I think I just tricked a bunch of guys at my work into thinking I'm car savvy.
They were all discussing different types of cars and one of them jokingly asked me what my dream car was.
Naturally, I said a black, '67 Chevy Impala.
They all got these really impressed and surprised looks on their faces and started nodding, saying things like "Yeah." "Nice choice." "That's a good one."
They think I'm a car person now.
i made a very important gif

Packers Fans – Do We All Think Like Ted Thompson Now?
Let's change the pace a little bit, let's talk about you.
Let's talk about you the fan.
Now that General Manager Ted Thompson has won a Super Bowl using the "Thompson Method ™", he can apparently do no wrong in the eyes of the fans. People who had been clamoring for years to get more veteran free agents and big name signings have quieted down, ready to admit the error in their ways and venerate the white-haired one. Even the most staunch Thompson hater is now ready to board the "draft and develop" bandwagon that Thompson preaches.
One interesting fact that I've noticed is that almost as adamantly as fans were criticizing him before he won a Super Bowl, fans are now just as adamantly supportive of him now that he has won one. Fans now seem to think the same way as Thompson now, which brings up a interesting question: are Packers fans now psychologically predisposed to think like Ted Thompson?
It's an interesting thought. If you are a Packers fan right now, you couldn't be happier and you'd like status quo to continue (repeat anyone?). Obviously Ted Thompson did something right to win a Super Bowl (right?), so it makes sense that people are following in Thompson's rationale now.

Combinatorial Creativity and the Myth of Originality
Editor's Note: The Innovations blog welcomes this "guest post" by Maria Popova, creator of the Brain Pickings blog.
There is a curious cultural disconnect between our mythology of spontaneous ideation – the Eureka! moment, the stroke of genius, the proverbial light bulb – and how "new" ideas actually take shape, amalgamated into existence by the combinatorial nature of creativity. To create is to combine existing bits of insight, knowledge, ideas, and memories into new material and new interpretations of the world, to connect the seemingly dissociated, to see patterns where others see chaos.
Celebrated creators – artists, writers, scientists, inventors – have always known the power of the synthesizing mind and have advocated for embracing the building blocks of combinatorial creativity. "Stuff your head with more different things from various fields," Ray Bradbury encouraged students in a 2001 address. "You should stay alert for the moment when a number of things are just ready to collide with one another," Brian Eno advised. "Creativity is just connecting things," Steve Jobs proclaimed. "Science," Darwin recognized, "consists in grouping facts so that general laws or conclusions may be drawn from them." "Substantially all ideas are second-hand," Mark Twain observed, "consciously and unconsciously drawn from a million outside sources, and daily use by the garnerer with a pride and satisfaction born of the superstition that he originated them."
Scientific advances in our understanding of the brain can corroborate this. In his book, Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain, neuroscientist David Eagleman distills the unconscious processing that takes place as we come up with an idea we call our own:
"When an idea is served up from behind the scenes, the neural circuitry has been working on the problems for hours or days or years, consolidating information and trying out new combinations. But you merely take credit without further wonderment at the vast, hidden political machinery behind the scenes."
Great scientists can speak to this empirically. Legendary French mathematician Henri Poincaré once described how he arrived at the discovery of a class of Fuchsian functions: "Ideas rose in crowds; I felt them collide until pairs interlocked, so to speak, making a stable combination."
Yet, no matter how much we know about the brain and the inner workings of creativity, the creative process itself will never be easy. Its most frustrating reality is that this crux of combinatorial creation – that magic moment when ideas click together and "make a stable combination" – cannot be forced. In fact, the more we consciously dwell on a problem that requires an innovative solution, the more likely we are to corner ourselves into the nooks of the familiar, entrenched in habitual patterns of thought that lead where they always have.
We can, however, optimize our minds for combinatorial creativity – by enriching our mental pool of resources with diverse, eclectic, cross-disciplinary pieces which to fuse together into new combinations. For creativity, after all, is a lot like LEGO – if we only have a few bricks of one shape, size, and color, what we build would end up dreadfully drab and uniform; but if we equip ourselves with a bag of colorful bricks of various shapes and sizes, the imaginative temples we build might appear to an onlooker to have been inspired by "a ray of grace," yet we need only look to our bag of LEGOs to be reminded from whence they came.

a long time since i looked at literature in creativity
having said that i was spurred by yr post to remember that if creativity is defined as something that is new and useful how can combinations explain the useful part?ta
mura -
2nd attempt at posting!
if creativity is defined as something that is novel and useful, how can combinations explain the useful part?
mura -
Usefulness is definitely NOT a requirement of creativity.
It seems to me that the question ought to be: "…how do combinations explain the 'novel' part?"
To observe pigeon creativity in action take a look at Robert Epstein's YouTube video on the Columbian Simulation Project done with B.F. Skinner in 1982. It is clearly "combinatorial". Also check out Epstein's book Cognition, Creativity, and Behavior.
Thank you for your description of the creative process. With a few of my acquaintances, who wonder where my creativity comes from, your observations will be a more satisfying answer than, "I keep the muse entertained".
Hmmm…. And the evidence for the subconscious process is precisely what? If it is subconscious then we don't know it, can't time it, or parse it's development or processes. What we have here then is mere speculation, asserted as fact. The bromides offered by ten thousand creative individuals are not made more plausible because they have been offered. We either know, consciously, or we guess. The two are not equal.
@Dennis: combinations trigger the process. What survives through a market or history is what works and usually is novel.
In summary: crowd -> combination -> ideation -> market/history filter -> recognized innovation
@Rafael Linden how do you define creativity? something that is only novel?
say we look at creativity simply as a two stage process of generation and selection, then combinations can explain some of the generation process but difficult to see how it can account for selection part?
@Ray Weitzman thanks for the youtube ref and book ref, though that book is certainly pricey!
anyone know good links to contemporary research? -
Everything in creation has the potential for creativity. The wind sculpting the sand into dunes, an Autumn maple leaf falling on a sidewalk, a dog with paint on its tail. Creativity is an integral part of the universe. The appreciation of creativity, however, is what makes humankind unique. The act of creation only begins the process. It takes a mind capable of understanding complexities, nuances and interactions to appreciate creativity. So, you see, I believe the author has a two- dimensional perception of creativity. Having said that …I agree with what Charlie Chaplain said, to paraphrase him … "I haven't much use for art that has to be explained to be appreciated."
Great post! As an historian, I'm found of the phrase: "myth of originality." One can't study history without seeing antecedents where others simply extol "originality."
I have mixed feelings about "combinatorial" as the primary metaphor. I also like "syncretistic." "Combine" makes me think of "hard" constituent forms. Sometimes I prefer to think of constituent forms as soft, malleable, porous, etc. They can be remolded and blended together into new forms. So yes, collage, hip hop or stew can be "original." But sometimes what comes out is best viewed as something less "assembled" or "combinatorial."
Perhaps I'm also thinking in terms of mechanistic versus organic metaphors.
Anyway, great post!
Creativity to me —is an insight that i was not aware—- and rejoice at its 'coming out ' —-i just rejoice at any new [?] insight.
Do you have any comments on the Zwicky Combinatorial Box?

His Beatitude Fouad Twal, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, was conferred a Doctorate in Theology, Honoris Causa by the Faculty of Theology of Paderborn, Westphalia (Germany) on Monday, May 9th. The Faculty announced on January 4th that the highest representative of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land would receive this honor for his great commitment to peace and reconciliation between religions and peoples of the Middle East.
Patriarch Twal dedicated the award to "all men of goodwill, the Middle East and the international community who are committed to building bridges of mutual understanding." In accepting the honor, he then said: "I think we Christian Arabs have an important role in the peace process. As Arabs, we have the same traditions, culture and language as our Muslim neighbors. At the same time we are Christians and have a Christian culture, which can perhaps be called Western culture. A possible bridge between Jews and Arabs caught in the conflict. There is a lack of attention on the part of the international community to recognize the role that we Christians have to play here. "
The Patriarch received many wishes and accolades, particularly from Professor Eckhard who donated €5, 000 for the Catholic university in Madaba (the Patriarch's hometown in Jordan). Pope Benedict XVI during his pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 2009, blessed the cornerstone of the university.
More than 40 Knights and Ladies of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre attended the Mass and awarding ceremony.

Sad-sack divorcée Cal Weaver (Steve Carell) finds his second wind in life after meeting a handsome young ladies' man who teaches him how to become a master of the modern dating scene. A devoted family man who married his high school sweetheart, Cal had a great house and a stable job when his wife, Emily (Julianne Moore), left him to be with another man. When Emily announces that she's filing for divorce, Cal finds himself awkwardly thrust into the dating scene and begins drinking his nights away at the local pub. Just when it's starting to look as if there's no hope for Cal, confirmed bachelor Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling) decides to add some much-needed excitement to the sulking, newly single father's life. Before long, Cal's rough edges have all been smoothed out; he's mastered the fine art of flirting and develops a distinct sense of style that sets him apart from the pack. But just as Cal starts to turn heads, his adolescent son, Robbie, develops a big crush on his teenage babysitter, Jessica. Unfortunately for Robbie, Jessica only has eyes for Cal. Meanwhile, Cal can't help but feel like something substantial is missing from his life, and decides that the only way to set things straight is by listening to his heart. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A conservative Presbyterian mother reaches out to the gay community for support after driving her homosexual son to suicide in this made-for-television movie adapted from Leroy Aaron's 1995 novel. Bobby Griffith (Ryan Kelley) hails from a devoutly Christian family. Lately Bobby's been questioning his own sexuality, and upon confiding this information to his older brother, the news quickly circulates to their parents and other siblings. While Bobby's father and siblings resolve to stand by him despite their opposition to his startling revelation, his mother Mary (Sigourney Weaver) believes that her son is committing a sin, and encourages him to change his ways with the help of the church. Despondent over his experiences in the church, Bobby decides that his best option is to move out of the family home, all the while hoping that his mother will find a means of accepting him for who he is. But Mary is staunch in her position, and when Bobby realizes he'll never live up to his mother's expectations he takes his own life. Devastated, Mary seeks consolation from her pastor but fails to find the answers she's looking for. In time, Mary begins a dialogue with the gay community, and discovers that sometimes support can come from the places we least expect. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Can a gay character actor find happiness with a disgraced Republican powerbroker? The actor seems to think so, even if no one else does, in this satiric mockumentary. Dan Butler is an actor who becomes the subject of a documentary by Phil Leirness, who's eager to look into the career of one of America's best supporting actors. During an interview, Butler explains to Leirness that he's become fascinated with the career of Republican political strategist Karl Rove, as he's a "supporting player" in the George W. Bush White House but is also one of the most important figures in the administration. Butler decides to create and stage a one-man-show about Rove, but since he knows next to nothing about him, Butler's first step is to start doing some research. The more Butler learns about Rove, the more fascinated he becomes, until he's developed a head-over-heels infatuation with the former presidential advisor, which begins taking both his show and his life down an increasingly strange path, with Leirness along for the ride. Karl Rove, I Love You was conceived, co-written and co-directed by Dan Butler, who cut his teeth as a director helming episodes of the television comedy series Frasier, where he was a regular cast member. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Monk: Mr. Monk Goes to the Hospital
Much against his will, Monk (Tony Shalhoub) checks into a hospital to be treated for a bloody nose. His mortal fear of being left alone in a hospital room is only exacerbated when Monk stumbles upon the body of a doctor who has been bludgeoned to death by an oxygen tank. The weapon belongs to an elderly patient who couldn't possibly have arisen from his sickbed to commit the crime, but he's the only suspect the police have. In his efforts to solve the murder, Monk not only learns the true significance of the old adage "physician heal thyself", but also ends up at the mercy of a killer who is fully prepared to "medicate" our hero into the next world. This is the final episode of Monk's fifth season. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Ken Hanes wrote the screenplay for this adaptation of his controversial play about a reporter who finds himself torn between the firmly held beliefs of two psychologists. Frank Johnston (Andrew Elvis Miller) is an investigative journalist who is involved in a long-term relationship with Dr. Jonathan Baldwin (Paul Provenza), a psychologist. Both Frank and Jonathan are have an interest in the work of Dr. Arthur Apsey (Dan Butler), another psychologist who has become controversial for his claims that he can "cure" gay men of their homosexual orientation. Jonathan thinks Apsey is a fraud, and Frank thinks there's an exposé
to be written about Apsey, so they come up with a plan: Frank will begin seeing Apsey as a patient, claiming he wants to be wants to be rid for his desires for other men, and Jonathan will use Frank's inside data on Apsey to reveal the flawed thinking behind his techniques. However, Frank soon discovers Apsey is shrewder than he imagined; it doesn't take long for the doctor to figure out what Frank is trying to do, and as he begins to question Frank, he forces the journalist to examine the flaws in his relationship with Jonathan that he's been willing to ignore, as well as poking holes in Frank's assumptions about Apsey's work. Fixing Frank was screened at the 2001 L.A. Outfest, a festival for gay- and lesbian-themed films. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

More Tales of the City
Armistead Maupin calls the three-story wooden house at 28 Barbary Lane in San Francisco "my homestead, my Tara." He began his portrait of Barbary Lane life during the '70s in a daily newspaper serial, expanding the material into a series of six novels. PBS aired the original TV miniseries in 1994, but threats and pressures prompted PBS to drop their plans for a follow-up, leaving an unresolved cliffhanger for four years. Several members of the original PBS cast were reunited for this six-part Showtime sequel (adapted from Maupin's second novel in the series), set in San Francisco of 1977. It picks up the threads of the story six weeks after the point where the PBS miniseries ended. When Mary Ann Singleton (Laura Linney), hoping for romance, and her cynical gay friend Michael (Paul Hopkins) take a Mexican cruise, Mary Ann meets amnesia victim Burke Andrew (Colin Ferguson) and Michael runs into his former lover, Dr. Jon Fielding (William Campbell). Michael's roommate Mona Ramsey (Nina Siemaszko), in a purple haze of pot and angel dust, answers phones at a Reno brothel owned by Mother Mucca (Jackie Burroughs). Mona learns about her lineage and also about Anna Madrigal (Olympia Dukakis), the former Mr. Madrigal. Rich widow Frannie (Diana LeBlanc) finds a cure for her depression at the rural resort Pinus, where society ladies celebrate their 60th birthdays with youthful houseboys. Beauchamp Day (Thomas Gibson) is married to Frannie's pregnant daughter DeDe (Barbara Garrick), but Beauchamp isn't the father. Locations include San Francisco, Montreal (substituting for some areas of San Francisco), and Zihuatanejo, Mexico. Premiered June 7, 1998 on Showtime. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Robert De Niro is Gil Renard, baseball fan from hell. Bobby Rayburn (Wesley Snipes) is the player he is nuts about. No sooner does the talented Rayburn sign a huge contract with the San Francisco Giants, than everything in his life goes horribly wrong. Not only does his field play deteriorate along with his batting average, but someone murders his chief team rival. It's not revealing too much to say that Gil killed him, in the mistaken belief that he was doing Bobby a favor. When superfan Gil insinuates himself into Bobby's everyday life, the situation grows much worse, because this fixated nut-case has some very strange ideas about family solidarity.

Milo O'Shea guest stars as Dr. Schachter, a "couples" specialist. During this particular session, the good doctor is counseling a most odd couple indeed -- namely, sibling psychiatrists Frasier and Niles Crane (Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde Pierce), whose relationship is in danger of collapsing. In flashbacks, Frasier and Niles woefully recall their foredoomed efforts to save money on office space by opening up a joint practice. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Frasier: Retirement Is Murder
Ex-cop Martin (John Mahoney) has but one profound regret in life: that he was never able to solve the "Weeping Lotus Murder," a baffling case involving a cop, a hooker, and a monkey. Now, after several decades, the case in on the verge of being solved -- not by Martin, who has obsessed over the murder for lo these many years, but by his son, Frasier (Kelsey Grammer). So as not to break his father's heart, Frasier arranges the existing evidence so that Martin will "accidentally" discover it. Only one problem: Frasier and Martin may not have arrived at the same solution. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Frasier: Roz in the Doghouse
KACL's gonzo sports-show host Bob "Bulldog" Briscoe (Dan Butler) asks Roz (Peri Gilpin) to become his producer. Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) is convinced that Bulldog is less interested in Roz's talents than in her body and says so in loud, snide, and snotty words. To spite Frasier, Roz decides to accept the job -- even though she knows full well that the libidinous Bulldog yearns to collar her in a dark corner of his doghouse. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Action for M.E. – the UK's largest CFS/ME charity – launched a new research strategy in November based on the priorities identified by patients. We asked the Charity's Chief Executive, Sonya Chowdhury, about the new strategy and also about the commitment to greater patient involvement. By Russell Fleming and Simon McGrath.
Charities have always connected with patients – many were founded by patients and are supported with patient help, but few have tried to give patients a voice when it comes to decision making.
Action for M.E. is working to do just that, a task made far more practical by the internet: consultation has never been so easy, so fast or so cheap.… Read More

Exhibition Road – one of London's most popular tourist destinations – has finally completed the works to transform into a shared space street. ,A shared space street is exactly as the name suggests – automobiles, bicycles and pedestrians all sharing the space, with few on-road markings to separate them. Though this may sound like an odd idea, similar schemes in European cities have been successful in reducing collisions, with road users paying more attention to their surroundings and travelling at a slower speed.
But can this work in a city like London, where car is king? The team from one of our favourite blogs, thisbigcity, visited Exhibition Road in November to check out the completed project, and again last weekend to see how it was settling in.
Read their blog post here: London's take on shared space.

When she was a young girl, Callie Graham of Bailey escaped the frustrations associated with dyslexia by entering her "art world."
Now, at age 15, art is the dominant theme in her world — and the arena where she excels.
Callie's drawings are on display in "The Dreams Within Us," an exhibit at Shadow Mountain Gallery in Evergreen. The 15-year-old's work — pencil drawings primarily of characters from "Lord of the Rings" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" — will be on exhibit until April 21.
Did you ever wish there was a book that could tell you everything you need to know to be successful in life? In the case of StageDoor Theatre's upcoming production of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," the talented high school players don't need a book to succeed. This silly and satirical production pokes fun at corporate culture and effortlessly transports the audience straight back to the skinny ties and A-line dresses of the "Mad Men" era.
For many people, art and science don't mix. However, scientists and artists have shared an interdisciplinary connection for centuries. Artists relied upon the work of biologists to learn how to properly depict anatomic details of the animal kingdom. Conversely, scientist relied on artists' works as a teaching guide to illustrate scientific texts. In an upcoming Evergreen exhibit by microbiologist-turned-photographer Michael Gabridge, viewers will see that the boundaries between art and science, while once believed to be conventionally steadfast, are unexpectedly fluid.
In the wake of a tempestuous election season, it's comforting and inspiring to reflect upon the beginnings of our nation. The Evergreen Chorale, in its latest production of the musical "1776," provides us with the opportunity to travel back in time to witness the fights, debates and compromises that led to the founding of our country. The show also reminds us that one can always find much humor in the serious business of creating and running a country.
Jack Lima blames his mother for his obsession with Native American art. "She had this arrowhead that I coveted when I was 5 years old. I wanted to know everything about it. Who made? Why did they use it? But I had to get married and open a gallery before she would give it to me," says Lima.

Natasha Trethewey '89 to deliver University of Georgia Charter Lecture
Natasha Trethewey '89, U.S. poet laureate for 2012-2013, will deliver the University of Georgia Charter Lecture as one of the signature events during UGA's Spotlight on the Arts festival scheduled for November 3-11. Trethewey will speak November 8 at 2 p.m. in the Chapel with a public reception immediately following in Demosthenian Hall.
Trethewey's UGA connections date back to her undergraduate days, when she earned a degree in English from the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences in 1989 before pursuing a master's degree in poetry from Hollins University and an M.F.A. in poetry from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
In addition to the UGA Press publishing her 2010 memoir Beyond Katrina, Trethewey has been a contributor to The Georgia Review. This year, The Georgia Review is sponsoring her appearance and that of several other Georgia writers, including new Georgia Poet Laureate Judson Mitcham, at the Georgia Literary Festival at Jekyll Island, where Trethewey will deliver the keynote address on November 10.
In 2011, Trethewey was inducted into the Georgia Writers Hall of Fame, created by the UGA Libraries, and she is a two-time winner of the Lillian Smith Book Award, also administered by the UGA Libraries.
Trethewey will be the first-ever poet laureate to take up residence in Washington, D.C., and work directly in the Library of Congress's Poetry and Literature Center. Her term begins this month and coincides with the 75th anniversary of both the poet laureate position and the Poetry and Literature Center.
Thethewey has established herself as one of the premier poets and professors, not only in Georgia, but, in the nation. I am honored to have her back on campus to deliver the Charter Lecture. I am eager to see the product of her continued success and wish her well during her tenure in D.C. next year. The Bulldog Nation is proud of our accomplishments!

Focus on the Faculty: Kyle Johnson
Each month, I would like to feature a member of UGA's outstanding faculty. While I am proud to share the achievements of our alumni and students, those accomplishments would not be possible without the guidance and support of the faculty members they interacted with during their time on campus.
Today, I'd like to begin with Kyle Johnson, an assistant professor in the College of Engineering.
Despite Johnson being a Triple Gator from the University of Florida, Johnson elected to join the faculty here at the University of Georgia. He cites a few reasons for that decision:
"The boundary-less Faculty of Engineering (now the College of Engineering) fit perfectly with my cross-disciplinary research, which is a hybrid of computer engineering, computer science and education research. I also had the honor of being one of the first faculty members hired as part of the Faculty of Engineering, which began offering a computer systems engineering degree at the same time I was hired. Finally, the opportunity to be on the ground floor of a new college at a top-tier research institution does not come along very often. It was perfect, though I certainly have had to set aside the Florida versus Georgia rivalry!"
We'll let Johnson's allegiance to the orange and blue pass because of his great work here in Athens. The courses Johnson teaches include "Virtual Reality," "Intro to Computer Systems Engineering," "Sensor Networks" and "Capstone Senior Design." He notes that his senior-level virtual reality course is his favorite because students learn to design, build and demonstrate innovative simulators and virtual experiences. He's seen a variety of projects come through his classroom, including an underwater oil pipeline repair simulator to an augmented reality zombie fighting game. He enjoys helping students create products that they can talk about and even take with them on job interviews.
In his free time, Johnson has set up his research lab to be an interactive attraction for external groups, especially those that work with school-aged children. According to Johnson, "It's incredibly fulfilling to see the wonderment in the eyes of children experiencing virtual reality for the first time."
Thank you for your commitment to inspiring UGA students, Kyle, and thank you for being a part of the faculty that brought the College of Engineering to fruition. Keep up the great work!

Dwayne Bass (AB '98) saves the planet one sculpture at a time
Dwayne Bass (AB '98) is saving the planet one sculpture at a time. Bass (AB '98) founded TWOvital, a company that creates awareness of environmental issues and promotes sustainability through its art. The photographer and sculptor transforms trash from construction sites, such as scraps of wood and metal, into sustainable works of arts.
In 2008, Bass created the first-ever sculpture to receive credits under the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED certification program. Using one of TWOvital's sculptures is worth a LEED credit for developers and builders seeking LEED certification in their projects.
For Bass, creating beautiful works of art from reclaimed materials was not a new endeavor. "I have been making things from leftover or broken items since I was a kid. I made a car out of a broken tape deck when I was about six. I was always fascinated with taking something that is broken and making it into something it was not intended to be," he said.
From his interest with sustainable art, Bass also created RUBBLOX, a line of furniture crafted from recycled car tires. For information about Bass's work, visit twovital.com.
Thank you, Dwayne, for your commitment to improving the environment and representing UGA so well.

A Florida couple's early morning stop at a station turned into a memory they'll never forget.
Their son was born right next to the gas pumps.
John Tester helped his wife,Shelly, deliver their baby boy this morning at a gas station in Longwood.
They were trying to make it to the hospital, but the baby couldn't wait.
So, Tester pulled his pickup truck into the gas station and called for help.
The newborn, named Colton, and his mom are both doing well.

The Literary Influence of the Middle Ages
§ 17. The Rowley Imposture.
The poems attributed to Thomas Rowley are Elizabethan, where they are not later, in style; the spelling is freely imitated from the worst fifteenth century practice; the vocabulary is taken largely from Speghts glossary to Chaucer, from Kerseys
Dictionarium Anglo-Britannicum
(1708) and Baileys
Universal Etymological Dictionary
(1737). Chatterton does not seem to have cared much for Chaucer except as an authority for old words; he studied the glossary, not the text, and does not imitate Chaucers phrasing. His poetry and his medieval tastes are distinct; his poetry is not medieval, and his medieval fictions (like those of Scott, to a great extent) are derived from admiration of the life and manners, from architecture and heraldry, from the church of St. Mary Redcliffe, from the black-letter Bible in which he learned to read, and from the appearance of the old parchments which his father took from Canynges coffer in the neglected muniment room of the church. His grandfather and great-grandfather had been sextons there, and the church was the ancestral home of his imagination, the pride of Brystowe and the Westerne lande. The child made an imaginary Bristol of the fifteenth century, with personages who were seen moving about in it and distinctly known to him; the childhood of Sordello in Brownings poem is the same sort of life as Chattertons. As he grew out of childhood and became a poet with a mastery of verse, he still kept up his fictitious world; his phantom company was not dispersed by his new poetical knowledge and skill, but was employed by him to utter his new poetry, although this was almost wholly at variance with the assumed age and habit of Thomas Rowley and his acquaintances. The Rowley poems are not an imitation of fifteenth century English verse; they are new poetry of the eighteenth century, keeping wisely, but not tamely, to the poetical conventions of the time, the tradition of heroic versewith excursions, like those of Blake, into the poetry of Shakespeares songs, and one remarkable experiment (noted by Watts-Dunton) in the rhythm of
with likeness to Scott and Byron:
Then each did don in seemlie gear,
What armour eche beseemd to wear,
And on each sheelde devices shone
Of wounded hearts and battles won,
All curious and nice echon;
With many a tassild spear.
But this,
The Unknown Knight
(which is not in the early editions of the Rowley poems), is an accident. Chatterton had here for a moment hit on one kind of verse which was destined to live in the next generation; but neither in the principal Rowley poems nor in those avowedly his own does he show any sense of what he had found or any wish to use again this new invention.
Thomas Chatterton was born in November, 1752, and put to school at Colstons hospital when he was nine; in 1765, he was apprenticed to a Bristol attorney. In April, 1770, his master released him, and he came to London to try his fortune as an author and journalist. He had been a contributor to magazines for some time before he left home, and possessed very great readiness in different kinds of popular writing. He got five guineas for a short comic opera,
The Revenge
(humours of Olympus), and seems to have wanted nothing but time to establish a good practice as a literary man. He does not seem to have made any mistake in judging his own talents; he could do efficiently the sort of work which he professed. But he had come to a point of bad luck, and his pride and ambition would not allow him to get over the difficulty by begging or sponging; so he killed himself (24 August, 1770).
The nature of his impostures is now fairly well ascertained. They began in his childhood as pure invention and imaginary life; they turned to schoolboy practical joking (the solemn bookish schoolboy who pretends to a knowledge of magic or Hebrew is a well-known character); then, later, came more elaborate jokes, to impose upon editors
Saxon Atchievements
is irresistibleand, then, the attempt to take in Horace Walpole with
The Ryse of Peyncteyning in Englande writen by T. Rowleie 1469 for Mastre Canynge,
a fraud very properly refused by Walpole. The Rowley poems were written with all those motives mixed; but of fraud there was clearly less in them than in the document for the history of painting, because the poems are good value, whatever their history may be, whereas the document is only meant to deceive and is otherwise not specially amusing.
Chatterton was slightly influenced by Macpherson, and seems to have decided that the Caledonians were not to have all the profits of heroic melancholy to themselves. He provided translations of Saxon poems:
The loud winds whistled through the sacred grove of Thor; far over the plains of Denania were the cries of the spirits heard. The howl of Hubbas horrid voice swelled upon every blast, and the shrill shriek of the fair Locabara shot through the midnight sky.
There is some likeness between Macpherson and Chatterton in their acknowledged works: Macpherson, in his poems
The Hunter
The Highlander,
has great fluency with the heroic verse, and in prose of different sorts he was a capable writer. The difference is that Chatterton was a poet, with every variety of music, seemingly, at his command, and with a mind that could project itself in a hundred different waysa true shaping mind. Nothing in Chattertons life is more wonderful than his impersonality; he does not make poetry out of his pains or sorrows, and, when he is composing verse, he seems to have escaped from himself. His dealing with common romantic scenery and sentiment is shown in the quotation above from
Elinoure and Juga;
he makes a poetical use of melancholy motives, himself untouched, or, at any rate, undeluded.

text: Southern Sudan: MSF Responds to Kala Azar OutbreakNovember 5, 2009Sudan 2007 © Susan Sandars/MSF Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is responding to outbreaks of kala azar—a severe parasitic disease—in Southern Sudan.

This past April 22nd was Earth Day 2011, and it's official theme was A Billion Acts of Green. The basic idea is that, if at least a billion of us each pledged to perform some relatively simple "act of green", we'd all be that much closer to a greener, more sustainable world. Here are examples of three simple, relatively low cost (lightweight, if you…

In my last two posts, I described some basic water conservation measures we've taken at the Poole Ancestral Homestead. We'll return to that topic in the near future. But for now, I've turned my attention to optimizing our home's use of electric power.

They say a long journey begins with a few small steps. Yesterday, I unofficially initiated the long-term energy retrofit of the Poole Ancestral Homestead by simply installing a water saving showerhead.

Thanks, John. Back at you!
What's going on this week? I thought about you when I was in Savannah the week before last. Maybe you and I could co-write a blog post about brining energy efficiency to historic homes.
What do you think?
Hey John! I would love to take a look at what you come up with. I've heard of a lot of people struggling with historic district review boards about making energy upgrades to their homes. The debate is a tough one, but I know we can find common ground. I think we'll get there through education. This is a great place to start!
Where is the presentation going to be? And, will it be recorded?!?!?! Would love to see that. Any chance I could get a copy of the presentation after the event?
Well done, John! Congrats!
BTW, I'm really looking forward to the discussions on the Historic Home Group!
I may not have said anything to you before, but went through Preservation Field School at the University of Hawai'i. I'm a big fan of preservation work, and would like to do a loooooooot more.

Poached Pear Galettes
Galettes are very thin discs of flaky pastry which, unlike conventional tarts, have no sides. The concept is a good one because the pastry is barely there, yet it gives a light, very crisp background to all kinds of toppings, both savoury and sweet. There's no limit to what you can put on top of them – the combinations are endless, and you can serve them for a light lunch, as a first course, on a picnic or for a dessert. What I often do is freeze the pastry circles raw, interleaved with foil or greaseproof paper, so you can just whip some out for an impromptu meal any old time at all. If you don't have the right-sized cutter, just cut around a saucer of the same size. These are exceptionally pretty to look at, and I like to serve them as a sweet ending to a special meal.

You will also need two 12 x 10 inch (30 x 25.5 cm) solid baking sheets, lightly greased, and a 4 inch (10 cm) plain pastry cutter. |
This recipe is taken from How to Cook Book One.
Make the pastry and chill for 30 minutes in the fridge. Meanwhile, find a lidded saucepan that will fit the pears comfortably, laying them in the pan on their sides.
Now mix the wine with the sugar and pour this over the pears, then add the cinnamon stick and vanilla pod. Put the lid on the pan and gently simmer the pears for 45 minutes, until tender when tested with a skewer.
Turn them over halfway through the cooking time so the other half sits in the wine and they colour evenly. Towards the end of the cooking time, pre-heat the oven to gas mark 7, 425°F (220°C).
Then roll the pastry out on a lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick and cut it into six 4 inch (10 cm) circles, then arrange them on the baking sheets. Now lift the pears from the liquid and halve them by first making a slit in the stalk as you press it on to a flat surface.
Then stand each pear upright and cut through the split stalk, halve the pears and remove the cores. Now you need to slice each half into a fan, so take a sharp knife and, starting from the top of the stalk end, about ½ inch (1 cm) in, slice the pear downwards and at a slight angle so you end up with the slices of pear fanning out but still attached to the stalk. Now place each half pear on to a pastry base and fan it out, then place the baking sheets in the oven for 10-12 minutes, one on the top shelf, the other on the next one down, swapping them over halfway through the cooking time.
Meanwhile, you need to reduce the poaching liquid, so first remove the cinnamon stick and vanilla pod, then place the saucepan over a high heat and let it bubble for about 5 minutes. Then, in a cup, mix the arrowroot with a little cold water until you have a smooth paste, then add this to the saucepan, whisking with a balloon whisk all the time. This will thicken the sauce slightly, then remove it from the heat and leave it to cool. When the tarts are ready, remove them from the oven.
Serve hot or cold but, just before serving, pour a little of the syrup over each tart to give them a pretty glaze.

Problem Solver: Cracked Nails
Cracked nails and brittle nails can be caused by too much exposure to water and too many manicures. To keep your nails healthy and strong, a little prevention goes a long way.
By the editors at Daily Glow
Cracked nails can be more than just a cosmetic problem. Strong fingernails help protect the tips of your fingers and allow you to pick up small objects; cracked or brittle nails can make that more difficult. Nails are made up of laminated layers of a protein called keratin. They grow from the nail bed, located under the cuticle, and their growth is slow. In fact, it takes four to six months for a fingernail to completely regenerate.
Healthy nails are smooth, without ridges, grooves, spots, or discolored areas. Many nail conditions are superficial, including spots, which are usually caused by an injury and will eventually grow out; and vertical ridges, which are a normal part of aging. Aging is also a factor in nails becoming more brittle, as is spending too much time with your hands in water (washing dishes, for example, or soaking in the tub).
Preventing Cracked Nails
In most cases, all it takes to keep your nails healthy is an ounce of prevention. Try the following strategies:
- Don't bite your nails or your cuticles. This can harm the nail bed (the skin beneath the nail). And getting even a small cut next to a fingernail can lead to an infection.
- Trim fingernails with a sharp manicure scissors or clippers so they're short and rounded on top. Clip hangnails instead of pulling them off.
- Wear rubber gloves when washing dishes or using harsh cleaning products.
- Avoid spending long periods of time soaking in the tub - long exposure to water can result in brittle nails that peel. If you absolutely must take that nice long bath, keep your hands out of the water.
- Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Apply moisturizer to your nails and cuticles every time you wash your hands, as well as after showers or baths. For extra protection, moisturize your nails at bedtime, then wear cotton gloves to bed.
- Give overly frequent manicures a pass; the products involved can make nails brittle. Once a week is plenty.
- Apply a nail hardener, but not one that contains toluene sulfonamide or formaldehyde. These can irritate the skin. Use nail glue or clear polish to fix splits to tears.
- Use nail polish remover sparingly. Instead of removing polish, touch it up. When you do need to take off old polish, use polish removers that don't contain acetone, which can make fingernails dry, resulting in cracked nails.
- Contrary to popular myth, eating more protein or calcium doesn't help strengthen your nails; neither does eating gelatin or soaking your fingertips in it.
How to Fix a Cracked Nail
You can repair the crack at home if the crack does not extend to the nail bed.
- Cut open a tea bag and dump out the loose tea.
- Cut the tea bag to fit your nail. You can cut enough to cover the crack, but covering your entire nail will make it stronger and give you even coverage.
- Place the tea bag on your nail. Cover with nail polish to adhere the tea bag to your nail. You can use clear or any color if your nails are already painted.
- Let the polish dry completely.
- Trim your nail as needed as it grows out. You will need to replace the tea bag when you change your nail polish.
Treating Cracked Nails
If self-help doesn't help, consult your doctor for additional suggestions. Some nail conditions can be a sign of health problem. Nails with yellow discoloration may point to a respiratory condition or an infection beneath the fingernail. Nails pulling away from the nail bed could be a sign of psoriasis or problems with medications. And horizontal depressions may result from an injury or an illness that requires treatment.
In most cases, all cracked nails need is a little TLC. Treat your fingernails to some kindness, and they'll stay strong and healthy.
