In the first week of November the Netherlands will be buzzing again with "Green activities". Two leading fairs and many companies open their doors to inspire visitors and to do business. For traders and producers from all over the world a reason to book a ticket and visit the Netherlands. At the International Floriculture and horticulture Trade Fair (IFTF) in Vijfhuizen the World of Flowers is organized. A must see for all florists, traders and producers.
IFTF World of Flowers is organized by Green Team Consultancy+ (www.greenteamconsultancy.com) for the third time in November 2016. In 2014 it started as a tribute to special flowers. Last year the Flowershop of the future was on display and this year a next step will be taken.
This year the FlowerLab (www.theflowerlab.org) will enter the World of Flowers. In here the florist can meet the Millenial. Through a visual tour information and tips are given how to seduce the younger generation (20-35 years) to buy flowers and plants. Based on three central themes, leading florists will show practical displays.
With this inspiration the visitor can meet with the florists and an array of different service companies to discuss practical solutions and when required, hire the right assistance.
Furthermore a floral competition (Wim Hazelaar Trophee) and an auditorium program complete the World of Flowers. This is all situated in one of the most complete and inspiring International Floriculture and horticulture Trade Fair (IFTF, Vijfhuizen, 2-4 November, opening hours 10:00-18:00 daily).
For the third time the World of Flowers will be organized at the IFTF in Vijfhuizen, the Netherlands. From 2nd untill 4th November 2016 this event for international florists will present inspiring demonstrations and competitions. The World of Flowers will inform about consumer behaviour and give practical solutions to florist for their day-to-day business.
Only inspiration is not enough however. Therefore the World of Flowers offers a platform where inspiration is connected to practical information. Discussing this information with the service companies, also present can help to find accessible and direct applicable solutions for their specific situation and/or ambitions.
The World of Flowers is part of IFTF. During the IFTF in november 2016 a larger number of companies will present themselves at a splendid location in Haarlemmermeer (the Netherlands). As a florist in Europe this event should not be missed!
"Exhibitors Housing Management", "Global Housing Services, Corp.", or any company offering hotel services by phone or email in relation to IFTF are in no way linked to IFTF nor any other exhibition organized and/or managed by HPP Exhibitions. We suggest that you organize your hotel needs yourself.
In early November, the IFTF trade fair took place in Vijfhuizen, The Netherlands. The exhibitors and numerous visitors could meet each other, become acquainted with product innovations and trade developments and do business. IFTF World of Flowers was a new event that was aimed specifically at florists. With nearly 700 registered florists in attendance, the expectations for the event were more than met.
Dazzling bridal show
Flowers befitting the best day of your life: that was what the first day of World of Flowers was mainly about. Expert Dutch floral designer Dini Holtrop showed all of the things that are possible with bridal work, focusing on 4 themes: winter, summer, romantic and '1001 nights'.
For fashion models Caroline and Roxi it was an eye-opening experience. They looked beautiful, in part thanks to the gorgeous flower arrangements they carried, and were pleasantly surprised by how kind people were at the first flower show they ever visited. In fact, countless people wanted to be in a photo with the 'brides'.
Meanwhile, the bridal show attracted lots of spectators. Dutch florists, but also a large group of Italian colleagues, who received 'subtitles' in their own language. "It required a lot of preparation, explains florist Bert Kuiper, who commentated the show. We have tried to keep it 'practical': not just explaining to you how to make wedding arrangements, but also providing tips about how to handle the bride (your client) on this lovely, but oh so exciting, day."
Flower shop, ready for the Future
Three days of hard work went into realizing the Flower Shop of the Future, which was central to the event.
"Alongside floral arrangement, The Flower Shop of the Future is about experiences. It is the experience on offer that customers will increasingly evaluate their florist on. The supermarket's moment has passed for now. Consumers want their senses stimulated. Beautiful images of flowers and atmospheres on a screen. A good cup of coffee or a glass of prosecco, it's all becoming a part of it more and more."
Flower stylist Saskia Broers was working in the Flower Shop of the Future on the first day. "It was pretty crowded, a lot of photographs were made and the feedback of the visitors was quite positive overall. You get a lot of questions. Also from growers, who are looking to the florist for new ways to peddle their wares. For me, a successful day."
Plenty of interest for the stands at World of Flowers
Alongside the bridal show and the flower shop of the future, florists could find more things to their liking in the various stands of World of Flowers. The IFTF trade fair itself is already a bit of a candy store for flower lovers, but the World of Flowers stands were aimed specifically at the florist.
Chris Martens of Smithers/Oasis was satisfied. "It was regularly pretty busy. Plus at this international trade fair you speak to the right people. I talked to people from China, Saudi Arabia and Italy. Who knows, there may be new export opportunities for our products there."
Oliver Mathys of Oliver M Consulting received a fair amount of interested people at his table as well. He advises garden centres and umbrella organizations of garden centers, by looking at stores through the eyes of the consumer. "I also make German-language inspirational films which, for example, convey a message from a breeder to the consumer in language that he understands. I have been able to have some good conversations about that, as well as my other services."
Steven France of Florismart was struck by the international nature of the audience. "You speak people from all the different continents, but Dutch exporters as well. There was also an English florist, who was already registered on our webshop, but did not know all the functionality that well. He can get started with it now."
What visitors say
"We are here for the first time", says a Romanian florist couple. The exhibition is very nice. The arrangements on display are truly stunning, including those that are made in the Flower Shop of the Future. Additionally, we did not expect to see so many suppliers of base materials."
From Dubai comes an English couple, who have opened a flower shop in a supermarket there. "We are not so much looking for flowers, as for the things that surround them. New developments in refrigeration and shop decoration. We notice, now, that the trade fair focuses a bit more on flowers than on the surrounding hardware. But here at World of Flowers we spotted the kind of flower cooler that we are interested in. And we can take note of new digital and logistical capabilities, which can improve our business."
Rudi Tuinman of 2Dezign is positive about what he sees in Vijfhuizen. "Once you're inside, there instantly is a good atmosphere. It is intimate, yet there is a lot of activity. And conceptually there are, certainly also for the florist, a lot of interesting things to see."
Cymbidium grower Paul van Schie of Cy.More Flavour is one of the sponsors of World of Flowers. Cy.More Flavour is a partnership of eight cymbidium growers. "We like to take part in this because we growers can strengthen ties with the florist here. For us, the florist is incredibly important. He has to captivate his (and thus also my) clients with my product. The Flower Shop of the Future provides great leads for that. Fortunately, there are some real florists among the Millennials. You also see that spirit at World of Flowers, thankfully. The spirit of people who want to create a story with flowers. Who love the profession and are hooked on the product. People who can offer solace with the product, as well as express joy with it. Those are the people growers make flowers for. And those are the flowers with which floral designers make top-notch arrangements, which put a smile on people's faces.
Flowers and more
Intrigued florists were constantly coming and going in the Flower Shop. But there was much more that stood out. No wonder, then, that there were a lot of visitors and that most cameras were constantly snapping photos.
Grass Roses. Wonderful arrangements were made, for example, from the so-called grass roses, a series of new, unique roses from Olij Breeding. These roses were presented in Vijfhuizen by Barendsen Aalsmeer, and received much interest.
Grass Roses are roses that grow with so much vigour that their flowers seem almost distorted. Such breeds were never used in the past, but there is a growing market for them nowadays. Because they are very decorative and special.
Catering? A small corner of the Flower Shop of the Future was reserved for people to catch a breath, in colourful, tasteful surroundings. The couch was regularly occupied. Many garden centres, particularly in the British Isles, already feature such a public place of relaxation, which brings in good money as well as extra visitors. Is there an opportunity here for the florist of tomorrow?
Vijfhuizen, Holland. The Kenya Flower Council joined hundreds of exhibitors from all over
the world at the International Flower Trade Fair (IFTF) which took place at Vijfhuizen, Netherlands between 4th and 6th November, 2015. Kenya was represented by 26 exhibitors 12 of whom shared the Kenyan Pavillion at the event.
Speaking during the event the Kenya Flower Council CEO Mrs. Jane Ngige lauded the efforts made by the organisers of the hugely successful event and highlighted some of the benefits accrued from it.
"This year's IFTF show has been exceptional. The atmosphere at this year's fair has been very exciting and energetic. We met friends and established many new partnerships."
The Secretary General of Union Fleurs where KFC is a member Sylvie Mamias said the following of the event,
"This show has provided a platform for exhibitors to showcase what they can produce and
quality of their products especially big players like Kenya who use the event to promote their production."
Horticulture Crop Directorate Interim Head of Directorate Mr. Zakayo Magara said that the
fair provided an opportunity for countries to exhibit their best products and highlighted how Kenya is striving to achieve excellence in terms of quality to enhance and maintain its global market share.
Kenya's Ambassador to the Netherlands Her Excellency Rose Makena welcomed the Kenyan delegation to the country. She thanked the government of the Netherlands for supporting Kenya's floriculture industry among others. She said that the Kenya Government take the flower industry very seriously owing to its contribution to the country's economy, employment and wealth creation.
His Excellency Johnson Weru- Kenya's Ambassador to the Kingdom of Belgium and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg welcomed the presence of Kenya's exhibitors at the International event and hoped that it will be even better in the coming years. He advised the stakeholders from Kenya to coalesce under a national pavilion for effect and to register strong presence.
The Director of Credible Blooms Limited Mr. Eliud Njenga said that the fair provided him with an opportunity to discuss business with new buyers and strengthen existing relationships with his buyers. He said that he was able to meet buyers from 15 countries which in essence have helped him to cut on costs which he would otherwise have used to travel to these countries to meet the clients.
Dr. Deborah Ghione from NIRP International appreciated the organisers of the event saying that it was very important for her firm to meet their customers from all over the world in just three days. She said that besides clinching several orders the event provided the firm with the opportunity to exhibit their new varieties. She predicted a rosy future for the flower industry following increased global consumption.
Mr. Alejandro Martinez, Executive Director of Expoflora-Ecuadorian Association of Flower Exporters- appreciated the fact that growers and exporters are coming together to form associations which is good for the flower industry. He said consumers do not care so much where the flowers come from as long as they are of good quality and have been sustainably grown. He said that there is a huge market growth and expansion. He said
that the goal of the industry should be to increase consumption of flowers worldwide. This
would be through production of high quality flowers, competitive pricing and understanding the flower needs of new clients especially the younger generation. He
called for closer cooperation among stakeholders in the industry whose goal should not
be to compete against each other but to concentrate on expanding the market.
Mr. Hector Pedreros Velasquez from Columbia observed that Kenya, Columbia and
Ecuador are the major producers of cut flowers but unfortunately they remain price takers.
He urged stakeholders-producers, customers and logistics to share information to further
develop and facilitate trade in flowers. He said the show provided him with the
opportunity to find out about market requirements which will inform him of what to grow
and how to grow it.
Vijfhuizen, Monday November 9, 2015. The 6th edition of IFTF grew to a peak towards the last day of the show. Both exhibitors as well as visitors were extremely satisfied with the demand and supply at the trade show at Expo Haarlemmermeer in Vijfhuizen, Holland. With a very crowded first day, the high attendance continued on the second day to finish off on the last day with another crowded day. Over 27.000 trade visitors attended the three day expo. Together with the 253 exhibiting companies, the number of participating countries totaled this year 128.
The atmosphere was great and a clear positive business buzz was going around the show. The number of new buyers, and especially the number of new (far away) countries from where these buyers came from, was remarkable. It was also noticeable that Russian buyers were present in considerable lower number. However, overall were the number of visitors was again higher than in 2014 and especially the quality of visitors was of a high content. Everybody was happy and some even were surprised by the excellent turn out of this edition of the trade fair.

Brightwell-cum-Sotwell is a village of picture postcard prettiness. Nestling in a hollow below Wittenham Clumps, it has at its heart the CAMRA award-winning Red Lion pub. Dotted along the narrow streets are picturesque black and white thatched cottages. There is a school and pre-school, four churches, and a village hall which houses a thriving volunteer-run village shop. The parish stretches to the edge of Wallingford, but the village values its separate identity.
In estate agents' jargon, this is a sought after village, but it is much more than a pretty face. People have lived and worked here for over a thousand years. Where our forebears tilled the land, we are now more likely to toil over computers. However, farming still has an important part to play in shaping the landscape, and we remain firmly in touch with our rural roots.
This is an area that has attracted artists, musicians, scientists and visionaries. Visitors come from all over the world to Mount Vernon, home of the celebrated Bach Flower Remedies. Wild flowers grown in the garden of Mount Vernon are still used to make the mother tincture of these homeopathic treatments, and their creator, Dr Edward Bach, is buried in St James's churchyard in Sotwell.
Thanks to Eric Dore for the home page photos of the bells at St Agatha's. These have been recently restored and rehung by Whites of Appleton, with funds from a big fund-raising campaign in the village and practical help from the team in Eric's pictures. Also shown is the new mirror placed by the Parish Council at the junction between Church Lane and High Road averting many near-misses. Feel free to send us your photos, news and dates for the calendar. If you would like to advertise or create a web page for your organisation, we would also love to hear from you.

The staff was very attentive all the time.
the room was big
the bathroom was very small,no fan or air conditioning
We are more than sattisfied. Friendly, personal attitude, best service, excellent dinner and breakfast. Just to advise!
Beautiful, lake side location, great service and terrific breakfasts and dinners
Certainly its location on the shore of the lake; but mostly the outstanding room I was given: large double, top floor, with windows and balcony overlooking the lake.
excelent view
beautiful and quaint location -one of our favorite places we stayed on our vacation. Their epic was perfect and the breakfast was authentic and delicious!
no internet avalible,the price too high for the hotel
wonderful room with great view of the lake from large balcony
Staff was very kind and hepful. Equipment of the hotel and my room was great. I had read critics among reviews that hotel has old-fashion furniture. I think if someone put up at such a hotel the typical facilities belong to its atmosphere. It was really intimate. The size of the room was also great. And the hotel has a good wellness area. Breakfast was excellent alike.
It is a bit far from the center, but if you book a room in this hotel, you know it, because you can check it on the map.
Lovely old castle, full of character and very friendly staff. Nicely equiped spa centre in the gardens - great position overlooking the lake. Room had balcony. Good breakfast.
The restaurant was closed for a private function. Some tables should have been left available for guests.

Traffic on the Parkway East inbound has resumed after a fallen light pole halted traffic on Friday afternoon.
The pole landed between the cab and bed portion of a flatbed truck near exits for Oakland and the Boulevard of the Allies.
All three lanes of the Parkway East inbound were stopped while crews removed the light pole.
The driver of the truck was not injured.

Matiz Organic Piquillo Peppers
Of all the delicious piquillos we tested, these wood-roasted organic peppers were the standouts. With their silky texture and resinous kick, they're ideal as a topper for goat cheese crostini or stuffed with high-quality canned tuna.
$9 for a 7.6-ounce jar; 425-270-5806; evze.com
A splurge, but it's prosciutto's rock-star cousin (cured for more than two years; made from free-range pigs that feed on grass and acorns). Buttery, nutty, and hauntingly sweet, a little goes a long way. Perfect with a glass of cava (Spain's famed sparkling wine).
$49 for 4 ounces; 800-710-4304; jamon.com
Mild White Anchovy Fillets in Oil and Vinegar
Firm, bright-tasting, yet not salty, white anchovies, or boquerones, are a universe away from the canned variety. Try them draped over romaine lettuce and drizzled with olive oil.
$13.50 for 3.17 ounces; 800-710-4304; latienda.com
El Rey de La Vera Smoked Paprika
If there's one spice that shouts "Spain," it's the paprika known as Pimentón de La Vera. Made from oak-fire-dried peppers, it lends smoky sweetness to spice rubs, scrambled eggs, and salmon cakes. There's sweet (dulce) or spicy (picante), which packs heat.
$5 for a 2.7-ounce tin; 877-446-8763; igourmet.com
Señorío de Vizcántar Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
Varieties like Picual, Picudo, and Hojiblanca are what give Spanish olive oil its distinctive flavor. With full-on fruitiness balanced by a peppery bite, this one would be great over soup, salad, or a bowl of white beans.
$17.95 for a 17-ounce bottle; 800-710-4304;
You know about the terrific sheep's-milk cheeses from Spain, but have you tried Spanish goat's-milk cheese? PataCabra is semisoft, tangy, and creamy, with complex flavors and subtle earthiness. This would make one deluxe mac and cheese orgrilled cheese sandwich.
$25 for 1 pound; 800-547-1515; cheesestorebh.com

Miami Heat Fall to Atlanta in OT, Suffer Fourth-Straight Loss
And Karmapocalypse 2011 continues.
While LeBron James was all healed up from his ankle injury and back on the court, it was Chris Bosh who was forced to sit out with a bum ankle. So we all got a glimpse into a Miami Heat team sans Bosh. And the result was a 93-89 loss at home to the Atlanta Hawks -- Miami's fourth-straight loss.
Sure he's not flashy or charismatic or a big name, like the other two. He doesn't get the cool commercials or his own cartoon show. But last night the Heat sure as shit missed Chris Bosh and his sweet mid-range jumpers and occasional screaming into the air after made baskets.
LeBron poured in 34 and added 10 rebounds, but missed a pair of game-winning three-point shots during both the end of regulation, and the end of overtime. Way to go, jerk!
Upcoming Events
Meanwhile, Dwyane Wade added 27 points of his own. The dynamic duo kept things together for the Heat as long as they could. But discovered a new-found appreciation for all things Bosh.
The rest of the Heat, in true form, delivered giant pieces of turd, with Eddie House leading the shit-procession with 12 points. Mario Chalmers scored 10 points, which was actually 10 more than what Carlos Arroyo was able to contribute.
Joel Anthony was forced to start in Bosh's place. And while he's lovingly referred to as The Warden by Heat fans for his deft play on the defensive end of the court, Anthony is not as adroit on the offensive side. Anthony grabbed 16 rebounds, which is an absurd amount of rebounds, but scored no points. It was that kind of night for dudes not named LeBron or Wade.
Erik Spoelstra tried to make up for Bosh's absence by starting Zydrunas Ilgauskas alongside Anthony, giving the Heat starting rotation two centers slower than a resetting DirecTV receiver (unplug it, wait 10 seconds, and then plug it back in!!!). It was a cruel forced experiment with predictable results. Just two points scored between the two big men -- both by Ilgauskas.
The Heat are now 1-7 in games decided by five points or less. Which means if Miami isn't completely obliterating teams by twenty, they end up on the losing end. It's a troubling trend that'll need to be fixed come playoff time, because the Heat won't be facing the Wisconsin Vaginas in the postseason. They'll be facing real teams who will always keep things close. It would be of great benefit if LeBron, Wade and Bosh's ankles didn't up and explode on us, either.
The loss now cuts Miami's lead in the Southeast to two games and drops them to two and half behind Boston in the overall conference standings.
Miami hosts Toronto on Saturday, giving the Heat three days to recoup from injuries. Or three days to find a way to infect Zydrunas Ilgauskas with some gamma rays.

It's Lunar Flow offspring is enjoying quite a run including a couple new variations for early 2012, and that's all because of the foundation the Nike Air Flow laid with its groundbreaking design. This new edition comes to retail during the same season when we'll also get the 'Voltage Cherry' OG, but this tonal Anthracite getup proves that whether it's late 1989 or early 2012, the Air Flow has what it takes to nail the look of the day. Click through to see a modern take on this neoprene masterpiece and grab yours from a Nike Sportswear stockist like Oneness.

Hey guys,
Background Info:
I am using HP Pavilion dv4 1131tx, the factory default came with Windows Vista 32 bits, currently running on Windows 8, 64 bits.
I am able to play CDs but I am unable to play DVDs with the inbuilt PIONEER DVD-RW DVRTD08 ATA Device, despite installing HP MediaSmart DVD, VLC players and the what not. When I put in a DVD it will spin very fast and make a lot of noise and I won't be able to get the disc out, unless I manually force stop it by ejecting the whole disc drive, put it back in and swiftly press the eject button before it boots the DVD. Help please!
Here are the things I have tried but doesn't work:
1. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060/en-us
2. I have upgrade it to Windows 7 Professional and now Windows 8.1 Professional, the problem persist.

Hi ZiKai,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I regret that you are no longer able to play DVD's.
I see you have tried the Windows troubleshooter with no success. I checked the Pioneer site for a driver and Windows 8 and they do not offer on either.
Unfortunately, it appears that it is not totally compatible with Windows 8. The Windows driver gave you partial functionality but not all.
Have you tried installing the original driver? I do not know if it will work but it does not hurt to try.
Here is a link to Availability of Software and Drivers for Vista. Please note the section on "Reinstall original drivers to get the hardware devices working"
Good Luck!

This was said by Super Bowl-winning quarterback Trent Dilfer on ESPN this week: "The football has never been worse in the National Football League. The quality of product is horrific."
People like to hate Dilfer, but the truth is, he says some interesting things. And smart things. Like all of us, sometimes he's wrong and sometimes he's right. On this topic, I think he's right. It's a sentiment I've also heard expressed repeatedly by assistant coaches all season. I heard it again when I ran it by some coaches after Dilfer said it.
Many people across the league agree with what Dilfer said. Many, many people. The NFL is a mess.
Now, of course, this is all subjective. What exactly does "football has never been worse" mean? How do you qualify it? How do you even compare the quality of play to 2000, much less 1980 or 1950?
Again, all subjective, but here are three big reasons various assistant coaches told me Dilfer might be right:
The running back factor: The position was supposed to be dead, and now we're seeing how important it is. One of the reasons the Packers, for example, are struggling is they can't control the tempo of the game, and one of the reasons the Vikings are one of the great surprises of the league is because they can.
Having a great running back takes pressure off the quarterback—and off the defense as well—and the end result of not having one can be an offense (and team) that looks sloppy and chaotic.
What we're learning this season is that running backs are not only far from archaic, but they are in fact still vital. Teams took them for granted, and that's affected how the game flows and looks.
Officiating: The officiating this year is easily the worst I've ever seen. Mistake after mistake. Part of it is something I've said before: The athletes are simply too fast for 50-year-old dudes to keep up with.
The ref falls on his ass just backpedaling. And these are the guys who are supposed to ref the best athletes in the world.
But it's something else. It's the thickening of the rule book to the point that it's difficult to tell what is a catch and what isn't. In some cases, even the officials don't know. That's how bad the officiating has gotten.
I challenge you to read this from Dean Blandino, the NFL's vice president of officiating, on what exactly is a catch, and tell me what a catch is. You cannot read it and know. It's like reading Klingon.
When even the men who are charged with enforcing the rules don't know them, well, that's a problem. The uncertainty with the officiating adds to the notion that football today is sloppier than in the past.
The quarterbacks: Some of the biggest names in the sport have struggled, been hurt or both. Go down the list: Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger, Andrew Luck, Tony Romo, Sam Bradford, Ryan Tannehill, Johnny Manziel, Tyrod Taylor. On and on it goes.
Mark Sanchez threw a red-zone pick last week. It was like being in a time machine. Different uniform, same result.
Backup quarterback play has never been pretty, but the backups this season have been so unbelievably bad (in Dallas especially) it has dragged the entire NFL into a bad place.
Dilfer continued to say something else that's also true: The athletes are so good, they are saving the game from being unwatchable. The grace some of them display offsets the problems.
But it's not enough to totally do so.

Interview: 'Community' co-star Yvette Nicole Brown
The "Community" season 1 DVD came out today, and is worth a purchase both for the episodes themselves (I would not want to go through life without the ability to watch "Modern Warfare" at a moment's notice) and for the copious bonus features. With a cast this naturally funny, the outtakes are of course hilarious, there are commentaries on every episode, and there are a couple of amusing featurettes featuring creator Dan Harmon (one with him demonstrating how NBC has compromised his creative vision of Brita, and one where he meets with each castmember to do end-of-season evaluations).
And I'm taking the occasion of the DVD's release to post one of my two remaining "Community" interviews from the summer, with Yvette Nicole Brown. (If you missed the earlier ones, there's the Donald Glover/Danny Pudi video, Alison Brie, Dan Harmon and directors Joe and Anthony Russo. So Brown after the jump, and I look forward to talking about the terrific season premiere with you after it airs Thursday night at 8.
What is it that you like most about Shirley?
I like that Shirley is a mom. Not just that she has kids, but that her whole essence is, "Are you okay? What do you need?" I like it because it's kind of the way I am too. I'm always making sure people have the things they came with. I just think the world would be better if people took care of each other. That's kind of what I love about her.
You don't often see a character whose comic persona is defined by them being nice.
Exactly. Exactly. Well, she's not completely nice. They haven't really shown a lot of Shirley's other side, so you don't know why she's got this little quick fuse. I think the niceness is what she is, but it's also a way to cover the pain that she's been through. And I think it's utlimately niceness because she doesn't want to put her stuff on other people. So it's very presentational. I think the other side will peek through, and we'll see there's more to her than the "How can I help you, sweetie?" stuff.
How long did it take you to find the voice for when Shirley gets really high-pitched and distant?
It's funny. I wasn't even aware I was doing it at first. And it's now going to be referenced in an episode that Shirley is essentially Miss Piggy. The voice is essentially Miss Piggy. And I'm the biggest Muppets fan, so I thought maybe subconsciously, because my dream of being in a Muppet movie is not being realized, I'm trying to do an audition every week on "Community." I just feel like that's where her register would be. And the funny thing is, when she's mad, it's the basement. So it's two different sides.
But I remember in the Christmas episode, she was really hiding behind that voice because she's, like, "I don't understand you people."
"Oh, so everyone is not Christian?" I think Shirley's an interesting character study because there's so much going on that manifests in mannerisms. Whereas some people try to hide their stuff, she literally lives her stuff through her hands and her face and her clothing.
In the buddy cop episode, were you drawing on any particular inspirations?
I was trying to tap into my inner Mariska Hargitay, and a little David Caruso. There's a scene that got cut of me and Alison trying to out-David Caruso each other. I think that's where I was leaning.
That episode was definitely a Shirley highlight. What were some of your other favorites?
Of course paintball, because it was so ridiculous, in the best way. And Christmas, because I think we got to see how crazy Shirley really is, and how manipulative she is. Up until that point, we didn't know that she was a guilt monster.
Is that tough, early on in the series, where Shirley is relatively normal compared to some other people?
I think she appears to be relatively normal. I think we're going to find out that she's just as crazy as everyone else. And I mean, Pierce is as crazy as it gets, and there's varying degrees, but I think she's a little more towards the Pierce side than the Jeff side.
How is it working with Chevy?
Chevy is... fun. He is... interesting. He is full of stories about everyone and everything. He knows where all the bodies are buried. The thing I love most about him, if I had to pick something, is his relationship with his wife. He's been married 30 years. That's huge to me. Take Hollywood out of it; to make it 30 years is amazing. And his wife's a lovely woman. So my theory is anyone who married Chevy and stayed with him, he's got to be a cool dude.
Do you think Shirley would ever be foolish enough to give into Pierce's charm?
Never. Ne-ver. And the funny thing is, I never thought it was that Pierce likes Shirley. Pierce just likes women. And Shirley was the object of his fixation for a time, and now he's moved on. I don't think it will ever happen.
So what does Shirley do? Obviously she has two sons to take care of, but what is she doing when she's not at Greendale?
I'm trying to figure out how Shirley's at Greendale so much. Shirley's at Greendale from morning to night. Who has her babies? I think she bakes a lot. She makes brownies. I think she knits. I think she throws darts at her ex-husband. Literally; she doesn't have a picture, she follows him around and throws darts at him. And she's at church a lot, apparently.
Mentioning brownies, I've found that ever since that episode, I find myself doing the "Give him a sandwich" move.
Give him a sandwich! The Jack Nicholson move! Yeah. I loved the way they came up with that episode and what Shirley did, and Ioved the juxtaposition of Chang and his wife dancing and "Somewhere Out There" and Shirley overcoming her fear. I thought the editing of that episode, the writing and editing, was amazing.
So if she doesn't give into Pierce, will Shirley find love at some point.
I've said this so much that I think people are going to ask me to stop saying it, but I really want her to find love with Isaiah Mustafa, the Old Spice guy. I recently met him. I was saying it before I met him, but now that I met him, he and I really got along. I think he would be great. We're around the same age, we got a couple of pictures at Comic-Con, we looked cute together. I say do it. Why not?
And for Shirley's ex-husband, I think Craig Robinson would be hilarious. The visual of me and him together would be very funny, and he looks like someone that Shirley would have married. He's her kind of guy, I think.

Japan's first openly gay politician victorious in election
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Good news – perhaps we could arrange for Taiga Ishikawa to join us for the International Candle-lit vigil against hate crime that we are planning in October.
Per my son in law who is Japanes, Tokyo is the gay captial of the far east.
And Japan in a special case recognizes gay marriage. If between a Japanese citizen and a foreigner who are married where gay marriage is legal.
Be sure to get to London to protest professsionally and peacefully at the Royal wedding
IMHO Britain and btw Ireland are all but there re marriage for gays. Finland is in process of changing to marriage
and my son in law says that there is no religious animosity toward gays, eg the Godfather of Pedophilia of the catholic Chruch RAZTInger who hates gays with a passion.
The issue is Japan tends to be a conformist society.
But he predicts in 10 years gay marriage will be the law of the land in Japan.
And btw, there is even activity in Communist china. Not making the leadership happy, but at least no tianimen squares.
The problems my country – the USA. If it accepts gays as equals, then for all but the Muslimworld , gays will be accepted as equal worldwide
Add Denmark onto that list. They are filing in the big blank re RPs- giving gays full rights re adoption, including second parent adoption.
Cant be far behind, the last of the nordic countries (norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, to not have gay marriage.
The battle is son to be wond except in the HOMOphobic Hate states of America , my country, still really fighting our civil war, only with a new victim for the christian right wing and the godfather of pedophila.
Finally! A return to pre-Meiji times when Nanshoku was celebrated!
"Japan's first openly gay politician"?
Does Kanako Otsuji not count?
Too bad Tokyo's Governor Shintaro Ishihara is a homophobic pig.
If I recall from my studies, Japanese culture doesn't have as much an issue with homophobia, as it does with filial piety. Children are expected to meet the expectations of their parents, and their parents are expected to meet the expectations of their own parents. And men are expected to marry a proper wife (whether or not they are in love), and that will also help them advance their career in business. I even know gay Japanese men who expect their future is to marry a wife to help the advance of their lives. If sons break filial piety by making a life with a boyfriend, having let down one's parents is one of the worst cultural offenses.
Not surprisingly, Japan has one of the world's highest post-retirement divorce rates.
Not so different from Greece and Greek cultural expectations-one of Europe's least enlightened societies. Greek gays see themselves as "straight", are expected to marry, & many live at home with Papa and Mama until the wonderful day occurs. All this despite some 3,000 years of bisexual history, gay warriors and philosophers.
This confirms what I have heard of traditional Japanese culture. In days gone by men openly had boyfriends without anyone considering it odd, but they had to have wives and children as well. Apparently at one stage the Imperial authorities were troubled by the Samurai fighting over pretty young men – but because of the indiscipline, not the sexuality.
Good to hear!!
Bravo. Good news indeed.
A gay candidate is also currently standing in Singapore, outed by the sitting MP (and government minister) in a smear campaign.
sad to hear about the smear campaign, hopefully the correct person won

Is it a great company culture or just a collection of great talent?
Lots and lots of folks like to push 'culture' as the primary driver of organizational success. I have written and presented pretty extensively on why I think that's wrong. Check any of my 'Rock-Paper-Scissors' posts in case you are interested.
One of the many reasons I get a little skeptical about this 'cult of culture' is that by its very nature culture is hard to define, to measure, and hard to draw any kind of a direct (or even a dotted) line from culture to actual results. I'm not saying it's impossible, but just really, really, tough.
But another reason why culture gets too much emphasis is how easy it can be to confuse a great culture with what is really just a collection of great talent. This challenge was discussed, I think very effectively, on of all things an NBA podcast I was listening to recently, by ESPN writer Kevin Arnovitz on the July 6 episode of The Lowe Post Podcast. Lowe and Arnovitz were discussing the recent decision by NBA star Kevin Durant to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder and join the Golden State Warriors - a team famous for their 'culture'.
Here's Arnovitz' observations on culture v. talent, then some comments from me after the quotes:
On an NBA team is culture permanent? Or is it really just transient? Is it this fancy word people like us to describe what is really just a concentration of good talent, but it seems like culture? But actually what it is is just really good basketball players there? Which is why they (the Warriors) win, it's not because they have any special connection to the community of San Francisco like people like to talk about.
Steve here - I think these observations are spot on, especially in a business setting like an NBA team where individual talent and excellence plays such a critical role in organizational success. Said a little differently, it is almost impossible to achieve the highest level of team success in the NBA without at least one superstar player, and one or two other All-star caliber players. You simply can't win without that talent level no matter how fantastic your team's culture may be.
And I know that I get a fair bit of heat from folks for trying to make these kinds of HR/talent points using sports analogies, as some folks think that an NBA team and its dynamics offer little to us to learn from, back here in the real world. But I continue to think that they are valid ones to make, especially as more and more organizations and work teams have to rely on ideas, innovation, creativity, and quite simply talent, in order to succeed in a hyper-fast, hyper-competitive world.
Ask yourself some of the questions about your organization that Arnovitz hints at.
What would really drive increased performance at your shop? More talented people? Or a somehow 'better' culture?
Which one of those levers is easier for you to influence? To measure? To replicate?
This isn't about me trying to convince you that culture = bad and talent = good.
It's about making sure we keep both in mind, (along with Strategy, if we really want to get back to my Rock-Paper-Scissors take).
When you put 4 of the best 10 or 12 best basketball players in the world on the same team you are going to win A LOT of games. If at the same time you have a great culture, you may win one two extra games.
But the great culture without the great players? Good luck in the draft lottery next year.
Have a great week!

Groton — "It gets harder every time. It's very difficult. For us and for our families."
Saturday afternoon, Col. Al Wilcoxson had just gotten off one of three buses carrying a total of 100 soldiers from the Connecticut National Guard. Members of the Guard's 1109th Theater Aviation Sustainment Maintenance Group (TASMG) had returned to the Guard's aviation maintenance facility in Groton after 281 days' deployment in Kuwait and Afghanistan. The unit conducted aviation field maintenance, depot level aviation repairs and provided aircraft maintenance, contact teams and test pilots.
"But it's worth it all to see this. It reminds us why we went over there and what we have to be grateful for," said Wilcoxson, smiling and gesturing out not just at his own family but at a vast crowd of spouses, grandfolks, parents, children, friends and fellow Guard members — all on hand to welcome their loved ones back.
As the soldiers left each bus, they were greeted by a short, single-file handshake line that included Connecticut Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman and Maj. Gen. Thaddeus J. Martin, commander of the Connecticut National Guard. Then they broke rank to applause, cheers and cries of recognition, scattering through the crowd to hone in on their respective familial welcoming commitees.
"There are definitely no speeches or debriefing sessions," said Col. John R. Whitford, public affairs officer for the Connecticut National Guard. "This isn't the time or place. It wouldn't be right to keep their families at a distance. It's not fair. You get them off the bus and let them go. It is what it is — and that's important."
The 1109th TASMG arrived at Fort Dix in New Jersey about a week ago, and the bus convoy was scheduled to arrive at the facility at Groton-New London Airport around 11 a.m. Saturday. Because of traffic, they were almost an hour late. Family members and friends had started gathering by 10:30 a.m., and the hangar was festooned with bunting and JOB WELL DONE! banners.
Folks were spread across the tarmac just outside the yawning, open doors of the massive hangar. Hand-held posters, balloons and American flags were in abundance, and the crowd fairly glittered in the spring sunshine, dressed in everything from evening finery and red, white and blue shirt/tie/hat combos to biker T-shirts and flip-flops.
Just inside the hanger opening, the 102nd U.S. Army Band played celebratory material that spanned John Philip Sousa and "America the Beautiful" to "New York, New York."
Jamie Zummo of Mystic, clutching a small American flag, was waiting, along with three generations of family and friends, for his son, Alfonso Zummo, a helicopter repairman back from his first deployment.
"We're so grateful for Facebook," Zummo said with a nervous smile. "Four or five times a week, we were able to send messages or get to see him. It made it a little easier."
Zummo said it was hard not to dwell on the living conditions and whether Alfonso was in danger depending on where he might be on any given assignment.
"But we're very proud of him. The fact that he went over there to support our country is unbelievably great. And now he's almost home."
When asked what Alfonso might want to do upon arrival, Zummo's answer was instantaneous and assured.
"He said, 'Dad, I want to go home and I want to see my dog,'" Zummo said.
Indeed, there was more than one species in attendance; several dogs also waited on their masters to get off the buses. All behaved impeccably in a fashion that indicated honor, affection and the appropriate discipline one would expect from military training.
Chance, for example, a pug owned by Griswold's Kendall Remondi, an automated logistics specialist coming back from her first deployment, just seemed happy to be in a noisy, expectant crowd. For the duration of the deployment, Chance had been living with Kendall's identical twin sister Jessica.
Also in attendance: Remondi's mother, Lisa Moyer, and her husband, Larry Moyer, as well as a contingency of brothers, sisters and friends.
"In the beginning, I was just terrified," Lisa Moyer said. "But we'd email or talk on FaceTime and that made it easier. Plus, her boyfriend, Larry Davis, was also overseas, along with their friend Kyle Mish, so that made it a lot better knowing they were at least together."
As it neared noon and word spread that the convoy was getting close, the crowd began to inch out of the hangar. Two firetrucks were parked on opposite sides of the tarmac. From the tower of one hung a massive American flag. Atop the other, a fireman turned the hose on full spray in a high, heraldic arc as the three buses rolled under and into the compound, took a U-turn and pulled to a halt.
The soldiers disembarked — and the joyous melee began.
At the back of the crowd, Chance, on a short leash, wandered about the periphery of the crowd, sniffing and taking in sights and scents. Jessica began to try to get Chance's attention and point toward the buses.
A figure in military dress strode toward them. It was Kendall Remondi.
Finally, Chance looked up and, with a canine equivalent of a double-take, leaped up and against Kendall's knees. Kendall reached down, hoisted her dog to her neck, and the two hugged as the rest of the family swarmed around.
When the delighted dog was at last returned to earth, Kendall looked around at her loved ones.
"This is amazing," she said. "All I want to do is go home and be with everybody. It will be great to take a shower in my own bathroom. I want to drink a beer. And just relax."
With that, she leaned over and, once more, pulled Chance to her chest.
