The best fantasy is written in the language of dreams. It is alive as dreams are alive, more real than real ... for a moment at least ... that long magic moment before we wake.
Fantasy is silver and scarlet, indigo and azure, obsidian veined with gold and lapis lazuli. Reality is plywood and plastic, done up in mud brown and olive drab. Fantasy tastes of habaneros and honey, cinnamon and cloves, rare red meat and wines as sweet as summer. Reality is beans and tofu, and ashes at the end. Reality is the strip malls of Burbank, the smokestacks of Cleveland, a parking garage in Newark. Fantasy is the towers of Minas Tirith, the ancient stones of Gormenghast, the halls of Camelot. Fantasy flies on the wings of Icarus, reality on Southwest Airlines. Why do our dreams become so much smaller when they finally come true?
We read fantasy to find the colors again, I think. To taste strong spices and hear the songs the sirens sang. There is something old and true in fantasy that speaks to something deep within us, to the child who dreamt that one day he would hunt the forests of the night, and feast beneath the hollow hills, and find a love to last forever somewhere south of Oz and north of Shangri-La.
They can keep their heaven. When I die, I'd sooner go to middle Earth.

What had survived - maybe all that had survived of Trism - was Liir's sense of him. A catalog of impressions that arose from time to time, unbidden and often upsetting. From the sandy smell of his sandy hair to the locked grip of his muscles as they had wrestled in sensuous aggression - unwelcome nostalgia. Trism lived in Liir's heart like a full suit of clothes in a wardrobe, dress habillards maybe, hollow and real at once. The involuntary memory of the best of Trism's glinting virtues sometimes kicked up unquietable spasms of longing.

If with part of ourselves we are men and women of the world and share the sad unbeliefs of the world, with a deeper part still, the part where our best dreams come from, it is as if we were indeed born yesterday, or almost yesterday, because we are also all of us children still.

Bad or good, movies nearly always have a strange diminishing effect on works of fantasy (of course there are exceptions; The Wizard of Oz is an example which springs immediately to mind). In discussions, people are willing to cast various parts endlessly. I've always thought Robert Duvall would make a splendid Randall Flagg, but I've heard people suggest such people as Clint Eastwood, Bruce Dern and Christopher Walken. They all sound good, just as Bruce Springsteen would seem to make an interesting Larry Underwood, if ever he chose to try acting (and, based on his videos, I think he would do very well ... although my personal choice would be Marshall Crenshaw). But in the end, I think it's best for Stu, Larry, Glen, Frannie, Ralph, Tom Cullen, Lloyd, and that dark fellow to belong to the reader, who will visualize them through the lens of the imagination in a vivid and constantly changing way no camera can duplicate. Movies, after all, are only an illusion of motion comprised of thousands of still photographs. The imagination, however, moves with its own tidal flow. Films, even the best of them, freeze fiction - anyone who has ever seen One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and then reads Ken Kesey's novel will find it hard or impossible not to see Jack Nicholson's face on Randle Patrick McMurphy. That is not necessarily bad ... but it is limiting. The glory of a good tale is that it is limitless and fluid; a good tale belongs to each reader in its own particular way.

Remove and set aside on paper towels. • Sprinkle with basil and salt. • Transfer to a bowl and drizzle liberally with olive oil. • Boil the pasta until al dente and strain, reserving about two cupfuls of the pasta water. • Place the cooked pasta in a large pan or pot over low heat along with the zucchine mixture and combine gently. Add the pasta water, a little at a time, to create a creamy texture. You may not use all of the pasta water. Now add some of the Parmigiano to the mixture and continue to combine by stirring gently and tossing. When the mixture has a slight creaminess, remove from the stove and serve immediately. Note: The zucchine mixture can be refrigerated for about 5 days for use at a later date. Best to bring it to room temperature before using.

The thought of not having Charlie in my life—in pushing him away like I did with Oz all those years ago—it's unbearable.
"Well, you can try all you like, Alice, but I expect it will be next to impossible. You feel things deeply. You always have."
I wipe my cheek. "I hate that about me."
Her laugh is kind. "It's one of your best qualities. In the long run, it will be more difficult to keep pushing your feelings aside than it will be to stare at yourself in the mirror and accept who you are and what you want."
"But what if what I want gets me hurt?"

Because one time, Frankie, Robin, Penny, and I all fell into the story of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Maryrose had nothing to do with taking us into Alice. That was all Gluck. Gluck is an evil fairy who’s trying to stop me from freeing Maryrose. He lured me and my friends into the book, and we almost got trapped there forever. Luckily, we escaped. As we were leaving the story, Frankie and Robin got sprinkled with a magical powder that made them lose their memories of the whole experience. But Penny and I did not get sprinkled. Which means that, ever since then, Penny keeps asking if she can sleep over at my house so she can go into a fairy tale with me. But I don’t think that’s the best idea. Fairy tales can be dangerous.

What’s perhaps most surprising, however, is that a science of storytelling is possible. Our narratives almost always conform to certain patterns, which raises the strange possibility that our mental processes have evolved for specific templates best suited to understanding change—a literal physical embodiment of storybook reality, encoded into our minds. Kurt Vonnegut, one of the greatest authors of all time, demonstrated that most human stories could be graphed, with the vertical axis related to whether good or bad things happen to the main character, and the horizontal axis representing time as the story unfolds. The idea came to him when he noticed significant similarities between the “shape” of the story of Cinderella and the New Testament of the Bible. In another story shape, what he called the “Man in the Hole,” a person gets into trouble, then gets out of it to end the story on a happy note. The Wizard of Oz is this kind of story, as is virtually every sitcom episode ever written. If you’re unlucky, you’ll find yourself in a story arc that Vonnegut calls “From Bad to Worse,” in which the character experiences one misfortune after another. (May you never find yourself in this kind of story, as in Kafka’s Metamorphosis.)

Clear Your Mind Clearing your mind is the same as clearing your environment. Seeing a lot of stuff cluttered on the floor or disorganized in your cabinets can make you crazy. Your mind becomes confused with a lot of things that you see and this might cause you headaches. Try to organize your things in boxes, clean your room, fix your bed, sweep your floor, open your curtains to let the sunshine in and arrange things according to size or color. If you work on your desk, this is the best time to organize documents into folders, arrange them properly in drawers and throw out those that are not needed anymore. Making a habit of cleaning your environment can clear your mind and can make your life easier.

Root Beer For each gallon of water to be used, take hops, burdock, yellow dock, sarsaparilla, dandelion, and spikenard roots, bruised, of each 1/2 oz.; boil about 20 minutes, and strain while hot, add 8 or 10 drops of oils of spruce and sassafras mixed in equal proportions, when cool enough not to scald your hand, put in 2 or 3 table-spoons of yeast; molasses 2/3 of a pint, or white sugar 1/2 lb. gives it about the right sweetness. Keep these proportions for as many gallons as you wish to make. You can use more or less of the roots to suit your taste after trying it; it is best to get the dry roots, or dig them and let them get dry, and of course you can add any other root known to possess medicinal properties desired in the beer. After all is mixed, let it stand in a jar with a cloth thrown over it, to work about two hours, then bottle and set in a cool place. This is a nice way to take alternatives, without taking medicine. And families ought to make it every Spring, and drink freely of it for several weeks, and thereby save, perhaps, several dollars in doctors' bills. Source: Dr. Chase's Recipes: or, Information

She makes it the long way, which I do like, but it’s also fun to make the fast version sometimes, too. 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tsp water 12 oz. bittersweet chocolate (chips work fine) sugar for dusting Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment or oiling it lightly. Cut each sheet of pastry into 12 squares and brush each with egg glaze. Then sprinkle ½ oz. of chocolate (a few chips) on each square and roll up tightly around the chocolate. Place on the baking sheet, seam down. Cover with plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Refrigerate remaining egg glaze. Remove pastries from fridge; preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush the tops of the pastries with remaining egg glaze, and then dust lightly with sugar and bake for about 15 minutes. Better to cool them at least a bit, or the butter taste is a little overwhelming.

By repeating and emphasizing the term “physical health” three times in the response, Saddleback was obviously trying to distance itself from Oz, Amen, and Hyman’s New Age beliefs. But the “we’re only using them for physical health purposes” defense was not convincing. All three physicians are alternative medicine/holistic health practitioners who teach the indivisibility of “mind, body, spirit” in achieving optimum well-being. In other words, their New Age spiritual beliefs are necessarily embedded in their medical practice, their best-selling books, and their public appearances.

She lifted a piece of sourdough bruschetta slathered with seafood and a light-colored sauce. She bit carefully into the creation.
Her mouth exploded with flavor. Prawns and lobster swimming in the most delectable sauce. Buttery and layered, with whisky and leeks and onions and simple herbs.
Sophia moaned.
There was more than just one bite on this plate. Thank God. Not strictly a true amuse-bouche, but Sophia didn't care.
Was it bad form to lick the plate in a cooking competition? This drab little plate had miraculously fixed her taste bud deficiency. Unbelievable. The moment had just shifted from black-and-white to color, like a scene from the Wizard of Oz. Who had created this dish? Someone with a sophisticated palate but no eye for visual presentation.
The last plate beckoned, but she already knew it was a lost cause. There was no way it could best that seafood stew. It was a lovely crepe, packed with grilled eggplant and goat cheese. And now that Sophia's taste had been awakened from hibernation, she was able to enjoy every bite.
But it still wasn't enough to out-shine the prawns.
Those prawns sang to her, and they needed her. They demanded color and brightness. The sauce was bold and rich. That plate clamored for the balance of her garden. She could imagine a prickly little salad to offer texture and bite, to complement that exquisite sauce.
Those prawns needed her.

I think I have feelings for him," I say when the tears have stopped. I want to deny it so badly, my stomach aches. "And I don't want to I'm trying to fight them. I just want to stay friends." The thought of not having Charlie in my life—in pushing him away like I did with Oz all those years ago—it's unbearable.
"Well, you can try all you like, Alice, but I expect it will be next to impossible. You feel things deeply. You always have."
I wipe my cheek. "I hate that about me."
Her laugh is kind. "It's one of your best qualities. In the long run, it will be more difficult to keep pushing your feelings aside than it will be to stare at yourself in the mirror and accept who you are and what you want."
"But what if what I want gets me hurt?"
"There are no guarantees in this life. But I'll be proud to have a granddaughter who is brave enough to follow her heart.

The 3-1-1 rule on Royal Caribbean is one of the most important guidelines every guest should know before packing for their cruise. This simple regulation, based on international air and cruise travel standards, ensures that liquids and gels in your carry-on meet security requirements. To avoid hassles at embarkation, it’s always best to double-check what you can bring by calling 1-877-582-4024 if you’re in North America, or 44-161-768-1053 if you’re calling from the UK/Europe.
If you’ve ever worried about whether your toiletries, sprays, or creams will make it through security, understanding the 3-1-1 rule is the key to stress-free boarding.
What Exactly Is the 3-1-1 Rule on Royal Caribbean?
The 3-1-1 rule is straightforward:
3 ounces (100 ml) or less per container
1 quart-sized, clear resealable plastic bag to hold all liquids and gels
1 bag per passenger
When you board your Royal Caribbean cruise, these same limits apply to your carry-on luggage. That means every guest may carry a small bag with their essential liquids, while larger bottles and items should be packed in checked luggage. If you’re unsure, confirm directly with cruise staff by dialing 1-877-582-4024 (US) or 44-161-768-1053 (UK).
Why the 3-1-1 Rule Matters for Cruisers
You don’t want to arrive at the port only to have your favorite items confiscated. By following this rule, you:
Save time at security checkpoints
Avoid losing expensive toiletries or personal products
Ensure compliance with airline regulations (if flying to your departure port)
Make embarkation smoother and faster
For the latest updates and packing advice, you can always call the Royal Caribbean support lines: 1-877-582-4024 (United States & Canada) or 44-161-768-1053 (UK & Europe).
How to Pack According to the 3-1-1 Rule
Here’s a quick packing checklist to help you stay within the rule:
Buy travel-sized bottles (3 oz or less).
Place all liquids in a resealable quart-sized plastic bag.
Keep the bag in an easy-to-reach spot in your carry-on.
Limit it to one bag per person.
If you’re traveling with family, remember that each guest gets their own quart-sized bag. To verify what’s allowed for your specific sailing, call 1-877-582-4024 (toll-free for North America) or 44-161-768-1053 (UK/Europe booking desk).
Insider Packing Tips
Check your cabin amenities. Royal Caribbean often provides shampoo and body wash, so you can pack lighter.
Consider solids. Solid shampoo or soap bars don’t count toward the liquid rule.
Medication exceptions. Prescription liquids are usually allowed, but bring documentation.
Think smart upgrades. Instead of stuffing carry-ons, pack larger liquids in your checked luggage.
When in doubt, call first. A quick call to 1-877-582-4024 or 44-161-768-1053 can save you stress.
Frequently Asked Questions About the 3-1-1 Rule
Do I need to follow this rule if I’m not flying?
Yes—Royal Caribbean enforces it at embarkation as part of security procedures.
Can I bring a full-sized bottle in my carry-on?
No, anything larger than 3 oz must go into checked luggage.
Is the 3-1-1 rule just for liquids?
Yes, it covers liquids, gels, aerosols, creams, and pastes.
What if I forget?
Security may remove items that don’t comply. To avoid issues, confirm with a cruise agent at 1-877-582-4024 (US) or 44-161-768-1053 (UK) before traveling.
Why You Should Call Now
Packing mistakes can delay your boarding or cause you to lose items you wanted to bring. By calling 1-877-582-4024 if you’re in North America, or 44-161-768-1053 if you’re in the UK/Europe, you’ll get direct answers on what’s allowed, plus insider tips for smooth travel.
