Becoming Something Else: Some Other Time
How does a song move from being a light, minor number in a musical comedy to a moody, profound take on love and lost time, and in turn a jazz standard? Maybe all it takes is one artist -- in this case,
Bill Evans
-- to live within the song long enough to find what the rest of us missed. It's an old story in jazz. See how fresh
"Some Other Time"
can sound, the farther it gets from its
On the Town
Broadway roots.

I even have them hanging on the garden fence from some new soaker hoses ...
The elevation change from the highway, to the house is quite significant, so we capitalized on it and made different levels in the garden. It's actually a fully landscaped veggie garden, complete with gravel paths and rock steps. And, tons and tons, and tons of hay mulch, to keep the weeds down and amend the soil.
(We brought them down from the upper part of the property.)
I adore the railroad tie borders around the vegetable garden portion.

Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships
The Oxford University Museums AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Partnership (CDP) commenced in 2016 and offers up to three fully-funded doctoral studentships per year. Oxford's CDP studentship programme is led by Dan Hicks (Pitt Rivers Museum). The scheme operates across the four museums of Oxford University - the Ashmolean, the Museum of the History of Science, Oxford University Museum of Natural History, and the Pitt Rivers Museum.
Each CDP studentship is jointly supervised in partnership between one or more of Oxford University Museums and academics from UK Higher Education Institutions (HEI). The partner HEI administers the studentship, receiving funds from the AHRC for the student's fees and maintenance in line with a standard AHRC award. In addition to this full studentship award for fees and maintenance, Oxford University Museums provides up to £2,000 per annum per student to cover the costs of travel between the HEI and Oxford, and related costs in carrying out research. Studentships can be based at any UK HEI apart from Oxford University.
The Collaborative Doctoral Studentships will involve research that helps us to develop new perspectives on our collections and to share knowledge more widely and effectively with a range of audiences, while also training a new generation of scholars working between the academic and heritage sectors.
The third round of Oxford University Museums Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships began in October 2018, in partnership with University College London and the University of Leeds.
Nature of replication: Natural History Museums & the circulation of casts and models
This project is based at the UCL Institute of Archaeology, in collaboration with Oxford University Museum of Natural History (OUMNH). It will explore and reassess the history, significance and curatorial future of natural history cast collections. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, plaster casts, models and replicas were key to sharing unique and rare specimens between museums for scientific scrutiny, museum display and as 'backups' to the originals. Starting with examples from the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, which holds the 'Oxford dodo', one of the most replicated museum objects in the world, this project would look at the cultures of casting and modelling. It will explore the different techniques used in manufacture, key individuals who sold them, existing catalogues, invoices and correspondence in museum archives and the networks of museum curators who commissioned, swapped and shared this material.
This project will piece together the history of cast production as way of sharing ideas as well as examining how museums can best record, promote and display these sometimes second class objects today. It also links to current research being undertaken by OUMNH explore the use of the next generation of 3D visualisation and prototyping in museum spaces, together with the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of user experience.
The studentship is jointly supervised by Dr Alice Stevenson (University College London) and Mark Carnall (Oxford University Museum of Natural History).
Museum Collections, Academic Teaching, and the Making of Geology in the Nineteenth-Century University
This project is based at the University of Leeds, in collaboration with Oxford University Museum of Natural History (OUMNH) and the Ashmolean Museum. We will explore the origins of object-led teaching in the nineteenth-century university and connect this to the current resurgence of interest in the use of museum collections as a teaching resource. The project will be rooted in the extensive source materials in the OUMNH relating to the history of geological teaching, including collections of specimens, models and large-scale lecture diagrams as well as lecture notes, correspondence, and institutional records. Focusing on Oxford's first Reader in geology, William Buckland, and his successor, John Phillips, it will draw on a wide range of evidence to analyse the ways in which they used these materials to teach and develop the science of geology. The findings will be contextualised through extensive comparative research on coeval developments at other universities and provincial museums.
Through the investigation of the role of both university teaching and of material and visual culture in the development of the disciplinary sciences, with a particular focus on geology, the project will encourage a reappraisal of the approaches used in the teaching of this discipline today. Working with staff at Oxford University Museums, the student will also have the opportunity to put the research findings to practical use by contributing to their public engagement programmes.
The studentship is jointly supervised by Dr Jonathan Topham (University of Leeds), Ms Eliza Howlett and Ms Kathleen Diston (Oxford University Museum of Natural History) and Dr Jim Harris (Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology).
The second round of Oxford University Museums Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships began in October 2017, in partnership with the University of Birmingham, the University of Leicester, and Birkbeck University. The studentships were awarded to Abbey Ellis, Helen Goulston and Beth Hodgett, details of their research are provided below.
Archaeological Plaster Casts: In Search of Authenticity
Abbey Ellis (University of Leicester in partnership with the Ashmolean Museum)
Supervised by Dr Sandra Dudley (Leicester), Dr Milena Melfi and Professor Bert Smith (Oxford)
Abbey graduated from Merton College, Oxford in 2016 with a first class BA in Classical Archaeology and Ancient History. In 2017, Abbey achieved a distinction in her Masters degree in Classical Archaeology, also at Merton. Throughout her studies, Abbey was a regular volunteer at the Ashmolean Museum and a founding member of the Ashmolean's Student Creative Board. Abbey also served as Oxford University Archaeological Society president, and was active in archaeological fieldwork, excavating at the Sangro Valley Project and at the site of Lefkandi, Euboea. In 2016, Abbey was awarded funding from the Roman Society for an internship at the Great North Museum, Newcastle.
Abbey's CDP project is split between the University of Leicester, where she is supervised by Sandra Dudley, and the Ashmolean Museum, where she is supervised by Bert Smith and Milena Melfi. Her work is set in the Cast Gallery and focuses on the value, authenticity, and uses of archaeological plaster casts, namely the exact replicas of ancient Greek and Roman sculptures made from Plaster of Paris.
Abbey's project seeks to redefine how the authenticity and value of plaster casts can be understood. She aims to achieve this through an investigation into the use and status of plaster and the technique of casting in the ancient world. In addition, as part of a visitor studies focused phase of her project, Abbey seeks to examine the perceptions that museum visitors currently have of casts. She will be exploring to what extent visitors to the Ashmolean Museum view casts as authentic and worthy of display in the museum. She will be investigating whether current museum displays are doing enough to present these casts as objects in their own right, as opposed to merely being stand-ins for ancient original sculptures.
Where Art and Science Meet: Art and Design at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History
Helen Goulston (University of Birmingham in partnership with the Oxford University Museum of Natural History)
Supervised by Dr Clare Jones (Birmingham) and Professor Paul Smith (Oxford)
Helen recently completed an MA in Decorative Arts and Historic Interiors at the University of Buckingham, achieving a Distinction and receiving the prize for the best performance by a postgraduate Art History student. The course allowed her to develop her knowledge of decorative arts from the late 17th century through to the 19th century, whilst placing them in their architectural and historical contexts. The MA culminated in a dissertation on the historic decorative arts display at The Manchester Art Treasures Exhibition of 1857. Prior to that Helen was an auctioneer and valuer for ten years; this provided her with invaluable hands-on experience of decorative arts across a wide range of eras and mediums. During this time she also qualified as a gemmologist, achieving FGA status.
For Helen's doctoral project, in collaboration with the University of Birmingham and the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, she is researching the interior decorative scheme of the Museum. The Museum was intended as a centre of scientific learning for Oxford University. Henry Acland and John Ruskin were leading figures in the early development of the project, with the Dublin-based architects, Deane and Woodward, winning the building design competition in 1855. By 1859 work had begun on the interior fittings and by 1860 the Museum was open.
The interior includes portrait statues and busts, decorative stonework and ironwork, as well as murals and bespoke furnishings. Helen will be examining and recording these objects and complementing this with research in the Museum's archives.
Helen wishes to examine the function and effect of these decorative objects in a museum dedicated to scientific education. She is particularly interested in the role of a museum in university education. Helen is looking forward to this being an interdisciplinary project, assessing the art and design of the Museum in relation to institutional history, history of collections, museology and the development of different scientific disciplines.
Visual Archaeology: the photographic character of the archaeology of OGS Crawford
Beth Hodgett (University of London, Birkbeck in partnership with the Pitt Rivers Museum)
Supervised by Dr Lesley McFayden and Dr Jennifer Baird (Birkbeck) and Professor Chris Gosden and Dr Chris Morton (Oxford)
Beth Hodgett has a BA in Theology, and an MSc in Visual, Material and Museum Anthropology from the University of Oxford. She has also dabbled in Fine Art, Photography and Art History. Beth has completed several voluntary placements at the Alexander Keiller Museum, Avebury and in the photographic collections at the Pitt Rivers Museum. In 2015 she completed a year-long internship at the Birkbeck Institutes of the Humanities and Social Research, during which she co-organized the Institute's graduate conference. Her research on Francesco del Cairo's "Martyrdom of St Agnes" has been published in the University of Leiden's LUCAS Journal.
Beth's research investigates the photographic archive of archaeologist OGS Crawford (1886-1957). Crawford was a prolific photographer and today approximately 9,600 of his photographs are housed in the Oxford Archaeological Institute. Previous studies have highlighted his pioneering role in the use of aerial photography in archaeology, and have demonstrated how his journal Antiquity was adopted by the neo-romantic movement during the inter-war years.
Due to the wide-ranging nature of Crawford's subject matter, Beth's research takes an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on photographic and material culture theory, as well as insights from archaeology and anthropology to investigate how knowledge of landscape and architecture is produced through photographic and archival practices. Beth is especially interested in the 'seriality' of photographs; exploring how photographs from the archive might relate to each other in time and space, and how this might be used to retrace Crawford's own movements around the globe. The research also addresses the materiality of the archive itself, and considers its onoing life into the present day.
The first round of Oxford University Museums Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships began in October 2016, in partnership with the University of Warwick and the University of Cambridge. The studentships were awarded to George Green and Emily Roy, details of their research are provided below.
Gold Coinage in the Roman World
George Green (University of Warwick in collaboration with the Ashmolean Museum)
Supervised by Professor Kevin Butcher (Warwick), Professor Christopher Howgego and Professor Mark Pollard (Oxford)
George gained a First Class undergraduate degree in Classical Archaeology and Ancient History at Christ Church, Oxford in 2015. He won the Thomas Whitcombe Greene Prize for the best performance in Classical Art and Archaeology, and the Gibbs Prize in Classical Archaeology and Ancient History for his dissertation on coin hoarding in late Republican and early Augustan Spain. During his undergraduate studies he excavated part of a Roman port town in Menorca with the Sanisera Field School. George studied for a Masters Degree at Regent's Park College, Oxford which focused on Roman numismatics, materials analysis and the archaeology of the middle Imperial period. He graduated with a Distinction in 2016.
George's CDP doctoral project is undertaken as part of a collaboration between the University of Warwick and the Ashmolean Museum. He is studying the metallurgy and circulation of Roman gold coinage of the first century BC to fifth century AD, in order to define its significance within Roman society and the Roman economy. It will draw on the combined expertise of Warwick and Oxford in historical metallurgy, scientific analytical techniques, and monetary history.
George's research will combine evidence for metallurgy and circulation to enable an increased understanding of the relationship of gold coinage to the development of Roman society and economy. It will aim to produce a reliable set of metallurgical analyses for Roman gold coinage, a set of data on metal sources and production technology, a new set of metrological data, and a delineation and analysis of patterns of circulation and deposition over time. George will use the representative sample of over 600 Roman gold coins held by the Ashmolean Museum as the basis for his metallurgical study. He will also make use of existing data on gold coinage in the Oxford Coin Hoards of the Roman Empire Project.

Modernization, cultural exchanges and innovation in Russian print culture: St Petersburg in the Talbot Collection
Emily Roy (University of Cambridge in collaboration with the Ashmolean Museum)
Supervised by Dr Rosalind Blakesley and Dr Wendy Pullan (Cambridge) and Professor Catherine Whistler (Oxford).
Emily completed her BA in History of Art at Oxford in 2010. After internships in the Ashmolean Print Room and Waddesdon Manor (National Trust), she completed her MA in Russian Studies at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, UCL. Emily returned to work at Waddesdon Manor in 2012 where she has held a range of curatorial and collections management roles, most recently that of curator.
Emily's CDP doctoral project is undertaken as part of a collaboration between the University of Cambridge and the Ashmolean Museum. Emily's research uses an interdisciplinary approach to examine key questions on modernization, the city and cross-cultural exchanges in Enlightenment and 19th-century Russia. The primary, unpublished research material is found in the Talbot Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, a unique and virtually unknown resource of c.1000 prints dating from the early 18th to the mid-19th century, whose imagery relates to the construction and character of St Petersburg as an imperial capital. This collection was assembled in the west during the Soviet era by Gwenoch David Talbot (d.1972), who had been a successful businessman in pre-revolutionary Russia.
The engravings, etchings and lithographs that he amassed testify to the vitality and range of print culture in Enlightenment Russia, revealing state-sponsored initiatives, entrepreneurial outputs, the adoption of new technologies, and the existence of transnational networks of production and publication. These and other issues will be examined to illuminate the nature of print production and dissemination within the context of Russian modernization and urbanization, against a backdrop of rapid social and political change.

Coral present six sensational Champions League matchday specials!
To celebrate the Champions League final, which will mark the end of the domestic football season around Europe, Coral present six superb specials for customers to take advantage of with a max stake of £20, as Barcelona and Lionel Messi prepare to take on Juventus
Messi to Score & Barcelona to win in 90 mins: 2/1
Currently tied on 10 goals with Cristiano Ronaldo in the Champions League, the awesome Argentine stole the show in the semi-final against Bayern Munich.
He was also at his mercurial best as Barcelona won the Copa del Rey last time out and with Juve's top defender Giorgio Chiellini out injured, the Italian outfit may struggle to contain him.
Barcelona to win in 90 mins & both Teams to Score: 3/1
The Catalan side look unstoppable at the minute, and with the strike force they have, can literally score for fun, with either Messi, Neymar or Luis Suarez. However, they are susceptible to conceding as they proved in the 3-1 win against Athletic Bilbao in their Copa del Rey triumph, when the defence were beaten in the air to a cross.
This is something that Juve are likely to try and exploit with Fernando Llorente or Carlos Tevez.
Messi & Tevez both to score in 90 mins: 13/2
With two talented Argentinian attackers on show, each one will be trying to outdo the other. While the former is arguably the best in the world and a goal machine, the Juve striker has struck on seven occasions in the competition this term.
Juventus to win to nil in 90 mins: 10/1
If the Italian outfit can keep Barca's attacking trio quiet, there is no reason why they can't achieve this, as they have the ability to breach the Catalan's defence. Gianluigi Buffon is a world class goalkeeper, and Italian teams are renowned for defending.
Messi, Suarez & Neymar all to score in 90 mins: 12/1
Each player has made significant contributions in the Champions League this season, and with key defender Chiellini missing, all three could run riot.
Tevez to score & Juventus to win in 90 mins: 12/1
The Italians are definitely capable of springing a surprise, and Tevez will be trying his utmost to outdo compatriot Messi. If Tevez can grab an early goal, Juventus have what it takes to defend a lead, even against Barcelona.
Recommended tip: Messi to score & Barca to win

Comic Book Review by Kerey McKenna.
Like a lot of moviegoers this past weekend, I went bananas for War for the Planet of the Apes, the third installment of the rebooted Planet of the Apes series starring Andy Serkis as the leader of a tribe of sentient apes destined to take over the world and eclipse mankind.
I've had a lot of fun with this series of movies, the first installment being a sci-fi "mad science gone wrong" thriller and "animal revenge" porn and the last two installments a riff on post-apocalyptic survivalism, but with the narrative weight placed with non-humans as the ragtag group of survivors.
To honor the series I was going to review La Planète des Singes (Planet of the Monkeys), the French novel that inspired the original 1968 and 1970 Charlton Heston films, but...well that would just be a film to book comparison and I don't think there is anything in the book that wasn't done in those movies or even the Tim Burton-helmed remake.
But do you know who hasn't made it into any of the Planet of the Apes movies?...TARZAN!
Yeah, Tarzan! If apes rule the planet...could Tarzan do one better and rule the apes?
I say "mash-up," rather than "crossover," because to me, a crossover is a rather straightforward side effect of a shared universe—like when two or more Marvel superhero vigilantes meet each other in NYC—or narratives with enough shared ground they might as well exist in the same universe—like when NBC's police procedural Law & Order, based in NYC, found itself tangled up in a case leading to Baltimore, the jurisdiction of Homicide: Life on the Streets.
Mash-up implies you are taking characters, settings, and/or genres that don't seem like a natural fit, banging them together, and seeing what you get. Take for example the most recent King Kong movie, Kong: Skull Island, which took a giant monster movie and mashed it up with a Vietnam movie…and it worked!
But that's a different ape and a different jungle. Getting back to Tarzan and Planet of the Apes...
Planet of the Apes posits that chimpanzees and the other non-human great apes might one day develop into their own society of urban dwelling intellectuals while humans revert to a feral state. Tarzan posits that a human removed from civilization would have to be feral and have to survive by wits as well as brawn, but the result would be something more than animal but different than "A Man."
So how do we get Tarzan and the Apes together to settle the matter?
The jumping off point is the moment in the classic apes series when Charlton Heston's character blows up the earth with a leftover doomsday weapon that was hidden Beneath the Planet of the Apes. That was Heston the actor using his clout in an attempt to ensure that there wouldn't be any more of these silly movies. But the studio wanted more so they did the time warp and we got Escape from the Planet of the Apes. I will let the movie's original trailer speak for itself:
In our comic, instead of time traveling back to 1970's America, two talking chimpanzees from the first movie, Cornelius and Zira, crash land their spaceship in Nineteenth Century Africa...arriving just in time to raise a human foundling child, Tarzan, as an adoptive brother to their own child Caesar.
While they're in nurture mode, the chimpanzees from the future go about spreading their knowledge to the native apes: how to speak English, how to build really awesome tree forts. But the ascending apes soon come into conflict with colonialist invaders who want to capture them to use as slave labor. So we get some really awesome action scenes of Tarzan and Caesar fighting off great white hunters and slavers.
To embed Caesar and Tarzan in this war reveals parallels between the Tarzan narrative and the Planet narrative that go deeper than "they both have apes". Both deal with the nature of "savagery" and "civilization," and how little distance actually lies between the two. Our dual protagonists, Caesar and Tarzan, are both amalgams of savagery and civility. Their foes meanwhile, the human invaders, commit savage atrocities in the name of spreading "Civilization" to the wilderness.
Then things get really bizarre: the book embraces two of the strangest ideas of their respective franchises, the time travel of the Planet of the Apes movies and the Hollow Earth of Edgar Rice Burroughs's pulp novels. Any continuing ruminations and capacities for savagery or nobility in apes and humans are continually eclipsed by ever more outlandish sci-fi pulp action set pieces.
We find the apes' time-traveling ship has ripped holes in the space-time continuum, allowing strange creatures to escape from Hollow Earth. So now we get to see Tarzan and Caesar fight DINOSAURS. A battle that is the first for the Apes series but actually not unheard of in Tarzan's adventures.
By the end, the whole thing is a big pulpy mess...like a juice bar run by a dozen chimps. But on the one hand, that does sound kind of fun; there are times this book is definitely a fun read. And I can't say with a straight face that the creators should have shown narrative restraint in such an august project as Tarzan on The Planet of the Apes. The creative team can be accused of excess but never of negligence. Even though the ever escalating action is narratively and thematically jumbled, the artwork is well-crafted and the action scenes strike a balance between a lot happening and keeping track of the action and characters.
The writers, while stronger in the earlier chapters of the series, do try valiantly to weave all this chaos back into the theme of "civilization vs. savagery." But I think they had too many rings running in the circus to coherently make the point.
If you can appreciate the fun of trying to team these two series up, and you consider yourself a fan of the jungle pop genre or a completist for either franchise, then this might be worth a look. Tarzan fans can tell you about the times Tarzan fought Nazis; Apes fans can tell you about the time the Apes were defeated by a hip hop star from Boston. These are fan bases that are used to the bizarre. But even for them, I can promise that this series will stand out as something unique.
I can also promise that this isn't the worst Planet of the Apes cash-in imaginable.

This is the thirteenth summer for Lithuania Christian Camp. The evidence of the power of this ministry was all around us during June 27-July 2 as most of the Lithuanian counselors had first been campers in years past. As we listened to the current campers speak on Saturday night of how meaningful the camp was to them in bringing God into their lives, it is not difficult to imagine some of them becoming Christians and Christian counselors in the future.
Of course the camp ministry is an extension of the work of the Vilnius Church of Christ (for many more photos go to their facebook page here). Your continued support, prayers for this body and for the camp ministry is always appreciated.
Here are some photos and a wonderful video put together by those in the Vilnius church:

photographic flattery .....
19 comments:
When I read that you were thinking of making a book of rusted metal I immediately thought of a wondrous book I encountered in a V&A museum exhibition on artists' books entitled Blood on Paper. (http://www.vam.ac.uk/users/node/2530) It was a book of lead pages: The secret life of plants. As your luck would have it it is in the National Gallery of Australia: http://artsearch.nga.gov.au/Detail.cfm?IRN=127617ReplyDelete
I love Kiefer's books, and more images can be seen here:
It looks from your photographs that your early book may not in itself be complete in your eyes, but one of those glorious works which prove to be springboards to future pieces. Life's creative spiral at work again.Replies
Hello Olga and thank you so much for your comments and suggestions. Though I am only responding now, I in fact scurried right away to look at your references. Many thanks. I am a huge Anselm Keifer fan and simply adore his huge books. wouldn't you love some of those scattered around the garden!Delete
It was interesting to me to see the photographs of this first book of mine and then think of them in the light of work I have fancied doing. Certainly I think when you experience a work like I did with the Richard Serra piece at the Guggenheim, and it reflects the way you think and see yourself it resounds more loudly within.
SB - sometimes it is about the fragments - beautiful rediscovered fragments - old art becomes new art. BReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Barry. I must say I do enjoy that continuity of thought one can trace from old work through to new.Delete
It does look gorgeous, rich and inspiring! I can't imagine it looking anything less but I'll take your word for it. I'm glad you decided to photograph it.ReplyDeleteReplies
thanks Ersi - though I am not that keen on the book, I do think light and photography enhance it and show other possibilities. I may take some photos with my 'good' camera, and see if they are worth printing. xDelete
You're definitely channeling Richard Serra. Most of my photos look better than the original works as well. Have you considered a photo book with photos of that book?ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Connie. I am certainly considering some prints from the photographs even if I don't make a book of it. It is wonderful to see how one can find and latch onto works that have been in your conscious for years and years ...... I found such an internal thrill exploring Richard Serra's work, and I am sure it is much to do with the fact that he has realised in perfection, something you have thought of or seen in your minds eye and not yet played with.Delete
I love the photos, sometimes the thing itself is not as satisfying as the contribution it makes to another idea/medium. Maybe this was destined to be the source of some really lovely photos!ReplyDeleteReplies
I love this concept - that the original work may transpire into or inspire a similar work in a different medium. Certainly the book looks more interesting photographically!Delete
They are rather Serra like - for the little people. Wonderful light play in the photographs.ReplyDeleteReplies
love that Valerie - for the little people! Yes, although I would love to make something on a larger scale, it will certainly still be something for the little people and nothing of the scale of Serra's work ....Delete
Bilbao's Guggenheim images in your last post and these book pages look like first cousins to me. It's wonderful to travel to the headwaters of your creative book making efforts and see whence they all spring from.ReplyDeleteReplies
I was also struck by the similarities between the Guggenheim & this book. Your book is undoubtedly photogenic at the very least!Delete
Thanks Leslie and Lisa. For some reason my computer won't let me comment separately. I is fun to look back where you started so many years ago. I still have great love for those forms and rust ...... I would dearly have loved to have a large spotlight with me in the Guggenheim - and my better camera! Imagine focussing light through those glorious rusted, enormous pages or slices of wonder.Delete
Not sure that made sense - it did in my head!
Beautiful photographs Susan! What beautiful colours, light, shadows and lines. I love rediscovering things I made in the past... and where I can bringing new life to it. This in just beautiful!ReplyDelete
If this was your first book you may be very proud of it. The pages are lovely and the photographs are stunning.ReplyDelete
I have returned to your lovely blog after a 2 week holiday. What a pleasure it is to be back. Your posts are always a joy and an inspiration. Thank you.ReplyDelete
Beautiful images, Susan.ReplyDelete

1. Today Abby mentioned someone living in the Fawn Ridge neighborhood. Lauren thought she said Clown Stage. I don't know why that strikes me so funny.
2. Abby amps up the naughty during the holiday season. Any special event really. Grrrrrrr. It makes this time of year that much less sweet.
3. I finally decide to suck it up and get my flu shot in the wake of recent reports about this season's flu being particularly bad and this season's shot being spot on; low and behold.... Target is out. Grrrrrrrr again.
4. When the temperature started to drop today I wanted to jump in the air and kick my heels. I can't actually do that, but it my head it was a perfect ten.
5. Rudolph is on tonight. You have no idea how excited I am for one of my favorite nights of the year!!!
6. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be married to Jimmy Fallon. I'm not wishing, or even day dreaming. But the guy is well-versed in the talent department.... I wonder if he's as fun at home as he is on TV.
7. Absolute favorite job, hands down is the one I'm currently in. Love the kids. LOVE the staff.... how am I ever going to find another job I enjoy going to half as much as this one. Boston, you have big shoes to fill!
8. Did I mention we're moving to Boston?! Oh so bittersweet.
9. It's funny how the thought of doing laundry can be such a weight on your shoulders. And then you don't have access to your washing machine for a few days and it's return makes you want to jump in the air and do that heel kick thing again.
10. I didn't realize how much I missed Lizzie until a dog came up to me yesterday for some attention. And then Lauren picked out a story about a puppy nuzzling its owner for attention. I sure do miss that Lizzie Girl.
Life with these two is never dull. This blog is dedicated to the stories that make life with my lovelies, Abby & Lauren, a thrill to live.

This is my first ever blog post. Isn't it exciting? I plan to blog about the Prym knitting mill Maxi I recently received. It is a wonderfully simple (if ocassionally temperamental) machine, but with a bit of imagination and a habit of making stuff up as you go along (which is easily acquired) I think great things can come from it.
The first thing to note is that it really likes arcrylic wool, which is handy because arcrylic is my favourite, too. It's versatile, doesn't scratch and can be given to anyone regardless of fiber allergies/preferences. It is also cheap, abundant regardless of the quality/range knitting shop you're in, and can be washed with relative ease and less fear of shrinkage than other wools. Although – disclaimer here – you can ruin it in other ways, which I'll have a little rant about later.
Secondly, guage is not adjustable as far as I can tell, it knits a big guage regardless of the weight of the wool and regardless of how tight you keep the wool feeding into it. But the size of the things that come out of it can be adjusted by the type of fiber you put in. 100% wool does not stretch as much as arcylic, I have yet to try 100% cotton but I imagine this would be the case, too, as I knitted a baby hat in a cotton/wool/arcrylic blend DK and it came out big enough for a 6month old. However, arcrylic stretches prodigiously, especially certain kinds, Patons DK stretches to fit anyone and so with the number of stitches used for the baby hat and a little added length, the guage stretches to fit my adult head very comfortably.
Finally, for now, the machine is very quick when you get the hang of it – but it takes some getting used to. At first, particularly with panels, I wondered if I wasn't better off just knitting by hand (where my decade's history in knitting lies), but with a little perseverance and ten frogging sessions I made a very successful and comfortable tube beanie. Then things took off, my projects got faster and neater and within a fortnight I was making christmas knits faster than I could ever have hoped by hand. As the machine doesn't do binding on/off the edges are live, which allows for my colourwork or lace cravings to be quickly and easily met on a project that would otherwise have taken weeks of stockinette.
I'm off, for now, but I will be back to blog some more, so have a nice day and happy knitting!

From RAF Benson to RAF Wyton, the RAF Benevolent Fund has spent almost £50,000 in its second year of support for station families' days.
The annual events are a much-loved date on the calendar when serving personnel are given the opportunity to share their working life with their loved ones. Families are able to relax and recuperate within their own community, without the pressure of operations, which is particularly important on stations where personnel are deployed short notice.
The RAF Benevolent Fund made grants to 34 stations, awarding a total of £47,000 to support the events. As well as grants, volunteers and representatives from the Fund's regional teams went along to join in the fun often joined by Ben Elephant and the Fund's spectacular Aston Martin Red 10 — which you could win!
Paul Hughesdon, Director of Welfare and Policy, said: "Supporting families' days is just one way the Fund helps the RAF Family on stations. It is the perfect time for families to enjoy spending time together with friends and colleagues, allowing them time to unwind after the pressure of operations and deployments.
"The Fund also offers a range of welfare services to serving families, including funding CAB outreach, Airplay youth services and Relate counselling to name just a few."
Last year the RAF Benevolent Fund spent £3million supporting the serving RAF family.

|Mother Bird yells at Stellaluna for not being a good bird.
Right after I got my official diagnosis, I "accidentally" left a copy of the paperwork, along with an article about autism and executive functioning that came with it, out on the table.To my surprise, my mom took the bait and read it. It seemed to make a big difference, as it took away all of her doubt that I do, indeed, have autism.
So the other day in the car, I don't exactly remember why, but I started a conversation about it. I was interested in seeing what my parents, and others, thought of me when I was a young child. (My Auntie Em mentioned that she knew something was a little off about me the first time she met me, which was when I was about a year and a half old. She had brought my cousin BT, who was a year older than me, to play. She noticed that I didn't really acknowledge him a whole lot... and that I was "in a capsule." So I wondered who else had noticed something about me!)
Here's how it went, as best as I can remember.
Me: "Was I different from other babies? Did I cry a lot?"
Mom: "For a long time you were very sick and just wouldn't get better. You had ear infections, and then you had a horrible rash that wouldn't go away. So you cried a lot, but it was because you were always sick."
Me: "But was I different from Bro?"
Mom: "You and Bro were total opposites. You just had completely different personalities. Bro is a lot like me, and you are so much like your dad."
Me: "How was I like Dad?"
Mom: "You were so quiet and serious. Most babies smile and laugh and coo. You would not. You would just sit there. Nona called you Sobersides. Sometimes we could get you to smile a little half smile."
Me: "Bopop said that Uncle Drew and Aunt Bea would go crazy trying to make me laugh, and I'd just watch them, and once in a while I would just sort of chuckle. But nobody thought that was a little weird?"
Mom: "We just thought you were so much like your dad."
Me: "I learned to talk really early, right? And I learned to read early?"
Mom: "Yes you did."
Me: "Was there anything about me when I was a little kid that made you think I was different?"
Mom: "Not really. You made eye contact, you played with other kids, and everything like that. You did used to have really bad tantrums, you'd cover your ears and scream. That was a little weird... But it didn't really start becoming obvious until you were eight or nine. But back then we had never heard of autism. We didn't know what autism was. And even if we did know what it was, there would have been no services, nothing to help us. There was nothing. In some ways I think you were lucky, because you were never labeled while you were growing up."
Me: "But I got in trouble a lot. I got yelled at a lot."
Mom: "Yes, there is that.And I think the reason it started becoming more obvious was because you had some really crappy teachers who picked on you right along with the kids. I remember sitting in meetings with those teachers, and thinking, 'Don't think you know more about my kid than I do. Don't talk that way about my kid.`"
Me: "Then why didn't you switch me to another school?"
Mom: "Because we didn't have the money to do that."
And then we got home, and the conversation ended there.
It was the best conversation about autism that I've ever had with my mom. It felt good for her to actually validate that it is something real, that it isn't something I just made up for myself because I thought it would make a good story.
I sort of feel sad for the little kid who was me, because I never did get any of the help that autistic kids can get today... I'm not talking about "act like your normal" help, but things like OT and just help processing the fact that I was different, and advocating for myself.
A book that reminds me of growing up undiagnosed is Stellaluna. It is a children's book about a baby bat who falls out of her mother's grip while flying, and falls down into a nest full of baby birds. The mother bird starts to raise the bat as one of her own, but she scolds Stellaluna for doing what she considers to be very strange and even naughty things, such as hanging upside down. She says that if Stellaluna wants to stay in the family, she needs to act like the other birds, and stop teaching the other birds how to do bad things. It isn't until she finds her mother that she realizes she doesn't do these things because she's a bad bird... she does them because she's a bat!
If I had grown up knowing that I was not a bird at all, but a bat... if I had gotten to meet other bats, and been taught how to use my bat abilities to their best... would my life have been different? I guess I will never know!

it's pretty cool how absence really does make the heart fonder.
i lost my canon eos 550d about a month ago on a school trip to new york. i left it in the hotel lobby and, 10 minutes later, realised it was not in my hands and frantically ran back. of course, new york being new york, my camera was gone, and all my 20 gb's worth of footage gone with it.
i've been without a camera for exactly 48 days now, and with a broken camera on my ipod touch and a rubbish camera on my sony xperia, i haven't taken any photographs at all during these 48 days.
and i miss taking photographs.
prior to that new york trip i kept telling myself that i should update this blog because the lack of posts make it look really sad, but i couldn't get myself to physically step outside the house to take photographs because a) i am a lazy bum and b) it's not very pretty, where i live.
now i have no way to take photographs, and i feel weirdly isolated from the things that happen around me. it's beginning to physically hurt when i see beautiful things and i'm not able to take photos of it. recently, there have been beautiful sunsets (which is a real rarity here), and i instinctively reach for my camera but grasp air because i don't have a camera anymore. i saw a man walk by me yesterday wearing a red plaid polo shirt with blue-and-white striped pyjama pants and i wanted to take a photograph of him but i couldn't, because i don't have a camera anymore.
doesn't it suck, how you only miss things when they're gone?

2017 GMC Acadia: Video Review and Road Test
by Zach Vlasuk | March 17, 2017 11:00 AM
The 2017 GMC Acadia is all-new and rides on a shorter wheelbase than its predecessor. It still offers 3-row versatility in its more compact footprint, but GMC has decided to take a different tack than the larger Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave, which shared the same platform as the previous generation Acadia. In this Video Review and Road Test, Zach Vlasuk explores the capabilities of 2017 Acadia and finds that it has much to consider when shopping for a midsize crossover.

Do you remember my post "nigeria @ .50 (not 50) celebrating a new nigeria!celebrating hope"??
In that post, I highlighted a few reasons worth celebrating the country's 50th anniversary and few days back I FOUND ANOTHER GOOD REASON to keep celebrating..
Many months ago, I came across the facebook profile of Tinuade Adewole
and from her pictures I understood she was the winner of a beauty contest in 2009, a contest that had to do with helping the less priviledged children across Nigeria. At that time, I thought the whole contest was a good idea but did not bother to look into it any further.
I guess I should have because it came back to me recently as my friend brought it to my notice, told me more about the contest and I am so excited that I'd love to share with you all. Maybe thats one of the blessings about starting a blog like this (you get to find out about many great things people around you are involved in, they get to inspire you and its fulfilling making others aware )
Women Trafficking and Child Labour Eradication Foundation
) vanguard oyo state at that time wanted to draw people's attention to the monster of child abuse and women trafficking and he needed a spokesperson who would get the attention of so many. He thought about the fact that beauty queens have been known for years to campaign about world causes hence, he decided a beauty pageant was the way to create awareness for his own cause.
and he came up with
In 2010, he will be involving the young men of today as he introduces Mr Ideal Nigeria. (and I am in support..read more to find out why)
Dangel eyez had an interview with Mr Ayotunde and I bring you the juicy part of this whole post
dangel eyez:
hiiii, how are you? my friend chris just told me about the competition-Miss Omolewa Nigeria 2010 and Mr Ideal Nigeria 2010.
I think its a great thing you're putting together, helping children and giving to the society. I would love to know more about the competition.
Thanks Dami , i am really glad you doing this and of course i will tell you about it. At the Miss Omolewa we believe that for a greater Nigeria, its essential for the Nigerian child to know that it is important to grow in life and help make a difference in the world and NO ONE IS TOO YOUNG TO TOUCH LIVES.
dangel eyez:
How or why did you come up with the name "Omolewa"?
My target market was the soutwest states , and this is predominantly yoruba states , so i went with a name 'omolewa'. In Yoruba, it means 'child is beauty'.
dangel eyez: What is Miss omolewa?
The Miss Omolewa started in 2009. I was the president of WOTCLEF Vanguard, Oyo state. I wanted to draw people's attention to the monster of child abuse and women trafficking and I needed a spokesperson who would draw more attention. Beauty queens have been known for years to campaign about world causes hence, I decided a beauty pageant was the way to go and that way I can get children involved, like a 'children for children' idea.The average age of women trafficked in Nigeria is 14 - 17 hence, the age range for the contestants. The Miss Omolewa pageant creates campaigns that promotes causes affecting the Nigerian child and every year the winner of the Miss Omolewa works with a charity.
dangel eyez:
What is Mr ideal Nigeria is about?
Mr Ideal Nigeria 2010 is the first.
The Mr Ideal Nigeria is the ambassador for the 'business Key'. This is to encourage the young Nigerian men that coming up with their own business idea is a way to alleviate poverty in our society. Guys between the ages of 17 - 25 are allowed to apply to the contest and the final five to compete are chosen after a preliminary interview.
dangel eyez:
How is the winner selected?
The Omolewas will go through three rounds of competition; traditional wear , occasional wear , interviews. the Top five will be chosen and they will go on to the final round which involves asking the contestants a question. This is to ensure we have a Miss Omolewa that is a combination of brains and looks.
The Mr Ideal Nigeria contestants go through four rounds of competition; physical fitness, Talent hunt , corporate wear and the question round. The winner will also be a combination of brains and looks.
dangel eyez:
Who is Miss Omolewa?
Miss Omolewa has to be an ideal teenager , who is charismatic , elegant , smart , beautiful and delectable.
dangel eyez:
Who is Mr Ideal Nigeria?
The Mr Ideal has to be ambitious, charismatic, handsome, physically fit and fun to be around.
dangel eyez:
Where and when will it take place?
The Show will take place on the 23rd of October in Fonts hall, Akure. Dresscode: a touch of white and read.
dangel eyez:
What did the last winner do in her tenure?
she was the spokesperson of Child labour eradication in Oyo state working with the women trafficking and child labour eradication foundation and she also worked with the love of a child foundation helping kids with HIV AIDS.
during the final question stage at the Miss Omolewa 2009 in Ibadan , Tinuade Adewole, representative of Oyo state was asked 'how will you execute your beauty as Miss Omolewa?' and she said 'everyone stops for a beautiful girl with a great smile. I will use that to draw their attention to the effect child abuse has on our country'. 15year old Tinuade went on to become Miss Omolewa Nigeria 2009.
dangel eyez:
What are we expecting from Miss Omolewa Nigeria 2010?
The Miss Omolewa Nigeria 2010 will work with lifting our community to raise money for the education of children in Nigeria during her reign and also the love of a child foundation to give charity to motherless kids and orphans in rural and sub-urban parts of Nigeria. she will also be hosting a fund-raising show in Akure on the 27th of May 2011 and this will showcase talent display by kids from all over the country(dont we just love the word talent on dangel eyez!! ;) ). in the year 2011 , the Miss Omolewa Nigeria 2010 will represent Ondo at the Miss Independence pageant in Lagos, cover model of Berries magazine, interview with Vibes Magazine and sam undyee of 94.6Fm and loads more.
dangel eyez:
What are we expecting from Mr Ideal Nigeria 2010?
The winner of Mr Ideal Nigeria 2010 will work alongside fashion Icon Adebayo OKe-Lawal to create awareness about the Business Key initiative. Adebayo Oke-Lawal is a perfect example of a youngster who came up with his own business ideas and is named one of the top fashion gurus to look out for. The Mr Ideal is Managed by Chris Onanuga.The winner will represent Ondo at the Mr Independence pageant in December, Duke of World (dukeofworld.com) in may, cover model madtainment Magazine, feature in Onyeka Nwelue's New movie abyssinian boy and loads more.
For those of you that follow my posts, I had featured both adebayo Oke-lawal and Onyeka Nwelue here on dangel eyez.
so I agree with Ayotunde, Adebayo is a rising young fashion icon. He is a great stylist and I personally love the way he mixes colors. He is also one of the gentlemen of onyx&pearl clothing. Some of their clothings you can see below:
Onyeka Nwelue is a young author. He is the writer of "The Abyssinian Boy" which sold 15000 copies within the 6 months of its release becoming a National Bestseller, The Abyssinian Boy will be made into a film by Lasse Lau of Kran Film Collective, Belgium.
The Miss Omolewa Nigeria is chaired by Ayotunde Twitch , the Miss Omolewa pageant is managed by Bola Sanni and the Mr Ideal Nigeria managed by Chris Onanuga who I have worked with. He is fun to work with, passionate about helping others, puts his heart into whatever work he has to do and I'm sure he is going to make a good manager.
I know this post might be long but it is worth reading
dangel eyez officially endorses these two competitions and I hope that most of you will support this competition in anyway you can.
click to view the facebook profile of Ayotunde
This is my own way of supporting,
October 23,
a touch of red and white,
be there!!!
much luv,
dangel eyez

The Nordisk Film & TV Fond has announced its production support funding for April, with Battle, the first Scandinavian dance movie, top of the list.
Battle, which received 1.7 million NOK, tells the story of Amalie, who is forced to move to a tough neighbourhood, but she desperately tries to hold onto her former privileged life. Torn between two worlds, she needs to learn who she is in order to become a true dancer. The movie is a youth film, and aims to deal with such topics as identity, social differences, ambition, and prejudice. Battle will be directed by Katarina Launing and based on a script by Maja Lunde. Norway's Pål Røed (pictured) of Friland Film are producing, with co-productions with Sweden and Denmark. The budget is NOK 27 million, with principal photography starting in July and an autumn 2018 release.
Several other projects have received funding from the Nordisk Film & TV Fond. Blind Donna, a Finnish romantic comedy, received 1 million NOK.

2015 Carrier Study Results (2)
You will find here info to help you in making transportation arrangements for canine and cats with the airways. Pet journey carriers can supply distraction prevention, which is vital to prevent accidents. Pets are NOT accepted on interline bookings (single itinerary containing each JetBlue and partnership airline segments), regardless of reserving supply i.e. , travel company, companion airline's web site, and so on. Hawaiian Airlines expenses by kennel for every path traveled, so a round-trip journey means you may pay a one-manner pet check-in fee twice. Depending on the length of your flight, your pet might not have the ability to 'hold it' till they get out of the carrier. This will make sure that, if your pet cannot be accommodated on the flight(s) and date(s) you selected, your ticket can be refunded without cost. It is, nonetheless, and as JetBlue itself factors out, a small pet provider" (emphasis in the original).
I began out pooh-poohing the carrier that Southwest sells , however they modified its design some time again, and a reader sent me an awesome mod that I'll soon put up , and now I'm way more optimistic about it. It measures 18.5″ L x 13.5″ w x 8.5″ h — but it surely has a high gusset that expands so as to add 2″ to its height, bringing it up to a decent 10.5 inches.
There are pet purse carriers product of nylon or leather they usually sometimes have the floor bolstered for the security of the pet. Your pet must stay within the provider always throughout the test-in lobby and gate terminal; be harmless, inoffensive, odor-much less and require no attention throughout transit. Made for small pets, this IATA permitted pet service has all the things you need for a safe and comfy flight with your pet. Amazon reviewers gave this provider a four.6 star ranking, out of a doable 5 stars.
Pet transportation is our only enterprise and our solely focus; you and your pet will receive a hundred% of our time, permitting you to unencumber your time to deal with the logistics of your move. The SturdiBag Pet Carrier isn't marketed to be an airline bag, but it's authorised on most airlines. It has zippered openings on one finish, one facet, and the top; there are a decent number of mesh ventilation panels; and one in all them is positioned on the service's prime, so you may see your pet while she's at your toes (as she might be during most of your travels). You might want to measure your pet from tip of nose to base of tail (A) and from the highest of the top to the bottom (B) when your pet is standing erect. Carriers that are not structurally sound or have inadequate connection energy can directly affect the protection of the pet and place human automobile occupants susceptible to harm ought to an accident occur.
This implies that from the very moment your pet is collected you possibly can feel assured that they are within the most secure of arms. Test Results: The Jet Set Forma Frame provider connections failed and launched the product from the check bench. On Boeing 777-300ER and 777-200LR plane , the pet service cannot be greater than 21 cm (eight.25 in) in height, 38 cm (15 in) in width and 43 cm (17 in) in length. The pet should remain inside its service while on the airport and within the plane for your complete flight, and beneath the seat in front of you throughout taxi, takeoff, and touchdown. Both Sleepypod Mobile Pet Beds efficiently met Center for Pet Safety's criteria for a successful product performance. When your pet is standing on all fours, measure them from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail (not the tip).

Man, it's been too long since the last Mailbag. With so much going on in football, men's basketball and baseball at the same time, I thought this would be a good time to drop one, so I have a few questions and let's get right to them.
- Two from @MSStBaseballFan: When will people be able to set up their stuff in the outfield? Will will the nickname be for the right field corner?
MSU hasn't released anything about a stadium opening for outfield lounge customization, but my God it makes all the sense in the world to let people in before the first home series and do some of that, doesn't it? You already know that entire week (MSU plays a Tuesday/Wednesday stint before the weekend series) is going to be a complete (bleep)show with everyone there for reasons other than the game: foot traffic is going to be awful in quantity and quality, people are going to be out of sorts and constantly asking questions to poor employees that probably won't be able to answer them, the whole nine. Consider this my petition to MSU: Release certain blocks of time for stadium opening to let people do some lounge customization before that first home game on whatever Match Tuesday that is. I know better than to think everyone will have everything set up before game day, but let's try to cut this down some.
That brick plaza already has a name: just that, the right field plaza. Fans may give it a nickname based on a big play that happens in that area in the coming years or something entirely fan related, but that area also strikes me as a great place to honor a future championship team or a former legend. Maybe a couple of decades passes and MSU can name it the Brent Rooker Right Field Plaza; maybe Cannizaro and MSU break through for a national title sometime in the early 2020s and they can dedicate the plaza to the members of that team. I'm in favor of all of it.
- Shoutout to celebrated Mailbag member @10RobertWilliam with two questions: Are men's basketball officials the worst/most incompetent of all levels of all sports?
(Let is be known this answer was written before the whole sequence with Lamar Peters at Missouri. Timing is a cruel mistress that waits for no man.)
I have a feeling Geno Auriemma, Vic Schaefer, Dawn Staley and others would like to chime in on this subject off-the-record.
Joking aside, it used to be pretty easy to tell that the officials in the women's game are worse than that of the men's game; I don't watch enough of the women's game to know for certain, MSU fans would probably know better than I do. I will say this though: as data in baseball has gotten more and more extensive, not only are we finding out MLB home plate umpires have significant flaws, but that a lot of their flaws are predictable and might be gamed by savvy players.
I won't beat around the question, men's college basketball referees could be better, but they're not the worst for this reason and this reason alone: they know every rule. You can't say that about all other levels of all sports, because there is one place where one crucial rule is known by no one: how to catch a football in the NFL. NFL refs are the worst because no one knows what a catch is, the refs included.
- And second from @10RobertWilliam: How common is it for coaches of several different sports to attend games of others (and give pregame pep talks), a la Andy Cannizaro with the women's basketball team against South Carolina?
In general, coaches will use whatever resource they have within their grasp: MSU is lucky to have dynamic, engaging people in pretty much every head coaching role. Cannizaro, Vic Schaefer and Joe Moorhead being the most prominent examples of MSU head coaches who also have a knack for engaging crowds of people of many sizes, communicating a message effectively and doing so improv style if need be. Frankly, I'd be curious to pick the brain of people who wouldn't use such resources.
As for coaches attending games, most at the schools do it (even if not nearly as frequently as, say, Cannizaro, who might as well be a basketball season ticket holder) for this reason: they may coach different sports, but they all teach the same things. Most coaches in all sports want programs that thrive on common factors such as mental toughness, discipline, effort and all those other buzz words. All of those things apply to football and baseball just as well as they apply to golf and volleyball, and they know that. They'll look for examples wherever they can get them; if you can get them on campus, that's just going to resonate with their players even better.
- My man @CalebGarnerMSU -- What do you make of all the Tide Pods shenanigans?
Natural selection at work.
If you're willing to eat Tide Pods, that's just like the dog who parks it next to the grandmother at the Thanksgiving table: nature has identified the weak link and it is pouncing. That dog has identified whoever is most likely to succumb to his charms and, in the Tide Pod scenario, the universe has identified who is most likely to succumb to crippling -- honest question, is it possibly lethal? -- stupidity.
And for those of you that actually at the Tide Pods and might be insulted: let's be real, there are no words I can write that will be nearly as insulting as the taste of those Tide Pods were to your taste buds. You clearly got through that, so you'll get through this easier.
- Willy @WLister83 -- Would you eat the moon if it were made of bleu cheese?
I wouldn't eat a dime if it were made of bleu cheese.
Bleu cheese is awful, you guys. I will never understand the desire to have bleu cheese when ranch is so much better and works equally well with everything you might reasonably put bleu cheese on.
Anybody know where I can get a moon made of a ribeye?

2008/9/1 Report No:08-10
Many countries are currently increasing the advanced funding of their public pension systems to improve their sustainability in the face of rapidly aging populations. When pensions are funded, the issue of asset allocation becomes of paramount importance. Through compound interest, the rate of growth for pension fund assets will have enormous implications for the level of pension contributions that will be needed to fund a desired level of benefits. Standard portfolio selection theory provides a fundamental justification for international diversification: by widening the pool of potential assets, investors can potentially increase returns while possibly even reducing risks through the selection of complementary assets with low correlations. Nonetheless, many emerging market countries have regulations that strictly limit the choice of investments for pension funds, in some cases excluding international assets entirely. This paper seeks to determine what economic theory suggests is the optimal asset allocation for public pension systems in emerging market countries, and in particular, what role international assets play in the optimal portfolios. We find that on average, about half of the portfolios of emerging market countries should be in world assets. The paper then quantifies the costs of prohibiting international diversification.

Lisanby Scholar Series: Joshua Ballinger
SUMMARY: Music education major Joshua Ballinger is one of eight freshman arts students to have received a Lisanby Scholarship.
By Jen Kulju (M'04)
Growing up in Leesburg, Virginia, Joshua Ballinger started playing piano in the first grade. In the sixth grade, he picked up a bassoon and something "was different." "I was really excited about bassoon," recalls Ballinger, now a freshman music education major at JMU whose instrument is the bassoon. Ballinger also plays the baritone as a member of the Marching Royal Dukes and as a member of the Boston Crusaders Drum and Bugle Corps.
"A long-term dream of mine was to earn a position with a world-class drum corps, and I was able to work toward and achieve that goal partially because the Lisanby Scholarship allowed me to focus on what I wanted to do versus having to spend my time and energy financing my education," says a grateful Ballinger. Ballinger lives on East Campus, where he often sees the Lisanby Museum and is reminded of Mrs. [Gladys] Lisanby's generosity. "It's humbling to know that she is so invested in my success and cares so deeply about the arts at JMU."
