Somehow the MSR Hubba Hubba HP was left off of the BPL Scoring Chart, despite being "the best shoulder season, non-extreme winter tent I've ever used".Nov 3, 2010 at 7:43 am #1660613

Bob, I noticed that too. I guess the HubbaHubba HP must score a 6 on a chart that only goes to 5… kind of like amps that go to 11 ;)
Nice report Ray, thanks for the effort. It's good to see the mainstream slowly lightening things up. I've been pretty impressed by the MSR and Big Agnes tents I've seen lately.Nov 3, 2010 at 8:37 am #1660632

Call me crazy, but I just don't consider mesh to be a "wall". To me these mesh inner tents are nothing more than than a tarp with a mesh inner tent.
That said, it is good to see a couple true double wall tents in the lineup.Nov 3, 2010 at 8:53 am #1660635
It's a wall because you can't move through it, even if it is mesh. It will prevent you from touching the outer fly if wet from condensation. It can also be decent at blocking a little wind.Nov 3, 2010 at 8:57 am #1660638

Thanks for catching that. I shot the missing row to Addie. But if you want to see it:
2, 4, 4.5, 4.5, 5, 5, Yes, 4.5, 3.5, 3.92, 4.4
Plus it looks like the Specs table is not linking, at least on my browser. We will look into it.
RayNov 3, 2010 at 9:01 am #1660640
I'm a little disappointed that several double walled options didn't make it. LightHeart Gear, Mountain Laurel Designs and Alpinlite all make tents that can fit two people and are double walled (a mesh inner and a rain fly). They are all much lighter than most of the tents listed here. Are you planning on doing a report on single person double walled tents? If so, then maybe you could include offerings from those companies. To be honest, most of the tents listed in this review are just too heavy for me.Nov 3, 2010 at 9:05 am #1660641
Can you please list the weight of tent in the chart (not just a ranking). I think this would make it easier to get a quick summary of the tent. Thanks.Nov 3, 2010 at 9:11 am #1660642

I agree, it is essential.
I think it should be included in the article.Nov 3, 2010 at 9:56 am #1660667
Ralph B AlcornSpectator
I'm with Tim in that I don't think mesh should be considered true double wall. The whole point of the double wall is to keep moisture off you and your gear. I found this report to be interesting and useful, but it was not what I was hoping for when I saw your last week's newsletter promising this week's article.
I have a Stephenson's Warmlite 2R which is a true double wall less than 4 lbs, and they have a lighter version which is a little shorter. I'd like to see a comparison of true double walled tents.Nov 3, 2010 at 10:33 am #1660686

Some here say a tent with a mesh inner is not a true double wall. Others point out that a number of double wall tents with mesh inners have been left out. In the latter case, there are a lot of tents which are shaped tarps with mesh inners that have bathtub floors. Just because with some of these combos the fly and inner tent are sold separately, why would that disqualify them as double-wall? In addition to those already mentioned, I'd include the SMD Haven and the GoLite Shangri-La 2 with nest. These are just as much double-wall tents as those listed in the report–assuming, of course, that a net inner qualifies as the second wall!Nov 3, 2010 at 10:51 am #1660696

"…assuming, of course, that a net inner qualifies as the second wall!"
The reviewer includes many tent bodies with "mostly mesh" walls.
Why didn't he include "XZY"? Maybe in Part Two another 26 tents can be highlighted. ;-)
Good work Raymond.

So are the crazy shipment problems from Big Sky fixed? Haven't heard anything about them for a while? Everybody give up?Nov 3, 2010 at 11:05 am #1660701
"The whole point of the double wall is to keep moisture off you and your gear."
It does. In fact, droplets of condensation will likely not make it through the mesh as it is so fine. It also protects you and your gear because you don't bang the fly.
Shall we have a discussion on what constitutes truly freestanding? I'm in the mood.Nov 3, 2010 at 11:11 am #1660703

Hey all – sorry about the specs table – the code was poorly written (by me). And Ray got me the spare line for the table, so other than the debate about all the tents we left out, things should be good!

I'm not taking a position, just pointing out that from either point of view there are problems! I am not a double wall tent fan! I'd rather have my condensation accessible where I can wipe it off!
While I like the idea of a tent to keep my dog confined at night (I know, he could go through the wall any time he wanted, but he doesn't know that!), I'm seriously considering a tarp. If I could find a two-person bug net that, with a tarp, would be significantly lighter than my GG Squall Classic, I'd switch now!Nov 3, 2010 at 11:38 am #1660713

@richardglyonLocale: Bridger Mountains
Actually the 2R and 2C are not true double wall tents. Only the center is double, the ends are single wall, and while fairly good at limiting condensation aren't perfect. Not as good as my other winter tent, from Hilleberg, which is a full double wall.Nov 3, 2010 at 12:33 pm #1660735
Lynn TramperMember
@retropumpLocale: The Antipodes of La Coruna
Agreed the Stephenson's tents are not fully double walled. They also don't stop condensation from dropping on you, or you brushing up against the condensation, so even in function they don't act like double walled tents (mesh or otherwise)
Curious the Haven wasn't reviewed. Oh well, so many tents, so little time and money!Nov 3, 2010 at 2:19 pm #1660777

@summitjunkyLocale: alaska
I was wondering why Scarp two says it is not freestanding and why the wind protection is only rated a 4? I own this tent so I know it is free standing you just need the extra poles. It is a 4 season tent so I am wondering its weakness? Or is this rating based on the one pole summer setup?Nov 3, 2010 at 2:24 pm #1660780
Raymond EstrellaMember
@rayestrellaLocale: Northern Minnesota
Yes the weight and rating is based on the mesh inner, single pole version. I owned it too. (Bought, not received ;-)Nov 3, 2010 at 2:51 pm #1660792

@mad777Locale: South Florida
The way I see it, there may be two different reasons for wanting a "double wall" tent. In muggy, buggy tropical areas (my native Florida) a tent like the Big Agnes Seedhouse allows one to get maximum ventilation by leaving off the fly and not get eaten alive by bugs.
In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (where I have a vacation home), two solid walls to help insulate from the cold of winter and exclude blowing snow is an argument for double walls.
So, as with all our gear, we have to ask ourselves, "How, where and under what conditions, am I going to use this."Nov 3, 2010 at 5:35 pm #1660845
I know you reviewed a bunch of tents, so asking you to review more sounds crazy. However, I can think of a few ways in which you could have easily done this. First, you could have dropped your 4 pound limit to 3 pounds. Or, you could include companies that actually give you the tent after you pay them (sorry Big Sky). Doing so would allow you to feature a lot more interesting options (like those offered from MLD, LightHeart Gear, and Alpinlite).
One of the things I really like about your website is that it allows me to find out about cottage gear makers — folks that aren't listed in Backpacker. You did this earlier in the year, with your article about companies that won't be showing gear at OR (http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/orsm2010_kickoff.html). This article, unfortunately, does not feature those type of companies (with the exception of TarpTent and maybe a couple others). I guess you could have specified that each tent in this group must include their own poles (which it does) but that seems like a strange stipulation for an ultralight publication.Nov 3, 2010 at 5:42 pm #1660847

AFAIK MLD, LightHeart, and Alpinlite don't offer double-wall tents.

The Christmas Tree Ship
Just thought I'd share one of my favorite maritime Christmas stories...
By November 22, 1912, Captain Schuennemann and his crew of lumberjack-sailors had loaded around 5,500 trees aboard the 123 foot three-masted schooner Rouse Simmons, better known as the Christmas Tree Ship. They were in Thompson Harbor near Manistique, Michigan in northern Lake Michigan. Several other ships in the area were postponing the sail down Lake Michigan because of stormy weather. Captain Schuennemann must have thought carefully about his departure window. Interestingly, some of the crew also had thoughts about the timing of the departure. Several claimed to have seen rats leaving the Rouse Simmons recently, which is a bad omen obvious to even non-sailors. Others may have been put off by the plan to leave on November 22 a Friday. Read the rest of the story here.
What's your favorite maritime Christmas story?
Re: The Christmas Tree Ship
Great blog... nice, appropriate story for the season. Interesting how the wreck looks simply 'put there'...
Re: The Christmas Tree Ship
Nice post! Thanks for bringing the shipwreck and story to my attention.
Merry Christmas to another Grand Rapids sailor,
Re: The Christmas Tree Ship
I read the title and I thought of the "Santa Ship" that makes the rounds of the San Juan and Gulf Islands each year. Not really a maritime story, but pretty unique. The Bellingham Lions Club charters a big boat and a group of about 50+ get all costumed up and they travel around the islands, stopping at several places each day letting the island kids get to sit on Santa's lap and giving presents, balloons, etc. Most of the kids wouldn't have a chance to see Santa otherwise, and it's pretty special to see this big boat arrive with Christmas carols blasting out the speakers and Santa and Mrs. Claus out on the bow waving. I'm not sure why they stop at our island since there are so few of us here and usually only a couple of kids, it might have something to do with the HUGE hot feast we have waiting for them (this year there were two turkeys, a ham, and two big picnic tables full of everything from smoked salmom, local prawns, homemade chocolates and about a dozen desserts. Some exceptional cooks here). My grandson, who just turned three last week was the only kid here this year so he of course was the star of the whole thing and is absolutely sure that the "Santa Ship" just came to see him. It's really special and the whole island (all 20 +- of us) looks forward to it each year. Here are some pics.
Re: The Christmas Tree Ship
Love it. Great pics. Warms my heart to see all the happy faces. Happy Holidays. I'm spending my Christmas Eve on the boat.

06.06.2014 / For immediate release
Car dealer in the driving seat to reach fundraising targets
A businessmanfrom the North East of England is on course to reach his fundraising goal after topping the £110,000 mark for his charity, The Emaan Foundation.
Nas Khan, managing director of Jennings Motor Group, which operates Ford, Kia, SEAT and Mazda dealerships across the North East, kick-started his fundraising appeal in 2010, following the devastating floods in Pakistan.
He's embarked on the final phase of fundraising after recently presenting a cheque for the sum of £50,000 to Othman Moqbel, chief executive officer of Human Appeal.
Nas teamed up with Human Appeal and set himself a target of £120,000, which has not only contributed towards providing life-saving aid, but it has also helped towards building an entire new village, which has been named The Emaan Village after the charity, for the people of Rahim Yar Khan, south of Punjab in Pakistan.
Nas said; "The generosity from family, friends, colleagues, local businesses, schools, colleges and the general public has been absolutely incredible and I would like to thank everyone for their very kind, generous and continued support since we launched the appeal four years ago."
Othman Moqbel said: "We are so grateful to Nas and all those generous people who contributed to his appeal. There is so much hard work to be done in places all over the globe where thousands of people are suffering hardship through natural disaster or conflict. Shelter is such a vital part of the aid we provide, giving people a place to begin to rebuild their lives."
Money raised to date has not only contributed towards providing essential life-saving aid in the form of water purifying LifeStraw units which were despatched when the disaster initially struck, but it has also contributed towards building The Emaan Village, consisting of 60 homes, in addition to a deep tube well being installed which is providing clean water and livestock making the village self sufficient. Bio gas plants have resolved the problem of energy shortages in the area providing electricity to various households.
Nas added; "I am absolutely delighted to announce that we are now in the final phase of our fundraising activity with only £10,000 left to raise, which I'm extremely confident we will achieve over the coming months."
Fundraising events in the past have consisted of dinners, auctions, raffles, golf events, in addition to a clothing re-cycling initiative.

by Jerry Cullum - For the
"Leiko Ikemura:
Dreams, Fragments, Females"
Verdict: Ikemura's small works sometimes outrank her already
exquisite large ones.
Japan's long fascination with childlike cuteness has attracted much
comment lately. The 55-year-old artist Leiko Ikemura incorporates
the roots of that fascination into a serious aesthetic vision.
Ikemura, who represented Japan in the 1999 Melbourne International
Biennial, has long lived in Europe. Distance, plus her own distinct
imagination, gives her perspective. Though her works bear subtle
indicators of their culture of origin, a few pieces in this show
also seem to reference European myths, such as the birth of Venus or
Leda and the Swan.
In the drawings, in particular, Ikemura has incorporated traditional
Japanese ideas of harmony into a vocabulary borrowed from childhood.
The subtle rightness of her choices, plus the immediate appeal of
her style, makes for a potent combination.
Ikemura is a visual poet of small, intimate moments of daily life,
at least the daily life of the archetypal girls/women she creates.
So it comes as no surprise that her pastel and crayon drawings
should be among her best works.
The oil paintings and bronze sculptures stretch her topics in
mysterious directions. The drawings offer elemental activities.
"Falling" or "Sleeping" or "Standing" have seldom been so purely
expressed in such a genuinely childlike drawing style.
That is, they give the illusion of childlike lines. In reality,
Ikemura is totally in control of these naive-looking marks. The
authentic spontaneity might even elicit the famous words, "My
6-year-old could do that." Skeptics should rest assured that they
never, ever could.
It takes a special sensitivity to maintain this balance of
spontaneity and control. The art critics in Ikemura's many
exhibition catalogs load down this work with an immense weight of
theory, but all that counts is that she puts the gestures of
childhood drawing in the service of grown-up perceptions and
As the quite wonderful exhibition title, "Dreams, Fragments,
Females," indicates, art critics also make much of the fact that
there are no men in Ikemura's artwork. But this isn't obvious in a
first casual viewing. Just as Ikemura's spontaneous marks exist
independent of cultural boundaries, her general topics and
situations will be as familiar to men as to women. "Universal" is a
cuss word these days, but Ikemura comes as close as anybody to being
Sunday, July 2, 2006
by Donald Kuspit
Why should the
unconscious, which possesses the means for awareness
of our bodily intimacy, be blocked when it comes to the vagina?
Janine Chasseguet-Smirgel, "Freud and Female
Sexuality: The Consideration of Some Blind Spots in the
Exploration of the 'Dark Continent' "(1)
Little girls, grown women, sometimes together, suggesting mother and
daughter, sometimes apart, suggesting loneliness--this is the
constant theme in Leiko Ikemura's art. Repeated over and over, with
an obsessive versatility and variation, Ikemura's females are
clearly emanations from her unconscious. They are invariably
haunting, dreamlike, often no more than an elusive, almost
immaterial trace in her paintings and watercolors--a ghostly
revelation of a figure, a peculiarly muted hallucination, as Out
of the Shadow, 2000 and Standing Sideways in Dark Red,
2000-2001 indicate. These works have the same intense blurriness as
Redon's dream imagery: they too are created of nuances of
color--ingenious touches of delicate color, instantly communicating
a curiously melancholy if also sensual mood. They occupy an
important place in the history of what Redon called "suggestive
art," his modernist version of visionary spiritual art.
Ikemura's terracotta sculptures are much more conspicuously
material, but also with the same haunting interiority--the same
blurred, moody flesh, so reminiscent of Medoro Rosso's sculptures,
as Ikemura's terracotta heads of the mid-nineties make clear.
Sometimes Ikemura¹s females are standing, more often they are
reclining, as though asleep and dreaming. Crucially, from a formal
point of view, they are all fragments--incomplete bodies, sometimes
missing legs, sometimes arms, and frequently featureless. This gives
them an archaeological look, as though they were ruins excavated
from some ancient burial site--trophies of the past, memorable
relics, found by chance. But they are not simply the victims of
time: they seem to have been wounded by life-doomed to be
wounded--as the tearful Dolores (One-Legged), 1998
suggests. "When you are sad," Ikemura wrote, in advice to the mother
and children in her painting Day, 2000-2001, "walk behind
the orange colored shadows and observe the blue horizon," but the
sadness and the sunset remain. Similar words accompany her sculpture
Catwoman with Tail, 2001: "we have hidden and forgotten our
wings on our backs." Clearly they've been clipped. "See the world
completely from below, almost creeping, then you can fly in the
cosmos," Ikemura writes, referring to her sculpture Leaning on
the Eyes, 1997. (The German title, Sich auf die Augen stützend,
is more and ambiguous and resonant, for 'stützen' can mean taken
aback, falter, or clip, a point made more explicit in Yellow
Figure with Three Arms, 1996, two in her eyes and one in her
mouth.) But such flight is clearly escapist, like observing the blue
horizon--where heaven and earth, infinite and finite space meet,
evoking the feeling of the sublime--as many figures do in Caspar
David Friedrich's paintings. Ikemura's flights of fancy--her
aesthetic fantasies of female identity--enact rather than relieve
her suffering.
Dolores's pathos is emblematic of the impacted emotionality of
virtually all the figures. They may be particular individuals, but
their featurelessness gives them an archetypal look--dramatically in
the unexpectedly forceful terracotta figures of 2004, if, more
generally, fatalistically. Indeed, Ikemura's figures seem to be
resigned to their fate--the fate of being female. Whether inspired
by Japanese models, as in the sculptures Figura Lu, 2002
and Figura Li, 2002-2003, or typically Western, as in the
oil paintings Duck Tears I and II, both
2004, and standing together or apart--sometimes in the same picture,
as in Ocean III (Between Horizons), 2000-2001--Ikemura's
females are peculiarly insular, poignant, and passive, suggesting an
incompletely realized yet unavoidable femininity. Such vigorous,
hyperactive figures as Ma-San, Miu-San,Wu-San, and
Ho-San, all 2004--they are mounted on phallic pedestals,
indeed, seem to grow out of them, as in Pu-San and
Chichi-San, both 2004, where the column becomes a kind of tail
(more dragon-like than cat-like to my eyes)--are the rare exception
that proves the rule.
Now the startling thing about such terracotta sculptures as
Lying with the Face Holding and Lying in Cherry-red,
both 1997, Lying Figure with Face on Miko and Lying in
Turkish Dress, both 1998, is the huge cavity at the base of the
figure. The same cavity appears in Lying, 1996 and in each
of the figures in Upon the Other, 1997, and, disastrously,
in Yellow Dress with Orange Bird, 1995 and Double
Figure with Bird in Arm, 1998, where the cavity of the body is
visible through the empty space--enormous hole—where the missing
head should be. From the beginning Ikemura had a troubled sense of
body, as the headless Baby Green, 1991 and White Figure
I and II, both 1992 suggest, and the trouble seems to
have grown greater.
Beneath the dress is a gaping hole through which one can see the
hollowness of the figure. Who will--indeed, can--fill it? Is it a
symbol of female unfulfillment? Who dares enter what Freud called
the dark continent of the female body? Is it a cornucopia of wonders
or a Pandora's box of evils, whatever the hope at its bottom? But
does an abyss have a bottom? Who dares penetrate the depths of the
female underworld, get to the bottom of the female mystery? Only the
all-powerful phallus--the really bold, daring, heroic male, driven
by both ambition and lust--dare do so. One immediately thinks of a
sentence in Freud's Three Essays on Sexuality (1905): "The
processes at puberty thus establish the primacy of the genital
zones; and, in a man, the penis, which has now become capable of
erection, presses forward insistently towards the new sexual
aim--penetration into a cavity."(2) The cavity in Ikemura's lying
female figures is an elaboration--a fantasy enlargement--of an
engulfing vagina. At one end of the figure, the small
head--sometimes damaged, as though crushed--at the other end the
huge genital cavity, exhibited for all to see, and enter if they
dare. There is nothing repellent about it--it may signal castration
to a neurotic male, but there is nothing ugly about it--but it is
not exactly inviting. Indeed, it is as forlorn, empty, and
abandoned--unresponsive and unreceptive--as the figure herself,
abjectly lying on her face, as though beaten down and defeated by
life. She may wear a blue dress or a cherry-red dress, but they do
not make her happy. The colors are soft and muted, as though faded.
She is in effect performing her own death--a living death, no doubt,
but still a death. Indeed, the slabs on which the sculptures were
displayed when they were exhibited in the Japanese Pavilion of the
1999 Melbourne International Biennial resemble the slabs on which
bodies are laid out in a morgue.
The flat slabs can be read as a minimalist foil to the rounded
figures, giving the works a post-modernist character--abstract
geometry and figurative representation exist side by side in the
same work, abruptly juxtaposed rather than harmoniously integrated.
But the conflict suggests the emotional conflict between formal
control and abandonment to emotion evident in Ikemura's works. While
Ikemura's work shows the influence of Japanese culture and art, with
its haiku-like restraint and intensity--concentration building to a
climactic epiphany (she acknowledges the influence of haiku poetry,
as an idea if not a form)--she began her career as a German
Neo-Expressionist, as a number of 1991 works make clear. She
eventually established her independence by dealing with her feminine
and Japanese identity, although her paintings remain informed by
Rothkoesque abstraction and, more subtly, the romantic naturalism of
European landscape painting, all of which have been transformed to
serve Ikemura's sense of idiosyncratic and multicultural--finally
transcultural--identity. She has in effect integrated Japanese and
German, and more broadly modernist and traditional, ideas of art in
her own unique way. (Prominent among the 1991 works are
Squatting with Dark Hair, 1991 and the various O.T.-W.T
paintings. Their figurines suggest the influence of Georg Baselitz's
pandemonium imagery and perhaps Jean Dubuffet's art brut imagery,
while Ikemura's watercolors have a certain affinity with those of
Beuys. Her Head Footer, also 1991 clearly shows the
influence of Horst Antes's breakthroughKopffüssler figures,
generally regarded as the first significant postwar German
Neo-Expressionist figuration.)
Where, then, is the heroic penis--the mythical phallus--that dares
enter this dark female cave? It is striking that nowhere in
Ikemura's oeuvre is there a painting or sculpture of a man. There
are only females, adolescent or motherly. All of them are implicitly
self-symbols--symbols of Ikemura's own dialectical femininity. Each
female figure is a cosmos unto itself--"sea after dying, sea after
giving birth," Ikemura has written—and together they form a cosmos
in no need of men. Man has not simply been ousted, but he doesn't
exist--indeed, never can exist in Ikemura's atmospheric paradise.
Ikemura's paintings strongly suggest a kind of "oceanic
experience"--a fragile yet seamless merging with the cosmos in which
one forfeits one's individuality, and, more deeply, ecstatically
loses one's sense of being an independent person or autonomous self,
dispensed with in the "mystical" experience as an unnecessary
illusion. Thus Ikemura's figures dissolve into illusions--vivid,
magical illusions, but nonetheless transient illusions in the
timeless oceanic atmosphere, which seems to have a sublime substance
of its own.
Freud has argued that oceanic experience involves unconscious
regression to the womb--archaic merger with the archaic mother. It
is a fantasy merger with the imagined penis of the so-called phallic
woman--the pre-Oedipal, all-powerful mother on whom the infant's
life depends. Indeed, dependence--amae, the so-called dependency
syndrome(3)--is a subtext of Ikemura's imagery: again and again we
see mature women and immature girls standing together, as though
emotionally clinging to and re-fueling one another, to use the
psychoanalyst Margaret Mahler's concept. The tail that many of
Ikemura's woman possesses suggests that they are phallic mothers.
(The horn-like ears of Hare Woman, 1990-91--an
acknowledgement of the influence of Joseph Beuys, who regarded the
hare as a mercurial messenger between the underworld and upper
world--are its antecedent.) Indeed, Ikemura's phallic women are as
dynamic and powerful--full of aggressive strength--as the penis at
the moment of its penetration into vaginal cavity, where it is
contained and spends its power. But the phallic woman—the eternal
feminine that is the all-encompassing mother--never loses her power
and authority in the infantile part of the mind. They are
mythologized into the eternally erect phallus of the Magna Mater.
Ikemura's adolescent girls cannot completely separate from this
awesome, sacred figure even as they cannot unequivocally identify
with her—although Ikemura does by way of her creative power, that
is, the power of giving birth to subtle works of art. When they do
separate, they are lonely and melancholy, full of the unfathomable
sadness emblematic of her absence—the depressive misery of a
mysterious loss that has happened in the mythically remote past of
infancy, as the psychoanalyst Charles Brenner has suggested. Ikemura,
then, is the adolescent girl, the motherly woman, and the sublime
atmosphere--they are all parts of the personal drama she enacts in
her art. The adolescent girl symbolizes psychosexual immaturity, the
catwomen are in principle mature phallic mothers, and the erotic
oceanic atmosphere that engulfs both--it informs their flesh in the
sculptures--is the medium of their merger. Ikemura's forlorn girls
suffer from separation anxiety, which they "heal" by regressing to
the mother for whom they long.
The Miko doll that appears in many of Ikemura's works is a symbol of
the problem of separation-individuation they address. The
obsessional redundancy of the works suggests the depth of the
problem. The doll is a superb example of what the psychoanalyst
Donald Winnicott called a transitional object--something invested
with the mother's aura and unconscious meaning yet something that
the child experiences as objectively the case. Ikemura's Miko doll
is her security blanket--a reality that is found in the world but
that is also emotionally created. The poignant, enigmatic beauty of
Ikemura's paintings and sculptures--inward as well as outward
beauty--is an indication of their emotional profundity. They are a
profound reminder of the vicissitudes of female identity.
(1)Janine Chasseguet-Smirgel, Sexuality and Mind: The Role of the
Father and the Mother in the Psyche (New York and London: New York
University Press, 1986), p. 12
(2)Quoted in Ibid., p. 11
(3)Ikemura's works seem to represent the Japanese dependency
syndrome in all its complexity. Robert C. Christopher, The Japanese
Mind (New York: Fawcett Columbine, 1983), p. 69 notes that the amae
"relationship is as binding psychologically upon the protector as on
the protected. This combination of constant maternal attention and
all-embracing love gives Japanese children an enviable sense of
security in their early years, but...it considerably complicates
male-female relations, since both men and woman are always
unconsciously trying to find someone who will love and cherish them
as uncritically as Mama professed to--which, in most cases, is
obviously a foredoomed effort" (p. 68). One might add, as Ikemura's
work makes clear, it impacts on one's sense of identity at the
deepest level--the level of the body ego, which Freud regarded as
the first ego and as such the foundation on which every other sense
of ego is built. One senses that Ikemura is constantly
rebuilding--struggling to re-create--a body ego that keeps
collapsing, as the seemingly age-old traces of damage that mark it

Butter Warmers
Melted butter is the perfect companion of popular seafood dishes such as lobster and crab legs. It also goes great with such artichokes, shrimp, haddock, and other fish. They are designed to keep butter warm and creamy, letting customers dip their food into the rich, melted butter as they desire. Butter warmers consist of a small metal ramekin on a stand with a candle holder underneath. As the candle is lit, it will heat the butter in the ramekin above it and melt it. After the butter is melted, the candle keeps the butter heated without having to worry about it boiling over. Butter warmers are great for portion control, with a 2 oz. ramekin you always know how much better you are getting.
Usually made of chrome or stainless steel, butter warmers are built to last a long time. They are heat resistant and durable. The only thing you need to worry about replacing is the candle! Foodservice Superstore has a great selection of butter warmers from top brands such as Focus Foodservice and Vollrath to bring you the very best quality for the price. Their sturdy base and simple design is perfect for serving melted butter to your delighted customers.

On the ground floor there is another bathroom with shower.
The house is fully installed with a hot and cold air-conditioning system.
There is a large swimming pool alongside a smaller children's pool, with shower and toilet facilities.
My name is Steve, married to Margaret. We have three grown up daughters and five grandchildren, with one on the way. We love to spend as much time as we can in Portugal as the kids love the beaches, the swimming pool and of course the weather. My past time is golf and where better to play golf than in the Algarve?
Steve Bigland purchased this house in 2010
We chose our property because we regularly holidayed in the Algarve and fell in love with it. The people are friendly, the beaches are amazing, the golf courses are some of the best in the world and you couldn't ask for a better climate.
We love so much about our property but the main attraction for us is the peaceful location, the stunning views and the large living accommodation. The kids' favourite part of the property is the open spaces and the large pool!
had a great time house fantastic pool great for kids never busy! .very peaceful location would recommend highly
My Family and I had a wonderful and unforgettable stay in Albufeira. At first glance i knew i had selected the perfect place to spend our 7 day holiday.
The Complex itself was the perfect oasis of calm, providing a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. All rooms were of a good size and the bathrooms were immaculate.
The pool was a nice size, clean and rarely had anyone in it, the smaller pool was also great for small children.
Venturing out to the old town the beach or into villamoura is only a short drive or taxi away, we used the bbq a couple of nights which was of a high standard.
I would highly recommend staying here for families or friends alike and will definitely return for a holiday in the near future.
We took our little girl to the Algarve last year and we had a brilliant time. Steve (the owner) was very helpful from the time of booking until check out. We could not fault the property and it was just as we expected and more. The swimming pools were great for our little one. Everything was very clean, modern and well maintained. The views from the balcony made it for us and the location was perfect as it is was very peaceful but at the same time was close to the resort centres with all the bars and restaurants! We love to take our daughter to the beach and we were spoilt for choice. We would certainly recommend this holiday home and we look forward to staying again ourselves this coming June!
A propriedade tem excelentes condições para duas famílias com crianças.
A localização dentro do aldeamento é excelente bem perto da piscina.
O um excelente barbecue.
Perto de Albufeira mas longe da confusão.
la residence était calme et pleine de verdure , la piscine était propre et en partie du temps libre à y accéder sans problème , les gens sont très sympa et coopératifs, les portugais en particulier étaient très gentils et accueillants et très respectueux à l'égard des autres spécialement , le centre commercial à coté dispose quelques magasins de marque ou vous pouvez faire du shopping tranquillement , en général un pays à revisiter et expérience à refaire avec un grand plaisir
The Vila Branca complex is a brand new, modern and well maintained development which is located just outside Albufeira between Vilamoura and Vale Navio set in the very pretty Algarvean countryside. There is a small cafe directly opposite the complex and several bars, cafes, restaurants and a supermarket on the main road which is about 10 minutes walk from the complex. The townhouse is a 5 minute drive to Albufeira's famous strip with its bars, restaurants and late night entertainment and the old town of Albufeira is a good family night out. The resort of Vilamoura with its famous marina is approximately 15 minutes drive. The very pretty fishing village of Olhos d'Agua is also about a 7-8 minute drive from the complex and offers a quieter, more relaxed day or evening out.
There are many beautiful beaches to visit as well as water parks and a Zoomarine in the local area. There is also the Albufeira bullring which some of our guests have recommended.

The 22-year-old's onslaught bettered the previous mark of 11 jointly held by Lankan swashbuckler Jayasuriya and lusty-hitting Pakistani Shahid Afridi and set in 1996.
Marshall made merry on the minnows' attack, belting his highest limited overs score from just 118 balls, which also included 11 fours as Windies piled on mammoth 303/4 in 50 overs. Leon Johnson knitted a fine 77-ball 51. Debutant Brendon Nash chipped in with little useful 28-ball 39*cameo.
In reply, Canada was bowled out for 254 in 47.2 overs. Opener Rizwan Cheema top-scored for the hosts with 89. Nash was the pick of Windies bowler with the figures of 3/56. Spinner Mohammad returned with 2/34.

Ricciardo ready to move on...from Ferrari questions
By Alan Baldwin
SPIELBERG, Austria (Reuters) - Daniel Ricciardo would rather move on.
Not from his Red Bull Formula One team, which the Australian is now committed to contractually until at least 2018, but continuing questions about his future and a possible switch to Ferrari.
He and the team made clear weeks ago that options had been taken up, but Ricciardo was asked again at the Austrian Grand Prix on Thursday to confirm he was staying for the next two seasons.
"Yeah, yeah," he replied.
Asked for more detail, some flesh on the bones, he added: "Every word I say...one word turns into 10, and then 30 and 50. So, I'll just leave it at that."
Pressed further, Ricciardo said it was his decision as much as the team's.
"We want to win. This year is going to be tough for a world title but obviously where we are this year is where we are," he said.
"But looking ahead to next year, and spending time with the team and seeing what's ahead, I think it's the best place to be to try to challenge (champions) Mercedes, so that's where it stems from." Continued...

Problems removing the exhaust for RMS replacement
I'm replacing my rear main seal right now, and I've been stuck for about 5 hours on the 4 bolts that hold the exhaust pipe to the manifold. I got 3 out, so one whole pipe is loose, but the 4th and final one will not come. The nut on top of it has a tab that is supposed to catch on something but its not.
I'm beyond frustration and am contemplating putting it all back together and dealing with the dang leak.
Anyone have tips on how to get this bolt, all of the writeups are just so dang flawless it seems like. "Oh yea, just remove the bolts so you can move the pipes to get the pan down". Yea right!
Oh and I would just put an end wrench on the nut.....but they are a weird shape and size, nothing fits on the darn things

Love it when celebs ramp up the airport with their styles!
It's so funny that Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan's styles are also clashing at the airport a week before Rustom and Mohenjo Daro's release. This is seems to be a lot about clash of the titans. We all know and are very excited for the clash of Akshay's Rustom and Hrithik's Mohenjo Daro that is slated to release on 12th of August i.e. next Friday. Although it's gonna be a very interesting clash if you see it from the trade angle and the fact that it's a long weekend, the actors don't seem that pressured by it. However, they are being quite rigorous with their promotions.
Funny that not just at the box office but Mr Roshan and Mr Kumar seem to be clashing at airport as well! What we mean by clash is how they both have chosen two extremities of styles and yet rocked the shiz outta it! The Mohenjo Daro actor has opted for a nice formal avatar and he looks quite dapper as he returns from Hyderabad after promoting his film there. The Rustom actor, on the other hand has kept it simple by sporting a nice casual checkered shirt and boots! Not that we're picking sides of any sort but the boots add such a monsoon touch to his outfit that we totally dig it!
Somehow their ensembles are also as different as their film genres. Too much coincidence there, I'll say! However, it is time for you to tell us who according to you looked hotter or cooler. Hrithik's dapper look put you in a tizzy or Akshay's monsoon boots made you swoon? Tell us your thoughts in the comments section below. And stay tuned to this space for more gossips and latest updates coming straight from tinsel town!

Line on nail
Hi sir iam having a pale black line on my index finger nail since more than 6 years without any change is it serious??
Answers (1)
Like the answers? Chat privately for 24 hours with the doctor of your choice
Greetings! thanks for the query. Pigmentation of nail plate is common in Asian people. It is called "Longitudinal Melanonychia". This is completely benign and there is no suspicion of cancer based on your description and the photo. The incidence of skin cancer is rare in this part of globe but if you see the pigmentation progressing further and crossing the nail fold please see a Dermatologist for assessment.

Punk-Ass Goat Of The Day

Yikes! What a menace! You'd think someone could find a rope and the people could work together to get him lassoed and tied to a tree, at least. Where's Heidi's friend Peter when you need him? :-DReplyDelete
I do love me some cabrito. Delicioso.ReplyDelete
I love this goat. He knows an asshole when he sees one. :)ReplyDelete
What a total jerk. Where are this goat's parents?ReplyDelete
My favorite part of this video is 1:02 to 1:07 when the smaller goat comes up behind and is all, "I got your back, Bill. You want me step in? Oh, you've got him. Cool. I'm right here, man."

text: I don't usually fill up this part of my profile, on any website. Except on Newgrounds, where I pretty much did something like this(The temptation after seeing "Blurb About You" next to the box in which I was supposed to write about myself): "Blurbing blurbing. Blurb? BLUURB, blurb blurb! Blurb blurb? Blurb blurb, blurb blurb blurb!" That was about a year or two ago. Obviously, my ability to write descriptions of myself has increased. Now, instead of 'blurbing', I am going to type whatever I feel you should know about me. You know, since thats what I'm supposed to do. So anyway, I find that a lot of 'good' quotes seem to pop up in my life. Like for example, this one time I was playing a game of Chess and said I was going to use my King as my primary offensive piece. When I actually did it, the response I got from my friend was: "<Insert vulgar words here> he's really doing it!" Which, if you were there at the time, and had listened to his tone, and had experienced a bunch of other factors I'm too lazy to list, was really funny. Well, to me, at least. Another thing about me is that when I start on something mildly interesting, I don't stop. For instance, this description of myself. I believe it hit the point where it became nonsense at the point where I started talking about how good quotes pop up in my life. Without further wasting your time, I will now get to the 1 paragraph in this entire description that can be considered 'good stuff'. I will try my best to deliver anything even mildly entertaining, as I notice I have this tendency to bore people whenever I show what I write. Probably because I complicate simple things into something, halfway through, you would probably get fed up of reading. Oh, yes, and one last thing. 99/100 of the jokes I make(Online) are going to be bad.

S.Africa's Baroka prepares up to $150 mln for Atlatsa's mine stake - source
By Tiisetso Motsoeneng
JOHANNESBURG May 11 (Reuters) - South Africa's Baroka Platinum will offer up to 1.8 billion rand ($150 million) for Atlatsa Resources' stake in the joint venture Bokoni mine, a source with direct knowledge of the matter said Monday.
Toronto-based Atlatsa owns 51 percent of the mine and the rest is in the hands of Anglo American Platinum, which has already said it plans to sell its stake in the mine that produced 170,000 tonnes of platinum group metals last year.
Baroka Platinum, part of the Baroka Tribal Mining business founded to help the impoverished Ga-Nkwana community, has already offered 3 billion rand for Amplats' stake in the mine, documents seen by Reuters in February showed.
Amplats' stake in the four-shaft mine includes 1.7 billion rand loaned to Atlatsa by the Anglo American unit.
Baroka Platinum aims to take advantage of a sector shake-up as producers sell off underperforming and labour-intensive shafts to improve profitability after last year's record five-month miners' strike.
Atlatsa spokeswoman Prudence Lebina said the company has not received any offer for the stake in the Bokoni mine, which is the firm's only operating asset.
The proposed deal would give Baroka Platinum, which currently relies on royalty payments, its first production asset and allow it to funnel more money from the Bokoni mine to fulfill its stated mandate of building schools, clinics and roads for the Ga-Nkwana community's 90,000 people.
The community is located in the north-eastern part of South Africa in the Limpopo province. Continued...

Petrov has not crossed the pond yet because of his Mother, who is very ill. It's not because he doesn't want to play for the Islanders. I also think that Garth will hold on to KP, if he comes over he has the potential to be a top 6 powerforward on smaller ice. The Isles have plenty of prospects so trading him for a pick doesn't make much sense. Koskinen on the other hand (kind of a pun?) could very well be dealt. He's been good in Finland but streaky and doesn't have a good glove hand. With Poulin and Nilsson platooning in Bridgeport, Mikko will not be missed.

Telephone Number: 610-787-3435
Communication Categorie(s):
1. Advice
Author: CARMEN COLLAZO-CUSTODIO
Telecon Summary:
CBER recommended updating the BLA by deleting or replacing information pertaining to the –b(4)-----------------. Advice was provided on how to submit this information to facilitate review of the submission.
FDA Participants: Jeremy Wally, Kirk Prutzman, Carmen Collazo-Custodio
Non-FDA Participants: Michael Schwartz
Telecon Body:
The following was communicated to GSK via e-mail correspondence:
From: Collazo, Carmen
Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 8:56 AM
To: 'Michael Schwartz'
Cc: Wally, Jeremy; Prutzman, Kirk C; Collazo, Carmen
Subject: RE: ---b(4)------- - withdraw from BLA
Dear Mike,
Thank you for this update. Should you choose to pursue the use of the H5N1 –b(4)------------------ stored in ---b(4)---- as part of the stockpile and, therefore, submit a post-approval supplement for the use of these –b(4)-, we remind you that you will need to provide complete leachables and stability data before use of H5N1 –b(4) stored in the –b(4)--------
Also, we refer you to the telephone conversation of 21-Nov-2012 in which we discussed the approach to revise pertinent sections of the BLA since you decided to remove information pertaining to the use of –b(4)--------------------- from the BLA. During the teleconference, you agreed to update the BLA by deleting or replacing information pertaining to the –b(4)-------------- of the filled vial headspace from the application to accurately reflect what you are seeking for approval.
Using a similar approach, we recommend that you update the BLA by deleting or replacing information pertaining to the –b(4)----------- and provide this information as outlined below to facilitate our review:
- To include a cover letter detailing the changes made to the application and to provide a justification for removing this information from the BLA. In addition, please include in the cover letter your plans to submit a supplement post-approval should you decide to pursue the use of these –b(4) in the future.
- To update the eCTD by revising relevant sections of the BLA so that the application accurately captures what CBER is currently reviewing and, possibly, approving. (The approach suggested during the teleconference of 21-Nov-2012 was to replace or delete relevant sections of the XML file).
- To provide a table detailing the changes made to each of the sections in a particular module as well as to indicate the specific location of the changes (e.g., page number, document name, etc.).
- To provide clean documents and versions with "track changes" of each revised section.

Subject: --b(4)-------- - withdraw from BLA
Dear Carmen,
Due to the CBER comments and concerns with the use of –b(4)------------- for storage of –b(4) we have decided to withdraw their use from the BLA.
- -b(4)---has discontinued the –b(4)-------
- GSK does not plan to use these-b(4)- in the future (since –b(4)-----has discontinued them)
- Only a small amount of ------b(4)----------------) is stored in –b(4)--------- as part of the stockpile
- The small amount in –b(4)---- is approaching b(4) years of age (late 2013), expiry
If GSK chooses to pursue the use of this small volume of –b(4) in the stockpile we will submit for licensure of the –b(4)----------- as a post approval submission.
Kind Regards,

Take car on holiday, take trouble
... ago.
But it's all an experience, doing car repairs en fran�ais. I'm amazed really, that at half past four on a Friday afternoon a) anyone is up for doing any work, and b) they can whip the wheel off, and the tyre, and fix a puncture, all within about 15 minutes.
Late Season Sailing
... was, so we had a gentle sail to St Denis on Ile d'Oleron and arrived mid afternoon. We got the famous Sweber out and David dived under to look at the prop, it was caked in barnacles and calcification. So after 20 plus minutes of David scraping and wire brushing and me pumping air into him through the sweber he surfaced with cuts to hands and arms but a clean prop. The engine revved correctly, a big relief.We decided the next day we would sail ...
A knife display in McDonalds
... leads me to two possibilities – my feet smell really bad or someone has urinated. Yuck.
There's a great big display case by the tills in here, with different Opinel knives contained within. There's an Opinel museum in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne. You can tell that this handy pocket knife is a much-loved icon of the area. ...
Doing a recce
... I could not reach the top on a bike I had borrowed for the afternoon. I was only a couple of miles short but the muscles in my legs had run out of capacity, shall we say. So I've come for a recce before I attempt the same ride this week. ...
Moving on
... the tunnel cost E 28.00 for a motorbike and E 42.00 for a car.
Arriving at Allevard, I was delighted to meet Christian and Suzanne, friends of Liz and owners of the Tour du Treuil. Due to patchy rain at the time,the attached photos where taken on a sunny day last year.After spending the night at the Tower, I left (in the rain again) for Geneva and Lausanne to complete the end of my 4000km ...

The Idea That Ruined My PlanMature
So, I decided to create a piece of work for which I would write love scenes in prose which wouldn't have a plot to distract me from the simple pleasure of writing romantically and what happens? I get a plot idea. -_-
At least it's a very loose plot idea that ties a few couples-in-love together and doesn't really need planning and events other than those of their romantic scene. Imagine if I'd suddenly come up with a werewolf solo! Horror of horrors!
I think I shall call this very loose plot idea 'The Six Characters of Fennington Manor' - it's not really going to be much of a story and it fits in with the whole idea of 'Random Scenes of Romance'. I don't think readers would really expect much of the story if that title did happen to appear in a bookstore.
So, it starts with a Spring Dance at Fennington Manor School... Why am I telling you this? Click the link to the next chapter. As with everything that I write, I hope you enjoy. :)

Herb Greenberg in his "Market Blog" writes a commentary entitled "Gap Gossip" about the possibility of The Gap Inc. selling Old Navy. He writes in part:
"Gap made it clear today that changes are likely at Old Navy and its flagship Gap brands, following disappointing sales results. CEO Paul Pressler made it clear that "with the active involvement of our board" the company is reviewing brand strategies of the two."
I decided to read the recent Proxy Statement filed by The Gap Inc. related to its Board of Directors and wrote the following response to Herb Greenberg on his blog:
I think it's a very good idea to get the entire Gap Board of Directors involved in this crucial decision. Maybe they should bring their spouses to the meeting too.
After all there is a saying "behind every great man there's a great woman." For the female directors, "behind every great woman there's a great man."
They would not violate company policy as read in a Proxy Statement filed on May 9, 2006:
"We occasionally invite director spouses to accompany directors to Board related events, for which we pay or reimburse travel expenses. These travel expenses are reported as compensation to the director and are grossed up to cover taxes. All directors and their immediate families are eligible to receive discounts on our merchandise in accordance with the Gap Inc. corporate employee merchandise discount policy."
Well I guess if they sell off a division they may lose some of their discounts on merchandise. Think that will impact their decision?
Sam E. Antar (Former Crazy Eddie CFO & ex-felon)
My blog question and comment here:
Do you think this Board will retain the right of employee discounts as a golden parachute? Perhaps the right of employee discounts precludes any Board member the ability from rendering independent judgment. Sounds petty? People have done stranger things for less.

Gould Racing
Gould Racing [1] is a British motorsport company, specialising in racing car manufacture and engineering. The company is run by David Gould, and is based in Newbury, Berkshire, England.
Although involved in several branches of motorsport, including manufacturing components for Formula One cars, the company's greatest success has come in the manufacture of specialised cars for hillclimbing: every British Hill Climb Championship from 1998 to 2010 was won by a driver in a Gould car. The company also built the one-off Gould Ford Puma for Mike Endean, featuring Xtrac four-wheel-drive, which won the Brighton Speed Trials four times in 2005, 2008, 2009 and 2010.
British Hillclimb Championship[edit]
Gould Racing has enjoyed massive and sustained success in the British Hillclimb Championship having won 19 titles in total, the first of which was when Chris Cramer took the 1985 at the wheel of a Gould/Hart 84/2 and the remaining 18 titles being taken in from 1998 to 2016, 14 of these being taken in succession, breaking Cooper's record of 13 successive title wins from 1951 to 1963 (though Peter Westbury only raced part of his 1963 championship winning season in a Cooper). Over the last 18 championship winning seasons Gould have gradually evolved their cars, with the GR37, GR51, GR55, GR55B and GR61 chassis all winning the championship on at least 2 occasions.
The Gould GR37 was ground-breaking in terms of hillclimb technology. Built around a Ralt F3 carbon-fibre tub, this car was raced to 3 consecutive titles by David Grace from 1998 to 2000, breaking Pilbeam's domination of the championship that had seen it win 17 of the previous 21 championships. It has typically utilised Cosworth or Judd V8 power ranging from the 3.3-litre Cosworth XB derived V8 to the 4-litre Judd and Cosworth F1 3.5-litre formula derived V8 engines. The Gould GR37 is still competing in the championship as of 2010. It was also the first carbon fibre chassis to win the championship.
The Gould GR51 refined the concept of the GR37. The chassis, whilst based on a Ralt carbon fibre tub, was further customised for its application in hill climbing. The chassis was mated to a DTM-derived Opel-Cosworth V6 engine enlarged to 2.8 litres from the original 2.5 litres and mated to an Arrows F1 gearbox. Whilst down on absolute power compared to the 4-litre V8 monsters of its competitors, the compactness and light weight of the car, engine and gearbox gave the GR51 a greater power-to-weight ratio, which resulted in a car perfectly suited to the tortuously twisty hillclimbs of the British Championship. With Scottish father-and-son duo of Graeme Wight and Graeme Wight Jr. campaigning the car, Wight Jr. sealed two consecutive championships at the wheel of the GR51 in 2001 and 2002. Graeme Wight Jr. competed at the Goodwood Festival Of Speed in this car in 2002 & 2003, the only occasions where a contemporary British Hillclimb Championship car has appeared at this most prestigious of events.
GR55 and GR55B[edit]
The Gould GR55 marked a departure from using Ralt F3 chassis and all major components were designed and manufactured "in house". However, in terms of aerodynamics and general chassis philosophy it was very much an evolution of the GR51. The GR55 was originally fitted with a Nicholson-McLaren 3.3 Litre V8 derived from a Ford Cosworth XB 2.65-litre Champcar unit but enlarged and naturally aspirated rather than turbo-charged. The GR55 was originally campaigned by Adam Fleetwood and he duly took back-to-back titles in 2003 and 2004 before graduating from the British Hillclimb Championship to go circuit racing.
In 2005 Gould introduced the GR55B, externally the GR55 and GR55B are near identical, however the GR55B was the result of extensive finite element analysis work (FEA) which resulted in every part of the car being scrutinised to reduce weight and refine the GR55. The result was a car that was 25 kg lighter than its predecessor now fitted with a 3.5-litre version of the Nicholson-McLaren engine. The GR55B went on to dominate the championship in the hands of Martin Groves, winning the title 3 times in succession (2005, 2006 & 2007) and then he came back to claim a 4th title in 2010 using the same car after being defeated in 2008 & 2009, an achievement unique in hillclimbing.
Both the GR55 and GR55B have become very popular with competitors in the British Championship with a variety of engines being installed in GR55 chassis, including f1 derived Cosworth HB 3.5-litre and Judd 4-litre V8 engines. Also more recent modifications have included F1-style paddle shift sequential gears and traction control.
The Gould GR61X is a further evolution of the Gould line of hillclimb cars. It was produced around the same time as the GR55B as a one-off design produced for father and son duo Roger and Scott Moran. It sees further refinements to the aerodynamics as well as offering enhanced lateral head protection from its higher cockpit sides and padded cockpit surround. It utilises the same 3.5-litre Nicholson-McLaren V8 engine as Martin Groves' GR55B. The car was instantly competitive when it hit the hills in 2005 and ultimately culminated in Scott Moran clinching back-to-back titles in 2008 and 2009 with further titles taken in 2011, 2013, 2014 & 2016 which make Roger and Scott Moran the first father and son title winners in British Hillclimbing as Roger claimed Pilbeam's final British title in 1997. After Roger retired from top-flight hillclimbing at the end of the 2014 season Alex Summers added to the success of this chassis, winning the 2015 title driving the car alongside Scott Moran. The GR61X was the first Gould chassis to be fitted with F1-style paddle shift sequential gears and traction control, which have since been fitted to GR55 chassis (Rob Turnbull and John Bradburn's GR55's were the first to have paddle shift fitted - the Geartronics system) as well as the Pilbeam M97.
- ^ As of June 2007, the title bar on the company website reads "Gould Engineering"; however "Gould Racing" is used elsewhere on the site.

Tales From the CryptMature
After her third Zombie encounter and second Zombie kill of the day Charlie was sick with worry over her mother. She asked Jim if they could stop back at the church for a moment. She was sure if this was the safest place to be right now, her mother would be here with David. After what seemed like a frantic eternity Charlie located David. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"David, thank God your here. How's my mom holding up?" She took a moment to catch her breath. She studied David for a moment. She hadn't seen him in months. Although handsome, with his kind gray eyes, his skin looked paler than normal and his dark hairline was starting to retreat. It was the cancer, she knew, eating away at him. His face fell into a frown. That's when Charlie realized something was wrong. She scanned the crowd again, if David was standing in front of her, her mother had to be close by.
David averted his eyes.
"Where is my mother?" Charlie demanded.
David took a deep breath, which came back out distorted. "There is something that she has been keeping from you, we both have."
David led Charlie to the basement of the church. It was a storage area, littered with chairs. It reaked of moth balls and the absence of air. Charlie shuddered as she remembered lying in the open grave. Her full attention went to David.
David squinted his eyes in thought. "That necklace seems familiar."
Charlie's hands went around the stone on the chain protectively. "Nevemind that right now. Just tell me about my mother!" Charlie shouted.
"You are not going to believe what I'm about to tell you," David began. Maybe yesterday she wouldn't have, today nothing in the world could surprise her.
"Your mother used to be friends with a powerful necromancer."....Okay, maybe that could.
David glanced up at her to make sure she was paying close attention. "Back in high school, we were dating actually. Things got serious. Reinard, that's his name by the way, he grew jealous of our relationship. With his jealousy and anger his power grew. We started noticing strange happenings back then too."
"What kind of strange things?!"
David held up his hand. "Please be patient and let me finish. People were dying, corpses were missing. The more deaths we had, the more frequent the crypt robberies became. Back then we chalked it up to sick grave robbers. We were partially right. What we failed to realize right away was that, these bodies weren't lying in someone's basement somewhere. They actually were being brought to life by something dark and powerful. I told your mother that I suspected Reinard of these crimes, she got mad at me for accusing him of this. We fought over it and our relationship ended. It wasn't until recent years, that she discovered the truth and we became closer, as friends, after the death of your father."
"How...wait what? What do you mean you discovered the truth?" Charlie sputtered,
"Not now I don't have time. I have to get your mother back."
"Where is she?"
"He has her," David said quietly.
Charlie stifled a cry. "How are you going to get her back?"
"There is one weapon on this earth that can defeat the necromancer. I have access to it's location." David pulled out a map. He had circled the coordinates. "It's a dagger from hell."
Charlie blinked back tears and managed to throw him a rhetorical look.
"No, really it is from hell." David assured.
Charlie listened quietly to the rest of David's plan. When he asked her to find a friend to bunk with, she nodded obligingly, as she devised a plan of her own. Knowing David, she knew he would never allow her to risk her life obtaining this weapon, but David was ill with pancreatic cancer. This trip would kill him, and she wouldn't allow that. She would find a way to get that map from him She would adopt his quest as her own.

...time to replace the trusty W/C Imperial 51 Head- recommendations?
Hello Folks,
I would like some opinions on traditional marine heads to replace the old W/C Imperial 51 on my boat.
I don't want to go with a Lavac although I know a lot of you love them.
I like the looks of the Groco model HK but have heard that Grocos can have plumbing problems. ...can't justify the blake heads $$$.
Anyone care to comment on the Groco HK or any other marine heads?
Get a Raritan PHII or PHC. They're excellent and relatively inexpensive. Also, Raritan sells the unit sans bowl as a kit and you may be able to "recycle" the bowl off your existing head. This effectively gives you a new PHC or PHII head for a lot less money. SBO sells the refit "bowl-less" head setup through their website and Sailnet can probably order it as well.

Written and directed by Jeff Baena and featuring an ensemble cast of hilarious comedic talents-including Thomas Middleditch (HBO's "Silicon Valley"), Adam Pally (TV's "Happy Endings"), Alex Ross Perry (director of Queen of Earth), Nick Kroll (TV's "The League"), Brett Gelman (TV's "Married") and Jenny Slate (Obvious Child) -Jeff Baena's sophomore feature is a wickedly amusing portrayal of male bonding and emotional incompetence.

Trump - Stop Muslims from Entering the USA
It is starting to feel like 1989.
Expect a rise in Trump's poll numbers.
The Globalists (the Persians in the scene below) expect us to submit to open borders and the loss of self determination. As a token of this submission they want us to accept invaders.
Jeb Bush and Lindsey Graham would be on their knees before this Persian. Trump is responding as

Actually, the communism empire 'collapsed' because the elites wanted it too. It was an elite-led demise.ReplyDelete
Eastern European elites, even the communist ones, never liked living under the Soviet yoke. So, when the time came, they were happy to move out of the Soviet sphere.
And the reason why the Soviet Communists called it quits was because they got tired of taking care of the people, especially those in non-Russian republics. The communist elites looked at how the elites were living in the West. They wanted it for themselves. But the communist system required Soviet elites to take care of everyone.
So, by ending communism, the former communist elites could become the new oligarchs and become rich as hell and be responsible to no one.
That is a very interesting correlation. A bit fun, but being a self-made man, Trump has fought his share of battles and he is not beholding to the political press or talking heads of any party. Cruz was my guy but I didn't think he could win against Shrillary. After eight years of a White House Wimp, people are drawn to a man who says what they are believing.ReplyDelete
Hail Trump! Put the leftards into FEMA camps and feed them bread and thin gruel. And make sure they serve their time with hardened criminals.ReplyDelete
Now that he is the President of USA, I hope he finds it in his heart to change some of his bad behavior among women and nationality. He needs to focus more on being a good president because if he does this, students who received Christmas writing discount at BestEssayEducation might change their point of view about him.ReplyDelete
