Reversible Patched Pojagi Runner
This time around I wanted something with a bit more weight, as I was primarly interested in creating a more substantial feeling cloth. So, I started with a heavier shot cotton, (from Robert Kaufman's Carolina Chambray collection).
Being that it's a very dark color, and a quilt weight fabric, it doesn't have the same transparency as my previous pojagi pieces where I used lighter weight shot cottons, (from Kaffe Fassett) however it has some transparency and still looks pretty hung in a window.
For this piece the seams are opened up, tucked under and sewn down with a zig-zag stitch.
I came up with this method of stitching the seams last year, and I like to use this particular method when I want a more 'utilitarian' look. (You can find a "how-to" tutorial for the two types of machine stitched Pojagi seams that I use here).
In keeping with the 'utilitarian' look, I appliqued patches on both sides. Here is one side shown above...
and the other side shown below...
I like how not only the patches on the facing side add a design element, but also how the stitching from the patches on the opposite side come through, adding another element of line and shape.
Reversible Patched Pojagi Runner is now available for sale in my shop.
Have a great weekend Everyone!

This is just stunning. I am currently planning a more transparent version inspired by your prior work to hang in my office window -- love this interpretation as well!

Really pretty... using different colored threads would also make those patches more visible. I think I've seen that with other asian antique pieces.

I do love that blue with the stripes. The "seams" remind me of jeans. Another lovely project.

Lovely! I love the 2 sided-ness of this one - with the shadow stitching from the underside coming through. AWESOME!

Wonderful! I love the patches on both sides with the sewing showing through, and the utility look. It almost looks like denim. You've invented a winner again!!

Hi Vic- Immediately this reminded me of one of my favorite uncles (the one who called me Gertie, remember that?) and his work bibs. Then I scroll down and see the shot on of it on the galvanized tub and I remember him always telling the story of Saturday night being bath night and how they heated water and bathed in the galvanized tub. Oh, I really love this piece!

Love this one Vic! Also the one in the post below is gorgeous! It's so nice to see you back from your blog break. I'm envious of your summer temps as I sit here layered up struggling with winter! Although my winter is probably way less extreme than yours so I shouldn't moan too much. I at least have no snow :) xo

text: Enucleation Enucleation means that the eye ball is removed surgically, leaving the surrounding muscles and tissues within the eye socket. This information is designed to help you understand the basics of the surgical process and artificial eye implant involved with enucleation, or removal of an eye. Our main focus is to inform patients about what happens after enucleation. This information is not intended to help patients make the decision to remove an eye or not. If you have any questions while reading this, please ask one of the nurses to assist you. At the time of surgery, the eye ball is removed and in most cases, replaced with a small ball made of glass, silicone rubber, or plastic. This replacement ball is not a natural part of the eye socket, and thus, is considered a "foreign body" in the eye socket. Though rare, it is possible that the implant could be forced out of the eye socket. To hold the implant in place and provide some movement to it, the muscles and other soft tissues are sewn in place around, or to, the small ball. In the great majority of patients, this implant is tolerated well without any problems. After the implant is placed inside the eye socket, a plastic or silicone shell (conformer) is placed over the front of the implant and between the eyelids. This helps maintain the eye socket shape and keeps the eye lids from shrinking. To ensure a successful surgery, great care should be taken not to disturb or irritate the skin or area around the eye socket. After the surgery, a large pressure bandage is applied. This is usually kept on one to two days. You may have some discomfort at this point, and medication prescribed by your doctor can reduce this discomfort. After the pressure dressing is removed, you may notice some swelling and/or black and blue color on the eyelids. This is temporary and will heal by itself. When you open the lids, you will be able to see the plastic shell, or conformer, in place. It may be clear or white. A regular gauze patch is all that is necessary at this point. The plastic shell (conformer) is held in place by your eyelids and will not usually fall out by itself. A healing period of 4 to 6 weeks is necessary before an ocularist -- a specialist who makes false eyes (ocular prostheses) -- can fit the final prosthesis. Mr. Raymond Jahrling is one of the best ocularists in New England and is located very close to the hospital. His prosthesis fittings usually involve three visits. During the first visit, Mr. Jahrling takes an impression and makes a mold of the eye socket. He makes an exact impression and builds wax on it to match the curve of the patient's other eye exactly. Under controlled lighting conditions, he then carefully paints the front part of the eye on a clear plastic disk. Before the patient's second visit, Mr. Jahrling embeds the painted plastic disk in a mold. Then, the whole piece is cured under controlled heat and pressure, similar to making pottery in a kiln. When the patient returns, Mr. Jahrling paints the blood vessel pattern on the white part of the eye. On the third visit, he fits the prosthesis, and instructs the patient on care and cleaning. After a month, a follow-up visit is needed to make any minor adjustments. When one loses an eye, there is obviously a need for extra protection to the remaining eye. Protective eyewear or safety glasses are strongly recommended for daily use. Safety goggles are a must for all contact sports. In conclusion, there are very few limitations after the loss of an eye. One may still engage in sports, drive a car, and lead a normal life. The nurse from Retina Service will review your follow-up appointment with your doctor at Mass. Eye and Ear, usually one week after surgery, and your follow up appointment with Mr. Jahrling, the ocularist, usually four to six weeks after your surgery at Mass. Eye and Ear In the interim, if the conformer dislocates, notify your doctor's office. Do not put the conformer in any chemical cleaner or alcohol solution. Place in a clean bowl with tap water.

Modular Kitchen Manufacturers in Oklahoma
Buying A Modular Kitchen From The Best Modular Kitchen Manufacturers
Modular kitchen offers a lot of benefits to homeowners, even those who only have a small space. With its 'modular' style, modular kitchen can provide lots of storage regardless how big or small the space you have. Built with prefabricated units or modules that are combined based on the user's preferences, modular kitchens not only provide sufficient space, but also neat storage units for pantry items, spices, utensils, flatware, dishes, and other things you need to have in your kitchen.
One of the great things about modular kitchen is that you can customize every elements based on your needs and personal style, from the floor composition to the size and shape of countertops. Another great thing is that if you want to replace one or two elements in your kitchen, you can easily do that without disturbing the rest of the kitchen.
When working on your modular kitchen design, here are some of the most important things you must consider:
Your kitchen layout will determine how well you utilize the available space. L-shaped kitchen is probably the most popular style nowadays, some other popular styles you can choose include the U-shaped, parallel or straight, and there is also an island design, or if you have a really large space for your kitchen, you can even combine two different styles. Besides considering the size and shape of the room when choosing the kitchen layout, you should also consider the location of windows and doors, as well as the existing electrical outlets, plumbing and appliances.
When choosing appliances for your new kitchen, you need to consider your specific needs. Whatever you choose to have, whether it's dishwasher, sink, refrigerator, microwave, grill, stoves, oven or others, make sure that those are the things you know you will use and not simply taking up valuable spaces in your kitchen.
Electrical points
Consider where you will place all your electric appliances so you know exactly where you should have electrical outlets. Also consider the existing electrical installation and where you will put your light switches.
If you already have an existing plumbing system in the room, then you can use it to determine where to put the kitchen sink. It's best to utilize the existing plumbing system to save money, because setting up a new plumbing system could be really expensive.
Countertops and cabinets
These are the main parts of your kitchen and what make your modular kitchen "modular". Determine the height and depth of your countertops and cabinets based on your personal preferences and the amount of storage space you need, also to make sure that you still have sufficient working area to move around freely.

The Knicks were 2-1 versus the Bulls last season. This season was supposed to be one of those years where this great rivalry would be re-kindled. The Bulls, 18-6, have been very good but obviously the 8-13 Knicks have been very bad. The Knicks do usually step their game up and compete against good teams so I think tonights game will be competitive. The Knicks match up pretty decently with the Bulls.
Here are some things to watch for:
- With no Luol Deng, it will be interesting to see what Melo can do against Ronnie Brewer. Brewer is a strong, athletic defender but he is not the player that Luol Deng is. The Knicks did a really nice job of getting Melo the ball in post up situations where he is a dominant player. For more on Melo's dominant post play, check out Jared Dubin's Hardwood Paroxysm article from last month. I think tonight, Melo either will be horrible and stop the ball all game or he's gonna have one of those vintage Melo nights. Lets be frank, in order to win tonight the Knicks will have to get Melo dominating. I think tonight he can do that against Brewer and I think the Knicks will compete hard tonight.
- Iman Shumpert Vs Derrick Rose. Obviously Bibby and Douglas won't be able to stay in front of Rose but I think Shumpert can. His legs have seem to have left him but the Knicks have had a good amount of days off lately and Shump could rise to the challenge versus the reigning MVP. The Knicks have no chance if they let the Bulls one man fast break do his best Rajon Rondo impersonation. If you forgot what that looks like, I'll remind you:
and if you have a couple minutes
- The Knicks have to keep Carlos Boozer off the boards tonight. The Duke product (how the hell did he get into Duke?) averaged 20 ppg and 20.5 rpg in 2 games versus the Knicks last season. If Boozer has 20 points 20 boards tonight, 2 things will happen. 1. I will shoot myself in the head and 2. the Knicks will lose.
- Toney Douglas had 30 points in the Knicks first matchup against the Bulls last season. I will bet anyone a large sum of money that he doesn't get 30 tonight.
- Boozer is a horrid defender. Lets see if Amar'e can take advantage. Per Hollinger's insider report on Boozer, the Bulls give up 6.36 more points per 100 possessions last season when Boozer was on the floor. He was ranked 64th out of 70 eligible power forwards in blocks per minute. Boozer has short arms and is only 6'9. The long, athletic Stoudemire should be able to take advantage but given his struggles this season, I would not expect him to dominate.
- The Bulls bench cannot score. Chicago's bench has not scored a lot of points this year, 25th in the league in bench scoring, and the Knick defense must keep it that way. Rose and Boozer will be a load offensively for the Knicks to deal with, they don't need Ashton Kutcher shooting the lights out tonight or Taj Gibson scoring 15 points. Unfortunately, the Knicks bench probably will score 3 points tonight and if the Chicago bench can get going the Knicks will likely have no counter.
- Will the real STAT please stand up?

Through my video journey, I realized I hadn't properly brought our time in New England to a close for the blog - and maybe for myself. I think I will always think of our journey to Massachusetts as our journey to get Emma.
It all started with a little twist of fate... almost two years ago on our honeymoon flight to Italy, I was browsing through the October Martha Stewart Living (seriously... how MUCH has this magazine influenced my life) and was reading an article about a little town in central Massachusetts - Deerfield. So charming and quaint. Knowing Mike was thinking of exploring new job opportunities, I said, "You know, if you found an opportunity someplace else, I think I'd like to move someplace - just for a little bit. Let's go have some fun someplace. Look at this adorable town in the middle of Massachusetts. We could live there!" My comment to him was half joking and half serious. But when we arrived in Italy, our minds really started wondering as we explored the hills of Tuscany. Mike was convinced that we needed to just stay in Italy and by a little villa. It was official, after our trip we had been stung by the exploration bee.
When we arrived home from our honeymoon, Mike (who had not yet reached out to anyone regarding a job search) had an email in his inbox from a recruiter about a job... in Boston.
After a couple of months of interviews and negotiations, we put our house on the market and went to visit New England to look for a new place to live. I had a vision for what I wanted in a new location - something in a small quaint town similar to what I had seen in the Martha Stewart Living. Through my research came across a little town called Concord. It was only 10 miles from Mike's future office and looked to be very cute. I booked a room for us at the Colonial Inn at the beginning of February.
|Concord's Colonial Inn when we came for our first visit - 5ft of snow!
|The Main Street Market & Cafe in Concord, Ma.
As we were chatting about our future plans and while the snow had quieted the rest of town, there was a crowd packed into this charming glowing little restaurant. The band started up and people were kicking off their snow boots, stripping of their stocking hats and dancing their tails off. We loved it. I am not sure if it was the music, or the fact that it felt like a glowing and bustling party in the middle of a snowed-in town, but whatever it was in that moment it had the "it" we were looking for.
A month later we had sold our house and drove ourselves and Mr. Darcy across the country. Going into it we knew we probably didn't want to stay there forever, but we were open. We were free to explore and experience for as long as we wanted.
We are pretty sure that I got pregnant sometime during the first week we were there. Yes, one month from when we decided to start trying - Emma was with us during our entire journey... we just didn't know it yet! Almost instantly our need for exploring turned into my natural instinct to nest. I felt myself wanting to find a home asap and settle in. We did just that in a house we rented in Concord, Ma.
During my pregnancy we still kept our adventurous spirit and went exploring every chance we got (as you have seen). We did our best at filling every spare moment with a new trip or experience. But as Emma got closer to her arrival date, our love for exploring started to fade into a yearning for setting up a more permanent life for us.
In December, Emma was born at Emerson Hospital in Concord. Our families came out for her birth and for the Holidays and when it was time for them to leave I knew it was time for us to start making our way home. While we had loved our time on our own, growing as a newly married couple and a new family, I knew that I wanted Emma to grow up with the rest of her family
We didn't want to leave too soon though, we still wanted a little more time out on our own and to check some things off our list. We loved living in Concord and frequenting our new favorite places- Verrill Farm, Barefoot Bookstore story time and Mr. Darcy's favorite walking route through the historical town center. When I would get anxious about wanting to get back home, I would (try) to remind myself that this was just our little life vacation- and that is how it felt.
Though short lived, I will never forget or regret our time in New England or the spirit we enriched from having gone out to explore on our own. While I don't know that our experience was exactly what I thought it would be in some ways, it was so much more in others. I can't wait to go back to some of our favorite spots someday with Emma and the rest of our family to show them that life is exactly what you make of it. I hope that we can teach her that life is about getting out there and living and never being afraid to come home... especially now that we're the parents.

LIke I said glad the days of excuse making are over. No more intentional dumbing down of the recruiting and no more dumbing down of the staff by choice. We have a good staff and the HC just said unprompted that he appreciated Tulane living up to all of its promises. You three can keep hoping he leaves to prove your point but he didn't go to Baylor and it looks like he'll be here for the long haul. If not we'll have another excellent slate of candidates to choose from as the program will be back in the spotlight.Waverunner wrote:U still don't get it,Winwave,the article clearly explains that the days of Tulane being a national power are long gone,Deal with THAT,Coachkiller.Nothing to do with RJ,our school has abandoned the fight,Pierce will realize that real soon ,and unless there is a huge buyout,will get out of Dodge
As for getting back where we were we were mostly a Regional making program. It is unfortunate that we didn't take better advantage of our opportunities when a whole lot less schools were trying in this sport. That's what makes it tougher now. Just look at LSU they'll never roll out those kind of NC's numbers again.
Quit being bitter and get on board. It's going to be a fun ride.

By Dr Donna Lecky
It is undeniable that the discovery of antibiotics changed modern medicine. However, from their mass production in 1943, antibiotics have gone from being dubbed the wonder drug to being an issue of serious global concern. Microbial resistance to antibiotics was first documented just four years after they were mass-produced. Seventy years later the picture looks bleak. Bacteria have developed resistance to all known antibiotics. Today we have bacteria that are resistant to multiple antibiotics and we are fast approaching a time when antibiotics just won't work on some bacterial infections. The economic burden associated with these multidrug-resistant bacteria is high, estimated to cause an economic loss of more than €1.5 billion each year in the EU alone.
There are lots of different and complex reasons for the increase in antibiotic resistance but one thing is clear: antibiotic use is associated with resistance. Antibiotics have been so effective at treating infections that we overuse and misuse this medication, resulting in bacterial resistance. You could say that antibiotics are suffering from their own success!
But if we've caused the problem, can we fix it? We can slow the process down by using the antibiotics we have more responsibly, buying us time to develop more antibiotics. The public play an important role in this process, but recent studies show that there is still public misunderstanding about the activity of antibiotics against microbes and their responsible use. The 2010 Eurobarometer survey found that 83% of respondents across Europe were aware that taking too many antibiotics makes them ineffective, yet the main reason given by respondents for taking antibiotics is to treat flu or a cold — regardless of the fact that antibiotics do not kill viruses.
The burden of antibiotic resistance is of global importance, so the United States, Europe, Canada, and Australia address the issue of public misunderstanding through international collaboration. Each run an annual public health initiative in November. The united aim of each of these campaigns is to encourage health professionals and the wider community to learn more about antibiotic resistance and the importance of taking these life-saving medicines appropriately. England, for example, has undertaken numerous campaigns to encourage the public to ask for fewer antibiotics and make GPs more aware of their prescribing behaviour, but the total number of antibiotics prescribed has still gone up by 12% in the past five years.
Antibiotics are the most common medication prescribed, and most public awareness campaigns tend to focus on adults, who are the gatekeepers to antibiotic use, yet antibiotic prescription rates are high in children. Few initiatives have targeted children and young people, who are our future generation of gatekeepers and prescribers. Teaching children and young people about the different types of microbes (bacteria and viruses) and the increasing problems of antibiotic resistance associated with unnecessary antibiotic use may not only raise awareness of the issue and influence their future prescribing habits, but may also raise the issue of resistance in the family environment as these children take the messages home to their parents. Various school hygiene campaigns have been shown to reduce rates of infection in schoolchildren, staff, and families, and this in turn may reduce antibiotic use.
That being said, school education on antibiotics and antibiotic resistance is poor and varies across Europe from country to country. The information provided to schoolchildren on antibiotics is limited at junior schools, but taught in more detail at the senior level. Education on antibiotic resistance is sparse, with few countries teaching that antibiotic resistance is a serious problem. Eurobarometer findings showed that 15-24-year-olds were the least informed but highest users of antimicrobials. On a positive side, it also showed that they were the most likely age group to change their minds on antibiotic use after receiving information about it. Young people in this age group are also establishing their independence and starting to visit their GP without parental support. Combine this with the fact that antibiotic resistance has been deemed a greater threat than terrorism, it's fair to surmise that school education on antibiotics and resistance should be viewed as essential. The prudent use of antibiotics can help stop resistant bacteria from developing and keep antibiotics effective for future generations, so we really need to teach our future generation about responsible antibiotic use with educational initiatives, such as e-Bug.

Lea Michele Gets a New Dog [PHOTO]
If there is one thing that can heal the sting of a broken heart, it's a new pet! Lea Michele, who is still grieving over the tragic death of her boyfriend and 'Glee' co-star Cory Monteith, got herself a little furball aka a dog who will no doubt bring her lots of joy, keep her company and help heal her heart.
The pooch is named Pearl and is 8 years old (!!!) You can see her golden fur below. That face! Those eyes! What a looker on the canine scale.
She wrote on her Twitter: "Today I would like to introduce you to Pearl. She's 8 years old and is my new little love.. Welcome Pearl!"
Pearl might be a Pomeranian, based on the thickness of her fur and the shape and look of her face. Whatever breed she is remains a small detail. She is freakin' adorbs.
Michele shared a picture of her cat getting acquainted with her new canine friend! It's Lea Michele and her girls. No, not those girls. Get your minds out of the gutter, people!
Looks like Miss Michele is expanding her fur family and we applaud her for it! We bet Pearl brings her lots of smiles. What a cute trio they are.

Graduate with Confidence
Founded in 1846 by two Yale men, Beloit is Wisconsin's oldest college, and one that has long been a national leader in the delivery of a rigorous, innovative, and rewarding liberal arts and sciences education. Beloit routinely appears as a "best value" in U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review, and is heralded as one of the "Colleges That Change Lives" by the late author and former New York Times education editor Loren Pope. Beloit draws students from 49 of the 50 U.S. states and nearly 40 foreign countries. Located on the Wisconsin-Illinois stateline, the college is easily reached from O'Hare Airport, downtown Chicago, and Madison, Wis., by a convenient and inexpensive bus service.
This college and this education—now over 167 years old—is more relevant than ever. The curriculum is flexible yet demands that students put the liberal arts into practice. Over 60% of Beloit students have at least one internship before graduation and over a quarter of those students say it led to their first job. Over $300,000 is made available to students for summer internships and research opportunities. The National Science Foundation ranked Beloit 31st as a producer of students enrolled in science and math graduate programs; Beloit ranks #1 among liberal arts colleges as the producer of future Ph.D.s in anthropology. First employers of Beloit graduates have included Groupon, American Dance Festival, Americorps, Bates White Economic Consulting, Centers for Disease Control, The Smithsonian National Museum, The Washington Post, to name a few.

Questions for CenturyLink on Washington 911 fail
OLYMPIA — The Washington Emergency Management Division believes the 911 system is stable now, but it still wants assurances from CenturyLink there won't be a repeat of Thursday's statewide outage.
Division Director Robert Ezelle says the phone company shared some information Monday as it investigates what went wrong.
Ezelle said Tuesday the state still wants to pin down why backup system didn't kick in.
CenturyLink says about 4,500 calls failed to get through during a six-hour outage caused by a technical error in a third-party vendor's call router. About 770 calls were completed in that period. CenturyLink says it has addressed the issue.
The outage involved 127 dispatch points in Washington.
The company says a similar two-hour 911 outage in parts of northwest Oregon was caused by a separate problem.

Last Tuesday afternoon host Springside Chestnut Hill Academy recorded four pins and a technical fall in its final dual meet of the season, but the Blue Devils gave away 30 points in forfeits and suffered a close loss to visiting Martin Luther King High School, 39-35.
SCH forfeited in five weight classes while King only lost one match in this fashion. It's been a familiar scenario for the short-staffed Devils, who closed out the regular season with a record of 5-12 and were 1-4 within the Inter-Ac League.
Martin Luther King has undergone a wrestling renaissance under head coach Dominic Castelli, a former wrestler at the old Chestnut Hill Academy who graduated in 1993. King had not fielded a wrestling squad for 10 years before Castelli, a teacher at the school, revived the program last winter.
This year, the Cougars' roster has almost doubled, and they've gone 9-4 overall while finishing second in Division B of the Philadelphia Public League with a mark of 6-2.
Before Tuesday's meet, Springside Chestnut Hill honored the lone senior on its roster, 152-pounder Matt Klauder. Klauder, who began to appear in varsity meets as an eighth-grader, will attend North Carolina's Elon University.
The starting weight for the event was near the upper end of the weight scale, and the Cougars quickly acquired a 12-0 lead in the team score as SCH forfeited to King's James David at 220 lbs. and to Kenneth Allen at 285.
The Blue Devils got six points back right away, since the visitors had no one to oppose SCH's Brandon Boyer at 106 lbs. Actual wrestling took place at 113 lbs., where Jordan Wang recorded a 51-second pin against MLK's Isaiah Gregory, leveling the meet score at 12-12.
After Jackson Bistrong of the home team took an early lead at 120 lbs., a reversal brought the Cougars' Tyrone Wharton back within two points at 4-2. However, an escape, takedown, and back points gave Bistrong a commanding 10-2 advantage by the end of the first period. He kept on scoring in the second round until he reached the 15-point margin for a technical fall (at 17-2) with 49 seconds left in the period.
The resulting 17-12 lead for the Blue Devils disappeared when visitor Derrick Sutton picked up six points from an SCH forfeit in the 126 lb. class. The 18-17 team tally remained unchanged as neither team sent a 132 lb. entry onto the mat.
The 138 lb. bout was still close after the first period, with the Devils' Anthony Liddy trailing Andreas Lacroix of MLK, 5-3. Lacroix kept pulling ahead with takedowns and some back points, and was up 14-4 when he nailed a pin with 22 seconds remaining in the match. SCH's George Kunkel reduced King's lead in the meet to one point, 24-23, when he pinned rival Nicko Bryant 46 seconds into the 145 lb. contest.
After each of the 152-pounders came close to scoring a takedown during the opening minute, MLK's Hassan Bolger eventually completed the move, and tacked on three back points, as well. The Blue Devils' Klauder rang up a reversal late in the opening period, and was down 5-2 entering the second round. The score was still the same when the third period began with the wrestlers in the neutral (standing) starting position, and another takedown by Bolger netted him a 7-2 decision.
The Cougars now led 27-23, and their lead grew rapidly after that as Springside Chestnut Hill was unable to offer an opponent to either Amani-Isaiah Gordon at 160 lbs. or Travis Wood at 170.
With only two matches left on the docket, the visitors now had an insurmountable 39-23 lead in the meet score. SCH made it close with a pair of pins, though. At 182 lbs. Desmond Johnson matted Raphael Nembhard of the Cougars late in the first period, then SCH 195 Ben Rubin built up a 7-0 lead over Derick Morton before pinning him with 44 seconds to go in the second round.

The postcard design (see reverse below) is similar to examples in my Winter studio profile and portfolio which I have estimated were taken in the 1920s.
On the back, in my father's handwriting, was written "A Obolensky is seated second from right." This immediately prompted me to look at it more carefully, and a quick search came up with the Wikipedia entry. Prince Alexander Sergeevich "Obo" Obolensky (February 17, 1916 - 29 March 1940) was a Russian prince and an international rugby union footballer who played for England. He was popularly known as just "The Prince" by many sports fans. (Note that the Wiki entry for The Ashe and Brasenose College were added by me). What I really want to rub in, just in case you have adopted a recent affinity to the All Blacks, is his part in the first ever England defeat of the All Blacks, a feat you can view on YouTube.
My father was at a private boys' preparatory school, The Ashe, at Ashe Hall near Etwall, Derby, and so this was the first easy clue, although I never remember him mention Obolensky. I took a trip out to the hall, now a Buddhist retreat, and sure enough the photo is taken on the path in front of the hall.
In order to attribute Obolensky as a pupil (as opposed to a member of a visiting team...unlikely but just possible) I managed to extract a very poor blazer badge from the photo. It is this that has occupied me to date.
Huge efforts at contacting people locally trying to track down former pupils have failed, as have efforts in local archives. The school only existed between the wars, during both world wars the building was used by the military. I got a response from an Obolensky I found in USA, and from her information from another family member, and established that his college at Oxford was Brasenose. The archivist there gave me good information, but sadly only his secondary public school, Trent College, was recorded by them, an already published fact. Trent College archives have no information except of course his sporting achievements.I wonder if any readers might be able to identify either one of the boys in the photograph (Click here or on the image above for a more detailed version) or the badge on the blazer? Perhaps we can find someone who went to The Ashe School? Please get in touch with me if you can help.
P.S. Nigel found the advertisement shown above in a 1935 edition of the "Derby County Borough & District Directory." It includes a facsimilie of the crest, which looks very similar to that shown on the boy's blazer.

Shortland Horne was
Our founders wanted to ensure the company had all the skills required to be involved in mixed used schemes, as well as the individual components of any successful agency.
They felt that mixed use schemes would play an increasing part in property development and that many practices lacked the infrastructure and expertise to deal with all elements of such projects. More than fifteen years later, we believe we have succeeded in that aim.
Shortland Horne is a thriving company with four offices through Coventry and Leamington Spa, although we operate nationwide for large institutions, property companies and many private investors. We have a wide range of expertise which allows us to offer a full spectrum of services to all sectors of the property industry.
We have a specialist new homes department – the largest in the area – a well-respected commercial team, a land and development arm and a very successful residential sales operation including Premier & County Homes. And that initial aim of becoming involved in all aspects of mixed use schemes has paid dividends. We are a key player in the regeneration of Coventry having advised on schemes such as Belgrade Plaza, Priory Place, and Electric Wharf as well as being the property advisers to the Ricoh Arena.
Don't just take our word for it
Here are just a few of our five star and excellent allAgent reviews...
When I decided to sell with Shortland Horne I was very pleased to be advised by Andy. He was professional throughout. He kept me informed and advised. Andy said he would sell my house and he did, I believe he found the right buyer too. The process was virtually painless and I have no doubt I went with the best agent. Thank you.Karen o\'shea July 29th 2019
Danny and Adam in lettings were most helpful. Michelle deals with all the everydat things including any maintenance issues and keeps In contact, Michelle helps to resolve any issues that arise she is very kind. The service from first meeting to advertising was quick and efficient. The information given was clear and I was kept up to date throughout the letting process. There were a number of people Interested in the property which makes me think that perhaps the rent was just a little too low however it may have been just right to create such interest. I am just glad that my property was let within a couple of weeks once Shortland Horne took over. I\'m very happy.Karen o\'shea July 29th 2019

We sold our property with Shortland Horne last month and from start to finish I could not fault them. Will came and did the valuation on our property and explained that they'd be no upfront cost. We instructed them over the 2 other agents based on their honesty and the marketing style. The video and photos they took of our house really showed it off in its best light. We had 5 viewings booked within 24 hours! Our house sold for £20,000 over the asking price! We were over the moon!Jack Gregory May 08th 2019
Excellent service received. Danny provided regular updates and was knowledgeable in the advice he gave on the letting. I would recommend and use again.Clive April 08th 2019

The support and assistant receive during the purchase was the best I've ever received and I've brought many properties over the past 30 years. I would recommend them to anyone as they was very keen to assist once the sale was agreed. Linda kept me and everyone on their toes and made sure things moved along and nothing stalled in the processes. It was lovely working with them for the purchase of this lovely house.Ash July 10th 2018
Shortland Horne acted in my mother in law's sale. There were extremely proactive in progressing the sale and when the buyer didn't keep to his word on timescales they gave helpful and honest advice on remarketing the property which resulted in a new sale for £50,000 more within a very tight timescale due to an onward purchase. Shortland Horne were approachable, driven and friendly.James G June 29th 2018
We used Shortland Horne to sell my husbands late parents house. They were very helpful, kept us fully informed and updated at every opportunity. Very thorough and efficient.The Derbyshires May 28th 2018

Very professional and supportive service offered to me as a buyer. I was struggling to keep my solicitors working at the right pace, and Charles did lots in the background to keep everything moving.Helen May 03rd 2018
The team at Shortland Horne, especially Will and Laura, showed compassion and understanding to my sister and I whilst we were selling our family home, from the moment they arrived to completion, and would have no hesitation in recommending the company. They made a very stressful time for us both as smooth and as hassle free as possible. Thank youCarol Darby February 21st 2018

All of the staff at Shortland Horne Estate Agents, Walsgrave branch, have been very helpful and friendly throughout our moving process. We would definitely recommend them.Jo January 18th 2018
Answered all my questions and resolved the potential issues swiftly and with courtesy. Overall my purchase went smoothly. Good knowledge and friendly staffKev G January 17th 2018
Excellent service from Sue and Richard. Great communication and negotiations in connection with the sale of my property - highly recommended.Sophie January 17th 2018
Outstanding professional service from the whole team. Shortland Horne Walsgrave recently sold two properties for me. Richard and Sue are experts in their field, having toyed with the idea of using an online only estate agent I'm glad I chose not to. After interviewing other agents, no one else came close with the knowledge and expertise that I was looking for. My properties are my most valuable assets, there is no way I was going to let an agent sell them for me just because their fees were cheap! I paid for a quality service and that's what I got. I cannot fault Shortland Horne one bit, even when my first buyer pulled out, Sue and Richard were able to find me another buyer within a week. I achieved asking price for both of my properties. Excellent job.Miss A January 16th 2018
Highly recommended. They say you get 1 chance to make a 1st impression - and Richard Costello of Shortland- Horne Walsgrave Rd Coventry did exactly that. We had no doubts about placing our trust in him and Shortland-Horne to market & sell our house. Having met Sue a week later simply boosted our belief & confidence that's we'd made the right choice. From start to finish they went above & beyond with their efficiency & courtesy - nothing was ever too much trouble. We could phone or email at any stage & receive a response by return throughout - to include Lauren whom we never met but who was always equally helpfully. Richard & Sue assured us they'd sell our home within a week & they did just that. If only all companies & staff could work to the standards of Shortland-Horne Walsgrave Rd. Thankyou to you all. 10/10 and gold stars.Carol December 15th 2017
Great job from Linda. Kept me informed throughout the process, got onto the solicitors to make sure they weren't dragging the feet and brought everything to a successful conclusion. Many thanks!Mr L Nelan November 23rd 2017
We recently sold our house with Shortland Horne and could not be more pleased with our choice in Estate Agents. From the moment we met Sue I was confident that we would have a smooth sale from start to finish. She assured us a quick sale and delivered with an offer four days later! Throughout the whole process both Sue and Lauren were exceptionally helpful and professional. I would fully recommend Shortland Horne.Naomi A November 20th 2017
Shortland Horne sold my flat very quickly and at a good price by holding an Open Day. They went out of their way to obtain updates and move the matter along when required. I would like to mention Sue, Richard and Angela who are all lovely and very helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend to a friend or family member.Jenna November 16th 2017
Linda is an excellent communicator and keeps clients informed of all aspects even those beyond her role - Linda is an asset to the company and without her expertise and dedication our purchase would not have completed - this agent isn't the least expensive agent out there but.. you get what you pay for so great to deal with. 5 stars *****Mrs D Beckham October 06th 2017
Selling our property through the Walsgrave office working with Richard, Sue and the team made the whole process painfree. They were polite, courteous, professional and very accommodating with regards to any requests e.g. Removing shoes for viewings, blurring our faces in photos, arranging viewings around our availability. They were never once pushy or aggressive. They provided us with key information in relation to any offers and allowed me and my husband to evaluate and make a decision without unnecessary pressure. They whole team were friendly and were always happy to answer any questions etc. Really pleased with the service, advice received and would definitely recommend the team to others.Mr and Mrs Mudhar September 21st 2017
Helped with house purchase Was on top of game all the time making sure purchase went through ok. Definitely recommendBilkhu September 13th 2017
Very quick,efficient service, smart well photographed brochure and well organised viewing appointments. Linda kept us well up to date on progressSue and Clive August 30th 2017
Glad I chose Shortland Horne, Andy was very friendly and efficient. Selling my Mum's house was made very easy and stress free. Andy got me a good price for it and gave good advice. Linda was also a great help keeping me informed and making sure everything progresed quickly.Christine August 23rd 2017
The house I purchased came with a vast array of legal issues, overage clause, executors, amongst some of the problems. It was getting very tiresome and costly going between solicitors. At this point I contacted the agent to try and help mediate between the parties. Having been given the request Charles picked up the baton with relish and was absolutely outstanding with the considerable effort the he contributed. Charles certainly earned his crust with this one.Pat & Keighley August 22nd 2017
From the moment I selected Shortland Horne (Leamington office) to market my property, I knew I was in good hands! Charles Travis and his team have, from the outset, impressed with their local knowledge and personal service. Their professionalism, efficiency and empathy throughout the sale process has been invaluable. I would highly recommend their services.C Amed August 07th 2017
Great service from start to finish, I would highly recommend. Informative, positive and good value. Richard and Lauren were both great can't thank them enoughHelen July 28th 2017
We would very highly recommend Shortland Horne (Walsgrave Road branch). Our property was valued at a high, but achievable price by Sue. Our house sold to the first viewer (thanks Richard) and Lauren was unfailingly professional and competent at answering our many telephone calls and questions during the sale and purchase of our new property. A special mention goes to Angela, who was a real God-send in ironing out the countless hassles along the way, and basically for facilitating the whole transaction! Without her knowledge and perseverance in chasing up builders, solicitors, etc we doubt that the move would have taken place. We would not hesitate to recommend SH to others, and if we ever sell our property in the future we would certainly use SH. Mick and Mandy.Mick and Mandy June 13th 2017
A big thank you to the team at Shortland Horne for making the sale of our family home a quick, easy and stress free process. They were sensitive to our needs, quick, efficient, polite and pleasant and sold the house at the right price to a lovely family. Excellent service.C. Warren June 01st 2017
Really pleased with Richard and the team at walsgrave road branch. Very professional. Would definitely use again. Thank you. Jo :) :) :) :)Jojo May 31st 2017
I highly recommend Shortland Horne we had a fantastic experience with them. Richard and Sue were very friendly and professional and I felt comfortable leaving them to do the viewings alone. Our house sold very quickly due to the 360� virtual tour online. Thank you also to Angela Fenn who seen my sale through to the end. You are a lovely team xLisa Macey May 29th 2017
My experience with regards to valuing and renting my house with Shortland Horne was exceptional. Every member of staff I spoke to was professional, helpful, responsive and I had full confidence my house with in the right hands. I would highly recommend them to any family and friends who are looking for an estate agent who is efficient, professional and extremely warming. I was new to being a landlord and they made the process stressfree and enjoying. Thank you very muchEloise May 26th 2017
The whole experience of selling my property was made simple easy and stress free by choosing Shortland Horne. I would highly recommend them.Catherine Nicholas May 25th 2017
Very good service, answered the calls promptly. If Sue was unavailable Angela was on hand with information. No waiting for a return call. Friendly yet professional. Would definitely recommend this team at this branch. Completely hassle free.Jim Mcginty May 24th 2017
Excellent service. The team were very professional, helpful and supportive. I would highly recommend and would definitely use Shortland Horne in the future.Yvonne May 24th 2017

I'm not about to sit atop Snooty Rock Critic Mountain and declare the 10 absolute best albums of 2009. I've heard but a fraction of the year's releases, plus my tastes are as quirky as yours. Instead, I have assembled a list of 10 albums released during '09 that I fully enjoy — and you might also.
I'm not about to sit atop Snooty Rock Critic Mountain and declare the 10 absolute best albums of 2009. I've heard but a fraction of the year's releases, plus my tastes are as quirky as yours.
Instead, I have assembled a list of 10 albums released during '09 that I fully enjoy — and you might also.
DAN AUERBACH: Keep It Hid. "I just wanted to do the things I loved," Dan Auerbach, multi-talented guitarist-vocalist-songwriter for the Black Keys, said about his first solo album. Recorded in the Rubber City, the record is flat-out terrific, mixing elements of psychedelic fuzz-rock, vintage country, Southern R&B and Delta blues into a timeless brew.
CAGE THE ELEPHANT: Cage the Elephant. I love a good rowdy garage band and these Kentucky boys definitely fit the bill on this fun-filled disc. The rollicking "Ain't No Rest For the Wicked" is the best song the White Stripes didn't release this year.
EELS: Hombre Lobo: 12 Songs of Desire. "Hombre Lobo" is Spanish for wolf-man, and there's definitely some howling and prowling going on here. Rough-hewn rock tunes with distorted vocals and guitars ("Tremendous Dynamite," "Lilac Breeze") alternate with disarmingly lovely melodies ("In My Dreams," "All the Beautiful Things"), delivered with confessional honesty.
GOSSIP: Music For Men. Beth Ditto's feisty, impassioned, tremulous, bluesy vocals are the chief attraction here, whether topping irresistible electro-dance tunes like "Men in Love" and "Pop Goes the World" or the lowdown, guitar-driven "8th Wonder" and "Heavy Cross."
LADY GAGA: The Fame Monster. While her fashion choices tend to baffle me, young and savvy Gaga is making the best dance singles since Madonna. Her debut album "The Fame" (which spawned "Poker Face," "Let's Dance" and "Paparazzi") was a 2008 release but this new eight-song disc, containing the dancefloor epic "Bad Romance," will do fine.
PHOENIX: Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. While I've enjoyed plenty of French food, films and artwork over the years, this kinda-wonderful French pop-rock band comes as surprise. Bright, breezy, bouncy and loaded with hooks, "Lisztomania," "1901," "Lasso" and "Girlfriend" are among 2009's top pop pleasures.
ASHER ROTH: Asleep in the Bread Aisle. It's a shame this sharp-witted white suburban rapper got branded as a one-hit wonder due to his debauched novelty hit "I Love College." To these ears, this inventive hip-hop collection is a mashup of Eminem at his most class-clown and the early Beastie Boys.
WHITE RABBITS: It's Frightening. The second CD from this Brooklyn sextet launches with a wild ride titled "Percussion Gun" and keeps the pace rolling with plenty more catchy, rhythmic indie rock driven by piano, drums and emotive vocals. An outstanding disc produced by Britt Daniel of Spoon.
WILCO: (The Album). Solid melodies, frank lyrics, intimate vocals and stellar musicianship pay off yet again in Wilco's warm and satisfying seventh studio album. Contents range from the poppy fan valentine "Wilco (The Song)" to the atmospheric ballad "Deeper Down" to the guitar-spiked jam "Black Bull Nova," certain to be a concert highlight.
THE XX: The XX. Low-key, hushed and minimalist, this band of U.K. teenagers has crafted a mesmerizing debut. Vocalists Romy and Oliver's call-and-response duet on the slowly building "Crystalised" is haunting and sexy. Throughout this moody CD, the band is casually cool, its articulate guitar riffs and bass lines providing spare background to the hypnotic voices.
BEST CONCERTS I SAW IN 2009 IN OHIO: The Killers, Tower City Amphitheatre; Kings of Leon, Tower City Amphitheatre; Black Keys, Musica; Bob Dylan, Canton Memorial Civic Center; Old Crow Medicine Show, Kent Stage.
CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED BANDS OF 2009 THAT I JUST DON'T GET (AND TRUST ME I HAVE TRIED): Grizzly Bear, Animal Collective, Dirty Projectors.
SOME OTHER NEW ARTISTS OF 2009 THAT I LIKE: Yacht, The Drums, The Juan MacLean, Kid Cudi.
THINGS I'M ALREADY EXCITED ABOUT IN 2010: New January releases by OK Go, Vampire Weekend, Eels and Spoon; March concerts by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and G. Love & Special Sauce.
Dane Kane writes for The Repository in Canton, Ohio.

June 21, 2004Los Angeles — UCLA Anderson's faculty is consistently ranked among the finest in the world. The research conducted and published by UCLA Anderson faculty is among the most often cited in the works of researchers at other institutions. UCLA Anderson students and alumni benefit directly from this work, as the latest innovations and knowledge are passed on from teacher to students who implement these lessons in practical business settings.
In order to maintain and grow this outstanding faculty, a key component of Campaign Anderson is increasing faculty support and endowments.
Eric Juline's favorite professor while in business school taught him more than just the fundamentals of management, he taught him life lessons. In fact, he learned that theory not only reaches beyond the classroom but it enriches business community and allows practitioners to gain a better grasp of their fluctuating world. Having learned such a valuable lesson, Juline was determined to give back to those who trained him to be the business leader he is today — creating the Eric G. Juline Fund — a fund dedicated to providing faculty awards on an annual basis. "I believe in our faculty and the valuable research they provide. That's why I felt it was important to demonstrate in a meaningful way, how their studies still impact my day to day activities."
Juline understands that the foundation and drawing power of any great institution of higher learning is its faculty.
And now we turn to you. To remain competitive, UCLA Anderson must provide funding for the thinkers, innovators, and teachers who define the quality of our academic programs and student body. This, in turn, influences UCLA Anderson's ability to attract top corporate recruiters and other influential members of the business community.
That is why UCLA Anderson is racing to raise the financial resources necessary to provide faculty with highly competitive compensation packages and professional development incentives before the close of our campaign. The fact is that we now lag behind our peers in this area. As a consequence, we risk losing faculty to schools that offer superior salaries and compensation.
Join us in cementing a standard of excellence at UCLA Anderson. Your gift to Campaign Anderson will grow the next generation of business leaders. Remember, every gift counts. For more information about donating to Campaign Anderson faculty initiatives, please contact the Development Office at (310) 206-0639.

Andrew and I celebrated our 2 year "Oregoniversary" this week with a night out in downtown Portland dinner at Cafe Yumm and cocktails at The Original. (Psst, for locals and Yumm Sauce addicts- I just made a Yumm Sauce knock off and will share the recipe soon if Andrew approves it! ) We also celebrated with this decadent tasting cake containing two of Oregon's most abundant edibles : blackberries and hazelnuts. I regretted turning on the oven for the rest of the evening, but the cake really was divine…
Our four day road trip from Illinois to Oregon was one of the most exciting adventures I've had, despite dreading it initially (I hate driving). It's amazing to look back and see how much we have accomplished and how much has changed since we made that blind leap of faith. Honestly, I don't know if I would make such a leap where I am in my life now. But two years ago I was a little younger, a little more desperate, and sporting some rosy, heart shaped lenses that made anything Andrew wanted to do seem like the best choice for me, too. I would have followed him anywhere. Really. I'm lucky he picked Portland 🙂
Anyway… that's enough nostalgia for now! Wanna know how I made this gluten-free, reduced sugar, little gem?
Even though I used blackberries and hazelnuts, you could make this with lots of other combinations if these aren't readily available to you. Cherry-Almond? Peach-Almond? Strawberry-Pistachio? The possiblities are endless.
Blackberry-Hazelnut Meringue Cake
*4 egg whites
*1 cup raw hazelnuts
*1 cup sugar (or use 2/3 cup sugar and 1/3 cup stevia baking mix like I did)
*pinch of salt
*1 cup fresh blackberries
*3/4 cup whipping cream
*1/2 cup greek yogurt
1.) Toast hazelnuts in 350F oven for about 15 minutes, shaking pan every few minutes to ensure even cooking. This will make your house smell amazing by the way! Remove from the oven when fragrant and golden brown, transfer to a dish towel and rub vigorously to remove the skins. Don't fuss if there are a few remaining, but do try to get most off. Let cool, then grind to a powder in a food processor or coffee grinder.
2.) Turn oven down to 300F and line to pans of equal size with parchment paper (I did two loaf pans, because that it the only size pan I have two of, but the original recipe used two 9 inch pie tins). Make your meringue by beating the egg whites and salt until stiff peaks form (you will probably need an electric beater unless you have crazy strong and fast arms). Beat in two tablespoons of the sugar and then fold the rest of the sugar in, two tablespoons at a time. Fold in the ground hazelnuts.
3.) Divide mixture evenly between prepared pans and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, covering with foil if it browns too quickly. Let cool completely on wire racks before assembling cake.
4.) Meanwhile you can prepare the whipped filling by beating the whipping cream (again, bust out that electric mixer for this job) until thick and fluffy. Mix in the greek yogurt by hand and add a touch of sweetener if desired (I used stevia). If you don't have greek yogurt, do NOT use regular yogurt- it will be too runny. You can use all whipping cream (1 1/4 cups) also, I used greek yogurt for the health benefits and slight tang it imparts.
5.) When cake is cool, lay one slice on a large plate and generously frost, then dot with berries. Lay the other half on top and frost and top with more berries. Isn't it pretty? You can eat it now and it will be delicious, but it will be prettier, tastier, and much easier to cut if you let it sit a few hours or overnight in the fridge.
This cake was amazing, but I think if I made it again I would use hazelnut macaroon cookies for the crust and layer it like a berry-licious tiramisu. Doesn't that sound lovely? Now I just need another excuse to make a fancy dessert…
Well I'm off to Mt. Hood with a couple of my clients for work now. It's just a short trip (1 day and one night) and lets hope everything goes smoothly!

Kitchen remodeling can help you restore your kitchen into central space of the house. From conventionally a dungeon-like place to cook and wash dishes to a multi-use action center of the entire family, kitchens have absolutely become a vital part of the modern homes. The homemakers now want to get the best kitchen remodeling done in order to have the best possible in-kitchen experience. Kitchen is after all a place where you have to spend very important time, and good cooking comes with good surroundings.
Kitchen remodeling can be an exceptional mean to add value to your home. It is a very wide topic and consists of many smaller areas. It takes time and planning.
You'll want to make sure you are choosing the right kitchen remodel for your home and your budget. It is important that you research designs from several sources in order to make sure you have found the design that is perfect for your kitchen.
The first kitchen remodeling tilt is to believe the three basic kitchen functions: storage, food preparation, and clean-up. Additional considerations for small kitchens include space-saving built-in appliances at any time possible.
Using Local home improvement contractors gives you the advantage of working with well-informed home improvement experts. The difficulty of a house remodeling project depends upon the room being remodeled, the nature of the work to be done, and the capability of those doing it. Surviving the stress of a major home remodeling project can be a challenge.
For ideas regarding good custom made kitchens try to read up on as many articles and books on kitchen design, architectural style, cabinets, countertops, flooring, faucets and fixtures, as well as lighting. Great kitchen remodeling design takes the harmonization of kitchen design ideas, the assortment of kitchen cabinets, the arrangement of contractors and other professionals, and lastly, the conclusion of exceptional workmanship to create the kitchen of your dreams. In a family, generally everybody has a say in kitchen remodeling ideas because, even if they don't cook, they will spend time in the kitchen eating breakfast and extra meals if the dining table is located in the kitchen.

CD review: Jimmy Needham's Clear the Stage
Jimmy Needham didn't just clear the stage with his new CD by the same name — he cleared his music slate.
Needham, who has been compared with Jack Johnson, reinvents himself on "Clear the Stage" with the help of producer Ed Cash (Chris Tomlin, Laura Story, Aaron Shust). The album includes fun, high-energy music, along with his trademark soulful and thoughtful sound.
The Texas native expands his musical talents with the first track, "I Will Find You" as he mixes it up with rapper LeCrae, who attended George Washington High in Denver. You will find your feet tapping and body gyrating with this tune.
"Stay," featuring Lizi Bailey, is an acoustic duet backed by an orchestra. (I'm a sucker for strings.) Bailey's voice adds a nice dimension to Needham in this love song, a surprise because I would not have imagined these two together.
"My Victory" is a worship song that calls upon the listener to not look back and to live freely in God's grace.
"You are the hope that broke the dark in me.
"You are the light the shines when I can't see.
"You are, you are, you are my victory."
"Rock Bottom" and "In the Middle" melds Needham's rhythm and blues sound with a rap vibe that adds depth to the album.

Apple changed the spec of the ATV (current one), see also other thread:davilla wrote: ↑05 Sep 2017, 16:05I suspect that 1080p HEVC (higher bit rates) will not have an issue under tvOS11 on the ATV4. While FFMpeg does use neon, it is not the most optimal implementation.
I would expect that Apple's sw implementation of HEVC would perform much better. Plus under videotoolbox, frames would be decoded direct to ioSurfaces and this would skip one copy of the frame plus upload to GPU as a gles texture. This step saves some CPU/neon time. Seeing the positive results of other Apps that have taken the tvOS11 HEVC step, this is a very safe bet.
But 4k HEVC would still be difficult under the ATV4's A8. This is where the new ATV5 would shine. I suspect that Apple 'could' do hw decode on ATV4 but since it can only display 1080p, there's not much reason for it plus they need something to promote the move to ATV5s
ATV5 aka ATV 4k
H.264/HEVC SDR video up to 2160p, 60 fps, Main/Main 10 profile
HEVC Dolby Vision (Profile 5)/HDR10 (Main 10 profile) up to 2160p
ATV4 (current one)
HEVC SDR up to 1080p, 30 fps, Main/Main 10 profile
H.264 video up to 1080p, 60 fps, High or Main Profile level 4.2 or lower
So looks like the ATV4 via hardware decode can do main 10 for 1080p30.
For 4k at 60 fps .. both HEVC and H.264 buy a new one.
Now when can MrMMC support the new tvOS 11 APIs ?

Ian Martin redesigns the world
MONDAY To Celebrity Space Slam. It's being held this year in a temporary bubble pavilion, or 'pavibubblion' as we must learn to call it.
The pavibubblion has been inflated, with some difficulty, inside the upstairs function room of a Shoreditch pub. As it's a charity event nobody's too critical of the celebrities' genuinely stupid ideas, barked into a fawning crowd of overdressed berks.
JK Rowling slams a monologue about a floating library without newspapers. Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy mumbles a sonnet to a nationalised food bank, where 'filo money and quince ingots be'. Benedict Cumberbatch declaims what might have been a moving little hymn to an imagined concrete poetry tower, but by then both the pavilion and the audience have partially collapsed.
TUESDAY Redesign the Isle of Grain, giving it a contemporary slow-release energy vibe
WEDNESDAY I find myself with a few days entirely free of work, so resolve to redesign the world.
It's worth thinking really big once in a while.
It nourishes the ego AND earns valuable 'dreaming for humanity' points on Twitter. That reminds me: must remember to hashtag any thoughts. And have the hashtag protected as intellectual copyright. And have everything I've just said sealed up in a hyperinjunction.
THURSDAY In the morning, bring Europe and Africa closer together with a huge Photoshopped Bridge of Possibilities. Bang. Right across the Strait of Gibraltar.
This bridge is not just theoretical, it's inhabited. Lots of men in 21st Century clothes clutching 21st Century gadgets, but with fashionable 1950s haircuts. Which is ironic, as an utterly changed world full of men with 1950s haircuts is EXACTLY what the future looked like in the 1950s.
My Photoshopped Bridge of Possibilities will be teeming with women, too. Women in cardigans and gender-irrelevant work clothes and suits of armour. Memo to Self: maybe put in little speech bubbles saying things like 'save the bees' and 'fuck the patriarchy'. That stuff goes down really well with the sort of macho liberal men who devise theoretical design competitions.
Any bridge is more than simply an elevated road over an obstacle. A bridge linking Europe and Africa must transcend engineering itself. It should soar without hauteur. Find common ground between culturally diverse continents.
It must 'sing' without 'wobbling'.
I reckon the bridge would be about 10 miles long, so choosing an appropriate material is top of my list. I'm going for adumbrated carbon, something I just made up which has the toughness of steel and the flexibility of a medium rare steak. The bridge will perform a shallow 'w' as I've now decided the central support will be built on top of an underwater mountain which, when squinted at, has more than a hint of Atlantis about it.
'Morocco to Spain and back again in a day'. That's one of the slogans for my Photoshopped Bridge of Possibilities. Others are 'Eurafrica: A New Bivalve of Hope' and 'Afro-European Leisure Investments®'.
FRIDAY Pushing on selflessly with my comprehensive global redesign. Still exhausted from the bridge, so I turn my mind to the more soothing non-material world. Through the medium of drivelly pencil scratchings and images harvested from a search for 'tossers in coffee shop' I map out a New Geography. Land masses are divided not by archaic national boundaries but by download speed frontiers. Fast and Slow Korea have never seemed further apart.
I propose a Universal Cloud to enable some sort of Global Spring (details not important at this stage) and massive overscaled self-cooling routers marching across the Pyrenees like gormless silos (get some signature architects to design them, they'll look brilliant, or grotesque, same thing really). Also, why not harness the natural social network of biology itself by infusing chlorophyll with wifi?
It's all about the connectivity, as EM Forster would have said if he'd had access to Wikipedia before World War. I
SATURDAY Five-a-zeitgeist theoretical football. Incandescent Non-Contextualism 3, Compassionate Neo‑Fabianism 0 after extra height.
SUNDAY Reflections in the recliner. Conclude that the world really is a shambolic mess. Maybe a retrofit just won't do it. Tear down and rebuild, or push on with my masterplan for a relocation to somewhere else in the galaxy?
Perhaps to create truly epic space we need to turn the Ascent of Us into some sort of space epic, I muse, before nodding off again.
