Bill Vaughn once states ‘Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to” and “An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves”, an unknown author quotes some harsh truths about New Year in the line “Many people look forward to the new year for a new start on old habits.”
As on this day a New Year is born, Charles Lamb quotes “New Year's Day is every man's birthday” and John Seldon says “Never tell your resolution beforehand, or it's twice as onerous a duty”. Other such popular New Year quotes include:
“Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us”

“Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.”
Quoted by Oprah Winfrey
“Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.”
Quoted by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 1850
The most appealing
“Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past.”
Quoted by Henry Ward Beecher

· 1 cup confectioners' sugar
· 3 cups all-purpose flour
· 1 cup butter
· 1 egg, beaten
· 1 dash vanilla extract
·
· 2/3 cup white sugar
· 1 1/2 cups water
· 9 eggs, beaten
· 1 dash vanilla extract
· 1 cup evaporated milk
Directions
1. In a medium bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar and flour. Mix in butter with a fork until it is in small crumbs. Stir in the egg and vanilla until the mixture forms a dough. The texture should be slightly moist. Add more butter if it is too dry, or more flour, if the dough seems greasy. Shape dough into 1 1/2 inch balls, and press the balls into tart molds so that it covers the bottom, and goes up higher than the sides. Use 2 fingers to shape the edge into an A shape.
2. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Combine the white sugar and water in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil. Cook until the sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Strain the eggs through a sieve, and whisk into the sugar mixture. Stir in the evaporated milk and vanilla. Strain the filling through a sieve, and fill the tart shells.
3. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown, and the filling is puffed up a little bit.

Whole milk will work as a substitute for evaporated milk.

我的青春我的主宰,走错了路也不要责怪自己,因为都是自己选择的路。当容颜尽老,一无所事的时候,想起当初为什么不好好学习。宁愿笑着流眼泪,也不哭这说后悔,自己的路跪这也要把它走玩。就要看你有毅力没?你战胜不了自己,就是失败者。惟有战胜自己的人才是成功者。有很多条铺向罗马的路,就要看你怎么选择。世上一开始没有路,走多了便成了路。青春的字典无“困难”之字,青春的开头无“障碍”之语。相信自己我能行。认我们有有限的青春去做无限的奋斗吧!只要你付出就会有收获,无付出,有收获吗?我们的青春是美妙的,无所视事的对待青春就是犯罪的。若你的青春朝气消失,你的人生就没有了意义,那你又何必来的哦啊这个充满生机的世界呢?不要放弃,坚持到底,战胜使你头疼的恶魔,你就战胜了你自己,你就会获得成功。
看到这篇文章的读者,去思想你的未来,你对得起你自己吗?不要在意别人说什么什么。笑笑没什么大不了,相信明天或更好。世界因你们而更精彩。加油!!!!

Crying, tired, do not know how to reconcile the minds of their own has always been difficult, if my soul want to say it out, but I do not know who to tell, only meditation and drink their own, perhaps drunk, crying, tired of crying when "Time" is my most comfortable when no one knew how you would like to, no one knows the pain in your heart, no one to take the pain in your heart,
Sometimes, I tell myself, to understand the hearts of their own and do not want you, but I can not do, time is the best medicine, but for such a long period of time, the heart still can not forget you, I do not know why I would have thought this way, sometimes I really want to clear their own considerations, to other cities, but I fear, I fear, I'm afraid of loneliness, fear of loneliness,
I know I should not bother you, I will not bother you, you do not belong to me, I do not adhere to, although I feel uncomfortable, like you, I know you will not bother me do not fall apart,
Perhaps only to forget myself, to make themselves happier, more well-being. . . . . . . .

Learn to be More "Spontaneous" not to Be "Desperate"~
The most beautiful thing you can experience is the mysterious," as said by Albert Einstein. Now while I'm not Albert Einstein's biggest fan, the quote above is something that both he and I agree on.
The mysterious is beautiful. The unknown, unplanned, and spontaneous are beautiful. It is beautiful in that you can not control every detail of what will happen. You must simply go along with it. This produces a childlike wonder within us that is extraordinary.
Have you ever noticed how children are willing to try anything at a moments notice? The child within you wants to be spontaneous and adventurous. Sadly, spontaneity is one of the easiest things to kill within ourselves.
Daily routine takes over spontaneity. It begins to make a quiet exit, day by day without any notice. Before you know it you are rejecting anything that is unfamiliar, out of the ordinary, and mysterious.
Perhaps you are constantly reminding yourself to be careful or always trying to be prepared. There is nothing wrong with a little preparation, but if you are always planning out everything in your life, and obsessed with orderliness you have forgotten how to be spontaneous.
As Albert Einstein said, "The most beautiful thing you can experience is the mysterious" So go ahead be spontaneous.

Halloween (also spelled Hallowe'en)[1]is an annual festival celebrated on October 31. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints, but is today largely a secular celebration.
Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, carving "jack-o'-lanterns", ghost tours, bonfires, visiting haunted attractions, pranks, telling scary stories, and watchinghorror films.

History
The festival of Samhain celebrates the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darker half", and is sometimes regarded as the "Celtic New Year".
The celebration has some elements of a "festival of the dead". The ancient Celts believed that the border between this world and the Otherworld became thin on Samhain, allowing spirits (both harmless and harmful) to pass through. The family's ancestors were honoured and invited home whilst harmful spirits were warded off. It is believed that the need to ward off harmful spirits led to the wearing of costumes and masks.
Their purpose was to disguise oneself as a harmful spirit and thus avoid harm. In Scotland the spirits were impersonated by young men dressed in white with masked, veiled or blackened faces.
Samhain was also a time to take stock of food supplies and slaughter livestock for winter stores. "Bonfires" played a large part in the festivities. All other fires were doused and each home lit their hearth from the bonfire. The bones of slaughtered livestock were cast into its flames.
Another common practise was "divination", which often involved the use of food and drink.
The name 'Halloween' and some of its present-day traditions derive from the Anglo-Saxon and Medieval eras in Britain.
Well "halloween" is also a manifestation of modern "antichrist"~There are many more celebration and events held throughout Europe... As the believer of Christ i would reject that kind of "superstitions" celebration, but to the non-believer or those hiddens would just make it a fun celebration.....
Undoubtly i can say that the celebration of Halloween is just a trepidation bounce that oppress someone's spirit and make fear that the existence of the evil spirit are everywhere. At the above just some brief information about Halloween, try to cut it short.....Just don't know why i want to show out my point of prospect, but sometimes it just stir's my interest in what I seldom touch on ~

Salam sejahtera diucapkan kepada, Yang dihormati Tuan Pengerusi Majlis, panel hakim yang arif lagi bijaksana, guru-guru dan rakan-rakan yang dihormati. Pada hari yang mulia ini, saya, ingin menyampaikan sebuah syarahan yang bertajuk "Teknik menulis karangan bertahap A1". (Teknik memulakan syarahan berpiawai ISO 9003. Hafalkan teknik ini)
Tuan-tuan dan puan-puan (teknik berinteraksi dengan tuan-tuan dan puan-puan)
Saya masih ingat bahawa tidak lebih daripada 4 tahun dahulu, saya tidak mempunyai sebarang masalah menulis karangan beribu-ribu perkataan panjang (ini dipanggil teknik hiperbola). Sekarang, setiap ayat yang ditulis oleh saya merupakan satu kesakitan di kawasan punggungku (ini dipanggil teknik penterjemahaan kasar). Soalannya, bagaimanakah tahap penguasaan bahasa Melayu saya boleh merosot dengan begitu mendadak dalam tempoh 4 tahun sahaja? (Ini dipanggil teknik menanyakan soalan dalam karangan. Teknik ini amat digalakkan oleh guru-guru bahasa Melayu kerana kebolehan seseorang penulis karangan berkorelasi langsung dengan bilangan soalan yang berjaya ditanyakan olehnya dalam rencana tersebut. Fakta ini disokong oleh kajian yang dijalankan oleh Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka yang menunjukkan bahawa 98% karangan yang bermutu tinggi mempunyai 87% lebih banyak soalan berbanding dengan karangan bermutu rendah. Teknik baru in pula dipanggil teknik menyelit statistik dalam karangan. Kebenaran statistik tersebut adalah tidak penting)
Adolf Hitler pernah berkata: "Ich mag Tiergeschlecht!" (Teknik menggunakan bahasa asing dan mamaparkan nasihat tokoh sejarah digabungkan untuk membentuk teknik memaparkan nasihat tokoh sejarah dalam bahasa asing. Teknik ini merupakan teknik bertahap dua yang hanya sesuai digunakkan oleh penulis yang mempunyai pengalaman menulis rencana sampah tidak kurang daripada 5 tahun dan tidak melebihi 75 tahun, sebagaimana diarahkan oleh Seksyen 300(c), Akta Rencana Sampah (1957)). Kita patut menyahut seruan tokoh gagah tersebut untuk memajukan bangsa kita dari segi fizikal dan rohani demi kesejahteraan seluruh dunia (Teknik menulis ayat bermakna kosong yang sedap dibaca)
Bak kata pepatah Hong Kong, "Emak kamu begitu gemuk, apabila dia lompat kegembiraan, dia tersangkut pula". Di sini, teknik memasukkan peribahasa dan lain-lain perkataan hikmat telah disuntik dengan budaya luar negara untuk menunjukkan keberkesanan kesan globalisasi (Satu lagi contoh teknik ayat yang sememangnya tidak masuk akal tetapi sedap didengar)
Kesimpulannya (ini bermaksud karangan telah sampai ke kesimpulan), Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim. Sallal laahu alaihi wasallam. Allahuakbar! (Teknik menyamar sebagai seorang orang Melayu. Ini merupakan teknik sulit yang menjaminkan A1 dalam sebarang peperiksaan awam di Malaysia)
Sekian, terima kasih.

The Poodle is a breed of dog, and is regarded as one of the mostintelligent breeds of dog.[1] The poodle breed is found in small, medium, and large sizes, and in many coat colors. Originally bred as a type of water dog, the poodle is skillful in many dog sports, including agility, obedience, tracking, and even herding. Poodles are elegant in the conformation ring, having taken top honors in many shows, including Best in Show (BIS) at the Westminster Kennel Club show in 2002 and BIS at the World Dog Show in 2007.
Poodles are retrievers or gun dogs, and can still be seen in that role. The breed's English name has German origins.[2] (The name poodle comes from the German word short for pudelhund or, reflecting the breed's development from a water dog; the word pudel is related to the English word puddle.) However, most sources concur that the French are responsible for developing the modern breed into its current form, and developing the different sizes. The French name for the poodle iscaniche, referring to ducks and the poodle's water dog origins.
Most poodles have a dense, curly, low-shedding coat that requires regular grooming. Since poodles do not have the plush double coat of many breeds, their fur is often referred to as "hair", a term usually reserved for humans.[note 1] Most poodles are solid-colored, and many registries only allow solid colors in conformation shows. "Parti" (short for parti-colored) poodles have large patches of colors different from the main body color. "Phantom" poodles have the color pattern of a black-and-tan dog, although not necessarily black and tan. Solid-colored poodles may either "hold" their color (i.e., stay more or less the same throughout their lives) or "fade" or "clear" to a lighter shade. Usually the ears and the thicker guard hairs hold more of the original color than other hair.
The tail is usually docked in the US, less often in Europe, and tail docking is now illegal in the UK[3] and Australia[4]. These days, tails, when docked, are left much longer than in times past. "Bunny like tails" (very short-docked tails) are now rarely seen except amongpuppy mill pet shop dogs. Poodles have drop ears, which are never cropped.
[edit]Poodle sizes
Unlike many breeds, poodles come in a variety of sizes, distinguished by adult shoulder (withers) height. The exact height cutoffs among the varieties vary slightly from country to country. Non-Fédération Cynologique Internationale kennel clubs generally recognize three sizes, standard, miniature, and toy, sometimes as sizes of the same breed, and sometimes as separate breeds. The Fédération Cynologique Internationale recognizes four sizes of one breed, standard, medium, miniature, and toy.[5] Only the Fédération Cynologique Internationale describes a maximum size for standard poodles.
The terms royal standard, teacup, and tiny teacup are marketing names, and are not recognized by any major kennel club.
