However, this gorgeous red polish from Butter London has taken me by surprise, and certainly is worth talking about.
Join the conversation!
Beautiful colorsReplyDelete
You used to change color EVERY DAY??? Wow! I don't think I ever had that patience ;)ReplyDelete
Ladybird is certainly gorgeous, and I love the geranium photo you found. It is exactly that! I don't think I have a real orange red. The warmest red I have is Dior Pandore, but I don't think it's nearly as orange as this!
What a beautiful, striking red shade! I keep looking at this one in the store, but I haven't picked it up yet.ReplyDelete
Maybe I should :)
This shade is freaking beautiful! I actually have very few red shades and no orange toned reds! I would love some deep berry reds right about now actually. That's awesome that it applies like butter!ReplyDelete
Ladybird is so cheerful and so pretty!ReplyDelete
So pretty! I've never tried Butter London polishes, but they seem to have a lot of nice ones. This colour reminds me of MAC's Lady Danger lipstick!ReplyDelete
I think I need a tomato red polish, too. I have...a Butter London red. I can't remember which one it is now, though, lol. Maybe it is Come to Bed Red.ReplyDelete
I agree with you - I like keeping my nails and toes painted (and thus need variety), but I only do nails maybe once a week or once every ten days...just to keep them looking neat and well groomed!
We will never get enough red, right? :P.. Ladybird looks like a classic red that will go with almost anything ^^ReplyDelete
I love red nail polishes and don't mind the one with orange undertone! I have 3 Butter London glitter nail polishes and they are good but I don't think they're worth the €18 price tag here.. I don't know how much they cost there in the US? I'd prefer to spend 3-4€ more and get haute nail polishes like Dior or YSL :-DReplies
So true, Pam! :)Delete
Maybe haute brands are a bit more affordable over there, but here in the U.S., Butter London is only half the price, generally speaking. Considering that, it is absolutely worth it. But true I only like creme polishes from the brand. :)
Ah, I love Butter nail polishes. And this is such a great color! I love how vibrant it is!ReplyDelete
I have a lot of nail polish but only a few reds, and none of them are that PERFECT go-to shade of red, if you know what I mean. I like the two BLs you showed. I've kind of sworn off the brand after discovering they weren't actually British (LOL) but they do have some nice basic core colours.ReplyDelete
And I'm totally with you on nail polish being a chore. I'm still interested becausepretty! but reapplication has become a total snoozefest.Replies
LOL they're not? ;D I still like the brand better than Deborah Lippmann, for example. Maybe it is because I happen to really adore some of the colors (all creme finish) from BL. DL is more for glitter lovers which I'm not.Delete
I used to be afraid of wearing any red, then the old age happened. I'm embracing more colors lately! ;)
I'm so set for Come To Bed Red that I'm not even really looking (I will repurchase this), but I'd look essie or even revlon if it's for nice reds.
I think I kind of hate the filing, buffing, cuticle-pushing part although painting is still fun. I just gave myself a proper mani/pedi last night and I was exhausted. ;-(
LOVE LOVE this shade!! It's so vibrant and statement-making! As soon as I saw this image on my feed, I went all ga-ga. Seriously though, this shade is everything!ReplyDelete
Stephanie | theFantasia.comReplies
Thanks, Stephanie. Me, too! :)Delete
I was surprised myself because I never loved anything orange tinged on my tips before.
And I just saw a gorgeous shade called "Orange Fusion" (YSL) from another beauty bloggers, and it is absolutely gorgeous. Very similar to this one, it seems. :)
I don't have many reds at all. I like my nail colours either nude or dark, and if they are colours, I prefer them to be a little muted. I love how this looks on you though!ReplyDeleteReplies
I understand. Maybe it is also the climates? I myself wear nudes and darks a lot during the summer time when I wear more colorful outfits. In winter, I wear all black almost everyday so I need a pop of color on my tips. That's when rich reds and jewel tones come in handy.Delete
For a muted red, how about Essie Bordeaux? It is such a beautiful shade that you'd love. :)
Ooh, gorgeous! I'm a sucker for an orange red :)ReplyDelete
I don't own any oranges either, don't usually feel drawn to them, but this is pretty! Wow that is amazing you changed both finger and toe nail colors daily in the past! I barely manage 2-3 wks for toes and actually rarely paint my fingers :PReplyDelete
Boo I commented then it disappeared after I clicked publish! I never tried butter polishes and I reallllly want to hop on to that brand, but it's $17 a bottle in Canada :/ I used to rotate between nail colours every 3 days around, but nowadays I keep them for up to a week even though they're chipping and all :P I think I have a orangey-red colour from Essie that I really like, I much prefer them than true reds!ReplyDelete
Macarons and MischiefReplies
Awww, sorry about that, Wheetnee! Blogger can be so wonky so often. And thanks for taking time to leave another comment! :)Delete
BL is around $15 here so the difference isn't so big, but I usually go for 2 Essie bottle for that kind of money, you know? But I do love some of the BL polishes. I never liked orange toned colors on me, so this is quite exciting. ^-^

Aah! Red-tipped high fives for you, my friend! Come to Bed Red is my ultimate red polish too :-) Now you've made me want Ladybird, dammit! Although oranges are tricky for me makeup-wise, it's all fair game on the nails. This looks like a gorgeous orange red, and of course BL's creme formula is to die for (their glitters, on the other hand *cough*). ;-)ReplyDeleteReplies
Haha, I couldn't agree with you more. I'd spend my money on Deborah Lippmann if it is for glitters.Delete
Ladybird is orange red but not with the retro finish, which I think is why even I can pull it off. I just saw YSL shade called Orange Fusion and drooled over. It was quite similar to Ladybird, though. :)

Oooh this is such a pretty warm red! Lovely!ReplyDelete
SO bright!!! What a cheerful red. I love nail polishes with high shine and Butter London seems to deliver! My nails grow fast, too, but I'm not complaining. ;DReplyDelete

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- The oil refiner Tesoro Corp. said Wednesday that it has agreed to buy Chevron Pipe Line Co.'s Northwest Products System for $400 million.
The Northwest Products System includes the Northwest Product Pipeline, a 760-mile regulated pipeline that extends from Utah to Washington, a separate five-mile jet fuel pipeline to the Salt Lake City International Airport and the Northwest Terminalling Co., which includes three refined product terminals in Idaho and Washington.
The San Antonio-based oil refiner said the combination of the system with its existing terminal assets in the region will help lower overall costs and increase third-party revenue.
The pipeline receives products from five refineries and one pipeline in the Salt Lake City area. Delivery volumes on the system averaged about 84,000 barrels per day in 2011. The terminals have a total storage capacity of 1.3 million barrels and delivered about 51,000 barrels per day in 2011, Tesoro said.
Tesoro shares rose 41 cents to $41.27 in morning trading. They are near the high end of their 52-week range of $20.77 to $44.73.

The social media firm said it originally began developing the wind farm with developer RMP Access, but the rights to the project were transferred to MidAmerican in the spring.
Facebook said the wind farm is expected to add more power to the grid than the data centre will require when it starts handling traffic in 2015, therefore securing renewable energy certificates for the facility.
Work has now started on the Wellsburg wind farm, with completion expected in 2014. It was revealed earlier in November that Siemens 2.3MW turbines will be used on this, and four other wind farms being developed by MidAmerican across Iowa.
In April, MidAmerican was given the green light for the development of 1.05GW of wind power in the Midwestern state by the end of 2015.
Facebook reiterated its commitment to reaching its target of sourcing 25% of its power from renewable sources by 2015.

Canadian producer-financier Aaron Gilbert talks to Jeremy Kay about Berlin entry A Single Shot, his stable of film companies and upcoming projects.
When David M Rosenthal's A Single Shot premieres in the Berlinale's Panorama programme on Feb 9, it will signify a moment of great pride for Aaron Gilbert. The Canadian producer-financier has devoted a lot of time to building up a stable of businesses and the crime thriller marks the first collaboration between two of his companies, Bron Studios and Media House Capital.
"The quality of our films and the quality of our partners gets stronger and stronger," says Gilbert, a former animation executive who turned to his advantage years of experience in that arena as well as in motion picture business affairs, financing and licensing.
He launched the British Columbia-based Bron Studios several years ago with the goal of growing a stable of artistically and commercially appealing properties. It recently completed production on Trust Me, a comedy directed by and starring Clark Gregg, who previously directed Sam Rockwell in an adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's Choke.
Trust Me also stars Rockwell and Amanda Peet. Gilbert places great emphasis on lasting relationships with talent and Rockwell is also the lead in A Single Shot, playing somewhat against type as a hunter who incurs the wrath of redneck criminals.
The Berlin-bound thriller married Bron Studios with Media House Capital, the senior debt lender Gilbert set up, he says, after listening to the needs of the marketplace. "The experience I had with broadcasters and in publishing and music and the finance world helped me launch Media House Capital," he says.
"We identified an opportunity in the independent film space that didn't have a tremendous amount of competition and was needed. In other words, a senior lender that can operate nimbly and work with film-makers and be more than a banker on the other side of the desk. We are on to our 14th and 15th films."
Media House Capital is always the first position senior debt lender and will loan up to 35% against a production budget. To date it has invested in Toronto 2012 hit Ginger & Rosa, as well as upcoming releases The English Teacher starring Greg Kinnear, Lullaby with Garrett Hedlund, Elsa & Fred with Shirley MacLaine and Christopher Plummer, and Australian production Son Of A Gun to star Ewan McGregor.
The lender launched the Crystal Wealth Strategic Media Fund in 2011. "[The fund] has gone very well and we are in the process of setting up a second that will be a little bit different and will be operational in 2013," says Gilbert, adding that the investment entity will become involved in bigger budgets.
"My intention with Media House Capital is a long-term business for me but I like how it introduces me to wonderful talents," says Gilbert.
A corollary to Bron Studios is the newly launched Bron Empire, a strategic partnership with writer-director Deon Taylor's California-based Hidden Empire Film Group dedicated to producing genre, sports and music-oriented films.
Gilbert met Taylor through his casting agent on A Single Shot, Mary Vernieu. Media House invested in Taylor's drama Supremacy, which is expected out later this year, and the new partners have wasted little time assembling the Bron Empire slate, where budgets can range from $1m to $10m.
"Our first picture is called Akuma and it's in post. It's a new genre for us [found footage]," says Gilbert. Post-apocalyptic horror title Terminated will star the rapper Common and is set to shoot in February, while the American football heist tale Free Agents aims to shoot in the spring.
To ensure he does not get too idle, Gilbert also runs Bron Animation, which is in development on its first project, Sole Mates. "A lot of the animation business in Canada is as service provider. Sony is here, Pixar is here, but for the most part they are servicing their US parent.
"The reason we have been able to attract such talented senior people is because they are part of a company that's producing original IP. Everything Bron Animation produces is something we own or co-own."
Bron Animation and all its corporate siblings will be housed within a new 20,000 sq ft venue outside Vancouver. "We are just getting started," says Gilbert.
Aaron Gilbert
- Born in Ontario, Canada, Gilbert has worked in animation, business affairs, finance and sales in Los Angeles, Vancouver and southeast Asia.
- He began his career in music and led management teams in the US, Canada and the UK.
- He has worked for Mainframe Entertainment, Rainmaker Entertainment, Global Media Invest and Pittard Sullivan.
- His producer credits include A Single Shot, Trust Me and Akuma, and he took executive producer roles on I Melt With You, Janie Jones and Decoding Annie Parker.

Honeywell UV100A1059 single bulb 36 watt system. Designed for surface treatment and to be placed in the supply duct in the air conditioning evaporator coil compartment. The lamp stays on all the time to treat the condensation. The UV100A1059 is a complete system (as shown in our photos) that includes the base unit with a 120v cord and plug. The 36 watt bulb and knob is included. Two sheet metal screws are included for mounting the unit in the duct. The Honeywell UV100A1059 utilizes a 36 watt Philips Hot Cathode Germicidal Sterilamp™ Tube. Bulb life expectancy is 8000 hours.
In 2002 Honeywell introduced SmartLamp technology. This is a new set of features that is built into some models. These models have an additional circuit board and may also have an air flow sensor. The UV100A1059 does not have the sensor. SmartLamp units include an LED indicator to provide a reminder on when to change the bulb. The SmartLamp circuitry monitors the actual run time and the bulb replacement is based on this run time. The LED will flash after 90% usage and turn on constant after 100% usage. After replacing the bulb the reset button is used to restart the reminder cycle. The UV100E1059 does not have SmartLamp. SmartLamp units also have the Honeywell Enviracom feature. Enviracom allows the UV to be controlled remotely or to send status information. Compatible Honeywell thermostats can turn on and off the UV. Additionally, status information such as when to change the bulb can be sent to the Honeywell Telephone Remote Access Module. This allows your Heating and Cooling company to automatically know when your UV needs service (a service contract would be required). SmartLamp units without an air flow sensor will cycle on and off to extend bulb life (when not controlled by an Enviracom thermostat or other devices). They will run for three hours and then turn off for three hours. SmartLamp units with the air flow sensor turn on the lamp when air flow is present and will turn off the lamp 40 minutes after air flow has stopped. Turning off the lamp extends bulb life as well as reduces energy usage.
Ultraviolet light or UV radiation is very damaging to your eyes. UV rays can damage both the eyes surface and the interior of your eyes such as the retina. The Honeywell UV systems (UV100a1059) have a safety interlock switch that prevents running the unit without being installed in the ductwork. Also the dual lamp models require both knob/bulbs to be installed. To view illumination a light pipe indicator is built-in to the knob. The indicator will have a violet glow when running.
Honeywell UV systems were first introduced in 2000. Honeywell then offered the UV100A and UV100E series. Then the only difference between the UV100A and UV100E was the color scheme. The UV100A models originally came with slate color tones. Whereas the UV100E had blue knobs and the base was white. See new and old photos below.
The UV100E models come with a five year warranty whereas the UV100A has a one year warranty. All Honeywell UV models sold by Bel-Aire are brand new and factory fresh with the latest warranty benefits. The warranty does not cover the bulb as they have an effective operating life of 8000 hours (approx one year if running full time). See the UV100E or UV100A Owners manual for complete warranty info.
The UV100E series was introduced under the Honeywell Enviracaire Elite brand. This new brand was designed to be more appealing to the residential customer. The Enviracaire Elite brand had a new bold look of blue and white. The UV100A series was under the traditional Tradeline brand with the gray color scheme shown below. With the success of the new look, the tradeline color scheme was phased out. All the new UV100A and UV100E systems now have the bold blue and white color scheme.
Now the difference between the UV100A and UV100E is SmartLamp. The UV100E has SmartLamp features that include cycling the lamp on and off to extend bulb life (see SmartLamp section below). The UV100A models do not have SmartLamp and simply run when plugged in.
In 2005 Honeywell introduced the SnapLamp feature. These newer units have a bulb that detaches from the knob, thus service only requires replacing the bulb. Earlier units had the knob and bulb affixed with epoxy and thus both the bulb and knob needed to be replaced as one assembly. Customers that have the earlier knob-bulb assembly need to purchase the new detachable bulb assembly. Then future service only will require purchasing the bulb only. Bulb-knob assemblies with the detachable bulb are labeled. The label will note the replacement part number UC18W1004 or UC36W1006. The new knob-bulb assembly may have the blue or slate color scheme.
The Honeywell warranty for our new UV100E2009, UV100E3007, UV100E1043, is five years and the UV100A1059 is one year. Our customers simply ship us the defective unit. We test and confirm defective. We then ship back a brand new unit. The bulbs are not covered. See the Owner's manual for details, page 12.

Apple iOS 4 review
Though Thursday's release of the iPhone 4 is getting the most fervent attention, Apple's iOS 4 is just as significant. CNET takes a look at the biggest offerings in this initial review.
Editors' note: Apple made iOS 4 available on Monday, June 21. The download is free for both iPhone and iPod Touch users, but it is incompatible with first-generation models of either device. The iPhone 3G will support most iOS 4 features except multitasking and home screen backgrounds.
Apple kicked off an action-packed week today with the full release of iOS 4, its newest operating system for iPhone and iPod Touch devices. Though we've been playing with the developer's version on an
In fact, we'll go so far as to say that iOS 4 is just as significant a development as Thursday's release of the
Though you've always been able to multitask with native iPhone features like the music player, the option is now available for third-party apps. Your primary access point is a multitasking menu that's accessible by double tapping the Home button. Once there, you'll see a list of currently running applications along the bottom of the display that you can scroll through using a sideways finger swipe. The pop-up menu shows only four apps at a time, and we're still investigating whether you're limited as to how many apps you can open at once.
Hands-on with iOS 4 (photos)See all photos
Managing the multitasking menu couldn't be easier. To open a running app, scroll though the menu and tap its icon once. When you're ready to end an app, first use a long press on the related icon and then click the tiny delete icon in the top left corner. Switching among apps is a simple process as well: as you move back and forth, you'll return to the exact point you left.
But is it real multitasking?
As you'd expect, Apple's multitasking works a little differently than on other smartphones. Instead of having all device resources available to every running app, iOS 4 lets only seven app services run in the background. These include audio (you'll be able to play Pandora radio, for example), VoIP services like Skype, GPS/location for apps like TomTom, push notifications, local notifications (those that don't to have to go through a server), task completion (users get an alert when a process is finished), and fast app switching (apps essentially hibernate not to use the CPU). According to Apple, this arrangement will have less of a drain on resources like battery life and memory than if it gave developers free rein. Also, pausing most background apps will free the system from having to juggle resources and kill stalled applications.
Though some have complained that the built-in limitations mean that iOS 4 doesn't have "real" multitasking, we think "incomplete" is a better description. Granted, you can't run everything in the background, but iOS 4 does allow you to run certain features from multiple apps simultaneously. If that isn't multitasking, then we don't know what is. What's more, it wouldn't be the first time Apple limited features or took longer with development in order to produce a desired customer experience. You may not agree with such a philosophy, but Apple has always been honest about pursuing it. Like with so many other things in technology, it comes down to what works best for you.
Nice, but not miles ahead
On the whole, we were quite pleased with the multitasking experience. As it has a talent for doing, Apple has presented the feature in a slick, easy-to-use manner. It performed beautifully without ever crashing or freezing the phone; it didn't appear to negatively affect our iPhone 3G's battery (we'll follow up with more-thorough testing in that regard once we get an iPhone 4); and it accomplishes what it sets out do. But even with strong points, we wouldn't agree that it's the "the best" way to multitask (a common Apple claim). It may save you a few clicks, but other approaches--such as the "deck of cards" interface on
We also don't share CEO Steve Jobs' view that Apple's solution isn't a task manager. When he unveiled iOS 4 in April, Jobs took a dig at Android and other operating systems that require you to close background applications that might be slowing down the phone. "In multitasking, if you see a task manager...they blew it," he said. "Users shouldn't ever have to think about it." Fair enough, but we think it's a matter of semantics. As with most task managers, the iOS 4 multitasking menu allows you to scan through running applications and close any that you're no longer using. Granted, you may not have to kill frozen applications as often as you would on, say, a Windows Mobile phone, but you still have that option. We also found usability quirks that are common with task manager apps. Pressing the Home button once, for example, simply sends an app to the background; it does not end it completely. To do so, you'll need to open the multitasking menu, find the related icon, and end it there.
Home screen folders
Though we love apps as much as the next person, we've become tired of scrolling through several pages of iPhone home screens. Thankfully, that has changed with the addition of home screen folders. This is another common feature that competing devices have long offered, so it's nice to see Apple stepping.
To get started, use a long press on the home screen so the icons "jiggle." When your icons are dancing (they'll also have a tiny delete icon in the corner) you can take an app and drop it on top of another to create a folder. The folder will then appear as a square with tiny icons of the included app inside. Tap the folder to access the included apps and get an expanded view of the folder's contents. Alternatively, if you want to remove an app, just drag it back to the home screen.
Thankfully, you're awarded a fair amount of flexibility for folder organization. You can add as many folders as you like, change the default folder name, and add both related and unrelated apps. Surprisingly, we could even group legacy features like the Weather and Stock applications into a single folder. The process is easy, though we wouldn't say it offers a huge change from the equivalent experience on Android. And really, Apple, we're limited to just 12 apps in one folder?
E-mail changes
Though the iPhone always has been a functional e-mail machine, we never enjoyed switching back and forth among multiple accounts to read new messages. Fortunately, iOS 4 has a new unified in-box that is accessible under the "Mail" option on your home screen. Listed above your individual in-boxes is a new option for "All inboxes," which contains messages from multiple accounts. You can't access individual folders from the universal in-box, but you can delete and move messages. Here again, it works well, but it's not vastly superior to how competing OSes handle the same process.
Other e-mail changes include the capability to add multiple Exchange accounts, organize e-mails by thread, jump directly to individual in-boxes, and open attachments with a preferred app. All are nice, but we'll delve into a couple of our favorites for more detail. E-mails in a thread will now be designated by a small number on the left side of the message header. Clicking the number will take you to a separate screen that lists all relevant messages. It's a nice touch, and we like that you can move or delete messages in the thread. We also like the new option to delete e-mails directly from search results.
Home screen customization
Unlike the previous three features, this change was low on our wish list, but Apple's done a decent job rolling it out. Sure, you always could change the standard black background using a third-party app, but iOS 4 adds the native capability to the iPhone and iPod Touch. First, find the "wallpaper" option in the Settings menu and choose either a provided wallpaper or a photo in your camera roll. After making your selection, you'll have the option to set it as the wallpaper for your home screen, the lock screen, or both.
It's all straightforward, but there are a few troublesome trade-offs. First off, we can't fathom why the iPhone 3G didn't get this option. Also, keep in mind that once you ditch the standard black background, there's no way to get it back. You can take a photo of a black wall, the night sky, or a dark room, but that's hardly the same thing. And don't be surprised to find that some of your native wallpapers have been replaced by new options. Apple giveth, and Apple hath taken away.
Camera zoom
You'll have to wait for the iPhone 4 to get a 5-megapixel shooter, but iOS 4 adds a 5x zoom for the still camera. When taking a photo, just tap the screen to see the zoom bar. Use your finger to pan in and out, but remember that since this is digital zoom, picture quality will degrade as you zoom in.
Spell check
The iPhone has long had an autocorrect feature that changes words as you type, but we've never considered it to be completely useful. That's why we're bigger fans of the new spell check feature that notifies you of unrecognized or misspelled words with a red underline. It works when you're composing both e-mails and text messages, and you get a list of suggested corrections. We'd like more suggestions, but that's a small point.
Tap-to-focus video
On the iPhone 3GS you can use the tap-to-focus feature in the still and video cameras. We've never found that this feature makes that much of a difference, but it certainly doesn't hurt to have it.
Search text messages
You'll now find a search bar for your text messages. It works just like the search option for e-mails.
Photo gallery
You can organize all images from an event or those that feature a specific friend. For both, however, you'll need to have already used the face recognition options in iPhoto or Aperture and sync with iTunes. One expected change appears to have vanished, however: when we played with the initial beta version of iOS 4 we saw an option in the gallery for rotating photos, but we can't find it again in the final version.
The addition of Geolocations lets you view where you took your latest shots on a map and sort your images by location. This is quite a cool feature, particularly for frequent travelers who like to mark their journeys around the world. But if this isn't your thing, you can turn off location services in the Settings menu.
Safari search
When typing a URL in the Safari browser, you'll see not only the URL title of sites you've visited recently, but also the full Web address. That's a nice touch.
Universal search Web and Wikipedia results will now show up in the Universal Search. It takes a couple of clicks to get them going, but it's convenient.
In the iPod player, Apple added an option for creating playlists on the go. We created one in a few steps and added a selection of tunes. What's more, we're always happy when we can do something without going through iTunes.
Bluetooth keyboards
We haven't tested this option yet, but it should be useful for messaging addicts or aspiring novelists.
Birthday calendar
You can keep track of upcoming birthdays with a designated calendar. It's accessible directly from the main calendar option.
Other minor changes
You'll also see a host of other usability and interface tweaks. We haven't located them all yet, but here's what we've found so far.
Now that a double tap of the Home button opens the multitasking menu, you can no longer use the control as a shortcut for a designated feature. As such, the option is gone from the Setting menu. A small price to pay for a new feature, we suppose.
The calculator icon has been resigned. The feature is the same, however.
You can send apps as gifts.
Swiping to the far left of the multitasking menu will reveal music player controls and a shortcut for locking the display rotation.
The location icon in the Google Maps application has changed from a bull's eye to an arrow.
What remains
We have not tested the remaining major iOS 4 features. Once we get an iPhone 4 later in the week, we will use the new applications and expand this section.
Worker bees will get options like enhanced data protection, mobile device management, wireless app distribution, support for Exchange 2010, and SSL VPN from Juniper and Cisco.
iBooks Apple's e-book reader joins Amazon's Kindle app as an option for bookworms. You will be able to access Apple's iBookstore to purchase new content, and if you have an iPhone and an iPad, you can read your book on both devices (with just one purchase) and sync your current page. It looked nifty when Jobs offered a demo of iBooks during his WWDC keynote, but we'll be sure to test it ourselves.
Game Center Coming "later this year," Game Center will include features like a social gaming network, the ability to invite friends to games, leaderboards and achievements, and the opportunity for "matchmaking" (setting up two people to play).

Abt Electronics To Sell Life Fitness Equipment For The Home
By: Stephanie Weiss
Known as an oasis for the shopper seeking the finest in home electronics and high-end luxury items, Abt Electronics is expanding its offering to include the best in home fitness equipment. The company will display and offer Life Fitness exercise products at its 70,000-square-foot store located in Glenview, Ill., as well as on its Web site at www.abt.com.
"We look forward to working with Abt Electronics and are honored that they have selected us as their premier partner to bring fitness to their product offering," said Brent Hutton, vice president of consumer business for Life Fitness. "We are always looking for ways to reach a new customer-base and we felt that partnering with another well-known Chicago company was the right choice for us."
Select Life Fitness models will be displayed in a 450-square-foot home gym setting and will be decorated by Life Fitness imagery. Abt will sell the company's premier line of health-club quality equipment for the home, the Platinum Club Series. This innovative line of cardio machines includes the latest tools in fitness technology including integrated LCD touch screens, iPod compatibility, a Virtual Trainer, Workout Landscape Perspectives and USB connectivity to create, store and track workout information.
"Life Fitness was the perfect fit for us seeing as we have already used their equipment in our corporate fitness facility for the last nine years," said Mike Abt, president of Abt Electronics. "Since we already knew the equipment was dependable, we wanted to share the wealth with our customers. Life Fitness is a great local company and we look forward to selling their products to help people live healthier, happier lives."
Abt Electronics began in 1936 when Jewel Abt gave $800 to her husband David to start a business. Originally named Abt Radio (because it only sold small electronics), Abt Electronics has since become the place to shop for many people in the Midwest. Starting with three employees in a small storefront in the Logan Square area of Chicago, Abt Electronics has grown to more than 1,100 employees and occupies 37 acres in Glenview Ill., a suburb of Chicago. Abt now operates 60 large delivery trucks, 45 custom installation trucks, and more than 100 service vans.

A mini firestorm broke out recently when 37Signals posted about their 2011 growth statistics. As part of the post, 37Signals told the world that the 100 millionth file to be uploaded to their software was the picture of a cat. Naturally those who subscribe to conspiracy theories got all fired up and started to express massive concern about 37Signals being able to access customer files.
In a follow-up post, 37Signals advised that they only knew the 100 millionth file was a picture of a cat because the file name was cat.jpg, they also apologized profusely saying that;
Because the natural train of thought from there goes: Hey, if they saw the file name cat.jpg and shared it with the world, what's to prevent them from sharing other data? Actual sensitive data, like Downsizing-Plans-2012.pdf? Hell, what if they're actually looking at my secret new logo and leak it to the press?
That's a completely legitimate train of thought to ride and it was our mistake to get it on track. So let's start with first things first: We're sorry. We made a mistake. We should have thought it through and remembered that storing your data with someone else in the cloud hinges on a fragile layer of trust. We poked that trust in the eye and it was wrong. We shouldn't have checked the log files to see the name of the 100 millionth file.
The issue is a massive one for the industry and in a back-channel discussions a number of people made comments regarding how much of a risk to the cloud industry service provider access to data is. One person went on to say that this perception is poison to sales growth in the industry.
That conversation got me thinking – I'm involved in a bunch of different initiative which have a degree of service provider access to customer data. I'm also aware of a number of vendors who, despite protesting that their employees cannot access customer data, have a global override option that does in-fact give people within the vendor organization access to a customer file – yes this access is audited, but it's still there – no one will admit to it publicly, but suffice it to say it happens.
I'm actually pretty relaxed about that fact, despite it sounding scary. I'm relaxed about it for a couple of reasons;
A Cloud vendor lives and dies by performance – As a Cloud vendor, all that matters is giving customers the service they expect and treating their data with unbelievable respect. Any vendor that breaches trust, loses data or allows something untoward to occur will soon go out of business. I've yet to see proof of a real event for a paid cloud product where data escaped to competitors or the outside world
It sure beats a USB key left on the train – Face it, businesses, and especially those on the small end of the scale, have absolutely hopeless data security procedures. I've seen full unencrypted spreadsheets of the most incredibly sensitive nature stored on USB keys and inadvertently left places or downloaded to foreign laptops. Put it this way – faced with a choice between my data being burned to CD and passed around amongst high society on the London underground, or the potential that a handful of highly professional technicians within a vendor have access to my data, I sure know which choice I'd make.
Last word has to go to someone involved in the data integration industry – an industry where having access to raw data is table stakes. The reality for integrators is that they're paid precisely TO look at customers data – so that they can ensure a speedy and effective integration. As this person commented;
Even at the bank some rogue employee can check your bank statement but we still keep our money in there. Even at the hospital some random nurse could access your file and see details you consider very private. I don't think it's possible or commercially viable in our world to write a product to the point where you can guarantee that *nobody* can read the data (devs, sysops, customer support, db admins) and I don't think you can prove/convince the customers about that either.
Yes, trust is important and yes, customers should ensure the professionalism of those with whom they place their trust. But knee jerk reactions just because somebody working within a software vendors can see your data are misplaced and misguided.

U.S. drugmaker Pfizer Inc increased its offer for AstraZeneca Plc to 63 billion pounds ($106 billion) on Friday, but the British company promptly rejected the proposal, which would create the world's biggest pharmaceuticals company.
AstraZeneca's board said the offer "substantially undervalues" the company and was not an adequate basis on which to engage with its suitor.
Industry analysts said that raised the possibility that Pfizer would now take the takeover plan, which would boost its pipeline of cancer drugs and create significant tax and cost savings, direct to AstraZeneca shareholders.
The U.S. group would much prefer an agreed deal, since hostile takeovers typically take longer, require a higher final price and carry more risks because the bidder cannot access the target's books to assess its business.
Friday's 50 pounds ($84.47) a share indicative offer follows AstraZeneca's decision to rebuff an earlier proposal that valued it at 58.8 billion pounds, or 46.61 pounds per share.
Some investors and analysts had expected that the sweetened offer would be enough to bring AstraZeneca's board to the negotiating table, even if it was not accepted, and the swift rejection suggests Pfizer may now go over the board's head.
"I think it's making it increasingly likely that Pfizer is going to come back with a hostile bid," said Mick Cooper, analyst at Edison Investment Research.
Leading investors have met with Pfizer Chief Executive Ian Read this week in London and many feel that an offer of 50 pounds or above is worth discussing.
"Given where the shares have come from, this doesn't look unreasonable," one top-10 investor in AstraZeneca said of the latest Pfizer offer.
AstraZeneca shares were trading at around 30 pounds a year ago, but confidence in the company's cancer drug pipeline has built up strongly since then.
"We expect Pfizer ultimately to have to sweeten its offer based on discussions we have had with investors, many citing a price within the 52-55 pounds range and some above this, and our analysis of the EPS accretion for Pfizer," said Mark Clark, an analyst at Deutsche Bank.
Investors had previously said they were looking for at least 50 pounds a share and also wanted more cash in the mix. The latest deal would offer 32 percent cash and 68 percent shares, little different from the 30-70 split offered originally.
Many analysts are convinced Pfizer will raise its offer again, not least because it wants to get the deal done before any possible change in U.S. tax rules that might prevent it moving its tax base to Britain.
Pfizer's latest proposal would have seen shareholders receiving, for each AstraZeneca share, 1.845 shares in the combined company and 15.98 pounds in cash.
Commenting on the offer, AstraZeneca Chairman Leif Johansson said: "Pfizer's proposal would dramatically dilute AstraZeneca shareholders' exposure to our unique pipeline and would create risks around its delivery."
He also highlighted the fact that the small cash component would leave investors exposed to the risks faced by Pfizer in executing an ambitious mega-merger.
Shares in the British group slipped back 0.3 percent to 48.00 pounds by Friday midday. The stock had already gained ground in late trading on Thursday on speculation that Pfizer would come back with an improved offer, including a larger cash element, and there was some disappointment that the cash component had not increased more.
The takeover, which would be the largest acquisition of a British company by a foreign business, has stirred political controversy in Britain.
In an attempt to smooth relations with the government, Pfizer CEO Read wrote to Prime Minister David Cameron, promising to complete a substantial new research centre planned by AstraZeneca in Cambridge and retain a manufacturing plant in Macclesfield.
The Cambridge site, in particular, is viewed as important to the development of the so-called "golden triangle" of Britain's life sciences industry, spanning Oxford, Cambridge and London.
Read also said that 20 percent of the enlarged group's research and development workforce would be in Britain, which a Pfizer spokesman said would represent a "very substantial" increase in its research efforts in the country.
"We make these commitments for a minimum of five years, recognising our ability, consistent with our fiduciary duties, to adjust these obligations should circumstances significantly change," Read added in a letter to Cameron.
Science minister David Willetts said Pfizer had moved a long way in its commitments to British science and research, but the opposition Labour party was scathing about the potential deal.
"Pfizer has a very poor record on previous acquisitions. Do we really want a jewel in the crown of British industry, our second biggest pharmaceutical firm, to basically be seen as an instrument of tax planning?" said business spokesman Chuka Umunna.
Pfizer's reputation is under a cloud in Britain following a decision three years ago to shut most of its research work at a large R&D centre in Sandwich, southern England, where Viagra was invented, with the loss of nearly 2,000 jobs.
Any eventual deal will be studied by antitrust regulators around the world, including those in China, where scrutiny could be especially intense since Pfizer and AstraZeneca rank No. 1 and No. 2 among multinational suppliers in the country's prescription drug market.
* AstraZeneca board rejects sweetened 50 stg/shr offer
* Says offer "substantially undervalues" the company
* Offer is 1.845 shares in new company, 15.98 pounds in cash
* Pfizer pledges to keep Cambridge R&D centre and factory
* 20 percent of R&D jobs in enlarged group to be in Britain (Adds further reaction, antitrust perspective)

Debugging with Git
Git also provides a couple of tools to help you debug issues in your projects. Because Git is designed to work with nearly any type of project, these tools are pretty generic, but they can often help you hunt for a bug or culprit when things go wrong.
File Annotation
If you track down a bug in your code and want to know when it was introduced and why, file annotation is often your best tool. It shows you what commit was the last to modify each line of any file. So, if you see that a method in your code is buggy, you can annotate the file with
git blame to see when each line of the method was last edited and by whom. This example uses the
-L option to limit the output to lines 12 through 22:
$ git blame -L 12,22 simplegit.rb
^4832fe2 (Scott Chacon 2008-03-15 10:31:28 -0700 12) def show(tree = 'master')
^4832fe2 (Scott Chacon 2008-03-15 10:31:28 -0700 13) command("git show #{tree}")
^4832fe2 (Scott Chacon 2008-03-15 10:31:28 -0700 14) end
^4832fe2 (Scott Chacon 2008-03-15 10:31:28 -0700 15)
9f6560e4 (Scott Chacon 2008-03-17 21:52:20 -0700 16) def log(tree = 'master')
79eaf55d (Scott Chacon 2008-04-06 10:15:08 -0700 17) command("git log #{tree}")
9f6560e4 (Scott Chacon 2008-03-17 21:52:20 -0700 18) end
9f6560e4 (Scott Chacon 2008-03-17 21:52:20 -0700 19)
42cf2861 (Magnus Chacon 2008-04-13 10:45:01 -0700 20) def blame(path)
42cf2861 (Magnus Chacon 2008-04-13 10:45:01 -0700 21) command("git blame #{path}")
42cf2861 (Magnus Chacon 2008-04-13 10:45:01 -0700 22) end
Notice that the first field is the partial SHA-1 of the commit that last modified that line. The next two fields are values extracted from that commit—the author name and the authored date of that commit — so you can easily see who modified that line and when. After that come the line number and the content of the file. Also note the
^4832fe2 commit lines, which designate that those lines were in this file's original commit. That commit is when this file was first added to this project, and those lines have been unchanged since. This is a tad confusing, because now you've seen at least three different ways that Git uses the
^ to modify a commit SHA, but that is what it means here.
Another cool thing about Git is that it doesn't track file renames explicitly. It records the snapshots and then tries to figure out what was renamed implicitly, after the fact. One of the interesting features of this is that you can ask it to figure out all sorts of code movement as well. If you pass
-C to
git blame, Git analyzes the file you're annotating and tries to figure out where snippets of code within it originally came from if they were copied from elsewhere. Recently, I was refactoring a file named
GITServerHandler.m into multiple files, one of which was
GITPackUpload.m. By blaming
GITPackUpload.m with the
-C option, I could see where sections of the code originally came from:
$ git blame -C -L 141,153 GITPackUpload.m
f344f58d GITServerHandler.m (Scott 2009-01-04 141)
f344f58d GITServerHandler.m (Scott 2009-01-04 142) - (void) gatherObjectShasFromC
f344f58d GITServerHandler.m (Scott 2009-01-04 143) {
70befddd GITServerHandler.m (Scott 2009-03-22 144) //NSLog(@"GATHER COMMI
ad11ac80 GITPackUpload.m (Scott 2009-03-24 145)
ad11ac80 GITPackUpload.m (Scott 2009-03-24 146) NSString *parentSha;
ad11ac80 GITPackUpload.m (Scott 2009-03-24 147) GITCommit *commit = [g
ad11ac80 GITPackUpload.m (Scott 2009-03-24 148)
ad11ac80 GITPackUpload.m (Scott 2009-03-24 149) //NSLog(@"GATHER COMMI
ad11ac80 GITPackUpload.m (Scott 2009-03-24 150)
56ef2caf GITServerHandler.m (Scott 2009-01-05 151) if(commit) {
56ef2caf GITServerHandler.m (Scott 2009-01-05 152) [refDict setOb
56ef2caf GITServerHandler.m (Scott 2009-01-05 153)
This is really useful. Normally, you get as the original commit the commit where you copied the code over, because that is the first time you touched those lines in this file. Git tells you the original commit where you wrote those lines, even if it was in another file.
Binary Search
Annotating a file helps if you know where the issue is to begin with. If you don't know what is breaking, and there have been dozens or hundreds of commits since the last state where you know the code worked, you'll likely turn to
git bisect for help. The
bisect command does a binary search through your commit history to help you identify as quickly as possible which commit introduced an issue.
Let's say you just pushed out a release of your code to a production environment, you're getting bug reports about something that wasn't happening in your development environment, and you can't imagine why the code is doing that. You go back to your code, and it turns out you can reproduce the issue, but you can't figure out what is going wrong. You can bisect the code to find out. First you run
git bisect start to get things going, and then you use
git bisect bad to tell the system that the current commit you're on is broken. Then, you must tell bisect when the last known good state was, using
git bisect good [good_commit]:
$ git bisect start
$ git bisect bad
$ git bisect good v1.0
Bisecting: 6 revisions left to test after this
[ecb6e1bc347ccecc5f9350d878ce677feb13d3b2] error handling on repo
Git figured out that about 12 commits came between the commit you marked as the last good commit (v1.0) and the current bad version, and it checked out the middle one for you. At this point, you can run your test to see if the issue exists as of this commit. If it does, then it was introduced sometime before this middle commit; if it doesn't, then the problem was introduced sometime after the middle commit. It turns out there is no issue here, and you tell Git that by typing
git bisect good and continue your journey:
$ git bisect good
Bisecting: 3 revisions left to test after this
[b047b02ea83310a70fd603dc8cd7a6cd13d15c04] secure this thing
Now you're on another commit, halfway between the one you just tested and your bad commit. You run your test again and find that this commit is broken, so you tell Git that with
git bisect bad:
$ git bisect bad
Bisecting: 1 revisions left to test after this
[f71ce38690acf49c1f3c9bea38e09d82a5ce6014] drop exceptions table
This commit is fine, and now Git has all the information it needs to determine where the issue was introduced. It tells you the SHA-1 of the first bad commit and show some of the commit information and which files were modified in that commit so you can figure out what happened that may have introduced this bug:
$ git bisect good
b047b02ea83310a70fd603dc8cd7a6cd13d15c04 is first bad commit
commit b047b02ea83310a70fd603dc8cd7a6cd13d15c04
Author: PJ Hyett <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Date: Tue Jan 27 14:48:32 2009 -0800

f24d3c6ebcfc639b1a3814550e62d60b8e68a8e4 M config
When you're finished, you should run
git bisect reset to reset your HEAD to where you were before you started, or you'll end up in a weird state:
$ git bisect reset
This is a powerful tool that can help you check hundreds of commits for an introduced bug in minutes. In fact, if you have a script that will exit 0 if the project is good or non-0 if the project is bad, you can fully automate
git bisect. First, you again tell it the scope of the bisect by providing the known bad and good commits. You can do this by listing them with the
bisect start command if you want, listing the known bad commit first and the known good commit second:
$ git bisect start HEAD v1.0
$ git bisect run test-error.sh
Doing so automatically runs
test-error.sh on each checked-out commit until Git finds the first broken commit. You can also run something like
make or
make tests or whatever you have that runs automated tests for you.

It may be an urban legend that the Broadway was the Vaudette, although it did share some of the same owners. Mr. Carnahan (also known as Tip) was spelled with two "n"s. The Broadway is roughly twice the size of the previous theatre, whatever it was actually called. There was a smaller theatre there which predated the Vaudette. It's name has so far not been proven definitively, but I'd love to see print evidence of this.
Nice to see an old theater that has survived the wrecker's ball or is in sad shape.
This website is filled with "what used to be"
Very sad.
Here is another 1985 photo:
Please tell us about the ghosts. Is this place really haunted?
The Vaudette Theatre was in another location; just east of the 200 E. Broadway Isabella Bank Building. Seats, curtains and switches were moved to the Broadway when it was built; with a grand opening in December, 1920. Steve Swart
There was a house called the Vaudette in Mt. Pleasant as early as 1908, when it was mentioned in the November 14 and 28 issues of The Billboard, but as spinninglens said earlier it apparently wasn't this house.
In 1908, the Vaudette was presenting vaudeville, but it is mentioned in several issues of The Michigan Film Review in 1917, when it was running movies.

The cakes that never came
The Maias regarded as the most important work of the late 19th-century Portuguese writer Jose Maria Eça de Queirós is full of culinary leitmotifs.Early in the book Two friends make an excursion from Lisbon to Sintra;Carlos in the belief that he will find the woman that he has seen twice but never met and with whom he has fallen passionately in love and Cruges his friend, who has been charged by his mother not to return without bringing back a unique speciality of Sintra- Queijadas.
....`Don´t forget the cheese pastries´
These delicacies are tartlets filled with a mixture of egg, sugar, cinnamon and Requeijao ( a fresh curd cheese similar to Ricotta) - Two men on a mission.
....`I mustn´t forget the cheese pastries....´
and again ....
`And I´ve still got to buy those cheese pastries`, muttered Cruges
Exactly cried Carlos.There are still the cheese pastries to buy;there´s no time to lose! We´d better go!´
They return at the end of the day,one having failed to encounter his true love and the other having forgotten to buy the cakes.
Both Woman and cakes are delectable, sought after consumables, and as we learn later, both can be bought.These cakes, once associated with the woman being pursued, recur later in the novel either as a gift that has been forgotten or as a gift that comes to nothing.When another best friend first meets the aforementioned woman at Carlos´house, he coincidentally brings with him a packet of queijadas.
...`the brown paper parcel, only loosely tied together,came undone,and afresh supply of special Sintra cheese pastries tumbled out onto the floral rug and promptly crumbled into nothing....
The seemingly unique relationship between woman and suitor was as fragile as the pastries and was soon to crumble into nothing as well.
Queijadas de Sintra
10oz (280g) flour
1.5 tablespoons butter
12oz(350g) fresh Requeijao ( substitute ricotta)
2oz(60g) grated hard cheese,Cheddar type
7oz(200g) caster sugar
5tablespoons flour
3egg yolks plus 1 whole egg
!/2 teaspoon cinnamon
The cases in which the cheese filling is cooked are tin and crunchy,rather like very thin water biscuits. The dough is generally prepared well in advance, preferably the previous day. Put the flour in a bowl, make a well in the centre, add the softened butter and a little salt.Mix with the tips of the fingers and add tepid water very gradually while kneading thoroughly. The dough must be elastic and smooth but rather on the dry side, and should not stick to the bowl.Cover with a dry cloth then with a damp one. set aside to rest until the following day, or at least for a few hours.
Meanwhile prepare the filling.Sieve the fresh cheese, and mix well with the grated cheese, until a smooth paste is obtained.Add the sugar an then all the other ingredients, little by little, beating between additions.
roll out the dough really fine( the thickness of 3 sheets of paper, put together) on a floured board.Cut out small rounds,3inches(7.5cm in diameter, and line buttered patty tins with them, cutting 4 snippets to adjust the dough into the tins. Fill with the cheese mixture and bake in ahot oven210ºc /425ºF /Gas 79 for about 15 minutes or until brown.
When cold, join the tartlets in pairs, placing a small piece of greaseproof paper between them. Keep in tins to prevent drying.
Makes 24 to 30 queijadas.

Car bombing in Pakistan kills 17 people, according to officials
More than 40 were wounded in the bombing that took place in a busy marketplace, near the Afghan border, on Monday.
| Peshawar, Pakistan
A car bomb exploded in a crowded market in Pakistan's troubled northwest tribal region near the Afghan border Monday, killing 17 people and wounding more than 40 others, officials said.
The bomb went off next to the women's waiting area of a bus stop, which is located near the office of one of the top political officials in the Khyber tribal area, said Hidayat Khan, a local government official. But it's unclear if the office was the target.
The 17 dead included five boys and two women, said Abdul Qudoos, a doctor at a local hospital in Jamrud town, where the attack occurred. At least 44 people were wounded, he said.
The explosives were packed in a small, white car that was parked in the middle of the road, blocking traffic, said Shireen Afridi, who was nearby buying a phone card when the bomb exploded.
Local TV footage showed several cars and shops in the market that were badly damaged. Residents threw buckets of water on burning vehicles as rescue workers transported the wounded to the hospital.
The market was located close to the office of the assistant political agent for Khyber, said Khan, who works in the office. Initial reports wrongly indicated the women's waiting area was for the political office, not the bus stop.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the bombing.
Khyber is home to various Islamist militant groups, including the Pakistani Taliban, which have waged a bloody insurgency against the government for the past few years.
Taliban militants fired rocket-propelled grenades and automatic weapons at an army convoy in northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province Monday, killing three soldiers and wounding three others, said Nisar Ahmad, a local government official.
The soldiers were escorting a polio vaccination team outside the town of Lakki Marwat when the attack occurred, said Wazir Khan, a local resident.
The Taliban have spoken out against polio vaccination in recent months, claiming the health workers are acting as spies for the US and the vaccine itself cause harm.
A Pakistani Taliban spokesman in the South Waziristan tribal area, Asim Mehsud, claimed responsibility in a telephone call to The Associated Press.
"These polio drops are a deadly American campaign to poison us," he said.
The army has carried out offensives against the Taliban in most parts of the tribal region, including Khyber, but militants continue to carry out regular attacks in the country.
On Saturday night, 10 Taliban militants attacked the military side of an international airport in Peshawar with rockets and car bombs, killing four people and wounding over 40 others. Five of the militants were killed during the attack, and five others died the next day in a gun battle with security forces.
Elsewhere on Monday, gunmen killed a provincial government spokesman in the southwest Pakistan in an apparent sectarian attack, and then shot to death two nearby policemen, police said.
The attackers shot dead Khadim Hussain Noori in Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province, said local police official Hamid Shakeel. Noori was the provincial spokesman and also a Shiite Muslim.
As the gunmen were speeding away on a motorcycle, they killed two policemen and wounded a third, said Shakeel.
Baluchistan has experienced a spike in sectarian killings in the past year as radical Sunni Muslims have targeted Shiites, who they consider heretics.
The province is also the scene of a decades-long insurgency by Baluch nationalists who demand greater autonomy and a larger share of the province's natural resources.

They can remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass and also saturate colors providing better contrast. The effect can be seen through the viewfinder and changed by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun. Filter factor is between 2.3 and 2.8 (approx. +1.3 stops).
Linear polarizers are used with most video and manual focus photo cameras. They are not recommended for auto-focus SLR cameras.
PLEASE NOTE: All auto-focus SLR and certain manual focus SLR cameras require circular polarizers. Consult your instruction manual.

Emma Roberts is GORGEOUS. I mean, she's really, really spectacularly beautiful. And the littlest thing ever. Skinny, frail, bored…
I interviewed Emma yesterday at the Sundance premiere for her new movie Homework, co-starring Freddie Highmore. Love him. Everyone else was wearing proper winter clothing. Rita Wilson showed up in some kind of shearling wrap, bundled and appropriate.
Emma was complaining about being cold and sick. She didn't want to do anymore press. She sulked to her publicist that she wanted to go inside. She was also only wearing an open light silk blazer over a camisole and skinny jeans. So… there's that.
Emma is 20. Privileged. Connected. And suuuuuuch a bitch. It's thrilling to watch.
I was her final stop before she shut it down on the media line. Right in front of us, Dylan (camera) and I watched her spit out the instructions at her publicist – Fine, but this is the LAST ONE!
You know…
Sundance is about independent films that need attention and funding. And, um, she didn't seem to be feeling too sh-tty later on at the parties and the lounges after her official obligations were complete.
So how was our 3 minute chat?
When Emma talks to you, it's like she's doing you a favour. You need to appreciate. You need to understand that the world is hers, that she is Next, that her Aunt Julia told her she was special. And Special people get a different set of rules. That is Emma Roberts.
In Homework, Emma plays the most popular girl in school. Freddie plays, obviously, the outcast loner. So I asked her where she, personally, fell on the high school spectrum. Her answer:
"I didn't go to high school. But I was popular. I picked and choosed (sic) the people I hung out with."
Dude, it's even better when you hear her say it live. They're showing it on etalk tonight. Heads up, gossips. We are catching a new bitch on the rise. This one has SO much potential. And this one will get worse. It will get a LOT worse. It will be amazing.

LONDON – Queen Elizabeth II is now on Facebook — but she's not going to be your friend.
Britain's queen has launched a series of official pages offering the website's 500 million users daily updates on her engagements, the royal household said Sunday.
The 84-year-old British monarch will be featured in videos, photos and news items on the site, which will be available starting Monday, alongside other members of the country's royal family, including Princes William and Harry.
Users will be able leave messages or comments for Buckingham Palace on the site and find details of royal events close to their homes.
However, because the pages will be corporate — and not a personal account — people won't be able to request to become friends with the queen.
A royal official said the queen had personally approved the plan, but acknowledged she has not actually used the site herself.
"The decision went right up to the queen," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to discuss the plan. "If you are going to have an online presence in 2010, you just have to be on Facebook."
The Facebook page is the queen's latest social media venture — the royal family already have an account on the Flickr photography website, joined Twitter in 2009 and set up a video channel on YouTube in 2007.
Buckingham Palace set up its own website in 1997, which now allows people to apply for palace jobs online, track the royal family via Google Maps or read details in a section devoted to the queen's prized corgi dogs.
Her Facebook site will include Britain's court circular, the official daily record of the royal family's engagements. It lists all royal diary appointments from the previous day and was created by George III in 1803, reportedly after he became frustrated with inaccurate newspaper reports.

Determine the Theme of Your Flower Garden
There are many ways to approach your canvas, and it's really quite up to you. There is no right or wrong here. I particularly enjoy heading over to the local library or bookstore and pulling up a chair in the gardening aisle.
Pouring over pictures of English gardens, their classic beauty is always a welcome sight, or delving into dreams of sophisticated Japanese gardens that inspire zen. Or make up your own theme using my next suggestion.
Plan Your Flower Garden Layout
Once you have an idea of which direction you want to take your masterpiece, grab a piece of graph paper and some colored pencils and map it out. You many want to try a handy tool that I found at the Better Homes and Gardens website called the "Plan-a-Garden" (check it out at bhg.com under "gardens").
You can sketch out your home and other structures on site and then draw the layout of your flower garden around them. Be sure to observe if the site you want to use gets full or partial sun or mostly shade, as that will drastically change the types of flowers and foliage you can plant in your beds.
Be specific in your diagram, too. If you have four feet of flower bed space against the garden shed, you probably only have room for four clumps of giant pink zinnias there. Michelangelo only had so much ceiling to paint in the Sistine Chapel, after all.
Growing Flower Seeds or Buying Flower Plants
There are two ways to go about actually getting the flowers for your garden, and they don't have to exclude one another. If it's still winter and you have plenty of time before actually applying the glorious colors to your canvas, you may want to save some money and grow the flowers from seed.
The variety of colors and textures, heights and habits of the flowers in seed catalogs today is absolutely mind-boggling. Shopping for the seeds is one of my favorite things to do in late winter and watching the tiny seeds grow is something no person should miss out on.
But if you're short on time (and who isn't?) or you prefer to buy certain flowers from the nursery and grow others from seed, then get ready to shop 'til you drop! A warm greenhouse nursery on a cold spring day is so tempting and really quite handy when your poppy seeds have once again failed to sprout.
Construct Your Flower Garden
Roll up your sleeves and the sleeves of all the helpers you can find! This is when the magic really takes place. You've planned and you've shopped and you've waited for that first warm day of spring.
It's time to get dirty! A shovel, a dirt rake, and a trowel are definite necessities for loosening the soil and creating holes for each plant. Adding some well rotted animal manure and compost to the soil is almost always a good idea too, but be sure to do this a week before you plant so as not to shock the plants.
Identify what type of soil, sun, and water each plant likes before sentencing the sunflowers to their doom in that shady spot behind the garage. If you have a wet, slow-draining spot in your yard, like I do, check to see if any of the plants you've chosen like a boggy marsh. Be aware of the quirks in your canvas before you plant and you'll save yourself a headache later on!
Enjoy Your Flower Garden Design
The most amazing thing about the flower garden is that it's always changing. Its colors and patterns will never look the same as they did yesterday. One cold spring morning you may decide you want to start the painting all over again. See ya' later daylilies! Or maybe you just want to add a few alyssum here and some hostas there. It's a constant creation, and you really can't go wrong.

FAQ How do I debug my Java program?
If you know how to run your Java program, you can debug it. Assuming that you just ran your Java program, press F11, and the most recently executed launch configuration will be launched under control of the Eclipse Java debugger. Breakpoints can be set in any Java editor by double-clicking in the left margin of the editor or by using the context menu in the left margin to toggle the breakpoint on this line.
Because it is a Java program, Eclipse can also be debugged in a similar fashion. F11 also honors runtime workbenches and allows debugging in exactly the same way. In combination with hot code replace, plug-in development can be done in a very incremental fashion: Run an inner Eclipse using the debugger, fix the code of your plug-ins, and continue using the inner Eclipse with the new code without even restarting the inner workbench. You gotta see it to believe it!

Arizona Students' Science Scores Improve Faster Than The Nation's
The Arizona Department of Education (ADE) announced that Arizona's 2011 eighth grade National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Science scores improved three points from its 2009 science scores. NAEP is considered the gold standard in reliable and valid assessments. While the nation's science scores as a whole improved, Arizona's science scores improved at a faster rate.
Much of Arizona's academic gain stems from the state narrowing the science test score gap between White students and Black and Hispanic students and between students not-eligible for free/reduced lunches and those students who are eligible. The test score gap between White students and Hispanic students closed by five points. This is significant considering nearly an equal number of White and Hispanic students were tested, and given Arizona's large population of Hispanic English language learners.
"I am encouraged by our eighth-graders' test score gains on NAEP Science from 2009 to 2011, and particularly applaud the concerted efforts of our state's educators to narrow the performance gap between students from a more fortunate background and those disadvantaged students most at risk," said Superintendent of Public Instruction John Huppenthal.
Superintendent Huppenthal continued, "While we should be encouraged today, too many of our students are still being left behind by their state, national and international peers. It is our imperative as a state and as an education community to close the gap altogether, and not rest satisfied until every student receives an education that prepares him or her to succeed in college and career."
Arizona has taken bold, important steps toward greater and faster student test score gains in science and other core subject areas.
Arizona leads the way in developing the Next Generation Science Standards along with 25 other states. These new standards are being set to internationally competitive levels in science. Arizona's adoption of substantially more enriching and rigorous new standards— Arizona's College- and Career-Ready Standards in English Language Arts and Mathematics—will also play a large role in increasing students' learning in science coursework.
Increased English and math proficiency prepares students to read at a higher difficulty level, make concrete evidence-based arguments, and apply sound mathematical practices. All of these skills are foundational for teaching science concepts and scientific reasoning and critical thinking at higher levels.
Arizona winning a competitive $25 million U.S. Department of Education Race to the Top (RTTT) grant also plays a key role in supporting the state's efforts to improve student learning, particularly in science and math. The RTTT grant includes the implementation of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) in the curriculum to support the teaching of Arizona's College- and Career-Ready Standards, along with the teaching of the Science Standards and Educational Technology Standards. Many districts and charters across the state are implementing STEM programs, and even STEM schools in some cases, to ensure their students are globally competitive.
