Place of Birth
With Ryback making his return on Monday Night Raw, many are wondering about the fate of his former tag team partner, Curtis Axel. It looks like management will utilize him as a role player in the singles division. The former Intercontinental Champion worked a match this week against Kofi Kingston on WWE Main Event. The company really likes having a veteran performer like Axel around, so job security should not be an issue anytime soon.
October 29, 2014
When he was feuding with John Cena, Bray Wyatt appeared to be a lock to remain in the WWE main event scene for quite some time. When that feud ended, he was able to maintain some momentum when Chris Jericho made his return to the company and feuded with Wyatt. Since there is a lack of top level talent in WWE, there are now talks that management could have Wyatt feuding with Dolph Ziggler over the Intercontinental Championship, even though it seems out of the norm for his character to chase a secondary belt.
September 10, 2014
Since neither man was involved in a feud, it looks like WWE is about to pair Antonio Cesaro and Sheamus in a feud for the United States Heavyweight Championship. The story between the two might have been initiated during WWE Main Event. Management has been known to drop stories abruptly, so if this does not make it to Monday Night Raw or Smackdown, then the feud is not going forward.
August 20, 2014
In a sign that management might have forgiven her, Emma was not only given a match on WWE Main Event this week, but she was also given a victory over Cameron, who recently did a heel turn. Rumors floated around that the company was not going to be utilizing her on television after she was arrested for shoplifting, but it looks like WWE is attempting to avoid further attention to the incident by going about as usual.
July 16, 2014
A video of the match between Sheamus and Bray Wyatt at WWE Main Event this week. It is the first singles match between the two performers.
April 30, 2014
A video of the match between El Torito and Hornswoggle on WWE Main Event this week. The company wants to have these two performers working a series of matches, so expect to see more interaction between the two of them on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown in the coming weeks.
April 24, 2014
A video of the battle royal that took place on WWE Main Event this week to determine a new challenger for Paige and the Divas Championship. Tamina Snuka got the victory and a title shot at Extreme Rules 2014.
April 17, 2014
On WWE Main Event, Hornswoggle teamed up with Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre, which has caused some speculations to arise. Rumors over the past several weeks have stated that Heath Slater was unhappy backstage because he was not receiving a push. However, his absence on this show was unrelated, as Slater missed the show because he is heading to Saudi Arabia for a tour with WWE.
April 17, 2014
A video from WWE Main Event of a match between Alexander Rusev, who made his in ring debut on Monday Night Raw this week against Zack Ryder, and Sin Cara.

April 11, 2014
In order to increase interest in WWE Main Event this week, WWE did the third match between Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan on the show. Here is a video highlight of that match.
April 11, 2014
During WWE Main Event, it appeared that Dean Ambrose had suffered a serious rib injury. It looks like the Shield member is fine enough to keep working. He will be making an appearance on Smackdown this week, and Ambrose is not currently scheduled to miss any of the live events taking place over the next couple of days.

March 20, 2014
On Monday Night Raw, it was announced that Undertaker was going to be making his first appearance on WWE Main Event this week. While it may seem odd for a main event guy of his status to be on that television show, the belief is that it is being done so that Vince McMahon can tout the secondary and tertiary shows during contract negotiations with the networks.
March 19, 2014
An interesting stat about the WWE Network has surfaced this week. Vince McMahon decided to air WWE Main Event live on his new subscription service, yet ratings for when the episode aired on ION actually increased from the week before, leading many within the company to believe that fans might prefer to watch things on television instead.
March 7, 2014
WWE Main Event is looking like it will be moved to the WWE Network soon, as the television deal between Vince McMahon and ION is set to expire in a month. Reports have surfaced that the network is not interested in renewing the deal. Since WWE is currently negotiating a lucrative new television deal for Monday Night Raw and Smackdown, other shows are being pushed into the background for the time being.
March 4, 2014
During the start of the latest episode of WWE Main Event, there was a quick mention about the death of Big Daddy V. The company also added a quick tribute to the upcoming episode of Smackdown as well. Still no official word as to why the company purposely neglected to throw up a quick memorial during Monday Night Raw this week.
February 27, 2014
On Tuesday night in Ontario, California, Drew McIntyre taped a match for WWE Main Event, where he worked against Intercontinental Champion Big E Langston.

World Premier Wrestling is doing a huge independent wrestling show this weekend in New York City. The company has booked Jimmy Snuka, Crimson, Matt Striker, Nunzio, Matt Morgan, Roddy Piper, Angelina Love and Mickie James. The belief is that there will be some sort of segment involving Piper and Snuka during the evening.
March 7, 2014
In the historic main event of Wrestlemania 1, Hulk Hogan and Mr T, accompanied by Jimmy Snuka, took on Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff, who were accompanied by Bob Orton.

July 1, 2014
As many of you already know by now, several WWE stars were on the receiving end of a release today, as the company is trying to cut cost a bit. As that is happening, Mark Henry decided to celebrate his 18th year anniversary with the company by posting a message on Twitter, which did not sit well with Curt Hawkins, who was one of the performers released. Hawkins posted this response to Henry.
June 12, 2014
A status update on Twitter from Mick Foley, where he stated that TNA wished him a happy birthday while WWE has yet do so.

Review of "80 Days" ("80 Egunean")
At home that night, Maite takes out her gift from Axun and finds an embroidered portrait of the island they shared their first kiss on. It's a lovely piece that Maite is quite taken with.
On Day 80, there is a funeral. It's for Mikel, who has finally passed away. Maite is there, and gives her condolences to Axun, asking if they can meet for coffee soon. Axun says no and watches Maite leave. She breaks down sobbing in the car with her daughter and her husband, who think she's just upset about Mikel. Her daughter can't believe they are burying her ex-husband in their mausoleum and yells at her mother, who screams back for her to stop. Axun keeps all her of her feelings inside, and it's finally reached a point where she can't ignore them anymore. They come pouring out in the form of tears, never to be spoken to anyone.
In the last scene of the film, it's day 974, so a few years have passed. The two women run into one another by chance again, but how will it play out this time?
While 80 Days can be somewhat slow at times, the dialogue is fresh and fun, with the ages of the women being irrelevant at most points. The only time it is at the forefront is when viewers are asked to consider how long Axun has lived unhappily, taking care of her husband before herself. She lights up upon seeing Maite, and their conversations are enjoyable to watch. While both women seem suited for their specific roles, their actual chemistry could have been a little stronger. But their acting makes up for the lack of sexual tension at some crucial moments.
For a story about two elderly women in a tug of war lesbian romance, Jon Garano and Jose Mari Goenaga have produced an exceptional film.
"80 Days" is currently screening at international film festivals. Check out 80egunean.com for info on where it's playing near you.

The Tigers are ranked 13th in the nation this week according to GymInfo.
Feb. 27, 2012
COLUMBIA, Mo.--Mizzou Gymnastics has moved up four spots to No. 13 in the GymInfo National Top 25 Rankings this week. The improvement comes after the Tigers earned a 196.250-193.825 victory over Bowling Green State on Feb. 24.
The rankings are now based on Regional Qualifying Average, which determines a team's qualification for the NCAA regional competition. It is calculated through a compilation of a team's and an all-around competitor's six best regular-season-meet scores, of which three must be away. To obtain the final number, the high score is eliminated and the remaining five scores are averaged.
At No. 13 in the nation, the Tigers boast an RQS of 195.790 and a season average of 195.341. The Tigers earned their season-high score of 196.375 against Oklahoma on Feb. 17. Missouri is also ranked No.13 on the vault with a vault RQS of 49.070. The Tigers sit in a tie for 15th on the uneven bars with Penn State and LSU, and the team is also in a tie for No. 16 in the nation on the balance beam. On the floor exercise, Mizzou comes in at No. 16 as well, with an RQS of 48.975.
Also leading the nation, senior Mary Burke is ranked No. 13 in the all-around competition. Burke set a career-high score of 39.475 against Bowling Green last Friday and boasts an RQS of 39.260. Burke is also ranked in a tie for 20th in the nation on the vault and 26th on the uneven bars. After sharing the bars title with Burke against Bowling Green, Heizelman ranks 33rd in the nation on the bars with an RQS of 9.825. Freshman Rachel Updike is ranked 29th in the nation on the vault, 44th in the nation on the balance beam and 36th on the floor exercise. Updike boasts a season-high 9.925 on floor and holds an RQS of 9.835.
Missouri travels to Denver this weekend for a quad-meet with Denver, West Virginia and Western Michigan. The meet is set for 7 p.m. CT. Keep checking in to MUTigers.com for more information on Mizzou Gymnastics. Fans can also follow along on the team's Twitter page, @TigerGymnastics.

Terrific bag!
No question about it. I bought this gym bag more than 20 years ago and have used it consistently through the years - 5-6 days a week and it held up!!
It should be more available in retail stores. Simple, the best!
By: Angelo S.
10- star
I've had my bag since they first began and purchased it at Sports Authority. It has generated so much attention at the gym where I work out that 5 others have gone out and purchased one as well.
I've had to replace my bag a couple of times but needless to say Ogio has stood by their lifetime Guarantee and has replaced it with no hassle. I recommend this product to anyone who needs a workout bag. 10 stars!
By: Ardell H.
best carry-on ever made!
I have used one of these almost exclusively for the past ten years. It is hands down the best designed piece of luggage I have ever owned, I live out of the thing for 200 or more days a year.
Please never stop making them!
By: Robert C
Looooove it!
I am currently purchasing my 8th one of these bags. My wife and I love them for everything from the gym to emergency suppies kits in the cars and even traveling to the beach or the overnight trip someplace. We love these bags and will be buying even more of them.
By: Gladys
Best Gym Bag Ever
My first Ogio bag was replaced by the lifetime warranty due to the cracked handle and that was over 14 years ago after 5 years of usage. The second bag was stolen out of my car 8 years ago, the third bag is now being used by my husband and I'm about to order one for me again.
You do the math, they last and work well. The only thing I don't like or use is the comb or brush.

Lucked out
Was at a check out at Goodwill and looked over and saw a uniquely shaped piece of what I thought was luggage. Took a closer look and realized it was for use in a locker. It was in excellent shape except for a little bit of color worn off the trim. Saw the reviews and very excited to take to the gym. Now I can get rid of all of my pain in the neck crumpled duffle bags and use this for travel as well. Thanks to this company for making such a great bad and thanks to the person who gave it to good will. I will not be this lucky again :)

I have had my athletic bag for more than 25 years and it's still going strong. Only now is the handle beginning to fray. So I've decided to get another!! Bravo!!!!

The Best!
I've had my Ogio Locker bag for 29 years and it is still going strong. The top carry handle has been cracked for about 10 years but is still together, so no big deal. I'll want to buy the newer model but then wonder, why get rid of the original when it is stil working well for me? I have used my bag at the gym, and always take it when I travel, especially for weekend trips. Fits in the overhead on planes, in lockers, behind the seat in my truck, on the motorcycle - Everywhere. It is my work bag that I take to the fire department also, and carry's everything I need for my shift. Yes, it's a little more expensive than some other bags, but well worth it. Do you really think a $20 bag will still be around 30 years from now? Another great feature of this bag is the rigidity. It holds its shape year after year and won't crush down. Now that I think about it, maybe I will buy a new one and donate my old bag to a friend - It still has a lot of years left in it!

Carry Handle Cracks
These Athletic bags last me about 5 years for the past 15 years. The carry handle cracks usually on the fourth year. Other Gym rats say that it happens on their Ogio bag also. People see my bag in my locker and they always ask me where I purchased it.

I've noticed a few bloggers making bucket lists for the seasons. You've probably seen them: In the summer, they want to go to the beach, try surfing, throw a BBQ. In the fall, they want to make s'mores, go camping, wear plaid, etc.
You all know I love fall. And you know I love making lists. So I figured, why not? Here's what I would put on my fall bucket list:
1. Go apple picking.
2. Make an apple crisp.
3. Go camping.
4. Hike a trail through fall leaves.
5. Drink apple cider.
You may notice a propensity for the outdoors and, well, eating. I am who I am.
And what a coincidence, I've already checked off three of those things. Last Friday, Joey, Boges, a few of our friends, and I went apple picking at an orchard upstate.
Bogey clearly loved it most of all, but Joey and I also had a great time picking our own apples and drinking cider. (Hello, Bucket List Items #1 and #5!)
Last night, I decided to check off item #2 by making apple crisp for the first time evah. Here's the recipe I used, in case you have your own list to tackle this season. Bonus: It's also gluten free as long as you use gluten-free oats.
Whiskey Pecan Apple Crisp
(gently modified from this recipe)
For the filling:
6-7 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
1 tablespoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon lemon juice
For the topping:
1 cup hazelnut flour
1 cup gluten-free whole oats
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/4 cup honey
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
For the garnish:
Cinnamon Whiskey (I used Fireball)
Cinnamon for sprinkling
Vanilla ice cream and/or whipped cream (optional…but recommended)
Step One: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Step Two: Combine the apples, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, 3 tablespoons honey, and lemon juice. Stir until apples are coated evenly.
Step Three: In a separate bowl, whisk the hazelnut flour, oats, salt, remaining cinnamon, and pecans.
Step Four: Use a fork or your fingers to mix in the remaining honey and butter until the topping has a crumbly consistency.
Step Five: Pour apples into two 9-inch pie dishes or baking dishes. Cover with the crumble topping.
Step Six: Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Step Seven: Spoon half a cup to one cup of crisp into a bowl while still warm. Drizzle with 1 oz of the cinnamon whiskey. Top with ice cream, whipped cream, and cinnamon as desired. Enjoy!
Ohhh, apartment living.
Most of the time, I am totally fine with our apartment. Is it the newest, most modern place on the planet. No. But our building is reasonably well maintained, and I love our neighborhood, so I overlook a lot of things.
At its core, it's just a basic one-bedroom that is nice enough because we make it nice enough.
One thing that I really do not like, though? Our lack of closet space.
The bedroom has one minuscule closet that would actually be impossible for Joey and me to share, so it is exclusively Joey's. I use an IKEA wardrobe instead, and while it is marginally bigger than the closet, it's still not much.
Over the weekend, though, I decided to see if I could maximize the space I had with just three simple closet organizing additions. And it I was able to create this:
(Side note: I am wildly impressed with anyone who can take a decent photo of their closet. I am never successful in my attempts. Probably because, unlike this person, not all of my clothes are the same three colors. You will just have to trust me that it now looks worlds better in person.)
The biggest issue I had before was that my wardrobe only had one hanging bar across the top and two shelves for shoes. I have to be totally honest: I'm not that much of a shoes person. In New York, you pound your shoes into the pavement day after day, so, to me, it feels silly to spend much on something I know I will have to replace after six months or less. The point of that mini confession is that I don't really have that many shoes to begin with. And especially in the fall, after I retire so many sandals and wedges until April, I really don't need nearly so much space for my kicks.
Pro tip: By positioning your shoes so one shoe faces front and the other faces back, you can fit up to an additional pair of shoes in the same amount of square footage that you could if you had all the shoes facing the same direction.
I started my closet TrAnSfOrMaTiOn by removing the top shoe shelf. Already, so much more space! To better utilize it, I added a double hanging bar. Instantly, I had doubled my hanging space. I arranged my clothes so tops, sweaters, and jackets hung from the top bar and skirts hung from the bottom bar.
Next, I added a hanging shoe/accessory organizer to hold the pairs that didn't fit at the bottom. This also worked as a great means to separate my tops/sweaters/jackets from my dresses, which take up the right side of the wardrobe.
Finally, I hung a handbag file next to the shoe organizer. This allowed me to hang some of the bags that were currently in the shelves next to the wardrobe, opening up shelf space for other storage.
The result is seriously life-changing — I can actually see all my clothes! And it totally inspired me to straighten up some of the other areas of my home that cause me stress — stay tuned for more DIY updates.
What are your tricks for creating more space in cramped areas? Anyone else working on organizing projects this fall?
Last weekend, I did something I've never had the gumption to do before: I did a bit of dumpster diving.
Well, technically there was no diving. Or even a dumpster. But I did spot a GIANT gold picture frame where they put our building's garbage (in the alley behind the building) and take it home with me.
It's in almost perfect condition (it still had the cardboard corner protectors on it!), and there weren't any bugs or weird smells on it. (I swear, I inspected that thing like a hawk.) And it's GIANT. Roughly 2×3 feet.
I think it could be the perfect solution to the blank space above my dresser (that continues to mock me every.single.day it remains blank). Now I just need to decide how I want to style it.
So far, I've come up with five different options — but I want opinions. Here's what I'm thinking:
Leave it blank (and possibly hang lights on it)
Apparently this is a trend? I don't hate the look, and I do have a bunch of string lights from my parents' party I could hang up. But it still feels…blank to me. Maybe the secret is having a whole bunch. I do have one other gold frame…but I'm not sure that's enough.
Create a chalkboard with paint
I like this idea because the repurposing possibilities are endless, and it could be created in an afternoon. Plus, it could be fun to switch up the quote for different season/events/etc.
DIY (Cross-stitch) Painting
I've also been toying with the idea of painting something abstract-ish. I'm not actually that artistic, but I could definitely create something like this faux cross-stitch design. Remember when I made this adorable actual cross stitch? Maybe something like that, or a bigger, more abstract version like in this photo.
Song lyric as art
Another alternative to a traditional painting that I can still DIY is this song lyric mural (that I discovered when the lovely Kayla pinned it!). I could do the lyrics of our first dance song, or find a poem I like, or anything, I suppose. Sort of a more permanent version of the chalkboard quote.
Professionally commissioned Bogey portrait
I think I'm kidding. But also…kind of not? I mean, that's kind of adorable. And maybe it could be awesome and hilarious? What are our thoughts?
So, what do you think? Haaaaaaalp me.
I'm not going to start this post with something cliche like, "Can you believe it's already September?" I promise.
Summer didn't fly by for me…maybe because in New York we're all still waiting with bated breath for the blistering summer we're used to. Instead, the weather has been deliciously mild, I've only sweat through my clothes a handful of times, and now it feels like we're gently sliding into autumn without much fanfare.
I'm okay with this. I prefer a long fall anyway.
Speaking of the last month of summer, I have a couple party-themed posts coming your way, including the details of my parents' anniversary party this past weekend. So sit tight. Fun is on the way.
Until then, I thought today would be an appropriate day to think about what I want to accomplish this fall. The bonus round of this game of my goals being, of course, sticking to my broader simplification goals. Here we go!
1. Bring my lunch every day this month.
I can't count today because I bought lunch (I hadn't made the goal yet, you guys.) But it's my goal that by October 1st, I'll only have one "lunch" charge in my Mint account.
2. Update our desk…without spending any money.
No, this is not a heavy-handed hint for you all to donate a new desk to me. I want to create a desk out of two file cabinets (including the one I already have) and a butcher block top. My plan is to sell my existing Parsons Desk (here on CL, if anyone local is interested!) for enough to find another file cabinet and buy the butcher block at IKEA. Wish me luck.
3. Perform my seasonal closet purge.
I've been really good about shopping, so this will be a much lighter lift than it usually is. In general, I just need to take out my cold-weather clothes and put away summer stuff. If I wasn't completely dubious about our cement walls' ability to hold anything heavier than a picture frame, I would sell my IKEA wardrobe and reconstruct something like this in my closet corner. Though we did get that rod in the front closet to stay up, so maybe Joey can work some wizardry.
I feel like I'm forgetting something, but those three things seem like a good start.
What are your fall goals?
So…notice anything new? The blog got an update!
(If you are not actually on my site right now, you might not be able to tell. You should hop on over on a desktop when you can. Because design work is really hard for me, guys.)
I've been meaning to give the ol' girl a little makeover for a while, but this week I finally got around to it. Not too shabby, eh? I also learned how to crop circles and overlay patterns in Photoshop. It was a big week.
Speaking of little updates, have we discussed my book collection? I love owning loads of books. One day, I hope to have a library or at least a giant wall of them somewhere in my home, but for now, I settle for two little shelves in the living room.
The problem? My book collection is often busting at the seams — and my sweet little shelves can only do so much.
Fortunately, I've found a few ways to incorporate the books into the rest of our apartment's decor. This solves the problem of the shelves being too crowded, and provides me completely free decor ideas. Win-win!
Here are my four favorite ways to decorate with books:
Anyone who has been in my apartment knows that I am extremely efficient with the amount of space we have. Our apartment is by no means large (heyyyy, NYC real estate…), but we've made the most of what we have. A perfect example? Our kitchen cabinets. For whatever reason (cough…they're cheap…cough), our building owners didn't built our kitchen cabinets up to the ceiling. That means there's about two feet of dead space above the cabinets. Dead. As. A. Doornail.
Rather than mourn the lost cabinet space forever, though, I instead choose to look at the tops of the cabinets as a long-lost display shelf. I use it to store my dutch oven, the crock pot, cake stands, and, of course, all of our cookbooks. The best part? The books add a bit of color to an otherwise bland (and dead) spot.
It has to be said: Our desk is really hard to photograph well. I feel like it looks nice in person, but it always comes across a little shabby in photos. But the point is, a few weeks ago I was on a mission to make our desk look a little more deliberate and involved in the rest of our decor. One way to do that (that was TOTALLY free)? Adding a few of our most colorful books to prop up our desk light.
Another great place for a colorful stack of books? Our coffee table. When we first moved to our apartment, I was totally bummed out that we couldn't paint. As a result, though, I've found a bunch of other ways to bring color into this totally blank slate. (Besides, given how fickle I can be with decor, it's probably better that I couldn't commit to one color in the beginning.)
A few of my favorite hardbacked books make a great focal point for the room. Bonus: My bookshelves are starting to look at lot less jam-packed.
And finally, we mix a little nerdiness with a little bit of girlie-girl by using a stack of books to display perfume on our dresser. (And because I love a theme, obviously I tried to pick a few of my girliest books for this pile.)
How do you store your books?
As a textbook Type-A individual, I can tell you (in excruciating detail) the exact areas of my home that are not organized in a satisfactory way.
In no specific order:
1. The wooden trunk at the foot of our bed.
2. The file cabinet next to the desk.
3. The desk drawer.
4. The back shelves of our front closet.
5. The tupperware cabinet.
6. The linen closet.
7. The corner of our bedroom next to Joey's side of the bed that I am perpetually trying to make peace with because the dude needs one corner that his wife leaves alone.
Sometimes, when it looks like I'm spacing off, I'm thinking terrible thoughts about these areas of the apartment. Terrible thoughts.
I bring this up because, prior to this weekend, there was one other thing on that list: my wardrobe.
I'm pretty good about cleaning out my closet regularly. I've said before that I try to do this at least twice a year, and it's always the first thing I think of when I start to get serious about simplifying.
Putting it bluntly, I love shopping. I love new clothes, I love styling outfits. It's a serious hobby of mine. The problem is when that "hobby" translates into too little closet space and too small of a savings account. Since cutting back on shopping was one of my simplification goals, I decided that paring down what I had (but never wore) should come next.
Of course, when you love shopping, there is nothing less fun that not shopping and getting rid of clothes. So I decided to find a way to make it more fun.
Enter the clothing swap.
About a year ago, I did a cross-country swap with two of my blogger friends, Kayla and Madison. I had so much fun styling the new clothes (and seeing how they styled mine), and I had been meaning to replicate the experience with some of my local friends for a while. Well, after a conversation with five of my pals about how we were all wanting to simplify and spend more money, the swap basically planned itself.
And you know what? It was actually way more fun that just shopping. We ate snacks, chatted, and had fun trying on things we might never have purchased on our own. Everyone got rid of at least a bag or two of old clothes, and almost everyone walked away with a few new things.
Here are a few tips for planning your own clothing swap:
1. Start with a clean space.
Between the six of us, we had about eight bags of clothes to go through. I was so glad that I had gone through my own clothes in advance and made room in my bedroom for us to spread everything out. Plus, if you're working in a messy space, things that you don't want to swap are bound to get mixed in. Bonus points if you have a movable clothing rack to display everything on and help keep things organized.
2. Size up your guest list.
GET IT? But seriously. Your entire guest list does not have to be the same size (odds are you are not only friends with people who share your pant size), but everyone should be close enough that exchanges can be made. For example, one of my friends is busty-er with a narrow waist, another is smaller on top with a curvier booty, another is slender all over, another has a perfect hourglass, etc. The idea is that everyone shares at least one size (whether it's dresses, skirts, tops, or whatever) with at least one other person at the party. Plus, if you are like my group, some of the things are getting tossed because they don't fit anymore, so they will probably fit someone else.
3. Have a full-length mirror handy.
You are essentially turning your home into a dressing room — good lighting and a full-length mirror or two are crucial.
4. Mind the menu.
This might be over-thinking things, but consider serving a healthy-ish meal with more decadent treats after everyone has tried on clothes. Maybe it's just me, but I never feel my best after I eat something high-calorie or fattening, and I certainly don't feel like trying on clothes. So instead of pizza, we had a giant salad with grilled chicken and veggies with hummus. Then, when the clothes had been doled out, we ate cookies. Because we're only human, you guys.
5. Have a plan for what gets leftover.
Fortunately with this group of girls, no one was offended if any of their clothes went unclaimed. Prior to the swap, we just agreed anything leftover would get donated. The bonus of the backup plan is that no one is tempted to take home anything they don't love just because they don't want to see it thrown out. SOMEONE will benefit it — it just won't be someone from our group.
Post-swap, I'm pretty pleased to report that I have three new skirts and a top — AND a super-organized closet that makes it a million times easier to decide what to wear each day.
Have you hosted a clothing swap? What tips can you pass along?

Coffee House/Cafe "Crema" now open in Harvard Square!
Just saw that Crema, a self-proclaimed "independent coffee house/cafe" has opened finally, in the space previously occupied by the small Au Bon Pain location in Harvard Square (the BIG au bon pain near Out of Town News is still going strong).
Initial reviews are positive, my coworkers just bought salads and sandwiches at lunch and gave them a thumb's up, way up.
All of those who want to support local biz in the Square, you have a new opportunity!
Looking forward to trying their espresso, since their name references it so clearly...
re: Chipper
Hi Chipper,
It is next to/near the Bertucci's on Brattle St. Kind of across from the hardware store and near EMS.
re: eastiefoodie
Awesome. Thanks Jardinia. Someone just spoke highly of their lemon curd cupcake on the cupcake thread - I'm there! :)
re: Chipper
OMG. What did I do to deserve those lemon curd cupcakes?? Thanks again Jardinia! I can't wait to go back and get some more! :)
I stopped in briefly during the May Fair last weekend. I liked the look and feel of it and the pastries, which I did not try, looked very appetizing and the sandwich choices sounded good too. I have to admit, however, that I was disappointed in my espresso. It was too bitter and it took about five minutes for the barista to produce it, even though there were no other orders ahead of ours. I wouldn't mind a wait if it were a perfect espresso, but there's no way they're going to process lots of orders if it takes 5 minutes per espresso. Hopefully they'll get the hang of it with more practice. I really do want to support this place, however, so I will return and try the food and order another espresso to see if they've improved.
I've been hitting Crema fairly frequently, and overall, I really like it.
Coffee - I've only had the house dark roast and it's really good. I haven't tried the Terroir or any of the specialty coffee drinks.
Baked goods - these have been really good to downright mediocre.
homemade english muffin - I really like this. Very light and fluffy. They could be a little more generous with the butter though.
Scones - hit or miss. The hits have been the pear ginger scone and the lemon apricot scone. The huge tasteless miss was the oatmeal pecan one. ugh. Such a disappointment.
Quiche - I've only tried the spinach/feta one and it was tasty. Very nice crust with the right mix of egg to stuff. I wish the slice was a little bigger though.
Egg sandwich - pretty good. I got this on the english muffin. The scrambled eggs were nice and fluffy and I think I got it with cheese and something else. It was undersalted and then I spilled the salt packet on the eggs. So, my taste was skewed. But, I did like my undersalted bite.
Also, re: the crema on the espressos. According to one of the baristas, they want to start making little designs and/or in the crema. It will be interesting to see these if they do have time to make them.
Overall, very friendly service and a nice comfortable space. I particularly like the "bar" area next to where they make sandwiches and the upstairs area. I don't like the common table in the front. I suspect, when the weather gets nicer and they open the front windows, it will be very pleasant in the front.
re: beetlebug
thanks for the tip about the homemade english muffin--really fantastic, esp. since i'd never thought of an english muffin as having any potential before. very light, lightly toasted served with just butter and raspberry jam for $1.25. whattadeal.
(great espresso's too!)
re: beetlebug
I forgot to add that I've also tried the cocoa banana muffin. Nice big chunks of banana mixed in with the strong chocolate flavor. It's intense (in a good way).
re: beetlebug
I had one of those muffins and it was delicious! Paired very nicely with my Red Crema drink, a Roobios (sp?) Latte with honey and cinnamon.
The grilled cheese with bacon and tomato added is also amazing.
(Full disclosure, one of the owners is a high school friend of my youngest brother and her parents are friends of my parents...)
re: finlero
Very nice appearance inside, and a nice location. Co-owned by the owner of Felipe's, the Mexican burrito shop in the Garage in Harvard Square. Wide selection of hot and cold drinks, pastries and sandwiches. Coffee, however is nothing special. There's nothing wrong with it, but this is not a "Chowish" destination for coffee or tea.
re: lipoff
If I were downtown would I make a special trip to Crema? Probably not. But, if you pass through the square and would like a pick me up, this is a nice alternative to Starbuck and Peets. Especially if you want a little snack to go with your coffee. Personally, I don't care for the snacks at either of those chains, although I do love Peet's coffee and the new pressed coffee at Starbucks.
Also, it's one more way of supporting a local establishment v. a chain. It's getting more and more difficult to do so in the square.
I just finished an egg sandwich on and English Muffin which was really good. The English muffin is lifght and fluffy, almost no crunch even though it was toasted.The scrambled eggs are very creamy, which is unusual in my experience. It could have used a little salt, but I'm happy to add that myself.
The cafe au lait is fine, but not really an au lait since there is foam everywhere. I wish I could get a good au lait here.
re: EmmaFrances
> I wish I could get a good au lait here.
EmmaFrances, was curious how you felt about Peet's? I've always really liked their cafe au lait. Also, the Starbucks in the Garage has a Clover machine; although I haven't been to that branch, I've really enjoyed getting my pressed coffee as a misto. Keeping it totally local, have you tried Simon's on Mass Ave? They have a reputation for being serious about their coffee, including how they steam their milk.
re: finlero
Oh, someone pushed my CaL button. I hate ordering a cafe au lait as a misto, but do it anyway and it usually comes out ok. I would like the meet the ad wizard that came up with that one and give him a piece of my foot up his keister. [serenity now!]
Simon's does a decent cafe au lait but it usually seems a tad weak to me and doesn't retain its temperature well (now I am being picky). Peet's has been hit or miss for me. I've been equally unimpressed with Cafe Crema, but it still gets me my fix, and I like the space, the people and the food there.
Is there a truly fantastic cafe au lait in Boston?
re: EmmaFrances
Glad you didn't spill the salt (the way I did).
I do wish that they would put salt and pepper shakers on the tables. I hate using those little packets because I always have an accident with them.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that George Howell was leading our coffee tasting/lecture at school about a week ago. During his lecture, he mentioned this place a couple of times, noting that he was working with them directly on some of their processes/quality assurance.
They may not instantly win over much of the really hardcore Starbucks/Peets/etc crowd if they're going to lean towards Terroir coffees simply because he exclusively sells lighter-roast coffees (at the moment anyway, said some darker roasts coming down the pike) which emphasize the lighter floral and citrus notes which dark roasting forcefully rounds off, but as a result are often more sour and less substantial seeming than dark roasts. They sometimes seem downright weak if sipped at coffee-machine temperatures.
I tried their iced coffee (one of the products that he mentioned as being particularly well tested and implemented) and was pleasantly surprised to find the lighter citrus and slight fruity notes still intact and a moderate amount of sourness.
Having been a gung-ho coffee connection man, I was pleasantly surprised to see this style of coffee coming back to Harvard square. One thing you can't really argue with is that George Howell is an absolute quality fanatic, and from what I've seen and heard the coffee that crema is selling is probably exactly what he thinks a coffee shop should be selling... at least for his coffees anyway. Whether you think that's a good thing or not, is another question entirely.
Now I just wish they were open past 8PM. They were very polite about closing, letting me stay and finish my coffee and the paragraph in my book, but I was definitely suprised to see them closing so early. If you're closing up at 8PM in harvard square, on a beautiful saturday with packed sidewalks and a dozen people in your store, when you're practically unheard of but have the potential to be a destination, you're doing something wrong. Peets up the street was kicking out 20 or so people at 10PM and had a line at the counter almost the whole time I was there after crema closed. Hopefully crema catches on to that pretty quickly.
I had a late lunch there a few days ago and really liked my sandwich - it was a grilled chicken sandwich with cojita cheese, corn, and avocado. I did find it pricey (6.95) for the size (wonder bread size) but I was in the middle of Harvard Square so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. The chicken was juicy and well flavored, the cheese was melty and creamy, and the corn added a nice fresh touch. I got one of the lemon curd cupcakes and was disappointed, especially given the comments I'd read here about it. I found it to be very artificial tasting, almost like pledge. The texture was fine, and it had a little dollop of lemon curd inside that was really lovely, but the overuse of lemon oil (?) turned me off. I also wasn't too happy with the carrot cake which was a mini bundt cake filled with a little bit of cream cheese. The cake was really cute but it was dry. Service was friendly; the place looks great (although the seating facing the street when you first walk in seemed awkward to me) and I think they'll do fine. I do love that an independent has opened up in what seems to be an increasingly commercialized Harvard Square.
re: tumbledrylow
I went there in the early evening a few nights back needing to stave off some hunger until a late dinner. They were out of almost all the baked goods, so I chose a blueberry corn muffin. It tasted like nothing: not sweet, not salty, not buttery, not superdry but def. not moist enough. The only thing I did taste was orange zest, and a little too much of it. It was totally nondescript and I threw it away after eating half of it. It was pretty small to boot (although that way I felt less guilty throwing it away), although I am not opposed to people making smaller, higher quality muffins to sell at a better price point as opposed to gigantic shitty $3 muffins. Anyway, I'm assuming other items are better, and it seems you would generally want to avoid their baked goods late in the day as the good stuff is gone and what's there is getting stale.
Very good espresso - if you can find the right barista! LOVE the english muffins (try w apricot jam), decent quiche (the vegetarian one is better than the non veg option), great raisin/chocolate chip cookies (but they are often overdone and sometimes even quite burnt, so take a look before plonking down $2), very good coco-banana cupcakes (hey, it has fruit AND dark chocolate - it is healthy!). I like the chicken/avocado sandwich as well.
I want to like this place. It has everything going for it: great space, interesting menu of light items, a delicious english muffin, but...
Today was the 2nd time I tried to get into the Crema vibe. The 1st time was a few weeks after they opened. I walked in, looking for some breakfast and coffee, but there was a very negative atmosphere. I don't know how to explain it, except that the staff seemed to be in a collective bad/I'm-ignoring-you kind of mood. I decided to exit before ordering and just give it a try another time, chalking it up to being recently opened and still working out the kinks.
Today I gave it a full go, as I was desperate for a place to have a good lunch *and* wifi, as there was a lot of work on my plate. I opted for an iced americano, a curry chicken sandwich, and an english muffin. Ok, that muffin is like heaven by the way. Anyway, when it came time to pay, the total was $9.98, and when I offered my debit card, the cashier pointed to a sign I hadn't seen that said there was a $10 min on cards. I get that, I really really do. I know businesses incur fees from processing cards. But when I opened my wallet and had only $9 in bills, I asked her if she'd let me use the card and she stalwartly refused, suggesting that I "buy a macaroon" so I'd get over the $10 mark. Buy a macaroon? I didn't want a macaroon. It was only $.02 short of their threshold -- it felt really petty, and left me feeling like they totally didn't care if I had a good experience.
The food was good. The english muffin stands out; the sandwich was ok, if a bit mayonnaise-y for my tastes -- I liked the addition of the grapes. The americano wasn't great.
But their wifi didn't work -- despite the cashier telling me it did -- and I didn't feel like I wanted to go up and ask the counter people about troubleshooting it given the previous encounter. So I ate fast and left. But not before the staff person with the broom came over to where I was sitting and proceeded to sweep my feet (!!) and bang the broom against my chair. I turned around and looked at her like "why are you sweeping my feet -- there are a million other places you could sweep in this place." She just sort of looked at me and then walked away. It was very weird.
I dunno. None of these are absolute deal breakers. I'll probably meander in there again for takeout of an english muffin, or meet friends there if I must, but I've just felt -- both times -- that it's not a particularly friendly place. Or maybe I've just been there on two off days. I want to like it, but it doesn't seem to like me.
I ended up, finally, in Z Sqaure, partaking of their wifi and a beer. I wouldn't rate Z Sq's food above Crema in any way -- Crema has them beat -- but they sure are friendlier.
re: litchick
I went in on Sun. and it just seemed very unorganized. No one could figure out where to stand to order, they were out of cream and I wasn't sure if my telling them that meant anything but eventually someone came over to fill it up. A few of the workers seemed to be really concentrating on one thing, one person got pissed at another bringing out a tray of food. I only had an iced coffee which was fine, but it wasn't the most pleasant place in the world.
re: Joanie
i've been a couple times, and it can be boisterous. esp. with the confusion about where to stand in line, people milling about deciding what to order etc.. haven't had an experience like litchick describes, which i agree is pretty poor.
BUT... i think they are easily the best coffee in the square. i think it depends somewhat (as always) on which barista you get, but i've had some really lovely, heady espressos (and maybe other espresso based drinks, can't remember exactly), and i think their iced coffee is fantastic. somehow manages to have a bit of thickness to it, not watery at all, at least on my one try so far. i also agree about the english muffin, and even though the canneles maybe look a bit over the top, esp. if you're used to the canto 6 petite versions, they are actually pretty good, with a bit of sweet egginess inside.
edit: will add that due to location, noise, clientele etc., i probably wouldn't go there to do work, that is a definite drawback...
re: autopi
I've been going here a lot this summer, but I have every intention of steering clear once college is back in session. If they can barely manage a summer lunch rush, I'm not feeling the love on fall semester mayhem.
Was there yesterday- excellent iced mocha. In fact, the only one I've had that can compete with Diesel's. I attempted to ask the barista a question about where they get their coffee (had I read this thread first, I would have known that it's from George Howell in Acton) and he got rather flustered and indicated that he would be unable to answer until after he finished what he was doing. Weird.

Kourtney Mary Kardashian (born April 18, 1979) is an American television personality, fashion designer, and model. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she first garnered media attention through her then-friend Paris Hilton. In 2007, she and her family were commissioned to star in the reality television series Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Its success has led to the creation of spin-offs including Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami, Kourtney and Kim Take New York, and Kourtney and Kim Take Miami.
With sisters Kim and Khloé, Kardashian is involved in the retail and fashion industries. They have launched several clothing collections and fragrances, and additionally released the book Kardashian Konfidential in 2010.
Kourtney Kardashian was born in Los Angeles, California on April 18, 1979, to parents Robert and Kris (née Houghton).[1] She has two younger sisters Kim and Khloé, and a younger brother Rob.[2] Their mother is of Dutch, English, and Scottish ancestry,[3] while their father was of Armenian ancestry.[4] After their parents divorced in 1991,[5] Houghton remarried to the 1976 Summer Olympics decathlon winner Bruce Jenner in 1991.[6] Through their marriage, Kardashian gained step-brothers Burton "Burt", Brandon, and Brody; step-sister Casey; and half-sisters Kendall and Kylie.[7][8]
As a teenager, she attended Marymount High School, a Roman Catholic all-girls school in Los Angeles.[9] Following graduation, she moved to Dallas, Texas to attend Southern Methodist University for two years. Kourtney then lived in Tucson, Arizona where she graduated from the University of Arizona with a bachelor's degree in Theatre Arts and a minor in Spanish. Her classmates included Nicole Richie and Luke Walton.[10] In 1994, her father garnered public attention as the primary defense lawyer for football player O.J. Simpson during his murder trial. In 2003, Robert Kardashian was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, and died that September.[11]
Kardashian first became known to reality-television audiences on the 2004 series, Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive, on which she earned money for charity. In February 2007, a sex tape made by Kim Kardashian and her former boyfriend Ray J in 2003 was leaked, which largely contributed to her rise to prominence.[12][13] Later that year, Kourtney Kardashian, in addition to her mother Kris; her step-father Bruce; her siblings Kim, Khloé, and Rob; and half-sisters Kendall and Kylie were commissioned to star in the reality television series Keeping Up with the Kardashians.[14] The series proved successful for E!, the network on which it is broadcast, and has led to the creations of spin-offs including Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami, Khloé & Lamar and Kourtney and Kim Take New York .[15]
Kourtney and her mother opened children's clothing boutiques called Smooch in the Los Angeles area and New York City; the boutiques carry the brand Crib Rock Couture. With sisters Kim and Khloe, Kardashian co-owns and operates D-A-S-H, a clothing boutique in Los Angeles, Miami, and New York City.[10]
In the spring of 2010, Kardashian and her sisters released a clothing line for Bebe.[16][17][18] In August 2010, Kardashian announced that she and her sisters were working on another clothing line called K-Dash, sold on QVC.[19] Kardashian and her sisters created a sunless tanner called Kardashian Glamour Tan in 2010.[20][21] Kardashian wrote the book "Kardashian Konfidential" with her sisters Khloe and Kim; it was released in November 2010.[22]
Kardashian made her acting debut with a guest appearance on the ABC soap One Life to Live on March 28, 2011, appearing as attorney Kassandra Kavanaugh.[23] Kardashian, who had grown up watching the soap opera and described her appearance as the realization of a "lifelong dream", had reservations about her acting debut, stating: "I'd thought I'd have two lines. But my script is so long ... I'm not an actress."[24][25] Her performance, however, was not met with positive reviews from critics.[26] In September 2012, she and younger sister Kim created another spinoff reality television series, Kourtney and Kim Take Miami which began airing in January 2013. It features their mother Kris Jenner and sister Khloé Kardashian.[27]
Kardashian with her sisters Khloe and Kim are spokeswomen for the diet supplement Quick Trim.[28][29] In March 2012, Kardashian and her sisters Kim and Khloe were named in a $5 million class action lawsuit against QuickTrim, the weight loss supplement they endorse.[30] The complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, accuses the Kardashians (along with QuickTrim's manufacturer, Windmill Health Products; the retailer GNC; and others in the sales and marketing chain) of false and deceptive marketing of the diet aid. The plaintiffs, hailing from several states, brought claims under their respective states' consumer protection laws.[31] Kardashian also represents the skincare line "PerfectSkin" with her sisters, which was developed by Dr. Ron DiSalvo for Perfect Science Labs.[32] The three sisters also released a jewelry line for Virgins, Saints, and Angels. The 20 piece collection debuted in March 2010. The jewelry is reflective of the Kardashians' Armenian heritage.[33]
Kardashian and Scott Disick began dating in early 2007, prior to her family's reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians. The couple have had an on-again, off-again relationship, all throughout the filming of the show.
The couple temporarily moved to Miami with their son and Kardashian's sister, Kim, in early 2010. During this time, Kardashian believed Disick had an alcohol problem. After regularly attending therapy and temporarily giving up alcohol, Disick and Kardashian reconciled and they continued their relationship in mid 2010.[34]
In 2011, during the final episode in the first season of Kourtney and Kim Take New York, Disick purchased an engagement ring and planned to propose to Kardashian during an evening meal in New York City. However when Disick asked Kardashian's opinion on marriage she said that she responded with "if things are so good now... why would we want to change that?", so he did not propose.[35]
The couple have two children together, a son, Mason Dash Disick (born December 2009) and daughter, Penelope Scotland Disick (born July 2012).[36] Mason's birth was filmed and aired during the 4th season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.[37] In June 2014, it was announced that the couple are expecting their third child together due in December 2014.[38]

text: Weiner Spox Apologizes for Trashing 'Slutbag' Ex-Intern Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 30 Jul 2013 post a comment An Anthony Weiner spokeswoman apologized Tuesday night for a tirade in which she called a former intern for the New York City mayoral candidate a "slutbag," "c*nt," and a "fu*king twat." Barbara Morgan, the spokeswoman, said that she thought her conversation with a Talking Points Memo reporter was "off the record" and apologized to ex-intern Olivia Nuzzi. The profanity-laced rant was inspired by an unflattering article Nuzzi had written about Weiner and her in the New York Daily News. "In a moment of frustration, I used inappropriate language in what I thought was an off the record conversation," Morgan said in a statement to Business Insider. "It was wrong and I am very sorry, which is what I said tonight when I called and emailed Olivia to apologize." In the Daily News article, Nuzzi wrote about how Weiner's staff only worked for him to get close to Hillary Clinton confidante Huma Abedin, thus putting them in prime position to join a Clinton 2016 presidential campaign team. Nuzzi also detailed how Weiner had mistakenly referred to her as "Monica" and that Weiner had lied about the timeline of his sexting escapades. "Fu*king slutbag. Nice fucking glamour shot on the cover of the Daily News. Man, see if you ever get a job in this town again," Morgan told Talking Points Memo in response to the article. "And then like she had the fucking balls to like trash me in the paper," she continued. "You know what? Fu*k you, you little c*nt. I'm not joking, I am going to sue her."

Microsoft bares Steve Jobs' Flash rant claptrap
Steve Jobs' credibility took another hit on Tuesday when Microsoft let the world know that its upcoming Office for Mac 2011 won't be fully based on Apple's Cocoa frameworks. In a blog post, as The Reg reported earlier today, Microsoft's Macintosh Business Unit (MacBU) noted that "we haven't completed the transition of moving the …
obviously Mr Jobs doesn't consider M$ to be one of the major 3rd party developers out there, but merely a 2nd tier or lower.
and to be honest, the less and less quality seen in the Office suite over the years, i'm inclined to agree with him
Microsoft Office? What's that?
NeoOffice on my Mac thanks.
"We'll leave it up to you, dear reader, to form your own opinion...
"We'll leave it up to you, dear reader, to form your own opinion as to whether Jobs was naïvely mistaken or intentionally deceptive."
But MS Office is NOT a "major third-party app" for Mac OS X! Macs are primarily sold to the *consumer* sector, not to corporates—Apple couldn't give a damn about the latter market. (All those market share stats conveniently miss this fact.)
MS Office is not an essential purchase for the vast majority of Mac owners. OpenOffice and iWork will fulfil 90% of most users' needs. For the rest, there's CrossOver, Parallels or VMWare, which let you run the Windows version of MS Office and avoid the file compatibility headaches to which the Mac version is infamously prone. (And by Microsoft's own admission, at that.)
Creative Suite is of course a very important consumer app of course.
Re: FAIL
"But MS Office is NOT a "major third-party app" for Mac OS X!"
Apple's survival in the 1990s had nothing to do with Microsoft products, oh no! "We were never allies with Eurasia!" That's the great thing about the Apple "scene": everyone gets to pretend things were different, claim that the fruit conquers all, and to explain away any embarrassing dependency on non-Apple products. "I only have Microsoft Office on my Mac for the occasional work document!" Yeah, sure you do.
RE: Re: FAIL
"Apple's survival in the 1990s" was many years ago now and nothing to do with this article at all...
Steve Jobs' credibility took another hit
What credibility?
Get real, fellow fanbois...
I'm a fanboi, but i find it hilarious how my fellow fanbois are defending Jobs here.
To "Sean Timarco Baggaley", most people don't need CS5, either, so saying most people don't use Office and therefore Jobs was right in saying Adobe is the last major vendor to go to Cocoa is nonsensical. More Mac people may use CS5 than Office, but I can guarantee you most Mac users don't know what Adobe even is as a company, let alone use any of their products.
Yeah, Jobs "screwed up" with that statement. But I'm not surprised Microsoft hasn't moved fully to Cocoa. To the best of my knowledge, Office 2010 is not fully ".NET" either (actually, is any of it .NET???), so it isn't like Microsoft is setting some kind of precedent here in terms of not using the latest frameworks.
Heck, iTunes on Mac isn't even a Cocoa app. And until Snow Leopard, Mail wasn't in Cocoa, either.
Basically, using Cocoa as an argument is a silly thing for Jobs to do. He should just stick to the fact that Flash on a Mac sucks (which it does), and that he has no faith that Adobe is going to fix it for mobile (which, from everything I've seen with the Android port, Adobe is struggling like mad to make it even remotely functional).
One of two things will happen... either Adobe will fix Flash for mobile, after iterations of crashing Android phones, at which point Apple will let it on the iPhone, or they won't fix it, and Android phones will dump it and web sites will go flash free. Either way, Apple "wins". Adobe's the one with the gun pointed at its head.
On my HTC Desire Flash never crashed my Android... But just my 2 cents...
Are you still a fanboi if you ignore what Steve Jobs said and criticise the reg for a stupid article. Fishing around for reasons to attack Steve Jobs and Apple, this one is really scraping the barrel. No story here.
On a vaguely related note: why the hell does an office suite need so much memory it can't be 32bit anyway?
And, how difficult can it be to move to Cocoa? I'm not a mac developer so don't have any idea specifically but assuming the main logic is separate from the UI (as it should be) it can't be that hard surely? OK, maybe it's not quite the same scale but I've moved .NET stuff from WinForms to WPF easily enough - and AWT to Swing in Java.
The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.
"On a vaguely related note: why the hell does an office suite need so much memory it can't be 32bit anyway?"
Why that'll be so you can memory cache more data from your uber-shitty user created Access database. Not on Office for Mac though.
it's not just about the register sizes
32 bit X86 is notoriously register starved and CPUs waste a lot of cycles moving things in and out of registers. When AMD designed their 64 bit processor they had the bright idea to actually increase the number of registers as well and that arguably offers more of a performance improvement for most tasks than the larger resister sizes.
Gosh, don't Reg writers know how to read English carefully?
So how is it that Microsoft's not having <b>completely</b> migrated to Cocoa in any way dispute the fact that Adobe was the last to move over? And, for that matter, why do you try to claim that Apple offers third-party apps?
Some people might think this is hair-splitting, but when you say somebody is lying, you have an extra burden of proof. Aren't libel laws in the UK rather nastier against against willfully malicious misstatements, even if they were fueled by incompetence?
Re: Gosh, don't Reg writers know how to read English carefully?
"Aren't libel laws in the UK rather nastier against against willfully malicious misstatements, even if they were fueled by incompetence?"
The libel laws in the UK are nasty, but I don't think you earn a great deal of respect for waving them in people's faces when they raise a valid question. The last thing any properly functioning society needs is a bunch of corporations suing people for questioning the public statements of those corporations' representatives, unless your idea of a properly functioning society is one where all anyone may do is applaud the latest masterwork from the "delicate geniuses" as they do and say more or less what they like, unchecked by public scrutiny.
Microsoft has not completely migrated Office to Cocoa = Microsoft has not yet migrated Office to Cocoa = a major third-party developer has not migrated their app to Cocoa = Adobe were not the last to migrate their apps to Cocoa.
Simple enough?
" Steve Jobs saying that the release of its Cocoa-centric Creative Suite 5 made Adobe the last major third-party developer to port its apps to Cocoa is simply wrong," except that he didn't say that. He said Adobe was the last major third-party developer to port its apps to OS X, not to Cocoa.
Although I suppose one could argue that Adobe beat Quark—if you still consider Quark to be a "major developer."
I posted the same thing last night, but it hasn't shown up!
To me the full stop between the Cocoa sentence and the Adobe one seperates the context. In fact you could replace it with an overemphasised AND, but it would still indicate they were the last to support OS X (i.e. not Cocoa specifically)
More Apple Bashing from the Reg, normally I'd support it - but there has to be a line. Lets call it realism (i.e. is it realistic to bash Apple because the author can't properly parse english?)
If you want to bash them for anything, bash 'em for being arrogant cocks (sadly applies to members of both sides)
"Steve Jobs' credibility took another hit"? Perhaps, but I'd say Microsoft's credibility took an even bigger one. More than a decade after Cocoa's introduction, they still haven't gotten their act together. But then, given that Microsoft has lost half its value in that decade, perhaps that's not surprising.
My thoughts exactly
How long have MS been selling 64-bit versions of Windows?
And the reason they're not making Mac Office 2011 64-bit is because they need to keep it compatible with the Windows one, which is also 32-bit.
In the egg-on-face stakes, I think MS have won that round.
Although to be fair, there probably isn't that much of a demand. My office machine is five years old and running a ten year old OS, it's due to be "refreshed" this year,but the new machine will still be running a ten year old OS.
Progress? We've heard of it.
And the real FAIL is...
Rail all you want, Macophiles...in my office and on my web forums I hear all the muttered criticism of crapplication suites like iDon'tWork and Open Office, and when Jobsian cenobites think no one's listening, the gist of their rants is "it'd be great if this stuff was more like MS Office."
It's not a productivity suite if it isn't productive, and the functional foibles of those programs are glaring enough that all the militant Applists in the world can't hide the facts.
@Morpho Devilpepper
Any chance of an English translation of that post?
@Morpho, etc
I dumped MS Office about a year back in favour of Open Office. I'm happy that OO and NeoOffice aren't more like MS Office, frankly.
Is your real name Ballmer?
RE: And the real FAIL is...
Err, you!
I'm not the first to say that your post was unintelligible.
I've got Office 2004 for OSX. It sucks. It makes Office for Windows seem like it isn't that bloated. It's not that good at preserving table layouts when you save - and it has various other problems too.
So all in all, I would never say "it'd be great if this stuff was more like MS Office" in fact, I'm more likely to say "Why is MS Office such a steaming pile of dog turd? Can't they fix it soon? They've only had 20 years to work on it"
"Not that big of a deal"
Nice :)
Not that big a deal
I fixed that for him.
Wouldn't be surprised...
...if this article prompts a response from old Bonehead himself.
Maybe Steve got the details wrong...
... but his point was that third parties take their own sweet time to adapt to changes in Apple's software and hardware environment. The fact that MS is even more sluggish than Adobe just reinforces Steve's reasoning for keeping Silverlight and .net the hell away from iOS.
Oh come on!
Not only have 3rd party developers in the mobile space have to "adapt to changes Apples software and hardware environment", but they have to track a multitude of frequent changes in the SDK T&C - any one of which could mean their entire product has to be thrown out and written from scratch.
And on the Desktop, the source tree for the likes of CS5 is likely bigger than the entire Mac OS one, kernel and Cocoa included.
The Microsoft Office Suite is likely to be a very large code base, of which Mac is not a primary target (so will get fewer development resources allocated to it). Porting existing applications from one platform / toolkit to another is a lot of work.
All this means is that Microsoft did not complete the transition to Cocoa for this release of Office. It says nothing about the credibility of Steve Jobs or the Cocoa framework.
That's like saying that colour comics are not a credible media because a comic could not be coloured in time for release and was released in black & white instead.
RE: Huh?
"That's like saying that colour comics are not a credible media because a comic could not be coloured in time for release and was released in black & white instead."
...and if every comic you released for 10 years was in black and white, people would perhaps start to look at the shiny colourful competitors, wouldn't they?
Two sides
"We'll leave it up to you, dear reader, to form your own opinion as to whether Jobs was naïvely mistaken or intentionally deceptive"
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
- Robert A. Heinlein
Cock-up before conspiracy, you probably didn't know.
Heinlein said "You have attributed conditions to villainy that simply result from stupidity"
Robert J Hanlon - not in anyway related to Heinlein made the above quote, which may or may not be a corruption of Heinlein's version.
I personally prefer Ingham's version - "Cock-up before conspiracy".
here is an idea...
here is an idea Register, why don't you go buy an Evo, and tell us how many flash sites you get to before it crashes, hangs, does not work. and how slow it is... actually just do a nice round number of 100 sites, and split them equally between restaurant/business, games... video content... other... or so...
then report back to us? was Steve really wrong about this or not?
That will never happen because they'd royally piss off their fanbase (all the anti-Apple-ites).
@here is an idea
>here is an idea Register, why don't you go buy an Evo, and tell us how many flash sites you get to before it crashes, hangs, does not work. and how slow it is...
I have a Nexus running Froyo and 10.1 Beta - I'm sorry to inform you that Flash works really well at full framerates.
Little point debating it anyway - its coming for every smartphone and platform except Apple's iDevices, so the vast majority of users have the choice to use it or not.
Maybe folk will continue to pay for and/or download their RIA and mini-games as Apps but I think its doubtful - and so did Apple.
RE: @here is an idea
>> here is an idea Register, why don't you go buy an Evo, and tell us how many
>> flash sites you get to before it crashes, hangs, does not work. and how slow it is...
> I have a Nexus...
Not an Evo then?
RE: @here is an idea
>Not an Evo then?
No, though it doesn't make the slightest bit of difference to how Flash performs on a near identical handset running the same OS, muppet.
Flash testing
Perhaps I'm just too trusting a human being, but I read honkj's comment as a serious suggestion for a test, not an anti-Android flame. Maybe that's just because I know my HTC Desire hasn't crashed once while displaying a website, with or without Flash. Then again, I haven't visited a vast number of Flash-heavy sites, so I'd love to see a test of the sort honkj advocates.
Simple mistake
I doubt anyone would really expect Microsoft to be behind Adobe. Oh and jai - not a 3rd party developer, merely 2nd tier or lower? Wouldn't that make them 3rd?
Who Cares about MS anyway?
Oh No the sky is falling - I can't run MS Cak on my Mac at full speed - lol - what a laugh
iTunes too...
I think iTunes remains a non-Cocoa application. On the plus side, 32bit applications work transparently on 64bit machines — just like they do in Windows.
Macs not sold to corporates?
Wake up and smell 2010 mate. Out of 23 of our customers, over a third of them primarily use Macs. Another 3 have them as part of their IT strategy. In small business I suspect that number is getting greater. So Office IS actually quite important, as Microsoft need to maintain their stranglehold of document formats across the two platforms as the competition increases.
You're right about iWork though - it's fast and much nicer than Mac office, but it suffers from the same occasional formatting issues as OpenOffice, so regardless of the reasons why, there's still a place for the Microsoft offering.
Last time I checked, the most popular (UK) accounts packages were MS Windows only, so I very much doubt that Macs are becoming more popular with small businesses.
Incompetent or Evil?
It's an Old Dilemma: Is he incompetent? Or, is he evil? I don't really see how Jobs can have it both ways.
What does this have to do with Flash & iPhone/iPad
The so-called "Flash" rant by Stevie was in regards to not allowing Flash on iPhone/iPad nor using cross-platform development tools for the iPhone/iPad.
Apple nor Stevie has NOT prohibited cross-platform development tools for Mac OS X nor banned applications not using proper frameworks. In fact, there is absolutely ZERO control of Apple over any software released for OS X.
SO what is the point of this article then and how it connects Microsoft Office 2011 and the "Flash" storm?
Loads of Fanbois claiming Microsoft isn't a major 3rd party developer....
Skeletor can do no wrong.
I'd interpret
"Adobe was the last major third party developer to fully adopt Mac OS X."
As saying that they were the last to release a Mac version of their product. Aside from the preceding sentence, there's no reference to Cocoa. I'd have said this sentence stands alone personally.
I'm usually quite quick to bash Apple, but I'd say this article is just Anti-Apple propoganda. If you want to criticise them, do some research and find something worthy of criticism (there's not exactly a shortfall), but deliberately misinterpreting words is below you (or used to be)
This is the kind of drivel I'd expect the DM to write.
Way to miss the point...
Of all the possible angles to the rather minor story about the new Office being only 32 bit, you guys had to choose the most irrelevant anti-Jobs line. Honestly, is there ANY story that you can't spin thattaways?
Two bald men...
