San Saba Legends
Legend and folklore regarding the San Saba Lost Mine Legend of the Texas Hill Country
The San Saba Treasure Legend
J. Frank Dobie's Coronado's Children
Posted on July 9, 2017 July 20, 2017 by D. Lewis
The book that recorded, and in part formed, the modern legend of the San Saba treasure was J. Frank Dobie's Coronado's Children. It was published in 1930. Google Books has a preview of the San Saba related section, including the Broken Metate story: Coronado's Children. Worth reading by anyone with an interest in the story.
Dobie was the premier Texas folklorist of his generation. He spent time at UT Austin as an English professor. It took more than skill as a writer to write folklore. One had to have a ready source of folklore, and Dobie was skilled at finding people who had stories to tell and were willing to tell them.
The Broken Metate story was unique in many ways, and was really the best story of all the San Saba tales. It had a great back story that reached back into the 1700's and it stretched all the way to the present: digging was ongoing when the book went to press. It was also incredibly unique in that the location of the alleged mine was not lost. The only mystery was how exactly to find the horde of silver bars inside the old mine. That separated the legend from many other treasure tales and placed it into an exclusive group of tales where the basic treasure site is firmly established. Oak Island comes to mind. As per the tale, one knows, as per extremely unique geological features, when one is within about 50 yards of the treasure. It is those last 50 yards that bedeviled treasure hunters for more than a century.
There is a map in Dobie's tale and the basic directions down the river and up the creek to get to the cave are correct. However, Dobie simplified the story from there. He did not really invent anything out of thin air, but he left out several important details. It is certain that he knew those details as they were in his notes. What he included and left out, and what the person who told the tale to Dobie had to say are an interesting glimpse into a folklorist who not only recorded folklore but, in the end, moved the legend along and added to it. Peoples' lives were changed because of what Dobie wrote.
Nearly every book written about the San Saba Treasure since 1930 (in regards to The Broken Metate / Silver Creek) merely copied Dobie. C.K. Eckhardt seemed to take Dobie's story and turn one sentence of Dobie into three sentences of Eckhardt. In the legend back-story Dobie wrote that Major Dixon went to a church in Monclova, Mexico to look for records about mines around the San Saba. Eckhardrt took that sentence, fertilized it, and and came up with Major Dixon visiting the "great cathedral" in Moncolva. Only, there was no great cathedral in Monclova in that era, none great and none small. There was no cathedral at all. And that is a clue–why would records of colonial era mines be stored at an ordinary parish church?
Academia and the San Saba Legends
There are only a few recent scholarly treatments of the San Saba Legends or events related to them. Those being The Archaeology and History of Spanish Colonial Mining Efforts in Central Texas by Nancy Mayo (Masters Thesis, Texas Tech 1995), and Ruin of ruins: (re)building myth and memory in Menard, TX by David Weir (Masters Thesis, Texas Tech 2004).
Nancy's paper has to do with the rumors of silver on the San Saba and the mines at Los Amalgres. It is a long, generally well-researched paper with a good number of archaeological investigations. She accepts, uncritically, the Bowie / Tresmanos tale (where Bowie was adopted into a tribe of Apaches to learn the secret of their silver). And she worked off of the same old translation of the Miranda documents that historians had used since the beginning. The more recent translations made at the direction of James Stotts were better and would have been of benefit to Nancy. Otherwise an interesting paper for anyone interested in colonial era mining efforts.
David's paper is mainly about how the townspeople of of Menard and the Apaches have approached, or created, the legends around Jim Bowie. In 2004 the "deconstruction" movement on campuses was in high gear. As usual in such papers, more is learned about the biases of the author than of the history in question. The cultural connection that some Apaches have with the Presidio was interesting, but the author leaves unquestioned how much of the oral history of the Apaches was handed down from their elders and how much, if any, of it was appropriated from books like Dobie's Coronado's Children. Instead of asking hard questions about the legend of Bowie living with the Apaches, he had to take it on faith as fact as he could not question recent Apache folklore. But he could disparage Menard's connection to Bowie. In the end, such papers tend to say more about their authors than their subjects.
A few decades earlier Duane Hale, now a history professor at Cisco College, wrote two papers. For his Masters thesis at Abilene Christian University in 1972 he wrote Evidence of Mining in the Big Country of Texas. Five years later at Oklahoma State University he wrote Prospecting and Mining on the Texas Frontier. These papers are not available on-line, and short of finding them in a university library they may be hard to fine. But, some of the material from those papers made it into a multi-part series of articles that showed up in Treasure magazine in 1991. Back issues of those magazines are still available if anyone is interested in them.

He's known all over the world as Denzel. But did you know Denzel Washington's legal name is Denzel Washington Jr.? And his father, Denzel Washington Sr., pronounces his name differently than his son? (He goes by "DEN-zel," not "den-ZELLE.") That's because Denzel Jr. is named after his father, but his father is actually named after the doctor who delivered him, a man named Dr. Denzel. That's just one of the facts featured in the new episode of You Think You Know Movies!
Have you caught a glimpse Denzel Washington's pinky onscreen and thought it looked a little crooked? Your eyes weren't playing tricks on you. Washington dislocated the finger as a kid, and it never healed properly. Eventually, the injury became permanent. Watch very closely in his movies, and you might see him subconsciously checking his finger, to see if it's popped out of place.
'You Think You Know Movies?' is a ScreenCrush original series that dives deep into the cinematic worlds of your favorite movies and freeze frames a few tidbits you might not have known. We've already tackled Star Wars, The Avengers and Spider-Man, but now it's time to bask in the glory (and the Glory) of Denzel Washington.

I have been thoroughly unimpressed during my time at Pierce College. I graduated valedictorian of my small graduating class, and I have not learned anything at a more difficult level than I did in high school. The teachers just created content during covid and now won't go back to the classroom and give any actual lectures or actually teach anyone. They just use programs that take grades for them and so they don't have to do anything. I had one awful professor who was very old and was incredibly strange. He had ideas like I had never heard before, but he was very condescending to those who he did not like. I did have one teacher, Tony Granata who was phenomenal. He also goes to my church, but I had never spoke to him before seeing him in class. He was great and he was actually nice to the students and he was great to talk to. Brian Heaven was also pretty good, but I haven't had him for a while. The school offers too many online options because the teachers don't want to come back to teach in the classroom, which is unfortunate because I learn better in person.
Salina - 01/19/2022
I really enjoy Pierce College. There are a plethora of groups to assist students from all walks of life, and experiences. The support that comes from the staff is phenomenal and even after classes have ended I still have contact with previous professors as they like to check in. I have not had a single complaint about any of the work or students, or staff in my short time at Pierce
Darien - 12/11/2020
I found my experience at Pierce to one I am thankful for. I transferred there from a much bigger school, and one of the first things I noticed is how close and interactive everything is, you see art from the students all over, you find plenty of other students in the many spots to meet up, and all the professors are engaging and committed. One small detail that I love is the shape of many of the classrooms, instead the normal rows of seating, the desks are arranged in a horseshoe shape. This allows for everyone to be able to see easier, but more importantly it makes it so everyone is encouraged to engage with the class, not just passively listen, and that feels very symbolic of my time at pierce.
Daisha
My overall opinion of Pierce is that they provide great services. Unfortunately, the tutoring center is not that beneficial to students because the amount of time they give students that do not have an appointment to see a tutor is not enough time to even retain any information. I believe that any student should be able to receive a tutor that matches the class they're taking and spend at least a half an hour. my experience was not great at all because the tutor was not familiar with the subject I was struggling with.
Pierce College-Fort Steilacoom FAQS
What is the Acceptance Rate at Pierce College-Fort Steilacoom?
The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Pierce College-Fort Steilacoom is 100%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.
What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
The advice I would give myself would be to educate myself more about the possible options for obtaining a degree that could help me obtain a career. I would also mention that even though life is hard and scary, don't do everything to please other. Pleasing yourself is very important in living a healthy life. Also, taking medication for attention-deficit disorder is beneficial to your education but focusing on it's stigma is not going to be mentally and physically healthy in the long run. Essay writing is going to be hard but stressing out and over thinking will cause you to gain doubt and struggle to finish, resulting in college applications to be incomplete. finishing essays is more important than making every sentence perfect. All the mistakes made will cause regret and regret leads to low self-esteem, so remember to focus on the task at hand and not the past. You will be happier and healthier.

What kind of person should attend this school?
They type of person that should attend Pierce College is someone that is looking for small class sizes, low tuition costs, and the community college feeling. Pierce trys to create the traditional college atmosphere with events, sports, and comradery, but it is hard to get the full college effect when you live off campus. It is mainly for people on a budget, that need to get their education to move on to the next step. I like Pierce because the class schedules are flexible, and all of my professors are very nice, and want me to do my best.

What's unique about your campus?
The best part about my school is the class sizes. They are very small and give alot of one on one time for the students with the instructors.
What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
The worst thing about my school is the parking lot. Sometimes it seems like it's not big enough and depending on what time of day you arrive determines how far out you have to park.
Describe how your school looks to someone who's never seen it.
Pierce College, its environment, professors and students give you the support you need to do well and achieve your goals.
Describe your favorite campus traditions.
Pierce College is best known for it's Early Childhood Education program. This is because of the faciliy created for this program allows students to learn how to become the best teacher they can by getting actual teaching experience on campus with great teachers giving you the knowledge needed to become educated and to spark a desire to grow as a teacher.
Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
What is unique about Pierce is that the class sizes are small, for a small amount of money. In a private school, where small class sizes are expected, the tuition rate is extremely out of reach for most people. I am able to get a degree, work part time, do all of my school work, and pay for school without getting a huge loan that will keep me in debt for the rest of my life. Some people say that community colleges aren't as prestigious, and the teachers are under qualified, but that isn't true about Pierce College.
What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
I think I pretty much knew what I needed to. I want to go to Pierce College in Puyallup Spring quarter.
Describe the students at your school.
Some are friendly while others are not.
What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
The most frusterating thing about my school is the impression I perceive that the staff does not care about the well-being of the students. This is conveyed to me by the overall lack of information given to the students by faculty members. Several times I have solicited information from school officials only to be given inadequate information. I have even been lied to about financial aid, causing me to incur unnecessary debt. My experiences in the Marine Corps have reinforced my belief that this is unacceptable and very unprofessional.

So if you're in Sweden and interested in some or all of the above, please come by and chat to people with similar interests.
I am positive that the future of web applications lies in simplification. Not simple as in too few options, or not very smart, but simple as in easy to understand.
The simplicity/complexity debate has mostly been debated on behalf of different languages, where ease of use has been pitted against (developmental) scalability and the verbosity of safety-measures and meta-data has been clashing with implicit information and quick deployment.
Instead of looking at which language offer the most suitable properties to development, I thought it interesting to instead look at what kind of protocols can be used, or created to simplify (in this case) Web-based applications.
Why so? Well, even the frameworks being used (Web-based (Generates the client (html/js) on the server for every action) or resource-based (respond to RESTive accesses and/or rpc calls from a separately downloaded html/js client) are in most cases tied to their implementation languages, with the possible exception of Rails becoming a de facto standard over almost the whole playing field (Trails, Grails, Symfony, et.c.).
But the power of Rails (from my admittedly shallow experience) is mostly due to either the expressiveness and clarity of Ruby itself, or from the strict opinionation when it comes to file structure, database management and mappings, et.c. Rails is still in some parts 'just' another JSP or ASP, in that it allows, even encourages mixing of presentation and logic, wise. I know that there are a lot of RESTive parts to Rails, but I haven't had time to try them out. By what I've read, though, they seem to be more on the right path.
Much of the comments in the debate I've more or less started around the End of Web Server Frameworks center around the fact that people (this is my conjecture, of course) feel very naked without proper IDE integration and code generation, and most importantly readily accept any configuration-file hell and bloated Schrödingers codebases (which will resolve into either working or non-working client code only when you open the lid/actually run the service), as long as they don't have to suffer the indignity to actually _learn_ something that lives inside the browser.
As I said, my conjecture.
Maybe this standard exists already, or something like it exists, that can be reused for this purpose. If so, please comment or mail me, because I've been searching standards organization and the like the whole weekend.
What do we gain by this? Well, it makes it possible to write generic widgets. Generic as in generically pluggable to any compatible server. And, quite frankly, it would make it possible to write generic clients for specific purposes, say resource editing, possible, so when you write your new fabulous service, you need only implement the common resource (tm :) description interface, and you can just pop in half a dozen existing clients that suit your purposes.
And as it happens, I'm in the process of contacting people to see if we can get a working group around this, either loosely coupled or under an organization which is compatible with the purpose in mind.
So, you might have thought it reasonable to avoid getting stuck in the XML swamps of the Server-side Web Frameworks, and instead separate the client in your system to run entirely in the browser.
You might even have chosen a client library framework (like Dojo) to do so. Still, that is only half of the solution, since even with the best client side framework, it must have a server to play with (even though that server does not generate content as such).
Theres also the IDE factor to consider. You'll probably be using Java on your server. You probably must, since you're actually designing a new web access 'portal' for an existing system. How could I guess?
****UPDATE 2008-03-31**** : Dylan Schiemann of Sitepen and the Dojo foundation have corrected me in this issue. Naturally it was SitePen, Mozilla Foundation, Nexaweb Technologies, Redfin, & SnapLogic that last fall jointly bought TurboGrid from the TurboAjax group.
I don't really know what to say in my defense, sadly enough. I remember that I read several articles on the subject and how I could come up with my first take on this subject, and how I could get it this wrong is completely incredible. Very sorry about this!!
3) It's fully open-source under the GPL.
4) It uses Dojo 1.0 components, so you create your page(s) visually.
6) You can create services inside the IDE; WSDL, Database Queries or custom Java code.
7) It generates generic WAR archives, for crying out loud!
There are a couple of other web-based IDEs out there which I quite like.
TIBCO is one, but it can only use WSDL services, and lives only in the browser. And most of the others want either to host your solutions at their remote server farm somewhere, or possibly sell you a nice vendor lock-in solution that will hurt good in a couple of years.
So WaveMaker really has guts to actually deliver what's needed for the .. I don't think customer is the right word, since it's free, but there you go :) But what I meant to say is that most companies focus on how to make sure that they secure their own position first, and then loosen that a bit here and there to make the proposition tastier for the customer. This is almost the other way around.
Full disclosure before I go any further: I do some contract work for WaveMaker. However, I really like their approach and would not have taken up the work otherwise.
What I mean with support on the server-side is tools or inherently capable systems that result in a proper RESTive service foundation that can be accessed by the client.
WaveMaker supports not only the addition of existing services into the client for consumption, but lets you create them, and gives you a more cleanly separated server-side even if you choose other venues later on, which is even better.
My first post on this subject described the general waste of resources that Server-side Web Frameworks incur, and the slideshow describing the alternative "Thin Server Architecture" had a number of very clear diagrams describing the alternative. This article meet the criticism I have received, question by question, to further clarify how to lower the cost of web application development.
1. c: Some frameworks are good for some things and some for others. Surely this "Thin Server Architecture" is just one choice among others.
a: No actually, it is not a choice among others. It is the total removal of any web framework on the server whatsoever. That's what it is. It is "No View on the Server", and it is "Put the client on the client". If you consider "lowering your development and maintenance costs dramatically" a choice among others, be my guest. But I would generally consider that a question of whether to have a third ear at all compared to the question of where to put it.
3. c: The page will load in weird ways which users are not used to. Nobody will want to use a web application like that.
4. c: There is no need to go to such extremes. We already have AJAX support in JSF and it works well, for minor things where that kind of 'effects' are needed.
a: Since the idea of using Ajax on a separate client (on the client) is opposite to generating the client on the server for every action, this Frankensteinian technique works well for nobody. It is a little bit like tying a jet fighter to a sinking Titanic. You will get a little lift, for a while, and then all will be engulfed by the next wave.
5. c: If you have to shuffle all data to the client using Ajax, it'll be too much data and the page will be slower that if it is created by the server-side web framework at once.
a: Eh, hello? There is still the same amount of data, no matter how you get it over. Using Thin Server Architecture you get the page in place super-fast, then load and pre-load resources under the hood so that the application acts snappy when the user starts to interact with it. Oh, and you only ship the data after that.
Måns Jonasson's research in this area shows a 33% decrease of server resources when starting to move View logic onto the client, from the server.
6. c: We have already invested so much money and training in our server-side web framework of choice, so we'll use it anyway, for all future. Nobody has the strength to ever learn anything again. We're not interested in lowering costs, we just want to do what we've done for years. Go away! Yaah!
Also, there is supposedly companies who provide really great IDE support, of various flavours.
What's more, there already truly amazing solutions for bringing this on big time .
So my take on this is that this is the near future. If you don't think so, and have experience to disprove me, please comment here or mail me, because I'd be more than happy to hear what you have to say.
This is from a talk I gave at Stockholm's first Web Monday, last week.
In it, I try to describe the benefits of putting the client on the client and reducing complexity on the server.
This is not available on the Bunkai PoC site, since it needs a backend which can provide an url that spouts JSON, but I'll think about lciensing Bunkai so that you can download it and make it run on your own backends.
This was the hard part.
You _do_ know that the fourth Dojo Developer Day start right now, as we speak, don't you?
If you are in or near San Fransisco, head up to the GooglePlex, where Google are donating the use of some facilities for the event, but mail rsvp at dojotoolkit dot org, so people know you're coming.
Believe me, if I were in San Fransisco, I'd be camping outside the doors. Actually, it would suffice with being in any of the Americas. As it stand, I sit in "Gamla Stan" in Stockholm, Sweden and is going precisely 20 km west (not near enough by a long shot) to cook dinner for my family. But that's life.

Background: The 5-item World Health Organization Well-Being Index (WHO-5) is among the most widely used questionnaires assessing subjective psychological well-being. Since its first publication in 1998, the WHO-5 has been translated into more than 30 languages and has been used in research studies all over the world. We now provide a systematic review of the literature on the WHO-5.
Methods: We conducted a systematic search for literature on the WHO-5 in PubMed and PsycINFO in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. In our review of the identified articles, we focused particularly on the following aspects: (1) the clinimetric validity of the WHO-5; (2) the responsiveness/sensitivity of the WHO-5 in controlled clinical trials; (3) the potential of the WHO-5 as a screening tool for depression, and (4) the applicability of the WHO-5 across study fields.
Results: A total of 213 articles met the predefined criteria for inclusion in the review. The review demonstrated that the WHO-5 has high clinimetric validity, can be used as an outcome measure balancing the wanted and unwanted effects of treatments, is a sensitive and specific screening tool for depression and its applicability across study fields is very high.
Conclusions: The WHO-5 is a short questionnaire consisting of 5 simple and non-invasive questions, which tap into the subjective well-being of the respondents. The scale has adequate validity both as a screening tool for depression and as an outcome measure in clinical trials and has been applied successfully across a wide range of study fields.

The Talbott Brothers are an American Folk 'N' Roll duo from Nebraska, currently based in Portland, Oregon. Nick and Tyler Talbott form a unique duo that balance vocal harmonies with their instrumental ensemble of guitars, mandolin, harmonicas and percussion. Their entertaining effect on stage is embraced by multiple generations as people enjoy the blend of traditional folk with the modern touch.In the past few years, The Talbott Brothers have brought about a vast amount of change and growth, both musically and as individuals, striving to find their own way through life's sometimes rocky landscapes. It comes as no surprise that the better part of their career has been spent traveling the once unfamiliar highways in search of purpose and what it really means to pursue one's passion.
Their sophomore album — 'Places' focuses on the lighter side of the journey, in comparison to the raw, acoustic-driven sound of their previous album — 'The Road.' Offering catchy melodies and rhythmic writing, songs like 'Running Man' and 'Hold On' lend hand to heart-warming and eerie harmonies only close siblings could share. For Nick and Tyler, the album title isn't about physically going somewhere, but rather a metaphor for the different places one goes within relationships, beliefs and ultimately oneself.


This morning on my bus ride to work I was kicking back admiring the view of Auckland city and as I always do, was listening to a podcast. Being the start of yet another month in a year that is flying by I had that familiar feeling of panic that I haven't completed even a quarter of the tasks I had hoped to by this time*. So it was a happy coincidence that I tuned into this TED radio hour podcast, which addressed the things we can learn from slowing down and procrastinating (yes, that's right, procrastinating!).
Lately I've been thinking a lot about how much time I spend doing productive/active tasks like field work, analysing data, or writing a manuscript. Most of my days are made up of these tasks in addition to all the other little things that make up an academic's life, like replying to emails, reviewing manuscripts and sitting on committees (and let's face it, extended tea breaks). While one day is never the same by the end of the week I feel like I've been going from one task to another, always in a bit of a hurry and never really taking the time to step back and think about where my research is going. Most weeks could be considered productive because I am usually moving projects forward (even just a little), but I'm not really allowing myself to think about the bigger picture and make longer term plans for new projects. The largest part of my anxiety at work comes from the fear of not having the biggest and best ideas to develop into large-scale projects. It could be that I'm just not a very creative person, but perhaps (hopefully) this could be greatly improved by setting aside time to develop those little inklings into big ideas.
What I've slowly started to recognise, and what was driven home in the TED podcast, was that we can't always be moving forward all the time. Although this problem applies across the board in academia, not allowing time to think and plan can be particularly costly for early career researchers. For those of us without permanent positions there is a lot of pressure to come up with a real zinger of an idea that we can write-up into the next big winning grant application. This hopefully gives us a couple more years of salary, and may even give leverage towards getting the elusive permanent position. We are also under a lot of pressure to publish profusely and I can't help but think that if I'm not producing my peers will be, and I don't want to fall behind when it comes to being competitive for jobs.
For the really good ideas to come, the ones that aren't immediately obvious, we need time to reflect and think deeply. Although it's quite possible that these big ideas may show themselves through fortuitous discovery while working on a current project, or through a stroke of genius, we still need lots of time to fully develop these ideas. It's pretty much impossible to do this if you are always in a rush to get the next job done.
So how does procrastination fit into all of this? In Adam Grant's TED talk and in a New York Times column he discusses the attributes of original thinkers and why a moderate amount of procrastination can be helpful. He argues that very organised people, the 'pre-crastinators', tend to rush in to new tasks and want to finish them quickly to reduce their anxiety for an impending deadline. These people tend to be highly productive but not necessarily creative, because they often grasp the first and most obvious idea that comes to mind and run with it. Pre-crastinators are less likely to sit back and think about alternatives or new ways to approach a problem.
I think I could be classified to be a pre-crastinator. I like to reply to emails immediately to get them out of my mind, I always pay bills as soon as they come in rather than waiting for the due date, and I finished my Honours dissertation 3 weeks before the due date while my friends were pulling all-nighters. Little did I realise that I shouldn't feel quite so smug about being organised because this may be coming at the cost of creativity.
On the other hand, it may not pay to be a chronic procrastinator either, because completing a task in a last minute rush may also lead to you grabbing hold of the most simple and not very well thought out idea. Grant argues that finding a happy medium between rushing in head first and putting things off until you have to pull an all-nighter may be a useful way to become more creative.
Start something but then put it back down. Don't finish it straight away.
Instead, if you keep the idea mulling over in the back of your mind you may find that you come up with creative insights about how to make it better. People who are quick to start but slow to finish a project may have the creative edge over the rest of us.
I would also argue that as well as letting things bubble away in the background, it is also important to actively put aside time to think. By this I mean turn off the computer, put down the pipette, and move into another mental (and maybe physical) space altogether. I'm sure everyone finds that they have a lot of good ideas when lying in bed just before sleep, probably because this is the first time in the day when we've slowed down. I think it is therefore important to find the right setting to allow deep thought and creativity.
A student in Rutherford's lab was very hard-working. Rutherford had noticed it and asked one evening – "Do you work in the mornings too?". "Yes" proudly answered the student sure he would be commended. "But when do you think"? amazed Rutherford.
Instead of feeling the pressure to always be doing something with instant, recognisable outputs, I'm trying to put aside more time to think. In the same podcast, Lakshimi Pratury talks about the art of hand writing letters and how they can give you time to consider a deeper response than may be achieved in a quickly fired-off email. This got me thinking about when I have my best ideas. I feel like I'm able to think clearer when I'm cozied up with a good pot of tea and a notebook, rather than staring at my laptop.
Although I usually write papers directly into Word now (I was still doing this by hand until my Honours year!), I still plan out critical ideas and manuscript structures in my notebook first. I also like to print off a few recent papers and read these away from my computer so that I can absorb them slowly and jot down ideas that may spring to mind as I go along. These ideas are then transferred into a word document later on so that I have current and future project ideas in one place, meaning I can shelve them and stew on them to return to at a later point. I often find that once I've made these ideas 'live' (i.e. made a rough plan or jotted it down in my notebook) they stay in the back of my mind and sometimes listening to a colleague give or talk or reading a new paper can trigger a new direction for that idea. It can be useful to skim over that list of ideas occasionally too and remind yourself of what's there – I'm sometimes surprised that with time I will be able to add new thoughts to an idea and have a better understanding of how to move it forward.
So, instead of thinking that procrastination is the same as laziness, I'm trying to be ok with being less productive in the hope that it may bring some creativity. I've also started knitting and hoping that, once I can do it without having to ferociously concentrate, this hobby might be a nice way to actively relax and have some good thinking time.
You can just about see the stress in those tight stitches!
*In a classic twist on a post on procrastination, you'll notice that I started writing this on the first of the month and it is now almost October!
I recently made one of those decisions which, although pretty normal for a lot of academics, meant uplifting my life in New Zealand and moving to Singapore. I finished my PhD almost 2 years ago now and have been lucky to get several postdoc positions, one at the University of Auckland (where I did my PhD) and a shorter stint at the Australian National University (playing with fiddler crabs in Darwin).
These opportunities allowed me to get publications from my thesis out, make some new collaborations and delve into new research areas. The time had come, however, to head off and do something different and so I jumped at the chance to take up a research fellowship at the National University of Singapore. Although exciting, this has meant that my husband and I had to make the decision whether to do this together or live apart for the next couple of years. We decided (after much discussion & ultimately sacrifice on his part) that he would come along too & so he quit his job, we packed up our house, put all our belongings in storage and off we went to Singapore!
So here we are, a few weeks into our new life living in a country the same size as my old city but with a LOT more people. The upside is that living in the tropics means there is a pretty incredible amount of wildlife to see, even in a little city park or on campus on my walk to work in the mornings. I've been having fun ticking off the birds on campus using this handy website & this great app of Singapore birds. I even found out today there is an app for the snakes of Singapore which is great as we have already spotted three snakes while out and about. I've also realized that birding is a great way to make friends – on the weekend we met a Singaporean bloke called Philip who gave us all the latest gossip on where to see an orange headed thrush (you take the track at Bukit Timah with the stairs, turn left, then go straight and you should see a bunch of other birders with their tripods). He also told us how to find this super cute baby Spotted Wood Owl at Pasir Ris Park which we spotted snoozing up high in a tree near the beach (turns out we need a better zoom lens).
Anyway, before anyone mistakes me for biologist working on charismatic megafauna, I should mention that I'm actually here to work on jumping spiders (Salticidae). As anyone who has a love for jumping spiders will know, they are renowned for their incredible diversity in colour and their charming courtship behaviours.
I'm going to be exploring a few different questions, but the main aim is to trace the origin and evolution of UV-colour in male jumping spiders and to compare this to how females use male colour to make judgments on male mate quality. Daiqin Li's group has already done a fair amount of work in this area already, which is actually really exciting for me as I spent a lot of time during my PhD working out the very basics of giraffe weevil ecology. Here I can jump in and build on all the great stuff already done and hopefully get stuck in to some bigger picture research such as using phylogenies to map the evolution of colour & its use in mate choice.
In the meantime, here are a couple of pics we've taken when out exploring the local parks on the weekends – still need to get a macro lens so mostly larger animals so far!

Summary: My name is Magnus Chase. These days, I'm one of Odin's immortal warriors, but that doesn't stop people trying to kill me all the time. Loki the trickster god is free from his chains. He's put together a crew of giants and zombies to sail Naglfar, the Ship of the Dead, in a battle against the Norse gods. If he succeeds, the final battle of Ragnarok will extinguish all the worlds.
Rick Riordan is an American author best known for writing the fantasy series Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Riordan often writes about old religions and their stories, weaving them into modern settings with young protagonists.
Magnus Chase and the Ship of the Dead is the final book in Riordan's Norse mythology series. I have previously reviewed the first two books in the series, Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer and Magnus Chase and the Hammer of Thor.
Magnus Chase and the Ship of the Dead was a great end to a wonderful series!
The plot was exciting as our intrepid heroes set out to stop Ragnarok and imprison Loki. There were various battles, some of wit and others of skill, which made the book interesting and fun to read. There was never a dull moment in the book. I loved the development of different relationships in this book from friendship to new romances because they added a nice dimension to the book. Each character became stronger because of their friends. I also really enjoyed Sam's character development where she trained to become resistant to Loki's influence. Sam is a wonderful character and I'm glad that she was featured heavily in this book.
There were some weird references to deaths in the river Ouse which was a tad too close to home since I went to university in York. I know that Riordan chose to feature York since it was essentially the Viking capital of England, and it was nice to see the heroes venture down some of my favourite streets in the whole of England, but I didn't like the references to the river monsters.
The ending of this book was open which was nice and left room for the universe to be expanded in the future. I know there are some short stories available set after the events of this book but I haven't read them and I don't know if I will. I am very sad to see the end of Riordan's Norse series because I think it was my favourite series by him, other than the original Percy Jackson books, but it was a solid trilogy and I am so glad that it wasn't dragged out too long.
Overall, I really enjoyed reading the Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard trilogy and I think that this was a wonderful ending to a very readable series. I'd recommend the books because they're fun and accessible to read and they bring Norse mythology to life in a new way.
Have you read this series? If so, what did you think?
Great review Amy! Mc&the ship of dead is still in my tbr tho.
It's a great book and a great trilogy!
Amy has read 2 books toward her goal of 52 books.

Wedding Wardrobe Disaster Averted: Maurice Dancer
When a delayed flight and lost luggage left one guest without attire for his friend's wedding. Chef Concierge Maurice Dancer quickly came to the rescue. "With only a few hours only to spare," the guest shared, "a tux was procured and the day was saved. Impeccable service from the heart."
An Unforgettable Anniversary: Meaghan Levy and Nick Bodnar
When a Scottish couple decided to return to Perrine for their first wedding anniversary, our Food and Beverage team made sure it was an evening to remember. Beverage Manager Meaghan Levy reserved the same table at which they sat during their post-wedding dinner the year before. Restaurant Manager Nick Bodnar arranged for a special dessert and card, while the entire staff greeted the couple with "Happy Anniversary!" On their way out, they thanked everyone at Perrine for an anniversary they will never forget.
A Most Memorable Birthday: Michael Romano and David Bennett
Custom Pierre desserts usually require 24-hour advance notice. But Executive Pastry Chef Michael Romano didn't let that get in the way of a last-minute birthday request. After a guest called room service at 8:00 PM to order not one but two cakes, Chef Michael and Room Service Manager David Bennett went up to the guest's room to find out exactly what was required. The next day, Chef Michael worked all afternoon to complete the cakes, each with a completely different flavor and filling, while David went shopping for the guest's preferred floral decorations. Chef Michael personally delivered the cakes to the party at an off-site location, then returned to the hotel and finished his shift.
The Concierge That Never Closes: Charlie Loor
It was after 11:00 pm when one of our guests realized he had left his computer at a Broadway theater. Desperate to retrieve it for an important meeting in San Francisco the next morning, he contacted Concierge Charlie Loor. Charlie immediately placed several calls and persuaded a representative to return to the theater so the bag could be retrieved. After finishing his shift, Charlie personally drove the guest there. The stage door entrance was opened just for him. "I was completely blown away by this level of thinking and service," shared the guest. "Congratulations on having great people and a great hotel!"
