. When her mother and the ex wife of Leno LaBianca, Alice LaBianca, chose to speak out in 1998 against Van Houten's parole, it was considered a rare public statement.
On Thursday, as news set in that the board, after 19 prior denials, recommended parole for Van Houten, Cory LaBianca said she would ask Gov. Jerry Brown to block her release.
The ruling will be reviewed by the parole board's legal team. If upheld, it will be forwarded to Brown, who could decide against Van Houten's release. Forty six years and not a single serious rule violation."
Pfeiffer said that commissioners were impressed by how his client had spent her time in prison.
"A lot of people who oppose parole don't know anything about Leslie's conduct. Her role was bad. Everyone's was. But they don't know what she's done since then and all of the good she's done," Pfeiffer said.
To LaBianca, however, the accomplishments are eclipsed by the horror of what happened on Aug.

Van Gogh's paintings turning brown
Ella Hendriks of the Van Gogh Museum Amsterdam said: 'This type of cutting edge research is crucial to advance our understanding of how paintings age and should be conserved for future generations.'
Van Gogh's use of vibrant colours to convey mood and emotion was a milestone in the history of art and influenced generations of painters.
The new study looked at one of the 'new' paints chrome yellow which first appeared in the early 1800s. The warm orange yellow paint was made of toxic lead chromate and like many of the pigments of the period was chemically unstable.
Even in the 19th century, painters knew copy cuff bracelets for women that it turned to brown or faded over time. However, art restorers have long puzzled over why not all paintings using chrome yellow fade and why some darken faster than others.
The team of international scientists collected samples from three historic, half used tubes of paint.
After the samples were artificially aged for 500 hours under an ultraviolet lamp, only one sample from a paint tube belonging to the Flemish artist Rik Wouters, darkened to a chocolate brown.
The scientists used the same methods to study samples from two van Gogh paintings his 1888 View of Arles with Irises, and his 1887 Bank of the Seine Knockoff hermes leather bags from the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.
The sample was analysed using an array of analytical tools, including the synchrotron X ray equipment at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, France.
The different contrast in the yellow colours used by the artist can be seen in Wheat Fields With Reaper, which was exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in Central London last year
Using the synchrotron's microscopic beam of X rays one hundred times thinner than the width of human hair, they found that a chemical reaction called oxidation reduction was altering the chromium atoms in the paint.
The reaction which leads to chromium atoms gaining extra electrons is triggered by sunlight and UV light penetrating the surface of the paint.
The change was most common in the presence of sulphur and barium ingredients added to lead white paint in the 19th century. The scientists believe van Gogh's technique of blending white and yellow paint may have caused the fading.
Dr Koen Janssens from Antwerp University, who published the findings in the journal Analytical Chemistry, said: 'Our next experiments are already in the pipeline. Obviously, we want to understand which conditions favour the reduction of chromium, and whether there is any hope to revert pigments to the original state in paintings where it is already taking place.'
Dr Marine Cotte, an ESRF scientist also working at copy white enamel jewelry La Muse du Louvre, said: 'Our X ray beam is one hundred times thinner than a human hair, fake enamel on gold jewelry and it reveals subtle chemical processes over equally minuscule areas.
'Making this possible has opened the door to a whole new world of discovery for art historians and conservators.'

Vancouver's hot rental market a challenge for students
VANCOUVER Madeleine Davis expects she could be couch surfing with friends when she heads back to university this fall. philosophy student and her two roommates, who have been searching since Aug. 1 for an affordable house close to the UBC campus.
"We're definitely running out of time," Davis, 22, said Tuesday. "We've had a lot of near misses but a lot of trouble finding somewhere. We're still looking and following up leads but it's quite a difficult time right now because everybody's looking."
Davis and her friends, who returned home after separate overseas experiences and internships this summer, never expected it would be so hard to find new digs.
But they're also in new territory: the copy cuff bracelets for women trio wants to live close to the university where rents tend to be higher than average at between $550 and $750 per room and they're facing increased competition from graduates, young families and many of the other 300,000 plus post secondary students vying for the same space in an ever tightening rental market.
Vacancy rates in Metro Vancouver edged downward in 2013, dropping to 1.7 per cent from 1.8 per cent in 2012, making it one of the lowest vacancy rates among the 27 centres surveyed in the province, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.'s latest Rental Market Report, released last fall.
Two bedroom apartments saw the biggest drop in vacancy rates, while rents rose marginally for one and three bedroom units across the region to an average of $1,005 per month.
A one bedroom in the City of Vancouver, for instance, went for an average of $1,090, compared with $1,198 in the West End and downtown, $953 in Richmond, $1,005 in North Vancouver, $900 in Burnaby and $751 in Surrey.
The University Endowment Lands had the highest rents for one bedroom units at an average $1,347 per month, followed by West Vancouver at $1,281 per month.
But for many students, even those average rents are way out of their league, and the suites may not even be suitable.
"It just gets really stressful, that you're going to be settling for something or paying more than you wanted to," said Raven Nyman, a third year UBC student who just signed a lease. "There were a lot of places we saw that were not the best."
Richard Sam, principal of surveys for CMHC, said the lower vacancy rate in Metro Vancouver is a Knockoff hermes leather bags simple tale of supply and demand, scripted by improving employment trends among the younger population who tend to rent, as well as a boost in international non resident migration.
Most new migrants tend to stay in and around the downtown city core when they first arrive, driving up the demand for rental housing. The University Endowment Lands and city of Vancouver had the lowest vacancy rates, for instance, while Surrey, Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows had the most rental room to spare.
"We're just seeing more of an influx of students, to be honest," Sam said. "It's more of a supply and demand issue so we're seeing more students looking for placements around the universities. I would think the same thing is happening around Simon Fraser University in Burnaby."
He noted two bedroom units Knockoff orange hermes bag are seeing the lower vacancies as students seek to double up and share the rent in this hot button market.
John Calveley, of Alma Mater Society at UBC, said there has been a rising trend of students seeking two and three bedroom units off campus in the past few years as rents rose by five to 10 per cent.
While first year students can stay on campus, there's a wait list at both UBC and SFU, which means more people are looking for places outside.
Davis, who spent last Knockoff hermes orange bag year living near Commercial Drive in a five bedroom house for $2,500 per month, acknowledges it would be cheaper to live further away from the university but she doesn't want to face a hour long bus commute.
"It makes sense for us as students to live close to UBC," she said.
Nyman agrees. She has been living with family in North Vancouver this summer but wanted to find something in Dunbar, Kitsilano or Kerrisdale to avoid the cross town commute. She finally struck it lucky last weekend when she and two friends snagged a basement suite at Camosun and 41st Avenue.
Not only is it in a great location it's at the last bus stop before campus but is less than $500 per month for each of the girls, who had been prepared to pay at least $100 more than that.
"I don't know how we found it," said Nyman, 19. "I'm so happy."
Like Davis, Nyman was worried she wasn't going to find a suitable home in time. Although she started scouring the housing ads in April, there was nothing for students listed on Craigslist or Kijiji until August, which meant there was a run on the available spots.
In the past few weeks, Nyman and her friends viewed nearly 10 places, finding some that didn't even have promised amenities like a stove or washer and dryer.
In some cases, they arrived at an open house to find someone else signing a lease. And even when they found their dream suite on Camosun, it wasn't a given that they would get it, with at least 50 others wanting the space.
"You have to go a little out of your comfort zone because you have to be aggressive and persistent," Nyman said. "I really had to continue to text and call (the landlord). I had to be persistent to stay on his radar because there were so many good applicants. We had to stick out so we could snag the place."
Davis agreed that students have to be persuasive to get a spot, especially when they're up against families or experienced workers who have references to back up their applications.
"We're looking for anything. We haven't actually been that picky," she said. "The biggest problem we have is to try to convince people they should take a chance on us."

Van Heeren's legal marathon keeps on running
The New Zealand Herald11:10pm Wed 24 MayNetworkHelp SupportFormer partner still awaiting payout, despite winning in court.

Huka Lodge, one of New Zealand's best known luxury retreats, is at the heart of an acrimonious dispute between 69 year old Alex van Heeren and 74 year old Michael Kidd.
The two businessmen have had a marathon 20 year court battle in New Zealand and South Africa over Huka Lodge and a number of other assets.
The courts have found in favour of Kidd and ordered van Heeren to pay US$25 million ($37 million) plus costs.
Van Heeren claims he cannot pay the US$25 million because most of his assets have been transferred to tax haven based entities over which he has no control.
The story goes back to the mid 1970s, when British born Kidd and Dutch born van Heeren worked for a steel trading company in Johannesburg. In 1975 they set up their own steel trading company and in 1979 they formed Genan Trading in the Netherlands Antilles, a Caribbean tax haven. The formation of the company was effected in the Netherlands, with Kidd and van Heeren holding 50 per cent each.
Genan generated huge cash surpluses from steel trading based on Kidd's trading expertise while van Heeren looked after the company's finances.
In the early 1980s, the two shareholders, who were concerned about the political situation in South Africa, decided to emigrate to New Zealand under our "entrepreneurial scheme". They were both granted residency and purchased homes in Auckland. They also acquired a New Zealand company, Prime International Ltd.
Van Heeren moved to New Zealand in 1981 but Kidd stayed in South Africa because Genan Trading and a number of jointly owned South African companies continued to operate in the African country. Kidd moved back to the United Kingdom in 1987 to replica hermes handbags be closer to his family.
Van Heeren wasted no time in New Zealand. He was captivated by Huka Lodge when he saw it for the first time from the footbridge over the Huka Falls.
The Dutchman was appointed Honorary Consul for The Netherlands in Auckland in 1985, a position he held until 2012.
Van Heeren now gives his home address in Belgium, where he is the Honorary Consul for New Zealand to a number of Belgian provinces.
Meanwhile, back in the 1980s van Heeren purchased a significant shareholding in Wellesley Resources, one of the high flying NZX property companies in the mid 1980s. He sold the stake for $30 million just three months before the 1987 sharemarket crash. The Wellesley investment demonstrated that van Heeren fake hermes leather handbags was an astute investor.
However, the two partners began to have major disagreements in the late 1980s. In 1991 they finalised an agreement how much is a hermes handbag in South Africa to terminate their relationship and divide their business assets. This agreement has been at the centre of their bitter dispute.
Meanwhile, van Heeren continued to expand his New Zealand business network. In 1993 he obtained a 9.1 per cent shareholding in the Fay, Richwhite consortium that purchased New Zealand Rail from the Crown.
New Zealand Rail changed copy hermes bags its name to Tranz Rail and listed on the NZX. In 1998 van Heeren sold his shares for a profit of more than $42 million, just before Tranz Rail's share price crashed.
In February 1996 Kidd filed proceedings in New Zealand challenging aspects of his 1991 agreement with van Heeren.

The courts have found in favour of Kidd and ordered van Heeren to pay US$25 million ($37 million) plus costs.
Van Heeren claims he cannot pay the US$25 million because most of his assets have been transferred to tax haven based entities over which he has no control.
The story goes back to the mid 1970s, when British born Kidd and Dutch born van Heeren worked for a steel trading company in Johannesburg. In 1975 they set up their own steel trading company and in 1979 they formed Genan Trading in the Netherlands Antilles, a Caribbean tax haven. The formation of the company was effected in the Netherlands, with Kidd and van Heeren holding 50 per cent each.
Genan generated huge cash surpluses from steel trading based on Kidd's trading expertise while van Heeren looked after the company's finances.
In the early 1980s, the two shareholders, who were concerned about the political situation in South Africa, decided to emigrate to New Zealand under our "entrepreneurial scheme". They were both granted residency and purchased homes in Auckland. They also acquired a New Zealand company, Prime International Ltd.
Van Heeren moved to New Zealand in 1981 but Kidd stayed in South Africa because Genan Trading and a number of jointly owned South African companies continued to operate in the African country. Kidd moved back to the United Kingdom in 1987 to replica hermes handbags be closer to his family.
Van Heeren wasted no time in New Zealand. He was captivated by Huka Lodge when he saw it for the first time from the footbridge over the Huka Falls.
The Dutchman was appointed Honorary Consul for The Netherlands in Auckland in 1985, a position he held until 2012.
Van Heeren now gives his home address in Belgium, where he is the Honorary Consul for New Zealand to a number of Belgian provinces.
Meanwhile, back in the 1980s van Heeren purchased a significant shareholding in Wellesley Resources, one of the high flying NZX property companies in the mid 1980s. He sold the stake for $30 million just three months before the 1987 sharemarket crash. The Wellesley investment demonstrated that van Heeren fake hermes leather handbags was an astute investor.
However, the two partners began to have major disagreements in the late 1980s. In 1991 they finalised an agreement how much is a hermes handbag in South Africa to terminate their relationship and divide their business assets. This agreement has been at the centre of their bitter dispute.
Meanwhile, van Heeren continued to expand his New Zealand business network. In 1993 he obtained a 9.1 per cent shareholding in the Fay, Richwhite consortium that purchased New Zealand Rail from the Crown.
New Zealand Rail changed copy hermes bags its name to Tranz Rail and listed on the NZX. In 1998 van Heeren sold his shares for a profit of more than $42 million, just before Tranz Rail's share price crashed.
