Stack gave the song an "A+".
He also said it was "one of the most memorable and energetic Glee performance(s) ever, thank in no small part to Paltrow".

He called her performance "great".
He also said that he did not know that she could sing.
Benigno and Stack gave a good review for the choreography of "Make 'Em Laugh".

This was also seen by Flandez.
He gave positive reviews on the costumes, props and staging, but had hoped that the cover had more "bite" and "attitude".
Futterman said it was a "buoyant (cheerful) and catchy homage to the old and the new [that] perfectly captures Glees musical spirit".
Vick felt the song could not compare to the previous episode's mash-ups.
She believed the staging was "implausible" (not believable).
Stack wrote that he loved the mash-up.
He gave it an "A-".

The forces that result in adhesion are not fully known, there are different explanations.
Five different types of adhesion have been proposed:
Mechanical adhesion: Adhesive materials fill the voids or pores, and interlock
Chemical adhesion: Where they join, two materials form a Chemical compound.
Dispersive adhesion: Two materials are held together by Van der Waals forces
Electrostatic adhesion: Two materials are held together by electrostatic charge
Diffusive adhesion: Two materials are held together with Atomic diffusion, it is derived from a sanskrit word adhere meaning to hold on

Until 1995 Ethiopia was divided into provinces.
The provinces were divided into awrajjas or districts.
In 1995 they were replaced by regions and two chartered cities.
Eritrea was an Ethiopian province until 1993.
The provinces of Greece were divisions of some the country's prefectures.
In 1887 the provinces were endeed as administrative units.
They were still used for some state services, especially finance services and education, as well as for electoral purposes.
Before the Second World War, there were 139 provinces.
After the war, with the addition of the Dodecanese Islands, their number grew to 147.
The largest province is Dodoni.
1887 disestablishments
The land of Greece was divided in Prefectures from 1833 to 1836.
It was divided again from 1845 until the Kallikratis reform in 2010.
Now Greece is divided into peripheral units.
Italy is divided into 20 Regions (Regioni in Italian) and every Region is divided into Provinces.
There are 110 provinces in Italy.
Each province is headed by a President assisted by a representative body, the Provincial Council, and an executive body, the Provincial Executive.
Local planning and zoning
Provision of local police and fire services.
Transportation regulation (car registration, maintenance of local roads, etc.)

An eggshell is the outer covering of a hard-shelled egg and of some forms of eggs with soft outer coats.
It is a main character of the cleidoic egg, which allows amniotes to breed on land.
Amniotes
Amniotes developed the cleidoic egg early in the Carboniferous period, and this meant they could live and reproduce on dry land.
These early land animals evolved into the reptiles, birds and mammals of today.
In contrast, the amphibia are land animals who must lay their eggs in water, because the eggs are not protected by a shell.
The structure and composition of the eggshell protects the egg against damage, microbial contamination, and desiccation (drying out).
Small molecules can pass through it, so the shell allows gas exchange for the growing embryo.
It also provides calcium for the embryo's skeleton.
Reptile eggs
While many reptiles lay eggs with flexible, calcified, eggshells, there are some that lay hard eggs.
Eggs laid by snakes generally have leathery shells which often adhere to one another.
Depending on the species, turtles and tortoises lay hard or soft eggs.
Several species lay eggs which are nearly the same as bird eggs.
Bird eggs
The normal bird egg is a fertilized egg sitting on the yolk surface and surrounded by albumen, or egg white.
The albumen in turn is surrounded by two shell membranes (inner and outer membranes) and then the eggshell.
The chicken eggshell is 95-97% calcium carbonate crystals, which are held together by a protein matrix.
While the bulk of eggshell is made of calcium carbonate, it is now thought that the protein matrix has an important role to play in eggshell strength.
These proteins affect crystallization, which in turn affects the eggshell structure.
The average laying hen, takes about 20 hours to make the shell.
Pigmentation is added to the shell by papillae lining the oviduct, coloring it any of a variety of colors and patterns depending on the species.
Pacheco is a census-designated place (CDP) in Contra Costa County, California, United States.
At the 2010 census, 3,685 people lived there.
Pacheco is  north of Walnut Creek.
The town was started in 1857.
There was a post office there from 1859 to 1913.
In 1955, postal service started again.
For a short time, Pacheco had a lot of very successful businesses.
During that time, ships from the Pacific Ocean were able to get to the town by going through Pacheco Slough.
Then, during the 1860s, there were some fires, floods, and an earthquake.
These destroyed the town and filled the slough with silt so that ships could not get there any more.
Many people later left Pacheco to go to the nearby town of Todos Santos, which was later renamed to Concord.
In January 2011, the Martinez City Council voted to take over the parts of Pacheco that are north of California State Route 4.
The government was expected to approve the takeover in the fall of 2011.
In March 2012, enough people objected that an election would have to be held about the issue.
The June 2011 Christchurch earthquake was responsible for causing additional damage to an already earthquake-devastated region.
The earthquake took place around 1420 New Zealand Standard Time and was centered next to 3.8 miles deep, six miles from Christchurch.
It had been preceded by another 5.9 tremor that struck at a slightly deeper 5.5 miles.
The earthquake of June 2011 cut down telephone lines and caused numerous outages which left next to 54,000 houses without power.
The tremor triggered the death of an elderly man and several injuries.

The Bombyliidae are a family of flies.
Their common name is bee flies.
The Bombyliidae are a large family of flies.
It has hundreds of genera, but the life cycles of most species are known poorly, or not at all.
Some are very small (2 mm in length), but some can be very large for flies (wingspan of some 40 mm).
Adults normally feed on nectar and pollen.
Those with a spectacularly long proboscis are adapted to plants (such as Lapeirousia) which have long, narrow floral tubes.
The Bombyliidae include a large number of species, but for its size this is one of the least understood families of insects.
There at least 4,500 described species, and certainly thousands still to be described.
The adult flies usually feed on nectar and pollen, and some are important pollinators.
Bee mimics
Many Bombyliidae look like bees and so a common name for the family is the bee flies.
The reason is probably aposematic: the adults are safer from predators because they share the warning colours of bees.
The adult females usually lay eggs near the nests of possible hosts, often in the burrows of solitary bees, wasps or beetles.
The larval stages are predators or parasitoids of the eggs and larvae of other insects.
The eggs hatch into larvae which eat the eggs and larvae of the 'host' insect.
Although most bee-flies usually are fairly or highly host-specific, some species do attack a number of hosts.

Phototropism is growth in the direction of light.
Phototropism is common in plants, but can also occur in other organisms such as fungi.
The cells on the plant that are farthest from the light have a plant growth hormone called auxin, which causes phototropism to occur.
It causes the plant to have elongated cells on the farthest side from the light.
Phototropism is one of the many plant tropisms or movements which respond to external stimuli.
Growth towards a light source is a positive phototropism, while growth away from light is called negative phototropism.
Most plant shoots have positive phototropism.
Roots usually have negative phototropism, though gravitropism may play a larger role in root behavior and growth.
Some vine shoot tips exhibit negative phototropism, which allows them to grow towards dark, solid objects and climb them.
Auxin collects mainly on the darker side of the stem and stimulates cell elongation.
Thus, the cells on the side not directly exposed to light will grow faster than the opposing side, and the stem will curve towards the light source.
Phototropism in plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana is directed by blue light receptors called phototropins.
Other photosensitive receptors in plants include phytochromes that sense red light, and cryptochromes that sense blue light.
A proboscis is a projection or elongated appendage at the front of the face.
In vertebrates, the term is used to describe an elongated nose or snout.
In invertebrates, the term usually refers to tubular mouthparts used for feeding and sucking.
Tuckman's stages of group development is a model of group development made by Bruce Tuckman in 1965.
It has four phases: Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing.
Forming is when the members of a team just got together.
Storming is when they are in conflict and are not agreeing with each other.
Norming is when they have finished deciding what is "normal".
Performing is when they are working together efficiently.
to grow
to face challenges
to tackle problems
to find solutions
to plan work
to deliver results
Performing this is a stage of a fully functional group where members see themselves as a group and get involved in the task.
Clerks is an 1994 American comedy movie directed by Kevin Smith.
