Paul: In the grand tradition in which we were raised as kids, with serials on Saturday afternoon at the movies ("Jungle Jim" etc) hinting in previews at what's to come the following week, here is the opening to the cannibal story.
Hope it whets your appetite.
A Journey Into The Land Of The Cannibals
By Paul Raffaele
For days I have been slogging through a remote rain-soaked jungle in Indonesian New Guinea, on a quest to visit the last cannibal tribe on earth, the feared Korowai, a stone age people who perch in high treehouses and enjoy eating human flesh. That morning I boarded a pirogue, a big canoe hacked out of a tree trunk, for the last and most dangerous stage of the journey, along the twisting Ndeiram Kabur river. Now, at mid-evening, the four paddlers bend their backs with vigor, knowing we will soon make camp for the night.
My guide, Kornelius Sembering, knows the Korowai well, but even he has never been this far up river, aware that some clans up here threaten to kill outsiders who dare enter their territory. They especially fear and hate those of us with pale skins, even though none have ever seen white people. They call us, 'laleo' or 'ghost-demon,' warned of our presence beyond their jungles by age-old prophetic campfire tales.

Our surveys in Fresno/Kings, Merced and Yolo/Colusa production areas have shown scattered presence of tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV). Although thrips counts are high, overall levels of TSWV remain low (<1-5% in most fields), but there are exceptions. It is unlikely that TSWV infection now will cause economic loss in processing tomatoes, even with delayed harvest; late season fresh market fields are still vulnerable.
At this time in the season, management of TSWV depends largely on effective sanitation (destroying old harvested crops) and management of susceptible bridge crops, such as fall lettuce or radicchio. These crops are most vulnerable to infection if planted adjacent or nearby (e.g., less that ½ mile away) from plantings of pepper or tomato with known TSWV infections. Also note that resistant tomato varieties do not show symptoms of TSWV infection, but may be infected with the virus.
Thrips population densities are very high (>1000 thrips/card and >5 thrips/flower collected every 2 weeks) in most fields in all of the surveyed locations the Fresno-Kings, Merced and Colusa-Yolo production areas. TSWV is now being detected in some thrips samples.
FRESNO-KINGS AREA: With the exception of two fields, no monitored fields have or had more than 5% of plants with TSWV symptoms. In terms of the fields that currently have relatively high levels of symptomatic plants (>15%), which are located southwest of Mendota along I-5, there have not been increases in the level or distribution of the viral symptoms. Although there was a field in northwestern Kings County with more than 7%, it was harvested in late-July. No TSWV has been detected in several monitored fields in the areas near San Joaquin and Firebaugh in Fresno County.
YOLO-COLUSA AREA: Thrips continue to be very high in all monitored fields, but TSWV has remained low (<1%) in most monitored fields. One exception is a monitored field in Sutter County, where TSWV incidence has reached 15% in some parts of the field.
MERCED: Thrips population densities vary among monitored fields in Merced, but remain moderately high. Levels of TSWV remain low in most monitored fields (<1-5%), although one field had levels of 15%.
Planting a susceptible crop, like lettuce, near TSWV-infected tomatoes (or peppers) should be avoided if possible. Because processing tomatoes are likely to remain in the area longer than average, there is even higher risk for developing TSWV in lettuce.
This can occur when large numbers of TSWV-carrying thrips move in the direction of prevailing winds at the time of the harvest of processing tomatoes. Correct identification of the problem is the key in order to make the right decision for prevention or implementation of a solution (spraying for thrips). A use of immunostrips (dip-stick tests) can provide on site confirmation of TSWV infection.
Late season fresh market tomato fields will probably benefit from insecticide sprays to control thrips. Recent test results from Tom Turini, UCCE Farm Advisor in Fresno County, has shown TSWV reduction with foliar applications of dimethoate, Radiant, Lannate, Beleaf, and Agrimek. Be aware that insecticide tank mixes with fungicides to control powdery mildew may result in crop phytotoxicity, especially if a surfactant is also added to the mix.
As always, we encourage growers to contact us with any questions or for a field visit. We are particularly interested in confirming outbreaks of TSWV or other viruses in growers' fields. This year, we are surveying more fields as part of an attempt to better determine the level of TSWV incidence that can result in yield loss and we are developing a thrips predictive model for thrips populations and a field risk index to provide growers more tools with which to fight thrips and TSWV.

Powdery mildew incidence is low to non-existent to date.
Fusarium wilt is much more prevalent and scattered about. Since many varieties have Fusarium wilt resistance to Race 1 and 2, we presume the disease is that of Race 3. Fusarium wilt race 3 resistant lines will become more valuable.
Late blight is reported as scattered in many areas of the region. We've had coastal-like fog several weeks ago as well as many dewy mornings together with high humidity within fields. On August 22, we have another foggy morning around the Woodland area. If late blight was established in some fields that are several weeks away from harvest, continued preventive fungicidal sprays might be wise. Broad-spectrum fungicides would have greater utility to cover blackmold fruit rot as a preventive as well. Because of the delayed harvest of earlier plantings, we anticipate an overlap of fields ready to be harvested in September. While powdery mildew activity is low to nonexistent to date, that disease should remain a concern. Selecting fungicides such as Quadris Top® might be a part of that fungicidal program. Fields to be harvested in late September and beyond are at reduced risk of severe crop impact from mildew. At that late period, leaf drying won't be as much of a concern because of generally mildew temperatures and shorter days.
Many ripening tomato fields in our area during mid to late August have major vine decline with loss of canopy. I'm working to identify some of the issues together with Extension Pathologist Mike Davis and others. We see many different diseases. Verticillium wilt severity is widespread as usual, but in some case, with greater severity. Fusarium wilt is increasing and should be noted to help guide management decisions in future years. Fusarium foot rot is also occurring. Russet mite damage is visible and expected over the years at various levels. It is not alarming as well as relatively easily controlled. Our bacterial speck from the late spring has clearly had a major impact in many fields. There is more corky root rot in some fields as well. We've discovered another field planted to a nematode resistant variety with severe nematode damage in concentrated spots.
Overall, the level of leaf drying, vine collapse and sun-exposed fruit is high. I am working toward a solution. Within a field, it appears there are several factors involved. Thus, identification remains a key to approaching economic remedies.
Late season vine decline may be a result of several contributing factors, such as Verticillium and potassium deficiency seen here.

Our tomato crop is clearly behind our 'normal' harvest schedule. Heat units tracked this year from a Davis weather station indicate we are delayed. For a March 15 planting, the delay is about 15 days. The major set back period was mid May through mid June. The average heat unit accumulation per day during July, August and mid September is usually averages about 25 units.

Our simple daily heat unit day calculation was: (Tempmax-Tempmin)/2 – 50°F).
Bacterial speck can also cause delays in days to harvest by suppressing plant growth and vigor as well as blighting flowers. For many fields, it appears flower set was substantially reduced. While a windshield assessment of many of these tomato fields would indicate plants had fully recovered, it is clear fruit set was greatly reduced while vine growth recovered to produce full sized plants.
On the positive side, with the milder temperatures, fruit set in fields without high disease is very good. We will have weak as well as very high yielding fields as the season progresses.
Tomato spotted wilt virus has become widespread in our area, but mostly at a low level (below 1%). The virus is vectored by thrips. Locally, thrips often remain at moderate to high levels from late spring to early fall. While the virus is a concern for all, it appears reasonable that geographic areas that have historical damage levels above 1% might include a spray program when plants are young and thrip activity is high. Perimeters of fields often are the most damaged, indicating an outside source of the virus. Within field spread from early infections and subsequent movement might well lead to high crop losses. Later infections, when plants are more mature, cause much less damage. Assess benefit of spray programs by leaving unsprayed check strips. Alternatively, TSWV resistant varieties might be selected in future years, particularly in the historically highly impacted fields. However, the past incidence of TSWV isn't always an accurate predictor of future activity.

Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV) Update for Central California Processing Tomato Production Areas
Few TSWV-positive weeds detected
Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV) testing of weeds has continued this month, with samples submitted from Tom Turini (Fresno County) and Michelle Le Strange (Tulare and Kings Counties). Most of the weeds were free of symptoms, however, 1 out of 4 samples of Shepherd's Purse and 1 out of 42 samples of prickly lettuce were positive for TSWV by RT-PCR. Both of these positive samples showed symptoms of slight mottling or necrotic spots on some leaves. All the other weed samples (36 malva, 12 groundsel, 26 pineapple weed, 19 fiddleneck, 7 sowthistle, 5 bindweed and 41 prickly lettuce) were negative for TSWV.
Additional testing by Scott Stoddard (Merced County) of various winter-grown vegetables (radicchio, cabbage, arugula, beet greens, broccoli, red lettuce, and cardoon) found one sample positive for TSWV.
No TSWV-positive thrips emerged from test soils
In February we collected soil samples from areas that had heavy infestation of thrips and TSWV in fall crops. We are still not catching many thrips out of the soils, and the thrips emerged from these soils so far have not had TSWV. In the soil samples that are being collected, there are volunteer tomatoes and many weeds. To date, however, these volunteers and weeds, as well as the fava beans in the soil cages (used as indicator plants), have remained free of TSWV symptoms.
Weed control and sanitation is highly advisable
The results of previous and current weed and crop tests suggest TSWV overwinters in a relatively small number of some susceptible crops (e.g., lettuce and radicchio) and weeds. Thus, in areas where overwintering TSWV has been confirmed, it is important that good field sanitation be practiced before planting tomatoes to limit the potential early spread of the disease. Weeds and volunteer crop plants within fields and in adjacent fields should be thoroughly destroyed (by disking or herbicide sprays) prior to transplanting tomatoes. Please contact your farm advisor if you suspect TSWV in recently planted tomatoes or in nearby crops and weeds.
Thrips levels
We have no information about how the recent wet weather will impact thrips (such as population growth and behavior), which would better enable us to predict relative levels of TSWV during 2011. Cool, rainy weather is not favorable for thrips population increases -- yellow sticky card monitoring in numerous fields throughout the central valley has revealed very low thrips populations throughout the winter. As of our last collection date, which was during the week of 14 March, thrips levels in Fresno County were zero to very low. Additional monitoring sites will be placed in numerous fields throughout the central valley to continue our monitoring efforts. Monitoring results will be posted every two weeks or more frequently if needed, through CTRI email, CTGA farm advisor blog, the Merced TSWV fax list, and others.

Watch for Bacterial Speck
Recent weather has been conducive for the disease bacterial speck, caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato. The disease is spread by splashing rain or sprinkler irrigation. Physical injury to plant tissue from cultivation equipment, hail damage, workers, etc., increases crop susceptibility and disease severity
Symptoms typically are small dark specks on leaves often surrounded by a yellow halo. The disease may be more pronounced at leaf margins and leaflet tips where moisture droplets collect. As the pathogen spreads, individual spots expand to coalesce with other lesions and may blight entire leaflets. In severe cases, large sections of petioles and stems may become infected and turn black.
Since plants are commonly treated with copper sprays in the greenhouse as a preventive measure, symptoms may not be detected at the time of delivery. Nonetheless, additional preventative sprays may be needed in the field to keep this disease in check. Before initiating a spray program, the following factors should be considered:
Weather forecast. Infected plants tend to recover once the weather turns hot and dry.
Recent history (last year) of speck in the field. Speck overwinters in infected debris.
Diseased transplants detected from the greenhouse.
Ability to make application, especially with ground rigs. Thorough coverage is important, as the copper spray program is only moderately effective. Ground rigs are the preferred method.
Grower's tolerance to risk. A reasonable approach may be to delay a spray program until after the disease is seen in the field.
Most processing varieties are bred with resistant to bacterial speck race 0. However, a new race (race 1) has largely replaced the original, and thus the current plant resistance offers no control. Therefore, all varieties should be considered susceptible. UC IPM guidelines suggest application of copper-containing bactericides. If permitted by your processor, the addition of a fungicide like Dithane® as a tank mix with copper can improve control.
More information about bacterial speck, including photos, can be found on the UC Integrated Pest Management website at http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu, or contact your county Farm Advisor for disease confirmation.
Bacterial speck causes spotting on the leaves, and may darken whole stems and petioles.

Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus Update
Central California Processing Tomato Production Areas
1. TSWV-infected weeds detected!
Controlling weeds now is critical for TSWV management in 2011 tomatoes.
TSWV has been detected in over-wintering weeds and crops in processing
tomato production areas in central California. In the Five Points area, sowthistle
plants collected from a vineyard tested positive for TSWV (4 TSWV-positive/10
sampled). The likelihood of early infection in tomatoes will decrease if the number
of TSWV-infected weeds in the area can be reduced. This will be especially
important as the temperatures increase and thrips become more mobile. If
infected weeds are suspected near tomato plants or other susceptible crops, use
a herbicide or disk to eliminate this important source of TSWV. This is
particularly important this season, as there were high levels of thrips and TSWV
infection in some tomato and lettuce fields in fall 2010.
2. Spring lettuce: low thrips populations and no TSWV.
Ove rwinter thrips activity in spring lettuce fields in the Huron/Five Points areas in
Fresno County has been very low, as determined by yellow sticky cards collected
every 2 weeks (0 to 10 thrips per card). Consistent with this result, no TSWV-infected
lettuce has been found in this area.
3. Winter radicchio: low thrips populations and a low TSWV incidence.
In Merced, thrips populations in winter radicchio fields were low, and low rates of
TSWV (less than 5%) were detected. However, in some harvested fields,
regrowth of disked radicchio plants has tested positive for TSWV.
4. Regrowth of lettuce and radicchio plants after harvest can be a source of
thrips and/or TSWV for subsequent tomato crops.
As in the past, we have observed fields where regrowth of disked/plowed lettuce
or radicchio plants are infected with TSWV and harboring populations of thrips.
Thus, if field conditions allow, crop residues need to be disked and thoroughly
incorporated shortly after harvest to eliminate any potential for regrowth.
Sowthistle plants with TSWV symptoms.
Your farm advisor should be contacted if you suspect TSWV.

Hi, i have a v5/v6 ps2. as you can see from my title, i'm having some problem with my network connection/harddrive loader/FF11. a few months ago, my ps2 is working as faithfully as possible, but then one day after a LAN party, my ps2's network adaptor decided to stop working(thus the Harddrive as well). anyways i have tested both network adaptor and HDD on a friend's PS2, and they work in his ps2 without much problem. soo anyone got any idea on what is going on with my ps2?
on another forum, a reply told me that this entire issue could be caused by a blown fuse. i have pretty good soldering skills (modded 4 ps2's and a few wii's) soo does anyone knows the location of this fuse? maybe a bypass could solve my problem.
Thanks in advance.

One of the very first decisions a new mom makes is whether or not to breastfeed her baby. Breastfeeding can be one of the most rewarding experiences for a mother and baby, and one of the hallmarks of attachment parenting. Here are some of the basics you need to know about nursing your baby.
First session
If your delivery was without complications for you and baby, most doctors will have you try and breastfeed your baby soon after he is born. Early nursing sessions are a chance to bond, but also a signal for your body to begin producing milk. The first milk your breasts will produce — called colostrum — is important for babies because it contains antibodies and has a laxative effect that helps your baby pass his first stools. More mature milk will start to come in around day three or four, and will appear whiter in color than the colostrum.
Proper positioning of your baby will help her latch onto the nipple correctly. Find a comfortable place to sit and bring your baby close, so that she is facing directly at your breast. Many moms find it comfortable to use a nursing pillow to help support the baby's body, but even a regular pillow can be helpful. Your baby can either be positioned across your body or in a "football" hold with her legs wrapped around the side of your body. Try nursing several different ways, until you find what works best for you.
Latching on
Probably the single most important element of breastfeeding is helping your baby to latch on properly. Begin by gently touching your nipple to baby's mouth, encouraging her to latch on. As your baby's mouth opens, gently bring her closer until she closes on the nipple. Once she is latched on, she should begin feeding. If she doesn't seem to be getting enough milk or the nursing is painful, release the latch and try again.
One of the things many moms love about breastfeeding is the convenience. No matter where you are, you can always find a place to nurse your baby when he's hungry.
Celebrities like Beyonce and Maggie Gyllenhaal have been spotted nursing their babies in public. Many restaurants and shopping areas have designated nursing rooms for mothers, or you can use a blanket to help cover your baby while he's nursing.
AllParenting.com believes in making life easier for the modern mom. At AllParenting, moms can connect with each other, discuss hot topics and more importantly, find content about their entire lifestyle, not just the moments they spending parenting.

Everyone has got their own physique, face shape, and style, which makes us all unique and different. Some of us prefer to have our hair short, while others have never cut a single lock on their head, some of us have round faces and others have sharper features, and each is beautiful in their own way. A problem, however, can arise while trying to accessorize. Something that looks absolutely fabulous on one person, may look drab or tacky on another person. So here's how to avoid the confusion when it comes to selecting earrings, because one size certainly does not fit all.
If you've got a long face, try opting for chandelier styles earrings. They provide the elegant drape without accentuating the length of your face. Because of the chandelier properties, the earring also flairs outwards to help balance out the proportions of your face.
For rectangular faces, round and curvy earrings are ideal. Circular styles bring back softness to the face when features are sharp and severe. Round studs, hanging tear drops and earrings with curved edges help balance out your face beautifully.
The goal for ladies' with round faces is to wear long drop earrings, preferably that are longer than their width. Simple hanging earrings also help elongate the neck, putting a bit more elegance into your look, as well as a complimenting contrast to your face shape.
With a heart shaped face, look for earring styles that are wider at the bottom than at the top. This leaves a lot of room for funky geometric shapes and interesting colors, so be creative.
And finally: the oval face. If you've got an oval face, then you've got it made. Pretty much every style suits you, but remember to experiment with many styles to see what you like best, and don't be a slave to trends. Try new things and see what works!

I'm Julien Bayle.
I'm a french minimalist digital artist working at the crossroads of sounds & visuals & data.
My work explores the relationship between data & art through music pieces, live performances & A/V installations. If my technology under the hood is often described as "complex and intriguing", this is the result of a long process in which each step became a refinement in which the superfluous is each time removed.
I'm teaching the approaches of digital arts course at Marseille's Arts School, as a guest artist and professor, and leading some workshops there about how we can use data to create visuals, sounds and more.
In 2013, I published 2 books, including one in both languages french & english: C Programming for Arduino & Max for Live Ultimate Zen Guide.
I'm also known in electronic music scenes as protofuse.
I'm the founder of the minimalist & idm label named bitsquare records.
Artistic & Research Statements
As a sound designer & composer, I'm working on very long & evolving soundscapes in which smooth & low frequencies filtered textures can cross sparkly & bright bursts of noise very rich in harmonics. I like to work with very long sequences produced by algorithms. Algorithms are one of the most important piece in my work especially because they are designed for running under multiple constraints that give me a way to control the sounds & sequences produced. I like to include external data sources, often in real time, or randomizing processes more or less control by myself.
If each part contains its own nature, the global pieces can be felt like coherent journeys.
As a live performer, I often design specific sets for each places that makes me playing almost each time a new live performance. I try to involve the audience by progressively making my ambient soundscapes or my complex 5/4 or ternary rhythmic structures entering deeper in the mind. Each progression contains almost each time parts without tempo, more based on the places of each sound in a time interval, playing with the relative place of each parts both in the time & in the tune, trying to raise disorientation feelings near from concrete & electro-acoustic music fields.
As an A/V installations designer, I work with huge sets of data, from locally available ones to real-time pumped from the Internet. Each data source is filtered, refine & finally used to produced sounds & visuals focused pieces. Each work is unique and each piece is adapted to the place that hosts it. I contribute to several pieces visible a bit everywhere in the world, I participate to many show-specific software designs, even if I'm now focusing on my own art.
As a technology teacher, I share my experiences and approaches with students on site, or remotely through the Internet. I help them technically but with their own understanding of what they want to artistically express. This latter thing is the most interesting, according to them, because I'm their interface between their own future art & the technology available to express it. I'm very involved in Max6 framework design, but I'm reading C/C++, Java, JavaScript & more languages which makes me able to work with a lot people with very different background. I write books in which I try to push my own approaches about the use of technology in art.
Technology teaching & Lectures
Because technology is a proper part of my work, I'm involved and concerned by teaching and transmitting knowledge & experiences. My students are currently only private ones. I'm working with them onsite or online remotely. As they say, they are "looking for understanding my different approaches of technical problems [they] can find on their way during an artistic research or a pure operational problem". I'm providing both academic-like courses & artistic project oriented ones. I'll be involved deeper as soon as possible with art & design schools.
I wrote some books and especially this one about Arduino.
I'm giving lectures both about my art, describing my different path from the inspirating idea to the piece & about technology, speaking about the state of the art of sound design frameworks & visuals. Being interested by the interaction between both sound & visual matter, I'm also providing help in User Interaction Design fields. Then, I'm teaching Ableton Live & Max for Live a lot too, as an ableton certified trainer. I recorded a huge 7 hours course about Ableton Live 9 et PUSH.

Rate This RecipeI was surprised that a recipe so simple could taste so good! A nice change of pace from more traditional spreads.
This was a decent recipe. It was something new for me to shred pears (I used a box grater for the first time, too). I don't know pears very well, and I used d'Anjou pears, if it matters. I microwaved this for a total of 8 minutes before I tried it. I'm not sure what kind of consistency I was supposed to look for - it certainly wasn't jam-like, and the "shreds" were still pretty noticeable. Maybe I should have cooked it even longer in order to transform the consistency. Anyhow, I tried this on both cake (a pretty plain vanilla ring cake with a little glaze) and on ice cream (French vanilla). It was a pretty tasty accompaniment for both (especially when warmed up and put on the ice cream), but nothing spectacular. But I think I'll still make this again, since I have more crystallized ginger I want to use up.
I felt this spread was okay, but nothing fantastic. The spread came out very sweet and surprisingly bland, and it was completely overpowered by the gingerbread I served this with. Definitely needs a little je-ne-sais-quoi to boost the flavour.
