in reply to Re^2: Are we a dying breed?
in thread Are we a dying breed?

Perl is not taught in colleges because it's not a good teaching language. You learn a programming language at school because it demonstrates techniques and features that the teacher thinks you need to know about. Java, C, assembler, Prolog, Scheme, all of those demonstrate certain features clearly and so are useful pedagogical tools. Perl does not, and so is not.

Re^4: Are we a dying breed?
by Anonymous Monk on Nov 11, 2005 at 19:04 UTC
    "techniques and features that the teacher thinks you need to know about"

    Unless we are saying that all those people made that same decision independently were wrong and stupid, otherwise you have just provided very good hint why Perl is dying. It was (notice the past tense I am using) not killed by buzz words, but killed its lack of structure and feature.

      New programmers, including a big chunk of those in college/university, need discipline more than they need Perl. Not all of them can find discipline on their own.

      College tends to teach discipline first (Fortran, Pascal, Java), and then cover more freeform languages like C, Perl, and Lisp.

      I can imagine how many CS dropouts there would be if the first language taught was whitespace, or even Conway's Game of Life (yes, it seems to be Turing complete, if exasperatingly large and slow).

      Last I checked, they don't teach sex in college either (well, not in most of them, anyway), but sex isn't dying out. And they don't not teach sex because there's something wrong with sex -- there are other reasons^Wexcuses not to teach it.

      ...lack of structure and feature...
      Perl has plenty of structure. Perhaps "lack of structure" is confused with "TIMTOWTDI". I would say Java has structure -- too much for my liking. When a language forces me to write constructs in a certain way because the language designer thought it was a universal requirement, ...well, let's just say I have a requirement for said language designer. Imagine a sculptor's frustration if s/he was required to work only with bricks -- stone just "didn't have enough structure", at least, according to some camps.

      Features? What is Perl missing that some other language has in spades? Can it be added in? Do we want it in? I'm aware of certain classes of tasks it does worse at than certain other languages, and how to work around that. I'm also aware of the accelerated development cycle that Perl lends itself to over most other languages.

      Finally, you left out the low volume of new books and other material, compared with "flavor of the day" C, PHP, and anything Micro$oft. M$ is particularly bad, because they will fund book efforts so they can sell more software. What bean counter in his right mind would choose to use software where the primary book titles from 10 years ago are still valid purchases? Why not choose some hot new language based on the number of new releases on Amazon? At least there will be a lot of entry level programmers, right? (And entry level programmers get paid less than experts, right?)

      (I must admit, I saw little reason to buy the last 2 editions of the camel book, since my first edition still does everything I need. Of course, I might want something that's not more dog-eared than a flea circus train wreck for the authors to sign at the next barn-raising.)

      I don't recall my C books being that useful. Heck, I have to have a special book just to find out how to run C on my machine -- the college textbook I have didn't tell me that!!!

      If Perl or any other language dies off, it will be because of apathy and ignorance, not passion. But I do know, and I do care.

      Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of

        What bean counter in his right mind would choose to use software where the primary book titles from 10 years ago are still valid purchases?

( #3333=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Generally and generically speaking, I would recommend that “you should use the interpreter that is most-native to your particular operating system, which should be the one that is most-native to your hardware.”   If you are running a modern-day 64-bit microprocessor, you (so to speak ...) “owe it to that microprocessor” to be running an OS that expects what it can give.   And, in such an environment, you should run an application that is truly designed for it.

“Naturally, there are exceptions,” and an entirely-justifiable example of such an exception would be a legacy library that is mission-critical but that has not yet caught up with the 21st Century.   You would perhaps consent to run a 32-bit interpreter for this compelling reason alone.   But you would be anxious for the inevitable future, panting for the day when it finally arrives.

    Read the previous responses you already have which explain how to install this module. If you have problems be specific as to what they are (How do I post a question effectively?). Sys::Statistics::Linux is now at version 0.66, note the change to provide backward comparability for Perl lower than v5.10. The version you are installing has problems, and is a couple of years out of date.

in reply to Moose - inner/augment a misfeature?
in thread Moose - two augmented methods in one class

Ultimately it would be nice if we could make it work properly, but that might be too much to ask from a library. However I will let the current maintainers chew on it a little and see if they can fix it (crazier sh*t has been pulled off in the past).

I think moving to a MooseX:: is probably too extreme and would seriously break backwards compat, and as I said, it works in simple cases. If nothing more, it would require a loooooooong deprecation cycle. So perhaps the better approach is more a matter of documentation updates that better explain the caveats.

Thankfully, only a small percentage of people actually grok this feature and of those people only a handful of them are crazy enough to try and use it.

Two Egg Scandals in One Week in Western Australia

Posted on by PETA Australia

More and more compassionate Australians are aware of the cruel reality behind egg production and turning to plant-based alternatives to eggs. So consumer outrage is hitting boiling point in Western Australia after two egg producers made headlines for abusing chickens in the same week.

Federal Court Condemns ‘Free Range’ Egg Producers

On 18 May, it was reported that the Federal Court found Snowdale Holdings – one of Australia’s biggest egg producers and one of Western Australia’s largest supermarket suppliers – guilty of mislabelling eggs as “free range”.

Greens animal-welfare spokesperson Lynn MacLaren stated:

It was alleged that Snowdale Holdings housed more than 100 times the number of hens per hectare than the 1500 recommended by CSIRO animal welfare guidelines.

Despite this, the company continued to label many of its eggs “free range”.

A Sun City News investigation in 2014 found “thousands of dead chooks, discarded eggs, tonnes of dumped chicken manure plus hundreds more chooks that appear to be in very poor condition.”

Live Chickens Discarded Like Rubbish

Just days after the guilty verdict was handed down to Snowdale Holdings, this shocking video exposed another Western Australia egg producer – Forrestdale Farm Fresh Eggs – throwing live chickens into a skip:

An RSPCA spokesperson confirmed that an investigation into this facility is now underway.

Not Isolated Incidents

Unfortunately, treating live chickens like rubbish is par for the course in the egg industry. On many egg farms like the one at Forrestdale, hens are crammed into filthy, stinking sheds with thousands of other chickens, only to be killed when they are about 2 years old.

Egg-laying chickens

Hens often still have parts of their sensitive beaks cut off with a hot blade, and male chicks are suffocated to death or ground up alive because they are of no use to the egg industry.

The dumpster shown in the video probably provided the birds with the most space they’ve had during their whole lives and was likely the first place many were able to spread their wings, or what was left of them.

The only way to ensure we’re not supporting this kind of abuse is simply not to purchase eggs. Not only is the egg industry bad news for chickens, it’s also bad news for our health.

Treating Peyronies Disease With Exercises

Exercise Techniques that Help With Peyronies Disease

You will have no doubt read about the various drugs, natural supplements and devices that can help reduce and even clear the effects of Peyronies disease, but did you know that its quite possible Unknown-1to break down these hardened plaques and reduce penile curvature just by using your own hands??

The specialists behind Penis Health do, and they have developed a series of simple exercises and massage techniques that when performed several times a week, can with only 8-10 minutes effort on your part help to gradually break down and disperse hardened plaques, leaving you with a straighter, often visibly longer and most definitely stronger penis.

The Penis Health Exercise System

The basics for this exercise program stems back hundreds if not thousands of years to ancient arabic tribal cultures. They developed an ancient form of these exercises and the process was (and still is) double-hand-length-6_lrgcalled Jelqing.

Commonly used to prepare young males for sexual relationships, Jelqing involves a series of stretching and massaging movements that stimulate blood flow to the penis, helping to strengthen the internal cells and blood vessels.

The people behind Penis Health have taken these ancient exercises and adapted them with modern techniques to develop their range of exercise and massage techniques that help to promote penile health, breaking down any plaque deposits, reducing curvature and helping to strengthen erections.

How Can I Get These Exercises

Penis Health operate a fully functioning website, you have two choices, you simply join up online (the fees are a one off payment for lifetime membership).

power-stretch-5_lrgYou can choose from online access only – this means that you can access and follow the exercise video routines from any computer and/or mobile device wherever you are in the world – all you need is a decent broadband connection.

If you prefer to follow the video exercises at home on your larger screen TV, you can pay a little bit more and get the full system on a DVD along with the online access.

How To Get Penis Health Exercises For Free

The full Penis Health system is also supplied free with the Size Genetics Traction Device. The exercises are the perfect and recommended accompaniment for the device, and both help each other to speed and enhance the results.

How Much Does The Penis Health Exercise System Cost

Penis Health Costs just £35.17 ($54.95) for online only membership,  The package with both the online access and the physical DVD costs £47.97 ($74.95)

You will also get access to the members forum where they can share experiences, ask and answer questions from men in the same situation as you.

    PHAIWA has now produced seven WA Indigenous Storybooks, the most recent focussing on the Perth/Peel region of WA. The past funders of the books include The Government of Western Australia and Healthway. Healthway has provided futher funding for another three editions of the storybook which focusses on showcasing the many positive community based projects occurring in rural and remote Indigenous communities and celebrating people who are contributing to the social, economic, health and environmental outcomes for their people.

    PHAIWA believes story telling is a creative avenue to disseminate information to many people in a user friendly and non-threatening way. In this project, Indigenous practitioner’s stories will be shaped by their personal history, biography, gender, social class, location and those of the people in the setting/story. These stories will hopefully encourage change in how public health projects are planned, delivered and disseminated through directly with the storytellers in supporting them to publish and present their stories, or indirectly through communities and partners who read a story and consider it replicable in their own settings.

    The storybook aims to:

    • embrace a holistic view of health. Stories will be drawn from the health sector but also from many sectors outside of health – such as education, employment, housing, environment, transport, animal management, sport and recreation, alcohol and drugs and many others.
    • showcase community based programs that could be replicated in other communities to improve or influence the many social determinants of health. Many stories will highlight that local solutions are often the most effective.

    PHAIWA has formed an overarching Steering Committee to oversee the concept and to assist with recruiting storytellers. The first Storybook which focused on the Kimberley region was launched in October 2011. The second edition which focused on the Perth and Peel Regions was launched in August 2012. The third book contained stories collected from the Golfields/Esperance and Great Southern regions. The fourth was on the Mid-West and Pilbara region and the fifth book took us back to the Kimberely region. The sixth edition was on stories from the Gascoyne region and the latest edition, which we will be launching later this month, brings us back to the Perth/Peel region.

Lee’s DL Stay Longer than 15 Days

Cliff Lee said he was still feeling discomfort in his left elbow after being reexamined by the team on Monday. It appears his disabled list-stint will last longer than the minimum 15 days. The team will reevaluate their star pitcher again later this week.

Lee told the media “They decided to let me wait until I have no symptoms to start throwing. I pretty much agree with that and it makes sense.”

This hurts the Phillies two-fold.

As they attempt to tread water and keep pace with the wild card leaders, doing so without their ace will prove to be a daunting task.

As they near the trade deadline, Lee represents their best trade chip. However, the longer this lingers, the less and less he’ll be able to fetch the Phillies in return should he OK a trade to a contending team.

  1. Lefty

    May 27, 2014 at 12:41 pm

    From MLBTR

    -Perhaps of greater interest (and perhaps to the dismay) of Phillies fans, is the following quote from Amaro: “I don’t know if we’ll completely ‘sell’ ever. We can revamp, but we can’t completely sell out. We have to have a contending team in 2015 or ’16 — or at least a competitive team.”-

    • Skylar0201

      May 27, 2014 at 12:54 pm

      This is because Amaro is still in love with the 2008 team so he’s keeping players from it after they go well beyond their prime.

      I said it then and I’ll say it again: his worst mistake are all these multi-year contracts he has dished out. We’ll never be able to unload these overpaid stars because outside of Amaro, nobody else in their right mind wiuld want any of them outside of Lee and maybe Utley.

      When Amaro said last winter after our 3rd staight sliding season that he was tendering contracts to Kendrick and Mayberry; without even negotiating them, that displayed his competence perfectly.

      • Lefty

        May 27, 2014 at 1:29 pm

        That’s a familiar and common take. My only problem with it is that I don’t believe Major League Baseball General Managers can afford to be motivated by “love” of players. I do think that Ruben Amaro is motivated by keeping his family fed, much more so than by his loyalty to former players.

        I also think there may be truth in some of what you said. I think in his zeal too keep his job, Amaro has kept players past their prime because that is what the ownership team as a whole has asked him to do. I think he knows how to keep his job. Just my opinion mind you.

    • Scotty Ingerton

      May 27, 2014 at 1:08 pm

      That’s pretty much been Amaro’s mantra over the past few seasons. The 2015 & 2016 teams will be just as “competitive” as the 2012-2014 teams.

      It’s time to seriously explore moving Utley, Lee (if healthy), and Hamels. They’ve all been great players, but this team won’t be a contender within the next four or five seasons, and they’re the only guys with real trade value.

      • Hogey's Role

        May 27, 2014 at 1:44 pm

        Utley isn’t going anywhere unless he wants to, he has a no trade clause…

        As a whole, and a healthy whole, this doesn’t look like a terrible team, but slumps and injuries have hurt us, so we sit where we’re at… I don’t see us trading hamels and I am about 90% sure we probably will not deal cliff lee again…. Most trades rarely work out for the team that recieves prospects…

      • Scotty Ingerton

        May 27, 2014 at 1:57 pm

        They all have no trade clauses, which doesn’t mean they can’t/won’t be traded. I suspect that all three of those guys would like to see the post season again before their careers end. It’s not going to happen here.

        As far as prospects, I’d take my chances on an Oscar Taveras or Joc Pederson anytime. It’s worth the chance, because this team isn’t contending anytime soon.

      • Lefty

        May 27, 2014 at 2:14 pm

        Lee for Tavares is a real good deal for the Phillies, maybe a little too good to actually happen though.

      • Hogey's Role

        May 27, 2014 at 2:18 pm

        Never gonna happen

      • Scotty Ingerton

        May 27, 2014 at 2:36 pm

        It could happen if the Phillies picked up most of the money owed to Lee. At this point, why wouldn’t they? It’s a sunk cost. The Cardinals already have a logjam in the OF at the big league level, and have Tavares, Piscotty, and Grichuk waiting in the wings. Meanwhile, the Phillies outfielder of the future is ?????

      • George

        May 27, 2014 at 2:43 pm

        The Cards have an outfield surplus, but with their present staff, they certainly don’t need another pitcher, and especially not an aging pitcher with a contract the size of Cliff Lee’s.

      • wbramh

        May 27, 2014 at 2:53 pm

        Scotty: There are currently 4 teams in the AL West alone who have a shot at a pennant and probably 8 or 9 who will probably still be within a a game of each other come September…10 if the Red Sox recover from their terrible start (as the Dodgers accomplished last year).

        If one or two of those teams, notably the Yankees and Angels, believe Cliff Lee could mean the difference between a pennant and going home, or will send them deeper into the playoffs, I believe they’ll be happy to both offer the Phillies top prospects and pay for all or most of his salary.

        Just my opinion, of course but adding Cliff will be hard for many of the top tier teams to turn down, especially considering the rash of injuries to starters.

  2. George

    May 27, 2014 at 2:37 pm

    My opinion: the fans always seem to think Lee would bring back a ton of good prospects. I think that’s wishful thinking. He’s agin, has now shown a sign of that aging with his recent elbow problem, and he still is owed a lot of money. Teams are no longer as interested in giving up millions of dollars and their future prospects in hopes of winning it all now; they’ve wised up to the fact that the postseason is largely a matter of chance.

    In Lee’s case, I think it’ll be a matter of either eating some money or losing out on the very best prospects. There will be teams who want him, but will want him only on their own terms.

    • Scotty Ingerton

      May 27, 2014 at 2:55 pm

      It’s one prospect, not “a ton of good prospects”. If you have a chance to get a top 5 prospect (Taveras), yes you pick up 90% of Lee’s money. It’s a no-brainer. They’re not winning with Lee this year. They’re not winning with Lee in 2015. They’re not winning with Lee in 2016.

      • George

        May 27, 2014 at 3:23 pm

        Maybe you think it’s only one, but I’m sure there are people who think it’ll be a ton, based simply on what used to happen a few years back.

        Personally, I believe Taveras is a huge injury risk. Amaro would be an idiot to pay out most of Lee’s money to the Cards so Taveras could rot on the DL.

        And I also think even one great prospect will be hard to grab given Lee’s age and contract.

        My point, in case you missed it, is that too many people place an unrealistic value on Lee. Your “one prospect” and “if they pick up 90%…” statements is really simply agreeing with what I said about his worth.

      • George

        May 27, 2014 at 3:29 pm

        I also said any trade will be on the other team’s terms. Wouldn’t eating 90% of Lee’s contract be “other team’s terms?”

  3. George

    May 27, 2014 at 2:39 pm

    “agin” should read “aging.”

  4. wbramh

    May 27, 2014 at 2:40 pm

    It was much easier in the days of Branch Rickey to trade a player for future value. Now, with the vesting of durable veterans it ‘s not so easy to trade a player “one year too early” as was Rickey’s mantra. A GM has to consider moving perfectly good pieces at least two years early and/or stock the club with one-year contracts to avoid tying up good money on bad investments. Unless you’re Cashman and you’re fine with paying the maximum luxury tax penalty year after year (since around 2001).

    While the Red Sox have been willing to follow the Yankees into debt they know they can’t compete for the top FAs in the long run and have smartly developed their farm system. The Dodgers, on the other hand, now have a lot of money and very fine crop of fine talent emerging from within their organization. With the right people by the helm, I believe they are destined to become the next great dynasty in the National League.

    Certainly, if the As, Brewers and Cards can turn out a good to great product in today’s baseball world, the Phillies can build a competitive team even easier… but will they? IMO, not if their front office truly believes they can cobble together a another championship from the meat left on the bones of old legends.

    • George

      May 27, 2014 at 3:10 pm

      I’m not real sure the front office really believes they can “cobble together” anything with what’s left. It’s more like they know they’ll have to, because there’s probably not enough meat on those bones for anyone else to be all that interested.

      The Phils are pretty much stuck right now, and I blame it not so much on aging veterans as the inabilty of the scouting department to find good prospects. It’s not the Utleys and Lees that have brought this year’s team down, it’s the Browns and other younger players. One can say that Amaro traded off too many prospects, but one could also say that most of those prospects wouldn’t have helped much. I’ve yet to figure out why so many Phils draft choices don’t make the grade, or only rise to bench warming spots when teams like the Cards seem to pull players out of thin air.

  5. Lefty

    May 27, 2014 at 3:23 pm

    Clearly, according to the quote above, they are not going to do a major sell off. But they might consider a single piece like Lee, if he would approve. But that’s the other obstacle.

    Lee stated that he picked to play here over the teams like the Yankees both because he thought he could win here, and also because his wife and family felt comfortable living here. Based on his actions in the past, I’m not sure Lee would be willing to make his family to move, or move away from them, even to win a championship. Only one way to find out I guess, – ask him.

  6. Terry

    May 27, 2014 at 6:52 pm

    Still not sure why everybody thinks letting Utley, Rollins, Ruiz ans such is the key to being competitive. In my opinion the bullpen is the real key to the downward slide of the team. If the pen could have held 1/2 the games the blew last year we were looking at a potential post season chance. Do you seriously want to wait another 5 years for prospects to possibly pan out with a few more veteran signings to make up for trades. The one thing I do agree with is Howard has not been worth the money tome or effort

  7. bacardipr

    May 27, 2014 at 6:58 pm

    I already figured something like this happen. But yeah i t will hurt any possible trade possibilities. This probably can turn into Halladay Part Deux come next year.

  8. teejayvee

    May 27, 2014 at 7:23 pm

    There is not one player on this team other than Utley and Hamels, that any other team would be willing to give up major pieces for, and that includes a healthy Lee.

    • schmenkman

      May 27, 2014 at 8:31 pm

      Rollins has been the second best shortstop on the planet overall so far this year (although far behind Tulo), so there may be some interest there as well.

  9. teejayvee

    May 27, 2014 at 10:57 pm

    No team will trade major pieces of their farm system for Rollins

  10. Hogey's Role

    May 27, 2014 at 11:10 pm

    Lol utley Rollins Ruiz Howard hamels lee… Those guys are going absolutely nowhere, news flash everybody

Vick, McNabb and the deep ball

Michael Vick was among the elite in throwing the deep ball in 2010. (Yong Kim/Staff file photo)

The Eagles' 2010 season ended on a Michael Vick pass intended for rookie wide receiver Riley Cooper about 32 yards from the line of scrimmage.

Packers cornerback Tramon Williams leaped, picked it off and Green Bay was on its way to winning the Super Bowl.

While Vick's final deep ball was one he probably wishes he had back, overall, he was one of the league's better QBs at finding receivers downfield.

Pro Football Focus took a look at every quarterback in the league and evaluated how effectively they threw the deep ball - defined as passes that went 20 yards or more. Vick completed 41.5 percent of those throws, which was sixth-best in the NFL last season. The top five might surprise you: Vince Young, David Garrard, Matt Schaub, Philip Rivers and Drew Brees.

Vick took shots downfield more often than every quarterback except for Young. Sixty-five of his 408 attempts (15.93 percent) went 20 yards or more downfield.

Overall, he was intercepted five times on deep balls for an INT rate of 7.69 percent, which was middle of the pack. Eleven quarterbacks were intercepted more often than Vick on the deep throws.

By all accounts, with the help of DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin, Vick was one of the better big-play quarterbacks in the league last season. His 8.11 yards per attempt ranked fourth, and Vick completed 48 passes that gained 20+ yards, which ranked eighth. That second number is even more impressive, considering he was only one of two quarterbacks in the top 10 (Ben Roethlisberger) that attempted fewer than 400 passes.

I went back and looked at how Vick's big-play numbers compared to Donovan McNabb's over the years. How much has the passing offense changed with the addition of Jackson and Maclin?

Keep in mind that the following numbers are different from the ones above on Vick, which looked at balls that went 20 yards or more downfield.

The numbers below are plays that gained 20+ yards. In other words, if Jackson caught a screen near the line of scrimmage and took it for a 22-yard gain, that's counted. So look at the numbers below as more of a snapshot of the offense's identity than Vick's deep ball vs. McNabb's deep ball.

The first column in the following chart is pretty simple: yards per attempt. In the second column, instead of looking at total pass plays of 20+ yards, I looked at percentage of total pass attempts that were completions of 20+ yards, comparing Vick in 2010 to McNabb throughout his Eagles career.

  YPA Pct. 20+ plays
 Vick in 2010  8.1  12.9%
 McNabb in '09  8.0  12.4%
 McNabb in '08  6.9  9.1%
 McNabb in '07  7.0
 McNabb in '06
 8.4  13.9%
 McNabb in '05
 McNabb in '04
 8.3  10.7%
 McNabb in '03
 6.7  9.2%
 McNabb in '02
 McNabb in '01
 6.6  8.9%
 McNabb in '00
 5.9  7.9%

The first season that stands out is 2004. Terrell Owens had 20 receptions of 20+ yards that year, and Todd Pinkston averaged 18.8 yards per reception, third-best among receivers with at least 35 catches.

I was surprised to find that in 2006, McNabb had a higher yards per attempt number than at any other time in his career, and it was higher than Vick's in 2010 too. That year, Reggie Brown and Donte' Stallworth combined for 29 catches that gained 20+ yards, just five fewer than Jackson and Maclin in 2010. Brian Westbrook and L.J. Smith chipped in with nine apiece. And Hank Baskett averaged 21.1 yards per catch on 22 receptions.

It should be no surprise that the numbers have been up the past two seasons with Jackson and Maclin. I mentioned above that they combined for 34 plays of 20+ yards in 2010. And they combined for 29 of them in 2009.

One major difference in the past two seasons has been Brent Celek. He had 16 catches fo 20+ yards in 2009 (tied for 10th in the NFL), but only eight in 2010.

It's amazing, though, how similar Vick and McNabb's numbers were in these two categories the past two seasons.

Barring injuries, the Eagles will return the exact same set of offensive skill players in 2011. Assuming pass protection holds up, expect the Birds to once again count on the deep ball next season (or whenever football returns).

What's the cost of keeping a criminal charge in the system?

(Clem Murray / Staff Photographer)

Something we'd been wondering after reading Sunday's Inquirer story about the city dropping charges against 19,400 fugitives: We understand why Philadelphia wouldn't want to actively pursue these old cases. That would take time and resources away from chasing down people who law enforcement knows are committing crimes now. But does that necessarily mean that charges against them need to be dropped? Let's say you pick someone up for something today, and he still has his outstanding charge from 1976 -- now you can prosecute that. Does just keeping the charges on file actually cost anything -- does it actually clog the justice system, as Chief Justice Ronald Castille told the Inquirer?

Elmer Smith caught up with District Attorney Seth Williams and asked this very question:

How, I asked him, does not going after people that police weren't going after anyway help unclog the system?

"I hear you," Williams said, conceding the point. "But the state Supreme Court urged us to do it. I've got to be a team player on this."

Now maybe the clogging Castille is concerned about doesn't stem from just keeping names in the system; maybe it stems from catching people. If you catch someone and then prosecute and imprison him, that might contribute to clogging -- it eats up resources. But if that's the problem, it contradicts Castille's central defense of this purge:

"You're never going to find these people. And if you do, are you going to prosecute them? The answer is no."

We remain confused about this.

Creep in the heart of Texas

The Coen brothers get an 'A' for 'No Country For Old Men'

THE DOOMED folks in "No Country For Old Men" struggle to find words to explain the relentless embodiment of evil who stalks them across the Texas plains.

But it's not so hard, really - any dude who can reach adulthood with a haircut that bad has to be one mean SOB.

You'll meet him in this riveting new movie from the Coen brothers, brilliantly adapted from the award-winning novel by Cormac McCarthy.

Set in 1980 in South Texas, it opens when a good 'ol boy named Moss (Josh Brolin), hunting antelope, stumbles upon the carnage left by a drug deal gone bad - several Mexicans have fallen dead by the trucks, guns at their sides. There's a pickup full of contraband, tracks leading off into the outback.

Moss follows, figuring there's one thing missing from the scene. He finds it in a satchel, and immediately makes plans to disappear. He tells his wife (Kelly Macdonald) to start packing - "If you lost $2 million," he says, "at what point would you stop looking for it?"

McCarthy is a wizard with poetry and economy of border country lingo, faithfully adapted here by the Coens. Are they masters of stylized, regional dialogue? You betcha.

The Coens turn out to be eerily well-matched to McCarthy's hard-to-film style - they grasp his sense of the macabre, and their skill at scene-setting captures his vivid sense of place.

With "No Country For Old Men,"

they've lucked into his most (only?) cinematic book, one that comes with a camera-ready hook - there's no more basic movie ingredient than the suitcase full of money.

Unless it's the bad man who's looking for it. And unless I miss my guess, the Coen-McCarthy connection has yielded an all-time movie creep in Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem).

The movie dares you to laugh at Chigurh, with his '70s anchorman hair and curious choice of weapon - a pneumatic hole puncher that he drags around with an attached tank of compressed air, like someone in an old folks home.

But there's nothing funny about his methods. Chigurh pursues the money with a clinical ruthlessness, casually killing policemen, a desk clerk, cab drivers, - anyone who impedes his mission.

If he were merely an assassin, this process might sink into dull nihilism. Chigurh, however, sometimes decides to spare a life, or allow a coin flip (in one memorable scene) to determine a man's fate. Every encounter becomes more suspenseful, and Chigurh becomes more of a riddle.

All of it is brilliantly visual - even, or especially, when there is no gore (horror hacks, take note). The killer's most heinous murder is off-screen. All we see is Chirgurh leaving a house, calmly looking at the bottom of his boots, lest he track blood.

If Bardem does not steal the show, it's only because the performances are so uniformly good. Brolin ("American Gangster"), having a breakout year, is quietly terrific as neo-cowboy Moss, resourceful and tough. He probably would stand a good chance against anybody but the angel of death.

Tommy Lee Jones is ideally cast as the decent, laconic Texas sheriff who understands that Chigurh is some new, untreatable mutation of evil and races to find Moss first. Woody Harrelson turns up as a bounty hunter hired by Chigurh's own employers to stop his widening swath of destruction.

What's up with Chigurh? Why does he kill some and spare others? Will he be caught? Who will stop him?

Anyone who's read McCarthy knows not to expect neat answers to these questions, or indeed any answer at all. I suspect many viewers will leave "No Country" exasperated - led to expect a black comedy entertainment, only to find there is no conventional third act.

Instead, what you get is something more like a spiritual inquiry into a time of advancing darkness and diminishing courage, in a gospel as it might have been written by hardscrabble Texans in their own idiom.

As when the sheriff, unnerved by what he expects will be a confrontation with Chigurh, asks a retired colleague for advice.

"You can't stop what's coming," the man says, "And it ain't all waitin' on you. That's vanity."

The Coens could be forgiven for taking vain pride in this movie. This is big moment of growth for the brothers, already accomplished filmmakers. Watching "No Country For Old Men," you can see how the playful ideas of their youth - the grisly noir plotting of "Blood Simple," or "Raising Arizona's" lone biker of the apocalypse - have grown into a visual language capable of sustaining McCarthy's weighty text.

Maybe too weighty, you're thinking. Maybe this isn't maturity, but the natural pessimism of the middle age - another couple of guys who got old and lost their sense of humor.

But their black humor is still there - just seasoned, and sprinkled over challenging material. This is a rare instance of great American filmmakers taking on a great American book, and winning. *

Jahlil Okafor's uncertain future with the Sixers

PORTLAND, Ore. — What did we learn about Jahlil Okafor?

Sure the center/power forward led the 76ers with a 17.5-point-per-game average. But we already knew the rookie was a solid offensive player.

We also knew going in that Okafor would be the most skilled first-year big to enter the NBA since Tim Duncan with the San Antonio Spurs in 1997. We were aware of the 6-foot-11, 257-pounder’s defensive shortcomings.

The one thing we didn’t know was that his offensive prowess would far exceed his being, at times, a one-on-one defensive liability. It has, as Okafor is someone with the potential to become a perennial NBA all-star.

“The misperception that we all had was that he was pretty much a low-post, back-to-the-basket player,” Sixers coach Brett Brown said. “That’s not him exclusively at all. At times, I see an excellent balance to his game.

“At times, I see Carlos Boozer. At times, I see [Hall of Famer] Karl Malone. At times, you see a legitimate back-to-the basket post threat.”

But will he be a versatile post threat for the Sixers or another team?

The 20-year-old had season-ending arthroscopic surgery Tuesday to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. The injury ultimately cost the third overall pick the final 23 games of the season, considering he hasn’t played since Feb. 28.

Before that, the struggles of Okafor and Nerlens Noel to co-exist as Twin Towers were well-documented. Both players are better suited to playing center. The problem for Okafor has been that the team is more successful with Noel at center. There was even a stretch when Okafor was often on the bench late in games. And that’s why the team had moved Okafor to power forward before his injury.

Folks also know that Noel isn’t the only problem for Okafor.

The Sixers hope that Joel Embiid, taken third overall in 2014, will finally make his NBA debut next season.

The 7-2, 265-pounder had bone graft surgery in August to repair the navicular bone in his right foot. He will miss the entire season. He missed what would have been his rookie season after surgery in June 2014 to repair a stress fracture in the same bone.

Similar players, Okafor and Embiid are an unlikely pairing. They are both liabilities guarding athletic power forwards and chasing stretch fours on the perimeter. So the belief is that the Sixers may try to move Okafor this summer if Embiid is healthy. If he isn’t, they have to decide between Okafor and Noel.

The Boston Herald had reported that the Sixers had a deal in place to trade Okafor to the Boston Celtics at the Feb. 18 trade deadline. The team denied that report and has always publicly praised the rookie. And it should. He’s been fun to watch on the offensive end.

Okafor finished with a career-high 31 points to go with eight rebounds in a loss at the Dallas Mavericks on Feb. 22. He’s also had 11 double-doubles and scored in double figures in 35 of the last 36 games he played.

The former Duke standout shot 53 percent after the Sixers acquired point guard Ish Smith in a trade from the New Orleans Pelicans on Dec. 24.

Okafor’s scoring average ranks second behind Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (18.1) among rookies. He’s also third in rebounding (7.0), fourth in blocks (1.15), and fifth in field-goal percentage (50.8 percent) in the rookie class.

He also went from making just 51 percent of his foul shots in college to 68.6 percent in the NBA.

“When we step back and we review numbers as it relates to other rookies, we’re all going to admit that Jahlil Okafor had a heck of a year,” Brown said.

But this is the only question that matters: Will his perceived bright future be as a Sixer or with another NBA team?

If you drink, don’t drive – and also keep it polite

While it’s often difficult to get the car keys out of the hands of a problem drunk, one drunk found that demanding someone else take them can also end violently.

The drunkard, 32, left a bar in Kratie town on Monday in a bad way, staggering and ordering the security guard to fetch his car.

When the guard refused, the customer let fly with expletives about “poor service”, which earned him a beating from the guard.

The drunkard was rushed to hospital, while the guard was arrested. DEUM AMPIL

Recognizing Internal Injuries in Young Athletes

Millions of children and teens in the U.S. participate in organized and recreational sports. These activities have important physical and social benefits, but they are not without risk. According to the CDC, nearly 2.7 million young people are treated in the emergency room every year for sports-related injuries.

If you are the parent of a young athlete, you are probably familiar with the most common types of injuries—scrapes, bumps, sprains, and strains. Less common but potentially much more dangerous are internal abdominal injuries from blunt trauma, serious injuries that occur when the body hits or collides with a large object. These types of injuries are most common in contact sports like football, ice hockey, soccer, and lacrosse.

Types of internal abdominal injuries

Sports-related abdominal injuries are rare, but some studies suggest they are increasing. The most common injuries include:

  • Kidney injury. This may cause flank pain and blood to appear in the urine.

  • Spleen injury. This causes pain in the upper left side of the abdomen. The spleen filters almost 10% of the body's blood supply every minute. Tearing of the spleen can cause rapid and life-threatening internal bleeding.

  • Liver injury. This causes pain in upper right side of the abdomen. The liver has two lobes. The lobe most often injured is the right lobe because it is bigger and presses against the ribcage. A torn liver can cause severe bleeding, but it doesn't bleed as frequently as a torn spleen.

  • Abdominal injury. This can result in injury to the pancreas, diaphragm, stomach, gallbladder, bladder, or intestines. Any organ in the abdomen can be injured. A single organ or multiple organs can be injured.

Recognizing abdominal injuries

Because these injuries can result in rapid blood loss, it's important to recognize them as soon as possible. If you or the team coach, doctor, or trainer suspects this type of injury, your child should be transported to an emergency care facility for evaluation.

These are signs and symptoms to look for:

  • Abdominal pain

  • Tenderness over the injured area

  • Rigid abdomen

  • Left arm and shoulder pain (spleen)

  • Right-sided abdominal pain and right shoulder pain (liver)

  • Blood in the urine (kidney)

  • Cold, sweaty skin (early signs of shock)

  • Bluish discoloration of the belly

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Rapid pulse

  • Low blood pressure

  • Loss of consciousness

Diagnosis and treatment of abdominal injuries

When your child has symptoms of abdominal trauma and is being evaluated by emergency caregivers, the most important part of the diagnosis is the pulse and blood pressure. A rapid pulse and falling blood pressure indicate internal bleeding.

This is what may happen next:

  • If there are signs of internal bleeding, an intravenous line is inserted and fluids are given to stabilize the blood pressure.

  • Blood tests may be done to measure blood volume and to prepare for possible blood transfusions.

  • If blood pressure cannot be stabilized, your child will be taken to the operating room for repair of any internal bleeding.

  • If blood pressure is stabilized, a CT scan with contrast may be done to search for or pinpoint any internal damage. Contrast is a special type of dye that is injected into the bloodstream to make the X-ray images easier to read.

  • If there is any blood in the urine, a special type of CT scan that includes putting contrast dye into the bladder and kidneys may be done.

  • Blood tests that look for abnormal  liver enzymes in the blood may be done if liver trauma is suspected.

  • If any of the CT scans show internal bleeding, surgery will likely be done as soon as possible.

  • If there is no evidence of bleeding, your child may be observed or released.

Blunt abdominal trauma is a rare but potentially serious sports-related injury. If your young athlete participates in a contact sport, take some preventive steps. Make sure that the sport is properly coached and supervised and that a certified athletic trainer is available to evaluate any injuries. The athletic trainer should have an emergency plan in the event of a severe abdominal injury or other serious problem. In addition, protective gear for these sports should meet all safety standards and be worn at all times during contact.

Before the explosion of music videos and talk radio, deejays were pilots in the long, teenage night, and Wolfman Jack was the hipster deejay par excellence. He was a pure American product, a transistor evangelist who so wanted to be black that he did the next best thing and darkened his skin. Like Black Like Me author John Howard Griffin's experiment, it worked, but not for long.

Wolfman Jack exemplified the handful of white hipsters who have always flitted around the heart of American culture, men like Alan Freed, Jack Kerouac, Jerry Wexler and John Belushi--the ones who, as Kerouac said, "Never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn."

One of the greatest compliments Wolfman Jack pays himself in his autobiography is reminding us that some people who heard him on the radio in his heyday assumed he was black. Coming in on the 250,000-watt signal from XERF's Mexican transmitter across the border from Del Rio, Texas, blanketing the South and West on a clear night, Wolfman Jack sounded hipper-than-thou, howling come-ons for Chuck Berry, orgies, baby chicks, roach clips and Spanish fly. In the late 1950s, few white men were alienated and passionate enough to talk as he did.

Wolfman, whose real name was Robert Smith, had just returned from a promotional tour of Have Mercy!, the autobiography that tells of these days, when he died of a heart attack three weeks ago. And so, at 57, went the last true child of radio.

Upcoming Events

Despite Wolfman Jack's relative youth, his demise was an epilogue, not an interruption. The careers of even legendary deejays--and he was right up there--are short. Wolfman's days as a tastemaker were over more than a decade ago.

"At first I was just another among the countless legions of white kids who got amazed and irreversibly bopped on the head by the provocative, pulsating and wonderful music that African-American culture has given us all," he writes. "I keyed in to their act, drew pleasure from it, and used it in my attempts to find a cool world to live in--away from the morose hang-ups of 'real life.' Because in my philosophy, nothing is more unreal than being unhappy."

Smith should know. He bolted out of his skin.
From the time he was a little boy in Brooklyn, Smith was captivated by the radio, holing up in his family's coal bin to tune in original wild men Jocko Henderson out of Memphis, John R. from Nashville, Alan Freed in Cleveland and the midnight preachers from Mexico.

His parents went through a messy separation, and the only dependable adult around the house was a black housekeeper Smith called "Tantan." During that time, however, he was molested by a priest and a baby sitter.

Smith attended the National Academy of Broadcasting in Washington, D.C., and, armed with a one-year announcer's degree, got his first radio job at a black station in Newport News, Virginia, sweeping the floor, hustling ads and playing rhythm and blues. A black jock coached him, darkening his patter, and he learned how to walk the walk.

"I always wore slick clothes," he writes. "I'd make deals with the store owners that serviced the black community, a little bit of advertising and a promise to pay on time, and I'd walk out wearing skinny-lapel suits, usually linen or silk, with a selection of narrow ties and some sharp handkerchiefs for the breast pocket. Except for the color of my skin, I could've stepped onstage at any moment with Sam and Dave's Soul Revue."

Gatsby, meet Amos.
When his Virginia station changed hands, Smith was forced to reinvent himself as the ofay Roger Gordon, host of "Music in Good Taste," spinning Mantovani and Sinatra. He had a stint at a 25-watt station in Shreveport, Louisiana, as Big Smith, playing hillbilly and honky-tonk. Meanwhile, he patched together a Wolfman demo tape, concocted of one part bedtime stories, one part horror movies and three parts ersatz jazz. Then, in 1963, he took a trip south, driving through Texas and over the border to Ciudad Acua, home to XERF's transmitter.

Thanks to the short arm of the Federal Communications Commission, Mexican broadcasters could do what they wanted. XERF had seven-foot-tall, water-cooled platinum driver tubes, and a signal so strong it caused the headlights of cars parked nearby to light up. With a little pluck, the Wolf was home. But still unseen. Pilgrims who made it as far as XERF's tower were turned away by a mild-mannered Bob Smith, who told them Wolfman Jack was a Mexico City porn star who mailed in his tapes.

Offers of quick cash for personal appearances, however, put Smith in a quandary. He hired a Hollywood makeup artist to darken his skin several tones, and topped it off with fangs and a wig. ("He was not like other men," Smith said of Wolfman, "in that he had a dream to be other men and not himself.")

It was his first false step.
By 1973, Wolfman was hosting NBC's The Midnight Special, an in-concert forerunner of music videos. Then WNBC brought him to New York to deejay its top-rated nighttime rock show. The catch: He had to play mostly white Top 40. He lasted a year.

The Midnight Special went off the air in 1981, and the Wolfman Jack show limped on in syndication.

Have Mercy! (Warner Books, $21.95) is a touching memoir because it's a touching story, but it's a lousy, ghostwritten read. It wasn't what the great deejays said that made them memorable, for a lot of it was glorious nonsense like "Hey-baba-boom" and "A wop bop a loo bop, a wop bam boom." Wolfman and his collaborator, Byron Laursen, try to get past the printed page by filling it with as-told-to spoken mannerisms, but it's the worst of both worlds.

Here's what he sounded like when he hit the air on XERF in 1963: "Aaaooooooooo! All right baby! Have mercy! Good golly, Miss Molly! This is the Wolfman Jack show, baby. We gonna par-ty tonight! We down here in Del Rio, Texas, the land of the dun-keys. . . . I gotta tell you baby, the old Wolfman gonna make you feeeeel good. Gonna get down! Gonna make you feel it tonight!

"Here's Elmore James and his funky funky slide guitar. Makes me want to get naked every time I hear it, baby. I'm runnin' around naked in the studio right now, beatin' my chest. And I wantcha ta reach over to that radio, darlin', right now, and grab my knobs. Aaaoooooo!"

Now that's what I call the heart of Saturday night.
Unfortunately, someone drove a stake through it. Underground radio has become the province of amateurs, the college kids at the left end of the dial who aren't afraid of a little dead air and even clear their throats on the mike before going into a set of angst-ridden strummers. Rush Limbaugh and Howard Stern have also run off with their pieces of the party's carcass. Theatre of the mind, the soundtrack to adolescent longing, has been supplanted by shock and diatribe.

Anyone attempting Wolfman's memoirs should first load up a CD changer with some sides by Elmore James, Lowell Fulsom and Joe Tex. If those names don't ring a bell, you'll at least have some idea of what became of Wolfman. The funny thing, and the moral here, is that someone who was once a paragon of cool got so dated so fast.

Blame it on the nostalgia binge that began in 1973 with George Lucas' American Graffiti, the movie in which the Wolfman played himself. Blame it on Sha Na Na, on Dick Clark's refusal to age, on digital sampling and the general, accelerated recycling of culture that has left hippies and punks side by side in the mud.

But no matter who you blame, it comes out the same: Wolfman's tastes now seem as quaint as his pompadour and Elvis' jumpsuits. It's fitting that his last gig was deejaying at Planet Hollywood--like the Hard Rock cafes, they're shrines to something that never happened.

But it turns out he didn't fall that far. Wolfman was always a hipster manqu, a sweet square urging his listeners to "get nekkid" while he stayed clothed, unseen in the wings.

When Elvis called and asked him to come hang out in Vegas, Wolfman agonized over it and decided it was too risky; he stayed home in bed with his wife, Lou Lamb. When he got home from the book tour three weeks ago, Wolfman walked up his driveway, hugged Lamb and collapsed. He was all bark.

Once he met Freddie King, and told the blues guitarist how touched he was by the references to "Wolf" in one of King's songs. King didn't tell him he meant Howlin' Wolf.

Oh, Howlin' Wolf.
As Wolfman once said, someday the wicked will be defeated, the ugly will grow new, exciting faces and the stupid will learn to tie their shoes. In the meantime, you'll have to settle for reruns of the way we never were.

The Mexican on César Chávez and gabacho grammar rules

Whenever I have an immigration debate with my Chicano hermanos who support open borders and get angry at any type of immigration control, they don't seem to understand the basic laws of economics, such as the fact that migrant workers who pick fruit, work in construction, and do other blue-collar jobs can never demand wage increases as long as a steady flow of their friends keeps coming up from the homeland. Will somebody please remind them that César Chávez was against illegal immigration because it ruined his union's chances of controlling the labor market, unionizing, and demanding better pay?
El Confused-o Gringo-o

I will! Yes, Virginia: Not only was César Chávez against illegal immigration, not only did he speak out against the Mexican invasion before Congress, not only did United Farm Workers members monitor the United States-Mexico border à la the Minutemen, but Chavez even sicced la migra on the undocumented from time to time. The curious case of Chávez and his evolving views on illegal immigration are best explained Walls and Mirrors: Mexican Americans, Mexican Immigrants, and the Politics of Ethnicity, the 1995 book by University of California-San Diego professor David G. Gutierrez. In it, the good profe documents how the position of the union leader regarding illegal immigration changed under pressure from Chicano yaktivists. Know-Nothings love to repeat Chávez's initial hatred of open borders, so much so that a page on the UFW's Web site now claims Chávez was against scabs, not illegal immigration, despite reams of evidence to the contrary. But pointing out Chávez's original opposition to illegal immigration as validation of one's anti-immigrant views while disregarding his Aztlanista tendencies is like homophobes basing their bigotry on the Old Testament while not bothering to follow the Nazarene's insistence on loving thy neighbor. Confused-o Gringo-o: Find a better icon to cherry pick for your rhetorical needs — unless you believe in the supremacy of la raza above everyone else, that is.

Why are words in Spanish in your column in italics? I feel that including Spanish and Spanglish slang in articles should be read in a natural, conversational way and not be treated special. When I read these italicized words, I feel I should make quote signs with my fingers and read them in a more American accent. Maybe that's just the way I read them, but wouldn't it be more worthy to integrate those words into the American language? Either way, it's something that bugs me, in general, not really aimed at your article.
Putting the "Fun" in "Fundamentalist Grammar"

Spanish words in print

Get all your Mexican fun at YouTube, MySpace, and e-mail link!

Although the Mexican treats American immigration law the same way his countrymen regard the U.S. soccer team, he must grovel to the caudillos that are his copy editors, all of whom would deport me if I didn't italicize Spanish words. It's an arcane rule devised long ago by gabachos who figured gabacho readers were too pendejos to know when a word was foreign. I agree that America should integrate more Spanish words than those found on menus and place names — that's why I use so many of them. Although some Chicano authors don't italicize Spanish or Spanglish words as a political statement against God-knows-what, I like slanting palabras. It's a constant reminder to gabachos to get with the programa.

The Larvae and the Cricket in Mexican Food: Biting Into Tradition

Tiny and terrifying: agave larvae.
Tiny and terrifying: agave larvae.
Minerva Orduno Rincon

It takes a special kind of person to respond with bright enthusiasm to a request for an order of gusanos de maguey, but, hell, he may have thought it takes a crazy sort of person to make such a request so far away from southern Mexico. But perhaps years of Anthony Bourdain/Bear Grylls all-day beer-accompanied marathons have finally gotten to me.

I decided to ignore the years of bias against some of the stranger culinary traditions of my home country, and bite into a worm.

See also: -La 15 y Salsas Spices Up Sunnyslope with Oaxacan Eats -Chapulines: Edible Grasshoppers from Oaxaca Restaurant

Or larvae to be exact. The red larvae of the Hypopta agavis, known in Spanish as gusano de maguey, chinicuil or tecol, a larvae that burrows into and eats away the heart of the agave, fattening up and waiting to hatch. In pre-Columbian times, this was the food of emperors; nowadays, it is perhaps just as rarefied and consumed at high-end restaurants in Mexico City and southern Mexico, due to its high cost and growing scarcity.

Presented with a small bowl filled with salt, ground seasoned chiles, and two small red larvae, the presence of this tiny bit of protein was disturbing; the salt and ground chile clinging to them, accentuating their delicate ridges. They looked so awfully living still, seeming as if they would squirm away when sprinkled with a bit of lime juice from the wedges paired with them.

Had I not known they are mostly eaten lightly sauteed (while still squirming of course, and yes! they plump when you cook them!), I would have fully thought they were still alive, despite being far from the heart of an agave. This is the point in the story in which sucking it up, getting over years screwing up my face and thinking gusanos, gusanos, gusanitos . . . and not being able to get over the apparent grossness of the food, have to be let go.

Or I could walk away from the tiny challenge like a culinary coward. I don't think so . . . I've eaten White Castle. Clearly, I've put worse things in my mouth.

With a splash of lime, and a swift scoop of salt, ground chile, and two tiny and terrifying larvae, down they went, chewed once or twice -- and I experienced nothing worse than a spicy salt kick with a small, decisive yet completely inoffensive crunch. I may as well have bitten into air, yet quickly felt the need for another order. Maybe I missed something? No, again it was crunch with just the slightest bit of fluffy filling, more reminiscent of a french fry than a strange and offensive piece of protein.

Legs and all. Potato chip like crickets.
Legs and all. Potato chip like crickets.
Minerva Orduno Rincon

Far more rewarding to my taste buds was the red chapulin cricket that was offered after my second round of larvae. Piled high on a neatly cut square of banana leaf, the tiny crickets glistened red with chile. At this point, there was no need to hesitate: lime juice, fork, and straight in, with a satisfying crunch and spice, not unlike that of a chile spiked potato chip. Who would have thought bugs and larvae taste and eat like potatoes?

The second bite of chapulin was a far less timid one, using the banana leaf square as a cricket slide of sorts, shaking every crunchy morsel in. Just a warning: Be sure to check your teeth after eating the crickets. Bits of the exoskeleton have a tendency to stick.

As proprietor of Muñeca Mexicana handcrafted food, Minerva Orduno Rincon makes everything from mole poblano to goat milk caramel to spiced (not spicy) cocoa. She's taking a summer break from farmers markets, but she'll be back in the fall.

Happy! Another Theo and Anne story! I can't believe that you haven't gotten more reviews for these, because they are absolutely incredible. I don't think I've reviewed before (sorry!) but I've been reading all your stuff. You're writing is great, and you've developed the characters of Theo and Anne very well. I love stories that delve into the background of JKR's world, like yours does, as opposed to just presenting the life of the trio. A very interesting perspective and you've done an amazing job.
