I don't own any of JKs beautiful knives yet so I'm going to hope I luck out with just one entry.

This is my favorite instrumentals from one of my favorite bands Pink Floyd. Even if you strongly dislike them (the psychedelic thing ain't for everyone) I would really suggest giving it a listen. It is nothing like their songs that are played on the radio and really shows their range as great musicians. The background video are scenes from "Planet Earth" from the Discovery Channel, which I feel makes for a truly sublime six minutes. I like to think it fits in with all the awesome photos and stuff in this thread.

Thanks for the chance.

Thanks for entering bw.
Love the planet earth series,those people spent years getting some amazing shots from all over the world.
But this is my favorite Floyd.(and it must be cranked)

Don't get me started Myke, shop talks always dull (edit: i just re-read my response and deleted a bunch, got to talking)

An archaeological time frame is often much wider I'm afraid, without contextual or some other exacting evidence. Interaction is a tricky thing to trace as is trade before the written word especially (and I think after it also!)

At some points plants can be traced by there genetic variants and it seems at a certain point a well domesticated set of "founder crops" as one author calls them and others have followed, set out from somewhere in this region of the fertile crescent out in all directions (and then towards Europe,) but it is perilously difficult to say which area within that area "started first."

Trade and contact (direct of indirect) is common and no culture has ever existed in a vaccum as a friend of mine liked to say. But which groups linked with which and who traded what - and for what - is awkward to think cement in, we do know that wheat (the founder crop of all founder crops) came from this region, and spread outwards. Sumer also being a likely first "civilization" based on crop cultivation (although where they came form and if they concord, killed or breed with the people who were there to begin with is another uncertainty! whcih does matter a little because they may have brought crop cultivation with them, rather then found it there.)

Cultural exchange happens in a number of ways ( as we describe them) but new ways of life don't just diffuse (or acculturate!) over for the sake of it or because of contact. There has to be pressure and satisfaction, in other words, it has to be acceptable to the culture, and needed by the society. (many many different view points on this one BTW.)

A popular idea at the moment is that environmental pressure (like a climate change) led to large scale adoption of crop cultivation of hunting and gathering world wide so those who were doing it developed it and those that could followed suit, those that couldn't died out or eked out a very dwindling life in a world full of societies growing in population along with their crop cultivation efforts. But then again a number of groups were in contact with crop cultivators, and traded with them, and yet never took it up (again some say they hadn't the environment to!) but many don't like the idea of a "beginning" since you don't just walk out into a field one day and have at it, it takes time for technological development, understanding, and observation - it's process of many 100's if not 100's of years before we find people doing it in earnest, not a date on a calendar, they say.

Yes exchange takes time, sometimes it doesn't though (like the Cherokee syllabary that was basically invented and adopted producing 100% literacy over night after contact with Europeans who used writing), and is often rejected like japans initial acceptance then rejection of guns as a new technology. Receptivity creates it's own problem (which another author recently suggested we solve by saying "it's just fucking random, okay" essentially he did anyway)

Why the disclaimer? because the world, as much as it might feel different, if very under explored in terms of archaeology, (try organizing a dig in turkey, or Iran for that matter.) Egyptian writing was always thought to have come after that found in areas like Sumer, because it happened so quickly and was newer, but then more recent discoveries seem to pre-date those in the fertile crescent, clovis artifacts seem to be the most definite date of human occupation in the Americas, and yet it seems every year more evidence show up to disprove that pushing us further and further away from the time frame of a ice passage form one continent to another and towards...some other explanation for how we got here.

About the only thing for certain is that we know about 5% of the story we keep having to adjust and re-invent to fit it all. It''s kind fun,

And yes i know I rambled too much there and probably didn't answer the question very well, but my main interest is in stories and how we tell them to each other so....

it is a good question though

Uhhhhh,what question?

Couldn't simultaneous emergence mean weeks or months & maybe even years,in an archeological time frame? If so,I would think that the interregional exchanging of ideas would play a part in a seemingly simultaneous emergence of the same practices or events.

Trading has always been a way of commerce,so it's only logical that better cultigens (or the knowledge of) would have been traded,and of course that exchange would take time.

This one.

Ok slow down!



Let's go back to the bomb, what's inside?

Now back to the buffalo droppings......I don't want to say they look delicious but they look delicious! What's inside those?

The bacon bomb is done a lot of different ways. But I mostly do it this way here. 3 lbs fresh ground pork with onions peppers and cheese on the inside all rolled into a log. The. Basket weave the bacon and seal up the pork log.

As for the atomic buffalo turds. I cut the top of a mucho nacho pepper. Pull seeds out. Then I fill it with creme cheese and wrap it with bacon. They are delicious but hot. Most folks use jalapeños and they work great also. Most people also cut then in half length wise instead of cutting the top off but I think you get better results my way as more cheese stays in and the bacon cooks more evenly. They now make cool little holders to cook them in also.

Sorry I don't know why that YouTube video won't imbed but they do the bacon bomb right! It's delicious. Maybe because I'm doing it from my phone.

I tried it from my Mac & it wouldn't take here either.
No biggie,it's just a click away.

On to another thing that makes me happy! My garden and some of the amazing produce. It's in full swing now. some monstrous tomatoes. some awesome peppers. most are mexibell's and cajun bell peppers. the taste of bells but with the heat of a jalapeño! delicious
