Waiting Game * Japanese authorities deport ed Canadian Michael Omane, 38, who spent three months in the arrival lobby at Tokyo’s Narita airport. Omane, who arrived on May 28 with a one way ticket from Toronto and a 90-day tourist visa, told authorities he was waiting for friends. During his stay, he befriended airport workers, who gave him food, and used a public bathroom to wash up and launder his clothes. • Merhan Karimi Nasseri has spent the past 10 years strand ed at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris. Now calling himself Alfred Merhan, he spends his time reading discarded newspa pers, studying economics, writ ing in his journal, listening to his radio and talking to strangers who drop by. He sur vives on handouts by airport staff, stores his books in five airline transit boxes and sleeps in a sleeping bag opposite Burger King. Merhan’s predicament started in the early 1970s after the Savak, Iran’s secret police, imprisoned him for taking part in anti-Shah demonstrations. He got a special passport for emigration only and traveled through Europe seeking asy lum. In 1981 he learned that his mother was Scottish and headed there after mailing his
refugee travel permit to Belgian authorities, assuming he had no further use of them. Britain refused him entry without papers, as did Belgium when he tried to return there. After traveling to France, where he was arrested three times for ille gal immigration, Merhan moved into the airport in November 1988.

Curses, Foiled Again
Hot Money
When police in San Jose, California, went to the home of Jason Fournillier to inquire about his whereabouts during a nearby bank robbery, they were greeted by money falling from the sky. It turned out to be the bank loot. “He had hidden it up in the rain gutter,” a police spokesperson said, “and the wind picked it up.”
Britain’s Barclays Bank announced it is developing a microwave oven that can also be used for home banking. Explaining that customers would be able to use touch screen technology in the oven door both for cooking and to make transactions, Roger Alexander, managing direc tor of Barclays’ Emerging Markets Group, said, “We hope it won’t be too long before we bring true banking, through the microwave, into the kitchen.”
Justice from Beyond the Grave
Rule Britannia Britain’s Royal Navy report ed that at least one in five recruits can’t pass a test requir ing them to swim 40 yards and tread water for three minutes. “We are getting young people who are very bad swimmers or in some cases can’t swim at all,” Captain Chris Tuffley, the Navy’s director of physical training and sport, told the Guardian newspaper. “Some are literally scared of the water.”

Forgettable Sex Doctors at Baltimore’s Johns Hopkins Hospital reported treating two men, ages 73 and 72, who lost their memory after having sex. Writing in the journal The Lancet, hematologists Chi Van Dang and Lawrence B. Gardner said the men’s wives took them to the hospital when they became seriously con fused. The doctors concluded

Although he had first Early in the year, the watched a glassmaker at age 13, Corning Museum of Glass five years later, when he selected Goldfarb as one of only attempted to harness molten 100 artists nationwide for glass himself, Goldfarb had an inclusion in its New Glass epiphany.

And last month, “I was really stoned,” he admits, in a crowning achievement for the year, Goldfarb was honored “and giggling so hard I stuck by the Smithsonian with the the glass to the side of the fur purchase of a piece from his nace and pulled out this big recent “Archeo-Pop” series for blob.

glass,” or drinking beaker-style — which Trapp calls “exquisite ly designed and delightful.” The bigger work is a 20inch chalice with an ancient Islamic-inspired design — a casual glance might indeed sug gest antique. But along with “tour de force blowing,” as Goldfarb puts it, a subtle devia tion from tradition figured into its Smithsonian-worthiness: applied glass lettering around the chalices circumference that reads, “Shake Your Booty.” This collision of a contemporary construct and near-sacrosanct antiquity is precisely what Goldfarbs work is all about. He calls it historical revision. “The new Archeo-Pop series are studies of ancient pieces. The idea I’m trying to mine is combining historical studies with pop culture,” he says. Illustrating a source of inspira tion, he pulls out a photograph of a Roman glass from 300 A.D. with Latin lettering on its side. Other pieces in the “ArcheoPop” series are just as cheeky: A drinking horn says, “Have a Nice Day.” One tall vase protests, “What, Me Worry?” The claw beaker borrows from advertising: “That’s a Spicy Meatball.” And a “cage” cup declares simply, “Blue Suede Shoes.” “They’re not very deep,” Goldfarb admits with a chuckle. But they’re heretical enough to get rejected. “They were horrified by my pieces,” he says of the “big-league” Heller Gallery in New York. “They said there was no reason for these words to be here, that they made the work banal.
“Some people get that the words are really sad; some peo ple think they’re funny,” Goldfarb adds. “One woman said to me after seeing this work, ‘This is funny, this is sad, and you’re angry.’” When he returned home after Heller denied him, he got the call from the Smithsonian. The tim ing could not have been better.
Sound, continued to turn out all sorts of zany creations, as witty as they are masterful. Goldfarb also cites Dale Chihuly, who, like his Seattlebased Pilchuck Glass School, has acquired international stature. Chihuly is “the P.T. Barnum of glass,” Goldfarb suggests. “He’s huge, the glass superstar. His story is definitely getting into pop culture. Ten years ago he was on the cover of A rt in America ’ — a rare oldfarb’s “Archeo-Pop’ acknowledgment from the fine work is not a surprising art world for a mere “crafts development for an arti san who cites Frank Zappa asman.” Last year regional viewers had an opportunity to see one of his heroes. “He com Chihuly’s elegant, fluid, jelly bined virtuosity with buffoon fish-like glass works at the ery,” Goldfarb explains. “It was Hood Museum at Dartmouth his modus operandi.” College. Actually, the artisan “If Chihuly is the P.T. acknowledges equally audacious Barnum of glass, Bill Morris is mentors from the world of glass. Richard Marquis is one of the Michael Jordan,” Goldfarb continues. “His is the work I them — Goldfarb calls him, in really care about.. .he’s got fact, the “Zappa of glass.” The choice DNA — women throw Californian went to Venice — themselves at him. He’s got it home of the best glassblowers all.” Morris is a former p r o t ^ in the world — in 1969, a of Chihuly’s — he started out countercultural young man as a truck driver for Pilchuck who earned the trust and — but his work couldn’t be respect of the Italians by mas tering their traditions, and their more different.

New York. Goldfarb made the trip, and sat in a room with 500 pieces, utterly dumbstruck. “You get entranced by the power of these objects,” he says. “His was the best glass I had ever seen, including historical stuff. I drew all 500 pieces, then came back, and this series came out o f that.” Goldfarb’s description of contemporary glass “superstars” is a brief but colorful introduc tion to a subculture of the visu al arts that is slowly growing in the public consciousness — “now all the kids are making bongs,” he quips. Even so, it’s merely the most recent chapter in glassmaking’s lengthy lineage. While Goldfarb clearly relishes the work of his envelope-push ing contemporaries -7- not least, the elegant, streamlined designs of his former Venetian teacher, Lino Tagliapietra — what’s won his heart is history. He’s just determined to “revi sion” it. “I like that dream state you get into in the antiquity ' section of a museum,” he says, “but that’s just not where we’re at. “For whatever reason I > study old glass, I just accept that,” Goldfarb continues. “But in terms of more personal ? expression, I link it with pop culture, try to puncture it with ‘Be here now.”’ In addition to poring over the history books for inspira tion, Goldfarb took the Buddhist approach and delved within. “I wanted to take these slogans as ‘objects,’” he says. “So I just strolled around in my mind like it was the beach, to pick up debris, to see what was in there. They are pretty little shells, but they all died a vio lent death. Now when you walk on a beach, you see condoms and hypodermic needles. I decided to take those contem porary slogans and meld them with antiquity.”
lan Goldfarb grew up in Armonk, New York, in the ’70s. It was a fairly typical typical suburban upbringing — “most dads commuted to the city or worked for nearby IBM,” he says. But with prox imity to Manhattan galleries and museums, and an excep tional high school art teacher, Armonk proved a rich environ ment for a creative kid. Goldfarb believes that art teacher was disappointed in him, however, because, despite formative monthly field trips to Soho, the young Alan turned to the earthiest of crafts: pottery. “I was reading the Whole Earth Catalog and all that post-’60s drivel,” Goldfarb recalls of his tender years. “I really got into that notion of working with your hands.” An early psyche delic experience had revealed to him he was not cut out for

IBM — “my Dad prayed I wouldn’t get into the Moonies or Krishna,” he half-jokes. But clay turned out to be a seductive first love. “I started making pots, and started having these ‘recognitional experi ences,”’ he says. “I made pots all through high school, got good at it, retreated into the ceramics studio. I was not welladjusted socially.” Then came the glassblowers studio — where a menial clean up job turned into a calling. “I really had this recognitional thing,” he says, and took his new-found passion to the
But more than that, it’s a chance to break the aloneness. “I wasn’t aware when I start ed that it would be this isolat ing,” he admits. “It’s hard to work counter to that because people distract me. But it’s been a little sobering to find how austere a life this is.” For a guy who calls himself an eligible bachelor, Goldfarb doesn’t leave many openings. Even home — a monkish apartment where, he confesses, he drinks out of jelly glasses — isn’t much comfort. | As a consequence, other n occasional craft fairs, Goldfarb doesn’t get out of the
Burlington and launched his studio on North Avenue. It was a move that his loan officer, Bruce Seifer of the Community and Economic Development Office, would later credit as “spawning an interest in glassblowing in the state.” When asked about the fairly recent proliferation of glass stu dios in the area, Goldfarb responds by rummaging through a box and pulling out Seifer’s letter.

The only other time Goldfarb took a breather from his studio, in 1991, was to work in other ones: He took ?t classes with his Venetian idol, Tagliapietro, at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Maine and back at Pilchuck. V “The Venetians are sort of down on us — ‘when it comes to glass, you Americans are like Fred Flintstone,”’ he mocks. “But in spite of their attitude, we’re getting it.” N

hen he was in Seattle the second time, Goldfarb began to do his “historical derivations — they were literal ly derived,” he says. Back home he decided, “I had this produc tion studio and, rather than doing crowd-pleasing, pretty
glass, I decided to use the stu dio as a means of studying his tory.” Actually, it wasn’t the first time Goldfarb had combined old techniques and contempo rary concepts. Several years ago, he fashioned a glass model of an AIDS virus and planted it in the stem o f a goblet — “Laticino Goblet with HIV Infection” — in full living color. The patterns and textures on the work lining his shelves reveals an on-going exploration of the history of glass. “I really feel like I’m work ing as a student,” he reiterates. “Artistically, I feel like I have the talent of a high sch6ol shop teacher. I got into Buddhism in the ’80s — they have this thing about overcoming obstacles. I feel I can overcome marginal > talent through perserverance.” Goldfarb’s talent is clearly ;vnot so miniscule as all that. And along the path he’s learned a lot more than glassblowing. Furnace-making, for instance. He made all the four furnaces ; in his studio, and describes them with what can only be called affection, from the “day tank,” where glass is kept in a molten state at 2150 degrees, to the working furnace, or glory hole, at 2250 degrees, to the “garage,” where parts in progress are parked at 1100 / degrees, to the final oven — at a mere 925 degrees, it cools down over 12 hours and anneals the glass. Staring into these furnaces — as if gazing into the source of creation itself — continues to amaze and inspire this glassblower. It’s no wonder he’s smitten by antiquity. For his next step, he plans to interpret old forms in different colors. “Like neon green, for instance, so they’re confusing, old but new,” says Goldfarb, his eyes lighting up in anticipation. “It’s some kind of contemporary artifact trip. “I’d like to make objects, vessels out of my imagination, and build cases with these things in them; that would be the piece,” Goldfarb enthuses. “But I’d have to have a year and $75,000 to make that happen. * A couple of times Goldfarb has saved up enough of a “nest egg” to buy a house, he says, noting that he’s ready to settle down. But both times he’s “blown it” instead — putting Yhis money where his mouth is, literally. “I’ll go make the work and wonder if I’m out of my mind,” he sighs. Chances are, Goldfarb will keep choosing the work. “I haven’t managed to get married and have kids, but I made a commitment to this,” he says. “It’s like a marriage — some times I hate it, h u t the power of commitment is there.” ®

ant to go culinary this Christmas? The hun dreds of new cook books published each year pr vide plenty to choose from. But that’s the trouble — choosing. W ith books on everything from peanuts to potatoes, sauces to smoothies, it’s almost impossi ble to judge a cookbook by its cover. O r even flipping through it at the store. So I took an eas ier tack and called around to a few local chefs and “foodies.” Here’s what they recommended:

Working W ith Chocolate
R estaurant, R ichmond . Roasting, by Barbara Kafka (William Morrow & Co., $26). Weinstein endorses this hefty volume because “it’s got nice combinations, easy recipes for the home cook. The layout is nice, too — good graphics.” But what Weinstein likes most is that Roasting “kinda goes against the rules” by insisting on high heat and short cooking times for everything, from meats and poultry to fish and fruit. The approach is contro versial; some reviewers com plain of dense clouds of smoke billowing from the oven, while others love the brazen and energetic approach — so much so that Roasting won the Julia Child Cookbook Award in 1995. This gutsy style is not for everyone — nervous cooks may cower at the thought of crank ing the oven up to 500 degrees (as high as most home ovens go), but this is a great book for adventuresome cooks who want to expand their culinary reper toire and library. By the way, it is definitely not just a meatand-potatoes book — nearly half the recipes are for vegeta bles alone, as well as a few for fruits. Throughout Kafka — best known for her Microwave Gourmet cookbooks (talk about breaking rules) — offers up plenty of strong opinions about food and cooking in general.

spurred him to think of anoth er. Here are two of his selec tions. The New M aking o f a Cook: The Art, Techniques, and Science o f Good Cooking, by Madeleine Kamman (William Morrow & Co., $40). Fuller recommends this authoritative tome by the now-local cook book author and professional chef as a perfect gift “for an upand-coming culinarian.” This rewrite of the original 1971 classic, The M aking o f a Cook, appeared last year in time for the holidays, so any real foodies on your gift list probably already have a copy. Unlike many of the other exhaustive, encyclopedia-type cookbooks on the shelves, Kamman’s stands out because of its personal voice. “She’s got a passion for the subject,” explains Fuller. And indeed she must, to have spent the years necessary to assemble informa tion on everything from kitchen fundamentals to the finer points of gourmet cook ing.

New M aking o f a Cook embraces the flavors and tech niques of a global kitchen. Fuller also cited Great American Food, by Charlie Palmer (Random House, $50). Don’t let the title fool you: This isn’t just apple pie and meatloaf recipes. Palmer’s glitzy volume fits in the trendy category of “chef books” — cookbooks by top chefs that promise the recipes will enable you to dupli cate their four-star restaurant cuisine in your kitchen. In Great American Food, Palmer — the genius behind the range at Aureole, one of the best restau rants in New York City — offers recipes for everything from soup to desserts off his own menu. And just in case you don’t have ingredients like white truffle oil in your pantry, the gorgeous photos in the book look good enough to eat.

his way through it, tends to have favorites of the moment. Here are his current picks: JeanGeorges: Cooking at Home with a Four-Star Chef, by JeanGeorges Vongerichten and Mark Bittman (Broadway Books, $35). Hot off the press es, Cooking at Home is the new darling of the food cognoscenti, and for good reason. “Every thing that I’ve tried really works,” explains Bivins. “I was thrilled to find the recipes that he actually does in his restau rant.” Make that restaurants, plural, as French-born Vongerichten has three very popular, high-end Manhattan restaurants: Jean-Georges, Vong and JoJo. For this cookbook, the chef has teamed up with food writer and cookbook author Mark Bittman to produce recipes that are “pretty simple and really pretty,” according to Bivins. Maybe salmon in cardamom broth is not what you call sim ple food, but the wonder of this book is how relatively quick and easy are the techniques used to create inspired, elegant and delicious dishes. Bivins also favors Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, by Deborah Madison (Broadway Books, $40). This major work is aptly titled — it is clearly written for all cooks, from novice to expert, strict vegetari an to carnivore. Bivins, who cooks up plenty of meat as a innovative and talented restau rant chef, turns to this book because “things just sound good to me. I like that it’s not strictly vegetarian, that it gives options.” Madison, a wellestablished vegetarian authority and author of Greens and The Savory Way, has filled this latest book with lots of comprehen sive and enlightening informa tion on techniques and ingredi ents, making it much more than just a collection of recipes. Bivins believes strongly in the system of culinary appren ticeship and mentoring, and thus recommends Bread, by Beth Hensberger (Chronicle Books, $18.95). It’s “the one I give to my interns, because it’s easy and basic, and because everything works really well,” he says. Straightforward, cre ative and well-written, the book is first of a series by Hensberger, an established bread expert. More recent titles tend to be more specialized and elaborate, including The Bread Bible: Beth Hensberger's 300 Favorite Recipes (Chronicle Books, $32.50), Beth's Basic Bread Book (Chronicle Books, $19.95), and Bread for A ll Seasons (Chronicle Books, $18.95).

B urlington . While Daley’s picks won’t be much help to last-minute shoppers (the first is out of print and the second is out of stock), these titles are definitely worth seeking out in used bookstores for anyone with a serious culinary library. First, The Good Food o f Italy: Region by Region (Knopf, $25) by Claudia Roden. “I love this book because it’s so true,” Daley explains. More than once, he’s tasted a dish on one of his annual “culinary research” trips to Italy, and can only find the recipe for it in Good Food. “It’s a great book, a fun book, too,” says Daley. “You get food history with good food.” His second pick is The Heart o f Sicily: Recipes and Reminiscences o f Regaleali, a Country Estate, by Anna Tasca Lanza (Clarkson Potter). Daley gushes superlatives when rec ommending this cookbook, which depicts a way of life as much as the food. “It’s a won derful, wonderful book. The cooking is very fresh and healthy,” he says. “The basis for the text is the vast Regaleali working estate in Sicily where, according to Daley, “everything they do is to perfection.” It is also the author’s home. The abundance of full-color photos would be a welcome distraction to any armchair cook this win ter. The Flavors o f Sicily (Clarkson Potter, $30) is a more recent, smaller book by the same author, focusing on the traditions and food of that region.

T he B lue M oon in S towe . A chef who appreciates the practical value of a good cook book, Pickett qualifies and cate gorizes his response quite neat ly: “There are a couple of important cookbooks to have, but first I would want to know what kind of cook they were and what kind of collection they had.” For the beginner he suggests The Fannie Farmer Cookbook, by Marion Cunningham (Knopf, $30). Like many of today’s cooks, Pickett claims, “I learned to cook from Fannie Farmer when I was a little boy, and I still use it today — used it yesterday, in fact.” Besides being a reliable and comprehensive cooking refer ence, the snazzy new hardcover anniversary edition has updated graphics and plenty of new information on contemporary culinary concerns, such as microwave, low-fat, vegetarian and outdoor grilling.

THEEASYTHINGS-. You open the bag. You toss a little oil in a pan. You cook. That’s all you have to do to make a delicious beef stir-fry in minutes. Find it in your grocers meat case. How easy can you get?
For the budding cook Pickett recommends Chez Panisse Menu Cookbook, by Alice Waters (Random House, $26). Pickett endorses this piv otal collection of recipes as “one of the best books in the past 20 years as far as inspiration
innovative restaurant recipes and presentations. “Its really , fancy and fun to look at,” says Pickett, while admitting that the book is not exactly practical — not many home cooks are really set to tackle lobster tow ers with caviar cream. But for anyone who likes to push the outer limits of culinary creativi ty, and who drools over larger-
cookbooks as gifts, there is one little volume that deserves attention: Vermont Country Cooking, by Janet Poell and Joan Harrington (self-pub lished, $12.95). Dispelling the notion that self-published cook books are sometimes secondrate, Adams describes this new release as “very well done and good-looking.” The authors,
Just in case you don’t have ingredients like white truffle oil in your pantry, the gorgeous photos in the book look good enough to eat.

[goes].” In fact, Waters is said to have inspired the birth of the “New American Cuisine” in her passionate devotion to fresh, seasonal produce and local ingredients. This timeless text is organized by menus that were served at her famous Chez Panisse restaurant in Berkeley, California, during its first 10 years. These recipes, and Waters’ philosophy, “really changed the face of American cooking,” explains Pickett. They also make for some fine eating. For the cook with every thing, Pickett offers Charlie Trotter’s T: Recipes, by Charlie Trotter (Ten Speed Press, $50). This book sets the standard for a truly over-the-top, over-sized, glamorous collection of lavish,
than-life, full-color food pho tos, this extravagant book would be a joy. Trotter, a culinary celebrity with few equals, and whose eponymous Chicago restaurant is considered one of the best in the country, followed this first book with three similar vol umes, all equally expensive and gorgeous: Charlie Trotter’s Vegetables, Charlie Trotter’s Seafood and Charlie Trotter’s Desserts (all Ten Speed Press, $50).

The text includes poems and notes from the campers as well as lots of celebrity recipe

Rocks of You’ll fin d V e rm o n t’s fo re m o s t fo s s ils a t th e P e rk in s M u seu m B y R uth H oro w itz all me a rube, but I’d never really thought about dinosaur doo-doo before. Or ancestral squid. Or, for that matter, whether Vermont has an official state fossil, and if so, where one might find it. So you can imag ine what an eye-opening experience awaited me at the Perkins Museum of Geology — one of the best-kept secrets at the University o f Vermont. Located in a single, long room on the ground floor of the Perkins Building, the liniversitys own rock hall of fame has been around for “at least 30 years,” according to Geology Department Chair Barry Doolan. Five years ago, the Lintilhac Foundation funded a face-lift for the facility. Today, hard-core rock fans are welcome to stop by, free of charge, seven days a week. All you have to do is find a place to park, flip on the lights — the door is always open, even if nobody is there — and dig in. “We have examples of all the rocks that have been exposed in Vermont over a billion years,” Doolan boasts. Excepting a few multi-million-year
C
gaps. Don’t expect to find gems from the periods between 1 billion and 600 million years ago, or 350 to 150 mil lion years ago. Materials from those periods were lost — through no fault of the museum, Doolan insists — in the rock-tumbling rise of the Adirondack and Appalachian Mountains. The first thing you do see when you walk into the Perkins is the skele ton of Vermont’s feisty state fossil, the 11,000-year-old Charlotte whale. In 1849, workers laying the RutlandBurlington train tracks found the baby beluga’s bones imbedded in thick blue clay near the base of Mount Philo. W hat brought a white whale to Chittenden County? The waters of what was then the Champlain Sea, an inland extension — via the St. Lawrence seaway — of the Atlantic Ocean. To get the full story on the rise and fall of Vermont’s great lake, you need to find your way to a quartet of colorful maps at the back of the museum. In the not-so-distant geo logical past — that is, between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago — ice

sheets measuring a mile thick in some places extended from Canada to just north of Ticonderoga. Under the weight of the glacier, the ground sank to below sea level. When the ice started melting, it left a wide lake, the waters trapped between higher elevations to the south and the unmelted ice cork blocking the outlet to the north. Mount Philo and Snake Mountain were islands, and the Champlain Islands were under water. When the remaining ice was gone, the Atlantic Ocean poured into the Champlain Basin, turning the freshwater lake into a briny sea. Later, as the land rebounded to its pre ice Age elevation, the lake took on its present shape. The Charlotte whale isn’t the only bygone beast the 19thcentury railroad workers uncov ered. The Perkins Museum is also the proud owner of the Mount Holly mammoth tusk. Unfortunately, between the time it was exhumed and the moment it was ensconced in its air-tight, arched case, the 9000to 11,000-year-old tooth became somewhat shrunken and desiccated. You can find the famous fang forming an ele gant dental bridge above the wooden cases that contain the museums Vermont Collection. Inside these cases, followers of
the local rock scene can admire samples of the states three major rock resources: smooth, deeply colored slate; metamorphic marble; and that timeless graveyard great, speckled gran ite. Among the Vermont collec tion’s other treasures are a hand

Among the Vermonti collection’s■ nil Mil treasures are a handful of gold nuggets that come naturally, from Stowe. ful of gold nuggets that come, naturally, from Stowe; bubbly black psilomelane from Brandon; and from Colchester, a hunk of dolomite that sug gests a slab of fatty meat. Not everything in the muse um carries a Made in Vermont label. The wavering lines on the twin-drum seismograph trace tectonic activity as far away as California. In the adjacent
in the volcanoes display, a little pile of gray powder is identified as ash from Mount Saint Helens. For those whose tastes veer more towards glam rock, the Perkins maintains a limited, but lovely, array of glittery minerals from around the world. In a separate dark room, back-lit agate, crystalline quartz and flourescent minerals are dramat
on a lump of green malachite and blue azurite, which has a trippy Fillmore East light-show appeal. Gourmands can gush over a slab of stilbate with chabazite that seems to be impersonating a chunk of moldy cheese. My own personal favorite is the wall of fossils, perhaps because of the cute toys that are casually paired with the relics.
A small plastic squid sits beside a cephalopod, its multi-chambered precursor. A little lobster all but holds claws with its Mesozoic antecedent. And a minuscule mammoth stands guard over remains from a real one. The fossil display is where they keep that dinosaur doodoo I mentioned earlier. The label calls these petrified turds coprolites. You’ll find them right next to the gastoliths — smooth, polished stones from dinosaur digestive tracks thought to have served the same function as gravel in mod ern birds’ gizzards. Among the other sweet pieces in this area are a slender, Paleozoic starfish preserved in black shale; a troop of accor dion-shaped trilobites, ancestors of the ever-popular horseshoe crab; and a sassafras leaf from the Mesozoic age. No trip to the Perkins would be complete without a visit to the small case of arti facts and relics related to the UVM Geology Department itself. One of the more notable items here is a little bottle of Northern Comfort maple syrup. For 10 years, legend has it, this bottle actually sat, unopened and forgotten, at the back o f a geology major’s closet.

When it was finally recovered, a fairly large sugar crystal had formed in the syrup. Once you’ve gotten over your amazement at the size of this crystal, you’ll want to take a gander at a five-inch ball of string labeled “fibrous paramite.” According to the accompanying explanation, some of the university’s most distinguished geologists spent decades puzzling over the ori gins of this strange sphere. The mystery would have remained unsolved to this day if a former graduate student hadn’t finally confessed to depositing the string in the museum as a prank back in the wacky 1960s.

coprolites. You’ll find them right next to the gastoliths — smooth,poh ished stones from dinosaur digestive tracks. The Perkins is more than worth the price of admission if you like gazing at pretty rocks, need to bone up on your pale ontology, or want to know what’s shaking in the continen tal U.S. It’s also a good place to go if you’re looking to put your life in perspective. To help you do this, the museum provides a handy time-line. Forming a frieze that runs the length of the room, the line begins with the formation of the lunar crust and ends with the present day. On this scale, the Big Bang is located beyond the museum’s walls, at the base of the Ira Allen steeple. The entire history of human evolution is repre sented in the last quarter-inch — about the width of a pencil. And your own measly life? To find out where it fits into the mix, you’d need a pretty high-powered microscope. ® The Geology Museum is open 8 a. m. -5 p. m. weekdays, 9 a. m. -5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Admission is free. To arrange for a group tour, or to volunteer, call 656-8694.

Ministry's Al Jourgensen once said, “If you can’t get it up for a Reverend Horton Heat show, then you’re a fuckin’ corpse." I couldn't have said it better myself. If you like your rock abilly rude and real fast, this Texas twister is for you. All greased hair, bodacious outfit and penitentiary yowl of 'im. The slightly more civi lized Amazing Crowns and Flat Duo Jets join in the fray Tuesday at Toast.
GOIN’ STEADY Not too many musicians start out with classical piano and end up with the righteous riddims of Jamaica. Massachusetts-based Abdul Baki — he teaches jazz piano and Afro-Caribbean drumming at U-Mass — came to believe in the power of reggae to unite all people, and his powerful performances make you believe. Not to mention skank — the former Zion Initiation keyboardist builds a rhythmic foundation in rock steady — a gentler version of ska — and American r&b. He brings his dubwise band, New Roots, to

EVERY LITTLE THING
Even for a band that started off with the ambitious name of Everything, this
Southern-fried sextet couldn’t have anticipated the smash success of The Waterboy, Adam Sandler’s current cinematic sensation, which features their single, “Hooch.” Touring for the last five years hasn’t hurt, either. They're one of the few acts to open for Phish. Coilaging rock, hip-hop, funk and, well, everything, the band’s left skidmarks on the Billboard Alternative New Artist chart with Super Natural.

RANTS & RAVES Speaking o f Higher Ground, its monthly techno night, “Lifted,” got a lift from Urb magazine recently. The ultra-hip electronic music zine’s “Clubwatch” section reports on the August 28 gig, giving props to local deejays Cousin Dave and Zack Eberz, as well as Brooklyn’s Jon Glinshor. Lifted is the sonic handiwork of Capacitor, headed up by Burlington designer Josh Brown. For a swell view of American rave flyers, check his Web site at www.capacitornetwork.com. The next Lifted? Friday, January 29, featuring spinners Dale Charles from Element Music, Boston, and residents Dave and Zack. SINGLE TRACKS The far-flung members of Gordon Stone Band are bringing it all back home with a show this Wednesday at Higher Ground. W ith Maine’s eclectorockers The Beat Roots and Boston’s Ben Swift, expect grooves galore. Also while he’s here, Stone will lay down tracks for the soundtrack to the upcoming Vermont-made film, M ud Season, at Charles Eller Studio . . . Some guys have all the luck: Burlington popster Aaron Flinn is spending a few weeks hanging (10?) with Dad — in Hawaii . . . Nice-guy groovers Strangefolk offer a holiday show — their final one at Toast — for the homies this Monday . . . If you missed Burlington’s up-and-coming teen rockers The Implants last week at the all-ages matinee at Metronome, or their November 24 appearance on “The Cherie & Yolanda Show,” on public access, listen in on “Burlington & Beyond” this Friday night at W W PV 88.7. By the way, Jim Lockridge of Big Heavy World is booking musical acts for C&Y now, so if you’d like to get dragged on, let him know (865-1144) Chin Ho! will be on December 8 . . . The Point’s Sunday morning man, Tim Downey, is starting to feature interviews & live performances with local/regional folk musicians on his show, newly dubbed “Crossroads.” O n around 10 a.m. this Sunday is Burlington singer-songwriter Katherine Quinn . . . That night, Buzz “Homebrew” features Zola Turn, who’ll be giv-

Mr. MacGregor
except for the current absence of
Morency, bassist/vocalist Chris Parizo, and drummer Gary Williams. Everything kicks off strong with the mid-tempo “Weird.” The second track, “So David Kamm Said” is my fave. This killer, pumping antidote to self-doubt features some ripping guitar work from ex-Ho! Bill Mullins, who played on and co-wrote several of these tracks. (Former bassist Dave Barnett and drummer Pat Coyne show up on a few tracks as well.) With “(I Wish I Was a) Girl” Smith unleashes yet another provocative lyrical hook and takes us on a three-minute gender-bender. Wordwise Smith keeps it clever and cryptic, but his vocal style has really come into its own. With his influences successfully internalized, Smith’s rich baritone goes a long way in defin ing the band’s sound. Long-time songwriting partner, and original band member, Morency adds nice melodies and touches like the ’80s King Crimson-like percussive riff on “Girl” and the Meat Puppetsesque one on “Eight Track.” The rhythm section locks in well — Parizo provides tasty lines on cuts like the elegiac “Song for a Dead Friend,” and Williams balances restraint with power. The 11-song disc is remarkably dud-free, though I really don’t get “Alien Corn” — maybe I gotta see The X-Files movie again. And “Closet Case” is definitely on the ponderous side. Despite the snub bing Chin Ho! often get from some local hipsters, you gotta admire their persistence. While most groups would be long since done and bitter, Chin Ho! keep fighting the good fight to put the pop back in popular. Believe the hype this time. Chin Ho! just don’t stop — and they don’t stop getting bet ter. The band has three big out-of-town gigs in the wings this month: this Friday at Arlene’s Grocery in NYC, Saturday headlining at the Philadelphia Music Conference, and December 19 at Bill’s Bar in Boston.

CLUB CINEMA W hat do you get if you pull all the couches onto the dance floor and put a 10-foot screen onstage? A film series! That would be the Tuesday night Rosebud Film Series — named after the famous sled in Citizen Kane at Higher Ground. The series got off this week to a master ful start with H itch cock’sPsycho and D ial M For Murder. While it won’t occupy every Tuesday henceforth, it looks like all the ones in December will be devoted to double feature footage from “classic” — vintage or more recent — films. Expect comfy seats, cabaret atmosphere and even popcorn. Best of all, it’s free! This Tuesday, settle in for Star Wars — all three of ’em.
THIS WEEK’S DOUBLE FEATURE: CEORCE LUCAS'

DYSCONTINUED After six years pounding the skins for DysFunkShun, Troy Pudvah is calling it quits — though he plans to keep on drumming for his other band, (sic). Time for The Blond One to settle down a little? Maybe so. “Ironically, the band is a little too busy for him — he’s wanting to stick closer to home, he’s kind of burned out,” says guitarist/vocalist Richard Bailey. But meanwhile Burlington’s answer to 311 plans to keep on keepin’ on — and is trying out potential replacements, Bailey confirms. “Troy will play with us as far as we’re booked, which is February, or until we find someone. It’s difficult to think about doing anything without Troy, but we’re going to try and see what we can find.” If you got the chops — and a DysFunkShunal personality — and let the couch be with you.

27 DOWN, MUSIC TAKES YOU AWAY (self-released, CD) — 27 Down are a young modern rock quintet, some of whom hail from the Barre-Montpelier area. I don’t know much else about these guys except that their new disc, Music Takes You Away, is a credible debut effort marred by some of the usual rookie missteps: overplaying, shaky lyrics and a sometimesderivative sound. I don’t mean to be a dream-crusher; I also hear lots of good musicianship, energy and potential here. 27 Down are Jess Colombo on vocals and guitar, Aaron Cowan on lead guitar, Erick Leggett on drums, Jeremy Schultz on guitar, and Benjamin Utton on bass and vocals. “Lobster Boy,” my favorite cut, opens with a cool Black Sabbath-like guitar riff and follows with a real melodic chorus. Unfortunately, the opening lines justify the suspension of Colombo’s poetic licence: “With wanting eyes, I cast away your great despise, a thick stare, fillets my stance into the air.” Colombo redeems himself lyri cally elsewhere, but seems to be under the influence of the Eddie Vedder chin-thrust vocal style. 27 Down clearly put in time at rehearsal; they pull off some complex arrangements and have pretty strong chops. Still, they’d do well to work on locking in together as a unit rather than packing so many fills and solos into each song. “Dead Bird,” a groovy ode to road kill, cracked me up (I assume it was supposed to) with lines like, “the world was wide open, but my window was not, and now your little neck is all twisted in knots.” Cowan’s fluid groove on “Aaron’s Song” sounds great, as does the “Sweet Child o’ Mine”-ish riff on “Labyrinth.” I also dug the Floydian feel of “Killing Time.” When they’re not shoot ing for the epic, 27 Down seem to be on their way to carv ing out their own sound. Music Takes You Away is a solid start, and I’m looking forward to when they discover that less is more. The band celebrates its CD release with a party at Toast this Thursday.

Gold F inger r im Grannis caught the goldsmith bug 22 years ago. And from a new “Gallery” in Burlington, he ^ hopes to spread his infectious enthusiasm for jewelry “sculp tures.” The University of Vermont graduate, with a degree in stu dio arts, refers to himself as a “pure-form kinda guy,” and sees his jewelry as things that would look good in front of a library, if they were 20 feet tall. Instead, they’re on display in a new home at the former Israel Solomon’s Tailor shop on Bank Street, which Grannis and his partner (and wife) Susan Hurd transformed into a Soho-style art gallery, complete with exposed brick and high ceilings — but without the New York ’tude. “This is jewelry we cart get excited about,” Grannis says of
T
his own unique, high-end gold work. In additioiYtd. his cre ations, the Grannis Galleiy hosts a rotating exhibit of spe cialty jewelers from all over the? world — many o f whom are". •_ personal friends, like one artist who specializes in Zen-themes and another who mixes 18karat gold with enamel for a mythological flavor. Grannis’ own signature style — flat gold hammered into ele gant compound curvatures — also appears in fine stores around the nation and even overseas. “It’s a pretty special ized process,” he shrugs non chalantly about his alchemical attraction. “Only a few artists in the world do what I do.” Grannis learned this specific technique from its inventor, a Finnish goldsmith who teaches at George Washington University in St. Louis. Unlike mass-produced jew elry, which is cast from molds,
Grannis’ pieces are crafted one at a time. “Trying to get two to match for a pair of earrings is a real challenge,” he explains — and as his worn hands testify. Working with tools that vague ly resemble medieval instru ments of torture, Grannis meticulously turns flat gold slabs into flattering gold shapes. Grannis has another claim to fame, one that managed to catch the discerning eyes at the Museum of Modern Art. This gem of an invention — high lighted in both MOMA’s taste ful catalog and Neiman Marcus’ popular holiday ver sion — is called “The Wallet Pen,” which fits perfectly into any billfold. Perhaps even more impressive is that Grannis did n’t just invent the clever gadget; he invented the tools used to make them. Talk about a Midas touch. ® — Nancy Stearns Bercaiv

Collection,” the candles take on a decidedly Victorian feel, enhanc ing the romanticism that candle light inherently provides. The production rooms in the back reveal how they’re done. Large vats — whimsically named after the Seven Dwarves and “the Queen” — melt enormous quan tities of wax at high temperatures. Solid rectangular “cakes” of the stuff, in a variety of hues, are batched on shelves until they’re needed. Around the room are scattered the molds for the ani mals, vases, pots and other forms — nearly all of which were made from objects scavenged by Du Mond on her frequent “antiquing” trips. One table holds a capacious box of potpourri for Du Mond’s only scented line — the intoxicating smell of beeswax is quite enough, she believes. She also points out a unique advan tage of her products: If they break, they can simply be melted down and reused. Du Mond’s elegant antique looking forms are joined by a growing assortment of seasonal candles — in the sale bin are turkeys and autumnal-themed varieties, while small Santas stand at the ready. “We’re regrouping our marketing strategy toward sea sonal stuff,” Du Mond confirms. “Everything has shifted in the gift market. The candles are made overseas and are not of very high quality, but they’re attractive.” Du Mond remains a purist, buying only natural beeswax from beekeepers, and sticking to mostly muted, earthy colors. The candles — some of them actually candle sticks and candles all in one — are so beautiful that some cus tomers say they don’t want to burn them. Du Mond is horrified at the thought. “The spirit of the candle,” she insists, “is in the light.” ® — Pamela Polston

oing in circles is perfectly acceptable at the Vermont Clay Studio. In fact, it’s encouraged — the more perfect the circle the better. Formerly located in Montpelier, the studio/gift gallery for hand crafted pottery moved earlier this year to its present happy home on Rt. 100 in Waterbury Center. And from the attractive front showroom, one has only to peek through a glass-paned door to watch potters potting — “throwing” on electric spin ning wheels, or sculpting handbuilts — almost any day of the week.
Classes at VCS meet the needs of rank beginners of all ages — one of their “mini class es” is subtitled, “I always wanted to try it” — and advanced arti sans can actually rent out a spot by the day, week or month, explains gallery display manager Tara Lipani. “Resident” potters frequently teach classes in their specialty, and a juried monthly exhibit out front is always accompanied by a reception. Let’s just say potters know how to party. They also have a sense of whimsy: VCS is no stranger to “theme” exhibits, such as November’s “Harvest Feast: Clay and Cuisine,” which paired lovely kitchen-oriented vessels
with recipes from New England Culinary Institute chefs. Another had to do with teapots, and a requisite tea party. Lipani notes that the sale of “Trees for Teens” ornaments, donated by ceramic artist Trevor Tait, bene fits a local teen center, and another “Keep the Bowl” show benefits the Food Shelf. But one of the favorite events at the Vermont Clay Studio is the annual mug show and sale in December. “Masterful Mugs and Holiday Ornaments” offers affordable, one-of-a-kind mugs that make sitting down with a cuppa joe an even more stimulating expe rience. — Pamela Polston

You Know the Drill

f you’re hoping to celebrate the bond we humans share this holiday season, make your first stop Hill’s True Value Hardware, in Burlington’s Ethan Allen Shopping Center. Oh, sure, all that peace on Earth stuff is nice, but let’s face it, modern civilization wouldn’t stand a chance without duct tape. The smell that greets you as you enter Hill’s is the first sign you’ve arrived at a sanc tuary of some kind. Who knows where the smell comes from — hints of paint, metal, dust and birdseed — but the olfactory message is clear: The glue that makes the human bond hold is in stock. The clutter of the place, too, offers the kind of reassur ance that tidy, big-box stores, with their sorry-you’re-shit-outof-luck approach to inventory, sometimes fail to offer. Bicycles hang from the ceiling in aisle 1; and a column of snowblow ers straddles aisles 5 and 6; aisle 6 is a dark alley of screws, bolts and nails. Simple, homemade signs proclaim a method to the messiness — “Kitchen Gad gets” (aisle 3), “Plumbing” (aisle 5), “Furnace Filters” (aisle 4) — while the staff, identifi
able by their royal-blue smocks with red lettering (“George,” “Irene”), lead customers through the labyrinth, dispens ing advice and bolstering confi dence that, “Yeah, that oughta work.” A trip to the hardware store almost always signifies an attempt to control the hurlyburly of life — and never more so than during the holidays. Customers dashing in to get a key made for an impending house guest can pick up such seasonal staples as gift wrap ping and Christmas tree deco rations. But even the gay exte rior of holiday cheer rests on a foundation, as the items in

aisles 1 and 2 reveal. To make a home shine merry and bright requires not only lights, but shingle tabs and gutter clips. Humoring carolers while avoiding a lawsuit calls for road salt — available in 10- to 50pound bags. The warmth ema nating from the holiday hearth must be stoked with fuel, and that means someone (probably me, hopefully my brother) is going to have to swing an ax. And what holiday host would debate the necessity of a turkey lacer, pastry crimper, cherry pitter and jar lifter? Sometimes, getting through the holidays in one piece means looking ahead to greener
pastures. If there’s someone on your shopping list with visions of warmer weather dancing in his head, Hill’s has birdseed in abundance, bird feeders, “highenergy” suet, gardening tools galore and a rack of “Perennials for Dummies.” And while we’re all waiting for the thaw, toe and hand warmers make great stocking stuffers. In the world of holiday hardware, these are impulse items. You’ll find them up near the cash reg ister, right next to the lock de icer and Slim Jims. I guess candy canes aren’t for everyone. ® — Erik Esckilsen

or a lot of youngsters, finally being invited to the grown-ups’ table at holiday gatherings is a big deal. When Connie Kite was a kid, it was another table she aspired to — one where the adults were putting together the holiday puzzle. She got that wish at age four — and she’s been making puzzles ever since. Kite admits she was spoiled. Her grandfather, a cabinetmaker, cut the family’s puzzles himself by hand — a popular craft from the turn of the century through the Depression. Along with part ner C.J. Park, Kite continues that tradition with Parkite Puzzles of South Burlington. “My grandmother had a whole closet full of puzzles made this way,” she says. “They were my delight.” Using a power scrollsaw on quarter-inch, five-ply maple, Kite cuts puzzles in the intri cate, interlocking style popular in the mid-1920s. Ranging in
size from 40 to 1000 pieces, and in price from about $14 to $1000, the puzzles are cut to look “graceful and balanced,” Kite says, with a heft that feels nice in the hand. The puzzles’ strength and durability further sets them apart from the card board variety and, no doubt, explains why antique puzzles last long enough to become collector’s items. Although power tools have made puzzle-making easier, Kite continues to cut freehand, without a pattern. As result, no two puzzle pieces are ever alike. She also uses old tricks of the trade, such as fake-edge piece and hidden contours. In keeping with a tradition start ed by her grandfather, whose surname was Dolphin, she cuts her initials into the dolphinshaped piece in every large puzzle she makes. Given her history with handcut puzzles, it’s no sur prise that Kite has a fondness for using old-fashioned images in her work. She made one puzzle from a print of an antique quilt on display in the
Shelburne Museum and another depicting an Alphonse Mucha turnof-the-century poster on dis play in the Fleming Museum. Parkite also focuses on the work of such contemporary Vermont artists as Frank Larson, Gary Milek, Will Moses, Reed Prescott and Sally Smith. “They make a nice complement to the old ones,” Kite says. For families that need something special to jumpstart their puzzle-making tradi tion, Parkite will custom-make puzzles using images selected by customers. These are priced at $1.75 per square inch. You do the math. According to Kite, a good color photocopy works better than glossy pho tographic prints and thick, archival paper. The process involves laminating the image to the wood, cutting the puz zle, assembling it, then sanding the back for a smooth finish. Kite estimates she’s made thousands of puzzles this way since she was a youngster. “It’s a hobby that got out of hand,” she says. Literally. Parkite Puzzles are available at the Fleming Museum gift shop, Burlington; Old Red Mill Museum, Jericho; Artisan’s Hand, Montpelier; and the Vermont State Craft Store in Windsor. ® — Erik Esckilsen

But the world-renowned renaissance choir Pomerium prides itself on its musical memory: its a cappella sources extend back to the Middle Ages and cover world history up to the birth of Christ. Hear original Christmas carols — by Guillaume Dufay, Jean de Ockeghem and Josquin des Pres — while you have the chants. Friday; December 4. Ira Allen Chapel, UVM, Burlington, 7:30 pan. $15.

GIVE MM ENOUGH ROPE... Artist Bill Kirby ties one on at Woody’s nomenon is not unique to Vermont, sometimes it seems like a large proportion of Vermont musicians, play wrights and painters also moonlight as painters, play wrights and musicians. Insiders in one artistic field may choose to become out siders in another because the impulse to create is not always sated by “simple” virtuosity. Perhaps to these omnivorous practitioners resolving aesthet ic issues is more satisfying than admiring the results of a seamless aesthetic resolution. Bill Kirby appears to be one such artist. His biographical statement indicates he was once a classi cal trumpet player under the baton of Leopold Stokowski, and he has written and pro duced no fewer than 10 plays.
less refined than his horn playing must be. But there is something very honest about these pieces, and the absence of polished trills and tremolos is part of what makes his work novel. There are two separate painterly approaches in Kirby’s 10 paintings at Woody’s. Both employ similar ways of organizing color, and both are so artless that they are refreshingly veracious objets d ’art. The two-dimen sional canvasses are un adorned, unframed oils of slashed-out imagery, such as in “Visions of the West.” This is a through-the-windshield view of barren, red mesa cliffs. Kirby cuts his paint with so much white that it looks as if he could not wait for the gesso to dry before
sweeping his idea through this window into space. “Red, W hite and Blue” is an abstraction full of circles that the artist describes as looking like “fish eggs” across the painting. Again, the values are very light, but o the unwavering scale E> and the rhythm of the 2 shapes are enough to 5 keep the image engaging x from edge to edge. St Color is also someIjJ what secondary in the ° three-dimensional wall m pieces on display. These are woven and wrapped from endless lengths of rope, and seem to be predominantly about texture, line, elan and the exhilaration of try ing something new. “I Hear Them Yelling at Night” and “I Owe It All to Jack” are both made of heavy rope wrapped around large stretchers complete with quarter-round and Masonite corners, yet sans canvas. They look like disjointed cobwebs, or weirs repaired by a drunken fisherman. Kirby has painted these maniacal, rectangular macrames with gesso, metallic acrylics, oil and even sprayed-on foam insulation to encrust the rope with strands of a crunchy, Cheetoh-like texture. “Stay Calm” is a tightly laced piece. It hangs from one o f its corners like a giant Hopi “God’s eye,” and has a red bull’s-eye painted in the center and a black arrow at the top pointing up. Another rope piece with a recognizable image is enigmatically entided “A.” This has a weird profile woven into it. Is this a por trait o f “A.,” or simply anoth er example of guileless eccen tricity? Either way, the work is intriguing and uniquely mem orable. The visual arts are clearly an effective means of expres sion for multi-faceted artist Bill Kirby. But if his plays are anything like the complicated weaves o f these strangely won derful rope pieces, the plot lines must make Shakespeare look like “Gilligan’s Island.”®

The printer costs extra. But WebTV doesn’t do everything a computer does. If you do want a computer, you’re faced with the “Macintosh vs. PC” decision. The iMac looks cool. Its real strength is Web surfing and email, but you get a whole com puter, too. If you’re just getting started, or you have friends with iMacs, then it’s a pretty attractive choice. We don’t find iMacs easier to use than PCs, but maybe that’s because peo ple keep calling us to help them unscramble their iMacs.

An iMac is certainly no more difficult than a PC, and per haps a little more reliable. But an iMac — at $ 1300 plus printer — costs more than the equivalent PC. When PC Magazine compared an iMac
to a PC that costs the same, they were pretty much identi cal for e-mail and Web surfing. But for stuff that a WebTV can’t do, like running programs and games, the PC blew the doors off the iMac, running twice as fast. Also, the iMac doesn’t have a diskette drive, so you’ll have a hard time sharing documents with your Macusing friends. Several compa nies offer a USB version of the Imation SuperDisk for the iMac, but it’ll set you back another $150. But the iMac is slick, and if you don’t mind spending more money for less speed, go for it. So what do you get for your information investment? Budget systems come with a 300MHz (or faster) processor — that’s how many operations-per-second your comput er can do. The very cheapest systems have 266MHz proces sors, but for an extra $50 or so, get the faster speed. You get a 15-inch screen. Seventeen inches really is better, and if you’re going to spend some time in front of the thing, spend the extra $100. You get a hard drive that can store two, four or six gigabytes. Two gig is two billion characters, enough to store this column 100,000 times, and that’s plen ty unless you store lots of pic tures on your computer. You get speakers and a 56K modem — that’s fast. If a system only comes with a 33K modem, that’s okay, too. You get a CD drive with a speed labeled
$100 and $200. Whom do you buy from? We’ve had too many bad expe riences with no-name comput ers built by people we liked. Any competent geek can buy components and bolt them together into a PC, and they’ll work — usually — with most programs. When they don’t, either you get a reasonably competent friend to put some different components in your computer, or you give up. When 10,000 IBM customers have a software problem with their hardware, Microsoft lis tens. When you and your friend in Colchester have a software problem with your hardware, well, you figure it out. We buy brand-name com puters. Lots of good cheap ones are out there. IBM has its Aptiva line, HP has Brios, Compaq has Presarios. Check your local computer store; many are dealers for these brand-name machines. “Box” stores like Staples and Circuit City also carry them. If you already have access to the World Wide Web, check out www.iDot.com. They sell wellreviewed computers about $ 100 cheaper than the other guys, but only on the Web. Figures.

WHO KILLED HIS TRANSMISSION?
Dear Tom and Ray: My Toyota Camry's transmis sion just jailed completely at 76,000 miles. It seems the differdif. ential drain plug was only fingertight when they removed the transmission, and because o f that, the fluid had leaked out. There was less than a pint o f fluid left when the transmission died. I went to my dealership, which is the only car shop that has serviced the vehicle hie since I bought it (with the exception o f the transmission replacement), and asked them to pay for the cost o f the new tranny ana tow. They claim claii that the drain plug must have vibrated loose while I was driving, and that they are not responsiblefor leaving it loose. My question to you is: I f the differential drain plug is tightened to factory specifications, could it vibrate loose under normal dri ving conditions (no off-road, only city and highway)? Thanks. Tom RAY: No. It's unlikely to vibrate itself loose. At least I’ve never heard of it happening, and I can't imagine it. If that were a plausible explanation, the coun
try would be filled with irate Camry owners. TOM: It sounds like they may be responsible for not tightening it all tne way. But how are you ever going to prove that? RAY: The only way to prove it is to check your previous repair order's. If you've had all of your regular, recommended services done at the dealership, you probably have the evidence you need. I'm sure at least one of the scheduled services (the 30.000- or 60,000-mile service) calls for a differential oil change. And many of them call for a differential oil-level check. If you can show that they serviced the differential at, say, 60,000 miles, I think you can make a good case for their negligence. TOM: Of course, under the cir cumstances, they may just plead larceny! They may say that they were supposed to change the differential as part of the 60.000- mile service they charged you for, but they didn't do it. That's the equivalent of saying, "We're not incompetent, we're just crooks!" RAY: Check the back of your owner's manual and see which scheduled "services" call for any kind of differential service. Then go through repair bills
and see if you can match one up. At that point, I’d ask a lawyer to take a look at it for you, and if the evidence is • strong, sue them. TOM: If the evidence is com pelling — if they did charge you for some sort of differential ser vice and you can show that's the only place that serviced the car — they'll probably call their lia bility insurer and offer to settle. If not, you'll have to decide how much time, effort and money you want to spend going after them. Good luck, Tom!

Dear Cecil, Exactly what occurs during the process o f cremation? What exactly remains after the process is done? I hear all kinds o f opinions on this, but I would really like to know the facts. ' — Lisa, via AOL ’
My assistant Jane asked if I wanted her to visit a cre matory so she could experience cremation in person. I appreciate the thought, I told her, but don’t kill yourself.
Fact is, we have detailed knowledge of what happens dur ing cremation thanks to investigators such as W.E.D. Evans, MD, a “senior lecturer in morbid anatomy” at Charing Cross Medical School at the University of London. It’s one of the great regrets of my life that I never took this guy’s class. In his book, The Chemistry o f Death, Evans describes the cremation process with the detached air of the true scientist. The body is placed in a special gas-fired oven and burned at a temperature of 1600 degrees Fahrenheit. Typically a wooden coffin is used, which soon collapses, exposing the body directly to the flames. “The skin and hair at once scorch, char and burn,” Evans writes. “Occasionally there is swelling of the abdomen before the skin and abdominal muscles char and split...Destruction of the soft tissues gradually exposes parts of the skeleton. The skull is soon devoid of covering,” etc. He goes on in this vein for quite a while. Here’s something you might have wondered about. “There is a popular idea that early in the cremation process the heat causes the trunk to flex forwards violent ly so that the body suddenly ‘sits up,’ bursting open the lid of the coffin, but this has not been observed personal ly, nor has this been described to the author by anyone in attendance at cremations in the London district.” Forty-five minutes to an hour is generally sufficient to consume a body, though obese corpses may take 90 min utes or more. Once the ashes cool, they’re crushed by a machine into three to four pounds of coarse white pow der (more for big folks). Sounds pretty grim, I suppose. But there’s a lot to be said for cremation, and I don’t just mean the fact that it’s less expensive and wasteful than most burials. Cecil has heard of one fellow who left instructions that the urn containing his ashes be placed on a table with a spoon in it. At the memorial service mourners were reminded that
the deceased loved to travel and were asked to scatter a spoonful of his ashes in some far corner of the world. They proceeded to carry his remains to Jamaica, Yosemite, Nepal and dozens of other places. Something almost holy about it, don’t you think? And it sure beats buying a wreath. Dear Cecil, What is the difference between white- and dark-meat chicken? In other words, what makes white meat white and dark meat dark? Steve, via AOL —
White meat is white because of the chicken’s chronic lack of exercise, something to think about next time you’re about to curl up in front of the TV for another “I Dream of Jeannie” rerun. Dark meat, which avian myologists (bird muscle scientists) refer to as “red muscle,” is used for sustained activity — when it comes to chickens, chiefly walking. The dark color comes from a chemical compound in the muscle called myoglobin, which plays a key role in oxygen transport. White muscle, in contrast, is suitable only for short, ineffectual bursts of activity such as, in the case of chickens, flying. That’s why the chicken’s leg meat and thigh meat are dark and its breast meat (which constitutes the primary flight muscles) is white. Other birds more capable in the flight department, such as ducks and geese, have red muscle (and dark meat) throughout. Muscle type is genetically determined, so we can forgive the chicken for thinking, “Hey, exercise is futile! My breast is going to stay white no matter how many reps I do on the Nautilusf’A lot of humans have the same feeling. Where’s that remote? (7) — CECIL ADAMS
