Jason Russell, the filmmaker behind the KONY 2012 Invisible Children viral video, was detained by San Diego police for allegedly being drunk and lewd in public.
Russell, 33, was found wearing only his underwear and was masturbating and vandalizing cars Thursday morning, police Lt. Andra Brown tells NBC7 in San Diego.
Russell"s video, which has been embraced by a number of celebrities, targets Joseph Kony, the leader of a Ugandan rebel army accused of abducting more than 30,000 children over the past 26 years and forcing them into slavery or sex.
Ben Keesey, CEO of Invisible Children, says in a statement that Russell was "unfortunately hospitalized yesterday suffering from exhaustion, dehydration, and malnutrition."
"He is now receiving medical care and is focused on getting better," says Keesey. "The past two weeks have taken a severe emotional toll on all of us, Jason especially, and that toll manifested itself in an unfortunate incident yesterday.
"Jason"s passion and his work have done so much to help so many," the statement continues, "and we are devastated to see him dealing with this personal health issue. We will always love and support Jason, and we ask that you give his entire family privacy during this difficult time."

Tell Harry to approach this subject with an open mind.

She's an idiot. Who cares?
Never watched her. Don't expect to start. Why watch a brainless bimbo spout the company line 'news'?

In an effort to change things up a bit I'm wishing Butterbain Happy Birthday 2 weeks after the fact.
I'm fully aware at this stage in the game that I don't have any babies left. He made that perfectly clear on his birthday, when he told me he looked "just like the outlaw Josey Wales" in this cowboy outfit. I've never doubted his originality, but that comment sealed it. I'm fairly certain there aren't a lot of 4 year old's who have even heard of Clint Eastwood, much less known any of his characters so well they could "be" them. And yes, I know Clint Eastwood films are not a number one pick for young children. It's just what happens when you're the youngest of 4 boys.
Whether he's an outlaw or not - I know this year will be a turning point. Four is real big boy territory. Four is when you stop getting in bed with Mamma and Daddy in the middle of the night - at least that's historically the case in our family. Four is when you learn to buckle yourself into your own booster seat, and go to the bathroom alone. (No more, "MOM, I'm DONE!") Four means getting dressed to the shoes all by yourself and going to the barn alone. There are a lot of other milestones that will be crossed this year, but as the youngest he'll still have more leeway than the rest of them. He can still convince me to read the book one more time in an effort to stay up a bit later. He'll be able to give me his little smirk and escape unscathed from peccadillos, and he'll con a lot out of me because of his whole-hearted hugs.
There's a lotta up-side to being the youngest of 4 boys.
Happy Birthday Butterbain, I'm sure this year will be your greatest yet!

Fibroblasts often constitute the majority of the stromal cells within a breast carcinoma, yet the functional contributions of these cells to tumorigenesis are poorly understood. Using a coimplantation tumor xenograft model, we demonstrate that carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) extracted from human breast carcinomas promote the growth of admixed breast carcinoma cells significantly more than do normal mammary fibroblasts derived from the same patients. The CAFs, which exhibit the traits of myofibroblasts, play a central role in promoting the growth of tumor cells through their ability to secrete stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1); CAFs promote angiogenesis by recruiting endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) into carcinomas, an effect mediated in part by SDF-1. CAF-secreted SDF-1 also stimulates tumor growth directly, acting through the cognate receptor, CXCR4, which is expressed by carcinoma cells. Our findings indicate that fibroblasts within invasive breast carcinomas contribute to tumor promotion in large part through the secretion of SDF-1.

The Family Lifestyle in Thai Society
April 14 each year is observed as Family Day in Thailand. The observance has been part of the Songkran period since 1991. As Songkran Festival brings family members for reunions, the Thai government in 1990 decided to designate April 14 Family Day. The designation is meant to underline the importance of the family institution.
Thai society is well known for its deeply rooted family values and Thailand is among the first countries in the world to celebrate Family Day. Older persons can play a key role in taking care of young people in the family. They have more experience and may constitute the wealth of knowledge and experience from which younger generations can learn and benefit.
To gain in-depth knowledge about Thai society, we need to focus on the basic unit, the village, and therein the family lifestyle, especially in a rural setting, which is the place where most Thais live. Generally, it is the type of extended family, consisting of several generations living in one household, or perhaps under several roofs within the same compound. The house is usually a simple, wooden structures raised on posts. Various species of livestock, such as buffaloes, pigs, dogs, and chickens are kept beneath the house, and the family members live above, often in a single room, though larger structures may consist of a platform in front of two or more rooms. The father is regarded as the leader, and the mother play a significant role in household activities, particularly in the kitchen, and gives instructions to their children.
When children are born, they will be recorded in the household register. The Ministry of Interior will issue them a "smart card" or identity card to attest that they are eligible to be Thai citizens. They become aware of their position in the family hierarchy and learn the Thai lifestyle from their parents and elder relatives. A sense of responsibility is also inculcated in early childhood. Each child is assigned certain duties according to his or her age and ability, while parents are working in the fields.
As children grow older, their responsibilities increase, and they are allowed to join in discussions on family matters. One of the prime responsibilities placed on children is that of taking care of parents and relatives in their old age.
Thailand is faced with many challenges in the present world. For example, a typical Thai family now comprises parents and no more than two children, a "nuclear family," unlike in the past, when an extended family was the norm. Family ties in the city are not as pervasive as in the village, and young married couples often set up housekeeping on their own.
The family is one of the smallest units in society, but it is a powerful force that can create human beings of good quality. It plays a significant role in instilling ethical conduct, social values, lifestyles, and ways of thinking into young people. In underlining the importance of the family institution, the Government has launched a campaign to turn the family into a sanctuary of love, warmth, and care.

This month, 90.3 broadcasted a series of conversations with candidates for Ohio's Supreme Court. This quiet but powerful pod of judges isn't well known to the average person, but their is arguably second only the governor's in affecting Ohioans lives. In recent years, elections for Ohio Supreme Court have become more exciting, with campaign contributions skyrocketting. Now you can listen to what the candidates had to say about hot topics likely to reach the court's docket, their backgrounds, and judicial philosophies. Aired September 12-19, 2002.
Republican contender Maureen O'Connor has filled a variety of positions in justice and government, including magistrate, judge, and Summit County preosecutor. She now wears two hats, as Ohio's Lieutenant Governor, and as head of the Ohio Department of Public Safety - a department 4,000 strong. She has not been on the bench since 1994, but tells ideastream's April Baer her adminsitrative experience gives her a unique perspective on the demands of the bench. [Listen]
Judge Tim Black is a Democrat running a second time for a seat on the Ohio Supreme Court. Two years ago, he lost a close race to incumbent Deborah Cook. This time, he's running against Maureen O'Connor, from whom we heard yesterday. He's been a judge of the Hamilton county municipal court since 1993. He spoke with ideastream's April Baer about his campaign Friday, September 13th. [Listen]
Justice Stratton's opponent is Cuyahoga County's Judge Janet Burnside, from the Court of Common Pleas. She's spent time much of her career in northeast Ohio, but also has roots in the southern parts of the state. While issues like tort reform and school funding have inspired intensive interest in the race, Judge Burnside says she's trying not to worry about that. Instead, she wants voters to know about her record and personal history. [Listen]

According to Sony supremo Shuhei Yoshida gamers who don't like indie's are an enigma.
If you have been following the fortunes of Sony Computer Entertainment in recent years then it should come as no surprise to you that the main staple of PlayStyation 4's diet is to be an incredible 80% of indie titles.
Now, if we are to believe anything that Shuhei Yoshida says regarding the subject matter of indie games, and let's face it for the past three years has any Sony press conference gone three minutes without mentioning them?, then consumers should be sporting smiles a mile wide right at the moment thanks to the massive influx of indie titles currently flooding the PlayStation Network.
Don't misunderstand us here, Microsoft are also promoting the said same list of indie games, the main differences are that they are not doing so whilst claiming them to be exclusive, as Sony continually allude to in their spin doctoring press releases, and specifically Microsoft are not using indie game to lead the way as the Xbox One's flagship events in the latest generation.
Yoshida has gone on record already this year to state that Sony gamers should expect to see less and less AAA titles and that they should expect to see more of the kind of budget titles that SCE Chief Whip Adam Boyes splashes all over whichever T-Shirt he is fashioning across his magnificent moobs.
So, with Sony announcing this week that they have shipped, not sold, 9 million units we ask how long will it be for Yoshida and his cronies before the bubble bursts and gamers see through their tissue of lies?
Surely PlayStation gamers won't just be happy with playing Uncharted and Killzone cash-cows year in and year out, as Sony ply them with wobbly indie titles in the intervening months between the Bovine Brigade launches like some kind of leering bar fly slipping some Rohypnol into an unsuspecting girls Martini?
Or are they?
According to Yoshida Sony PlayStation owners should 'grateful' that they are being 'treated' to so many rehashed titles and side-scrolling walks down memory lane. But, if you, like us, cannot see the joy in spending £400 on a next generation console only to see your list of coming titles look like the Top 50 from the App Store then Yoshida says he doesn't understand you., and what's more he can't see why you aren't happy about the fact that Sony are ripping you off in a desperate bid to recoup their massive 10 billion losses.
But don't take our word for it, here's the main man himself on why you guys are dumber than a bag of hammers if all you want to play on your Ps4 are AAA titles:
"Almost every week you see an indie game coming out digitally on PS4. Some of them are really, really interesting, beautiful games," he said. "We're fortunate that they're creating games on PS4, and some of them are choosing to launch their console versions on PlayStation first."
"I do realise that some people are only interested in big-budget AAA games. I don't really understand those people. I don't know if they've tried some of the indie games and decided they're not interested. Maybe they haven't even tried," Yoshida continued. "That's a key question. With Resogun, which we offered for free for a long time on PS Plus, not every PS Plus member downloaded it, and that's a great, great game."
Quite what happened to Sony being the main innovator in videogames is anyone's guess, although in a whole different article I bet we could have a crack at it, but if this is what Sony are expecting to placate the reputed 9 million Ps4 owners for the next ten years then I think they are in for a rude awakening.
'Yes', games are expensive to develop, and 'yes' resources and time cost much moolah, but don't force feed gamers your tired excuses week in and week out because of your own failures as a company to turn a profit. And don't make us pay for it through the nose with shoddy services, even shoddier business practices and the shoddiest of titles.

that they are, and it wouldn't require the Patriot Act to do it. Its not unusual for the FBI to keep files on groups and individuals and considering ALA's over-the-top reactions and a number of its prominent members belonging to extreme political groups I'd say ALA has had a file for a while.

Various recipes for barbeque sauce including Chinese style barbeque sauce.
Barbeque sauce (also spelt as Barbecue) can be described and prepared in a number of ways depending on where you are in the world.
For some, it will be a mustard or vinegar-based thin sauce that is brushed onto meat, fish or poultry as it is being grilled or roasted.
For others it is a thick tomato-based sauce that is served with barbequed or grilled meat, accompanying the meat as a dip or condiment on the side.
There are those who make their barbeque sauce from a base of fruit, whilst other people buy their sauce in bottles from the local supermarket.
Most barbeque sauces are made from a tomato base, not necessarily fresh chopped tomatoes, but it can be from any form of tomato such as tomato ketchup, tomato paste or tomato juice.
Other essential ingredients are sugar; usually brown, which caramelises the sauce onto the meat, creating a unique flavour, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce.
If you want to experiment when preparing your homemade barbeque sauce, instead of sugar you could also use corn syrup, molasses or even honey.
A number of spices and seasonings are then added to create a barbeque sauce to suit the preferences and tastes of the chef and his guests. You may add chilli powder, garlic, pepper, dried mustard, onion, soy sauce, Tabasco sauce and the list goes on. You can make barbeque sauce from just about anything!
Your end result may also be a sweet and tangy sauce, a smoky grilled sauce or a hot and spicy sauce and the colour may range from bright yellow to deep brown.
If you are going to prepare a barbeque sauce to glaze your meat with as it cooks under the grill or especially on the barbeque, as higher temperatures are reached, it is recommended that you make a sauce that is not tomato-based. This is due to the fact that tomato-based sauces burn the surface of the meat and therefore spoil the flavour of both the meat and the sauce.
For a barbeque glaze it is best to prepare a mustard or vinegar-based sauce that will not burn during the cooking process. These types of sauces or glazes, as opposed to a fruit based sauce, can be applied to the meat during cooking time and the sauce will not burn. A fruit-based sauce however, must be added right at the end of the cooking time, so that the meat does not spoil.
To achieve a barbeque sauce that is rich, tasty and a wealth of exciting flavours, the sauce should be prepared in advance, to give the flavours time to blend together and create a distinctive taste.
Cooking time is also important, as the sauce should be allowed to simmer for as long as possible for the same reason. Although preparing the sauce may be a lengthy task, it is extremely simple and well worth it.
There are recipes for barbeque sauce that do not involve any cooking at all, which are useful if you need the sauce very quickly. The ingredients are simply blended together and the sauce is ready to serve.
You may use your sauce as you please, either to baste your meat, fish or poultry during cooking or by using it as a simple relish or condiment on the side of the plate or to top foods such as beef burgers, chicken wings or barbequed spare ribs.
Below is a selection of recipes for barbeque sauce, some using tomatoes, whilst others are a bit more daring.

½ cup of tomato ketchup
1/3 cup of brown sugar
1 tbsp of cider vinegar
2 tsp of soy sauce

Come Dance With Me
Jen - 13/12/2002
Well what can I say about the last review by Randy.. You obviously know nothing about dancing, are you sure you have done "come dance with me"?. Your review is ageist, sexist and not a true review of this lovely dance. From you review it would seem your selfish attitude would put you in the bracket of "Dancefloor show of" Maybe you should listen to people around you rather that immersing yourself in your own importance. Jen
Getcha Good

The Time Machine (タイムマシン) is a machine built by Future Bulma, the Bulma of Future Trunks' alternate timeline, that could be used to go to the future or to the past. The word "Hope!!" is written on the side of the machine, emphasizing that it was hope for their world.
Creation and concept
The Time Machine was equipped with airplane functions too. At first, the series author Akira Toriyama was thinking of adding in vehicle elements to the Time Machine, like a plane. But in the end, it was only ever used as a Time Machine.[7]
When traveling back in time, the Time Machine creates a new timeline that branches off from its original one at the moment in time where the Time Machine arrived. Thus it is not possible to "change" the past, in the sense that one's present will change. Any change done in the past will be reflected in a new timeline. However, when traveling back to the future, the Time Machine will go back to its original timeline, and not to the new timeline's future. If it is used to travel again back to the past to a point after a previous trip, the Time Machine will go to the newest timeline.
According to Future Trunks, the Time Machine uses up a lot of energy, so it can carry barely enough power for two trips in time. Thus, it is generally used to travel in time, and then to go back to the present. Recharging the machine takes a lot of time, too. It seems that the only way to recharge it is in Future Trunks' own time. Dragon Ball Z: Sagas, six Time Machine turbines have to be collected before Future Trunks can travel to the past. There is no ladder, so only people who can fly are able to ride it.[7] In the PSP game Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai - Another Road, Future Trunks says they have continued developing the Time Machine since his last time travel and they have made one that can carry multiple people.
Using a Time Machine is ultimately a violation of the laws of the universe, as revealed in the computer game Dragon Ball Online and the manga Jaco the Galactic Patrolman. It is explained in Dragon Ball Online that a deity called the Lord of Time watches over the flow of time from the cosmos and gave Trunks a stern warning for his actions, and it is mentioned in Jaco the Galactic Patrolman that the Galactic Patrol can punish this kind of crime.
Dragon Ball Z
Future Trunks uses the Time Machine to go to the past to warn the Z Fighters about the androids. Because of the way the machine works, Future Trunks' timeline did not change at all (see alternate timeline for more details). Future Trunks went back not to change his history, but to learn of any weaknesses the androids may have; that way, he could return to his time and manage to defeat the androids there. Future Trunks used the machine again to go back and help the Z Fighters when the androids made their appearance.
In one of the alternate timelines, after Future Trunks returns from his second trip to the past and his deactivation of Future Android 17 and Future Android 18, Cell killed him and stole the Time Machine. He did it in order to go back in time to absorb the androids in a moment in time where they still existed. This essentially creates four timelines; the fourth one, which is never seen, involves Future Trunks going back, but, instead of training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, he finds the blueprints to the Androids. Bulma later crafts a remote control that deactivates them and leaves them helpless, and Future Trunks takes that controller back to his time to destroy the androids. Since he did not train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Future Trunks was not strong enough to kill Cell, leading to Cell killing him and taking the Time Machine, thus creating the Cell Saga.
In order to fit inside the machine, Cell had to revert back into his egg form, in which he barely had time to press the button to send him back to the preset time. After arriving to his destination, Cell burns a hole in the hatch and abandons the stolen Time Machine, which is later photographed by a Capsule Corporation satellite. Bulma shows the photograph to Future Trunks who decides they should check it out. They find the Time Machine and Cell's shed Cocoon. Future Trunks realizes it is same as his Time Machine (as it has the word "Hope!!" written on its side). Future Trunks presses a button capsulizing it and likely took it back with him to his timeline to prevent anyone from misusing it (or reverse-engineering its technology).
In the game Dragon Ball Z: Goku's World, during the 10 days prior to the Cell Games, Future Trunks, Goku, Gohan, Krillin and Bulma uses the Time Machine to travel back in time from Goku and Krillin's training under Master Roshi to the group's first encounter with Cell.
In the movie Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon, Bulma creates a Time Machine for Tapion to allow him to return to Planet Konats in the past. It is nearly identical to the one Future Trunks used (its design was likely based on Future Trunks' Time Machine). According to the Japanese dialogue, Bulma tells Trunks he can use another Time Machine to visit Tapion any time he wants
Video games
The Time Machine appears in cutscenes of several video games. One is seen in the background of the Alternative Future battle stage in Dragon Ball Z 2: Super Battle. In Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3, in Dragon Universe, a Time Machine can be found and visited when playing as Goku after returning to Earth from Namek; Goku finds a Meta-Cooler at the site, and a battle ensues between the two. In Dragon Ball Z: Sagas, six Time Machine turbines have to be collected in the city before Future Trunks can travel to the past.
In the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 what-if scenario "Affectionate Android", Dr. Gero sends Android 16 back in time to kill a younger, weaker Goku.
In Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai - Another Road, Future Trunks saves a Time Machine that can carry multiple people from Future Dabura's attack on West City, and he uses it to travel back in time and bring the Z Fighters of the past in order to help him against Future Babidi and later Future Majin Buu. In the third promotional movie for Dragon Ball Heroes, the Saiyan Hero and the Saiyan Heroine use Time Machines to go back in time and attack Frieza's remaining soldiers while Super Saiyan Goku is fighting Frieza on Namek. Redesigned Time Machines appear in the computer game Dragon Ball Online, making them look similar to Frieza's spaceship. The game features Time Machine Missions where players travel back in time and take part in notable aspects of the Dragon Ball history. The game's main antagonist, Miira, also plans to use a Time Machine to go into the past and steal Goku's DNA.

Inspired Entertaining: DIY Chalkboard Wine Glasses - StumbleUpon. Last month I got an email from one of those "deal of the day" websites featuring a very cute set of wine glasses with chalkboard stems from a company called Chalkboard China.
I've seen chalkboard glasses before, and always thought them to be a fun and chic way for guests to keep track of their glass throughout the night so you don't end up with mixed-up glasses or dozens of half-full glasses left around the house. But all the ones I've seen in stores feature a strip of chalkboard paint across the bowl of the glass, which I've always felt looks awkward and takes away from the beauty of the wine or beverage in the glass.
What I like about this version is that the writing part is at the bottom on the stem and foot of the glass, so it doesn't compete with the beverage. I also like that the simple black foot on the glass is in itself an elegant design element, and would work just as well with no writing on it. Most Popular Repurposing Tricks of 2011 - StumbleUpon.

In Alaska, this idea solves a few problems for the author: We live near the glacier, so the soil is cold and has very little organic matter, there are lots of big trees shading it, and we have all the slugs and root maggots anyone could want, with porcupines, cats, bears and ravens meandering to boot.There is only one side of our house that gets much sunshine, and, of course, that side of the house has the smallest yard.

X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos has admitted that she would like to see Cheryl Cole return to the judging panel.
So far Gary Barlow and Louis Walsh are confirmed and it is thought that Tulisa will also be returning to the show.
During an interview with Free Radio's James Merritt, Tulisa said: "If I was a producer and I was picking judges for the show, I would probably go for different people than who I would like if I was on the show and wanted sitting next to me.
"I was a big fan of the show before I was on the panel, so I used to love watching Cheryl, so I would, yeah. I don't think that's going to happen though."
Meanwhile, Katy Perry has reportedly been lined up as a judge.
The singer appeared as a guest judge in the 2010 Dublin auditions and she was popular with viewers.
A source said: "Simon and the producers are really keen to get Katy, she was excellent last time.
"Advanced talks are taking place."
An X Factor spokesperson would not confirm or deny whether Katy was in the running for the job.

From Green Right Now Reports
We'd all like to have our cake, and eat it too. But while that's impossible, it may soon be true that we can eat our cake with fewer calories and have it taste as good.
The USDA's National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research in Peoria is developing cake mixes that zap fat and calories, but without stripping the dessert of its flavor and texture.
The key is a product called FANTESK – which a USDA news report describes as "microdroplets of trans-fat free cooking oil, encapsulated in corn starch or wheat flour". FANTESK was patented by the USDA in the mid 1990s and has been used as a coating for shrimp and as lubricants in medical applications. See more on it's history at this USDA webpage.
To foodies who just want the chemists to stay away from our fruits, vegetables and grains, it will all sound a little suspicious. But according to the research center in Peoria, low-fat cake mixes made with FANTESK don't need added oil and they still produce cakes that have volume and a pleasing texture.
Food technologist Mukti Singh and chemical engineer Jeffrey Byars are also creating frostings that have half the fat of regular buttercream icing, but still taste great – or so the USDA reports.
The USDA hopes that such a development would be helpful in fighting obesity. But FANTESK cakes have yet to be tested on the open market (which explains why we have a picture of a regular, and luscious, cake, above). And while the consumer market is clearly hungry for low-fat foods, the promise of getting a free junk food fix has, in the past, exceeded the delivered, chemically concocted product.
Remember Olestra – the fat substitute that raised hopes we could have Cheetoes without consequences? Turns out the downside – let's just call it gastrointestinal upset — was significant. Olestra lost its luster. So good luck USDA, but we'll have to wait for the evidence before we declare FANTESK fantastic.

Britishisms and the Britishisation of American English
There is little that irks British defenders of the English language more than Americanisms, which they see creeping insidiously into newspaper columns and everyday conversation. But bit by bit British English is invading America too.
"Spot on - it's just ludicrous!" snaps Geoffrey Nunberg, a linguist at the University of California at Berkeley.
"You are just impersonating an Englishman when you say spot on. Will do - I hear that from Americans. That should be put into quarantine," he adds.
And don't get him started on the chattering classes - its overtones of a distinctly British class system make him quiver.
But not everyone shares his revulsion at the drip, drip, drip of Britishisms - to use an American term - crossing the Atlantic.
Also overheard in the US...
- Do the washing up - British for "wash the dishes"
- Keen on/ keen to - a British way of saying "to like" or "be eager to"
- Barman - bartender
- Bit - as in "the best bit" of a film... Americans would usually say "part"
- To book (eg a hotel) - Americans would say "reserve"
- Called Joe - Americans say "named" Joe
- To move house - a British way of saying "to move"
"I enjoy seeing them," says Ben Yagoda, professor of English at the University of Delaware, and author of the forthcoming book, How to Not Write Bad.
"It's like a birdwatcher. If I find an American saying one, it makes my day."
Last year Yagoda set up a blog dedicated to spotting the use of British terms in American English.
So far he has found more than 150 - from cheeky to chat-up via sell-by date and the long game - an expression which appears to date back to 1856, and comes not from golf or chess, but the card game whist. President Barack Obama has used it in at least one speech.
Yagoda notices changes in pronunciation too - for example his students sometimes use "that sort of London glottal stop", dropping the T in words like "important" or "Manhattan".
Continue reading the main story
The Britishisms are coming |
Ginger (red hair) | |
The use of ginger in the US to describe red hair took off with publication of the first Harry Potter book in 1998, says Kory Stamper of Merriam-Webster. Unlike in the UK, there is no anti-ginger prejudice in the US, she says - Americans think of warm, comforting things like gingerbread. |
Sell-by date (expiration) |
Americans use "expiration date" for the British sell-by date - the date by which supermarket food must be sold. But sell-by date is increasingly used in the US in a figurative sense. Eg "That idea is well past its sell-by date." |
Go missing (disappear) |
This came to the fore in the US when intern Chandra Levy "disappeared", says Ben Yagoda. Go missing was widely used, he says, because it felt more nuanced. In his view, British terms can "really serve a purpose" when there is no exact equivalent in American English. |
Chat up (hit on) |
The use of chat up to refer to flirtatious conversation really began to take off in the 1990s, says Kory Stamper. Often you can't pinpoint why a word or phrase gets picked up, she says. Chat up is a good example of a Britishism that has "snuck in on cat's feet". |
Kory Stamper, associate editor for Merriam-Webster, whose dictionaries are used by many American publishers and news organisations, agrees that more and more British words are entering the American vocabulary.
Stamper is one of the powerful few who get to choose which words are included in the dictionary, as well as writing their definitions.
One new entrant into the Merriam-Webster dictionary in 2012 was gastropub (a gentrified pub serving good food), which was first used, according to Kory Stamper, in London's Evening Standard newspaper in 1996, and was first registered on American shores in 2000.
More from the Magazine
Why do Americanisms irritate people?
"The British pub is a very different critter from an American bar," she says, but bars with good beer and food are springing up in many cities in the US, and the British term is sometimes used to describe them.
Twee (excessively dainty or cute) is another "word of the moment", says Stamper, as is metrosexual (a well-groomed and fashion-conscious heterosexual man) which "took off like wildfire", after it was used in the American TV series Queer Eye. There was even a backlash against it - a sure sign, she says, that the word had "absolutely made its way into the American vernacular".
There has also been "a huge up-tick", says Stamper, in the use of ginger as a way of describing someone with red hair.
What about Canadian English?
- Canadians spell many words the British way -"colour", "neighbour" and "centre"
- British English was "enormously influential" from 1850-1950, largely due to a wave of immigration from Britain - an accent known as "Canadian dainty" came into being as upper middle class Canadians tried to sound British
- Canadians have tended to pronounce words like "tomato" and "leisure" the British rather than American way - as well as using words such as "tap" instead of "faucet" - but this is changing
- "When people put on a British accent [now], we consider it affected and funny - but it doesn't happen very frequently"
She sees this as clearly tied to the publication in the US of the first Harry Potter book. Dozens of words and phrases were changed for the American market, but ginger slipped through, as did snog (meaning "to kiss amorously") - though that has not proved so popular.
We are not seeing a radical change to the American language, says Jesse Sheidlower, American editor at large of the Oxford English Dictionary - rather a "very small, but noticeable" trend.
Bill Kretzschmar, professor of English at the University of Georgia, makes a similar point - that while the spike in use of some British terms may look dramatic, it is often because they are rising from a very low base. Most are used "very infrequently", he says.
And it is not so much the masses who use these terms, says Geoffrey Nunberg, as the educated elite. Journalists and other media types, like advertising agencies, are the worst offenders, in his view.
"The words trickle down rather than trickle up," he says.
"It sounds trendy - another borrowing we could use without - to use a British term. It just sounds kind of Transatlantic."
But the line between trendy and plain pretentious is a fine one, says Sheidlower.
Anyone who says bespoke - as Americans sometimes do when referring to a custom-made suit or a bicycle - is just "showing off".
Defining terms
- Briticism - Word or phrase characteristic of the English or Great Britain - first used in US in 1868
- Britishism - First used in US in 1853, for something "characteristic of British people" - only later applied to words
- Briticization or Britishisation - First reference is 1953 in Britain
- Britspeak - No specific entry in the dictionary at the moment, but "worth considering" says the OED's Jesse Sheidlower
Source: Oxford English Dictionary
But some British terms can be useful, says Sheidlower, and fill in a gap where there is no direct equivalent in American English - he cites one-off (something which is done, or made, or which happens only once) as an example.
To go missing is another useful term, says Ben Yagoda, as it is more nuanced, conveying a greater sense of uncertainty than the standard "to disappear". Its use climbed significantly in 2001, with the high-profile case of the missing intern Chandra Levy.
British TV shows like Top Gear, Dr Who, and Downton Abbey may be another reason more British words are slipping in, says Yagoda, as well as the popularity (and easy access via the internet) of British news sources, such as The Guardian, The Economist, The Daily Mail - and the BBC.
Yagoda also points to a number of British journalists who have risen to influential positions in the US, including Tina Brown - who has worked as editor of Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, The Daily Beast, and Newsweek - and Anna Wintour, editor in chief of American Vogue.
"English for everybody is becoming more international, every day that passes," says Bill Kretzschmar who is also editor in chief of the Linguistics Atlas Project, which tracks spoken English.
A self-confessed Anglophile
Language is part of our self-identity. It evokes strong emotions in the same way that other elements of self-identity do - such as politics or religion.
In my work Americanising British terms for young-adult literature, I tended to leave in any Britishism that I could get away with. If the context allowed the reader to understand, and if the word was in the Merriam-Webster dictionary, I generally left it in. I generally had no problem leaving in a word like peckish because we have no commonly used term that means exactly the same thing.
I love Britishisms, and I liked the idea of expanding young readers' vocabulary. But I would change a word like "chips" and "crisps" because Americans do use a different, specific word for these things.
The use of university, rather than college or school, for example, may well be used by Americans to make sure they are understood outside the country.
The same thing might be influencing a trend that Yagoda has spotted for Americans to use the day, month, year format for dates - 26/9/12 rather than 9/26/12.
There is not so much an "on and off switch" between versions of English, says Kretzschmar, but more of a continuum - with the same words in existence in different places, but just used at different frequencies.
Some words, often the more formal ones, were once common on both sides of the Atlantic, but dropped out of American English usage while remaining popular in Britain, says Yagoda - amongst (instead of among), trousers (instead of pants), and fortnight (two weeks) are examples.
And some words which Brits regard as typically American - including "candy", "the fall", and "diaper" - were originally British, but dropped out of usage in Britain between about 1850 and the early 1900s, says Kory Stamper.
"America has always welcomed words from all over," she says.
"If it doesn't look conspicuously foreign, I don't think anyone questions - it's just English at that point."
The word gormless (the best American equivalent is probably "clueless") is on the rise in the US, for example, says Stamper, but no-one thinks of it as a British word. For some reason it sounds Southern to many American ears.
The American 'tung'
- Lexicographer, author and editor Noah Webster was born in Connecticut in 1758
- Believed spellings were needlessly complicated, and tried to simplify them
- Many changes were adopted into American English - "traveled", "defense" and "color", for example
- He also wanted to change "women" to "wimmen" and "tongue" to "tung", but neither was adopted
- Learned 26 languages in order to write An American Dictionary of the English language - published in 1828 (22 years after his first dictionary) it had 70,000 entries
- Many Americans learned how to read using his famous Blue Backed Speller
There would have been no difference between British and American English when the Pilgrim Fathers first crossed the Atlantic. It took time for the two to go their separate ways - a process given a jolt by Noah Webster, who published the first dictionary of American English in 1806, 30 years after the Declaration of Independence.
Webster introduced the distinctive American spellings of words like "honour" (honor), "colour" (color), "defence" (defense), and "centre" (center), as well as including specifically American words like "skunk" and "chowder".
"He wanted very much for this budding new nation to have its own language," says Kory Stamper, whose Merriam-Webster dictionary is the modern-day version of Webster's work.
"If [we were] not British, but American, we needed to have an American language as well."
These days, the "balance of payments" language-wise is very much skewed the other way - with Americanisms used far more in Britain than the other way round, says Nunberg.
And though a few people do take umbrage at the use of British words in American English, they are in the minority, says Sheidlower.
"In the UK, the use of Americanisms is seen as a sign that culture is going to hell."
"But Americans think all British people are posh, so - aside from things that are fairly pretentious - no-one would mind."

K.K. Kozik paints a series of personal havens where people create private retreats out of already existing rooms or work with what they�ve got. A woman paints a bucolic scene on the outside wall of her downtown apartment, a fella creates a personal space out of a leafy bower in an urban backyard. Another woman�s world is her wall of books, while a quiet city couple have a polar bear for company. A window seat is created by putting up a plank between two trees, a stump for a handy table and a young woman takes a moonbath on the roof of her building. Kozik nails the feeling every time.

U.14: The U.14 girls narrowly lost their first championship game against Four Roads on Sunday in Kilbride. Senior Ladies: it was a disappointing weekend for the Senior Ladies on the championship front. Missing a number of players for various reasons the girls faced a very strong Roscommon Gaels side. There is a possibility of two championship games this week against Padraig Pearses and St. Brigids but these have yet to be confirmed.
St Marys Junior team defeated St Croans in a most entertaining game. It was played in ideal conditions and fitness won the day. We wish Sheena Rogers a speedy recovery. There are three more games in this competition so training continues and a full turnout is expected.
Our Junior A ladies team played a challenge game against Senior Longford side Clonguish and emerged victorious after an impressive team performance. We led 1-5 to 0-6 at half-time and the final score was 2-14 to 1-11. We played Shannon Gaels in the Championship on Thursday last and emerged victorious on a scoreline of 4-9 to 1-6.

Inside Sierra: Sand County Bivouac
by Joan Hamilton
In 1935 university professor Aldo Leopold bought some sad-looking land in Wisconsin. "On this sand farm, first worn out and then abandoned by our bigger-and-better society," Leopold declared, "we try to rebuild, with shovel and axe, what we are losing elsewhere." How successful was this world-renowned conservationist at bringing wildness back to his humble 120 acres? On the 50th anniversary of Leopold's classic book, A Sand County Almanac, we sent a writer-photographer team to find out.
One half of the team was Kenneth Brower, who wrote his first article for this magazine when he was 14-his father, conservation powerhouse David Brower was editor at the time. At 20, Kenneth Brower worked with photographer Ansel Adams to assemble a Sierra Club book on the Big Sur coast. At 21, he joined photographer Eliot Porter to produce a volume on the Gal pagos Islands.
Since that precocious beginning, Brower has published in the Atlantic and Smithsonian and has written, cowritten, or edited 25 more books. A trip to the sand counties of Wisconsin might seem a little flat, so to speak, for a man who has explored such vertiginous landscapes as the California coast, the Brooks Range, and Yosemite. But what's important is not so much what a person sees (to paraphrase Leopold) as the quality of the eye that sees it. We couldn't hope for a writer with better vision than Kenneth Brower.
Nor could we have found a more determined, innovative photographer than Michael Sewell. Soon after dropping his bags on a bunk at the Leopold Shack, Sewell was out pushing a cart with 100 pounds of camera equipment among the prairie and pines. He set up a blind in "the great marsh" and a remote camera beside a slough, rigged to take a photo whenever a creature crossed its infrared beam. At one point, Sewell lured a red fox close to his shutter by imitating the high-pitched squeal of a cottontail rabbit in distress. Day after day, from before dawn to after dusk, he combed Leopold's land for visual wonders. "I wanted to photograph the very descendants of the things Leopold had written about," he says.
In the end, Brower and Sewell produced the compelling "Leopold's Gift". They also landed a book contract. Sand County's original publisher, Oxford University Press, will reissue the almanac next fall, with a foreword by Kenneth Brower and photos by Michael Sewell.
Joan Hamilton is Editor-in-chief of Sierra.

Local news outlet, the Richmond Confidential featured us recently in an article covering our exciting grand opening party. Continue below for an excerpt.
Nutiva hosts grand opening
Terry Harris spent the last four years bouncing between temp agencies and commuting to the South Bay to find work, never able to find a full-time job. Then Nutiva, an organic "superfood" company, arrived in Richmond and started hiring Richmond residents – including Harris, a forklift operator. Now, he said, he can ride his bike to work.
Thursday afternoon Harris walked through the cavernous 105,000-square-foot warehouse, mixing with business owners, residents, politicians — and his new coworkers – at a grand opening party, as he and the Nutiva staff ready the warehouse to start operation.
"We're getting it all ready for production to come in," Harris said. "I'm very happy to be here. I'm part of a family, everyone is so warmhearted."
Nutiva outgrew its space in Oxnard and in June chose Richmond as its new home.
The billboard went up first, just off 580: "Change your world one coconut at a time." Now the warehouse is starting to fill in – Thursday a few small rows of boxes and some machinery stood on a patch of floor space as a hint of what's to come. Operations started Oct. 1 with online orders and the warehouse will fill with products in the next few weeks. Nutiva products are carried by 15,000 retailers in the United States, Canada and the European Union, the company's website says.
"We should be fully operational by December," Plant Manager Greg Phillips said. Nutiva has 70 employees and plans to add approximately 30 more by the end of the year. The company held a job fair in August and plans to prioritize local hires.

Hey Alloy!
I'm Vita. :-) I've been out on the road, visiting a ton of radio stations across the US. I've been doing some serious road trippin'! Last weekend, I had a killer time at Pop-Con in New York, NY. I got to perform with Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, and other new artists like myself. I met so many amazing fans and loved every single one :)
I vblogged the entire day! Check it out!
Earlier this week I got to hang in Cleveland -- what a cooool city. I found a dope thrift shop and bought a few too many plaid shirts, and a throw back Jimi Hendrix vinyl. Thrift and vintage store shopping is so amazing when you're on the road, you find the best things! Tomorrow I'm gonna wear one of my plaid shirts with dark wash skinny jeans and my hot pink patent leather diesel pumps! I love matching up my worn in looking clothes from thrift stores with some modern pieces.
Mad love!
xoxo Vita

My face had a horrible,I repeat horrible,reaction to this product.I'm not sure why,but redness and itchiness abounded.
Like other comments I noticed that my skin is smoother after application. But that may be due to the high 'cone content and glycolic acid (in the activating cream). I've used it for 4 weeks now, and noticed no change in my sagging around the jawline or around my eyes. In fact, it may have made my eyelids look more crepey! There is a slight improvement on the fine lines in my forehead, but that may be due to the glycolic acid. Save your money and buy glycolic acid instead to help with the fine lines.
Overpriced, weird system.
These miniature tubes are so expensive that I decided to just use the combo as a spot treatment (under eyes, smile lines, that little crease in the middle of my forehead).I really wanted this stuff to work; it doesn't seem to. And it is too expensive to keep on buying more.
Another complaint is that while the gray gel serum is easy to control coming out of the tube, the white activating cream flies out from the pump uncontrollably, wasting product. I am sure I am going to run out of the gray gel serum first.
That said, when I used these AFTER moisturizing WELL, I did seem to feel a little "something" sensation on my skin. So who knows if this stuff really could work (were I to have enough of it to slather it on)?

I've been using this for a few weeks and I could swear that my skin actually looks *worse* since using this - lines/crow's feet MUCH more prominent, skin drier and more lackluster. Everyone used to tell me I look young for my age but since using this it seems I've aged years. As expensive as this was I discontinued use after only a few weeks and still half the bottles remaining as my face seemed to be going the way of Dorian Grey's portrait.

I tried this product about 2 months ago now and have mixed comments on it. When I first started using it, I found the gel serum rather disturbing with its' gray color - however, that being said, once it is applied it virtually disappears into the skin. The formula is extremely soft - very similar to Smashbox primer. The next step, the activating serum is lovely - a light, easily absorbed consistency with a wonderful, clean scent. I really did not notice too much tingling - unless I had an open blemish that it was being applied over. I must say that the duo left my skin feeling extremely soft and over the course of approximately one week, I noticed quite a reduction in the nasolabial folds - the area really appeared to be filling out nicely. Also, some of my scars were softened. On the down side, I still struggled with the dry skin on the sides of my nose and between my eyebrows. I did not really notice any difference in the eye area (I think only eau d' plastic surgeon would fix this area on me - very thin, crepey skin in this area). So, overall, I was finding this product quite nice -for awhile - but then encountered an odd problem - and this may just have to do with my skin type, age or whatever. After using the product for a few weeks I noticed that if I ever went to pick even a small blemish (and shhsh - yes, I know I am not supposed to - however, I do) it would immediately bleed - kind of seep from the skin and this is not something that is normal for my skin. It was almost as though the capillaries underneath had been weakened - and this made me question the ingredients that might be creating the problem - namely I was worried about the gray gel. So, I have discontinued using this product and moved on to Olay Regenerist - which, by the way is a wonderful moisturizer and has completely taken care of the peeling skin at the side of my nose. Also, no more bleeding pores, should I be once again at my bad habit of picking. So, all in all, maybe the use of this product is dependent on the skin type - I am not sure - but I did see some nice results, so I hope it continues to work for others - minus the side effects I experienced.

I've been using this for about 2 weeks now and I have to say I LOVE IT! I've noticed that fine lines are almost gone, my skin is smooth and firm under my eyes and my dark circles are almost completely gone. This just might be my HG under eye cream!

Don't waste your money, no difference at all. I used this product for over 6 weeks and I have not seen any difference in my face. Im 38 years old and have a few wrinkles, very disappointed.

This stuff is AMAZING! The ion complex leaves your face and neck feeling and looking baby smooth!! The SPF 30 activating day cream is perfect for my oily skin - leaves it non-greasy, but gives me great protection from the sun here in South Florida. These two products are bought in the Neutrogena Clinicals kit together; use the ion complex first and then put on the day cream; the best thing of all is that foundation goes on and stays on beautifully over these two products...!!! It is rather pricey and the sizes/packaging could be more generous for what you pay, but this product is brand new so hopefully it will come down in price. Definitely my HG for a daily skin treatment!!!

It's been only a week, but so far, this stuff is incredible! My skin looks clearer, brighter, and more even. I don't know how, but the dark circles/bags under my eyes look much less puffy and lighter. This system is very expensive, but I'm pleased so far. I hope to continue to see good results.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've been using this product almost a week and I swear I saw results after only one day. I've had no break outs and my skin feels very soft after use - in addition to it seeming the lines in my forehead are somewhat less visible. I had a break out that was in the healing stage (and still is) when I started using this product. I've read reports of some folks feeling like there is a static like feeling or pin prick feel to this product and I think I experienced it on the areas where my break outs were healing. It hasn't made them worse, it seems to have sped up the recovery - they were really bad.
This product is a little pricey for a drugstore brand, but you can get a $15 rebate and $5 off coupon at Neutrogena's website.
I'm also not a huge fan of the packaging - but, I generally think most companies over package. So wasteful!
I think everyone should try this out! I'm impressed so far.
I've been using this product a few months now. I still love it! I suggest spot treating, unless you can afford to buy the product more than once a month. I like to spot treat my forehead and laugh lines with a dime size amount of the gel and then use 5 pumps of the moisturizer all over my face. I was finding that I'd run out of the gel way before the moisturizer, so I upped the amount of moisturizer.

Giro Hex Helmet 2013
The Hex fuses a muscular, progressive style with the versatility you need for aggressive trail riding. It's a fantastic choice for price-conscious riders looking for a rugged all-mountain helmet that offers loads of premium features.
I've used this helmet for 3 years of hard riding, and it's held up perfectly. The adjustment strap in the back is comfy and never needs adjusting, and the vents are pretty decent as well. Good coverage. The fit is a bit wider (rounder) than other oval-shaped helmets, which is good for me. Not sure why anyone would spend more on the Xen or Xar, this is a fantastic helmet.
I've used this helmet for 3 years of hard riding, including a couple of decent crashes, and it's been excellent. The fit adjuster in the back holds it position and is super comfortable, and all of the stickers and glued-on pieces are holding together fine. Venting is decent too. Fit is more wide (round) than some other brands which are more oval-shaped. Not sure why someone would spend more to get the Xen or the Xar over this.
This lid replaced my old Bell lid that was over 6 years old. The Giro Hex fits like no other helmet I've ever worn or tried on. And, I tried on at least a dozen helmets before choosing this one. Adjustability is a plenty with this lid. Dial in the snugness at the back with the roll of a finger. Plenty of vents to keep the melon cool on the warmest of days. AND, as always Price Point had the smoking deal. 5 stars and 2 thumbs up for this product!!!!!!!
I've been using the Giro Hex since spring 2013 and couldn't be happier! Fit is perfect. It vents and keeps my head cool nicely on the hottest of days. Everybody and their brother doesn't have it my part of the world; and often I have to reach up and make sure it's still on my head!!
Just picked up one of these this spring after trying on several different brands. I love how light it feels on my head. The Hex only took only shortening the straps to fit properly on my head.

I had 2 questions on building an ar upper... First could I swap this basic style hand guard out for a free float handrail... Is the front fixed sight/gas block a permanent part of the gun? Second how hard is it to install the BCG and the Charging handle properly?

Okay thanks! How hard is it to change that nut? Also how does the gas block work with a free float rail?
If you plan it right you don't necessarily have to remose the fsb or the nut. You can cut down the fsb while still on the barrel, remove the top portion and leaving the lower gas block portion functional and intact. If you use ff handgaurds such as the Troy Alpha, Midwest Industries SS gen2, or Samson Evos then you won't even have to remove the barrel or the barrel nut as thses units will attach directly to the standard nut and forged upper receivers.
Btw there are many other rails and handguards available that use the standard barrel nut. Those are just 3 lighweight and quality options.
To change the barrel nutyou need a proper vice block for your action, a vice, a torque wrench and armorers wrench. Some handguards come with a propietary nut that requires their own special tools to install. Proper torque range on a barrel nut is 30 ft/lbs minimum, and not to exceed 80 ft/lbs. Agenti Tikki gave you good suggestions on rails that don't require any special barrel nut.
Yankee Hill Machine also makes a quad rail handguard that would replace the stock handguard without special tools. I haven't got one yet, but I will be ordering one for my .50 cal Beowulf upper next week.
I have to say if you're asking how hard it is to install the BCG and CH then it's probably wise to buy the upper receiver group already configured - with the rail and gas block installed. Also, I'd put a lot of thought into what your intended uses are and make proper decisions as far as what goes into that upper. Why not let us know what you want out of the AR and no doubt there'll be lots of advice on configurations. To get the "building" part out of your system, just build up a stripped lower, that's what a lot of us do.
______ The biggest issue with assembling an AR isn't so much getting the parts together right - it's getting the right parts together. ________________________________________ US Army 1966-69, VFW Life Member, Retired Geek

LM/NL Games Introduces Two New 360°, Stereoscopic 3D Titles for Hasbro's my3D
Hot off the heels of Star Wars Arcade: Falcon Gunner, which pushed the boundaries of augmented reality gameplay, we're psyched to announce LM/NL's next foray into immersive gaming: my3D Sector 17 and my3D Teleport: LA, the first 360-degree, stereoscopic 3D experiences for iOS.
Partnering with Hasbro, LM/NL built these two titles exclusively for my3D, the toymaker's much-buzzed-about 3D viewer for iPhone and iPod Touch. While it's earned comparisons to the classic Viewmaster toy, we see my3D as something much more significant: mass market virtual reality.
Built atop the LM/NL Immersion Engine, these two titles push the limits of immersive VR gaming.
my3D Sector 17 is a hyperactive space adventure that throws you into the middle of an epic, intergalactic war. You'll do battle across all three axes in rich stereoscopic 3D.
my3D Teleport: LA is a virtual tour experience that drops you into a variety of tourist destinations scattered throughout Los Angeles. Coupled with 360-degree sound and motion control, the stereoscopic 3D confuses the senses and makes you feel like you're really there.

March 31, 2011 Taylor No Comments
On this week's show, Daryl, Josh, and Taylor met in studio to discuss the United States Men's National Team's (USMNT) 1-0 loss to a tough Paraguayan National Team. In front of over 29,000 fans at LP Field in Nashville, Tennessee a simultaneously young and experienced US side played well and fought hard, but walked off the pitch with a loss following an 18th minute goal by Paraguay's Oscar Cardozo. Topics discussed include the formation employed by Bob Bradley, the USMNT attacking duo (Jozy Altidore and Juan Agudelo), and Clint Dempsey setting a new record for "US player getting hacked to the ground".
We also rant about the "Moment of Silence" Incident at the USA-Argentina game, review the past week's MLS fantasy action, discuss our Correspondence of the Week (Ochocinco figures for the second straight week), reveal our Game of the Week, and play a little "Six Degrees of David Beckham" (this week featuring an American legend and a Ghanaian goal scorer).

In their mountain fastness, the nomadic Kyrgyz, a Turkic-speaking people with loose ties to Islam, bred horses, cattle, and yaks for centuries. The Kyrgyz came under tsarist Russian rule during the 19th century, and thousands of Slavic farmers migrated into the region. Kyrgyzstan gained independence in 1991. Kyrgyz make up two thirds of the population, and there are large Uzbek and Russian minorities. Raising livestock still remains the main agricultural activity today.
