The very first time I met him, he was the 9th wheel of a group of 4 couples having dinner. I was on a date with someone else.
The second time I bumped into him, in a downtown Charlotte, NC bar, about a month later, we recognized each other and chatted. Again, I was on a date with someone else (the same guy as above).
I wanted him to ask me out. I wanted him to know that I wasn't necessarily "with" the guy whom he'd twice seen accompanying me.
My friend Christy made it happen. She let him know that I was interested.
He called me at work and asked me if I liked hockey. I said no. Nonplussed, he asked me to go with him to a Bruins exhibition game that was being played in Charlotte. I said yes.
And then a year later, I said yes again...and we were married 8 months after that.
Despite what our 7 year old thinks.

EDB Chairman meets leading exporters
Chairman and Chief Executive, EDB, Prabhash Subasinghe with two of the exporters.
Chairman and Chief Executive, EDB (Export Development Board), Prabhash Subasinghe met with the country's leading exporters at the Board premises last week. Twenty-five exporters covering the country's main export sectors were present. At the outset he thanked them for the contribution made by them to the economy and acknowledged the importance of exports to the country.
He called on exporters to take pride in playing a major role in the development of the country. The Chairman reiterated that the role of EDB is to facilitate exporters in reaching a higher export growth.
The exporters shared their expectations and export trends for 2020. They stressed the need for the policy consistency to increase exports. Subasinghe asked how EDB could assist and intervene on penetrating to any new markets and emphasised the need to develop new products to expand the limited export basket. The exporters were of the view that market access through new and existing FTAs is also a priority to increase exports from Sri Lanka. The need to focus on R & D, innovation for products, brand protection, Geographical Indication protection particularly for agricultural products, land availability for expansion, expediting hub operations were also highlighted during the discussion as key factors to have considerable increase of exports. The need for skilled labour for the cutting and polishing of diamonds and other export industries was stated. It was suggested to have more focussed discussions on strategies to double exports within the next few years.

I have come to see Trump as merely a mendacious and narcissistic nincompoop. I'm guessing that policymakers in the world's capitals are likely to have reached a similar conclusion. That is, they have learned not to take Trump seriously.
If there is a U.S. foreign policy, it comes from the permanent government of which Mattis is the preeminent representative. The permanent government thinks pretty much it has thought ever since the end of the Cold War — whether for better or worse ….


Need a last-minute present? Or maybe you know someone who could use a little book learning? Check out the Motley Fool's book list!
We've been asking for your favorite investing books for the past few weeks, and the results are in!
In this episode of Industry Focus: Financials, host Gaby Lapera and contributor Matthew Frankel talk about a few of the books from the list that they've read before. Find out why Peter Lynch's One Up On Wall Street is so highly and consistently recommended for individual value investors, how Thinking, Fast and Slow by Nobel Prize-winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman can help you make better investing decisions, and more.
Don't forget to email us at industryfocus@fool.com for the full list!
Gaby Lapera: Welcome to Industry Focus, the podcast that dives into a different sector of the stock market every day. You're listening to the Financials edition, taped today on Monday, Dec. 19th, 2016. My name is Gaby Lapera, and joining me on the phone is Matt Frankel, one of The Motley Fool's top business analysts and personal finance specialist. How is it going, Matt?
Matthew Frankel: Good, thanks for having me.
Lapera: We are definitely excited to have you here. Everyone, today's show it's our second annual just-in-time-for-the-holidays book show. I don't know what holidays you might celebrate. I personally celebrate Christmas. I believe, Matt, you celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah?
Frankel: Yes, we're a mixed household down here.
Lapera: Very exciting. I believe, one of the days of Hanukkah falls on Christmas this year, right?
Frankel: Yeah, it's one of the rare years where the two overlap.
Lapera: Perfect, this is great, if you celebrate Christmas and/or Hanukkah and/or Kwanzaa and/or Festivus, or you just want to give someone a nice gift in a totally non-seasonal way. (laughs) So, books. Why do we do the book list? One, because I think it's fun. Two, because the most important thing I think you can give people is knowledge, or the means of educating themselves, and that's one of the only gifts that can be with someone for forever. Not to mention that education helps to make better world citizens -- that's also another really great benefit from it. Books can change people's minds, take them to new worlds, and educate people, and that's super exciting.
Lapera: Right? So, every year -- (laughs) for the last two years, I should say, and hopefully next year as well, I'm really hoping this will be an annual thing -- we have put together a book list to help you help the people in your life. Maybe they're really annoying and you want them to know a little bit more, and you can give them one of these books. I do want to mention that this year, we sourced ideas from listeners. Thank you to the approximately 30-ish people who wrote in or Facebooked in. I do want to warn you that there are some books on the list that no one at the Fool has heard of, so we're not personally vouching that everything on there is great. But even if there's a hinky recommendation, that's good -- maybe you'll read something and think, "Hmm, that's not quite right," and it'll encourage you to go do research and learn for yourself, and that is the top skill that American colleges are trying to teach right there -- critical thinking and analysis. So, there you go, free education double whammy. But, overall, I trust y'all, and I'm sure that all of the recommendations -- well, I hope that all the recommendations -- are great.
With that, I would like to turn to Matt Frankel. What is one book that has really helped you as an investor?
Frankel: My personal favorite when I got started was One Up On Wall Street by Peter Lynch. It's unique in that it breaks down the advantages that small investors have over big hedge funds and big investors. He goes into a discussion of using the power of your own knowledge to find investments and evaluate stocks. He goes into a good description of stock analysis as well, just kind of the basics, evaluating the P/E ratio (price/earnings), how to interpret insider buying and selling, that kind of thing, how to categorize stocks, and very importantly for beginners, how to manage your expectations, and how to differentiate investing and speculating.
Lapera: That's very important for beginners, like, one of the most important things that you can hopefully learn when you first start.
Frankel: Yeah. I've heard from a lot of my friends who read my writing but aren't really investors yet, things like, "Why don't you just put all of your money in this stock you think is going to triple in the next two years?" This book answers questions like that. Just using the power of what you know already to make investment decisions.
Lapera: Yeah, One Up On Wall Street is a very Foolish book.
Frankel: Definitely. My favorite quote of his from the book is that he tries to think like an amateur whenever possible, and that's what he credits his success to, in that large investors are inherently at a disadvantage because they have to invest in big companies, large stocks, the normals. He delves into how to spot trends before the analysts do by stuff like, at the store, looking at what people are buying, and that sort of thing.
Lapera: Yeah, that is exactly right. It's a great book. I think that -- I'm not 100% sure, I should have listened to last year's show -- I think that might have been the book I recommended last year. (laughs) So, I also approve of that book, listeners. And that book is on the book list this year, as well. There are some classics that are going to show up every year, so don't be angry if there's a couple old titles this year from last year. I think that just happens when books are really great. The book that I am personally recommending this year is a book by Daniel Kahneman, who actually won the Nobel in economic science in 2002. This book is also on the list, it was recommended by a listener, Jason from Richmond, you'll see his name a lot on the list. The book is called Thinking, Fast and Slow. Daniel Kahneman is actually a psychologist, technically. Maybe he's an investor in his personal life, I'm not 100% sure.
But the whole point of the book is, humans have two different ways of thinking. One is fast, we make assumptions, we just make a decision, and that is the more emotional part of our brain. The other way of thinking is more analytical and slow. But the problem is, sometimes we think we're thinking analytically and we're not. He helps unpack how we do that, and how to make more reasoned decisions, which I think is huge for investors. I think one of the biggest problems in investing is how emotional it can be. And we don't even realize it. The other day, I was talking to a friend of mine, and he was just like, "I just have a good feeling about that company." And I was like, "OK, but why?" And he was like, "I don't know, they just sound good to me." It's like, that's not a good reason to buy a company! And that's a very obvious example of emotional thinking, but there's all sorts of things, like when the market goes down and you just sell a company because, "The company's gone down! Oh no!" But there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the company, you're just selling because everything's down. And that's the worst time to sell, because everything is down, you're not going to make as much money.
Frankel: Right, psychology is actually one of the biggest obstacles for new investors. There was a study done where the average investor only returns about 3% per year, less than a third the average return of the S&P. The main reason was they do the opposite of what they should. They buy when everybody else is buying, and the sell when everybody else is panicking. And this is a book that could help correct that.
Lapera: Definitely. I really liked it. I think listeners know that I kind of have a science-y background. By "kind of," I mean I have a science background. So, of course this one super appealed to me. But, I also think, like I said, it's very valuable for new investors. Just to give you a quick preview of some of the other books on the list -- and Matt, we can do free association. I'll say a book, and you say the first few words to sentence that comes to mind.
Frankel: I'll give it my best shot.
Lapera: Let's start with The Outsiders: Eight Unconventional CEOs and Their Radically Rational Blueprint for Success. First, have you heard of this book?
Frankel: I have heard of it, I have not read it yet, though.
Lapera: OK, well, let's not do that one then. How about The Intelligent Investor?
Frankel: My second-favorite all time. Not too much into the psychology. It's the best discussion of value investing I've ever read.
Lapera: Definitely. And that was actually the most recommended book this year by far, followed by One Up On Wall Street, you'll be happy to know.
Frankel: For more advanced investors, Graham's other book, Security Analysis, is another good choice.
Lapera: Good to know. That is actually not on the list. Keep that in mind, listeners.
Frankel: It's some more advanced discussions.
Lapera: How about Snowball? Have you read this? It's the Warren Buffett book.
Frankel: Yes, I read it a long time ago.
Lapera: The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life. It has a very dramatic title. I've actually not read that book, so I don't know what the snowball reference is.
Frankel: There are only a few really good Buffett books I'd recommend. Another one is called Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist by Roger Lowenstein.
Frankel: That's another really good discussion about how Buffett's mind works.
Lapera: Yeah. We have quite a few books that are kind of like "titans of X industry" type books, which I think are interesting, I love biographies, but I know they're not quite everyone's...slice of pie? That's not the phrase, but it'll come to me eventually, after the show is done. OK, last one, Margin of Safety: Risk-Averse Value Investing Strategies for the Thoughtful Investor by Seth Klarman.
Frankel: Another great book on a Buffett-ish topic. Margin of safety is one of Buffett's biggest allies. He invests in things he perceives to be undervalued. Margin of safety is figuring out how much bad economy your stocks can absorb, like, if another crash comes, how much could the market go down before the stock would still be worth more than you paid for it?
Lapera: Yeah, definitely. I don't know if you've read this book, but this is a tome. It is a long, long book. And I think it's actually the most expensive book on the list, because it's technically out of print, so it's in the hundreds of dollars. But a lot of investors recommend it. So if you are very committed to value investing, maybe consider borrowing it from your library, if they have it, or attempting to buy it on Amazon. One last fun one, Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game. Have you read this book?
Lapera: Yes. It's by Michael Lewis. It's a great book.
Frankel: And the movie was actually really good, too.
Lapera: Yeah. The point I'm trying to get to here, listeners, is that we have everything from Seth Klarman, basically, I believe the listener who wrote in about that book was basically a Masters in investing, if you are a value investing freak, to Moneyball, which is kind of a fun book. Michael Lewis knows what he's talking about, but he's also a really fun and easy-to-read writer, I think. I think almost any Michael Lewis book that you pick up is worth it. Although, this is the only Michael Lewis book we have on the list this year.
So, listeners, I want to wish you guys a happy holiday of your choice. Merry Christmas to my parents, because I know they celebrate Christmas. Happy Hannukah and Merry Christmas to Matt. Happy Festivus to my friend Andrea Blakemore out in San Francisco. Thank you, guys, very much for joining us for this show. Just so you guys know, next week we are not doing any live shows, it's all going to be repeats from earlier this year. They're still going to be great. We tried to pick some of our most interesting shows -- at least, I did. I don't know, maybe the other guys picked terrible shows. If they did, feel free to write in and tell them they were terrible. You can do that at industryfocus@fool.com. If you want this book list, email us at industryfocus@fool.com. I will try to get it out to you as soon as possible. Just so everyone knows, as usual, people on the program they have interests in the stuff they talk about, and The Motley Fool may have recommendations for or against, so don't buy or sell stocks based solely on what you hear. Again, contact us at industryfocus@fool.com, or by tweeting us @MFIndustryFocus. If one of those books is terrible, let me know. I will probably not take it off the list, because I think it's important for people to read things that they don't agree with. But I will know, and I will probably agree with you.
Thank you to Austin Morgan, who put together this show. We're in a time crunch, and he's looking at me like, "Oh my God, hurry up, they're trying to come in here and fix the studio!" And, thank you to everyone for listening. Just on a personal note, I've been doing this show for about a year now, and it's been really satisfying, and one of the best parts is getting emails from you guys, and the book list always brings out a lot of emails. Thanks guys, for being, I hope, kind of loyal listeners, (laughs) and for listening to me for a whole year. At least no one's written in and been like, "Get out!" yet. (laughs) And, thanks to Matt for joining us again!
Frankel: Yes, thank you for having me!
Lapera: Awesome. All right, everyone, have a great week!

Updated May 16: The Riverview board has sent out an update on where its lottery process stands, and offers a bit of insight into its deliberations with the Beaufort County Board of Education.
You can read the update from the Riverview board here.
Reported May 12: Fears that Riverview Charter School's lottery process wasn't complying with the Beaufort County School District's minority admissions requirements have caused the school to delay its planned May 16 admissions lottery.
Instead, the lottery will be held at a date "no later than" June 16. It's a date that will give the county time to ensure the enrollment mechanisms in place will adjust the white vs. minority population at the school.
The Island Packet has a bit of context surrounding the news; read the report here.
The school will be making a presentation to the board of education on the process at a public meeting on May 17 at 6 p.m. in County Council Chambers at 100 Ribaut Road.
Below is the note from the school on why they delayed.
Read more about the school on our topic page.
The Riverview Board of Directors has postponed the 2011-2012 enrollment lottery originally scheduled for Monday, May 16, 2011, so that Riverview will have sufficient time to work with the Beaufort County School District and Office for Civil Rights to clear up the current confusion surrounding appropriate lottery processes and outcomes. In keeping with the Riverview Board's approved motion from their May 10, 2011, meeting, the lottery will be held no later than June 16, 2011.
As soon as the lottery has been rescheduled, we will contact you with the new date and time.
Riverview will be making a presentation to the Beaufort County Board of Education about this matter at their next meeting May 17, 2011, at 6 p.m. in County Council Chambers, 100 Ribaut Road in Beaufort. I would encourage each of you to attend and hear the discussion first-hand.

Student Spotlight: Fighting Gun Violence through Fitness
By Alex Sanyal on April 24, 2018 in Homepage News, News
Rebecca speaking on behalf of the Philly Regional MSD Alumni group
Rebecca Salus, a 40-year-old social worker who moved here from Florida last year, was just settling in to life as a Philadelphian when news broke of a devastating shooting at her alma mater, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Moved to act in the wake of the tragedy, she joined local campaigns against gun violence, speaking out at a local march and contacting us to spearhead a fitness-based fundraiser. Thanks to her initiative, a portion of each ticket sale at our upcoming POUND Glow Party will be donated to Everytown for Gun Safety. Read on to learn more about the event, what it means to Rebecca and how you can help.
Philly Dance Fitness: Where were you when you found out about the shooting?
Rebecca Salus: I was preparing to head home from work and get ready for a Valentine's Day date with my boyfriend. The organization I work for is based in Florida, so I first got an email from a co-worker that went out to the entire agency about an active shooter at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. I then started receiving text after text from family and friends who still live in South Florida, including my sister, who was receiving texts from my 12-year old nephew on lock-down at his middle school a mile down the road from MSD. He had to hide under a desk for hours until the shooter was apprehended.
How did you feel when you realized the severity of the situation?
My initial reaction was complete and total shock and denial. I kept thinking, of all the schools in America, this can't possibly be happening at mine. Every time I saw or heard "Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School" or "Parkland, Florida" on the news, it felt like I was being punched in the stomach. Parkland had just been voted the safest city in America, and growing up there, I was never exposed to any kind of gun violence. I spent that night glued to the news. When I found out that there were 17 victims, I felt a sense of devastation that I've never felt before. I didn't sleep that night or for weeks after that.
Rebecca addressing a crowd at March for Our Lives as a member of the Mobilizing MSD Alumni Group
How have you stayed involved?
About a week after the shooting I went home and experienced some of the devastation firsthand. I saw it. I felt it. I visited the school, and I can't even explain how awful it was. While I was there, I was able to do a lot of hands-on things to support the students and the community. When I returned to Philly, I started feeling helpless. I was concerned that I wasn't going to be able to do anything to help.
Then, initiatives began popping up all over the country led by alumni of the high school. A national alumni group called Mobilizing MSD Alumni formed — amazingly — about two hours after the shooting happened. The group is composed of over 11,000 alumni all over the world. As soon as I learned of the 30-plus MSD alumni living in Philly, I offered to serve as a co-leader of the Philly region group. We have been working on raising funds and awareness locally to support the Parkland students and the global fight against gun violence.
I was so worried that my high school would forever carry this legacy of violence, but when I saw the reaction of the students and alumni, I knew that the legacy of the school would be the "Never Again" movement that followed.
How does gun violence affect you personally?
A tragedy like this is unfathomable until it hits close to home. Parkland, Florida is an incredibly safe community. Nobody would have expected a shooting to happen there — until it did, and now the MSD community will never be the same. I never felt so strongly about taking action as I have since February 14. Thinking about my high school being so violently attacked motivated me to stand up against gun violence and make sure that voices are being heard on this issue. Imagining the scene that day, the classrooms I once sat in, the halls I once walked down, being brutally attacked, traumatized me intensely.
When I think about my nephew hiding under a desk, knowing at 12 years old that a "code red" meant an active shooter was in the area, it makes me so enraged. The fact that his generation has come to know this as part of their educational experience is unacceptable. It has to stop. No community is immune from gun violence and change has to happen on a national level for our children to feel safe.
Rebecca at March for Our Lives in Philadelphia
What prompted you to contact Philly Dance Fitness about your advocacy efforts?
Philly Dance Fitness was one of my first connections after moving here a year ago, so it felt natural to reach out and say, "I have to do something, can you please help me?" Deb, the owner, and I talked about a few different things and she said she thought having it align with an existing event would be the best way to reach people. It's not supposed to be too much pressure or make people feel like they have to make a big donation. Just by attending the event, people are supporting the cause!
What first brought you to Philly Dance Fitness?
When I moved here in April 2017, I didn't know anybody, literally not one person. There are only three other co-workers in my office where I serve as the program director for JAFCO, a small nonprofit that provides child welfare services for at-risk families and families raising children with special needs. I had mentioned that I was really into dance and had taken Zumba in Florida. One of my coworkers recommended that I look into Philly Dance Fitness. I went to a couple of classes and I was hooked! It was probably the first way that I started meeting people because I was going to the same classes regularly.
I also started taking classes that I knew would make me eligible to perform in Philadelphia Dance Day last July. That helped with feeling connected. Meeting people through rehearsal, getting to know the instructors — especially in those first couples of months, it gave me a reason to leave my apartment. It was social; it was also keeping me fit and helping me tap into the passion I've had for dance my whole life. It was really meaningful and definitely one of the reasons that I wanted to join with PDF on this event.
Do you think people without direct connections to recent school shootings will still be interested in supporting events like this?
Communities everywhere felt the impact of what happened in Parkland. A month after the shooting, over 800 marches were held all over the world. As soon as I made it known that I was an MSD alum, the community stepped up and offered their assistance. I had a team of friends marching beside me on March 24 in Philly amidst a 10,000-person crowd filled with students, parents, grandparents and advocates from all walks of life.
Whether they have been personally impacted or not, people everywhere are saying "enough is enough." Imagining it happening in your own school or town is enough to make most people feel the impact. This is a universal issue because it can happen anywhere and every community has to stand up and take action in order for change to happen. We cannot let this fade from the headlines just because it didn't happen in our own backyards. It is every community's responsibility to speak up and say NEVER AGAIN!
A portion of each ticket sale to our April 28 POUND workshop, held on April 28 at 6 p.m. at our Midtown studio, will go to Everytown for Gun Safety, a nonprofit organization that advocates for gun control and against gun violence. After the workout, Rebecca will give some brief information about the work Everytown does, her connection to the cause, and conduct a raffle with prizes, of which 100% of the proceeds will go to charity. Learn more about the event and RSVP here.

Mashup Mixtape


The conversion from hot dogs to whole foods intuitively felt right, and I succumbed without hesitation. After all, eating is something we do anyway, so why not put the good stuff in for all the effort it takes. But unlike eating, we don't have to exercise to go on living. People can exist for years with minimal physical activity.
I have rubbed elbows with strict vegan vegetarians who, at a glance, clearly hadn't picked up a dumbbell all their life. I was in good company. A breath of wind could blow them over and there they would be, laying on the ground expounding on how sensitive their skin was to the experience. That was me ten years ago, thin as a girl, all 138 pounds in touch with my extra-sensitive senses, wearing my bones like some guru cult leader. I was proud of my whiter than white eyes, flawless skin, and high sensitivity to the treacherous toxic world, until one very embarrassing moment that served as a wakeup call. I discovered some of my co-workers suspected I had AIDS. I took a long, hard look in the mirror that night and saw imbalance—and not just in myself, but in a whole subculture of strange little people. After some much-needed investigation, I was forced to face the fact that exercise, including weight lifting, is a vital component of overall health and well worth the time.
It's work maintaining a consistent exercise routine through, busy, stressful, tired, days, which for some of you is every day. It can be done but why bother? Why put out all that energy? Do the benefits outweigh the investment in time and effort?
This is a vital question to answer if you are going to be successful. Those times that I have slacked off or gone long periods with no exercise, it's always when I lost enthusiasm. There is no way you are going to face the demands of a weekly exercise routine without maintaining enthusiasm.
It struck me that staying motivated is far more important than laying down a killer routine. The way to establish enthusiasm is to have a clear mental picture of what being in shape will look and feel like. That's what works for me. When enthusiasm wanes and all I want to do is take a hot bath, I turn to my personal journal where I describe how great it feels to be in shape. I especially have to do this during the winter months where a warn home is more inviting than a frigid trail. The image that really works for me is young children playing.
The picture of carefree children playing provides an important motivation for me. It in composes so much more than just physical fitness, reminding that there is more to life than work and ambition. The image of playing children speaks of a love for the outdoors, joy of movement, awake and connected, sometimes solitude, other times camaraderie, most of all, clearing the mind, shedding worry and being in the moment. The finest times of prayer and connection is when running down forest path, laughing and singing between gasps of breath. Me and God, running side by side.


Louisville hoops coach criticizes participation trophies, but the real issue is kids quitting.
Let's end the year with Jeff Walz. Who's he? Walz is the head coach of the University of Louisville women's basketball team.
Walz was frustrated after a six-point loss to the University of Maryland this month and said a few things about youth sports.
I have written about kids getting trophies no matter how they play and what their team's record is. When I have visited schools, I have asked lots of kids about getting trophies.
I think it's okay to give everyone a trophy or a certificate for participating on a team — up to 8 or 10 years old. But kids are smart. After a while, they realize that if everyone gets a trophy, it isn't much of a prize.
Still, I don't think that kids getting too many trophies is a big problem in youth sports. The big problem is that, according to the National Alliance for Youth Sports, 70 percent of young athletes stop playing organized sports by age 13.
Most kids quit playing because the games and practices are no longer fun. Also, the pressure to win and teams that take only the best players send the message to most kids that they are not good enough to play.
That needs to stop. Everyone (coaches, kids and parents) needs to change the goals of youth sports. We have to stop trying to find a few elite athletes — the kind who play for Walz and other big-time college coaches — and start to encourage as many kids as possible to stay active and to keep playing sports.
To do that, we don't need more trophies, more travel teams or more expensive equipment. And we don't need coaches who act as if winning a basketball game is the most important thing in the world.
Instead, we need to put more fun back in youth sports. Or, in the words of the holiday season, more joy.
The joy of playing. The joy of competing. The joy of being part of a team.
Something to wish for as we enter a new year.

Pompeii No.25: Adding Coral For Good Health
This week I'm adding coral branches to the mural!
Coral, once believed to be a sea plant, is actually the cumulative skeletal remains of living animals called polyps. For thousands of years, many cultures have viewed coral as a decorative gem as well as protection against disease.
In Ancient Rome, coral was believed to protect against childhood disease and to avert evil, and it's still seen as good luck in Mediterranean countries and places like India, Tibet and Japan.
Piero della Francesca | Rizzoli
Piero della Francesca portrayed the Christ Child with this necklace of coral, and hanging from it, a coral branch. The painting dates to circa 1475.
Mantegna: I Maestro del Colore | Fratelli Fabbri
Mantegna (one of my favorite artists) hung a huge branch of coral above the Madonna and Child in this painting, which dates about 20 years later than della Francesca's. Below is a detail.
I'll be using della Francesca's and Mantegna's coral as models, but . . .
PubHist.com
. . . I wanted to include later images of coral to illustrate how the gem was revered through the ages. The painting above, by Jan Claesz, dates to circa 1609, and shows a girl who has both a coral necklace and a rattle that incorporates pink or white coral at its tip.
Christie's auction
Such rattles often doubled as whistles. Above are English rattles dating to the early 20th century, a full 400 years after the rattle in Jan Claesz's painting. My blogging friend Rosemary, of Where Five Valleys Meet, says of these rattles, "The coral section of the English Victorian rattles was there to sooth the baby's gums when teething. Coral did not chip or splinter, and is cool to the touch. The coral also provided some comfort and reassurance to parents because of its mystical protection, as you have mentioned."
Incidentally, these four rattles recently sold at auction for approximately $2200, total, which I imagine would make a collector of such items very happy.
I'll be hanging the coral branches
over the mural's three smaller garlands.
Above are the finished corals. As you can see, I scoured the seas for three branches that were similar in shape as well as size.

Pompeii No.24: Chairs for the Pompeii Room
The challenge of finding the right furniture for the Pompeii Room has been to find a set of chairs that are neoclassic — either klismos chairs or a style that was inspired by klismos chairs.
As I mentioned in an earlier posting, here, my friend Sandy and I have been visiting a monthly brocante in our town of St. Petersburg, Florida. When we saw these chairs several months ago, Sandy agreed with me that they would be perfect for the Pompeii Room, so much so that she insisted on gifting me with them!!
The chairs came with this mustard yellow paint rubbed on them, which I suppose was meant to make them attractive in a "shabby chic" sort of way. The gaudy color probably worked in my favor because I guess that a lot of people could not see past it to recognize the chairs' wonderful details.
Each chair has a rope twist decoration and a handsome brass medallion, and therein lies a story:
www.neptunepictues.com
In 1805, Admiral Lord Nelson won the Battle of Trafalgar, destroying 22 ships of the Franco-Spanish fleet, and without losing a single British ship. It was Britain's greatest naval victory, and one in which the great admiral lost his life.
The victory, plus Nelson's heroic death, inspired a British craze of all things naval, and that in turn impacted the neoclassic style that was sweeping both Britain and the Continent at the time.
The rope twist decoration (usually seen with elements called buttons) is actually a reference to the Royal Navy and the Battle of Trafalgar!
click to enlarge | 1stdibs.com | wakefieldscearce.com | 1stdibs.com
Here are three Regency chairs of similar design, each with the rope twist decoration and buttons that are also featured on my chairs. You can click on the image to see the details.
I'm getting my Regency chairs refinished, and I'll be showing them off at a later date, as all the elements of the room come together.
And now, back to the mural . . .

Pompeii No.23: The 4 Styles
Pompeian murals fall into one of four styles of decoration, and I thought this would be a good point in the Pompeii Room project to stop and talk about them. I'll do an abbreviated description of the four styles, and then you can determine for yourself how my own mural would be characterized (bearing in mind that it's still a work in progress).
The earliest Pompeian murals were meant to appear as a rich masonry, though they were in fact faux granite and marble in stucco relief. The wall below was scored in three dimensions, and what remains of the trompe l'oeil marble is almost lost.
studyblue.com
Below is another example of the First Style (also called Masonry Style).
www.accla.org
Grand Illusions | Phaidon | Cass | Leighton | 1988
Above is a detail of a 1982 Art Deco wall by the great contemporary muralist, Richard Haas. Some of Pompeii's First Style surfaces probably looked a lot like Haas' rendition of marble.
The Second Style (also called Architectural or Illusionist Style) was an artisitic revolution. The Pompeian rooms, which usually did not receive a lot of light, were now painted to bring the outdoors inside, and to give the illusion of opened space. The home of P. Fannius Synistor (which is the inspiration for my own room) included a bedroom (cubiculum) with an imaginary cityscape, below.
click to enlarge | Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin, spring, 2010
You can see a landscape in the background of Synistor's room, and some of the Second Style murals carried that one step further, with lovingly detailed gardens, like the one below.
click to enlarge | Pompeii: The Last Day | Wilkinson | 2003
An important element throughout the Second Style was trompe l'oeil details. Bowls of fruit, vases of flowers and musical instruments abounded. Below, the scroll, ink pot, wax tablets and piles of coins were a not-too-subtle reminder of the homeowner's education and wealth.
click to enlarge | The Art of Pompeii | Magagnini | de Luca
Another facet of the Second Style was the depiction of monumental figures, and there's no better or more famous example than the Salon of Mysteries, in the Villa of the Mysteries, below.
sites.davidson.edu
The Third Style (also called Ornate Style) was a reaction to the open vistas of the Second Style. The Pompeians were ready to reclaim and flatten most of the wall space that they had once opened up.
Pompeii | Coarelli | Riverside | 2002
Typical of the Third Style were pictures mounted on candelabra, small paintings centered on blank panels, and fantasy architectural details that were thin and elongated — all shown above.
click to enlarge | www.boundless.com | monm.edu
Walls of the Third Style were often barer and more stylized than my first example, such as these two. In the Third Style, the colors red, black and deep yellow predominated.
The Fourth Style is the culmination of all the previous styles, and probably because so much of Pompeii was rebuilt after an earthquake in 62 A.D., it's the style most often found in Pompeii.
The Fourth Style incorporated all three previous styles. Walls were usually divided into three or five panels of flat colors, but some vistas opened up, revealing fantasy architecture with elongated forms. Both of these handsome rooms are from the House of the Vetti, and in the bottom room you can see a wainscoting that's a nod to the First Style.

Linear motor with large continuous thrust / mass of mover ratio is required for lift-motion applications.
In order to meet such a requirement, we developed a new cylindrical linear motor (CLM).
In this paper, first, we will explain the motor structure and the thrust generating principle of CLM. Next, we will introduce the results of the three-dimensional FEM magnetic field analysis on the relation between mover structure and thrust characteristics, and report on the mover structure to maximize the thrust of CLM. Finally, we will introduce the experimental results of a prototype CLM.

Breweries / By Bulters
Maidstone has a long tradition of commercial brewing dating back to before 1650. At the beginning of the twentieth century there were still four independent brewers operating in the town, but by 1972 the last of these had been taken over and ceased production.
In 1983, after an interval of eleven years, Phil and Debbie Goacher opened their own brewery in the Loose valley thus reviving the art of brewing in the county town. However, in 1990, the need for expansion saw the plant moved to new industrial premises in darkest Tovil.
The modern brewing plant was purpose built and constructed along classical lines, allowing for full-mash brewing and open fermentation in stainless steel vessels. In addition, all Goacher's Ales are produced from 100% malted barley and whole Kentish hops without the addition of sugars or artificial colouring of any kind.

INQUEST TO BE HELD INTO REAL IRA MURDER OF DRUG DEALER KIERAN DOHERTY
AN inquest into the Real IRA murder of a drug dealer over four years ago is due to get underway today.
Kieran Doherty (31) was found shot dead at Braehead Road, Derry on the outskirts of the city on 24 February, 2010.
The father of one from the Brandywell area was stripped and bound before he was shot dead.
Dissident republican group, the Real IRA, claimed responsibility for the abduction and killing.
It claimed the former republican prisoner had been one of its members and had admitted his involvement in a €500,000 cannabis factory uncovered by gardai in Donegal the previous month.
The dead man's family have strongly denied he was involved in the drugs trade.
His family alleged that MI5 tried to recruit him as an informant.
A preliminary hearing in the inquest into the killing is due to get underway today in Belfast.
Last year there was furore when it was revealed that Doherty's family received compensation for his murder.

Skylanders Trap Team may have the series' most creative character designs yet
By Samit Sarkar@SamitSarkar Jun 10, 2014, 9:00pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Skylanders Trap Team may have the series' most creative character designs yet
Activision's philosophy with its Skylanders franchise is to tie new gameplay mechanics to innovations in the design of the series' figures.
Skylanders Trap Team, the upcoming fourth entry in the franchise, gives players the ability to capture villains with special elemental trap toys and then use the characters for good. This introduces more than 40 new characters that can be leveled up like traditional Skylanders, and we saw some of them in action during a demo at E3 2014 today.
Executive producer Scott Kraiger loaded up a level called Phoenix Perch and a new character, the Skylander Trap Master known as Snap Shot, who's equipped with a sword that doubles as a bow and arrow. All the Trap Masters feature special weapons imbued with traptanium crystals, which allow the Trap Master to capture villains of the proper element (there are eight different ones).
Snap Shot is a tech trap character, so he was able to do battle with Shrednaught, a lumberjack tank featuring a rotating chainsaw that's run by two trolls. After the player caught Shrednaught, we were able to hear the two trolls complaining inside the physical trap sitting on the Skylanders portal — "it's so cramped in here, I can't even tell which troll I am," one of the creatures said. At that point, Kraiger transported Shrednaught back into his game and was able to blow through a group of enemies with the chainsaw.
Kraiger then showed off a number of the other Trap Masters and capture-able villains, with the highlight being Painyatta, a magic villain that takes the form of a walking piñata that whacks things with a rainbow lollipop. Painyatta also has a secondary attack in which it vomits candy. In addition, we got a look at the Skylanders Academy, a hub world between levels that features a vault with which players can manage the villains they've captured.
The creativity on display in the dozen or so characters we saw was impressive, and according to Josh Taub, vice president of product management at Activision, that's one of the most special elements of Skylanders. Unlike Disney Interactive's Disney Infinity franchise and Nintendo's upcoming entry into the toy market with Amiibo, the developers of Skylanders don't have the advantage of working with beloved characters from established brands.
"The piece that makes us incredibly unique in this environment is, we're creating characters and gameplay from the hearts and minds of our developers that has that AAA quality across it, and that's our barometer. We don't rely on a stable of older IP, and we don't rely on [...] people recognizing those characters," said Taub in an interview following the demo. "Of course it's challenging, but it's the challenge that makes Skylanders unique."
Skylanders Trap Team is set for release Oct. 5 on Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii, Wii U, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

Q: RAID controller detecting SSD as foreign after every reboot My server, an R610, has been detecting my SSD as foreign after every reboot. It has a PERC 6/i RAID controller, but there's no actual RAID stuff (I just have all the drives as their own VDs).
This had happened a few times over the last year or two, but it's been happening every single time I reboot now. The drive is a Kingston SSD (240GB, 2.5"), and the SMART status doesn't show anything odd.
I do have two other drives, neither of which are affected when this happens. Does anyone know what might be happening?

A: Unfortunately it's a) normal, and b) it's not something you can fix easily.
The reason is you're using non-Dell part with Dell controller. Anything not reporting "DELL" with the firmware as part of the m_VendorId field inside SCSIOP_INQUIRY (0x12) command response WILL NOT function properly and will definitely bring in the issues you're experiencing from time to time. The only reliable way to get rid of the behavior you're suffering from is to flash Dell firmware into your SSD or if it's not possible - replace "alien" SSD with something saying "F, I'm Dell!" to RAID/HBA.

Evacuee's ; Criminals?

It is indeed sad when you have to worry about who you are helping...
I held my tongue when an evacuee sexually assaulted a 13-yr old girl in Dallas last week.
Yesterday, another evacuee tried to abduct a 14-yr old girl on her way home from school in Ft Worth.
Apparently it isn't known how many sex offenders and other criminals are out there. I'm afraid there will be more of these reports to come.... very afraid..

Ok..here's the story...
Criminals a concern in shelters
Hundreds of parolees, sex offenders may be among evacuees in area
07:02 AM CDT on Sunday, September 11, 2005
By JEFF MOSIER and DEBRA DENNIS / The Dallas Morning News
Hundreds of parolees, sex offenders and criminal defendants awaiting trial could be living among the thousands of hurricane evacuees in local shelters.
But in some locations, city officials have not identified those evacuees and don't know what restrictions or monitoring they had in Louisiana.
Some city officials say they don't have the staffing or system in place to fully investigate people's backgrounds.
Lisa Campbell, who is staying at the Dallas Convention Center with her 3- and 11-year-olds, said she worries about who might be sleeping next to her.
"I'm keeping a close eye on them," she said about her children. "There should be some way to find out who's there."
In the Fort Worth shelters, the lists of evacuees are being cross-referenced with registered sex offender databases.
But there are no checks to determine whether individuals are on parole or probation. Dallas officials are conducting more in-depth checks and also looking for people with outstanding warrants.
State officials say they are well aware they have a large influx of people who are in some stage of the Louisiana criminal justice system. There are nearly 14,000 people on parole or probation in New Orleans and its surrounding areas, Louisiana officials said, and 4,500 registered sex offenders were living in the 14 parishes hit by Hurricane Katrina.
No one knows how many of those past offenders are in Texas.
"We have been assisting Louisiana officials on ways to locate probationers and parolees who may have taken refuge in various shelters across Texas," said Mike Viesca, spokesman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
"We will immediately place those offenders under supervision."
State officials are transferring databases of parolees and probationers from Louisiana to Texas so all relevant data will be available. Toll-free numbers have also been set up in Louisiana and Texas for parolees or probationers to notify officials of their whereabouts.
Those efforts do not include people out on bail. The local court system is still struggling to recover, and the governor has suspended court proceedings throughout Louisiana through Sept. 25.
Jerry Ritchie, assistant deputy chief of the federal probation office in Dallas, said his office has set up tables at the largest area shelters and has registered dozens of people who have volunteered information about their legal status.
"These people are trying to salvage their lives," he said. "We are not trying to get them in trouble, but they need to let someone know who they are and where they are."
The system is mainly voluntary while people are still trying to get settled into their new homes or in temporary housing.
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has not yet compiled numbers of Louisiana residents who have registered with Texas parole and probation officials. Officials in both states are still working on plans to locate the parolees, probationers and sex offenders who don't notify law enforcement soon.
Terry Grisham, a spokesman for the Tarrant County sheriff's office, said tracking and identifying parolees or probationers is daunting. For now, food, housing and medical needs take precedence.
"We are having a hard enough time identifying people. Right now, we just want them safe and fed," Mr. Grisham said. "We're giving the benefit of the doubt that they're honest citizens."
Others have taken a harsher stand. At a vacant Wal-Mart in McKinney that was converted into a shelter, one evacuee was turned away because he was a registered sex offender.
"We sent him back to the bus area and wished him good luck," said Capt. Randy Roland, a police spokesman.
The man, whose name was not released, was sent back to a bus depot in Mesquite that was used as a clearinghouse for evacuees. It's not clear where he went next.
One man who recently tried to register at the Wylie shelter at a National Guard armory was arrested for having outstanding warrants in Tarrant County, said city spokesman Mark Witter.
Plano city officials considered running criminal checks, but after checking federal regulations, they believed that would require them to fingerprint everyone and send that information off for verification before allowing anyone to stay in the shelter.
"We determined it wasn't feasible," said Plano Fire Chief Bill Peterson.
Many more evacuees are staying in North Texas with family, friends or strangers who have been generous enough to offer them shelter. That also brings up questions about security.
A New Orleans man was arrested Tuesday while staying with distant relatives and charged with sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl.
Orlando Dale Carmen, a criminal justice professor at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, said it's likely that some of these people will stay in the area and not return for trial or check in with their parole officers.
"Even during normal times, people flee," Dr. Carmen said. "You always have that problem. The difference is that you have such a big number."
Staff writers Tiara M. Ellis and Mike Jackson and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Welcome to Part 2 of our Elements & Principles of Design Series where we will be discussing the Element 'Line'. How to understand it. How to apply it. And of course, lots of pretty pictures of displays that harness its power, to inspire and delight.
A line is a mark or stroke long in proportion to its breadth. Lines are normally considered in terms of marks such as those made by a pencil or rows such as rows of houses or soldiers. A common characteristic is that it connects two points and can lead us (or our viewpoint) towards or away from one of these points or ends.
Lines can be straight, curved, thick, thin, continuous, broken, jagged, diagonal, vertical, horizontal and the list goes on.
A line can be placed in a drawing or space as a solid physical item. It can also be formed as a line of sight where the viewer interprets a number of elements which are placed in such a way that the eye connects them.
Line is a powerful element used to make connections or a sense of direction or even used to create a mood. A soft, wide translucent line may create a relaxed and fluid mood while a straight, long and thin line may capture an aggressive or energetic atmosphere.
When we compose a window or display we can link the different elements by thinking about surfaces and objects as being part of a continuous line. This consideration applies equally from smaller elements such as props or accessories to larger elements such as mannequins or tables even up to built in objects such as walls and backdrops.
1. This window display is an excellent example of the use of line to create an energetic, playful mood. The strong diagonal lines of rope draw the eye upwards and away to create movement. This effect is enhanced by a second line of the pants which seemingly fly up into the air out of the suitcases.
2. Here the strong horizontal line of the tree branch is softened by the delicate, meandering line of yellow mushrooms and foliage to create a more balanced composition. The second, perpendicular line of foliage winding down to the foot of the mannequins connects the separate elements in the display together visually. The designer has employed a clever use of the bright yellow colour to tie in to the clothing on the mannequins, picture this composition with mushrooms in any other colour and the effect would be lost.
3. A stunning example of visual merchandising in this jewellery display, where the designer has created a strong graphic feature using two-dimensional lines around three-dimensional products. The display works as a cohesive whole, despite the petite size and large quantity of the jewellery products, by framing and grouping them together.
4. A clever use of lines to represent faces in this minimalist product display, which highlights and enhances the merchandise – glasses – with very little cost or fuss. A perfect example of the concept 'less is more'.
5. This window shows how powerful and eye-catching different types of lines can be. Here the thick vertical black and white lines create a bold statement and are the only design feature in this monochromatic display. The placement directly in the centre of the window divides it using the rule of thirds and makes the lines and mannequin feel like they're leaping out at the viewer.
6. Angular lines created by the coloured backdrop and the poses of the mannequins are softened by a fluid, curving line of spheres. The red dress on the central mannequin creates a vertical line of colour which breaks up the white in the background and increases the feeling of energy and modernity.
7. The sinuous curved line of the mannequin's pose in this window enhances the diagonal line created by the boxes 'flying' from her hands. The curving lines of the ribbons floating through the boxes soften the composition to create a playful, feminine atmosphere.
8. Picture this display with a mannequin standing straight with her hands by her side and the effect would be lost. This composition works in large part because of the diagonal line created by the mannequin's pose which creates a sense of naturalism and relaxed glamour by contrasting with the straight planes of the backdrop and canvas.
9. This row of mannequins is elevated to another level by tipping each mannequin progressively more on to its side to create a line of bodies, drawing the eye all the way along to the shoe on the outstretched leg of the last mannequin.
Stay tuned for Part 3 of our series where we will discuss 'Shape/Form', how to understand and apply it when creating a display and explore examples of its use in real life.

"Rainy Day Daydream" Next
"His Hero"
"What Have You Done?" is the twenty-fourth episode in the first season of Adventure Time. It is the twenty-fourth episode overall.
Finn and Jake capture Ice King under the order of Princess Bubblegum without even knowing what he has done wrong.
Finn and Jake are seen in the Ice Kingdom at night, trying to avoid some Guard Penguins wielding Ice Axes. Finn says that their secret mission to capture the Ice King is underway, and then says he probably should not say that stuff out loud. The Ice King is seen in his depressed mode playing with a heart puzzle on his bed. Finn rings Ice King's doorbell and Ice King appears to confront the guest. At first, Ice King tries zapping, but then realizes no one is there. He notices that a small can of peanut brittle was left on his doorstep. Ice King opens the can and suddenly, Jake springs out of the can and grabs his crown. Ice King attempts to shoot them but he is unable to because his crown has all his powers in it. Finn yells out "Wrap attack!!" and ties up Ice King with a rope. Jake asks why they did this again, and Finn says Princess Bubblegum explained it all but was not very precise. They return with Ice King to the Candy Kingdom, which seems to be deserted. Princess Bubblegum arrives wearing a plague doctor mask and spraying a green fog everywhere. She takes them to a wall with a face on it and the face asks for the password. Bubblegum then pinches the face's cheek, and the wall suddenly turns into a door.
Princess Bubblegum says that the door leads to the dungeon where they would put the Ice King. Before Princess Bubblegum can have a chance to explain what exactly it was that Ice King did, she is called to the Grand Hall by Manfried. Finn and Jake decide to guard the Ice King until she returns.
Finn and Jake throw Ice King in a jail cell, with only two bars, but then add more. Jake looks at Ice King's crown and says it was probably stolen, but Ice King states that he made it with the magic that he stole. Ice King begins to tell the two that he is innocent and that he hasn't committed a recent crime in a while and did not deserve to be here, however, Jake disagrees. Ice King shows them a mirror (which was broken repeatedly after Ice King accidentally slammed it on the ground) explaining that they were the true jerks and they deserved to be in jail. Finally, Finn is convinced and decides to let Ice King go. At first, Ice King thinks it is a trick, but later decides to go along with it. Finn and Jake state that since they're the bad guys this time, they have to go to jail. Ice King gets his crown, opens a magic door, and escapes. Princess Bubblegum then walks into the dungeon and puts on a pair of pink gloves for interrogation. But when she turns around and sees Finn and Jake in jail, she gets irritated when Finn tells her that they let Ice King go.
The Princess takes the two to the grand hall where they see all the candy people lying in beds embedded in ice. Princess Bubblegum explains that Ice King kind of did this and kind of did not. 3 days ago, the Ice King wanted to show off his new trick to the princess by making snow from his beard but everyone became infected with Freezer Burn Flu. Princess Bubblegum said Ice King did not mean to cause the disease, and she learned that the only way to cure it was to obtain the "sad howls" of Ice King himself. But, when she begged to Ice King to help, he thought she was hitting on him. So she knew the only way to take the Ice King's howls was by force, that's why she told Finn and Jake to capture him.
Finn says he just cannot beat people up for nothing because it is against his alignment, but he promises he will find a way to save the Candy Kingdom. Princess Bubblegum thanks him, but she almost bursts into tears under all of the stress, so Finn calms her. Then Finn and Jake head back to the Ice Kingdom to obtain the howls.
When Finn and Jake enter, Ice King comes out and asks if they want to participate in game night, because he now thinks that Finn and Jake are his best friends for letting him go. But when Finn tells Ice King to howl, he says he could not possibly howl without giggling. Ice King walks over to Finn and says that there was a bug on him, which in reality was just Jake, only smaller. Ice King hits Finn, wanting him to get the "bug" off. Finn gets an idea on this and pretends he is dead. Showing guilt, Ice King picks up Finn's body and howls extremely loudly that it reached all the way to the Candy Kingdom, curing all of the inhabitants. When Princess Bubblegum sees that her people are getting healthy, she faints of happiness. Ice King then drops Finn and walks away. Finn says that was a mean thing to do and Jake says that if he came across Finn's lifeless body he would "clasp him dramatically for a kajillion years." Finn then plays dead and Jake carries him and wails back to the Candy Kingdom.

As written in the storyboard, the password that Princess Bubblegum uses to gain entrance to the dungeon is "ttubllaw." Reversed, it is "wallbutt."
Princess Bubblegum said, in German, "Ich bin so glücklich! Ich könnte... Ich könnte..." (in English: "I'm so happy! I could... I could...") and passes out before she could finish.
Phil Face appears on a pot that Finn turns around.
On the book Princess Bubblegum reads about curing the Freezer Burn Flu, there is "5318008" written on the left page, which is the numerical equivalent of the word "Boobies", but written backwards.
As Finn says "On your feet" to the Ice King, the Ice King carves "I.L.P.B." inside a heart on the cell wall, presumably meaning "I love Princess Bubblegum."
In the flashback showing the Candy people getting sick from touching Ice King's beard flakes, the green gumdrop eats the flakes, then immediately his eyes and mouth turn red, and he falls over with X's on his eyes. This most likely means that he died from ingesting the flakes, while the others merely touched them and became ill.
This episode takes place after "The Duke" because Finn knows what penitence means.
The fumigation suit the Princess is wearing is modeled after a plague doctor costume, which was worn by doctors during the Black Death, and has since become a popular Venetian Carnival costume. Although, being Princess Bubblegum, the typical black was changed to pink.
The "Oculus of Rehabilitation" character guarding the Ice King is a reference to the philosopher Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon.
There are several more references to Dungeons & Dragons in this episode. Ice King casts "Detect Secret Doors" when leaving the dungeon, a classic spell from the game. At one point Finn says that keeping the Ice King captive is against his alignment, which is a morality system in the game.
The box that contains the Ice King's board game reads, "Poots and Bladders," a play off of the game "Chutes and Ladders."
When Finn and Jake attempt to get the Ice King to "voluntarily" give up his howls, Ice King rolls on the floor and exclaims, "I'm a Banana!" There was a viral video in the late 2000s where a Cartoon banana man said the same thing, seemingly for no reason. The video, which was originally created in the year 2000, is entitled Rejected by legendary animator Don Hertzfeldt.
This episode was previously titled "Ice King Has a Point." The Frederator blog reported that "Ice King Has a Point" had the production code 692-027, replacing a canceled episode with production code 692-006.[1]
Storyline analysis
Princess Bubblegum's medicine book depicts Ice King's wails of pain directed to possible candy people, implying that Freezer Burn Flu has happened before.
The Ice King claimed he made his crown with magic he stole. This was later proven partially true in "Evergreen," when Urgence Evergreen and Gunther steal the powerful ruby eyes of the ancient lava dog Magwood to power the crown's magic. Therefore, the crown was made with stolen magic, only it wasn't the Ice King who made it. Ice King's statement in this episode is possibly a result of the crown rubbing off some of its past memories on him.
In the first shot when Ice King is holding up the mirror before it shatters, Finn is on the left and Jake is on the right. However, when Ice King is holding up the mirror shard again, Jake is on the left and Finn is on the right.
Just before releasing Ice King when Finn says "On your feet," his mouth does not move.
When Finn and Jake are in the Ice King's cell, the mirror he smashed is still leaning up against the cot.
While Ice King was flying away from the Candy Kingdom, his eyes appear as black dots instead of white eyes.
In the same scene, he appears to be flying away without using his beard or hair to fly.
