This is part of the ninth section of our around the
world trip.
Complete Trip Overview & Map
Coming from Colombia or read our previous
visit to Venezuela
13/1/03 No problems with immigration into Venezuela but we were told that customs didn't open till 12 noon. Having delayed travelling yesterday, Sunday, we were in no mood to wait today, and with a line of trucks already waiting it may have been late afternoon before we were away from the border. On our last visit to Venezuela we were not asked for the motorcycle customs papers so we chose to take the risk and ride on, there being no barrier at this loose border. We were immediately pleased to be carrying the extra 20 litres of fuel as every petrol station on the way to Maracaibo was closed. Some had queues up to 1.5 km long but weren't pumping petrol. 20 litre drums and siphon hoses were on sale and we did see one petrol station pumping gas in Maracaibo city. The military were regulating pumping and cars had numbers painted on their windscreens to stop queue jumpers. We saw no black market sales. 460 km to Barquisimeto and only one more station pumping and a dozen or more with long queues and we were now well into our 20 litre drum. Asked a tow truck driver, if it was possible to buy petrol without queuing? He offered us 20 litres from his tank, and was happy with the 4 times normal price we paid. Petrol is normally 20 litres to the $US 1.00 and diesel 30 litres to the dollar here.
14/1/03 Off early again after a comfortable night in a love hotel just out of Barquisimeto. We had chosen the inland route 13, heading for Puerto la Cruz, 700 km, as our destination tonight, where we will start looking for boats. There have been few vehicles moving outside of towns, except for buses and trucks. By the time we reached El Sombrero, south of Caracas more stations were open and queues as short as 50 cars, still a couple of hours wait. We approached a tyre change place and managed to buy about 25 litres from someone's "stash". Both times we bought petrol roadside the price was at our discretion, there was no profiteering, no demanding of a high price for someone in need, a very generous response. Within 120 km the whole situation changed and most petrol stations were open and queues of only a couple of cars. This situation continued all the way to Puerto la Cruz. One could be cynical to think that the area of least supply of petrol is that of the greatest opposition to the government, Maracaibo.
15/1/03 Whilst we had no difficulty getting restaurant food along the road nor here in Puerto la Cruz, it is expensive, and there are no supplies of soft drink, or beer, milk is in limited supply and fast food chains are closed. The day was spent at Bahia Redonda Marina mixing and mingling with yachties, expats and western drop outs, as we tried to get a feel for boating the Caribbean, which most of those people have done.
16/1/03 Pretty much the same as yesterday putting together small pieces of the jigsaw puzzle that involves buying and taking a boat out of Venezuela and getting it through the islands. This is a necessary but tedious part of planning. Everyone here has their story to tell. Some oversimplify situations to show how easy it was for them while others dramatize their story as they were the survivors of problems. Some are genuinely concerned with our safety, assess where we have been on the motorcycle but realize our lack of boating experience. The general tenseness in the country doesn't help. People have time on their hands with shops, businesses and the government closed or only opening a few hours a day. Either nothing to sell or nobody buying and no business deals being done. The currency here has dropped 15% in the few days since our arrival. There are few smiles about, not that Venezuelans were the happiest Latin Americans on our last visit, but it is a definite different feel to the Argentineans acceptance during their crisis last year. Perhaps because the country is still in a state of uncertainty as to the outcome of the crisis.
17/1/03 Moved east to the boat repair and fishing port town of Cumana and found two possibilities of boats. One large, built by an eccentric American who died 3 yrs ago and one a launch, small at 10 metres, neither perfect but both possible options.
18/1/03 Its about now that an idea that seems so doable at the time of inception starts to fade as its details and difficulties materialize. There are more ideas than accomplishments in the world. Trying to solve all of the problems that leap into our minds, moving the motorcycle by boat through 13 island countries to the U.S.A. it seems insurmountable. But we have found in the past that most of the perceived problems don't eventuate or are solved as each arises without too much hassle. But it is at this stage that most plans become too difficult and pass to oblivion. Only "baby steps" achieved today. Second look at the two boats, minor information on paperwork but still confusing.
19/1/03 The small launch was ruled out after a test drive with too much work being required and it's size a concern. Still we had an interesting boat ride around the bay and some clarity in paperwork.
20/1/03 Corruption here is as rife as anywhere we have been. To get a boat transferred requires many documents, a boat check, a tax clearance and time. To speed it up, extra money. Unfortunately the deal on the larger boat fell through as its documentation from the deceased estate is not finalized and will take many months in the current Venezuelan political climate to be rectified. Back to the drawing board for a couple of hours before meeting a Dutchman on a 73 ft yacht. Seems he and his family have been hanging round Venezuela without work for the boat since the current strike started. To make ends meet he tried importing 10 tons of Coca Cola from Trinidad and Tobago to sell in the deprived markets of Cumana. However the customs officials removed the profit from the operation, and anything that might have been left is disappearing daily as the currency devalues, 20% in the last week. Seems there is a chance he might be interested in sharing a trip to Cuba with us. He was planning a run to the Dominican Republic anyway.
21/1/03 A tentative arangement with the skipper to use the 73 ft yacht, "Monsoon" was agreed today. We leave here in about a week, after the Coca Cola is sold. Trinidad and Tobago for a month where he does work on the vessel and we live ashore sightseeing. Two months to get to The Dominican Republic, island hopping. Three weeks ashore there for us while he looks around on the boat alone, then onto the Bahamas and Jamaica arriving in Cuba early June, the end of our arrangement. The price about the same as we calculate to buy and sell our own boat with running costs. The disadvantages, the loss of it being our own trip and privacy. But the advantages, a fixed price, reduced worry regarding safety and reselling a boat and of course increased comfort. The decision to be finalised by the 6 th February.
22/1/03 The motorcycle has been using more oil than usual and on checking we noticed a leak in the exhaust at a join near the rear cylinder. A crack in the exhaust pipe closer to the rear cylinder caused excessive engine wear and oil consumption due to overheating in Africa and we are concerned the same damage may have been done again. Fixed the leak but only time will tell if the engine is damaged permanently.
23/1/03 Up at 4.30 am to catch the 6.00 am ferry which finally left at 11.00 am for the trip to the Isla de Margarita, such is the way things are running in Venezuela at the moment eight weeks into the general strike. The smooth five hour crossing never left sight of land, peninsula and islands. We rode to the north of Isla de Margarita, to a lovely bay, hotel on the beach with waterfront balcony and within our budget, such is the way things are running in Venezuela at the moment.
24/1/03 Juan Griego is a quiet fishing village of wooden boats in a quiet bay. The turmoil and shortages in the rest of Venezuela have hardly reached this region and it's duty free zone. We just relaxed near the beach.
25/1/03 The same as yesterday, just relaxing near the beach.
26/1/03 The ferry back to Cumana was more on time but slow as we hurried only to find the 73 ft yacht "Monsoon", our ride to Trinidad, had unexpectedly left two days earlier. The early departure without email contact left us confused and disheartened as we had expected this deal to go through. Our previous plan had been to ride to Guiria where boats occasionally take passengers to Trinidad, the motorcycle uncertain. We headed out, only to change our minds an hour into the trip returning to Cumana hoping the "Monsoon" had only left for the weekend, or to get more information on its location tomorrow being Monday.
27/1/03 No yacht or any information on it's whereabouts this morning. The Harley club magazine, H.O.G. (Harley Owners Group) has been planning a series of articles on our trip, off and on for the last couple of years. In it's Jan/Feb issue, just out, is the first of the four part series, six pages with photos. The articles are being written by an American journalist who has been doing internet and phone interviews as we have been travelling the past few months. Spent most of the day answering email questions for the third article due out in May/Jun.
28/1/03 270 km to Guiria, slowly leaving behind the dry arid coastline being replaced with the lush tropics. There is more trade between Trinidad and Venezuela since the strike started. The large multi-nationals aren't producing here now, and the president has removed all duties for imported products. However we missed a cargo boat yesterday and there won't be another one till Friday. The passenger ferry, every Wednesday, is too small for the motorcycle. There is also some uncertainty as to whether cargo boats are allowed to take passengers. Added to that is our motorcycle carnet expires in four days time, we need to be in Trinidad to extend it, and Trinidad requires an onward ticket for entry into the country, unobtainable for a boat departure outside the country, and the list of uncertainties and potential problems grows.
29/1/03 We spent most of the day at the Grupo Acosta agent's office. Seems they have a boat leaving but because of past experiences trying to get vehicles into Trinidad (all rejected) they didn't want their boat held up in port or being forced to bring the bike back. Finally, just as immigration was closing at 5 pm, and without a firm reply to the fax's and phone calls to Trinidad, they agreed to take the bike on the condition it may have to come back to Venezuela at our expense. A cost of $US 40.00 each for Kay, me and the motorcycle plus a departure tax of $US 23.00 per person. It seems the departure tax went to the agent's expenses as we were listed as crew, therefore no tax, and there were no agent's fees despite their extensive efforts. The boat was a three legged oil platform support vessel with its own crane. Now out of work in the oil field strike it is transhipping containers from Trinidad that had to be offloaded there due to the port strike in Venezuela. The boat just screws down its legs lifting the hull completely out of the water and works like a truck crane would on land. We loaded the motorcycle ready to depart at 2 am tomorrow.
30/1/03 Chugged away from port almost on time and were given bunks to catch up on sleep.

HoopsHype Golden State Warriors rumors
Roster | Salaries | On Twitter | Twitters | Instagram
Golden State Warriors VIDEOS
"You could make the argument that his value is somewhat like Taj Gibson's is to the Bulls right now," one NBA talent scout said. "He is seen as a part of the Warriors' main core. His value is very similar to that of Tayshaun Prince on Detroit's championship team. He will end up getting approximately $8 million per year in free agency based on similar comparables." Bleacher Report
Green is aware he's made himself an important part of the Warriors, and he has a windfall coming. "It'd be a lie to say I don't think about it," he said. "But I don't try to do anything different. If I did, everything is going to go wrong because I would be focusing on the wrong thing. I'd be stressed all year. Stress equals bad performances, which then would equal no contract. I really love it here. It's all I know about this league. As far as the money working out, if they want me to stay here, I know there's a way to keep me here." Bleacher Report
Los Angeles Lakers (Record: 1-9; last week's rank: 27): Klay Thompson would've entered the draft a year earlier if the Lakers had agreed to take him in the first round, a source said. The Lakers declined. Yahoo! Sports
"It's always that kind of uncertainty, what it's going to be like," Curry said. "He did a great job over the summer of reaching out to every single player, getting to know us, talking about what his expectations were, which made us a little more comfortable, for sure. But we're all grownups. We all can kind of compartmentalize your relationships, knowing that in situations Coach Kerr's coming in prepared for the job and trying to take us to the next level, and our job is to go out and play. He did a great job during training camp of keeping it light, keeping it fun, doing some things that are different." NBA.com
They go through center Andrew Bogut more than Mark Jackson did. And after thumping the Lakers Sunday night, the Warriors are 8-2 and two games clear of the Clippers for the Pacific Division lead. "We still want to push the ball -- I think we're number one in the league right now in pace of our offense, getting the ball up the floor," Bogut said. "Last season, the issue for us was when that wasn't there. What now? And it was usually one pass [and] iso. We have a lot of things in place where he wants to get ball movement and move the ball side to side, and he's emphasized that, and that's probably a key to our turnovers early in the season, because we're trying things that we're not used to. But I think it's going to get better and better." NBA.com
The Warriors are second to only the Sixers in turnovers per game, throwing the ball all over the building when at their worst. For a team that shoots as well as Golden State does, those empty possessions are often the difference between an easy game and stress-building, one-possession games. "Most of those turnovers are coming in the first two passes of a possession," Kerr said. "So it's the decision making. It's not that we're passing so much that we're overpassing. Most of our turnovers are just rebound, throw it out of bounds, or one dribble, and throw it off somebody's foot. So we're just trying to get better execution-wise, and it's going to come." NBA.com
Kerr implemented Carroll's practice of playing loud music during practice for the Warriors. "What I found in my career was, there's 82 games, hopefully more," Kerr said. "Every day can't be the same. Phil Jackson was great with that, and Pop. You didn't know what to expect each day. So I learned that from Phil and Pop. There was some music playing in Seattle [at practice], and I talked to Pete about that. He said, 'You know, it's food for the soul, and the players love it.' "And if you can do it at the right times, where they can still focus, that's important. Because the game is not played in a silent gym. It's played with pressure, and with noise. So the music can serve as a stimulant, as a motivator, but also as a distraction. Can you focus through that?" NBA.com
Most days rap wins the day, though Wednesdays are reserved for rock and heavy metal (and thus called "White Boy Wednesdays"). "I have to get on him a little bit to widen his arsenal of music," Bogut said, laughing. "No one will like it [but] I want my day. I listen to a lot of old rock and roll, old school rock and roll, some late '70s, '80s rock, [Bruce] Springsteen. And I listen to a bunch of Croatian music. I definitely can't put the Croatian on, because people will stop practicing and leave the gym. But I think the rock might pass." NBA.com
Diamond Leung: Klay Thompson confirmed Kobe Bryant's story noticing him lifting weights last preseason in China. Kobe said: "'What's up,' that's about it." Twitter @diamond83
To be fair, there's a reason Lance Stephenson was hitting himself: Harrison Barnes came across and hit his arm, and his arm was kinda in front of his face, and boom! Hand in the face! Not an egregious flop! But it's still Lance Stephenson slapping himself: SB Nation
Nemanja Nedovic: "The key to signing with Valencia Basket was having minutes. In the NBA I didn't have the chance to play. I need minutes to improve my game." Gigantes del Basket
Monte Poole: Breaking news: @Stephen Curry missed a free throw, snapping his streak at 34. Twitter @MontePooleCSN
The Golden State Warriors have recalled guard Justin Holiday and center Ognjen Kuzmic from the Santa Cruz Warriors of the NBA Development League, the team announced today. The duo helped lead Santa Cruz to a 122-95 season-opening victory over the Los Angeles D-Fenders last night in Santa Cruz. NBA.com
Livingston, who guarded the likes of LeBron James and Kevin Durant in his lone season in Brooklyn, got off to a slow start in Golden State because of a toe injury sustained late last season with the Nets, resulting in offseason surgery and a missed training camp. He revealed for the first time Thursday how his broken toe was never diagnosed, and how he played in the postseason on the strength of a cortisone injection. "I don't want to say I was misdiagnosed, but they couldn't really figure out the issue. They did all these MRIs and X-rays and it was still hurt," said Livingston, who broke his toe in the 77th game of last season and subsequently played 326 playoff minutes. New York Daily News
Livingston's broken toe healed after it was placed in a cast, but he still required surgery after signing with Golden State. "They found out there was a lot of scar tissue because once I broke it, I continued to play on it in the playoffs," Livingston said. "Basically, I just shot it up with cortisone and went out there and played on it." New York Daily News
But after choosing to spurn Jackson and what he's trying to build at The Garden to instead choose to replace Mark Jackson and coach Stephen Curry and the Warriors, Kerr hasn't looked back and hasn't considered what it would have been like to work for one of his mentors. "I've been so busy, and I'm so happy here that I don't give it much thought," Kerr told The Post after practice Friday at the team's Oakland, Calif., facility. "At the time, I knew my heart was here, in Golden State and in California." New York Post
"My family is all here," Kerr said. "New York would have been a world away from my family, from my roots, and really the attraction was to work with Phil. "That's what made it such a difficult decision, but ultimately I knew, in my gut, that this was where I belonged, and I haven't looked back." New York Post
Diamond Leung: The Warriors announced they will wear slate alternate uniforms for every Saturday home and away game for the rest of the regular season. Twitter @diamond83
Diamond Leung: Steve Kerr on Michael Jordan before Hornets game: "We don't really stay in touch other than running into each other at occasional events." Twitter @diamond83
Wilt Chamberlain never won a championship with the Warriors, but his monstrous stats make him the clear pick for No. 1 player in franchise history.

Search Market Share: Google Up, Bing Flat, Yahoo Hits New Low
The financial analysts are starting to expose search market share data for May, ahead of the official release of those numbers by comScore tomorrow. If they're accurate the data we saw reflect another monthly decline for Yahoo and AOL. Bing was flat while Google gained.
Here are the numbers:
- Google: 66.7 percent in May (vs. 66.5 percent in April)
- Bing: 15.4 percent (vs. 15.4 percent in April and 14.1 percent a year ago)
- Yahoo: 13.4 percent (vs. 13.5 percent in April; and 15.9 percent a year ago)
- Ask: 3 percent (vs. 3 percent in April)
- AOL: 1.5 percent (vs. 1.6 percent in April)
These figures don't reflect mobile search queries or market share. In mobile Google enjoys a roughly 95 percent share in the US market.
The numbers above represent the 9th consecutive monthly decline for Yahoo's search market share and a new low.
Below is a graphical representation of US search market share comparing May 2012 vs May 2011.

Apple Disables Trim Support On 3rd Party SSDs In OS X
Re:This isn't new (327 comments)
Wear leveling is only part of the picture. Whenever the SSD erases a block (for wear leveling OR because one sector in the block has been rewritten) it empties any sectors in that block which have been trimmed. The next write to an empty sector requires no erase and copy, thus it's far faster.
Without trim, a visible sector, once used, is never again empty. This means that every write requires a block copy and erase.
I haven't heard of any SSD remapping sectors as opposed to remapping full blocks. Not saying it's impossible, just that I don't think it's generally done. In principle you could journal sectors to a non-user visible area and then do your copy/erase activity when the drive is reasonably idle. But the description of the Sandforce controllers I read suggests it doesn't have the necessary hardware for that.

Late Registration
Kanye's sophomore LP, 2005's expansive Late Registration, featured the return of Dropout Bear. He's wide-eyed and smaller. Maybe that's how Kanye felt after the unexpected success of his first album. Or how he would feel a few days after the album's release, when he said "George Bush doesn't care about black people" on live TV. Either way, the Bear's spiffed up uniform and the cover's darker look reflect the more mature, serious subject matter and tone on Late Registration.

Mental health nurses based at police stations & courts in £25m pilot scheme
A new pilot scheme posting mental health nurses at police stations and courts is to be trialled at ten locations nationwide - including Dorset, Sussex, Avon and Wiltshire and South Essex.
The care and support minister Norman Lamb said the project aims to reduce reoffending rates by mentally ill criminals, by ensuring the offenders are treated "as early as possible"
The Department of Health said that the majority of people who end up in prison have a mental health problem, a substance misuse problem or a learning disability, and one in four has a severe mental health illness such as depression or psychosis.
Over the next year the £25m scheme will be used to join up police and courts systems with mental health services in Merseyside, London, Avon and Wiltshire, Leicester, Sussex, Dorset, Sunderland and Middlesbrough, Coventry, South Essex and Wakefield.
If the pilot project is successful, the measure will be rolled out across the rest of the country by 2017.

The music IS it's best feature. But the feature itself, while showing good animation, didn't do TOO much for me. (Do I even WANT to know what that white, shape changing goo was?^_^)
stick man escapes! yay! I wish I could do flash as well as you! it's taking me forever to make even one video because I am so busy! and also the stupid person who is teaching me flash doesn't quite know what she's doing! XP
oh well! when I make my first video I hope it to be at least half as good as yours!
Double Meh
Not a fan at ALL of stick figures. Bleh. But the song was good and the animation was fluid, so I'll give you credit for that. The humor wasn't that great either though.
i liked and still like it :)
its nice, original, like it :)
Ah, Carmen. You can't go wrong.
When I heard that opera being used in this animation I knew this was going to feature something big.
Boy, was I right.
You're one of the best artists on Newgrounds, hands down.
Keep up the amazing work.

Dancer Linda Austin and visual artists Pat Boas and Linda Hutchins have created a 45-minute collaborative work, titled The Word Hand and performed at Austin's space Performance Works NW, a dance that lives in the intersection of movement, sound and visual art. Exploring the walls, the floor and the ceiling, together they create a sacred space where there is no hierarchy of form.
They co-play, interplay and solo play with each other and their art forms. Playing with light, corridors of space, shades of white, grey and black and with an accent of red, we are invited into that particular creative state where you lose your sense of time and follow a creative thread to the end. The production concludes at 8 pm Saturday night, Oct. 25, at Performance Works NW, 4625 SE 67th Ave.
As we enter the performance space at Performance Works Northwest, we are invited to pick up a piece of black charcoal chalk and draw a line across a large piece of paper attached to the wall. The chalk is oily and dry between my fingers, and when it meets the paper and I move across the space, I become aware that this evening will be sensorial. I'm excited to draw on the "wall," and I can feel the texture of the paper and of the wall behind it as the bumpiness reverberates through my arm.

It won't be easy to fix the broken performance management system
Office of Personnel Management Director John Berry said recently that he believes the federal government's system for evaluating employee performance is broken and must be reformed.
"Our formal performance reviews are infrequent and rote," Berry said March 16 during a keynote address at the Interagency Resources Management Conference. "Employees may be getting useful feedback from their manager, but the formal review process seems to take place in Garrison Keillor's Lake Wobegon, where everyone is above average. If that doesn't make our performance ratings suspect, I don't know what would."
Improving performance management is one of OPM's long-term goals, and Berry said efforts are already under way to develop a new system that sets clear, measurable goals; allows for constructive and continuous feedback; and appropriately recognizes employees' successes.
The government currently manages performance with four tools: standards, reviews, ratings and awards.
Experts agree with Berry that the government's performance management system is unclear and subjective and needs attention. As a result, they offered suggestions on how the government can begin the challenging task of closing the gap on performance management.
Jon Desenberg, senior policy director at the Performance Institute, said he thinks the government's biggest problem when it comes to overseeing employee performance is that it has too many poor managers.
"We pick people to manage who aren't really trained as managers," Desenberg said. To improve employee performance, federal managers must demonstrate their ability to lead, develop goals with their employees and follow through on those goals, he added.
He recommended that managers receive training to learn the necessary skills.
Weak managers also cause employee performance plans to suffer because they fail to align the plans with the agency's mission, Desenberg said, adding that some supervisors simply copy the same plan from one year to the next.
Although Berry has backed off from the idea of implementing a federal pay-for-performance system, it is almost certain that the issue will come up again in the future. Desenberg and others said inadequate supervision caused the government's last pay-for-performance attempt — the Defense Department's National Security Personnel System — to fail.
"It all rides on the supervisor to pull [performance management] off and be effective at what he [or she] does," said Howard Risher, a pay and performance consultant. "Their effectiveness is usually the most important determinant of how well people perform."
In that vein, the President's Management Council launched an initiative in February to strengthen the Senior Executive Service, but the outcome remains to be seen.
Going beyond training
However, Risher said he doesn't think training managers is the answer. "There's actually research that shows how quickly people forget what they get trained on," he said. "For training to change behavior, that new behavior has to be reinforced" — by agency leaders, for example.
Instead of training, Risher said the government should consider hiring management coaches — a popular practice in the private sector. Enabling employees to provide feedback on their supervisors is another strategy that is common at corporations and could help the government, he added.
The government must also strictly enforce consequences for supervisors and employees who aren't performing well, experts said. Berry alluded to that issue in his remarks at the management conference.
Risher said the government might want to consider switching from its widely used five-level rating system to a three-level scale to better differentiate high and low performers.
"There is no rating system out there that's perfect," he said. "One of the reasons for three levels is that it minimizes the problem of disagreements about ratings."
In addition, government officials might want to establish management committees in which federal managers and supervisors must justify and defend the ratings they give their employees. Such an approach would ensure that managers take the process a lot more seriously, Risher added.
In addition, it's important for agencies to empower employees by thoroughly explaining what's expected of them. "In other words, tell employees what they're supposed to do and let them figure out how to do it," said Laura Langbein, a professor at American University's School of Public Affairs. Employees "want autonomy over their own jobs."

Frosty a victim of 'armed' robbery
Updated On: Dec 04 2012 06:39:41 PM EST
An "armed" robbery, of sorts, left a Dundalk neighborhood up in arms over a horrific crime against the holidays caught on camera.
A Frosty the Snowman display beloved by neighborhood kids on Church Road may never be the same after someone took his arms around 6:45 a.m. Saturday.
Charles Smith said he never thought something this bad could happen to him, and he's angry.
"I was shocked," Smith said. "I can't believe somebody would do this."
Someone seen on surveillance video calmly got out of a car, entered Smith's property and stole the arms off of a plastic Frosty the Snowman lawn decoration.
"I was sitting there Saturday morning and I looked and said, 'Hold on. Frosty had some arms. What happened to them?'" Smith said. "We went back on the footage and saw the guy pull up here and watched him walk up into the yard like he owned it and he took Frosty's arms."
A quick survey of the neighborhood showed other Christmas ornaments remained intact. Smith said there are other snowmen decorations in the neighborhood, but only one has arms.
"This is the holidays, you know? You just don't go out stealing people's lawn ornaments. It's just something you don't do," Smith said.
Police have some leads in the case, but Smith said he's not sure if he will file charges. On Tuesday, Smith said all he wants -- and all Frosty wants -- are his arms back.
