I used to practice medicine in the jungle
Is what I'll tell them when they ask about my life
In the jungle, in French Guiana
In a hut with a small team
Doctor, say the children
And off I go
With my tools
With my leather briefcase
Into the trees to save lives
To nurse dying relatives with coconuts
Into the trees to bandage heat rash
Malaria conquered with a hand behind my back
Riverflood diverted with engineering magic
Plague and misery and want forgotten for a time
Forgotten as I joke with village elders
As I impress young women
My watch a spectacle
My arm on a bar on a night off
Two more, I'll tell them I say
And I see the woman of my dreams
In a twist of dress at the far end as she dances with a man
Her bare feet soaring to avoid mango on the floor
Her dress the color of parrots
I'll tell them about the monsoons
The nights it rained thick into the vegetation
The music of those nights turned to songs lost in gunfire
The sides of our dwellings the mornings after caked
All darkly sticky and caught in a damaged mosquito net
The river earth of mudslid ground cemented
Hairlike swirls that lead out and past our doorway to the jungle
I'll tell them about the flight home
Years after the work had been finished
When they finally caught up with me
The men in chinos
The long-expected termination of my visa
The Tylenol
The embassy redeye
The way that I slept in row 27
Cleanly snoozing into a towel
A bit of paper stuck in a dot of blood on my chin
The light thrum of ambient cabin nocturne
A red-blue-white Miami-bound blink in time

"Castle Hell"
The wild-eyed groundskeeper
Living at the end of the village

"Big Guy"
The soil that the old farmer had planted those little, football-shaped seeds into had, admittedly, been quite dark. Some would say that the earth was as black as oil, and it had the peculiar consistency of old grape junk, but, he had figured it being nothing more than a high concentration of decomposition from all of the area's past foresting. Yet, by the sixth victim's passing on the first night of that thing's arrival, Fred Burns, award-winning patch farmer and proud owner of Oak's Shade Nurseries, began to figure something far more insidious was afoot.

"When The Bleeding Man Walks Through Town"
The kids on the street stop dead when they meet
When the bleeding man walks through town
The wives in the house stow knives in their blouse
When the bleeding man walks through town
And the men with their guns should know when to run
When the bleeding man walks through town
Hide the babes, hide the kids
Pray for rain, screw the lids
When the bleeding man walks through town
Lock the door, kill the lights
Pray no more, it's alright
When the bleeding man walks through town

The rivulets of gore-filled pours
Recess through notches in the floor
Standing at the door
Looking on after his pit
Is a conductor with a spit of death
And before him
One thousand chatty crows

"The Sea Witch"
Shortly after dusk on a cold, October evening, set to the timeless, rhythmic shushing of the rising tide, an impossible fire grew from boatwood and dune grass to reveal the woman at once. There was no heat in those flames, and it was as if the light of the intensifying blaze, as it occurred, was tapping the very sun as it waned at the western edge of the world. Her gown was soaked in seawater the dark thud pulse color of a distant hurricane; her eyes, concussive blue-dark pearls that reflected fire in pinpoints of flickering hell.
She raised her arms to the wind and sang, clutching in each hand the impressive ingredients for unspeakable rituals before casting them from thin air to hand to fire. And it went on like this: she began slowly with the wreckage of an ancient ship, pulling wood from an amorphous hole in the world and piling it high in a terrible construction of steaming mayhem. Quietly, she threw fistfuls of slick black tidal mud mixed into cold paint with the tube guts and blood of beached fish. She carved out bird spells in sea glass with the bladed edges of broken conch shells. She threw whole handfuls of sand and grass with striking speed into clouds that caught it and sent it away in dancing swirls. She chanted in time with the tide, and the winds rose. Tiny storms began in her heart.
The speed of it seemed unreal, as if time acted differently for the woman and the fire and the world set in total opposition to them. The gusts and violence were voluminous, feeding the inferno with an old spirit. The wood of the otherwordly vessel dried, splintered black, and exploded in a constellation of fireflies to the backdrop of shrill laughter. The knotted lights in the depths of her eyes dilated wildly, and a grin of diabolical satisfaction revealed with parting lips of remarkably dark beauty the carnivorous teeth of an ancient and wild thing.
In time, the witch had stopped.
The sun was gone. The moon was gone, too. An array of living stars spread out in the sky that was the pitch color of soot shrouding the coast. The flames, now naturally hot and small, had died to a slow crackle around the skeleton assembly of burned things. The low thrum of high tide pulled up on the sand, only to pull away again with a watery hiss. Glints of light caught in the emerald crags of tumbled sea glass at the foot of a log by a gull that blinked, cleaned its plumage with a couple motions of its face, and flew away into the night.

"The Bites"
The hole in the wall by the stairs at the door
Opens once in the night for the darks that seek more
In the night, the Bites come
Without light, without thumbs
Without sight, without gums
And it's your legs that they seek
All of the meat in your feet
All of the teeth in your head
And the hands in your bed
And the lids of your eyes
Which are just right size
(A HALLOWEEN, 2013 SPECIAL) DARK TALES FROM EASTON, part one
"The Darks"
By late October of 1975, the old half farm house at the far end of Sink Street began its term of total isolation. Town officials for Cedar Hill pointedly did away with incidental foot and car traffic in 1974 with the emergency construction of a new highway that stunted the entrance of the street, making it an island of reality. In 1976, a wall built to retain sound lined the fast lane of route 67 for the quarter of a mile where hints of the broken road could be spotted by commuters in traffic. Large trees beyond that were planted to edge its top, pretty red cedars the grew a peculiar sooty color. In 1977, traffic in the left two lanes of the route passing the street was disallowed outright overnight, a move later described in newspapers as one needed for the prolonged integrity of the overpass during months of high traffic.
On October 2nd, 1991, decades out from the isolation laws being passed and decades more still from the murders of the children, unknown to the rest of the world and uninterrupted deep in the basement of 19 Sink Street, a small, black rotary telephone began to ring abruptly, muffled by the walls of the buried, bricked up lockbox that investigators had, years earlier, tragically neglected to find.
One Per Day Archive — December 22nd, 2010, "Nathan Tyler, Ocarina of Time"
"Nathan Tyler, Ocarina of Time"
In an interview, Nathan Tyler once remarked that the quality of everything old-seeming to feel as if it had a fine layer of chalk, not dust or death, he said, but chalk, forms a fine example in the winter months, the months where the coldly bright and the awful wind draws everything out and thin, where the objective of most men is to appreciate the wet dark wood of the dead season from the dry inside, to keep the murk and the dreariness for the air of the wilds and to keep everything on the inside of things arid and hot with fire, there accentuating and perpetuating - or, rather, he went on to elaborate, continuing, preserving the effect of dry, clean, chalky, old, as he would have it, effects - old books, clean pages, dry socks, cool sheets that skiff above mattresses with the most complete of airy sounds.
He talked of days by the window, the days he would sit by the electric, breathy film of cool atmosphere near the dusty panes and wonder about the sheer amounts of sunlight bringing a cold, halved illumination to the boxy room. He would remark about the absurd glow of a world so frozen, the strangely alive light, he explained, that remains and pours outward when the world goes to sleep for months. All the while wondering this, he would, as he said, close in on the glass, real close, and keep his nose in the airy cold for long enough of a moment to feel the moisture bounce from the tip of his face to the window pane as frosty dew, small snowflakes that never make it. Tiny circles of human fog, he stated quite plainly, as if the thought had been with him for a while, would hug the outside through clear plate for some seconds before giving up and vanishing completely.
Once done with the interview, Nathan adjusted the left lapel of his wool coat and continued with his coffee.
HF Character Concept — "Baby Abraham"
Her purse and her keys and her clothes always make roughly the same noises as she sides up to the bar. Most of the time, some say she'll show up around like eleven. Girl's a mess. The only guests that are there to notice by that point are people signed up for water aerobics or the general populace of bored beach people - hotel guests that literally had nothing else to do but go outdoors and act the part of the glad vacationer making the most of their time. There isn't much room on the south shore, anyway. Even when it's packed, the recent construction Kellogg had approved after signing on with Galaxy makes it hard to get a decent number in on the best days, and the worst days see rain or off-holiday lulls or something more interesting in the amphitheater on the top floor of the hotel. All of this lets Baby sneak in a pretty impressive amount of well drinks without being disturbed or noticed as a regular, if she's in the mood for it. The Cormorant Club isn't her only haunt.
She flips her purse and digs through its contents, making the hollow, plastic sounds of empty lipstick and compacts. She grabs a five and pulled it flat, holding one end with her right hand and pulling her left thumb along the middle of the bill. It's perfumed with the smells of all her stuff by the time she hands it to the young man behind the bar.
He, in turn, now days trained to her order shorthand, puts a glass of beer and a tumbler of scotch in both her grabby hands. She smiles, pulls a hat down over her head, and makes off for the shade of a nearby stalk. She makes a half-attempt at unfolding a towel and sits on it. She pulls off one shoe awkwardly as she sips scotch. The beer she had ordered she had forgotten on the bar and is sweating cold water by the time she realizes that it's probably too late to grab it. Failing to finish the drink in her hand, Baby Abraham digs the bottom of the glass into the sand to avoid tipping it in her sleep and promptly takes a nap for an hour before getting started with her day.
"There is always a man. There is always a lighthouse. There is always a city…"
"What's the next Big Daddy? Is it Songbird? Is it the Handyman?" No, honestly, it's going to sound counter-intuitive, it's Elizabeth."
"She is the next stage of how we make you emotionally connected to what's going on with the world, what's going on with characters."
"It's a character we create empathy with."
"It's a character that makes you feel that you're a participant in the narrative, you're not just observing."
"That you, as Booker, are interacting with a character and driving the narrative of this experience."
"That's been our mission, making the player part of that and letting them drive their relationship with it rather than watching it passively."
-Ken Levine
Creative Director, Irrational Games
The story is amazing. The characters are amazing. The scope of the narrative is so spot on. Visually, the game is extreme and fantastic. The nuance is there. The use of technology is graceful and inspiring. The resolution of everything is perfectly paced and, really, just kind of astonishing.

April 8th – 15th; COMMISSION WEEK
As is typical for this time of the Spring most years, I find myself with a stretch of manageable free time where I can squeeze in commissions that would otherwise press me for time and energy. My plate of tasks is clean and ready to be refilled! As such, I like dedicating a week to the pure chaos that is finding, wrangling, netting, negotiating, and otherwise bringing about great commissioned work.
Here's my pitch, voiced internally by you by whichever commercial celebrity you deem compelling enough to convey the selling remarks:
"Do you find yourself lonely, on the tail end of your seasonally affected winter depression? Are you energized by the sunlight that seems to be thumbing its way through the smeared dust of your dirty window glass? Are you refreshed by the bitter end of tax season, the electric pop jump start that is late April that could, in another universe, actually have its arrival heralded by the kickstarting of a loud bike engine, boxing bell, or starting pistol? Was tax season great to you? Are you rich? Most important of all, are you in the market to purchase the bright work of a local, Boston-based illustrator to fill the voids on your otherwise snore-worthy bore-fest walls?
You're lonely. You're edging out of the groggy depression of winter months into the bright near-summer sun and smells of blooming flora. You have extra money. Make the right decision for the sake of your own self-care and commission a painting! Works are finished mount-ready and sealed with a resin gloss glassy enough to wow even the most skeptical of art critic houseguests. You have nothing to fear."
Feel free, in this new season, to splurge a bit to help yourself to something remarkably cool that you can end up showing off to people when they visit with you, can ponder in your most quiet hour from your couch on some boring weekday afternoon, or hold on to until I either become famous enough to make the initial value of the work increase dramatically or desperate enough for you to sell it back to me for double the cost!
Get in touch with me at the following address to negotiate the details. Let's start a conversation!

Crab-and-Avocado Salad with Ginger Vinaigrette
From Food & Wine
Creamy avocados plus delicate crabmeat plus a tart ginger-and-lemon vinaigrette equals one great salad. Substitute cooked shrimp or grilled scallops for the crab in the equation, if you like; the result will be just as delicious.

Serves: 4
U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 2 teaspoon(s) chopped fresh ginger
- Grated zest of 1/2 lemon
- 2 teaspoon(s) lemon juice
- 1.50 tablespoon(s) white- or rice-wine vinegar
- 2 scallions including green tops, chopped
- 1 teaspoon(s) soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1/3 cup(s) cooking oil
- 3/4 pound(s) watercress, tough stems removed (about 2 quarts)
- 1/2 head romaine lettuce (about 3/4 pound), cut crosswise into 1-inch strips (about 2 quarts)
- 2 ripe avocados, preferably Haas, diced
- 1/2 pound(s) lump crabmeat, picked free of shell
- In a blender, combine the ginger, lemon zest, lemon juice, vinegar, scallions, soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Pulse to chop. Add the oil and puree until smooth.
- In a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, combine the watercress, romaine, avocados and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss the salad with all but 3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette and mound the salad on plates.
- Toss the crabmeat with the remaining vinaigrette. Spoon the dressed crabmeat over the salads.
- Notes: Wait until you're ready to toss the salad before dicing the avocados. The acidity in the vinaigrette will keep them from turning brown.
- Wine Recommendation: Avocados are so rich it can be hard to find a wine to match. Opt for contrast instead by using a crisp Italian white wine such as Soave or Orvieto. Its fresh but neutral flavors will stand back and let the salad shine.

Lyon rise to Ligue 1 summit
Olympique Lyonnais have taken over at the top of Ligue 1 after their 3-0 defeat of Stade de Reims Champagne combined with a 1-0 loss at FC Girondins de Bordeaux for Olympique de Marseille.
Paris Saint-Germain FC's 2-1 defeat by Stade Rennais FC on Saturday presented Lyon with the chance to move clear at the summit, and they took the lead via Anthony Weber's own goal on the stroke of half-time. Bafétimbi Gomis then pounced to collect his sixth league goal this term 17 minutes from time, and Lisandro struck at the end after being fed by a superb Steed Malbranque pass.
Marseille could have moved back into pole position in the late game, but Élie Baup's men suffered their third league reverse this term at Bordeaux. Yoan Gouffran turned in a Benoît Trémoulinas cross at the near post seven minutes into the second half to send the hosts up to second, a point shy of Lyon and one ahead of both PSG and Marseille.

Georgia Aquarium Announces
Three Rescued Sea Otter Pups
Three rescued southern sea otter pups have found a new home at the world's most magical aquarium, in Atlanta. Bixby, Cruz and Brighton – named after geographical locations along the central California coast, the natural habitat of the southern sea otter – are being housed in parts of the newly renovated Georgia-Pacific Cold Water Quest gallery at Georgia Aquarium. The new sea otter exhibit space opened in May, after a remodel to vastly enlarge the support areas, to create more housing options and long-term care of the Aquarium's current otters, Gracie and Oz, and to provide space for any potential rescued animals in the future.
Southern sea otters (Enhydra lutris nereis) are currently listed on the IUCN Red List as "endangered," the U.S. Endangered Species Act as "threatened," and under the Marine Mammal Protection Act as "depleted." According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the most recent sea otter census showed a continued downward trend in the number of both adults and pups in California. A number of recent sea otter pup strandings have been associated with shark attacks; in fact, both Bixby and Cruz were orphaned after their mothers were fatally attacked by white sharks.
A Partnership to Save the Pups:
The Sea Otter Research and Conservation (SORAC) program at the Monterey Bay Aquarium (MBA) rescues and manages the care of dozens of stranded southern sea otters each year, and 2010 has been a busy year for stranded pups where several rescue calls came in.
Sea otter pups learn all skills necessary for survival from their mothers at a very early age. In the case of stranded pups, attempts by humans to hand-rear and release them back into the wild has historically been unsuccessful. These days, dependent pups are typically placed with adult female sea otters who act as surrogate mothers, giving them the best chance at survival once released back into the wild. Animals unable to be placed with a surrogate must be hand-reared and relocated to another aquarium facility, like Georgia Aquarium, for long-term care. Sadly, if no space exists, pups will be euthanized because they will not have skills essential for survival.
The first of the rescued otters, Brighton, was found as a 12-week-old pup along the California coast back in June. SORAC staff members believe she was either orphaned or prematurely weaned from her mother in the wild. Veterinary staff also suspected acanthocephalan peritonitis, a condition caused by eating sand crabs infested with parasitic worms. In young or weakened animals, the worms can migrate through the intestinal wall and cause an often-fatal infection. As the treatment of this infection is lengthy and intensive and release of treated animals is often unsuccessful, the pup was deemed non-releasable by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). After her rescue, the SORAC team examined and treated Brighton, who was nurtured to a full recovery and socialized with other sea otters before being transported to Georgia Aquarium for permanent residence in November. Brighton is now 8 months old and weighs 30 pounds (13.8 kg).
In mid-August, Georgia Aquarium's zoological team responded to a request from the SORAC team to support the care and rehabilitation of two additional sea otters pups – Cruz, a two-week-old male pup, and Bixby, a four-week-old female pup. Although the otter pups were found stranded in different locations on different days along the central coastline of California, it was determined that both of the pups' mothers had suffered fatal shark attacks – likely from white sharks, according to biologists. Fortunately, the pups only suffered superficial wounds and both remained in fairly good condition.
At the time of their stranding, SORAC had no surrogate females available to adopt the pups, so they too were deemed non-releasable by USFWS. Georgia Aquarium immediately sent staff to MBA, and they remained with Cruz and Bixby until the animals were transported to Atlanta in September. Young sea otter pups require 24-hour care, which can be labor-intensive and challenging to manage. With the pups unable to care for themselves, biologists stepped in, playing the role as "mom," training the animals to nurse from a bottle and grooming their thick fur to keep them in top condition. After veterinarians and biologists deemed each of the pups' health status acceptable for travel, the animals were transported to Atlanta on a private aircraft.
Georgia Aquarium Welcomes New Pups:
Prior to the animals' arrival, specialized nurseries were set up in the Georgia Aquarium's animal care suites, located in the Correll Center for Aquatic Animal Health. The nurseries allowed biologists to care for the pups and tend to their needs, but also allowed staff to keep the animals isolated from the current sea otter residents until the pups were medically cleared from quarantine and ready to be housed with the Aquarium's adult animals.
Aquarium staff carefully introduced the new pups to Gracie and Oz, the Aquarium's current adult sea otter residents, allowing them to become acclimated to one another before giving them access to the exhibit. All of the animals will be housed in the Georgia-Pacific Cold Water Quest sea otter exhibit area, both on display and in the newly renovated back-of-house support areas. Animal care staff will continue to acclimate the animals to each other and to the various parts of the exhibit area while they adjust to their new home.

Can we get an Ubuntu powered ultrabook with that SoC please?
Phoronix: Benchmarks Of The NVIDIA Tegra K1 & Its Hotness
Here's our first public benchmarks of the NVIDIA Jetson TK1 ARM development board powered by the Tegra K1 SoC with quad-core+1 Cortex-A15 and NVIDIA Kepler GPU. There's also some thermal metrics for those concerned about the active-cooling on this development board...
Can we get an Ubuntu powered ultrabook with that SoC please?
do you mean netbook?
Not necessarily - the Kepler unit on this thing should make just about any netbook IGP look useless*, and a quad-A15 without the usual power/heat constraints should stand up fairly well against lower-end x86 dualcores. Still slow by Ultrabook standards, but I expect it'll be into the low-end real laptop range.
I can't wait to see the benchmarks of this thing!
*Well, a turnip could probably make a netbook's IGP look useless...
I think most of us are much more interested in their Denver Tegra
The compute looks quite impressive! I compared the http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1...KH-NVIDIATEG94 with http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1...PL-1303138FO84 and it generally beats all other SOCs, slotting somewhere between a core2 duo and the i3 on most marks, with cray perf being a positive outlier. Now I can't wait to see grapics perfs!
Let's see how this stacks up against Mullins. I have a hunch...
The 64bit version , right ?
That will be very interesting...in special if someone makes a mITX MoBo with it.
There is a company that make(s) a mITX with a Tegra3 (and that uses 4GB RAM) and a bunch of connectors....very low power.
But then again, with the Kabini, Mullins and Beema (not to mention the lower and lower power drains from Intel offers), i wonder for how long ARM will continue be competitive in a compute_power/power_drain ratio.
Not to mention the compatibility of x86 and it's advantages for many years to come....
Because even this K1 will drain a good chunk more than a Tegra3, wonder Denver....but looking forward with great interest to Michael's comparison vs AM1,etc....should be interesting.
As for custom heatsink (with or without standard size fan) for this MoBo, easy to do if you have a minimum of skill in DIY stuff....very easy to achieve in special because only two mounting points...just like it is to do for AM1.
You could try using Picuntu on a RK3188 tablet
Here is my comparison agains celeron J1900 http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1...PL-1405010KH96 - quite comparable results.
How about es2_info(mesa-utils-extra)? Doubt there's nothing for supporting wayland but one can always dream.
"With the active cooling, the Tegra K1 peaked at 41 Celsius, bottomed out at 30 Celsius when idling, and averaged to 36 Celsisus during the many benchmarks run within the aforelinked result file."
Shouldn't this chip use mW when idling? If you use 700mW when idle shouldn't the chip go to almost room temp? Like 24C or something?

SCSU Soccer Celebrates 20 Seasons
The Husky soccer squad celebrated 20 seasons of SCSU Soccer as they opened up the home portion of the season over the weekend. The Huskies hosted Northwest Missouri State University on Friday night in an aggressive battle on the banks of the Mississippi River. The Huskies scored the first goal of the game as Gabby Fleck sent the ball soaring past the Wildcat goalkeeper, Kelsey Adams. The Wildcats would knot things up at 1-1 before halftime as Anna Calgaard got one past the reigning NSIC goalkeeper of the week Brittany Plombon. SCSU came out of the locker room with a mission in the final portion of the game and scored one more goal off the foot of Naomi Kolhoff which was good enough to send the Huskies out on top with a 2-1 victory.
On Sunday the Huskies started conference play by welcoming the Bulldogs of Minnesota Duluth to Husky Stadium. The Bulldogs proved their offensive weapons in the game was more than the Huskies could handle. UMD took an early lead that the Huskies would never recover. SCSU fell 4-1 in the game. SCSU is now 3-1 on the young season and will host Winona State on Saturday afternoon.

Media concentration and FCC's regulation (2 letters)
Posted By DP Opinion On January 3, 2013 @ 5:00 pm In Letters | 2 Comments
Re: "Don't suspend FCC rules [1]," Jan. 3 guest commentary.
Jim Martin's piece on the FCC was timely. He shines a light on a subtle but huge problem: the concentration of media ownership.
Why is the FCC unwilling to take public testimony on changing the rules allowing even further concentration? That is a question the answer to which I'd probably rather not hear.
I hope the FCC does not allow this rule change behind closed doors. Everyone ought write them, their representative and senators to protest.
Stan Moore, Morrison
This letter was published in the Jan. 4 edition.
Perhaps 10 or 15 years ago I might have been concerned about receiving my news from six companies that "control" the media. But it is clear that a majority of people now get a lot of their information and news online from numerous sources such as Drudge Report, The Huffington Post, YouTube, and I must confess checking out UK online newspapers. And now that Al Gore has sold his Current TV channel to Al Jazeera, we'll have the Middle East perspective.
Clearly there are numerous outlets that are not part of any "monopoly."

#1 Comment By thor On January 3, 2013 @ 6:32 pm
The implication is that the owners of the media outlets want to "control" what is reported. News flash- owners are in it to make money, not control content. And I agre with Susan Mueller, there are many outlets we can go to for information other than NBC, CBS, ABC, NYT, Time, or PBS. Along with those she listed, there is cable TV and talk radio. In other words, there is now less of a chance for news and information to be controlled, not more.
#2 Comment By primafacie On January 4, 2013 @ 10:04 am
"Media concentration" was a concern nearly a century ago when the broadcast spectrum was much smaller and broadcast signals didn't have the reach they have today.
Ironically, it was also a time when most cities had as many as a dozen daily newspapers. While the potential of limited voices in the broadcast media might have been a concern, there was and remains no such situation in the print media.
Today, with a wider broadcast spectrum, the advent of cable and satellite-TV channels that literally number in the thousands, still no physical hurdle to print publishing and this little enterprise we call the internet, limiting media ownership is pointless. Don't like what's on Channel 5, buy a station or start your own cable channel; the Herald-Examiner isn't covering news you like, crank up your own printing press or grab your own corner of the web.
The opportunity for competing voices — and commercial enterprise — abounds. We get back to one time-honored truth: You can speak all you want; the audience will decide if you deserve to be heard.

Krimtastic is new trading and seems to want to send a huge quantity (more than you could use in a lifetime) of the same seeds and expects 15+ varieties in return.. We could not work out a trade because he feels his seeds are far more valuable than the seeds that he is receiving. In my trade experience typically equal amounts/varieties are exchanged in very small quantities (normally enough to get you started )which is in my opinion is the purpose of a trade..to get you a start of a new seed variety..not to trade for enough seed to supply you and your neighbors for a lifetime. When trading krimtastic, make certain that quantities are discussed up front unless you would like to receive thousands and thousands of pepper seeds... I returned the seeds back to Krimtastic.
Seemed friendly and generous, recieved about 3 times the seeds I expected
discussed how many I would send he didn't complain, I sent a few more than I will in the future but was my first trade.
So far no feed back from his end, give it a day or two
we'll see.
Oh Yeah Hello out there I have Korean Hot pepper seeds to trade
He seems like a nice person...I think he just needs to understand the trading system a little better. I have never had a problem with any of my trades until now and I have made many many trades over the years. He should explain to people up front of his intent to send a large volume of seeds before he sends them and they are overwhelmed of the amount he sent. He seems to be a very nice person and I certainly have no hard feelings about our trade just think others should know so that they don't have to experience this same happening.
Wow, again! If you don't have hard feelings then why are you posting in public about me? You already wrote a similar story to me in an email. So what you are actually trying to warn people of is your lack of planning, communication and adaptation.
Here is the real story: I asked you specifically about quantities and you replied "send what you can spare" so I did. I never expected a one for one exchange.
My response to your statements.
"Krimtastic seems to want to send a huge quantity of the same seeds and expects 15+ varieties in return."
I created a wish list and never demanded varieties or quantities from you. The sender ultimately puts seeds into an envelope and I can't force that; nor did I attempt it.
"We could not work out a trade because he feels his seeds are far more valuable than the seeds that he is receiving."
What? I offered an uneven trade of more of my seeds without expectation of an equal amount in return. kim-kell had my seeds and still couldn't understand the concept of an uneven trade no matter how I described it to kim-kell.
"not to trade for enough seed to supply you and your neighbors for a lifetime. "
Please, this is proof of your misunderstanding of time and space. By the way, that is true of even one seed.
"When trading krimtastic, make certain that quantities are discussed up front unless you would like to receive thousands and thousands of pepper seeds."
I asked several times about quantities but you were aloof about it! Then you had a mental breakdown over this and several other equally simple concepts. One of your issues is that you could not understand emails written in plain english.
"I returned the seeds back to Krimtastic."
I never asked for a return. I mentioned using them for future trades or throw them away as I did.
kim-kell become an adult, no matter the cost, just do it.

Yelawolf - Honey Brown (Prod. By DJ Paul & Malay)
Honey Brown Yelawolf Produced by DJ Paul & Malay
Yelawolf drops a new track called "Honey Brown".
Last Halloween, Yelawolf hit us with a 5 track EP in collaboration with Three 6 Mafia's DJ Paul. The pairing was obviously a great match as Paul (along with Malay) has returned on Yela's new single, "Honey Brown".
The rapper described the very circumstances in which the song was written in, saying, "I had 2 of my favorite producers in the same room to make this record."
Yela's sophomore album LOVESTORY is due out sometime this year, though it's not clear if the new record will serve as a single or is simply a warm-up track for the new record.
If you've yet to check it out, make sure to grab the Black Fall EP here.
Quotable Lyrics:
So stop askin' for the pennies
And the hand-me-outs
You gotta look at life
And get it without any doubt
Only a coward has to rob and pull a semi out
Just to open the garage and pull the hemi out

Share Our Sugar Holds Great American Bake Sale
Categories: Coming Attractions
Kids will be able to decorate cupcakes, and there will be raffles for $1 each, proceeds to be "distributed to local organizations that feed children and assure them access to good nutrition." Domino Sugar is one of the main sponsors of the days events, so "good nutrition" in this case is presumably convincing your children that the more white sugar they eat, the healthier they'll be.
In related news, Share Our Sugar -- er, Strength, will be teaming with Phillip Morris to insure that children have decent access to healthful tobacco.

Research Council (NRC) of the NAS developed a list of eight subject areas under which research proposals on HLB could be considered and identified potential review panel members for each. The review panels were appointed, and during the fall of 2008 the review panels met in Washington, D.C., each panel evaluating the corresponding set of proposals. Subsequently, a new panel composed of the chairs of the individual panels and the chair of the new panel, who had not participated in the initial process, evaluated all of the proposals. In December of 2008, the new panel submitted a list of research proposals that were deemed worthy of funding for consideration by the FDOC, which had allocated $20 million for research on citrus HLB and other serious citrus diseases.
As part of its request for assistance with the citrus HLB problem, the FDOC also asked the NAS to assemble and support a study committee that was assigned the task of developing a strategic plan for dealing with the citrus HLB problem. The strategic plan is to deal with the near-term mitigation and research efforts and, in the longer term, organizational and technical approaches to reducing the damaging effects of this devastating disease. The formal proposal to develop the strategic plan was approved by the Executive Committee of the NRC's Governing Board on March 12, 2008. However, the Statement of Task was subsequently revised to include recommendations for ways that the Florida citrus industry can improve its capacity to respond to citrus HLB in a more comprehensive way. The revised Statement of Task, as approved in March, 2009, may be found as Appendix A of this report. In April of 2009, the NRC formed the Committee on Strategic Planning for the Florida Citrus Industry: Addressing Citrus Greening Disease (Huanglongbing). Biographical information on the committee members is presented in Appendix B. Given the urgency of the citrus HLB situation in Florida, the study was placed on a fast-track schedule for completion in early 2010 rather than allowing the usual 18 months or more for completion of a NRC committee report.
The Committee was asked to examine the following:
The current citrus disease situation in Florida and the status of public and private efforts to address citrus greening and other diseases; including lessons learned
The capacity of the industry to mobilize a scientifically-based response to current disease threats and to translate scientific advances into products and services for the protection of Florida citrus industry in the short and long term
The relationship of the industry to public, academic, and private research, and to regulatory and funding organizations at the state and federal level, with respect to controlling citrus greening and developing a comprehensive solution to citrus greening and other diseases.

Finish: Matte / Blackened plum
When I first set out to write my review of Shadowy Lady, it was really awful. I hated this shade when I first started using it. True, it is difficult to blend and can apply splotchy, but there's a trick to it – placement and a light hand. When used to define the crease and line the eyes, this is such an awesome shade and really adds a unique color to your look. When I want to apply it to the crease, I go for a fluffy crease brush like Sigma's E45 or MAC's #286, as they deposit the color in the ideal amount. If you apply too much to the crease with this color, it WILL BE a nightmare to blend away, so less is really more. I do particularly love this color when layered under Vellum (see Look #1) – it creates such a unique look. Shadowy Lady – you're safe. From wanting to swap you away so quickly, I think I'll keep ya.

Current Time
U.S. Virgin Islands hotels
Hotels on St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix tend to complement each island's distinct personality. On St. Thomas, where abundant nonstop flights bring many families, most visitors opt for pricey chain hotels like the Marriott and Ritz-Carlton. There are also a handful of family-run inns and B&Bs—mostly in Charlotte Amalie and Frenchtown—that are more affordable but often lack beach access.
At 84 square miles, St. Croix is the largest of the three U.S. Virgin Islands. It's also the least visited, which is why you're virtually guaranteed to find an affordable hotel (even more so during shoulder season, when rates drop dramatically). Some of the most economical hotels are in Christiansted, convenient to restaurants, shopping, and nightlife. Well-appointed beach resorts are scattered across the island, but are generally less luxurious than their St. Thomas counterparts. Frederiksted—St. Croix's west-end town—is extremely sleepy unless a cruise ship is in port. You might want to consider staying closer to the action in Christiansted.
Eco-types and those longing for lush island isolation should consider staying on St. John, which is largely made up of national park land. Here, most accommodations have a green bent, whether they're Maho Bay's environmentally friendly cottages, beachside campsites at Cinnamon Bay, or the luxurious eco-retreat at Caneel Bay. You'll also find a handful of affordable inns near Cruz Bay. Another option—and a surprisingly affordable one—is renting a villa like those at Gibney's on Hawksnest Beach. Rates vary widely, but a one-week rental in high season starts at around $2,000.

By Lucas, email@example.com
The loneliness of the desert fills your insides with insignificance. We told stories as we rode along, and I realized that Puck's tendency to go off on any subject -for whole chapters at a time- was often just a ploy to take his mind off of the searing heat.
"During the winter, there's very little work," Puck elaborated, "most of the stock are left to shift for themselves. Round up work is a lot of fun, though. Spring round-up is the big event of the season. That's when the new calves are branded. Sometimes the horses get poor and weak from the winter, and we give them grain if they're going to be worked.
That way, they'll be fat and sleek as possible by spring round-up time. We like to ride animals once or twice before we begin work with them. After running free all winter, any pony is about to buck. And a horse that has escaped for a while is as bad as if he'd never been broken. But if the weather's fine, a man will not sleep better than under the open sky after a day's work. But every once in a while we get a windstorm or whirlwind, and we get wet and shivery."
The water in my canteen was still cold, and I drank madly. After lunch, we sat around for a while and Puck began making up songs with his harmonica.
I could hear the sound of a revving engine in the distance and looked towards the horizon. I saw the sun reflecting off of something shiny.
"I wonder what that is?" I asked out loud.
I followed the reflection and the sound grew louder. The object zigzagged like the teeth on a hand saw, swerving around cactus and brush. The driver caught sight of our horses and veered in our direction. He pulled into camp and came to an abrupt halt. The engine revved in neutral then cut off.
A husky man rose from the blue metallic dune buggy. He wore a silk white shirt opened halfway and leather racing gloves, which he removed in order to grab the cigar from his mouth. His eyes were masked behind dark sunglasses -the expensive kind.
"Hola, Senors, Me llamo Paolo...Paolo Calor. Habla Espanol?"
Windy Bob rose to his feet. "Don't worry, I know a little Spanish," he said. "Greetamos senor, Soy Windy Bob and mi amigos, el Bear, Sam, Puck offermos you a warmigo welcomo!"
"Senor," the stranger responded, "you need to work on your English. Greetings I am Paolo."
"How do you do, Paolo, I'm Puck."
"Why thank you, Puck. I am on what you say, a vacation."
"Vacation?" I asked, "In the middle of the desert?"
"Donde estan los servicios? That is, where are the toilets, senors?"
He began to laugh and walked over behind a rock. He shouted to us while he was over there.
"I am in search of the Canyon el Grande? Have you ever been there?"
"The Grand Canyon? It's over there in Arizoni," said Windy Bob, "You're not far off. Jest keep headin' northwest and you'll fall right into it!"
"Ha, ha, ha...I wouldn't want to do that, senor." He emerged from behind the rock.
"Would any of you like a good Habana cigar?"
"No thank you, Paolo," Puck responded.
"Don't mind if I do!" said Windy Bob.
Paolo walked over to the buggy and handed Windy Bob a fresh cigar.
Windy Bob struck a match on the heel of his boot and puffed away heatedly.
"I come from Montezuma, where I left the most beautiful boton de flor, Rosalinda! I tell you my heart is pounding as we speak...but, may I offer you a soft drink?"
Paolo opened the lid of a portable cooler and grabbed a few colas.
"Why thank you, Paolo."
"And now I must ask for a small favor, por favor, senors."
I crossed eyes with Windy Bob. Puck glanced at Laughing Bear.
"Sure, what is it, Paolo?" asked Puck.
"Would someone please help me with these god dammed boots? My pies are killing me."
The husky man sat in the buggy and lifted his legs up high.
I went over and grabbed a boot and pulled. Paolo pushed with his other foot against me-nearly sending me over on my head.
"What did you do, glue them on?"
"No senor," replied Paolo, " I won these in a poker game in Mexico, and I am now sorry that I did not lose to Senor Gomez."
I tugged on the second boot and it came off with a grudge.
"I always wanted a pair of cowboy boots."
"Well, senor Sam, take them, they are yours. I insist."
"I couldn't do that."
"No please, I will be insulted if you refuse."
"Well thank you Paolo."
Paolo turned and glimpsed the landscape.
"What brings you out to the desert my friends?"
"We're helping Windy Bob locate his herd."
"Oh I see. I hope that they are not far."
"A short distance from here," said Laughing Bear.
Puck took a sip from his cola can.
"Soon as we find them we'll be windin' back to Gallup. That's where we're from."
"Gallup? I've heard of Gallup. It's near the western border, am I correct Senor Puck?"
"That's right, If you're headed back from the Grand Canyon, you might look us up."
"Why gracias, Senor. Americanos are muy benevolo."
"Just locate Rural Route number three and take a left at the end of the green fencepost."
"Very well, Puck, I will remember. And now I must continue, so I bid you safe journeys."
"So long, Paolo Calor," said Puck , "and don't forget to stop by."
Paolo turned over the engine of the dune buggy, threw it into gear, and sounded the horn which played a short bar from "La Cucaracha."
I tried on the boots.
In the late afternoon -after several hours of jawing- a Bar M chopper clipped the air in the distance and landed within yards of us. A fellow hopped out. He was dressed in blue jeans and sneakers with a printed tee-shirt that read, "I ate the worm," and wore an expensive looking pair of sunglasses while carrying a citizens band two-way radio.
"I'm Phil," he said. "I'm with Luxor Films and we're out here shooting a film. Did you know you guys are in the frame?" he shouted excitedly.
Phil paced nervously. "We only have a few hours left and we're losing the light!"
"Losing the light?" pondered Laughing Bear.
"No problem," said Puck, "we'll move out of the frame right away. You just show us where that frame is."
"That would be great, but..." Phil pointed his finger, "see that mesa over there? Would you guys mind hiding behind that rock over there for about an hour?"
"Look, I know it's a lot to ask, but I'll make it worth your while. Let's say a hundred dollars a piece?"
The filmmaker reached into his pocket.
"Wait a minute," I said stalling the transaction, "We're rushing against time ourselves -it'll cost two hundred a piece!"
Phil looked at me as if he had just bitten into a lemon.
"Okay, Okay, you got me. I'm desperate!"
He counted out eight crisp one hundred-dollar bills, climbed back into the helicopter, and disappeared into the sky.
We moved behind the rock.
Unfortunately, it wasn't the shady side.
Windy Bob began laughing hysterically.
"Hee-hee-hee...I would have done it for fifty!" he said.
I winked at Puck.
"That's the American Way," then I added, "this wasteland sure is getting' crowded."
"I don't understand the white man," Laughing Bear commented.
Windy Bob chimed in, "You know those Hollywood types," he said, "they're all a little loco in the cabeza," -pointing his finger at his head in a circular motion.
There aren't a lot of things that you can do standing behind a rock, waiting for Hollywood. You can count the cactus, or you can try to reach total enlightenment while meditating, but mostly, you just start itching to move out from behind that rock. People weren't cut out to be rocksitters I suppose. Laughing Bear said that the helicopter man reminded him of the Koyemshi, or sacred clowns. He said they are also known as Mudheads, and he told us a Koyemshi story.
"The Mudheads are dumb," observed Laughing Bear. "They are simple-minded and very stupid doing things. Gray Cloud tried to teach them how to climb a ladder. One Mudhead tried to go up the ladder feet first. Another tried to weave in and out between the rungs of the ladder like a rattlesnake. Another Mudhead kept falling through the rungs. It was a waste of time. Then Gray Cloud tried to teach them how to build an adobe. He showed them how and they tried to imitate what they saw. One built the roof first and made the others hold it up while he made the walls. Another Mudhead put an adobe together without windows or a door. When he finished, he was trapped inside. Gray Cloud kept knocking and asking, "Mudhead, does your adobe have a door?" The others had to break down the walls to let him out. Another Mudhead made bricks out of sand and his house collapsed in a sandpile.
Gray Cloud tried to show them how to sit in a chair. They tried to follow Gray Cloud's example, but one sat on his head, another sat underneath the chair, and the third put the chair on his head. They could not learn how to sit. Gray Cloud was impatient, and said, "I'll try one thing more. I will show you how to please a woman."
There was an old fat woman who hadn't had a man in a very long time. "They can practice on me," she said. She lifted her manta and bent over, and the instructor showed them in the simplest way. The Mudheads paid close attention, and they all wanted to try.
One did it in the anus, another in the knee bend, another in the armpit, another in the navel, another in the ear. They couldn't get it right. "I give up!" cried Gray Cloud. The old fat woman just laughed. The last line hung in the air a split second, and we busted out in a roar. Laughing Bear placed his left fingers on his mouth and extended his right hand -palm turned outwards toward Puck- holding it about a foot from his chest.
Puck responded by holding both hands cupped, palms up, fingers raised and separated from one another at chest level. He raised and lowered his hands.
"What're you doing?" I asked.
Puck looked at me with a smile.
"Laughing Bear told me that he is astonished, and I told him that I think the story is funny."
Puck and Laughing Bear could communicate by hand.
The sun began to set on the western horizon, and we sat beside a stream. The horses were watered. Puck decided we would camp next to the stream for the night and set out near dawn. I was glad to get off my horse. For at the spot where the lower back and buttocks meet, I had begun to develop hard blisters.
After we ate, Laughing Bear drew a pipe from his sack. He filled the pipe with a dried mixture and lit it.
"Here Sam."
He handed the pipe to me, and I imitated him.
I drew a long breath on the pipe and held it in my lungs coughing almost immediately.
"Sorry Laughing Bear, I'm not used to the smoke."
I tried a few more times, and the smoke relaxed me.
The moon ascended in the twilight, and the sky itself was washed in streams of red, orange, and violet. The beauty of a western desert sunset is stunning.
I tried to settle down and closed my eyes. I was content to know that I was in the desert with my friends, far away from any responsibility. We were free...free from the machinations of modern society, free from the judgments and prejudices of superficial people. We were in the wasteland where the soul faces itself, and you are reminded of the eternal serenity and loneliness of the vast universe.
"Do you get lonesome?" asked Bear.
"Sure do. You bet."
We listened to the swelling sound of the insects.
"I am glad that I have Puck," Bear intimated.
"You two have known each other a long time?"
"Since we were small," the Indian answered.
"He's different than the others. He never gets angry."
"Everyone gets angry sometimes, Laughing Bear."
"But, he doesn't let it show," drawing a line in the sand with his finger.
"Yes, Bear?"
"Do you mind if I lay down?"
"No, I go ahead."
The boy stretched out sideways leaning the back of his head on my lap.
I was taken by his trust and desire to be intimate.
I took a deep breath, and stared into Bear's inquisitive eyes.
"You're not afraid to show affection, are you?"
The Indian didn't respond; he just lay quietly listening.
I wanted to reach his heart, to let him know that I had become fond of him. "I think the world would be a whole lot better off if we could learn to grow close to one another."
He stared up into my eyes.
"Sometimes I feel that all of the trouble in the world is caused by this lack of willingness...to be affectionate."
I placed my hand on his forehead and stroked his black hair.
"Men are competitive, and aggressive by nature, or so we are told. They say that the hormone makes us wild. But, it's...well...pride. We're taught to hide our emotions, so we're to proud to let them show. It's considered weak. And weakness is feminine. I don't know when man will learn to drop it. I mean there's no such thing as weakness, really. We're all mortal. We all bleed. We all die. And during the time we're here, we grope in darkness, for some truth, that we never learn. No one knows how we got here, or where we're going. It's all dressed up in stories and fables, and strange histories."
Bear smiled, "And war."
"Yes Bear, I am afraid so. And it's always over power, which usually means money. Those who have the most to lose, fashion the biggest weapons. But what is there to win? Your tribe and the other tribes understood this...that the earth belongs to no man in particular."
I placed my hand over Laughing Bear's heart and felt the soft pounding in my palm.
"This is where it all starts Bear, right here, in the heart. You have to learn how to feel ...for everyone. Never fail to recognize yourself in the other person. I think that's the whole secret. But I have to confess, I get confused sometimes."
"You're a good man, Sam," Laughing Bear whispered.
"I try to think less from the head and more from the heart, but I'll tell you, there's a lot of sickness out there. I see a lot of people in pain. People who let their rage cloud their thinking. I know that they're afraid, and they don't always know what it is their afraid of"
"Maybe they are just searching for the light as they have grown dark," the Indian replied.
I placed my hand on Bear's forehead and stroked his brow.
"I walk into the fear, Bear, and when I walk into it, very often the thing that I was afraid of evaporates, like the snow on a warm day, or the fog after the morning sun rises. It's all an illusion, sometimes, and I try to see through that, see through the illusion of what is, and try to find another truth."
A lonely moan pierced the silence.
"What's that?" I asked.
Laughing Bear tried to calm me, "It's only a coyote."
He paused for a few seconds, then spoke softly.
"The coyote is a bad hunter. He tries very hard but all he ever catches are bugs.
One time, coyote watched the eagle hunting.
The eagle could catch many rabbits -one after the other.
Coyote is always making plans. He said, 'I will join the eagle so I can have enough meat.'
He spoke to the eagle, 'We should hunt together. Two catch more than one.'
The eagle agreed, and they began to hunt together.
During this time the world was full of darkness. There was no sun, no moon.
Coyote was not able to catch anything, so he said, 'Eagle, no wonder I can't catch anything. I can't see. Do you know where we can get some light?' Eagle said, 'I think there is some in the west. Let's try and find it.'"
"Eagle and coyote went searching for the sun and the moon. They came to a pueblo where some Kachinas were dancing. The people asked eagle and coyote to sit down and watch the dances. Coyote saw that the people had two boxes, one large and one small that they opened whenever they wanted light.
Coyote spoke to eagle and said, 'These people have all the light that they need in a big box. Let's steal it.'
Eagle replied, 'You always want to steal. Let's borrow it.'
But coyote replied, 'They won't lend it to us.'
Eagle said, 'You may be right. Let's wait until they finish dancing and then steal it.'"
"When the Kachinas went home, eagle swooped down and grabbed the large box. Coyote followed on the ground as they ran. Coyote yelled, 'Eagle, let me carry the box a little while.'
But eagle said, 'No, no, you never do anything right.'
Eagle flew on and coyote followed with his tongue hanging out.
After a while, coyote shouted again, 'People will call me lazy. Let me carry the box. Let me have it.'
Eagle replied once again, 'No, no, you mess everything up,' and flew on."
Coyote continued to bother eagle until eagle could no longer stand it.
Eagle said, 'You are a pest. Carry the box for a while, but do not open it.'
Coyote now had the box, and eagle flew far ahead.
Coyote lagged behind because the weight of the box made him tired.
When eagle was far ahead, coyote thought, 'I wonder what the light looks like. Maybe I'll take a peek. Maybe there is something else in the box -something that eagle wants to keep for himself.'
Coyote opened the box. Not only was the Sun in the box, but the moon as well. Eagle had put them both together in the box so it would be easier to carry. As soon as coyote opened the lid, the moon escaped, flying high into the sky. All the plants then shriveled up and turned brown. The leaves fell from the trees, and it very quickly became winter.
Coyote ran to catch the moon, so he could put it back in the box. Meanwhile, the sun flew out and rose into the sky. It drifted far away, and all of the fruits and vegetables shriveled with cold.
Eagle had noticed that coyote was far back, so he turned around. 'You fool! Look what you've done!' eagle said. 'You let the sun and moon escape, and now it's cold.'
As eagle spoke, it began to snow. Coyote shivered. 'You're teeth are chattering,' eagle said, 'and it's your fault that cold has come into the world. If it weren't for coyote's mischief making, we could enjoy summer all the time."
I rested against the rock with Laughing Bear's inquisitive eyes staring up at me.
"We Wah was a man of two spirits," said Laughing Bear
"Who's We Wha?" I asked.
"We Wah was a Zuni who grew up around the women. He was not like most men. He did not enjoy the hunt, and he did not enjoy the fight. Instead, We Wah stayed at the hearth helping the Zuni women. The women loved We Wah because he was strong, and could help with the difficult chores. We Wah began dressing like the Zuni women, and he was given a place of honor within the tribe. He was called two spirits because he was blessed with the sensitivity of a woman, and yet he was a man. He was able to settle disputes, and was skilled at producing sand paintings. When the white man came to invade the pueblo, the elder men chose We Wah to go out and bargain. They knew that We Wah was wise, and he was not easily angered. The white man did not know We Wah and assumed that they were talking with the chief."
"You're great storyteller, son, and a beautiful spirit."
He rose, and placed his cheek against my own, then walked over to his bed sack.
I watched the moon hanging above the lonely desert and fell into a deep, meditative slumber.
