American Beauty (R)
Reviewed by Robert Heckert on September 2, 2018
According to the book Thinking Fast and Slow, it doesn't take much for us to think something is good. A psychologist ran a study at the University of Michigan and Michigan State University that placed Turkish words (or Turkish sounding words) in the newspapers of each school. For several weeks, words such as kadirga, saricik, biwonjni, nansoma, and iktitaf showed up on the front page. When students contacted the newspaper to figure out what was going on, they were told that the person who paid for the words declined to comment. Some words showed up more often than others, and after the test ran its course, students were given a questionnaire asking them, "What words sound good and what sound bad?" The words that showed up the most were rated as sounding good, while the words that didn't show up as often were rated as sounding bad. The experiment replaced the words with shapes and symbols, ran it at different schools, and got the same results.
Thinking Fast and Slow broadened my understanding of the word meditation; it's not just an intense focus of the will reserved for scripture and old texts, but simply giving something attention often. It doesn't matter if it's a few minutes of thought or hours of study each day — it's still meditation. Looking at the Nike billboard every day on the way to work and meditating on scripture are the same thing. In both scenarios, the thing we look at is on our minds a lot, and we think it's good as a result.
This has huge implications for our spiritual lives. When I was in high school I would commit a number of habitual sins (I was a high schooler, use your imagination — or maybe you shouldn't). When I first started practicing them, I felt bad. Over time, though, I stopped feeling remorse and shame. I told myself that I didn't feel bad because I was numb to the sin I was doing, but after reading Thinking Fast and Slow, I don't think my problem was any level of numbness. I realize now that I had thought about the sin and committed the sin so often that, like the words in the student newspaper, the sin I was committing had inexplicably transformed into something good. To put it another way, I thought my sin was no longer actually sin — my sin had become a virtue and it was good for me to do bad.
It's disconcerting to think that if we gaze at something often enough, our minds will think it's good, our hearts will desire it, and our bodies will put it into action, but Paul was already aware of this in Philippians 4:8:
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Our perception of goodness is easily corrupted, but it can also be redeemed if we think about and meditate on the things listed above.
American Beauty asks us to consider what we meditate on and how it forms what we love. Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey) has meditated on the American Dream for most of his adult life, and doing so has made him think that this dream — with its promise of control and contentment through material wealth — is good. His only problem is that in pursuit of this dream he's lost something that made him feel… Better? Happier? Confident? Satisfied? He's not sure, but he realizes that the Dream doesn't exist. He nearly has everything taken away from him until he learns to meditate on the proper things, and through its use of color symbolism, American Beauty shows us what those proper things are.
Although Lester can't pinpoint it, he's lost his sense of control. He realizes he can't make his wife Carolyn (Annette Bening) and daughter Jane (Thora Birch) like him. Nor can he will his boss to keep him. Before work, he watches as Carolyn prunes her roses and chats with their neighbor Jim Olmeyer. Jim sports a purple tie and is the boyfriend of Jim Berkley (more on the importance of the couple and the color later). "How do you get your roses so red?" Jim asks, and Carolyn shares her technique. Neighbors have these types of polite conversations every day, but within Carolyn and Jim's conversation is the idea that they can control the beauty of the roses to "get" them to suit their tastes. Jane Burnham also saves three thousand dollars for breast augmentation surgery, believing she can increase the level of her own beauty as well. This belief applies to every aspect of their lives, including their careers and their family. They believe that once they've adjusted everything to suit their preferences and desires, they'll be happy and content.
The idea that they can force beauty to do their will is rather tyrannical, but they're not alone. The commercials, motivational speakers, and co-workers that surround the American people have promised each of them that they can be in control and thereby be content.
Yet Lester begins to realize he'll never achieve such control as he sits at work and tries for the millionth time to get ahold of an advertising executive. He sarcastically asks the secretary on the other end, "Does he, does he even exist? I'm starting to think he doesn't." The ad man he's trying to reach might not be real — just as the American dream and its promises of control and contentment might not be real. It recalls the Wizard of Oz, in which Dorothy and Co. realize the mythical wizard is actually just an ordinary man incapable of controlling much of anything.
Lester then meets with Brad, the company's efficiency manager, who tells Lester he needs to justify his value to the company because they're in a tight spot financially. Brad doesn't care that Lester's been with the company for fourteen years. He only cares about figuring out who to fire so he can accomplish his job. From Brad's suit, to his office, to the computers, the scenes at work are saturated in blue, which symbolizes the cool, passionless reason that only cares about order and profits.
Carolyn hasn't had a much better day either. She spends her time cleaning a house she's trying to sell and repeating the mantra "I will sell this house today." No one is impressed with her or the house though, and the scene ends with her talking to two women who are disappointed with the pool. "This is just a concrete hole." Reason crushes another Burnham's attempt at control, and both husband and wife arrive home angry.
Instead of learning to give up their desires for control, the Burnhams spend their time seeking new ways of gaining the control they've lost. Carolyn's solution is to meet with another realtor, Buddy "The King" Kane (Peter Gallagher), at a dinner, so he can teach her how to sell more and therefore be content with herself.
Lester's solution is to simply get drunk at the dinner. He meets Ricky Fitts (Wes Bentley), who works there as a server. Ricky also happens to be the Burnham's next-door neighbor and a schoolmate of Jane's. The two smoke weed in the alley when Ricky's boss suddenly opens the back door of the kitchen, casting a yellow light into the alley.
The yellow light pouring from the dinner is the color associated with those pursuing worldly goods and trying to stay in control, yet Lester and Ricky have removed themselves from the party and have stepped into the dark alley. Black is more ambiguous, but the alley is associated with the fringes of society and symbolizes the unknown. Lester is just beginning his venture into the unknown, but Ricky often wears black, showing that he has already embraced it.
Rick's boss threatens to fire him for slacking off, and Ricky says, "I quit. Stop bothering me." His boss slams the door and retreats back into the light. Lester says, "I think you just became my hero." Lester admires the ease with which Ricky severs his connection, and the apparent freedom it brings. He wants to be untethered from his responsibilities so he can indulge his desires rather than repress them.
In A Defence of Rash Vows, Chesterton writes that this type of untethered freedom doesn't exist because everyone is a lover of one thing. A man is bound to whatever it is he loves; he can hop from loving one thing to another, but he's never free from loving. For Lester, vocational success made a boring lover, so his new love becomes Jane's best friend and fellow cheerleader, Angela Hayes. He can't take his eyes off her during a halftime performance and imagines rose petals fluttering out of her clothes as she undresses for him.
Lester's fantasies are associated with red, symbolizing passion and the desires of the flesh (note that the Burnhams' bedroom is devoid of red). The environments and clothing of Lester and Carolyn are both blue and red, revealing that they suffer from excesses of reason and passion. Alone, the rigid order of blue and the unmitigated passion of red don't offer much contentment — in fact, they're pretty destructive. The film suggests that contentment is found not by getting rid of one or the other, but by unifying the two, and that's why the purple tie of Jim Olmeyer is so important.
Jim Olmeyer and Jim Berkley are the only ones associated with purple because they embody the synthesis of reason and passion perfectly. As an openly gay couple, they needed passion and courage to reject the rigid norms of late 90's suburbia. Yet as domestic partners, they stay faithful to a set of rules that guide and order their relationship.
Lester doesn't go after this balance right away. After blackmailing his company, unleashing his repressed anger on his family, beginning to smoke weed, and working out, he thinks he's finally free from the middle-class rat race. It's true that he has removed himself from the corporate world, but he's not free from discontentment and he's still grasping at control. Ironically, he wears a yellow shirt and yellow Walkman as he jogs, revealing that he has become just like the people professes to hate — the businessmen bathed in yellow at the dinner.
At the beginning of the film, the Burnhams go their separate ways to seek contentment, but their door is red and their shutters are blue, suggesting that contentment is found in their home—they just need to return home, appreciate it anew, and work towards synthesizing reason and passion.
Lester finally understands the need for the balance between passion and reason when he nearly has sex with Angela. The realization that she's a virgin shocks him out of his lustful desires; he uses his reason to subdue his passion and redirect his interest towards his family. Although he seems to have synthesized head and stomach, he doesn't wear purple. He dons a black and white jacket because things are clearer for him — literally "black and white." He's no longer distracted by Angela Hayes (haze, get it? She obscures his sight and draws it away from what he should be looking at). Lester has stopped lusting after Angela and has begun to desire closeness with his family again. He asks Angela, "How's Jane?" which is a simple but important question, because he's meditating on his family again and beginning to love them anew.
He then picks up a black and white picture of his family, places it in front of a vase of roses, and stares at it, reenamored with them. Holding the picture in front of the roses is another simple but important gesture. It illustrates the principle that the desires of the appetite may never go away, but he can resist the temptation by meditating on his love for his family rather than on his lust. This gesture also demonstrates the movie's tagline "Look closer." It acts not only as the movie's tagline but as an exhortation for the audience. As Lester holds the picture he notices details that he had previously missed. I think the intent of that phrase is to get people to notice the nuance of something. Perhaps a better phrase would be "look longer."
Gazing at an image for a long time can be pretty boring, but boredom seems to be an integral step towards appreciating something anew. Boredom is necessary because it indicates a dissatisfaction with the current state of things. For instance, Lester was bored with his family, so what's he supposed to do? He can move on to a diversion like Angela (which will inevitably lose its thrill) or continue gazing at what's in front of him and asking more questions about it.
As Lester looks at the picture I imagine he is asking himself, what was Jane like back then? What's she like now? Why did she choose to wear that jacket? What made her so excited in the picture? What changed? Looking longer means asking questions about whatever's in front of you so can discover more about it. Once we do that, we notice details that we would have missed, and ideally, the object of our gaze suddenly becomes re-infused with wonder and excitement.

THE BIGGEST LOSER returns to NBC tonight with a new episode. On tonight's show contestants compete in a fun cooking challenge with last season's kid Ambassadors and White House nutrition expert Sam Klass. Did you watch last week's premiere episode? We did and we have a full and detailed recap, right here for you.
On last week's show it was Halloween at the ranch, and that meant a pumpkin challenge and the contestants' first temptation of the season. Off the players went into a field of 100 pumpkins filled with candy treats, cash prizes and a winning ticket giving one lucky player one of the biggest prizes ever awarded in a challenge – immunity for their whole team. Later, one trainer brought a special group of people to work out with his team, while another trainer had a heart-to-heart talk with a contestant about their challenging childhood. We got to catch up with last season's child ambassador, Biingo, to see how his life – and the lives of his family members – had changed since he was on the show.
On tonight's show aast season's kid ambassadors Biingo, Lindsay and Sunny return to the ranch and are joined by the White House Senior Policy Advisor on Nutrition, Sam Kass, for a fun cooking challenge with the contestants. Well aware that kids are often the toughest food critics, the red, white and blue teams race against the clock to prepare a nutritious and tasty dish that will be a hit with the kids – and earn the winning team members an incredible prize. Also this week, one team works out with a very special and inspiring group of women who have survived or are battling cancer. Later, it's time for the weigh-in and saying goodbye to another contestant.
RECAP: Now the red team and White team are now down one player each, it goes to all three teams sitting together; Tanya talks about how they've had big losses with Ruben and Fernanda going, Tanya's upset with Ruben leaving because of how committed he was to losing weight and wanting to eat healthy. Craig agrees that Ruben was a strong competitor and that it's sad to see that he's left the Biggest Loser camp, Rachel believes that Ruben was the light in their team and hopes the red team is able to stay strong without him. Dolvette knows that the red team could use some more motivation, he brings them to a group of cancer survivors who are working out trying to stay healthy, and he wants to show that if these individuals can do it then the red team can. The woman who's the leader of the cancer survivor group says that many people have been touched with it and she wants those who survive it to live healthy after it; David mentions how his wife died of cancer, that he's seen his wife take her last breath and he even had to tell his daughters the bad news when it happened. David finds it incredible what these ladies are doing; it inspires him to workout hard today with them. They begin with jumping jacks, Rachel says that they're going to take this motivation and use it to win this week; that they're ready for it. Tanya talks about how much of a beautiful spirit that was felt during the workout, she mentions how what they're fighting threw during the workouts isn't as bad as those who are going through chemo therapy; which means that have no reason to complain. It turns out that today it's not about exercise, it's about nutrition; there as a special guest is the nutritionist at the White House, today is going to be a cooking challenge. Tanya feels that she's very confident with cooking; Holley is intimidated by this because she's no confident with how well she'll be able to do competing against the others. Last season's three child ambassador's show up showing much progress in their weight loss and health. All of the kids are prepared to be very blunt and honest with the food they make, since they'll be the taste testers. They've got thirty minutes to make a dish, it'll be graded on taste and healthiness; the winner of the challenge will get $5,000 worth of groceries for a year. The challenge begins, Holley takes a second to strategize about what they're going to do they decide to do a quesadilla because It's something that everyone likes; with fresh fruit and kale chips. The red team is going to do an around the world kind of dish with making several different meat pita things along with Greek yogurt and fruits. They mention how they're focusing on using healthy ingredients, and making them taste well. Holley begins cutting the vegetables for the blue team, getting them ready. There are three minutes left to cook everyone is getting ready to plate their dishes before time runs out, they all made it in time. Now it's time to judge the food. The red team present their dish, which is only 380 calories it seems like they did pretty well. White team show their quesadilla with kale chips, all of them are quite impressed by it. The blue team present their quesadilla and Bingo really liked it. Sam Kass was impressed with all their meal, he brings up that the kid ambassadors are great. Sam believes that the blue team had the best dish; they were able to get Bingo a young man who hates vegetables to eat more of it. The blue team win again, Hap is extremely happy with winning the challenge. After the challenge Jennifer wants to talk to Bingo and his mother to speak about her daughter and how to make changes within the family to lose weight and become happy. Bingo brings up some golden advice about not having any junk food in the house so there is no temptation; Bingo's mother then says if she doesn't bring in bad food then her family won't be getting it. Bingo's mother believes that Jennifer can do it; Jennifer is excited to go home and share what she's learned in the Biggest Loser camp. The white team are swimming and working out, Craig mentions that the blue team still has a save and none have their team mates have left. Craig is having a hard time with swimming, because he doesn't know how to swim and he's afraid of water. Jillian says that she wants Craig to face it and win this competition; he needs to conquer his fear in swimming. Craig knew that Jillian really wanted him to do it after she jumped in the water, Craig talks about how his father passed away when he was ten; he wants to become the father his father wasn't able to be. Craig begins to swim and conquer his fear to show that he really wants this, way to go Craig you did it like a man. Craig is really showing progress and he's grateful for how Jillian helps push him.
Dolvette tells the team that Tanya isn't going to be making it to the workout today, she's sick and can't get out of bed; Dolvette wants everyone to pull it through, Rachel is worried that Tanya isn't at the workout. They need to win this weigh in, Bob tells the blue team that they can't rest even though they've been winning the challenges; they need to prove there's a reason why they keep winning the challenges. Chelsea is surprised with how much stronger she's gotten, she can notice the difference compared to when she arrived. The blue team are working hard. The red team are also working hard, to make up for being one team member down; they're on fire and I hope that this time they win. Tanya talks about the problems she had this morning that she could barely move and walk; she mentions how the red team lost Ruben, she goes to the gym and workouts more. All the teams enter the weigh in room and prepare themselves, last week Jillian broke the rules and gave caffeine supplements to her team without telling the doctor; now everyone on her team will have a handicap on their weight loss, Ruben will be coming back next week. Jillian is very sorry for this; she's upset because this only affects her team. Bobby gets on the scale from 317 pounds he is 297 pounds, Holley lost 19 pounds, Hap lost 15 pounds, Chelsea lost 13 pounds and Mat lost 21 pounds. Craig gets on the scale from 350 he is now 336 pounds, Marie gets on the scale from 225 she is now 213, Jay gets on and loses 13 pounds, Tumi lost 13 pounds. The red team get on the scale; David lost 13 pounds, Jennifer loses 12 pounds, Tanya gets on the scale from 239 pounds she is now 224 pounds, Tanya is happy that she's finally lost weight it's about time honestly. Rachel gets up onto the scale from 216 pounds she is now 198 pounds. This week the red team wins, looks like the white team has lost tonight, Craig is going to be going home. Craig says that no one should feel bad for him, that everyone's going to have their time. Craig lost 49 pounds while being at the Biggest Loser camp, now he's been given the strength to do anything. Craig says that the next time America sees him they will see a happier and healthier Craig.

"Every day I spend so much time in front of a glowing screen that sometimes I forget I possess five bodily senses and not just one or two. Making art makes me conscious of my hands again," writes Elise Wehle in her artist statement. The repetitive action of folding an cutting makes her creative process a sort of meditation — a way to cultivate a sense of being present in the moment.

Take a look at some of her work below.

It seems someone around the White House recently told George W. Bush about vetoes—a tool he never once used when Republicans ran both houses of Congress. Last year's arrival of Democrats, at least in name, on the Hill appears to have changed that. Thrilled with his sharp new veto pen, it seems Bush has his tricycle all oiled up for a 15-month joyride. His most noticeable piece of road kill to date, victim of veto number four, is the bill to fund health insurance for children of lower-income families—and let's forget, for the moment, why they're low income, or why their parents don't have similar rights to healthcare.
The bill, which Congress passed last week, expands a child health program which currently serves 6.6 million poor kids. The expanded program will offer healthcare to approximately 10 million uninsured children, including those whose working parents don't receive health insurance from their employers and don't qualify for Medicare. The bill funds the program for the next five years at a cost of approximately $7 billion per year. By comparison, according to a study commissioned by the American Friends Service Committee, that's roughly how much the Iraq War costs us every 11 days.
The veto means the program, instead of expanding, dies—like a sick child without healthcare. The Bush White House had earlier proposed an alternative plan which would have limited the number of children covered and initiated a one-year waiting period before children with no healthcare could join the program. Little Johnny, I guess, just needs to learn patience. Children need to understand the value of cancer treatment—they can't have everything handed to them the moment their doctors want it.
Vetoing healthcare for kids fits right in line with the man who once comically mocked a death row inmate's pleas for mercy before signing her death warrant. It's just one more small piece of fodder for those who argue that Bush is psychotically sadistic. Sick children should pay for their own healthcare just like everyone else—there's no free ride for the lazy here in America. In vetoing the bill, Bush argued that it was fiscally irresponsible and a move toward socialism.
So let's start with the socialism argument: Healthcare for poor sick kids is the forbearer of a red menace lurking just around the corner. But the socialism of publicly funded highways, police forces and US military bases in over 50 countries is cool. And so are subsidies to rich corporations and bailouts for greedy bankers. It's pretty simple—the feds can subsidize Exxon-Mobil when they search for oil to sell to us at record-breaking prices, earning more profits than anyone has ever before in history. That's okay. Money for kids' healthcare, however, means the jackboot of Bolshevism is stamping down upon us.
Then there's the issue of fiscal responsibility. Seven billion dollars a year for kids' health is irresponsible—this from the administration that just surpassed the New Deal's expansion of government. The only difference is that the New Deal gave us social services, rebuilt the economy and created real jobs and a real future for the nation. The Bad Deal, by comparison, is just giving us a police state, insane endless wars and environmental devastation (ever look at the environmental impact of the US military?) while making us more and more vulnerable to violence, disease and an environmental holocaust.
Let's look at where Mr. Fiscal Responsibility's government is spending our money. We can start with $141 million per year for abstinence education programs. Journalist Barbara Ehrenreich recently reported in The Progressive that one program training teachers in abstinence education tells them that they should "Bring to class frozen waffles and a bowl of spaghetti noodles without sauce" to use as visual aids. The program goes on to explain how "research has found that men's brains are more like waffles" while "women's brains, on the other hand, are more like spaghetti." Get it? Little Johnny has to keep his johnson in his pants, cause, well, waffles and spaghetti don't mix, sauce or no sauce. It's then up to his Sunday school teacher to make the more difficult argument that waffles shouldn't bone waffles either, and spaghettians will burn in hell. That's $141 million for some really confused kids—who, by the way, according to a congressionally mandated study, are no more likely to be abstinent then kids who learned about the birds and the bees instead of waffles and spaghetti.
That $141 million is still less than the $146 million that the Government Accountability Office reports high-ranking officials, particularly those working for the Ashcroft-Gonzales State Departments, spent upgrading their taxpayer-funded plane tickets to first class.
And of course there are all the smaller "brushfire" wars around the world we must fund, such as "Plan Colombia," with a price tag of $1 billion a year. Most of this money goes directly to that oppressive regime's military, ostensibly to fund the "War on Drugs." Bush's drug czar, John Waters, however, recently, in an interview with the Associated Press, said operations in Colombia "have had little impact on the flow of cocaine on American streets." The War on Drugs, like the War on Terror, or any future wars such as a War on Persnickety Journalists, is as endless as the human rights abuses and misappropriations of federal funds that they justify. Of course, US funding for Colombia's military pales in comparison with the $91 billion American taxpayers have spent to prop up the Israeli military and government since that nation's 1949 formation.
The granddaddy of all boondoggles is, however, that great black hole we continue to shovel money and lives into—the war against Iraq. Using numbers from the Congressional Research Service and the Congressional Budget Office, The American Prospect magazine estimates the total cost of the Iraq war, including expenses such as caring for those wounded veterans lucky enough to get federally funded care, will total out at $1.27 trillion. This figure, which amounts to over one thousand billion, needs to be written out. It's $1,270,000,000,000, or $4,233 for each and every person alive in the US today.
Where is this money going? An Inspector General's audit found, for example, that it's quite common to come across stacks of "bricks" comprising crisp, new $100 bills piled up in the offices and living quarters of US officials in Iraq, where multimillion dollar government "contracts" are often paid in cash. With US dollars going from the printing press straight to the streets of Baghdad, it's no wonder the greenback has fallen in value lower than Canada's "looney" for the first time in over a generation. It's even falling against Cuba's peso. Way to go, George!
This is all good sound policy, however. It's healthcare for children that's going to bankrupt us. If we don't stand up against the little tykes today, they'll be ruling our country tomorrow.

Here's a surprising fact: The Boston Celtics' season is more than halfway over. Time flies when you're having fun, right?
That depends on who in the organization you ask, but the facts are the facts: The Celtics enter Monday night's game against the Dallas Mavericks with 41 of 82 regular season games under their belt.
As it stands now, the C's are on pace to finish the 2015-16 season with 44 wins, which would mark their first winning season since 2012-13.
But before we get ahead of ourselves, let's take a step back and examine the best and the worst from what was an eventful first half on Causeway Street.

Treatment of single and multiple recessions following orthodontic
Gingival recessions are a possible complication after orthodontic treatment and are characterized by resorption of buccal or lingual bone, followed by apical displacement of soft tissues. They can occur both in the maxillary and mandibular arch and may negatively influence the possibility of performing adequate oral hygiene and impair aesthetics. In certain cases, due to difficulties in performing proper oral hygiene, subsequent inflammation may occur. Gingival inflammation coupled with the pull of strong frenula and/or muscles may lead to further attachment loss, pocket formation and even endodontic complications. Such cases are most frequently located in the mandibular frontal area and their treatment represents a major challenge for the clinician. Recent data from our group indicate that the use of the Modified Coronally Advanced Tunnel (MCAT) or the newly introduced Laterally Closed Tunnel (LCT) may result in predictable coverage and increase in tissue thickness at single and multiple gingival recessions providing also long-term stability up to 8 years. The aims of the presentation are:
To provide an overview about the diagnosis and the various factors (e.g. patient related factors and surgical factors) that may influence the outcomes.
Based on case presentations and surgical videos to illustrate the MCAT and LCT for the treatment of single and multiple recessions associated with orthodontic therapy.

The coast of the southern Mediterranean yields a rich bounty of fish that's prepared in numerous ways. One constant in Morocco, however, is the use of chermoula, a combination marinade and spice rub. It typically contains an acid-based marinade (we used lemon juice) and a spice rub made from black pepper, cumin, coriander, and paprika.
To prepare marinade, combine first 5 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag; add fish to bag. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 45 minutes. Remove fish from bag; discard marinade.
To prepare spice rub, combine coriander and the next 5 ingredients (coriander through salt) in a medium bowl. Rub fish with spice mixture to coat.
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the fish; cook 6 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Garnish with lemon wedges and cilantro, if desired.
This is a great recipe! I would make this again. I made a mint, cucumber, ginger yogurt sauce to go with it and it complimented it perfectly.
Very good fish recipe. Great complexity of flavor, especially given the ease and timeliness that it's prepared. Great weeknight meal, and good enough for guest. Yum!
This was excellent. I used Mahi Mahi and followed the recipe exactly. It wasn't too spicey. Served it with a salad and bread. Will definitely make again!


Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamps, commonly known as "duck stamps", are produced by the U.S. Postal Service for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Originally created as federal licenses for hunting migratory waterfowl, Federal Duck Stamps are also popular as works of art. A current Federal Duck Stamp is also acts as a valid entrance pass into National Wildlife Refuges.
According to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, ninety-eight cents of every dollar generated by the sales of Federal Duck Stamps goes directly to purchase or lease wetland habitat for protection in the National Wildlife Refuge System. Since 1934, the sales of Federal Duck Stamps have generated more than $750 million, which has been used to help purchase or lease over 5.3 million acres of waterfowl habitat. Land acquired becomes part of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's National Wildlife Refuge System.
In addition to waterfowl, many forms of wildlife benefit from the sale of Federal Duck Stamps. A wide range of bird, mammal, fish, reptile, and amphibian species are found in wetland habitats. An estimated one-third of the Nation's endangered and threatened species live or visit refuges established using Federal Duck Stamp funds.
Refuge properties provide limited hunting opportunities. Outdoor enthusiasts use refuge lands to hike, enjoy bird watching, and explore nature. Protected wetlands also help purify water supplies, store flood water, reduce soil erosion, and provide spawning areas for fish and other aquatic life.

Hotels - Hospitality professional
First, I would like to introduce myself.
I stepped into the hospitality world assuming the role of Chief Engineer at the Garden City Hotel in New York, an iconic Long Island landmark since 1874, with 272 rooms, multiple restaurants, conference facilities and a spa. This experience laid the foundation for my successful career in property and hotel management.
Moving from Long Island to the heart of Manhattan, I transitioned into a founding member of HK Hotels in 2002. As Executive Vice President I oversaw the development, opening and operations of 6 properties over a 15 year span in New York and Prague. Here, I was responsible for all aspects of the pre-opening from design, to construction, to coordinating the opening with the property supporting and operations teams. The luxury properties varied between 50 rooms and 103; The 100 room Wales Hotel, 103 room Elysée Hotel, 50 room Casablanca Hotel, 60 room Library Hotel, 73 room Giraffe Hotel and 52 room Aria Hotel in Prague all became premiere boutique hotels in NYC and Prague.
After HK Hotels, I joined the Gansevoort Hotel Group. A young and dynamic company that had the vision to develop its first property in New York's Meatpacking District. The hotel became the company's flagship and led to a complete renaissance in the area. As part of the Executive team, I was instrumental in searching, developing and opening new properties. A further 3 properties were added to the Gansevoort portfolio; The Gansevoort South in South Beach, Florida (a half billion dollar project, multi-outlet urban resort with 320 rooms and 250 apartments). Further expansion included the ultra deluxe Gansevoort Turks & Caicos (with 96 rooms and spa on Grace Bay Beach). The latest opening in 2010 was the 249 room Gansevoort Park in Midtown, New York City. All properties are now globally established, thriving financially and remain stable.

Would you recommend Just Landed to a friend?
I agree @liveink. I also love the landing page. It's simple, to the point, and looks great.
Really? Its a little chrome-heavy for me—and I'm pretty anti-iOS 7-style minimalism. I mean, there's like six type sizes on one screen on this app. That being said, looks like a great little app. I wish I could get my mom to use it for when I come home.

If you are looking for cooler bag to pack food, lunch box, Coca-Cola, we could help you.
The most popular cooler bags were made in non woven fabric and polyester fabric, comparatively, the polyester cooler bag is more better against dirt, however the non woven cooler bag is more cheaper and in lighter weight. in a certain degree, cooler bag not only help to keep warm, but also can protect inside items from broken in case of dropping, as there is one layer of thick Aluminum foil material inside.
The cooler bag can be supplied in different shapes, with one long shoulder or one or two short handles, you can carry or take it on shoulder. the size can be designed differently to suit different items which you plan to put inside.

BLACK MASS (USA/UK/15A/122mins)
Directed by Scott Cooper. Starring Johnny Depp, Joel Edgerton, Benedict Cumberbatch, Dakota Johnson, Peter Sarsgaard, Jesse Plemons.
THE PLOT: We open on former members of Boston crime boss James 'Whitey' Bulger's notorious South Boston-ruling Winter Hill Gang confessing all to their captors, their stories launching the flashbacks to the 1970s and 1980s – and a spectacular rise and fall. We open on Bulger's Irish-American operation competing with their Italian-American counterparts, a murder lighting the spark just as the crime boss' old childhood friend, John Connolly (Edgerton), approaches him with an FBI offer that's hard to refuse. In return for information on how to bust the Italian-American mafia in South Boston, Whitey and his gang will get protection. And so it goes, and goes, until the inevitable greed and sense of entitlement on both sides of the law starts to put a strain on all those within a 50-mile radius. The fact that Bulger's brother (Cumberbatch) is a state senator.
THE VERDICT: With his blockbuster days now firmly behind him – how many flops has it been now? – Johnny Depp wisely retreats to his old character actor roots with 'Black Mass'. Looking far more like Hunter S. Thompson – especially the Garry Trudeau version – than Boston baddie Smiley Bolger, Depp nonetheless delivers here. And the Elvis effect works in his favour. The complexities of a man who was both a vicious thug and a Robin Hood suits our leading man's current limbo state off-screen, Depp caught between the aftermath of over-exposure and bad blockbusters, and the uncertainty that he will ever be able to reclaim that hard-earned credibility the actor had built over twenty years. Before shaking hands with Jerry Bruckheimer.
The fact that Depp is playing a truly fascinating character here helps, Bolger being one of those American anti-heroes who, despite living a life of crime and brutal violence, ended up being a cool t-shirt.
Directed by Scott Cooper – who gave us the one trick pony that was 'Crazy Heart' – Black Mass hits all the expected notes, the American true-life gangster pic being pretty much a solid gold blueprint at this point. The fashion, the cars, the soundtrack, the grey-haired mum, the hurt hottie girlfriend, and so on. Nothing wrong with a good formula, of course, and everyone here plays to their strengths, especially Joel Edgerton as Whitey's good-cop-goes-bad-cop partner-in-crime, John Connolly. The South Boston accents all suck though.
