I noticed vim was replaced with nvi. What are the reasons for that? Wasn't "vi" (the vi package of vim) lightweight enough? I personally hate nvi, it's way worse than vim.
If you wanted a more lightweight alternative to vim, why choose nvi rateher than original ex/vi? It's no better than ex/vi, but it's only twice the size of ex/vi and it starts slower. Anyway, I think even the most stripped-down Vim is better than nvi or ex/vi. Maybe you should do the same as Fedora, where "vi" is a lightweight vim without even a syntax highlighting.
Since nvi is supposed to be more lightweight, why is it then compiled with perl and tcl/tk support? Why is static library libvi.a included in the package? And finally, why is nvi complaining:
./C: No such file or directory
every time I open it?

Could you please compare nvi and super-stripped-vim sizewise?
For the time being, you can install vim, I can still see it w/ pacman and in ABS, so you may recompile it to suit your needs ... like I did.
Arch let's you install anything you want, nvi is what the devs chose, but you're allowed to disagree w/ their choices.

There was a thread or two about this on the arch-general ML and also a some bug on bugzilla.
If I remember correctly the reasons were
1) size (it's included in the install cd)
2) dependencies (it used shared libs with vim I think, so it pulled ruby and python)
3) some weird setup of vi/vim, so that people on #vim channel when asking for some help got "ah, you're on archlinux, they ship badly packaged vim, so basically we won't/can't help you"
EDIT: formulation
Last edited by bender02 (2009-05-27 16:50:32)
The first two reasons don't make much sense to me.
1) size (it's included in the install cd)
Original vi (http://ex-vi.sourceforge.net/) is even smaller than nvi and provides virtually same functionality.
2) dependencies (it used shared libs with vim I think, so it pulled ruby and python)
The "vi" vim package was compiled without perl/python/ruby. "vim" and "gvim" packages had perl/python/ruby support. And again, original vi has even less dependencies than nvi (no db).
I've seen the bug report. If you're right, than it's a really nice work you've done.
I chose to compile my own vi(m) than experiment w/ nvi. Again, you can pick any editor, movie player etc. you like. Your arguments may be valid but the devs are more or less free to choose what to put in there. I think they're always trying to balance weight and features and not everything gets tested before inclusion. Looks like there'll be a new cron so you may want to put forward your arguments wrt ex-vi.

Nope, still awake! Great stitching going on there! As for Submarine, I have no clue. Sometimes the floss symbols are so alike maybe you misread them? Check the Blackbird Designs website, an error may have occurred during the charting. Now that you're a celebrity with an assumed identity, curious eyes are going to follow your every move stitching those Scarlett's up!ReplyDeleteReplies
Lol thank you for staying awake! I have check the blackbird chart and the symbols, it's right... I think I will change the colour myself and frog it! Hmm oh well... Or maybe I will just start again? It's so sad but it's put me off. Yes my concentration now is on the Scarlet Letter designs! Cannot wait to start them!Delete
I see the different colors of yellow they're just brighter :). I think it looks great you've made good progress. Congrats on the magazine that's awesome!Delete
I added in the update! So pleased it's now resolved :)Delete
Loved this post! You have a great hubby! And Nicola is a very generous soul and does a great job making everyone feel welcome at the Scarlet Letter Facebook page. Love to see your progress.ReplyDelete
I love it..a perfect post! Gorgeous stitching..not sure what to suggest for the submarine..maybe email blackbird designs?ReplyDelete
All your stitching looks so wonderful , enjoy your stitching hugs.ReplyDelete
What a shame about the yellow submarine. I can understand not wanting to do all the frogging now.ReplyDelete
August is adorable.
Your little august piece is adorable! I like the challenge of stitching small too sometimes I don't want the end result to be so big!ReplyDelete
Wonderful progress and cute finish Jacquie. I love your new chart.ReplyDelete
Amei conhecer o seu blog, já fiquei por aqui!!!Achei maravilhoso!!!ReplyDelete

You've been stitching up wonderful things Jacqui, very lovely.ReplyDelete
Great quilting magazine you got, might have to get myself one of those.
As you can tell, I'm having a blog catch up, been on hols for 10 days with no internet!
Love and {hugs} x
I would definitely frog the yellow. Is the model picture stitched in DMC? Sometimes they use other colours. You can just about see the difference but to be honest, the lighter patches just look thin to me!ReplyDelete
Nicola is a wonderful and generous person. You probably don't know that I was involved in setting up the original blogs for her and then the FB group although I don't post much there. She has gifted me a Scarlet Letter sampler for each Christmas since we started. My current one is Elizabeth Shephard.
Beautiful work!ReplyDelete
How wonderful that you have popped in to visit me.
Thank You so much for taking time to leave a comment.

Little Monkette and I went to a baby shower yesterday for a girl from our church. She did not have a gift registry because she said that they already had everything they really needed. I was originally thinking that I would get her some diapers and wipes since every baby needs plenty of each. After some time and thought though, I decided to make her a few things. I have been making "tag" blankets as gifts for many of our friends when they have babies so I planned to make her one too. I ended up making a matching gift set with the personalized tag blanket, tie onesie, set of pee pee teepees and a personalized pacifier. I found a tutorial for the pee pee teepees at Little Birdie Secrets. The pacifier is an item that we sell in our etsy shop.
For each item I wrote a little saying/poem and attached to the wrapped gift. I originally did this because I was thinking I might need to explain the Pee Pee TeePees. After I came up with a poem for it (I didn't like any of the ones I found online.), I decided that all the other items needed something too. It sounded like a great idea and it was but it took a bit of work for me to come up with stuff. I even posted on my Facebook status asking for help! Amy came through and helped me with two of the items. Here is what I had attached to each item:
1. It can be hard to dress up your guy, But he's sure to look handsome in this little tie.
2. Tag! (Baby's Name Here) is it! He will love cuddling with this blanket.
3. Changing diapers are often a pain; Especially with boys who make it rain.
Next time put this tent on his "wee," To be sure that you aren't covered in pee!
4. "He'll never stop crying," you might think, Plug him up with a personalized bink.

Welcome to the fourth installment in my examination of the final two films written by famed scribe Paddy Chayefsky. In the first two installments of the series (which can be read here and here) I broke down the underlining high weirdness in the film Network, with a special emphasis on the disembodied voice Howard Beale (the mad prophet of the airwaves) claims to have heard one night. Essentially I argued that this voice was an aspect of a transformation Beale's consciousness is undergoing, a transformation that has granted him illumination and madness simultaneously.
|Howard Beale
For this installment I'd like to begin breaking down Altered States's twilight language-laden plot line but before doing so a bit more background in the film is needed to put it into perspective. As many fans are undoubtedly aware, Altered States (both the novel Chayefsky originally wrote as well as the film) was chiefly inspired by the peculiar experiments of psychonaut John C. Lilly. Lilly is chiefly remembered in this day and age for his incredible work with dolphins (which inspired another film, Day of the Dolphins), but he was also one of the first scientists to seriously investigate sensory deprivation and, eventually, entheogens. Such research inevitably brought him to the attention of the US intelligence community, which pursued a vast array of fringe sciences at the onset of the Cold War, a prospect Lilly would try to disassociate himself from professionally time and again.
"In 1954 Lilly began trying to isolate the operations of the brain, free of outside stimulation, through sensory deprivation. He worked in an office next to Dr. Maitland Baldwin, who the following year agreed to perform terminal sensory deprivation experiments for ARTICHOKE's Morse Allen but who never told Lilly he was working in the field. While Baldwin experimented with his sensory-deprivation 'box,' Lilly invented a special 'tank.' Subjects floated in a tank of body-temperature water, wearing a face mask that provided are but cut off sight and sound. Inevitably, intelligence officials swooped down on Lily again, interested in the use of his tank as an interrogation tool. Could involuntary subjects be placed in the tank and broken down to the point where their belief systems or personalities could be altered?
"It was central to Lilly's ethic that he himself be the first subject of any experiment, and, in the case of the consciousness-exploring tank work, he and one colleague were the only ones. Lilly realized that the intelligence agencies were not interested in sensory deprivation because of its positive benefits, and he finally concluded that it was impossible for him to work at the National Institute of Health without compromising his principles. He quit in 1958.
"Contrary to most people's intuitive expectations, Lilly found sensory deprivation to be a profoundly integrating experience for himself personally. He considered himself to be a scientist who subjectively explored the far wanderings of the brain. In a series of private experiments, he pushed himself into the complete unknown by injecting pure Sandoz LSD into his thigh before climbing into the sensory-deprivation tank. When the counterculture sprang up, Lilly became something of a cult figure, with his unique approach to scientific inquiry --though he was considered more of an outcast by many in the professional research community.
"For most of the outside world, Lilly became famous with the release of the popular film, The Day of the Dolphin, which the filmmaker acknowledge was based on Lilly's work with dolphins after he left NIH. Actor George C. Scott portrayed a scientist who, like Lilly, loved dolphins, did pioneering experiments on their intelligence, and tried to find ways to communicate with them. In the movie, Scott became dismayed when the government pounced on his breakthrough in talking to dolphins and turned it immediately to the service of war. In real life, Lilly was similarly dismayed when Navy and CIA scientist trained dolphins for special warfare in the waters of Vietnam."
(The Search for the "Manchurian Candidate", John Marks, pgs. 152-153)
By the 1970s Lilly had also become involved with the peculiar crowd that had gathered around the notorious medical and parapsychological researcher (and some time US intelligence asset) Andrija Puharich, groundbreaking physicist Jack Sarfatti, and legendary stage magician Uri Geller (among others). While this group, which included virtually every major psychonaut from the counterculture as well as a host of other rogue scientists and artists, has rarely been addressed in mainstream histories they would have a shocking degree of influence on popular culture for decades to come. Apparently one of the chief bonds many members of this clique shared was a belief that they had been contacted by some type of nonhuman intelligence.
"In the 1970s, however, when Sarfatti was still developing the theories that would later make him famous in the world of physics, he was hanging out with Puharich, Uri Geller, and other notables in the hothouse atmosphere of radical thinking about science, communication, information, and psychic phenomena. Sarfatti claims to have introduced Geller to Jacques Vallee --the French UFO researcher of Passport to Magonia fame --and both to Steven Spielberg. Spielberg would later produce Close Encounters of the Third Kind, using Vallee as a technical adviser... This same nexus of Puharich and Sarfatti is said to have influenced Gene Roddenberry in his development of the Star Trek television series. And behind all of this is the hugely influential figure of Ira Einhorn, usually referred to as 'the Unicorn' after the translation of his surname into English.
"For a while, Einhorn served as Sarfatti's literary agent (as he did with Puharich to get Beyond Telepathy reprinted). Einhorn was active in New Age pursuits, a kind of P. T. Barnum of hippiedom, making connections and networking, bringing together people he felt should be brought together to create a kind of explosion of new thinking that cut across traditional disciplinary lines. So you had filmmakers talking this physicist, psychics talking to soldiers, and spies talking everybody. Seminars were held, books and papers published. People like science-fiction author Philip K. Dick (who was discovered by Hollywood in the 1990s, unfortunately after his death) and Robert Anton Wilson could be found in kaffeklatsch with Timothy Leary, John Lilly, Saul Paul Sirag, and assorted G-men. There was a sense among these people that an event of momentous importance to the planet was imminent, and that they were in the forefront of whatever it was going to be.
"Many of them had already had paranormal contacts of some sort (a list that includes Sarfatti, Wilson, Dick, Geller, Puharich, and many, many others) and were certain that these contacts signaled the beginning of a more overt presence by these beings. These were people with government grants and contracts at the highest levels of the US military... And not only the US military. The Soviets were also involved, if only the peripherally. And much of this was going on relatively un-noticed by the American people at large. Although they had seen Uri Geller bend spoons on national television, and had read the stories and novels by Dick and Robert Anton Wilson, for instance, they had no idea that all this activity was being produced by a loosely-organized group of intellectuals operating half-in, half-out of the mainstream... And half-in, half-out of the US government."
(Sinister Forces Book III, Peter Levenda, pgs. 245-246)
|Puharich (top) with the Pope and Sarfatti (bottom)
"In his book on the Israeli psychic Uri Geller, Dr. Andrija Puharich, a neurologist of some professional reputation which he is presumably not eager to destroy by going out on a limb, asserts that both he and Geller have frequently received communications from extraterrestrials...
"Dr. John Lilly, internationally known psychoanalyst, neuro-anatomist, cyberneticist, mathematician and delphinologist, gently hints that he has also received such communications. Academia, relieved that Dr. Lilly is only hinting and not saying it outright, happily ignores the potential breakthrough."
(Cosmic Trigger Volume I, Robert Anton Wilson, pg. 79)This is probably more interesting in the context of the film Network rather than Altered States as the disembodied voice that speak to Howard Beale is so central to the plot line of that film. Was this encounter, which echoes some of the metaphysical trappings of the day (as noted in part two of this series), based upon the claims made by some individuals affiliated with the Puharich group?
It's certainly a compelling possibility but I've been unable to determine when exactly Chayefsky began delving into this type of high weirdness. He likely began working on the original novel version of Altered States sometime around 1976, a point when this loose confederation of intellectuals was still very much in contact with one another. I've been unable to find anything indicating that Chayefsky had any association with anyone in this network other than Lilly (though Steven Spielberg was reportedly approached to direct Altered States at one point, an allegation I've been unable to confirm) though it's interesting to note that director Ken Russell went on to direct a TV movie in 1996 called Mindbender that was based on the life of Uri Geller and reportedly depicted the efforts of an American scientist (likely based upon Puharich) to bring the famed Israeli psychic over to the United States. Unfortunately, there is very little information available on this film on the net and I've been unable to track a copy down.
Altered States certainly incorporated more than a few theories that this network had explored, however, and there are several parts of the film that seem to have been inspired partly upon real-life experiences of several of the above-mentioned figures. This will of course be addressed in much greater depth later on as we come to such points. Those curious about the Puharich group are advised to check out my article on The Nine as well as an excellent resent piece Christopher Knowles has written on said group and topic. Two installments (which can be found here and here) in my series concerning the US Intelligence community's involvement with the UFO crowd also address the Puharich network at length.
But anyway, let us start in on the film. Altered States opens just as Jessup has begun to experiment with a university isolation tank with the assistance of his good friend, Arthur Rosenberg (Bob Balaban). The opening sequence depicts Jessup suspended in such a tank while voiceover narration (Arthur) recounts his discovery of the device and his initial venture into it in April of 1967. From there the film moves into its opening credit sequence, which features the much celebrated "sliding" opening titles.
When the film picks up again Jessup is emerging from the isolation tank and already buzzing on about the possibilities. As he and Arthur depart from the facility he discusses the lack of quality research into altered states, dismissing the bulk of it as "radical hip stuff." He then goes on to name drop three researchers who impressed him: Tart, Ornstein and Deikman.
These are most likely references to Charles Tart, Robert Ornstein and Arthur Deikman. All three men are either psychiatrists or psychologists who delved into both altered states of consciousness as well as alternative religions. Tart studied the works of Gurdjieff as well as Buddhism and Eastern techniques of mediation. Ornstein heavily incorporated the Sufism of Idries Shah into his counterculture-era work. Deikman also studied under Shah as well trying out the zen mediation of Suzuki Roshi. Both Tart and Deikman also become involved in the Human Potential Movement, Tart with the Institute of Noetic Science and Monroe Institute (he also seemingly had some type of involvement in SRI's legendary remote viewing experiments, a topic I wrote much more on here) while Deikman studied at Esalen during the 1960s. While I've been unable to confirm if Tart, Ornstein or Deikman were involved in the Puharich network it would hardly be beyond the realm of possibility, Tart being an especially likely associate of said network. But I digress --Back to the film.
|Tart (top), Ornstein (middle) and Deikman (bottom)
Things really get going when the action moves to a party at the Rosenberg residence amongst academics. The festivities are in full 1960s glory (the Summer of Love was just beginning to unfold in April of 1967, after all) with the Doors' "Light My Fire" (a most appropriate selection considering the Doors took their name from Huxley's The Doors of Perception , one of the first serious works on entheogens) playing in the background while Arthur and several other academics discuss Jessup and his flakiness amongst puffs off a joint. One particular individual involved in the rotation is Emily (Blair Brown), the woman Jessup will ultimately marry, who listens in with stoned fascination.
|Emily with party favorite
The doorbell rings and Mrs. Rosenberg opens it as Emily looks on. This leads to the film's first striking use of hallways, in this case framing Jessup, from the point of view of Emily, against a backdrop of white from which his distorted figure emerges. It gives the effect of Jessup stepping in from another world. Conversely Emily looks, from Jessup's point of view, like an almost angelic figure against the backdrop of a stain windowpane featuring a peculiar design I cannot quite make out.
Director Ken Russell continues to use hallways, doorways and other entranceways as a visual cues throughout the film for when significant moments are upon us. This is a most apt visual for such things symbolically represent the threshold between the known and unknown.
"Gateways symbolize the scene of passing from one state to another, from one world to another, from the known to the unknown, from light to darkness. Doors open upon the mysterious, but they have a dynamic psychological quality for they not only indicate a threshold but invite us to cross it. It is an invitation to a voyage into the unknown.
"The passage to which they invite us is more often than not, in the symbolic sense of the term, a passage from the ream of the profane to that of the sacred."
(Dictionary of Symbols, Jean Chevalier & Alain Gheerbrant, pg. 422)And indeed, the relationship between Emily and Jessup takes them to the edge of the sacred and the profane with the line frequently being blurred between the two.
The relationship that will develop from this first meeting between Emily and Edward Jessup is crucial to the film's broader story arc on multiple levels. Initially it is a surreal, dreamlike encounter in which both characters develop an immediate rapport for one another as the movie drifts out of the fog. By the early evening they've already departed back to her apartment where they engage in what is nearly transcendental sex for Edward upon the sofa. Jessup tells her of religious imagery that enters into his mind as the act reached its conclusion and goes on to recount the visions he had as a child of angels, saints, and so forth. He then confesses to her that the visions stopped after his father's death from a protracted struggle with cancer when Edward was 16, an event he has not divulged to anyone for many years.
Jessup's discovery of the isolation tank and his chance encounter with Emily start him upon a journey that will not be completed until several years later and which will bring all those around him to the very extremes of human consciousness. Thus, the quasi-mystical trappings of Jessup's first meeting with Emily are most justified and are even reminiscent of one of the most curious occult episodes of the 20th century: Jack Parsons' first encounter with Marjorie Cameron.
While I'm sure many of you are aware of this episode here is a brief run down for the uninitiated: Parsons was a brilliant rocket scientist and co-founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the 1940s. He was also an occult adept involved in Aleister Crowley's Ordo Templi Orientis and regularly corresponded with the Great Beast. Sometime around 1945 he also became involved with L. Ron Hubbard (yes, the future founder of the Church of Scientology), a relationship he would live to regret. But before their falling out Parsons and Hubbard performed a bizarre, Crowley-derived ritual known as the Babalon Working.
"Parsons began his magical operation. Known as the Babalon Working, its aim was to attract the Southern Californian equivalent of the Great Whore of Babalon. His main weapon was the OTO VII Degree rite, usually practiced alone. But in this case, Parsons asked Hubbard to assist as scryer, rather in the manner of Dee and Kelley. With Prokofiev's Violin Concerto hammering in the background, Parsons worked himself into a magical state, while Hubbard described what was taking place on the astral plane, going through a repertoire of talismans, amulets, sigils and signs, and rituals like the Invocation of the Bornless One, and the Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram.
"Not much happened. A windstorm kicked up. A table lamp mysteriously smashed in the night. A strange phantom figure attacked L. Ron. There were raps and a weird metallic, insect-like voice. Then she appeared.
"When the two magicians returned from a mysterious interlude in the Mojave Desert... Marjorie Cameron had descended on Parsons' bohemian household. His Scarlet Woman was willing -- impatient even -- to throw herself into the magical and sexual workings Parsons had in mind. She had fiery red hair, slant green eyes, was talented and intelligent; but it was her obstinate and perverse character that convinced Parsons his had magic worked. He wrote to his magical father telling him so. Crowley replied that he was particularly interested in what he had to say about his 'elemental'..."
(Turn Off Your Mind, Gary Lachman, pgs. 227-228)
|Marjorie Cameron
I know linking the first encounter between Jessup and Emily to the Parsons/Cameron episode is a bit of a stretch but its at least possible Chayefsky was aware of this bizarre incident. Certainly several individuals involved with the above-mentioned Puharich/Geller network were aware of it (Robert Anton Wilson briefly describes it in his 1977 work Cosmic Trigger Volume I: Final Secrets of the Illuminati, for instance) while Cameron herself had become a very minor counterculture icon after her involvement with Parsons and later film work (including an appearance in legendary occult director Kenneth Anger's Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome).
Beyond this, the circumstances of both meetings are somewhat similar. Parsons first encountered Cameron after performing a transcendental magical working while Jessup meets Emily at a party after his first experience in an isolation tank and his decision to begin experimenting with it. And Emily is certainly a visual Scarlet Woman, with fiery red hair of her own (though her eyes do not appear to be green in this film). Indeed, red hair in and of itself is symbolically loaded on several levels, but especially because of its association with the mythological Scarlet Woman. I've been unable to determine whether or not the Emily character was described as having red hair in the novel but it certainly seems like a deliberate choice in the film version.
Sex between Jessup and Emily at times takes on aspects of a religious encounter, at least for Jessup (Emily describes it as "being harpooned by some raging monk in the act of receiving God"), which is certainly in keeping with the ritualistic sexual acts Parsons embarked upon with Cameron.
Finally, the encounter with Emily (as well as the isolation tank) seems to awaken Jessup's slumbering spirituality. His first sexual encounter with Emily stirs memories of his religious visions as a child as well as a confession of their connection to his father's death. And shortly after his relationship with Emily begins Jessup has one of what will be several highly allegorical hallucinations in an isolation tank. But not only is this particular hallucination laden with religious symbolism, but it also seems to allude to both Jessup's past and future.
|the beginning of the hallucination
It begins with what are presumably images of Jessup's father and his death from cancer. Jessup is seen dropping a Bible, then a piece of cloth with the face of Jesus on it falls from the face of Jessup's father and bursts into flames. A flaming cross then appears before the chest of Jessup's father as he sits upon his hospital bed.
From there Jessup himself is depicted with the head of a seven-eyed lamb, crucified upon a cross. The lamb has of course long been associated with Christ himself in Christian symbolism while the seven-eyed lamb head Jessup adopts during this hallucination is taken directly from the Book of Revelations. In general, the number seven is highly significant in Christian mythology, but especially concerning the highly allegorical Book of Revelations.
"By Sumerian times seven (with some of its multiples) had become a sacred number and it was certainly the darling child of Biblical numerology. Since it corresponded to the number of the planets, it always characterized perfection... if not the godhead itself. The week comprises seven days in memory of the length of Creation... If the Passover feast of unleavened bread lasted seven days..., this was undoubtedly because the Exodus itself is regarded as a new creation and one which brought salvation.
"Zechariah... speaks of the seven eyes of God. Then there are the groups of seven in the Book of Revelation. The seven lamps which are the seven spirits of God signify the spirit of God in its fullness...; the seven letters to the seven churches signify the Church as a whole; and there are the seven trumpets, cups and so on. All these herald the final accomplishment of God's will in the world.
"This is why seven is also the devil's number, since Satan, 'the ape of God,' always strives to imitate God -- hence the beast with seven heads... However, the visionary of Patmos more usually kept half seven, three and a half, for the powers of evil, thereby showing that the designs of the Evil One were doomed to failure...
"Seven is the key to St. John's Gospel -- seven weeks, seven miracles, seven references to Christ as 'I am.' Seven recurs forty times in the Book of Revelation in groups of seven: Seals, trumpets, cups, visions and so on. The book is composed in series of seven. The number also denotes the fullness of a period of time, such as Creation in Genesis; the ending of a period of time, and era or a phase; the plenitude of the graces given to the church by the Holy Spirit."
(Dictionary of Symbols, Jean Chevalier & Alain Gheerbrant, pg. 862)
|the seven-eyed lamb (top) and Jessup with its head( bottom), crucified
Seven is also the number of years that will pass before Jessup will begin his experiments concerning consciousness again after his marriage to Emily and tenure at Harvard consumes nearly a decade of his life. At the time of this hallucination Emily has not yet asked Jessup to marry her, though the visions allude to this as well as Jessup's eventual ventures into Mexico in search of the First Self (the entrance shape of the cave in which Jessup participates in a shamanistic entheogen ritual with a native tribe is first shown in this hallucination and will continue to appear to Jessup throughout the movie).
|the cave, the entrance of which first appears in he first depicted hallucination of Jessup's
Jessup also witnesses an actual seven-eyed lamb have it's throat slit with a sacrificial knife, its blood spilling upon what appears to be some type of holy book depicting the lambed-head Jessup upon his cross and a seven-eyed lamb head above it. I interrupt this as Jessup's sacrifice of his old self in search of the First Soul. Later on he witnesses a red dot that a shaman later describes as the first step "into the void." From there the above-mentioned cave image appears. Finally Jessup witnesses himself sans the lamb head violently engaged in coitus (rape?) with Emily, who lays spread-eagle upon what appears to be an altar. I suppose this is a reflection upon both the ritual and suffering their marriage bring.
This hallucination is clearly still on Jessup's mind when he encounters Emily shortly thereafter. Jessup is in the midst of his research concerning schizophrenics. Emily has just been accepted onto the faculty of Harvard, a post Jessup to will soon hold. She asks him for marriage, a proposition Jessup tries half-heartedly to talk her out of. He drifts into some ramblings about the possibilities that schizophrenia is simply an attempt to transform the self (some such as Peter Levenda have argued that forms of insanity such as schizophrenia are the result of failed attempts at a shamanistic transformation not unlike the one Jessup is beginning to go through) before accepting Emily's proposal, perhaps due to a subconscious realization that she is the only thing that will ultimately spare him from the fate of his subjects.
After Jessup accepts Emily's marriage proposal the film flashes forward seven years, when Arthur and his family have once again encountered Jessup and Emily in San Francisco. It is soon revealed that Jessup has asked Emily for a divorce. When Arthur asks him about this Jessup bemoans the politics of academia, his lack of legitimate research and ultimately sums up his relationship to Emily as thus:
"Emily's quite content to go on with this life. She insists she's in love with me - whatever that is. What she means is she prefers the senseless pain we inflict on each other to the pain we would otherwise inflict on ourselves. But I'm not afraid of that solitary pain. In fact, if I don't strip myself of all this clatter and clutter and ridiculous ritual, I shall go out of my fucking mind."In other words, the journey that he began seven years ago will not leave him be until he has finished it. With out realizing it, Jessup has already signed up for the second leg of this journey: a trip to Mexico to observer an ancient shamanistic vision quest performed by the fictional Hinchi tribe. In the fifth installment in this series I shall pick with Jessup's Mexican expedition. Stay tuned.

The sunset photo of the city skyline is outstanding...you should frame it and sell it.
Lovely photo's. It must be difficult steadying those sea legs, but i'm looking forward t hearing about your future adventures whether they're on land or sea xx
When I lived in Colombia if it was cloudy and rainy for more than a few hours everybody would say "hay mucho inverieno, no?" (instead of the word for rain they used the word for winter!) Welcome to New England!
Different strokes for different folks! For myself I could no more work in a marina in the Caribbean like Alex has been doing than hold my breath for 20 minutes. The proof came a couple of years ago when I brought a delivery boat down from New England and ended up alongside a beautiful Swan 70 in a marina in St. Martin. I was offered a full time job as skipper, but thought for about one minute about the heat and lack of breeze when you aren't underway and got on the next plane north.
ps: I now live in Jackson Hole Wyoming where it is below 0 almost every night in the winter. Just about right!
Freezing cold? Its mid to upper 80's F all this week.... dang, hate to see what you think hot is... ;-)
What gorgeous pics!!!! Enjoy this new journey!
Yes the last few days have actually been pretty pleasant and sunny, but the days before that .. Hoping the summery warmth will stay for some time.
The weather and people are pretty miserable in Boston. I'd move further south for the warmer weather and friendly people.
Thanks for keeping the blog going and best of luck wherever you go.
I can totally relate to your difficulties of deciding where to go, live and stay when the possibilities are endless. It's a good problem to have, but a problem nevertheless, haha!

him to positions as a newspaper columnist and marching percussion instructor/arranger. He also served as a member of the Massachusetts Judges Association for marching bands and drum corps from 1979-1984.
He hails from Gary, Indiana but has lived the majority of his life in Massachusetts. Some of his newspaper columns have been reprinted for inspirational use by teacher's unions and parents groups throughout the North Shore of Massachusetts. He has traveled extensively, including recent trips to Hong Kong, Germany, Canada, Thailand, and Ireland and these experiences have greatly enriched his views on international affairs. The marching musical units he has been involved with such as the North Star and Malden Diplomats have enjoyed tremendous competitive success throughout North America in the late 1970's and early 1980's.

Other Vehicle Cost Factors
The cost savings calculator does not factor in any costs that may be incurred in battery replacement charges nor does it factor in the additional costs associated with internal combustion engine (ICE) servicing. So let's consider those.
Batteries wear out and a replacement battery will eventually be needed. Nissan guarantee their batteries against defects for 96 months or 160,000 kms (whichever occurs earlier) and capacity loss for 5 years or 96,500 kms (whichever occurs earlier). The average kms per annum for Australian motorists is approximately 15,000kms so an owner will expect to replace the batteries about every 7 years. To allay owners fears of hefty replacement costs, vehicle manufactures are coming up with novel, inexpensive replacement plans – for example a replacement battery for the Nissan Leaf will cost owners US dollars $100 per month.
"Owners can opt in at any time. When they opt into the program, they will receive a new battery pack with the latest available technology that is compatible with their vehicle. Then, Nissan provides assurance that the replacement pack will maintain 9 bars or more capacity for the time that they own their car and make monthly payments. If their battery drops below 9 bars, we will repair or replace the battery pack." Brian Brockman Nissan's senior manager of corporate communications. This cost is transferable to the new owner if the car is sold. This gives peace of mind to owners that they will not be slugged with a major payment when the battery needs replacing.
Now how about the servicing costs associated with ICE vehicles. Every car owner knows the expense of servicing and replacement parts. Hefty! With EVs there is relatively little servicing and of course no expensive exhaust systems, starter motors, fuel injection systems, radiators and a myriad of other parts that simply aren't needed with an EV. What are those cost savings over a 7 year period. Difficult to quantify but in a word substantial.

NEW YORK -- Let's put a bow (and curtsy) on the 2015 Australian Open with a quick Mailbag. But before we get going:
a) Thanks to everyone who emailed, tweeted, interacted during the event. Sorry I couldn't always get to all of your questions, but you guys make the majors even better. We'll do it again in Paris (if not before).
b) I pledge to do this more often: Cleaning out the notebook, I want to share with you some tennis chatter from last weekend. Here's Serena's coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, moments after his protégé's 19th major title:
Q: Do you ever expect [Serena] to lose to Maria?
Patrick Mouratoglou: Never. Why? If someone beats someone 15 or 16 times [in a row], you have to admit they are a better player. She's just a better player. I mean, Maria is an incredible player, Maria is also improving, always trying to come to the court with new things. Tonight she played a very high level. But still, Serena wins in two sets. Did you ever see Maria play better than tonight? And, still, she loses in two sets. When I say a better player, [Serena] has bigger weapons and mentally maybe she is a bit better. And it makes a difference. Maria is an incredible player. But when you beat someone so many times in a row, then something…
Q: What do you make of Serena mentally? Match point she hits a let. Then hits the exact same serve to the exact same place.
Mouratoglou: Not exactly, a bit higher…
Q: What's your explanation, beyond the clichés about "rising to the challenge"…
Mouratoglou: I knew she would do it. I knew she would hit the same serve and I knew she would hit an ace. When I look at her I know what is going to happen. In the second set, she was down 0-30 on every game, but if I looked at her, I knew she was going to come to 30-30.
Q: Why?
Mouratoglou: Because I know there are things that come to her mind, And when they do come to her mind, they make her incredible.
Q: Do you discuss this? The mental strength, what do you attribute this to?
Mouratoglou: There are things you can and can't explain. I think first of all, she has a certain education from her family that makes her a really tough person, tough in competition, an unbelievable competitor. She was raised with nothing, she comes from nowhere and she became maybe the biggest player of all-time because of her mentality. Plus, I think, the father did it with both sisters, so it has to do with the education a lot. When education meets a personality like Serena, it creates, maybe the biggest champion of all-time. She has something she was born with and it's her character. She refuses to lose. And when she refuses to lose, she finds solutions that are incredible.
Have a question or comment for Jon? Email him at email@example.com or tweet him @jon_wertheim.
Novak Djokovic is 5-6 all-time at the Aussie Open. Rafa Nadal is 9-1 at the French Open. It's not even close...
-- @TorontoTom
• This pertains to my suggestion (phrased as a question) that Melbourne is feeling like Djokovic's domain the way Paris feels like Nadal's. Obviously the numbers suggest that we're not there yet. Nadal has, as @TorontoTom notes, won in Paris nine out of ten times. Consider this another way: he has won the French Open more times than any player in history has won any other Slam.
Still, there has become a sense that the Djokovic is starting to own Melbourne in a similar way. The surface plays perfectly to Djokovic's game; his past success inflates his present confidence; when the tournament starts you take him against the field; winning a set against him is considered an achievement. It takes a Herculean effort or set of circumstances for someone else to win the trophy, something only one player has done in the last half-decade.
On Twitter you asked the question: "What is more likely, Nadal catching Federer or Djokovic catching Nadal?" But you never answered it yourself. What do you say?
-- Bryan H., Brooklyn, N.Y.
• As a matter of math, you have to say Nadal. He's within three titles of tying Federer. You figure that, even at compromised health, he might well be able to win the French Open three more times, no? (Then the debate starts: Nadal leads the head-to-head. But Federer's Slam titles are more evenly distributed. And we're off…)
One does sense, though, that Djokovic is coming hard. While he's only a year younger than Nadal chronologically, he has lot less physical wear and tear. The big variable here is Nadal's health.
I love the "50 Parting Thoughts" franchise. There's one thing I partially disagree with that you mentioned (in a nutshell): "The weather was delightful for players and fans." While it was nice not to have faint-inducing heat —like last year, or that Hingis vs. Capriati final in 2002, when they had to take them to the locker rooms and cover them with ice for 10 minutes— it was disappointing that this year it rained during both finals.
My point being: The Serena vs. Sharapova final was almost an indoors match. Out Serena's six title matches in Melbourne, four have been played with the roof closed (2003 vs. Venus, 2007 vs. Sharapova, 2010 vs. Henin and 2015 vs. Sharapova). Djokovic vs. Murray also played with the roof closed.
I hate thinking of the Australian Open as an "indoor" sort-of Slam, at least during the finals. Should the A.O. move the final matches to the day, instead of the night, or try to avoid somehow for this to keep happening? What are your thoughts of a Slam with so many finals played "indoors"?
-- Cristina Kalb, N.Y.
• That's a really good point. I meant the weather wasn't a factor in terms of Snoopy hallucinations and ice vests and threats of heat stroke. But, Cristina's point is well taken. When rain (or mere threat of rain) causes the roof to close, and the event moves from al fresco to indoors, it can have a significant impact. The change in conditions—the lower bounce, the humidity, the faster court—are real. Like most sporting events, the Australian Open is beholden to television and so long as the rights-holder likes the prime time finals, not much will change.
When Murray chose former champion Lendl and won Wimbledon, it started a fad. Because of his run in Australian, do you expect more followers in his latest innovative coaching decision?
-- Barbara Katzenberg
• I do. But I also think economics play a role. Apart from sexism, the case against hiring a female coach used to go like this: she could not give you a competitive hit. This is also why female coaches have been dwindling in the women's game. Now, though, players can afford to have a coach and a hitting partner. Martina Navratilova, for instance, was on Aga Radwanska's side of the court while Radwanska practiced with mostly male partners.
Murray is uncommonly progressive here, not least because his own mother is a capable coach. I wouldn't expect wholesale change. But I do think more players, male and female, will entertain more options and more candidates when making these personnel decisions.
In Melbourne, Murray complained to the umpire about something Berdych said on the changeover and then complained that he lost concentration in the final because Djokovic allegedly played possum. Shouldn't someone at Murray's level -- the pinnacle of professional tennis -- handle both of these alleged transgressions by his opponent a bit more in stride?
-- Dan, New York, N.Y.
• I'm not sure I agree with your premise. Berdych muttered something on a changeover after tense set—for the record: he asserts it was a self-motivated "Good job, Tomas"—which is neither incendiary nor uncommon. Murray objected. Then he won 12 of the next 14 games. He turned this into a bit of mental warfare; and then won said war.
In golf there seems to be a pecking order in the majors, where the PGA Championship is for some reason the least significant major. Do you think there is a pecking order in the tennis Slams?
-- Eric Bukzin, Manorville, N.Y.
• The Australian used to be fourth, the Ringo of the Slams. It has since elevated its status. Aided by the fact they are played on different surfaces and in different countries, I think we're nearing parity among the majors. (I've noticed that when you ask players about Slam, it's more about aesthetics and personal preference—"I love Paris in the spring"—than real status in tennis terms.) The real pecking order now is among the Masters 1000s.
18 aces by a woman in a Grand Slam final, and 13 in the final set? Both have got to be records. No doubt the indoor conditions helped. When Sharapova saw that roof closing, it must have seemed not unlike the lid of her own coffin, sealing her fate.
-- Bob Kim, Gaithersburg, M.D.
• That this stat isn't easily obtainable is really an indictment. You have a sense tennis administrators still don't understand the appetite—and value—for easily accessed stats. My research tells me this is a record among women.
Question: Is there any doubt now that Serena is the greatest hard court player of all time? Loving your column.
-- Joe Johnson, Wilson Boro, PA
• Thanks. There's an extraneous phrase "hard court" in your question.
I think you made a mistake by forgetting to give a shout out to Stan Wawrinka in your "50 Parting Thoughts" from the Australian Open. I don't think it was intentional. Please give him his due in the next Mailbag as he was defending champion and took Djokovic to five sets to almost get to the final. Granted his ranking will drop to nine, but his backhand was outstanding until the fifth set. Then he started guiding it.
-- Sincerely, Sunil
• Good point. Wawrinka did himself proud defending his honor, if not his title and points haul. With bonus for the backhand, he was terrific for five rounds, including a statement win over Kei Nishikori. And he played Djokovic tougher than anyone else.
Though he obviously has a Slam, I'm starting to think of Wawrinka and Berdych as kindred spirits. Terrific players who had the misfortune of coinciding with the Big Four and are too old to be part of the ATP's push of Nishikori/Dimitrov/Raonic. Throw in Tsonga and maybe even Robin Soderling and Wawrinka/Berdych form a Lost Generation of sorts.

Valentines Day 2011
So, here I sit at my computer on Valentines day, at 12:31 in the morning! Why? Because this silly mom FORGOT to bake the heart shaped cookies for her childrens classrooms! 'Gasp'! The sad thing is that I had the whole day off until 6 pm, thats when I went to work at Publix. So when I got home from work at 11, I started the cookie dough....shaped it into two big hearts and baked each one. Now they are cooling off....debating whether or not I should wait up to frost them or just get up earlier in the AM (technically we are already in the AM) and frost them then. I will probably not want to get up in the AM to do it, so I had best do them tonight.....Oh the things we mothers do for our children! I don't think they have any clean long pants to wear tommorrow either, OH CRAP! I best get a load of laundry in too then! This night (morning, technically) just keeps getting better and better! Grrrrrr!

A private proxy server is a dedicated IP that is being exclusively used by only one client at a time, mainly to hide his public IP address assigned by the ISP.
As its name implies, a shared proxy is utilized by multiple users. This means if you or your company decides to use a shared proxy, it will be accessible to multiple people, not just you.
A private proxy is a proxy that is used only one user.It hides your IP(or MAC) address while adding security and protecting your privacy.Private proxies deliver fully anonymous surfing on the internet. It is important to remember that you leave a digital footprint in the form of your IP address when using the web. This means that almost anyone can see you on-line, including hackers and spammers. A private proxy server can almost guarantee your IP address will be invisible.Higher speed since no one else is working with the same proxy.Ability to bypass filters and firewalls since a private proxy server can circumvent these types of blocked websites. Protect privacy for minimal worry about your personal information being exposed or compromised when you make purchases or surf on the web.
Many people can be using public proxies at the same time, overloading their bandwidth and leaving you with a frustratingly slow internet experience. In other words, slow access is generally associated with free proxies because many (many) users are typically using them at any given time.
Private proxy means you, and only you, are using the proxy server. The result is reliable higher speed than a public proxy can deliver. Private proxies protect and deliver privacy with virtually no risk of having your personal information being exposed.
Stableproxies is a company which sells both private and shared proxy. You can choose whichever proxy you want and each proxy has various plans to choose from.They provide the best service in the industry.
Shared proxy Vs Private proxy ? A difficult question

Button, William (d.1654) (DNB00)
BUTTON, Sir WILLIAM (d. 1654), royalist, was descended from the old family of Bitton or Button, so called from the parish of Bitton in the county of Gloucester. He was the eldest son of William Button of Alton, and of Jane, daughter of John Lamb, in the county of Wiltshire (Berry, Hampshire Pedigrees). Lloyd (Memoirs, 649) confounds him with his son who died in 1660, and the error is repeated by Jackson (Aubrey, Collections for Wiltshire, 190). Both state that he was educated at Exeter College under Dr. Prideaux, and attended Sir Arthur Hepton in his embassy through France and Spain, but the original source of these statements is the sermon preached on 12 April 1660 by Francis Bayly in the parish church of North Wraxall at the funeral of the second Sir William Button, to whom alone they apply. The father of this Sir William Button was raised to the baronetage on 18 April 1621 (Burke, History of the Commoners, iv. 370). During the civil wars he was a staunch royalist, and on this account his house Tokenham Court was twice stripped and his property carried off, the first occasion being in June 1643 by Sir Ed. Hungerford, when his loss was 767l., and the second in June 1644 by a party of horse from Malmesbury garrison, when it amounted to 526l. 6s. In the November following his estate at Tokenham was sequestrated, after which he lived at his manor of Shaw near Overton. In 1646 he was fined 2,380l. for 'delinquency.' He died on 28 Jan. 1654–5, and was buried in the vault in the north aisle of North Wraxall church. Lloyd, confounding him with his son, gives the date of his death erroneously as 1660. By his marriage with Ruth, daughter of Walter Dunche of Avebury, he left four sons and three daughters.[Aubrey's Collections for Wiltshire, ed. Jackson, 190; Burke's History of the Commoners, iv. 370; Berry's Hampshire Pedigrees; Lloyd's Memoirs, 649.]

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's "proms," the annual summer season of classical concerts famous for a patriotic finale attended by thousands, will celebrate Indian music this year with the first "Bollywood Prom."
Indian music star and talent show host Shaan will be the master of ceremonies for the August 16 event at the Royal Albert Hall, where the main prom concerts are staged, according to the BBC which organizes and supports the proms.
It will follow a day of performances reflecting India's vocal styles including traditional khyal singing and folk music from Rajasthan, Gujarat and Kerala.
"On August 16 the proms presents proof not only that India's ancient musical traditions are thriving today, but also that the country has produced a vibrant and equally authentic culture of contemporary vocal music and dance," the BBC said.
The publicly funded broadcaster, criticized by a government minister last year for failing to reflect Britain's cultural diversity in its proms programing, said this year's event running from July 17 to September 12 would be the biggest ever.
One hundred concerts are planned, including 76 at the Royal Albert Hall, showcasing everything from music from the court of Henry VIII to well-known film musicals.
Orchestras from across Britain and from cities including Amsterdam, Budapest, Dresden, Leipzig, Lyons, Vienna and Zurich will perform, as will famous musicians like Chinese pianist Lang Lang and conductors Daniel Barenboim and Valery Gergiev.
There is also a proms debut for the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, which on its website says that "all genres of music are available for reinterpretation, as long as they are played on the Ukulele."
On the Last Night of the Proms, when hundreds of concertgoers wave flags to patriotic songs including "Land of Hope and Glory" and "Rule Britannia," several anniversaries will be marked.
Joseph Haydn, who died 200 years ago, George Frideric Handel, who died 250 years ago and Henry Purcell, who was born 350 years ago, are all honored.

Destination: Iceland
New Music: Sigur Rós' 'Voltari'
by Jim Benning | 05.30.12 | 10:51 AM ET
The Icelandic band, whose ambient, ethereal sound evokes the cool, steaming landscape of its native country, has released a new album, Valtari.
Most reviews find the album to be a lot like the band's other stuff. As the Washington Post put it: "Ultimately the band's commitment to pleasant but forgettable ambient soundscapes represents a sort of Rorschach test for listeners. One person's transcendent experience is another's somnambulant snooze."
Funny the critic used "snooze." For me, Sigur Rós has always made music to wake up to.

The Medieval Icelandic Guide to Marauding
by Eva Holland | 09.22.09 | 12:35 PM ET
The Telegraph highlights the mostly intimidating descriptions of Scotland that pop up in a series of 13th-century Icelandic chronicles. "Icelanders who want to practise robbery are advised to go there," reads one section. "But it may cost them their life." The chronicles, the story explains, "were often used as route guides for raiders, traders, crusaders and explorers, effectively a road map of medieval Europe and the Middle East." Apparently, they've remained accurate enough over the centuries that they're still used by archaeologists today.

|#letslunch January challenge — chili.
My take — Aztec.
Go here for more great chili recipes!
Smithsonian researchers have found the starch grains characteristic of chiles at seven sites ranging from the Bahamas to southern Peru dating as far back as 6000 years. One cave had as many as 7 different kinds of chiles!
Chile peppers are almost always found in the company of corn, according to the researchers, and I have read where some native Americans claim the first chili had no beans, only corn. In Panama, chiles were found with both corn and yams, which to me sounds quite delicious!
Other common foods those ancient chefs worked with ....
Yes, indeed, there were beans. As well as achira, arrowroot, leren, yucca, tomatoes, palm fruit, algarrobo, peanuts, pacay tree fruits and squash. Squash and gourds were often used as containers for holding food, and eaten, too, according to starch grains found on the ancient teeth of the Americas. Perhaps bowls of chili were served in an edible squash bowl?
Meatwise, there were domesticated ducks and turkeys at the time the Spaniards dropped by. It's been noted also that the ancients hunted small game such as lizards, small birds and, uh, insects.
No, there are no insects in my chili. Or lizards.
From a museum trip last year, I know Aztecs scooped out turtle shells to use, and I am sure they would not have wasted that turtle meat with hungry mouths nearby! They did catch and eat fish, too. Given that they would eat insects and blue algae, I really don't think it a stretch to presume they would also eat delicious crab meat, shrimp and lobsters if they lived near the coast.
From the sophistication of their chocolate recipes, I also don't think it's too large a stretch to believe that they had discovered the delicious character of chili long before any cowboy can lay claim to the dish. Wouldn't these people, whose royalty drank their esteemed flavored chocolate drinks from gold cups, be smart enough to put corn, beans, tomatoes and chiles together, along with whatever delicious meat they had available that day?
I think so!
And so, with all the reading I'd done on the ancient chefs of meso America, I went on safari to the local grocery store, tracking down whatever "game" was on hand for a delicious Aztec-inspired chili. At first I had a vague notion of throwing a couple lobster tails into the mix, but unbelievably there were none. Anywhere! All sold out! Folks, is there some new health benefit to lobsters that I've missed? Please tell me if so.
I settled for shrimp and crabs instead. And then I spied a Cornish game hen. A small game bird! I plucked that small game bird from the freezer bushes and took him right home. (After paying, of course.) Along with a nice bottle of Pinot Grigio!
I think the little bird gives this dish a really nice presentation. In fact, the whole thing is a wonderful conversation starter. It was also quite fun to make, and, if I do say so myself, terribly delicious to eat! Fortunately for all our waistlines, this chili is fairly lowfat and healthy. No New Years resolutions need be broken here!
|Ingredients: corn, avocado, dried ancho chile
sweet potato, garlic, Cornish game hen, shrimp
crab, jalapeno, black beans, picante sauce
chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, lemon juice
In a medium-sized stock pot simmer on low heat
4 cups cooked black beans
3 crushed cloves of garlic
2 dried ancho chiles chopped
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp smoked chipotle
2 cups picante sauce
1 skinned Cornish Game Hen
Since the chicken is stewed in flavorful sauces, there is no real loss of flavor or quality in leaving out the skin. In fact the juices will penetrate the meat better without the skin, while reducing the fat in the dish considerably. A win-win!
While the chicken is simmering, boil in a pot of salted water for two or three minutes
1 dungeness crab
The crab meat doesn't have to be done all the way. You just want it to let go of the shell. Let the crab cool, then take all the meat out of the shells and peel a dozen or so shrimp. Add all the shells to the pot of water you just boiled the crab in. Simmer for about one hour on low to create a nice dab of flavorful stock.
In a 425 degree oven roast
2 jalapeno peppers
I laid the husks on top of the corn rather than leaving them in the husks, because I wanted the corn to brown and caramelize a bit. I wrapped the sweet potatoes in foil. I figure our ancient chefs would have cooked these things directly in a wood fire, getting a nice smoky quality to all the ingredients. So when the corn and sweet potatoes were done, I sprinkled them generously with more smoked paprika.
|The finished chili
presented well &
tasted great!
When the seastock is finished, add it to the chili pot along with the peeled shrimps. Cook two minutes, then add the dungeness crab meat and cook until it is heated through.
Taste the chili and adjust seasonings to your liking, adding some salt and more chipotle pepper to your taste. The corn does make this chili taste a bit sweeter than you may be used to. I liked it, but you can add some lemon juice to zing it up a bit if sweet chili isn't your thing. I added about one capful and found that sufficient.
|Each bowl gets some sweet potato,
shrimp, crab meat
and Cornish game hen.
This was just great served with a nice glass of Pinot Grigio! Enjoy!

3.85 out of 5Submitted by Jared in Michigan on 4/4/2017(2007 Ford Explorer Limited)
Nice smooth ride, I've had these on for 4 years and over 60,000 mi, they are great in snow and only slight is wet weather but mostly in the last 15,000 or so. Good value for a tire.
5 out of 5Submitted by Jon in Pennsylvania on 1/22/2015(2002 Chrysler Town & Country EL)
I did a lot of online research for tires. I wanted a very good all-season tire that didn't break the budget. I think I've found them. These tires are excellent in the snow and very quiet in the summer. I would highly recommend them.
2.7 out of 5Submitted by Bill in Pennsylvania on 4/9/2014(2006 Buick Trucks Rendezvous CX)
Worn out after 20,000 miles.
4.85 out of 5Submitted by Jan in Michigan on 12/15/2013(2010 Lincoln MKZ Base)
Needed new tires and these were recommended. They are awesome tires and a very comfortable ride. So far they are doing very well in the snow and we have been having a lot of that lately. I would definitely buy this brand again.
4.3 out of 5Submitted by Anthony in Ohio on 11/4/2013(2008 Chevrolet Impala LS)
Love these tires, would purchase again.
3.65 out of 5Submitted by Brandon in Hawaii on 10/10/2013(1998 Honda Civic EX)
Previously had the Goodyear Integrity on the front of my vehicle, but I had a flat tire and needed to have one replaced. The Goodyear rep working with me did not have the same tire so he suggested to use the Dunlop instead. The difference between the two tires is mostly limited to road noise. The Dunlop is much quieter on the freeways. It also has a better mileage warranty. I've had the tires on my vehicle for a little over 1 year and it is a good all season tire for Hawaii. We do not get snow here but we do get a fair amount of rain. Even in heavy rain conditions, the tires perform well, I could not feel any hydro issues when going through fairly deep water on the freeway.
This would be an excellent everyday tire for most vehicles. If you have a high end vehicle like a Mercedes or Lexus you would be happier with a tire from the Assurance line of Goodyear tires.
4.15 out of 5Submitted by Jeff in Maryland on 10/10/2013(2005 Toyota Corolla LE)
A nice driving and extremely good riding tire. The sidewall styling, low road noise, and resistance to hydroplaning makes this a very excellent choice. Very pleased with my purchase!
3.55 out of 5Submitted by jeff in Connecticut on 10/8/2013(2004 Honda Minivans Odyssey EX)
Just purchased these tires and they handle great in the rain. Too early to tell how they do in the snow. I am hoping they do better overall than the Goodyear Integrity tires that were on the car previously.

Made a few big changes to the project including a pretty big emphasis on geometric and organic shapes and using glue sponges.
I Can tell you something about the artist Henri Matisse.
I Can cut organic and geometric shapes.
I Can identify and sort organic and geometric shapes.
Day 1:
Introduced Matisse with this great video!
Then we looked at his artwork and discovered that he used a lot of shapes and dived into organic vs geometric. After we talked about organic and geometric shapes, they paired up with dry erase boards and I put different shapes up on the SMART board and they had to identify them as organic or geometric. After a few rounds of that, I showed them my example and told them to start cutting (without much instruction) and gave them a large envelope to keep pieces in.
Day 2:
Reviewed organic and geometric shapes using Plickers (USE IT, you only need 1 device!). As a review of Matisse they filled out their artist book pages,which have gotten a little revamp from last year. I'll update on those soon. After their page was filled out I showed them my demo of cutting a variety of shapes and sizes in different ways to get their wheels turning. They spent the rest of the time cutting away and adding to what they already had cut last time with reminders to be cutting both organic and geometric.
Day 3:
Reviewed the shapes with a little shape sorting as a whole class using laminated shapes. Then they heard a Matisse book that I highly reccommend. Henri's Scissors by Jeanette Winter, found here on Amazon.
The second big change for the project was using glue sponges to assemble their artworks. It made a HUGE difference in craftsmanship and glue amounts...i'll NEVER go back for this project. Not everyone finished gluing so I had them toss out or take with their extra paper that they weren't using on their projects and only had them put the pieces they were using on their projects back into their envelopes.
Day 4:
Students who didn't finish last time had time to finish and we wrapped up by filling out part 2 of our artist book page and filling out a rubric for the project that included a shape assessment. Check it out, let me know what you think. My elementary art team has been working super hard on developing rubrics this year...
Love love love love LOVE this project. The color! The shapes! The movement! They just can't go wrong...

The Danish government simply does not want to know, do they?
Even less to do anything about it, much beyond telling everyone to wash their hands and boots.
Mind you, your next door neighbour, Norway, on your tail, is not exactly a comfortable place to be, especially with the Danish Ombudsman still in action trying to force disclosure, customers wary, the unions moving to protect their workers and insurance companies and lawyers waiting in the wings.
It is a disaster gathering pace.
Still, two percent is a lot better than Britain's nothing and the Danes are, at least, protecting their hospitals.
The Engineer article in full is here. It's well worth reading their previous lively, educated and competent coverage too.
Where is Britain's equivalent? Hiding? whilst waiting for a gong for not rocking the boat?
Dream on! The future belongs to people protecting Britain's children from despicable behavior.
Only two percent of pig herds are checked for MRSA
A study of the resistant bacteria pigs in Denmark will only include a little over two percent of the country's pig farms, and it is actually less than in the previous screening. The focus now is to limit the infection, it said.
By Thomas Djursing July 15, 2014 at. 05:42
The extent of infection with MRSA in pig houses are only based on samples from a little over two percent of all 9000 pig herds in Denmark. This was stated by Minister for Food, Dan Jørgensen (S) and Food Administration...

Is the vehicle service provider you're trusting to keep your fleet on the road "doing the right thing?"
Are you constantly asking yourself questions like "the truck was just there for service, why didn't they see the oil change was due?"
Or "how can the brakes be grinding two weeks after the van was inspected?"
How about "we just spent a ton of money on that vehicle and NOW the check engine light is on?"
"I can't believe we have to tie up that vehicle again!"
We understand that you may currently be doing business with another facility and our sincere hope is that you are happy with their service(s). However, if for any reason they don't fulfill your needs or expectations or if you simply are in need of a second vendor, please don't hesitate to give us a call.
Here are some reasons why many large national companies as well as small to mid size local businesses rely on Lee Myles of Lindenhurst:
Concierge service - free pick up and delivery in our local market area eliminating wasted manpower "jockeying" your fleet around when servicing is necessary.

This gives you the ability to plan when to have the work performed, matching your company's budget and work schedule.
New York State Inspection Station - We can inspect any passenger vehicle as well as small to mid-size vans & trucks. Our facility is open from 8:00AM to 5:30PM Monday thru Friday and 8:00AM to 1:00PM on Saturdays.
