Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- 6 soft-shell crabs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
Step 1
Rinse crabs under cold running water; brush them with a small brush if necessary to remove any dirt from their shells. Twist off and discard apron. Fold back the pointed sides of the top shell to expose gills; remove gills on both sides. Using kitchen scissors, cut across the front of the crab about 1/4-inch behind the eyes and mouth; squeeze out the small sac located directly behind the mouth.
Step 2
Preheat a grill with the lid down or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Brush crabs with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place crabs on grill and cover. Cook, turning crabs every couple minutes and basting them with remaining olive oil, until they turn orange and are cooked through, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove from grill and serve immediately.

At the heart of a bizarre planet lay the goal of every being that had ever lived.…
Below average in height and unprepossessing in appearance, Nathan Brazil is an unassuming if cynical starship owner, carrying passengers and cargo for a living - hardly the sort of person to hold the fate of the entire universe in his hands.
But when Nathan detours from his route to answer a distress call, a hidden stargate hurls him and his passengers to the Well World, the master control planet for the cosmos. Billions of years ago, a godlike race unlocked all the secrets of space and time and remade the universe according to their grand design. Then they vanished and left behind the Well World to maintain the pattern of the universe.
Now someone is searching for the planet's hidden control room - the Well of Souls - to seize control of the cosmos. Nathan must stop them, but this planet causes bizarre metamorphoses in visitors, changing them into centaurs, mermaids, and giant insects seemingly at random. As a result, Nathan no longer recognizes his friends, let alone his unknown enemies. His task seems hopeless - until his long-suppressed memories begin to return and he realizes who he really is.

"A big, bold book that takes traditional science fiction and turns it upside down!" (Leigh Brackett, science fiction author and screenwriter on The Empire Strikes Back)
"Step Through The Portal, And Be Changed Forever!"
It's been a while since I've penned a review - So much listening, and so little time.
However, I'm ready to begin another series of reviews on Audible scifi/fantasy selections.
So, let's begin with Jack L. Chalker's "Midnight At The Well Of Souls."
Why is this audiobook first? Simple. It's the beginning of a FANTASTIC series that will captivate you with a rich, rewarding listen, and have you wanting the next in the series, Exiles at the Well of Souls, which is also available.
This is the opening book for a VERY powerful series, one that pushes the boundaries of typical science fiction as you know it. Imagine, if you will...
The Well World: A world created by a long-vanished race, covered in vast, country-sized hexes, each housing a different intelligent alien species. Crossing the boundaries of the hexes can change the very air you breathe, the laws of physics, technology and even magic. Each hex represents the birthplace of that species, and some are at war with others. They can take over other hexes, enslave an adjacent hex's species, and can even forcibly swap hexes with another race. Creatures of myth, fantasy and nightmare vie for control of a planet they cannot leave, but can eventually rule. Even mankind occupies a hex on this planet.
One half of the planet houses carbon-based hexes, the other half alarmingly alien hexes, and each hex is the birthplace for these races and their migration into the universe eons ago. This world is countless light years away from our own, unknown, hidden and waiting for an opportunity to rewrite the universe to its own making.
The story begins with a host of human castaways that accidentally travel to the Well World, and are each randomly changed to a new species in different hexes.
It is all part of a very large story that will soar across the surface of the Well World in its telling, as many races and hexes to vie for a rare and valuable treasure that can change the Well World and our universe forever!
Despite all this, I haven't given away any spoilers whatsoever!
Chalker's Midnight At The Well Of Souls was so well received when it was first published, that he went on to write many more novels to expand the stories both upon the Well World, and even light years beyond it. Be careful, Audible listener. Once you travel down this wonderful rabbit hole, you might very well not turn back! It truly is that amazing.
So, step through the portal, human, and be changed forever!
"Finally! Chalker's Best Series!"
This is the first book in a wonderfully imaginative series that takes me back to my early teenage years when I first discovered it. Chalker creates a weird and detailed setting for the novel and the characters are memorable. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys intelligent science fiction stories.
Sci-fi/Fantasy geek :)
"The Good, the Okay, and the Weird"
I REALLY liked this book in the beginning. I liked it pretty good in the middle. I liked it well enough to try to finish it by three quarters. I didn't really like it at the end.
Why? It's hard to say exactly, but it started out as a cool story with a interesting concept, a wide array of characters and a goodly amount of mystery. Near the end, most of the mystery was gone, the characters got stale, the story broke down, and things just went off the sci-fi rails.
Maybe it was just my mood, the phase of the moon, or maybe this review is right. In any case, it would be a worthwhile read just for the first half, very inventive! The narration is very good as well.
"Best Ever"
With the best of them.
One of the greatest Sci Fi series ever written. Years scince I have read them and still as good as ever - can't wait for the rest of the series to be on Audible. Great narrator hope he stays on for the rest of them.
No but will be looking him up to see what else he has read.
The grandest concept in sci fi for years - totally unique.
"Very Happy"
This is the first book in the Well World series and has always been one of my favorites
He does a great job of bringing the most out of the individual characters.
I'm so happy that Audible has decided to do the Well World series. I wrote about a year ago suggesting these books and here they are.
"Doesn't hold up well in the modern era."
I loved this series back in the 80s when I was a teenager, but like so much Sci Fi from then it does not hold up well against the works of modern writers like Peter F. Hamilton, Alastair Reynolds, etc.. The world/universe is almost cartoonish and the villains rather laughable and some of the characters actions are inconsistent or unbelievable. I would call this more Science Fantasy than Science Fiction.
I'm actually listening to Exiles at Well of Souls to see if it gets any better...so far it has not.
Deep, deep, and deep!
"I'd probably have enjoyed this in the 70s"
When I was a teenager this would probably have been exciting. Not up to the standard of Larry Niven, but not bad. But I'm not 14 any more.
The story was hackneyed and the characters and the science were both laughable. Technology has moved on and left this book behind in many areas, in other ways the science is what it should be in SciFi... inexplicable.
In science fiction it is a mistake to try to explain how your science works, because your, most likely dumb, explanations don't bear any scrutiny and that breaks the scientifically inclined reader out of the story. The animal sex and the teenage boy like preoccupation with the sexual organs of anything female were really amusing in a pathetic sort of way. By the way, the bit on the outside is the vulva, the vagina is inside, and it's not a cavity, that's just a bad word for it. Did the author have no experience of anything female?
Anyway, there's a huge and nasty case of deus ex machina at the end, the sort of 'rocks fall, everybody dies' ending that authors despise.
The delivery was pretty wooden, like the reader couldn't believe he was reading this, any more than I could believe I paid money for it.
"Great Characters, Great Story"
A joyous romp.
The characters kept me interested, the description of the well world reminds me of a Dyson Sphere as I have always seen one in my head and so makes the idea plausible.
I read the well world saga in my teens and have kept copies of them around me ever since. I love the characters and the seemingly infinite forms of life the well world contains.
"Great Story, So So Performance"
First let me start by say I am a huge Jack Chalker fan and have read all of his series, and this series, at least three times. I do not believe Peter Macon was the best choice due to his deep voice and inability to change his tone a whole lot. I do think he did a good job though. The story is written in such a way that most of the time you know who is speaking, but it would have been nice to have a bit of variety with the various characters. I did still enjoy listening to it and would recomend the book.
I work full time in Financial Services, teach part time, listen to music (a lot) and love Science Fiction and Speculative Fiction.
"Surprisingly Terrific"
Really Good Sci-Fi
Hard to say...Chalkers' overall writing style was breezy, enjoyable and entertaining. The entire book is part adventure, sci-fi, fantasy and character development. I found myself getting drawn in bit by bit and didn't want it to end. Thankfully there are others in this series.
At times it was stilted...maybe the performance demanded it..overall I liked him a lot
Yes...I just never do that with audible. I usually listen to books in my car and at the gym.
I don't understand why Chalker was not more popular and well known. This writing is on par with early Asimov and the style is reminiscent of classic science fiction. This is entertaining, fast paced, and utterly enjoyable. Something that will let you relax and take you out of your every day. Loved it.
"Hmmmm, different certainly"
It started well and I was interested but then it spent so long simply describing each different realm and creature. The story then got a bit lost in the descriptions.
The narration was fine.
Maybe it improves at the end - I didn't get that far, I did try to!
It is the first audio book I gave up on at just over half way. Guess I need a bit more action!
"Finally! And gald it's unabridged"
I am already on my third listen through of the best Jack L Chalker there is! I am so glad this is unabridged. While Peter Macon does an ok but uninspiring read, the drama of Chalker's original story comes through. Picking up a mix of mythology and new creatures Chalker manages to convey the mystery of a world where every country is ruled by different sentient beings and the main characters are transformed while still reflecting their innermost beings.
I can't wait for the next installments.

Q&A: Should I dilute a bottle with water to help stop the night time feedings?
I read in a book that one way to wean a baby off a bottle feeding in the middle of the night is to dilute the bottle, for instance mixing six ounces of water with two scoops of formula to make a four-ounce bottle. The idea is to water it down so the baby will stop waking for a bottle in the night once they realize what's going on. Is there any harm in doing this?
My daughter is six months old and weighs a healthy 14 lbs. Just so I understand, if I choose to do this at night would there be any harm to her, other then getting a little extra water at feed time? What would happen to an infant if you did this at each feeding?
Thank you for your time.
The answer to your specific question of whether one diluted feed per day will harm your child's health is no, not in an otherwise healthy six-month-old. She will end up unsatisfied and her smart kidneys will rid her body of excess water.
Diluting her feeds by 50% every time is a different story. In this case, a six-month-old taking in 30 ounces per day and ordinarily getting 600 calories would only get 400 calories, a significant difference. A healthy older infant would be hungrier and adjust her appetite to take in more. A very young or sick infant who doesn't have the energy to eat that much more, or one whose kidneys can't process the excess water might end up not growing, or with a potentially dangerous salt/water imbalance.
The bigger issue is why do it at all?
Most six-month-olds demand a bottle at night, not because they need the nutrition –or even because they are hungry– but because that is the pattern they've become used to, waking and getting a bottle to get back to sleep. A better way to stop this habit is to stop the night bottle altogether. Families who don't like this more drastic method can substitute plain water in a night bottle, which will at least spare Baby's teeth from the decay brought on by bathing teeth at night in the sugars that milk contains.
Substituting another object of comfort besides the bottle, such as a 'safety' blanket or toy, for example, can help make the transition off the bottle easier.

Is Kwedit a wacky idea?
New service lets kids and others without credit spend real money in the virtual world.
Don't have a credit card? That's OK. You can use Kwedit -- essentially a promise to pay -- when you purchase virtual goods on the interwebs.
On the surface, it sounds goofy but harmless enough. So why did Stephen Colbert and personal-finance writer Kathy Kristof blast the new service? Colbert said on his show, "Instead of just having adults spend money they don't have on things they don't need, now we'll have kids spending money they don't have on products that don't exist."
He's right. Here's a brief explanation of how this new "play now, pay later" service works.
- You buy virtual goods -- food for your virtual dog at FooPets (target audience: girls 12-14), for example -- and promise to use Kwedit to pay real money for the virtual bag at a later date. (Before you scoff at this, keep in mind that buying virtual goods is a big enterprise. An estimated $1.6 billion will be spent on virtual goods this year -- and a service like Kwedit is likely to make it all the more profitable.)
- You pay by taking cash to a 7-Eleven, mailing cash or check in a prepaid envelope, or "Passing the Duck" by asking Mom and Dad or your friends to make good on your debt. (A cartoon duck appears in Kwedit's logo.)
- The amounts of Kwedit extended are initially small -- you can spend a few bucks. If you actually pay, you build a Kwedit score, and you can spend more.
- The Kwedit score is portable from game to game. Scott Sorochak, a co-founder of FooMojo, which operates FooPets, told The New York Times, "That Kwedit score will go with you, so, long run, if Kwedit is successful, that becomes the de facto virtual credit score, like Experian's and the other FICO scores."
Who'd want to use Kwedit? Answer: People who frequent these virtual games and don't have credit cards -- kids come to mind, and there's the rub for Colbert and Kristof. (The Kwedit site says you have to be at least 13 to use it, but, as Kristof points out, that's unenforceable.)
In fact, the Kwedit site touts it as a teaching tool for parents. It says that "Kwedit Promise provides a safe, virtual environment in which consumers can learn about credit and develop financial literacy -- with no real-world implications." Since what you're buying with Kwedit isn't real, no one suffers if you don't pay. (If you pay, Kwedit and its game-publishing partners make money from the sale of products that don't exist. Why didn't I think of this?!)
Also, Kristof commented at CBS MoneyWatch in a post called "How to warp your kids in one easy Web site," "Contracts are not enforceable on 9-year-olds. Eventually, if you and your parents fail to pay up, they'll just stop letting you play the game."
Danny Shader wrote a post at the Kwedit Blog in response to "The Colbert Report" (which you can view at Kristof's post). Here are some snippets from Shader:
Are we going to hook teenagers on credit by exposing them to Kwedit Promise? Again, I don't think so. We are simply enabling them -- and adults -- to make payments without plastic.
Are we trying to convince people to buy things they can't afford? No. Since we don't lend money or charge interest, we have no incentive -- nor do our merchant partners -- to extend Promises to people who can't afford to pay. We only make money when someone actually makes a payment. Our goal is to allow trustworthy people to use the system while blocking those who cannot or will not make a payment.
What about Pass the Duck? Is that a way to guilt parents into paying? No. It just makes it easy for parents to do what many already do today: Teenagers routinely ask their parents for their credit cards so they can pay for their on-line activities.
Miranda Marquit at Moolanomy found fault with such arguments:
- Kids can use Kwedit without getting the parental units involved. They just have to print out the Kwedit barcode and pay what they "owe" at the convenience store.
- Kwedit "perpetuates the idea of easy money and instant gratification," she wrote. "It's easy to get Kwedit, easy to charge, and kids don't have to save up to buy anything in the game."
Credit Karma points out another pitfall: "... the lack of real accountability to pay back these virtual loans glosses over the pitfalls of the actual credit world."
Regardless, Kwedit appears to be catching on. The NYT reported: "In addition to FooPets and Puzzle Pirates, more than 1,000 games now let players use Kwedit's arrangement with 7-Eleven as a way to pay cash for game currency, but their publishers insist that users pay before using the currency."
The CEO of 7-Eleven said he imagines the day when Kwedit can be used to pay for real stuff too.

MILWAUKEE -- Eric Gordon scored 21 points, centre Alexis Ajinca added 16, and the New Orleans Pelicans headed home for All-Star weekend with a 102-98 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night.
The Pelicans had seven players in double figures and stayed in the game despite foul trouble all night for big man Anthony Davis.
Davis ended up playing the fourth quarter with four fouls, providing enough of a presence on both ends of the floor to allow his teammates to go strong to the hoop.
The short-handed Bucks still hung around and Ersan Ilyasova's 3 with 58.7 seconds left got Milwaukee within 100-98.
After Brian Roberts missed a layup, Milwaukee had one last chance, but got tied up in the backcourt and turned the ball over with 9 seconds left.
Brandon Knight had 22 points and nine assists to lead the Bucks, limited to nine players because of a litany of injuries.
They may have missed shot-blockers Larry Sanders (eye) and John Henson (ankle) the most with the Pelicans attacking the basket late.
A layup by Tyreke Evans and soft floater in the lane by Roberts sandwiched around a missed dunk by Ilyasova gave new Orleans a 100-95 lead with 1:06 left before Ilyasova redeemed himself with a 3.
The surge by the Pelicans answered an open 3 from the corner by Nate Wolters that had drawn Milwaukee within one with about 2 minutes left.
But after getting to the hoop for much of the first half with Davis on the bench with three fouls, the Bucks had trouble getting good looks in the lane after halftime.
Ilyasova finished with 16 points and nine boards in his first game back since missing two with back spasms.
Davis finished with 12 points and Roberts had 17.
Ajinca came a point short of his career high. The 7-foot-2 centre finished 7 of 7 and stabilized the middle while Davis was on the bench.
Averaging just 4.0 points a game coming into the night, Ajinca went 4 of 4 in the Pelicans' 37-point third quarter that turned a three-point halftime deficit into a seven-point lead.
New Orleans coach Monty Williams sought a quick start on defence from his team after giving up at least 29 points in the first quarters of their two previous games, both losses. The Pelicans heeded their coach's pleas and held the Bucks to 19 points in the first quarter.
But with foul trouble plaguing Davis -- the NBA's leader in blocked shots -- the Bucks broke through early in the middle.
Nifty interior passing helped get Zaza Pachulia and Ilyasova find room to operate underneath. Knight passed up an open 3 and drove the lane to draw Davis' third foul with 6:39 left in the second quarter, just seconds after Davis had returned to floor.
Milwaukee took advantage from there and got a boost from Gary Neal on the outside with 11 first-half points to take a 49-46 lead at halftime. Neal finished with 18 for the night.
NOTES: Pelicans coach Monty Williams was 4-1 all-time against the Bucks entering Wednesday's game. ... Reserve C Greg Stiemsma is a native of Randolph, Wis., and played his college ball at Wisconsin from 2004-8. ... The Bucks were the only team that New Orleans had yet to face this season coming into the contest. ... Sanders saw a specialist for his fractured orbital bone, though Drew wasn't sure when he would return.

A 29-year-old man has admitted to setting a staircase to a Charleston apartment on fire while an acquaintance and a toddler were inside, U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin reports.
Antonio LeJune Wade, a Beckley resident, was named in a one-count federal indictment in October charging him with deliberately setting clothing that he'd placed under a wooden staircase to the Sixth Avenue apartment on fire. The staircase was the only way in and out of the residence.
Wade, who entered a guilty plea to the federal arson charge Jan. 2, had told police he knew the two were inside the apartment when he set the fire, Goodwin said.
Firefighters and police who responded to the call were able to contain the fire, and neither of the occupants was injured.
Wade faces a mandatory minimum of five years in a federal prison when he is sentenced April 2 by U.S. District Judge John T. Copenhaver Jr.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Charleston Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Blaire Malkin is handling Wade's prosecution.

On Sunday, July 22, 2001, César Lozano and Gilbert Sánchez were having dinner with family and friends at Steve's Barbeque House in a strip mall on West Washington Boulevard at Greenwood Avenue in Montebello. The restaurant is now known as La Feria.
Neither man had a criminal record or any involvement with gangs.
Just before midnight, Lozano and Sánchez were shot to death in the parking lot, one of them toward the rear of the restaurant, the other in front of it along Washington Boulevard.
Two different guns were used by two different men.
Anyone with any information about the double murders should call Detective Bob Gray at the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Homicide Bureau: 323.890.5500.

'Andre' LIVE from Rap-Up Sessions! :)
Hey guys! Check out this recent interview I did with my pals over at Idolator!
Download my labor of love, AGÁPĒ,HERE" —> http://www.audiomack.com/album/jojo/agape
My name is Joanna Noëlle Levesque and I've loved music more and longer than I've ever consistently loved anything in life. Music wakes me up and puts me to bed every single day, without fail. I obsess over it. I want to know everything about it! I want to snuggle with it at night. I want to be as close to it as friggin' possible. When I was 17, I wanted to make it official. I snuck away from the hotel room my mom and I were staying at and got a tattoo. On my ring finger on the left hand; a treble clef. BAM. To remind me not to let anything, or anyone take precendent over the perfect mate I had in music. I feel often like I'm better explaining myself through song. Better than trying to talk about it. The older I got and the more music I inhaled and was exposed to, songwriting and interpreting other people's songs became my most gratifying form of release. I felt the passion of my favorite artists coming through their records and I always wanted to emote like that. To be so powerful and connected so as to radiate such energy and truth.
I thought about naming this collection of songs "Live Free or Die" after the New Hampshire state motto (which inspired the tattoo on the back of my neck), but upon further thought, it sounded dramatic and militant and scary. And that it SO not what this is all about! Its really about friends coming together and bonding over a mutual love for music then seeing what grows out of it. Not about industry politics, agendas, empty-promises, ego, swag, pretension, or a budget of any kind.
THANK YOU for listening. You don't know what it means to me to have a platform to express myself and interact with you. Doing what I love is an honor and a privilege. One that I take to heart. Oh to be making music in the modern time…The internet has changed my life, man! Who'da thunk it. I'm thankful and more excited than ever for the future. My story is unique, confusing, and tumultuous at times. But I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Agápē Preview HERE! (Courtesy of Complex.com)
It took me 22 years to trust myself
Too many people told me to be somebody else
They said "there's two things you gotta do to succeed. 1- forget about you. 2- listen to me."
Layin' down on my hard wood floor again
Watching all of my deepest fears just crawling on the ceiling
These colonial bricks and beams are just not enough to hold me
All I got are my hopes and dreams and this raspberry stoli
Sometimes I need to paint
You could be my canvas
Sometimes I want to escape
Even though its selfish
3:30 in the morning time
Watching my lover sleep
With my heart wide open
All this racing in my mind
Thoughts of lovers lingering
And my eyes wide open
We had a meeting at the farmer's market and talked over a bottle of wine
A parliament; my cigarette, he sparked it
And I knew I was playing with fire
Man, I shouldn't have come here alone
I've been looking for love in all the wrong places
Been telling myself I'm grown
But when I look in his eyes I'm his girl and he knows it
You kiss like you love me now
You know I can't tune that out
Your frequency hits me less frequently
I have to haunt your dreams
You can't stay mad at me
Just cuz we're "supposed to be" don't mean we're gonna be
You can still break my heart even if we're only messing around
Something's different now
I'm just thinking out loud
And I try to be cool but my feelings keep pulling me down
I'm different now
I'm just thinking out loud
The way I see it," he said
"You just can't win it…
Everybody's in it for their own gain
You can't please 'em all
There's always somebody calling you down
I do my best
And I do good business
There's a lot of people asking for my time
They're trying to get ahead
They're trying to be a good friend of mine

The pallet chair build part 2 – click *HERE*
Remember my musings on my new patio project in the works? I kept my promise and whipped up a cool pallet wood chair anyone can make in a couple of hours.
This round I desired a super easy build that anyone could make. Even non builders. The building post will be tomorrow as everything in one post would have been too large… so for today, here's a little pallet wood and burlap coffee bean sack pillow eye candy!
Burlap coffee bean sacks are the perfect no sew upholstery. They act as giant pillow cases that allow for large pillows to just slip inside. For the sitting area, I just loosely tucked them in place.
I have a reason for the cheater upholstery which I'll share in part 2.
Taking advantage of all the natural crate markings on the wood, I allowed them to become the artwork. Pretty funky, huh? I vote to celebrate that it IS pallet wood.
Both arms are different which I love. I used a sign I had created on a board and just cut to size.
This leg got a little extra detail with an antique wooden level. It's the tiniest little details that you fall for.
And yeah, the board cracked because I didn't predrill. More on that in part 2.
Not wishing to obstruct the outdoor mountain view behind the chair, a pallet the same height as the railing was chosen as the backer. If one didn't love the look of a pallet backing, you could always build a little gate look which I nearly did, but decided no. This round, it was about grouping up 2 pallets intact. The oversized pillows cover it anyway!
And there you have it! A double wide sized chair. Or mini loveseat. The cool part is, the pallets you choose will determine what size you make this guy. We adore it!!

As we writers know all too well, the act of writing — novels, blog posts, journaling, whatever else — is not often done on a treadmill, or on a yoga mat, or in a pool. Perhaps that will change some day, but for now? It's pretty much a sedentary thing.
Therefore, to counteract all the chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream (with dark chocolate syrup) I've eaten lately¹, I've been trying new things. These new things include Misery (step + abs), Torture Upon Torture (pilates), and That Which Hurts My Nose More Than My Body (Latin Heat/Zumba dance class).
Today, I shall focus on That Which Hurts My Nose More Than My Body class. Here's what I learned in my first (not-completely-dreadful) attempt at it:
Lesson #1: I am a white, white girl. Don't let the freckles fool you, folks — I am a white girl by nature, and if there are two things white girls don't do well, they are rapping and…well, rapping. I was going to say dancing, too, but I'm not sure it's 100% true. Many white girls are blessed with the ability to move to music in a way that is appealing (versus stilted and awkward). I am not one of them. On a related note, don't expect a rapping/dancing rendition of TLC's "Waterfalls" from me any time in the near future. (There goes that dream…)
Lesson #2: For some reason, skeezy guys think it's okay to take video of zumba class on their iPhones, awkward white girls and all. And what's worse, the skeezy guys with the videophones? Were totally in league with staff members of my gym, two of which had the audacity to stand there and re-watch the video over and over again. And laugh. Can't say I blame them, but still. I don't know about you, but I kind of expect to go to gym class with relative safety².
Lesson #3: There's a good chance every inhale will feel as though an entire plate of beef enchiladas has sneaked its way into your lungs. I mean this in the nicest way possible, but everywhere I turned smelled like a Mexican restaurant. This makes sense, given that it's a class called Latin Heat/Zumba — and if you're a vibrant Latina vixen (like me!)(ha.) with awesome dance skillz, why wouldn't you come to show off, you know? Anyway, the smell. I don't know why it was there, but it was. Overwhelmingly. It's a wonderful, wonderful aroma, don't get me wrong — when I'm hungry for those incredible soft chicken tacos with the habanero sauce³ — but when I'm working out, breathing deeply, and generally trying to stay focused on the dance steps while ignoring the skeezy guys with their iPhones? Um. Not my idea of fresh air.
Lesson #4: It was awesome! Despite the awkwardness, the skeeziness, and the suffocation, it turned out to be a pretty fun experience. I made it through the whole class (not very gracefully, but whatever). Plus, it made me sore in a good way, and it's WAY better than the boring old treadmill. I will be going back.
Okay, that's all I've learned so far. Now, I'm off to get ready for Misery class, which starts in half an hour. Pray for my abs.
¹Which, to my credit, is not an obscene amount. It's a nice, healthy (inasmuch as ice cream can be healthy) amount, and not something I indulge in too terribly often, but those things add up when you sit all day.
²(i.e. assurance that skeezy dudes with iPhones are not going to be focusing their cameras on my lackluster attempts toward fitness and coordination)
³Yet another reason I'm trying the class in the first place…

I went to Pisac today, which is a town about 16 miles from Cusco. Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, there's a huge open air market there, as well as these incredible old terraces. The guidebook also mentioned something called the 'Castille de Cuy,' or Castle of the Guinea Pigs, which to this day remains shrouded in mystery.
After school got out, I went looking for a bus that would head to Pisac, but when I got to the bus stop, a woman told me that I was better off taking a taxi, so I grabbed a taxi and bargained the price down with him to about 25 soles ($8). Then off we went. The trip there takes about 40 minutes, and goes all over the mountains and valleys in the area. I saw two types of llamas, llamas, and Alpacas (There are 4 types of camelids in south america: Llamas, Alpacas, Vicunas, and guanacos) I hope to see all four types while I'm here. I also saw all kinds of pigs, cows, sheep, oxen, and dogs.
On the way there, we had a flat tire. The driver drove for a couple of miles on the flat(whu-whumph, whu-whumph), and then said we should probably change it. His spare was also flat as all hell. We limped the last couple of miles onto town, and bade a fond farewell at a repair shop. Then I walked into town.
The center of Pisac is devoted to the market. There are row after row of booths with colorful alpaca clothing hanging up, bizarre carved animals, bowls, and people (some of which are doing excitingly lewd things), food, herbs, blankets, coins, ...you get the picture. It's much cheaper than any place in cusco, so I figured it was as good a time as any to start shopping for friends, relatives, and myself. The first thing someone told me was that the sweater I had bought in cusco(after being assured that it was alpaca) was acrylic. EIT. Caveat emptor, I guess. Or Emptor should know what alpaca feels like before he buys a sweater. Unpeturbed, I haggled and bargained my way through the market, entertaining myself and vendors with long (fake) stories of friends who told me that this market was cheaper than the one in cusco, and how I hate to go back to them and tell them that they were wrong, and that the prices here are astronomically expensive(unless you knock 15 soles off that blanket, senor). Anyway, it was fun, and I bought lots of stuff and had fun lying in spanish.
After an hour or so of shlepping around the Mercado, I went hiking up near the terraces in the mountains outside of Pisac. I started walking up the terraces, which is about a 90 minute walk to the top, and realized that the only thing at the top is the top-there's no good view of the terraces, since you're looking straight down, so I veered off on a side trail and started walking along a moutain face. After a mile of so, I was about 500 feet over Pisac, and had some incredible views. The mountains here are some of the most incredible, formidable, terrifying places I have ever been. The mountainsides are ridiculously steep, at something like a 70 degree angle. The paths are about a foot wide and rocky. And on top of it, the hills are filled with spiky 'unfriendly plants,' big honkin rocks, and all kinds of cactii. Of course, I love it. On my way down, I ran into an indian who was up there, who gave me some coca leaves to chew, and we talked in a mix of limited english and (very) limited quechua. I'm kind of interested in learning quechua. It's a very cool sounding language. The recurring theme is the word 'chock'. The street I live on is called Choquechaca, which (I got a quechua-spanish dictionary) could conceivably translate to 'the place where I throw up.'
My english is kind of deteriorating, albeit slowly. While writing this, I've corrected a ton of mistakes where I type in a homophone. I guess after a week of not seeing written english, you start to forget how to write.
Tomorrow I'm going to Arequipa, home of the Colca Canyon, one of the deepest canyons in the world. I should see tons of condors, and possibly the other two types of llama. It's about a 9 hour busride, so I'll get there late tomorrow night, find a hostel, and then spend the weekend checking out the coolness and hiking around con mis amigos. Cool stuff
I never found out what the guinea pig castle was. I guess I'll have to go back. Getting back to cusco from pisac, by the way, was fun. These old, dirty buses roll into the main square in Pisac, and hundreds of people rush to the bus to try to get a seat. I missed the first one but caught another one a few seconds later. The bus costs 2 soles, or about 60 cents. It stayed in first gear the whole time, and went about 15 miles an hour, possibly to be as easy as possible on the engine?
While I've been writing this, I heard a spanish pop cover of 'If I was a rich man,' from Fiddler on the Roof. With Synth background and a nice popppy beat. Yesterday I heard the Cranberries in spanish, which was also odd. It's just getting dark as I'm writing this, at 6:45. I'm going to go and pick up some huevos, queso, and pan at a mercado on my street and make myself dinner. Buenos Noches.

Australian Comedian Jim Jeffries Lands LEGIT Pilot at FX
This guy's Alcoholicaust special on HBO is pretty funny. I look forward to this. Keep up the good work Fx.Quote:
With Louis CK, one of the finest comedians working today, finding success with his fantastic series Louie on FX, another great comedian is looking to follow in his footsteps. Deadline has word that the cable network has just given the greenlight to a pilot called Legit, a potential new series starring Australian comedian Jim Jeffries. The show will follow a misanthrope (Jeffries) trying to go legit. Apparently the comedian had a show in development at Comedy Central last year about his life in the United States but that never got off the ground. Peter O'Fallon, a TV director and producer behind such series as The Riches and House M.D. will executive produce the new series.
Jeffries' brash, vulgar and even bleak comedic stylings are along the same lines of honesty and grittiness of Louis CK, so I think this new series will fit in perfectly on FX. The network has really taken off with their original programming, and if they keep bringing truly unique and edgy series like this to life, then they should have plenty of success to come. If you're unfamiliar with Jeffries as a comedian, we've included some of his bits after the jump, but be advised that the language is very NSFW.
Great read! Denis O'Hare is quickly becoming one of my favorites out there right now. I hated this past season of True Blood, so much of it was so stupid. I was ready to completely write it off until the quivering lip took the shotgun blast to the head and then I saw that hole in the parking garage. I actually applauded and screamed "RUSSELL'S BACK!" He's just so enjoyable to watch no matter what kind of character he's playing. He crosses that line of normal to creepy so easily.
Looking forward to the 2nd episode of AHS tonight!
So I re-watched the pilot last night with BoobyTrap and I caught a couple of homages/references and was wondering if any of you had seen any other ones?
-During the scene where the troubled kid is shown walking through a school hall with the skull makeup on his face, the music from Twisted Nerve (also used in Kill Bill) is played.
-During the scene in which the one guy burns his family (and self), music from Hitchcock's Vertigo is playing. I had recognized the music the first time I saw it, but couldn't remember where from. BoobyTrap told me it was Vertigo (and she would know).
-At the beginning, when the two ginger kids die in the basement and just as the one is about to scream, they cut to a shot outside the house with the little down syndrome girl looking at the house and the camera pulling away. That's a bit straight out of the Korean film A Tale Of Two Sisters.
Anybody else catch anything?

Don't forget this great show.Quote:
Every hero needs a villain, and Justified's Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) is about to get two. Neal McDonough (Captain America: The First Avenger) and Mykelti Williamson (Bubba from Forrest Gump) have been cast as the baddies in the contemporary Western's third season, which kicks off January 2012. McDonough will play well-dressed Detroit gangster Quarles, who intends to become the new crimelord in town, while Williamson will play Limehouse, a Harlan County man who wants to protect his land at any cost.
I read someone else mention these:
The bone wind chimes at the very beginning being straight out of Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

So... thoughts on episode 2?
I liked it, though I thought the use of the music from Psycho distracting (even though it's really good, effective music).
FX Developing SCAR TISSUE and THE AMERICANS Series
Ok, not automatically appealing, but it's Fx so I will trust in them.Quote:
FX is currently in the midst of developing two new projects. The first of which is called Scar Tissue, and is based on the autobiography of Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis. The project was originally set up at HBO, but now The Wrap reports that FX is taking on the drama. Entourage executive producers Mike Benson and Marc Abrams will executive produce alongside Kiedis and Jason Weinberg. FX is also developing a project called The Americans, which centers on a group of Russian spies living in America in the 1980s. Graham Yost, the creator/writer/executive producer of the FX drama Justified is producing alongside Falling Skies executive producers Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey, with Joe Weisberg (also from Falling Skies) writing and executive producing as well.
BTW just rewatched first episode of American Horror Story(was 'tired' when I first watched)...anyway, what a great show. Jessica Lange chewing scenery like a pro. I really want this show to last, it's so nice and icky.

SELLERSBURG, Ind. (WHAS11) -- A former Ivy Tech instructor is accused of bilking one of his students out of $2000 in a phony investment scheme, and prosecutors are encouraging any other possible victims to come forward.
Floyd "Buck" Skirvin, 49, is charged with forgery, theft and check fraud. The Clark County Prosecutor's office says it has sworn a warrant for his arrest.
In a statement to police, Skirvin said he was holding the student's money until the student returned tools he borrowed.
An Ivy Tech spokeswoman said the community college would have no comment on the matter, only confirming that Skirvin was no longer an instructor at the Sellersburg campus, where he taught HVAC classes from September 1, 2011 until July 9, 2012, three days after a 19-year-old student filed a police report.
In the complaint filed with Jeffersonville police, the student, Ronald Jenkins, said Skirvin approached him in March, during break times of regularly scheduled classes with a proposition to invest money, telling Jenkins that he had earned hundreds of thousands of dollars through eTrade
online investments.
Jenkins said he gave Skirvin a total of $2000, but later became suspicious and asked for the money back. Instead, Jenkins claims that Scirvin gave him a check for $50,000, but police later concluded that Skirvin had immediately placed a stop payment order on the check.
According to a probable cause affadavit, Skirvin told police that Jenkins initiated the request for Skirvin to set up the investment account, yet admitted that he never set up the account, despite accepting $2000 from Jenkins in two $1000 payments.
In his statement to police, Skirvin also admitted to showing Jenkins a fictitious eTrade account that showed a gain of $3,231.49 after Jenkins' initial $1000 investment.
Skirvin told police that he wrote the $50,000 check for "good faith funds," but did not date the check and advised Jenkins not to cash the check until he made the funds available.
WHAS11 News has learned that Skirvin was jailed twice in Marion County, Indiana on felony theft and larceny charges in 2010 and 2011.

You can then access all of your files on any computer or cell phone (via the IPhone or Android app). You can also share folders or files with others so everyone can see and edit the same file saving you a LOT of needless time emailing files back and forth and saving mutlitple versions of the same files

- Dropbox will save previous version of all your files for 30 days so you can go back and see what changes were made.

Its residents enjoy many benefits such as tax exemption and abolition of seigneurial right. Monpazier name appears in the thirteenth century, when the foundation of the house, under the Latinized form of "Castrum Montis Pazerii", which means "castle mountain of peace." Translated into Occitan, it consists of castle, from the Latin mons, montis) and pazier, a derivative of patz (which comes as French peace, from Latin pax). "Castel" would have been lost over time. The bastide was built on a rectangular plan around a central square, surrounded by houses built between the thirteenth and seventeenth century. She has managed, over the centuries, to retain its original character despite the vicissitudes of time and escape the destruction that religious wars have caused in the region.

Chinese puzzle balls are ornate decorative items that consist of several concentric spheres, each of which rotates freely, carved from the same piece of material. Although the master carvers of old used ivory, in modern times you can find puzzle balls made of synthetic ivory, resin, wood, jade, and other materials. These detailed works of art are usually made up of at least 3 to 7 layers, but the world's largest puzzle ball is actually made of 42 concentric balls all enclosed one within the other.
Chinese masters rotate a solid ball on a lathe and start by drilling holes toward the center of the objects. Then, using special "L"-shaped tools, they begin to separate the innermost balls. The tool with the longest upright has the shortest cutter, and the one with the shortest upright has the longest cutter. The craftsman lowers the longest tool to the narrow bottom of each hole in turn and rotates it to cut the innermost ball free. Then, using the second longest, which doesn't reach as far down, but cuts a wider arc, he separates the second ball, and so on, from the innermost to the outermost shell. Because it is easier to work with, the exterior shell is the most elaborately carved, usually featuring an intertwined dragon and a phoenix.
They are solved by aligning all the holes.

Depiction in the series
Hoity Toity first appears in the episode Suited For Success, having arrived in Ponyville to see Rarity's fashion show. Having seen her "perfect" dresses, which are much-revised versions of the original designs, he gives a very critical review, calling the dresses "a piled-on mish-mash of everything but the kitchen sink". This almost ends Rarity's career, until her friends convince Hoity Toity to come back and give her another chance. In contrast to the first fashion show, when he sees Rarity's original ensembles, he is very impressed and recommends featuring her clothes in his fashion boutique in Canterlot, requesting a dozen more of each dress to be created "by next Tuesday".
In Green Isn't Your Color, his distinctive voice can be heard during Fluttershy's fashion show.
Hoity Toity also makes a cameo during the song Becoming Popular (The Pony Everypony Should Know), next to Sapphire Shores, in the episode Sweet and Elite. He is also seen in the audience with Photo Finish and Sapphire Shores in Rarity Takes Manehattan and in the stadium crowd with Sapphire in Equestria Games.

Houston Rocket
Houston may be the fourth largest city in the country, but until a couple weeks ago, it was basically a sartorial wasteland on the menswear front. "A lot of people were like, are you guys nuts?" says Sacha Nelson Chapel about the decision to open Mortar, a forward-thinking men's boutique, with his girlfriend, Iris Siff, during what may or may not be the end of the recession. For him, however, the decision was pretty straightforward: Build it and they will come. "You have to go to the mall just to go to the Barneys Co-Op," jokes Siff, a veteran of the local women's retail scene. "So we wanted to do this from a perspective that was relevant for Houston." That means Texan casual with a New York twist—think Hyden Yoo, Apolis Activism, TOMS Shoes, Billykirk, and Gilded Age, as well as watches from the Huntington Beach-based Tsovet, Simon Miller jeans, handmade leather sandals by Jutta Neumann, and lightweight cotton button downs from Tysa's new menswear collection. It may be "fashion," but the space shouldn't scare off guys—with its refinished concrete floors, weathered steel racks, and even a paint-stained tailgate from a local painter's old Chevy pickup, the vibe is more garage than Galleria. It seems to be working: The reception has been so warm in the few weeks Mortar has been soft-opened that an e-commerce site is already in the works. (It's due mid-April.) "Most people come to Houston and their first impression is usually a bad one because it's not a really accessible city, so you really have to seek things out and make your own experience here," says Chapel. "At Mortar, we're really trying to create that experience."
Mortar is located at 1844 Westheimer, Houston, (713) 529-0009, www.shopmortar.com.
