Hill climbing performance is a very important aspect of overall hpv performance. If you don't believe me, pull out of your driveway and take off in any direction and half the time you will go up.
Although they are heavier than recumbent bikes and run three sets of tires and wheel bearings, some trikes outperform such bikes in hills. I discovered that four years ago after I bought a Greenspeed X-5 to go with my Rans V-Rex and Vision Saber big-wheeler. I had been on the hook to sometime buy a recumbent trike ever since reading Bob Bryant's enthusiastic reviews of Greenspeeds in Recumbent Cyclist News and Richard Ballentine's ravings about the British Windcheetah trike in Richard's Bike Book.

In an effort to more closely collaborate with the mighty STS Graphics, Llama HQ recently moved to a beach side pad in Beaumont, St Peter. Not only do we have a superb view, but more importantly easy access to the island's best bacon rolls and largest supply of beer and wine!
If you fancy popping by, you'll find the office next to the entrance to Dunell's Wines, on the 1st floor above Polar Auto Italia's Fiat showroom.
Please be gentle on us as we'll either be deep into a coding problem or gazing out to sea thinking about our next big project!

The quest for oil, and the pioneers who first discovered how to tap the land more than 100 years ago, serve as the backdrop for "There Will Be Blood," the new film starring Daniel Day-Lewis.
Day-Lewis told Logan that when he picked up the script and read it, the first thing that grabbed him was the title. "Yeah, that has to do something."
Despite the horror-movie title, the film is drenched in oil, not blood, and greed, more than violence, drives the action.
Day-Lewis plays Daniel Plainview, a dynamic, pathological force of nature who needs to win at any cost.
"I have a competition in me," Plainview tells one character. "I don't like anyone else to succeed."
It's another Oscar-caliber performance by an actor whose ability to transform himself into a character is legendary.
"Yeah, there's something appealing about that, for sure," he laughed.
What appeals to him, he says, is authenticity - getting every word, every gesture just right - as Logan says, down to the dirt in his fingernails.
"That's the ideal," Day-Lewis said. "That's the task, I suppose, that we set ourselves. That's the narcotic almost, as well. Certainly that illusion is a very intoxicating one, I think."
Just don't ask how he achieves that illusion - that, he says, is a secret.
He also won't say if he enjoys killing a man on camera.
"It's part of my job," he says. "I don't think I have a good answer for it."
The truth is, Day-Lewis has a good answer for just about everything; he just isn't comfortable analyzing himself, or his art.
"There's not really anything to say about it; you do it. You do it as well as you can. The proof is in the pudding. And I always feel when I talk about it, too, that it's falsifying the reality of that work, which finally, luckily for all of us, remains a total mystery."
What's not a mystery is that he became an artist in the first place. Born in London in 1957, Daniel's father, Cecil Day-Lewis, was a poet-laureate of England and a popular novelist. His mother, Jill Balcon, is a well-known British actress.
But he had doubts about pursuing acting as a profession. He wanted to do something useful, at one point studying to be a cabinetmaker.
"I was conflicted about this work for many years because I wasn't sure if there was real value in it," he said. "I was never unaware of the absurdity [of acting]. Maybe I have to take it that seriously to obliterate the sense of absurdity."
That at least partly explains his reputation for exhaustively preparing for often difficult roles: learning to handle a musket and tomahawk for "The Last of the Mohicans," training for months as a fighter for "The Boxer," and working at a butcher shop and learning to throw knives for his role as Bill the Butcher in "Gangs of New York."
But it was his performance as cerebral-palsy sufferer Christy Brown in 1989's "My Left Foot" that first earned him recognition as one of the greatest actors of his generation.
He won that year's Oscar for best actor, but true to form if you ask him about it, he was happy … for everyone else.
"I wished so much for people that wished for me, that they wouldn't be disappointed," he told Logan. "You know, because there are a lot of people in Ireland that ["My Left Foot"] really, really meant a lot to, because they felt it was their story."
Day-Lewis accepts very few roles, despite the Oscar and countless other awards. Family is one of the reasons.
While filming "The Crucible" in 1995, Day-Lewis met Rebecca Miller, daughter of Arthur Miller, the play's author. They married the following year, and now live in Ireland with their two young boys
What does it say about him that he's only done four films in the last 10 years?
"There's great joy in this work for me. But I couldn't find the joy in the work if I worked to somebody else's rhythm. And I just have a very, I suppose, very slothful rhythm!"
That rhythm was interrupted two years ago when director Paul Thomas Anderson sent him the script for "There Will Be Blood."
When asked why he chose Day-Lewis for the role, Anderson said, "Well, that's like saying, 'Why were you after the Holy Grail?' It's not the question of me choosing Daniel Day-Lewis, is it? It's more like Daniel chose to do the film.
"You can only fantasize about the possibility of working with him. He's so slippery, he's so elusive, isn't he?"
Anderson, the Oscar-nominated writer-director of "Magnolia" and "Boogie-Nights," quickly learned just how tough and dedicated an actor Daniel Day-Lewis really is.
"I remember everything going great for about 24 hours when we started shooting the movie," Anderson said. "I'm feeling really confident, and then at the beginning of the second day, Daniel fell down a 50-foot mine shaft, and broke two of his ribs. And I thought, 'That's just not good.' But I also thought, 'I really doubt that Daniel's ever made a movie without breaking something.' So it's got to be a good sign!"
Apparently it was. "There Will Be Blood" opened to rave reviews, and renewed best-actor Oscar buzz for Day-Lewis.
But all that talk is beside the point. Once the film, the work, is done, he has no stomach for the celebrity hype machine.
"I love what I do," Day-Lewis said. "And I'm very proud to be a part of a body of people that do this work. So it's with no wish to ridicule a profession, which I actually think is strangely a potentially noble one. It most often isn't noble. We're turned into clowns a lot of the time. But that's no bad thing, either."
"You seemed to have escaped that," Logan said.
"No, I feel like a clown," he laughed.
"Right now?"
"A little bit. A little bit."
What he wants more than anything else is to get back to Ireland, to the things that, for him, make up "real life":
"It could be six months of daydreaming. I live in a landscape, which every single day of my life is enriching. It's food and drink to me. And very happily, I'm allowed to be with my family, who don't get to see a lot of me when I'm working. So I wish to make up for that when I'm not. It's a gift. It's a great privilege."
Sooner or later, when the time is right, Daniel Day-Lewis will go back to work. Someone will send him a script he can't ignore, with a role, like all the others, he will feel compelled to get just right.
"I like things that make you grit your teeth. I like tucking my chin in and sort of leading into the storm. I like that feeling. I like it a lot."

9 Great Dangers for Every Believer in these Last Days
If Jesus was coming in six months or if you just had six months to live, would you live any different from the way you are living right now? The slumbering, the loveless, the lukewarm, the cold heart…what will you be?
Have you been miserably failing to overcome sexual temptations? Do you easily give in to the pressure? I want you to consider the following to help you to break away from this cycle of defeat and live free and in consistent victory.
Rachel Joy Scott – Her Story must be told
I lost all my friends at school, now that I've begun to 'walk my talk', they make fun of me. If I have to sacrifice everything I will. I will take it. If my friends have to become my enemies for me to be with my best friend Jesus, then that's fine with me.
Eric Liddell – The Olympian who ran for God
I believe that God made me for a purpose. But He also made me fast, and when I run, I feel His pleasure. Eric Liddel refused to run the 100 meter race in the 1924 Paris Olympics. But why?

True Christianity is not a life of working, but of becoming. It is the pursuit of seeing the glory of the Lord and being changed by that glory into His same image.
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

We have men of science, too few men of God. We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount. The world has achieved brilliance without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants.
Bananas and Crocs – A Spiritual Dream
Are you still struggling to overcome certain personal issues or certain challenges in your life? Do you feel that you are being chased and enslaved? Do these strongholds or challenges look intimidating? God has provided a solution out of His divine armory to enable you to find freedom.
God showed it but where is it?
Has God promised you something or shown His vision and purpose for your life? Have you been treated unfairly and you are waiting and hoping for Lord's intervention and favor in your situation. Maybe there are great blessings that you can perceive that the Lord has in store for you, but it seems nowhere in the horizon.
Do you practice the Truth?
If we really value the Word of God in our lives, we must allow it to challenge us. We must not only know the truth but must love the truth enough to practice it. We must not simply stay at knowing the Word of God, but it should ultimately lead us to know the Lord of the Word more intimately.

Oregon Live reporting on an annoying law mandating helmets for anyone under the age of 18 who rides a skateboard or a bike (Seriously, how did our population survive until the new millennia?) is bad enough. But the companion bill leaves the choice out of the hands of adults should they choose to enter a contest or participate in a public demo:
Senate Bill 741: Requires person of any age to wear helmet when using bicycle, skateboard, scooter, in-line skates or roller skates when participating in organized exhibition, competition or contest.
It's not a law yet, but has been introduced to the state senate by Chris Edwards.
– Thanks to Mac for the tip.
Senate Bill 741: Read the full text here.
I'm shocked. Stunned. What is the purpose? Consider the context, it's a law requiring helmets only under a certain circumstance. It's OK to engage in the activity without a helmet, but as soon as you do it for an audience you must wear one? For what purpose? To make a good impression on youth? You can't legislate mandatory role model behavior, otherwise we'd have to outlaw Tap Out clothing and ICP makeup.
Yes, I make my kids wear a helmet when they skate, scooter or ride a bike. That should be my choice as their guardian. It should also be my own choice if I want to wear a helmet in a competition or demo, not that I'll ever be in that position again.
NOTE: Please use civility in discussing this matter or attempting to contact the Senator. Likewise, any asinine or counterproductive comments will be deleted from this post. If you can't discuss the issue like an adult, don't drag us all down with you.
LIKE the Stop Oregon Senate Bill 741 page on Facebook
This is a bad bill that will put more people at risk than it will help 'save'. Before these hypocrites push this down our throats they need to ban football and hockey and require people who play soccer and basketball and their cheerleaders wear helmets as well.
Bill 742 is just as important. It brings the helmet age to 18 and expands it to cover private property in addition to public, so DoS and backyard ramps would be regulated as well.
This law is not right it is going to harm more than help the skateboarders are extremely attached to there traditional ways per say, something like a helmet can ruin a session and hurt the skateparks many skateboarders avoid parks with helmet rules solely because of the enforcement I choose to wear a helmet on some areas when necessary, also I have witnessed the NYC pier 62 thrive without helmet rules skateboarders are extremely happy with the park and its atmosphere that's what Oregon needs not helmet enforcement
Let those who ride, decide.
(I wear one, so I'm a nerd).
Those senate bills can bite it!
For a state that hates California, you guys sure are biting our style with your helmet laws. It really is just used as ramdom harrasment here. Kids ride skooters with no lid all over, and then kids get popped at the skatepark for not having a helmet. There will be no justice in the enforcement. The cops hate it for the most part too because they know that they are giving some poor kid a ticket that they are not going to pay, and thus creating a greater problem such as arrest warrants for unpiad helmet tickets issued to the parents of the child. basically, it is pretty much a crime to leave your house these days.
I remember reading maybe 10 years ago that Australia's 'Helmets all the time' rule for cyclists had an overall negative effect on health. The theory was that the negative effect of making a lot of cyclists simply stop and get less exercise wasn't outweighed by slightly fewer crushed skulls per year.
Could be bullshit but I can see the argument. I know I'd use my bike a lot less if I always had to wear a helmet. Maybe it works the same way with skateboards.
There is also the issue of perceived risk. The last time I skated a park fully helmeted and padded I broke my leg…
From Oregon Live:
"Eugene Democrat Sen. Chris Edwards, who calls himself a regular cyclist, sponsored both bills. He said they came about after talking with a friend's son who is a sponsored skateboard competitor. The skater told Edwards he didn't wear a helmet in competition because he thought he'd be judged down for it."
I've talked with kids that felt they would lose style points for wearing pads and a helmet during a comp, but surely this is an overreaction on the part of the Senator.
waiting for the "EQUINE TRIPPING IS NOT A CRIME" bumper stickers.
*sigh* I love my country.
Thanks a lot Bin Laden.
The problem seems to be that non-skaters, such as the senator, don't see a big difference between bicycling and skateboarding. In bicycling, when hitting an unforeseen object such as a hidden curb, going over the handlebars TYPICALLY means landing directly on one's head, because you swing around your hands, which take a while to let go. And yes, on very rare occasion someone will die from a skatepark injury nationwide, and slightly less rarely, from a road injury, but it just plain isn't as dangerous as bicycling without a helmet, when it comes to head traumas. Might even be closer to school cheerleading, per participant. One law that wouldn't be too far off base would be outlawing using pads without a helmet in competition, since that (and not even counter-intuitively, just counter-unperceptively) is the most treacherous combination to skate with. (They could call that one the Go Full Barney Bill, to make it sound grave and important.)
(Or the All or Nothin' Bill.)
One thing to keep in mind, when opposing this bill, is that politics can indeed make strange bedfellows. Though I'm a Democrat and a liberbrarian, I'll be the first to admit that it was Republicans in the otherwise revolting Gingrich revolution that got most of the liability reform laws passed that wound up allowing the modern skatepark boom. So, no matter how otherwise weird, they are potential allies.
(When it come to opposing a nanny state)
Though I guess they just want you to have a German nanny instead of an English nanny. Couldn't we just have a Swedish nanny instead? (Don't know if that means she's sexy or commits suicide, though.)
Why not just get to the point and require everyone to wear a helmet all the time, for everything? Safety first people!
I actually usually wear a helmet too, but I don't think regulating adults to do so is appropriate. Risk is relative to skill and experience.
how about this…..you pay for all my medical insurance and i'll wear a helmet. Otherwise push off.
A work session is schedule for April 9th, show up and support your side.

Personal Best: Improving local employment
There is such a scarcity of common sense in general that it is frightening. Take the recent government crackdown on temporary foreign workers, a reaction to many abuses in the system especially in the food service business. Fact one is that we are desperate for job opportunities in this area. Fact two is that the restaurant and bar employees are traditionally underpaid, part time and seldom have benefits hence the reluctance of many workers to embrace this area. Paying less to temporary foreign workers does not fix this problem, it makes it worse. Proprietors say they cannot afford to pay more wages or provide any benefits to employees but now that foreign workers cannot be hired I think they will have to adjust to the marketplace like everyone else in business.
Another interesting situation has occurred as a result of this crackdown by government at our Silver Star Mountain Resort. Apparently they have been employing overseas workers, mostly Australians and New Zealanders, for a while on the hill in the capacity of ski and snowboard instructors with a level three and four certification. They say this is a result of the unavailability of trained personnel at this level. I am amazed that we have such a shortage given the propensity of skiers here and the high level of ability of most. They also talk about the fact that the government, as part of the crackdown, has raised the processing fee to hire foreign workers from $275 to $1,000 per application. Well here is a common sense solution, given we have a community college on our doorstep, perhaps the ski hill could use some of that application fee to collaborate with the college and come up with a plan to train local residents so we could employ local people to do these jobs. Duh!
If we don't have employment opportunities and a more expansive economy we risk the future of our kids and grandkids being able to stay in the valley. Already we have people who have to leave their families, their wives, husbands and kids to make a living. What kind of a family life does this provide with an absentee wife, mother or husband and father up in the tar sands for most of the time? And yet to get a decent wage and benefits that is what is happening more and more. Even older men who cannot find a decent waged job here are travelling north to heavy duty, physically-demanding jobs that may be damaging to their physical well being. We need to look at alternative and common sense ways of creating employment or changing already existing jobs so that they pay a decent wage so that young families can survive and stay here.
North Okanagan Hospice Society, as most of us know, provides a desperately needed hospice house for those who are coming to the end of their journey but they also provide many other services. They are offering a grief support group called Finding My Way, beginning Oct. 1 for eight consecutive weeks. Sessions will be held in the evenings and the group provides a safe place for adults experiencing grief due to the death of a loved one. Participants will be introduced to the definitions of grief and mourning, discuss ways that grief affects people differently, and identify ways of getting through a time of loss and transition. All interested individuals will be invited to meet with the grief and bereavement counsellor prior to registering for the group to determine their current needs and readiness. For more information, call Panadda at 503-1800, ext: 200.

Republican Study Committee Chairman Steve Scalise (R-La.) responded today to White House advisor Dan Pfeiffer's dismissive comment on the legality of the IRS scandal:
"It is shocking but quite telling that the senior advisor to President Obama, Dan Pfeiffer, would say that "the law is irrelevant" in relation to the IRS scandal."
"I strongly disagree with the Obama Administration's illegal targeting of their political enemies, and the law is absolutely relevant as we investigate this scandal to hold all of those accountable for their illegal and unethical actions. I am calling on President Obama to quickly denounce his senior advisor's outrageous statement about the law's irrelevance in this investigation."

Spiced Sirloin Rice (Teta Rice)
Recipe by King Lu
My Grandmother (Teta) made this dish as an accompaniment to Chicken, Pork, or Lamb dishes. My son will make a meal out of it on its own. The yogurt and pine nuts really enhance the flavour, but are optional. To truly enjoy this I would not recommend using ground beef. It also very easily reheats and can be frozen as well.
Top Review by Mrs. Doyle
This was fantastic!!! I made it a while back and have been craving it ever since... you know a recipe is good when you crave it. I didn't have chicken stock powder, so I left it out and it was still a fantastic meal! It makes a lot and is great as left overs, straight from the fridge in the middle of the night :)
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
the spices
- 2 teaspoons allspice
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg
the meat
- 1 1⁄4 lbs sirloin, chopped into 1/4 inch pieces (discard anything too fatty)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- Combine the chicken stock mix in 1 cup of the chicken broth, set aside.
- In a large pot, heat the Oil over med-high heat.
- Add the sirloin and mix with oil. Immediately sprinkle 1/3 of spice mixture on the sirloin and stir in, repeat this 2 more times and stir until the meat is brown all over and you have added all the spice.
- Add rice to the meat and mix it together 15 – 20 seconds.
- Add both the chicken broth and the chicken broth and stock mixture at this time, this should cover the rice and meat by a ¼ to ½ inch.
- Add butter and stir occasionally.
- Once butter has melted and the liquid is just starting to boil (the rice should look a little plump) reduce heat to just above low and cover the pot.
- Cook for 17 minutes. DO NOT lift the cover to check.
- During this time you can toast the Pine nuts either in a nonstick pan on the stove or on a cookie sheet in the oven on broil. Either way you need to stir them continuously until they are nicely browned.
- After 17 minutes remove the pot from heat and let stand for 10 minutes. DO NOT lift the cover. After 10 minutes you can lift the cover and fluff up the rice with an fork.
- Scoop rice out onto a platter for presentation or directly onto a plate. If using pine nuts sprinkle them on top of the rice.
- If you are using the yogurt, it is served in individual bowls and a little is scooped on and mixed into the rice as you eat it.
- Enjoy.

Nursing home hunger scandal
A RISE in frail nursing home patients going hungry and thirsty has forced tougher surveillance of the industry.
Of 15 nursing homes sanctioned because of substandard operations, 10 involved cases of poor nutrition and/or hydration. The Minister for Ageing, Justine Elliot, is warning of tougher scrutiny of nursing homes after inspectors made the discoveries.
They have uncovered cases where two undernourished elderly patients in Victoria were found to weigh less than 25 kilograms, a Government spokesman said.
Sanctions occurred mostly in Victoria and Queensland.
In NSW Glenwood Gardens nursing home in Glen Innes had sanctions imposed on it, including tighter scrutiny, after inspectors identified "serious risks" to residents, including "inadequate nutrition and hydration".
Ms Elliot has announced a record 1796 surprise visits to homes in the second half of the year.
"We are targeting nutrition, hydration and body weight," Ms Elliot's spokesman told the Herald yesterday.
Both the Government and nursing home operators link the growing prevalence of nutrition and hydration problems to the increasing number of very frail and elderly residents and those with dementia in nursing homes who need personal help with their eating and drinking.
The chief executive of the Aged Care Association, Rod Young, blames the increasing problems with nutrition on the failure of government funding to keep up with the more intensive care needs in nursing homes.
Mr Young said it took an average of 20 minutes for nurses to feed people with eating difficulties but the Government's funding was not sufficient to employ the staff required and did not allow for the higher pay levels required to attract such people to nursing homes.
"I am not defending nursing homes for failing standards but there are underlying issues about the adequacy of funding to look after somebody who is highly dependent or with dementia," Mr Young said.
The Government has argued it has lifted nursing home funding to record levels that would result in an average of $43,000 a year being paid for each aged care patient.
The latest development follows claims by nursing home operators that government funding and regulation of homes will result in rising pressure for beds because of the lack of long term capital funding and tight rules which restrain the development of services.
Ms Elliot said that last financial year, the Aged Care Accreditation Agency found 199 nursing homes or hostels did not comply with at least one of 44 standards.
Fifteen homes were under sanction, which means they are barred from taking in new residents until they have demonstrated improvement. Ms Elliot said nine of these were identified as a direct or indirect result of unannounced visits.
These visits were particularly important "where frail elderly residents are cared for 24 hours a day and are often unable to speak out if they have concerns".
"There are nearly 3000 nursing homes in Australia and the vast majority are doing an excellent job providing quality care for older Australians, but when action is required this Government will move swiftly," she said.

Merck & Co., Inc.
) Singulair Prescriptions Plunge After Generics Arrived
Weekly prescriptions for Merck & Co.'s asthma and allergy treatment Singulair plunged nearly 90% within four weeks of the August introduction of competing generic copies, a Merck executive said Tuesday. "There's been a rapid decline and loss of sales," Adam H. Schechter, president of Merck's global human-health unit, told investors at a Morgan Stanley health-care conference in New York. Weekly prescriptions for branded Singulair declined 87% four weeks after the early August loss of U.S. patent protection for the drug, according to a slide presented by Mr. Schechter. The patent loss triggered the introduction of lower-priced, generic versions of the drug from multiple manufacturers including Mylan Inc. and Endo Health Solutions.

Enthusiasm from students and parents; skepticism from teachers.
Specifically, about "stacking." (Today's word for how we used to add, subtract, and multiply numbers by placing one number on top of the other.)
Kids love it. And not just the ones on our team. As Nancy Bea Miller writes:
When I showed one of my sons how I had learned addition, i.e. the "stacking" method, he was very impressed. "Wow, that's so cool! That works great! I wonder if my math teacher knows about this?" was his innocent comment.
Yes, she does, and she doesn't like it. At least if she resembles the teacher who approached me after math practice yesterday and recounted the dismay she felt when she caught one of her students stacking numbers, thus abandoning the more "meaningful" and "faster" way he used to solve problems.
My co-coach and I tried to explain that the Continental Math League numbers are big enough, and random enough, that Reform Math's methods aren't faster and more meaningful, but inefficient and confusing. It's one thing to add 48 and 39 by reasoning that:
48 is 2 less than 50, and 39 is 1 less than 40, so add 40 and 50 and get 90 and then count backwards by 3 and get 87."
But take one of the problems we did at Continental Math League yesterday: 825 - 267. Restricting myself to the kinds of calculation that these second and third graders are able/expected to do in their heads, here's the most efficient non-stacking method I can come up with:
The closest friendly number to 825 is 800, and the closest friendly number to 267 is 250. 825 is 25 more than 800. 250 is 10 more than 260, and another 7 gets you 267. 10 plus 7 is 17. So 267 is 17 more than 250. So subtract 250 from 800. Well, 800 minus 200 is 600, minus 50 more is 550. Then subtract 17 from 25 by counting up from 17. Seventeen plus 3 more is 20 plus 5 more is 25. 3 plus 5 equals 8. Add 8 to 550* to get 558."
*By this point in the problem, how many people remember what they should be doing with this 8?
Anyone with a more efficient non-stacking method for subtracting 267 from 825 (no calculators allowed!) is invited to share it here.

Loved my stay there, had originally planned to stay at the Global Backpackers hostel because they also have 10 people dorms but with breakfast but regretted going there and changed to the HI.Toronto. It is perfectly clean, has a really well equipped kitchen and is in walking distance from everywhere in downtown Toronto. Absolutely enjoyed my stay there!
Hello Esther! You can't escape the awesomeness of our hostel :) Thank you for the feedback.

Really good bus connection, about 20 min. to ski lifts and town and bus stops directly in front of the hostel. Huge kitchen, nice staff. Was a bit surprised that 2 dorms (= 8 people!) shared one washroom / one shower but apart from that everything was fine!

Reviews for Chocolate Chip Pistachio Cookies
Average Rating
"We love these cookies!!"
"Was looking for a variation on regular chocolate chip cookies...these are it! They stay very moist. I used semi-sweet chips and added 1/3 cup coarsely chopped pistachios and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract...Delicious!"
"Made them for St. Patrick's Day and used Mini Choc. Chips. Might try adding some almond extract, different Choc. chips. or actual pistachio pieces. You can taste the cream cheese, but no other flavor at all. Needs to be more flavorful. Followed the recipe, tried a small cookie scoop (1 in. balls), but ended up using a bigger one to make a normal sized cookie. Flattened them out and baked for 10 min. Needs help!"
"Sorry, but these cookies just weren't what I expected, nor did they taste very good. Since they were in a little book featuring all Christmas cookies I thought they'd be extra special, but they were just kind of a green dense dough with big chocolate chips in them......not tasting like pistachios at all. I think that big 8 oz. bar of cream cheese had something to do with the poor texture. I'll avoid making cookies in the future that have so much cream cheese in them."
"These cookies were a big hit!! Everybody loved them!"
"I make this all the time. My husband and kids love it."
"I did everything the recipe said and I was extremely disappointed in the end result. Just a waste of my time making them, too small, nothing like the picture."
"Do not waste your time on this recipe"
"I was really looking forward to making these cookies. I followed the recipe exactly, even chilling the dough. I had to bake them atleast 5 minutes more before they started turning brown. They don't spread out or flatten any more than the way you press them down. They came out soft and moist but just don't have any taste. I sprinkled them with powdered sugar to add some flavor. They could have used some chopped nuts. My husband really liked them but he eats anything. I get so depressed when these new recipes I try don't taste good especially after all the time and effort put into it. I'm going to stick to my old favorites from now on."
"I cant keep these in the house. They are SO soft and delicious!"
"I love pistachio pudding and was excited to try this recipe. I thought the flour ratio was pretty high at first glance but I followed the recipe anyways. These cookies were very bland and desperately needed salt. Also, they came out like hockey pucks and I flattened them before placing them in the oven. Extremely disappointed. Do the food editors of this magazine taste test the recipes before placing them in the magazine?"
"This is a soft cookie but certainly not playdoh in texture. I baked them at 375 for 12 min. I think the DARK chocolate chips(not semi-sweet)add great flavor. I'm not a white chocolate fan, to me it is not chocolate at all. I found the dough to be hard to handle and shape into uniform cookies, therefore, the cookies are not very attractive, not a great addition to a cookie plate. Taste is fine so I'd probably make them again."
"I thought these would be a good cookie to make for Saint paddys week- Not exceptional sort of blah tasting. IF I made these again I would omit the vanilla and add almond extract to go better with the pudding flavor. They are a soft mild cookie- my daycare kids ate them no problem- they just were not worth the calories for me. Just so - so"
"must have done something wrong, they had the texture of playdoh while eating"
"Super easy cookies to make. I use mini chips and chopped up some pistachio nuts as well and the only complaint my family had was that they were too small! I did raise the temp of my oven to 375 and extend cooking time to 12 -15 minutes. This recipe is definitely a keeper."
"Love these minty green cookies! I did not chill the dough, but dropped them from a spoon onto the greased cookie sheet. I will say that my oven required more than the 10-12 min baking time .. more like 15-20 mins until they were golden brown on the bottom. It was hard to tell when they were done. I also used white choc chips, but they were delicious. My 16yo son even ate them!"

I didn't know about this salad when I was growing up. It was until 26 years ago, when a young couple invited us for dinner on Christmas Eve, that I first heard of it. Christmas Salad was the first dish to be served on the table, and I of course asked about it right away. How do you make it? Does it have a name?
Can you write down the recipe for me? But now I realize that you don't actually need a well structured recipe to make this salad. Eating fruits and veggies isn't rocket science, right? It's even easier if the fruits are in season when their flavor and nutrients are at their prime. So, play around with the ingredients and enjoy your own version of Ensalada Navideña and make it a traditional part of your Christmas Menu, as many do in Mexico.
Traditional Christmas Salad (or, as we call it, "Ensalada Nochebuena" or "Ensalada Navideña") is made with seasonal fruits from this time of the year. Some of the most common ingredients are beets, lettuce, orange slices, sweet lime, pomegranates, jicama, peanuts, sugar cane and apples, but every region has a different recipe based on what they have available, so you will find that some recipes call for ingredients such as plantains, pecans, pineapple, papaya, guavas and even shredded coconut. The end result is a vibrant, colorful and tasty salad.
- 6 large romaine lettuce leaves, washed
- 1 medium size beet, cooked and sliced
- 1/2 cup of beets cooking water
- 1 ripe plantain but still firm, diced
- 1 cup of jicama (peeled and sliced)
- 1 apple, diced
- 1 large orange, peeled and sectioned
- 1/3 cup roasted peanuts
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- Sugar to taste
* You can use canned beets, if fresh beets are not available.
**Traditionally the salad used to be presented with the fruit sliced, but nowadays there are many preparations. You can either slice the fruits or dice them. Or as I did, make a mix of diced and sliced ingredients.
*** This is just a sample of the traditional salad using the basic ingredients, but the possibilities are endless using some of the other ingredients mentioned above. Use your creativity to enhance this salad.
1. If you are using fresh beets, do not peel them before cooking. Cook in a small amount of water until tender about 15-18 minutes. Cooking time will depend on the size and how fresh the beets are. After cooking, reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water. When beets are slightly cooled, remove the skin by gently peeling it using a paper towel. You will see that the skin comes off really easy.
2. For the first layer, arrange in a large plate 3 large romaine lettuce leaves. Thinly slice the other 3 leaves and reserve.
3. Arrange the sliced (or diced) beets, plantain, jicama, and apples. Top with orange wedges, finely sliced lettuce and roasted peanuts.
4. For the dressing mix the reserved 1/2 cup of the beet cooking water, orange juice with sugar to taste, mix an drizzle over salad. Serve immediately.
The cooks creativity with this salad is endless, like in this presentation above where all the ingredients (minus the orange) are diced, and the dressing consist of the beets' cooking water, sugar and mexican cream. You can use sour cream or also heavy cream. If you prefer this chopped version, don't use the orange or orange juice. Whatever way you try it, this salad will be a festive addition to your Christmas Party. I love it both in Christmas time and during the rest of the year!
¡Buen provecho!

I hope you make it… If you do, please come back to let me know your experience.

There is a beautiful story which I want to share. Once there was a blacksmith in a village, a very poor man. It looked like he acted like a magnet to all the problems in the world. They were visiting him too often. But he was a devout, very prayerful person. Once, a friend of his who did not believe in all this came and said, "What nonsense, you going on praying to your god. Look at your life! All the time you are in trouble."
So the blacksmith said, "See, I know only this profession. Everything I have learned, I have learned by being a blacksmith. If I want to make a useful tool, I take a piece of steel, heat it, beat it, cool it, heat it, beat it… If a piece of steel cannot take the heating and beating and cooling, then I throw it on the scrap heap. Otherwise it becomes a useful tool. So my prayer is only this: "Dear god, heat me, beat me, cool me, do whatever– but don't ever throw me on the scrap heap."
The scrap heap is a comfortable place. Nobody beats you, nobody heats you, nobody does anything to you, but you are on the scrap heap. You should not be afraid of pain, you should not be afraid of hardship, you should not be afraid of death. "Don't put me on the scrap heap." That should be the only fear for a person on the spiritual path.
Stress is not a part of your life. Stress is just your inability to manage your own system. Stress happens not because of the nature of your work. The Prime Minister is complaining of stress, the peon is also complaining of stress. In between, every other person is saying his job is stressful. And those who are unemployed also find their situation stressful.
So stress is obviously not about your job, isn't it? It is just that you do not know how to manage your body, your mind, your emotions, your energy, your chemistry – you do not know how to manage anything. You are functioning by accident, so everything is stressful. If you get into a car where if you turn the steering wheel one way, the car goes in the opposite direction, you'll be stressed, isn't it?
So stress is just an inability to manage the inner situation, not the outer situation. Essentially, the quality of our lives changes and transforms not because we change the content of our lives, but only because we change the context of our lives. If someone is living a beautiful life, it does not mean he is doing something different. When he wakes up in the morning, he also goes to the toilet. He also brushes his teeth. He also does the same things. But somehow, his life is magical and beautiful because of the context.
This could have happened to people when they fall in love with someone. When they fell in love, and everything becomes different because the context of their life has changed. But then, once they fall out of love, again, the context of their life changes and they become miserable. Changing the content of your life as you wish may not be possible because you need permission from the situations in which you exist, but changing the context is something that you can do willfully. You don't need anyone's permission. It is not at all situational.
On a certain day, three men were working in one place. Another man came by and asked the first man, "What are you doing here?" The man looked up and said, "Are you blind? Can't you see I'm cutting stone?" This person moved on to the next man and asked, "What are you doing here?" That man looked up and said, "Something to fill my belly. So I come here and do whatever they ask me to do. I just have to fill my belly, that's all." He went to the third man and asked, "What are you doing here?" That man stood up in great joy and said, "I'm building a beautiful temple here!" All of them were doing the same thing, but their experience of what they were doing was worlds apart.
Every human being, every moment of his life could be doing whatever he is doing in any one of these three contexts – and that will determine the quality of his life, not what he is actually doing. How simple or complex an activity is doesn't change the quality of your life. With what context you do it changes the quality of your life.

Incorporated in 1847, Atlanta owes its existence to the railroads. Located at the southern extremity of the Appalachian Mountains, Atlanta became the gateway through which most traffic had to pass between the southern Atlantic Seaboard and regions to the west. Today, Atlanta is a major business city, which boasts the country's third largest concentration of Fortune 500 companies; and home to the world headquarters of corporations such as The Coca-Cola Company, Turner Broadcasting, The Home Depot, AT&T Mobility, UPS, and Delta Air Lines. The city is also the primary transportation hub of the Southeastern United States (via highway, railroad and air), with Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport being among the world's busiest airports and providing Delta Air Lines with the world's largest airline hub.
Atlanta consistently ranks as one of Fortune Magazine's Top 10 Best Cities for Business. Business environment and quality of life also consistently place Atlanta at the top of major U.S. metropolitan areas for working, living and playing. More than 75% of Fortune 1000 companies have business operations in the metropolitan area. Since 1990, more than 300 companies have relocated their U.S. or regional headquarters here.
According to the U.S. Census, the 28-county Atlanta region population ranks as the fastest-growing metropolitan statistical area (MSA) in the nation. By 2020, the area is forecasted to be the sixth largest metro area in the country with a population of more than 7 million.
Considered a world-class business center, Atlanta's office market totals more than 295 million square feet. The bulk of Atlanta's office market centers along Peachtree Street, running from Downtown to Buckhead. More than 53 million square feet of space either exists or is under construction, proposed or planned in the submarkets that run along Atlanta's prime address. In the last decade, businesses in Atlanta have absorbed, on average, more than 3 million square feet of office space annually. Downtown serves as home to more than 430 recognized Fortune 500 companies and 140,000 office workers employed in approximately 5,000 businesses – the highest concentration of businesses in the Metro Atlanta region.
With nearly 350 million total square feet of retail, Atlanta has a lot to offer avid shoppers, ranging from large, affordable stores to upscale options to local, creative boutiques. Countless regional malls, outlet malls, and high-end lifestyle centers are spread throughout the metro area and are easily accessible. In addition to the almost 5 million shoppers living in the metro area, Atlanta's retail market benefits from its proximity to the major I-75, I-85 and I-20 highways and the world's busiest airport, which make it easy for people in the surrounding areas and states to visit Atlanta for a shopping/dining/entertainment experience.
Atlanta is the largest industrial market in the Southeast with more than 639 million square feet of space. Over the past decade, companies have absorbed 11 million square feet of industrial space annually. Key industries in Atlanta include petroleum, steel, motor vehicles, aerospace, telecommunications, chemicals, electronics, food processing, consumer goods, lumber and mining. Major industrial areas include agricultural products, capital goods, telecommunications equipment, motor vehicle parts, office machines, electric power machinery and consumer goods. With three major interstate highways intersecting in Atlanta and an extraordinary concentration of rail systems, trucking companies, warehouse and distribution centers, Atlanta's logistics infrastructure and capabilities are unrivalled. Over the past decade, the city's industrial real estate sector has gained from the addition of more than 14,000 green jobs. With more than 43,000 green jobs in total, Atlanta ranks in the top-10 clean economies in the U.S.
The city is a center for services, business, higher education, information technology, and finance. Atlanta's strengths include a diverse economy, strong in-migration and population growth (more than 1.1 million new residents from 2000-2008), and a business-friendly environment. These factors have made Atlanta very attractive to foreign investors. The 2,000-plus foreign-owned business facilities in Metro Atlanta make up more than 80% of all international facilities in Georgia. International companies employ more than 115,000 people in the region.
Launched in early 2010, Avison Young's Atlanta office has grown to more than 60 employees with approximately 20 million square feet of property under management. Led by top professionals, the Atlanta brokerage has built a broad platform covering all industry sectors. Atlanta serves as the hub of Avison Young's Southeast expansion, partnering with many of the company's other U.S. offices on several projects. Avison Young's Atlanta-based Southeast Capital Markets Group also works frequently with the firm's Canadian offices, particularly Toronto and Vancouver, to assist Canadian investors with cross-border investments in commercial and multi-residential property located in the Southeastern and Sunbelt markets.

FAMILIES across England are invited to gather in their local forest this summer to celebrate The Gruffalo's 15th anniversary with a big birthday forest picnic.
On Saturday, June 7, the Forestry Commission is inviting families to celebrate the popular character's special year and host their own birthday party picnic at a deep dark wood near their home.
Local participating sites include Alice Holt Forest and the New Forest.
An exciting party pack of forest activities and Gruffalo inspired picnic ideas is free for those who have signed up to find out more at www.forestry.gov.uk/gruffalo.
The top five recipe ideas include a Gruffalo crumble, mouse droppings that taste very much like raisins, roast fox rolls, mouse's favourite cheese sandwiches and scrambled snake quiche.
The party packs also include blank Gruffalo invitations so visitors can invite their family and friends, recommended party games such as 'Pin the wart on the Gruffalo,' and 'What's the time Mr Gruffalo,' as well as five different activity sheets to keep children inspired during their time in the forest.
The big birthday picnic is part of a range of activities happening in forests across England this year.
The Gruffalo activity trails started this month and will run until September 2014. The trails show activities and crafts for families to try out on their walk around the woods as they explore Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's award-winning tale.
In time for the birthday picnic, 15 giant wooden sculptures of one of the world's best loved monsters himself will be hidden in forests across England (one sculpture in each selected forest), for families to track down. A sculpture will be on show in Alice Holt.
Standing 7ft tall and all different, the Gruffalos are being individually carved in a secret woodland location out of three-ton pieces of timber, each carefully-selected from Forestry Commission sites.
In October, The Gruffalo's Child activity trails take over and will stay in forests right through the winter until February 2015.
Sign up online at www.forestry.gov.uk/gruffalo to find out more.

Folded-space transporter and Principle of Spacefolding Edit
- Folded-space transporter and Spacefolding
- The first is covered better and more extensively under folded-space transport so at least this needs to be merged and redirected, the second has no real reference in Trek and is not necessary or canon in my opinion. In addition to being a poorly written article. Logan 5 14:35, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)

- if the folded-space transporter was referred to or seen as a device in and of itself -- than rehabilitate the article to be about the piece of technology itself (while the folded-space transport article will be about the process of transporting itself). If not possible to do so, then delete. if the term "spacefolding" wasn't used in the episode, delete it -- but if it was used, possibly redirect to folded-space transport, otherwise delete -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk
- Deleted Spacefolding, the other paged seems to be cited. --Alan del Beccio 02:16, 21 Sep 2005 (EDT)
Moved from Talk:Dimensional shifterEdit
This page has to be merged with either Folded-space transport or Folded-space transporter. --Jörg 15:29, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- After seeing said other pages, I think that a merge would be more appropriate with Folded-space transporter. Although, in my opinion, shouldn't we merge the aformentioned to this one. Simply placing its information under a new catagory. One main reason is that in the actual episode, it is refered to as a dimensional shift transport. Nmajmani 20:02, 17 March 2007 (UTC)-Nmajmani

Bermuda Hotel Guide
Though locals refer to it as simply "the island," Bermuda actually sprawls over 100 islands and islets. Don't feel overwhelmed; the entire area is only 21 square miles, and most Bermuda resorts are easily accessible by car rental or public transportation. If you're looking for a little star-studded relaxation, start your search of Bermuda hotels with the all inclusive hotels dotted throughout Southampton Parish. This vibrant neighborhood is home to some of Bermuda's most jaw-dropping beaches, and the hotels in Southampton provide a seemingly endless treasure trove of things to do. For an especially breathtaking view, try the area's Horseshoe Bay hotels. Trust us, you've never seen powder-white sands and deep-turquoise waters quite like these.
More interested in checking out the local culture? Take a look at the boutique hotels lining the colonial streets of historic St. George. You'll find a few must-see hotels on the beach here, but St. George's charm lies mostly in the winding alleys, stately churches and quaint British taverns. It's all part of Bermuda's unforgettable personality. Whether you prefer lounging in a hammock, strolling through a museum or savoring an ice-cold rum punch, the top hotels in Bermuda have you covered.
Once you've found the perfect Bermuda hotel, browse our flights to Bermuda to plan how you'll get there. Then close your eyes and imagine yourself in this sparkling Atlantic paradise. After all, Bermuda vacations aren't celebrity favorites for nothing.
Discovered in 1505 by Spanish explorers, Bermuda has enticed visitors for centuries. Bermuda is actually a group of islands situated about 640 miles to the southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. The largest island is usually what people refer to as "Bermuda." Known for pink sand beaches, Bermuda boasts coastal reefs and an extensive arts community. Due to its proximity to the East Coast of the U.S., Bermuda is a popular destination for American travelers. From lighthouses to the Botanical Gardens with virtually unlimited underwater visibility, Bermuda attracts both sightseers and maritime enthusiasts.
With its humid subtropical climate, people staying at Bermuda hotels enjoy spending time on the extensive beaches all year long. Hotels in Bermuda often have private beach access and amenities such as beach chairs, towels, and umbrellas for rest and relaxation. The many cheap hotel deals in Bermuda make this top island destination inexpensive to visit. In getting around the islands and cities such as Hamilton, visitors must either use public transportation or scooters, as there are no rental cars available.
When visiting Bermuda, it is a good idea to make reservations in advance. Prices for rooms at the best accommodations vary based on the season and events going on in the community. Families looking for cheap hotel deals in Bermuda might find discount rates if they take the time to book well in advance of their desired departing date. Make the most of a cheap Bermuda hotel deal by planning an itinerary that includes visits to some of the island's villages, such as St. George's Town, to sample local cuisine and enjoy lively music and island culture.
Many Bermuda hotel deals include extras such as breakfasts and access to on-site perks including spa services. Bermuda hotel packages include tours to the neighboring smaller islands or sea life viewing opportunities. A trip to Bermuda can turn into a special event by including stops at the Royal Naval Dockyard, Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo, and the Crystal Caves, which feature stalactites and underground saltwater pools. So many interesting places are open to explore that many visitors are already planning a second trip before they leave the islands.

COLUMBUS GROVE — A long-time downtown business in Columbus Grove is closing their doors.
Members of the Kohls family have announced they are closing CG Grocery, formerly Kohls Market, in Columbus Grove.
few months ago, co-owner Mark Kohls told council members there were
looking for a potential buyer for the store. During the April 14 meeting
he said this was to no avail and because of only going losses at the
Columbus Grove location over several years the decision had been made to
close the store.
"There is no truth to the rumor that we have
been made offers like from Community Market," Kohls said at the meeting.
"These are only rumors."
Kohls said Kohls Market does not own the
building. "We only lease it," he said. "The owner will obviously be
looking for a new tenant."
The Ottawa Kohls will remain open.
"We will continue to offer the fresh meat and fresh produce we are know for," Kohls said.
The family has wrote the following letter for the village and their customers.
To our customers
Grocery, formerly Kohls Market, will be closing April 30, 2013. The
Kohls Family has had a story in Columbus Grove since the 1930's. It has
been fun, stressful, rewarding, trying entertaining, frustrating, and
fulfilling. Most of all, it's been a great pleasure being able to serve
the people and making a living in our wonderful small town.
nature of the business and of people's lives has changed greatly over
the decades. Our store and the way we do business has changed and
adapted many times since the 30's. The nature of the grocery business
today is such that it is nearly impossible for the small store in a
small town to survive.
Unfortunately, the small town,
locally-owned grocery stores are going the way of the Dinosaurs. Our
store in Columbus Grove is no exception.
Not only is it
no longer possible to make a living, for the last several years there
have been increasing losses. These mounting losses are no longer
For several months a buyer has been sought to no avail. Therefore, our only option is to close.
take this opportunity to say a Big "Thank-you" to the people of
Columbus Grove past and present for the wonderful experience of doing
business here for the last 80 years.
We go forward with faith in God, believing that when one door closes, He opens another.
The Kohls Family

by customising the loaded firmware?
09-23-2010 #42Yaddayadda Guest
09-23-2010 #43emsi Guest
Once there is a new firmware downloaded it unpacks it and does the very same trick the Custom Firmware Loadrer does (that's why it is possible at all BTW): it starts it! Then it stats in "upgrade mode" which is flashing the firmware to the main flash.
What we need to do is: do the Custom Firmware tsick but in the "upgrade mode". Then the mail flash would be flashed with the firmware that we provide (either 3.15, custom or 3.50 but the later might not be wise anyway.

I don't get it. Why is this useful? Does it mean I can boot the ps3 without the usb thing anymore?
09-23-2010 #45cfwprophet Guest
You can boot a CFW for your ps3 with it. Now understand?
09-23-2010 #46ibuycheap Guest
How is that useful now? Sure its great on the psp where cfw exists but now this seems like a waste of time unless you plan on coding some cfw yourself.
09-23-2010 #47GrandpaHomer Guest
It very useful because instead of messing around with your flash in PS3 you can do just "soft mods" to it's copy in USB dive avoiding thus pemamently damaging your PS3 - useful for testing and playing around with zero danger to your PS3
09-23-2010 #48hunterrr Guest
I have been messing with the SPRX and SELF files and i lauched the "swreset.self" i was curious on what this was and when i launched it my PS3 froze so i restarted (i always try to sign in dont ask why).
i signed in it asked me to update and i hit OK just because i wanted to see what this swreset.self file has done and it said "The latest software version is already installed" so i tried to sign in again and it told me i need to update again, AND AGAIN.
i hit OK it says the same thing "Latest version is installed" anyways does anyone here no which plugin checks your sw version?
09-23-2010 #49Perzian Guest
Can i go online with my original discs with the cfw? I'm still on 3.41, but i wanna play some Street fighter online.
09-23-2010 #50laggmaster Guest
at this time it is imposible to go online without 3.50 (haven't checked the update bypass method from 3.42 but it dosen't matter jailbreak dosen't work on it) it may be possible one day but with CFW it is more likely that you will see hacked ps3s playing on blackcell networks with other hacked ps3s probably not online with the rest of the sony zombie boxes out there...

Landlord/Tenant Cases
Landlord/Tenant cases, including those involving foreclosure, are scheduled for hearing on Fridays at 9:30 a.m. in the Civil Division of the General District Court. Most often, these cases are filed on an unlawful detainer (DC-421) form requesting possession of the property, plus any rent and/or damages that are due. It is very important to comply with the law when filing an unlawful detainer action, especially in regards to timeliness of service and any notice of termination that must be served prior to the filing of the unlawful detainer. The Court provides a handout on Landlord/Tenant Practice in the Fairfax County General District Court that may be requested at the Civil Clerk's Office in Room 211.

Figure that employs an apparent contradiction which,
nonetheless, evokes some measure of truth; a statement which seems at one
level to be nonsensical because it moves against a normalcy. At another
level, however, the figure conjures a new way of seeing or understanding,
a novel meaning.
Example #1: "I don't hustle with people who are dishonest."
-- delivered by Woody Harrelson (from the movie White Men Can't Jump)
Example #2: "The closer we are to danger, the farther we are from harm."
-- delivered by Billy Boyd (from the movie The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers)

Michael Collins: They let us out
of jail just so we could do our best to be put inside again, Harry.
Don't you see a certain paradox in that? Hmm?
Harry Boland: ....
Michael Collins: "Paradox -- a contradiction: where an immovable force meets an immovable object kind of thing.
Harry Boland: Zzzzzzz.

"Mr. Chairman, Mr. President, my fellow Democrats, my fellow Americans:
I proudly and humbly accept your nomination."

"Paradox has been defined as 'Truth standing on her head to attract attention.' But it must be admitted that writers, like other mendicants and mountebanks, frequently do try to attract attention. They set out conspicuously, in a single line in a play, or at the head or tail of a paragraph, remarks of this challenging kind; as when Mr. Bernard Shaw wrote: 'The Golden Rule is that there is no Golden Rule'; or Oscar Wilde observed: 'I can resist everything except temptation'; or as a duller scribe (not to be named with these and now doing penance for his earlier vices in the nobler toil of celebrating the virtues of Mr. Pond) said in defense of hobbies and amateurs and general duffers like himself: 'If a thing is worth doing, it's worth doing badly.' To these things do writers sink."

Captain Ramsey: I understand you two are

Captain Hilts: Well, we sneak
out at night to a spot I found near the wire -- a blind spot. Then
we dig straight down three feet, take the dirt, spread it on top so
it won't make a pile, and then straight out. Ives here is a tunnel
man, so he digs in front, pushes the dirt behind him, and I stash it
behind me. Then we just burrow right through the dirt like a couple
of moles. Then by dawn we're under the wire, across the open
space, into the woods -- and gone.
Captain Hilts: Oh, we got a steel rod with hinges on it and we shove it up and make air holes as we go along.
Flight Lieutenant MacDonald: Now, why didn't anybody think of that before? It's so stupid it's positively brilliant.

"There was a little boy who didn't know if he wanted to be born. His mommy didn't know if she wanted him to be born either. They lived in a cabin, in the woods, on an island, in a lake, and there was no one else around. And in the cabin -- there was a door in the floor."

It features Inspector Lestrade (Rupert Graves) following up on some rumored sightings of Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch), who is believed to be dead.

It had faced opposition from MPs and campaigners to its Mental Health Bill, which would allow people to be detained to protect themselves or the public.
It has agreed to a compromise proposal ensuring that any compulsory treatment must be of "therapeutic benefit".
The bill gained its third reading by 272 to 202 votes, a majority of 70.
It now returns to the House of Lords, where a string of defeats has already been inflicted on the government, to consider MPs' amendments.
Labour MP Chris Bryant suggested the "treatability test" compromise during a two-day Commons debate.
He said psychiatric units should not become "prisons by another name" and added that mentally ill people had the right to appropriate treatment.
"We cannot simply wash our hands of them. We cannot just be detaining people for the purpose of detaining them. There has to be some kind of therapeutic benefit," he said.
The Tories welcomed the move and Health Minister Rosie Winterton told MPs that mental health organisations had urged her to back the amendment.
Good compromise
She said it was a good compromise, as it was based on the purpose of medical treatment - "it does not turn on the likelihood of treatment achieving that purpose".
Ministers have been trying to update mental health laws since 1998.
The bill, which would allow people with severe personality disorders to be detained, if judged to be a threat, was introduced after several high profile murders involving people suffering from mental health problems.
The government says it balances the need for treatment with public safety, but it has been criticised for being too draconian.
The Tories also wanted an "impaired decision making" test put into the bill, to ensure that patients who retained the capacity to decide their own treatment should have their wishes respected.
Shadow health minister Tim Loughton said: "What that does is to acknowledge that suffering from a mental disorder doesn't automatically mean that someone isn't fully able to make decisions.
Series of amendments
That was supported by Labour MP Lynne Jones and Lib Dem MP Evan Harris, who said it allowed for people who, while mentally ill, were rational in deciding they did not want medical treatment.
But Ms Winterton said it would leave potentially dangerous people to be dealt with by the criminal justice system and the amendment was defeated.
The government has already outlined a series of concessions in an effort to get it through Parliament. Ministers have been trying to update mental health legislation since 1998.
They include new plans to give people detained under mental health laws access to advocacy services and to allow under-18s held in adult institutions to be treated in "age appropriate settings".
But they have stuck by the plans to allow doctors to issue supervised community treatment orders, which would force patients to take medicine and place them under detention if required.
The shake-up in the law has been driven by Michael Stone's 1998 conviction for the murders of Lin and Megan Russell.
Stone was regarded as a dangerous psychopath and it had been assumed he was not held under mental health powers because his condition was considered untreatable.
This was subsequently found not to be the case as he was receiving treatment but gaps in his care meant he was not given the correct treatment.
