In 1988, the political dispute over nuclear weapons on nuclear-capable warships visiting Danish ports triggered a national election. The crisis erupted following the publication of increasingly detailed information and statements by various retired U.S. Navy officials that U.S. nuclear warships routinely carried nuclear weapons including during visits to foreign ports.
Danish governments had always insisted that the United States government was well aware of Denmark's non-nuclear policy. Therefore, the governments claimed, there was no reason to suspect that the policy was not respected. New information that suggested otherwise was rejected by the Danish governments without explanation and this attitude helped create the basis for a political initiative in the Danish parliament to force the authorities to remind the nuclear powers of Denmark's non-nuclear policy.
In April 1988, the issue came to a head when the Social Democratic Party proposed that the clearance letter given to foreign powers asking for permission to visit a Danish port with a naval warship should include a statement that Denmark did not permit nuclear weapons on its territory. Moreover, this clearance should be communicated to the captain of the warship. The Danish government resisted such a move arguing the ban was already well known to the nuclear allies and that reminding the captains of this would violate the nuclear powers' policy of "neither confirming nor denying" (NCND) whether a ship carried nuclear weapons. In truth the resolution did not require the captain to disclose whether his ship carried nuclear weapons but only restated the existing nuclear policy, so the conflict with the NCND policy was dubious at best.
"As the Folketing notes that throughout 30 years it has been Danish policy not to accept nuclear weapons on Danish territory, including Danish ports, the government is enjoined to notify visiting warships of this."
During a recess following the adoption of the resolution, the government held an emergency cabinet meeting after which Prime Minister Paul Schlüter informed the parliament that he feared for the impact of the resolution on the military reinforcement agreements and NATO's ability to provide Denmark security.
Ground Zero: Danish Parliament, a frequent battleground for Cold War nuclear policy issues
Schlüter said the government would study the impact of the resolution and report back to the parliament within ten days.
Building Up The Pressure
The stage was set: Denmark's allies were upset but how would the government be able to demonstrate to the voters the serious implication it said the resolution would have for Denmark? Over the next several days, the Danish government worked in close collusion with the nuclear powers in NATO to impress upon the Danish public the serious consequences the resolution would have. For the nuclear powers the situation was tricky: how to impress upon Denmark the seriousness of the situation without being seen as interfering in the internal affairs of a sovereign and allied country? The Danish government appears to have eased this problem by inviting at least some of the foreign statements.
Early in the morning (European time) of April 15, 1988, U.S. Secretary of State George Schultz issued a statement "at the request of the Danish government" which expressed deep concern over the resolution passed by the Danish parliament:
"The United States government is deeply distressed over the implications for NATO unity and cooperation of the resolution.... Implementation of the Folketing resolution approved April 14 in a way which is inconsistent with the U.S. [neither confirm nor deny] policy would undercut the nuclear deterrence policy on which NATO's security is based. It would have extremely serious consequences for U.S./Danish defense cooperation." (full copy here)
The statement received widespread coverage in Danish media as supporting the government's claim of serious consequences. In following up, Danish Foreign Minister Uffe Ellemann-Jensen called George Schultz in the evening of April 15 to provide the U.S. Secretary with "his evaluation of where things stand and where they are headed." Washington was actively pushing both the British and other NATO government's "to go public with their concerns to underscore that this is a NATO, not only and US/Danish issue." British Foreign Minister Howe told the U.S. government that he intended to talk to Ellemann-Jensen first about how the Danish government intended to proceed before considering a public statement. (full copy here)
The U.S. government also approached NATO General Secretary Peter Carrington, who subsequently issued a more cautiously phrased statement than that of George Schultz. A specific request to Carrington was that he should convene a North Atlantic Committee (NAC) meeting on the Danish resolution and its implications for NATO security. (full copy here)
Elsewhere the efforts to get other NATO countries to express their concern to the Danes included countries such as Portugal and Germany. In a meeting with Portugal's Foreign Minister Deus Pinheiro on April 15, the U.S. Ambassador encouraged Pinheiro to make the Government of Portugal's views known to the Danes. (full copy here) German Foreign Minister Genscher sent a letter of concern to Danish Foreign Minister Uffe Ellemann-Jensen in which Genscher spoke of the importance of maintaining security in Europe through a sharing of risks, burdens, responsibilities and benefits in NATO. In the letter, which the U.S. Embassy in Bonn said the Germans planned to circulate in NATO and give to the press in Bonn, Genscher warned:
"These common alliance positions have made it possible, up to now, to respect the policy of the Danish government on nuclear questions in time of peace. However, the change in this policy which is now under discussion could have the most serious consequences for common alliance positions. In this connection the Federal Government ... whishes to make clear its concern over a development which could impinge on the credibility of our deterrence strategy and, in the final analysis, also on our efforts in the field of arms control and disarmament." (full copy here)
Another attempt to visualize the foreign concern over the parliament's resolution was the NATO Nuclear Planning Group (NPG) meeting scheduled to be held in Kolding in April 1988. The U.S. Ambassador to Denmark, Terrence Todman, suggested that if the Danish government unexpectedly found a way to avoid an election the NPG meeting should be used "to confirm the legitimacy of nuclear deterrence." Yet holding the nuclear banner too high could backfire, Todman warned, because the Danish minority government already before the ship visit crisis erupted had been under attack in Parliament for its support of NATO nuclear planning. Instead the emphasis should be on NATO solidarity and burden sharing, Todman recommended, "to reinforce the idea that failure to meet the obligations commonly agreed to runs the risk of losing the benefits." (full copy here)
Crisis, What Crisis
One problem for the Danish government and the foreign government officials who claimed the resolution challenged the NCND policy was that the resolution did not require the captains of visiting warships to disclose whether their ships carried nuclear weapons or not. In fact, the resolution didn't require the captains to declare anything.
Secretary Schultz's statement of April 15 indicates that the U.S. government was aware of this. "Implementation of the Folketing resolution approved April 14 in a way which is inconsistent with the U.S. [neither confirm nor deny] policy would undercut the nuclear deterrence policy on which NATO's security is based." Schultz's statement did not say that the resolution in its present form violated the NCND policy, only that it could if it was implemented in a certain way. This "credibility problem" for the pressure campaign was compounded by reports in the Danish paper Berlingske Tidende quoting anonymous NATO sources saying that NATO could live with the resolution as adopted by the parliament:
"We are talking about a new situation situation if the matter only concerns the resolution passed by parliament and does not entail requiring ship commanders to respond....NATO can therefore live with the resolution if it is implemented in a manner that does not impact on the allies' nuclear weapons policy." (full copy here)
The Danish government could have ended the crisis right there and simply replied to the U.S. government: "Thank you for your concern. We have no intention of implementing the resolution in a way that will require the captains to declare the armament of their ship. Our nuclear policy remains unchained and we look forward to working with you in the future." But the Danish government had cornered itself -- as had the NATO allies by their strong statements -- by stern warnings prior to adoption of the resolution and never explained very well how the NCND policy coexisted with Denmark's non-nuclear policy.
The U.S. State Department anticipated questions about this dilemma from reporters and its press guidance for April 15 included a prefabricated answer to questions about what type of implementation of the Danish resolution that would be inconsistent with the NCND policy:
"Implementation of the resolution may require procedures that would create the assumption that a visiting ship does not carry nuclear weapons. This assumption would compromise the "Neither-Confirm-Nor-Deny" policy."
Non-Nuclear Policy In Crisis
This answer was bad news for the integrity of Danish non-nuclear policy because it suggested that even the non-nuclear policy itself was inconsistent with the NCND policy. Danish government officials insisted that Denmark's non-nuclear policy was well know to the nuclear allies and that there was no reason to believe they didn't abide by it.
"There is no doubt whatsoever," stated former Danish Defense Minister Hans Engell in 1984, "that this policy also means a ban against an ever so brief presence of nuclear weapons on Danish territory, including naturally also territorial waters." The nuclear powers, added Engell's successor, Bernt Johan Collet, in 1987, "respect our nuclear policy."
Yet the dilemma was obvious: if the nuclear powers did respect Denmark's ban against nuclear weapons on its territory, including territorial waters, then each port visit to a Danish harbor would indirectly confirm that the ship could not possibly carry nuclear weapons -- unless, of cause, it violated the non-nuclear policy. For this reason, the U.S. never acknowledged Denmark's non-nuclear policy. Doing so would "create the assumption that a visiting ship does not carry nuclear weapons," to paraphrase the U.S. State Department's press guidance of April 15. "This assumption would compromise the "Neither-Confirm-Nor-Deny" policy," according to the U.S. government.
In contrast, Danish government officials were -- as was indeed the whole basis for Denmark's non-nuclear weapons policy -- under the illusion that the non-nuclear policy influenced the armament of visiting warships. But that wasn't the case. Indeed, the NCND policy had intentionally been designed to create uncertainty about this issue to provide unrestricted access for warships to foreign ports regardless of the nuclear policy of the host country. Denmark's non-nuclear policy and the NCND policy coexisted in parallel without affecting the other directly. In a telegram to all diplomatic posts on April 27, 1988, the U.S. government explained in the context of the Danish ship visit debate:
"In applying the NCND policy, the U.S. does not provide assurances, explicitly or implicitly, that it complies with anti-nuclear policies or prohibitions of host countries." (full copy here)
The fact that the resolution didn't challenge the NCND policy anymore than the non-nuclear policy did was largely overlook in the heat of the debate. Likewise, the caveat in George Schultz's statement -- that the Danish resolution would require implementation in a certain way to actually be inconsistent with the NCND -- was soon ignored by both Danish and U.S. government officials. Instead they portrayed the resolution's requirement to inform captains on visiting warships of the existing non-nuclear policy as conflicting with the NCND. "He said this conflicts with U.S. policy of neither confirming nor denying the presence of nuclear weapons aboard its ships," a State Department spokesperson incorrectly stated with reference to Secretary Schultz's statement during the noon briefing on April 15. (full copy here)
An Election Is Called
The well orchestrated foreign reaction made its intended mark. On April 19, after only half of the ten-day time-limit he set on April 14 to examine the consequences of the resolution, Prime Minister Schlüter called a national election for May 10, 1988. In summing up the first week of the election campaign, Ambassador Todman described in a telegram to Secretary of State Schultz the successful impact of the foreign pressure on the Danish voters:
"The subsequent transfer of the NATO's Nuclear Planning Group's meeting (April 26-27) from Kolding, Denmark, to Brussels, the strong message of concern about the ship visit resolution issued after the NAC (North Atlantic Council) meeting in Brussels on April 20, and the announcement that NATO SECGEN (Secretary General) Lord Carrington had postponed his farewell visit to Denmark all assured that the NATO angle stayed on the front pages and on the voter's minds during the first week of the campaign. If the message of allied concern were not clear enough, the announcement by the end of the week that both the British and the French government's had postponed their scheduled ship visits to Denmark left no doubt in anyone's mind that NATO interests had indeed been affected by the April 14 ship visit resolution." (full copy here)
If anyone had doubts about the objective to interfere with a democratic election in a sovereign nation, the Ambassador's message appeared to make the intention blatantly clear. With the upcoming election, however, the U.S. diplomatic strategy shifted somewhat from pressure to what's next: what would be the situation after the election and would it be something the U.S. could live with?
Ambassador Todman described these considerations in a telegram to Secretary Schultz on April 20. Both the U.S. and Danes were anxious to find a solution to the problem, but rumors were that if the election strengthened the government and the central Radical Liberals party, a new government might still want to remind the nuclear powers of the non-nuclear policy. "Therefore it is very important," Todman emphasized, "that we continue working on this problem," and asked for State Department guidance for the period after the election. (full copy here)
Ambassador Todman's prediction soon became reality when the election failed to provide a clear mandate to either political side in Parliament but enabled a right-wing minority government to continue in power. For the opposition, which had forced the anti-nuclear issue, the election ended the so-called Security Political Majority of center/left-wing parties that had forced the minority government to accept anti-nuclear policies for years.
The "Solution"
For the government the election created the peculiar situation of the Foreign Minister having to notify, as one of his first acts, foreign powers of the very non-nuclear policy it had insisted throughout the port visit crisis and election campaign was well-known to Denmark's allies. On June 7, Foreign Minister Uffe Ellemann-Jensen forwarded all diplomatic missions in Copenhagen a circular note that reminded them that it "is Danish policy not under the present circumstances, i.e. in peacetime, to accept nuclear weapons on Danish territory, including Danish ports." In the end, even the port clearance procedure was changed so that every clearance sent to the diplomatic mission of the country requesting a port visit in the future would include the following sentence:
"The Danish Government assumes that the visit of the vessel will be in compliance with rules laid down by the Danish government." (full copy here)
The word "nuclear" was not mentioned in the ship clearance, but the well-known policy was once again reiterated in the circular note. A "solution" had been found, the government said, and the foreign powers did not object to being reminded -- once again -- that their warships could not bring nuclear weapons into Danish ports (full copy here).
The U.S. Embassy was immediately asked by the State Department to respond to the Danish government's circular note. The objective was much more than diplomatic courtesy. Apart from stating that Washington considered the case closed and could live with the Danish "solution," the State Department explicitly noted Danish Foreign Minister Uffe Ellemann-Jensen's statement in the circular note that:
"The Danish government considers that this procedure respects the policy of our allies neither to confirm nor to deny the presence of nuclear weapons on their naval vessels." (full copy here)
To the United States, the Danish government's explicit mentioning of and stated respect for the NCND policy reaffirmed that U.S. warships were not restricted by the non-nuclear policy. In response to this tacit "go ahead" from the Danish government, the U.S. response notably did not mention the Danish non-nuclear policy. Doing so would have been an acknowledgement and implied that U.S. warships abided by the ban. (for an in-depth review of the NCND policy and its application throughout the world, see the report "The Neither Confirm Nor Deny Policy: Nuclear Diplomacy at Work")
One month later the United States tested Denmark's submission to the NCND policy by sending the nuclear-capable (and nuclear certified) destroyer USS Conyngham (DDG-17) to the port of Aalborg (see ship profile). Only two months later, in September 1988, the nuclear-capable (and nuclear certified) warships USS Spruance (DD-693) and USS Dahlgren (DDG-43) arrived in Aarhus (see ships profile). Detailed information about both ship's nuclear capability was provided to the Danish government which once again insisted that Denmark's non-nuclear policy was well-known and respected by the nuclear powers.
The routine violation of Denmark's non-nuclear policy during port visits had been reaffirmed with the tacit approval of the Danish government, twenty years after it was formalized following the 1968 crash of a nuclear bomber in Greenland (for Greenland, click here). Much like in 1968, the Danish government in 1988 seemed to have learned little from the crisis and instead set the stage for more years of political fights and future diplomatic crises.
In Washington, however, some senior members of the new Bush administration were beginning to think the political cost of nuclear port visits was getting too high. With New Zealand deciding in 1985 to deny access to warships it considered to be carrying nuclear weapons, with Denmark's nuclear election in 1988, and with the issue creating major political crises in Japan, the Philippines, Sweden and numerous countries around the world, the deployment of nuclear weapons at sea was gradually loosing its luster. When the Bush administration in 1991 considered which unilateral nuclear reductions it could make to reduce the Cold War with the Soviet Union, the removal of naval nuclear weapons from warships was included in the package.
Overnight, Denmark's nuclear headache disappeared, not because of the efforts of Danish governments but because of the bold initiative of the Bush administration.

Imagine if it turned out that Jack Straw had lied about attending a prestigious overseas university and had instead bought his "degree" on eBay. Imagine, too, that the Justice Secretary used to regale acquaintances with stories about his time at the institution that he never attended.
If you can imagine all that, you can imagine the amusement of Iranians on learning that their interior minister, Ali Kordan, never studied at Oxford University, as he used to boast, and that his degree "certificate" purporting to be from Oxford was replete with basic spelling mistakes.
But Mr Kordan is no joke politically. He is one of the key allies of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president. And Mr Ahmadinejad stood by his interior minister right up until his sacking by the Iranian parliament yesterday.
So the question would seem to be: will Iranians see the funny side when they vote in the country's general elections next summer, or will they throw the clowns out?

Steak and Pho noodle bento
Todays lunch has steak, and pho noodles (aka rice sticks) with corn, broccoli, and tomatoes! I guess the rainy dreary day inspired a boring bento. I promise some cuteness in the near future. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Asian food Market!
After a long hiatus from the blog, my bento obsession was refueled by stumbling upon an oriental food market. I have really missed the bento scene, and hopefully I am back for good this time. I don't know how many of you in the states are from the East coast, but if you ever happen to wander down to Myrtle Beach SC there is a little store tucked in Socastee which is just out of the beach. No bento boxes but there is a great collection of foods and treats and cooking ingredients. I bought a lot of things that had to be eaten before I made my trek back home and unfortunately I did not get any pictures. I do however have a few pictures of the treats I bought! A assorted pack of mini jelly cups. These are a lot like jello. Some grape flavored gummies, a lychee and coconut jelly and some golden rabbit caramel. I also got some buckwheat soba, rice sticks or pho noodles, seaweed sheets, furikake, some bean paste filled things....They were covered with like a powder and kind of chewy with red bean paste inside...Should these have been cooked? I wasn't entirely sure. I also got some mochi ice cream, it came with chocolate, green tea, and vanilla. It was ice cream wrapped in mochi from what I could tell. I can't wait to start putting these things in bento! Hope to be hearing from you all soon!

Neat magnetic containers from wal-mart!
Found these super neat containers at wal-mart for 4 dollars a peice yesterday. They screamed "BENTO" when i walked by. They are pretty small, but big enough for all my picks, and paper cups and some punches to fit in. They have a strong magnet on the back, and stick right to the side of the fridge for easy storage and display. I am in love with them! I found them in the desk/office area.
I also apologize for the lack of posts. I have been so busssy! I did get a new camera though, and I am trying to get motivated to take photos of my bento from now on. I am going to try doing them in a close up, then get the whole picture and collage them like so. Let me know what you guys think! Glad to be back.

A quick tour of 5 Cwmdonkin Drive - an exceptional
place to visit or stay
Front (best) Bedroom For most of the twenty three years that the Thomas family lived at 5 Cwmdonkin Drive the front bedroom was kept for 'best'. It was the show room of the first floor with views out to Cwmdonkin Park and it was where young Dylan first drew breath. |
Bathroom and WC An inside toilet was almost unheard of in Victorian times - the Thomas family even moved from a house in Sketty because there was no drainage - so having a separate inside WC must have been considered very 'posh' for the upwardly mobile family. In the separate bathroom Dylan watched his cigarette ash float on the steamy water. |
Dylan's Bedroom ….'My own room is a tiny renovated bedroom….. hardly any light, book-knife. No red cushion. No cushion at all. Hard chair. Smelly. Painful. Hot water pipes very near. Gurgle all the time. Nearly go mad. Nice view of wall through window. Pretty park nearby. Sea half a mile off…..Lunatic asylum mile off…..' |
DJ and Florrie's Bedroom The back bedroom was where Dylan's parents slept except when they had taken in a lodger. The back of the house was the warmest part and the bedroom was over the kitchen where the range was kept burning most of the time. |
The Front … That sea-town was my world; outside a strange Wales …moved about its business which was none of mine … beyond that unknown Wales …lay England which was London and the country called the Front, from which many of our neighbours never came back. It was a country to which only young men travelled. At the beginning, the only front I knew was the little lobby before our front door. I could not understand how so many people never returned from there but late I grew to know more, though still without understanding…. |
Parlour or Lounge (The best room) The 10ft high ceiling and full- length bay window add an extra feeling of space to this large room. The deep green wall colour together with stripped floor boards and William Morris curtains compliment the original features of the ceiling, fireplace and door. Apart from a chaise longue, the only seating is a three piece suite which is far more ergonomically friendly and comfortable than its modern equivalent. If you want sounds other than the grandfather clock ticking the wind up phonogram is in the corner waiting to entertain you. |
DJ's Study |
Washroom The Monday maid used to boil the water here and transfer it to the scullery where the washing was done - with no tumble drier clothes were dried on the clothesline of from the Aunt Sally above the range in the kitchen before being transferred to the airing cupboard. |
Coal House |

New geometric and functional analytic ideas arising from problems in symplectic geometry
Helmut Hofer
Mon, Oct 23, 2006
PIMS, University of British Columbia
PIMS 10th Anniversary Lectures Abstract:
The study of moduli spaces of holomorphic curves in symplectic geometry is the key ingredient for the construction of symplectic invariants. These moduli spaces are suitable compactifications of solution spaces of a first order nonlinear Cauchy-Riemann type operator. The solution spaces are usually not compact due to bubbling-off phenomena and other analytical difficulties.

Although Egyptian actress Donia Samir Ghanem [2]did not react upon the recent rumors that her wedding date was set for June 6, her fiancé Rami Radwan denied the news and stressed that neither he nor Donia have decided on the date until this point. [3]
According to the Middle East new portal Elaph, the rumor was widely spread over the internet, especially since Donia is not occupied with any project at the time [4]aside from filming the third sequel of the comedy drama "Al Kabir Gawi" (The Big Strong One).
Donia's first album will also see the light in the near future.
The couple has decided to keep the date of their big day a secret from the media and public, as was the case when they got engaged. They banned journalists and photographers from their engagement.
It is said that the couple will only invite their family members and close friends to the wedding and they will latr decide if they want to post any photos of the big event.

Alcee Hastings is a real class act. Yea right. http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/09/dem-leader-on-palin-anybody-toting-guns.html Heres a little bit about the "Honorable" Alcee Hastings. http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Alcee_Hastings_corruption_scandal Art
As sick as his statement is there are fortunately those (apparently not his audience though) who will shove that statement right back up his lower orifice from where it apparently originated. And "stripping" a moose??? What have I been doing wrong all these years with elk and deer?
Can you imagine for a minute the furor that would erupt if a white, conservative politician made the statement about Obama, "Anybody that would go to the church he did for twenty years don't care much about what they do to white Christians."
'Stripping' a moose?... Hey, whatever works for ya... Really, what a moron... Obviously, he believes everyone who owns a gun, carries one for self-defense or hunts is a raging racist hell-bent on genocide. The sad thing is that the audience seemed favorable to the comment.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
Triple-S Salud, Inc. ("Triple-S"), a Puerto Rico Health Insurance Administration ("PRHIA") contractor, filed a Form 8-K indicating that the PRHIA intended to impose a civil monetary penalty of $6,768,000 and other administrative sanctions stemming from a breach incident affecting 13,336 Dual Eligible Medicare beneficiaries. The breach incident occurred in September 2013 when Triple-S mailed to approximately 70,000 Medicare beneficiaries a pamphlet that inadvertently displayed the receiving beneficiary's Medicare Health Insurance Claim Number. In addition to the proposed fine, the Form 8-K indicates that sanctions include: suspending enrollment of dual-eligible beneficiaries; notification to all affected individuals of their right to end their enrollment; and implementation of a corrective action plan from PHRIA to prevent future breach incidents.
In an El Nuevo Dia article, PHRIA Executive Director Ricardo A. Rivera Cardona explained that the fine results from how Triple-S incorrectly handled sensitive information protected by HIPAA. The PHRIA and Triple-S contract imposes fines for HIPAA violations. Of the total fine, $100,000 is due to incomplete information provided by Triple-S to PHRIA in their investigation. Triple-S has 30 days to request an administrative hearing regarding the fine.
As to breaches affecting 500 or more patients, in addition to the September 2013 incident, Triple-S has reported two other incidents to the Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights. In September 2010, Triple-S reported a theft affecting the PHI of 398,000 individuals. In October of 2008, Triple-S reported a theft and unauthorized access/disclosure affecting the PHI of 8,000 individuals.
PHRIA's proposed civil monetary penalty falls well outside the settlement amounts and civil monetary penalty ("CMP") previously issued by OCR. Settlement amounts with OCR have ranged between $35,000 to $2.5 million. The only CMP issued by OCR pertained to Cignet Health in the amount of $4.3 million in 2011. The CMP pertained to allegations that Cignet Health blocked 41 patients from accessing their medical records between September 2008 and October 2009. The largest portion of the CMP ($3 million) was due to Cignet Health's refusal to cooperate in OCR's investigation.
Breach incidents continue to result in regulatory investigations and financial penalties. Enforcement activity is likely to continue to increase given OIG's November 2013 report regarding OCR oversight and enforcement of the HIPAA Security Rule. From the enforcement activity covered in 2013 blog posts, covered entities are learning that breach response does not stop at notification.

And here's our Q&A...

My Q&A with Peter Mayle
And here's our Q&A...
27 comments:
Dear Julie,
Well, thanks so much for providing us with this interview. I've read all of Mayle's books (except for the one about the "facts of life"; at my age, it's probably too late to get into the business).
In any case, he's just most GENIAL writer I can name (along with the extremely kind, similarly humane, and equally funny Allan Bennett).
I spent thirteen years in the parrot-fever hothouse of Literary Theory, where folks would DIE before saying such a simple thing, but?...I've always admiringly noticed that Mayles genuinely LIKES his characters. In a word...he's an extraordinarily genial writer...no wonder so many folks love his books.
I should add that I particularly relished his wry take-down of frowsy Ruth Reichl's enterprisingly uninformed and self-congratulatory critique (published a few years ago in the New York Times) of Provencal cooking. According to her, it doesn't exist...which was a markedly blunt, "Nothing Else Need Be Said By Anyone Else!" statement, even for her.
We stayed for a week in Menerbes last Summer. It was lovely, of course, but I should admit that (as I told my partner)I kept thinking, as we tromped around with our luggage and paraphrenalia, "Well, here we are.....ruining Peter Mayles's paradise along with four hundred other chattering tourists....".
Lucky you to have been able to interview him. thanks as ever for the good blog,
David Terry
www.davidterryart.coimI too say thank you Julie. What a lovely interview with a very delightful person. I've read quite a few of his books (I love Hotel Pastis) and several are in our bookshelf awaiting a second and third reading.
Peter sounds so content with his life - a goal we should all strive for I think. I believe the pace in Provence helps a great deal for the contentment whereas in the states everything is hurry, hurry, hurry and no time to appreciate your life or surroundings.
And I've made notes on his restaurant recommendations for our next visit. No pompous ones for us either.
Sam- Rikki ThompsonJuly 27, 2012 at 6:02 PM
Makes me want to come back to Provence even more...
What a nice blog session with Mr. Mayle...
Rikki Clever opening, Julie, and always wonderful to follow what is happening in Provence through your eyes. You know my heart has remained since that first photography workshop in 1983. I am happy I got to experience all the Mayle characters before he announced them to the world. In hindsight maybe I should have published my journals:)
Like you, Peter brings Provence to the masses in a lovely way. It is a gift shared and a glimpse into a life we all should strive for.
Can't wait to be back to Bonnieux in September with my workshop. Thank you for doing a post on that. Let's try one of his recommended restaurants then.- Jackie PRESSMANJuly 27, 2012 at 8:02 PM
Hi Julie - lovely blog. My favourite book is still "The Best of Everything" which isn't mentioned! Maybe it was called a different name in some countries? I still quote from it and love many of his comments and findings.
Didn't he also write about the various food festivals in France?
Love to you, Jackie - France Forever 24/7July 28, 2012 at 8:48 AM
Peter Mayle is so inspirational - how great that you were able to meet him. Life in Provence (Cote d'Azur)for me is indeed a dream come true!
ReplyDelete - Lisa L.July 28, 2012 at 3:15 PM
Bonjour Julie:
Thank you for writing this fantastic Q and A ! It gave me so much insight to Mr. Mayle's life and living in Provence. I am sure he is very, very pleased with your piece!
Keep up the truly wonderful work and compelling articles.
Lisa L.
NYC I just found your blog and I am so happy I did!! I'm a huge fan of Peter Mayle...wonderful interview. And speaking of interviews...I certainly enjoyed reading yours at Lost in Cheeseland. You seem like a very honest person with a great sense of humor. I love the way you describe Provence....with passion.

Dear Julie,
Thank you for this nice interview and presentation!!
I am from Romania and I only discovered mr. Peter Mayle's books in 2012 as it took time probably till they got here, were translated, etc. I was so charmed with his style and sun-like personality that I read all three books I found in the local library one after the other. And he gave me new forces to dream and to love life, more than before; my greatest wish is to find more of his books here or in other countries where I will travel to read them. He is a great personality and I appreciate his kindness to share with us many private aspects in such a humorous style.
I am so much proud to be living in the same century as him and hope he'll live happily a great many years from now on, to be an inspiration for us, his readers. Angelissa

Each week, Goal.com selects the standout performers from Europe's top leagues, honouring the best players eligible for Euro 2012
Euro 2012 Team of the Week EURO 2012 NEWS |
Salvatore SIRIGU
Paris Saint-Germain
& Italy
TOTW Apps: 1
Italy backup goalkeeper Sirigu will eager to stake his claim for a first-team berth at Euro 2012 after a good showing last weekend. The 25-year-old had a quiet night on Sunday as Paris Saint-Germain defeated Stade Rennais 3-0, but he was still tested on a number of occasions and rose to the challenge every time. |
Lukasz PISZCZEK Dortmund & Poland TOTW Apps: 5 |
Mats HUMMELS Dortmund & Germany TOTW Apps: 3 |
John HEITINGA Everton & Netherlands TOTW Apps: 1 |
Patrice EVRA Man. United & France TOTW Apps: 2 |
Borussia Dortmund right-back Piszczek demonstrated at the weekend why he is one of the best in his position as he turned in another world-class display for his side in the 5-2 DFB-Pokal final victory against Bayern Munich. He limited the threat of Franck Ribery throughout the match, forcing the Frenchman to move to the opposite flank, and was also very active in his attacking duties. Germany international Hummels had a disappointing start to the match against Bayern in the cup final as he played Mario Gomez onside before the Bavarians scored their first goal, but he redeemed himself from then on, clearing Philipp Lahm's shot off the line and scoring from the penalty spot. Everton defender Heitinga had a match to remember on Sunday as a he played an important role in Everton's 3-1 victory over Newcastle, helping to set up Nikica Jelavic's goal with a long ball before he nodded home from close range. France left-back Evra put in a commanding performance in Manchester United's 1-0 victory against Sunderland, looking comfortable at the back while giving a helping hand to his team-mates in attack whenever he surged forward. |
BLASZCZYKOWSKI Dortmund & Poland TOTW Apps: 1 |
Luka MODRIC Tottenham & Croatia TOTW Apps: 1 |
Ivan RAKITIC Sevilla & Croatia TOTW Apps: 1 |
Mesut OZIL Real Madrid & Germany TOTW Apps: 3 |
Poland captain Blaszczykowski was in impressive form in the DFB-Pokal final, setting up Shinji Kagawa for the opener before he won the penalty which Hummels converted. Tottenham midfielder Modric started out on the left in Tottenham's 2-0 victory against Fulham, but it was when he was moved to the centre that he was able to show his true colours, controlling the flow of play to help ensure Spurs finished fourth in the Premier League. Modric's Croatia team-mate Rakitic turned in a solid showing in Sevilla's 1-1 draw against Espanyol as the 24-year-old assisted Alvaro Negredo and also played his part to keep the Catalans away from Andres Palop's goal. Real Madrid attacker Ozil confirmed his excellent form going into to the Euros with his Man-of-the-Match performance in Los Blancos' 4-1 thrashing of Mallorca. The German ace was all over the pitch and he grabbed a double in the second half before he almost assisted Gonzalo Higuain for a fifth goal. |
Robert LEWANDOWSKI Dortmund & Poland TOTW Apps: 2 |
Jonathan WALTERS Stoke & Ireland TOTW Apps: 1 |
Goals, goals, goals. This is what Poland international Lewandowski has been all about this season, and the 23-year-old grabbed a hat-trick in the DFB-Pokal final as he made the most of the limited number of chances he had. The striker was also involved in Kagawa's opener. Stoke City striker Walters picked up a double in his club's 2-2 draw against Bolton, taking full advantage of Adam Bogdan's horrible mistake in the opening quarter before he slotted home from the penalty spot to send the Trotters down to the Championship. |

It is automatically configured out of the box to give you optimal protection with limited
interaction so all you need to do is install it for immediate and ongoing protection.
Spyware Doctor's advanced IntelliGuard technology only alerts users on a true Spyware detection.
This is significant because you should not be interrupted by cryptic questions every time you
install software, add a site to your favorites or change your PC settings. Such messages can
be confusing and lead to undesirable outcomes such as inoperable programs, lost favorites or
even Spyware being allowed to install on the system. We've done the research so you don't have to.

I'm no pro, but with a cam that big(I assume 236*@.050" lift) it should have an intake closing point about 70* ABDC giving a dynamic compression around 8-8.1:1 if I'm not mistaken. I'm figuring its got 4.030" bore, 0.039" gasket?, stock deck?, piston .025" in the hole? to get about 10.5:1CR. It should run ok without detonating if my math is correct? How well it runs in a truck is another story. I sure wouldn't recommend towing anything!
ssmonty |
I figured with .041 head gasket thickness (the good ol' Felpro 1003) and got static CR of 10.29. Using 284 advertised duration and 106 LSA (specs from Isky's website) gives an intake closing point of 68* ABDC and an 8.05 dynamic CR, so this agrees pretty closely with ssmonte's figures. With a stock deck height of .025 and these thicker gaskets your quench will be .064 or .066. That would make it more detonation prone, so might need some timing pulled out. With the stock deck height but built with the thinner .015 shim gasket for a better quench, I get a static CR of 10.98 and 8.59 dynamic CR, which is pretty high for pump gas, there's a good chance it would need some timing pulled out. If the block was 0 decked with this combo your static CR would be 11.7 with a 9.13 dynamic CR, I wouldn't run that on pump gas.
With a setup that isn't "coming on" til 3000 it'll need a pretty high stall converter and lower gearing or it will be a pooch on the street. And then it'll need a good-sized tranny cooler to make it live. As ssmonte pointed out, towing anything with this setup will be a real exercise in frustration. A more street friendly combo would have been to use an 18-cc D-deck dish piston with a shim head gasket for a tight quench, your static CR would be right at 10:1. With this combo something like an Isky 270 Mega cam would put your dynamic CR at 8.21, should run great on 92 octane and be much more street friendly, especially if you're running a stock converter with your 3.42 gears.

those "magic dynamic compression calculators" aren't worth NEARLY as much as everyone gives them credit for. 11:1-ish in a heavy truck with a highway gear (assuming 28" or taller tires) is going to have problems running on pump gas. With some very good efi controls you can get away with it but I wouldn't want to risk it on a carbed engine with a mechanical dizzy. Knock it down to 10:1 and while you still need a good tune it is MUCH more doable. And to think that extra point of compression and all of the headaches it brings is only worth about 12hp under perfect conditions... |
Yea I agree. Too much of a headache.
I started out by looking at crate engines on ebay and then I found a whole truck for about the same price as the crate engine. The more questions I asked about it though from the owner and you guys leads me to think I'll pass on it. I'm in the same boat with a motor that I already have all the parts to put together that I was asking about in another thread. 350 4 bolt that is .030 over with 4-valve relief flat tops and 64 cc double humps. Fresh with screw in studs, guide plates, and Z28 springs good to about .550 lift (I think). By my calculations, I'm gonna be over 10 to 1 with a zero deck height and thin head gaskets to get some quench. And from what I've read it's more prone to detonate with more deck height and a thicker gasket because then there is room for the gas to run off to the side of the flame and detonate. Is this the case? |

Posted by ESPN.com's James Walker
In this week's visit to the film room, we check in with Scouts Inc. to break down Monday's intriguing matchup between Washington Redskins tailback and NFL leading rusher Clinton Portis and the Pittsburgh Steelers' top-ranked defense.
Here is comprehensive film analysis from Scouts Inc.'s Keith Kidd:
"This should be a great matchup between Clinton Portis and the Steelers' front seven that is allowing only 71.6 yards per game. Outside of New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, Portis has been unbelievable this season and is on pace for an MVP year. He is running with a lot of confidence, excellent vision and speed as a one-cut downhill runner in the Redskins' power-zone running schemes. He is very dangerous as a cutback runner, which will place a lot of pressure on the Steelers' gap control and discipline within their system. Defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau will attempt to force quarterback Jason Campbell to attack through the air by shutting down the Redskins' running game with his multiple 3-4 attacking schemes. The Steelers linebacker core is extremely talented led left outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley and right outside linebacker James Harrison, who do a great job of setting the outside edges. And don't forget about strong safety Troy Polamalu who continues to play at a Pro Bowl level, too, especially against the run. In the end, I am going with the Steelers' front seven in this matchup because Portis is banged up, and he's going against a very physical Steelers defense that excels against the run."

Levuka is a town on the eastern coast of the Fijian island of Ovalau, which is one of the Lomaiviti Islands.
Levuka today has a population of about 3000 people. The town was the capital of Fiji from 1874 until 1883 when the capital moved to Suva. Levuka was designated an historic town in 1989 and was inscribed to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2013.
Ovalau Island is a lush tropical volcanic island of about 100 square kilometers surrounded by large coral reefs. It is the main island of the Lomaiviti Group which is made up of the islands of Namena, Makogai, Koro, Wakaya, Batiki, Nairai, Gau and Ovalau. The islands are the peaks of deep-sea volcanoes that became extinct millions of years ago.
Get in[edit]
AIR: Northern Air Services fly to Levuka daily from Monday to Saturday, departing Nausori (Suva) Airport at 8.00am for the twelve minute scenic flight to Levuka. They then return to Nausori at 8.40am. Bookings can be made on line or by phoning +679 9958162. FJ$75.00 one way
The airstrip, approx. 40 minutes from the town, is on the western side of the island and is serviced by a local bus**.
SEA: Patterson Brothers shipping (Ph: 3315 644, firstname.lastname@example.com) has a daily bus and ferry service from Suva to Levuka. The trip takes 4.5 hours, and is recommended for its experience.
Get around[edit]
You can't hire bicycles anymore unfortunately, but walking around the island can be great. Alternatively, hire a taxi for the day to drive you round. You could always try hopping on a 'carrier' (a pick-up truck/lorry with benches and a tarpaulin covering it) but beware, these don't run to a schedule so you may end up stranded if you're not careful!!

Go next[edit]
Levuka is a great base to explore Ovalau Island or some of the surrounding islands.
Epi's midland tour is a good one. Epi leads you up, and then down into the volcanic crater to visit a small village called Lovoni. Ask for Epi in Levuka, he's not hard to find.
Bobo´s Farm located on a riverbank surrounded by rainforest in the Rukuruku Valley on the west side of Ovalau. If you want to experience the real rural Fiji, fun, adventures and the sound of the jungle at dusk in a warm welcoming Fijian hospitality.
Silana Village Silana offers Fijian hospitality in modern comfortable bure accommodation. On the beach, 3 minutes walk from the village, but close enough to become part of the village, sharing their meals and way of life.
Caqalai Island Take a daytrip to Caqalai, a beautiful coral island run by the Methodist Church and offering simple bure accommodation. White sandy beach all around the island, with good snorkeling just a few meters offshore.
Leleuvia Island Larger but just as beautiful as Caqelai, Leleuvia offers day trips as well as great value overnight facilities. Transportation to Leleuvia is available from both Levuka and Suva.
Lost Island is located on the island of Yanuca Lailai, south of Ovalau Island. Its an uninhabited 72 acres big, volcanic rock, limestone island with an amazing nature. The coastline with mangrove, volcanic rock cliffs and beaches surrounds an abounded jungle. Its totally off the main tourist track and its a hiding place to get away from the busy world and live a "Robinson Crusoe". Daytrips or bures for overnight stays.
