About Me
- Cathy Clementz
- A long time ago, I was a child. (I started out as Cathy First from Colon, Mi.) For the past several years I've been an adult. A lot of things went on between those two stages of life; probably no more or no less than anyone elses. My husband and I moved to "da U .P" from southern Lower Michigan several years ago (yes we were trolls at one time). We owned and operated and operate Clementz's Northcountry Campground and Cabins just north of Newberry, Michigan until May 2015. We have grown kids and grandkids (who all live downstate). My passion is life and all that Nature has to offer us and trying to photograph it in unique ways. Our intention in life is to see all that Nature has to offer us. We hope that you will be a part of our adventures as we cruise through our lives together. Come back often!
Monday, December 24, 2012
Dan and I had tried to start traditions with our blended family, but it was difficult since we WERE a blended family, the kids all had other places to "get to" for Christmas. That meant our Christmas morning was a BIG rush.
But the weeks before Christmas I tried to involve our two boys and our girl in making cut out Amish sugar cookies and helping to frost them. It was a total mess and I'm sure I lost my patience more than once, so maybe it wasn't such an enjoyable day for them.
We would get them all cut out in shapes of Santa, Rudolph, a wreath, a tree, an angel and a bell, then we would put them between layers of wax paper and stick them in the freezer till just before Christmas. We would then bake them and frost them...and have them for part of our Christmas breakfast.
As I said, Christmas morning was a hurry up event, but I tried to make it nice. Dan and I would fix a smorgasbord of breakfast items, including the Amish sugar cookies. Dan's Mom had some very pretty, plain little red plates, so that helped in making the table a bit more festive. But at that age, I think all the kids cared about was getting THRU breakfast so they could get to their stockings and the packages.
At this age, they no longer believed in Santa, but I wanted to carry on the tradition of a Christmas stocking for each one of them.
After all of this was over, they'd all rush off to their other "homes" and it WAS all over. Sigh....
So, this morning, as I said, while sipping my coffee and missing my kids and the frosted Amish sugar cookies to go with my coffee, I felt I needed to share this in hopes that my kids might find time to read it and know that I miss those times and that I am sorry for any thing that I may or may not have done while they were growing up that made their lives less than pleasant. Love you all, kids....

Hi Cathy, I bet your kids are thinking about those Amish cookies this morning too.ReplyDelete
I spent the day away from my family in Ohio which made me very sad, but I was with my extended family here in Los Angeles-- My godson and his mom who celebrate Christmas. It was joyful with just the three of us because we could take our time and not have to rush-- This year Godson arrived at his mom's at 10am Christmas morning after (probably rushing) spending Christmas Eve and morning with his dad. I'd like to think we've made some memories together over the years.
I know how hard it is to "blend families". I haven't been terribly successful at it with my husband's grown kids and now grandkids. But all we can do is try and that's what you and I have done. I think our hears were in the right place. And like I said, I'm guessing Amish cookies came up in conversation today :-)
Merry, merry Christmas to you and Dan. xoxo jj

Headbutt (Kopstoot) (Netherlands | 2017, 9 min)
Directed by: Daan Bunnik
Cast: Nils Verkooijen, Felix Osinga
Headbutt is situated in the shared bedroom of Tobias (15) and Lucas (18) and portrays the desire of Tobias to restore the old relationship he had with his brother. While they used to do everything together, Lucas has no interest in his younger brother anymore. He becomes angry for no reason and because of his unpredictable character Tobias becomes frightened of him. He hardly dares to approach him, doesn't to look him in the eyes and definitely doesn't dare touching him. But when Tobias fantasizes that Lucas will commit suicide, Tobias has no other option than to reconnect with his isolated brother.

Happy Literary Birthday, John Fowles (and Ned Hayes) !
Literary Birthday - 31 March
Happy Birthday, John Fowles, born 31 March 1926, died 5 November 2005
Also, my birthday! (SinfulFolk.com / NedNote.com)
(Post Via amandaonwriting)
Top 12 John Fowles Quotes
1) There are only two races on this planet - the intelligent and the stupid.
2) There comes a time in each life like a point of fulcrum. At that time you must accept yourself. It is not any more what you will become. It is what you are and always will be.
3) The most important questions in life can never be answered by anyone except oneself.
4) We all write poems; it is simply that poets are the ones who write in words.
5) You may think novelists always have fixed plans to which they work, so that the future predicted by Chapter One is always inexorably the actuality of Chapter Thirteen. But novelists write for countless different reasons: for money, for fame, for reviewers, for parents, for friends, for loved ones; for vanity, for pride, for curiosity, for amusement: as skilled furniture makers enjoy making furniture, as drunkards like drinking, as judges like judging, as Sicilians like emptying a shotgun into an enemy's back. I could fill a book with reasons, and they would all be true, though not true of all. Only one same reason is shared by all of us: we wish to create worlds as real as, but other than the world that is. Or was. This is why we cannot plan. We know a world is an organism, not a machine.
6) There are many reasons why novelists write, but they all have one thing in common - a need to create an alternative world.
7) That was the tragedy. Not that one man had the courage to be evil. But that millions had not the courage to be good.
8) Wealth is a monster. It takes a month to learn to control it financially. And many years to learn to control it psychologically.
9) I think all the arts draw on a nostalgia or longing for a better world—at root a better metaphysical condition—than the one that is. Self-destructive, I don't know, but certainly we are all victims of some form of manic depression. That is the price of being what we are. I would never choose—even if I could!—to be a more "normal" human being; I would never choose something without that emotional cost, severe though it can become.
10) Writing novels is a time-consuming, psyche-consuming business. I mean I don't think a good teacher actually would be likely to write good novels.
11) What interests me about novelists as a species is the obsessiveness of the activity, the fact that novelists have to go on writing. I think that probably must come from a sense of the irrecoverable. In every novelist's life there is some more acute sense of loss than with other people, and I suppose I must have felt that. I didn't realize it, I suppose, till the last ten or fifteen years. In fact you have to write novels to begin to understand this. There's a kind of backwardness in the novel…an attempt to get back to a lost world.
12) If a novelist isn't in exile I suspect he'd be in trouble.
Fowles was an English novelist influenced by both Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus. He is best known for The Magus and The French Lieutenant's Woman. Fowles was named by The Times newspaper as one of the 50 greatest British writers since 1945.

The open enrollment period for changing Medicare Advantage and Part D prescription plans ends December 7. While Medicare-related fraud is a year-round concern, Medicare recipients should be especially alert for fraudsters during open enrollment, when scammers use the increased public attention about Medicare choices as an opportunity to strike.

TODAY was a day to celebrate the truth that God is alive and interested in the details of our lives. "TODAY was the day that the Lord made and we DID rejoice and we WERE glad in it." Psalm 118:24 ( My Mama's favorite verse in the entire Bible. She passed away in October 2006 after only 4 months of cancer and she claimed this verse daily all of her life)
Yes, TODAY was a gift I will remember always.
It began at Atlanta Hospice Chapel with 40 family members and close friends, along with many of our nephew, Brad's caretakers from the nursing home he has spent the past 4 months at.
Just a little background for those of you that are unaware and may be wondering...On June 24, 2008, Brad was 24 when he fell onto the concrete from his six four height and suffered a TBI. (traumatic brain injury) We knew right away that his injury was extremely serious and he went through brain surgery 24 hours later. Though Brad did show occasional signs of wakefulness, he never knew us and really showed few significant signs that he would make a recovery, but we, his family, kept hoping and praying. God answered our prayers in a different sort of way...After ten long months, with frequent trips to the emergency room from Signature Healthcare of Atlanta where he was being cared for, Brad passed peacefully in his sleep on Sunday night, April 19, 2009, just after he reached his 25th birthday.
(see caringbridge.org re: bradlamkie)
Now, you might be saying or at least thinking, how can we "rejoice" over such sad circumstances? Here are some of the reasons: God's provision of excellent health care every step of the way, the love, support, and prayers from friends, the realization that when we seek God, we WILL find Him, (James 4:8 and Jeremiah 29:13) the comfort that is provided by food from friends and fellowship with family at a sad time like this.
After the service, we gathered in our home to share photos and memories of Brad's short life. We enjoyed chicken pot pie, salads, an array of incredible desserts, all prepared by friends who care. WE laughed, we cried, we shared smiles and sighs. We loved on each other and held each other tightly. Our daughter came home from college to be with us. Brad's cousins traveled over from Charleston to be with us.
My sister, Laura Lea, Brad's mother, took each niece and nephew's face and said, nose to nose, "TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, YOU ARE IMPORTANT TO YOUR FAMILY."
They all, each one, listened intently.
Yes, TODAY was a gift.

This is the day... Knowing Christ sure helps get you through the tough times. It is much easier to let go knowing where he will be and that one day you will be together again! My condolences to your family.ReplyDelete
I am amazed at the way God works in our lives. As I read this blog today, I, too, am rejoicing about a miracle that he provided yesterday. Our new puppy, Rascal, ran out in the street to greet a man walking. I was out there with him babysitting but couldn't get to him fast enough before a car came by and he, our little 10 lb. terrier mix rescue dog was under the car. Joan has been to visit me and Rascal and knows how much we love him. Anyway, after rushing him to the vet and replaying this exact same scenario with our first little rescue dog Dixie in my mind (she didn't live), I was distraught and in disbelief that this could happen AGAIN!! After, xrays and exams, the vet told me Rascal was a miracle, basically unharmed after being totally underneath a car. I was talking to my mom when it happened and told her to PRAY as I rushed him to the vet. She and my brother sat in our living room and prayed silently until they got the phone call. When I called later to tell them the GREAT NEWS, mom started singing "praise GOD from whom all blessings flow, praise HIM all creatures here below." I know you might be thinking what a strange response to Joan's beautiful story about BRAD, her nephew, a son, a brother, a grandscon, a cousin, a friend...and I'm talking about Rascal, a tiny 10 lb. precious teriier mix rescue dog. But, I know Joan ( a HUGE Blessing itself) and she would be thrilled to know that GOD blessed us with this miracle saving Rascal,one of God's little creatures. There are lessons to be learned in life. I am a single 50 year old mom who is tired and trying to keep a real estate career going in this economy. Joan has visited me recently to encourage me.

Holy Spirit is always with us and often surprises us with impressions, pictures, thoughts, dreams and visions. God speaks to us because He wants to touch the hearts of people in a personal way in order to build and renew a relationship with Him.
Excellence is as important as inspiration. In this workshop, Marion will work with you on how to create good image composition whether it is in inspired, spontaneous as well as prepared pieces of painting, because it is vitally important for your art's powerful expressiveness.
What are the important components of good composition? How do we come to such an understanding? How do you create balance in your work?
In the practical part of the workshop, you will capture impulses from God using charcoal and apply the principles of composing a picture that were taught.

Seven Habits of Highly Connected People
Seven Habits of Highly Connected People: By Stephen Downes, posted in Lisa Neal's blog (and soon to appear in eLearn magazine). He makes some excellent observations. If you want to learn how to expand your abilities and presence within online social networking, this is a good place to start. My favorite is "Be yourself:...Learning and communicating are not merely acts of sending content over a wire. They are about engaging in (what Wittgenstein called) a 'Way of Life'. Having a cat is as important for a physicist as having an advanced research lab..." (So I've been thinking I'm a computer addict, but actually it's just that I'm involved in a Way Of Life.)

Don Gillis, Renaissance Music Man
The musical legacy of the 1935 TCU graduate connects the university and Amon Carter to NBC and Toscanini.
Don Gillis, Renaissance Music Man
The musical legacy of the 1935 TCU graduate connects the university and Amon Carter to NBC and Toscanini.
TCU Band Director Don Gillis '35 put the band on the map by arranging swing-style versions of the hit songs of the day, such as ones made popular by legendary bandleaders Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw.
In 1937, Gillis gave Fort Worth Star-Telegram publisher and TCU band booster extraordinaire Amon G. Carter a huge thank-you: He composed "The Amon Carter March," a swing-style anthem that became a halftime standard. Carter had spurred the Fort Worth community into supporting construction of a new football stadium in 1929 and personally sold $500,000 worth of bonds. Not surprisingly, the new stadium was named after him.
Carter had made it possible for the TCU Band to travel wherever the football team went by chartering trains with Pullman cars for both the band and the football team. As the band boarded the train, Carter would give each member a $20 bill, saying, "There's more where that came from. Boys, have a good time!"
Yelling, whooping and stomping, Carter loved to lead the TCU band in "The Amon Carter March" while wearing his purple and white handmade boots with Horned Frogs cut into the heels. And Gillis' composition had made him even more the star of the show.
With a career spanning more than 40 years, the influence of Gillis as a composer and educator was felt at nearly every major institution of higher education in North Texas, including SMU, Dallas Baptist University and the University of North Texas.
Gillis was born in Cameron, Mo., in 1912 and moved with his family to Fort Worth in 1931. He attended TCU on a band scholarship and studied composition with Keith Mixson, a professor of piano. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in music in 1935.
After graduation, Gillis became TCU's band director and served in that position until 1942. At the same time, he played trombone on the staff orchestra at local radio station WBAP, directed a symphony at Fort Worth's Polytechnic Baptist Church and taught students at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and the public schools in Fort Worth.
In 1943, Gillis earned his master's degree in music composition at North Texas State Teachers College (now the University of North Texas). He then moved from director of production at WBAP to producer for NBC Radio in Chicago, eventually becoming a producer and scriptwriter for the NBC Symphony Orchestra in New York City.
Gillis gained fame for his regionally themed works, such as "Portrait of a Frontier Town," "Big D," "The Alamo," "The Panhandle" and "Tulsa" as well as for compositions, such as "Symphony 5½: A Symphony for Fun," which debuted live by Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops and on radio by famed conductor Arturo Toscanini in 1947.
Perhaps it was Gillis' radio work with Toscanini and the NBC Symphony Orchestra in the 1950s that will be best remembered. Gillis produced many of Toscanini's most memorable programs, including "Serenade to America" and "NBC Concert Hour."
After Toscanini's retirement in 1954, NBC decided to disband the NBC Symphony Orchestra. As president of the Symphony Foundation of America, Gillis was instrumental in reviving the NBC orchestra as the Symphony of the Air. He then produced "Toscanini: The Man Behind the Legend," which ran on NBC Radio for several years after the Italian conductor's death.
Gillis later served as vice president of the Interlochen Music Camp in Michigan, chairman of the music department at SMU, chairman of the arts department at Dallas Baptist College and composer-in-residence and chairman of the Institute of Media Arts at the University of South Carolina.
Gillis also was a prolific composer in many contemporary styles and genres. He used American musical idioms, such as jazz, be-bop and the blues in his compositions to reflect a sense of wit and whimsy. "Symphony No. 7, Saga of a Prairie School" was commissioned by TCU and debuted as part of the commencement exercises at Will Rogers Auditorium on June 6, 1948. At that ceremony, Gillis was awarded an honorary Doctor of Music degree in recognition of the creation of the symphony.
Gillis wrote three books, including a textbook on media instruction and a satire about conducting methodology. About his unpublished humorous autobiography, And Then I Wrote (1948), Gillis commented, "Nothing has been left out of here except a brief mention of the spawning habits of the lamprey eel and a recipe for fried grits."
Gillis died in Columbia, S.C., in 1978. His collection of scores, papers, tapes and photos is maintained at the University of North Texas as The Don and Barbara Gillis Collection, 1932-77.
Editor's Note: For more than four years, Marcia Melton wrote TCU Magazine's "Mem'ries Sweet." In 2015, she won first place in column writing from the Greater Fort Worth chapter of PRSA for a column on the 1930 debate between TCU and Wiley College. She completed this final column shortly before her death in early May.

Welcome to the first "Why Worry? Wednesday." This is a part of my Holiday Party Planning Series. Please be sure to check out the Introduction and previous posts if you are new to my blog.
The series begins this week with "Things Women Worry About When Planning A Party." Included in this series will be:
Who to Invite & WILL ANYONE SHOW UP?
What to do before, during and after your event to get guests to crown you "Hostess of the Year"
We begin with:
Who to Invite & WILL ANYONE SHOW UP?
There are many things you can do before, during and after your event to ensure your guests will attend, and will want to attend, your events.
Date Selection -Getting your guests to attend takes more than just an alluring invitation. Think about your own obligations and apply it to your guest list. Consider more than just choosing whether a Friday or Saturday will work. Scan the local newspaper or school websites to find out what is going on in the community that might be a conflict for your guests. Sports schedules, school concerts and local community events such as holiday parades and tree lightings should be taken into consideration.
Send an enticing invitation - Be creative! This is an example of how I used humor to get party guests from the Georgia Coast to come to a party in Northern Georgia:
Intrigue them with a creative theme -When choosing a theme, think outside of the box. Just because it's the holidays doesn't mean you have to have traditional themes. Try "July in Christmas" for a fun theme . With traditional parties, add another dimension by having a centralized event such as having Santa stop by or have Christmas carolers stop by. Focus more on what you can offer your guests that is different than just the theme's décor.
Simple Elegance during your event - Down play the decor. SIMPLE decorations make a stronger statement than lavish tinsel and bows.
Food that is different but wonderful - Add a few unusual items to your regular party table. Pickled watermelon Rinds or Okra Tea sandwiches are great conversation starters!
Make each guest feel they are the most important guest - take the time to sincerely thank each guest for attending. Everyone is busy during the holidays and they didn't have to take the time to stop by YOUR party. Be grateful!
Never let them see you sweat - Have everything ready so that you are out of the kitchen by the first ring of the doorbell.
Consistency is the KEY - Guest will remember and RETURN to your home for wonderful parties. Keep up the level of elegance at each function you host- whether it's the holidays or just afternoon tea.
- Send a card, or email, with pictures of you guests from the party, thanking them for attending.

The Nashville Convention & Visitors Bureau has announced The Mavericks will headline the city's annual Music City July 4th: Let Freedom Sing! celebration.
The multi-day July 3-4 event will expand to the grassy field along First Avenue south of Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge, dubbed "The Lawn at Riverfront Park." With a goal to increase capacity for visitors and vendors, the new campus will replace previous location Riverfront Park, which will feature a jumbotron of the concert.
"Each year, our goal for this event is to bring more visitors to town and to maximize economic impact. These changes help us do that," said Butch Spyridon, President of the Convention & Visitors Bureau. "Using this 11-acre site will allow us to accommodate roughly 20,000 additional people."
Additional performers at the event include Craig Morgan, Sarah Darling, The Music City Hit-Makers featuring songwriters Brett James and Hillary Lindsey and the Nashville Symphony Orchestra led by Associate Conductor Kelly Corcoran. Storme Warren will again emcee.
Festivities will begin Tuesday, July 3 with a free concert at The Lawn at Riverfront Park beginning at 6 pm. The July 4th celebration begins at noon with live music on the pre-show stage. The official concert will kick off at 6:45 pm. The show will air on Sirius XM.
The events culminate with the "South's largest fireworks show" choreographed to live music.

Which direction should I take my industrial marketing?
Up until this point, there has been almost no online presence, yet my father has been able to keep the company going for about 30 years. Since I've come on officially a couple months ago, I've decided to take on the marketing side of things. With zero experience in this, I'm having some trouble.
What I've started with:
-I put analytics on the current website (30-50 visits a month)
-I'm working on putting together a more current and responsive website.
Target Audience:
-Aluminum smelters
-Glass melters
What resources do you suggest so that I can get an idea of what my next steps are? Facebook marketing seems too personalized for these types of industrial products.
Any help would be appreciated, even if it's pointing me in the right direction for resources regarding industrial marketing. Thanks!

Citing the need to increase transparency and reduce counterparty and operational risk, the European Commission today released new proposals to regulate the OTC derivatives market. Among other things, the proposals would require trades in OTC derivatives in the EU to be reported to central data centres (trade repositories) accessible to regulators. A new European Securities and Markets Authority would be responsible for registering and monitoring trade repositories, while standard OTC derivatives would have to be cleared through central counterparties. The EC expects the proposals to be promulgated by the end of 2011.
For more information, see the EC Press Release and the accompanying Impact Assessment.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The low-as-it-gets ranking hasn't escaped the collective eyes of the Indianapolis Colts.
In ESPN's post-draft rankings, they rank 32nd in the 32-team NFL.
And remember, this is a league that includes the Cleveland Browns, who are coming off the NFL's second 0-16 season and have won once – once – in their last 35 games and are 2-41 in their last 43. The rank-and-file also includes the Chicago Bears, 13-34 over the last three seasons and without a playoff appearance since 2010, and Tampa Bay, which hasn't reached the postseason since 2007.
"At this point, we're focused on who we've got in the building and how we're going to get better,'' coach Frank Reich said Wednesday. "Now (there's) really not too much time bulletin board material.
"I think we take note, but we don't go crazy on that right now.''
Clearly, the national perception of the Colts has reached the ho-hum neighborhood. And there's trusty evidence for those who choose to diss Jim Irsay's operation. It has failed to post a winning record in three consecutive seasons for the first time since 1989-91 and missed the playoffs in three straight years for the first time since 1988-94. The last time the Colts endured four consecutive non-winning records: 1978-86.
It's anyone's guess to what degree the Andrew Luck Saga has impacted the national perception of the Colts. We would argue the roster is stronger today than it's been since Indy reached the AFC title game after the '14 season – even so, there's so much work to be done – but let's not kid ourselves. Luck's on-field presence, even after missing an entire season, greatly increases the team's week-to-week chances.
A fully recovered Luck, albeit one that must deal with accumulated rust from extended inactivity, means a much more competitive Colts.
General manager Chris Ballard is in the second year of what has been described as a three-year rebuilding process, but allowed his optimism to bubble to the surface last week during an appearance at a Zionsville Rotary luncheon.
"I think we're sitting on a sleeping giant, I really do,'' he said.
But back to that ESPN poll and the fact the Colts are holding it up.
It reminds us of 2012 when the Colts were transitioning from Peyton Manning to Andrew Luck, from Jim Caldwell to Chuck Pagano, from Bill Polian to Ryan Grigson. They bottomed out in '11 without Manning, who was dealing with his neck issues, finishing 2-14.
They headed into Luck's first training camp with zero external expectations. The Associated Press' offseason rankings listed Indy 32nd. The team not only noticed, it took exception and used the slap as motivation. Players wore T-shirts in camp that reflected the No. 32 ranking.
Pagano was quick to seize on motivational moments, and quickly assumed an Us versus Them stance during his first training camp.
We'll see whether Reich follows suit. For now, he has more important issues to deal with. Foremost among them: continuing to oversee the growth of a young, revolving roster, during the organized team activities portion of the offseason program.
"It's always an on-going process,'' he said. "I think we do know (what we have), but you're getting to know even more. You have a certain feeling for things. You're looking to confirm things, but we always want to stay in growth mode. We talk about that all the time with players: you've got to be willing to grow.
"It's building a relationship with someone. That's a growing process. That's a never-ending process and it's actually a really fun process as well.''
The Colts figure to head into the regular season with one of the NFL's younger rosters, even with the presence of 45-year old Adam Vinatieri. The 90-player roster includes 22 rookies and another four players who have never appeared in a regular-season game.
There is positional competition at every turn: offensive line, defensive line, linebacker, wide receiver, running back, secondary.
"We've got a lot of work to do,'' Reich said. "We like the position we're in. I like the guys we have in the room. I like the guys that are out on the field, in the meeting room, in the weight room. I like what we're seeing.
"Let's just put it this way: I'm very confident that the team we're going to put on the field this year is going to be a highly-competitive team.''

If you are looking for a quick weekend getaway from the hustle and bustle of Singapore, then Batam Island is the perfect destination. It is the answer to real beach, sun and sea for a few days or in my case just a day trip. Maybe not the best island vacation but it is so near and worth a weekend visit. It's just 45 minutes by ferry from Singapore.
May not have a great spectacular destination, it is a decent getaway for family and friends who are looking to have fun with watersports, eating fresh seafood, affordable shopping and massage centers. Aside from that, there are a few good spots for attractions too.

|This article is out of universe from Kung Fu Panda.
|This subject has been distinguished as part of the real world and therefore should not be taken as part of the fictional universe of the Kung Fu Panda franchise.
Written here is the full transcript of the episode "Sticky Situation" from the Nickelodeon television series Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness. This transcript has been separated into three segments, indicated accordingly to the episode's commercial breaks.
Character dialogue lines were originally written by the episode's screenwriter, Scott Kreamer. Descriptions shown between italicized brackets were written by contributors of this article.
Act 1
[The episode opens up to the Furious Five eating in the Jade Palace kitchen, Viper is encouraging Mantis to eat.]
VIPER: Come on Mantis, you have to eat something. [Sets a bowl in front of him.]
MANTIS: [Sighs] I can't. My stomach feels like I've been drinkin' from the cup of heartbreak and sorrow. [Sighs]
[ Po walks in.]
PO: Did you try salt?
CRANE: It's not that. Mantis' girlfriend dumped him, and now he won't eat.
MANTIS: [Sighs again] She was the most beautiful caterpillar you ever saw, then one day, poof, she becomes a butterfly. Now it's like, I don't even know her.
TIGRESS: Romantic entanglements upset one's chi, that's why I avoid them.
MONKEY: Yeah, that's the reason.
PO: Oh Man-tis, you gotta eat. No eaty no energy, no energy no trainy, no trainy no...
MANTIS: Why-y are you-y talking like that-y?
PO: Because it's adorable... ooh I know just the dish to sooth your tiny broken heart. [Jumps to the corner and does the splits to reach the higher shelves.] Need a few bean paste dumplings, [Puts dumplings in a bowl.] liberal portion of honey, [Pours a jar of honey on the dumplings.] some sticky plum sauce, extra sticky, [Pours sauce on the dumplings.] and my own super secret ingredient.
[Po sprinkles a sand-like substance on the dumpling dish.]
CRANE: Isn't that what we patch walls with?
PO: So! Now we patch a broken heart. Now just give it a little bit of a stir [Stirs the dumplings with chopsticks.] and voila! Po's famous sticky dumplings. Try one Mantis. [Walks over to Mantis.]
MANTIS: Thanks Po. [Opens his mouth. Po pushes the dumpling into Mantis' face, making him stuck.] I seem to be stuck on your dumpling.
PO: Oops! [Chuckles nervously] [Mantis remains stuck to the dumpling as Po lifts the chopsticks from the table.] I guess I kinda went overboard with the sticky.
[Po tries to get Mantis unstuck by waving the chopsticks violently through the air.]
MANTIS: Not… as much fun… as it looks.
[Po bumps into Tigress' chair while swinging Mantis around.]
TIGRESS: This is ridiculous. [Gets up.] Here.
[Tigress grabs Mantis and pulls along with Po.]
MANTIS: Po! Po!
[Mantis becomes unstuck causing Po and Tigress to fall back. Po falls into a wall and Tigress falls into the table, flipping it. The five end up in a pileup next to the flipped table.] [ Shifu walks in.]
SHIFU: Mealtime is over, let's train.
[Shifu walks away, the five follow. Po remains on the floor with a sticky dumpling stuck to his nose.]
PO: [Sits up] Uh, b-but I just made… I mean it seems like a shame to waste the… and… [Tugs at the sticky dumpling on his nose.] Maybe I'll just… [Rips the dumpling off his nose, yelling in pain. He prepares to eat it when Shifu calls.]
SHIFU: Po!
[Po puts the dumpling down and runs off. He quickly comes back and eats a dumpling and runs off again. He comes back again and eats one more dumpling before continuing on. He then reaches around and grabs the last two dumplings on the floor next to the bowl and leaves. Then he reaches around the corner and takes the bowl of dumplings.] [Meanwhile the Furious Five begin training on the various mechanisms in the Training Hall. Mantis jumps through the Seven-Talon Rings and lands in his respective stance. He then drops his stance and lets out a melancholic sigh. The rest of the five land in their stances near Mantis.]
SHIFU: Excellent. Now Po I… [Gasps. A chewing sound is heard off screen.] Panda are you eating in here?!
[Po holds up his finger and continues chewing and then swallows.]
PO: No.
SHIFU: We have rules about eating in the Training Hall.
PO: Is one of them that we should?
SHIFU: [Sighs] That's enough training for today; you're dismissed... [The five bow and walk off. Po begins walking off with his dumplings.] ...except for you Dragon Warrior, I have a special mission for you.
PO: Ah, [Looks to the five who are smiling while walking out the door.] you guys go on; special mission.
SHIFU: I would like the Dragon Warrior...
PO: Yes?! [Gets increasingly excited as Shifu talks.]
SHIFU: To clean the entire Training Hall by sunset. [Hands Po a broom.]
PO: Huh? Aww! But Master Shifu you don't understand, I was gonna...
SHIFU: [Shifu stops at the top of the stairs.] Yes?
PO: I got nothing, so I thought I'd just trail off like that.
SHIFU: Good decision. Now, get to work and take care, this Training Hall is a hallowed and special place. [Closes the doors.]
[Po walks down towards the Jade Tortoise of Wisdom and sets his bowl of dumplings on it.]
PO: But first, a little Dragon Warrior action. [Cuts to Po's right foot, preparing his stance at the Swinging Clubs of Instant Oblivion.] [His hand gets stuck to it.] Stuck! The sticky dumplings! Might've made 'em a bit too sticky. [As Po pulls himself off the club, the chain supporting it snaps and he falls. He narrowly avoids getting hit by the falling club by rolling out of the way and landing on the rotating logs. The other clubs begin falling and Po quickly runs to the platform to avoid getting hit. Po jumps into the Jade Tortoise of Wisdom, causing the dumplings to fly across the room and get wedged in the gears of the rotating logs.] The dumplings! [Smoke bellows out of the mechanisms.] Oh no, the entire place. No! [The entire Training Hall falls apart and smoke envelopes Po for a while.] I broke the Training Hall, that's kinda impressive... and awful! I gotta fix this before Shifu finds out. [Po tries to get the gears turning again.] Almost... I just gotta... [He changes positions to try to turn the gears.] Here we go... feel the thunder... [He falls and lands in front of a sticky dumpling.] You! [Walks over to the sticky dumpling and picks it up.] I hope you're happy sticky dumpling! This is all your fault! [His expressions softens.] Aww, I can't stay mad at you. [Eats the dumpling] What's this? [The screen pans and reveals a wooden plank with silhouettes of Shifu and a warthog on it.] They must've made the Training Hall. That's Shifu's mark, and that's... Taotie. [Gasps] I'll get him to fix the hall.
[The scene transitions to another wooden plank with the silhouette of Taotie on it where Po arrives. He approaches a small house. He walks up to a rope in the middle of the path that's set up to cause someone to trip.]
PO: Hey someone could trip over this. [Carefully steps over a rope. Steps on a rock that activates a booby trap. A large boulder narrowly misses Po, followed by a large axe. The axe then cuts rope causing several other mechanisms to activate.] Whoa, that is so... huh. [A small ball rolls by and lands in a hole. After a few seconds a large log hits Po and brings him all the way the small house.] ...sweet! [He slams into the house creating an indentation.] Wasn't so... [Falls] ...Bad! [Lands on a circle with an X-shape on it, sits up, and lets out a sigh of relief. An arrow hits him in the neck. He pulls out the arrow, looks at it, and collapses. He opens his eyes and sees a young warthog holding a cup.] Taotie?
BIAN ZAO: Dad it's for you.
TAOTIE: What is the meaning of this?!
[Taotie hits Po with a stick several times before he blocks it.]
PO: Look, I didn't come to fight. But if it did, just so you know, I'm sorta the Dragon Warrior. You'd need more than a stick.
[Taotie activates the stick making several spinning blades come out of it. He approaches Po and makes him back down.]
PO: Yeah, that'd do it.
[End of Act 1]
Act 2
[Taotie slowly puts the spinning blades towards Po.]
PO: [Whimpers in fear] Whoa, cool thingies!
TAOTIE: Care for a closer look? My own invention.
BIAN ZAO: Nobody cares dad!
PO: No, that's plenty close! Look, I wouldn't bother you but [Laughs nervously] someone needs your help.
TAOTIE: Who?
PO: Shifu.
TAOTIE: [Shuts off the spinning blades] Shifu seeks my assistance?
PO: Uh, yeah. He's like all, "Get Taotie, he's the man."
TAOTIE: That doesn't sound like Shifu.
PO: He's got a little cold. Anyway, the training hall you guys built, it's kinda... broke.
TAOTIE: [Throws the staff on the ground and throws a tantrum] What?! That equipment was built to last centuries! What kind of addlepated lummox could've broken it!
PO: No one knows. But uh, between you and me I think it was that grasshopper lookin' guy.
TAOTIE: And Shifu sent for me?
PO: You could say that, or you could say that it would be great if you fixed the hall without anyone ever finding out.
TAOTIE: Aw, now I understand.
[Bian Zao begins walking away.]
BIAN ZAO: I'm gonna take a nap. [Yawns] Wake me when you guys aren't lame. [Leaves]
TAOTIE: Please excuse my son Bian Zao, he's just learning the business.
BIAN ZAO: Lame!
PO: So will you do it; will you fix the Training Hall?
TAOTIE: Anything for my old friend Shifu.
PO: Who we're not gonna tell anything about this to.
TAOTIE: It'll be our secret.
PO: [Sighs] What a relief. If you fix it, this'll be awesome.
TAOTIE: Sounds great! Could you stand on that X again. [Po stands on the X and gets hit with an arrow, knocking him out instantly. Bian Zao comes back. Taotie picks up the spinning blade staff.] This is too perfect my son; escorted into the Jade Palace by the Dragon Warrior, right under that moron Shifu's pointy nose. [Laughs]
BIAN ZAO: I thought you said Shifu was your friend.
TAOTIE: Was my friend...
[A 2D flashback sequence begins. A younger Shifu and Taotie train in the courtyard near Oogway. They both strike a stance.]
TAOTIE (V.O.): Many years ago, Shifu and I trained at the Jade Palace.
[Shifu kicks Taotie, causing him to fall and break a tusk. However, Shifu still helps Taotie get up.]
TAOTIE (V.O.): We thought better training would do the trick [They stand in front of the written plans for the Training Hall.] so we worked side-by-side building the Training Hall; [They push up a support beam as Oogway watches.] my finest achievement.
[Shifu smiles at the creation while Taotie nearly cries tears of joy.]
TAOTIE (V.O.): But while it helped Shifu improve tremendously, [Shifu bests each of the pieces of equipment.] I was still hopeless. [Each piece of equipment bests Taotie.] I wanted to make up for my lackings, [Taotie is covered in bandages while Shifu bows to Oogway. Taotie works at building a large machine.] so I devised ingenious mechanical contrivances to compensate for my weak spots.
[Taotie puts on a pair of goggles and sits in a large mechanical warthog that shoots flames and blades.]
TAOTIE (V.O.): I was so excited to show my mechanical improvements to Oogway and Shifu. [Oogway and Shifu look at the machine with their mouths agape.] They looked at me with horror. My machines had sullied the purity of kung fu.
[Oogway and Shifu close the doors to the palace as they make Taotie leave. Taotie descends the stairs from the Jade Palace.]
TAOTIE (V.O.): Well I've got news for you: Kung Fu is outdated and useless.
[Lightning strikes, ending the flashback.]
TAOTIE: With machinery comes power. Now this lumbering mountain of black and white pudding will take me right in. Once my machines and I are victorious, the villagers will see what true power is. They'll turn their backs on Kung Fu and worship me like a god.
BIAN ZAO: I'm not going.
TAOTIE: Just come, you'll have fun. I will soon destroy all who once opposed me! [Laughs evilly]
[Po wakes up and begins laughing. He walks over to Taotie and begins laughing louder. Taotie stops laughing and Po's laughter dies down.]
PO: So you guys ready to go?
[Later at the Jade Palace, Po carries a large crate to the Training Hall. Inside the crate are Taotie and Bian Zao.]
TAOTIE: Is this really necessary?!
PO: Yes, I told you. [Po panics and drops the crate.]
TAOTIE: Ow!
[Crane and Viper approach Po.]
PO: Yikes! [He tries to make the crate seem less suspicious and ends up leaning on it awkwardly.] Hey uh, you guys look great. Been uh, workin' out?
CRANE: Uh, no, no one's been workin' out because the Training Hall's closed 'til you finish cleaning it.
PO: Oh yeah, right, and that's just what I'm gonna do with this crate [Crane and Viper exchange glances.] of giant sponges. So uh, bye!
[Po picks up the crate and runs into the Training Hall. He drops the crate in the Training Hall.]
TAOTIE: Ow!
[Taotie gets out of the crate.]
PO: Okay, now, we don't have much time so...
TAOTIE: Behold my son, my greatest... Wha'?! The Training Hall, it's ruined! [Taotie runs over to one of the fallen clubs and picks it up, caring for it as if it were alive.] Oh, it's okay, I'm here now! What did you do to it?!
BIAN ZAO: See what I've been dealing with?
[Taotie walks over to Po.]
PO: Look I told you I... Look we can go back and forth over who did what and... [Taotie scorns Po.] Okay, not so much with the back and forth, but what's important is can you fix it?!
TAOTIE: Of course. But, for a job this big I'm going to need special tools. Do you have anything of infinite power in the shape of an orb that's made of jade.
PO: No we do have the Jade Orb of Infinite Power... Oh. Ah, but that's sacred and it's only for huge emergencies!
TAOTIE: Well, what exactly would you call this?!
PO: Good point. I'll be right back, just remember to stay out of sight.
[Po leaves the Training Hall.]
TAOTIE: Soon the Jade Palace will be ours my son.
BIAN ZAO: [Sarcastically] Neat.
[Po opens up a small cabinet and retrieves the Jade Orb. Po runs through the Training Hall courtyard past Monkey who is already focused on doing pull ups. Po trips over some equipment and is left planking on it.]
MONKEY: What are you doing?
PO: Uh, wh-what're you doing? I mean uh, stop looking at my butt, I'm sensitive about it.
MONKEY: Oh, [Covers his eyes] sorry man. [He quickly peaks at Po.]
[Po gets up and continues toward the Training Hall with the Jade Orb. He gets inside and gives it to Taotie.]
PO: Uh, there you go. Now if we can just move things along in here 'cause uh, I'm kinda out of time.
TAOTIE: Certainly, just keep everyone out
PO: Right, I'm on it. [Screams. He runs towards the door and slams it as Mantis tries to enter.] Mantis! [Goes outside] Uh, what're you doing?
MANTIS: [Sighs] Drowning my sorrows in a good workout.
PO: Oh, that's a terrible idea. You know, what you should do, talk about it [Picks up Mantis.] like somewhere else and not right here. [Walks away]
MANTIS: [Sighs] I miss my girlfriend so much. Everything I look at reminds me of her, like that rock, or that butterfly.
PO: Actually that's her.
BUTTERFLY: I'm just gettin' my stuff.
MANTIS: When does it stop? The hurting! [Slouches]
PO: [Gasps as Tigress approaches the Training Hall.] Tigress! Good talk buddy I feel better bye. [Runs off. Po lands in front of Tigress and bounces, landing on her.]
TIGRESS: Get off of me! What are you doing?
PO: This is better than training on some machine right. Feel the burn.
[Tigress gets out from underneath Po.]
TIGRESS: I am going in there.
[Tigress begins walking towards the hall but Po quickly stops her.]
PO: Why? Because you're scared of me.
TIGRESS: I'm scared of nothing.
PO: How 'bout now. [Po growls and roars.] Or now. [Po makes a stupid face and sticks out his tongue.] Or now. [Laughs wickedly]
TIGRESS: I am not scared of you.
PO: Yes you are. Scaredy cat, scaredy cat, scaredy [Po runs out of the courtyard as Tigress chases him.] caaaat!
TIGRESS: Po! Po.
[Po peaks down from the over hang revealing that he hid and did not run off.]
PO: Shifu! [Jumps in front of the doors to the Training Hall.] Oh uh, Sup' Fu, I mean Shi. See how I did that backwards, Fu. [Laughs nervously]
SHIFU: I want to see how the Training Hall is coming along.
[Po blocks the doors.]
PO: I want it to be a surprise.
SHIFU: I don't like surprises.
PO: Really, because I'm doing some stuff with floor wax that will really blow your mind.
SHIFU: [Looks at Po suspiciously.] What are you hiding from me panda?
PO: Uh, nothing, what makes you think I'm hiding anything...
[Tigress tackles Po and pins him. The rest of the Furious Five now show up.]
TIGRESS: Thought I wouldn't find you huh?
MONKEY: You're not sensitive about your butt.
VIPER: Giant sponges aren't heavy.
CRANE: You've been acting weird all day.
MANTIS: Are you dating my girlfriend?!
PO: You guys must be crazy because I don't know what you're talking about.
[The door to the Training Hall burst open. Po, Shifu, and the five land on the other side of the courtyard. A large machine reveals itself when the dust settles. Taotie and Bian Zao sit in it.]
TIGRESS: What is that?!
PO: The Training Hall.
SHIFU: And who is that?
TAOTIE: Hello Shifu, my old friend!
SHIFU: Taotie!
[End of Act 2]
Act 3
[The large machine wields large weapons and holds them high.]
SHIFU: How did this happen? How did he get in here?
TAOTIE: Oh, it was quite simple Shifu; your Dragon Warrior showed us right in.
[Po smiles nervously and does a stopping motion towards Taotie. Shifu and the five all direct there attention toward Po with a look of anger. Taotie laughs.]
PO: Yeah, 'bout that, I kinda got some sticky dumplings stuck in the training machine which then went all like crash boom and then I found Taotie to fix and then he bla bla bla bla bla made that!
SHIFU: You're responsible for all of this?!
PO: No! Yes, but I-I thought you and Taotie were friends.
SHIFU: We were once; until he abandoned kung fu when his heart turned dark.
PO: Oh uh, would've been good to know.
[Shifu growls and face palms. Po cringes.]
SHIFU: I'm very angry with you panda, so angry I can't even think of a punishment harsh enough.
[Taotie pulls a lever on the machine causing a large hammer to smash Po into the ground.]
SHIFU: That's good enough. Everyone, positions.
[The five all get into fighting positions. Po begins climbing out of the hole.]
PO: Yeah, we can do it! We can take this thing down!
SHIFU: Po, I gave you a broom and this happened. Do you think I'm going to let you fight?!
MANTIS: Yeah, maybe you sit this one out.
TIGRESS: Haven't you done enough?
MONKEY: As the wise men say, "Get the heck out!"
PO: But...
TIGRESS: We don't want your help!
[Po gives up on trying to help and runs away.]
TAOTIE: Look at that Shifu, all your precious training running away. You'll never see a machine do that.
SHIFU: And you'll never see a machine do this.
[Shifu knocks his staff on the ground. Tigress rushes at the Kung Fu invention. Taotie pulls a lever making a spiked metal ball hit Tigress. Tigress clings on to the ball and lets it fling her up into the air. She then comes down on the ball with a hit and breaks it off. Crane swoops toward the machine. Taotie controls the machine so that it hits the spiked ball into the air, narrowly missing Crane. As Crane approaches, the machine lifts its weapon which is topped with a large stone. Crane kicks through the stone. Monkey throws Viper at the machine. Viper coils around one of the weapons, breaking the other spiked ball off. Monkey then charges at the machine making his way up it and breaking another one of its weapons. Meanwhile, Po sits in the dining room with the battle shaking the place.]
PO: Oh gah, this is torture! [Sighs] I'm an idiot, all this mess just because of some stupid dumplings. [Looks to a bowl of dumplings and his eyes widen.]
[Taotie sits in the machine laughing and using every weapon that's still left on the machine. The five move narrowly avoid being hit by the wooden serpent heads. Tigress runs at the machine dodging ropes along the way, then one hits her and ties her up. The machine fires a multitude of arrows at Crane. Crane deflects them all but is bested when a net hits him and ties him up. Monkey does at flying kick at the machine. The machine shoots out a chain which grabs Monkey and throws him out of the fight. The machine shoots many throwing stars at Viper, who is quick to dodge them. The machine then fires a trap at Viper and takes her out of the fight. Mantis at the machine and clings on to a blade. The machine fires off the blade, throwing Mantis.]
MANTIS: Bad idea!
[Shifu looks at the machine. Taotie looks at Shifu with a dull expression. Shifu takes a fighting stance. The machine shoots throwing stars at Shifu, which he repels with his staff. The machine then shoots a large blade at Shifu, which he diverts by letting slide just above him and pushing it. Then the machine blows fire and shoots a chain. Shifu jumps out of the way of the fire and chain but has to quickly jump into the air to avoid being grabbed by the serpent head. The serpent head still grabs Shifu and he drops his staff. Taotie suspends Shifu in front of him.]
TAOTIE: So Shifu, ready to admit that machinery is more powerful than your old fashioned kung fu?!
SHIFU: Machinery will never be more powerful because it has no heart.
TAOTIE: And soon neither will you!
[The machine releases Shifu into another serpentine head, which begins trying to crush him. Shifu struggles to keep the jaws open. Taotie laughs wickedly.]
PO: Surrender Taotie!
[Po shows up with a wok on his head.]
TAOTIE: Ha! Your panda style is no match for my mechanical marvel!
PO: It is you who is no match for this. [Pulls out a bowl of dumplings.]
TAOTIE: Dumplings?
SHIFU: Dumplings?!
PO: Sticky dumpling style. [Gets into a stance with chopsticks and the dumplings.]
[The machine fire a flock of arrows into the air that start coming down towards Po. Po kicks the wok into the air clearing a group of the arrows and making then land around him. Taotie is stunned but continues attacking. Next, the Seven-Taloned Rings roll out towards Po, barely missing him. Po jumps into the air and throws some dumplings into the machine, with no effect. The machine then shoots a chain at Po nearly making him lose his chopsticks and the dumplings. With the chopsticks in his mouth and the bowl on his head the machine begins pulling him. Po is able to grab the chains and whip them out of their socket. The machine then shoots fire at Po, which he ducks under. Po uses the fire to cook a dumpling and eat it he then quickly dodges two throwing stars.]
PO: Come on sticky dumplings, do your thing. [Throws several dumplings at the machine.]
[A serpent head seemingly smashes Po and dust flies everywhere. Taotie laughs triumphantly. The dust settles and Po comes running towards the machine. He throws a dumpling and climbs up the machine.]
PO: Shifu! [Grabs Shifu]
[Taotie pulls a sticky dumpling off of his snout and turns back to the fight. Po and Shifu stand ready to fight. Po feels around for a dumpling and realizes he doesn't have any left. The machine approaches them and slams down a large axe. Po is able to grab the axe blade and keep it from coming down.]
TAOTIE: Thought you could beat me with dumplings?!
[The dumplings get into the gears on the machine and begin damaging it.]
TAOTIE: What's happening?! Crank harder.
BIAN ZAO: You crank harder.
TAOTIE: No!
[The axe lifts up from Po and the machine falls apart. Taotie and Bian Zao are left on a wooden platform with Taotie holding the Jade Orb of Infinite Power.]
PO: You fellows wanna come down and try your luck mano-a-mano, without hiding behind your machines.
[The wooden platform breaks and Taotie and Bian Zao fall. The Jade Orb rolls toward Po and Shifu. Taotie emerges from the rubble with his spinning blade staff. Po and Shifu get ready to fight.]
TAOTIE: Not really. [Grabs Bian Zao by the tail and uses the blade staff as a flying machine to get away.] We'll be back for the palace some day, and then you'll see the awesome power of my inventions and... [The spinning blades slow down.] Wha? Did you oil these blades like I asked you to.
BIAN ZAO: Blades are stupid.
[Taotie and Bian Zao scream and fall, hitting the ground hard.]
PO: They're getting away! [Begins running towards the impact sight.]
SHIFU: Let them go panda; we'll send them the bill.
PO: Shifu, sorry for...
SHIFU: Everything?
PO: Well, I don't know about everything, but... a lot.
SHIFU: Po, I must admit that you did a good job defending us. So good, that I have one more job for the Dragon Warrior.
PO: Yeah? Bring it!
[Shifu pulls out a broom, to which Po whimpers but proceeds to accepting. Later that night Po and Mantis eat sticky dumplings in the dining room.]
MANTIS: Delicious.
PO: More sticky dumplings Mantis?
MANTIS: Oh, don't mind if I do.
PO: So, you seem to be feelin' better.
MANTIS: I'm doin' great!
PO: Good, 'cause you know what? You really too good for her, I mean nobody really liked her.
MANTIS: Yeah, we actually got back together.
PO: She's lovely, nice lady. Best to you both.

18 November – 23 December, 2006
Opening Friday 17 November, 6-8pm.
Every year Peacock visual arts gives local, national and international artists the opportunity to submit artworks for the always popular Christmas exhibition. Until this year, the standard size of the works would be A5. 2006 sees a 'down-sizing' of the works to A6 – postcard size!
For those of you who are new to the project: its aim is to demonstrate the versatility and talent of local, national and international artists. The 6-week exhibition always attracts many visitors, so is a good opportunity to get your work seen.
The exhibition shows work by new talent alongside 'big names'. Amongst the artists showing their small-scale work this year are Michael Visocchi, Barbara Rae, David Bellingham, Sadie Main, Colin Kirkpatrick and David Blyth, who have been working on a series of new prints with Peacock's printmakers.
Own Art
Through 'Own Art' you can buy a work of contemporary art at Peacock visual arts, interest free. You can borrow up to £2,000 or as little as £100, and pay back the loan over ten months.
Roddy Phillips, Press & Journal, says about the show: "A fascinating and thoroughly lively show as diverse as it is witty and profound (…) Highly recommended for original Christmas presents, even if it's for yourself…"
