We continue our grim and tumultuous Nicaraguan tale on that deserted wasteland known as Rhode Island (Redemption Island) where a sad and glitterless award ceremony is taking place. There is no bejeweled audience, no fanfare, not even a stoned and uninterested host. The Pretty Pony (Matt) is putting on a tragic and lonely show for one. He's just received the Lifetime Achievement Award for the Most Naive Person To Ever Play Survivor and now he's going to curl up in his shelter and wonder why the lord insists upon playing such a twisted practical joke on him. He's sure there's a reason for it. He's sure that somehow it will bring him wisdom and peace. He's just not exactly sure when the moronic will inherit the earth or when the naive will see God. Matthew wasn't very clear on those two particular beatitudes you know. So, with hair cascading down his back and little humid tendrils forming out of frustration, the pony gives himself to God and waits for his next mission. With a grateful heart and an exhausted sigh, Pretty Pony mumbles a thank you to the bearded man in the sky and dreams of gumdrops and lollipops, petit fours and church doors, tinkling bells and puppy dog tails. Dream on little pony, dream on.
The next day on Murlonio Mike and Lawyer Dave are fussing with the fire and musing over just how genius Rob was to get rid of Pretty Pony when he did. Lawyer Dave wonders if Boston Rob whacked Joe Pesci in Goodfellas too. He's surely capable of it. He bought Pretty Pony a new suit, a nice meal and then BAM! Bullet through through the brain. And since Mike and Lawyer Dave are hardcore mobster movie fans, they high five each other, then they high five Rob and declare, "That was so cool dude!". That battered ole pair of riding boots Julie, on the other hand, isn't quite as enthusiastic. She rubs oil into her cracking face and creaks her neck back and forth over how cold-blooded the Omarions (Ometepes) were last night. Oh sure, she threw a challenge to backstab/blindside Lucifer (Russell) way back when, but somehow that was ok. What happened last night to Pretty Pony was not. Look you hypocritical piece of shoe leather, shut up! Shut up, shut up, shut up. No one wants to hear your sepia-toned speeches or your burnt siena thoughts. Just roll yourself up and wait for someone to stitch your mouth closed please.
Over in a different part of the camp, another strange move by a Zappa (Zapatera) is taking place. Rooster (Ralph) wants Assley (Ashley) to tell him if he's on the "chop block". Yes Rooster, you're up next to have your hubcaps removed, your sound system stripped and the leather of your interior reworked and reassembled into a life mate for Julie. Assley looks into the distance, waves away at some imaginary bugs and replies, "Oh I can't talk about anything like that." She looks to Natalie for help, but all Natalie is doing is taking notes and keeping a very detailed ledger of how much air everyone has breathed that day and how much of their word allowance they've used up. Rooster then scratches his head and says, "Ay, iffin your'n tha top 3 a'll vote fer y'all an' not fer Bawston Rahb." In response, I scratched my head and tried to make sense of it all. No move was made, no promises were given. A girl simply deflected his question and somehow that has now gotten her a jury vote. It was all very strange and unfortunate because I knew in that instant that the Rooster of yesteryear was no more. That man who wore overalls, crowed and flustered Lucifer once upon a time was only here on this earth for a few hours. I liked him when he was here. He was great fun, but now he's off floating into the abyss crowing at asteroids and meteors and building shelters and white picket fences for the alien people now. *waves* Goodbye gentle hairy ginger clown. Goodbye.
Rob gets a whiff of desperation from the Zappas so he calls a troop meeting and instructs the scouts to employ the "Buddy System." From here on out, no one gets caught alone and no one talks to any Zappas. Phillip listens to Rob intently then echoes each and every one of his sentiments. Did you ever see that episode of The Office where Michael Scott takes his staff on a booze cruise? The Captain of the cruise is welcoming his guests and laying down some rules when all of a sudden Michael echoes everything he says and makes it sound like it's his own. That's exactly what Phillip was doing last night! It went something like this:
Rob: From here on out we don't decide who's going next until the very last minute.
Phillip: That's, yes, last minute.
Rob: We're going to do the buddy system. No one talks to anybody on their own.
Phillip: No one... no conversations about... We have to weather... we'll deploy.
Rob: We'll be the final six.
Phillip: Final six, here we go! My F-4 was hit and I was wounded but I could have made it back...
And then Phil wandered off and with his arms spread like a fighter jet and started shooting at the leaves in the trees. So while Phillip was off thwarting the enemy, Rob hung back and told us about his plan for full tribal domination. Part one of the full tribal domination plan is to keep a very strong us v. them mentality in play. He wants his Omarions to hate the Zappas. The more they hate, the safer he is. Secondly, he wants the Omarions to be arrogant and have a certain sense of "We're better than you" when it comes to the Zappas. He won't act like this, but his tribe will and that'll boost confidence as well as make everyone but himself come off as completely fucking annoying. Lastly, he's drawn up a map to Sharon Tate's house. His tribe will know what to do with it. Don't you worry your pretty little heads about it.
Now, Phillip may think he's Rob's #1 soldier, but, in fact, it's Natalie. I'm struggling a little bit with Natalie because she's such a bump on a log who only intermittently pops up here and there Absolutely nothing about her is remarkable. I should have more nicknames for people at this point in the season, but Natalie is like a bran flake. She's a grape nut, a cheerio. She has no flavor, no oomph. So, for the time being I guess she'll just continue being "Natalie". If you have any nickname suggestions, do your thang in the comments. So anyhow, Natalie pulls Rob into the trees and tells him about how Rooster was talking to Assley about the final three. She paints Assley to be some sort of secretive conniving bitch and I almost liked Natalie in that moment. My deeply rooted desire to bounce that loathsome Assley out into the remotest part of the Indian Ocean is well known so anything to make her a liability sounds good to me. Rob is grateful for the intel, crosses Assley's name off his list entitled "Final Three" and laughs about how silly she is to think that she can pull a fast one on him. He's in charge, not her. He's running this game, not that underarm tweezer. Had anyone else boasted like this I would have been annoyed, but, if we're being honest here, Rob is running the game. If he were in the Bad Girls Club house, he'd be the HBIC. What he says does go. His flawless execution this season has earned him the right to boast. So, boast away Rob. You've earned it.
And now we arrive at the first Immunity Challenge of the night. Phillip marched in with his shirt buttoned up, his pants neatly pressed and a gigantic turkey vulture feather sticking out of his Karate Kid headband. Dimples asks if the bird is ok and Phillip responds that no, the bird is not ok. It turns out Phillip had a meditation where he asked for a sign. Out of thin air his great great grandfather who's 100% Cherokee, 18% Navahoe and 36% Lakota manifested as a Forrest Gump feather and now the former Ontempo, Omyummo, Omoreo tribe is all set to win the challenge. (Translation: he found some peyote while out hunting the Predator and ended up wrestling a turkey vulture to death and stealing his tail feather.) For today's challenge, Survivors will dig to retrieve a club. First person to smash Phillip to death, wins! Just kidding. The first six to find their clubs and smash a tile move onto round 2. In round 2, players must submerge their heads into a trough, get a mouthful of water, crawl under the trough and spit the water into a bowl filling up a tube. First three to fill their tubes with spit move onto the final round where they must solve a block puzzle. First person to solve the puzzle wins. Survivors ready, go!
Dig, dig, dig. Grant and Rob smash through their tiles and Dimples loses an eye from a wayward shard. Dig, dig, dig. Rooster and Mike smash through while Phillip's feather keeps falling into his eyes. Dig, dig, dig. Lawyer Dave and Leatherface smash through and we've got our six - Grant, Rob, Rooster, Mike, Lawyer Dave and that Topsider Julie.
Slurp, slurp, slurp. Tapeworms, cholera, dyssentary. Slurp, slurp, spit. Grant and Mike take an early lead. Slurp, slurp, spit. Leatherface shrivels up and will never be wearable again. Slurp, slurp, spit. Phillip dances on the sidelines waving his feather and going "Woo woo woo woo woo!" while slapping his own face with his hands. Slurp, slurp, spit. Grant and Mike fill their tubes, grab their sides and cough up some intestinal parasites. Slurp, slurp, spit. With only one spot left, Lawyer Dave spits like he's never spit before, fills his tube and moves onto the final round.
In the final round, Grant, Mike and Lawyer Dave are confronted with some building blocks. Naturally, as Lawyer Dave is the puzzle master from the land of Jenga. I expected him to merely flick his pinky finger and have his block castle constructed light years before anyone else. But that's not what happened folks. Turns out that Grant with his impossibly long legs and mayonnaise hair has played a couple rounds of Freecell in his time . As a matter fact, that hiccup of a man Mike has also spent some years on the Scrabble circuit. Both men work on their puzzles to near completion while Lawyer Dave sat amongst all his pieces wondering where to begin. Lawyer Dave! Get it together, my man! I'm looking at your resume right now and it says that in addition to your many years at the Tetris Academy For The Arts you also spent some time getting your Masters at the Sor-Boggle. What is this confused slouch of a man I see before me? *sigh* Oh well, it turns out that GRANT WINS IMMUNITY!!!
Everyone returns to camp and the Omarions immediately head out into the sea for some frolicking and fun. Mike wants to crash their party because he has no friends and wasted his entire time on the island listening to that coffee table Julie talk about loyalty and shit like that. He's desperate for a hail mary and thinks stalking Rob is the best way to go about staying in the game. Lawyer Dave poo-poo's that idea and I get the impression that he might be too cool to kiss Rob's ass. Mike's not that cool. Mike'll pucker up and smooch in a heartbeat, but Dave is a little more realistic. He knows his number could be up next and he also knows that there's not much he can do about it.
Then, out of the corner of Mike's eye, he notices that the flagpole at camp has been moved. He grabs Lawyer Dave by his suit jacket and they proceed to dig for what they think might be another Hidden Immunity Idol. Rooster follows them and watches because he's like that now. He's peripheral. He's a circumference. If he knew what pi meant he'd be solving equations and shit like that. But he doesn't know what pi means. I'm not even sure he knows what pie means. It's that round thing your momma made with Fritos, ketchup and Spam, Rooster. Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees and you're all set. So anyhow, Mike and Lawyer Dave are digging up the flagpoles when Rob spots them from the beach. He reaches into his pocket, hits the "Alert" button on his remote control and all of his Fembots dutifully ran back to camp to see what was up. Phillip ran like a five year old to an ice cream truck and then splayed his body across the sand at the foot of the flagpole and declared, "Mine!" He starts to dig while Mike and Dave looked on and giggled.
Rob approaches and decides it's better to be safe than sorry so he grabs some shovels and starts digging with Phillip. You see, Rob has a little "Idol Paranoia". Those Idols have given him a hell of a time in the past and, even though he has one now, he doesn't need any surprises from anyone else in the future. He's had treatment over the years for it. He's taken his meds religiously, but sometimes, once in a while, that nagging feeling creeps into his bones and he just can't shake it. Besides, Rooster played his Idol last night so there's a very good chance that another Idol is in play right now. But before Rob can really worry about who may or may not have an Idol, he has to figure out tonight's vote. He gathers his tribe and asks them one by one who they want to vote out. Phillip says Viper, Mascaroni (Andrea) says Mike, Grant says Mike or Dave and Rob says whoever has the best chance to beat Pretty Pony at Rhode Island. With no decision made, everyone links arms and heads back to camp. Of course, because she's a royal pain in the ass, Assley whines that she has to go to the bathroom and ruins a perfectly good handholding shot of the entire tribe wandering into the distance.
This brings us to the first Tribal Council of the night. Immediately, Phillip begins to tell the tale of Jessum Harring. Jessum was a Native American soothsayer who told Phillip in a "meditation" (i.e. acid trip) that an Omarion member will live looooooong in Survivor lore. This is the end... Jessup also helped Jim Morrison write 'Riders On The Storm' and Wayne Campbell put on Waynestock. He was a renaissance man who not only peddled feathers to the mentally handicapped, but liked to show up naked in random films of the 90's. My only friend, the end. Mike then said something yawn worthy and I kind of hoped for more Jessup Harring stories. Of everything that stands, the end. Julie coughed up a belt buckle and then Lawyer Dave said that Phillip was on the bottom. I'll never look into your eyes... again. Phillip stood and proudly declared, "I enjoy being on the bottom!" And all the children are insane. At home I giggled, you giggled, we all giggled.
Dimples asked Rooster how he felt about being on the wrong side of the numbers and Rooster just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Imma gonna faght lahk tha dickens. Ah may getta faytha t'morrow. Ya nevur know." To which Phillip replied, "It takes courage, determination and knowing when to hold your tongue to get a feather."Ouchie. Rooster snickered at the thought of Phillip ever holding his tongue and then wondered if maybe tomorrow Phillip would head out to the beach and a whole bird full of feathers would fall down. Dimples leaned in with his hand under his chin and just smiled. He was smitten. You could tell.
Mike addressed the feather situation by saying that Phillip was actually insecure and trying to find himself. Naturally, Phillip whipped his resume out, ran down his long list of (imaginary) accomplishments and pulled out his girl scout sash plum full of patches. You can't argue with a girl scout sash. You just can't. That Phillip Sheppard can sell more Do-Si-Do's than you ever dreamed of selling so don't get it twisted. Laywer Dave doubts Phillip's cookie selling abilities and calls him out for being a lunatic. Phillip mumbled something about a cesspool and The Cuddler (Steve) cried for his mommy. Alright, enough of this. Vote, vote, vote. Later Mike. You won't be missed. You were a big suckfest of boring.
Back at Murlonio, Rob is knighting one Mr. Phillip Sheppard for being such a loyal and devout soldier. He assures his comrade that he is not at the bottom of tribal importance and, in private, tells us that, as a matter of fact, Phillip is in his final three. To have the patience to deal with Phillip day in and day out and be a willing participant in his crazy time games takes a certain level of patience that I just do not have. That's probably why I'd never win Survivor. The first people to go home would be the assholes who snore, next would be the chicks who bug me and then the freaks who stick feathers in their hair and run around storming the beaches of Normandy. It would never occur to me to bring someone like that to the end. I mean, I get why it makes sense, but I just wouldn't have the will power to see it through. What surprises me the most is that Phillip, who is now probably highly sought after for every clinical trial in the book, knows he's going to the end because he's looney tunes. How the hell did he figure that out? I'm thinking a cameraman said something in an interview with him at some point. I refuse to believe that Phillip figured that out on his own. Maybe HQ back at Langley told him. I have no idea, but I have to get to the bottom of it.
So while Phillip was busy planning how he'll spend his million dollar winnings (cotton balls and M-80's!), Rooster was fixing to infiltrate Omarion and become a part of their world. He doesn't really have a concrete plan per se. He just wants to move his blankets over next to Rob's and see if anyone puts up a fuss. Lawyer Dave provides some free counsel and advises his client against consorting with the enemy, but Rooster's mind is made up. He's going to become a member of Omarion and he's going to do it right now daggumit. So while Phillip and Mascaroni are talking about nail polish and whatnot, Rooster slinks in, unpacks his bags and etches "RUE-STER" on the bed next to Rob's. Phillip tells him he can hang out and talk about his pigs and steers if he wants, but there's no way in hell they're talking game. Then Phillip took Ralph's things and threw it back over the line he drew in the sand delineating which side of camp was Zappa and which side of camp was Omarion. Zappas can cross the line to come and visit, but at the end of the day they have to go back from whence they came. They don't have to go home. They just can't stay in Omarionland. Besides, Phillip arms the pylons at night and the last thing you want is to get shocked by one of those bitches.
Whoosh! Sploosh! Kerplop! We now arrive at the second Immunity Challenge of the night. As soon as the Survivors arrive, they lay their eyes on a giant mountain of cheeseurgers. Dimples assures them that each one will get a chance to enjoy the succulent meat fest, but first he must explain the challenge. Survivors will hang from a bar for 20 minutes. After that 20 minutes is up, they must hang only using their legs. Last Survivor hanging, wins. Easy. Now, each Survivor must pick a white rock and a black rock. The black rock means you want to play. The white rock means you want to be a lazy fat ass and eat a plate of cheeseburgers instead of fighting for immunity. Everyone flips their rocks and, to no one's surprise, The Cuddler and Phillip opt to eat some burgers. The Cuddler is scared of everything from lightning bugs to an unfluffy pillow while Phillip is just a douche. Survivors ready, go!
Everyone hangs while Phillip removes the bun from the burgers and shoves the whole thing in his mouth in one fell swoop. Rob, probably out of anger, loses his hat and then falls into the pool. Now he has to sit on the sidelines and watch those two losers stuff their faces. Phillip shouts nonsensical cheers to his tribemates in between bites ("Nom nom, go Andromeda! Nom nom, you're doing good Natalesca! Nom nom, keep it up Ashfreshly!") while Lawyer Dave's eyeballs get stuck in his head from rolling them so hard. Everyone, save Rob, makes it to the 20 minute mark and it's now time to hang like lemurs.
For some reason, Rooster and Lawyer Dave decide to hang one-legged. The Cuddler belches from his cheeseburger hut while Leatherface falls like a pile of suitcases into the water. Rooster begins to complain about his leg going numb while the sheer volume of Grant's head is no match for gravity and he goes tumbling into the water. Rooster falls next and now we're left with the Fembots and Lawyer Dave. Lawyer Dave scratches his ass causing Phillip to shout, "He's making minor adjustments guys!" The girls giggle and Phillip keeps on keeping on, "Nom nom, Jessup Harring... nom nom nom... life is like a box of chocolates... keep going Anderoda! Way to hang Ashford and Simpson! Good job Nogerelli!" In the end, Lawyer Dave's one-legged lemur hang might not have been the best of ideas and MASCARONI WINS IMMUNITY!!!
Back at Murlonio, Phillip is inexplicably congratulating everyone INCLUDING HIMSELF for doing such a great job in the challenge. Phillip, the guy who sat there eating cheeseburgers while shouting everyone's name wrong, feels he deserves some sort of credit. Rob wasn't thrilled with performing so poorly, but he was pleased at least someone in his alliance won Immunity. The Zappas, however, were forlorn and teary-eyed. They're out of Idols, they lost the challenge and Julie is beginning to look like a raisin. Then, suddenly, a glorious beckoning call from a hillbilly god arrives on the wind like a message of hope, "We got all kinds of fish!" I swear it was the first time I ever heard Rooster speak English. He was leaping and dancing because somehow a whole mess of fish ended up in his net that was spread out onto a bunch of rocks. Now, I don't want to be a cynic or anything, but I think those fish leapt to their deaths. Was it the parasitic sea? An underground dance from an angry devil man? I do not know, but something wasn't right about the way those fish were caught. It looked occultish to me. Then again, I was Wiccan for a few years so at some point everything looks a little witchy to me.
Rob hears all the hubbub on the beach and emerges from his resting spot to see what's going on. Rooster and Julie were skipping around the beach gathering fish while Rob takes one, knocks it's rock hard head against the ground and declares, "You can't eat those. Rigor mortis has already set in." Rooster replies, "It won't hurt 'em!" LOL Of course it won't hurt them. They're dead! Rob refuses to eat the dead fish as I guess he prefers live ones??? I'm not a fisherwoman, but don't fish die all the time when you catch them? I can see if the fish were maybe sitting there for a week or something, but I think those fish died that day. I don't know. It was all very... fishy. Basketball faced Julie thinks Rob is just jealous he didn't catch the fish himself. Meanwhile, Rob gathers up his Fembots, locks them in their Fembot cage and tells them to ignore the hunger pains that are currently eating away at their insides. Grant tries to ignore the fact that his pancreas and liver are nothing but little piles of dust, but he just can't do it. He breaks free from his cage and tries the dead fish. I wasn't so much shocked that Grant disobeyed Rob. I was more shocked with the fact that The Cuddler was eating AGAIN. He had just shoved at least 5 cheeseburgers down his throat while his tribe sweat, toiled and ended up with bow legs from hanging like fucking monkeys and there he is, Greedy McGlutterson, shoving his face full of fish. That pissed me off and it should have pissed off the Zappas too. To make matters worse, The Cuddler begins to bitch in front of everyone about not being able to sleep . Going into this next Tribal Council was a no brainer for me - get rid of The Cuddler!
Finally, we arrive at the second tribal council of the night. We start off with Phillip discussing the most glorious and beautious creation to come out of 22 seasons of Survivor. That creation is Stealf. Stealth. Stealths. No wait, Stealth-R-Us! That's it. Dry mouth syndrome. Phillip is known as The Specialist (Sharon Stone, I presume) and his job is to infiltrate and plant inceptions into the former Zippadeedooda, Zaparera, Zappadingdong, Zappa tribe. Boston Rob is The Mentalist (Simon Baker) and he solves crimes by pretending to be a psychic. Then there's Grant, the destroyer of aspirations. AKA, The Assasin. Grant apparently sucks your dreams from you as you sleep. Let's hope he doesn't get anywhere near Pretty Pony. Last, and certainly least, are the Three Degrees. I think they're like the Pointer Sisters, but I'm not sure. They sing back up in this menagerie of crazy and they're so excited, they just can't hide it.
Well, Dimples is certainly enamored with Stealth-R-Us, but Rooster is not. Rooster wonders if Jessum whateverhisnameis told Phillip to sit out the challenge and eat cheeseburgers all day long. Phillip refuses to apologize while The Cuddler shrugs his shoulders and says the challenge just wasn't "his thing". Oh really? What is your thing, precious? A hot buttered scone and a piping hot cup of tea? A blueberry muffin? Some chocolate chip pancakes? Oh shut up and go take a bubble bath.
The talk turns to how the Zappas can really do nothing other than sit and wait to be picked off one by one. Lawyer Dave argues that maybe it's not so bad to go now. Maybe the odds of surviving on Rhode Island are a little better than surviving back at Murlonio. Good point. And that's why I like Lawyer Dave. He's always thinking. What I like doesn't matter though. I also liked Kristina and look where she is - home sharpening her fangs and studying hard so she can sue someone (hopefully not me for that last sentence). What I like never matters as Lawyer Dave is the tenth Survivor: Redemption Island. I know I definitely want Dave to kick Mike's ass at Rhode Island, but I'm iffy as to whether or not I want him to beat Pretty Pony. I think I do. Let me pray on it some more. Where did I put my cauldron?
So, what did you think about last night's episode? Do you like the double eliminations? Is the only drama we're going to get this season from Phillip's nutball soliloquies? Would you have eaten the fish? Comment it out bitches and have a great day!

Heres to a healthy new year. What can you do to enhance the good things you already do? Focusing on small steps and improvements provides a greater chance for success. I suggest a couple of health items to start the year off.
January is Radon Awareness Month. I encourage you to check your home for presence of radon the second-leading cause of lung cancer. A simple three-day screening lets you know that your level is below 4 picocuries per liter. In our community, levels have ranged from 1 up to over 300 pCi/L. To learn more about radon in our community and your home, attend the free presentation at 5:30 p.m. Jan. 16 in the Animas Room of the La Plata County Fairgrounds, where you can obtain the necessary screening kit (very limited availability).
What do you know about women and cardiovascular disease? This includes diseases of the heart as well as vascular such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, peripheral artery disease, ischemic attack, myocardial infarction to name a few. In 2003, the American Heart Association found that only 46 percent of women older than 25 correctly identified heart disease as the leading cause of death in women. Though heart attacks and strokes have decreased over the last few years (more for males than females) it still accounts for almost one-third of all deaths for women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The mortality rate for cardiovascular disease-related illnesses for women is 15 percent greater than mortality for all cancers, according to the Colorado Department of Health.
This problem is compounded by the fact that cardiovascular disease presents with different symptoms than men, and can be ignored or misdiagnosed.
What are the risk factors? What is your risk of having a heart attack in the next 10 years? Check out the American Heart Association Heart Attack Risk Assessment online as well as Women Heart Prevention and Early Detection websites.
Join us for Strong Women Healthy Hearts a 12-week class to help you with changes that improve your health and decrease the risk factors. Last year, participants experienced weight loss, decreased body mass index, lowered blood pressure and lowered cholesterol levels while having fun at the one-hour meeting twice a week. The diet recommendations and physical activity are geared for prevention of heart disease, but make a significant difference in overall health recommendations.
During the 12-week course, participants have the time to learn how to incorporate current recommendations to prevent cardiovascular disease. Psychologists tell us it takes at least two months for changes to cement behaviors. During the course, we will also invite guest speaker specialists for additional material. The course includes a great deal of information for:
Lifestyle changes to help manage blood pressure through weight control, increased physical activity, alcohol moderation, ways to decrease sodium intake to 2,000 milligrams/day and ideas for eating appropriate fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products;
Physical activity for women who need to lose weight and to sustain weight loss;
Ideas to reduce saturated-fat intake to less than 7 to 10 percent of intake;
Recommended supplements and dosage.
Small daily changes will make long-term quality of life changes.

For me, make it a duck hunt
From time to time, folks have asked what my favorite type of hunting is. Such a question does require some deep thinking. The only hunting that I did not enjoy was when I was first taken out snipe hunting at night.
Coming back to reality, I have always had wing shooting with ducks, geese and doves at the top of the list. Even quail and jacksnipe are great challenges, but at the very top is duck hunting.
Once a person has experienced the thrill of putting out decoys before daylight and then hiding in a prebuilt blind or just the natural vegetation, little else compares. Add to that the inspiring use of a duck call to entice the wary birds to come in. There is just something about having those ducks that have migrated so many miles appear so near. It's unexplainable. It's like the potato chip advertisement — you can't duck hunt just once.
There are many different species of ducks that migrate into our area, but they fall into one of two categories. There are what we call puddle ducks, and the others are called diving ducks. These categories indicate the type of terrain that they prefer to feed in. The puddle ducks would include, but not be limited to, mottled ducks, mallards, pintails, spoonbills, wood ducks and teal. Diving ducks would be redheads, canvasbacks, scaup, widgeon, bluebills, ringnecks and several other lesser sought after species. The gadwall can be found in both the shallow marshes and the open ponds. Whenever you decide to head out on a duck hunt, it is important to have an idea in mind about what type birds you are going after.
Although all of the species are a challenge to hunt, my choice are the puddle ducks. They are, in some instances, a little more difficult to go after, but most folks agree that they are the better table fare.
Unless you are hunting with an outfitter, it is necessary to walk into the hunting area. The walk in the marsh is not for the timid. The ground amounts to rotten vegetation that is either covered or saturated with sour smelling water. The distance that must be covered will depend upon the hunting spot that you have preselected.
Walking through slush or mud in ankle to above knee deep gunk is not easy. Certainly to the avid duck hunter, the journey is worth taking.
Many times the weather is either cold and rainy, foggy or warm. The latter will also be accompanied by hordes of mosquitoes, deer flies and gnats. With the modern repellants, these are really not a serious problem. At least they don't deter a really dedicated duck hunter.
Whether or not to use a retriever is the hunter's choice. In my opinion, there is no better hunting partner than a well-trained retriever. They are great company and they handle the chore of retrieving the downed ducks. Very few, if any, ducks are lost when a retriever is used.
Finally the work is done and it is nearing sunrise. There are the sounds of ducks flying overhead. Their wings whistle, the sounds of duck talk is all around, and all of the effort put forth to be there has been forgotten. The important thing is that you are there and ready to ply your skills with the scattergun. There is always the vision of pot roast, baked duck or gumbo lingering in my mind.
Hunting ducks in deeper open water areas is also a great way to enjoy an early morning. The hunt areas may be reached by boat or by some other vehicle rather than having an early morning stroll in the marsh. I highly recommend the use of a reputable outfitter. These folks will have transportation to the marshes, open ponds, and rice fields. The work of a duck hunt will have already been done. Besides, they will likely have great places for the hunt.

About this image
About this Publication TitleWar of 1812 Pension Files
The first applications were based on disability or death of a soldier. Beginning in 1871, they were based on service. A veteran's pension file typically includes his rank, place of residence, age or date of birth, and time of service. A widow's application usually includes her place of residence, her maiden name, date and place of marriage, circumstances of her husband's death, and the names of children under 16.

Rain Machine Bio (2009)
In the early part of the 20th century, the magic of "rainmaking" was a favorite trick of traveling showman journeying westward through new territories. That lasted until The Great Dust Bowl Drought hit the mid-west in the 1930s and people saw these slick-talking hucksters as the snake-oil salesmen that they really were. A decade later, Austrian psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich created his own rain machine, a contraption he called a "cloudbuster" that was made only of metal pipes and cables, that supposedly altered the energy of clouds as a way to induce rain. Reich was regarded mostly as a crackpot; and he was jailed in 1956 and died less than a year later. In cinema and comic books, many villains often yearn for a rain machine, seeing the manipulation of the weather as a primary instrument of evil. In today's world, the decade of the oughts, several rappers claim to "make it rain." In actuality, they do not.
The RAIN MACHINE discussed here, though, is neither snake-oil nor cash money precipitation, but rather the debut album from Kyp Malone, singer and guitarist of TV On The Radio. Over the last six years, many words have been used to capture the Brooklyn-based band - experimental, dark, moody, art-rock, hipster. But TVOTR can best be described as lyrically honest, musically defiant, and generally courageous. A large part of that comes from Malone, who has helped shape the group's brilliant, singular sound, and raw, emotive lyricism as one of its primary songwriters.
Malone is driven by a bare curiosity of the world and a fundamental need to make sense of it all, and the observations and understanding of that information around him that seed his music and words, sometimes self-consciously, will feel familiar to those fans of TV On The Radio (not to mention, his distorted, ranging falsetto). But RAIN MACHINE also stretches beyond the usual palette Malone has ever used before, weaving together everything from jazz-fusion to achy blues to afro-beat in its expression. Malone describes RAIN MACHINE as a "nearly full spectrum of frequencies audible to the human ear, a reflection of a variety of emotions and situations real and imagined. Some rhythm, some rhyme."
And yet, the project is more than that. RAIN MACHINE captures a moment of an artist fully coming into his own as a solo artist. It's a funny thing to say about someone who has recorded three full-length albums and toured the world with one of rock's most acclaimed outfits. Malone has always found time for his own music projects. He regularly plays around New York City under his own name. He is also a part of the group Iran, with Aaron Aites, that has released three albums thus far. And Malone often lends his talents to fellow Brooklyn friends, like Miles Anthony Benjamin Robinson and Holly Miranda. But RAIN MACHINE is an extraordinary set of songs, unafraid of its own openness and vulnerability, of its own explorations to sometimes unanswerable questions.
"I feel like if I were to sit down and analyze the majority of songs I've written or co-written, with TV On The Radio or otherwise, there's a lot of my world in it," says Malone. "You see what's around you and you take it all in. Stuff that has happened to you, that you've been a part of, situations that you've observed that arise with friends and family and even the periphery, of what's being said to you through the computer or the television. You take all that in, and then when you write, it all comes out. I don't really know how to delineate where one thing starts and one thing ends."
This process can be heard on the song, "Give Blood," which finds Malone openly questioning the artistic process, and his role of being in the business of music. Against his own angled guitars and zig-zagging bass-line, Malone sings, "They want ya to give it up for free / And why you comply is beyond reason / And if you think sweat's the only thing they're looking for / Better check for leaches."
"It's a song in part about performance and the perception of the spectator and the person giving the performance," he explains. "The barrier that exists, it's part of how I've been making a living for the last half decade but I don't think that it necessarily serves music. And when you play the same thing over and over again, you try to maintain a certain level of energy and engagement which is unsustainable. A facade starts to develop, a show, and you start to question the honesty of that, and why you're doing what you're doing."
Sometimes, on songs like "Smiling Black Faces," Malone is describing the feeling of what he sees out in the world, referencing "bodies strung like tanning hides," and the headline-grabbing murder of Sean Bell, by off-duty New York police. Malone's shrieking vocals are contrasted on the track by a dance-worthy, near-jubilant bass-line, provoking anyone who listens to contemplate the message.
The freedom of writing on his own is apparent, and Malone recognizes that RAIN MACHINE allowed him to venture far. "If I'm writing with a group of people or another person, even if I wrote the song, I know it may be attributed to someone else. It's reflective of something more than yourself, so I may touch on something more politely. But there's a different freedom that comes with doing something by yourself, and I think this album reflects that."
Musically, too, Malone explores many sounds and styles that he hadn't yet shared with the public. "New Last Name," is built on a vibrant mix of guitars and percussion, and feels almost delicate coming out of the speakers. On some of the albums instrumental interludes Malone invokes a bluegrass vibe, carefully plucking his guitar strings, while "Winter Song" feels like the kind of song Malone would sing around a campfire.
Malone played nearly all the instruments on RAIN MACHINE, and it was produced by Ian Brennan (Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Jonathan Richman, Lucinda Williams). It was recorded in the summer of 2008, in Berkeley and Los Angeles, and finished in December back in Malone's hometown of Brooklyn. "I talked with Ian about doing it outside of New York, for a different perspective on everything," Malone explains. "And I didn't want to just do it in one place but a few." Having lived in San Francisco in the 1990s, Malone's return to record the first songs of RAIN MACHINE in the Bay Area was a way of going back to his early days as a musician. "There's a unique spirit and energy there that I haven't found anywhere else. It's really a special place for me. I wanted to see what it would be like now, writing and playing there."
Malone had been writing and recording songs by himself since moving to New York in 2000, and it was only a couple of years later that he would join TV On The Radio with two other musicians in the neighborhood, Tunde Adebimpe and Dave Sitek. Some of the songs on RAIN MACHINE date back as far as 2004, when TVOTR was writing and recording its debut album, Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes, but most of them were written last summer in the studio. "I have a lot of songs that I've written from that time, but I wanted a lot of this project to be representative of where I'm at right now, by a matter of degrees."
As for the title of the album, of the project, Malone says it refers to a dream that his manager had. "I'm not sure what her subconscious was trying to tell her with the dream but the idea of a rain machine resonated with me in relation to the songs. Take rain, it's elemental, natural. While machine usually evokes the man made, but a synergy is possible. A tree, a river, an oceanside mountain range are all rain machines," he says. "So the name RAIN MACHINE seemed like a good fit."

The words May and June are easier to rhyme. But November has inspired its share of poetry, including children's poems by J. Patrick Lewis and John Updike that build toward a Thanksgiving meal.
Lewis celebrates the joys of the month in "November," a 16-line rhyming poem collected in Thanksgiving: Stories and Poems (HarperCollins, 1989, ages 7 and up), edited by Caroline Feller Bauer and illustrated by Nadine Bernard Westcott. He writes of pumpkin pies, "the thank-you bird" and other seasonal pleasures:
Red squirrels, busy packing
Oak cupboards for weeks,
Still rattle the branches
With seeds in their cheeks.
The meaning of that quatrain is clearer than the first lines of the poem: "The bottoms of autumn / Wear diamonds of frost." Are the lines talking about part of the natural landscape, such as the low areas next to rivers known as "bottoms"? Or are they referring to the patterns left on our clothes when we sit on frost-covered park benches?
John Updike's more eloquent "November" is among the 12 poems, one for each month, collected in A Child's Calendar (Holiday House, 32 pp., $6.99, paperback, ages 4 and up), a Caldecott Honor book beautifully illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman. His "November" is a quiet poem, written in iambic meter – the closest to natural speech – instead of high-stepping anapests and dactyls. But it's so thoughtful, you wish it were also available in a chapter-book format, too. Updike's "November" describes a region — it looks like northern New England — that by Thanksgiving has lost more than the leaves on the maples and the birds in the air: "And yet the world, / Nevertheless, / Displays a certain / Loveliness."
Updike suggests that in the barren trees of November, we see the world exposed to the bone, the way God must "see our souls" – an extraordinary subtle idea compared with so much of the pap that publishers fling at 4-to-8-year-olds. Older children – who might see more of the layers in his poem — might snub it because it appears in a picture book. Teenagers would have another reason to give thanks if Updike produced a young-adult book that combined all the poems in A Child's Calendar with those in his earlier collections.

Comfort and Style for a Rustic Mountain Home
Designer Jan Showers infuses her Colorado home with her signature style
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 18
Don't even think about labeling Dallas designer Jan Showers. Even though eight years ago, she introduced Texas to the now-scalding-hot 1930s and '40s French Moderne furniture that stars even in her own showroom, she shudders at being branded a French Modernist. "I'm not a purist. What I love best about this furniture is how easy it is to mix with other styles and periods."
That mix snagged the eye of another Dallasite when she and her husband were ready to build their Colorado vacation house. Showers says the woman "had seen a ranch I had just completed outside of Dallas for her best friend. She wanted the look for their new house at Beaver Creek."
Good thing, because Showers was quick to tell her prospective client that she was definitely "not in favor of doing anything typical of Colorado style, with antlers and horns." The homeowner sighed in relief.
However, with its stone exterior and fireplace and exposed beams on vaulted ceilings, the architecture does nod to the region's ubiquitous Southwestern-Alpine style. But by getting involved before construction was finished, Showers was able to choose all the interior finishes and rein it in a bit.
"It's definitely Colorado architecture," she says, "but with a cleaner look. There are no mountainy gimmicks going on here." For example, the wood beams and posts simply look their age: new. They're not architectural salvage, nor have they been distressed to look old. And shaved of its bark, the wood doesn't look quite so woolly and Western. Nor are the posts as likely to leave splinters should anyone lean against one of them.
But even with a tamer version of mountain architecture to appease her, Showers continued to wriggle farther out of the regional box. She crowned the chunky rock fireplace with a late-19th-century French mirror. "Its finish is dark, but the mirror is very simple," says Showers. Not unlike the stone mantelshelf just below it, which is spare of line and uncluttered by any accessories or ornamentation.
"We chose pieces that would be comfortable and appropriate for Colorado, yet would still be unexpected there," Showers explains. That entailed many 1930s and '40s French pieces, starting with the entry hall's 1940s-vintage French commode and the 1930-something, red-leather Jacques Adnet lamp that sits on top of it. An unexpected approach also meant sprinkling in other, earlier styles, such as the living room's pair of tapestry-covered, turn-of-the19th-century Art Nouveau chairs. "I'm not a special fan of Art Nouveau, but I liked these chairs," Showers says of the sleek, rolled-neck furnishings. "It is always about a mix to me. I never do any room in all one thing."
In the dining room, the mix includes 1940s French chairs, still in their original leather, and a 19th-century, Regency-style English oak buffet. In the master bedroom, the blend includes '30s French chairs covered in camel mohair, '40s French iron cigarette tables, and a 19th-century faux-bamboo armoire. Late-19th-century framed herbiers (pressed herbs) flank the armoire.
Though she never does all-of-a-kind furniture. Showers does consistently wake up spaces with texture and shape. Covered in a fine but forgiving rusty-hued mohair and detailed with nailhead trim, the custom living room sofa is a copy of one favored by Coco Chanel in her Paris atelier. Extra soft and roomy with a think-cushioned back and rolled arms, it's perfect for comfy lounging by the homeowners' three sons.
"We wanted this to be a family home everyone could be comfortable in," says Showers. "Yet we still wanted to give it a chic look." To dress up the sofa, she brought in shimmer with silk bolsters. "They may not be the most practical, but you can replace pillows in a couple of years if they're too fragile. It's more expensive to re-cover a sofa." Underfoot, a leather-rimmed wool carpet in a pattern so subtle it's hard to discern warms up the entire conversation grouping.
The homeowners' comfort zone rests in subtle colors, but Showers loves color. "I did what I typically do in those situations: I introduce color through accessories." Bright turquoise French pottery from the '30s decorates the dining table. For more color, one need only look outside. "The whole focus of the design is the views," says Showers. Matchstick blinds cover banks of windows while still letting in maximum light.
But in the master suite, Showers cared less about preserving the vistas than covering the space in sumptuous elegance. Silk curtains puddle onto the floor at the windows, and hangings spin a cocoon around the bed. "The husband wasn't too sure about the bed curtains at first." But now he sees Showers's logic in "wanting to create a cozy, inviting space."
So with both husband and wife's blessings, the room is essentially pretty. "It has sheen," says Showers. "There is nothing wrong with having a glamorous ski lodge. Why does it always have to be bears and horns?" Like its designer, this house begs the question—and is its own reply.

Living Room & Entry
A pair of Art Nouveau chairs flanks a glass-top table custom-made to fit a narrow space in the living room. The coffee table top is a "sampler" that includes almost 100 types of marble. To the left of the door, a French Moderne commode is illuminated by a red-leather, '30s-vintage French lamp with a 19th-century shell mirror above—a microcosm of how periods and styles are mixed throughout the home.

Entry Details
A Swedish pedestal table topped with a French pottery lamp from the 1930s illustrates the designer's flair for mixing furnishings for a nontraditional aesthetic. The lamp is crowned with Jan's thin, streamlined signature lampshade.
Living Room
"With the high ceilings and beams, we needed lighting that would bring the scale of the room down to a more intimate level," says Jan Showers. She used a 1920s vintage nickel chandelier from Brussels in the living room.

Is it le-monkey or lemon-key? It's really up to you, but whenever I read it I think le-monkey. I respond to either in public.
I'm a game developer / Flash, iPhone, .Net and Web 2.0 engineer who has recently relocated to San Francisco from Chicago in June 2009. I hold a BS degree in Computer Science from the University of Iowa but I'm also 1 semester short of a BS degree in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (aka Engineering Mechanics) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where I was fortunate to have worked on a variety of cool projects including the X-391 Human Powered Helicopter contest (we built our own kiln to cure carbon fiber spars) and the Beckman Hexapod project (where I helped run stress tests as part of my senior design project) among other things.
My interests are all over the place, but I tend to be most absorbed in all things computing at the moment. I have familiarity with C/ObjC/C++/ActionScript (2.0/3.0)/Java/C#/OpenGL/ML/Prolog/Tcl and am currently doing C# web development as my day job at TownHog in addition to iPhone development and Flash game development on the side (play a few Flash games that I worked on for Orbitz: BingBing, Stacker, and Soccer).
Since I relatively new to the area, I'm always up for learning about cool things to go see and do.
My passions in the past and ongoing have included:
* dwarf fortress (puts hair on your chest!) * architecture * physics * robotics * aerodynamics/astrophysics * computer history * online communities/social networking/IRC * experimental music/MIDI/software synthesizers * art nouveau * underground comix * game development * cycling
I've also been involved with computers/electronics/BBSes/hacking ever since I can remember (Radio Shack, Edmund Scientific, American Science and Surplus, Forrest M. Mims III, Ripco, Phrack, TAP, Cdc, 2600, etc.) and have been recently working with microcontrollers (Arduino, XBee, stepper motors, etc.) while reading "Making Things Talk".
I've been on Usenet since around 1989 and EFNet since around 1991. The majority of my BBS exploration was limited to the 708 and 312 area codes during the 1980s. I feel fortunate to have been at UIUC in the early 90s where I was able to witness the birth of the WWW/Mosaic/etc. with the help of NCSA and the university.
Oh, and one of my letters (not article) to 2600 got published a long long time ago, but it is embarrassing looking back on it now. Ask me and I can dredge up the issue it was printed in.

In the end I hope to become a member of Noisebridge as soon as my finances get under control, hopefully soon.
No, I'm not a troll.

The population of Atlantic County, New Jersey broken down by age group. (FAQ)
Population Demographics
Population, household and median age statistics are based primarily on the 2000 US Census data projected forward to the present day. Some of the factors considered in this projection are:
The result is a comprehensive set of population estimates and projections which includes the knowledge of State, County, and private agencies about their detailed areas but also ensures that the total population is consistent with the Census Bureau estimates, which have proved extremely reliable over time.
Household counts and median age statistics undergo a similarly rigorous procedure.
How often is the data updated?
This content is updated every year after the release of interim statistics by the Census Bureau and other agencies. This process generally happens over the summer and is released in the fall.
The Community Educational Climate is a measure used to identify communities that are likely to have high quality schools by analyzing the social and economic conditions that are most likely lead to quality schools. Since this measure is based on the population of an entire community, it may not reflect the nature of an individual school. Below are the charts for Atlantic County New Jersey. (FAQ)
Education descriptions for zip codes and places are comprised of a combination of socio-demographic characteristics. These descriptions are not based statistically upon the performance of actual schools, programs, or colleges located in these areas.
What does "Highest Level Attained" mean?
This value indicates the percent of the population over the age of 15 at each maximum attainment level.
A maximum attainment level = the point at which the individual stopped their education.
Example: If someone goes to 1 year of college, their maximum level would be "Some College." This person is only counted toward this single attainment level.

The Crime Index suggests the risk of certain types of crime occurring in this community as compared to the national average. The national average for each type of crime equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average. Below is the Crime Index for Atlantic County New Jersey. (FAQ)
Crime Risk
Crime Risk is defined as the chance that a crime will be committed against your person or property when compared against every other ZIP code in the United States. This is not a count of the actual incidence of crime in an area. Risk indexes are useful in that they level the playing field in terms of the size of the location and the number of persons living in it.
For example, large cities will have a higher number of crimes in total than small towns. A simple reporting of the number of crimes in both places would not give you an accurate picture of their relative safety. However, by comparing the risk index values of several locations of interest you can quickly see, regardless of location size, how they compare in terms of actual risk of future crime.
OnBoard uses sophisticated statistical modeling methods based upon industry best practices in order to provide Crime Risk data. As with all statistics, there is a lag between collection and distribution from government sources.
What is a "100 base" index?
The crime index is based upon a national average = 100. This means that places at or around an index value of 100 have approximately "average" crime risk for the US.
It should be noted that "average" risk is actually an indication of very low crime. Consider where you live, and cities you have visited, against how safe you felt or the number of times you have had a crime committed against you. Most people are not constantly in fear of being robbed or murdered. It is only in the places that have extremely high crime that one would generally feel unsafe.
What would be a typical "city" or "country" crime risk?
As one might expect, crime risk is generally higher in urban environments. As a general rule of thumb, a typical densely populated urban areas might have twice the national average crime risk (200), while sparsely populated rural area might have half the national crime risk (50).
But I live in a very safe neighborhood. Why is the crime risk so high?
There are several factors that might contribute to this:
What are the sources for this data?
The risk index is based on extensive statistical analysis of the most recent several years of crime reports from the vast majority of enforcement jurisdictions nationwide. The primary historical source for this information is the FBI's Uniform Crime Report (UCR). Each year the FBI collects crime statistics for over 16,000 city, county and state law enforcement jurisdictions. Jurisdictional participation exceeds 95% annually. The current sources are the six most recent full UCRs as well as the two recent preliminary reports released by the FBI. Additional sources include local and regional law enforcement offices.
As with most governmental sources, the UCR report lags present day by two to three years. There may have been significant increases or decreases in crime risk in the intervening period. We encourage you to consult with a knowledgeable local Real Estate agent or contact the local police department for additional information.
How is the index actually calculated?
Extensive statistical modeling was used to account for the general overall decline in crime throughout the US, eliminate local anomalies, and incorporate additional locally reported crime statistics. Thus, while crime has decreased nationally, our average crime risk remains 100, and areas that have seen crime declines equivalent to the national decline will not see changes in their relative risk rates.
Each of the seven crime types is modeled independently and different models exist for the seven geographic regions of the US. These models were applied to a fine level of geography (census block groups) and then modeled up to the zip code, place and county levels. These results were then weighted by population, aggregated to the national total, and then scaled to match the preliminary FBI crime estimates for the most recently available year.
