“A princess does not chortle, doesn't stuff her gob, rises early, is compassionate, patient, cautious, clean, and above all, a princess strives for, well, perfection.” “A princess must be knowledgeable about her kingdom.” You must be understood from anywhere in the room, or it's all for naught!” “Some say that will o' the wisps lead you to your fate.” You only have to be brave enough to see it.” Queen Elinor “There are those who say fate is something beyond our command. And I know now that I need to amend my mistake, and mend our bond.” It was an alliance forged in bravery and friendship, and it lives to this day.” My dad rallied your forces and you made him your king. “The story of this kingdom is a powerful one. “I didn’t ask her to change you into a bear, I just wanted her to change you.” “You’re a witch! That’s why the wisps led me here!” “This whole marriage is what you want! Do you ever bother to ask what I want?” “I am Merida, first-born descendant of Clan DunBroch, and I’ll be shooting for my own hand.” We’ll expect your declarations of war in the morning!’” In fact, she might not ever be ready for this! So, that’s that, good day to you. “You’re the queen, you can just tell the lords, ‘The princess is not ready for this. “I suppose a princess just does what she’s told!” I’ve got duties, responsibilities, expectations. Some never find it, but there are some who are led.” It’s the one thing we search for, or fight to change. Others say fate is woven together like a cloth, so that one’s destiny intertwines with many others. Once they’re cut, let the pastries proof for 20 minutes before covering with egg wash and adding a sliced almond to each toe.“Some say our destiny is tied to the land, as much a part of us as we are of it. If you want to make cub claws, cut the 5-inch pieces in half and then make two slits. Then, just cut each strip into 5-inch pieces and make 3 slits to create the bear toes. To make the claw shape, roll the strips lengthwise and flatten gently with a rolling pin. Once the dough is ready to be shaped, simply cut into four strips and spread the filling down the center. I recommend using an electric beater as the almond paste is a bit hard to beat by hand and you want a nice smooth filling to spread out. To make the filling, combine the almond paste, cinnamon, sugar, and egg and beat until smooth. Traditionally, bear claws are filled with almond paste but I like mine with a touch of cinnamon. If you don’t have a food processor, you can also use two knifes and physically cut the butter in the flour until it’s in tiny pieces or you can use a pastry cutter. I don’t usually use a food processor to do this, but it did go a lot faster. To make the dough, I used a food processor to cut the butter into the flour. While it is possible to make them in one day, breaking up meant there was less waiting around for the dough to chill and proof. The first day, I made the dough and then refrigerated it overnight so on the second day, I only had shape and bake them. The flaky pastry, almond filling with a touch of cinnamon, and sweet icing make them perfect for breakfast, afternoon snack, or dessert. And so, to celebrate Queen Elinor (both in human and bear form) and all of the strong, supportive, loving, and protective moms, I’m excited to share these delicious bear claws!īear claws have been one of my family’s favorite pastries for as along as I can remember. Thinking about Merida and Elinor’s relationship reminded me how grateful I am for my mom and how strong, supportive, and loving she is, even when we may disagree on something. While it does take a turn for the dramatic when Elinor becomes a bear, I think the overarching theme is very relatable, whether it’s a child struggling to be understood by their parent or a parent struggling to connect to their child. It was refreshing to see a “princess” movie that veered away from a romantic plot and instead showed a story about the connection between a mother and daughter. I also loved the focus on Merida’s relationship with her mom Queen Elinor. I first saw Brave at a point in my life where I was creating a life for myself in college but also relying on my parents and so Merida’s struggles to be strong and independent while still respecting her familial responsibilities really resonated with me. Mother’s Day is just around the corner! To celebrate, I’m excited to share these delicious bear claws inspired by the movie Brave.

“You can fly slowly, in control-the thrill of maneuvering through the sky,” says Bruce Weaver, who has taught hang gliding at Kitty Hawk Kites for more than 30 years. Foot launches are made off hills, dunes, mountains, and cliffs, but gliders are also towed aloft by airplanes, trucks, ATVs, and even scooters. Shifting the body left turns the glider left shifting right turns it right. Push out and the glider climbs and loses speed. Pulling in on the control bar causes the glider to dive and gain speed. The top half of the pilot’s body pokes through a triangular frame-two downtubes and the control bar. The wing is made of fabric and metal tubes and reinforced by external bracing and internal spars and ribs called battens. The pilot lays prone, suspended in a harness at the center of gravity beneath (usually) a swept wing. The fundamental design of the hang glider has remained fairly constant since it came together in the 1960s. It’s just a big kite, and you’re attached to it, and you can go pretty much wherever you want.”ĭuring the 2017 Tennessee Tree Toppers’ hang gliding competition, Steve Pearson launches a Wills Wing T2C at Henson Gap, Tennessee. “If you ever flew a kite and wished you could be flying up there with the kite- flying free, flying away,” she says, “that’s basically what it is. Hang glider pilot Erika Klein, communications manager for the United States Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association (USHPA), explains why the sport caught on. When the film was made, hang gliding was emerging from its infancy and about to experience a popularity boom.īuilding on a tradition of homemade gliders starting with Otto Lilienthal, Octave Chanute, and the Wright brothers, flying enthusiasts in the 1960s and ’70s fulfilled the dream of accessible, inexpensive, birdlike flight for humans. He soars between mountain peaks, then climbs, stalls, dives, and swoops high above the water. In the scene, pilot Bob Wills hangs below the wing, shifting his body to exert control over the impossibly simple craft. It has been playing for more than 40 years, and for many, it’s their first encounter with hang gliding. This is the first shot of the hang gliding scene from To Fly!, the iconic IMAX film made for the opening of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in 1976. The image on the giant screen is mesmerizing: Above massive volcanic islands reaching up from the ocean floats a tiny triangular form. “We first flew in dreams, but the dream of flight has become real,” the narrator says.

Now if I then leave Torch as my default torrent manager the whole shebang is under the VPN to anonymise the activity. I installed the Browsec onto Torch and it works fine. I am now sussing things out more from the things I picked up. However on using Torch to download a torrent from the likes of ade they open in my qBittorrent so effectively leaving torch out of the loop. I also have Torch which is the cause of the problem anyway. firefox set it under applications and forget it.Īh, Opera and Chrome are what I use. only opera and chrome have this behavior. Now if you completely delete your torrent programme, settings and all then reinstall it, it sets itself as the default torrent programme. Now when clicking on a torrent link it asks if you wish to opoen it with qBittorrent ( in my case) or probably whatever you put in the previous registry setting for you own default. Go to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RegisteredApplications and delete Torch. It only gives a yes or no option so you're stuck with Torch.īUT I now have found a registry setting to delete.

I love Opera for doing many things but Torch is great for just downloading most anything from websites without any faffing around. I guess that the registry controls what opens with what so it'll be the default for any browser/torrent handler. In my case it's "C\Program Files\qBittorrent.exe" "%1"ĭoes that work for all browsers? be nice not to have to click when i click a magnet link.
