The Muppets (2011)
Hi ho, everyone!
We here at MuppetsGifs just wanted to leave a quick message saying Happy New Year and THANK YOU!
Yesterday we hit 100 followers, two weeks after starting this blog. It means a lot to us that you all continue to follow, like and reblog. We really appreciate it! :D
2011 was a great year for the Muppets, and we hope that 2012 will bring even more Muppet fun our way.
Hi ho, everyone!
So I need to start off with an apology. I know this blog has been slacking for the past month, but we have good reason!
Andrew started the DCP at Walt Disney World earlier this year, and I've been in the final stages of (successfully!) interviewing for a similar WDW program. Also I may have been a little lazy when it comes to actually producing gifs. Hee hee.
But with the release of The Muppets on DVD and Blu-Ray today, I felt like this blog needed a little update! Of course we both plan on getting the movie within the next week-ish, so if you have any specific requests, feel free to continue sending them in.
So be sure to expect some new gifs and thanks for sticking around!

"The controls are being lifted," President Nicos Anastasiades told Bloomberg. "They will end within a timeframe of January 2014."
A finance ministry spokesman sounded more cautious, noting that, while Cyprus was working towards lifting the restrictions "by early next year", the control on the international movement of capital "might be the last to go".
The plans emerged after the island agreed in March an international bail-out to rescue its economy and teetering banking sector, with a "troika" of lenders including the International Monetary Fund (IMF) pledging €10bn (£8.4bn).
The bail-out deal involved a restructure of the island's banks. Under the package, Cyprus imposed heavy "bail-in" losses on depositors holding more than €100,000.
The Government closed the island's banks for a fortnight and imposed tight controls when they reopened to prevent depositors pulling out their money before the new restrictions came into effect.
Cypriots still face a maximum €300 ceiling on daily withdrawals, which rises to €500 for businesses.
Separately, on Monday the IMF approved the release of €85m in bail-out funds to Cyprus, after completing its first review of the island's progress.
Christine Lagarde, IMF managing director, said the country had made "commendable progress" with its finances.

This event will take place during the International Furnishing Accessories Exhibition in the very centre of Milan and the competition is open to designers, architects and creative communities worldwide. Learn more about the competition after the break.
Geometric Paradise: Explore the Realms of Wild Tiling
What do mathematics and your kitchen backsplash have in common? More than you might think: according to recent findings published in The Guardian, mathematicians have had a breakthrough in the world of pentagons, resulting in a new class of mathematically tiling shape. This newly discovered iteration is capable of continuously tiling a surface without gaps, unlike the majority of its similarly five-sided cousins. Known in mathematics as the most elusive tile shape due to its seemingly endless angular possibilities, the pentagon has been the focus of serious scrutiny for over a century.
With the discovery of the fifteenth type of pentagon last month at the University of Washington Bothell, we've decided to compile a list of the most eccentric and intriguing tiles currently available. Dive into the world of wild backsplashes and unorthodox ceramics after the break.
Harvard's Material Processes and Systems Group Investigates Structural Ceramics
With "Protoceramics," the Material Processes and Systems Group at the Harvard Graduate School of Design (MaP+S) sought to investigate the architectural possibilities of a material that might often be overlooked: thin, large-format ceramic tiles designed to act as interior finishes or exterior cladding. Instead of accepting the tiles' designation as a surface finish, the team investigated three ways to use them as a self-supporting structural component as part of their ongoing experiment to produce "novel material formations with a special interest in tectonic performance." The three techniques employed focused on the acts of cutting, folding and bending.
Ceramica Cumella: Shaping Ideas
From September 29th to December 8th, the exhibition dedicated to the work of Toni Cumella will be open. His works in ceramic have been utilised by architects such as Enric Miralles, Alejandro Zaera-Polo, or Jean Nouvel. These collaborations made his material became part of the image of Barcelona, being part of the construction of La Sagrada Familia, and the restoration of Casa Batlló and Parc Güell.
Focusing on the 4 main fabrication processes in use at Ceramica Cumella – extruding, casting, pressing and revolving – Shaping Ideas presents the work of Toni Cumella and the application of his ceramics in some of contemporary architecture's most significant projects.

Behavioral Science: Arctic Oscillation (2)
The day job continues to overwhelm – so it's been a while. I want to continue with the Arctic Oscillation / North Atlantic Oscillation. First, however, here is the link to my August presentation. Also here is a link to the GLISAclimate.org project workspace where I collected together the materials I used in the presentation - Arctic Oscillation: Climate variability in the Great Lakes.
What is the Arctic Oscillation? Here from the CPC Climate Glossary is the start of the definition of the Arctic Oscillation. "The Arctic Oscillation is a pattern in which atmospheric pressure at polar and middle latitudes fluctuates between negative and positive phases." I think the definition is a little easier to explain if I focus on the North Atlantic Oscillation and, again from the glossary, "The North Atlantic Oscillation is often considered to be a regional manifestation of the Arctic Oscillation." In the negative phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation there is higher than average pressure over the pole and lower than average pressure over the North Atlantic, for example, over Iceland. In the positive phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation there is lower than average pressure over the pole and higher than average pressure over the North Atlantic.
To give some measure of the Arctic Oscillation meteorologists developed an index. This is a common method to give some sense of behavior. In the Arctic Oscillation the index is the difference in pressure between some middle and some higher latitude regions or weather station. Historically, indices were often developed prior to our modern observing system, and sailors, explorers and scientists noticed that when the weather was, say, wet in one region it was reliably dry in another. As we get more observations and develop a more complete understanding of processes responsible for weather patterns, new definitions of indices are proposed. This paper by Kuzmina et al. 2005 includes an analysis of how some climate model results are related to some different definitions of the North Atlantic Oscillation.
The first figure shows North America temperature differences for a set of winters in the late 1970s and a set of recent winters. What is done here is to take the average temperature for a particular winter, and from that subtract a 30-year average from 1961-1990. Thirty-year averages are used to define "climate" by the standard definition of climate as average weather. Blues mean it is colder than average and reds mean it is warmer than average. Look first at 1978 and 1979. These were very cold winters, and 1979 was the coldest observed North American winter. The spatial extent of the cold included much of the U.S. and Canada. Indeed, in the 1970s some scientists and the press started talking about the coming ice age. I was a student then, and I remember both it being very cold in Tallahassee, Florida and seeing talks about cycles of climate. In class here in 2013, I ask students to think about how today's claims of warming are different from this episode in the 1970s. 2006 and 2007 are notably warm. 2010 and 2011 received a lot of press for being cold, but compared to the 1970s they don't seem so extreme.
Figure 1: North America temperature differences for a set of winters in the late 1970s and a set of recent winters. What is done here is to take the average temperature for a particular winter, and from that subtract a 30-year average from 1961-1990. Thanks to Jim Hurrell
Figure 2: The top plot in the figure shows the Arctic Oscillation Index. The bottom plot shows the December, January and February average temperature for North America. Thanks to Jim Hurrell
In Figure 1 at the very highest latitudes plotted, it is always warmer than the thirty-year average. This statement is least convincing in 2008. Otherwise in the recent record, the temperatures in northern Canada and Greenland are flirting with being 10 degrees F above average.
The maps with the cold temperatures over the U.S. are the times of the negative phase of the Arctic Oscillation and the times of the warmer temperatures are the positive phase. This is shown better in Figure 2. The top plot in the figure shows the Arctic Oscillation Index. The bottom plot shows the December, January and February average temperature for North America. In the years since 1970 there is a very strong correlation between the phase of the Arctic Oscillation and whether or not it is colder than average. There is not an easy relationship between the strength of the Arctic Oscillation Index and how much colder. This will be discussed more fully in a future entry.
In the earlier part of the record, prior to 1960, the relation between warm and cold and the Arctic Oscillation is not as simple as it has been in the more recent years. Not only that, but the magnitude of the Arctic Oscillation index does not reach either the positive or negative extremes recently observed. Further examination, for example in Jim Hurrell's classic 1995 paper, shows that in about 1960 there is a change in the statistical behavior of North Atlantic / Arctic Oscillation.
There are many interesting features in these two figures. From a climate perspective, February 1985 was the last month when we observed global-average temperatures that were below the twentieth century average. When we arrive at February 2015 we will have had thirty years above average – an entire definition of "climate." The warming has been especially large at the highest northern hemispheric latitudes. This means that there is a distinct trend in the North American averages temperature of the past twenty years. The warm parts at higher latitude are much warmer and the cool parts at middle latitudes are also warmer. If we stay on this trend, soon the average might not be below the 1961-1990 average used in Figure 2. There are also many other interesting climate and climate change features that will be discussed in the next, not too far off, blog.

The Lamborghini Pavilion
The slightly inclined Lamborghini pavilion looks like a black, cube-shaped monolith that has been rammed into the Autostadt Park from outer space. It is the symbol of vigorous masculinity and Italian temperament. The brand name Lamborghini is synonymous with top-class sports cars – boasting exclusive design and uncompromising high performance engines, it is one of the fastest mass produced cars in the world.
The dark mysterious interior space - which at first glance appears to be like the cage of a predatory animal – can be viewed from two levels. In an unbridled display of strength, the Lamborghini Aventador assaults all your senses: a mighty elemental roar heralds the vehicle's gradual disappearance into a mist - only to reappear quite suddenly, as if born from fire.

New Evidence on Eastern Europe's Pollution Progress
Under communism, Eastern Europe's cities were significantly more polluted than their Western European counterparts. An unintended consequence of communism's decline is to improve urban environmental quality. This paper uses several new data sets to measure these gains. National level data are used to document the extent of convergence across nations in sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide emissions. Based on a panel data set from the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland, ambient sulfur dioxide levels have fallen both because of composition and technique effects. The incidence of this local public good improvement is analyzed.

Beginning with David Lynch's early short The Grandmother, Alan Splet became a long-time collaborator with the director on the complex and imaginative sound design of all the features up to Blue Velvet.
December 17, 1981 (by phone)
(First of all, I'd like to know how you first met David Lynch?)
We met at Calvin Productions back in Philadelphia in 1970, and David had come to Calvin with THE GRANDMOTHER, which he had done on a grant from the AFI. And he came to Calvin to put sound on the film – it was a thirty-five minute film but he had – it was just totally silent. And initially he was going to work with a friend of mine who was actually running the department there, and through some quirk in fate he wound up with me. And we got along real well and the film turned out really well. AFI was really pleased and David and I formed a lasting friendship.
(When you were doing the sound for THE GRANDMOTHER, how did you arrive at what you arrived at? It's very distinctive.)
How did we arrive at that?
(How did you build it up?)
Wait a minute now. You're talking about something we did eleven years ago.
(Yeah. I realize –)
How did we build it up?
(Yeah. What did you start with because – although a lot of the sounds are natural, there's sort of distortion and – altered quite a bit?)
Well we – and maybe I'm not answering the question right – but we started with – most of the things, most of the sounds are from normal everyday things that we found around the company. David and I would talk about the sound, and David usually had ideas about what he wanted to do but they were very abstract. And then we'd talk about actually getting it down to concrete terms, and then we'd start scouring the company for things to make sounds with – you know, like crushing a plastic box, or in one case we used a pencil sharpener, and in another case we used a staple gun. We didn't have a lot of stuff available. We didn't even have a lot of equipment available there, not like we do now, because it was industrial film producers so they weren't – it wasn't like they had a lot of equipment around. So we often had to make do with what was there. One time we wanted to – there's the grandmother's whistle in the film, and we wanted that little reverb to it, and we didn't have a reverb device – I mean, that was just beyond our means. And so we got the sound basically by rerecording the whistle through a piece of aluminum heat ducting which we just happened to find in the shop. We re-recorded it, you know, maybe fifteen times through this piece of ducting to get the sort of little bit of echo on it that we wanted. So I mean that was the way we sort of worked. Everything was improvised from the materials we had on hand.
(So they were all natural sounds you started with – you didn't create anything electronically?)
No, no. We've never done that on any of David's films. I've never done it on any films I've worked on, I've never used a synthesizer. You know, they're all basically original sounds – some of the sounds of course are just from sound effects records, like there's the sound of a babbling brook in, this is THE GRANDMOTHER. And there's some other sounds that we – you know, thunder and things like that – that are just from a library. But a lot of the other, more unusual sounds, we made, you know, just from things laying about.
(How did you get on to ERASERHEAD?)
How did I get on to it?
(Yeah, were you with David right from the start?)
Well, after THE GRANDMOTHER was finished, David took the film down to Washington, D.C., where – which was the headquarters of the American Film Institute – still is actually. And he played the film, he ran the film for George Stevens Jr, who was then the director of the Institute, and Tony Vellani, who is now the assistant dean – in fact, I think he's the dean actually, at the Centre for Advanced Film Studies down in L.A. And they just flipped out over this film, they loved it. So anyway, he took it down to Washington and played it for George and Tony, and they just – they loved it. And, you know, they were talking about it and they started to talk about the sound. And then they wanted to know how the sound came about. They thought the soundtrack was really good, and they were really impressed with the mix also. So then David started to tell them about me. Well, they were real excited because they were just opening up this Centre in Los Angeles, you know – where it used to be at the Doheny mansion – and they were looking for someone to run the sound department. And so, they were real interested in me having the job. Well, I resisted for a long time, but eventually one thing led to another and I wound up with the job at the AFI and David was a fellow at the AFI. So there we were. Both of us came out to Los Angeles together actually. And of course ERASERHEAD was conceived at the AFI and most of the early, most of the major shooting was done at the AFI. So, and I was there working, so I just naturally fell into, you know, working with David again on the film. And eventually I quit the AFI, but I still continued with David on the film.
(Did you just work on the sound or did you do other things on the film as well?)
Oh, yeah, I – we did everything – I mean, everybody helped out doing everything. I mean, there was nights where we'd work all night on production and I'd help, you know, do the lighting and carrying things around and, you know, help – just help-—yeah, lots of different things. Help build sets. Yeah, we all helped out wherever we could. I mean, everybody, even, you know, Jack Nance helped David with the giant baby head and did all sorts of things. Any time we ever had a shoot, you know, even often when there were shoots where there was no sound I would come down and do other things, you know, like push the dolly or, you know, if it was a complicated scene where there was, you know, maybe somebody had to run a rheostat for a light or something like that, I'd do that, you know. And everybody helped out, you know. Jack would help out when he wasn't acting. And Jack's wife at the time, Catherine, would help out. Everybody just plunged in and did whatever they could. It was a great sort of group effort, you know, and the lines were – there were no really sharp lines in who did what. I mean, when we – of course, when we recorded sound I recorded the sound. But even one night – I remember one night where we had – we were so short of – we needed so many functions, we were so short of people that everybody moved functions. I remember our cameraman at the time, Herb Cardwell, was running sound. I was doing something else. David was running the camera. It was like everybody shifted to another function because we had so few people to do whatever we needed to do. I don't remember what it was at the time, but –
(Were you sort of building the sound for ERASERHEAD while you were shooting? or did a lot of the sound come after it had been finished?)
Well, a lot of the sound came afterwards. But I remember David and I, we built the sound for one scene completely very early on. I think it was because David needed to raise some more money, and we wanted to get a real finish that, you know, that had full sound and picture. So, the scene where Henry first enters his apartment early on in the film, through to the scene where he goes over to the, let's see – no, I think we stopped at the end where he's looking at the photograph. We went that far. We built that scene completely. We got all the sounds and we even did a mix on that section. And that was very early on, because I remember we were still shooting down at the stables at the AFI. But then we didn't do any more after that. I don't recall really working much more on the sound until the film was pretty much complete. I was actually – I'd been in Scotland for a couple of years, while David was struggling to finish up, the last year and a half or so, where he would just shoot like once every couple of months. And then I came back to help David finish up all the post-production. And that's when we really got into it. We spent a whole year from summer of – what was it? 1975, I think – to the summer of '76 – or the spring of '76 – we spent really going through and, you know, making sound effects and laying tracks, and the mix of course. We had a real, a real push at that time too because we thought we could possibly get it into the Cannes film festival. And I remember at some very late date, David and I finally agreed to go do it, and it meant really working, you know, like almost around the clock. So for about a month and a half I was working, you know – I was sleeping in the same room that I was editing. So I would work all, you know, 'til like three in the morning, then I'd crash right away, get up the next morning, eat breakfast, go right back in and cut again. And we actually got most of the film done very quickly to screen for them. They never accepted it, but – I think it was a little too avant-garde for them.
(Can you remember any sort of details of sounds that you used? I mean, like for the baby's voice?)
Well, see there I would have to talk to David first. I don't know what he wants to divulge about the baby. So I'd rather not say anything relative to the baby. Because I know David's usually very secretive about it. And I'd prefer not to say in that particular case.
(Okay. In the thunderstorm sequence – the thunder sounds very mechanical. Can you recall what was used for that?)
I think we started with regular thunder, just library thunder, but we processed it I'm sure. But, you know, it's hard for me to remember what we did really. I can recall one interesting thing that – the opening sound where there's a sort of presence and it kind of widens out as you move in on the planet, the egg planet. And we were kind of wondering, you know, David and I were talking about it and really wasn't sure what to do and I just took this one presence that we had in the library, called "early morning presence", and while we were sitting there I was sort of fiddling around with it and I just stuck it through this one third-octave graphic equalizer that I had and I started to push the – each little equalizer, each little third octave, I started to open it up, push it open. And the sound started to open out and we said, "My god, that's it." So it was like it – you know, you don't know how something like that happens. You know, was it conscious? Or did it just – was it a lucky accident or what? But it was the right sound. And there it was, you know.
(So a lot of it was sort of trial and error?)
A lot of stuff is trial and error. You know, it – very rarely do we hit things the first time out. Generally what happens when David and I work is, we'll talk about the sounds, whatever they happen to be, and then usually I'll try to get more concrete. David usually thinks in very abstract terms, so he says something like, "Well, gee, it would be nice to have a low sound here. Let's find –" But then we have to start, you know – what low sound? what kind of sound? And I have to start probing a little bit just to get it a little more concretized. Then when I think I've got an idea of what it is, I'll try to think in terms of what I've got and how – you know, something I can use to make it. And I'll try something on David. David'll say, "Ah no, no, no," you know. "Let's – it should be such and such, such and such." Then I think back and I think, oh maybe, you know, maybe I'll do such and such, and such and such. And then I'll approach it again and try something different. Or maybe even try a different sound, you know. Sometimes I find sounds that, on my own, that I know David's going to like. Like, there's a low sound in THE ELEPHANT MAN – and I got that sound, I discovered that sound about a year before and just sort of kept it away on ice, you know, sort of on the back burner. And then when David and I finally got together to work on THE ELEPHANT MAN, one of the first things I did was, I said, "David, I've got this low note for you that I think you're going to love," you know. And so I played him some of this stuff and he flipped out over it, you know. I knew he would, you know. And so some of this stuff found its way into THE ELEPHANT MAN. So, I mean, occasionally I find sounds that I know he'll like, I sort of file them away in my head and then when we work together again on something I'll, you know, pull them out and play them for him, you know, then get his reactions.
(Had you done this kind of sound work before you met David?)
No, no. The first time I ever did anything like that was with David on THE GRANDMOTHER. Before that I'd worked on industrial films, you know, just kind of nuts and bolts films. So it was like, meeting David was like, you know, expanding my world of film by about a million percent.
(What are you working on now?)
I'm working on a film directed by Carroll Ballard called NEVER CRY WOLF. It's based on a novel by Farley Mowat. – The old gang. We still all know each other too. It's funny – that period of time was so intense that really we formed lasting friendships from it, you know. It's like, you know, we still all know each other. Catherine was up here recently and stayed with us for a couple of days. I see Jack every so often when I'm down in L.A. And of course Fred – every – when Fred comes up to San Francisco we all get together. So, it's like, that period, that ERASERHEAD period sort of spawned all these friendships, you know. I've just got to say one more thing: it was a really unusual way to make a film. It's too bad that most films can't be made this way. It really was a real group experience, where everybody really shared. I mean, it was like a family for a while. I mean, everybody shared everybody's problems and, I mean, we shot the film, but there was all sorts of other dramas going on too that we all shared in. And it was a really, kind of an exciting time. And it's sad that other films aren't made that way, you know. Most films are such a mechanical process; they come, they work on it, and they leave, you know. That's kind of too bad. It was a very rare moment in filmmaking. It was certainly good to be part of it.

Summary | Excerpt | Reading Guide | Discuss | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
Jonathan Odell's powerful novel takes us to a familiar place: a plantation in the Deep South before the Civil War. Readers will recognize the columned house, the working slaves, the inhumane master, but The Healing is not merely a portrait of slave life. It is a penetrating analysis of identity - the acquisition of it and the ways in which a person can claim an independent self when all forces seem to be against them. In this case, the forces are the slave system and the individual struggling to understand her role in the world is a young slave girl named Granada, who has the misfortune of crossing the path of her sociopathic mistress. Mistress Amanda believes she can reclaim some semblance of her daughter's life by dressing up Granada in the dead girl's old clothes and parading the slave girl in front of white guests, just as she would a real daughter. The result is half-comic, half-...
Additional Info
As a part of his research for The Healing, in 2002, Jonathan Odell interviewed Mrs. Willie Turner, a 91-year-old retired midwife who - like his character Polly Shine - was responsible for providing midwife services to African-American women in Mississippi. Click on the video below to hear a portion of the interview or click here to go to the complete interview page.

Recent reviews
Good 3.5 /5 from 123 reviews
Thought it was more central than it made out online. Rough neighbourhood not far away. We went the wrong way on a night out and had to walk through a pitch black park on the other side of the bridge. Room was nice but the bed was very uncomfortable with a big piece of wood down the middle. Bathroom was tiny and for someone like myself who is 6"3, I couldn't really do much in the bathroom. German and Russian TV programs but nothing in English. Rude receptionist on arrival but lovely lady when checking out and it was only her first shift! It was a good experience staying here, but be prepared to walk or get a taxi and be under 6 foot!
This hotel was terrible. Needless to say of the condition of the room, there were spider webs in every corners of the room. Even on the corner of the bed WITH a SPIDER HANGING FROM IT!! That night I could not sleep because my whole body seemed to be itchy. The next morning woke up with over twenty bites on my body from spiders or flees or bed bugs... whatever it was that was crawling over my body that night. I am still itching from the bites now. Wish I could post up pictures of my disgusting bites.
It was a boat!!!!
the room was with two beds I thought it was a double bed. the bathroom was small. some light fixtures was not working. there were no toiletries such as shampoo and soap. no A/C and we had to open the window for air while it was raining. the staff was friendly and helpful. we were made to feel like as if we should have paid for a more expensive room to get a better room.
We enjoyed a 2 night stay in July 2015. This is a really unique hotel, at a great price. The views & atmosphere from the restaurant on the boat were a real plus for us. There are other bars & restaurants within 5 minute walk, but the main part of town with the main attractions is only a further 5 minute walk. The bedroom was very hot (no air con, unless we couldn't find it) on the first night, when the temperature had been 38c outside during the day, but much cooler on our 2nd night. Overall we would recommend.

Takes on its urging beat .
Mac, I love this story.
It's always fun to read about a train-wreck female who just keeps fucking her life up. When will she learn? At least she throws a penny to charity.
That last stanza is crazy and fun. I like when you write like this. It's jazzy and blue-sy like your picking a banjo with a corn pipe hanging from yer jaw.
Did you know that this particular poem is NOTHING like the rest of your writing.
I might have complained about the word odour, but you're forgiven for throwing in ardour to compliment it.
Fragrance, je ne sais quoi, ambiance, sweet liquor.
Have a fine day.
Hi CP,
I wrote this last night and regretted posting it almost immediately . too ragged I felt. so I was going to either tidy it up or abandon. then I read your comment, and thought yea- it probably works.
I wanted to try something different here- perceptive of you to spot it. I wanted the words to rhyme within the line rather than by line or alternating lines - if you get my drift-; hour , odour , ardour fleeing , being , race ,pace.. all that
and the last stanza is as you say - where you pick up the banjo- in my case guitar - and just throw the sand in the wind - puff - Im off !!- see -you -and if you wouldn't mind just washing that shirt as you're here !
so i'll leave it in this unkempt way -just pour tois.
Dont quite know how its so different to everything else.Is it ?
why ?
Don, this reminds me of the pretentious pigs that I have had the misfortune to meet. But reading the discourse between you and Peach put it more in perspective.
I so adore to encouner BRAINS on this site, for it doens't happen often. I smile at that dialogue, between you and Peach, for it holds meaning to me, how some of us see the world, face the world.... I have a lot more to say, but since I am totally smashed at present, I will reserve it for later.
I hope the winter is not bogging you down yet! If so, you are welcome to the Indian winter of 6 degree C, of bonfires and barbecures, and fun winter dishes!
Very descriptive piece, I found myself captivated by the words that came alive in your piece, enjoying your words "Rapture shifted...". WELL WRITTEN, I am inviting you to read my essay, entitled "THE SPIRIT OF MAN, THE CANDLE OF THE LORD", answering a powerful question, WHAT IS SPIRITUALISM AND CAN THE DEAD SPEAK TO US ?
Sabbay :)
Happy Holidays & New Year !

Nin, in this day and age money is a problem for many, there are ways, tying old tin cans to the gate with a pebble in is a simple method we used in the army, usually a Camel or Goat but on the odd occasion did the job. You cannot put barbed wire in the garden it is against the law but the odd tripping hazard also works, you have to remember you put it there. Boxes or crates can be picked up for nothing if you look and pots packed in and a couple of batons screwed on is simple, these people do not hang about it is in and gone in seconds, easy pickings.
I would say I was surprised by the hang them high posts, you do have to prove guilt and it is very often the last person you would suspect and not the obvious person you thought. Once hung the witch is dead guilty or not.
As my insurance tells me it is up to me to take all positive steps to secure my own property, leaving your keys in the car and the engine running for some reason says neglect so put away or out of sight anything worth money, some areas are much worse than others so more care needed.
It is to be assumed you do not have a place the pots can be stowed with secure locks, you can get Boxes bins and containers cheaply in local adverts or e-bay. These would hold a lot of pots stacked and then chains and locks added. As with all things you are the one who bears the cost to protect your property and thieves will not go to a lot of trouble, if they find stuff locked away then they will wander off to a place where it is easy pickings.
Years ago around me there were a number of garage raids, mine was not touched because I had added a secure side lock, I did show a couple of people how easy it is to slip a garage normal centre lock, they then fitted extra locks and it all stopped.
The time to watch for this sort of thing is not at night but just after dawn, it is surprising how many people are wandering around who will pick up anything that will turn a pound says he who hammers a stake into the ground then wires his large pots to the stake after losing a couple from the front of the house and this is a good area.
Amme, Compost needs three things, a good mix of stuff, Air, Heat Dampness not wet. OK four things then A bin size will not be big enough to get the heat needed over a short period so you are looking at months before compost is made.
The ideal is two large containers one to fill one to use, a good mix would be green stuff woody stuff vegetable peelings paper straw grass cuttings although only a thin layer of that, also the odd pot gets emptied into it. My containers are wood with air slots in the side, they get turned on a monthly basis and I have compost in four months during the summer. As it is turned a handful of fertiliser and a damping with a rose on the watering can is enough to start the heating. Placing them in direct sunlight and out of the wind will help heat up and I have lids on mine to keep direct rain from soaking them, you lift the lid and can feel the heat rising if not then it is not working.
Never put meat of anything cooked in the compost though some do, I would not risk it there is plenty of stuff you can add without that. As I said use some of your grass clippings too much will turn into a dark gluey mess so that goes in the council green bag along with brush wood which is too thick. Compost takes time, a single bin can take a year if it is a cold summer, when I load up a bin in Autumn it is with the knowledge it will take a good six months to compost. The only fast way is how the council does it build it high and wide, they shred everything and turn it weekly with JCB's it will still take six to eight weeks.
Coleus is one of those plants that put a smile on your face, they do need a little help. A minimum temp of 55F or 13C in new language (which I do not use) so will need some shelter and cover until the end of May.
You need to keep potting them on in a John Innes number thee mixture until you reach six or eight inch pots nip out any flowers and take out the growing tips every two or three weeks to get a large bushy Plants. Feed the plants weekly adding liquid fertiliser to the watering can they are greedy.
Keep them in the pots and put the pots where there is sun (do you get any in Scotland) probably up against a sheltering wall or fence A patio is usually a good place if you sit there then the plants will.
So important things, Pot on, Pinch out, fertilise once a week, remove flowers. As Dove says you can over winter them indoors then take cuttings, the colours will fade they need a little water then in Spring trim them and take fresh cuttings.
Let the stem grow, pinch off any seed head and dead flowers trim into shape with scissors in other words be gentle just adjust the head shape . Quite often if you have a South facing brick wall out of the wind that will be enough to keep it with probably a bubble wrap when frost is on the way, I put pot plants next to the wall to over winter and it works.
1) If the feed is organic (made from plant material) I would not use it. Tomorite inorganic give the bottle a good shake and use as normal I do and it works.
2) Far too early to put out Morning Glory, end of May June, keep and eye on it take off any bad leaves and hope.
3) Seed sown where? in trays pots in the ground? if in trays you do not feed you pot on which is why sowing little and often is the best way, they have to be potted on. Seed compost has no feed, the first move has very little feed and the final potting on has about half to two thirds compost. Feed when they are in the final position and settled not before.
4) Buy a yard or so of blanket from the Garden Centre and if it is going to be a cold night then wrap some round the outside plants and take it off next morning, we have short sharp frost in the Northeast to the end of May, like the Boy Scouts be prepared.
I did not know there was such a thing and after seeing the post bumped decided to look it up and yes there is a nursery doing standards.
I can only assume they will be able to take the cold though not heavy frost so a greenhouse would possibly be the best winter cover for it although heating a greenhouse is a very expensive business. The only special treatment I imagine would be water and feed the plant dead heading as needed.
This is all guess work from my experience with Geraniums and Pelargonium of which I have many, just never thought of making a standard.
Fairy Girl, I can see I will have to come back up to Inverness, the sun shone hot and bright on my last holiday, rained when I got home.
Why worry count our blessings that we can grow almost anything in this country, my Herb Bed hot and dry would be classed as North facing yet it gets more sun than most. I rest my case.
Ray, if the compost in the actual grow bag is very wet then the water in the trays will not feed down, if they are the ones I am thinking the water will only release when the compost dries enough to let air into the container releasing the water.
I do not use grow bags now only twelve inch pots which can be topped up with fresh compost every few weeks. Using a large coke bottle with a hole drilled in the cap, filled with water then upended into the compost works on the air release system thus feeding water into the pot when required. When I did use grow bags cutting slits along the side stopped them from getting water logged as the spare water leaked out. as Dove says over watering is not good although I would not let them flag either. One way is to dip a finger in the compost if it comes out muddy too wet, if it comes out clean too dry it should have some compost sticking to the finger just right.
Scott, Garden terminology can be very frustrating more so with plant names, I was brought up with all the old names, then it all went posh. Latin names were the vogue until some one discovered many separate plants were actually of the same genus so it all changed again. By then my brain said enough, I am back to all the old names and terms I knew of old. My garden is South and West facing apart from a section behind the Southern fence which gets little sun so you could say North facing, my front is East facing and partly South facing, confused?? well I am so I ignore the lot and say, sunny, very sunny, sometimes sunny, and wear an anorak, works for me.

The author of "Performance Appraisal Reappraised" participated in designing a study on best practices in performance appraisal for the American Productivity and Quality Center. During this work, the author learned that contrary to expectations, the public sector offered creative approaches to performance appraisals from which private sector enterprises could learn.
Specifically, the Air Force research lab on Dayton put together a performance appraisal system based on how each job contributes to the overall mission of the lab. Individuals are drawn toward those tasks which are difficult, but which offer a significant potential for personal and professional reward (the lab has also structured its pay system around its performance assessment and the value of each job to the lab's operation). This assessment program was developed by the scientists who work at the lab (in other words, by the individuals who are subjected to the assessments) (Grote, 2000).
In Minnesota, the state department of transportation also reworked its performance assessment program to bring it in line with department's mission and strategic plan. A team composed of workers, supervisors and support staff reviewed the goals and objectives of the department, and identified the job skills necessary to meet those objectives. The skills were initially given vague titles, such as "leadership," but the team then spent a considerable amount of time detailing the specific characteristics of each skill. In this way, those individuals responsible for conducting assessments now have "concrete descriptions" of what an employee must accomplish in order to meet each skill level (Grote, 2000, p. 21).
The city of Irving, Texas adopted a similar approach to its performance assessment system in 1999. Here, the individuals designing the new system identified 23 areas of competency considered necessary for success. Within these competencies, specific examples of varying d...

Inequality, Social Respectability, Political Power and Environmental Devastation
Although healthy societies may require a degree of material inequality, higher levels of inequality have been linked to negative social consequences ranging from poorer health to lessened democracy. However, the greatest contemporary threat of excessive inequality might be its contribution to increased environmental degradation. Indeed, avoiding devastation of our habitat may be the greatest challenge ever faced by humanity. This article explores the manner in which inequality encourages consumption, by drawing upon Thorstein Veblen's theory of consumer behavior, whereby in societies in which fluid social mobility is believed possible, inequality encourages households to seek social certification and social status through consumption. Rising inequality strengthens the intensity with which households struggle to maintain social respectability through increased consumption. The ideology, institutions, and behavior generated by this focus on consumption reduce the potential for people to achieve certification of value through more environmentally friendly domains such as work and community. This article also addresses the manner in which inequality impedes responses aimed at reducing environmental damage by augmenting the political power of those whose interests would be harmed by environmental measures. Indeed, the wealthy benefit threefold from pollution: Their disproportionate consumption is made less expensive, their assets yield higher profits, and they are better able to shield themselves from the negative consequences of environmental destruction.

|Re: Concerns about releasing 1.5
|Mon, 27 Feb 2012 14:03:38 GMT
My own personal thoughts on the matter is when you have a public API like we have with Cordova each release should be as good as the previous release. That is, all existing features should continue to work. So things where we are breaking all the plugins or changing the location of the root file system don't sit well with me. I believe those are decisions that should be discussed with the community and planned for a release instead of just appearing in the next release. Also, get off my lawn.
