I, Cactus (a.k.a. Khonnor) Green Cactus
- Words: Julian Fane

Someone sent this one to me, and while it's not the kind of thing I would normally be into, for some reason I keep putting it on. Pretty standard SID sounds, but used with a lot of taste and restraint. Makes me want to buy a Monomachine.

Back when he was riding the diabolical headwinds of his popular series of graphic novels, The Sandman, the author attended a party where he introduced himself as a comic-book writer to a newspaper's literary editor. But when the editor quickly realized who this actually was -- and the glaze melted from his eyes -- he offered Gaiman a correction tinged with astonishment: "My God, man, you don't write comics, you write graphic novels." Relating the story to theLos Angeles Times in 1995, Gaiman said, "I suddenly felt like someone who had been informed that she wasn't a hooker, that in fact she was a lady of the evening."
Gaiman's done much more, of course, than simply write graphic novels, having coauthored, with Terry Pratchett, Good Omens, a comic novel about the Apocalypse; adapted into hardcover the BBC miniseries Neverwhere about the dark underworld beneath the streets of London; and, inspired by his young daughter, put a horrifying spin on C.S. Lewis' wardrobe doors for Coraline, a children's book about a passageway into a magical, yet malevolent, land.
But it is The Sandman that is Gaiman's magnum opus.
Though he had told a career counselor in high school that he wanted to pen comic books, he had a career as a freelance journalist before his first graphic novel, Violent Cases, was published in England in 1987. DC Comics discovered him and The Sandman was born. Or reborn, actually. The comic debuted back in 1939 with a regular-Joe crime fighter in the lead. But in Gaiman's hands the tale had a more otherworldly spin, slowing introducing readers to the seven siblings Endless: Dream, Death, Desire, Destiny, Destruction, Despair and Delirium (once Delight). They all have their roles in shaping the fates of man. In fact, when Death was imprisoned for decades, the results were devastating. Richard Nixon reached The White House and Michael Jackson the Billboard charts.
Direction from newspaper editors notwithstanding, to Gaiman, these stories are still comic books. The man who shuttled back and forth between comics and classics in his formative years and can pepper his writing with references to Norse mythology as well as the vaudevillian rock group Queen, never cottoned to such highbrow/lowbrow distinctions. Comparing notes on a yachting excursion with members of the Irish rock band U2, the writer who looks like a rock star and Delirium and the rock stars who gave themselves comic-worthy names such as Bono and The Edge came to a realization: Whether the medium is pop music or comic books, not being taken seriously can be a plus. "It's safer to be in the gutter," he told The Washington Post in 1995.
In 1995, Gaiman brought The Sandman to a close and began spending more time on his nongraphic fiction, including a couple of short-story collections. A few years later he released Stardust, an adult fairy tale that has young Tristan Thorn searching for a fallen star to woo the lovely but cold Victoria Forester. In 2001, he placed an ex-con named Shadow in the middle of a war between the ancient and modern dieties in American Gods. Coming in October 2002 is another departure: an audio recording of Two Plays for Voices, which stars Bebe Neuwirth as a wise queen doing battle with a bloodthirsty child and Brian Dennehy as the Angel of Vengeance investigating the first crime in history in heaven's City of Angels.
Gaiman need not worry about defining his artistic relevance, since so many other seem to do it for him. Stephen King, Roger Zelazny and Harlan Ellison are among those who have contributed introductions to his works. William Gibson, the man who coined the term "cyberspace," called him a "a writer of rare perception and endless imagination" as well as "an American treasure." (Even though he's, technically, a British treasure transplanted to the American Midwest.) Even Norman Mailer has weighed in: "Along with all else, Sandman is a comic strip for intellectuals, and I say it's about time."
The gushiest praise, however, may come from Frank McConnell, who barely contained himself in the pages of the political and artistic journal Commonweal. Saying Gaiman "may just be the most gifted and important storyteller in English," McConnell crowned Sandman as the most important act of fiction of the day. "And that, not just because of the brilliance and intricacy of its storytelling -- and I know few stories, outside the best of Joyce, Faulkner, and Pynchon, that are more intricate," he wrote in October 1995, " but also because it tells its wonderful and humanizing tale in a medium, comic books, still largely considered demimonde by the tenured zombies of the academic establishment."
"If Sandman is a 'comic,'" he concluded, "then The Magic Flute is a 'musical' and A Midsummer Night's Dream is a skit. Read the damn thing: it's important."
"One of the most enjoyable bits of writing Sandman was getting authors whose work I love to write the introductions for the collected graphic novels -- people like Steve Erickson, Gene Wolfe, Harlan Ellison, Clive Barker, Peter Straub, Mikal Gilmore, and Samuel R. Delany."
"I have a big old Addams Family house, with -- in the summertime -- a vegetable garden, and I love growing exotic pumpkins. As a boy in England I used to dream about Ray Bradbury Hallowe'ens, and am thrilled that I get them these days. Unless I'm on the road signing people's books, of course."
"According to my daughters, my most irritating habit is asking for cups of tea."
"I love radio -- and love the availability of things like the Jack Benny radio shows in MP3 format. I'm addicted to BBC radio 7, and keep buying boxed CD sets of old UK radio programs, things like Round the Horne and Hancock's Half Hour. Every now and again I'll write a radio play."
"I love thunderstorms, old houses, and dreams."

But that was November 1998, and Daleo's work was fighting with two other artists' in a group show at Fort Worth's only cooperative gallery. Now, he's back with a whole new frame of reference, and his 14 new paintings must stand alone in his first solo exhibition. "I was so sick of those planes," Daleo says, throwing up his hands, spreading long, thin fingers in a gesture of exasperation. He's 35, quietly intense and soft-spoken. He grew up in Beaumont, but has lived in Dallas since 1990. His dark eyes and hair are a testament to Italian heritage, but he has pale skin. He's thoughtful, pausing almost too long before he speaks. "It's not like I thought about what I did in the past, but it's not like I didn't think about it either. Things run their course. You live, and things change. You develop new interests."
He calls this show Disco-pression, which, until he begins to explain it, makes no sense. How could these images of strange astronauts and Smurfs in oddly fractured environments have anything to do with disco? "I had spent time studying disco balls," Daleo says. "I was just playing with light. Impressionism was the study of light, so I called this hyperstudy 'disco-pression.' It doesn't mean anything serious, though."
Saturday and Sunday:
noon-5 p.m.,
By appointment
(817) 336-6595
Daleo's figures have an animé feel, particularly in the faces. Picture Speed Racer in a NASA helmet, complete with black earphones, and you get a sense of the guy in "Spacewalk.29036." For "Assassin," though, Daleo deviates from the animated faces to paint a stark and scary, bearded space warrior -- something akin to Jean-Claude Van Damme -- to set a more sinister mood and elicit a different response. The viewer is captivated by the figure's face in this piece, and the interesting, dramatic background fades in importance.
Daleo puts random numbers with text in his titles to play up the space-age, new-millennium, technological theme. "Technology is such a huge part of our current culture, and I think these images are a part of that," he says. These paintings speak to the disconnection of humans in a technological world as well. Daleo says he completed most of the work this year, and all of it since October. "I wanted something new and fresh," he says. "I wanted some kind of space-age thing, and it's ironic that they're figurative. I really hate figurative paintings -- 99.9 percent of it. But I like these, because they're my idea of a new man or a new figure for this new century."
Daleo's shattered colors and fractured images are mesmerizing in the warren of small white rooms at Gallery 414. They are all bright; if the backgrounds aren't swirls of intense, marbleized color, then the figures leap off the canvas in blood-red space suits. Daleo uses a paler palette for the red-suited pieces, so the lone figure seems more isolated yet more dominant than in the vibrantly colored pieces. In "Starwalk, 1999" the recurring red-suited spaceman tumbles in a riotous universe of furious color. Each canvas features a single figure, except for "Spacemen.29072," the largest piece in the exhibition. Four men are arranged in one of Daleo's odd environments, and each seems to be posing for an eerily fractured portrait.
"They are portraits," Daleo says, "and I've painted portraits before, but not like this. Some of them are so new, these generic space guys. They're so generic, yet they're portraits." Daleo says he placed most of the figures alone in an environment to add a sense of mystery and vacancy, depicting a human being, or the occasional Smurf, as emotionally alien. "You get the feeling they're strangely on their own." He expects viewers to be disconcerted at first with his space-age portraits, even though portraiture is historically comfortable for most people. "We all relate to the figure, and we have for millions of years," he says. "Think of the great figures in art and their pathos, energy, ecstasy. We're drawn to them."
But Daleo's portraits are cold and his figures flat, broken up by refracting views through clear, solid cubes that look like ice. The artist set up his compositions by placing toy figures in bottles or basins of ice water. He photographed them, and then chose those with the best effect for his paintings. "I set up little scenarios, little environments. The floating ice was a way to fracture the image and get a more interesting image," he says. The Smurfs were early experiments, and he included three in this show to provide comic relief.

Soo Tired
Hello to all. This is my first entry. Well alot has happened in the past 2 weeks. Saturday, july 10th, a friend of mine died from an overdose. I was so shocked when I found out. He was a really good person and you would have never thought that somethig like that would happen. You have to watch out for that stuff. Drugs aren't a joke and it will take your life so quicky. I will miss him alot. Tuesday july 13th, my friend stacie had her baby. his name is jacob landon. He weighed 8lbs and 7oz. Wednesday the 14th, my boyfriend turned 21 and he went to the strip club. He got so drunk too. I was so mad at him. I don't care to much for the strip club thing especially after what he told me they did. One tried to kiss him, then another was licking all over his chest and his nipples. Then one put her head in his lap and hummed. It just really upsets me that he would let them girls do that knowing I am here at home. Oh well. Last Friday I went to a party with my friends amanda and angie. It was over this girl named tabithas house. I thought it was just gonna be us girls drinking and having fun but like 12 guys showed up over there. it was just really weird. but ricky was out at the strip club so oh well. yesterday we went up to six flags kentucky kingdom for my moms company picinic. we had fun. me and ricky met tommy, robbie, and ashley up there. We all rode some rides. We finally convinced ricky to ride Chang but we got in line and they was like it had to be shut down for a little while. It was crazy. my whole body is aching from walking around all day yesterday. Oh, my mom has to get a hysterectomy july 30. I am gonna stay in the hospital with her and take care of her. Thats my moma and I love her very much. well I am gonna get off here and go clean. ~*Toddles*~

Jordan the Domestic Shorthair Tabby is the Most Lovable Cat in Abilene – KEAN Critters
Before I introduce our next KEAN Critter, with a heavy heart, I hate to report that last week's pair of "Lovable Labs" did not get adopted in time. I was informed by the staff at the shelter that "no one ever adopts or wants the older animals". That is a shame. They were just so beautiful and well behaved. It's so sad.
Okay, now lets see if we can save an innocent critter this week. Can you please help save Jordan the cat?

Florianopolis HotelsAdorned with some of Brazil's most beautiful beaches and inhabited by some of its most beautiful people, Florianopolis is Santa Catarina's single answer to Ibiza and St. Tropez. By day the 33 mile-long island is focused on rest and recreation, but come nightfall its pulsing hedonism haunts lure in the revelers. Here it's all about leisure and pleasures. You can gorge on oysters on the oceanfront, tear through the waves on a surfboard, or simply kick back on the sand in a sunny samba haze.Things to seeFlorianopolis' biggest draws are its miles of pristine beaches. The island is home to 42, many of which are gilded with white gold sands and sit before the warm turquoise waters of the South Atlantic. On the north of the island you'll find Jurere Beach, a tranquil haven of sophisticated sun worshipping, with jets skiers and glossy white yachts skimming the waves. Canasvieiras Beach is another popular patch of paradise. The oldest of Florianopolis' beaches, it's a hotspot for sunbathers and a mecca for surfers. The Tamar Project is run by a team of biologists, dedicated to the conservation and rehabilitation of sea turtles. Nearly every week they release turtles back into the wild, inviting the public to watch. Their center offers a fascinating insight into the creatures, with educational talks and a museum. For shopping laced with Brazilian Flair, visit the bustling Public Market. The historic indoor hub sells all kinds of everything, from local fare to ceramics.Hotels in FlorianopolisFrom towering downtown digs to sprawling beachfront resorts laden with amenities, there's a huge variety of hotels in Florianopolis. The large luxury accommodations offer the likes of golf courses, tennis courts, and spa centers, whilst those seeking seclusion can rent a ritzy villa overlooking the ocean instead. Many of the mid-range accommodations here also boast glittering sea views, be it from a balcony or a palm lined dining terrace. The larger establishments often come with swimming pools and fitness centers, whilst inner city boutique hotels offer a more intimate stay. Cheap hotels in Florianopolis are dotted throughout the island, particularly downtown, and offer superb value for money. Where to stayJurere offers all the things that lure people to Florianopolis in the first place - sun, sea, and idyllic natural scenery. Home to cushy accommodations and studded with boutiques, restaurants and glitzy nightlife haunts, it's like a Brazilian St. Tropez, attracting families and party goers alike. Canasvieiras offers less in the way of glamour, and more in the way of lazy seaside days. A holiday hotspot for families, it's home to over a mile of immaculate beach. For urbanites that don't like getting sand in their shoes, a hotel in Florianopolis' Downtown is a good call. A cosmopolitan hub of high rise buildings, the leafy historic old town a must-explore.How to get to FlorianopolisLocated on the island itself just 7 miles from the city center, Hercilio Luz International Airport will be the point of entry into the region for most. Regardless of where you choose to stay, getting to your hotel once you've landed should never take more than an hour's drive, thanks to Florianopolis' size. Outside the airport you'll find plenty of taxis and shuttle services offering a door to door service, with a journey to Jurere taking around 40 minutes. For those travelling in via a coach or bus, Terminal Rita Maria is the island's primary bus station, situated in the city center.

Best Place to Meet MILFs Miami 2008 - Produce section of the Publix in Brickell
Produce section of the Publix in Brickell
134 Coral Way
Miami, FL 33130
Look, don't try to figure this one out; it's a fucking mystery to us all. This town is just bursting with MILFS.
Compounding this mystery is the fact that an inordinate amount of them congregate in this particular produce section. This is evidenced by the slow-moving dolts who shuffle down the aisles at the rate of about three feet per minute. They stare, mystified, at the immaculate female forms, carting their one or two or three children around like magic tricks. It's as though they just pulled them all out of a top hat.
What goes on, man? What goes on?!?

Scientists have long pondered the mystery of why humans, unlike other species, cry emotional tears. A new study provides a few answers — as well as raising a whole bunch of new questions. Basically, researchers found that men who sniffed drops of women's emotional tears became less sexually aroused than when they sniffed a saline solution that had been dribbled down women's cheeks. The sexual arousal was measured in a number of ways, including testosterone levels, skin responses, brain imaging and also self-reporting (i.e. this study wasn't just a bunch of guys claiming that "teary chicks are a boner killer"). Scientists are now debating what this chemical signal in tears might mean — is it a way for women to counter men's aggression? Or could the tears be affecting men in some as-yet-unknown way that is having a knock-on effect on the libido?
Whatever the meaning, here's a practical tip you can take away from this, ladies: We know you may feel all warm and tingly and so connected to your partner after weeping over a film like The Notebook, but don't expect your boyfriend's penis to cooperate if you made him sit through the film with you.

Mr Robinson, I don't know you or your writings. I hope you will correct me where and if I misspeak. If you were so sure of the misguided cooking of Mrs Dean I hope you wrote about it before today. I find if you didn't you are calling the kettle black. I am also going to refer to another article that appeared today in this same publication about is "is the this the golden age now or past for produce". There has been many today trying to point to the abuses of corporate organizations to push Gmo and many other elements in Agriculture for the maximum of profit at the cost of the public's health. It seem that this movement is or are generally refereed to as the foodies or organic people. I feel as if your article is just as trying to push your empire for the sake of your pocket book. This reminds me of last night when ESPN and many other top notch media announcing Joe of Penn State dead hours before he was. Are you only willing to talk about the difficult subjects when its popular?I have put my money where my mouth is and have been farming Organically . I can tell you its beat my brains out trying to do the right thing. I've tried to be active before the tidal wave .

This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
Message:UCLA is a bit closer to LAX and certainly closer to the ocean, assuming that's where you want to stay. But there are also plenty of nice hotels downtown, which is much closer to both USC and Dodger Stadium. One other factor: USC is readily accessible by subway (Expo Line); UCLA is not.
I've never been to Dedeaux Field at USC, where we play Saturday afternoon, March 9. Jackie Robinson Stadium, where we play UCLA Friday night, March 9, is nice, although it's a pretty long walk from there to the rest of UCLA's campus (you'd have to go under the 405 Fwy). It's been many years since I was at JRS, but parking shouldn't be a big issue.
LA traffic is hideous during Friday rush hour, and also can be bad on Saturday afternoons. It shouldn't be an issue getting to Dodger Stadium on Sunday morning.
I have an arbitration hearing downtown on Friday, so I'm more likely to go to the USC game Saturday and the OU game at Dodger Stadium on Sunday.
As I finished this post I became worried that the LA Marathon might be on that Sunday. Fortunately, it's the next Sunday, March 17. Bad news if you're an Irish marathoner in LA, but good news for those wanting reasonable hotel rates for ND's trip.

Workplace equality took center stage in New York last night at the Eighth Annual LGBT Workplace Awards Seminar and Reception. HRC honored 189 companies as 2012 "Best Places to Work for LGBT Equality." Companies receiving the "Best Places to Work for LGBT Equality" distinction scored 100 percent on the HRC Foundation's 2012 Corporate Equality Index, the national standard evaluating policies, practices and diversity efforts relating to LGBT workers. The Index considers non-discrimination policies, benefits, diversity training and other internal resources for LGBT workers, as well as external support for LGBT consumers and job seekers.

Why? Why not?Posted by geoff in Philosophy
It's easy to get tricked into thinking that simplicity is somehow preferable. After all, Occam's Razor exhorts us to stick to simple explanations. But that's a way to compare different explanations that equivalently account for the same sets of facts; comparing different sets of possible underlying rules for the universe is a different kettle of fish entirely.
And he points out that it's critical to distinguish between "simpler" in the Occam sense and "simplicity" as an aesthetic preference:
And, to be honest, it's true that most working physicists have a hope (or a prejudice) that the principles underlying our universe are in fact pretty simple. But that's simply an expression of our selfish desire, not a philosophical precondition on the space of possible universes. When it comes to the actual universe, ultimately we'll just have to take what we get.
As Sean concludes, the problem is that we're making a kind of category mistake in even asking the question:
Ultimately, the problem is that the question — "Why is there something rather than nothing?†— doesn't make any sense. What kind of answer could possibly count as satisfying? What could a claim like "The most natural universe is one that doesn't exist†possibly mean? As often happens, we are led astray by imagining that we can apply the kinds of language we use in talking about contingent pieces of the world around us to the universe as a whole.

5 Energy Questions for Mitt Romney
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The U.S. is set to become the Middle East of the 21st century, proclaimed a Citigroup report earlier this year. And that's, more or less, Mitt Romney's platform when it comes to energy.
The shale boom and the revolution in drilling technology mean that if there there's a will -- and a hands-off federal government, as far as the Republican Party has it -- there's a way in making America energy independent. In fact, Romney says we can accomplish the task in eight years. He's not the first American politician to set the ambitious goal of energy independence, though all who have come before him have failed. Yet, thanks to the shale boom, the goal is ever more in reach, or at least, within reason. It also leads to some important energy policy questions that haven't received enough focus amid the sound bites over creating jobs through oil and gas and getting away from "our addiction to Middle East oil."
With that in mind, here are five questions for Mitt Romney to answer about the implications of trying to make America energy independent in eight years.
1. The price tag for eight years to energy independence. In the oil and gas business, there's a chart know as "the scorpion's tale." It shows the point at which capital spending on new drilling projects bends all the way back around to wipe out the profit from existing projects and become an economic "wash" for the companies involved.Eight years seems like an ambitious target for making the U.S. energy independent. It will require a massive investment from companies that, by their nature, are extensively leveraged. A sudden change in the global economy and commodities prices can make leverage an existential crisis in a hurry. In the push to make the country energy independent, "getting out of industry's way" is a defensible idea, since they know much more about avoiding the scorpion's tail than the government does. But giving them this goal does beg the question: Have you given any thought to how much this is going to cost? 2. Geopolitical destabilization. Weaning the U.S. from foreign oil is a laudable goal that's been around for a long time. That said, there's about 100 years of geopolitical history that has been founded on the current status quo in the oil markets and, in particular, the Middle East. It doesn't seem like a simple point A (get off Middle East oil) to point B (no more geopolitical issues). In fact, as we have seen in the aftermath of the Arab Spring, democracy is messy. That doesn't mean there shouldn't be democracy, and doesn't mean there shouldn't be an effort to make the nation as energy independent as it can be. However, a lot of current and historical foreign policy is based, at least in part, on oil politics. You know what they say: Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. How do you prevent destabilization in the Middle East as we break our "addiction" to their oil, and what is your specific foreign policy plan to manage this transition?

Set on Block Island, Rhode Island and New York City, this historical novel, a classic American Tale, is the story of how a United States Weather Officical on Block Island and his family, uncover and prevent a series of potentially deadly attacks on the United States just prior to our entry into the Great European War. The novel takes place in October, 1916, one month before Woodrow Wilson wins re-election under the platform, "The United States will not enter the Great European War."
The trouble begins when three strangers arrive on Block Island just months before the United States enters World War I. A close-knit family working together at Block Island's United States Weather Station don't trust these strangers-for what turns out to be a very good reason. Even before the first murder occurs, the Weather House crew realizes they need reinforcements, but who can they trust? It becomes their burden to unlock these strangers' true objectives, which, if carried out, will decidedly change the course of our nation's history.
With the family's two sisters at the center of the action, The Weather House-equal parts international espionage, mystery, adventure, and historical-explores relationships and communication, motives, failure, hidden agendas and loss, and the purpose of life. Set at a time when death and loss are synonymous with an isolated island life, this debut novel reminds us that unrelenting determination is a formidable companion and is within reach for us all.
This is a webcam overlooking the old harbor region of block island.

Jennifer Nettles Talks About Her Solo Album On The Tanner In The Morning Show
(CBS Radio) — Earlier this morning, our listeners heard Jennifer Nettles on the Tanner in the Morning Show — talking about her first solo album.
The album, That Girl, became available for purchase this morning.
When asked about That Girl, Nettles said, "For me, I so enjoy exploring the topics less explored. I enjoy digging around in the shadows. I enjoy celebrating those different stories and characters that don't always get the most celebrated. Because that's life, (and) life isn't always shiny or perfect and yet, it doesn't have to be black and white. There are some stories worth exploring that can teach us about ourselves," said Nettles.
Many of you know Nettles as the lead singer of Sugarland. While rumors have surfaced recently about the duo breaking up, Nettles assures us that the group has not made any permanent decisions regarding their future.
When asked about the future of the group, Nettles explained that they have left it open-ended. She adds, "I love what I've done within Sugarland, but there was something (else) I wanted to do and something I wanted to prove. I would like to do some more projects as a solo artist."
Listen to the full interview here:
That Girl Track Listing:
1. "Falling" (Written by Jennifer Nettles)
