Grace Paley, a writer of such smooth and lithe sentences she could be named nothing else but "Grace," fashioned a world that is at once of the past and utterly contemporary.
Her first published work, "The Little Disturbances of Man," appeared in 1959 and was unlike anything else that was being written at the time.
On the surface it appears to be yet another book of stories about men and women trying to get along in a universe that seems to be conspiring against them. But Paley's characters are far from ordinary, beginning with the feisty Rose of the first story, "Goodbye and Good Luck," who eschews a typical married life to pursue a love affair with a married actor in a nearby Yiddish theater. Paley writes Rose's voice with verve, creating descriptive phrases no one else could dream of:
"If there was more life in my little sister," Rose announces, "she would know my heart is a regular college of feelings and there is such information between my corset and me that her whole married life is a kindergarten."
Paley's stories feature melancholy, broken people like Faith, the semi-autobiographical narrator of "The Used-Boy Raisers" and "A Subject of Childhood," and exuberant teenagers too ready for love such as Josephine in "A Woman, Young and Old."
And many of the stories contain the kind of cultural clashes too few writers can do well, but which Paley handles with unequaled style and wit.
In "The Loudest Voice," a Yiddish family is dismayed at their daughter, Shirley, having to act in a Christmas nativity pageant. She is chosen because she has a voice that will reach the cheap seats. When it happens that the school's Christian children end up with only bit parts, Shirley's mother justifies the irony this way: "Ach. . . . they got very small voices; after all, why should they holler? The English language they know from the beginning by heart."
Paley's male protagonists are among the saddest and most complex. The happy-go-lucky ladies man who narrates "The Contest" winds up getting ill-used by a woman who seems like a "good" girl. The teenage genius of "In Time Which Made a Monkey of Us All" tries to use his intelligence to make a statement about peace and commits a tragic blunder that kills the only thing he loves.
These stories stick with us long after we have finished them, like a hearty serving of matzo ball soup and a bagel with a schmear.
This quick version of the French classic is adapted from Jamie Oliver's "Meals in Minutes" (2011, Hyperion). In Paley's story, "A Woman, Young and Old," Josephine's mother longs for her handsome French husband, who abandoned her.
1 red onion or 1 Vidalia onion, peeled
2 ¼ pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (4 to 5 medium), skins on
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
1 cup heavy whipping cream
4 anchovies in oil, chopped fine
2/3 cup Parmesan cheese (divided)
1 small bunch fresh thyme, divided into sprigs
2/3 cup boiling water
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Slice onion and potatoes in food processor for quick processing.
Tip sliced onions and potatoes into a 13-inch-by-9-inch flame-proof baking dish or pan. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with nutmeg and garlic. Pour in cream. Add in anchovies and 1/3 cup Parmesan. Pluck a few leaves from a thyme sprig and add to potatoes. Stir lightly with a spatula or using your hands. Arrange neatly in pan. Pour in boiling water, cover tightly with foil and place over medium heat. Cook for 15 minutes.
Remove foil and sprinkle over remaining Parmesan cheese. Place olive oil in shallow bowl and roll remaining sprigs of thyme through it to coat. Arrange coated sprigs over top of potato dish and bake uncovered in preheated oven 15 minutes.
This recipe, a standard of the Yiddish kitchen, is adapted from "Jewish Home Cooking: Yiddish Recipes Revisited" (Ten Speed Press, 2008) by Arthur Schwartz. He explains, "smart-aleck New Yorkers who enjoyed speaking lingo that tourists couldn't understand used to call lox, eggs and onions 'a LEO'."
It is almost certain that Paley ate LEO growing up - and it would be a staple in the Yiddish kitchens of her characters. Schwartz notes that the everyday presentation of a LEO looks like large-curd scrambled eggs, but for fancier affairs, such as brunch, some prefer to cook it whole like a pancake and then slice it into wedges, which is what we have done here.
For the most authentic taste, use ordinary salted lox instead of smoked salmon. The lox must be soaked in milk to allow some of the salt to leach out.
¼ pound sliced salted lox (see note)
2 tablespoons milk
4 tablespoons (½ stick) butter (divided)
2 medium onions, cut into ¼-inch dice (about 2 cups)
8 eggs
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Cut lox into ¼-inch to ½-inch squares and place pieces in a shallow bowl. Cover with milk. Set aside for about 30 minutes.
In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat 3 tablespoons butter to bubbling over medium-high heat. Add onions and fry, stirring frequently until wilted, about 5 minutes.
Break eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk vigorous a few seconds to fluff them up. Scrape cooked onions into eggs. Drain lox (discard milk) and add to mixing bowl. Stir mixture well.
In same skillet used to cook onions, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture. Shake and swirl pan lightly for the first few minutes to distribute mixture evenly. Cover mixture, turn heat to medium-low and cook about 7 to 10 minutes, until center is nearly firm. Turn off heat. Cover again and allow to sit about 5 minutes, until center is firm. Season with pepper, slice into wedges and serve immediately.
Note: Salted lox is available at the fish counter at some Sendik's stores. If unavailable, smoked salmon may be substituted, but omit soaking it in milk.
This chard dish goes well with the potatoes and eggs.
1 bunch rainbow chard
½ red pepper, cut into ¼-inch dice (about ¼ cup)
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 to 2 tablespoons prepared basil pesto
Wash and dry chard well. Slice stalks into ¼-inch dice. Slice green tops into ¼-inch strips.
In skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add red pepper and chard stalks and fry about 3 to 5 minutes, until soft. Add pesto and cook another minute or so. Add chard greens and stir-fry 5 to 7 minutes, until well coated and wilted.
Serve immediately.
In "The Pale Pink Roast," a child runs off to get an ice cream, leaving her mother and estranged father to get reacquainted. When the child returns with a lime Popsicle, mother and father are almost back together.
This dish could be a deconstructed version of the lime Popsicle.
Juice of 6 limes (about 1 cup)
Zest of 3 limes (divided)
2 cups fine sugar
3 to 4 cups finely crushed or shaved ice
Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Combine lime juice, zest of 2 limes and the sugar in a non-reactive saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar is melted. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 7 to 10 minutes, until mixture is clear and thickens slightly. Let cool or refrigerate.
Divide ice among 6 serving bowls, mounding slightly. Pour cooled syrup over ice. Sprinkle with a bit of remaining lime zest, garnish with mint leaves and serve.

Previous studies have shown that a single question may identify individuals with inadequate health literacy. We evaluated and compared the performance of 3 health literacy screening questions for detecting patients with inadequate or marginal health literacy in a large VA population.
We conducted in-person interviews among a random sample of patients from 4 VA medical centers that included 3 health literacy screening questions and 2 validated health literacy measures. Patients were classified as having inadequate, marginal, or adequate health literacy based on the Short Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults (S-TOFHLA) and the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine (REALM). We evaluated the ability of each of 3 questions to detect: 1) inadequate and the combination of "inadequate or marginal" health literacy based on the S-TOFHLA and 2) inadequate and the combination of "inadequate or marginal" health literacy based on the REALM.
Measurements and Main Results
Of 4,384 patients, 1,796 (41%) completed interviews. The prevalences of inadequate health literacy were 6.8% and 4.2%, based on the S-TOHFLA and REALM, respectively. Comparable prevalences for marginal health literacy were 7.4% and 17%, respectively. For detecting inadequate health literacy, "How confident are you filling out medical forms by yourself?" had the largest area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUROC) of 0.74 (95% CI: 0.69–0.79) and 0.84 (95% CI: 0.79–0.89) based on the S-TOFHLA and REALM, respectively. AUROCs were lower for detecting "inadequate or marginal" health literacy than for detecting inadequate health literacy for each of the 3 questions.
A single question may be useful for detecting patients with inadequate health literacy in a VA population.

Let me amend that:
DO NOT BRING THEM NEAR THE VIDEO ROOMS. Don't point 'em in the door, even. (Yes, somebody did try this one once.)
Don't bring them into any screening of anything.
The licensing agreements that we have with various companies do, in fact, require me to be a dick about it. In some cases, in so many words.
So, since, y'know, we want to be on good terms with the companies that bring these shows over... don't even try it.
There are other rules, too-- Don't go filming Japanese guests unless you know that they're cool with it, for example. And someone from another department may have other things to add to this.
But the video rooms? Don't. Just don't.

However, for anyone who has the option, we'd really prefer that you not bring your cameras into the video rooms at all.
And if you ever point your camera at anything in the video rooms, out you go!

Okay, another set of words: As I said before, I'm contractually obligated, as part of the screening arrangement, to not allow recording of the screening. Representatives of these companies often attend the conventions, too.
Camera phones are an issue, of course, but they're less of one in the video rooms, since I have yet to hear of one that can record two hours of footage. (Of course, if we catch anyone using one to record anything, out they go!)
Anyway, sorry, but no. We're sticking with the rules as stated above.

It would be nice, to allow cameras but unfortunately the first thing that people do when they hear a rule is to look for a way around it. They only care about getting what they want, not respecting the wishes of the artists, talent, or the people that they work for.
I would like nothing more than to photograph another concert, but when I do so it will be by the rules of the venue. That means no photos.
There's a no mosh rule, a no cutting rule, but there are going to be those who are going to do it any way, and ruin it for everybody.

I think as long as it's very obvious that you are not using it, it won't be a problem if you bring it wherever you go. Like if you bring your camcorder into a video room. Have it in it's bag and put it by your feet.
(but hey, that's just saying from my experience... it may be different this year)
But if you do have someone you can trust near, it would always be best if you leave it with them or in your room.

Most professional concerts don't allow any type of recording so that should come as no surprise because they have management that want to control their image & prevent bootlegging (not to mention it would be annoying if everyone in the audience was holding up cameras).
Recording panels would be on a case by case basis & I believe most non guests panels would be ok. Don't count on JP voice actor or band panels since with either of these they'll likely also have management that again want to control their publicity. So a guest such as Kenichi Sonoda would probably be ok in that regard. This has just been my experience as a veteran con attendee.

I have another few words for you:
Copyright Infringement.
As was mentioned, we have agreements with our video providers and our music labels. They don't allow recording of their stuff except by their own people.
If you get caught recording any of our videos, you will be ejected from the event in question and we will watch while you erase your device's memory, or you will turn over the tape used. If you are caught recording any of our concerts, it will be as above and in addition, the music label may wish to levy other penalties, including fines for illegally recording their licensed music.
Video programming staff and IRT will be keeping an eye out for such violations.
Just saying...

I'm glad at least in your AU they seemed to have found a balance of understanding. I was also a little peeved about not exploring Sam's depression arc that was blooming not only from the 4 months but from having to deal with the stress of his powers and Dean. I felt that that would have helped explain what Sam was going through alot of that season and not just immediately blame him and call him a traitor. I really enjoyed your story. ~Charity
| Visionairy chapter 1 . 1/10/2011
I wasn't sure I wanted to read a tag to Metamorphosis right now, but I downloaded it anyway - and I am so glad I did. This was a wonderful read, the boys are both right in character, and I loved the way you showed how Dean was frustrated with trying to understand Sam at this time, and how Sam is trying so hard to deal with what was going on with him. I also thought your interaction between Dean and Ruby was perfect - he doesn't want to trust, but has to to save Sam. I cannot wait to read your next chapter! Excellent!

Ruby! Oh how I've missed you. I always felt that more could have been done with Dean and Ruby, and how they might clash over 'doing the best' for Sam. So I'm very excited about this.
I really love how you've taken Sam's statement that he's done with it all and really ran with it. More please.
| ziggy.uk chapter 1 . 1/9/2011
Great start and so in tune with what was happening in Season 4. You got the chasm in their relationship spot on there, Dean not being able to read his little brother and Sam totally different from the brother he was before he went to hell. Not at all surprised Ruby was scared Sam was going to die, after all she has this role mapped out for him in freeing Lucifer, and she wants her plan to succeed at all costs.
Definitely looking forward to more.

I Commit to Loveby Howard Hewett
Howard Hewett made a smooth transition from being a member of the trio Shalamar to becoming a bona fide solo artist. His first single to hit the Billboard R&B charts was the romantically enchanting "I'm for Real." Too fast to be a ballad and not fast enough to be a jam, Hewett still captivated radio and his audience with this moderate number. The Ohio native glides from his lacerating tenor to his striking falsetto highs supported by cogent backing vocals. The classic piece peaked at number two on the charts. The single "Stay" has a crossover appeal, but it never made a dent in the pop charts. It is not half as impressive as "I'm for Real." However, it did manage to show at number eight on the Billboard R&B charts. "I Commit to Love" falls short as well. It too is saturated with pop seasonings. Nonetheless, it tipped in at number 12 on the Billboard R&B charts. The final release was the inspirational selection "Say Amen," which is Hewett's personal testimony of being given a second chance after his battle with life's various vices. It has become an anthem for many. Inside ten weeks, it peaked at number 54. The shortcoming on this album is the material. As Hewett can deliver on the vocals, the songs do nothing for his talent as they lack excitement and mesmerizing melodies; the two elements commonly associated with his great voice.

Corin: ConfrontationMature
"Can't sleep?"
As always it was nearly impossible to sneak up on Kate. Coming to a halt a few feet behind her, I answered her question, allowing a little sarcasm to lace my voice.
"No I was just enjoying a walk in the wee hours of the morning."
There was silence, and for a moment I wondered if I had said the wrong thing.
"I keep thinking about the fae that almost bit my head off. All I can see when I try to sleep is its mouth," she finally replied, her voice unusually quiet.
I waited for the dry follow-up remark, but it never came. Kate was being serious.
"Well you could always dream about my face instead..." I said, in an attempt to lighten the mood.
Kate turned and fixed me with a glare, "Surely that would be a nightmare Marshall."
I winced inwardly. "All a matter of perspective I suppose. I won't lie, the fae have me a little out of sorts as well. I can't say I'm looking forward to the battle tomorrow."
"We're all scared," Kate said flatly, the vulnerability from earlier now gone, "But as long as we have each other's backs..." She let the thought hang in the air. "How is your arm?"
Again I was taken slightly by surprise, "It's good... thanks."
Nodding brusquely Kate said, "Yes, well you wouldn't be much use otherwise would you?"
And here I was starting to think she cared. Foolish Corin.
"Ah, no I suppose not."
A look of disbelief came over Kate's face, "Did I upset you? You realize this is only temporary. I thank you for saving my life, but... it doesn't change anything. After this, it all goes back to us versus you. It's just how it is."
"How can you say that so nonchalantly?" I challenged, my voice starting to raise, "Does it not disappoint you?"
"It disappoints me that there continues to be injustice, but I know that there will always be those who never seek to change it. And I will always be there to fight them."
I grimaced, "Funny. That sounds a lot like my own job description."
"Oh yes," drawled Kate, "What a noble cause is yours. How could I forget?"
I exhaled sharply, "What we do is more alike then you might think Kate."
"I have never tortured, whipped, or whored anyone!" Kate snapped, "I've never imposed taxes that surpass the income of poor folk. And I do not treat anyone like they are my personal slave!"
She took a breath and continued, "Fair enough, we may kill sometimes and we may steal, but it is only so that those who cannot afford to eat may feed their starving children. If only those in power would show kindness, and a bit of common sense, everyone would be fed well and everything would be run smoothly."
She paused for a moment and looked away. When she continued her voice was almost wistful, "And we all might have gotten a chance at a normal life."
"It's more complicated than you think Kate" I said quietly. "You can't just abolish taxes, and give everyone food."
I looked her in the eye, "And perhaps you have never done any of that stuff, like I've never robbed the government, or lived in the forest, or stole. When it comes down to it, both of us our protecting the "established order" as we see it."
"I don't mean abolish them. Everyone should work together, the poor should not be charged over their means while the rich sit at banquet every night. If everyone shared food equally..." She trailed off. "Why am I trying to explain this to you? All you've known is comfort." She spat, "You wouldn't understand."
That hit a nerve. My life, especially childhood had been far from comfortable. My father had made sure of that.
"Kate if you knew anything about me... but of course you don't, God forbid you actually try to understand anything other than your own foolish quest for... justice? Revenge?" I shook my head.
"The government is tied Kate. Charge too little and it can't operate. Charge too much and those with the money we need leave. You can't simply solve this problem by killing the Sheriff. What you're describing... would entail everyone in the world working together for the good of someone other than themselves. Good luck with that."
"Oh I'm sorry, when was the last time you tried to understand us?!" Kate's voice began to rise, "Charge the rich more and the poor less! It is only since Prince John's reign while the rightful King is at war that we have had this problem to this extent." She walked a short distance away, then turned and stomped right back.
"And for your information Corin, it is not so one sided. You know nothing of me either!"
"No! I don't! But I don't presume to judge you now do I?"
I poked a finger at her, "And no Kate it wouldn't be easier," I practically shouted, "because not everyone shares your utopian dream! Some people out there are selfish bastards who don't care about who they hurt, only what they get! And I don't see how following orders makes ME a bad guy!"
Kate's voice grew deadly quiet, "Oh I think you do." She started towards me slowly, her voice filled with venom, "I see you watching me all the time and I can only think that you're judging every move I make. And that's the difference between you and I. You follow orders because it's easier. I oppose you because it has to be done."
I threw up my hands and barked a short exasperated laugh, "Judgment? Is that what you see? Then you really DON'T know anything! And is it really easier Kate? Does loyalty mean nothing to you? If one of your friends became something terrible would you so easily give the order to get rid of them?"
"Why else would such an upstanding young man seek to throw his looks upon a woman? One whom he sees as akin to an animal, as all your men do? And I am loyal to our rightful king, I am loyal to the villagers, and I am loyal to my friends and loved ones."
Kate started to pace back and forth as she spoke, "Why should I be loyal to a Sheriff who enhances his own greed to the harm of others? My friends would never support this cause and if they did, I would not wish harm upon them, as I never wished harm upon your men."
She stopped her pacing and got up in my face as she finished her rant, "Causalities of war are an unfair but somehow unavoidable occurrence, something my FEET might agree to!" She pushed me when she said "feet" and it took everything I had not not go after her.
Kate didn't understand. She didn't know. She never did, and I was beginning to think she never would. She never hesitated to reference the injuries I caused to her feet... but even there she was mistaken.
Kate thought she was the only one who had been tortured that day...
Anger at her for using that against me, anger that she just didn't get it, coursed through me. I stood over her, and tried to let as much anger out as I could by yelling. If I didn't... I'd do something I would regret.
"You think I wanted to do that!?" I bellowed, "Are you really foolish enough to believe that? Has living in this forest rendered you brainless!?"
Kate got in my face again, the two of us closer than we were even in the forest when I saw my first glimpse of the fae, but neither of us noticed, neither of us cared.
"I think you like causing pain to other people," She snarled, "I think maybe you do it because that's what your FATHER did to yo-"
My hand had let fly and I didn't even try to stop it. Kate stared at me with a mixture of shock and fury, and then before I knew what was happening, she slapped me back.
And then... we were kissing.

Putting weight behind MSA
Location: Dyraaba, NSW
Enterprise: Beef cattle targeting MSA yearling market
Producer: Tom Amey
Soil type: Ranging from sandy to clay loams of alluvial and basalt origins
Pasture type: An ongoing improvement program is targeting species and management to microclimates and land capability
Northern NSW beef producer Tom Amey has spent 12 years refining his herd based on feedback from Meat Standards Australia (MSA).
By adopting a policy of using MSA feedback figures to guide breeding decisions, Tom made calculated changes – like moving from Charolais to Murray Grey sires over his composite cows, which are half Brahman and a quarter each Murray Grey and Fresian.
The move gave him the extra carcase fat cover he needed to more reliably hit MSA grading, without significantly denting weight gains.
For Tom, hitting MSA criteria means a premium of about 20¢/kg compared to delivering his cattle into a non-MSA system – or about $40 extra per calf.
With a relatively small herd, every extra dollar counts. In this way, Tom's whole beef operation has evolved around meeting MSA, so misses are rare.
Of the last mob of 180 weaners he trucked, only one didn't make the MSA grade – a heifer who started cycling in the slaughter yards, lifting her meat pH levels above acceptable limits.
Now Tom has a productive genetics program giving reliable results, he's looking at other ways of using MSA to boost productivity from the 230 ha and 240 ha farms he owns with wife Cathy north-west of Casino.
Building a herd's management around MSA grading is a "no-brainer", Tom remarked.
"People look at it as being really hard. It's just not. Whatever the challenges of producing a good carcase are, they are the challenges you have to address to work with MSA," he said.
Understanding the drivers
To push productivity, Tom's focused on the one figure on the MSA feedback sheet that has little to do with the way the animal grades: eye muscle area (EMA).
That's because while MSA measures a lot of things, those measurements are mostly aimed at consumer satisfaction, not at producer profitability.
The single biggest predictor of return to the producer is beef yield.
"The whole yield thing doesn't come into play in MSA," Tom said.
"You need to take into account muscularity yourself. That's why EMA is so important – it's an indicator of the total muscularity of the carcase, and also retail beef yield."
Tom tracks EMA performance back to his Murray Grey bulls – bought in on the basis of their performance figures, balanced against the stud breeder's knowledge of how different sire lines perform in the real world.
He also places a strong emphasis on temperament, which can influence pH levels at the time of slaughter.
By building EMA in his herd, based on continuous feedback from the MSA feedback sheets, he aims to continue to steadily grow its profitability, as he has done since he adopted MSA in 2000.
"Weaners are turned off at 9.5–10 months, at weights of about 200 kilograms (carcase weight).
Calves are given access to grain on a creep-feed basis, a relatively minor cost that is well repaid in extra weight gain and finish," Tom said.Dyraaba, NSW

Chapter Four (Cont.)Mature
"He liked Lilly, y'know. I'm just not too excited about leaving the truck behind once we get to Portland." Jayden said, poking my side. "Yeah, I knew. And I'm not happy about it either. We've had so many memories in Sally; it's not fair that we're leaving her." I murmured. "We've officially gone onto the short bus." Jayden laughed. I smiled a bit and took a turn, like the sign with directions said to. "We always were on it." I laughed quietly, trying not to wake the others. "Should we stock up in case?" Jayden asked. "Nah, we'll do that in Portland. I'm sure it has more stuff there we could use." I answered.
"Alrighty boss." Jayden said hushed, then went back to playing with his fingers. "I'm really happy to be with you guys right now. If I were alone, I'd probably been dead a while ago, but now look at us. It's been two years, I'm fifteen and you're going to be fifteen soon. It's totally crazy how long we've survived." he said, "I love you." "Yeah okay, love you too Jayden." I scoffed. "Sammi I actually mean it, and I'm not trying to guilt trip you this time." He snapped.
"Alright, okay. I know you said it two and a half years ago, okay. I believe you." I said. "Love you too Jasmine." I sighed to my left side so she wouldn't feel left out, even if she was asleep. When we get on that boat, we should celebrate everything we missed, the birthdays, thanksgiving, Christmas, etc." he smiled, sitting up. "That sounds fun, but it won't be totally formal…" I trailed off. "It's okay; we're pretty much a family now." He chuckled, "As long as we're together, that's all that really counts Sammi."

| Violet Verner chapter 1 . 3/31/2014
I love and hate you at the same time. Brilliant job, my friend...
| Rainflower chapter 1 . 11/16/2012
Brilliant piece here, especially the last line; priceless! :)
| AngelicSentinel chapter 1 . 10/10/2011
That's how it works, isn't it? Survival. Thoughts going nine thousand rpm.
Although Sherlock is a particular distant character, he is human, and extreme situations do affect him. That's what I like about this piece. That tiny little peek of his humanity.
And John's great compassion. No matter which incarnation, that's always been a fixture. You show it well here.
| RedRainStar chapter 1 . 9/18/2011
That was lovely! I really like the ending. Very good!
| JDoe012998 chapter 1 . 7/6/2011
Loving you and this story so much right now, m'dear! I'm pretty sure we've discussed the lack of good friendship fics out there, so I won't repeat. But it was lovely! :D
| sherlockfic chapter 1 . 7/4/2011
Very sweet, very well written. I like how Sherlock has obviously never been asked these questions. He probably doesn't even realize he's had those thoughts, he just shoves them away and moves on. But John outright asks him and he has an answer. John is bringing Sherlock out of his caccoon and it's totally in character. I can see Cumberbatch and Freeman doing this scene.
And, yes, the last line is great.
| Sybil Jane Capulet chapter 1 . 6/30/2011
Wonderful. I can just see Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman saying these words. I know I'm echoing everyone else here, but the last line really was quite brilliant. A perfect, subtle way of awknowledging their need for each other.
| Linwe Elendil chapter 1 . 6/29/2011
Too right that John would have beat Mycroft there. :-) I love these little glimpses into Sherlock that let you know (though he'd never admit it) that John's friendship is important to him. Nicely done.
| CountryGrl chapter 1 . 6/22/2011
Oh wow, I love this! Brilliant study of their friendship, and then that last line, too adorable! :) Really well done.
| kisshermulder chapter 1 . 6/19/2011
That was very good. I loved the last line. Wonderful. And you were very true to the characters. I'm a big fan of people who can believably write like the characters and don't just randomly make them whoever they want them to be. That was thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you for writing it. :)
| Aqua Mage chapter 1 . 6/19/2011
Very nice, particularly the last line.
| Uyidcle chapter 1 . 6/18/2011
Very good! I love Concerned!John, and you write him really well c:

In a battle that this couple says has a man pitted against his wife's mother for time with the person they both love, the woman caught in the middle says she's exhausted over their tug-of-war.
"This bickering – this fighting – it needs to stop," says Nicole who admits she thinks her mother is overly dependent on her. "I sacrifice my time with Danny to be with my mom."
Danny says his mother-in-law, Alana, monopolizes Nicole with "made up" ailments, incessant phone calls and constant demands on her time. He says the relationship between his wife and his mother-in-law is extreme and obsessive, and he claims things have only gotten worse since the couple's daughter was born.
WATCH: 'I Feel Like I'm Torn Between My Husband And My Mother'
"Alana's jealous of the baby and I think she's trying to make Nicole pay more attention to her – and maybe take me out of the picture," says Danny.
Alana says Danny is obsessed with the baby, and competitive with her. She says it's hard for her to get any time with her grandchild. "Danny wants his family all to himself."
In the video above, Danny claims Alana often sabotages family outings with Nicole and their daughter, as well as his time alone with his wife. "Any time we have a date night you can bet Alana is either sick, lost something – has a hang nail – anything to ruin our night."
Nicole says after spending time with Alana, she often doesn't get home until it's time to put her daughter to bed. She says she thinks Danny resents the fact that he has been alone taking care of their daughter all day.
WATCH: Daughter Says She's Responsible For Mom's Happiness: 'If I Wasn't There For Her She Would Probably Die'
Danny says he loves taking care of their little girl. "But, I wish we could do it as a team. That's why I married her."
Danny says "I'm afraid my marriage will end in divorce because of my mother-in-law." He wants Nicole to put up some boundaries with Alana.
Nicole says she won't give up on her mom. "I refuse to cut my mother out of my life to save my marriage."

There were scores of youngsters at this show—the second of a three-night stand—and every one of them was in full party mode. Samo Sound Boy opened with a solid-loud electronic set. Next up was Bishop Nehru, who has loads of talent, but his stage presence is about what you'd expect from a teenager. Vic Mensa was a much better performer and his songs much more lively. He danced, jump-kicked around, took his shirt off, and generally tried to wow 'em to the back rows of the massive venue. Finally, Disclosure did not disappoint as they went through most of their catalog, then brought out Sam Smith to sing Latch for the finale just like the night before.

Oak saplings from Toomer's Corner get a new home
Published: Saturday, October 6, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 4, 2012 at 2:56 p.m.
Q: I have a question about planting two new live oak saplings we have acquired. These saplings were developed from acorns from the two oak trees at Toomer's Corner at the edge of the Auburn University campus.
Assuming you are a Florida Gator, you may or may not know about these lovely old trees that were maliciously poisoned by a sick Alabama fan two years ago. These old trees are near death, and the AU Foundation is selling offspring for both fundraising, but also to perpetuate the memory of the trees.
We have plenty of land. Where should we plant them?
A: Of course I have heard of this terrible act of vandalism against the beautiful oaks of Auburn University. I think it is a great project for the War Eagle faithful to perpetuate the oaks that resonate with the Auburn alumni.
Site selection for oaks is very important. Live oaks can get huge, and you will need to give them plenty of room to spread and become the grand trees that they will be. Large specimens can reach more than 100 feet tall and 100 feet wide, but this will take decades. Plant them at least 50 feet apart and away from any existing tree line. If the saplings have a trunk diameter of more than 1 inch, you can plant them this fall. Make sure that you water them at least every other day for two months, and water at least once a week for a year.
If necessary, you will need to protect them from deer damage with fencing. For more information about growing oak trees, visit www.solutionsforyourlife.com.
Q: I have a kaffir lime tree. It produces leaves that I use in Thai cooking. A friend of mine recently shared with me that it is illegal. Could this be true? She said that we could not get the plants shipped into the state, and that we aren't allowed to grow them. Please advise.
A: For hot-button questions like these, I always check in with the Department of Agriculture so I know that we are doing the right thing to protect Florida's agriculture. Here is the information that they shared with me.
The restrictions on Citrus hystix, also known as kaffir lime or Thai lime, are the same as on any other citrus species in Florida.
All the species of citrus are under federal quarantine. This means that you cannot propagate, sell or move citrus plants into or out of the state without a permit; this is not a change.
We have been under these tough laws for years to protect our citrus industry. Nowhere in the law does it state that you can't grow and enjoy the deliciously fragrant leaves of the kaffir lime. Your friend may have heard that there is a restriction on the movement of fresh kaffir lime leaves. Fresh kaffir lime leaves can no longer be imported, exported or sold without a permit. This, again, is to prevent the spread of disease to our citrus-producing areas.
Since kaffir lime or Thai lime is tropical in nature, you will need to protect the tree during freezing temperatures. Maybe growing the little lime tree in a pot will make it easier to save it from our winters. They do have lots of thorns, so be careful where you place the tree. Also, the word "kaffir" is considered offensive in some parts of the world, so many horticulturalists are moving to the synonym "Thai lime."

New York Dolls are still 'Dancing' like dervishes
New York Dolls, Dancing Backward
in High Heels
At this late stage, you might expect singer David Johansen and guitarist Syl Sylvain, the only remaining members from the original New York Dolls lineup, to start drifting into nostalgic ballads and cautionary tunes heavy on mortality and contrition.
Think again. Returning after a 2004 reunion and a pair of solid albums, the Dolls have yet to lose their sense of fun or mischief.
"I'm so fabulous, I don't want to look at you," Johansen snaps in I'm So Fabulous. And he is.
The '70s band that paved the way for The Ramones, Kiss, the Sex Pistols and Talking Heads isn't breaking new ground, and with its legacy intact and untainted, it doesn't need to. The Dolls unapologetically celebrated the New York decay and debauchery that thrived before Mayor Giuliani's Lysol sweep. They still strut with an anti-establishment smirk and a joyful devotion to their hometown's seamier pleasures.
The shambolic music draws from New York's historic pockets of disco, pop, rock and folk. The message isn't deep or sociopolitical, but it's profound enough in a genre that tends to take itself too seriously. They make a strong case for rock 'n' roll's simple power to thrill and liberate. � Edna Gundersen

Discussion in 'Colorado Football Message Board' started by RuffBuff, Oct 23, 2007.
Everybody's in the Pub bitching about World Series tickets.
I would have posted an amature fark, but didn't want to put up with your bitching.:wink2:
I think everyone is focused on the Rox and the WS
Screw that - let's talk about the Buffs.
I'm listening to "The Spread", a new local sports talk show and enjoying the Fuskers' sniveling.:smile2:
They are a whiny butch of late. :smile2:
**** em! It's their turn.
do you listen to that streamlined over the web or on the dial?
I like the spread, I think Jason Peter is quite the character, I don't think he'll be interesting to listen to at all once it's no longer football season, but if you listen to it streamlined, like at work or something, you could try listening to 1620thezone.com's streamline. Those guys are pretty funny. They have a fake Bill Callahan that calls in, and a fake Beano Cook. They do some pretty good stuff.
just thought i'd throw it out there.
hey huskerfan....this is severe callahan....i'm black and i'm proud.....your'e white...and you're gay....huskerfan
i love that. i think it's kevin kugler who does the voice.
or how about:
"Hey Husker fan! This is Coz Callahan. ...How 'bout that spread?"
ha! gets me everytime.
i haven't heard that one....but i do like the "chipmunk" jim rose...
"ohhhhhhh adrian fiala......." that one gets me everytime! :thumbsup:

Episode 33
this wiki
A Day in Waiting ("Clash! The Best 8 are Decided // Gekitotsu! Best 8 Derō" (激突! ベスト8出そろう) ) is the eighth episode of season 2 of YuYu Hakusho. It aired on June 5, 1993 in Japan and April 17, 2003 in the United States.
Having successfully won their first round, Team Urameshi has a day to rest while they wait to see who will be their next opponents.
Yusuke is lounging in the forest, when he's approached by a fighter named Rugby. He's been watching Yusuke, and wants to sample his Spirit Gun. For some reason, Yusuke doesn't want to show it to him, and dodges Rugby's rugby. Then, Rugby's superior, Topaz, arrives, and berates him for attacking the Spirit Detective, a job he wanted to do himself. Rugby refuses to stop, and Topaz eventually throws a tomahawk into his back. Topaz tells Yusuke he looks forward to killing him in a future round, and then departs. Kuwabara appears, and asks Yusuke why he didn't just shoot his Spirit Gun. Yusuke reveals that he can't, he's so worn out from the previous fights that he can't fire a single shot. Kuwabara gets really worried. Meanwhile, Hiei is on a beach alone, trying to practice. It's hard, considering his right arm is beyond useless. Using a sword with his left hand seems to be his best bet. In the arena, the Dr. Ichigaki Team is fighting another team of demons. They take care of them easily, paving their way to the next round. Kurama is watching the fights intensely. The Toguro Team is up next, however, only the younger Toguro brother is standing in the ring. His opponents are the Spirit Warriors Team, with Topaz as their captain. Toguro asks them if it's alright if he fights them by himself. They laugh, but he doesn't crack a smile. They wonder who will go first, but Toguro says he wants to fight them all at once. They attack him head on, and he easily destroys them, using only using 45% of his power, even the massive Topaz falls. Yusuke and Kuwabara go back to the hotel room to find out who they are fighting next. Since the number of teams seems to be uneven, they're one of the two teams that has to go through four rounds to reach the finals. Yusuke curses his luck, and the masked fighter appears and speaks up. Kuwabara is surprised, since he thought that the fighter was Genkai in disguise, but the female voice he heard was definitely not that of an old grandmother. Yusuke looks closer at the roster, and sees that their next opponent is the sinister Dr. Ichigaki Team.

Waikiki Beach Leads The List That Includes California & Florida
You don't have to be huddled around a fireplace, freezing when you step outside and stuck watching football for four days during Thanksgiving weekend in the USA .
You can be on a beach!
And here are Surfside Sam's top beach destinations for Thanksgiving Day Weekend.
Top Beaches List
1.) Waikiki Beach
This is a fun, lively beach with tons of activities. But the reason it's #1 is because there's also a big bonus – on the Friday after Thanksgiving there's a Christmas parade right down Kalakaua Ave. Plus, the water is warm, the temperature is great and it offers the perfect combination of being laid back without the possibility of anyone getting bored.
2.) Kaanapali Beach, Maui
This beach near Lahina offers good snorkeling, a walkway with a few popular outdoor restaurant/bars, sunset cruises and serves as a launching point for seeing the rest of the island. This is prefect for couples and families but single people can have a good time, here too.
3.) Hermosa Beach/South Bay, CA (Los Angeles)
The South Bay Beach Cities have a bike path – take a guided tour with Beach Cities Bike Tours – great weather and a long, sunny beach. Hermosa Beach is the center of activity but there's also Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach. All connected by the bike and running path known as The Strand. And oh, the sunsets!
4.) Mission Beach, CA (San Diego)
How does riding a rollercoaster sound? Not one of those really scary ones but a milder one, right at the beach! There's one at Mission Beach in San Diego. There are tons of restaurants, a good beach and, like the above South Bay beaches, a bike, walking and running path that connects to Ocean Beach and Pacific Beach. La Jolla, too, is just up the coast.
5.) Key West
Of course the Conch Republic has to be on this list. There's so much to do in Key West and yet so little if you choose to spend your time just wastin' away. Of course, one must-do daily ritual are seeing the sunsets from Mallory Square
6.) St. Petersburg, FL
Ft. DeSoto Park is continually ranked as one of the nation's best beaches (this is in addition to St. Pete Municipal Beach and others), there's the St. Petersburg Marina with all kind of boating and fishing opportunities, plus the usual Florida activities such as Par-3 and themed putt-putt golf courses.
7.) Siesta Key, FL
If Surfside Sam were doing a list of top family destinations, this would probably be at the top. This beach by Sarasota is as white, as, well, someone who has not been to the beach in a while. And while there's enough activities to keep you busy, it's also pretty quiet. In other words, it's a good place for a siesta for a few days.
8.) Ft. Lauderdale, FL
Always active Ft. Lauderdale provides for boating, hanging out on a warm beach, going for a swim, walking along it's intracoastal waterways and having food and drinks at any of its many restaurants and bars overlooking the beach. Surfside Sam likes it better than South Beach because it's less "intense."
9.) Florida Keys
This is a different kind of way to spend your long weekend – on the move! You can make your way down the Keys by staying in the little towns along the way: Key Largo, Islamarada, Marathon. Make your Thanksgiving dinner at at Dockside Tropical Cafe at Sombrero Beach where you'll hear the best live trop/rock music in the Keys.
10.) Tybee Island, GA (Savannah)
Historical Savannah is 20 minutes away and Tybee Island provides a beachy place to stay for Thanksgiving. The summer crowds are long gone and you can enjoy peel-and-eat restaurants, a couple of bars with character and there's even a Civil War fort to explore.

Description by OLDIES.com:
The Giant of Metropolis is a radical mixture of science fiction and sword & sandal adventure that features fantastic production design, wild futuristic costumes and a rich music score. A legendary muscle-builder turned action adventure star, Gordon Mitchell (1923-2003) appeared in over 100 films, mostly Italian toga epics and spaghetti westerns. Just 2 months before he passed away, Mitchell was honored by the UCLA Film Archive with a festival showing of The Giant of Metropolis in a theater on the Los Angeles campus.
Hercules and the Princess of Troy (1965, 48 Minutes): When the sacred flame is at its highest, the people of Troy sacrifice a young virgin to the ferocious sea monster that lives off the coast of the ancient city. Seeking to protect their daughters, families attempt to flee the city by sea, but the waters of the Mediterranean are plagued with pirates, and the refugees are soon prisoners in the hold of a slave galley. Their bitter luck improves when the prison vessel is rammed and boarded by a ship captained by the mighty Hercules, a mortal man fathered by Olympian God Zeus. Moved by their plight, Hercules volunteers to escort them back home, where he must battle soldiers of the evil King of Troy before pitting his super strength against the hideous beast that lurks in the Trojan waters.
Produced as a pilot for a 1964 Hercules television show, Hercules and the Princess of Troy is a breathtaking adventure and stunning spectacle featuring a muscular central performance from body builder Gordon Scott. Discovered while life-guarding at a Hollywood pool, Scott starred in dozens of international productions and is best remembered for playing Tarzan in six feature films between 1955 and 1960.

Ark (Final Fantasy XIII)
this wiki
|White Mage: Life's refreshing breeze, blow in energy! Cure!
|This article can be improved in areas such as rewriting the "Story" section to meet the MoS.
Please refer to the Manual of Style or Editing Help to get started.
Arks (アーク, Āku?) are Gran Pulse armories in Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XIII-2. Two Arks are seen: the Fifth Ark hidden underneath Eden, and the Thirteenth Ark that floats above Academia four centuries later. A location called the Seventh Ark was considered to be a downloadable location if DLC was to be made for Final Fantasy XIII. There, Lightning and her companions would fight powerful enemies.[1] This never materialized, but hackers have unveiled the location as dummied content.
They say the fal'Cie made the Arks in preparation for battle against the menace that lurks beyond. Where is this "beyond" of which they speak? Do they mean Cocoon, and the demons that dwells within? If so, they are mistaken. The legends of the Arks date far before that sphere was even crafted; whispers even hint at Arks displaced around the time of Cocoon's creation, spirited away to be hidden in its shell.
What, then, is the "menace"? What distant threat confronts us, and to what purpose? The gods vanished from this place. Are they now residents of the "beyond"?
- —On the Nature of Fal'Cie
According to legend, Arks are Gran Pulse's floating armories that hold living weapons in stasis in preparation for war with outside forces. Arks are hidden all around the world and most of their locations are unknown. Arks were built by the fal'Cie thousands of years ago, and even though their purpose is a mystery to humankind, they are used for training l'Cie to become strong enough to fulfill their Focus. The Arks levitate via the power of items known as Graviton Core.
Gran Pulse citizens had searched for the legendary Arks, but never found them. On Cocoon, Lightning's party can visit one of them, the Fifth Ark, hidden under Eden. This may explain why Gran Pulse citizens never found the Arks, if many were, in fact, brought to Cocoon by Barthandelus.
The purpose of Arks is not revealed during Final Fantasy XIII, but the official mythology on Fabula Nova Crystallis tells the god Bhunivelze created the world of Final Fantasy XIII in preparation to fight the goddess Mwynn. After tasking the god Pulse to find a way to the dimension where Mwynn resided, Bhunivelze turned himself into a crystal to sleep until time would be ripe. It can be thus gathered that the Arks were intended to be used in Bhunivelze's battle against Mwynn, as all that is known of heir purpose is that they were constructed to fight a great menace in "the beyond".
Noah carried seven pairs of each clean animal species and one pair of each unclean animal species, each pair a male and female, into a giant ship called the Ark. The Ark was built by God's command to survive the deluge He sent to purge the world from the sins committed by mankind.In the Bible,
- There being thirteen Arks is an allusion to the number 13, a recurring theme in the Lightning Saga and all of the Fabula Nova Crystallis series.

He was forced into extraordinary theatrical feats to prove his worth. In November 1992 he was closeted in a Chicago hotel for days with his US opposite number trying to cut a deal. But the talks failed. Mr MacSharry resigned his job as a negotiator, claiming that he had been undercut by Jacques Delors, his boss. Mr Delors climbed down, and the Irishman came back, his status firmly underpinned. Days later, a US-EU farm trade package - the Blair House deal - was agreed. It became the linchpin of the package agreed yesterday.
His single-mindedness, memory for detail and driving energy made the most difficult dossier - agriculture - possible. Mr Mac Sharry returned to Ireland and to business last year, saying his public career was over.
