Jessie J is known for her love of changing her hair from pink to purple to dip-dyed and, lucky for us, she's forever keeping us up-to-date via her Twitter account. So this weekend, bored of her brunette long locks, it was no surprise to see Jessie (and hair stylist Alisha Dobson) documenting her hair cut via social media.
We should've known a new look was brewing when the singer tweeted "Brown hair is kinda boring on me" and "I miss having dark hair hmmm" last week - but we couldn't have expected Jessie to chop off her brightly coloured extensions and go for such a dramatic change. Yup, not only has JJ gone back to black but she's got a sleek new bob too.
The new 'do took place during a promotional trip to China when Jessie and Alisha hit the (dye) bottle. After a series of snaps, Jessie annouced the exciting transformation on Twitter, "Short black and sides.... What do you all think?" We like, Jessie.
Jessie's haircut in action
The new jet black short bob is reminiscent of Jessie's graphic hair style when she first hit the music scene back in 2010. Remember that severe, blunt fringe and black bob? The cut comes after the BBC confirmed that Jessie will return as a judge for the second series of The Voice. New job, new hair? Sounds good to us.
Take a look through the gallery above to see Jessie J's hairvolution...

To bring the Retina display to iPad mini, we had to find a way to pack every one of the 3.1 million pixels from the 9.7-inch iPad into a 7.9-inch display. Every pixel in a display has multiple signals telling it when to light up. And with a 2048x1536-resolution display, more pixels and more signals are placed closer together on the same plane, so signals can get crossed and image quality can suffer. To make sure everything on iPad mini looks crystal clear, Apple engineers elevated the pixels onto a different plane — separating them from the signals. In the end, the pixel density jumped to 326 pixels per inch — so dense the human eye can't distinguish individual pixels — making everything look incredibly detailed, vibrant and razor sharp.
iPad mini was designed to be a concentration, rather than a reduction, of iPad. It's small. But when you use it, it doesn't feel small. In addition to the Retina display, we packed in a tremendous amount of power and capability. And yet iPad mini remains the perfect mini size. That's because we re-engineered nearly every component. And shaved fractions of millimetres everywhere to keep iPad mini thin and light. It feels like an iPad in every way — only it's mini.
iPad mini is small enough to fit in one hand, yet it has a 35 per cent larger screen area than a 7-inch tablet.
The way iPad mini feels in your hand is remarkable. But just as remarkable is the way it performs. Even though iPad mini is so thin and light, we managed to pack an incredible amount of power and advanced technology inside it.
The new A7 chip flies. It's the most powerful chip we've built to date — and the most efficient. A7 brings 64-bit desktop-class architecture to iPad, which means iPad mini speaks the language of the most advanced computing designs available. The A7 chip gives iPad mini up to 4x faster CPU performance and up to 8x faster graphics performance than the previous generation. So it delivers incredible power and performance in a remarkably light device that fits in one hand.
There's a reason we design our own chips. We can decide which functions we want a chip to perform and build them into the individual circuits and components. This creates more efficient power usage, which allows our devices to be so thin and light yet have great battery life. It's one of the advantages of designing both the hardware and the software. Because the only way you can build a product this thin and powerful is by investing in and caring about the primary components used to make it.
The M7 motion coprocessor is another reason why iPad mini can be so powerful yet power efficient. We designed M7 to measure the motion of iPad mini by collecting data from the gyroscope, accelerometer and compass. It offloads work from the A7 chip, gathering motion information from iPad mini so apps can adapt their functions. Because M7 was engineered for this specific task, it uses less power than A7 would require. And it frees up A7 to focus on other tasks. The result is not only a better iPad experience, but great battery life.
The 7.5-mm-thin enclosure of iPad mini is filled to the brim with advanced technologies that help give you an even better experience. iPad mini is designed to be on the go, so it has two antennas to support MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) for up to twice as fast 802.11n Wi‑Fi. And the Wi‑Fi + Cellular model has more 4G LTE bands to support more networks around the world — so iPad mini can keep you connected in more places.1 It also features a 5-megapixel iSight camera and a FaceTime HD camera with an improved sensor for better video calls.2 And dual microphones improve audio and filter background noise for video recordings and FaceTime calls. All this technology fits within a sleek frame that's light and easy to hold.
iOS 7 and iPad mini weren't just designed to work well, they were designed to work well together. So the experience of using them together is seamless. Like iPad mini, everything about iOS 7 is simple and incredibly intuitive.
And iOS 7 on iPad mini was optimised to include thoughtful choices that take advantage of the iPad experience. For example, the Control Centre panel is in an easy-to-read horizontal orientation. In the Camera app, the shutter button appears on the side of the screen rather than at the bottom — because that's where your thumb is when you're holding iPad mini. All these small considerations make iOS 7 not just beautiful to see, but beautiful to experience.
When you have a device as small and light as iPad mini, you don't want to put something on it that adds bulk. So we designed the iPad mini Smart Cover and Smart Case to fit and protect iPad mini perfectly. They're crafted with as much precision and care as iPad mini itself.
The Smart Cover is constructed from a single piece of polyurethane and features a sleek covered hinge that custom-fits the thin profile of iPad mini. It comes in six vibrant colours. And it doesn't just protect iPad mini. The Smart Cover actually wakes iPad mini when opened and puts it to sleep on close. The Smart Cover also folds into different positions to create a stand for reading, viewing, typing or making FaceTime calls. And it's easily removable, so you can snap it on and off whenever you want.
The Smart Case is the most streamlined way to protect iPad mini, front and back. It comes in six rich shades of beautiful aniline-dyed leather for a splash of colour, and it feels great in your hand. And it's been designed with a slim profile that mirrors the thinness of iPad mini. The Smart Case wakes iPad mini when opened and puts it to sleep on close. And like the Smart Cover, it folds to create a stand, so you can position iPad mini for whatever you want to do.
At Apple, we're always thinking about the impact our products have on the world. And we know that impact continues after the end of a product's useful life. That's why nearly every Apple product is made from highly recyclable materials like aluminium, and why we go to great lengths to exclude harmful toxins from our components.
iPad mini is a perfect example. The aluminium enclosure is highly recyclable. And every iPad mini is free of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). In fact, Apple has one of the strictest BFR-free and PVC-free standards in the industry. And we expect the same from our suppliers. So we actually disassemble our products into individual components and materials in our Cupertino lab. Then we test those components using a variety of methods, including X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and ion chromatography. We do this to ensure that every product we make meets our environmental standards.
To learn more about Apple's dedication to reducing the environmental impact of our products and processes, visit the Apple and the Environment website.

2008 Bull's Gap Time Trial
July 27, 2008 at 3:27 pm 10 comments
Quick summary: 3rd place! behind two Masters World Time Trial Champions: Mike Olheiser (2006) and David Grice (2003). I was happy with just about every aspect of my ride except for having a little bit too much left towards the end. Mike's time of 48'27" shattered the old course record set by GW by over 5 minutes. David started 1 minute behind me, and I expected him to catch me before the halfway point. I was having a good ride though, and by the top of the climb to Bull's Gap I estimated that I was either pulling ahead slightly or still 1 minute in front of him. By the end, though, David had pulled back some time and ended up riding 54'13" which was 38 seconds faster than me, but which also means I have now completed two time trials in which I didn't get passed by anyone! I believe Mike Lanham (Marx and Bensdorf) was fourth followed by Travis Sherman (Marx and Bensdorf) in fifth. The full results are posted on the COGS website.
Quick stats:
22 miles in 54'51" for an average speed of 24.06mph
Normalized average power: 326 watts
Average/Max heart rate: 178/187 bpm
Cadence Min/Avg/Max: 40/89/117 rpm
On the way out (includes the 1.25 mile climb to Bull's Gap):
Time: 30'15" for an average speed of 21.8mph
Normalized average power: 335 watts
Average/Max heart rate: 178/186 bpm
Cadence Min/Avg/Max: 40/88/112 rpm
On the way back in (includes the 1.25 mile descent from Bull's Gap):
Time: 24'35" for an average speed of 26.85mph
Normalized average power: 313 watts
Average/Max heart rate: 179/187 bpm
Cadence Min/Avg/Max: 64/90/117 rpm
Here is the power/heart rate graph. My speed / distance is still off or maybe the course wasn't quite 22 miles?
- Note the rolling hills right from the start. Difficult to get in a rhythm. The best strategy was to make sure that you didn't ease up too much on the downhills so that you could carry some good momentum into the next hill. Then because it was still difficult to keep the wattage up on the downhills you needed to finish off each hill above your threshold power.
- This was the largest "roller" on the way out. Note how my power dropped and stayed consistent, but it was still 15-30 watts above my threshold power.
- There was a sharp downhill right before the start of the climb up Bull's Gap. Note how I hit it hard to get my speed going up before the bottom of the hill and then kept a steady wattage on the climb — 332 watts which again is 15-30 watts above my threshold power.
- The long false flat on the way back. My wattage was a little bit chaotic here as I was feeling a bit of my early efforts, but still wanting to push the pace hard. My average power for the false flat was 313 watt (right at threshold).
- Wattage all over the place on the final rollers. I was still feeling pretty good towards the last rollers so I tried to really ramp up my effort. It was hard though spinning out the downhills so my average wattage for the last 5 minutes was only 319 watts (a few watts above threshold).
Finally, here's a comparison of pictures right before the start of today's race in 2008 and the one 15 years ago in 1993. Enjoy!

Wow… if someone would have told me 10 years ago I would marry that skinny little guy on the bike, I'd have laughed so hard :) Look at me now…married to the hottest fastest cyclist in Birmingham!
It was nice talking with you at Bull Gap today. Nice write up. That course was tough to get a rhythm like you stated. I passed along to Heath also your comments about the Huntsville race and they are greatly appreciated. He put alot of work into that race and it is nice to hear good comments. Look forward to seeing you out there soon. Take care.
Great ride man!!
I linked your blog to your name in the results on COGS website.

Steve Worthy Maternity Center at Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton or the Maternity Center at Tanner Medical Center/Villa Rica. The donor also receives his or her choice of either a silver medallion or glass ornament with the baby's footprint and birth date imprinted.
From parents to grandparents, aunts, uncles and employers, the First Impressions program has become a popular gift-giving idea to honor Tanner babies. Footprint medallions are mounted on the wall near the nursery viewing area in the maternity centers of each hospital.
Each year, more than 1,700 babies are born at Tanner Health System. These babies represent the future of our families and our community. What a wonderful way to welcome them to the world!
Support Tanner's maternity centers and also honor a Tanner baby by ordering a footprint medallion.

Last night, WWE wanted to push the heel turn by Titus ONeil, so they gave him a match. Since someone was needed to put him over, officials backstage went with Zack Ryder, who has not worked a televised match on Monday Night Raw since October of last year.
In preparations of an upcoming feud against his former Prime Time Player teammate and real life good friend, Darren Young has gone with a shorter haircut. While many are expecting Titus ONeil to be on the receiving end of the push, WWE may be elevating both performers.
A shocking heel turn took place in WWE at the Smackdown taping tonight. Titus ONeil turned on his Prime Time Player teammate Darren Young during a match against Curtis Axel and Ryback. ONeil turned heel and vicious assaulted Young after proclaiming that he was tired of losing all the time.
There are talks backstage that Titus ONeil could be on the verge of receiving a push in WWE. With his good friend Batista making a return to the company, some feel that management will try to appease him by pushing the Prime Time Player member.
"I honestly don't know. Nobody ever had that discussion with me. So to me, it's interesting. I just go out there and do the best I can. But I think that might have certainly played a part in it. And especially, man, that was awesome, seeing it. So, Titus ONeil, he had texted me. He said, 'Dude, if you're in your hotel room, you have to turn on SportsCenter. I think they'll replay it in probably about 15 minutes.' And he didn't tell me what it was, but he just told me that I was mentioned. And then I saw it, and they mentioned me and the whole Michigan State basketball thing doing the thing, and I was like wow. That's really cool. And the guy that actually started it, he's going to be coming to the show tonight with three of the guys from, I think, three of the guys from the football team. I don't know if that's true, or if it's just three of his buddies. But he is from the football team, so he's going to be coming. It'll be pretty neat to meet him."

Darren Young and Titus ONeil are down in Miami today, working on that rumored television show for the WWE Network. No word yet on what the show will be about, but the Prime Time Players are wearing suits on the set. There are talks that it could be a sports related show.
Darren Young and Titus O'Neil have both revealed that they have received some good news, and it appears that they're referring to a television show that they're being given on the new WWE Network. The company likes both guys, and this is a way to keep them involved without having to push them.
3MB filmed a segment this week where they dressed up as the Fabulous Freebirds, but WWE opted against showing their match against Darren Young and Titus O'Neil on Smackdown.
Titus O'Neil met up with college coaching legend Steve Spurrier, who coached him while he played for the Florida Gators.

The prolonged period of capped rates in Pennsylvania—years longer than in any other state—has produced some benefits and some drawbacks. On the plus side, due largely to the rate caps, electricity...
The High Cost of "Free" Capacity
Fickle behavior by LSEs threatens to destabilize organized markets.
virtually every RTO/ISO in which representatives of consumers and LSEs have rejected any sort of capacity payment or demanded that energy markets be capped in exchange for such payments.
The economic fallacy in these proposals stems from an underlying assumption that consumers will obtain lower rates if investors are forced to sell some power services at competitive rates while supplying other services for free.
No Free Lunch
Economist George Stigler once wrote that economic logic is encapsulated in the phrase, "There's no such thing as a free lunch." As the only person who won a Nobel Prize for analyzing causes and effects of public regulation, Stigler found as early as 1962 that state regulation had no important effect on electricity prices during the early twentieth century. Stigler's observation seems to be borne out by recent events that suggest factors other than economic policy are prime movers when it comes to public utility regulation.
Duquesne's decision to withdraw from PJM probably won't lead to a slippery slope in which members increasingly withdraw from their RTOs. However, its departure does raise a more fundamental policy challenge for RTOs that plan to address long-term reliability through a market-based approach.
Just as suppliers can offer capacity in different markets, LSEs should have, in principle, the same right to shop for RTOs that best represent their ratepayers' interests. However, the long-term nature of resource adequacy and capacity markets presents a set of more complex challenges.
For example, to exploit economies of scale, base-load plants tend to be large. In a transmission-constrained region, this creates a problem, because large plants may have a disproportionate impact on market-clearing prices and overall system reliability. They also require investors to commit more capital in a single facility with a long construction time. Capacity markets are meant to provide potential investors with a stable and predictable stream of revenues. Forward auctions go a step further and create a contractual agreement that allows investors to obtain financing for the development or renovation of generation capacity.
A forward commitment is necessary to secure demand-response programs and generation resources sufficient to maintain a reliable system in the future. So when LSEs opt out from a market construct in order to avoid capacity charges, they leave investors stranded. Suppliers are less likely to invest in projects for the long term if they feel the rules of the market will change or key customers will stay only if prices turn out to be sufficiently low.
The Dark Side
Duquesne is leaving the world's largest competitive wholesale market and one of the most reliable grids to join a market that is under development. The main advantage of doing this is that MISO is operating at a high reserve margin and thus capacity can be secured at bargain prices. However, Duquesne's comparison of short-term capacity prices between PJM and MISO may turn out to be myopic and against ratepayers' interests. Although politically tempting (because it might keep rates low for a while), Duquesne's strategy postpones proper long-term resource planning and might expose ratepayers to volatile energy markets.
But even
