This collection contains the first four mystery novellas in the Lost and Found Pets series. Alexandra Prescott is a licensed private investigator specializing in finding missing animals. Reuniting pet and owner is more than just a job. The Lost Great Dane While looking for a lost cat, Alex finds a weak and injured Great Dane. The dog has no collar, no tags, and no microchip. And the only person looking for him is a man who might have murdered his own wife. Within 24 hours, Alex has a hunted dog, a cryptic message, and a hitman after her. She realizes the only way out of this mess is to solve the mystery of the lost Great Dane. The Lost Savannah Alex is hired to find a lost Savannah, a rare and expensive cat breed. She quickly learns the cat isn't just missing. The cat was stolen. The main suspect is the next door neighbor who is obsessed with Savannahs and the game of golf. Soon Alex discovers a black market ring in the world of fanatic Savannah cat breeders. She has to dust off her rusty investigative skills to solve the mystery of the lost Savannah. The Lost Spaniel When Alex's mentor, Eddie Hill, calls about his lost Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Alex rushes to the rescue. They quickly track the dog to an abandoned construction site, but after bullets start flying, Alex realizes there's more to this case than a missing dog. Alex and Eddie have to dig into their pasts to find out who might want to harm them or their pets. The list of suspects grows long as Alex tries to solve the mystery of the lost Spaniel. The Lost Macaw A former client hires Alex to find her lost parrot. The bright colored bird has flown away before, but this time there is evidence that Molly was kidnapped. The demand is simple—the bird for the pictures. When her client suffers a stroke, Alex is left with a ransom note, a missing bird, and some very incriminating photos. She is in a race against time to solve the mystery of the lost Macaw.
In the heart-warming Lost and Found, discover tales from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home that celebrate the power of animals to transform people's lives. We hear from the young boy whose Battersea dog helped him to deal with a serious autoimmune disease, and from a woman whose Staffie was the friend who got her through cancer. We meet the couple who were brought together by a Battersea dog; the man who took on a three-legged kitten which changed his life; and the former Battersea hound who became a search and rescue dog. Read these and many other powerful stories from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home. Lost and Found has something for dog and cat lovers alike, and is perfect reading for fans of A Streetcat Named Bob and Paul O'Grady's For The Love Of Dogs. Battersea Dogs & Cats Home is the UK's oldest and most famous home for dogs and cats. The Home aims never to turn away a dog or cat in need of help, reuniting lost dogs and cats with their owners or caring for them until new homes can be found. Battersea also works to educate the public about responsible pet ownership. Every year the Home cares for over 9,000 lost, abandoned and neglected dogs and cats, and in 2010 the home marked its 150th anniversary.
Zoe is looking forward to her teenage years. Her best friend, Hope, is a little sensitive about her weight and Daniel has problems with social interaction. Together they are The Awesome Lost and Found Society. Their adventures involve family members, a farmer, a gypsy couple at the local fair, a cat lady and a thief. The three friends learn about the value of teamwork and achieve personal growth during the summer that turns out to be anything but 'boring'.
Wanted: One amazing forever home for one amazing sixth grader."My name is Gaby, and I'm looking for a home where I can invite my best friend over and have a warm breakfast a couple of times a week. Having the newest cell phone or fancy clothes isn't important, but I'd like to have a cat that I can talk to when I'm home alone." Gaby Ramirez Howard loves volunteering at the local animal shelter. She plays with the kittens, helps to obedience train the dogs, and writes adoption advertisements so that the strays who live there can find their forever homes: places where they'll be loved and cared for, no matter what. Gaby has been feeling like a bit of a stray herself, lately. Her mother has recently been deported to Honduras and Gaby is stuck living with her inattentive dad. She's confident that her mom will come home soon so that they can adopt Gaby's favorite shelter cat together. When the cat's original owners turn up at the shelter, however, Gaby worries that her plans for the perfect family are about to fall apart.
The Lost Savannah is the second novella in the Lost and Found Pets series. Alexandra Prescott is a licensed private investigator specializing in finding missing animals. Reuniting pet and owner is more than just a job. Alex is hired to find a lost Savannah, a rare and expensive cat breed. She quickly learns the cat isn't just missing. The cat was stolen. The main suspect is the next door neighbor who is obsessed with Savannahs and the game of golf. Soon Alex discovers a black market ring in the world of fanatic Savannah cat breeders. She has to dust off her rusty investigative skills to solve the mystery of the lost Savannah.
From the silent horror of an image-obsessed teenager starving herself to perfection to the hilarious humilations of a freshman forced to endure fencing class, each of these stories is a very personal and creative response to a simple question: Where do writers get their ideas? The answer? Anywhere and everywhere. Each story was specially commissioned for this collection, and included an introductory essay by the author explaining the story's origins in the author's life--and its significance. Contributors include: Jerry Spinelli, Betsty Byars, Paul Zindel, Jon Scieszka, T.A. Barron, Tamora Pearce, Mary Ann McGuigan, Lois Metzger, Mel Glenn, Joyce Hansen, Rich Wallace, Joan Abelove and Eleanora E. Tate.

A balance between clinical and beauty
Restylane is a world leader in injectable aesthetic treatments. The Studio is a long-term strategic partner, having developed anything from graphic identity, packaging, websites and collateral material to books and trade fair booths.
Strategic insights lead to a shift in marketing focus and the integration of a new communicative dimension: the end consumer. Building on the existing rational, clinical attributes, an emotional set of associations connected to the world of beauty was developed.
Restylane is a pioneer in the field of injectable aesthetic treatments. The breakthrough discovery of Restylane in 1996 was to stabilize hyaluronic acid – a substance naturally found in our tissue – into a gel that does not dissipate from the body for six to nine months. Today, Restylane treatments can be had in more than 60 countries worldwide, and the brand is a market leader in an industry that turns over several billion USD annually.
The Studio is a long-term strategic design partner for Restylane, having developed graphic guidelines, collateral material, imagery, numerous campaigns, websites, films and trade fair booths. The Studio has played a key strategic role in the co-development of two fundamental insights that have since become the natural foundation for all marketing communication for the brand: 1) demand must be created from the end user, the patients, not only the physicians and clinics, and 2) in order to combat both preconceived ideas of the industry and fierce competition, while at the same time justify the relatively high price, all marketing material, graphic design and imagery must communicate premium quality and exclusivity. One result of those two insights was to balance the rational attributes from the clinical world in the communication and develop an emotional set of associations connected to the world of beauty. This was reflected in a new photographic manner as well as in the graphic identity.
The Studio also developed and produced (as well as came up with the idea for) the so-called "Before and After" books for Restylane. The books have become the standard for how treatment results in the aesthetic industry can be displayed in an attractive, informative and appealing way. The Studio has produced a number of subsequent editions, along with supporting material such as filmed interviews with patients, reportage-style behind-the-scenes footage and campaign websites.

So, we broke the quarter million words milestone, GET went to A22 with the word "plain", coincidentally in the same scene that completed Act 2 for the last path that was still in writing process of the second act.
Other than that, the script alpha for the demo began today (as in, the build got locked and upped to server), but Tc will try to get us a few more testers during this week cause we have good applications and more testers = better. We are trying to scrounge the background source photos while the script alpha and character art production is underway to get everything together at more or less the same time.
I saw someone mentioning porting to DS the other day whilst passing by the channel, and thought nothing else of it.
It's strange to think that amongst all of the bickering, the late nights finishing scripts, the endless nonesense in the public channel and whatnot that we're actually making something that other humans will willingly read and adapt.

Q: How to change Subject property of Certificate Signing Request programmatically? I am implementing Windows MDM. In this, Device sends CSR which is PKCS#10 Certificate request.
When I go to http://certlogik.com/decoder, and decode this CSR,I get Subject as
"CN=B1C43CD0-1624-5FBB-8E54-34CF17DFD3A1\00"
This "\00", we want to remove from subject property.Because of this we are not able to install company hub app during enrolment.
I want to change this subject to any value such as "CN=myMDM".How can I change Subject property of CSR?

A: It is permissible to have a certificate subject differ from the subject of the PKCS#10 (i.e. CSR). See the -subj option to OpenSSL's 'req' command.
For reasons behind this ability, consider this; Your CSR is signed by your private key. The signature is used to verify that the contents of the CSR have not been modified (this includes the subject). Your public key is included in the CSR. A CA creates your cert and uses whatever parts of the CSR subject it sees fit. The cert, along with the CA-specified subject and the public key from your CSR is signed by the private key of the CA. This signature is used to verify that the contents of your cert have not been modified (this includes the CA-specified subject).

A: You cannot change it once you have the certificate request, as CSR's should be signed with your private key, and the signing is definitely including the subject line.
So if you change anything you need to resign, which requires you to parse the CSR. So basically you should rebuild your CSR and simply strip off the character with value 00 (null terminator character) when you supply your common name (CN).
You are left with the following options:

*

*correctly generate the CSR, as explained above,

*change the CSR, removing the zero valued byte and recalculating all the lengths, and skip verification,

*create a special certificate creator that puts the correct subject like out of the CSR after verifying or skipping the signature verification of the CSR;

One of the biggest and most ridiculous lies spun by the UK press is that the Brexit vote was some kind of 'working class rebellion' – led by Jacob Rees-Mogg, Viscount Rothermere and Boris Johnson – against the 'establishment'.
The truth is, of course, that the most working class parts of the UK were Remain strongholds: Liverpool, Glasgow, Manchester, Peckham, Newcastle etc.
And more than 60% of these supposedly working-class anti-establishment campaigners were educated at public schools and are from the south of England.
Reblogged this on say what?.
And virtually none came from Scotland.
Isn't this the reason we need to concentrate on exposing them, the Tories are the main problem brexit is the sideshow designed to distract all attention away from them, and most are being led by the nose.
The Tories will crash out taking this to the wire, whilst others are dithering over something that only the Tories and DUP can sort out. They are the ones in government, the rest of us are on the sidelines just spectating, although some also want to detract away from the real issues facing all of us by blaming Jeremy Corbyn for everything.
The EU is no longer a social democracy and those that campaign to stay in are 30 years out of date. Why do people think all across Europe protesters are wearing yellow vests, and no they are not just fascists.
The fact is the majority of England voted out, except for inner cities.Scotland on the whole voted remain and wales was leave on a very narrow majority.
Both traditional working class, ethnics from commonwealth and Tories alongside businesses and farmers cheesed off at being messed around by Brussels voted Leave.
The remainers are the large mushroom of middle class intellectuals teachers and liberals.
On that the lower working class and traditional British working class and Tory are united OUT! as both are more nationalistic and patriotic than the middle.
It is very easy to decide the leave rested on stupid lower working class white people, It takes more than a few Monty Python Dereks in knotted handkerchief headdress and rolled up trousers and braces to vote OUT nationally.
The truth is the people voting to leave were in traditional labour supporting areas, the metropolitans may consider they are the only important people but the ones who wanted out are the ones who gain nothing from membership of the corrupt democratically deficient eu, but lose a lot, the ones whose jobs have disappeared in the small and moderate sized town which have essentially become dormitory towns to feed the large metropolitan complexes it is the little guys who rose up, the t is why the elite are doing their utmost to ignore the largest mandate ever handed to a government to do something, which is leave the eu. Labour voters voted out not the tory elite.
Henry Rumold Scotland has a total population 2 million less than that of London, so the vote was a tiny proportion of Great Britain and Northern Ireland which is the member not the individual nations, out of GB, and NI would mean out of the eu, Northern Ireland will not vote to join Ireland to be in the eu.
A large portion of remainers including myself, my parents and my uncle are working class.
The leave campaign including the "Labour Leave" campaign was funded by the Tory elite. They voted out. They managed to con about a third of labour supporters into following them but the vast majority of Labour supporters voted remain.
On the talk of Ireland, the DUP are correct that the current surveys suggest that a majority of the NI people want to remain part of the UK, however those same surveys also say that should the UK leave the EU there will be a shift giving a united Ireland an edge over remaining in the UK and should a hard border ensue a united Ireland gains a 16 point lead over staying in the UK.
If brexit has told us nothing else it has shown that the Westminster government is corrupt and democratically deficient, not the EU.
If what you say is true, politically it will put Labour in a stronger position because we wouldn't have a perpetual flow of right wing politicians taking their seats in parliament.
I would of course not want to see that happen because we really don't know how it would all end.
Should not Richard Drax appear in that group. I have lost count how many times I have driven past that long wall on the boundary of his Dorset estate.
Nicola barnes like so many middle class labour supporters is ignoring the government statistics that showed the overwhelming majority of leave votes came in traditional Labour Party supporting areas, that is a simple fact that annoys the hell out of the not so working class.
Meryl Davids has missed a thing or three.
The age and education demographics of the vote tend to support that standard of education and age played a part with those most open to suggestion from elements of the media Voted leave.
The old industrial heartlands have been particularly badly served by politicians, of all stripes, but The Sun (and other wayward organs) has ensured many have amnesia about the vicious nature of Tory policies in that area.
That was then, now the reality of likely vote would be for remain, as the dubious nature of the Leave campaign and the economic and other downsides of a Brexit are more widely understood.
Brexit can no longer be described as 'the will of the people' if it ever was which is doubtful and anybody still sticking to that line, including the PM, is being disingenuous.
Claims that only eight people turned up look to be unkind. However, an audience of 20-25 people in a city region of 1.4 million or so people that voted heavily in favour of remaining in the EU is hardly stellar. There appears to be no evidence to support the campaign's claim of 'at least 100' attendees, although even 100 would hardly be compelling.
Most leave votes were cast in traditional labour supporting areas, to pretend otherwise with made up figures does you no favours.
So Meryl Davis your unsupported figures have more authority than those I demonstrated. Sorry but I do not believe anything simply based on say-so.
As I remarked, that was then this is now and many have changed their minds seeing what a clusterf**k Brexit has been, and something many of us warned it would be. Our warnings, warnings based upon understanding of the agreements and structures of the EU and of world trade were sneeringly dismissed as 'scare stories'. Well the chickens are coming home to roost and many proponents of Brexit have egg on their face as demonstrated by the many posters popping up reminding the nation of what the devious Brexit propagandists said or wrote.
"One of the many myths and mysteries of the 2016 referendum campaign is that people from the south-east Asian community backed a leave campaign that was so often linked to bigotry.
Well the figures from the national statistics show conclusively most leave votes were cast in areas that traditionally vote labour if you consider them unsubstantiated then there is nothing you will believe that alters your incorrect assumption only tory voters wanted us to leave.
A misrepresentation of my responses by inventing something that I never implied. Another logical fallacy unsupported by any facts, in other words a straw man. Accusing me of making assumptions is pure projection.
Your rather simplistic assumption that labour voters voted 65 to 35 in favour of remain does you no favours and continuing to repeat the incorrect claim is foolish we labour voters and supporters are not being correctly represented by the Labour Party mp's or those who attended the Labour Party Conference, it is not possible to make any claim that the Labour Party supports remain because we the voters are not being included in the figure.
I can see my comment has been censored, which is weird because yesterday it had been posted? wordpress on the warpath?
There is no hard or soft Brexit, terminology invented after the vote by losing remainers just leave or remain, we didn't say leave but only with a good deal or leave in name only we said leave, the ignorance that only elderly white men voted to leave whilst vibrant young people voted remain is the big lie. more Labour voters Labour constituencies voted to leave than remain because that makes more sense than the extreme right wing fascist eu membership does.

Essential oil diffuser bracelet - dragon vein agate
"No gemstone is more creatively colored and striped by nature than agate, chalcedony quartz that forms in concentric layers in a wide variety of colors and textures. Each individual agate forms by filling a cavity in host rock. As a result, agate often is found as a round nodule, with concentric bands like the rings of a tree trunk. The bands sometimes look like eyes, sometimes fanciful scallops, or even a landscape with dendrite trees.
In ancient times Agate was highly valued as a talisman or amulet, it was also said to quench thirst and protect from fevers. And there are legends that tell us that Persian magicians used agate to divert storms.
A famous collection of three thousand agate bowls which was accumulated by Mithradates, King of Pontus, shows the enthusiasm with which agate was regarded in the past. Agate bowls were also popular during the Byzantine Empire. Collecting agate bowls became common among European royalty during the Renaissance and many museums in Europe, including the Louver, have spectacular examples.
Agate is said to enhance one's perceptiveness and to stimulate analytical capacity, and to provide balance between one's physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual states. Agate is also said to alleviate hostilities and promote goodwill. Agate is believed to help discern truth, accept circumstances, and is a powerful emotional healer".-GypsyMoon

Dreaming of the East
Orientalism in Early Modern Dance
by Iana Komarnytska
As a belly dancer and a modern dance student at York University, my attention was captured by the fact that a number of early modern dancers performed variations on Oriental themes. I became interested in how they interpreted the Orient through their modern dance technique, and how they represented the Orient in their choreographies, since their performances could have been loosely associated with actual Middle-Eastern dances.
Before starting this discussion, it is important to understand the conditions and social environment of the early twentieth century that might have influenced a dancers decision to use Oriental themes. At the turn of the century, dance was generally regarded as vaudeville or circus entertainment, not as a serious art. It was a conservative era. Dance as a career was not a respectable profession in general, especially for women, because it was considered improper for women to exhibit themselves in public, especially in dance costumes. However, the beginning of feminist emancipation brought some freedom to women in the society. This trend was fused with a femme fatale image, popular from the nineteenth century, and refreshed by the premiere of Oscar Wilde's play "Salome" in 1896 (and the following Salomania).
After Napoleon's invasion of Egypt in 1798, the Middle-East became a popular place to visit for travelers from Europe. As a result, their writings inspired the imagination of Western readers.
Unfortunately it rarely reflected the true reality of the Orient, but presented what the authors wished to see as the Orient.
Such a constructed Orient can be understood through the European colonial domination over the Orient during that period, and later through Edward Said's concept of Orientalism and Otherness.
Edward Said defines Orientalism as "the corporate institution for dealing with the Orient – dealing with it by making statements about it, authorizing views of it, describing it, by teaching it, settling it; ruling over it: in short, Orientalism as a Western style for dominating, restricting, and having authority over the Orient". Additionally, Said describes the Orient by introducing the term "European imaginative geography", the so called theatrical stage on which Westerners could explore their own hidden fantasies or compressed desires by projecting them onto the others, or Orientals. From a dance perspective, projecting a fantasy from their own alternative reality onto the Orient, allowed dance to be presented to a Western audience of the early twentieth century, while the status of traditional Western cultural and social norms remained intact.
Loie Fuller (1862-1928)
Loie Fuller was one of the first dancers who referred to Oriental themes. In 1895, she performed her first version of "Salome", a year before the premiere of Oscar Wilde's play, and more than ten years before Maud Allan's "The Vision of Salome". In 1907 she presented her second sketch on Salome. Compared to the first one, it was received by most critics as Wilde's Salome dance variation.
As Tony Bentlay acknowledges in her book: "Loie Fuller has a special place in the Salome canon for having presented one of the first versions of the story". Fuller's 1895 "Salome" production is remarkable because of several features. Loie Fuller ignored the popular Salome image of the femme fatale. In one of her interviews translated and quoted in Rhonda K Garelick's book, Fuller describes her Salome as "an innocent child who dances before Herod at the instigation of her mother. Salome does not ask for the head of John the Baptist and when it is delivered to her she falls to the ground in fright". Garelick argues that Fuller "insisted not only on Salome's sexual purity, but also on her proximity to Christianity and, implicitly, on her distance from the Orient." To support this idea Garelick analyzed the Gustave Moreau's paintings which inspired Fuller's costume designs. In contrast to the lotuses in Moreau's painting, which, according to Garelick, were believed to be Oriental flowers with erotic overtones, Fuller decorated her costume with white roses. White roses belong to the iconography of the Christian tradition. They are considered to be the chosen flowers of the Virgin Mary. In this way, Loie Fuller transformed "the most famous femme fatale in history" into a Christian martyr. (see more on this subject Garelick 95-101).
Before Wilde's play in 1896, the Salome story was associated with the Biblical character.
In both the 1895 and 1907 sketches, the theme of Salome serves Fuller merely as a frame for a variety of pantomime dances, but not as a central focus. In both productions, she danced representations of a storm and a dance of the Dead Sea. These dances from the first Salome," La Dance du feu" and "Le Lys", were later performed as independent pieces. For the 1907 version, Fuller used a completely different Salome image, not a biblical image, but a femme fatale, and focused more on the technical and electrical aspects of the dance spectacle.
Maud Allan (1873-1956)
Maud Allan, another North American dancer, is considered the most famous Salome dancer in a dance history. She started her dance career at the age of twenty seven with no previous dance training. She conquered Europe with "The Vision of Salome" from 1906 to 1908.
Comparing Maud Allan's piece to Loie Fuller's first version of Salome, Felix Cherniavsky argues that Maud Allan's twenty-one minute version followed the original story line closely. He does not take into consideration that the original story lines of Maud Allan's and Loie Fuller's sketches were completely different. While Fuller based her dancing on the biblical story, Maud Allan was inspired by Wilde's play from the very beginning.
Even though it was based on Wilde's play, Maud Allan's Salome had her personal interpretation. The main part of the dance starts after the seductive "Dance of Seven Veils" is finished. "The Vision of Salome" is not a reproduction of a dance given before Herod, but is the vision of Salome after it is finished, a retrospective.
The dancer represents Salome as a child accustomed to Oriental luxury who is transformed through the dance into a woman who realizes her superior female powers and wishes to be conquered by sexual desire. Having never traveled to the East, it is likely that Maud Allan, consciously or unconsciously, represented the Western women's desires in a suppressed conservative Victorian society, rather than the dance of an Oriental princess.
The fact that she explores the theme of female sexuality through the Oriental one, is an example of Edward Said's concept of Orientalism. It confirms that the Orient was a fabricated theatrical stage for Europeans on which they could project their desires without the fear of being judged unacceptable. Even the statement that Western women could understand and represent the essence of the East itself reaffirmed the West's superiority based on the political and cultural colonialism of the period. It is interesting to compare how that audience perceived Maud Allan's performances in comparison to traditional Middle-Eastern dance shows. In The Academy (21 March 1908) we find a review titled "Miss Maud Allan's Salome Dance" in which the author states: "While authentic Eastern dancing calls attention to the sexualized body of the dancer, making it ugly, Allan's version is Eastern but beautiful ". That supports the popular idea of that time, that authentic Eastern art, including dance, should be transformed and adopted according to Western aesthetic principles in order to be perceived as a high art.
Maud Allan's dancing could not be described as authentically Eastern as it does not have any specific location. Amy Koritz argues in her article that: "Her [Maud's] Salome was not Egyptian, Algerian or Syrian, but Eastern in a vague, homogenizing sense of the word. While Westerners might have national identities, the East, like Women, is characterized by eternal qualities shared by all its inhabitants". In this context "The Vision of Salome" is a classic dance example of Said's idea of "European imaginary geography."
Ruth St. Denis (1879-1968)
Ruth St. Denis, an American dancer, is the most notable modern dance pioneer who introduced Eastern art to Western modern dance. She began her career as an actress performing small dancing roles from time to time in different vaudeville shows. In 1904, St. Denis launched her solo dance career. Later, with her husband Ted Shawn, she established a dance school, Denishawn, and they became famous for their numerous Oriental productions. A number of their students became well-known dance artists of the twentieth century, including Martha Graham, Doris Humphrey, Lillian Powell, Evan-Burrows Fontaine, and Charles Weidman.
The starting point of Ruth St. Denis's dancing career was an occasion during a tour in 1904. The following is a description from her autobiography. "We have reached Buffalo on our way west with the Dubarry company. … [Pat and I] went to a drugstore to get a soda. We were laughing as usual over some joke, and sipping our sodas, when my eyes lifted above the fountain and I saw a cigarette poster of Egyptian Deities". From then on she was intrigued by everything Oriental, with almost a scholarly approach. However, she never tried to reproduce or imitate authentic Eastern dances in her productions.
The central idea for her was the mood. She suggests that the dance artist, including the musician, should never "steep themselves in the environment they wish to represent".
Being a highly spiritual person, and yet influenced by the vaudeville environment, Ruth St. Denis' productions successfully combined these contrasting concepts. The hypersexualized image of Orientals was represented by Ruth St. Denis as a highly spiritual symbol in all her Oriental productions and dances. As Philip Hale wrote in Herald Magazine: "Miss St. Denis has never been in the East. Perhaps for this reason her art is the more Oriental, for the imaginative one, dreaming at home, is the most observing and receptive traveler. There is a spirit in this creative girl that saves her individuality from being tampered with by lesser minds".
Ruth St. Denis' interpretations of Indian and Egyptian dances often borrowed common images and used similar movement vocabulary. For instance, Suzanne Shelton in her analysis of Egypta's scenes concludes:
Her lively dance in the Egyptian banquet hall recalled the "Rektah" dance of Radha and The Nautch, and the opening moments of "The Mystery of Isis" duplicated the priestly processional from Radha. For "The Invocation to the Nile" St. Denis used the arm ripples of Incense, and she borrowed the flower chains from Radha's "Dance of Smell." The source of her sun-worship ritual which opened the "Dance of Day" may have been a Genevieve Stebbins drill which instructed the Delsarte practitioner to [perform a certain sequence of movements]. The drill was part of Stebbins' Eastern Temple Drill, adapted from various forms of oriental worship.
Loie Fuller, Maud Allan and Ruth St. Denis never presented their dances as authentically Eastern. They established themselves as Oriental interpretive dancers, and that might have been one of the key factors to their successful careers in early twentieth century. It is interesting to note that all three of them were originally from North America, but they received their most enthusiastic recognition in Europe.
While there may be several explanations for such a phenomenon, I think it has its roots in Edward Said's term "European imaginative geography". The Oriental interpretive dances at the turn of the twentieth century might have been less accepted in North America due to the vigorous social campaign against Little Egypt and other hootchy-kootchy performers of that period. Europe seemed more open to Oriental themes, and this might be because several Eastern countries were under its direct imperial influence. In its turn, because it was under colonial rule, the Orient was speechless and subject to representation and interpretation in European imagination in any way they wished to see it.

Serena's approach saw women as joyful, soft, and feminine. They were responsible for and in control of their sensuality and by extension their sexuality. The dancers were not encouraged to challenge men by their physical presence, but neither was their physical presence and personal desire controlled by men.

For, as the trial progressed, in effect, it became a trial of female sexuality. No respectable woman, it was claimed, could possibly take on the sadistic role of Salome unless she was a sadist in real life, and sadism was regarded at the time as a practice verging on the criminal.
4-19-13 Thoughts on Teaching Belly Dance, Responsibility, Flexibility, Experience, Knowledge, Leadership and More, by Princess Farhana
Teaching belly dance can be extremely fulfilling and enjoyable. It's lots of fun, and rewarding for the instructor and students alike. Unfortunately, in the belly dance community, perhaps more than in any other dance form, there will always be instructors who have absolutely no business teaching…at all.

No matter how much splendor and glamor is presented on stage, bellydance should always preserve the fundamental spirit and vision of the culture.

3-28-13 Is the Bedlah from Hollywood?, The Origin of Our Costume by Leyla Amir
As long as I can remember, the origins of the bedlah (the two piece costume of Middle Eastern dancers) has been widely controversial and debated among the artists of Raqs Sharqi (belly dance). The dance itself, along with the costume, has gone through many centuries of changes and name identifications in accord with period fashion as well as contact with outside influences.

Q: Phone number format How can i stop Contacts from autoformatting phone numbers? It doesn't seem to matter which region I specify in settings it always registers phone numbers in a strange format: the first two numbers together then a space.  Why can't I just manually format ?

A: I think this is a great question. I believe it used to be possible. The only way I know of now, is to use a custom field (like "Department"), change the label, and use it as if it were a phone number. It's hokey but it works.

A: "Why can't I just manually format?"  You are not alone.  See this thread: apple discussion
After some googling and experimentation, I have found what I believe are the intended methods of entering phone numbers are:

*

*Type the number without a country code and OS X (and iOS) will format it with your computer's region/country settings.

*Type the number with a country code (and a space) in front and the computer will format it based on the standard formatting for that country.

Some examples (I live in Australia):
0345678910 -> 03 4567 8910 (AU landline format)
0456789012 -> 0456 789 012 (AU mobile format)
+61 0345678910 -> +61 (0)3 4567 8910  (+61 is AU country code)
+61 345678910 -> +61 3 3567 8910  (I think this is more correct than previous line)
+1 2345678901 -> +1 (234) 567-8901   (USA)
+33 123456789 -> +33 1 23 45 67 89  (France)
No doubt, it isn't prefect.  But then some people don't know the officially correct formats for their own country.
Wikipedia has pages for numbering in every country.


The second of this winters East District League matches took place in a snow covered Alloa on Saturday 25 November. Although the conditions were cold and dry, the course soon became very muddy and slippy and only got worse as the day progressed.
The first race of the day was the under 11 girls and Lasswade AC fielded five athletes with Abbie Foster leading the team home finishing in an impressive 2nd place with Hannah Knipe 9th and Eloise Scott 20th. Team mates Sophie Birse and Amy Rutherford improved on their finishing positions from Stirling to finish 44th and 50th respectively. The girls finished the day off with being the winning U11 girls team!
The under 11 boys were next race to set off with four Lasswade AC athletes taking part. Andrew McWilliam was first Lasswade finisher in 11th place. Rory Stobie was next counter in 33rd with Harry Miller in 52nd and Max Stobie 84th.
There were five Lasswade athletes in the under 13 girls race. Olivia Meikle was first home in 17th place followed by Amy McLaughlin 39th, Skye Foster 57th, Rebekah Knipe 59th and Fiona Eades 62nd.
The under 13 boys were next to get underway and we had a magnificent seven boys in the field. First home for Lasswade was Ross Wolfenden finishing in 10th. He was followed home by team mates Cameron Chambers 47th, Matthew Cartledge 48th, Alex Miller 51st, Alistair Scott 64th, Jared Stobie 72nd and Alasdair Brown 74th.
In the under 15/17 girls we had two athletes with Sarah Tait (U17) having a good run and working her way through the field to be our first finisher in 9th place. Team mate Abby McGlone (U15) was next Lasswade athlete home in 36th.
Unfortunately we had no U15 boys running yesterday.
Next to set off were the under 17 men and we had three runners. Christian Graham running well so far this winter was once again the runaway winner, Euan Hood having a better run was in 15th with team mate Daniel Kelly in 29th.
We had no ladies competing yesterday.
In the last race of the day which was the senior men we had five Lasswade athletes competing and first home was Scott Thomson in a very respectable 13th , he was followed home by Jamie Darling (U20) in 73rd, Andrew McGlone 111th, Dave Scott 154th and Graham Knipe 176th.
Although cold and very muddy it was a great day of cross country running and really good to see so many athletes coming out to support the club. The number of Lasswade AC athletes competing was good although slightly down on the first match at Stirling. We still fielded 31 athletes but did have a few incomplete teams. Currently in the league the only teams placed are our U11 girls who are in 2nd position and U17 men who are 3rd so we need to make sure we have a good turnout for the last match in Broxburn in January.
There were quite a few improved performances so well done to everyone and thank you for your support.

New sign of Kirkuk court in Arabic only
Kirkuk, January 13, 2022: The new sign of court in Daquq district of Kirkuk is written in Arabic only while the old one included Kurdish, Turkmen and Syriac as well. KirkukNow
By KirkukNow
The official sign for one of Kirkuk courts has been updated and written in Arabic only, after the old one included inscription in Kurdish, Turkmen and Syriac languages as well.
The new sign for court of Daquq district, 44 km south of Kirkuk, was installed this week, and according to KirkukNow information, the new sign was sent by House of justice in Kirkuk.
KirkukNow reporter on Thursday, January 13, took a photo of the new sign, but admin and judicial staff denied commenting.
A source in Daquq District Administration denied that the administration had installed the new sign. "We are not aware of this issue and it has nothing to do with us."
But a source in the Daquq court told KirkukNow "the sign was sent to us from the Kirkuk court."
The old sign of court of Daquq included Arabic, Kurdish, Turkmen and Syriac languages.
The old sign of Daquq court building was written in four languages, Arabic, Kurdish, Turkmen and Syriac.
This comes at a time when the issue of deleting the Kurdish language from signs, addresses and traffic signs inside the city of Kirkuk sparked widespread protests, which resulted in the removal of these signs.
What happened was in violation of a decision by Rakan al-Jibouri, Kirkuk's acting governor, issued on September 1, 2021, in which he stressed the need for public signs in Kirkuk to include the four languages of the province, based on the Iraq Languages Law of 2014 and the decision of the Iraqi Federal Court in 2008.
The Iraqi constitution stipulates that Arabic and Kurdish are the official languages in Iraq, and Turkmen and Syriac are official languages in the administrative units in which they constitute the majority of the population.
The local administration of Kirkuk said in a statement on January 2nd that (Arabic, Kurdish, Turkmen and Syriaclanguages to be adopted in public boards and all roads, bridges, and administrative units of Kirkuk province.
"Any act other than the instructions and controls above for the administration of Kirkuk, whether for the identification boards of the circuits or for the indication boards of traffic, roads, bridges, or the municipality is considered sabotage and incitement."
Kirkuk administration called on the security forces, "to take the utmost accountability against those who act contrary to the instructions and measures."
KirkukNow was not able to obtain statements on the matter from the Kirkuk Court.
Kirkuk, Iraq's second largest reserves, located 238 kilometers north of Baghdad, is an ethnically mixed province for 1,7 million Kurds, Arabs, and Turkmens. It has long been at the center of disputes between Baghdad and the Erbil.
Kurds were holding the senior position in Kirkuk including governor of Kirkuk up to October 2017 Iraqi troops ousted the Kurdish forces following declaration of victory over the Islamic State in Iraq and Levant ISIL.
Back in 2018, the Turkmens and Arabs each have got each three seats of the 12 parliamentary seats of Kirkuk and the rest six has gone to the PUK, one of the key Kurdish parties and stakeholder of the Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government KRG along with its decades' ally-competitor Kurdistan Democratic Party KDP which boycotted elections in Kirkuk.
In October 10th general elections, Turkmen candidates have won two seats while the Arabs have got four seats. PUK has lost half of its seats, 2 to KDP and one for the New Generation.
Currently, Iraqi army, local and federal police, Brigade 61 of Special Forces along with Shiite paramilitary of Popular Mobilization Forces PMF, are under Kirkuk joint operations' command, an umbrella for the security forces running the security of Kirkuk province.

Jesus IS Risen! We made it through the desert of Lent and now can arise with Him and celebrate new life in Him. Like the flowers popping out of the ground, soon we'll see the fruits of our Lenten sacrifices shoot out and bloom.
In the same way that we made Lenten resolutions, it's just as important – if not more – to let those sacrifices mean something and set New Easter Resolutions and we celebrate how God "makes all things new" in our lives.
This Lent, I focused on loving my family and serving God in the little ways and I'm starting to see all the precious fruits the Holy Spirit has been able to sow from that. My love for serving God by serving my family has been rekindled with a renewed enthusiasm and I once again remember that My Family IS My Passion!
Love my husband deeply, intensely, and profoundly.
Dedicate myself to serve our children JOYFULLY.
Serve God by serving my family in every little way I can, making sure not to see my marriage or family as an obstacle but as THE path to service.
Show the same love and care I give when I volunteer for others and strangers with my family and friends also!
Wash dishes, laundry, housework, as if I'm really working for a brilliant billion-dollar industry or for someone else "super important" – because I am. My family is worth more than any company and my God is more important than any boss. Teach kids to do the same.
Cultivate my interests, talents, and hobbies and take care of my health (mind, body, soul) as a part of serving my family and teach them to do the same.
Work hard, set goals and plans, and be willing to alter these goals with current circumstances and be flexible to adapt to new situations, environments and dynamics.
Don't stress so much about the little things or even the big ones. If it won't matter when I'm 90, I don't need to freak out about it now.
Do "little tings" with GREAT Love – FOR REAL!!!
What about YOU? What New Easter Resolutions will you make?

I loved your idea of doing those menial chores with joy, and the sense that you are working for someone " super important". what a great prespective! Doing every task with JOY makes such a difference! I will print this article out and hang it on my mirror!

Portugal - Country history and economic development
2ND CENTURY B.C. Present-day Portugal territory becomes a part of the Roman province of Lusitania.
5TH CENTURY A.D. The area is conquered by the Visigoths.
8TH CENTURY. The region is conquered by Muslim Moors.
997. The land between the Douro and Minho rivers is taken over by Bermudo II, the Spanish Christian king of Leon.
1064. The lands to the south of the Douro and Minho rivers, including Coimbra and including several Spanish fiefs, are united into a feudal entity by Ferdinand I, Spanish king of Castile and Leon. The northernmost of the fiefs, the Comitatus Portaculensis, situated around the old Roman seaport of Portus Cale (Oporto), later gives its name to Portugal. A feudal, agriculture-based economy develops.
1093. Henry (Henrique) of Burgundy becomes Count of Portugal.
1139. Alfonso Henriques, son of Henry of Burgundy, declares Portugal independent from the kingdom of Castile and Leon and becomes king. Aided by the Templars and other knights' orders, he extends the kingdom southward to the Tejo River.
1185. Portuguese settle in the reconquered area in self-governing municipalities. The Cistercian monks promote more efficient agricultural methods.
1248-79. The Moors are driven out of the southern province of Algarve, and the capital of Portugal is moved from Coimbra to Lisbon. The king starts governing with the help of a Cortes (a representative assembly of the nobility, clergy, and citizens).
LATE 13TH CENTURY. Diniz, "the Farmer King," encourages agriculture, founds the first university at Coimbra, develops the Portuguese navy into the strongest in all of Europe, and negotiates a commercial treaty with England.
LATE 14TH CENTURY. Under the lead of Prince Henry the Navigator, son of King John I, a century of exploration and conquest begins with exploring the African coast for a route to the Indies. Portugal later becomes a great colonial power as its navigators explore Madeira, discover the Azores Islands, and take a foothold in Africa.
MID-15TH CENTURY. Using the caravel, a tall ship adapted for Atlantic voyages, Portuguese sailors reach present-day Cape Verde, Sierra Leone, Ghana, and Angola.
1488. Bartholomeu Dias becomes the first European to sail around the southern tip of Africa, opening the sea route to the East Indies.
1494. After Christopher Columbus's voyage to America, Portugal and Spain sign the Treaty of Tordesillas, which allocates to Portugal all undiscovered lands east of a line 370 leagues west of the Cape Verde Islands.
1497-99. Vasco da Gama reaches India by the Dias route and starts a lucrative trade in spices and other luxuries. The Portuguese later conquer Goa (in present-day India), Malacca (in present-day Malaysia), the Moluccas Islands (in present-day Indonesia), and Hormuz Island in the Persian Gulf. Under pressure from Spain, Portugal expels all Jews and Muslims, depriving Portugal of much of its enterprising middle class. Trade is begun with China, and Portugal later acquires the trade colony of Macao from China.
16TH CENTURY. Portugal settles Brazil and introduces the Inquisition at home to enforce Roman Catholic loyalty. Political decline follows internal struggles for the throne, and Portugal is subdued by the Spanish Habsburgs and gradually loses its positions in the East Indies to the Dutch and the English.
1640. With help from France, Portugal restores its independence, and John IV of Braganza takes over the throne and renews ties with England. British merchants gradually come to dominate Portuguese trade, monarchy becomes more despotic, and the Cortes lose their significance.
1750-77. Chief Minister Sebastiao Jose de Carvalho e Mello encourages industry and education and ends the foreign monopoly of trade.
1807. The armies of French Emperor Napoleon threaten Portugal, and the royal family withdraws to Brazil, making Rio de Janeiro the seat of government. In 1811, Portugal is free of French influence, but the royal family remains in Brazil and makes it a separate kingdom in 1815. Brazil proclaims its independence in 1822.
1826. Pedro IV (former Pedro I of Brazil) takes over the throne in Lisbon and introduces a parliamentary regime subordinated to the monarchy. Acute internal political strife more than once requires the intervention of other European powers and popular dissatisfaction with the monarchy grows.
1910. The army and navy lead a revolution establishing a republic. A liberal constitution is then adopted, and Manuel Jose de Arriaga is elected president. Portugal is shaken by political turmoil and in 1916 begins participation in World War I fighting for the Entente.
1926. An army coup deposes the 40th successive cabinet since the founding of the republic. Antonio de Oliveira Salazar, professor of economics, is appointed minister of finance.
1932. Salazar becomes prime minister and dictator, and Portugal becomes a incorporated state with a planned economy, called the Estado Novo (New State).
1943. Portugal remains neutral in World War II but allows the Allies to use the Azores as a naval and air base. The planned economy collapses as the fishing industry declines, refugees fill the country, and the East Indies colonies are threatened by Japan.
1945. Unemployment and poverty are rampant after the war, but opposition to the Salazar regime is suppressed.
1960s. India annexes Portuguese Goa in 1961. Uprisings start in Angola, Guinea, and Mozambique and fighting continues into the 1970s. The United Nations (UN) blames Portugal for waging colonial wars. Loans help finance domestic irrigation and construction projects and some economic growth occurs.
1974. Led by Antonio de Spinola, a 7-man junta takes power and promises democracy at home and peace in Africa.
1974-75. Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, the Cape Verde Islands, São Tomé and Príncipe, and Angola become independent.
1975. The Movement of the Armed Forces (Movimento das Forcas Armadas, MFA) assumes a formal role in the government by establishing a single trade union confederation and starting to reform economic and social life. Heavy industry and banking are nationalized and large agricultural holdings are expropriated and redistributed. The Socialists win elections for a constituent assembly, but after a series of clashes between Socialists and Communists, the MFA assumes control. In the same year, Portuguese Timor is occupied by Indonesia.
1976. New parliamentary elections bring the Socialists into office and Mario Soares becomes prime minister.
1979. The Conservative Democratic Alliance wins elections and its leader, Francisco Sa Carneiro, takes office as premier but is killed in a plane crash a year later. The military Council of the Revolution is dismissed by a constitutional amendment.
1983. Socialist Soares comes back into power as prime minister. He introduces an austerity program and conducts negotiations for joining the European Community (now the EU) that are finalized in 1986.
1992. Mass student demonstrations are followed by strikes involving public employees demanding wage increases and doctors protesting plans to privatize some health services.
1996. Portugal and its former colonies of Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and São Tomé and Príncipe form the Commonwealth of Portuguese-Speaking Countries (CPLP), an organization seeking to preserve the language, coordinate diplomatic efforts, and improve cooperation between the countries.

Days after the relaunch of dialogue between the Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional (FSLN) government led by President Daniel Ortega and the Alianza Cívica por la Justicia y la Democracia (ACJD) [WR-19-09], the opposition pulled out. It conditioned its return on signs of "genuine will" on the part of the government at finding a solution to the crisis. These signs include the release of all political prisoners (which number over 700). While talks have again resumed after Ortega pledged to release a "significant group of political prisoners" (a promise as yet unfulfilled), doubts persist as to the likelihood of any real success given the government's intransigence with regard to another key ACJD demand – early elections.

Dani Filth says he's been "emailing with" Ed Sheeran about a potential collaboration
The Cradle of Filth leader reveals that he's been talking to one of pop music's biggest stars about joining forces
Last month, pop superstar Ed Sheeran revealed that he is "not opposed" to making a death metal album. Yes, the guy who sings Perfect, Thinking Out Loud and Shape of You.
In an interview with The Sun, the singer-songwriter noted that he was "really into death metal as a kid," adding that he spent time in his youth learning Slipknot and Cradle of Filth guitar riffs. "That's something I've never thought about doing – but something I would not be opposed to creating," Sheeran said.
And while his comments came across as somewhat tongue-in-cheek – at least Dani Filth thought so, replying: "I'll believe it when I see it" – it seems the acoustic guitar-toting star might actually have some death metal up his sleeve.
Speaking to Kerrang! backstage at Bloodstock 2021 (as reported by Planet Rock), Filth revealed that he's "actually been emailing with [Sheeran]."
"He actually touched base with me," Filth says. "I've been invited up to his place. Well, he said he could come down to mine, but I pointed out to him that I don't own my own bar or village, and it'd be better if I went there. He said he'd do anything. Quite literally. He said he's a massive fan. He seems like a genuinely very nice guy actually."
He continued: "I think the Ed Sheeran collaboration would be great fun. I think it'd be great if we did it for charity because at least it would bring a bit of credibility to it. Because obviously to his public, it'd be like 'Oh my god, he's got this weird comical guy', and to my public, it'd be like 'Oh my god, this is a bit weird isn't it?' But I think that sort of thing, nowadays, works."
It's yet unclear exactly what will come of such a collaboration, though prior to contact being made between the pair, Filth suggested "Dracula's Castle on the Hill" (a play on Sheeran's 2017 single, Castle on the Hill). We'll endeavor to keep you updated as information unfolds.
Cradle of Filth recently announced their 13th studio album, Existence is Futile, and shared its impossibly heavy lead single, Crawling King Chaos.
The album's title, Dani Filth explains, "is about recognizing the truth and saying that everything is permitted because nothing really matters". "We all know we're going to die," he continues, "so we might as well indulge life while we possess it."


Unsurprisingly, Brexit remains at the top of the agenda for many currency market participants as the clock counts down to next weekend's emergency EU leaders' summit. This has been arranged to endorse the proposal document which was tabled last week—but would see the UK tied indefinitely into a customs union as a result. With a firm deadline in place, the political tempo in Westminster will accelerate markedly in the coming days, and a leadership challenge for Theresa May remains a very real possibility. The Prime Minister may have survived the weekend – and the Pound appears to have posted a token bounce in recognition of this fact – but it seems inevitable that hostility towards the proposals will increase in the near-term.
The weekend also saw the US and China meet as part of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit; although there was no progress seen here in terms of an outline trade deal between the two nations. This may well be seen at the G20 summit due to be held in Argentina later this month, especially if Donald Trump is looking for a potentially headline-making statement, but concerns are mounting over the short-term fallout which could be seen. A slowing Chinese economy is being bolstered by Yuan devaluation, but some Chinese companies who are using US Dollar denominated debt are being pushed towards the risk of default. Prospects such as this will do little to encourage risk-taking, and as a result, this could serve to push the Dollar higher across the board.
The Italian budget question is still on the table, with Rome refusing to budge against Brussels' criticism of the austerity-busting proposals. Despite assurances from the Italian government that growth targets can be achieved and asset sales will be undertaken to reduce the deficit, the European Commission is tipped to trigger the so-called 'Excessive Deficit Procedure', possibly as soon as this week. That would leave the battle between the two ongoing into the spring, and through European Parliament elections which are expected to see fresh gains for anti-austerity parties. In other words, Italy has an incentive to ride this storm out, as six months down the line could see a far more supportive approach to such policies—although it's unlikely to provide any medium-term support for the Euro.
Economic data is very thin on the ground today, although once again it's the political narrative that stands to dominate. The Pound yet again has the potential to see some of the most significant swings as the battle over Brexit plays out further and as has already been experienced, movements on the currency could be both swift and significant in size.
The Pound has made some gains from last week's lows against the US Dollar, although there is plenty of safe-haven justification for buying into the USD for now. Unless some positive progress is seen over Brexit, the next move could readily be lower once again.
The Euro made gains on Friday helped along by some better than expected inflation data, which in turn is providing support for the European Central Bank's (ECB) plan to normalise monetary policy. However, sustaining this upside against a mounting risk-off bias and political uncertainty in the European Union could prove difficult.
Despite notable losses for the Pound against the Euro last week, the risk still remains weighted on the downside. This is attributed to the political uncertainty in the UK, and the fact that in the short-term, the UK arguably has more to lose from Brexit than the Eurozone. While a change in sentiment could see value hunters rushing in, against the current backdrop, this does seem unlikely.


Korea's Transport Ministry announced Wednesday that it will supply hidden-camera detectors to all bus terminals by July.
"The recent rise of digital spy camera crimes in public facilities, like subways, railways and [bus] terminals, have made many transport users feel anxious," read a statement from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
The ministry said it will spend 200 million won ($177,600) distributing camera-detecting devices to 260 bus terminals by July. The other 35 bus terminals already have such devices.
In 2017, about 6,465 camera-related crimes were reported, up nearly 25 percent from 2016, according to data provided by the ministry. Camera-detecting devices - which can identify hidden cameras - are expected to help curtail relevant crime dramatically.
The ministry will require terminal managers to check for spy cameras regularly and pay special attention to bathrooms and nursing rooms. Operators will also be advised to post warnings and place guards or police in the terminals during peak travel periods, such as holidays, to increase security.
If bus terminal operators do not comply with the new regulations, they face fines up to 6 million won.
The move to distribute hidden camera detectors comes as the government works to prevent digital crimes in transport facilities. Railways, airports and subways are also taking measure now to adopt camera-detecting devices.

George Bluth Talks Arrested Development On Reddit [No Touching!]
Chris Crum
Jeffrey Tambor, who plays twin brothers George and Oscar Bluth on Arrested Development participated in a reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) today, discussing the show, among other things.
Arrested Development, of course, is due to return as a Netflix-exclusive series later this month, and fans are champing at the bit to see what the long-anticipated fourth season has in store.
Tambor, of course, fielded many questions about the show. Following are some highlights. If you're not familiar with the show, you might as well stop reading now, because much of the discussion requires you to be.
When asked about his favorite running theme/joke from the show, he responded, "There's always money in the banana stand."
One user asked how the famous chicken dance performed by numerous cast members on the show came about, to which he responded, "I never knew about it until I was asked to do it. And when I'm asked to do it, I do it very badly. I'm the worst chicken dancer of the cast."
When asked whether he likes playing George or Oscar more, he said, "One side of my brain likes Oscar. One side of my brain likes George."
When asked if Judy Greer (Kitty) ever flashed him in real life, he responded, "No. And that's a problem."
Tambor said it only took about five minutes for the cast to slip back into the AD roles once they started shooting again. "We're all so used to each other. Our first scenes, we just slipped into it naturally," he said. "They're all very fine actors."
In response to another question, he noted that very little of the dialogue on the show is ad-libbed, and that the writing is just that good.
Of course, he was asked about the long-rumored Arrested Development movie, to which he responded, "I think the new season will promote a great amount of popularity, which will help a movie come into existence."
On his favorite AD guest star, Tambor said, "They were all great, but Henry Winkler is a close friend of mine, and I was so glad to have him aboard."
On getting the news that the show would be canceled: "I was sad. I wasn't surprised, I think we all saw it coming."
On the most exciting thing about the upcoming season: "It's new format. The fact that we're doing 15 all at once, and each character gets to tell his story. We're the little engine that could, and we came back."
On his favorite episode: "Gosh, I would have to say that the entire fourth season. I'm just so happy to be back."
Hopefully us fans will agree.
Tambor was joined by the co-creators of Onion News Empire, so if you're interested in that too, check out the thread.
