Emma Watson, Jennifer Lawrence, Katy Perry & 10 Other Fab Onstage Looks At The People's Choice Awards
It wasn't only onstage. Lots of gorgeous celebrities either whizzed through the red carpet super quickly at the People's Choice Awards last night, or chose to skip it entirely, only to appear on stage to accept an award or two. We picked our top 10 from this list and plenty of your favorites are included. Jennifer Lawrence to begin with in a Valentino Fall 2012 Couture dress with Nicholas Kirkwood black satin pumps and Cartier jewels. Love J.Law, but not so enamored by this dress. This is the photograph she's most working it in, but in others, it ages her and swamps her frame. Then, we have Sandra Bullock in a blue custom Vera Wang strapless bodice and pencil skirt, but what really got us excited, were her hot pink pumps matched with her hot pink lipstick. Jennifer Aniston in Christian Dior surprised us, because even though her dress was her usual black, it was quite playful and featured a flounced skirt. She paired it with Tom Ford black ankle-strap heels and Fred Leighton jewels. Emma Watson wore a jazzy, kaleidoscopic Peter Pilotto with strappy Tabitha Simmons 'Bailey' sandals, while Katy Perry was the most toned down we've seen in a while, in a demure Valentino Fall 2012 dress with Jimmy Choo suede pumps, Jennifer Behr headpiece, and Sylva & Cie earrings. Hits of gorgeous yellow were provided by Brittany Snow's pale daffodil draped Maria Lucia Hohan three-quarters dress and Melissa Rauch's bright sunflower Junko Yoshioka gown accessorized expertly with Stuart Weitzman gold heels and a gold Vincent Camuto clutch. Shout out to Ellen Pompeo for busting out some Lanvin as well! Check out all the looks in the gallery below.

Celebrities Flock Court-Side To Watch The NBA All-Star Game
Sunday night, the NBA All-Star game court-side at the Staples Center in L.A was studded with celebrities. Rihanna put on a raunchy show singing a medley of her hits with guest performers Drake and Kanye West. She spent the rest of the game chilling with one very happy Justin Bieber while Lenny Kravitz sat one space away. It was also Rihanna's birthday yesterday so can we please have a chorus of Happy Birthday RiRi!
Right by the Biebs and a flame haired Rih', were superstar couple Jay-Z and a gorgeous Beyonce, who had the sexiest pair of crystal Christian Louboutin skyscraper pumps on. They looked super-relaxed while chowing down on nachos, so screw the rumors that Jay-and-Bey are separating. They weren't the only ones snacking while watching the game. Rick Fox and Eliza Dushku chowed down too. Ellen Pompeo and her husband Chris Ivery were watching from the crowds as well. What? No court-side tickets, guys?
Also, in one of the oddest seating arrangements ever, Lil Wayne was sitting next to Maria Shriver, who were a couple of seats away from John Legend and girlfriend-supermodel Chrissy Teigen. The Chicago Bulls mascot , Benny the Bull, got lucky, getting Teigen to sit on his lap while Legend took pictures. Looking far more serious were P Diddy and Nick Cannon who sat together. Shriver wasn't around without her husband, in case you're wondering. Arnold Schwarzenegger was around chatting with Gene Simmons.

Katherine Heigl Confirms She's Done With Grey's Anatomy
Izzie? Who's Izzie? Katherine Heigl confirms that she shan't be returning to the set of Grey's Anatomy—which she's been noticeably absent from of late. "I'm done. We just finalized our agreement. Everyone had been working really hard to find an amicable and gracious way of letting go and moving on. It's sad but it's what I wanted." And sorry, fans…that "amicable and gracious way of letting go" will not involve her returning to tie up any loose ends, making her final appearance in January truly her final appearance. "I know I'm disappointing the fans. I just had to make a choice. I hope I made the right one."
Though Heigl claims motherhood—and not her rising movie stardom—is what caused her new outlook ("I started a family and it changed everything for me"), we can't imagine frienemy co-stars like Ellen Pompeo and the writers she dissed by pulling her name from Emmy consideration in 2008 will be sad to see her go. And now she won't have to deal with those 17-hour-work days…unless her movie stardom goes the way of Shelley Long's.

Baby Battle: Katherine Heigl Vs. Ellen Pompeo
In a move worthy of a dramatic nighttime medical soap opera, people are accusing Katherine Heigl of trying to upstage her co-star Ellen Pompeo by revealing her adoption details on the same day that Pompeo pooped out her new baby. A source familiar with both actresses said that Heigl's adoption of 10-month-old Naleigh, which was made public on September 15, was planned to detract from Pompeo's baby delivery. "It was very curious timing for her to drop that. It was an adopted kid — she could have chosen any other day to make it public. Why compete?" the source said.
Then Pompeo announced her baby's birth yesterday, the same day that Heigl's People magazine cover was released. Is it all a coincidence that the crew at Seattle Grace have baby fever, or are they really that competitive? Judging from the real-life drama on that set, we wouldn't put it past them.[Photo: GettyImages]

I have to say, since I got separated from ex, a lot of great things have been happening. For one, I think that now that he's no longer part of the package (even for work) I'm more appealing to people. Also, because I"m not so stressed out all of the time with him I have more energy to devote to my career.

Nice app to practice writing
I think it is a pretty good app, but it would be much better if it included the pronunciation of the letters. It gives you that option, but it does not work. At least mine didn't.

Limited-time feature
30 year old man | Newcastle, WA, USA | Seeking women 24-31 within 50 miles of Renton, WA
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take
Geez how do I start? Well my name is Aaron and I'm 28 who's ready to settle down. I'm at the age now where chasing women is no longer appealing to me and now its about finding that special woman to perhaps share my life with someday. I grew up in Tacoma but have lived in renton for the last couple years and love. Seems like I'm in the middle of everything. I don't like the spotlight but I do like to be out and about. So I go out often. If I go out its usually in Seattle or Bellevue. Some things you would want to know about me is that I'm a gentleman and pride myself on being one. Chilvary is a lost art but I'm one who practices and preaches treating women with respect. I had a role in my father who showed me those things with how he treated my mother and I in turn share those same concepts I once learned. I'm big on family even though I don't spend as much time with my family as I would like cause I'm always on the go but my parents have been together 27 years and that's important to me a well. I believe them being a positive influence on me has made me into the man I am today and I look to have the same thing as they still have to this day. I'm not into partying as much as I used to but I do love to go out and have a good time. I'm very spontaneous and love trying new things. Its the season for snowboarding so I'm big on that right now. I'm big on health so I'm in the gym 5 to 6 times a week lifting weights so I'm in really good shape. Love to play football and basketball as well, pretty much anything athletic I'll do. I love to eat healthy but I also love to eat whatever I want lol. I'm big on Italian food so if you know how to cook anything Italian you may already have me lol. With all that being said I'm looking for a woman who will accept me for the man I am and nothing less. I've have women tell me that that they're too scared to be with me or they're not ready for me cause of the type of man I am or they think I'll change up. I'm true to myself and what I am and like who I am as a man. I'll never change up, haven't to this day. I'm looking for someone who knows who they are as a women and what they want in a man. A woman who tries or puts in the effort to me has already won me over. I think to me that's important cause it makes me feel significant and that I'm doing something right. I feel time with someone is the only way with getting to know one another. Without that there isn't much chance things will last unless communication is really good. The woman of my dreams is out there somewhere I know she is and if you feel as though your it and deem me worthy enough to take a chance on then I look forward to talking with you. I'm an open book and any questions you have I'll be happy to answer. Hope to talk to you soon :-)

Goodyear launches NASCAR sweepstakes
Comments EmailAKRON (April 21, 2014) — A new car, a set of tires and trip to an upcoming NASCAR race are the big prizes in Goodyear's Fuel Strategy Sweepstakes, running through May 16.
Fans have a chance to win one of the most fuel-efficient cars on the road, the Toyota Camry Hybrid LE, equipped with Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max tires, Goodyear said, as the grand prize for the sweepstakes.

Two first prize winners will receive a VIP trip for two to the fall NASCAR races Sept. 5-6 at Richmond International Raceway, Richmond, Va.. The prize includes round-trip airfare, hotel accommodations, ground transportation and tickets to the weekend's events. Five second prize winners will win a set of four Goodyear tires.

Paovic, 26, thanked Croatian residents who had raised money through humanitarian actions for her rehabilitation and given her emotional support.
She said: "This was really the hardest year of my life, and I sometimes thought I would never be able to return to Croatia. My recovery is going well, and I am looking forward to the future."
Paovic will spent Christmas at her parents home in Vukovar in eastern Croatia and then return to Switzerland.

Product description
I stole every nickel and blew it on fine threads, luxurious lodgings, fantastic foxes and other sensual goodies. I partied in every capital in Europe and basked on all the world's most famous beaches'. Frank W Abagnale, alias Frank Williams, Robert Conrad, Frank Adams and Ringo Monjo, was one of the most daring con men, forgers, imposters and escape artists in history. In his brief but notorious career, Abagnale donned a pilot's uniform and co-piloted a Pan Am jet, masqueraded as a member of hospital management, practised law without a licence, passed himself off as a college sociology professor, and cashed over $2.5 million in forged checks all before he was twenty-one. Known by the police of twenty-six foreign countries and all fifty states as 'The Skywayman', Abagnale lived a sumptuous life on the run - until the law caught up with him. Now recognised as the nation's leading authority on financial foul play, Abagnale is a charming rogue whose hilarious, stranger-than-fiction international escapades and ingenious escapes - including one from an aeroplane - make CATCH ME IF YOU CAN an irresistable tale of deceit.

Author information
After a life of crime, Frank Abagnale has cleaned up his act. As the founder of an anit-fraud corporation he lectures regularly to top executives nationwide from the Department of Justice to the American Institute of Banking and has run over 3000 programmes in 22 years. He is also the author of another book entitled THE ART OF STEAL.
Editorial reviews
Now a film starring Leonardo di Caprio, this is the true story of the criminal activities of Frank W Abagnale, and it's a tale stranger than fiction. Known as the 'Skywayman', Abagnale cashed over $2.5 million in forged cheques before the age of 21. He was one of the most daring conmen, forgers, impostors and escape artists in history. Abagnale came from a broken home yet had a relatively easy upbringing with his honest and trusting father. The lure of attractive women and a luxurious lifestyle and the ease with which someone with Frank's sharp intelligence and seductive manner could acquire those things were the motivating factors that lured the young man into the life of a fugitive. He never felt like a criminal yet he became a conman 'of Academy Award calibre'. The challenge of being able to swindle his way to success proved too much to resist and he travelled across continents, changing identity and passing counterfeit cheques. He soon learnt that a uniform was a passport to respect and dignity and successfully donned a pilot's uniform and co-piloted a Pan Am jet. His other outrageous scams included masquerading as the supervising resident of a hospital, practising law without a licence and passing himself off as a college sociology professor. His adventures make very entertaining reading and it is difficult not to admire his nerve and intelligence. Abagnale led a life of luxury while on the run from police in 25 different countries and across the United States but it all came to a grim end when he decided to 'retire' to France, aged 20. Identified by an ex-lover, he was thrown into a French prison where he was stripped, starved and forced to live in solitary confinement in filth and complete darkness for six months. Only the imagination that had once fuelled his crimes kept him from descending into madness. He was eventually removed to Sweden where he was treated for double pneumonia and severe malnutrition but then faced the prospect of being a wanted man across the globe and further imprisonment. His subsequent escapes from the authorities were characteristically audacious and make fascinating and hilarious reading. He was finally captured and forced to pay for his crimes in the US in 1971. Since then, Abagnale has turned his life around to become a successful white-collar crime specialist, lecturing on counterfeiting and secure documents. Today he teaches the FBI Academy and is the founder of a secure-document corporation in Washington DC. The book ends with an interview with the man himself, who reflects on his early life and the lessons he has learned. Unmissable. (Kirkus UK)

Trumpeter Neufeld brings his quartet home for a gig
Milwaukee native Sam Neufeld brings his jazz quartet home for a gig at VIA Downer, 2625 N. Downer Ave., on Monday, Jan. 14 from 7:30 until 10 p.m.
Neufeld currently lives in Greenpoint, in Brooklyn, and studies jazz at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music.
"Every time I come back home," he says, "I set up some shows and fly a couple of my buddies into town to play. This winter we are going to be playing at VIA Downer, as well as (doing) a couple clinics."
In addition to trumpeter Neufeld, the group includes bassist Devin Starks, drummer Devin Drobka and alto saxophonist Albert Baliwas.
Neufeld and company will perform a mix of originals tunes and their own arrangements of jazz standards.

That Lenovo Android tablet which passed through the FCC last month is now available from the Lenovo site. Refreshing your memory a bit in case its being occupied by other things, the tablet is the Lenovo IdeaTab S2109. It's an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich tablet that looks a lot like and measures the same as the iPad. The tablet, in case you missed our previous story, sports the same 9.7-inch 4:3 aspect ratio display of the iPad. The display resolution is pegged at 1024 x 768 pixels. It's not Corning Glass nor Retina display, but I'm pretty sure it would be decent enough for your movie-watching pleasures.

Coursework time has hit me at college and no matter how much I hit the books the answer is not hitting me. It might be simple but I can't see it. Of course, the question is needed. I had to titrate sulphuirc acid with sodium hydroxide. Not hard to write coursework on and I am sure that if I did it without what I am trying to find out (below) then it would be fine but I am not happy just to accept that there should be equal amounts of sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide to create a neutral solution. I read in these forums that the molar pH of sulphuirc acid is less than that of the pOH of the sodium hydroxide. For my hypothesis I want to be able to say why I think that there needs to be more sodium hydroixde to create a neutral pH overall. For what I need help with is the maths, really. I have been studying for the last 4 hours trying to make sense of the dissonance(?) of acids and bases and how this affects the pH or the moles (not even sure which). I installed a system that was posted up here from the 'few questions' thread (called BATE) and it says that for an equal amount of [tex]0.01[/tex] [tex]mol[/tex] [tex]dm^{-3}[/tex] concentrations of each susbstance I should get an overall pH of 6.17. I am trying to find out how to get to this number and how I can explain it along the way. Even if this wasn't coursework I would have ask the same question (actually, to be honest I don't need it in my coursework it is more for interest but I really want to understand it). Cheers The Bob (2004 ©) P.S. After re-reading it I hope it makes sense. What I want to know is how to work out that the pH after mixing, say, 10cm³ of sodium hydroixde to 10cm³ of sulphuric acid (both concentrated to 0.01M) is going to be 6.17, and therefore how much sodium hydroxide is actually needed. Also I will need to explain why so if you know any websites that will do that, to save you writing it, then I would be grateful.
The pH of an equimolar sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid is 7, both are considered strong acid/base; the product salt of the two is weak with respect acid or base and thus the pH will remain 7. In the case of a different combination of where one of them is a weak acid/base and the other a strong base/acid with equimolar values of both, you'll need to consider that the product salt component of the weak acid/base will actually influence the pH upon the complete neutralization. Yes, the strong base acid/base will react to completion with the weak acid/base (that is completely neutralized)...the sole factor which affects the pH afterwards is the product salt.
I have done the titration and the results show that for 10.0cm³ of 0.01M sulphuric acid, approximately 11.0cm³ of 0.01M sodium hydroixde is needed. Are you trying to say that on of the substances is strong and the other is weak because with equal concentrations I can't see that making any difference. I have been looking around and I found these sorts of equations: [tex]K_w = [H^+][OH^-][/tex] [tex]K_a = \frac{[H^+][HA^-]}{[H_2 A]}[/tex] coming from [tex]H_2A \rightarrow H^+ + HA^-[/tex] The Bob (2004 ©)
It is not. Equimolar means 'Having an equal number of moles'. pH will be much lower, depending on the H+ concentration. Chemical calculators for labs and education BATE - pH calculations, titration curves, hydrolisis
The problem is, you will not get this number, because it is wrong - and I have no idea how did you get it using BATE :( Can you give some more details? Chemical calculators for labs and education BATE - pH calculations, titration curves, hydrolisis
ok, first of all, as long as there is a strong acid/base component present all of the base/acid component will be neutralized (think, la chatelier). In all cases of titrations, assuming equimolar reaction, the final pH is actually pertains to the salt product obtained from the acid base reaction. If you're referring to to the second ionization of sulfuric acid, it is negligible compared to the first. Look up the ionization constants yourself.
The pH comes from the concentration of the acid/base as well as the dissociation constant (or you can use Ka/Kb). If the dissociation constants are very close to 1 (Ka/Kb large), the pH is roughly a function of concentration alone.
pH of endpoint depends on the salt present at endpoint regardless of whether the reaction is equimolar or is not. I remember them so I don't have to check. pKa1=-3, pKa2 = 2. Difference is large but pKa2 is far from being negligible. NaHSO4 solutions are highly acidic - 0.01M solution has pH 2.21, not 7 as you stated. Chemical calculators for labs and education BATE - pH calculations, titration curves, hydrolisis
I tried it again and I didn't get the same answer. To be honest because I do not understand about the dissonance of the acids/bases I can't use the system properly. This is what I want to know. How to work it out and how to apply it. Cheers. The Bob (2004 ©)
If it is equimolar than it will depend on the salt alone, if not we'll need to account for the excess of the acid/base. I never said that a NaHS04 solution, an acidic solution, was neutral. The pH of HSO4- is not 2.21. The pH due to the first acid dissociation alone is 2. An acid/base classified as strong is deemed for the most part to dissociate almost to completion in water, in this case [itex]K_a[/itex] will be very large (Gokul...way above 1) since [itex]K_a= \frac{[H^+][anion]}{[H_SO_4]} [/itex]. [itex]K_{a2}[/itex] is actually [itex]1.2 x 10^{-2}[/itex]. There's really no comparison. Bob, solve this equation for x, assuming a original solution of sulfuric acid of .01M and sodium hydroxide .01M... [tex].012= \frac{[x]^2}{[.01M-x]}[/tex] Subtract from pH 7. What you can also do is to actually calculate the pH of sulfuric acid as a whole, including Ka for both its acids. After finding the total concentration of H+ produced, find the excess of the latter by subtracting from the concentration of hydroxide. This would be more accurate. [tex].012= \frac{[.01+x][x]}{[.01-x]} [/tex], solve for x. [itex][H_3O^+]=[x+.01][/itex]. I'm sure you can do the rest. You'll find that the pH of an equimolar solution of sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid is roughtly 6.9, perhaps a bit higher.
Wouldn't be too sure about that. I am studying this one my own and this is the only place I can get help. So how do you know that [tex]K _{a2}[/tex] is 0.012 and why is it that you are using [tex]K _{a2}[/tex]??? The Bob (2004 ©)
On 03-06-2005 at 11:27 you stated: Now you deny it. Further discussion makes no sense. Chemical calculators for labs and education BATE - pH calculations, titration curves, hydrolisis
Here is the problem. I understand nothing at all to do with working out pHs or pOHs. I only found out yesterday that there was a unit pOH. The problem is I have 10 cm3 of Sodium Hydroxide and 10 cm3 of Sulphuric Acid. I mix them together and they, obviously, create an overall pH. I need to work out what that pH is. How do I do it, using the formulas that are needed and an explaination to what each bit is for and means, please. I would be really, really grateful if someone could explain it to be and, more or less, drag me through it. Thanks. The Bob (2004 ©)

Dissociation equation: [tex]AcH \leftrightarrow Ac^- + H^+[/tex] Equilibrium constant: [tex]K_a = \frac{[Ac^-][H^+]}{[AcH]}[/tex] If you know total concentration - say it is [tex]C_a[/tex] - you may calculate [tex]H^+[/tex] concentration assuming - in accordance with reaction equation - that [tex][Ac^-] = [H^+][/tex]. If so, undissociated acid concentration is [tex][AcH] = C_a - [H^+][/tex] and [tex]K_a = \frac{[H^+]^2}{C_a - [H^+]}[/tex] which is a quadratic equation. Solve it for [tex][H^+][/tex]: [tex][H^+] = \frac{-K_a + \sqrt{K_a^2 + 4 K_a C_a}}{2}[/tex] and you know how to perform pH calculation of the weak acid solution. Assumption that [tex][Ac^-] = [H^+][/tex] is not always valid - to be precise you should take account of [tex][H^+][/tex] ions from the water autodissociation. For not very weak acids and not very diluted solutions assumption holds. Now get back to the sulphuric acid and its equimolar solution with sodium hydroxide - which is the same as [tex]NaHSO_4[/tex] solution. You may treat [tex]HSO_4^-[/tex] the same way acetic acid was treated above - first dissociation step was already 'consumed' by neutralization and is not influencing the situation (that's not always the case - here is). As I already wrote [tex]pK_{a2}[/tex] equals 2 - so [tex]K_{a2}[/tex] (which describes second dissociation equilibrium) equals 0.01. Put it into the equation for the [tex][H^+][/tex] together with the 0.01 concentration (in the real titration you will have to calculate the dilution factor) and you will get [tex][H^+] = \frac{-0.01 + \sqrt{0.01^2 + 4*0.01*0.01}}{2} = 0.00618[/tex] and pH = 2.21 Hope that helps.

Borek, I mentioned a solution of the strong acid base, however you were implying that I had made a statement where an pure acid solution had a pH of 7. Bob, I'm not able to explain everything about acid/base chemistry right here, what you'll need to do is read up on your own. For now I'll explain a simple case...what is the pH of a solution of .01M sulfuric acid? We'll assume that the first acid dissociates to completion, this will give .01M of [H+] and [HSO4-] upon dissociation. The pH at this point can be calculated by taking the negative log of the concentration of [H+]....[itex]pH=-log[H^+][/itex], at this point the pH is 2. However, if you wish to be absolutely exact the you'll need to incorporate the second ionization which has its own dissociation constant [itex]K_{a2}[/itex]. This is where this equation comes in [tex]K_{a2}= \frac{[H+][SO_4^{2-}]}{[HSO_4^-]} [/tex] the initial concentration of [H+] is .01M, 0 for the sulfate, and .01 for the acid. Thus when x M of the acid has dissociated, [tex].012= \frac{[.01+x][x]}{[.01-x]} [/tex] Solving for x and then finding [.01 + x] will give you the hydronium concentration of which the pH is approximately 1.9.
I can accept all of this. This is all fine. This is where I get lost. I don't see what you have done and why. The rest of this post I can, again, accept, so long as if I try another one I can run it through here. And yes, BATE says that too. Cheers for the help so far. The Bob (2004 ©)
Understood. I am not looking for the easy road. Just the chance to understand. What is the 0.12 from??? The Bob (2004 ©)
It is Ka2, the equilibrium constant for the second dissociation of sulfuric acid. So again, the summary is that by neglecting this dissociation, a sulfuric acid solution will be deemed to have a pH of 2; by taking account of the second dissociation, it will roughly have a pH of 1.9. From this you can obtain a good idea of the pH due to equimolar solution pertaining to your initial proposal. For most calculations at most schools/universities, the second dissociation is neglected, so you won't have an opportunity to show off your skills.
I am sure I have more questions but I am going to do some independent learning first and see what I understand of this thread and of books. As I have said I am learning this myself, I mean the teacher haven't set us a task I just want to know, but my teacher is saying I should wait until next year. The problem is if I wait until next year then I will have more to learn rather than just a little revision. I am going to, now, set myself the task of finding the pH of 10cm³ of 0.03 M Acetic Acid and 10cm³ of 0.03 M of Sodium Hydroxide so be ready for some more explaining of a wrong answer. Thanks for your help so far. Really do appreaciate it (even if I can't spell it). I assume, GCT, that you have a degree in Chemistry or so, no??? The Bob (2004 ©)

Soup of the day

Established in 1868, Baxters produces some of the UK's favourite soups, condiments, beetroot, preserves and chutneys
Featuring the six brands, Baxters, Garners, Simply Delicious, Pizza Express, Peppadew and Mary Berry, the family-owned Baxters Group provides over 150 quality food products to a range of customers across the globe. Through its four UK sites and one in Canada, 80 per cent of sales are made in the home markets, with
20 per cent exported to countries including Australia, South Africa, Hong Kong and
the US.
Despite witnessing a lot of changes through its history, the company is now in the fourth generation of family ownership and is still working under its initial mission,
'Be different, Be better.' This defining phrase was first used in 1868 when George
Baxter opened a small grocery shop in Fochabers, Scotland. It was George's wife,
Margaret, who helped define the future of the company as she began making jams
and jellies in the shop, which became popular in Gordon Castle as the Baxter
reputation spread.
In 1916 the first factory was built with William and Ethel Baxter supervising
production and spreading the word across Scotland. 1928 saw beetroot added to the production line as a leading grocer approached William Baxter with the idea. Before the war Baxters had become an important market player as it pioneered the canning of soft fruit and further developed its range of soups.
As the company looked to re-build after the war, 1959 saw Gordon Baxter leave for the United States with a range of jam and marmalade. After spreading the Baxter
name, he returned with a number of new ideas for developing the business. In the
'60s and '70s it became the first UK company to offer 12 oz jars and a resealable
twist cap.
After significant growth in the '80s, Audrey Baxter took control in 1992 as the
fourth generation of the family to run the business. Four years later a new £7 million
Riverside factory was opened signalling the intentions of Audrey to continue the
business' growth. A part of this strategy was to open a retail side of the business,
with five outlets now open in Scotland. In 2001 another facility was opened with soup production moving to Grimsby. The year also saw the acquisition of Garner's Foods, a traditional producer of pickles and chutneys, with a range that includes the UK's leading premium pickled onions and red cabbage.
A further acquisition occurred in 2003 when Colchester-based CCL Foods was
added to the Baxters Food Group. This move brought a range of premium brands
and private label products into the business, including Simply Delicious, Peppadew, Pizza Express and Mary Berry. Simply Delicious provides a leading range of organic condiments, mayonnaise and salad dressings, while the Pizza Express brand includes salad dressings, Peppadew offers mild and hot piquante pepper, and Mary Berry is a range of dressings and sauces made from natural ingredients.
The strategy of acquisitions continued in September 2004 as Canada's leading
private label soup manufacturer, Soup Experts, was brought into the group. Based in Quebec, the facility today operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Baxters Canada.
Recent developments have included the launch of a new £2.5 million retail and
visitor complex in Blackford, Perthshire. The facility includes a restaurant and café for 250 covers, speciality stores for food, drink and gifts, and it was the venue for the launch of the Audrey Baxter signature range. Consisting of premium foods and wines, it is a range of local and international products as well as in-house manufactured goods that were tasted and selected by Audrey.
At present the Baxters brand has grown to encompass an extensive range of premium soups, beetroots, chutneys, condiments and preserves. As the UK's number one premium soup, its range is grouped into favourites, healthy choice, healthy helping, luxury, vegetarian, and chilled varieties, while Beetroot, which is also a UK market leader, is available in eight ranges including pickle, shredded, slices and rosebud.
Chutney recipes are created in the inhouse development kitchen, with seven varieties currently on sale, and the condiments are split into nine different sauces and jellies. Preserves, which were a founding influence in the company's growth, are still adapted from the traditional family recipe, with the reduced sugar jams and marmalades providing a healthy option for customers.
New product launches, the development of manufacturing facilities and a strategy
of acquisition alongside organic growth, has seen Baxters Food Group grow significantly over the past ten years. The family-owned business has developed from its humble beginnings as a small Scottish grocery shop with one salesman, to a group with facilities in the UK and Canada, and distributors across the globe, exporting products to North America, Australasia and Europe.
Despite the physical changes, Baxters has stayed true to its longstanding quality commitment as it continues to provide its customers with the same high standards that have seen it find success since 1868.

Irrational Games' Final (and Glorious) Farewell
The final thing they put out before their sudden shift towards....well you know. Burial At Sea Pt. 2 is exactly what you wanted and more. It combines Rapture and Columbia into one beautiful, atmospheric, story-driven, mind-blowing package that's definitely worth every penny you spent on it whether it was 3.74$ on sale or 15$ (preferably the first one). If you're a fan of BioShock, or even if you loved BioShock 1 and 2 but hated Infinite, then this is still for you. The way it wraps up the stories and the loose ends of everything in the franchise is truly something breathtaking. Also notable, is the new stealth system they implemented, although it can kind of get cheap once you find a certain mod for a certain invisibility plasmid that basically lets you take people out and walk around as if AI didn't even exist. But the stealth is still great, BioShock Infinite arguably had pretty bland gun-play, and so they replaced it with this. It fits great given the tone and atmosphere of Rapture. The environments are beautiful, the stealth is spot-on, the story is magnificent, and the ending....the ending....although not as much of a mind-blow as Infinite, the last hour of the DLC reveals so many mysteries and concludes in a way that plays with your emotions all while leaving you fully satisfied with said ending. I couldn't have imagined a better way to end Irrational's BioShock legacy (please 2K don't screw it up now that Irrational's out). It's personally the best story-driven DLC, and possibly the best DLC I've ever played in my life. Definitely makes up for the disappoint many felt with Burial At Sea Pt. 1. Buy it. Please.
