Nothing to lose, everything to gain
Hi and welcome to my profile! I was born and raised in Toronto and moved to New York about two years ago, after a 3-year academic stint in Philadelphia. I am looking to meet someone who is open-minded, honest, kind, intelligent, and has a healthy sense of humor, to share new and fun experiences with. I am most passionate about the quality time that I spend with loved ones, family, and friends. Those who know me best would describe me as being a good listener, easy-going, hardworking, and humorous. I have also been told that I look much younger than I really am. My best life skills include, using humor to make people laugh, keeping physically fit, and being a good friend and companion. If there's anything in particular you would like to know more about me, just ask : ).
Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Religion/Spiritual , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Dancing, Martial arts, Other types of exercise, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Dogs
Currently I do not have any pets, but would like to own a dog one day. If you already have one, that would be great!
Singapore, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Lima, Peru, and recently, Busan, South Korea. I would definitely like to do more traveling in the near future. Any suggestions?
Favorite things include peanut butter, red wine (especially French), tapas restaurants, live jazz performances, bachata music (and dancing, of course), and Sunday brunches.
I try to stay physically fit by doing martial arts training about 5-6 times a week. I also enjoy going for walks on the High Line, photography, latin dancing, and karaoke.
The last book I read was "The art of learning" written by Josh Waitzkin, who was portrayed in the book and movie: "Searching for Bobby Fischer". He discusses his success as a child chess prodigy and later as a martial artist.

text: The Pang wiki last edited by Mento on 02/24/15 06:30AM View full history OverviewPang, or Buster Bros./Pomping World, is a puzzle-action Arcade game where players are tasked with destroying balls or balloons that are terrorizing famous landmarks. The balls have a predictable path as they hop across the stage, but each will burst into smaller and harder to hit balls and in greater numbers will quickly overwhelm players.The player has a single harpoon gun that fires straight up and will damage a ball that touches any part of the chain. However, the player cannot fire again until the harpoon has hit the ceiling or one of the balls, which can put them at a disadvantage if they misfire. The player can earn power-ups that increase the number of simultaneous harpoons or allow them to stick to the ceiling for a few seconds.Pang was originally released as an Arcade game by Capcom. It was later ported to a vast number of computers and consoles. The majority of the US versions were renamed Buster Bros., including the Arcade game. It saw a few sequels as well, like Super Pang (the first sequel) and Buster Buddies (the second sequel, also known as Pang 3!). Both Pang and its sequels appeared in a few Capcom compilation releases too, such as Capcom Puzzle World for PSP.StagesThe stages appear in the following order:Mt. FujiMt.

In this code snippet, the Init() function acts as a on-demand initializer that fills in all member variables of the structure. This is done to avoid calling default constructors all members of a large array on the stack:
struct Foo {
int m_Member;
void Init(int i);
void Foo::Init(int i) {
m_Member = i;
// Many other members initialized here.
void SomeFunction(int n) {
Foo buffer[64];
assert(n <= 64);
// Explicitly initialize what is needed.
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
buffer[i].Init(i * 3);
// Use buffer[0] - buffer[n-1] somehow.
This triggers a static analysis error in VS2012 with /analyze:
warning C6001: Using uninitialized memory 'buffer'.: Lines: 17, 19, 20
I'm looking for a way to annotate Foo::Init() so that this warning doesn't occur. There are plenty of other ways to make the warning go away, including:
- Adding an empty constructor
- Moving Init() to the constructor and calling placement new in the loop
But I'd like to avoid changing the structure of the code.
I've tried the following annotation without success:
void _At_(this, _Out_) Init();
This syntax is accepted, but only changes the warning to be:
warning C6001: Using uninitialized memory 'buffer'.: Lines: 18, 20, 21
warning C6001: Using uninitialized memory 'buffer[BYTE:0]'.: Lines: 18, 20, 21
Does anyone know how I can declare the intent of this Init() function to the static analysis engine?

Latest ailment for Detroit's Helm: groin injury
Sep 9, 2013, 9:52 PM EDT
Injury-riddled Detroit Red Wings forward Darren Helm faces a (sort of) good news/bad news situation regarding his banged-up body.
On the bright side, the Detroit Free Press' Helene St. James reports that the back issues that limited to one game in 2013 seem mostly cleared up. Unfortunately, the latest ailment is a groin injury, which an MRI revealed to be just a small strain.
Having these issues pile up understandably frustrates the hard-working center.
"It is almost kind of comical the way these things keep happening," Helm said on Monday. "I came off, I wasn't too happy. But it wasn't my back, so I'm not too upset about it. I don't think this is going to be too long."
Helm suffered his latest injury while skating on Friday, according to St. James.
The Free Press report indicates that it might be safe to expect Helm to be doubtful for the Red Wings' first preseason games, considering the unpredictable way groin injuries can linger.
- polegojim - Sep 9, 2013 at 11:28 PM
I like Helm and he's an incredible talent… but ONLY when he can actually PLAY hockey during games that count.
Sorry Helmer… feeling like time for the Red Wings to move on.
How could his body be 'banged up'… after one game played… LAST season?
Seriously… if a player can't stay healthy when NOT playing hockey and only skating… what happens when he's actually getting hit and battling for pucks???
Wings need a consistent 'FULL' roster day 1… and have waited long enough in this situation.
- hockinj25 - Sep 9, 2013 at 11:43 PM
Thumbs down, thumbs down, thumbs down, thumbs down…. you get the picture. The Red Wings should never get rid of Helm. He had a bad back problem and now a minor groin injury. He doesn't have a long history of bad injuries so just give him some time to be 100%.
- polegojim - Sep 10, 2013 at 9:39 AM
Yeah Yeah Yeah… We'd all like to believe that… sounds warm and fuzzy… but not realistic.
They've given him most of 3 years? And he's still not 100% while NOT playing hockey.
If it's so minor… why is he already slated to miss the first week of the season… with the team already preparing us that it could be longer?
We'll see… maybe I eat my words… but not feeling it… too many continuing ???????
We've already got ??? with Weiss and his health – it's time to turn question marks into periods.
- 19to77 - Sep 10, 2013 at 1:22 PM
He played all 82 games in 2010-11 and 68 in 2011-12. Yeah, he suffered a major derailment last year, but your worries about him still boil down to fun with small sample sizes.

CertSrvBackupOpenFile function
The CertSrvBackupOpenFile function opens a file for backup.
HRESULT CertSrvBackupOpenFile(
_In_ HCSBC hbc,
_In_ const WCHAR *pwszAttachmentName,
_In_ DWORD cbReadHintSize,
_Out_ LARGE_INTEGER *pliFileSize
- hbc [in]
A handle to a Certificate Services backup context.
- pwszAttachmentName [in]
File name to open for backup purposes. This file name would be parsed from a list produced by means of CertSrvBackupGetBackupLogs or CertSrvBackupGetDatabaseNames. Note that the names returned by CertSrvBackupGetBackupLogs and CertSrvBackupGetDatabaseNames must have the single-WCHAR CSBFT_* prefix stripped before CertSrvBackupOpenFile is called.
- cbReadHintSize [in]
Number of bytes used as a hint when the file is read by CertSrvBackupRead. The cbReadHintSize parameter passed to the first CertSrvBackupOpenFile call for the backup context is used to size the read buffer. Pass zero for this parameter, and the buffer will be sized at a reasonably efficient size chosen by CertSrvBackupOpenFile. If insufficient memory is available, the buffer size will be reduced until memory allocation succeeds or until the buffer size reaches its minimum possible value. Pass a nonzero size to cause CertSrvBackupOpenFile to size the buffer to a power of two near the value of cbReadHintSize. The implementation will choose only powers of two between 64 KB and 4 MB.
- pliFileSize [out]
A pointer to a LARGE_INTEGER value that represents the number of bytes in the file.
Return value
If the function succeeds, the function returns S_OK.
If the function fails, it returns an HRESULT value that indicates the error. For a list of common error codes, see Common HRESULT Values.
Use this function to open a file for backup purposes. When you have finished using the file, close the file by calling the CertSrvBackupClose function.
The name of this function in Certadm.dll is CertSrvBackupOpenFileW. You must use this form of the name when calling GetProcAddress. Also, this function is defined as type FNCERTSRVBACKUPOPENFILEW in Certbcli.h.
FNCERTSRVBACKUPOPENFILEW* pfnOpenFile; char * szBackupOpenFunc = "CertSrvBackupOpenFileW"; LARGE_INTEGER liFileSize; HRESULT hr=0; // Get the address for the desired function. // hInst was set by calling LoadLibrary for Certadm.dll. pfnOpenFile = (FNCERTSRVBACKUPOPENFILEW*)GetProcAddress(hInst, szBackupOpenFunc); if ( NULL == pfnOpenFile ) { printf("Failed GetProcAddress - %s, error=%d\n", szBackupOpenFunc, GetLastError() ); exit(1); // or other appropriate error action } // Open the file. // hCSBC was set by an earlier call to CertSrvBackupPrepare. // pwszFile specifies the name of a file. // This name could have resulted from parsing the // output from CertSrvBackupGetDatabaseNames, and so on. hr = pfnOpenFile(hCSBC, pwszFile, 0, &liFileSize); if (FAILED(hr)) { printf("Failed pfnOpenFile call [%x] %ws\n", hr, pwszFile); exit(1); // Or other appropriate error action. } // Use the opened file as needed. // When you have finished using the file, call CertSrvBackupClose. // ...

Guests can ski bike, soak in hot springs, horseback ride

Never far from its ranching roots, Steamboat remains firmly linked to a Western tradition that sets it apart from every other ski resort in the world. Photo/Larry Pierce

As ski season approaches, many of us nonskiers are filled with apprehension. Family vacations at ski resorts mean coming up with myriad excuses why we can't or won't ski, and then finding alternative activities to keep ourselves busy until our red-cheeked, exhilarated family members return from a day on the slopes. There's the envy of watching others effortlessly glide down the mountain and the frustration of knowing that ability, fear or injury prevents us from experiencing the great wintry outdoors in the same way.
When I found myself in Steamboat Springs, Colo., in late November, my mission was to explore ski alternatives in this character-filled town of 12,000. Fed up with suggestions of shopping, dining and spa treatments, I wanted a go at experiencing the mountain. I just didn't want to have to do it with skis strapped to my feet.
Ski biking seemed a novel way to try the slopes, especially since I'm an enthusiastic road biker. The Steamboat Ski Resort has been offering ski biking lessons for the past three years, but the sport still is a relative newcomer that causes skiers and snowboarders to stop in their tracks and remark on how much fun it looks.
"Truth is, it's a lot like skiing," said instructor Josh Berkowitz as he strapped an apparatus that looked like a shortened version of skis to my feet. "In both you use your body and gravity to determine where you want to go and the speed at which you want to travel."
I hopped on my ski bike cautiously at first, noting that the only similarities to a regular bike were the saddle and the handlebars. Brakes? None to be found. The good news is that you don't need a sense of balance on a ski bike, because both feet are firmly planted on the ground. All you have to do is turn your head sharply in the direction you want to travel, moving in a series of graceful S-curves to traverse a slope at your preferred pace. To stop, you simply increase the angle of your S-curve and the bike comes to a standstill.
It's an easy skill to master, and within an hour, I'd learned to steer and stop the bike, the prerequisites for tackling a hill larger than the bunny slope. In no time at all, I was ready for a green diamond run, comfortable in the knowledge that I had a heavy metal bike to hold onto for extra balance.
Being on the mountain was exhilarating, though the traffic from skiers and snowboarders was initially daunting. I'd just begin to relax into a graceful arch when a great whooshing sound would remind me there were others traveling at breakneck speeds all around me.
For a more peaceful experience, I stripped the heavy layers of snow apparel from my body and headed to Strawberry Park Hot Springs for a deep soak in one of Steamboat's many active mineral springs. Located seven miles out of town on a rough dirt road, Strawberry Park's waters bubble to the surface at temperatures of 153 degrees, cooling slightly as they splash into a series of pools nestled into the hillside. There's no trace of chlorine and no noise but birds singing and the splash of cascading water.
It was hot springs such as this one that gave Steamboat its name back in 1874, when pioneers ventured this way and noticed a geyser expelling water up to 14 feet in the air. The gushing water created a chugging sound that reminded them of a steamboat - hence the name Steamboat Springs.
Sadly, within 35 years of their arrival there was no more chugging. Explosives used to blast for a new railroad irreparably damaged the geyser.
Back at Strawberry Park, a long soak in the mineral pools is pure decadence. From any one of the rock pools you get a view of the springs themselves, water bubbling from the recesses at temperatures well beyond the boiling point. You emerge from the steam ready for a deep siesta.
A day later I was dreaming of those springs after a 90-minute horseback ride into the aspen forests surrounding Del's Triangle 3 Ranch in Clark, Colo. We'd driven 45 minutes from Steamboat to this small town dotted with ranches to experience the slopes on horseback. As the horses ascended a hill, the silence of the Colorado countryside enveloped us, the cold, crisp air numbing our fingers. The scenery was exquisite: large, open meadows; trees whose boughs were heavy with snow; and only the flash of a magpie's wings to remind us this was no postcard.
With us was bonafide cowboy Ray Heid, 74, a one-time Olympian and owner of the ranch. Sporting his signature duster jacket, which he made himself from the hide of six elk and a beaver ("all of them road kill," he says proudly), Heid's memory is razor sharp and his anecdotes take us way back in time.
"In the days before the mountain was open for skiing, all we had in town was Howelson Hill," he recalls. "In the 1940s, a busload of visitors traveled 40 miles to Steamboat for a day of skiing. I remember thinking that if we could make that happen once a week, we might be able to make a living off the ski business."
Heid's cousin, Bud Werner, was one of America's most promising skiers until his death at 28 in a Swiss avalanche. To honor him, the name of the mountain was changed from Storm Mountain to Mount Werner. Other tributes to Buddy are all over town: on street signs, a statue and even the Bud Werner Memorial Library.
It's this sense of community that distinguishes Steamboat from other Colorado ski resorts. It is a family-oriented area that just happens to have an amazing mountain.

A place for news and commentary about Milwaukee neighborhoods, government and urban life
About that tall grass around the city
The City of Milwaukee has launched a full-scale attack on tall grass in vacant lots, vacant homes and other properties.
But those aren't the only places where grass has become a problem, and an eyesore.
Preston Cole, director of operations for the city's Department of Public Works, says the city also is getting complaints about tall grass along highways, medians and intersections.
While city crews and contractors have their hands full cutting grass after a wet spring and early summer, unmowed grass on many state highways and freeways is the responsibility of the state Department of Transportation.
David Vieth, the DOT's director of the Bureau of Highway Maintenance, conceded there were some areas that needed a good mowing. He mentioned the access roads leading to I-94 near S. 68th and S. 70th Sts. Also N. 76th St., which is a state highway, had high grass north of W. Silver Spring Dr.
Vieth said his office does get complaints in areas with a lot of pedestrian traffic or urban areas where the median is not mowed.
The DOT has contracts with county highway departments to mow grass. He said crews are doing what they can to get the grass cut to a reasonable height.
Last year, nobody complained about tall grass because of the drought. This year, it's a different story.
"Our attention is focused on areas affected by safety and mobility," Vieth said. "It has been more of a challenge this year."

Everyone is someone else's weirdo." - Dilbert
I am pretty good at writing but who are we kidding, actions do speak louder. However, I will try to sum up (as briefly as I can) things about me and what I like. I am a rather impulsive guy and I prefer spontaneity, which has sometimes got me in trouble and most of the times I have had more fun than ever! I love simple things and little gestures because it shows the other person really knows you and cares about you and vice versa. I love both being cozy indoors and popping in a movie or having a game night to going rock climbing or cross country road trip. I love life! Yes, there are moments when you feel like nothing matters but all you need to do is remind yourself that you matter to someone and they love you unconditionally with all your flaws and failures. I usually go for people who are polite, considerate and kind towards others. A hot body and a cute face are attractive but if the attitude screams nothing but cockiness and a total douchebag then it is unequivocally a deal breaker! I am always up for trying and learning new things even if they might not appeal to me but you won't know until you try it! I am a total believer in selflessly doing things for other and Karma. You don't have to spend big time, all you need first, is a realization that you have it so much better than millions of other people in the world. I am indeed looking for a relationship but not on a first date (which I am not saying is not possible but most unlikely). I totally love all that sexual tensions, not knowing what to say, and those flirtations and the whole shebang. However, when it comes to being in a relationship, I think you need more than sexual compatibility. It sounds mawkishly sentimental but basically, I am looking for a decent guy who in a way completes me and loves life as much as I do. I am not looking for the Perfect Guy. Some people might get that, probably. But for me what matters is a person who would ask me if I'd want his last slice of pizza (not that I'd say yes), or offer me his coat if I'm cold. I want a guy with whom life would seem almost right, almost perfect!

The rumors are true - Maryland will be the Big Ten's thirteenth member. The University of Maryland Board of Regents has voted to accept an offer to join the B1G, according to ESPN sources. Rutgers will reportedly do the same by Tuesday. "Sources also said that Rutgers is expected to follow the Terrapins and will announce its own move from the Big East to the Big Ten, possibly as early as Tuesday. A Scarlet Knights move would give the Big Ten 14 members. Rutgers' Board of Governors is holding a regularly scheduled meeting Monday in New Brunswick, N.J. When Maryland, a charter member of the ACC, will make the move to the Big Ten is unknown, but sources at the school believe the Terps will be able to negotiate the current $50 million exit fee from the ACC to a lower amount. The additions of Maryland and Rutgers would spur the Big Ten toward negotiations on a new media rights deal when its first-tier rights expire in 2017. ESPN on Saturday first reported on t...

When i played the first Mass Effect, i didn't really understand what it would mean if i selected each conversation point. I kind of rushed through the dialouge a lot and never really thought about the consequences of my actions. So that means i killed Wrex by accidnet and saved the girl instead of Kaiden. I goddamn loved both of them and im still pissed at myself for doingt yhat

A Painted Houseby John Grisham
Chapter I
The hill people and the Mexicans arrived on the same day. It was a Wednesday, early in September 1952. The Cardinals were five games behind the Dodgers with three weeks to go, and the season looked hopeless. The cotton, however, was waist-high to my father, over my head, and he and my grandfather could be heard before supper whispering words that were seldom heard. It could be a "good crop."
They were farmers, hardworking men who embraced pessimism only when discussing the weather and the crops. There was too much sun, or too much rain, or the threat of floods in the lowlands, or the rising prices of seed and fertilizer, or the uncertainties of the markets. On the most perfect of days, my mother would quietly say to me, "Dont worry. The men will find something to worry about."
Pappy, my grandfather, was worried about the price for labor when we went searching for the hill people. They were paid for every hundred pounds of cotton they picked. The previous year, according to him, it was $1.50 per hundred. Hed already heard rumors that a farmer over in Lake City was offering $1.60.
This played heavily on his mind as we rode to town. He never talked when he drove, and this was because, according to my mother, not much of a driver herself, he was afraid of motorized vehicles. His truck was a 1939 Ford, and with the exception of our old John Deere tractor, it was our sole means of transportation. This was no particular problem except when we drove to church and my mother and grandmother were forced to sit snugly together up front in their Sunday best while my father and I rode in the back, engulfed in dust. Modern sedans were scarce in rural Arkansas.
Pappy drove thirty-seven miles per hour. His theory was that every automobile had a speed at which it ran most efficiently, and through some vaguely defined method he had determined that his old truck should go thirty-seven. My mother said (to me) that it was ridiculous.
She also said he and my father had once fought over whether the truck should go faster. But my father rarely drove it, and if I happened to be riding with him, he would level off at thirty-seven, out of respect for Pappy. My mother said she suspected he drove much faster when he was alone.
We turned onto Highway 135, and, as always, I watched Pappy carefully shift the gears — pressing slowly on the clutch, delicately prodding the stick shift on the steering column — until the truck reached its perfect speed. Then I leaned over to check the speedometer: thirty-seven. He smiled at me as if we both agreed that the truck belonged at that speed.
Highway 135 ran straight and flat through the farm country of the Arkansas Delta. On both sides as far as I could see, the fields were white with cotton. It was time for the harvest, a wonderful season for me because they turned out school for two months. For my grandfather, though, it was a time of endless worry.
On the right, at the Jordan place, we saw a group of Mexicans working in the field near the road. They were stooped at the waist, their cotton sacks draped behind them, their hands moving deftly through the stalks, tearing off the bolls. Pappy grunted. He didnt like the Jordans because they were Methodists — and Cubs fans. Now that they already had workers in their fields, there was another reason to dislike them.
The distance from our farm to town was fewer than eight miles, but at thirty-seven miles an hour, the trip took twenty minutes. Always twenty minutes, even with little traffic. Pappy didnt believe in passing slower vehicles in front of him. Of course, he was usually the slow one.
Near Black Oak, we caught up to a trailer filled to the top with snowy mounds of freshly picked cotton. A tarp covered the front half, and the Montgomery twins, who were my age, playfully bounced around in all that cotton until they saw us on the road below them. Then they stopped and waved. I waved back, but my grandfather did not. When he drove, he never waved or nodded at folks, and this was, my mother said, because he was afraid to take his hands from the wheel. She said people talked about him behind his back, saying he was rude and arrogant. Personally, I dont think he cared how the gossip ran.
We followed the Montgomery trailer until it turned at the cotton gin. It was pulled by their old Massey Harris tractor, and driven by Frank, the eldest Montgomery boy, who had dropped out of school in the fifth grade and was considered by everyone at church to be headed for serious trouble.
Highway 135 became Main Street for the short stretch it took to negotiate Black Oak. We passed the Black Oak Baptist Church, one of the few times wed pass without stopping for some type of service. Every store, shop, business, church, even the school, faced Main Street, and on Saturdays the traffic inched along, bumper to bumper, as the country folks flocked to town for their weekly shopping. But it was Wednesday, and when we got into town, we parked in front of Pop and Pearl Watsons grocery store on Main.
I waited on the sidewalk until my grandfather nodded in the direction of the store. That was my cue to go inside and purchase a Tootsie Roll, on credit. It only cost a penny, but it was not a foregone conclusion that I would get one every trip to town. Occasionally, he wouldnt nod, but I would enter the store anyway and loiter around the cash register long enough for Pearl to sneak me one, which always came with strict instructions not to tell my grandfather. She was afraid of him. Eli Chandler was a poor man, but he was intensely proud. He would starve to death before he took free food, which, on his list, included Tootsie Rolls. He wouldve beaten me with a stick if he knew I had accepted a piece of candy, so Pearl Watson had no trouble swearing me to secrecy.
But this time I got the nod. As always, Pearl was dusting the counter when I entered and gave her a stiff hug. Then I grabbed a Tootsie Roll from the jar next to the cash register. I signed the charge slip with great flair, and Pearl inspected my penmanship. "Its getting better, Luke," she said.
"Not bad for a seven-year-old," I said. Because of my mother, I had been practicing my name in cursive writing for two years. "Wheres Pop?" I asked. They were the only adults I knew who insisted I call them by their "first" names, but only in the store when no one else was listening. If a customer walked in, then it was suddenly Mr. and Mrs. Watson. I told no one but my mother this, and she told me she was certain no other child held such privilege.
"In the back, putting up stock," Pearl said. "Wheres your grandfather?"
It was Pearls calling in life to monitor the movements of the towns population, so any question was usually answered with another.
"The Tea Shoppe, checking on the Mexicans. Can I go back there?" I was determined to outquestion her.
"Better not. Yall using hill people, too?"
"If we can find them. Eli says they dont come down like they used to. He also thinks theyre all half crazy. Wheres Champ?" Champ was the stores ancient beagle, which never left Pops side.
Pearl grinned whenever I called my grandfather by his first name. She was about to ask me a question when the small bell clanged as the door opened and closed. A genuine Mexican walked in, alone and timid, as they all seemed to be at first. Pearl nodded politely at the new customer.
I shouted, "Buenos días, señor!"
The Mexican grinned and said sheepishly, "Buenos días," before disappearing into the back of the store.
"Theyre good people," Pearl said under her breath, as if the Mexican spoke English and might be offended by something nice she said. I bit into my Tootsie Roll and chewed it slowly while rewrapping and pocketing the other half.
"Elis worried about payin them too much," I said. With a customer in the store, Pearl was suddenly busy again, dusting and straightening around the only cash register.
"Eli worries about everything," she said.
"Hes a farmer."
"Are you going to be a farmer?"
"No maam. A baseball player."
"For the Cardinals?"
"Of course."
Pearl hummed for a bit while I waited for the Mexican. I had some more Spanish I was anxious to try.
The old wooden shelves were bursting with fresh groceries. I loved the store during picking season because Pop filled it from floor to ceiling. The crops were coming in, and money was changing hands.
Pappy opened the door just wide enough to stick his head in. "Lets go," he said; then, "Howdy, Pearl."
"Howdy, Eli," she said as she patted my head and sent me away.
"Where are the Mexicans?" I asked Pappy when we were outside.
"Should be in later this afternoon."
We got back in the truck and left town in the direction of Jonesboro, where my grandfather always found the hill people.
We parked on the shoulder of the highway, near the intersection of a gravel road. In Pappys opinion, it was the best spot in the county to catch the hill people. I wasnt so sure. Hed been trying to hire some for a week with no results. We sat on the tailgate in the scorching sun in complete silence for half an hour before the first truck stopped. It was clean and had good tires. If we were lucky enough to find hill people, they would live with us for the next two months. We wanted folks who were neat, and the fact that this truck was much nicer than Pappys was a good sign.
"Afternoon," Pappy said when the engine was turned off.
"Howdy," said the driver.
"Where yall from?" asked Pappy.
"Up north of Hardy."
With no traffic around, my grandfather stood on the pavement, a pleasant expression on his face, taking in the truck and its contents. The driver and his wife sat in the cab with a small girl between them. Three large teenaged boys were napping in the back. Everyone appeared to be healthy and well dressed. I could tell Pappy wanted these people.
"Yall lookin for work?" he asked.
"Yep. Lookin for Lloyd Crenshaw, somewhere west of Black Oak."
My grandfather pointed this way and that, and they drove off. We watched them until they were out of sight.
He couldve offered them more than Mr. Crenshaw was promising. Hill people were notorious for negotiating their labor. Last year, in the middle of the first picking on our place, the Fulbrights from Calico Rock disappeared one Sunday night and went to work for a farmer ten miles away. But Pappy was not dishonest, nor did he want to start a bidding war.
We tossed a baseball along the edge of a cotton field, stopping whenever a truck approached.
My glove was a Rawlings that Santa had delivered the Christmas before. I slept with it nightly and oiled it weekly, and nothing was as dear to my soul.
My grandfather, who had taught me how to throw and catch and hit, didnt need a glove. His large, callused hands absorbed my throws without the slightest sting.
Though he was a quiet man who never bragged, Eli Chandler had been a legendary baseball player. At the age of seventeen, he had signed a contract with the Cardinals to play professional baseball. But the First War called him, and not long after he came home, his father died. Pappy had no choice but to become a farmer.
Pop Watson loved to tell me stories of how great Eli Chandler had been — how far he could hit a baseball, how hard he could throw one.
"Probably the greatest ever from Arkansas," was Pops assessment.
"Better than Dizzy Dean?" I would ask.
"Not even close," Pop would say, sighing.
When I relayed these stories to my mother, she always smiled and said, "Be careful. Pop tells tales."
Pappy, who was rubbing the baseball in his mammoth hands, cocked his head at the sound of a vehicle. Coming from the west was a truck with a trailer behind it. From a quarter of a mile away we could tell they were hill people. We walked to the shoulder of the road and waited as the driver downshifted, gears crunching and whining as he brought the truck to a stop.
I counted seven heads, five in the truck, two in the trailer.
"Howdy," the driver said slowly, sizing up my grandfather as we in turn quickly scrutinized them.
"Good afternoon," Pappy said, taking a step closer but still keeping his distance.
Tobacco juice lined the lower lip of the driver. This was an ominous sign. My mother thought most hill people were prone to bad hygiene and bad habits. Tobacco and alcohol were forbidden in our home. We were Baptists.
"Names Spruill," he said.
"Eli Chandler. Nice to meet you. Yall lookin for work?"
"Where you from?"
"Eureka Springs."
The truck was almost as old as Pappys, with slick tires and a cracked windshield and rusted fenders and what looked like faded blue paint under a layer of dust. A tier had been constructed above the bed, and it was crammed with cardboard boxes and burlap bags filled with supplies. Under it, on the floor of the bed, a mattress was wedged next to the cab. Two large boys stood on it, both staring blankly at me. Sitting on the tailgate, barefoot and shirtless, was a heavy young man with massive shoulders and a neck as thick as a stump. He spat tobacco juice between the truck and the trailer and seemed oblivious to Pappy and me. He swung his feet slowly, then spat again, never looking away from the asphalt beneath him.
"Im lookin for field hands," Pappy said.
"How much you payin?" Mr. Spruill asked.
"One-sixty a hundred," Pappy said.
Mr. Spruill frowned and looked at the woman beside him. They mumbled something.
It was at this point in the ritual that quick decisions had to be made. We had to decide whether we wanted these people living with us. And they had to accept or reject our price.
"What kinda cotton?" Mr. Spruill asked.
"Stoneville," my grandfather said. "The bolls are ready. Itll be easy to pick." Mr. Spruill could look around him and see the bolls bursting. The sun and soil and rains had cooperated so far. Pappy, of course, had been fretting over some dire rainfall prediction in the Farmers Almanac.
"We got one-sixty last year," Mr. Spruill said.
I didnt care for money talk, so I ambled along the center line to inspect the trailer. The tires on the trailer were even balder than those on the truck. One was half flat from the load. It was a good thing that their journey was almost over.
Rising in one corner of the trailer, with her elbows resting on the plank siding, was a very pretty girl. She had dark hair pulled tightly behind her head and big brown eyes. She was younger than my mother, but certainly a lot older than I was, and I couldnt help but stare.
"Whats your name?" she said.
"Luke," I said, kicking a rock. My cheeks were immediately warm.
"Whats yours?"
"Tally. How old are you?"
"Seven. How old are you?"
"How long you been ridin in that trailer?"
"Day and a half."
She was barefoot, and her dress was dirty and very tight — tight all the way to her knees. This was the first time I remember really examining a girl. She watched me with a knowing smile. A kid sat on a crate next to her with his back to me, and he slowly turned around and looked at me as if I werent there. He had green eyes and a long forehead covered with sticky black hair. His left arm appeared to be useless.
"This is Trot," she said. "He aint right."
"Nice to meet you, Trot," I said, but his eyes looked away. He acted as if he hadnt heard me.
"How old is he?" I asked her.
"Twelve. Hes a cripple."
Trot turned abruptly to face a corner, his bad arm flopping lifelessly. My friend Dewayne said that hill people married their cousins and thats why there were so many defects in their families.
Tally appeared to be perfect, though. She gazed thoughtfully across the cotton fields, and I admired her dirty dress once again.
I knew my grandfather and Mr. Spruill had come to terms because Mr. Spruill started his truck. I walked past the trailer, past the man on the tailgate who was briefly awake but still staring at the pavement, and stood beside Pappy. "Nine miles that way, take a left by a burned-out barn, then six more miles to the St. Francis River. Were the first farm past the river on your left."
"Bottomland?" Mr. Spruill asked, as if he were being sent into a swamp.
"Some of it is, but its good land."
Mr. Spruill glanced at his wife again, then looked back at us. "Where do we set up?"
"Youll see a shady spot in the back, next to the silo. Thats the best place."
We watched them drive away, the gears rattling, the tires wobbling, crates and boxes and pots bouncing along.
"You dont like them, do you?" I asked.
"Theyre good folks. Theyre just different."
"I guess were lucky to have them, arent we?"
"Yes, we are."
More field hands meant less cotton for me to pick. For the next month I would go to the fields at sunrise, drape a nine-foot cotton sack over my shoulder, and stare for a moment at an endless row of cotton, the stalks taller than I was, then plunge into them, lost as far as anyone could tell. And I would pick cotton, tearing the fluffy bolls from the stalks at a steady pace, stuffing them into the heavy sack, afraid to look down the row and be reminded of how endless it was, afraid to slow down because someone would notice. My fingers would bleed, my neck would burn, my back would hurt.
Yes, I wanted lots of help in the fields. Lots of hill people, lots of Mexicans.

Review quote
'These works, five shortlisted for the prize and a further 12 drawn from the Caine prizes's attendent writing workshop, cannot be neatly surmissed or blithely stereotyped... This is a vital collection of stories drawing on a rich treasury of material that couldn't have come from anywhere else' Alex Rayner, The Guardian. 'Over its 12 outings, the stories shortlisted for the Caine Prize for African Writing have offered readers a one-stop shop window of the continent's brightest new talents. On Monday, NoViolet Bulawayo from Zimbabwe (right) took the GBP10,000 award for "Hitting Budapest", published in The Boston Review. Hisham Matar, chair of the judges, praised the "moral power and weight" of a story about a gang of vulnerable kids from a author who "takes delight in language". Once again, the entire shortlist - plus other stories from the Caine Prize workshops - is published in a single volume: To See the Mountain (New Internationalist, GBP8.99). Once again, it's a revelation.' Boyd Tonkin, The Independent
