"Skin Deep" is the twelfth episode of Season One of ABC's Once Upon a Time. It was written by Jane Espenson and directed by Milan Cheylov. It is the twelfth episode of the series overall, and premiered on February 12, 2012.
After Mr. Gold's house is robbed, Emma keeps a close eye on him when it looks like he wants to track down the criminal and dole out some vigilante justice as payback, and Valentine's Day finds Mary Margaret, Ruby and Ashley having a girls' night out. Meanwhile, in the fairytale land that was, Belle agrees to a fateful deal to give up her freedom in order to save her town from the horrors of the Ogre War.[1]
The episode begins in the castle of Sir Maurice, the town of Avonlea on his lands is under attack in the Ogre War, they have sent for help, but it has not arrived. Suddenly help arrives in the form of Rumplestiltskin who offers them a deal of his protection of the town in exchange for Belle's servitude. Belle agrees to his terms. Gaston, who is engaged to Belle, and Sir Maurice, her father, are against the idea, but the deal has already been made.
In Storybrooke, Mr. Gold repossesses Moe French's van.
Regina insists on speaking with Mr. Gold immediately, but he requests that she "please" delay the conversation. At the cafe, David Nolan and Mary Margaret Blanchard are talking when Emma Swan arrives to ask about Henry. Ashley Boyd arrives, and Ruby asks if they would like to go out for a girls' night. Emma, declining the invitation, suddenly receives a phone call from the station stating Mr. Gold's house has been broken into.
Back in the Enchanted Forest, Belle is thrown into the dungeon of Rumplestiltskin's castle. He lists all of Belle's tasks, and when he jokes about one of the duties (skinning kidnapped children), she accidentally drops a tea cup, which chips. While trying to open his drapes, Belle questions why he spins straw so much as he has so much gold already. She pulls too strongly on the drapes and falls off of the ladder, but Rumplestiltskin catches her. He agrees to leave the drapes open.
In Storybrooke, Mr. Gold arrives home to find his house's front door wide open. As he enters, Emma is already inside investigating. She mentions a neighbor, after noticing the door was open, phoned the station about the issue. She threatens to arrest Mr. Gold if he does not tell her what he knows. He accuses Moe French of robbing his home, and Mr. Gold threatens him. Emma recovers the majority of Mr. Gold's items, but he says that there is still something missing which upsets him, and he goes after Moe himself.
In the Enchanted Forest, Belle asks Rumplestiltskin why he wants her there. She asks him about some clothing she found upstairs, and he tells her of his son. She wants to get to know him, but to keep from giving too much away, he jokes in a fit of self-deprecating humor that perhaps she is trying to find the monster's weaknesses. She tells him he is not a monster. Gaston shows up, and Rumplestiltskin turns him into a rose, which he gives to Belle. He asks her about her choice to come live with him. She tells him she did it to be a hero and be brave. He asks her about Gaston, and she tells him that she never cared for Gaston and that their marriage was arranged. He allows her to go to town to preclude further questioning, and in response to her surprise that he is letting her out of the castle, he responds that he expects to never seen her again. By now, it seems he has fallen in love with Belle.
While out in Storybrooke, Ruby tries to convince Ashley to go get another guy since Sean Herman is always working. David is at the pharmacy getting two Valentine's Day cards when he runs into Mr. Gold who is buying rope and duct tape. Mr. Gold kidnaps Moe and ties him up in the back of his van. At an undisclosed location, Mr. Gold takes Moe out of the van at gun point.
In the Enchanted Forest, Belle is walking down the road where she runs into the Evil Queen. They talk and the Queen asks her if she is running from someone. She also asks Belle if she loves her employer. The Queen tells her that any curse can be broken. She suggests she kiss him and tells her that true love's kiss will break any curse (which may explain what happened when Graham kissed Emma).
Belle returns to the castle, much to Rumplestiltskin's surprise. He is plainly pleased; he has been watching for her from a tower, and when she returns he runs downstairs to his wheel to appear that he has been spinning nonchalantly rather than waiting for her return. She asks him to hold true to his promise and tell her about his son. He asks her why she came back, and she kisses him. The curse begins to fade away. Rumplestiltskin pulls back, shocked and angry. When Belle says that "she" said true love could break any curse, he realizes that the Queen planned this and thinks Belle has been working for her. His anger comes from his own self-loathing: as the curse returns, he shakes Belle and shouts in her face that he knew she could not have been genuine because nobody could ever love a monster like him. He throws her back in the dungeon. Afterwards, he smashes things in a fit of anger and grief and picks up the cup with the chip, preparing to smash it as well, but stops himself and sets it down.
In a cabin in Storybrooke, Mr. Gold threatens Moe's life. He wants to know where the missing object is and who told him to steal it. His anger grows, and he strikes Moe with his cane repeatedly. He says that she is gone forever, that it is his fault, and that he was her father. Emma shows up to stop him from harming Moe any further. At the bar, Ashley is sitting alone, still feeling down, and she tells Mary Margaret that she wants to be with Sean.
She considers breaking up with him, and Mary Margaret understands what she is going through. Just then, Sean shows up and proposes to Ashley, which she accepts, and they kiss. David finds Mary Margaret outside. He gives her a card and tells her that he did not want her finding anyone else. He accidentally gives her the wrong card, and Mary Margaret tells him he should go home. Back at the cabin, Emma questions Mr. Gold and places him under arrest.
In the Enchanted Forest, Belle is sitting in the dungeon when Rumplestiltskin enters and allows her to go free. He tells her he does not want her any more. She tells him that he could have had happiness and calls him a coward. He tells her his power means more to him than she does, which she says is not true and that he will regret his choice. She tells him that all he will have is "an empty heart and a chipped cup", and she leaves broken-hearted.
At the sheriff's station in Storybrooke, Emma talks to Mr. Gold, who is behind bars. She offers him half of her sandwich to repay the favor she owes, but he refuses. He tells her that he does not need a reminder that she owes him a favor. Regina shows up and gives permission for Emma to go with Henry for 30 minutes, to get ice-cream. Emma knows that it is to allow her a private meeting with Mr. Gold, but she wants it too much to refuse. Gold invites Regina to sit, using the word, "please". She wants to talk to Mr. Gold who asks her if she has what he wants, when she says, "Yes." Gold realizes Regina put Moe up to breaking into his house. She says she just wants him to answer one simple question: What is his name? When he replies, "Mr. Gold," she ask him again what his name is elsewhere. He admits to her that his name is Rumplestiltskin and addresses Regina as "Your Majesty" confirming that both are aware of their alternate identities. She returns the chipped tea cup, and he tells her that nothing between them will change.
Back in the Enchanted Forest, the Evil Queen shows up and asks Rumplestiltskin to make a deal with her. She wants to talk about a mermaid. He says that she will never be more powerful than him. He accuses her of having something to do with Belle, but Regina stuns him when she next tells him that she had nothing to with Belle's death. She reveals that because of her time with Rumplestiltskin, Maurice treated her with cruelty when she returned home and locked her in a tower for an "exorcism". She died when she threw herself off the tower. Rumplestiltskin calls her a liar, but she mocks him by telling him that he should get a new girl, because the place is getting dirty. Full of grief, Rumplestiltskin replaces a golden chalice on a pedestal with the chipped tea cup, quietly sobbing afterwards.
Regina is seen going through a codelocked exit door and down into what appears to be the psychiatric ward, in the basement of the hospital. She gives a nurse a rose, and the nurse informs her that no one has come to see "her" that day. Regina walks down the hall and approaches a door. Inside the room is Belle's counterpart locked up in a cell.
Guest Starring
Belle: Honestly, I never really cared much for Gaston. To me love is—love is layered. Love is a mystery to be uncovered. I could never truly give my heart to someone as superficial as he.
Belle: Town? You trust me to come back?
Rumplestiltskin: Oh, no. I expect I'll never see you again.
Evil Queen: True love's kiss will break any curse.
Belle: Now you've made your choice, and you're going to regret it... forever. All you'll have is an empty heart... and a chipped cup.
Mr. Gold: When two people both want something the other has, a deal can always be struck.
Mr. Gold: So, now that we're being honest with each other, let's remember how things used to be, shall we? And don't let these bars fool you, dear; I'm the one with the power around here. I'm gonna be out of here in no time, and nothing between us will change.
Regina: We shall see.
Evil Queen: Are you angry with me? What is it this time?
Rumplestiltskin: Your little deception failed. You'll never be more powerful than me. You can keep trying, dearie, but you're never gonna beat me.

- In the opening scene, the two rivers shown on the map are named "Tigelaar River" and "Kitsis River".[6]

- Belle's dress was originally a wedding dress redesigned in three days' time.[7]
- After Belle says, "He could be on his way right now, papa", Sir Maurice's line was supposed to be, "Our offer must have been too small", which did not make the cut for the episode.[7]
- Moe French's flower delivery service, Game of Thorns, is a reference to the show Game of Thrones, which Jane Espenson also writes for.[4]
- A scythe sitting on a pedestal[8] in Rumplestiltskin's castle is similar to the Slayer Scythe[9] featured in the 1997 television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which Jane Espenson also was a writer for.
- The Charles Murray Residence, a historic building in New Westminster, doubles as Mr. Gold's home. It is a Queen Anne revival style mansion constructed in 1890 for a local designer and artist.[10]
- A severed hand is present on a pedestal in Rumplestiltskin's castle. It is most noticeable when Rumpletiltskin says to Belle, "You will serve me my meals".[11]
- When Mr. Gold is on the phone with Belle in "The Outsider", a severed hand is visible on a pawnshop shelf.[12]
- The teapot on the tray[13] is a Real Old Willow Teapot.[14] It was made by Royal Doulton, a silverware company dating back to 1815, which first started its business in London. The teapot itself was created sometime around the 1980's or 1990's.[15]
- The cups[13] are Royal Albert Val D'or teacups,[16] with added blue paint.
- When creating the chipped cup, the prop department scoured the town for the right-looking retail tea cups, and each took turns breaking one. When they got the perfect break, they cast the actual prop in hard-impact plastic with the break already built into it, and added the blue painted embellishment.[17]
- The cups[13] are Royal Albert Val D'or teacups,[16] with added blue paint.

- While Jane Espenson wrote the episode, Edward Kitsis wrote Belle's iconic line, "All you'll have is an empty heart and a chipped cup."
- When the Evil Queen makes a surprise visit to Rumplestiltskin, he has a tea set laid out on the table, with two cups;[26] as if Rumplestiltskin is waiting for Belle to return.

Mother and Daughter
Isn't this photo by Jaime Lackey amazing? I want a photo taken of Mia and I composed just like this. Actually, it's a good representation of the vision of Joyfolie, which will be shifting a bit over the course of the year. We have always been about little girl's shoes, of course: outfitted and inspired by Mia. However, our woman's items will be growing, as we launch our first line of ladies shoes this fall/holiday. Similarly, I hope to build our accessories to feature items that are intended to be shared by mother and daughter: feminine brooches, textile necklaces, etc. This will be an exciting year for Joyfolie, so I hope you will stay tuned!

Customer Raves & Reviews
Romantic Shore Save the Date Cards I ordered these in the smallest size, which was still a lot smaller than I anticipated. Came out exactly how it looks. Shipping took a while, but that is because I shipped to Alaska. Oddly, the box didn't come with a receipt or anything, just a "book" of suggestions for wedding invitations, etc. Great for our ocean-front wedding in Maine.

"His music makes the basic human need for a link between aesthetics, ethics and spirituality clear and perceivable a need so often subordinated to politics and economics in our society." Thus the words with which Arvo Pärt was awarded the International Bridge Prize of the twin cities Görlitz and Zgorzelec in 2007. His new CD, In Principio, demonstrates the extent to which his more recent music manifests this very link. Twenty-five years ago ECM launched its New Series with Pärts Tabula Rasa. Now its twelfth Pärt album, again produced by Manfred Eicher, presents six compositions of various lengths spanning a period of almost ten years. Four of the pieces appear here for the first time on disc. The meticulous performances were recorded by Estonian ensembles under the baton of Tōnu Kaljuste, a conductor well-versed in Pärts music for many years, and accompanied by the composer every step of the way.
The range is wide: Pärt creates masterly syntheses of the expressive resources he has pursued ever since his personal style emerged in the mid-1970s. The intimate and the monumental co-exist; streams of chords flow towards dramatic eruptions. The inflection of his pieces is always based on their underlying emotive significance. In Principio is a five-movement setting of the opening verses of the Gospel of John: "In the beginning was the Word". The elegiac orchestral piece "La Sindone" conjures up the image of Christ on the Shroud of Turin. "Cecilia, vergine romana", written to celebrate the sacred year 2000 in Rome, is devoted to the martyrdom of the patron saint of music. A serene plea for peace, memories of a deceased friend and contemplation of the peaks and troughs of life: these are the emotional way-stations of the three relatively short pieces here, encapsulating the magic of Pärts music.

Hot shooting spells win for St. Mary
The St. Mary Lady Cardinals trounced the Lady Divers of Lake Preston 59-43 Tuesday, Jan. 7 in Dell Rapids.St. Mary jumped out to an early 18-8 lead and never let up."The key to our win was our ability to shoot the ball," said Josh LeBrun, Lady Cardinals head coach. "We had our highest shooting percentage of the year at 45 percent from the field and 45 percent on three-point shots."Despite the 16-point victory, it wasn't a cakewalk for the Lady Cardinals, who committed 14 turnovers."They were a very quick team that did a great job of using ball screens and dribble penetration," LeBrun said. "They also did a good job with their full court pressure."
Ally Mullaney's 16 points and 13 rebounds paced St. Mary. Anna Wolles added 10 points and eight rebounds for the Lady Cardinals, while Kelly Michel chipped in 13 points. St. Mary's Amber Hansen had five assists."We did a great job of controlling the boards with our rebounding, and creating second chance opportunities for our offense," LeBrun said.The Lady Cardinals take their 5-3 record to Arlington Thursday.

5 a Day Books: Love
To read all about the 5-a-Day book challenge and consider joining in please read here.
I've chosen some of our stories about love for this week's theme. They are all gorgeous and personal favourites for one reason or another.
This is unique in its size, layout, concept and fabulous cut-away pages. Cakie loves the pictures of the food (as usual!) It's a sweet story bout a little mouse who is in love with a giraffe and needs to find a way to reach her to give her a kiss, awwww!
The fabulously well known book was one of the first children's picture books I ever owned, well over 10 years before I had my own girls. Beautiful illustrations and wonderfully simple exploration of the love between a parent and a child.
Another gorgeous book along the same theme as the previous. A big bear and little bear describe the enormity of their feelings by comparing them to the world around them. I'm smitten with the illustrations too.
This is a very sweet American story which likens the various manifestations of love to different scenarios in cookie baking! So sweet and charming with beautiful pictures of families and pets.
Our last choice has almost no text at all, apart from the repetitive word "hug" throughout. It's about a little monkey BoBo in search of his mummy and the sadness he feels until he is reunited. Heartwarming and very relatable for young children.

I like Millsap as a power-3. I think that's his game once he gets his jumper back.
I like Millsap as a power-3. I think that's his game once he gets his jumper back.
I love hearing Harpring complain about Jimmer's lack of minutes despite his great play. I just wish he would apply the exact same logic to Favors and Kanter.
I, HeavenHarris, hereby pledge to my fellow JFC'rs that I will no longer give out neg-reps. All it does is cause negative things, like fights, drama, bitching, ill will, bad feelings, etc.
Love, not hate, is the answer bros and moes.
LOL Lol breaks his pledge 5 days later hahahaha
I must say that Carroll has done better than I thought he would have done.
Aren't you glad we did not draft the Jimmer????
Team is starting to play well after a slow start.
Favors, and Kanter have made some good shots.
...and Corbin makes subs even though the Burks, Carroll, Millsap, Favors, Kanter line-up was playing well. Should have rode them to halftime, knew it was too good to be true.
Woah, the big 3 lineup that got us in the playoffs last year! Corbin is a genius if he thought of going with that now that we're only over halfway through the season.
Lets see if the vets can keep the lead.
Note: Jazz outscored the Kings 20 - 10 thusfar in the 2nd qtr.
Two 3-pt plays for Favs? Nice.
I hope we lock up Carrol as a bench player long term.
Oh look, the starters are blowing the lead that our bench got, just like we all predicted.

Sonny_D Sep 03 '78
Does he get individual credit if you start him as a WR even though the TD came on special teams? Our league is set up to give individual players TD scores plus the TM defense as well. Please advise
thriftyrocker Sep 03 '78
So basically there's no way for an individual player to get credit for a special teams fumble recovery TD? Or did the TD count as a "Defensive TD" for IDP players even though it happened on special teams?
What scoring rule would I have to apply to all players in order to count it? Or is it just a black hole?
FFCSR_Hal Admin Sep 03 '78
The ALL still will not apply to Edelman, as he is not an IDP. ALL would apply to players in that category that are DL, LB, DB and TM -- so, the scoring rule change would not give points to Edelman.
Edelman is not considered an IDP player and for fantasy purposes, we take every play on a case-by-case basis. Edelman will not receive points for the ST TD that he ran in; the Patriots defense will, but Edelman will not according to our default rules. The commissioner can change this and tweak this at his discretion.
ImmaBigDeal Sep 03 '78
So if djack scores a td on a return, is that not a td either? He is on special teams when he scores, just like edelman...or what if edelman was on punt (TM) and the fake it, he scores on the fake - does he not get a td there?
ImmaBigDeal Sep 03 '78
My point is if you start a guy, he scores, no matter the position or situation, he should get that td...there is no logic against that...
FFCSR_Hal Admin Sep 03 '78
Your explanations both have the Eagles starting on offense, so yes, he'd score-Edelman didn't start on offense, so they are different in nature. Sorry we can't accommodate a new rule for this right now, but it's structured this way for a reason. Again, your commish can change scores Tuesday and can email us any time to help -- and we'll work on having a separate category for offensive special team fumble returns next year, we understand where you're coming from.
rangerdave Sep 03 '78
An ALL designation for Defensive TD does give credit to Edelman. Here is Edelman's scoring for a league with that rule: fleaflicker.com
thriftyrocker Sep 06 '78
I actually have a league where it was double counted now (actually 2, but one he was benched).
And in the league scoring settings we have
6 points for every Defensive TD ALL
6 points for every Fumble Return TD QB, RB, WR, TE, K
I'm guessing we should delete the Fumble Return TD scoring to prevent double-scoring. Do you concur?

Midwest Living Review
This quirky restaurant-bar on the north end of Kangaroo Lake in Door County has one of those everybody-knows-your-name atmospheres. Don't let the saloonlike exterior turn you off; friendly service and tasty twists on traditional fare will win you over inside. The bar, with mostly padded stools, runs much of the narrow length. Boards and chicken wire separate wood tables along the outside wall "booths." A few larger tables at one end give a view of the deck and lake. There are probably 30 brews in bottles and about 10 on tap, from Guinness to Fat Tire, but a martini is not an unusual order here. If you like onion rings, check out the "heaping loaf" of thin, delicately french fried strands that practically melt in your mouth. (Warning: They are HIGHLY addictive!) The all-you-can-eat Friday night fish fry isn't the typical perch but a sweet, lightly breaded, deep-fried grouper for $13.95. Other offerings include a tasty grilled portobella with spinach, swiss and rosemary mayo on rye for $8.95 and barbeque baby back ribs for $14.95 a half rack. A reader suggested this local gem to us, and we're glad to spread the word. It's a great find.

I guess it won't match GCC for a long while.
Phoronix: LLVM/Clang 3.2 SVN On Intel Core i7
With LLVM/Clang 3.2 being released next month and the code branching occurring this month, here's some new benchmarks from the latest SVN development snapshot as of this weekend. LLVM/Clang 3.2 SVN benchmarks were compared to the earlier LLVM 3.1 and 3.0 releases for reference.
I guess it won't match GCC for a long while.
Obligatory "Clang is a waste of time, let us all contribute too GCC and linux instead as having more than one option is a bad thing except when we are talking about the 697 linux distros which is not a bad thing because choice is a good thing as long as you are choosing linux... Random job at Microsoft and Apple... something about proprietary... crap crap" post.
Through method transparency, we're acting collectively to benefit the entire population in both utility and education; regardless of social or financial class. Proprietary is imperialistic, Open Source is scientific... it isn't just an alternative, it's the right thing to do. It may be impractical to apply in every situation today, but who knows what the future holds.
Run the latest trunk check against a Linux 3.2 kernel.
I'd be interested in the differences.

Quinnipiac, Minnesota hope to right ship in NCAA
Friday, March 29, 2013
Michigan isn't playing. Neither is Boston University. And a small school from Connecticut, Quinnipiac, is the top seed in this year's NCAA hockey tournament, which gets under way Friday.
"It's not at all like the basketball tournament," Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold said. "It's not like one vs. 64. One vs. 16 is a big difference and I think in the game of hockey, with the way goaltending is, anybody can beat anybody."
Quinnipiac isn't the only team going into the tournament looking to regain some momentum. Minnesota, the top seed in the West, was beaten 2-0 to Colorado College in the WCHA tournament. The Gophers are looking for a second consecutive trip to the Frozen Four and their first national title since 2003.
Defending champion Boston College (22-11-4), another favorite out of Hockey East, has been playing the postseason without coach Jerry York, who is recovering from a detached retina. The Eagles hope to have York back behind the bench as they go for their fourth national title in six years.

This new season opens on the eve of the 15th anniversary dinner celebration for Charlie Trotter's restaurant. More than a celebration, this dinner is the culmination of a long time dream for Trotter, to host acclaimed chef Fredy Girardet in his Chicago restaurant. Considered by his peers to be the "world's greatest living chef" Girardet is an iconoclast and perfectionist who has only cooked outside his Swiss restaurant once prior to cooking at Trotter's. In tribute to Chef Girardet, Trotter assembled a "who's who" of top American chefs. From New York's David Bouley to Napa Valley's Thomas Keller, THE KITCHEN SESSIONS WITH CHARLIE TROTTER captures the camaraderie and conversations of some of the world's most esteemed chefs. Recipe: Scallop and Cockle Salad.
Fish Auction
As the sun just begins to illuminate the pristine waters surrounding the island of Oahu, fishing boats begin arriving at Hawaii's famed Kewalo basin to unload some of the best seafood in the world. On this episode, we take viewers inside the Honolulu Fish Auction to watch as buyers and sellers move hundreds pounds of freshly caught Hawaiian fish to all points around the world. In the kitchen Chef Trotter prepares a Hawaiian snapper. Recipes: Artichoke Puree Soup with Hawaiian Snapper and Saffron Mayonnaise Sauce; Beans Three Ways...Loose Puree, Braised Whole, Emulsion with Sea Bass.
Tomales Bay in West Marin, California remains wild and beautiful, nearly like it must have been a hundred years ago. Here at the Hog Island Oyster farm delectable Kummamoto, Balone, and, Pacific oysters are cultivated in the bay's pristine waters. These are some of Chef Trotter's favorite oysters and one visit to this gorgeous bay explains why. In the kitchen Chef Trotter prepares a rich oyster soup and potato souffle with mussels. Recipes: Potato and Poached Oyster Soup with Bacon Lardons and Crispy Elements; Potato Souffle with Curried Mussel Sauce.
Working to refine cuisine takes enhanced communication between food producers and chefs. When Chef Trotter visited the Chef's Garden farm in Huron, Ohio it wan an opportunity to appreciate the grower's discipline and to taste the results of farmer Lee Jones efforts on site. Recipes: Asian Salad with Tatsoi and Mizuna with Spicy Peanut; Vinaigrette Julienne Vegetable and Lamb; Watercress and Garlic Puree with Monkfish and Braised Kale.
Hawaiian Tuna
The pristine Pacific ocean that surrounds the islands of Hawaii are home to some of the best varieties of tuna. Each morning the tuna fish boats arrive with glistening fresh Yellowtail and Big Eye, some of it destined for Trotter's in Chicago. From Honolulu to Chicago Chef Trotter rejoices in the beauty of Hawaii's fresh catch. Recipes: Grilled Tuna with Spicy Corn Relish and Avocado Puree; SearedTuna with Oxtail, Turnip Confit, Slow Roasted Carrots and Rutabaga with Roasted Garlic Sauce.
An important lesson Chef Trotter instills in his staff is to approach each and every task with confidence and humility. In this episode, he prepares Artichokes Stuffed Three Different Ways with curried duck, cumin rice and eggplant filling. When plating, the fillings are placed at the bottom of each artichoke base and drizzled with herb oil -- a simple and elegant dish. Recipes: Artichoke Turnover with Herb Puree; Artichokes Stuffed Three Ways.
Chef Trotter is always alert and mindful of the details that make Charlie Trotter's a success - no detail is ever overlooked. Once one grasps certain techniques and concentrates on the details, recipes and culinary dishes that seem remote and esoteric suddenly become accessible. In this episode, Chef Trotter highlights the diversity of mushrooms when he prepares Wild Mushroom Ragout and Hot and Sour Mushroom Soup with Tofu and Shrimp Dumplings. Chef Trotter uses porcini, black trumpet, small morels, and hedgehog mushrooms. Prosciutto is torn into small pieces and interwoven with sauteed squash and the wild mushrooms to create an extravagant ragout. Recipes: Hot and Sour Mushroom Soup with Tofu and Shrimp Dumplings; Wild Mushroom Ragout.
The labor-intensive endeavor of cheesemaking takes stamina, passion and diligence. At the beginning of the show, The Kitchen Sessions visits Cowgirl Creamery in Point Reyes to showcase the cheesemaking process. Then he begins to prepare an impressive starter: Wilted Arugula Salad with Rabbit, Figs and Goat Cheese. The salad is composed of tender rabbit, warmed figs and a combination of goat cheese, shallots and cream. All these ingredients are layered over wilted arugula and arugula puree. The versatility of cheese is showcased in Chef Trotter's second recipe - Goat Cheese Cheesecake with Crispy Pepper Tuiles. The goat cheese cheesecake paired with a vinaigrette of olive oil, vinegar, tomatoes, almonds and arugula complement the heat of the pepper tuiles. Recipes: Wilted Arugula Salad with Rabbit, Figs and Goat Cheese Goat Cheese; Cheesecake with Crispy Pepper Tuiles.
Chef Trotter believes that "complacency is the death of creativity." Inspired by other chefs, musicians and artists, Chef Trotter has continued to change and evolve through the years. Chef Trotter showcases the diversity of fresh tomatoes when he prepares two recipes using the sweet, juicy vegetable. His first recipe, Soft Shell Crab with Curried Tomato Sauce and Cumin Vinaigrette, combines the sweetness of crab with the heat of curry. The soft-shell crabs are dressed with curried tomato sauce and a vinaigrette accented with granny smith apples, endive, and toasted pine nuts. The Open Faced Tomato Tart with White Anchovies and Caper Vinaigrette creates an intriguing blend of flavors and provides a beautifully presented dish. Yellow tomato rings and anchovies are arranged in a pinwheel shape on the top of the warm and crusty tart. Recipes: Soft Shell Crab with Curried Tomato Sauce and Cumin Vinaigrette; Open Faced Tomato Tart with White Anchovies and Caper Vinaigrette.
Get a sneak peek as Chef Trotter engages his waitstaff at a pre-service meeting in the dining room at Charlie Trotter's. Chef Trotter instills the importance of supporting one another and working as a team to achieve excellence - both of which have made Charlie Trotter'sa success for the last fifteen years. Simple pleasures such as dessert are highlighted in this episode. The Lemon Verbena Custard with Lace Cookies and Fresh Berries provides a sweet strong lemon dessert without the sourness. This creation is a stack of lace cookies, fresh warm raspberries, blackberries and strawberries and a dollop of delicious lemon custard. The Carrot Cake with Creme Fraiche Frosting and Buttermilk Ice Cream is a decadent dessert that will make any adult swoon. Just one bite of this cake topped with creme fraiche frosting and sitting in carrot and pecan brown butter sauces will make you take another bite. Recipes: Lemon Verbena Custard with Lace Cookies and Fresh Berries; Carrot Cake with Creme Fraiche Frosting and Buttermilk Ice Cream.
Pairing wines with cheeses can produce new flavors that are astonishing and memorable. Eaten together, wine and cheese bring out the best in one another. With the help of Larry Stone, one of the finest Master Sommeliers in the nation, Chef Trotter prepares a cheese and wine course. For his preparation of Crepes with Explorateur Cheese and Red Wine-Dates, Chef Trotter brings together triple-creme soft textured cheese with a thin mild tasting crepe. A decadent almond sauce is placed under the crepe and a mixture of dried fruits including dates, cranberries, cherries and currants cooked with a red wine reduction is spooned on top, creating an astonishing dish. Wine and cheese are also paired in Charlie Trotter'ssecond recipe - Maytag Blue Cheese Tart with Sauterne Jelly and Apricots. Recipes: Crepes with Explorateur Cheese and Red Wine-Dates; Maytag Blue Cheese Tart with Sauterne Jelly and Apricots.
Chef Trotter visits Lee Jones' farm in Huron, Ohio. Lee Jones, one of Chef Trotter's long time colleagues, produces diverse fruits and vegetables that Chef Trotter uses at his restaurant. Fingerling potatoes are one of the specialty products at Lee Jones' farm and were used in two delectable dishes: Twice Baked Fingerling Potatoes with Duck Confit and Brocoflower and Spiced Venison with Prune Studded Potato Wheels and Braised Celery. In the visually stunning preparation of the spiced venison dish, potatoes are cut into pinwheels and studded with cooked dates and placed alongside tender venison that has been seasoned with cinnamon and star anise. Julienne of cooked celery with bay leaf and rosemary accompany the sumptuous dish. Recipes: Twice Baked Fingerling Potatoes with Duck Confit and Brocoflower; Spiced Venison with Prune Studded Potato Wheels and Braised Celery.
In this episode, Chef Trotter prepares two impressive raw dishes that provide palatable fulfillment and pleasure: Fennel Salad with Mustard Vinaigrette, Greens & Marcona Almonds and Raw Cauliflower Soup with Balsamic Red Onions and Wilted Greens. The fennel salad is composed of shaved fennel, Belgian endive, red and yellow teardrop tomatoes, Asian pear and Marcona almonds. The mustard vinaigrette is a perfect compliment to the fresh salad. Recipes: Fennel Salad with Mustard Vinaigrette, Greens & Marcona Almonds; Raw Cauliflower Soup with Balsamic Red Onions and Wilted Greens.
Going The Extra Mile
If there is a system running smoothly, break that system down and improve upon it - in essence "go the extra mile." Chef Trotter's healthy fear of failure and act of spontaneity creates two artistic and ingenious dishes: Langoustines with Green Curry Sauce and Scallions and Asparagus and Zucchini Soup with Crayfish. Chef Trotter gets creative with langoustines as he prepares them with green curry sauce that has an intriguing combination of flavors and scallions. Recipes: Langoustines with Green Curry Sauce and Scallions; Asparagus and Zucchini Soup with Crayfish.
With mushrooms being one of the greatest ingredients in a chef's arsenal and an ingredient that provides endless culinary possibilities, Chef Trotter prepares two exciting dishes. The first, Wild Mushroom Lasagna with Arugula Pesto,begins by layering wild mushroom and rich ricotta filling, arugula leaves, a touch of pecorino cheese and lasagna noodles. The lasagna is then served with an arugula pesto that unites all the intense flavors and causes an explosion in the mouth. Wild mushrooms are also prevalent in Charlie Trotter's second recipe: Veal and Wild Mushroom Pot Pie. Recipes: Wild Mushroom Lasagna with Arugula Pesto; Veal and Wild Mushroom Pot Pie.
Chef Trotter's imagination and inventiveness helps him use ingredients in an unconventional approach. In this episode, shellfish is used in a delectable Seafood Cassoulet with Lobster, Clams, Ham Hock, and Cannelini Beans. The cassoulet combines manila and mahogany clams, a rich bean mixture consisting of carrots, celery and caramelized onion, succulent lobster and andouille sausage. Chef Trotter's variation on the seafood cassoulet is baked in small ramekins until perfect. The cassoulet provides an intriguing blend of flavors with the combination of the spicy sausage and the sweetness of the lobster. Chef Trotter also prepares Steamed Cod with Edame Sauce and Cauliflower Mushrooms. Recipes: Steamed Cod with Edame Sauce and Cauliflower Mushrooms; Seafood Cassoulet with Lobster, Clams, Ham Hock, and Cannelini Beans.
Complacency = Detrimental to Creative Process
Complacency is the ruin of any creative process. Chef Trotter is a firm believer that once something becomes comfortable then it most likely becomes stagnant. Every day provides the opportunity to learn something new and relearn what we think we know. The versatility of poultry and meat is showcased in the two earthy full-flavored dishes - Salt Crusted Heirloom Beets with Roasted ChickenBreast and Mustard Sauce and Root Vegetable Pave with Bison and MeatReduction. His first recipes features red, yellow and candy cane beets that are roasted to perfection and paired with crispy roasted chicken and intense-flavored mustard sauce. In addition, Chef Trotter demonstrates the assembly of a beautiful root vegetable pave that accompanies a tender piece of bison tenderloin. Recipes: Salt Crusted Heirloom Beets with Roasted Chicken Breast and Mustard Sauce; Root Vegetable Pave with Bison and Meat Reduction.
Service can be equated to a game of chess – always stay one step ahead of the game or in this case, the guest. At Charlie Trotter's, the level of service is legendary. In this episode Chef Trotter gives us a taste of his chocolate desserts. Chef Trotter prepares an indulgent Banana Bread Pudding with White Chocolate and Bittersweet Chocolate Marshmallow Ice Cream. A moist banana bread is prepared and combined with cream, eggs, sugar, white chocolate and marshmallow and baked until perfect. The banana bread pudding is topped with caramel sauce, sprinkled with hazelnut praline and served with a scoop of bittersweet chocolate-marshmallow ice cream – a taste of pure heaven. If that is not enough, Chef Trotter prepares a Chocolate Pudding Cake with Coconut Ice Cream. Recipes: Banana Bread Pudding with White Chocolate and Bittersweet Chocolate -Marshmallow Ice Cream Chocolate Pudding Cake with Coconut Ice Cream
During the corn season, from July - October, Chef Trotter visits one of the many beautiful cornfields in Iowa. As a native Midwesterner, this quintessential American food is familiar to Chef Trotter and an inspirational ingredient that he uses in many different recipes. In the Grilled Corn in Husk Soup with Crab and Arugula, grilled corn is pureed and ladled over grilled onions, arugula and a crab mixture consisting of crabmeat, freshly squeezed lime juice and chives. The extravagant soup is drizzled with shellfish oil and sprinkled with cilantro. Recipes: Grilled Corn in Husk Soup with Crab and Arugula; Corn Cake with Bacon & Shrimp.
Poultry is showcased in this episode as Chef Trotter takes two different approaches when preparing a variety of birds. His first recipe features smoked chicken and fennel - Fennel and Smoked Chicken Terrine with Fennel Puree. Fennel's licorice flavor complements this dish and provides a cool and refreshing addition to the terrine. The Roasted Duck with Proscuitto Wrapped Fennel Bulb with Balsamic-Cherry Reduction showcases the succulent simplicity of roasted duck. Recipes: Fennel and Smoked Chicken Terrine with Fennel Puree Roasted Duck with Proscuitto Wrapped Fennel Bulb with Balsamic-Cherry Reduction
Whether peeling artichokes, creating a fine sauce or mopping the kitchen, Chef Trotter and his staff approach all tasks with a sense of purpose. Simple pleasures such as making squash soup are highlighted in this episode. Chef Trotter's Squash Soup with Brown Butter, Lobster and Citrus is a mouthwatering combination of pureed squash, lobster, watercress, Granny Smith apple and juicy orange segments. Brown butter is drizzled over the lobster in the soup and provides a sweet and rich burst of flavor. For his second preparation, Chef Trotter prepares Napa Cabbage Rolls with Ivory Salmon and Braised Cabbage, a healthful combination of salmon and braised and raw cabbage. Recipes: Napa Cabbage Rolls with Ivory Salmon and Braised Cabbage; Squash Soup with Brown Butter, Lobster and Citrus.
Charlie Trotter celebrates the season of Spring as he prepares Chilled Spring Pea Soup with Mussels, Elephant Garlic, Fiddle Head Ferns and Whole Roasted Red Onions and Spring Legume Salad with Quail Eggs, Smithfield Ham and Hazelnut Vinaigrette. Pureed fresh snap peas are like a mouthful of Spring when paired with fresh mussels, fiddle head ferns and whole roasted red onions. The spring pea soup is dolloped with creme fraiche and drizzled with intense flavored tarragon oil. Recipes: Chilled Spring Pea Soup with Mussels, Elephant Garlic, FiddleHead Ferns and Whole Roasted Red Onions; Spring Legume Salad with Quail Eggs, Smithfield Ham and Hazelnut Vinaigrette.
Olive Oil
Olive oil's healthful qualities coupled with its versatility in cooking have made it a staple in every chef's kitchen. Chef Trotter visits Long Meadow Ranch in St. Helena, California where Prato Lungo, a silky smooth, peppery, green grass flavored olive oil is produced. The product is compared to the wonderful olive oils that are produced in Greece, Italy and Spain. Chef Trotter highlights the diversity of olive oil through two recipes in this episode: Olive Oil Poached Salmon with Basmati Rice Cake and Leek Confit Soup and Lamb with Olive Oil Poached Artichokes and Red Wine-Kalamata Olive Sauce. The salmon is poached in olive oil and cooked slowly resulting in a tender piece of fish. In the beautiful presentation of this dish, the crispy rice cake is placed in a shallow bowl, topped with a rich piece of salmon and julienned leeks and finished off with a ladle of rosemary and thyme infused leek soup. Recipes: Olive Oil Poached Salmon with Basmati Rice Cake and Leek Confit Soup; Lamb with Olive Oil Poached Artichokes and Red Wine-Kalamata Olive Sauce.
Saffron, one of the world's most precious and expensive spices, is a valuable component in a chef's cuisine because of its strong, different flavor and aroma. In the kitchen, Chef Trotter prepares two recipes with saffron: Paella Stuffed Tomato with Saffron Vinaigrette and Curried Beef Short Ribs with Braised Parsnips, Carrots, Rutabaga and Potatoes. The curried beef short ribs are loaded with different flavors - sweet coconut milk, spicy Thai chiles and strong flavored root vegetables including parsnips and rutabaga. It is a mouthwatering dish with many ingredients, yet still simple to put together. Recipes: Paella Stuffed Tomato with Saffron Vinaigrette; Curried Beef Short Ribs with Braised Parsnips, Carrots, Rutabaga and Potatoes.
During this episode, Chef Trotter visits with Master Sommelier Larry Stone where Stone shares his knowledge and gives tips on selecting the correct wine to complement the type of food being served. Also Chef Trotter prepares two spectacular recipes both containing bountiful red wine: Garlic Confit Ravioli with Red Wine-Olive Sauce and Halibut with Red Wine Corn Sauce and Yellow Corn Grits. Chef Trotter demonstrates making fresh ravioli and a filling of morel mushrooms and kalamata olives. When plating, hearty ragout containing asparagus and fava beans and red wine-olive and basil sauce are spooned over the warm ravioli. Recipes: Garlic Confit Ravioli with Red Wine-Olive Sauce; Halibut withRed Wine Corn Sauce and Yellow Corn Grits.
Charlie Trotter's at 15
Chef Norman Van Aken, a guest chef in Kitchen Sessions, was honored to join Chef Trotter in this final episode. The flavors and style of the Sopa de Mariscos is a tribute to Norman's style of cooking which includes a variation of Latin and Caribbean flavors. In the Sopa de Mariscos, Chef Trotter brings together the savory flavors of bacon, celery, carrot, onion and blue crabs. Once these ingredients blend together, cream, yucca, white cabbage and fresh fish fillets are added creating an indulgent seafood soup. Recipe: Sopa de Mariscos.

On November 26, 2013, for the first time, nine finalists in the Ensemble Studio Competition will now perform from the mainstage of the Four Seasons Centre, accompanied by the internationally acclaimed COC Orchestra conducted by COC Music Director Johannes Debus and hosted by Grammy-nominated and multi-Juno Award winner, singer-songwriter and composer Rufus Wainwright. To watch the competition and see Canada's rising opera stars, visit our Centre Stage website and buy your tickets today! Over the next two weeks, follow along on Parlando as we introduce you to each of our finalists.
For the Winnipeg-based soprano, opera is a family affair.
Lara's father is responsible for introducing her to opera. "I was drawn to opera because of the quality time I spent with my father, starting when I was very young, listening to the Saturday afternoon radio broadcasts from the Metropolitan Opera," she says. "My dad played the music so regularly in our house and I found myself drawn to the drama and acoustic aesthetic of this art form."
Since falling in love with opera as a child, Lara has gone on to study vocal performance at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston and completed a master's degree at The Juilliard School in New York.
Lara's credits include Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni (The Banff Centre); the American premiere of Alessandro Rossi's Ritual (The New Juilliard Ensemble); Giulia in La Scala di Seta (Juilliard); and Suor Genovieffa in Suor Angelica (Manhattan Opera Studio). She will also appear as Zerbinetta in Ariadne auf Naxos with Manhattan Opera Studio. But her dream role? She would love to play Violetta in Verdi's La Traviata and the title character in Alban Berg's Lulu.

Soprano Karine Boucher, today's featured finalist, recently graduated from the Atelier lyrique, l'Opéra de Montréal and was the youngest artist ever accepted into this training program! In 2011, she was also a regional finalist in the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions.
Karine comes from Québec City, and holds both a bachelor's and a master's degree from the Québec Conservatory. She began singing classical vocal music at the age of 11, but almost by accident. Her vocal teacher suggested that she try some classic songs, and Karine says, "I had no idea what I was doing when I said yes! Imagine, I was born in a family that almost didn't know that opera existed... So it was for me and my family a wonderful and sometimes indescribable discovery."
What Karine loves most about opera is "one moment in particular, the two seconds before the curtains open or the two seconds before I first put my feet on the stage," she shares. She can't imagine doing anything else with her life.
Karine's past roles include Annina in La Traviata, Inez in Il Trovatore and Rosette in Manon (Opéra de Montréal); Miss Pinkerton in The Old Maid and the Thief and Micaëla in Carmen (Atelier lyrique); and Kätchen in Matrimonia Segreto (Québec Conservatory). She can't pick just one dream role, specifying Verdi and Puccini as two composers that she especially loves. But she says that these roles require maturity. "So I have to be patient," she adds.
In her spare time, Karine enjoys walking, aqua-jogging and improvisational theatre. Her first language is French and she also speaks English and Italian. Visit her website, like her on Facebook or follow her on Twitter to find out more!

Nathan was born and raised in Charlottetown, P.E.I., completed his bachelor of music at the University of Prince Edward Island and still finds it hard to pry himself away. But he's managed to do so long enough to attend the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, where he completed a master's degree in Vocal Performance in 2012.
Before moving to Boston, Nathan says that his opera career "was not the original plan." An accomplished theatre actor, Nathan portrayed Royal Gardner in Anne & Gilbert (Harbourfront Theatre) for three consecutive summers, and also played Edwin Simpson in Nine Lives, a musical about the life of L.M. Montgomery, for the Charlottetown Festival.
It was theatre that gave him a taste for performance, but opera that captured his imagination. "As my training continued at UPEI through the years, my amazing teachers, Stephen and Sung Ha Shin Bouey, introduced me into the world of opera, and with the help of YouTube I was soon a huge fanatic," Nathan says. "What really draws me to opera is the culmination of such a focused singing technique while having the most dramatic of intentions and, on top of that, keeping up with the rich orchestral music underneath you."

Ravens stand in Patriots' way again
Sunday, January 20, 2013
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — You again!
At the forefront in this rematch, naturally, is Brady, who has won three NFL titles and would be only the second player to reach six Super Bowls by leading New England (13-4) past Baltimore (12-6). And there's Lewis, the most dominant inside linebacker the league has seen since the heyday of Mike Singletary.
But what the Ravens need Sunday is discipline to go with the fervor. Otherwise, Brady will pick them apart.
The leaders of those teams, Brady and Lewis, aren't exactly one-man bands. Indeed, Brady seems to make everyone into a star -- witness third-string running back Shane Vereen's three touchdowns against Houston -- and Lewis isn't the best Raven on defense right now, end Paul Kruger is.
No matter who finds his way into the spotlight, though, he won't shove aside Lewis or Brady.

I know SNA stands for Sandy Bridge Architecture.
But could it be used with Radeon and Nouveau too?
Phoronix: Ubuntu 12.10 Looks To Use Intel SNA Acceleration
Ubuntu developers are looking at enabling support for Intel SNA acceleration within the open-source graphics driver for the Ubuntu 12.10 release...
I know SNA stands for Sandy Bridge Architecture.
But could it be used with Radeon and Nouveau too?
Typo, just not -> not just
SNA is not some magical invention of Intel, it's just bringing to the Intel driver the EXACT same way of doing 2D acceleration that radeon (at least r600 and newer, r300 still uses the dedicated 2D hardware) and noveau use.
I was referring to the fact that SNA uses the 3D engine for the 2D acceleration instead of the dedicated 2D engine. From what I know this was the big difference between SNA and UXA. You say there are other features of it that would make sense for the rest of the drivers?
One of the areas where I'm looking for further development for SNA is to extend the Render protocol to improve the offload of the immediate mode path rendering (i.e. Cairo and other users of Render), along with any future directions toward retained paths. nvidia have expressed a similar interest since they already have a path offload engine inside their libGL (NV_path extension) and would like to utilise that from their 2D drivers as well. That would be beneficial to EXA if they also extended their interfaces to handle paths, which is likely to have knock-on effects with them finally implementing some form of trapezoidal acceleration...
I just saw this article and enabled xorg-edgers in precise to have a look, but it doesn't look like SNA was enabled.
OTOH that changelog message seems to have been reused unchanged since at least May, so I guess I'll have to try it and see if SNA is mentioned in the startup logs: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+...filter=quantalxserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.19.0+git20120613.0db789e1-0ubuntu0sarvatt~precise) precise; urgency=low
* Checkout from git 20120613 (master branch) up to commit
* Only added debian/ tree from origin/ubuntu
* hook: Drop 101_copy-fb.patch (testing)
* Note: SNA is now disabled due to long-standing incompatibilities
with unity.
* hooks: build-dep on libxcb-util0-dev | libxcb-aux0-dev to ease
-- Robert Hooker <[email protected]> Wed, 13 Jun 2012 11:29:52 -0400
Now (with a newer xorg-edgers) I can enable it:
Code:cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-sna.conf Section "Device" # Identifier not significant Identifier "Integrated intel graphics" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "SNA" EndSection

The CodeMirror editor is designed to make it easy to enter HTML code in an article or description. CodeMirror supports syntax highlighting and auto-completion, as shown in this screenshot.
CodeMirror offers some of the same advantages of using No Editor, but makes it somewhat easier to work with raw HTML code.
If 'No editor' is selected for a User, then a simple text editor displays. This allows you to enter in raw, unformatted HTML. You can use the toolbar 'Preview' button to preview how the HTML will display.
Note that the 'No Editor' option can be useful if you are entering in 'boilerplate' or custom HTML, for example to create a PayPal link. TinyMCE automatically re-formats and strips some HTML when a file is saved. This can cause complex HTML to not work correctly.
If this happens, you can temporarily change the editor to 'No Editor' and create the desired content. Note that if you wish to edit this content in the future, you should be careful to change your editor to 'No Editor'. Otherwise, if you open and save the content with TinyMCE, you may lose your custom HTML.

The food-grade plastic drum, repurposed with thorough cleaning and UV polish, features three outlets for hose connection and a nylon spigot. Free shipping.
$125 and up, from Rain Barrels and More.
The Madison

The Compost Wizard Hybrid features a 7-cubic-foot tumbler compost bin atop a 47-gallon rain barrel. Excess liquid seeps from the bin to mix with collected rainwater for a no-fuss compost tea. The hybrid's stacked design also ensures effective use of valuable garden space.
$300, from Good Ideas.
The Agua
The 50-gallon Agua is made from 3/8-inch-thick molded plastic styled to resemble an Ali Baba-style terra-cotta urn. It is guaranteed never to crack, fade, or chip, and boasts the clever addition of a planter. It comes with a 4-foot garden hose with shut-off nozzle and hose hook.
$150, from Algreen Products.
Pop-Up Rain Barrel
This collapsible rain barrel collects gallons of water in a portable, puncture-resistant tub.

Don't these cast-a-ways wish they were kicked back and having Margaritas on some island paradise. Well, they are on an island paradise, but in the jungle the mighty jungle the lightining strikes each night. However, if you ask the evicted Foa Foa cast-a-ways they might say it was Devils Island. Devils Island was a penal colony on an island off the coast French Guinea in the Carribean.
Meanwhile on the current penal colony of Samoa Island, starvation, disease, accidents, dehydration, some possible overwork but I don't believe execution, wait a minute, we do have evictions, heh heh heh.
This penal colony was first established during by CBS under the Jeff Probst Era, who needed an out-of-the-way place to tuck away suckers crazy enough to want to find a million dollar treasures. He also saw the penal colony as a means to torture these cast-aways for 39 gruling days.He required the cast-a-ways to live in the unbearable conditions and compete with each other doing weird and strange things called challenges to determine the weak and absurdly strange habits that would frustrate and humiliate all who were foolish enough to apply and be accepted for a period of time wihich could be a short prison term. If evicted before 39 days they must remain on the island until all such harsh treatment was dealt out back in the prison. Foa Foa and Galu were the barrack names where these people were housed. Barracks chiefs were elected to rule their house of pain.
The electedcast-a-ways that were sent to Samoa Island suffered appalling conditions, many of which were worked as slave labor on the game show beach front, where they suffered under the overpowering, merciless tropical sun and from the ever-present harassment of such creatures as Devish demons. Those who failed to keep up with their work quota, winning challenges or felling trees to build shelters, had their already meager rations cut still further.
Even though the solitary confinement of excile island had been abolished from the punishment list, some members of one tribe were sent to invade the other tribe and find an artifact of redemption.
It's been said that those who survive violent competition are subject to becoming a ghost and will reside in a limbo state until a live television show determines who wins the gold. If that is so, there might well be thousands of viewers haunting the living rooms of homes around the world to watch the once imprisoned cast-a-ways still who were unable to find their elusive final goal of being "The Ultimate Survivor" and for the rest of their life toil in misery.
