Instant Expert: Secrets & Features of iPhone OS 3.1 for iPhone + iPod touch
Yesterday Apple released the iPhone OS 3.1 update for iPhone and iPod touch devices. This release builds on the new features added in the major 3.0 update in June by adding a few small refinements and compatibility with iTunes 9, which was also released yesterday.
The iPhone 3.1 update lists a number of new features, including Genius support for the App Store, iTunes 9 support, the ability to use the Voice Control feature over Bluetooth on the iPhone 3GS, non-destructive video trimming, accessibility improvements and more.
Oddly, the iPod touch update has a version number of 3.1.1. The iPod touch update supports all of the same enhancements with the obvious exception of those related to iPhone-specific features such as Voice Control.
As with most iPhone OS updates, an entire new firmware package is downloaded and applied to the iPhone. Expect the update to weigh in at 200-300MB depending upon your specific model of iPhone. The update itself should simply install as an update without erasing any existing data or settings, but as always it's best to ensure that you have a current backup of your iPhone or iPod touch prior to starting. iTunes should handle this for you automatically, but you can always check the status of your iPhone backups by visiting the Devices page in your iTunes preferences.
So exactly what is new in the iPhone OS 3.1 update? As always, we've dug a bit deeper than the release notes. Read on for the details…
Voice Control over Bluetooth (iPhone 3GS only)
The iPhone 3GS introduced the Voice Control feature to the iPhone family, but one glaring omission with the initial release was that the Voice Control feature didn't work over a Bluetooth headset, making the handsfree dialling aspect less than useful for most iPhone users.
Although in our opinion this feature should have been included in the iPhone 3GS from the beginning, the OS 3.1 update delivers this and now allows Voice Control to be triggered from most Bluetooth headset/handsfree accessories. This feature works pretty much as you would expect: Hold down the call button on most Bluetooth headsets to trigger the Voice Control and then simply speak your Voice Control command after the tone. As with answering incoming calls, the iPhone defaults to routing the audio based on the device that was used to initiate the call; by default any calls initiated from the Bluetooth headset will use the Bluetooth headset and calls initiated directly on the iPhone will be routed through the normal iPhone earpiece.
Further, while all Voice Control commands are available it should be noted that the standard Bluetooth profile limitations apply: If you're asking the iPhone to play a track from your iPod library, for example, it will still not play through the Bluetooth headset unless you're using an A2DP-compatible Stereo Bluetooth headset. Regardless, this can still be a very useful way to control music playback in your car, where the iPhone's normal audio output would presumably be connected to your car stereo system.
Non-destructive Video Trimming
While the iPhone 3GS provided the ability to trim videos that you had captured on the iPhone, this trimming process would overwrite the original iPhone video, resulting in any trimmed pieces being lost. In iPhone OS 3.1, when trimming a video you are now presented with an option to either overwrite the original video or save it as a new clip.
Saving the trimmed video as a copy will simply save it to the Camera Roll on your device. Note that this feature also works for videos you save from other sources (see below), and therefore can be used on other iPhone models and the iPod touch.
Save Videos from Other Sources
iPhone-compatible videos received from other sources such as MMS and e-mail can now be saved to the Camera Roll. Once in the camera roll, these videos can be trimmed like any others. Simply tap-and-hold on a video attachment to bring up the "Save Video" option.
This feature is not limited to the iPhone 3GS - any iPhone or iPod touch model can save and view iPhone-compatible videos, although oddly the ability to actually re-send any saved videos out via e-mail or MMS, or upload them to MobileMe or YouTube is still only available on the 3GS.
Note that by "iPhone-compatible" we're essentially referring to any video that could otherwise be synced to your device as a video file from iTunes, meaning basically videos in the H.264 format. The iPhone won't perform any conversion from other video formats—if you can't play it, you can't save it.
This feature also appears to be limited to videos that you've received through e-mail or MMS—the save option does not appear for videos accessed via Safari, regardless of the video format. In fact, in our tests the same videos that could easily be saved from the Mail application could only be viewed when accessed through a web page in Safari.
Videos in Photo Albums
With iTunes 9, iPhone OS 3.1 now provides the ability for videos stored in iPhoto or a photo folder on your computer to be synced to the photo albums on your iPhone. These videos will appear in the photo album in much the same way as they do in the camera roll and can be viewed on your device in the same manner. Note that unlike videos in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos sections, videos synced from iTunes into albums cannot be trimmed on the device itself, although on the iPhone 3GS you can share these videos via e-mail or MMS or by uploading them to MobileMe or YouTube. Automatic trimming will occur as necessary when sharing videos.
As with the ability to save videos from e-mail and MMS messages, this feature is available on all iPhone and iPod touch models, although iTunes 9 is required to sync the videos themselves. Likewise, only iPhone-compatible videos can be synced to your device from iTunes, which means for most users that these will likely be limited to those videos that were originally shot on the iPhone to begin with.
Tethering Usage Tracking (iPhone only)
Those iPhone users who were fortunate enough to be on a carrier where tethering was supported may have noticed a glaring omission in the iPhone OS 3.0 release: In many cases tethering usage was not tracked in the normal data usage category, but rather only usage of data on the device itself. This could have resulted in a nasty surprise for those on limited data plans.
With iPhone OS 3.1, the "Usage" section now tracks tethering usage separately from normal iPhone data usage. This will be particularly useful for those carriers which charge for tethering data separately.
Persistent Now Playing Queue
Traditionally, if you had a playlist in progress and connected your iPod to your computer to sync with iTunes, your "Now Playing" queue was cleared out. This "feature" dates back to the earliest click wheel iPod models, and was carried over to the iPhone and iPod touch. While it was difficult to see how this was of any benefit to most iPod users, it was one of these things that we all just accepted as normal.
iPhone OS 3.1 now finally changed this. In short, the "Now Playing" queue will remain in place, including where you left off in the current track, even after you sync with iTunes. The only time the "Now Playing" queue is cleared is if you either fully power off or reboot the iPhone or if you simply finish playing the content in the queue.
Support for Genius Mixes
iPhone OS 3.1 also adds support for the new "Genius Mixes" feature in iTunes 9. Genius Mixes can be synchronized from iTunes to your iPhone or iPod touch and will appear in a separate section in the iPod application for Genius Mixes:
Remote Lock via MobileMe
THe "Find my iPhone" feature introduced in iPhone OS 3.0 now also provides the ability to remote lock the iPhone in addition to displaying a message and/or wiping its content. As with the other "Find my iPhone" features, this requires a MobileMe subscription and that the "Find My iPhone" feature has been enabled on the device itself.
The feature is accessed from the MobileMe "Find My iPhone" settings.
You will be prompted to enter and confirm a new password for your device.
Once you have done this, a lock request is sent over-the-air and the device is immediately locked with the passcode. This feature works regardless of whether you had previously configured your device to lock with a passcode or not. An e-mail confirmation is sent to your MobileMe account once the device is successfully locked.
Although the device will be locked immediately with the new passcode, it is not possible to change the other security options such as access to voice control or the setting to automatically erase all data after 10 failed passcode attempts. These two settings will simply be left as they were previously configured.
Despite the name, this feature also works with the iPod touch. However, since the iPod touch can only communicate with the MobileMe servers when it is actually connected to a Wi-Fi network, the usefulness of this feature is considerably more limited on the iPod touch.
Safari Fraud Warnings
Safari now supports an "anti-phishing" filter to identify fraudulent web sites. We had received several reports that had indicated that the iPhone 3.0 betas included this feature, but for some reason it was dropped before the final iPhone OS 3.0 release. However, it has returned in the iPhone OS 3.1 update.
This feature is enabled by default when updating to iPhone OS 3.1, but can be turned off under your Safari settings in the Settings app.
When enabled, Safari will warn you when visiting a suspect web site. Information on phishing web sites is pulled from a blacklist maintained by Google through the Google Safe Browsing API.
Note that this feature doesn't do any analysis of the site itself, rather it simply looks up the URLs in a blacklist maintain by Google. Since this feature is only as useful as the accuracy of Google's phishing blacklists, it should not be assumed that just because a site doesn't trigger the anti-phishing filter that it is a valid site.
Accessibility Changes (iPhone 3GS and third-generation iPod touch only)
For iPhone 3GS owners, the iPhone OS 3.1 update now adds a couple of enhancements to the accessibility features on the device: A triple-click of the home button can now be used to toggle accessibility features such as VoiceOver or White on Black on or off.
Also, VoiceOver now includes a "practice mode" where you can practice VoiceOver gestures on the iPhone itself, with the option to speak the function of each gesture as you practice.
App Store Genius Recommendations
The App Store on the iPhone and iPod touch now include the ability to recommend other applications to you based on those that you have already purchased and installed on your device. This "Genius" feature is accessible from a third tab on the main application listing screen in the App Store:
As with activating Genius in iTunes, you will need to agree to Apple's terms and conditions and specifically opt-in to use this feature.
Once you have enabled the App Store Genius feature, the "Genius" tab will show a list of applications that you may be interested in based on the apps you currently have installed on your device. App may be purchased directly from this screen, or you can swipe to remove any applications from the list that you are not interested in.
Purchase Ringtones from the iTunes Store (iPhone only)
Ringtones can now be purchased directly from the iTunes Store on your device. Instead of the previous implementation of allowing users to select a portion of any eligible music track and create a ringtone, Apple has now built a library of customized ringtones for direct download for $1.29 per ringtone.
Purchasing ringtones works in much the same way as any other content from the iTunes Store on the device. Ringtones can be previewed or purchased directly, and purchased ringtones automatically appear in the Ringtones section of the iPhone and sync back to iTunes during the next sync.
Note that you can only purchase ringtones from the iTunes Store on iPhone devices. The "Ringtones" option will not appear in the iTunes Store on the iPod touch as this device does not support ringtones.
While the $1.29 fee coupled with the on-device purchasing might appeal to some for the convenience factor, we find it hard to get excited about paying $1.29 to purchase a small clip of an existing song for use as a ringtone when there are numerous alternatives available for creating your own ringtones from your existing music and syncing them from iTunes. The idea of purchasing ringtones seems even more absurd when you consider that the entire iTunes catalog is now DRM-free and many entire songs can be purchased for the same price or less per track.
Redeem Gift Cards
The iPhone OS 3.1 lists the ability to redeem gift cards in the iTunes Store and the App Store as a new feature of iPhone OS 3.1. In reality, however, this appears to be a back-end upgrade that appeared sometime after the iPhone OS 3.0 release but has actually be available now for several weeks. The "Redeem" option can be found by scrolling down to the bottom of the main music or apps listings:
Paste Phone Numbers (iPhone only)
You can now paste text or a phone number into the Phone application. This is done simply by tapping and holding on the phone number entry area at the top of the screen.
If pasting text, the iPhone will convert that text into its numeric-keypad equivalent.
Caller ID Name Display (iPhone only)
The 3.1 update now finally brings support for Caller ID with Name Display. If your cellular provider supports this feature and you are subscribed to it, the caller's name will be shown instead of the number, when available, for incoming calls that do not match your iPhone address book.
Note that some cellular carriers provide this feature automatically with their caller ID service, while others provide it as an additional feature that you must subscribe to separately. If you do not have the name display feature on your account, or the caller ID does not provide the name information along with the number, then just the number will be shown as in previous iPhone OS versions.
iTunes 9 Compatibility
The iPhone OS 3.1 update also provides compatibility with some of the major new features in iTunes 9, also released yesterday. Specifically, features such as syncing videos to your photo albums and re-arranging your home screen application layout from iTunes require the iPhone OS 3.1 update.
Note that iTunes 9 will continue to work with older iPhone firmware versions, with unavailable features simply being hidden in the same manner as they are for other iPod models.
Thus far, the iPhone OS 3.1 update appears no different in terms of performance or stability as compared to the 3.0 update on our test devices. The release notes indicate that some issues related to Exchange calendars and invitations and Wi-Fi performance when using Bluetooth have been improved, but these are not issues that we had encountered previously, and we therefore can't comment on whether these issues have truly been resolved or not.
Update or wait?
The iPhone OS 3.1 update provides some very useful new features, particularly in conjunction with iTunes 9. iPhone 3GS users and users of any iPhone or iPod touch with a lot of applications will find a lot to like here, with the abiliy to reorganize applications alone being worth the update.

I can no longer use VoiceControl while plugged into my Alpine iDA x100 stereo in my vehicle. It goes to the VoiceControl screen, but says "no songs playing" when I give it a command. This is a huge bug to me, I almost solely used VoiceControl while driving.
When I don't have it plugged into my head unit, it works perfectly with my SurfaceSound Compact. I just wish I could get it working when plugged in.
Can anyone with an Alpine head unit confirm this problem?

How do you get that Genius screen? I created a genius playlist on my iPhone, but I don't have a dedicated Genius tab, and I don't get that "cover" that you show in the article. Do you have to sync back to iTunes?

The "Genius Mixes" feature has to first be enabled in iTunes and then at least one of the actual automatically-created "Genius Mixes" has to be synced to the iPhone or iPod touch.

The internet tethering option disappeared when I upgraded to 3.1. I was using it on AT&T
Posted by Jamie in Toronto on September 14, 2009 at 9:01 PM (CDT)
Agreed with #8. No ARCP makes Bluetooth Stereo headsets almost pointless.
Another undocumented feature is how the iPhone no longer follows the song order in Smart Playlists set within iTunes. Google this, and you'll find it on the forums here, the Apple site, and elsewhere.
And that "Better iPhone 3G Wi-Fi performance when Bluetooth is turned on?" Apple cheated by putting Wi-Fi in a "standby" mode when on a call via a Bluetooth device.
Posted by Herr Doktor in Toronto on September 17, 2009 at 2:13 PM (CDT)
#16: The iPhone OS 3.1 update likely included a new carrier settings file for AT&T which turned tethering back OFF. I'm not certain if the old workarounds for enabling tethering on AT&T will still work in iPhone OS 3.1, as I've heard reports that carrier settings files now have to be digitally signed before they will be accepted by the iPhone.
#8 & #17: AVRCP is technically in there, but its support seems to be very limited, and we haven't done enough testing with different accessories as of yet to be able to determine whether there's really been *any* improvement at all in this regard. Some Bluetooth A2DP/AVRCP accessories *do* work, at least in terms of being able to provide basic play/pause functionality, but the whole thing still remains very confusing and inconsistent from what we've observed.

Before I upgraded to 3.1, I could use voice control to select artists, playlists, or turn shuffle on/off. Now anytime I use a voice control to choose an artist or playlist, "she" says she will play the song but it just continues whatever was playing before.
I can only confirm this happens with the apple plug-in earphones, I do not have a Bluetooth. This only happens when connected to my car stereo, it works fine when un-docked or connected to AC power.
Apple people, PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP! Before, I could safely control the iPod functions while driving with voice control. Now (thanks to OS 3.1) have to look down at my iPhone to switch playlists. If I crash my car doing this I will talk with a lawyer. I'm kidding… but seriously, fix it. This is a SAFETY ISSUE.
I hear I can't even go back to the 3.0 version on my 3GS. Any one know if this happens with Bluetooth devices? Any one have a work around?

So much of the Bruins' battle plan for the playoffs is based on at least one of the other few Eastern Conference powers — Philadelphia, Washington, Pittsburgh — suffering an early upset.
In that light, Boston had to like the news that came up from Flyers country.
Veteran defenseman Chris Pronger, out since March 8 with a broken hand, has suffered a setback in his attempt to return for the regular season and now won't be playing again until the playoffs. Like Bruins head coach Claude Julien trying to downplay the significance of Zdeno Chara's health issues after Boston's loss to Toronto Thursday, Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren sounded like he was whistling past the graveyard when discussing the comeback plan for his star blueliner.
Via the Courier Post:
"It was a long shot anyway that he could play before the end of the regular season. It's not like he hasn't been in a playoff game before. It's more about making sure he has the strength and mobility he needs."
It's all well and good to have confidence Pronger will be right once the postseason starts. And the Flyers have played pretty well without him. But we all know that a month off is a significant amount of time to miss in an NHL season, and returning for the first time when the intensity is turned up to 11 in the playoffs can be a tough task. It's difficult enough to simulate game speed in practices; it's impossible to get up to playoff speed without just jumping into the fire.
On the off chance the Flyers start the playoffs without Pronger, they could be cooked — at least in that they might not be able to take care of their first-round opponent with as much ease as they would with him patrolling their back end. A rusty Pronger could also be a hindrance.
Any help the Bruins get from outside forces to smooth their road to the Stanley Cup final is welcome. Pronger's problems definitely fall into that category.

Tottenham star Gareth Bale delighted with form after two goals against Lyon
Tottenham Hotspur star Gareth Bale has told Sky Sports that he is playing the best football of his career.
By Graeme Bailey - Tweet me: @graemebailey
Last Updated: 15/02/13 10:48am
The Welsh wizard has made a remarkable start to the New Year and has not only scored in his last five games for club and country but he has also hit Spurs' last six goals over four matches after two more against Lyon.
He again stole the show on Thursday as he helped Spurs to a 2-1 win over the French giants at White Hart Lane in the Europa League, scoring two free-kicks.
Bale has now hit 17 goals for the campaign, easily the best total of his career and he admits he has never played better.
"I would probably say it is the best I have been playing in my career," he told Sky Sports.
"As I said I am enjoying my football and the team is playing well which makes things easier for me.
"I just have to keep my head down and keep working hard and keep my form.
"I still have a lot of improvement, I know what I have to do but season on season I am improving but I will just keep working hard and hopefully get better."

2014 DuPont Industrial Biosciences Award in Applied and Environmental Microbiology
The winner of the 2014 DuPont Industrial Biosciences Award in Applied and Environmental Microbiology is Douglas G. Capone, Ph.D., University of Southern California, Los Angeles, for his outstanding accomplishments as a marine microbiologist. "His contributions to our understanding of the factors controlling biological nitrogen fixation in the oceans have strongly influenced numerous researchers and the development of important ideas in biogeochemistry and biological oceanography," says Bess Ward, Princeton University.
After receiving his Ph.D. in Oceanography from the University of Miami, he joined the faculty of Stony Brook University where he remained until 1987. From 1987 to 1999, he was at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Studies. Since 1999, he has held the Wrigley Chair of Environmental Biology at USC and in 2007 became Chair of the Department of Biological Sciences. A fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology, Capone is currently an editor for mBio and Aquatic Microbial Ecology. He has published over 180 peer-reviewed articles.
His research focuses on the importance of marine microbes in major biogeochemical cycles, particularly those of nitrogen and carbon, with particular reference to physical, chemical, and biotic controls on key microbial processes. He is a leading expert on the marine N cycle and has produced two highly regarded edited volumes on the topic. Capone has studied diverse ecosystems at remote field stations and on over 30 oceanographic expeditions. He has also made a major contribution to the development of human resources in oceanography and environmental science by mentoring students of all levels.

Thoughts about November often involve images of falling leaves, family meals over turkey, and crisp autumn weather. However, if you're a car enthusiast November also marks the first North American auto show of the season in Los Angeles, California. Here are our five favorite new cars from the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show to rip us all out of our tryptophan-induced lulls.
The Jaguar XF is such a pretty car, and it drives well, too. But our favorite recent Jaguar is the drives-like-a-bat-of-hell XKR-S…until now. Take one part XFR, one part XKR-S, and a bucket of French Racing Blue paint and, voilà! Enter the XFR-S, a sultry British sport sedan packing 550 hp from its aurally delicious 5.0-liter supercharged V-8. Aesthetic improvements border between restrained (the front fascia) and boy-racer (the huge, carbon-fiber rear wing). Pricing starts just a hair under six figures at $99,875, but act quickly – Jaguar is bringing just 100 copies to the U.S. market next year.
We love the 2013 Porsche Boxster; in fact, we love it so much we named in our 2013 Design of the Year. It stands to reason that we're also going to love the 2013 Porsche Cayman, which is essentially a coupe version of the Boxster. The same two flat-six engine options from the droptop appear in the Cayman: either a 274-hp 2.7-liter in the Cayman or a 325-hp 3.4-liter in the Cayman S; both available with a six-speed manual or seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission. With a 0-to-60-mph time of just 4.4 seconds for the Cayman S, we can't wait for the even hotter Cayman R when that appears down the road.
3. Mercedes-Benz ENER-G-FORCE Concept
It can be hard to remake a legend without ruining it. Mercedes' last attempt to replace the venerable G-Class (the GL) was met with such animosity, the automaker decided to let the box-on-wheels SUV soldier on. Now we have a glimpse at the future of the G, and it looks awesome. While much of the design and technology of the ENER-G-FORCE is pure fantasy, the concept car gives us confidence that when Mercedes-Benz finally does give the 33-year-old G-Class a makeover, it won't mess things up. The ENER-G-FORCE has He-Man-like looks that are all too familiar: the overall profile design is almost identical to the current G, the front fascia harks back to the original design with a dark grille surround, and the taillights are a clear evolution of the Galendewagen theme.
4. 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible
When we think of Los Angeles, we think of sunny skies, beautiful weather, and convertibles. Volkswagen must be thinking along the same lines, unveiling the all-new Beetle Convertible in the last week of November. The new ragtop Bug adheres to the same formula as the coupe (2.5-liter, 2.0-liter turbo, and 2.0-liter turbo-diesel engines; six-speed stick, auto, or DSG transmissions), but it's the three special editions that caught our eye at this year's L.A. show.
To celebrate the Beetle Convertible's launch, VW has churned out 50s-, 60s-, and 70s-edition cars, each with its own unique paint, trim, and wheels. Most fetching is the 50s Edition Beetle Convertible, with its black pearl paint, beige leather sport seats, and chrome dog-dish hubcaps. A close second is the rich brown 70s Edition car – done up in a delicious toffee brown hue. The 50s- and 70s-edition models both come with the 2.5-liter and six-speed auto. Extroverts will be more inclined toward the 60s Edition Beetle Convertible: bright denim blue over two-tone blue leather seats powered by the mighty 2.0T and DSG.
5. 2013 Audi A6, A7, A8, and Q5 TDI
Although we may be in the minority of U.S. buyers, we love diesels. Audi understands us and is helping the cause: in addition to the Q7 TDI crossover it already offers, the German automaker introduced not one, not two, but four new oil-burning models for our market. Buyers looking for frugal-yet-fun powertrains will now be able to opt for a 3.0-liter TDI V-6 engine making 240 hp and a massive 406 lb-ft of torque under the hoods of the A6, A7, A8, and Q5. Audi expects stellar fuel economy numbers from all of its TDI models, estimating that the big A8 will achieve around 24/36 mpg city/highway; the current Q7 TDI is rated at 19/28. The four new Audi diesels will go on sale next fall.

A 24-year veteran of the Milford School District has been selected by his colleagues to be the 2013 School Counselor of the Year.
A 24-year veteran of the Milford School District has been selected by his colleagues to be the 2013 School Counselor of the Year.
Jay Lingo, the counselor at Lulu M. Ross Elementary School, has received the honor within his district and is eligible for nomination of State Counselor of the Year. Lingo is one of 10 counselors within the district.
According to Lingo's colleagues, he is more than qualified for this honor.
"[Lingo] is probably one of the nicest, most caring people that I have ever met, and he certainly goes above and beyond expectations, and he does it without complaining," said Cindy McKenzie, principal of Ross Elementary School.
According to the Ross Elementary School website, Lingo provides guidance for students, including lessons in coping skills, friendship, bullying, respect, responsibility, social skills and manners, among other things. He also provides materials to parents on a variety of topics, including death, divorce, peer relations and depression.
Lingo teaches expressive arts classes, is the advisor to the National Elementary Honor Society, coordinator for the Bank at School program and the Food Backpack program, and plays a large role in the school's mentoring program.
Lingo was the State Counselor of the Year in 2003 and received this same honor, MSD School Counselor of the Year, in 2011.
Q Why did you want to become an elementary school counselor?
A Both of my parents were in the teaching profession, so I kind of followed in their footsteps; but I also wanted to see if I could reach kids on a broader level, so my job is very proactive. I teach five classes per day so I can work with all the students in the school.
Q What's your favorite part about your job?
A Every day is different. I enjoy interacting with the students and the staff and it's very rewarding because, I know this may sound cliché but, you can make a difference in a child's life when they're struggling with something.
Q You were selected for this honor by your colleagues. How does that make you feel?
A It's very humbling, and it's great to know I'm respected because, as someone who has three children in the school district, I know how capable all the other counselors are. They're all great.
Q What sets the Milford School District apart from others?
A Personally, the administration has always been very supportive. To have an elementary school counselor for this many years shows they support counseling at this level, and not all districts have that.

I was recently watching Bruce almighty and during the infamous Monkey-Butt scene (I try to be a serious journalist,) I was struck with the cold slap of sartorial envy.
Just in case you still needed some more t-shirts…
Remember Graniph? If you don't (and you're too lazy to click the link) it was a t-shirt site which also hosted a competition to find new designers. The winners were split into one gold prize, ten silver prizes and nineteen bronze ones with Cho Jo Tzu taking the gold with her 'Peace Love Rabbit Foot' design.
Office Wear Chic In The Independent
Reading through The Independent Online last night, I came across this article by Alice-Azania Jarvis on the art of dressing for work. As she states, "the thing about getting dressed for work – the thing that makes it so very difficult – is that work is definitely not about clothes. On the contrary: in the world of earnest employment, such frivolities are almost frowned upon."
WISHLIST: Blend Swimshorts from Juju Brighton
I am going back to Mumbai mid-August and top of my WISHLIST are a pair of swimshorts. I would attempt trunks but don't share David Gandy's body (unfortunately) and want to be able to spend this summer without holding the stomach in and clenching the buttocks.
First Day Fetish… Luke Worrall's Heels
The Farlex Free Dictionary decrees that Monday is "the second day of the week, and the first day of the working week." That latter part means that for most of us, it is a ridiculously depressing day of hellish tasks and grumpy peers.
So why not add a dash of excitement with these pictures from the August 2008 issue of Dazed & Confused. From the title editorial, itself entitled 'Dark Magic,' I present to you Luke Worrall in high heels and other pieces of woman's clothing.
Brandish gallery: David Beckham, Mark Ronson and George Clooney show you how to wear a white shirt with style
It's a staple of every man's wardrobe (or at least it should be), but who wears the classic white shirt with the most style?
H&M to push the boundaries of their menswear collection
H&M have decided to put a little more elbow grease into their menswear line, focusing on a sort of premium range that will be at thirty stores worldwide. Although no mention is made of COS in the article, it's likely that the success of their upscale big brother has led them to the conclusion that men will gladly pay more for higher quality.
Top Five (okay, 4): Shiny Media's Embarrassing Fashion Moments
After my latest embarrassing fashion incident, I asked different Shinies"What Is The Most Outrageous Thing You've Ever Done In The Name of Fashion?" The answers were varied but pretty hilarious all-round.
A.P.C founder blogs
Despite being a regular visitor to Honeyee.com, I only just noticed their blog the other day. They've roped in several noted names, such as Kaws, Visvim's Hiroki Nakamura, Carri Munden and, bizarrely, John Mayer. These are all great, but the most interesting blog has to be that of A.P.C's Jean Touitou.
A Bit of Fun: 80sTees.com
As part of Google Mail, you are constantly bombarded with adverts for whatever your e-mails are about. For me, that is largely fashion and therefore, I receive links to sites such as 80sTees.com. This online store proved to be pretty good; I wasted about half and hour going through the memorabilia.
Mr Mills: The Sunday Times Style Magazine's New Menswear Columnist
The Sunday Times Style Magazine has, for me, always been a source of great fashion advice but on Sunday, it was the magazine's new menswear columnist David Mills who I had my eye on.
Playboy's Rock the Rabbit campaign
(L-R: Hot Chip, Iggy Pop, The Little Ones)
I can't say I've ever thought of looking at Playboy for clothing, but this Rock the Rabbit campaign is slowly changing my mind. In their second year they've roped established musicians like Iggy Pop, Daft Punk and Duran Duran amongst relative up and comers like Hot Chip and Tokyo Police Club.
YSL Men S/S 09: A Different Kind of Preview…
For this season, the genius designer Stefano Pilati has decided to preview the label's menswear collection in the form of an incredibly arty mini-film called 'Figures Entwining.' With a couple of androgynous male and female models, Pilati shows a main male (fully clothed in YSL goodness) being showered by this mass of bodies.
Lad Musician coming to Blackbird
This is big. Bigger than finding out Liz Jones didn't like Glastonbury (Shock Horror! A woman who calls cats 'fur babies' doesn't like a muddy festival). I'm typing this so hard, I'm about to break my 3 year old Toshiba laptop. Lad Musician. Are. Coming. To. Blackbird. Read that sentence one more time and take it all in. I know, I can't believe it either.
Love The Look: Richard Chai No. 8
This new feature highlights the looks we love. Whether it be charity-shop mannequins or fashion week-shots, we will tell you which outfits are rocking our fashion-obsessed worlds. The first of post of this feature looks at Richard Chai's collection and the one look that I would literally kill for. (Okay, maybe not kill but beat up that glossy male model for sure.)
Sale pick – Material Boy double breasted jacket
Given Material Boy's Topman Lens collection, you'd assume that every boutique would be snapping at his clothing. It's an understatement to say that this hasn't been the case. One of the only places to buy Material Boy is Bespoke Boutique and as luck would have it, they're having their summer sale. The pick of the bunch is this double breasted jersey jacket.
Sale alert – Dries Van Noten sheer shirt
Sheer shirts have been on the catwalk for a while now and still haven't been taken up by many men. The reason for this is obvious – not many men want to wear any kind of see through fabric. The plus side of sheer is that it can transform ubiquitous pieces into daring ones instantly. Like this Dries Van Noten shirt.
Sale pick: J. Lindeberg jeans
Now that the sales are in full swing, it's time to start picking out the true bargains. House of Fraser is usually too chav-tastic for me, but these J. Lindeberg jeans are a steal at £50. The simple design and dark wash make this a wardrobe staple instead of a regretful sales purchase, so you won't have to worry about whether you'll still like it in six months.
Matches Sale: Paul Smith
In case you've been too lazy to scroll down the page, this is the second post of Matches sale items, this time focusing on Paul Smith.

On Valentine's Day, feds think STDs
Report warns of surging 'super-gonorrhea' as well as millions of other infections
Wonder how to dampen any lovers' enthusiasm on Valentine's Day?
Talk about sexually transmitted diseases.
That, at least, is the perspective of the federal Centers for Disease Control, which announced just in time for Feb. 14 worries about a new "super-gonorrhea" as well as millions of new cases of STDs that are costing taxpayers billions of dollars.
And by the way, the feds are hinting strongly that children should be inoculated against human papillomavirus, which is sexually transmitted, even though the drug has been known to cause death.
Cheery thoughts, huh?
The CDC said there are 20 million new STDs diagnosed each year in the United States, infections that cost an estimated $16 billion.
HPV tops the list, and the Washington watchdog organization Judicial Watch noted the recommendation that children be vaccinated, despite the dangers.
"The administration took the opportunity to promote a controversial HPV vaccine (Gardasil) in the report, though it didn't specifically name the medication," Judicial Watch said in its analysis today. "Everyone is at risk for the potential outcomes of HPV, the CDC warns in its new study, adding that 'HPV vaccines are routinely recommended for 11 or 12 year old boys and girls' to protect against cancer.'
"The report continues: 'CDC recommends that all teen girls and women through age 26 get vaccinated, as well as all teen boys and men through age 21 (and through age 26 for gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men). HPV vaccines are most effective if they are provided before an individual ever has sex,'" JW said.
"It that's not a plug for Gardasil, what is?" questioned Judicial Watch.
But the organization notes its own research, which has uncovered dozens of deaths and many more cases of serious health problems following use of the drug.
It reported earlier that between Sept. 1, 2010, and Sept. 15, 2011, there were 26 deaths reported from adverse reactions, as well as "seizures, paralysis, blindness, pancreatitis, speech problems, short term memory loss and Guillain-Barre Syndome.
For example, one healthy 14-year-old was vaccinated with Gardasil, then developed numbness and tingling in extremities, fatigue, urinary tract infections, ovarian cyst, and seizures.
"The patient had had upwards of 150 seizures following her third shot in June 2008. During her seizures she stopped breathing for periods of 30 to 40 seconds," the report said.
She died.
The watchdog group also noted the failure on the part of existing efforts to attack STDs.
The report from CDC says "the numbers have increased steadily in the last few years … In 1996 there were 15 million new incidents of STDs in the U.S. and in 2000 there were 18.9 million. The figures started to skyrocket in 2008, according to CDC figures," Judicial Watch said.
"Happy Valentine's Day from Uncle Sam!" the report said. "An 'ongoing and severe epidemic' of sexually transmitted diseases has pounded the United States with 20 million new cases a year that stick it to the nation's health care system with an astounding $16 billion in medical costs."
The federal report said half of the 20 million new infections are reported in people between 15 and 24, and other top infections include Chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B, HIV and trichomoniasis.
CDC epidemiologist Catherine Lindsay told NBC the infections "take a big health and economic toll on men and women in the United States."
It was in an ABC report that details about the superbug were discussed.
It cites the CDC's confirmation Neisseria gonorrhoeae now is morphing into strains that are resistant to most antibiotics.
The feds now call it "multidrug-resistant gonorrhea," and the report confirms the antibiotics now used against the infection are becoming less effective.
"The continued threat of multidrug-resistant gonorrhea makes protecting against [it] more important than before," epidemiologist Lindsey Satterwhite told ABC.
Her advice, "Wear a condom correctly, think about abstinence, practice monogamy, and get appropriate screening if you're high risk."
The federal report should be considered a wakeup call, Satterwhite said.
"People need to remember that all [STDs} are preventable, treatable, and many curable."

Earning cash not a priority for new Foursquare rival
Upstart startup touts trendy nights-out app
Emerging from Silicon Roundabout's Old Street, complete with Instagram'ed staff photos and an iPhone app, comes Flypost, which promises to promote events and venues to those with iPhones who aren't already using Foursquare.
The idea is that Flypost will gather venue information and provide map-based searching for what's happening locally, complete with instant reviews from those already on the scene, and ahead-of-time listings for those who prefer to know where they're going before they leave the house.
What Flypost lacks is any hint of a revenue model: "Right now we're focused on UX [User Experience] and scaling rather than revenue," company founder Leon Crutchley told us. "Once we are installed by default ... on millions of handsets, we'll turn on the rev model." So no hurry there then.
Not that a lack of revenue stream has dented interest in Foursquare, which is burning though its $71m in VC cash without any sign of making any money. Foursquare boasts 15 million users, apparently all desperate to be the most-checked-in person for every location on the planet, but despite that, Foursquare's only dependable revenue stream is selling t-shirts, badges and stickers with the company logo on them. On Tuesday, Foursquare revamped its product with a focus on just the kind of local discovery Flypost is hoping to make money from.
Flypost reckons it's different 'cos it's focused on the place, not the people attending, so venues will be able to upload future happenings for inclusion in the Flypost application. That's "will be", not "can", as Flypost isn't actually allowing anyone to flypost event or venue promotions into their service just yet.
Right now all the content is scraped from Google, Yelp and the like, so when the company exalts everyone to: "Download the free app and start flyposting today!" what it means is that everyone should download the app and start commenting on other posts today, and perhaps do some flyposting tomorrow or the day afterwards.
Even to download you'll need an iPhone; Flypost can't compete with Foursquare's cross-platform support. Apparently the company is planning a Windows Phone version early next year, with Android support perhaps coming later, but everyone around Silicon Roundabout has an iPhone so that's obviously the market which matters.
So if you fancy seeing content aggregated from other location-based promotion services, into an iPhone interface so slick it's sick, then Flypost might be your bag – but always remember that electronic or not, Bill Stickers remains innocent. ®

Oops! A Phone Number on a Toy Truck Turned Out to Be a Sex Line
A Grandma gifted a Mattel Matchbox toy truck to her 3-year-old grandson because like most 3-year-old boys, he loved playing with trucks. Unbeknownst to both of them though, the phone number painted on the truck directed to a sex line.


text: Thanks so much ladies. Like I said, I doubt there is much we can do but keep trying to test when she will sleep again out and about. For now we just have to accept that she is going through a sleep time where she needs quiet and a certain setting. She is kind of all over the map right now anyway so I guess it is the 4 month thing. Usually she goes to bed around 9pm with me and I also just read if I cannot sleep yet. Last night though, she fell asleep for what I thought was a later nap at 6:30 and ended up dream feeding with me in bed until 7:30am. I was pretty shocked but I guess she was tired! Hopefully she will get more relaxed again soon or start spending more time awake/sleeping at one time and for now I will just be thankful for what she is able to give me and try to work on making plans again once she gets over this time.
