Mercedes, you're my new hit-predicting adviser, and this way, we'll get to spend more time together. Lolo, I'm transferring you to missile defense. These guys' songs have infectious melodies, classic pop hooks, and Big Time Rush will crush the 6- to 16-year-old demographic, which is your core music-buying base. Mercedes: Lolo's wrong, daddy! The vampire fad has one, two years left, max. Griffin: So, what do you say, Lolo? Do you like Big Time Rush? Ooooooh, the fart noise. I love you! Griffin: Is that true? Because she lies. I lied to them, and I made them be my boyfriends, and then I ate terrible cookies, and then I cried, and then I helped them chimpnap Lolo, and. Kelly: So, you're going to pick Big Time Rush?! Gustavo: WE ARE HALFWAY THERE!!! All: YEAHHHHH!!! Mercedes: But I don't pick the winning band. I'm just a spoiled, pushy, mean girl who dresses hot and thinks your songs are great. James: (turns to the boys) I'm better now. James: Yeah, you should be sorry! How could you pick THEM over ME? Mercedes: Because I never date anyone prettier than me. Mercedes: Look, I know we haven't all dated that long, but I just wanted to come back to say. Kendall: That you don't wait for your dreams to happen you MAKE them happen. Carlos: That every time you leave your house, your toys come alive. Logan: If you drink cold milk on a hot day, you DIIIIIIIE. We are NOT toast! What's the one thing we've learned since we got in L.A.? James: That black is the new black. Someone always throws something at Bitters, causing him to yell "YEOW!! WHO THREW THAT?!" at least once in the episode interrupting his evil laugh.James Arnold Taylor as Regional Manager Taylor.David Anthony Higgins as Reginald Bitters. Knight quits her job as assistant manager. After BTR's demo gets picked, Kelly renews the lease for the apartment and Mrs. Bitters tries everything in order to get her to quit her job and eventually get the apartment. Knight accepts the job of being the assistant manager in the Palm Woods in order to keep the apartment, but Mr. Bitters wants to move into that apartment and Mrs. When the boys return to the Palm Woods, them and Katie run to the pool and enjoy the LA life.ĢJ has a 3-month lease and it can only be renewed when the boys get their demo picked. The boys then perform their new song " Halfway There" and Gustavo allows them to stay in Los Angeles. He also promotes Mercedes to demo chooser. Griffin picks BTR's demo and demotes Lolo to missile defense. Griffin isn't impressed and the chimp chooses Vampira as the winning band, but Mercedes is able to convince her father that Big Time Rush is the better choice. This gets out of control, and everything turns into a mess. They kidnap the chimp and try to train it to clap every time a BTR song is played. Mercedes also explains that isn't the demo chooser, a chimp is. She admits that BTR is very cute and wanted to date them. Mercedes comes back and apologizes to the boys. She turns out to be very horrible and nasty and after she breaks up with Kendall and Carlos, she doesn't pick their demo. When Griffin's daughter Mercedes, the apparent demo chooser walks in, she says the boys are hot, and dates each, except James, since the boys want her to pick their demo. The main competition against Big Time Rush is a vampire-themed boy band called Vampira. Gustavo tells them that six boy bands have had three months to make a demo, which is picked by Griffin's secret demo chooser. One morning, while the band is resting by the pool, Kelly hands them their tickets and says that if the record company doesn't pick their demo, they will go back to Minnesota.

Please contact us before returning a defective item in order to receive the return shipping address and other instructions. Some products have different policies or requirements associated with them. You will receive an e-mail containing the shipment date and other details of your order after it has been shipped. If your order was shipped to Brazil or Russia, you can send it back to us within 140 days after shipment. You may have trouble looking at certain LCD screens through polarized lenses, however.In most cases, items shipped from Jollynova can be returned within 90 days after delivery or 120 days after shipment if the delivery date is not traceable. Since it’s so much nicer to look through polarized lenses, and they’re available on some sunglasses that are as cheap as non-polarized options, there’s no reason to skip this feature. Polarization: All of our picks are polarized, or have the option to add polarization, since polarized lenses eliminate glare and increase contrast, and thus decrease eyestrain.These also offer good contrast in dim or low-light conditions.” Green lenses transmit all color evenly, meaning color perception is even. Amber or brown lenses improve contrast and enhance depth perception. Gray-tinted lenses offer better overall protection and help reduce glare, especially off water and pavement surfaces. But as Ellen Koo, MD, told us, “Different color tints can serve different types of advantages. Lenses: Lens color is primarily a matter of style and preference.In general, we prefer minimal company branding and logos. If you see three numbers there, the first number is the horizontal width of the lens in millimeters. If you’re trying to decide what frames might fit your face, check the inside arm of a pair you already like. Models that offered a variety of color combinations to suit more people’s preferences were great, but we didn’t eliminate glasses that lacked such options. Design: We looked for pairs in a range of styles, to suit different tastes.In our testing, we found that full-metal hinges helped-the hinges made arms easier to fold and unfold-but we considered models that had plastic hinges, too. Build quality: Even cheap sunglasses should feel solidly constructed and be able to withstand your throwing them into a backpack or onto the backseat of a car.Comfort: Although comfort is hard to evaluate because people’s faces and tolerance for glasses vary widely, we sought frames that were lightweight and pleasant to wear for long periods of time on a variety of face shapes and sizes.Some people are willing to take good care of their shades and pay more for style, excellent build quality, or other bonuses, so we also tested some higher-quality pairs, and for those we set our price cap at $70. Value: After speaking to people who tended to break or lose their sunglasses, we decided that a good pair of cheap sunglasses should meet all our other criteria for less than $30.When you shop for sunglasses, always make sure to choose lenses with 99% or 100% UV protection or UV400 labeling (“UV400” means that the glasses block all light rays with wavelengths shorter than 400 nanometers, which is the cutoff for UV light). Goel, MD, told us, when you use lenses without UV protection, you end up allowing more damaging UV rays to enter your eyes than if you were wearing no sunglasses at all, and you leave your eyes vulnerable to a slew of nasty ailments (more on that in the UV protection section). However, with Messenger and Instagram so tightly intertwined it could potentially have made it difficult for Meta to argue against opening Messenger up when it was already working with other apps like Instagram. Interestingly, Meta is already working to ensure WhatsApp can be used with other competing instant messaging platforms, while it argues that Messenger shouldn't be regulated as a "core platform service" under the same act. To that end, Apple could potentially be forced to open iMessage up, allowing it to work with third-party apps like WhatsApp. The DMA was designed to ensure that no one company has undue control over the services that European citizens use, and it has the power for force interoperability if it's deemed platforms are abusing their power. Meta's Facebook Messenger is already in the crosshairs of the European Commission and the Digital Markets Act, after all. This move comes three years after the 2020 merging of the two systems, and while some people will no doubt be disappointed to have to download an extra app, this was perhaps always a move that was in the cards. However, people can continue to message and call their contacts on Facebook, Instagram or Messenger.” “Starting in mid-December, we will begin removing this feature. “A few years ago, we introduced a new Messenger experience in Instagram DMs which enabled people to message and call a FB account (Messenger) from an Instagram account and vice versa,” they said. We'll overlook the discussion of whether Instagram even needs a messaging platform attached to it for now. That means that we should expect the interoperability to end within the next week or so, so keep that in mind if you've been using one app or the other because there's a good chance you're soon going to need them both. The fact that it ever existed in the first place might come as a surprise to some - it doesn't appear that it ever went live in Europe, which interesting for reasons we'll get to later.Īs for when the loss of cross-platform messaging will take place, a vague "mid-December" has been offered. While previously Instagram users were able to message Facebook Messenger users and vice versa, that's going away. Instead, the change was quietly pushed to a support page but the upshot is the same regardless. The Meta-owned Instagram and Facebook Messenger apps have long been intertwined in a way that is set to go away, although it hasn't been confirmed via a press release or official statement. I’m a big fan of the app’s separate storage for iCloud and Dropbox. I do wish there was a gesture to quickly close a document without having to pull down the keyboard first, and I would like to see character count and reading time become available on the iPhone as well. The typing view of iA Writer 1.5 is now full-screen, which I think is incredibly better on iOS devices than being forced to always see window chrome. The iPhone app does, though, feature a custom keyboard with often-used keys placed in an extra row that also contains a drag handle to dismiss it (I love this aspect of the app), and arrows to navigate. Either that, or iA simply didn’t have time to squeeze in more features – I don’t know, but as it stands now iA Writer for iPhone lacks Focus mode, and support for visual Markdown previews, which are both supported on the iPad and Mac. The core of iA Writer’s experience has been preserved in making the leap to the iPhone, but something’s got to give when you’re porting an app to the smaller screen. In my tests, iA Writer for iPhone was able to push changes to the same document already open on other devices, and I’m pretty satisfied with how iCloud sync turned out on iOS and OS X. Fortunately, iA Writer for iPhone has also a sync button, so if you’re not sure about the latest change fetched from the app, you can always hit Refresh and check that you’re getting the latest version of a document before you start writing. Dropbox, as usual, can be slightly more “manual” in that iCloud is “invisible” in pushing and receiving changes automatically, all the time. iA Writer can sync documents with iCloud and Dropbox across devices, and both are fairly reliable at keeping changes up to date and ready to be modified. This concept has been ported well to the iPhone. It’s called iA Writer for a reason – it’s about you, the writer, and the app, the digital writer. If most text editors and writing tools want you to feel connected with the web by adding social sharing functionalities, search look-ups, and various integrations with different services, iA Writer wants you to feel disconnected from the Internet’s noise to reconnect exclusively with what’s in front of you: text. There’s no cluttering interface with too many options. It’s a minimalist take on plain text writing that focuses on letting you write without distractions with great typography, and only the essential features. There isn’t much to say about iA Writer if you’re familiar with the iPad and Mac versions. Not only does iA Writer look great on the Retina display – it’s also functional and easy to use. Released as a universal update a few minutes ago on the App Store, I have been trying iA Writer for iPhone for the past few days, and I’m pleased to say Information Architects managed to squeeze (almost) everything that makes iA Writer great on the iPad and Mac (our coverage) into the iPhone’s smaller screen. The experiment has been a success so far, and that’s largely thanks to iA Writer, which starting today is also available on the iPhone. So as I was pondering the decision of trying to manage a separate, personal blog to share links and longer opinion pieces that I didn’t simply want to be short bursts on Twitter, I also decided that I would write such weblog exclusively from my iPad. I have been writing for MacStories for almost three years now, but I’ve never had “a place” to share my personal thoughts that wouldn’t fit in 140 characters or less. A few months ago, I decided that it was time for me to start a personal blog. "Skillful", as his late WGN-TV colleague Bob Collins called him, was consulted for the movie The Weather Man, which was set in Skilling's hometown of Chicago at a fictionalized version of WGN-TV. He has long been hailed for his in-depth reports and striking accuracy, perhaps best highlighted by his correctly predicting the Groundhog Day blizzard in 2011 almost two weeks before it paralyzed the Chicago area. His weather broadcasts have always featured the latest technology in computer imagery and animation techniques. That feature, Ask Tom, ceased in August 2022 with a redesign of the weather page. He also writes the daily weather column for the Chicago Tribune. He is currently WGN-TV's chief meteorologist and is rumored to be the highest-paid local broadcast meteorologist in the United States. Skilling returned to the Chicago area and joined WGN-TV on August 13, 1978. At WITI, he delivered his forecasts with the "help" of the station's resident sock puppet mascot, Albert the Alley Cat. In 1975 Skilling took his first major-market television position, becoming the lead forecaster at WITI-TV in Milwaukee. While attending the University of Wisconsin–Madison, he worked at WKOW-TV and WTSO radio, both in Madison. Skilling attended the University of Wisconsin in Madison to study meteorology and journalism. At age 18, he began working at WLXT-TV in Aurora. Skilling's forecasts were accurate, and he was hired to forecast Aurora's weather three times a day. Skilling observed that WKKD's forecasts were inaccurate because they were for Chicago and not Aurora, so he approached WKKD and offered to forecast the weather for several days, with the condition that if his forecasts were accurate he would be hired to host his own weather program. While in high school Tom began his career in broadcasting at age 14, working for WKKD and WKKD-FM. The family moved to the Chicago suburb of Aurora, Illinois, where he attended West Aurora High School. His early years were spent in Westfield, New Jersey. The oldest of four children, Tom Skilling was born at Magee Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Thomas Jr. Since 1978, he has worked as a meteorologist at WGN-TV in Chicago. Skilling III (born February 20, 1952) is an American television meteorologist. The Lock Screen is more personal, beautiful, and helpful than ever with a multilayered effect that artfully sets subjects of photos in front of the time, and newly designed widgets that offer information at a glance. IPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus feature iOS 16, offering a reimagined Lock Screen along with new communication, sharing, and intelligence features that together change the way users experience iPhone. Emergency SOS via satellite will be available to users in the US and Canada in November, and the service will be free for two years. This breakthrough technology also allows users to manually share their location over satellite with Find My when there is no cellular or Wi-Fi connection, providing a sense of security when hiking or camping off the grid. The initial questionnaire and follow-up messages are then relayed to centers staffed by Apple‑trained specialists who can call for help on the user’s behalf. Since every second counts, with Emergency SOS via satellite, iPhone front-loads a few vital questions to assess the user’s situation, and shows them where to point their phone to connect to a satellite. Satellites are moving targets with low bandwidth, and it can take minutes for messages to get through. The iPhone 14 lineup also introduces Emergency SOS via satellite, which combines custom components deeply integrated with software to allow antennas to connect directly to a satellite, enabling messaging with emergency services when outside of cellular or Wi-Fi coverage. When a severe crash is detected, the emergency services call interface will appear on Apple Watch, as it is most likely to be in closer proximity to the user, while the call is placed through iPhone if it is in range for the best possible connection. When combined with Apple Watch, Crash Detection seamlessly leverages the unique strength of both devices to get users help efficiently. Advanced Apple-designed motion algorithms trained with over a million hours of real-world driving and crash record data provide even better accuracy. These capabilities build on existing components, like the barometer, which can now detect cabin pressure changes, the GPS for additional input for speed changes, and the microphone, 5 which can recognize loud noises typified by severe car crashes. With a new dual-core accelerometer capable of detecting G-force measurements of up to 256Gs and a new high dynamic range gyroscope, Crash Detection on iPhone can now detect a severe car crash and automatically dial emergency services when a user is unconscious or unable to reach their iPhone. The entire iPhone 14 lineup introduces groundbreaking safety capabilities that can provide emergency assistance when it matters most. Pre-orders begin Friday, September 9, with availability for iPhone 14 beginning Friday, September 16, and availability for iPhone 14 Plus beginning Friday, October 7. iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus will be available in midnight, blue, starlight, purple, and (PRODUCT)RED 1 finishes. And with amazing battery life, industry-leading durability features, and super-fast 5G, this iPhone lineup is more advanced than ever before. iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus introduce critical safety capabilities such as Crash Detection and Emergency SOS via satellite, a first in the industry. Both models include the A15 Bionic chip with a 5-core GPU, which offers incredible performance and efficiency for demanding workloads, and is designed with privacy and security built in. iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus take stunning photos and video with a powerful camera system featuring new Main and front TrueDepth cameras, the Ultra Wide camera for unique perspectives, and Photonic Engine - an enhanced image pipeline. CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIAApple today introduced iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, featuring two sizes - 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches - in a sophisticated design with impressive camera upgrades and groundbreaking new safety capabilities.

Check PriceĪs October’s selection, this bag of beans commemorates Operation Gothic Serpent, an event that took place 30 years ago on October 3rd, 1993. Subscribers get the chance to savor the finest, small-batch roasts, often not found in their regular selection. The Exclusive Coffee Subscription by Black Rifle Coffee offers a special experience for coffee connoisseurs, delivering rare and seasonal coffee blends right to your doorstep. The Mircolot No.49 – Gothic Serpent was by far my favorite, and for good reason. Moving on, let’s look at the Exclusive Coffee Subscription box, which had a 12-ounce bag of BRCC’s latest specialty micro-lot coffee. The sweet spice acted as a background to the strong and dark flavor, creating a truly tasty cup. This boldness was nothing compared to the actual taste, which was also rich, nutty, and chocolatey. When brewing this coffee, I noticed that the aroma was nutty, dark, and lightly spiced. Although, you won’t find much bitterness in this cup. With bold flavor notes of dark chocolate, walnut, and anise, it’s not hard to see why it ranks so high. Next up is Freedom Fuel, which is a dark roast coffee that ranks an 8 on the BRCC roast scale of 1-10. With every sip, you can taste the commitment to quality and support for the military and first responders that Black Rifle Coffee is known for. Freedom Fuel Coffee Roast by Black Rifle Coffee is a tribute to American patriotism, delivering a robust, medium-dark roast that embodies the spirit of freedom. Cook your way through this collection of dishes for a taste of celebrated chef Thomas Keller at home. The recipes he's contributed to Food & Wine span the styles found at his various outposts: We have comfort food recipes in the vein of Ad Hoc inventive, elevated dishes like the ones found at The French Laundry and even a Bouchon-inspired quiche. Thomas Keller is known for applying American flavors to French classics. Keller went on to open several more restaurants, including Bouchon, Per Se, and Ad Hoc both The French Laundry and Per Se hold three Michelin stars. By 20, The French Laundry ranked number one among the World's 50 Best Restaurants. The James Beard Foundation named Thomas Keller the Best California Chef in 1996 and the Best Chef in America in 1997. It wasn't long before Keller learned about a certain restaurant space for sale in Napa Valley in July of 1994, The French Laundry opened its doors. Keller left Rakel for California in 1990 when his business partner decided to take the restaurant in a different direction amid an economic downturn. At that time, he was cooking at his first restaurant, Rakel in New York City Andrew Zimmern was a line cook there, and Tom Colicchio was a sous chef. Even under the French Laundry moniker, there’s really no better way to start a day.Food & Wine began naming Best New Chefs in 1988, and Thomas Keller was among the first group to receive the honor. French Laundry Executive Chef Thomas Keller right gives The Miller family from Walnut Creek a tour of the kitchen as they celebrated their daughters 17th birthday. Three Michelin-starred restaurants are in the spirit of transforming themselves. This spring, for instance, Las Alcobas Napa Valley will open around Acacia House, the highly anticipated new restaurant from chef Chris Cosentino.Īs for Keller’s place, we certainly hope guests awaken each morning to fresh croissants and pastries from Bouchon Bakery down the street. Keller is the chef/owner of multiple three-star Michelin restaurants including The French Laundry in Napa Valley, and Per Se in New York, as well as many other. Thomas Keller working in the kitchen of The French Laundry in Yountville, California. There are other great restaurant/hotel blends on the horizon. This early iteration of The French Laundry was innovative, pioneering the set menu format in the Bay area alongside Alice Waters Chez Panisse. Before that, another Healdsburg restaurant, the now-defunct Cyrus, sat beneath a handful of uber-deluxe rooms at Les Mars Hotel. Contrary to common belief, The French Laundry existed before Thomas Keller bought it the restaurant was first opened by Sally and Don Schmitt in 1978. Bouchon’s seasonal menu and raw bar selections change throughout the year, while staples like roasted chicken, steak frites, and rainbow trout remain as year-round favorites. As we reported in December, chef Kyle Connaughton and his wife, Katina, opened Single Thread, a fine-dining restaurant in Healdsburg, with a five-room inn upstairs. Chef Thomas Keller’s Bouchon offers quintessential French bistro fare with Keller’s unfailing attention to detail in both ingredients and presentation. He and his landmark Napa Valley restaurant, The French Laundry in Yountville, California, have won multiple awards from the James Beard Foundation, notably the Best California Chef in 1996, and the Best Chef in America in 1997. He has authored five cookbooks inspired by his restaurants. Keller certainly wouldn’t be the first in California wine country to pair a great restaurant with a small hotel or inn.
