Behold! I have returned from the hunt! And from the land of Grocery, I have brought back with me the spoils! I bagged two New York Strip steaks. It was a tough battle, but I won. And now, I will prepare them for grilling! Would anyone like to throw out some suggestions on how to handle these beautiful specimens of meat?
These steaks are too good for marinating. Just throw a little bit of salt on them and let them sit for an hours or so. Then season it with some pepper and put them on the grill. The natural juices will be enough to enjoy a delicious New York Strip steak.
That's almost exactly what I ended up doing. What do you think, folks? Do you have a favorite marinade?
We are having strip steaks for dinner tonight with some shrimp sauteed in butter and parmasean cheese, and a side salad. We are celebrating hubby's competion of his first semester of college with all A's!
I like mine Tuscan style. I set them in olive oil with kosher salt for awhile. Then, after grilling, I serve with wedges of lemon to squeeze on the steak. Delicious!
Congrats on your success! I would also avoid marinading a good steak. Simply season with a little salt and black pepper and let the flavor of the steak come through.
Same here. When it's a good cut, I skip the marinade. Marinades are to make lesser cuts taste really good still. I'm glad to hear that you ended up keeping it simple and enjoying the meat for what it was.
Brush them with a little garlic flavored olive oil, sea salt and black pepper, and tear up some parsley and sprinkle it on 'em. I've become a huge fan of the garlic olive oil, especially when cooking meat at high heat on a grill since you get the flavor without worrying about the garlic bits scorching. And it tastes more like fresh garlic than garlic powder does.
i like to marinade my steaks in Italian salad dressing. It makes steaks so tender and juicy. The aroma from it while grilling is divine. After the steaks are cooked you don't taste the Italian dressing. I like to top my steaks with sauteed onions and mushrooms. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
Ive been craving garlic myself. Id grill em up plain and baste them with clarified butter with fresh barlic pressed into it. Finish with some fresh ground pepper, yum! Toasted sourdough bread is also amazing on the grill and baster in the garlic butter.
I hope that your New Yorks are better than my latest buy of the New Yorks, they just weren't that good.. I'm going to buy top Sirloin next time.

Locked church doors and tossed rotten eggs greetedthe faithful and patient Charles Simeon in his early
years as a pastor. But in humility and simple power
he was allowed by God to triumph. He became, as
John R.W. Stott notes, "one of the greatest and most
persuasive preachers the Church of England has ever
known." Why did he have such an impact? You'll
discover the reasons yourself as you read these clearflowing sermons, rich in content and clean in style.
Shining through his words are Simeon's simple
devotion to pure biblical truth, his concise and orderly
presentation, and his pastor's mind and heart. James
Houston's editorial preface is an instructive guide to
Simeon's sound homiletical principles, while Stott's
introduction is an engaging portrait of Simeon as a
servant of God. Surveying his long life (1758-1836)
and fruitful ministry, Stott is especially impressed by
Simeon's refreshing, unaffected humility, and writes,
"Our proud, self-confident, self-congratulatory generation
urgently needs to recover this biblical perspective."
Dr. James M. Houston, editor of the CLASSICS OF FAITH
AND DEVOTION SERIES, is a highly acclaimed scholar
and pioneer in the field of evangelical spirituality. He
came to North America from England in 1968 to lead
Regent College in Vancouver, Canada, an international
graduate school of Christian studies.

Submission + - Zapping drones with laser (popsci.com)
Counterterrorist agencies from Washington to London, Moscow to Jakarta, are worrying about the ability of terrorists to use mini-UAVs to scout out attacks, or act as impropmtu bombers
In December 2013, a mapping drone flying near airplane flight paths within the vicinity of the Beijing airport, China mobilized 1,200 troops, two fighter and two helicopters to arrest the drone's three rogue operators. Learning from that experience, a group of Chinese companies has developed a powerful anti-drone laser for use in urban areas
The 10 kilowatt (coincidentally the same output as the initial laser on Lockheed Martin's HEL MD truck) laser can destroy drones flying at speeds of 180km, at ranges of 2km and a 50 meter altitude. The laser relies on electro-optical sensors for targeting; it takes about five seconds to compute a firing solution. These specifications match the needs in the target market of urban law enforcement and military operators
According to a spoke person of the consortium, snipers and drones are less than optimal solutions for dealing with small drones due to operator mistakes
Compared to missiles and anti-air cannons, the laser has a far lower likelihood of causing collateral damage and injury to nearby civilians. The anti-drone laser is light enough to either be installed to protect a fixed position like a stadium or government building, as well as to be mounted on trucks
The anti-drone laser has a perfect record of shooting down over 30 drones in a single test run

Stainless Steel Deck Fuel Fills
My MCOCD has kicked in and I'm looking for a replacement Stainless Steel Fuel Fill for my '88 PS200. Running into trouble finding one for a 1 1/2" hose that has a 3 5/16" dia. Flange like the original chrome unit. Anyone replaced their vintage fuel fills? Where you able to find the same flange diameter?
Check out the online catalog at Hannays. They have saved me before.
http://hannaysmarine.com/ Page 240 and 241 |
man, you got the OCD bug bad!!!!:uglyhamme |
Mike |
2 Attachment(s)
Installed the new Sandvik Stainless Steel Deck fill yesterday. It is 3 3/8" Dia which matched the diameter of the original (original left a circular indentation in the gel coat thus making many replacement units too small to cover the blemish). Beautiful polished finish and has a pop up key.
Maybe here? http://www.marinepartdepot.com/new316ststcl2.html I do know they have some great prices! I am not to the point of buying this stuff yet, need paint first!

Keep in mind that the issues you're seeing with wiggy backgrounds, doubled text and other whatnot are the behavior of Tivo's own text2osd utility, and not the caller-ID itself. When watching recordings or live TV it (usually) works fine.

Keep in mind that the issues you're seeing with wiggy backgrounds, doubled text and other whatnot are the behavior of Tivo's own text2osd utility, and not the caller-ID itself. When watching recordings or live TV it (usually) works fine.
Any one know the background color choices for out2osd? I can change the foreground color but the background stays black no matter what I enter. I would like to have it clear if possible.
Also, anyway to center the text horizontally? I got it vertically at the bottom but I can seem to get it to move to the center of the screen.
Here are my settings, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or if a clear background is possible?
## Default values
declare -i DELAY=10
Here are some of the values I've pulled from the out2osd source "config.c":
Seems you can use hexdecimal values for transparency level+RGB.Code:// for code to extract this from a running TiVo, see
// <URL:http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showpost.php?p=168943&postcount=36>
struct colors colortab[] = {
/* TiVo series 1 and Series 2 colors */
0xff002100, "transparent1", // 0
0xff707070, "grey", // 1
0xff8a8a8a, "white1", // 2
0xff9f9f9f, "white2", // 3
0xffb9b9b9, "white3", // 4
0x55111111, "transparent2", // 5
0xff8e90ad, "blue", // 6
0xff4f6f5a, "green", // 7
0xff25342f, "olive", // 8
0xffe1dda3, "orange", // 9
0xff6d8f97, "turquoise", // 10
0xff59372f, "red3", // 11
0xffadae7c, "yellow", // 12
0xff111111, "black1", // 13
0xaa8a8a8a, "transparent3", // 14
0xff000000, "black2", // 15
Or try the included presets: transparent2 or transparent3
No go, I went through the entire list and the only two that work are black and white. Maybe out2osd is only capable of black or white background???
In fact, these don't seem to work at all. I can change the background to white with
but nothing happens when I try any of these numbers being it
0xff8a8a8a, "white1", // 2
0xff9f9f9f, "white2", // 3
0xffb9b9b9, "white3", // 4
Could it be some of the changes made to make CCID work on Series 2 DT. It didn't work out of the box so I had to folllow the above instructions as if I had a series 3 Tivo.
You seem to be confusing colors defined by different programs. In your case text2osd is used, for the display, so you need to use colors it recognizes. Open a terminal window and execute "text2osd -?" to get the usage and color hints. Usage seems to indicate the only colors you can use are: red, green, blue, white. black.
You use tivoncid in place of tivocid and uni2osd. It uses the same text2osd program for the display, but configuration is done in ncidscript.conf.
Ah, yes that would make a difference. text2osd is Tivo's built-in display utility, and they don't offer many options.
IIRC out2osd stopped working when Tivo released the v8 system software. A shame really, because I remember the semi-transparent fonts/backgrounds which were really nice.
What would the other file be? I know I am using text2osd but what would be the alternative? I would like to test it to see if it will work on mine. I have a S2 and not a S3.
Nevermind, I see it is out2osd which you said in your post. I tried putting the original in my /tvbin/ directory and changing the output line in the out2osd to it instead of text2osd and it doesn't work. Maybe it will be fixed with the new OS release.
NCID version 0.69 has been released.
It includes a new SIP gateway, sip2ncid, to replace ncidsip so Perl is no longer required. VoIP support for the TiVo is available when the package is installed. Check out the Release Notes for other improvements and fixes. This is the first release of sip2ncid in the wild, so there may be some problems.
You should look at the Setup-sip2ncid file on the ncid page, not the home page, to see how to configure sip2ncid and ncidd. The FAQ should also help. The hardest part is that you may have to configure your network and check a couple of SIP Invite ports.
On my home LAN, SIP packets were on port 5061, but are now on port 10000. This is for Vonage using a Linksys RT31P2 router. The computer running sip2ncid had to be in the DMZ zone, in order to receive the SIP packets. Port forwarding did not work.
You need to be very careful if you put a TiVo in a router DMZ zone. Make sure your telnet and ftp is password protected, better yet use ssh.
If anyone uses SIP on the TiVo, please provide feedback giving the VoIP company name, the SIP port, the phone hardware, and the network setup.
I should soon release a package of NCID that uses a package manager to install and update it. It will also contain ssh and other Linux utilities. Adding, removing, and updating packages should be very easy.
For information, see the post http://dealdatabase.com/forum/showpo...6&postcount=62
The main purpose of the release was to fix problems with the SIP gateways and some VoIP systems. It is known to work with 4 different Vontage SIP systems and with Asterisk. It has not worked for Asterisk using a POTS line.
New features were added for VoIP systems: Output calls are logged, if the system provides the information; and a client output module can be called for a hangup after answer, previously it could only be called for a hangup before answer.
See the Release Notes for specific changes.
If anyone is using sip2ncid on the TiVo, please post the particulars of of your system. Here is feedback for 3:
Code:Linksys WRTP54G: used Vonage Talk, SIP packets on port 5060, may need
firmware update if below 1.00., for more information
see http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Linksys+WRT54G
Linksys RT31P2: put computer IP address in the DMZ
Linksys RVS4000: L2 Switch, mirror port 1 to port 2, assumes gateway
is port 1 and computer is port 2

text: I just received the diagnosis of prostate cancer from my urologist on March 25. PSA 4 months ago was 5 and gland felt normal. Then a month ago PSA jumped to 14 and they found a bump during the DRE. Then the biopsy. High Gleason score of 10 indicating aggressive at that spot. I have been checked yearly and at 6 month intervals for 7 years. I sit here 14 days later and still have not had a face to face with the Dr. He is on vacation. I am thinking of just heading to Mayo and get this process rolling. Shouldn't I have had more concern here from my docs to get moving? Or am I impatient? I feel the waiting is killing me and my family. The bone scan is done as well as the CT scan. Bone scan is good, CT shows slightly enlarged lymph nodes in the pelvic area. Could be just swollen. Insurance company denied a further PET scan and now I am waiting again. What an ordeal to deal with and no one seems to be as concerned as me. Any thoughts.

Poll Findings Challenge Ideas of Economic Impact on Political Attitudes, Behavior
Blair Center-Clinton School Poll finds regional, racial differences
Recent news reports suggest that the economic recession may have hurt some groups more than others, particularly African Americans and Latinos. The findings from a poll conducted by two University of Arkansas System entities indicate that while unemployment rates are substantial among African Americans and Latinos, these groups still have surprisingly optimistic views of their economic future.
On the heels of the 2012 presidential election, the Diane D. Blair Center of Southern Politics and Society in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Arkansas and the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service partnered to conduct a comprehensive online national poll of political attitudes and behaviors.
Todd Shields, director of the Blair Center, addressed questions of economic and political attitudes across race and region in the latest analysis of results from the Blair Center-Clinton School Poll. His report, "Economy Across Race and Region: Unemployment fails to dampen positive outlook among African Americans and Latinos" was released today and may be found at the poll's website.
The poll's data shows that while African Americans in the South have been hit hardest by economic factors since the recession, they are by far the most positive group when compared to southern whites, non-southern whites and non-southern African Americans. Conversely, whites in the South, who have been hurt least by the economic downturn, are the least optimistic of the four groups.
"These findings challenge long-held assumptions about the impact of the economy on political attitudes and behaviors and may require scholars and political strategists to reconsider previous approaches during future elections," said Shields. "The findings also suggest that regional differences between and across racial groups continue to be an important reality of contemporary American politics. Despite claims that the South is no longer distinct, there remain substantial differences in the effects and perceptions of the negative economy."
The 2012 Blair Center-Clinton School Polloversampled participants from the southern region of the United States, as well as oversampling African Americans and Latinos, providing unique perspectives on contemporary politics. With more than 3,600 respondents from across the nation, the pollprovides a comprehensive and uniquely accurate perspective on how the country evaluates public figures and current public policies – and how these evaluations vary across race and geographic region. This is the second national poll conducted by the Blair Center. Following the 2010 midterm elections, the Blair Center also conducted a national survey with oversamples of African Americans and Latinos, giving researchers the ability to compare attitudes across time.
"In 2010, southern whites reported 10 percent unemployment, compared to 9 percent in 2012," said Shields. "It isn't a big difference, but it's moving in a positive direction. Further, in 2010, only 18 percent of southern whites reported that they were 'worse off' a year earlier, while in 2012, 30 percent reported being 'better off' now than they were in the previous year. Overall, unemployment improved slightly and more southern whites reported that they are doing better financially now compared to the previous year. Regardless, the percentage of southern whites who believe their financial situation will get worse over the next year rose from 27 percent in 2010 to 31 percent in 2012."
Unemployment percentages are based on respondents who reported that they were "temporarily laid off" and those who were "looking for work." They do not include those who reported not working due to "disability," "retirement" or "other" reasons.
"The story is the opposite for southern African Americans," said Shields. "Their unemployment rate went from 15 percent in 2010 to 18 percent in 2012. Additionally, the percentage of southern African Americans who said they were 'better off' financially last year increased from 19 percent in 2010 to 29 percent in 2012. Despite increases in unemployment and decreases in personal finances, southern African Americans expressed considerable optimism about their future financial situation.
"In 2010, 43 percent of southern African Americans reported that they believed they would be 'better off' next year. In 2012, 52 percent reported that they would be 'better off' next year. By 2012, not only did southern African Americans report the greatest increase in economic expectations since 2010, they were the most positive of all the groups, even when compared to African Americans living outside of the South."
The full report contains comparisons among southern whites, non-southern whites, southern African-Americans, non-southern African Americans, southern Latinos and non-southern Latinos.
"While African Americans, overall, are optimistic about their future economic situations, even in the face of negative unemployment and retrospective evaluations, it is southern African Americans who are uniquely optimistic about their economic conditions in the coming year," said Shields, who also serves as dean of the University of Arkansas Graduate School and International Education.
Additional reports from the Blair Center-Clinton School Poll will be released throughout the year. Future topics include immigration and opinions of African American voters and South vs. non-South attitudes.

About the Partners:
The Diane D. Blair Center of Southern Politics and Society was established in 2001 by an act of U.S. Congress. This research center was named in honor of Diane Divers Blair who taught in the political science department of the University of Arkansas for 30 years. The Blair Center reflects her academic model and strives to approach the study of the American South from a variety of angles, attempting to reveal the undercurrents of politics, history and culture that have shaped the region.
The nation's seventh presidential school, the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service is the first school in the nation to offer a Master of Public Service (M.P.S.) degree, giving students the knowledge and experience to further their careers in the areas of nonprofit, governmental, volunteer or private sector service.

I can agree with this. JPP's our only DE who's doing anything this year. but man, Osi and Tuck have sucked. This is probably our biggest problem going forwards, hopefully when Canty comes back, things improve, which they should.

bunch 'o shock friggin jocks on here
we dont win SB 46 without him ... and ask a team like the Eagles how many 1st round picks they would give up for 1 Lombardi trophy ... im guessing between 5 and 10
Maybe Prince needs to throw him into a cold tub to wake him up :p
Because our defensive line depends on one player only - JPP.
For anyone thinking that JPP has been off his game, e seems to be attacking his man pretty well. It's the rest of the defensive-line that's been awful.
It doesn't take one guy for the defensive-line to be good. When you're rushing one side and getting no help anywhere else(no distribution), JPP will seem like a slacker.
Fair, but I'd spare Tuck from some criticism in comparison to Osi.
I still think Tuck is trying to get some of the "dirty jobs" done (in terms of contain etc.) but Osi strikes me as only being interested in the Hollywood plays that gets him numbers and kudos.
It's a team game and JPP and Tuck are team players, but the point about getting an effective pass rush is valid, especially with the beat up secondary.
That's right, because great players make everyone around them better and clearly the guys around him aren't better!
this was a sarcastic thread title, JPP's still a beast.

Nickel is a better anti-corrosion finish than blueing, and it's harder than chrome, so wear resistance is quite good. However, depending on the plating method used, the nickel is prone to peeling and lifting from sub-surface corrosion and deep scratches or dents. If you look at some pre-WWII plated guns - especially cheaper ones like the Iver Johnsons - you'll see what I'm talking about; these were plated electrolytically. I think S&W guns for the last 20 years or so used the "electroless" nickel plating which adheres better overall, especially on sharp edges.
Carrying and using guns "destroys" their finish, period; the only variable is how quickly. Blued guns wear the fastest, Parkerized (phosphate) is slower, nickel plate is slower still. Your gun's finish isn't "fragile" at all, and will overall need a little less attention than a blued M19. And if (when) the finish does get really ratty-looking, just send it back to S&W and get it re-plated.
Good luck with it!

Software Configuration Management of Oracle eBS
Jan 17, 2013 9:35 PM
Hi All
I am setting up a standard configuration management, build & deployment automation and change & release management process for all types of applications including Oracle eBS, Informatica, Siebel, Cognos, Java etc. As you know, SCM for Java and .Net types of applications are very matured, but not for other types of applications such as Oracle eBS.
Can you give me some hint on how to manage Oracle eBS applications from SCM's perspective? For example,
1. How to version control eBS artifacts?
2. How to build eBS artifacts and then deploy to a new environment?
3. How to manage changes?
We have a standard SCM tool called RTC from IBM, which has version control, build and change control functions.
I have the same question

in response to
Hello Jirong,
I did a lot in the configuration management area related to EBS, in terms of concepts and practical implementations.
I would suggest that you take a look at the following material and afterwards, please contact me to clarify any question you might have.
In terms of technical solutions, I have worked a lot with Oracle AMS (ACMP), different consulting solutions, but also with non-commercial tools. So we will find a solution also together with RTC/IBM.
You can find me in linkedin.

Endurance-focused geometryThe Z5 conquers the longest of rides on the roughest of roads. With endurance-focused geometry and a carbon fibre frame and fork, this bike gives you the sharp handing of a race bike while keeping you strong through grueling climbs and rattling descents. The Shimano 11-speed 105 drivetrain and Felt Road RSL3 wheels will ensure the bike delivers when you need it most. Shimano 105 drivetrainWith an additional gear and a substantial weight saving over its lower end relations, the 105 11 speed groupset offers great mid-range performance. The 105 shifters have the same dual control setup as the top end groupsets and also feature an optical window to show which gear you have selected. Shifting is precise and consistent, right the way through the 11 speed cassette. With its two piece hollow axle design, the 105 Hollowtech II chainset is both stiffer and lighter than a square taper chainset.

The green mountain is truly verdant right now. The rains started in May and now everything is vibrant, alive with water coursing through its veins. Since being back in Monteverde for a little more than a week, Roberto and I have managed to stay mostly dry in the house, though sometimes you just have to go out in the world while the rain is pouring down. Even with ponchos, umbrellas and boots, when the rain is serious you are going to get seriously wet. Many of the downpours are accompanied by rolling waves of thunder which make their way down the mountainside like a freight train rumbling through town. I remember my first year here, in 1990, when I was living in a house higher up the mountain. You could feel the thunder coming down the mountain like an avalanche. In those days we heard the roar from Volcano Arenal's many daily eruptions, something that we don't hear much over here any more. The rolling thunder, the grumbling volcano and the heavy rain pelting down on the zinc roof were all new sounds to me – together they filled every sound space in my head until all I could do was join in and shout along.
I had a close call with my laptop in an electrical storm the other day. I was at the local grocery store with Wolf and Lucky when, in a flash, the light bulbs in the metal ceiling popped loudly, then came a crash of thunder that made us all jump, followed shortly after by another crack of lightning that took out the electronic cash register and the rest of the lights and left us all shaking. Just like that, no warning, a few loud jolts and bolts during what had just been a heavy downpour that didn't hint at any electrical activity. All I could think about was my laptop at home, still plugged in though not connected to the phone line. Lucky and I went on to the Friday afternoon Scrabble game where everyone was sharing their list of the damages that those two minutes of thunder and lightning had caused. Although I knew that Roberto was at home, I didn't imagine that he would think to unplug my laptop (not having electricity nor computers himself, it wouldn't be on his mind) and besides, it happened so quickly that I doubt I could have done anything if at home myself. So I played Scrabble with this low grade worry in my mind, concerned that my cyber-life may have just been cancelled for awhile.
Fortunately, when I finally made it home, the only damage done was to the handheld telephone – notorious for their sensitivity to electrical hits – but my laptop was fine. Huge sigh of relief. The house has another non-electrical phone which keeps us connected but there will be no more sitting outside in the hammock and chatting until Veronica brings back another portable phone.
Wolf came up the mountain the same day that we did, over a week ago. He was a little worn from the two weeks in a hospital bed, the several tests they did on him, and the lack of an appetite for institutional food. So he lost a little weight and was a bit on the weak side. The tests hadn't really proven anything except for the probability that his medications were conflicting with each other and he wasn't taking in enough water (except in the form of coffee.) Lucky has noticed that his short term memory was a little slow, although has improved, and I know from talking to him that his long term memory is just fine. I joke that if Wolf ever does have a stroke, the side effect for him will be sudden clear speech, unlike most folks whose speech becomes garbled under the circumstances.
After bugging him for a couple of years to let me drive his jeep when we head out to do book business in town, and always receiving the same response – "I don't believe in women drivers" – Wolf finally relented and passed me the keys. This is the one thing that his family is trying to get a grip on as his driving is getting precarious, especially in the busy hub of Santa Elena. Unfortunately few of the other Guindons have their licenses and so Wolf continues to feel responsible for picking up groceries and animal feed in town (and the need to go also satisfies his restless soul.) I'm a very experienced and comfortable driver yet I still felt the pressure of his critical eye, but I think I passed the test. The next time I ran into him, leaving the dairy plant parking lot, he just passed me the keys willingly and had me do the driving. Lucky thinks he likes the idea of having a "chauffeur." Whatever his thinking, it is good that he is getting used to the idea of letting others drive.
So except for some tiredness, and as yet not being back up to walking much, and perhaps his spirit being a little deflated by the trials and tribulations of old age, Wolf is doing fine. Everywhere he goes people are so glad to see him ("Wolf's more well-known than poverty," Roberto will say) and he can't help but ham it up which makes him appear even stronger than he is. Certainly the warmth and concern of people toward him is surely helping to restore his spirit.
This last week in Monteverde saw a lot of people leaving the mountain. The Friends School closed for the season. It's on the same schedule as North American schools in contrast to Costa Rican public schools whose big break is December to February, based on the tradition of releasing the kids to help with the coffee harvest. There was a special Wednesday Friends meeting held in the beautiful Bullpen, my own spiritual center in Monteverde (which I've written about several times.)
I got to the gathering a little early, but not earlier than the Guindon clan who live adjacent to the Bullpen. It was a misty kind of day with some warmth from the sun shining through the clouds from time to time. We each found a place, sitting on our ponchos on some spot on the damp ground, backs leaning against the tree trunks, more people arriving from various points out of the surrounding woods. It was like watching a gathering of the gnomes in a magical medieval forest.
The director of the Friends School for the last two years, Annika, and her partner Heather and their two boys were leaving the next day, a new director arriving soon. I met these women last year at the time that we presented Walking with Wolf to the community. The next time I saw Heather, at a potluck at her house, she told me that as she read the book, she was amused to see that I knew of Temagami, Ontario, the beautiful lake and community that I worked and played at for years. She told me that they were avid paddlers and had taken canoe trips along several northern rivers – with names like Missinaibi and Bloodvein that only people who live in the north or have taken a trip on would know. She also mentioned that on two different trips she had run into a man from Temagami, a writer and artist – who turned out to be my old co-activist and bush friend Hap Wilson. Such a small world it always proves to be. And to have bumped into this same man on two separate trips in two totally different areas of the north is mind-boggling.
I haven't been in touch with Hap in several years but had to contact him after that to let him know that his northern ears should be burning. I will be seeing him this September when we all gather on beautiful Lake Wakimika near Temagami for the twentieth anniversary of the Red Squirrel Road blockade that was a mighty political event in our lives (and which I write about in the book.)
So Heather and I bonded over these tales of the glorious north country and now she and her family are headed back to Minnesota and the rocks and lakes and non-tropical forests which have their own special beauty. The meeting and potluck lunch in the Bullpen was their send-off party. The mists swirling in through the trees cloaked them once more with the magic that is Monteverde. As always with potlucks, the combination of contributed foods was divine. Friends and neighbors visited and eventually we all packed up and people headed out to their next activity. The first drops of rain fell just as people started on their way.
In the next pasture over, just a hundred meters through the forest, was a new colt born just three days before. As I went to say goodbye to Helena Guindon, who was also leaving for the US the next day, she said that they were going to see the new colt so why didn't I join them. I said I'd catch up in a minute. There was a little soft rain falling at this point and I put up my umbrella and started down the path through the forest to the Campbell's pasture. I bumped into Sue and John Trostle, on their way out to their car. In the few minutes it took us to walk through the forest that light swirling mist turned to a heavy fog. By the time we emerged out in the pasture, we were shrouded in thick cloud, so that we almost lost sight of each other. The Trostles went one way and I the other, still hoping to bump into Helena and also to see the colt. I could hear voices in the distance but could barely see ten feet in front of me.
I knew which direction to head in, although the fog caused some confusion, and that if I just kept going downhill I would eventually run into the fence running along the road. It was mystical, wandering through the pasture grasses, trees appearing out of the darkness, the voices not that far away but impossible to reach. I guess I could have shouted to them, but being left alone in the mist was too enticing.
I was just getting to feeling disappointed that I wouldn't be able to see the young colt, when out of the thick white wall of fog came the pinto mother and colt, galloping as if to lose someone behind. They almost ran right into me but turned and stopped not far from me, the colt taking the opportunity to feed. We shared a lovely silent moment of peace in the pasture together, I took a couple of pictures and then left them.
Shortly after I bumped into the Trostles again, still making their slow way along the fence line, trying to find the opening that would let them out to where their car was parked. At about that same moment, the rain started down in sheets and after we found the way to their car, I was happy to take a ride with them.
Roberto and I passed a relaxing week here in this great house that Veronica is renting, here on the edge of the forest, very private, quiet except for the bonking of the bellbirds and the occasional barking of the dogs. We are with our little doggy friends, Wilkens, Betsy and Cutie Pie (now called Salchichona for her plump little sausage body.)
The dogs are a part of all food preparations here, they are relentless, but I have to say that they have all improved since I spent a month with them back in January – particularly Betsy the little spotted cow who no longer jumps up and scratches my legs and probably listens better than the other two.
We brought some coconuts and a coconut grater up from Cahuita for a friend here and Roberto has been grating coconuts and making rice and beans and fish in coconut milk. He is an enthusiastic cook and happy to feed me, which makes me happy, but I fear that if I eat too much of this rich, delicious Caribbean food, they'll be calling me Salchichona soon enough.
Tomorrow we leave for San Carlos and my friend Zulay's, before returning in a few days to Cahuita. But I'll be back up here in Monteverde in not too long, having work to do here, and houses to take care of. A nice balance – the hot colorful Caribbean coast and the green misty Pacific side of the Continental Divide here in Monteverde. A lovely life.
My home and the natives' land, Temagami
I am once again writing from the lowlands. I've come to the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. Before I talk about sand and surf however, I want to acknowledge the fact that I missed Canada Day on July 1st. I'm not a flag-waving patriotic type, but I am happy and thankful to be Canadian and remember that no matter where I am, just not necessarily on THE DAY. There have been things that have reminded me however – the odd Canadian flag here in Puerto Viejo, the picture of Tom Wilson on the hamilton365.com website that I follow (Larry Strung's daily photographic diary of Hamilton (my hometown) people in 2008 – I am featured on February 26) If I were to choose a Canadian singer-songwriter who speaks for me of where I live, it would be Tom. He's all attitude, talent, irreverent, and a great entertainer/singer/guitar player/composer. So Larry's choice of him as the Canada Day portrait on his website struck a huge chord with me, one that sounded a lot like the beginning of "Oh Canada"…but I digress (and also stopped writing this…)
More than a week has gone by, and a warm wonderful week it was. I arrived back in Monteverde last night on the bus – amused by the reaction of a couple from New York sitting beside me to the never-ending road. We went up in darkness but you could still see the steep precipices that dropped off to the sides in the shadows. The woman looked horrified – when we got to Santa Elena, I told her to be sure to leave on the 6:30 a.m. bus when they were ready to go, as that is the most beautiful ride back down the mountain. The sun will be coming over the mountain and glimmering on the waters of the Gulf of Nicoya and lighting up the flatlands of Guanacaste – the clouds will be at play all around you, drifting up from the valleys, hovering in the mountains, and tumbling across the lower landscape. And she will truly see what she couldn't in the darkness – the narrow winding road that we just crawled up, alive with milk trucks, tourist buses and other early morning machinery – the whole effect tends to wake you up very quickly. I have noticed this year that there is even more traffic on the roadway and on each bus trip there have been numerous occasions that the bus had to back up to make room so that it could clear the sides of a passing transport truck, or pull off as far to the edge (whatever you do, don't look!) so that some other large vehicle could pass. I've been on the bus much more this year than any other but this is a new phenomena, a sign of the great increase in business and vehicular traffic in Monteverde.
Fortunately the weather up here has been beautiful they tell me. The rains have come as they should, a little downpour each afternoon, but otherwise it is sunny and hot. Bodes well for the beach babe recently returned – it is hard to leave the beach when you like sun and water and lazy days, and returning to cold, wet, windy and busy Monteverde can be a harsh shock. So I appreciate that I can walk out this morning in summer clothes and perhaps not have to think about my rubber boots, umbrella and raincoat till later in the day.
My week on the Caribbean was made up of reunions with three friends, two of whom I hadn't seen in years, hours spent floating in the warm sea and wandering through the shady jungle, a great book (End of the Spear by Steve Saint), and a lot of fish and fresh fruit. The bus ride from San José to Limón and then down the coastal highway to Puerto Viejo was very smooth. You get used to the fact that in Costa Rica the state of the road changes quickly. They get fixed and freshly paved but it doesn't take long before the pavement is washed out and huge potholes appear, forcing vehicles to wind their way slowly around the obstacles. This route had obviously been recently done as we practically flew on a very smooth flight.
You leave the city and go up over the mountain range of Braulio Carrillo National Park where it is always cool and often wet and windy but with spectacular views over the protected forests. The road winds down near Guapiles and from there heads straight and flat across the lowlands, passing over wide rivers and past the endless banana plantations along with the acres of trucking containers that transport the bananas for Dole, Del Monte and Chiquita to places throughout the world. The foliage and landscape change to something mossier and drippier in a different shade of green than the western side of the country. The light is different as well. Coming over the mountains to the Atlantic side of the Costa Rica is like coming into another country without a border crossing. Even the color of people's skin turns a darker brown – this is the Afro-Caribbean province and there is also a noticeable population of indigenous – Talamancas and Mestizos especially.
When I got to Puerto Viejo, I went to the home of my old friend Susana Schik, who appears on one of the last pages of Walking with Wolf, but who hasn't appeared in my life in probably eight or ten years. She used to live in Monteverde, teaching natural history courses, but now does that down in Puerto. She is married to a lovely man, René, and has a very sprightly four-year-old daughter named Hannah. Once Hannah got over her initial shyness with me, our time was spent trading wild cat screams and responses – and this girl can roar! Susana and René care-take some vacation houses along the Black Sands beach on the north side of Puerto and they offered that I could use an apartment that was empty in one of these houses.
Beautiful! I spent three nights with a great balcony, cable TV, phone and very hot shower – more than I've had in most places I've stayed. The only head-shaking part was the amount of locks and barriers involved – every window not only had heavy wooden shutters but iron grates and locks. The doors had deadbolts, the iron grates were double locked. And even then, there were signs that someone had been trying to hack their way past the deadbolt in the few days since Susana had last visited there. She told me not to leave the house less than thoroughly locked up even if I only leave for a few minutes to go to her place or to the store – someone will surely break in. The signs of people trying to get at whatever they can, to share illegally in the obvious wealth that exists for some in Costa Rica, are omnipresent.
I took the local bus through the now-almost-city of Puerto Viejo, full of surfers, rastas, university students on vacation, and locals working in the bustling service industry, to quieter Punta Uva, a few kilometers down the coast. My friend Sarah Dowell, prolific and extraordinary artist, lives there. We have been friends since I came to Monteverde in 1990. She lived in a great funky house with its artistically displayed shell collection (Sarah commented that they collected these shells a few years ago but now have a hard time finding many of these shells – they want to donate this as an exhibit somewhere in the town) up on the mountain. I would go and visit while she painted. This is how she makes her living and so she is quite disciplined about the time she spends painting each day. She works from photographs – of nature, animals, flowers, and various human models she's collected images of. I was a model for her many years ago and get a thrill each time I recognize some part of my anatomy, if not all of me, in a painting. Her paintings are for sale at the Hummingbird Gallery here in Monteverde, where I once worked, and I often stop and visit with the owners and look at the fresh crop of Sarah's water colors. They range from very green jungle scenes with nudes running through the foliage, to underwater sea life, to vibrant exotic flowers. Simply beautiful. Sarah gave me a painting that my likeness is in, standing in a pool at the base of a waterfall along with a nude man (the model was Bill Kucha, another artist). I have shown the painting to a couple of people and they knew that it was me and also know that I would happily be standing nude in a pool of water at the base of any waterfall. So thank you Sarah, for that gift.

Spending several hours in Sarah and her partner Mel's open-air home (a beach version of her Monteverde home) and studio, with her paintings, great coffee, and birds singing and howlers chuckling around the large open windows, talking about anything and everything we could in our attempt to catch up, was time spent in pure enjoyment. At some point, Sarah's grand-daughter, Ashanti, joined us. She is another enchanting four-year-old. We walked down the path to the beach and played in the water. It is always fun to be with a child just learning to swim and who is confident enough to take chances – the only way to learn. Sarah lost her own son, Singer, in a car accident a couple of years ago. She is finally recovering and there is no doubt that having Shanti close by, and the child's mom Connie (who gave me a fantastically relaxing massage on the beach), helps. To have a bit of her son alive in this funny, smart, energetic little girl is another gift.
Sarah and Shanti on the beautiful beach at Punta Uva
We saw a sloth. This is my favorite animal here and this was the first of many I saw this week. I've had many great sloth experiences. The first one I saw my first year here was on this coast, a dead one, washed up after a few days of terrible rains that had no doubt knocked down the tree that the sloth was in and washed the poor animal out to sea. My Tico friend, Macho, and I came upon it, this peaceful looking creature seemingly asleep on the beach, curled up like a baby, all covered in a fine coating of green – these animals live their lives in the trees, and are basically mammalized containers of chlorophyll. This poor little guy was very dead – I wanted to take pictures, they would have been beautiful, but Macho was appalled that I would take pictures of the dead, even an animal, and so we moved on (as I recall, it also involved returning to the cabin to get my camera – which was more of a problem than his reluctance).
Another time I protected a sloth as it slowly ran through downtown Cahuita very late at night. While the fiesta rages on in the bars, the sloths often make their way through town, holing up in the trees of the park, then making a "run" for it to get to the next bunch of trees. Well, if you have ever seen a sloth move, you want to pick them up and help them along. It is a silent movie slowed down to almost pause. But I can always imagine the inside of their little leaf-filled brains screaming, "run, man, run – I'm outa here", even as their long arms and legs slowly move them along the ground. That particular night, I fended off the drunken boys who wanted to harass the poor creature, and walked with him till he got safely back into the shadows. Gary Larsen, the cartoonist, has a great drawing called "what sloths do when no-one is around" – which shows a very happy sloth boogie-ing on the ground to the music from a boombox – and I identify with that. We tend to have ideas of how others live by how they appear – and we never really know what happens when the doors are shut, the lights are off, and there is no one else around.
These are turtle tracks, the mama come out of the sea to lay her eggs…could be tractor tracks come to dig up the beach…we spent awhile raking the tracks away so noone would find the nest and steal the eggs.
The amount of growth in Puerto Viejo is staggering – as in so many parts of the country. The issue of concern now is the proposal to build a large marina. The original concept was for 400 slots! That would bring an immense amount of traffic off the seas into this already bursting town. They have downsized it to one hundred berths and even that will make a disaster of the reef, the sea, and the community. I didn't spend a lot of time investigating this – I just look at development as it has occurred in so many parts of this little country and see that the planning has been haphazard, the execution swift, and the result often devastating to many, while obviously profitable to others. Of course, there is that idea of not stopping progress, but there is also that big question "is this really what you call progress?" Hmmmmm…
I left Puerto and went half an hour up the road to my old stomping grounds of Cahuita. There has always been a huge difference between these two neighbouring communities. People tend to be either a Cahuita person or a Puerto person (like red and black beans I guess). Back in 1990 I spent a week in Cahuita and fell in love with it – and then traveled down to Puerto for one night before quickly returning to Cahuita. Whatever the differences were then, they are more obvious now – Puerto Viejo has grown immensely and stretches over a large area and it is busy with a surfer-dude subculture due to the legend of the Salsa Brava wavebreak (even though I think it was negatively affected by an earthquake years ago that shifted the coral reef) – Cahuita is smaller and more laid back with an older crowd moving slower. In Cahuita everything takes place in a very small area – the two main bars for beer or dancing are beside each other and the beautiful white sandy beach and National Park is two blocks away. You can stay in a pension, walk two minutes to any restaurant for Caribbean food, dance, shop, and walk along the shady path that follows the beach until you get to the quiet waters where you can float or swim lazily. I always spend a lot of hours on that beach in the shade of the trees when I'm not afloat in the warm water of the Caribbe.
I have known many characters in this town – some pretty unsavory, others classic Caribbean. I won't get into what I have seen and witnessed over the years, for without explanation I know it all sounds rough. But being on the Atlantic is a very different culture than in other parts of Costa Rica – one that is very laid back up until there is a problem between people, then it can be very aggressive. As long as you don't put yourself in the middle of anything, you have no worries. The drug trade has affected this coast perhaps more than other parts of the country (though all of Costa Rica has become a clearing house for Columbian cocaine and marijuana). It is not far across the sea from South America to this coastline and people work at making money in their nefarious ways. Unfortunately, you also see the affects on the people themselves of a poor economy mixed with cheap drugs and the opportunity to make a fast buck. I've seen the result on many friends on both coasts who have fallen to the constant fiesta. But these temptations are part of life all over Costa Rica, as well as in many other parts of the world. And you can either focus on that and reject the place, or appreciate the other aspects of the Caribbean culture, the warmth of the people, the spice of the food, the relax of life stewed in coconut juices.
In short order, I bumped into my old friend Roberto. We go way back, a history of love, friendship, and conversation. There is a famous song written by a Cahuitan calypsonian, Walter Ferguson, called "Cabin in the Water." My friend Manuel Monestel and his group Cantoamerica play and have recorded this song (Walter himself recorded it, finally, at the age of 83) – it tells the story of Bato, a man who built himself a simple cabin in the water off of the beach and was living there when Cahuita National Park was created. The administrator of the park came and told him, "Bato, you can't live here, this is now a National Park." He held his own for a long time but eventually moved up to another beach. Bato was a very interesting man. If you came across him in his hammock on the beach, you'd think he was just the marine equivalent of a street person – but he was actually a very intelligent, poetic philosopher. He knew what was going on in the world. I knew Bato through the 90s when I spent a lot of time here (he died about six years ago) and would go and sit and visit with him. Even as an old man, he never lost his ability to attract females, even young ones, and was quite the charmer. But my business with him was talking – listening to his tales and his ideas, told in his lilting Caribbean patois. I was always amazed how his home changed – one year I would arrive and his house would be a construction as big as a castle, built by driftwood, flotsam and jetsam that had washed up from huge storms. He would have walls, roof, tables, bed (although still sleep in his hammock) and decoration. The next time I came, the sea would have taketh away, and he was back to the simplicity of his hammock, maybe starting with another table assembly from fresh driftwood. He was a man who chose to live life with little money and less possession, but still lived. He wasn't always a nice man, but he was an interesting one. And my friend Roberto is his son.
Roberto Levey grew up in Cahuita, was on his own by the time he was fourteen years old, and moved to San José where he became a shoemaker. He came back after twenty years to Cahuita and lived in a little casita a few minutes walk from town. When I met him in 1994, he was a fisherman and sold organic fruits from the trees on his land. A rasta with a life time growth of dreads on his head, he lived a very earthy life by the sea. I was charmed by his kindness and his positive energy and his humor, but truly impressed with his intelligence. He sang in local reggae and calypso bands and wrote poetry. His house had his own graffiti all over it. He was a friend to me and my old boyfriend, Macho, and we often camped in his yard and he fed us breadfruit and akee. Nothing was sweeter in Cahuita than lounging in his hammock and listening to him reciting poetry or talking politics or explaining the Caribbean culture which was very different from anything I knew. As I got to know his father, I could see the genetics, even though Roberto had never lived with him. He inherited his father's way of viewing the world and living his life, with a minimum of money and a whole lot of interest in what made the world go around and a great sense of humor about even the ugliest of human behavoir.
Women easily fall in love with him, as I did, and he has children on three continents. The phenomena of foreign women coming to exotic places and getting pregnant by, sometimes marrying, perhaps taking the local boys home is easy to criticize but more complicated in its effect on both the beach men and the foreign women. Roberto is not happy that he has five children who live far away from him – as they get older, they will no doubt reappear in his life, or at least some probably will. In the meantime, their father continues to live his life just as his father before him did, under the shade of tropical trees, to the rhythm of the calypsonians, holding on to the idea that love and peace are worthy goals. I saw Roberto a couple of years ago and he was in a very hurting state, his heart once again broken and so he was surviving by medicating himself – at the time I could only admonish him, tell him that he was worth so much more, plead with him to get it back together, and leave him with the hope that he would come through this horrible period. When I arrived this year, I knew that he was back to himself, smiling, thinking, warm and relaxed. He had bought a little piece of jungle a short walk out of Cahuita and was living, just like his father, off the land, making just enough money by selling produce when he needed to, and living in his own peace.
I told him that I'd like to give him a copy of Walking with Wolf as long as he'd read it and he said he was very interested. So as I floated in the sea, I'd look up and see him reading and when I came out of the water, he'd talk about what he had been reading, asking questions and expressing his own take on some line I'd written or statement of Wolf's. It was as pleasant of an intercourse about the book as I've had with anyone. If you saw Roberto, his heavy head of dreads tied up over his 55-year-old face with white beard, his clothes smelling of the wood stove he cooks on, and his poverty obvious, you'd probably assume he was just another pothead with too much party going on and little to live for. And once again, you'd have judged the man quite differently from his reality. I spent a morning sitting by the stream outside his jungle shack and the conversation never bored or stalled. I felt privileged to have been invited to Roberto's home in the jungle.
Sarah Dowell is anxious to return to Monteverde, in a large way because of the level of thinking and depth of conversation that exists throughout this community. She repeated a line from a Bill Bryson book that says "the cheery vacuity of beach life", and she is dying from that particular virus. But in my week on the beautiful sands of the Caribbean, spent with Sarah, Susana and Roberto, I never lacked for intelligent conversation and intriguing analysis of life and society. Maybe I'm just lucky in the people I know, yet often they are not at all what they appear to be. Fortunately I've learned to look past the color or state of the paint on peoples' houses and that ability has led to some of the richest experiences of my life.

Fifteen Best Concerts During Art Basel Miami Beach 2012
Most art is silent. Even during Basel week.
That's why we here at Crossfade -- an admittedly hopeless gaggle of noise junkies -- just can't get through the week without offsetting our 12-hour days at the art fairs with 12-hour nights at Miami's hipster bars, rock dives, and downtown concert halls.
So if you're similarly afflicted by an out-of-control addiction to tuneage, let us rendezvous at these fifteen best concerts during Art Basel Miami Beach 2012.
