Saxony Suit Fall Fashions Apparel Arts 1930s
Today, we would like to present a beautiful fashion illustration from Apparel Arts 1935 that shows the influence of typical country clothing on town wear. We will also analyze these silhouettes and learn why 8 inch long side vents became so popular that year.
Fall Fashion – Apparel Arts Article
"THE fall season is the signal for the back-to-civilization movement, as far as the clothing industry is concerned. Sun-worshippers and outdoor addicts are by necessity forced back to the humdrum existence from which spring and summer rescued them. Into the discard go the light flannels, bright beach attire and all the rest of the informal clothing that make up the average summer wardrobe.
Staple merchandise in darker hues — blues, greys, browns — now take their place in the spotlight, if not the sunlight. Last year saw the break for the first time with the tradition of hard worsted materials for fall wear; the demand made by the consumer for a quite different type of clothing was tremendous. Retailers and manufacturers alike were astounded by the preference shown for sports and country type clothing. A whole new set of fashions and ideas were born many of which remained to attain full growth. In the wake of this reaction followed changes in other merchandise, such as shirts, hats and neckwear.
After a year of experimentation, definite types of clothing have emerged for specific purposes, so that today we find country clothes and town clothing being worn for the respective occasions for which they were designed. However, the feeling of nonchalance that prevails in country clothing has in some instances been transferred to town clothing with the result that, particularly in accessories, there is a more informal note.
The following is a summary of observations made at important fashion centers throughout the world, revealing new and interesting items for the fall season."
Suits For Fall
"BOTH single and double breasted suits have always been fashionable, but young men who are style conscious have, during the past year, shown a definite preference for the double breasted jacket."
The Double Breasted Suit Buttoned On the Lowest Button
"The model which increases daily in popularity with well-dressed men is the jacket that has the long roll lapel. This jacket was introduced in this country last year through Esquire and Apparel Arts. The main feature of the jacket, of course, is the long roll lapel, one side of the jacket buttoning on the bottom button. This necessitates the placing of the buttons higher than on the ordinary double breasted jacket. The middle buttons, which are usually at the waistline, are slightly above it. The pockets are in line with the lower buttons. These pockets, by the way; carry no flaps. The shoulders are broad but natural and the jacket is loose fitting but has a suggested waistline. The back of the jacket carries two eight-inch side vents. With this model, single or side vents are necessary because when a person is seated wearing it, there is a great strain on the lower button. Without a vent, the buttons would easily come off."
In our picture, the gentleman in the middle is wearing a double breasted dark blue worsted suit with soft tan madras shirt and a white starched widespread collar – which is sometimes referred to as a Winchester Shirt. He combines it with a black Spitalsfield tie, a classic white pearl stickpin and tops it off with a midnight blue Homburg hat and black plain toe calf shoes.
Side Vents On A Jacket –A New Idea Back Then
"There is a great deal of emphasis being put on side vents for both single and double breasted models for town as well as country wear. This fashion which first received favor in London last year, is rapidly being taken up by well-dressed men in this country and all retail establishments which have already shown this type of garment with side vents, have had great success with it. It is particularly suited to the double breasted jacket with the lapel rolled to the bottom button as well as single breasted suits of cheviots, Shetlands and other tweeds."
Peaked Lapel Single Breasted Suit
"The peak lapel, single breasted model does not carry any vents. There is a fullness at the chest as well as at the shoulder blades, but it is not so much as to give an over exaggerated appearance. This model is ideally made up in flannels, cheviots and other worsted materials. Nevertheless, many of them are made in the usual hard worsted fabrics.
With this suit, the six button, single breasted waistcoat is worn. The points at the bottom are cut sharply and the bottom button is always left open. The trousers are cut full with two pleats on each side of the waist. They are approximately twenty-three inches wide at the knee and nineteen inches wide at the cuffs."
I always adore old articles like this for their precise measurements and wealth of specific information. Compared to the marketing texts in current brochures, which use many words but don't seem to say anything substantive, these almost seem like passages of a book.
"Some years ago there was a vogue for the single breasted, peak lapel jacket. This model has become practically extinct in this country, but in England it is seen on mostly all single breasted suits and is referred to as a single breasted jacket with a double breasted lapel. However, with the constant publicity that well-dressed Englishmen are receiving today, it is likely that this jacket will once more become popular with various groups of well-dressed men in this country. It is a model that is ideally suited for more formal town occasions, because the double breasted lapel on the single breasted jacket helps to give a much dressier appearance to one's lounge suit.
This jacket has very similar lines to that of the notched lapel single breasted jacket described above. The lapels are short and stubby and roll very high. The shoulders are natural and there is a fullness at the chest and shoulder blades. It has a definite waistline and the jacket is cut rather long. However, this model has no vents and no flaps on the pockets. It is particularly suited to hard worsted materials. The waistcoat is the same as for the other suits mentioned, but well-dressed men in England prefer this model jacket with a double breasted waistcoat of the same material. The double breasted waistcoat has been seen on many well-dressed men in this country, but has never reached mass popularity."
The chap sitting on the right smoking his cigar wears a three-button peaked lapel dark grey worsted suit with a rare double breasted 6×3 waistcoat, a heliotrope – purple shirt with a matching starched collar, a black foulard tie with large white polka dots, and dark lavender hose with black clocks and plain black shoes.
The Single Breasted Suit With Notched Lapels
"The single breasted jacket for town wear has lines similar to those of the double breasted jacket. The three-button model is very important— particularly with a notched lapel. The newer jacket favors a very high roll so that the top button, although not buttoned, is easily visible. The collar is as wide, and in some cases wider, than the lapels. This jacket has regular pockets with flaps and very often a ticket pocket with a small flap. The back of the jacket carries center or side vents. The waistcoat and trousers are the same as those worn with the double breasted suit."
The man on the left pulls off a stunning three-button notched lapel brown Glen Urquhart Saxony suit in the exact configuration described above. For his shirt, he chose tan stripes on white with a classic tab collar and a green and brown regimental striped tie, brown silk foulard pocket square, black bowler/derby hat and black wing tip shoes. The accessory of choice is, of course, the umbrella.
This ensemble is very brown heavy with black accents on top and bottom, but nevertheless, it is a wonderful city outfit that relies heavily on brown tones without looking odd, while the bower and the black shoes add a touch city formality.
Worsted Cloth With A Rough Finish For The Season
"Hard worsteds, which were worn in town last year, are definitely in and the three models described here are types of clothing which will be seen in town again this coming fall. These will be worn in suitings of hard finished worsteds, cheviots and Saxonys. The hard finished worsteds will be featured in sharkskin and pin dot patterns with self and colored overplaids.
Cheviots will run more to grey and brown grounds with fine patterns. These will carry colored silk diagonals in the form of stripings and a single fabric carrying two or three alternating stripes. These same fabrics will also carry colorful over-plaids and many cheviots will be seen in brown and grey Glen Urquharts with colorful oversquares. The Saxony type of fabrics will run more towards large Glen Urquharts in greys and tans. Gun club checks in three colors will also be very popular. These more patterned suits will, of course, be worn in the three button single breasted notched lapel model. Brown will be the most important color in the softer fabrics for more informal town wear. Worsted flannels in chalk stripes in blue and black and dark grey grounds will still be popular. These will be seen mostly in double breasted models"
Raglan Overcoat
The blonde gentleman wears a fly front notched lapel raglan sleeve covert coat. Since this coat does not have an outer chest pocket, he cannot wear a pocket square, and so he decided to add a boutonniere to his overcoat for a finishing touch. His double breasted oxford grey cheviot jacket is paired with black and white shepherd's check sponge bag trousers, a blue pleated shirt with a white starched round club collar, a checked Spitalsfield tie, yellow chamois gloves, a derby hat and black blucher town shoes. The way he carries his umbrella was very common and looks very elegant, in my opinion. Sadly, hardly anyone knows how to accessorize with an umbrella in that manner at present.
The Spencer Jacket
Apart from the main characters in the picture, the server in the back deserves to be mentioned as well. He wears a white spencer jacket with four gold buttons on each side, peaked lapels and black collar and cuffs, probably made of velvet. His white single breasted waistcoat also has gold buttons and he wears a black bow tie with his white shirt. He pairs it with traditional tuxedo trousers in black, which have a black ribbon along the sides.
Spencer jackets are not very popular anymore, although you may see them on staff at the opera house and aboard a cruise ship or very exquisite restaurants with old world charm.
I hope you enjoyed the mix of an original 30's Apparel Arts article with my comments and hopefully you will feel more comfortable wearing more exciting plaid jackets and suits in the city and not always the plain dark ones!

well now that we're a month into 2011, i figured it would be a great time to do our year end wrap up for 2010...sheesh.
we decided on january 1st of 2010, that it was going to be "the year of the thompson's." cheesy, yes...but it turned out to be a pretty awesome year.
in january, we started really feeling the itch that it was time for a change. we weren't sure at first what it was, but we knew it involved bryce's job. at the end of january, we received one of the biggest (and clearest!) blessings from God: bryce was given the opportunity to go to work at reeder general contractors with our "texas family." (that's what we call the reeders because, well, we love them like family!) it was absolutely without-a-doubt in God's plan for us because the day we both decided that bryce should join rgc, we found out he was being laid off from his employer at the time. so on february 1st, 2010, we jumped on board with reeder and haven't looked back. it has been such an amazing experience for both of us: bryce gets to work with some awesome people and it has brought our families even closer. bryce and i always giggle because we're usually the only non-blood-relatives at all the reeder family functions:) it has also been an amazing learning experience for bryce and he (unlike a majority of the working world) actually enjoys going to work everyday.
in march, we celebrated our one year anniversary. we spent the entire weekend eating and drinking our way through fort worth. i still have trouble wrapping my mind around the fact that bryce and i have been together for almost nine years. on monday, march 15th, the day after our anniversary, we hit another milestone together: we found out we were pregnant. i will never forget the moment i saw the positive test. it was almost an out-of-body experience. i told bryce in the worst possible way because i was in shock: shoving the positive test in his face. for the next few days, we sat around dumbfounded that we were going to be parents. wow.
in april, we started spreading the news of our little nugget. if you want to read about how we told our parents, it's in some of the old blog postings.
the summer brought on a growing baby bump and preparation for nugget's arrival. we had decided we weren't going to learn the gender of our baby (and by we, i mean i wanted to know and bryce didn't), but quickly learned the bigger my belly got, the more we wanted to know. so in july, we opened up our manila envelope in our driveway to find out we were going to be bringing home a little girl come november.
august brought on super miserable texas heat and brought brittne (bryce's sister) home from her time as a missionary in peru. it was so great having her home where we could actually just call her up and talk to her!
the texas rangers made a push into the playoffs, and our house was filled with ranger fever. bryce and kevin dang near put life on hold for every game. our households were in a state of mourning for quite some time after the loss of the world series. we were finally able to piece our broken hearts back together to focus on OU football.
in november, nugget made her debut. two and a half weeks early, brice elisabeth thompson decided it was time to come on out and join the party. i cannot even begin to describe the pure joy this little, bitty (well, respectively seeing as how the little chunk weighed 8 pounds, 5 ounces) person has brought to our lives and our home. i always knew i would love my children, but i don't even think love is a strong enough word. she absolutely melts my heart every time i look at her sweet face. when she smiles at me, i am completely in awe of how amazing she is. it's true, she is "fearfully and wonderfully made" (psalm 139:14) and i will never be able to thank God enough for letting us be her mom and dad. not only has she brought me the joy of being a mother, she has strengthened our marriage. my love for my husband is deeper and richer than ever before. we have learned what it really means to be a team. he is my partner, my best friend, my support and the love of my life. bryce is such an amazing father and i cannot describe the pure joy i have when watching him with his little girl. before we had brice, it was hard for me to wrap my mind around what being parents would be like. now that she's here with us, i can't imagine our lives without her.
the holidays were especially exciting this year since we had our new addition with us. we went home for thanksgiving, but quickly learned that traveling is a completely different ball game with a little one in tow. for christmas, we made our families come to us and i have to admit it was awesome. not only did we get to spend time with our family, but we got to stay on our normal routine with b so we weren't exhausted/stressed out like we were at thanksgiving.
as it turns out, 2010 was a pretty awesome year for the thompson family. we are blessed beyond measure and are so thankful we have a loving God that gives us more than we need or deserve. we are surrounded by friends and family who make our world go round and we are so glad we had another year to spend with you all.
we are so excited for what 2011 will bring, so stay tuned...

Following a two-year hiatus Salt Lake City's SubRosa have resurfaced with the intact core lineup of Rebecca Vernon, Sarah Pendleton, and Kim Pack along with the addition of a new rhythm section consisting of bassist Christian Creek and Andy Patterson on Drums. 2011's sublime 'No Help for the Mighty Ones' was a doomy, post-apocalyptic journey that was equal parts beauty and despair. For the band's latest, 'More Constant Than the Gods', SubRosa have retained their otherworldly, atmospheric approach, though the soundscapes have a heightened nightmarish quality as if awaking from a dream only to realize what was tangible in sleep is disappointingly ungraspable in wakefulness. The balance and ultimate collapse between yearning and disenchantment provides a surreal tension for the duration of the band's latest.
From the beginning, what has separated SubRosa from other acts is the band's tasteful use of violin. The addition of a second violinist for their second full-length, 'No Help for the Mighty Ones', helped to elevate the band's overall sound to soaring new heights that effortlessly shifted from majestic ebbs-and-flows to melancholic, dirge-like meditations that were simply unattained on the band's initial outings 'The Worm Has Turned' demo and 'Strega'. Together, Pendleton and Pack have helped to transform SubRosa into the hauntingly beautiful entity that it is today. With 'More Constant Than the Gods' the violin duo take on an even more atmospheric role by providing a darker, more claustrophobic backdrop for Rebecca Vernon's voice and guitar to enact her shadowy, esoteric tales of death, doom, and decay which is best represented by the dizzying, phantasmagorical din of album highlight "Fat of the Ram". This nightmarish journey heaves and swells around the unmistakable guitar tone and vocals of Vernon who manages to exude glimmers of light as well as casting impenetrable shadows—a duality that SubRosa has managed capture perfectly on their latest release.
The six tracks of 'More Constant Than the Gods' have been painstakingly composed and each one flows as a unique eddy amidst the tumultuous current of the album. "Cosey Mo", perhaps the most straight-forward track of the release, is most representative of the sound attained on 'No Help for the Mighty Ones'. Similar to "Borrowed Time, Borrowed Eyes" in both sound and structure, "Cosey Mo" is carried by the distinct, heavy riffs of Vernon with the violins serving a similar accenting role. Not only has SubRosa released a darker album, but they have pushed their boundaries into new and exciting territories. While the final track, "No Safe Harbor", is the "softest" tune to be found on the album it is arguably the most interesting musically. Melancholic piano opens the track and is eventually joined by flute. Initially, what really elevates this track above being a mere diversion is the vocals and lyrics of Vernon who is eventually joined by Pack and Pendleton to stunning effect. As the track progresses the melancholia gives way to paranoia, torment, and defiant sacrifice with the inclusion of electric guitar, cello, tortured violins, and hammered dulcimer. What began as an ode of adoration, "For you I would give up mountains of gold/And possessions untold, health of body and of soul" turns woefully sour with the lines "A perfect mirror tells no lies/That's why I shattered you/The truest mirror in my life". Amidst the collection of haunting tales, "No Safe Harbor" is perhaps the most persistent and indelible of the lot.
Whether it was the break following the demise of the band in 2011 or simply the logical trajectory following the release of 'No Help for the Mighty Ones' that is ultimately responsible for the darker, more expansive sound of the newly invigorated SubRosa is uncertain. Regardless of the reasoning, the band has crafted an ominous, heart-rending release that sticks with the listener long after the album has stopped playing. While 'No Help for the Mighty Ones' was initially more gratifying and straight-forward—a relative concept as far as SubRosa is concerned—'More Constant Than the Gods' is a worthy successor of unparalleled depth that makes this one of the year's finest albums.

Singin' in the Rain A silent-screen swashbuckler... MORE > $7.85 Regularly $12.98 Buy Now blu-ray
powered by AFI
According to a February 5, 1951 Hollywood Reporter news item, Carleton Carpenter was to co-star in the film with Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds, and a March 19, 1951 news item noted that the husband-and-wife dancing team of Marge and Gower Champion were to start rehearsals "at the end of the month;" however, neither Carpenter nor the Champions were mentioned in the files on the film in the Arthur Freed Collection or the M-G-M Collection at the USC Cinema-Television Library. M-G-M files reveal that Reginald Gardner was sought for a role and that Nina Foch and Barbara Lawrence were tested for "Lina Lamont." Donald O'Connor was borrowed from Universal for his first M-G-M picture. News items also include Gloria Gordon, daughter of producer Leon Gordon, Carmen Clifford, Frances Meehan and Frankie Grandetta in the cast, but their appearance has not been confirmed. As noted in news items and modern sources, actress Gwen Carter, who is seen briefly in the party sequence, was then O'Connor's wife. Dancer/choreographer Jeanne Coyne was briefly married to director Stanley Donen prior to the film's production and married Kelly in 1960. Coyne and Kelly remained married until her death in 1973.
Of the film's numerous songs, only two were written especially for the film, "Make 'Em Laugh" which features O'Connor singing, dancing and doing comic acrobatic turns on a studio set, and "Moses" (also known as "Moses Supposes") in which Kelly and O'Connor sing and dance during a diction lesson. Other songs in the film were from the 1920s and 1930s, most of them previously featured in M-G-M musicals. The song "Singin' in the Rain" was first featured in the M-G-M musical Hollywood Revue of 1929, sung by Cliff "Ukele Ike" Edwards. The song is performed three times in the 1952 film, first in the opening credits, in which Kelly, O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds appear in yellow raincoats, carrying umbrellas; second, when Kelly sings and dances in a downpour; and finally, when "Lina," played by Jean Hagen, lipsyncs as Reynolds' "Kathy" sings at the premiere of The Dancing Cavalier.
The rendition of the song by Kelly, which takes place in a heavy rainfall manufactured on the studio's back lot, is one of the most famous musical numbers of all time. It has been included in many documentaries on the history of motion picture musicals, including the 1974 M-G-M film That's Entertainment, in which Kelly spoke about how the number was filmed. According to Kelly, he had a bad cold and a fever while performing the number. Modern sources have added that the equivalent of two city blocks were used on the studio back lot and pumped with hundreds of gallons of water. The number took seven days to film, with the artificial rain needed for six hours each day. Dancer Gwen Verdon has stated that she and Kelly's dance assistants, Coyne and Carol Haney, dubbed the sound of Kelly's taps and made splashing noises when the film was in post-production.
Other noteworthy numbers in the film include "Good Morning," in which Kelly, O'Connor and Reynolds sing and dance in "Don Lockwood's" Beverly Hills mansion; and the almost seventeen-minute "Broadway Ballet" in which Kelly sings and dances through a large number of sets and partners with Cyd Charisse as the femme fatale of the film-within-a-film. The sequence tells the story of a hoofer who comes to New York and becomes a success on Broadway but is rejected by a mysterious woman with whom he falls in love. The number marked the first of several times that Charisse and Kelly worked together. During Singin' in the Rain, when Cosmo describes his idea for reworking the seventeenth-century France setting of The Dueling Cavalier by adding a modern storyline, the plot he describes is very similar to the popular Cole Porter Broadway musical DuBarry Was a Lady, which was turned into a 1943 M-G-M film starring Red Skelton, Lucille Ball and Gene Kelly (see AFI Catalog of Feature Films, 1941-50). The "Broadway Ballet" includes the well-known Kelly tagline, "Gotta Sing-Gotta Dance." According to information in the M-G-M files, the final cost of that musical sequence was $605,960, $85,000 over budget, with the final cost of the entire film $2,540,800, $620,996 over budget.
Several additional old songs are heard briefly in the film, including "Should I," "I've Got a Feelin' You're Foolin'" and "Temptation." According to M-G-M files, two numbers were cut from the film, a solo of "You Are My Lucky Star," sung by Reynolds and included in the film's special edition LaserDisk, and a long solo by Kelly singing "All I Do Is Dream of You," which, according to information in the M-G-M collection, was cut after the film's preview. Another number, featuring Kelly and O'Connor dancing to "The Wedding of the Painted Doll," was planned but not shot. That song is heard briefly in the film, however. According to co-director Stanley Donen's autobiography, Rita Moreno's character, "Zelda Zanders," was to sing "Make Hay While the Sun Shines," but that, and most of Moreno's role, was not in the released film. Donen also indicated that the originally conceived ending included a premiere for Lina's newest film, Jungle Princess in which she "doesn't say a word-just grunts," and Lina and Cosmo's marriage.
Many of the characters within the film's storyline were patterned after real people. "Dora Bailey" was loosely modeled on Hollywood gossip columnist Louella Parsons; director "Roscoe Dexter" was modeled after musical director Busby Berkeley and, according to modern sources, "R. F. Simpson" was modeled after producer Arthur Freed, although Freed was unaware of it. According to memos in the M-G-M files, Jimmie Thompson, who sang the "Beautiful Girl" number, was to be modeled after popular 1920s crooner Rudy Vallee, but Vallee was imitated in a brief montage just before the number. Charisse, who had no dialogue in the Broadway Ballet sequence, had hair and makeup reminiscent of the screen persona of 1920s film star Louise Brooks.
Books and feature articles on the film have noted that several of the film's sets were previously used in some of M-G-Ms films of the 1920s and 1930s, including the Greta Garbo-John Gilbert picture Flesh and the Devil, which provided the setting for Don's mansion. Costumes and wigs in The Dueling Cavalier were from M-G-M's 1938 picture Marie Antoinette. (See AFI Catalog of Feature Films, 1931-40.)
According to information in the M-G-M files, because Reynolds' voice did not work well for the scene in which her character, "Kathy," dubs the speaking and singing voice for Hagen's Lina Lamont in The Dancing Cavalier, Hagen's own voice was used to dub for Reynolds. Hagen was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role, and Lennie Hayton was nominated for Best Scoring of a musical picture. The film was named one of the top ten pictures of 1952 by the National Board of Review; Donald O'Connor received a Golden Globe award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy, and Betty Comden and Adolph Green won the Writers Guild Award for Best Written American Musical.
In modern interviews, Comden and Green have stated that the film was proposed to them by Freed, head of M-G-M's musical division. According to Comden and Green, Freed, who was one of the songwriters of the 1929 song "Singin' in the Rain," proposed that they write a musical film based on the song. The pair then spent several weeks trying to come up with an idea and hit upon a storyline that was, as they explained, funny, but also a reflection of the sadness that accompanied the film industry's transition to sound. Modern sources offer variations on the film's origins; some state that the production was devised as a way to keep Freed's production unit happy and maintain the momentum started on An American in Paris, which was still in production when pre-production began on Singin' in the Rain. Contemporary news items and production information indicate that Singin' in the Rain was being developed prior to the start of production on An American in Paris, however. Singin' in the Rain was mentioned as being on Freed's slate in a Hollywood Reporter news item on May 15, 1949. Information in the Freed Collection also reveals that he received $25,000 for all musical materials for the film on August 29, 1950. In his autobiography, Donen mentioned that the basic story idea for the picture was developed in 1948 under the title Excess Baggage and intended as a starring vehicle for dancer Ann Miller.
Singin' in the Rain has often been cited in modern surveys and documentaries as one of the most popular films of all time. Among its many accolades, in 2007, Singin' in the Rain was ranked 5th on AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies-10th Anniversary Edition list of the greatest American films, moving up from the 10th position it occupied on AFI's 1997 list. The film was re-issued in 1974 and again in 1992 with a fortieth anniversary premiere. It was also selected as one of the first American films presented in Communist China. A stage production of Singin' in the Rain opened in London in 1983, starring and directed by Tommy Steele and produced by Harold Fielding. The stage production closely followed the film, including the same songs. The play also recreated Kelly's "Singin' in the Rain" number.

I could watch anything with my man in it. Although admittedly I haven't been able to bring myself to finish that Ad drama where he played the second lead. What irk me the most is that I'm watching lots of dramas but I don't have the freaking idea who the male lead in that drama is. I was like, 'Who is that'? 'Huh'?
So, I'm dying for a new drama where I could root for Jo Hyun Jae and the female lead in earnest. Then I learned the happy news from Ms. Koala that Jo Hyun Jae might be joining the cast of Hwatu as the second male lead.
I know it's another second lead role but this time around the male lead is Joo Jin
Yes, Joo Jin Mo! Mo.
You don't know who Joo Jin Mo is? Okay, in that case I don't think explaining his resume will help you to get the picture. No matter how much I love Jo Hyun Jae I think I have to be objective enough in saying that Joo Jin Mo is the bigger name here.This is him in all his rugged glory:
And since this Hwatu is about the Empress Qi/Gi, I know for sure that Jo Hyun Jae'll get the girl because he'll be the Emperor, the Toghun Temur Khan, right?
I don't know how the script will be written or how will they play the love line between the leading lady (Ha Ji Won) who will play Gi Jao a Korean girl who is sent to Yuan Dynasty then later become the Empress Qi/Gi and Joo Jin Mo who will play one of the worse Kings in Goryoe, King Chunghye.
Seeing how the Emperor made this nobody into his Empress it meant that he loved her dearly. Definitely more than any women in his palace even his own first Empress.
That's what I want to happen between Jo Hun Jae and Ha Ji Won in this drama. It goes without saying they are the OTP that I want to see on my small screen.
Although Joo Jin Mo/King Chunghye is the male lead, I more than welcome him to all the women in his palace – and leave my OTP alone. And the history does say he did indeed welcome himself to every woman there.
I find this drama is interesting – okay, I do find it interesting now after hearing the rumour about the possibility of Jo Hyun Jae joining the casts – because I want to see how will they portray these three historical figures who are not loved by the Korean people. What twists are they going to use to make viewers root for them.
I don't mind the twisting in the historical drama, as long as the major facts remain. For example Lady Wu, the First Empress which I watched because I love the leads.
In this drama they turned Alyssa Chia into a bubbly, innocent, nice girl which is totally absurd because in reality nobody like that could become an Empress.
You need some one who is shrewd, tough, and brilliant enough to defeat their enemies and not balking at the thoughts of killing few dozen people to get to the top. Or powerful men behind you like an Emperor who loves you more than anything else.
But with the team that produced Giant (which by the way I totally love, gosh what an epic beautiful giant that drama is) behind this drama I have a high hope that they will not turn Ha Ji Won into a sweet bubbly thing. Nor Jo Hyun Jae into a loved sick Emperor although he loves her dearly.
On the other hand, Joo Jin Moo the male lead could be as villain as imaginable. Hopefully, even more evil than our villain Jo Phil Yon in Giant. I'm looking forward to seeing another epic journey like Giant.
*praying that it'll be epic and not a giant disappointment*
To those who have power in this drama please give Jo Hyun Jae if he takes the role as the Emperor some hair. Please, please, please. You need to create your own hair style for the Yuan Emperor here. This is the twist that I'm sure the future viewers of this drama are praying day and night. It would be pure torture to see one of the male leads with hideous hair do for 60 episodes.

A branch of the old faithful Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman Coliseum Cafe opens today at Plaza 33...
So we're not usually the ones that will be lining up outside a restaurant before the opening bell on the first day, but when we saw the big banner that said Coliseum was opening this afternoon, we had to go! =D
Truth be told, we've never been to the original Coliseum Cafe downtown. But then ask any KL-ite in their 30s or 40s onwards and chances are they would have heard or been to Coliseum before! That's because Coliseum has been operating in KL since 1921, longer than the average lifespan of a man. =D
Even so, there has never been another Coliseum outlet in town, until now! Coliseum occupies a corner lot on the ground floor of the new Plaza 33, next to Jaya 33. It's clearly visible from the main road of Jalan Kemajuan, which is how many people have been informed of its opening we're sure! The banner said the opening was at 3pm, and we arrived just before 3.30pm it was already quite crowded. Goes to show us urban folk are actually quite sentimental in nature to experience the old days.. Lots of loyal Coliseum fans. =D
We weren't very hungry since it was more like tea time than lunch, but we wanted to try as much as we could! Beginning with the French Onion Soup (RM 9.90), this was billed as a homemade soup on their menu. Alas, homemade seemed to refer to using lots of oil, as a sheen of oil obviously glistened on the top. Other than that, the taste was okay, but that layer of oil stopped us from finishing the whole bowl.
Presentation was also a bit sloppy as the soup had messily spilled all around the side when they served it to us. But then since this is just their first day of operations, service hiccups are still excusable, in our book.
For tea time, we thought the Coliseum Club Sandwich with Chips & Salad (RM 18.90) would be a wise choice since it also bears the cafe's namesake. But again, we felt let down by the average quality of the sandwich. Skip this in favour of some other sandwiches, or other local delights. This also went largely unfinished.
But what we were most excited to try was the Hainanese Chicken Chop (RM 23.90), topped with special homemade sauce and served with crinkle-cut fries. Old-timers reminiscing about prices at the first Coliseum might balk at the prices in this place, but we think the food is priced reasonably considering its location amidst more expensive eateries like Noble Mansion & Kampachi. The special homemade sauce leans heavily toward a sweet, tomato base, topped off with button mushrooms, red onions and peas.
Thankfully we were both satisfied with the chicken chop, which saved our afternoon "tea" session! The chicken was quite a big, juicy piece, and the batter wasn't too thick. The appetizing sauce was nice, a good throwback and example of what Hainanese Chicken Chop looks and tastes like! Although price is slightly steep, we foresee this becoming a crowd favourite. =D
In fact, Coliseum is most famous as being one of the earliest steakhouses in KL (having recently entered the Malaysia Book of Records for the Longest Operating Western Colonial-Themed Restaurant, in business since 1921), so of course, their sizzling steaks were the popular order here. We were seated near the extractor fan, where all the sizzling preparation takes place.
Just for the duration that we were there, we could see sizzling hot plates being brought out in threes from the kitchen, where a small cube of butter is first melted onto the plate, and then a tomato and steak is placed on top! All very fascinating, and we were particularly thankful for the extractor fan placed there since we don't particularly appreciate smelling like sizzling steaks all day long. =P
(For those who are curious, steak prices range around RM 40-50. Not too bad for a steak at today's prices though definitely higher than the prices of the old Coliseum era, but we'll have to return again to taste it ourselves. =D)
Oh yes, another unique addition at Coliseum - Lingham chilli sauce! None of that Maggi or Life sauce here; if you've been a fan of Lingham sauce growing up, you'll be pleased to see a bottle on every table at Coliseum. =D
Sadly, while we can understand the higher-than-average food prices, we're disappointed with the obvious mark-up in drinks! In front is an Iced Tea at RM 4, while behind is an Iced Milo at... RM 5.50! I've mentioned before that overpriced drinks are one of my pet peeves, and here it has reared it's head once again. For what we got in those slender glasses, I'd have paid RM 3 at the most for the Ice Milo. Just a rough indication of what to expect at Coliseum.
So while our first visit here hasn't been exactly fantastic, we'll definitely be back to try out the sizzling steaks themselves, and other local dishes! The menu here is very wide, with plenty of common rice and noodles dishes available. If you want to impress your parents or some old relatives, definitely think of Coliseum, if for nothing else but the memories it will conjure for them! (But, be prepared for lots of conversation gearing towards, "back in the day ah...")

Brian Kilmeade joined Fox Business Network host Stuart Varney this morning and their discussion focused on the Olympics. Specifically, the dynamic duo talked up 17-year-old American Chloe Kim's gold medal in snowboarding — which she won on Monday. It wasn't long before the pair dispensed with the congratulations and launched into a sermon about the proper way to immigrate to America. "[Kim's] parents leave South Korea in 1982 for a better life in America and they said when she won her gold, her dad says 'that is my American dream,'" Kilmeade said. "Immigrating to the US the traditional way. You sign up. You apply. You go ahead and you serve and the next thing you know you are an American citizen and your daughter, in this case, wins a gold medal." Varney took a moment to complain about all of those pesky immigrants who hate America, despite having here, or something. "We hear this far too infrequently, immigrants who like America, succeeded in the American dream and say so," he said. "You just don't hear that often enough. That's my opinion." Kilmeade concurred, saying "absolutely, the same thing." [image via screenshot] — Follow Lawrence Bonk (@sidescrollers) on Twitter

The Seahawks signed two young defenders to the back end of their roster Saturday, reaching deals with linebacker Brandon Denmark and safety Steven Terrell, according to the club's website.
An undrafted rookie from Florida A&M, Denmark (6-3, 244) recorded 59 tackles and four sacks in 2013. The 22-year-old Denmark began his collegiate career at Illinois.
Terrell, 23, had stints on the Jacksonville and Houston practice squads in 2013. The Texans waived him in May. Terrell (5-10, 197) played collegiately at Texas A&M.
The Seahawks are at the 90-player roster limit. This does not include tailback Marshawn Lynch, who is on the club's reserve/did not report list.

Street Photography
Jack asks:
"My family have lived in greenwich for over 150 years, and I have been doing my family tree. On the 1881 census, my great x3 grandmother Eliza Moody ran a greengrocers and fruit shop at 121 Trafalgar road.
I was wondering if you had any pictures of this place from books or if you knew anyone that would possibly have a picture or anything. I have no name of the shop, just 121 Trafalgar road."
The Phantom replies:
This is SUCH a common question. I confess that without trawling through every single book I don't know if there is one that takes in that particular shop and sadly Real Life is utterly crazy at the moment; I just don't have the time.
But it's easy enough to do for yourself what I would have to do – nip over to the Heritage centre at Woolwich Arsenal and ask to see the photographs they keep that are labelled by street. There might also be other collections that will have them in so have a chat with the curators. It really helps to know where No. 121 is now (if it exists) so you can see where it is in the street and identify it by other things around it rather than just hoping there is something labelled as such. There could be pictures of trams or other things with that shop in the background.
There are other places to look, of course. The Heritage Centre holds many more books than I do for starters – a happy afternoon with a bunch of them might yield results. I've been having a chat with a chap who's found a picture of his family shop in the Morden College Archives (more about that another day…) – could be worth seeing what they have, especially since they own a lot of the land north of (and including) Traf Road – if you look at the top of the building Tesco is in you'll see the coat of arms.
For photos of streets now, Mike Curry has asked me to remind you that he has an exhibition of his travels around town at The Greenwich Gallery, which is at Linear House, just behind Greenwich Borough Hall on Royal Hill. It's on until the end of the month and if you go at weekends you can have a chat with the man himself…

MATH6027 Design of Experiments
Module Overview
When planning experiments, it is essential that the data collected are as relevant and informative as possible. The statistical principles for the design of experiments include the choice of optimal or good treatments sets and appropriate replication of them, randomization to ensure unbiasedness and the use of blocking and other methods for reduction of variance
Aims and Objectives
Module Aims
1) appreciate the advantages and disadvantages of a design for a particular experiment; 2) construct optimal or good designs for a range of practical experiments; 3) understand the potential practical problems in its implementation; and 4) describe how the analysis of the data from the experiment should be carried out.
Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes
Having successfully completed this module you will be able to:
- appreciate the advantages and disadvantages of a design for a particular experiment
- construct optimal or good designs for a range of practical experiments
- understand the potential practical problems in its implementation
- describe how the analysis of the data from the experiment should be carried out
Emphasis throughout will be on the statistical principles underlying the methods and how they can be applied to and adapted for practical experiments. The following methods will be discussed and practiced. 1) Basic ideas: objectives leading to choice of treatments; randomization to ensure validity of analysis; blocking to separate sources of variation in order to ensure efficiency of analysis. 2) Choice of treatments: replication for unstructured treatments; optimal design for quantitative treatments; the factorial treatment structure and its advantages; incomplete factorial structures, including regular fractional factorials; screening experiments; response surface treatment designs for multiple quantitative factors; optimal design algorithms for choosing multifactor treatment sets. 3) Randomization: randomization theory as a justification of linear models; extension to block designs; inter-block analysis; practical constraints on randomization. 4) Blocking: incomplete block designs for unstructured treatments, including balanced incomplete block designs; confounding for factorial designs; optimal blocked factorial and response surface designs; split-plot and other multi-stratum designs. 5) Special topics: sequential design; computer experiments.

Thank you for the information about the Hiya Hiya needles. At half the price of Addi's, it sounds like I should check them out the next time I need more needles, though it seems with all of the needles I own, I should have a "complete set" by now...but really, does anybody?
One of the comments I received on my Seamless Bottom Up Baby Booties pattern really caught my attention. Knitting Guy (author of Knitting On The Road) just happened to be designing his own seamless bottom-up pattern at roughly the same time I was, and his ideas regarding construction were very similar to mine. He is a long haul trucker, I am a stay at home mom/student, yet we each formulated a pattern for baby booties which was the same concept... Really! Follow the link to his blog and check it out! Very fun!
I spent a few minutes yesterday making a little coin purse:I've been throwing my small change into a pocket in my back pack, and I have to go digging for it when I need it, and I'm too cheap to buy a coin purse, so I made one out of stuff I had on hand. I followed a pattern I found in this book. Also, a little key ring may be placed on the ribbon shown on the top of this photo... It looks sort of weird, but it's quite functional.
Well, I'm two weeks into the fall semester. Earlier this week, my eight year old told me he was out of shorts. I suggested that he wear pants, because the weather is cooler. So, yesterday morning, he told me that not only is he out of shorts, but he is now *also* out of underwear. Then my five year old piped up and started telling me that he is running out of clean clothes to wear, too. I think I need to implement some sort of "process" for housework here, because I don't think my family is going to like my initial thoughts: "I'll have time for your laundry when the semester is over." Needless to say, it will be a weekend devoted to laundry...
Nothing else too exciting. I blocked Ibenholt, but it is still in three pieces, waiting to be sewn together. I'm contemplating my next projects, and have it narrowed down to three, all having yarn available in my stash:
- 1.) Must Have Cardigan, in the Patons "Street Smart" booklet, using Patons Classic Merino in the standard "Aran" color.

Firm hopes stun method will ruffle fewer feathers
By Laurie Whalen

Chickens wait to be stunned in a Low Atmospheric Pressure System chamber at O.K. Industries in Fort Smith.
• E-mail
FORT SMITH — Birds waiting to be slaughtered at the O.K. Industries plant on Sixth Street are "irreversibly stunned" before
entering the processor's automated line, where workers turn them into breaded, seasoned and marinated chicken products.
The Low Atmospheric Pressure System, which knocks out or kills the birds by lowering air pressure in a sealed chamber, is the only one of its
kind in use in the country. The atmospheric pressure technology created by Hollis Cheek of TechnoCatch LLC in Kosciusko, Miss., has been in
service at the plant full time since February.
O.K. Industries is hoping the technology will resonate with consumers who care about animal welfare in large scale commercial food production
and with its customers in the fast-food industry.
The Humane Society of the United States has not endorsed an industry switch to the process but said the technology shows promise. The system is
an alternative to electric stunning used by a majority of American processors and to carbon dioxide gas stunning, which is far less common and
more expensive.
Executives with O.K. Industries, a privately owned holding company, said the method is one of the most innovative technologies to appear and
they see it becoming the industry standard in less than a decade. They often refer to the stunning system as LAPS.
"By bringing awareness about LAPS to consumers we hope they will say, 'This is the way we want birds processed,'" said
Kevin McDaniel, vice president of production in the farms division.
The company declined to comment on how much it has invested in the technology. It does host processors from across the globe curious about the
procedure. Recently, a delegation from South Africa traveled to Fort Smith see the setup.
In 2010, the method received endorsement from the American Humane Association in Englewood, Colo., a group that has been accused by some of
pandering to meat producers.
Kathi Brock a spokesman for the association, defended the group's support of Low Atmospheric Pressure System saying the group's
panel of advisers had access to good science.
"We do not take any position or adopt any standard without having good research," Brock said.
A 2010 Journal of Poultry Science article authored in part by Yvonne Vizzier-Thaxton, formerly of Mississippi State University, and Karen
Christensen, a researcher and director of technical service at O.K. Industries Inc., is the basis for the association's approval.
Anne Fanatico, an assistant professor of poultry at Appalachian State University in Boone, N.C., said she doesn't think the public knows
much about stunning methods used in poultry processing or why some methods might be better than others. Or, even if the public cares to know,
she said.
"But I think the American public will [care] if they learn about it," Fanatico said.
"What O.K. Industries has going for it in talking about atmospheric stunning is an opportunity for learning," she said
Today, most commercial processors hang the birds upside down before dipping them into electrified water to stun them. O.K. Industries also
employs this method at its other plant, in Heavener, Okla.
In-plant stunning is eliminated with the new method. The chambers sit outside the building in the loading dock.
Forklift operators feed stackable, holding cages onto conveyer belts that lead to one of four large metal chambers. Each tube-like chamber can
hold about 440 birds.
TechnoCatch describes its stunning device as a pressure and time control system that vacuum-reduces air in the chamber. Company representatives
said each setup would be unique because processing businesses run their factories differently.
In outfitting the Fort Smith plant, McDaniel said the speed of the production line dictated four chambers because "there are 1,500
workers waiting to do their job down the line," he said. "We need to keep the birds going."
The chamber door closes at the push of a button by an O.K. Industries machine operator perched in a small observation deck. A computer monitor
nearby displays black-and-white images from inside the chamber.
A recent batch of chickens wobbled with the initial drop in air pressure. About a minute later many flapped their wings before dying.
Birds are in the chamber for about four minutes.
"Once a certain pressure is reached the birds become insensitive to pain," Cheek said during a telephone interview Tuesday.
"The brain will shut down before the heart will."
Proponents liken the process to hypoxia, a condition that pilots can experience when flying too high.
"You're not seeing a death struggle because the bird doesn't feel anything," said Cheek.
[Regarding a death struggle, see note below this article. UPC Editor]
TechnoCatch has worked closely with O.K. Industries and veteran poultry researcher Vizzier-Thaxton, the new director of the Center for Food
Animal Well Being at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, to perfect its stunning technology.
Scientific studies on chickens during Vizzier-Thaxton's tenure at Mississippi State University support Cheek's observation.
Brain-wave activity and stress hormone levels are two physiological indicators used to support the claim the method is humane.
Matthew Prescott, spokesman for the Humane Society of the United States said that while the initial science behind the method appeared
promising, "there are some gaps in the science that we hope will be worked out before we consider advocating the industry switch to that
The Humane Society considers the conventional electric stunning method unacceptable. Birds likely feel pain with an electric stun that's
administered before throat slitting and defeathering, Prescott said. More research about the brain-wave data and an additional
"humaneness" test are needed before the group gives its stamp of approval, Prescott said.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals in Norfolk, Va., continues to advocate for controlled atmospheric killing, which is when oxygen is
replaced with a nonpoisonous gas.
In 2011, the group put a proposal before shareholders asking the Springdale business to adopt the gas slaughtering method. The proposal did not
Some anti-meat groups criticize the atmospheric method for blowing out chickens' eardrums, which are said to be extremely sensitive, and
for crushing lungs.
Karen Davis, president of United Poultry Concerns, a vegan group in Virginia, said she's heard all the arguments before about how the
method is humane, "but there's a whole bunch of research that shows otherwise."
Upon exiting the Low Atmospheric Pressure System chamber, the dead birds are dumped onto another conveyor system that sends the carcasses
inside to a crew of 18 men who sort and hang them upside down. O.K. Industries officials say workers hang 20 birds a minute at its Fort Smith
J.C. Mares, 35, of Fort Smith, said hanging limp birds is "more easy" than live ones. Workers such as Mares no longer have to deal
with wriggling legs and wings, and they no longer have to chase birds on the floor. The amount of dust is lessened, too.
O.K. Industries' McDaniel said the "hanger" job is the hardest position in the plant to staff. Not many people want to fight
a 6-pound chicken, he said.
But since adopting atmospheric stunning, the plant's hanging crew "has been fully staffed for the last three months,"
McDaniel said adding that with live birds it was common to replace two hangers a week.
The National Chicken Council, an industry trade group in Washington, D.C., said the industry is paying attention to what O.K. Industries is
doing, and "we can't rule out that it might catch on," spokesman Richard Lobb said.

experience a death struggle. . . . A view through an infrared monitor shows them disoriented and flapping their wings." [UPC Editor]
Published Comment by Karen Davis, PhD, President of United Poultry Concerns, July 4, 2011
Decompression was used in the mid-20th century U.S. to destroy shelter animals. By 1985, decompression was no longer used in U.S. animal
shelters because it was found to be cruel and inhumane, despite the American Humane Association's endorsement of it for dogs and cats.
The American Veterinary Medical Association does not accept decompressing animals to death as euthanasia (a merciful death), noting the pain
and distress due to expanding gases trapped in body cavities during decompression, accidental recompression, and inability of young animals to
die quickly when subjected to decompression. The chickens in question are just about 6-weeks old. Research on decompression sickness in human
beings shows the experience of decompression to be a terrible ordeal. What is being done to these chickens is inhumane.
The term humane is being used to mask commercial interests the same as electrical paralysis of fully conscious birds to facilitate feather
release has been falsely called humane since the mid-20th century, despite all evidence showing that the birds are tortured by the electricity.
From a compassionate standpoint, there is nothing promising about decompression. The only thing stunning is the inhumanity of everyone
conducting, and approving of, the procedure.

Published 23 November 2009
Environment Minister Nick Smith said on Friday the investigation into the Far North District Council's performance in processing applications for resource consents would start today.
Dr Smith said independent consultants Mark St Clair & Brent Cowie would carry out the review by Friday 4 December and report back to him in January: "I announced this investigation as a result of the Far North District Council's poor performance in processing just 37% of resource consents within the statutory timeframes – a decline from 51% in the previous survey in 2005-06.
"I acknowledge the council has taken some steps over the last year to improve its performance in this area. However, I believe an external review is necessary to identify the issues and to assist the council to fix their consent processing problems.
"The primary focus of the review is to examine guidance around applications, monitoring systems, customer feedback, staffing resources & processing systems. It is limited in scope to resource management functions, unlike the wider investigation into Environment Canterbury.
"The prosperity of the Far North district is highly dependent on the efficient management of its natural resources. This review is about improving the council's RMA function to deliver decisions on time for the people & businesses in the Far North.
"These appointments and the review timetable have been discussed with Far North District Council. Any final recommendations on ways to improve council performance will be reported to the council following the report back to me."

Well, folks, the wait is almost over. Monsters University is officially now just one week away. In fact, for many people it may already be less than one week away, because Disney is treating fans and releasing the anticipated prequel one day ahead of time in select theaters across the United States and Canada, allowing die-hard aficionados of the franchise to enjoy Pixar's latest feature 24 hours prior to the "official" release date.
Most theaters will be screening the film Thursday evening, so if you live in the US or Canada, check your local movie theater's showtimes for June 20th, and catch Mike and Sulley's return to the big screen this Thursday, and don't forget to brag to your friends the following day about how you've already seen it.

Dear Editor:
This letter is in reply to Aikba T.'s letter, who recounts a "humiliating" experience of having to be fingerprinted, not once, not twice, but three time as part of US-VISIT. Being thrice fingerprinted can hardly be described as a "humiliating process" to be "endured". In light of recent world events, I'm sure we can all identify what true humiliation is. Extending one's index finger three times on an inkless fingerprint pad, leaving not so much as a smudge, is arguably inconvenient, but is in no way humiliation. Waiting in line at the bank, post office, DMV, or airport is annoying to everyone, but these are all experiences to be grin and bared. It is particularly curious to me that, as a visitor from Japan, he would be affronted by the US-VISIT program, in light of this country's widely acknowledged fastidious bureaucracy. I have no doubt that Akiba T. is a well-meaning visitor to the US, but he would surely acknowledge that this in not true of every alien in every line at every port of entry. The US-VISIT program is proving itself to generally be an effective and efficient means of assuring this.

Last week the BlackBerry® Developer Relations team was at GSMA's Mobile Asia Expo 2012. This year the show debuted in Pudong, Shanghai for the first time, at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) featuring operators, telcom brands, and of course the popular App Planet. Shanghai is quite a fascinating city with an interesting mix of modernity and ancient culture. Despite having the largest population on earth, things (including their metro) seem to move quite smoothly.
We were looking forward to meeting MMMOOO at the expo, but we weren't expecting a special invitation for a visit to their headquarters from Jonah Lin, the CEO for MMMOOO. In case you haven't heard of them before, let us rewind back to BlackBerry® DevCon Asia last year. MMMOOO won Top Achiever in BlackBerry App World™, and their latest count in BlackBerry App World sits at 375+ applications. We simply could not refuse the invitation as the team, and I was dying to figure out how many elves were coding away at the MMMOOO Innovation Workshop. We looked forward to observing their behaviour, monitoring their habits, and if we got lucky, extracting their DNA to take back with us. What ensued was quite a humbling experience for the RIM team:
As you walk in, the slogan "Enrich Your Mobility" greets you into the world of MMMOOO. The 500 square-metre space took the concept of open office to a new level with long rectangular tables of designers and developers facing each other. You could easily tell one from the other based on the tools and IDEs open on their screens. Several smiling heads turned and greeted the visitors, but the level of concentration within the one-room office space quickly became apparent as the team of thirty or so developers immediately immersed themselves back into their work.
A small ping-pong table in the middle of the room, although abandoned at the moment, showed signs of heavy use. On the left, a modest lounging area, with several photo frames on the wall of various MMMOOO milestones (including BlackBerry DevCon Asia and the recent CHINICT hackathon). As they also sponsor D-Starine, a charity that serves Tibet and Qinghai province, he had every reason to be proud of showcasing their invaluable social contribution. Knowing Jonah and his team, they might even whip up an app to encourage the same.
Jonah introduced us to the rest of his team. They had folks dedicated on BlackBerry® WebWorks™ and HTML5 as well Native and Qt. They told us that they were glad we were supporting the Qt community, and were particularly excited about Cascades™ for its charming UI. There was no shortage of mobile devices on their desks, but the BlackBerry® 10 Dev Alpha was the only rarity, which they were fortunate enough to get at BlackBerry 10 Jam.
The conversation became more casual, and the RIM team went on to share some of their favourite MMMOOO apps ever built (my personal favorite is their BBM GIF Avatar creator), and we got a glimpse of some of the exciting new stuff that they were working on for BlackBerry 10 that I can't share here yet.
Time flies when you're with other developers. We had to start heading back, but of course there's always time for a group picture. It's quite fitting but paradoxical that the team deployed itself and posed in front of their Wall of Fame. Perhaps this very photograph might end up on that wall as well.

When you need a little something, but don't want to bake 24 cupcakes or a whole cake… this is for you.
I was looking for just such a recipe and this one fit the bill. Why? Chocolate Chips.
I'm not sure who originated this recipe but whoever you were, thank you.
Makes 1 comforting cookie in a cup.
2 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp brown sugar
4 tbsp all purpose flour
2 tbsp chocolate chips
pinch of salt
