The Nonexistent Knight and the Cloven Viscount, Italo Calvino (trans. by Archibald Colquhoun), Mariner Books, 1977, ISBN 9780156659758, 264pp.
I’ve long meant to give Calvino a try as his name is always mentioned in the company of other magic realists and fabulists that I like. I decided on this one simply because I found a nice copy used. Unfortunately, I didn’t like it very much and I wonder if I just got the wrong book to give Calvino a fair try.
This is two novellas that showcase why he’s considered a magic realist, and they do meet at least my definition of that term. In “The Nonexistent Knight,” the titular character Agilulf is indeed an empty suit of armor which even Charlemagne finds off-putting rather than unusual. After setting up that the Knight is about the most perfect of the paladins (so much so that his fellow paladins dread him), a meal discussion reveals that the incident on which his knighthood is based might be false, thus leading him on a quest to discover the virgin whom he rescued many years ago. A couple of other characters–including a Red Sonja-type maid who yearns for the knight because he is perfect in every respect but physicality–and a strange nun narrator who keeps inserting her voice add some side-trips to this search, but it’s a strange fairy-tale that wraps up in the end but still leaves you wondering what it was all about.
“The Cloven Viscount” is even stranger, about a lord who was severed in half (down the middle) and in which each half survives, yet one side is all bad and the other is all good. The fact that I can’t keep a bad Star Trek episode out of my mind the entire time I’m reading this is not a recommendation. More so than the first novella, I couldn’t see what the point was. With both of these, it could be that it was simply lost in translation, or that I just wasn’t open to the wonders of the stories.
I’d be willing to give Calvino another try, although I think I may ask around for recommendations before picking up the next book.

Jan 9, 2006 | 00:02 1 I noticed in the other thread a discussion developed about keeping the Sabbath.
Scripture says Yahshua became our Sabbath. It's not just one day of the week we should rest in Him, but every day.
Hebrews 4:4-11, "For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest (sabbatismos) to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief."
Your post triggers some questions.
1 Is Yeshua out to lunch in Matt 5:17-20 when He proclaims that the instructions and the prophets will not disappear until heaven and earth disappear?
2 Since the Sabbath commandment is part of the ten, are the other 9 also void?
3 Is Isa 66:22-24 talking about something other than the new heaven and new earth that belivers have a hope to inhabit?
4 Why is a beliver in such a notion working at all? Hebr 4:9-10. Since such a believer has entered in to the Sabbath rest of Yeshua, he/she should not work ever,right?
5 Since the is no special day for Sabbath, why do most christians celebrate a day of rest on the day of sun worship that the catholic church adopted in favour of the Sabbath that Yeshua followers kept?
I hope this can lead to a good discussion based on scripture.
The Law has definitely not been changed.
Exodus 20:8-9, "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:"
Hebrews 4:10, "For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his."
I believe this is talking about the millenium age, the thousand year rule by Yahshua.
Common sense would tell one that working for the Lord would include seeing to one's bodily needs so one could continue to work for the Lord.
In effect, seeing to one's bodily needs would then be the Lord's work.
I could only attribute it to Biblical illiteracy.
Thanks for not slinging mud!!
Yeshua became the living Torah. How can Yeshua be other than according to Torah? And my question is very logical. If we can change one commandment, why not change all? The 4th commandment is the longest, most detailed commandment.
Interestingly we divide our year according to the earths travel one turn around the sun and the day according to the earth spinning one revolution, but organising the days into seven and calling them weeks have no natural connection. Months can be tied to the moon phases and is scriptural since the first instruction was to celebrate new moon. Sun worshippers are idolaters.
The only reason for a seven day week is Gods word!
Since the Sabbath is a commandment and since God wants us to keep the seventh day holy. Since the Sabbath has been kept until Yeshua came and since Yeshua kept the Sabbath and since all the disciples kept the Sabbath. Since the Sabbath was changed by humansto sun-day. And since we obviously are to keep the Sabbath in the millenium, is it possible maybe that Hebrews talks about how people, gentiles and israelites alike can enter in to Gods rest by faith. Is it possible that Hebrews 4 talks about how Israels people were disobedient and had a hard time to enter Canan?
Verse 9:There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his.
The only thing preventing us to enter that rest is disobedience, verse 11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience.
Common sense have gotten lots of believers in trouble.
Verse 12:For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
This is, again, Not NT ( since it was not written yet) that is referred to but it is Tanak and Torah especially.
Yeshau says that the law stands in Matt 5.
Even to the Gentiles that it talks about in Acts 15, that had a hard time to learn and follow the law it was decided by the whole council what James said: That they should start with these 4 things:1 abstain from food polluted by idols 2 abstain from sexual immorality 3 abstain from meat from strangled animals and 4 not eat blood. Verse 21:For Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath." This is where they should learn: on Sabbath, in the synagogue, learning from Moshe.
Has God really changed His Holy day-the Sabbath? The day we are to honour and keep in remembrance YHVH, Adonai, Hashem??Abraham, Isaacs and Jacobs God!
Another topic. Do you know that the catholic church has changed the ten commandments and also the name of God?
You've answered your own question. Yahshua became God's Word in the flesh. He became the Sabbath.
Sabbath means "rest". We find our rest in Him every day, not just one day of the week.
Actually, Numbers 10:10 refers to the beginning of the month, not new moon. chodesh means "month", or "monthly". Nothing to do with the moon.
Further, you will find prophecies concerning the "children of darkness" are always given in moons. While prophecies concerning the "children of light" are always given in days.
1 Thessalonians 5:5, "Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness."
Yahshua didn't keep the Sabbath in the way you are seeming to imply. He did work on the Sabbath. He healed and picked corn on the Sabbath. But it wasn't His work, it was the Father's work.
I won't be commenting on any particular denomination. Discussing God's Word is more than sufficient for me.
Thank you for acknowledging Yeshua being the living word of God-Torah. Part of Torah is Exodus 20:8-11 (the fourth commandment)8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
The rest we have in Yeshua is compared to when Israels people were led out of captivity and entered Caanan. Compare chapter 3 and 4 and read the whole thing in context.I.e ch 3 v7-11. It is a warning against unbelief.ch 4 v 2 talks about believers and non-believers.
See he says"if they shall enter into my rest". It is a choice and we all know that salvation is by faith in Yeshua so that nobody can boast. Also he states "although the works were finished from the foundation of the world". Since the work was finished from the foundation of the world would indicate that nothing after the foundation of the world would change the works, right?
"For generations to come" means until there are no more generations.
Who are the children of Israel? Eph 3:4-6; In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5which was not made known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God's holy apostles and prophets. 6This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.
Israels people or Gods household are those who believe that Yeshua is who He said He is, and accept Him as Lord .
2320 chodesh from 'chadash' (2318); the new moon; by implication, a month:--month(-ly), new moon.
a primitive root; to be new; causatively, to rebuild:--renew, repair.
This is what MS Encarta has to say about month.
It has all to do with the moon!
As I referred to before in Isaiah 66 it talks about BOTH Sabbaths and New moons to be kept once the new heaven and the new earth is established. It is established in verse 23 "from one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another"that the days are not running together consecutive but rather are distinguished from one to another with space in between(28 days and six days).
Can you explain more in detail where in the Bible you find the connection between the moon and the children of darkness?
Very interesting comment that Yeshua worked on the Sabbath. IF He did He would have committed a sin under the old covenant and thereby He would not have been sin free.
Yeshua did not commit any sin, He was totally and utterly sinfree, so I want to ask you sincerely if you, sir, are implying that Yeshua committed sin?
I would also strongly suggest that none of the disciples broke the Sabbath either!
So whatever actions Yeshua and His disciples did during Sabbath were kosher according to Moshe.
Remember that the religious leaders of that time had implemented many "fence-laws" by themselves for which they were called broad of vipers and white washed toombs.
to repose, i.e to desist from exertion. This fits perfectly with the description God had about to rest the seventh day from work.Day 1-6 exert yourselves, day 7 desist from exertion.
So anybody that proclaims to celebrate an everyday rest should desist from exertion everyday. That sounds like common sense and logic, doesn't it?
Funny how by not mentioning you actually mention!!
Most denominations are demon-nations full of man made religious "laws" and gospels of pastor so and so.
Gods word sets free and is the truth.
It is the manual that has been issued by the manufacturer.
I didn't mean to offend you and if I did I appologize.
I have to speak what is on my mind.
If I am out to lunch, set me straight.

Do you remember Fashion Plates? Those pink plates that had Barbie looking figures on them, and you could mix and match the outfits and then color them in?
I had totally forgotten about this awesome toy until I rummaged through the closet of Local Lily's Brandi Walsh. She showed them to me thinking I would get a kick out of it, and of course I had to sit down and color a bit.
I had forgotten how much I love to color and how AWESOME and simple the toys were back then. It seriously made me want to go out and buy some coloring books and just doodle for an hour. For me, it's one of those activities that totally relaxes my mind.
Does anyone else out there love to color or remember playing with Fashion Plates???

On Wednesday, the Stennis compromise becomes a formal written offer. Cox doesn't rule it out right away, but insists, on Thursday the 18th, on several points. The actual tapes must be available at any trials. Moreover, Cox refuses to sign away the option of asking for additional tapes -- remember, they are now fighting only about the nine conversations in the original subpoena.
Nixon also hears, on Thursday, that Cox is working on Nixon's (and Bebe Rebozo's) taxes -- something the president considers beyond the scope of the special prosecutor. Haig phones Richardson to complain.
That evening, Richardson meets with Haig and Nixon's lawyers. The White House clearly wants Cox fired; indeed, one of the lawyers calls Cox directly, later that night, rejecting both of Cox's conditions. Haig has Nixon that night saying: "No more tapes, no more documents, nothing more! I want an order from me to Elliot [Richardson] to Cox to that effect now."
Drew has Ted Kennedy, on the evening news, threatening that Gerald Ford should be rejected if Ford "refuses to acknowledge the obligation of the President to obey the Supreme Court" on the tapes.
With the next day, Friday, as the deadline for appealing to the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is threatening to cut off oil to the US, and Egil Krogh pleads not guilty in his trial over the Ellsberg break-in.
Do you think at this point Nixon's authority is starting to slip? Can everyone see 'mene, mene tekel upharsin' up there on the wall, and is that playing a part in his trouble with the courts, Richardson, Cox, firing Cox etc? Or is that just what you'd expect anyway given the weakness of the US presidency?

In previous seasons, K-State developed an effective scouting routine leading up to its NCAA Tournament opener. Video and other information on an opponent began flowing.
But the Wildcats will prepare differently this time. On top of adjusting to the approach of a new coaching staff, they will have to spend the next two days planning for multiple opponents before locking in on either La Salle or Boise State on Thursday in Kansas City.
Scouting for two teams instead of one will be a challenge. Coaches will come up with two game plans, and the staff will provide players with twice as much video. To help ease the process, Bruce Weber said four coaches will help gather information instead of the usual three.
Some will argue preparing for multiple opponents puts K-State at a disadvantage compared to other highly seeded teams. Three other teams in the field of 68 have to deal with the same time crunch and challenge of facing a team that has already won a game in the tournament.
Boise State averages more than 73 points behind Anthony Drmic (17.3 points) and Derrick Marks (16.3). The Broncos won nine games in the Mountain West Conference — which this season has college basketball’s top conference RPI — and beat Creighton on the road. They are not easy to prepare for.
Neither is La Salle, which won 11 games in the Atlantic 10 behind dynamic guards Ramon Galloway and Tyreek Duren. The Explorers beat Butler and VCU this season.
Of course, others will say it is an advantage. Sure, K-State doesn’t know who it will play on Friday, but La Salle and Boise State aren’t even thinking about the Wildcats yet.
A live game, especially in the NCAA Tournament, can often reveal more about a team than what can be found from replays of regular-season games.
Kansas State’s basketball game against current No. 1 Gonzaga next season at Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita will be Dec. 21, the schools announced Monday. It’s a return trip to Kansas after Gonzaga’s victory in a neutral-court game in Seattle this season.
K-State season-ticket holders and Ahearn Fund members will have first opportunities to purchase tickets, with a public sale beginning at 10 a.m. Sept. 13 through selectaseat.com or by calling 855-755-7328. Tickets will range between $12 and $200, and K-State students can purchase $10 student tickets in the fall.

What did you get at the last gun show you attended?
Notice: No liberals were offended in the creation of this video.
I’ve recently helped a friend set up at the local gun show.
I’ve been a big fan of gun shows all my life. I started going as a kid with my dad and haven’t missed many shows since then, I even try to attend gun shows when I travel if possible.
So it’s always discouraging to hear a fellow shooter or firearms enthusiast complain about gun shows.
I hope I can offer a few reasons why you may want to attend the next gun show in your area.
First let’s explain what a gun show is for anyone who is not clear. They are basically swap meets or flea markets that concentrate on firearms and their accessories.
One common complaint about gun shows is the other items besides firearms that show up sometimes.
Thinking about it from the promoters point of view, they need to find the public venue to hold the show, arrange for vendors to come and sell, provide security, tables, insurance and all the behind the scenes work involved with an event like this.
So if a show doesn’t bring in a lot of people to buy, it will attract fewer vendors to sell, then fewer vendors attract less people and you can see the downward spiral.
Of course the bills for the promoter are the same no matter how many vendors or people show up to buy.
Since the 1968 Gun Control Act, which created the FFL system of licensing gun shops manufacturers in gunsmiths, licensed gun shops who do business in firearms are only able to sell at their location which is why we don’t see door to door gun sales . However in the FFL licensing it states that the gun shops can sell at official gun shows.
Another common complaint is prices at gun shows. Now, I am not rich and I like a bargain as well as the next guy, however I also live in a free market and understand supply and demand.
Having a lot of firearms dealers in a single location can create a competitive pricing environment but it is not guaranteed to be.
At some gun shows you might find political candidates reaching out to firearms owners, local and state level pro guns pro rights organizations and even one to one conversation with other gun owners.
There is so much talk of preparing for emergencies and many people include making contacts in their community as part of that preparation what better place than a gun show to find those like minded individuals?
Small Arms Review will be hosting their Western US show from December 2nd to the 4th at the Arizona State Fairgrounds. For a great opportunity to see and purchase the latest and greatest from countless dealers, check it out.

The Alkal-Life Water System is an advanced purification ionizer that plays a vital role in our health and provides for us a better way to apply the use of water in our everyday lives.
In order to maximize the benefits, the system uses a high performance active carbon filter that removes microscopic organisms and water clustering. The tourmaline enclosed in the filter also plays a crucial role in sieving out contaminants to deliver pristine water.
Over time, however, mineral buildup and chlorine residuals may clog the channel. As a result, the water pressure may increase causing internal damages and malfunctions to the water system. We recommended the filter be replaced after the cycle of use of 792 gallons, or 3,000 liters (6 months’ worth of purified water).
The Filter Discount Program is designed to help you save money and also to maximize and maintain the performance of the Alkal-Life Water System.
This agreement is on 6 filters given at every 6-month interval throughout a 3 year term.
On enrollment to this 3-year program, Richway International will ship to you one filter replacement for every 6 months (total of 6 filters). Under the filter discount program, each filter costs you just $100 including shipping. You must sign up for the program and your credit card will be billed before each filter is shipped. Normally the filters cost $120 each plus $15 shipping.
We also recommend purchasing our CLEANING FILTER to be used before every filter change. These filters insure that your Alkal-Life is clean and safe when every new filter is installed. Cleaning filters cost $50 plus shipping.
People with well water must also purchase our “S” Filter which pre-filters your tap water before it reaches the Alkal-Life unit and filter. This is a comprehensive filter that removes typical contaminants found in well water such as heavy iron. The “S” filter is good for 10,000 gallons of use and cost $240 plus shipping.

over time, however, mineral buildup and chlorine residuals may clog the channel. as a result, the water pressure may increase causing internal damages and malfunctions to the water system. we recommended the filter be replaced after the cycle of use of 792 gallons, or 3,000 liters (6 months’ worth of purified water).
the filter discount program is designed to help you save money and also to maximize and maintain the performance of the alkal-life water system.
this agreement is on 6 filters given at every 6-month interval throughout a 3 year term.
on enrollment to this 3-year program, richway international will ship to you one filter replacement for every 6 months (total of 6 filters). under the filter discount program, each filter costs you just $100 including shipping. you must sign up for the program and your credit card will be billed before each filter is shipped. normally the filters cost $120 each plus $15 shipping.
we also recommend purchasing our cleaning filter to be used before every filter change. these filters insure that your alkal-life is clean and safe when every new filter is installed. cleaning filters cost $50 plus shipping.
people with well water must also purchase our “s” filter which pre-filters your tap water before it reaches the alkal-life unit and filter. this is a comprehensive filter that removes typical contaminants found in well water such as heavy iron. the “s” filter is good for 10,000 gallons of use and cost $240 plus shipping.


text: One of the most awaited shows of Paris Fashion week was Balenciaga, after announcing last year the depart of Gesquiere and the entry of Alexander Wang, we where all curious. Today very early in the morning (9:30 am) the collection was presented at the headquarters in Paris at avenue George V to a very limited number of guests… “very limited”! Big contrast with yesterday’s H&M show. The Collection? I think it was a safe start with some interesting pieces, I have posted the ones I liked most,specially that camouflage colors suit, It looks really futuristic and has Balenciaga architectural trademark. I see it as of 2020 but we can wear it now. But personally I did not have a “wow” effect, but not disappointed either, I think it will grow from here. We will see what others say.

Why would anyone make carrot jam, you say? To luxuriate in carrots elevated to a higher, sweeter calling? To treat spring’s plucky root veg to an honourable place in the jam cabinet? To have an excuse to buy brandy?
All the reasonable reasons. And this isn’t some budget jam for drifters too thrifty to afford a box of raspberries – it’s a fancypants thing. A hint of brandy adds mystery and depth, toasted ground almonds enrich, feathery bits of micro-carrot swirl through it for texture and beauty. See? Fancy dancy.
Also, it is kind of a budget jam, to be honest. Carrots are one of the nicest most affordable vegetables (so much that I once turned orange from eating soooo many of them ( ; •ー_一 •) … and the almonds don’t have to be there, or the brandy. This was made from a 27 kilogram bag I picked up at the miniature organic marché on my corner for $2.50. Maybe it wasn’t that heavy. Maybe it was. Never enough carrots, I say.
Anyway, the real reason I made it was that I wanted something thematic to put on a swiss roll cake, so it’s like, specifically useful for imparting flavours. And it’s not health food. But it’s springtime appropriate and I want to eat it on warm toasted rye slices with almond butter, like, right now.
Heat oven to 325℉, spread the almonds on a baking sheet and toast (checking often) until browned and aromatic. Cool them completely, then with a food processor, mortar & pestle, or chef’s knife, grind to the texture of pebbly sand.
Set aside one big carrot and grate it finely to make about a cup of shreds. Slice the remaining carrots thinly (thinner perhaps than pictured here) and put in a medium-sized heavy bottomed saucepan with the water and citrus zest. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until carrots are very tender. Check every few minutes and add more water if necessary to bring the level back to where it was initially.
When the carrots are tender, tip them into a blender with the citrus juices and make a smooth purée. Return the purée to the pot and add the sugar over low heat, stirring to dissolve it. Add the sherry or brandy (if using), and the shredded carrots. Bring the jam to a steady bubble over medium heat. Stir the bottom often to prevent sticking, and cook until the jam thickens slightly. Add the ground almonds and cook until the jam is darkened, thickened, and glossy and a trail is left on the bottom of the pot when you run a spoon across it. Ladle into sterilized jars and seal down. You can also keep it in the fridge for about 3 weeks.
This is beautiful jam! And it sounds really good.

APATZINGAN, Mexico — Federal forces struggled to bring order to western Mexico Wednesday as vigilantes battled a vicious drug cartel that apparently tried to reassert its authority by burning a downtown pharmacy to enforce its orders that no businesses should open.
The fire attack came just two blocks from the Apatzingan city center where, the day before, dozens of federal police had paraded in an impressive display of force meant to re-impose order in a region where heavily armed vigilantes have taken up a freelance fight against the drug gang.
An employee of the pharmacy said two men pulled up with jerry cans of gasoline and began dousing the store and its merchandise. “They just told us to get out, because they were going to burn the place,” she said.
The employee, part of whose hair was burned off in the attack, refused to give her name for fear of reprisals.
Owners of other stores have said that cartel gunmen have ordered them to close or risk being burned down. Another pharmacy employee, who gave her name only as Norma, said the increased federal security that arrived this week appeared to have done little to discourage the Knights Templar cartel, which has subjected local residents to systematic extortion for years.
But federal forces have other challenges, as well. The local police in Apatzingan were considered so untrustworthy that the entire 300-man force was relieved of duty and sent out of town for background checks.
Officials from the federal and Michoacan state governments met until late Tuesday with leaders of “self-defense” groups.
While refusing to give up their weapons, vigilante leaders appeared to be seeking a cooling of tensions.
“We have to be discreet with our weapons and not move up and down the highways with them,” said Hipolito Mora, a lime grower who leads the self-defense group in the town of La Ruana, after the meeting.
Interior Secretary Miguel Angel Osorio Chong confirmed the talks had taken place, and said the government was offering jobs as police to qualified members of the self-defense forces.
The spokesman for the vigilante movement, Estanislao Beltran, previously said the vigilantes weren’t interested in such offers. “We don’t want jobs as policemen. We’re fighting for the freedom of our families,” he said.
The talks came after soldiers clashed with townspeople in Antunez, where at least two men were reportedly killed during the confrontation that began late Monday. Video of the clash aired by Milenio Television showed a chaotic scene in which angry townspeople scuffled with soldiers and apparently tried to grab the gun and equipment of at least one soldier.
The unrest is in a region of Michoacan known as Tierra Caliente, a farming area rich in limes, avocados and mangos where vigilante groups have been trying to drive out the Knights Templar drug cartel. After a weekend of firefights, the government announced Monday that it would take on security duties in the area.
Throughout Tuesday, federal police officers and soldiers set up roadside checkpoints just yards from roadblocks manned by vigilantes on routes into towns controlled by self-defense groups, but there were no attempts to take weapons from the civilians.
One federal officer who was not authorized to speak to the press said they had no orders to disarm anyone, or to try to take towns held by vigilantes, who have surrounded Apatzingan, which is said to be a Knights Templar stronghold.
Hundreds of federal police officers poured into Apatzingan, the region’s main city, in pickup trucks mounted with machines guns, armored vehicles and buses. They massed in the city’s main square.
Critics have suggested that some self-defense groups have been infiltrated by the rival New Generation cartel, which the vigilantes vehemently deny.
After initially arresting vigilantes months ago, the federal government has appeared to be working with them recently. The army and federal police have provided helicopter cover and road patrols while self-defense groups attacked the cartel, but never intervened in the battles.
Self-defense group leaders said they were coordinating the highway blockades in the 17 municipalities they control to keep out soldiers and federal police.
Felipe Diaz, a leader of vigilantes in Coalcoman, said close to 1,000 men, women and children helped block the main highway until soldiers and dozens of federal police in four buses and 15 pickup trucks left the area.
Associated Press writers Olga R. Rodriguez, E. Eduardo Castillo and Katherine Corcoran in Mexico City contributed to this report.

Speaking Objection Law and Legal Definition | USLegal, Inc.
Speaking objection is an objection that contains more information than needed by the judge to sustain or overrule it. It is often in the form of an argument. Many judges prohibit lawyers from using speaking objections, and sometimes even from stating the grounds for objections, as it can influence the jury.
An interruption of the opposing counsel with a speech rather than a simple, succinct objection stating a rule or point of evidence is also referred to as speaking objection.

LAURA'S is just what Oyster Bay needs and its residents know it. They have taken this newly opened American restaurant to their hearts and made it an instant hit. Even midweek evenings find nearly every table filled; on Saturdays there are crowds waiting in the bar.
Part of the draw is James Paskins, the restaurant's chef and owner, who acquired a following during his years at the Coach Grill, also in Oyster Bay. His wife and other family members efficiently handle the front of the house. Another crowd pleaser is the reasonable prices. Entrees start at $11 and top out at $18.
Laura's, named for Mr. Paskins's late mother, looks much as it did last year, when 68 West Main was at this location. It is spacious and comfortable. The dining room is defined by white columns, carved molding, smoky mirrors and crystal chandeliers. In a town filled with casual cafes, Laura's smart good looks make it stand out.
One new feature is the entrance through the bar. This, no doubt, eliminates drafts in the dining room but the crowded, smoky bar does not make a positive first impression. The dining room, however, is a place of charm and serenity.
Other salad sensations are a just-right Caesar and a plate of grilled vegetables served atop baby greens with a balsamic vinaigrette as a dipping sauce. The seafood salad carries a price tag ($12) that is higher than some entrees, but this abundant assembly could be a main course. It stars jumbo shrimp, sea scallops, calamari, scungilli, chopped peppers, red onions, celery and black olives in a lemon-basil vinaigrette.
Other openers I would order again are tender clams oreganata with a refreshingly spare use of bread crumbs, New Zealand mussels in a sherry pink sauce enlivened by spicy, smoky andouille sausage, a huge crab cake made lighter by the inclusion of shredded vegetables and two big portobellos served on a bed of grilled tomatoes and baby spinach. One creation that does not work, though, is the smoked-salmon-crusted-oysters. The delicate bivalves never had a chance. The assertive bready topping was too much for them. Every day a different homemade ravioli ($13) is featured. On my visit, they were filled with sun-dried tomatoes and black olives and tossed with big chunks of succulent chicken, chopped tomatoes, broccoli and an abundance of garlic. A winner! Another tasty pasta pick was fettuccine hidden under a mountain of sliced shell steak, three types of mushrooms and a chunky tomato sauce.
Fish were all cooked with precision. The herb-crusted tuna was rare as ordered and a special of striped bass in a tomato-basil sauce was moist and flaky as was sauteed tilapia in a mushroom-lemon-wine sauce.
Good meat selections include chicken medallions in a brown sauce spiked with bourbon and touched with cream, a juicy grilled rib eye, a tasty shell steak marinated in teriyaki sauce and a memorable rack of lamb special, served pink as ordered, atop a bed of barely wilted baby spinach. That spinach aside, the same vegetables show up with every entree. But, it should be said, the creamy mashed potatoes are terrific.
Desserts are not homemade but high-quality bakery fare. The ganache-like chocolate mousse cake and the creamy New York-style cheesecake are the most noteworthy.
Prices here are gentle, with 15 of 21 table wines in the $14 to $20 range. A glass of flinty Fetzer Sundial chardonnay costs $5 and a bottle of 1995 Tessera zinfandel, displaying a velvety texture and accessible fruit flavors, is $20.

Recommended dishes Clams oreganata, crab cake, portobello mushrooms, mussels, all salads, bourbon chicken, rib eye, marinated shell steak, rack of lamb, ravioli, shell steak fettuccine, tuna, tilapia, striped bass, chocolate mousse cake, cheesecake.
