The Glorified Comb-over, A Repeat Appearance
When we first spotted the deep parts and matted-down tresses that hairstylist Guido Palau called "a bit grunge" and "kind of tomboyish" backstage at Alexander Wang last month, we were skeptical but intrigued nonetheless; the concept was novel enough and seemed to work thematically with Wang's early-nineties collection. But two countries and countless similarly inspired shows later, we're wondering if it really deserved a second go-around at Bottega Veneta this past weekend, where Palau sculpted a nearly identical look, albeit one that benefited from Pat McGrath's sultry black smoky eye, which added a certain sexed-up maturity that was lacking in New York. It calls to mind the transcontinental double take Palau caused last season, when he repeated the long, thick side-slung braids from Alexander Wang's Spring presentation at Miu Miu a few weeks later. When we put the issue to you commenters last October, the response was clear: no need to mess with a good thing. What do you say this time?

How can I get alone time as a (new) parent?
January 31, 2009
Fellow introverts, and others who need lots of alone time: How did you deal with becoming a parent?
We just had our first baby, which I am incredibly excited about. I'm also apprehensive, for many reasons, but one in particular: as a classic introvert I need a lot of alone time, and I gather that new babies (and children in general) are hell on that.
I don't feel like I get enough alone time as it is, partly through my own reluctance to ask for or demand it. (It feels "antisocial" or "selfish," or both.) It's been especially lacking the past nice months of the pregnancy when my wife couldn't do much and we ended up at home, together, a lot.
I'm thrilled to be a father. I want to share parenting duties as much as possible with my wife. Since we're both freelancers working from home, this will be easier, but it also seems like a recipe for no time to myself whatsoever for maybe years, and that's terrifying.
I don't want to be a remote parent, always looking for a way to escape from my family--either by literally going away (I travel a lot for work) or into the computer, books, etc at home. Yet I need serious amounts of solitude for my own sanity. How can I get it?

You wake up in the middle of the night when everyone else is sleeping and read AskMe. Seriously (it's 3 AM where I am).
Being with a little baby is a lot like being alone, in some ways. You don't need to make conversation. But once they start talking you're done for.
I don't know what to tell you, man, other than *please* *please* don't just check out and put the burden on your wife. Talk about it, and figure out a way, together, to get a little alone time. You're going to have to recalibrate your expectations. You'll probably feel cranky and jaggedy at times, but you suck it up and do what you need to do, trying to be cheerful all the while. This, for me, has been a harder adjustment than the sleep deprivation. Ultimately, recognize that you chose to have a family, and they need you present, engaged, pretty much all the time.
Oh, and just because you're both working from home doesn't mean you don't need childcare. You do. Get a babysitter so you can at least work uninterrupted.

Father of 9-month old son here. Firstly, let me say I understand *exactly* where you're coming from. Your fears were, and still are, my fears.
Your life will never be the same. Get used to it. Your partner is a grown-up and can look after yourself; your child, not so much. You will have demands being made on your time either by your child directly, or by your partner when she can no longer cope without your help. The fact that you're asking the question at all suggests you're concerned about these things, and that's obviously a great start.
I sometimes catch myself being 'absent' even when I'm looking after baby_in_oz by myself. I'm there, but only in body. The thing that motivates me to snap out of it is remembering that you get out what you put in. He's more fun to be around when he's getting input from me. And the sort of energy return I get from a beaming baby - whilst different to the energy return I would get from, say, pottering in the shed by myself - well, it's still energy, and it keeps you nourished.
One thing I have started to do, that works well for the missus as well, is take him out of the house for an hour or two at a time. A couple of weeks ago, he and I went and sat in the beer garden at a local microbrewery. This morning we went to a local cafe for an hour or two. Again, it's not-quite-solitude, but it has its own rewards.
The other thing we have started to do is plan our wekeends. mrs_in_oz wants time off from the kidlet. I want time by myself. We plan for both. It doesn't always work out, but them's the breaks.
The final thing I can offer is this. The only constant is change. The demands of a newborn are unique. It'll be like that for about 6 weeks. Then it will change. Then it will change again. And again. So, if you look at your situation now and despair, just remember that in a month or so it will be different. Now the boy is going to sleep at 7pm, suddenly I have evenings back.
Good luck.

Introverted Dad here, too. Being with people always wears me down, and for years I've taken copious amounts of alone time to recharge. But the kid is an exception. She's the one person that doesn't drain me. In fact, for 34 years pre-parenthood, I had never really experienced "missing" someone when I was away. But I miss her enormously.
She's 2 1/2 now, and since she was a newborn, the two of us go out and do something together at least once a week. In the baby phase, we might just sit at a park or in a coffee shop for a while. Now we go out and play or get ice cream cones. That is just as good for me as alone time--maybe because I'm under no pressure to interact in any particular way, or to make small talk.
Even so, alone time happens. Babies sleep a lot, and little kids go to bed early. I've got a few hours in the evening that are mine to do with as I please. I hadn't thought about it until you asked, but in retrospect I'm surprised that this hasn't been an issue at all for me. But it hasn't. Maybe you'll be similar.

Very introverted stay-at-home Mom here. What I found most difficult at first was being very literally connected almost all the time (breastfeeding, baby-wearing), and equating that with being on a very short leash. Not exactly resenting it, but it left me desperate for an out I didn't have. I guess one thing that changed was that after the initial couple of months of typical newborn craziness, I began to be able to reframe my time with Baby Cocoa as being "alone together." Like Dads above say, going someplace I like with the baby and being there alone together. Or wearing baby and doing what I want was my alone time.
Another thing that helped immensely was getting true "time off" when Mr. Cocoa would take the baby for an entire day. That didn't happen for a while because of breastfeeding, but we transitioned to times when I would meet them nearby and nurse a few times a day, or I could retreat to someplace in the house and shut the door and do my thing. Soooooooooo delicious after not having it. And knowing clearly when I was expected to be back "on" gave me the ability to let go a lot and just be alone when it was my time.
In some ways it does get harder. "Baby" Cocoa is now 3.5 and as
says, once they get a little older, alone time has to change yet again. I have a big talker and very social son, so our time together is no longer me nursing while I read a book--it's me fielding request after request after request, conversation after conversation, interruption after...well, you get it. On the plus side, this age comes with a lot of independence (at least with Toddler Cocoa) and so 30 minutes may go by where he's puttering with his trains or in his room and he doesn't want or need me around. He likes to come back to "us" and tell me what he's been up to. Also, I can be transparent with Toddler Cocoa in a way I'm not usually with other friends or family. I can say, "Wow, I'm getting a little cranky because I need some time alone. How about if I spend 15 minutes reading and you build your city and then you can show me?" He's been flexible enough to go for this, and in fact has been able to tell me "Mama, I need some alone time. Can you go away for a little while?" Fantastic!
So adapt again and make sure you have a good book or article torn out from a magazine in your pocket, or a place to put your feet up and look out the window and do nothing while you can. Oddly, the thing now that gets me is still feeling like I should be doing more rather than doing nothing. Like "now is when I should fold the laundry" instead of recharging. But recharging helps me be more present, and the laundry is a great activity to do together, so I try to let go of thinking I'm lazy or shirky.
's says about being present is really true and helpful--being more present makes me feel more solid, less eroded by time with the kid. As an example, lately I've changed my approach to "activities" together. It used to be that I'd try to say, make brownies together. This is something I enjoyed doing alone pre-parenthood. So with Toddler Cocoa I'd get all the stuff out, corral him, and try to get through what should be a 15 minute task to Get. Brownies. Made. Ugh, it was disaster. It just felt like he was in the way of the thing I wanted. I've since learned to step waaaaaaaay back and it's helped my ability to be present a lot. Making brownies now means breaking the steps down to things like, "Let's find the right size bowl. Where do we keep the bowls? Oh, you're right, there
metal bowls and plastic bowls. Ok, now we need two eggs. Can you get those?" Slowing down has meant a lot less frustration, less attachment to the final product, better time with Toddler Cocoa, and more fun for us both. We might end up with brownies, or with batter, or with a pile of stuff we can come back to later to make brownies, but I rarely have the experience anymore of him getting in between me and something I used to take pleasure in doing alone.

Ah, introverts and the web. Here we all are. New parents need to remember that this child is not going to be your constant companion for any more than about 5 years. Because in the brilliance of our system, they go to school when they're 5 at the latest. Gone for hours and hours every day. That's still several years, but this is not a life sentence. Once they hit about the age of 10 they don't want anything to do with you anyway. They then leave for college. It will fly by so fast you won't know what hit you. (Trite, but true).
Anyway, if by "solitude" you mean "utter silence on a schedule made by me" then you have a little more of an uphill climb. Children tend to fill a space disproportionate to their actual size and to understand "leave daddy alone" as meaning "leave daddy alone until you need him to put in a new game cartridge or reach a high shelf or go to the store for pencils". If your income can stand it, I would suggest renting a small storefront so you can get out of the house, by yourself, to work. You can share this boon with your wife, who frankly is going to need it more than you.

I'm an introvert as well- with three kids. Everyone has given you excellent advice and insight, so I'm here to underscore the point made earlier that you should GET A BABYSITTER even if you are both working from home- even if it's just two mornings a week.
And- one thing that has helped me immensely is to wake up an hour or so earlier than the brood and get out for a run, do some yoga, or read the paper.

Jesus. I was about to ask this exact question. It makes me feel less alone knowing I'm not alone in trying to be alone. Dumb but true.
Our daughter is six months old. I love her but your apprehension is warranted.
nails my dilemma, in that I am trying to come to terms with how to satisfy my own emotional needs without just checking out and dumping on my wife. My recent attitude has been sort of a survivalist mentality, and FWIW, that hasn't been very rewarding. Had me a little breakdown yesterday. ;_;
Regarding freelancing from home — I agree with others in that it is very difficult to have a baby in the house without eroding what were previously implicit personal time and space boundaries. If you're anything like me, you can't concentrate effectively on tasks while being constantly interrupted and just depending on your family dynamic it may be very emotionally costly to enforce those boundaries even if you're "at work" while at home. Dunno where you live, but in major urban areas you might be able to find some affordable modular office space outside of the house (google "flex office space" etc., I think that's the term of art for it) that may be worth checking out.
Hang in there, man.

OK, this is what we did. Mr. Squirrel and I are both introverts who need a lot of alone time. And Mr. Squirrel is also one of those people - more than me - who gets absorbed in something and just doesn't realize what's happening around him. After the 3rd or 4th time he wandered out to the garage to putter and left me with all child-care duties for the entire day, I decided we needed a schedule, or I would lose my mind.
We basically split the week into shifts, day/evening, and different days depending on our work schedules. I had the entire day Saturday, and he had the entire day Sunday.
So whoever's shift it was, was responsible for the baby. The other could come and go at will, although to be honest, most of the time we stayed home, because hey - we were a new family and we wanted to be together a lot. But I could also plan an evening with a friend or even just to go out grocery shopping without having to check in with him, as long as I planned it for my off-shift. And he could do the same.
By having a schedule that we both agreed with and followed, we each were able to devote our full attention to our daughter, because even if we felt a little trapped at times, we knew we would soon enough have several hours of our own time to recharge. And neither one of us resented that the other was doing less child care then the other because except for the first year when I was breastfeeding, we each were doing our share.
The great thing that came out of this arrangement (that lasted for about 5 years) was the wonderfully close relationship my husband and daughter share, because he was so involved with her from the start.

Introverted mom here, who was also a single parent who freelanced from home with my kid until about two years ago. (She's six now.)
I hate to say it, but here's what you have to accept about being a parent: your need for alone time no longer matters nearly as much as it did before you were a parent. For me, my idea of alone time had to change entirely--there was literally no one else to watch my daughter, so it was me or...me.
What I found helpful was figuring out exactly what I needed from my alone time. Was it time to read a book? Was it the ability to lie in bed and stare at the ceiling for an hour? Was it time to do household chores, or listen to music, or go out for some coffee and people watch?
For me, it was a little of all of those things, and when I realized what it was that I wanted from the alone time, I was able to reframe it. Especially when you have an infant (under, say, a year old) it's fairly easy to do most of those things with them. I bought a baby sling and used it constantly. My daughter would hang out in there and chew on a teething ring or whatever, and I'd go about doing what I needed to do. Young children are often soothed by movement (and a sling is constant movement, since she'd pick up that I was breathing and shifting slightly in my seat or whatever) so that went far to keeping her calm and happy. It also meant that I had my arms and hands free, so I could play the piano, get a sandwich, read a book or whatever without disrupting her in any way. If I felt up to it, I'd sometimes talk about what I was doing as I was doing it. If I didn't, I wouldn't, and she'd (usually) be fairly happy just watching what I was doing.
I had to reframe my alone-time activities into something that she could be present for without interfering in. For some things, that meant doing it when she was asleep--if she fell asleep, I got the first thirty minutes of that sleep cycle to read, say, or to nap. For others, that meant giving her something to entertain herself with and letting her play next to me while I did whatever I was doing. Children don't need constant interaction or stimulation, and many are perfectly happy to examine a board book/a plush ball/the kittycat long enough for you to have a little time to yourself. Learn to get some of your alone time in fifteen or thirty minute chunks during the day, and resign yourself to sacrificing an hour or two of sleep in order to have a solid chunk in the evenings/at night.
Finally, I think that it's worth remembering that if the baby-baby-baby is getting to be too much for you, it's okay to put your child down and walk away. I (probably) wouldn't do it to a child who was hysterically upset, but if you're getting stressed out and unable to deal, twenty or thirty minutes of playpen or crib time hasn't ever hurt anyone. It'll gain you a few precious minutes of relative solitude--put them in the crib with something they like (stuffed animal, whatever) and then walk out of the room and close the door behind you.

My husband and I are both introverts (and INTJ and an INFJ), and we've noticed that our baby is showing signs of being one - when he is in groups with other children, he sort of plays intensely by himself, and while he will kind of check in with the other kids from time to time and isn't really antisocial or uncomfortable with other kids when they do interact, he doesn't seem to need the interaction like I observe most of the other kids do. We gently encourage him to play with other kids, but he tends to gravitate back to his own world. Too early to tell, but he certainly isn't a social butterfly.
What we have perfected, organically, is being alone together. We kind of dwell in the same space together and do our own thing, reconvening occasionally to chat or hug or show each other something of interest, but focussing quietly on our own pursuits in each others company. To me, this is bliss - to look up from work or a book and be able to chat with my family, but for it not to be a draining focus for us. For this reason, home is the haven it should be.
If your partner is less intorverted than you, communication is the key. You just need to talk about your need for solitude. Your home and family life doesn't have to be something you've seen elsewhere, even in your family before you got hitched and started your own. I always have in mind that we are allowed to
create the culture
of our home and family. Our child will discover other ways of being when he gets amongst it, but we can only be who we are, and that is, bookish people who like to potter in a quiet, TV-free home, reading, cooking and being loving with one another. It's sort of how we put our values (love of learning, etc) into action. Our baby gets tons and tons of attention and love, but when I notice he is playing happily with blocks or something, I cut myself a break by sitting with him and writing or something. When he shows interest in playing, I put it aside and get silly with him, because it's not all about me anymore.
Just create the balance you want to have through communication.

The comments here are really sensible.
I think the key is being flexible and , above all, communicative. When our baby ( who is now four ) was first born I thought that I'd go mad with the attachment. I could barely leave the room without her wailing, and she wouldn't let anyone other than me, my husband or my mother hold her. It put other family members' noses out of joint for a while! I just wanted to say " It's not my fault. I wish she wouldn't cry for mummy every second. I just need some time alone!!! "
And then my husband said: " These are the the halcyon days. We're all together. She's new, she's ours. We can dote on her. It doesn't get better than this."
For fear of sounding slushy or sentimental I have to tell you that I think of that every time I feel irritated or claustrophobic. The time goes so quickly. Having a small baby can put you into the depths of despair, but equally make your spirits soar. Don't run away from it, or close off, or feel aggrieved that you're missing time alone.
Of course, you do need time to breathe. You can carve out a few hours when the baby is sleeping. And they will sit in their buggy pretty happily for ages just looking around, whilst you read or have coffee, or just look around too! My husband and I initially got hung up on who had had more 'time alone,' and it became a kind of crazy currency. "You went to the supermarket by yourself and took two hours ! " " But your friend came over all evening and I had the baby.." etc . etc. Eventually, we respected each others' need for some kind of private time and it kind of works itself out now.
It gets better. But as babies become more independent, go to nursery, go to school you will wonder where their babyhood went and miss them as you get more and more time alone.

Just a little thought to put out from my activities in other groups, some much larger then this one, that applies to all groups.
Do you Just Belong?
Are you an active member, the kind that would be missed?
Or are you just content, that your name is on the list?
Do you attend the meetings, and mingle with the flock?
Or do you meet in private, and criticize and knock?
Do you take an active part to help the work along?
Or are you satisfied to be the kind who just belongs?
Do you work on committees .... to this there is a trick
Or leave the work to just a few, and talk about the clique?
So come to meetings often and help with hand and heart,
Don't be just a member, but take an active part.
Think this over members, you know what's right from wrong.
Are you an active member, or do you just belong?
Well, just some words that I think need to be put out and thought about.
I only wish the best for this group but want to ensure it grows properly so it lasts long time but remains open to all players of different level of ability
and to allow their voices and opinions to mean something. Never know who might have that next great idea.
We are in process of making some major decisions that I feel will effect the future of our sport in this area, good, bad or other wise.
I only want to ensure that we all understand these changes and that communicaton stays open to all involved at this time.
Thank you,

Internet, meet Bronwynn's star.
Star, meet the Internet.
This star is part of what I like to call "B's 10 Essentials." That is, it's one of the many beloved possessions that B takes to bed every night and feels like she can't exist without. This list is revised every few weeks. Bunny, blanket and a sippy of water are always tops, then there's usually some dolls, a toy yellow Volkswagen Beetle, a favorite book, and other random trinkets, and of course, the star.
The star is actually a barrette, but the hair clip backing broke a while ago, and so B started carrying the star around and sleeping with it. At bedtime, she insists that Kris and I rub her back and sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and she holds up her star as if it really is a diamond in the sky. Then, she tucks the star under her pillow and asks me to kiss her eyelids and she goes to sleep.
ADORABLE, right? We thought so too. But oh, what naive parents we were! Because, what happens when your toddler wakes up for a sip of water at 2AM and does a quick inventory of all her essentials, and the star is missing? (the star is so small, it's ALWAYS missing).
All hell breaks loose.
I've become quite skilled at finding it under her mattress, behind her headboard, hidden in the depths of her toy box, in the refrigerator, in Miles' mouth... I've found that damn star in the dark, half-awake, at 2AM more times than I can count. (Anything to stop the wailing and get more sleep.) Sometimes she cries that her star is missing, when in fact she's actually holding it in her hand.
I know what you're thinking. Why do you let her bring so many toys to bed every night?! Therein lies your problem! And I'd have to agree with you, except we have tried limiting her to just her bunny and blanket each night, and guess what happens?? She climbs out of bed and gathers ALL of her toys into one huge pile to sleep with.
Think I'm exaggerating? Look at what we discovered one morning in Colorado. I don't even know how she slept there that night....
Bottom line: Toddlers have no filters. They can't edit themselves. So, the fact we convinced her to sleep with only 10 items is really an improvement. We're working on getting that number down to 5.
Now excuse me, I have a star to locate....

I love the star.
As I child (until an age so advanced I'm unwilling to share it here), I slept with purple turtle and yellow blankie. Years later, I find myself nestled among one husband, two dogs, and five pillows. I guess what I'm saying is that old habits die hard, but really, what's it matter as long as one has sweet dreams?

we too have our nightly checklist...which ahs to be gone over again in the wee hours way to often.
you know those clips that hold binky's on to clothes...i wonder if you could fasten one on to Star? Star might be too slippery though and miss his middle of the night wanderings.

My 18 mos old hasn't grabbed on to the lovely stage yet, but I have a suggestion. You could sew a pocket on a few pillow cases and the star goes into the pocket each night rather than loose under the pillow. Hope that helps!
Just found your site from Oh Dee Doh. Lovely room transformation!

According to Ric Bucher the Denver Nuggets will send the future first round pick owed to them by Charlotte in exchange for North Carolina point guard Ty Lawson.
As players like Jrue Holiday, Eric Maynor and Lawson kept falling I thought it brought those players into Denver's wheelhouse.
Before the draft I did not want to give up the Bobcats' pick, but I knew I could talk myself into it for Lawson or Maynor and I already feel pretty good about it. Lawson should be a very good fit in Denver. He greatly improved his three point shooting last season and can learn the finer points of defense from Chauncey Billups.
The Nuggets can now focus on best player available with pick 34.
Update: The Denver Post confirms the trade.
At this point I would be happy with trading number 34 and next year's first rounder to move up and draft DeJuan Blair. If they want to, they can get it done.

Shedding Light on the Layers of a Lamp: Creation, Production, and Symbolism at Tell en-Nasbeh
March 21, 2012 - Fall, 2012; Badè Museum Gallery
To truly appreciate the multifaceted nature of the lamp in antiquity, one must look past its unassuming size and relative simplicity, and consider instead its less conspicuous layers of creation, functionality, and symbolism. In a world that could not depend on electricity and far-reaching lighting systems, humans had two natural light sources, the sun and fire. While the sun provided an excellent light source for outdoor activities during the daytime, lamps allowed for work to be done both after sunset and in enclosed spaces, therein profoundly altering and manipulating the natural environment for the benefit of humans. This invaluable ability resulted in the production and use of lamps in almost all regions and time periods during antiquity. Yet like any modern commodity, lamps changed throughout time and place as a result of increasing technologies, wavering fashions, and changing environments.
From an archaeological perspective, this consistent use and development of the lamp through place and time makes it a very useful means of dating stratigraphic levels at a single site and between different sites in a similar region. Archaeologists can also learn a lot about the activity areas of an ancient site based on the specific findspots of lamps. Lastly, lamps offer incomparable insight into the varying levels of artistic skills and production in antiquity. Yet, at a deeper level, lamps also attest to the importance of cultural style and to the connection tangible objects can have with ideological and spiritual beliefs within a specific culture and social group.
All of these facets of the lamp are evinced by the archaeological and textual remains from Tell en-Nasbeh, and neighboring regions: from the physical objects themselves, to associated tools and materials used in their creation, and even the textual materials produced by the culture to whom they belonged. There was not a single area or mindset of ancient life at Tell en-Nasbeh that was not in some way lit, whether visually or spiritually, by the flame of a lamp.
This show is the product of the joint venture between the Badè Museum and the Doug Adams Gallery, entitled Mining the Collection, in which the Badè Museum curators work with a resident artist at the Doug Adams Gallery to explore the Tell en-Nasbeh collection together, sharing a variety of ideas and concepts, and creating two exhibits that revolve around a shared interest in a particular aspect of the collection. The Doug Adams Gallery exhibit is entitled "Dimensions of Dark," featuring the work of Cathy Richardson.
'Behinds the Scenes' at the Badè Museum
October, 2011 - present; Badè Museum Hallway Display Cases
While the Badè Museum Gallery often stands as a symbol of the larger entity and efforts of the museum, and offers the public a clear and comprehensive visual representation of the Tell en-Nasbeh collection, much of the cutting-edge work takes place out of public view. Ongoing research of specific artifacts and object types from the collection, for example, is often carried out in the museum office and storage areas in Holbrook Hall. Working on these projects are the museum staff and visiting scholars, the latter often carrying out additional work from their home research institutions, both in the United States and abroad.
The summaries and photographs in this exhibit highlight the projects currently in progress at the Badè Museum. While being linked by a common base, the Tell en-Nasbeh collection, this group of projects is truly diverse, ranging from artifact-oriented inquiries, digitizing the Tell en-Nasbeh collection, to the revitalization of the museum's educational outreach program, our popular traveling exhibit. This display, accordingly, brings to light the innovative and often unknown aspects of museum work by offering a unique window to the "behind of the scenes" of the Badè Museum.
The Current Projects on Display include:
- Cooking at Tell en-Nasbeh: An Archaeological Interpretation of Iron Age Diet and Identity
- The Tell en-Nasbeh Bioarchaeology Project
- The Badè Museum's Traveling Exhibit Program
- Household Archaeology at Tell en-Nasbeh: A New Approach to Old Material
- Digitizing, Databasing, and Disseminating the Tell en-Nasbeh Collection
- Iron Tools and Agriculture at Iron Age Tell en-Nasbeh
Tell en-Nasbeh
Permanent display
This exhibit is the "heart and soul" of the Badè Museum. It displays a wealth of finds from the excavations at Tell en-Nasbeh, Palestine whose objects span from the Early Bronze Age (3100–2200 BC) through the Iron Age (1200–586 BC) and into the Roman and Hellenistic periods.
Highlights of the exhibit include "Tools of the Trade" featuring real archaeological tools used by Badè and his team, an oil lamp typology, a Second Temple period (586 BC–70 AD) limestone ossuary, and a selection of painted Greek pottery.

I began making art as a kid, partly because my mom was an artist and there was a lot of encouragement to be creative. As an adult I attended The School of Visual Arts in NYC, The Art Students League, and Parsons to explore all sorts of different media. My favorite turned out to be collage.
I am thrilled to have sold many pieces, and shown my work in a few very special places. This year, I made some art especially for Obama's Inauguration. You can check out the art and article here.

Goodman Fielder, Australasia�s leading listed food company, has made far-reaching improvements to the way it distributes bakery products throughout Australia by introducing a package of planning, mapping, routing, scheduling and optimisation resources from a UK company, MapMechanics.
Goodman Fielder�s national supply chain business analyst, Paul March, describes it as �a quantum leap� in helping to control costs, adding: �We�ve been able to optimise the number of trucks, we�ve reduced mileage and fuel costs, and we�ve provided more sustainable earnings for the independent contractors who do our deliveries, reinforcing their commitment to our business. Everybody wins.�
The package supplied by MapMechanics includes several copies of TruckStops, the company�s routing and scheduling solution; GeoConcept, the powerful mapping and geographic information system; OptiSite, MapMechanics� network planning and modelling system; and NAVTEQ street-level digital mapping. MapMechanics also provided implementation support and training.
Paul March emphasises that almost all the interaction with MapMechanics during the supplier selection process and product roll-out was by remote communication. �Dealing with a supplier on the other side of the world simply hasn�t been an issue for us,� he says. �The MapMechanics people have been extremely responsive, and ready to take the time difference in their stride. Their digital conferencing and WebEx real-time online software demonstrations were incredibly powerful, and proved that the supplier need not actually be on the spot.�
MapMechanics did send a specialist to Australia to provide a week�s on-site training prior to roll-out, but this was the only occasion in the entire process when any global travel was required.
Goodman Fielder is one of Australia�s biggest bakery companies, delivering to 14,000 outlets throughout the country from a nationwide network of depots every day. It manufactures in multiple locations, and supports an intricate network of depot and inter-factory trunking operations and local deliveries.
Uniquely in its market, the company uses independent contractors (all of them small local businesses) to do its final deliveries � a system introduced progressively over seven years, and one that has already brought major economies.
�Our contractors don�t just deliver, they also merchandise and represent us to retailers,� Paul March explains. �We incentivise them to work hard for us, and the results have already paid dividends in cost savings and improved sales.�
However, when Paul March joined four years ago, he realised there was potential to take a good idea and make it even better.
�We wanted to make delivery routes more sustainable for our contractors � to ensure that they had an optimal mix of larger and smaller customers, and were using the right vehicle types. But we simply didn�t have the time or the necessary information to make informed judgements. We needed the right tools to help us make strong commercial decisions.�
Following a pilot exercise in Sydney and Melbourne using a basic in-house mapping application, the company saw that there was potential for major change. It therefore drew up a tender document and invited bids from a dozen solution providers on three continents, giving them real data to model so that their proposals would all be based on the same objective parameters.
�We used a matrix of performance indicators to evaluate them, and most had scored above 80 per cent. MapMechanics came out well ahead with a rating of 96 per cent, and was our unmistakable first choice.�
The company then embarked on a wide-ranging project to streamline contractor operations using the GeoConcept mapping and geographical information system with NAVTEQ street-level data. It was able to see customers visually differentiated by size and type and use this ability to map out territories.
It was also able to map traffic flows. Using features such as GeoConcept�s �find nearest� and isochrone travel-time calculations, it was able to re-balance territories, and even out the distribution load among contractors.
These structured delivery lists were then ready to pass to TruckStops to verify and produce viable delivery rounds with the best possible mix of customers. �We were amazed at the results,� Paul March says. �We could now see cost per drop and make decisions on how best to structure delivery rounds.�
The reports output by both GeoConcept and TruckStops delivered compelling evidence of the savings to be made by pursuing these new optimised territories.
Paul March points out that the optimum route mix is based not just on journey time, but also on outlet size and type, concession rates and other factors. �Minimising cost doesn�t necessarily equate with minimising geographical spread."
�We were able to set up TruckStops to weight all the main factors, even merchandising times, and come up with an overall best solution.�
He cites an example of a contractor who had been struggling to visit all allocated customers. �We used TruckStops to show him how to manage his trucks and delivery sequence, and he was amazed at how well it worked in real life.�
An additional benefit, he adds, is that when relief drivers are needed, they can be provided with ready-made route plans that are known to be viable.
The MapMechanics package has also led to a change in loading practice at some depots. �The linear GANTT charts produced by TruckStops revealed that in some instances the loading time limited delivering capabilities. We�d simply never been able to see this before.� Decisions can now be made to utilise third-party loading instead of contractors, who are then freed up to maximise their time in the marketplace.
�Line-haul� (trunk) movements as well as deliveries have benefitted from the MapMechanics package. Goodman Fielder uses large logistics companies to handle this work, and using MapMechanics tools it overlaid their trunk routes on local contractors� rounds.
�We found that in some cases the line-haul carrier could slot deliveries into an existing journey, freeing the local contractor for other work.�
Paul March sums up: �This exercise has been a true paradigm shift for us. MapMechanics has given us the ability to add science to our decision-making. This has changed our options on how we should operate, and enabled us to make really good commercial decisions.�
MapMechanics� chairman and business development director, Mary Short, adds: �This project has provided a vivid demonstration that products and services like ours are truly international, and borders or even oceans are no barrier to providing compelling solutions that can address users� local needs on the other side of the world, and save them money while maintaining or improving customer service.�

With 2013 being named as the return of the guitar band, Kodaline have timed their arrival perfectly. A good job too, because the Irish four-piece haven't got a plan b.
"There are no other ideas. This is it," says lead singer Steve Garrigan, sat in a bar in central London with his other three bandmates. "It may sound cliched but this is all we've ever wanted," adds guitarist Mark Prendergast.
Steve and Mark, along with bassist Jay Boland and drummer Vinny May Jnr, have had an explosive start off the blocks. In three months, their debut track "All I Want" is approaching almost 100,000 copies sold. Written by Steve about an ex who broke his heart, he explains, "I was with this girl for about two and a half years, who went away on holiday and said 'we'll talk about it when we get back' and she came back with a boyfriend, so it was like 'oh shit', so I wrote about it.
Most of the song's success has been due to word of mouth from the video, a beauty and the beast melodrama directed by the upcoming Stevie Russell. The song, coupled with the story of a modern day 'monster' (played by Russell himself) winning over a blonde colleague, has racked up over 1.5 million views online. It was also hand-picked for the Google Zeitgeist ad, which has been watched by an audience of 13 million, bringing with it a solid army of fans.
"All I Want" is part of their debut 11-song opus In A Perfect World, out 17th June, which they've spent the best part of the last year making, and is an album of honest, melodic, soulful and romantic songs.
If it is as perfect a world as the title says, the foursome will fulfil their collective dream to "write as many albums as possible."
The lads - most of the line-up have been playing together since they were 15 - declare they're in it for the long haul. Says Steve: "We're such a new band but we're only going to get better. If we have the chance to make another album, it will be so much better than this one." It's a bold statement from the frontman but he means it. So hungry, they say they already have enough material for album two.
Getting their thirst from playing in their bedrooms as teenagers in the small Irish town of Swords, before grafting hard on the local band circuit in Dublin, means they already possess a cohesive sound. Even though Steve is the main songwriter, they all play a part in the process. "We all pitch in," explains Jason. "All the songs are about things that have happened to us."
Says Steve: "If you have a skeleton in your closet..." (with Mark joining in to finish) "you may as well make it dance."
And there's a few of those.
No stone is left unturned when it comes to the primary theme of romance and they're not afraid of sounding lovelorn. "We don't mind being known as a romantic rock band, it's not something to be ashamed of," admits Steve. "'Talk'' for example, penned by Mark, with the lyrics "I've been counting the days since you went away'" is another song about a lost love, its mid-section crescendo brilliantly executed.
The band wrote the album in four places, the Irish county of Leitrim, Worcestershire, Yorkshire and Wales - with each location heavily influencing the songs that were penned there.

One of the most distinct and cool neighborhoods in Barcelona is Gracia. If you're looking for a place to stay in Barcelona for your holiday then Gracia is a great place to rent accommodation in Barcelona. You should rent an apartment because there aren't many hotels to choose from, so it's one of the most few places in Barcelona where tourism isn't rampant. This fact makes it one of authentic places to stay in the city, and it's well connected with public transport. It's also the zone where many of the artists of the city live.

Deep in the waters of the earth's massive oceans, more than 300 species of sharks live in a shroud of mystery and myth. From coral reefs in the Indian Ocean to Caribbean Sea, sharks hunt their prey, scavenge for food, and stealthily roam the waters enjoying their status at the top of the ocean's natural food chain. However, there's a lot about sharks that you may not know. According to the experts at the Shedd Aquarium, there are a lot of misconceptions out there surrounding these feared creatures. That's why—just in time for the Discovery Channel's annual Shark Week—the Shedd Aquarium is hosting the Shark Week "Shedd-ule" of Events. In fact, the Shedd Aquarium's events are already underway.

"Paris Street; Rainy Day" Returns to Art Institute of Chicago
Big news in the Chicago art world this season! After undergoing months of restorative work, "Paris Street; Rainy Day" returns to the Art Institute of Chicago this May. The longtime favorite and a centerpiece of the Art Institute's extensive Impressionist holdings, "Paris Street; Rainy Day" (1877) is an iconic work by French painter Gustave Caillebotte, best known for his blend of Realist and Impressionist techniques in his paintings of Parisian streets, men and women, and "la vie quotidienne." The painting has been a popular one with visitors since the museum first acquired the piece in 1964, at which point it was already nearly 90 years old. Museum staff notes that it had undergone some restorative treatments upon arriving in Chicago. Since that time, it's been a cornerstone of Impressionist exhibits throughout the Art Institute of Chicago's history, featured … [Read more...]

BRIAN XhlUHIHS SlGMOsI PINEWOOD DERBY CARS whiz by Opal Jenks and family of Perry, who came to support their husband and father in the engineering program at Weber State. The derby was part of WSU Engineering Day held In the Union Building Ballroom yesterday. Ogden astronaut says space exploration is the final frontier, worth economic costs . By GREG WEBBER Staff writer of The Signpost When Space Shuttle Mission STS-53 takes off for space in October this year, Ogden's Rich Clifford will be aboard. Clifford, a 1970 Ben Lomond High School graduate and National Aeronautic Space Administration (NASA) astronaut, was the guest speaker Thursday at the Honors Issues Forum as part of Engineers Week at WSU. Although the cost for a proposed space station is about $30 billion, he said man's knowledge of space maybe one of the keys to making life better on Earth. "If they had never crossed the Mississippi, where would all of us in Utah be today? " -Rich Clifford, native Ogdenite and NASA astronaut "Just think, if the early settlers of the United States had not wondered what there was on the other side of the Mississippi, and if they had never crossed the Mississippi, where would all of us in Utah be today?" he said. Clifford said space is the next frontier to be conquered. While some people complain that the cost of space exploration is too high, Clifford said NASA's budget is only about one percent of the total federal budget. He added that a certain percentage of NASA's budget goes to fund research at universities including WSU. However, NASA is always trying to reduce the cost of manned space flights by increasing efficiency, he said. Clifford said there are two types of astronauts: pilots and mission spe-(See SPACE page 2) Students choose service for spring break They will teach at the elementaryschool, wood, doing home repairs and helping In the medical clinic. ALTERNATIVE BREAK Some will choose to serve on Navajo Indian reservation between quarters By BLAKE WATKINS Staff writer of The Signpost Spring break is rapidly approaching and for many students it is a time to play, party, and get out of town. But for 20 Weber State students, this year's spring break will be a different experience. Associated Students of Weber State University (ASWSU), for the second year in a row, are sponsor ing an alternative spring break. Students give up the usual spring break activities for a week of community service. Last year, 10 WSU students traveled to Moab, Utah and did a service project at Arches National Park. The group helped park officials clear out tamarisk trees in an effort to rejuvenate spring in the park. Susan Tribe, alternative spring break coordinator, said this year the group will be going to the Navajo Indian reservation about 40 miles from Bluff. "We are going with a group of 30 people from the U of U and maybe 10 more from BYU," Tribe said. She said she feels it will be a neat experience to interact with students from the other schools and help the Navajo people. Students from the University of Utah have been down to help the Indians several times before and have set up the program with them. A pilot group recently went to Bluff to scout out needs of the tribe for the upcoming excursion. Those who attend the alternative spring break can expect to be involved in teaching at the elementary school, chopping wood, doing home repairs, helping in the medical clinic and possibly bringing in coal from Arizona, Tribe said. Although it may sound like a lot of work and no play, Tribe said, (See BREAK page 2) Howard to resign for job as college president in Calif. Arts & Humanities Dean Sherwin Howard hopes to return to Weber By GREG WEBBER Staff writer of The Signpost Sherwin W. Howard, dean of Weber State's College of Arts and Humanities, has been appointed to serve a three-year term as president of Deep Springs College in Deep Springs, Calif. Howard's duties at the exclusive two-year institution will include teaching, program development,fund-raising and administration. Howard will step down from his WSU position June 30. He has requested a leave-of-absence and said he hopes to eventually return to the Weber State performing arts faculty. "Deep Springs is one of the best, small liberal arts colleges in America," Howard said. "I am honored to be going there. Even so, my decision to leave Weber State was not an easy one." Howard's appointment to Deep Springs was announced Tuesday by William H. Allen, a Washington D.C. attorney and chairman of the board of trustees of the exclusive two-year college. "We are enthusiastic about Dr. Howard's deci- - y 1 : A tr" Jbii 1 I liw.i,-.r-.lj SHERWIN HOWARD sion to join Deep Springs," Allen said. "We were seeking a president with high intellectual powers. We wanted someone with not just an aptitude for things of the mind, but a real reverence for intellectual pursuits. Sherwin Howard fits that bill perfectly." Of his tenure at WSU, Howard said, "It's been an amazing experience. Weber State is an institution that works. The people here are bright and informed. Great things can happen here and it's an exciting place to be. I will miss being here and I appreciate the possibility of coming back." Deep Springs was founded in 1917 by L.L. Nunn, an entrepreneur in the electric utilities industry. The college selects its students from among the top two percent of high school scholars. Howard described instruction at Deep Springs as innovative and tailored to the individual needs of students. The student-to-faculty ratio is very low, Howard said, and most classes at Deep Springs have fewer than 10 students. Howard has been dean of arts and humanities at WSU since 1980. He had previously held faculty and administrative posts at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, and Lawrence University in Appleton, Wis. Instruction at Deep Springs is Innovative and tailored to the Individual needs of students. Thestudenf-to-faculty ratio Is very low, and most classes at Deep Springs have fewer than 1 0 students.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

[In the Frame, Out of the Box]
[Philipp Plein Fall Winter 2012 Campain]
I love talented individuals that can think [outside of the box] to make brilliant work in an effortless fashion. For the Philipp Plein FW12 campaign, Terry Richardson conducted the shoot in a mirror-coated room and, taking a completely unconventional route, allowed himself to be seen in each shot. As you can see from the images below, the photos look great and, while his presence adds a totally cool element to the prints, he doesn't take away from the clothing being shown. I think this is a great shoot and it shows what can come from creative thinking.

Kevin Love is not going to be getting much from Timberwolves fans moving forward. After stupidly breaking his hand while reportedly doing knuckle pushups near the beginning of the season, the Wolves power forward underwent surprise knee surgery on Monday to remove loose bodies die to scar tissue in his knee. The latest surgery will keep Love out for an additional 4-6 weeks and will further strain an intense situation between the Love and the Wolves.
#twolves announce @kevinlove will have arthroscopic surgery on his left knee to remove a buildup of scar tissue.Recovery time, 4-6 weeks.
— Alan Horton (@WolvesRadio) April 9, 2013
It's no secret that Love and the Timberwolves front office aren't the best of buds, and both sides are to blame for the situation we find ourselves in. But so far most of the blame is squarely on Love, as his hand injury was absolutely unnecessary and the timing of his surgery is now questionable as well. While the argument that Love waiting until now to have knee surgery suggests that he was hoping to return in 2013, But it's not as though the Timberwolves have just been eliminated from the playoffs, so the question as to why Love waited until this week to have surgery is valid.
The Timberwolves are in a bind with Love, as they've given him a big contract but one he's still not happy with. He's been openly standoff-ish with the club in the recent past and those that can see into the future are watching the bridge begin to burn. Love's surgery means he'll be recovered by late May, early June which puts him on track to be healthy for the start of the 2013-14 season.
But this season has been forgettable for more than one reason for the Wolves, and the uncertainty about Rick Adelman's future with the team may further cause a rift between Minnesota and their only All-Star player.
