text: Charles L. 'Carl' Sheppard Jr., 99, of Lewisburg and a former long time resident of the Mt. Airy section of Philadelphia,passed away on Monday, August 12, 2013, at Evangelical Community Hospital. He was born January 22, 1914 in Philadelphia, a son of the late Charles L. Sr. and Marguerite (Cartwright) Sheppard. On July 20, 1957 he married the former, Eleanor Walker Ross, who preceded him in death Sept. 12, 2010. Together they celebrated 53 years of devoted marriage. Carl was a 1932 graduate of Chestnut Hill Academy, Philadelphia where he was the oldest surviving member of the Alumni Association. After graduation he worked as an architectural draftsman. During World War II he worked for the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia on defense projects. Following the war he went on to work for Biddle Instruments first in Philadelphia and then in Norristown. In 1989 he retired as their Chief Electrical Designer. Carl was an avid photographer all of his life. His photographs document all the things he loved: family, boating, architecture, automobiles, Maine and Philadelphia. Carl loved spending summers in Maine and often could be heard to say that it was his favorite place on earth. He loved music, literature and art and took great pleasure in his grandchildren's activities, interests and accomplishments. Carl also came to love his adopted home here in the Susquehanna Valley almost as much as his Philadelphia roots. All who knew him will remember him as a gentleman. Surviving are his son and daughter-in-law, Paul and Estee Sheppard, of Winfield; two grandchildren, Ethan and Eva Sheppard, both of Winfield; a younger brother of 98 years, Winston C. Sheppard and his wife, Olive, of Gwynedd; two nieces, Sally Sheppard, of Ambler and Mary-Helen Boothby, of Chestnut Hill; and two nephews, Charles "Chip" Sheppard, II, of Plymouth Meeting and W. Cartwright Sheppard Jr, of Newport Beach, California. A funeral service was held August 16th at the Cronrath-Grenoble Funeral Home, S. Second and St. Louis Streets, Lewisburg, with the Rev. Ann Keeler Evans, minister of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Susquehanna Valley, officiating. Burial was in The Chestnut Hill Cemetery, Winfield. The family suggests that memorial contributions be made to Carnegie Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped , 4724 Baum Boulevard, Pittsburgh, Pa 15213.

If you love American popular music, you owe it to yourself to catch up with John Pizzarelli and Jessica Molaskey on their weekly Radio Deluxe show. How to describe the show? Pizzarelli's site quotes Christopher Loudon:
Among radio's greatest pleasures is each weekly installment of Radio Deluxe, two hours of great jazz and smart, sassy repartee from John Pizzarelli and Jessica Molaskey, the hippest husband-and-wife team since Louis Prima and Keely Smith.
You can listen to their recent show devoted to "sexy songs" here. However good or bad you're feeling, you'll feel better after listening to the show. It is great.

My very own daily WTF

Java-based (JDBC) data connectivity to SaaS, NoSQL, and Big Data. Download Now.
People often hire me to grab their codebase by the horns and introduce a modicum of engineering standards. Eventually I get to implement new features, but they usually come at the cost of heavy refactoring before I can even get started.
A good month ago a founder emails me "Hey, I have this product, customer development at a point where big customers are waiting with fat checks to use product. I can't even get it to run, original developers nowhere to be seen. Can you help?"
The original developers fleeing was a bit of a red flag, but the product was right up my alley: node.js, mongodb, plenty of real-time data flow and speed requirements for updating the UI. The names of waiting users made my ears perk up as well.
I'll do it! How bad could it be?
A daily dose of WTF
It could be very bad.
Part of the project is done in Java. This makes sense, strict typing is the only logical decision considering what the codebase is doing.
Everything else is done in JavaScript. The communication protocol between Java and server JavaScript and frontend JavaScript … well that's got a ban on parameter names being longer than three characters.
Okay, saving bandwidth, right? We're talking about a high volume of data so let's keep those json objects small.
That's where things get tricky.
Because the core protocol only features names that are 3 characters long, so does the database. And because the database is full of such objects, guess what happens next? That's right! Most of the codebase is an incoherent mess of variable names are no longer than 3 characters.
The habit leaks beyond variables touching the data.
Why write label when you can have lbl? And so on and on … in almost two months of working on this codebase, I still have no idea what most of the names actually mean. I use them as pictograms describing vague concepts. I'm starting to get a feel for how they fit together.
It gets better.
How do you make a boolean value fit this protocol? By doing this:
function fix(boolean_value) { return boolean_value ? 'tru' : 'fls'; }
So much for saving space. Encode 1bit values into 24bit strings! Booyah!
Oh I wish that was all, here's another interesting thing I discovered … this is repeated through much of the code and I don't dare touch it because I don't know what crazy things will break.
Did I mention there's no unit tests? How about that I'm discouraged for writing them? Yep. But hey, it's not like this application needs to go through a proper security audit when it's done … oh wait, it does.
if (!thing || thing === 'null') ...
Lovely huh? Of course null is encoded as a string. How else would you do it?
I try to convince myself there was a good reason for this originally.
But I could live with all of that, some of it might have sounded reasonable at the time, or might simply be a result of deluded optimisations and whatnot. It's bad, but something I can live with.
Here's the stuff that really makes my life difficult:
function getPurple(cake) { cake.color = global_color_setting; return cake; }
I don't know how to even begin refactoring that so it makes sense … it's just … what? Who does that!?
However, the worst thing, the absolute worst thing is that some time in the past this application was moved from traditional jQuery to Backbone. Nothing wrong with that, great move I'd say, I love Backbone!
They forgot to move most things. A lot of times Backbone is just a thin wrapper around old stuff. Most of the code doesn't even leverage Backbone and there's still a bunch of $.ajax peppered everywhere.
And don't even get me started on "Hey, we changed name X in the protocol, can you change all references to that please" in a weakly typed language with no unit tests … fun times. I never know when something's going to blow up because I forgot to click on a button when testing.

This cake contains no caster sugar, no brown sugar, no icing sugar, no sugar that you can think of. OK, it does contain a whole jar of honey but let's accentuate the positive – no sugar! Using honey instead of sugar made the batter silky and smooth – so much that it shone. It also gave the baked cake a firmer texture, but at the same time crumbly. I know that sounds impossible but you'll see what I mean when you make it.
A friend of mine (Engelbert's mum) brought me back a jar of honey from a day trip to Ickworth House. She has what I believe would be termed a "high concept" blog (i.e. if I didn't like her I would call it 'mad') based around her little crocodile called Engelbert.
To repay her kindness, Mr CC and I decided to try and make Engelbert cake decorations out of sugar paste. It was our first foray into such an art form but we were pleased with our creations (Mr CC's is on the left, mine on the right):
The Suffolk honey was mild in flavour – not dissimilar to golden syrup. I often find honey too strong so loved this one.
Mr CC declared this one of the best cakes I'd ever made...high praise indeed! It's a very simple recipe – the sort that it's easy to pass by in a book without it registering, but was so delicious that it really should be tried.
150g unsalted butter, at room temperature
225g runny honey
3 eggs
300g self raising flour
225g sultanas
Dash of milk
Preheat the oven to 170˚C/fan oven 150˚C/325˚F/Gas mark 3.
Line a 20cm round springform tin with baking paper.
Beat together the butter and honey until you have a whipped, silky smooth blend. It will be much lighter than a traditional butter/sugar creaming.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, alternating with a third of the flour.
Add a dash of milk if the batter is too firm – you're aiming for a dropping consistency i.e. if you take a spoonful of batter and lightly tap the spoon, the mixture drops off.
Stir in the sultanas.
Spoon into the prepared tin and level the surface.
Bake for anywhere between 1 hour and 1 ½ hours. Check after an hour and if the edges are cooking too fast, lower the heat. Mine took 1 hour 15 minutes and I didn't find any problem with the edges browning too quickly.
When a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out cleanly, remove the cake from the oven and place the tin on a wire rack to cool.
Take the tin out of the cake when it is cool enough to handle, and leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
Store in an airtight container.
Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have created.

A Bloomberg News survey of economists shows a median forecast of 175,000 payroll jobs in October, with unemployment holding at a low 5.4%. If that prediction is correct, it's a very healthy total. The Labor Department's numbers won't come out until a few days after the election.
No one is going to hear about these numbers unless Kerry wins, in which case, the Kerry Boom is already underway–has been, in fact, for some time.

Thanks again for inviting me to the Southern Lodging Summit. I continue to find the conference one of the most informative events that I attend. I thought the sessions were outstanding and I thought the one moderated by Isaac was especially interesting. It's a great mix of local hoteliers and top notch industry executives so attendees gain practical knowledge about property operations and overall industry trends. Well done.
If you want a serious and thoughtful in depth discussion about current topics related to our industry, then this conference (SOUTHERN LODGING SUMMIT @ MEMPHIS) is the place for you.
"I have been attending and participating in the Southern Lodging Conference for the last 6 years...always a great lineup of speakers addressing timely regional and national industry topics...a terrific venue for networking purposes. I look forward to attending again this year."

Thank you all for the opportunity to be a panelist yesterday at the Southern Lodging Summit. It was a great time of learning and sharing. I left much more informed than when I arrived. It was an honor to be a part of such a great collection of industry professionals.
"I want to commend you for the good job you all did putting on the Southern Lodging Summit – 2012. The people, venue(s), information and networking exemplified the best of Southern Hospitality. I'll definitely be back to this great event."

The Memphis conference provides a unique view at a growing industry, which is going through a significant change and globalization. The Conference drew an exceptional group of Industry Executives and leaders, whose candor was refreshing
I truly enjoyed the Summit last week. The hospitality found in Tennessee and the professionalism throughout the event were second to none. I am glad that I had the opportunity to participate and look forward to staying connected to all the great people that I had the pleasure of meeting.
The event was wonderful and I was able to take back some items to apply to our hotel group. Hopefully I was able to provide some items for the rest of the attendees to take back as well.
...congratulations on another successful SLS. I thought it was one of the best one's I have attended.
Awesome. Great content, lots of fun, excellent chow! Thank you so much for inviting me to speak.
It was an excellent conference...really found the panelists and speakers very informative and I learned a bunch to take back to my business and colleagues....this Summit is a don't miss.
I just wanted to let you know that Memphis really put on a great show this week. The speakers, facilities, food, and overall hospitality was top notch. And, I very much enjoyed getting the chance to reconnect with friends.
I just wanted to say thank you for inviting me to participate in SLS this year. I was so impressed by the conference—the speakers and participants, the way you run it, everything. Now I know why Higley always hogged this conference for himself!
Chuck and his team continue to attract a top notch line-up of industry veterans and thought leaders. The conference is small enough to allow for lively interaction between audience members but large enough to tackle the issues relevant to the industry today. I am always pleased and honored to participate.
SLS@Memphis provides a comfortable setting to meet and hear from both regional and national leaders on issues facing our industry.
A great mid year conference that exemplifies the Southern Hospitality Spirit and Tradition.
The Memphis Summit has consistently delivered terrific insights and speakers. I'm proud to be a partner in 2013 and have enjoyed participating over the years as there is consistently a great turnout of industry leaders and a highly engaging format.
The SLS@Memphis is one of the best-run conferences in our industry and provides attendees with invaluable information pertaining to the region, as well as the industry as a whole. The intimate setting allows for great collaboration amongst attendees and speakers. My thanks go out to Chuck and the entire SLS team for holding such a great event in Memphis, a city which has played a historically-relevant role in our industry.
It is always a great thing for the Memphis business and hospitality community when nationally recognized leaders meet here and can learn more about what is happening on a local, regional and national basis. There is no other forum like it in this area.
The Southern Lodging Summit is an intimate gathering of today's industry experts where current topics can be elaborated upon and discussed in an environment that is easy to navigate. The Pinkowski team makes sure the conference stays interesting, on point, and entertaining!
The Southern Lodging Summit creates a perfect storm, combining multiple big ideas from different directions, all at a scale perfect for networking and collegiality. A great experience for any hotelier.
The Southern Lodging Summit is always engaging and informative with outstanding panels and speakers. Most of all I enjoy the ability to connect with industry colleagues and leaders from every segment. This year's Summit was no exception – the format and content was exceptional.
The Southern Lodging Summit is a great place to learn about new trends and regulation in the lodging business. The conference is located in a premier southern destination city and provides great networking opportunities with many top level management and ownership groups – I have been attending the conference every year for six years and it's never disappointing and a lot of fun!
I found the Southern Lodging Summit particularly interesting and helpful due to learning the 'up to the minute' industry trends, the diversity of topics and hearing ideas particularly relevant to owners and operators like ourselves. I found the size of the conference perfect for networking and socializing with colleagues and will definitely make it a point to return and recommend to my peers in the industry.
The Southern Lodging Summit afforded me the opportunity to share my experiences as well as learn from the successes of my peers. I am better informed, but more importantly I am more motivated after attending.
The Summit is a great blend of Southern Hospitality and insightful, thought-provoking discussion. The friendly feel and extensive networking opportunities help make the Southern Lodging Summit unique. You'll be glad you came.
The Southern Lodging Summit is a great venue in a relaxed environment to meet with owners, developers and management companies to share ideas and discuss trends in our industry. The panelists are passionate and knowledgeable about their topics And help attendees grasp some intricacies of our business that they may not have thought about.
I left the Southern Lodging Summit with some new and valuable insights that I will be able to apply to my business immediately. The regional aspect of the conference is of particular value in its relevance to the issues we face developing and operating hotels in the South-East. Further, the intimate nature of the conference lent itself to more valuable interactions and networking opportunities than I see at larger conferences. I think this is a great conference and would wholeheartedly recommend it to my peers.

This week has been exhausting. iMac crashing (I'm dying without my lightroom), first of three bathroom tearouts, and lastly potty training. Weirdly, I am so thankful for these challenges. Many around me have been suffering with medical issues, losing children, and even losing faith. So my problems are so minor compared to others struggling.
Is it just me or is being a two and a half your old a tricky job? Even harder, being a mom sometimes. My sweet girl has her flustered moments, but still at the end of the day we fall back in love, say our prayers, and fall asleep happy. What helps you work through your struggles with your kiddos? I'm still figuring this out lately. Heavenly Father has been the true guiding light for me in how I view my kids. Don't get me wrong, I still occasionally lock myself in my room and scream into my pillow. What mom doesn't? I feel like I'm constantly being reminded to be thankful for each challenge we have to overcome. 3 years ago, all I wanted was a baby and now I have 2 precious miracles. Children ARE so rewarding and totally worth it.
Now for the lighter side of the post.
Ava and I both have a jewelry obsession. A couple on months ago the fabulous Cheri Holden shared her wonderful jewelry making talents with me. You know when you just meet someone who is just an incredible gal, mother, and wife plus she's gorgeous? That's Cheri. I had been searching everywhere for the perfect gold bar necklace, well it so happens that she makes them. I love supporting local businesses, plus if you meet her she's amazing. Cheri's Etsy Shop has the most darling creations and I urge you to check it out and get your hints started for Christmas. Yes, it will come before you know it and my sweet jewelry maker would love to take care of you.
I can't wait to get sis her own necklace one day. Ava's my best friend and I will do everything I can to remind her of that for at least the next 16 years.
Here is a link to my necklace that Ava is wearing.
I hope each of you have a wonderful Labor Day. Be safe.

Patrick Says Frank Is "On The List"
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick says newly-retired Rep. Barney Frank would make a ``great interim senator'' but adds that he has also talked to other people about filling the post.
Frank told The Associated Press that he asked Patrick earlier in the week to appoint him to serve as a temporary successor to Sen. John Kerry, who has been nominated as secretary of state.
Frank says he is ``well-suited'' for the job because he is already familiar with pressing issues before Congress. If Kerry is confirmed, the Democratic governor would name an interim senator until a special election is held in about five months.
Patrick calls Frank a ``gifted legislator'' and says he is ``on the list'' for the temporary post. Frank, a Democrat, served in the House for more than 30 years until his retirement this week. (Associated Press)

A More Perfect Union: Japanese Americans & the U.S. Constitution
DateNovember 2001
Other Media
This online exhibition examines the stories of Japanese Americans whose rights were violated as they were interned following the attack on Pearl Harbor.
During World War II, approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans were forced out of their homes and placed in detention camps established by the U.S. government. A More Perfect Union: Japanese Americans and the U.S. Constitution, a Web site for the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History, explores a period in U.S. history when racial prejudice and fear upset the delicate balance between the rights of citizens and the power of the state. It tells the story of Japanese Americans who suffered a great injustice at the hands of the government, and who have struggled ever since to correct this violation of civil liberties guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Site visitors experience the story through interactive galleries comprised of photographs, artifacts, and oral histories from the Smithsonian collection. In addition, visitors can search an online database of more than 800 artifacts from the collection, submit memories and responses to the site, and link to more resources and classroom materials. The heart of this online exhibition is the Story Experience, which features hundreds of items from the Smithsonian's collection along 30 "gallery walls" within the site. The presentation borrows on traditional exhibit design principles, as opposed to print page-based or linear broadcast designs. Visitors scroll across panels filled with photographs, paintings, objects, artifacts, documents, first-person audio accounts, and interpretive text panels. Each of the six sections of the experience features a distinctive look and sound: visual design elements were derived from traditional Japanese fabrics, and an original score was inspired by the Japanese Gagaku style of music.

Serge Vorobyov is the guy who tossed $1,000 in $1 bills into a crowd gathered at the Mall of America in Minnesota on Black Friday.
"My story is that, I just threw out my last thousand dollars," Vorobyov says in a video posted later. "I didn't have enough money for a lot of things and I'm going through a horrible divorce and she even took the cat."
Vorobyov says he was cited for disorderly conduct.
The dollar bills were stamped with the URL for his YouTube page, where he uploaded two cat videos and a variety of clips related to the money toss.
"I thought I'd just spread some holiday cheer," Vorobyov says. "I think it went well and security let me go when they got confirmation nobody got hurt."

Carly Rae Jepsen's 'Call Me Maybe' Captures Top Digital Song Honor at 2013 Billboard Music Awards
For Carly Rae Jepsen, her smash hit song 'Call Me Maybe' is the gift that keeps on giving! Her feel-good anthem took home the award for Top Digital Song at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards.
CRJ had particularly stiff competition in this category beating out fun. and their track 'We Are Young,' in addition to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' viral hit, 'Thrift Shop,' a song we thought for sure would be collecting this award tonight. Other nominees included Maroon 5's 'Payphone' featuring Wiz Khalifa and Gotye's 'Somebody That I Used to Know' featuring Kimbra.
Jepsen with her newly dyed redheaded hairdo, kept her acceptance speech short and sweet thanking her management, the dynamic duo of Scooter Braun and Justin Bieber, who helped launch her career in the U.S. and, of course, her fans.
Finally, she sweetly gave props to her boyfriend, but not for moral support of anything like that. Rather she sang his praises for helping her up the stairs in her short and fitted black mini dress. No action goes unnoticed to Carly Rae!

Of course your budget will be extremely important. But sometimes people sort of pluck figures out of thin air, not giving it the context it needs in the business plan to make real concrete sense of how that budget is going to work. Make sure you are researching each point of your budget, make sure that you are giving it context and it makes proper sense within your overall plan.

Grand Rapids Alums Brave Cold Weatherby Jim Amidon • October 16, 2006 Share:
Twenty (20) souls braved the coldest weather in Michigan this fall to participate in Wabash Day. The project was to assist Camp Blodgett (a camp along Lake Michigan just outside Grand Rapids which provides camping and enrichment experiences for urban youth who are from lower economic circumstances) to repair and build facilities.
The project included building a deck for outdoor gatherings, building benches and installing them along the nature trail, building wooden trash receptacle containers, repairing the picnic and outdoor tables and benches, repairing the railings to the cabins, and working on the interior and windows of a cabin under renovation.
In addition, as they did last year, The Grand Rapids-area alumni combined this exercise with a picnic gathering for the participants. "The Camp Director, Jim Guilfoyle, was very thankful for our efforts, remarking over and over that he could not believe all that we accomplished and the value it was to the camp as improvements which they simply would not have been able to complete," said organizer Jay Fisher.
Those helping out at Camp Blodgett were: Kevin Brechting (plus 4 members of the Kent City High School Varsity Girls Basketball Team, which Kevin coaches); Kenyatta Brame and his wife, Tracie; Keith Hefner and his wife, Katie; Jay Fisher and his wife, Marty; Paul Toohey; Greg Robinson; Bernie Manker III; Alex Manker; Graham Boyd; Tom Holmes; Ed Cox; and friends of Wabash Nicky Halverson and Scott Kearney.
"We enjoyed it and see it as a valuable Wabash outreach experience as well as an opportunity to get together," said Fisher. "This year we suggested that Wabash Day was for 'Wabash people' not just Wabash alumni and you can see from the wives and others that it was successful in that regard."

text: Fanny Brennan's innovative approach to painting is immediately clear in the small size of her work, which never exceeds a few inches square. These tiny pictures are filled with humor and, in meticulous detail, present playful images of a mythical world that exists only in her imagination. As an American student in Paris, Fanny was an independent soul. "At the Atelier Art et Jeunesse," she says, they were always trying to get me to fill the entire page of drawing paper. I only wanted to make very, very small pictures." Defying the fashion of the day, she refused to wear a hat and probably spent too much time at the Cafe de Flore, where she taught Picasso to play Chinese Checkers and rubbed peanut shells into Giacometti's hair. She was asked to leave her all-girl boarding house after calling the ornery concierge a "cow." Since then, Fanny has painted more than 300 images on small gessoed composition boardseach one usually taking one month to complete. A charter member of "Who's Who in American Art" her originals have been exhibited in galleries across the USA. She has also received awards from Time Inc., The Art Directors Club and the Museum of Modern Art. Each of these lithographs is made in the traditional manner with all color plates created by hand.

From the full-skirted polka-dot dresses of "I Love Lucy's" Lucy Ricardo to the cone bras and figure-hugging outfits worn by the women of " Mad Men," costumes have done as much as anything to make television memorable.
In recognition of the part clothes play, more than 75 outfits from contemporary shows, including some that are nominated this year for Emmys in costume design, are on display at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising's museum and galleries in downtown Los Angeles. It's the fifth consecutive year for the show, mounted in conjunction with the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. (The academy will bestow its costume awards Aug. 21 during the 2010 Creative Arts Emmy Awards. The 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards are to be telecast live on Aug. 29.)
The free exhibit, which opened July 27 and runs through Sept. 4, also includes last year's winner for outstanding costume design for a series, Robert Blackman for "Pushing Daisies."
We caught up with three of the designers FIDM is featuring this year who have been nominated in the series category (there is also an award for outstanding design for a miniseries, movie or special) to find out what inspires them and what it's like to work on their hit shows.
Joan Bergin, "The Tudors"
Bergin won Emmys for the series in 2007 and 2008 and received Irish Film & Television Academy awards in 2008 and 2009 as well. Her museum-quality costumes were featured in a Macy's display in New York City on St. Patrick's Day. Bergin has contributed to movies including "My Left Foot," "In the Name of the Father" and "The Prestige." She is currently working on the Starz Network production of "Camelot," starring Eva Green and Joseph Fiennes.
Image: How many costumes did you create for the show?
JB: I kind of lost count! My workshop was actually quite small, but across the series we made about 500 costumes and rented and modified countless others.... The amount of clothes — when I look at it now, I laugh. The relevant note is that I drape onto a form like old-style couture with a goodly degree of skill. Every detail, from cloth to braid to button. The workshop [staff] tease me.... I should just put [cloth, etc.] on the actors, pins and all, without having to make it up.
Image: Which character did you design the most for?
Bergin: Anne Boleyn. Showtime let the show take its natural course. For example, Anne came as a young girl who had studied a bit of the court but was no princess. I was able to slowly build her to become this magnificent creature.
Image: The characters don't physically age much as time progresses. The costumes are key in portraying this progression. How did you plan this out?
Bergin: I'm a great believer in research. Especially the social history around these people — it can be quite arrogant to make decisions for them. I figured, as Henry ransacked more and more churches and monasteries, he spent a lot of it on his own back and the clothes at court. I made them more opulent. As a character came more into the king's favor, they would dress better. Not unlike nowadays, as if someone were in a rising corporate position.
Image: What a sexy set! Which male and female character was your favorite to dress?
Bergin: Well, one of the things about Jonathan Rhys-Meyers [Henry] is that he is a natural clothes horse. He was very interested in the costumes. If he hadn't liked what I was doing it would have been agonizing. He really enjoyed the fittings and contributed. With women, it was Anne and Catherine Parr. We did magnificent jewelry for her [Anne's] coronation scene that cost an absolute fortune. We had a bodyguard on set!
Image: But both Henry Cavill [Charles Brandon] and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers are gorgeous. Did you have a favorite?
Bergin: Let's just say I always like things complex and difficult, and Henry [Rhys-Meyers] was more … complex.
Image: The jewelry was extraordinary. Did you create that?
Bergin: I have a lovely story — I got a letter from a company in Philadelphia called Sorrelli, huge fans of the show, who sent six pieces that were perfect for the costumes. The next two years they supplied "The Tudors" with most of the jewelry. They even have "The Tudors" collection on their website (www.sorrelli.com). There was also an Italian vendor, Autore, who lent us a $40,000 pearl necklace that was used for the decapitation of Anne.
Image: Is it true that you were inspired by modern clothing for the Tudor look?
Bergin: Yes. "The Tudors" is a strange blend of trying to be as authentic as possible but with a twist. I wanted people to look at it and say, "Look how sexy and foxy," rather than, "Oh! Who would wear that?" Balenciaga corsets and the Degas ballerinas inspired me. I also went to an auction and bought a trunk filled with fabrics collected by a woman from her travels all over the world. One of Catherine Parr's dresses was made with a 100-year-old obi.
Image: What was it like winning your first Emmy?
Bergin: "The Tudors" was a show I originally did not want to do because I didn't know how it could be done. I thought, "How on Earth could you do this?" And so when my name was called out, I was like one of those footballers and went, "Yes!" My friends claimed I knocked them down. I was shocked at how delighted I was. You often lack the security about what you're doing, and it was like being reaffirmed.
Image: Have you been star-struck yet?
Bergin: I've worked with a lot of great people — Brad Pitt, Meryl Streep — but the first time my knees buckled was while working on "The Prestige." It was when I met David Bowie.
Janie Bryant, "Mad Men"
Bryant, the 2005 Emmy winner for her work on "Deadwood" and 2009 Costume Designers Guild Award winner for "Mad Men," has been credited with inspiring designers such as Michael Kors and Prada. She has played a huge role in bringing vintage back in full swing and is debuting her line "Janie Bryant Mod" on QVC this September. Her book, "The Fashion File: Advice, Tips, and Inspiration From the Costume Designer of Mad Men," will be available this October.
Image: How did you get involved with "Mad Men"?
Bryant: I was in New Orleans designing a movie, and my agent called. I said I wanted to design another period show, and a week later she wanted me to see this pilot for "Mad Men." When they shot the pilot, I'd been designing "Deadwood." When they were gearing up for the show to go, I met Matt [Weiner, the show's creator] and we sat for two hours, and he hired me.
Image: Is vintage/historical costume design your specialty?
Bryant: I love period design. For me, it's all about the fantasy and the beauty of different time periods, so I gravitate toward that as opposed to contemporary.
Image: Where do you get your inspiration?
Bryant: Reading books, catalogs, old magazines, old movies, research on the Internet, research with Bobbie Garland, who runs the research library at Western Costume. I get inspiration from fabric stores or museums — I'm very visual. It's all about seeing it.
Image: Is it true your family might have influenced some of the looks in the show?
Bryant: Totally. I've used things that my grandmother made, and I've used my mother's things as well. For example, Roger's daughter wore my mother's wedding gown. Betty wears my grandmother's aprons, because my grandmother had an apron for every single outfit or made them herself.
Image: So this really was in your blood.
Bryant: I'm from a Southern textile family. I spent my childhood in my grandfather's sock mill.
Image: Does the cast want to keep the wardrobe, or are they thrilled to be in jeans and a T-shirt after shooting?
Bryant: (Laughing) I think they want to be contemporary.
Image: It's understandable — nobody wants the "bullet bra" look forever!
Bryant: I don't understand that! I love it! I think it helps accentuate the hourglass.
Image: Ahh … so do you think women today don't have that hourglass figure that was sexy in the '60s?
Bryant: Of course, they do have that. I just think now everyone wants to be a stick. It's interesting how, through different decades, people's priorities are different. Certain shapes change and certain parts get accentuated … or not. Especially during the 1960s. That's when the Twiggy-look happened, and people became obsessed with that stick figure. Going back to hiding the hourglass, I think men are very much the same. They want to hide their bodies as well. Guys will wear baggy jeans, baggy shorts. I mean, think about the '80s with "Magnum P.I." There's no way that you'd see a guy walking around [now] with short shorts. I think there is a definite modesty in people showing their bodies now.
Image: Do you think you've changed the face of vintage?
Bryant: It's been such a part of my lifestyle since the '80s. I've just always known people who have done this too. I guess it's become more popular since "Mad Men." I mean, maybe. People tell me all the time, "Omigod — we're going to a 'Mad Men' party!"
Image: How should someone buy vintage, since sizes are so different nowadays?
JB: Just know your bust, waist and hips. Our sizes don't translate. Our clothing now is vanity-sized.
Image: What's something really special you have in your closet?
Bryant: One of my favorite things I've had forever is a 1950s hand-painted silk bag that I found at the Salvation Army. I have an amazing YSL peasant blouse from the '70s that I found at a thrift store that I love. I've held on to that thing forever.
Image: Everyone calls you Janie. But your first name is Katherine. Just curious — why go by Janie?
Bryant: It tends to be a Southern custom. When someone says Katherine ... I know they don't know who I am!
Image: Whom do you recognize and relate to most in the show?
Bryant: My grandparents remind me so much of the show. The three-martini lunches, the meetings, dinner parties — there definitely is that familiarity. But me….both Rachel and Betty. Especially growing up in the South, you're expected to get married and have kids. So that's why I say Betty. I definitely grew up with that understanding, even though there wasn't pressure from my family — except a bit from my dad. That's still a cultural thing too. And Rachel, because she's this other part: a successful, independent businesswoman who has discovered who she is.
Image: Whose wardrobe do you envy from the cast?
Bryant: I love Trudy. I love Betty too. Betty because of her different parties, hostessing, petticoats, ruffles and aprons. She's all about the ladylike look. She's all girl. Trudy, she just has the best hats! She's so beautiful and picture-perfect. I love her style and her suits. I think she's a character that keeps up with fashion.
Image: What about your book?
Bryant: I am so proud of this book. I can't even believe how it came together. I'm proud of the message that's about getting your own personal style and becoming your own leading lady. Feel great from the inside and work outwardly. I think it's what you tell yourself when you look in the mirror. I think it's also about what you say to people in conversations about yourself. Find the things that make you feel special and go with that.
Lou Eyrich, "Glee"
Eyrich won a Costume Designers Guild award for "Glee," which has garnered 19 Emmy nominations. She was behind the über-luxe looks of "Nip/Tuck" and has dressed some of the coolest crooners on the scene. (Prince is one of many on her resume.) Her quirky/cool vision for "Glee" drew the attention of Madonna and Lady Gaga when she created costumes paying homage to the divas but realized through the Eyrich eye.
Image: Congrats on having more than 4 million Facebook fans for "Glee." Did you expect the show to be this huge?
Eyrich: Not at all. Not me. I didn't see it coming.
Image: Why do you think it's so popular?
Eyrich: Timing. The right time for something so upbeat, funny and original. There are also so many people I know who secretly love and loved glee club, or secretly love to sing and dance. The music is what a lot of people love about the show. Everyone can relate to something. Plus, with such a huge cast, adults can identify with adults, kids with kids.
Image: How do you create such bespoke costumes for so many characters?
Eyrich: Well, we work super-long hours. During the pilot, I worked with Ryan Murphy (the show's creator), and we did a huge concept board for each character. Personas. Flavor boards. Like Finn is a jock. An All-American jock. Where would he shop? Old Navy, Gap, Target and Abercrombie & Fitch. Most guys in general don't really care where they shop. They have their look, and that's how they dress all the time.
Image: How did you do your research for the characters?
Eyrich: I went on EBay and got yearbooks from Ohio. We also did lots of flashbacks … so I also ordered them from the '80s and '90s. But as we started going, we realized we had to elevate. Make them punchier for TV.
Image: Jane Lynch must be the most comfortable character on set.
Eyrich: She does say, "I get to come on set and put on my tracksuit." Adidas has been very generous, but we need at least seven to nine tracksuits per episode, so we had to start custom making them.
Image: "Glee" is geek-chic. You've also embraced body image. A girl in a larger size looks as great as a smaller girl. How have you been so successful with this? It's so important today with self-esteem.
Eyrich: I think a lot of it has to do with the actor and who the character is. Each person embodies their character. They just make it seem so real. Mercedes, for example, embraces diva-glam. She works it. With her, we try to punch up the gold jewelry and the bright colors. She's not afraid to put on a pair of zebra-print pants with a purple T-shirt with a boom box on it. She's confident.
Image: Were you inspired by anyone specifically for certain characters?
Eyrich: For Rachel, we were inspired by a couple of different ideas. One was Molly Ringwald in "The Breakfast Club," kinda quirky, outcast but gets the cool boy. And Tracy [the character played by Reese Witherspoon] from "Election." A little bit of Ali McGraw from "Love Story." Those were the three on the first concept board. Once Lea [Michele] was cast and brought in, it just really escalated from there, because she's just so darn cute.
Image: Has the show changed your life in any way?
Eyrich: It's made me love my craft again. It's made me love my job. I was starting to get a bit burnt out and looking at what's next. It's also the cast. I love this cast; I love working with them individually. The crew is delightful, my producers … we work well together to make the best show. It pushes me to do better and to try harder — if that's even possible! I love coming to work every day.
Image: What did it feel like to be nominated for the Emmy, and what are you thinking of wearing?
Eyrich: When I saw my name that morning, I kind of got a stomachache. First I got butterflies, because I've never gotten nominated, and then I was like, "Omigod, what am I going to wear?" I don't know exactly what I'm going to wear yet, but my old assistant from "Nip/Tuck" is Mila Hermanovski who just got second place in "Project Runway," so I might hit her up.
"Outstanding Art of Television Costume Design"; FIDM Museum and Galleries, 919 S. Grand Ave., Los Angeles; (213) 623-5821; Open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday. Free.

Snow is always an event worthy of posting about when it happens here in England.
A few shots of everyone doing Christmas and birthday things.
We had a fun week up in Scotland visiting castles, ice creameries, distilliaries, and gardens.
We missed the boat when it came to visiting Arran (and decided against a one day trip to Belfast from Stranraer). However it was a fun getaway without having to leave this island we live on.
A late problem with the car meant though that Greg has a 600 mile round trip to pick it up once the jag gets its clutch fixed… shame.

Naples was my first time to hop over to an island. That time it was an overnight affair and the island was Sicily. Unbeknownst to me I was backtracking the steps my grandparents had taken when they left Sicily to go to Naples and then to America, 100 years ago.
Naples fascinates me, the food, the wine, the erotic decay. One of the finest archeological museums in one of the most illogical of towns. Pizza that people try to emulate all over the world. Tailors who are unmatched for their craft and artistry. And there are the beautiful women, both the Italian, and the American, who flock to nearby areas of Positano, Ischia and Procida.
I am fascinated with the wines of the region. It was here that the indigenous varieties had their springboard back from obscurity and endangered status. Families like the Mastroberardino's, who clung resolutely to their instincts and gave us all a gift of wines from grapes like Aglianico, Fiano and Greco.
But today I want the wind in my face and the salt water misting our linen clothes. Outside is where the life in the South is lived, whether it is playing or eating or sitting at an outside table having coffee or playing scopa.
I had a note this week, from a young reader, who wrote:
"I have been reading your latest posts and think you are complaining too much. I like to read the posts that have passion, but it sounds like you just want to sound critical, as if that lends authority to your voice. Please, once in a while, come back to the wine trail in Italy and inspire us with your tales."
The young reader was right. We have gotten off the wine trail, just a little. In the next few weeks, there will be more emphasis on getting back on. There is some travel being planned. During that time, I probably won't have the connection to post. In any event, posting three times a week for the last two years has been quite a lot. Along with getting back on track, I must also drink from the well, drawing inspiration.
Thank you for your patience and continued visits to On the Wine Trail in Italy. There are more folks coming to the site and I feel the responsibility to not let anyone down.
Martha Graham said it best when she said, "I am only in competition with that person I know I can become."
Happy Spring and Easter Holiday.

Post subject: Ford T9 (Merkur) 5-speed to Kent block
Is there a readily available bell housing that will bolt to the Merkur T9 5-speed transmission and in turn bolt to the Kent seiries of blocks? I'd rather not have to source one from Redline to the tune of $$$$. Maybe something in the line of the Pinto 1600 or Capri 1600? Thanks, Dan

It woud surprise me if a T9 could be mated to a Kent 1600 as the Kents and the OHCs (a.k.a. Pinto) were totally different engines.

Hi Michael,
I think with the bell housing change it can be done. The Caterhams are doing it with the crossflows and Zetecs (same bell housing bolt pattern). Race line has a bell housing to suit, but pricey and shipping is a deal breaker. I was hoping there was an existing bellhousing state side that might fit the bill.

Post subject: how about a rear axle instead?
We wanted to switch to a 5-speed tranny on our mark II Cortina, but found changing to a different rear axle much easier. 20 years ago, we took a rear axle from a 6 cyl Capri. Needed to mount it about 1 inch further back with some home made brackets as the differential housing was a little longer. Also needed a different flange to match the driveshaft to the differential, but this was readily available, no need for a custom job. This changed the ratio from 3.9 to 3.22. Then we put on oversize tires, changing from P165-80R13 to P185-80R13. Now a speedometer reading of 55 is an actual speed of 71.6.
We hoped to get better fuel economy. And maybe we did, but it made the car much easier to drive at 70 mph, and you need to go that fast on the freeways around here. The car was considerably quieter, with the engine running at 800 fewer rpms at 60 mph. And, if it is causing more wear on the clutch, it is not much as we are still using the same clutch 100,000 miles later.

Burton power has bell housings with left or right starter mountings but run about $300.00 plus shipping. I havent done the job yet but I think you would be required to rework your clutch as well.
You may be lucky to get a used one from across the pond as the European Ford Sierra used the type 9 trans. These were from what i can tell, all left hand mounted starter so another starter would be necessary. Hopefully the flywheel will be okay but may need another clutch, clutch lever/rework etc. I added a couple pics. The first is type 9 from a Sierra. The second is T5 from a Ford Cosworth.
You may also be able to have your old bell housing reworked to accept the type 9 trans. Depending on the car you have, you will likely have to modify the trans tunnel for clearance issues and shifter location, fabricate a rear trans mount, find a proper length driveshaft, rework your speedo cable and gearing and reversing lamp circuit. Definitely quite a bit of work!!!!

Dan, what did you do to remedy you bell housing issue. I received a T9 yesterday for my current MK2 Estate project and the bell housing it came with, the 2 holes across the top don't match the block.

Here is some info on putting one behind a twin cam so same bolt pattern. There is a file a little further down in that thread that has some good info too.
I wondered too if the Pinto 1600 bell housing could work or be modified to work? Some time back I was comparing the alloy Pinto housing to the Cortina 2000e and Anglia 105e, maybe a concentric release bearing could help things too?? The Pinto housing in these pics has a cable operated clutch.

Kiwi...when you say the two top holes dont match the block...is it the XR4TI bellhousing? They mounted high up on the Pinto 2.3 block...see the two bolts at the top...I had to remove these two bolts and the Xr4Ti bellhousing used these holes. The 2 holes about an inch lower is where the Pinto bell bolted to. I dont know how the Kent compares, but to make this work on the 2.3, I had to use the Merkur bell, fork, fork ball pivot, and throwout bearing. The merker bell is longer than the pinto to match the increased input shaft length of the T9.

Yes it must be a Merkur Bellhousing as the top to bolts are high up the block. You can see the difference in the bell housings in the picture.

it is actually very easy to mate merkur gearbox to both a kent and 2.0ohc pinto engine. i have done it this way successfully twice. i mean successfully as in i drove my car across the country from az to nc twice with no issues.
as previously mentioned the top two bolts dont line up. doesnt matter just dont bolt them up. it will never ever do any harm with as little power these engine make. in the past several years of working on aircooled porsches and vw's i have pulled probably 50 engines and i bet only a 1/4 of them had all their bolt in them, and those engines are made of play dough.
so how i have done it both times, first time on a 711m kent engine and recently on a 2.0 ohc ( which happens to have the same bolt pattern as the kent as well as sharing flywheel and dimensions). on the kent engines you need a 71-72 pinto flywheel from a 711m engine, for the clutch you can use a hillman imp clutch disc which is 7.5" diameter with the correct 23 spline input shaft for the t9. you use the standard kent pressure plate. if you use the gearbox and bellhousing from a merkur (which most likely you will in the u.s being that it was the only car here with that trans) you will have no issue with input shaft depth and you may use the standard pinto pilot bearing. you use a merkur starter which also happens to be basically every ford from the 72 pinto with any engine all the way to the late 80's mustangs with the 2.3.
the hardest part is in all of this which is actually quite simple is switching from a hydraulic operated clutch to a cable. first buy this
now you basically just bolt that cable quadrant to you existing clutch pedal. it is very important to mount it correctly to ensure proper cable action. the cable must leave the housing without having an extreme angle towards the pivot. that is where it gets tricky, too little angle and it wont disengage the clutch fully to much and your clutch will work great but the cable will wear through the end of the housing quickly and will become sticky. it will be very tempting to just mount the cable adjuster in the old master cylinder hole but that puts the cable at a very extreme angle, i had to use a 1 3/8" hole saw about 1 inch above the old master cyl hole.
this sounds more difficult than it actually is, i can post pics if you want some clarification.
as for the driveshaft i just got a new one made using a slip yoke suiting a early 25 spline c3 trans as found in early mustangs with a straight six. it used the cortina rear flange.
so the most difficult part to find for this conversion other than a good t9 from a merkur is the correct flywheel. it must be from a kent powered pinto. it is the only car we got over here that used a kent engine with a modern ford starter. the starter ring gear depth is 3/4" of an inch shallower than the lucas starters in the cortinas.
i just finished installing a t9 in my 68 gt with a 2.0 pinto and it was identical to doing it on a kent with the exception of the clutch being an 8.5" disc.

wait brent, i think i sold you one of my transmissions? small world here in enfo land! since you are putting that into a mk2 i should also let you know that i did have issues with starter to steering linkeage clearance. i remedied it by getting this
which gave me a bit more clearance and allowed me to forgo using the external starter solenoid the stock pinto/merkur/mustang starter used.
as for the bolts not lining up, i have put several thousand hard miles on my mk1 gt without those bolts. i never had any issues with that conversion. that car is now in LA owned by shinya kimura. i built that car in 2007 and drove the hell out of it. as far as i know shinya hasnt had any issues either. the starter issue is more concerning.

A T9 5 speed box from a Sierra 1600 / 2000 OHC/Pinto will fit straight onto a Kent .
This T9 is in fact a 4 speed box with an overdrive .
The bell housing of a Cortina 3 / 4 / 5 1600 / 2000 OHC will fit also straight on the 5 speed as the original box is the same .
But mind , don't mix it up with the 1300 / 1600 box with aloy topcover .
Mind 6 cilinder T9 boxes have a longer primary shaft and some have a big bearing layshaft which sticks out in the bell housing .

hey harrie, yes you are correct those sierra boxes will fit straight up, however this being a north american enfo site it is important to note that we never got those guys over here. we only had a version of your xr4 variant called the Merkur Xr4ti. literally the only car imported into the united states that had a t9 gearbox. the bellhousing has a slightly different bolt pattern but is close enough to work on kents and ohc pinto's by only using the lower 4 bolts on the bellhousing. the upper two are slightly off.

I know these cars are not common over there but i see sometimes pictures of a car in USA i don't expect to be there .
The info in my message is that you might be able to fit a Cortina 3 bell housing onto this T9 gearbox although i don't know if Merkur has the long primary shaft or the big bearing on the layshaft .
The standard T9 box was to weak for the job and many died an early death , the overdrive ( 5th gear ) was driven over the layshaft and the old 4 speed box on which it is based was not up to that .
I don't know if you have them there but the MT75 gearbox is a lot stronger but in most cases they have a propshaft flange on them wich means you have to make a propshaft which slides at the midle bearing if you have a live rearaxle .

The Central Connecticut women's basketball team defeated Mount St. Mary's, 72-68, on Monday night. The Blue Devils (13-16, 7-11 NEC) close the 2012 season with a victory thanks to a team effort that had five players score in double-digits. The Mountaineers' (14-15, 10-8 NEC) led early in the game, but Central took control mid-way through the first half and never relinquished the lead.
Central fell behind 8-0 to start the game, but the Blue Devils railied to tie the game at 12-12. The Blue Devils' 12-4 run was sparked by four points from freshman Kaley Watras who finished the half with seven points.
The Blue Devils closed the period on an 11-2 run over the final seven and a half minutes. Junior Jaclyn Babe scored six of the 11 points over the stretch.
The Mount had two major runs in the second half that threatened the Blue Devils' lead. The first came at the start of the period when the Mountaineers scored seven straight points and eventually built a 12-2 run, which cut the Blue Devil lead to one.
Central answered, but could not put distance between themselves and the Mount until junior Kirsten Daamen hit a pair of free throws with 5:01 remaining. Daamen's free throws gave the Blue Devils a 54-42 lead.
From there, the Mount launched its second run on the scoreboard. The Mountaineers, used a 15-7 streak to cut the Blue Devil lead to 61-57, but the Central players responded and did not allow the Mount to get closer than four points over the final two minutes.
Sophomores Lauren Arbogast and Jessica Babe each hit a pair of free throws over the final 1:35 of the game. Jaclyn Babe was fouled twice in the final 30 seconds and hit all four shots from the line. Watras also hit a free throw in the final seconds. As a team, the Blue Devils finished the game 23-of-27 (85.2%) from the line.
The Blue Devils scored 39 second half points to earn the 72-68 victory. Jaclyn Babe scored 11 of her 19 points after the break and Daamen added eight points and five blocks that helped stop the Mountaineers' comeback. Daamen also had three steals in the second half.
Jaclyn Babe led the Blue Devils with 19 points. She was joined in double-digits by Watras (14), Daamen (12), Jessica Babe (11) and Arbogast (10).
Freshman Johnna Fisher was the only other Blue Devil to score in the game she had six points and grabbed four rebounds. Every Blue Devil player had atleast one rebound, led by five each for Jaclyn Babe and Arbogast.
"We played well today. I think it is an example of the team we can be," head coach Beryl Piper said after the game. "It is tough not making the NEC Tournament, but we learned a lot about our team with all the injuries this season and we will be back next year."
Statistical Notes From the 2012 Season:
Jaclyn Babe's 446 points this year rank as the sixth best single-season mark in program history.
Daamen's 70 blocks are the second best single-season total and she now has three of the top-10 seasons in program history.
Despite missing several games because of injury Jessica Babe logged 104 assists, tying for the ninth highest single-season total in program history.

Apple Threatens Wireless Industry Group For Daring To List Out Other App Stores
from the it's-generic,-get-used-to-it deptAs we've been discussing, Apple is on a quixotic battle to claim that "App Store" really stands for Apple Store, and that only it can use the obviously generic phrase. It's even sued Amazon over this, leading to Amazon's wonderful response in which it quoted Steve Jobs using the term "app store" to refer to other app stores.
And, now, just as Apple was pushing its new iOS strategy, it also sent the Wireless Industry Partnership a cease-and-desist, because it has an excellent App Store Catalog that provides a list of alternative app stores, as well as its App Store Reports, which provides some data and information about the various app stores to developers, who might find such info quite useful.
It's hard to see this as anything other than garden variety, obnoxious trademark bullying on the part of Apple. WIP isn't competing with Apple. There is absolutely no likelihood of confusion here. Apple's just being obnoxious.
WIP hasn't quite figured out how it's going to respond to the legal threat directly, but it did use the opportunity to point out how Apple seems to be attacking this resource for developers at a time when it claims that it's helping developers... and then lists out a bunch of other ways that Apple has become extremely anti-developer:
Apple can get away with pissing off developers for now, but, at some point, this is going to come back and bite them hard. And, seriously, does it really make that big of a difference if others use the term "App Store"? Honestly, going after WIP for this seems likely to do a lot more damage to Apple's relationship with developers than the idea that someone else might use the very generic and descriptive term "app store."
We provide the App Store Catalog and the App Store Report as resources for developers who want to succeed, to earn a living, and to have their work enjoyed by people around the world. It is a fact that the world of mobile app distribution is highly fragmented and that not every mobile phone user has an iOS device. This means there are a wide array of "application download services" out there that developers need to consider to widely distribute their apps, and the Catalog and Report have been very well received as a resource to help them do so. Despite Apple's attempts through trademark to create the impression that it's the only game in town, it's not. Developers need resources such as these, and they've been very warmly received. Perhaps that's part of the problem.
It's a bit ironic that just as Apple flashes that $2.5 billion payout figure -- one for which it should be applauded -- it's also taken several steps that many see as thwarting developers' success:
- Obsoleting several third-party apps by building their functionality into iOS 5
- Allegedly keeping apps out of the App Store if they compete too closely with Apple's own software
- Shutting down pay-per-install marketing systems
- Rejecting apps because they include a particular feature, then later adding that feature to the OS
- Squeezing developers and publishers with its in-app payment policies
And now it hits out at our attempts to support developers by helping them navigate the maze of distribution channels available to them -- including all the alternate channels outside of Apple's own (trademarked) App Store. Apple's repeated actions to wield control over its own ecosystem creates the impression that the developers in it live at Apple's behest; its attempt to control the generic term "app store" suggests that it's trying to extend that control beyond its own ecosystem as well.

Zac Brown Band's 'Keep Me in Mind' Stays at No. 1
After locking in the No. 1 position for two weeks prior to the charts "freezing" for the holidays, the Zac Brown Band continue to top the charts again this week with their hit single 'Keep Me in Mind.'
The tune was penned by Brown, along with Wyatt Durrette and singer-songwriter Nic Cowan, who is an artist signed to Brown's Southern Ground Artists record label. The tune is the fourth release from the band's platinum-selling album 'You Get What You Give.'
