Lemongrass Cilantro Chicken
I have never been to Laos but I have a Laotian friend when I lived in the Bay Area. I remember one of the potluck parties at the office, she prepared a delicious grilled chicken that got me hooked. The chicken was marinated with lemongrass and the fish-sauce dipping sauce was so delicious I got a second helping of the chicken. I never asked her for the recipe.
A few months ago, when my copy of Food & Wine Annual Cookbook 2012 arrived, the lemongrass cilantro chicken immediately caught my eyes. The recipe headnote states that the chicken is called pings, or simple grilled dishes that are very popular all over Laos, and that the lemongrass cilantro chicken is a great example of pings.
I immediately earmarked the recipe and made it over this past weekend. While I can't say that the recipe is exactly what my Laotian friend made, but it was pretty close. The taste and flavors are what I remember: the aroma of lemongrass, the fragrance of cilantro leaves, and the sweet, savory, sour, and pungent dipping sauce. I just love it.
I styled the photos almost identical to the magazine. Serving on a sheet of banana leaf, drizzling some of the dipping sauce on top of the chicken pieces, and top them off with some mint leaves and cilantro leaves. The dish is as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the stomach.

Know Your Rights
Regardless of how completely their lives are intertwined or how deeply they care for each other, individuals in same-sex relationships frequently are treated like strangers under the law — and none are afforded full equality in this country. This unequal treatment causes concrete and devastating harm. It most deeply affects those with children, those with fewer financial resources, people of color, senior citizens or those with less access to education. In addition, the government's denial of legal statuses and protections available to different-sex couples brands lesbians and gay men as second class. Lambda Legal will continue to seek an end to discrimination in access to civil marriage so that same-sex couples in this country have the same choices other couples have, including whether or not to marry.

If you're like most Americans, your retirement planning could probably use a jumpstart.
From college loans and mortgages to raising children, countless expenses have popped up along the way that have made it difficult to save as much money as you'd like.
It will take some time, discipline, and -- most importantly -- education, but it is possible to get yourself on the path to a carefree retirement... right now!
It's why The Motley Fool has recruited an expert whose unconventional retirement wisdom makes him one of the smartest and most approachable advisors around...
His name is Robert Brokamp, CFP®...
Before joining The Motley Fool, Robert was a financial advisor at Prudential Securities. He spent years researching proven money-building retirement strategies, the latest money-saving tax loopholes, and more to help ensure his clients enjoyed their golden years.
Though he worked with some excellent people, he wasn't satisfied. More than anything, because he was forced to sell his clients what the company offered.
So he left Prudential and became a Fool, eventually founding The Motley Fool's popular Rule Your Retirement newsletter service, where he combines his love of teaching (he actually has a teaching degree and taught English for several years) with his vast insider knowledge of retirement planning, to bring you the most up-to-date investment strategies around.
You'll see how easy it is to:
Not only has he written widely read articles on Fool.com and in renowned publications like Newsweek, Robert Brokamp has also authored (or co-authored) 4 top-selling books and recently gave a speech at the SEC that was broadcast on CSPAN.
Each Rule Your Retirement issue shares Robert's latest insights and advice, plus tips from the likes of Roger Ibbotson, Burton Malkiel, and even Motley Fool Co-founder David Gardner -- investors whose knowledge he taps on a daily basis to ensure you get the best possible retirement advice available.
FREE Bonus Report: Stocks 2013: The Investor's Guide to the Year Ahead -- Introducing Stocks 2013: The Investor's Guide to the Year Ahead, featuring 12 world-class companies poised to outperform the market both in 2013 and over the long term.
We think you'll agree that The Motley Fool's Rule Your Retirement newsletter service is the best place for objective, practical, and successful investment advice. We're not beholden to Wall Street. In fact, you can get all the proven wisdom in Rule Your Retirement for less than it would cost you to meet with an accountant for an hour.
Best of all, you can sit down with Rule Your Retirement whenever you want -- no appointment necessary. And with Rule Your Retirement, you'll learn things your accountant, broker, or financial advice might never mention.
You're just one click and mere seconds away from getting started!

Hey man, I honestly never visited MH much, so I didn't know much of what stupid shit went on, but that guy's just a dumb prick who needed to feel better about himself. I wanna help, so if you are making a website or whatever it is exactly I wanna help (even though it's not like I can scanlate or upload or anything...) (-_-,) but all I do know is that I used to collect anime code for another website until I became somewhat inactive, so if you do a site hit me up.
If you search for me, I'm here: morten
cafe&issues undeleted:
Any update on the status of Jcafe making a comeback yet? =o
I can do it.
but I'll still have to wait a couples of days before I get my Tablet pen.
so who am I going to be this time in the OT family portrait?
Ah, loli... beautiful loli... eh, ahum, cough cough. I will try my hand at something this weekend. Currently, I'm inclined towards PAI. Personally, I think the main character is someone all of us "closet otakus" can relate to. As far as the outside world is concerned we are all up and going, very sociable individuals, but somewhere underneath that facade, we all have an inner "otaku" with some very peculiar Kinks. Mine is loli, the main guy in the story is big breasts, but yeah, i'm guessing the series is going to be a hit, especially among the more veteran readers that have become hardened to panty flashing and the sort.
Good to have you back. Would have missed you.
I'm so so so so sososososososos glad you're back, man!!!
And I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry for everything and if I ever offended you, please believe me when I say I did not mean it. no intention whatsoever.

Excessive timing chain noise, a rattling or ticking, on higher mileage cars may lead to timing chain failure, which can cause engine damage. There are upgraded chain tension guides with a steel backing to improve durability and a modified repair procedure no longer requires the removal of the cylinder head to replace the timing chain. Maintaining proper engine oil level and frequent oil changes are important to ensure the long-term durability of this engine.

Most people know that exercising is good for your health. However, not everyone has the time or energy to exercise. Establishing good heart-healthy habits in children can reduce conditions such as obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels and poor lifestyle habits that lead to heart attacks and strokes later in life.
Everyone should make it a point to do some kind of exercise regularly. Exercise boosts your self-confidence by improving your strength, stamina, flexibility, appearance, and sense of control. Exercise builds muscles and can reshape your body. Physical activity uses up excess calories that would otherwise be stored as fat. Muscle cells are eight times more metabolically active than fat cells. So, the more muscle you have, the higher your metabolic rate and the easier it will be to lose weight. Eating a sensible diet while exercising also helps you lose weight.
Here are some reasons to exercise and ways you can incorporate exercise into your daily activities.
Before You Begin Exercising
• Always check with your physician before starting any kind of exercise program.
• Make sure your activities are compatible for your age and physical condition. Take time to warm up, stretch and cool down.
• Pick activities that are fun, suit your needs and can be done year-round.
• If you are participating in a sports activity, make sure you have the right equipment and protective gear.
• Dress appropriately, comfortably and wear proper shoes.
• Wear sunscreen at all times when you're outdoors. Caps, hats, sunglasses and umbrellas can also help protect you from the sun's damaging effects.
• Drink lots of water to keep yourself hydrated. As you age, your sense of thirst tends to decrease so you cannot reply on your internal sense of thirst.
• If you go walking, choose a place that has a smooth, soft surface, is away from traffic and is well lit and safe.
• Find a friend to exercise with and help keep you motivated.
Benefits of Daily Physical Activity
• Strengthens your heart so your itpumps blood more efficiently and helps reduce the risk of heart disease.
• Reduces high blood pressure.
• Reduces the risk of stroke.
• Reduces the risk of colon cancer by helping to regulate your digestive system.
• Promotes strong and healthy bones by increasing the circulation and flow of nutrients to your bones which helps decrease the risk of fractures and osteoporosis.
• Increases your energy level.
• Strengthens your circulatory system and lungs.
• Helps improve your skin's tone and elasticity.
• Promotes a younger and healthier body. Regular physical activity can help slow the aging process.
• Contributes to weight loss and maintenance by increasing your body's metabolism (the rate at which the body burns calories), as well as increasing muscle which helps burn fat.
• Controls blood sugar
• Physical activity helps maintain the body's glucose levels, important especially for diabetics or those at risk for diabetes.
• Controls cholesterol
• Increases the ratio of good cholesterol (HDL) to bad cholesterol (LDL) and also lowers triglycerides.
• Helps with pain tolerance
• Helps make pregnancy and childbirth easier.
• Improves your intellectual capacity
• By increasing the level of endorphins, the body's natural pain killers, exercise can help alleviate pain, such as PMS symptoms and menstrual cramps. The deep breathing during exercise brings more oxygen to the blood, which relaxes the uterus.
• Helps reduce physical and emotional stress and alleviate bouts of anxiety or depression.
• Exercise increases your productivity by helping to clear your head so you can approach your work refreshed and able to concentrate.
• Stretching exercises help elongate muscles, promote flexibility and reduce the incidence of backaches.
• Strengthens your immune system over the long term so that you're less likely to get sick.
• Relieves constipation by increasing intestinal activity and curbs bloating by increasing perspiration.
• Improves your sleep by helping you to fall asleep quickly, sleep soundly and awake refreshed.
• Gives you more energy
• Better health overall

Ed and Elaine Brown recently received bad news from the First Circuit. Their July 2009 convictions were upheld. The convictions were for quite a few things, but it boils down to how they reacted to their 2007 convictions for refusing to pay income taxes. Instead of surrendering to serve their five year sentences, they fortified their home in New Hampshire stockpiling food and weapons. They had a lot of sympathy and support including an endorsement by presidential candidate Ron Paul, who compared them to Gandhi and Martin Luther King.Read more »

MagFloat Floating Magnet For Fish Bowls
The Mag-Float® revolutionary patented floating aquarium cleaner removes algae from your aquarium without getting your hands wet. Super convenient floating cleaner, cleans aquarium surfaces and floats when the inner magnet separates from the outer magnet. Because you never have to reach into the aquarium, not only can you stay clean and dry, but also avoid toxic lotions or soap residue on your skin from getting into your aquarium water. The Mag-Float's powerful rare earth neodymium magnets provide a lifetime durability and ample strength to get the job done. Simply move the outside magnet that contains the felt, and the inside abrasive velcro magnet scrubber follows, cleaning as it goes. If the magnets separate, the inner magnet floats right back to the surface, so you'll never have to dig around on the bottom. This prevents the magnet from picking up any debris and causing scratches on your tank. Its unique floating feature also permits easy and efficient movement around the corners of fish tanks, so you will no longer knock over decorations and damage corals and invertebrates as it happens with sinking magnet cleaners. The neodymium magnets are covered by an injection- molded and toxic free plastic; preventing water contact with the magnet. Therefore rust will never occur allowing the Mag-Float® to be left attached to your aquarium surface at all times. This makes it convenient, and practical for storage and the next cleanup job. From as little as small betta bowls to public aquariums, glass or acrylic, Mag-Float® covers the entire spectrum.
· Large cleaning surface area makes the job quick and efficient
· No longer get your hands submerged into the water of the fish tank
· Strong, high-quality neodymium rare earth magnets
· Time/money saver on maintenance

By Deb The Globe Trotter
from Sedro-Woolley, Washington
The blinds are very attractive and set off the windows. For such a low price, we did not expect the high quality we received. [...] The darkening blinds really does the trick for night workers who sleep during the day. Will reccomend Steve's Blinds to all my friends.
Super quality custom blinds!
By B'dole
from Raleigh, NC
I ordered three blinds to cover a large, bay-window style expanse of five windows in my living room. Basically I had two side windows at angles, and three center windows. I ordered a special three-on-one rail blind for the middle. All blinds had custom opening and closing controls depending on the room furniture. I used a mitre box to fashion a headrail cover with the included three headrail covers so it had a seamless look between the five windows. To get custom Levolor quality at the price I did from Steve's Blinds was really remarkable, and everyone I've told is shocked at the low price.

I really liked the blinds. We bought some through [...] and although they were made by the same manufacturer we did not like the way the operated. These were custom blinds that we purchased from Steve's and they were perfect.

These are nice looking blinds but they are difficult to lift and lower. We also bought the "Steve's" brand and I think they are easier to operate.

I needed a blind for a small window and was able to get exactly what I needed. The slats can be removed individually, making cleaning very easy. I love the look with 2-inch white wood trim around the window.
Good Value for money

With nine windows in our 1920's house sun room and most a slightly differnt size, we were very nervous. However my husband measured it carefully and the blinds fit beautfiully- it looks like a custom job.We are hoping it will cut some of the chill from the signle glazed windows too next winter.

We are very pleased with the product, which is Levolor and made in Mexico. And with Steve's Blinds for the reason stated below.
Problem Shipping /Product Fine/Damaged
By Greg
I chose this vendor based on price. The same product was widely available elsewhere. Service by the vendor was well done and prompt and I was kept informed of shipping. However, the vendor needs to control shipping more carefully. One of my boxes was dented on the outside and when opened the metal bracket at the top bent in as well. It was usable and I did not return it because I needed to promptly put it into use, but I am not satisfied by the quality of the delivery. The product is first quality.
Merchant response: We are sorry for the damaged delivery. We are glad that you were still able to use the blinds. Our customers should always contact us in the event they received a damage shipment so that we can get them out a new shipment.
Look great!
By Scott

We originally had problems with the dimensions. It was NOT Steve's Blind's fault. The company sent them wrong, but Steve's took care of the problem very quickly and in a week I had the right dimensions. They look great! I will use Steve's again!

Couldn't be happier!
By Jmr Mom
from Portland, OR
My husband and I purchased these blinds for a bonus room remodel for a multi-use space, one of the uses being a movie/media room. We wanted custom blinds that would block light, not spend an exorbitant amount of money, but look high end. We ordered a few samples from Steve's to find the color that matched. We placed the order and received our blinds in just about a week. They were a cinch to install and fit perfectly, just follow the directions to measure and don't assume that if you have two like windows that the measurements will be exactly the same. We need other replacement blinds since our home was built in the 70s. We will be ordering from Steve's again in the future.
Amazing value and top quality

Very quick delivery, everything was exact including the typo I made. I would love to see a field that allows you to identify the room and window for which the blind was ordered. It would save time in installation on larger orders.

M & B and Levolor do not charge oversized freight. Shutters have a freight charge due to the weight of the product. Most blind orders ship within 3 to 5 business days.

Do audio books make stories better?
I just recently listened to the audio book version of Stephen King's From A Buick 8. I had read it when it first came out and I enjoyed it but not as much as some of his other books but listening to it on audio CD brought a whole new dimension (ha ha) to it. I listened to it in pitch darkness and it was really like watching a movie in my mind. Anyway, I totally love this book now and it has become one of my top favorite King novels.
My question is, has anyone else ever experienced this with audio books where you weren't originally impressed with a novel and then heard it on audio and it changed your thinking on it completely?

I'm an audio book addict. Love em. But the quality of narration is very important to the listening experience, obviously. I have listened to books read by two different narrators, and it can seem as though they are completely different books. In general, though, I like to hear the voices read to me. I am very bad at creating the sounds of the different voices and accents in my own head while reading, so having that extra input makes the book sing to me. A good narrator can definitely improve a book.
Speaking of narrators -- I am very much looking forward to getting hold of the new recordings of Best Served Cold and The Heroes. The original versions were recorded by Michael Page, who was completely wrong for Abercrombie's work. The new recordings are done by Steven Pacey, who recorded the First Law trilogy -- near or at the top of my all time favorite book/narrator pairings. Unfortunately, right now they are only available in the UK -- but I'm working on it!

One audiobook that made a story better for me was the John Lee narrated a Feast for Crows. When I originally read the hardcover on it's release date, I didn't enjoy it that much. I think this was because of the absence of some of the main POVs, the inclusion of some new unfamiliar POVs and lands, and the wait and anticipation that I had built up. I had also listened to the audiobooks of the first three books in the series and really enjoyed them and their narration by Roy Dotrice.
I first listened to the AFFC audiobook a few years after reading the hardcover and I was initially disappointed that there was a new narrator. After a little while though I came to appreciate this narrator's more laid back style and this also made me appreciate the new, slower paced style of this volume that was opening the world up to a wider scope with new viewpoints and lands. I love Roy Dotrice's readings of the first three novels and thought he fit them well, but John Lee was the right guy for the new feel of AFFC and I just don't think I would have ever come to appreciate Brienne's treks through Quiet Isle and Crack Claw Point or Arianne and crews' flight up the river and through the desert quite the same without Lee's style of narration.

I am on record as a huge fan of audible books, but as far is this format making a book better... I'd say IMO it's possible but does not happen very often for me. A good reader can really enhance a book (Roy Dotrice and ASoIaF for me!) and a poor one can really ruin it to some extent.
Audible books are my choice most of the time because I can enjoy them while traveling no matter if I'm driving or on a plane or boat (where reading a book sometimes makes me feel sick), or while mowing the back field on my tractor. In addition, since I hit my 50's my eyes have not been what they used to be. Wearing glasses or contacts to read has taken much of the joy out of reading for me. On a beach in Jamaica.. I can listen to a book I enjoy while gazing at the beautiful beach and water in front of me! There a many reasons I am an avid user of audible books, but for most part I never expect a book to be 'better' because I listen to it rather than read it.

So what are some really well done fantasy audiobooks?
For me, 2 that I felt were extremely well done were American Gods and Sabriel (read by Tim Curry).

The First Law trilogy -- by Joe Abercrombie, narrator Steven Pacey
The Steel Remains and The Cold Commands -- by Richard Morgan, narrator Simon Vance
The Graveyard Book -- by Neil Gaiman, narrator Neil Gaiman
Good Omens -- by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett -- I forget the narrator, but he does a fine job
The Vorkosigan series -- by Lois McMaster Bujold, narrator Grover Gardner
The Dresden Files series -- by Jim Butcher, narrator James Marsters (note that the first two books are NOT very good, but they improve greatly after that)
the Harry Potter series -- by JK Rowling, narrator Jim Dale -- some people prefer the Stephen Fry narration, but I like Dale better
the Joe Pitt series -- by Charlie Huston, narrator Scott Brick -- only if you like noir, many people think these are too dark and violent
also anything narrated by George Guidall!

Some others that I can remember off the top of my head are: all of the Dying Earth and Lyonesse books by Jack Vance, the Talisman by Steven King and Peter Straub, Black Company by Glenn Cook, and Snow Crash by Neil Stephenson(it was cyberpunk instead of fantasy but the audiobook was really good). As has already been mentioned, the Song of Ice and Fire audiobooks are very good too.

Simon Vance and Stephen pacey are very good.
Others Series i liked and not to mention my favourite author is robert jordan wheel of time. Micheal krmaer and kate redding?? did a great job and the female male combination is great when going to different pov.
Only downside for me is kramer american accent is quite strong i find ( i suppose it wouldnt bother americans )
Easy way to get through a large series doesnt make them feel so big when you dont read them yourself. Fortunetly i can listen to them at work most of time when welding but sometimes people using metal saw all day makes it impossible

For me it all comes down to the narrator - Listening to Neil Gaiman do Neverwhere - was great. But I've heard other audio books (won't call them out) where the narrator completely ruined it for me.
My pet peeve..."different voices" for characters and the "woman" always high and lilting - I would prefer a straight read overy a characiture of a character.

On FAB8, different people read certain parts but the way it is done is perfect. There is a narrator who reads the majority of the book but when it gets to the chapters where other characters in the story tell their part of it, it switches to another person. You don't have two different people reading on the same chapter.

The Australian man accused of murdering an Irish backpacker, in St Kilda, Melbourne, has pled not guilty.
Luke James Wentholt (31) is accused of attacking Irish backpackers David Greene and David Byas, at 1 am on August 26th 2012. Greene (30) died at Melbourne's Alfred Hospital, on September 7th. Byas who also suffered serious injuries was in a coma when his friend passed away.
Members of Greene's family, present in court, laughed as Wentholt pleaded not guilty. However he pled guilty to intentionally causing injury and three counts of common law assault.
The defendant's girlfriend told the court she saw him "forcefully stomping" on the victim's head. David Ranson, the forensic pathologist, told the court that Greene had likely died from one or more of these blows to the head. He said the force of the blows would have shifted the brain inside the skull.
Wentholt's former girlfriend, Shayla Pullen, told the hearing at Melbourne Magistrates' Court she saw him repeatedly stomp on the heads of the two Irish men.
She told magistrate Peter Mealy, "They were both bleeding, [blood] was just everywhere."
Prior to the assault Wentholt had been drinking with friends at the house where he and Greene used to live. The pair got into an argument.
Pullen told police, "I think [Mr Wentholt] was drunk. I haven't seen him that drunk before."
She told the court that Wentholt, who is trained in the jujitsu martial art, asked to speak to Greene outside. Greene had been joking about seeing Pullen partially naked a few days before, the Irish Times reports.
"He made small jokes about it throughout the night and I think Luke was starting to get annoyed about it. So I think that's why Luke wanted to talk to him outside," she told the court.
She heard the pair arguing and then heard "smashing noises" followed by Irish voices.
"I heard like a wrestling and smashing, like someone was hitting up against something," she continued.
When he went into the hallway she saw the two Dubliners lying on the floor and Wentholt "forcefully stomping" on their heads.
"I just remember there was lots of blood - every time he stomped, there was lots of blood...I ran at him and pushed him away from them because he wouldn't stop stomping," Pullen said.
Christine Babuczki, another flatmate, told the court that when she saw Wentholt he was acting like a "crazy monster," stomping on Greene's head as the Irishman was lying senseless face down on the floor.
Detective acting sergeant Nathan Toey said a hammer covered in the defendant's blood was found at the scene, but there was no evidence it was used in the attack.
Wentholt has been remanded in custody to appear at the Victorian Supreme Court for a directions hearing on April 17th.

Soriano, Yanks pound Sox
Mark Reynolds hit a two-run homer among three RBIs in his Yankees debut and Andy Pettitte (8-9) allowed three unearned runs on six hits in 6 2/3 innings to pick up the win. Soriano improved to 13-for-18 with five home runs and 18 RBIs in the last four contests — tying a major-league record for most runs batted in during a four-game span — as New York picked up its fifth win in six games.

Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga
In the wake of the ease with which newer, popular RPG's (FFX) are beaten, here is an RPG which reminds us this genre can be really freaking hard, and incredibly engaging at the same time. Lots of leveling, good ole fashioned leveling, lots of ridiculously crippling ailments. I love it. Can't wait to play the sequel, if I can finish this one by the time it comes out.

I just quit Ragnarok and made the easy transition into Lineage II. As of yet I like it save for a few small graphical issues that are common in 3D games like this.
If you're into MMPORPGs you'd definitely enjoy this one. It has a very Tolkienish feel to it...lol almost to the point of copywrite infringement but thats what I like about it. Haha if you see the cities and hear the music then You'll understand what I mean.

Yeah I was just down at the local Target and there are like 50 people camping out on the sidewalk so they can buy one in the morning.
Think I'll wait for the price to drop a little and more games to be released before I buy one.

Mike Whaley: March's madness tickles this Lee's fancy
Thursday, March 21, 2013
When March Madness rolls around, Josh Lee, an avowed basketball junkie, can think of no better place to be.
Lee, 35, has lived in Wolfeboro for seven years and is a licensed physical therapist with offices in Wolfeboro and Moultonborough. Seven years ago, Brewster coach Jason Smith approached him about helping coach the Brewster team, and Lee was happy to come onboard.
The 12 Brewster players dancing in March are North Carolina State's TJ Warren, Michigan's Mitch McGary, UCLA's Khalid McCaskill, Pittsburgh's Durand Johnson, Kansas' Naadir Tharpe, Iowa State's Melvin Ejim, Minnesota's Mo Walker, Syracuse's CJ Fair, Oklahoma's Andrew Fitzgerald, Arizona's Mark Lyons, New Mexico's Emmanuel Negedu and Akron's Chauncey Gilliam.
Tharpe is the backup point guard at Kansas, which lost in the 2012 championship to Kentucky, 67-59, and Lee was there to see the game in New Orleans, in the front row no less. Another Brewster player, Thomas Robinson, now in the NBA with the Houston Rockets, starred on that 2012 Kansas team, earning All-American honors and was selected to the Final Four all-tournament team. Lee has been to a half dozen final fours, but last year was the first time there were Brewster kids still playing.
"We usually get 400 inquires every year for 10 spots," Lee said. "We look at a kid's character, can he do the school work and can he qualify for college."
The Bobcats went on to win the national championship and Barton was the top ranked shooting guard in the country.
In March, you'd be mad not to.

It is hard for native English speakers to understand others' passion towards their threatened mother tongues, because the prospect of language death is completely outside our experience. Hence we tend to theorize from a purely utilitarian perspective, ignoring culture entirely. But a simple thought experiment shows we don't really mean it.
A single standard for English spelling would plainly be useful. It would aid learners, search engines, indexing systems etc, hence lowering costs. Therefore, in the interests of efficiency, we should abolish the British English spelling "colour" and use the shorter US form "color" instead. Similarly the whole world should write "enrolment" and abandon the longer US alternative "enrollment". And so on, throughout the entire English language. Simple?
If, like many others, you recoil in horror at the thought of changing a few silent letter rules you learned at school, then that's culture. You can imagine how much deeper the feelings might run if the change in question was the societal abandonment of your mother tongue, your habitual mode of thought, whereby you would interact primarily through a foreign language for the rest of your life.
