Late yesterday afternoon, United's posted their initial response on Flyertalk in regards to their 4 mile award sale I posted about on Sunday. I'm not really shocked and don't plan on fighting this, but my reservations do still show "This reservation has been ticketed and confirmed", so I hope to hear from them directly soon.
Hi Everyone, over the weekend, we discovered a united.com programming error that allowed customers to obtain Mileage Plus travel awards to and from Hong Kong for as little as four miles roundtrip per person, substantially below published levels, which we disclose to customers. We have since corrected the error and will be in contact with customers who have tickets issued at the incorrect award amounts. Customers will be given the choice to redeem at the correct mileage amount or re-deposit their award with all fees waived. We regret any inconvenience this has caused you, and appreciate your understanding.

Love is in the air! Demi and Wilmer spark rumors that their relationship is back on after a new picture of the pair has emerged. Read on for all the juicy details.
Wilmer Valderrama previously visited his former flame Demi Lovato on the set of The X Factor on Nov. 8, igniting rumors that he and Demi have rekindled their relationship. This is not the first time that Demi and Wilmer have been spotted together in recent weeks — they were reportedly seen together during a private event at Bagatelle LA on Sept. 12 in West Hollywood, among other occasions. And now, a hot new picture of the couple suggests that the reunion may be official.
Wilmer, 32, was spotted on The X Factor set again, as a new photo sees him posing with 20-year-old Demi and one of her contestants, Paige Thomas, who recently survived the dreaded sing off on Nov. 15. Paige tweeted the photo on Nov. 18 and said, "So grateful for life and such a beautiful day yesterday with an amazing mentor@ddlovato and @WValderrama!"
Wilmer clearly has his arm around Demi in the picture, and this is not the first time he has been seen visiting her on the set. So what gives?
A source previously told HollywoodLife.com, "They are not officially dating but it's only a matter of time. They really have always liked each other, still have tons of respect for each other, and are still in love."
So sweet! We hope it works out for Demi and Wilmer this time around.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Are Demi and Wilmer dating again?

He clearly has his arm around Demi.
Clearly? Does anyone else NOT see his arm around Demi or is it just me, lol!
As for visiting her on set…isn't it his set too? Pretty sure Khloe and the other judges were there too along with all the contestants.
I'll believe it when you get that kissing photo!

10 Benefits for Freelancers having their own website
For freelancers, the decision to have your own website may not happen right away, there are hurdles getting started, alternative website options, but once done you can have a centralized place to promote your work and more.
Hurdles Getting Started
When first thinking about having your own website:
- Cost: Hiring a third party to do can be expensive and hence not considered worth it.
- Not technical: While doing it yourself can be less expensive, one may not feel comfortable with their skills for customizations or doing something different.
- No time: Regardless of cost or technical abilities, it still can take time to own and maintain a website, and feel it's not appropriate at the given moment.
- Just getting started: Maybe the freelancing activity is more of a hobby, still practicing or working on a portfolio and not ready to be made public.
Alternative Website Options
Of course, there are other options for getting exposure on the web without having a website.
- Social networking sites: Another option is to just start promoting from a social networking site. While this can be ok, it can be difficult as you can't always control the way it's formatted or you end up with a site of distracting ads, maybe not appropriate for something you're trying to be more professional about.
- Distribution sites: With many of the self-publishing/releasing options, you can have an author or band page. Good for displaying what you've released with them but are usually limited in options, are one or a few pages, and cannot integrate with other types of things you do.
- Blog: Having a blog can be low cost and a good way to connect with social networking sites, or starting off with a hobby, but if using for more professional intentions, they're more of a complimentary piece to the main item, your website.
10 Benefits for Freelancers Having a Website
If you think the time is right or close to it, here are 10 benefits you can get from doing so:
1. Integrate Multiple Activities
Such as an author promoting books from different publishers or different formats. Even though each may have their own author page, they won't be integrated unless you do so on your own website.
2. Control the Layout and Content
When you have your own website you can format it however you want, review, make tweaks and so on. This allows you to focus on the areas that are most important and not worry about an overnight layout change, such as what's on the header, background colors, text formats, etc. Similar to layout but more relevant for the actual content shown on the page. With distribution sites this can be ok as they're promoting your work, but with social networking sites you'll get loads of other content from all kinds of places.
3. Multiple Pages
With you own website you can have as many as appropriate to help describe or explain what you do. Keep it simple or expand as needed.
4. Online Biz Card
While paper business cards probably still have their place in different areas, for freelancers it's not as relevant, easier to just tell someone your website to check it out. Most likely they can do at the same time with simply bringing it up on their phone or tablet. From which you can go in many more different directions than a paper biz card.
5. Launching Point
You can use your website as a general launching point for any of your other activities, such posting blog articles and working with social networks for additional promotions.
6. Low Maintenance
Once the site is up and running, generally you need to do little to it other than an occasional update, such as a new event, release, or blog posting.
7. Low Cost
While one can pay a lot of money to have a website developed for them, the DIY approach is much cheaper and relatively not too difficult. There can be a learning curve though depending on whom you use, but considering that millions have already done, there are loads of options or forums to help you on your way. That said, the actual cost is just that of the domain and website hosting, usually far less than other aspects of your freelancing niche.
8. Collaboration Options
Often times when creating an idea or product, you're doing it alone and need to be focused. With a website, as this is more on the promotional side, it's not as big of deal and probably can be more helpful with someone else helping out. This could be for technical expertise, format and style ideas, or testing it out in different browsers or formats.
9. Search Engine Results
With having your own website, while you obviously won't be placed at the top for all your keywords, you should for your actual website name, such as your name or whatever you're calling your work.
10. User Feedback
This can be viewing the visitor traffic, seeing which pages they were interested in, where they came from, which links they clicked on, or receiving contact messages.
Yeah, having a website isn't exactly a new thing, but for anyone that's not familiar with it or has been more involved with other things, it can be. Traditional options range from charging for extra pages, including ads, to consulting, or with using what's considered the more expensive enterprise solutions. Freelancers need something in the middle, being simple to set up, flexible to change for their niche, and low cost both in time and actual money involved.
Potential Results
And what can a freelancer get from having their own website?
- More Promotion Options: You can go into detail about a book, album, product or service you have, have an area for upcoming events, and launch a blog for occasional updates such as a new release.
- More Traffic Options: This could be from search engines, links going to your website from industry sites or social networks, and direct traffic such as from a blog posting delivered to an email list.
- More Revenue Options: With having a website that has either ecommerce or links to where people can purchase, the foundation is ready for visitors to purchase or support your endeavors.
Getting up and going isn't easy as freelancer, having a streamlined website can be a big help to have your promotion activities working for you and giving you more time to work on something new.

Plans altered for new Websites focus
One of the things that happens when you start moving on with something new, are the things that maybe you thought were important, become not so much and it might be appropriate to make some changes.
Such is the case with the Odysen subscription plans, with the major change being there's no longer a limit for the number of network content items, such as the quantity of actions, notes, events, polls, news, websites, etc. Now you can add however many as needed with no worry about upgrading.
Why the change?
You can only track or focus on so many things. Having plans with too many options may be ok for enterprise solutions, but for tools that are used by individuals or smaller groups, it becomes ridiculous and simplicity is king. Thus when Odysen was primarily offering private network solutions, having differences such as the number of projects or content items can be appropriate, but when now focusing on a website hosting solution combined with networks if needed, the number of content items is a much smaller part, no need to place such a strong emphasis in the plans.
Here is a summary of what you can do with the new plans.
Add as many networks, folders, and content items as you want, with the only limitation being storage at 1 GB. For each network you have the option to have a single public website page, using the Odysen sub-domain that you selected for your network, such as yournetwork.odysen.com. This is the free plan, helpful for getting started and familiar with how to manage your networks and websites.
For users that need extra storage or would like to use Odysen to manage their website, they can upgrade to the Premium for $4.99 a month, with storage increasing to 20 GB. This is a low cost plan for to be up and going with your own website, along with having networks to share new projects with others. The pricing does not include the actual price of the website domain, which can vary depending upon the name you select. For domain purchasing, we're an affiliate of GoDaddy, and the price offered is whatever price is coming from them, no additional costs are added.
More active users requiring additional storage can upgrade to the Professional plan for $9.99 a month, increasing their storage limits to 50 GB. Currently the amount of storage is the only difference between Premium and Professional, versus before there were content item limits. That said, new features are in development that will be announced later in the year.
As you might expect, getting into website hosting can be easier said than done as there are literally hundreds of different directions you can go in, hence the hundreds of different solutions already available in the general market. Our solution will be more focused with freelancers in mind, such as writers, musicians and other artists. This can be from having specific web templates or applications for different niches, such as an album or song playing application for musicians, or a book website template for authors. Different solutions are being developed and will be announced in the new Websites section or on the blog.
While Websites is the new focus, Networks is still present and operating the same as before, with a few occasional updates as needed. The combined solution allows a freelancer to both share their new creations on their own private networks as well as being able to promote their work with their own website. With the result being a more efficient online tool and giving more time for what's important, your new creations or doing your actual work.
I hope you enjoy the changes and stay tuned to the blog for more updates coming soon!

20 Benefits for Event Planners using an Odysen solution
Looking for an online solution to help organize your event planning activities? Here are a few benefits and ways to use an Odysen solution.

2. Separate folders for different events: Making it easy to keep events organized, add sub-folders to expand and event and see integrated views of content in respective parent folders.
3. Organize tasks needed to be done: Add actions to each folder, see integrated views in respective parent folders and you can click on the All folder to see all the actions in your network.

3) Four wheel frenzy
"In terms of driving, the vehicles definitely handle very differently and so depending on the type of mission or even the type of chase you're involved in pick your car wisely. The European sports cars are absolutely phenomenal for something that requires straight line speed, but if you've got lots of sharp turns and things like that, look at another type of car that's more about drifting.
"When you're looking at the different vehicles, if you're not sure what you want to buy, unlike the real world, you can go steal a car and try it out and see what you like. If you like that type of car then you can buy it. Any car you buy is available from any parking garage around the city. We also have a car valet, a guy you did a favour for, so to return the favour, you can call him at any time and he'll bring you the favourite car that you've set, any where you want in the world within 15 seconds or so. "
"So you're able to use any car that you own to go into different races, so depending on the type of race you want to do in the world, having a variety of different cars with different handling which suits your driving style, will really help you win those races and gain a lot of extra cash. "

Los Angeles Area Film Festival provides opportunities for Independent Film Lovers.The Fourth Annual Santa Clarita Valley Film Festival returns to the Los Angeles area January 8-11, 2009 with an exciting line up of independent films from local, regional, national, and international talents appropriate for audiences of all ages. The weekend's events take place at the intimate Repertory East Play House in Old Town Newhall, located at 24266 Main Street .
The Festival features quality films from independent filmmakers from around the globe, in addition to films by participants of the Santa Clarita Valley Film Festival's Script 2 Screen youth filmmaking programs.
"Festival attendees can expect the same high-quality, creative filmmaking they've come to enjoy at the Santa Clarita Valley Film Festival, with all screenings designed for viewers of all ages," said Festival Co-Founder Ramon Hamilton. "Our festival offers a unique setting and a variety of ticketing options, making it affordable for audiences in the Los Angeles area to enjoy original art."
A few films in this year's lineup not to be missed include:
- "Catharsis: The Story of a Survivor's Art" is a work by California State University , Northridge student and Santa Clarita resident Mason Eng. The documentary features Irving Belfer, a Holocaust survivor whose wife and son passed in the Holocaust, providing a look at his home, which he has filled with folk art and treasured collectibles honoring individuals who lost their lives as a result of the tragic genocide.
- "His Good Will" featuring James Avery, best known for his role in "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air." This heart-warming story set in 1950 chronicles the story of a young boy struggling against poverty in a small town, and how his innocence and optimism, in the simplest of ways, touch those around him.
- "Reel Life" features filmgoer Eddie Steeples, AKA Crab Man in "My Name is Earl," in a role where he is magically transported to the world of silent films, meets a starlet, and learns the way of life in a world without sounds.
- "Struck" is a light, fun film about Joel, played by Bodhi Elfman, who is impaled in the chest by a three-foot arrow that doesn't harm him. He must learn to live and embrace his newfound protrusion and new way of life, despite the unwillingness of others to accept his strange flaw.
On the final day of the Festival awards will be given to filmmakers in the following categories: Best Junior High School, Best High School, Best College, Best Film Overall, Best Elementary – Script 2 Screen, Best Script 2 Screen Overall, as well as Best Film Shot on Film, and Best COC Youth Film.
Tickets for the Film Festival are now available and are priced at $8 for adults, $5 for students and seniors. Weekend/ VIP passes are also available for $20 for adults and $10 for students and seniors.
The SCV Film Festival is sponsored, in-part, by Fujifilm, Gorilla Software, SCV Bank, LA 411, Final Draft, the City of Santa Clarita, and the Repertory East Playhouse. The Script 2 Screen program is sponsored in part by Facey Medical Group and Sam's Club.
For more information about the fourth annual Santa Clarita Valley Film Festival, visit SCVFilmFestival.com.
The Santa Clarita Valley Film Festival is dedicated to providing opportunities for interactions that enrich the Los Angeles and Santa Clarita communities both artistically and culturally through independent film. Directors of the SCV Film Festival Ramon Hamilton and Jennifer Fischer also support the Santa Clarita Film Center and Script 2 Screen after-school and in-school filmmaking programs to help nurture young minds and imaginations.

Servosity Seeking Top Tech Talent For Greenville, SC Expansion
GREENVILLE, S.C., Oct. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Servosity Inc., which develops mission-critical backup and disaster recovery solutions to managed service providers and IT resellers, will add 30 additional high-tech positions at its headquarters in Greenville, SC.
The expanded team will deliver leading-edge software solutions in the backup and disaster recovery (BDR) space, and deepen sales and upport teams to meet rapidly accelerating growth, said Servosity CEO Damien Stevens.
"This talent adds to Servosity's ability to be a single-source provider of backup and disaster recovery solutions for customers across North America," Stevens said. "We appreciate the assistance of the Greenville Area Development Corporation, NEXT, South Carolina Department of Commerce, and city of Greenville for helping make this announcement possible."
To accommodate the expansion, Servosity has expanded its footprint in Greenville's downtown NEXT Innovation Center."While Greenville may not be widely known as a hotbed of technology organizations like Servosity, its quality of life, pro-business mindset, and emerging high-impact technology ecosystem will doubtless appeal to other organizations. As we continue to grow successful businesses in the technology space, we'll attract even more talent. But today, we're reaching out across America for top talent to do great work and have a great quality of life in Greenville." Servosity's intuitive backup and disaster recovery solutions allow its customer network of managed service providers (MSPs) and IT resellers to manage and monitor backup and disaster recovery operations 24/7/365. As a result, MSPs and IT resellers can reduce recovery time objectives and ensure vital continuity of business operations if disaster strikes in as little as fifteen minutes. Whether a simple computer crash or complete disaster, Servosity presents its solutions as the easiest way to eliminate downtime, enhancing risk management and improving profitability.

Python v/s Java : Which is more Productive for a Programmer
A programmer can be significantly more productive in Python than in Java.
How much more productive? that u decide after your experience.
I present some comparisons on features of Java and Python. If you look at these comparisons, you can see why Python can be written much more quickly, and maintained much more easily, than Java.
Note: A programmer can be more productive in Python than in Java, is not the same as that one should always use Python and never to use Java. Programming languages are tools, and different tools are appropriate for different jobs. It is a poor workman whose toolbox contains only a hammer, and it is a poor programmer whose development toolkit contains only one programming language. Our toolboxes should contain both Python and Java, so that in any given situation we have the option of choosing the best tool for the job.
Java vs Python
1) Firstly if we see In Java, all variable names along with their types must be explicitly declared. Attempting to assign an object of the wrong type to a variable name triggers a type exception.That's what it means to say that Java is a statically typed language. i.e(java is static typed language)
were as in python, you never declare anything. An assignment statement binds a name to an object, and the object can be of any type. If a name is assigned to an object of one type, it may later be assigned to an object of a different type. That's what it means to say that Python is a dynamically typed language. i.e(this is dynamic typed programming language)
ex: a = 9
b = "9"
c = concatenate(a, b) // produces "99"
d = add(a, b) // produces 18
2) The great advantage of Java is that it can be used to create platform-independent applications. Any computer or mobile device that is able to run the Java virtual machine can run a Java application, whereas to run Python programs you need a compiler that can turn Python code into code that your particular operating system can understand. Thanks to the popularity of Java for web applications and simple desktop programs, most devices already have the Java virtual machine installed, so a Java programmer can be confident that their application will be usable by almost all users. The disadvantage of running inside a virtual machine is that Java programs run more slowly than Python programs.
3)you need to compile and run Java program, while Python doesn't need to be compiled. Python shell can directly interpret python commands, which means easier for programmers.Rest of examples you can analyze by yourself, but all it comes that both Java and Python are equally capable, no one is lesser than other.
For detailed differences you can refer to the below infograph

Good morning Scotland.
Every day we kick off the day with a live breakfast blog delivering you the latest news from today's Daily Record. You can't always listen to the radio, or watch the morning breakfast shows, so enjoy our data-friendly alternative at home, on your commute or even at work.
We'll have all of today's top stories, a look back at yesterday's trending articles from the website and regular weather and transport updates to make your morning commute as easy as possible. So keep your browser pointed in our general direction from now until 10am.
Good morning everybody.
Welcome along to another breakfast live blog from your trusty Daily Record news team. We've put out a packed edition today - we'll have the front and back pages and the main stories coming up a little later.
The roads still look quiet and no issues on the rails for now, but Traffic Scotland has issued fog and surface water warnings for the M74 and Strathclyde, so mind how you go.
A wee bit foggy around parts of #M74, esp J15. Also some Strathclyde surface water to be aware of. http://t.co/gRURGy1Lbz— Traffic Scotland (@trafficscotland) May 21, 2014
Apart from that we'll take a look at today's four-page Euro Election pullout special, fire out some of the best column inches (the wee, short stories from today's paper that never usually make it on to the site) as well as a daily dose of life coaching you're probably best not to live your life by from the interwebs.
Don't get caught out in the rain. You might need an umbrella today, or you might need to drop a bottle of factor 50 in your bag before you set off... to, you know... the airport or something. But the point is still the same! Don't get caught out by the weather! There's no need with our regular updates from the MET Office. So, what's it to be for you today, rays or rain?
Some cloud across northern Argyll at first but these soon clearing away north to leave a mainly dry day with sunny spells. During the afternoon there is just the chance of seeing an isolated shower mainly across Northern Argyll. Maximum Temperature 18 °C.
A cloudy start with some patchy light rain and quite murky but this soon clearing north to be followed by dry conditions with bright then sunny spells developing. The best of the sunshine around Aberdeen and Inverurie. Maximum Temperature 19 °C.
Lothian and Borders
A fine dry day with some good sunny spells developing the best of these around Dunbar. A lot warmer in the east, and Edinburgh in particular with the low cloud which plagued the east coast yesterday having cleared away overnight Maximum Temperature 19 °C.
Central, Tayside and Fife
A cloudy start with some patchy light rain and quite murky across Angus but this soon clearing north to be followed by dry conditions with bright then sunny spells developing. The best of the sunshine around St Andrews and Dundee. Maximum Temperature 19 °C
A cloudy day across Sutherland and the western isles with outbreaks of rain. The rain over the rest of the area will gradually die away as we go through the morning with some bright or sunny spells developing. Maximum Temperature 18 °C.
There's some big Scottish stories appearing on nationwide news networks just now. For example, police are investigating a suspected stash of cocaine found on North Sea oil rig. Apparently, all personnel on board production Piper Bravo are being made to undergo drug tests. Piper Bravo replaced the Piper Alpha which exploded in July 1988 killing 167 men, standing a short 120 metres from the wreck buoy marking the remains of the ill-fated platform.
In the world of sport, be sure to check out our gallery of Scottish players who are freed up for the transfer market this summer: A team of Scottish players available for free this summer
Then there was the peculiar case of the planners who demolished a £500,000 dream home because it was built 6ft higher and 9ft longer than originally specified. The devastated owners have even been billed £11,500 for the cost of the demolition. Car sales company manager Andy Murray said his family are ruined.
In less devastating news, jump the link to meet Balwinder Singh - the only female Asian taxi driver in Glasgow. The mum of five, who loves her punters' banter, is helping break down barriers and social stereotypes.
And that's just some of the top trending stories on the website this morning!
There's a nightmare on the A77. If you're putting off your departure until later, you might want to think again or start planning a diversion...
A77 Ayr, WhittlettsRBT trailer overturned, tractor over a couple lanes - the lights seem to be out of action too, watch ur approach ..— BBC Travel Scotland (@BBCTravelScot) May 21, 2014
Today's front page splash covers the tragic tale of 20-year-old Martin Hadfield, who committed suicide after the was repeatedly turned down for 40 jobs in three months.
We've also got a four-page European Election pullout special with more than enough advice for how we can keep UKIP out of our Europe seats.
The Scottish Premier Football League has got to pay TV companies a staggering £725,000 subsidy for Rangers and compensate for low viewing figures for all live games.
In today's Record Woman, former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts says she'd do Playboy as long as it was a classy shoot.
...and an ongoing search for a fisherman and his grandfather lost at sea in the fog has yet to turn up results. Both are feared dead or lost at sea.
Today's big sports story is, of course that the Scottish Premier Football League has to pay TV companies a tidy sum of £725,000 to subsidise Rangers and compensate for low viewing figures for all live games.
See the remaining Lisbon Lions parade the European Cup they won in 1967 at Celtic Park yesterday ahead of their trip back to the Portuguese capital this weekend for Real Madrid v Athletico.
Elsewhere, Ally McCoist is ready to crank up his interest in freed West Brom playmaker Scott Allan while Terry Butcher insists Hamilton's taunts have only made Hibs more determined to slam the Premiership door shut in their faces.
Because of that overturned tractor on the A77, lanes are restricted in all directions...

Here's a few column inches from today's paper:
Tickets back on sale after meltdown
Tickets for the Games go back on sale from today. Briefs for the opening and closing ceremonies, hockey, netball and rugby sevens, can be snapped up from 10am.
Athletics, badminton, squash and table tennis go on sale at the same time tomorrow.
All remaining sports, weightligting, para-sport powerlifting, lawn bowls, rhythmic gymnastics, shooting, boxing, judo and wrestling will be up for grabs from 10am on Friday.

But phone and computer systems went into meltdown and the sale was temporarily called off.
For tickets, visit www.glasgow2014.com or freephone 0800 458 2014.
Macca sidelined
Stricken Sir Paul McCartney has cancelled three gigs in Japan during his world tour after being laid low by a virus. Doctors have ordered "complete rest".
Actor faces murder rap
Actor Michael Jace has been arrested on suspicion of murder after his wife April was shot dead at their home. The Shield star, 48, is said to have told LA cops: "I shot my wife."
And finally...
A 40-year-old man wearing an inflatable sumo wrestler suit knocked himself out when he bounced off a work colleague at an event in Gloucestershire park.
we're a bit in the dark as to whether these "animals" are dogs, cows, giraffes, zebras or sentient amphibians sent from the future, but it doesn't matter - all you need to know is you need to go slow!

More bad news, this time from Calmac. They've just got round to sorting out their problems between Dunoon and Gourock.
Delays possible on Calmac between Ardrossan and Brodick due to technical problem. Sailings may be delayed or cancelled.— BBC Travel Scotland (@BBCTravelScot) May 21, 2014
We briefly touched upon the news that the SPFL would have to dig deep to come up with £725,000 to subsidise the cost of covering Rangers and compensate for low viewing figures.
In the wake of Rangers' spectacular fall from the top of the Scottish Premiership to the third division, television companies lost out big time, and the bill the SPFL have to fork out has tipped the £700k mark.
Read the full story in the sports section:
Our front page is headlined today by the tragic story of Martin Hadfield from Greenock, who took his own life because he was turned down for 40 jobs in three months. He refused to take state benefits and became so demoralised by his job search that after another unsuccessful job search, he was found dead in his room.
Read the story including an interview with his family here:
Tragic young Scot Martin Hadfield took his own life after being rejected for 40 jobs in three months
Four million people in Scotland are entitled to vote in tomorrow's European elections. It's up to YOU to keep Nigel Farage's UKIP out of that sixth seat.

The Expendables 3 may have thrown the best Cannes Film Festival party this year.
With some of the biggest action stars around in the upcoming movie, it's sure to have some incredible scenes but none more so than the pictures of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone waltzing across the dance floor at the premiere party for the action movie.
Watch the trailer here!
We thought we'd bring you something original now. As you all (should) know, Radio 1 descends on Glasgow this weekend with three days of live music, huge artists and pop classics.
In recognition of the huge names gracing Glasgow with their presence, we thought we'd put together a list of app essentials to get you through the weekend.
"What's this song called?" and "How does this one go again?" are filed in the past now all thanks to one of the Appstore's original apps, Shazam. The music discovery app has come a long way since its arrival on iPhones, now allowing you to hold your phone up, let it listen to live or recorded music and tell you exactly what it is - great if you're surrounded by 40,000 other people who all seem to know the words and you don't, because it makes sure you're not left our by displaying the lyrics in time with the music too!
Scotland being Scotland, who knows what the weather is to do. Some people will tell you it's to be dry, others say it'll almost certainly be wet. It won't matter, it'll still be a weekend to remember. Download the BBC Weather app to stay ahead of the clouds, and you won't need to pack a brolly AND factor 50 because you don't have a clue...
The BBC iPlayer Radio app has a function called playlister - allowing you to put songs played on the radio and organise them in to your own playlists. You can be sure that Radio 1 will be playing Coldplay and Katy Perry tracks live from Glasgow for weeks to come, so why not capture your favourite tracks all in one place and relive your memories a little bit longer.
The original and best post-photo filter app, Instagram, is going to be my photography app of choice. I might use something like Cortex Cam to create a 12MP photo from my 8MP iPhone camera if I'm really far away from the stage, but for simplicity, efficiency and interface design - you have to go a long way for a better end experience than Instagaram.
If you're one of the lucky few to get tickets for more than one day and you want to go out in Glasgow after the event, why not check out the Official Glasgow Guide app for a list of great events happening in the city over the coming days, weeks and months.
Finally, festival fashion is a big deal for a lot of people, so why not download asap54 - simply point your camera at someone wearing an outfit you like and the app will simply tell you who it is, where you can get it and how much it is. Simples.
Tell us in the comments section what apps you'd recommend for the Radio 1 Big Weekend!
When I go to a gig, I like to live at least a portion of it through a lens. I pull out my phone to record all my favourite songs. I know some people think of it as a bad habit, but at least I'm not the guy up the front holding up his iPad blocking everyone's line of sight.
Well, pint-sized Prince has asked revellers heading to the SSE Hydro gig in Glasgow not to bring cameras or use their camera phones. At previous gigs, he's told his audience to all bring out their phones at the same time, but to add to the peculiarity of his request, event organisers Ticket master have also asked concert-goers to wear purple in honour of the star.

I love, love, LOVE this story. You have no idea of the restraint I have had to show to leave it until now... but here we go...
Dog bite victim sues New York City for more money than there is on Earth
Anton Purisima is suing the City of New York for two undecillion dollars (that's $2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) after he is bitten by dog.
His claim, equivalent to £1,200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, is more than the amount of money on earth.
To back up his claim he includes a picture of his injured finger while saying the pain and other additional damages he suffered "cannot be repaired by money" and are 'therefore priceless.'
If there is one story you read today, you need to read this. Go on...
He's going to sue the heart of it, New York, New York.
Well, hopefully in the last few hours we've kept you dry, steered you clear of accidents and tailbacks, tickled your funny bones and satisfied your never-ending appetite for news. We'll be back tomorrow with more of the same. I'd love to tell you what we'll be covering, but by it's very nature, it probably hasn't even happened yet.
We'll see you back here tomorrow, same time same place, with all you need to know about the European Elections.
Stick with us through the day on Facebook, Twitter and Google+ to keep the conversation going and check back to the site later on - there's news breaking even as we speak.
Until tomorrow then, over and out.

Woman sues divorce attorneys for ending her marriage
Published On: Jan 14 2014 10:32:02 AM EST

Updated On: Jan 14 2014 10:11:09 AM EST
A British woman tried to sue her divorce attorneys, claiming they failed to properly explain to her that getting a divorce would end her marriage.
Jane Mulcahy argued her lawyers did not make it clear to her that divorcing her now ex-husband would cause the marriage to be terminated, the Independent reported.
A Roman Catholic, she believed her attorneys should have recommended "judicial separation" instead -- a step down from divorce in England.
Lord Justice Michael Briggs dismissed the case, and then the appeal as well, according to the Daily Mail.
No word on what Mr. Mulcahy had to say about the matter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic follow up to a brilliant debut,
Master J. M. Heyes "Armstrong" (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
Alter Bridge caught my attention after I heard about Creed's split, a band who I had never really valued, but recognised that there was a lot of potential in the sound they were making.
Alter Bridge's first album was a perfectly crafted, pure rock n roll gem, and this follow-up delivers more of the same soaring vocals, chugging riffs and widdly guitar work that I so love.
Blackbird see's Kennedy pick up the guitar for the first time, and crikey can he play! A few video's on youtube proved to me that he is just as accomplished as Tremonti, if not in a slightly different style. Also lyrically this album is darker, almost bleak in places - "One by One" is an example of this. The riffs are much more "metal" than "One day remains" which, in my opinion, suits Alter Bridge far better.
However there are still the uplifting, singalong anthems such as "Before tomorrow comes" and "Rise Today", Alter Bridge's trademark. However, the real highlight of this album for me is "Watch over you", a down-tempo, goose-bumps rock ballad that is moving and exciting in equal parts - a different Alter Bridge, but one that I very much approve of.
Unfortunately, Alter Bridge set such high standards with their best songs that certain tracks on this album become highly skippable - "Wayward One" and "We don't care at all" are still good songs in themselves but seem unnecessary.
Still, this is overwhelmingly another brilliant musical work from the american rockers, delivering more of the same incredibly powerful and melodic yet brutal rock tunes.

4.0 out of 5 stars They don't make them like this much nowadays!,
J. Groom (UK) - See all my reviews
In an age where mainstream 'hard rock' is dominated by uninspired bands like Nickelback and.... well Nickelback, and with Audioslave never living up to their potential, and seemingly a new bunch of emo kids crying through their eyeliner every month on MTV - this is a breath of fresh air!
I was maybe a little harsh before but bands like Nickelback are just so unexciting that to hear an album like this makes me glad I've still got long hair and like hearing someone playing his damn guitar like he means it!
Its basically unashamed heavy guitar rock with anthemic choruses, incendiary solos, crunching riffs, thunderous drums and a great set of Chris Cornell-esque vocals. Its energetic, sing-along music - great for driving or working-out.
Only four (I would say 4 and a half!)stars because it is a little one-dimensional and at 14 tracks is maybe a little too long without some more different sounding tracks. The first 8 or 9 or so are solid gold though! Highly recommended for fans of Audioslave, Soundgarden, early Queens of the Stone Age, Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Corrosion of Conformity, the Sword etc

5.0 out of 5 stars A masterful follow-up,
Rodney_Mullen "MdotF" (Salisbury) - See all my reviews
The world of proper music is not necessarily a strong one at the moment, the market is flooded with mediocre sub-par acts that stick around for a week or so before disappearing into obscurity (but not before releasing two or three autobiographies and making numerous television appearances). This is a dark time for music out of which rises the wonderful new effort by these guys, i was a fan of creed but with one day remains alter bridge truely blew me away, with blackbird they have done the same combining tremonti's stunning guitar-work with kennedy's stunning vocal range and ability creating a second suburb album. Marshall and Phillips give solid performances as usual and overall the album is very good form beginning to end. I think this aalbum is much more solid than one day remains in that it has quality throughout, for me one day remains had a few blow-away tracks but also had a few dodgy ones, blackbird however is hard to criticise in any way. I was hooked from the first listen and having only listened through a few times through clear favourites beginning to emerge are 'brand new start', 'before tomorrow comes' and 'rise today'. Fantastic album, it's just a shame that in this country it wont get the recognition it truely deserves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock in its finest form,
Nathan Reese (Seattle, Wa) - See all my reviews
I was fortunate enough to come across Alter Bridges cd a few days prior to its release on October 9th. Let me quickly say that it is a tour de force. Their first cd One Day Remains was an outstanding album. The 3 former members of Creed(Mark Tremonti, Scott Phillips, Brian Marshall) picked up singer Miles Kennedy(of the Mayfield Four) and proceeded to create an album that reminded the world how rock should be played. Their second album is no disappointment.
Blackbird is one of those albums that inspires one not to just listen to the music, but to pick up an instrument yourself. A bit heavier than the first and full of outstanding guitar work by Tremonti Blackbird simply outshines their previous effort(which in no way diminishes the that album). Lyrically, vocally and musically this album stands as a beacon in the rock world. The guitar solo still lives and what a glorious thing it is.
Blackbird is one of those albums that rarely comes along. Its like Metallica's Black Album or U2's The Joshua Tree. It may never have that amount of success, but if the world was fair it would find its place among the greats. There have been good albums released this year. All pale in comparsion to this one.
Say what you will about the cookie cutter rock music found on every radio station and adored by 15 year old girls Fall Out Boy is just not the same. In an era where it is more important for labels to make a buck and so they throw the world copy after copy, Alter Bridge has come to stand firm above the rest. They may never reach the mainstream success of(their previous band)Creed, Nickelback, or Pearl Jam but their music far surpasses anything produced by the afore mentioned bands.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Impressive Album!,
Dustin Gray "Dustin" (Chattanooga, TN USA) - See all my reviews
I have always liked Creed, so when they split up I was pretty much devistated. Luckily for me Alter Bridge came along. The first CD was really awesome, I loved how it was much heavier and allowed the always great Mark Tremonti as well as his band mates Scott and Brian to play the way they were supposed to. The debut album was a good album, but I wasn't as into it as I would have hoped to be. The only thing was that I didn't have the respect for Myles yet. Don't get me wrong, I loved it, but with some albums you just get this really nice feeling when it's COMPLETELY awesome. When Alter Bridge went on tour I saw them in Chattanooga. I gained a new respect for every one of them. This CD reflects THEM more I think. The guitar riffs are INSANE, I love Mark's style. The drum beats are really awesome, Phillips is a great drummer.Brian Marshall really did a great job in this album too. I am really glad they got Myles as a singer, his voice is great, I actually like his better than Scott Stapp's. I could tell they really loved playing this music. This CD is really great, I think anyone could enjoy this if they enjoy good music. Some songs I really like is "Ties That Bind," "Come To Life," "Rise Today," "White Knuckles," "Blackbird," "Watch Over You"(which is a really sweet song, kind of has the feeling of "In Loving Memory"). Buy this CD, if you liked the first CD you will NOT regret it. This CD is a MUST buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable, just as good as One Day Remains,
G. McFarlane "gav_mcf" (Aberdeen, Scotland) - See all my reviews
Firstly I'd like to say that One Day Remains is probably my favourite album ever. I didn't think this one could quite live up to it, guess what - it does! This album had me hooked from start to finish and is truly amazing music.
The guitar playing couldn't be better and Tremonti surely fixes his place as one of the best after this. Myles Kennedy as well is a brilliant vocalist.
It's hard to review the songs because they're all so good, I can't praise them enough. Although if I had to chose I'd say my favourite songs are "Ties That Bind", "Before Tomorrow Comes", "Break Me Down" and the outstanding "Blackbird", amazing stuff. "Rise Today" is also really good and is probably the most commercial song on the album. All the others are great too.
If you don't know much about Alter Bridge I strongly recommend to try out their albums, you won't regret it. Forget rubbish like The Kooks, Kaiser Chiefs, Paulo Nutini and The Fratellis, they all sound the same! This is real music.

5.0 out of 5 stars must have this album!!!!!!!!!!!,
altough the album is not due for release until 8th Octover 07, I have heard from various websites 5 of the new tracks which sound absolutely awesome!!!!!!!
One Day Remains is undoubtably one of the best ever rock albums. Blackbird promises to be even better! On the Tracks I've heard (which are Rise Today, Ties That Bind, Brand New Start, Before Tomorrow Comes and Watch over You), Myles Kennedy is on outstanding form and Tremonti's guitars just get better.
The opening track will be Ties That Bind and what a track to start with!! the guitar intro is great, it starts of fairly mild but before you know it, it's in full swing.
Of the songs I've heard so far, Before Tomorrow Comes is my personal fav, which is more of ballad (a bit like broken wings).
Goes with saying that I cannot wait until 8/10/07. (and the tour in January)

5.0 out of 5 stars Harder, Louder, it's Alter Bridge,
Mr. N. J. Henderson (Bude, Cornwall) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
Blackbird, Alter Bridge's second studio album and the follow up to One Day Remains, is another quality collection of Hard Rock, slightly harder than it's predecessor but musically stronger.
Lyrically, Myles Kennedy contributes more on this album, after all One Day Remains was written mostly before he joined.
The result is an accomplished rock album bursting with distorted guitar riffs, elegant choruses and brilliant solos, Alter Bridge have delivered a truly unique album.
It's a shame it appears to have sold less well then One Day Remains, that's tough on Alter Bridge because overall this is a much better album.
It's a less mainstream rock sound, but no-one can deny Alter Bridge have delivered a hard rock classic right here, no arguments.
Track Picks: "Watch Over You" and "Ties That Bind"

5.0 out of 5 stars Great album...here's a longish and formal review for it!,
D. Thorpe "Dave Lee" (England) - See all my reviews
Following the success of Alter Bridges debut Album "One day remains" was never going to be easy. Such was the critical acclaim of the aforementioned album that it had fans packing themselves into modest arenas. And although their first tour of the UK was a modicum of success, it was the second tour of the UK where the band gained such a high reputation for providing a thrilling live experience. So with the first effort being so well received could Blackbird re-produce that same quality and excitement or even better it.
Well appetites have been whet with the single "Rise today", a rock song that is typical of Alter Bridge as it epitomizes their trademark melodies and sing-along choruses. And there is still enough of the classic Alter Bridge sound that fans have accustomed to on Blackbird to keep them happy. Songs such as the previously mentioned "Rise today", "Brand new start" and "Before tomorrow comes" proving this. However the band has clearly taken a new aggressive approach in some of their writing. This has incorporated itself in a greater use of riffs and an altogether heavier sound.
The album starts off in a similar fashion to One day remains, with two hard rocking tracks that will have heads bobbing and arms thrusting in arenas with no trouble at all. Then, again like the first album, opts to slow down the momentum and what we're left with is "Brand new start" an up-lifting ballad, in the same vain that "Broken Wings" was.
One of the differences between the two albums is that the first, One day remains, was written largely before Tremonti and Co. appointed lead singer Myles Kennedy. Therefore this time round Alter Bridge have made full use in what has turned out to be a indispensable weapon in their song-writing approach. With Kennedy integrated as second guitarist it also adds much more harmony as it is utilized to good effect in riffs as well as providing backing for Tremonti's solos or visa versa. And Kennedy's influence is duly noted on tracks such as "Before tomorrow comes" and the beautifully melancholic "Watch over you", both of which are reminiscent of the Mayfield Four.
The song writing and the structures of the songs have improved no end and given the quality of the first album that is indeed a statement to take note of. The songs contain more riffs each one as, if not, more aggressive and sinister sounding than the last such can be found in "Come to life" and "White knuckles", two very brutal riffs if there ever was. And there are much more intricate melodic lines to keep the listener hooked with Tremonti paying homage to his blues influences and his rock influences, the likes of Eddie Van Halen and Zakk Wylde can be picked out especially on "Buried Alive" where Tremonti produces some Van Halen style whamming bar fills and on the album title track "Blackbird" where Tremonti ushers out some Wylde style solos but in every solo evident on the album Tremonti's own style of shred has a prominent role.
It is fair to say that Alter Bridge have kept with the sound that has served them so well and still play to their strong card of sing-along choruses and rock ballads "One by One" being the particular favourite, but not one fan should complain about any of the individual songs. However it would seem they have clearly subdued the urge to over use the clichéd soft - heavy song pattern that was so prominent during the first effort. Yet they still allow each song and the listener to have a breather and keep it interesting until it kicks off again.
Each individual member is also given their moment to shine and show how much they have improved over the years, most notable Mark Tremonti making full use of his shredding ability. However, it would be harsh not to mention the good work done by Scott Philips on drums as his patterns and ideas really do give each song a little extra in quality especially on "Coming home".
While the individuals have clearly been practising, one can also hear that as a group they are gelling more and more as each song contains at least one section of brilliant band dynamics, one might even go as far to say there are some prog influenced sections in various songs for example "Blackbird".
Perhaps inevitably though the latter part of the album does lack the same excitement, which was evident in the first half. With the latter songs sounding trite in sound and lacking the cutting edge ideas that was previously displayed to great effect.
All in all this is a very progressive album and certainly lives up to the standard set by One day remains. The band has clearly taken their writing to the next level and has produced some truly remarkable songs. All the while balancing their typical sound and integrating a developing heavier and aggressive one, which makes the album sound as if it is split between the old Alter Bridge and the new heavier Alter Bridge. Such a remark seems bizarre after two albums but given the significantly aggressive nature of some tracks it seems a fair point.

Feb. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Tajikistan, which gets most of its oil from Russia, is also willing to purchase crude from Iran, Press TV reported, citing Dolat Ali Hatamov, the central Asian country's ambassador to Tehran.
Hatamov, who spoke yesterday, didn't give any details, according to the Iranian state-run news channel's website.
The Iranian government said this week it halted direct sales of crude to French and British buyers and forbade re-sale of its oil to these two nations, which have been harsh critics of its nuclear program.
The move was aimed at pre-empting a European Union embargo of Iranian oil set to take effect in July. Iran will give its crude to "new customers," Alireza Nikzad Rahbar, an Oil Ministry spokesman, said on Feb. 19.
