Aerosmith once pulled the ultimate rock star prank on touring pals Mott the Hoople by trashing their hotel room and locking them inside.
Steven Tyler and Joe Perry admits they got up to all kinds of mischief when they were on the road with Ian Hunter's band and one post-show project included trying to fit everything in a hotel suite through a TV frame.
And Tyler tells U.S. chat show host Jimmy Kimmel the fun stopped after police caught up with Aerosmith at an airport .
He explains, "They (Mott the Hoople) all fell asleep because we were bliss drunk (and) I went and locked the door… and went out through the window, locked the door from the inside. So, in the morning when they opened up the door to the police or whoever, we wouldn't get blamed.
Aerosmith stars Steven Tyler and Joe Perry and R&B singer John Legend inducted into the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame on Saturday night (22Jun13).
The musicians were all honoured during a star-studded concert at the Los Angeles venue to mark the beginning of the summer concert season.
Actress Angela Basset hosted the event, and presenters included Glee star Darren Criss and funnyman Arsenio Hall, while music legend Stevie Wonder was on hand to induct Legend.
Jazz singer Patti Austin was also among the inductees.
The event raised money for the Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra and the organisation's music education program for youngsters.
Songwriters Hall of Fame Announces 2013 Inductees – Steven Tyler & Joe Perry, Mick Jones & Lou Gramm and more!
Musical titans Tony Hatch, Mick Jones & Lou Gramm, Holly Knight, JD Souther andSteven Tyler & Joe Perry will become the latest inductees of the Songwriters Hall of Fame at the organization's 44th Annual Induction and Awards Dinner. These legendary songwriters wrote such mega-hits as "Downtown," "I Want To Know What Love Is," "Love Is A Battlefield," "Best Of My Love" and "Dude (Looks Like A Lady)." The star-studded induction event is slated forThursday, June 13th at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. Additional special award honorees will be announced soon.


My first experimental psychology project focused on inequity and its affect on productivity. From this, I gained an interest in inequity, namely in the areas of gender and sexual-orientation based discrimination.
My projects pertaining to heterosexism focused on perceptions of homosexual law enforcement and the roots of homophobia. The recent trend of suicides amongst homosexual teenagers shows there is a dire need for acceptance and study in this area.
Many of my research projects focused on gender based issues and discrimination. One area I found particularly troubling and in need of special attention is mothers in prisons.
I studied social inequities during my undergraduate from the perspective of Criminology and Psychology. I finished my degree feeling that tackling social inequities requires frameworks and solutions that are more complex than current models and methods of inquiry employed by these disciplines. For example, my experience working within the often-strict quantitative rubric of Psychology has illustrated that greater flexibility is needed to understand human behaviour. Human beings are neither objective nor predictable, thus it seems relevant to consider qualitative methods as well as quantitative.
One of my final courses was The Philosophy of the Social Sciences (SA-358), which explores philosophical and methodological issues. This course showed me that understanding and evaluating ontological assumptions and using relevant research methods are critical to examining complex social issues. Through this course I found critical and feminist perspectives to be most inclusive when dealing with issues involving inequity. If admitted to the Masters program I would potentially like to concentrate on using feminist and critical perspectives to further my understanding of heterosexism and gender based discrimination in health care policy.
Several of my undergraduate degree projects focused on heterosexism and gender based discrimination, but in the domain of positivism using quantitative methods. I would like to work with faculty members who are involved in the Centre for the Study of Gender, Social Inequities and Mental Health or CARMHA, both of which embody the principles, perspectives, and research interests mentioned above.
I am excited about the diversity of research interests and approaches within Health Sciences. I feel the Faculty of Health Sciences is an environment that can help push my understandings and skills regarding inequities to another level by facilitating application of the above mentioned frameworks in a new domain. In particular, I believe I could achieve my degree goals under the mentorship of Dr. Marina Morrow or Dr. Benedikt Fischer given their research records. However, I am willing to work with other faculty members whose interests are coincidental with my undergraduate training and academic interests.

[Flame][Homescreen]Can't enter "Add Smart Collections" view after user uncheck "Remember my choice" and select "Don't share" in App permission page.
[Flame][v2.1][Homescreen]Long press Homescreen and select "Add Smart Collections" for the first time,  uncheck "Remember my choice" and select "Don't share" in App permission page, it will go back to Homescreen.
1.Long press homescreen and select "Add Smart Collections" for the first time.
2.Uncheck "Remember my choice" and select "Don't share" in App permission page.
2.It should enter "Add Smart Collections" view.
2.It will go back to Homescreen.
Okay, I see what's happening here.
When the user selects "Add Smart Collections", apps/collection/js/create_collection.js calls eme.init(), which returns a promise.
The eme.init() function is in shared/js/everythingme/eme.js, which calls device.init() in shared/js/everythingme/device.js, which calls navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition, which prompts the user to ask if they want to share their location.
But if the user says "Don't share", the promise returned by eme.init() is rejected. The code in create_collection.js doesn't do anything if the promise is rejected, leading to this bug.
However, bug 1118891 removed the geolocation request from device.js, so this bug doesn't actually happen anymore, so I'm resolving bug as this as WONTFIX.

Legolas is a bachelor once again! Orlando Bloom and wife Miranda Kerr have called it quits after only two years of marriage. In Touch has confirmed that the twosome have decided to take a break. Says an insider, "Right now they're separated. They're living apart and figuring out what they want to do next. They're not on the same page anymore." In recent weeks Kerr has been seen out without her wedding ring and there had been reports of discord between the couple ever since baby Flynn was born.
Sorry Miranda, but having a baby just can't save a marriage. A man's dream is to marry a Victoria's Secret Model, but clearly Orlando couldn't visualize the family aspect of a marriage and has jumped ship. It is no secret that he adores his son, but he is not willing to play the role of stay-at-home dad. Orlando is young and work is his priority right now. Miranda on the other hand wants mothering to be her full time job. Sigh…rich people problems.
Gossip Cop has attempted to put the kibosh on that story by claiming sources close to Bloom and Kerr have called the story false. That source goes on to say that the couple have plans to spend the holidays together and the only reason why they are in fact living apart right now is because Miranda is modeling in New York while Orlando is on the other side of the world in Africa filming his next movie Zulu.
Yeah, yeah, those are just semantics. These two are over. Miranda tried to have a marriage saver, Flynn, but it didn't work and now Orlando is moving on to bigger and probably younger women.
What do you think readers? Are these two really over or is their PR team just creating some drama to get them back in the spotlight?

Moritz Braunhart discusses his exploits in the German Army on this postcard to his parents in Schubin.
Although Moritz suffered from depression and ultimately committed suicide, he often displays a sense of humor in his writings and writes often to his parents and siblings, so he is a bit of enigma.
We do not have all of his letters and postcards translated as let - but we do know by the dates that he did serve in World War I, and thus we do not know the ultimate mental (and physical) damage that war did to him.
It is interesting though, that he served in Grimma as noted in this postcard, which is quite geographically close to Leipzig where he lived after the war, and it seems for many years of his life.
Please tell me whether they took Karl and Philip.
Sooner or later, no one who is only a little useful will be spared from this wonderful sport.
I feel good in the military - Overleaf are the new members of my club.
Looks like a bootblack society. ...us all ....proud .....write back soon.
What is the reference to Karl and Philip? And what is "this wonderful sport"? He couldn't mean bootblacking?
I'm learning how to pick out Moritz from a group in a photograph. He's the one with his foot resting on a small box, right?
"Yes, Moritz is 3rd from the right, front row, foot resting on a box, above the X. The 'wonderful sport' is the military, and he's asking if brothers Karl & Philipp have gone to the military as well, IMO."

WHEN DESIGNER RICHA Bahl set out to do the interiors for actor Alia Bhatt's new home in Mumbai, the brief was clear—white-washed walls, muted lights, expansive views, greenery and lots of space for her furry friends, Edward, Sheeba and Pica. The cat-crazy sisters, Alia and Shaheen, wanted a New-York style, pet-friendly apartment that would be open to parties and yet have these little corners for cozy conversations and plentiful reading. "Like many other first-time homeowners of their age, the Bhatt sisters wanted their place to have a boho chic feel. So, we introduced vintage flooring and some fun elements like neon signs, pendant lights, floral sofas and printed rugs. They both travel a lot, so we have given them scope to add a few new things every now and then," explains Bahl, who has been busy curating homes for the young and the affluent across India.
Be it Shanghai, New York or Delhi, millennials world over are creating spaces with fluid boundaries—homes that can be turned into party pads over weekends and serve as co-working spaces on other days. While the exteriors do matter, they prefer to invest heavily in luxury kitchens, fancy floorings and smart home systems. "We are talking about the internet generation, which wants everything at the click of a button. They define luxury homes as places that offer great functionality and are high on design. Millennials give a lot of importance to individualisation, and that reflects in their personal space, too," says Bahl, who has carved out these interesting little nooks like a library and a tea bar for Alia and Shaheen at their home in Juhu. "The tea bar is the highlight at their place. Both of them love collecting tea from all over the world, so we have made this corner with wooden barstools where they can enjoy an evening cuppa together. Within the bar, there are lots of kettles, and we have given them the space to build up on their hobby. It is a good, happy clutter," says Bahl. She also had to keep in mind the dressing room for Alia. "When she is getting ready, it is not just her in the room; there is the stylist and the makeup people and an army of helpers. So, we designed a proper place to accommodate everyone," she says.

Q: GKTurnBasedMatch in a new game can i wait until another player has accepted my invitation? I'm writing the multiplayer part of a turn based game,i'm using game center to manage the matches. Starting a new game with GKTurnBasedMatch do not send immediatly the invite notification to the other player. To send the notification i have to made my move and end first turn... Can i modify this behaviour? I wanna made my first turn only if the other player has already accept my invitation.

A: One way of appearing to do this would be to add a value in the NSData, say an int, that remembers what turn number it is.  Start your game, then end your turn immediately without showing anything to the user.  All it does is increments the turn number.  When the other player accepts, if the turn number says its the second turn, increment the turn number again, and end their turn.  Continue this end-increment-end pattern until the first player receives the turn back, then start playing normally, with all players having accepted the invitations and officially joined the game.
I do not recommend doing this, as this can cause a significant delay in the play time for the players who are ready to begin.  They may expect it from your game eventually, but the standard pattern has a shorter apparent waiting time for the players to begin playing.

A: You can check the status property of the other participant who is of class GKTurnBasedParticipant. If its status continues to be GKTurnBasedParticipantStatusInvited, forbid yourself from opening the game controller and display an alert.

Obama Endorses Australian-Style Gun Confiscation
The President even went as far as praising Australia's gun confiscation program, claiming that "very severe" gun laws have helped the country.
"Couple of decades ago, Australia had a mass shooting, similar to Columbine or Newtown," Obama said. "And Australia just said, well, that's it, we're not doing, we're not seeing that again, and basically imposed very severe, tough gun laws, and they haven't had a mass shooting since."
Earlier that day, White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters that the President is "always" looking for ways to "unilaterally" act on gun control.
"The president's goal is to look for opportunities to act administratively, unilaterally using his executive authority to try to make our communities safer," Earnest said.
In reality, the President's comments and actions once again conflict with actual statistics regarding gun crimes.

Imagine what he would do if the Republicans in the House were not blocking him?
DJohn1
That is part of the problem. I think the Republicans are afraid of him. They are too willing to negotiate compromises.
I find it very suspicious that all the problems disappear after gun control. What exactly does that say about trigger events from behind the scenes letter agencies and prescription drugs?
Australia is also mostly in cities on the Eastern Coast. How about people in the outback? Are they without guns also?
An invasion would keep people without guns from acting. So the entire place could go under as fast as a task force could go from coast to coast. Think I will pass on living there.
Lots of luck protecting the country from an invader.
And actually overall crime has gotten much worse in Australia since their gun ban went into effect.
Do they outlaw knives, crossbows, bows, and other such weapons as well?
I know that the UK outlaws knives, but I don't think that is the case in Australia.
But I could be wrong.
I brought my Dad's pocket knife back from the UK after his funeral. He also had a St. Christopher Medal he kept all through WWII. I got that too. I did pack the knife in my luggage so that security did not go off or something like that.
I believe that Angels look after us. The medal is a symbol of that guidance by the good lord's servants.
As to enforcing such rules outside the cities, that is an open joke. Most ranchers could show you nests of the most venomous snakes known to man in the outback of Australia. There is a legitimate need for proper weapons in the outback.
Citizens of the UK are sheep for the most part. Other parts of the empire, not so much. The UK has a serious overpopulation problem. The only other place I have seen people packed so thick is Hong Kong.

SIERRA LEONE - 17. March 2017 - Christian Pastor Emmanuel Momoh has discovered a giant 706-carat diamond in Yakadu village, in eastern Sierra Leone. The country's eastern Kono region is known for its rich diamond mines. The pastor also works as a miner.
This huge diamond is one of the 20 largest uncut diamonds that's ever been found in the world. The diamond was handed over to Sierra Leone's President, who has promised that it will be all handled transparently and the stone will be sold at an international auction to the highest bidder. It is expected that the price will fetch over 50 million British pounds.
Sierra Leone is one of the richest countries in gemstones, which can be found in roughly one quarter of the country. Despite its gemstone riches, this 6-million people African country is one of the five poorest in the world, according to the UN. Diamonds illegal trade is widespread.
The country went through a decade-long civil war, from 1991 to 2002. Take a look at this 4 and a half minute long video about Diamond Mining in Sierra Leone, made in 2012.


But it does feel nice have a goal that I can aim for. I'm definitely one of those people that gets more done when I have a clearly laid out plan. In some ways, planning everything out can be a bad thing because I end up taking too much time, but I find that it saves time in other ways, especially in the long run, when I take a little longer to organize.
At any rate, I have a question for y'all! I'm quite torn about which way I want to go for teaching some of the more complicated aspects of knitting/crochet. When I'm learning a new technique, I like watching videos on the subject more than reading written tutorials with pictures. It feels easier for me to commit it to memory if I can see the action actually being performed, and I often have a hard time following along with only pictures to guide me. But that may just be me.
So my question is, when you're learning something new, do you prefer a video or a picture tutorial? I made this handy poll so that you can tell me your opinion in two quick clicks, but if you don't mind elaborating on your choice in the comments, I'd love to read that as well!
I want this to turn into something useful.
It's been over a week since I've written a post and I feel so bad!
I've been working hard on two new knitting patterns, and I've been so focused on those that I haven't thought to write anything. But I do have a project that I'm finishing up and excited to share. Hopefully that will be up within a couple days.
In the meantime, I've been thinking really hard about which direction I want my blog to move in. Of course I intend to continue posting patterns, projects, and general yarn-related chitchat, but I've always been the type of person who wants to help others. I wanted from the beginning to use my blog to help others in some way, and I think that a plan is starting to form.
It wasn't very long ago when I found myself venturing into the yarn section for the first time. I can remember clearly how I felt when I came face-to-face with all the brands, types, and weights that were for sale. It was intimidating, to say the very least.


Hubert was born on November 20th 1880, the only son of stockbroker Zephaniah Simpson and his wife, Lucy. He joined Dulwich in May 1892, having previously been at North End House School, Kensington, and was an Alleynian for the next three and a half years. After leaving at the end of 1895 he went to work in the shipping industry, originally being apprenticed to the Shaw, Savill & Albion Line with whom he qualified as a master in 1903. Shortly afterwards, however, the onset of near-sightedness necessitated a change of career and he subsequently joined the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company where he was eventually made Purser, serving aboard the R.M.S.P. Arcadian. In 1897 he had enlisted in the Royal Naval Reserve, being promoted to Sub-Lieutenant in 1903; his near-sightedness had necessitated a transition to a non-combatant role and in 1910 he became an Assistant Paymaster.
When war broke out in 1914 Hubert was called up by the Royal Naval Reserve and assigned to H.M.S. Hawke. That October the ship was on patrol off the coast of Scotland, near Aberdeen, when it was sunk by a German U-boat with the loss of the majority of hands on board, including Hubert.

Ofcom demands partial separation of BT and Openreach
Written by Tim Skinner
Ofcom has ruled that Openreach will become an independent legal entity from BT, but stopped short of the complete separation much of the industry is calling for.
The ruling is the most significant step taken so far in the protracted saga over BT's ownership of wholesale broadband provider Openreach. Ofcom has been very vocal in its displeasure at the running of Openreach this year, with the regulator saying on multiple occasions that BT has failed to ensure quality of service to its own consumers and wholesale broadband customers. It has also repeatedly stated that BT's ownership has led to chronic underinvestment in network infrastructure.
Earlier this month, MPs from the Culture, Media and Sport Committee too vocalised their objections to BTs management practises, saying that unless significant and immediate reform was undertaken, they would fully back Ofcom to enforce a complete separation of the two entities.
Today's announcement is a half-step to a separation. Ofcom said Openreach now needs to become its own legal entity, with an independently-hired board to which a new CEO shall be accountable. The new-look Openreach will run independently from BT, with no associated BT branding and complete responsibility over its own balance sheet.
One of Ofcom's biggest gripes was how profit made by Openreach was being used by BT. Ofcom went so far as to accuse BT of not reinvesting Openreach's profits back into its network or general QoS. With the proposed revised structure put forward by Ofcom today; Openreach profit will be kept distinctly separate from the general BT profit and loss (P&L), thus further incentivising reinvestment in the network and its level of service.
Is Ofcom to partially separate Openreach from BT?
Yes - but should have gone further. BT should be forced to sell up (47%, 17 Votes)
No - regulators get too involved in the market (28%, 10 Votes)
Yes - separate management teams is the right idea (25%, 9 Votes)
Sort of - it's a little heavy handed (0%, 0 Votes)
Ofcom says these steps should all add up to Openreach making decisions for the good of the wider telecoms industry and its customers. Crucially, the regulator is still threatening a complete split from Openreach if BT is incapable of achieving more genuine independence and impartiality, as well as greater investment and quality of service.
BT has appropriately taken Ofcom's notice and responded by stating the work it is currently undertaking in shaking up Openreach. In a statement, BT referred to its £6 billion infrastructure investment, a chunk of which will be directed to Openreach's infrastructure. The operator also said it will be working closely with Ofcom to ensure governance and compliance measures are met for the newer, more independent Openreach, as well as looking to the regulator to review its pricing structure. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly for its competitors, BT will be commencing a formal three stage process to consult with its customers on how and where investment can be made.
"We have listened to Ofcom and industry and are introducing significant changes to meet their concerns," said BT Group Chief Executive Gavin Patterson. "These changes will make Openreach more independent and transparent than it is today, something both Ofcom and industry have requested.
"Proportionality has to underpin any regulatory solution and we believe our proposals are a bold and appropriate response to the concerns outlined by Ofcom and others. We have considered the more extreme solutions proposed by others but they would be overly complex, disproportionately costly and time consuming to implement. They would also undermine Openreach's ability to invest and create years of uncertainty."
Ofcom's new plans are open to responses and views from the industry until the 4th of October; and the regulator is, for now, hesitant to enforce a full split of BT from Openreach due to the financial, legal and regulatory impact. General opinion suggests today's announcement is a half-step to Ofcom's ultimate aim of separating BT from Openreach. Some of BT's most vocal rivals said the regulator didn't go far enough and only a complete uncoupling will do, with others saying a partial separation is the only realistic step Ofcom could have taken at this stage.
Full industry reaction is below.
Matt Howett, Practice Leader, Ovum
"In many ways, a voluntary agreement between Ofcom and Openreach, which is backed by the rest of the industry, would achieve more than years in court and a forced enhanced model of separation could. Many of the things proposed by Ofcom, and that are being offered by BT, could be enacted within months. Attention and money could then turn to getting on with delivering what this review is ultimately all about – making sure Britain has the broadband infrastructure fit for the next decade.
"Nevertheless, for some, only full structural separation will be enough and it is important to note that Ofcom have kept this option on the table should its proposed model not deliver. Given the enormous costs and uncertainties, coupled with the weight of evidence, for Ofcom to proceed with structural separation now would be a disproportionate response, even if it could be practically delivered."
Mark Collins, Director Strategy & Policy, CityFibre
"Fundamentally, today's proposals do not address Ofcom's key objectives of reducing the country's dependence on Openreach and encouraging essential investment in fibre. Whilst correctly identifying Openreach as the principal source of the industry's dysfunction, it is hypocritical of Ofcom to focus on a restructured Openreach as a panacea.
"Further debate and navel-gazing as to the appropriate structure of BT will continue to create a period of uncertainty at a time when the industry needs clarity, direction and competitive investment. Openreach has a critical role to play, but it is not prudent to entrust them with sole responsibility for our digital future."
Jeremy Darroch, Group Chief Executive, Sky
"Today's proposal to create a legally separate Openreach is a step in the right direction, although falls short of the full change that would have guaranteed the world-class broadband network customers expect and the UK will need. In particular, leaving Openreach's budget in the hands of BT Group raises significant questions as to whether this will really lead to the fibre investment Britain requires."
Dan Howdle, Telecoms Expert, Cable.co.uk
"This move is clearly the first in a multi-stage process toward severing Openreach from the BT Group completely. If permanent separation were to happen, existing staff would need to be reassigned, a new board appointed, budgets allotted, and it would need to become discreet owner of its existing infrastructural assets – all of which is exactly what is happening today. Full separation is now inevitable."
Kester Mann, Principal Analyst, Operators at CCS Insight
"Ofcom's proposals are about as radical and stringent as they could have been without taking the ultimate step to structurally separate Openreach from BT. They show clear focus to address flaws within the current model and a desire to bolster broadband infrastructure service and deployment in the UK.
"The decision not to force BT to split Openreach comes as little surprise. It would have been the most controversial action the regulator could have taken and would still not have offered guaranteed improvements for customers. Indeed, the time to implement, associated costs and market disruption – potentially leading to years of legal battles – would have threatened short-term infrastructure investment.
"Although BT will breathe a sigh of relief that Openreach will remain a part of the group, Ofcom's strongly-worded statement should leave it under no illusions that it needs to up its game. Indeed, the threat to hive off Openreach still remains if it is unable to act more independently from the BT group.
"Inevitably, BT's rivals will criticise Ofcom for being too lenient. But although they campaigned hard for formal independence, today's outcome still represents a partial victory. Structural separation was always a long-shot and companies such as Sky and TalkTalk will stand to benefit from greater infrastructure investment, customer service and independence.
"Today's announcement doesn't draw a line under this controversial and protracted issue. Ofcom is now opening a consultation on its proposals and by inviting further comments from interested parties, so expect the next round of lobbying to soon commence. In the interest of stability and market certainty, the sooner final plans can be drawn up and implementation gets underway the better."
Jaime Fink, Co-Founder at Mimosa
"BT has come under increasing pressure from politicians and the industry to divest its broadband infrastructure division. Its competitors claim BT Openreach provides the UK incumbent with an unfair advantage and that it hasn't been investing enough to improve the quality of its service. This has led to Ofcom granting Openreach greater independence and autonomy, giving the company more control over its future investment and direction.
"Despite today's ruling, the infrastructure problems facing the UK market that prevent the rollout of a nationwide next-generation broadband network still remain. The DSL (cable) foundations that underpin much of the UK's broadband network simply do not offer the bandwidth to support today's internet applications and meet the demands of tomorrow's increasingly data rich services. The roll-out of fibre also continues to present challenges in rural and dense urban areas, where the cost and disruption of digging trenches to lay fibre-optic cabling has left many areas to contend with legacy, low-performance broadband solutions.
"Openreach must look at new technologies that can enable it to profitably deliver a sustainable broadband network. The company will have its eyes on the U.S., where new market challengers, such as Google and Facebook, are selecting alternative broadband solutions like fixed wireless, to better connect their customers. The technology can deliver fibre-like broadband connectivity in any environment, without the cost or disruption of its cabled alternatives. Today's ruling presents a fantastic opportunity for new broadband solution providers to make their voices heard, and ensure that Openreach takes its strategies in new bold directions for the benefit of the UK marketplace."
