Texas Star Tablecloth
What materials did you use? 100 % cotton remnants. Crochet thread for ties. Flannel blanket for backing. I did not use quilt batting.
What are you most proud of? I really like the color combinations of this quilt. I didn't want to put yellow for the center of the star because it reminded me of a flower, so I used red which is one of my son's favorite colors.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? The quarter inch rule in this quilt is very important to achieve the points of the star and the points at the intersections. This quilt is hand made. I did not use the sewing machine on any of the stars. I wanted to manipulate the points. It was a good project to do while sitting and watching television. I enjoyed making this quilt.

Samui, Pijush and Kumar, Bimlesh (2006) Artificial Neural Network Prediction of Stability Numbers for Two-layered Slopes with Associated Flow Rule. [Preprint] (Unpublished)
Artificial_Neural_Network.pdf Download (237Kb) |
The design of earthen embankments is quite often carried out with the use of stability number charts as originally introduced by Taylor. However, such charts are not easily available for the layered soil slopes with the inclusion of pore water pressure and seismic forces. In this paper, a neural network modeling using back propagation technique was done to predict the stability numbers for two layered soil slopes. The effect of the pore water pressure and horizontal earthquake body forces was also incorporated in this modeling. Comparisons were made by through literature results. A thorough sensitive analysis has been made to ascertain which parameters are having maximum influence on stability numbers.

Thailand is not a cheap place to retired if one is scammed by their peoples.
It definitely cost a lot more then what you would had spend your money in your home country if one is not mindful. Foreigner's always the loser in whatever deal or contract and nobody in Thailand will help foreigner's. It is best to have enough information before deciding to retired in Thailand. |

in comparison-for intelligent ex-pats that is- Thailand offers more in a single hour than Nicaragua could offer in a lifetime. As a past resident of both nations, living and working exclusively with the local people of both of these countries, I can only say that the difference is, as always, the culture. This is my point. One simply cannot compare the two as they are distinctly different based upon the values that each RELIGION and COMMUNITY invest in it's citizens. Being one that does not invest much import to organized religion of any flavor i must then learn to live with those who do. While i do not profess to be buddhist i find that even through it's own hipocracy there lies a code of conduct... even amongst the rotten thieves to be found in asia as elsewhere.
The difference .to me anyway, is that Nicaragua is steeped in the Christian/Catholic dogme to the point of failure. It's interesting to me thatregardless of country that i am in the "GOD" nations seem to be simply the least without genuine value for others or life in general.. the U.S. being the utmost example. That said, Nicaragua continues to value NOTHING above $ and material possessions. Many will attack me for saying this but stealing for a cheap cell phone is the same as stealing a fortune 500 company, Thais included. However, killing for thrill and stealing for is different. Having been mugged in these two countries several times i must say there is an inherent difference. The difference is values. I never felt really at harm in Asia even in the rough times whereas in Nicaragua the animosity was too intense. If you choose to be a Gringo or Farang... choose well. I'll take a buddhist piece of shit over the average Nica any old day... from MY experience. If you move to another country with a different culture be careful. My advice-i know it wasn't asked for!- is choose one with a culture harmoniuos with yours. One that believes in life after death may prove to be a smart move. If i can simply walk into a building and get forgiveness for my misdeeds and repeat them tomorrow.. why not do as i want? If you forget the dead and can live in secrecy to do anything you wish as long as you're not caught, what do you think people will do? If you live amongst the ghosts of your ancestors each and every day and are accountable for your life choices you just might think more clearly and do the right thing. Thailand or Nicaragua? A thousand times over.. Thailand. Even if it pisses me off sometimes! And it's not so completely boring in terms of music and art! |

oh yeah, for all the coke freaks out there... forget Thailand. You'll LOVE Nicaragua!!!

i lived in Thailand for some time, a few miles upriver from Chiang Mai.Despite my predilection for the scuzziest roadside bars and non farang areas,I have never had even a hint of trouble there. I found that if one is considered to have jai dee (a good heart), respect Thai culture and try ones best to speak a bit of Thai you're at worst considered a curiosity, and more usually treated with a generosity and kindness unheard of in Western cities. Crocman! I guess you could say Thai people are xenophobic - they would say they're just proud of their homeland, sure there's some crime and they respect their Head of State.Big deal. Nothing like yanks eh? crocfool.

Crocman is an idiot. His anti-Thai drivel is posted throughout these forums. We've seen this before from worthless lizards like him. Pay no attention to this twit, Thailand is a great place to live. Croc-of-shit-man just got burned because he chose to live in a red light district like the other cheap charlie scum who hang out in Pattaya/Patong... and thought he was a king.

adopted GSD snapping
Hello all! We adopted a 3.5 year old GSD mix from a shelter just over a week ago. Hed been adopted twice but brought back for not getting along well with cats or small children. Since we have had him hes been a dream. Weve had him at the dog park, which they said he would never be able to do and he did well! One time he became overwhelmed when the park quickly went from emtpy to crowded and so we left.
Anyway, last night we had company over for the super bowl. Hes never been in the house with anyone other than his 2 owners and had two incidents of snapping. In one, someone hugged him from behind and held him tight and Jackson (the dog) attemtped to bite his neck. In the other he tried to bite a lady that touched his paws. We were told he is sensitive about his paws but has been great with us. After both offenses we put him in a room alone to relax for a couple minutes and then brought him back out. Is there anything we can do to avoid this behavior in the future? Im sure he was overstimulated and overwhelmed, but at the same time i dont want to make excuses and justify his behavior. Any help or advice is appreciated! Gaby Last edited by gvalenti; 02-03-2014 at 02:03 PM. |

Honestly.. you may just have to manage that behavior. Not saying it's not fixable but realize that coming from a rescue and 2 homes will have taken it's toll.
I would suggest at the moment not bringing him out when there are people around. He is ok to just be in another room relaxing and chewing on a bone. I would also DEFNIITELY get him to a trainer and have him evaluated. They would be able to help you figure out the ebst course of action.

I think a combination of time and management will help. You haven't had him very long so I would not allow anyone (other than a vet) to be hugging him or grabbing his paws. Instead, have visitors drop treats and allow him (the dog) to initiate physical interactions. I also adopted a dog at 3.5 years of age who would not accept that sort of restraint from people she didn't know (she would air snap). If people would not listen to my rules for interacting with my dog, then I would keep her in a crate or another room away from visitors, for her own comfort. Some dogs are just not going to be cool with people they don't know grabbing them in that way, especially when they are new to you and your house as well.

He clearly sounds overwhelmed with the changes in his life and you need to protect him too. Get a crate or two and, if you have company around, put him in his crate. He can then be with people without being overwhelmed. If he does not do well in a crate, either use a baby gate to place him in a different room (where he can still see people) or place him in another room by himself while the company is there.
He needs time to adjust and to settle in before you expect him to be good with unpredictable people.

I'd advise you to pay attention to situations where the food is around. He musn't be present at parties, picnics or any other situation where many people gether in order to eat together. All your relatives and friends are strangers for him, he smells food and it is natural for dogs to be self-protective over food issues even if they really stuffed themselves before the guests arrived. Hugging and paw touching were read by him as attempts to shoo him away from the table. You, feeding your guests ( he knew that the food they ate appeared before they started to arrive, he smelled it from your hands) and giving them your attention provoked his jealosy. That, I guess, was the issue with children in the past.
So, I read it as a wish to be upgraded with the position in the pack because he is an adult dog. Some small "puppies" and some casual adults cannot possibly be that important for his owner as him - that was the thought which upset his apple cart. He, probably, would never have snapped at anyone if wasn't irritated by your guests. Please, don't forget that it was him who was upset first. He is upset, you are upset - I wouldn't bother training him something he might turn is unable to be trained in if I were you. Just lock him away every time you have a party. |

I agree with Lies. I don't see this having anything to do with food, but more the dog being in a new situation, overwhelmed and giving off warnings that he doesn't want to be hugged or have his paws messed with by a stranger..

You put your dog in a bad situation. You have had him for less than 2 weeks. Everything is already new to him. He doesn't know you and you don't know him. He doesn't need to go to dog parks right now and he definitely doesn't need to be exposed to a lot of new people. It is very stressful for him. If it was my dog, I would do the two week shut down. Some people would disagree. IMO, it does no harm and could reduce the risk of potential problems. Here is the link http://www.bigdogsbighearts.com/2_week_shutdown0001.pdf It explains the why and the how.
Give the dog a chance to acclimate to his new environment. Take it slow and do not allow him to become overwhelmed.

Don't let guests overwhelm your dog and please stop putting him in situations that set him up for failure, like the dog park. He deserves a stable home where you prevent stressful situations and put his emotional needs above your own desires to have a socially outgoing dog. You need to make it easy for him to be a good dog. He doesn't know you from Adam and doesn't trust you yet.
I would focus on having him bond with your family and sign up for positive reinforcement-oriented obedience classes. He doesn't understand who all these new people are. In the future you may be able to desensitize him to touch but I would start with giving him time to adjust. Sent from Petguide.com Free App |

I also agree with Lies!! But I would really like to add that I am super impressed with your new pup! That was a whole lot going on for him at your party. He still hasn't really settled into his new life. He is still going to be a bit nervy about everything. What he did to your guests was to warn them that he didn't like what they were doing to him. He could have very easily caused significant damage to any of your guests, but he chose to warn instead.
Don't misunderstand, his behavior should not be allowed. But at this point in his life he created his own boundries and didn't actually harm anybody. Whereas he may not have the best foundation for you to begin to build on, he certainly has something special to work with!

Timeline of the Friday the 13th series
this wiki
The following is a possible timeline for the Friday the 13th series. No timeline for the series will ever be perfect, as there are many contradictions present in the films and the spin-off media. References are made to calendar dates when relevant, although as the original Friday the 13th is set on Friday, June 13, 1979 (June 13, 1979 was a Wednesday), the passage of time is lent more weight than specific calendar dates.
The following films in the series definitely take place on a Friday the 13th: Friday the 13th, Jason Lives, The New Blood, and the 2009 film. Part III is also confirmed by supplementary materials to occur on a Friday the 13th.
The events of the 2009 "reboot" are included here with a disclaimer, as the film was purposefully allowed to dovetail with established series mythology rather than re-inventing it, and several items from the series' past (such as Ralph's bicycle and Mark's wheelchair) are seen in Jason's network of tunnels. Further installments may remove the ambiguity.
Unknown date: The future Pamela Sue Voorhees is born. (Tombstone in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.)
Unknown date: The Christy family establishes Camp Crystal Lake. (Sign in Friday the 13th.)
Thursday June 13: Jason Voorhees is born to Pamela and Elias Voorhees. (Friday the 13th and Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday.)
Sometime later, Elias abandons his wife and son.
Pamela raises her son apart from other children in the Voorhees House.
Summer: Pamela receives the job of cook at Camp Crystal Lake. While there, Eleven-year-old Jason is bullied by the other campers. Trying to escape his tormentors, Jason falls into Crystal Lake. No body is found, and it is assumed that Jason had drowned. (As shown in Friday the 13th, Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan and Freddy vs. Jason.)
Summer: Pamela, driven mad with grief over her son's presumed death, kills two counselors at Camp Crystal Lake. The killer is not apprehended and the camp is soon shut down. (Friday the 13th.
Several attempts are made to reopen Camp Crystal Lake in the years that follow, but are soon halted by mysterious fires. (Enos in Friday the 13th.)
Alice Hardy is born somewhere in California to Mr. Hardy and Mrs. Hardy. (Newspaper clipping in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.)
Diana Voorhees is born to Elias Voorhees and a woman who is not Pamela. (In the script for Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, Diana is stated to be in her early forties.)
An attempt to reopen Camp Crystal Lake is halted by a case of bad water. The camp comes to be regarded by locals as having a "death curse" and is nicknamed "Camp Blood". (Various townspeople in Friday the 13th.)
Chris Higgins is born. (Chris is stated to be nineteen in the script for Friday the 13th Part III.)
Tommy Jarvis is born. (Friday the 13th: A New Beginning.)
Steve Christy, determined to reopen Camp Crystal Lake, begins to spend $25 000.00 to renovate the abandoned camp. (Friday the 13th.)
Friday June 13: Pamela Voorhees goes on a killing spree at Camp Crystal Lake, trying to stop the camp from being reopened. She kills Steve Christy and six of his newly hired counselors. Finally, the mad woman is decapitated with a machete by the only surviving counselor Alice Hardy. Jason Voorhees, having either returned from the dead or never actually drowned, witnesses his mother's death and takes her head and several articles of her clothing, as well as the machete that killed her.
Possibly not in the original continuity: After Pamela's death, Jason also retrieves her locket, containing a picture of himself and his mother.
Saturday June 14: Alice is found in a canoe floating on the lake, claiming that she was attacked by Thirty Two-year-old Jason Voorhees.
Sometime after Pamela's killing spree, Camp Crystal Lake is condemned and fenced off and forbidden by law for anyone to enter.
August: Alice is released from the sanitarium. Against her parents' wishes, Alice returns to the town of Crystal Lake to conquer her fears surrounding the events that transpired two months previously. One night, Jason Voorhees enters the apartment where she is staying and murders her. He takes her body to his shack in the woods near Camp Crystal Lake.
Jessica Kimble is born to Diana and Mr. Kimble. (In the script for Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, Jessica is stated to be in her early twenties.)
Summer: While staying at her family's summer home Higgins Haven, seventeen-year-old Chris Higgins gets in a fight with her parents and runs into the woods. There, she is attacked by Jason Voorhees. Chris passes out and awakens back at home. Her parents refuse to speak of the incident. (Friday the 13th Part III.)
Tuesday July 10: Paul Holt's counselor training program at Packanack Lodge is opened. Jason Voorhees (wearing a burlap sack to cover his face) kills local doomsayer Ralph.
Wednesday July 11: Enraged that the Crystal Lake area is being intruded upon, Jason kills six of the counselors in training, as well as a local police officer, and possibly the dog of one of the counselors. Eventually, Jason is faced by Ginny Field and Paul Holt. Ginny discovers Jason's Shack and manages to slice his left shoulder open with the same machete that killed Pamela Voorhees. Ginny passes out and hallucinates that Jason attacks her once more.
Thursday July 12: The police arrive at Packanack Lodge. Ginny is rescued, but Paul's fate remains unknown.
Thursday July 12: Jason revives following Ginny's machete wound and flees from his shack. That night, he get a new set of clothes from the laundry line of Harold Hockett, and then proceeds to murder Harold and his wife. Jason spends the night at Higgins Haven.
Presumably around this time, Rob Dier learns of his sister Sandra's death at the hands of Jason and vows to avenge her.
Friday July 13: Nineteen-year-old Chris Higgins and five of her friends go on a weekend trip to Higgins Haven, picking up Shelly Finkelstein's blind date Vera Sanchez on the way. Upon their arrival, Jason kills the vacationers one by one, as well as Chris' boyfriend Rick and the three members of a motorcycle gang. During the massacre, Jason obtains a hockey mask from Shelly, which he uses to replace the sack as a mask. After a lengthy confrontation with Chris, who recognizes Jason as the person who terrorized her in the woods two years previously, the girl axes the madman in the face, seemingly killing him. (It is likely that Part III took place on a Friday the 13th because Chris and Andy refer to spending a weekend in the country. The script confirms that the murders at Higgins Haven take place on Friday the 13th.)
Saturday July 14: The police find Chris in an unbalanced state, hysterically talking of a "lady in the lake", Pamela Voorhees, having attacked her.
Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter
Saturday July 14: The bodies of Jason and the ten victims at Higgins Haven are transported to Wessex County Morgue. There, Jason revives and kills a coroner and a nurse and hides their bodies before making his escape.
Sunday July 15: A group of six vacationing teenagers arrive at the cottage next door to that of the Jarvis family, where Mrs. Jarvis and her children Trish and twelve-year-old Tommy are currently residing. Jason kills a stranded hitchhiker on his way back to Crystal Lake.
Monday July 16: Rob Dier arrives at Crystal Lake, determined to hunt down Jason. The murderer kills the vacationing teenagers as well as Mrs. Jarvis, Rob and a set of teenaged twins. Trish and Tommy fight for their lives until Tommy impales Jason's head on his own machete. Seeing that Jason is still demonstrating signs of life, Tommy stabs the killer over and over again, screaming "Die!" endlessly.
Jason Voorhees, finally dead, is buried in the Eternal Peace Cemetery, although officials of nearby towns are led to believe that his body was cremated. Jason's burial may have been paid for by his father Elias Voorhees.
Tommy, heavily traumatized by his experience, spends the next six years being transferred from one mental institution to the next.
1984 - 1991Edit
Wanting to distance itself from the Voorhees murders, officials change the name of the town and lake from Crystal Lake to Forest Green.
Friday October 13: While staying with her parents at Crystal Lake, thirteen-year-old Tina Shepard accidentally collapses the dock her father John is standing on with her telekinetic powers, drowning him. Severely affected by this event, Tina spends the next four years at a mental hospital. (A calendar on the wall of the Shepard cabin confirms the date.)
Summer: While staying at Crystal Lake for the third year in a row, ten-year-old Rennie Wickham is pushed into the lake by her uncle, Charles McCulloch who tells her to swim or "Jason will get you". Desperately trying to swim, Rennie has a vision of being grabbed by an eleven-year-old Jason Voorhees. (As shown in Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan.)
Friday the 13th: A New Beginning
In June 1990, the seventeen-year-old Tommy Jarvis, no longer a legal ward of the state, is sent from the Unger Mental Institute to Pinehurst Halfway House. That day, Victor J. Faden axes fellow patient Joey to death. Paramedic Roy Burns, Joey's father, is horrified at the sight of Joey's body and swears revenge on the residents of the halfway house. That night, Roy disguises himself as Jason Voorhees and kills two greasers.
The following night, Roy kills an ambulance driver and his girlfriend.
On the third day of Tommy's stay, Roy goes on a full-out killing spree against the residents of Pinehurst Halfway House and the surrounding locals. His victims include the head doctor, the cook, five of Pinehurst's teenage patients, neighbors Ethel and Junior Hubbard, a drifter, the cook's elder grandson and his girlfriend and his own partner. Roy's rampage is finally halted by Pam Roberts, Reggie and Tommy. Roy is impaled on a set of tractor harrows in the halfway house barn. Even further unsettled, Tommy attacks Pam, but is subdued. The mockumentary The Crystal Lake Massacres Revisited, included on the Special Edition Blu-Ray Discs, provides the exposition of Tommy being transferred to Pinehurst due to turning eighteen and therefore no longer being a ward of the state.
Summer: Twelve-year-old Rennie Wickham visits Crystal Lake for the first time. (In Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, Charles McCulloch refers to Rennie having visited Crystal Lake three years in a row.)
Rennie Wickham's parents die in a car accident. Charles McCulloch becomes her legal guardian. (Referenced in Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan.)
Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives
Thursday June: Seventeen-year-old Tommy Jarvis, now almost stable, and his friend Allen Hawes go to the Eternal Peace Cemetery to dig up and destroy Jason Voorhees' body. Upon seeing Jason's body Tommy has a flashback and repeatedly stabs Jason's corpse. However, things go awry when a lightning bolt strikes the fence post and reanimates Jason, increasing his strength and essentially making him immortal. Jason kills Hawes and, wearing a new hockey makes constructed by Tommy, sets out for Camp Crystal Lake, now reopened as Camp Forest Green. Tommy makes it to the police station and is locked up by Sheriff Michael Garris who deems the boy crazy. En route to the camp, Jason kills the head counselors.
Friday June 13: Jason goes on a killing spree at Camp Forest Green, claiming the lives of five executives playing a paintball game, the cemetery caretaker, a young couple three of the remaining camp counselors, a teenage girl, Sheriff Garris and two of his police officers. Tommy and Megan Garris eventually manage to chain Jason to a large rock at the bottom of Lake Forest Green. (The script says that Tommy is in his late teens. Also, a calendar in the police station has 30 days on it.)
Sometime after the murders, officials decide to change the area name back to Crystal Lake. "Camp Crystal Lake" signs are restored to the abandoned camp. (In Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood, signs bearing the name "Crystal Lake" are seen in the area.)
Stephanie Kimble is born to Jessica Kimble and Steven Freeman.
January 18: Bobby Davis is killed by dream killer Freddy Krueger. His brother Mark Davis is locked up in Westin Hills Psychiatric Institute (Referenced in Freddy vs. Jason.)
January - June: Mrs. Campbell is killed by Freddy. Will Rollins is blamed for her death and sent to Westin Hills. (Referenced in Freddy vs. Jason.)
Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood
Thursday September 12th:Tina Shepard, now Sixteen, returns to Crystal Lake with her mother Amanda and her therapist, Doctor Crews. Tina becomes acquainted with the teenagers staying at the house next door, preparing a surprise birthday party for Michael, one of their friends. That night, Tina tries to resurrect her father John with her powers but instead frees the dormant Jason Voorhees. Tina passes out and is spared by Jason, but he does kill Michael, his girlfriend and a camping couple.
Friday July 13: Jason kills nine of the teenagers staying at the party cottage as well as Amanda and Doctor Crews. A distraught Tina uses her telekinesis to fight Jason, destroying the two houses while doing so. Finally, Tina reanimates her father's corpse to chain Jason back up at the bottom of the lake and collapses the dock on top of him.
Saturday July 14: The police rescue Tina and Nick, Michael's cousin. Jason's hockey mask from 1990 is found, having been broken in half during his fight with Tina. (Director John Carl Buechler has stated multiple times that Jason spent ten years underwater before Tina resurrected him.)
Shortly after, Freddy is banished to Hell begins searching for "the most evil soul" with whose help he can continue his reign of terror. (Referenced in Freddy vs. Jason.)
Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan
Early June: The night before the senior class of Lakeview High School is scheduled to depart for New York City, two of the students, Jim Miller and Suzi Donaldson arrive at Crystal Lake. The anchor of their boat catches on an underwater power line and electrifies Jason Voorhees back to life. He kills the two students and sails the boat to the harbor.
The next day, Jason reaches the cruise ship S. S. Lazarus just before it departs for New York. One of the passengers, nineteen-year-old Rennie Wickham, is plagued by visions of a child Jason. The undead madman kills six of the students and three of the crew. Another student is killed as well. Rennie, her classmates Sean Robertson and Julius Gaw, her teacher Colleen van Deusen, her uncle Charles McCulloch, and her dog Toby manage to flee the ship on the lifeboat, but the rest of the students drown as the ship sinks. Jason swims after the survivors in secret.
The next night, Rennie and company end up in New York. Jason pursues them and kills Julius, McCulloch and four New York residents. Colleen is also killed in a car accident. Rennie and Sean are chased into the sewers and barely escape while Jason is washed away by a flood of toxic waste (although Rennie hallucinates that he changes into a normal child). As a new day dawns, Rennie, Sean and Toby go to see the Statue of Liberty.
After the Manhattan murders, the FBI realizes Jason Voorhees' threat and begins to track him down. They eventually locate him back at Crystal Lake 8 years later.
Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday
FBI Agent Elizabeth Marcus lures Jason Voorhees to a trap in which he is shot repeatedly and blown to pieces.
One week later, bounty hunter Creighton Duke makes an appearance on American Casefile concerning the death of Jason Voorhees. Upon transferring to the Youngstown County Morgue, Jason's spirit possesses Phil and makes him eat his heart. Phil/Jason kills the assistant coroner and two FBI agents before leaving for Crystal Lake in search for a Voorhees family member through whom he can be reborn by transferring his heart.
Over the course of thefollowing week, Phil/Jason makes his way back to Crystal Lake, killing five civilians on the way.
Seven days after his escape from the morgue, Phil/Jason kills three young adults fooling around at Camp Crystal Lake. He then kidnaps and possesses Josh after killing his girlfriend. Josh/Jason goes to the apartment of his half-sister Diana Voorhees Kimble and kills her, but is prevented from possessing her body and being reborn by Steven Freeman.
The following day, Jason transfers his soul from Josh to news reporter Robert Campbell. Robert/Jason goes after Jessica Kimble and her infant daughter Stephanie, still trying to be reborn. Along the way, Robert/Jason kills three police officers, the family owning the local diner, and a waitress. A diner patron was also killed. Jason's soul is then transferred to Randy Parker who gets his throat cut open by Steven. Jason's heart crawls into Diana's dead body and he is finally reborn. After killing Creighton Duke, Jason is stabbed in the heart with a mystical dagger by Jessica and sent to Hell.
Freddy vs. JasonEdit
Autumn: Freddy Krueger resurrects Jason Voorhees and sends him to Springwood to kill some of the town's teenagers and generate enough fear to allow Freddy to return. (The novelization of Freddy vs. Jason states that Jason was in Hell for about a week.)
The night Jason arrives in Springwood, a Sunday in September, he kills two boys and one of their fathers. Freddy now has enough power to return, due to the fear caused by the three deaths. Meanwhile, Will and Mark have escaped from Westin Hills.
On Monday, Will's girlfriend Lori Campbell and her friends begin to understand what is going on, and their new found knowledge of Krueger makes them vulnerable. At a rave that night, Freddy enters the dreams of Lori's friend Gibb, but is enraged when Jason "steals" his victim, killing Gibb and another raver in the real world before Freddy can kill her in her dream. Jason then goes on a rampage, killing at least eight ravers (including two jocks). The survivors of the rave include Lori, Will, Kia Waterson, Charlie Linderman and Bill Freeburg. Later, Freddy kills Mark when he falls asleep at his old house.
On Tuesday, the rave's survivors and Scott Stubbs decide to go to Westin Hills and get some Hipnocil dream suppressant to be safe from Freddy. Jason follows them there and kills Stubbs, Freeburg and a security guard before Freddy brings him into the dream world,where he figures out he's been fooled. Lori, Will, Kia and Linderman begin to transport Jason's comatose body to Crystal Lake, as Freddy discovers Jason's deep-seated fear of water (which is not usually present in the real world). Lori falls asleep and enters Jason's dream, which involves his childhood drowning. Lori manages to wake Jason up and drag Freddy into the real world. After killing Linderman and Kia, Jason turns his attentions to Freddy and an epic battle begins. The fight concludes with Jason's battered body falling into Crystal Lake and Lori decapitating Freddy with Jason's machete.
The next morning, Wednesday, Jason emerges from the lake, clutching Freddy's still animate head.
The following sequence of events is perhaps not in the main continuity of the original eleven Friday the 13th films.
May 2: A group of young adults--Whitney Miller, Mike, Wade, Amanda, and Richie--enter the Crystal Lake region looking for a marijuana site in the woods. Jason , wearing a cloth bag over his head, attacks the intruders and kills all of them except Whitney, whom he drags into his underground tunnels running beneath the campgrounds and Voorhees house. Shortly afterwards, Whitney's mother dies and her brother Clay begins to look for her.
Friday June 13: Clay Miller arrives in Crystal Lake looking for Whitney. Meanwhile, another group of teens--Jenna, Trent Sutton, Chewie, Lawrence, Chelsea, Nolan, and Bree--arrive at Trent's family cabin on the lake shore. Jason kills a local and dons the latter's hockey mask. He then murders most of the partying teens and a police officer as Clay and Jenna hunt for Whitney. Whitney is rescued, and Jenna is also killed as the Miller siblings flee from Jason. Whitney succeeds in stabbing Jason in the chest with his machete.
Saturday June 14: Jason rises from the lake to attack Whitney.Friday the 13th (2009)
Possible alternate timeline events end here.
Jason Voorhees is captured by the Camp Crystal Lake Research Facility and convicted of at least two hundred murders. When all attempts to execute him fail, he is left sedated, placed under heavy guard and left shackled in the facility while researchers try to think of what to do with him. (Referenced in Jason X.)
Unknown date: It is decided that Jason Voorhees should be cryogenically frozen and moved to another facility for further examination. Due to a guard throwing a blanket over him, Jason's IV is knocked loose, allowing him to escape and kill Doctor Wimmer (who had decided to supersede freezing Jason and transport him "soft") and the quintet of soldiers meant to move him. While chasing head researcher Rowan LaFontaine through the facility, Jason is knocked into the cryogenic chamber by the scientist, who is also frozen when Jason punctures the unit's door and stabs her, causing the facility to lock down.
The sport of hockey is outlawed. (Referenced in Jason X.)
Unknown date: A class from Earth II, headed by Braithwaite Lowe, go on a field trip to the original Earth, which had become uninhabitable centuries prior. Discovering the remains of the Camp Crystal Lake Research Facility, the students find Jason Voorhees and Rowan LaFontaine and bring them aboard their ship The Grendal, where Rowan is revived, while Jason awakens on his own. Killing several students, crewmembers and hired security, Jason is briefly killed by android Kay-Em 14, but is resurrected by The Grendel's malfunctioning nano ants, which also give a metallic exoskeleton and upgraded abilities. As The Grendel begins falling apart (due to accidentally crashing into the Solaris space station) Rowan, Tsunaron and Kay-Em reach a rescue vessel, the Tiamat, while Sergeant Brodski stays behind, sacrificing himself to stop Jason from attacking the Tiamat. A power armor-wearing Brodski tackles Jason outside the Tiamat, sending the two of them hurtling through Earth II's atmosphere. Jason's charred mask lands in a lake.

I loves me some soup and I loves me some beans. In fact I loves me some beans so much I have many, many beans and lentils in my pantry. I have canned beans but my favorites are my dried beans stored in canning jars and labeled with my label maker. (Someday I'll take pictures and show you--but that will require me straightening the rest of my pantry first). Beans are economical, good for you, fill you up and they taste good too. For this week's soup celebrating a full year of Souper (Soup, Salad & Sammie) Sundays, I wanted to make a simple mixed bean soup using an assortment from my pantry--something basic, where the beans and some of my dried lentils are the star players. So here is my Pantry "Soup of Many Beans & Things". It's flexible, adaptable to what you have on hand, and absolutely delicious. Pantry "Soup of Many Beans & Things" by Deb, Kahakai Kitchen (Makes about 12 cups of soup) about 2 cups mixed dried beans* about 3/4 cup mixed "things" (lentils and peas)* 1 Tbsp olive oil 1 large yellow onion, chopped 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced 2-3 smoked ham hocks or shanks 2 quarts good chicken or veggie stock 2 bay leaves 1 Tbsp dried parsley flakes 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped 3 stalks of celery, chopped 1 (28-ounce) can whole, peeled tomatoes, drained and chopped sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste Rinse bean mix and soak overnight, rinsing again and discarding water before cooking. Rinse lentil mix and set aside. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large soup pot or Dutch oven and add onions. Cook until softened and slightly opaque, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute another minute or two. Add ham hocks, stock, bay leaves and parsley and bring to a boil. Lower heat, and simmer covered, about 30 minutes. Add beans and lentils, bring soup back to a boil, lower heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Add carrots and celery, bring soup back to a boil, then lower temperature, cover and simmer again for 30 minutes. Remove ham hocks and set aside to cool. Chop tomatoes into large pieces and add to simmering soup. Remove meat from bones, chop into small pieces and add to soup. Heat through, taste and season with salt and black pepper. Serve and enjoy! *My beans & "things" mix included equal amounts of Pinto Beans, Kidney Beans, Navy Beans, Baby Limas, Cranberry/Borlotti Beans, Chick Peas, Black-eyed Peas, Green Split Peas, Yellow Split Peas, Green Lentils, Red Lentils and Black Lentils. Notes/Results: Hearty and delicious--exactly what I wanted. The homemade chicken stock and ham hocks made a rich and flavorful broth, that didn't need a lot of other spices, just some bay leaves and parsley. (However if you want to make a vegetarian version, use a good vegetable stock and some dried rosemary, thyme or other dried herbs to jazz it up a bit). I love mixed bean soups because of the variety of textures you get in each bite. You can mix it up with whatever beans you have on hand or if you need a quick version, used canned beans. Of course dried beans are cheaper and you don't have to worry about extra sodium, and canned beans can't quite compete with the flavor and creamy texture of well-cooked dried beans; so if you have the time--use the dried! A great soup that I will make variations of again and again. The Top I started Souper Sundays in order to work my way through all the soup recipes I was tabbing in books and cutting out of magazines and I started inviting others to submit their soups too. About 6 months ago, we added salads and sandwiches for those not craving soups in the warmer months. In honor of a year of delicious recipes, I decided to pick my "Top 10" favorite soups that I have made since Souper Sundays started. Although I have prepared many wonderful soup recipes over the past 12 months, I chose the soups that I loved the most, wanted more of, or really thought about and craved afterward. Of course I ended up with 11 and just couldn't decide on one to cut, so it is now a "Top Eleven" list. (It is not numbered, as it is too hard to decide the order of favorites, so these are in no particular order).
So these are this year's top soups that I made. Of course we have had many incredible soups and salads and sandwiches too that all the friends of Souper Sundays made and submitted over the past 12 months, but I couldn't narrow down favorites from all the wonderful recipes that came in. I am looking forward to another year full of delicious bowls of soupy goodness, and terrific sandwiches and salads too. Now let's see who joins us in the kitchen this week: First up, Souper Sundays would not be the same without my friend Natashya from Living in the Kitchen with Puppies, who has joined me every week since I announced I was starting it. Over the year she has shared a ton of soups and lots of salads and sammies too. Mahalo Natashya for your loyalty and friendship! Natashya has a homey Turkey Vegetable Dill Pie with Chive Biscuit Crust this week. She says, "A delicious turkey stew, very traditional in flavours, topped with a biscuit crust that is crisp on the top and almost dumpling-like where it meets the stew. I found the amount of biscuits almost too much in relation to the stew, but hubby quite liked it. A great way to use up Thanksgiving leftovers." A turn in the weather has Debby from A Feast for the Eyes busy making lots of soups and stews and she has two hearty dishes to share this week. From her family Oktoberfest, she made an Austrian Goulash. Debby says, "This is a dish that I have never seen in a German restaurant in the United States. It's a dish that is very common in Southern Germany and Austria. Think of this as a beef stew, with a rich tomato sauce that is seasoned with paprika and some caraway seeds." She also made a Classic Beef Stew, saying, "This afternoon, I decided to use some extra stew-cut beef chuck to make my fool-proof beef stew. I know, I know-- beef stew recipes are everywhere. Seriously, this is one of the best recipes I've ever eaten. It also comes together pretty fast. I've been known to make this in a pressure cooker, in less than 30 minutes. Today, though, I'm on vacation so I used my Dutch Oven and let it simmer on low for about 2 hours." Chaya from Chaya's Comfy Cook Blog is here with a healthful Ellie Krieger special, Tuscan Vegetable Soup. Chaya says, "I am not sure I see anything astonishing about this recipe, except the taste. The taste was out of this world. It was hard, for me to believe, I was eating vegetable soup, a mundane, nourishing food. I am so glad that I have Ellie Krieger's first book. I want her second book. This is a meal, I anticipate making again and again." Welcome to Sumana from With Coffee & Tea, making her first appearance at Souper Sundays. Sumana's blog specializes in "Indian food, mainly snacks that go with tea & coffee." She is sharing a classic Vegetable Soup with an Indian twist, full of good veggies and spices like garlic (lasan), ginger (adrak), and coriander leaves (dhania patta). Glad to have you with us this week Sumana! Another new face this week is Lee Ann at Mangos Chili and Z, from Highlands Ranch, Colorado. Lee Ann has an Island Stew to share that looks like it would be right at home in my kitchen in Hawaii. She says, "I have an arsenal of soup recipes. Some are extravaganzas to prepare, and others easy enough to prepare after work on a week night. This is one of those. I've had this recipe for years. I love the flavors and I don't know how I ever lived without the combination of coconut milk, cilantro and lime." Welcome Lee Ann! Kait from Pots and Plots has a very unique and intriguing dish this week, a Lapsang Souchong Chili made with the smoky tea. Kait says, "Some chilis are very straight forward with beef or turkey, beans, chili powder, cumin, sometimes tomatoes, sometimes not. Some chilis have ingredients that make you go hmmm. Coffee. Cocoa powder. Beer. Well this chili has tea. Well the end result was very interesting. I loved it. I'm really intrigued by all the layers of smokey flavor. My husband prefers more traditional chili. Eh, win some, lose some. If you're looking for something different to try, this is it." Some very hearty and delicious soups, stews and chili! Thanks to everyone who joined me in the Souper Sunday Kitchen this week, as well as a big Mahalo to everyone who has taken part in Souper (Soup, Salad & Sammie) Sundays over the past year. Whether you have dropped in with a dish or two, or have become a regular participant stopping in often, you are truly appreciated! Thank you also to the readers who come by and visit the SS posts too, as your positive comments really keep me going with fitting a Sunday recap into my schedule every week. If you want to join in and have a soup or soup-like dish, salad or sandwich to share, just click on the logo on the side bar to get all the details. Have a wonderful week! (BTW--you still have until midnight today to enter to win John Besh's "My New Orleans". Don't miss out! You can get the details on how to enter here). Aloha!
