–Or, I Can't Believe I Ate (Almost) The Whole Thing!
In the Museum's American Collection galleries, in the Lower Level of the Kahler Building, you will find a sculptural bust of a very pretty young woman. Carved out of gorgeous white marble, she seems lost in thought, musing on something. Could she be musing her fate?
The young woman in question is Proserpine ("Persephone" in Greek), the goddess of spring, according to Classical mythology.
Proserpine is one of the most famous victims of date rape, ever. What's even ickier is that the aggressor in question was her uncle, Pluto ("Hades" in Greek), the god of death and the Underworld.
One day when Proserpine was out and about minding her own business, Pluto decided he had to have her for his bride. Accordingly, he kidnapped her and brought her down to the Underworld, land of the dead. Fortunately for Proserpine, her mother Ceres (Demeter), goddess of the harvest, was not going to take this lying down. After investigating her daughter's disappearance—during which time the earth lay fallow and parched—Ceres figured out that her brother was the culprit and went down to the underworld to get her daughter back.
It's sort of like a Classical version of a Lifetime Network mother's vengeance movie, isn't it?
Meanwhile, Proserpine was making the best of things. So much so that she decided to have a snack, which in this case consisted of eating six seeds from a pomegranate. Then as now, pomegranates were gorgeous, luxury fruits, and a very sensuous eating experience. But Classical mythology, pomegranates were considered the food of the dead. (Which, given their antioxidant properties, is certainly not the way they're marketed today!)
When mama Ceres showed up in the Underworld, ready to rumble, she learned two things: one, that Proserpine had fallen in love with her uncle/husband; and two, there was that pomegranate-eating business that linked her daughter to the dead.
Thus, Proserpine was only able to leave the underworld for only six months at a time. The remainder of the year—the other six months—she had to stay there, since she had eaten six seeds from the pomegranate.
The myth ends very tidily, with Proserpine returning to the land of the living, bringing—you guessed it—flowers and good weather with her. Proserpine's travels are the way Classical storytellers accounted for the changes of seasons. (In Milwaukee, we know very well about six months of winter!)
The Milwaukee Art Museum's bust of Proserpine was designed by Hiram Powers, a Cincinnati-born artist who became one of the first American artists to move permanently to Rome in the mid-nineteenth century. Powers was fascinated by the artistic legacy of the Eternal City. This explains why the bust of Proserpine looks like it might actually have been made several thousand years earlier. Surrounded as he was by surviving examples of Classical statuary, Powers carefully evoked the clean lines of antiquity, giving his pomegranate-eating goddess a hairstyle based on the past, as well as choosing a format—the bust length—that also harkened back to Ancient Rome.
The suggestion of absorption on Proserpine's part, however, is something that is very much Powers' own, nineteenth-century combination. As much as he and his eventual American colleagues in Italy borrowed from the past, they also infused their works with narrative elements, personalities and emotions that were very contemporary.
The bust of Proserpine was so popular that Powers made numerous versions of it. The Milwaukee Art Museum's bust was acquired by Milwaukee collector Frederick Layton, the meatpacker and philanthropist who established the city's first public art gallery—and the ancestor of our current Museum—in 1888.
So as we wait for spring to arrive, come to the Museum to see Proserpine and encourage her to get moving and hurry up already!

"An absolute must for any Beatles fan."
This is an incredible book and it delivers the most in depth story....even deeper the The Beatles Anthology ...I could not imagine anymore could be written about the Fab Four...was I wrong and happy that I was. Looking forward to the next two parts of this trilogy. Enjoy....also incredible narration...spot on.
"Refreshingly honest."
Shirley Jones was clear, concise and honest in the presentation of her life and those who were a part of her life. Having found celebrity with her roles in Oklahoma and Carousel people tend to equate the role to the person i.e. Julie Andrews and Maria Von Trapp. Neither of these two talented actress could live up to the people some fans ideal or what they wanted them to be. I found her frank and open story of her life refreshing and honest. I applaud her for making the decision to be so frank and honest and letting the reader that clear of a look into her most private of moments,hopes,thoughts and loves. She shared her story warts and all without being vidictive or mean. I was moved to read this book because I always thought Carousel was the best of all musicals and the very best of all the Rodgers and Hammersteins offerings. It was a high water mark for Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones (so happy the fates kept Sinatra off the credits-great talent-wrong part). All the negative reviews I read before I purchased the book moved me more then anything to read the book...totally unfounded. Good book....very interesting and entertaining.
"HERESSSSSSSSSSSSS Johnny"
Interesting. Few people could ever write this story. Such a private man was Carson.
At first the readers performance was bordering on annoying until I got the idea that Carson's New York attorney may sound like this...then it seemed appropriate. Many interesting stories and you learned quite a bit more about one of this countries most popular entertainers. It was certainly a complicated personal and business relationship between the author and Carson it ended as strangely as it began...which could also be said of Johnny Carson's own life and certainly of many of his personal relationships. If you are curious about the life of Johnny Carson...this book should be very enlightening and is also very entertaining.
"Wow...what a surprise."
Having never really been a big Who fan I am not quite sure why I choose this title...certainly am happy I did so.....I almost felt I was on the Magic Bus. My preconcieved notions about the members of the band were flat out totally wrong. Pete Townsend I always knew was talented...even though not a big fan anyone who is a peer of those who madeup the British Invasion would have to be deaf not to heard and appreciated at least some of the Who's music. But Pete Townsend is so much more....he has really packed in a massive amount of accomplishments and interests and career's (yes multiple careers-while a rock star) into his life. A truely remarkable man. The only disappointment I had was he mentioned so many cities that he traveled,toured ,vacationed and visited...but when telling the story of Keith Moon driving the Lincoln into the pool at the Holiday Inn...he omitted saying it was in Flint,Michigan...as that is my hometown I wish he had-but then it is his story and his book.
His performance in reading the book was incredible...again far beyond what I could ever have imagined. He told a fascinating story and held my attention with an incredible performance....he proved to me he could perform on many different stages in many numerous ways. Funny it just occured to me how he shared all of his vast accomplishments and never once was he bragging or boastful...in fact quite the opposite...I admire that as well he certainly could have. A great listen-enjoy.
"Get to know Neil Young"
We all have preconceived notions about celebrities,entertainers and notable persons and often what we read about them is usually far from the truth. When one writes their own story they also like to gloss over or reinvent the truth. Never felt that with this book...his words rang true and you felt upon completion that you were really getting to know him and his friends and family. The structure of the book was very similar to Mark Twain's "Chapters of my Autobiography". Not unlike the lyrics he has written he told stories and relived events and talked about the monumental as well as the trivial...he discussed living his life and all those who influenced it intimately. It was refreshing and pure and it was also interesting to see what joy he had taking this journey -even when presented with challanges he seemed find a positive that made him keeping moving and exploring. For all his fame and fortune he is certainly a humble,kind and positive person -I admire that.
"In depth review of Romney"
I read "The Amateur:Barrack Obama" and "The Real Romney" both books,I feel, gave a fair assesment of both men,their beliefs,their achievements and their lives. It sealed the deal for me-four years ago we drank the Kool-Aid and elected someone who had no idea what to do. Romney is far better equipped to lead us out of this mess we are in while restoring our international reputation. Both books are well written and well performed...I wish everyone could read both books before voting.
"New Respect"
What an interesting life-hard work does pay off. New respect for this mans talent and more so for his accute business accumen. Well written...interesting,informative...here is a man blessed with good fortune who had the wherewithall to enjoy it-he appears to enjoy all he has accomplished...and quite frankly-I do not blame him one bit-very satisfying book-thank you Sammy for putting pen to paper!
"Expected a lot..."
What I got from this is rather a tragic look at what should have been a more exceptional man. He attained what most only dream of and for all intents and purposes blew the opportunities. He attained so much in such an unexceptional manner. One exception was the way he spoke of Conner's brief life-very sad and written with a paint brush...you felt you were there. I met Eric Clapton in the 60's and I was envious of him then...after hearing his words the envy made me feel very happy to be me.
Though the book promises to set the record straight, to an avid fan, it does not really live up to that proclaimation. Yet it is well performed and Cynthia has told her own story and done so in a straight forward and intersting way. For any fan of the Beatles and/or Lennon it is a must read. And she does relay some stories and information that have added some insight,humor and sadness into the story. Definetly hear the unabridged version.
"I surprised"
I never really gave Steve Jobs more then a moments notice. Reading this book you come to realize he was possibly one of the most important people to have lived in the 20th Century and assuredly of the 21st Century. Having always been a Windows customer until my I phone I must say after reading this book I will never buy a computer or related item that is not an Apple product...it is not necessarily the man I admire it is the perfection,thoughts and his determination for perfection I admire and the fact that he usually attained it.
It did strike me as odd the be soaking in this book through my new I phone.

Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny and sports stars Brian O'Driscoll and James McClean are in the firing line after refusing to wear a poppy on Remembrance Day.
Kenny made history as the first Irish leader to attend a Remembrance Sunday event in Northern Ireland in Enniskillen.
But, like his deputy Eamon Gilmore at an event in Belfast, Kenny did not wear the traditional red poppy salute to fallen British soldiers.
Derry born McClean has been criticised after refusing for 'personal' reasons to wear a special jersey with a poppy inscribed as his club Sunderland lost to Everton in the English Premier League.
And O'Driscoll has been attacked for not wearing a poppy while working for the BBC at the Ireland-South Africa rugby game.
The Irish government has defended Kenny's position after he attended a memorial service which also remembered those who died in the Enniskillen bombing.
Kenny's spokesman said, "Normal protocol when attending official ceremonies does not involve wearing the poppy. It is official Government policy stretching back decades not to wear any commemorative symbol at official events."
Ireland soccer team boss Giovanni Trapattoni has backed McClean's decision after a string of abuse was directed at the Derry player on social media sites.
He told the Irish Sun: "It's his own choice, every country is different. Obviously I'll defend him if people are criticising him and asking why he didn't do it.
"He chose and I can only say 'I respect your choice.'"
A statement from Sunderland defended the actions of McClean who comes from the Creggan estate in Derry where so many died on Bloody Sunday.
The club statement said: "As a club, SAFC wholeheartedly supports the Remembrance commemorations. It was James' personal choice not to wear a shirt on this occasion."
McClean is to auction his match jersey to benefit a leukaemia charity.
Ireland rugby team captain Brian O'Driscoll has yet to comment on his decision not to wear a poppy.

How to Select
How to Shop for Light Switches
Did you know that defective light switches are one of the most common reasons for light failures? It is hardly surprising: a light switch is used at least two times daily, and about one thousand times annually, wearing out switch parts and loosening wire connections. To ensure that light switches will not fail you and stand up to constant and heavy use, they need to be high-quality and durable. Since there are so many types of light switches, it is also important to choose one that will suit your particular needs.
There are three types of switches identified by the number of terminals: single-pole, three-way, and four-way. The most common kind is the single-pole switch. It controls just one light or set of lights from one point and has two terminals. Three-way switches are a bit trickier: they have three terminals and are always used in pairs, allowing the home owner to control a lighting fixture from two locations. This type of light switches is especially convenient to use at the bottom or top of a staircase. Four-way switches have four terminals and are always accompanied by a pair of three-way switches to control the lighting fixture from three or more locations. These models come in handy in a home with large rooms and numerous living areas.
Light switches also vary depending on the movement a person uses to turn the light on and off. Toggle switches are the most common type and can be operated by flipping a single lever up or down. Another type, rocker switches, can be used simply my pressing one of the two sides of the switch down. They are easy to operate even if you arms are full of groceries. Pushbutton switches are also a popular model and can be found in many households. They are activated with a button that is pressed and released and are often illuminated.
If simple switches do not quite satisfy you, there are more sophisticated kinds of light switches called specialty switches. These units are designed to make your life more convenient and comfortable and include dimmer switches, combination switches, illuminated switches and pilot-light switches that glow when power flows to a light fixture that cannot be seen from the switching point. More complex types include timer switches and models with motions sensors that can detect movement and turn the light on and off.
Combined with proper light fixtures, investing in a high quality light switch will result in lower maintenance costs and more stable lighting in your home.

One more step toward equality
Thursday, January 31, 2013
No one should want to go to war, unless it is a choice of last resort. But if the need arises, any able-bodied man or woman should have the privilege and opportunity to serve.
While the move toward equal rights for women has made great progress since the 19th Amendment gave them the right to vote in 1920, many a glass ceiling has stood in the way of advancement to positions of authority and power.
Again, from the AP: The change won't take place overnight. Service chiefs will have to develop plans for allowing women to seek the combat positions, a senior military official said. Some jobs may open as soon as this year, while assessments for others, such as special operations forces, may take longer. The services will have until January 2016 to make a case to that some positions should remain closed to women.

Dan Sims's company arose out of one of his first projects in the Mason MBA Program: a business plan competition. Sims says, "As I began to prepare my plan for the competition, it became clear that I was on to something. That something ultimately became the Sims Management Group and then THE AGENCY Speakers LLC." THE AGENCY Speakers is a full-service speaker agency and talent management company that specializes in the representation, placement, and management of keynote speakers and entertainers.
In 1999, Sims came to a turning point in his career when a colleague recommended him for a program consultant position at Leading Authorities Inc. It was there that Sims began to learn the talent business and worked as a liaison between associations, corporations, and schools looking for speakers and entertainment for their events. Six years later, Sims decided to pursue the Mason MBA because he knew there were many things he didn't know about business.
Sims began THE AGENCY Speakers while pursuing his MBA and says he found that each class significantly influenced his life as an entrepreneur. "I was surprised, and excited, by all the information I was exposed to daily," says Sims. Although the initial challenges were tough, Sims says that the start was "the combination of very hard work, very good fortune, and timing!"
When asked about his experience at Mason, Sims says, "Without question the most rewarding experience was the exposure to such a diverse and ambitious student body. My colleagues were some of the most interesting and creative people I have ever met, and their willingness to discuss and debate issues was invaluable. With that being said, these discussions did not happen by accident. They were encouraged and facilitated by a fantastic faculty that knew how to bring out the best in our classes."

Thread: 'Meaning' Redux
August 11th, 2008, 07:11 PM #16
Well, there are steps on the way to the end, right?
August 12th, 2008, 01:23 PM #17
The question is all about figuring out where you want to go, and then how to get there.
There are many roads from birth to death, many forks and junctions that bring us to cross paths with others.
If we're lucky we meet like-minded individuals and share experiences and possibly even philosophies and ideas with them.
Having a dream is good. Sharing a dream is better.
What life "means" varies from person to person so there is no universal answer.
The only truth about life (for me anyway) is that it ends, so make the best of it while you can.

Rosh Hashanah Musaf Amidah
The additional Amidah contains the major themes of the holiday season.
The focus of this article is on the additional service of Rosh Hashanah. Reform Judaism does not follow the practice of having an additional Amidah, so they have moved the elements of the service discussed in this article back to the morning service. This article is excerpted with permission from Entering the High Holy Days. It is reprinted with permission from the Jewish Publication Society.
The Amidah always begins and ends with the same paragraphs, while the middle section‑-the most important part of the prayer--changes to suit the occasion. In the case of the Rosh Hashanah Musaf Amidah, there are three blessings in this middle section: Malkhuyot (kingship), Zikhronot (remembrance), and Shofarot (shofar). These blessings represent the basic themes of the day. They were, at one time, part of the morning service and were only later transferred to Musaf.
In ancient times, the core of these three blessings existed as an independent prayer for Rosh Hashanah that was connected to the sounding of the shofar. They may have been created even prior to the destruction of the Temple and only later were incorporated into the framework of the Amidah. The blowing of the shofar, as we have seen, was the main ritual performed on Rosh Hashanah and the only one mandated by the Torah for this day. During the Second Temple period, the sounding of the shofar was introduced by a series of biblical verses that conveyed the purpose and intent of the act. As the Mishnah teaches:
"No less than ten kingship verses, ten remembrance verses, and ten shofar verses must be recited.... We do not recite remembrance, kingship, and shofar verses that are punitive in nature. We begin with verses from the Torah and conclude with a prophetic verse" (Mishnah, Rosh Hashanah 4.6).
While the Mishnah (compiled around 200 CE) does not describe a fixed list of verses to be recited, this text does insist that any verses read on this day contain the proper theme and be positive in nature. Even after the Malkhuyot, Zikhronot, and Shofarotsections were incorporated into the Amidah,it remained the prerogative of the individual to choose the verses to be recited. Eventually, specific verses were chosen and became a fixed part of the service.
Why these three themes of kingship, remembrance, and shofar? In the case of Zikhronot and Shofarot,the origin may be traced to two biblical verses, "…a sacred occasion commemorated [zikhron] with loud blasts [teruah]"(Leviticus 23:23), and "You shall observe it as a day when the horn is sounded [teruah]"(Numbers 29:1). The third theme, that of kingship, is not explicitly mentioned in connection with the first of Tishrei. Nonetheless, rabbinic interpretations attempted to find it in various verses.

Magnet school staff admission policy under review
Friday, January 18, 2013
ROCHESTER — Thursday night the Rochester School Board's Policy Committee voted to reconsider a policy recently enacted by the full board which reads Maple Street Magnet School staff may automatically admit their children into the school without going through the district's lottery system.
During the summer, Superintendent Michael Hopkins presented the board with a request from a full-time teacher recently hired at the school who wished to have her kindergarten-level child added to the coming school year's class. While the Rochester student was previously not accepted through the lottery system held in March 2012, Hopkins explained the school would make accommodations to their class sizes for one more.
The committee clarified if this change takes place, the teacher's enrolled student for this school year would still remain in the school for the next several years and would not be asked to leave.
School Board member Matthew Pappas abstained from the vote Thursday evening, but the rest of the board voted unanimously to move the revised policy onward. The next full board meeting will be held on Thursday, Jan. 31 at 7 p.m. in Rochester City Hall.

How to guides
How to paint your wall
You should normally paint your walls and ceilings with emulsion, acrylic or water-based eggshell. Non-drip emulsion is also available in jelly or solid form, and this is particularly good for ceilings. Never stir non-drip paint, no matter how lumpy it looks. You'll cause the gel structure to break down, and the paint will lose its non-drip quality.
Buying guides
Primers buying guide
If you're painting on bare wood, plaster or metal surfaces, you'll get a better result if you use a primer first. It provides a surface which the paint can bond to and stops the paint being absorbed. Find out more what you need and for what surface.

Corn Bread Stuffing with Chorizo
I was looking for a side dish for my texmex style turkey dinner and I had been wanting to try making a stuffing for a while so I combined the two and made a texmex style cornbread stuffing. For the corn bread I used the cranberry corn bread that I had made the day before. I had seen a lot of more standard stuffing recipes use sausage and I thought that adding spicy chorizo sausage to the corn bread stuffing would be a good idea. I then added some more texmex flavours like chilies, cumin and cilantro. I made it more 'holiday' like by adding some dried cranberries in addition to the cranberries that were already in the corn bread. Since I was only cooking a turkey breast I could not actually stuff the stuffing so I cooked it in a baking pan. The texmex corn bread stuffing with chorizo turned out really well. The slightly sweet, moist, and coarsely crumbly corn bread worked well in the spicy stuffing. The stuffing was nice and moist and tasty and had just the right combination of sweet and spicy. It was a great side for the maple and chipotle turkey breast and it was even better with some maple and chipotle gravy and jalapeno cranberry sauce on the fork as well.
1 pound chorizo (casings removed and crumbled)
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 onion (chopped)
2 stalks celery (chopped)
1 carrot (chopped)
1 red pepper (chopped)
1 jalapeno pepper (chopped)
1/2 teaspoon oregano
4 cloves garlic (chopped)
1/4 cup bourbon
2 roasted poblano chilies (chopped)
8 cups corn bread (day old, coarsely crumbled)
3 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2+ cup chicken stock (or turkey)
salt and pepper to taste
1. Brown the sausage in a pan and set aside.
2. Melt the butter in the same pan.
3. Add the cumin and chili powder and saute until fragrant, about a minute.
4. Add the onion, celery, carrot, red pepper, jalapeno and oregano and saute until tender, about 8 minutes.
5. Add the garlic and saute for another minute or two.
6. Add the bourbon and deglaze the pan and let it evaporate.
7. Place the chorizo, vegetables, roasted poblanos, corn bread, cilantro and cranberries in a bowl.
8. Moisten with the chicken stock and season with salt and pepper.
9. Pour the mixture into an 8 inch square baking pan.
10. Bake covered in a preheated 350F oven for 30 minutes.

Cheers for new year: Portsmouth First Night revelers ring in 2013
Wednesday, January 2, 2013
PORTSMOUTH — The only thing First Night may be lacking is a champagne toast as the clock strikes 2013, but who said you need alcohol to have fun?
It was nearly impossible to miss those sporting the bright lights. Many little ones wore glowing necklaces at the Abracadabra show, produced by Phil Smith, at the Connie Bean at Portsmouth Middle School.
Smith wowed the crowd by making balls disappear and even brought audience members up to try some tricks. He teased some of the participators, such as young Logan, joking that he "visits his airport all of the time."
Smith ended his performance by making his rabbit, Snow White, appear from a balloon animal in a cage. Just a short walk away from the school, Acheson Gown, a music group consisting of singer and songwriter Elissa Margolin and guitarist Tom Acheson Brown, belted tunes at the Middle Street Baptist Church. Margolin said the band plays both cover songs and original music.
TJ Wheeler and "Company" played blues and jazz at North Church, while a Beatles band brought people back to the 1960s with songs such as their popular "Yellow Submarine."
Roderick Russell, described as a sword swallower and mind reader, also performed at the Rep, showing fans his talent that has been featured on the Discovery Channel, the Travel Channel, CNN, NPR and Ripley's Believe It Or Not.
Russell's show was standing room only, as most of the eventgoers were most interested in seeing one of the just 50 sword swallowers in world.
"I won't beat around the bush, I'll just get straight to the point," he punned, before sliding the two-foot-long sword down his throat.
The three-time Guinness Book of World Records holder also showed the crowd how well he can read people, by guessing the cards they were thinking of, the people that mean most to them in their life and which kid drew which drawing on stage.
As the clock moved closer to midnight, people started to exit the venues and make their way to Market Square, boogying down on the side street made into a dance floor near the large ice sculpture at the center of all the fun.
When the countdown was over and 2013 arrived, Portsmouth completed the night with a round of fireworks, lighting the sky as couples and friends danced in the square to Etta James' "At Last."

Twenty classes old, golden-haired, and beautiful- Callie Cobra of California was spending a little relaxing a little day from pleasure inwards the sunday, working on her already unmitigated tan. These hottie was clothed inwards one by her much enjoyed bikinis, an teenie miniature white number that left little to the imagination. Who could resist sneaking a only any pictures of these hiss out inward the sunday especially altho that hottie was wearing the smallest from bikinis? Scare Callie truthfully loved having her tantrum taken so that babe gave the photographer a trifle miniature strip entice and let us precisely say these chab got way greater quantity than these chab bargained for. Altho these chick swayed her haunches back and forth, appealing him with her fingers inward the g-strings of her micro bikinis bottoms, that stud asked Callie what are the feverish thing she has ever done. Her brawl; "A TRIFLE gang bang with an bunch from ebon guys." The photographer not quite dropped hellos camera which made Callie burst into giggles.
Callie continued to move her sexually ruttish body inwards a little sensitively gracious motion. Then these hottie reached up to untie her bikini top. She eyed the webcam cheerfully during the time that the top slowly slid off her shoulders and over her diminutive and joyous mambos. Today glamour, Callie tossed her long blonde hair and then smoothed her hands over her flat tummy and down her petite waist until these hottie was resting 'em on her lonely thighs. Then that sweetheart slipped her fingers into the g-string one time again and began membraning down the micro bikinis bottoms. "U ready to see the cash discharged?" Callie questioned playfully. That hottie shook her booty one last time before letting the bikini bottoms drop to the ground around her ankles.
Today totally dildoing, Callie sauntered across the patio until she reached a trifle yellow lawn armchair. That woman took a trifle stern, leaned back, and made herself comfortable. Later a little minute roughly Callie looked back into the web camera. Then slowly, she began opening her branches high little by tiny until everything betwixt her haunches was on exemplary display. Her consummate fur pie was whole toying and looked worthwhile sufficiently to eat. Callie ran her manicured fingers down her body and rested Them on her g-spot. That chick started massaging herself lazily, letting out diminutive groans of fun. See Callie set her lustful slit baby batter at Nerds.net.

'Two Out Of Three'
19 December 2010
'Two Out Of Three'
Perth. Show 2.
In a bid to avoid checked baggage on my flight back to Sydney tomorrow, I came to Perth with just a small carry-on. It'll be a commercial flight, with the usual "security" restrictions, which means no liquids, gels, aerosols, etc. At risk of over-sharing, in the deodorant department I have long been a Gillette Right Guard man, in its familiar bronze coloured (CFC free) aerosol can. This passes for illegal contraband in scheduled flight hand-luggage so I left it in Sydney. Being unable to pick any up here in Perth I've resorted to some roll-on or other and have spent the past 48 hours with the strange low-grade sensation that suddenly I don't smell like myself. It's been quite peculiar - I keep getting odd whiffs of this sweet smell and thinking "Whatever's that? Oh, it's me." Most unsettling.
It's the last day of term, though a less dramatic one than on other occasions as the tour breaks down into bite-sized chunks for the next while. This is largely due to the movement of the steel systems (which travel by sea) and the large distances involved. Logistics freaks might enjoy looking at the tour dates and figuring out how the three steel systems would move. All the same, there was an amount of sorting and packing to do and a round of farewells and Happy Christmases (it's Christmas, apparently).
The sports-minded English crew were less than chipper about the progress of their cricket team, though apparently there's still everything to play for. There was some talk of which players had come to the show last night and which would be coming to night, during which I overheard the name Michael Vaughan. Despite my total dearth of sport knowledge, this is one name that I know and for quite a circuitous reason. He was the captain of the England cricket team until retiring a year or so ago but I also happen to know that he went to the same high school that I did, an unremarkable Comprehensive school in the north of England. Said learning institution has a Wikipedia page extoling its virtues and naming notable alumni, which number precisely three; me, Michael Vaughan and the actor who played the little boy in The Full Monty. Having two out of three in the same building had to be worth a look.
I'd got the word that he'd be on the mix position viewing platform prior to the show so went to find him, having Googled him first so I'd know what he looked like. There he was and I introduced myself as the designer of the show and, er..., and ex-Silverdale pupil. He looked slightly taken aback and then very amused, before introducing me to his wife, Nicola, who also went to Silverdale - hat trick! We had a great chat and it was wonderfully surreal to be standing in the middle of the 360 crowd in Perth, Australia, talking about Mr. Hutchinson the sports teacher. (He died last year, which I was very sad to learn. We weren't close but I did run into him a couple of years back. I recognised him but after 30 years I didn't expect him to have any memory of me at all. Not only did he recognise me, but he remembered my name, which rather blew my doors off. I laughed and told him how genuinely astounded I was. "Ah," he says, "you only remember the ones who were really good and the ones who were..." "Was I really that bad?", I asked. "Er..., yes. Now you come to mention it...")
Rock historians the world over will no doubt be aware that Perth was the debut city for several U2 songs, being the first port of call on the LoveTown tour. These included Desire and All I Want is You (and almost Love Rescue Me), so these got an airing in the set tonight. Funny to think of Desire as having once been a brand new song.
The touring party now disintegrates for a while, as people fly home for Christmas. Being at the other end of the earth, crew flight-times varied enormously some as early as 12.30am, others late into the following day. Europe is under blizzard conditions, so travel chaos reigns for anyone heading in that direction. Much airport-camping and rebooking lies ahead for many and for a lot of people there was little point in going to bed. Never wishing to miss a chance for a social opportunity, a midnight barbecue had been arranged at Cottesloe beach, to help fill the time. There was beer, & wine and a surprisingly good grill up, in a beach pavilion as the waves of the Indian Ocean lapped onto the beach in the darkness. Then it rained... you have to love an Irish barbecue.

Happy New Year! Thanks for flying Austra
Love your diaries! I too tried just carry-on luggage between Syd-Perth. I forgot the deodorant in my suitcase, so x-ray guy says `Aerosol in luggage' in a very scary way. Hehe! I was allowed to put the deodorant on a tray to go through the customs x-ray separately. Then I was `randomly' checked for possible explosive residue on my clothes. I suppose it has to be done.
