Culture of the United States
This article very generally discusses the customs and culture of the United States; for the "culture" of the United States, see arts and entertainment in the United States.As the United States is an immense country, with many residents and citizens being descended from relatively recent immigrantss, defining a common set of customs, traditions, behavior and way of life is difficult. Unlike many Old World nation-states, the United States does not have a homogenous population or a traditional homeland.
However, American culture can be interpreted as being largely based on Western culture, with influences from the native peoples, Africans brought to the U.S. as slaves, and other more recent immigrants from Asia and elsewhere. Additionally, due to its large size and the value placed on individualism, there are many integrated but unique subcultures within the U.S.
America's formative years were in the late 18th century, and a great deal of American culture is couched in the ideals of The Enlightenment. The Declaration's mission statement about securing life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; French revolution's ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity; and the national motto of E pluribus unum ("From many, one") reflect the country's values and social development. Another primary influence on American culture is the constant stream of new immigrants, many of whom had fled persecution or oppression in their home countries, and were seeking freedom (including religious freedom) and economic opportunity, leading them to reject totalitarian practices.
By and large, Americans value the ideals of individual liberty, individualism, self-sufficiency, altruism, equality, Judeo-Christian morals, free markets, a republican form of government, democracy, populism, pluralism and patriotism. (Americans often believe that their patriotism has nuances that differentiate it from nationalism and nationalism's negative connotations.)
There is a close relationship between America's political and economic traditions. That the individual pursuit of self-interest leads to the best result both for the individual and for society as a whole is believed to be a successful formula for both economic success and optimal political function. Whether this is true is arguable (e.g. the United States government is not the most generous donor of international aid, large corporations have enormous power over individual lives, and there are pockets of severe deprivation within the United States) but the U.S. economy is one of the most successful on earth, and many of its citizens enjoy comparatively high living standards.
The fact that the United States is the largest English-speaking marketplace allows firms to compete across the country and to enjoy economies of scale (cost reductions that arise from the huge scale of manufacturing) that reduce prices and benefit consumers. The relatively uniform commercial culture--with many large stores or "chains" operating nationwide--produces a commercial atmosphere that is relatively homogeneous throughout the country.
The population of the United States tends to be centered in large cities, in marked contrast to the demographics of a century ago, when the country was quite agrarian.
The United States is skeptical or hostile toward socialist and communist ideologies, but some of the related movements, such as the labor movement, were accepted by the country, although not without dispute. The country was less affected by socialist ideas in the 20th century than was Europe, and the McCarthy Era and The Cold War as a whole demonstrated a deeply felt hostility to communism, which was perceived as anti-individualist and anti-liberal. They are also evidenced in aspects of social policy, e.g. the absence of a national health care system and constant controversy about the size and role of the government, especially the federal government, in individuals' lives and in states' laws.
The American tradition of free-market capitalism has led the populace (and their leaders) to generally accept the market and the alterations to society that a changing economy implies, although social and economic displacement are common. The result is a flexible, but money-minded, socio-economic system.
Individual Americans can be ethnocentric, with little interest in the culture of other countries. For example, very few books from European countries or Japan are translated for sale in the United States and sales of those that are translated are slow. Imported television shows are rare except on PBS although remakes of foreign shows are more common, and imported films are less successful than homegrown versions, especially imports that are not spoken in English. Americans also tend to travel overseas less than citizens of other countries. American businesses, however, tend to be quite internationally sophisticated.
The insularity of the general population and the media means there can be limited understanding of and sensitivity towards other countries and cultures, and this has arguably produced problems for the United States.
The citizens and many other residents of the United States refer to themselves and each other as Americans, and to their country as the United States or as America. Non-Hispanic Americans understand, and may say, "the Americas" with the meaning of the two major continents of the Western hemisphere, but generally will resist using "America" in that sense, despite that designation's familiarity to Spanish speakers. While to many foreigners "Yankees" is synonymous with the American people, Americans almost always use the term for the sports team, for New Englanders, or in contrast to Southerners. The major exception to that is Americans' occasional ironic usage of "Yankee" (or especially "Yank", construed by Americans as a British usage), in attempting to convey either striving to transcend American parochialism, or resignation to the failure of any such striving. "The States" is a term generally used when referring to the country from some overseas vantage point. "The US" or "The U.S." is a casual, short-hand term. Fairly formal terms, still short-hand, evoking patriotic observances (possibly with irony) are "U.S.A." (with or without the periods, and usually with "the"); a more marked version is "the U. S. of A." USian is used within the country mostly in discussions like this paragraph, and is otherwise so extremely rare as to probably usually convey being either ignorant or more interested in drawing attention than in gaining a sympathetic hearing. Its rare use internationally denotes the U.S. specifically, rather than the Americas as a whole, or distinguishes U.S. English from the whole English language.
Group allegiances are sometimes regional, but can also be related to a professional or fraternal organization. For example, residents of North Carolina are proud to be "Tar Heelers," Indiana residents are "Hoosiers" and many cities have a strong sense of civic identity, often reinforced by a innocuous but deeply felt rivalry with another local city. An example of such a rivalry existed until the early 1960s between the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota.
Recent immigrants tend to congregate with other immigrants from their country of origin, often establishing neighborhoods (sometimes called ethnic enclaves) in cities with popular names like "Chinatown", "Poletown", "Frogtown" or "Little Saigon." Second- and third-generation descendants of immigrants tend to have looser affiliations with their ethnic groups.
America has tens of thousands of clubs and organizations, and if a group has a charitable or service orientation, Americans may volunteer their time through those groups. Examples of these groups include the Rotary Club, the Boy Scouts of America, Little League, etc.
The types of food served at home vary the most and depend upon the region of the country and the family's own cultural heritage. Recent immigrants tend to eat food similar to that of their country of origin. Families that have lived for a few generations in the U.S. tend to eat some combination of that and the food common to the region they live in or grew up in, such as New England cuisine, Midwestern cuisine, southern cuisine, Tex-Mex cuisine and Californian cuisine.
Dress is usually casual and informal, and in the Western tradition of pants and a shirt, and dresses for women. The exception to the informality is major cities such as San Francisco and New York City, where many residents dress with polish and style. Social and business situations may call for tailored suits or other more elegant outfits. The strictest clothing convention applies to skirts and dresses; they are usually reserved for, but not always used, or exclusively used by, women and girls.
Jeans, a T-shirt and athletic shoes, with optional baseball cap, come close to being a national uniform.
The greatest variations in dress are related to climate. Easterners generally tend to dress more formally than Westerners. Residents of northern states wear heavy sweaters, warm, water-resistant boots, stocking caps and heavy coats or down parkas in the cold season. In Hawaii, the Hawaiian shirt as an acceptable item of wear by men has received formal approval by the state legislature. In beach areas, especially in California, Hawaii and Florida, skimpy clothing, is considered acceptable in all but the most formal settings. Cowboy hats, Western boots and large silver belt buckles are found in southwestern and western regions of the United States, particularly Texas and Arizona.
In the American educational system children are generally required to attend school from the age of five or six until age 16, with the majority continuing until they are at least 17 or 18, or have graduated from high school. The public education systems vary from one state to another but generally are organized as follows:
Funding of schools is often done on the local level,
with money obtained from property taxes used to fund the public schools.
Undergraduate degrees granted by institutions of higher education include associate's degrees from community colleges and bachelor's degrees from four-year schools.
Common postgraduate degrees are master's degrees or Ph.D.s, or specialized professional degrees such as a J.D for a lawyer, an MBA for a businessman or an M.D for a doctor.
As with the lower level public education system, there is no national public university system in the United States. Each state has its own public university system. There are also many privately run colleges, universities, and trade schools, some of them religiously affiliated. State university tuition ranges from nearly free on up, but is generally significantly lower than at private schools, and often lower for state residents than for out-of-state students.
Among the prestigious private universities of the United States are the eight Ivy League schools, Stanford University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Johns Hopkins University, the University of Chicago, Duke University and Georgetown University. Prestigious state universities include the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Virginia, and the University of Michigan.
The U.S. federal government does provide some federal grants and loans for higher education to many families. Most universities offer academic scholarships and need-based aid, however, the American attitude is that higher education is a privilege, not a right, and that it is proper for students to assume some of the cost of their own education through work and loans.
Students seeking officership in the United States Military may enroll in ROTC courses at most colleges and universities, or in one of service academies, such as West Point or Annapolis.
The primary, although not official, language of the United States is English, of the subtype American English. Other major languages are Spanish (due to the geographic proximity of the Spanish-speaking countries of Central and South America and the culture crossover of the borderlands), Hawaiian, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese and Tagalog, and to a certain extent French (primarily in far north New England and Louisiana, due to the Acadian-Canadian influence). There are more than 300 languages besides English which can claim native speakers in the United States--some of which are spoken by the indigenous peoples (about 150 living languages) and others which were imported by immigrants. Homegrown creoles include Gullah and Cajun, both spoken in the southeastern United States. Deaf people and their affiliates primarily communicate via American Sign Language.
The demographics of the United States illustrate why American English is largely rhotic; the letter "R" gets pronounced in most words with that letter, which is due to the splitting off from Britain in the 1600s when English was still rhotic. During this time, the King James Version of the Bible was written, and is referred to as such in the United States, not the "authorized version." Somehow the specific King James Version phrases, like the words of Shakespeare and the British units of measure, still resonate for most Americans.
There are four major dialects in the United States--northeastern, south, inland north and midlands. The midlands accent extends from what were once the "Middle Colonies" across the Midwest to the Pacific.
The American religious tradition is primarily Christian, but the Constitutional guarantee of separation of church and state, freedom of religion and, again, the diversity of the population means that no one religion holds sway over the entirety of the population. Culture "wars" often have roots in religious differences, but religious violence is rare and on a small scale. America is a more church(-temple-mosque)-going country than most European countries.
According to the 2001 American Religious Identity Survey (ARIS), 76.5% of Americans, or 159 million people, identify themselves as Christians; 13.2% or 27.5 million identify as non-religious or secular. These two identifications total almost 90% of attested religious affiliations in the United States.
Other faiths represented include the 1.3% or 2.8 million of Americans who identify themselves as Jewish; 0.5% or 1 million who identify themselves as Muslim; 0.5% or 1 million who identify themselves as Buddhists; 0.5% or 991,000 who identify as agnostic; 0.4% or 902,000 who identify as atheist; 0.4% or who 766,000 identify as Hindu; and 0.3% or 629,000 who identify as Unitarian Universalist.
According to the same study, the major Christian denominations (making up the vast majority of faiths actively practiced in the United States) are (in order): Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Pentecostal (aka charismatic or evangelical), Episcopalian, Latter-Day Saints, Church of Christ and Congregational.
According to other studies, as reported by the Statistical Abstract of the United States (the U.S. Census does not query about religion, so non-governmental sources are used), Americans' self-reported religious affiliations are 56% Protestant Christianity, 27% Catholic Christianity, 2% Judaism, 1% Orthodox Christianity, 1% Mormon Christianity, 5% "other specific" and 8% "other" or "did not designate." Some 68% of Americans are members of a place of worship, and 44% attend that place of worship regularly.
Most jobs are based on a 40-hour work week, that is, five days (Monday through Friday), eight hours per day. The United States has minimum wage laws requiring a minimum wage for many employees, though a number of employment sectors are excluded. Some states have higher minimum wages than the wage mandated by the federal government.
Paid vacations are usually two weeks. Other company benefits include sick days and personal days.
Americans usually retire at the age of 65, but may retire earlier if their pension plans permit it.
The trend over the past few decades has been for more and more couples deciding to "live together" before or instead of getting married. The 2000 Census reported 9.7 million different-sex partners living together and about 1.3 million same-sex partners living together. These cohabitation arrangements have not been the subject of many laws regulating them, though many states now have domestic partner laws that confer some legal support for unmarried couples.
Marriage laws are established by each individual state. Same-sex marriage is currently (as of 2004) legal only in the state of Massachusetts. In many states it is illegal to cross state lines to obtain a marriage that would be illegal in the home state. Married couples typically reside in their own separate dwelling rather than living with others or with their parents.
In the early to mid-20th century, the father typically was the sole wage earner and the mother was the children's principal caregiver. Today, often both parents hold jobs. Dual-earner families are the predominant type for families with children in the US. Increasingly, one of the parents has a non-standard shift, that is a shift that does not start in the morning and end in the late afternoon. In these families, one of the parents manages the children while the other works.
Before they start school, adequate day care of children is necessary for dual-earner families. In recent years, many private companies and home-based day care centers have sprung up to fulfill this need. Increasingly, corporate sponsorship of day care is occurring as well as government assistance to parents requiring day care.
In the single-parent household, the mother typically raises the children with little to no help from the father. This parent is the sole breadwinner of the family and thus these households are particularly vulnerable economically. They have higher rates of poverty, and children of these households are more likely to have educational problems.
Cultural differences in the various regions of the United States are explored in the New England, Mid-Atlantic States, U.S. Southern States, Midwest, Southwest United States and The West pages.
Puerto Rico has a separate culture from the mainland United States.
One of the biggest differences in suburban living is the housing occupied by the families. The suburbs are filled with single-family homes separated from retail districts and industrial areas.
Intra-National Allegiances
Because of the size and large population of the country, America is often described as a nation of joiners who tend to self-associate with non-familial groups. Individuals tend to perceive themselves as "free agents" rather than bound by family or clan ties. Food

Main article: Education in the United States
Additionally, many children attend schools before they reach the age of five. These pre-schools are often private and not part of the public educational system although some public school systems include pre-schools.Public Education
Public education in the United States is provided by
the separate states, not the federal government.
It is free, but unlike many other countries, the US has no standard nationwide curriculum. Rather it is
up to the teachers and administrators
of the school districts to determine what is and is not
taught. Increasingly, statewide curricla are being developed. Also, as of 2003 there is increasing state and federal pressure to use standardized tests, which lead to a more uniform curriculum. Private Education
Most of the private institutions have traditionally been religious institutions, such as
Catholic schools, various Protestant schools and yeshivas. Some private secular schools, military schools and multi-lingual schools are available. Private secular and multi-lingual elementary and secondary education may cost $10,000 to $20,000
per year per student in large metropolitan areas, placing these schools out of reach of all but the most
wealthy of middle and upper class families. However, many of these schools, reflecting the American spirit of private charity, provide academic scholarships and need-based assistance. Religious schools vary in price, from nearly free to
costs on par with private secular schools. Poorer families may send their children to these lower priced
schools for a religious education, or because they consider the schools better than the available public schools. Home schooling is allowed in many states and is an alternative for a
small minority of households. The motivation for home schooling is often, but not always, religious.Higher Education
The United States is a great center of higher education, boasting more than 1,500 universities, colleges, and other institutions of higher learning. Language
Main article: Languages in the United StatesReligion
Main article: Religion in the United StatesWork and Jobs
Most people commute to work using automobiles rather than mass transit; the effect of the automobile on the United States is significant.Housing
Immediately after World War II, Americans began living in increasing
numbers in the suburbs, belts around major cities with
higher density than rural areas, but much lower than urban areas. This move has been attributed to many factors such as the automobile, the availability
of large tracts of land, the increasing violence in urban centers,
and the cheapness of housing. These new single-family houses were usually one or two stories tall, and often were part of large tracts of homes built by a single developer.Coupling rituals
The typical coupling in the United States involves two people of different sexes. Couples often meet through religious institutions, work, school, or friends. There are many private firms providing "dating services," services that are geared to assist individuals in finding partners. Marriage Ceremony
The typical wedding involves a couple proclaiming their commitment to one another in front of their close relatives and friends and presided over by a
religious figure such as a minister, priest or rabbi depending upon the faith of the couple. In Christian ceremonies, the general practice is for the bride's father to "give away" the bride to the groom. Secular weddings are also common, often presided over by a judge, Justice of the Peace or town clerk.Divorce
Divorce, like marriage, is the province of the state government, not the federal government. Divorce laws vary from state to state, but all states allow for divorce of
married couples. State law provides for child support where children are involved, and sometimes for alimony.Death rituals
Deaths are generally thought to be an occasion for grieving by the majority of Americans. Funerals are held to honor the "passing away" of the individual. The dead are placed in a coffin and are generally embalmed and often displayed in a chapel or funeral home before being buried in the ground. Unlike some Western European countries where the body remains in the cemetery for a limited period of time, e.g. 20 years, in the United States there is typically no limit. Cremation, an increasingly common practice, involves the burning of the body to ashes, which are then stored in an urn or scattered over a site significant to the deceased.Gender roles
Since the 1970s, traditional gender roles of male and female have been increasingly challenged by both legal and social means. Today, there are far fewer roles that are legally restricted by one's sex, though there are still cultural means of inhibiting such roles. More and more women have entered the workplace, and in the year 2000 made up 46.6% of the labor force, up from 18.3% in 1900. Most men however have not taken up the traditional full-time homemaker role, nor have they taken many of the traditionally female jobs, such as receptionists and nurses.Family Arrangements
Nuclear family living patterns
Beginning in the early 20th century, the two-parent family known as the nuclear family was the predominant American family type. Children live with their parents until they go away to a college or university, or until they acquire their own jobs and decide to move out into their own apartment
or home.Single parent living patterns
Single-parent households are households consisting of a single adult, typically a woman, and one or more children. These types of households have been increasing in number and today, the majority of black households are single parent households. For whites, Hispanics, and other races, the predominant family household is still the two-parent family.Regional Distinctions
See also: Regions of the United StatesVariations
Variations in the majority traditions occur due to class, racial, ethnic, religious, regional and other groups of people.Rural living patterns
The population of rural areas has been declining over time as more and more people migrate to cities for work and entertainment. The 1970s and 1980s saw the closure of many smaller farms across the US as small farmers were no longer able to make a profit from farming. Even in the rural areas, electricity and telephone service are available to all but the most remote regions, due in part to rural electrical cooperatives and the New Deal rural electrification projects. As in the cities, children attend school up to and including high school and only help with farming during the summer months or after school. However, the school schedule throughout the US is based on the assumption that children will be needed to work on farms during the summer.Suburban living patterns
Most Americans now live in what is known as the suburbs. The suburban nuclear family has been identified as part of the "American dream", a married couple with children owning a house in the suburbs. This archetype is reinforced by mass media, religious practices, and government policies and is based on traditions from Anglo-Saxon cultures. Urban living patterns
Aside from housing, which may include more apartments and semi-attached homes than in the suburbs or small towns, the major difference from suburban living is the diversity of many different subcultures with close proximity as well as retail and manufacturing buildings mixed with housing. Urban residents are also more likely to travel by mass transit, and children are more likely to walk or bicycle rather than being driven by their parents.Related topics
The Nacirema and their relationship to U.S. culture have been a topic for cultural anthropologists since the mid-1950s.External links

Boston blast injury toll up to 264—official
BOSTON, Massachusetts—A total of 264 people have been treated in Boston area hospitals for injuries suffered in the marathon bomb attacks, the city's public health commission said Tuesday.
The toll, up from around 200 on Monday, has been rising because people who suffered minor injuries in the blasts last week are only now going in for treatment, said commission spokeswoman Katinka Podmaniczky.
As of Tuesday morning, a total of 51 people remained hospitalized, she told AFP.
The blasts, allegedly carried out by two ethnic Chechens living legally in the United States, killed three people, one of them an eight-year-old boy.
The surviving suspect, 19-year-old Dzorkhar Tsarnaev, himself remains hospitalized with gunshot wounds. He has been charged with using a weapon of mass destruction and could face the death penalty if convicted.
His 26-year-old brother Tamerlan was killed in a shootout with police.

Kim Kardashian Goes Even Blonder In New Pics (Photos)
Kim Kardashian is loving her blonde hair so much, it looks like she's lighting up her locks even more. The reality television star and celebrity mom was spotted with even blonder hair while she was making her way to Kanye West's apartment in New York City on Monday afternoon.
To be honest with you, I'm on the fence with Kim's blonde hair. While I initially liked it when she debuted it a few months ago, I'll admit that it is making her look a bit tired and washed out. Maybe it's time to go back to her old roots?
Check out our photos below and let us know what you think.

NY Times Article: Has Snowboarding Lost Its Edge?

I wrote the damn thing in the heat of the moment after reading the article and getting pissed at the fact that the author seemed to imply that snowboarding was dying a slow death solely due to the fact that former riders were staying home and slaving behind a desk instead of pursuing their hobby. Dont know why I got so fired up about a NY Times article, but I guess it has been one of those days.
I think the thing that gets me is that I have plenty of friends that sit around all day in an office, come home, watch t.v. for hours, and then go to bed. Rinse and repeat, and that is their life. I think the bigger issue here is a commentary on the state of leisure activities in this country in general. Stats continue to show that Americans spend much less time pursuing leisure activities and far more time connected to their offices as compared other workers in the industrialized world, especially with the advent of cellphones, computers, pagers, and the like. I think that is what pisses me off. As a country, I think we are a bit too obsessed with our careers to the detriment of our passions, and yes, by extension, our families. Some of my fondest memories are from when I was a kid and my dad and I went skiing at the local mountains. That is what we need to get back to. I work a five day a week, 40 hour job as do most people, but I also make time for my interests. I dont have any kids, but if I did, I would be taking them with me to the mountain and teaching them how to ride.
We absolutely need to keep more people on the mountain, but we need return visitors more than anything else, not just people that come to try it for the day and never come back. We especially need young people to keep riding but of course that also requires parents that have enough free time to take them to the mountain. I want new people to learn the sport, and gapers will always be gapers, but I just think this is going to be difficult to do in the bullshit, cutthroat, capitalist-competitive paradigm that we live in where workers arent paid their fair share, and time off is more of a luxury than a right. As others have noted, this is especially true in this current piece of shit economy where many workers are held hostage by their jobs.
That is what the article was hinting at, it is where my frustration lies, and that is what I was trying to discuss as well. Sorry if I offended, it certainly wasnt my intent to piss anybody off.
I think this just boils down to the fact that you have lazy friends and it's time to make some new ones.
Instead of spending the day watching hours of TV after work, they could be doing something more productive.
Hell...after working 10 hours in the office, I still drive up to the slopes to get a few hours in at the park before going back home to pass out, it's just all about where your priorities are.

Another addition for the Bucket List
A small price to pay when you think about it.
Fact is, I suspect a lot of people could benefit from an Advanced Riding Clinic. Many people just start riding and never get proper training. They may do okay and think everything's fine, but then, they may never know what they are missing.
That was the case when I did the 3-day Skip Barber driving class. I found out I was a crappy driver who didn't know jack. You can't learn it all in 3 days, but you can learn what you should be doing and strive for it after the class ends. |

Sintra Hotels
Sintra has many beautiful hotels.
Lawrence's Hotel (5 stars)
The oldest one, and the second oldest in the world is Lawrence's. The name come from the first owner a british lady with last name Lawrence. Opened in 1764 it is a small (16 rooms), luxourious, charming, carefully restored hotel and close to the city centre. The downside are that some rooms are quite small and there are thin walls. In here passed many famous people including Lord Byron (that wrote here most of the book Childe Harold's Pilgrimage) that called Sintra an Eden, William Beckford, Bill Clinton, Margaret Tatcher or the portuguese writter Eça de Queirós. The hotel has also a good restaurant with nice views. The hotel was closed since the 60's and was reopened in 1999. The hotel has also a conference room. (see more in http://www.lawrenceshotel.com/).
Penha Longa Hotel & Golf Resort (5 Stars)
It was a former retreat of the portuguese Royal Family and is inside an old park (with 220 hectares) today with two golf courses (designed by the famous Robert Trent Jones II). It has also a XIV century monastery, a 1.500 sqm spa, a piano bar, swimming pools, fitness centre, limousine service, squash, jogging trails, conference rooms, 5 restaurants and stores. Although its 194 rooms it is quite calm the downside is that it is not at a walkable distance of Sintra you have to take a car or taxi, it can be a bit expensive and a bit cold and windy. (See more in www.penhalonga.com).
Tivoli Palácio de Seteais (5 Stars)
Recently restaured this hotel is indeed inside an XVIII century palace with great gardens and views. The palace was built by Daniel Gildemeester, at the time consul of Holland in Portugal. Later the regent prince D. João has done some works in the palace that has beautiful frescos. It has just 30 rooms, tennis court, swimming pool, restaurant and bar. The interiors of the palace are totally furbished with antiques and the hotel was recently under improvement works. It is not exactly in Sintra but it is possible to walk to there if you like walking. See more in http://www.tivolihotels.com.
Casa Miradouro (4 Stars)
A beautiful and small 6 bedroom manor house from XIX century close to the Sintra city centre (although you have to go through a steep narrow road to get there) and with great overlooks, nice gardens and beautiful cealings. The family management gaves to the place a certain charm. Downside are the thin walls. See more in http://www.casa-miradouro.com.
Pestana Sintra Golf and Spa Resort (4 stars)
Modern Hotel (opened in 2006), confortable, a bit away from Sintra with 137 rooms close to a golf course.It has all the modern conforts such as SPA, tennis and swimming pool. Limited choices in food is the biggest downside. See more in http://www.pestana.com.
Tivoli Sintra (4 stars)
The biggest asset of this hotel is its location, exactly in Sintra City Centre and it has 77 rooms. The hotel is a bit degradated and lacks some conforts of newer hotels and also insonorization. Its outside is a bit 70's ugly but has nice panoramic views. See more in www.tivolihotels.com
Quinta da Vigia
It is not in Sintra but in Colares a nearby town by the sea with a tram that connects them. However it is still a bit far away. With just 11 rooms it is a nice house to stay with its nice swimming pool and views over the sea. Has T1 and T2 apartments. Maintenance and cleanliness might be improved. See more in www.quintadavigia.com.
Quinta de Sao Tiagho
An historcal XVI century building with beautiful gardens and a swimming pool. The house is a fusion of the old and the new and has only 9 rooms. It is in Sintra mountain but a bit away from the city centre. It has a family environment but it is an old house with everything that has of good and bad. Food is good, there is a charming chapel and nice library but there is no internet. See more in www.booking.com.
5 Bed and Breakfast
A small beautiful apartment in an old house close to the city centre with good price/quality, excellent views and a very friendly english owner. There is a small indoor swimming pool. See more in http://www.stayatcinco.com/.

Sir Lawrence Hotel
The Lawrence's Hotel is a small and charming property renown for being the most ancient hotel in the Iberian Peninsula, and recognized for its privileged location in the heart of the historic Sintra Village, which is a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Famous for inspiring poets and several artists, the hotel is surrounded by mythical forests, ancient castles and palaces, and it is just 30 minutes away from Lisbon city.
Among its several services, the Lawrence's Hotel features a reception desk open 24 hours, a Wi-Fi Internet connection available in the lobby, reading and TV lounges, a fully equipped meeting room with a capacity of up to 45 people, a garden, a bar and a restaurant.
Quiet and Elegant
I was able to book a good deal on some British web site. My room was beautiful and decorated with simple antiques. The bathroom was not the most convenient, but it was fine. The breakfast room was magnificent, and there were several little lounges here and there.
The staff was helpful, but not fantastic. It is a touristic town, not a cultural exchange opportunity of course... Anyway, since it was pouring rain, I ended up spending the evening watching Alfred Hitchcock's "Marnie" dubbed in German, before dashing between raindrops to grab dinner nearby.
The night was extremely quiet (except for the wind). As a matter of fact, I did not see any other customers!
manor house
founded in 1764, it is the oldest hotel on the Iberian Peninsula. One of the most beautifull - and friendly - hotels one can come across, right in Sintra?s historic heart...small luxurious and intimate accommodation with lots of original character. claims to be oldest hotel in Portugal. and lord Byron is said to have stayed here, along with many others, like presidents and so. i've had the luck to find a very interesting price for one night stand that could not be turned down. i grabbed it.lawrence's
Unique Quality: homely intimate and beautifully restored, with many original features and antiques. small neat reception. cosy bar. delightful sitting room and library with armchairs. bright attractive restaurant extends to small terrace with fine views.
Directions: half a mile from tourist information centre, in old quarter on leafy street beside wooded ravine. shops, restaurants and bus stop and historic centre 2 minutes away.
Lawrence's Hotel, the oldest hotel on the Iberian Peninsula and the first of its kind in Europe has been operating since 1764. The Hotel became most known, after the ten days visit of Lord George Byron in 1809. Close to the centre of Sintra, Lawrence's offered excellent atmosphere in a very cosy and warm accommodation.
Oldest hotel in Europe
Lawrence's is said to be the oldest hotel in Europe. It is located just off the center of the historic town center. The rooms are clean and well lit and the staff is most helpful.
Unique Quality: The rooms are a bit small but ya can not beet the location.

Seshagiri, Polani B (2001) Molecular insights into the causes of male infertility. In: Journal of Biosciences, 26 (4). pp. 429-435.
Molecular_insights.pdf Download (57Kb) |
Infertility is a reproductive health problem that affects many couples in the human population. About 13–18% of couple suffers from it and approximately one-half of all cases can be traced to either partner. Regardless of whether it is primary or secondary infertility, affected couples suffer from enormous emotional and psychological trauma and it can constitute a major life crisis in the social context. Many cases of idiopathic infertility have a genetic or molecular basis. The knowledge of the molecular genetics of male infertility is developing rapidly, new spermatogenic genes are being discovered and molecular diagnostic approaches (DNA chips) established. This will immensely help diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to alleviate human infertility. The present review provides an overview of the causes of human infertility, particularly the molecular basis of male infertility and its implications for clinical practice.

Based on Milton's 17th Century poem, Alex Proyas's Paradise Lost will chronicle the sweeping war between good and evil after Lucifer is thrown out of Heaven and tries to claim the souls of mankind. Dick move, Bradley Cooper. Dick move. But not so fast. We have a Benjamin Walker here to stop you. The Benjamin Walker in question is Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter star, Benjamin Walker, who is in talks to join the project as the archangel Michael, the only angel powerful enough to fight his brother Lucifer.
With small appearances in Flags Of Our Fathers and Kinsey before freeing the slaves from vampire rule, this is a big role for Walker. Says Proyas of the film, "It's not just armies battling in an epic war. This is an adventure about the origins of good and evil after Lucifer's rebellion gets him cast out of Heaven and leads to a struggle with his brother archangel over the soul of mankind, starting with Adam and Eve. That is the scope of the narrative here, and we've tried to stay as faithful as possible to Milton's text, particularly its focus on Lucifer's evolution and the birth of evil. It's a family saga, about a group on brothers, two in particular, who are on divergent paths, and Lucifer's feelings of betrayal by his father and family that forge his descent into evil."
Staying as faithful as possible to Milton's text without switching the "s"'s out for "f"'s, of course. Man, history is a weird place. (Deadline)

It's difficult to realize or summarize everything our parents provided, but acknowledging their gifts is an important step toward self awareness.
Throughout our adult life we sort through what our parents offered. We decide what we want to keep, what we want to let go of, and what we want to expand on. It's a necessary and important exercise, and it helps us figure out what we want to pass on to our children.
My parents gave my sister and I many gifts; my favorites being open mindedness, rationality, kindness, and the realization that we are here to support others.
My sister and I have been able to take these gifts and continue learning….both of us feel tuned into energy and a deeper sense of self, and we know for sure that life is about relationships and love.
So I decided to ask my parents a few questions about their intentions….what were some of their hopes and dreams when raising us?
The questions:
1. What was your greatest concern when you were parenting us?
2. What was your hope for us?
3. What was the greatest "gift" of parenting (what did it give you)?
4. What do you know now, that you didn't know then, that might help parents today?
My mom and her answers:
My mom is Judy Cassani and she is a retired 6th grade teacher. I think I felt some pressure being a teacher's child, but I was also very lucky because kids would often tell me that she was their favorite teacher; she is very easy to like.
My mom has always been open minded to holistic health, and I was raised with alternative ways of healing. She has always been interested in self care and wellness, and I find all of my favorite self help books on her shelf. It's easy to make my mom laugh and she is most happy when she is with her family.
1. After safety and health, learning to "play well with others".
2. That you would be happy in and with your life...whatever "happy" meant to you, not us.
3. Unconditional love.
4. That we should have had more humor, fun, and "play time" together.
My dad and his answers:
My dad is John Cassani, a retired educator and administrator. My dad has always been very focused on helping others and making sure that everyone has an opportunity for education and employment. He is also a believer in the power of the mind, and he calls on "Cassani luck" to help him through difficult times and to locate rock star parking spaces.
Against the odds my dad survived a heart attack and stroke 11 years ago, and he lost some of his ability to communicate. But he also found his smile - if you look at photographs from my childhood he is serious, but for the last 11 years he has smiled for every picture.
1. Hoping you would choose good friends.
2. That you would be happy and successful in your life - in your eyes.
3. That you were able to become successful adults.
4. That you need to relax and enjoy your family more.
And now I pass these questions on to you. Offer them (and some of your own) to your parents or loved ones, and don't forget to answer these questions for yourself. Are your daily experiences moving you toward or away from these hopeful outcomes?
Maybe this exercise will help you see your parents more clearly, or yourself more clearly.
Maybe it will offer a new perspective, a new direction, or a way to bring greater clarity to your day to day life as parent.
Hopefully you will feel a sense of gratitude, for what you have been given and what you have to offer.

Date | Time | Opponent | Broadcast |
Tues, Dec. 31 | 7:05 pm CST | @ Bloomington | CD Country 107.9 FM / Live Video |
Wed, Jan. 1 | 5:15 pm CST | Vs. Bloomington | CD Country 107.9 FM / Live Video |
Faceoff on New Year's Day is set for 5:15 p.m. at Carver Arena, two hours earlier than originally scheduled. If your ticket was printed in advance and says 7:15 p.m., that is incorrect.
On Wednesday, come ring in the New Year with the Peoria Rivermen as they battle Bloomington at 5:15 p.m. at Carver Arena. The team will wear special edition New Year's Day jerseys that night, which will be auctioned off after the game, and it's also a guaranteed win night! If the home team doesn't come away with the victory, your ticket is good for the January 11 home game against the Thunder. In addition, fans can purchase a four-pack of upper bowl tickets to Wednesday's game for just $20.14! That's a savings of nearly $30!
Tuesday and Wednesday will mark the eighth and ninth meetings respectively this season between the Rivermen (10-9-3) and Thunder (8-15-0) – who will faceoff a total of 17 times. Following a 4-1 loss in Peoria on Dec. 22, the Rivermen are currently 6-1-0 overall against Bloomington and 3-0-0 against the Thunder at the U.S. Cellular Coliseum. Peoria is in a stretch where it will play six of its next eight games against Bloomington.
The Rivermen (10-9-3) enter their New Year's Eve tilt at Bloomington on a two-game slide after falling on the road to the Columbus Cottonmouths last Friday and the Huntsville Havoc last Saturday. Overall, Peoria has dropped three of its last five games, but remains the hottest team in the SPHL over its last 10 games with a 7-3-0 record. On Saturday, the Rivermen got goals from Nick Wheeler and Garrett Vermeersch, but dropped a 5-2 final to Huntsville in the final game of a three-in-three series. Rookie goaltender Eric Levine (7-6-3) was pulled midway through the second period and suffered the loss with 18 saves on 22 shots.
Peoria concludes a four-game road trip on Tuesday, which began last Thursday in Columbus, Georgia, and made a stop in Huntsville, Alabama, last Saturday. Overall, the Rivermen are in a stretch where they play seven of eight games on the road, including a stop in Biloxi, Mississippi for the first time Jan 3-4. Peoria is currently 5-5-1 on the road this season and is led offensively by Nick Prockow (4g, 5a) and Tyler Amburgey (4g, 3a) away from Carver Arena.
The Thunder enter New Year's Eve with the SPHL's longest current win streak – 3 games – after sweeping Fayetteville in a pair of games on the road last weekend. However, Bloomington has dealt with a handful of call-ups over the last two weeks, including the departure of Kevin Walrod (Evansville), Sy Nutkevitch (Fort Wayne), Dustin Hopfner (Evansville) and Paul Arnott (Greenville), who were all promoted to the ECHL.
On Monday, the Rivermen lost two of their top three scorers when Garrett Vermeersch (ECHL Fort Wayne) and Parker Stanfield (ECHL Florida) were each called up for the second time this season. Vermeersch led the Rivermen in both goals (14) and points (27), and was on a career-high 10-game point streak (8g, 8a) at the time of his promotion. Stanfield on the other hand led the team with 16 assists and was second on the roster with 49 PIM. Against Bloomington, Vermeersch and Stanfield had combined for 26 of Peoria's 98 points this season (26.5%).
After scoring at least four goals in six straight games from Nov. 29 to Dec. 21, Peoria has now scored two goals or less in each of its last four contests and has gone 1-3-0 during that span. Overall, the Rivermen remain fourth in the league with 3.09 goals per game, but have outscored the Thunder 34-20 this year. In addition, Peoria has outscored Bloomington 16-5 on the road this season.
Dating back to Dec. 21, the Rivermen have scored just two goals in their last 29 chances on the power play (6.9%). However, in seven games this year against Bloomington, Peoria is 14-for-51 (27.5%) on the man advantage including a 30.4% conversion rate at home. On the flip side, Peoria is just 8-for-86 on the power play (9.3%) against all other teams this year not named Bloomington.
For the first time since Nov. 9, Rivermen center Dean Yakura will be in the lineup after spending more than a month on the injured reserve with a knee injury. In three games with Peoria this season, the 28-year-old has recorded one point (assist), which came Nov. 9 against the Mississippi River Kings.
Peoria went 5-2-0 on New Year's Eve and 2-0-1 on New Year's Day during the team's AHL era…The Rivermen are currently 6-1-0 when scoring first and a perfect 8-0-0 when leading after two.

Local Celebrity will be featured today at 4:21 PST (yes that is the time the segment will run) on the Phillipine newscast of LA18.tv here in LA and across the USA. If you have cable here in LA turn to channel 18 to check it out.

Martin Margiela Looks Back over Twenty Maison Years for Spring 2009
>> In what could very well be his last collection, given all the rumors about his exit, Martin Margiela went the retrospective route for his twentieth anniversary collection — it would be a very fitting end, no? All of the models were faceless — a nod to the designer's obsession with anonymity — and the house uniform, a white lab coat, came out in various forms, including during the final bow, when the entire staff emerged on the runway rather than Margiela himself. A hit parade of plastic bags, disco balls, bustier catsuits, Barbie clothes, and AIDS T-shirts led into the final look: a giant silk birthday cake, with two pairs of legs underneath. Was it Margiela's final look ever?

A payment processing company that debited more than $200 million from consumers' bank accounts on behalf of fraudulent telemarketers has settled charges by the Federal Trade Commission and seven states that it abetted its clients' deceptive schemes.
Your Money Access, LLC, a Florida-based company that went out of business in 2008, participated in a patently illegal operation that hinged on its willingness to provide access to the banking system and process unauthorized debits, the complaint states.
According to the FTC and seven states, YMA between June 2004 and March 2006 processed numerous unsigned paper checks, using consumers' bank routing and account numbers. These were provided by telemarketers who were allegedly violating the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule. In some cases, payments were made to YMA, and in others to YMA's client merchants.
In exchange for accessing consumers' bank accounts, YMA received a processing fee and, if a transaction was returned or rejected, a much higher "return fee." These fees formed a substantial source of income for the company, leading it to initiate transactions whether they were likely to be declined or not, the lawsuit claims. More than $69 million of the attempted debits were rejected or disputed by consumers or their banks.
YMA maintained accounts with Wachovia Bank, which according to the FTC helped perpetuate the fraud. The bank, since taken over by Wells Fargo, agreed in 2008 to issue more than $150 million in redress checks to consumers defrauded by YMA and two other payments processors.
Under the settlement, YMA's former president, Derrelle Janey, is banned from participating in the processing of payments debited from consumers' bank accounts, and permanently prohibited from aiding anyone who is violating the Telemarketing Sales Rule. The order imposes a $625,000 judgment, of which Janey has paid $15,000 so far.

The Olympic torch was shown live on television last night as part of the London relay.
Millions watched the EastEnders character Billy Mitchell carry the torch live on BBC One as part of the soap opera's storyline. The flame passed through many of the famous landmarks within the fictional London borough of Walford including the Queen Vic public house.
"It's been like waiting for seven months for the extra time in a football match – and knowing you have to take a penalty," explained Perry Fenwick, the actor who plays Billy.
He told the Sun newspaper: "The nightmares have been getting worse and I keep waking up in a cold sweat. The problem is that you can't ignore the Olympics."
Many artists have embraced the hosting of the Olympic Games and for those staying in central London hotels there are a large number of exhibitions to choose from.
Today the Olympic Flame continues its journey to the Olympic stadium. Gold medal rower James Cracknell will start the relay at the Hook Community Centre in Kingston before it travels through the famous Kew Gardens and on to the London borough of Ealing. One of the major highlights of the 67th day of the flame's travels is a trip on a London Underground train.
The flame will be carried by London Underground Service Operator, John Light, on a train decorated in Olympic rings from Wimbledon to Wimbledon Park.
With just three days to go until the opening ceremony of the Games, there is limited opportunity for those enjoying stays in central London hotels to see the torch relay as it heads to the main Olympic venue in time for the show on Friday night.

17.01.05 - By Mike Indri: While most people know that today is the 63rd birthday of world-renowned, all-time great heavyweight champion and hall-of-fame boxer Muhammad Ali; only the truly observant boxing fan knows that former middleweight contender Alex Ramos shares his birthday with "the greatest of all time".. Ramos, forty-four years old today, did manage to win the USBA Middleweight Championship - in a grueling twelve round decision victory over Philadelphia's Curtis Parker (this war was voted 1984 "fight of the year), and compiled a stellar professional record of 39 wins against 10 losses and 2 draws (25 knockouts). As an amateur Ramos amassed an unbelievable 189 victories (132 wins by knockout!) with only 9 losses, also won an unprecedented four New York Golden Gloves Championships and was touted to win an Olympic gold medal - had President Carter not boycotted the 1980 games in Moscow. While these achievements would make any person proud, they actually pale in comparison to the work that Alex "The Bronx Bomber" has been accomplishing outside the boxing ring. Upon his retirement from boxing in 1995, Ramos -like so many boxers- encountered his hardest fight of all. The cheering stops, the phone doesn't ring, and all those so-called friends or "hangers-on" have moved on. Without any "real-life" acquired skills, having to deal with unscrupulous managers, promoters, etc.. as well as battling depression and the effects of pugilistic dementia (the medical term for "punch drunk") the outside world can be a very rough, cold and scary place for the unprepared retired boxer. Determined to make a difference Ramos founded the Retired Boxers Foundation, which was formally incorporated in 1998 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation. Helping hundreds of fighters annually the "RBF" has been able to secure medical services, housing, rehabilitation and emergency assistance for these former great athletes. Restoring the pride and dignity to all ex-fighters who have lost hope; helping those who are suffering medically or financially; or just getting the word out to the young and current boxer that there are services available; keeps Ramos, Jacquie Richardson (the RBF Exective Director) and all the RBF volunteers very busy. Still, too many of these fighters who have thrilled us over the years- whether on HBO or SHOWTIME fighting for a championship belt or at a local arena fighting a four rounder- face retirement without any kind of financial assistance or access to medical care.
