Post subject: Farm Stands
I'm cheap. I scrimp. I buy in bulk.
Farm stands around me sell veggies at about 20% higher than supermarkets, but I never balk at spending the extra for their produce.
As winter has finally come to New England, I start thinking about the first spinach and aspagagus that will soon be coming to the stands. My first handful of local spinach is like the signal that it is spring, it's the opening ceremony. Fresh greens. The spinach I buy from local field is nothing like the pre-washed bags at the Stop and Shop. It's sweet, tender, soft... a true treat. Later, the green beans from the farm stand are truely "snappy". The radishes, carrots are crisp. In fall, the potatos are buttery, the corn is like candy. I love going to the local stands, to pick out what is in season. They can be prepared in the most simple manner and be a treat.
If you wonder whether it's worth it to make that extra stop, to pay a bit more, I say Yes!

i really hate to be a wet-blanket, but chances are quite strong that the much of the produce at a farm stand is not "local" at all. Just more carefully selected for quality & freshness. That stand-in-a-field might be more indicative of how much rents are in empty fields are, than anything else. Try going there real early in the morning and watch where the stuff is coming in from.
There are many farmers who'd LOVE to sell their produce directly, without a middleman.... ask them how much traffic passes by in places where truck farming actually happens. And ask them how much time they have for playing retailer.
Localness is truly not important, given careful varietal selection for shelf life and proper post-harvest handling. Reference: "Refrigerated Trailer Transport of Chilled Perishable Produce", Department of Agricultural Engineering, UC-Davis.
Tell me how much produce you think is grown in Massachusetts in 2007? Don't forget to EXCLUDE all crops which were pre-sold for future delivery under contract. Yep, farmers like to have regular income!

Post subject: Good point, but
The stand I usually go to does carry veggies in the winter which are obviously not local.
But in the growing season, they mark their own produce with a tag that says "Our Own" and I believe them. The stuff is in season, and you can see people picking in the fields. They grow a lot of heritage veggies that you would never see in a supermarket, and the fields are right next to the "stand" which is actually a regular building (in Sudbury, MA which is by no means a low-rent district).
And the taste/texture is truely superior by miles.
I think what you said is true of some places, not of others, and partially true of many.

Here on Long Island, NY many local town codes often state that between 60-80% of what is sold at far stands must be locally grown, enforcing this is quite difficult though as the farmers are in charge of policing themselves. I try to patronize local stands and markets, but you really have to know who you are dealing with.

By the way, how do you get ahold of so many English-language books in Russia? Scott: Mali is slightly easier than Afghanistan, in that most people adhere to relatively liberal strains of Islam; the jihadists are mostly foreigners who were sheltered and supported by Tuareg separatists. Even if the separatists would be willing to make a deal with the same people who stabbed them in the back and grabbed control from them (and I wouldn't put it past them), if you can oust the Islamists and then bring the separatists to the table, the Islamists won't have it any easier than any other group of crazy people who tries to set up shop in the Sahara.

Unfortunate associations with totally different belief systems.

However, I cannot recall which of them detailed Alexander's naughty deeds in Afghanistan, or even if it was those books that did. Sadly, very little of the way of primary documentation, so a lot of speculation is to be found in any book about him. But, think about it - how else is a megalomaniac going to deal with unrepentant guerilla fighters? Wipe out a half dozen villages, then the next half dozen may think twice about getting restive. On a lighter note, the BBC documentary by Michael Wood is hugely enjoyable. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrTS4O25Jow Did you know that Kandahar is named after Alexander the great?

CUNY's $3 billion capital construction program is a major regional economic engine, contributing hundreds of millions of dollars a year in new construction, facilities renovation and critical maintenance projects that support the University's mission. In the past decade the University's capital program has:
- Completed more than $3.8 billion worth of new construction and renovation projects at individual campuses and;
- Spent an average of $500 million annually.
Since 2011, the CUNY capital program has completed 12 new facilities comprising nearly 1.9 million square feet, including: Hunter College's Silberman School of Social Work and its new MFA facility; John Jay College's Building Expansion; the New York Simulation Center in partnership with New York University; the new CUNY School of Law facility; Bronx Community College's North Hall and Library Building; Borough of Manhattan Community College's Fiterman Hall; Lehman College's New Science Facility; Stella and Charles Guttmann Community College building; and new childcare centers at Bronx Community College and Lehman College. Additionally, the CUNY Graduate Center apartments and the first residence hall at The College of Staten Island have opened.
In 2014, the University anticipates opening the Advanced Science Research Center complex on the City College campus and an expansion of the Leonard and Clare Tow Center for the Performing Arts at Brooklyn College.
Another major new facility is in the early stages of construction: the 350,000-square-foot Academic Building I at New York City College of Technology.
Designs for a number of major new facilities are ongoing, including: Hunter College's Science and Health Professions Building; York College's Academic Village and Conference Center; The College of Staten Island's Interdisciplinary High Performance Computational Center; the new Roosevelt Hall at Brooklyn College; and Lehman College's Nursing Education, Research and Practice Center.
Physical master plan updates have been initiated or completed for Baruch College, Brooklyn College, City College, College of Staten Island, Hostos Community College, LaGuardia Community College, Lehman College, Queens College and York College.
There is no question that New York City profits substantially from CUNY's capital program. For every $10 million spent in construction, it is estimated that 90 jobs are created. The University's construction program is generating an estimated 14,000 jobs over the lifetime of these projects.

On March 14, 11 people were laid off in the Cortez Journal office. As the Mancos Times editor, I was one of them. There were advertising assistants, reporters, graphic artists and custodians among those laid off. The management from the Durango Herald let us know, gave us information about our options and how to apply for unemployment. Our last day is March 29. I have until the March 27 issue to be the editor here and then I'll be looking for something else.
There will still be a Mancos Times. There will be a reporter presence in Mancos one or two days a week. And those of you who send stories and photos in can continue to do so. In fact, it will be even more important now than before.
If you have a photo of your student playing a sport, getting an award, graduating or doing something else that is noteworthy, please feel free to send it in. If you have a story or photo opportunity, you can call the Cortez Journal and they will try to send someone to cover it.
Because of newspapers moving to the digital age and more people reading newspapers online, revenue has decreased in newspapers everywhere.
However, it is my hope that physical papers never go away. I love to hold a paper in my hands and read it wherever I want, without having a computer in front of me. I feel the same way about books. But I know that changes happen and progress goes on.
It has been a joy and a pleasure to work as your Mancos Times editor. I have tried to keep the news local and to include everything about Mancos and the people here. In Mancos there is a lot happening almost all year, and it was difficult for me to keep up at times. I feel that I did a good job representing the community.
The email to submit information will remain the same - firstname.lastname@example.com.

'very good performance'
'massive 18x optical zoom lens'
'Fairly compact for an 18x zoom - fits in a front pocket. '
'The SZ-10 is nicely configured and slips easily into any pocket, thanks to its 38mm slimness.'

Living in a shady spot can be a pain. You�re tremendously limited in terms of what you can plant in the garden, as most plants prefer full sun or part shade at most, but you�d rather not look at an array of ferns and moss, right?
Fortunately, there are actually tons of shade-loving plants, with more cultivars coming out every year. That�s good news for you and your garden � and we�re here to talk about 10 of the most fun, eye-catching and unique shade-lovers of 2014.
Hellebore �Winter Thriller Irish Ruffles�
The name is a mouthful, and the plant is a stunner. Hellebores are a great choice for the shade garden, and this one is no exception. When it bursts into bloom in late winter, it produces electric green leaves demurely edged in red, like something out of a fantasy world. Talk about a welcome blast of color when the grim winter weather is getting you down. �Winter Thriller Irish Ruffles� withstands drought, deer, shade and part-shade with equal aplomb, and it likes zones four through eight.
Heucherella �Gold Cascade�
Need to glam up your garden? This creeping plant has scalloped leaves in stunning golden-green with red centers, and it will gleefully spread if it�s happy where it is � which would be, of course, in shade and part-shade. Gardeners in zones four through nine can enjoy this beaut, along with its delicate flowers. It�s also ideal for containers, where it can spill quite fetchingly over the sides as it grows.
Coralbells �Cinnamon Curls�
Imagine rich red foliage in low, dense clusters, with wavy edges and a saucy look. In the summer, slender stalks covered in white bell-shaped flowers emerge, nodding gently over the foliage. This cultivar is a real cutie, loves zones four through nine, and does fine in shade and partial shade.
Heuchera �Lime Ruffles�
It would appear that bright, bold, aggressive lime green is in for this year. The big showcase with �Lime Ruffles� is the foliage, which almost looks radioactive in shade or part shade. It also produces small white flowers in the fall. If you�re growing in zones four through nine, consider this gorgeous plant for bedding and splashes of bold color.
Brunnera �Alexander�s Great�
Huge silver and green leaves mound in an impressive pile, shooting out sky-blue flowers on long, elegant stalks in the spring. This plant loves rich soil that�s consistently moist, making it a good choice for a more boggy area of the garden, and it�s partially deer-resistant, music to the ears of those of us who are constantly battling four-legged marauders. Whether in full or partial shade, this plant thrives in USDA zones four through eight.
Coralbells �Black Taffeta�
I am a sucker for black or almost-black plants. This plant has rich black ruffly foliage that stays dark even in the bright summer months, with stunning contrasting pink flowers. If you want a little bold color to stand out in the shade or part shade, this lovely coralbells cultivar thrives in zones four through nine. Try growing this specimen alongside your concrete garden walkway.
Heucherella �Buttered Rum�
Bronzed foliage with dark red veining makes this low shrub stand out from the pack, with small stalks filled with tiny white flowers. In the fall, those leaves will deepen up to a nice dark red, making this plant stand out even more, whether it�s growing in full or partial shade. If you�re in zones four through nine, �Buttered Rum� can be all yours.
Hosta �Curly Fries�
Who doesn�t love curly fries? You won�t want to eat this plant, but it is pretty adorable, with its long, slender, twisting leaves. With lovely mounding foliage perfect for borders and containers, the blue flowers �Curly Fries� produces almost seem like icing on the cake. This hardy plant likes shade to part shade in zones three through nine.
Foamflower �Stephanie Cohen�
I love foamflowers, because they have the most delicate, lacy, frothy blooms, as the name implies. �Stephanie Cohen� has bright green leaves offset by stalks of pink foliage, and it enjoys both shade and part shade. It�s also drought-tolerant, and does well in containers and borders as well as on slopes. (Like, say, in a shady rock garden.) Gardeners in zones four through nine can enjoy this beauty.
Bleeding Heart �Amore Pink�
Another longtime favorite of mine, the bleeding heart is a stunner in shade gardens, with its long, sagging stalks of heart-shaped flowers that do indeed appear to be bleeding, or weeping, over something. With handsome blue-green foliage that mounds tightly and looks great in beds or borders, �Amore Pink� produces bold pink flowers that are great in bouquets and cut flower arrangements as well as on the plant. This plant is suitable for shade or part shade in zones five through nine.
Go out and get adventurous in your shade garden!

Genealogy 'Summer Camp' – Toronto, 16-21 June 2013
The 17th annual camp, organized by the
Toronto Branch, Ontario Genealogical Society
Genealogy 'Summer Camp' in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, brings out-of-town family historians to Toronto for an intensive week of tutorials and hands-on research, with the guidance of local experts, at the many archives and reference libraries in Toronto. Campers take full advantage of Toronto's great public transit system, and the group is small to allow lots of help from our local experts.
Those from out-of-town are encouraged to stay with the group – there is economical university residence accommodation.
The 2013 Genealogy 'Summer Camp' will be number 17! More than 135 participants from England, right across Canada and many US states have attended the 16 previous Summer Camps—some more than once! And there have been many local participants as 'day campers'. It is an excellent way to get acquainted (or reacquainted) with the libraries and archives in Toronto. It is also a great excuse for a week of concentrated research.
This year's Summer Camp is scheduled for June 16 to 21, 2013. The Summer Camp fee for 2013 is $240 (Canadian), which covers approximately 7 hours of lectures and tutorials, 25 hours of hands-on instruction and all worksheets and handouts.
For details as to venues, resources, tutorials and accommodation, and to download an application package, visit www.torontofamilyhistory.org/summercamp.html or contact Jane MacNamara at email@example.com Applications should be received by 16 May 2013.

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KCRA) —
Police in West Sacramento responded to reports of flooding early Tuesday morning inside a Crystal Pure Water store and nearby businesses.
The water store was filled with about three inches of water.
The flooding is being blamed on a broken water filter. Crystal Pure Water sells water filtration devices.
Firefighters were also at the scene of the flooding, which also affected other nearby business near West Capitol Avenue.
Responding crew members used pumps to clean up the mess inside the building.
Some of the water also spewed into the parking lot.
A dry cleaning business next door was also affected.

Penalty hoodoo haunts Ghana again
Burkina Faso will face Nigeria in the Cup of Nations final after a 3-2 penalty shoot-out win over Ghana on Wednesday.
Ghana went ahead on 13 minutes as Madi Panandetiguiri was ruled to have pulled down Christian Atsu as the pair challenged in the area. Wakaso did not lose concentration amid the fierce protests of the Burkina Faso defence, duly slotting a fine penalty kick low into the right corner. It was Wakaso's fourth goal of the tournament - and third from the penalty spot.
Asamoah Gyan should have made it 2-0 on 58 minutes when he tried to steer home Atsu's cross on the run but his effort came back off the right-hand post. Gyan's miss looked costly two minutes later as Burkina Faso levelled. Agyemang-Badu was robbed of possession in midfield and the ball was fed to Bance, who found a huge gap between the centre-backs and had time to pick his spot.
The last chance for either team in normal time came on 84 minutes when Atsu fired in an effort from the edge of the area but Daouda Diakite got down to save.
In extra time, the Burkinabe spurned a chance in the 99th minute when Kone headed over the bar from Kabore's corner while unmarked six yards out. Gyan flashed a header wide in the 119th minute as Ghana's final chance went away.
But it was Burkina Faso who finished on the front foot, Bance's turn and shot deflected over the bar in the last meaningful attack as the lottery of penalties was required to settle a breathless encounter. However they were hit by a late set-back as star midfielder Jonathan Pitroipa was sent off for a second yellow card.
In the shoot-out, Isaac Vorsah set the tone for Ghana with a terrible miss from 12 yards, the ball bobbling wide to the delight of the Burkina Faso faithful.
Another poor effort by Emmanuel Clottey put Ghana in even more trouble, and with Burkina Faso netting through Bakary Kone, Henri Traore and Bance, the shoot-out was settled when Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu's effort was saved by Diakite.

Brewer Science, Inc. is getting larger while continuing to make electronic devices smaller.
Brewer Science, Inc. is getting larger while continuing to make electronic devices smaller.
On Jan. 24, the company announced plans to build a new high-volume manufacturing facility at the Rolla National Airport at Vichy, about 12 miles from its headquarters in the Hy Point Industrial Park in Rolla.
The new estimated 25,000-square-foot facility will produce materials for manufacturing next-generation smartphones, tablet computers and other microelectronic devices.
"Brewer Science is excited to be growing and expanding Missouri's manufacturing footprint as well as its technology footprint," said Dr. Terry Brewer, founder and president of Brewer Science. "The expansion demonstrates our commitment to our customers by providing additional capacity and capabilities to support the complex product needs of the industry.
"Brewer Science technology is a part of products such as smartphones, tablet computers, cameras, games and many other electronic devices," Brewer said. "The new facility will provide the company with multiple manufacturing locations in Missouri and will bring additional jobs to the state."
As part of the expansion, Brewer expects to add 65 new jobs over the next five years, including warehouse, manufacturing and technology jobs.
Doyle Edwards, director of government business development for Brewer, called the additional jobs "considerable growth" from its current employment numbers.
Alberici Constructors will construct the new building, said Michael K. Mathews, the company's director of global plant operations.
Final "tweaks" are being made to the design of the building and construction on the facility could begin in the spring, Mathews said. According to a tentative schedule, significant completion of the facility could be done by the end of the year. By early 2014, the facility is expected to be complete.
"This will be a state-of-the-art facility and truly advanced," Edwards said.
Edwards noted that Terry Brewer wants to continue his commitment to the environment with this new facility.
Utilizing Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) guidelines, the new facility will be powered using geo-thermal energy.
Designed to be energy-efficient and environmentallysensitive, with attention to state-of-the-art safety specifications, the building will have the infrastructure to manufacture high-volume products that meet or exceed International Organization for Standardization (ISO) requirements.
Mathews said over the past several years, the company's operations have become more environmentally-friendly as Brewer has reduced its water and electricity usage as well as its waste.
Location, Location, Location
The site at the airport was chosen for business continuity reasons, Mathews explained, noting that company officials did not want, for instance, a natural disaster to affect operations at both facilities.
Edwards added that capacity and customer demand were other factors that led to the decision to expand.
Mathews said Brewer company officials considered locating a new facility out of the area and outside the state but noted that offers from the Rolla Regional Economic Commission (RREC) and the City of Rolla allowed the company to stay in the area.
Rolla City Administrator John Butz said a competitive grant application was made to the Economic Development Administration (EDA) to help fund the infrastructure improvements at the airport, which will include a new water tower and updated water and sewer lines.
While the grant has not been awarded yet, a letter dated Oct. 31, 2012, from the EDA to the city stated that the application has been selected for further consideration of funding, but does not guarantee final approval for the EDA to make the award. Butz said the grant, if approved, could total about $1,044,248.
Because the city refinanced some leases last year, it has about $600,000 for the water tower and the Rolla Community Development Corporation (RCDC) has agreed to lend the city funds to purchase materials to replace the water and sewer lines if the grant isn't awarded. City crews would be used to perform the line work.
The grant, Butz said, would allow Rolla to expand the infrastructure being installed at the airport to a point that would allow more businesses to develop there. Butz said the EDA is a critical part to growth at the airport.
Brewer officials say they greatly appreciate the team effort put forth by the City of Rolla and the Rolla City Council, the RREC, the RCDC as well as the involvement of Intercounty Electric Cooperative and the Maries County Commission, all of which helped make this expansion possible.
RREC Executive Director Cyndra Lorey said Brewer's new facility will be consistant with the Rolla brand. "It (Brewer Science) represents who we are and who we want to be," she said.
Lorey said she hopes Brewer's new facility will increase the interest of other businesses to consider the airport for growth and development.
Brewer also is consistent with the emerging Interstate 44 technology corridor in Missouri, spanning across the state from St. Louis to Joplin, Lorey said.
Brewer's new facility at the airport is the company's second expansion in two years. It previously acquired a 23,000-square-foot facility.
Brewer Science specializes in technology that has made electronic devices smaller, thinner, lighter and more powerful and has been designing and manufacturing new technology products since 1981.

Has anyone used a pendulum for dowsing for ghosts or seeking yes or no answers for daily situations?
I recently became somewhat curious with a couple I have. The brass one I purchased seems happy to be used, while the quartz crystal one I made doesn't seem quite as responsive.
I've gone thru the typical yes or no questions seeking correct responses to obvious yes or no questions. While I had thought on a couple occasions, that I was having yes or no communication with my deceased dad, others were quick to add that I am only recieving these answers from my higher self.

It was the first time I ever got a straight answer out of my cards when I was asking about myself... apart from one bit I didn't understand- but hmmmm. It was very good for me to centre
The point which I should first wish to understand is whether the pious or holy is beloved by the gods because it is holy, or holy because it is beloved of the gods.Sonnet XCIVBut if that flower with base infection meet,The basest weed outbraves his dignity:For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds;Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds

I find myself wanting to become more open, and this will slow my process. Spirit will only allow you to gain what they feel you can handle at that time.
When I do my prayer work, or before meditation, I have this prayer I've made, and one of the prayers is to see spirit. I'm starting to see more now, especially in my own home. I recently saw a male with a gray/black fidora walk out of my dining room. Yesterday a shadow walked across my back living room wall, just before my friends daughter walked thru in that area. Kind of freaky. but cool none the less.

Introduced in 2009, the Hyundai Elantra Touring is a compact but spacious four-door hatchback. The vehicle was initially based on the European edition of the Elantra compact sedan. The Touring model features a longer wheelbase and different styling than the European edition, but still manages to maintain its influence. When the Elantra Touring model was first introduced, it was only available in one trim level. However, in 2010, Hyundai introduced the base model GLS and the upmarket SE trim levels.
A compact hatchback that resembles a wagon, the Hyundai Elantra Touring is known for its formidable cargo space and the sporty driving experience it provides. Another key feature that sets the Elantra Touring model apart is its cabin, designed in Hyundai's European studio. However, while the interior is roomy, the materials utilized in its fabrication are reported to be of lower quality than what one would find in many similar vehicles. Despite its compact design, the Elantra Touring can comfortably accommodate four adult passengers while still maintaining enough space for luggage and other cargo. The Elantra Touring model is generally regarded as a versatile vehicle that offers good utility. Among its various other attributes are a generous array of standard features and an extended warranty. The Elantra Touring model is a good car if you're looking for a versatile vehicle that offers utility along with performance. Compared to other small hatchbacks, the Elantra Touring also provides an enormous amount of passenger and cargo space.
The 2012 Hyundai Elantra Touring is a four-door hatchback that's available in two trim levels: GLS and SE. The base model GLS version rides on 15-inch steel wheels and boasts features that include heated outside mirrors, power accessories, keyless entry, air conditioning, tilt-only steering wheel, cloth upholstery, 60/40 split-folding rear seats, and an audio system that's equipped with six speakers, a CD player, an auxiliary audio jack, satellite radio, and an iPod/USB interface. The GLS model offers the option of a Preferred package that contains 16-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, cruise control, driver's seat height and lumbar adjustment, improved upholstery, tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel with audio controls mounted on it, and a trip computer. The more upmarket SE trim level is equipped with all the features that come in the Preferred package while also boasting 17-inch alloy wheels, foglamps, a sunroof, leather upholstery, a leather-bound steering wheel, and front seat heating.
Both versions of the 2012 Hyundai Elantra Touring come equipped with a 2.0-liter inline-four engine that's rated at 138 horsepower and outputs 136 lb-ft of torque. The engine is matched with a standard five-speed manual transmission; however, there is also an option to choose a four-speed automatic. The Elantra Touring model does respectably well in terms of fuel efficiency. The manual version is EPA is estimated at 23/31 mpg city/highway, while the automatic transmission model earns an estimate of 23/30 mpg city/highway.
Standard safety features on all versions of the 2012 Hyundai Elantra Touring model include antilock disc brakes, front-seat side airbags, traction and stability control, active front head restraints, and side curtain airbags.
The car's interior is functional if not exactly stylish. The dashboard contains simple gauges and easy to operate controls. However, for a Touring model based on a European edition, the Elantra Touring's interior was criticized for being rather underwhelming. While it may not offer style and sophistication, what the Elantra Touring does offer inside is space and plenty of it. Both the front and rear seats offer ample head, leg, and knee room. There is also plenty of cargo space. With the rear seats up, the Elantra Touring offers 24 cubic feet, while folding them down yields an impressive 65 cubic feet. This is in the same neighborhood as the cargo space provided by many small crossover SUVs.
Reviews indicate that the 2012 Hyundai Elantra Touring offers good drivability with a surprising amount of power for a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that's only rated at 138-hp. The Elantra Touring is capable of going from zero to 60 in just under nine seconds. While the engine can be heard to strain under high revs, the Hyundai Elantra Touring boasts a finely tuned suspension, which helps facilitate good handling. Ride quality is reported to be smooth and stable while cabin noise is minimal.
Despite being fairly well-equipped, the introductory 2009 version of the Hyundai Elantra Touring was available in only a single trim level. Versions from 2010 and 2011 both offered drivers the choice of either the GLS or SE trim levels. Apart from the introduction of new trim levels and a few other minor alterations, the Hyundai Elantra Touring model has changed little over the years since it was first introduced.

The 2012 Hyundai Elantra Touring is largely unchanged. Volcanic Red and Dove White join the color palette.

Hyundai might just be slightly ahead of the curve with its development of the sleek, fun-to-drive, yet very functional five-door 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring.

Mona Lisa's Revenge was the fifth serial of series 3 of The Sarah Jane Adventures. It was written by Phil Ford, directed by Joss Agnew and featured Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith, Tommy Knight as Luke Smith, Daniel Anthony as Clyde Langer, Anjli Mohindra as Rani Chandra, Alexander Armstrong as Mr Smith and John Leeson as K9.
As the title suggests, it revealed that Leonardo da Vinci's most famous painting, The Mona Lisa, was a hostile entity. Furthermore, Clyde Langer's exemplary art skills, which Luke Smith had noticed in The Mark of the Berserker, became a central point of this story, as did Clyde's experiences with alien life having influences on what he drew, and the subject of art in general.
Synopsis Edit
Strange forces bring the Mona Lisa, on exhibit at an art gallery in London, to life. Clyde, Rani and Luke are at the gallery on a school trip as the Mona Lisa rampages with a Sontaran blaster, taken from another painting. Sarah comes to the rescue, but ends up trapped in a painting. It's all down to Clyde, Rani and Luke to save the day as the Mona Lisa searches for her brother, the Abomination, hidden in another place in the art gallery.
Plot Edit
Part 1 Edit
In art class, Luke and Clyde discuss his drawing abilities when Mr Chandra enters to tell Clyde that his painting has won first prize in a competition to see the Mona Lisa at the International Gallery. Although pleased, Clyde does not recall submitting his work to a competition. Luke had secretly entered it himself.
At the gallery, Lionel Harding and Phyllis Trupp examine newly arrived painting from Paris. Despite her clearly having feelings for him, Lionel ignores Trupp's attempts at a kiss and the two leave moments before the Mona Lisa's hand reaches out.
Luke rushes home to tell Sarah about the competition. She interrupts him over the state of his bedroom. Luke snaps and accuses her of wanting him to be perfect, the way the Bane had created him. The next day, after arriving at the gallery, Luke confides his troubles to Clyde and Rani before being led away by Phyllis. After they notice a Chinese Puzzle Box, Lionel arrives to show Clyde his winning painting. Meanwhile, Phyllis reveals her feelings whilst looking at the Mona Lisa, who reaches out to grab her.
Clyde's painting, showing three women holding Sontaran blaster guns, is shown to the class, who applaud his work. Despite feeling slightly embarrassed, Clyde says that he takes comfort in drawing and asks Luke not to tell Sarah that he drew K9. Lionel takes the class to see the Mona Lisa, but is shocked to find Phyllis in the portrait and calls security. Mr Chandra ushers the class out of the gallery, but Luke, Clyde and Rani sneak away to investigate.
Meanwhile, Mr Smith informs Sarah of the incident at the gallery to distract her from worrying about Luke. She decides to investigate despite a lack of alien activity. After revisiting Clyde's painting, Rani notices one of the Sontaran guns is missing. Moments after Lionel arrives, the Mona Lisa appears and holds the missing gun on them. She opens fire on the group before cooperating with Lionel.
Sarah arrives at the gallery, having spoken with Haresh. She notices two different alien energies in the gallery. Meanwhile, Luke is adamant in his resolve not to seek Sarah's help and the three discover the police and gallery staff trapped inside various paintings. Mona Lisa remembers Lionel from his previous visits to the Louvre. She tells him to help find her "brother", a painting done at the same time and place. It is in the gallery.
As they try to escape, Luke notices Sarah's car outside. Meanwhile, Sarah enters the chamber where Phyllis is held, where she is discovered when Lionel and the Mona Lisa arrive. The Mona Lisa tells Sarah not to interfere, referencing Luke's earlier conversations, and imprisons her in a painting. Luke, Clyde and Rani arrive too late to save her after they hear her screaming.
Part 2 Edit
Luke, Rani and Clyde beg the Mona Lisa to release Sarah from the painting. When she refuses, Luke pushes her over and escapes with Sarah's painting. Rather than chase after them, the Mona Lisa brings the Dark Rider from his painting to eliminate them. The three youngsters avoid his shots, while Lionel and the Mona Lisa proceed through the gallery to locate her "brother", The Abomination, whose groans and grunts echo through the building. Mona Lisa pauses on her quest when she catches sight of a window. She asks to step outside. Lionel opens the window for her, but she panics when her outstretched arm returns to its painted self. The two enter an unfinished room in the gallery, where Clyde walks in on them. He tries to hide, but is captured by the Dark Rider after overhearing their plans to release The Abomination.
Luke and Rani try to figure out why the Mona Lisa is alive. Clyde is forced to accompany Mona Lisa and Lionel as they try to find the hidden painting in the basement. Luke and Rani realise the paint used to create both paintings came from a sentient rock that fell to Earth. Meanwhile, the Mona Lisa, Lionel, Clyde and the Dark Rider discover the caged Abomination painting in a locked cabinet. However, the puzzle lock is missing. Luke realises the Chinese Puzzle Box is needed to release The Abomination. He is confronted by the Mona Lisa and Lionel. The Mona Lisa tells them she has Clyde in her possession. Upon receiving the box from Luke, Lionel smashes the box. Before she can shoot Lionel, Luke tells her of another way to release The Abomination.
Mona Lisa takes Luke and Rani to Clyde, whom Luke tells to draw a new Chinese Puzzle Box. Despite his and Rani's concerns, Clyde draws a new one. The Mona Lisa animates the box and uses it to open the cabinet holding The Abomination. As the door opens and the energy is released, Luke opens the sketchpad to the drawing of K9, allowing it to animate. The drawn K9 zaps The Abomination, which prevents it from escaping, sending the Mona Lisa and the Dark Rider back into their paintings forever. Clyde is left puzzled when he looks round for K9 and discovers he has vanished. Everyone who was imprisoned in the paintings is now released, and Luke and Sarah are reunited, as well as Lionel and Phyllis. Despite his apologies and eagerness to start a relationship, Phyllis angrily leaves Lionel in the chamber while Sarah and the group reflect on the day's events. Sarah almost feels sorry that Mona Lisa is a consciousness trapped in a painting, though being trapped in a painting has soured her opinion of the woman. She praises Luke for being her clever, resourceful, and dependable son, who notes he is also messy and promises to clean his room when they get home. In the meantime, Sarah thinks she needs to have a chat with Clyde about featuring Sontaran blasters in his artwork. He looks at her discouragingly until she puts her arm around him, letting him know she's just teasing, and the group smiles.

Dan Watts credited for music in Part 1 only. K9's creator credit only in Part 2.
References Edit
Species Edit
Individuals Edit
- Frequent references are made to Leonardo da Vinci.
- Mona Lisa insults the model of the painting.
- Giuseppe di Cattivo, William Bonneville and Hieronymus Bosch are famous painters.
- Galaxia is one of the superheroes painted by Clyde.
- Luca Pacioli wrote the book De Divina Proportione.
- Jonathan is a pupil at Park Vale Comprehensive School. Mrs Taylor is the art teacher at the same school.
Locations Edit
- Harding often visited the Mona Lisa at the Louvre.
- The International Gallery is located in London.
Relics Edit
- The heist of the Cup of Athelstan is mentioned by Harding.
- A Chinese Puzzle designed by Giuseppe di Cattivo is on display in the gallery. It was supposedly inspired by Luca Pacioli.
Real world Edit
- The Dark Rider cannot speak because he has no mouth, but a mask painted on, rendering him mute. Because of this, Clyde calls the highwayman "Silent Bob." Silent Bob is the titular highly reserved in speech character from the comic Clerks alongside his more vocal friend Jay, though he is not mute; rather he speaks when he has something profound to say.
- When Luke gives Clyde's drawing of the puzzle box to the Mona Lisa, Clyde tells him, "I don't know right what you're doing, my Padawan, but you've gone right over to the Dark Side." This is a reference to Star Wars.
- Clyde tells Rani that every shady thing that happens isn't always because of an alien. He says his bike was not stolen by "E.T. the ASBO." E.T. is the titular alien from Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and ASBO is an acronym for Anti-Social Behaviour Order.
- When Rani criticises Clyde's troubles with reading a map, Clyde defends himself by saying he was once in the "Cubs", referring to the Cub Scouts, a younger division of Scouting which sometimes precedes entrance into the Boy Scouts, an organisation founded by Lord Baden Powell that acts to instil young boys with skills useful in life and the wilderness, such as reading maps and orienteering. Clyde also mentions he got himself kicked out.
- Clyde refers to Star Trek.
Other Edit
- Peapod-soulmates.com is a dating website.
- 11T is Rani Chandra's, Clyde Langer's and Luke Smith's class.
Story notes Edit
- Though John Leeson is credited as the voice of K9, the real K9 does not make an appearance in this episode. Instead, a sketch Clyde made of him is briefly brought to life and returned to drawing form near the end of part two.
- Similar to the above, Mr Smith does not appear in part two at all, but Alexander Armstrong was still credited, likely because the "previously" segment features scenes where Mr Smith was heard speaking.
- The Mona Lisa painting also featured prominently in the 1979 Doctor Who story City of Death. There are two possible deliberate references to the earlier story in this one. Firstly, in the opening scene of Part One, there are paintings labelled Face of Time on the classroom walls. In Part One of City of Death, an artist drew Romana II's face as a clock. A Chinese puzzle box also appears in both stories.
- Writer Brian Dooley was originally tasked with writing the script for this story. He came up with the basic premise of artwork coming to life. However, his script was revised to the point that only Phil Ford was credited onscreen.[1]
Ratings Edit
- Part 1: 1.12 million
- Part 2: 0.92 million
Filming locations Edit
- The Mona Lisa chamber at the International Gallery is a redress of the Temple of Peace Hall (Platform One meeting room set from TV: The End of the World).
Production errors Edit
- In the vault, after everything has been reversed, Rani says, "And that's the last of her". As she says, "I hope", a boom microphone can be seen at the top of the shot. This appears to have been corrected on the DVD release, with the microphone having apparently been digitally erased.
- The Mona Lisa stole the blaster from Clyde's painting, but if you look at his painting in part one, as she tells Lionel that he can touch her, the blaster is clearly seen to be still there.
Continuity Edit
- The Mona Lisa painting (and several copies thereof) was central to a plot by Scaroth to change the fate of his race, the Jagaroth. The Doctor, in his fourth incarnation, foiled the plan. (TV: City of Death)
- Harding refers to the Cup of Athelstan being stolen from the International Gallery by Lady Christina de Souza at Easter in 2009. (TV: Planet of the Dead).
- The Tenth Doctor also encountered paintings coming to life. (TV: Fear Her)
- The Bane are mentioned. (TV: Invasion of the Bane, Enemy of the Bane)
- Odd Bob the Clown and the meteor that brought him to Earth are mentioned. (TV: The Day of the Clown)
- The statue at the bottom of the stairs of the International Gallery appears to be the same one as the statue seen in the Musée d'Orsey where Amy and the Doctor went to a Vincent Van Gogh exhibit. (TV: Vincent and the Doctor)
- Luke discovered Clyde's superior art skills when he stayed over at the Langer household while Sarah went undercover to catch a runaway Travast Polong. (TV: The Mark of the Berserker)
- Haresh mentions ASBO-like behaviour coming from his students. The Tenth Doctor previously said that he expected to see "happy-slapping hoodies and ASBOs" while posing as a teacher at Deffry Vale High School. (TV: School Reunion)
- Clyde remembers the design of a Sontaran blaster from his altercations with Sontaran Commander Kaagh, who often and actively wielded one. (TV: The Last Sontaran, Enemy of the Bane)
- The Twelfth Doctor would later encounter 2-D beings manifesting in 3-D. (TV: Flatline)

Footnotes Edit


text: Perhaps changed most of all out of all of the packs is this place. It was stripped out of its forested home and now instead lays at the edge of an ocean. The vast sparkling eternity of the water lays to the south of the land, while the rest of the land is made of rocky outjuttings. Gone are the trees, and all that remains for greenery are the short shrubs that dot the paths in the rock, and the moss that grows thanks to the spray of the waves. Further toward the shore, barnacles are a plenty, and look to cut the pads of those who slip on the wet surface. These extend out into the water itself, and the tough land has multiple caverns scraped into it, providing ample dens for the wolves that live there. Depending on the tide, however, the lower caverns may flood, and the vicious swirling water may prove to be dangerous as there is a strong undertide ready to pull unsuspecting swimmers to their doom. Even the tide itself is powerful enough to push intruders against one cliff or another. The ocean does provide, however, plenty of food for those who brave the waters - there are many breeds of seals and sea lions, though the males that protect each of these are vicious and territorial. There are also turtles that come ashore to breed and to lay their eggs - both the adults and the eggs themselves can provide sustenance to the wolves. But they must take care - the water is deep enough to allow sharks to come to shore from the depths below. Those unwilling to venture the waves or wet their paws with the moist sand of the shore can find snakes and hares in the rocky outcroppings, but they must beware the Komodo dragon and other monitor lizards that perch upon the shore - they are swift and move in groups, not to mention they carry venom in their bite that causes immense pain, paralysis, and prevents blood clotting. This is not the land for the weak of heart or the weak at all really. This is Uyaraut - �The Diamond in the Rough�.

As the human trafficking problem in Northern Ireland increases, Democratic Unionist Lord Morrow has introduced a bill to make paying for sex illegal, closing a loophole that makes trafficking difficult to prosecute, the Press Association reported Tuesday.
Pimping and brothels are illegal in the United Kingdom, but voluntarily providing sex in exchange for money is allowed by law.
"Now it is very difficult to differentiate between a person who is coerced and a person who is a willing participant," Morrow said, "so therefore what we are saying is if a person purchases sex then they are the offender."
Morrow called the human trafficking trade in Northern Ireland "escalating," according to the Press Association, saying that police rescued 27 victims of trafficking in 2011 compared to 11 between 2008 and 2009.
The success of the Private Member's Bill, which is currently up for public consultation, is by no means certain, as neither is bipartisan support for the measure, according to the Press Association.
Advocates for a similar measure in the Republic of Ireland said that barring the exchange of money for sex over the entire island would be more effective than allowing different standards to persist on either side of the border.
"Criminals and in particular those behind the sex trade ignore borders and do not see them as obstacles," Denise Charlton, head of the Immigrant Council of Ireland, told the Press Association. The Council's Turn Off the Red Light Campaign advocates to make paying for sex illegal in the Republic of Ireland.

Consumers in the United Kingdom can finally check out Microsoft's Surface tablet live and in person.
The RT-based tablet can now be found on the shelves of John Lewis, a well-known department store in the U.K., according to WPCentral.
Surface has been available at Microsoft Store outlets in the U.S., and just last week reached Staples and Best Buy. The tablet has also been available online through Microsoft in the U.S., the U.K., Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, and Hong Kong.
Today's debut at John Lewis marks Surface's first time in a non-U.S. retail store. The store is selling the 32GB edition for 479 pounds ($776) and the 64GB version for 559 pounds ($905). Both models automatically include the Touch Cover rather than offering it as a separate option.
Surface seems to be in good hands at John Lewis, according to WP Central, which calls the retailer a "well-trusted" U.K. department store with knowledgeable staff and a good selection of products.
Microsoft hasn't shed any light on Surface sales since mid-November when CEO Steve Ballmer said they were off to a modest start.
Online sales can only go so far with a new device like Surface. People in the U.S. can try out the tablet for themselves at a Microsoft Store, Best Buy, or Staples. But consumers in Europe will need more outlets where they can see and work with Surface if Microsoft expects to generate healthy sales abroad.

Maine is easily one of the most beautiful states in the country, and its abundance of untouched and gorgeous woodlands is one of the biggest reasons why tourists flock here. The downside of having heavily-wooded areas filled with wildlife surrounding us is that they are densely populated with ticks, and each year it is becoming harder to avoid coming into contact with them.
With so much available land across the state, many homes in Maine are built in previously uninhabited areas of the wilderness that have long been dominated by ticks. The privacy of a home nestled in the woods is a wonderful luxury, but getting rid of ticks in these locations is very difficult. The statewide population of deer ticks has skyrocketed over the past decade and because it is expected to further continue its growth and expansion in years to come, professional pest control companies have been bombarded by homeowners looking for the most effective means of eradicating ticks.
If you live in an area surrounded by wilderness, chances are that at some point you will have a tick infestation on your hands. Rather than staying indoors or trying to tackle the problem yourself, hire experts who are able to rapidly reduce the tick population on your land and give you advice on steps you can take for future tick prevention. Lucas Residential offers complete tick control programs tailored to your specific needs, and their state-licensed pesticide applicators are experts at addressing the issue without causing further problems to the ecosystem of your landscape. If you have a tick infestation, getting professional help is the wisest investment that you can make.
