To the Celestiall, my soules Idoll, the most beautifiedOphelia.
That's an ill phrase, a vile phrase, beautified is a vile phrase: but
you shall heare, thus in her excellent white bosome, These, &c.
O deareOpheliaI am ill at these numbers, I have not art to
reckon my groanes; but that I love thee best, O most best beleeve
it: Adieu. Thine evermore most deare Lady, whilest this
machine is to him,Hamlet.
For if the Sunne breed maggots in a dead dogge, being a
good kissing carrion. Have you a daughter?
How say you by that? still harping on my daughter, yet he
knew me not at first, a said I was a fish‐monger, a is far gone; and
truly in my youth I suffered much extremity for love, very neare
this: Ile speake to him againe. What doe you read my Lord?
Slanders sir: for the Satyricall Rogue saies here, that old
men have gray beards, that their faces are wrinkled, their eyes
purging thicke Amber, and Plum‐tree Gum, and that they have a
plentifull lacke of wit, together with most weake hams, all which
sir though I most powerfully and potently beleeve, yet I hold it
not honestie to have it thus set downe, for your selfe sir shall grow
old, as I am, if like a crab you could goe backward.
Though this be madnesse, yet there is method in't, will
you walke out of the aire my Lord?
Indeed that's out of the aire; how pregnant sometimes
his replyes are? a happines that often madnes hits on, which rea
son and sanctitie could not so happily be delivered of. I will leave
him and my daughter. My Lord I will take my leave of you.
You cannot take from me any thing that I will not more
willingly part withall, except my life, except my life, except my
In the secret parts of fortune, oh most true, she is a strum
pet. What newes?
Begger that I am, I am even poore in thanks, but I thank
you, and sure deare friends my thanks are too deare a halfe‐peny:
were you not sent for? is it your owne inclining? is it a free visita
tion? come, come, deale justly with me, come, come, nay speake.
Any thing, but to'th purpose, you were sent for, and there
is a kind of confession in your lookes, which your modesties have
not craft enough to colour: I know the good King and Queene
have sent for you.
That you must teach me: but let me conjure you by the
rights of our fellowships, by the consonancy of our youth, by the
obligation of our ever preserved love, and by what more deare a
better proposer can charge you withall, bee even and direct with
me whether you were sent for or no.
I will tell you why, so shall my anticipation prevent your
discovery, and your secrecy to the King and Queen moult no fea
To thinke my Lord, if you delight not in man, what Lenten
entertainment the Plaiers shall receive from you, we coated them
on the way, and hither are they comming to offer you service.
He that playes the King shall be welcome, his Majestie
shall have tribute of mee, the adventurous Knight shall use his
foyle and target, the lover shall not sigh gratis, the humorous man
shall end his part in peace, and the Lady shall say her mind freely,
or the blanke verse shall halt for't. What players are they?
Even those you were wont to take such delight in, the Tra
gedians of the City.
How chances it they travell? their residence both in re
putation and profit was better both wayes.
I thinke their inhibition comes by the meanes of the late
Doe they hold the same estimation they did when I was
in the City? are they so followed?
It is not very strange; for my uncle is King of Denmark,
and those that would make mouthes at him while my father lived,
give twenty, forty, fifty, a hundred duckets a peece for his picture
in little: s'blood there is something in this more than naturall, if
Philosophy could finde it out.
Gentlemen you are welcome to Elsenour, your hands:
come t hen, th'appurtenance of welcome is fashion and ceremo
ny, let me comply with you in this garbe, lest my extent to the
Plaiers, which I tell you must shew fairly outwards, should more
appeare like entertainment than yours; you are welcome: but
my Uncle‐father and Aunt‐mother are deceived.
I am but mad North North‐west, when the wind is Sou
therly I know a hawke from a hand‐saw.
Harke you Guyldenstern, and you too, at each eare a hea
rer, that great baby as you see is not yet out of his swadling clouts.
Happely he is the second time come to them, for they say
an old man is twice a child.
I will prophecie that he comes to tell me of the Players,
marke it: You say right sir, a Munday morning 'twas then indeed.
The best Actors in the world, either for Tragedy, Comedy,
History, Pastorall, Pastorall‐Comicall, Historical‐Pastorall scene
indevidable, or Poem unlimited: Seneca cannot bee too heavie,
nor Plautus too light for the law of writ and the liberty; these are
the onely men.
Why one faire daughter and no more, the which hee lo
ved passing well.
Why as by lot God wot, and then you know it came to
passe, as most like it was: the first row of the pans chanson will
You are welcome masters, welcome all, I am glad to see
thee well, welcome good friends; oh old friend! why thy face is
valanc'd since I saw thee last, com'st thou to beard mee in Den
marke? what my young Lady and Mistresse! my Lady your Ladi
ship is neerer to heaven than when I saw you last by the altitude
of a chopine, pray God your voice, like a peece of uncurrant gold,
be not crackt within the ring: masters you are all welcome, wee'll
e'en to't like friendly Faukners, flye at any thing wee see, wee'll
have a speech strait, come give us a taste of your quality, come a
passionate speech.
I heard thee speake me a speech once, but it was never a
cted, or if it was, not above once, for the play I remember pleased
not the million, 'twas caviary to the generall, but it was as I recei
ved it and others, whose judgements in such matters cried in the
top of mine, an excellent play, well digested in the scenes, set
downe with as much modesty as cunning. I remember one said
there were no sallets in the lines to make the matter savoury, nor
no matter in the phrase that might indite the author of affection,
but call'd it an honest method, as wholesome as sweet, and by very
much more handsome than fine; one speech in't I chiefly loved,
'twas Æneas talke to Dido, and thereabout of it especially when
he speakes of Priams slaughter, if it live in your memory begin at
this line, let me see, let me see, the rugged Pyrrhus like th'ircanian
Beast, 'tis not it begins with Pyrrhus. The rugged Pyrrhus, hee
whose sable armes,
It shall to the Barbers with your beard: prethee say on, he's
for a jig, or a tale of bawdry, or he sleeps; say on, come to Hecuba.
Looke where he has not turned his colour, and has teares
in's eyes: prethee no more.
'Tis well, Ile have thee speake out the rest of this soone.
Good my Lord doe you see the Players well bestowed, doe you
heare, let them be well used, for they are the abstract and briefe
Chronicles of the time; after your death you were better have a
bad Epitaph, than their ill report while you live.
Gods bodkin man much better, use every man after his
desert, and who shall scape whipping? use them after your owne
honour and dignity, the lesse they deserve the more merit is in
your bounty: Take them in.
Follow him friends, wee'll heare a play to morrow; doest
thou heare me old friend, can you play the murder of Gonzago?
Wee'll hav't to morrow night: you could for need study
a speech of some dosen lines, or sixteene lines, which I would set
downe and insert in't, could you not?
Very well: follow that Lord, and looke you mocke him
not. My good friends, Ile leave you till night, you are welcome
to Elsenour.
That if you bee honeft and faire, you should admit no
discourse to your beauty.
I truly, for the power of beautie will sooner transforme
honestie from what it is to a baud, than the force of honestie can
translate beauty to his likenesse: this was sometime a Paradoxe,
but now the time gives it proofe. I did love you once.
You should not have beleev'd mee, for vertue cannot so
evacuate our old stocke but we shall rellish of it: I loved you not.
Get thee a Nunry, why wouldst thou be a breeder of sin
ners? I am my selfe indifferent honest, but yet I could accuse me
of such things, that it were better my mother had not born me: I
am very proud, revengefull, ambitious, with more offences at my
beck than I have thoughts to put them in, imagination to give thē
shape, or time to act them in: what should such fellowes as I doe
If thou dost marry, Ile give thee this plague for thy dow
ry, be thou as chaste as Ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not escape
calumny, get thee to a Nunry, farewell. Or if thou wilt needs mar
ry, marrie a foole, for wisemen know well enough what monsters
you make of them: to a Nunry, goe, and quickly too, farewell.
I have heard of your paintings well enough: God hath gi
ven you one face, and you make your selves another, gig and am
ble, and you list you nickname Gods creatures, and make your
wantonnesse ignorance; go too, Ile no more on't, it hath made me
mad: I say we will have no moe marriages, those that are married
already all but one shall live, the rest shall keepe as they are: to a
Nunrie goe.
Speake the speech I pray you as I pronounc'd it to you,
trippingly on the tongue; but if you mouth it, as many of our
Players do, I had as lieve the Towne‐crier spoke my lines: nor do
not saw the aire too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently;
for in the very torrent tempest, and, as I may say, whirle‐wind of
your passion you must acquire and beget a temperance that may
give it smoothnesse: O it offends mee to the soule to heare a ro
bustious Perwig‐pated fellow teare a passion to totters, to very
rags, to spleet the eares of the ground‐lings, who for the most part
are capable of nothing but inexplicable dumbe shewes and noise:
I would have such a fellow whipt for ore‐doing Termagant, it out
Herods Herod, pray you avoid it.
Be not too tame neither, but let your own discretion be
your tutor; sute the action to the word, the word to the action,
with this speciall observance, that you ore‐step not the modestie
of Nature: For any thing so ore‐done is from the purpose of play
ing, whose end both at first, and now, was and is, to hold as 'twere
the Mirrour up to nature, to shew vertue her feature, scorne her
owne image, and the very age and body of the time his forme and
pressure: now this over‐done, or come tardy of, though it makes
the unskilfull laugh, cannot but make the judicious grieve; the
censure of which one must in your allowance ore‐weigh a whole
Theater of others. O there be Players that I have seene play, and
heard others praise, and that highly, not to speak it profanely, that
neither having the accent of Christians, nor the gate of Christian,
Pagan, nor man, have so strutted and bellowed, that I have thought
some of Natures Journy‐men had made men, and not made them
well, they imitated humanity so abominably.
O reforme it altogether: and let those that play your
Clownes speake no more than is set downe for them, for there be
of them that will themselves laugh, to set on some quantitie of
barren spectators to laugh too, though in the meane time some
necessary question of the Play be then to be considered: that's vil
lanous, and shewes a most pitifull ambition in the Foole that u
ses it: goe, make you ready. How now my Lord? will the King
heare this piece of worke?
O God! your onely Jig‐maker, what should a man doe
but be merry: for looke you how cheerfully my mother lookes,
and my father died within's two houres.
So long! nay then let the divell weare black, for Ile have
a sute of sables: O heavens! dye two months agoe, and not for
gotten yet! then there's hope a great mans memory may out‐live
his life halfe a yeere; but ber Lady a must build Churches then, or
else shall a suffer not thinking on, with the Hobby‐horse, whose E
pitaph is, for O, for O, the Hobby‐horse is forgot.
The Mouse‐trap; marry how? tropically. This play is the
image of a murther done in Vienna, Gonzago is the Dukes name,
his wife Baptista, you shall see anon, 'tis a knavish piece of work,
but what of that? your Majestie and we shall have free soules, it
touches us not; let the galled jade winch, our withers are un
wrung. This is one Lucianus Nephew to the King.
So you mistake your husbands. Begin murtherer, leave
thy damnable faces and begin, come, the croking raven doth bel
low for revenge.
A poisons him i'th garden for his estate, his name's Gonza
go, the story is extant, and written in very choice Italian: you shall
see anon how the murtherer gets the love of Gonzagoes wife.
Thus runs the world away. Would not this sir, and a forrest of fea
thers, if the rest of my fortunes turn Turk with me, with provincial
Roses on my raz'd shooes, get me a fellowship in a city of plaiers?
Your wisedome should shew it selfe more richer to sig
nifie this to the Doctor; for for mee to put him to his purgation,
would perhaps plunge him into more choler.
Nay good my Lord, this courtesie is not of the right breed,
if it shall please you to make mee a wholsome answer, I will doe
your mothers commandement, if not, your pardon and my re
turne shall be the end of the businesse.
Make you a wholsome answer, my wit's diseas'd, but sir, such
answer as I can make you shall command, or rather as you say, my
mother; therefore no more, but to the matter, my mother you say.
Good my Lord what is your cause of distemper? you doe
surely barre the doore upon your owne liberty, if you deny your
griefes to your friend.
I sir, but while the grasse growes; the proverbe is some
thing musty: oh the Recorders, let me see one, to withdraw with
you; why doe you goe about to recover the wind of me, as if you
would drive me into a toile?
It is as easie as lying; govern these ventages with your fin
gers and the thumbe, give it breath with your mouth, and it will
discourse most eloquent musick: look you, these are the stops.
Why look you now how unworthy a thing you make of
me, you would play upon me, you would seeme to know my stops,
you would plucke out the heart of my mysterie, you would sound
mee from my lowest note to my compasse, and there is much mu
sicke, excellent voice in this little organ, yet cannot you make it
speake, s'bloud do you think I am easier to be plaid on than a pipe?
Call me what instrument you will, though you fret me not, you
cannot play upon me. God blesse you sir.
That I can keepe your counsell and not mine owne; be
sides, to bee demanded of a spunge, what replication should bee
made by the sonne of a King?
I sir, that sokes up the Kings countenance, his rewards, his
authorities: but such Officers doe the King best service in the end,
he keeps them like an apple in the corner of his jaw, first mouth'd
to be last swallowed; when he needs what you have gleaned, it is
but squeesing you, and spunge you shall be dry againe.
Not where he eats, but where he is eaten, a certain convo
cation of politick worms are een at him: your worme is your only
Emperour for diet. We fat all creatures else to fat us, and wee fat
our selves for maggots; your fat King and your lean beggar is but
variable service, two dishes but to one table, that's the end.
In heaven, send thither to see, if your messenger find him
not there, seeke him i'th other place your selfe: but indeed if you
find him not within this moneth, you shall nose him as you go up
the staires into the Lobby.
Well, good dild you, they say the Owle was a Bakers
daughter: Lord, we know what wee are, but know not what wee
may be. God be at your table.
I hope all will be well, we must be patient: but I cannot
chuse but weep to think they would lay him i'th cold ground; my
brother shall know of it, & so I thank you for your good counsell.
There's Fennill for you, and Columbines, there's Rew for
you, and here's some for mee, wee may call it herbe of Grace a
Sundayes, you may weare your Rew with a difference; there's a
Dasie: I would give you some Violets, but they witherd all when
my father died; they say a made a good end.
A shall sir an't please him. There's a letter for you sir, it
came from the Embassadour that was bound for England, if your
name be Horatio, as I am let to know it is.
Horatio, when thou shalt have over‐look't this, give these
fellowes some meanes to the King, they have Letters for him. Ere
So that thou knowest thine,
High and mighty, you shall know I am set naked on your King
dome: to morrow shall I beg leave to see your Kingly eyes, when
I shall (first asking you pardon) thereunto recount the occasion of
my sudden returne.
Is she to be buried in Christian buriall, when she wilful
ly seekes her owne salvation?
I tell thee shee is, therefore make her grave straight, the
Crowner hath sate on her, and finds it Christian buriall.
How can that be, unlesse he drown'd her selfe in her own
Why 'tis found so.
It must be so offended, it cannot be else; for here lies the
point, if I drowne my selfe wittingly it argues an act, and an act
hath three branches, it is to act, to doe, to performe, or all; shee
drown'd her selfe wittingly.
Nay but heare you goodman delver.
Give me leave, here lyes the water, good, here stands the
man, good, if the man goe to this water and drowne himselfe, it is
will he nill he; he goes, marke you that: but if the water come to
him and drowne him, he drownes not himselfe; argall hee that is
not guilty of his owne death shortens not his owne life.
But is this law?
I marry is't, Crowners quest law.
Will you ha the truth ant't, if this had not been a Gentle
woman she should have bin buried out a Christian buriall.
Why there thou saist, and the more pitty that great folke
should have countenance in this world to drowne or hang them
selves, more than their even Christen: Come my spade, there is no
ancient Gentlemen but Gardeners, Ditchers, and Grave‐makers,
they hold up Adams profession.
Was he a Gentleman?
A was the first that ever bore armes.
Ile put another question to thee, if thou answerest mee not to the
purpose, confesse thy selfe.
Goe to.
What is hee that builds stronger than either the Mason,
the Shipwright, or the Carpenter?
The gallowes‐maker, for that out‐lives a thousand tenants.
I like thy wit well in good faith, the gallowes does well, but
how does it well? it does well to those that do ill, now thou doest
ill to say the gallowes is built ftronger than the Church, argall the
gallowes may doe well to thee. To't againe, come.
Who builds stronger than a Mason, a Shipwright, or a
I, tell me that and unyoke.
Marry now I can tell.
Masse I cannot tell.
Cudgel thy brains no more about it, for your dull asse wil
not mend his pace with beating, & when you are askt this questiō
next, say a grave‐maker, the houses he makes last till Doomesday.
Goe get thee in, and fetch me a soope of liquor.
Has this fellow no feeling of his businesse? a sings in
Custome hath made it in him a property of easinesse.
'Tis een so, the hand of little emploiment hath the daintier (sense.
That skull had a tongue in it, and could sing once, how the
knave jowles it to the ground, as if 'twere Cains jaw‐bone, that
did the first murther: this might be the pate of a Polititian which
this asse now ore‐reaches, one that would circumvent God, might
it not?
It might my Lord.
Or of a Courtier, which could say, Good morrow my
Lord, how doest thou sweet Lord? This might be my Lord such
a one, that praised my Lord such a ones horse when a meant to
beg it, might it not?
I my Lord.
Why een so, and now my Lady worms Choples, and knockt
about the mazer with a Sextens spade; here's fine revolution and
we had the tricke to see't, did these bones cost no more the bree
ding but to play at loggits with them? mine ake to think on't.
There's another, why may not that be the skull of a Lawier?
where be his quiddities now, his quillities, his cases, his tenures,
and his tricks? why does he suffer this mad knave now to knocke
him about the sconce with a dirty shovell, and will not tell him of
his actions of battery? hum: this fellow might be in's time a great
buyer of land, with his statutes, his recognisances, his fines, his
double vouchers, his recoveries, to have his fine pate full of fine
dirt: will vouchers vouch him no more of his purchases and dou
bles, than the length and bredth of a paire of Indentures? the ve
ry conveiances of his land will scarcely lye in this boxe, and must
th'inheritor himselfe have no more? ha?
Not a jot more my Lord.
Is not parchment made of sheep‐skins?
I my Lord, and of calve‐skins too.
They are sheep and calves which seeke out assurance in
that. I will speake to this fellow: Whose grave's this sirrah?
Mine sir, or a pit of clay for to be made.
I thinke it's thine indeed, for thou lyest in't.
You lye out on't sir, and therefore 'tis not yours: for my
part I doe not lye in't, yet it is mine.
Thou dost lye in't, to be in't and say it is thine, 'tis for the
dead, not for the quicke, therefore thou lyest.
'Tis a quicke lye sir, 'twill againe from me to you.
What man doest thou digge it for?
For no man sir.
What woman then?
For none neither.
Who is to be buried in't?
One that was a woman sir, but rest her soule, shee's dead.
How absolute the knave is, we must speake by the card, or
equivocation will undo us. By the Lord Horatio this 3. yeeres I
have took note of it, the age is grown so picked, that the toe of the
pesant comes so neere the heele of the Courtier, he galls his kibe.
How long hast thou been a Grave‐maker?
Of the dayes i'th yeare I came to't that day that our last
King Hamlet overcame Fortinbrasse.
How long is that since?
Cannot you tell that? every foole can tell that; it was that
very day that young Hamlet was borne, hee that is mad and sent
into England.
I marry, why was he sent into England?
Why? because a was mad, a shall recover his wits there,
or if a doe not 'tis no great matter there.
'Twill not be seen in him there, there are men as mad as he.
How came he mad?
Very ftrangely they say.
How strangely?
Faith een with losing his wits.
Upon what ground?
Why here in Denmarke: I have bin Sexton here man
and boy thirty yeeres.
How long will a man lye i'th earth ere he rot?
Faith if a be not rotten before he dye, as wee have many
pocky coarses that will scarce hold the laying in, a will last you
some eight yeere, or nine yeere; a Tanner will last you nine yeere.
Why he more than another?
Why sir his hide is so tan'd with his trade, that a will keep
out water a great while, and your water is a sore decayer of your
whorson dead body: here's a skull now hath lyen you i'th earth (23. yeares.
Whose was it?
A whorson mad fellows it was, whose do you think it was?
Nay I know not.
A pestilence on him for a mad rogue, a pour'd a flaggon of
Rhenish on my head once; this same skull sir, was sir Yorickes
skull the Kings Jester.
Een that.
Alas poor Yoricke, I knew him Horatio, a fellow of infinite
jest, of most excellent fancy, he hath bore me on his backe a thou
sand times, and now how abhorred in my imagination it is? my
gorge rises at it. Here hung those lips that I have kist I know not
how oft: where bee your jibes now, your gamboles, your songs,
your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a
Now get you to my Ladies table, and tell her, let her paint an
inch thick, to this favour she must come; make her laugh at that.
Prethee Horatio tell me one thing.
What's that my Lord?
Dost thou think Alexander lookt a this fashion i'th earth?
Een so.
And smelt so? pah.
Een so my Lord.
To what base uses we may returne Horatio! Why may
not imagination trace the noble dust of Alexander till a finde it
stopping a bung‐hole.
'Twere to consider too curiously to consider so.
No faith not a jot, but to follow him thither with modesty
enough, and likelihood to lead it. Alexander died, Alexander was
buried, Alexander returneth to dust, the dust is earth, of earth we
make lome, & why of that lome whereto he was converted might
they not stop a Beere‐barrell?
Thy state is the more gracious, for 'tis a vice to know
him; he hath much land and fertill, let a beast be Lord of beasts,
and his crib shall stand at the Kings messe; 'tis a chough, but as I
say, spacious in the possession of dirt.
Exceedingly my Lord, it is very soultry, as 'twere I can
not tell how: my Lord, his Majesty bad me signifie unto you, that
a has laid a great wager on your head, sir this is the matter.
Nay good my Lord, for my ease in good faith. Sir here is
newly come to Court Laertes, beleeve mee an absolute Gentle
man, full of most excellent differences, of very soft society, and
great shewing: indeed, to speake feelingly of him, he is the Card
or Kalendar of Gentry, for you shall finde in him the continent of
what part a Gentleman would see.
Sir, his definement suffers no perdition in you, though I
know to divide him inventorially, would dizzie th'arithmetick of
memory, and yet but raw neither in respect of his quicke saile;
but in the verity of extolment, I take him to be soule of a great ar
ticle, and his infusion of such dearth and rarenesse, as to make true
diction of him, his semblable is his mirrour, and who else would
trace him, his umbrage, nothing more.
The King sir hath wager'd with him sixe Barbery horses,
against the which he has impawn'd as I take it six French Rapiers
and Poniards, with their assignes, as girdle, hanger, and so: three
of the carriages in faith are very deare to fancy, very responsive to
the hilts, most delicate carriages, and of very liberall conceit.
The phrase would be more german to the matter if wee
could carry a cannon by our sides, I would it might be hangers till
then: but on, sixe Barbary horses against sixe French swords, their
assignes, and three liberall conceited carriages, that's the French
bet against the Danish, why is this all you call it?
The King sir, hath laid sir, that in a dozen passes betweene
your selfe and him he shall not exceed you three hits, he hath laid
on twelve for nine, and it would come to immediate triall, if your
Lordship would vouchsafe the answer.
Sir I will walke here in the hall, if it please his Majestie,
it is the breathing time of day with me, let the foiles be brought,
the Gentleman willing, and the King hold his purpose, I will win
for him and I can; if not, I will gaine nothing but my shame and
the odde hits.
A did so sir with his dugge before a suckt it; thus has he
& many more of the same breed that I know, the drossie age dotes
on, onely got the tune of the time, and out of an habit of incoun
ter, a kinde of misty collection, which carries them through and
through the most profane and trennowned opinions; and doe but
blow them to their triall, the bubbles are out.
My Lord, his Majestie commended him to you by young
Ostricke, who brings back to him that you attend him in the hall,
he sends to know if your pleasure hold to play with Laertes, or that
you will take longer time?
I am constant to my purposes, they follow the Kings
pleasure; if his fitnesse speaks, mine is ready, now or whensoever,
provided I be so able as now.
I doe not thinke so, since he went into France I have bin
in continuall practice; I shall win at the oddes: thou wouldst not
think how ill all's here about my heart, but it is no matter.
Not a whit, we defie Augury, there is a speciall providence
in the fall of a Sparrow: if it be, 'tis not to come, if it bee not to
come, it will be now, if it be not now, yet it will come, the readi
nesse is all, since no man of ought he leaves knowes what is't to

Cauliflower Purée:
1 head cheddar cauliflower,
also known as orange cauliflower
1 1/2 quarts whole milk
2 shallots
2 fresh garlic cloves, smashed
1 teaspoon salt
4 tabelspoons horseradish, prepared
1 cup Fiscalini cheddar,
or any aged cheddar, grated
Cabernet Sauce:
1/2 cup shallots, diced
Olive oil
2 cups red wine
2 fresh garlic cloves
1 bay leaf
4 sprigs thyme
5 peppercorns, whole
1 pint veal stock reduction
Grilled Beef Tenderloin:
1 1/4 pounds beef tenderloin,
prime or choice grade
Kosher salt, to taste
Fresh cracked pepper, to taste
Herb butter, optional
Baby Carrots & Savoy Spinach:
1 dozen baby carrots,
assorted colors if available
1 cup sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons shallots, diced
2 bunches savoy spinach
1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
Salt, to taste
Purée Preparation:
Remove the green leaves from the cheddar cauliflower and chop roughly into medium-sized pieces. You can use most of the stem. Place into a stainless steel pot and cover with whole milk. Add two sliced shallots, two smashed garlic cloves and a teaspoon of salt. Simmer on low heat for about an hour or until the cauliflower has just become very tender and some of the milk has reduced. Set aside. When the cauliflower is tender, strain the liquid and purée in a Cuisinart food processor. Add in the salt and prepared horseradish.
Cabernet Sauce Preparation:
Sweat the half-cup of diced shallots in olive oil until tender. Add the two cups of red wine, two whole garlic cloves, a bay leaf, thyme sprigs and peppercorns. Reduce the mixture by one-third and add the veal reduction stock. You can buy quality veal or beef stock from the freezer section at a specialty grocery store. You can also make your own stock; it will take a full day. Reduce wine and stock by half and strain through a fine mesh strainer. Place into a smaller saucepan and reduce until sauce consistency yields about a half-cup. Set aside.
Begin baby carrot prep by blanching the carrots in salted boiling water. Cook until tender. You may also steam or glaze if familiar with these methods.
Tenderloin Preparation:
I use our gas grill to sear the tenderloin for about five minutes. I then finish it in a slow oven to ensure consistent temperature. If you have wood, or a charcoal grill, it will add nice savory flavor to the tenderloin. I recommend whole tenderloin, as opposed to pre-portioned meat. Season the tenderloin with olive oil, kosher salt, and fresh cracked pepper. Preheat the oven to 300° F. Sear beef on grill then place on a roasting rack. Top with herb butter, if desired. Place in the oven for 10-20 minutes or until thermometer reads between 120-130° F for medium-rare. Let the meat rest at least five minutes.
Baby Carrots & Spinach Preparation:
Start a sauté pan on medium heat and sweat two tablespoons of diced shallots in olive oil until tender. Add your washed spinach and season with a pinch of salt. Finish with a teaspoon of sherry vinegar.
Drizzle the baby carrots with olive oil and add a pinch of salt. Reheat on a baking dish in a 350° F oven for five minutes.
Place cauliflower purée in a small pot and heat gently, stirring often. When warm, add grated cheddar cheese. Whisk to thoroughly incorporate the cheese.
To serve:
Lay warm plates out on counter and place a scoop of cauliflower purée in the center of the plate. To avoid excess liquid, use tongs to place the sautéed spinach on the plate. Alternatively, you can drain the spinach beforehand. Slice four equal portions of the beef tenderloin and place on top of the spinach. Garnish with three carrots and drizzle a tablespoon or so of the Cabernet sauce around each plate. Bon Appétit. Enjoy with a glass of Nickel & Nickel Martin Stelling Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.

In Western music, we are first guided by Pythagoras (fl 582-500 BC) and his writings on the physics, scales, modes, and acoustics of music.
Plato (427-347) wrote at length, especially in the Republic and theTimaeus, about the ethical place and force of music. The Greeks had notation and used instruments and singers in their plays and at numerous ceremonial functions, but today their notation is largely lost and indecipherable. Aristotle (384-322) also wrote about music in hisPolitics, and stressed its importance in the moral education of the young and in the governance of society. (Aristotle was, of course, tutor to Alexander the Great.) Aristoxenus (354-? BC) left the most complete of Greek treatises on music: Harmonic Elements and Elements of Rhythmics. These works define and predict much of the earliest workings of Western music.
In this era we find the earliest forms of plainchant, their widespread use in what would become the codified Mass of the Church, a continuing reliance on vocal music in both spiritual and secular functions, and the incorporation into religious music of that which originated in Byzantine and Jewish societies. As a general rule, instrumental music (except for the organ in certain communities) was banned in the Church.
Secular music, in the form of dance, folk melody, and a kind of roving sung journalism, spread widely across Europe. We find the rise of the Goliards, Jongleurs, and Minstrels. Carl Orff's famous twentieth century work, Carmina Burana, is taken from Goliard songs of this time. However, Church music was supreme at all levels. This music was monophonic (one-voiced), had a narrow range rarely greater than a fifth, was built on two Church modes (Authentic and Plagal), and employed little harmony in the modern sense. Rhythms derived from text. The practice of singing organum (parallel fourths and fifths) arose in the ninth century, and would form the basis for later richness in our harmony. Sacred plainsong (popularly known as chant) became compiled and codified, and arose from five vital traditions: the Byzantine, Ambrosian, Gallic, Mozarabic and -- by order of Pope Gregory (540-604) -- what came to be known as Gregorian.
The writers Boethius (480-524), Odo of Cluny (d 942) and, most importantly, Guido d'Arezzo (990-1050) are the leading sources for our knowledge of this period. Guido is the first to enunciate a system for notation and its teaching, and for practical instruction in singing. The Winchester Tropes of 1073 AD is the only complete collection of original manuscripts from this period.
In this period we now begin to hear music that is almost wholly recognizable to modern ears. Music is written by named composers (with very few exceptions it was previously anonymous), and because of this alone sound begins to assert individual, regional, and proto-national identity. Such composers as Perotin (fl 1170), Leonin (fl 1175) and Machaut (1300-1377) lead the way in the increasing assertion of the composer's imagination. This was also the time of St Francis of Assisi, Thomas Aquinas, Dante, Petrarch, Boccacio, and Chaucer, and an increasing reliance on non-liturgical text. In 1200, the peak of what was later termed the Ars Antiqua was scaled; a century later, this compositional style was replaced by the Ars Nova. In this whole period, often described in the architectural term Gothic, we find an increasing interest in the forms and architecture of music, in sheer monumentalism of conception, and the onset of struggles between the imperatives of Church and State.
In the Ars Antiqua, we find polyphony -- many-voiced music. In Ars Nova comes the acceptance of duple rhythms, and of thirds and sixths as consonances. Text was now open to poetic and syllabic consideration, canon (precursor to fugue) became a popular organizing principle, and melodies now take on a larger ambit. Modes have expanded to include rhythm itself, and in all of this a greater musical vocabulary is established. Chromaticism first arose in a practice called musica ficta. No less importantly, early string, reed, and brass instruments became widely accepted within and without the Church. Lutes, viols, and harps were especially popular. Alas, tuning systems were numerous, often regional, and clumsy.
Finally, and with greatest promise for the music of our own time, the first printed forms of notation arose. From the thirteenth to the sixteenth centuries, this mensural notation was the first pan-Euro system that actually worked. It led to the widespread success of the motet, a vocal form supremely suited to both secular and religious music. The first madrigals also appear in Italy, and would dominate the Renaissance. Numerous treatises of the era have survived, most notably those of Franco of Cologne (fl 1250-1280) and Philippe de Vitry (1291-1361).
It goes without saying that these two centuries saw an explosion of energy, invention, creation and experiment in every field of music. The time of the Medici, Botticelli, Leonardo, Gutenberg, Copernicus, Michelangelo, Martin Luther, Columbus, and Shakespeare was matched in music by the astonishing creativity of such composers as Dufay (1400-1474), Ockeghem (1420-1496), des Prez (1450-1521), Gabrieli (1520-1586), Palestrina (1525-1594), di Lasso (1532-1590), Byrd (1543-1623), and Gesualdo (1560-1613). These musicians comprise a startling galaxy of supernovas, and laid the foundation for everything in the common practice of music itself.
Lutheranism led to congregation chorale singing, and the mass-distribution of musical materials. Dance, folk-song, and popular theatre led to extraordinary innovation in sound, instruments, and the capacities of the human voice. The use of the cantus firmus and of canonic imitation was everywhere, leading to richer and higher textures in multiple forms. Specific techniques such as retrograde, inversion, augmentation, and diminution and more added to this richness. Most audibly, melody itself became the prime organizing criterion. All of this lived in a growing field of polyphony, employed vocally and instrumentally. The lute family was vastly influential, occupying a place in this era as has the piano in our own.
Leading writers on music are too many to name here, but those of Tinctoris (1436-1511), Agricola (1486-1556), Zarlino (1517-1590), and Morley (1557-1602) will suffice.
From the Greek era to the end of the Renaissance saw the steady progress of a Western music ready for the appearance of its first incontestable geniuses: Monteverdi, Purcell, Handel, and J.S. Bach.

FEMA dispatcher: Inspector heads into Katrina's wake
Peter Drenan is no newcomer to disaster relief. For the past three years, the home inspector has worked with FEMA to rebuild homes ravaged by natural disasters. Now Drenan is headed to Baton Rouge, where he'll join the largest clean-up operation in American history.
"How do you inspect 2,000 houses?" he asks. "Sometimes we never know how it's going to go until we get down there. We make it up as we go along."
To start with, Drenan, 51, will be heading up a team of 600 volunteers using a plan he helped create when Hurricane Isabel soaked Central and Eastern Virginia in September 2003.
He's excited to start work on devastated Louisiana, but the scope of the cleanup is daunting. The team will have to cope with 21 million cubic yards of debris– the skeletons of remaining houses, rubble, animal carcasses, contaminated soil, and trash trapped in stagnant flood waters.
"Almost everybody has been feeling the need to respond," Drenan says. "I'm just glad that FEMA can put my skills to use and make it easy for me to help."
The task won't be a walk in the park. Most of the 5,000 FEMA volunteers are working 12-16 hours a day, seven days a week. They sleep on cots, live in tents, and eat military-issue Meals Ready to Eat (MREs). Drenan insists that folks willing to pitch into this operation are not unusually self-sacrificing or heroic.
"They're just salt-of-the-Earth people," he says, "not the political version, but the people who are actually working." That's why, because he plans to work with FEMA for the foreseeable future, he has put his Charlottesville-based company in the hands of his business partner.
Drenan is concerned about the future because the destruction wrought by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita is like no other disaster America has faced. "We often try to get people after disasters to go back to their houses to get a sense of normalcy," he says," but here there are no belongings to pick up."
The important thing for Drenan is to be sure people in Charlottesville don't forget the catastrophe and return to business as usual. When the community knows that one of their own is rolling up his sleeves in the trenches, he believes, the disaster become real and personal. Drenan intends to keep Katrina and Rita alive for Charlottesville by sending weekly dispatches to the Hook.
"It's true that the clocks tick and that tomorrow's emergency is going to make this one fade into memory," he says. "I hope to show people what it's like to get your hands dirty down there, and really be without."

Dear Math Stackexchange,
I'm a physics researcher working on a problem in quantum statistical physics. I've encountered the following function which I do not recognize (neither does Mathematica):
$$R(z; a,b) =\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{a^k}{1+z \, b^k},$$
where $a$ and $b$ are real parameters, $b>1$ and $0<a<b$.
In practice I need values of this function for $z$ on the real positive semi-axis, but I would like to understand it better first. As far as I see, $R(z; a,b)$ is a meromorphic function with poles within the unit circle and an essential singularity at $z=0$.
Can it be related to some known special function? Are there more efficient ways to compute it rather than to sum the defining series directly? I'd appreciate any advice or hint. Physical context for this problem can be found on Physics SE.

Maine National Guard urges passage of bond question to upgrade decaying armories
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) � The Maine National Guard is urging voters to approve a $14 million bond issue to upgrade armories around the state.
Officials say working conditions in many of the armories are deplorable and unsafe.
Brig. Gen. James Campbell tells WMTW-TV (http://bit.ly/1aSORn4 ) that many of the facilities date to the 1930s and conditions have deteriorated substantially over the decades.
Soldiers and airmen have launched a public awareness campaign in the hopes of convincing Maine voters to support the bond question on next week's ballot.

Written for Ideastap
One of the most acclaimed voices of modern playwriting, Martin Crimp's work spans cult texts, such as Attempts on her Life, and bold adaptations of Molière. His double bill of plays, Play House/Definitely the Bahamas, marks his directorial debut. Here he talks to Honour Bayes about the importance of writing what excites you…
You have said you don't see being a writer as a job you chose to take on, but something you have always been. Over the years how have you honed your craft?
Since writing Attempts on her Life in 1997 I've become more sensitive to the power of narration in drama, which I abandoned for a while in favour of a more fashionable ping-pong of fragmented dialogue. Going back recently to Definitely the Bahamas, a play I wrote in 1986, I'm struck by the fact that its climax is four pages of continuous storytelling, which remains powerful. So I would say honing my craft means trying to stay open to all forms of writing.
When you sit down to write what is your process?
The important thing for me in this world of endlessly rolling information is to empty my mind of all distractions. I still write by hand and I believe in the importance of the mark on the page. I improvise until I find an image or a tone of voice that feels alive. For example, I'd been improvising some tiny scenes of people offering each other gifts. After some months, one of these scenes, in which a woman gives a man an unexpected present, became the starting point for Play House.
Where should writers look for inspiration?
Inspiration is the mysterious collision of intense lived experience with intense literary experience. Whatever the experience, banal or remarkable, it's the intensity that counts. Plus, for a playwright, the strange music of the human voice is central.
You have had long associations with the Orange Tree Theatre and Royal Court Theatre. Is it important for new playwrights to form a relationship with a venue?
The support of a theatre is a wonderful thing, but you shouldn't be afraid to create diverse relationships with theatres and with directors. This will broaden your notion of what a theatrical event can be.
You have adapted a number of classics with a radical flare. What do you need to take into account when approaching someone else's text?
You need to be clear about the rules of engagement. Is the plan to write a new play on top of an old one? – like Cruel and Tender, which is based on a play by Sophocles – or is it more simply to intervene by modernising the language and cutting? – as I did with The Seagull. In both these cases the conversation with the director – Luc Bondy in one case, Katie Mitchell in the other – was an essential part of establishing the rules.
Do you believe working on translations and adaptations affects a writer's own craft?
Translating sets the much harder work of imagining your own play into stark relief, because, when you simply translate, the imagining has been done for you. What's interesting about translating is that it pushes you into areas of language you may habitually avoid; I resist this, but at the same time it excites me.
You recently directed for the first time. How has this experience impacted on you as a playwright?
I wrote the 13 short scenes of Play House in part as a directorial challenge. How do you give each short scene – and they range from punishing accusation to the exuberant physical expression of love – a strong separate identity, but at the same time create a seamless theatrical flow? It never occurred to me I'd be the one having to meet that challenge myself.
As for how it affects writing, I'd say it reinforces what I've always known: only write what it excites you to write. Don't be afraid to create problems. Provided the writing is truthful, the director and actors will find ways of solving them.

The role of the written word in/as art is of abiding interest to me. Whether it be language as artmaking material (as is the case with Lawrence Weiner's work), the wall drawings of Sol LeWitt (where the instructions for carrying out a piece are as crucial as the drawing itself), or the often dense and always rich writings of the British group Art & Language (their essays being best understood as art), recent art history is brimming with artists engaging with language in order to better elucidate a specific conceptual and aesthetic sensibility. This shift to language is much studied and theorized about and seems to be described as a way for artists to shed the shackles of materiality in favor of the freedom of words. Of course, nothing is ever as clear as that. The gray area between material and text provides an opportunity to consider how one affects the other. The results are rewarding.
I recently had the occasion to be reminded of Richard Serra's hand-scrawled Verb List, 1967–68, which consists of two sheets of paper with the infinitive form of 84 verbs and 24 possible contexts. Considered a work of art itself, this wide-ranging catalogue of actions breathes new life into an artistic practice some consider to be the embodiment of materiality. Serra is known for his hulking, majestic, and determinedly material sculptural work. Language would seem to have little room in this oeuvre of bended, compressed, and torqued rubber, lead, and steel forms.
Using Serra's Verb List as a jumping off point, it is invigorating to give voice to the processes that crafted and molded his Right Angle Corner Prop with Pole, 1969, an important early work currently installed in our first-floor galleries. The sometimes dull, sometimes lustrous patina of the sculpture's lead surface needs the words/actions to roll, to crumple, to expand, to support, to distribute in order to fully realize its potential as matter. These words give the sculpture the space to fully be. Bringing such specific actions into the conversation allows the materiality of the work to shine. Such placeholders are rich signifiers for actions and imbue an already dynamic, tension-filled work with a zeal and immediacy in a way that only language can. It is through the written word that I blend the object-ness of what I am looking at with the act(s) that realized its physical manifestation. What verbs do you use?

Post subject: GAMSAT COURSE MATERIAL CHOICES
I will attempt the GAMSAT in 2011. I have read many of the comments on various materials that are on the market. Has anyone used the GOLD STANDARD package by Dr Brett Ferdinand ?
The website is called gamsat-prep
I do not know where to begin my studies on this but I have narrowed it down to this and medprep international.
Can anyone advise based on experience keeping in mind that I have not studied anything for almost 20 years.

Post subject: Thumbs down on gold standard
I have received the gold standard stuff. Basically, this is just Dr Ferdinand's Gold Standard MCAT course repackaged. Most of the package is labeled with "MCAT"! Not impressed.
The stuff is good for revising science knowledge but the science questions are nothing like gamsat questions in section 3 and what he calls "verbal reasoning" (MCAT section 1) does not include drama, poems, puzzles, cartoons and social science material like gamsat's section 1. The ACER questions for section 1 seem much harder and require nuanced reasoning that mcat does not from what I can tell. Also the mcat essay section is not the same as the gamsat written communication section and he has not bothered to address this in a substantial way.
I was sold by Dr Ferdinand's fancy marketing campaign but his stuff is not based on gamsat. I do think that this material will suffice for science revision but not for anything else.
I think I'm going to use med-prep to study the basic sciences and to have my essays assessed and use des for heaps of gamsat style questions. I'll use gold standard for advanced science and org chem.
I'd stay away from gold standard unless science revision is your main aim. But many mcat books can be used for this and often cost just $30.

Are you sure you are talking about the book called The Gold Standard GAMSAT? If so, which "science questions" are you saying are not like GAMSAT Section 3 questions? Are you referring to the hundreds of online questions with worked solutions or the full length practice test?

I can only guess you are talking about his MCAT book because this is what's in the GS GAMSAT book:
About 150 pages covering Section 1 and 2 which includes strategies, about 100 practice items and the 2 exam sections in the full length test with free worked answers online.
In terms of Section 1: there are cartoons, poetry, drama, excerpts from novels and other classic GAMSAT problems both in the practice section and in the full length test at the back of the book. The presence of the various stimulus material is in the same proportion as the real GAMSAT.
Section 2 includes practice and strategy for Writing Test A and B separately, with 50 exercises and sample essays in the book and online.
Section 3 is about 500 pages in color with complete explanations, 10 hours of free online videos, hundreds of worked problems online and of course the Section 3 test at the back of the book.
Every test question in the book comes with worked solutions online (free) and each question has an individual forum thread so you can discuss the question if it's still not clear.

Post subject: Reply to md-for-me
Hello md-for-me,
purchased the book from amazon.co.uk for GBP 89 from an alternative seller. The book advertised on Amazon does not let customers 'look inside' online (Ferdinand's MCAT book does) so customers are blind when making purchases. Ferdinand should change this. I don't know if I received the wrong book or your description is inaccurate.
Your idiom sounds north american (eg 'gotten') and MD is not the typical medical qualification awarded in the UK, Ireland or in Australia. In Australia we receive an MBBS or BMBS unless in the new Melbourne course. Hence, mbbs-for-me would be less likely to give you away as north american.
Are you advertising Ferdinand's products on this forum for payment?
How can Ferdinand be a GAMSAT expert if he trained as a doctor in north america and has experience only with MCAT?
GAMSAT and MCAT are very different.
Please be honest. This is a very important exam and many people try and make money by misleading GAMSAT students.

Good point about Amazon.co.uk. I just emailed the person responsible but Amazon's website says that the process takes 6-8 weeks so it will take awhile (and of course it won't be helpful for you but it may help someone else so, thanks). But given the price, you should have gotten the right book: what does it say on the cover? If it says GAMSAT and if you see about 100 b/w pullout test sections in the back that say GAMSAT Section 1 (with cartoons, images, poems, novel excerpts, etc.), Section 2 and Section 3 then you have the right book.
I am a Forum Answerer! As I mentioned, the book has a forum thread for each of the 185 test questions in the book. In all there must be over 1000 individual discussion threads on gamsat-prep.com/forum. You have to see it to believe it! Anyways, my job is to answer science questions and there is no charge or fee for students. But because everyone is reviewing right now, there are no questions to answer yet! I'm sure that by January or February, I'll be swamped but that's OK. (I'm not paid to answer forum questions outside of gamsat-prep.com, but of course I have an interest in the GS doing well)
When you get the book, remember it is just one component of what you own: use the online practice questions and videos and forum, etc. It will be the first product that you would buy for the GAMSAT that you might sincerely believe that you got more than what you paid for (I did say "might"!).
You are correct, he is an MD and does not hide it. And if there was no Gold Standard GAMSAT (my personal biased opinion!) and no ACER booklets, the only realistic MCQs left would be Des O'neill's 2 exams and Des never sat the GAMSAT, he is no MBBS nor BMBS nor anything medical. He was an examiner and now he is a teacher. Dr. Ferdinand's qualification is as a teacher. If you search "Medical School Interviews" on YouTube, you'll see what I mean.
And, if you have any questions about the book, you can ask him next month!
Now it's my personal mission to be sure you squeeze everything you can out of that book!!

Please be sure that you are logged out of the website, then click Register in the top right corner of the home page and then you will see in red: Click here if you own the Gold Standard. Then you follow the directions and you will be able to login as an owner (you can tell when you click on Lessons or Videos in the top Menu).

You should be able to remain logged in for hours on end as long as the account is relatively active. Because suspicious account activity can result in account deletion, we have not yet given an automatic login except for the forum.
I hope that helps.

The case on last night's Law & Order: SVU involved two "hot" news stories: dating violence (a girl was beaten unconscious by her boyfriend) and "sexting" (she sent naked photos from her cellphone).
To boot, the girl's frustrated father had also just been laid off from Lehman, due to the economy, which initially led detectives to think that perhaps he had been the one beating her. The high school girl, Kimberly, was arrested on kiddie porn charges mainly because older bruises and cracked ribs indicated that she'd been suffering from long term abuse, and she wouldn't identify who had been doing it to her out of fear. (It was one of two boys, both of whom denied involvement, of course)
After her arrest and appearance in court, she finally admitted that it was her boyfriend who had been beating her up regularly, so the prosecution moved to drop all charges. But the judge (Swoosie Kurtz) was a hard ass, found the girl guilty anyway, and sentenced her to a year in a juvenile lock up in Ohio. It was then discovered that the judge's cousin ran that facility, and she had been receiving a commission for filling up beds, and had been convicting underage kids for frivolous charges for quite a while in order to make extra cash.

Regulation of International Students
Section 641 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 mandated that the Immigration and Naturalization Service ("INS") develop an information collection program relating to non-immigrant foreign students and other exchange program participants. In December of 1999, the INS proposed a ruling authorizing the collection of fees on certain non-immigrant visas to fund this tracking program. Initially conceived as a way to gather information on foreign students who would be spending four or more years in the United States, this Section has had a number of unintended and unfortunate consequences.
ACA is requesting that Section 641 of Public Law 104-208 be amended to exclude non-immigrant exchange program participants that enter the United States using J-1 visas for visits of twelve months or less duration under programs authorized by the Department of State (formerly the United States Information Agency).
ACA has continued to work with a broad coalition of organizations to ensure that camps are not negatively effected by the INS' proposed Coordinated Interagency Partnership Regulating International Students (CIPRIS). ACA and coalition members have held a wide variety of meetings with members of Congress and the administration, committee staff, and others with influence over public policy. ACA has also asked its members to contact their Senators and Representatives to encourage them to support the ACA position. (See www.ACAcamps.org/publicpolicy).
The coalition is pursuing a two-track legislative strategy. First, we have drafted an amendment that, if passed, will result in a significant reduction of fees imposed upon program participants. This reduction of fees will greatly reduce the financial hardships placed on international counselors as well as on camps that may have to absorb the cost. We anticipate the fee will be reduced from its proposed $95 to a more reasonable $45 for short-term participants in CIPRIS.
The second legislative approach is an amendment offered by Senator Judd Gregg (R) of New Hampshire, and included in the Commerce, State, Justice Appropriation for Fiscal 2001. Senator Gregg's amendment repeals the entire CIPRIS program. There is significant resistance to this amendment in the House, and again ACA has asked its members to contact their House members in support of the language. The absence of repeal language in the House bill means the issue will have to be resolved in a House-Senate conference committee. We are hopeful this amendment will survive.
Background Information
In fact, the requirement to track participants that enter the United States under J-1 visas for visits of twelve months or less duration is unnecessary since these programs are administered by the Department of State (formerly USIA) that has specific regulations requiring that the Sponsors track each and every participant.
- The fee program is poorly conceived. It imposes the same fee upon someone in the country for four years as for four months. Collection and accountability are not well thought out.
- The fee will discourage short-term employees from working and seeking employment in the U.S., creating a staff shortage in camps.
- If the non-immigrant is unable to pay the fee, the burden will fall on camps, 75 percent of which are run by not-for-profit organizations. ACA members employ approximately 16,000 non-immigrants each year for periods ranging from two to four months.
- INS will not receive any benefit under the CIPRIS program. By the time the information is collected the counselor will have left the country.
- ACA believes it was not the intent of authorizing legislation's sponsor, former Senator Alan Simpson of Wyoming, to effect camps in this way. His discussion of the legislation specifically addressed the need to track long-term students, those in college for an anticipated four years.
ACA has drafted letters supporting this legislation as well as thanking Senator Gregg for his efforts. If you have not sent a letter to your member of Congress, please obtain a letter from ACA's Web site and mail it in promptly.

I was born in England to Irish parents but have spent most of my adult life living in Scotland, I love Scotland and have found the people generally friendly and approachable, however this heightened miss guided patriotism stirred up by the SNP, has led to, for the first time in my 33 years in Scotland an environment where an English accent is maligned by a few in a country where everyone else is tolerated and made most welcome.
I worry for my adopted country in that this nationalistic fever driven more by the SWP (Scottish Whingeing Party) and a ridiculous movie starring Mel Gibson than reality,
will lead to a divorce from the rest of the UK with disastrous results for both but mostly Caledonia.
What I really do not understand is why freedom is about leaving the UK where there is significant, yet disproportionate representation at Westminster and not about leaving the EU,
when there is relatively little in Brussels.
What I dont want is a situation in years to come when the country is bankrupt and Nicola and Alex are living comfortably in luxury cabins in a remote area of Nova Scotia, flying their weathered Saltires proudly, is to say I told you so.
What baffles people living in England is the realisation that we have free tuition fees (including for all other EU countrys but not rest of UK) free hospital parking, prescriptions, personal care in old age etc. in a country that has a larger public spending deficit than Greece and 40% greater than the rest of the UK. Why they wonder would they want Freedom from a position where the rest of the UK are in effect Subsidising their over spending. If all people in England were aware of the disparity created in 1978 with the Barnett Formula (19% higher Public Spending in Scotland than England) I think the English would be calling for freedom.
Do the SWP seriously believe that the rest of the EU would welcome another financial burden and create an equivalent to the Barnet Formula for Scotland?
Make no mistake the only real policy of the head whingers within the SWP is independence at any cost, all this false concern about leaving the EU is nothing to do with economics (Scotland exports far more to the rest of the UK than EU) but is a front to drive towards another referendum.
The UK vote to leave the EU was a reason to celebrate for the SWP, it distracts from their failure with Education, Health Care. Transport infrastructure etc. (all Englands fault naturally) and gives them a further opportunity to pursue their primary goal. Mr Gibson would be so proud let's target Jews next for killing Jesus.
It`s not about Freedom for England or Freedom for Scotland it`s about a united front with the UK being a major commercial and cultural player in the post Brexit world.
Being of Irish descent I can understand nationalist pride and a drive for a distinctive identity, however Scotland already has this along with a large number of devolved powers, why let Nicola`s over developed arrogance, ego and English xenophobia ruin a great nation further. Rarely in reality is the grass greener on the other side, in the case of a yes vote it will be burnt Orange, Please Nicola don't just think about your place in history think about solving the problems of your making in our great country.

Chicken Pate, Seven-Layer Salad and Grasshopper Dessert Souffle recipes: Helen Dollaghan
Week 28: Chicken Pate, Seven-Layer Salad and Grasshopper Dessert Souffle recipes
Helen Dollaghan, food editor of The Denver Post from 1958-1993, selected recipes she felt were the best and published them in this 1987 special section called "30 Years of Rocky Mountain Cooking." Most are recipes Helen or her readers developed.
On Fridays we share several of the recipes from her collection.
One of the best
inexpensive pates
we've yet to taste,
the recipe developed
during a California
wine promotion
in Denver.
Chicken Pate
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) butter
1 medium onion, sliced
3 whole chicken breasts, boned, skinned and cut in small pieces
1 cup tawny port wine
1 package (3-oz.) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons heavy cream or evaporated milk
1 1/4 teaspoons dired tarragon
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 3/4 oz. slivered, toasted almonds
Melt butter. Add onion and chicken. Saute, stirring frequently, until chicken loses pink color on the outside. Add 1/2 cup of the wine. Cook at rolling boil, uncovered, until reduced to about half. Puree in blender or food processor. Break cheese in small pieces and add with cream, tarragon, salt, pepper and remaining wine. Mix until smooth. Add almonds, reserving some for garnish. Firmly pack pate into crock or bowl. Refrigerate, covered, one or two days before serving. Garnish with reserved almonds and paprika. Serve with crackers.
Mary Loffreda was one
of the first in Denver to
serve this now-famous
Seven-Layer Salad
1 small head crisp lettuce, finely shredded
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 package (10 oz.) frozen peas, cooked, drained and cooled
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 cups sour cream
2 tablespoons sugar
6 oz. cheddar cheese, shredded
8 strips bacon, crisply fried. drained and crumbled
Arrange lettuce evenly in bottom of baking dish, 8 x 8-inch. In layers, sprinkle top with celery, green pepper, onion and peas. Whisk mayonnaise with sour cream until smooth. Spoon evenly over peas. Do not mix. Sprinkle with sugar, then cheese and bacon. Cover with foil, pinching around sides of pan but leaving air space between salad and foil on top. Refrigerate at least eight hours. Serves 9.
