Matt Sheret put me on to this: original soundtrack for a series of short films called 'The Makers of Things' by director Anne Holiday. Very pleasant.

You couldn't just click back to the previous day's strip in my young day, you know. Also we had to fight giant lions for access to food and television. And we only had three tv channels.

I have some autoposts running here, but, for the most part, I'm off in my head for the next couple of days. Emails, texts and D tweets will get me with the usual speed, but I'm mostly away from the public internets to get some thinking done. Image above from my friend Ellen Rogers' archive.

As I'm sure we all know by now, I prefer these posts to fire while everyone's asleep…!
Some of these are recently added and being tested. If the OPML-to-HTML thinger worked as advertised, all these links should be good for both subscribing and finding the originating websites.
I could really use more ambient/drone music podcasts, and some suggestions in the parapolitical/fringe/weird realm. Also good history podcasts. I'm @warrenellis on Twitter.
But this is what I'm listening to right now. Perhaps you'll find something of interest in there.

Forgive me for not using the correct symbols – they always get munged somewhere between Windows Live Writer and WordPress.
This is catch-up reading. I've read a few shorter pieces by Zizek in the past that I never found completely compelling – he has, in general, passed me by, and I never really got the adulation. So I bought a couple of his books, deciding that I really needed to give him a go in longform. I got a chapter in and then realised I'd already highlighted a dozen phrases and passages, as well as having seen him wander down a somewhat decadent and relativised cul-de-sac and given me the finger. I kind of get him more now, and the book is remarkably hard to put down. He's all over the place, but he's hugely entertaining and his writing is delightfully pyrotechnic. I'm having fun with it. |

…this would be that revolutionary self-organised distribution process I'd been reading about. I'm geolocked on all services: even using my Amazon.com account fails. This would also explain why I saw more than a dozen different streams of the film on movie2K the other week, when I searched for curiosity. (I was going to double-check that today, but my ISP has now blocked movie2K and I can't be bothered to run a VPN.)
This is apparently down to Carruth selling the UK distrib rights to a company who doesn't intend to do a UK cinema release until autumn and presumably doesn't want DVD or download to dilute cinema takings. They must be expecting to absolutely mint coins out of the twenty screens they'll squeeze the film on to here.
So it seems I might get to buy a download in October. Which I find kind of amusing: when I was a kid, I would read about films in American comics and magazines fully four-to-six months before they made it over the ocean to Britain. And, in those days, of course, films would open in London first and make their way to the regions over a period of weeks. Warm memories of seeing a tv ad for a film playing in London and working out how long it'd take to reach the Southend cinemas (the old Rayleigh Regal was gone by then).
Well done to Shane Carruth and his distribution partners for allowing me once again to experience the film distribution methods of the 1970s.

Fraction kicked this interview with Mitch Hurwitz over to me last night, in which he discusses the series of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT he's done at Netflix. As with Netflix' previous two original offerings, all fifteen episodes of the series will be released for streaming simultaneously. Also, he knew he was getting all fifteen episodes up front.
And he gets into some interesting stuff about how that environment allowed him to structure the show in ways that were new for him:
Anyway, I started sketching it out, and I had this funny idea for Maeby. It doesn't quite fit into the master family story, but it's funny for Maeby, and I do have this funny bit for Tobias where he writes pop songs. He's written a song called "I Kissed a Boy." I just had all these crazy notions, and suddenly I was overwhelmed by the task of squeezing all these unrelated stories into a movie that has a central plot.
Then I had this idea. "Well, what if there's an anthology show?" I've been in TV for a long time, and one of the ideas that gets pitched a lot is the idea of an anthology show. Those really worked in the Fifties and Sixties with shows like The Twilight Zone, Route 66 and Alfred Hitchcock. It's a different thing every week.
So I thought, "I might have an opportunity now because of what may or may not be an abiding interest in these characters. I could do an anthology series, like Maeby, episode 3 or George Michael, episode 5." I just loved this idea.
I was working on simultaneous storytelling – "This is what happens from 2006 to 2013." The characters are going to bump into each other. You gotta know that George Senior is going to run into Michael. You can't just have George Senior doing his thing.
We ended up with an eight-hour movie of Arrested Development where the pieces do kind of come together. Not only was the show told out of sequence, it was shot out of sequence.
And, whether it's occurred to him or not, he's talking about big interleaved novelistic structure. Which, it seems to me, is entirely perfect for a release system where one can (if one's blowing off work for the day) watch the whole damn thing in a single sitting.

From a recent story about Google Fiber entitled "Good news for Google Fiber: Broadcast TV audiences are cratering faster than ever":
Google Fiber and its ilk may be the final straw that will break the back of broadcast television. Once high-speed video downloading becomes widely available, instant access to VOD services will make them even more appealing…
…What makes this possible is the complete paralysis of the broadcast dinos. All the majors are frozen in terror, repeating old behavioral patterns that turned self-destructive years ago. NBC spent the annual defense budget of Mauritius to promote "Ready for Love," a tired Bachelor clone. ABC is going to build its autumn slate on "Scandal", "Revenge" and "Betrayal," as well as a hasty spin-off of its fading "Once Upon a Time" franchise. ABC also handed Robin Williams a comeback vehicle. Sensing desperation, audiences are tuning out in disgust.
Not untrue, so far as it goes. And, without figures to hand so yeah pinch of salt, but I think the US network tv "hits" of last season, like REVOLUTION, would have been woeful cancellation fodder even four years ago. I don't know that the hit on Robin Williams is especially called for: the man's a giant, but I haven't seen the pilot of the show in question and I haven't completely forgiven him for PATCH ADAMS.
I'm kind of curious as to how it apparently took Google Fiber, in this writer's estimation, to make Netflix irresistible. In the office here at home, I've got about 20 mbps down and Netflix fairly rips along. Perhaps we're talking about a higher resolution stream or something.
I think it's worth admitting, now, that "television" has become one of those legacy words, like "phone," that we use to point at a thing, without really fully describing it. What do you mean, now, when you say "television"? HOUSE OF CARDS and HEMLOCK GROVE? HAUNTING MELISSA on the iPad? Serialised (periodical) narrative? Shot for a small screen? Maybe. It certainly doesn't mean what it used to.
(And, obviously, I'm only talking about scripted tv there. You could make an argument that "pure" television is presentational, or "reality," or documentary.)
The term is becoming protean. The scheduling of television has quickly become meaningless, and it's hard to describe to kids of a certain culture how there was once a time when you had to watch tv shows when they were broadcast, in realtime, because you might never see them again. Time was, the BBC wiped their own tapes. Now a significant number of people watch most of their selected BBC output in a timeshifted manner through the iPlayer.
When Amazon start commissioning drama series to follow their comedy and kid's slates, television is going to take a new turn. Not only are Amazon in a position to take chances, but they have possibly the best analysis in the world of what people watch and will pay money for. Just crunch down that DVD-box-set data by year and genre. Amazon could actually own genre drama television within eighteen months if they chose to, either by Nate-Silvering those numbers or simply by creating five times as many productive relationships with important creators than anyone else can.
Cable, both basic and premium, have gotten their whacks in, but the full-on "disruption" of American tv by deep-pocketed internet business is going to be really interesting, not least for what disrupts them.
Developing/not fully baked.

APPIC resources assist students seeking quality internship and postdoctoral training. The APPIC Match assists psychology training programs to find the highest quality applicants. The APPIC Website gives students access to: the APPIC Match, the National Matching Services, the APPIC Directory On Line and the online APPIC Application for Psychnology Internship (AAPI). Welcome to the APPIC Website!
Appic is planning for a new application process for new and continuing membership. Programs will upload their materials online and be able to track the progress of their submission. Programs are carefully reviewed by the New Member and Continuing Member Review Committees. The new process is expected to be piloted in the fall of 2013 with everyone using it in 2014.
The APPIC Directory on Line (DoL) is under revision. A new DoL is expected in June. Please be sure your information is updated and dues are paid. Information will be transferred but it is likely some information (and new information) will need to be added by each program. It is expected the new DoL will be better and allow searches to be saved. The new DoL will be directly connected to APPIC member information. Unaccredited programs will be reviewed on a continuing basis. APPIC is hopeful all programs will seriously consider moving towards accreditation. Grants are available. We are planning for minimal disruptions But......
Academic programs that offer doctoral degrees in psychology may become APPIC Doctoral Program Associates (DPA). The fees paid by DPAs provides substantial benefits to the academic program and its students. DPA programs can pay their fees by calling Central Office or log on to their Directory Page and pay by credit card or invoice (www.appic.org/dpa). Soon all programs that send students to the match MUST be DPA affiliates of APPIC.

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Quarterback imagine calling your doctor's office you get this message.
Hello you've reached the doctors -- I'm sorry the doctor can't see today he's on strike.
The and once obamacare kicks in that could soon be your reality.
Many in the medical community are finding it will be harder to continue offering the same quality of care so could doctors be driven to unionize let's get reaction.
Senator John -- chairman of the Republican policy committee he's also an orthopedic surgeon he's not on strike yet though -- wanted to doctor.
Good morning.
Okay yes so but with the Affordable Care Act it's facing doctors to work.
In in large part they're not going off on their own so much -- working for large doctor groups and other organizations which means is that essentially -- service personnel.
Which could lead the unionization.
Do you believe that could be a possibility.
Well I think we're gonna see more and more that in some states more than others and other looking that way in Connecticut.
Beautiful but what you're seeing is a more and more doctors are actually having their practices bought up by hospitals.
And amazingly.
The government decides to pay different prices whether the same thing is done in a doctor's office -- done in a hospital they pay a lot more.
You know hospitals -- so hospitals are asking doctors to come join them but it's gonna be almost like.
You know bigger and bigger medicine and and and less and less of the individual patient centered care that people want this health care laws you know is driving up costs and I believe is driving down.
Quality and also available care.
Sure so one day doctors could unionized I want you to a doctor weigh in on the front page story on the Wall Street Journal about how apparently.
A number of unions want out of Obama -- hit it wasn't supposed to happen that way.
No these are the unions that actually lobbied for and supported the president's health care law.
As one union members said -- that I saw the president's if you like your plan you can keep it down finding out that I can't.
You know the -- president promised.
Insurance premiums would drop by about 2500 dollars a family in that first in.
By the end of his first term that hasn't happened prices have skyrocketed and now unions are saying hey we can't afford.
Health insurance coverage for our for these employees these members under the president's health care law because the president's health care law essentially has made it worse.
-- man.
Meanwhile let's talk a little bit about a big story got -- Washington federal appeals court.
Said that the Obama administration broke the law when they tried to -- make some recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board.
-- -- what was -- a recess they said did you you can't do that they you've come up with a bill.
That's going to -- -- some of the damage they've done right.
Well -- yes this National Labor Relations Board these recess appointments the illegal unconstitutional.
Recess appointments.
Had been made over a year ago.
These guys have come out with -- over 200 rulings and they say they're gonna keep coming out with -- more rulings until this actually gets appealed to the Supreme Court.
I have legislation.
That actually stops any additional rulings by this group.
You know -- right now operating under a cloud of uncertainty churn and for all the businesses and folks around the country that are being subjected to these rules and regulations I think they're all gonna get thrown out -- the Supreme Court finally rules and that could take years and that would just be a big fat -- wouldn't.
Well it's a lot of the things coming out in this administration that -- go way beyond what the law allows.
And that's what we're seeing here with these illegal unconstitutional recess appointments made by President Obama all right we're -- -- -- keep denying -- legislation.
Doctor -- we thank you very much for joining us that -- Capitol Hill thanks for having me thank you --

The "US Store" is the main store based in the US that ships to a ton of countries including Canada, and for international orders you should be able to get the stated shipping discount I think on the $30+ coupon ($7), but I have not confirmed that personally. For the $50+ coupon you definitely get the $9.75 off on international shipping.
Last time I remember there being a specific code for Canadians. |

@ the epic Timedog pizza-GAF shirt.
I'm sad that my smiley design didn't make the cut for this batch of t-shirts: I've been wearing the shit outta my |OT| t-shirt since I got it earlier this month. I will try to snap a pic the next time I'm wearing it and share it in this thread. |

That seems pretty impressive. It is also nice that you sell them at cost. I know I will pick up a few just because I think that is an awesome gesture to the community.

Many types of citations (tickets) and fines issued in cities in Hennepin County are processed at the Hennepin County District Court, including: Parking , Traffic, Criminal, Ordinances, Boating, Fish & Wildlife, and DNR fines.
A "payable" citation is one that does NOT require a court appearance, and payments are made to the court office called Violations Bureau. View Payment Options.
Some citations are called "administrative" and are not payable to the court, but rather must be settled with the city government where they were issued. If the words "District Court" or "Violations Bureau" do NOT appear on the ticket, it is probably an "administrative" ticket. Carefully read the front and back of the ticket to see how and where you can pay or contest the ticket. MN Statute § 169.999 allows local governments to issue administrative tickets in certain situations.
"Court Required" citations are those that require the person who got the ticket to appear in court at a specific date and time. If you got a citation that says "court required," the court will send you a "Notice to Appear" to the address currently listed on your driver's license or ID, or to the address you gave to the court during the case. You must appear at the hearing or a warrant may be issued for your arrest. Call (612)348-2040 if you need to change the hearing date. NOTE: If the court ordered you to pay a "fine," you cannot pay it online. You must pay court fines by mail or in person. View Payment Options for details.
You can meet with a Hearing Officer about a ticket if you believe that you are not guilty of the charge(s) or you cannot afford the fine. A Hearing Officer can explain possible options for settling a citation besides pleading guilty or paying the fine. In some cases, they can reduce or dismiss the charges, or give you other options to do community service rather than pay money. Approximately 85% of people who meet with a Hearing Officer settle their case. If your case does not settle with a Hearing Officer, it may get scheduled for a court hearing.

I was at the pediatrician's office this week; a place which is as good an argument for birth control as I can think of. As I sat reading a book, into this quiet sanctuary burst two identical-twin 6-year-old boys with identical sheep-dog bangs. One shouted, and I am not kidding, "Monster truck war!" and within seconds the two were on their knees bashing together two plastic trucks the office provides for the purpose.
Their mother, sporting the same haircut, sat down and began typing intensely on her smart phone, as if calling in an air strike on her life. When she was called away into the reception foyer, one boy let his truck rip, and it blazed across the floor and hit my foot. He had not meant it to, clearly, but he was also unconcerned that it had. Suddenly bored, he kicked his brother hard in the thigh just as his mother returned.
"Satan, that's enough," she said. I don't remember his exact name. Maybe it was Stan.
"Mom, can I get the red truck from that room?" Stan asked.
"No, that's the room where the sick kids wait," the mom said. "It has cooties."
"The room has cooties?"
"Does the red truck have cooties?"
"What are cooties?"
"Little critters that can make you sick."
"Can I go get the red truck?"
"No! Go play so I can forget my misery."
I am paraphrasing.
"Do you want one?" she smiled ruefully at me, head-gesturing at Stan.
I tried to smile back in a fellow-parenty, been-there, non-judgmental way, and failed.
The mother was called back out, or just pretended to be. Stan followed her out and shut the glass door, instantly galvanizing his twin, who I will call Dan, into attempting to open it. The resulting Stan-Dan yank-open/slam-closed contest shook the walls, but not enough to bring a maternal rebuke.
Confident he had made his point, Dan turned to the aquarium in the corner, where two large goldfish swam languidly.
"Rarrr!" Dan yelled at them, jamming his face and fists against the glass. "Rarrr!"
Turned out the boys were not even there for a checkup. It was their sister who was sick, and the mom had had her sit out on the hall floor instead of the sick kids waiting room, so she would not "catch something even worse."
Somehow I do not think that cooties, as tribulations go, will ever compare to twin brothers.

The movement to democratize interior design has been building steam for a while, from magazines like Domino that broke the mold of the unattainable and unaffordable in traditional shelter magazines to blogs and books that break down the basic principles of design.
Despite Boston's abundant amount of green space, there are very few local shopping options for urban gardeners. Lindsey Swett, a lifelong green thumb, got tired of making trips to the 'burbs for supplies, so she started Niche for people like herself, no Zipcar necessary.
MoreDisappointed by the options available for covering his iPhone, designer Erick Waldman decided to create his own modern organic version using wood. After fielding orders from friends and family, Erick launched Lazerwood, following up with keyboards, headphones and custom designs.
MoreLanding strips: we often emphasize how important they are for home (and especially small space) organization. For the few who have been holdouts to our landing strip mantra: prepare to meet your match. Even if you have ZERO space, you can certainly work in a Walhub, a multitasking switchplate that includes hooks and slots for those by-the-door necessities.
MoreIt's been a long time since I completely lost myself in an online store, but when I found Robin Sprong, I lost an hour. Maybe two. The online retailer is stocked with fantastic surface designs, from surreal sketches to whimsical patterns to cutting-edge Lomography panels.
Assemble Shop & Studio is one of those sites you'll want to bookmark for future gift giving needs. Curated by Andie Powers and Emily Grosse, this online shop stocks adorable handcrafted gifts and housewares, as well as assemble kits, which are pre-packaged craft projects that are perfect for the DIYers in your life.
Interior designer Jessica Spencer recognizes that there are two kinds of home decorators — those who need a little design hand holding and those who have their own definite vision. Alchemy Design Studio is a destination for both. Spencer offers both remote design services as well a full web shop stocked with furniture and accessories.

Wrestling: Unbeaten Rockets cruise past Dixon, North Boone
Rocking and rolling
ROCK FALLS – Just about everyone in the Rock Falls wrestling family walked out of Tabor Gymnasium happy Wednesday night after a pair of comfortable dual meet victories.
Rockets head coach Derrick Cox was not among them. He saw plenty of things he wasn't too pleased with after his team dispatched North Boone 60-10 and Dixon 53-15.
"We were a little sloppy," Cox said. "We let guys hang in the match way too long. We should have pushed the issue a little bit more. I guess wrestling 15 duals in the first 2 1/2 weeks may do that to you.

SAG Awards 2011: Best and Worst Dressed
I hope you all tuned in to the Screen Actors Guild Awards last night to see, not only some of your favorite actors win some awards, but also see how good they looked while doing it. Now that the winners of the 2011 SAG Awards have been announced, it's time to decide who won for the best and worst dressed on the red carpet.
My vote for best dressed went to Hailee Steinfeld in Prada. I think that on an older actress this dress could have gone horribly wrong, but it was playful and appropriate for her age. And the way she accessorized it with matching pink nail polish and a lip shaped ring, was the icing on the cake.
Mila Kunis was a very close second in a red Alexander McQueen gown. Quoted saying that it was the most comfortable gown she has ever worn, she definitely walked the red carpet with elegance and ease.
Dianna Agron in Chanel Haute Couture and January Jones in Carolina Herrera were spitting images of what a classic blonde bombshell should look like: pure elegance.
Annette Bening in Tony Ward Couture, Paz de la Huerta in Twenty Cluny, and Lea Michelle in Oscar de la Renta brought the stars down to earth to shine for the night!
Nataile Portman in Azzaro, Amy Adams in Hervé Leroux, and Eva Longoria in Georges Hobeika Couture brought in the white trend that's been so hot this year.
And as if they weren't jewels themselves, Julianna Margulies in Yves Saint Laurent, Sofia Vergara in Roberto Cavalli, and Kim Kardashian in Marchesa all wore the deepest, richest jewel-toned gowns out there.
While Hailee Steinfeld did bright right, Jennifer Lawrence did not. In her not-so-hot but oh-so bright pink gown by Oscar de la Renta Miss Lawrence's look came off too over powering, especially with the contrast of her black accesories.
Winona Rider was a prom gown gone wrong, brought back from 2000, in Alberta Ferretti. This gown, combined with the hair, was a little too "red carpet" for us.
Unfortunately my last choice is Jane Lynch. Normally on point with her ensembles during ceremonies, her Ali Rahimi gown was too heavy on the bottom and looked much too much like a deflated balloon.
Which celebrities were on your best and worst dressed list?

The Cross(x)Species adventure club enlists people to taste a biodiverse and delicious future, and furthermore, to engage in enticing experiments, invest in food innovation, and participate in re-designing our collective relationship to natural systems.
Food can not only be redesigned to reduce the environmental costs, but to promote, augment and remediate ecosystems –greatly amplifying a positive androgenic effect. This requires understanding the food web and community structure, chemistry, nutrient cycles and organisms behavior within the context of complex ecological systems.
Like the web 2.0 of the food systems, the cross(x)species adventure club guides us towards a participatory, DIY, and multi-platform food systems (to complement centralized control under the FDA regulating service). In short food as a medium of art, adventure, pleasure and agency.

Paul said, "For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present nor things to come; nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:38-39)
I was driving to Atlanta recently to preach the funeral of a very dear friend. This thought leaped from my mind. I have lived a long time and my work on earth will soon be finished. I am not afraid to die. I have lived 86 years. I pray each day, "Lord, not my will, but Your will be done."
I was born into a Christian family. God has blessed me beyond anything I could ever merit. My grandparents and parents were dedicated Christians. My sister and three brothers are all Christians. Many of them are now living in that home God prepared for them. I can't think of anything I would change if I could.
God brought me an angel when I was 16 years old. She was a saint, and we married and lived together fifty-seventy wonderful years, and God gave us two sons, who brought us two lovely daughter-in laws. Later, they were blessed with seven beautiful daughters and two handsome boys. They are blessings we could never deserve. I have preached the gospel around most of the world. After living all these years, I know the best is yet to be.
I am sure you can say with me, no matter how exciting, wonderful and full your life has been, or how many trials and tribulations you have conquered, life has been good. It is a gift from God. I expect if we had the chance to do it again, we would gladly accept the challenge, and most of us would do a better job on the second round. Young people should focus on living life to its fullest. If we learn to love God with all our strength, mind and soul, and love our neighbors as we love ourselves, we will not fear death.
Thomas Ken wrote this line in a hymn, "Teach me to live that I may dread the grave as little as my bed." William James said, "The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it." John said in Revelation, "You shall have tribulations, be faithful unto death and I will give you a crown of life." (Rev. 2:10)
I do know that if you love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and love your neighbor as yourself, you will walk down those streets of gold to the house not made with hands that God prepared for you.
Life and death come to all living creatures. God never intended us to live forever in this world of trials and tribulations. Never forget, life is eternal. One day soon, I hope to meet the Christ who died for me, and see a host of loved ones and friends who outran me to the Father's house.
If we expect great things from God, He will satisfy our deepest longings. Do not forget John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Paul wrote in Philippians 1:21, "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain."
Death is not the enemy, it is the friend who opens the door to eternity, where there is no parting or tears. The Bible tells us, "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."

BONO: Extra Money for a Rainy Day |
Bono's bank account is about to get even fatter, thanks to Facebook's IPO. Bono and his investment firm Elevation Partners, which focuses on media, entertainment and technology industries, sunk $120 million into the social media site in 2010 and could come away with much more when the stock goes on sale in April. Facebook is looking to raise $5 billion on the premise the company will be valued at $100 billion -- and if Elevation sells its shares at that price, it will have tripled its investment.

I hope it wasn't AJ that made this bet, it's rather crazy to gamble your home and livelihood on a pointless contest. AJ is usually so level headed.
I mean they could just tell the Flim Flam's to shove it and keep their challenge, it's not like people will stop respecting them. They're ponies, not Klingons. - January 14, 2012 at 2:23 PM

Also as somebody else asked, the Apple's are putting their farm on the line, I wonder what the Flim Flam's have gambled. Would the Apple's become OP if they win the Flim Flam's livelihood (probably another farm or factory)?
I'm guessing the Flim Flam's will cheat and go home with nothing but disgrace (ie not get punished by a good bucking). - January 14, 2012 at 2:26 PM

Just about.

Hm, "cider" round these parts (England) has alcohol, albeit in widely variant concentrations. Otherwise it's apple juice. - January 14, 2012 at 3:04 PM

I see it also. It was the first thing that popped up into my head when I saw that picture - January 14, 2012 at 3:07 PM
- Jimperator said...
I think this discussion was covered extensively in the original synopsis post. Basically in North America, cider can be both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.
Which makes me wonder if they'll change it for international airing. - January 14, 2012 at 3:09 PM
- Feros said...
@Sgt ByrdYou may be right. The Flim Farm brothers might be among these news antagonist Jayson told us about.
Can't wait for this episode! - January 14, 2012 at 3:11 PM
- Harwick said...
But in North America, where the show is written and made, cider is non-alcoholic unless otherwise specified. The difference between it and juice is pasteurization. - January 14, 2012 at 3:12 PM
- The Bearded Stallion said...
@Strange Noise
In most of America and most parts of Canada cider is just an unfiltered apple juice. No alcohol at all. Hard Cider has alcohol. - January 14, 2012 at 3:16 PM
- the-matthew said...
I doubt they'll change the "cider" for international audiences. We're used to Americanisms turning up without explanation, so if something odd turns up - for instance, giving cider to children - we just assume it's a difference in language. - January 14, 2012 at 3:19 PM
- Victory Star said...
No see,in north america, hard ANYTHING means your drink is all frisky. Hense "hard".
O.0 - January 14, 2012 at 3:24 PM
- StrangeNoise said...
And as long as they don't give the cider to child-characters, it'll actually be OK anyway, as in europe a broadcaster's probably less likely to get into trouble for admitting that adults drink in a kids' show. :-)
Even if they *do* show the kids drinking some, that'll probably be received differently in eg: UK and France, where children are introduced to alcohol sooner (which some argue helps with it becoming a normalised part of family life rather than a rebellious teenage thing).
So they probably don't need to change it. - January 14, 2012 at 3:26 PM

If anything can possibly pull Applejack out of last place in the fandom's overall opinions of the mane six, it's got to be this episode. This is your chance to shine, AJ!

I'd laugh like a madman if they actually lost the farm. Then I'd be like, "Wait, did they really just- NOOOOOO!!! D8" Maybe they'll at least psyche us out for a moment.
In all seriousness, I wouldn't necessarily assume that the rest of the clan will get involved. And yeah, it would be great if the creators bothered remembering that, once upon a time, Big Macintosh used to say actual things. But sure, guys, keep beating that horse until it's, well... - January 14, 2012 at 3:29 PM
- Jimperator said...
Hah, alright then. Reminds me of something an English friend of mine said once about hearing British accented actors on TV as opposed to American accents. It caused a temporary "wtf?" moment. - January 14, 2012 at 3:29 PM
- King Kay said...
@Victory Star Oh, it's nothing bad, really. Panty & Stocking is a very... odd and "adult" Japanese cartoon. I saw an episode once- It's hard show to forget. Very distinctive in style.
- January 14, 2012 at 3:31 PM

@King Kay
That's exscatly what I thought when I saw that picture.AppleJack looks a lot like Panty in that image. - January 14, 2012 at 3:34 PM
- King Kay said...
@Ropera For me, the style of the picture seemed familiar, but I couldn't place it. Then I suddenly realized that Twilight and Stocking's hair are like, exactly the same. Then it all clicked.

What are the restrictions on alcohol in kids shows in the UK anyway? I remember seeing Warner Bros cartoons shown back in the 90s where characters get drunk.

- the-matthew said...
@Joe York
I think it's OK for adults to be shown drinking responsibly on children's TV in the UK. I can remember seeing parents with glasses of wine or beer, but I think the only time I've seen children drink alcohol on children's TV was when the show was making a point about drinking to excess. (The law says that you need to be 18 or over to buy alcohol or drink it in licensed premises, except that 16 and 17 year olds can drink beer, wine or cider with a meal in a restaurant and there's no age limit at home so most children are familiar with alcohol and most will have tried it.) - January 14, 2012 at 4:39 PM

yeah we *know*, we don't *care* :-P We're on about how it'll be received here assuming they don't try to change it for the location *because* "cider" is alcoholic here. - January 14, 2012 at 5:00 PM
- StrangeNoise said...
And basically, I think, we're saying, even with that different interpretation of "cider" it wouldn't actually be a problem - January 14, 2012 at 5:01 PM

@King Kay
You're not the only one. I, too, have seen the resemblance, but I've also seen other crossover art of the two series because of the visual similarities between Twilight Sparkle and Stocking, and Applejack and Panty. I've also seen the entire series of P&S w/GB, and eagerly await season 2 (if they ever make it).
It's hilarious, but yes, rather adult, and one has to not RAGE over constant toilet and sexual humor to be able to enjoy it.
As far as the Apples and the bet, well, think about it. They are challenged by brothers named after a confidence scheme; scam artists. I wouldn't be surprised if the Apples were tricked into making the bet in the first place, not knowing what they were doing, and the brothers just trying to make it look legit so they couldn't complain when they lost SAA. It will then be the Apple's pride that will keep them from backing out once they realize the ploy. - January 14, 2012 at 6:15 PM

- Nightwings81 said...
Given their names, I could see the Flim Flam brothers lying and claiming that the farm is actually theirs through a long time contract or something and the Apples have to do the contest to keep their farm...maybe Twilight and the others find that the contract is phoney, but the Apples win anyway, based on the quality of their product
- January 14, 2012 at 10:07 PM
- Silverness said...
I'm actually thinking that the Flim Flam brothers come to Sweet Apple Acres trying to buy the farm from them saying they have one of the best farms around Equestria (but are lying of course) and then they decide to do a contest to see if the Apples keep the farm. The Apples will still win though because of how delicious and good their apples are

FIM does plenty of overused stuff, it's a kids show. Kids can't spell cliché yet.
They introduced a turtle/tortoise into an episode with a race, guess who was gonna win that race.
Even though FIM has these clichés, I don't care, because I still love it, even if I can predict the ending. I'm a lot older than the target audiance, so it stands to reason that I am smarter than them. It's more about how we get to the ending that matters to me, and that's where FIM is brilliant. - January 15, 2012 at 4:14 AM

One of the ADD / ADHD symptoms comes down to difficulties in reading, mostly because we have hard time to focus for a long time. This causes many ADHDers to read siginificantly slower than other people, and in some cases avoid any reading whatsoever.
Several years ago I bought my first MP3 player. The last thing I thought when I made the purchase, is that it will transform my reading habits.
Yes, I said reading habit not listening habits.
It was a Sansa Clip, a cute and simple, little MP3 player with 4Gb of memory. Enough to store all my favorite music. When I opened the box I found inside the expected Sansa Clip, earphones, USB cable and a user manual. But there was one more thing inside the box.
Usually, I automatically throw all the extra promotional material that comes with new gadgets, but this time something caught my eye. It said: Download a Free Audiobook.
I love books. I love reading. I am kind of an information freak, but never in my life I have listened to an audio book, so I thought, what the heck, it's free, why not try one.
So I did, I typed in the web address, which happened to be Audible.com and downloaded my first audio book. It was love at first sight, or maybe should say, love at first sound.
I downloaded "The 4-Hour Workweek", and since then I have heard 168 books, in less than four years. That's about 4 books per month on average. Something I could never achieve by reading the same books in print. I love reading, but I am a slow reader, probably due to my ADHD, and the audiobooks give me the opportunity to consume more books, possibly 3 or 4 times more than I could ever read in the same period of time.
Other than not being limited by my slow reading, audio books allow me to hear them while doing physical work that does not need concentration, such as, while washing the dishes, walking around, working in the back yard, and so on. I am not limited by my slow reading anymore, and I don't have to sit down to read.
Certainly, there are downside to listening over reading, as well, mainly when I wish to highlight certain parts of the book for later reference. The audible app for the newer devices, such as tablets and smart phones, now allows me to bookmark as many parts of the audio book as I wish, but these devices are somewhat less intimate comparing to Sansa Clip.
I encourage anyone with or without ADHD to try audio books. Here are some references, some are free and some are for fee, some are excellent quality some are less.

We are such voracious consumers — of food to natural resources — it's a wonder we haven't run out of everything already.
Well, it's not too late to learn lessons from the past and begin to work, truly with intent, for a sustainable world. A home where we treasure what we have and replenish what we use.
And it turns out that sustainability can be good for business. According to the North Carolina Sustainability Center, sustainability offers the promise of long term profit for those businesses getting on-board.
The center says that going green and making green can go hand in hand.
NCSC has lined up more than 100 businesses that have committed to greener practices. This organization has a goal of establishing North Carolina as a leader in sustainability.
Check out the organization's website and you'll learn, "NCSC is changing the dialogue about sustainability by making the link between environmental and social well-being and economic opportunity for our state."
The group was thinking about "sustainability" before most of us had even contemplated what that word means in today's context of living on a planet we take good care of.
The organization had its beginnings way back in 1998 when it started out as a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation, then known as Save Our State, led by founding executive director Alan Briggs. Save Our State (which was not in any way connected to the current "Save Our State NC" organization) worked to find practical solutions to the problem of hog waste disposal in North Carolina. In 2002, while work continued on the hog waste issue, the organization expanded its mission and Save Our State became Sustainable North Carolina.
Over the next several years, Sustainable North Carolina worked to promote a more sustainable economy.
In 2011, the name of the organization changed again to the North Carolina Sustainability Center. A new board of directors was seated to create a business model for the center, one predicated on measuring and communicating the value of sustainability to North Carolina's economy.
Since last year, the NCSC has worked to secure support from 125 North Carolina businesses, which have expressed support for sustainability efforts as "good for business and the state's economy." Signatories include large corporations like Duke Energy, SAS, and Ingersoll Rand, Harrington Bank, Eastern Carolina Organics, and Quaintance-Weaver Restaurants & Hotels.
The business leaders signed a statement that proclaims, in part: "Sustainable communities — ones that foster economic growth while also protecting social, cultural, and environmental well-being — are critically important to us and to our employees."
It is encouraging to see corporations recognizing how vital it is to strive to preserve as they prosper.
