While it's difficult to pinpoint the exact moment when Emma Roberts cemented her place on our one-to-watch list, we can certainly tell you why she's there. For starters, she's a ridiculously talented actress--you definitely need to put It's Kind of a Funny Story in your Netflix queue and be sure to check out her highly-anticipated horror flick Scream 4, which hits theaters this Friday--plus she's also proven herself to be quite the stylephile. Whether she's experimenting with energetic prints and colors, constructing modern bohemian ensembles, or going for something a little more youthful and edgy, Roberts consistently demonstrates she can handle a range of looks, making her the perfect subject for today's Style Spotlight.
One of the first things that drew us to Roberts was her ability to wear bold colors and eye-catching prints in an effortlessly intriguing way. Take, for example, the cobalt blue Michael Kors Pre-Fall 11 dress she wore to the designer's F/W 11 show earlier this year (top row, right). The frock is definitely a playful choice, thanks to the energetic hue and tiny accordion pleats, but by styling it with simple black accents--specifically a Michael Kors belt, Lauren Merkin clutch, and Brian Atwood heels--she keeps the look from feeling too sweet. But her knack for creating spirited-yet-refined ensembles doesn't stop there! A few months earlier at the Boutiques.com launch party in New York (far right), Roberts turned up in Zac Posen's Ocelot Print Blouse ($990) and Bondage Jersey Skinny Pants ($975, 877.551.7257), accessorized with chunky Chloe peep-toe pumps. The sober, sleek pants balance out the femininity of her whimsical, romantic top, and the result is a lovely downtown-lady look.
While we know Roberts is fond of lively colors and prints, she also appreciates bohemian-inspired pieces as well, like of-the-moment maxi dresses. Whether it's on the red carpet or at a fashion event, it's clear our style subject knows how to work a floor-grazing silhouette. Case in point: the stunning light blue pleated dress from Topshop she wore to the British Independent Film Awards in London late last year (bottom row, left). Roberts accessorized her look with an oversized flower necklace and blush-pink croc clutch, both by Miu Miu, resulting in a smart high-low mix. Of course she doesn't reserve this silhouette for red-carpet occasions alone. Just last week, at a TEXTILE Elizabeth and James party at the Beverly Hills Hotel (top row, middle), we came across Roberts in Isabel Lu's Pleated Floral Maxi Dress ($276, available at the end of May). This time, she styled her maxi with a thin vintage leather belt and TEXTILE Elizabeth and James' Sid Denim Jacket ($295), which give the frock some understated cool.
As we mentioned earlier, Roberts can handle a slew of looks, so we're not surprised to see her wardrobe extends beyond cheery color palettes and ethereal frocks. We've also spotted the actress sporting edgier outfits on a few different occasions, and the resulting ensembles were equally noteworthy. For example, at a Golden Globes pre-party back in January (bottom row, center), Roberts showed up in a killer black-on-black ensemble with some tough-girl elements--specifically, a Firetrap leather jacket and silver body chain--that made her outfit really stand out. A few days later, at the Sundance premiere of Homework--her latest indie project, which is expected to release sometime this year--she went for another all-noir outfit (bottom row, right), only this time she added visual intrigue via McGinn's Ivy Striped Jacket ($193, 800.695.8000). And finally, at the 2011 People's Choice Awards in Los Angeles earlier this year (top row, left), we found the blondish beauty in Christian Dior's Tahiti Bustier Dress ($6800, 800.929.DIOR) paired with Brian Atwood's Maniac Pumps ($580). Her polished, slicked-back hair and gold patent leather heels elevate the frock's simple silhouette, making it the perfect party ensemble.
So what's truly the best part about Roberts' repertoire of ensembles? It's easy to replicate! Just pick up a few of our suggested items and you'll be channeling the actress in no time! If you love a wild print or bold color just as much as our style subject does, please don't miss Goldie Oriental's Print Cropped Big Pocket Sheer Shirt ($88)--just be sure to style it with a pair of trousers like Acne's Sensational Pants ($270) to keep your outfit looking sophisticated--and Coast's Ciara Dress with One Shoulder ($242), which is a spot-on alternative to Roberts' Michael Kors dress. To further achieve that winning look, we suggest adding ASOS' Metal Keeper Patent Super Skinny Waist Belt ($11), Topshop's Gracey Black Patent Asymmetric Cut Out Sandals ($130), and a pair of opaque tights.
If you'd rather try a maxi dress instead, don't miss Bird by Juicy Couture's Stormy Print Long Dress ($378) or Staple's Printed Layered Racer Back Maxi Dress ($179). Headed out to a fancy evening fete? Keep your look simple and accessorize either maxi option with IMoshion's Ruth Clutch ($65). Going to a music festival or afternoon BBQ? Cinch the waist with Cheap Monday's Fay Belt ($30) and throw on J. Crew's Nolita Denim Jacket ($98).
We also found some pieces that emulate Roberts' edgier outfits. A leather jacket is a wardrobe must-have, so if you don't already own one, Topshop's Black Cropped PU Biker Jacket ($110) and Sparkle and Fade's Faux Leather Hooded Bomber ($98) are both incredibly affordable options you must check out. On an accessories note, we recommend trying a body chain, like Cornelia Webb's Knotted Body Chain ($100) or LuvAj's The Black Magic Bodychain ($132); they're very cool alternatives to a necklace. And last, but certainly not least, if you're in the market for something similar to her party-perfect Christian Dior pick, be sure to snag Rare's Chiffon Bandeau Dress ($110) or ASOS' Folded Origami One Shoulder Dress ($72) today!--Jessica Baker

Where is Articles of Style based?
As of Fall 2013 we're now bi-coastal! NYC & LA.
How did Articles of Style start?
As a clothing-obsessed college basketball player, I became the go-to resource for my teammate's fashion-related questions. As a response, I started a simple blog to share my opinion on men's style (the original site can still be found at www.mensstyleblog.blogspot.com
Later that year (2009) I was selected as Esquire magazine's "Best Dressed Real Man in America", and readership on Articles of Style began to grow.
Today we are a team of four stylish young men producing original content and pushing the boundaries of menswear publishing online, for an audience of hundreds of thousands of men all over the world.
Our brand is constantly evolving, but our goal remains the same: create practical and inspiring content for real guys.
How many people read Articles of Style?
Articles of Style.com generates an average of roughly 1 Million pageviews/month from 100K-120K unique monthly visitors from all over the world (190+ countries represented monthly).
90% of our readers are men aged 17-50 who appreciate style.
The real beauty of our readership is its engagement. We receive hundreds of emails and comments from our readers every day, which provides us with instant feedback and allows us to create content that is based on user demand. We truly appreciate our readers and are always striving to make the site more resourceful.
How does Articles of Style make money?
The site is monetized through a handful of different revenue streams. The most notable being banner advertising, affiliate link commissions, sponsored content, and product collaborations.
Does the team have other jobs?
The team and I have all been able to leverage our following with Articles of Style into other synergistic career opportunities. For example, Towni and Wes both work with the leading custom clothier in NYC Michael Andrews Bespoke, Alex is regularly hired for freelance fashion photography, and I manage my personal men's style consulting business (styling, writing, speaking, creative direction, some designing, etc).
What's Articles of Style's policy on working with brands?
We're extremely selective about the brands we work with and only partner with companies that are a natural fit for Articles of Style. We decline 95% of the offers that come to our inbox, simply because we only showcase products that we genuinely believe in. If we wouldn't buy it and wear it outside of Articles of Style, then we don't feature it. It's that simple.
In my opinion, authenticity is of upmost importance. Our motto is to "keep it real" with our readers, no matter the cost (and believe me, we turn down some good $).
I found something on the site that i love, where can I buy it?
The brand of each item being worn in the post is listed under the last photo.
If it's not linked to a product for sale, there's a good chance that it's no longer available. This is always a challenge for us since we profile real guys in their actual wardrobes (items are often several years old, or vintage, one-of-a-kind, etc). That said, most of the time it's not about what item your wearing, but how you're wearing it!
I have a great article that I think would be a good fit for Articles of Style. Can I submit it?
Thank you for your interest, but at this time we're not accepting outside contributions.
I'm interested in advertising on Articles of Style, who should I contact?
Please email firstname.lastname@example.com to receive the Articles of Style Media Guide outlining opportunities and rates.
What's the best part of running a menswear blog full-time?
1) Being able to do something you love. I started this as a hobby to do in my free time, so it rarely feels like "work".
2) Not having a boss, and having a great team. The freedom and flexibility (creatively & with time/location) as well as the camaraderie are the biggest perks.
3) Genuinely inspiring others. Whether it's to dress better, start their own creative project, or genuinely chase their dreams. Anything is possible!
What are the biggest challenges as a full-time blogger?
1) Balancing lifestyle with lifestyle blogging.
2) Monetizing without selling out.
3) Not getting complacent.
Any advice for up-and-coming bloggers?
First and foremost, it's very important to understand that this is a career as a writer. Your ability to tell compelling stories will determine your ability to draw-in regular readers.
Find your niche and don't be afraid to make it very specific. Figure out your angle – what makes your point of view different or unique? Why you?
Only produce content that you are absolutely passionate about. Write about subjects that you research all day in your free time and you that naturally come back to.
Always create original content. Avoid re-cycling the work of others or writing about topics that have already been covered by other publications.
Keep the quality of photography as high as possible, and the quantity of photography as low as possible. One great shot is much more intriguing than three mediocre ones.
Keep it honest and don't sell out. If a brand wants to send you something for a story, say 'No Thanks' unless it's a product that you would genuinely buy and use.
Can you check out my blog and give me some advice?
I wish I could, but I simply don't have time to consult for other bloggers. If you see me at the bar, buy me a beer and we can chat.
I'm interested in a career in menswear, where should I start?
We get this one almost every day…
A "career in fashion" is a very broad term. Do some research and figure out more specifically what you want to do, and what you might be good at. For example, a job as a buyer's assistant (entering orders, tracking inventory, crunching sales data) requires a much different skill set than a job as an designer's assistant (drawing flats, altering patterns, overseeing sample manufacturing).
After you've narrowed it down, consider studying your area of interest, or interning for someone that you can learn from.
Also, I have to say this: don't confuse the enjoyment of dressing in nice clothes with wanting to work in fashion. Careers in the industry are never as glamourous as they sound, and you can dress fly in any profession.
May I use your photographs on my site?
Of course! Please just make sure to credit and link back to Articles of Style.com as all of our images are copyrighted.
Can I intern for Articles of Style?
I am absolutely floored and flattered by how many resumes we receive from guys who want to intern at Articles of Style.
At this time we are not hiring, although we are expanding fast and this may change. If it does, we will make an announcement via Twitter and/or Instagram. So keep following :)

Outlining Process
Outlining then becomes a must: it is not written as a series of abbreviated case briefs. Rather, an outline is a compilation of definitions, rules, case blurbs and other important information that functions as your private roadmap for the class. In fact, you can think of an outline as a comprehensive road map that tells you about the important sites, warns you about the dangers ahead, gives you choices on where to proceed, and hopefully leads you to your final destination - a good grade. This outline need not be an outline at all - you can use a flowchart or any other method to visualize the course content. But primarily you need to realize several things before you begin your outline:
A recent graduate gave me some suggestions regarding what an outline is not:
- An outline is not a mere summation of the semester's class. One thing that students tend to think they need to do is to condense everything the professor said during the semester in the same order that the professor presented the information. This is an outline of the class - not an outline of the course!
- An outline should not be focused on the facts of the cases! Although the facts of a given case will help you remember how to apply the law, do not structure your outline on cases. Instead, you should structure your outline based on concepts, causes of actions, and elements of those causes of actions. In other words, use those cases to illustrate those concepts, causes of actions, and elements - not as headlines! In fact, in most courses (remember to check with each professor), you can do very well on an exam without even mentioning the names of cases. Just remember, on law school exams, your focus is to apply the synthesized rules to a new set of facts.
- An outline is not something that you want to be finishing a day (or 2, or 3) before the exam! Too many students spend so much time perfecting their outline that they forget to leave time to actually study from their outline. Part of studying for an exam is memorization, and you need time to do that.
- Moreover, from a format standpoint, an outline does not have to be perfect. You don't need to use roman numerals - you can use bullet points if you want, or something else. The goal is to come up with a flexible system to organize information that will allow you to reposition information if necessary.
- Finally, you do not need to use full sentences when making an outline. In fact, try to avoid a "cluttered" look. Instead of repeating all the facts in a case, pick out a few keywords/phrases that help you remember that case. (this is very true for the visual person - too many words are overwhelming).
So what is an outline? It is a compilation of definitions, rules, case blurbs and other important information that functions as your private roadmap for the class. Moreover, a good outline is unique to you and reflective of how you study - visual, short & sweet, perfectly organized outline? It's up to you. Therefore, there is no magic outline out there - you just need something to visualize the course content. Moreover, you need something that will assist you in learning the material. So, this outline can't be hard to follow for you. So use flowcharts, ABC outlines, charts - let it work for you. This outline is, in essence, the law of a course, according to professor X.
Your first step: need to make sure that you have a clear vision of what the course is about. To quote a cliché, you need to first find the forest - then move on to decide about the individual trees. Therefore, wait until you finish a particular section in the course or until you are not confused about the information. In the interim, use that time to understand what the rules, exceptions, and policies are, how to apply different facts to these rules. Read treatises, ask questions, and look over other outlines if necessary. Sooner or later, you will begin to "get it." At that point, start outlining.
Moreover, you need to make sure that the ideas about the law are the most significant. So, your basic goals of outlining are concept oriented so that in the end you know what the big ten or so issues were in the class. Equally importantly, you need to decide what the relationships are between the various concepts because the exam won't be single issue questions - but ones that mixed the various issues together. To accomplish both, you will need to synthesize cases and hypos by taking a step back to look at the similarities and distinctions, as well as the unique aspects regarding the rules.
- While you will need to adjust your outline to the course and professor's teaching methods, all your outlines should include the following.
- Division of topics into major headings
- Under each heading section, divide into the various rules of law
- Under each rule of law: define your terms
- List the elements in the rules, explaining what each means
- Give examples with specific case summaries & hypos to illustrate the elements and rules
- List the exceptions and limitations to rules - add cases as illustration
- Note policy considerations
- Note the remedy (if covered)
- Note the relationships b/tween concepts
- Decide your strategy to resolving issues involving this rule: when will this show up on the exam? what other rules are related?
Step one of this getting the big picture - should be relatively easy step except for those who really like details - this might be the hardest step. So, look for a beginning. Refer to your syllabus - and if it isn't very helpful, look at the table of contents in your casebook to get an idea of the big picture. Look at commercial outline - like Emanual, Gilberts, Roadmap with established outlines. Your goal is to establish the overall structure of the outline. You can fill in the details afterwards.
Or, ask yourself: What set of problems are presented by the cases in this section? How were the problems resolved in the cases? What do the case notes add to your understanding of this section? What buzzwords were used in this section - and what does the professor say they are? These questions set the stage. They help you put the topic in context and see the big picture. Sometimes it is obvious - intentional vs. negligent torts, with a subsequent breakdown of battery & assault, trespass, etc.
This initial stage also includes knowing characteristics shared by a number of concepts. Again, looking at intentional torts - it's knowing what makes an intentional tort just that. Similarly, it's knowing that all crimes have mens reas & actus reas.
But you are probably not finished. Some concepts don't share common concepts - or have additional ones. So, you will also then need to ask yourself what else defines those concepts: What makes murder 1 equal murder 1 under MPC? What about the highest degree under common law? The same goes for the rest of your classes. Therefore, knowing that there is a wide range of rules is not the same as knowing what each case represents. Now that you have the basic divisions, you need to know what to do with them - or, what are the rules - and how do I recognize them? You need to decide this because you need to know more than just a quick definition - you need to know how to recognize the rule of law or issue in a future exam problem.
So, you need to be about to figure out what characteristics the rule has. This requires synthesis. So what is synthesis? It is the process of harmonizing cases from your casebook so that you can develop a systematic set of rules, definitions, exceptions and limitations. Remember, the subsequent cases that you read will typically be redefining, adding, or clarifying the rule. Thus, you will need to combine the holdings in a way that provides overall clarity to the issue. Your task, then, is to take the holdings you have found in each individual case and combine it with other cases to make the necessary connections and combinations of the elements that make up the rule. In other words, you are providing the boundaries of the rules for that area or topic of law.
To clarify before we go to how to come up with rules, let's first define what I mean. A rule, in this context, is an abstract or general statement of what the law permits or requires of classes of persons in classes of circumstances. Rules don't just apply to one person at one point of time: unlike court holdings (or judgments or orders) that decide based only on the facts before the court, a ruling operates as a generality.
In contrast, in a case, the court examines a mini-story to decide how the rules will apply in this instance. Thus, as you review and discuss these cases (generally from appellate courts), ask yourself how they fit within the general holding. In law school, the issue is further confused because the students often don't (initially) understand what the rule is. So the dilemma occurs: how can a student first decide what a rule is based only on the application of that rule to one set of facts in any particular case. That is where the problem begins.
Thus part of the student's goal is to first decide the rule based on the total number of cases in the casebook. Only by reading all the examples (for that is really what a case is - an example of the application of that rule to that set of facts) can a student work backwards and decide what the rule is, and how each case may add/limit the parameters of the rule's application.
Before you list them, you will need to take the intermediate step of synthesizing cases into rules. It's important to synthesize groups of related cases by deciding why a case was related to the rest of those cases in a section, and how it added to the overall establishment of the rules. This process of synthesizing is the groundwork for outlining because unless you are able to see relationships between related cases in a subject, you will not be about to make the next jump to how that series of cases fit within the entire framework of the course. To do this you will need to:
- Gather all the cases you have read on a particular issue: find those related cases
- Divide the cases into elements: ask yourself what part of the rule this case addresses
- If two or more cases illustrate the same element, divide the case by results
- Determine the reasons for the results: similarity/distinction of facts or different application of the rule
Let's look at another way to explain synthesis and rule-making. First, you need to go back to the first few cases in a section and decide what the rule is. Once you have more than one case on a legal topic (e.g. in a section in your casebook), ask yourself: what is the inherited rule or rule from the prior cases. Make sure you look at what the court says about the established rule. Now look at that explanation of the rule that typically happens before the court applies the rule to the facts. This information provides the most basic new information on the rule. Then look at the current case, and look at the relevant facts. Think about the new information regarding the rule and how the court applies the law to the facts in this new case. The court might change the rule, add an exception, or give us new information about what the rule means or how it is to be applied. It is this application of law to facts that leads you to the holding, and ultimately to the new reformulated rule. Implicit with this process may be the court's decision to limit or expand the application of the inherited rule. Make sure you also note how and if the court did not apply the rule to determine if there are any new limitations to the rule.
An example of this process could be the following. In a contracts case, the initial rule might be something like: "an effective offer must include all the essential terms of the proposed contract." In a subsequent case you read, you get the additional facts that a plaintiff's communication did not include a price and the parties had no prior course of dealing or other standard that would help to determine the price. The court's rule was that there could not be an effective offer. This tells you that price is an essential term of a valid contract. Further, because of the material facts also stated that there were no past dealings or accepted standards, you can determine that price must be:
- expressly stated, or
- discernible from
a. past dealings, or
b. some accepted standard
This then becomes your new rule - but all it really does is to give you more information regarding the necessary elements of a contract.
In essence, then, the beginning couple of steps are vital to a successful outline. Unlike case briefs, which focus on the holding under a set of facts - application or rules to those facts, outlines focus on an ordered system of all the rules in an area of law. Therefore your strategy is to best decide how the rules of law are related - which follow which. In other words, you need to decide how, during an exam, you need to examine the various rules.
While you are working with these basic rules, don't forget to expand basic rules to include the elements. Make sure you always note when the elements are OR, AND. Note limitations and expansion with "BUT IF, THEN...." Highlight, use arrows, make some sort of signs to show the interrelated nature of the elements. If you don't divide rules properly and with attention to the detail that is needed you will end up not giving the necessary depth to your exam question. Remember, outlining is not just about transcribing your notes or even condensing them: it is organizing in such a way to effectively help you study for and answer exam questions.
Now, you get to the third step, inserting cases and hypotheticals. Once you have the rules and elements, demonstrate how each is applied through hypos and cases. These will give you the touchstones regarding what these rules and elements mean. You only need a brief summary of cases to demonstrate how that case is applied to that element or rule. To do that, make sure to include the relevant facts to aid in an explanation. In addition, and equally important, you need to make sure that the divided rules only list hypos/cases regarding that specific element, limitation, expansion. Now, I do have one caveat to this suggestion: if the professor in a particular case wants cases in your exam discussion, add all necessary information.
Similarly, add the hypotheticals that professor discussed. The point of a hypothetical is to help you "see" where the element/rule is expanded or limited or otherwise in the "gray" zone. But more importantly, it tells you how the professor thinks. Does she tend to look at policy issues? Are the questions more philosophical in nature? Do the questions tend to push the envelope regarding what facts make sense to help you focus on when and where the rules are applied? So while adding these hypotheticals to your outline, also ask yourself how the professor uses these problems.
Finally, in the last step, add reasons/explanation and policy. Note how you would argue for/against the use of the rule. Add applicable policy if this professor discusses it. You might notice that some professors have different approaches regarding different parts of the substantive area. For example, the more philosophical and theoretical the discussions tend to be, the more policy you will probably see. Trust yourself to adjust to those sorts of changes and make a note of it: if a professor likes philosophical questions, perhaps he might expect policy as part of the answer on an exam. This section may include:
- Analysis of whether a law or particular application of law is fair under the listed factors
- Can note history of law
- Can note whom the law was to protect
- Can note impact of law of society
- Generally need to look at class notes for policy
In addition, some substantive courses emphasize case names, Restatement sections or statutory sections or rules. You need to make sure that you have included them in the outline. For example, in Civil Procedure, you will undoubtedly need to know the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure that apply to the section you are covering. Civil Procedure also emphasizes some "black letter" cases which represent certain rules. Similarly, you may note that Torts and Contracts refer at times to Restatement sections. On the other hand, Torts does not seem to have any lead cases. You need to be cautious, however, and take your cues from your professor. If he or she likes cases added in the analysis - you need to include them in your outline. Again, add what the professor emphasizes.
It is also important to go back and "connect the dots" - noting when new topics relate to past subject matter. Find relationships among terms. Make sure that when you are constructing an outline, you stop to think about the relationship between and among terms. Ask yourself: What is the relationship between duty and breach? Should duty come before causation? Why? Unless you know how each piece of your legal puzzle is connected, your outline will not bring you maximum results. Think about where each piece of the puzzle goes and how and why it belongs here and not there.
Outlines are all well and fine - but some people don't like them that much. Happily, outlines don't have to always look the same. Flowchart, charts, visual boxes, and lines to separate the important from the less significant can also be used to help you picture the law.
Finally you need to create an exam strategy. After your outline, after you figured out what the law is, you need to take yet another step and figure out how to apply it. So by flowchart, outline, series of questions, whatever, you need to figure out how to answer a question on the exam. Therefore, in exam strategy, the focus is on the questions needed to be answered before you can decide how to solve the issue. Obviously you can't do this section until you really know and understand the law. So work through outline first; add exam strategy as you learn and understand each part of the subject.
Turning to open book examination, this type of test is somewhat of a different animal than closed book. Often there are statutory codes that realistically can't be memorized. Other times, the professor is of the belief that if you create it, you can bring it. Don't be misled, however, into having the biggest outline in the world for your open book examination. Rather, you need a workable outline and some additional notes. For example, you need to have a great table of contents that organizes the material for you. Use tabs to indicate where the information on a particular statutory section is covered. And most of all, you need to know the material and where to find it. You can't waste time looking through your outline to help you figure out an answer. In other words, if you can't effectively organize - you are better off studying as if it were closed.
Once the outline is up to date, test how well your outline works as a study tool. Review the outline with your notes to make sure it all makes sense. If you have any parts missing or something does not make sense, ask your study group, the professor, or other students for help. You may even need a commercial outline to make certain portions clear. You will also need to test yourself with hypotheticals from your professor's lectures, old examination questions, or ones that you create. If you analyze the problem using your outline and exam strategy, this suggests that your outline is a useful device to help you on your examination. If not, you need to rework the portions that don't help you. Again, these potential holes in your outline suggest you might want to get some further assistance from students and professors.
In the end, you want an outline that helps you learn, understand, and use the course material in a way that will help you perform well on your examination. Questions? See Professor Herleth for help!

Hi all. I've just finished coding up my first proper website and having tested it on all the browsers you can install on a windows PC I was hoping that things would go painlessly. Not so...
When I borrowed my friends ipad and looked the page took an absolute age to load. And sometimes it wouldn't load at all. After checking other websites etc I'm sure it's not the connection. I have some Javascript I had never used before, could this be causing the problem? Sometimes it looks like it's taking a long time loading the FB, google and twitter buttons. Do they cause problems on iphones and ipads?
Unfortunately my problem is made worse because I can't easily get my hands on an ianything as I don't own one myself and all the emulators/simulators I've found don't appear to be 100% authentic. So it'd even be useful if someone could tell me if they have problems too.
Can anyone help me out?
the site's at www.traditionalirishgifts.com
I'd appreciate it

Here's some guidance for you:
72F degrees is the highest I've heard - but that's hot. I know we like ours at 60-65.
Regarding outdoor stuff: temperature isn't the only factor to consider. One thing you need to control heavily in a datacenter environment is humidity. Outside air is probably more humid than your servers would like. Thing is, a dehumidifier runs with a compressor and condenses the air, just like an air conditioner. The thing about recirculated air is that you basically create a heat cycle (think thermodynamics). If you've ever been in a datacenter, you'll notice they have hot and cold aisles. Basically, what happens is they send chilled air through a cabinet and then collect the same air at the back, send it through the ceiling and rechill it in the process. If you bring outside air in, you're adding a lot of complexity to the cycle.
All that being said, I am by no means a data center infrastrucute expert. So if someone else tells you something I said was wrong, there's a good chance it is.

Have you ever seen a confused customer accidentally step into the wrong restroom or unintentionally exit through the emergency door? Chances are your restaurant signs aren't as clear as they should be. Restaurant signs help customers and employees stick to a few simple rules that keep your establishment clean and your patrons in the right place. "Staff Only," "Employees Must Wash Hands," "Exit," and "No Smoking," signs are small, inexpensive additions to any eatery that will clear up confusion, while working to direct traffic and restrict entry. Find the right restaurant signs and easily avoid future confusion.

The last time director Lee Daniels and cinematographer Andrew Dunn, BSC teamed up was on the film Precious, which earned six ACADEMY AWARD® nominations, including one for best picture. "That film was special, and it meant a lot to people," recalls Dunn. "It changed some lives."
The duo's latest collaboration is the extraordinary story of Cecil Gaines, who served eight presidents as the head butler of the White House from 1952 to 1986. The film begins in the cotton fields of Gaines' youth and reaches a climax when Gaines returns to the White House at age 92 to meet an African-American president. Forest Whitaker plays the title role.
"The epic nature of this story intrigued me," says Dunn. "I knew Lee would give it a very distinct and special twist."
For a story that unfolds over 85 years, with many flashbacks and flash-forwards, Dunn and Daniels considered differentiating time periods using photographic techniques. But they decided against overt, self-conscious cues, and instead allowed the production design to subtly indicate the various eras. For instance, the scenes at the White House, which were filmed at Second Line Stages in New Orleans, were more formally shot and lit.
"The actors have a different look naturally, because of their costumes, the locations, and what they're doing," says Dunn. "The camerawork is in tune with that. So in a way, the story as we shot it drove the look."
The filmmakers chose to frame Lee Daniels' The Butler in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio, maximizing the negative in 3-perf format. Dunn says that there was no question that film was the right choice for this story.
"Lee came to the project with a great heart and soul," notes Dunn. "I fed off of that. I could feel what he wanted, and I knew that the texture and feeling of film was essential to telling this story. And because of the historical nature of the material, we didn't even question it. 3-perf is also a good format because you get a lot of negative for your buck."
Diffusion filters were another variable Dunn used to draw in audiences. "For our storytelling purpose, we want to make the audience feel part of it, like a voyeur, without becoming self-conscious and noticing that we're doing it," says Dunn. "If they notice then they withdraw. It's a fine line. We're telling a story as seen through the human eye, which is full of flares and defects. I try to make the camera lens deal with those human aspects.
That's the thinking behind the filtration, and film also helps with that. With digital formats, the trick is somehow giving it that human aspect, whereas film has a natural sensuality about it."
Dunn used a range of stocks, including KODAK VISION3 50D Color Negative Film 5203. "That stock is fabulous," he says. "I had used it a couple of years ago on Crazy, Stupid, Love in the hard, high-contrast light of Los Angeles. Talk about high definition! Digital isn't high definition — it's just higher def than the last high def. But that 50 ASA stock is actually high definition, in the detail and texture, holding highlights and what hides deep in the shadows. It's a really beautiful stock. I'd love to shoot a whole movie on it."
Dunn says the project was a great opportunity for a cinematographer, partly because of the wide range of situations and eras, from Dwight Eisenhower sending troops to the south to a less-than-sober Richard Nixon, played by John Cusack, scheming to evade Watergate in the dark shadows of the White House at night.
Dunn describes his lighting style as intuitive. He notes that Gaines is often somewhat forgotten at the periphery of the room as powerful world leaders are focused on the decisions of the day. A delicate balance had to be struck to depict Gaines' unobtrusive presence, even as the story is about him, and his unique perspective on the history of the 20th century.
"These people generally ignore him," says Dunn. "In a way, he doesn't exist. But he is a witness to world events like the Cuban Missile Crisis, and Johnson and the civil rights era. One of our references was The Remains of the Day (1993, shot by Tony Pierce-Roberts, BSC). Anthony Hopkins' character, the butler, was present, but as far as the others were concerned, he wasn't really there. We composed in a more formal, careful way, and that kept us on the straight and narrow stylistically."
Dunn also studied films like Mississippi Burning (1988, OSCAR®-winning cinematography by Peter Biziou, BSC) and still photography from the era of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Black Panthers. Lee Daniels' The Butler also makes extensive use of library and stock footage.
"The television is like a Greek chorus throughout the film," says Dunn. "The years of the presidents we didn't film as characters — Presidents Ford and Carter for example — are seen 90% on television. We also matched in some characters to this library footage. Gaines' son gets involved quite heavily in the civil rights movement, for example. One sequence begins with old footage that we then meshed with footage of our own, and it's seamless. We shot [KODAK VISION3 250D Color Negative Film] 5207 and manipulated it in the DI to match, muting the colors.
"Making that work can be pretty tricky," he says. "Part of it is having a very good editor like we did with Joe Klotz. There is some slight-of-hand camerawork, panning across to find the character. With good operators, you give them the feeling and idea, and let them use their skills and talent. The dailies timer in New Orleans read the script, and understood the texture and tone we were after. The great thing about what we do is the teamwork and collaboration of all these people joined together in pursuit of the same goal."
Dunn says it was a great privilege to be involved on Lee Daniels' The Butler. "As cinematographers, we learn all these skills and tools, but basically we are storytellers," he says. "In a way, it's like telling a child a story at bedtime. We all want to be told tales and our perception of the story changes with each telling, depending on our mood. I've been a cinematographer for a long time, and I think that's what it comes down to at its most essential."

text: I worked from 7:30 am yesterday to 3:30 am this morning on a 10gb network upgrade. (the upgrade portion was from 7 PM to 3:30 AM - after my regular work day). I had to replace the switch on the back of my blade chassis and configure it. I did that and had my config verified by HP. Then I was waiting on the network guy here and he never got the trunking right...eventually I stopped him and reverted back to our 1gb switches. So I am not thrilled to be at work today, so I am cranking some Raconteurs and guzzling black coffee.....I think I am running at 10gb!!!!!!!!!!

Hello forum members!
First post here.
I am quite sure there are great members with years of knowledge that will laugh about my questions, but I didn't find anything about it. Because I have started with PHP just a few months ago, and I will develop probably for really long time, I have decided to be part of this community.
Now, about the question itself.
Note: Forum member, you probably can answer the question without reading the methodology.
Client in Java request an operation to a LAMP server.
The really sort version of the methodology: users connect to the webpage 'A', which determines which IP's are blocked, with operations can be done for every specific user, and then, if there are sockets available (ports that can be open,etc..) the user receives the port to proceed (and in the server side it is opened a socket there), in case no ports can be opened (or maybe because we don't want) I thought as alternative method, the user receives a second url (webpage 'B') to proceed with the same operations as in the socket, but thru the tcp80, and meanwhile in the socket is a normal "speech" workflow (user->socket, socket->user, user->socket,...) with the alternative method I need send new parameters to the webpage B (user->B and B answers by echo (the server stores the info exchanges in db until it receives the next step of the process from user,...).
I thought sockets were faster (no headers like HTTP GET...), but I am really surprised that it isn't. So, I have been fighting against sockets for 1 week, to understand that the alternative method is in fact the best method.
I have done some benchmarks with different types of operations from users, and as average:
All tests are done in localhost.
test A:
5 users. Every 4 seconds a different user request an operation type 1.
Time in finish the operation (since user request til server finishes the operation)
Sockets: 8 s. (and some sockets are blocked, TIME_WAIT states,... but this is maybe because of the localhost)
Webpage: 1.6 s.
Now with operation type 2.
Sockets: 4 s.
Webpage: 0.9 s.
test B:
5 users. All users request at the same time an operation type 1.
Sockets: 11 s.
Webpage: 4.5 s.
Now with operation type 2.
Sockets: 7 s.
Webpage: 3 s.
Now, the question: Why? Why I thought that sockets would be better?. Looking to the results, why I should consider in the future to try with sockets if it is so slow? What do you recommend me?

Interested in new Marc by Marc Jacobs products?
Native New Yorker Marc Jacobs began his design career in 1981 when he attended Parsons School of Design. On the evening that Marc Jacobs was showing his senior collection and receiving some of the school's highest honors, a fashion executive in the audience took immediate notice. The conversation that followed led to the creation of a partnership based on two very simple concepts: a love for fashion and a commitment to quality.
Two years later, Marc Jacobs ventured out and designed his first clothing collection bearing the Marc Jacobs label. In 1995, he launched his first full collection of men's ready-to-wear clothing. 2000 saw the launch of the first Marc Jacobs handbag collection.
In 2001, Marc Jacobs and his business partner, Robert Duffy, introduced their secondary collection, Marc by Marc Jacobs. It was established on the basis of providing a collection of comparatively affordable, edgy, and retro-inspired mass-market pieces. Since then, the collection has continued to grow exponentially to include Marc by Marc Jacobs shoes, Marc by Marc Jacobs handbags, Marc by Marc Jacobs jewelry, Marc by Marc Jacobs eyewear, Marc by Marc Jacobs hair accessories, and Marc by Marc Jacobs watches.
Each season, the Marc by Marc Jacobs collections are created with the aim of providing quality shoes, handbags, accessories, eyewear and watches with high fashion designs incorporating the signature quirkiness and unique sense of style that Marc by Marc Jacobs has come to be known for.

I bought this classic Q Hillier Hobo in Raspberry. I love the style and it is very easy to carry. The color is beautiful. I wear a lot of black skirts and pants and I use my bag as color. I also have the same bag in yellow which I also love. Bags and shoes are my thing. If you want this bag, buy it. Our life is not a dress rehearsal, this is it. If you can, buy and enjoy! The leather is beautiful.

I love this bag! The leather is wonderful. I have the larger one in Chambray which is also beautiful. Whenever I use this bag I always get compliments on it. The color is great and goes with a lot of things. I've never owned a Marc I didn't love!

I couldn't make up my mind about ordering this bag. I was going back and forth between a Frye bag and this MBMJ. I decided this bag would be more timeless and work through all seasons. So cute. The straps are kind of awkward at first. I think once the bag gets a bit broken in they will lie more seamlessly. The leather is so lovely and soft. Not crazy about the gold hardware as I prefer silver but it's really a beautiful bag. I got the Fudge color which is this rich dark brown. A really beautiful bag and the perfect size for lugging around a bunch of stuff all day!

Best bag I've ever bought! It's expensive, I'll admit it, but it's so worth it! I debated about this bag for a year before I got it and I wish I would have got it sooner. So slouchy and comfortable to hold (if that makes sense). The leather is durable and feels great - I'm rough with my bags so if it's survived 4 months its a good bag. I've gotten it soaked in the rain and it's held up beautifully. I highly recommend this one. I've already decided once I'm done with this one I'll be sure to get another one from the same brand! Well worth the money in my opinion!

I'm obsessed! All of my MBMJ are Hilliers. The sale price can't be beat! Zappos cornered the market with this free next day shipping thing. I'll never leave! The customer service is flawless. You can call 24hrs/day because you can order 24hrs/day! Simple concept. Love you Zappos. TTys!

LINCOLN – It was all Lincoln High all the time on Monday night at the Lions' Den.
Lincoln seized control midway through the first half and never looked back in an eventual 56-41 triumph over Shea in the Division II opener for both schools. The Lions closed the opening half on a game-turning 20-4 run that saw Kent Crooks' team go from down 12-7 to up 27-16 at recess.
PAWTUCKET — As program director Jim Gillen knows firsthand, it can be very difficult for someone trying to recover from drug or alcohol abuse to find new ways to live, work and socialize. The new Anchor Recovery Community Center in downtown Pawtucket aims to provide some much-needed ballast to those who feel like they are struggling with sobriety.
PAWTUCKET – Jim Hoyt, the CEO of the Pawtucket Boys & Girls Club, has a vision of taking the two existing preseason boys' basketball tournaments in the city – the James W. Donaldson Memorial Tournament and the Dennis M. Lynch Memorial Tournament – and combining the tradition each one represents. The end result would be an all-inclusive tournament that would serve as the perfect wet-your-whistle appetizer for league play.
PROVIDENCE – Since the Big East expanded to 16 teams in 2005, taking home Player of the Week kudos has been an honor normally doled out to All-American candidates/NBA prospects. With that in mind, it's not every day a Providence College player is bestowed with the conference's top weekly award.
Monday saw the Big East lavish Player of the Week praise upon PC senior Marshon Brooks. The swingman averaged 31.3 points and 8.7 rebounds in three games last week, leading the Friars to a 2-1 mark.

High school football and basketball seasons tend to blend together these days. Super Bowl games are contested in early December while basketball teams practice without a few key players, waiting for point guards and forwards to put down the pigskin and pick up the roundball.
When Woonsocket and St. Raphael Academy met in the Dennis M. Lynch Memorial Tournament championship game on Saturday night, several football players from each school were trying to shake off the rust and get into the flow of their winter sport.
CENTRAL FALLS — Minutes before the Central Falls Fire Department's Engine 2 arrived in front of the Holy Spirit Parish at approximately 9:30 a.m., Saturday — with Fire Chief Rene R. Coutu's American flag-draped casket laying on the hose bed — State Rep. Elizabeth "Betty" Crowley stood on the church steps, explaining exactly what he meant to her.
