This was our second stay at A La Carte B&B. We love it! The hosts are extremely friendly, tri-lingual (french, english, german), and accommodating and the location is really quiet. Nearby there is a nice street with cute little restaurants and some nightlife. Perfect for a little getaway weekend!
Nous avons vraiment aimé l'accueil de Petra & Daniel qui nous ont offert un service impeccable. Ce séjour fut également l'occasion d'avoir de belles conversations avec ces hôtes généreux. De la part de Joannie et Jean-Philippe, merci!
Everything about our stay was lovely. Great hosts, great food, and great locations. Petra and Daniel were very helpful as we tried to see and do as much as possible in 2 short days. We would absolutely return, and hope to stay even longer!
We loved the design sensibility here - especially the glass block, the choice of colors and the warm, glowing wood. Our hosts Petra and Daniel were most welcoming and fun, and Petra gave us great suggestions and practical guidance for making the most of our time in Montreal. Coffee was fantastic! In the neighborhood is a great little boutique (Sylvie B) and 2 restaurants we enjoyed - "M" and "Restaurant Bon-D", all on Rue Masson. Monsieur Petit is just as cute as they say.
My wife and I came to Montreal for our honeymoon and stayed at A la Carte. The location is excellent with a good nightlife, lots of restaurants and shops. Very safe neighborhood with lots of couples and young people out and about. You can walk everywhere but public transport is easily accessible if need be. The B&B itself is very clean, warm and cozy. Breakfast was made to order and fantastic. Daniel loves to cook! We stayed in the Mother Nature room which was, again, very clean and comfortable. Petra, Daniel and Monsieur Petit (their adorable dog and mascot) were extremely friendly and very knowledgable about all of Montreal, the sights, shops, and restaurants to see and exactly how to get around. This is the #1 rated B&B in Montreal for a reason. We look forward to visiting again soon. Thank you Petra, Daniel and Monsieur Petit for Making our honeymoon so great and memorable!
Had a great time at University B&B staff was very friendly and helpful. The room we stayed in was very clean and pretty. Will recommend to friends and family if traveling to Montreal
Accueil très agréable et grande convivialité De très bons conseils pour les visites Petits déjeuners au top et variés MERCI!!!!
This was our first taste of Canada after our arrival from Europe and it was fantastic. Daniel&Petra are great hosts who are laid-back, helpful and patient and they are complemented by their beautiful BnB. Set on a leafy, quiet side-street but within walking distance to great shops, restaurants and bars. We were travelling with our loud/active 2year old and found this to be the perfect base for our 3night stay! The lovely room, the living-space, the outdoor terraces, the private parking, the adorable M.Petit, the hospitality of Petra&Daniel and Daniel's breakfast are some of the many reasons we will visit again!
This was our second stay at A la Carte, and it was just as lovely as the first. This time we brought friends and stayed in the apartment. We were again met with friendly hellos and an amazing introduction to every detail of the apartment and the city. Petra reviewed all the bus routes and trains so that we could navigate and enjoy the city. The apartment was well equipped from the bathroom to the kitchen. There was even a nice selection of spices in the kitchen, which we didn't make a lot of use of, because there are also a lot of great restaurants in the neighborhood that we chose to try. The living room is warm and inviting, and the dining room has ample space with a couch. The kitchen even has a bar so we all had a space to be together or get away on our own. Even the patio was lovely. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming again!
We recently stayed at Auberge Sous L'Edredon. The room, service and overall B&B was wonderful! Stephane was a gracious host who made sure we were comfortable and provided excellent suggestions for sight seeing. Will definitely return!
We had a great stay at A la Carte B&B! Daniel, Petra, and Monsieur Petit were very accommodating to us. Petra gave us incredible insight into navigating the mass transit to popular Montreal sites. Daniel provided the best breakfast that we had in Montreal. Monsieur Petit provided pet therapy in case you were missing yours!
Healthy, generous breakfasts; scrupulously clean bedrooms and bathroom; a charming, private, flower and sculpture-filled deck for socializing, eating, or relaxing; hosts that are helpful guides for what to do in Montreal; a great location close to the Metro; a neighborhood chock-full of great restaurants at reasonable prices. We will be delighted to return!
We looked for something different and we found it in La Loggia. From the minute we stepped in Rob made us feel home. Unfortunately we did not have a chance to Joel as he was traveling. We will next time as plan to return. The deck with all the trees,flowers and decoration is a relaxing setting to have breakfast. Anything you like to have is available. If you want fried eggs Rob will make it for you. Nice location we walked everywhere, old town, port and shopping. We took the Metro to go to the market which should not be missed. Rob takes time to talk to his guests and enjoys discussing all kinds of topics. He is ready to help any way he can. We enjoyed meeting a wide spectrum of guests and shared experiences. All in all it was very enjoyable stay indeed.
We stayed in the apartment and loved it. It was clean, has an amazing bathroom, nice deck, and WIFI. The owners are very nice and gave us good tips. its in a nice section with restaurants, but is a bit of a distance to downtown - you're better off with a cab or driving if you want to go downtown. That being said, we really loved the place and would happily go back. Highly recommend.
c'est comme leur devise..."je me souviens" alors je suis revenu et j'y retournerai. SéjourS INNOUBLIABLES
My family and I had a wonderful time at: A la Carte B&B, Daniel, Petra & Monsieur Petit were the best, they welcomed us and made us feel at home immediately. The rooms were perfect and spotless! Daniel's breakfast was outstanding! I would definitely return!
We stayed 5 nights and enjoyed a fabulous breakfast each morning and help to see all that we wanted in Montreal. Very nice people.
Our stay at the Gingerbread Manor was so enjoyable. We stayed in a room with a private bathroom, and it was stocked with everything we needed. The room itself was neat and felt comfortable for the two of us; we had a restful sleep and were treated to a marvelous breakfast the next morning (think: homemade French toast with blackberry jam and creme brulee yogurt!). One of the hosts also recommended a delicious place for dinner--a creperie on St. Denis St, where the chefs are from Brittany, France. Overall, a great place to stay!
Welcoming and thoughtful hosts. Would stay there again.
Vous cherchez imprévu, chaleur, gentillesse, originalité... Aloes, n'hésitez pas! Une bonne addresse: chez Dan et Rita. Si nous gardons un is chaud souvenir de Montréal, c'est aussi grâce à vous, votre humour, vos rires, votre genérosité, vos déjeuners six étoiles! Mercisssss! -Françoise de Belgique
The service is wonderful, from the start when Rob escorts you to safe, free, parking, to the excellent breakfast, good-sized rooms and extra amenities such as wine glasses, coffee/tea making facilities, fridge, even a corkscrew. Location is good, with easy access to subway and excellent restaurants, interesting urban walks. Rob is good at giving directions to sites or restaurants. We will be back. Don & Sue
First trip to montreal - found this Band B online and it exceeded our expectations. My husband and two teenage children and I had the best visit to the 2014 Jazz festival! Loved Montreal and our B&B was great. Good locations - lots of restaurants and contempory furniture stores Close to Metro and lots of Bikes to rent. We had a lovely healthy breakfast each morning in the garden terrace. Rob and Joel and Guy are fantastic people who are warm and funny and very knowledgable about Montreal and where to go. any problems we did have were immediately addressed and taken care of. Will return again and plan on staying there!
We had 3 nights in a dormer room, loved the soaking tub. Top floor rooms are not for the out of shape. Breakfasts were plentiful, great coffee. You can easily walk to downtown area from here. I did get a little tired of mangos 3 mornings in a row...
I travelled to Montreal with two friends and we stayed at the Victoria B and B. The rooms were great with comfortable beds and pillows. The home was decorated in it's heritage style and was so charming. Our hosts were welcoming and informative . The location was great for us. We were close to the latin quarter and there were so many restaurants to chose from It was about a 20 minute walk to old montreal. The B and B was centrally located. We had a great breakfast every morning. The atmosphere was welcoming and inviting. I would recommend this over a hotel and would come and stay here again.
We just spent 4 lovely days at the B&B in a charming Montreal-style home on the outskirts of the Plateau Mont-Royal neighborhood. We were greeted by the inn's ambassador, Monsieur Petit (if you visit their website you can't miss this personable little pup) and owners Petra and Daniel. The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming, and your every need is met. When you check in, they make it clear that their home is your home. From Petra's thorough overview of getting around the city (her marked-up map is a veritable bible of public transportation) to Daniel's tasty breakfasts, they were the perfect hosts and they made our visit memorable. We felt like we were visiting old friends rather than coming to a hotel for the first time. We like living like locals when we travel and this B&B's location lets you do that - there are many neighborhood restaurants along rue Masson, and yet the B&B is very quiet on a side street just off this busy strip. It was even Moving Day in Montreal during our visit and we never heard any noise. We stayed in the Juilliard Suite which was spacious and comfortable. In addition, there is plenty of space on the main floor that is shared space - a nicely appointed living room with TV and fireplace, a spacious dining room and a large kitchen, where space for your own food and drinks is offered in the fridge. This was our first visit to Montreal, but it won't be our last. And we'll definitely be staying with Petra, Daniel and Monsieur Petit the next time around.
We recently stayed in the Loft. We loved everything about our stay. The room was amazing, Denis and everyone were fantastic, and breakfast was SO GOOD. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in Montreal!
We spent three weeks in Canada this June, and this was our favorite B&B. Daniel and Petra are wonderful hosts, and Monsieur Petit is sure to give you a warm welcome! Everything was perfect from the moment of our arrival through our departure three days later. Make a reservation for the A la Carte and you'll be glad you did!
We stayed here earlier in June, it was a rainy grey day and we arrived soaking wet and an hour early hoping we would be lucky to get into our room. Petra met us at the door and greeted so warmly, offering us tea and showing us all the facilities that A la Carte B&B has to offer, a true home from home, our room was perfect, we settled in and had a very warm greeting from Monsieur Petit, a loveable small bundle of excitement, he was adorable. Daniel introduced himself and his fresh pancakes and maple syrup were a great way to start the next day. We would not hesitate to recommend the whole family( Monsieur Petit included). Stay here you will not be disappointed. Mr & Mrs Watling
Excellent location, Friendly owner
This B&B was recommended by a friend, and it is absolutely incredible. The entire interior is furnished in the style of the 1850s, incredibly beautiful. The staff is very friendly, uncomplicated and helpful. A big plus is also the location, right in the latin quarter, perfect for going out and a good central starting place for exploring Montreal on foot. The breakfast follows the "apple philosophy": not a lot of choice, but everything they do have is of fantastic quality, including wonderful fresh bread (every day a different variety), freshly squeezed orange juice and home-made jam. We enjoyed it very much. Everything else was top-notch, very clean and nice amenities, wonderful bathtub right in the room and good free wifi. With the curtains drawn, our room became almost completely dark, which was great for sleeping in. The only advice on improvement I could give to the owners: put the fire warnings and escape routes into nice frames that go with the rest of the beautiful interior. The current arrangement just does not fit with the interior at all. That this is my only critique says a lot. I can highly recommend this B&B.

I thought the Superman shirt would help my son Jonté Plater be strong, but he didn't plan on getting double-teamed to get his shots for school. This picture is reminiscent of the famous Norman Rockwell paintings found in most doctors offices in the past depicting children coming of age at key moments in time. I couldn't resist the urge to take a 'stab' at this photo opportunity, but judging from the look on his face...he wasn't having much 'pun'.

I have always used hardware based raid because it (IMHO) it's on the right level (feel free to dispute this) and that OS failures are more common to me than hardware issues. Thus if the OS fails the raid is gone and so is the data, where on a hardware level regardless of OS the data remains.
However on a recent Stack Overflow podcast they stated they would not used hardware raid as the software raid is better developed and thus runs better.
So my question is, is there any reasons to choose one over the other?

How to Ski GreenSeptember 3rd, 2009 by skigreenguy | Comments Off | Filed in Green Ski Transportation, How to Ski Green, Ski Vacations
"Alpine skiing" and "living green" do not seem compatible. Flat land skiers jet across the country, rent SUVs, and drive a few more hours to mountain homes or condominiums. While they sleep, snow guns blast a fresh layer of snow and legions of snow cats prepare thousands of acres of groom slopes. That's a lot of greenhouse gas just to escape New Jersey for a week.
So how can an individual skier reduce the carbon emissions of this sport? (more…)

Henrietta Szold
Szold was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1860, a little more than
a year after her parents arrived from Hungary. Her father, a prominent
rabbi, gave Henrietta the attention and education usually reserved
for an eldest son. She learned German, English, French and Hebrew.
Her high school academic record has never been surpassed. In 1899,
she took on the lion's share of producing the first American Jewish
Year Book, for which Szold was the sole editor from 1904 to 1908.
In 1909,
Ms. Szold first visited Palestine. During her tour she was impressed
both by the beauty of the land and the misery and disease among
the people. And so, with the support of Rabbi Judah L. Magnes,
she formed Hadassah in 1912. Within a year, the fledgling organization
had two American nurses in Jerusalem. Today, Hadassah's great
hospitals in Jerusalem are world famous, treating over 25,000
patients and handling over 1.5 million medical tests annually
... Jews and Arabs alike. The Henrietta Szold-Hadassah School
of Nursing has trained over 1,500 nurses, and the Hebrew University-Hadassah
Medical School has graduated more than 1,300 doctors.
In 1933,
at the age of 73, Szold embarked on a major new project ... rescuing
Jewish children from the oncoming Holocaust. Despite obstacles
in dealing with the British Mandate government in Palestine, by
1948 her Youth Aliya program brought 30,000 children from troubled
Europe to Palestine. Even at the age of 81, Henrietta Szold accepted
a new challenge ... planning the Fund for Child and Youth Care.
Today, Hadassah's
third of a million members and 1,350 chapters around the world
make it one of the largest philanthropic organizations and a living
tribute to the hard work and vision of its founder, Henrietta

Carlton Cuse wants fans to create a title sequence for Bates Motel
In case there are any artistically-inclined fans of A&E's upcoming Bates Motel interested in creating a piece of the show, executive producer Carlton Cuse has put out a call for an opening title sequence. Through January 3, fans can submit videos, graphics, and other ideas to the show's Facebook page. Cuse, who will ultimately choose the winner, says, "We want to give fans the chance to participate in the show. We're looking for an awesome 15-second title sequence that captures the feel of Bates Motel -- not as a slasher/horror show, but as a complex, character-based thriller." Considering the prevalence of fan art, plus the current Hitchcock fever we've been experiencing, this seems like a really great opportunity to rouse a fan base that might have its doubts about a Psycho prequel series by making them feel like a significant part of the production. Bates Motel is set to premiere on A&E in March. (via The Hollywood Reporter)
Backyard Blockbusters: documentary about fan films
John sez,
Backyard Blockbusters (Thanks, John!)
Did you ever see that movie where Batman fought a Predator? Or where kids remade "Raiders of the Lost Ark"? What about the fourth season of classic "Star Trek"? If none of these are familiar to you, that's because they're not studio projects, but fan films - and I've just finished and started touring film festivals with a documentary about these kinds of projects called "Backyard Blockbusters" - it looks at the history, influence, and copyright problems these types of projects face, and includes nearly everyone from the most famous, popular, and/or notable fan films, as well as notables from the original properties and production companies.
There's a very cool screening opportunity coming up, but I need public help to get the film into it - the Arclight Cinema in Hollywood is holding a documentary film festival in November, and the selection process is being done online through public voting - and "Backyard Blockbusters" is one of the contenders.
They will be counting both the amount of views the competing trailers for the various films get on YouTube pages, as well as the amount of votes the films receive on a special Facebook page.

So Friday, I went grocery shopping keeping in mind there are things that I need to change, but still remembering that my family isn't really in this game I am beginning with me. So, Iv'e made some simple changes. I bought more fruit then snack foods, but the snacks are still gonna be there, I really don't have much choice in the matter. My son has begged for pizza for the past month and I broke down and made that yesterday. 3 large ones, BUT I have only had 2 slices of it, one last night, and I took one to work with me today. It's really not that I'm trying to keep putting this off, but that I am still trying to organize and figure out exactly what exactly I am going to change. The biggest change I think I'm going to make right now won't be so much what I'm cooking for my family but how much of it I'm going to eat. Portion control I have decided is what I'm going to start on. Snacks also are going to begin moving from my nice crunchy chips and dip, to maybe some celery and cream cheese? or peanut butter? I bought some grapes, and watermelon, and strawberrys, and bananas. And so thats the game plan for this week I suppose. I will be beginning to use my food tracker too, so i can keep track of how many calories each of these things are going to cost me, and I can begin to adjust from there. Now I know cream cheese probably isn't diet food BUT it's got to be better then my chips and dip. I'm taking advise and taking small baby steps and am going to adjusting food intake as i move along. I do however plan on keeping on my calorie allowance so hopefully that will help me find substitutes as I go along with the food choices I am making. Any experienced words of wisdom from former junk food junkies coped with change, please chime in. Talk to y'all soon.
Good evening/morning Spark Friends. One of the fast goals I decided to do for my first 2 weeks was to post something on the boards once a day. I hope this is considered part of posting on the boards. And I know my last post says the 17th, and today it says the 19th, but I work a 6p to 6a shift and well....I'm sort of sneaking on the puter to do this. (don't tell!) So technally this is still the day after the first day....oh never mind.
Point is, I packed myself a much smaller lunch then I usually do although Its technally not a great beginning to someone whose proclaiming to lose some weight, but...it's better for me. I also have the opportunity to do a lot of walking in the evenings at my job , but as of yet I've not taken advantage of that because I really need to get a better pair of shoes for that, the ones I am wearing now make my feet hurt as it is. So tomorrow the search is on for some shoes. It will also be grocery shopping day, so I will trying to make better choices as to what I want to start packing in my lunch and serving my family for supper.
I kind of feel like the kid who decided to dive off the big board, and is kind of standing there fixin to jump, but still standing a bit fearful of taking that jump. I really havnt done much to start yet beside rant on this blog and make a Doc apt, but I'm getting ready, grocery shopping, I'm getting set.....geeez why do I feel like this is gonna be hard for me? lol
BUT I'm GONNA DO IT!
Hi. Last night I made a decision that I am going to make change to my life. Not A change but change as in lots of changes. I am in the category of 50+ with over 50 pounds to lose.
I wandered the message boards and read a lot of inspirational posts. Then, I posted myself and asked for advise, and even kind of admitted to myself and everyone that I am kind of living my own pitty party. Some great advise came my way and I'm going to try and put two of those posts as kind of a guide to where my destination should be. So, here is the part one someone suggested I begin with. My reasons I want to lose weight.
I want to lose weight for a lot of reasons. 1. As the years are moving by, so is the scale, and there are times I sure don't feel that 50 is really so old, my body sure does. So, I want it to be easier to move around, not be so out of energy because I'm so heavy to move....does that make sense? 2. I don't want to be an old fat woman! There I said it! I hate having to pick the old lady clothes when I go shopping. Surely I can still wear cute clothes...no? Who agrees with me there. But at my size 16/18 nothing even remotely looks cute on me no matter how great it looks in a catalog or on the rack. 3. I suppose this goes back to number 1 but....this weight has made me LAZY! I don't feel like going to the store, outside, I'm lucky I'm so broke I have to go to work! I'm going to stop at those 3 for now cause I'm sure I could go on and on in the reasons dept.
Another point another reader mentioned was depression. Well, yeah, I guess maybe I am a bit depressed. I keep going back to the age thing, but well, its really gotten me down, and maybe it is only menopausal and maybe its cause I'm so heavy right now, or maybe its a whole bunch of things. But today, as it is day 1 I called my ob/gyn and made an appointment. Its been long overdue anyway to see him, and hopefully when I tell him my goals and get a check up he might even be able to help me too. I'm planning on posting a pic here later on today if I get a chance and that too is going to be part of my inspirational bogging experience. I've never bogged before or journalised, but have been told its helpful, so I will really be discipline myself to write something that I've learned, or felt about this journey every day. This will be a good outlet for me I'm hoping. Well, that's it for me for now. Good luck on all of your journeys too, talk soon....Eleanor

Less Pain for Learning Gain
Medical News Today
Date Published:
September 28, 2010
Now research from Northwestern University suggests a new way of training that could reduce by at least half the effort previously thought necessary to make learning gains. They suggest combining periods of practice may alone be too brief to cause learning with periods of mere exposure to perceptual stimuli.

Dark City
From Wikiquote
Dark City is a 1998 science fiction film set in a city of perpetual night, whose inhabitants are repeatedly given new, artificial memories by mysterious beings called the Strangers.
- Directed by Alex Proyas. Written by Alex Proyas, Lem Dobbs, and David S. Goyer.
Dr. Daniel Schreber[edit]
- First there was darkness. Then came the Strangers. They were a race as old as time itself. They had mastered the ultimate technology. The ability to alter physical reality by will alone. They called this ability "Tuning". But they were dying. Their civilization was in decline, and so they abandoned their world seeking a cure for their own mortality. Their endless journey brought them to a small, blue world in the farthest corner of the galaxy. Our world. Here they thought they had finally found what they had been searching for.
- You are probably wondering why I keep appearing in your memories, John. It is because I have inserted myself into them.
- The only place home exists is in your head.
- I call them the Strangers. They abducted us and brought us here. This city, everyone in it... is their experiment. They mix and match our memories as they see fit, trying to divine what makes us unique. One day, a man might be an inspector. The next, someone entirely different. When they want to study a murderer, for instance, they simply imprint one of their citizens with a new personality. Arrange a family for him, friends, an entire history... even a lost wallet. Then they observe the results. Will a man, given the history of a killer, continue in that vein? Or are we, in fact, more than the sum of our memories?
- When they first brought us here, they extracted what was in us and stored the information, remixed it like so much paint, and gave us back new memories of their choosing. But they still needed an artist to help them. I understood the human mind better than they ever could, so they allowed me to keep my skills as a scientist... because they needed them. They made me delete everything else. Can you imagine what it's like to erase your own past?
- Listen to me, John. You have their power. You can make things happen by will alone. They call it "Tuning." That is how they make the buildings change. Just now you acted out of self-defense, a reflex. But I can teach you to control your power consciously. Let me help you, John. Together We can stop them, we can take the city back.
- [While being hung upside-down by Mr. Book] Maybe you have finally found what you are looking for and it's going to bite you on your —
- This one is still warm. What is it? The recollections of a great lover? A cataloge of conquests? We will soon find out. [A Stranger gives him two vials] You wouldn't appreciate that, would you, Mr. Whatever-your-name-is?
John Murdoch[edit]
- I know this is gonna sound crazy, but what if we never knew each other before now? What if the first time we ever met was last night in our apartment. And everything you remember, and everything I'm supposed to remember never really happened. Someone just wants us to think it did.
Mr. Hand[edit]
- I have become the monster you were intended to be.
- To John Murdoch
- Instincts are irrational, Mr. Wall. We must follow where they lead, yes?
- There used to be a ferry when I was a boy, biggest thing you ever saw, lit up like a floating birthday cake.
- It seems you have discovered your unpleasant nature.
Detective Walenski[edit]
- I've been trying to remember things, clearly remember things, from my past, but the more I try to think back, the more it all starts to unravel. None of it seems real. It's like I've just been dreaming this life, and when I finally wake up, I'll be somebody else. Somebody totally different!
- [At a murder scene]
- Inspector Frank Bumstead: What's that make so far, Husselbeck? Six hookers in all?
- Husselbeck: I believe so, sir.
- Inspector Frank Bumstead: Give the man an "A" for effort.
- Inspector Frank Bumstead: You saw something, didn't you, Eddie? Something to do with the case.
- Walenski: There is no case! There never was! It's all just a big joke! It's a joke!
- John Murdoch: I was just thinking, what you do seems kind of dangerous right now. I mean, how do you know I'm not the killer?
- May: I don't. Why — you feeling any urges I should know about?
- Mr. Wall: Do not fret, Anna. I will give you some more pretty things soon.
- Emma Murdoch: I'm not Anna.
- Mr. Wall: You will be soon, yes.
- John Murdoch: When was the last time you remember doing something during the day?
- Inspector Frank Bumstead: What do you mean?
- John Murdoch: I just mean during the day. Daylight. When was the last time you remember seeing it? And I'm not talking about some distant, half-forgotten childhood memory, I mean like yesterday. Last week. Can you come up with a single memory? You can't, can you? You know something? I don't think the sun even... exists... in this place. 'Cause I've been up for hours, and hours, and hours, and the night never ends here.
- John Murdoch: Hey, do you know the way to Shell Beach?
- Taxi Driver: You're kidding! Me and the Mrs. spent our honeymoon there. All you gotta do is take Main Street West to... or is it the Cross... You know, that's funny, I can't remember if it's Main Street West or the Crosstown.
- John Murdoch: Excuse me. How do I get to the end of the line?
- Train Passenger: You want the Express.
- [Few moments later after train passes through without stopping]
- John Murdoch: Hey, how come that train didn't stop?
- Station Master: That's the Express.
- John Murdoch: I know this is gonna sound crazy, but what if we never knew each other before now... and everything you remember, and everything that I'm supposed to remember, never really happened, someone just wants us to think it did?
- Emma Murdoch: But how can that be true? I so vividly remember meeting you. I remember falling in love with you. I remember losing you. [pause] I love you John, you can't fake something like that.
- John Murdoch: No, you can't.
- Husselbeck: Everything Detective Walenski committed to paper should be here.
- Inspector Frank Bumstead: The only thing that should be committed is Walenski.
- Mr. Book: He's becoming like us.
- Mr. Wall: So we must become like him.
- [Mr. Hand has been imprinted with Murdoch's memories]
- Mr. Book: Is it done?
- Mr. Hand: Oh, yes, Mr. Book. I have John Murdoch in mind.
- Mr. Wall: No more Mr. Quick. Mr. Quick, dead, yes.
- Stranger: Poor, poor Mr. Quick.
- They built the city to see what makes us tick. Last night one of us went off.
- Forget the Sun. Forget Time. Forget Your Memories.
- A world where the night never ends. Where man has no past. And humanity has no future.
- You are not who you think you are.
- Rufus Sewell - John Murdoch
- Jennifer Connelly - Emma Murdoch/Anna
- Kiefer Sutherland - Dr. Daniel Schreber
- William Hurt - Inspector Frank Bumstead
- Colin Friels - Detective Eddie Walenski

Industrial TNT is primarily used for more controlled explosions and collection of destroyed materials in processes like Mining.
Splitting up the charges and adding some nice cutting material results in the explosion caused by ITNT to be much more useful: It has less direct power, which means more blast control. Industrial TNT appears to destroy 10% - 15% of the blocks broken, where vanilla TNT destroys 70% of the blocks broken.
Industrial TNT also has its downsides:
Here you will see an image of Industrial TNT blast compared to a normal TNT blast.
The other images are of pattern tests on Dirt detonated with Red Alloy Wire and a lever.

Making Memories
Kim Turner loved competing in track during her high-school days. She thoroughly enjoyed being a member of the school's cheerleading squad, too. But her favorite memories—the ones that still resonate and are powerful enough to put a smile on her face decades later—are from her days as a youth-sports participant. And those memories have made a defining difference in how she handles the challenge-filled position of director of New Kent County Parks and Recreation in Virginia. "My best memories were … Continue reading

Teaching Toughness
Comedian/actor Dennis Leary has written several books that have the same common-sense, knock-you-upside-the-head candor. Also, Leary's voice can be heard on the Ford truck commercials urging viewers to "listen up" and "get it straight." He's become an icon of the tough-guy attitude and the whole "get-over-yourself" mindset. I identify with his pleas to the men in this country to "just stop whining." In some of his writings, he has actually thanked the former bullies in his life as well as … Continue reading

Editor's Note: This column, "LBWA" (Leadership By Wandering Around), is based on the premise that, in order to find out what's going on in the field, a parks and rec leader has to leave his or her desk and "wander around" the area of operations, talk to people, ask questions, and kick around ideas with the individuals in the thick of delivering services to the public. So the author will bring up issues and ask the leaders among the readership … Continue reading

Marketing Parks
A few years ago, we at the Genesee County Parks in Flint, Mich., realized that the citizens didn't know nearly as much about the parks as we thought they did, and some of what they said they knew wasn't accurate. Our general advertising simply wasn't having an impact, so we took a leap and contracted with a marketing firm to help create a brand and campaign—print ads, radio ads, billboards, and a website. People remember the message now. The difference … Continue reading

Romney continues to use the word "foreign" to describe the president's worldview. Yesterday:
"It's a very strange and in some respects foreign to the American experience type of philosophy."
If you don't think this is calculated to trigger thoughts of Birthers and socialism/communism and so forth, you're naive. It's not the first time he's done this, and in the context of the McCain 2008 dog-whistles ("pals around with terrorists") and Romney surrogate Sununu's rants the other day, this is absolutely a calculated and coordinated use of the word.

New at the bookshop - In God's Hands by Desmond Tutu: http://t.co/wdBx8XW1dc http://t.co/w7o84XkX9G
Author(s): Frances M. Young, Lewis Ayres, Andrew Louth
'In sum: this is a fine and important book, with excellent essays.' Church Times 'As no-one can keep abreast of every aspect of the discipline, this volume will be useful even to specialists who may not be fully aware of developments outside their immediate field of interest. ... this is a most useful book which will be of great help to anyone who needs a guide to part or all of the period which it covers.' Evangelical Quarterly '... the most exhaustive treatment of early Christian literature in quite some time, and is an indispensable reference work.' Religious Studies Review 'The Cambridge History of early Literature is a first-rate work of Scholarship. it will be a welcome addition to those handy reference shelves and may well bump some works that are already there to a lower place.' Scottish Journal of Theology 'The Cambridge History of Early Christian Literature is a first-rate work of scholarship. it will be a welcome addition to those handy reference shelves and may well bump some works that are already there to a lower place.' Journal of SJT 'There are three standard approaches to the study of ancient Christianity. One is historical, another is theological, and finally a third approach is literary. ... The present Cambridge history masterfully integrates these three approaches into one volume, which its editors rightly hope will become 'a standard work of reference.' It is indeed a superb volume, which as its title indicates surveys early Christian literature from its beginnings up to the middle of the fifth century.' Gregorianum 'This volume will certainly stand both as a statement of the progress made so far in this field and as a prospectus for future ...' Journal of Theological Studies

Paul Quinn College Freshman Accepted to The League of Young Voters Education Fund's Signature Leadership Program
DALLAS, TX – March 6, 2014 – Paul Quinn College freshman and Arlington native, Sydney Szmuc, recently accepted a spot in the spring 2014 Texas League Fellows (TLF) Program, a six month leadership program specifically tailored to empower civic-minded young people to become community advocates and activists. Szmuc will start the program in April, along with other young Texans across the state.
"TFL aligns with my studies and passions. I am deeply honored they selected me to participate with this elite group of college students," said Szmuc. "The goal of The League of Young Voters is to help engaged people build their community, while encouraging young people to research, address and develop solutions to community problems. I'm learning about this now in one of my classes and from one of my mentors, President Sorrell and I can't wait to start implementing what I have learned."
Szmuc enjoys getting to know the diverse student body at Paul Quinn College and spends time with her peers discussing communities, backgrounds and dreams. She envisions that this hobby will come in useful as she contributes to the Texas League Fellows Program.
"At Paul Quinn College we encourage all our students to seek opportunities to serve," said Michael J. Sorrell, president of Paul Quinn College. "Sydney may only be a freshman, but she is one of our most talented and promising students. We have enormous expectations of her. She is going to be special."
Currently, an Education major with a minor in Business, Szmuc wants to get her masters in non-profit after graduating from Paul Quinn College. Szmuc's ultimate goal is to run a non-profit that empowers low-income families to break their cycle of poverty.

REGENSBURG-ABUSE (SECOND UPDATE) Mar-9-2010 (1,160 words) With photo posted March 8. xxxi
Church responding decisively to new sex abuse reports, official says

By Sarah Delaney and Cindy Wooden
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The religious orders and bishops' conferences dealing with cases of clerical sexual abuse of children in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands are acting quickly, decisively and with transparency to uncover the truth and assist the victims, said the Vatican spokesman.
Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, director of the Vatican press office, said March 9 that the religious orders and bishops' conferences not only "have proven their commitment to transparency, in a certain sense they have accelerated the uncovering of the problem by asking victims to come forward even when it involved cases from many years ago."
The correct way to proceed, he said, is to recognize what happened and concretely demonstrate concern for the victims and the consequences the abuse has had on them.
The new revelations of abuse, mainly at Catholic schools, in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands as well as the recent report on abuse in Ireland "mobilize the church to elaborate appropriate responses and should be inserted in the context of a problem that is wider and involves the safeguarding of children and youths from sexual abuse in society," Father Lombardi said.
Sexual abuse at the hands of a priest or other church worker is "particularly reprehensible," he said, but those who have the good of children at heart must recognize that the problem is present in many other sectors of society and "to concentrate the accusations only against the church leads to falsifying one's perspective."
Father Lombardi said German Chancellor Angela Merkel was right to convoke a round table of people involved in the fields of education and social services for children to examine the phenomenon of child sexual abuse from a broader perspective.
"The church naturally is ready to participate," he said.
Father Lombardi also said the church lives in society and recognizes the responsibility and authority of government courts to impose criminal and civil penalties on abusers.
At the same time, he said, in the view of the church's own internal laws "the crime of the sexual abuse of minors has always been considered one of the most serious crimes of all."
The bishops' conferences of the countries where the sex abuse scandal has returned to the headlines are reviewing all of their procedures and are setting up offices to help the victims, he said.
"While no one can deny the seriousness of the turmoil the church is going through, we cannot hesitate to do everything possible so that positive results are achieved for improving the protection of children and youth in the church and in society, and for the purification of the church itself," Father Lombardi said.
The spokesman's comments came the day after the Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, said the Vatican fully supports the efforts of German bishops to investigate claims of child sexual abuse in Catholic institutions, even if the cases are decades old.
"Full disclosure regarding abuse in Germany," said the front-page headline of the March 7 edition of the official Vatican newspaper. "The church is working rigorously to shed light on what happened in religious institutions," it said.
The article followed a letter posted March 5 on the Web site of the Diocese of Regensburg, acknowledging past cases of sexual abuse of young students attending the Domspatzen, the school that trains the elite boys' choir of the Regensburg Cathedral.
Initial news reports said the abuse may have occurred while Msgr. Georg Ratzinger, brother of Pope Benedict XVI, was serving as choirmaster at the school. But the Regensburg Diocese said the cases occurred in the late 1950s, while Msgr. Ratzinger held the post from 1964 to 1994.
Msgr. Ratzinger told the Italian daily La Repubblica that no cases of priestly pedophilia had come to his attention during his tenure there, but that he would be willing to testify should he be summoned by German judicial authorities.
In an online letter addressed to students and parents, Regensburg Bishop Gerhard Ludwig Muller spoke of two former priests at the school who had been involved in incidents of pedophilia in the 1950s and subsequently jailed. The letter asked anyone with information regarding similar episodes to come forward and said it was seeking specifically a former student who had told German news media that he had been abused at the school.
In a news conference March 5, Bishop Muller said any claims of sexual abuse would be treated with "the maximum transparence."
The Vatican, wrote L'Osservatore Romano, "supports the diocese in its willingness to analyze this painful issue with decisiveness and openness, according to the rules established by the German bishops' conference."
The church's main objective, the paper wrote, "is to render justice to the victims." It said authorities from other institutions, including public schools, should adopt a similar attitude.
As has happened in the United States, Ireland, Australia and other countries, dozens of Germans have made claims recently that they suffered sexual abuse as children while attending Catholic schools. And as in those situations, the church leadership has been accused of protecting priests rather than children.
Cardinal Walter Kasper, a senior German prelate and the Vatican's chief ecumenical official, said in an interview in La Repubblica that priestly sexual abuse must be punished and the church must take responsibility.
"Enough! We need serious housecleaning in our church," he said, adding that "the pope is certainly not standing idly by."
He called the sexual abuse of minors on the part of clergy "a criminal, shameful act and an inexcusable mortal sin."
Cardinal Kasper said, "The Holy Father is right in seeking clarity and demanding zero tolerance toward whoever is stained by such grave sins."
The leadership of the German bishops' conference will be meeting with Pope Benedict March 12 at the Vatican. The visit was scheduled previously, but the rapidly developing sex abuse scandal was sure to be discussed.
The pope met in February with Irish bishops to discuss the problem of widespread sexual abuse of minors in Catholic schools after a scathing independent report accused the Irish church of maintaining a culture of secrecy for many years.
The pope was to write a pastoral letter to Irish Catholics regarding what he called the "heinous crime" of priestly sexual abuse.
Cardinal Kasper said that while the question of the pastoral letter was up to the pope, he felt that because "such a difficult problem has emerged not only in Ireland, but in Holland, Germany and the United States, perhaps it deserves a more general analysis that applies to the universal church and not just a single nation."
Claims have been made that some students had suffered physical and psychological abuse as well in German Catholic schools. Msgr. Ratzinger said that while he served at the school, "there was a climate of discipline and rigor ... but also of human understanding, almost like a family."
He said he believed that there was "a certain animosity toward the church, and I see behind certain claims the intention to speak against the church."

What is troublesome in this article is that, "Journalists" seem to be in the comfort of their chairs and think that they are doing their readers a service. This Lazy journalism has touch a lot news medias and we can see its fingerprints all over this so called "article". If you were following the news, the Algerian "Arab Spring" has happened just little over 20 years ago. Scores of innocent civilians paid and continue to pay the ultimate price. this so called election had the approval stamp of US and EU. So, Shouldn't we call this a Real democracy ? in fact Real democracy doesn't exist, not here nor in the west. None of the current so called democracies are perfect. Moreover, Western style democracy will not work in the Arab world, just look at Iraq, Afghanistan. I will leave you with one question, will it finally be called real democracy if the US or EU had put a puppet to lead Algeria?
Algeria had it's own spring almost a quarter century before the current arabic spring (October 1988) that was followed by a bloody ten years long civil war. The arabic spring countries have much to learn from the algerian experience.
Algeria will eventually find it's way to "real" democracy as the youngest people in "le pouvoir", like president Bouteflika who was a foreign minister at 25, are at least 70 years old now. The country is rich with young educated people and a fairly free press.
As a regular reader of the magazine, it's very striking how The Economist remain silent about this large country in Africa in many of its issues of the Middle-East & North Africa.
And when it happens that Algeria is part of the column, we cannot expect an indepth analysis like those we enjoy for other topics.
Algeria is isolated from the winds of change accross the arab region for at least two reasons:
1- As stated in the text, people in the country think they have paid a huge tribute for change recently, so they are less eager to take out to the streets.
2- The algerian regime managed to postpone the consolidation of social unrest in the country (which could seriously threaten the regime) through generous public spendings and by increasing participation of all social categories in the wasting of oil revenues (wage increases & corruption).
Hence the relative noiseless algeria among the arab world. Take into account the position of the country as a provider of energy for southerne Europe, its geographic position as an african "gate to Europe" and you could understand the contained enthousiasme of the internationl pwoers to foster any form of change in this country.

Hello my name is Sheree' Reinhart-Mogensen. I am writing because I would like to partisipate in the Heart Run & Walk this year due to a good friend of mine passing away last January 2012 due to a heart attack. She was an amazing friend, daughter, wife and most of the best mother any child could ask for. She loved life and she never held any grudges. She was the most understanding person anyone could talk to. I don't know much on how she passed but I do know that she was with her husband @ the time and he rushed her to hospital. She passed away with her loving husband by her side due to a heart attack. It broke so many peoples hearts becuase she was such a wounderful person. @ her funeral the place was so packed that hardly no one could even sit down that goes to show how loved she was. So please in memory of my best friend Lisa Stanton I would like to get a team together and do this walk for her while she is looking down on us that day with a smile on her face because we did something for her and to keep her memory going. Thank you.
"Team Lisa"

There is nothing like staying in a mountain cabin, however, being prepared when you are going to a rural populated area is a must. North Georgia Cabin Rentals are no exception. Here are the top 3 of what to bring:
1. Directions, Directions, Directions. "But I used my Navi"
We can not reiterate this enough. Every single week we have folks that forget to bring their "final approach" directions to their cabin. At our north Georgia cabin rentals, we go as far as saying "you may get lost without it" but some choose to ignore this warning and rather than staying in luxury cabins, they end up at the Motel 6 (please do not ask for compensation if this happens). Not only that, it seems that these folks arrive in the dark of night and somehow were sure that they knew how to get there because they had a "Navi". People get so hooked on their Navi system and think it will get you there. That's fine in the city but we all know that sometimes these talking friendly voices take you down the wrong path. Ever yell at your Navi friend? Yes, they may get you close but even Google does not have these rural areas detailed correctly. Most rental agencies provide a landing approach to your cabin. This is the most important thing you can bring.
2. If you follow step 1, you will have a nice cozy cabin, but there are things you need to bring to make your stay comfy. Many times you could be up to 30 minutes or more from any local store. If you are like me, you need to eat on a regular basis. Bring some snacks to get you by if you only plan on dining out. Many companies have opted to go green and do not supply "sample soaps", so bringing an extra towel, your favorite soap and shampoo is advised. This is different from your typical hotel stay (we think much nicer).
Important Tip for wine drinkers: bring a wine opener just in case the last guest threw it in their bag and it was not replaced. You may need it, especially if you did not remember step 1.
3. Know your recourse in the event of an accident. Keep in mind that many rural areas could take an hour or more to get help. You may have a local physician a few miles away and could drive to their office in minutes. Trip insurance includes these services. Heaven forbid anything should happen but barring calling 911, it would be nice to know how to contact a local physician. Here is a doctors list close to a Helen, GA cabin.
With over 10,000 bookings, Cedar Creek Cabin Rentals provides these tips to help your stay to be the best cabin experience possible. Please comment on this post and we will give a way a free $25 gas credit on your next trip to visit Cedar Creek Cabins. Put Blog25 in the guest notes when you book online (limit one credit per stay and for future stays only).
