Recent reviews
Excellent 4.2 /5 from 45 reviews
I would recommend this beautiful hotel. It is well located in the center of Cuneo and therefore walking distance to just about anything you care to do. The employees and breakfast was nice. They kindly accommodated our desire to switch from one room to two. The only "problem" we had was that the mattresses were not that comfortable and one was leaning to one side.

Recent Delaware River Valley Reviews
A quaint and welcoming stop in PA
Roger was responsive and helpful in getting our group set up at the PA house! The layout and property were as described and suited a group of 9 well for a weekend away from the city. The downstairs rec room leading out to the yard was a great configuration for entertaining when part of our group wanted to crash earlier in the evening upstairs. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!
Fantastic Gateway for a family
If any one looking is looking for a quick gateway from daily hustle, I would recommend this property. The place is serene. The cabin is beautiful with all the state of the art facilities. It is immaculately clean and maintained in top condition. The kitchen is fully equipped too. The owner, Mrs. McCord is very friendly and co-operative and responds all the time. I would give five stars for her customer service. It is easily located by GPS so no nervous moments locating the cabin. ( We reached there late at night, but still could find it) I will highly recommend this property to anyone who is looking for some relaxing time away from the city lights.
Great House-Great Owners
My family stayed here over the Thanksgiving holiday-and we were blown away with the house and the property. Desiree was very welcoming and saw to our needs, and we all enjoyed the huge property and comfy accomodations. The town is close and has great food and easy essentials, but there was never a desire to leave. Plenty of room and more beautiful that even the pictures can show. Incredible fireplace! Kids loved the movies and of course the toy tractor. We will be back next year. Thanks D & D!

Bankruptcy is always the last think you expect to wake up to in this industry, or maybe I should say last thing you want to wake up to. Index Corporation, parent company developer and publisher Atlus, has filed for "Civil Rehabilitation" which is a fancy way of saying a type of bankruptcy. No, Index won't be going all THQ, as civil rehabilitation doesn't involve liquidation. However, we should all be very worried about the future of Atlus. Very worried.
Civil rehabilitation is simple a formal way of implementing, "rapid rehabilitation before a corporate failure becomes more serious." It forces the company to create legitimate plan going forward that requires approval from creditors, or potentially even establishes a committee or administrator to take guardianship over the company
As far as what this means for Atlus? Well, it's hard to say at this point as we don't know where the company is losing all of its money, or making it for the matter. It could be Atlus is important to Index's future and so they'll let it keep going as is. Atlus could also be losing money, in which case Index may be forced to outright shut it down. Or it could be somewhere in-between and Index will either try and sell the Atlus and its assets or fiddle with it in some other meaningful way.
We sen warm wishes to our friends at Atlus and hope this all blows over without consequence soon. Expect more news on Index Corporation as we here it.

Product Description:
Personnel includes: Jabbo Smaith (vocals, trumpet, trombone); Willard Brown (alto saxophone, clarinet); Omer Simeon (clarinet); Benny Carter (reeds); Zinky Cohn (piano); Ikey Robinson (banjo).
Recorded in Chicago, Illinois & New York, New York in January 1928 through October 1930. Includes liner notes by Chris Albertson.
Digitally remastered by Jonathan Wyner.
The first of two volumes by trumpeter Jabbo Smith in 1929 and 1930 features the trumpeter leading his own groups as well as appearing as a sideman. The sound is amazing on this vintage material, with Smith's powerful trumpet in the forefront, along with tight ensembles made up of various supporting musicians, including Omer Simeon, Charlie Irvis, Benny Waters (near the beginning of his very long career), and Edgar Sampson, to name a few. While Smith never came close to achieving the success of Louis Armstrong and his erratic behavior contributed to the decline of his career, this music is an excellent collection of classic jazz. Even though Smith disavowed being a part of sessions led by either Alex Hill or Lloyd Smith, several of these selections are included since they were previously thought to feature him and previously reissued with his actual work. Chris Albertson's informative liner notes are an added bonus. ~ Ken Dryden

"It's as bad as it has been for over twenty years, but then, I haven't been here all my life." — Jennifer Knapp
This post is probably, almost, 12 months in the making. I've been wrestling with something for about that long and it's taken me months to find the words. Which explains a bit of my blog silence.
I have been un-married (I count my separation, but we weren't divorced for over 15 months) for three and a half years and, in that time, I've not had what I would call a relationship. I am currently seeing someone off and on, but we've not made a commitment to each other and it's sort of one of those "we see each other when we can" sort of things."
But that is neither here nor there.
Almost a year ago, I was talking to a very dear friend of mine about the fact that I'd not really been in a relationship since my divorce, nor had I desired to.
Admittedly, people find this odd. I know people who are out hunting as soon as (or before) the ink is dry on their divorce papers. I am not that person (no judgement if you are.)
But instead of saying "That's weird" or "What the…" or anything else upon discovering I had no desire to enter into a relationship with a man since my last relationship of 16 years (total) ended, my friend looked at me honestly and asked if I'd ever considered–really considered–my sexuality, and how that played a role in my post-divorce non-dating.
I had not.
This is going to be a difficult read for some people. I wholeheartedly acknowledge that. A good portion of my readership is Christians, a good portion of that portion are those who believe that not only is homosexuality (stay with me) inherently wrong but to question anything other than "God's plan" is not healthy. If you are one for whom this read is exceptionally difficult, I'd urge you to stay with me.
Please note the following: I am not making an announcement of any sort. But since this blog has detailed my entire journey, it's appropriate to share this part here.
So, my friend set off a bit of pondering, to say the least. And I've spent, really, the last year pondering. I've not yet come to a conclusion, but I come here willing to say that, in my entire adult life, I have never had an intimate relationship with a male. That is a true story.
I have dated one other man prior to dating my now ex-husband. And I was married for thirteen years. But I still have never had an intimate relationship with a male.
I have, however, had intimate relationships with females.
I'm one of those who may very well define "intimacy" differently, and I think this is the crux of what I'm saying. So please, if this is making you twitch, hear me out.
My whole life, I've only ever had one or two close friends at a time. And, while embroiled in them, those friendships were everything to me. We did everything together. We shared every last bit of our hearts. We wrote letters and notes baring our souls, revealing things only the other would ever know (and turned these into a laminated binder 20 years later…ahem). And that is to say that when I am your friend, when we share deeply, when we love each other through the hardest, darkest of times…those are intimate moments for me. Intimacy, as I define it, is emotional and nothing more.
I've always, until recently, thought that I just "did" friendship differently. Because even in middle school (and probably further back, if I could remember), it was like this. I had a "best friend" and we were as intimate as 9 (or 10 or 11) year olds know how to be, so to speak.
And here is the weird part…through the years, the "best friend of the moment" would change. I'd grow close to someone (intimately close), we would have a fight or "grow apart", and that would be it. No working through it, no making things right, it was just done. Like a break up. A really shitty breakup.
Which explains an awful lot about me.
(I also have to say, strangely, that my ex husband actually pointed this out in his own psychological evaluation. I have no idea why the state of my friendships–or lack thereof–came up in his psych evaluation, but I know that he specifically stated I had "weird" friendships "hinging on lesbianism" but that when "something happened" I would drop them and not look back. While not entirely true, at least not as he described it, it's a rare moment of insight on his part, because it was the single most accurate thing he said about me during the course of our divorce.)
So I'm admitting here that I am openly struggling (which is not the right word, because while I consider it a struggle, it may not be for the reason that people would think it should be a struggle) with finding myself at the very least emotionally attracted only to women.
I do not–and I say this with one thousand percent certainty–have an emotional or physical attraction to men. I've tried. I've pushed myself to try, even. It's not there. Not once. Not remotely.
And I'm not even really, mostly, hardly (ok, a little, but not all the time) physically attracted to women.
But I only emotionally bond with women. And I fall hard when I do.
And I don't know if that's ok.
I just finished reading a book that made me feel…normal. The author of the book admits that his biggest challenge as a gay Christian (no, I'm not coming out) is how to have life-enhancing, emotionally intimate friendships without Christians skeeving out at two men (in his case, women in mine) being intimately emotionally bonded. It's a huge point, and I think anyone who loves me needs to read this book, because you will understand me in a heartbeat.
The Church presents physical intimacy between men and women as God's way. I don't dispute this. But what The Church gets wrong, in my opinion, or rather fails to do, is the nurturing of close, emotionally and spiritually intimate friendships. Because we don't know what to do with that. Because it's outside our normal schema.
And the author goes on to say that it his contention (and mine, after reading) that Christians who identify as homosexual are much more skilled at the art of same-sex friendship than are their peers, because they have spent their entire lives trying to appear "normal" around their same sex friends, who they may or may not be attracted to.
This man explained my entire adult life in 120 pages. (To be fair, there is far richer content than what I summarized above, and he places a a good deal of responsibility for intimate friendships on the church's acceptance of intimacy between same-sex friends as emotional, not sexual.)
No one who has ever been close to me or on the receiving end of an intimate friendship with me will ever deny that I love my friends wholly, deeply, and hard.
But this book made me think, daily, as to why that might be.
I've not officially concluded anything yet, and I've probably left you with more questions than answers.
But I think the lyrics I quoted at the beginning (from a former Christian artist who left contemporary Christian music to live a quiet life with her girlfriend) sums it up well. This is by far the largest spiritual challenge of my adult life. I don't know how it will end (or if there will ever be a conclusion.)
But I do know that I am capable of intimate love in ways that you probably won't understand unless you've been loved by me in that way…and if the latter part is true, you are now probably scared.
You're not alone in that. This is what I've been dealing with, every day, at the forefront, for the last year. And I'm coming to peace with it. Whatever "it" is.
"The opposite of loneliness is not togetherness, it's intimacy." Richard Bach

i am originally from Toronto, Canada. i hold a business degree in Advertising and Marketing, and worked in that field and Publishing for over 25 years before i looked to make a change in my life. when i first left Canada i came to Costa Rica in the winter of 1992, (over 25 years) and fell in love with the area right there and then. I purchased a little piece of paradise where i am now living permanently. I am an artist that has a contractor business here, and i also publish our local newspaper called THE DIRT ROAD. i am currently divorced, living on the property in my first home i built myself back then when there was no electricity and no water, with just 3 Costa Rican's and a lot of luck. I live here permanently with my two dogs, Akun and Nicoya. I am an entrepreneur from the start, when i came to Costa Rica our village had just got electricity so i started our first bakery, called 'la casa Rosa', delivering pizza and fresh baked bread to our very small population...i later moved on to the manager and chef at Star Mountain resort in MalPais...i also had a massage practice and created beach parties for the young tourists in the early years... Shortly thereafter i purchased this property and started building my paint contractors business. In 2009 i started our village newspaper called The Dirt Road. i have worked in the many homes of Mel Gibson as the main Paint Contractor and color consultant here in Costa Rica and MalPais, and well as many other homes of the rich and famous here. I fell in love with our area the moment i saw it, and still believe it is the best part of Costa Rica. over 25years have passed and I'm what most locals refer to as an 'old school' resident. i love it here and especially grateful i can share my love of the village, and the incredible nature with my guests.
april aboud purchased this house in 2000
I have seen all of Costa Rica in my first 5 years when I came here in 1992 and besides Playa Santa Teresa being voted as the top 5 beaches in the world, i personally don't think there is a more beautiful beach anywhere. I have watched this area grow from No electricity and No phone lines, and a population of about 30 families, with only 2 little local restaurants, 2 public schools, no banks or even a grocery store; into the current village we have now, which includes 4 private schools, 30 international cuisine restaurants, 10 yoga studios and spas, famous surf breaks, 5 grocery stores, banks, doctors, and a population of over 1,000 families. And i still love it here ! In 2000 I decided it was finally time to buy land, and although i could have traded my car for a piece of beachfront land in 1994, when i started to look for my paradise, i looked to the small hillside that follows our coastline for miles. i wanted to be up and above the growing crowds, but still close enough to be a part of the village. This is a very special piece of land, above the emerald green jungle, looking at the gem of the pacific for miles and miles. I own this little knoll overlooking the best of the best. I have NO neighbors on either side of me, (because I'm on this knoll). I rest about 50 meters above it all, so you can actually see the beach, the palm trees and the surfers catching the waves. Whether you like watching the monkey's pass by, tropical birds or relaxing with a cup of tea and a good book, or how about a margarita to watch the amazing sunsets, or sit by the pool and stargaze all night. The Emerald Abode is my own private sanctuary, and i'm happy to share it with my guests....it is truly the gem of Santa Teresa for me. this is a non-smoking property.
Over the past 25 years i have had many visiting friends and family, all saying the same thing about my property. Everyone that visits mentions the amazing energy of the land and the truly amazing large views. But it wasn't until 2013 that i decided to build a rental home to share this beautiful piece of paradise with others. So my second home, the Emerald Abode, was designed for the visitor. This Tropical house was designed open air to nature, to take advantage of the amazing views, the sound of the ocean waves 24/7, and fresh air! Each room has a large ocean view, with the jungle below creating an emerald carpet, making a perfect back drop for sitting back and relaxing. Some have said the view inspires, and as an artist i know why. Living outside of the hustle and bustling of the big cities and even our little village here, one can hear the tropical birds and migrating monkeys in the early morning, watch the iguana's and little gecko's playing all day, and hear the crickets and tree frogs at night, but the most spectacular part of this property, is to see and hear the ocean 24/7. The rhythm of the ocean is really hypnotic and can roll away even the most stressed situation, making this the perfect relaxing and romantic place in Santa Teresa. Dreams feel possible when you're sitting and enjoying the Emerald Abode.
My husband and I just returned from honeymooning at the Emerald Abode and we cannot say enough great things about this entire experience! For starters, April (the host) is amazing. She was the best of both worlds- She was extremely respectful of our privacy and never once showed up unannounced but she was also ready to help us at a moments notice. She is full of recommendations for activities and restaurants, she helps book tours and sunset massages and taxis if needed, she answered all of my four million questions and never acted as if it was a hassle, and she went above and beyond for us numerous times (like when we lost the keys to our rental car... she had it all taken care of and a new key on its way in a flash so we didn't have to spend our honeymoon trying to resolve it).
As for the Emerald Abode... It is a really incredible property. The view was breathtaking. Every morning we woke up and made a delicious cup of Costa Rican coffee (which is provided) while listening to the waves crash on the shore nearby. We could also hear the monkeys talking and the birds chirping in the forest below. It was just incredible! Although the property is mostly open air, we never had any issues with bugs. We simply did as April suggested and left the screens closed on the bedroom, we didn't leave food laying around, and all was fine! The 2 person hammock is such a great place to relax, and you absolutely have to watch the sunset from the private infinity pool right outside your door. It's also worth noting we don't sleep well while away from home and we slept better here than we ever have.
The property is also in a fantastic location. The locals are friendly and you will not find a shortage of once-in-a-lifetime activities in and around Santa Teresa. We snorkeled and explored the local beaches and the lava rock formations, we took a catamaran to a beautiful island and snorkeled there as well, we zip lined through the jungle with the monkeys and saw breathtaking views of the beach, we jumped off waterfalls, rode horses down the beach at sunset, rented an ATV and ventured to more nearby beaches (there is no shortage of beautiful beaches nearby, you are surrounded by them) and we ate the most amazing food. The experiences we had were absolutely priceless! We could not have imagined in our wildest dreams a more perfect and unforgettable honeymoon than what we had at the Emerald Abode and we cant wait to return!
This property and place is a gem! Not to mention, the owner April, provided an experience that was beyond what we expected. We were on our honeymoon and relatively new to traveling abroad. April took the time to answer all of our questions and assist in anything we needed. She provided fresh fruit upon our arrival as well as a bottle of champagne to celebrate our marriage. The packet she provided was extremely informative and gave us all the tools we needed to make our stay amazing. Now, for those of you looking for a 5 star resort type vacation, this probably isn't for you! Even though the accommodations were 5 star, you are staying in a small, quaint, surf town with dirt roads and no sidewalks. We knew this going in and it was what we wanted to experience! You will be living outdoors! In an open air residence! Which again, is what makes this experience that much more beautiful and enjoyable. We prepared ourselves to battle mosquitos and bugs. April also provided many different types of repellant for our use. During our stay, we kept the bedroom screens closed and it was free from insects. We were pleasantly surprised when we had no issues with mosquitos. I dont believe I saw a single one. Moths will flock to the lights, but if you keep them dimmed or off as April recommended, there are no problems. I simply cant recommended this property enough. The view from the pool is to die for and the restaurants in Santa Teresa are some of the best I have been to. Leave the pricey, extravagant resort behind and experience the culture. I can assure you, you will not be disapointed!
April is a wonderful host. She honestly thinks of everything and is so generous and thorough. It was so nice to arrive late in the evening and find a full fridge with cold beer and coffee and fruit for the morning. Her guest house is indescribably beautiful. It is really well maintained, clean, comfortable. It sits in the middle of the jungle overlooking the ocean. It is private, romantic and safe.
We just got back from a week-long stay at the Emerald Abode and had an amazing time. If you are looking for something different, a great location with lots to do, and a peaceful place this might would be perfect for you. First off, April is not your typical VRBO owner, but acts as a concierge. Once we booked with her, she was extremely helpful providing detailed notes for getting there, about the property, and about the Nicoya Penisula. Her recommendations were spot on for companies to use, restaurants, and activities. For us, she truly was a savior after we experienced cancelled flights, change in airports, and lost luggage on our trip down. Due to her contacts, we were able to get our luggage delivered to Santa Teresa, which we believe would have been lost without her. Plus, April does tidy up the kitchen, bathroom, and pool daily and empty your trash, something we did not expect. She is easy to work with and definitely has your best intentions in mind!
The Emerald Abode is a simple, open air, tastefully decorated place. It is basically a bedroom, bathroom, and open air kitchen/lounging area. There were no chairs inside the house, only bar stools at the counter and a hanging hammock for relaxing. The bedroom is screened in and has sliding glass doors that will close it off allowing for AC. We chose to keep the doors open at night to hear the waves and feel the breeze. We didn't notice bugs in the bedroom, but there were bugs in the open air porch area (it is Costa Rica), especially at night and if the lights were on. We preferred to lounge in the hammock with the lights off under the fan, which kept the bugs away. To know, April is not joking when she says you need a 4-wheel drive vehicle. The roads in Santa Teresa are rough. It is a fairly steep dirt road to the Emerald Abode. We were there during the start of the rainy season, and the road had some areas that were washed out. If you are not used to driving in 4-wheel drive or on dirt roads, it may be a difficult drive to the place. We had a manual Bego which was perfect – 4 wheel drive and compact. If you are willing and able to make that drive, you will be rewarded with spectacular views. Those can't be beat and are the perfect backdrop for lounging by the pool, eating breakfast (lunch/dinner/drinks), and from the bedroom. Sunsets…wow. Overall, loved Santa Teresa. Quaint town with lots to do – snorkeling, surfing, hiking, waterfalls, fishing, great food and people from all over the world.
I do not recommend this property unless you like being dirty and sleeping and eating with a plethora bugs. I would describe this as open-air. There are only two walls with no openings to the outside. If you don't want to be swarmed with bugs, go elsewhere. The screens on the bedroom do not keep out bugs even if religiously closed. There were bugs in the bed at night, and dead bugs between my boyfriend and I in the sheets in the morning. The bathroom is also open air. I did not sit on the toilet seat due to bugs. As for the kitchen, you cannot cook without bugs galore and enjoy wiping the counter of bugs in the morning with the one dish towel you get. I had to leave. I am not one for camping. We stayed at three other places in Costa Rica during this trip, including another in Santa Teresa, and we did not have the same issue with bugs.
Please know you will get one set of towels to last you a week. Normally okay, but it is hot and buggy. Also, the jacuzzi was discolored. Not knowing what it was, I would not sit in there.
Most disturbing was how the owner was unprofessional. When we talked the day of our arrival, she told me she was not doing okay. Not what you want to hear when you are on your way to have a carefree, fun vacation. She also lives on the property and will yell up to you--so much for privacy. Additionally, when I told her about the bugs, she claimed she saw no evidence of bugs (small and black and could not be photographed against the dark wood) the next afternoon and asked me the "REAL reason I left". I have received no resolution from her or HomeAway.
There are some great places in Santa Teresa that are clean with great views, privacy, and wonderful people. Your dream vacation awaits you elsewhere.
Honeymoon or just a vacation, the Emerald Abode was the PERFECT place to stay! And let me tell you why...
-April was incredibly helpful before we even booked. She answered all my questions about getting there from the airport, about the town, car rental accomodations, etc...anything and everything that would help me make my decision to book here. Once we booked, she was still very helpful in answering all of my nit-picky detailed questions, I felt very prepared for our trip. She helped in arranging our taxi from the Tambor airfield to Santa Teresa, and even had the taxi driver prepared to drop us by the ATV rental to pick that up and we followed him with our luggage up to the rental property.
-The house is beautiful! Open air, great views from every room in the house, and super secluded. April's house is just down the hill, but you still have tons of privacy. I particularly loved the open-air shower, super refreshing!
-Santa Teresa is such a fun little town! Tourist-y enough that you can get around without knowing much (or any) Spanish, but still authentic enough that you actually get the feeling of travelling outside the country. You aren't just in an American-ized city in another country.
-It might have been the time of year we went (I think it was the beginning of the "rainy season"...even though the week we were there the weather was PERFECT, only rained/stormed at night), but most of the beaches were so quiet and unoccupied. A few times, my husband and I were the only ones on the beach!
-The ocean water was the perfect temperature! Never too cold, even in the evening, and still refreshing in the heat of the day!
-Snorkeling at the volcanic rocks was super fun
-Day trip to Tortuga Island was awesome, they have snorkeling gear for you, but once they drop you off at the beach for the afternoon they won't let you take the gear with you (So bring April's with you if you want to snorkel more around the beach!). The travel guides were very professional, fun, and helpful. And the lunch they provided was delicious!
-Hiking the waterfalls at Montezuma is a MUST -- sitting under the waterfall was my husband and I's #1 favorite memory of the trip. Hike up to the 2nd and 3rd and swing on the rope swing and jump off the cliffs!
-Surf Lessons at Kina Surf Shop -- YES!
-Get coffee from The Roastery, Gary is awesome & has fun suggestions, and the coffee is delicious!
-Eat at Caracolas and Habaneros, our 2 favs and sunset views on the beach during dinner!
the village of Santa Teresa is the vacation spot for the rich and famous. often you will see movie stars roaming the beach, or having coffee at our local bakery. this is an international village, with over 70 restaurants serving international cuisine, 20 surf shops with surf instructors, 10 yoga/pilates studios, famous surf breaks, lots of souvenir shops, and much much more.

We complain about a two-party system that's stuck in ideological ditches, but somehow it never occurs to us to embrace pragmatism, the uniquely American philosophy that was created as a reaction to ideological stagnation. Unless Republicans and Democrats getting madder at each other suddenly starts working, maybe it's time to give pragmatism a chance.
For decades conservatives have advocated scaling back the role of the federal government in transportation, yet the federal gas tax that was supposed to end in 1969 is still hanging around 46 years later. Fortunately, there is a feature of the current law that gives states the the upper hand, and they should seize the opportunity to act.

This is very tasty. Try using Laughing Cow cheese instead of cream cheese.. or use both to complete the 8 ounces required. It gives it a very nice flavor. :) Great recipe!!
I tinkered with this to cut the carbs. I used 3 medium-size zucchini and cut the onion to 3 tablespoons. I also sprinkled a dash of italian seasoning in. The rest stayed as-is. Lots of flavor.
This was quick, easy and very tasty! I reduced the amounts to make just two servings because I had just over a cup of chicken broth to use up. I minced a clove of garlic and added it, and seasoned the soup with pepper. Between the broth and the cream cheese it didn't need any more salt. Even my zucchini-hating four-year-old liked this soup. I wish I'd made the full amount so we'd have some leftovers.
I made this for my dinner tonight, and YUM! I did make some changes (I'm a tinkerer, sorry)... firstly, I cooked it in a crockpot - cooked on low for about 4 hours. I used all the same ingredients, added 1 tsp of minced garlic. In the last 30 minutes I added the cream cheese (softened or at room temp is best, to get it to incorporate more easily), 1 chopped scallion, and about 1/4 cup white wine. Also, instead of slicing the zucchini I grated it - I cut the zucchinis in half so that the grated pieces were about 2 inches long, and it produced a very nice texture; I did not puree any of the soup. I used about 1 1/2 cups chopped onion. This is a very tasty soup! Thanks, crispychick (and Shelley!). :)
An excellent basis for the soup i made today! I added orange bell peppers, garlic, and lots of oregano. YUMMY!
I followed the directions to a T and it came out completely aweful! I threw the whole pot out. It was bland and boring.
WOW!!!!! My entire family loved this soup!!! I have 2 very picky eaters and they weren't told it was zucchini till after they ate it. They loved it and asked for more... Bravo Crispychick!!!! This was a huge hit. Next time I might try it with broccoli and cheese but otherwise the same.... mmmm
Liked this one!! I also tweaked per the second reviewer, minus the white wine. Fast and easy to make. Thanks for a keeper!

The article could be vastly improved by adding relevant subtitles and categorizing the information. Wikipedia is essentially an encyclopedia and currently your article read more like a personal essay, or as something that is trying to sell the character. There are a lot of points that repeated throughout the entire article. The first few sections have no refrences at all - are they personal descriptions? (Personal research is not allowed on Wiki). I would also be careful with what kinds of terms you use, such as 'specifically', especially when that area is not referenced as it makes it seem like you are trying to make a personal point. Overall though, there is a lot of information in there. Trieka Ayer (talk) 17:21, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

I agree that the information could have been divided up into smaller sections to make for a more approachable article. While it is evident that the research has been done there could be more direct quotations included to make it clear that the information is not personal research or opinion. I like the inclusion of the sidebar of information to provide a quick overview. As a whole i think the article is very informative and accurate based on my viewing of the movies, however it could be cleaned up a bit in terms of subtitles.

A Collection of Myths and Legends

Solar Creation Myths
IN the literature of celestial mythology, the legends that relate to the creation of the chief luminaries occupy no small part. It was natural that primitive man should at an early date speculate on the great problem of the creation of the visible universe, and especially in regard to the source whence sprang the Sun and the Moon.
This great question, of such vital interest to all nations since the dawn of history, presents a problem that is still unsolved even in this enlightened age, for, although the nebula hypothesis is fairly well established, there are astronomers of note to-day who do not altogether accept it.
The myths that relate to the creation of the sun generally regard that orb as manufactured and placed in motion by a primitive race, or by the God of Light, rather than as existing before the birth of the world. In other legends, the Sun was freed from a cave by a champion, or sprang into life as the sacrifice of the life of a god or hero.
These traditions doubtless arose from the fundamental belief that the Sun and the Moon were personified beings, and that at one time in the world's history man lived in a state of darkness or dim obscurity. The necessity for light would suggest the invention of it, and hence a variety of ingenious methods for procuring it found their way into the mythology of the ancient nations.
Of all the solar creation myths that have come down to us, those of the North American Indians are by far the most interesting because of the ingenuity of the legends, and their great variety. We would expect to find the same myth relating to the creation of the sun predominating, as regards its chief features, among most of the Indian tribes. On the contrary, the majority of the tribes had their own individual traditions as to how the sun came into existence. They agree, however, for the most part, in ascribing to the world a state of darkness or semi-darkness before the sun was manufactured, or found, and placed in the sky.
The great tribes of the North-west coast believe that the Raven, who was their supreme deity, found the sun one day quite accidentally, and, realising its value to man, placed it in the heavens where it has been ever since.
According to the Yuma Indian tradition, their great god Tuchaipa created the world and then the moon. Perceiving that its light was insufficient for man's needs, he made a larger and a brighter orb, the sun, which provided the requisite amount of light.
The Kootenays believed that the sun was created by the coyote, or chicken hawk, out of a ball of grease, but the Cherokee myth that related to the creation of the sun was more elaborate, and seems to imply that the Deluge myth was known to them.
"When the earth was dry and the animals came down, it was still dark, so they got the sun and set it in a track to go every day across the island from east to west just overhead. It was too hot this way, and the Red Crawfish had his shell scorched a bright red so that his meat was spoiled, and the Cherokee do not eat it. The conjurers then put the sun another handbreadth higher in the air, but it was still too hot. They raised it another time, and another until it was seven hand-breadths high, and just under the sky arch, then it was right and they left it so. Every day the sun goes along under this arch and returns at night on the upper side to the starting place."
This myth reveals a belief, common to many of the Indian tribes, that originally the sun was much nearer to the earth than now, and his scorching heat greatly oppressed mankind. Strangely enough, although it can be nothing but a coincidence, the nebular hypothesis of modern science predicates that the solar system resulted from the gradual contraction of a nebula. This implies that the planet earth and the sun were once in comparatively close proximity.
Among the Yokut Indians, there was a tradition that at one time the world was composed of rock, and there was no such thing as fire and light. The coyote, who of all the animals was chief in importance, told the wolf to go up into the mountains till he came to a great lake, where he would see a fire which he must seize and bring back. The wolf did as he was ordered, but it was not easy to take the fire, and so he obtained only a small part of it, which he brought back. Out of this the coyote made the moon, and then the sun, and put them in the sky where they have been to this day.
The significant feature of this myth is the fact, that, contrary to the general notion, the moon's creation antedated that of the sun. The explanation of this seeming incongruity appears in the legend of the Yuma Indians given above. The moon, although created first, did not give sufficient light, hence it was necessary to manufacture a source of light of greater power and luminosity.
The legends of the Mission Indians of California reveal an altogether different view of the situation. In the myths cited above, the sun was manufactured to add to man's comfort. In the following legend the Earth-Mother had kept the sun in hiding, waiting for mankind to grow old enough to appreciate it; so, when the time came, she produced the sun and there was light.
In order that the Sun might light the world, the people of the earth decided that it must go from east to west, so they all lifted up their arms to the sky three times and cried out each time, "Cha, Cha, Cha!" and immediately the Sun rose from among them and went up to his appointed place in the sky.
One of the Mewan Indian sun myths reveals a novel tale to. account for the presence of the sun. These Indians regarded the earth as an abode of darkness in primitive times, but far away in the east there was a light which emanated from the Sun-Woman.
The people wanted light very much, and appealed to Coyote-Man to procure it for them. Two men were sent to induce the Sun-Woman to return with them, but she refused the invitation. A large number of men were then sent to bring her back, even if they had to resort to force. They succeeded in binding the Sun-Woman, and brought her back with them to their land, where she ever after afforded people the light that is so necessary for their well-being. It was said that her entire body was covered with the beautiful iridescent shells of the abalone, and the light which shone from these was difficult to gaze upon.
According to a Wyandot Indian myth, the Little Turtle created the Sun by order of a great council of animals, and he made the Moon to be the Sun's wife. He also created the fixed stars, but the stars which "run about the sky" are supposed to be the children of the Sun and Moon.
The following Yuma legend indicates that the moon was considered by their ancestors as of greater importance than the sun: "Kwikumat said, 'I will make the moon first.' He faced the east, and placing spittle on the forefinger of his right hand rubbed it like paint on the eastern sky until he made a round shiny place. 'I call it the moon,' said Kwikumat. Now another god, whom Kwikumat created, rubbed his fingers till they shone, and drawing the sky down to himself he painted a great face upon it rubbing it till it shone brightly. This he called the sun."
There is a tradition among the Pomo Indians of California, that, in very early times, the sun did not move daily across the heavens as it does now, but only rose a short distance above the eastern horizon each morning, and then sank back again. This arrangement did not suit people very well, and Coyote-Man determined to better conditions, so he started eastward to see what the trouble was with the sun.
He took with him some food, a magic sleep-producing tuft of feathers, and four mice. On the fourth day he arrived at the home of the sun people, who received him cordially, and a great dance was arranged in the dance house. In the midst of this building the sun was suspended from the rafters by ropes of grape-vines.
Coyote-Man liberated the mice, and told them to gnaw at the grape-vine ropes that held the sun. Meanwhile, he danced with the sun people, and, by the aid of the sleep-producing feathers, he succeeded in stupefying all the dancers. The mice by this time had freed the sun, which Coyote-Man seized and carried off with him. On his home-coming, the sun was laid on the ground, and the people discussed what should be done with it, but Coyote-Man decided that it should be hung up in the middle of the sky. This difficult task was delegated to the birds, but they all failed until it came the crows' turn. They were successful in hanging up the sun, and it has remained in its proper place ever since.
The Apache myth agrees with most of the Indian myths as regards the darkness that traditionally reigned over the world, and the peoples' desire for light, but their notion of the creation of the sun itself differs materially from the other Indian myths.
The myth relates that, originally, the only light in the world was that which emanated from the large eagle feathers that people carried about with them. This was such an unsatisfactory means of illuminating the world, that a council of the tribe was called for the purpose of devising a better system of lighting. It was suggested that they manufacture a sun, so they set about it. A great disk was made, and painted a bright yellow, and this was placed in the sky. The legend does not relate how this was accomplished. This first attempt at sun-making was not altogether successful, as the disk was too small. However, they permitted it to make one circuit of the heavens before it was taken down and enlarged. Four times it was taken down, and increased in size, before it was as large as the earth and gave sufficient light. Encouraged by their success at sun-making, the people made a moon, and hung it up in the sky. It appears that this light company's business, and its success, aroused the ire of a wizard and a witch who lived in the underworld. They regarded the manufacture of the sun and moon as presumptuous acts on the part of man, and attempted to destroy the luminaries; but the sun and moon fled from the underworld, leaving it in perpetual darkness, and found a safe abiding place in the heavens, where they have ever remained unmolested.
The Navajo Indian legend of the creation of the sun, moon, and stars is decidedly novel, and reveals the wide range of the imagination of primitive man in his conception of the creation of the celestial bodies.
The early Navajo, it appears, in common with many other Indian tribes, met in council to consider a means of introducing more light into the world; for, in early times, the people lived in semi-darkness, the obscurity resembling that of twilight.
The wise men concluded that they must have a sun, and moon, and a variety of stars placed above the earth, and the first work that was done to bring this about was the creation of the heavens in which to place the luminaries. The old men of the tribe made the sun in a house constructed for this special purpose, but the creation of the moon and stars they left to other tribes.
The work of creating the sun was soon accomplished, and the problem then presented itself of raising it up to the heavens and fixing it there. Two dumb fluters, who had gained considerable prominence in the tribe, were selected to bear the sun and moon (for they had also constructed a moon), Atlas-like, on their respective shoulders. These were great burdens to impose on them, for the orbs were exceedingly ponderous. Therefore, the fluters staggered at first under the great weight that bore them down, and the one bearing the sun came near burning up the earth before he raised it sufficiently high; but the old men of the tribe lit their pipes and puffed smoke vigorously at the sun, and this caused it to retire to a greater distance in the heavens.
Four successive times they had to do this to prevent the burning up of the world, for the earth has increased greatly in size since ancient times; and, consequently, the sun had to be projected higher in the heavens, so that its great heat would not set the world on fire.
It will be noted that the language of the myths, as translated, has been followed closely. This was in order to bring out more fully their quaint imagery. The Indian was ever a poet, and a study of the tribal legends reveals many charming bits that would lose their beauty of expression were they transposed into the diction of our more prosaic tongue.
In the Ute Indian myth which follows, it appears that the sun had to be conquered and subjected to man's will, before it would perform its daily task in an orderly and regular way.
It is related that the Hare-God was once sitting by his camp-fire in the woods waiting the wayward Sun-God's return. Weary with watching, he fell asleep, and while he slumbered the Sun-God came, and, so near did he approach, that his great heat scorched the shoulders of the Hare-God. Realising that he had thus incurred the wrath of the Hare-God, the Sun-God fled to his cave in the underworld.
The Hare-God awoke in a rage, and started in pursuit of the Sun-God. After many adventures, he came to the brink of the world, and lay in wait for the object of his vengeance. When the Sun-God finally came out of his cave, the Hare-God shot an arrow at him, but the sun's heat burned it up before it reached its mark. However, the Hare-God had in his quiver a magic arrow which always hit the mark. This he launched from his bow, and the shaft struck the Sun-God full in the face, so that the sun was shattered into a thousand fragments. These fell to the earth and caused a great conflagration.
It was now the turn of the Hare-God to be dismayed at the results of his actions, and he fled before the destruction he had wrought. As he ran, the burning earth consumed all his members save his head, which went rolling over the face of the earth. Finally, it, too, became so hot that the eyes of the god burst, and out gushed a flood of tears which extinguished the fire.
But the Sun-God had been conquered, and awaited sentence. A great council was called, and, after much discussion, the Sun-God was condemned to pursue a definite path across the sky each day, and the days, nights, and seasons were arranged in an orderly fashion.
The following Cherokee Indian myth reveals the Sun as the arbiter of man's fate: "A number of people were engaged to construct a sun, which was the first planet made. Originally it was intended that man should live forever, but the sun, when he came to survey the situation, decided that, inasmuch as the earth was insufficient to support man, it would be better to have him succumb to death, and so it was decreed."
In Creation Myths of Primitive America, by Jeremiah Curtin, there is a particularly interesting solar myth. It is, therefore, given in much detail, as it is considered one of the most remarkable of the solar legends. As a pure product of the imagination, it ranks with the best examples of Egyptian and Grecian mythology.
The myth relates the efforts of a wicked and blood-thirsty old man named Sas, to kill his son-in-law, Tulchuherris. After many ineffectual attempts to accomplish his fell purpose, he proposed a pine-bending contest, for he felt sure that, by getting his son-in-law to climb to the top of a lofty tree, he could bend it low, and, by letting go of it, suddenly hurl the object of his enmity into the sky and thus destroy him.
Tulchuherris had, however, a wise protector hidden in his hair, in the guise of a little sprite named Winishuyat, who warned him of his peril, and enabled him to turn the tables on his wicked father-in-law.
In the words of the myth: "He [Tulchuherris] rose in the night, turned toward Sas, and said: 'Whu, whu, whu, I want you Sas to sleep soundly.' Then he reached his right hand toward the west, toward his great-grandmother's, and a stick came into it. He carved and painted the stick beautifully, red and black, and made a fire-drill. Then he reached his left hand toward the east, and wood for a mokos [arrow straightener] came into it. He made the mokos, and asked the fox dog for a fox-skin. The fox gave it. Of this he made a head-band, and painted it red. All these things he put into his quiver. 'We are ready,' said Tulchuherris. 'Now, Daylight, I wish you to come right away.' Daylight came. Sas rose, and soon after they started for the tree. 'My son-in-law, I will go first,' said Sas, and he climbed the tree. 'Go higher,' said Tulchuherris, 'I will not give a great pull, go up higher.' He went high and Tulchuherris did not give a great pull so that Sas came down safely. Tulchuherris now climbed the tree, almost to the top. Sas looked at him, saw that he was near the top, and then drew the great pine almost to the earth, standing with his back to the top of the tree. Tulchuherris sprang off from the tree behind Sas, and ran away into the field. The tree sprang into the sky with a roar. 'You are killed now, my son-in-law,' said Sas, 'you will not trouble me hereafter.' He talked on to himself and was glad. 'What were you saying, father-in-law?' asked Tulchuherris, coming up from behind. Sas turned, 'Oh! my son-in-law, I was afraid that I had hurt you. I was sorry.' 'Now, my brother,' said Winishuyat, 'Sas will kill you unless you kill him. At midday he will kill you surely unless you succeed in killing him. Are you not as strong as Sas?'
