In the Getting a Job episode of the Abbott and Costello Show, the comedy starts quickly as Bud Abbott has gotten a job at a bakery, making loaves of bread, leading to their classic "Loafing" routine. Afterwards, Bud decides to get Lou Costello a job — after looking in on their pet chimp Bingo, who throws wet rags at Lou.
Soon, Lou is trying to deliver hats to the Susquehanna Hat Company on Floogle Street — another classic routine, where strangers on the street — as well as Bud and Stinky (Joe Besser) destroy them one at a time. This version has a funny ending, as each person punches a hole in the straw hat, but Lou hands the final hat to Stinky — a metal Army helmet that Stinky tries to punch through!
Since Lou now owes money for all those hats, his pal Bud is determined to find him another job … and so he stops the first well-dressed man that he sees, to see if he can get a job at wherever the man works. After listening to Lou's impassioned plea, the first man informs him that he's off to purchase a new battery for his hearing aid! The second man he asks complains about the job he has, and Lou agrees with him — and so the man's wife appears, and starts to beat up Lou for encouraging her husband to quit his job!
So, it's off to the Field's Employment Agency, where Sid Fields (in a wig) is hiring a man for a one-night event for fifty dollars — but it costs the man fifty-three dollars in deductions! Soon, Bud and Lou walk in, having decided to act as though they don't need a job, and start insulting the man non-stop. After some very funny slapstick with the various items in the audience, Mr. Fields gives Lou a verbal dressing down, and throws them both out, and then calls for a janitorial service to come and clean up the mess. Bud and Lou walk in, kindly and oozing of politeness. Mr. Fields: "What can I do for you boys?" Lou: "You can drop dead! We got a job across the hall!" and after a moment of slapstick with their hats, they exit!
And, with a closing joke, the episode is over. Getting a Job is a very funny episode of The Abbott and Costello Show, and is highly recommended.

News from Nick Petrie for June 2016
Rhody Bashing on the west shore of Windermere
The woodlands of High Furness have had a long history of charcoal production dating back at least to the 13th century. The 17th century saw an increase in demand for charcoal from the Iron Industry and much of the woodland along the west shore of Windermere was managed for its production up to the mid 19th century.
Charcoal was burned on site in turf mounds situated on charcoal burning platforms or 'pitsteads'. These were large flat clearings made within the woods, either earthen or stone built. Over 250 of these pitsteads, along with 'collier paths' - tracks for the transportation of the underwood and charcoal to and from production sites, can still be seen throughout the woods around Claife.
One such wood, Pate Crag Coppice, was a working coppice from at least the 17th century through to the early early 20th. In the years since its coppice stools have grown into impressive multi-stemmed trees. But the woods have also suffered an invasion of rhododendron which now threaten this historic woodland.
A non-native invasive species, rhododendron prevents native flora from growing due to its dense evergreen shade. It colonises an area through stem layering and by producing millions of seeds, and is difficult to remove thanks to its 'tenacity of life', making it the bane of conservationists.
Much work has been done by the rangers in recent years to remove rhododendron and improve woodland flora and bio-diversity. But the successful eradication of rhododendron requires a programme of managed removal, monitoring and control over a number years - aka Rhody Bashing.
Rhododendron in Pate Crag Coppice.
No rhododendron in Pate Crag Coppice.
As part of Volunteers' Week (1-12 June) a group of 8 members from the South Lakes Volunteer Group joined us on a bright, hot Tuesday morning for a day of Rhody Bashing at Pate Crag Coppice. Led by Richard, our Woodland Ranger, and armed with bow saws, loppers, flapjack and lots of water we set off from the lakeside track over the steep and sometimes slippery terrain of the woods to one of the pitsteads that would serve as our base for the day.
There are several ways to tackle rhododendron. You can pull up the seedlings by the roots, dry the roots and snap the stem; saw off branches at the base and treat the stump with herbicide; spray the leaves with herbicide where there is no risk of over-spray effecting surrounding flora or contaminating a watercourse; or use mechanical flailing.
Given our number and the size of the near by rhodies, plus the steepness of the terrain and potential risk of over-spray, our method of choice was to cut and saw the branches down to the stump. We left about a foot standing with a few leaves sticking up to act as a flag. This is to help locate the stump and treat it with herbicide at a later date. The cut branches were then piled up ready to be burned. Yes, just what you need on a hot, sweaty day with no breeze. A fire. Luckily one of our number was an ex-fireman more than happy to get the fire going.

In a manner one can only imagine was similar to those who worked these woods for charcoal in years gone by we formed an effective production line from shrub to fire. One or two small groups where based up slope cutting off branches then lobbing or dragging them down slope to the charcoal platform. Another group cut up the pile of branches into smaller manageable stacks while the final group fed and managed the fire. In this fashion we cleared all the rhody sites we hoped to in good time.
Where the rhododendron once stood was now an expanse of bare ground. A reminder of just how damaging to the habitat it can be.

The fire can be seen down slope in the background.

Light gets through and new life grows again.
Rhododendron ponticum was present in Britain in previous interglacials but didn't re-colonise here in the post-glacial. Native to parts of southern Europe it was (re)introduced to Britain in 1763 and became abundant throughout the 18th and 19th centuries as an ornamental plant and as game cover. It has now widely naturalised. Particularly on acid soils and in shaded woodland.
It damages the habitat it invades by dominating the area. It spreads laterally through branch layering creating its dense, impenetrable growth which prevents light from getting to other species. Its leaves and buds contain toxic chemicals making it unpalatable to grazing animals. These chemicals may also act as an inhibitor to the growth of competing species further adding to its domination. Its honey is poisonous to humans and bees. It can be a host for fungal pathogen Phytophthora.
Where the native flora ceases to be so too do the animals which live off the flora and hence the animals that live of those animals and so on leaving the area virtually barren of all life except the rhododendron. Even in woodland, where trees can exist above its dense shade, no new saplings can seed. So as the existing trees die off only the rhododendron will remain.
Such tenacity makes eradication costly, labour intensive and time consuming. Even after removing existing growth and treating with herbicides the millions of tiny seeds that are produced each year are easily spread far and wide by the wind making regrowth highly likely. A site needs to to be revisited over successive years to repeatedly control the regrowth before the site can be declared free of rhododendron.
Yet, despite all this, in its exotic form the bright flowers and twisted branches can look quite spectacular.

But back to the bashing...
A new day, a new site and a new volunteer group.
Volunteers from a group formed by the Windermere Reflections project joined us at Wray Castle. Ornamental rhododendron can be seen lining the edge of woodland around the Wray estate, however, invasions further into the woods once again threaten the habitat.
There's rhody in there somewhere.
The rhody here were smaller and more dispersed than at Pate Crag. The difficulty, however, was in getting to them through the overgrown ferns and brambles.
The site had recently seen some rhody bashing and piles of dried branches were lying waiting for us to put them on the fire. Again, luckily, we had a retired fireman amongst us to help manage the fire. This was important as we had no 'ready made' fire site like the charcoal burning platforms. Instead we cleared a suitable area of ferns, with paths to and from the site, where a small controlled fire could be set and managed.

Like the day before the team worked efficiently cutting, treating, dragging and burning, despite the hot weather, until the thunder storm came and we all retreated to the castle for a well earned cup of tea.
Rain stops play.
As the rain subsided we returned to tidy up and pile the un-burned branches ready for the next visit.
Stumps treated with pesticide.

Both sites will need to be revisited on several more occasions over the coming years before the work is complete. Such is the ongoing task of Rhody Bashing.
A huge thanks to all the volunteers from South Lakes Volunteer Group and Windermere Reflections for all their hard work in taking us one step closer to having rhody-free woodland.
A big HELLO from Eve
Hello! My name is Eve and I am the new friendly face you will see here around Tarn Hows. I have recently finished university at Liverpool and have moved back up north to join the team, here at Boon Crag, as an Assistant Ranger at Tarn Hows for the next few months. Having been here for a grand total of 7 days now, I have already been involved in a range of work including assisting on guided walks, ending with free tea and cake, visiting our property's sites in the sun and doing a variety of practical work around Tarn Hows- not too bad ey?!
A lovely view over Tarn hows early in the morning.
Born and bred in Cumbria, I love the outdoors and have a passion for nature. Therefore, I see myself very lucky to have landed a job in such a beautiful place and a great location as to Tarn Hows. I will be here to ensure a very warm welcome to many of the 300,000 visitors that come to Tarns Hows each year, and I will be helping to maintain and conserve this incredible site. I will be helping to manage our off-road mobility vehicles as well as keeping the area looking at its best.
Me at my new office!
Tarn Hows has bags of history and it is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The tarn is fed by a series of valley and basin mires, a nationally rare and protected habitat, which supports rare aquatic plant species and invites a diverse range of wildlife to the area. Future management work may involve removing some trees to encourage growth of aquatic plants. Ancient woodland, also a nationally protected habitat, can be found of the south-west side of the tarn, rich with bryophytes and lichens. The tarn is also surrounded by old larch plantations, acid grasslands and areas of heathland. It's a very diverse place with lots to see! I will be leading enjoyable walks around the tarn and surrounding area, (hopefully) filling your heads with lots of knowledge about the management, history and wildlife that can be found here and I am very much looking forward to it.
Yellow Flag Iris currently in bloom by the side of the tarn.
Orchid found at the edge of the basin mere by the tarn. You may be lucky to see one!
I hope to develop visitor experience by offering a range of new public activities for everyone to get involved in to learn about wildlife, biodiversity conservation and the specific work the National Trust does. This may include mini-beast hunts and bird watching. But it's all early days yet!!
Musings on the 8th World Ranger Congress
Back in April, in my previous blog I'd written about how I was heading to the World Ranger Congress in Estes Park, Colorado. What a fantastic experience. I couldn't possibly describe everything I did, all the inspirational people I met or all the things I learnt in one blog so I hope I've managed to capture the essence of the congress for you.
Estes Park YMCA was to be our home for the week. A beautiful backdrop of the Rocky Mountains.
I was honoured and inspired to have been chosen to represent the National Trust and the UK while learning about the war on poaching in Africa, how to connect the disconnected in the US national parks, how much of our terrestrial and oceanic environments has some form of protected area status and how we should protect much more, fire management in Australia and the campaign for better funding and health and safety standards in Asia.
Multi-nation flag parade including Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Norway and Kyrgyzstan.
On day one, all the countries represented paraded their uniforms and flags (there were 65 countries in all!). This culminated in a reading of the names of the 60 rangers to have died in service since the last World Ranger Day. A moment to be proud of the ranger profession but also to reflect on the dangers that some rangers face in the course of their work.
Reading out the names of the 60 rangers who have died since the last World Ranger Day, July 31st 2015
The congress was a strong reminder of why the work we do is so important, not just for nature but also for the human race. It was also a reminder of how small the problems are we face here in the UK can seem in comparison to protecting endangered species from poaching or communities from crocodiles. Some of the rangers I met are working in far less fortunate situations than my own. Some don't receive the regular pay we all receive or even have a basic uniform or safety gear (There was a ranger relief collection to donate old bullet proof vests, uniforms and outdoor gear to those in need). However different it all seems, we are all fighting the same fight – protecting special places.
All 320 delegates with the Rocky Mountains as a backdrop
Sean Wilmore, the (newly re-elected) president of the International Ranger Federation highlighted how the 320+ rangers at the congress each represented 1000 rangers across the world. I really felt part of a big ranger family, especially now I have so many contacts around the world. Can you spot the National Trust rangers in red in the group shot? Chris Wood (from the North York Moors) and myself represented the National Trust's North region.
The Countryside Management Association Delegates - including 5 National Trust representatives from around England and Wales
The congress contained a series of very interesting talks, thought-provoking presentations and plenty of time to get to know our fellow rangers. Many of these talks would take a blog each to describe. One particularly inspiring talk was by ranger Christian Mbina of Gabon: "It is not a fight to save Africa. It is a fight to save the world." National Park Service director, Jonathan Jarvis, also gave a frank and heartfelt talk about the American National Park System - 'How do we engage the disconnected in our National Parks?' They are the future. Conservationist Harvey Locke, gave a talk thanking rangers for their important work and described his nature needs half theory - how we should protect more of planet earth.
Ranger Christian Mbina of Gabon. He said his name badge should not say he is from Gabon, but from the world.
National Park Service director, Jonathan Jarvis
Obviously a gathering of rangers would not be complete without plenty of fun too. Everyone brought parts of their cultures with them, the Brazilians brought their amazing dancing, the Russian's brought some interesting spirits, the British brought Yorkshire Tea....There was plenty of live music, a swap shop for patches and pins (I've now got quite a collection!) as well as daily raffles with prizes donated from ranger's protected areas (I wasn't lucky this time). I took part in a field trip to Gem Lake in the Rocky Mountains National Park with the local rangers. It was great to get out of a conference room for a day!
This was my first protected area gathering and I really hope it won't be my last. The next WRC9 is in Nepal in 2019. I have started saving already.
Please check out the 8th World Ranger Congress YouTube channel to hear some of these inspirational talks, I particularly recommend the ones by Shelton Johnson, Harvey Locke and Jonathan Jarvis.
The Association of National Park Rangers in the US did a fantastic job of organizing and hosting the congress. This was in collaboration with the 100 year centennial of the US National Park Service.
Trees and mountains, rather like home!

National Security reporter focusing on Congress
Senate Republicans moved swiftly Thursday toward confirming Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett before the Nov. 3 elections, as the hearings for President Trump's third pick to the court concluded with her emerging largely unscathed.
GOP senators on the Judiciary Committee set up an Oct. 22 vote on her nomination, despite procedural protests from Democrats. Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said he would begin the full Senate consideration of Barrett's nomination on Oct. 23 and confidently declared that his GOP majority, which he is at the risk of losing in next month's elections, had enough support to confirm her.
"We have the votes," McConnell said as he voted early in Kentucky on Thursday.
The installment of a third Supreme Court pick in just under four years would amount to a monumental accomplishment for Trump and Senate Republicans, who would help solidify a 6-3 conservative majority on the court for years to come. If confirmed, Barrett, 48, would be the youngest justice on the court.
But that achievement may come at a cost, as Democrats predicted a voter backlash against the GOP for confirming a conservative whose jurisprudence is the polar opposite of liberal icon Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died last month.
Citing her past statements and writings, Democrats repeatedly warned that Barrett could be a vote to overturn the landmark decision guaranteeing a woman's right to an abortion, may undermine same-sex marriage and could put key health-care protections at risk.
Leadership aides declined to lay out a precise floor timeline for Barrett, but the schedule McConnell mentioned hints at a procedural vote on her nomination sometime Monday, Oct. 26, and a final confirmation vote that Tuesday. Republicans control 53 votes in the Senate, and two are expected to oppose Barrett — Sens. Susan Collins (Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) — because they did not support holding a confirmation vote for a justice so close to Election Day.
But even with resistance from Collins and Murkowski — and with the latter not having specifically said whether her opposition to the proceedings would equal a "no" vote — Republicans still appeared to have ample support to install Barrett by month's end. Sen. Mitt Romney (Utah) announced late Thursday he would vote to confirm Barrett.
Judge Barrett's writing criticizes the Supreme Court decision upholding Obama-era health law
So Democrats instead focused on making the political case against Barrett, centered primarily on health care and the Nov. 10 oral arguments on the fate of the Affordable Care Act that Barrett is all but certain to be seated in time to hear. The case is California v. Texas.
"Judge Barrett as Justice Barrett may well cast the deciding vote to overturn the Affordable Care Act, with potentially disastrous consequences for a majority of Americans," Sen. Christopher A. Coons (D-Del.) said Thursday. Referring to the Supreme Court case, Coons added: "President Trump and his administration are arguing in no uncertain terms the court must tear down the entire law," and its protections for those with preexisting medical conditions.
Even Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), the committee's chairman who is in a hotly contested reelection race, acknowledged the electoral risk facing his own party, telling Democrats at one point: "Y'all have a good chance at winning the White House."
During her nearly 20 hours of testimony over two days, Barrett declined to share her legal views on abortion rights, health care, voting rights, immigration, presidential power and climate change, seeking to separate her academic writings from how she might rule if confirmed.
In rebuffing Democrats, she left them exasperated.
"I'd be afraid to ask her about the presence of gravity on Earth," Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) said Thursday.
Democrats also criticized the GOP for muscling through a nominee so close to the election when millions of Americans are voting, with the rancor over Republicans blocking President Barack Obama's choice of Merrick Garland in 2016 still palpable.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) raised the possibility of payback if Democrats win the Senate.
"Don't think that when you have established the rule of 'Because we can,' that should the shoe be on the other foot, you will have any credibility to come to us and say, 'Yeah, I know you can do that but you shouldn't,' " Whitehouse said.
Yet the four-day proceedings and the Democrats' stewardship of them produced internal divisions within the party about how aggressive the senators should have fought Barrett's confirmation, which was a steep uphill from the start considering Republicans control the votes, the committee and the floor.
One particular target of ire by the left was Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee who has long been distrusted by liberals. At the conclusion of the hearing, she thanked Graham for how he led the proceedings, and the two maskless senators hugged — amid a pandemic.
"This has been one of the best Senate hearings I have participated in," Feinstein told Graham in an exchange gleefully promoted by Senate Republicans. "Thank you for your fairness and opportunity of going back and work. It leaves one with a lot of hopes."
Demand Justice, a liberal advocacy group focused on the judiciary, on Thursday called on Feinstein to step down as the panel's top Democrat. If she won't do so voluntarily, then other Democratic senators needed to intervene, the group said.
"She has undercut Democrats' position at every step of this process, from undermining calls for filibuster and court reform straight through to thanking Republicans for the most egregious partisan power grab in the modern history of the Supreme Court," said Brian Fallon, the group's executive director who is a former top aide to Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.).
Feinstein said Democrats were limited in what they could accomplish with the GOP in control. "When Republicans signaled they'd move ahead in the face of all objections, the only thing we could do was show this nominee would radically alter the court, and we accomplished that," she said, adding that she would vote against confirmation.
To Democrats' frustration, GOP predicts clear sailing as Barrett testimony ends
The final day of Barrett's confirmation hearings played out much like the previous three: Republicans aiming to prove her eminent qualifications to be a justice, while Democrats attempted to portray what they said would amount to a significant rollback of health care protections, gun restrictions and abortion rights if Barrett were confirmed.
One of the strongest testimonials for Barrett's confirmation came from Laura Wolk, the first blind woman to clerk on the Supreme Court and a former student of the judge.
Testifying in person, Wolk described how she initially struggled academically at Notre Dame Law School because she relied on assistive technology that never materialized because of bureaucratic obstacles. Wolk said she spoke to Barrett, who told her: "This is no longer your problem. This is my problem."
Wolk said she got the special technology that enabled her to succeed at law school and led to her clerkship on the Supreme Court.
"Those who have had the benefit of knowing Amy Coney Barrett understand that she possesses a boundless font of energy and a radical sense of love that she is ever ready to pour out," Wolk said, adding, "Judge Barrett will serve this country with distinction."
Democrats also put forward witnesses with similarly emotional testimonies, but in trying to make the case against confirming Barrett, currently a judge on the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.
An abortion rights advocate who terminated her pregnancy as a teenager testified how being able to obtain an abortion helped pave the way for a life that now includes three children and a career as a small-business owner.
Crystal Good is a West Virginia woman who, at 16, was granted a special court order to get an abortion without parental consent. She told senators that she had been sexually assaulted for years by her stepfather as a child and that because of the years of abuse she did not feel comfortable trying to get permission from her mother when she got pregnant.
"Who I am today is only possible because at 16 years old I had access to an abortion," Good said. "President Trump has been clear that he would appoint justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade. Unfortunately, through learning about Judge Barrett's record, I understand why the president believes she passes that test."
Officials from an independent committee from the American Bar Association also detailed how Barrett earned a "well-qualified" rating to sit on the court. Pamela Roberts, a Columbia, S.C., lawyer who helped lead the evaluation, read to the committee some descriptions of the outside input the ABA received on Barrett — including "whip smart," an "intellectual giant with people skills and engaging warmth" and "without question, the smartest student I've ever taught" from a former professor.
Because of the pandemic that significantly reduced the number of people who could participate in person, the energy of the opposition against Barrett seemed much less palpable than that of Trump's two previous nominees to the Supreme Court.
A few dozen demonstrators from liberal advocacy groups gathered outside the Hart Senate Office Building on Thursday, waving signs that read "Save Roe" and "No confirmation without inauguration." Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), one of a handful of Democratic senators who spoke to the protesters during a hearing break, urged them to make their voices heard.
"We've got to turn fear into fight," Booker said. "It's time to mobilize."
Amy Coney Barrett, Trump's Supreme Court nominee
President Trump has nominated federal appellate judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Barrett testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week. The committee has formally set a panel to vote on her nomination for Oct. 22.

Mercy does not obliterate grief, however much it may soften its hard blow. I am thankful that the cruel hand of age no longer clutches at him, but to finish that sentence without qualification proves impossible.
Perhaps the greatest mercy in this moment is that what I find flooding over me are the not recriminations or the disappointments that burdened me for years, but the memories of a sweet, sweet man, for my father was a man of personality and charm before he dwindled into shadow. Shadows stripped away, I find myself reckoning with how deeply I am my father's daughter. Suddenly, rather than associating him with the things I hate most about myself– cowardice in the face of confrontation, quickness to be moved to tears, the temptation to practice peace at all costs even when the cost is one's own well-being–I am realizing that he planted the seeds of my most formative and abiding loves within me. I am more deeply indebted to him than I ever recognized, much less told him.
My father used to say that my sisters got our brains from our mother and our looks from him. That was one of his frequent quips, alongside his impish exhortation to "Give me a kiss and I'll forgive you" when he made a mistake of some sort or the other. Yet, however much he saw our mother in us, however much she was a force of nature, it is to my father that I owe my adoration of language and story. Yes, my mother would send me to the dictionary and I'd get lost there, but it was William Henry Smith who inspired me with that insatiable hunger for the just the right word. That, at least, was the lesson that I took away from the dinner table at the age of five when he shook a bottle of slightly cemented ketchup until it could be cajoled from the bottle and then explained the dance from coagulated goopiness to liquid and then back to goopiness as thixotropy. Ketchup was thixotropic.
Thixotropic. Callooh! Callay! She chortled in her joy.
Both my parents read to my sisters and I as children, but my father spun us his own stories as well. Every daughter had her own stories. Mine were the adventures of Baby Ruth and her father. They went hiking and encountered rattlesnakes. They saw wolves. They shared the outdoors my father loved, but had so little time to spend in.
As my memory leapfrogs to showing him pictures last summer of the caves in Mammoth National Park where my sisters and I puttered happily and deliriously around for a few days, I realize that love too is part of his daughters' shared inheritance: his wondering, curious love for nature and her mysteries. Even as I write this I foresee that grieving my father will be rather like writing a thank-you note with a thousand post-scripts.
That I never told him how I owe my greatest loves to him is to me a greater regret than the fact that I have not sent him anything I've written for years, or that I have not shared my life with him in any meaningful way for years. To share nothing of any meaning was easier than trying to speak of hard truths, especially when my father's loss of hearing required speaking loudly. Some truths have a best-by date. Spoken thereafter, they are merely hurtful and serve no good purpose. To yell them is impossible.
Still, I could have, and I wish that I had, thanked him for the good loves even if I'd had to shout it. Love is always worth remembering. Always worth speaking.
Aside from the morally questionable game of "If I could steal one thing" that I play in museums, I tend to go through them fantasizing about putting irreverent Post-It notes up hither and thither. Knowing that museums tend to frown on that, I do not, of course, do it. Still, I think it would be a very interesting social experiment to see how people engaged with non-official, humorous commentary. Would they take them down in disgust? Post their own if they could in response? Methinks it would be an amusing experiment, but we shall, alas, never know.
Being in New York for a few days, I am doing the rounds of small museums built by American industrialists. Yesterday it was the Frick, today the Morgan Pierpont for the one and only U.S. stop for Tolkien: Maker of Middle Earth. So, before I head for the day, I thought I'd post the "Post-Its" that I couldn't put up in the Frick.
This spring, the fashion forward woman will be matching her hair to her feather. Ladies, this is de rigueur.
And now, if I could steal one thing….
The girl's first thoughts upon spotting the creature were rather uncharitable.
"What abominable posture that creature has!" she thought, and while she was not wrong, such a judgemental attitude hardly befitted a budding natural historian.
Perhaps the girl could not be blamed too much for her reaction. She had, after all, been brought up to be able to set a formal dining table with books on her head. That particular talent bestowed no virtue in and of itself, of course, but it did tend to make her very observant of all kinds of backbones (or the lack thereof).
When the creature turned cautiously towards her, the girl could hardly blame the beast for its disheartened stance. Everything about the creature reminded her of horseshoes if horseshoes were soft and squishy as jelly. Or life-preservers if all the life had been kicked out of them. Or perhaps travel pillows which are always and forever disappointing. The only thing that didn't remind her of such things was the creature's stomach, and that was the worst part. For a moment, the girl just stared. She couldn't help herself despite being raised to know better than to stare and being able to set the Sunday dinner table with books on her head.
"That explains everything," thought the girl with a shake of her head, sitting down to quickly sketch, for the creature was so skittish she thought it might waddle away at any moment if she tried to get any closer.
Indeed, it was only because she didn't approach that the creature remained where it was, skittishly watching her. The girl couldn't blame it. Any creature with a dotted line running from chin to belly, belly to tail tip would naturall y be wary of oncoming traffic of any sort, however pedestrian. After a bit, when the beast seemed well and truly satisfied that the girl was going to remain on her haunches fiddling with paper and pencil, it decided to investigate her. Since the creature was extremely slow and clumsy and did not so much waddle as list dangerously from one side to another and then back again, the girl actually began to feel motion sick as she watched its progress.
All the girl's best attempts to engage the creature in conversation went flat as a tire, but then, what can one justly expect of a creature with road markings down its front and spur-like spikes down its back? Thus, the beast's genus and species would have to remain a mystery until the girl encountered a more loquacious specimen. Indeed, she considered it a triumph to have gotten the creature's name out of it.
One of my favorite games to play in museums is: "If I could steal one thing…." It goes without saying that my friends who actually work in museums do not approve of this game (although I do manage on occasion to cajole them into joining in). It goes further without saying that I have never and would never do such a thing. It's a game for focusing the senses.
The blame for this morally dubious pastime rests at the base of the pedestal of a fascinating astrolabe in the one of the Vatican Museums. Mmm hmm. Yup. That's where it all started: an old astrolabe. If you're thinking that's an odd choice to make out of the entirety of the Vatican Museum, then all I have to say is, your imagination is free to purloin whatsoever it chooses.
Back in 2011 when visiting the Musée de Cluny-Musée national du Moyen Âge, my "one thing" policy was seriously tested by their exhibition on the mythology and use of the sword. Finally, I narrowed it down to one manuscript illustrating combat techniques. Did I let myself get distracted by unique pommels? I did not. I'll just take the manuscript, thank you. Did I fall for decorative incising down various handsome blades? Nope. Just the manuscript, please. In such cases, exhibition catalogues are generally how I reconcile myself to leaving things where they belong. So. the absolute non-existence of such a catalogue compounded my pain and agony a hundredfold. I had to make do with postcards and magnets of the manuscript. MAGNETS. There were not enough Sidecars in the whole of Paris to get me over that heartbreak.
Still nursing my disappointment (and perhaps a slight headache from those Sidecars), I made a pilgrimage to the Higgins Armory Museum in Worchester, MA upon my return, hoping to find solace in wandering the halls of armor, swords, pikestaffs, arquebuses, hauberks, and the like. While the displays included no manuscripts on sword fighting, in the gift shop I found The Medieval Art of Swordsmanship: a Facsimile and Translation of Europe's Oldest Personal Combat Treatise, Royal Armouries MS.I.33. I suspect that my calloohs, callays, and chortles of joy were matched by those of the clerk in the gift shop who rang up my purchases that day. My many, many book purchases.
Within the pages of this particular gem are color facsimiles of a late 13th – early 14th-century manuscript on sword fighting wherein a priest in clerical robes (hood down) instructs a male student (hood up) and occasionally a woman, demonstrate a variety of offensive and defensive moves. While transcriber and translator Jeffrey Forgeng's work is a serious work, worthy of the serious institution at which he and I did our doctorates (although at different times), I am entirely frivolous and will to leave it to readers to pick up the book (well worth it) and read the manuscript details (very interesting indeed) and textual details (cautionary).
Below I share only a few of my favorite "teaching moments".
P.S. The Higgins Armory is no more, at least not as a private institution. The collection was acquired by the Worchester Museum where it is well worth visiting.

Days like today make me feel like I bought my brains at a used car lot without digging through the CARFAX listing carefully enough. Not nearly carefully enough.
I am currently prepping to teach a class on Middle English literature. Consequently, I've been happily submerging myself in scholarship that I haven't touched for ages; lining my proverbial ducks in their tidy, proverbial little rows; and then steadily, albeit proverbially, shooting them dead. I was happily knocking off books when it happened. Let me emend that. It happened again, for the third time in as many days.
"I think so," answer I, toddling over to my burdened and benighted bookshelves.
one of the aforementioned burdened and benighted bookshelves.
I was sold. Irony, the macabre, literary irreverence, and an abusive eagle. Who doesn't want to read that? Of course, I should have read it before now (what kind of medievalist am I?!), but I assured myself that you can't read everything. Better late than never and all that.
So, I levered the House of Fame off my shelves and opened it–just to bookmark it, mind you. I sure as heck don't have time to read it now, but when the semester is over…. And that's when it happened. AGAIN. There on the page before me were the tiny markings of my own marginalia. It was unmistakably my writing and my writing is unmistakable.
At least, so I assume from the fact that people always feel an uncontrollable urge to comment upon it. Countless are the times that I have been told that my writing is illegible. It's not illegible. It's small. Alright, fine. It's tiny, but tiny ≠ illegible. This purported illegibility has been hammered home both gently (and un-) by everyone from examiners in grad school to my own sweet kith and kin. Adding insult to injury (hammering hurts, fyi), my writing been compared to everything from Sanskrit to the tracks of panicked field mice. For my part, I do not consider it unreasonable to expect people to have magnifying glasses on hand. Preparation is half the battle in life.
Besides, illegibility is not the point. The point is that I'd very clearly read the damned House of Fame before, thoroughly too by the looks of it, and yet I had no memory of it whatsoever.
Mad or senile. As I'm too young for either, both are equally discombobulating. Time shall, I suppose, tell. In the meantime, I'm going to start shopping around for new brains, and I'm reading the fine print this time before putting my money down. I may be forgetful, but I'm good with fine print.
 Of course, I don't speak to myself in the third person. First person is entirely sufficient. Just humor us. Me. I mean, me.

Usually when the girl recorded an unusual creature in her field notes, it is was a creature. Four legs. Claws. Snout. That manner of thing. After meeting Robert Schapper, however, the girl decided that restricting her field notes to beasts had been rather narrow-minded of her. As a specimen, Robert was so utterly unremarkable as to be moderately fascinating.
"All field notes should include at least one study in contradictions," said the girl as she sketched quietly. So far as she was concerned, the fact that her thoughts had juxtaposed 'utterly' and 'moderately' together, and then 'unremarkable' and 'fascinating' meant the Robert qualified nicely as an exemplum contradictionis.
Had any of the Schnapper family seen the girl's sketch or overheard her meditations on their fifth son, they would have avoided each other's eyes and talked loudly of the merits of strong beer and axe throwing, for the perilous hanging of Robert's ears was an embarrassment to one and all. Any lower and they would have resided on his neck, and that position would have once and finally disqualified him from the occupation of hero.
Since it is an established fact that the ears of heroes are well behaved and handsomely situated to either side of the head–and not only-just-barely above the neck–Robert's family had long ago dismissed the likelihood of his doing anything more heroic than managing not to tread upon his own feet. Had anyone of the Schnappers (particularly Robert's younger brother Vipper) known that the young man still harbored high hopes of heroism (and wasn't half bad at alliteration either), they would have laughed themselves silly.
The Schnappers were the sort of people who believed manliness and facial hair were one in the same,† on account of which remarkable logic, the entire Schnapper clan–from grandparents to third cousins twice removed—had given up on Robert amounting to anything.
It was manifestly unfair, for while the young Robert could have done something to ameliorate the expression of perpetual surprise upon his face, and while he could have taken better care not to step on his own feet, there was nothing he could do about his beard. Mother Nature had heartlessly condemned him to a life of scruff, and that was that.
Before slamming her notebook closed in disgust, the girl added one last, hasty sketch of the mocking Vipper Schnapper with a quick note.
The girl was perhaps a little hard on herself. It wasn't as if she was the first young woman to be misled by a dramatic head of hair. Moreover (and to her credit), it had only taken a few minutes' conversation for her to realize that the well-groomed Vipper would never live up to the intensity of his eyebrows. Such disappointments happen all too often.
Still, if she was brutally honest with herself, the chin beard really should have told her e v e r y t h i n g. It really, really should.
† That created some difficulty where Great Aunt Stomp was concerned, but that's another story.

Why IshaPur Turmeric Curcumin For You?
We are proud to offer IshaPur Turmeric Curcumin to you! We believe in offering only the finest products with the purest ingredients. Our all-natural turmeric curcumin supplement with bio-enhancing black pepper extract is one of the finest on the market and we know you'll agree once you try it.
Most turmeric that is available in supplement form by other companies is a combination of three different grades of turmeric curcumin and only a small fraction of that is Pure Potency Curcumin Extract. With IshaPur, we solely use 100% pure extracted curcumin that is of the highest grade in quality and purity available. Ours is an extra strength advanced formula that others can't offer.
With us, you only get the best!
With IshaPur, we solely use 100% pure extracted curcumin that is of the highest grade in quality and purity available.
Our advanced formula also contains black pepper extract which allows the body to absorb the majority of turmeric curcumin into the blood.
It actually increases absorption into the bloodstream by nearly 2000%! It is crucial to combine the two to increase absorption – without the black pepper, the body absorbs only about 5% of the turmeric curcumin which will not benefit the body as greatly as it could with the addition of black pepper.
Specifically, our supplement contains 1200mg/serving of pure 95% Standardized Turmeric Curcumin Extract as well as 95-98% of the potent and beneficial extract of black pepper fruit known as piperine.
We are proud to state that IshaPur is made in the USA and the only other ingredient our supplements contain is the vegetable cellulose capsule.
We recommend adults take 1 capsule with a meal twice daily for the best results.
Turmeric curcumin is proven to help treat inflammatory issues as well as a large number of other health issues while promoting unparalleled protection for cellular health due to its powerful antioxidants. Seek your doctor's approval before taking this supplement or any other dietary supplement.
