- If you have time to do it the night before, put the orange zest and juice in a bowl with the sultanas. If you don't have time, on the day simply stir the zest, juice and sultanas together and microwave on Medium for 1-2 mins.
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and grease and line the base and sides of a 2lb loaf tin. Whisk together the oil and eggs. Mix together the sugar, flours, mixed spice, cinnamon and bicarb in your largest mixing bowl. Add the sultanas with any juice and zest left in the bowl, grated carrot, walnuts and whisked egg mixture into the dry ingredients, then thoroughly mix with a wooden spoon. Tip into the loaf tin and bake on the middle shelf for 1 hr, or until a skewer comes out clean. Cool the cake in the tin.
- Once cool, remove from the tin and make the icing. With an electric whisk, beat together the soft cheese, butter, icing sugar and cinnamon until smooth. Spread over the top of the cake and decorate with walnut halves.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, June 2010
Comments, questions and tips
I'm new to baking and wasn't sure which soft cheese to use for the frosting. I chose Mascarppone but with hindsight I think that made it a little too rich so I will probably use something else next time. Cake was absolutely delicious, my husband said it was as good as you get in high street coffee shops.
This is a lovely moist recipe!
I didn't make the frosting because I felt there was enough sweetness/calories in the cake recipe and it was not missed.
Made a double mix, the first cake was taken to my mum's for a family afternoon tea. The texture of the second one was unbelievably even better the next day.
My teenage kids were not keen when I told them it was 'carrot' cake but they couldn't get enough once they had tried it!
This is another 'GoodFood' addition to our family favourites list and I will probably use this recipe for the next scouts cake sale.
I love this cake! I sometimes bake this in a lined 9" square cake tin, it cuts into nice deep squares, and freeze it without the icing. It makes a brilliant warm pudding with either Greek yogurt or custard - a great standby! I also freeze individual slices from a loaf tin. Wrap in paper towelling and defrost in the microwave gently for 1 minute - instant tea and cake for unexpected visitors - and it's as fresh as the day it was made.

Digital Youth Portrait: Sam (Transcript)
Sam: I'm Sam. I'm a fifteen year old girl and digital media is my second life.
Hello. I am Sam. Sam I am. If it's a school day, I spend just two hours on the computer. If it was not a school day, I'd probably spend twelve hours or more on World of Warcraft, MySpace, listening to music while I draw or yeah.
Teacher 1: Good. First thing we're gonna look at today is the bone from every angle.
Sam: My typical day is I wake up at six thirtyish. I check my text messages and then get dressed and go to school.
Teacher 1: There you go.
Aline: Samantha's an excellent student. She is very smart. She's on the honor roll, does well at school, off the charts in math.
Teacher 2: Now mezzo forte.
Aline: And, you know, she's very musical.
Sam: I enjoy very little piece of band. I like listening to the music and how we progress and the songs we make for our concerts.
John Murray: Sam is a creative girl. She, when you give her a project or an assignment, she thinks outside the box.
Sam: Hello, Plutonians. Today's weather is going to be a high of two hundred thirty six degrees Celsius.
John Murray: She is always using all sorts of multimedia technology to create projects.
Sam: What is Pluto's mass?
John Murray: Always doing something different than the rest of the group.
Sam: Correct! Now isn't that just great? For one of my school projects, I had to read a book and it was really boring. I didn't really understand half of it, so I saw that you can buy the book on the iPod and it reads it to you, so you can like listen to the book.
Digital voice: Squire Trelawney, Dr. Livesey, and the rest of these gentlemen, having asked me to write down--
Sam: And plus, it scrolls and you can read it on it, instead of just holding a book. My first life would be me with my friends and like going outside and riding my bike and taking care of my foster puppies. Drawing, painting, music and all that. Digital media is my second life because when I'm on the computer, I can really like do whatever I wanna do. I can create whatever I wanna create and I can be a different person if I want. That's me. That's another one of my characters. I play World of Warcraft with all my friends. See, this is my team and right now, we have the flag. That's what that icon means.
Aline: World of Warcraft is a pretty interesting game in that it's one of those multi user online games. So there's other people in there from other parts of the world.
Sam: Our team has the flag and they're bringing it to our base to get a point.
Aline: You have to work with other people to do this, and so they're learning teamwork.
Sam: Right now, I'm going to defend the flag with an ice trap. That means if someone steps on that ice trap, they will freeze.
Aline: And they're problem solving. They're using the different tools within the system to problem solve. So I think it's very educational in that way.
Sam: I like this, 'cause it's competitive and it's really using strategy in your mind, and it's not like clicking on something and it's killing for you. It's like, you have to use your own mind and figure stuff out your way.
Aline: Samantha is very much intrigued with technology. She was not the kind of female child that was drawn to dolls. She just has always wanted to be on the computer, playing with technology, and is comfortable with it.
Sam: And action.
Courtney: Let's go to the kitchen, girls.
Sam: When I was a little kid, I was handed a video camera for the first time. And, action. I'm kind of into directing, you know. I've don lots of videos with my friends and I'm usually like telling them what to do, what to do with their faces, taking the scenes. How about you do it over here?
Tiffany: Sam is creative, one of the most funniest people I know and she's just cool in every single way possible. What does she have to say?
Sam: "To make it from scratch." And then you be like, "Betty Crocker style."
Courtney: She's a little bit more advanced with technology. She's taught me a lotta stuff about it. She's really smart.
Sam: So do you want this first clip or do you want the second clip?
Courtney: The second one looks more professional.
Sam: Awesome.
Courtney: Betty Crocker style.
Sam: I text more than I call people. Like no one calls anyone anymore. If you wanna get hold of someone, you have to text them. Right now in my in box, I have one hundred and fourteen and it's ninety nine percent full.
Dave: Sam's definitely learning social skills and able to connect to more people that way, and she's definitely learning future work skills as far as learning applications and programs and just learning how to manipulate the software.
Sam: My method of learning new software is really trial and error. If something doesn't work out, I just go back and try something else, and then just explore it until I figure out what I'm doing.
Aline: Or just go to the Second Life-- I develop online education for Northern Illinois University, and I was asked to help students build a microfinance game simulation. Most of my students are college students and don't have a lot of graphical background or multimedia game development background. So I said, "Well, you know, Samantha knows how to do this. If you need an extra hand, she can come in and help you."
Sam: Then I can take this one and I edit the object, so the top would close in to make it look like a different shape. I hit taper.
Student 1: Oh, so you can manipulate. Okay, I got ya.
Sam: And I made it flexible, so that it would move.
Ken Tinnes: Yeah, I just wanna change my clothes and appearance in the open sim.
Sam: Go to your inventory and click create at the top.
Ken Tinnes: You know, I can understand how my parents feel now, you know, taking advice from a younger person, but I'm pretty impressed. I kinda wish I knew some of this stuff when I was thirteen. Probably help me out a lot now.
Sam: Then you can be a guy if you want.
Ken Tinnes: Nice.
Dave: Sam just picks up on technology so easy. She'll just explore the application or the laptop and the cameras and just spend all day at it, just having fun.
Sam: Yes, that was me. I am Sam. Sam I am. So this is the end of the video, so... I saw this link for a virtual piano. It shows you what note to hit. And I would write down the notes on the piece of paper. Then I'd go downstairs and I would practice it.

Abraham Lincoln – Vampire Hunter?
Abraham Lincoln a vampire hunter? This may well be the most unusual book I'll review on Wig-Wags. The good folks at Grand Central Publishing recently sent me an advance review copy of New York Times best selling author Seth Grahame-Smith's new book, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. I'll put it into a genre of historical/fantasy/horror.
The story puts lost journals of Abraham Lincoln into the hands of an undiscovered writer. I have to say that I intended to just peruse the book a bit before this initial posting. Forty pages later, I realized I should probably put it down and get back to that paper I was writing. In other words, it is a good read. An added plus is that it has a fair amount of historical fact weaved in.
Now lest you think of dismissing Grahame-Smith's book, note that the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum (March 6, 2010) and the Smithsonian (March 9, 2010) will host author appearances, the latter a panel. What's compelling is that Grahame-Smith may reach new readers and there is some real history amidst the fantasy.
According to the Library's press release, "Abraham Lincoln was a fan of macabre literature, particularly stories and poems written by Edgar Allan Poe, and had committed Poe's The Raven to memory. Lincoln dabbled in poetry himself, and his verse mimicked Poe's dark themes." To explore Lincoln's poetry, I recommend the National Park Service site, Lincoln's Notebook and the entry Matthew Gentry featuring a poem about the future President tells of a childhood friend gone insane.
According to the Library's press release,
Lincoln also wrote an anonymous narrative published in the Whig and the Sangamo Journal in 1846, "Remarkable Case of Arrest For Murder," about a real murder case where the alleged victim appeared with amnesia in the courtroom just before the defendants, the Trailor brothers, were to be sentenced to death for murder. In the narrative, Lincoln admitted "while it is readily conceived that a writer of novels could bring a story to a more perfect climax, it may well be doubted, whether a stranger affair ever really occurred. Much of the matter remains in mystery to this day." The ALPLM has the original letter that Lincoln wrote to Joshua Speed on June 19, 1841 describing the incident that he recounted five years later for the Whig.
Listen to a podcast about the book posted at the ALPLM here.
Grahame-Smith is also author of the wildly successful Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

I've always thought that, with the beard, Lincoln would make more sense in a Wolfman story.

Cheers: To Jim Hoegh, of Sunbury, who is heading to Utah to compete in the BUB Motorcycle Speed Trials in the Bonneville salt flats just west of Salt Lake City. Hoegh will be riding a Confederate Hellcat motorcycle, seeking to best his personal record of 162.6 mph and may set the class record of 169 mph on the five-mile course.
Jeers: To the state lawmakers who passed a thinly veiled voucher program that provides government-sponsored scholarships for students to "escape" failing schools. Because the scholarships provide less than the cost of educating students in public schools, no local school district will accept students under the program. A survey of private of schools found that the region's Catholic schools and Hillside Christian Academy near Mifflinburg plan to accept students through the program. Low-income Midd-West High School students and Grace Beck and Chief Shikellamy elementary students in the Shikellamy School District are eligible for the scholarships.
Cheers: To Northumberland Borough Councilman Greg Carl, who stuck with his vision of establishing Liberty Splashland as a destination rather than just another community pool. The effort to move and install the 45-foot high tube slide proved to be a struggle, but for the youngsters who lined up to give the slide a whirl, it seemed worth it.
Cheers: To Sam Allen, 15, of Lewisburg, and the aptly named 13-year-old River Mertz, of Montandon, who won the state championships in their age divisions in the Pennsylvania Bass Federation junior championships held on Lake Augusta over the weekend. As state winners, they both qualified to compete in next year's world championship on the Red River in Shreveport, La. It was the first time since 2009 that Valley anglers won both age divisions. Allen and Mertz hooked their prize-winning catches in the area north of the Barry King Memorial Bridge leading into Northumberland.
Cheers: To the Point Township police officers who responded and allegedly confirmed the account provided by two girls in foster care who accused a Luzerne County man of spying on them in the shower of his recreational vehicle. Court documents show that caseworkers had wondered if the girls were trying to manipulate the system by making a false allegation, but the officers found a 10-inch by 12-inch hole containing a see-through mirror that was hidden behind a picture.

Washington County delegation members said Tuesday they want more advocacy on legislative issues from the Hagerstown-Washington County Chamber of Commerce.
Four legislators — Del. Andrew Serafini, R-Washington, Sen. George Edwards, R-Garrett/Allegany/Washington, Del. LeRoy Myers Jr., R-Washington/Allegany and Sen. Christopher Shank, R-Washington — were at the morning breakfast meeting at Hager Hall, the first in a series of prelegislative meetings with local groups the delegation held throughout the day.
At least two of the legislators said they wanted more advocacy and involvement from the chamber when it comes to legislative issues.
"I don't feel that we have the cooperation, and I am going to be very blunt this morning, of the chamber. I don't think we are on the same page. I wish we could get there," Myers said.
He asked for chamber officials to be present at some of the meetings at Annapolis. Myers suggested that the lobbyist hired by the local lobbying coalition should be present at the weekly meetings of the Washington County delegation during the session.
Myers said one of his priorities would be the revitalization of downtown Hagerstown.
Shank, too, asked the chamber to do more.
"We need you to show up, we need you to testify, we need you to write, we need you to email," Shank said.
In the past, Shank said, when the delegation has asked for support on specific issues, the response from the chamber has been weak and indecisive.
He said he would like to hear from the chamber directly about specific bills and issues.
Brien Poffenberger, president of Hagerstown-Washington County Chamber of Commerce, said after the meeting that "we saw this as really healthy dialogue. We are excited, we are happy ... we are happy that the delegation shows up ... is able to attend meetings with us and we look forward to working together with them."
When asked about the criticism from some of the legislators, Poffenberger did not answer directly, saying "we are really looking forward to working with them."
Serafini, the chairman of the county delegation, said it was important to have open and honest conversations and work out differences.
"...because when we go to Annapolis we have to speak in one voice," he said.

Whenever I go under any VOD catergory like "new releases", it's sort of like picking out what you want from a scattered pile of books in the library. They should be listed alphabetically. Wouldn't that make sense and make life a little easier?
I agree
On a related note, I'd like the ability to see my existing episode titles alphabetically, within a series main heading. I've had as many as 150 episodes of a series recorded and it's been a pain to go through the list to delete unwanted duplicates (repeats intentionally not excluded from my series options). Thanks.
Or how about the ability to choose how we want to sort the titles? Let's see....alphabetically, by release date, etc. I prefer the alphabetical listing, the same way DVDs used to be displayed at Blockbuster.
Other than that though, I have to admit that overall, Verizon Fios is a great product and I think it's distinctly better than cable. The graphics are pleasing and fun to work with and I enjoy having access to more information that I couldn't otherwise access from the cable.
In Video on Demand, please list movie options as words, not just as DVD box artwork. Many of your customers can actually read English and might prefer to zip down a written list quickly.
At the very least, give customers the option to toggle between the DVD covers and simple titles.

[throttling Dillon]
Dutch: You set us up. It was bullshit, all of it.
Dutch: If it bleeds, we can kill it.
Dutch: [the Predator pulls off his mask] You're one... *ugly* motherfucker!
Dutch: Come on... Come on! Do it! Do it! Come on. Come on! Kill me! I'm here! Kill me! I'm here! Kill me! Come on! Kill me! I'm here! Come on! Do it now! Kill me!
Dutch: Get to the Chopper!
Sergeant Mac Eliot: You're ghostin' us, motherfucker. I don't care who you are back in the world, you give away our position one more time, I'll bleed ya, real quiet. Leave ya here. Got that?
Poncho: You're bleeding, man. You're hit.
Blain: I ain't got time to bleed.
Poncho: [Confused] Oh... Okay...
Poncho: [Poncho shoots a bunch of grenades up to the top of the cliff] You got time to duck?
Billy: I'm scared Poncho.
Poncho: Bullshit. You ain't afraid of no man.
Billy: There's something out there waiting for us, and it ain't no man. We're all gonna die.
Blain: Son of a bitch is dug in like an Alabama tick.
[after Dutch has nailed a guy to the wall with his knife]
Dutch: Stick around.
The Predator: Anytime.
Dutch: What's got Billy so spooked?
Sergeant Mac Eliot: Can't say, Major. Been actin' squirrelly all morning. That damned nose of his... it's weird.
Dutch: What is it? Billy? What the hell is wrong with you?
Billy: There's something in those trees.
Dutch: Do you see anything?
Billy: Up there ahead.
Dutch: Nothing. What do you think?
Billy: I guess it's nothing, Major.
Blain: Bunch of slack-jawed faggots around here. This stuff will make you a god damned sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me.
Poncho: [holds up his grenade launcher] Yeah, strap this on your "sore ass", Blain.
Poncho: Major, you'd better take a look at this.
Dutch: Did you find Hawkins?
Poncho: I... I can't tell.
Poncho: She says the jungle... it just came alive and took him.
Dillon: Look, we've been looking for this place for months. My men were in that chopper when it got hit! Hopper's orders were to go in and get my men and he disappeared.
Dutch: He didn't disappear. He was skinned alive!
Dutch: What happened to you, Dillon? You used to be someone I could trust.
Dillon: I woke up. Why don't you? You're an asset. An expendable asset. And I used you to get the job done, got it?
Dutch: We're a rescue team. Not assassins.
[after knocking a door down]
Dutch: Knock-knock.
Dutch: [lying on the ground after being hit by Predator shoulder cannon, he motions to Anna] Run! Get to the chopper!
Blain: Payback time.
Anna: When I was little, we found a man. He looked like - like, butchered. The old woman in the village crossed themselves... and whispered crazy things, strange things. "El Diablo cazador de hombres." Only in the hottest years this happens. And this year, it grows hot. We begin finding our men. We found them sometimes without their skins... and sometimes much, much worse. "El cazador trofeo de los hombres" means the demon who makes trophies of men.
Sergeant Mac Eliot: [to Blain's corpse] Here we are again bro... Just you and me. Same kind of moon same kind of jungle. Real number 10 remember... Whole platoon, 32 men chopped into meat... We walk out just you and me, nobody else. Right on top huh? Not a scratch... Not a fuckin' scratch. You know who ever got you. They'll come back again. And when he does I'm gonna cut your name right into him... I'm gonna cut your name into him!
Lyrics: Gonna tell Aunt Mary about Uncle John. Claims he has a-misery but he has a lot of fun. Oh, baby. Ye-e-e-es, baby. Whoo-oo-oo-oo, baby. A-havin' me some fun tonight. Yeah. Well, Long Tall Sally, she's built sweet. She got everything that Uncle John need. Oh, baby. Ye-e-e-es, baby. Whoo-oo-oo-oo, baby. A-havin' me some fun tonight. Yeah. Well, I saw Uncle John with bald-head Sally. He saw Aunt Mary comin' and he ducked back in the alley. Oh, baby. Ye-e-e-es, baby. Whoo-oo-oo-oo, baby. Havin' me some fun tonght. Yeah. A-whoo!
[Dutch is talking to the General]
Dutch: So why don't you use the regular army? What do you need us for?
Dillon: 'Cause some damn fool accused you of being the best.
[Dutch turns around and sees Dillon sitting in a chair in another room]
Dutch: Dillon! You son of a bitch!
[They arm wrestle in mid-air during a handshake, Dillon is apparently losing the contest]
Dutch: What's the matter? The CIA got you pushing too many pencils? Huh? Had enough?
Dillon: Make it easy on yourself, Dutch.
[Dillon begins to lose further]
Dillon: OK, OK, OK!
Dutch: You never did know when to quit, huh?
Dillon: Damned good to see ya, Dutch.
Dutch: What is this fucking tie business?
Dillon: Aw, come on, forget about my tie, man.
Dutch: Hey Billy, give me a way out of this hole. Aerial says we are cut off.
Billy: The only way outta here is that valley that leads to the east. But I wouldn't risk that on a broke-dick dog.
Dutch: Not much choice.
Dutch: [Dillon is losing at arm wrestling] What's the matter? The CIA got you pushing too many pencils? Huh? Had enough?
Dillon: Make it easy on yourself, Dutch.
[begins to loose further]
Dillon: OK, OK, OK!
Sergeant Mac Eliot: [whispering] I see you!
Dutch: [Dutch approaches and grabs the shoulders of the prisoner who has spoken nothing but Spanish since her capture] Yesterday, what did you see?
Dillon: You're wasting your time.
Dutch: [to Anna] No more games.
Anna: I don't know what it was. It...
[surprised look on Dillon's face]
Dutch: Go on.
Anna: It changed colors, like the chameleon, it uses the jungle.
Dillon: You saying that Blain and Hawkins were killed by a fucking lizard? That's a bullshit psyche job. There's two to three men out there at the most. Fucking lizard.
Dutch: [Takes out his knife] What's your name?
Anna: Anna.
Dutch: Anna, this thing is hunting us. *All* of us. You know that?
[Anna nods, and Dutch cuts her bonds, setting her free]
Dutch: He came to get the body. He's killing us one at a time.
Billy: Like a hunter.
Dutch: [looks up in awareness] He's using the trees.
Sergeant Mac Eliot: Long Tall Sally, she built sweet, she got everything, that Uncle John need. Aw baby, I'm gonna have me some fun, I'm gonna have me some fun, I'm gonna have me some fun.
Dillon: Dutch, the General's sayin' that a couple of our friends are about to get squeezed, and we can't let that happen. We need the best. That's why you're here.
Dutch: Go on.
Dillon: Simple setup. One-day operation. We pick up their trail at the chopper, run 'em down, grab those hostages and bounce back across the border before anybody knows we were there.
Dutch: Whaddya mean "we"?
Dutch: Bleed, bastard.
Dutch: [Last Lines] What the hell *are* you?
The Predator: What the hell are *you*?
Dillon: Goddamn jackpot. This is more than we ever thought we'd get. We finally got those bastards. We got 'em.
Dutch: She's your baggage. You fall behind, and you're on your own.
Billy: I don't believe he did; I can't find a single track.
Dutch: What about the rest of Hopper's men?
Billy: There's no sign, sir. They never left here. Hell, it's like they just disappeared.
Dutch: He's killing us one at a time.
Dutch: My team works alone, you know that.
Major General Phillips: [seeing the explosion] My god.
Dutch: My men are not expendable. And I don't do this kind of work.
[Anna reaches for a gun]
Dutch: Leave it. He didn't kill you because you weren't armed - No sport.
Blain: You lose it here, you're in a world of hurt.
[after Anna escapes from Dillon]
Poncho: Maybe you better put her on a leash, Agent-man.
Dillon: Hold it Dutch, I'm going after Mac.
Dutch: That's not your style, Dillon.
Dillon: I guess I picked up some bad habbits from you, now get your people the hell out of here.
Dutch: You can't win this Dillon.
Dillon: Maybe I can get even.
[Dillon walks away]
Dutch: Dillon.
[Dutch throws a machine gun to Dillon. They look at each other, knowing this is probably goodbye]
Dillon: Just hold on to that goddamn chopper.
Dutch: [to Dillon] So you cooked up a story and dropped the six of us in a meatgrinder?
Sergeant Mac Eliot: Hey Dillon.
[Dillon comes over and sees Mac motion to the trees]
Dillon: [Mac takes a blade puts it on Dillon's back, Dillon spins around, his gun aimed but then sees a scorpion on the end of the blade] Thanks!
Sergeant Mac Eliot: [pause] Anytime...
Dutch: Yesterday, what did you see?
Dillon: You're wasting your time.
Dutch: No more games!
Anna: I don't know what it was. It...
[surprised look on Dillon's face]
Dutch: Go on.
Anna: It changed colours, like the chameleon, it uses the jungle.
Dillon: You saying that Blain and Hawkins were killed by a fucking lizard? That's a bullshit psyche job. There is two to three men out there at the most. Fucking lizard.
Sergeant Mac Eliot: Goddamn! Shew. Buddy buddy-buddy-buddy-buddy. I've seen some bad-ass bush before, man, but nothin' like this.
Blain: I hear ya. This shit's somethin'. Makes Cambodia look like Kansas.
Sergeant Mac Eliot: Hey, que pasa, amigo? Little taste of home.
Blain: You lose it here, you're in a world of hurt.
Hawkins: Billy. Billy! The other day, I was going down on my girlfriend, I said to her, "Jeez you got a big pussy. Jeez you got a big pussy." She said, "Why did you say that twice?" I said, "I didn't."
[Billy stares blankly]
Hawkins: See, cuz of the echo.
Dutch: [examining Blain's body] No powder burns. No shrapnel.
Dillon: The wound's all fused, cauterized. What the hell could have done this to a man?
Billy: [looking at Pancho after being hit by a log] He's busted up pretty bad, Major.
Poncho: [in pain] I can make it! I can make it.
Dutch: [directing his team into the jungle] We move, five meter spread, no sound.
Hawkins: Hey Billy. Billy! The other day, I went up to my girlfriend, I said, "Y'know I'd like a little pussy". She said, "Me too, mine's as big as a house!"
[Billy stares blankly]
Hawkins: See, she, she wanted a little one 'cause hers was...
[Hawkins pauses, then trails off]
Hawkins: ... big as a house.
Poncho: Not a thing. Not a fucking trace. No blood, no bodies... We hit nothing!
Dillon: [after a trap seemingly fails to attract the predator] So, what are you gonna try next? Cheese?
Dillon: That's a real nasty habit you got there.
Poncho: [Seeing the body of the pig that almost killed Mac] Jesus, you killed a pig... think you could found something bigger?
Sergeant Mac Eliot: [Billy laughs loudly] Fuck you Poncho! Fuck you!
[first lines]
Major General Phillips: You're looking good, Dutch.
Dutch: It's been a long time, General.
Major General Phillips: Come on inside.
Dutch: This cabinet minister: does he always travel on the wrong side of the border?
Major General Phillips: [pause] Apparently they strayed off course. And we're fairly certain they're in guerrilla hands.
Dutch: Who's our backup?
Dillon: No such thing, ol' buddy. This is a one-way ticket. Once we cross that border, we're on our own.
Dutch: This is getting better by the minute.
Dillon: I don't know, Dutch. This is inhuman.
Blain: Come on in, you fuckers. Come on in. Ol' Painless is waitin'.
Dutch: You still don't understand, Dillon, do you? Whatever it is out there, it killed Hopper, and now it wants us.
Anna: Déme el arma. Déme el arma! Give me the weapon!
Dutch: Mac, Any sign of the other hostages.
Sergeant Mac Eliot: Found the other hostage he's dead too. If these guys are Central Americans then I'm a God damn Chinaman. from the looks of things our Cabinet Minister was CIA. Another thing Major those other guys you waxed were Russian Military Advisors... something very big was going to happen here.
Dutch: Good Work Mac. Don't leave any trail, clear the area, and get rid of all the other evidence.
Sergeant Mac Eliot: Righttt.
Sergeant Mac Eliot: I know one thing, Major, I drew down and fired straight at it. Capped off two hundred rounds in the minigun, full pack. Nothing... Nothing on Earth could've lived. Not at that range.

'Vision becomes Reality': Opening of the London Muslim Centre
Fri 21 May 2004
`On a national scale, the LMC will be the standard bearer for quality, inclusiveness and innovative ideas. Acting as a resource for Muslims, it will meet their needs and aspirations at a social, economic, cultural and spiritual level.'
The long-awaited London Muslim Centre is set to open formally on Friday 11th June 2004. The London Muslim Centre (LMC) will be the largest purpose-build dedicated Muslim information and cultural centre in Western Europe. The LMC has a rich history with its parent The East London Mosque (ELM), proudly tracing its roots back to Georgian London. Established in 1910, the East London Mosque is today one of the busiest mosques in the United Kingdom and a familiar landmark in London.
Inaugurated by HRH Prince Charles and HRH Prince Muhammad al-Faisel on 23 November 2001, the LMC is set to deliver a wide range of services, to members of all faith groups, paving the way for greater community cohesion and to help the community to be at one with itself in order to participate pro-actively in enhancing the vibrant, multi-cultural, and multi-ethnic makeup of London. It is this commitment to wider public engagement that continues to be at the heart of the new London Muslim Centre.
It is one of the most significant developments of the Muslim community towards offering operational services and making strategic contributions. On a national scale, the LMC will be the standard bearer for quality, inclusiveness and innovative ideas. Acting as a resource for Muslims to meet their needs and aspirations at a social, economic, cultural and spiritual level, The LMC will also become a valuable resource for voluntary and statutory agencies and the wider community as a whole. It will continue to engage with domestic and international audiences to promote a better understanding between Britain's diverse communities.
The funding of the LMC is a ground-breaking partnership involving the European Development Fund, the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, the Greater London Authority and many other organisations and bodies. It has enjoyed unprecedented support from ordinary Londoners and, indeed, from across the whole of the UK, who donated over £4m of the total cost of £10m.
The six-storey multipurpose centre, which is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, will provide a range of services and provisions that are currently piloted in partnership with the East London Mosque. These services are organised through integrated projects grouped under five key areas:
Education & Training
Social Welfare
Culture and Heritage
Economic Development
The planned facilities will include the following:
Prayer capacity for up to 10,000 worshippers
Reference library and media suite
Research, development and publications centre
Educational provisions: secondary school, language and Shari'ah (Islamic Law) institute, open learning resource, adult & youth evening & weekend schools, and training. Muslim women's enterprise
Cultural advice centre and Islam Awareness
Purpose-build fitness gymnasium for men, women, elderly and the youth
Healthy living & community health promotion
Multi-purpose halls for events and conference
Permanent exhibition concourse and arts & crafts
advice, counselling and advocacy
Information computer technology suite and media training
Ramadan community radio & social programme
Enterprise and business development
Capacity building for Muslim organisations.
The Launch
The Imam of the Holy Ka'ba in Mecca, Shaykh Abdur-Rahman al-Sudays, will lead the Friday prayers where 10,000 worshipers are expected. Formal programmes will take place on the same day with local, national and international dignitaries. Celebrations will go on throughout the weekend with women's programmes, community conferences, exhibition and tours, children's street fair and entertainment on Saturday 12 June, and an Open Day for people of other faiths on Sunday 13 June. The three days will be a celebration for everyone!
A full colour glossy A4 brochure to commemorate the launch of the LMC is currently being produced. The brochure will contain editorials, testimonies and storyboards, along with advertisement from sponsors. It will be distributed nationally, free of charge, and we expect a readership of approximately 150,000.
We in the MCB
team wish this courageous and visionary project every success!

Matt Dillon was born on February 18, 1964, in New Rochelle, New York. Spotted by a talent scout while cutting class, Dillon went on to star as a delinquent in S.E. Hinton films; including Rumble Fish and The Outsiders, both directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Dillon has played comedy in There's Something About Mary and drama with an Academy Award nominated performance in Crash.
Aspiring Actor
Actor Matthew Raymond Dillon was born on February 18, 1964, in New Rochelle, New York. A veteran performer, Matt Dillon has tackled a variety of roles in both dramatic and comedic films. He got his first break when he was fourteen years old. A talent scout spotted him hanging out in a hallway at his junior high school. Dillon was cutting class at the time. Soon after this fateful encounter, he landed his first film role.
Making his debut in Over the Edge (1979), Dillon played a teenager who lives with his family to a planned community outside of Denver. His character—like the other teens in community—had little to do and nowhere to go. In response, he acts out in all sorts of ways with some dire consequences. Critics hailed the mostly teenage cast's realistic portrayal of youthful angst and frustration. Unfortunately, the film received little promotion and quickly disappeared from movie theaters.
Teen Heartthrob
With his next role, Dillon quickly became one of the most popular teenage heartthrobs of the 1980s, joining the ranks of Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett and others. He appeared in Little Darlings (1980) with Tatum O'Neal and Kristy McNichol. As part of a bet, the two young women try to become the first to lose their virginity while at summer camp. McNichol ends up accomplishing this task with Dillon's character.
That same year, Dillon co-starred in My Bodyguard (1980) with Chris Makepeace as a high school bully. The tough guy role wasn't too far from his real life at the time, according to Dillon. He told People magazine that "I used to get in a lot of fights." The same article went on to explain how the teenage Dillon was receiving as much as 200 fan letters a day and had a 5,000-strong fan club at the time.
Dillon played the title character in Tex (1982), an adaptation of a popular young adult novel by S.E. Hinton. In this family drama, Tex and his brother Mason are two teenagers who basically left to fend for themselves since their rodeo cowboy father is practically never home. Meg Tilly played Tex's girlfriend and Emilio Estevez appeared as her brother. For his work in the film, Dillon earned many positive reviews, with critic Robert Ebert calling his performance "complicated and convincing."
Working with director Francis Ford Coppola, Dillon starred in two other film adaptations of S.E. Hinton novels. He co-starred with many up-and-coming stars, such as Patrick Swayze, Ralph Macchio, Rob Lowe, Tom Cruise, Emilio Estevez and C. Thomas Howell in The Outsiders (1983). In this film, set in 1960s Oklahoma, he played Dallas Winston, the leading member of a gang of poor teens known as the Greasers.

The Stone is a forum for contemporary philosophers and other thinkers on issues both timely and timeless.
To say that we can target individuals without incurring troop casualties does not imply that we ought to.
Amid this discussion, we suggest that an allegory might be helpful to illustrate some of the many moral perils of drone use that have been overlooked. It shows that our attempts to avoid obvious ethical pitfalls of actions like firebombing may leave us vulnerable to other, more subtle, moral dangers.
While drones have become the weapons of our age, the moral dilemma that drone warfare presents is not new. In fact, it is very, very old:
Once upon a time, in a quiet corner of the Middle East, there lived a shepherd named Gyges. Despite the hardships in his life Gyges was relatively satisfied with his meager existence. Then, one day, he found a ring buried in a nearby cave.

EatingWell recommends low- or nonfat dairy to limit intake of the saturated fats that boost risk of heart disease. Plus, new research suggests that replacing full-fat dairy with low-fat dairy may also help lower blood pressure. These creamy, nutritious recipes offer at least 15% of the recommended daily value for—you guessed it!—calcium.

BCI members are the best...
A recent run-in with a bat inside our house led to the acquaintance of a delightful and enlightening member of BCI and the world of bats! We wish to express our thanks for her help, enthusiasm, support, and commitment to public awareness of bats with a contribution to BCI in her name. You have an amazing person, putting out the "bat word," in Angie Cromack of Corvallis, Oregon. We are very grateful to both her and her husband for their help. Keep up the good work!
Howard, Susan, Abe, and Carrie Korn
Corvallis, Oregon
Our thanks to Angie and Kermit Cromack and to each and every one of you who helps to educate others about bats. Every time you become an ambassador for bat conservation, you make the world a safer place for bats--and for the rest of us too!
The bat who came to stay . . .
My husband and I have had a bat living on our patio for a year and a half. We checked on him daily to see if he would come home each night. And some nights he wouldn't, but he always returned in a few days.
In late summer last year, we found him on the ground and thought he may be hurt. We called our Toledo Zoo for advice and found that Norma Lewis, their bat authority, was on vacation for a week. So we put the bat in a tall box with a twig he could hang from and gave him a name. My husband hand-fed Bert the bat mealworms. After a few days, he stopped screeching when the box was opened, and like a baby bird, his mouth flew open for more juicy mealworms.
Ms. Lewis checked him a week later at the zoo, and he was in good hands. We left Bert with her for the zoo's educational programs and thought that was the end of the story.
About three weeks later I went out on the patio and found a bat in the same place Bert had always roosted. I called Ms. Lewis at the zoo, and she told me she had let Bert and a few other bats loose because it was a beautiful day to begin their migration. We knew in our hearts that it had to be Bert. He found his special spot after three weeks absence and at least 5 miles from the zoo. Sometime in October he left our house to migrate south.
In May he arrived again, back from his travels. And we were delighted to see him again.
Kae and Gary Heil
Toledo, Ohio
Kae later reported that Bert the bat continued using their patio for a day roost. They would know when he had a bad night feeding: they didn't find many droppings below his usual spot. On those days, Gary fed Bert mealworms, which Bert eagerly accepted. Male big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) often roost alone and return to the same spot year after year. If you find a downed bat, handle it carefully and wear gloves; it could be sick and might bite in self-defense.

Samsung Electronics is introducing its branded memory cards for sale in Taiwan, with sales in other select countries likely to follow at a later date.
In previous years, Samsung manufactured "white-label" digital memory cards for a variety of leading electronics companies and memory card companies. Its new premium "Plus" memory cards, which comply with the Secure Digital class 6 ratings for performance, are available in SD, microSD and Compact Flash (CF) formats with densities of 4GB and 8GB, with a 16GB density for an SD Plus card.
Samsung memory cards are shock-resistant, water-resistant and protected from damage caused by magnetic interference, the vendor said.
Samsung memory cards feature a modern brushed silver metallic design or a natural beige epoxy compound casing, and full compatibility with devices that have memory card slots. Most of the premium Plus memory cards can read data at 17MB/s (megabytes per second), though the CF cards provide read speeds of up to 45MB/s, the company said.

Internet auction sites give buyers a "virtual" flea market with new and used merchandise from around the world; they give sellers a global storefront from which to market their goods. But the online auction business can be risky business. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) wants to help buyers and sellers stay safe on Internet auction websites. Among the thousands of consumer fraud complaints the FTC receives every year, those dealing with online auction fraud consistently rank near the top of the list. The complaints generally deal with late shipments, no shipments, or shipments of products that aren't the same quality as advertised; bogus online payment or escrow services; and fraudulent dealers who lure bidders from legitimate auction sites with seemingly better deals. Most complaints involve sellers, but in some cases, the buyers are the subject.

When Jennifer Bladykas Spurling '05 noticed a need in the market for cost-effective design and communications solutions for nonprofits and mission-based businesses, deciding to fill the void was easy.
"I come from a family of entrepreneurs, so I think I inevitably knew I'd end up owning a business in some way, shape or form," she says. "As an avid volunteer and huge fan of the nonprofit sector, as well as a skilled and professional visual communicator, I knew starting Simply Be Creative was the logical next step." Founded in 2010, the business provides creative consulting, copywriting and design for projects ranging from fundraising appeals to websites to print ads.
As a self-employed small business owner, Spurling's days are varied, and so are the organizations with which she works. One day might find her writing and designing a parents magazine for a local human services agency, while another might entail drafting a brand platform and beginning a corporate identity design for a local foundation working with families in Kenya.
"I'm passionate about my clients and their missions, so it's a joy to go to work every day," she says.
Regardless of where each day takes her, Spurling says it's her degree in English communications that propelled her to this point. "English communications gave me a foundation to understand what moves people to think, act or respond," she says. "In the nonprofit world, that sense of urgency or timeliness goes hand-in-hand with building a donor base and support for a mission. Knowing why a message is important was one of the first lessons I learned from Donna Harrington-Lueker in my journalism classes and I use it every day."
Spurling feels that the diversity of classes and broad range of lessons offered in Salve Regina's English communications program complement the need for multi-skilled employees in today's workforce. "One of the greatest strengths of a job applicant these days is being able to effectively communicate," she says. "With a degree in English communications, you are well prepared to handle the many soft-skills required in today's job market."
While she feels blessed to be doing what she loves so early in her career, Spurling is insistent on raising the bar. "I'd love to continue doing what I'm doing and to collaborate with other like-minded individuals," she says. "One of my career goals is to learn more about alternative business models so that my own business can become a model for those wanting to do well by doing good."
And while her career moves ever forward, Spurling continues to give back to the place where it all started, a place she calls her "home away from home." She frequently attends Salve Regina's young alumni events, donates as often as she can and has participated in a panel for English majors considering the nonprofit sector.
"My life has been changed for the better because of Salve," Spurling says. "I'm proud that my career path has allowed me to live the mission of promoting a world that is harmonious, just and merciful."
