In the small town of Ealing, Iowa, Austin and his best friend Robby have accidentally unleashed an unstoppable army. An army of horny, hungry, six-foot-tall praying mantises that only want to do two things. This is the truth. This is history. It's the end of the world. And nobody knows anything about it.
Funny, intense, complex and brave, Grasshopper Jungle is a groundbreaking, genre-bending, coming-of-age stunner.
I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
I have to admit I wasn't sure whether Grasshopper Jungle was the book for me, for one main reason; bugs. I don't watch horror movies for a reason. However, it was getting compared to John Green, and the cover is bright, and has LGBT characters… and so I gave in and read it.
Lesson learned: you should trust your gut instinct. The style of this book is pretty weird, with the sentences short and often repetitive. I buddy read it with Charli from To Another World, and after the first 100 pages, I couldn't see where the story was going and what had actually happened in those 100 pages. Things do happen eventually, but I'd stopped caring by that point.
The book is written from Austin's point of view, and he is very rambly, talking about his Polish legacy and how horny is (about every other sentence). I didn't really feel for his relationship with his girlfriend or his best friend, or any of the characters for that matter. I just didn't get the book. I spent most of the beginning dreading the bugs, but really, its the writing I should've been dreading.
I definitely feel like the black sheep in this. Authors, bloggers and readers everywhere are raving about Grasshopper Jungle, and it has left me befuddled. Its been described as sexy, weird and funny. I'm just not entirely sure we read the same book. Gave up at 178 pages.

"Yes, I crossed the line," Arneson said.
Arneson is accused of taking bribes in excess of $180,000 as part of a scheme orchestrated by private eye Anthony Pellicano that used clandestine tactics to dig up dirt to aid clients in legal and other disputes.
All five co-defendants have pleaded not guilty.
Arneson testified that the money he received from Pellicano was for off-duty security work that included escorting stars to award shows and conducting surveillance.
"The payments you received were never in connection" with running names in databases, his defense attorney, Chad Hummel, said during questioning.
"That's correct," Arneson replied.
Arneson said Pellicano didn't tell him why he wanted the names run through the databases, or how the information would be used.
In some cases, Pellicano had information before the data was accessed, Arneson said.
"I was affirming information he already had," Arneson testified. "I was eliminating his legwork."
Earlier in the day, an FBI agent testified that he was unable to decrypt some audio files seized during raids on the offices of Pellicano that began in November 2002.
Agent Donald Schmidt was the only witness called by Pellicano, who is acting as his own attorney. Pellicano reserved the right to testify on his own behalf later in the trial.
Lawyers for the other defendants also had cases to present.
Pellicano questioned Schmidt, an Internet technology specialist, for about an hour. The agent testified that he was instructed to look for calls that had been wiretapped among the recordings.
He said he was unable to listen to some of the encrypted calls.
"Did you find any evidence of wiretaps?" Pellicano asked.
"I found what sounded like telephone recordings," Schmidt replied.
During the trial, prosecutors played at least six recordings of calls between Pellicano and clients but only one tape they characterized as a wiretap.

(Ed. note: Ignore the hysterical handwaving in this article and rather take note of the methods described. )
Intelligence and surveillance powers that once belonged only to militaries and state spooks are now available to anyone with a high-speed internet connection.
Live long enough and you may hear future historians recall the war between 4chan and an art collective called LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner.
They'll tell the story of how anonymous, interconnected imageboard users gathered clues from public video footage, like passing aircraft and the position of stars, to geolocate the roving, anti-Trump art project He Will Not Divide Us, put on by actor Shia LaBeouf and his collaborators. Records will show that the people on the group's trail—pro-Trump activists, impish saboteurs, and budding neo-Nazis—didn't need high-end spy gear. Instead, they found their mark by collecting and processing public information through decentralized and supposedly leaderless networks. It might one day look, in retrospect, like a form of social automation: continuously updating intelligence assessments converted into real-world effect by volunteer foot "soldiers" acting without orders.
Or maybe the saga will be remembered as a trial run of sorts, when tactics later used in domestic guerilla warfare first appeared as sinister pranks. Whatever happens next, the genie is out of the bottle, and intelligence and surveillance capabilities that once belonged only to militaries and state spooks are now available to anyone with a high-speed internet connection.

Meet should please turf, pick six bettors
Laurel Park intends to make heavy use of its turf course and provide an incentive for small-budget bettors to play the pick six when it launches its fall meet Wednesday.
The revamped and widened grass course, which opened last September, is expected to account for 40 percent of Laurel's live races during the 73-day meet.
To help ensure large fields, Laurel will race only four days a week - Wednesday through Saturday - for most of the meeting. Sunday racing will be added beginning Thanksgiving weekend.
Last fall, when Laurel's handle increased nearly 30 percent over the previous year's meet, the track averaged 11.2 starters for its grass races.
"We had the highest field size of any track in North America last September," said Lou Raffetto, the Maryland Jockey Club's president and chief operating officer. "By utilizing the turf course for 40 percent of our races, hopefully we can meet or exceed last year's numbers."
Budget-conscious horseplayers should appreciate Laurel's decision to offer a 50-cent pick six. It will have a guaranteed pool of $10,000 until the wager is hit.
"The 50-cent pick six is often overlooked early on because the pools can be relatively small," Raffetto said. "We felt by offering a $10,000 guarantee until the wager is hit is a good way to stimulate interest in the bet specifically and in our whole card in general. It is essentially a $40,000 guarantee on a normal $2 pick six."
As usual, the highlights of the fall meet are the Fall Festival of Racing on Nov. 25, which includes the Grade 1 Frank De Francis Memorial Dash and the 21st annual Maryland Million on Oct. 14.
Overall, the meet will feature 43 stakes worth a collective $4.7 million.
The opening-day feature, which goes as race 9, is the $75,000 Mister Diz, a five-furlong turf stakes for older sprinters. It's one of four grass races on the 10-race card.
Second in Command and Bingobear, the one-two finishers from the restricted Troy Stakes at Saratoga on Aug. 14, and defending champion Yankee Wildcat head a field of 10 older sprinters for the Mister Diz.
Also dangerous is the 8-year-old Procreate, the world record-holder for five furlongs on turf. He ended a nearly 13-month winless drought a month ago, when he wired eight rivals in the Pennsylvania Governor's Cup Handicap at Penn National.
Procreate will be reunited with Rosie Napravnik, who rode him for the first time in the Governor's Cup. Napravnik, the leading rider at Laurel's winter meet and Pimlico's spring meet, will be riding her first full meet since losing her apprentice status on Aug. 23.
At a glance:
* RACING SCHEDULE: Wednesday through Dec. 31. Live racing Wednesday through Saturday. Sunday racing begins Nov. 26.
* POST TIME: 1:10 p.m. Eastern.
* LOCATION: Midway between Baltimore and Washington on Rte. 198 in Laurel (4 miles east of I-95 exit 33 and 2 miles west of Rte. 295 Washinton-Baltimore Parkway).

Foo Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett insists the band have no definite plans on when they will make their next album, but it will happen ''at some point''.
Foo Fighters will make a new album ''when the time is right''.
The 'Walking After You' hitmakers are expected to spend a lot of time in the recording studio working on the follow-up to 2014's 'Sonic Highways' over the coming months, but guitarist Chris Shiflett insists they don't have any definite plans in place.
He said: ''I don't know what our plans are, but we'll make a new album when the time is right.
''There will be a new Foo Fighters [record] at some point.''
Last week, the group announced they will be headlining Glastonbury in June - two years after they pulled out of the iconic festival after frontman Dave Grohl broke his leg - at a secret intimate gig in nearby Frome, Somerset, and they had a great time at the tiny show.
Chris told NME magazine: ''It was great, the show was really fun.''
And while they were in the region, the 'Best of You' hitmakers got the chance to visit the nearby festival site, at Worthy Farm, and are now looking forward to their headlining slot more than ever.
Chris said: ''You get an interesting sense of the size of Glastonbury because it's completely empty. I can't wait to see what it looks like full of people and we're there to compare it.
''Can you believe that I've never been to Glastonbury - ever? It's like the one festival that I've still never been to, so I'm looking forward to it. I've never had the Glastonbury experience.''
During the gig in Frome, Dave claimed the bad had requested space on the bill for an extra-long three-hour set and Chris confirmed they were up for the mammoth show.
He said: ''Absolutely we could, you never know!''
Drummer Taylor Hawkins previously admitted they don't know when they'll record a new album until they hear from their singer.
He said: ''We will make a new record at some point. We won't really be ready until Dave's ready to go. It's on the books, so we'll definitely be playing. We never really know, we just wait for a text from Dave saying 'hey, let's go down to the studio.''
Meanwhile, Radiohead are also officially confirmed to headline Glastonbury, while Ed Sheeran is expected to take the third slot.
Labrinth has teamed up with Sia and Diplo to form a new supergroup: LSD.
The Struts teamed up with Kesha for a red and gold themed music video as part of their collaboration on 'Body Talks'.
Brody Dalle's band dropped their first new music since 2003's 'Coral Fang'.

From student to teacher, part 2
April 25, 2010
Well, I've been bad about writing—mostly because I'm actually teaching now. Since active reflection is critical at this point, I'm going to skip over 2-3 months of course development, hopefully to return to it later. See: part 1.
I was prepared for quiet students, but now I sympathize more than ever with my past professors and TAs. Isn't that the great challenge of teaching, though: to help students find their own voices? To then, at some point down the road, get them to feel as passionately about the material as you do?
I don't think it helped that it took four weeks even for just the roster to settle down. At the last and "final" count, I have 11 students from a variety of disciplines, including Anthropology, Design | Media Arts, Economics, Philosophy, and Cognitive Science.
The first week was very experimental. I had a lesson plan, but I found that real life didn't often abide by the time limits I'd allotted. And I was all nerves. Thus there were threads of ideas and fragments of conversations that were later dropped entirely. Even the introductory icebreaker fell flat, rang hollow. I knew that some of this would be alleviated when people started opening up, but I didn't know how long that would take, and I couldn't wait.
So Week 2 was a little different. I tried showing some demonstrations, including an implementation of Conway's Game of Life. Again, though, I'd feel like I was babbling. I was gratified when students had actually done the readings. (Each week, I require them to write 2-3 paragraphs in response to guiding questions that I pose.) Although discussion picked up in comparison to the previous week, I had my first worries of a different kind. One of my students was older, in his 30s or 40s, and he was clearly familiar with the material. Though he had much to offer on the topic, he began to lead the discussion in a way that, I felt, both undermined my authority and—more importantly—intimidated the other students. Although this was initially disconcerting, I was prepared to consult with him individually if the need arose; however, he later sent me an email saying that he couldn't stay in the class with his current commute and academic circumstances.
I decided to do something a little different in Week 3 by hosting a small debate. The topic: "Are We Spiritual Machines," excerpts of which were assigned for the week. I split students into three groups: one "for" strong AI, one against, and the third as a panel of judges. I guess I had less experience with debates than I thought I did; by letting the groups have a back-and-forth conversation, the second group to go didn't have a real chance to deliver their opening argument. Between making each side deliver a closing statement, having the judges critique each group, and giving the groups a chance to rebut, the logistics of the debate were a little fuzzy. Still, I think it was a good way to close this particular unit on "Intelligence, Consciousness, and Humanity."
To be continued in the next installment.

Udinese VS Torino Prediction
"Il Toro" made a wrong step against Inter which has ended its six-matches unbeaten run, so on Monday night Torino aims to start a new chapter when facing a resurgent host from Udine. Form of Udinese suddenly improves under management of new coach Luigi Delneri, who on his turn will be keen to reach its first success against Sinisa Mihajlovic, after losing once and drew four times in their previous five meetings. Difference between both sides has been reduced to only two points after the midweek Serie A round – 15 against 13 in Torino's favour. However, you can easily calculate that a home win can eventually tip the scales in Udinese's favour, so "The Friuliani" have a good reason to trigger towards third consecutive success.
Udinese vs Torino – Team News and Match Preview
Torino won just a point out of recent two Serie A rounds as it came in the 2-2 draw against Lazio last Sunday, when Adem Ljajic equalized from a penalty in stoppage time. Anyway, it was part from the fine form including six games without defeat for "The Maroons", which has been ended on Wednesday night, when he "Il Toro" became victim of Mauro Icardi's awakening. The Argentine has finally ended its goal drought and he netted a brace to form final 2-1 for Inter, while goal for guests from Turin was scored by Andrea Belotti. This was sixth goal for Belotti this season and he is unquestionably one of the players on whom Sinisa Mihajlovic relies the most generally. His presence on peak of Torino's attacking formation has been subject of our previous reviews and we certainly believe the 22-year-old number 9 deserves being described as one of the players with highest potential in Italian football, and not only.
Gigi Delneri was appointed for coach of Udinese early in October, as a replacement of Giuseppe Iachini, who was sacked after a 0-3 loss by Lazio. So far so good, Delneri didn't had best luck to start its quest with "The Little Zebras" against Torino's city rivals – reigning champions Juventus. Despite expectations for an easy win "The Old Lady" had to made a comeback as Udinese opened the score, but after a brace by Paulo Dybala, Juventus have met the expectations to earn all points. Udinese didn't had any reason to regret and we saw another face by "The Bianconeri Friuliani" in next weeks. First of all Luigi Delneri's home debut has ended in best possible way – winning against Pescara (3-1), while Serie A's midweek round 10 was a continuation of what Udinese did against Pescara. Main difference was that Udinese has accomplished the 3-1 win against Palermo on the road, when on Thursday evening "Little Zebras" were losing 0-1 after only 10 minutes. It was followed by a first-half equalizer of French striker Cyril Thereau and a second-half brace by his compatriot Seko Fofana, which was more than enough for Udinese's winning march at the "Stadio Renzo Barbera" in Sicilian capital Palermo.
Udinese vs Torino – Betting Prediction and Possible Lineups
After these two victories Udinese have finally found their real face but this time their challenge will be quite different. We don't underestimate both victories of Udinese in past 7 days, not at all, but they were against side which were deeply involved in the relegation battle and Torino is a team from completely different quality.
Iago Falque and Adem Ljajic are two other names who have arrived in Torino and their presence improves the overall attacking quality of "Il Toro". Both were far from impressive last round and Iago Falque was even replaced by Maxi Lopez on half-time, while Adem Ljajic didn't feel so well that night. Nevertheless, Iago Falque and Adem Ljajic are expected to start for Torino on Monday and trio including names of the two and of Belotti should be real threat for Udinese's defense here.
Cristian Molinaro remains the only 100% absentee for Torino here, but good news regarding their defense is that Leandro Castán should be ready to return in the team, as he missed last round in Milan. Marco Benassi and Daniele Baselli should be back in the starting XI, which will inevitably refresh Torino's line in midfield.
Luigi Delneri must pick its starting squad without names of Pablo Armero, Panagiotis Kone and Adalberto Peñaranda, who are all injured. Anyhow, that's not something new as they've all been injured before his appointment, so obviously experienced Italian coach has built its optimal starting squad by using different setup.
Final conclusion and Betting Prediction
"The Bianconeri" from Udine may have serious confidence boost after winning in last two Serie A matchweeks, which could help them improve their game even more. Notwithstanding, Torino are still our favourites to grab full set of points against Udinese, but however, we should have in mind "Il Toro" isn't so successful away from home. For more safety we'll place a bet on Torino with the Asian Handicap 0 (Draw No Bet) on their side.
Venue: "Dacia Arena", Udine.
Referee: Paolo Tagliavento.
Possible starting lineups of Udinese and Torino
Udinese Calcio: Orestis Karnezis – Felipe, Gabriele Angella, Danilo, Silvan Widmer – Emmanuel Badu, Seko Fofana, Sven Kums – Rodrigo de Paul – Cyril Thereau, Duvan Zapata. (4-3-1-2)
Torino FC: Joe Hart – Antonio Barreca, Leandro Castán, Luca Rossettini, Davide Zappacosta – Marco Benassi, Daniele Baselli, Mirko Valdifiori – Adem Ljajic, Iago Falque, Andrea Belotti. (4-3-3)

Almost enitely surrounded by the Industrial sprawl of nearby Florence, the Tuscan town of Prato has many significant and beautiful buildings located within it's medieval heart. But to my mind the most significant building of all that of "Antonio Mattei", for this is the home of the famous Tuscan "Biscotti de Prato" or "Cantucci" as they are know locally.
Established in 1858 by Antonio Mattei, the interior of the store with it's marble bench tops and wooden shelves holding rows of neat blue packets of biscotti, still feels like it is of this period. I love this store, the smell of baking eggs, sugar, almonds and hazelnuts filling the streets around the store are remembrances that will remain with me for ever. The 19th century Italian cookbook author Pellegrino Artusi had this to say about the original Mattei
"Letters and science aren't always necessary to win public esteem; even a very humble art, accompanied by a kind heart and practiced with skill and decorum, can make us worthy of the respect and love of our fellow men"
Considering that Artusi used his fortune to publish his great Italian cookbook, "La scienza in cucina e l'arte di mangiar bene (The Science of Cooking and the Art of Eating Well)", a work of art and science, this is a beautiful eulogy for his friend and demonstrate just how unique the products from this store are. It is a great credit Pandolfini family that have ran the store for generations, that the products are still so good today.

Your Terror Is Fallen Upon Us
And [Rahab] said unto the men, I know that the Lord hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you. (Joshua 2:9)
The citizens of Jericho, that great walled city, quaked as they shared stories of God's miraculous dealings with Israel. Surely, their city would fall to this great army of the living God — and Jericho did indeed fall. But we need to take our eyes off the money-shot… you know… where the walls came tumbling down… because armies do not defeat walls; they defeat people… and God fought that battle long before the walls fell.
"…. our hearts melted in fear and everyone's courage failed because of you, for the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below." (11)
I'm not sure why God used weak human vessels to defeat Jericho when he could have just reached down and squished the inhabitants of the land. After all, he said that he wanted them destroyed (Deuteronomy 20:17)… and "people" have a way of botching-up their assignments… I mean, look at Achan: he "took of the accursed thing" in spite of what he saw at Jericho, and Israel was defeated at their next outing because of it (Joshua 7:4). If that's how we humans do business, why bother with us?
But the lesson of the day came after the people obeyed some very specific (albeit strange) instructions about the order of the march, the number of days, the number of circuits, the silence and the noise. Israel followed God's instructions exactly and a great victory was theirs… but the power to melt men's hearts? That was God's.
You see, the story of how God brought Israel out of Egypt persisted in Canaan … and I'm sure that word spread about their crossing of the Jordan, too! But these are just two examples which add breadth to David's later utterance that the battle is the Lord's… but did you notice that the soldiers had to fight anyway? So the victory was theirs, too… in a way… but the glory belonged to God. Without him they were an army; with him they were undefeatable — and we Christians have the same deal.
Our omnipotent God is willing to listen, willing to help and desirous of our fellowship… yet we fight our own battles; we ignore his instructions… and we act like he is a metaphor instead of the true and present God. But in our defense, since he insists on using us to accomplish his will… and how can we not occasionally confuse our arm for his, our strength for his, our will for his…. this is heady stuff!
The war still rages. But the real enemy, the powers and principalities, shall soon be defeated. After all, the demons tremble, too… just like the inhabitants of Jericho trembled when the power of the Lord was so imminent.
As for us, we need to pray, to listen for his battle plan and to follow his instructions… but we need to follow them even if he tells us to walk in circles.

- Backpacking & family car camping tents - MSR Hubba Hubba and Big Agnes Pine Island 4 Just a quick look at two tents for different types of camping. When backpacking, equipment weight is your main concern. Backpacking tents are made of lighter materials and usually pack down smaller than tents used for car camping, meaning you pull up to your campsite and pitch your tent few feet from it. Car camping tents are sometimes referred to as family camping tents. These can be larger and weight and bulk isn't much of an issue since you are not hauling it on your back along with the rest of your gear. Quality tents last longer and are usually more weatherproof than your average store brand tent purchased from your local department store that also sells diapers and lawn equipment. Look for tents that are seam sealed and that have a ranfly that goes all the way down to the ground for better rain protection. A footprint or groundcloth is also recommended to prolong the life of the tent and also adds an extra layer between you and the ground for added insulation. A sleeping mat or air mattress is recommend both for comfort and also keeps you insulated from the ground. A sleeping bag rounds off your basic overnight sleeping accommodations. Synthetic is heavier, but performs better in humid or wet conditions, and down is lighter and compresses down smaller for transport. Mummy style bags are warmer than the standard rectangular configuration. Practice setting up your tent at home before heading out. Setting up in the dark or rain for practice may not be a bad idea either ...

- Winter Camping - Hammock Gear Testing From the last hammock video, got some new gear, mainly a mummy sleeping bag and a space blanket to try out. This video is mainly for newbies who are starting to get into winter camping or into hammock camping and are looking at ideas or learning from my mistakes :) Bad editing in this video, however some things to learn... 1. Getting into a hammock via a mummy sleeping bag is hard. But gets easier. 2. Space blanket didn't work out as expected. 3. I skipped the liner, since I had enough issues trying to get in the hammock. I didn't use the tarp, and the conditions were -3C with light winds. I felt the cold around my shoulders and waist area. The space blanket didn't work as I thought it would. I might resort back to using the therma rest to insulate myself from the bottom.

The savior of trees on China's Hainan island has put himself out on a limb.
The rain forest is so dense around farmer Xing Chunlan's ramshackle house that she thought of the trees as no more than weeds. When she found out she could make money selling timber, she was ready to get her ax.
Then she heard about the man who paid cash to let trees live.
"He gave us more than $300 for this one," said Xing, pointing to a 100-year-old tree so lush that the rustling leaves shade much of her backyard. Its exposed roots spread across the earth like giant hands.
"He gave us $25 for that," she said, pointing to a smaller tree.
That's a lot of money for a family of five that scrapes by on about $100 a year growing peppercorns and peanuts.
"We won't chop them down anymore," she said. "They are now home to thousands of birds."
As he listened, a rare smile lighted the face of Xing Yiqian, a native of this village on Hainan island where all of the residents share the same surname. For a decade, his cash-for-trees operation has earned him cult status on the island and restored a paradise that existed only in his childhood memories. It also has created China's first private nature reserve for tens of thousands of birds and thousands of acres of tropical rain forest.
Today, Xing is surrounded by trees, but he's broke. He has run out of money trying to save the forest he loves and is learning the hard way what it means to be an environmentalist in a country where the quest for prosperity makes preservation a lonely pursuit.
"They used to call me 'tree god,'" Xing, 48, said sullenly. He wore an old blazer that's a faded remnant of his days as a rags-to-riches millionaire.
"I'm the last line of defense for these trees," he said. "If I give up, you will see new construction everywhere, and the natural state of the primal forest will be lost forever."
He has no plans to stop his quixotic quest, but he spends his days looking for the next big deal and chain-smoking three packs of cigarettes a day.
Xing's piece of paradise is tucked away on the east coast of Hainan, a large island in the South China Sea near Vietnam. For decades, its reputation as a dumping ground for criminals and other mainland castaways kept away developers, leaving tropical vegetation and dense jungles virtually untouched.
Then, in the early 1990s, Hainan was rediscovered as a possible "Hawaii of China." A building frenzy ensued, and entrepreneurs from around the country raced here, hoping to re-create the economic miracles transforming the rest of China. Massive deforestation followed. By some estimates, less than 8 percent of the original cover remains.
In those go-go years, Xing made and lost his fortune and tied his fate inextricably to the island's forests. He traces his love of nature to his childhood, when he herded water buffalo through the dense jungles, climbing giant litchi trees in his backyard and watching cranes and swans frolic in the lakes.
In 1979, he left home for Hong Kong, where his farmer parents had gone in search of a better life.
"Before I left, I went swimming in the reservoir with some friends, and they asked me what I wanted to do after I make it big," Xing said. "I told them I wanted to give something back to the village. They laughed at me."
What awaited Xing in Hong Kong was a one-bedroom apartment for six people and dead-end jobs loading bricks and washing dishes. Finally, after years of struggle, he returned and made it big in Hainan real estate. At his peak, he boasted more than $24 million in assets, including what he said was the island's tallest building. He owned more than a dozen luxury cars and a fleet of construction trucks. He dined on $2,400 meals.
To his friends' surprise, he didn't forget his roots.
"When I was a kid, where we are standing used to be all forest," Xing said. "When I came back, all the trees are gone, all the birds are gone."'
But he knew how tough it would be to persuade poor, illiterate farmers to spare the trees.
"What we are doing is much more than saving the environment," Xing said. "We're trying to change the human heart. That's much harder."
He tried to win the villagers' trust so they would come to him before selling trees for timber or shooting birds for dinner. He bought gas stoves so they wouldn't need firewood. He built water towers so they could have running water. He paved roads and put up street lights.
"What he bought with his money is time. What took hundreds of years to grow takes only minutes to destroy," said Zhan Zunhong, 56, an accountant who has worked for Xing for a decade. He hasn't been paid in four years.
When farmers couldn't keep the trees, Xing would transplant many of them to the inner sanctum of his nature reserve, more than 17,000 acres where no one is allowed to snap a branch or touch a feather without his permission.
Most nature reserves in China are publicly owned and devoid of human inhabitants. Xing's idea was to let the villagers stay and learn to live in harmony with nature. He owns part of the land and rents the rest. In return, farmers within the 22-village reserve promise to check with him before destroying anything.
Like a father speaking about his adopted children, Xing remembers every detail of how each tree became a new member of his family.
"This one we call a sleeping bean. Its leaves close at night and open during the day," Xing said. "A peasant wanted to chop it down because it had these scary looking roots that looked like giant snakes. He said that was why his wife wouldn't bear a child. The snakes ate her eggs!" After Xing moved the "egg eater," the farmer's wife gave birth to a boy.
"This one they wanted to get rid of to clear the field for watermelon planting," Xing said, looking up at a giant banyan tree with a trunk like twisted elephant legs. "I slept three days in the forest waiting for a 20-ton forklift."
It wasn't unusual for him to spend $6,000 on a rescue mission, which involves renting bulldozers to clear roads, flatbed trucks to transport 50-foot-tall trees, and labor costs and compensation for downed telephone poles or broken fences along the way.
Saving trees was so rewarding that Xing forgot about the business of making money. He often interrupted meetings to answer a call on the latest tree in need or dropped out of sight for days to plot another rescue mission.
So he was caught unprepared when the local real-estate market began to collapse in 1994. He lives on small handouts from friends and income from a few acres of litchi trees he planted.
His wife, who never got so much as a wedding band when he was rich, has been washing dishes in Hong Kong for four years to support their three young children. His elderly father, who toiled for years as a waiter, now lives with his daughters, who are also dishwashers.
"Every time my wife comes home and sees another new tree, she throws a fit and insists that I am beyond repair. My family thinks I'm crazy. I know. I wouldn't think twice about giving strangers tens of thousands, but I gave nothing to them."
But Xing Yiqian has vowed to do all he can for his favorite transplants around the bamboo bungalows that he hopes to turn into a lakeside resort.
"My idea is to create something that would benefit the locals," Xing said. "They don't want to sell trees, either. But they have no choice. Only by making the resort a success could we raise enough money to help everybody." *

Bir Ayub ('Ein Rogel)
بير أيوب
עין רוגל
In 985 the Arab writer and traveller el-Muqaddasi wrote: "The village of Sulwan is a place on the outskirts of the city [Jerusalem]. Below the village of 'Ain Sulwan (the Pool of Siloam), of fairly good water, which irrigates the large gardens which were given in bequest by the Khalif 'Othman ibn 'Affan for the poor of the city. Lower down than this, again, is Job's Well (Bir Ayub)".
A Muslim legend has it that the pious Job bathed in this spring and got rid of his leprosy. C. Conder said that Bir Ayub was located in the southern part of Silwan, in Wady Ayub (SWP III 54). C. Clermont-Ganneau retold the legend about this spring, and reported that, according to fellahs, the water from this spring is sweet, in contrast to the saltish water in Sitt Maryam spring (Gihon Spring) (ARP I 300-301). Israelis identify Bir Ayub with the biblical 'Ein Rogel.

J. Geikie described 'Ein Rogel so: "The well is lined with masonry down to the rock, and is 125 fefet deep in all, with a huge rock-hewn reservoir at the bottom, to collect the water running over the lower hard limestone, which we have seen so frequently elsewhere. The pit appears, indeed, to have been deepened at some unknown time, for a second chamber is found, thirteen feet above the lower one." (1888, I 346)
Job's Well survived to the present day, though, it's hardly recognizable. It is located in the courtyard of the lower Silvan mosque and covered with boards. Attendants of the mosque willingly show their shrine. They say that the depth of the well is 40 meters. The dome over the spring is long gone, and all the buildings in this area have been thoroughly rebuilt.

Route. Bir Ayub Mosque is situated 600 meters to the south of the Pool of Siloam, if you drive along the street Ma'alot Ir David. This mosque belongs to East Jerusalem region, inhabited by Arabs (Bir Ayub district). Here often happen skirmishes between Palestinian youths and Israeli troops.

Jubb Yusuf - Joseph's Well
جُبّ يُوسِف
ג'וּב יוּסֻף
Khan Jubb Yusuf or the "Hotel of the Josef's [the Beautiful] Well", located in the gardens of the kibbutz Ammi'ad arose in the period of the Abbasid and Mamluk. It was the first station on the caravan route from Safed (Tzfat) in Tiberias (Tverya). The second station was located on the seashore in Khan el-Minya (Hurvat Minim) On the third day the caravans reached Tiberias.
Caravans used to come here in the evening, the travelers prayed and stayed overnight.
Plan of Khan (from the book by A. Petersen)
To the east of Khan on the top of a small hill stands a domed building, which from a distance looks like a maqam. This is not a maqam, though, but simply the dome over an extremely deep well that people drew water from, and where, according to Biblical-Koranic tradition, Joseph the Beautiful was thrown down by his brothers.
Water is not visible.
Arabic geographical texts mention this place since 9th century. Since 13th century it is associated with Joseph the Beautiful. It was visited by J. Burckhardt (1822, 318), V. Guérin (Galilee I 346–349), K. Baedeker (1894, 257), C. Conder (SWP I 234), and other researchers of the 19th century.
A. Petersen, however, believes that originally the Joseph's Well was located not on the top of the hill, but at the foot of it, much closer to the Khan – "The pit was located much closer to the khan, probably under the vaulted cistern in the north-west corner. Evidence for this is given by the Swiss traveller, Burckhardt, who wrote as follows: 'Here is shown the well into which Joseph was let down by his brothers; it is in the courtyard by the side of the khan'" (2001, 190).
Photo of 1912
Back in the beginning of the 19th century the Khan Jubb Yusuf was a functioning caravanserai. It is reported that there was a mosque and a small Palestinian village. Now all buildings are in complete desolation.
Route. From the 90th Highway turn in the direction of Ammi'ad kibbutz, drive along the asphalt-paved road in the southern part of the kibbutz for about 400–500 m, then along a dirt road to the south of the kibbutz passing the gardens for 700 meters. There are no guide signs. Ruins of the Khan and the well are surrounded by a fence with barbed wire, but if you look carefully, you'll find a manhole.

Sabil Shahin Agha
السبيل شاهين آغا
הסביל שיהין אגא
In Arab countries "Sabil" means the public spring, the fountain of drinking water in the form of a freestanding or wallboundary structure (usually stone) with one or more arched recesses, faucets or bowls for water, which is falling slowly into a sink-pool. Often sabils are outstanding architectural structures.
On the map of Palestine of 1879 (Sheet XIII) on the road between Jaffa and Yebnah (Yavne) appears Sabil Shahin Agha (Palmer 1881, 218). It has survived to the present day in a relatively good condition, although its deterioration continues. Israelis often refer to it as Sabil Abu Nabbut, by association with the famous Sabil in Jaffa.
A square building with a dome is built over the used-to-be spring. A small dried-up stone cistern adjoins it. A. Petersen notes that it is noticeable that the cistern and well-head are not bonded together, indicating that they were built separately (it is likely that the cistern was built later). The use of ceramic vaulting tubes indicates a late eighteenth or nineteenth century date for construction for the well (2001, 182).
Near the remains of Sabil grows a huge sycamore tree, installed tables and benches for picnic and stands a memorial plaque in honor of the fallen students of the Six Day War.
Route. Sabil is almost adjacent to the Highway 42, between the crossroads Beit Oved and Rehovot Ma'arav, opposite the entrance to the village Ayanot.

Sabil el-Banna
السبيل البنا
הסביל אל-בנא
Another Sabil is located near the ruins of the Arab-Palestinian settlement Miska. It is composed of smooth stone blocks typical for buildings of the late Ottoman period (19th – early 20th century). The facade is 5.50m long. According to A. Petersen, "This is a square structure with a cistern in the middle and a sabil on the west side facing the road. The sabil is set within a large arch which rises above the top of the cistern behind. There is an offset course approximately lm above present ground level. The roof is made of reinforced concrete and is presumably modern." (2001, 248)

What is it about pizza that always makes me feel better? I can never say no to pizza and I'm pretty sure its universally liked by everyone.
When I've got no idea what to make for dinner, or I don't feel like cooking, I always turn to my handy dandy pizza delivery place. But the other night I was feeling adventurous and thought, what if I make my own pizza? This week I decided to give it a go and I'm SO happy I did. It was the perfect mid-week pick me up.
Here's how I made mine:
1. I bought the pizza dough from a local store around here (I didn't bother making my own. I didn't think I could taste much of a difference between the store bought and home made).
2. I rolled and stretched the pizza dough out. Okay, I'm not gonna lie, Matt, my husband worked in a pizzeria for awhile and so, he did this part. I figured out I'm not the best at rolling out the pizza dough. I'm sure I'll improve with time, but it's definitely harder than it looks!
3. Put the pizza dough on a pizza stone.
4. Drizzle olive oil over the top and add some minced or crushed garlic
5. Layer tomatoes
6. Layer fresh mozzarella
7. In between the mozzarella and tomatoes, dot the empty spots with basil pesto
8. Put into a 400 degree preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the crust is brown
Oh my gosh, it was so good!

Waking Times
The Boom festival is a shining example of the thriving psychedelic resurgence. The very notion of coming together in an autonomous space specifically designed to facilitate transformative experiences reflects a contemporary psychedelic ethos that is spreading worldwide and taking shape in exciting ways. A rich modern history—as well as deep ties to prehistoric practices—has brought this unprecedented resurgence to its thrilling present position, and the potential futures on the horizon are the stuff of dreams.
Humans have been surrounded by psychoactive plants and have explored altered states of consciousness since the dawn of history. The rediscovery and popularization of some of these plants, alongside modern synthesized compounds, played a significant role, both as cause and effect, in the social turmoil of the '60s and '70s, with governments, militaries, and countercultural psychonauts exploring the depth and breadth of psychedelic experiences. Though numerous people presented the synthesis of LSD as the "spiritual antidote" to the atomic bomb—because both were invented in the same year—their claims mask the sinister manners in which government agencies utilized LSD for their own ends and ignore the fact that LSD failed to bring about the change some of its most fervent proponents promised. Still, social and scientific psychedelic experimentation soared to new heights, and as a consequence, world governments used prohibition and criminalization to stifle psychedelic exploration.
Yet, we are now undeniably in the midst of what may be the most exciting moment in psychedelic history. University research teams are carrying out sanctioned studies of psychedelic experiences, advancing our understanding of the mechanisms of action and reliable medical applications of these compounds. Current sanctioned psychedelic research includes studies on MDMA for the treatment of PTSD, psilocybin for the treatment of depression in terminally-ill patients and for the treatment of cluster headaches, ayahuasca or ibogaine for the treatment of addiction, and examinations of the structure-activity relationships and pharmacodynamics of numerous psychedelic compounds. Additionally, pioneering neuroscientists are working towards understanding the complex relationships between consciousness, psychedelic compounds, and neural mechanisms and structures, including the default mode network and the claustrum.
Concurrently, underground researchers collaborating through websites like the DMT-Nexus have put psychedelic harm reduction, self-reliance, and sustainability in the spotlight. These researchers have presented the first known analyses of several plants used in ayahuasca, as well as analytical data for a whole host of other psychedelic plants and compounds. Underground efforts to refine extraction methodologies and propagate ecologically-threatened plants, such as T. iboga, are striving to create an unprecedented paradigm of safety and availability. Truly, psychedelic culture is in full swing.
The rise of visionary art, electronic music, transformative festivals, and psychedelic research, all amidst global prohibition, is exhilarating. Worldwide, people in societies that have demonized the use of psychedelics are undertaking profoundly mind-manifesting experiences and are sharing the bounty of those experiences with the world at large. The experiential nature of psychedelics means that this knowledge cannot be taken away. Despite repression and slander by governments and corporate media outlets, psychedelics and the experiences they facilitate are spreading like wildfire.
We find ourselves at a point in history where the social contract offers sanctuary to less and less of us; where promises of "better living through technology" are understood to incur dire ecological costs; where perpetual war and incarceration have become economic engines. It's unsurprising, perhaps even fitting, that this psychedelic resurgence is occurring alongside revolutionary struggles, indigenous resistance, and social upheaval around the world. We are now presented with new opportunities to merge psychedelic perspectives with social struggles in unprecedented ways.
Psychedelics are amazing boundary dissolving agents. What better tools to realize our connection to all other life and to the very planet itself? What could these catalysts allow for, if we use them as lenses through which to engage with the social and environmental catastrophes we currently face and work to incorporate these perspectives into our daily lives? Not as lessons learned and vocalized, but as experiential understandings, embodied in the actions we take to create the worlds in which we wish to live.
The future is bright for psychedelic communities. The infrastructure of prohibition is crumbling around us. Fascinating insights into these compounds are emerging from both sanctioned and underground research. We are on the edge of a truly special time, a time in which we all bear responsibility for putting our understandings into practice. What does it mean to be psychedelically engaged human beings? How will this definition change as we partake in the shifting sociopolitical landscape around us and what will it look like? The answers to these questions are awakening inside of us. It is up to all of us to determine our futures in this psychedelic resurgence.
