Apple brings new Maps app with turn-by-turn navigation, but it's limited to iPhone 4S, iPad 2, and newer devices.
Apple first introduced the world to the iPhone Operating System -- now known as iOS --
back in early 2007
. At the time, the operating system was a breath of fresh air in the smartphone space. Over the years, the iOS has grown to encompass not only the iPhone, but also the
iPod touch
, and
Apple TV
. 350 million iOS devices have shipped as of March 30, 2012.
Five years after its first introduction, Apple is ready to apply a fresh coat of paint to its mobile operating system with iOS 6. Those expecting a drastic UI overhaul are going to be disappointed as the same basic formula that was introduced in 2007 remains. However, Apple has taken steps to make sure that iOS 6 remains fresh and relevant in today's quickly changing smartphone space.
While iOS 5 brought a more modern Notifications Center, OTA updates, iMessage, and integrated Twitter support, Apple has a fresh bag of tricks up its sleeve for iOS 6 at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).
Apple has updated Siri with some new functionality. While the first iteration of Siri introduced with the iPhone 4S was somewhat limited in its capabilities, the version included in iOS 6.0 now supports the "New" iPad, can give you sports scores (for example: MLB, NFL, NBA, etc.), and stats on athletes. It has also been integrated with Rotten Tomatoes, Yelp, and OpenTable.
Another big addition is the ability to launch apps with Siri. For users that have pages and pages of apps, a voice command of "Play Angry Birds" will launch the app instead of swiping and tapping through screens.
Even further integration is being introduced in new automobiles using "Eyes Free". Eyes Free is simply a button placed on a vehicle's steering wheel that allows users to directly access Siri without taking your eyes off the road. Some of the partners include BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Toyota, Honda, and General Motors. Ford is interestingly not on that list, but we're sure they're
quite content with MyFord Touch
The other big addition to iOS is Facebook integration. Last year saw system-wide integration of Twitter and this year Zuckerberg and his crew are joining the fray. Users simply login from the Settings app, and are then given the ability to share apps, upload pictures, and provide location details to their Facebook page. There is also full integration with the iTunes store so that you can like and share movies, TV shows, and music.
Facebook Integation
And to make posting information easier, Apple has added Twitter and Facebook posting buttons to the Notification Center.
Apple is also making some of the most drastic changes to the Phone apps since the iPhone's launch in 2007. Apple now gives you the option to automatically send a text message to a person who is calling you when you can't pick up the phone (say you're in a meeting or at a movie). A simple canned message can be sent, or you can be reminded at a later time to call the person back.
New answering options in the Phone app
A new "Do Not Disturb" option has also been added to Settings that allows your phone to go into stealth mode -- your phone will still accept calls and messages, but your phone will not light up or make sounds/vibrate.
Perhaps the biggest news is that Apple has kicked Google to the curb with respect to its built-in Maps application. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that the Apple-Google relationship has taken a
dramatic turn for the worse since the Android operating system debuted
. With this in mind, Apple took matters into its own hands by purchasing three mapping companies (Placebase, Poly9, C3 Technologies) to develop an in-house mapping solution for iOS.
Maps is now integrated with Yelp, providing 100 million business listings. Apple is also including traffic information including accident reporting using anonymous, real-time crowd-sourcing. In addition, Apple is finally getting onboard with turn-by-turn navigation; something that Google has offered for a few years with Android smartphones. And naturally, Maps is now fully integrated with Siri.
Turn-by-turn navigation and 3D aerial view in the new Maps app
Maps now includes a "Flyover" mode which displays 3D model of cities from an aerial viewpoint. Again, many of these features are simply catching up to what's been available on the market for quite some time on completing platforms.
And here's the biggest kick to the face of users of older generation iOS devices -- just like Apple's decision to limit Siri to just the iPhone 4S at launch, 3D Flyby and turn-by-turn navigation is
limited to just the iPhone 4S and the iPad 2
(and newer) devices:
Some features may not be available in all countries or all areas.
Flyover and turn-by-turn navigation will be available only on iPhone 4S and iPad 2 or later
. Cellular data charges may apply.
Odds and Ends
A few other features that are being added to iOS 6 include FaceTime over a cellular connection and iCloud Tabs, which syncs tabs between all your iOS devices and Macs. Users now have the ability to share Photo Streams. Users can now add pictures and videos into an email message directly from the Mail app instead of first having to initiate a message from the Photos app. Also, users can now "pull to refresh" to get new messages.
Passbook allows you to store eTicket information for movies and flights, and also allows you to store gift cards for retailers (i.e. Target, Starbucks).
Apple also bragged about the fact that they that have an extremely large consumer base with 400 million accounts (making it largest store on the internet). There are over 650,000 apps in the App Store with over 225,000 of them being specifically tailored to the iPad. In total, over 30 billion apps have been downloaded since the App Store was introduced in 2008. As for the developers, Apple says that it has paid out over $5 billion to developers since the App Store's inception.

RE: 3GS gets the upgrade. Do you see that Motorola??
Most people I know downgraded from iOS5 on their 3GS. Lost had trouble with iOS4 as well.
Yes, it's all good that Apple supports it, but at the same time, it can be too much for the older hardware and cause more problems then it's worth.
Most of the new iOS6 features won't even work with the 3GS either. You don't get Siri, turn by turn or many of the other things that makes the release desirable, so what's the point of even upgrading.
And back on the Android side, that's also the reason to only buy the Nexus series of handsets. Get vanilla updates, pure Google, with no carrier or manufacturer intervention.

I found this book on a table near the new book shelves at the library. I picked it up in order to put it back on the shelf, but the cover caught my eye.

Practical mod_perl / HTML Book / | ||||
5.11.1. Handling Log Files |
Apache generally logs all the web server access events in the access_log file, whereas errors and warnings go into the error_log file. The access_log file can later be analyzed to report server usage statistics, such as the number of requests made in different time spans, who issued these requests, and much more. The error_log file is used to monitor the server for errors and warnings and to prompt actions based on those reports. Some systems do additional logging, such as storing the referrers of incoming requests to find out how users have learned about the site.
The simplest logging technique is to dump the logs into a file opened for appending. With Apache, this is as simple as specifying the logging format and the file to which to log. For example, to log all accesses, use the default directive supplied in httpd.conf:
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common CustomLog /home/httpd/httpd_perl/logs/access_log common
This setting will log all server accesses to a file named /home/httpd/httpd_perl/logs/access_log using the format specified by the LogFormat directive—in this case, common. Please refer to the Apache documentation for a complete explanation of the various tokens that you can use when specifying log formats. If you're tempted to change the format of the log file, bear in mind that some log analysis tools may expect that only the default or one of a small subset of logging formats is used.
The only risk with log files is their size. It is important to keep log files trimmed. If they are needed for later analysis, they should be rotated and the rotation files should be moved somewhere else so they do not consume disk space. You can usually compress them for storage offline.
The most important thing is to monitor log files for possible sudden explosive growth rates. For example, if a developer makes a mistake in his code running on the mod_perl server and the child processes executing the code start to log thousands of error messages a second, all disk space can quickly be consumed, and the server will cease to function.

Some hunger-striking detainees have reported that Israeli Prison Services (IPS) officials placed them in solitary confinement as punishment for their hunger strikes, on the basis that launching a hunger strike is against prison regulations. IPS officials have also delayed the hunger strikers' access to medical examinations and treatment, apparently to further pressure them to end their strikes. Some hunger strikers have also reported physical assaults and verbal abuse by the IPS, while others have reported that IPS personnel forcibly administered treatment such as injections against their will. Since the beginning of the hunger strikes in late 2011, the IPS has limited hunger-striking detainees' access to independent lawyers of their choice.
Israel has been continuously criticized for its treatment of Palestinian detainees. Last month UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon [official profile] called on Israel to try or release more than 1,000 prisoners [JURIST report] who had been on hunger strike to avoid health risks. Earlier the same month, the Israeli Supreme Court [official website, in Hebrew] ruled against [JURIST report] two detainees who had been on hunger strike in their appeal seeking release from detention. During the same month, UN Special Rapporteur of the occupied Palestinian territory [official website] expressed its concern [JURIST report] for the continued human rights violations in Israel's prisons. It called the country to comply with the international standards of how to treat detainees.

- The definition of a catch-22 is a situation in which there is no good solution or resolution possible because of the way in which the factors of the solution relate to each other.
An example of a catch-22 is the idea that you have to have money to make money.
Catch-22 definition by Webster's New World
Origin: from the novel Catch-22 (1961) by J. Heller
catch-22 - Computer Definition
A paradoxical situation that has no happy ending. A popular movie with Alan Arkin in 1970, Catch-22 came from Joseph Heller's 1961 comical, yet gruesome, best-selling book about pilots in a fictitious World War II setting. The paradox was that no sane pilot would be crazy enough to want to continue flying dangerous missions. The only way a pilot would be grounded is if he were truly crazy, but if he asked to be grounded, he was then considered sane and would not be grounded. A Catch-22 with software would be trying to install a new version of the OS that conflicts with the current display driver. Although a new version of the display driver may be available for the new version of the OS, the current display driver does not allow the new OS to be installed. Sometimes, a Catch-22 is used synonymously with a "chicken-egg" dilemma (which comes first?), but it is more accurately a conundrum without a winning solution.
Catch-22 - Cultural Definition
(1961) A war novel by the American author Joseph Heller. "Catch-22" is a provision in army regulations; it stipulates that a soldier's request to be relieved from active duty can be accepted only if he is mentally unfit to fight. Any soldier, however, who has the sense to ask to be spared the horrors of war is obviously mentally sound, and therefore must stay to fight.
- Figuratively, a "catch-22" is any absurd arrangement that puts a person in a double bind: for example, a person can't get a job without experience, but can't get experience without a job.

Fantastic story. Great use of humor and suspense playing off each other and great characters.
He's got a point though, King does do that, he sells every single thing he can to make money. You guys got to stop taking his side for everything. We get it, your his fans, so are we. But quit treating him like he's flawless.
the guy sells every single thing he writes, whether it's valuable work or not. I love Stephen King, but wouldn't you prefer he didnt do that? No, of course not. Because you're the one who is clearly biased. You're not even realistic and your head is so far up Kings rear-end. OK, Dean Koontz is obviously worse. But King is King, so why does he charge full price for books like Colorado Kid? Did you happen to notice the price on it? $12.99 for mass market. that is just ridiculous
Last edited by Dana Jean; October 14th, 2013 at 09:51 AM. Reason: No personal attacks
This is what people are talking about when they say "Kings fans would buy his novels if all every single page said was "poop" over and over again."
And then you guys would not only buy it just to add to the collection but you would also stick up for him when people ask wtf kind of book this was>
he said poop.
I don't know how the price setting goes, but I do know that King doesn't self-publish, so I doubt he sets his own prices. Grated, he might have some say in it if he wanted to, but I he more than likely lets the publishing company handle all of that.
DFTT. Enough said.

Also, Stovepipe Porter scored a bronze medal in the Brown Porter category.
Wolaver's Fine Organic Ales, a member of Otter Creek Brewing Company, won gold with their Wolaver's Unfiltered Brown Ale.
"Everyone here at the brewery was extremely pleased to hear that we brought four medals back to Vermont. We spend a huge deal of time refining recipes, and tweaking materials and processes to produce better beer every day," Mike Gerhart, Otter Creek brewmaster, said in a release announcing the awards.
"It comes back full circle when a blind tasting in a competition of this size and caliber reinforces that you are indeed making the right decisions."MORE IN National / World BusinessPARIS Interpol knew about stolen passports that two passengers used to board an ill-fated...

Say Uncle! is the definitive book on the history, players, and techniques of catch - as - catch - can grappling.Catch - as - catch - can, or "catch wrestling" for short, is the great - granddaddy of today's mixed martial arts, professional wrestling, freestyle wrestling, and many reality - based self - defence systems. It is a nearly lost form of Western martial art that is rich in history and full of painfully brutal techniques. Say Uncle! traces the background of this unique sport through America and Japan back to England and Ireland and is chock full of exclusive interviews from legends like Karl Gotch, Billy Robinson, Josh Barnett, and more. The technique section is fully illustrated so readers can begin to use these powerfully effective techniques and strategies in their grappling and mixed martial arts game.In the same vein as Total MMA (ECW), Say Uncle! obliterates the myths of the roots of modern mixed martial arts and shows that today's WWE and UFC have a lot more in common than just Brock Lesnar. The catch - as - catch - can roots of modern MMA and pro - wrestling are well documented but little known, until now.

Educational Philosophy:
"Tell me and I forget; teach me and I may remember; involve me and I learn." -Attributed to Benjamin Franklin. Also credited in a slightly different form as a Chinese proverb.
Science as Inquiry
Science, technology and society teaching should emphasize understanding of concepts and the process of scientific inquiry, rather than rote memorization.
Student conceptual understanding is best attained by applying the concepts and the process of inquiry to real world concerns and issues relating to science and technology that directly impact, interest or concern students.
"Understanding science is more than knowing facts." Quoted from How Students Learn Science in Inquiry and the National Science Education Standards: A Guide for Teaching and Learning published by the National Academy of Sciences. Available online in its entirety at: http://books.nap.edu/html/inquiry_addendum/
"Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of facts." Dr. Carl Sagan – noted astronomer and author of the NS 304 textbook.
Learning Outcomes: Core Learning Outcomes
Class Assessment:
NS 304 will also incorporate some aspects of a "blended" course. Resources and materials relating to NS 304 and its subject matter will also be provided in Park's online eCompanion system.
Grading is as per the Grading Plan below.
The midterm exam, course issue position paper, and proctored final exam are the major graded individual items. In addition, homework assignments and in class participation/ discussion also cumulatively account for 25% of the course grade.
In assignments and/ or in class, research, analysis, study, discussion and debate of specific issues and cases relating to STS are emphasized.
Concepts are also developed through the text, online reference resources (provided by the instructor or discovered and shared by the participants), in class discussion, in class presentation of the position/ problem solution paper, required for the course, etc.
Participants are strongly encouraged to select or volunteer STS related issues and topics for in class analysis and discussion. Because the impacts of science and technology are so widespread and powerful, this gives participants substantial latitude for selecting and analyzing issues that are genuinely meaningful and personally relevant. Because NS 304 emphasizes conceptual understanding and independent critical thinking, rote memorization of facts is kept to an absolute minimum. Furthermore, participants are encouraged to constructively disagree with the instructor, and with their NS 304 colleagues, regarding S&T related issues that are examined and analyzed.
As long as participants first seek out, examine, and weigh evidence and arguments for conflicting positions on STS related issues, they are free to reach any position that their independent analysis and personal value system leads them to. Even if it disagrees with the instructor's position. (For example, participants are quite likely to arrive at conflicting positions on the desirability of fetal tissue research or human cloning, whether global warming is a real and very serious problem, etc.) Constructive disagreement in an atmosphere of mutual respect -- "disagreeing without being disagreeable" -- is encouraged. As Dr. Carl Sagan puts it, "Valid criticism does you a favor."
Course Grading Scale (in %'s):
Takehome Midterm examination 15%
Final examination 30%
Class participation & assignments** 25%
Position paper 30%
Total 100%
The course grading scale is as follows: A = 90-100 B = 80-89 C = 70-79 D = 60-69 F = 0-59
**Important Note: Because of the issue oriented, active learning approach of this course, every participant must actively and regularly participate in the classroom discussion. This will maximize the benefit (and grade) to the individual student and the entire online class.
Late Submission of Course Materials: Work is expected to be submitted on time. It is very difficult to catch up when you fall behind in an accelerated course. However, I do recognize that some of you may be actively serving in the U.S. military, or may have nonmilitary professional obligations, family emergencies, or the like that occasionally force you to delay your participation. If you ever have circumstances which may unavoidably delay your submission of work, or your attendance, please notify me via email as soon as possible, and, if your circumstances warrant, I will try to work with you.

Putting a wrap on enhanced productivity
Rotary feeder number one has three pairs of vacuum pick-and-place pickup cups. Each pair is aligned with its own magazine feed so with each 360° revolution the rotary feeder picks from the magazines and places one paperboard backing sheet and two sheets of product onto the flighted conveyor.
Rotary feeder number two has the same three-magazine configuration but all three magazines are fed with sheets of product. Finally rotary feeder number three uses just two pairs of vacuum pickup cups and two magazines. The bottom line is that Axxess can load anywhere from two to seven sheets of product. Loading all available magazines creates neat stacks of seven sheets plus one backing board in each conveyor flight. Leaving some magazines empty results in fewer than seven sheets of product in a stack.
The stacked sheets move from the flighted conveyor to the infeed of the Sasib wrapper. The 50-ga polyvinyl chloride film from Reynolds Metals (Richmond VA) is pulled off the roll by nip rollers and fed through the wrapper by a vacuum belt. As the film advances it's pulled over a former that folds and seals it into a tube shape. Product is conveyed to the cutting head where it is crimped cut and heat-sealed creating an end seal. Finally a shrink tunnel shrinks the film tightly and a hole is punched through the top for peg display in the store by an in-line high-speed hole punch from Rainbow Packaging.
Marshall has been very pleased not only with the machine's success at Axxess Technologies but also with the accommodation and support provided by the vendors. He says that Axxess had to pay for the machine in installments and that the vendors "were no problem to work with as far as payment."
Marshall says he will attend Pack Expo International 2000 this fall in Chicago again with an eye out for some printing applications he saw at Pack Expo Las Vegas. He says the show is an excellent opportunity to weigh his equipment options and to view new innovative technology.

Virginia adds 17, including 2 5-star defenders
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) Virginia coach Mike London hopes he got quality over quantity.
The Cavaliers officially added 17 players Wednesday on national signing day, including two five-star defenders in safety Quin Blanding of Virginia Beach and Andrew Brown of Chesapeake, who is already enrolled.
The class is viewed by scouting services as one of the top 40 in the nation, an especially strong showing by London and his staff on the heels of a season in which the Cavaliers finished 2-10.

The program provides academic coursework and clinical experiences that prepare students for entry level clinical practice in the field of speech-language pathology.
This program allows students to earn both a bachelor's and a master's degree by designing an academic and clinical curriculum sequence that extends across five years.
The undergraduate (pre-professional phase) portion of the program includes Marywood University's core curriculum and all of the pre-professional courses that emphasize knowledge of basic human communication and swallowing processes.
The graduate (professional phase) portion of the program, which begins with the summer semester of the third undergraduate year, emphasizes academic coursework and clinical practicum experiences designed to foster knowledge and skills about the nature of speech, language, hearing and communication disorders and differences as well as swallowing disorders.
This 5-year program provides a rigorous, intensive curriculum sequence tailored to students who are focused on their educational achievements and who are goal oriented. Students who do not meet the academic requirements to transition to the professional (graduate) phase of the program will complete only the pre-professional (undergraduate) phase and earn a bachelor of science degree at the end of their fourth year.
This two-year graduate level program is offered to qualified individuals with a bachelor's degree. There is limited availability for admission to this program. Students with an out-of-field undergraduate degree can be provisionally admitted to the master's program, however, they must successfully complete a year of CSD pre-requisite (undergraduate level ) coursework prior to starting the two year graduate level program.
The graduate program provides a structured sequence of rigorous academic courses and clinical practicum experiences that prepare students for entry level practice in the field of speech-language pathology. Individuals with such a background and earned graduate degree often pursue careers in various work settings such as schools, hospitals, nursing homes, and private practice.

Beyonce's belly: Most important thing ever, on Twitter
The Twitterati were in a frenzy after Beyonce's big news last night, setting a new Tweets Per Second (TPS) record. beyonce Beyonce announced her pregnancy at the VMAs. Photo by: AlexJohnson The announcement on the red carpet of MTV's Video Music Awards that the bootylicious R'n'B star was in the family way courtesy of …
Whoop de doo!
At a last, what twitter was invented for. A means to tell everybody that you give half a monkeys about someone you never met being knocked up by someone else you never met.
Nice to see that the general public have their priorities right. Screw supporting people who need it, lets all support megarich musicians of average ability.
Are you seriously suggesting twitter provides a mechanism for supporting people?
What's the harm in reporting about it on a platform that will reach anyone who cares within seconds? You can still keep an eye on the Mongolian sand toad as well you know. Twitter isn't limited to following a single organisation or person.
Just to clarify
it wasnt reported on twitter, it was reported on the telly at the VMAs. The sheeple took it upon themselves to twit about it. Baaah... wee loooove beyonsaaaaaay.
I know it isnt a support mechanism, but an average popstart getting preggers should not outweigh bigger stories like the natural disasters that have happened, but then thats why Heat Magazine is so popular.
It proves there are more Twitter users now than before.
I'd like to see age-related trends, sick of seeing Bieber trending.
See title.
PS: Does this woman have a Google+ account, seeing that she has no apparent surname.
"PS: Does this woman have a Google+ account, seeing that she has no apparent surname."
I believe it's Knowles or something like it, although I've never seen it written down. Your comment could also be applied to Kylie, Ant and Dec, Elvis, Elizabeth II, etc.
Re: Who?
No surname? Isn't she Beyonce Z (nee Knowles)? Or are she and Mr Z not married[1]?
Gosh I am so ashamed I know that. I'll be opening a tw@ter account if this sort of thing continues.....
[1] Although you have to say that "Little Bastard Z" does sound like a shoo-in as a rap star, so they could be doing it a favour if so.....
Re: Re: Who?
She and Mr Z are married. No idea if she took his name, but rather unsurprisingly his real name isn't Jay Z, it's Shawn Carter.
Not at all ashamed to know that, I met Jay Z once and he's a really nice bloke. For saying he's a giga-bazzilionair and hip-hop royalty, he's rather quiet and down to earth. Which is nice.
Well, it makes sense...
...he's got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one.
Well, I guess that technically a bitch IS his problem, but if they don't HAVE any problems, then... Honestly, I'm really not sure that the term accounts for the possibility of a happy relationship. Not so inaccurate when Mr. Z wrote it, I bet. But hey, if Trent Reznor can wear a suit, Jay Z can respect a woman, right?
I have a friend who thinks that's actually what its called - "Twatter".
I think she may have a point.
Gum flapping keyboard vomit by airheads
"The Twitter statistic could be taken as definitive proof of how shallow and celebrity-hungry the public at large is..." or an awful lot more about the predilections and interests of those prone to tweet. Until there is a equivalent of "celebrity gag" for tweet will continue to steer clear. PAris because vacuity seems a communicable condition.
Oh the irony...
...that we are all reading and commenting on an article about some twits, er, I mean twats, um, I mean tweets!
PS - mine's the one wit the band new iTwitSlab inside!
At least Mr. Z remembered to "put a ring on it".
Now, Smithers, unleash the "what will they name it?" twaddle-geddon.
And how did I miss!

For those
who are concerned about people's obsession with celeb goss and trivia marginalising important issues, I direct you to the following interesting comic strip:
TL;DR Compares Huxley and Orwell and finds Huxley was more spot on with his predictions...
Double plus good comic strip
Excellent post Steven;
Compare and contrast Huxleys "Brave New World" with Orwells "Nineteen Eighty-Four" is 7 tweets or less - 60 marks.
The pigswill is required, and must contain lettuce and/or beer slops.
This "news" didn't turn up on my Twitter feed but did appear on el Reg. So which is is the shallow, celeb-obsessed news source?
Must pop over to http://www.hellomagazine.com/ , there's some IT news I need to catch up on.
> The Twitter statistic could be taken as definitive proof of how shallow and celebrity-hungry the public at large is...
Nope, merely how shallow and celebrity-hungry twitter-users are.
Don't confuse publicised services with the general public. It's a bit like saying the public is obsessed with strictly-x-fear-factor tv. Mostly they aren't, but with no other handy thing to measure, the media assume people are obsessed with tv.
Ditto twitter, facebook, google and all the rest.
@El Reg
You are officially on my shitlist for using the term 'baby bump'. If I could use the bomb, the flames, the facepalm, the WTF, the fail, and the ! at once, I would. I know you're going to whip out the old "It was meant ironically" defense, but that just doesn't fly - I'm sure HITLER would have done the same!!!
And @ a bunch of other guys (somewhat hypocritically), if the twitter users are so vacuous for commenting on Mrs. Z's... PREGNANCY... then how brilliant does it make the people commenting on the people who comment on Mrs. Z's... PREGNANCY...? A whole bunch of guys, ranting to each other about how much better they are than other people.
Hell, maybe you ARE better. It's possible - assuming that your main qualifications for 'better' include things like intelligence and life experience rather than cheerfulness and appreciation for bad music (though Jay Z's stuff is often quite good).
But: if you are, in fact, better people, sitting around on a tech forum, frothing posting about how lame it is when people sit around talking about wealthy entertainers, didn't help you get there.
So, if I have this right
An extremely famous woman (arguably the most recognisable living woman) announces that she is pregnant, and the news is spread widely via social media which is largely used to exchange snippets of information.
The only less surprising thing is Reg posters falling over themselves to prove how little they care. It's OK guys, nobody was accusing you of anything.

A Day in the Life of Kimmie Kyees: My Diary (page 4)
7:00 p.m.
Jenna Jameson's House
I arrive at Jenna Jameson's house, and she's in the middle of doing a fashion show for her boyfriend—UFC fighter Tito Ortiz. Meanwhile, her assistant Shana is trying to select an outfit for her upcoming trip. Jenna is leaving for a very important interview the next day, and she already had the camera crew come to her house the day before to tape part of the interview. They want to show how Jenna has made the transition from adult film star to a committed, loving mother of twin boys. She's now a bona fide "mommy blogger," adding a whole new following to her already huge fan base.
During the taping the day before, the cameraman kept asking Jenna, "Wow, what's on your nails?" Jenna was wearing black and white checker Minx on her toes, and black with multicolored zig-zags over silver Minx on her fingers, so she knew that she wanted to wear Minx again for her television appearance. I set up to do Jenna's nails in her living room. I've been doing her nails for four years now, so we are very comfortable together. Jenna loves color, and she loves wild and unusual designs, so I show her some extra designs that Minx made for the Alexander McQueen show in Paris last October. They include a design of a close-up peacock feather that is teal with a feathery look, and toward the end becomes lighter, which Jenna chooses for her toes. For her fingers, she picks a design with blues and yellows that look like an Agate stone sliced down the center, showing all the layers. Jenna blogs about it on her website a couple of days later, saying:
"I have gotten MANY emails concerning my nails. Even though I am uber-exhausted, I felt the need for a quicky blog about my obsession concerning my nails. I have been getting Minx done on my natural nails for quite a long time now and I LOVE IT!!! This is a really fun option for mommies that have their hands in and out of water (washing bottles and dishes). It lasts a lot longer than a regular old manicure and NEVER chips! I always have gel applied over the top to ensure it staying put. Now, this technique isn't practiced everywhere but its certainly worth asking your nail tech to get certified in Minx technology! This week, my girl applied a really fun design that looks like a universe—or maybe a rock crystal—so insanely cute (and it matched my dress I wore for an interview today). Minx has SO many beautiful and FUN designs, check it out."
Jenna enjoys watching Dancing with the Stars, so it's on television while I do her nails. Just before I leave for my next client—Paula Abdul—I see Paula being interviewed, sitting in the audience! Since there's a three hour time lag from taping to airing in L.A., Paula has gone from the show to dinner with friends, and then calls to tell me to come on over to her house! I leave Jenna's at around 10:00 p.m. to go to see my last client of the day.
10:00 p.m.

"Deep purple-crimson; both the bouquet and palate have a clarion call of regional character, black fruits, bitter chocolate and spice in a medium- to full-bodied framework; French oak has contributed, but it is the quality of the grapes, and the controlled alcohol that make the wine what it is." 94 Points Australian Wine Companion

Famed Australian Vintners, Bob and Sandy Oatley, founders of Rosemount Estate, began their next wine venture to pay homage to the many terrific regions of Australia and the grapes most suited to the terroir.
Wherever he makes wine, Bob Oatley's underlying philosophy is to find the right vineyard with the right soil and match it to the right variety.
With the guidance of winemaker, Larry Cherubino, Robert Oatley Vineyards shares the expression of regions, such as Margaret River, McLaren Vale, Yarra Valley, Great Southern and Central Ranges.
McLaren Vale is home to the oldest Australian vineyard, with grapes planted in 1838. It's a coastal area, the Indian Ocean bordering the west, which leads to a cooling factor that prevents the grapes from getting too hot. In all, the climate is a perfect one for the vines. Notable Facts In McLaren Vale, there are vines as far as the eye can see. As in other parts of...Read More About McLaren Vale

The home base of Syrah is the Northern Rhone, where it creates the exclusive wines of Hermitage and Cote Rotie.
