From the book
Chapter 1: Gifts
My grandfather had what Christians call "gifts of the spirit." Grandpa Evans was a serious man, devout in his religious beliefs and conservative in dress and speech. Still, at least to me, there was a discernible energy in his presence. Many said that he could, at times, work miracles. As a child I witnessed some of those miracles. None, perhaps, was more evident than the one I saw after my brother Van was electrocuted.
I was nine years old. It was the same year our family moved to Utah, leaving behind the beautiful, palm-tree-lined streets of Arcadia, California, a suburb to the east of Pasadena.
Arcadia lived up to its name. It was a childhood Eden, lush and innocent, the kind of place where a child should grow up. Peacocks freely roamed our neighborhood, as did we children. It's no wonder "Arcadia" pops up frequently in my books.
Things were good for our family there. My father was the administrator of a large chain of convalescent hospitals and my mother never worried about money in those days, except that we might have too much and that it might spoil us. I remember once asking my mother if we were rich.
"We're rich because we have the gospel," she replied.
"But are we rich?" I asked, hoping for a better answer. She frowned and turned away.
We had a large two-story house with a heated swimming pool, surrounded by a brick terrace and ornamental kumquat trees and a water fountain with a Greek-style statue. My father drove a brand new Buick Riviera. We had a pet capuchin monkey named Tony that could chirp happily like a bird and bite like a vampire. We went on frequent family outings, often to Long Beach or Disneyland or whatever particular amusement my mother and father conceived of for the weekend.
In spite of our money, my mother, as thrifty as she was pious, sewed many of our clothes. For one of our family outings she made us matching pink-and-olive shirts, which to my teenage brothers' and sister's horror, we wore in public. It was Mom's way of keeping track of all eight of us. We looked as wholesome as a sixties Tide commercial. As a kid I thought all this was great. But this was in the tie-dye and bell-bottom culture of the sixties, and to this day I'm surprised that my teenage sister, Heidi, ever came out of the house.
I was the seventh of eight children in a Mormon family, the sixth of seven boys. I suppose ours was typical of large family culture; a pecking order existed, easily understood by even the youngest of us: big fish eat smaller fish. My parents told me that my first uttered sentence was, "Help, Mom, Dad. Help." This came at just two years of age, as my older brothers hung me over the stair railing by my feet.
My older brothers spent much of their time devising tortures for us younger ones. One Christmas, one of us kids received a large cloth tube made for crawling through. The older brothers threw it into the swimming pool, then made us younger children swim through it. Their idea of fun was to close off the ends of the...

November 3, 2003
Self-published in paperback during the Christmas season 1994, Evans's first novel quickly gained national media attention. Now the cleverly told tale, which the author reputedly wrote for his daughters and which revels in sentimentality, is available in hardcover. The story relates how a young couple, Richard (who narrates) and Keri, accept a position to care for a lonely widow, Mary Parkin, in her spacious Victorian mansion. As Christmas draws near, Mary becomes anxious about Richard's obsession with success and his failure to make time for his family. She urges him to reconsider his priorities, but he is always too busy to heed her advice. It is only when Mary is on her deathbed and her secret sorrow is revealed through the letter-laden Christmas box of the title that Richard realizes what she has been trying to tell him. The message concerns love, of course, and the strings Evans pulls to vivify it should squeeze sobs from even the stoniest of hearts. It's notable, however, that unlike many well-known Christmas tales (such as Dickens's), which carry that message in a basically nonsectarian manner, this is steeped in specific Christian imagery and belief as the author draws on the drama of Jesus as God's sacrifice for the world's sins, and of his crucifixion and resurrection. 750,000 first printing; BOMC, QPB, BOMC Homestyle Book Club, BOMC Craft Books Club, BOMC Children's Book Club alternates; simultaneous S & S audio and S & S Libros En Espanol edition; author tour.

The planned plant is a 2000MW coal-fired greenfield project located in the direct vicinity of the Nature 2000 site (Lower Vistula Valley). Impeded from securing free CO2 emissions allowances by the decision of the EU Commission from the 13 July 2012. There is growing local opposition to the construction in spite of a huge PR effort by the investor - Elektrownia Polnoc Ltd. - an affiliate of Kulczyk Investments Group. The plant is expected to start its operation no sooner than 2018 and its estimated cost is EUR 3.1-3.8 billion.
For technical details of the plant, click here.
Little history is available on the project but some important facets of the project include:
Kulczyk, one of the richest people in Poland, is looking to build the first Polish private energy group through his company, Kulczyk Investments. Polenergia part of the Kulczyk Investment Group has acquired a gas CHP Nowa Sarzyna and recently took over the stock-listed Polish Energy Partners (PEP).
The project itself is in the north of Poland. It is a region with great wind potential and, at the same time, the location chosen for the power plant construction threatens the integrity of a nearby Nature 2000 site. This project will lock the region to coal-powered energy generation thus hampering the developments of the RE energy.
Climate impact assessment is almost non-existent (with the exception of one paragraph saying there is no transboundary impact assessment in a 700 pages EIA). The public consultations process claims to be an open one but environmental NGOs from outside the area are discouraged to participate in the process.
Private banks must not finance in any way this project, be it through project finance, corporate loan or underwriting or buying of bonds or shares.

If you can't make your own tee shirt, design a tee shirt! This Pretty Petal Tee Shirt from Jen Hagedorn is so easy to make and a great way to jazz up your wardrobe. Soon you'll be blooming with beautiful flowers all over!
- 2 matching T-shirts
- Big Shot machine
- Big Shot Originals die Flower Layers #2
- Needle and thread
- Cut one tee into die-sized rectangles and layer 4 at once on the die.
- Make piles by size. For this project, I decided the smallest flower wasn't what I wanted, so I only used the big, medium and smaller flower. Then I layered them, either a big with a medium, medium with a small, or a a big with a small.
- Threading a hand needle, I used a running stitch around the center of each 2-layer flower and pulled it to gather it up.
- Then I attached the flower to the neckline of the other shirt with a backstitch. You don't want to use a running stitch all the way through or if your thread gets caught on something, the whole thing will bunch up.
- Your needle's on the inside of the shirt now. Bring it up a little space away (about an inch and a half depending on what size flowers you're using).
- Repeat until your flowers are all along the neckline.
- I used about 16 flowers, starting with 2 smaller flowers near the shoulder and then randomized, then ended with 2 small flowers.

Clairdee: Destination Moon
Mainstream Voice...Star Eyes Talent.. Clairdee and her excellent piano trio meld with one another to produce a recording of seamless swing. The upbeat numbers ("When the Lights are Low", "Destination Moon") delicately propel themselves, defying the natural order of things. The ballads ("Time after Time", "East of the Sun") are lush and velvet. "They Can't Take That Away From Me is a revelation.
Clairdee has a wonderful alto voice that she never uses to abuse The Canon. She sings straight ahead and in doing so provides these diamonds the respect warranted without being too reverential. A super initial effort making this critic beg for more, more!
Track Listing: When the Lights Are Low; Star Eyes; Tonight I Shall sleep with A Smile On My Face; I
Personnel: Clairdee: vocals; Ken French: Piano; John Wiitala; Eddie Marshall: Drums; Dmitri Matheny: Flugelhorn.

Jack Lemmon vs. Gay Director: Guess Who Won?
Screen icon Jack Lemmon was a genius, and thankfully his actor/musician son Chris Lemmon is keeping his unique voice alive.
Chris did his one-man show A Twist of Lemmon in a benefit performance at the Players Club last night, and I was there.
Among his anecdotes:
*The flaming George Cukor directed Jack in his first film, It Should Happen to You (1954), and after one energetic take of a scene, he said to the actor:
Upcoming Events
"Oh, gosh, Jackie, look at you go! It's really ducky, isn't it?
"But could you give me less, darling?"
Jack did less, but it wasn't enough for Cukor, who wanted even less.
This went on for a bunch more takes, after which Jack exasperatedly said, "If I gave you any less, I wouldn't be acting."
Replied Cukor, "Exactly!"
*Jack's "illegitimate brother" was his frequent co-star, the extremely dry Walter Matthau.
While shooting Buddy Buddy (1981), Matthau fell off a wooden plank, hit his head on the ground, and went unconscious.
Lemmon rushed to put a towel under his friend's head, cradle him, and ask, "Are you comfortable?"
Matthau half-opened his eyes and drolly replied, "I make a good living."
*Chris also loved his stepfather, Cliff Robertson, though he said Robertson instructed Chris to always introduce him to people as "Academy Award- and Emmy-winning Cliff Robertson"!
With Jack Lemmon, the honor and the glory spoke for themselves.
His favorite wisecrack, by the way, was "Go fuck yourself."
Once, when he and Chris were on a plane and it hit a bump, Jack opened his eyes, turned to Chris, and spat out, "Go fuck yourself," then went back to sleep.
I would have liked that guy.

There is something for everyone at the Berkshire Botanical Garden. Below is a list of our scheduled events classes, and exhibits. For details on any individual listing, just click on the event for more information. If you still have questions, feel free to call the garden at 413.298.3926. See you at the Garden!
Join Jacqueline van der Kloet for a talk on plant combinations in her garden designs. She will focus on how she combines bulbs, perennials, flowering shrubs and trees in a naturalistic garden style. Using a case-study approach, she will suggest perennials and spring flowering bulbs and how to use them in all kinds of situations: private gardens small and large, estates, public parks and exhibitions. The program will include her inspirational lecture, a short break and time devoted to the technical "how to" aspects of her designs. She will answer all of your bulb questions and suggest solutions.
Jacqueline van der Kloet is an internationally known garden designer based in Weesp, Holland. She is known for her artistic combinations of bulbs, perennials and flowering shrubs and trees. Her designs for public, private and corporate clients are found throughout Europe. She designed displays, both in 2002 and 2012, for Floriade, the international exhibition of flowers and gardening, held every ten years in the Netherlands. She renovated the bulb plantings at the famous Keukenhof Gardens in Lisse, Netherlands, and has worked extensively with "New Wave" garden designer Piet Oudolf to create bulb planting schemes for three of America's newest and most exciting public spaces: Millennial Park and the Lurie Garden in Chicago, Battery Park in New York City and the Seasonal Walk at the New York Botanical Garden. She has designed planting schemes at private gardens, including the Linden Allee at Martha Stewart's Bedford, NY, estate.
Join Peter Hatch, Emeritus Director of Gardens and Grounds at Monticello, for a journey into growing food in Thomas Jefferson's 1,000-foot-long vegetable and 7-acre fruit garden. Learn about this revolutionary garden and Jefferson's profound legacy in gardening, food and wine, as well as the enduring techniques used to maintain this historic but thoroughly inspiring garden. Thomas Jefferson wrote that "the greatest service which can be rendered any country is to add a useful plant to its culture." Monticello's 1,000-foot-long, terraced vegetable garden became an experimental laboratory, an Ellis Island of new and unusual vegetable novelties from the around the globe. While growing over 330 vegetable and 170 fruit varieties, Jefferson was also a pioneer in supporting farmers' markets and promoting vegetable cookery. This revolutionary garden resulted in a revolutionary cuisine in the kitchen at Monticello. Restored in 1984, the garden and the Jefferson legacy continue to inspire the farm-to-table movement today.
Peter J. Hatch is a professional gardener and historian with 38 years' experience in the restoration, care and interpretation of historic landscapes. A celebrated author of four books on the gardens of Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, where he served as Director of Gardens and Grounds for 35 years, Hatch has lectured in 36 states on Jefferson and the history of garden plants. Presently, he gardens and botanizes from his home on Lickinghole Creek in Crozet, Virginia, and travels extensively to promote his latest work, "A Rich Spot of Earth": Thomas Jefferson's Revolutionary Garden at Monticello, and consults on the installation and maintenance of both public gardens and private estate landscapes.

Learn skills essential for effective functional garden design that honor the site and meet client needs. Each week will cover a different topic or technique focusing on the importance of getting to know the client and site as a basis of effective and appealing design. Essential and easy to grasp design principles for those who design or install gardens will be introduced throughout the course with the goal of practicing a form-finding approach to garden design. The tools taught will provide a vocabulary essential for assessing a property's potential and problems, and for asking the right questions to realize client's wishes while avoiding common design mistakes. Learn how to make well considered and sustainable choices for the elements and materials commonly used in the residential scale garden. Features including fences, decks, terraces, garden furnishings, containers and ornaments will be covered with a focus on expanding the designer's vocabulary and palette. Students will select a project and take it from creative concept to completed design plan including schematic drawings, and planting plans. Each class will involve instruction and evaluation of projects in progress and will include both class instruction and studio time. Frequent group discussions and exercises will put the skills learned into action. Students will make a formal presentation at the final class. This course is the culmination of the Level II Certificate in Garden Design although all students are welcome.
Instructor – Chuck Schnell, M.A. has both a BA and MA in landscape design. He works in planning and design for WCLDA in Ashfield, MA. He is a recipient of the Garden Club of America McLaren Fellowship to study abroad. He has strong knowledge of ornamental plants, landscape design and construction expertise.

With summer fast approaching and already reaching the 100-degree mark, the thoughts of shoppers appear to be turning toward backyard barbecues, landscaping and staying cool.
Hank Bean, a sales associate in the Garden Center at Clovis' Wal-Mart Supercenter, said the store has been busy selling summer-type items the last two weeks.
"We are selling quite a few barbecue grills out here," Bean said. "What's really moving are the outdoor canopy swings. We're usually sold out of those each time we get a new shipment. And inside, we're selling quite a few of the wading pools."
Some people even were looking for ways to help other creatures in the heat.
"We don't do the barbecue thing, but we put out a bird bath," said Diane Christesson. "Now that the weather's nicer, we do some landscaping, too, and plant some vines."
At the Burns Hardware Do-It Center, assistant manager Joe Rodriguez said barbecue grills still remain one of the most popular items for summer preparation.
"We've been selling them pretty good," Rodriguez said. "We sell a lot of the Weber grills year-round, too."
When it comes to serious cooling off with an in-ground pool, people tend to plan ahead, as well.
"People generally start looking around the first of May because if they're getting a pool, they want it open for Memorial Day," said Judy Jones, owner of Lone Star Pool and Spa in Clovis. "It's been really busy."
Despite Sunday's scorching sun, a steady stream of people were flocking to load up at Wal-Mart on flowers for planting, along with decorative items for the garden and the yard.
"I got some stones to put in the front yard," said Manee Bloink, as she and her husband Tim looked for some petunias to add to the mix.
Marjorie Watkins filled a basket full with colorful flowers to plant outside the house she bought three years ago in Farwell.
"I got some flowers to put in and fool the neighbors into thinking I have a garden," Watkins said, with a laugh. "I don't have any grass. I buy for my yard all the time now."

How I was treated by Tesco for putting my son on the potty!(280 Posts)
My son turned 2 in May and we are mid potty training. Been in to places like Boots and M&S and got fold away potty out in store for my son to have a wee. I've also used it in Tesco with no complaints from them. This morning I went in and my son was crying 'wee wee'. Got him out of the buggy and put him on the potty - I wasn't in the middle of an aisle and went t clothes section where we'd be more hidden away as that section was close by to us. My son did a wee but come to get him back in the buggy and he had the most hideous tantrum. Once I got himm back in the buggy, I stood up to find 2 members of managerial staff stood over me. They told me that there was a toilet in the store where I should have taken my son to. I explained that he's just started potty training and when he needs a wee it has to be then and there and I don't have time to get him to a toilet. They told me they undestood that but that there was a toilet I should really have used. So again I explained that I don't have time to get him to the toilet. The woman then said 'it's not nice for our customers to see, it's not nice for your son and now you've just caused a big scene in the store'. I said 'well now you've made me feel absolutely rubbish' and they both walked off. I walked out of the store but thought 'no I'm not having that' and I went back and gave it to them both barrels that I was disgusted with the way I'd been treated, I'd been talked to very rudely and spoken to like I was a child myself. The senior manager came down and was very apologetic and I asked her of Tescos policy was that if there's a mother with a tantrumming child, do you train your staff to go over and tell the mother she's created a big scene in the store. She was very apologetic about the way I'd been treated. I'm still fuming. I've used the portable potty in other shops without complaints and I've seen other mums do the same in shops too - that's the whole purpose of the portable potty being invented. I just wanted people to know how badly Tesco have acted in this instance towards a mother potty training her 2 year old. Can anyone else recommend best places to post to make sure Tesco know I'm letting people know about this? Thanks.
Are you people crazy! i dont see any problem with that, when a toddler has togo their is no holding it, and frankly thats unhealthy. i have a 2yr 9month we carry the portable potty everywhere, if a toilet is not available then i will find a suitable place to the side and crouch round her. i haven't personally used it in a shop YET, but some of those tesco stores are huge and a distance to the toilet. i know lets let a toddler make a puddle on the floor because thats sooooo much more hygenic!
Ignore all the bloody 'I stayed at home until my chidren went to uni' martyrs. You did the best you could. I'd rather see a little one using a potty than weeing on the floor. All children are different and learn at different rates and all children have times when they've just got to go. Likewise not all mums can 'run' to the nearest loos. I hope you haven't felt down by some of these comments. I hope the training is going well. You've nothing to reproach yourself for.
just saw this post and good for you at getting your cherub to actually ask to go wee. who cares where it is . my dd asked in the middle of clarks shoe shop as older ds was being fitted for school shoes! i whipped out the full size potty (she hates the portable one ) and when other mums were glaring i calmly wiped her bottom, wrapped the whole lot in kitchen roll and poly bag, gave her a huge hug and went back to the shoe fitting. the assistant didn't bat an eyelid thanks to her. tesco, asda, whatever- needs must and it can be done hygenically as long as you are prepared. just ignore those with faces that look like a dog's bottom.
Glad to see this thread ended well. I think it was reasonable to be upset that they told you off for your ds having a tantrum though - tantrums are a separate issue.
Read the last couple of pages, Ophelia. Bubbles has had a thorough flaming and accepted it with immense grace and good humour. She accepted that SWBU so don't have a go at her.
Sorry but I think this is unreasonable. The world does not revolve around you child. If he cannot wait until you take him to the toilet and set the potty up there, then perhaps he is not ready for potty training. And it is unhygenic to just set up a potty at random in the middle of a shop. Yuk.
God people, why are you so harsh and judgemental?
If the OP judged her son not to be able to hold in until reaching the loo, what was she to do?
I certainly don't think this should be standard practice, but I also don't think the woman deserves to have her head bitten off, and I do think Tesco staff were insensitive about the situation, telling her that "she had caused a scene" by placing her little one on a foldaway potty. She did move somewhere more discreet AWAY from the food isles.
I had a foldaways potty too, with disposable bags, and took my son to the toilet regularly when out. However, once we got caught out in GAP, where there are absolutely no toilets, and I did exactly the same thing; we found a secluded corner for DS to do a week. I then sealed the bag, quickly folded the potty and carried on. Wouldn't it have been more of a scene if the wet himself in the middle of the store?
I am amazed how ready women are to crucify one another...
Just my 2 cents...
Ooh a poster taking a flaming with grace. I think mumsnet wings are well and truly earned
I'm totally with Tesco on this.
Thats just plain disgusting! seriously??? A supermarket? I would have complained to staff if i saw your dc pissing in tesco. Good grief they sell food for gods sake.
It's just a bit of Pish. My standards are obviously quite low . But I really don't see what was so awful about a very small child having a wee in the supermarket. Now a big steaming dump.....
Well done for taking your shoeing like a true MN. And I hope you start to feel better soon.
Well done Bubbles, it was brave to come back! FWIW I would probably have considered getting the portapotty out; but am a little stressed by 6 weeks of potty training...I would have found it difficult to run to the toilets with toddler and one year old. DH just read this thread over my shoulder, and instantly said he'd put our DD on a potty in Tesco.
Having read all the replies, however, I'm surprised at the level of outrage; but will certainly take on board some of those points for myself. More 'toilet' training, less 'potty' training. Although I think we're going back to nappies for DD for a month or so now.
Welcome to Mumsnet. Good luck with the PND, I hope you have real life support.
Hope you feel better soon Bubbles, and you get some support from others on here re the PND.
If we're sharing cringey moments, then I still squirm in embarrassment at the memory of me changing my pfb's
shitty, rotten, stinking nappy on the floor of my friend's dining room where about fifteen people were eating a buffet lunch.
Seven years on, and two further children later, I still don't know what I was thinking and I never did anything like that again.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.

Pnd is horrible!!
I had it for a while but never admitted it until last year.
A.ds helped me cope (took them for a month) and then I just realised I have to snap out of it and be the mum I was meant to be.
It takes a while to realise that.
I do hope you have a loving family who can support you along the way
They could have handled it better, but I still do not think that the clothing aisle in any supermarket is a suitable place to put a child on the potty. I think it is pretty nasty, actually.
Plus, as has already been said, it is better toilet training for the child to learn to wait for the few moments it takes to get to the toilet.
Tesco's should not have been so rude to you.
Sorry bubble I was just going to apolagise to you when my ipod went dead. I should have indeed read all the replies and usually ( well mostly).do but for some reason didn't today. Bubbles I apolagise again and of couse YANBVU now but I am for my last post. Glad you are feling better and you are a great Mum.
bubble you are v cool. I can't take criticism at all - get stroppy and horrible. Note to self - be better at stepping down when wrong!
Hope you get some help on the PND - and welcome!
Another one who just reads the first post. YABVU Mumeeee.
Guess you haven't read the whole thread mumeeee, or at least the last page.
YABVU Tesco was right. Putting a child on a potty in a middle of the store is not a good thing to do. They had a toilet so you could have taken your DS there or taken him outside. You said you found a quiet place in clothing so presumably you didn't put him on the potty as soon as he asked. I have 3 DDs and when they were toddlers I used to carry the potty around with me. I was relaxed about putting them in it when they needed to go but would never put them on in a middle of a shop.
Bubble well done for coming back and taking it all on board. I had PND too. Definitely see your GP and get some meds if they think it necessary. They are amazing! And stick around here. For a "nest of vipers" these women don't half provide a lot of support and friendship.
We LOVE people who can take a good flaming with grace and a pleasant attitude.
I think you are a much liked member here already!
I got through pnd through exercise. And by help of a supportive husband who literally dragged me out of the house and on a bike. A shiny new bike he bought me in Halfords. I had not been on a bike for years.
We brought the baby monitor out on the green in front of our house, after dark, and dh ran next to me holding the bike steady as I wobbled on.
The weight started coming off, and my mood lifted by fresh air and exercise.
Bubble you are absolutely brilliant for taking the responses with such fantastic humour and grace. I'm so sorry to read that you are suffering with PND, I hope that you find the love and support here to be as great as it has been and is with so many on MN.
In my post yesterday I absolutely sided with Tesco on this, and I do, but also I suggested that he may not be ready if you are having to rely on stop immediately training IYSWIM. Set aside a few days and master it at home. I found with my four that when they were ready it was 2-3 days max. With my one DS the first time I tried training, by the 4th day it was clear he just wasn't ready to 'get' it, so I left it a month or so and then it was 2 days all sorted.
Good luck with everything. What a great sport!

Utah Rocks: Adventures Among The Arches And The Rapids (Part I)
You know how it feels when you witness something so astonishingly exquisite and surreal it literally takes your breath away, and all you can do is gasp in amazement?
"I'd like to welcome everyone to Steve's Cruise Lines. I am your skipper, Captain Steve. I promise this will be a truly memorable experience for all of you, and … yes, madam?"
"Excuse me, but when we signed up for a dream cruise we expected to see a, you know, cruise ship. If you don't mind me asking, where's the boat?"
"That's a very good question, and I'm delighted you asked it. On the beach to your right, or should I say, starboard, you'll see our handsome auxiliary fleet, which will provide excell …"
"You're joking, right? Tell me this is all a silly prank, and any minute a big liner will pull up to the pier and carry us off for a week of elegant dining, world-class entertainment and romantic getaways in exotic ports …"
"The lady's right! You don't expect us to get in those tiny – what are they, anyway, some kind of canoes?"
"This is crazy!"
"I want my money back!"
"I'm calling my lawyer!"
"Hold on, settle down everybody. Now, as all of you are doubtlessly aware, Carnival Cruise Line's Triumph encountered difficulties in the Gulf of Mexico the other day and was forced to ground all its liners while authorities inspected the rest of the fleet. If you take a close look at the travel contracts you signed when you booked your cruise, Carnival reserves the right to substitute ships and itineraries in the event of unforeseen contingencies. An engine fire certainly constitutes an unforeseen contingency. Carnival realizes how much you've been looking forward to your vacations, so rather than postponing your voyage and refunding your money the company decided to made arrangements with Steve's Cruise lines to provide an exciting alternative to the cruise ship experience."
"In kayaks?!"
"That's right, sir. I could tell that you are a man with an extensive seafaring background, which will make your voyage with Steve's Cruise Lines all the more rewarding. Now, as I started to say, there are a few items we need to go over before embarkation. First of all, can I see a show of hands, how many of you know how to execute an Eskimo roll or a high brace? … I see … Anybody familiar with the basic forward stroke? … All right, let's back up – has any one actually been in a kayak? … Really? Hmm, well, there's really not much to learn. Hop in, start paddling – boom, you're a kayaker. Of course, we'll need to practice a few open-water rescue drills and wet exits, but I assure you mastering those skills is no more challenging than, say, rappelling down a cliff or traversing a glacier. Yes, madam, another question?"
"What about food? Carnival promised unlimited, round-the-clock access to international cuisine?"
"And Steve's Cruise Lines offers comparable fare, also available 24-7. You'll notice dry bags next to the kayaks. Each one contains five pounds of Brazil nuts, a quart of Israeli hummus, three pounds of Chinese noodles, a wheel of Jarlsberg cheese and a six-pack of Guinness. You don't get any more international than THAT!"
"What about sleeping quarters? We signed up for upper-deck staterooms!"
"The hammocks now stowed in your forward hatches can be hung as high as you like once we get to a campground in port."
"I was reading about that engine fire on the Triumph before we arrived here. It knocked out the air conditioning, the lights, the TOILETS…"
"Yes, but you won't encounter any of those difficulties with Steve's Cruise Lines. We rely only on fresh, natural air to keep our passengers comfortable, and I can assure you the sea breezes will keep you cool during the day, especially considering it's the middle of February. As for illumination, I personally changed the batteries on each of your headlamps only yesterday. As for your last concern, each of your survival kits contains a copy of a wonderfully informative manual, whose title I have modified slightly to avoid unnecessary offense: 'How to Poop at Sea.'"
"Are you saying we'll have to …"

Vidya Balan & Ranbir Kapoor shine at FilmfareMeena Iyer | TNN | Jan 31, 2012, 12.00 AM IST
The Akhtar siblings Farhan and Zoya stole the show at the 57th Idea Filmfare Awards. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Zoya's second outing as director, won seven awards including Best Film (Popular and Critics' Choice), Best Director, Best Dialogue, Best Cinematography, Best Supporting Actor (Farhan) and Best Choreography.
Imtiaz Ali's musical drama Rockstar won leading man Ranbir Kapoor two trophies (Popular and Critics' Choice), while AR Rahman's score for the film won him his 20th trophy. It was befitting then that Filmfare chose to give the Oscar winner the historic 2,500th statuette encrusted with a diamond. Clutching two ladies dressed in black — one being wife Saira and the other being the coveted 'Black Lady' Filmfare trophy — the maestro beamed and said, "I'm thrilled!"
Playback singer Mohit Chauhan, nominated for Sadda Haq and Jo Bhi Main from Rockstar, picked up the trophy for the latter. Lyricist Irshad Kamil too had two songs up for nomination — Sadda Haq and Nadaan Parindey — with Sadda Haq getting left out again in the Best Lyrics category.
Vidya Balan picked up the Best Actress trophy for her perfect impersonation of Silk Smitha in The Dirty Picture. The film also picked up an award for Best Costume. However, the Critics' Award for Best Actress went to Priyanka Chopra for her act as a serial killer in 7 Khoon Maaf. Child actor Partho Gupte, who played an endearing Stanley in father Amole Gupte's Stanley Ka Dabba, also picked up a Special Jury Certificate for Outstanding Talent.
Delhi Belly, which had 11 nominations, won director Abhinay Deo his first trophy and took home four awards in all. Shah Rukh Khan also stood vindicated. RA.One may not have got him acting honours, but the film's special effects won the Best SFX trophy.
But the night really belonged to the Akhtar siblings, who went home with two trophies each, leaving parents Javed and Honey Irani teary-eyed.

Wow, I think this was the first truly great game on this website! I especially appreciate how it's just non stop action. Yeah, the graphics don't hold up well, but it's still great! You get a clear understanding of what you need to hit. I admit it's hard sometimes. I can't tell which part of the ship you shoot.
I thought I was staying in the same place the whole time. Instead, it was obvious I was moving around. That only makes it better! The sounds are pretty good too. I love early great stuff.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I remember playing this YEAR ago! (Just like alot of other ppl) And if this game got a remake to a, more non-onrail shooter, it would be one of the best games i have played! 16 years ago! DAMN!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Just remembered playing this game as a kid. Wow, 15 years ago and it's still a great game especially for its time. It would be incredible to see a remake of this and the other games in its trilogy.
Definitely one of the major influences of my budding love of sci-fi during my prepubescent years.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I remember playing this game YEARS ago when I was a little tyke. Kind of an obsession, actually. It was one of those Holy Grails of my youth, and one of those games that I feel would be AMAZING to be converted into a present day shooter with all the bells and whistles.
Incidentally, I'm hoping to be able to acquire knowledge in regards to some of the tracks. I recognized a lot of them; intro music being the opening of Got the Life by Korn for example; but the main theme struck me as odd. It's a techno variation of the Homeworld theme if I'm not mistaken. I really hope that I can get my hands on it in the near future.

"Over the years, most punk bands have moved away from the anti-authoritarian themes and lighter comedic lyrics, but 30 Dirty Thoughts has stayed true to its' punk roots writing hilarious songs such as "Jenny Got Busted," "Auto-Tune This! Singing Like a Douchebag," and "OMGWTFBBQ911." They even have (gasp!) a song that may or may not be critical of the government, called "Love In The Time of Recession." Says Kelk, "Jenny Got Busted [a song about a friend getting breast implants] was about a real situation. I walked into a bar to meet my old friend and I literally didn't recognize her. I mean I saw her, but is that what I look at? Am I that guy? ...She ended up playing the song at her wedding reception and her new husband pretended to take a swing at me." Their album "Hard Times" is pop punk that reaches back to punk's comedic roots. And unlike the kind of roots that need color or bleach every four to six weeks, these are nice to see."
"There's a band in L.A. that is earnest about keeping up what it describes as "punk infused awesomeness," and "30 Dirty Thoughts" lives up to its word. I remember living in New York when CBGB-OMFUG opened in the lower East Side and punk, what with The Ramones and The Patti Smith Group, seemed like audio anarchy though I got it about addressing social issues. These guys keep punk tradition proud as they let loose straight-ahead raw energy coursing through frantic vocal chords, arms and limbs. They got the chops, and the audio tech smarts, to be one of the top ranked bands in their genre. And they are very clever too. Can you think of anyone else who has written a love song for the Great Recession?"
"For six weeks, garbage piled up in Toronto parks and arenas, was strewn by the curbside and even left to rot in the middle of the road. Most people were disgusted, some were outraged. One Torontonian was so angry he highlighted the plight of the city in a song. He even shot a video and posted it on YouTube."

Three blind mice,
Three blind mice,.
See how they run!
See how they run!
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails,
With a carving knife.
Did you ever see such a thing in your life,
As three blind mice.
This song was originally posted at:
Information About 3 Blind Mice
"Three Blind Mice" is an old English nursery rhyme first published in the folk music compilation "Deuteromelia" or "The Seconde part of Musicks melodie".
The origins of "3 Blind Mice" are said to be 1609 when it was published in Deuteromelia by Thomas Ravenscroft - who was just a teenager at the time. Additionally, there is some historical meaning in the lyrics as well.
It is thought that the song was made at an earlier time for Queen Mary I of England who blinded and executed 3 Protestant bishops. However, these three were burned at the stake which made some believe that the blinded part of the song was because they were Protestant.
The rhyme then became part of children's literature in 1842 when it was published in a collection written by James Orchard Halliwell.
The song is a rhyming song that tells of three blind mice that ran after a wife, who cut their tails off and then they ran off again. There are also different variations that are sung.
The Three Blind Mice are now seen everywhere throughout fairy tales, such as in the children's movie Shrek.
For further information about the song "3 Blind Mice" check out Wikipedia.

Three blind mice, three blind mice
See how they spin, see how they spin
They pin the tail on the kitty cat,
While wearing silly party hats.
Did you ever see such a silly sight,

Three Blind Mice,
Three Blind Mice,

The Miller and his merry olde Wife,
She scrapte her tripe licke thou the knife.
Just one verse for this one
Three blind mice,
See how they run!
They all ran after a farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife.
Did you ever see such a sight in your life,
As three blind mice?

Hello, Recently I was watching "New Tricks" a UK crime series, when I heard one of the main characters, Chief Superintendant Sandra Pullman say: "Jack, you have the luck of the three blind mice!" I am curious about the meaning as I could not find any references whatsoever to the mice being lucky (with their tails cut off, etc). Does it mean he was lucky (in finding a clue or something else) beyond any reasonable expectations or was it just the opposite, he had no luck in finding anything? The context of the story tells me that Jack was lucky indeed, but I have never heard this expression used neither in spoken nor in written language. This may be due to the fact that I am not a native speaker of English. I would really appreciate a native speaker's input. Thank you.

Many songs that are popular from the past have a history and many of them I dont sing because of the topic being inapropriate for lil ones. My daughter cried when I told her the rock a bye baby song. She thought I was going to put her in a tree and let her fall. So I am careful now. Just a thought for other out there.
