Although my publications include some work on sculpture, silver, jewellery, paintings, drawings, and prints, on heraldry and flags, on Renaissance iconography and emblematics, and on the history of collecting, my main research activity is in the field of European Renaissance ceramics, and particularly Italian maiolica. I have been publishing in this area regularly since 1984. This is a field of study which has to take account of approaches from art history, from material culture studies, from heraldry and genealogy, from archaeology, from analytical science, and from archival research. I have published collections of Renaissance ceramics for the British Museum, the Ashmolean, the National Gallery of Art (Washington), the Musei del Castello Sforzesco (Milan), and the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Perugia, the Detroit Institute of Arts, as well as an important private collection. I have recently catalogued the collection in the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne (the finest collection in the southern hemisphere), and am currently working on a book for the Department of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (arguably the greatest unpublished collection of maiolica in the world).
I have recently been interested in the history of the collecting of maiolica and other works of art by American collectors and museums from the years after the Civil War to the Second Wolrd War. I take the view that to understand the history of collecting you have to be interested in the art market and that that means recording and analysing the history of prices paid both by collector and museums, as well as focusing on the role of dealers. In 2012 I was a Senior Fellow at the Frick Center for the History of Collecting in New York pursuing these issues. One outcome was a provisional list of the maiolica collection of John Pierpont Morgan, one of the largest and finest ever assembled in the USA; this list is too imperfect for formal publication but is made accessible here in the hope it may be useful to those interested in the subject.
I have also compiled, with the collaboration of the staff of the Lehman Collection at the Metropolitan Museum, a set of Addenda and Corrigenda to my late friend Jörg Rasmussen's Italian Majolica in the Lehman Collection (1989), available here.
I have lectured and taught widely in the UK, Continental Europe, the USA, and Canada. Since 2008, I have lectured at the British Museum, the V & A, the Society of Antiquaries of London, the Potteries Museum (the annual Reginald Haggar lecture), the University of Aberystwyth, and the University of the Creative Arts at Farnham; at the Istituto di Studi Rinascimentali (Ferrara), in Pesaro, Perugia, Gubbio, Deruta, Faenze, and Florence; at the Louvre; at the Frick Collection and the Bard Graduate Center in New York; and in São Paulo, Brazil.
I am currently working on a catalogue of Italian maiolica and selected other European and Mexican tin-glazed pottery in the Ashmolean Museum.

I started a blog with grand promises of providing easy recipes for a friend who was overseas and missing home-cooked meals. I think I must have gone on and on about how cooking is not that hard… (which is true), but blogging is a little hard going these days. Another friend recently went overseas, and I promised to post easy recipes he could use – he has been away two months and has complained about tasteless English food, and I have yet to post a recipe.
Anyway I somehow got my act together (and it's a three-day weekend), and so here goes the first easy recipe…
This is actually a one pot rice that my mother used to make in a rice cooker. It's a common Chinese dish, and the hawker version is the claypot chicken rice. This dish is essentially chicken marinated with soy sauce which is then added to the rice, and cooked together. It tastes much better if you add Chinese sausages and mushroom, and a small piece of the best quality salted fish.
As I was only cooking for two, I prefer to steam the rice in individual bowls. You could also microwave the rice instead of steaming it.
First thing to do is to marinate the chicken. I usually use chicken thigh and drumstick, and it's better to debone them. You could also use chicken breast fillet for a healthier version. The marinade is usually light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, ground white pepper, a little sugar and some oil. If you don't have all these condiments in your pantry, just use light soy sauce, salt, white pepper and oil. Sesame seed oil lends a nice aroma, so use it if you can. It's also good to add some ginger juice. This is home cooking at its simplest, so just make do with what you have.
Chicken is the main ingredient, but it's nice to add Chinese sausage and mushrooms. You could also used waxed meat, like duck, that's available during the Chinese New Year season.
Once you have marinated the chicken for about half an hour, it's just a matter of assembling your bowl. Put the chicken, mushroom and sausages at the bottom of the bowl. Then spoon the rice, and add enough water to cook the rice. Steam over high heat for half an hour. You could also microwave it, and cook it like you'd cook rice. It should take about 25 minutes.
My mother cooked this dish in the rice cooker. She'd stir fry the marinated chicken with the mushroom and sausages, and only add them to the rice after it's half cooked. I prefer the rice steamed because it's much softer, but cooking it in the rice cooker is better if you are catering to a bigger family.
I like my rice with lots of chopped spring onions, and with soy sauce and bird's eye chiili. My daughter's plate must be clear of even the tiniest speck of green, so I suspect that's how the boys would like it too – one less item in their shopping list.
1 bowl rice (makes 4 bowls)
2 cups rice, washed
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
300g boneless chicken
4 dried Chinese mushroom, sliced
1 Chinese sausage, sliced
Marinade for chicken
1 tsp light soy sauce
1 tsp dark soy sauce
1/2 tsp ground white pepper
1 tsp ginger juice, or 4 slices young ginger
1 tsb oyster sauce
1 tablespoon oil
Add 1 tsp salt and and 1 tsp sugar to the washed rice.
Marinate the chicken for 15-30 minutes, then add the mushroom and sausages.
Divide the mixture into four, and spoon them into a bowl.
Add half a cup of rice to the bowl, and add water till about half the bowl (abt 1/4 cup).
Steam for half an hour, or until rice is cooked.
Garnish with chopped spring onions and sliced red chilli. Serve with a saucer of soy sauce and chopped bird's eye chilli. You could also make sauce by mixing together 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of dark sauce and 1 tablespoon oil.

I'll try it out this week! :D Yay!

One of my all-time favourites. My aunt used to do the meat mixture for me ahead and I'll just add it to the rice when I cook it during the weekday for a quick easy meal.

Patient Safety Tips
It's your body. You have a right to know.
If you don't understand something your doctor, nurse, or health care professional tells you, don't be afraid to ask again. Your health is too important to feel embarrassed. And sometimes health care professionals forget that patients may not be familiar with large medical words.
If you're having surgery, your doctor will mark the area that will be operated on so that there's no confusion. Be alert, and make sure it is the correct site.
Ask what kind of medication you are being given. Tell your nurse or doctor if you think you are about to receive the wrong medication.
Patients often have similar names or health conditions. If you think the health care professional has you confused with another patient, don't hesitate to speak up.
Don't assume anything.
To make sure you are getting the right treatments and medications by the right health care professionals, tell your nurse or doctor if something doesn't seem quite right.
Expect health care workers to introduce themselves when they enter your room. Look for their identification badge. If you are unsure, ask.
Notice whether your caregivers have washed their hands or used sanitizing solution. This is the most important way to prevent the spread of infections. Don't be afraid to remind a doctor or nurse to do this.
Make sure your nurse or doctor confirms your identity before he or she administers any medication or treatment.
Educate yourself.
Ask your doctor about the specialized training and experience that qualifies him or her to treat your illness.
Gather information about your condition. Your doctor can also provide you with information.
Write down important facts your doctor tells you so you can look for additional information later. Ask if he or she has any written information you can keep.
Thoroughly read all medical forms and make sure you understand them before you sign them. Ask for clarification if you need it.
Make sure you are familiar with the operation of any equipment that you will be using, whether in the hospital or at home. For example, if you will be using oxygen at home, do not smoke or allow anyone to smoke near you while oxygen is in use.
Ask a trusted family member or friend to be your advocate.
Your advocate can ask questions that you may not think of while you are under stress. Ask this person to participate in your care during your visit. They can help make sure you get the right medications and treatment. Your advocate can also remember answers to questions you have asked, and speak up for you if you cannot.
Make sure this person understands your preferences for your care and your wishes concerning hospitalization, life support, and resuscitation. Review consent forms together before you sign them, and make sure you both understand exactly what you are signing. Your advocate should also understand the type of care you will need when you get home. Make sure your advocate knows what to look for if your condition is getting worse and whom to call for help.
Know what medications you take and why you take them. Medication errors are the most common health care mistakes.
Ask about the purpose of the medication and ask for written information about it, including its brand and generic names. Also inquire about the side effects of the medication.
If you do not recognize a medication, verify that it is for you. Ask about oral medications before swallowing, and read the contents of bags of intravenous (IV) fluids. If you're not well enough to do this, ask your advocate for their assistance.
If you are given an IV, ask the nurse how long it should take for the liquid to "run out." Tell the nurse if it doesn't seem to be dripping properly, whether too fast or too slow.
Tell your doctors and nurses about allergies you have, or negative reactions you have had to medications in the past.
If you are taking multiple medications, ask your doctor or pharmacist if it is safe to take those medications together. This holds true for vitamins, herbal supplements, and over-the-counter drugs, too.
Make sure you can read the handwriting on any prescriptions written by your doctor. If you can't read it, the pharmacist may not be able to either.
Participate in all decisions about your treatment. You are the center of the health care team.
You and your doctor should agree on exactly what will be done during each step of your care. Know who will be taking care of you, how long the treatment will last, and how you should feel.
Understand that more tests or medications may not always be better. Ask your doctor what a new test or medication is likely to achieve.
Keep a current list of your medications and share the list with your health care team. Also, keep copies of your medical records from previous health care treatments and share them with your health care team. They will give them a more complete picture of your health history.
Don't be afraid to seek a second opinion. If you are unsure about the nature of your illness and the best treatment, consult with one or two additional specialists. The more information you have about the options available to you, the more confident you will be in the decisions made.

According to the Sochi 2014 website, Team Canada has improved to 2-0 in men's hockey competition at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi with a 6-0 triumph over Austria.
Jeff Carter of the Los Angeles Kings came up huge as he scored a natural hat trick in the second period. Meanwhile Roberto Luongo of the Vancouver Canucks came up perfect with 24 saves.
Other players who notched a multi-point game for Canada were Patrick Marleau of the San Jose Sharks who registered three assists, Ryan Getzlaf of the Anaheim Ducks with a goal and an assist and Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks with two assists. Defensemen Drew Doughty of the Los Angeles Kings and Shea Weber of the Nashville Predators also scored for Canada.
Carter seemed to have great chemistry with Marleau throughout the game. Sometimes they were playing with Crosby, and other times with Toews.
Canada will now play Finland on Sunday for first place in Group B.
The best game of the day came between Switzerland and Sweden. Daniel Alfredsson scored on an outstanding pass from Erik Karlsson in a 1-0 Sweden win. The Swedes however will be without Henrik Zetterberg of the Detroit Red Wings for the rest of the tournament with a back injury.

Making best-selling books into major motion pictures has become a regular process in Hollywood, but now they are branching out from young adult dystopian stories. On April 23 Comingsoon.net reported that the feature film version of "Goosebumps" has just begun production and will star comedic actor Jack Black. The film is based on the horror book series "Goosebumps" by author R. L. Stine.
The books follow child characters who find themselves in scary situations from being lost in the woods to finding haunted houses. Over sixty books were released between 1992 and 1997 and a high rated television series based on the stories ran for three years until 1998. The show was released in over one hundred countries and a features film was first rumored back in 1998.
Columbia Pictures acquired the rights to the movie in 2008 and Darren Lemke was chosen to pen the screenplay in 2012. Stine was initially against the stories being turned into a feature film unless he was directly involved. Rob Letterman will direct the film with a script from Lemke and Mike White, and the film is scheduled to arrive in theaters in March 2016.
Cinemablend announced casting updates for the film including actor Ryan Lee, who played a comedic role in "Super 8," the most recent science fiction film from J.J. Abrams. Dylan Minnette will play the lead role of Zach Cooper, a teenage boy who lives in a small town. He falls for his neighbor, the beautiful Hannah played by Odeya Rush, who is the daughter of Stine.
Black will play the role of Stine, who has all his story manuscripts written. Zach finds the stories and accidentally releases the monsters in the pages on the small town. Then Zach, Hannah and Stine will try to save the town and bring all the monsters back to Stine before they destroy everything. Filming is expected to take place in the counties around Atlanta through the summer months.
The book series has sold over three hundred million copies, making Stine one of the best-selling children's authors ever. The stories have spawned spinoff shows, video games, clothes, board games, sports helmets and more. Amy Ryan, Jillian Bell, and Ken Marino have also signed on to appear in film but their roles have not been disclosed.

Maserati has unveiled the first surprise of the Geneva Motor Show – the Alfieri concept car, which previews a future 2+2 Maserati sports car.
Named after one of the founders of Maserati, the Alfieri was introduced to Geneva Motor Show crowds by CEO Harald Wester, who proclaimed it "the future of Maserati." It remains a concept but Wester said: "We are currently considering whether this car could be put in to production."
Alfieri concept - looks a very plausible Ghibli based coupe for Maserati. https://t.co/bVKio7TXpP
— Steve Fowler (@SteveFowler) March 4, 2014
• Geneva Motor Show 2014: live
Wester envisions the Alfieri not as a replacement for the GranTurismo but as an additional model in the Maserati line-up. "It's a completely different proposition – the Alfieri is not a GT, it's the perfect size 2+2 sports car that could complete the Maserati range."
It's based on a shortened version of the GranTurismo MC Stradale platform – about 24cm shorter – and is powered by the same 4.7-litre naturally aspirated V8 as that car. It develops 460bhp and is hooked up to a six-speed automatic gearbox.
"The Alfieri is a transition point between 100 glorious years of history and the future that is opening up before us. I can't honestly say that we'll see this car in production in the next two years, but I'm certain we'll see something very similar," said Head of Design at Fiat Group, Lorenzo Ramaciotti.
The interior carries on current Maserati themes of clean, luxurious design featuring a suspended dashboard based around a central touchscreen. The traditional instruments have also been replaced by a TFT display.
Maserati is aiming to sell 50,000 cars a year by 2015 through its recently introduced Quattroporte and Ghibli models – both of which comes with a sales-friendly diesel engine. An SUV is on the way, too, which should help the ambitious sales target – after all, Maserati sold just over 6,000 cars in 2012.
The production version of the Alfieri isn't likely to arrive in 2015 but once Maserati has established its current line-up and the Kubang SUV during 2015, the Italian firm can turn its attention to the Alfieri. With that in mind, expect it to be on sale in 2016.

Guests at Palace Resorts' Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort in Cancun will get a big surprise if they're staying there over the year-end holidays: a world-class ice skating show, right on the property. What's more, Palace Resorts guests staying for five or more nights will get a pair of complimentary tickets for the show (worth as much as $100 a pop).
The 2,400-room Moon Palace is going to turn its arena into a huge skating rink for a colorful production of Broadway on Ice – A Special Holiday Celebration to be presented Dec. 22 through Jan. 4.
The critically acclaimed production will feature skating by Olympic gold medalist Brian Boitano and Broadway star Franc D'Ambrosio along with a star-studded international cast performing to the music of such classic Broadway shows as Phantom Of The Opera, Chicago, Cabaret and Les Miserables. Standard ticket prices will range from $49 to $100 per person.
"The Palace Resorts team continually strives to elevate the all-inclusive concept by bringing high profile acts ranging from Grammy award-winning singers to show-stopping spectacles. These unexpected offerings have further elevated our signature property, Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort, into Cancun's premier entertainment destination," said Gibran Chapur, Executive Vice President of Palace Resorts.
The skating rink will be open to hotel guests during the days of the production. Free ice skate rentals will be provided to guests.
Located on 123 acres on Cancun's south shore, the all-inclusive Moon Palace is among seven Palace Resorts properties overlooking the Mexican Caribbean at Cancun and the Riviera Maya and on the nearby islands of Cozumel and Isla Mujeres.

The "Royal Rumble" comes just once a year. With the thirty-man over-the-top-rope main event, it also features one of the most exciting spectacles of the wrestling year. It also kicks off the biggest season of wrestling every year as the Road to "Wrestlemania" begins.
The Cedar Rapids Pro Wrestling Examiner went to Facebook to poll wrestling fans locally, nationally and internationally about the top prospects to win the Rumble and continue to "Wrestlemania" to battle for the WWE World Heavyweight title. For the sake of simplicity, fans were asked which of the three top heroes in the company outside John Cena were most likely to win the event. Fans were asked to choose between CM Punk, the returning Batista and Daniel Bryan. Bryan faces Bray Wyatt in a singles match, but with the rest of the Wyatt Family in the Rumble most fans expect Bryan to make an appearance in that match as well.
The fans polled in our informal survey chose Batista three to one as their favorite to win the match and go on to battle Randy Orton. Wrestling fan David Schlichtig said, "I chose Batista. I just don't see him losing in his first match back." With a feud against Alberto Del Rio in the cards and a possible blow off at "Elimination Chamber", the monster does seem aligned to very easily slip into one of the top spots in the biggest WWE show of the year. With his return spotlighted on the Monday before the "Royal Rumble" he seems poised to make a huge splash in some way for "Wrestlemania XXX".
Coming in second in the pole was CM Punk. After settling his score with Paul Heyman, Punk is being drawn into the story against the Authority. Embroiled in battles now with both The Shield and the New Age Outlaws, he now looks to be developing problems with Kane. Of course, the WWE World Heavyweight champion is the Authority's favorite figure, so he could very well be on a collision course with Randy Orton. However Orton & Punk faced off in a "Wrestlemania XXVII" undercard match. It seems unlikely they would meet again in a main event spot. Factoring in rumors of a Triple H/CM Punk match in the cards, Punk may end up off the table entirely.
Daniel Bryan fell by the wayside for many fans, especially since he's not currently listed as a contender in the thirty man battle royal. The lackluster end of his previous main event spot puts him as a popular "Wrestlemania" main eventer in many fans' eyes. He seems to be one of the most over talents on the roster with television audiences going crazy chanting for him. As someone that faced off against Orton in three straight pay-per-views and during televised matches, another shot at Orton seems unlikely. However a John Cena versus Bryan match could recreate some of the magic they had at "Summerslam" especially should Cena go into this contest fully healed.
The greatest attribute of this year's "Royal Rumble" is its utter unpredictability. Several stars could walk out as the winner. Whoever goes on to main event "Wrestlemania XXX", WWE seems on track to produce one of their greatest pay-per-views in years.
Wrestling fans in Cedar Rapids and beyond can watch "Raw" every Monday night and "Smackdown" every Friday night, both at 7 p.m. Central. The "Royal Rumble" airs Sunday, January 26 on pay-per-view.

McKinley Ave
Echinocereus grandiflora
Here we have an arm from a cactus that had so many blooms, it broke under the weight. I feel like there could be a fairy tale about the cactus that tried to bloom too much. We could call the cactus Pokey; and the other main character, the cactus that bloomed just the right amount, we'll call Pimsey.
Maybe we should have an evil Queen, Vordella, and a shining Knight by the name of Silmark. Vordella controls the Cholla Army while Silmark, speaking in cactus, requests the help of the Hedgehogs. A battle ensues, but Pokey is more interested in playing with the snails and slugs and doesn't realize when Vordella, using mind tricks, convinces him to help the nasty Chollas gain access to the Hedgehog store of gold.
Well, you get the idea. You can finish the fairy tale in the comments.

I know this fairy tale. The hero was the the king of the Agave Snout Weevils, who mobilized his fellow slugs when he realized that Pokey was under the influence . The snout weevil army overcame the nasty Chollas by surreptitiously chewing their roots. They didn't realize what had happened until it was too late. It was a slow and painful death. Pokey and Pimsey lived happily ever after, which in cactus flower land, is about 12 hours.

What are good equivalent centos commands using functions in
/etc/init.d/functions such as
daemon to perform the following tasks?
STARTCMD='start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/sbin/swapspace --quiet --pidfile /var/run/swapspace.pid -- -d -p'
STOPCMD='start-stop-daemon --stop --oknodo --quiet --pidfile /var/run/swapspace.pid'
It looks like
daemon will work for the start command and
killproc is used for the stop command.
. /etc/init.d/functions
pushd /usr/sbin
daemon --pidfile /var/run/swapspace.pid /usr/sbin/swapspace
. /etc/init.d/functions
killproc -p $(cat /var/run/swapspace.pid)
Would the --oknodo be needed in the CentOS env (the swap file is really only boot-time)? "oknodo - Return exit status 0 instead of 1 if no actions are (would be) taken."
I don't see quiet in
daemon or
killproc, I can't imagine that it would matter though.
The original start-stop-daemon for swapspace seems to have both -p and --pidfile (the same command). That must be an error.
Did I miss anything? Any idea why daemon not create the pid file?

Michelin Presents Wallpaper Wednesday: Gumball 3000 Challenger
Last week at this time, I was on the Gumball 3000 rally. I think I was in Spain. Over the weekend, a friend who didn't know I was out of town asked how my week had been. This is what I told him:
"Well, I flew to Miami, where I met up with a pair of Russian models driving a Lamborghini Gallardo on the world's craziest road rally. From there, we went to Atlanta, New York, Edinburgh, London, Paris, Barcelona and Ibiza. It's called the Gumball 3000, and it's rad. Want to see a picture of me and Tony Hawk?"
That about sums it up. I'm not bragging, just still tired. The Challenger above was on the Rally too. Enjoy.

Runnin' With The Devil - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
The episode begins with a meeting at the firm which is being attended by the firm's partners. They welcome Alicia to the board. They then move on to business and Lee proposes that they need to now acquire the 27th and the 29th floor. Diane is against this proposal because she needs to study the economic impact of this decision on their economy. We then see that 50% of the partners are against Lee's proposition and Diane wants Alicia to head the sub-committee which will study the economy impact of Lee's proposition. They then decide to hire a new investigator to work with Kalinda. Alicia is not too happy with that either.
Alicia joins the sub-committee that is looking into the hiring. At, court, Alicia meets Liz, an old friend, and they are on the opposite sides again. Alicia tells Cary that Liz was her nemesis in school and she is good. In the courtroom, Liz and Alicia present their arguments and the Judge allows Bishop to meet his son for two hours. Liz then tells Alicia that even at school, she would always let her win one. Cary tells Alicia that Kalinda found the CI's boyfriend, Noah in the morgue. Later, Alicia tells Bishop that he is still the suspect. Bishops feels that with Noah dead, their case would become very weak. He tells Alicia about another lawyer, Charles Lester. He wants Alicia to work with Lester. Next, Cary and Kalinda are looking at a video from Bishop's fitness center.
Kalinda points out to Christina, three months before she was murdered. Later, Cary and Alicia meet Charles Lester. Charles is an old man. They decide to meet Ike Cramer from the fitness Center. Alicia and Cary question Ike and Ike tells them that in a meeting, Bishop had told them that if he caught anyone skimming, he would kill them. Ike says that Bishop had a serious side to him. Charles is struggling with his papers. He then asks Ike some ridiculous questions. Will and Diane want Kalinda to look into a client named Seth. They tell her that Seth made his payment on time and in full, which could mean that he is leaving. They want her to check on him and see if he is meeting other firms. On the stand, Ike changes his statement. He tells the courtroom that Bishop said that he would get rid of anyone who was caught skimming.
Alicia and Cary are shocked. At their office, they wonder why Ike changed his statement. Just then Charles arrives and asks them if he could take a look at the video tape. He feels that it could be damaging. Kalinda learns that a second investigator is being hired and she confronts Will. She is not happy. On her way out, he tells her to check on Seth. Kalinda goes to meet Seth, and Seth tells her that the firm is making him feel less special. He says that he has been talking to someone from their firm, someone who is good with all "his" cases. Kalinda figures out that Seth has been talking to Cary. Next, Alicia and Charles are waiting to meet the second witness and Alicia tells Charles that she did some background check on him and found out that he has had only two clients in all these years.
She also found out that Charles does not have an office. Charles tells her that he is a small time lawyer and likes to work from home because he likes spending time with his wife. Just then, the second witness arrives and tells them that he did not see Bishop murdering anyone. He only saw Bishop get into a car. Alicia tells him that the dead body was found in the same car. Charles then asks him about his daughters and makes a casual statement. Later, Alicia asks Charles if that was a threat. Charles says no. In the courtroom, the witness testifies that he was under the influence of oxycodone when he saw Bishop get into the car. Later, Liz feels that Alicia is intimidating their witness to change their statements. Alicia tells Liz that she is doing no such thing.
She then asks Charles if he would like to see the tape. Later, Alicia and Charles go to meet Bishop and Bishop tells Alicia to leave them for a while because they have something to discuss. Alicia finds this strange. Just then Alicia is called to the Judge's chambers and she sees that Liz is telling the Judge that she was being followed by a black vehicle. Also, her son was approached by someone at school. She feels that one of Bishop's men is trying to intimidate her and her son. Alicia tells the Judge that she has no knowledge of any such thing. Next, Will and Alicia decide on a girl who is supposed to assist Kalinda. Diane doesn't approve of her. Charles arrives to meet Alicia. Alicia confronts Charles with some information from his past.
He then brings up the death of one of the firm's associates after Alicia joined the firm. He tells her that defense attorneys are always misunderstood and he feels that they should be friends. Alicia wants to handle Dexter's testimony alone. Charles reminds her that Bishop wanted her to take him in on the case. They then go to meet Dexter. Dexter tells them that he did not want to testify against Bishop. He says that the AUSA has evidence against him. They have found his DNA under Christina's fingernails and so they are threatening him to testify. Kalinda tells Diane and Will that Seth is talking to "somebody" but she doesn't give out Cary's name. Robyn meets Kalinda and tells her that's he is going to be assisting her.
Kalinda then goes to meet Cary and tells him that she knows that he is talking to Seth. She tells him that she hasn't told Diane any of this, but she wants Cary not to do this again. Kalinda is going through some files and Robyn wants to help. Kalinda hands over Christina's file to her. Robyn notes that there was a particular substance found in her body and she thinks that Christina was poisoned. Kalinda tells her that Cristina was shot. Robyn states that the substance is usually put on the finger nails to prevent one from biting the nails. Next, in the courtroom, Cary presents the reports saying that the AUSA threatened Dexter to testify against Bishop. They hand over reports saying that Christina had no fingernails because she was a nail biter.
Charles tells the Judge that they should dismiss Dexter's testimony. The Judge agrees. Liz then tells the court that they have one more witness to present and that is Bishop's sister, Judy Bishop. Everyone is shocked. Judy is on the stand and Bishop tells Alicia that Judy is lying because she wants custody of Dylan. Charles senses that the Judge is going to decide against them. Alicia quickly asks for a recess to prepare for a rebuttal since Judy is a last minute addition to the witness list. Next, Robyn and Kalinda are on a horse farm to confirm Bishop's alibi that he was at the farm on the night of the murder. The cameras were intentionally turned off. Robyn notices that the electronic gate is the only way in and out of the farm. They check the electronic logs.
Later, Cary, Alicia and Charles talk to Bishop. They tell him that the logs show that someone was buzzed into the farm around 8.32 pm and that person could be the alibi. Bishop tells them that he had a meeting with someone who worked for another" organization", and that he cannot have him come on to the stand and testify. They tell Bishop that this is their best and only chance. Bishop is in a dilemma. Next, we see that Charles goes to Judy's house to meet her.
At the courtroom, Alicia tells Charles that she has found something that will help in the dismissal of Judy's testimony. In the courtroom, Alicia is about to put forth a motion when the Judge stops her and tells her that Judy has withdrawn her testimony and so, due to lack of evidence, Lemond Bishop is being released. Bishop is happy and hugs Charles. Alicia is stunned. The episode ends.

Minneapolis, Minn. -
The Arizona Wildcat men's tennis team dropped their first road match of the season, 6-1, to the DePaul Blue Demons. The match marked the first meeting of the two schools and was held at Baseline Tennis Center in Minneapolis, Minn.
"The guys competed well but we need to learn to adapt a little better to different conditions as well as different opponents," said head coach Tad Berkowitz.
The day began with doubles play where the Cats were edged on all three courts. On court one, the Blue Demon team of George Chanturla and Filip Dzanko dispatched the Wildcat team of Sumeet Shinde and Kieren Thompson, 8-2. In the No. 2 spot, the freshman-sophomore duo of Andre Vidaller and Ionescu fell, 8-3, to Mathias Hambach and Sven Kasper. To complete the sweep of the Wildcats, the Blue Demon duo of Matija Pallnic and Aaron Chaffee edged the Wildcat's southwestern duo of Mario Urquidi and Carlos Bermudez, 8-3.
In singles action, Thompson earned the Wildcats only point of the day with a win on court six, where he played Josh Dancu. The Brisbane, Australia native took the first set, 6-3 but fell in the second, 3-6. The match entered a super-tiebreaker and Thompson came out with an 11-9 victory.
Also entering super-tiebreakers were Vidaller and Urquidi in the No. 1 and 5 slots. On court one, Vidaller fell in the first set against DePaul's Dzanko, 2-6, but answered with a 7-5 victory in the second set. With the match tied at one set apiece a 12-10 super-tiebreaker decided the match in Dzanko's favor. On court five, Urquidi clinched the first set against Pallnic, 6-4 but fell, 7-6 (5) in the second set. In the super-tiebreaker the El Paso, Texas native was edged 10-5.
Shinde, Bermudez and Ionescu fell in straight sets on courts two, three and four. In the No. 2 slot, Shinde, a freshman from Pune, India, fell 6-2, 6-0 to Chanturla. On court three, Bermudez battled Kasper. The freshman from Tucson fell 6-4 in a close first set and 6-2 in the second. Hambach edged Ionescu, on court four, 6-1, 6-3.
Arizona falls to 3-2 while DePaul improves to 7-3.
The Wildcats will continue the weekend in Minneapolis when they play the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Saturday. The match is set to begin at 4 p.m. at Baseline Tennis Center.

The oldest tavern in Maine! Since 1779! Amazing!
Their menu.
Hot tea with my choice of tea…
Clam Chowder!
I think this is the best clam chowder I ever had. It's creamy, but not too creamy. It tastes just right! Also, look at all of that clams!
Lobster Roll with sweet potato fries and coleslaw. The lobster roll and coleslaw are good, but the sweet potato fries are the best I ever had!
Apple Crumble.
Overall, I think, this is the best restaurant in Maine with rustic, but cozy atmosphere as though you are brought back over 200 years.

Looking Forward
For as long as I can remember, and especially lately, I've been down on myself.
I've been through a lot of change in the past year: asexuality, finding out about HSP, sleep issues, depression, anxiety, oversharing this at times (maybe now) and not respecting friends' boundaries (truly sorry).
I've always thought that I wasn't capable of great things, that my disability would hold me back, and define me as nothing and not worthy of anyone or anything.
I'm taking steps to be a better me today than I was yesterday. I've started using the headspace app, started using brain training apps, started losing weight again, and retimed my medication which seems to have solved my sleep issues.
I always thought that I wanted to do brave and adventurous things, but never had the confidence to do them and took the easier path instead. But this past weekend, while I was watching My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, there was a character who expressed the same feelings, and the response to that character was that she did something brave and adventurous. What she did, I did. I've written it on a Post-It note so whenever I'm feeling unsure, or insecure I can remember:
Final Improv Shows of 2015
So I haven't updated the ol' blog-a-trola much this past year since moving to Australia. Mainly because I didn't have much to say, but I have been doing improv about town. And I've been doing a slew of classes, which are all coming to the end of term in the next couple of weeks, so here's a list of where you can see me on stage in Melbourne over the next 14 days:
WED 2 DECEMBER 2015 10pm - IMPROV CONSPIRACY - CAGE MATCH. Performing with Tom Twinn as "Best-ish Of British"
FRI 4 DECEMBER 2015 8.30pm - IMPROV CONSPIRACY - BYOT. Performing with Jake Payne as "Man Feelings"
SUN 6 DECEMBER 2015 7pm - IMPROV CONSPIRACY - Musical Improv Showcase. Performing with a bunch of very talented people who have been under the tutelage of Andrew Strano for the past 8 weeks.
SAT 12 DECEMBER 2015 7.30pm - IMPROV CONSPIRACY - Level 3 Improv Showcase. Performing with a bunch of very talented people who have been under the tutelage of Broni Lisle and Simon McCulloch for the past 8 weeks. This show will focus of creating improvised sketches.
SAT 12 DECEMBER 2015 8.30pm - IMPROV CONSPIRACY - Level 5 Improv Showcase. Friendship Train. Toot Toot. Performing with my improv fam who have been under the tutelage of Hayley Tantau and Shea Evans for the past forever. This show will be a Harold. There will be 2 sets to this show. I will be in at least one of them.
And after these shows are done, we'll see if I have succumbed to improv burn out. (Most probably). Not only will these shows mark my last of 2015, but it also marks the end of my core training at Improv Conspiracy, which is sad, because it's been a very big positive of 2015. Who knows where life will take me in 2016. I hope that I'll be able to continue to make stuff up with these really fun people.
I'm just going to take a moment to thank everyone that I've improvised with throughout my time here in Melbourne. If I hadn't found Improv Conspiracy and Impro Melbourne, I wouldn't have stayed in Australia this long.
With Especial thanks to:
MUSICAL - Strano, Rainer, April, Ashley, Carly, James, Jayden, Jess, Laura, Owen, Sabina, Triona
LEVEL 3 - Broni, Simon, Elly, Fiona, Ian, James, Luke, Philippe, Reuben, Vu.
FRIENDSHIP TRAIN - Hayley, Shea, Ashley, Carly, Dani, Elizabeth, Jake, Jayden, Lelda, Leticia, Reb, Tom, Zoe.
BEST-ISH OF BRITISH - Tom and Georgina.
MAN FEELINGS - Jake.
And a big thanks to all the Melbourne improvisers that I've seen perform on stage this year. You've been fun to watch.
TV and me
's up, my babies?
That's right, it's been a while, but I am back.
What have I been doing, other than procrastinating over writing a blog post? That's an easy one, I've been procrastinating over so much. From procrastinating about doing laundry, procrastinating about contacting my wife and son in the UK to let them know where I am in the world, to procrastinating about writing jokes and scripts, I've quite literally not done it at all. (You'll see that jokes are missing from this blog post.)
I have been taking improv classes over here in Melbourne, to get faster on my feet (for running away from my UK based wife), and I've also been losing weight. But that's not the point.
It was through my improv classes that I met comedian Elizabeth Davie. Elizabeth was about to start hosting a weekly current affairs-style show on C31, a Community Television channel here in Melbourne.
The show, Offbeat, is daily and broadcast live at 4.30pm. It's produced by students at RMIT (a Melbourne University). Elizabeth hosts the show on a Monday and asked for people to contribute material. In a fit of pure activity, I volunteered to write some comic material.
And so it came to pass that I have had some material read out on TV here in Australia.
So far, there have been two episodes broadcast live from an outside broadcast unit (14th September and 21st September), and I managed to get some material on the first episode (quite a bit - the Myki joke and some general news jokes), and a couple of lines on to the 2nd episode.
I'm procrastinating from writing material for episodes 3 and 4 (of 12 in the series) by writing this blog post.
See, procrastination rules!
Until next time!
BBC Radio 4 Extra's Newsjack – Series 12 Episode 5 – A Writing Credit
Well, it has been a long time.
Not just in the fact that I haven't posted here on the site in a while (it's a long story, that I will get to eventually, Kif) but a long time in regards to getting a credit on Newsjack. Well, rejoice, because overnight I got some good news!
I got a credit on Series 12 episode 5 of Newsjack. I've been constantly submitting since my last credit on S10E3 without much success. Starting with this series (12th) I have just been submitting one liners (with the exception of last week, episode 4, when I did not submit anything at all due to lack of Internet.)
My 7th credit overall. It's a bright spot in a bleak few weeks.
You can listen to the episode for the next 30 days at the BBC web page or download the podcast for the next 7 days.
In the event that you can't be bothered listening to the podcast, my joke is as follows:
Results are in for the Solar Eclipse. If you want to be able to see again, look away now.
Catch you next time,
Diary Of An Unphilistine
Australia - Thursday 15th January 2015 - Day 2 - Brisbane.
It rained yesterday all day but today it was 30 degrees in the shade, so I have been to a shopping centre with air con. Sadly there is no Morrison's. But sacrifices have to be made somewhere.
I have had coffee and food and I can already feel those 53lbs I lost before venturing over here creeping back on.
Weight gain or no, I've already been wowing the locals with my fashion sense.
Until next time, keep being stylish.
Diary of an Unphilistine
Australia - Day 1 - Wednesday 14 January 2015 - Brisbane
Thought I'd start my new life with a bit of a diary (however infrequently it gets posted.)
My final destination is Melbourne, but I'm spending a few weeks in Brisbane with family first.
Arrived in Brisbane at 6.40am local time on Wednesday. Managed to sleep a bit (probably 6 hours) on the 13 hour 20 minute Dubai to Brisbane leg (and for an hour or so on the Manchester To Dubai leg). I awoke on the plane at 2am Brisbane time. It was my best "sleeping on a plane" journey ever. The only low point was when I dipped the tip of my tie in the baked beans on my breakfast plate once we landed in Dubai. I handled it as deftly as the next International Man of Mystery by sucking the end of my tie to remove the rich tomato sauce. After all, I'm not a philistine. I don't normally travel in a suit, because I don't normally take one. Since I'm emigrating here (and I'll need a job at some point) I figured I better bring the suit. The jacket is fairly heavy and bulky so it made sense to wear it rather than pack it.
After going through e-immigration at Brisbane airport (very quick as opposed to the man at the desk variety of years past) I got my bags and was at my relatives for 8am ish. My British mobile didn't update the time automatically on arrival, so I can't be 100% sure.
Spent the day unpacking at my Auntie and Uncle's and talking to visiting cousins. Ate tea (think I'll always call the evening meal that because I'm from North West of England) of Lasagna and I managed not to spill any of it on my still pristine white shirt. (And didn't spill anything else on the shirt during the entire trip barring the bean juice incident in Dubai.) As I was getting undressed to go to bed (I know what you're thinking, and yes, I do sing the Stripper music to myself during the whole process. Every single time as it makes it into a cardio workout. Though I am glad the tassels did not flag up any issues when I went through the body scanners at the airport.), I noticed there was a small speck of lasagna sauce on my outer cuff. Great, now I'll need to wash it before I wear it again. Not being a philistine is a lot of work these days.
Went to bed after a quick shower at 10pm. Then the smoke alarm went off. It was annoying at first, but after a while the sound (in association with the smoke) enabled me to drift off to sleep easily.
PS. There was even 10MB of free wifi on the DXB to BNE route because it was an A380. Here's me in my shirt and tie at 35,000 feet just off the Northern coast of Australia:
Not pictured, the bean juiced end of the tie.
Eastbound & Down…
Loaded up and truckin'
We got a long way to go and a short time to get there...
See y'all on the other side.
Mundane Monday
It's Mundane Monday.
So now that I finished, I figured that I'd let you know where the fun happened:
It was my first job after university, and it was a lot of fun.
I met a lot of amazing people through my time there, both in the office and in the surrounding areas.
I'll miss it a lot.
Thanks for the memories!
NB. And with that, Mundane Monday comes to a close. For now, anyway. Who knows if Melbourne Mondays will make it's debut in 2015?
Mundane Monday
It's Mundane Monday!
Counting down the working weeks until I'm funemployed the only way I know how.
No weeks to go!
Wait, why the hell am I up at this time?
I'm going back to bed.
Wow Impro: The Christmas Sho!
My pals at Wow Impro are continuing to make stuff up. Without me! The cheek!
It's their Christmas show this week. So come on down to Esquires Coffee House in Coventry this Friday. The 12th of December 2014.
Start your weekend right with a double shot of improv goodness with your comedy baristas: Wow Impro!
FREE show. Show starts at 7pm, finishes at 9pm. Completely family friendly.
Get along and take your friends!
It'll be great!

Ill bet anyone he averages less then 10 ppg in the big 12. Start McGee, at least he looks like he cares. Clyburn looks like he could care less
Good one, needed a laugh after the bowl game performance. The Mountain West is not that bad of a conference and when he was at Utah he was the ONLY thing other teams had to worry about and he still averaged 20+ per game. As far as disappearing, I think that he disappears because our team has so many options of which direction to go for scoring. At times I wish they would focus more on running the offense around Clyburn and getting him more looks and touches.

Sawmills and Wood Production in the US Industry Market Research Report from IBISWorld Has Been Updated
In the five years to 2019, revenue is forecast to rise as the construction sector, particularly the housing market, continues to improve. For these reasons, industry research firm IBISWorld has updated a report on the Sawmills and Wood Production industry in its growing industry report collection.
New York, NY (PRWEB) March 15, 2014
The Sawmills and Wood Production industry, whose primary product is lumber, relies heavily on sales to the residential and nonresidential construction markets. As the construction sector faltered during the subprime mortgage crisis and subsequent recession, demand for lumber to frame houses and support other structures dramatically declined. "In recent years, the construction sector has started to recover as consumers gain employment, businesses earn more revenue and banks ease lending," according to IBISWorld Industry Analyst Leah Goddard. In turn, greater construction activity has bolstered demand for lumber and other wood products, raising industry revenue. After dropping 22.8% in 2009, revenue is forecast to increase at an annualized rate of 5.6% over the past five years. Following growth of 12.2% in 2013, revenue is expected to increase another 2.1% to $27.2 billion in 2014.
The collapse of the housing market also decimated profit margins, as decreased demand led companies to undercut competitors' prices to attract customers. In response to strenuous operating conditions, the industry consolidated over the period. "Struggling enterprises were either acquired by larger players or were so financially devastated that they were forced out of the industry altogether," says Goddard. As a result, the number of companies participating in the industry is projected to decrease at an annualized rate of 1.3% to 3,043 enterprises in 2014. However, as unprofitable competitors dropped out of the industry and demand from the construction sector improved, profit margins rebounded over the period to 5.9% of revenue.
In the five years to 2019, revenue is forecast to rise as the construction sector, particularly the housing market, continues to improve. Additionally, remodeling activity will rise along as home values and disposable incomes trend upward. The value of nonresidential construction will also increase, and this growth will be particularly important as it represents the industry's largest opportunity for market share expansion, according to the Binational Softwood Lumber Council. Global demand for lumber will also raise industry revenue through exports, which will be driven by growing demand in emerging economies such as China and Mexico.

College Hockey:Cornell Leads Way In ECACHL Preseason
ALBANY, N.Y. — The Cornell Big Red has been selected by both the coaches and media as the No. 1 team in this year's ECAC Hockey League men's preseason polls.
The Big Red were a unanimous choice of the media's 21 voters while the Big Red were the choice of 11 of the 12 head coaches. The Big Red are coming off the regular season and tournament championships in the ECACHL.
The coaches selected Dartmouth, who received the other first-place vote from the coaches, second, just one point ahead of Harvard to earn second place with 94 points. The Crimson, which was second overall last year, garnered 93 points and was followed by St. Lawrence with 89 and Colgate with 86. Brown wrapped up the top half with 80 points. The second half has Clarkson seventh with 64 points, followed by Union with 51, Rensselaer with 39, Princeton with 32, Yale with 28 and Quinnipiac with 15.
In the media poll, Cornell garnered all 21 first-place votes, scoring 252 points. It is the second time the media have selected the Big Red to finish first, the last time came in 2002-03, when the team went on to win the league title and play in the NCAA Frozen Four.
The media poll saw some difference in the next few positions, with just 10 points between second-place Colgate (197 points) and fourth-place Harvard (187). Dartmouth sits between the two, taking third with 191 points. St. Lawrence was picked fifth by the media, followed by Brown (159), Clarkson (134), Rensselaer and Union (89 each), Princeton (73), Yale (60) and Quinnipiac (36).
The ECACHL Preseason All-League Teams were also announced from both the coaches and the media. The Big Red had two unanimous selections on both teams in forward Matt Moulson and goaltender David McKee.
McKee returns for his junior campaign after being selected as a Hobey Hat Trick finalist and a first team All-American. Moulson was also a first team All-American.
Both teams also named Jon Smyth of Colgate and T.J. Trevelyan of St. Lawrence as forwards, while the media had a tie and also named Mike Ouellette of Dartmouth.
The defenseman on the two teams were identical with Grant Lewis of Dartmouth and Mike Madill of St, Lawrence.

Atlantis docked with the PMA-2 adapter on the International Space Station at 05:51 GMT on September 10. The orbiter's small RCS engines were used to gently reboost the station's orbit several times.
Astronauts Lu and Malenchenko made a spacewalk on September 11 beginning at 04:47 GMT. They rode the RMS arm up to Zvezda and began installing cables, reaching a distance of 30 meters from the airlock when installing Zvezda's magnetometer. Total EVA duration was 6 hours 21 minutes.
During their 12-day flight, the astronauts spent a week docked to the International Space Station during which they worked as movers, cleaners, plumbers, electricians and cable installers. In all, they spent 7 days, 21 hours and 54 minutes docked to the International Space Station, outfitting the new Zvezda module for the arrival of the Expedition One crew later this fall.
The Shuttle undocked from ISS at 03:44 GMT on September 18 and made two circuits of the station each lasting half an orbit, before separating finally at 05:34 GMT. The payload bay doors were closed at 04:14 GMT on September 20 and at 06:50 GMT the OMS engines ignited for a three minute burn lowering the orbit from 374 x 386 km x 51.6 deg to 22 x 380 km x 51.6 deg. After entry interface at 07:25 GMT, the orbiter glided to a landing on runway 15 at Kennedy Space Center with main gear touchdown at 07:56:48 GMT for a mission duration of 283 hr 11min.

I get enough requests for leg lock submissions these days – and the more MicroBJJ subscribers I talk to, the more I hear them say "I first saw you when I was looking up leg locks on Youtube." Well, you got what you were asking for today.
Rousimar "Toquinho" Palhares is such a dangerous (and some would say "reckless") leg locker, that he's actually been kicked out of the UFC and the ADCC. With that being said, his setups are still VERY admirable, and we can all learn a little something from how Toquinho gets his setups and finishes, here are two of his setups that I think are the MOST fun:
Toquinho Heel Hook Highlight
My Breakdown: 50-50 From Standing into Heel Hook
My Breakdown: Sick Standing Heel Hook
Hopefully that gives you a few great ideas about exactly what you need to be focusing on in your own game – and how you can turn unexpected positions into VERY dangerous positions! Be safe with your training partners, and have fun,

Ahead of the flow
Smoke signalsA typical smoke test encompasses a small portion of a sewer line. Areas showing inflow and infiltration can pop up anywhere along the system. Source: V&A Consulting Engineers

How one city pinpointed the single biggest direct source of inflow and infiltration.
To northern California residents, Cotati, Calif.—located an hour north of San Francisco—is known for its annual jazz, blues, and arts festival in June and a two-day accordion festival in late August. To infrastructure professionals, the city also is known as one that runs its civil infrastructure with the discipline and proactive outlook of a private business enterprise.
Cotati's Water and Sewer Department retained the California firm Winzler & Kelly Consulting Engineers with V&A Consulting Engineers as a subconsultant to complete a master plan of its collection system, including an inflow and infiltration (I/I) study and reduction program that takes advantage of flow monitoring (FM).
The consulting firms partitioned the collection system into 10 basins and conducted dry- and wet-weather flow monitoring, for a total project cost of about $66,000. The data were analyzed to determine which basins contributed the most ground-water infiltration, rainfall-dependent infiltration, and stormwater inflow into the collection system.
When the analysis showed that Basin 9 had a significantly large source of stormwater inflow during the larger storm events, the basin was investigated using several techniques, including smoke testing, low-flow reconnaissance investigations, interviews, and closed-caption TV pipe inspections. Two months of investigation pinpointed the source of the offending inflow: a heavy-water-use business that had three outside floor drains situated adjacent to the property and directly connected to the sanitary sewer system.
At a low point within the watershed basin, the property flooded repeatedly during the larger storm events of the winter season, sometimes resulting in more than 24 inches of standing water. More than 500,000 gallons a day were flushed into the system via the floor drains. The connection of the floor drains to the sanitary sewer was later confirmed using a tracing dye test, and the characteristics of a flood event were consistent with the FM data.
By correcting this single defect, the city eliminated the biggest direct source of I/I in its wastewater system.

Tour Obama's Hawaii on Oahu
I'm in Hawaii for five days, staying at the JW Marriott Ihilani Resort & Spa.
Located about 30 minutes from Honolulu, it's part of the 642-acre Ko Olina Resort & Marina, an active family resort community on the western shores of Oahu.
Although it features an 18-hole golf course, I'm more interested in the 1.5 miles of white, sandy beaches. I'm not going anywhere.
Although if I was, I'd be tempted to go on the Obama Tour Hawaii. Barack Obama grew up on Oahu, and the tour includes where the POTUS went to school, played ball, took in the movies and worked as a teenager.
The narrated tour explores his roots and shares stories from childhood friends, teachers and coaches. The cost is $40 and includes pick-up and drop-off at Waikiki hotels.
Read more about Barack Obama's Oahu in this Vancouver Sun article. It's interesting that the link in the piece to the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau's Obama microsite is no longer there.

Due to crappy financial circumstances, our annual Florida getaway has been canceled this year. We'll just have to do the next best thing: don this Hibiscus Slinky Cami Set ($41), mix ourselves some margaritas, and pretend.
