We all know the importance of professional attire when it comes to job interviews. A person's physical appearance can tell (or at least help others conclude) a lot about him or her, even about areas that aren't so physical.
For example, if a prospective job candidate walks into an interview wearing dirt-stained ripped jeans, spiked green hair, a muscle shirt with fresh milk splashes on it and flip flops, what are some conclusions the interviewer will inevitably make about him?
- unprofessional
- unclean/dirty
- has bad hygiene and/or grooming habits
- is incompetent because he doesn't know how to dress for an interview
- cannot be taken seriously
Most job seekers are aware of the certain don't's when it comes to the professional world, and how you carry yourself has a huge list of its own. Dressing inappropriately can cost a job seeker a potential job and even create a negative reputation for the person, especially if this is a regular occurrence.
Yet, I wonder, what are the affects of those "unprofessional looking" workers already in the office? And specifically, management?
One of my family members used to have a manger who fell into this category. I had the opportunity to meet this lady once, and let me tell you, she was a sight to see.
Her hair was thrown about her head every which way; it looked like she'd just stepped out of a tornado. Her shoes were too small, so her toes easily hung over the edges. Her clothes were wrinkled, and the day I met her, she had tons of lent covering her black blouse.
To be honest, she looked very unkempt and very unprofessional. And what's worse? My family member said this was how her boss appeared every day.
Now, perhaps you're thinking that this woman's appearance affects only her; I mean, she's the one walking around looking disheveled. The bad image only falls back on her, right?
Just like an interviewee's attire can negatively affect his or her chances of employment, a manager's or anyone in a position of authority's unprofessional appearance can negatively impact his or her workers. Below are just four ways:
1. Hinders First Impression
Imagine you're a new worker, it's your first day and you're headed to meet your boss. As you go into her office, your eyes are shocked at what stands before you. Your "boss" has on a too-tight, too-high skirt and a blouse small enough for a child, yet tight enough to reveal the "too much" cleavage of a grown woman. She's wearing 7-inch stilettos she can barely walk in and her panty hose have numerous runs up and down her legs (okay, maybe that's extreme, but you get my point).
Now, what would your first impression be? Something like, This is my boss? This is the manager? Now you're first impression of this woman in authority is tainted, and could ultimately affect how you view her for the duration of your job tenure—especially if this appearance is a norm.
2. Negative Company Representation
All workers represent a part of the companies they work for. This is especially true the higher you go up the food chain. Those in positions of authority are usually the face of an organization. Who wants an unprofessional, unkempt face representing their business? This could potentially discourage clients from working or partnering with your company because they may think, if its workers look unprofessional and unorganized, how can the quality of the company's products and/or services not be the same?
3. Embarrassing Team/Department Lead
Like point no.2, your manager/boss represents your team and/or department. Don't you want a professional representation? When you were a child, did your mother ever insist on driving you to school with rollers in her hair and wearing a bathrobe? That's quite embarrassing for a child, and the same is true for the employee-manager relationship. Although she didn't say it, I could tell my family member was a bit embarrassed to introduce me to her boss—the one in authority, the one who was supposed to show an organized, professional and quality side of her department, yet her appearance displayed the opposite.
4. Loss of Respect
In any interview situation where the job candidate wears unprofessional attire (especially extreme cases), the interviewer isn't going to take him or her seriously. Neither will workers when they see that they're boss constantly has an unprofessional, dirty, smelly and unkempt appearance. How a manager carries him/herself can cause employees to lose respect for the person. You show up to work every day with wrinkled, stain-filled clothes, disheveled hair and smelling like spoiled milk? No one is going to take you seriously after awhile, no matter what your job title says.

The bakers make flavoured and decorated cupcakes.
In the second baking masterclass, The Great British Baking Show judges take us through some of the signature, technical, and showstopper challenges which they set the bakers in the Dessert and Pie episodes. Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood share all their tips and tricks to ensure the perfect results at home. Mary shares her family recipe for her Tipsy Trifle, Floating Islands, and Wobbly Apricot Tart, while Paul takes us through his Custard Tarts and showstopping Spanakopita.
Ten bakers remain and this week their bread-making skills are put to the test.
The search for Britain's best amateur baker, with Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, is now halfway through. The bakers take on biscuits and these bite-sized, delicate delights prove too much for some. As always starting with the signature bake, the remaining eight must impress legendary cookery writer Mary Berry and artisan baker Paul Hollywood with their interpretation of a classic biscuit. Who will crumble when it comes to judging and whose ginger nuts are too hot to handle? Next up, the technical challenge, where following a Mary Berry recipe is not as simple as it would seem for our bakers, who start feeling the pressure when faced with brandy snaps. Finally, the toughest showstopper challenge yet as they attempt to bake and present a macaroon display that must taste as good as it looks. With five hours on the clock, every second counts. This is the last chance to impress the judges before someone's dream of becoming Britain's best amateur baker is over. Written by BBC
The search for Britain's best amateur baker, with Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, reaches the fifth round and everyone is out to avoid the dreaded soggy bottom as the seven remaining bakers face pies. The marquee is soon filled with the delicious aroma of fresh baking as the signature challenge has the bakers doing all they can to impress acclaimed master baker Paul Hollywood and legendary cookery writer and baker Mary Berry with their signature family pie. Topping their pie with either flaky or rough puff pastry, some decide to play it safe whilst others get more experimental. Next is the dreaded technical challenge where for lifelong vegetarian Jason delivering six individual, beautifully baked and seasoned pork pies to the judging table proves problematic. Finally, there is a sweet showstopper challenge in the shape of a meringue pie. The judges' expectations are high with hopes of crisp pastry bases and delicious custard and fruit fillings topped with a perfect meringue. But the ... Written by BBC
The all-lady quarter-final of The Great British Bake Off, hosted by Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins. The remaining five have to impress with their dessert skills. As usual starting with the signature bake, the exacting judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood are expecting to see and taste baked cheesecakes that reach their high expectations. Next is the technical challenge and the bete noir of most bakers, a chocolate roulade. Finally, the spectacular showstopper that requires the bakers to impress with hundreds of choux pastry profiteroles that must be perfectly baked, filled and then assembled into a croquembouche. This king of desserts is traditionally served at French weddings and Mary and Paul expect to see an impressive tower of choux pastry buns with superb flavoured fillings and held together with hardened caramel. Who will have what it takes to book a place in the semi-finals? Written by BBC
Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins host the semi-final. After seven weeks of gruelling challenges, the four remaining bakers must prove they are worth a place in the final. To begin, the signature challenge requires them to make a baked layered mousse cake, and the standards are high as Mary-Anne again attempts something different with a joconde sponge and decor paste. As usual, judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood set the tasks. This week's technical challenge is Paul's favourite sweet treat - iced fingers. Finally, for the showstopper, the bakers have to make a labour-intensive and technically demanding layered or laminated pastry dough to produce a batch of three different types of pastries or croissants. With a place in the final within their grasp, the bakers know they have to deliver their very best to the judging table every time. Written by BBC
It's the final and the three remaining contestants face their final challenge.
Paul and Mary demonstrate how to make the Technical Challenges that they had set throughout the series. Masterclass 1 showed the first 4 of the series; Coffee and walnut Battenberg, Tarte au Citron, Focaccia and Brandy Snaps.

Current research into early diagnosis
Help beat cancer sooner
Our life-saving work relies on the money you give us.
Donate now and together we can save more lives by beating cancer sooner.
Saving lives through research
From looking for cancer 'red flags' to identifying patients 'at risk', our researchers are finding ways to diagnose cancer patients early, when treatment is more likely to be successful. Below are some examples of what our researchers are doing right now.
Our current research
Identifying those at risk
Dr Beth Payne in London is focussed on myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). She's trying to better understand how a condition called CHIP (Clonal Haematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential) can lead to an increased risk of leukaemia. She hopes that this will help find ways to identify which people with CHIP are most at risk of developing cancer. This could help prioritise patients for monitoring, helping early diagnosis.
Developing a blood test
Dr Hector Keun in London is working on developing a simple blood test to detect cancer early. He is looking at blood samples from cancer patients that were taken before they were diagnosed. From these, he's hoping to spot common 'red flags' that doctors can look for, in order to detect cancer.
Finding a cancer paper trail
Dr Jem Rashbass, from Health Data Insight, is trying to find a paper trail for cancer, using prescription history. By looking through 66 million prescriptions per month he hopes to find patterns of prescriptions that may precede a cancer diagnosis. Only half of patients who go on to be diagnosed with cancer will have an obvious cancer symptom, says Rashbass. "We want to help GPs identify those patients that have cancer, to help them get diagnosed earlier."
Developing a blood 'nano–test' for cancer
Professor Kostas Kostarelos and his collaborators in Manchester are using tiny nanoparticles to help get more information from blood tests. He's using nanoparticles to help "fish out" molecular signals from growing cancer. He hopes these molecular signals could be used as early warning signs of cancer. These could one day be developed into a test and help diagnose people early.
Trialling a 'sponge-on-a-string' test
Professor Rebecca Fitzgerald in Cambridge has developed a test called 'sponge-on-a-string', or 'Cytosponge'. When coupled with a simple laboratory test it can be used to diagnose Barrett's oesophagus, a condition that can develop into oesophageal cancer. Identifying people with this condition and monitoring them over time could help doctors diagnose oesophageal cancer earlier. Professor Fitzgerald is running a trial in GP surgeries around the UK to test the sponge-on-a-string. The aim is to determine whether it is cheaper and easier than current methods used to diagnose Barrett's oesophagus.

(Pocket-lint) - Having created the Cyclaire bicycle pump, the company behind the innovative pump that sees you pulling air rather than pushing it, has moved on to bigger and better things, mainly the creation of a pump that will allow you to blow up anything else in the house.
The Cyclaire Inflator has been created for anything bigger than a bicycle tyre or football and mainly for the inflatable mattress owner or those looking to inflate the kid's beach ball this summer.
Coming in a robust box roughly the size of a shoe, the unit has a ribbed footplate to stand so you get a decent enough pull from the pump.
That pull works in a similar way to a petrol lawnmower or outboard motor and according to the makers allows you to move up to a massive 560 litres of air per minute, much more than any other manual inflator and more than most electric pumps.
In practice this means that you can blow up an inflatable double bed in no time at all (depending on your own fitness of course) and you can even use the Cyclaire Inflator to deflate stuff as well to speed up packing away.
Included in the box, are a number of different nozzles and a hose to make it suitable for a range of different devices however we would advice buying a separate bag to put them in. Cyclaire has designed space for them on the Inflator itself, however with them on show, we expect them to get lost fairly quickly.
The pump also comes with a sand filter to give you extra protection if you are pumping on the beach.
The only grumble we had was the noise.
The Cyclaire Inflator certainly gets the job done and if you are camping will enable you to pump stuff up without the need to worry about a power source for a motorised pump.
Better still at £9.99 (£8.99 without the sand filter) it's cheap too.

Become You: a non RN-IBCLC
When the Indigo Girls sing, "It took a long time to, become the thing I am to you" clearly they aren't talking about studying to become an IBCLC, but it certainly applies. As parents go through their own breastfeeding journeys some realize they want to help other people as well. They often start out in Peer-to-peer support, such a vital resource for new families, and soon begin to think about increasing their knowledge and expertise by becoming an IBCLC. Since I did not start out as an RN, nor in a peer support organization, I often have inquiries from people who are interested in chatting with me about the process. Just in the past few months, several women have contacted me to chat so I thought it was the perfect time to write about the process of becoming an IBCLC for someone who is not an RN.
There are many blogs out there describing the various pathways to certification and, as always, it's important to become completely familiar with the information provided by IBLCE. I'm going to focus on Pathway 3: Mentorship, as that is the route I took to certification. When people reach out to me for information, it is not so much for the facts and details, but rather the experience, the personal take on the journey.
The three criteria IBLCE lists are Health Sciences Education, Lactation Specific Education, and Lactation Specific Clinical Experience. Since the IBCLC exam is the last step, I will add that as the fourth component.
Health Sciences Education - You will need to determine which courses you are missing based on your own college education. Eight of the courses must be for college credit; the other six may be continuing education.
*Tip* Start gathering your transcripts early to ensure you have proof of all courses to fulfill the education requirement.
Lactation Specific Education - All IBCLC candidates, regardless of which Pathway they choose, are required to take at least 90 hours in lactation and breastfeeding education. IBLCE does not recommend specific courses, nor do they approve them in any way. It is your responsibility to be sure the course you take meets the requirements as outlined in the IBLCE Detailed Content Outline.
I'll save the steps of setting up a private practice for another post. That has its own pitfalls and triumphs!
Hopefully I've given you some insight into the process of becoming an IBCLC through Pathway 3. Get to know the Pathway 3 Plan Guide well. Know all your requirements for education, for clinicals, for having your plan approved (you have to submit it to IBLCE), and all your dates. Don't forget to keep track of all your education along the way in case you are audited. None of the steps are hidden, but you are responsible for keeping on top of all dates and requirements.
If you are thinking about becoming an IBCLC, what is your biggest concern?
Ohhhh, We've Got Trouble, My Friends, right here in River City!
...With a capital T and that rhymes with B and that stands for Bottle!
You've gotten breastfeeding off to a great start; baby is happy, healthy, and gaining well. You're feeling great about your breastfeeding relationship and that awesome milk you provide. A couple months down the road you decide to give baby and bottle, and she refuses!
For some families, bottles are essential for when the nursing parent goes back to work. For others, it may not be needed every day, but parents want to have some time to run errands, go to appointments, spend time with friends, and be able to leave baby at home. So what do you if baby won't take a bottle?
Bottles & Milk
Alternatives to Bottles
Offering the Bottle
Reverse Cycling
Some babies choose not to take a bottle. For short periods of time, they may not need to have milk. For extended time, they may choose to go without milk when away from the breast, and get all their milk in the evening and overnight. This situation may not be ideal, and may be more tiring for the nursing parent, but fortunately baby is still getting all his nutrients and is happy during the day.
Take your time
Your baby cannot be forced into taking a bottle through hunger and persuasion. You may have to work on it over time. It's ok to let baby play with the bottle and nipple in her mouth, getting used to the idea.
All of these tips are for babies refusing the bottle out of preference for feeding at the breast. If it seems your baby is struggling with a bottle for other reasons, please speak with an IBCLC or your pediatrician to rule out anatomical concerns. Some IBCLCs (including myself) do bottle consults to work with your baby and help you develop a plan for guiding your baby towards taking a bottle. Bottle refusal is yet another time you are not alone. Always reach out for help.
I've also included this information in the attached PDF for easy printing and reference.
I am thrilled to share that I am now an in-network provider with Aetna and its subsidiaries. Aetna members are eligible for up to six lactation consults, with no out-of-pocket costs.
While I am happy to be park of the insurance network, I know many of my clients, and many of you out there, are members of other insurance providers. So what does that mean for you? Can you get your lactation consult covered by insurance?
For many new parents, having access to a consult with an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) is a crucial step in continuing their breastfeeding journey. Several years ago, breastfeeding support, supplies, and counseling were added to the Affordable Care Act. This change in insurance law has made it possible for more parents to get the care they need, however, there are some bumps in the road and coverage is not always available. Understanding how lactation care and insurance intertwine can be confusing, so hopefully I can shed some light on the issues and provide not only resources for getting your consult covered, but also an inside look into the issues facing IBCLCs.
As previously mentioned, if you are unsure of the coverage extended to you, call your insurance company, and reach out to a local IBCLC for guidance. The insurance market is ever-changing. While we don't know what changes will unfold in the next few years, IBCLCs will continue to promote lactation coverage for all families to ensure equitable care for everyone.
...a very good place to start. When we sing we begin with Do Re Mi, when we breastfeed we begin with position, latch, suck.
Welcome to the Lactation Life blog! Since this is my first blog post, I thought the perfect topic to discuss is Getting off to the Right Start in Breastfeeding. If you're reading this post, you have probably already decided to breastfeed. You may be aware of the many benefits to both baby and lactating parent, and you're looking for guidance on those first hours and days after birth. Becoming a new parent can be overwhelming, and while we ultimately learn by doing, there are a few things to know going into it so that we can be more prepared.
✭Seek Help✭
You'll hear people say that breastfeeding always hurts at first and you just need to tough it out. Please do not suffer through pain! Yes, there may be some discomfort at first, however, pain is a sign of an issue. If you are having trouble latching, experiencing pain, or baby is not gaining weight, seek the help of an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). An IBCLC is specially trained to help guide you through what is normal, assess you and baby, and work with you to determine the issues and solutions.
Breastfeeding is a natural part of life, but that doesn't mean there isn't a learning curve. I often tell parents that walking is natural too, but we fall down as we learn to walk. Seek guidance and help when needed, give it time to all come together, and enjoy those quiet moments with your newborn.
Cynthia Bischoff, IBCLC, is the owner and provider at Lactation Life, offering lactation consults in Maryland.

It's off to Syracuse for a pair of Whitehall track and field athletes.
Junior Brittany St. Clair won the Section II/Division II triple jump with a mark of 37 feet, 2 ½ inches, while also qualifying for the NYSPHSAA state meet in the long jump with a second place finish (17 feet, 5 ½ inches).
Along with St. Clair, sophomore Kelsie Benjamin qualified for the state meet with a shot put mark of 38-feet, 3-inches, a second-place finish that met the state qualification standards.
"I thought that the event went good," said Benjamin. "I got a good throw in right off the bat."
Benjamin said she felt her throw would be good enough for second place.
"I didn't think that it was going to be my throw that was going to win," she said. "I was sure that I could probably get a second and qualify for states. The girl that threw right after me beat the mark, but after that I was pretty confident that I was going to make states. I wasn't sure, but I was hoping for the best."
"It felt really good to qualify for states," said St. Clair, who just missed out on qualifying in the 200-meter race, as well.
St. Clair said while she was able to qualify in the long jump, she was hoping for a more consistent result on each jump.
"The long jump was not as good as I expected," she said. "I was real inconsistent on the board. But I got a good jump in when I had to."
In the triple jump, St. Clair said the event was more consistent.
"I was right on the board the first two or three jumps," she said. "I thought that I had faulted on them because I am not used to running up so far onto the board. It took some pressure off getting the first one in without faulting."
St. Clair said she was very confident after her first jump that she would be heading to states and bringing a Section II/Div. II title back to Whitehall.
"The two that were jumping behind me had jumped against me before, and they jumped around 37-feet."
For the pair of Railroaders, the season culminates this weekend in the state championship meet, where St. Clair will participate in the jumping events on Friday.
"My goal is to just try to make it to the finals," St. Clair said. "I want to get a thirty-eight-foot jump in and get into the top ten. I would be happy with that."
Benjamin said she hoped another week of practice would allow her to continue to work on her technique.
"I am going to continue to work on my technique again and speed up my arm," she said. "I am looking forward to getting some experience at the state level. I don't think that I will do terrible out there, I think that I can be competitive, but mostly I want to go there for the experience since I have two more years left after this year to go back."

Berlin Story Bunker
This World War II bunker now survives as a documentation of the Nazi regime and war-crimes.
Built in 1943 this large bunker building was originally meant to connect to an underground supply rail while troops waited out bombardment. Constructed out of thick concrete walls, the bunker did not see much action as the war ended a scant few years later, but the building remained. Today the five floors serve as a documentation of the Nazi regime.
The first floor of the complex houses the bunker museum. This display features clippings, photos, and other ephemera from World War II era, and the many of the spare furnishings also remain giving visitors a sense of what bunker life would have been like. The second floor begins to get more gruesome with a multi-room exhibition on medicine and torture throughout the ages including displays regarding amputation, cannibalism, and animal-to-human blood transfusions. By the third floor gives up any educational pretense and simply contains a year-round haunted house with black light rooms and jump scares.
World War II history and cheap scares might be a pretty strange fit but it is one war museum where they wear their horrors on their bloody sleeve.

Build a teepee, come inside Close it tight so we can hide Over the mountain and around we go Here's my arrow and here's my bow! The rhyme above turns the somewhat difficult task of teaching a child to tie their shoes into a fun, interactive experience. The story of the teepee reminds him of what steps to take as he practices over and over. The easiest way to teach a young child, with a jump rope tied around his thigh, allows his small hands to better manipulate the movements, according to the Sacred Heart Elementary School of Kingston, Massachusetts, web site. Helping your child accomplish this task will boost his confidence.
Tie the jump rope to your child's thigh with both of the loose sides even, taking care not to tie it too tight.
Have your child pull each side of the loose rope taut and keep tension on it. Cross one side of the rope over the other side now to make an "X." The "X" makes a teepee, so you now begin the rhyme and say, "Build a teepee."
Have your child pinch the center of the "X" with one hand and loop one piece of rope over and through the bottom of the "X" with the other hand. While the string goes through the hole in the bottom, you say, "Come inside."
Have your child pull the rope tight and keep tension on it. For this step you say, "Close it tight so we can hide."
Have your child put her pointer finger over the middle of the rope and loop the left side of the rope over her finger then pinch beneath it. For this step say, "Over the mountain." Now tell your child to remove her pointer finger from the jump rope.
Have your child bring the right piece of rope all the way around the loop. For this step say, "And around we go."
Have your child push the rope back up through the one loop. For this step you say, "Here's my arrow."
Have your child pull a second loop out of that same piece of rope and pull both loops out even and tight. For this step you say, "And here's my bow."
Begin by practicing with a jump rope. The, as your child gets used to the steps, give him adult shoes to practice on. Flat shoelaces tie and hold much better than the rounded ones. Using two different colored shoelaces may make it easier for your child to keep track of what string to work with.
Tying the rope too tight around your child's leg could cause a loss of circulation. Please make sure that two fingers can fit underneath the rope.

Apologies if this is the wrong forum for this, I'm struggling to find anyone on the internet who can help with my problem:
I'm using a Traktor F1 with my DAW (Reason). I know that is not specifically what it's designed for, but I have it very close to working wonderfully. However, I have one issue that has me stumped.
I'm using the main grid of buttons as mute/unmute buttons so I can switch mixer channels on and off in Reason. I have the buttons assigned as MIDI CC signals, with it set to Toggle mode. As Reason doesn't do great at sending MIDI back to controllers, I just have the F1 itself set to show whether the button is toggled on or off with a light colour change. This all works great.
But I'd like to also use the SHIFT mode so I can make the main grid of buttons temporarily act like a set of drum pads sending regular MIDI keyboard notes. The aim is to be able to use the buttons to mute and unmute channels, bringing parts and layers in and out, then temporarily switch to drum mode and play some live percussion.
HOWEVER, I have this problem:
2020-05-28 14_07_08-Window.jpg
So basically, every time I enter shift mode, when i leave it again the sh*t hits the fan as what is muted and what is playing gets randomly shuffled.
Does anyone know why this might be happening?
Below are some pictures of how I have the MID assignments for the main buttons

and in SHIFT mode:

The dig, at Deans Farm, Bishops Cleeve, has revealed two round houses, two burial sites and a large number of animal bones.
Experts from Birmingham believe it was the site of a farming community in 500 BC which continued through Roman occupation and beyond.
The area, said to be the size of four football pitches, will eventually become a new housing estate.
Team leader Kevin Coles said: "Effectively, we've got a prehistoric settlement site, starting off from the mid Iron Age progressing through to the invasion of the Romans, 43 AD.
"We're finding a large amount of animal bones so that suggests what these people were eating.
"We've got also got dating evidence in terms of pottery."
The finds are being bagged and sent off for further analysis. Once the team has finished its investigations, Bovis Homes will begin developing the site.

Which Characters Will Die in the Beginning of Gotham Season Two?
Earlier today, TV Guide's Mega Buzz reported that the second season of Gotham will open with two major character deaths:
"One of the deaths is so sudden and unexpected, it caught us completely off-guard. The other, meanwhile, rocks an already reeling James Gordon to the core and will serve as a motivating force for him all season long."
The description is vague, but it gives us a few clues as to which character is going to meet their maker. It would be fairly anticlimactic if at least one of these deaths weren't a regular character, and we have a pretty good idea of which characters are more dispensable than others, as well as which characters' deaths would provide Gordon with "motivation." Here are all the series regulars of Gotham (from both season one and season two) ranked in order of least likely to most likely to meet an untimely end:
Gordon, Bruce, and Penguin
TV Guide explicitly stated that Gordon would be around all season, plus he's the protagonist and hasn't become Commissioner yet. Gotham is a Batman prequel show, so they're unlikely to kill off Bruce Wayne before he finishes puberty, and Robin Lord Taylor's performance as Penguin is literally the only thing that consistently works about this show. It seems safe to say that all three characters are safe for the time being.
Riddler, Two-Face, Catwoman, Lucius Fox
Riddler, Two-Face, and Catwoman are all classic Batman villains, and so are unlikely to be killed off before they have fully embraced their villainous alter-egos. Similarly, Lucius Fox is a classic Batman ally, and was only just introduced. The writers probably know that fans would be upset if Lucius Fox were made a series regular and then only showed up for a few episodes.
Alfred Pennyworth
We absolutely love Sean Pertwee as Alfred, and we think everyone else does, too. But the fact that TV Guide was caught "off-guard" by one of the deaths makes us worried that it's a fan favorite character. Alfred is also a classic DC Comics character, so it's unlikely, but we're a little bit on edge.
Harvey Bullock
We think this would be a terrible move on the part of the writers, as Bullock's one-liners have gotten us through many a terrible episode of Gotham, but Bullock is one of the few characters who could provide "motivation" to Gordon with his death. It's much more likely to be one of Gordon's love interests, but Bullock isn't nearly as well-known a character from the comics, so he's not completely safe.
Theo Galavan, Tabitha Galavan, Nathaniel Barnes
These are new characters, so it's anyone's guess. We would predict that Theo won't die within the first few episodes, as he's poised to become this season's Big Bad, but Tabitha and Nathaniel could easily be fair game.
Barbara Kean
Everyone hates Barbara, which makes her a more likely candidate, but the writers seem really committed to seeing her arc through. Now that she's clearly not working as a viable love interest, they're making her a full-on psychopathic villain, and in the above clip are even hinting at her becoming a version of Harley Quinn. She's by far the most despised character on the show, so she can't be ruled out, but she's not a sitting duck either.
Montoya is no longer a regular for this season, and no one really cares about her, so her prospects look grim. But then again, if no one cares about her, it's less likely that anyone would be "caught off-guard" by her death, so it's a toss-up.
Butch was made a regular for this season, but his storyline was mainly attached to Fish Mooney's, so he seems fairly disposable. There's a chance that Fish didn't actually die, but he may be more likely to die now that he's in no-man's-land.
Sarah Essen
Sarah Essen has been portrayed as generally likable, but perfectly expendable, which makes her a perfect candidate to die. Plus, her death could leave an opening for Jim to get promoted (although he gets fired in the above clip from the premiere, but we all know that can't last very long) and eventually become Commissioner. In the comics, she becomes a love interest for Gordon, so they might want to keep her on in order to fulfill that story arc, but she seems like one of the most likely options.
Leslie Thompkins
Let's be honest, it's probably Leslie. The notion that a death will "motivate" Gordon just screams fridging, and they seem suspiciously happy in the above clip. Not only do they seem happy, but Leslie wants to leave Gotham, which is something people only say on trite TV shows when they or their loved ones are about to die. I hate to say it, because I love Morena Baccarin, but I'll bet that Leslie's a goner.

AT&T Web Customers Face Data Cap
AT&T Inc. said Sunday that it will begin to cap DSL data usage for its Internet customers and implement charges for anyone who goes over the limit.
The Dallas telecommunications company said that customers who exceed a monthly limit of 150 gigabytes of data in three separate months will be charged $10 for every extra 50 gigabytes of data they consume. Customers on AT&T's higher-end U-Verse Internet service have a limit of 250 gigabytes. AT&T will impose the new limits on May 2.

Silencing genes in bacteria
Oeiras, 18.01.11
Bacteria resort to all kind of intricate strategies to cope with changes in the outside world. For instance, the expression of the main outer membrane proteins is regulated by small RNA molecules, which do not encode for proteins. These small RNAs are in turn regulated by the activity of RNA-degrading enzymes. Researchers from the Control of Gene Expression Lab at ITQB have now uncovered the regulation of one such small RNAs in the pathogenic bacterium Salmonella typhimurium, pointing to a gene silencing mechanism similar to that of higher organisms. The work is published in Nucleic Acids Research.
Small RNAs bind specifically to messenger RNAs (the ones encoding proteins) to trigger their degradation and thus control protein expression. This story revolves around MicA, a small non-coding RNA of about 70 nucleotides, involved in the regulation of the bacterial envelope composition. Researchers now find that the fine tuning of MicA requires mainly two ribonucleases; while RNase E degrades isolated MicA molecules, RNase III degrades MicA bound to its target.
Proteins similar to RNase III are major actors in RNA regulation in eukaryotes (higher organisms). In a process known as RNA interference or gene silencing, small RNAs bind to the RNA of specific target genes, promoting their degradation and impeding the production of the respective protein. The fact that, in Salmonella, MicA is cleaved by RNase III in a target-dependent fashion, with the concomitant decay of the mRNA target, strengthens the RNase III role in the regulation of gene expression, also in the bacteria.

Housing supplants child care as No. 1 stressor for employees
ComPsych reported that queries related to moving rose 14% in the first half of this year compared to the previous six months, illustrating the hardships even the employed are suffering because of a continued downturn in the nation's housing market.
"The surprise was the moving calls outpaced the child-care calls for the first time since we've been in business," said Jennifer Hudson, a spokeswoman for the 26-year-old firm.
The firm received 10,250 calls from employees requesting assistance with housing, compared with 8,000 calls related to child-care issues.
Employees who have lost homes to foreclosures, as well as those who are searching for smaller apartments or more affordable housing, caused the spike in housing-related calls, according to the ComPsych report.
Even as the percentage of foreclosures dropped in the second quarter, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association, short-term delinquencies were on the rise in what some see as a sign that another wave of foreclosures could be close at hand.
Almost three out of four calls to ComPsych concerned finding a cheap apartment, with 6% asking for financial assistance and 5% for help in researching local utilities and other amenities. The remaining questions dealt with shelter, buying a home and other relocation needs, according to the report.
Employees are also facing other financial stressors, including caring for elderly relatives, and health care issues. Elder-care related calls to ComPsych through June increased 23% over the previous six months, with health-care questions increasing 11%. Low-cost care led the list of information requests.
ComPsych serves more than 13,000 organizations that employ more than 33 million people in the U.S. and 100 countries.

Today's guest blog post was written by Nate Thompson, CEO of Cypress, a Brightcove Solutions Partner. Cypress is a Seattle-based digital agency that creates seamless interactive experiences across the web, mobile, tablet, console and connected TV. Cypress combines design and technical expertise to support its clients' varied app development and transmedia strategy development needs.
In the last several years, there has been an explosion in the number of devices that consumers use to access video content. While this was initially a very PC-centric activity, the advent of connected, or "smart" devices has significantly increased consumer choice for video consumption, and consumers have taken advantage of this. First with smart phones, and then tablets, video has been a core focus of what consumers use their connected devices to access.
Beginning in 2012, however, connected TVs and gaming consoles have seen tremendous growth and consumer adoption. Unlike smart phones and tablets, these devices give consumers the best of both worlds: the vast set of options made available via IP-based video catalogs in addition to the traditional lean-back experience of watching video on the big screen. As a result, consumers are watching more and more video through these devices than ever before.
One recent entrant to the market that Cypress has focused on, and which Freewheel noted in its Video Monetization Report in Q1 2012 as the #1 non-PC video consumption device, is the Xbox. With a global footprint of over 76 million devices sold, and over 46 million of those being subscribers to the Xbox LIVE service, Xbox has emerged as a leader in consumer video delivery.
For its part, Microsoft saw this trend coming as its Xbox users engaged with early video apps such as Netflix and YouTube on the platform. To accelerate the availability of video on Xbox LIVE, Microsoft created the Lakeview program – which, in essence, allows a number of third-party developers to create video applications for the Xbox LIVE platform.
As an early mover on the Xbox LIVE Lakeview platform, Cypress has launched a number of the first consumer applications including Sony Crackle and Popcornflix. With several additional apps in the certification process now, and more in the initial planning and design phases, Cypress is placing tremendous emphasis on video application development on the Xbox LIVE platform.
In the course of developing these initial apps, Cypress saw an opportunity to drive additional value for our customers on the Xbox platform. To support this, we developed CypressX, a third-party reference application for Xbox LIVE video apps. The core focus of our licensed application is two-fold: to maximize the monetization of video libraries for our media clients, and to lower the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of their Xbox app.
On the monetization front, Cypress is introducing new advertising and sponsorship units that are not available from the Microsoft reference application for Xbox LIVE applications. Additionally, CypressX will enable timed content previews to entice viewers to authenticate or purchase content via a dynamic paywall.
With respect to TCO, the plug-in architecture of CypressX significantly reduces the costs to integrate with Brightcove App Cloud for integration points including user authentication, advertising and analytics. Moreover, changes to the user interface such as navigation and layout that would typically require a title update and certification pass, can now be managed dynamically via Brightcove Video Cloud.
With the growing amount of choice on the Xbox platform, as well as the growing number of devices in market – now well over 73 million – Xbox is a platform that media brands can't afford to ignore. We believe that there are significant opportunities on this platform, and these opportunities are what have guided our development of the new third-party reference application for Xbox LIVE video applications. We are also excited to be partnering with Brightcove on our first joint implementation on the CypressX platform.
If you're attending CES this week, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will do our best to find time to meet during the show. If you would just like to learn more, please visit us at www.cypressdoeskillerapps.com/x.

Scream (1996) History of Horror
Mike Matei / October 27th, 2007
April 8, 2010 at 3:53 pm
Nothing to say about this, but I heard they're making Scream 4 pretty soon, so be prepared!K6CTX
April 14, 2010 at 10:02 pm
Although Scream gets a lot of shit, I really enjoy it. That doesn't go for the sequels though, and yes, even though 4 isn't out yet, it will be garbage.Deadpool2010
April 27, 2010 at 2:29 pm
I love all three of the Scream films. Not too sure how I feel about Scream 4 since Scream 3 pretty much ended it and ended it amazingly, but Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson(the writer of the screenplay for all three films) are suppose to return and David Arquette, Courteney Cox Arquette and even Neve Campbell are all reported to return, so it might be good, we'll just have to wait for the trailers and then the actual film.Shikster
April 29, 2010 at 3:27 pm
I liked the first one. Enough said hehe.
May 15, 2010 at 8:01 pm
Scream in a funny way did bring back the slasher movie's. We could have done without 2 and 3 tho. Still to this day it seems like everyone has a slasher movie.
May 24, 2010 at 7:57 pm
I think Scream is an excellent movie for fans of the horror genre. While so many horror films treat the audience like fools expecting them to fall for the same clichés over and over, Scream was not only self-aware but also had a slew of inside jokes only real horror fans would get, like all the references to Wes Craven and John Carpenter, and Drew Barrymore commenting in the opening that "the first Nightmare On Elm Street was good but the rest sucked."
It may not be the best movie Wes made, but it is definitely a treat.
Shame the writers of Scary Movie didn't work out Scream was a parody and thought "this movie sucks. Let's parody it!" Thank God Friedberg & Seltzer's script was shitcanned, even though they used their vague association to Scary Movie to forge their entire fucking career.
I love Wes, but he's the indirect cause of so much awful shit he lost control of, like the '[x] Movie' series and Freddy's Dead.mcmikec84
July 29, 2010 at 5:42 pm
I didn't think it was all that great, it's ok last time I saw the movie was when I rented it on VHS back in '97…..ahhh, the days of adolescence, where did they go???Dr. Robzo
August 10, 2010 at 4:49 am
I remember this movie series as the cause, of one of my good friends at the time, to realize his dream. From the moment he saw it, he realized he wanted to be a director. His first attempt at making a film was actually a home movie called Scream 4; which I had a part it (this was almost 7 years ago mind you). The last time I was at the movies, I saw a poster for Scream 4 and I just had to laugh. Peronally, I thought these movies sucked hard. The only part I actually like in the whole series, was when Jay and Silent Bob made a cameo in Scream 3.

November 12, 2014 at 7:59 pm
He wanted to be a director after he saw this film? What a sad story that is. If only he'd seen a GREAT MOVIE!CrazyA.M.
August 12, 2010 at 10:48 am
This Movie Has My Vote As The Best Horror Movie. I Loved All Three Even Tho Alot Of People Hate The 3rd, I Actually Like It. Tho The First And Second Are The Best Outta The 3. Im Actually Really Excited For The 4th To Come Out, I Just Think They Should Let Sid Be. I Wouldve Gone Insane Or Killed Myself If It Happened Again. Let Her Have Some Peace Of Mind And Get Another Heroine But Still Make A Cameo
August 15, 2010 at 10:55 am
What Is The Point Of Writing Like This? It Just Takes More Time Than Writing Like Normal!CrazyA.M.

I was actually watching one of creeds music vids on youtube and it was a vid about scream i'm not sure if it relates to the other two but who knows it might be a sneak peak at scream 4 (i think)icehead
September 12, 2010 at 4:32 am
I just watched this movie again for the first time in several years. I love all the little references in it, like the janitor who's dressed like Freddy Krueger. Or there's the line when Rose McGowan says "You're sounding like some Wes Carpenter flick." She combines the names John Carpenter with Wes Craven, and considering that Wes Craven is behind the wheel of this movie, that's just hilarious. The way it uses music from Halloween while the characters are watching it as music for the movie itself is just awesome.70alt1
September 15, 2010 at 4:12 pm
This movie is extra scary for me because Ghostface is based off of the Gainesville Ripper and I live in Gainesville.
September 24, 2010 at 8:56 am
omg i remember when i was kid i got so scared i stayed in my room.
also i remember on haloween a guy had the same costume i nearly shite my pants. im still scared of him now. 80TMO007
October 20, 2010 at 9:14 pm
I hate how James threw out that Scream was the reason why a generation knew that Jason's mother was the original killer in Friday the 13th, because I was part of that generation and it's so true. Haha I was just a lad then so gimme a break!slasherfan
October 24, 2010 at 4:27 am
in my opinion which doesnt mean much.but i think scream is the last great slasher movieDgamer21
October 26, 2010 at 8:19 pm
I would say Scream is more or less a parody of slasher films. Because it makes fun of all the horror movie cliches that were going on during the 70's and 80's.

I will admit I like the first 3 but I have to agree with K6CTX Scream 4 sucks before and after it came out. It was DESTINED to suck!Ilovegames

Wow my B-day lolpenpan
August 25, 2011 at 3:29 pm
Scream was a landmark for the age it was made in, when cellular phones were becoming main stream and a killer could be making the calls in your own backyard. Scream made people get caller id, yes, just like other horror films made people think twice. Neve Campbell was fun to watch as our heroine and part three left me with an optimistic feeling, like as she's walking toward her future, so can all of us.
Overrated or not, you can't deny this film brought kids back into slashers and got them on all the classics. I remember how popular this film was on its release, and how it had like 5 different vhs covers 😛 My mom bought one of course!ThrowntoReality
March 9, 2012 at 2:19 pm
I thought this film was okay, but I expected to hate it, so that's a good thing for me.
The reason I didn't like it was because when they revealed who the killer was, I never found it very believable that IT was a psychopath… I almost cracked at the point when IT sucked off the blood from ITS fingers! The acting didn't help either.
But then again, it's very hard to impress me with films. Regardless of genre.
(Note that I never revealed the killer's sex, so NO SPOILERS THERE!)OPP3R BIEEST X

Scream is more like Yawn. It was boring, contrived, and stupid disguising itself as smart.

Eventhough I'm a big fan of Jason Voorhees, Freddie Krueger, Michael Myers, and all the classic slashers, I also like Scream, at least until Scream 2. Didn't care much about Scream 3, and 4 is just totally meh. Just like James said, I like it because it is self aware of the cliche in slasher genre, and it's even self aware of its own cliche. Dumb, but kinda unique. But the most reason I like it is because, I like the idea that eventhough the serial killer is wearing a masil but it can be everybody and an ordinary person. And the set is in ordinary neighborhood. I mean, it's not like everyday I'm gonna spend my holiday in a wood or being killed in my dream. And eventhough Michael Myers also roams in the neighborhood, but we already know it's Michael Myers, while in Scream, the killer can be just a seemingly ordinary teen without any super strength or supernatural power, just someone you can meet everyday or even be friends with. Of course this is not a new thing, but I still think Scream is good for what it is.

RA packs up its tent and furry boots in search of the best festivals taking place this June.
10. Free Your Mind Festival
June 2
Arnhem, Netherlands
Not sure what to expect from Free Your Mind 2012? This 2010 photo gallery should tell you most of what you need to know. As you'll clearly see, the event is based on the classic Dutch summer festival formula, meaning tons of space, tons of tents, tons of people and, of course, tons of music. The site in question here is Stadsblokkenon on the banks of the Rhine at the eastern city of Arnhem. A focus on indigenous talent is as much a part of the Free Your Mind booking policy as international guests, with acts like Kabale und Liebe, Julien Chaptal, Lauhaus, Steffi and Quince given pride of place on a bill that also includes Function, Surgeon, Ame, Raresh, James Holden and Guy Gerber.
RA pick: Deslolat's tINI and her percussive house sound seem to be growing in stature each year.
09. Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas
June 8
Las Vegas Motor Speedway
Las Vegas, US
There's no question that Electric Daisy Carnival is a polarizing festival. But regardless of its chest-beating lineups and the fashion choices of its attendees, EDC is unquestionably one of the foremost events of its kind. The levels of production, for example, attain heights that other events can only dream of—a lighting show so intense you fear the stage may actually be on fire, a soundsystem powerful enough to shake Las Vegas Motor Speedway to its core. As for the talent, the usual gang are all in place—Armin Van Buuren, David Guetta, Swedish House Mafia, Tiësto—while EDC's flirtation with more refined sounds continues this year with the bookings of Richie Hawtin, Loco Dice, Magda, Josh Wink, John Digweed, Green Velvet and Dennis Ferrer.
RA pick: Boys Noize tossing gnarly sawtooth synths at the masses.
08. Parklife
June 9 - June 10
Platt Fields Park
Manchester, UK
Day One | Day Two
Festivals from the UK dominate the mid-section of our list this month, the first of which is Manchester's Parklife Weekender. The appeal here is simple: you get 100 artists performing across seven stages over two days staged on good old English grass. Taking place at the city's Platt Fields, the event will play host to both stadium fillers and underground favourites, with The Flaming Lips, Crystal Castles and Kelis counted among the former. At the other end of the spectrum, Joy Orbison, Maya Jane Coles and The Field will each deliver their more niche sounds, while Crosstown Rebels, Heidi's Jackathon and Hospitality all represent with their own stages.
RA pick: Nile Rodgers laying down some stone cold classics with Chic.
07. Field Day
June 2
Victoria Park
London, UK
If you can leave your expectations of crystal clear sound at the gates of Victoria Park, Field Day annually promises one of the global festival circuit's most prized lineups. Last year we described the cast list as "hipster oddities, blog faves, tasteful pop and on-the-money dance," and we don't think there's a better way of putting it this time out. Field Day usually opts not to over-emphasize its headliners, preferring instead to draw upon a fertile mid-range talent pool, although both Franz Ferdinand and Modeselektor could stake a decent claim to the title if we're playing that game. Elsewhere, the curatorial hands of Eat Your Own Ears, Bugged Out!, Bleed and Lanzarote will roll with names like SBTRKT, Peaking Lights, Maya Jane Coles, Kassem Mosse, Grimes, Laurel Halo, Fennesz and Kindness.
RA pick: Maya Jane Coles making a homecoming of sorts after a series of international dates.
06. Lovebox
June 15 - June 17
Victoria Park
London, UK
Day One | Day Two | Day Three
Lovebox began life in somewhat more humble surroundings than its current 50,000 capacity home. 93 Feet East on London's Brick Lane was the club for founder's Groove Armada's regular night under the name; as Lovebox's first birthday approached they decided to celebrate outdoors down on Clapham Common… Ten years later and Lovebox is now a three-day, multi-staged beast held in the city's Victoria Park, a festival that this year the organizers themselves are modestly billing as "East London's biggest party ever." The cheaper entry Friday evening is set to be headlined by Hot Chip and Crystal Castles, with Rinse, Digital Soundboy and Hessle Audio hosting stages. Saturday is the day to catch Hospitality, Crosstown Rebels and Warm & Electric Minds, while on Sunday it'll be the turn of Dalston Superstore, Gutterslut & Trailer Trash and Horse Meat Disco.
RA pick: The NYC Downlow, hosted by the Horse Meat Disco boys features Andrew Weatherall, Tim Sweeney and Optimo.
05. Glade
June 14 - June 17
Houghton Hall
King's Lynn, Norfolk
After a turbulent couple of years it seems as though Glade has once again got its groove back. 2011's event, their first at Houghton Hall, was by all accounts excellent, and Glade will return to the Norfolk site for 2012—a venue they're now describing as their permanent home. The site's green fields will feature every genre you could shake a stick at, spread across several stages, from Sven Väth to Andy C to Kuedo. The Pyro-mid—a pyramid-shaped stage that is set ablaze at the end of the festival— will return this year, curated by Hypercolour and featuring Mosca and Eats Everything. Then there's a "psychedelic village" replete with healing tents—acupuncture, reiki—and saunas. Like dancing animals? Glade's got you covered there as well.
RA pick: Appleblim, one of the UK's most unpredictable but reliable DJs, at the Pyromid.
04. Hideout Festival
June 29 - July 1
Zrce Beach
Pag, Croatia
Hideout Festival marks one of the first events in the increasingly busy Croatian summer season. The island of Pag, and more specifically its lovely Zrce Beach, is the home to this particular jaunt on the Adriatic which returns for 2012 with an entire week of events, an extra venue (club Kalypso) and an increased capacity after last year's successful debut. Looking at the Hideout bill it's tough to trace a recurrent theme, with the emphasis instead placed on covering multiple bases. The headline pack are neatly indicative of this: you've got the groove and swing of Ricardo Villalobos, the tear-out dubstep vibes of Skream & Benga, and Jamie Jones and Seth Troxler representing the newer DJing elite.
RA pick: Four Tet & Caribou DJing back-to-back are bound to dig up some interesting oddball gems.
03. Taicoclub
June 2
Kiso-gun, Japan
Taicoclub is part of a select group of global festivals that also includes Nachtdigital in Germany, Freerotation in the UK and fellow Japanese event Labyrinth. The key thing that binds these events? Love. Yeah, soppy, we know, but these highly intimate and unique offerings seem to attract the same devoted following year-on-year, engendering a sense of community that's almost impossible to replicate. Taicoclub's established blend of bands and DJs will again be journeying out to the stunning Yabuhara ski resort four hours outside of Tokyo, with Ricardo Villalobos making his third appearance at the festival. Animal Collective and Boredoms will be looking after more indie-centric interests, while Sepalcure, Josh Wink, Pepe Bradock and TR-101 (DJ Pete & Sleeparchive) rep for team dance.
RA pick: Pepe Bradock's disco treats lifting the already sky-high feel-good factor.
02. Awakenings Festival
June 30
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Jeff Mills. Carl Cox. Adam Beyer. Marco Carola. Ben Klock. Marcel Dettmann. Ricardo Villalobos. Ben Sims. Dave Clarke. Planetary Assault Systems. Speedy J. Laurent Garnier. Robag Wruhme. San Proper. Davide Squillace. Mathias Tanzmann. John Digweed. Joris Voorn. Martin Buttrich. Pan-Pot. Marcel Fengler. Countless others. 11 hours. Nine stages. Spaarnwoude, Holland. We don't have anything else to add except that...
RA pick: We're fascinated to see how Donato Dozzy & Neel adapt their dusky Voices from the Lake project to a festival setting.
01. Sonar
June 14 - June 16
Various Venues
Barcelona, Spain
Along with Movement and WMC, Sonar is one of those festivals that got so big (and good) it outgrew itself. Nowadays when someone says they're "going to Sonar," they're probably referring to more than the festival itself, which, with a three-day program split between CCCB and Fira Gran Via that runs the gamut from Deadmau5 to DJ Harvey, would be more than enough. Parlance aside, "Sonar" officially doesn't include the dozens of other events strewn across the city, which range from invite-only soirees to 1,000+ capacity club parties. These days there's even a four-day off-Sonar event, East Ender. All things considered, it's a pretty good weekend to be in Barcelona.
RA pick: It's hard not to be curious about Mary Anne Hobbs going back-to-back with Blawan at Sonar By Night.

Ticket Down is a reputable source of authentic tickets for Dead and Company in Chicago at Wrigley Field. Dead and Company is a band that consists of three of the core four members of the legendary Grateful Dead, pop star John Mayer, Grammy Award winner Oteil Burbridge from the Allman Brothers Band, and Jeff Chimenti from RatDog.
The Grateful Dead were founded in 1965 and quickly became pioneers of the jam band scene that blended together styles and tones of many other genres. Their leader was Jerry Garcia, who passed away in 1995, and since his death hasn't performed much together. A couple of yeas ago, the last four surviving members of the group took part in a mini-farewell tour with the help of Mayer. The three members of the Dead that will be performing, Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Bob Weir, weren't ready to quit performing the music they have known their entire lives and this will only benefit the fans. The addition of Mayer, Burbridge, and Chimenti will make for a great experience for any fan in attendance.
Wrigley Field is the home of the Chicago Cubs from Major League Baseball. The venue has been filled with numerous historic moments in baseball history since it opened in 1914 and has also been used as a stage for many popular performers from across several musical genres.

More Info
In recent years, mobile and compact recording gear has, like so many other gadget types, become smaller and smaller in stature. We've seen add-ons for smartphones and tablets that aren't much larger than a quarter, along with mobile mics that boast USB compatibility. The Blue Microphones Tiki continues the trend, offering the same premium aesthetics we've come to expect fromthe company, along with top-notch audio quality. The Tiki is said to perform at its best with Skype-style video chats and voice recording, thanks in part to an intelligent mute and noise isolation features.
Let's be honest, though. Purchasing a USB microphone for the sole purpose of video chatting will be a tough sell for most folks. People like podcasters will expect a bit more functionality from a peripheral like this. Luckily, the unit boasts a "Natural Recording Mode" that promises instrument-tracking capabilities as well. But does the Tiki handle online banter, voice recording and guitar sounds well enough to warrant a $60 purchase? And exactly how smart is the intelligent mute? Read on to see what we discovered when we gave this flash drive-sized microphone the full-on review treatment.

Pretty Bird (2008) is a comedy based on Paul Brown's novel The Rocketbelt Caper: A True Tale of Invention, Obsession and Murder.
It was filmed in New Jersey in August 2007 and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2008, where it was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize.
Pretty Bird was released on DVD on June 29, 2010.
Curtis Prentiss (Billy Crudup) is the archetypal American dreamer: the rainmaker. He arrives in town with big ideas, a fervent sales pitch, and a set of blueprints in hand. Curtis also has a wealthy old acquaintance who's susceptible to his incantations. He finds, by chance, an out-of-work aerospace engineer (Paul Giamatti), whom he recruits with a vision of building "the rocket belt," a personalized flying machine. They embark on their mutual missions—to raise capital and solve the conundrum of flight—but their relationship quickly deteriorates. When unexpectedly they find success, everything really goes out of control, and a struggle begins that will change their lives.

November 2015
Al Habtoor Group's multi-billion-dollar "city within a city" encompasses three five-star properties, upscale residences and a host of retails and leisure facilities.
With the opening of Dubai's first-ever St Regis at the year-end on the very site of one of the UAE city's historic hotels and social hotspots, the emirate is poised to enter a new phase in its hospitality annals.
The St Regis Dubai is currently getting its finishing touches in Al Habtoor City, a multi-billion-dollar project that occupies the prime location on Shaikh Zayed Road where barely three years ago the 34-year-old Metropolitan hotel was bulldozed into history.
Al Habtoor City, a dream project of the Al Habtoor Group, will be a fully integrated urban resort featuring a hospitality destination comprising three five-star hotels operated by Starwood Hotels and Resorts, three upscale residential towers and a Las Vegas-style theatre. Its three destination hotels will include Dubai's debutante St Regis, the UAE's first W Hotel and the largest Westin in the Middle East, collectively presenting nearly 1,600 rooms of unsurpassed luxury.
The destination is being built at a cost of $3 billion over an area of 8.5 million sq ft and is billed as "an iconic city within an iconic city". A short distance from Dubai's major landmarks and tourism sites such as the Burj Khalifa, Madinat Jumeirah, The Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates, Al Habtoor City is beautifully intertwined with the under-construction Dubai Water Canal, which will connect Dubai Creek with the Arabian Gulf.
Al Habtoor City will also have an array of retail and leisure facilities lining The Boulevard and the Marina Promenade, including boutiques, stylish cafés, signature restaurants and a tennis academy with four courts, including an air-conditioned court for year-round play.
The new community will also incorporate practicalities such as a branded supermarket, a clinic and pharmacy, and more than 5,000 car-parking spaces.
Al Habtoor's dream city is now structurally visible from miles around, and the project will be opened in phases over the next couple of years. The opening of the St Regis at the end of this year will be closely followed by the opening of W Dubai and The Westin Dubai City.
Construction work is close to completion on the hotel complex while work on the three residential towers will be completed in 2017, according to a spokesman for Al Habtoor Group, which is currently working on the St Regis to ensure it delivers the bespoke experience that the prestigious Starwood Hotels and Resorts brand is known for the world over.
The hotels feature exceptional concepts by British architects John R and Partners, with detailed development by Khatib and Alami, one of the region's most prominent architectural firms. Interior design was done by Hong Kong-based Bilkey Llianas for St Regis, Singapore's Silverfox for W Dubai, and London-based WA International for The Westin.
Alongside the beautifully designed guestrooms and suites, the hotels will provide some 21 world-class dining venues, two spas – the Iridium Spa at The St Regis Dubai and Heavenly Spa by Westin at The Westin Al Habtoor City, state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor event space, and much more.
Al Habtoor Group also launched The Residence Collection – the ultra-luxury residences within the city – to much fanfare at September's Cityscape Global exhibition in Dubai. This collection consists of 1,460 apartments ranging from one to four bedrooms to loft-style units and penthouses.
"Additionally, the project will bring the first-ever permanent water-themed production by Dragone, the leading cultural creation company in the world. Also featured at Al Habtoor City will be a tennis academy, along with the UAE's first indoor, fully air-conditioned tennis court," he says.
The Las Vegas-style water-themed theatrical production by Dragone will be staged in a purpose-built theatre with a 35-m-high vaulted ceiling.
The St Regis Dubai is influenced by the beaux-arts architecture of the original St Regis in New York (US); the hotel's interiors are accentuated with bespoke elements such as a grand staircase, a 1,200-piece hand-cut crystal chandelier, carefully selected artworks, and the signature mural in the St Regis Bar.
Complementing its grandeur that appeals to the modern-day discerning traveller, the hotel includes a private helipad.
Leaving no aspect of luxury living untouched, the hotel features 234 rooms: 182 rooms and 52 suites. Each guestroom promises a bright, airy ambience with impeccable details – from the chandeliers and carefully handpicked artwork to the most lavish furnishings. Rooms and suites feature signature St Regis beds, exquisite marble bathrooms and an abundance of Remède amenities, as well as state-of-the-art entertainment technologies.
Signature suites include the Royal Suite and the Middle East's first Bentley Suite. While the three-bedroom Royal Suite with its own private pool, located on the highest floors of the hotel, is decorated in warm, soft tones, with distinctly refined interiors and timeless artwork, the Bentley Suite is inspired by the bespoke craftsmanship of the flagship Bentley Mulsanne, offering what is described as "the ultimate expression of luxury that is beyond comparison".
In addition, all guests are extended the signature St Regis butler service ensuring their unique preference is known and understood.
Among the distinctive features of the hotel is the Iridium Spa. Born from the DNA of the St Regis brand and exclusive to St Regis, the Iridium Spa promises bespoke touches of a rare spa experience with its six treatment rooms (three male, three female), two hammams, and separate female and male areas with a steam room and sauna.
Building on a legacy that dates back to 1938 and the grand opening of The Iridium Room at The St Regis New York, Iridium Spa articulates the same distinctive elegance – both in the enthralling design of its treatment suites and in thoughtful gestures like a signature tea ritual.
Other recreational facilities at the hotel include two rooftop pools as well as a 24-hour fitness centre.
The hotel also features eight food and beverages outlets. These include:
• St Regis Bar: Adorned with wood and leather whilst exuding a cozy and elegant allure, The St Regis Bar on the ground floor is the signature facility adhering to the tradition of classic bars dating back to New York's Gilded Age. The venue exudes an aura of sophistication that makes it the choice venue of the influential and the well-heeled.
• J&G Steakhouse, one of the signature specialty restaurants on Level One, which is inspired by Michelin-starred chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
• Brasserie Quartier with La Patisserie – also located at Level One – is a modern interpretation of a classic French brasserie with an elegant and vibrant ambience, serving contemporary French and European cuisine curated by St Regis master chefs.
• Sidra Lounge: Sidra – meaning 'heavenly tree' in Arabic – is a lounge that celebrates the time-honoured culture of afternoon tea enhanced by bespoke tea blends, accompanied by delectable pastries and home-made cakes. Located on Level One by the grand staircase, the venue boasts views over the garden of the hotel.
• Café Fleuri: Reminiscent of the 1930's Parisian café décor, Café Fleuri will serve as a meeting place – the social pulse of the city. The décor features wooden flooring, marble tops, a bar counter with a mirror wall and classic wood clad panels and walls with artwork featuring photography and prints of Parisian cafes and culture.
Other F&B venues include the Champagne Lounge, which combines sophistication with a light hearted atmosphere; Le Patio, a 1930's-style Parisian café located on Level Two of the hotel; and the Roof Gardens, a rooftop open-air venue set amongst two swimming pools and lush greenery.
This apart, the St Regis Dubai graciously accommodates an extensive variety of gatherings, from executive roundtable meetings to grand celebrations. The six meeting rooms, including the Caroline Astor Boardroom, complement the opulent 800-sq-m Astor Ballroom.
Located on the ground and second floor of the hotel, the hotel's meeting spaces marry bespoke design and the latest technology, with elegant furnishings and live cooking stations for catering to groups.
Additional spaces include the hotel's landscaped gardens, which present desired locations for al fresco events.
The new W Dubai – Sheikh Zayed Road promises a vibrant blend of fabulous design, cutting-edge technology and spectacular experiences. Featuring 356 guest rooms including an Extreme WOW suite, contemporary restaurant concepts and glamorous entertainment experiences, the hotel will also bring to Dubai the not-your-ordinary W Lounge, the W brand's revolutionary take on the traditional lobby lounge concept.
Scheduled for a 2016 opening, the luxury hotel will also offer eight contemporary dining venues, Wet pool deck, Sweat state-of-the-art fitness centre and contemporary meeting and event spaces, including the W Great Room.
The Westin Dubai
The largest Westin hotel in the region, The Westin Dubai, Al Habtoor City stands tall on Sheikh Zayed Road with its 41-storey structure. The hotel's refined interiors of stylised motifs are influenced by the Art Deco movement and eco-sensitive colours and textures.
"The well-appointed 1,004 rooms, including 142 suites, featuring the Westin Heavenly Bed and Heavenly Bath, are designed to deliver a truly revitalising experience to guests whether travelling for business or leisure. Elevating the stay experience for guests staying in Club rooms and above, The Westin Club Lounge on level 39 presents delightful inclusions while affording uninterrupted views of the colourful Sheikh Zayed Road," the spokesman says.
The hotel also features the 24-hour WestinWorkout Fitness Studio, an outdoor pool and the Heavenly Spa by Westin on two levels that features a hammam, 22 treatment rooms and separate wet areas for males and females.

Myth #5: Anaïs Nin's erotica disqualifies her as any sort of feminist.
In the February issue of Glamour, there is an article entitled "6 Crazy Sex Requests Women Just Like You Have Heard." One of the requests, reported by a 32-year-old woman was, "My husband asked, 'Can we do it, but can it just be all about me?' It gets better: He said I could keep the TV on so I wouldn't miss The Office" (Glamour, p. 100). On the Smoking Gun website, there is a "Contract of Wifely Expectations" in which a man lists requirements his wife must fulfill, which, it could be argued, are repressive to say the least. Both these articles reveal that for some men, patriarchy is alive and well.
As shown in the article "Feminist Smut(?)—A study of Anaïs Nin's erotica," by Angela Carter in A Café in Space, Vol. 6, patriarchy is a thread running through Anaïs Nin's erotica (Delta of Venus and Little Birds). For example, Carter uses a story from Little Birds to illustrate that Nin wrote of women's struggle for sexual liberation in a time of patriarchal mores:
When read in the context of feminist criticism, "Hilda and Rango" is in many ways one of Nin's more troubling stories. The reader sees the story's protagonist struggle because her sexual actions are not socially acceptable for women. As the story unfolds, Hilda becomes more and more sexually passive in order to please a male lover who subscribes to conventional gender roles. When the story ends as Hilda submits passively to a dominant male lover, it is easy to assume, mistakenly, that Nin is sustaining gendered traditionalism. (A Café in Space, Vol. 6, p.97)
The story is based on actual events between Nin and Gonzalo More, the Peruvian who swept her off her feet in Paris in the late 30s. Despite his apparent bohemianism, More was very traditional in that he felt women should be submissive and allow the man to "have his way." Before meeting More, Nin had been sexually awakened in her relationship with Henry Miller, who allowed her to be bold and daring. "Hilda and Rango" parallels this duality: the natural desire to be sexually adventurous and the social pressure to be passive.
Nin writes that when Hilda makes an advance on Rango, he suddenly "pushed her away as if she had wounded him" and tells her that she "made the gesture of a whore."
The story ends with Hilda submitting completely to Rango, denying her own sexuality in favor of his. Carter goes on to say:
Her will was her desire to initiate sex and Rango drove it out of her. He now rules her sexuality by denying it and forcing her to lay almost corpse-like while he teases her. In the last candlelit moment, he leads their intercourse like the demon she first saw in him. Sadly, this moment when Hilda's idealized dream of passivity comes true is instead Rango's moment, "his desire, his hour" (Little Birds 120). The moment that should have fulfilled the passive Hilda's dream is not her moment at all. By leaving Hilda's sexuality completely out of the story's conclusion, Nin provokes the reader to question what happened to her desire, her hour. (A Café in Space, Vol. 6, p. 102)
Carter shows us that Nin indeed used her erotica to highlight the suppression of female sexuality. While Nin was never a second wave feminist in the true sense of the term, her erotica could be viewed as feminist since it expresses the struggle of women to be sexually liberated in the early 1940s, long before second wave feminism took root.
