House Broken” (FOX TV Show) MatronicTV Presents: Random Reviews Episode #1: “House Broken” (FOX TV Show) - Intro: Hey everyone. So for several years I have worked as an online commissioner and illustrator, now trying to find a stable job in graphic design. The job search has not gone nearly as well as I hoped, and so I am seriously considering creating video content instead while I continue to try for more “traditional” work. I already have a general concept for my videos, have two show concepts and have already recorded audio. So I thought I would practice my script writing skills by offering a quick review of the new FOX animated show House Broken. I’ve always loved animation (what normal person doesn’t?), but I admit I have grown kinda’ picky when new shows are announced, especially when they all tend to look the same and have that awful, lazy Family Guy look and style. It seems like every animated comedy show that isn’t foreign or on streaming keeps trying to chase after Family Guy with this art style that I honestly just hate. (I’m not asking for or expecting Studio Ghibli levels of animation, but seriously can we just try and be more unique?) However, what attracted me to this show is not only that the animals are the stars and the humans are the backdrops, but also the show features a pretty nice variety of pets (though I still would have liked to see at least one reptile). I also like how the animals all view their humans and the human world. At the time of writing this, I have seen the first and second episodes, “Who's a Good Girl?” and “Who Did This?” Prior to writing this, I have not looked at any other reviews of this since I don’t want my opinions to be affected. First Contact: Gonna be honest, I didn’t really give the previews a decent watch because they honestly looked like crap. The only reason I stuck around to seeing the first episode is because it came on after Hell’s Kitchen, which I have seen every season of and thoroughly enjoy. However, House Broken didn’t leave me with too good a taste. The title itself borders on unfunny crass. (The original title for this show was Therapy Dog, which I think is funnier.) Premise: So it turns out what I thought would be the weakest part of the show might actually be the strongest. The show takes place in a rather nice looking but still normal house where the main character named Honey runs a support group for animals. Now I think that is actually pretty creative, and it makes sense since most of these pets come from broken or dysfunctional backgrounds, such as this shabby gray cat coming from a crazy cat lady’s house and this corgi being abandoned at a notorious music festival. This for me is easily the best part of the show and brings with it the best chances for good jokes. The show’s story also appears to be going for a continuing plot where Honey is having a hard time getting over the loss of a good friend and comes across this suave wild coyote in town whom she starts to develop feelings for. This is an interesting enough premise for this show and I am somewhat interested in where it goes. Characters: I gotta say the characters are a very mixed bag. I’ll start with the mains and go down to secondary: Honey: She’s a white poodle and the main character who runs the pet support group, sans a French accent. I really like Honey! I think she is a great main character, she’s likeable, relatable and tries her best to be informative and helpful to those around her despite her own hang ups (like always trying to live up to her owner’s expectations). I enjoy her interactions with the cool coyote guy and they feel mostly natural for someone who really wants to impress another person in a romantic way. I also like how she (the girl) is trying to woo the guy; this is a much- needed breath of fresh air from that tired cliché of the guy having to impress the girl. Chief: After watching just the first episode I seriously grew to hate Chief. He is like a dog version of Peter Griffin: stupid, obnoxiously loud, unfunny, and actively ruins what are actually some very nice scenes involving Honey and the coyote. Every joke involving him in Episode One just made me more and more irritated, and I’m not an easily irritated person (I sat all the way through Transformers 1 and 3 without making a sound). And it wouldn’t be such a bad thing except they insist on having this character live in the same house as Honey, basically making him a secondary main character, so now we as the audience are forced to constantly deal with this bumbling brachycephalic dumbass in our faces all the time. But then, something happened: I saw the second episode. It feels like after the first episode the writers had some misgivings on how they portrayed Honey’s constant companion and made the wise decision to actually have him do something very nice and charitable in this next episode. I won’t spoil what it is in case you haven’t seen it yet, but I gotta say it is rare that my mind can be changed so quickly on a character, going from loathing to kind just nodding my head and saying “Ok, that was really cool, you get a pass from me for now, Peter Griffin Dog.” So for now, I will just say that Chief is hit and miss, mostly a hit when it comes to being a nice guy and mostly a miss when it comes to jokes and everything else including his design. Elsa: Easily the worst character after Chief. She’s basically the SJW/Tumblrina of the dogs and nothing she says is ever funny, only obnoxious, just like Chief. But unlike Chief who’s only saving grace is his generous nature and childlike mentality, Elsa has absolutely nothing going for her, she contributes nothing to the support group and only serves as a possible antagonist in the series at best. In fact, I wonder if that’s what the writers are planning. Even if it is, I still never see myself ever tolerating this insufferable twat. Max: I like this guy! He’s the one character who tells it like it is and isn’t afraid to call the other animals out on their nonsense. He’s also one of the few characters who’s consistently funny throughout the show. I like that he’s based on an actual pig that actor George Clooney owned, except that pig was a Vietnamese Pot-Belly whereas this one is a Berkshire. Not sure why they changed breeds. Diablo: Not a fan of this one. He has an interesting backstory (owners are splitting up and he’s passed back and forth in split custody), but he’s not that funny, he has an obnoxious shtick of wanting to hump random objects, and his voice and mannerisms are annoying and only make me want to punt him across the room. Shel: This tortoise is such a lame one-joke character in this show. I guess the idea of him falling in love with inanimate objects is different and could be funny, but how long can this work and how many jokes can you really get out of this? It also relies on a rather old cliché of tortoises all being old; I actually think it would be funny if he was actually a teenager despite his age: it would make his constant amorous behavior make more sense and it would be a nice subversion to the old “tortoises are all old” shtick. Tabitha: This character has a much better concept than someone like Shel: she is a former pure-breed Show Cat trying to adjust to the life of a normal pet. I don’t remember too many good jokes from her but I am willing to give her more time to develop. There’s a lot of potential jokes and commentary she can make regarding Show Animals. Lyle (aka The Gray One): The first thing out of this character’s mouth was an unfunny sex joke, which quickly turned me off of him. However I do like his design and personality, and the second episode had a really nice and funny subplot involving him and the other cat Chico growing close as friends. Chico: I do indeed like this character and find him to be very cute and likeable, but that might be partially because I grew up with a chubby tabby cat like Chico. Chico’s background is also kind of funny seeing as he is co-dependent on his owner who must constantly leave to go to work for long hours. The second episode of this series had a really nice and funny subplot involving him and Lyle growing close as friends. The little umbrella-wielding slow loris-looking critter: Interestingly, I have not been able to find much information on who the little umbrella-wielding slow loris-looking critter is, but that’s likely because everyone forgot about it about as quickly as I did. All I could gather is it doesn’t talk and seems to have some kind of rivalry with Nibbles over the role of “the small fluffy pet”.

House Wren (Troglodytesaedon) nest-destroying behavior was studied by experi- mentally offering 38 wrens nestswith eggs(or nestlings)throughout the nesting season.Individuals of both sexespecked all six types of eggspresented, regardless of the nest type and location. House Wrens also attacked conspecificyoung. Older nestlings(nine days old) were less vulnerable than three-day-old young. Our resultssuggest that nest-destroyingbehavior is inherent in all adult House Wrens but is inhibited in mated males and breeding females. It is suggestedthat nest destruction may have evolved as an interference mechanism reducing intra- and interspecific competition.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

  • Elevating Your House
    CHAPTER 5 Elevating Your House Introduction One of the most common retrofitting methods is elevating a house to a required or desired Flood Protection Elevation (FPE). When a house is properly elevated, the living area will be above all but the most severe floods (such as the 500-year flood). Several elevation techniques are available. In general, they involve (1) lifting the house and building a new, or extending the existing, foundation below it or (2) leaving the house in place and either building an elevated floor within the house or adding a new upper story. During the elevation process, most frame, masonry veneer, and masonry houses are separated from their foundations, raised on hydraulic jacks, and held by temporary supports while a new or extended foundation is constructed below. The living area is raised and only the foundation remains exposed to flooding. This technique works well for houses originally built on basement, crawlspace, and open foundations. When houses are lifted with this technique, the new or extended foundation can consist of either continuous walls or separate piers, posts, columns, or pilings. Masonry houses are more difficult to lift, primarily because of their design, construction, and weight, but lifting these homes is possible. In fact, numerous contractors throughout the United States regularly perform this work. A variation of this technique is used for frame, masonry veneer, and masonry houses on slab-on-grade foundations. In these houses, the slab forms both the floor of the house and either all or a major part of the foundation. Elevating these houses is easier if the house is left attached to the slab and both are lifted together.
