Written by Debbie Reynolds and Dorian Hannaway, "Unsinkable," a memoir of Debbie Reynolds' messy life after middle age overtook the bubbly teenager who spent decades starring in MGM musicals, is not a good book, but it's worth reading.
In dull and pedestrian language, "Unsinkable" – which will be published today, (April 2) one day after Reynolds' 81st birthday – tells the fascinating story of a third marriage gone disastrously wrong. The disaster began on their honeymoon cruise. Richard Hamlett had invited three women to join them, something Reynolds didn't find out until they were at sea. She was at sea, figuratively at least, for the next decade. Her husband kept a mistress, forged "Reynolds' signature so he could put her property in his name, "borrowed" money from her pension fund, and transferred the property he had stolen from her to his girlfriend. In the divorce settlement he was awarded $8.9 million. She collected almost nothing.
Nowhere does Reynolds or the co-writer who turned her words into a book seriously answer the question of how the actress could have been hooked, at the age of 52, by a con man after her equally disastrous second marriage to a gambling rich man, Harry Karl, cost her all the money she had saved and left her millions of dollars in debt.
"I was a romantic," she says, in an attempt to explain. "It never ceases to amaze me that people feel free to help themselves to my money and property. There is a mentality at work that says, 'It's okay to rob Debbie blind, I work for her.' Or, 'She's my wife, everything she has is mine.' I don't think like a thief, so I never see this quality in others until it's too late."
Reynolds' first marriage, which ended when Eddie Fisher left her for Elizabeth Taylor, is barely mentioned. Nor is there much about her daughter, writer-actress Carrie Fisher except the harrowing story of Fisher's overdose in London when Reynolds' was about to be married to Hamlett. Carrie was in a London hotel room. She hadn't overdosed but had taken too many pills because she was ill. When she didn't answer her phone and the hotel refused to let a staff member check the room, Debbie sent her trusted pal Ava Gardner, who was in London, to the hotel to take care of things.
Reynolds' third husband cannot be blamed for all of her financial problems. She purchased a Las Vegas hotel without getting a gaming license. One reason she bought the hotel was to have a home for the Hollywood costume collection into which she had poured her passion, her energy, and her money for decades. For a few years the hotel housed her museum. But, eventually, she lost the hotel.

Thanks Ben, it is surprisingly good but it's not a K5 - close but not quite there at iso 100.
It is so handy to use though, I keep it in the glove box.

New officer named to Killington policeFebruary 25,2014KILLINGTON — The Killington Police Department has added a second part-time officer.
Cheri McDermott has been named as the newest member of the town's municipal force. McDermott comes to Killington from Castleton, where she has been a police officer since 2005.
McDermott has worked in law enforcement since 2001 when she joined the Rutland County Sheriff's Department. Prior to that, she worked for three years as the loss prevention manager for one of Rutland's major retailers. McDermott also served for four years in the U.S. Coast Guard. She is a graduate of Community College of Vermont, and received her full-time police officer certification from Vermont Police Academy.
The new officer position adds approximately 10 more hours of weekly patrol coverage to the town. Since transitioning from a constable department to a municipal police department, the Killington Police Department now consists of a police chief and two part-time officers. Vermont State Police continue to provide patrols when the department is not on duty.

PORTLAND — There was a "Red Out" in the Rose Garden Thursday night, the entire arena donning red shirts in a promotion presented by Google.
Appropriate sponsor, because the Blazers were searching for answers all night — and eventually, they clicked.
Trying to get back to a .500 record, Portland spent the entire first half trying to solve the riddle that was Orlando center Dwight Howard.
But when the second half rolled around, it was the Blazers who couldn't be stopped, rolling past the Magic, 97-83.
And after dropping six straight games, Portland has now won three in a row.
Was this the biggest win of the year? Blazers guard Wesley Matthews was asked after the game.
"Yeah, we think so," he said. "We were tired of losing. Have you ever lost (six) times in a row in anything? It's not a good feeling."
Howard scored 39 points and grabbed 15 rebounds. Twenty-six of those points came in the first half, in which he hit 10 of 12 shots, sunk all six of his free throws and essentially got any shot he wanted.
In fact, at one point in the first quarter, Howard singlehandedly led Portland, 16-14.
But if the 6-foot-11 center is "Superman," Thursday, he had to contend with the Fantastic Four.
The Blazers quartet of Matthews, Andre Miller, LaMarcus Aldridge and Nicolas Batum kept the Blazers in the game — cutting a once 14-point deficit down to one by the end of the half. Then Portland locked down on defense and unleashed its offense.
Between Aldridge, Marcus Camby and Joel Przybilla, Portland's big men kept Howard out of the paint and forced the MVP candidate to shoot jump shots and jump hooks, which weren't nearly as effective.
At the same time, Howard's teammates embraced their team name and essentially disappeared — Jameer Nelson, Vince Carter and Rashard Lewis combining to hit just 10 of 36 field goal attempts.
"We knew (Howard) was going to get his points … but we were trying to keep the guys around him down, especially protecting the 3-point line," said Camby, who tallied 13 rebounds. "And Dwight was hitting his free throws in the first half (6 for 6 in the first half, 13 for 18 for the game). We had it on the board that he shot 54 percent from the line, and it seems like whenever we put that on the board, they play well from the free-throw line."
The Blazers, meanwhile, got a little something from everybody.
Andre Miller, who missed Tuesday night's game due to a suspension, scored 22 points on 9 of 15 shooting, dished out eight assists and grabbed seven rebounds. Wesley Matthews added 20 points, Batum 15 and Aldridge 14.
Thursday marked the Blazers' second consecutive victory over a team with a winning record. However, there will be plenty of plus .500 teams to come.
Portland (11-11) begins a four-game road trip in Phoenix today, and then will play San Antonio (18-3) Sunday, Memphis (9-14) Monday and Dallas (18-4) Wednesday.
"(This) was a much needed win before you go on a road trip where you play some top team," Miller said.
The Magic (15-7) lost their third in a row.
• Miller said at shootaround Thursday that while he couldn't appeal the one-game suspension the NBA issued him after pummeling Blake Griffin on Sunday, he did appeal the lost money. Miller, who called the league "soft" in a seething tirade Wednesday, said he researched a host of videos, including Derek Fisher elbowing Houston's Luis Scola in the 2009 conference semifinals, that appeared equally violent but did not result in a suspension.
"I'm going to make a big deal of it," Miller said.
• Blazers coach Nate McMillan acknowledged before the game that getting back to .500 was significant.
"It's something we've been trying to get to," McMillan said. "When you fall behind .500, you want to get back, and then you want to go beyond it. But getting to .500 is something we'd like before we go back on the road

Skip to comments.The FReeper Foxhole Profiles William "Buffalo Bill" Cody - Aug. 2nd, 2004
Posted on 08/01/2004 10:45:00 PM PDT by SAMWolf
Not all famous people or events made headline news. William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) and his Wild West Exhibition are prime examples. Although he was one of the most popular men of his day and generated untold column inches of publicity, most of them appeared on the inside pages.
The earliest is a two column by eleven inch ad from the New York Times of November 16, 1869. It was for the first publication of the first installation of the first Buffalo Bill dime novel -- Buffalo Bill, The King of Border Men -- written by Ned Buntline. The serial was to begin in the December 23 issue of The New York Weekly. Buntline had met young Bill Cody in the fall of that year, and this dime novel story initiated the tremendous interest in Buffalo Bill. (This remains my favorite among all my clippings.)
During his stage career he also continued to act as an army scout during the Indian Wars, and many of these clippings carry reports of Indian battles. The first to mention Buffalo Bill by name is from the New York Herald, September 5, 1876, in a report from General Terry's camp on Powder River while the army was attempting to trap Sitting Bull's band of savages following the Custer massacre. (It erroneously reported that Sitting Bull had fallen in the Battle of Little Big Horn.)
Another article in this same paper states that Buffalo Bill had had a falling out with both Generals Terry and Crook, and had said, "General, I am through with this expedition. Give me my vouchers for services rendered... It is now, and has been for some time, apparent to my mind that neither you nor Crook intend to fight, and you won't let them ... if you will come I will take you to the Indian encampment on the Rosebud in 36 hours."
Buffalo Bill started a Wild West Exhibition in 1883 with Doc Carver under the name "Rocky Mountain and Prairie Exhibition". The partners argued and split up, and in 1884 Buffalo Bill teamed up with Salsbury and Bogardus to put the expedition on the road under the name "Buffalo Bill's Wild West". My first newspaper ad for the reactivated Wild West is from the part of that 1884 first season before Bogardus left the show. The name of the newspaper or exact date in unknown.
During 1914 and 1915 Buffalo Bill traveled with the Sells Floto Circus, which advertised in the Stockton Daily Evening Herald on May 4, 1914 as "Sells Floto Circus & Buffalo Bill Himself", in which "Col. W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) Appears in Parade and Performance." In 1916, the year before his death, he appeared with the Miller Bros. 101 Ranch Shows. The Boston Evening Transcript of June 10, 1916 advertises this show as "Miller and Arlington Wild West Show Co. -- Buffalo Bill (Himself.)"
Many of these clippings are interviews with Buffalo Bill and articles about the appearances of the Wild West Show, but there are too many to detail here.
| I first met Mr. Cody, October, 1868, at Buffalo Station, on the Kansas Pacific railroad, in Kansas. He was scout and guide for the seven companies of the Fifth Cavalry, then under Colonel Royal, and of which I was ordered to take the command.
From his services with my command, steadily in the field for nine months, from October, 1868, to July, 1869, and at subsequent times, I am qualified to bear testimony to his qualities and character.
He was very modest and unassuming. I did not know for a long time how good a title he had to the appellation, 'Buffalo Bill.' I am apt to discount the claims of scouts, as they will occasionally exaggerate; and when I found one who said nothing about himself, I did not think much of him, till I had proved him. He is a natural gentleman in his manners as well as in character, and has none of the roughness of the typical frontiersman.
W.F. Cody's Congressional Medal of Honor. Shown verso. Bronze, ribbon. April 26, 1872.
He can take his own part when required, but I have never heard of his using a knife or a pistol, or engaging in a quarrel where it could be avoided. His personal strength and activity are such that he can hardly meet a man whom he cannot handle, and his temper and disposition are so good that no one has reason to quarrel with him.
His eyesight is better than a good field glass; he is the best trailer I ever heard of; and also the best judge of the 'lay of country,' - that is, he is able to tell what kind of country is ahead, so as to know how to act.
He is a perfect judge of distance, and always ready to tell correctly how many miles it is to water, or to any place, or how many miles have been marched.
Mr. Cody seemed never to tire and was always ready to go, in the darkest night or the worst weather, and usually volunteered, knowing what the emergency required. His trailing, when following Indians or looking for stray animals or game, is simply wonderful. He is a most extraordinary hunter. I could not believe that a man could be certain to shoot antelope running till I had seen him do it so often.
In a fight Mr. Cody is never noisy, obstreperous or excited. In fact, I never hardly noticed him in a fight, unless I happened to want him, or he had something to report, when he was always in the right place, and his information was always valuable and reliable.

Folks, I'm going to be away from the computer room today to go shopping with our company. I'll be back later today.
Read: Isaiah 61:1-3
The Lord has anointed Me . . . to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning. Isaiah 61:1,3
Bible In One Year: Psalms 60-62; Romans 5
There's a story of an eccentric old man who carried an oil can with him everywhere he went. If he passed through a squeaky door or a stiff gate, he applied oil to the hinges. His practice of lubricating made life easier for those who followed after him.
Nearly every day we encounter people whose lives creak and grate harshly with problems. In such situations we face two choiceseither to aggravate their problems with a spirit of criticism or to lubricate their lives in the Spirit of Christ.
Some people we meet carry unbearable burdens and long for the oil of a sympathetic word. Others are defeated and feel like giving up. Just one drop of encouragement could restore their hope. Still others are mean and sin-hardened. Such people can become pliable toward the saving grace of Christ through regular applications of the oil of kindness.
When we receive Christ as our Savior and Lord, the Holy Spirit indwells us and equips us to bless others. If we're prepared to pour out God's oil of helpfulness every day and everywhere, beginning at home, we'll minister Christ's beauty and the oil of joy to many hurting people.
Perhaps the old man with the oil can wasn't so eccentric after all. Joanie Yoder

The Difference Between Them (KERRY TO GIVE NUCLEAR FUEL TO IRAN)
John Kerry regards an Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism armed with nuclear weapons as unacceptable. He has a multiple-part strategy that is much more realistic than the Bush administration's. One is to rejoin and work through the international legal framework on arms control. That will give greater force to the major powers if they have to deal with violators. Secondly, he has laid out, I think in the most comprehensive way in modern memory, a program to secure nuclear materials around the worldparticularly in the former Soviet Union but also in the places where research reactors have existed that could be susceptible to proliferation. The point is to try to prevent Iran from ever getting this material surreptitiously. Thirdly, he has proposed that rather than letting the British, the French and the Germans do this themselves, that we together call the bluff of the Iranian government, which claims that its only need is energy. And we say to them: "Fine, we will provide you the fuel that you need if Russia fails to provide it." Participating in such a diplomatic initiative makes it more likely to succeed.

He is supposed to have won the name "Buffalo Bill" in an eight-hour shooting match with a hunter named William Comstock, presumably to determine which of the two Buffalo Bills deserved the title.
PETA would throw a sissy fit!
Thanks, Sam. You expressed this so well.
But all too soon Buffalo Bill did die on January 30, 1917. His illness, death and funeral plans were reported in many newspapers. My personal favorite, simple but revealing the nation's sense of loss, is a cartoon from the Boston Records of January 15. A young boy is seated at a table, head resting on his arms, with his faithful dog looking on with a sorrowful expression. A picture of Buffalo Bill is on the wall, the "History of the Wild West" is opened on the table, and a newspaper headlined "Buffalo Bill is Dead" is lying on the floor. A simple cartoon tells it all.
It is interesting to note they took his medal back a year before he died. That must have really hurt him. He must have had some enemies. I wonder what "brave" soul was behind the reason for doing that who could attack the reputation of an aging old man and stab him in the back like that.
I have an irresistable urge to say EEEEEEhah!
I'll bet he charmed the ladies, too.
Mornin' alfa6.

Address: 3075 West Clark Road Suite 209
Ypsilanti, MI 48197-1103
Practice: Dentists
Choosing a dentist in Ypsilanti is not a fun task. Despite the fact that dental work is no fun, picking the best dentist will make it better. There are lots of options when it comes to choosing a dentist, and choosing the right one can have a major impact on your experience. In this article we'll discuss some secrets to selecting the best dentist.
The first thing you should do is choose a dentist that is seasoned. There are tons of inexperienced dentists and low quality dental offices. While you will find some good young dentists, it is significantly better to find a dentist who has at least five years of professional experience. If you're getting major dental work done like a crown, you definitely need someone with practical knowledge.
Ask your friends and family for any advice they may have. Just like the majority of services, people tend to go to the same specialists when they find a good one. You may also research potential dentists to get a good grasp of their practice. This is effective specifically if you cannot get any recommendations. It may be worth checking out if you find one who has a lot of good reviews.
Some things to consider are dentists in Ypsilanti who promote super low prices. Dentistry is similar to most other things for the reason that, you get what you pay for. In these type of practices you aren't going to get a great deal of one on one attention. Also, avoid dentists who use routine sedation. For young kids this is ok, but for the majority of adults being sedated is not required for dental work.
It is always a smart idea to call the dental offices and read more about their service. If you ask a lot of questions and follow the hints above, you should have few problems when it comes time to choose a dentist in zip code 48197.
Have you actually went to Parmenter Thomas A DDS? If so please give a precise review.

Revd. Peter and Anne Findley
Peter and Anne have been married for 35 years, have three adult children and two grandchildren. They have a vision for the Kingdom of God, to see people come to faith, be empowered in their God-given calling and to see communities changed.
When they are not working, they enjoy walking, especially hills and mountains, relaxing with friends, and most kinds of games, and they are looking forward to exploring the Peak District!
Communities & Training Leadership Team
Revd. Mike Rutter
Karim & Azam Novi
Sam Evans
Andy Niblock
Andrew Buckley
Church Board of Trustees
Accountability is a high value for us so our paid leaders work in close conjunction with our church wardens who are mature Christians drawn from within the body that help shape vision and direction and hold our staff team accountable.
Church Council
The Church Council is a significant group. It is selected by and from our group of key leaders from across each of the three church bases. It represents the wider body of the church in shaping the church's vision, direction and action as well as offering accountability and support to our senior leaders. It meets 6 times a year for interactive discussion (3 times from a Philadelphia perspective and 3 times as a whole church), honest opinion and prayerful response to the many opportunities and challenges of our growing church.

Important Update: Beginning on or around April 25, 2016, and ending on or around June 18, 2016, Class Members in the Schlesinger v. Ticketmaster Class Action Settlement will be sent via email a notice regarding Discount and Ticket Codes. For information regarding the benefit Codes discussed in the notice, please review Frequently Asked Questions 17 through 20 on this website. Please be patient while notices are sent. If you have not received a notice email by June 18, 2016, please contact the Claims Administrator at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you bought tickets from www.ticketmaster.com between October 21, 1999 and February 27, 2013, you may be entitled to benefits from a Class Action Settlement.
Five Ticketmaster customers filed a class action lawsuit claiming that Ticketmaster's Order Processing Fees and UPS Expedited Delivery Prices of tickets are excessive and deceptive. Ticketmaster disputes each of Plaintiffs' claims.
Who is a Class Member?
You are a Class Member if you purchased tickets on Ticketmaster's website ("Website") from October 21, 1999 through February 27, 2013 ("Class Period"), and you paid money to Ticketmaster for an Order Processing Fee ("OPF") that was not fully refunded. You must also have been a resident of the United States at the time of your purchase and not have opted out of this Class previously. Additionally, you are also a "UPS Subclass Member" if you purchased UPS delivery in connection with your purchase of tickets over the Website.
What are the benefits of the Settlement?
Under the Settlement, Ticketmaster will issue approximately $386 million in Discount Codes to Class Members, which will be good for four years and will allow Class Members to receive discounts for future ticket purchases and/or receive additional discounts on future UPS ticket deliveries. If Class Members do not use at least $42 million worth of codes, Ticketmaster has agreed to make free tickets for certain events available to Class Members on a first come, first served basis. Ticketmaster will make enough of the free tickets available to make up for the difference between the amount of discounts that are redeemed and $42 million.

text: THE desire to go on pilgrimage, need not be very strong in any man of English blood to take him, if he is in England, to Stratford-on-Avon. My readers may remember that the elegant woman who, while I had the pleasure of being her railway companion, earnestly advised me to read "Kenilworth" also informed me, before she suspected my nationality, that all "Americans" go to Stratford. She meant, of course, all who go to England; in which she was not quite right. To a great many of the "Americans" who do go to England (I am sorry to say to much the greater number of them) that country is a mere patch of the earth's surface over which they must pass to get to Paris. In London they do look in upon the Abbey or the Tower, and, if they are there in the season, delight our minister by sending him demands for invitations to balls and for presentation at court; but beyond this, and perhaps a visit to Brighton, their endeavor to make acquaintance with England rarely goes. But most of the "Americans" who do desire to know something more of England than may be learned by a railway journey from Liverpool to London and from London to Dover visit Stratford; the proportion of these being very much larger, I am sure, than that of the cultivated Britons who render his personal homage to him whose works are our richest common inheritance.

AbstractA new type of a photon-counting photodetector is proposed to advance the state-of the-art in deep space optical communications technology. The proposed detector would operate at 1064 and 1550 nm, and combine high speed of operation with very gain and ultra low noise. The minimal expected parameters are a bandwidth of over 500 MHz (10 GHz might be possible), internal gain of over 1000 (100,000 expected), excess noise factor of less than 1.1 and count saturation rates of over 50 Mcounts/s. The detector would not require cryogenic cooling. The detectors are based on the breakthrough technology of internal discrete amplification to achieve the unparalleled combination of high gain, low noise, and high speed. This represents a radical new approach to increasing sensitivity and speed of photodetectors. The superior parameters of the proposed detectors could enable meeting the stated NASA mission goals of boosting data transfer rates in optical communication by a factor of 10-100 relative to the current state of the art. The new capabilities of the proposed detectors could lead to important advances in deep space and other optical communication systems.

I'd be looking into why there's so much water coming into the basement and working on fixing that instead of trying to deal with it once it's inside.

Turkey Tenderloin Sandwiches Recipe
We loved these absolutely delicious tenderloins when we visited the Iowa State Fair. We had to wait in line for more that an hour to order them, but with this recipe, we can enjoy them regularly.
- 4 turkey breast tenderloins (4 ounces each)
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup sherry or chicken broth
- 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons dried minced onion
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 4 whole wheat hamburger buns, split
- 1 slice red onion, separated into rings
- 4 slices tomato
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1. Flatten tenderloins to 3/4-in. thickness. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the oil, sherry or broth, soy sauce, lemon juice, onion, ginger and pepper; add the turkey. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 3 hours, turning occasionally.
- 2. Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill turkey, uncovered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 4 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. Serve on buns with onion, tomato and lettuce. Yield: 4 servings.

Reviewed Feb. 19, 2014
"Easy and tasty. I halved the recipe and used only about 2-1/2 oz per person which was plenty for us. Because I had just a little bit of turkey I sauteed the turkey instead of grilling or broiling. Turned out very good..."

"Love this recipe. The marinade gives the turkey such a great flavor. It took a little while on my gas grill - but it was totally worth it! It also heats up well in the microwave if you have leftovers."

PUBLISHED December 11, 2013 0 1 / 5 Self-Referential We always hear about how increasingly connected we all are. And nowhere is that more apparent than in the tangled web we've woven with the Internet.British architect Martyn Dade-Robertson wondered just how connected the Internet is, so he began studying websites and how their hyperlinks connected them to other pages across the web."I'm interested in how the web is often conceived as a city," he said.So the professor at the U.K.'s Newcastle University took to creating maps of how websites link to each other. The networks turn out to be pretty complex, even for the simplest sites."The complexity was beautiful," said Dade-Robertson, who—as a side project—turned his network maps into breathtaking portraits of Internet connectedness.Dade-Robertson produced this image of the Information Aesthetics weblog site using "radiating nodes" to show how the site links to older content and to itself."The images show web pages—or any object on a website with its own URL—as nodes, and the hyperlink relationships between them as links," he said. "The nodes which are most linked gravitate together, while those which are not linked tend to repel one another."Think about it this way: Websites tend to link to similarly themed sites—entertainment sites link to other entertainment sites, news sites to other news sites.With network maps, related web pages create clusters of tightly linked nodes; less connected pages attach to each other with radial lines like the spokes in a wheel.—Tanya Basu Image by Dr. Martyn Dade-Robertson, University of Newcastle Upon Tyne Internet in Motion "For me, the key finding is just how extraordinarily complex even rather mundane and ordinary websites can be" in connecting to others, Dade-Robertson said.For this connectedness portrait of the website for Onyx, Dade-Robertson didn't let the nodes "settle" (remember, traffic on sites is always moving and never stands still), instead freezing the pattern "to [give] the image some dynamism." Image by Dr. Martyn Dade-Robertson, University of Newcastle Upon Tyne Close-Up Images like the one above for pharmaceutical company Onyx illustrate the extreme complexity of today's networks. These networks are so convoluted they're normally printed large—about three feet (a meter) square—to show all the details.But Dade-Robertson thought he'd make a smaller version of the normally complex piece of art—one that's so detailed that "you can see the labels of individual URLs radiating out from the center" if you zoom in enough. Image by Dr. Martyn Dade-Robertson, University of Newcastle Upon Tyne Celestial Connections The connections in this network illustrating another website's connectedness made for some interstellar inspiration for Dade-Robertson.The architect noted that each of his artworks reflects the site he's portraying: "Each one is different, and I work with each in a different way, depending on the output."While Dade-Robertson isn't an artist, he has grown to see himself as one in the course of mapping out connectivity and flexing his creative muscles. Image by Dr. Martyn Dade-Robertson, University of Newcastle Upon Tyne Starburst Data for Internet connectedness is normally gathered for a URL with a technique called "web crawling," which is similar to the way Google creates search results. This allows researchers to understand how websites are intertwined—or not. These extremes make for beautiful patterns and designs that are clustered in certain areas and not in others.The Internet, according to Dade-Robertson, is becoming both increasingly connected and disconnected, because sites mostly connect to others with similar topics. As for the future of our virtual connectivity, Dade-Robertson knows one thing: It's complicated."We are living in a networked age, and networks … are everywhere," he said.

FOOTBALL 2012: Lions look to their leaders to roar
Lackawanna Trail spent last season rebuilding a tradition of playoff football teams.
Now it wants to stay there.
After returning to the District 2 Class A playoffs for the first time since winning the title in 2007, the Lions welcome back several key members for another successful run.
Justin Barber is the big anchor on both lines.
A 6-foot-1, 260-pound senior, he earned All-Region honors on the defensive line after racking up 16 tackles for loss with three sacks and three forced fumbles.
"My role is to show leadership," Barber said. "We have to get everyone up to game speed, especially the young guys who are filling in for the guys who we lost to graduation."
Running back and linebacker Pete Murazzi, running back and linebacker Jeremy Greenley, guard/linebacker Matt Goodrich, receiver/defensive back Liam Dougherty and receiver/defensive back Jonathan Zedar are all also returning two-way starters for the Lions.
Greenley ran for 297 yards and nine touchdowns and added six catches for 95 yards last season.
Zedar displayed big-play ability with four catches for 108 yards and two touchdowns, but he will likely move to wing back in the Lions' Delaware Wing-T offense.
"Our tempo on offense will be important and get everyone up to the challenge of playing varsity," Murazzi said. "We do have a lot of team speed. I think that is the overall key for us."
In addition to the power up front with Barber, four linebackers return for the Lions.
Zack Goodrich joins Matt Goodrich, Murazzi and Greenley - who also played in the secondary - on a unit that was stingy against the run last season, giving up 145.5 yards per game.
In the secondary, Cooper Rosiak, Dougherty and Zedar are all returning starters.
"We have some holes to fill," Lackawanna Trail coach Steve Jervis said. "We lost some kids who were not only very good football players, but were also very good leaders. We have a strong senior class and we need kids to fill in for those leaders not just in the good times, but when the chips are down."

, who has given hits like "Ishq bulava" and "Dhat teri ki", appreciates Pakistani music for its quality and says his band is trying to achieve the same quality.
"The music they (Pakistani musicians) are making right now is lot more open and straight forward and easy to connect. The production is lot better than India right now. So, we are trying as a band to bring that quality and more to India," Puri, who has sung the promotional song of Hollywood film "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", told IANS.
India has welcomed music from across the border with open arms and Pakistani artists like Atif Aslam, Ali Zafar and Strings have hit the right notes in our country.
Puri, who joined the music industry in 2009 and launched SANAM group, says that music from the neighbouring country is popular here because of its quality.
"Music in Pakistan is very good. We need to do a lot more here," said Puri.
He says there are a few good Indian composers too. But since everyone wants things to be done quickly, it affects the quality.
"When you are composing a song, it needs time and you need to understand the song and then record it. These days everything is happening in a hurry...I think we can do better," said the Kirori Mal college dropout, who came up with "Main hoon" for the superhero film in a short time.
"I was sitting at home and working on random songs. I got a call from Sony music saying they need a song for 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' urgently. I asked how urgently. They said a day or two and I said okay. I gave them the song in the morning itself," he said.
After Sony Music and Sony Pictures heard the song, they gave the green signal and then he recorded the track.
He says the song is not soft or fast paced and that it has an anthem feel to it.
"It is very uplifting. It says you should never feel down and can do anything," said Puri, who has recorded a song with singer-composer-actor Himesh Reshammiya and singer Shaad Ali too.
Puri's band also includes his brother Samar Puri as well as Venky S. and Keshav Dhanraj.

Baylor > Home > Exhibits > Waco at the Crossroads of Texas > Waco Mammoth Site Exhibit
Waco Mammoth Site ExhibitThe Waco Mammoth Site Exhibit at the Mayborn Museum offers visitors an additional way to experience the internationally known Waco Mammoth National Monument.
Approximately 68,000 years ago, the mammoth herd was trapped in a sudden flash flood along the banks of the Bosque River. The adult mammoths tried to save the juveniles by lifting them above the surging water with their tusks, but all were killed when the mud river banks caved in. The bones were preserved until the first fossil was discovered in 1978.
Since then, researchers from around the world have uncovered twenty-five mammoths and made many new discoveries regarding the physical characteristics and behavior of the species.
Click here for more information on the Waco Mammoth National Monument.
Museum visitors can experience the Central Texas wonder at the Mayborn Museum. The Waco Mammoth Site Exhibit displays original casts of the fossils beneath a glass floor, allowing visitors a unique, up-close view of exactly how excited excavators found the mammoth bones at the site. A large-screen film and interactive stations tell visitors the story of the mammoth's lives in Texas and the remarkable scientific discoveries at the site.
With something for everyone, this exhibit is a must see for anyone interested mammoths, paleontology, or just the unique history of Central Texas.
Visit us soon to see the Waco Mammoth Site Exhibit and visit the Mayborn Museum's other fun and family-friendly exhibits!
Entrance to the exhibit is included with price of admission!

Tom Hanks says 'Cloud Atlas' rewired him for 'Saving Mr. Banks' and 'Captain Phillips'
Last year, when Tom Hanks was just gearing up to play Walt Disney for the new film "Saving Mr. Banks," I sat down to talk to him about "Cloud Atlas," which was just coming out. He did a ton of press for that film, no doubt because he knew just how hard it was going to be to sell to anyone, and he seemed enormously proud of the picture in every conversation about it.
That's not to say he's any less proud of "Saving Mr. Banks" or "Captain Phillips," the two films he has in release this fall, and I have no doubt he will be nominated for one or the other for a whole shelf-full of new awards to go with all the other awards he's already racked up over the years. His publicity schedule has been a lot less demanding this year, though, as part of a very specific strategy. Hanks didn't do any online interviews for either of the movies on-camera, and at the very last moment, I got a call saying that he was willing to sit down with a group of five reporters for a half-hour to talk about "Banks" and I was one of the five that he had approved.
Over the years, I've had many opportunities to meet Hanks and to watch him work. By far, the most unfettered access I had to him was during the production of "The Green Mile." Frank Darabont was enormously generous during that film, allowing me to hang out and watch that incredible ensemble work together on many occasions. It was there that I got a chance to know Michael Clarke Duncan a bit, and it was there that I got to observe Tom Hanks at work every day for weeks.
One of the things that was impossible to miss was just how much Hanks would go out of his way to make sure that anyone who approached him as a fan walked away feeling like they'd been treated better than they could have expected. I saw someone introduce a young girl to him who only seemed to have "Bosom Buddies" questions for him, and Hanks didn't flinch. He told her some very sweet and funny stories about Peter Scolari, he talked about the hassles of wearing drag, and he never once treated her or "Bosom Buddies" with anything less than the utmost respect. At that point, he was a multiple Academy Award winner and one of the biggest movie stars on the planet, and there wasn't even a hint of attitude in the way he treated anyone I saw interact with him.
Likewise, when we sat down to talk to him a little under two weeks ago, he breezed in, all smiles, shaking hands, settling into the chair that had been set up so that all of us could chat with him. When he noticed that Steve Weintraub from Collider offered a fist-bump instead of a hand shake, Hanks immediately got why and talked about how he thinks we should all just graduate to the Japanese bow anyway and stop passing diseases back and forth by hand. Instead of making Steve feel weird about the gesture, Hanks made him feel at ease, and then jumped right in, saying with a big smile on his face, "Let's talk about movies."
Asked what his first thoughts were when he was offered the part as Walt Disney, Hanks sighed. "I thought, 'Oh, hell.' The burden, you know. Honestly, the responsibility. I heard about it first from Tony To. Tony is now head of physical production at Disney, but he and I executive produced and worked on and created 'From The Earth to the Moon,' 'Band of Brothers,' and 'The Pacific.' We had done a lot of stuff. We have lunch every now and again. He says, 'You've got to play Walt Disney in this movie we have.' And I said, 'Jeez, who needs that pressure?'"
The great thing about Hanks is that he's a natural born storyteller, so one question can be enough to get him loosened up, and as he starts telling a story, he'll really relax into it. "Then [Disney CEO] Bob Iger called me, which… you know, he even said, 'Look, this is not usually the way this works. I call you and say will you do it?' And I said, 'I haven't read the screenplay.' So right off the bat it's like… I know I've turned playing real people into a bit of a cottage industry. It's like, 'Please can I just play a fake guy one of these days?' So I know the work that goes into it. And so the question really was, 'What Walt Disney are we gonna see here?' I was vaguely aware that it was about the making of 'Mary Poppins'. I had read a biography of Walt Disney years and years ago that was very vibrant, and I knew enough of the history of the man to say, 'What's gonna go down?' Then reading the screenplay… honestly, you can tell if you want to do a movie 12 pages in just because the DNA of the whole story and the whole philosophy of the movie's all right there. And because it was about this odd creative process and Walt was at the top of his game, when Walt was already the Disneyland guy and, you know, Walt was actually busy building Disney World at the same time, it was a different Walt Disney than I had ever seen."
He continued, "And because it was really Emma's movie, I just said, 'Okay. All right. I understand what this is.' So now I've gotta do the construction work in order to figure out all this other stuff that goes on. They kept saying, 'Well, we want somebody recognizable like you to play somebody recognizable like Walt Disney.' And I said, 'Is that a good thing? I'm not so sure that's a good thing.' And then when I heard that Paul Giamatti was in it, I was like 'Paul should play Walt. Why not him?' But once I got to page 12, I just said yes and I didn't even have to have a conversation with John Lee Hancock. I said, 'Come on over. We'll talk about how we're gonna do it.' So we just did."
One of the most remarkable parts of "Saving Mr. Banks" is the idea of any movie producers chasing the same book for twenty years, and Hanks was asked if he could imagine staying that focused on that same goal for that long. "There are a lot of people out there that see no reason at all to have their hard work, you know, literature turned into movies. And she hated movies. She hated Walt Disney. She thought it was a low class art form. She had this very specific idea who Mary Poppins was. And the truth is she needed the money, you know? I get that. But how Walt Disney gave up script approval to somebody is astounding to me. As you can see, I think it plays out in the movie realistically. He said once you get script approval we'll just turn on the charm and we'll bring her out here and everybody will be fabulous. We'll show her what a homey atmosphere we have and how we're all just one big happy family. And, of course, you know it carried no weight."
There's a key sequence near the end of the film that Hanks felt brought the entire film together. "I would love to have been truly privy to whatever that last meeting was, which did happen. I mean, he flew to London instantaneously and what they said to each other is amazing. He might have just said, 'Honey, you're gonna make a shitload of money." And that might have been enough to turn it around. But, yeah, it's hard. It's hard to get that kind of stuff, particularly if the person doesn't think it'll be the coolest thing. You know, I met Elmore Leonard, who writes very different movies than her, and I said, 'Hey now, what do you think about these movies that are made of your books?' And he said just what you said. 'It's just so hard to make any movie. God bless them just for trying.' That's a really good attitude to have."

Federal officials from two agencies will spend the coming weeks reviewing a plane's radar and audio recordings and interviewing a flight instructor and student, trying to understand what caused a plane to crash.
Investigators from the Federal Aviation Administration's Indianapolis office on Tuesday afternoon started inspecting the scene of the plane crash in a field near the intersection of Combs and County Line roads in Greenwood. They've also requested assistance from the National Transportation and Safety Board, Greenwood assistant police chief Matthew Fillenwarth said.
Investigators will determine who was flying the plane at the time of the Tuesday morning crash, and where the instructor, Dennis Rumley, 65, of Greenwood, and his student, Brent Abshier, 38, of Indianapolis, were in their flight.
The damage from the crash caused fuel to start pouring out of the plane, and Greenwood police who were first on the scene immediately worried that the fuel could ignite, Fillenwarth said.
Rumley talked officers through how to operate the fuel shutoff valve and stop more fuel from spilling, Fillenwarth said.
Rumley's head was cut during the crash, and he was taken to Franciscan St. Francis Health in Indianapolis. Abshier was treated for injuries at Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital. Their injuries are not life-threatening.
"I think they both are probably feeling lucky to be alive," Fillenwarth said.
Police agencies contact the Federal Aviation Administration after incidents involving aircraft, such as crashes or a plane skidding off a runway, Fillenwarth said.
The investigation could take weeks or months, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Tony Molinaro said.
The plane Rumley and Abshier were flying was leased by Jeff Air Pilot Services, a flight training program that operates from the Greenwood Municipal Airport. Officials don't know whether the plane, a 38-year-old single engine fixed-wing Cessna, was leaving or heading to the airport, though the plane was following the path other planes take around the airport, Fillenwarth said. The crash was reported at 10:43 a.m.
Officials on Tuesday also were trying to figure out who was at the controls when the plane went down.
Both Rumley and Abshier were conscious and talking when emergency workers arrived. Rumley told Fillenwarth that the plane didn't have enough RPMs to get enough airspeed before the crash, Fillenwarth said.
When the plane hit the ground it spun, causing the landing gear to fold and front and rear parts of the plane to break away, Fillenwarth said.
Both Rumley and Abshier got out of the aircraft on their own.
The field where the plane landed is bordered by houses, trees, power lines and roads, and is also near an apartment complex. Most residents who lived nearby didn't hear the crash but raced to see what had happened after seeing news reports or hearing from friends and family that a plane was down near where they lived.

Real cave men pick things up and put them down, like rocks, and sometimes their women. Look like the real prehistoric deal in our Cro Magnon Adult Plus Size Costume. It comes with an animal print tunic with a jagged hemline, short sleeves and matching wrist bands. Also included is a plush fur sash and a leather like belt to tie it all together. Drive yourself to the party Flintstones style and see you who meet. Maybe you will find a prehistoric princess to dwell in your cave with you. This is a great manly costume perfect for showing off your strength. Wear it to the costume party or masquerade ball. If you have a date, fine a cute cave lady costume for her so you can show off your coupley side in style.

Hello all!
I've been skulking around these forums here for a couple of weeks trying to wrap my mind around this modding thing but I'm running into a brick wall. I have an unmodified X-Box which I don't really want or especially can't afford to modify... and I have been having a lot of bad luck with these "level up glitches" I've been experimenting with.
I've downloaded some save games from some sites like this one: http://home.alltel.net/jls31/
which led me here naturally. My goal isn't anything as extreme as anything I've found with any of the save games I"ve downloaded however, I simply want to be able to adjust the attributes (strength, Dexterity, etc...) of my character starting out on a new game with the name and face/body type that I like and play the game normally from there.
The best that I can gather from what I've read here and on the other KOTOR mod site (I forget the name, please forgive me) is that you have to have a modded x-box in order to do this. I do have an Action Replay in which to transfer save games to and from the xbox and PC but (and maybe this is just me) I can't seem to load my KOTOR2 save game onto the AR card FROM the xbox.
I'd greatly appreciate any input and advice you can give.
Thanks for your time,
In Need Of A Little Information And/or Assistance

November 07, 2010Reviewer: Jason in VermontI highly recommend this multi-vitamin. I can feel the difference when I switch to a generic brand, or forget to take a multi all together. The one down side is that you need to make sure you have plenty of food in your stomach when you take it, or it will make you nauseous.

Many presenters I work with find it hard to read, especially on smaller laptop panels. I can't find any obvious options in the menus.

Gladys has requested a loan of 30,000 KES from Kiva partner Juhudi Kilimo to help her buy poultry. When asked why she chose Juhudi Kilimo for this loan, Gladys replied, "The interest is favourable." When asked what she learned during Juhudi's required micro-finance training session, Glady replied, "that savings is an important part of it." Gladys' highest monthly expense is school fees. Gladys states that this loan will benefit her family by enabling her children to get adequate education.
As part of Juhudi's loan appraisal process, each borrower's assets are evaluated. Gladys owns a cow, poultry and a pump but does not own pigs, a bicycle, motorcycle or automobile. Juhudi Kilimo also tries to measure any change in living standards based on this loan. Gladys has in her household mosquito nets but does not have electricity, solar power, running water, a sewing machine, TV or DVD.
Note: To create this loan profile, Juhudi Kilimo used a mobile device to gather information in the field and sent the data to a central online repository, thus reducing paper use, making the process more efficient, and keeping costs down.

Oklahoma City Philharmonic salutes the Carpenters
Burt Bacharach, Leon Russell, Paul Williams, Neil Sedaka, Carole King and Joe Raposo make up quite an eclectic group of songwriters. What's the common link that unites them? Each composed a song that was recorded by the Carpenters.
During a career that lasted from 1969 to 1983, siblings Karen and Richard Carpenter recorded 30 singles, 10 of which were certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. The duo also won three Grammy Awards.
The Oklahoma City Philharmonic will pay tribute to the Carpenters with an upcoming pops concert pair titled "Yesterday Once More." Guest vocalists Jen Burleigh-Bentz, John Trones, David Lohman and Michelle Carter will join guest conductor Douglas Droste for this evening of musical nostalgia.
A show produced by songwriter and pianist Jim Brickman, "Yesterday Once More" surveys the Carpenters' extensive musical catalog, one that produced such hits as "Close to You," "We've Only Just Begun," "Superstar," "Rainy Days and Mondays" and "For All We Know."
"I knew most of these songs because my parents played this music when I was growing up," said Burleigh-Bentz. "Karen had an ability to create such a range of emotions that she put into a song. There aren't many singers out there with those talents.
"When I first heard some of the arrangements used in 'Yesterday Once More,' I knew I had to be a part of it. If they hadn't had me in mind, I certainly would be vying for a position in this show. This music brought back a lot of memories that I didn't even knew I had."
Burleigh-Bentz became involved in "Yesterday Once More" through her co-star John Trones, a singer who has worked with Brickman for the past 15 years. The youngest of five children in a musical family, Trones was also smitten with the Carpenters at a young age.
"I remember buying my first Carpenters album and how the close-knit harmonies and the layering of those harmonies made their music so incredibly lush and beautiful," Trones said. "You could really feel what they were singing about — the despair in 'Rainy Days and Mondays' for example. It was music that grabbed you because they put their heart and soul into it."
Clearly, a production that celebrates a musical era that dates back 40 years places a high priority on nostalgia, something that the music of the Carpenters readily evokes. Lush harmonies and poignant lyrics combined to create the duo's trademark sound.
"I think this show brings back memories of an easier, simpler time," Burleigh-Bentz said. "In putting it together, Jim wanted to be sure it was a blend of the intellectual, the musical and the soulful. If we touch somebody's brain, heart and soul, we've succeeded.
"As performers, we often listen for that moment of silence that occurs between the end of a song and the applause. Audiences want to relish that final note and then you get this wonderful, heartfelt hurrah. You can tell they've really been touched. It's a lovely moment."
You could really feel what they were singing about — the despair in 'Rainy Days and Mondays' for example. It was music that grabbed you because they put their heart and soul into it."
John Trones,

Panthers announced they signed S Reggie Smith, formerly of the 49ers.
Via Twitter Adam Caplan Darin Gantt
Terms of the deal have been not announced.
The 6-foot-1, 200-pound Smith played in all 16 regular season games and both playoff games for the San Francisco 49ers in 2011. He recorded 16 tackles and one interception during the regular season. Smith also contributed on special teams with six special teams tackles during the regular season and two during the postseason.
"Reggie has been on our radar since the beginning of free agency and is a player we think can come in and compete at safety," Carolina general manager Marty Hurney said. "We brought him in for a visit Tuesday and it worked out. He is another player we've added to increase the competition."

What are the pros? Easy to grow, Fast to mature
What are the cons? none
This was one of two varieties I started from seed this year and it's done amazing. It was first to fruit and oddly enough it was the plant I started in a container that fruited first. I had forgotten which variety of cucumber I planted in the container (opps). These are cute small white cukes that were excellent and full of cucumber goodness. I will be growing these again next year. I don't pickle my cucumbers but I'm getting so many I might just have to start.

What are the pros? Fresh & sweet tasting
What are the cons? None
Planted two of the 'Miniature White' plants in a large pot. They get about 7 hours of sun and are watered daily. It's almost mid July here now, and has been a fairly hot summer with short periods of mid to upper 80's temperatures, but mostly in low to mid 90's. The 'Miniature White" cucumbers have produced well and regularly for about 4 weeks with no disease or insect issues so far. Mine have varied in size from about 2" to 4" with most in the 2.5" to 3" length. The vines are about 4 feet long and are still producing flowers. Yes, I will grow it again next year, and I'm going to start some more seeds so that we can have these cucumbers into the autumn. We agree with all of the good things relative to taste that other people have said.

What are the pros? Easy to grow, high yeilds, yum
I wanted to try something different this year besides my straight 8's and boston pickling cucumber. I got this one, Crystal Apple and my fav bostons. This Mini White started producing very quickly! It is mid July and I have harvested dozens already. I have Jars and Jars of pickles already and I have given away and sold cucumbers as well. I'm sure I have more ready to harvest as speak.
No bug problems or mildew plagued these things and the vines seemed to be more tolerant to handling and abuse, whereas a couple of my bostons have died off due to my dog stomping through the garden.
Another keeper in the garden!
4 out of 4 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? Great taste
Well, now that I tried my first one of these cucumbers today, picked at 2 inches or less, it is definitely my new favorite for taste. Before this one, I thought suyo long was best. On well, always something new to find that exceeds expectations! Yummy!!!

Although this a beautiful rug the close up is not what the rug looks like at all. There is NO red in the rug at all as shown in the picture. Quality is great and love the rug but do not buy if you want any red/rust at all.
I saw this rug at a well known department store chain. It was "on sale" at over $1000. I fell in love with it but couldn't afford it. I bought the rug from Rugs Direct at an unbelievable price. The shipping was super fast. The rug is the exact same one I saw in the store and it's beautiful. The only negative is that the online picture is washed out, but the real rug is very vibrant and detailed.
The rug is beautiful. I looked at this very same rug in a well known department store in Lancaster. The rug was marked 50% off its price. I went on Rugs Direct and got the exact rug and size for less than half of THAT. It only took 3 days to get it & free shipping too. Outstanding. I love this rug.

ABBOTSFORD -- A B.C. Supreme Court judge has granted the City of Abbotsford's injunction against a group of homeless people who have been living in a public park since October.
The judge ordered tents removed from Jubilee Park by Saturday at 4 p.m., while a wooden structure in the park's parking lot must be gone by Monday at 2 p.m.
Supporters of the homeless camp were discouraged by the ruling, saying they will have nowhere to go as snow continued to fall in Abbotsford on Friday afternoon.
The homeless have been living in the park since late October. They moved into a walled structure in the parking lot on McCallum Road on Dec. 11. Following the move, the city fenced off most of the park. Last week, the judge ordered them out of the walled structure. A hearing on the park was postponed until Tuesday, with the decision rendered on Friday.
In its injunction, the city asked to evict the homeless from Jubilee Park, to bar homeless camps from all city parks, and to give police the power to arrest anyone contravening the regulations.
DJ Larkin, a lawyer for Pivot Legal Society, argued against the injunction.
The court process has been just the latest confrontation between the city and its homeless population.
The adversarial relationship peaked last June when the city's bylaw department spread chicken manure to clear a homeless camp. The city and Mayor Bruce Banman later apologized.
The homeless also accused Abbotsford police that month of damaging tents and property.
"It's hard to imagine how things could get worse," homeless advocate Jesse Wegenast of Abbotsford's 5 and 2 Ministries said in an earlier interview.
"Things have been so bad for so long, and we really haven't made any progress since the chicken manure dump," Wegenast said.
"At some point it has to break, right? We can't keep being a laughingstock with how we deal with issues of homelessness and addiction."
The city has also come under fire for opposition to harm-reduction programs such as safe-injection sites, which are banned under a 2005 city bylaw. The mayor has publicly decried illegal drug users as criminals who should be treated as such.
In addition, the community has come under scrutiny for opposition to some social housing — the Downtown Abbotsford Business Association vocally opposed a low-barrier complex for men in the city's core.
The battle has moved from the streets to the courts.
The Abbotsford chapter of the B.C./Yukon Drug War Survivors, which has sided with the homeless, has filed eight lawsuits against the city. The city responded with four lawsuits of its own.
Larkin has filed a human rights case against the city, alleging discrimination on the basis of socio-economic status. That case will be heard next year.

This is a guest post by Sarah Tyler.
For a person who had always been very passionate about British culture, I was surprisingly unprepared for the experience of dating a Brit. Sure, I knew my pasty from my ploughman's and had enough pop culture facts to win even the most difficult pub quiz, but as it turned out, a successful intercultural relationship required more than this type of understanding about Britain. I think Americans have a tendency to view the British as extended family members who merely speak in a different accent, underestimating how large the cultural gap between our two societies really is.
As an anglophile, I seem to have been subconsciously drawn to British men like a moth to the flames, and those experiences have taught me a lot about British culture and myself. Looking back on those relationships, things would have gone a lot smoother if I had been aware of certain cultural differences. It is impossible and inaccurate to classify a richly diverse nation of people into a handful of stereotypical mannerisms; however my experiences have taught me that there seem to be certain fundamental differences that would have made my life easier if I would have understood them in advance.
One of the areas of difference between my American culture and that of my British counterpart's was our attitudes about health and wellness. I had grown up being coddled by people when I was sick and had developed the understanding that an important way to show you care about someone is to look after them when they're feeling under the weather. However, the Brits seemed to always downplay their illnesses and didn't feel that something like a case of the flu was worth fussing over. In a situation where I would seek help or sympathy, they usually preferred to go on with their lives as normally as possible and trust it would get better on its own. In the long run I think being around this attitude was a big benefit for me – it has helped me to carry on strongly when situations were less than desirable. However, at the time it was difficult for me to recognize that people have different outlooks and ways of showing affection. It took awhile to understand that if I received a little tough love from an British boyfriend when I was sick, it wasn't because he didn't care enough about me, it was that he had a completely different cultural perspective on how to act in that situation.
Something that was not nearly as detrimental to my relationships but that took some getting used to was the British drinking and pub culture. Coming from a family who never drank or kept alcohol in the house, it was really surprising to me to see what an important social role the pub plays in British life, and how frequently my boyfriend would want to go there! In the small, rural town that I'm from, bars have something of a negative connotation attached to them. They are nothing like British pubs, which are frequented by the entire community and are a vital aspect of social interaction. In America, for example, many people prefer to watch important sporting events at home, where they can throw a private party with their friends and family. However, in England it can be very expensive to purchase the networks that broadcast these events so instead everyone will go to watch the football match at the pub. If you are dating a British person, chances are good that the pub will become an important fixture in your life. I grew to really love my local, it offered so much more than the bars back home. Delicious, cheap coffee and lunches, fun quiz nights and sports matches – it was a great place to relax and unwind after a long day. I soon came to appreciate it just as much as my fellow Brits, and understood why my boyfriend ascribed so much value to it.
One really great thing about dating someone who is from Britain is that you get to learn about a new culture and you also get to see your own culture from a different perspective. Any new relationship is exciting but if you are dating a Brit, everything becomes exciting. From something as simple as the different ways you pronounce words to learning about new music, TV shows and stores – an intercultural relationship gives you so much to share with someone. However, it's very easy to get caught up in these aspects and to overlook larger issues of compatibility. If you are going to date someone from Britain, you need to make sure you are prepared to encounter many misunderstandings and cultural differences, and that you are also prepared to change your perspective on the world. If you're up to the challenge, it can be an incredibly rewarding experience.
Sarah Tyler is a lifelong anglophile currently completing her bachelor's degree and plotting her big move across the pond.
