Katy Perry ditches the latex and lollipops for a soulful acoustic performance of her new ballad on the X Factor

Acoustic: Katy Perry transformed her usual stage presence for a soulful performance of her new single The One That Got Away on the X Factor

Her fans are accustomed to her prancing around in colourful latex costumes on a stage filled with oversized cartoon-like fruit and sweets.

But Katy Perry ditched the extravagant staging for her surprisingly paired down performance on the X Factor tonight.

Katy played her guitar and sang with two back-up singers for her new single, ballad The One That Got Away.


Something missing? Twitter users were quick to point out that the singer was without her wedding ring, but it was back in place later when the singer exited the building

The 26-year-old had her hair, back to pink, curled into a Forties style 'do and wore an unusually simple outfit of white short-sleeved shirt and black trousers.

But eagle-eyed fans on Twitter were quick to note that she was not wearing her wedding ring.

But the ring was back in place shortly afterwards, when Katy signed autographs for fans after the show.



Soulful: The ballad was a departure from her usual upbeat pop tracks

The song is a departure from Perry's uptempo pop tracks, and saw the singer show off her raw talent as she harmonised with her band.

Katy was pictured filming the music video for The One That Got Away earlier in the month, made up to look like an old woman.

Katy has been performing her new single as a mash-up with Adele's hit song Someone Like You at a number of her UK concerts.



Cartoon motion: Her fans are more accustomed to seeing Katy in colourful, larger-than-life stage settings



Boy band: The Wanted performed their new single Lightning

Perry told X Factor host Dermot O'Leary after her performance that last night she completed the 95th show on her California Dreams tour at London's O2 Arena.

Next up, the Teenage Dream hitmaker is on to Liverpool. Judge Gary Barlow offered some advice on nightlife in the north, telling Katy to visit nightclub Grafton - which is actually shut down.

Also performing tonight was The Wanted, who sang their new single Lightning.

It was recently announced she is set to join the cast of hit BBC1 show Waterloo Road.

And after getting a bit too hot following an afternoon of relaxing in the balmy weather, Roxanne coolled off with a quick shower by the pool.

Despite looking fantastic in her pretty polkadot bikini, Roxanne said recently she's not a fan of diet, and could never reduce her food intake because she loves eating too much.

She said: 'I'm really normal about food. In this industry I've seen girls have a real issue about eating. But I came from a home where no one spoke about weight or dieting and it was a triumph if you got seconds.

'Thankfully, I love food and enjoy everything about it!'


Having fun: Roxanne appeared to be enjoying herself as she soaked in the sunshine by her hotel pool

Former Dancing On Ice contestant Roxanne also credits regular exercise for helping her stay in shape.

'I enjoy going on power walks with my mum, Monica and I do my tummy exercises every day, to keep my stomach toned.'


Cooling off: After an afternoon of sunbathing, Roxanne cooled off with a quick shower before heading inside

Finding the Best Hosting Control Panel

By Gregory Trune

Your web host provider will offer you a control panel and this will enable you to better manage your site. The control panel is where a user can look after their entire site and holds information on statistics, traffic, hosting functions, access to FTP, email account access, domain issues and the ability to manage files, amongst much more.

There are a number of different control panels available in the market. These include Cpanel which is among the most popular, Hostopia, Sphera, Ensim, VDeck, NextGenCP etc. They all differ in their look and feel as well as functions. Web hosts usually have their own control panel preferences, which depend upon the platforms they use. The control panels are selected according to their features and ability to perform on a particular platform.

Basic features that you can expect to find in a control panel are as follows:

CGI Center

Parked Domains

Network Tools

MIME Types

File Manager

Index Manager

FTP Manager

How easy a control panel is to use is a good way of noticing the difference between them. A panel such as Plesk is really simple to use whereas the functionality of cPanel is highly regarded. To make the best choice between these control panels, it helps to know the strengths and weaknesses of them. What follows is a brief overview of the control panels:

cPanel:

This is found on Linux systems, it does not provide Windows or OSX support but it does cater for more than 10 versions of Linux. cPanel enables users to take control of their site and is useful for using MySQL databases and organizing email account management.

The range of features and functions provided by cPanel is higher than many services available today and this diversity and price are key reasons in why cPanel is so popular.

Plesk:

Plex is available for Linux and Windows web hosting servers where cPanel is not. Many users find it helpful that Plex has an interface similar to Windows XP. The control panel looks good and offers many features available in cPanel. It can enable any user to build their own site with easy to sue tool. It offers many features but it may be viewed as more expensive than other products, especially cPanel.

H-Sphere:

Many users appreciate HSphere. Similar to Plesk, it is compatible with Windows and Linux. Many functions are provided including the ability to have complete automation and many key functionalities but it offers less than Plesk or cPanel.

DirectAdmin

If you want options that many control panels do not offer then DirectAdmin is for you. It has a wider range but it lacks some features that make Plesk or cPanel so popular. It is also purely for a small number of Linux varieties but it is considerably cheaper than cPanel.

Ensim

Available for Windows and Linux, Ensim doesn't have a lot of features but it has an interface that is adequate.

Interworx

Again only for Linux, Interworx has impressive features like the site usage snapshot and a well presented interface.

Hosting Accelarator

This service is only for Windows and it can feel a bit cluttered which may overwhelm a number of users who are new to this style or technique.

Helm

A key feature of Helm is the ability to view bills within the control panel but it is only available on Windows.

CWIPanel

The CWIPanel aims for Windows server management. It is an average product.

InsPanel

This control panel has also been made only for windows based web hosting server. This is an average product with standard features.

There are many control panels but cPanel remains the favorite due to its cost, easy to use functions and wide range of features.

There have been recent developments in control panels and Pandela.com have developed the NextGenCP control panel. It has been a few years in the making but it looks very good.

You can tell that modern internet technology has shaped this product. It is simple to use and has been created specifically for web hosting clients.

Slim Band Surgery can be a great way for many people to lose the unwanted weight that they have.

You should find out about how the surgical procedure is performed, the results, side effects and possible complications, how to prepare for the surgery, and what you have to do during the recovery period.

2. At times a person may learn that they are going to have to avoid certain items. Some of those could even be medication that they are taking, but a person should consult with a doctor to ensure they are stopping the proper things.

3. Smoking or drinking should be stopped a couple of weeks before the surgery. Doing that can decrease the amount of complications that you may end up facing during the surgery.

4. Because the surgery is only about an hour and you will be able to go home that day, it is important to have someone drive you home after the surgery. Also, you will need to have some one with you to help during your recovery period.

5. Ensure that you have all the medications that you will need during the recovery period. The medicine should be close to you and that will help you in getting to them without straining yourself. You will also need to remember that you will not be able to engage in any strenuous work for 6 weeks, but after three weeks you may be able to start with your normal activities. Just make sure that you follow the doctor's advice on this aspect to ensure success of the surgery.

6. Clothing can be important to consider as well. That is because a person needs to have some loose fitting items to wear the day of the surgery. Then they will not have to worry about the clothing putting pressure on the incision while it is fresh.

7. Eating the correct food is going to be important and a person's doctor will probably set them up on a diet plan that they can do. It is also important to take care of anything that will require physical activities before the surgery, such as exercising, hair cuts, or shopping. These activities will have to be stopped during the recovery.

Slim band surgery is a great way for many people to lose the excess weight that they have. However, it is surgery and that means that it may have some risks. However, as with any surgery a person needs to be prepared for the surgery properly to ensure they have a great recovery period.
