Since the school year is coming up in almost no time at all, most university students should know what courses they are enrolled in. I assume a lot of us are university students, so, what courses are you taking?
I am finishing up a lot of loose ends for both my English and History degrees.
Modern British Novel - Studying lots of British novels of the 20th century.
Canadian Literature Before WWII - An independent study. Essentially, I will read a bunch of novels on my own, and write assignments by a given due date. It's mainly a look at how World War I affected Canadian writing.
Romantic Novel - Studying a bunch of novels from the Romantic period. We are also certain to look at women's issues in the context of the Romantic period.
Hamlet - Basically an in-depth study of Hamlet. We are also going to read a couple books based on Hamlet, watch a couple productions of the play, and even direct/act a couple scenes for the class. This one should be fun, but intense.
Contemporary Science Fiction - We're going to read some modern sci-fi (not mainstream stuff), and also look at science fiction itself, as a genre.
The American Revolution - Speaks for itself.
History: Theory and Practice - A study of what it means to study history. The uses of historical study, various methods of historical categorization and themes of emphasis (definition of eras, the "Great Man Theory," etc...). I don't know how useful this course will be, but it is a degree requirement.
I will also be working on my honours thesis the whole time. It is a study of colonialism and the idea of "Empire" in H.G. Wells's major works.

Of all the legislation passed by the US Congress, the Wilderness Act of 1964 is among the most eloquent. The law is distinguished by its poetic definition of a wild place: "A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is hereby recognized as an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain."
The wilderness ideal was one of the animating forces of nineteenth- and twentieth-century American environmentalism. Today, however, in the era of climate change, the environmental movement has shifted from a focus on wildlands preservation to human self-preservation. Some voices in academia, and even within green groups, have argued that wilderness is now irrelevant, if not obsolete.
As president of The Wilderness Society, Jamie Williams is determined to make the case that wildlands remain as important as ever – as a spiritual and physical retreat for people, a refuge for wildlife, and a repository of biodiversity in a warming world. Williams grew up in Oklahoma, and as a kid spent a lot of time in the outdoors, including family trips to the Rocky Mountains. He has especially fond memories of a vacation to Montana's Bob Marshall Wilderness when he was 13. The trip, he says, changed his life: "That really had a profound impact on me, and started getting me to think that I wanted to live a life like that and protecting places like that."
Now, he's committed to ensuring that all Americans have the opportunity for that same experience. "People come from different backgrounds, but our public lands brings us together as one nation," he told me recently. "Everyone really cares about these places in their own way."
—Jason Mark
The fiftieth anniversary of the Wilderness Act's passage is this year. What kind of an opportunity does it offer to reignite a spark for wilderness conservation?
I think it's a huge opportunity to elevate the importance of wilderness to our country. Wilderness is so core to what makes this country unique and who we are as a nation. It's vital to our well-being. I think the anniversary is a real opportunity to, as a country, take stock and reflect on where we've been. And also to really understand the importance of wilderness to our nation in moving forward. We need to continue to protect the wildlands that remain unprotected today.
There are some voices out there – Peter Kareiva who works for The Nature Conservancy would be one – who say that in the era of climate change, wilderness isn't as important as it used to be, because every place is touched. What do you think about this new critique, and do you think we have to redefine wilderness for the twenty-first century?
Well, I think that the critique goes a little overboard in suggesting that we need to give up on one form of conservation for another. Really what it's about is sustainability for nature and people. And to be sustainable we need green cities, we need sustainably managed working lands, and we need wildlands that renew our soul and our spirit and also are critical to sustaining wildlife and clean water and so many other things that are important to us.
But climate change does seem to be something of a game changer in that it's harder to find a place that is "untrammeled by man."
I think "untrammeled by man" was a very deliberate use of language. I think even when the Wilderness Act was created it was understood that potentially every place is affected by human beings, which is why the authors of the act didn't say "unaffected" by man. They said "untrammeled." So the idea really was to preserve nature in its most natural state, recognizing that there's no purity in that.
Certainly climate change presents unprecedented challenges. We should never kid ourselves that wilderness protection alone will protect nature. Wilderness is not sufficient to protect nature. But in my view climate change continues to reinforce the need for large wild areas. We've learned that we've got to protect much larger areas, and that these areas can include a variety of different human uses that are still compatible with sustaining natural systems. So I think moving to the future what we've really got to be thinking about is how do we sustain large connected landscapes that are able to adapt to a changing climate and give us the best hope that nature will be able to preserve the diversity of life on Earth.
This is the idea of resilient landscapes, right? We need a mix of wilderness, working landscapes with space for wildlife, bird corridors, etcetera?
Yeah, exactly. There are two things here. First of all, no parks or wilderness areas are big enough to sustain the diversity of wildlife that they have already been established to protect. Then you add climate change on top of it, and you recognize that with unpredictable changes it's going to cause movements of wildlife. So we need to really think bigger about connecting existing protected areas into larger theaters for nature to evolve. And that will be inclusive of working lands, conserved working lands, and all the way up to wilderness. Those things that have done well can all work together.
You mentioned that wilderness is essential to our well-being. That might be self-evident to some people, but not to others. How, exactly, does wilderness restore that well-being?
The wilderness experience is very personal and probably means something different to everybody, but certainly there's a real sense of renewal that comes from it, from the physical to the spiritual. So I think wilderness is very important to our mental, physical, and spiritual health, each in our own personal way. The one thing you consistently hear from people that spend quite a bit of time outdoors is that those experiences can be life-changing. It changes peoples' lives in different ways, but it has deep personal meaning for them. I think that's really important – and I think that every American should have the opportunity to have those experiences.
I also want to add another thing more broadly: I think we're all focused on sustainability both for nature and for people now, and wilderness is sometimes critiqued as setting people outside of nature. But I think the wilderness experience provides just the opposite benefit to society: Wilderness reconnects us to the natural world. It reminds us that we're part of something bigger than ourselves. And it's that connection and understanding and perspective that's really the foundation for building a sustainable society in everything that we do.
I mean, wilderness might not teach you how to manage an organic farm, but it inspires you to think about how to manage a farm that's sustainable and compatible with environmental processes. So I think if we're going to build a sustainable society and decrease our footprint, address climate change, and build cities that can be sustainable, the wilderness experience – whether it's in a local park or in a remote wild area – really gives you that perspective. Wilderness is the inspiration for how to build a society that's in concert with natural processes.
I'd like you to talk about the work that The Wilderness Society is doing to keep wilderness meaningful for a new generation that might not have much experience with it, the tech-obsessed generation that is affected by what has been called "nature deficit disorder."
Yes, we are very concerned about the growing disconnect of the country to its public lands. Largely because we are an urban nation now, with more than 80 percent of us living in cities, and also because we're increasingly ever and ever more focused on our digital screens … we're not getting outdoors as much. So we think it is really vital to reconnect America to its public lands – not just for conservation, but for the health of our society. Where would New York City be without Central Park? Where would Washington, DC be without Rock Creek Park? So we're working to celebrate the importance of getting outside, and what it means to our health and well-being. And I hope people realize that it's not just about protecting remote wilderness – it's about getting out into the outdoors and wild places in urban areas on a daily basis. And the more that people can and will do that, the more people will also care about protecting wildlands, along the whole continuum from local parks to remote wilderness areas.
The idea being that if people get out in the front country, then they'll have more of a commitment to the remote backcountry.
Exactly, yeah.
And how does that connect to the challenges of wilderness protection in an increasingly ethnically diverse country? There's still a little bit of a stereotype that the folks who go into the backcountry are mostly white. How do we make sure that the outdoor experience is inviting and welcoming to everybody?
Well, first of all, I think it's more diverse than it often gets criticized for. I mean, look at the local campaigns to protect wild places. Local people from all walks of life are standing up to protect very special places all across this country, and so I think we should resist the notion that experiencing and caring for America's backcountry is only for one kind of person. That said, we've got a long way to go, and it's really important that the environmental movement reflects the diversity of this country. The fact is that people come from different backgrounds, but our public lands bring us together as one nation, and everyone really cares about these places in their own way.
Now, how can we empower different constituencies to protect places that matter to them, in ways that work for them? I think we have to make sure that we're hiring people who reflect the communities in which we work; I think that's critical. We've got to support their efforts to protect special places. There have been great successes by Latino communities in California. The Hispanic community was pivotal in creating the new Río Grande del Norte National Monument that was just designated by President Obama in New Mexico. So there are plenty of examples that are out there right now, where emerging constituencies are leading on conservation issues. We need to do a good job of connecting to those leaders, and really supporting them with what they need to see their vision through.
You talked about how wilderness is a unique part of the American story. Wilderness used to be a bipartisan priority, but the last Congress was the first one since 1964 not to designate any new wilderness areas. Why do you think the bipartisan consensus on wilderness has broken down?
I think the bipartisan consensus to do anything has broken down. Let's remember that most of the environmental laws that were passed in the '60s and '70s were passed with huge bipartisan support – the Wilderness Act was only one of those. I think we're in a very different age now that has unfortunately become more partisan. That said, I think it's less partisan in reality and on the ground than it is here in Washington, DC. So if you look at the current 29 wilderness bills that have already been introduced in Congress, about a third of those have Republican lead sponsors on them. Many of these bills have bipartisan support, and on the ground and in the communities there's strong bipartisan and broad support for these bills. But then everything gets stuck in a more partisan and ideological gridlock that has become a political dynamic here. So I think we are suffering as much from that as we are from anything. I think there's still a very strong interest within local communities to protect special places that are really important to a diverse nation.
Oil and gas extraction pose new threats to wilderness areas and our national parks. What are your thoughts on the Obama administration's "all of the above" energy strategy?
I think there's a real opportunity here to change how energy is developed in this country. It's been very reactive in the sense that the Interior Department has sort of historically responded to where energy companies want to lease, and then put up leases in those areas. And I think we need to flip the process into a more proactive approach that looks at a region and uses good science to identify where the really important biological and environmentally sensitive areas are, where the wild places are, and that also looks at where the energy resource is, and then comes up with a plan to lease in the lowest conflict areas.
The Obama administration actually has begun to move in this direction. There are some very good examples of how they've done this well, with the Mojave Desert solar plan, and also with the comprehensive plan with the national petroleum reserves up in the Arctic. Both were good planning processes that involved all the stakeholders to figure out how to have a win-win: to get the energy resource that America needs, but also to protect other important public values. I think if they can institutionalize that approach more systemically, then the "all of the above" energy strategy will be one that includes conservation and doesn't compromise our wildlands-heritage in the process.
What do you think about [former Interior Secretary] Bruce Babbitt's idea that the Obama administration should have a one-for-one policy? That is, any acre that's open for oil, gas, or coal mining would then be compensated for by another acre of federal public lands protected either as a national park or monument or some other designation?
Well, we're strongly in support of putting conservation on equal ground with development, so that when society moves to develop parts of our public lands, at the same time we're moving to conserve the most environmentally important areas of those same landscapes. How that works out precisely on an acreage basis can vary, but the most important thing is that if you're going to industrialize our public lands, first and foremost let's make sure that we are developing those areas that are the most compatible areas and avoiding sensitive areas. And secondly, that we are getting conservation in really important places within those landscapes, so that they don't just become inventory for future development. So we're in strong support of that concept overall.
You talked about the 29 wilderness bills introduced in this Congress. If Congress doesn't pass any of those, are you hopeful that the president will use his power under the Antiquities Act to safeguard public lands by creating national monuments?
Congress has every opportunity to pass the wilderness bills that have been introduced by local delegations. Our hope is that Congress is going to respond to local communities who have been collaborating – in some cases for decades – to protect important places for all Americans. But if Congress doesn't respond, I think it's completely appropriate for the President of the United States to step forward and respond to the American people.

Medienkonvergenz | Media Convergence
A convergence of the media with far-reaching consequences is currently taking place, caused primarily by technical developments (e.g. the WWW or the digitalization of traditional media). Media convergence has become a process with its own dynamics, influencing media economics, media management, media law and media professions. The consequences are of theoretical, practical, and methodological nature and they are radically changing not only our conception of the media, but also the characteristics of media types and media contents, and the recipients' media use (Web 2.0). Therefore, the effects of mass communication are changing as well.
The interdisciplinary academic research focus "Medienkonvergenz" (media convergence) aims to pinpoint critically the legal and economic consequences of this rapid evolution, its cultural potentials and creative possibilities and to explore them systematically.
Key terms: media, convergence, academic research, science, internet, television, publishing, media law, media management, media art

CAMP SABALU-HARRISON, Afghanistan – "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
Throughout his 10 years in the Navy, Petty Officer 1st Class Michael Braun said, he has found motivation in those words, spoken by President Theodore Roosevelt.
For many of those years, he explained, Braun has traveled around the world and made the best of all circumstances for himself and his shipmates.
Braun is a singer, and he decided early in his career that he would use his talent to boost the spirits of his fellow sailors. Wherever he was, he said, he would do his best to put together a command band.
This endeavor proved logistically challenging at some far-flung destinations, he said. But instead of letting roadblocks stop him, he added, he followed Roosevelt's advice and did what he could.
"Having musical instruments, speakers and microphones shipped and finding locations to practice have always been challenges, but there's nothing that can't be overcome with a little creativity," Braun said.
One challenge that never arose, Braun said, was finding band members.
"Wherever I'm stationed, there is so much hidden talent that it is never a problem finding band members," he said. "Everyone loves music. That is what I want to bring to everyone, that feeling music brings: home."
Bringing "home" to his shipmates has meant singing in dining halls, USOs, fire barns and even on a ship in the middle of the Atlantic. Now, it means singing in Afghanistan.
Recently, Braun left Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba and deployed to Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. Upon arrival, he said, he knew he wanted to continue his tradition of starting a command band. In a combat zone, morale and welfare always are on leaders' minds, Braun noted, so when he presented the idea to Navy Cmdr. Stanfield Chien, commander of Task Group Trident, Chien was enthusiastic about the idea.
"Our deployed sailors sacrifice so much that the idea of a band to boost spirits was a fantastic initiative," Chien said.
With Chien's blessing and Braun's enthusiastic efforts, the idea came to fruition in a band called Controlled Det.
Forming a band in a combat zone is not easy. Task Group Trident is a mix of sailors from across the United States and is not a single deployed unit. With such a variety of personalities and backgrounds, the talent pool was deep, but a little cloudy, Braun said. However, through his guidance and the other five members' raw talent, they put together a band that "tours" all over Bagram Airfield.
Controlled Det is the fifth command band Braun has organized. The band has seven performances under its belt so far. Most recently, they played for the Army National Guard's birthday celebration and the Army National Guard advisor for U.S. Forces Afghanistan, Army Col. Larry Howl, said they were a hit.
"Controlled Det was phenomenal. They rocked," Howl said. "Lead singer Michael Braun's poise, charisma and humor on stage connected well with their new fans. Their unique style and energy, coupled with their musical talent, captivated all of us. I salute Controlled Det's commitment to entertain. They were the highlight of the National Guard's 376th birthday celebration."
The amount of good that Controlled Det has done for deployed service members is immeasurable, Chien said. "The National Guard birthday is yet another example of Controlled Det providing service members with a sense of normalcy in a war zone, which is hard to accomplish."
Braun, whose time in Afghanistan is drawing to an end, said the first thing he will do at his next duty station is to start asking around for talented musicians so he can once again do what he can with what he has.

SALINA, Kan. (AP) - A Salina-based scientific research group has been awarded two federal grants totaling more than $650,000 that will help fund the group's development of a perennial milo strain that can thrive in contrasting climates.
The Land Institute is receiving a $500,000 five-year grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development, and another two-year $160,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to fund the study of milo populations grown in different climates, The Salina Journal reported (http://bit.ly/15wOcLv ). The money has allowed the institute to hire a new researcher and a technician.
Milo, which is also known as sorghum, is primarily used as cattle feed and for ethanol production in the U.S. But it is a staple of many people's diets in parts of Africa and south Asia, said Stan Cox, a senior scientist at the Land Institute, which has a breeding population of perennial milo.
The Land Institute has been working to develop grains that mimic the prairie without the need to be replanted, protecting soil from erosion and reducing the need for chemicals.
"We have grain-producing plants that are perennial but are not suitable for production. They still have a lot of wild traits," Cox said.
Researchers at the institute are focused on "continuing breeding work to develop plants that would be suitable for producing grain," he said.
One goal is to compare research in different climates and conditions. The research will involve working with plots in Kansas, which has bitter cold periods during the winter, and Africa, which has more of a tropical climate, so the plants won't have to deal with frosts that cause plants to go dormant in the winter.

MANILA - A ban on carrying firearms went into force in the Philippines Sunday before local elections, amid growing debate about the need for stricter controls following a series of shooting deaths.
The ban will end on June 13 and is meant to curb violence linked to mid-term elections in May, when the country elects thousands of local officials ranging from governors to senators.
"We have set up random checkpoints across the country," to enforce the ban, Commission on Elections spokesman James Jimenez said on radio station DZMM. Jimenez said the campaign would likely lead to arrests soon, though none had happened in the first hours of the ban. The ban covers the carrying of firearms, the hiring of armed bodyguards by candidates and the transporting of arms, explosives, raw materials or parts, the elections body said.
Exempted from the ban were members of the police, armed forces and President Benigno Aquino - himself a gun enthusiast.
Aquino had earlier rejected calls to declare a permanent, total gun ban as a knee-jerk reaction following high-profile gun-related deaths since the start of the year. Two children died from bullet wounds caused by celebratory gunfire from New Year revellers.
Just a few days later a drug-crazed gunman shot dead seven people during a 30-minute rampage on the outskirts of Manila, before police killed him. And on Sunday last week security forces shot 13 alleged criminals dead. Rights monitors have said the proliferation of unlicensed guns fuels a sense of impunity across the Philippines, where some politicians employ private militias to threaten rivals and voters.
According to police data, there were 1.2 million registered firearms in the Philippines as of last year, with roughly another 600,000 unlicensed firearms in circulation.
While carrying an unlicensed firearm is punishable by up to six years in prison, it is relatively easy to acquire guns on the black market.

Byron Unit 1 Begins Planned Refueling Outage Unit Completes Breaker-to-Breaker Run
BYRON, Ill. (Sept. 14, 2009) - Byron Generating Station began its scheduled refueling and maintenance outage for Unit 1 at 11:09 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 13. The scheduled outage marks the completion of a 517-day breaker-to-breaker run (continuous operation between refueling outages) for the unit.
Breaker-to-breaker operations are indicative of a high level of equipment reliability and overall plant performance.
"This performance demonstrates the commitment our employees have made to operate this plant safely and efficiently," said Dan Enright, Byron site vice president. "Our goal now is to complete all the work needed to return the unit to service, preparing it for another 18-months of reliable operation."
During the maintenance outage, workers will perform more than 10,000 activities on a variety of plant components and systems. This includes replacing approximately 40 percent of the reactor's fuel assemblies.
To support this effort, the station will utilize the talents and expertise of about 1,600 additional workers. The extra workers include employees from other Exelon sites as well as contractors, many of whom travel to Byron from outside the area, who provide a temporary benefit for the local economy.
"We always appreciate the business we get from Byron Station," said Veronica Sanders, manager of the Chateau Lodge near Oregon. "The workers stay for several days at a time and we keep pretty busy helping them with their needs."
While the unit is down, residents should be aware that one of the cooling towers will not produce any water vapor cloud. This is normal during a shutdown.
Byron's Unit 2 will continue to supply electricity to Exelon customers during the Unit 1 outage.

This page is dedicated to all OB fans. Thank you for coming here to visit and making this our OB haven.
Every time someone posts a new article or news about OB, Uee, JW, or both of them, a fresh new wave of nostalgia washes over me. I don't know why, but even hearing their voices make me think of our OB couple. Some of my friends think I am crazy for not being able to let go of a drama that ended so long ago, but I can't help it. I live in Korea so I have access to some of the locations where OB filmed. Whenever I pass by that exact spot where TH and JE broke up, I feel that same tinge of sadness all over again. Stuff like that makes me miss the drama even more. I am beginning to accept the fact that this family drama stole my heart almost a year ago and it's never going to let me go. Next month will mark its one year anniversary cuz it started the first week of August. To celebrate and commemorate such an important occasion, I wanted to do my first blog giveaway. That is why lately I have been looking everywhere for a DVD set of OB from KBS. There are bootlegged copies, but I want the real deal. There probably isn't a director's cut DVD of OB, but I was hoping KBS would at least release its official 58 episode box set. I still have a few weeks left till August to track it down, but if I can't find it by then I still have alternative OB related prizes in mind. Wish me luck finding the DVDs and expect a post about the giveaway soon.
Eva_Dew translated this for us recently and she did such a wonderful job that it's made all of us miss OB even more. 🙂
"This is the translation of Uee's interview with Ceci that was posted here earlier by bbblue. I only did some parts related to OB and JW. Some parts are a bit awkwardly translated, sorry for that. X) Hopefully all of you can understand it, so here you go…..
Having such a close relationship between members, you must have missed them very much when doing your solo activities? U-ie: I missed everyone a lot when filming OB, especially Jung Ah unnie whom I rely a lot on usually. She is very concerned with my solo activities, always making sure that I don't feel lonely. The members often call to ask how am I doing which makes me feel really warm. We do not ask each other"Did you watch my drama?", instead we can make jokes like "Today you kissed my JW oppa".
Not long before you received the Baeksang Best Newcomer Award, this is an award much desired by every newcomer right? U-ie: I've never walked on the red carpet on my own before, so I felt nervous and excited that day. Other actors who were nominated along with me have a long of strengths too, I did not think I could win that award. I heard it is very rare for partners acting alongside each other from the same drama to get the newcomer award at the same time, so to be able to receive this award with JW oppa makes it even more meaningful.
Being able to act with many seniors from the filming industry in OB, it must have been a very special experience to a singer like you. How do you feel to live as Baek Ja Eun for 8 months? U-ie: (eyes brimming with tears) It is very weird how I feel like crying everytime I hear questions about OB, it makes me recall scenes from that time. I miss the actors of OB especially when I see them on TV. After I received the award, I called the director of OB, he still called me Ja Eun like last time which made me feel particularly close and familiar.
U-ie: "Through performing, I got to know what I have is the best. Instead of worrying about how to show my worth, I learned to do things with sincerity. Only when I've learned to let go and open up, would the people watching me be touched. I used to think a lot when I was young, acting according to others' opinion; as I grow older, I became more frank and honest to myself."
U-ie: "Currently I am in a state where I like my job and feel passionate about it, so work is my No 1 priority. Actually, I can't do two things at the same time. For example once I fall in love, I will put a lot of energy into it, unable to hold back. I think that side of me is quite scary, so I never dared to have that notion."
Interviewer's note: If you meet someone full of fragrance, you will definitely be attracted by her scent. That is how I feel after meeting U-ie, her scent is at times a bright vitality, at times her care for others and at times her eyes full of sincerity. Her laughter as she tells stories about her members; eyes full with tears when asked about <>. The person I'm facing is not the U-ie I unconsciously pictured and imagined for 10, 20 times, instead she's the real, fresh & lively Kim Yu Jin.
She and JW both have such great attitude which makes them so lovable What she said about work being first priority now and being unable to do 2 things at once might indicate she's not in a relationship with JW. Anyhow, I believe they are really good friends and who knows what will happen down the way right?
Depz was so sweet to translate this for us. Video link can be found on comment pg2
"I think she was talking about the same first love experience. This is when After School was being a guest in SBS Power FM Jeong Seon Hee's A Night Like Tonight radio show. When I heard the interview, I couldn't stop myself from giggling and jumping around my room. The DJ seemed to be in our side, and also a fan of our cutie couple.
Here's the link of the full interview. I know it's very long, but I'm just gonna tell you what I think is important ^^. Sorry about my limited Korean, so I maybe can't translate it word by word :
I think the topic for that night's radio show was about unforgettable love that happened in the past.
16:45 – 18:02
At first, the DJ asked all the member whether they had a boyfriend at the moment or not. Everybody said 'No, we don't have.' but I only heard weak voice came from UEE. (Was my mind tricking me? ^^)
Then the DJ said something about songs that reminded them of the unforgettable first love then suddenly she mentioned Joo Won then Uee was all 'Aigoo…'
DJ : Joo Won seems to have many interests towards you…
UEE : Aaa.. But that's already in the past (It's already long time ago)
DJ : Ooo.. long time ago? Maybe for most of all, it's been a long time ago, but for me.. Joo Won's stare.. (Maybe the DJ still couldn't forget how good was Joo Won's acting in OB).
Then the DJ said something about Gaksital.
UEE : But when we came back to Seoul and when we finally did a group's comeback, he messaged me with 'Congrats for the comeback'. Me too…
DJ : Aa.. how natural (your relationship with Joo Won)
UEE : Aigoo.. Me too (replied to Joo Won) 'Oppa, I'll definitely watch the drama well.' But we didn't managed to talk on the phone yet.
Then the DJ said something about Joo Won but I absolutely have no idea what she was talking about.
19:02 – 19:25 : Uee suddenly felt sad and tears fell as her fellow AS member, Jung-Ah told her own painful love story. The DJ suddenly teased UEE and said something about Mok Dan and Uee said that she usually have sensitive heart and tend to easily being emotional when she heard about others sad stories. The DJ said since UEE is an actress no wonder she can easily felt emotional. Uee worried since this radio show was all about sad love story (she probably worried she would cry during the entire show) Then the DJ said something about going to Gaksital broadcasting (???)
25:47 – 29:47 : It's the same as what SS posted earlier. Uee talked about her one sided first love.
37:34 – 38:20 : Uee's ideal type always about man who has single eyelid. She talked about how she recently watched Gong Yoo's drama and asked doesn't he has single eyelid too but everybody said no he doesn't have and she kind of disappointed. (Not really clear either ^^)
That's what I catched from the interview. Feel free to hear it and correct my explanation.
How happy I am because my heart is on the right track the whole time. They still contact each other, eventhough only by messages. Hopefully they'll get to meet once they are free from their busy schedule.
Sometimes it's not about how big and expensive present you give for someone, but it's all about the sincerity even only from one simple text message.
This Belongs to U. ^^
Our sweet SS translated this for us from Baidu: The Dual Life of Joowon
From fighting scenes, emotional scenes to romantic scenes, Joowon has totally mesmerized the audience. Adapted from Huh Young-Man's manhwa "Bridal Mask", as the Imperial Japan loyalist Lee Kangto and as the one who follows the footsteps of his elder brother to become the nameless hero Bridal Mask, Joowon plays a dual role. In the drama, his acting ability has increased over time, rising to be a top actor, gaining a foothold as the king of viewership. In reality, the casting of Bridal Mask has been difficult; it was not smooth from the beginning. Due to the theme of Imperial Japan's occupation, many Hallyu stars have rejected the role. Under these circumstances, Joowon a new actor took on the role and it became a topic of discussion. Many people felt he could not carry the drama and were unconvinced and had many concerns. But the result was the opposite and instantly all the concerns were swept away. Joowon's acting was even more solid and won a lot of accolades. The drama also brought in the highest viewership on Wed & Thurs. On the net, many left comments such as "This role belongs to Joowon", "It will not do without Joowon", "Cannot imagine another actor besides Joowon to play this role" and many praises. This interviewer caught up with Joowon on the set of Bridal Mask. Q: How do you feel about Bridal Mask capturing the hearts of the family viewers? JW: Gathering the highest viewership amongst the 3 dramas, I am very happy. However, the burden was very heavy from the beginning. Especially after Kangsan died and Shin Hyun Joon left the set, I and the other younger actors felt the burden increased. I also worried about the audience's reaction to the way my character was in the beginning, towards his country, his friend and love. Q: Leading the drama to be the top must have weighed heavily on your shoulders? To be the lead actor and make the drama the top, there is a lot of pressure. Also the role of the bridal mask is a very different, I was very worried. In the beginning, I thought " The script is good, the director is good, everything is good, if the viewership is not good, then it's because of me" and I got more burdened, thinking that way. As a result, I prepared a lot for this role. Horse riding and martial arts are fundamental to the role. Also, to understand the character Lee Kangto, I made a lot of effort. Lee Kangto loved his family more than anyone else, yet he did a lot of things that upset his family. He could do anything for his family, yet he also brought harm to them. This complexity of his inner being, in order to express the right feelings, I discussed a lot with the director Q: Was it convenient to wear the mask? To prevent the mask from slipping, I have to tie the rope very tightly, making my nose hurt. My eyes are also how I expressed my feelings, but because of the mask, my gaze cannot be seen, it was regretful. The mask also blocks my line of vision, hence it was also dangerous. There were a lot of inconveniences (laughs). There was a good thing; I didn't have to put on make-up so it was convenient. The unexpected thing was the mask goes well with the Korean traditional wear. There was a lot of discussion, whether to use the best looking clothes or the Korean wear. My thought was to follow the original work and wear the Korean costume. When it comes to fighting, it actually looked good and when you run, it makes a "pucha pucha" sound which was very cool. Q: Did the first Gaksital(Kangsan) Shin Hyun Joon give you any advice or suggestion? When I was with Hyun Joon Hyung, we praised each other. Whatever he did, I said it was good. Whatever I did, hyung will say I did well. When hyung finished his filming, he will watch the show and said I did very well; it gave me a lot of strength. Q: How about with Jin Se Yeon? Every time I got to the martial arts training room, JSY will be there. In the beginning, she couldn't even do a somersault. But she got better and better with time and now she could even hang from the wire. Due to her cheerful personality, whenever we are filming together, she always makes people feel good. That's why all the elders and staff love her very much. Every time JSY appears, the mood of on the set becomes very good. Q: I am very curious what happened behind the kiss scene with Han Chae Ah? We were filming at XX(can't translate the name of the place) , there were a lot of poultry farms and factories nearby. Hence, there were a lot of insects. When we were filming the kiss scene, there was a fly that flew around HCA. So what was originally a simple shoot, turned out to have many takes, my luck was very good (laughs) In the show, he is a hero. Out of the show, he is an aegyo man. By nature, Joowon has lots of aegyo, he is very good to his hyungs. We can see in 2N1D, with Kim Seung Woo, Uhm Tae Woong, when he displays his aegyo side, he's just like a child. HTW said: "If there is a mini-Joowon, will be very adorable" He behaves likewise during the filming of Bridal Mask. He does it all the time with his onscreen friend & foe, Kimura Shunji played by Park Ki Woong. Whenever there is a NG, he will immediately go and hug PKW. He's turn to being adorable and cute has shocked other co-stars. Han Chae Ah said: "He is usually like a little child, loves to joke and also does a lot of aegyo" But once the director says Cue, he will immediately become Lee Kangto, his immersion into the role amazes people, acting skills are good. Co-stars who act with him says that he is able to focus very well and they feel that Joowon is an excellent actor. On the show and out there, many praised his acting skills. Q: This role involves a lot of emotion and martial arts; you must have expended a lot of strength. JW: Kicking Hyun Joon Hyung, seeing mother had died, at the grave of hyung and mother, the emotions while filming those scenes were very intense. Many times, I strained the veins in my neck, felt my blood pressure going up. After that whenever an emotionally intense scene came up, I will have a headache, the director was worried about me. Q: The crying scene at the discovery of his mother's death, gave viewers a very deep impression. The way Joowon immersed himself in the scene was admirable. JW: The sequence of the filming and the actual broadcast was entirely different. In reality, when we were filming that scene, it was my 2nd time meeting Song Ok Sook, who played my mother. Although it was acting, no matter what, it was necessary to have built some relationship then it'd have been easier to get into the role. However, there was no choice so I had to create my own feelings, it wasn't easy. Especially during the beginning when Kangto had so much pain, it also agonized me. Q: Your acting has won good critics. Have you thought of the reason? I learnt a lot from filming Special Investigation Unit. The film set was like my learning centre. Uhm Tae Woong hyung, Seong Dong-il, Jeong Jin-yeong ,the seniors were all my role models for learning and they each had a different way of acting. Gradually, I found my own method. At first, I thought I should just act my role very well, now I realize that the atmosphere on the set is even more important. Previously, I only prepared myself; I never really grasp the dynamics on the set. From then on, I started to pay attention to the situation at the filming set. Q: Recently, on 1N2D, the way you slept on your member's tummy created a lot of talk. How tired were you that it led to that? JW: There are 2 teams doing the filming. If team A films from 6am in the morning to 8pm. Then team B will film from 8.30 to the next morning. (this was left out but he said elsewhere that they continue to work throughout even as team A&B changed shifts), under that condition, I filmed 1N2D, without knowing, I opened my mouth (laughs). All the cast worked in this manner, we couldn't even see our beds. Usually in filming outdoors, we'll sleep at the hotel. But we couldn't even do that. We'd just go to a nearby washroom to wash up and then we'd return to the film site. When we see our co-stars, we'll be very happy as we are in the same boat. Since everyone worked in this manner, there was no unhappiness. Being tired physically does not matter. However, unfamiliarity with the script resulting in errors makes one worried. When there is a lot of dialogue with PKW in important scenes, I'd worried and think that I must not make mistakes. Q: In 1N2D, we saw a lot of facial products; you seem to pay a lot of attention on your skincare. JW: Originally, I only used moisturizer. I don't know when it started but things began to pop up on my face, it must be that I have the make-up on for too long a period. During the entire day, I'd be without makeup for only 30 minutes. Thus I have been more careful recently. Q: You seemed to have lost a lot of weight. JW: In order to have more sleep, I gave up meal times. That's why I lost weight. Frequently, I will be having my make-up done and eating snacks at the same time. I ate a lot of things in place of rice, like yoghurt and milk cereals. I even have a nickname 'Yoghurt Youth' (laughs) Q: This show has been extended from the original 24 episodes by another 4. You don't seem to be unhappy about it. JW: When I first heard it, I felt the director's and producer's thoughts were the most important. If it is due to viewership and got extended, then it'd be a problem. However, if it is to bring forth a better production then it is necessary to get the extension. This is good news to the actors. Anyway, we'll just need to film another 2 weeks only.
All of you with super sharp eyes spotted this and then Yanna tracked down the bts video for us. Uee sure is looking at him adoringly too. 🙂
Look what bbblue73 made. Isnt it perfect?
I just found a super short entertainment news clip of the Baeksang Awards after the show was over when the winners were interviewed on their way out and JW looked so happy and giddy. He held up his award and addressed his parents while looking at the camera, but he didnt use the words "mother and father" in a formal way and said like a kid "mom and dad, I got another award. I will keep getting them. bye." He laughed afterwards. I hope he wins another one for Gaksital this year.
SS found this old interview he did back when he filmed Baker King called "follow me" so I translated it cuz there is new info about him we never knew.
JW: I was really lucky and I thought I should work harder. I am really happy these days.
The two female costars from Baker King sit by each other and the short hair girl says about JW "even though he is my hoobae (younger than me), I always look up to him." Then both women look up in the air (meaning they have to crane their neck to see JW cuz he is so tall and they are petite)
JW is asked a series of questions he must answer quickly. Q: do you have a girlfriend now? JW: no. Q: to be honest there are times when I look in the mirror and think I am good looking. JW: there are. Q: in school, when did you have the best grade point average. JW: 10th place (out of the class). Q: first kiss. JW: second year. ("go-yee" is high school right? Or is it college?). Then he is asked for girl group he listens to so he barely says SNSD before time runs out. Q: when you look at a girl, the first thing you look at is. JW: what I look at? eyes.
JW: there are so many good looking people so I don't think when I look at myself "oh so impressive" and just think "I am this level." He is asked which parent he looks like more so he says my mother. He is asked if she is beautiful so JW says: My mom is cute. JW talks about when he was a child. I was introverted so my parents wanted to change that personality so they sent me to do dramas in junior high so I could read the script on stage. I thought I should try it. It was really fun. For some reason the woman interviewing him sings with him but he breaks out his louder musical voice and drowns her out at the end.
JW: ever since I decided to become an actor – musical, drama, movie – I didn't think to do any of those first separately. Through a sunbae's (senior) introduction I got to do a musical audition and I got in so I started doing musicals.
JW: I do that when I perform or just normally, they tell me that my eyes have a variety of looks. (I cant hear well here but he lists Don Quixote and stuff) As an actor I get greedy towards them.
They talk about him in baker king and he says I am just glad people recognize me. Then I think he is asked what is the difference between doing dramas and theater. JW: Getting fatigued, not being able to sleep well, there were things like that. acting in front of the camera was awkward.
They show the scene where Eugene slapped him on the cheek repeatedly cuz of NGs. JW: truthfully, it was strange but it didn't hurt. I got hit but I think cuz noona has experience (doing this) when she hit, it didn't hurt. So I wondered why doesn't it hurt me. Filming was so much fun so doing that stuff was fun.
Then they play the OST he sang for baker king. (Why couldn't he sing something like this for Gaksital.) JW: it was the first time I did something like this alone. It was fun and after talking about it, my worries disappeared and it felt refreshing. Please look forward to JW and please have a lot of interest in me. Thank you.
what women have to say? hamana hamana
Yanna found some cute OB bts photos, but I wanted to save them to post on the next OB page. In the meantime here is a cute photo someone found a while back.
SS:Dear chingus, there is an awesome interview on Joowon posted on baidu. It reveals a lot of things which I didn't know and there is one thing which will make you scream or fall out of your chair like I did. My fellow countrywoman, mojobobo at Soompi was the one who found the article and translated it, I translated the 2nd part(yes, it's that long).

Interview with Movist, November 2011
Filming a drama and promoting a movie, you've been really busy lately haven't you?
JW: Yes. Earlier today there was the filming of the "Section TV" interview in Kangwondo so I rush over immediately.
In an earlier interview, you mentioned that you cannot multitask but recently you've been juggling 2 or more projects at the same time. Are you able to adapt to this ?
JW: Right now it seems like it's second nature. It's still tough but I've getting used to it. When I'm doing something else, I keep thinking to myself "I need to hurry read my script" (laughs) I still need to manage my time well.
I first saw you in the musical Spring Awakening.
JW: Ah, really? (Short pause) You saw my butt~~ Hahah~ (there was a scene that required Joo Won to bare his butt)
Haha, yes, I am one of those women who has seen your butt. it was 2009. I remember that you were a bit round and chubby at that time.
JW: I'm much thinner now; I lost about 20kg. I purposely put on weight for that role. The producer wanted my character to be a bit chubby so every night, I ate hamburgers and bread. i was very happy eating then (laughs). After the musical ended, I started to diet.
Isn't it tough to be on a diet?
JW: There is a secret to dieting. When I first started, it was difficult but it's much easier right now.
Honestly, we were worried about your character in Spring Awakening. Kim Mu Yeol was originally acting as your character and he was outstanding. We were thinking if the new actor could deliver the same standard of performance.
JW: There was certainly such a thinking back then. Not only me, but many others would think this way too. It was totally crazy then. Throughout the entire year, I read the script twice everyday. I would read once before going to the theater and then read it again after the performance ended. Actually, this is also a problem because you end up getting too restricted by the script. But at that point in time, I didn't want to audience for be disappointed. There was a huge burden in take over the baton from Mu Yeol hyung.
When Kim Mu Yeol had to leave due to personal reasons, you officially took over the character after being an understudy for so long. So actually, you didn't have the opportunity to show your talent at first.
JW: although I couldn't perform when Mu Yeol hyung was acting, but out of the 100 performances My Yeol hyung gave, I watched more than 80. Aside from the times were I had to go and sit for my exams and other unavoidable situations, I always went to watch the performance. Everytime Mu Yeol hyung saw me, he would always say to me "Why do you come so diligently?" (Laughs)
What were you feeling then? Was it your sincerity towards performing or competitiveness, wanting to become better?
JW: The stage is ust too appealing. Not just Mu Yeol hyung, but every actor standing on stage was very handsome and I really wanted to stand up on the stage with them. Also, i really liked the script and because of this, my ambition grew.
Did you feel that you didn't disappoint and you did well?
JW: No. There were many disappointments because I was lacking but i do not regret it. I poured my heart and soul into it and that project made me who I am today. [With all the racy scenes dear Joo Wonie? ]
As I watch you in Spring Awakening, I thought to myself "Ah, this actor will be great in the future" but I never thought that it would be so quick. In a short span of 2 years, you've filmed a movie and a drama. Do you feel that everything has occurred at lighting speed?
JW: Yes I do feel it. Everything is just so fast. I keeping thinking to myself that I must be very lucky. But I keep preparing myself, telling myself that right now, the viewership for the drama is very good and the movie is also doing well but come one day, the drama I act in will no longer be popular and you may not see me in movies anymore. For my own good, I have to prepare myself for that eventuality.
Are you the very conscientious type, thinking that as long as you work hard, you can achieve your goals?
JW: I believe it is possible. On the day Special Investigation Unit premiered, my name appeared on the big screen. I thought to myself "I started acting from high school onwards and I've done well to be where I am now. Perseverance is a good thing." I felt fulfilled. Starting from high school, I gave up all my holidays just to practice my acting. "If I persevere, things be good one day right?" I held this hope and so now, I think that there isn't anything that cannot be done as long as you keep persevering.
Perhaps. Did you go through a rebellious stage when you were growing up?
JW: Totally did not. I've never stayed away from home. A lot of people will say that being obedient to your parents means you are a "mama's boy" but I really do not think this way. To me, this is being filial. Also, parents are never wrong. If you have to say that I was rebellious, then the only occasion would be when I told my parents that I wanted to attend an Arts high school. My parents were very shocked then but I understand. Parents are all the same, they want their child to just have a normal live, nothing tough, a stable job is good enough. When I said I wanted to attend an Arts high school, my parents said "we'll ahve to think about this". They were hesitating but I told them "I can live on ramen alone" and convinced them (laughs) [No darling, you CANNOT live on ramen alone. 1n2d has proven that lol]
Some people say that to be able to improve on your acting skills, you can get more experience if you live capriciously. you must have heard this especially from the sunbaes. Weren't you curious? Did you think this way?
JW: I also want to but it's just not possible. I don't drink. If I drink, I sleep. I become very quiet and even if I drink, I won't get into trouble. I also don't want this to affect my job. As a male actor, If I want to gain more experience, I will choose to travel alone. The type that drinks and sleeps by the roadside? Sometimes when I see them I feel like trying it too but in reality I can't. You will catch a cold! (laughs) I'm a very sensitive and light sleeper so I probably can't sleep by the roadside. [Lol Joo Won is so sensible!]
You are a very sensitive sleeper? How sensitive are you?
JW: Even if there is just a bit of sound, I will wake up. Or if I smell something, I will also wake up. Even if it's just a mosquito, I will not be able to sleep. that's why when I sleep, I will switch everything off and I will put my phone on silent mode.
(laughs) So aside from sleeping, what other things are you sensitive about?
JW: Many things, but I won't show it. I'll keep it in my heart. Recently, I've become very sensitive because of acting. Ah! I'm also very sensitive when I am disliked by others!
What are you talking about! Actors that even the promotional staff like are very rare!
JW: It's everyone's nature to want to be liked. It's especially serious for me becasue I alwasy want to be loved. I also give a lot to other so I really don't like people who can't return my love (laughs) [LOL!] That said, I don't give just because I want to receive. It's just that I'm really sensitive about this.
When you were acting as Gu Ma Jun in Baker King, you must have felt really bad right? the love you wanted from your own father was given to Tak Gu instead.
JW: That's right!! Hahaha. At that time, really, I cried from the heart. I really couldn't understand why~~Tak Gu that kid appeared so suddenly and my father said he liked that kid! Although this helped me get into character, I felt really lonely then.
In Special Investigation Unit, you acted as a FBI criminal psychologist Kim Ho yong. No matter how I watched it, Kim ho Yong was the most outstanding character in the whole show but character wise, he's hard to grasp. If not done well, he will appear as a very crude person.
JW: That's correct. It was very difficult to properly grasp this character and so I put in a lot of hard work. Ho Yong is a very stubborn person. He doesn't express his feelings much. Even when he's angry, he doesn't shout, even when he's upset, he doesn't cry. I keep thinking about what ho Yong was thinking and what he wanted and it was not east for me to show these to the audience. The toughest part was when the script itself didn't allow much expressions for the character.
Did the restrictions mean anything to you?
JW: I'm the type that wants to learn about everything but I can't do a lot of things. I had to put in a lot of effort to create an image for Ho yong.
The more effort you put in, the greater the expectations. When you first saw the movie, did you feel as satisfied as expected?
JW: I felt it was a pity. Not because of the movie itself but because of me. I guess I haven't set my sights far enough. When I first saw my name appear on the big screen, I wan happy, but only for that moment. I felt that my acting was not up to scratch and it was such a pity. "Why didn't I think of this then?" I kept having these thoughts. Although I've already done my best and there are no regrets, but because I'm a very ambitious person, it's inevitable that I would feel that it was a pity. —–end of part 1—-
SS's translation-part 2
Is there anything else worthy of praise?
JW: No. If I really have to mention one….(thinking for a while) Ah! There seems to be one thing. I really learnt a lot of things, even if the sunbaes didn't guide me personally, I will observe myself and learn a lot. Many people watch but they don't learn anything. For me, when I watch the sunbaes, I will follow and learn many things.
Can you elaborate what you have learnt from your sunbae?
JW: Uhm Tae Woong is very frank about his own shortcomings. During the filming, when he meets with difficulty for a particular scene, he will say "I cannot understand this part" Actually in front of the hoobae, to say these words are not easy. Those frank revelations, requesting for others help, is very wise. Filming is teamwork, requires many people to complete the job. Pretending to know everything is unnecessary. When I saw this, I felt very good. Sung Dong Il sunbae and Jung Tae sunbae placed a lot of emphasis on cohesiveness. Hyungs' thinking is that "If the actor whom I am working with does well, I will be able to display my acting skills with ease." So they are always able to lead the hoobaes.
(Just then, the manager brings the menu for Joowon who hasn't had his dinner. Joowon's aeygo answer was shocking). Why is Joowon so full of aegyo? The manager answers: Joowon is naturally like this. Maybe because he is the maknae at home. His aegyo ways are receives a lot of love from hyungs and noonas.
Do you also receive a lot of love from dongsaengs?
JW: No, I will change according to my position. In front of hyungs and noonas, I will be aegyo. But in front of dongsaengs, I will be matured.
Some people will purposely display a serious intimidating demeanour just because they are older, will you be like that?
JW: I won't. If you looked at those people, it must be really funny(laughs). When I am strict in front of my hoobaes, it is because I hope I will set an example for them. So, in Ojakgyo Brothers, Uie was very surprised. Uie is my junior in university. Towards juniors, we'll often task them with the cleaning and have some control over them. Under this circumstance, Uie was initially very afraid of me. But when I am at the set, I am a totally different person, and gave her a shock. When she looked at how I was towards the sunbaes, she will say " I didn't know Oppa is such a person"
When you look into the mirror, how do you feel?
JW : Hmm….should reduce more fats
What crazy thing are you saying, where do you need to reduce?
JW: Recently, someone asked me "When you look into the mirror, do you think you are handsome?" I am also human, there are many times I feel that I don't look good. When I am at home and my hair is unkempt, when I wake up in the morning and my face is swollen, then when I look into the mirror " Why is my face like this!" Frequently it happens. But I think it is an occupational hazard, that you want to present the best of yourself, that kind of thinking.
When you were looking at the menu, you don't seem fussy about food
JW: Because I want to eat more, I pay attention to what I eat. Cakes, Tiramisu, those things with butter, I won't eat.
What are your favorite foods?
JW: Sausages, ham…? Haha, that's my taste. Vegetables and healthy foods, I don't really like. I like it hot and sweet. My taste is like that of a child.
You are the maknae, what is it like with you and your hyung?
JW: I have an older brother. I like my brother very much. There is a 5 year gap, hyung takes care of me very well. Not long ago, hyung got married. Everyone is envious of us brothers, we are very close, and we are always happy together and we share many fun and hilarious experiences.
Growing up in such a loving environment, and always getting what you wanted. I am curious, have you ever failed before or have a painful experience?
JW: Compared to other people, I seem to have less painful experience. Although we are not rich, I did not grow up in an environment that is not good, my parents showered me with a lot of love. Only thing is that when I got to high school and chose Arts, the fees was really too high. Normal fees is only 400,000 but the one I went to was 1,000,000. Although my parents could afford, I wanted to foot it myself. In the school performing club I was responsible for lighting, sound and production set etc, I received a scholarship. For university fees, although my parents could afford, because I took a study loan, I didn't ask for allowance, I settle it all myself. It is not because of difficult circumstances that I had to work and earn money but I just thought that I should depend on my ability.
Waa. You are really worthy of your parents' love
JW: But I am often hurt because of some things said, even if it is a few words. I said just now that I give a lot of love but I also wish to receive the same. Hence, I seem to be especially hurt when it's words said by people I liked. Then you probably won't hurt others, right?
JW: Yes. To hurt other people, that's what I hate most. If I feel that I have hurt someone, I will try no matter how to resolve. "Have you caused hurt to that person?" it will always stay in my guilty conscience. So if this thing happens, no matter what, I will definitely apologise.
Fans who adore musicals will usually be very loyal to the actor that they like for a long time. From your musical days there must be many fans who liked you.
JW : Yes, even till now. During premieres, they will always come and support me, I am very thankful. I debut when I was 20. It's already 5 years, for those fans who followed me from the beginning, I hope I will not disappoint them.
25 years old, you have already past half of the 20th generation(sorry my translation fail or maths fail), how do you feel?
JW : Still like a child, need to learn, need to experience much much more, need to have ambition, it's still a age where you are inadequate, inexperienced. I don't feel it's because I did well, that's why I got to where I am. During this journey, realizing what my inadequacies are, that is the most important. Hence, I should not be arrogant just because I am good. 25 years old is the age where I seem to realize that I am inexperienced
Yanna found these gems for us and boy I hope there are more coming…. love the look on his face in the first one. Edwin is a clothes brand for teens cuz it's low priced. Suzy used to endorse this brand too. I wonder if they give out posters or brochures….
1n2d short recaps were getting longer and longer cuz I got carried away with JW's screencaps so they have been moved to a 1n2d post. From here on they will be featured on those recaps. Sorry to move back and forth like this, but I really thought I had the will power to stop posting stuff on the show, but turns out I am weak. His recent hair cut was just too irresistible. 🙂

|Herbert Beery
|Biographical information
|Physical information
Professor Herbert Beery was a professor of Herbology at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry when Armando Dippet was Headmaster. An enthusiastic devotee of amateur dramatics, Beery later left Hogwarts to teach at the Wizarding Academy of Dramatic Arts (W.A.D.A).
Early lifeEdit
Herbert Beery attended a Wizarding School (probably Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry) and likely achieved a high graded O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. in Herbology, as he later went on to teach the subject.
Career at HogwartsEdit
At some point, Beery was employed at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and became Professor of Herbology. Later, The Fountain of Fair Fortune fable was adapted into a pantomime by Professor Beery during the Yuletide for the students at Hogwarts. It resulted into a fire and also a duel by the two girls who had played parts in the play. Beery later confessed to Dumbledore that this confrontation caused his later productions to become as unlucky as the first. Soon after, he no longer wished to mount the performances due to the supposed bad luck which accompanied them and was replaced by Pomona Sprout.
"Herbert" is derived from the Germanic elements hari "army" and beraht "bright". The Normans introduced this name to England, where it replaced an Old English cognate Herebeorht. In the course of the Middle Ages it became rare, but it was revived in the 19th century. The name "Herbert" may be a reference to the English word herb, referencing the subject he teaches.

Wabash College has a best selling author. He teaches Spanish, but that is not his only profession. Professor Luis Aguilar-Monsalve is one of the "Must Read Authors" of Ecuador with multiple books published and more to come.
"I have been writing since high school," Aguilar said. "My first book of short stories was published in 1986. Since then I have published six books of short stories, one of which has three editions."
Having three editions published is a big deal in Ecuador and shows how popular Aguilar's stories have become. He has become very popular for his writing style which uses metafiction, a breakage of structure and conception of short story as well as time and space. Narrative also may be changed through each short story to be a new person or a new way of telling the story.
Aguilar's popularity is going to be fully realized this summer as one of his short stories will be made into a film by Reynaldo Pacheco '06. Aguilar and Pacheco will be working in Ecuador to make one of Aguilar's short stories comes to life.
"I got the idea to make one of Prof. Aguilar's stories into a movie and I asked if he wanted to do it," Pacheco said. "There are so many good stories and we need to be careful to select one that will be good and hopefully include Aguilar acting in it."
Prof. Aguilar was open to making the film, but there were a few concerns as to how the movie would be made and which story would be selected.
Pacheco said it will be hard to make the film, "because it is so complex with so many challenges to get all of these complexities into one project. We're kind of being crazy because we don't know the locations in Ecuador and it will be an adventure creating the story in a film."
Although Aguilar has been writing for a long time, he does not consider his writing to be the most important thing. He equally enjoys his writing and also his teaching.
He was teaching a Latin American short story course and a Wabash student came to class. After the student spoke to the Wabash administration, Aguilar was invited to campus as visiting professor.
"Now I'm in my fifth year here. I always wanted to teach and write, but Wabash was never in my plans. I love both my teaching here and my writing. I don't know which one I like best."
Aguilar is working on his third novel and has published poetry along with some essays. He is still very much a part of the writing world in Latin America. In January, his latest book was selected as the only one of 12 submissions presented to the Committee of Culture to be published. With his filming expedition to Ecuador this summer, Prof. Aguilar will also be conducting an Ecuadorian project where 14 Wabash students will take classes on literature and work there.
Barre is a freshman writer for Wabash College's student newspaper, The Bachelor.

Gas station clerk fights masked man with gun
Clerk had minor injury from armed assault
Police say a Canton gas station clerk was able to fight off a masked man who tried to rob the station at gunpoint, the Patriot Ledger reported.
Canton police said they were able to identify the robber, Carlos Omar Santiago, 35, of 4 Manor Drive, Stoughton, based on surveillance video and arrested him within hours of the attempted robbery.
Santiago was due to be arraigned Friday in Stoughton District Court on charges of armed assault to rob, assault and battery and attempting to commit a crime.
Police say Santiago walked into Austin's Mobil station at 2776 Washington St. in Canton around midnight and showed the clerk a gun, demanding he give him "the money." When the clerk explained that he did not have access to any money, police say Santiago came behind the counter and confronted the clerk with the gun again.
Police said the clerk struggled with Santiago and was able to chase him out of the store. When police, summoned by a panic alarm in the station, arrived shortly after midnight, officers reported that the clerk "was visible shaken" and had a minor injury from the struggle.
Police said they were able to identify Santiago based on leads from witnesses and images from the store surveillance system.

PODs get a break
City Council will vote tonight on another law on pods. Nearly three months after a new ordinance mandated permits and limited POD* use to 30 days, City officials have discovered that they need to amend the ordinance because it required anyone using one of those portable outdoor storage containers to pay a whopping $250. When the ordinance was passed January 17, City staff "did not remember" that the cost for a temporary permit was $250. That's according to a new City report that calls for amending the ordinance and rolling that fee back to $25 or $50– and waiving the fee entirely it if the POD* is removed within 7 or 14 days.
*Many companies may rent such containers, but the best known is Portable On Demand Storage, or PODS.

Video released shows events leading up to Marlon Brown's death
Brown run over, killed by DeLand police officer
DeLAND, Fla. – Local 6 obtained video on Friday from the DeLand Police Department, taken from Officer Justin Ferrari's patrol car on the night Marlon Brown was run over and killed by a DeLand police officer.
However, it doesn't show what exactly happened to Brown, only the traffic stop before officers pursued him from the cruiser of the officer who was assisting former officer James Harris.
According to the investigative report, Ferrari's dash camera shows Brown jump out of his car, kick off his flip flops and take off running. But police wouldn't release that video, citing that state law says video that shows someone dying is sealed and not available to the public.
Local 6 spoke to Jon Kaney, attorney for the First Amendment Foundation.
He says the city is wrong and that the public is entitled to see portions of the video.
"The depiction of the killing, is what the statue covers, so anything - the whole thing- the car pursing, running up into the field, all those things that happened, that doesn't depict the killing- and it should- a video that shows that plus the critical moment the terrible moment- that could be redacted- that's all that's exempt," he said.
Kaney says that applies to the dash cam video from Harris' patrol car as well, which, according to reports, shows Marlon Brown lost his footing and fall, before he suffocated from the weight of Harris' patrol car on top of him.
City Attorney Darren Elkind says the DeLand Police Department doesn't have a copy of that video.
He says they gave it to Florida Highway Patrol investigators, who gave it to the state attorney's office.
"We didn't make a copy because, to preserve the evidence and make sure there was no question that no one did anything with the box- we took it in it's virgin state and turned it over to the FHP," he said.
