Dr Jonathan Vickery is Associate Professor and Director of the MA Arts Enterprise and Development. At Warwick he serves on the Steering Group of Warwick Global Research Priorities Committee on International Development (GRP ID). Outside, he is co-director of the Shanghai City Lab, Chairman of The Art of Management and Organization (non-profit research company), and an 'Ambassador' for the EU funded CreArt Project (Network of Cities for Artistic Creation). He has been an Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Peer Review College member since 2009, and has just been invited to serve as member of the Peer Review College of the ESRC.
Dr Vickery spent three years in art schools then six years working in a variety of art projects, design jobs and experimental communal living, before taking his first degree in the History of Art and Architecture at UEA Norwich. His graduate work was in the Department of Art History and Theory, University of Essex, where he completed his MA and then PhD (on modernist aesthetics and contemporary art, late 1999). After a year teaching at Regent's College London, he was Henry Moore Post-Doctoral Fellow at Essex, then in 2001 he became a lecturer in modern and contemporary art in the History of Art department here at Warwick. Dr Vickery was invited to join the Centre for Cultural Policy Studies in 2004. He has since been a Visiting Scholar at Belgrade, Hildesheim and Poznan.
He has founded three masters degrees in creative industries, starting with the MA in International Design and Communication, which ran for five years, being replaced with the MA Global Media and Communication, (handed over to Dr Jo Garde-Hansen in 2011), then introducing the MA Arts, Enterprise and Development, which opened in 2012.
Research interests
My research interests are broadly cultural development and the politics of cultural economy: this has included public culture and the public sphere; urban culture, policy and politics; contemporary art and architecture; creative economy and organisational aesthetics. I am particularly interested in the political dimension of cultural development within cities and local/regional urban economy, as well as the European Union cultural and urban policy, and the role of culture and creative economy in UN International Development.

Arts, Enterprise and International Development
Global City Culture and Development
I believe that universities are unique spaces for cultural experience as well as education, and should be motivated by the public interest. I do not regard teaching and research as mutually exclusive, and in reruiting a 'global classroom' I learn a great deal from the students as they learn from me. Since the start of my career at Essex University I have enjoyed (and to some degree, have specialised in) teaching diverse cohorts of international students. Since I earned a Certificate in Human Relations from the renowned UEA Counselling Centre in 1994, I have taken a particular interest in student pastoral welfare in cross-cultural contexts. During my career I have taught a range of arts subjects, from survey courses on the social history of Western art and architecture since ancient times, to modern art and the European avant-gardes, to contemporary design and creative industries (to date I have created 17 new modules – 8 UG/9 PG). I have supervised over 100 masters dissertations, and currently supervising 6 PhD thesis. Starting my career in the design world (also working as an artist) I am interested in the relation between theory and practice, and the politics of the creative process. This animates my research as well as teaching.
Before I joined the Centre in 2004 I developed the contemporary art dimension of the History of Art Department, where I focused on the social, institutional and political function of art (with my modules on radical art projects, urbanism and public arts, institutions and art markets). I managed two field trips to Paris, and regularly engaged with museums and galleries in Coventry and Birmingham. I still do a small amount of teaching on the artworld for the Institut d'Etudes Supérieures des Arts [IESA] in London.
Student experience
I take an active and interactive approach to teaching, using project frameworks, business simulation, online forum and social media as well as case studies. My new MA program looks at the uses of arts and creative enterprises in development (International Development and local cultural, community and urban development). The relation between theory and practice is often a contradictory or tense one, and I want students to experience that, and realize that solutions or approaches to problems are not pre-given: they have to be improvised, innovated and negotiated.
In the past, as well as conducting many student trips and excursions, I set up the Coventry-Warwick Public Art Project in 2003, with student collaborations for Coventry's urban regeneration. I have managed a program of industrial placements, and created various business simulation and teamwork projects. I have developed a multi-media dimension to research and teaching, and used documentary film as a research medium. One of the most important dimensions of teaching is the contribution of outside professionals, where industry or public sector workers come and (from the BBC to artists, designers or large agencies like McCann Erickson). As for the students, I have always recruited internationally and attempted to build a 'global classroom'. I think cross-cultural learning and intercultural communication are among the most valuable learning experiences on my courses. I am therefore active in student recruitment, and have represented the University on various foreign trips, to the Far East and the USA.

This week, our daughter started the year in her new troop. She was excited and nervous, just as most fifth graders, like her, would be. It was particularly bittersweet, as she had been in the same troop for five years until it disbanded this spring. I'm happy to report that it was a great night, and our sweet girl left excited and happy. Meanwhile, I heaved a huge sigh of relief (sound familiar?!).
I know many of you are having these same experiences with your girls at this time of year. It's always exciting to be a part of those first meetings, where the girls are getting to know each other and starting to make new friends. It is so full of promise and fun!
The beginning of the Girl Scout year also means that it's time to register your girl and yourself as a volunteer or parent. This is critically important! Being registered allows your Girl Scout to attend council program events and camp offerings, along with participating in the Fall Product and Cookie Sales. No girl may participate in these activities if she is not registered. Unregistered girls and adults are not covered by our Girl Scouts of the USA insurance, which would be very problematic should an accident occur. Beyond that, Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama and GSUSA require that all girl participants be registered - period.
Again, please remember to register by Oct. 1. We hope your Girl Scout has a great start to this new GS year!

What's that black Fiio box connected straight into your iPhone? I have an old iPod with a busted headphone jack and something like that could make it useable again. Does that box only produce a line out level for use with amps or does the iPods volume control still work?
That is the Fiio L11 connector. It has a USB input and a 3.5mm out. So you can sync/charge with this connector and also have audio line out for amps.

Macroautophagy (hereafter referred to as "autophagy") is a well-conserved catabolic process in eukaryotic cells. It is defined by the formation of double membrane autophagosome vesicles and functions in the intracellular degradation of cytosol and organelles. Although autophagy has long been recognized, its functions in various physiological and pathological processes have only begun to be elucidated. Our recent work has demonstrated that primary T lymphocytes have the capacity to undergo autophagy and that the autophagy gene Atg5 is essential for T cell survival and proliferation, suggesting that autophagy is a novel mechanism regulating mature T cell homeostasis. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms by which autophagy promotes T lymphocyte survival and proliferation remain unknown. Specifically, it is not clear whether the defect in Atg5-/- T cells is caused by an inability to form autophagosomes or an autophagy-independent function of Atg5? More importantly, if impaired autophagy compromises T cell survival, by what mechanism does autophagy inhibit death in T lymphocytes? Using conditional deletion of a second autophagy gene, Atg7, in T lymphocytes, we have established an essential role for autophagy in the survival of naive T lymphocytes. We have found that mitochondrial homeostasis is disrupted in T cells lacking Atg5 or Atg7. These results suggest that autophagy plays a key role in T cell function through maintaining the homeostasis of intracellular organelles. Our overall hypothesis is that autophagic function in mature primary T lymphocytes is required for cell survival and TCR-mediated proliferation through maintaining turnover of cytoplasmic material, in particular the essential organelle structures such as mitochondria. We proposed three specific aims to test this hypothesis.
In aim 1, we will determine how autophagy is regulated in primary T lymphocytes and the developmental stages at which the induction of autophagy contributes to cell survival.
In aim 2, we will examine how deregulation of organelle homeostasis contributes to cell death in autophagy-deficient primary T lymphocytes.
In aim 3, we will establish the mechanisms by which loss of autophagy genes inhibits cell cycle progression during T cell proliferation. Results from this study will shed important insights to the molecular mechanisms by which mature T cell function is regulated. Better understanding this process will undoubtedly help future design of strategies boosting T cell immune responses to pathogens.
We propose to study the roles of an essential intracellular process termed autophagy in regulating T lymphocyte survival and proliferation. The results from this study, if funded, will provide important information for the treatment and prevention of diseases related to T lymphocytes including designing vaccines to boost T cell immune response to microbial pathogens, tumor genesis and autoimmune disease development.

Nicktoons Unite! DS
- Publisher: THQ
- Release Date: Jan 10, 2006
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
It wouldn't matter if Brad Pitt and a naked Angelina Jolie starred in this game, it's just not very good. It's a stale platformer in which every element has been dumbed down to its basic component and just barely manages to make use of the touch and dual screen.
The good graphics and challenge do not make up for a corny story, generic game mechanics, and obnoxious music.
It fits its ideal child audience and will amuse those young enough to appreciate the cartoons. But Unite isn't really the best thing you can own on the DS right now, especially when you have "Mario Kart DS" and "Mario and Luigi: Partners In Time" available for the same system.
Combining Nickelodeon's most popular characters in one game seems like a great idea, but Nicktoons Unite! is too content to be another generic platformer that leans exclusively on its license.
This is yet another game tied to a popular kids show, and unfortunately it belongs to the vast majority of so-so products based on a famous license.
The presentation is average at best, each character's abilities are scaled down to make room for the entire team, and the gameplay takes a hit when compared to previous products.

text: 000 FXUS63 KTOP 230925 AFDTOP Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Topeka KS 325 AM CST Thu Feb 23 2017 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 325 AM CST Thu Feb 23 2017 Early this morning an area of low pressure was centered over far southeast CO into southwest KS, with a nearly stationary boundary extending eastward into south central to east central KS. Further west, a mid-level trough was noted over northwest Colorado, and this eastward-advancing wave will impact weather conditions across the CWA by early this evening. Scattered mid/high clouds were streaming across the region early this morning north of the stationary boundary. This cloud cover helped to provide some insolation, keeping low temperatures in the 40s. While models show this boundary lifting a bit further north as a warm front today, models have limited the northward progression of this warm front across the CWA. As a result, this boundary may only lift to around the I-35 corridor before getting shunted eastward by the advancing mid-level wave. This boundary placement will certainly have an impact on temperatures today, and expect a modest temperature gradient to develop near the front. With this frontal movement in mind, expect winds to become southerly across far east central KS, resulting in high temperatures reaching into the low/mid 70s. North of the boundary (i.e., north of around I-35) the winds will remain out of the east/northeast, which will limit high temperatures to the mid 50s to mid 60s from north to south. Short-range models continue to show some scattered precipitation developing this morning along and north of this boundary, however model soundings still show a decent amount of dry air in the low levels. So the question becomes whether or not the mid-level moisture will be able to survive through the dry layer. As a result, have only slight to low-end chance PoPs for light showers this morning into this afternoon. Focus then shifts to the advancing mid-level trough which will track a few embedded shortwaves across NE and far northern KS. While the better moisture and forcing will be focused closer to the shortwave across NE, models show scattered precipitation extending southward into far northern KS possibly as early as late this afternoon and continuing through the evening and overnight hours. Model soundings show a strong cap in place through most of the day, with this cap not eroding away until early this evening. With some steeper mid-level lapse rates expected, some weak elevated instability may be present to result in some isolated to scattered thunderstorms across far northern KS. This instability combined with strong 0-6km shear values may result in a marginal risk for some isolated hail development near the KS/NE border this evening. As the surface low shifts east of the area overnight and breezy northwesterly winds set up over the CWA, overnight low temperatures should plunge into the low 30s to low 40s from north central to east central KS. With near- freezing temperatures across north central KS by Friday morning, any light precipitation present from the passing shortwave would likely transition to light snow. .LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 325 AM CST Thu Feb 23 2017 Wrap around precipitation will continue on Friday as the upper low over eastern Nebraska moves eastward through the day. Tight pressure gradient through the day will bring gusty northwest winds to the area. Have increased winds a few knots above model blends. Precipitation looks to be a mix of rain and snow across the area on Friday morning with a few small areas of some freezing rain possible for a couple of hours. Snowfall amounts will be generally less than an inch across the northern counties through the day. Light precipitation will come to an end during the evening hours as the system moves off to the east. Temperatures on Friday will be much cooler than the last few days with readings in the 30s and 40s for highs. Saturday will be dry with highs in the 40s which is normal for late February. The next chance of light precipitation occurs on Sunday into early Monday as the next in a series of waves moves through the nearly Zonal flow. Models differ with the this system in timing and location. The GFS is more progressive and further north than the ECMWF therefore have kept precipitation chances on the low side. Thermal profiles suggest that precipitation will begin Sunday morning as light snow then transition over to rain by late morning and through much of the evening, with a mix of rain and snow prior to midnight. The next system quickly follows on Tuesday as an upper level trough moves out into the Plains. The precipitation looks to mainly fall as rain with a mix of rain and snow Tuesday evening in north central Kansas before it ends. Wednesday looking dry with cool high pressure building into eastern Kansas. Temperatures warm back up to above normal readings by Monday with 60s expected Tuesday before cooling back into the 50s on Wednesday. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday night) Issued at 1137 PM CST Wed Feb 22 2017 North winds of 5 to 10 KTS will increase from the northeast and east on THU.

We present a scheme to engineer a two-mode squeezed state of effective bosonic modes realized by collective excitations of two distant nitrogen-vacancy-center ensembles (NVEs) coupled to separated transmission line resonators (TLRs), which are interconnected by a current-biased Josephson-junction superconducting qubit. By making use of the engineered NVE-TLR magnetic coupling with Raman transition between the ground sublevels of the NVEs, we may manipulate the artificial reservoir by tuning the external driving fields. The TLR decay induces an artificial reservoir, which can drive the system to the desired entangled squeezed states. Our idea provides a scalable way to a NVE-based continuous-variable quantum-information processing, which is close to being achievable with currently available technology. © 2012 American Physical Society.

The properties of the ergosphere and energy extraction by the Penrose process in a rotating non-Kerr black hole are investigated. It is shown that the ergosphere is sensitive to the deformation parameter ε and the shape of the ergosphere becomes thick as parameter ε increases. It is of interest to note that, compared with the Kerr black hole, the deformation parameter ε can enhance the maximum efficiency of the energy extraction process greatly. Especially for the case of a > M, the non-Kerr metric describes a superspinning compact object and the maximum efficiency can exceed 60%, while it is only 20.7% for the extremal Kerr black hole. © 2012.

Collision of two general geodesic particles around the Kerr - Newman black hole is studied and the center-of-mass (cm.) energy of the non-marginally and marginally bound critical particles in the direct collision and the last stable orbit collision scenarios is obtained. The constraint conditions that arbitrarily high cm. energy can be obtained for the near-horizon collision of two general geodesic particles in the extremal Kerr - Newman black hole is found, and it is noted that the charge decreases the value of the latitude in which arbitrarily high cm. energy can occur. © 2013 Chinese Physical Society and IOP Publishing Ltd.

China Received: 27 October 2011 / Revised: 7 January 2012 Abstract We study the collision of two geodesic particles in the accelerating and rotating black hole spacetime and probe the effects of the acceleration of black hole on the center-of-mass energy of the colliding particles and on the high-velocity collision belts. We find that the dependence of the center-of-mass energy on the acceleration in the near event-horizon collision is different from that in the near acceleration-horizon case. Moreover, the presence of the acceleration changes the shape and position of the highvelocity collision belts. Our results show that the acceleration of black holes brings about richer physics for the collision of particles. © Springer-Verlag / Società Italiana di Fisica 2012. Source

Abstract: We study the influence of the spacetime noncommutative parameter on the strong field gravitational lensing in the noncommutative Reissner-Nordström black-hole spacetime. Supposing that the gravitational field of the supermassive central object of the Galaxy is described by this metric, we estimate the numerical values of the coefficients and observables for strong gravitational lensing. Our results show that with the increase of the parameter √θ, the observables θ∞ and rm decrease, while s increases. Our results also show that i) if √θ is strong, the observables are close to those of the noncommutative Schwarzschild black hole lensing; ii) if √θ is weak, the observables are close to those of the commutative Reissner-Nordström black hole lensing; iii) the detectable scope of √ in a noncommutative Reissner-Nordström black hole lensing is 0.12 ≤ √θ ≤ 0.26, which is wider than that in a noncommutative Schwarzschild black hole lensing, 0.18 ≤ √θ ≤ 0.26. This may offer a way to probe the spacetime noncommutative constant √ by the astronomical instruments in the future. © 2011 SISSA. Source

@isaiah Did you see this that I retweeted? MacPro cards to enable support for handoff. I will probably wait until launch to see how what is officially supported at the end. https://twitter.com/OSXWiFi/status/492723336376766464
@isaiah I assumed that it would not let me because I had already redeemed the developer preview. Its downloading not though… Sweet! Did you install it on your MacPro as well?
@isaiah Interesting… I'll give it a shot. I saw on the dev forums that you have to get DP1 and then update. Was that not the case with you? DP1 will not install on my macbook pro. I've tried 3 times.
I did the entire @RapidWeaver hangout today on my iPhone while driving home. It was a great way to make the 3.5 hour drive bearable #fb
Interesting that there is no Free Book of the Week on the iBooks store this week. I wonder if that has ended? #fb
@billkunz I am at Zurb in Campbell and they are looking for a Cocoa dev. I thought of you since you are local. Is it ok if I give them your contact info?
@barchard @danielpunkass @isaiah @kalperini just brought another dev in board and was just looking at the guy flow integration yesterday. It looks pretty nice. Going to give it a shot…

Reviews of this property
My second time here, and again it was great. The place is spacious, clean, and stylish. I like the location, as it is a quiet street but there are many fantastic bars and restaurants within walking distance.
We loved the location and the area. It's a nicely decorated apartment and comfortable to stay with 4 people. Martin is a good and friendly host who knows Lisbon well.
Good apartment, fits nicely to 5 people. Located centrally located with walking distance to cultural and shops! There are many city maps and brochures in the apartment. It serves excellent espresso and freshly squeezed juice just around the corner! The balcony is small and dark and is next to the narrow courtyard.
God lejlighed , passer fint til 5 personer.
Ligger centralt placeret med gå afstand til kultur og butikker!
Der ligger mange bykort og brochurer i lejligheden.
Der serveres glimrende espresso og friskpresset juice lige om hjørnet!
Altanen er lille og mørk og ligger ud til smal gård.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Fantastic apartment. Even more beautiful than the pictures !. Beautiful bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen. plenty of space, very nicely decorated. Great downtown location. Martin and his colleagues were very helpful and friendly. The apartment is in a building with other apartments and is noisy. We have had no problems with that. Recommended!
Fantastisch appartement. Nog mooier dan op de foto's!. Mooie badkamers, goed ingerichte keuken. voldoende ruimte, heel mooi ingericht. Geweldige locatie in de binnenstad. Martin en zijn collega waren heel behulpzaam en vriendelijk. Het appartement ligt in een gebouw met andere appartementen en is gehorig. Wij hebben daar geen last van gehad. Een aanrader!
Full rating number for this beautiful apartment on super perfect location. Many thanks also to Martin for the very warm welcome and good advice. We had a wonderful time in Lisbon.
Volle Sternenzahl für diese wunderschöne Wohnung an super perfekter Lage. Vielen herzlichen Dank auch an Martin für den sehr netten Empfang und die guten Tipps. Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit in Lissabon.
The apartment is very central.
We were very kindly received by Martin.
The apartment is on the 4th floor (there is an elevator) and looks attractive and neat with a separate dining room, lounge, kitchen with all the trimmings and 2 bathrooms.
2 large bedrooms with double beds, 1 small bedroom with two single beds, 1 small bedroom with a single bed and trundle underneath.
Certainly recommended. No negative things to report.
Het appartement ligt heel centraal.
We werden zeer vriendelijk ontvangen door Martin.
Het appartement ligt op de 4e verdieping (er is een lift) en ziet er sfeervol en netjes uit met een aparte eetkamer, zithoek, keuken met alles erop en eraan en 2 badkamers.
2 grote slaapkamers met een tweepersoonsbed, 1 kleine slaapkamer met 2 eenpersoonsbedden, 1 kleine slaapkamer met een eenpersoonsbed en uitschuifbed eronder.
Zeer zeker aan te raden. Geen negatieve dingen te melden.
Martin was excellent and met us on time. He had good communication with us before, during and after our stay. He offered tips for things to see and knew a lot about the local area. The apartment was stunning and very comfortable. There was funky and intriguing artwork from the local area around. Having two bathrooms was really helpful for three people. The location was excellent and within easy reach of all the local sights, places to eat and shopping. We would definitely recommend this location to anyone going to visit Lisbon and would love to use it again some day.
Although I could meet Martin in person, as delegated Elmer, was very efficient solving a problem that occurred with the command of the garage, which we were not delivered until two days after arriving, once could contact him by phone .
The apartment is clean and bright, well located and quiet, except that it is next to the Conservatory, which constantly sounding arpeggios and musical scales, but at least everything so melodiosa.Con botellonas worse is the youth riding Street during the early mornings and evenings neighbors upstairs apartment.
The other great, especially the concierges of the building, always willing to help at all.
There was another problem. Elmer left with the day of our departure at 9 am to hand over the keys, but did not come and did not answer his phone or he nor Martin, so I had to deposit the keys in Concierge.
Aunque no pude conocer a Martin en persona, ya que delegó en Elmer, fué muy eficiente solucionando un problema que nos ocurrió con el mando del garaje, que no nos fue entregado hasta 2 días después de llegar, una vez pudimos contactar con él por teléfono.
El apartamento es limpio y luminoso, bien situado y tranquilo, exceptuando que se encuentra al lado del Conservatorio, con lo cual suenan constantemente arpegios y escalas musicales,pero al menos de forma melodiosa.Con todo lo peor es las botellonas que montan los jóvenes en la calle durante las madrugadas y una de las noches los vecinos del apartamento de arriba.
El resto estupendo, en especial los conserjes del edificio, siempre dispuestos a ayudar en todo.
Hubo otro problema. Quedamos con Elmer el día de nuestra salida a las 9 de la mañana para entregar las llaves, pero no vino y no cogía el teléfono ni él ni tampoco Martin, por lo que tuve que depositar las llaves en Conserjería.
Great Apartment in a perfect part of town - easy walking distance in each direction. We would book it again!
thank you very much martin for this very nice welcome and your nice apartment. very well located very convenient for a nice stay in Lisbon. Everything was perfect ... since we were real amateur of good wine we left you some adequate glasses for your future guests we will definitively come back to your nice apartment

The Spider first bit the world in 1966 in the form of the Duetto. Almost immediately, it became an icon of strada and screen (giving a fine performance in 1968 with Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft in The Graduate). There have been some nips and tucks and a few facelifts as it grew older and then, a couple of years ago, a kind of total rebirthing was planned between the styling houses Pininfarina (which also designs for Ferrari) and Alfa's in-house team. Enter not one but two gorgeous babes. The new Alfa Spider arrived on these shores just over a month ago alongside the new sleek, hard-top GTV. There's already a waiting list for both models.
Imagine you've been quite happy with chicken liver pate and a glass of table wine and then you're served a slice of pure foie gras with some Chateau d'Yquem. A palate revolution. I'm married to a C-reg plonk Peugeot Diesel (we still love each other) but for 24 hours I was to have a serious affair with a Sauternes Spider. I remember once trying on the couturier dress of an aristocratic friend in Ireland. It fitted like a glove and I suddenly felt a strange mixture of beautiful, desirable and successful. Driving the Spider had the same effect. A kind of state where you expect to be worshipped. Raaather pleasant. Actually. And yes, people do stare.
My companion chose the grilled sea bass - sorry, chose to wear his new hideous and expensive Italian sunglasses in honour of the occasion. It rained. We wanted to drive out al fresco with the sun and wind in our hair. We went to Acton instead and got stuck in a traffic jam. But it was a great car to be stuck in and Acton was seriously impressed. You could say we were idoling in the traffic. Very comfortable seat. Excellent posture for the back (orthopaedically designed). Surprisingly spacious. Faultless except for one problem, which may well be the same with all soft tops and I just haven't driven them before: the reversing visibility when the top was up. Let's just say it was indistinct. Part of the Spider's striking design is a high back. This made things quite a strain when parking. But perhaps by the time I afford one I'll also have someone to park it for me. This problem went away with the top down (tried during a brief rain-lull) and it's definitely a car to be driven topless, as it were, whenever possible.
The bonnet is quite beautiful, with two small circular headlamps, two either side, set in like sunken jewels, keeping the sleek nose unruffled. The power steering lets you turn with finger touch. It's got a 16-valve Twin Spark engine - apparently one of the most sophisticated engines ever produced, including timing variator, steel crankshaft with eight counterweights and torsional damper, counter rotation balancer shafts, hydraulic tappets, platinum spark plugs ... Do you think I have a clue what that means? When you're in bed with someone do you really consider their cardiovascular pump? It looks good. It feels good. It's great to go out with and it doesn't talk back. What more could a woman ask for?
Fact: The ratio of women buying the Spider is almost 50:50. Across the whole Alfa range the proportion is 80 per cent men to 20 per cent women.
Alfa Spider pounds 22,000; GTV pounds 19,950. Optional extras including leather interior and air conditioning a further pounds 2,500. (All include VAT). Alfa Romeo: 01753 690693.

I appreciate your joining us. We need some geneticists among us (I am
including you Ben). I think, however, that we could all use a simple
explanation of transposable elements with an example such as seed color in
corn. I fear we are beginning to float way over everyone's head. I have
often wondered if Hosta variegation could at least be partially explained by
transposable elements. I have figured that in our lab we see a new
variegation in something less than 10,000 individuals, which is clearly not
a simple mutation process. I think we need to get terminology straight
before any arguments proceed. Is the movement of an element a mutation or
is there a better way to describe this? What is a position effect?
Ben thinks that H. Patriot -- Minuteman and probably other wide margined
thick leaf 'sports' are tetraploids not some other type of change. I admit,
that I would be more comfortable with a chromosome count, but Ben's
techniques should show ploidy.
I would like to see a simple explanation of how you think the transposable
elements are involved in streaking. And, especially in Hosta such as
Revolution, Allegan Fog, and our Fuzzy (all fortunei from what I can see)?
How about the net type variegations of Strip Tease, Spilt Milk, and Winter
Lightning? I would also invite Ben to give his explanation (or at least
some speculation) for these phenomena, as clearly we have a difference in
opinion here.

We spent one night here when the local Micky Mouse traffic cop decided to take a dislike to the gringos and gave us a hard time. The owner came right down with her niece who speaks great English. The next day the owner drove us to the traffic police centre 45 minutes away where she had a lawyer assist in writing an appeal. Way beyond the call of duty.
We hope no-one else runs across this clown, but if you do the owners at the Tangeri will go out of their way to help.

It's Christmas in July! What a better way to celebrate than to re-experience, for only the second time, the twisted, gory, heart-wrenching, fast-paced, cynical, and downright brilliant Supernatural version of Christmas. Kripke and Co. are a bunch of sick bastards, and we love them for it.
I tried in an exhaustive number of ways to get this review down to a reasonable length, but this episode contained an overwhelming attention to detail. It's impossible to overlook enough of the elements that made up one of the most outstanding episodes of the series to get it down to a decent size. The episode went all out, beyond the usual great writing and acting, it gives us several unique camera shots, extreme set decoration, a brilliant cast of supporting characters, loads of eye catching background details, and even a clever cover story as to why Ypsilanti, Michigan was looking so lush in December. So, in a first for me, an episode recap will be broken into two parts. This is part one, part two will follow later.
The writer of this episode, Jeremy Carver, gives us his first solo script here, and I wonder how many Andy Williams Christmas specials he's seen in his lifetime (I assume enough to drive him crazy). As with his other masterpiece, "Mystery Spot," this script is very diverse, offering snappy and outrageous (in a good way) dialogue; a multitude of jabs at the history of Christmas culture; a progression of scenes going at a wild yet seamless pace that blended laugh out loud moments, powerful emotional ones and very disturbing ones; and a compelling story involving Pagan lore that sucked us in from beginning to end. Plus, it ruined Christmas. What could be better?
The directing on the episode is phenomenal as well, this time coming from J. Miller Tobin. He's directed many TV shows, and this is his second go-round for Supernatural. Considering his first episode was the stellar "Born Under A Bad Sign," he's got an excellent track record with the show. What he did with this episode was nothing short of incredible.
I knew we were getting an exceptional program the second the old CBS intro "A Special Presentation" popped on the screen. As a kid, that intro always let me know that something cool, like Rudolph, was coming on, causing me to squeal with glee. That's exactly what I did here, too. The show didn't waste any time going for shock value either, starting as if we were watching a cheesy Hallmark Holiday special. The living room décor takes a page straight out of the Christmas edition of Martha Stewart Living, a pleasant flute plays "The Twelve Days of Christmas" in the background, and chubby-cheeked little boy greets his Grandpa with glee, for it is Christmas Eve. I can picture the director telling these two "ham it up as much as possible," and boy did they run with it.
This All-American kid, now decked out in his reindeer jammies, peeks through the wooden rail of the stairs to see "Santa" putting presents under the tree, reacting with wide eyes and adorable, lit up face. He gets very excited by the thump on the roof, but "Santa," aka grandpa, knows that wasn't a good noise. Some soot filters down from the chimney, and we assume from the creepy music playing that this will be grandpa's last Christmas. Judging by his chilling screams, being yanked up the chimney hurts. Then his boot falls to the floor. With blood on it. All while the boy watches. At least grandpa gave his grandson a Christmas he'll never forget.
Cue the special title card, a decked out "A Very Supernatural Christmas." Major kudos to the graphics designer on that one. That right there gave us a hint as to how much effort went into this episode.
It's next Christmas, in balmy Michigan, and Sam and Dean talk with a traumatized wife and daughter because dad is missing. Considering Sam found a tooth in the chimney, chances are he's reindeer food. By the way, Sam and Dean in suits make for the best Christmas present ever. They conclude dad couldn't have fit up the chimney in one piece, which is pretty accurate considering we saw proof of that in the last Christmas scene.
Here's a prime example of what happens when great set decoration and directing collide. Sam's researching in this week's motel room, sitting on a dated forest green leather couch when Dean comes in, exposing the red leather retro table and chairs, ugly green curtains, and loud yellow floral wallpaper. A standard room so far, right? After Sam and Dean exchange some theories, we get the full money shot, Dean standing in front of a hokey Thomas Kinkade mural covering the entire opposite wall, instantly throwing him into the center of a cozy holiday picture. I laughed hard and froze the frame, partly because it's the most absurd scene you'll ever see Dean Winchester in, and partly because Jared Padalecki has a Christmas movie coming out one of these days where he plays Thomas Kinkade. Someone had way too much fun setting this up, and we all win.
After researching it, the best idea Sam can come up with is evil Santa. Dean thinks the idea is crazy and reminds Sam there is no Santa, which opens up a nice gaping wound. "I know, you're the one who told me in the first place." Ouch! Nicely played Jared, for the resentment feels very real.
Dean finds out the previous victims visited Santa's village, and at that point I wondered if Jeremy Carver's warped childhood involved too many family visits to tacky tourist traps. Santa's Village is as awful as we imagined, with the weathered, and in desperate need of paint, entrance topped with an evil-looking Santa, wooden buildings that looked like rotting shacks instead of toy workshops, an unenthusiastic elf and guy in reindeer suit standing among the tacky wooden cutouts of a manger scene that gets banned by most neighborhood associations nowadays, and ugly reindeer made of logs that Amish places try to sell at a premium. The set designers must have had every one of their Christmas fantasies, real and surreal, come true.
Dean uses this bizarre backdrop to suggest that he and Sam celebrate Christmas this year. Sam hates the idea, claiming their Christmases weren't exactly loaded with "Hallmark memories." Are they for anyone? My memories of Christmas include being bored stiff with my new toys after an hour and nothing but crap on TV, all while the adults broke into the eggnog early. These were the days before the Internet, DVD's or even VHS, and my videogame choices were limited Pong. At least when I get drunk at Christmas now my kids have GameCube.
Somehow, a goofy reindeer triggers a memory for Sam, he and Dean in a motel in Broken Bow, Nebraska in 1991. The sign says the Cicero Pines Motel. Isn't that the exact same sign from "The Kids Are Alright?" There aren't many pine trees in Nebraska either. This eight-year-old Sam is a drastic improvement the one in "Something Wicked," but thankfully we get the same Dean. Sam's wrapping a gift with the comics page that Uncle Bobby gave him to give to John. The point is clearly coming across that these boys have nothing, not even a Christmas tree can be found.
Sam asks Dean questions, which Dean avoids. How long did Dean think he could do that for? I have a six-year-old who leaves nothing alone. Young Sam is uncanny with every mannerism, down to the puppy dog eyes and sorrowful glare. The scene cuts to adult Sam with the exact same look of despair, and it's remarkable how they pull that off. We honestly believe it's the same person just years later. Now the editors get the applause.
Sam and Dean see gross Santa, complete with dirty wig and beard, a limp, and smelling like either candy or ripple, acting shady with children. They have their anti-Claus.
Instead of moving on with the investigation, the rollercoaster plotting takes us elsewhere, blowing the whole expositional formula to smithereens in a great way. A cheery elf interrupts them, asking if they want to escort their child to Santa. Cue the "Dean throwing Sam in a humiliating spot" scenario, which usually stretches Jensen and Jared into natural goofball territory, often with great results. Dean tells her it's a lifelong dream of Sam's to sit on Santa's lap, and Sam fails in trying to get out of the lie big time by saying they just want to watch. Her face sours, she gives the appropriate "ewww," and once again we have a bit that will be often brought up in "funniest moments" discussions. Add perverts to the list of stereotypes.
Sam and Dean stalk evil Santa outside his trailer, and there's a classic car sighting! From what I can tell given the back only angle, it's a mid 1970's Cadillac Eldorado, and of course, it's red. It's Santa's muscle car sleigh! Dean again brings up the Christmas thing and Sam has another nickname to add to his growing list, "the boy who hates Christmas." I'm going to have to do a separate list someday of all the nicknames these two have thrown at each other. They hear screaming coming from the trailer, and go in with guns pulled. The irony of having to blow away Santa isn't lost on Sam, but Santa is nothing more than a degenerate porn addict with a huge bong and a bottle of Johnnie Walker Red. Why not pretend to be carolers? It might have worked if they actually remembered the words to "Silent Night." Sam and Dean hopelessly fumble through the song while drunk and stoned Santa laughs at them. There's a memory to record in the Christmas scrapbook.
The episode takes another complete shift, going back to very creepy, and again, it's done to the maximum. On comes another ideal holiday home, and this time our innocent child is a sweet, curly haired boy who's eager to greet Santa. Except it isn't Santa, its some dude in a bloody red leather suit who goes upstairs, knocks out mom and drags dad downstairs in his sack. The bewildered boy, with those huge dark eyes, watches scary Santa take out the kid's dad, step toward him, reach out, and grab a cookie on the plate behind him before going up the chimney. Yeah kid, I'm stunned too. Sure, this boy's scarred for life, but maybe he's now a prospective hunter. All hunters got into hunting somehow.
When talking to the emotional victim, Sam asks "Where did you get that wreath?" Oh Sam, I know it's the link to the cases, but couldn't there have been a better way to find out? Sam grabs his collar as both Dean and the woman stare at him in stone silence. "Just curious." Ha! Back at the motel room, Sam delivers the message from Bobby. "Uh, we're morons." The anti-Claus thing is proven a stupid idea, and Bobby shows he's really smart by identifying an ingredient in those wreaths as meadowsweet, the most perfect plant in Pagan lore. Ooh, Pagans! I got a religious magazine in the mail once that gave exhaustive detail as to why we're all Pagans for celebrating Easter. Apparently Pagans love all Christian holidays. Those people with the wreaths are apparently telling the Pagans to come eat them, and Pagan sacrifices are rewarded with mild weather. Very clever guys, but Ypsilanti still isn't that green in December, even with mild weather.
Coming up in part 2, more prime details from this week's "short attention span theater" and the happiest cannibals you'll ever see in your whole life. Plus, we cry.Powered by Sidelines

6 Secret Uses for Oranges
Use for kindling
Dried orange and lemon peels are a far superior choice for use as kindling than newspaper. Not only do they smell better and produce less creosote than newspaper, but the flammable oils found inside the peels enable them to burn much longer than paper.
Make a pomander
Pomanders have been used for centuries to fill small spaces with a delightful fragrance as well as to combat moths. They are also incredibly easy to make: Take a bunch of cloves and stick them into an orange, covering the whole surface. That's it. Pretty simple, huh? Now suspend your pomander using a piece of string, twine, or monofilament fishing line inside a closet or cupboard, and it will keep the space smelling fresh for years.
Simmer for stove top potpourri
Fill your abode with a refreshing citrus scent by simmering several orange and/or lemon peels in 1-2 cups of water in an aluminum pot for a few hours. Add water as needed during the simmering. This process freshens up the pot as well as the air in your home.
Keep kitties off your lawn
Are the neighbor's cats still mistaking your lawn for their litter box? Gently point them elsewhere by making a mixture of orange peels and coffee grounds and distributing it around the cats' "old haunts." If they don't take the hint, lay down a second batch and try moistening it with a bit of water.
Apply as mosquito repellent
If you're not crazy about the idea of rubbing onions all over yourself to keep away mosquitoes, you may be happy to know that you can often get similar results by rubbing fresh orange or lemon peels over your exposed skin. It's said that mosquitoes and gnats are totally repulsed by either scent.
Show ants the door
Get rid of the ants in your garden, on your patio, and along the foundation of your home. In a blender, make a smooth puree of a few orange peels in 1 cup warm water. Slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing.
Thanks! You're on our list.
And your life's about to get more interesting.
Some people like to travel by train because it combines the slowness of a car with the cramped public exposure of an airplane.
Dennis Miller
I think my pilot was a little inexperienced. We were sitting on the runway, and he said, "OK, folks, we're gonna be taking off in a just few—whoa! Here we go."
Kevin Nealon
"I can't wait until your vacation is over." —Everyone following you on Instagram
A man knocked on my door and asked for a donation toward the local swimming pool. So I gave him a glass of water.
Comedian Greg Davies
Just found the worst page in the entire dictionary. What I saw was disgraceful, disgusting, dishonest, and disingenuous.

Lisa Whelchel, it's been real, but your stint on Survivor: Philippines is already disappointing. You've brought none of Blair Warner's flair to the proceedings, and you prove your Survivor cred is lacking with quotes like, "I can only play with the cards I've been given!" Guess who doesn't leave their fate up to the "cards" dealt by other players? People like Parvati Shallow. Russell Hantz. You know, Survivor super-champs.
Thus, it's time to think about which sitcom legends should join Survivor next. I love seeing TV stars of yore regain screentime, so this is a perfect opportunity to highlight other greats who 1) could slip by without the other contestants recognizing them, 2) are cooler than the anti-gay Whelchel, and 3) would be, uh, interesting. Here are our seven best options.
1. Dawn Wells (Gilligan's Island)
This is my most controversial choice because Wells is both 73 and still very recognizable, but come ON. Her island savoir-faire must be rewarded with a trip on Mark Burnett's savage version of a "three-hour tour." Gilligan's Island may be totally dated, but the spry Wells is ready to be challenged again.
Survival tactic: Dawn has real survival skills — remember how ingeniously she can peel a potato?
2. Glenn Scarpelli (One Day at a Time)
Calling all gay male One Day at a Time fanatics (as if there's any other kind): When Glenn Scarpelli appeared onscreen as the orphaned, gregarious teenager Alex, did you immediately think, "Yep. That's me up there." Well, I did. Scarpelli's precociousness was a worthy counterbalance to Ann Romano's exasperation, and because he has natural screen presence and he's out and proud, I say invite him on Survivor to redeem the antigay stench of Whelchel and Jeff Kent.
Survival tactic: How do I know he could fare well in Survivor's arid climates? Duh: He lives in Arizona!
3. Danielle Brisebois (All in the Family)
Danielle Brisebois may have been a boisterous scamp as Archie Bunker's pint-sized foil on All in the Family and Archie Bunker's Place, but now she's accomplished songwriter: For starters, she wrote Natasha Bedingfield's two most recognizable songs ("Unwritten" and "Pocketful of Sunshine") and one of my favorite obscure Kylie Minogue tracks ("I'm Just Here for the Music," which Paula Abdul recorded and released in '09). That is one canny former child star. Let's see if she has the same killer instinct when it comes to finding immunity idols.
Survival tactic: With her band New Radicals, Brisebois proved she knew the value of working hard to achieve a reward. Isn't that the point of "You Get What You Give"? Sort of?
4. Suzi Quatro (Happy Days)
If I've learned anything from Survivor: Philippines' Denise, it's that I love a no-nonsense, rugged woman on this show. Enter Suzi Quatro, Happy Days' rock 'n' roll chanteuse Leather Tuscadero, who's actually been living a life of quiet, moneyed splendor in Essex, UK, where she still releases albums. I'd give anything to see her affable, sly mug on Survivor.
Survival tactic: If you can out-cool Arthur Fonzarelli, you shouldn't have much problem currying favor in a tribe of misfits.
5. Danny Pintauro (Who's the Boss?)
The 36-year-old Who's the Boss alum-turned-Tupperware advocate came out 16 years ago, and like Whelchel, he abandoned acting altogether and seems pretty unconcerned about it (if his Twitter bio is any indication). Sure, his online hookup habits were once exposed, but whatever: Hooking up is a thing gay people sometimes do. Hooray for him. I want his darling grin to brighten up tribal council.
Survival tactic: If he could learn to wield an accordion for that classic episode of Who's the Boss, Mr. Jonathan Bowen can also learn to build a fire. Also: He survived Cujo, didn't he?
6. Eve Plumb (The Brady Bunch)
Eve Plumb, a.k.a. Jan Brady and — more importantly — Dawn of Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway, is kind of a bad-ass. Though her job on The Brady Bunch was to beam with inscurity, she's showed some boldness in recent years. When fans asked what her favorite episode of The Brady Bunch was, Plumb deadpanned, "The last one." Later, when she appeared with the rest of the living Bradys on an episode of Celebrity Weakest Link, she answered a question with the response "smegma," apropos of nothing. Baller! Strap on your knapsack, Eve, we're shipping you to Vanuatu.
Survival tactic: Strike up an alliance with George Glass.
7. Kellie Shanygne-Wlliams (Family Matters)
No real reason here. I think she's one of the great underrated sitcom actresses (seriously, think of Family Matters without her) and deserves to be on TV. How do you like THAT, Carl Winslow?
Survival tactic: Buckets and buckets of stinkeye

Keep the area around your plants free of weeds. Weeds compete with all plants for food, water and light. Walk around the garden periodically and pull weeds, including the roots as soon as you see them. Mulch also assists in keeping weeds down.
Remove spent blossoms promptly to promote additional blooming. Pinch off blooms when they are no longer attractive, but take care to leave as much foliage as possible.
Add 1 tablespoon to soil in hole and mix thoroughly before planting the transplant. Scratch fertilizer at above rate into surface once they start flowering/fruiting. For existing garden, broadcast around existing plants and incorporate into soil at the above rate. Apply at the beginning of growing season and again when plants start to bear vegetables.
