Within the House, the two principal positions were that of Speaker and Treasurer. By far, the most important position was that of Speaker—literally the spokesman for the House: communicating resolutions, thanks, reprimands and serving as liaison with the Council. As may be expected the most lucrative position was that of Treasurer, who was paid a percentage of all money circulating through his office. From Richard Henry's viewpoint the most obvious deficiency in the system was the combination of these two offices, between 1738 and 1766, in one man, Robinson—his antagonist.

A Biography of Richard Henry Lee (1732-1794) < …

Despite his public disavowal of slavery, like other planters, Lee maintained slaves on his own plantation. In fact, of 410 slave owners within Westmoreland County, only seventeen owned more than Richard Henry who retained forty-three slaves on his Chantilly plantation. Inheriting from his father forty slaves over ten years old and several others under that age, Richard Henry owned approximately the same number of slaves throughout his lifetime. Owning slaves in and of itself would not have been cause for criticism, for even the most vociferous of the planters regarding slavery as an evil held slaves. Lee, however, went further than the majority of his fellow planters and formulated a plan for selling slaves.

LEE, Richard Henry, (brother of Arthur Lee and Francis Lightfoot Lee, and great–grandfather of Blair Lee), a Delegate and a Senator from Virginia; born at "Stratford," in Westmoreland County, Va., January 20, 1732; after a course of private instruction attended Wakefield Academy, England; returned in 1751; justice of the peace for Westmoreland County 1757; member, house of burgesses 1758-1775; Member of the Continental Congress 1774-1779; sponsor of the independence resolution; a signer of the Declaration of Independence; author of the first national Thanksgiving Day proclamation issued by Congress at York, Pa., October 31, 1777; member, State house of delegates 1777, 1780, 1785; served as colonel of the Westmoreland Militia; again a Member of the Continental Congress 1784-1785 and 1787 and served as President of the Congress in 1784; member of the Virginia convention which ratified the Federal Constitution in 1788; elected to the United States Senate and served from March 4, 1789, until his resignation October 8, 1792; served as President pro tempore during the Second Congress; retired from public life; died at his home, "Chantilly," Westmoreland County, Va., June 19, 1794; interment in the old family burying ground at "Mount Pleasant," near Hague, Westmoreland County, Va.

Richard Henry Lee in many ways personified the elite Virginia gentry

Sharing with his family a finely developed sense of moral rectitude, Richard Henry frequently engaged in public battles for idealistic causes. Self-righteousness permeated his writings. Permanently affected by his fraternal relationships and the seemingly interminable struggle for his siblings' inheritance, Lee was always righteously indignant over what he perceived as abuses of privilege. Envious of others' privileges, his actions were at least partially influenced by his anger. Although sanctimonious and self-evidently ethically correct in his views, Richard Henry, in his bitterness, was often blatantly opportunistic. Disappointed repeatedly in his bid for lucrative public appointments, he shamelessly foraged for alternative sources of income.

Can anyone do a compare/contrast between these models and can they be mixed and matched? I am primarily interested in RAF bombers and Luftwaffe night-fighters.

I do like that the Collectair site has pictures of most of the models and they certainly look very nice.

Greg G113 Nov 2017 2:09 p.m. PST

For my German night fighters I have a mix of Scotia Grendel and Heroics & Ros.
Me110G – Scotia
Ju88G – Scotia
Do217N – H&R
He219 – H&R
Me110C – H&R

There seems to be no visual difference in size, the only difference is that Scotia has deeper engraved canopies.

alan L Supporting Member of TMP13 Nov 2017 2:33 p.m. PST

Very helpful: thank you.

What do you use for the RAF?

KSmyth13 Nov 2017 2:43 p.m. PST

I have Lancasters, Halifaxes and Wellingtons. All Scotia. Generally I think Scotia is more consistent in their lines, scaling and detail.

I have been collecting 1/300 1/285 scale aircraft for some time. Scotia is good but so is MSD (there Luftwaffe 1946 line. Theses include many of the British and German aircraft you would be interested in.

I also like the never builds (aircraft that were designed of maybe even in testing but did not get into production.

Texas Jack13 Nov 2017 11:20 p.m. PST

How is the service from Scotia?

kmahony11114 Nov 2017 5:51 p.m. PST

Scotia generally has better sculpts and some of the H&R models suffer from crooked wings. However Scotia doesnt scribe the under sides of the wings if that bothers you. I've got painted photos of some of the German Nightfighters here (excuse the messed up website)

Edward Cullen - A Twihard Count?

Today on The Muppet Mindset, we welcome our good friend Jarrod Fairclough. Jarrod has his own blog that you should all check out as well! Jarrod comes to us today with an essay about everyone's favorite numerical obsessed vampire and his lack of respect in Hollywood.

Jarrod Fairclough - A new craze has swept the world.  A craze that has the girls swooning and their boyfriend’s muttering obscenities under their breath.  I’m talking, of course, about the newest fad. Vampires.

With Twilight, True Blood and The Vampire Diaries, it seems that everywhere you look, a vampire is being held up on a pedestal.  Girls are kissing their boyfriends while thinking about Robert Pattinson, or that Taylor guy.  I admit, I am not savvy with these shows, as I haven’t seen any of them.  I’m not in their key demographic you see, being a heterosexual male and all.

But I know for a fact that many girls are drawn to, and I quote one of my friends here, “Robert Sexingson”.  And yet aren’t we forgetting the most famous vampire of them all?  One that has shown himself to be able to get the ladies just as well as Mr. Sexingson?  A man that has been around for nearly forty years, and hasn’t aged a day?  Count von Count of Sesame Street.  They call him The Count, because he loves to count things!  Well, that, and he inherited his father’s royal title...

Yes, this man is being forgotten in the recent craze of vampires!  Where are all the paparazzi on Sesame Street, seeing what The Count had for dinner?  (For the record, it was 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 turkey salad rolls.  5 turkey salad rolls.  Ah ah ah!)  Why is it that this poor vampire is being overlooked?  Where’s his new film series “Twilight: Counting the Moon”?  I’m sure many girls would love to take the role of his Bella.  In fact many have...

I firstly direct you to the lovely actress, Susan Sarandon.  One night in 1989, herself and The Count were spotted driving home from, what we assume was, a date.  Did Tim Robbins know about this?  Already we see the pulling power that Count von Count has with the ladies.  He managed to get Susan Sarandon to cheat on her de facto.  After a bit of research, this reporter found that Sarandon had a child in 1989.  Do we need to call Maury for a DNA test?  Let’s see Edward Cullen get a girl to cheat on her boyfriend (although wasn’t Kristen Stewart going out with that kid from that awful Sky High movie when they got together?)

Then, there are the Countess’.  1, 2, 3 Countess’!  Ah ah ah!  We begin with a lady, only known as “The Countess” According to Muppet Wiki; this lady was to become The Count’s wife, after he had asked her to marry him many times!  In true Hollywood style, this relationship seemed not to work out as the series became bigger and his profile raised, with The Count preferring to rub shoulders with younger ladies, and the previously mentioned Susan Sarandon!

Countess number two is Countess Dahling von Dahling.  This lady was only seen briefly in Season 12, but seemed to be a much younger girl than The Count’s ex-fiancé.  She was dumped after a short while, perhaps because her dog became too much for The Count to handle.  Or perhaps it was because of Lady Two, another vampire The Count had a one night fling with.

Then we come to perhaps The Count’s one true lady love.  Countess von Backwards.  This Countess has stayed with The Count for more years than his previous girlfriends, including his fiancé.  What makes this relationship last?  They spent a lot of time together, having dinner together every night.  The Count will always sing to her until she yells “STOP!” (Or, more accurately, “SHHTOP!”), and every plate breaks in the place.  This seems to happen every night, with no regard to the poor waiters and waitress’.  Not caring about the little people is a Hollywood tradition!

So, as we can see, Count von Count deserves some sort of fame in this whole vampire craze.  He has the Hollywood thing down pat; after all he’s been doing it since 1972.  He can get the ladies just as well as Edward Cullen.  I’m sure just like teenagers today there’s a lot of angst in his life.  So, come on Kristen Stewart, chick from X-Men, Boon from LOST and Vinnie from Home and Away (That’s a shout out to you Australian’s out there!)  Ditch your silly little shows and movies, and hang out with Count von Count of Sesame Street!  After all, he’s been in the game longer than any of you have been born...

Weekly Muppet Wednesdays: Uncle Deadly

Written by Ryan Dosier.

Performed by...
Jerry Nelson (1976-1990)
Matt Vogel (2011-present)

First appearance...
The Muppet Show Episode 119: Vincent Price (1976)

Most recent appearance...
Muppets Most Wanted (2014)

Best known role...
The Phantom of The Muppet Show; Tex Richman's henchman

Memorable quote...
"Ah, what fools these Muppets be!"
"I may have a terrifying name and an evil English accent, but that does not preclude the fact that I am a Muppet, not a Moopet!"

Uncle Deadly is one of the more popular of the "fan-favorite" characters from The Muppet Show. This seems to be derived from his impressive puppet design and his performance by the great Jerry Nelson.
The phantom creature first appeared in the episode of The Muppet Show guest starring Vincent Price. Here, Uncle Deadly and Vincent Price meet vacationers Fozzie Bear and Gonzo the Great as they go to stay at a Transylvanian house. Deadly and Price attempt (and succeed) to scare the bear and the weirdo, thus Uncle Deadly's mannerisms of being a spook were born. Uncle Deadly also performed "You've Got a Friend" with Vincent Price as the finale of the episode--unfortunately this performance was cut from the DVD release of The Muppet Show: Season 1 due to music rights issues.

Uncle Deadly received a proper introduction in the episode guest starring Twiggy. Here, the entire cast tells Kermit they've seen a phantom lurking backstage at the show. Kermit doesn't believe any of them--that is, until the phantom appears behind him. Uncle Deadly threatens Kermit if he doesn't stop doing the show at once. Kermit refuses, of course, and eventually Uncle Deadly explains that he died in this very theater during one of his brilliant performances. He played Othello until he was killed (by the critics).

He appeared once more during the run of the first season in the Broadway Medley with Ethel Merman, and then wasn't seen again until "Consider Yourself" with Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy. His first solo number came in the form of the song "The Sheik of Araby." Uncle Deadly played the titular sheik who welcomed a young Arabian girl into his tent for... pinochle. Yeah, let's go with that.

In the third season, Uncle Deadly began to appear in "Muppet Melodrama" sketches with Miss Piggy and Wayne (of Wayne and Wanda fame). In each of these sketches, Uncle Deadly played the evil villain, Miss Piggy played the damsel in distress, and Wayne played the heroic hero. However, also in each of these sketches, Wayne and Uncle Deadly bonded over something (such as tap shoes) and ended with Miss Piggy still helpless and endangered.

Uncle Deadly did not have a leading or even supporting role in any of the Muppet movies, but he did appear in the finales of both The Muppet Movie and The Muppets Take Manhattan. He had a very brief cameo during Michael Eisner's introduction to The Muppets at Walt Disney World where he assisted in ripping Eisner's clothes.

Uncle Deadly will make a triumphant and unexpected return in November 2011 in The Muppets where he will play evil henchman and second in command to Tex Richman (Chris Cooper). This will mark Uncle Deadly's first speaking appearance in over 30 years.

In 2000, there was a pitch for a Muppet "Goosebumps"-style TV show called Uncle Deadly's House of Badness. The pitch was composed by Jim Lewis, Kirk Thatcher, and John Derevlany. It is unknown what role Uncle Deadly would have played or how the show would have been structured, as there is no knowledge of a pilot or even a completed script for the project.

In 2005, Palisades Toys released an exclusive action figure of Uncle Deadly. He came packaged with a Muppet ghost and a Muppet skull and came in three different paint variations: Classic, "Steppin' Out," and a completely white-washed semi-glow-in-the-dark version.

Uncle Deadly has also made frequent appearances in the Muppet comics by BOOM! Studios, and appeared briefly (and for the first time in full-body form) in OK Go's music video for "The Muppet Show Theme Song."

The Muppets need Uncle Deadly because he represents the scary side of the world that they can't represent because they're too... fluffy. If the rumored Halloween special next year gets off the ground, Uncle Deadly and the rest of the Muppet Monsters should play a huge part. Uncle Deadly could easily represent the leader of the Muppets Monsters.

It seems that Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller (with some help from director James Bobin) have figured out that Uncle Deadly would make an incredible evil sidekick to a Muppet movie villain. We'll have to see how he does in The Muppets this fall.

Interview with Sesame Street's Louis Henry Mitchell, pt. 2

Interview with Louis Henry Mitchell – Part 2

By Ryan Dosier

Today, The Muppet Mindset welcomes back our very good friend Louis Henry Mitchell. Louis works as Associate Design Director of Special Projects for Sesame Street. This title, as we learned in part one, is really an umbrella for loads of jobs that Louis does around the Street. Read part one of our interview with Louis for more information! In part 2 we took the opportunity to ask Louis more specific questions about his stories and experiences at Sesame Street. Just reading Louis' incredible stories is a delight for any Sesame Street fan.

:   Louis, The Muppet Mindset is so honored to welcome you back. Your first interview was phenomenal and it's truly a pleasure to get the chance to interview you.

LOUIS:   First of all, thank you for having me back! I got a tremendous response from part one.

RYAN:   As did we! You mentioned in part 1 of the interview that you had a hand in designing Kami, the HIV-positive Muppet on the South African co-production of the show. What was this like? What did you think of the large amount of publicity—both good and bad—about her?

LOUIS:   Ed Christie, a Master Muppet designer and builder who formerly ran the Muppet Workshop in New York City, sent sketches to us at Sesame Workshop. I was designing the logo for Takelani Sesame, the South African co-production, and needed to have all the Muppets around it. Ed had sent me the ¾ view of Kami, then a hedgehog, and told me he was having trouble figuring out her front view. I asked him if I could take a crack at it because I needed her front view for the logo- he said yes. When I sent him the sketch he said, “That’s it! That will help to build her!” That really is the extent to which I helped design her.

That was a particularly difficult time. The whole concept was misunderstood by the American media and public. But they knew in South Africa that this is what they needed to do and Sesame Workshop respects the partnerships with all co-productions- they know their countries better than us and we are here to support their way of educating with our ability to engage children through the Sesame Street Muppets. Each “co-pro” pretty much has their own Muppets and they incorporate some of the classic Sesame Street Muppets in their cast. They also translate segments from the domestic productions shown here in America for their own use as they are appropriate.

I felt bad when this was so misunderstood by the public and the media- but when new and evolutionary things are introduced to the world, as Sesame Workshop is dedicated to doing, it will cause some serious stirring. We are reaching toward making a major difference in the world and it is still working 40 years later. I am proud of Sesame Workshop and SO very grateful to be part of it. The Kami project is one of the proudest moments I’ve had.

RYAN:   Can you describe to us the process of designing the balloons and floats for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade? It sounds like it would be a lot of fun to create massive balloons of such iconic characters.

LOUIS: When I was asked to re-design Big Bird only a few weeks into my fulltime job at the Workshop I was thrilled. I had already designed one balloon for Macy’s based on the 1996 hit toy I helped design called “Skydancers”. So I had an idea of how to proceed. They saw it on my resume and immediately gave me the opportunity.

Step one of the balloon is the concept that comes from Macy’s. They take a first pass at it and then I review it and make my adjustments to the concept- like my last balloon, Super Grover- they did a funny crooked helmet for him while in flight- but the helmet is only crooked after he crash lands. Sometimes it flops around on his head while he is talking but not in flight. So I do my own set of drawings from every significant angle so the Macy’s sculptors have an idea of what to do in clay (plastiline- it doesn’t harden). Once they finish the sculpture in clay they send me photographs of the full rotation in clay in the form of a maquette (small clay figure). I “blueline” that, meaning I take the photographs, print them out,  tape tracing paper on them and draw the corrections with a blue pencil- a standard in the graphic industry. After I see what adjustments they’ve made I then go to the Macy’s Studios in Hoboken, New Jersey, and actually sculpt on the maquette they made making minor or major adjustments as necessary. I have the guidance of their director, John Piper, so I don’t neglect the physics that go into making the balloon float. In order to make the shapes that we see on the outside they have a system of cables inside pulling the balloon into shape and the more cables needed to make a shape the more weight is in that area. It’s not so bad in back but a lot of cables in the head will make it heavier and harder to keep afloat.

The next step is seeing the fiberglass maquette! There are two—one with the segmentations drawn on it that help them make the enlarged shapes that are attached together to make the final balloon and then there’s the pure white fiberglass maquette that gets the paint treatment that is transferred to the final by hand. I painted the maquette for Super Grover because I had a special fur texture treatment in mind. And… just a little secret between you and me… I painted a little Superman curl on Super Grover’s forehead on the maquette- just for myself. When I saw the final balloon THEY PUT IN THE CURL! I was SO happy. They followed my painting exactly. That particular balloon got more air time than any other because the marching band that was supposed to be behind it was very late so they showed every single angle of that balloon that we worked on so hard! I feel bad for the band but was grateful for the coverage.

The Sesame Street 35th Anniversary Float was a particularly special event. I was approached to design it and we had a big meeting about it- one camp wanted to remember where we came from and the other camp wanted to focus on where we were headed. They were both correct and it was up to me to combine both needs into one design. It took 3 months to finally have a design everyone loved. But when I sent it to Macy’s they said they had never done what I was asking for. There was a chance that we would not have a float that year!! I was really nervous about that! It was such a high profile project!

The day they called me to go to Hoboken to see what they had done I braced myself. I didn’t know what to expect- had they found a way to do what was finally approved or did they do their best to come close?

I walked into the Macy’s Studio and was breath taken! They had done exactly what I asked for- an exploded perspective version of the Brownstone- not one right angle to be found. It was unpainted but SO beautiful! The team came up to me by ones and twos- they were telling me it was the most amazing float they had done! They told me they had to create some tools to make that float! Just so very rewarding.

RYAN:   Which DVD covers have you been on the design team of? It seems Sesame Street always knows how to churn out a great looking DVD; can we attribute this success to you?

LOUIS:   It’s not really a team but I am not alone in this. My good friend Mark Magner is an astounding artist in graphic design and photography! He took the final work to the level of the finished product you see in the stores. The only two we did not do were the last two releases- The 40th Anniversary and the recent Animal title. My first solo cover was “What Makes You Happy?” I was SO pleased to learn that it was a big seller! We have done SO many- we do the front cover and the 3 inserts on the back. My part is that I design the covers and do a red pencil roughs of the concepts. Then I show Mark my ideas and he gives me some of his and we agree on what we want to present. We show 3 concepts. Mark doesn’t draw so when he has an idea I sketch it out for him. Then I do a cleaned up version in blue to send out to all involved and get the final approval or I may have to take another stab at it if nothing gets completely approved. There may be specific needs that I didn’t know had to be addressed on the cover or back. After we get approval we set up a photo shoot with John Barrett, I mentioned him in part one. He is THE Muppet photographer hand picked by Jim Henson and has been doing it for around 30 years or so. He’s the best! My favorite part is that he brings his beautiful Australian Shepherd, Betsy, to every shoot! Just a beauty!! He used to bring his other dog, Sidney, also and Aussie, who is a legend. He passed away a couple of years ago and we still talk about him constantly! He would have approved of Betsy as the new studio dog!

RYAN:   What productions have you storyboarded for? Do you have a personal favorite?

LOUIS: The first one I did was for Abby Cadabby- Kevin Clash had a music video to do about her and asked me to do the storyboards. It worked out SO well for him that it became part of my job permanently! When we worked on “Abby In Wonderland” I had to do over 500 storyboard frames! We do outreach DVDs in support of military families called “Talk, Listen, Connect.” Those are my absolute favorites because they help families to help their children cope with the issues that come as a result of either or both parents going to serve. We also did one on economic insecurity. The most recent one, though, is the one I am most grateful to be a part of. It will be announced soon.

RYAN:   Tell us about the Adler Planetarium show. What did you help design here? How involved were you in production?

LOUIS:   It’s called “One World, One Sky; Big Bird’s Adventure”. I was the chief art director over the entire project. It was just so wonderful to be asked to take this on. I had to do extensive storyboards and art direct a virtual set of Sesame Street- very realistically created by the Adler Planetarium team. I also had to re-design the Chinese set because they wanted it to be more Chinese. The previous set looked more like it was in Amsterdam, which was accurate to the location at that time. I traveled back and forth to and from Chicago many times to review the work, the music, the animation… it was a great experience. I worked very closely, again, with Kevin Clash who requested I be art director. I had to do animation of the “Cow Who Jumped Over The Moon” as well as the “Rabbit In The Moon” for China. In designing the full Chinese set I had to also do architect sketch drawings of each building from the front, side and above for the digital builders to work from.

And when I saw my credit on the full huge dome… wow!

RYAN:   Can you describe your favorite piece of art that you’ve done as a gift for a Sesame Street employee? Just reading your descriptions is enough to make me crave one of your beautiful pieces of work for myself!

LOUIS:   Thank you, Ryan! Well… I would have to say it is still the very first one I have done. It was of our now Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Melvin Ming. A good friend at Sesame, Alex Brown, asked me to do a drawing of him to just say thank you for all he has done (and is still doing) in order that we can do the best work we are able to. It is a huge caricature of Mel with 6 arms, holding a phone to his ear, writing a note, counting money… he loved it! We presented it to him at what we call our All Staff meetings where we review our company every 6 months and anticipate our next 6 months. He was choked up about it and he gave a short speech in gratitude. It was not from me but from the whole company as Alex Brown intended.

I have to say something here. Mel Ming is a giant in my heart… and I know to many other people. I had been trying to start a creative meeting called The Tribe Sessions and I wanted to hold them at Sesame Workshop. Everyone told me they would never approve use of the building on a Saturday. I asked Mel and told him what it was for- to support up and coming artists and give established ones a chance to connect with the young ones- it was just part of the tradition of artists throughout the centuries; to connect and talk with others of our peculiar nature. He approved it on the spot!

On the morning of September 11th, 2001, I was writing him a “Thank You” note for approving the sessions when the first plane hit. I thought to myself what a horrible accident. As I kept writing the second plane hit- and then I thought this was no accident. Many people huddled into my office to watch and learn all we could. We cried and were just in shock! After we were released to go home I decided to write an email to Mel- switching my thanks for his approval to thanks for his consideration but I knew that we could not still do the sessions under these conditions.

I received an immediate reply from Mel telling me that I not dare stop the sessions and that we would probably need them more now than ever.

I was beyond impressed and even more grateful! So when Alex asked me to do that caricature… I was honored and MORE than eager. Mel had it framed and it is his most prominently displayed piece of art in his office.

RYAN:   Tell us about your first visit to the Sesame Street set. What was it like to see the stoop of 123? See the Muppets? See all the sights and hear all the sounds of the street that lies at the core of almost everyone’s childhood?

LOUIS:   Well… Before I tell you about that I must say that I would have felt TERRIBLE if I went there without my son, Michaelanthony, who was 9 years old at the time- the age I was when Sesame Street first went on the air! So I asked and they hesitantly approved. They didn’t really allow children on set that were not actors- at least that is what it seemed like to me at the time.

When we walked onto the set… there it was!!!! Oscar the Grouch’s Sloppy Jalopy!!! And Oscar was in it complaining about something!!! I didn’t care!! I WAS IN HEAVEN!!! It felt like a DREAM!! The Brownstone!!! Mr. Hooper’s Store!!! And I was there TO WORK??? We had to take pictures of some of the changes. This is when Sesame Street had gone “Around The Corner”. We had the playground, the Furry Arms Hotel… just a bunch of things they decided to expand the street with.

The first Muppeteer I met was Carroll Spinney and he was just as wonderful as you could imagine… even more! He put Oscar The Grouch on my son’s hand and my son started puppeteering him like he knew what he was doing!!! Carroll was SO impressed he took my son behind Oscar’s can and let him do a little performance. My son has given me SO many years of special moments to be proud of. That certainly was one of them!!! He asked me if he could ask Jon Stone, the original head writer and producer of Sesame Street, a question. What did he ask? “Why don’t you reverse the signals of your video monitors so the puppeteers don’t have to reverse their performance for the monitors? It would be more like a mirror.” Jon Stone was awestruck! “Where did you get this kid???” He was only 9 at that time.

I lived vicariously through my son at that time because I had not gotten the chance to touch a Muppet yet!

RYAN:   You mentioned in our first interview that, along with presenting Kevin Clash with a special piece of art you did for him, your first trip to the set provided an entirely different set of challenges. How so?

LOUIS:   Well… Kevin was nice enough to invite me to watch him perform Elmo for the first time. After an hour and a half of talking with him and hearing his amazing baritone voice I was not prepared to hear that little Elmo voice come out of him! When I saw it for the first time I was stunned. The problem was after I got over being stunned they were about to do a real take after the rehearsal. Right in the middle of Kevin doing the line for Elmo I couldn’t help myself but to giggle! That voice coming from that “football player”!

I didn’t realize that there was a microphone on back where I was for some reason. When I heard Jon Stone yell out, “WHO’S BACK THERE GIGGLING DURING THE TAPING??? DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THIS SHOW COSTS TO PRODUCE???”

I was mortified!!!! But I had to confess in all good conscience. I thought I would get kicked off the set and never be allowed back. Jon simply said, “Don’t let it happen again!” seventeen years later it has NEVER happened again!

RYAN:   I’d love to hear your favorite stories about working with Kevin. There must be tons and tons. These close, personal stories of the Muppeteers are like candy to us obsessed fans.

LOUIS:   During one of our storyboard sessions (which usually take place in his apartment) there was music playing- Louis Armstrong, my first childhood hero (before Jim Henson… I identified with his name being Louis!). I don’t remember the song because as I was listening… all of a sudden… I was hearing Hoots the Owl from Sesame Street harmonizing with Louis Armstrong! Kevin just broke out in song singing along as Hoots!!! It was just MAGIC!!! Kevin is an accomplished singer and often sings to music we are listening to as we work or eat. It made me realized where I was and whom I was in the presence of!!! The GEEK in me OOZED out… and Kevin in his generous and loving way humored me (and I know he enjoyed doing this) by letting me ask, “What was it like to be baby Sinclair?”

He answered as Baby Sinclair!

“What was it like to be Splinter in the TMNT movies?” Kevin went on with this beautiful soliloquy as Splinter. I was just mesmerized! All I could think was, “WOW!”

RYAN:   What about Frank Oz? You mentioned a story about him as well. You must have some great stories about him too.

LOUIS: A few years ago Kevin asked me to do a gift portrait of Frank to thank him for all his wonderful work on Sesame Street. When I presented it to him he was taken aback in a really beautiful way. No one had ever reacted to a portrait I did of them as he did. I asked how he liked it. He said he really liked it and, “I never got anything like this before!” Boy was I grateful to Kevin for asking me to do that! I would never just do something like that without being asked. I do not ever want to over-step my invitation to the set- whether working or just visiting as I was that day. After a session of him doing Cookie Monster in Mr. Hooper’s Store the stage director called for a 5 minute break. Frank didn’t even wait for the wrangler to take Cookie Monster from him- he placed Cookie on the counter in the store and ran out to look at the portrait again. It was a rare moment while he was alone. I took the opportunity to tell him about the Tribe Sessions and how great it would be to have him speak at one. He asked me to tell him more. By the time I was done and asked if he could make time in his busy schedule he said, “Louis I not only want to be there, I HAVE to be there!” He ripped a corner off his script and said, “Here is my email address- please contact me about setting this up and if you have any problem reaching me by email here is my home phone number.”

I couldn’t believe what was happening!

I set up a special Tribe Session just for him. And it was amazing. He told SO many incredible stories… but then one of the Tribe asked him, “Do you do your voices at parties?” Frank asked him, “Do you take out an easel and start painting at parties? This is my work so I leave that out of parties. I’ll do the voices for you guys but I don’t do them at parties.”

After a few more questions I reminded Frank that he said he would do some of the voices for us. It was ASTOUNDING! First he did Bert and explained how he hated Bert at the beginning, wanting to do Ernie. Jim Henson won out as boss so Frank was stuck with Bert. But he said he had to find a way to like this character so he wrote his own back story about Bert contemplating the stillness of lakes, etc., and fell in love with him. Then, Just for ME, he did Cookie Monster!! He also did Miss Piggy… but then…

… then… he did YODA!

It was as silent as if Frank was in that room alone!

Frank had asked me to get hold of a Grover Muppet for him but not to say a word… he had an idea. After Yoda, Frank started speaking about the art of puppetry and what he found worked and didn’t work on TV and why. Then he asked me for Grover! First he called for a volunteer and chose one of my ex-students, Marie, who is the BIGGEST Grover fan I know, and Grover called her up to speak. Frank did not know how much she loved Grover and she was just star struck! Frank riffed off of this and ended it with Grover saying, “You do not have much of a vocabulary, do you?” at which point Grover asked her to sit back down please.

Then Frank started turning Grover into other things- a dog, a boy… he was no longer Grover! Frank’s point? It’s not so much about the puppet- the beautiful work of art on the performer’s hand, but about the subtle performance all of which had to exist in no more than that hand!

It was amazing!

RYAN:   Last time you also mentioned how much fun it is to watch celebrities marvel at the Street of their childhood. Which celebrity sticks out in your mind as the most memorable?

LOUIS:There were so many… I’d have to say that second was Sarah Jessica Parker… she was just SO happy to be there. But I was MOST impressed with one individual!!! I was asked to art direct a special photo shoot on the set of Sesame Street for Harper’s Bazaar Magazine. All the big fashion designers were to be there! I saw Oscar De La Renta walk in and he looked like a KING! I was directing him next to Oscar The Grouch and it was great….

… but when he saw Elmo!! HE FLIPPED!!! He was all giggly and animated and just like a 6 year old boy!! Even then he still had grace and elegance but he was just THRILLED to meet THE Elmo!!! He looked around the set and was just in awe!!!

RYAN:   Can you describe what it’s like doing a photo-shoot with the Muppets? Do you personally move the poser puppets to make them appear the way you want, or do others pose them for you? How often are the actual puppets used for photo-shoots?

LOUIS:   It is my pleasure to be the one who poses the Photo Muppets myself.  It comes right from the same place where I draw from and play music from on the piano.  Bill Waterson, the creator of Calvin and Hobbes, said in his 10th Anniversary Book on the comic strip that what he grew to do was think of a situation and waited for Calvin to “tell” him how he wanted to get through it. This is very much how I work with posing the Sesame Street Muppets. I am given a list of things that the marketing department needs and I “wait”  for them to tell me what they want to do. I know them all so well that any scenario I am given will be inspired by their personalities. It helps so much that I still watch the show on a regular basis- even when I am on vacation! I just really love the show. One special thing that happens when I am doing a photo shoot is when Jane Henson visits the set!! I love her BIG hugs and just having her there… she will give me guidance on some shots if she sees me thinking about what to do. I WELCOME her input!! She’s JANE HENSON!!! It’s just wonderful!

There are occasions when I have to order performance Muppets for photo shoots- we don’t have a photo version of them all. Of course we have Elmo, Cookie Monster, both full and half body, Big Bird, Bert, Ernie, Abby Cadabby, Zoe… several. But if I need Count Von Count or Telly Monster or Baby Bear I have to order the ones they use on the show. They are specially armatured and fully poseable. One time I had to order an additional Elmo for the Country Songs DVD. His cousin, Elmer, was visiting and was wearing a full cowboy outfit. It came out great.

I know this will be long but I have to share it. I had a moment while doing my most recent generic photo shoot that was the most profound moment I had at Sesame Workshop. I had neglected one of the poses I was supposed to do of Ernie by himself. My wonderful stylist and friend Lara MacLean set him up on the table top and I went in to pose him. The Photo Muppets of all the major Sesame Street Muppets live at the building Jim Henson purchased for photos and small video shoots- I’m even working with the photographer Mr. Henson hand picked to be THE Muppet photographer, John E. Barrett. He is the master! The photo Muppets are very much like the replicas of Kermit and Animal and Gonzo you can now buy- except they are not replicas. These are the REAL Muppets made of all the actual materials used on the performance Muppets and built the same way for the most part. Master armaturist and stylist, (among other tremendous talents) Danielle Obinger, builds armature wire infrastructures in them so I can pose them in any way I can imagine! She is just astounding! ANYTHING I can imagine doing with them I just twist and turn and bend them and like magic it just HAPPENS!!!

But back to my moment- Lara set Ernie up on the table top, I was adjusting his legs and sneakers to make them look natural. I reached up and took his head, which was pointing downward, and I lifted it up. As soon as I did that our eyes met- he was looking RIGHT into my eyes and EVERYTHING STOPPED!! John Barrett was working on digital retouching, Lara was prepping another Muppet for later in the shoot, John’s great assistant Jeffrey Price was doing one of the very many tasks he does to keep things running smoothly- at the table it was just Ernie and me! There were photography umbrellas hiding us from view. I was instantly transported back to when I was 9 years old- when I first heard “Rubber Duckie” and realized just what Jim Henson was doing back there with His Muppets. It hit me like nothing else since I have been at Sesame Workshop! And for 15 minutes time stood still for me and my eyes welled up! I started thinking, “I’m really here! This is REALLY Ernie!!! I REALLY work at Sesame Street!!!! I REALLY am part of the Sesame Street legacy!!!!” That little boy from Brooklyn, New York, who practically WORSHIPED The Muppets is now directing photo shoots with the REAL Muppets!! Eating dinner and working closely with Kevin Clash and the other Muppeteers!!!” I felt tremendous emotion but didn’t realize how deep this hit me until a large tear drop ran down my cheek!

I was really here!

This is 17 years after I had started working on the show. You know something? It means more now than when I first started!! I enjoy it more now than the magical moment when I actually got the job as a freelancer and then was requested by Sesame Workshop to come on full time! 17 years later and it means more than EVER!! Even now as I write this I am a little choked up. With all my heart I recommend that people hold on to their dreams.

RYAN:   That is honestly one of the most moving and profound stories I have ever heard. I am just so humbled by that. But, back to being semi-professional... Who are the major influences in your life? Who has had the biggest impact on you?

LOUIS: On my office wall at Sesame I have my “Mentors”; the main people who have influenced me the most and who I study deeply to get their “advice” on what I may be doing- in work and in life- which I don’t really separate. In order they are Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Norman Rockwell, Jim Henson, Leonard Bernstein and Leonardo DaVinci. There are SO many others like Steve Irwin, Keith Jarrett… but the greatest of all is Jesus Christ.

RYAN:   Where do you draw your inspiration from?

LOUIS:   As a Christian I draw my most important inspiration from the Bible. I read SO many books and watch SO many DVD behind-the-scenes footage, go to museums, movies, theater—through it all I find SO many Bible stories inspiring them all. I, myself, am developing several stories based upon scripture- one really fun one is based upon the story of King David. You just can’t beat the Bible in my opinion- for work AND life and everything else!

RYAN:   What advice do you have for anyone who has dreams of working with Sesame Street or the Muppets?

LOUIS: When I am asked to be on panels or to do an appearance to lecture or answer questions I am asked that very question regularly. The answer shocks most people. I have absolutely no advice! The reason? I have to speak with the person and find out what it is they want to offer specifically- what skills they have and need to build up their creativity and execution. Advice is a very, very personal thing!! When someone is giving advice without having earned that position through developing a relationship with them it isn’t very valid in my opinion. Advice has to be in context with the individual’s dreams and desires and talent and skill set.

However, I will say that one must trust and follow their heart and not give up or get too discouraged. Your heart will reveal to you the things that you were made to do on earth- the reason you were created! There will be MANY discouragers- ignore them- but do not hold a grudge. They simply just don’t understand. If everyone were paying attention to the greatness they were created for they wouldn’t have time to discourage anyone else- they would be busy teaming up with their friends or spouses or siblings or neighbors… it would be the flow of creativity doing what it is meant to do; bring us together to figure things out for ourselves and each other. This is how I see it.

So follow your heart and don’t allow discouragement to seep in. Sometimes the things your heart is drawing you to isn’t really the big dream but part of the path TOWARD it. There are things you will need to learn along the way and as an artist there is nothing that will not teach you how to be more creative if you look at it with your art spirit! I never knew that starting in comics would lead to advertising which lead to toy and character design which led to MTV which led to Sesame Street… which led to my BIG dream!! And, only God knows the next thing that my new dream will bring me to. I just make myself available and keep on believing!! My head has been confused and mistaken at times but my heart has never steered me wrong.

As I said in part one of this- I will be announcing the BIG dream shortly and I will come back to the Muppet Mindset as part of the launch!

RYAN:   And, finally, can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?

LOUIS: Sure… follow your child-heart- the one you had when you believed all things are possible! You will always end up there!

A huge thanks to the fantastic Louis Henry Mitchell! This has been my favorite interview on The Muppet Mindset so far! His stories are incredible and enough to fill countless interviews! We hope to welcome him back to The Muppet Mindset again soon!

Sesame Street Saturdays: "Dinner: Impossible" Appearance Review

This past Wednesday, Sesame Street's Cookie Monster, Elmo, and Maria appeared on a special Sesame themed episode of the Food Network show "Dinner: Impossible." Our good friend Ed Castle comes to us with his review of the special!

Chef Irvine's B Dinner

Ed Castle (The Count at Muppet Central Forum)
- If you've been keeping up with recent Muppet developments, then you know that this year marks the 40th birthday of the happiest street in the world. Yes, this year Sesame Street turns 40! Well, the folks at Sesame have been throwing party after party leading up to the season premiere.  First, there was the annual Sesame Workshop gala dinner.  After that, we were treated to a special episode of Food Network's popular Challenge series featuring four unique Sesame character inspired cakes.  And the latest one was a similar special episode of the channel's Dinner: Impossible program.

In Dinner: Impossible, Chef Robert Irvine is given a culinary challenge, most often he has to prepare a certain minimum number of dishes in a certain time limit often styled into various themes.  This episode was no different as Robert and his team were whisked off to Sesame Place to prepare dinner for 250 of the park's visiting guests, including children and their families.  María (Sonia Manzano), Cookie Monster—which Chef Robert kept calling "The" Cookie Monster—and Elmo, along with a Muppet letter B told him what this mission would be...  The tag-line was that this mission would be brought to us by the letter B.  Well, in true Sesame fashion, I'd add "and by the number 3."

First of all, the mission was that Robert could only use primarily ingredients and dishes whose names started with the letter of the day, B.  After brainstorming an initial menu, the cooks grabbed María and went shopping.  It should be noted that the monsters are hysterical when given a chance to ad lib.
B: Be quick!
Elmo: Be careful!
Cookie: B-cause me hungry!

Secondly, Chef Robert discovered the next part of his challenge; having to cook all the dishes for his dinner in two kitchens: Sesame Place’s indoor kitchen area, complete with kitchen sink and alarming ovens; and an outside kitchen whose amenities were sorely lacking for Chef Robert’s taste.  Frankly, I kind of feel that Grover should've been part of this special.  After all, who else on Sesame Street has more experience being a waiter, going near and far from table to kitchen hollering for Charlie to fill his orders?

Third, about halfway through the hour-long program, Elmo and Cookie threw the cooking team a curveball. Since they love their shapes at Sesame Street, even their foods must conform to these guidelines; which is why they demanded Chef Robert make one of three dishes in the shape of a circle, a square, and a triangle.  This was probably to get revenge after both Elmo and Cookie had to leave the kitchen.
Cookie: Me banished from kitchen, what disgrace.

Chef Robert, in a fit of Kermit exasperation asked them why they were doing this.  The answer...
Cookie: Easy not good television.
Irvine then pointed a loaded cucumber at the duo before Cookie shielded Elmo.
Cookie: Me take bullet for you.
Yes, we must save the little red fur-ball from this mad British Chef!  In the end, Robert decided to make triangle burritos, square burgers, and round bagel pizzas.

As is often the case in this show, Robert went through his kitchen calls where he found out missteps after the shopping trip, such as leaving a bag of brown rice. He soon began barking at everyone when he finds out how much time he has left continually dwindling down—a problem all of us procrastinators share. He put his hosts to work by having María unwrap, skewer, and fry pieces of bologna. He grew more and more frantic every time he realized he hadn’t started a dish, such as the B-Bash Beverage. Though the banana and berry smoothie was a good idea, us Sesame fans would have suggested birdseed milkshakes instead.

In the end, Chef Robert and his hardworking staff got everything finished and plated on time. The guests all seemed pleased with the dishes they got to sample.  Elmo himself was surprisingly pleased after tasting the specially-made Brussels sprouts made with bacon and onions, as I equally suspect Cookie Monster was with the big butterscotch cookies. The monsters had one last surprise for Chef Robert, reminiscent of the pranks Oscar used to play on Skinny (María) herself.  Fans of Dinner: Impossible will consider a throwback to when he and guest chef, Guy Ferreri, made dinner for a summer camp in a previous episode.  This was a great show, demonstrating that even the gang at Sesame Street can host fun parties to celebrate what's shaping up to be a landmark 40th anniversary.

Final menu:
Blueberry Bisque

Buffalo Mozzarella & Bell Pepper Salad

Hors D'œuvres:
Bruschetta (tomato basil, portabella mushrooms, calamatta olives)

Side Dishes:
Bacon Brussels Sprouts
Baked Beans

Bagel Pizzas (round)
Balsamic Bass
Barley Pilaf
Boneless Buffalo Wings
Bowtie Béchamel Bolognese
Bratwurst burgers (square burgers; circular buns)
Brie Blackened Chicken Breasts
Buckwheat Bologna
Burritos (triangle)
Butter-poach Brisket

B-Bash Beverage (banana berry smoothie)

Big Butterscotch cookies (round)
Birthday Cake with "Happy Birthday" written in chocolate
Bread Pudding Brûlee (square)
Butter Orange Sauce

Besides the Muppets already mentioned, split-second shots of the Sesame Place walk-around characters of The Count, Ernie, and Grover were shown taking part in the parade.

Special thanks to fellow MC member D.W. McKim for extra information about the episode.

Also, I just wanted to say that if you got the pdf version of Shadow of the Reapers more than two months ago, please please please go back and read the last five or so chapters on the blog (or just ask for a new pdf). A lot of things have changed since the pdf file, and a lot of them really needed to.
Also, apparently, some things get mixed up in the conversion of a word document to pdf, so if there is a distinct lack of periods, spaces, commas, etc in the pdf version, that’s why I know how to use punctuation I promise

Ciao for now!

Review: Handwriting Without Tears Cursive Success Edition

The great thing about homeschooling is that you have the freedom to change and adjust any part of your curriculum at any moment. For my older student who has been working on cursive for sometime…. IT WAS NOT HAPPENING! My Oldest student catches on to new lessons quickly is a very adaptable kid but it easily distracted. I mean the type who will see a bird fly past the window and then you have lost him! 🙂 I know his handwriting ability. He is very artistic and has good overall penmanship – WHEN HE TRIES! However, if he is not in the mood for handwriting lord help you! Our struggle with cursive has been especially frustrating as one of the perks of homeschool is that my child will get to spend time on cursive. Our previous public district was no longer going to teach or require students to write in cursive (or even learn it for that matter). I wanted my student to be able to read original historical documents, old letters, and original family history as it was written. I was worried that we were not going to be successful at this task in this year of schooling and was close to shelving this idea for another school year or two…luckily we didn’t!Read more…

We have previously been using a different work book throughout last summer and fall. I felt like he was still struggling to read others cursive when most of it should have been easily recognizable. In February we made a change to Handwriting Without Tears. We have had an immediate improvement. I think this book is completely a winner. Normally I wouldn’t want to write a review on a product that We haven’t used for a long amount of time but we also had success with another book of handwriting without tears during the kindergarten year of schooling. So even though this is our first year using the cursive edition, it will be our second year of using this program overall.

The cursive success edition is a better fit for students as it has smaller spaced lines than many cursive handwriting books. For an older student who is ready to complete cursive it seems more natural and less daunting to fill a smaller lined space in the work book. With out previous workbook my student was really struggling to form the letters correctly as the space between top and bottom lines to hit was just to large. Handwriting without tears decreases the space and this is a better fit for an older student. The overall amount of space to fill with letter formation is less as well. I noticed that my student felt an accomplishment at filling the requirements on the page instead of feeling that a failure for not filling an entire huge page of blank lines. The book is not set up to break their hand! It is an easy exercise that is definitely more enjoyable than we have experienced with other cursive workbooks.

This book gets students feeling motivated by immediately giving them entire words. They can start off the exercise by practicing the letter and tracing the formation. Then on the same page there are a few easy to write words. Previously we were doing many pages of a single letter and completing the entire alphabet before moving on to connecting some letters and writing entire words. This daunting process left my older student feeling like his lessons were “babyish” now he is able to show off his quickly – and neatly completed page.

As you move into the book farther there are short games to play as you write. There are also some history facts and even some pages that have your copy work relating to capital cities, famous quotes, and even some grammar thrown in. By the end of the book you child will be able to translate from cursive to print and read cursive with confidence. I am really happy that finally we have found a solution to our cursive dilemma!

If you have a student that is ready for cursive or just sick of their current handwriting program give it a try. We bought our copy off of Amazon for a good deal and the shipping to our overseas location was quick. You can also find the book at or click the Amazon link here. There is also a version with a teacher’s guide. I do not think that is totally necessary. Just save yourself some money and follow this prompt in the book. It will explain anything your child needs to do. Simple instructions throughout the text so no worries for the homeschool newbie! 😉

If you have experience with this book leave a comment on how it worked out for you below. Maybe it will help out others!

text: AT LOWELL, MASS., AUGUST 26, 19o2. When I got the train this morning one of the first to greet me was exGovernor Allen, of Porto Rico, your fellow townsman. Now, you don't hear much about our government of Porto Rico, because there is nothing sensational in a complete success. Under Governor Allen and since under his successor Porto Rico has been governed so well that it is not entitled to any space in the newspapers. Now, gentlemen, we have done our full duty by Porto Rico. We have done our duty by Cuba. But I want to ask the people to act further than under a sense of bare duty, to act in a spirit of generosity such as befits a great republic in dealing with a new and weaker republic which, itself, has started on the career of self-government. And I want, furthermore, that our people should be awake to their own interest in the seas and lands south of our country. We drove out those who had been oppressing Cuba and we cleaned house for them. Not an easy task, for many of those cities had never before been cleaned in their entire history. We introduced a school system. We made justice in fact as well as in name. We stamped out the plague of yellow fever, a plague which was a menace not merely to Cuba, but to our own Southern States, and then we left them independent. But from the very necessities of the case we are bound to have intimate relations with them. Cuba has got to be in a sense a part of our international political system, and I ask most earnestly that in return we make her part of our economic system by establishing reciprocal trade relations with her. And I ask in her interest and in ours. There is a great market in Cuba, and I wish to see it controlled in the interest of our own people. We did well in Cuba. We did well in Porto Rico. That was because we could count on the services of men like Governor Allen, services which should be both interested and intelligent. Mind you, both. You have got to have morality first, but if morality has not got common sense with it, the result will be unhappy. And now, in dealing with Cuba, in dealing with the isthmus across which we are to build the great inter-ocean canal, we must remember that we can do good for ourselves permanently only if we do good to those with whom we are brought in contact. I ask you, then, to see to it that we give Cuba reciprocity with this country, primarily in Cuba's interests but also for our own great benefit.

Guidance has a tendency to say one thing additional such as this: "Following mapping, area checking probes in a means that usually takes into account the outcomes of your respective mapping, such as

The initial step is to check the proper positioning in the chamber after which you can Verify When the chamber and all factors are correctly set up, and likewise the existence of documentation. Documentation typically features consumer’s guide, certificates and SOPs. Utilities may be verified at this period: electrical feeding, drinking water (tension, pumps, filters and connections) and exhaust.

When your item is particularly highly-priced, or it is especially delicate to smaller temperature improvements, that shifts the chance equation and you might take into consideration yet another probe, or monitoring product temperature as opposed to air temperature, as a means to acquire further self confidence as part of your surroundings.

Our environmental examination chambers are programmed to control temperature and relative humidity conditions.

Many people compromise by picking a smart monitoring location to the wall with the chamber, but calculate offsets to virtually observe the new and cold place. This seems like a audio solution on the surface, but this method provides troubles.

The minimum analyze time now's 24 click site hrs. Once again at the conclusion of the analyze we perform doorway opening trials and compute the normal recovery time.

These types of circumstances might be prevented at various levels of a course of action. For instance, aggregation or particle disintegration can transpire in absence unsuitable upstream or downstream parameters, but exceptional ailments for top generate can compromise the situations required to protect particle integrity.

Just one region of action will be the definition of your user dialogues. They're the main interfaces with which the users will connect with the process. Other actions are worried about examining the two the consequences of occasions in updating the program and the need to make inquiries in regards to the data over the system.

Specificity. Specificity usually supplies the most important problem in early-stage methods due to the fact Each individual element to generally be measured should be calculated as just one chemical entity.

Formally confirming that your services and products meet all reliable exterior and internal criteria.

In lots of circumstances, the particular specific component dimensions take place close to the middle in the tolerance selection with hardly any components with actual Proportions close to the tolerance limits. This, of course, assumes the parts are primarily centered and throughout the tolerance assortment.

Bioprocessing commences upstream, most frequently with culturing of animal or microbial cells in a range of vessel forms (such as luggage or stirred tanks) using various managed feeding, aerating, and system approaches.

Investigation for this meeting disclosed that field analytical groups are going through amplified tension to provide essential analytical research used in candidate assortment, system development, medical development and regulatory submissions speedier than ever before – and at decrease expenditures. Accelerating Analytical Development offers a best techniques Discussion board where marketplace scientists and professionals can Trade Thoughts on techniques, new systems and the integration of analytical methods in guidance of such goals.

Monte Carlo methods (or Monte Carlo experiments) certainly are a broad class of computational algorithms that rely on repeated random sampling to get numerical effects. Their essential thought is utilizing randomness to unravel challenges that might be deterministic in principle.

The end users and analyst together pick out only one company selection. This may be among the kinds currently outlined or could be a synthesis of various aspects of the prevailing selections. The output of the phase is the single selected organization alternative together with every one of the outputs on the feasibility stage.

When evaluating the method-validation technique outlined for early development vs . the method-validation reports done to assist NDA filings and Regulate of this content commercial solutions, parameters involving inter-laboratory scientific tests (i.e., intermediate precision, reproducibility, and robustness) are not Source commonly carried out for the duration of early-section development. Inter-laboratory reports can get replaced by appropriate method-transfer assessments and verified by program suitability necessities that be sure that the method performs as supposed throughout laboratories. Because of adjustments in artificial routes and formulations, the impurities and degradation products and solutions shaped may well change for the duration of development.

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking on the beach with God.
At the sky, scenes from his whole life were passing and for every scene there were two pairs of footprints in the sand. One belonged to him and the other to God.

When the last scene of his life flashed in front of him, he looked back to the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times on the road of his life there was only one pair of footprints and those times were when he had the saddest moments in his life.
This really bothered him and he asked God :

''God, when I decided to follow you, you said you would walk with me always but I noticed that at the most difficult moments of my life, there is only one pair footprints...?
I do not understand! Why when i needed you the most, you left me alone??

And God replied, "My beloved child, I would never leave you alone!
In those painful moments of your life, you see only one pair of footprints because i was hugging you and holding you in my arms.''
