A similar anxiety unsettles Mr. Van Sant's paintings, although their unthreatening pastel palette and miasmic drifts of gentle brush strokes leave you wondering what, here, really, is not to like?

The experience of life that the show exemplifies — a miasmic forever-present where not a whole lot happens and the pressures of achievement appear mostly absent — parallels a utopian, even resistant, impulse in me.

The visual command, in the framing and the pacing of his tales, rarely slackens or stalls, yet the air of miasmic dread that rises from them is enough to make you duck out of the cinema to breathe.

The image, on a slip of paper barely 5 by 6.5 inches, is virtually formless — brushy washes of gray pigment impersonating four diagonal columns of smoke, rising from the bottom edge as they broaden and flatten into a miasmic haze.

What that means is that when it comes to integrating, securing, and trusting technology in our elections, there is a huge miasmic cloud of "tech stuff" to worry about, and it's all too easy to just assume somebody else is handling it.

Intimations of mortality had always coursed through Warhol's art and the 2205s brought new ones in eerie pictures of skulls, and, by implication, in "Shadows," a 239-plus panel abstract tour de force in which darkness has no source and no end: It's just there, foreboding, miasmic, waiting.

She (and we) can identify the malignant, miasmic forces at work — the ways in which, in a society under stress, fear becomes contagious and collective when projected outward onto the powerless "other" — even as she is drawn into a horrifying complicity with the spreading violence over which her brother presides.

Chefs like Ferran Adrià and René Redzepi have influenced thousands of acolytes (and copycats), but Bottura's handwork is of a more private and idiosyncratic strain: He cooks food that's about Italy and family and history and memory and art, yes, but ultimately his eclectic platings and flavor combinations reflect the miasmic workings of his own mind.

The song builds the "miasmic" soundscapes over wall-of-sound proportions. The soundscapes are then followed by a chorus, which is described to be "rumbling in like a panzer division." The song then continues with pounding dance rhythms and muted wah-wah guitars, accompanied by the backing singers.

" In his book Alternative Rock, Dave Thompson described the album's sound as "dry ice-piercingly intense guitar drones and hefty nods to miasmic hardcore soup, oozing a contrary trance-spun drone. Noise becomes beauty as feedback is layered over vocals over feedback ad infinitum." Anthony Carew of About.com described its style as "atonal, desconstructed, free-noise guitar playing" and noted that it had an "ethereal, spectral quality that radically reconfigured the predominant paradigms of rock'n'roll.

Film critic Roger Ebert described him as "a cross between a toad and the Cheshire Cat." Curiously, the Russian word for "toad" sounds very close to "Jabba". Science fiction writer Jeanne Cavelos wrote that Jabba deserved the "award for most disgusting alien". Science fiction authors Tom and Martha Veitch write that Jabba's body is a "miasmic mass", and that "The Hutt's lardaceous body seemed to periodically release a greasy discharge, sending fresh waves of rotten stench" into the air.

There was a major outbreak of cholera in London in 1849 which killed around 15,000 people. Early industrialisation had made London the most populous city in the world at the time, and the River Thames was heavily polluted with untreated sewage. Farr subscribed to the conventional theory that cholera was carried by polluted air rather than water – the miasmic theory. In addition, through his analysis of several variables and their association with death from cholera, Farr held the belief that elevation was the major contributor to the occurrence of the disease.

Pine Forge Press, 2004. (Limited Preview Available on Google Books) Journalist Christopher Hitchens said it was "reassuring" to see signs of progress like MaDonal "in an atmosphere that only a few years ago was heavy with miasmic decay and the reek of poison gas." Qassab is just one of many who have requested permission to open up a McDonald's in Iraq.Hawkes, Steve: “McDonald's swamped by offers to open in Iraq,” Evening Standard (London), Aug 14, 2003 Should this happen, there has been speculation by some about whether McDonald's will eventually take legal action against MaDonal.

Jon Dolan from Blender found some of the music "ludicrous" and other parts "brilliant", writing that "these aren't songs, they're suites, energetic and skittering and unpredictable hard rock hydras cut with miasmic industrial grind, stadium rattling metal solos, electronic drift and hip-hop churn." Writing for MSN Music, Robert Christgau said Rose succeeds on "his own totally irrelevant terms" and added, "Since he's no longer capable of leading young white males astray, this effort isn't just pleasurable artistically. It's touching on a human level." CTV News compared the production to the Wall of Sound style of Phil Spector.

Lady Musgrave was an enthusiastic Patroness, attending monthly Hospital Committee meetings and "doing much by her loving example to interest others". The idea of a sanatorium was proposed in 1883 and she took up the scheme with energy, personally securing the land at Shorncliffe which was given in trust by the government. The choice of the Shorncliffe site for the sanatorium was in keeping with prevailing ideas about health. The widespread acceptance of the miasmic theory of disease meant that fresh air and well ventilated, well lit buildings were considered essential for recuperation and recovery from illness.

According to Laurie, she brings out her views on the political uncertainty in the country, which was a contrast to her own cultural upbringing, and then her own personal association followed by conversion to Buddhism and its practices. Kirkus Reviews found the book alluring and Zeppa's ardor for Bhutan and its people very miasmic and provides insight of her involvement with the exciting Bhutanese culture. In the Publishers Weekly review, it was written— > Zeppa's telling of her clumsy attempts to adapt rings with sincerity and > inspires sincerity.... {Her} lucid descriptions of the craggy terrain and > hones respect for the daily struggles of the natives bring the tiny land to > life in a way that is reverent but real. A lively tale.

This trio appeared in Europe in 2008 as opening act for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. In 2007 Graney and Moore joined with guitarist, Perera, pianist Mark Fitzgibbon and bass player Stu Thomas to form The Lurid Yellow Mist featuring Dave Graney and Clare Moore (or as Dave Graney and the Lurid Yellow Mist). The name of the band, according to Moore, was based on the strange miasmic cloud that the man in the 1957 science fiction film, The Incredible Shrinking Man drove his speedboat through just before he started his transformation. As a collective they worked on a batch of new songs at the Yarraville Mouth Organ Band (YMOB) hall, before entering Sing Sing Studios in September where they laid down eight tracks in a day, virtually recording live.

He saw action firstly in South America, where he participated in the siege and capture of the fortified city of Montevideo and the follow-up assault on Buenos Aires, which degenerated into a savage sequence of street- fight battles between the British redcoats and the ultimately victorious Spanish defenders of the city. In 1809, Captain Gibbes was called in from staff officer duties in Southern England and given orders to take part in a massive amphibious operation that was about to be mounted across the English Chanel, from Kent, with the aim of directing a smashing blow against Napoleon's forces stationed in the Low Countries of Europe. This operation, known as the Walcheren campaign, turned into a military disaster for the British, however, when their military machine got bogged down in the marshy, muddy, miasmic countryside that guarded the approaches to Antwerp, which was their ultimate battlefield objective. This delay gave their French foe ample time to regroup and reinforce their lines with fresh troops.
