Orthodox worship to a Western Rite - Paul Harrison - 30-10-2006
I've been doing some reading on this subject and it seems that, as far back as 1879, the Moscow Patriarchate authorised to the of the Western Gregorian Canon for Orthodox Christians in the US. In the early years of the 20th century Bishop Tikhon (who was the "evangeliser of the US" and later became the Moscow Patriarch and was canonised following his martyrdom at the hands of Stalin) authorised a modified version of the Anglican Prayer Book. He believed that in order to evangelise the West, Orthodox Christianity had to have available Western Rites dating from before the Great Schism or corrected to a pre schism theology.
In England the Sarum usage lasted from well before the Great Schism up to the introduction of the 1549 Book of Common Prayer. It is therefore a Rite of the Universal Church. Although the heretical filioque found its way into it, once that is removed, there is nothing in there incompatible with Orthodox Christianity. That is true according to the Antiochian Orthodox Church in the US, in any event. One of the aims of the BOC is, to quote:
"The mission of the British Orthodox Church within the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate is to share the good news of the Orthodox Faith with British people in their own culture."
It is admitted by all Orthodox jurisdictions who are currently represented in the UK that Britain was Orthodox until the coming of the Normans in 1066 with their bishops loyal to the Pope. It is also recognised that the British Isles were among the first countries to be Christianised. So we had a thousand years of Orthodox Christianity. Yet we had our own Liturgies which were local variations of the Liturgies of the East. The Lorrha (or Stowe) Missal was in use in Ireland, Britain and Gaul. Sarum came later but was still a usge of the Universal Church. If the BOC is keen to share the good news with the British people in their own culture, would it ever consider adopting a Rite familiar to our culture.
I need no convincing that Orthodox Christianity is the original Church of Jesus Christ and the Apostles. The more I read into Orthodox theology the more I become convinced that error spread outwards, firstly to Rome and then even bigger errors in the reformation. But invasion brought those errors to Orthodox Britain. Having experienced several times the great Liturgies of the East, I can admire their beauty and magnificence. Yet they sound alien to our culture which isn't surprising. Perhaps this is a feeling which would go away after much more experience of Orthodox Christianity, but perhaps it wouldn't.
My personal view is that if any Orthodox jurisdiction were to introduce a Western Rite in Britian it would experience exponential growth. This has been the case with the Antiochians who have done this in the US but show no interest in doing it here. We anglophones have time honoured Christian Rites which are theologically sound and culturally our own.

Hi Paul
This is an interesting topic. I have a great love of the pre-Conquest Christian traditions in the British Isles and it is a pleasure to be able to drive just half an hour over to Canterbury and sit at the place where my name-saint, Theodore of Canterbury, was/is buried.
I have obtained quite a few volumes for my personal library about the Sarum Rite and even as an ex-Evangelical rather than Anglican I do find the subject absorbing.
But....though I am myself naturally inclined to a Western Rite in Orthodoxy I think that several factors come into play in the present situation of the British Orthodox Church.
Firstly, we are still a small community and there is a great need for us to have a coherence, and for ministries to be easily interchangeable since our resources are limited. If we had 150 churches with three bishops etc etc then that would be a different situation, or I could imagine other situations where the question would be more pressing. But for now I sense that it is more important we do the same thing because of our small size.
Secondly, as a Englishman from a non-liturgical background I don't find the BOC Liturgy of St James particularly alien at all. It is different to what I was used to, but then I was pretty much used to pentecostal type worship where anything might happen. I think it is the case that we still have a British ethos even though we do use a liturgy that originates in the East. But for me, the fact that the Liturgy is in good English doesn't make it sound Eastern as far as I am concerned. It is, after all, a collection of prayers and hymns.
Thirdly, I have discussed this very issue with Anglican clergy who are interested in learning about Orthodoxy, in fact I was on the phone to one such last week an we discussed this. He felt that the particular liturgy used was of less importance than the Orthodox foundations which the British Orthodox Church offered, and the genuine effort to be at home in our British culture.
So I am very interested in the Sarum Rite, I am just not sure that our present form of worship is particularly alien, or that we could support a variety of forms at the moment, or that it would produce a greater number of enquirers. I am sure that God will lead us into His will, and these thoughts are indeed only my personal opinions.
Best wishes

Dear Paul,
We must be cautious about reading back into some golden age of Orthodox Britain. Long before the Normans turned up, England was famous for her devotion to the Roman line on just about everything. As we know, the Schism of 1054 was only the formal occasion which recognised something that had been developing for a long time - the divisions between the East and West can be seen as far back as Chalcedon.
The mission of Augustine led to the process by which the old Celtic character of the native British Church was overlain by a Roman pattern, and whilst it would be true to say that Britain was Orthodox until 1054, it was in the same sense that Rome was. I fear the 'errors' were here long before the Normans.
None of this, if accepted, would invalidate your point about the Sarum Rite, which is an interesting one. Peter's point is clearly correct, but begs your question about the possible effects on expansion of having a rite familar to many Anglicans. I wonder whether you are on to something significant in this insight?
In Christ,
Western Rite - Michael Kennedy - 31-10-2006
We have had many visitors in the years since our small community has been first at Maidstone and now at Chatham. They have been from all backgrounds, and some continue with us, and I have been fascinated as to how they find our liturgy and worship. Sometimes of course it is impossible to know for sure and I suspect one's worse fears are, as so often, simply 'born of imagination'. But two things stand out. One, the ease with which Orthodox from other cultural and ecclesial backgrounds take to our Liturgy of St James, and second the generally positive feedback from Anglicans. It is, they say, quite like ours ! I don't think it is but there are enough familiar reference points for them not to feel alienated, and I guess this is true for those who come originally from another Orthodox background. We are blessed with a Liturgy that is ancient and eastern, but British because it is in English and it is us who are serving it.
Speaking personally, and based on this experience, I don't believe that a Western Rite is at all necessary for the church to grow. It is not an issue - perhaps if we were trying to serve a Coptic Orthodox Liturgy in a poor translation and perhaps with an attempt here and there to include prayers in Coptic or Arabic it would be. (Imagination and boggle are words that spring to mind here.) What does matter is good English untouched by the curse of political correctness or any other kind of newspeak and good theology. I think we have both. The onus now is on us to serve the Liturgy attentively with faith and humility - a sobering thought.
- Paul Harrison - 31-10-2006
Firstly I would like to take back the word "alien" in describing Eastern Rites. Many Orthodox Church Liturgies from your own to the Liturgy of St John Chrysostom have been expertly translated into English. Neither was I suggesting that any Orthodox Church should abandon the Liturgies of the East unless its cergy and members wanted to. The point I was trying to make is that we have our own British liturgies which are considered sufficiently Orthodox to be used by several jurisdictions worldwide (Antioch, Moscow and ROCOR to the best of my knowledge). Yet not in the UK.
Here, in both the Church of England and the RC Church, we have suffered from liturgical meltdown in the last 40 years, accompanied by numbers of worshippers in freefall. Pope Bendict XVI in his book, "The Spirit of the Liturgy" written in 1999 when he was Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger expresses the view that once liturgy has become deformed theology quickly follows suit and we are left with the position in whch the traditional Western churches find themselves in the UK.This is why he is so keen to encourage increased use of the pre Vatican II Tridentine Rite. All the Orthodox churches have avoided that catastrophe by staying with the best of your tradition. Peter will know better than I do how many Anglicans, priests and laity contact him expressing dissatisfactiion with current trends in Anglicanism. Perhaps they will be attracted to Byzantine and other Eastern Rites, yet I feel there is an untapped market, for want of a better word, out there for doctrinal and liturgical orthodoxy within a Western setting.
Within the square mile of the City of London are several churches which maintain old traditions in liturgy and other traditions such as consecration ad orientum. They are all growing. As are the Fulham parishes. I see one of the PEV's has joined the Fellowship. This is while the C of E continues to decline. With the prospect of the ordination of women to the episcopate in the next 2-3 years there will likely be an exodus of up to 15% of Church of England members, mainly from these traditional lobbies. Many will go to Rome, but a sizeable number will feel as I do, that Rome isn't for them. So we may get a disarray of continuing churches as they have in the US. Some may successfully take the Byzantine plunge and make the transition to Orthodoxy. So there will be people out there looking for a spiritual home. The Orthodox Churches in the US who use the Western Rite are mainly such people who have left either the Episcopal Church of the RC Church and it seems to me that there may be entire congregations petitioning for oversight in circumstances in which they feel comfortable and familiar.
Western Rite - John Charmley - 10-11-2006
Dear Brothers in Christ,
I have been following this discussion with interest. It does not seem to me that the Liturgy of St. James is as far away from the experience of Anglicans as the rites used by the Byzantines.
Perhaps, at the present stage of growth, it would, as Peter suggests, be wise to stay as things are; but it does raise the question as to whether a western rite might eventually become a possibility.
On the other hand, as more come to experience St. James, then it too may become as beloved as the old BCP is to so many of us. It is certainly vastly to be preferred to the 'Oi God!' services common in so many Anglican Churches.
In Christ,

I can only speak of my own experience, I came from a Brethren background where our ordinary worship was simple, plain, for many years of my life unaccompanied by any musical instruments. Our 'liturgy' was celebrated seated around a table where the symbols of bread and wine were placed, and any male member of the Church might stand and speak, or pray, or lead a hymn.
Now I grew up used to that form, but my wife, from a Baptist background, found it most odd and off-putting that anyone could pop up anywhere in the room and start speaking.
But I then started visiting rather more Pentecostal worship settings and grew used to them, even if I was not always comfortable. Indeed I found some aspects frankly disturbing.
I wasn't until I studied at Bible college and began to read in the wider 'catholic' and historic Christian traditions that I found benefit and value in the historical liturgical forms, and I did start to use the Anglican SSF book of Daily Prayer. But looking back I see that the Brethren and the Charismatic forms are also liturgical, and Western, and equally alien to the forms and intent of the historic liturgies.
So what I am stumbling in saying is that although I think there are 'valid' and 'useful' Western liturgical forms rooted in the historic tradition I am not so sure that they are immediately relevant to those who do not already come from a Western historical liturgical background. Indeed there is more in common between a Western Rite and an Eastern Rite (to use those terms for simplicity) than there is between a Western Rite and the Brethren Rite, or a Charismatic Rite.
I do still wonder then how much benefit there is (and this is a question in my mind not a statement) in the BOC using a Western Rite, against the difficulties likely from our small community having several rites. And I also wonder how hard it is for an Anglican, for instance, to engage with the Liturgy of St James, if it is equally or more hard for a Brethren or Charismatic to engage with any historic liturgy.
I would value hearing about other people's experiences.
- Edward - 06-12-2006
I'm an Anglican and I've been very interested to see how on the one hand there has been the suggestion that the Sarum Rite is closer to a possible British (or English) Orthodox Rite and on the other hand the 'Western Orthodox Rite' appears to be very close to the US 1928 Book of Common Prayer.
Anglicanism has always held that the BCP was, to some extent, a reform of the Westerm Rite of the time along Biblical and Patristic lines. Does the Western Orthodox Rite confirm this to some extent?
It is also worth noting that Rome has also used the 1928 and 1979 US BCP texts to create the approved 'Book of Divine Worship' used by the RC 'Anglican Use' parishes over there, many of whom are former Anglicans.
I would be interested to see the worship of the BOC and to what extent it's context and culture is 'British' as such. One of the great appeals to me personally of the Church of England is that I still believe it to be the historic Church of the English people and that this particular identity is expressed in its historic formularies and forms of Worship. Martin Thornton's 'English Spirituality' is a classic text for this kind of discussion / suggestion.
In a way 'classic Anglicanism' (17th & 18th century) very much identified itself in contrast with Rome (whereas much of Anglo-catholicism today indetifies strongly with Rome).
I can understand 'technically' why many of my Anglican friends have found themselves at home within branches of the Orthodox Church but I have yet to make the cultural and spiritual conection that they have.
Some sort of UK Western Rite would certainly appeal to me.
- admin - 06-12-2006
Dear Edward,
Welcome to this forum, and to the British Orthodox Fellowship.
I would be very interested in some of the other folk from Anglican backgrounds experience our worship using the Liturgy of St James in English?
For myself, from an Evangelical background, all liturgy was new and different, and although I understood there was a difference between say, the Prayer Book Eucharist I attended at Bible College at Sopley in Dorset, and the SSF services I attended at Glasshampton and Hilfield, and then the various British Orthodox services I attended and now participate in, I didn't find them as great as say the difference between all of them and my Plymouth Brethren communion service, or some of the hairier charismatic events I went to.
I'd like to hear how Michael as an long term convert looks back and remembers his thoughts, or John as a new catechumen reflects on the differences. Anyone else's comments would be useful of course.
You might wish at some point to visit a British Orthodox community, and many of our clergy are from an Anglican background. They might also have some interesting reflections.
For myself however, I came to Orthodoxy through spirituality rather than liturgics. I became convinced that there was something life changing in what I was discovering, not entirely different to my life as a Plymouth brother, but as has been said elsewhere on this forum, a brighter light.
I am sure it will be interesting and useful to have your own thoughts and reflections posted here over the coming weeks and months. And again, I wish you a warm welcome.
Peter Theodore
- Edward - 07-12-2006
Can anyone recommend an English translation of the various Orthodox Liturgies?
Also, is the any Orthodox equivalent of books like 'Ritual Notes' (Anglican) or 'Ceremonies of the Roman Rite described' (Roman)?
I would be very interested to read a 'liturgical manual' or 'manual of ceremonies' so as to see the movement and posture for Priest and People at Orthodox celebrations.
Many thanks,
Anglicanism and Orthodoxy - John Charmley - 07-12-2006
Dear Peter and Edward,
I shall leave it to those with a greater knowledge of matters liturgical to answer Edward's specific questions on these matters.
'Our Daily Life' is an excellent source for the texts of the BOC services. There is a guide, on line to the liturgy of St. John Chrysostom at http://www.frmichel.najim.net/liturgyvid.pdf
There is more information on the Western Rite at
http://westernorthodox.com/western-rite
As one who was drawn to Anglicanism by the BCP, I share your view about the Anglican Church being the Church of the English - but that Church needs, for me, to be Orthodox, and I have real problems with recognising the CoE as that any more. What attracts me to the BOC is that it seems to offer Orthodoxy with an English tone - which is what I thought I had in the CoE.
Like Peter, I hope that you will find whatever it is you are seeking in the BOF. It is, I think, typically English to have such a Fellowship where we can all seek as much or as little as we may need - with no one ever attempting to prosletyse. It is also very English that the BOC does not bang on about ethnicity!
In Christ,
- Michael Kennedy - 07-12-2006
I was brought up in the C of E in the Anglo Catholic tradition. In the church of my childhood we used, I think, it's a long time ago, a version of the 1928 Prayerbook in a pamphlet, rather like those that preceded the ASB. As a Reader I was licensed just as the ASB came into use and I left before Common Worship appeared. I have also worshipped in Anglican churches using the Roman Rite. I left the C of E in a negative frame of mind but I came to Orthodoxy for positive reasons. Before I found the BOC, OCBI as it was when I was first introduced to it, I worshipped with the Russian Orthodox Church in London and at Canterbury. The OCBI used a Liturgy in English which was very easy to follow as by then I had had some considerable experience of Orthodox worship.
Although I generally disliked the ASB my reasons for leaving the C of E were not primarily liturgical, and I didn't come to Orthodoxy because I wanted the Orthodox Liturgy rather than the ASB. Now, I greatly value the Liturgy of St James and would not want to change it to say, St Basil or St John Chrysostom. But this is perhaps just familiarity, the important thing is that worship should be conducted in the local language, which for us is English. This I believe is good Orthodox practice and is, after all, why the Russians worship in Church Slavonic not Greek. The fact that Church Slavonic is now archaic, as indeed is Coptic, is a matter for them both, not us. I was happy to worship with the Russian Orthodox but spent more time trying to guess where we had reached in the service than on my devotions! (They use a lot of English at Canterbury so there it was easier.)
I have never considered a Western Rite, in fact before joining the BOC I hadn't realised that it was an issue, in spite of some experience with Pilgrimage to Orthodoxy. I personally don't see the need, in fact I think it could easily cause more problems than it solves. In the early days of BOC there was some discussion on another Coptic Orthodox list about why the BOC were using St James rather than St Basil so it wouldn't help to complicate matters further. Some sort of modified BCP would perhaps appeal to those who feel strongly that 1662 is the only form for worship in English and for those who would welcome a shorter service perhaps, but it would be at the loss of the spiritual riches of Orthodoxy that are conveyed in and the through the Liturgy itself.
I hope this is helpful,
Anglicanism and Orthodoxy - John Charmley - 08-12-2006
Dear Michael,
Some very intersting points here.
I should once have thought that I would have taken rather strongly the line that the BCP would be just the thing, and one of the things that has surprised me about my encounter with Orthodoxy in the BOC is that I have not ended up in this position.
There is a richness in the BOC Liturgy that feeds the spirit, and like you, I would not swap that even for the good old BCP. I would also agree that what really matters is that the Liturgy is in English. Sts. Cyril and Methodius did not go into Rus expecting the Slavs to speak and read Greek, and we are told that in Christ there is neither Jew nor Gentile.
Having now used the BOC Evening Prayers for several months, I find them familiar and uplifting - and certainly far more attractive and far less foreign than anything used in modern Anglican services.
But then, like you, my primary problem with Anglicanism was not liturgical - although that was part of it.
In Christ,
- Mark Fletcher - 20-01-2007
This is a fascinating and important discussion. I feel that there is also an issue of form and "the life behind the form" that matters very much. Some time ago I attended a 1662 BCP Holy Communion at a local church, and it became clear to me that the "public work" of liturgy had become an antiquated period piece which was there to satisfy the paying punters. The spirit, the reality behind the form, had dried up. The beautiful liturgy was used like an Antiques Roadshow exhibit pulled out every week to satisfy consumer demand. The underlying spirituality had evaporated, and the liturgy was drained of its meaning, purpose and significance. It had become a marketing tool for people who wanted the frissant of Olde Worlde Christianity or a weekly neurotic ritual which no-one believed in any more but is part of a Theme Park Churchianity which they believe needs to be cherished like a stuffed owl. No thanks!
Museum piece - John Charmley - 20-01-2007
Dear Mark,
I fear that you are correct. The Liturgy of St. James seems to be beyond words like 'beautiful' - it just 'is'. It draws one in and up and beyond oneself, and for brief moments one can feel that one is part of a service both here and in Heaven.
At the moment it is difficult for me to do the 120 mile round trip very often, but whenever I do I feel fed in a way that I have never been before.
In Christ,

Motorola DROID RAZR vs Apple iPhone 4S
0. phoneArena 17 Nov 2011, 06:29 posted on
If you are not already lured by one of the two big contenders in the contemporary mobile OS space – iOS and Android – you will probably be facing a tough choice this holiday season whether to snatch the Motorola DROID RAZR or the Apple iPhone 4S. We are here to help with a comparison between the latest and greatest from Motorola and Apple, so read on for our findings...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here
1. bobfreking55 (Posts: 866; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
Droid Razr FTW.
iPhone's only edge is the camera.
4. bobfreking55 (Posts: 866; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
where's the video of the Razr vs S2 btw phonearena?? will this one get one??
16. windowsRocks (Posts: 152; Member since: 28 Oct 2011)
No ways. Latest vs Outdated comparison
24. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
It's too bad that Phone Areana couldn't get the RAZRs from mainland China -- the ones with the better spec like 13 MP camera or 4.5" screen, etc.
That would have made for a great comparison.
37. NVPMOTHAF (Posts: 78; Member since: 28 Sep 2011)
Obviously they want to compare phones phones that are similar.
38. Schmao (Posts: 358; Member since: 05 Jul 2009)
They picked the phone that would be purchased most by consumers.
39. JohnSPiere (Posts: 3; Member since: 22 Nov 2011)
But to get this phone for $0.01 only, beats the iPhone hand down.
2. deacz (Posts: 162; Member since: 02 Nov 2011)
wtf another failed VS? S**tty fluff reviews once again. stop doing those vs reviews if you cant decide on a winnner phone arena.
pointless from the start since it will be down to andriod vs ios.
3. bobfreking55 (Posts: 866; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
It's the Razr.
Camera: iPhone

Have you even used Siri?
7. bobfreking55 (Posts: 866; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
u cant use it well outside the US for one.
46. Reckless (Posts: 4; Member since: 25 Nov 2011)
yes in fact...see post below have you ever used google voice? been around a couple of years now...
21. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Dude, the Razr is a great phone, but you're oversimplifying a lot of things. Better camera = both stills and 1080p video capture. Also iPhone has a much better design. The review said the screen was gaudy and didn't show accurate colors, etc etc.
And so since Google pushed back the ICS date it's now category and reason to chose the Razr? That's like saying "Already Updated: iPhone". And since you mentioned nitty gritty things like flash support where any Android device automatically wins, you might as well throw in App Store and iTunes to the list.
22. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
we\'re all aware of what the Camera functionality entails and the design choice is a matter of preference. i think both phones are very handsome. SAA does have a few cons but the Pros even them out.
pushed back ICS? what are you talking about? the Razr will get ICS so why does it matter? it\'s still a great phone now. the App Store doesn\'t really hold the Android Market over a barrel so much anymore and i actually view iTunes as a con. especially now that we have Google Music.
45. Reckless (Posts: 4; Member since: 25 Nov 2011)
Dude.....get over things..... people will buy what they want and the "much better design" next time be sure to say in my humble opinion
32. wakingup (Posts: 51; Member since: 13 Aug 2011)
Firstly, I'd agree to siri as not important. And if you do find it so important, there is somethings in the Android Market caller Iris and so forth which serves the same function. Not to mention the updates which are improving these applications more frequently compared to the IOS's Iris. Furthermore, I actually found this review to be a bit biased. It over-weighed Siri and did not even mention the applications which can make an Android faster, cleaner and so forth. There are applicaitions to replace the home UI and even to make it look like the IOS. Can the IOS do that?
44. Reckless (Posts: 4; Member since: 25 Nov 2011)
So funny my wife has a iPhone 4S ..she was going to show her Dad how Siri worked and make a call to my phone (Droid2) ...so after Siri coughed and hickuped a few times something about not being able to connect to the network I presses voice search on my Droid 2 and said "Call (wifes name) mobile" ...instantly it dialed and called my wife...lol we all had a big laugh out of that!
47. Abdul92 (Posts: 43; Member since: 23 Aug 2011)
It's the iPhone 4S
Camera: iPhone 4S
Screen: iPhone 4S
Form: RAZR
Front Camera: iPhone 4S
Flash Support: Adobe has agreed to stop using Flash Player in all mobile devices. And jump on board with HTML5- iOS

There is no Android device than unique, Razr, epic touch, Nexus -- it all the same crap in a different body. Not to mention the malware.
52. WpapaJ (Posts: 1; Member since: 26 Nov 2011)
You're an idiot.
62. mobileuser (Posts: 66; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
You are praising Iphone 4s too high and the fact that you spend a lot of dollars to purchase an iphone 4S does not make it better than the Razr in any way. If you want to see real life comparision, go to smartphoneenvy.com and look at the face off done between the two devices and you can see how good is the Razr over iphone 4S in terms of speed, opening youtube, opening web site, unofficial speed test etc. Even with the voice test against Siri, there are things that Siri cannot handle but the android deive cannot. Also, the Razr has smart action, motocast, labdock applications that can never exist in an iphone 4S. Also google offer voice guided turn by turn navigation as a free application whereas the iphone 4S cannot offer. Also, the lack of UI and customizable widget is the weakest part of iphone and I see no improvement on the updated IOS since its introduction to iphones,whereas all smarts phone nowadays have undergone a lot of improvement in terms of user interface and funtionality.
71. cjbasketball25 (Posts: 2; Member since: 22 Jan 2012)
Do you even know what you are talking about??? For one you talk about spending more money on the iphone when if you look at most phone places the Razr is actually more then the iphone 4S 16GB! Second you talk about speed of opening web sites and opening youtube pages well thats another place you dont know what your talking about, the reason the razr does that faster is because it is 4G but yet if your not in a 4G market the speed are actually about that same (4G just means the service is faster since your needing help knowing your facts)! The next part is what I love lmao you talk about the razr having motocast and lapdock applications ha ha ha ha I have one word for you ICLOUD same thing as your motocast and the iphone has the biggest accessory market known to any phone so you cant go there!

Screen - horribly pixelated and washed out on the Razr. Smaller but much higher quality on the 4S
Form - Razr is uncomfortable to hold, and almost impossible to use one-handed
Flash support - not even Adobe cares anymore
Soon to be updated? Seriously? I've owned Droids for 2+ years - they are never updated in time and their updates are bug-ridden (GB on DX and DX2 was released 6 months late and riddled with bugs)
- Upgrade price is about the same. The freebies are only for new customers
I would give the Razr a big plus for Nav which is much better than on the iPhone, and for its Smart Actions that the iPhone can't touch.
However, by no means is the Razr a clear winner. If you want a small, high quality phone with a great camera you would ge the 4S. If you want a big screen and Android, there are better choices than the Razr.

The latest review here has shown that even the two newest smart phones Samsung Galaxy Nexus and The HTC rezound cannot beat the Razr, what are the better choices out there right at the market at this very moment as you are referrign to that can beat the Razr. I would be interested to see any prove about that.
64. mobileuser (Posts: 66; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
Smaller screen is a bad thing in todays smart phone especially when you are using navigation while driving, Fortunately the iphone 4s does not come with the voice guided turn by turn navaigation so it is not important to your iphone user. Taking about camera. I feel very strange that why are people so concernec about the camera in teh phones. As far as I am concerrnec, those built in camera are for occasional use. I would not want to use it in your journey when you have to take a large quantity of pictures. Also, the video is for occasional use.I would like to use a digital video recorder if I really want to capture a long video. Therefore these two features should not be the main features to be compared with. Any comparision between phoens should be based on real world comparision on User interface, speeds, practicality as well as functionality of which the Razr wins hands down, not arguable.
69. mobileuser (Posts: 66; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
What are the other choices available? Even the GNexus, SGSII, HTC Rezounds all cannot compete in terms of overall built quality, call quality and functionality. I dont see how an Iphone4 can have any legs up against the Razr when I dont see any customizable UI available in the iphone and the Siri still cannot do many things that the google voice search can do for me.

google voice is a joke! SIRI takes laps around it

"soon to be updated" you know you're talking about an android phone rite?
10. iamcc (Posts: 1319; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
I like their reviews. There can never be a clear "winner" unless you are comparing an Android phone to another Android phone or two iPhones against each other.
Its nice to see the breakdown of which features/specs are better on each device to aid in the decision making process but as you mentioned yourself it comes down to OS preference. Maybe down the road that will change but they are essentially comparing apples to oranges (ha) and with that in mind I think they do an excellent job.
5. HTCiscool (Posts: 449; Member since: 16 Jul 2011)
Why can\\\'t you guys just grit your teeth and give a straight answer of which one you prefer? I get tired of reading the old:
\\\"You can\\\'t go wrong with either\\\"
We want to hear your opinion, and as a consumer, which one you would buy if you had the money for either.
None of this Bulls**t about trying to say the RAZR just to please your Android fanboys. If you truly prefer the iPhone 4S then please say so, we respect your decisions.
iPhone still has the edge in smoothness, camera and video.
I tried Siri the other day at an Apple store, you don\\\'t even need to try and speak clearly, you can mumble at it and it will still understand you, quite amazing I think.
12. roldefol (Posts: 4258; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
For this comparison they really can't pick a winner. It's going to be a matter of personal preference. I don't know why they bother comparing such different devices.
25. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
Siri's wit is what blows me away. I don't know how they did it but that AI is not gimmick.

So you aren't happy unless they say the iPhone is better? Kinda sounds like that is what you want to hear.
51. chadrick0814 (Posts: 209; Member since: 23 Nov 2011)
Did that iphone 4s you tried get high download speeds on 4g? Did you try to send a picture to the iphone via bluetooth? 1.2 ghz dual core is pretty smooth also considerng the razr has multitaskng. "Smoothness" is subjective of course. 4g, hdmi, bluetooth file transfer, and large screen are not. How could phone arena call a iphone 4s when it doesnt even have features that should be standard.
8. baldilocks (Posts: 746; Member since: 14 Dec 2008)
The RAZR is one UGLY phone from the front.
11. roldefol (Posts: 4258; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
Completely subjective, but I agree. PA keeps dinging phones like the Rezound for not having a groundbreaking design like the Razr, but it's easy on the eyes and comfortable to hold. Isn't that more important that looking different?

9. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
@bob - +1 on the RAZR. You neglected to mention the LTE network on the RAZR, though. In the S.F. Bay Area, the best speed I have seen on an AT&T-edition 4S is around 3 Mbps at 2 a.m. My RAZR has regularly hit 18 Mbps, with some times making it to 24 Mbps (yes, I did a second check to confirm) territory with the speed checks occurring throughout the day. VZW's LTE network rivals cable modem service.
13. BattleBrat (Posts: 1458; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
I was originally going to buy the iPhone 4s but the battery life didn't cut it, I must say I'm quite happy with the RAZR, just fired her up, very cool. If the iPhone 5 comes out (Next September) and has an Ipod Touch form factor, I'm saving $650+ and buying one, upgrade be damned.
14. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
Now, my dilemma is:
RAZR or GALAXY NEXUS????
18. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
Well, it is true - I have no reason to get an iphone 4S - it is boring looking and all I would do with it is play games, then jailbreak it, and play more games.
15. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
I will say that the wife activated her Verizon 4S yesterday and loves it. Sound quality is fantastic compared to AT&T 3GS - data speeds suck - but she is on wifi, which is actually quite fast.
19. Carlitos (Posts: 514; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
Why do we keep putting the iphones 4s, against beast of phones like this. Or most dual core phones of android. ( Galaxy S2, Razr, Bionic, Atrix, photon, DROID 3, etc. There are some I might of missed)
20. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
the 4S is dual-core and besides i don't mind seeing (and let others see) what a mistake Apple made this year. :P

honestly i think this is kind of a stupid question... comparisons like these are a step away from pointless. you don't see many people blogging about comparisons between the PC and the Xbox 360... (bear with me lol)
i know the way the Xbox 360 is designed it's mostly a computer BUT my point is every game that you run on the xbox is designed and strenuously tested against those exact specs. the word "custom made" for the processor of the iPhone.. everyone else get this?
Android is like the PC where it comes with many *almost* customizable cpu's and even gpu's at this point..
the difference is for one, everything that goes on that object is completely optimized for what will 100% be the hardware. the other has to be much more flexible and can in some cases be a lot more intensive.
the iPhone is damn good at what it does. there's no lag, and very little malware because they have a deathgrip on everything so its all butter.
but android is pretty good too i think. :p
30. IsThereOnePhoneWOaFatalFlaw (Posts: 25; Member since: 07 Nov 2011)
Is it me or did these comparisons used to have more definitive victors? What good is to type all that crap, consisting of the same stuff we already knew (if you read the individual reviews of these products) and then in effect, say at the end "This one is better if you like THIS and that one is better if you like THAT." Untuck your sack PhoneArena, and PICK ONE! >:(
34. danny024 (Posts: 10; Member since: 27 Feb 2011)
What's happening is that Phone Arena, PC mag, Cnet and others know it would be too biased to crown the iPhone winner when it's obviously not, so they just call it a "tie" or "depends on personal interest"
31. Packer29 (Posts: 56; Member since: 10 Sep 2011)
Iphone its not even close Motorola phones suck and i have seen that garbage screen its laughable!
33. danny024 (Posts: 10; Member since: 27 Feb 2011)
Oh so you like that glass body on your iPhone 4S? Well let's see what happens when you drop an iPhone from 4 feet. In terms of design the Razr killed the iPhone on this one, it's lighter, bigger, and MORE DURABLE (with its Kevlar back and Gorilla glass screen). Why bother to have that good looking classy iPhone if you need a 1/2 inch case on it just to last you a year with the thing? Even on my Samsung with Gorilla Glass I don't need a case, I just rock it with a screen protector.

I'm sorry that you are an uneducated conspicuous consumer. And about 4 of those points you made are are false. Enjoy your device that's only advantage is Siri and a nice camera. I'll enjoy my Razr and my free navigation, widgets, customization, 5 to 1 free to paid apps ratio, expandable memory, better battery life AND MY 4G LTE connection that's pulling 15mbps. Man your right the iphone sounds way better what was i thinking...

"Moto is junk, especially with it's OS"...is junk?
In which aspect?

Did anyone notice how jumpy the iphone video was? I thought the RAZR was more smooth. It's like they based their opinion on the specs not the actual video. I think it's way more simple. People who have and iPhone will say iPhone is better, Android users will say Android. People aren't capable of objective comments.

MACON, Ga. - After leading the Stetson men's basketball team (12-14, 9-6) to a pair of road victories, and securing the Hatters a spot in the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament for the first time since 2008-09, senior Adam Pegg was named A-Sun Player of the Week for the first time in his career, as announced by the league on Tuesday.
Pegg averaged 20.0 points and 8.5 rebounds in wins over Lipscomb and Northern Kentucky that allowed Stetson to remain in third place in the A-Sun standings with a league mark of 9-6. The senior scored 23 points and added 12 rebounds in recording his fourth double-double of the season in a come from behind victory over the Bisons. He then scored 17 points and grabbed five boards against the Norse for his 21st straight game in double figures.
While this marks his first Player of the Week honor from the conference, it's not Pegg's first weekly honor from the league. Last season he was named A-Sun Newcomer of the Week twice. Pegg was also named College Sports Madness A-Sun Player of the Week on Monday. It was the second time this season that the senior earned those accolades.
Stetson returns home this weekend to host Florida Gulf Coast on Friday, Feb. 22 at 7:00 p.m. The Hatters and the Eagles will square off on CSS and ESPN3 with Matt Stewart and Sonny Smith on the call.

THE LIQUID ARTS: Now that drinking has gotten so complicated, with mixology bars matching gourmet chili cook-offs for galling preciousness, a book has arrived to the rescue: The PDT Cocktail Book (Sterling Epicure, $24.95), by Jim Meehan with illustrations by Chris Gall.
This handsome hardback is all the tome required to tackle the everything-old-is-new-again world of serious shaking, muddling and mixing. It's an Americanized, 21st century version of the renowned Savoy Cocktail Book, which taught the Lost Generation how to tipple. It's similarly organized, with astute checklists about bar setups and equipment, succinct primers on spirits and wines and — constituting the bulk of the book — recipes for more than 300 cocktails, from the routine to the baroque to the very obscure. Some date back to the 1800s dawn of drink-making; others were created as recently as 2010.
The recipes reflect exhaustive research, with specific brands of spirits and other ingredients cited in exact proportions. That could intimidate the casual concocter, who's tasked to acquire 8-year-old Barbancourt rum, Navan liqueur and "Kassatly Chtaura Orgeat" from Lebanon to turn out a Rust Belt. Console yourselves that substitution breeds inspiration.
The author is the mixologist at New York's PDT lounge, a petri dish for cocktail culture secreted away behind a hotdog stand in the East Village. The name is an abbreviation of "please don't tell," but there's not much that Meehan doesn't tell about the bar business, and most of it is fascinating. Gall's bright, sly illustrations provide extra zest. The tight rendering of a glowering blue bull hunched over his drink nicely signifies a bad day — or year — for the stock market.
The PDT Cocktail Book is a compulsively thumb-able volume, complete with a stitched-in finding ribbon appropriate for this bibulous bible. However, readers will have to decide if they're willing to risk it in close contact with the spills and splotches that attend fulfilling its recipes.

Building mobile-friendly websites is the new frontier in Web design. As more people adopt tablets and smartphones, the demand for Web designers who can build mobile-friendly sites to reach users on these devices is increasing.
There's more to making mobile-friendly websites than just designing them to fit on smaller screens than traditional laptop (or desktop) environments. Mobile-friendly sites need to load faster, be easier to read in sunlight, and provide navigation that does not rely on a mouse. This course begins by surveying the design challenges in creating sites that will be inviting and attractive to mobile device users, including color scheming and page design. We'll look at successful mobile sites to see what works and what doesn't.
The course covers everything you'll need to build a complete, professional, mobile site and define it as an alternate to a site aimed at desktop and laptop users. You'll learn to build and customize animated navigation elements like those used in successful mobile-friendly sites. You'll create custom themes (sets of design elements such as colors, fonts, and boxes) using Dreamweaver's built-in theming tools and the open-source ThemeRoller site. You'll work with ways to organize your site, including listviews, collapsible blocks, and grids. You'll also create mobile-friendly forms with HTML5 form fields (such as sliders and flipswitches) that work well in mobile devices. You'll learn to embed HTML5 native media (audio and video).
This course is practical and project-oriented. While it's not required, a mobile device will come in handy so you can preview your projects. From the beginning of class, you'll upload your mobile site to a free, provided remote hosting server, where you can test it using your own mobile device.
While the main focus of this course is Dreamweaver's jQuery Mobile tools, you'll also learn to use other Dreamweaver features that enhance mobile sites with JavaScript. And you'll learn to use Responsive Design (Dreamweaver's Media Queries) to design mobile sites that adjust for different displays in larger tablets or smaller smartphones.
David Karlins is the author of more than a dozen books on Web design that have sold over a million copies worldwide, including HTML5 for CSS3 for Dummies. His articles have appeared in publications ranging from Macworld to Business Week. He has taught Web, graphic, and interactive design at San Francisco State University's Multimedia Studies Program and the University of California, Berkeley, Extension division. His Web design and consulting clients have ranged from Hewlett Packard to the Himalayan Fair.

TV father knows best – at least when it comes to approving boyfriends.
As Full House's Danny Tanner, Bob Saget, along with the rest of America, watched Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen grow up in the shared role of his youngest daughter, Michelle Tanner.
These days the wildly successful 22-year-old twins make headlines for their fashion sense and their boyfriend choices. Mary-Kate has been dating N.Y.C. artist Nate Lowman, 29, for 10 months, while Ashley has been seeing National Treasure actor Justin Bartha, 30, for 5 months.
"I approve of anyone that makes my friends happy, and they're my friends," Saget, 52, told PEOPLE at "Cool Comedy, Hot Cuisine," a benefit for the Scleroderma Research Fund at Caroline's in New York on Tuesday. "I am protective of the people I love."
The same sentiment was recently shared by the Olsens on Oprah. "If she doesn't like him, I won't like him," Mary-Kate said of Ashley's taste in men. "If she likes him, I'll like him."
Saget's former costars have shown equal support for his adventures in dating. "They've approved of my girlfriends," he said.

Thursday, April 4, 2013
Luxury accommodations with the tranquility of a bed and breakfast are now available at one of the Charleston area's most celebrated properties, Woodlands Mansion. The Mobil Five-Star, AAA Five Diamond Award winning Woodlands Resort & Inn closed last September when the property was sold to local businessman Tom Limehouse. Last month, he re-opened the property as Woodlands Mansion primarily focusing on corporate events and weddings. "With the high demand for luxury accommodations in Charleston area, I am pleased to announce the addition of lodging availability at Woodlands Mansion," Limehouse said. Conveniently located only 30 minutes from downtown Charleston, the impeccably restored 1906 historic Greek revival mansion sits on eleven acres of parkland grounds beneath towering pines, magnolias and moss draped oaks in historic Summerville allowing guests to relax and indulge in the casually refined elegance of the property. Within the mansion are 18 uniquely decorated guest accommodations with six different color schemes. All feature modern conveniences such as flat panel televisions, and BOSE CD stereos. Additional amenities include working fireplaces, king sized beds and lavish baths equipped with steam-heated towel racks, whirlpool tubs and separate showers. "Our guests feel at home from the moment they arrive," said Limehouse.

5 Movies Fixed With Just One Word
#2. A Dangerous Method
Maybe you think this movie looks good. It's about Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud hanging out being geniuses, right around the time that Jung gets into some pretty dark and controversial territory by carrying on a sexual relationship with one of his patients. Maybe it's that perfect combination of sex and psychiatry that most movies lack that's got you excited for this movie. The trailer even looks pretty good, but I still can't endorse it, because this movie was directed by David Cronenberg, who directed A History of Violence, a movie I foolishly saw in theaters with my mother. If any of my readers don't know why that would be uncomfortable, you obviously haven't seen the movie or fell asleep during one of the many uncomfortably brutal sex scenes. (Or you have a really, really close relationship with your mother.)
I will never forgive you, Cronenberg.
Becomes ...
Literally anything. "Method" is the least-threatening word that could possibly follow "Dangerous." I was so on board with this movie from the first two words, and then they blew it with "method." I offer some alternatives.
Or even ...
Wouldn't that be a good movie? An experimental form of therapy that's filled with scorpions! Spooooky. And I bet no one would have to watch Viggo Mortenson and Maria Bello sixty-nining each other with their mother in that movie.
#1. The Darkest Hour
In The Darkest Hour, aliens who feed on electricity (or something) invade earth, and it's up to five young friends to save the world. It looks like just about every other crappy alien invasion movie that's come out in the last few years except it features Emile Hirsch, who usually makes good movies, and Olivia Thirlby, who I would like to go on several dates with.
Still, there's room for improvement.
Becomes ...
I mean ... obviously, right?

DAYTON, Nev. - The Truckee girls basketball team managed to pull off a 30-22 win in a sloppy Division I-A crossover game at Dayton on Wednesday.
Truckee head coach Geoff Stephens said it appeared as if the game was played on a sheet of ice, as both teams had trouble not traveling or moving without the ball.
"Both teams looked like they were running in mud. Add to the mix that our girls were mentally still on vacation, it was hard to get the girls going," Stephens said. "After scoring 70 points in our last game, I thought we had our offense clicking. Basketball can be a very humbling game."
After allowing eight points in the first 4-minutes 34-seconds, the Wolverines gave up only 14 in the final 27 1/2 minutes en route to the win.
Both Stephens and Dayton coach Cliff Serawop credited Truckee's full-court press led by senior guards Olivia Duner and Katey Hamill, which they picked up in the third quarter after entering the half tied at 14.
"That's the first time we've had trouble not scoring," said Serawop, whose team dropped to 0-9. "At the beginning of the year we were at least in the high 20s. We've been getting into the 40s.
"The big game changer was their press. We had a lot of problems handling it tonight. We kind of panicked; took quick shots."
Although the Wolverines created 18 turnovers, they struggled to convert on the offensive end. They shot just 1-for-20 from the perimeter.
The offensive woes were even worse for Dayton, as the hosts went more than five minutes in the third quarter without a point. Duner and Jackie Bolton scored a bucket apiece at the start of the half to make it 18-14. Dayton's Ashley Sandy and Cheyenne Strong scored to tie the game at 18 with 2:49 left in the third.
Dayton went scoreless the remainder of the period, going 0-for-5 from the field and turning the ball over four times in that span. Duner's two baskets sparked a 6-0 quarter-ending run by the Wolverines.
A basket by Strong closed the gap to 26-22 with 4:51 left in the game, but that was the extent of Dayton's offense.
Sydnie English posted a game-high 12 points for the Wolverines, while Duner scored eight and Bolton had six points and four blocked shots. Karina Nunez and Lauren Peak provided solid defensive contributions, Stephens said.
Truckee improved to 7-4 overall and 3-1 against the Division I-A.
UP NEXT: Truckee plays at Elko on Friday and Spring Creek on Saturday. The Wolverines host Incline on Thursday, Jan. 10.

5 Reasons Life Actually Does Get Better
In the last year you've probably heard "It gets better" used as a motto to encourage gay teens who've been the victims of bullying. This is not a rebuttal of that, because I am not an asshole. What I do want to do is expand that message to everyone that age, whether you have a bully problem or not.
I figure it's time, as I tend to write about dark and often brutally depressing subjects, like how I was a smoldering drunk for over half of my life and how much my parents sucked at being parents. But I do it for a reason. I figure there are a lot of people in the same situation who feel like they're alone. That's always the worst part about having a shitty life in your teens or 20s, feeling like everyone else in the world has it figured out but you.
So, as a man with a truly shitty past, let me say that it's not just a slogan. It does get better. Specifically ...
The Money Situation Will Improve (Even if it Doesn't)
I'm not saying you'll be rich when you grow up. I'm saying it's really not about money. It's about freedom.
My girlfriend and I recently broke into the middle class after years of living one paycheck away from homelessness. And when I say "years" I mean all the years from age 15 to age 36. It was never easy, and often was the emotional equivalent of being on the receiving end of a never-ending gang fuck by a herd of Flavor Flavs.
Above, a stray one scouts the wild for its next victim.
But even at the lowest point of that bottomless pit of gold-plated testicles and giant clock necklaces, I wouldn't have traded it for a chance to be 15-years-old again. Why? Because at this stage of your life, you finally have some control over the situation. And when we talk about things getting better, this is at the heart of it.
As a kid, you just have to sit back and take it, not fully understanding why you're living the way you are. You're dependent on your parents' decisions and actions, whether they lead to bankruptcy or a new swimming pool. A lot of that pressure you're feeling in your teens and 20s is really just powerlessness. You feel like instead of driving the car, you're tied up in the trunk.
When you get out on your own, your financial future is yours, and you can steer that bastard where you want it to go. It's not easy, but even when it's hard there is something liberating about the fact that even if you crash our proverbial car through the front window of a liquor store, it was your decision.
And let's be honest, sometimes the liquor store deserves it.
And just to make sure you didn't skip over the "it's not easy" part: If you think "it gets better" means you can sit back and wait for a naked genie to fart cash into your living room, it will not. "It gets better" doesn't mean life lets up, it means you no longer have to submit to it. Not like when you're a kid, when your parents can divorce without your consent or make you change schools or make you get a stupid haircut. When you're an adult, you can get pissed and swing back.
Please, don't wait as long as I did to learn that lesson. My entire adolescent life was spent in poverty because my parents gave up and just accepted that life was a spiked enema, and they just had to bend over and take it. They made no effort to improve their situation, and so that's the lesson my siblings and I took with us when we got out on our own. "There is no escaping your financial fate."
I didn't push back until I was forced to. After 14 years of working an incredibly insufficient, shitty job, my back finally said, "Fuck this," and I was physically unable to do it anymore. I had nothing to go to. No backup plan. No savings. No family to turn to. And then I realized that I did in fact have skills that people would pay me to perform.
When I wasn't writing, I was putting in applications all over town. In the next town. In towns 30 minutes away. I applied to places online. When there was no gas in the truck, I walked to put in more applications. I swung harder. There are some days that I write for 16 straight hours, knowing that everything I just typed will be deleted and replaced with a completely different idea, or rejected outright. And that's OK because the success or failure is mine, not somebody else's. You can't put a price on that.
You Will Find Someone
There's a human trait that can sometimes be incredibly beneficial to growth, while at the same time devastating to morale. And that's the desire to have something right fucking here, right goddamn now. If you point that urgency toward something like getting a better job or a promotion, it can be a powerful tool. That urgency is what made all human civilization possible.
It's not so hot when you're lonely and want a companion -- especially when you're young and watching all of your friends joining the boob buffet and you're still alone every weekend. I've seen over and over in my life, people (including myself) who sink into depression because they don't feel that they're ever going to find love. So they look, and look, and look. Depending on who you are, you'll try bars, grocery stores, libraries, online dating services, friends of your mother. Then you latch onto the very first person who pays you any attention, even if they're not right for you. Because, shit, what if nobody else ever comes along?
Sure, you'll do. Close enough.
Then months or years later, you find yourself lonely again, or worse: in a catastrophically bad relationship that you're afraid to leave. "It's better to be in this shitty hookup than to be alone," you'll tell yourself, knowing on some level that you're full of shit. Eventually you get to the point where you blame yourself. "I'm too fat. Nobody will ever love me." "I have this third arm growing out of my forehead. I have no chance." What is hard to realize from that state of mind is that it's the desperation itself that's screwing you. If you're trying too hard, people can smell that a mile away. That in itself is ass-repellant.
I'm not sure I've ever met someone who went their whole life without a "significant other." But I've met plenty of people whose dates took an abrupt halt when they let slip with, "God, before you came along, I was just close to putting a gun to my temple and- oh, the steak is finally here!"
You have to relax. It turns out some lessons taught by romantic comedies aren't full of shit: Concentrate on taking care of yourself first, because 90 percent of a relationship's success is a matter of maturing into the type of person other people want to be around.
Every rule, of course, has exceptions.
If you're young (in high school or college) you don't even know who you are yet. Those early, failed relationships, or lack of a relationship, do not doom your prospects for romance for the rest of your life. Hell, at this point it wouldn't even matter if you met the love of your life -- you haven't even fully become the person who will eventually have something to offer them. Getting down about success with romance at this point is like giving up on a team in the preseason. In your early 20s, your starting players haven't even come off the bench yet.
But this still applies later in life -- I got divorced after a 10 year marriage, and found myself right back in that same, desperate place, scared of being alone. I didn't find anyone until I decided to stop worrying about that and start worrying about making less of a mess of my life. It makes sense, looking back -- when you're in that desperation mode, you put up fronts, and try to be the person you think the guy or girl wants. And that may work for one night, but when you both settle down, that outer "first impression" shell disappears, and you turn into you. Suddenly, you're "not the person I knew when we first met." And they're right. Because the person they met wasn't you.
Wait, that British accent wasn't real?!
If you get more comfortable with yourself, you stop trying so hard, you get more relaxed and don't feel like you have to work so hard to hide your true self. You don't stop looking for someone, I don't mean that; you just stop hating yourself so hard for not finding them. I know it sounds like a Catch-22, but it's the lack of self-hatred that will make you attractive.
High School is NOT the Best Years of Your Life
I'm not going to sugar coat this: Adults tell you that high school is the best time you'll ever have because they've forgotten what it was like. They just remember the part where they didn't have to worry about bills, and their hindsight becomes so focused and narrow that it couldn't see the period at the end of this sentence.
The truth is, for many if not most of us, high school is one of the most difficult times you'll ever live through. At that age, you're expected to act like an adult while gaining none of the benefits of adulthood. You are criticized for virtually everything you do by just about every adult in your social and family circle. You're expected to start holding up responsibilities, but under their rules.
"I see you've dressed stupid like I asked. Here's your dollar."
Everything I said above about how you need to be yourself and grow into a fully formed human being before your life can really start? Those teen years don't make it easy. If you look at porn, you have to hide it. If you hang out with friends that your parents don't approve of, you have to cover it up. When you go out, you have to be home by their set schedule. The house is decorated their way. You eat what they cook. You dress to their standards. You lose every argument because "You're only 16, you don't know what you're talking about yet."
"I don't care what they 'taught' you, the moon landing was faked."
And the entire time you're dealing with all of this stress, your body is fucking with you from the inside out, blasting you with hormones and chemicals that you've never experienced in your entire life until right now. You're sexually awkward because you don't have much, if any, experience. If you're not ready for sex, you're made to feel like an outcast, and you're instantly ostracized from certain social groups. It is terrifyingly hard. Some people don't make it through. You fucking will. Why?
In just a few years, you'll be on your own. Maybe you'll go to college or maybe you'll start work right away. Either way, you will, for the first time in your life, be the master of your own domain. You'll come home from a hard day's work and throw your pants on the floor because they're your pants. It's your floor. Your rules. And as you spend the rest of your pantsless day, relaxing on your self-made pantscarpet, there's not a goddamn thing anyone can do about it.
Why? Because...

The gay Rose Fest. They've got booths: clothing booths, food booths, political booths, and tons of booths where actual kids can play games. They've got speakers: a stage with national speakers, local speakers, and award-winning comedians. They've got throngs of people of all sexual persuasions mingling and enjoying the sunshine. And there's a beer garden--it wouldn't be Portland without it. Come for the sun, stay for the good-natured diversity.
EWWW FACTOR: 3 You might have to explain some of the clothing (or non-clothing) choices and bumper stickers to the kids, but otherwise it's people having fun in the sun like any other waterfront fest.
Tom McCall Waterfront Park, www.pridenw.org. Noon-11 pm Saturday, noon-6 pm Sunday, June 19-20. $5 suggested donation. All ages.
Imagine hundreds of dykes, bisexual women, trannies, feminists, and their supporters with loudspeakers and motorcycles, whipped to a political fervor and marching against sexism, homophobia and The Man. If that image scares you, then steer clear of the Dyke March. But if it gets your political juices flowing, then stake out your sidewalk spot for what is often the most energetic and political of Pride events. It's a particularly good opportunity for straight women to get a charge of feminism, and for straight men to support their queer, straight and otherwise sisters.
EWWW FACTOR: 8 Not for the light of queer hearted. Strong women will fit in fine. Supportive boys are accepted, but don't you boys go ogling at the shirtless dykes or you'll face the fate of Orpheus.
North Park Blocks, Northwest Park Avenue and Davis Street, 460-3473. Gather at 6:30 pm, march at 7 pm Saturday, June 19. (donations appreciated). All ages.
Bring the kids for the third-largest and, ahem, most colorful parade of the year. Chances are almost inescapable that you have a GLBT family member, boss, neighbor or lover, and this is your chance to show your support. The Lofton-Croteau family (who are fighting Florida's discriminatory adoption laws) will preside as grand marshals.
EWWW FACTOR: 1 The most offensive things you'll see are a few protesters and a few outfits best suited for late-night cable television.
Starting at Northwest Glisan and 15th Avenue and winding through downtown to Tom McCall Waterfront Park, www.pridenw.org. Starts 11:15 am Sunday, June 20. All ages.
Gays, lesbians and everyone in between gather at the Washington Park Amphitheater to watch Poison, Maria and every other drag queen in town celebrate the gentle spirit of Lady Elaine Peacock. This is the last one ever, so it's sure to go out with a bang.
EWWW FACTOR: 5 Chances are if you're cute, you're going to get hit on, or at least looked at. Be flattered.
Washington Park Amphitheater, www.peacockinthepark.com. 2:30-6 pm Sunday, June 27. All ages.

Goose Creek Post 166 has added a game with state power Florence Post 1 to the schedule.
The two teams will play at Goose Creek High School on Friday night at 7:30.
Post 1 is 11-1 overall and 9-0 in League II after sweeping Horry Post 111. They capped the series with a 28-0 win on Wednesday.
"They're good every year and we expect them to be really good again," Post 166 coach Josh Kubisz said.
Florence has four players that were in college this past spring and nine others are committed to colleges.
Goose Creek is 3-1 overall and 3-1 in League 1 play. Post 166 is coming off a 13-3 win over the Lowcountry Heat on Tuesday.
Asher Smith will get the start on the mound for Post 166. Kubisz indicated Goose Creek will throw "everyone."
Four Florence players have ties to the Lowcountry. Zach McKay is a current RHP at the Citadel and outfielder Clay Martin is a Citadel commitment.
RHP JK Love is headed to the College of Charleston next season but threw last night in the win over Horry.
Logan McRae, a 1B/3B, is a C of C commit too but will be participating in the North-South games this weekend.
Florence is coached by former South Carolina Gamecock Derick Urquhart, who went on to play five years of minor league baseball, reaching as high as Triple A with the then-Anaheim Angels.
Post 1 was state champion in 2012 and runner-up last summer.

Full preview can be read here, it's too long to post in full:
Detroit Exports: Eighteen Red Wings-contracted players are on the Griffins' 23-man roster, including goaltenders Tom McCollum and Jordan Pearce; defensemen Adam Almquist, Gleason Fournier, Brian Lashoff, Max Nicastro and Brendan Smith; and forwards Joakim Andersson, Louis-Marc Aubry, Mitch Callahan, Landon Ferraro, Tomas Jurco, Gustav Nyquist, Francis Pare, Trevor Parkes, Brent Raedeke, Riley Sheahan and Tomas Tatar.
I am very excited Especially for a 4th line of Callahan-Aubry-Grant.
Hopefully Drumnj will get us all sorted.
And hopefully the mods will let this stay in the Red Wings section, so we can all talk about hockey for once.

Static Caravans are usually about 40 feet long, and have ample space, this photo is of a living area in a standard caravan. As you can see, it is quite spacious, with enough seating, internal lighting, carpet, cupboard space, and curtains, it is really a home away from home. The windows allow lots of light in during the day, and the static caravans are double skinned with insulation between them, so they are quite warm as well, but if you do need extra heating there is usually a small gas fire which can heat up the caravan in minutes. ======================================== [URL="***********caravanmarket****.au/categories/caravans-for-sale.html" rel="dofollow"]caravan sales[/URL]

A combination of great and gay. Used on things or persons that are generally awesome but have a somewhat gay touch to it. Also used by people to insult others without them noticing because gayt pretty much sounds like great when it's said quickly enough.

Use chalkboard paint to create an erasable calendar or to-do list in your home office.
Create a colourful, functional chalkboard in any room with chalkboard paint that's erasable, washable, and durable.
Step #1: Prepare the Surface
Once you've selected the space for your chalkboard, clean the surface completely and repair any protruding nails or other imperfections. Some surfaces may require a primer or additional preparation:
Step #2: Tape Off the Area to Be Painted
Use painter's tape to mark off a space for your chalkboard.
Step #3: Apply the Chalkboard Paint
Using a brush or roller, apply the chalkboard paint within the taped-off area. For best results, use a Benjamin Moore custom-blended nylon/polyester brush or short-nap roller.
Step #4: Ensure Lasting Durability
For best results, allow the painted area to cure for 3 days before using it as a chalkboard. Then, prior to initial use, rub the entire surface with a piece of white chalk.

All those posts are accurate because alot of people were saying the same things. The Wings WERE going to offer Suter what ever he wanted but he turned it down to play with his boyfriend in Minnesota, as for Zach leaning towards the Pens...that was the most logical decission on that issue at that time.
